As the largest retailer of lingerie in the United States, the brand has struggled since 2016 due to shifting consumer preferences and controversysurrounding corporate leadership's business practices.Founded in 1977 by Roy and Gaye Raymond, the company's five lingerie stores were sold to Leslie Wexnerin 1982. Wexner rapidly expanded into American shopping malls, growing the company into 350 stores nationally with sales of $1 billion by the early 1990s whenVictoria's Secret became the largest lingerie retailer in the United States.From 1995 through 2018, the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show was an essential part of thebrand's image featuring an annual runway spectacle of models promoted by the company as fantasy Angels.

He also held the title of Count of Glatz.LifeHenry's parents were Henry II of Münsterberg and Oels and Margaret (1515–1559), daughter of Henry Vof Mecklenburg-Schwerin. Henry III was married to Magdalena Meseritsch of Lomnitz (Czech: Magdaléna Mezeřícká z Lomnice).When his father died in 1548,Henry was only six years old, so he initially stood under the guardianship of his uncle John, who called himself \"Duke of Bernstadt\" from 1548 until his death in1565. In 1565, Henry III took up the rule of the Duchy of Bernstadt. He was excessively in debt, and in 1574, he had to sell the Duchy of Bernstadt, includingthe castle and several more villages, to the von Schindel family.Henry III died childless in 1587. The Duchy of Bernstadt was bought back in 1604 by Henry'sbrother Charles II.References ad sourcesHugo Weczerka: Handbuch der historischen Stätten: Schlesien, Stuttgart, 1977, ISBN 3-520-31601-3, p. 19 andgenealogical tables on p. 602–603.Rudolf Žáček: Dějiny Slezska v datech, Prague, 2004, ISBN 80-7277-172-8, p. 145, 410 and 436.External linksMarek,Miroslav. \"Genealogy of Poděbrady\".

During his rule, Olaf made peace with regards to earlier royal conflicts with the church, strengthened the power of themonarchy, and is traditionally credited with founding the city of Bergen circa 1070. Around 1225, Snorri Sturluson wrote Olav Kyrres saga about King Olaf in theHeimskringla.BiographyOlaf was a son of King Harald Hardrada and Tora Torbergsdatter. Olaf joined his father during the invasion of England during 1066.However, he was only 16 years old during the Battle of Stamford Bridge in September 1066. He stayed on a ship and did not participate in the fighting. After theNorwegian defeat, he sailed with the remains of the Norwegian strike force back to Orkney, where they wintered. The return journey to Norway took place insummer 1067.After the death of his father, Olaf shared the kingdom with his brother Magnus II (Magnus 2 Haraldsson) who had become king the previous year.When King Magnus died during 1069, Olaf became the sole ruler of Norway.During his reign, the nation of Norway experienced a rare extended period of peace.He renounced any offensive foreign policy, instead protecting Norway's sovereignty through agreements and marriage connections. Domestically he emphasizedthe church's organization and the modernization of the kingdom. The latter resulted in, among other things, the reorganization of the body-guard and ofmeasures under which key cities, especially Bergen, could better serve as a royal residence. According to the Heimskringla by Snorri Sturluson, Olaf is said tohave founded the city of Bergen (originally called Bjørgvin).The death of Harald Hardrada and the serious defeat suffered by the Norwegians in 1066 tempted theDanish king, Svend Estridsen, to prepare for an attack on Norway. King Svend no longer felt bound by the ceasefire agreement signed with Harald Hardrada in1064, since it would only be valid for the two kings during their own lives. However Olaf made peace with King Svend and married the king's daughter Ingerid.Later, Olav's half sister Ingegerd married King Svend's son Olaf. Although there were some attacks on England by Danish forces, peace persisted betweenDenmark and Norway. Olaf also made peace with William the Conqueror of England.King Olaf broke with his father's line in his relationship to the church. HaraldHardrada had developed a continuing conflict with the Archbishopric of Bremen due to the archbishop's authority over the Norwegian church. Unlike his father,Olav recognized that authority fully. Political considerations may have been behind this conciliatory attitude, as may have been Olaf's concern with the churchorganization. Until his time bishops had formed part of the king's court and traveled with him around the country to take care of the ecclesiastical affairs while theking took care of worldly matters. The bishops established fixed residence in Oslo, Nidaros and Bergen. King Olaf also took the initiative for the construction ofchurches, including Christ Church in Bergen and Nidaros Cathedral in Trondheim.Olaf strengthened the power of the king and instituted the system of guilds inNorway. There are strong indications that the government of King Olaf began writing secure provincial laws to a greater extent. The Norwegian lawGulatingsloven was probably put in writing for the first time during his reign.King Olaf died of illness on 22 September 1093 in Haukbø, Rånrike, then part ofNorway (now Håkeby, Tanum Municipality, Sweden). He was buried at the Nidaros Cathedral. His marriage to Ingerid did not produce any children. His successoras king, Magnus III nicknamed Magnus Barefoot (Magnus Berrføtt), was acknowledged to be his illegitimate son.Appearance and characterThe Morkinskinna (c.1220) describes Olaf III as:\"[A] tall man, and everyone agrees that there has never been seen a fairer man or a man of nobler appearance.\"\"He had blond hair, alight complexion, and pleasing eyes, and he was well proportioned. He was taciturn for the most part, and not much of a speechmaker, though he was goodcompany after drink.\"Another description is found in the Heimskringla of Snorri Sturluson:\"Olaf was a stout man, well grown in limbs; and every one said ahandsomer man could not be seen, nor of a nobler appearance.\"\"His hair was yellow as silk, and became him well; his skin was white and fine over all his body;his eyes beautiful, and his limbs well proportioned. He was rather silent in general, and did not speak much even at Things; but he was merry in drinking parties.He loved drinking much, and was talkative enough then; but quite peaceful.\"\"He was cheerful in conversation, peacefully inclined during all his reign, and lovinggentleness and moderation in all things.\"MemorialA memorial to King Olaf Kyrre was placed in Bergen, Norway in connection with the city's 900-year anniversary.The abstract equestrian statue by noted Norwegian sculptor Knut Steen was unveiled on 21 May 1998.The \"Maine penny\"The Maine penny - a Norwegian silvercoin discovered in the US State of Maine in 1957 and suggested as evidence of Pre-Columbian trans-oceanic contact - has been dated to the time of Olaf III. Thecircumstances of its arrival from Norway to a Native American village in the present US territory remain unclear and highly disputed.See alsoList of NorwegianmonarchsPassage 3:Ingerid of DenmarkIngerid Swendsdatter of Denmark (also spelt Ingrid; 11th century – after 1093) was a Danish princess who becameQueen of Norway as the spouse of King Olaf III of Norway.Ingerid Swensdatter was the daughter of King Sweyn II of Denmark.

She was born a Danish princess, daughter of Eric IV of Denmark. As queen dowager, she played an important part in politics during the minorityof her son King Eirik II of Norway in 1280-82.BiographyIngeborg was born to Eric IV of Denmark and Jutta of Saxony. Ingeborg was only about six years-oldwhen her father was killed. Her mother returned to Saxony and married Count Burchard VIII of Querfurt-Rosenburg. In large part, Ingeborg and her three sisterslived in the court of her uncle King Christopher I of Denmark and Queen Margaret Sambiria. The four sisters were heirs to substantial lands in Denmark. Thestruggle to claim Ingeborg's inheritance from her murdered father would later involve Norway in intermittent conflicts with Denmark for decades tocome.Ingeborg was promised in marriage by the Danish regency government to Magnus, the son of King Haakon IV of Norway. Ingeborg arrived in Tønsberg on28 July 1261, after she being retrieved at the instruction of King Haakon from the monastery in Horsens (dominikanerkloster ved Horsens). On 11 September1261, she married Magnus in Bergen. Magnus and Ingeborg were crowned directly after their marriage, and Magnus was given the district of Ryfylke for hispersonal upkeep. The marriage was described as happy.On 16 December 1263 King Haakon IV of Norway died while fighting the Scottish king over the Hebrides,and Magnus became the ruler of Norway. Ingeborg is not known to have played any part in politics as queen. Her two older sons Olaf (1262 – 15 March 1267) andMagnus (b. and d. 1264) died in infancy, but the youngest two would later become Kings of Norway: Eric II (1268 – 13 July 1299) and Haakon V (ca. 10 April1270 – 8 May 1319).In 1280, she became a widow. Ingeborg was an important figure in the leadership of the country during the minority of King Eirik, thoughshe was not formally named regent. Her influence grew after her son was declared adult in 1283. Her principal ally was Alv Erlingsson, who had been a secondcousin of her husband King Magnus and served as the governor Borgarsyssel which today makes up the county of Østfold.During the reign of her cousin King EricV of Denmark, Ingeborg begun a feud regarding her inheritance, which she had never received. This largely private feud caused hostility between Norway andthe German Hanseatic cities and a tense relationship with Denmark. Several Danish nobles, including Count Jacob of Halland, took her side against the Danishmonarch, but she died before the affair was finished.Passage 5:Hallvard TrættebergHallvard Trætteberg (21 April 1898 in Løten – 21 November 1987 in Oslo) wasthe leading Norwegian heraldic artist and the expert adviser on heraldry to the Government of Norway and the Norwegian Royal Family for much of the 20th"} +{"doc_id":"doc_3","qid":"","text":"Passage 1:The Museums at Washington and ChapinThe Museums at Washington and Chapin are several museums that share a campus in South Bend, Indiana.The name is derived from the location, at the corner of Washington Street and Chapin Street in South Bend. Both museums have one common entrance offThomas Street, one block south of Washington Street. The museums currently include the History Museum and Studebaker National Museum.ExternallinksStudebaker National MuseumThe History MuseumPassage 2:William P. Didusch Center for Urologic HistoryThe William P. Didusch Center for Urologic Historyis a museum and the headquarters of the American Urological Association in Linthicum, Maryland. It is described as encompassing \"a rich and varied collection ofdrawings, photographs, and instruments of historical importance to urology, many displayed in the urological exhibits during the American Urological Association(AUA) conventions.\"BackgroundThe center is named in honor of William Didusch, the museum's founder and first curator. Didusch was a notable scientificillustrator, and Executive Secretary of the AUA. Didusch had begun working at Johns Hopkins University in 1915 as an illustrator and eventually a lecturer.Didusch was an artist but more committed to the drawing of illustrations, rather than paintings, of anatomy. As result he became a legend during his time afterhis work in Johns Hopkins Hospital. Some of his many illustrations were those of the anatomy of the urinary tract and instruments used to treat the urinarydiseases. The museum was formally established in 1971 as the William P. Didusch Museum, following Didusch's gift to the American Urological Association of hismany original urological drawings. It was accommodated within the headquarters buildings of the AUA, then on Charles Street in Baltimore. Didusch curated themuseum until his death in 1981, when he was succeeded by Herbert Brendler. After Brendler's death in 1986, William W. Scott (a colleague of Nobel LaureateCharles Huggins at the University of Chicago) became curator of the museum. When Scott retired in 1993, the post of curator went to Rainer Engel of JohnsHopkins. In 2003 – when the AUA moved to Linthicum, Maryland – the museum also moved. Its scope was extended to relate to the topic of research in urologichistory. Engel remained curator until 2011, when Michael Moran took over the position.CollectionThe museum provides 300 years of the history of urology,beginning from early and extremely dangerous kidney stone surgeries to modern ultra sound treatments that \"pulverizes these jagged mineral clumps withoutany need to enter the body\". It includes illustrations, urological tools such as catheters, cystoscopes (includes Nitze cystoscopes made in 1890 with platinumloops for illumination and rotating cystoscopes), operating resectoscopes, laparoscopes, lithotriptors, and resectoscopes; some of this urologic equipment wassterilized using formaldehyde or cyanide. All was donated by urologists, including Ernest F. Hock of Binghamton, New York, Hans Reuter of Stuttgart, Germanyand Adolf A. Kutzmann of Los Angeles.The Center also aids research in all fields of urologic history in the United States. It contains an extensive urological library,with early urological and medical texts, and the AUA archives.Current AUA Historian Engel considers the museum to show how medical history in urology evolved,and notes that the implements on display frequently scare visitors. Amongst its items are \"long, thick metal tubes that once opened the floodgates between someunfortunate soul's bladder and the outside world\", lassoes and nutcrackers on the end of steel tubes to break bladder stones, and Hugh Hampton Young's\"Prostate Punch\", which resembles a \"massively enlarged and curved hypodermic needle designed for the blind resection of prostate tissues\", used in prostatesurgery (to ream out the tube of prostate tissue blindly); this last implement was used on the wealthy railway magnate Diamond Jim Brady, who—cured of aprostate problem—gave a generous donation to Johns Hopkins which enabled the establishment of the Brady Urological Institute and also the museum.A numberof very large mineral samples of kidney stones are also on display. The collection in the museum also includes more than 30 microscopes dating as far back as the18th century, along with operating manuals; this acquisition on loan from a German urology family.A popular display is the \"spermatorrhea ring\", a device fromthe early 20th century used to prevent ejaculations while sleeping. It is made of a double ring of metal, with the inner ring clipped over the penis and the outerring, which is lined on the inside with an armature of blunt metal teeth, on the shaft. These teeth constitute what could be called the \"medically active ingredient\".In the event of voluntary unknowing erection while sleeping, \"the sensitive skin of the engorged part expands against the spiky outer ring, and the sleeper ispricked into consciousness in time to prevent nature from committing an unspeakable crime against itself\".Passage 3:Lake City-Columbia County HistoricalMuseumLake City-Columbia County Historical Museum is a living history museum at the May Vinzant Perkins House in Lake City, Florida.HistoryThe LakeCity-Columbia County Historical Museum is located in the Vinzant House.

John Vinzant died in 1907. Vinzant's youngestdaughter May Perkins was married to Herbert Perkins and moved away to Washington, D.C. In 1912 May Perkins had a son but he died in infancy and then herhusband died shortly afterwards. May Perkins returned to her father's house in Lake City. May Perkins' mother Mattied died in 1926 leaving her to live alone at thehouse until her death in 1981 at 102 years old. Perkins became a notable Lake City poet and historian.

He was the director of the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem for 17 months, resigning December 31,2020. He was the director of the Toledo Museum of Art in Ohio from 2010 to 2019. He was the director of the Hood Museum of Art from 2005 to 2010, and theNational Gallery of Australia (Canberra) from 1997 to 2004.CareerBrian Kennedy currently lives and works in the United States after leaving Australia in 2005 todirect the Hood Museum of Art at Dartmouth College. In October 2010 he became the ninth Director of the Toledo Museum of Art. On 1 July 2019, he succeededDan Monroe as the executive director and CEO of the Peabody Essex Museum.Early life and career in IrelandKennedy was born in Dublin and attended ClonkeenCollege. He received B.A. (1982), M.A. (1985) and PhD (1989) degrees from University College-Dublin, where he studied both art history and history.He workedin the Irish Department of Education (1982), the European Commission, Brussels (1983), and in Ireland at the Chester Beatty Library (1983–85), GovernmentPublications Office (1985–86), and Department of Finance (1986–89). He married Mary Fiona Carlin in 1988.He was Assistant Director at the National Gallery ofIreland in Dublin from 1989 to 1997. He was Chair of the Irish Association of Art Historians from 1996 to 1997, and of the Council of Australian Art MuseumDirectors from 2001 to 2003. In September 1997 he became Director of the National Gallery of Australia.National Gallery of Australia (NGA)Kennedy expandedthe traveling exhibitions and loans program throughout Australia, arranged for several major shows of Australian art abroad, increased the number of exhibitionsat the museum itself and oversaw the development of an extensive multi-media site. Although he oversaw several years of the museum's highest ever annualvisitation, he discontinued the emphasis of his predecessor, Betty Churcher, on showing \"blockbuster\" exhibitions.During his directorship, the NGA gainedgovernment support for improving the building and significant private donations and corporate sponsorship. However, the initial design for the building provedcontroversial generating a public dispute with the original architect on moral rights grounds. As a result, the project was not delivered during Dr Kennedy'stenure, with a significantly altered design completed some years later. Private funding supported two acquisitions of British art, including David Hockney's ABigger Grand Canyon in 1999, and Lucian Freud's After Cézanne in 2001. Kennedy built on the established collections at the museum by acquiring theHolmgren-Spertus collection of Indonesian textiles; the Kenneth Tyler collection of editioned prints, screens, multiples and unique proofs; and the Australian PrintWorkshop Archive. He was also notable for campaigning for the construction of a new \"front\" entrance to the Gallery, facing King Edward Terrace, which wascompleted in 2010 (see reference to the building project above).Kennedy's cancellation of the \"Sensation exhibition\" (scheduled at the NGA from 2 June 2000 to13 August 2000) was controversial, and seen by some as censorship. He claimed that the decision was due to the exhibition being \"too close to the market\"implying that a national cultural institution cannot exhibit the private collection of a speculative art investor. However, there were other exhibitions at the NGAduring his tenure, which could have raised similar concerns. The exhibition featured the privately owned Young British Artists works belonging to Charles Saatchiand attracted large attendances in London and Brooklyn. Its most controversial work was Chris Ofili's The Holy Virgin Mary, a painting which used elephant dungand was accused of being blasphemous. The then-mayor of New York, Rudolph Giuliani, campaigned against the exhibition, claiming it was \"Catholic-bashing\" andan \"aggressive, vicious, disgusting attack on religion.\" In November 1999, Kennedy cancelled the exhibition and stated that the events in New York had \"obscureddiscussion of the artistic merit of the works of art\". He has said that it \"was the toughest decision of my professional life, so far.\"Kennedy was also repeatedlyquestioned on his management of a range of issues during the Australian Government's Senate Estimates process - particularly on the NGA's occupational healthand safety record and concerns about the NGA's twenty-year-old air-conditioning system. The air-conditioning was finally renovated in 2003. Kennedy announcedin 2002 that he would not seek extension of his contract beyond 2004, accepting a seven-year term as had his two predecessors.He became a jointIrish-Australian citizen in 2003.Toledo Museum of ArtThe Toledo Museum of Art is known for its exceptional collections of European and American paintings andsculpture, glass, antiquities, artist books, Japanese prints and netsuke. The museum offers free admission and is recognized for its historical leadership in the fieldof art education. During his tenure, Kennedy has focused the museum's art education efforts on visual literacy, which he defines as \"learning to read, understandand write visual language.\" Initiatives have included baby and toddler tours, specialized training for all staff, docents, volunteers and the launch of a website,www.vislit.org. In November 2014, the museum hosted the International Visual Literacy Association (IVLA) conference, the first Museum to do so. Kennedy hasbeen a frequent speaker on the topic, including 2010 and 2013 TEDx talks on visual and sensory literacy.Kennedy has expressed an interest in expanding themuseum's collection of contemporary art and art by indigenous peoples. Works by Frank Stella, Sean Scully, Jaume Plensa, Ravinder Reddy and Mary Sibandehave been acquired. In addition, the museum has made major acquisitions of Old Master paintings by Frans Hals and Luca Giordano.During his tenure the ToledoMuseum of Art has announced the return of several objects from its collection due to claims the objects were stolen and/or illegally exported prior being sold tothe museum. In 2011 a Meissen sweetmeat stand was returned to Germany followed by an Etruscan Kalpis or water jug to Italy (2013), an Indian sculpture ofGanesha (2014) and an astrological compendium to Germany in 2015.Hood Museum of ArtKennedy became Director of the Hood Museum of Art in July 2005.During his tenure, he implemented a series of large and small-scale exhibitions and oversaw the production of more than 20 publications to bring greater publicattention to the museum's remarkable collections of the arts of America, Europe, Africa, Papua New Guinea and the Polar regions. At 70,000 objects, the Hoodhas one of the largest collections on any American college of university campus. The exhibition, Black Womanhood: Images, Icons, and Ideologies of the AfricanBody, toured several US venues. Kennedy increased campus curricular use of works of art, with thousands of objects pulled from storage for classes annually.Numerous acquisitions were made with the museum's generous endowments, and he curated several exhibitions: including Wenda Gu: Forest of Stone Steles:Retranslation and Rewriting Tang Dynasty Poetry, Sean Scully: The Art of the Stripe, and Frank Stella: Irregular Polygons.PublicationsKennedy has written oredited a number of books on art, including:Alfred Chester Beatty and Ireland 1950-1968: A study in cultural politics, Glendale Press (1988), ISBN978-0-907606-49-9Dreams and responsibilities: The state and arts in independent Ireland, Arts Council of Ireland (1990), ISBN 978-0-906627-32-7Jack B Yeats:Jack Butler Yeats, 1871-1957 (Lives of Irish Artists), Unipub (October 1991), ISBN 978-0-948524-24-0The Anatomy Lesson: Art and Medicine (with DavisCoakley), National Gallery of Ireland (January 1992), ISBN 978-0-903162-65-4Ireland: Art into History (with Raymond Gillespie), Roberts Rinehart Publishers(1994), ISBN 978-1-57098-005-3Irish Painting, Roberts Rinehart Publishers (November 1997), ISBN 978-1-86059-059-7Sean Scully: The Art of the Stripe,Hood Museum of Art (October 2008), ISBN 978-0-944722-34-3Frank Stella: Irregular Polygons, 1965-1966, Hood Museum of Art (October 2010), ISBN978-0-944722-39-8Honors and achievementsKennedy was awarded the Australian Centenary Medal in 2001 for service to Australian Society and its art.

According to legend, the goddess Saraswati blessed him in Koothanur, then he became a famous poet.FamilyAccording to alegend, there was once a Chola king called Muchukundan who had his capital at Karur. He is said to have won the favor of God Murugan after deep penances andthe latter is said to have bestowed upon him his personal bodyguards to aid him in his wars. Muchukundan Chola then married Chitravalli, daughter of the warriorchief and Murugan's bodyguard called Virabahu and spawned a new line. The poet Ottakoothar is presented as the scion of the family of this Sengunthar chief inhis work Eeti-elupattu. It is worth mentioning that this Muchukunda Chola figures in the ancestry of Rajendra I as detailed in his Tiruvalangadu copperplates.Literary worksOttakoothar (Tamil: \u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000) is renowned for his Ula poems on the three successive kings, Vikrama Chola, Kulothunga IIand Rajaraja II. The Ula poems are generally written in honor of the king and describe the triumphant procession of the king amidst the people and his subjects.He also authored a work dealing with the Kulottunga II's childhood called Kulottunga Cholan Pillai Tamil.Ottakoothar wrote Uttara Kandam, the seventh (lastchapter) kandam of the Tamil epic Ramayanam. Ottakoothar's works can be found at the open access Tamil literature repository Project Madurai.During thisperiod when he was very popular, the Sengunthar community, the one to which he belonged, requested him to compose a work in their honor. He initially refusedbut then later agreed provided they brought him 1008 heads of their first born sons. Accordingly, 1008 members of the community sacrificed their lives so that hecould write about their history. The poet then wrote, Eeti-elupattu, a poem consisting of seventy verses in honor of the spear and extolled the glorious past of theSengunthar chiefs and soldiers. He later wrote another poem called Elupp-elupattu in order to bring back the 1008 dead members to life. When he sang it theheads are said to have miraculously attached to their bodies and the dead became alive once again. The poet Koothar thus came to be known as Otta Koothar forhe attached the heads to the bodies and revived them.Popular cultureIn the 1957 Tamil film Ambikapathy, the character of Ottakoothar was portrayed and wasperformed by M. N. Nambiar. The character was also played by Rajesh in Mahasakthi Mariamman, a 1986 Tamil film.See alsoKoothanur Maha SaraswathiTemplePassage 2:Rajaraja IIRajaraja II was a chola emperor who reigned from 1150 CE to 1173 CE. He was made his heir apparent and Co-Regent in 1146 andso the inscriptions of Rajaraja II count his reign from 1146. Rajaraja's reign began to show signs of the coming end of the dynasty.Growing weaknessThe extentof the Chola territories remained as it was during Rajaraja's predecessors. The Vengi country was still firmly under the Chola rule.The Chola central administrationdid show weaknesses with regard to their control and effective administration over the outlying parts of the empire, which became pronounced towards the end ofRaja Raja-II's reign. However, Rajaraja regained adequate control of provinces like Vengi, Kalinga, Pandya and Chera territories. He probably even invaded SriLanka as is explained in one of the Tamil poems written during his time. This is borne out by the fact that not just Rajaraja, but also his successors likeKulothunga III bore titles like Tribhuvana Chakravartin attesting to their military capabilities and cultural achievements.During the last years of Rajaraja's reign, acivil unrest as a result of a succession dispute convulsed the Pandya country, further weakening Chola influence there. This was only to be expected as eventhough the Pandyas were subjugated by the Cholas since the time of Aditya I and were firmly controlled until the time of Virarajendra, the Madurai kingdomnevertheless kept making efforts from time to time, for gaining their independence from their occupiers. Later Pandyas like Maravarman or MaravarambanSundara Pandyan, Jatavarman Vira Pandyan and Jatavarman Sundara Pandyan steadily went on increasing their power and prestige and were to emerge as themost powerful kingdom in South India during the period 1200–1300. These developments were to slowly but surely weaken the Chola kingdom, though there wasa minor revival during the fairly steady rule of Kulothunga III (1178–1218).In as much as the cholas during his time were dominant militarily is noted by someliterature that mention Raja Raja's conquest and his innovative management initiatives.Here is excerpt from an inscription of his from the Rajagopala Perumaltemple:..Having won the heart (of the goddess) of the earth for countless ages, (he) was pleased to be seated on the throne of heroes, (made) of puregold..while the Villavar (Cheras), Telungar, Minavar (Pandyas),..and other kings prostrated themselves (before him). In the 8th year (of the reign) of (this) kingParakesarivarman, alias the emperor of the three worlds, Sri-Rajarajadeva.Death and successionThe last regnal year cited in Rajaraja's inscription is 26. Thatmakes the last year of his reign 1173. Rajaraja was not destined to live long. Rajaraja did not have any suitable direct descendant to ascend the Chola throne sohe chose Rajadhiraja Chola II a grandson of Vikrama Chola as his heir. According to the Pallavarayanpettai inscription, Rajaraja died four years after he madeRajadhiraja Chola II as heir-apparent. Since, Rajadhiraja himself was quite young, he would require the help of Pallavarayar to usher the young sons of Rajarajato safety. According to the inscription, Pallavarayar took steps immediately after the death of Rajaraja for the protection of the king's children, aged one and twoyears. According to historian Krishnaswami Aiyangar, Kulothunga Chola III who is widely considered as the last great Chola sovereign was the son of RajarajaII.Socio-Religious AchievementsKUMBAKONAMOne of the most important achievements of Rajaraja II was that despite being considered a weak king, it appearsthat he did enjoy periods of calm and peace especially during the later half of his 26-year rule. It was during this period that he initiated construction of the veryfamous Airavatesvarar Temple at Darasuram, Kumbakonam . This royal Siva temple, which is one of the trinity of the Great Living Chola Temples along with theBrihadeeswarar Temple Temples at Thanjavur and Gangaikonda Cholapuram all of which are World Heritage Sites. The Airavateswarar Temple was completedeither by the time his rule ended or during the initial period of his successor, Rajadhiraja II. The Airavateswarar Temple is considered an architectural marvel ofthe Later Chola period and this tradition was carried on by Kulothunga III who built the Kampahareswarar Temple at Tribhuvanam in commemoration of hisconquest of Madurai, Kalinga, Karuvur and his defeat of the Hoysala King Veera Ballala II This temple contains innumerable miniature freezes containing storiesfrom Ramayanam, Periya Puranam and other stories devoted to Siva-Parvati, Vinayagar, Karthikeya etc. The temple is also a symbol of continuing architecturaltradition of the Chola craftsmen for it also has musical stairs called the Saptasvaras near a small shrine for Ganapati. The Mukhamandapam or theMukhyamandapam of this temple is a real architectural marvel containing many great architectural specimen and was a continuation of the Later Chola traditionof building temples in the shape of giant elephant-driven Rathas or Chariots as like as in Melakadambur siva temple built by Kulothunga I, which was also carriedon not just by later Chola kings such as Kulothunga III but also by the kings of Kalinga and culminated in construction of the Sun Temple of Konarak by EasternGanga king Narasinghdeo. This is one of the later Chola temples which have remained unparalleled in terms of architectural excellence to date, that left a lastingimpression on the succeeding dynasties to the Chola rule.Rajaraja also made numerous grants to the temples at Tanjore, Chidambaram, Kanchi, Srirangam,Tiruchy as well as to the temples at Madurai. He was also believed to be a regular visitor to the temples in Parasurama's country (Kerala), which were alsorecipients of his grants. During his time the chola navies did remain dominant in the western sea as well as eastern sea.Overall he was a benevolent king who didput up good administrative processes, including efficient revenue generation systems as evidenced by his relief measures to the people during the times of boththe famine and civil unrest, which though did take some effort to subdue, but which finally ensured that he retained the loyalty and respect of his ministers,commanders and the general sections of the populace.Extent of the Empire and Summary of the ruleEven though there was a famine which further caused a civildisturbance, Raja Raja-II nevertheless, kept most of his adversaries under control and also succeeded in largely maintaining the Chola territories consisting oftheir possessions in Tamizhagam including Kongunadu, Madurai and Thirunelveli, Nellore-Guntur areas (with Renandu and Telugu Cholas having allegiance toRaja Raja-II but controlling their areas with more authority than before), Visaiyavadai(Vijayawada)-Eluru-Rajahmundry-Prakasham (Draksharama) areastraditionally controlled by Vengi kings, Kalinga (whose King was a tribute paying subordinate and a supportive feudatory to Chola overlordship).. up to the banksof Hooghly. In addition, he also had Northern Sri Lanka (as was the case during the time of his illustrious predecessor, Raja Raja-I) under his loose control whileas compared to before, even though he had subdued Chera kings, due to the re-emergence of Pandya power, he was forced to allow more autonomy to Malainadukings with whom he was believed to be having marital relations. But somehow, Raja Raja-II proved not strong enough to regain control of the eastern Gangavadiprovince, which was lost to the Hoysalas by his predecessor, the great Vikrama Chola. Possibly, the Hoysalas themselves were trying to free themselves from thecontrol of Western Chalukyas and other rapidly growing adversaries like Kalachuris and Kakatiyas, who were as hostile to the Chalukyas and Hoysalas, as theywere to the Cholas and even the Pandyas, as would be evidenced in the later years.NotesPassage 3:Ali RahumaAli Khalifa Rahuma (Arabic: \u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000) (born May 16, 1982) is a Libyan football midfielder, also a Libyan national.

He lived in Set Maat (translated as \"ThePlace of Truth\"), contemporary Deir el-Medina, on the west bank of the Nile, opposite Thebes. Sennedjem had the title \"Servant in the Place of Truth\". He wasburied along with his wife, Iyneferti, and members of his family in a tomb in the village necropolis. His tomb was discovered January 31, 1886. WhenSennedjem's tomb was found, it contained furniture from his home, including a stool and a bed, which he used when he was alive.His titles included Servant inthe Place of Truth, meaning that he worked on the excavation and decoration of the nearby royal tombs.See alsoTT1 – (Tomb of Sennedjem, family andwife)Passage 3:Kristján EldjárnKristján Eldjárn (Icelandic: [\u0000k\u0000r\u0000stjaun \u0000\u0000ltjaurtn\u0000]; 6 December 1916 – 14 September 1982) was the third president ofIceland, from 1968 to 1980.BiographyKristján was born in Tjörn, Svarfaðardal, Iceland. His parents were Þórarinn Kr. Eldjárn, a teacher in Tjörn, and SigrúnSigurhjartardóttir. He graduated in archaeology from the University of Copenhagen and taught at the University of Iceland. In 1957 he was awarded a doctoratefor his research into pagan burials in Iceland. He was a teacher at the Akureyri Grammar School and the College of Navigation in Reykjavík, becoming a curator atthe National Museum of Iceland in 1945 and its Director in 1947, a position he held until the 1968 presidential election.In 1966–68 he hosted a series ofeducational TV programs on the (then new) Icelandic National Television (RÚV), in which he showed the audience some of the National Museum's artefacts andexplained their historical context. These programs became quite popular, making him a well known and respected popular figure. This no doubt gave him theincentive needed to run in the 1968 presidential election as a politically non-affiliated candidate.Starting as the underdog in the 1968 presidential election,running against Ambassador Gunnar Thoroddsen who initially had a 70% lead in the opinion polls, Kristján won 65.6% of the vote on a 92.2% voter turnout. Hewas re-elected unopposed in 1972 and 1976. In 1980 he decided not to run for another term, wanting to devote his remaining years entirely to continuing hislifelong academic work.President Kristján Eldjárn died following heart surgery in Cleveland, Ohio on 13 September 1982.His son Þórarinn Eldjárn is one ofIceland's most popular authors, specializing in short stories, but also writing poetry and an occasional novel. His daughter Sigrún Eldjárn is also an author andillustrator of several children's books. Þórarinn's son, Ari Eldjárn, is Iceland's most prominent stand-up comedian.Passage 4:Place of birthThe place of birth (POB)or birthplace is the place where a person was born. This place is often used in legal documents, together with name and date of birth, to uniquely identify aperson. Practice regarding whether this place should be a country, a territory or a city/town/locality differs in different countries, but often city or territory is usedfor native-born citizen passports and countries for foreign-born ones.As a general rule with respect to passports, if the place of birth is to be a country, it'sdetermined to be the country that currently has sovereignty over the actual place of birth, regardless of when the birth actually occurred. The place of birth is notnecessarily the place where the parents of the new baby live. If the baby is born in a hospital in another place, that place is the place of birth. In many countries,this also means that the government requires that the birth of the new baby is registered in the place of birth.Some countries place less or no importance on theplace of birth, instead using alternative geographical characteristics for the purpose of identity documents. For example, Sweden has used the concept offödelsehemort (\"domicile of birth\") since 1947. This means that the domicile of the baby's mother is the registered place of birth. The location of the maternityward or other physical birthplace is considered unimportant.Similarly, Switzerland uses the concept of place of origin. A child born to Swiss parents isautomatically assigned the place of origin of the parent with the same last name, so the child either gets their mother's or father's place of origin. A child born toone Swiss parent and one foreign parent acquires the place of origin of their Swiss parent. In a Swiss passport and identity card, the holder's place of origin isstated, not their place of birth. In Japan, the registered domicile is a similar concept.In some countries (primarily in the Americas), the place of birth automaticallydetermines the nationality of the baby, a practice often referred to by the Latin phrase jus soli. Almost all countries outside the Americas instead attributenationality based on the nationality(-ies) of the baby's parents (referred to as jus sanguinis).There can be some confusion regarding the place of birth if the birthtakes place in an unusual way: when babies are born on an airplane or at sea, difficulties can arise. The place of birth of such a person depends on the law of thecountries involved, which include the nationality of the plane or ship, the nationality(-ies) of the parents and/or the location of the plane or ship (if the birthoccurs in the territorial waters or airspace of a country).Some administrative forms may request the applicant's \"country of birth\". It is important to determinefrom the requester whether the information requested refers to the applicant's \"place of birth\" or \"nationality at birth\". For example, US citizens born abroad whoacquire US citizenship at the time of birth, the nationality at birth will be USA (American), while the place of birth would be the country in which the actual birthtakes place.Reference list8 FAM 403.4 Place of BirthPassage 5:Beaulieu-sur-LoireBeaulieu-sur-Loire (French pronunciation: [boljø sy\u0000 lwa\u0000], literally Beaulieu onLoire) is a commune in the Loiret department in north-central France. It is the place of death of Jacques MacDonald, a French general who served in theNapoleonic Wars.PopulationSee alsoCommunes of the Loiret departmentPassage 6:Place of originIn Switzerland, the place of origin (German: Heimatort orBürgerort, literally \"home place\" or \"citizen place\"; French: Lieu d'origine; Italian: Luogo di attinenza) denotes where a Swiss citizen has their municipalcitizenship, usually inherited from previous generations. It is not to be confused with the place of birth or place of residence, although two or all three of theselocations may be identical depending on the person's circumstances.Acquisition of municipal citizenshipSwiss citizenship has three tiers. For a person applying tonaturalise as a Swiss citizen, these tiers are as follows:Municipal citizenship, granted by the place of residence after fulfilling several preconditions, such assufficient knowledge of the local language, integration into local society, and a minimum number of years lived in said municipality.Cantonal (state) citizenship,for which a Swiss municipal citizenship is required. This requires a certain number of years lived in said canton.Country citizenship, for which both of the aboveare required, also requires a certain number of years lived in Switzerland (except for people married to a Swiss citizen, who may obtain simplified naturalisationwithout having to reside in Switzerland), and involves a criminal background check.The last two kinds of citizenship are a mere formality, while municipalcitizenship is the most significant step in becoming a Swiss citizen. Nowadays the place of residence determines the municipality where citizenship is acquired, fora new applicant, whereas previously there was a historical reason for preserving the municipal citizenship from earlier generations in the family line, namely tospecify which municipality held the responsibility of providing social welfare. The law has now been changed, eliminating this form of allocating responsibility to amunicipality other than that of the place of residence. Care needs to be taken when translating the term in Swiss documents which list the historical \"Heimatort\"instead of the usual place of birth and place of residence.However, any Swiss citizen can apply for a second, a third or even more municipal citizenships forprestige reasons or to show their connection to the place they currently live – and thus have several places of origin. As the legal significance of the place of originhas waned (see below), Swiss citizens can often apply for municipal citizenship for no more than 100 Swiss francs after having lived in the same municipality forone or two years. In the past, it was common to have to pay between 2,000 and 4,000 Swiss francs as a citizenship fee, because of the financial obligationsincumbent on the municipality to grant the citizenship.A child born to two Swiss parents is automatically granted the citizenship of the parent whose last namethey hold, so the child gets either the mother's or the father's place of origin. A child born to one Swiss parent and one foreign parent acquires the citizenship,and thus the place of origin, of the Swiss parent.International confusionAlmost uniquely in the world (with the exception of Japan, which lists one's RegisteredDomicile; and Sweden, which lists the mother's place of domicile as place of birth), the Swiss identity card, passport and driving licence do not show the holder'sbirthplace, but only their place of origin. The vast majority of countries show the holder's actual birthplace on identity documents. This can lead to administrativeissues for Swiss citizens abroad when asked to demonstrate their actual place of birth, as no such information exists on any official Swiss identification"} +{"doc_id":"doc_10","qid":"","text":"Passage 1:Stella's oorlogStella's oorlog (Dutch for Stella's war) is a 2009 Dutch drama film directed by Diederik van Rooijen.CastPassage 2:Don Juan in a Girls'SchoolDon Juan in a Girls' School (German: Don Juan in der Mädchenschule) is a 1928 German silent comedy film directed by and starring Reinhold Schünzel.

The son of a German father and a Jewish mother, he was bornin St. Pauli, the poorest part of Hamburg.

He was one of Germany'sbest-known silent film stars after World War I, a period during which films were significantly influenced by the consequences of the war. Schünzel performed inboth comedies and dramas, often appearing as a villain or a powerful and corrupt man.He was influenced by filmmakers such as his mentor Richard Oswald andErnst Lubitsch, for whom he worked as an actor in the film Madame Du Barry in 1919.Schünzel's work was very popular in Germany and the Nazi regime gavehim the title of Ehrenarier or Honorary Aryan, allowing him to continue to direct and act despite his Jewish heritage (his mother was Jewish). He found that thegovernment, first under Kaiser Wilhelm II and later under Adolf Hitler, interfered with his film projects, compelling him to leave in 1937. Schuenzel described boththe Kaiser and Hitler \"persons of recognized authority and the worst possible dramatic taste.\"Moving to the United States, he worked in Hollywood, playing Nazisand scientists.

Unbeknownst to the two lovers, Don Juan is watchingthem from one of the balconies. Horrified by the thought of Maria leaving him for Philippe, he calls upon his Jester servant for help. So that he can pay for awedding, Juan sends the Fool into town to ask for money from the Mayor (Juan and Phillipe's father), under the false pretense that Juan needs the money to payoff medical bills. When Juan's father learns about his son's true intentions, he gives the Jester two coins so he and Juan can buy some rope to hang themselveswith. Outraged by this, Don Juan murders his own father backstage and heads over to the garden where Maria and Philippe were planning to meet.Maria arrivesshortly after, but is shocked to discover Don Juan there instead of her true love — Philippe. Demanding that she return his feelings or face the consequences, hechases after Maria but is stopped by her father, Don Vespis, who now realizes Juan is unfit to marry his daughter and threatens to have him arrested. Don Juandispatches of Maria's father by cutting his face off, and as he lay dying, he swears his ghost will haunt Don Juan to exact his revenge.Philippe soon discoversMaria mourning her dead father, and swears to avenge them both. He eventually finds Don Juan and the two engage in a duel which ends with Philippe's gorydemise. The Jester then arrives to tell Juan that there is a spectral man who wants to speak with him in the cemetery. The man turns out to be the spirit ofMaria's dead father, who warns Don Juan that his soul will be dragged to Hell at midnight.As in the traditional Czech puppet plays, Juan urges children not tocommit evil deeds like him.Juan's physical body keels over dead into an open grave, while his spirit is lowered into a trapdoor. Instead of being dragged into Hellas the legend suggests, the lifeless puppet merely falls into a compartment beneath the stage. Upon discovering an inanimate Don Juan, The Jester asks how heis going to get paid with his master dead.Passage 7:Don Juan in Hell (film)Don Juan in Hell (Spanish: Don Juan en los infiernos) is a 1991 Spanish drama film"} +{"doc_id":"doc_11","qid":"","text":"Passage 1:O Valencia!\"O Valencia!\" is the fifth single by the indie rock band The Decemberists, and the first released from their fourth studio album, The CraneWife.The music was written by The Decemberists and the lyrics by Colin Meloy. It tells a story of two star-crossed lovers. The singer falls in love with a personwho belongs to an opposing gang. At the end of the song, the singer's lover jumps in to defend the singer, who is confronting his lover's brother (the singer's\"sworn enemy\") and is killed by the bullet intended for the singer.Track listingThe 7\" single sold in the UK was mispressed, with \"Culling of the Fold\" as the B-sidedespite the artwork and record label listing \"After the Bombs\" as the B-side.Music videosFor the \"O Valencia!\" music video, The Decemberists filmed themselves infront of a green screen and asked fans to complete it by digitally adding in background images or footage. Stephen Colbert of The Colbert Report, having recentlyasked fans to do the same with a video of him with a light saber in front of a green screen, brought up The Decemberists on his segment \"Look Who's Riding onMy Coattails Now\" and accused the band of stealing the idea. The Decemberists' response was to challenge Stephen Colbert to a guitar solo showdown onDecember 20, 2006, on The Colbert Report.On January 19, 2007, The Decemberists premiered an alternate music video of \"O Valencia!\", directed by AaronStewart-Ahn, on MTV2. The video follows a character named Patrick, played by Meloy, as he and his love Francesca (Lisa Molinaro), daughter of \"the Boss\", planan escape to an unknown location. At a cafe, a man in a suit, portrayed by the band member Chris Funk, tells him to hide in the \"Valencia\" hotel (the Super ValueInn on North Interstate Avenue in Portland, Oregon) while he gets them the necessary documentation to escape. Above the name of the hotel, there is a neonsign that reads \"Office\". The letters have all burnt out except for the \"O\", creating the title of the song. The video then introduces other characters - variousassassination teams - who sit in different rooms of the hotel waiting for the chance to catch the two lovers. Most are portrayed by other members of the band(along with Meloy's wife, Carson Ellis). They kill off any potential witnesses to their plan. Patrick manages to take down one member from each team, before theygang up on him. The Boss arrives, along with the man from the cafe, who reveals that he snitched on Patrick and Francesca. They execute Francesca, whileforcing Patrick to watch. After they leave, Patrick finds a note by Francesca, which reveals that she never fell in love with him, and only wanted protection. 2months later, Patrick and the man, who has lost an eye from a previous assassination attempt, have a sit-down at the same cafe. The man reveals that hesnitched on Patrick just to take over the town. Patrick reveals that he poisoned a drink the man was having, but before he could get away, the man stabs Patrickin the neck with a fork before dying, followed by Patrick.The video is somewhat influenced by the distinct style and themes of director Wes Anderson, with boldfonts being used to introduce characters and groups on the bottom of the screen (much like in the film The Royal Tenenbaums). The band had previously (andmore explicitly) drawn influence from Anderson's Rushmore in their video for \"Sixteen Military Wives\". The layout of the hotel is also similar to the one used inBottle Rocket.Kurt Nishimura was chosen as the winner by mtvU for his video that depicted a love affair between a woman and her television, with the TVcontaining the green-screened Decemberists video footage.Passage 2:Mimi (song)\"Mimi\" is a popular song written by Richard Rodgers, with words by LorenzHart. It was featured in the movie Love Me Tonight (1932), in which it was first sung by Maurice Chevalier to Jeanette MacDonald, then later reprised by theentire company.

Her art inspired Ballew to considermaking music that \"sounded like her art looked\" as he has said. Ballew began writing original songs and digging up nursery rhymes and folk songs in the publicdomain to interpret and make his own. The first album, Here I Am!, was recorded during the summer of 2008 and released in February 2009.Ballew began toperform solo as Caspar Babypants in the Seattle area in January 2009. Fred Northup, a Seattle-based comedy improvisor, heard the album and offered to play ashis live percussionist. Northrup also suggested his frequent collaborator Ron Hippe as a keyboard player. \"Frederick Babyshirt\" and \"Ronald Babyshoes\" were theCaspar Babypants live band from May 2009 to April 2012. Both Northup and Hippe appear on some of his recordings but since April 2012 Caspar Babypants hasexclusively performed solo. The reasons for the change were to include more improvisation in the show and to reduce the sound levels so that very youngchildren and newborns could continue to attend without being overstimulated. Ballew has made two albums of Beatles covers as Caspar Babypants. Baby Beatles!came out in September 2013 and Beatles Baby! came out in September 2015.Ballew runs the Aurora Elephant Music record label, books shows, produces,records, and masters the albums himself.

He is the grandson of Frank Carney and uncle of singer Claire Sproule.BiographyBorn and raised in Derry, Northern Ireland, at the age of18 he moved to Dublin in Ireland, where he attended university. Growing up, he listened to Bob Dylan, Bert Jansch, the Beatles, British folk songs and traditionalIrish music. It was in Dublin that he entered the music scene which was prominent in Ireland at the time. As a teenager he had met the Ó Domhnaill family duringtrips to the Gaeltacht area of Rann na Feirste in Co. Donegal, and while in Dublin they formed a band, Skara Brae who would go on to have a great effect on Irishtraditional music.Dáithí is well known as a guitarist and was one of the first guitarists to use the DADGAD guitar tuning for Irish music after the originator DavyGraham. In 1992 he joined Irish supergroup Altan with whom he sings and plays guitar. Of his use of DADGAD tuning, Sproule says, it \"just seemed to instantlygel with Irish music. The nature of the tuning meant that you didn't really produce anything that was terribly, drastically, offensively wrong to people. I wasalways a singer, but when I started playing with instrumentalists in sessions and pubs, I was able to develop a style by just playing along with them quietly andtactfully.\" He was deemed \"a seminal figure in Irish music\" by The Rough Guide to Irish Music.Sproule is also a member of various other bands and has recordedfurther solo albums; he also teaches DADGAD guitar and traditional songs at the Center for Irish Music in St. Paul, Minnesota.DiscographySolo albumsThe Crow inthe Sun (2007)Lost River, Vol. 1 (New Folk, 2011)A Heart Made of Glass (1995)with AltanOther bandsBright and Early (with Paddy O'Brien and Nathan Gourley -2015 - New Folk Records)From Uig to Duluth (with Laura MacKenzie and Andrea Stern - 2014)The Pinery (with Laura MacKenzie – 2009 – New FolkRecords)Seanchairde (with Tara Bingham and Dermy Diamond – 2008 – New Folk Records)Fingal (with Randal Bays and James Keane – 2008 – New FolkRecords)Snug in the Blanket (with Jamie Gans and Paddy O'Brien – 2004)Overland (with Randal Bays – 2004)Trian II (with Liz Carroll and Billy McComiskey –1995)A Thousand Farewells (with Martin and Christine Dowling – 1995)Trian (with Liz Carroll and Billy McComiskey – 1992)Stranger at the Gate (with PaddyO'Brien – 1988)The Iron Man (with Tommy Peoples – 1984)Carousel (with Seamus and Manus McGuire – 1984)Spring in the Air (with James Kelly and PaddyO'Brien – 1981)Is it Yourself?

He was the grandfather of singer/poet Leonard Cohen.BiographyCohen was born in Congress Poland, part of the Russian Empire, to a Jewish family on May 11, 1868. He immigrated to Canada with his parents in 1871. He was educated at the McGill Model School and the Catholic Commercial Academy in Montreal. In 1888, he entered the firm of Lee & Cohen in Montreal; later became partner with his father in the firm of L. Cohen & Son; in 1895, he established W. R. Cuthbert & Co; in 1900, he organized the Canadian Improvement Co., a dredging contractor; in 1906, he founded The Freedman Co. in Montreal; and in May 1919, he organized and became President of Canadian Export Clothiers, Ltd. The Freedman Company went on to become one of Montreal’s largest clothing companies.In 1897, Cohen and Samuel William Jacobs founded the Canadian Jewish Times, the first English-language Jewish newspaper in Canada. The newspaper promoted the Canadianization of recent East European Jewish immigrants and encouraged their acceptance of Canadian customs as Cohen felt that the old world customs of immigrant Jews were one of the main causes of anti-Semitism. In 1914, the paper was purchased by Hirsch Wolofsky, owner of the Yiddish-language Keneder Adler, who transformed it into the Canadian Jewish Chronicle.He died on August 17, 1937, at the age of 69.PhilanthropyCohen was elected the first president of the Canadian Jewish Congress in 1919 and organized the Jewish Immigrant Aid Services of Canada. Cohen was also a leader of the Young Men’s Hebrew Benevolent Society (later the Baron de Hirsch Institute) and the United Talmud Torahs, a Jewish day school in Montreal. He also served as president of Congregation Shaar Hashomayim and president of the Jewish Colonization Association in Canada.Personal lifeCohen married Rachel Friedman of Montreal on February 17, 1891. She was the founder and President of Jewish Endeavour Sewing School. They had three sons and one daughter:Nathan Bernard Cohen, who served as a lieutenant in the World War; he married Lithuanian Jewish immigrant Masha Klonitsky and they had one daughter and one son:Esther Cohen andsinger/poet Leonard Cohen.Horace Rives Cohen, who was a captain and quartermaster of his battalion in World War I;Lawrence Zebulun Cohen, student at McGill University, andSylvia Lillian Cohen.Passage 2:Trịnh CươngTrịnh Cương (Hán tự: \u0000\u0000; 9 July 1686 – 20 December 1729) was the lord who ruled Tonkin from 1709 to 1729 (his title as ruler was An Đô Vương). Trịnh Cương was born to Trịnh Bính, a grandson of the former lord Trịnh Căn. He belonged to the line of Trịnh lords who had ruled parts of Vietnam since 1545. Like his great-grandfather and predecessor, Trịnh Căn, his reign was mostly devoted to administrative reforms.BiographyTrịnh Cương ruled Việt Nam during a time of external peace but growing internal strife. He enacted many governmental reforms in both financial matters and judicial rules. His main concern was the growing problem of landless peasants. Unlike the Nguyễn lords who were constantly expanding their territory south, the Trịnh lords had little room for expansion. Hence, the land supply was essentially fixed but the population kept growing.Trịnh Cương tried various legislative means to solve the problem. He tried to limit private land holdings. He tried to redistribute the communal fields of the small villages. Nothing really worked and the problem became very serious over the succeeding decades. According to historian R. H. Bruce Lockhart, the governmental reforms enacted by Trịnh Cương and his great-grandfather, Trịnh Căn, made the government more effective but, they also made the government more of a burden to the people. This had the effect of increasing the hatred felt by the people towards the Trịnh rulers in Hanoi.Trịnh Cương passed an edict forbidding people to practice Christianity in 1712. Like previous efforts to suppress Christianity, this had little real effect in Vietnam. However, he tried to offer the people an alternative, and he had many Buddhist pagodas constructed during his rule.As far as the Lê dynasty was concerned, the emperor, Lê Dụ Tông, ruled throughout Trịnh Cương's lifetime. The two men died within a few months of each other in 1729.SourcesEncyclopedia of Asian History, Volume 4. 1988.

'Brave Rock') was, according to Ottoman tradition, the son of Kızıl Buğa or Basuk and the father of Suleyman Shah. He was the grandfather of Ertuğrul Ghazi, the father of the founder of the Ottoman Empire, Osman I. He was also famously known for being the successing name of Ertokus Bey’s son Kaya Alp. He was a descendant of the ancestor of his tribe, Kayı son of Gun son of Oghuz Khagan, the legendary progenitor of the Oghuz Turks.Passage 4:Nguyễn Thị Ngọc DiễmNguyễn Thị Ngọc Diễm (Hán tự: \u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000, 1721–1784), posthumous name Từ Trạch (\u0000\u0000), was a consort of lord Trịnh Doanh.BiographyLady Nguyễn Thị Ngọc Diễm was born in 1721 at Linh Đường village, Linh Đàm commune, Thanh Trì district, Southern of Phụng Thiên prefect. She was commended to Trịnh clan's palace by her father who was Duke Nguyễn Văn Luân (\u0000\u0000\u0000, 1686–1739). She became a concubine of prince Trịnh Doanh and was granted the title Hoa Dung (\u0000\u0000).Passage 5:Zhao ShoushanZhao Shoushan (simplified Chinese: \u0000\u0000\u0000; traditional Chinese: \u0000\u0000\u0000; pinyin: Zhào Shòushān; 12 November 1894 – 20 June 1965) was a KMT general and later Chinese Communist Party politician.

Trịnh Doanh was the third son of Trịnh Cương, and belonged to the line of Trịnh lords who ruled northern Vietnam. His rule was spent putting down rebellions against Trịnh rule.Trịnh Doanh took over from his brother, Trịnh Giang, who, through financial mismanagement and bad behavior, provoked a wave of revolts against his rule. This was a time of increasing peasant revolts in both the north and the south under the Nguyễn lords. In the north, some of the revolts were apparently led by members of the royal Lê family. The rebellions which broke out in Tonkin during this period, were almost without number. Princes belonging to the royal family, generals, civil mandarins, common people, and out-casts from the hills, all rose in the provinces against the tyranny of the Trịnh, as well as for their personal interests. Chapter 16 (continued) Despite the many revolts, Trịnh Doanh defeated them all and passed the rule of Vietnam to his son, Trịnh Sâm.As far as the Lê dynasty was concerned, there was just one emperor, Lê Hien Tông (1740–1786), who occupied the royal throne in Hanoi.See alsoLê dynastySourcesEncyclopedia of Asian History, Volumes 4. 1988.

'Servant of Muttalib') was the fourth chief of the Quraysh tribal confederation. He was the grandfather of the Islamic prophet Muhammad.Early lifeHis father was Hashim ibn ' Abd Manaf,: 81 the progenitor of the distinguished Banu Hashim, a clan of the Quraysh tribe of Mecca. They claimed descent from Ismā'īl and Ibrāhīm. His mother was Salma bint Amr, from the Banu Najjar, a clan of the Khazraj tribe in Yathrib (later called Madinah). Hashim died while doing business in Gaza, before Abd al-Muttalib was born.: 81 His real name was \"Shaiba\" meaning 'the ancient one' or 'white-haired' because of the streak of white through his jet-black hair, and is sometimes also called Shaybah al-\u0000amd (\"The white streak of praise\").: 81–82 After his father's death he was raised in Yathrib with his mother and her family until about the age of eight, when his uncle Muttalib ibn Abd Manaf went to see him and asked his mother Salmah to entrust Shaybah to his care. Salmah was unwilling to let her son go and Shaiba refused to leave his mother without her consent. Mu\u0000\u0000alib then pointed out that the possibilities Yathrib had to offer were incomparable to Mecca. Salmah was impressed with his arguments, so she agreed to let him go. Upon first arriving in Mecca, the people assumed the unknown child was Muttalib's servant and started calling him 'Abd al-Muttalib (\"servant of Muttalib\").: 85–86Chieftain of Hashim clanWhen Mu\u0000\u0000alib died, Shaiba succeeded him as the chief of the Hāshim clan. Following his uncle Al-Mu\u0000\u0000alib, he took over the duties of providing the pilgrims with food and water, and carried on the practices of his forefathers with his people. He attained such eminence as none of his forefathers enjoyed; his people loved him and his reputation was great among them.: 61 'Umar ibn Al-Kha\u0000\u0000āb's grandfather Nufayl ibn Abdul Uzza arbitrated in a dispute between 'Abdul-Mu\u0000\u0000alib and \u0000arb ibn Umayyah, Abu Sufyan's father, over the custodianship of the Kaaba. Nufayl gave his verdict in favour of 'Abdul-Mu\u0000\u0000alib. Addressing \u0000arb ibn Umayyah, he said:Why do you pick a quarrel with a person who is taller than you in stature; more imposing than you in appearance; more refined than you in intellect; whose progeny outnumbers yours and whose generosity outshines yours in lustre? Do not, however, construe this into any disparagement of your good qualities which I highly appreciate. You are as gentle as a lamb, you are renowned throughout Arabia for the stentorian tones of your voice, and you are an asset to your tribe.Discovery of Zam Zam Well'Abdul-Mu\u0000\u0000alib said that while sleeping in the sacred enclosure, he had dreamed he was ordered to dig at the worship place of the Quraysh between the two deities Isāf and Nā'ila. There he would find the Zamzam Well, which the Jurhum tribe had filled in when they left Mecca. The Quraysh tried to stop him digging in that spot, but his son Al-\u0000ārith stood guard until they gave up their protests. After three days of digging, 'Abdul-Mu\u0000\u0000alib found traces of an ancient religious well and exclaimed, \"Allahuakbar!\" Some of the Quraysh disputed his claim to sole rights over water, then one of them suggested that they go to a female shaman who lived afar. It was said that she could summon jinns and that she could help them decide who was the owner of the well. So, 11 people from the 11 tribes went on the expedition. They had to cross the desert to meet the priestess but then they got lost.

His father, Greville Philip Austin Collins (1907–1972), was an insuranceagent for London Assurance and his mother, Winifred June Collins (née Strange, 1913–2011), worked in a toy shop and later as a booking agent at the BarbaraSpeake Stage School, an independent performing arts school in East Acton. Collins is the youngest of three children: his sister Carole competed as a professionalice skater and followed her mother's footsteps as a theatrical agent, and his brother Clive was a noted cartoonist. The family moved twice by the time Collins hadreached two; they settled at 453 Hanworth Road in Hounslow, Middlesex.Collins was given a toy drum kit for Christmas when he was five, and later his two unclesmade him a makeshift set with triangles and tambourines that fitted into a suitcase. As Collins grew older, these were followed by more complete sets bought byhis parents. He practised by playing along to music on the television and radio. During a family holiday at a Butlin's, a seven-year-old Collins entered a talentcontest singing \"The Ballad of Davy Crockett\", but stopped the orchestra halfway through to tell them they were in the wrong key. The Beatles were a major earlyinfluence on Collins, including their drummer Ringo Starr. He followed the lesser-known London band the Action, whose drummer he would copy and whose workintroduced him to the soul music of Motown and Stax Records. Collins was also influenced by jazz and big band drummer Buddy Rich, whose opinion on theimportance of the hi-hat prompted him to stop using two bass drums and start using the hi-hat.Around twelve, Collins received basic piano and music tuition fromhis father's aunt. He studied drum rudiments under Lloyd Ryan and later under Frank King, and considered this training \"more helpful than anything else becausethey're used all the time. In any kind of funk or jazz drumming, the rudiments are always there.\" Collins never learned to read or write musical notation anddevised his own system, which he regretted in later life. \"I've always felt that if I could hum it, I could play it. For me, that was good enough, but that attitude isbad.\"Collins attended Nelson Primary School until he was eleven. He was accepted into Chiswick County Grammar School, where he took to football and formedthe Real Thing, a school band that had Andrea Bertorelli, his future wife, and friend Lavinia Lang, as backup singers. Both women would have an impact onCollins' personal life in later years. Collins' next group was the Freehold, with whom he wrote his first song, \"Lying, Crying, Dying\", and played in a group namedthe Charge.Career1963–1970: Early acting roles and bandsCollins quit school at fourteen to become a full-time pupil at Barbara Speake. He had an uncreditedpart as an extra in the Beatles' film A Hard Day's Night (1964), where he is amongst the screaming teenagers during the television concert sequence. Later in1964, Collins was cast as the Artful Dodger in two West End runs of the musical Oliver! He was paid £15 a week, and called the role \"the best part for a kid in allLondon\". His days as the Dodger were numbered when his voice broke during a performance and had to speak his lines for the rest of the show. Collins starred inCalamity the Cow (1967), a film produced by the Children's Film Foundation. After a falling out with the director, Collins decided to quit acting to pursue music.He was to appear in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (1968) as one of the children who storm the castle, but his scene was cut. Collins auditioned for the role of Romeo inRomeo and Juliet (1968), but the role went to Leonard Whiting. He also travelled the country teaching people the \"crunch\" dance made popular by a Smith'scrisps advertising campaign.Collins's enthusiasm towards music grew during his acting years. He frequented the Marquee Club on Wardour Street so often,eventually the managers asked him to set out the chairs, sweep the floors, and assist in the cloakroom. It was here where Collins saw The Action and newcomersYes perform, which greatly influenced him. When auditions for Vinegar Joe and Manfred Mann Chapter Three were unsuccessful, Collins secured a position in theCliff Charles Blues Band and toured the country. This was followed by a stint in The Gladiators, a backing band for a black vocal quartet, which also featuredCollins's schoolmate Ronnie Caryl on guitar. Around this time, Collins learned that Yes were looking for a new drummer and spoke to frontman Jon Anderson, whoinvited him to an audition the following week. Collins failed to turn up, and later wondered what his life would have been like had he gone ahead with it.In 1969,Collins and Caryl joined John Walker's backing band for a European tour, which also consisted of guitarist Gordon Smith and keyboardist Brian Chatton. The tourfinished, and the quartet formed a rock band, Hickory, which recorded one single (\"Green Light\"/\"The Key\"). Still in 1n 1969, they were later renamed FlamingYouth. They signed to Fontana Records and recorded Ark 2 (1969), a concept album written and produced by Ken Howard and Alan Blaikley that tells the story ofman's evacuation from a burning Earth and its voyage into space. Each member sings a lead vocal.In May 1970, after Flaming Youth split, Collins played congason George Harrison's song \"Art of Dying\", but his contribution was omitted. Years later, Collins asked Harrison about the omission. Harrison sent Collins arecording allegedly containing Collins's performance; Collins was embarrassed to hear that the performance was poor. When Collins apologised, Harrisonconfessed that the recording was a prank, which Collins accepted in good humour.1970–1978: Genesis, later role as lead singer, and Brand XIn July 1970, therock band Genesis had signed with Charisma Records and recorded their second album Trespass (1970), but suffered a setback following the departures ofdrummer John Mayhew and guitarist Anthony Phillips. They decided to continue, and placed an advert in the Melody Maker for a drummer \"sensitive to acousticmusic\" and a 12-string acoustic guitarist. Collins recognised Charisma owner Tony Stratton-Smith's name on it, and he and Caryl went for the auditions. Thegroup, who had been a full-time working band for less than a year, consisted of school friends from Charterhouse School, a private boarding school: singer PeterGabriel, keyboardist Tony Banks, and bassist/guitarist Mike Rutherford. Collins and Caryl arrived early, so Collins took a swim in the pool at Gabriel's parents'house and memorised the pieces the drummers before him were playing.

Skylitzes explicitly refers to her as the mother of Samuel's heir Gavril Radomir, which means that she was probably Samuel's wife. On the other hand, Skylitzes later mentions that Gavril Radomir himself also took a beautiful captive, named Irene, from Larissa as his wife. According to the editors of the Prosopographie der mittelbyzantinischen Zeit, this may have been a source of confusion for a later copyist, and Agatha's real origin was not Larissa, but Dyrrhachium. According to the same work, it is likely that she had died by ca. 998, when her father surrendered Dyrrhachium to the Byzantine emperor Basil II.Only two of Samuel's and Agatha's children are definitely known by name: Gavril Radomir and Miroslava. Two further, unnamed, daughters are mentioned in 1018, while Samuel is also recorded as having had a bastard son.Agatha is one of the central characters in Dimitar Talev's novel Samuil.Passage 2:Nína TryggvadóttirNína Tryggvadóttir (March 16, 1913 – June 18, 1968) was born Jónína Tryggvadóttir in Seyðisfjörður, Iceland.

He was aninnovative composer of instrumental music as well as songs, and was the composer of the earliest surviving music for the guitar.BiographyThe place of his birth isnot recorded, but he grew up in Guadalajara, and probably received his musical training there. He most likely went to Italy in 1529 with Charles V, in thecompany of the fourth Duke of the Infantado, Íñigo López de Mendoza, marqués de Santillana. When he returned to Spain he became a priest, receiving the postof canon at the cathedral in Seville in 1546, where he remained for the rest of his life. While at the cathedral, he directed all of the musical activities; manyrecords remain of his musical activities there, which included hiring instrumentalists, buying and assembling a new organ, and working closely with composerFrancisco Guerrero for various festivities. Mudarra died in Seville, and his sizable fortune was distributed to the poor of the city according to his will.Mudarrawrote numerous pieces for the vihuela and the four-course guitar, all contained in the collection Tres libros de musica en cifras para vihuela (\"Three books ofmusic in numbers for vihuela\"), which he published on December 7, 1546 in Seville. These three books contain the first music ever published for the four-courseguitar, which was then a relatively new instrument. The second book is noteworthy in that it contains eight multi-movement works, all arranged by \"tono\", ormode.Compositions represented in this publication include fantasias, variations (including a set on La Folia), tientos, pavanes and galliards, and songs. Modernlisteners are probably most familiar with his Fantasia X, which has been a concert and recording mainstay for many years. The songs are in Latin, Spanish andItalian, and include romances, canciones (songs), villancicos, (popular songs) and sonetos (sonnets). Another innovation was the use of different signs fordifferent tempos: slow, medium, and fast.References and further readingJohn Griffiths: \"Alonso Mudarra\", Grove Music Online ed. L.

At the age of just 20, Wach was commissionedto paint an altar piece for the Paretz village church and produced his \"Christ with four Apostles\" (1807).Five years later came his artistic breakthrough, hispainting of Königin Luise (1812). After spending 1813 to 1815 in the Prussian army, Wach then established himself in Paris. He met William Hensel and the twobecame pupils of the painters Antoine Jean Gros and Jacques-Louis David. In 1817 Wach undertook a longer study trip to Italy, above all to study artists fromQuattrocento. His strongest influence – according to his own statements – was however Raphael. Two years later Wach returned to Berlin (1819) and set himselfup himself as a freelance artist. His first large commission was a picture for Berlin Concert Hall. Wach created for it a cover painting of the nine Muses. Prussianking Frederick William III made available to Wach premises in which he then furnished a studio. Due to its influence and its many pupils, this studio soon becamea school. By 1837 it had nearly 70 pupils, almost all of whom went on to forge artistic careers. His activity as a teacher did not noticeably impair his artistic work.Wach was honoured with the title professor and appointed a member of Prussian Academy of Arts (1820). To mark his 40th birthday Wach was officially promotedto royal painter (1827).Wach died in 1845.Selected worksChrist with four Apostles (1807)Königin Luise (1812)The Communion and the Auferstehung Christ (inthe Evangelist church of St Peter & Paul, Moscow)The beautiful Velletrinerin, (1820)Madonna picture (1826, for Prince Frederik of the Netherlands)The ThreeHimmlischen Virtues (1830, in Friedrichswerder Church in Berlin)Carl von Clausewitz (1830)Christ at the oil mountainPsyche of Amor surpriseA life-largeNympheBildnis Bettina von Savigny (1834)Johannes in the desert (1838)Judith with the head of the Holofernes (1838)Königin Elisabeth von Preußen(1840)Passage 2:Wilhelm Karl Ritter von HaidingerWilhelm Karl Ritter von Haidinger (or Wilhelm von Haidinger, or most often Wilhelm Haidinger) (5 February1795 – 19 March 1871) was an Austrian mineralogist.Early lifeHaidinger's father was the mineralogist Karl Haidinger (1756–1797), who died when Wilhelm wasonly two years old. The books on mineralogy and the collection of rocks and minerals of his father will almost certainly have raised the interest of young Wilhelm.The collection of his uncle, banker Jakob Friedrich van der Nüll, was by far larger and much more precious, even to such a degree that the famous professorFriedrich Mohs of Freiberg (Germany) had been asked to describe it in detail. Young Wilhelm Haidinger and the professor often met in the house of Wilhelm'suncle. After completing the \"Normalschule\" and the \"Grammatikalschule\" Wilhelm started out his pre-academical training at the local \"Gymnasium\". However,after completing only his first year, the \"Humanitätsclasse\", Wilhelm (now 17 years old) was asked by professor Friedrich Mohs to join him as his assistant at thenewly founded Universalmuseum Joanneum in Graz.Scientific careerDuring the next five years in Graz and the following six years in Freiberg Wilhelm Haidingerremained a devoted assistant and admirer of professor Friedrich Mohs. During these years Haidinger became more and more involved in scientific work. In 1821Wilhelm Haidinger published his first scientific paper: \"On the crystallisation of copper-pyrites\" in the Memoirs of the Wernerian Natural History Society(Edinburgh), volume 4, pp. 1–18. This paper formed the start of a grand total of some 350 scientific publications, all of which are listed in volume 3 of theCatalogue of Scientific Papers (1800–1863) and volume 10 of the same catalogue for the years 1864–1883. Apart from all these papers Wilhelm Haidingerpublished several books: Anfangsgründe der Mineralogie, an account on the collection of the \"k. k. Hofkammer im Münz- und Bergwesen\"; a review ofmineralogical research (which grew into a well-known series edited by Gustav Adolph Kenngott); his Handbuch der bestimmenden Mineralogie; an atlas to thistextbook on mineralogy and the first complete geological map of Austria-Hungary.In 1822 Wilhelm Haidinger accompanied August Graf von Breunner-Enckevoirt(1796–1877) on a six-month trip; they traveled from Linz to Munich, Basel, Paris, London and Edinburgh. In Edinburgh banker Thomas Allan provided Haidingerwith the means to translate Mohs' Grundriss der Mineralogie into English. (The translation appeared in 1823 in three volumes: Treatise on Mineralogy.)In 1823Wilhelm Haidinger left Freiberg to re-settle in Edinburgh, where he stayed until the summer of 1825. In Edinburgh Haidinger met mineralogists Robert Jamesonand Robert Ferguson of Raith, geologist James Hall, chemists Thomas Thomson and Edward Turner, and physicist David Brewster. The years in Edinburgh areamong Haidinger's most productive: The translation of the comprehensive textbook by Mohs appeared in print and 33 scientific papers were written and published(in, for example, The Edinburgh Journal of Science of David Brewster and in the Philosophical Journal of Robert Jameson). While in Edinburgh Haidinger's friendPierre Berthier named a new mineral (an iron antimony sulfide) \"Haidingérite\".Return to AustriaA long journey with Robert Allan (the son of Thomas Allan) in1825 and 1826 brought Wilhelm Haidinger to Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Austria, and northern Italy. The winter months of 1825 and 1826 were spentby Wilhelm Haidinger in the highest scientific circles of Berlin; here he met for example Gustav Rose and Heinrich Rose, Friedrich Wöhler, Eilhard Mitscherlich,Heinrich Gustav Magnus, and Johann Christian Poggendorff. In the spring of 1826 the journey was continued and visits to Friedrich Mohs in Freiberg, to JohannFriedrich Ludwig Hausmann and Friedrich Stromeyer in Göttingen, Hermann von Meyer in Frankfurt, Carl Cäsar Ritter von Leonhard and Leopold Gmelin inHeidelberg, Christian Gmelin, Franz von Kobell in Munich and Franz Xaver Riepl in Vienna completed their trip.In 1827 Wilhelm Haidinger returned to Austria andbecame one of the directors of the \"Erste (böhmische) Porzellan-Industrie Aktien Gesellschaft (Epiag)\" in Elbogen (now Loket, Czech Republic). Working in theceramics factory owned by his brothers Eugen and Rudolf did not prevent Wilhelm from continuing his mineralogical research and writing scientific papers. In theyears 1827 to 1840 Haidinger published some 24 papers (according to the Catalogue of Scientific Papers), which appeared in such well known journals asPoggendorff's Annalen and the Zeitschrift für Physik. One of the papers described the occurrence of fossil plants in the brown coal and sandstones of thesurroundings of Elbogen (Loket).In 1840 Wilhelm Haidinger moved to Vienna to succeed his tutor Friedrich Mohs as director of the mineralogical collection of the\"Kaiserlich-Königlichen Hofkammer im Münz- und Bergwesen\". How much Haidinger devoted himself to science in general is evident from the fact that he foundeda non-governmental scientific society: the \"Freunde der Naturwissenschaften in Wien\". Becker, in 1871, recalled how Haidinger had been able to organize hisscientific society in spite of serious opposition from the Austrian police. Haidinger, founder and president of the \"Freunde der Naturwissenschaften in Wien\"undertook to publish its proceedings from 1840 to 1850. The last meeting of the \"Freunde der Naturwissenschaften in Wien\" took place on 29 November 1850.After that the learned society ceased to exist. In addition to his work on the collections of the mineralogical museum, his lectures on mineralogy and geology toyoung mining engineers, Wilhem Haidinger found the time to continue his own research and published some 105 papers during the years 1849 to1860.DolomitizationHaidinger's scientific work became more and more concentrated on the phenomenon of \"pseudomorphosis\": that is minerals which havetaken up the outer aspect of another mineral. For example, anhydrite would have changed into gypsum, but the original cleavage planes and crystal habituswould give the impression of anhydrite. Another example given by Haidinger was that of calcium carbonate, which would readily change into calcium magnesiumcarbonate (dolomite). In his own words:... part of the carbonate of lime is replaced by carbonate of magnesia, so as to form in the new species a compound ofone atom each. How this change was brought about, is a difficult question to resolve, though the fact cannot be doubted, as we have in the specimen described ademonstration of it, approaching in certainty almost to ocular evidence.To geologists Haidinger is known especially for his postulate of the \"dolomitization\"reaction that would change calcium carbonate into dolomite at low temperatures (below 100 degrees Celsius). A solution of magnesium sulfate would convertcalcium carbonate into dolomite plus calcium sulfate in solution. Nonetheless, in 1844 Haidinger related how his friends, the well-known chemists FriedrichWöhler, Eilhard Mitscherlich, and Leopold Gmelin had explained to him, that powdered dolomite will react, even at room temperature, with a solution of calciumsulfate to give calcium carbonate plus a solution of magnesium sulfate. (\"Durch meinem verehrten Freund Wöhler wurde ich auf die Beobachtung, die auchMitscherlich und L. Gmelin anführen, aufmerksam gemacht, daß man Dolomit in Pulverform künstlich zerlegen kann, wenn man eine Auflösung von Gyps durchdenselben dringen läßt. Bittersalz wird gebildet und kohlensaurer Kalk bleibt zurück. Dieser Versuch erläutert wohle mit hinreichender Evidenz die Bildung desKalkspathes aus Dolomit bei unserer gewöhnlichen Temperatur und atmosphärischer Pressung\": Haidinger, 1844, p. 250.) It was Haidinger's employee at the\"Kaiserlich-Königlichen Hofkammer im Münz- und Bergwesen\", Adolph von Morlot, who undertook to investigate the formation of dolomite in the laboratory (nodoubt at the request of Haidinger). The outcome of the experiments confirmed what Friedrich Wöhler had predicted in 1843: dolomite does not form from calciumcarbonate plus a solution of magnesium sulfate unless high temperatures (more than 200 degrees Reamur = 250 degrees Celsius) and high pressures wereapplied. Von Morlot used calcite powder soaked in a concentrated solution of magnesium sulfate sealed in a glass tube. Heating the glass tube in an oil bathincreased the pressure inside it to at least 15 bar. The glass tube was able to withstand this high pressure only because it had been placed inside a gun barrelfilled with sand. In this way Von Morlot in 1847 had clearly demonstrated the existence of a minimum temperature for the synthesis of the mineral dolomite.When Von Morlot (1847 A) reacted dolomite powder with a concentrated solution of calcium sulfate at room temperature, the result was (solid) calcium carbonateplus a solution of magnesium sulfate.

He was the director of the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem for 17 months, resigning December 31, 2020. He was the director of the Toledo Museum of Art in Ohio from 2010 to 2019. He was the director of the Hood Museum of Art from 2005 to 2010, and the National Gallery of Australia (Canberra) from 1997 to 2004.CareerBrian Kennedy currently lives and works in the United States after leaving Australia in 2005 to direct the Hood Museum of Art at Dartmouth College. In October 2010 he became the ninth Director of the Toledo Museum of Art. On 1 July 2019, he succeeded Dan Monroe as the executive director and CEO of the Peabody Essex Museum.Early life and career in IrelandKennedy was born in Dublin and attended Clonkeen College. He received B.A. (1982), M.A. (1985) and PhD (1989) degrees from University College-Dublin, where he studied both art history and history.He worked in the Irish Department of Education (1982), the European Commission, Brussels (1983), and in Ireland at the Chester Beatty Library (1983–85), Government Publications Office (1985–86), and Department of Finance (1986–89). He married Mary Fiona Carlin in 1988.He was Assistant Director at the National Gallery of Ireland in Dublin from 1989 to 1997. He was Chair of the Irish Association of Art Historians from 1996 to 1997, and of the Council of Australian Art Museum Directors from 2001 to 2003. In September 1997 he became Director of the National Gallery of Australia.National Gallery of Australia (NGA)Kennedy expanded the traveling exhibitions and loans program throughout Australia, arranged for several major shows of Australian art abroad, increased the number of exhibitions at the museum itself and oversaw the development of an extensive multi-media site. Although he oversaw several years of the museum's highest ever annual visitation, he discontinued the emphasis of his predecessor, Betty Churcher, on showing \"blockbuster\" exhibitions.During his directorship, the NGA gained government support for improving the building and significant private donations and corporate sponsorship. However, the initial design for the building proved controversial generating a public dispute with the original architect on moral rights grounds. As a result, the project was not delivered during Dr Kennedy's tenure, with a significantly altered design completed some years later. Private funding supported two acquisitions of British art, including David Hockney's A Bigger Grand Canyon in 1999, and Lucian Freud's After Cézanne in 2001. Kennedy built on the established collections at the museum by acquiring the Holmgren-Spertus collection of Indonesian textiles; the Kenneth Tyler collection of editioned prints, screens, multiples and unique proofs; and the Australian Print Workshop Archive. He was also notable for campaigning for the construction of a new \"front\" entrance to the Gallery, facing King Edward Terrace, which was completed in 2010 (see reference to the building project above).Kennedy's cancellation of the \"Sensation exhibition\" (scheduled at the NGA from 2 June 2000 to 13 August 2000) was controversial, and seen by some as censorship. He claimed that the decision was due to the exhibition being \"too close to the market\" implying that a national cultural institution cannot exhibit the private collection of a speculative art investor. However, there were other exhibitions at the NGA during his tenure, which could have raised similar concerns. The exhibition featured the privately owned Young British Artists works belonging to Charles Saatchi and attracted large attendances in London and Brooklyn. Its most controversial work was Chris Ofili's The Holy Virgin Mary, a painting which used elephant dung and was accused of being blasphemous. The then-mayor of New York, Rudolph Giuliani, campaigned against the exhibition, claiming it was \"Catholic-bashing\" and an \"aggressive, vicious, disgusting attack on religion.\" In November 1999, Kennedy cancelled the exhibition and stated that the events in New York had \" obscured discussion of the artistic merit of the works of art\". He has said that it \"was the toughest decision of my professional life, so far.\"Kennedy was also repeatedly questioned on his management of a range of issues during the Australian Government's Senate Estimates process - particularly on the NGA's occupational health and safety record and concerns about the NGA's twenty-year-old air-conditioning system. The air-conditioning was finally renovated in 2003. Kennedy announced in 2002 that he would not seek extension of his contract beyond 2004, accepting a seven-year term as had his two predecessors.He became a joint Irish-Australian citizen in 2003.Toledo Museum of ArtThe Toledo Museum of Art is known for its exceptional collections of European and American paintings and sculpture, glass, antiquities, artist books, Japanese prints and netsuke. The museum offers free admission and is recognized for its historical leadership in the field of art education. During his tenure, Kennedy has focused the museum's art education efforts on visual literacy, which he defines as \"learning to read, understand and write visual language.\" Initiatives have included baby and toddler tours, specialized training for all staff, docents, volunteers and the launch of a website, www.vislit.org. In November 2014, the museum hosted the International Visual Literacy Association (IVLA) conference, the first Museum to do so. Kennedy has been a frequent speaker on the topic, including 2010 and 2013 TEDx talks on visual and sensory literacy.Kennedy has expressed an interest in expanding the museum's collection of contemporary art and art by indigenous peoples. Works by Frank Stella, Sean Scully, Jaume Plensa, Ravinder Reddy and Mary Sibande have been acquired. In addition, the museum has made major acquisitions of Old Master paintings by Frans Hals and Luca Giordano.During his tenure the Toledo Museum of Art has announced the return of several objects from its collection due to claims the objects were stolen and/or illegally exported prior being sold to the museum. In 2011 a Meissen sweetmeat stand was returned to Germany followed by an Etruscan Kalpis or water jug to Italy (2013), an Indian sculpture of Ganesha (2014) and an astrological compendium to Germany in 2015.Hood Museum of ArtKennedy became Director of the Hood Museum of Art in July 2005. During his tenure, he implemented a series of large and small-scale exhibitions and oversaw the production of more than 20 publications to bring greater public attention to the museum's remarkable collections of the arts of America, Europe, Africa, Papua New Guinea and the Polar regions. At 70,000 objects, the Hood has one of the largest collections on any American college of university campus. The exhibition, Black Womanhood: Images, Icons, and Ideologies of the African Body, toured several US venues. Kennedy increased campus curricular use of works of art, with thousands of objects pulled from storage for classes annually. Numerous acquisitions were made with the museum's generous endowments, and he curated several exhibitions: including Wenda Gu: Forest of Stone Steles: Retranslation and Rewriting Tang Dynasty Poetry, Sean Scully: The Art of the Stripe, and Frank Stella: Irregular Polygons.PublicationsKennedy has written or edited a number of books on art, including:Alfred Chester Beatty and Ireland 1950-1968: A study in cultural politics, Glendale Press (1988), ISBN 978-0-907606-49-9Dreams and responsibilities: The state and arts in independent Ireland, Arts Council of Ireland (1990), ISBN 978-0-906627-32-7Jack B Yeats: Jack Butler Yeats, 1871-1957 (Lives of Irish Artists), Unipub (October 1991), ISBN 978-0-948524-24-0The Anatomy Lesson: Art and Medicine (with Davis Coakley), National Gallery of Ireland (January 1992), ISBN 978-0-903162-65-4Ireland: Art into History (with Raymond Gillespie), Roberts Rinehart Publishers (1994), ISBN 978-1-57098-005-3Irish Painting, Roberts Rinehart Publishers (November 1997), ISBN 978-1-86059-059-7Sean Scully: The Art of the Stripe, Hood Museum of Art (October 2008), ISBN 978-0-944722-34-3Frank Stella: Irregular Polygons, 1965-1966, Hood Museum of Art (October 2010), ISBN 978-0-944722-39-8Honors and achievementsKennedy was awarded the Australian Centenary Medal in 2001 for service to Australian Society and its art. He is a trustee and treasurer of the Association of Art Museum Directors, a peer reviewer for the American Association of Museums and a member of the International Association of Art Critics. In 2013 he was appointed inaugural eminent professor at the University of Toledo and received an honorary doctorate from Lourdes University. Most recently, Kennedy received the 2014 Northwest Region, Ohio Art Education Association award for distinguished educator for art education.== Notes ==Passage 3:Richard HalliburtonRichard Halliburton (January 9, 1900 – presumed dead after March 24, 1939) was an American travel writer and adventurer who swam the length of the Panama Canal and paid the lowest toll in its history—36 cents in 1928. He disappeared at sea while attempting to sail the Chinese junk Sea Dragon across the Pacific Ocean from Hong Kong to the Golden Gate International Exposition in San Francisco, California.Early life and educationRichard Halliburton was born in Brownsville, Tennessee, to Wesley Halliburton, a civil engineer and real estate speculator, and Nelle Nance Halliburton. A brother, Wesley Jr., was born in 1903. The family moved to Memphis, where the brothers, who were not close, spent their childhood. Richard attended Memphis University School, where his favorite subjects were geography and history; he also showed promise as a violinist, and was a fair golfer and tennis player. In 1915 he developed a rapid heartbeat and spent some four months in bed before its symptoms were relieved. This included some time at the Battle Creek Sanitarium in Michigan, run by the eccentric and innovative John Harvey Kellogg, whose philosophy of care featured regular exercise, sound nutrition, and frequent enemas. In 1917, following an apparent bout of rheumatic fever, Wesley Jr., thought strong and in fine health, suddenly died.: 8 At 5'7\" (170 cm) and about 140 pounds (64 kg), Halliburton was never robust but would seldom complain of sickness or poor stamina. He graduated from the Lawrenceville School in 1917, where he was chief editor of The Lawrence. In 1921 he graduated from Princeton University, where he was on the editorial board of The Daily Princetonian and chief editor of The Princetonian Pictorial Magazine. He also attended courses in public speaking and considered a career as a lecturer.Career\"An even tenor\"Leaving college temporarily during 1919, Halliburton became an ordinary seaman and boarded the freighter Octorara that July, bound from New Orleans to England.: 19–23 He toured historic places in London and Paris, but soon returned to Princeton in early 1920 to finish his schooling.: 55–57 His trip inspired in him a lust for even more travel; seizing the day "} +{"doc_id":"doc_21","qid":"","text":"Passage 1:Konstantin LopushanskyKonstantin Sergeyevich Lopushansky (Russian: Константин Сергеевич Лопушанский; born June 12, 1947) is a Soviet andRussian film director, film theorist and author. He is best known for directing the apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic films Dead Man's Letters (1986), A Visitor to aMuseum (1989), Russian Symphony (1994), and The Ugly Swans (2006).In 1997, Lopushansky was awarded the Honored Artist of the Russian Federationhonorary title. In 2007, he was awarded the People's Artist of Russia honorary title, the highest Russian civilian honor for performing arts.BiographyEarlylifeKonstantin Lopushansky was born on June 12, 1947, in Dnepropetrovsk, Ukrainian SSR. His mother was Sofia Petrovna Lopushanskaya, who worked as alinguistic professor at Volgograd State University. His father was Sergei Timofeyevich Lopushansky, a front-line soldier who died in 1953 from wounds hesustained in war.Education and early careerIn 1970, Konstantin Lopushansky graduated from Kazan Conservatory as a violinist, and in 1973 he completed apostgraduate course at Leningrad Conservatory with a Ph.D. thesis in art criticism. Afterwards, Lopushansky taught at the Kazan and Leningrad conservatories forseveral years. Lopushansky took higher courses for scriptwriters and film directors from the director's department at the workshop of Emil Loteanu.Upongraduating from the directorial courses in 1979, Lopushansky assisted Andrei Tarkovsky in directing the legendary film Stalker, based on the novel RoadsidePicnic by Boris Strugatsky.Lopushansky's thesis film Solo made in 1980 was about a musician playing his last concert during the Siege of Leningrad.Since 1980Lopushansky has worked as a production director at the Lenfilm cinema studio.Dead Man's Letters and breakthroughIn 1986, Konstantin Lopushansky made hisfeature film directorial debut with the post-apocalyptic film Dead Man's Letters, which was co-written by Boris Strugatsky. It was screened at the InternationalCritics' Week section of the Cannes Film Festival in 1987 and received the FIPRESCI prize at the 35th International FilmfestivalMannheim-Heidelberg.Lopushanksy's 1989 film A Visitor to a Museum was entered into the 16th Moscow International Film Festival where it won the Silver St.George and the Prix of Ecumenical Jury.Lopushansky's 1994 film Russian Symphony was screened in the Forum section of the 45th Berlin International FilmFestival where it received the Prize of the Ecumenical Jury.Lopushansky made the 2006 film The Ugly Swans, based on the novel by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky.The science-fiction film was about a writer who visits a boarding school for gifted children where the teachers are mutants.Lopushansky's 2013 drama film TheRole told the story of an actor who decides to impersonate a deceased commander of the Red Army. It was shown in competition at the 35th MoscowInternational Film Festival. It received the Nika Award for Best Screenplay.Konstantin Lopushansky's drama film Through the Black Glass was released in2019.FilmographyPassage 2:Vyacheslav RybakovVyacheslav Rybakov (Russian: Вячеслав Михайлович Рыбаков; born January 1954 in Leningrad), is a Russianscience fiction author and an orientalist, interested in the medieval bureaucracy of China. He is a frequent collaborator with science fiction director KonstantinLopushansky. Screenwriting for his films The Ugly Swans, based on the 1972 novel by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky. As well as Dead Man's Letters in 1986, whichhe would later receive a Governmental Award of the RSFSR for the screenplay in 1987 after its premiere at the Toronto Film Festival.BiographyRybakov graduatedfrom the Oriental Studies Department of the Leningrad State University in 1976, mostly focusing on writings about the medieval bureaucracy of China andstarted. Soon after he studied at the Leningrad branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences Oriental Institute where he was able to publish over 40 thesis papers.While studying at Leningrad, the KGB had gained access to rough drafts of his anti-Soviet novel Trust due to Rybakov sending drafts to friends and classmates.This resulted in the copies being seized by the KGB and a warning. Although the KGB has checked in with Rybakov several years later, Rybakov insisted on writingthe final draft of the novel using previous remaining drafts and memory. The novel was later published a decade later. In 1983, Rybakov had met KonstantinLopushansky to discuss writing the screenplay for his film Dead Man's Letters. The process of developing the film allowed both artists to freely express theirvisions for the production of the film and further productions further on, this was a stark contrast to Russia's strict censorship rules at the time.SciencefictionAmong Rybakov's works were first published and include the prize-winning novels: Fireplace on a Tower (Ochag na bashne, 1990), and GravilyotTsesarevitch (1993) which depicts an alternative world featuring a Russian Empire in which communism is merely a religion, and our world is just an insanescientific experiment.His Death of Ivan Ilyich (1997) reveals the inner world of a contemporary person in a moment before his death.The novel Na budushchiygod v Moskve (In the adjacent year in Moscow, 2003) explores a Russia torn apart into small, poor countries, ruled by those idealists of the late Soviet Union whosincerely hated totalitarianism but didn't notice any good features of the nation, ruined the whole system of government and survived with help of the West. Inthe story, space is ruled by Darths and Vaders, and a Russian rocket scientist Ivan Obiwankin attempts to resurrect his people's feelings of nationalism bylaunching his own space ship.Rybakov preaches equality of cultures and states that cultures are often based on restrictions, and that simply removing therestrictions as anti-democratic may ruin the culture. Rybakov's novel also examines the Russian mentality, criticizing its tendency to understand and agree withthe positions of others as an inappropriate way to deal with the encroaching Western civilization. He argues that all living civilizations are unique, and that in thefuture it may become essential to save some other civilization from stagnation, because a world ruled by only one civilization has no future.He shows through anexample of the ruined family of the main character Alexey that, \"the surest way for you to cease being esteemed and appreciated... even just loved... is toimplicitly cede something essential and principal.\"Vyacheslav Rybakov and Igor Alimov were also the authors of There are no bad people. The work was originallyattributed to Holm van Zaichik but was later proved to be a hoax.

They try to find hope in the disturbing new world. Among these peopleis a history teacher who tries to contact via letters his missing son.PlotThe film is set in a town after a nuclear war; the town is destroyed and polluted withradioactive elements. The main character, Professor Larsen, played by Rolan Bykov, is a Nobel Prize in Physics laureate, who lives in the basement of a museumalong with his sick wife and several other people who used to work at the museum. He often writes letters to his son Eric, though he has no way of contactinghim. Larsen believes the war has ended and that more surviving humans exist outside the central bunker, but nobody else believes his theories.Larsen visits anorphanage where the current caretaker of the surviving children explains that she's thinking of evacuating to the central bunker, though may have to leave thechildren behind as they likely won't be allowed in since they're sick, to Larsen's disapproval. Larsen is informed that he also might be rejected from entering thecentral bunker due to his old age. With his wife's health declining, Larsen sneaks past several soldiers during curfew hours and attempts to find medicine for hiswife, escaping from a military raid in the process. When he returns to the museum's basement, however, he finds that his wife died. The other museumemployees bury her body.In one of his letters to Eric, Larsen tells a darkly humorous story on how someone failed to prevent the nuclear war. According to him,an operator from an electronics center had a chance to cancel the first missile launch (which happened due to a computer error), but was unable to reach thecomputer in time to abort the launch as he was slowed down by a cup of coffee in his hands. The operator then hung himself in return.Larsen makes a trip to thecentral bunker in an effort to find Eric. After sneaking into a medical facility, he enters the children's department, only to find all the children sick, injured, andscreaming in agony, much to Larsen's horror.After returning to the museum's basement, he finds that a museum employee is about to take his life as he thinksthe history of mankind has ended and that mankind was doomed from the very beginning.

She was regent of Meissen during the minority of her son,Ekbert II.LifeImmilla was the daughter of Ulric Manfred II of Turin and Bertha of Milan and thereby a member of the Arduinici dynasty. Her older sister wasAdelaide of Susa.Her first husband was Otto III, Duke of Swabia, whom she married c. 1036. After Otto's death in September 1057, Immilla married again(c.1058). Her second husband was Ekbert I of Meissen.In 1067, shortly before his death, Ekbert I attempted to repudiate Immilla in order to marry Adela ofLouvain, daughter of Lambert II, Count of Louvain and the widow of Otto I, Margrave of Meissen. After Ekbert's death in 1068, Immilla spent some time at theimperial court with her niece Bertha, before returning to Italy. It is possible that she acted as regent for her young son, Ekbert II, at this time.Immilla died inTurin in January 10, 1078. She is sometimes said to have become a nun before her death.Marriages and childrenWith her first husband, Otto, Immilla had fivedaughters:Bertha (or Alberada) (died 1 April 1103), married firstly Herman II, Count of Kastl, and married secondly Frederick, Count of KastlGisela, inheritedKulmbach and Plassenburg, married Arnold IV, Count of AndechsJudith (died 1104), married firstly Conrad I, Duke of Bavaria, and secondly Botho, Count ofPottensteinEilika, abbess of NiedermünsterBeatrice (1040–1140), inherited Schweinfurt, married Henry II, Count of Hildrizhausen and Margrave of theNordgauWith her second husband, Ekbert I, Immilla had the following children:Ekbert IIGertrudePassage 2:VolkoldVolkold of Meissen (also Wolcold, Folcold,Folchold, Volhold, Volkhuld, Volchrad, Vocco; died 23 August 992) was the second Bishop of Meissen.LifeBefore his elevation to the episcopate all that is known ofVolkold's life is that he was at the court of Emperor Otto I as one of the tutors of the Emperor's son, the future Otto II. He seems to have been appointed Bishopof Meissen in 969. Before his elevation Volkold was the patron of the young Willigis, later Saint Willigis, and used his influence to obtain for him a position in theImperial service. In 972 Volkold attended a synod in Ingelheim.When Boleslaus II, Duke of Bohemia, besieged the Albrechtsburg and the town of Meissen in 984in support of the Imperial ambitions of Henry II of Bavaria after the death of Otto II, Volkold was obliged to seek refuge from the Sorbs in Erfurt, under theprotection of Willigis, and was not able to return to his badly-damaged headquarters until after the re-conquest by Ekkehard I, Margrave of Meissen, in 987. Inthat year he put the diocese under Imperial protection.Doubtless as compensation for the bishopric's many losses he received from Otto II several gifts of estates,tolls and uses.While on a visit to Prague he suffered a stroke, on Good Friday 992, and returned paralysed to Meissen, where he died on 23 August and wasburied.Passage 3:Albrecht I of MeissenAlbrecht I of Meissen (died 1 August 1152) was Bishop of Meissen from 1150 to 1152.LifeAlbrecht I is not extensivelydocumented. He was supposedly from a family of the Sorbian nobility. Before his elevation to the bishopric he was a cathedral provost. Otto von Freisingmentions Albrecht in 1151 in connection with the dispute between Friedrich II of Berg and Herman van Horne over the office of bishop of Utrecht.With theagreement of the Pope, the bishopric of Meissen, like that of Naumburg, was under the protection of Burggraf Conrad I of Meissen, in return for which the bishopswere expected to undertake appropriate tasks from time to time. At the beginning of 1152 Conrad III entrusted Albrecht, who had the reputation of beingtalented at languages, with a diplomatic mission to the Byzantine Emperor Manuel I Komnenos. The bishop died either on the way to Constantinople or in the cityitself.Passage 4:John I, Duke of Brunswick-GrubenhagenJohn I, Duke of Brunswick-Grubenhagen (born: before 1322; died: 23 May 1367) was provost of the St.Alexandri Minster in Einbeck.He was the son of Duke Henry I \"the Marvelous\" of Brunswick-Grubenhagen and his wife Agnes of Meissen, daughter of MargraveAlbert II of Meissen.Passage 5:Agnes of WaiblingenAgnes of Waiblingen (1072/73 – 24 September 1143), also known as Agnes of Germany, Agnes of Poitou andAgnes of Saarbrücken, was a member of the Salian imperial family.

Her paternal grandparents were Henry VI, Holy Roman Emperor and Constance of Sicily. Her maternal grandparents were John of England and Isabellaof Angoulême.BirthThe date of her birth is difficult to ascertain because there is controversy over the exact number of children borne by her mother. Somesources say that she was the first or second child, born by the end of 1237; others say that she was the last child, born in December 1241, when Isabella died inchildbirth. Historians commonly accept the latter date.LifeShortly after her birth (1242), Margaret was betrothed to Albert \"the Degenerate\", eldest son and heirof Henry III \"the Illustrious\", Margrave of Meissen. The marriage took place in June 1255, the bride receiving Pleissnerland (the towns of Altenburg, Zwickau,Chemnitz and Leisnig) as her dowry.The couple settled at his residence in Eckartsberga and later moved to Wartburg, where she bore five children: three sons(Henry, Frederick and Dietzmann) and two daughters (Margaret and Agnes). Through her second son Frederick – later Margrave of Meissen – Margaret was thedirect ancestor of the Electors and Kings of Saxony and English Queen consorts Margaret of Anjou and Anne of Cleves.In 1265 her husband received the titles ofLandgrave of Thuringia and Count Palatine of Saxony (German: Pfalzgräf von Sachsen) after the abdication of his father, who retained control of Meissen.After theexecution of her nephew Conradin (29 October 1268), Margaret, as the next legitimate relative, became the rightful Queen of Sicily and the general heiress of theHohenstaufen claims over the Duchy of Swabia and the Kingdom of Jerusalem (despite the fact she was not descended from the Kings of Jerusalem, her fatherFrederick II had claimed the kingdom for himself). Her son Frederick assumed by some time this titles on her right.After discovering the adultery of her husbandwith Kunigunde of Eisenberg, Margaret left Wartburg; according to a legend, before her departure she bit her son Frederick in the cheek; he was called henceforthFrederick the Bitten (de: Friedrich der Gebissene). The flight took place on 24 June 1270. Margaret went to Frankfurt-am-Main and was supported there by thecitizens.

Brunel's directorial career started in the silent era, and reached its peak in the latter half of the 1920s. His survivingwork from the 1920s, both full-length feature films and shorts, is highly regarded by silent film historians for its distinctive innovation, sophistication and wit. Withthe arrival of talkies, Brunel's career ground to a halt and he was absent from the screen for several years before returning in the mid-1930s with a flurry of quotaquickie productions, the majority of which are now classed as lost. Brunel's last credit as director was in a 1940 comedy film, although he worked for a few yearsmore as a \"fixer-up\" for films directed or produced by friends in the industry.After decades of neglect, Brunel's work has latterly been rediscovered and hasundergone a critical re-evaluation. His lost films are eagerly sought, and the British Film Institute includes two, The Crooked Billet (1929) and Badger's Green(1934), on its \"75 Most Wanted\" list of missing British feature films.Early life and careerBorn in Brighton in 1892, Brunel was educated at Harrow School. Hismother Adey was a drama teacher so he grew up in a stage milieu and dabbled in acting and writing plays, as well as training in opera. On leaving school heworked for a time as a local journalist in Brighton before taking employment in London in the bioscope show distribution division of music hall chain MossEmpires. This spurred his interest in cinema, and in 1916 he and a friend formed a company called Mirror Films, which produced one film, The Cost of a Kiss, thefollowing year.In 1920 Brunel joined with actor Leslie Howard and author A. A. Milne to set up Minerva Films, which produced six comedy shorts over a two-yearperiod. Brunel's major break came in 1923, when he was offered the directorial role for the film The Man Without Desire, starring Ivor Novello. His feature filmdebut was a time-travelling story set in Venice and included location filming in the Italian city. Studio and post-production work took place in Germany, and theresulting work has been described as \"one of the stranger films to emerge from Britain in the 1920s\".Comedy shortsBetween 1923 and 1925, Brunel directed aseries of sophisticated comedy burlesque short films, frequently lampooning fads or institutions of the day. Initially these were produced and distributedindependently, but their popularity among film insiders and cognoscenti brought them to the attention of Michael Balcon, who offered Brunel the opportunity toproduce them through Gainsborough Pictures. These films were replete with punning intertitles and playful visual wit, with a number parodying the silhouetteanimation technique pioneered by Lotte Reiniger by using live actors in place of animated cutouts (Two-Chinned Chow, Shimmy Sheik, and Yes, We Have No...! –in which a man is driven to distraction by the ubiquity of the song \"Yes! We Have No Bananas\" and travels to ever-more exotic and outlandish locations to escapeit, only to find that no matter where in the world he goes, the song has got there first).Other films were self-referential in highlighting the ability of film toproduce a manipulated and distorted picture of reality. Brunel's most highly admired production of this period is 1924's Crossing the Great Sagrada, a spoof of thehugely popular travelogue genre of the time, in which its conventions are laid bare as the absurdities they are. Brunel uses the film to satirise the prevalentcolonial view of \"native people\", while highlighting the dishonesty inherent in the genre with ludicrously incongruous intertitles, tagging a view of an Africanmud-hut village as Wapping, and a sequence of the heroes struggling across a desert landscape as Blackpool beach. Critic Jamie Sexton notes: \"The film's surrealhumour prefigures that of later innovative British comedy, such as Monty Python's Flying Circus.Brunel also targeted the British film industry itself, with So This IsJollygood bemoaning what he saw as its general ineptitude in comparison with its American counterpart, and Cut It Out attacking the over-zealousness of theBritish film censors.Gainsborough filmsImpressed with Brunel's short film output, Balcon invited him to try his hand at directing full-length features forGainsborough. This resulted in five films between 1926 and 1929, all of which were high profile, big-budget productions with star names, and were designed asserious prestige vehicles with none of the opportunities for the humour and facetiousness of most of Brunel's earlier work. The first release was Blighty, aclass-based study of life during World War I, written by Brunel's friend Ivor Montagu. It was reported that Brunel was initially uneasy about directing a \"war film\"as it went against his moral values; however the finished product contained no militaristic or jingoistic material, concentrating instead on the effects of the unseenwar on an English family.In 1928 there followed two films which reunited Brunel with Novello as his leading actor: the first screen adaptation of MargaretKennedy's best-selling novel The Constant Nymph and a version of the Noël Coward play The Vortex. Brunel's third film of 1928 was A Light Woman starringBenita Hume, while 1929 brought the Madeleine Carroll vehicle The Crooked Billet, which Brunel described in his autobiography as \"my last, and perhaps my best,silent film\". The film's \"lost\" status however precludes it from being critically evaluated alongside his surviving work.Later careerWith the introduction of talkies toBritish cinema, Brunel's career impetus came to a sudden halt. It is not exactly clear why Brunel in particular should have found his career so comprehensivelyderailed at this time, although it is suggested that his pursuance of a legal claim against Gainsborough for alleged non-payment of fees may well have tarnishedhis reputation in the film industry by making him appear a potential trouble-maker. After writing and partly directing 1930's Elstree Calling for BritishInternational Pictures, he was sacked by the studio, who enlisted Alfred Hitchcock to finish the picture, and no further film offers were forthcoming.Brunelreturned to film directing in 1933, and over the following four years made 17 quota quickies, mainly for Fox British.

Sagal wrote the screenplay, which he titled Cuba Mine, about a young American woman who witnessedthe Cuban revolution and had a romance with a young Cuban revolutionary. The screenplay was to be a serious political romance story, documenting, amongother stories, how the Cuban revolution transformed from idealism to terror. It was commissioned in 1992 by Lawrence Bender, who was rising to fame with hisproduction of Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction. The screenplay was bought by a film studio, which requested several rewrites before decidingnot to produce the film. A decade later, Bender decided to make a Dirty Dancing sequel, and the film was very loosely adapted from Sagal's script. Not a singleline from Sagal's original screenplay appears in the final film and Sagal says that the only remnants of the political theme that existed in his script is a scenewherein some people are executed.Natalie Portman was offered the role of Katey Miller but she turned it down. Ricky Martin was also considered for the role ofJavier Suarez.

It tells a story of two star-crossed lovers. The singer falls in love with a personwho belongs to an opposing gang. At the end of the song, the singer's lover jumps in to defend the singer, who is confronting his lover's brother (the singer's\"sworn enemy\") and is killed by the bullet intended for the singer.Track listingThe 7\" single sold in the UK was mispressed, with \"Culling of the Fold\" as the B-sidedespite the artwork and record label listing \"After the Bombs\" as the B-side.Music videosFor the \"O Valencia!\" music video, The Decemberists filmed themselves infront of a green screen and asked fans to complete it by digitally adding in background images or footage. Stephen Colbert of The Colbert Report, having recentlyasked fans to do the same with a video of him with a light saber in front of a green screen, brought up The Decemberists on his segment \"Look Who's Riding onMy Coattails Now\" and accused the band of stealing the idea. The Decemberists' response was to challenge Stephen Colbert to a guitar solo showdown onDecember 20, 2006, on The Colbert Report.On January 19, 2007, The Decemberists premiered an alternate music video of \"O Valencia!\", directed by AaronStewart-Ahn, on MTV2. The video follows a character named Patrick, played by Meloy, as he and his love Francesca (Lisa Molinaro), daughter of \"the Boss\", planan escape to an unknown location. At a cafe, a man in a suit, portrayed by the band member Chris Funk, tells him to hide in the \"Valencia\" hotel (the Super ValueInn on North Interstate Avenue in Portland, Oregon) while he gets them the necessary documentation to escape. Above the name of the hotel, there is a neonsign that reads \"Office\". The letters have all burnt out except for the \"O\", creating the title of the song. The video then introduces other characters - variousassassination teams - who sit in different rooms of the hotel waiting for the chance to catch the two lovers. Most are portrayed by other members of the band(along with Meloy's wife, Carson Ellis). They kill off any potential witnesses to their plan. Patrick manages to take down one member from each team, before theygang up on him. The Boss arrives, along with the man from the cafe, who reveals that he snitched on Patrick and Francesca. They execute Francesca, whileforcing Patrick to watch. After they leave, Patrick finds a note by Francesca, which reveals that she never fell in love with him, and only wanted protection. 2months later, Patrick and the man, who has lost an eye from a previous assassination attempt, have a sit-down at the same cafe. The man reveals that hesnitched on Patrick just to take over the town. Patrick reveals that he poisoned a drink the man was having, but before he could get away, the man stabs Patrickin the neck with a fork before dying, followed by Patrick.The video is somewhat influenced by the distinct style and themes of director Wes Anderson, with boldfonts being used to introduce characters and groups on the bottom of the screen (much like in the film The Royal Tenenbaums). The band had previously (andmore explicitly) drawn influence from Anderson's Rushmore in their video for \"Sixteen Military Wives\". The layout of the hotel is also similar to the one used inBottle Rocket.Kurt Nishimura was chosen as the winner by mtvU for his video that depicted a love affair between a woman and her television, with the TVcontaining the green-screened Decemberists video footage.Passage 2:Donna SummerDonna Adrian Gaines (December 31, 1948 – May 17, 2012), knownprofessionally as Donna Summer, was an American singer and songwriter.

In 1968, she joined a German adaptation of the musical Hair in Munich, where she spent several years living,acting, and singing. There, she met music producers Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte, and they went on to record influential disco hits together such as \"Love toLove You Baby\" and \"I Feel Love\", marking Summer's breakthrough into international music markets. Summer returned to the United States in 1976, and morehits such as \"Last Dance\", her version of \"MacArthur Park\", \"Heaven Knows\", \"Hot Stuff\", \"Bad Girls\", \"Dim All the Lights\", \"No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)\"with Barbra Streisand, and \"On the Radio\" followed.Summer amassed a total of 32 chart singles on the US Billboard Hot 100 in her lifetime, including 14 top tensingles and four number one singles.

She returned to the Hot 100's top five in 1983, and claimed her finaltop-ten hit in 1989 with \"This Time I Know It's for Real\". She was the first artist to have three consecutive double albums reach the top of the US Billboard 200chart and charted four number-one singles in the US within a 12-month period.

Her last Hot 100 hit came in 1999 with \"I Will Go with You (Con te partirò)\".

She sold over 100 million records worldwide, making her one of the best-selling music artists of all time. She won fiveGrammy Awards. In her obituary in The Times, she was described as the \"undisputed queen of the Seventies disco boom\" who reached the status of \"one of theworld's leading female singers.\" Moroder described Summer's work on the song \"I Feel Love\" as \"really the start of electronic dance\" music. In 2013, Summer wasinducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In December 2016, Billboard ranked her sixth on its list of the \"Greatest of All Time Top Dance Club Artists\".EarlylifeDonna Adrian Gaines was born on December 31, 1948, in Boston, Massachusetts, to Andrew and Mary Gaines, and was third of seven children. She was raisedin the Boston neighborhood of Mission Hill. Her father was a butcher, and her mother was a schoolteacher.Summer's performance debut occurred at church whenshe was ten years old, replacing a vocalist who failed to appear. She attended Boston's Jeremiah E. Burke High School where she performed in school musicalsand was considered popular. In 1967, just weeks before graduation, Summer left for New York City, where she joined the blues rock band Crow. After a recordlabel passed on signing the group since it was only interested in the band's lead singer, the group agreed to dissolve.Summer stayed in New York and auditionedfor a role in the counterculture musical, Hair. She landed the part of Sheila and agreed to take the role in the Munich production of the show, moving there inAugust 1968 after getting her parents' reluctant approval. She eventually became fluent in German, singing various songs in that language, and participated inthe musicals Ich bin ich (the German version of The Me Nobody Knows), Godspell, and Show Boat. Within three years, she moved to Vienna, Austria, and joinedthe Vienna Volksoper. She briefly toured with an ensemble vocal group called FamilyTree, the creation of producer Günter \"Yogi\" Lauke.In 1968, Summerreleased (as Donna Gaines) on Polydor her first single, a German version of the title \"Aquarius\" from the musical Hair, followed in 1971 by a second single, aremake of the Jaynetts' 1963 hit, \"Sally Go 'Round the Roses\", from a one-off European deal with Decca Records. In 1969, she issued the single \"If You Walkin'Alone\" on Philips Records.She married Austrian actor Helmuth Sommer in 1973, and gave birth to their daughter Natalia Pia Melanie \"Mimi\" Sommer, the sameyear. She provided backing vocals for producer-keyboardist Veit Marvos on his Ariola Records release Nice to See You, credited as \"Gayn Pierre\". Severalsubsequent singles included Donna performing with the group, and the name \"Gayn Pierre\" was used while performing in Godspell with Helmuth Sommer during1972. Their marriage subsequently ended in divorce, and she married singer-guitarist Bruce Sudano in 1980.Music career1974–1979: Initial successWhileworking as a model part-time and backing singer in Munich, Summer met producer Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte during a recording session for Three DogNight at Musicland Studios. The trio forged a working partnership, and Donna was signed to their Oasis label in 1974. A demo tape of Summer's work withMoroder and Bellotte led to a deal with the European-distributed label Groovy Records. Due to an error on the record cover, Donna Sommer became DonnaSummer; the name stuck. Summer's first album was Lady of the Night. It became a hit in the Netherlands, Sweden, Germany and Belgium on the strength of twosongs, \"The Hostage\" and the title track \"Lady of the Night\". \"The Hostage\" reached the top of the charts in France, but was removed from radio playlists inGermany because of the song's subject matter: a high ranking politician that had recently been kidnapped and held for ransom. One of her first TV appearanceswas in the television show, Van Oekel's Discohoek, which started the breakthrough of \"The Hostage\", and in which she gracefully went along with the scriptedabsurdity and chaos in the show.In 1975, Summer passed on an idea for a song to Moroder who was working with another artist; a song that would be called\"Love To Love You Baby\". Summer, Moroder and Bellotte wrote the song together, and together they worked on a demo version with Summer singing the song.Moroder decided that Summer's version should be released. Seeking an American release for the song, it was sent to Casablanca Records president Neil Bogart.Bogart played the song at one of his extravagant industry parties, where it was so popular with the crowd, they insisted that it be played over and over, each timeit ended. Bogart requested that Moroder produce a longer version for discothèques. Moroder, Bellotte, and Summer returned with a 17-minute version. Bogarttweaked the title and Casablanca signed Summer, releasing the single in November 1975. The shorter 7\" version of the single was promoted by radio stations,while clubs regularly played the 17-minute version (the longer version would also appear on the album).By early 1976, \"Love to Love You Baby\" had reached No.2 on the US Hot 100 chart and had become a Gold single, while the album had sold over a million copies. The song generated controversy due to Summer'smoans and groans, which emulated lovemaking, and some American stations, like those in Europe with the initial release, refused to play it. Despite this, \"Love toLove You Baby\" found chart success in several European countries, and made the Top 5 in the United Kingdom despite the BBC ban.

The film was released on July 10,1931, through RKO Radio Pictures.PlotBud Doyle is a jockey who has discovered the secret to get his favorite mount, Six-Shooter, to boost his performance. If hesimply chants the phrase, \"Whoop-te-doo\", the horse responds with a burst of speed. There is a special bond between the jockey and his mount, but there isincreasing tension between Doyle and the horse's owner, Pop Blake (who also raised Doyle), over Doyle's relationship with local singer Babe Ellis. Blake sees Ellisas a distraction prior to the upcoming big race, the Camden Stakes.The owner of the club where Babe sings, Wally Weber, has his eyes on his horse winning theCamden Stakes. When the issues between Pop and Doyle come to a head, Pop tells Doyle that he has to choose: either he stops seeing Babe, or he'll be replacedas Six-Shooter's jockey in the big race. Angry and frustrated, Doyle quits. Weber approaches him to become the jockey for Rose Dawn, Weber's horse, and Doyleagrees, with the precondition that he not ride Royal Dawn in the Camden Stakes, for he wants Six-Shooter to still win the race. Weber accedes to that oneprecondition, however, on the day of the race, he makes it clear that Doyle is under contract, and that he will ride Rose Dawn in the race.Upset, Doyle has nochoice but to ride Rose Dawn. However, during the race, he manages to chant his signature \"Whoop-te-doo\" to Six-Shooter, causing his old mount to win therace. Furious that his horse lost, Weber goes to the judges, who rule that Doyle threw the race, pulling back on Rose Dawn, to allow Six-Shooter to win, andsuspend Doyle from horse-racing.Devastated, Doyle wanders from town to town, riding in small local races, until his identity is uncovered, and he is forced tomove on. Soon, he is out of racing all together, and forced to taking one odd-job after another. Eventually, he ends up south of the border, in Tijuana, Mexico,working as a waiter. Doyle's friend, Sleepy Jones, hears of Doyle's plight. Jones gets the racing commission to lift the ban, by proving Doyle's innocence. Hethen, accompanied by Babe, gets a group to buy Six-Shooter from Pop, and they take the horse down to Tijuana, where there is another big race in the nearfuture, the Tijuana Handicap.Doyle is reluctant to ride at first, however, he is eventually cajoled into it by Sleepy and Babe, and of course, his bond withSix-Shooter is there. He rides the horse to victory, re-establishing his credentials as a rider. The film ends by jumping a few years into the future, which showsDoyle and Babe happily married, with a child of their own.Cast(Cast list as per AFI database)Eddie Quillan as Bud DoyleLew Cody as Wally WeberJames Gleasonas Sleepy JonesMarian Nixon as Babe EllisKing Baggot as MikePaul Hurst as Cantina BartenderClarence Wilson as Mr. EmoryFrederick Burton as Pop BlakeBillySullivan as Speed MartinLillian Leighton as Ma ClancyMike Donlin as The DudeProductionCritical responseMordaunt Hall of The New York Times gave a verynon-committal review of this film, with neither much praise or criticism.

When Siu-bo tries to take advantage of them, Ng Ying-hung, Ng Sam-kwai's son, exposes his lies. Scorned and unaware of the stranger's title, Siu-bo sends his men after Ying-Hung, but Lung-er, now disguised as Ying-hung's male bodyguard, easily fends them off.At the palace, The Emperor, wary of Ng Sam-kwai's intentions, marries off the Princess to Ying-hung and assigns Siu-bo to be the Imperial Inspector General of the wedding march, so that he can keep his eyes on the general's activities. This complicates Siu-bo's relationship with Princess when she tells Siu-bo she's pregnant with his child.The One Arm Nun and her disciple, Ah Ko, later ambushes the procession. Fighting to a standstill with Lung-er, the assailants escape with Ying-hung and Siu-bo.

[27 December 1619 (N.S.)] – 29 November 1682 (O.S.) [9 December 1682 (N.S)]) was an English army officer, admiral, scientist, and colonial governor. He first came to prominence as a Royalist cavalry commander during the English Civil War. Rupert was the third son of the German Prince Frederick V of the Palatinate and Elizabeth, eldest daughter of King James VI and I of Scotland and England.Prince Rupert had a varied career. He was a soldier as a child, fighting alongside Dutch forces against Habsburg Spain during the Eighty Years' War (1568–1648), and against the Holy Roman Emperor in Germany during the Thirty Years' War (1618–1648). Aged 23, he was appointed commander of the Royalist cavalry during the English Civil War, becoming the archetypal \"Cavalier\" of the war and ultimately the senior Royalist general. He surrendered after the fall of Bristol and was banished from England. He served under King Louis XIV of France against Spain, and then as a Royalist privateer in the Caribbean Sea. Following the Restoration, Rupert returned to England, becoming a senior English naval commander during the Second Anglo-Dutch War and Third Anglo-Dutch War, and serving as the first governor of the Hudson's Bay Company. He died in England in 1682, aged 62.Rupert is considered to have been a quick-thinking and energetic cavalry general, but ultimately undermined by his youthful impatience in dealing with his peers during the Civil War. In the Interregnum, Rupert continued the conflict against Parliament by sea from the Mediterranean to the Caribbean, showing considerable persistence in the face of adversity. As the head of the Royal Navy in his later years, he showed greater maturity and made impressive and long-lasting contributions to the Royal Navy's doctrine and development. As a colonial governor, Rupert shaped the political geography of modern Canada: Rupert's Land was named in his honour, and he was a founder of the Hudson's Bay Company. Rupert's varied and numerous scientific and administrative interests, combined with his considerable artistic skills, made him one of the more colourful public figures in England of the Restoration period.Parents and ancestryRupert's father was Frederick V of the Palatinate, of the Palatinate-Simmern branch of the House of Wittelsbach. As Elector Palatine, Frederick was one of the most important princes of the Holy Roman Empire. He was also head of the Protestant Union, a coalition of Protestant German states. The Palatinate was a wealthy state, and Frederick lived in great luxury.Frederick's mother, Countess Louise Juliana of Nassau, was daughter of William the Silent and half-sister of Maurice, Prince of Orange, who as stadtholders of Holland and other provinces were the leaders of the Dutch Republic.Rupert's mother was Elizabeth Stuart, daughter of King James VI of Scotland and I of England. Thus Rupert was nephew of King Charles I of England and Scotland, and first cousin of King Charles II of England and Scotland, who made him Duke of Cumberland and Earl of Holderness. His sister Electress Sophia was the mother of George I of Great Britain.Rupert was named in honour of Rupert, King of Germany, a famous Wittelsbach ancestor.Early life and exileRupert was born in Prague, Bohemia, in 1619, and was declared a prince by the principality of Lusatia. His father had just been elected king by the largely Protestant estates of Bohemia. This was perceived as an act of rebellion by the Catholic House of Habsburg, who had been kings of Bohemia since 1526, and initiated the Thirty Years' War. Frederick was not supported by the Protestant Union, and in 1620 was defeated by Emperor Ferdinand II in the Battle of White Mountain. Rupert's parents were thus mockingly termed the \"Winter King and Queen\". Rupert was almost left behind in the court's rush to escape Ferdinand's advance on Prague, until courtier Kryštof z Donína (Christopher Dhona) tossed the prince into a carriage at the last moment.Rupert accompanied his parents to The Hague, where he spent his early years at the Hof te Wassenaer (the Wassenaer Court). Rupert's mother paid her children little attention even by the standards of the day, apparently preferring her pet monkeys and dogs. Instead, Frederick employed a French couple, Monsieur and Madame de Plessen, as governors to his children. They were raised with a positive attitude towards the Bohemians and the English, and as strict Calvinists. The result was a strict school routine including logic, mathematics, writing, drawing, singing, and playing instruments.As a child, Rupert was at times badly behaved, \"fiery, mischievous, and passionate\" and earned himself the nickname Robert le Diable, or \" Rupert The Devil\". Nonetheless, Rupert proved to be an able student. By the age of three he could speak some English, Czech, and French, and mastered German while still young, but had little interest in Latin and Greek. He excelled in art, being taught by Gerard van Honthorst, and found mathematics and science easy. By the time he was 18 he stood about 6 ft 4 in (1.93 m) tall.Rupert's family continued their attempts to regain the Palatinate during their time in The Hague. Money was short, with the family relying upon a relatively small pension from The Hague, the proceeds from family investments in Dutch raids on Spanish shipping, and revenue from pawned family jewellery. Frederick set about convincing an alliance of nations—including England, France and Sweden — to support his attempts to regain the Palatinate and Bohemia. By the early 1630s Frederick had built a close relationship with King Gustavus of Sweden, the dominant Protestant leader in Germany. In 1632, however, the two men disagreed over Gustavus' insistence that Frederick provide equal rights to his Lutheran and Calvinist subjects after regaining his lands; Frederick refused and set off to return to The Hague. He died of a fever along the way and was buried in an unmarked grave.Rupert had lost his father at the age of 13, and Gustavus' death at the Battle of Lützen in the same month deprived the family of a critical Protestant ally. With Frederick gone, King Charles proposed that the family move to England; Rupert's mother declined, but asked that Charles extend his protection to her remaining children instead.Teenage yearsRupert spent the beginning of his teenage years in England between the courts of The Hague and his uncle King Charles I, before being "} +{"doc_id":"doc_30","qid":"","text":"Passage 1:One Does Not Play with LoveOne Does Not Play with Love (German: Man spielt nicht mit der Liebe) is a 1926 silent German drama film directed by G.W.

Paolo often recalls his mother and his First Communion, with which he seems to live a totalizingexperience in the divine.In his friend Nicola's nightclub, Paolo meets the young Francesca, back from a relationship with an Indian guru, who has just had anabortion and is alone. Intimacy develops between the two: according to Paolo, this is the victory of the ultra sex and of the fusion that completes and exaltseverything, a fusion that Francesca assures him thanks to a special oriental technique, which allows the partner a state of permanent efficiency.They shutthemselves up in his beach house south of Rome where, after filling the fridge, they spend their time eating and making love, interrupted only by a quickincursion of Paolo's two sons visiting him and a small group of friends. But Francesca at a given moment thinks of leaving for other shores, while Paolounderstands that in order to \"communicate\" there is really only one alternative: either to love each other totally, or to tear apart that voluptuous female body, putit in the fridge and eat it by the sea in front of the sun. Thus, after having made animalistic love in the kennel of the beloved dog Giovanni, Paolo's insane anxietyis satisfied: he kills Francesca, cuts her up and keeps her in the refrigerator, eating her piece by piece.CastSergio Castellitto - PaoloFrancesca Dellera -FrancescaPhilippe LéotardFarid ChopelPetra ReinhardtGudrun GundelachNicoletta BorisClelia PiscitelliElena WiedermannSonia TopazioFulvio FalzaranoPinoToscaEleonora CecereMatteo RipaldiDaniele FralassiSalvatore EspositoPassage 7:Don ChaffeyDonald Chaffey (5 August 1917 – 13 November 1990) was a Britishfilm director, writer, producer, and art director.Chaffey's film career began as an art director in 1947, and his directorial debut was in 1953.

He was the director of the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem for 17months, resigning December 31, 2020. He was the director of the Toledo Museum of Art in Ohio from 2010 to 2019. He was the director of the Hood Museum ofArt from 2005 to 2010, and the National Gallery of Australia (Canberra) from 1997 to 2004.CareerBrian Kennedy currently lives and works in the United Statesafter leaving Australia in 2005 to direct the Hood Museum of Art at Dartmouth College. In October 2010 he became the ninth Director of the Toledo Museum ofArt. On 1 July 2019, he succeeded Dan Monroe as the executive director and CEO of the Peabody Essex Museum.Early life and career in IrelandKennedy was bornin Dublin and attended Clonkeen College. He received B.A. (1982), M.A. (1985) and PhD (1989) degrees from University College-Dublin, where he studied bothart history and history.He worked in the Irish Department of Education (1982), the European Commission, Brussels (1983), and in Ireland at the Chester BeattyLibrary (1983–85), Government Publications Office (1985–86), and Department of Finance (1986–89). He married Mary Fiona Carlin in 1988.He was AssistantDirector at the National Gallery of Ireland in Dublin from 1989 to 1997. He was Chair of the Irish Association of Art Historians from 1996 to 1997, and of theCouncil of Australian Art Museum Directors from 2001 to 2003. In September 1997 he became Director of the National Gallery of Australia.National Gallery ofAustralia (NGA)Kennedy expanded the traveling exhibitions and loans program throughout Australia, arranged for several major shows of Australian art abroad,increased the number of exhibitions at the museum itself and oversaw the development of an extensive multi-media site. Although he oversaw several years ofthe museum's highest ever annual visitation, he discontinued the emphasis of his predecessor, Betty Churcher, on showing \"blockbuster\" exhibitions.During hisdirectorship, the NGA gained government support for improving the building and significant private donations and corporate sponsorship. However, the initialdesign for the building proved controversial generating a public dispute with the original architect on moral rights grounds. As a result, the project was notdelivered during Dr Kennedy's tenure, with a significantly altered design completed some years later. Private funding supported two acquisitions of British art,including David Hockney's A Bigger Grand Canyon in 1999, and Lucian Freud's After Cézanne in 2001. Kennedy built on the established collections at the museumby acquiring the Holmgren-Spertus collection of Indonesian textiles; the Kenneth Tyler collection of editioned prints, screens, multiples and unique proofs; andthe Australian Print Workshop Archive. He was also notable for campaigning for the construction of a new \"front\" entrance to the Gallery, facing King EdwardTerrace, which was completed in 2010 (see reference to the building project above).Kennedy's cancellation of the \"Sensation exhibition\" (scheduled at the NGAfrom 2 June 2000 to 13 August 2000) was controversial, and seen by some as censorship. He claimed that the decision was due to the exhibition being \"too closeto the market\" implying that a national cultural institution cannot exhibit the private collection of a speculative art investor. However, there were other exhibitionsat the NGA during his tenure, which could have raised similar concerns. The exhibition featured the privately owned Young British Artists works belonging toCharles Saatchi and attracted large attendances in London and Brooklyn. Its most controversial work was Chris Ofili's The Holy Virgin Mary, a painting which usedelephant dung and was accused of being blasphemous. The then-mayor of New York, Rudolph Giuliani, campaigned against the exhibition, claiming it was\"Catholic-bashing\" and an \"aggressive, vicious, disgusting attack on religion.\" In November 1999, Kennedy cancelled the exhibition and stated that the events inNew York had \"obscured discussion of the artistic merit of the works of art\". He has said that it \"was the toughest decision of my professional life, so far.\"Kennedywas also repeatedly questioned on his management of a range of issues during the Australian Government's Senate Estimates process - particularly on the NGA'soccupational health and safety record and concerns about the NGA's twenty-year-old air-conditioning system. The air-conditioning was finally renovated in 2003.Kennedy announced in 2002 that he would not seek extension of his contract beyond 2004, accepting a seven-year term as had his two predecessors.He becamea joint Irish-Australian citizen in 2003.Toledo Museum of ArtThe Toledo Museum of Art is known for its exceptional collections of European and American paintingsand sculpture, glass, antiquities, artist books, Japanese prints and netsuke. The museum offers free admission and is recognized for its historical leadership in thefield of art education. During his tenure, Kennedy has focused the museum's art education efforts on visual literacy, which he defines as \"learning to read,understand and write visual language.\" Initiatives have included baby and toddler tours, specialized training for all staff, docents, volunteers and the launch of awebsite, www.vislit.org. In November 2014, the museum hosted the International Visual Literacy Association (IVLA) conference, the first Museum to do so.Kennedy has been a frequent speaker on the topic, including 2010 and 2013 TEDx talks on visual and sensory literacy.Kennedy has expressed an interest inexpanding the museum's collection of contemporary art and art by indigenous peoples. Works by Frank Stella, Sean Scully, Jaume Plensa, Ravinder Reddy andMary Sibande have been acquired. In addition, the museum has made major acquisitions of Old Master paintings by Frans Hals and Luca Giordano.During histenure the Toledo Museum of Art has announced the return of several objects from its collection due to claims the objects were stolen and/or illegally exportedprior being sold to the museum. In 2011 a Meissen sweetmeat stand was returned to Germany followed by an Etruscan Kalpis or water jug to Italy (2013), anIndian sculpture of Ganesha (2014) and an astrological compendium to Germany in 2015.Hood Museum of ArtKennedy became Director of the Hood Museum ofArt in July 2005. During his tenure, he implemented a series of large and small-scale exhibitions and oversaw the production of more than 20 publications to bringgreater public attention to the museum's remarkable collections of the arts of America, Europe, Africa, Papua New Guinea and the Polar regions. At 70,000objects, the Hood has one of the largest collections on any American college of university campus. The exhibition, Black Womanhood: Images, Icons, andIdeologies of the African Body, toured several US venues. Kennedy increased campus curricular use of works of art, with thousands of objects pulled from storagefor classes annually. Numerous acquisitions were made with the museum's generous endowments, and he curated several exhibitions: including Wenda Gu:Forest of Stone Steles: Retranslation and Rewriting Tang Dynasty Poetry, Sean Scully: The Art of the Stripe, and Frank Stella: IrregularPolygons.PublicationsKennedy has written or edited a number of books on art, including:Alfred Chester Beatty and Ireland 1950-1968: A study in cultural politics,Glendale Press (1988), ISBN 978-0-907606-49-9Dreams and responsibilities: The state and arts in independent Ireland, Arts Council of Ireland (1990), ISBN978-0-906627-32-7Jack B Yeats: Jack Butler Yeats, 1871-1957 (Lives of Irish Artists), Unipub (October 1991), ISBN 978-0-948524-24-0The Anatomy Lesson:Art and Medicine (with Davis Coakley), National Gallery of Ireland (January 1992), ISBN 978-0-903162-65-4Ireland: Art into History (with Raymond Gillespie),Roberts Rinehart Publishers (1994), ISBN 978-1-57098-005-3Irish Painting, Roberts Rinehart Publishers (November 1997), ISBN 978-1-86059-059-7SeanScully: The Art of the Stripe, Hood Museum of Art (October 2008), ISBN 978-0-944722-34-3Frank Stella: Irregular Polygons, 1965-1966, Hood Museum of Art(October 2010), ISBN 978-0-944722-39-8Honors and achievementsKennedy was awarded the Australian Centenary Medal in 2001 for service to AustralianSociety and its art.

Willkie appealed to many convention delegates as the Republican field's only interventionist: although the U.S. remained neutral prior to Pearl Harbor, he favored greater U.S. involvement in World War II to support Britain and other Allies. His Democratic opponent, incumbent President Franklin D. Roosevelt, won the 1940 election with about 55% of the popular vote and took the electoral college vote by a wide margin.Willkie was born in Elwood, Indiana, in 1892; both his parents were lawyers, and he also became one. He served in World War I but was not sent to France until the final days of the war, and saw no action. Willkie settled in Akron, Ohio, where he was initially employed by Firestone, but left for a law firm, becoming one of the leaders of the Akron Bar Association. Much of his work was representing electric utilities, and in 1929 Willkie accepted a job in New York City as counsel for Commonwealth & Southern Corporation (C&S), a utility holding company. He was rapidly promoted, and became corporate president in 1933. Roosevelt was sworn in as U.S. president soon after Willkie became head of C&S, and announced plans for a Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) that would supply power in competition with C&S. Between 1933 and 1939, Willkie fought against the TVA before Congress, in the courts, and before the public. He was ultimately unsuccessful, but sold C&S's property for a good price, and gained public esteem.A longtime Democratic activist, Willkie changed his party registration to Republican in late 1939. He did not run in the 1940 presidential primaries, but positioned himself as an acceptable choice for a deadlocked convention. He sought backing from uncommitted delegates, while his supporters—many youthful—enthusiastically promoted his candidacy. As German forces advanced through western Europe in 1940, many Republicans did not wish to nominate an isolationist like Robert A. Taft, or a non-interventionist like Thomas E. Dewey, and turned to Willkie, who was nominated on the sixth ballot. Willkie's support for aid to Britain removed it as a major factor in his race against Roosevelt, and Willkie also backed the president on a peacetime draft. Both men took more isolationist positions towards the end of the race. Roosevelt won an unprecedented third term, taking 38 of the 48 states.After the election, Willkie made two wartime foreign trips as Roosevelt's informal envoy, and as nominal leader of the Republican Party gave the president his full support. This angered many conservatives, especially as Willkie increasingly advocated liberal or internationalist causes. Willkie ran for the Republican nomination in 1944, but bowed out after a disastrous showing in the Wisconsin primary in April. He and Roosevelt discussed the possibility of forming a liberal political party after the war, but Willkie died in October 1944 before the idea could bear fruit. Willkie is remembered for giving Roosevelt vital political assistance in 1941, which helped the president to pass Lend-Lease to send supplies to the United Kingdom and other Allied nations.Youth, education and World War I serviceLewis Wendell Willkie was born in Elwood, Indiana, on February 18, 1892, the son of Henrietta (Trisch) and Herman Francis Willkie. Both of his parents were lawyers, his mother being one of the first women admitted to the Indiana bar. His father was born in Germany, son of Joseph Wilhelm Willecke or Willcke, born 1826. His mother was born in Indiana, to German parents; his grandparents were involved in the unsuccessful 1848 revolutions in Germany. The Trisches initially settled in Kansas Territory but, as they were abolitionists, moved to Indiana after the territory was opened to slavery in the mid-1850s. Willkie was the fourth of six children, all intelligent, and learned skills during the nightly debates around the dinner table that would later serve him well.Although given the first name Lewis, Willkie was known from childhood by his middle name. Herman Willkie, who had come from Prussia with his parents at age four, was intensely involved in progressive politics, and in 1896 took his sons to a torchlight procession for Democratic presidential candidate William Jennings Bryan, who had come to Elwood during his campaign. The Willkie boys had a sidewalk fight with Republican youths, and though the Willkies won their battle, Bryan lost his to William McKinley. When Bryan ran again in 1900, he stayed overnight at the Willkie home, and the Democratic candidate for president became the first political hero for the boy who would later seek that office.By the time Willkie reached age 14 and enrolled in Elwood High School, his parents were concerned about a lack of discipline and a slight stoop, and they sent him to Culver Military Academy for a summer in an attempt to correct both. Willkie began to shine as a student in high school, inspired by his English teacher; one classmate said that Philip \"Pat\" Bing \"fixed that boy up. He started preaching to Wendell to get to work and that kid went to town.\" Faced with a set of athletic brothers—Edward became an Olympic wrestler—Willkie joined the football team but had little success; he enjoyed the debate team more, but was several times disciplined for arguing with teachers. He was class president his final year, and president of the most prominent fraternity, but resigned from the latter when a sorority blackballed his girlfriend, Gwyneth Harry, as the daughter of immigrants.During Willkie's summer vacations from high school, he worked, often far from home. In 1909, aged 17, his journey took him from Aberdeen, South Dakota, where he rose from dishwasher to co-owner of a flophouse, to Yellowstone National Park, where he was fired after losing control of the horses drawing a tourist stagecoach. Back in Elwood, Herman Willkie was representing striking workers at the local tin plate factory, and in August journeyed with Wendell to Chicago in an attempt to get liberal attorney Clarence Darrow to take over the representation. They found Darrow willing, but at too high a price for the union to meet; Darrow told Wendell Willkie, \"there is nothing unethical in being adequately compensated for advocating a cause in which you deeply believe.\"After graduation from Elwood High in January 1910, Willkie enrolled at Indiana University in Bloomington. There, he became a student rebel, chewing tobacco, reading Marx, and petitioning the faculty to add a course on socialism to the curriculum. He also involved himself in campus politics, successfully managing the campaign of future Indiana governor Paul McNutt for student office, but when Willkie ran himself, he was defeated. He graduated in June 1913, and to earn money for law school, taught high school history in Coffeyville, Kansas, coaching debaters and several sports teams. In November 1914, he left his job there for one as a lab assistant in Puerto Rico arranged by his brother Fred. Wendell Willkie's commitment to social justice was deepened by the sight of workers suffering abuse there.Willkie enrolled at Indiana School of Law in late 1915. He was a top student, and graduated with high honors in 1916. At the commencement ceremony, with the state supreme court present, he gave a provocative speech criticizing his school. The faculty withheld his degree, but granted it after two days of intense debate. Willkie joined his parents' law firm, but volunteered for the United States Army on April 2, 1917, the day President Woodrow Wilson asked Congress for a declaration of war against Germany. An army clerk transposed his first two names; with Willkie unwilling to invest the time to have the bureaucracy correct it, he kept his name as Wendell Lewis Willkie. Commissioned as a first lieutenant, Willkie was sent for artillery training. He arrived in France as the war was ending and did not see combat. In January 1918 he married Edith Wilk, a librarian from Rushville, Indiana; the couple had one son, Philip. In France, Willkie was assigned to defending soldiers who had slipped away for time in Paris against orders. He was recommended for promotion to captain, but was discharged in early 1919 before the paperwork went through.Lawyer and executive (1919–1939)Akron attorney and activistDischarged from the army, Willkie returned to Elwood. He considered a run for Congress as a Democrat, but was advised that the district was so Republican "} +{"doc_id":"doc_34","qid":"","text":"Passage 1:Louis, Count of GravinaLouis of Durazzo (1324 – 22 July 1362) was Count of Gravina and Morrone.

Joanna was a member of the House ofAnjou-Durazzo.She reigned as Duchess of Durazzo from 1348-1368. She married twice; firstly to Louis of Navarre and then to Robert IV of Artois, Count ofEu.LifeJoanna's father died in 1348 and Joanna succeeded him, being the eldest surviving child. However, Joanna remained in Naples rather than going toDurazzo. It was here she was betrothed to her cousin Charles Martel, son of Queen Joan. Charles Martel was heir in Hungary due to a lack of male heirs. The boywas moved to Hungary, however the engagement was broken when the young boy died around 1348 in Hungary.In 1365 aged twenty one, Joanna married herfirst husband Louis of Navarre, who became Duke of Durazzo in right of his wife. He was the son of Joan II of Navarre. In 1368 Durazzo was captured by theAlbanian Topia dynasty under the leadership of warlord Karl Thopia. Joanna and her husband immediately began planning the reconquest of not only Durazzo, butall the lands of the former Angevin Kingdom of Albania, conquered by the Bulgarian Sratsimir dynasty in 1332. They were successful in rallying the support ofLouis' brother Charles II the Bad and Charles V King of France in this undertaking. In 1372, Louis brought over the Navarrese Company of mercenaries, who hadfought with him during the war in France, to assist them in taking Durazzo. Their ranks swelled considerably in 1375 with new recruits directly from Navarre.Many documents survive telling us of the complex nature of the military planning and engineering which was undertaken to ensure success. This they attained,taking the city in midsummer 1376. Louis died shortly after. Louis and Joanna had no children. Joanna never fully regained full control of Durazzo and by 1385the City was back in the hands of Karl Thopia.Around 1376 Joanna remarried to Robert IV of Artois, Count of Eu. This marriage was also childless. Robert was notCount of Eu for long, he and Joanna were not informed of his father's death in 1387. Joanna and Robert were staying at Castel dell'Ovo in Naples where they wereboth poisoned on July 20, 1387 on the orders of Joanna's sister Margaret, queen dowager and regent of Naples.Joanna is buried in San Lorenzo (Naples).Passage4:Agnes of PérigordAgnes of Périgord (died 1345) was Duchess consort of Durazzo, through her marriage to John of Gravina, Duke of Durazzo, who was also theruler of the Kingdom of Albania. Although Agnes was never styled as Queen consort, she became politically influential. Following the death of Robert, King ofNaples in 1343, she organised a marriage for her eldest son to Robert's granddaughter, who was second-in-line to the Neapolitan throne. Agnes's ambition was tobring her family closer to the line of succession.Early life and marriageAgnes was daughter of Helie VII, Count of Périgord and his second wife, Brunissende ofFoix. Amongst her siblings was Hélie de Talleyrand-Périgord, a Cardinal who would become a major figure in the Avignon Papacy.The marriage between Agnesand John was likely arranged by King Robert of Sicily due to his favour for the Avignon Papacy. The King had anti-Ghibelline ambitions in Northern Italy anddesired support from the Papacy and the French in achieving them. Agnes's family had marital ties to Pope John XXII as her sister Rosemburge was married toJacques de Lavie, the Pope's grand-nephew. Acting upon this during his visit to Avignon, Robert arranged for his brother to marry Jacques's sister-in-law.Themarriage contract is dated 14 November 1321. The couple were married shy of fourteen years and had three sons:Charles, Duke of Durazzo (1323–1348)Louis ofDurazzo (1324–1362), Count of GravinaRobert of Durazzo (1326–1356)Agnes became, through her husband's brotherly quarrel with Philip I, Prince of Taranto,duchess of Durazzo. Her husband died in 1335 and he was succeeded by their son, Charles.Political intriguesAny plans that the Durazzo family may have had ofmarrying Joanna, heiress to Robert's throne, were thwarted in 1333 when Robert arranged for her to marry Andrew of Hungary. However, in his final will andtestament, Robert instructed that if Joanna were to die without issue, the Neapolitan throne should pass to her sister, Maria, who was unmarried. Whilst themonarch was spoken for, the heir was not. Agnes did her best to make her family appear favourable towards the royals, in the hope that Robert would consider aDurazzo match for Maria. In 1338, she supported her son's position at the head of Robert's armada to conquer Sicily. However, the campaign failed due to theoutbreak of typhus. Agnes used her own position at court to her advantage, making friendly overtures towards Queen Sancha and the young princesses. This toodid not result in any marriage plans.King Robert died in January 1343. Agnes's tactics during his final years had proven unsuccessful therefore, she took mattersinto her own hands. Immediately after Robert's death, she orchestrated the marriage between her eldest son and Maria. The timing of this marriage was crucialas Joanna strongly favoured the Taranto faction, having an affair with Prince Robert, son of Catherine, and Maria was promised in marriage to one of Andrew'sbrothers. The two matters would only have politically isolated the Durazzo clan and thwarted their chances of reaching the throne.Agnes used her connection toher influential brother, Cardinal Talleyrand, to put aside the Hungarian match for Maria and obtain the Pope's permission for the ambitious marriage. Not relyingon family feeling alone, Agnes bribed her brother with 22,000 florins left over from her dowry in order to ensure absolute support. Building up a friendship withQueen Sancha also appears to have paid off as the dowager queen supported the match. On the other hand, the Taranto clan were horrified when they discoveredAgnes's scheme and used their influence over Joanna to put an end to it. Catherine instructed the young queen to oppose the match, hoping that the lack of royalfavour would act as a deterrent.Much to the dismay of the Tarantos, their control over Joanna was not enough to prevent Agnes, who responded by abductingMaria one night in April 1343 and marrying her off to Charles. The marriage was a great insult to Joanna and Andrew as their royal authority was defied and thelatter's family lost out on their chance for total control of the succession. The Tarantos were ready for armed warfare against their Durazzo cousins, Naples stoodon the brink of civil war. To remedy the matter, the Pope wrote letters to both Joanna and Agnes, confirming the validity of the papal dispensation, asking them"} +{"doc_id":"doc_35","qid":"","text":"Passage 1:Beatrice of Bourbon, Queen of BohemiaBeatrice of Bourbon (1320 – 23 December 1383) was a French noblewoman. A member of the House of Bourbon, she was by marriage Queen of Bohemia and Countess of Luxembourg.She was the youngest daughter of Louis I, Duke of Bourbon, and Mary of Avesnes.LifeMarriageOn 28 September 1330, Queen Elisabeth of Bohemia, wife of King John of Bohemia, died:\"The news was that the King, distraught for the loss of his wife manifested his feelings using mourning clothes, after all, they were married for twenty years, and yet remained completely himself with a brief time, this was in Bohemia, the other side used to be mostly in their county or elsewhere, where he discussed the matter.\"Despite the fact that John and Elisabeth became estranged during the last years of their marriage, the king remained a widower for the next four years. The French King Philip VI wanted to tie John more closely with France, and he suggested to the Bohemian king a second marriage. The proposed bride was Beatrice, youngest daughter of the Duke of Bourbon and member of a cadet branch of the House of Capet. Beatrice was already betrothed, however, to Philip, the second son of Philip I, Prince of Taranto, as of 29 May 1321. The engagement was broken soon after the marriage negotiations with Bohemia started.The marriage of King John of Bohemia and Beatrice of Bourbon was solemnized in the Château de Vincennes in December 1334, at which time she was fourteen years old. But because the two were related in a prohibited degree (they were second cousins through their common descent from Henry V, Count of Luxembourg, and his wife Margaret of Bar), Pope Benedict XII had to give dispensation for the marriage, which was granted in Avignon on 9 January 1335 at the request of Philip VI.The marriage contract stipulated that if a son was born from the marriage, the County of Luxembourg (King John's paternal heritage), as well as lands belonging to it, would go to him. King John's sons from his first marriage, Charles and John Henry, were not informed of the contents of the marriage contract, but both princes were compelled to accept it along with the knights and citizens of Luxembourg in August 1335.Life in BohemiaBeatrice arrived in Bohemia on 2 January 1336:\"...our father came to Bohemia and brought him a wife, named Beatrix, daughter of the Duke of Bourbon and relative of the King of the Frenchs...\"In the Bohemian court, Beatrice took care of the wife of her oldest stepson Charles, Blanche of Valois. Both women could easily communicate in French. The Queen soon felt ill-at-ease in Prague, where she was always compared unfavorably with the Margravine of Moravia (Blanche's title as wife of the Bohemian heir). Also, the Czech people were offended by her coldness, insolence and aversion to learning their language.The new Queen of Bohemia and Countess of Luxembourg brought with her an annual income of 4,000 livres extracted from her father's County of Clermont. On 25 February 1337, Beatrice gave birth in Prague to her only child, a son named Wenceslaus after the holy patron of the Přemyslid dynasty; probably calling her son with this name either the queen or her husband tried to gain the favor of the Bohemians. There is some indirect evidence that this was the first caesarean section that was survived by both the mother and child. However, the relationship between Beatrice and her new subjects remained estranged: her coronation as Queen of Bohemia in St. Vitus Cathedral three months later, on 18 May, was an event of spectacular indifference from the citizens of Prague.Shortly after her coronation, in June 1337, Beatrice left Bohemia leaving her son behind, and went to live in Luxembourg. After this, she rarely visited the Bohemian Kingdom.Later YearsOn 26 August 1346 King John was killed in the Battle of Crécy and Beatrice ceased to be queen consort. Her stepson, now King Charles of Bohemia, confirmed the provisions of her marriage contract. Beatrice, now Dowager Queen of Bohemia, received in perpetuity lands in the County of Hainaut, the rent of 4,000 livres and the towns of Arlon, Marville and Damvillers (where she settled her residence) as her widow's estate. These revenues were used not only for their own needs, but also for the education of her son. King Charles also left her all the movable property and income from the mines in Kutná Hora. In addition, when her father Duke Louis I of Bourbon died in 1342, she received the sum of 1,000 livres, which was secured from the town of Creil.Around 1347, Beatrice married for a second time to Eudes II, Lord of Grancey, (then a widower) at her state of Damvillers. Despite her new marriage, she retained the title of Queen of Bohemia. The couple had no children. Soon after her second marriage, she arranged the betrothal of her son Wenceslaus with the widowed Joanna, Duchess of Brabant, daughter and heiress of John III, Duke of Brabant, who was fifteen years older than he was. The marriage took place in Damvillers four years later, on 17 May 1351.Despite all the grants of land and money given to Beatrice, the Bohemian king delayed the investiture of his young half-brother Wenceslaus as Count of Luxembourg. In fact, he held on to the title until 1353, when Wenceslaus finally obtained sovereignty over the County. One year later (13 March 1354) the County was elevated to the rank of a Duchy.Beatrice died on 27 December 1383, having outlived her son (for only sixteen days) and all her stepchildren. She was buried in the now-demolished church of the Couvent des Jacobins in Paris - her effigy is now in the Basilica of St Denis. Her second husband survived her by six years.Passage 2:Obata ToramoriObata Toramori (\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000, 1491 – July 14, 1561) was Japanese samurai warrior of the Sengoku Period.

This marriage made the constable not only Charles's father-in-law but also his natural defender. The Orléans party, left without a leader by Louis's death, thus became the Armagnac party, the name it held up to the treaty of Arras in 1435.Following the French defeat at the Battle of Agincourt on 25 October 1415, Charles was taken prisoner by the English. Bonne had not borne any children prior to his imprisonment. She died sometime between 1430 and 1435 while her husband was still in captivity.In literature and artBonne appears in the critically acclaimed historical novel Het woud der verwachting (1949) by Hella Haasse, (translated into English in 1989 under the title \"In a Dark Wood Wandering\"). The novel portrays the life of Bonne's husband Charles. Charles and Bonne's marriage at the Chateau de Dourdan is thought to be depicted in the elaborate illuminated manuscript entitled Très Riches Heures du duc de Berry (Very Rich Hours of the Duke of Berry) in the illustration for April.AncestryPassage 4:Mathilde of BourbonMathilde of Bourbon (French: Mahaut de Bourbon; c. 1165/69 – 18 June 1228) was a French noblewoman who was the ruling Lady of Bourbon from 1171 until her death.LifeMathilde was the only child of Archambault of Bourbon and his wife Alix (or Adelaide) of Burgundy (daughter of Odo II). She was born in the second half of the 1160s.Her father, the heir apparent of Bourbon, died in 1169, without ever inheriting the lordship. Her grandfather, Archambault VII, died in 1171. Mathilde, as his only surviving grandchild, succeeded him.Before 1183, she married Gaucher IV of Vienne, Lord of Salins. After he returned from the Third Crusade, they frequently quarreled. In the end, he became violent and had her locked up.: p. 117 She fled to her grandmother's estate in Champagne: p. 217 During her escape, she allegedly also used violence,: p. 117 and for this she was excommunicated by Archbishop Henri de Sully of Bourges. After she arrived in Champagne, she asked Pope Celestine III for a divorce from her husband, arguing that Gaucher IV and she were close relatives and that the marriage therefore had been inadmissible. The Pope tasked the bishops of Autun and Troyes and the abbot of Monthiers-en-Argonne with investigating her claim. These men found that Mathilde and her husband were third cousins, as they were both great-great-grandchildren of William II, Count of Burgundy, and that, therefore, her claim that they were too closely related was justified. The pope granted the divorce, and also lifted the excommunication.In September 1196, only a few months after her divorce, she married Lord Guy II of Dampierre. Thus, the Bourbonnais fell to the House of Dampierre. This marriage lasted 20 years: he died in 1216.Mathilde died twelve years after her husband. After her death, Margaret, her daughter from her first marriage claimed the Lordship of Bourbon. Guy II had initially recognized Margaret as heir of Bourbon, however, he later claimed the Lordship for his oldest son, Archambault VIII. In the end, Archambault prevailed.Marriages and issueMathilde married Gaucher IV of Vienne, Lord of Salins.

He was the director of the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem for 17 months, resigning December 31,2020. He was the director of the Toledo Museum of Art in Ohio from 2010 to 2019. He was the director of the Hood Museum of Art from 2005 to 2010, and theNational Gallery of Australia (Canberra) from 1997 to 2004.CareerBrian Kennedy currently lives and works in the United States after leaving Australia in 2005 todirect the Hood Museum of Art at Dartmouth College. In October 2010 he became the ninth Director of the Toledo Museum of Art. On 1 July 2019, he succeededDan Monroe as the executive director and CEO of the Peabody Essex Museum.Early life and career in IrelandKennedy was born in Dublin and attended ClonkeenCollege. He received B.A. (1982), M.A. (1985) and PhD (1989) degrees from University College-Dublin, where he studied both art history and history.He workedin the Irish Department of Education (1982), the European Commission, Brussels (1983), and in Ireland at the Chester Beatty Library (1983–85), GovernmentPublications Office (1985–86), and Department of Finance (1986–89). He married Mary Fiona Carlin in 1988.He was Assistant Director at the National Gallery ofIreland in Dublin from 1989 to 1997. He was Chair of the Irish Association of Art Historians from 1996 to 1997, and of the Council of Australian Art MuseumDirectors from 2001 to 2003. In September 1997 he became Director of the National Gallery of Australia.National Gallery of Australia (NGA)Kennedy expandedthe traveling exhibitions and loans program throughout Australia, arranged for several major shows of Australian art abroad, increased the number of exhibitionsat the museum itself and oversaw the development of an extensive multi-media site. Although he oversaw several years of the museum's highest ever annualvisitation, he discontinued the emphasis of his predecessor, Betty Churcher, on showing \"blockbuster\" exhibitions.During his directorship, the NGA gainedgovernment support for improving the building and significant private donations and corporate sponsorship. However, the initial design for the building provedcontroversial generating a public dispute with the original architect on moral rights grounds. As a result, the project was not delivered during Dr Kennedy'stenure, with a significantly altered design completed some years later. Private funding supported two acquisitions of British art, including David Hockney's ABigger Grand Canyon in 1999, and Lucian Freud's After Cézanne in 2001. Kennedy built on the established collections at the museum by acquiring theHolmgren-Spertus collection of Indonesian textiles; the Kenneth Tyler collection of editioned prints, screens, multiples and unique proofs; and the Australian PrintWorkshop Archive. He was also notable for campaigning for the construction of a new \"front\" entrance to the Gallery, facing King Edward Terrace, which wascompleted in 2010 (see reference to the building project above).Kennedy's cancellation of the \"Sensation exhibition\" (scheduled at the NGA from 2 June 2000 to13 August 2000) was controversial, and seen by some as censorship. He claimed that the decision was due to the exhibition being \"too close to the market\"implying that a national cultural institution cannot exhibit the private collection of a speculative art investor. However, there were other exhibitions at the NGAduring his tenure, which could have raised similar concerns. The exhibition featured the privately owned Young British Artists works belonging to Charles Saatchiand attracted large attendances in London and Brooklyn. Its most controversial work was Chris Ofili's The Holy Virgin Mary, a painting which used elephant dungand was accused of being blasphemous. The then-mayor of New York, Rudolph Giuliani, campaigned against the exhibition, claiming it was \"Catholic-bashing\" andan \"aggressive, vicious, disgusting attack on religion.\" In November 1999, Kennedy cancelled the exhibition and stated that the events in New York had \"obscureddiscussion of the artistic merit of the works of art\". He has said that it \"was the toughest decision of my professional life, so far.\"Kennedy was also repeatedlyquestioned on his management of a range of issues during the Australian Government's Senate Estimates process - particularly on the NGA's occupational healthand safety record and concerns about the NGA's twenty-year-old air-conditioning system. The air-conditioning was finally renovated in 2003.

The museum offers free admission and is recognized for its historical leadership in the fieldof art education. During his tenure, Kennedy has focused the museum's art education efforts on visual literacy, which he defines as \"learning to read, understandand write visual language.\" Initiatives have included baby and toddler tours, specialized training for all staff, docents, volunteers and the launch of a website,www.vislit.org. In November 2014, the museum hosted the International Visual Literacy Association (IVLA) conference, the first Museum to do so. Kennedy hasbeen a frequent speaker on the topic, including 2010 and 2013 TEDx talks on visual and sensory literacy.Kennedy has expressed an interest in expanding themuseum's collection of contemporary art and art by indigenous peoples. Works by Frank Stella, Sean Scully, Jaume Plensa, Ravinder Reddy and Mary Sibandehave been acquired. In addition, the museum has made major acquisitions of Old Master paintings by Frans Hals and Luca Giordano.During his tenure the ToledoMuseum of Art has announced the return of several objects from its collection due to claims the objects were stolen and/or illegally exported prior being sold tothe museum. In 2011 a Meissen sweetmeat stand was returned to Germany followed by an Etruscan Kalpis or water jug to Italy (2013), an Indian sculpture ofGanesha (2014) and an astrological compendium to Germany in 2015.Hood Museum of ArtKennedy became Director of the Hood Museum of Art in July 2005.During his tenure, he implemented a series of large and small-scale exhibitions and oversaw the production of more than 20 publications to bring greater publicattention to the museum's remarkable collections of the arts of America, Europe, Africa, Papua New Guinea and the Polar regions. At 70,000 objects, the Hoodhas one of the largest collections on any American college of university campus. The exhibition, Black Womanhood: Images, Icons, and Ideologies of the AfricanBody, toured several US venues.

It is part of the (Sapowednik) Belogorye Nature Reserve.It lies onthe high right side of the Worskla river, between the Worskla and the Gotnja rivers. It covers an area of 1,038 hectares (2,560 acres). Geographically the areabelongs to the southern part of the forest-steppe zone. The nature reserve is bordered to the north-west by the village of Krasny Kutok, to the southeast byBorisovka, and in the north and the south and west by the Worsklatal. On the left bank of the Vorskla, is the village of Dubino (Landsgemeinde Belenkoje). Theterritory of the forest itself is part of the rural community Kryukovo.GeographyThe western, northwestern and southern edges form the river terraces and slopesof Woskla and Loknjatal Rivers. The highest point in the forest at 217 metres (712 ft) is located in the northeastern part of the forest. The lowest point (137metres (449 ft)) is located in Worsklatal. Through the forest run numerous small gullies that are called in this region \"Jar\".In the forest there are no springs andwatercourses although the forest is quite wet at the beginning of spring, after the snow melts, flowing rivulets at the bottom of canyons. The rivers Vorskla,Gotnja and Loknja flow along the forest edge for a distance of 10 to 900 metres (33 to 2,953 ft).On the territory of the forest there is no natural pond. Only in theprotection zone of the nature reserve, in the Worsklatalaue, there are small backwaters. In the 20th century, ponds were built in the Klosterrunse whose damsbroke through snow meltwater. Only a pond remained at the top of the gully.SoilsThe soils of the forest at the Vorskla developed on different parent materials,especially on the loam, which is found in the eastern half of the forest. In the northwestern part of the forest, old alluvium sands play a role. They are distributedon the river terraces of Gotnja and Loknja. At the southern and south-eastern edge of the forest an oligozänischer sandy loam is common parent rock. In someplaces in the southern part of the forest, a rust-colored clay comes out. The oligozänische sandy loam and the rust-colored clay are the starting materials of soilformation, where erosion has removed the loess. Under the oligozänischen clay are rocks from the Cretaceous, which do not appear on the surface in the territoryof the forest.Here 20 different soil types are distinguished. They differ on the degree of podsolisation and the humus content. All floors of the Forest on theVorskla are based on the Russian soil classification from 1977 about the types of gray forest soils. According to the USDA soil classification they belong to the Alfisols, after the German soil classification if they were classified as Luvisols.HistoryUntil the 17th century, the Worskla forest was a part of an undivided oak forestthat stretched along the high right bank of the Vorskla River. Forest was used as a natural barrier against depredations of the Tartars. Therefore, logging of thewoods was strictly forbidden. At the end of the 17th century, however, the Tartar threat had diminished.In the Early 18th century the forest was protected frombeing cut down by regulations of Peter I. In 1701, the deforestation along the rivers was banned, then in 1703, the ban was extended to the small rivers. Theedict included a ban on grazing and oaks, pines, maples and elms with trunk thicknesses of more than 54 centimetres (21 in) were excluded from felling.In 1705the forest was owned by Count Boris Sheremetev who created a conservation area and hunting reserve. In 1714 Count Sheremetev founded a nunnery inBorisovka on the edge of the forest, today it is a nature reserve.In the 1880s and 1890s the first major deforestation in the fourth section of the forest and in thenorthern part of the tenth section the deforestation continued into the 20th century.After the October Revolution, the forest on the Vorskla was in danger withfelling beginning in 1917, with grazing and vegetable gardens being introduced. Larger native animals almost disappeared.It fell to the entomologist Malyshev tobegin a movement to save the forest. He knew the forest at the Vorskla from the time before the revolution when as a student he undertook entomologicalresearch there. In 1919 he wrote appeals to various authorities. He also appeared in the People's Assembly of the residents of Borisovka and made propagandawork for forest conservation in schools and village libraries. His efforts were successful, and after the establishment of Zoopsychologischen Station (in 1922) theforest was made a nature reserve in 1924. Malyshev organized the protection of forests. In the nature reserve began scientific research, the nature reserve, theNatural History Museum was founded. In Russian and Germany scientific journals first article on the forest at the Vorskla were published. However, Malyshev wassubject to a political witch-hunt under Joseph Stalin and he was dismissed from his role at the Nature Reserve and in 1934, Malyshev was transported toLeningrad.In 1934 the forest was transferred to control of Leningrad University. During World War II, the forest fell under German occupation who felled tens ofthousands of trees. During the Battle of Kursk, trenches were laid out in the forest, causing soil erosion, which can be seen to this day.In 1994, the NatureReserve of the University of St. Petersburg was handed over to the Ministry of Natural Resources. Today an area of 160 hectares (400 acres), is the only forestwith 300-year-old oak trees to have survived in the European part of the former Soviet Union.GalleryPassage 2:Pearl AirwaysPearl Airways or Pearl AirwaysCompagne Haitienne was an airline based in Haiti.Passage 3:Olavina UdugoreOlavina Udugore is a 1987 Indian Kannada-language film directed, written andco-produced by D.

Govan became closely involved with the museum, serving as actingcurator as an undergraduate. After receiving his B.A. from Williams in 1985, Govan began an MFA in fine arts from the University of California, SanDiego.CareerAs a twenty-five year old graduate student, Govan was recruited by his former mentor at Williams, Thomas Krens, who in 1988 had been appointeddirector of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation. Govan served as deputy director of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum under Krens from 1988 to 1994, aperiod that culminated in the construction and opening of the Frank Gehry designed Guggenheim branch in Bilbao, Spain. Govan supervised the reinstallation ofthe museum's permanent collection galleries after its extensive renovation.Dia Art FoundationFrom 1994 to 2006, Govan was president and director of Dia ArtFoundation in New York City. There, he spearheaded the conversion of a Nabisco box factory into the 300,000 square foot Dia:Beacon in New York's HudsonValley, which houses Dia's collection of art from the 1960s to the present. Built in a former Nabisco box factory, the critically acclaimed museum has beencredited with catalyzing a cultural and economic revival within the formerly factory-based city of Beacon. Dia's collection nearly doubled in size during Govan'stenure, but he also came under criticism for \"needlessly and permanently\" closing Dia's West 22nd Street building. During his time at Dia, Govan also workedclosely with artists James Turrell and Michael Heizer, becoming an ardent supporter of Roden Crater and City, the artists' respective site-specific land art projectsunder construction in the American southwest. Govan successfully lobbied Washington to have the 704,000 acres in central Nevada surrounding City declared anational monument in 2015.LACMAIn February 2006, a search committee composed of eleven LACMA trustees, led by the late Nancy M. Daly, recruited Govan torun the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Govan has stated that he was drawn to the role not only because of LACMA's geographical distance from its Europeanand east coast peers, but also because of the museum's relative youth, having been established in 1961. \"I felt that because of this newness I had theopportunity to reconsider the museum,\" Govan has written, \"[and] Los Angeles is a good place to do that.\"Govan has been widely regarded for transformingLACMA into both a local and international landmark. Since Govan's arrival, LACMA has acquired by donation or purchase over 27,000 works for the permanentcollection, and the museum's gallery space has almost doubled thanks to the addition of two new buildings designed by Renzo Piano, the Broad Contemporary ArtMuseum (BCAM) and the Lynda and Stewart Resnick Pavilion. LACMA's annual attendance has grown from 600,000 to nearly 1.6 million in 2016.ArtistcollaborationsSince his arrival, Govan has commissioned exhibition scenography and gallery designs in collaboration with artists. In 2006, for example, Govaninvited LA artist John Baldessari to design an upcoming exhibition about the Belgian surrealist René Magritte, resulting in a theatrical show that reflected thetwisted perspective of the latter's topsy-turvy world. Baldessari has also designed LACMA's logo. Since then, Govan has also commissioned Cuban-American artistJorge Pardo to design LACMA's Art of the Ancient Americas gallery, described in the Los Angeles Times as a \"gritty cavern deep inside the earth ... crossed with ahigh-style urban lounge.\"Govan has also commissioned several large-scale public artworks for LACMA's campus from contemporary California artists. Theseinclude Chris Burden's Urban Light (2008), a series of 202 vintage street lamps from different neighborhoods in Los Angeles, arranged in front of the entrancepavilion, Barbara Kruger's Untitled (Shafted) (2008), Robert Irwin's Primal Palm Garden (2010), and Michael Heizer's Levitated Mass, a 340-ton bouldertransported 100 miles from the Jurupa Valley to LACMA, a widely publicized journey that culminated with a large celebration on Wilshire Boulevard. Thanks in partto the popularity of these public artworks, LACMA was ranked the fourth most instagrammed museum in the world in 2016.In his first three full years, themuseum raised $251 million—about $100 million more than it collected during the three years before he arrived. In 2010, it was announced that Govan will steerLACMA for at least six more years. In a letter dated February 24, 2013, Govan, along with the LACMA board's co-chairmen Terry Semel and Andrew Gordon,proposed a merger with the financially troubled Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles and a plan to raise $100 million for the combined museum.ZumthorProjectGovan's latest project is an ambitious building project, the replacement of four of the campus's aging buildings with a single new state of the art gallerybuilding designed by architect Peter Zumthor. As of January 2017, he has raised about $300 million in commitments. Construction is expected to begin in 2018,and the new building will open in 2023, to coincide with the opening of the new D Line metro stop on Wilshire Boulevard. The project also envisages dissolving allexisting curatorial departments and departmental collections. Some commentators have been highly critical of Govan's plans. Joseph Giovannini, recallingGovan's technically unrealizable onetime plan to hang Jeff Koons' Train sculpture from the facade of the Ahmanson Gallery, has accused Govan of \"driving theinstitution over a cliff into an equivalent mid-air wreck of its own\". Describing the collection merging proposal as the creation of a \"giant raffle bowl of some130,000 objects\", Giovannini also points out that the Zumthor building will contain 33% less gallery space than the galleries it will replace, and that the linearfootage of wall space available for displays will decrease by about 7,500 ft, or 1.5 miles. Faced with losing a building named in its honor, and anticipating that itsacquisitions could no longer be displayed, the Ahmanson Foundation withdrew its support.On the merging of the separate curatorial divisions to create anon-departmental art museum, Christopher Knight has pointed out that \"no other museum of LACMA's size and complexity does it\" that way, and characterizedthe museum's 2019 \"To Rome and Back\" exhibition, the first to take place under the new scheme, as \"bland and ineffectual\" and an \"unsuccessful sample of"} +{"doc_id":"doc_41","qid":"","text":"Passage 1:Jesse E.

His birth year was shown here as 1730. The Scotland's People database has no record of this year of birth for a James Armour. Wikitree and several other data sources have his birth date as 10th/24th January 1731. The Scotland's People database has this record but showing his baptism on 24 January 1731. His birth on the original Old Parish Record is shown as 15 January 1731 to John Armour and Margrat(sic) Picken in Kilmarnock. James named his first son John which would normally be after James's father i.e. John. The chances of there being two James's born on exactly the same date exactly one year apart appear very remote and the naming of the first child seems to validate the conclusion that James Armour was born in 1731 and not 1730.Life and backgroundAt Mauchline on 7 December 1761 he married Mary Smith, the daughter of stonemason Adam Smith. James died on 30 September 1798 and was buried in the family lair in Mauchline churchyard. His wife died in 1805 and was buried with her husband.FamilyJames' eleven offspring with Mary, were, in birth order, John, Jean, James, Robert, Adam, Helen, Mary, Robert (2nd), Mary (2nd), Janet and Robert (3rd). Three siblings died in childhood. Dr John Armour was the eldest son who was born in Mauchline on 14 November 1762 and died in 1834. He had his practice in Kincardine-on-Forth where he died and was buried. He had two children, Janet and John, and married Janet Coventry on 10 March 1787. James and Mary's son James was born in Mauchline on 26 April 1767, married Betthaia Walker in 1794, Martha in 1818 and Janet in 1822. Their offspring were James and Betthaia. Adam Armour was named after Adam Smith, James Armour's father-in-law.The Armours' single-storey house stood in Cowgate, separated from John Dove's Whitefoord Arms by a narrow lane. Jean's bedroom window looked on to a window of the inn, thereby allowing Burns to converse with her from the public house itself. The Whitefoord Inn was often frequented by Burns and was also the meeting place of the so-called Court of Equity and linked to a significant incident in the life of Jean's brother Adam regarding the mistreatment of Agnes Wilson.Occupation and social standingJames was a master mason and contractor rather than an architect, regardless of Burns' attempts to describe him as one. He is known to have carried out contract work at Dumfries House near Cumnock and tradition links him to the building of Howford Bridge on the River Ayr, Greenan Bridge on the River Doon; Skeldon House, Dalrymple; and several other bridges in Ayrshire. Both the Armours and his wife's family had been stone-masons for several generations. William Burnes, Robert Burns' cousin, was apprenticed to James Armour.James was an adherent of the 'Auld Licht' style of religion and rented at 10/8 per year one of the most expensive pews in Mauchline church. James was rigid and austere, apparently living an exemplary life. Robert Burns-Begg, Burns' great-nephew, states that in contrast to her husband, Mary Armour was \"Partaken somewhat of the gay and frivolous.\".William 'Willie' Patrick, a source of many anecdotes about Robert and his family, stated about James that \"he was only a bit mason body, wha used to snuff a guid deal and gae afen tak a bit dram!\" He went on to say regarding James' attitude to Robert Burns that \"The thing was, he hated him, and would raither hae seen the Deil himsel comin to the hoose to coort his dochter than him! He cu'dna bear the sicht o'm, and that was the way he did it!\".Association with Robert BurnsJames had disapproved of Burns's courtship of Jean, being aware of his affair with Elizabeth Paton, his 'New Licht' leanings and his poor financial situation. When informed in March 1786 by his distraught wife that Jean was pregnant he fainted and upon recovering consciousness and being given a strong cordial drink he enquired who the father was, fainting again when he was told that it was Robert Burns. The couple persuaded Jean to travel to Paisley and lodge with their relative Andrew Purdie, husband of her aunt Elizabeth Smith. Robert Wilson lived in Paisley, a possible suitor who had shown a romantic interest in Jean previously, appears to have been only part of the reason for this action, for on 8 April Mary Armour had vehemently denied to James Lamie, a member of the Kirk Session, that Jean was pregnant.Robert Burns produced a paper, probably a record of their \" Marriage by Declaration\" possibly witnessed by James Smith. This document, no longer extant, was defaced under James Armour's direction, probably by the lawyer Robert Aitken, with the names of both Robert and Jean being cut out. This act did not in fact effect its legality. Robert wrote that James Armour's actions had \"...cut my very veins\", a feeling enhanced by Jean having handed over \"the unlucky paper\" and had agreed to go to Paisley.James Armour in the meantime forced his daughter to sign a complaint and a warrant \"in meditatione fugae\" against Robert was issued to prevent his abandoning her. Burns fled to Old Rome Forest near Gatehead in South Ayrshire, where Jean Brown, Agnes Broun's half-sister and therefore an aunt of Burns, lived with her husband, James Allan.Twins were born to Jean and Robert on 3 September 1786, named after their parents as was the kirk's protocol for children born out of wedlock. Robert, notified of the birth by Adam Armour, that Sunday went to the Armour's house with a gift of tea, sugar and a Guinea that proved most acceptable. Robert only returned from Edinburgh in the summer of 1787 to find that he was, thanks to his newly found fame as a published poet, actively welcomed into the family.Jean however fell pregnant out of official wedlock once more, with the result that she felt forced to leave the Armour's home due to her father's anger. She was taken in by Willie Muir and his wife at Tarbolton Mill. It had previously been agreed that baby Jean would stay with her mother and baby Robert would join Bess at Mossgiel. The second set of twins did not live long and are buried, unnamed, in the Armour lair in Mauchline churchyard. Robert was in Edinburgh and did not arrive back until 23 February 1788; he then arranged accommodation for Jean.Whilst at the Brow Well Robert Burns wrote two of his last letters to his father-in-law asking that Mary Armour, who was away visiting relatives in Fife, be sent to Dumfries to help care for Jean who was heavily pregnant. On 10 July 1796 his last letter was signed \" Your most affectionate son. R. Burns.\"Upon the death of Robert Burnes his nephew Robert arranged for his cousin William to become a mason or building worker, working with James Armour, Burns' father-in-law.The Inveraray marble Punch BowlOf the many surviving Robert Burns artefacts few have such distinguished provenance as the punch bowl that was a nuptial gift in 1788 from James Armour to his daughter Jean and her new husband Robert Burns. As a stone-mason James had carved it himself (22cm x 14cm ) from dark green Inveraray marble and after residing at their various homes, Jean in 1801 presented it to her husband's great friend and Burns family benefactor Alexander Cunningham whilst she was on a visit to Edinburgh and staying with George Thomson. He had it mounted with a silver base and a rim, engraved upon which are the words “Ye whom social pleasure charms .. Come to my Bowl! Come to my arms, My FRIENDS, "} +{"doc_id":"doc_43","qid":"","text":"Passage 1:TjuyuThuya (sometimes transliterated as Touiyou, Thuiu, Tuya, Tjuyu or Thuyu) was an Egyptian noblewoman and the mother of queen Tiye, and the wife of Yuya. She is the grandmother of Akhenaten, and great grandmother of Tutankhamun.BiographyThuya is believed to be a descendant of Queen Ahmose-Nefertari, and she held many official roles in the interwoven religion and government of ancient Egypt. She was involved in many religious cults; her titles included 'Singer of Hathor' and 'Chief of the Entertainers' of both Amun and Min. She also held the influential offices of Superintendent of the Harem of the god Min of Akhmin and of Amun of Thebes. She married Yuya, a powerful ancient Egyptian courtier of the Eighteenth Dynasty. She is believed to have died in around 1375 BC in her early to mid 50s.ChildrenYuya and Thuya had a daughter named Tiye, who became the Great Royal Wife of Pharaoh Amenhotep III. The great royal wife was the highest Egyptian religious position, serving alongside of the pharaoh in official ceremonies and rituals.Yuya and Thuya also had a son named Anen, who carried the titles Chancellor of Lower Egypt, Second Prophet of Amun, sm-priest of Heliopolis and Divine Father.They also may have been the parents of Ay, an Egyptian courtier active during the reign of pharaoh Akhenaten who became pharaoh after the death of Tutankhamun. However, there is no conclusive evidence regarding the kinship of Yuya and Ay, although certainly, both men came from Akhmim.TombThuya was interred in tomb KV46 in the Valley of the Kings, together with her husband Yuya, where their largely intact burial was found in 1905. It was the best-preserved tomb discovered in the Valley before that of Tutankhamun, Thuya's great-grandson. The tomb was discovered by a team of workmen led by archaeologist James Quibell on behalf of the American millionaire Theodore M. Davis. Though the tomb had been robbed in antiquity, much of its contents were still present, including beds, boxes, chests, a chariot, and the sarcophagi, coffins, and mummies of the two occupants.Thuya's large gilded and black-painted wooden sarcophagus was placed against the south wall of the tomb. It is rectangular, with a lid shaped like the sloping roof of the per-wer shrine of Upper Egypt, and sits on ornamental sledge runners, their non-functionality underscored by the three battens attached below them. Ancient robbers had partially dismantled it to access her coffins and mummy, placing its lid and one long side on a bed on the other side of the tomb; the other long side had been leaned against the south wall. Her outer gilded anthropoid coffin had been removed, its lid placed atop the beds, and the trough put into the far corner of the tomb; the lid of her second (innermost) coffin, also gilded, had been removed and placed to one side although the trough and her mummy remained inside the sarcophagus. Quibell suggests this is due to the robbers having some difficulty in removing the lid of this coffin.MummyThuya's mummified body was found covered with a large sheet of linen, knotted at the back and secured by four bandages. These bands were covered with resin and opposite each band were her gilded titles cut from gold foil. The resin coating on the lower layers of bandages preserved the impression of a large broad collar. The mummy bands that had once covered her wrapped mummy were recovered above the storage jars on the far side of the room.The first examination of her body was conducted by Australian anatomist Grafton Elliot Smith. He found her to be an elderly woman of small stature, 1.495 metres (4.90 ft) in height, with white hair. Both of her earlobes had two piercings. Her arms are straight at her sides with her hands against the outside of her thighs. Her embalming incision is stitched with thread, to which a carnelian barrel bead is attached at the lower end; her body cavity is stuffed with resin-soaked linen. When Dr. Douglas Derry, (who later conducted the first examination of Tutankhamun's mummy) assisting Smith in his examination, exposed Thuya's feet to get an accurate measurement of her height, he found her to be wearing gold foil sandals. Smith estimated her age at more than 50 years based on her outward appearance alone. Recent CT scanning has estimated her age at death to be 50–60 years old. Her brain was removed, though no embalming material was inserted, and both nostrils were stuffed with linen. Embalming packs had been placed into her eye sockets, and subcutaneous filling had been placed into her mid and lower face to restore a lifelike appearance; embalming material had also been placed into her mouth and throat. Her teeth were in poor condition at the time of her death, with missing molars. Heavy wear and abscesses had been noted in earlier x-rays. The scan revealed that she had severe scoliosis with a Cobb angle of 25 degrees. No cause of death could be determined. Her mummy has the inventory number CG 51191.Archaeological items pertaining to ThuyaPassage 2:Kaoru HatoyamaKaoru Hatoyama (\u0000\u0000 \u0000, Hatoyama Kaoru, 21 November 1888 – 15 August 1982) was an educator and an administrator, the schoolmaster of Kyoritsu Women's University, which was founded by her mother-in-law, Haruko Hatoyama. She is well known as the wife of Ichirō Hatoyama, who was the 52nd–54th Prime Minister of Japan, serving terms from December 10, 1954 through December 23, 1956. She was the mother of Iichirō Hatoyama, who was Japan's Foreign Minister from 1976 through 1977.After the elections of 2009, she became more widely known as the grandmother of Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama and his politician brother Kunio Hatoyama.See alsoHatoyama Hall (Hatoyama Kaikan)NotesPassage 3:Anne DenmanAnne Denman (1587–1661) was born in Olde Hall, Retford, Nottinghamshire. Through a second marriage with Thomas Aylesbury, she became the grandmother of Lady Anne Hyde, Duchess of York and great-grandmother of Queen Mary II and Queen Anne.Early lifeAnne was born in Olde Hall, West Retford in around 1587. She was the younger daughter of Francis Denman of Retford and Anne (Blount) Denman. Francis (born c. 1531, died 1599) was the rector of West Retford, Notts from 1578. He was the second son of Anne Hercy by her first husband, Nicholas Denman esq of East Retford, Notts. Francis had several sons who pre-deceased him and left two daughters as his heirs: Barbara (born c. 1583) who married Edward Darell (born c. 1582); and Anne.Anne's nephew, Dr John Darrell, was the youngest child of Barbara Denman and Edward Darell, and inherited substantial properties from both the Denman and Darell families. In 1665 just before his death he made a will dividing his estate between three charities. He donated the childhood home of Anne and Barbara, Olde Hall, to create a hospital for elderly men (an alms house), which became the site for Trinity Hospital, Retford (a Grade II listed building).MarriagesAnne was married at 20 and left a widow at 23 after the death of her first husband William, the younger son of Sir Thomas Darell. William was the half-brother of her sister Barbara's husband Edward.Anne left Retford due to some unknown trouble, or loss of fortune, in 1610 and proceeded to London by waggon-coach. Wilmshurst (1908) records that there had been a lawsuit between the two sisters in 1605.After reaching London, Anne is said to have halted at a hostel called the 'Goat and Compasses', where she rested before looking out for an occupation suitable for a country lady of good birth and family. The owner (not the landlord) of the hostel was Mr Thomas Aylesbury, a rich brewer of the Parish of St Andrew's, Holborn who happened to be making an inspection of his 'Houses' and required a housekeeper for his household, engaging Anne to this position. Thomas was a widower of 34, and a year later made Anne an offer of marriage.The marriage of Anne and Thomas was recorded in the Bishop of London's Registry, dated 3 October 1611, giving the couple's address as St Andrew's, Holborn. The registry notes that the marriage has 'the consent of his father, William Aylesbury, Esquire'. She is described in the register as 'Anne Darell, of the City of London, widow, whose husband died a year before'. Edwin Wilmshurst (1908) notes that Anne's first husband, William Darrel is described as 'of London', and apparently died there. He says this suggests Anne 'may have become acquainted with Mr Thomas Aylesbury before she became so young a widow and he a widower'. He also comments that on 17 April 1611, there was a partition of Estate between Edward Darrel and Barbara his wife, and her sister Anne, by an Indenture. This took place while she was working for Thomas Aylesbury but before she married him.Marrying Thomas was fortunate for Anne, as in 1627, he was created a Baronet, Master of the Mint, and Master of the Requests, by Charles I. After the King's death, the family moved to Antwerp with other Royalists. During this time in exile, Barbara, Anne's daughter died. Lady Anne Hyde, Duchess of York, and granddaughter of Anne Denman, later noted in her pocket book that her aunt Barbara died in Antwerp in 1652 and unmarried. 'My dear Aunt Bab was, when she died, 24 years of age.' Barbara, when in exile in Holland, was attached to the then Princess of Orange, as a lady in waiting at the Hague.ChildrenThe issue of Anne Denman's marriage with Thomas Aylesbury were:William baptised in 1612 at St Margaret's Lothbury in London, died in Jamaica in 1656Thomas (probably died young)Frances born 1617 died 1667, married Edward Hyde in 1634, had issueLady Anne (1637–1671), married King James II/VIIHon.

Anne returned to London. Sir Thomas's will was in favour of Anne and her daughter Frances, but was disputed. Fortunately, Anne had the help of the eminent lawyer Edward Hyde (b. 18 February 1608/9 d. 1674) who was married to her daughter Frances. The deaths of Frances' brothers and sisters meant that by the time of her father's death she was the heiress for her father's estate.Edward HydeEdward Hyde was Anne's son-in-law. The Registers of Westminster Abbey show that he married Frances, daughter of Sir Thomas Aylesbury and his wife Anne, at the Church of St Margaret's, Westminster (in which Parish Sir Thomas and Anne were resident), on 10 July 1634, under a Licence from the Dean and Chapter of Westminster, issued the same day. He was said to be 26 years of age having been born in the ninth year of King Charles' reign (1609), and was already a widower.

Later, he returned to the U.S., appearing in a number of films, doing voice work, and teaching voice acting.Probably his most widely seen work in thelate 1970s was his English adaptation of the Japanese television show, Spectreman which was seen on UHF and cable across the United States. While he shareswriting credit with two other people, it's clear that most of the English voice work, and the offbeat humor, is his. Reportedly, Welles also wrote gag material forLord Buckley at some point in his career.In 1998, Welles took to the stage in a community theater production of Little Shop of Horrors as Mushnik, the role hecreated in the original Roger Corman film. Welles had never performed in the musical and was happy to be asked to do the role, which he described as a\"mitzvah\" for Scotts Valley Performing Arts. Jonathan Haze, who played Seymour in the original film, attended the opening, and Welles also received a visit fromMartin P. Robinson, the designer of the Audrey II plant puppets used in the off-Broadway production (Robinson is also famous for his puppetry on SesameStreet).Arguably his most remembered piece is the beat poem he wrote for the classic film High School Confidential (1958). Famously delivered by PhillipaFallon, Dragsville, has become a classic piece of literary and cinema history.Welles was working on a horror screenplay, tentatively titled House of a HundredHorrors, at the time of his death.FilmographyNotesExternal linksMel Welles at IMDbPassage 3:Edward LudwigEdward Irving Ludwig (October 7, 1899 – August 20,1982) was a Russian-born American film director and writer. He directed nearly 100 films between 1921 and 1963 (some under the names Edward I. Luddy andCharles Fuhr).Ludwig was born in Ukraine, then part of the Russian Empire, entered the United States from Canada on March 6, 1911, became a naturalizedcitizen December 23, 1932, and died in Santa Monica, California.Partial filmographyPassage 4:The Fighting SeabeesThe Fighting Seabees is a 1944 war film,directed by Edward Ludwig and starring John Wayne and Susan Hayward. The supporting cast includes Dennis O'Keefe, William Frawley, Leonid Kinsky, AddisonRichards and Grant Withers. The Fighting Seabees portrays a heavily fictionalized account of the dilemma that led to the creation of the U.S. Navy's \"Seabees\" inWorld War II. At the 17th Academy Awards, the film received a nomination for Best Scoring of a Dramatic or Comedy Picture for Walter Scharf and Roy Webb butthe award went to Max Steiner for Since You Went Away.Plot\"Wedge\" Donovan is a tough construction boss, building airstrips in the Pacific for the US Navy duringWorld War II. He clashes with his liaison officer, Lieutenant Commander Robert Yarrow, over the fact that his men are not allowed to arm themselves against theJapanese.When the enemy lands in force on the island, Donovan's men want to help fight. Donovan initially tries to dissuade them, but after a Japanese fighterkills or wounds several workers, he changes his mind and leads his men into the fray. This prevents Yarrow from springing a carefully devised trap that wouldhave wiped out the invaders in a murderous machine gun crossfire, with minimal American losses. Instead, many of Donovan's men are killed unnecessarily.As aresult of this tragedy, Yarrow finally convinces the Navy to form Construction Battalions (CBs, or the more familiar \"Seabees\") with Donovan's assistance, despitetheir mutual romantic interest in war correspondent Constance Chesley. Donovan and many of his men enlist and receive formal military training.The two menare teamed together on another island. The Japanese launch a major attack, which the Seabees barely manage to hold off, sometimes using heavy constructionmachinery such as bulldozers and a clamshell bucket.When word reaches Donovan of another approaching enemy column, there are no sailors left to counter thisnew threat. In desperation, he rigs a bulldozer with explosives on its blade, intending to ram it into a petroleum storage tank. The plan works, sending a cascadeof burning liquid into the path of the Japanese, who retreat in panic, right into the sights of waiting machine guns. However, Donovan is shot in the process anddies in the explosion.CastProductionThe Fighting Seabees had the biggest budget in Republic's history, $1.5 million. The film was completed in collaboration withthe US Navy and the US Marine Corps, and took place on several bases in California (Camp Hueneme and Camp Pendleton), Virginia (Camp Peary) and RhodeIsland (Camp Endicott). Principal photography took place from September 20 to early December 1943.The bulk of the outdoor locations for The Fighting Seabeeswas filmed on the Iverson Movie Ranch in Chatsworth, Calif., widely considered to be the most heavily filmed outdoor filming location in the history of film andtelevision. The production took over virtually the entire 500-acre location ranch for a period of time in 1943, constructing extensive sets on both the UpperIverson and the Lower Iverson. Palm trees were brought in to transform Iverson's rocky Western landscape into a version of the Pacific islands where the film'saction was set.A massive landing strip was constructed on the Upper Iverson to simulate the takeoffs and landings of combat aircraft, as well as enemy bombingraids on the U.S.-built installation. On other parts of the ranch, Quonset huts, observation towers, large fuel tanks and other props were built, with theconstruction process in many cases filmed and featured as part of the film. Graphic scenes depicting tank battles, sniper attacks and hand-to-hand combat werefilmed in the Iverson Gorge, Garden of the Gods and other sections of the movie ranch, in one of the largest productions in the ranch's history.The aircraft in TheFighting Seabees were:Brewster F2A-3 BuffaloDouglas TBD DevastatorDouglas SBD DauntlessMitsubishi Ki-21Grumman F4F-3 WildcatPropagandaDuring WorldWar Two, the enemy in Europe was Nazism, while the enemy in the Pacific was the entire race of Japanese people, according to Dower. Japanese atrocitiesincluding the Rape of Nanking, the Bataan Death March, and the kamikaze pilots were partly to blame for these attitudes, but other aspects such as the Attack onPearl Harbor were also at work. As a result of these attitudes, anti-Japanese attitudes were common, including in films of the time. In 'The Fighting Seabees',Dennis O'Keefe informs John Wayne \"We're not fighting men anymore, we're fighting animals.\" The films climactic scene shows Wayne as he punctures andignites a large fuel tank, flooding the advancing enemy with burning oil. '\"That'll scorch those Nips back six generations,\" he exults.'ReceptionFilm historianLeonard Maltin in Leonard Maltin's 2013 Movie Guide (2012) considered The Fighting Seabees, \"action-packed\" and \"spirited\". Film historian Alun Edwards inBrassey's Guide to War Films (2000) was more effusive in his evaluation: \"With oodles of eulogies and even a Seabees song to sing, you can't fail to leave theRoxy dewey-eyed and with Stars and Stripes fluttering.\"A positive review in the Rushville Republican included as highlights expertly scened battle sequences,tense dramatic interludes, moments of comedy contrasting with moments of suspense; concluding that this film is 'among the most spectacular ever filmed inHollywood.' This review also drew attention to the fact that the 'Seabees' are less known to the public than most other branches of service, despite providinginvaluable service: 'They are, quite literally, the \"men in front of the man behind the gun.\" They land in combat zones ahead of the troops, and prepare docks,landing fields, barracks, everything that the invading troops require.'See alsoJohn Wayne filmographyList of American films of 1944Passage 5:EdwardYatesEdward J.

His parents were George R. and Frances (Pixley) Ford.The senior Ford's father George Ford died in a train accident in 1903 forcing him to dropout of school to support the family. He was working as a paint salesman at the Grand Rapids Wood Finishing Company when he met the future president'smother Dorothy Ayer Gardner King. Dorothy had fled to Michigan from Omaha, Nebraska, in 1913, 16 days after the President's birth, after her husband (and herson's birth father), Leslie Lynch King Sr., had physically abused her. She came to Grand Rapids to be near her parents, Levi Addison Gardner and Adele AugustaAyer Gardner, who lived in the town.FamilyThe couple married on February 1, 1917, following Dorothy's divorce from King when the future president was threeand began calling Dorothy's first son \"Gerald.\"Gerald Rudolff Ford and Dorothy Ford had three children – sons Thomas Gardner Ford (July 15, 1918 – August 28,1995); Richard Addison Ford (June 3, 1924 – March 20, 2015); and James Francis Ford (August 11, 1927 – January 23, 2001).The president was to write laterthat in the household there were three rules for him and his half brothers: \"tell the truth, work hard and come to dinner on time.\"The elder Ford founded the FordPaint and Varnish Company in 1929 just before the Great Depression. After the Depression hit, Ford asked his employees to work for $5/week and likewise paidhimself the same salary until all could be paid more.The future president was enrolled in the Grand Rapids school system under the name of hisstepfather. When the president's birth father Leslie Lynch King reappeared in 1929 (or 1930 depending on accounts), he stopped at schools searching for a\"Leslie King\" before finding him at Grand Rapids South High School after asking for a \"Junior Ford.\"The future president turned down an offer from his biologicalfather to move with him to Wyoming.Leslie's father Charles King had been paying child support for Ford until 1929 when the stock market crash wiped out hisfortune. After Leslie's father died, Dorothy sought an order to get money from the $50,000 Leslie had inherited. However, since Leslie had moved to Wyoming hewas out of the jurisdiction of the Nebraska court.The elder Ford never legally adopted the president.

She previously served in the Obama administration as the United States Ambassador to Japan from 2013 to 2017. A prominent memberof the Kennedy family, she is the only surviving child of former U.S. president John F. Kennedy (JFK) and former first lady Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy.JFK wonthe 1960 presidential election when Caroline was two years old. Spending her early childhood years in the White House during the Kennedy Administration, shewas almost six when he was assassinated on November 22, 1963. The following year, she and her brother John F. Kennedy Jr. moved with their motherJacqueline to the Upper East Side of Manhattan, where Caroline attended grade school.Kennedy graduated from Harvard University and worked at Manhattan'sMetropolitan Museum of Art, where she met her future husband, exhibit designer Edwin Schlossberg. She later earned a J.D. degree from Columbia Law School.Most of Kennedy's professional life has been in law, politics, education reform, and charitable work. She has also acted as a spokesperson for her family's legacy,especially that of her father, and co-authored two books with Ellen Alderman on civil liberties.Early in the primary race for the 2008 presidential election, Kennedyand her uncle, Ted Kennedy, endorsed Democratic candidate Barack Obama. She later stumped for him in Florida, Indiana, and Ohio, served as co-chair of hisVice Presidential Search Committee, and addressed the 2008 Democratic National Convention in Denver.After Obama selected United States senator HillaryClinton to serve as secretary of state, Kennedy expressed interest in being appointed to Clinton's vacant Senate seat from New York, but later withdrew fromconsideration for personal reasons. In 2013, President Obama appointed Kennedy as the United States ambassador to Japan. Eight years later, Joe Bidenappointed Kennedy as United States ambassador to Australia and she took office following her confirmation on June 10, 2022.Early lifeWhite House yearsCarolineBouvier Kennedy was born by caesarean section on November 27, 1957, at New York Hospital in Manhattan's Upper East Side to John Fitzgerald Kennedy (then aU.S. senator from Massachusetts) and Jacqueline Lee Bouvier Kennedy. A year before Caroline's birth, her parents had a stillborn daughter. Caroline had ayounger brother, John Jr., who was born just before her third birthday in 1960. Another brother, Patrick, died two days after his premature birth in 1963. Carolinelived with her parents in Georgetown, Washington, D.C. during the first three years of her life. When Caroline was three years old, the family moved to the WhiteHouse after her father was sworn in as the president of the United States.Caroline frequently attended kindergarten in classes that were organized by her mother,and she was often photographed riding her pony \"Macaroni\" around the White House grounds. One such photo in a news article inspired singer-songwriter NeilDiamond to write his Top Ten hit song, \"Sweet Caroline\", which he revealed when he performed it for Caroline's 50th birthday. As a small child, Caroline receivednumerous gifts from dignitaries, including a puppy from Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev and a Yucatán pony from Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson. Ashort-lived comic strip was created about her.Historians described Caroline's childhood personality as \"a trifle remote and a bit shy at times\" yet \"remarkablyunspoiled.\" \"She's too young to realize all these luxuries\", her paternal grandmother, Rose Kennedy, said of her. \"She probably thinks it's natural for children togo off in their own airplanes. But she is with her cousins, and some of them dance and swim better than she. They do not allow her to take special precedence.Little children accept things\".On the day of JFK's assassination on November 22, 1963, nanny Maud Shaw took Caroline and John Jr. away from the White Houseto the home of their maternal grandmother, Janet Bouvier Auchincloss, who insisted that Shaw would be the one to tell Caroline that her father was assassinated.That evening, Caroline and John Jr. returned to the White House, and while Caroline was sleeping in her bed, Shaw broke the news to her. Shaw soon found outthat Jacqueline had wanted to be the one to tell the two children; this caused a rift between Shaw and Jacqueline. On December 6, two weeks after theassassination, Jacqueline, Caroline, and John Jr. moved out of the White House and returned to Georgetown. However, their new home soon became a populartourist attraction. The family left Georgetown the following year and later moved to a penthouse apartment at 1040 Fifth Avenue on the Upper East Side.Laterchildhood yearsIn 1967, Caroline christened the U.S. Navy aircraft carrier USS John F. Kennedy in a widely publicized ceremony in Newport News, Virginia. Overthat summer, Jacqueline took the children on a six-week \"sentimental journey\" to Ireland, where they met President Éamon de Valera and visited the Kennedyancestral home at Dunganstown. In the midst of the trip, Caroline and John were surrounded by a large number of press photographers while playing in a pond.The incident caused their mother to telephone Ireland's Department of External Affairs and request the issuing of a statement that she and the children wanted tobe left in peace. As a result of the request, further attempts by press photographers to photograph the threesome ended with arrests by local police and thephotographers being jailed.Robert F. Kennedy became a major presence in the lives of Caroline and John Jr. following their father's assassination, and Carolinesaw her uncle as a surrogate father. However, when Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in 1968, Jacqueline sought a means of protecting her children, stating: \"Ihate this country. I despise America and I don't want my children to live here anymore. If they're killing Kennedys, my kids are the number one targets. I havethe two main targets. I want to get out of this country\". Jacqueline Kennedy married Greek shipping tycoon Aristotle Onassis several months later and she andthe children moved to Skorpios, his Greek island. The next year, 11-year-old Caroline attended the funeral of her grandfather, Joseph P. Kennedy Sr. Her cousin,David, asked her about her feelings towards her mother's new husband and she replied, \"I don't like him\".In 1970, Jacqueline wrote her brother-in-law TedKennedy a letter stating that Caroline had been without a godfather since Robert Kennedy's death and would like Ted to assume the role. Ted began makingregular trips from Washington to New York to see Caroline, where she was in school. In 1971, Caroline returned to the White House for the first time since herfather's assassination when she was invited by President Richard Nixon to view the official portrait of her father.Onassis died in March 1975, and Caroline returnedto Skorpios for his funeral. A few days later she and her mother and brother attended the presentation by French president Valéry Giscard d'Estaing of the Legionof Honor award to her aunt, Eunice Kennedy Shriver. Later that year, Caroline was visiting London to complete a year-long art course at the Sotheby's auctionhouse, when an IRA car bomb placed under the car of her hosts, Conservative MP Sir Hugh Fraser and his wife, Antonia, exploded shortly before she and theFrasers were due to leave for their daily drive to Sotheby's.

The plot follows adventures of Carmenand Juni Cortez, two children who become involved in their parents' espionage organization. The films include Latino themes, as Rodriguez is of Mexicandescent.BackgroundInfluencesSpy Kids was influenced by James Bond films. The first film was \"a fusion of Willy Wonka and James Bond\" and the second was the\"Mysterious Island and James Bond mix\".The spy organization in the films is called the OSS. These initials are from the Office of Strategic Services, a former U.S.intelligence organization during World War II which later evolved into the CIA. The character Donnagon Giggles was named after William Joseph Donovan, thedirector of the original OSS. The initials in the Spy Kids universe are never specified on screen, but, in one of the books, they stand for the Organization of SuperSpies.ThemesOne of the main themes of Spy Kids is the unity of family. The children have adult responsibilities, and a lesson is that keeping secrets from familymembers can have a negative effect on relationships. The first film also deals extensively with sibling rivalry and the responsibility of older children. There is alsoa strong sense of Latino heritage.Technical innovationsThe other films were shot with High Definition digital video, parts of the third film using an anaglyphicprocess to create the 3-D effect. Audiences were given red/blue 3D glasses with their tickets in movie theatres. Four sets of these glasses were also included inthe DVD release. The third film was used as a test for a special Texas Instruments digital projector which can project polarized 3D, which does not require thered-blue lenses, later reused for The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl in 3-D (2005).FilmsSpy Kids (2001)After retiring from espionage for ten years,Gregorio and Ingrid (Antonio Banderas and Carla Gugino) are pulled back into duty for their important assignment despite the fact they were out of practice, andwere captured.

However, theMachete films share little in common with the Spy Kids films thematically and are not considered direct spin-offs, the first film instead being an adult-orientedaction exploitation film, with the second film introducing science fiction elements; both films additionally share several cast members and characters with the SpyKids films. The idea for a Machete film came from a fake trailer promoting the Grindhouse double-feature by Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino. Trejo andRodriguez have made two conflicting statements regarding its canonicity to the Spy Kids films; Trejo claimed that the films depict \"what Uncle Machete does whenhe's not taking care of the kids\", while Rodriguez said in a Reddit AMA that they are alternate universes. Regardless, Rodriguez claimed that he was prompted byan incident on the set of the first Machete film to start envisioning a fourth film in the main Spy Kids film series, casting Jessica Alba as Machete's sister Marissa, adifferent character to the one she portrayed in Machete, with Trejo additionally reprising his role alongside her.NotesPassage 2:Legion of Lost FlyersLegion of LostFlyers (aka Legion of Lost Fliers) is a 1939 American B movie drama film directed by Christy Cabanne.

He was born in Le Claire, Iowa Territory (now the U.S. state of Iowa), but he lived for several years in his father's hometown in modern-dayMississauga, Ontario, Canada, before the family returned to the Midwest and settled in the Kansas Territory.Buffalo Bill started working at the age of 11, after hisfather's death, and became a rider for the Pony Express at age 15. During the American Civil War, he served the Union from 1863 to the end of the war in 1865.Later he served as a civilian scout for the U.S. Army during the Indian Wars, receiving the Medal of Honor in 1872.One of the most famous and well-known figuresof the American Old West, Buffalo Bill's legend began to spread when he was only 23. Shortly thereafter he started performing in shows that displayed cowboythemes and episodes from the frontier and Indian Wars. He founded Buffalo Bill's Wild West in 1883, taking his large company on tours in the United States and,beginning in 1887, in Great Britain and continental Europe.Early life and educationCody was born on February 26, 1846, on a farm just outside Le Claire, Iowa.His father, Isaac Cody, was born on September 5, 1811, in Toronto Township, Upper Canada, now part of Mississauga, Ontario, directly west of Toronto. MaryAnn Bonsell Laycock, Bill's mother, was born about 1817 in Trenton, New Jersey. She moved to Cincinnati to teach school, and there she met and married Isaac.She was a descendant of Josiah Bunting, a Quaker who had settled in Pennsylvania. There is no evidence to indicate Buffalo Bill was raised as a Quaker. In 1847the couple moved to Ontario, having their son baptized in 1847, as William Cody, at the Dixie Union Chapel in Peel County (present-day Peel Region, of whichMississauga is a part), not far from the farm of his father's family. The chapel was built with Cody money, and the land was donated by Philip Cody of TorontoTownship. They lived in Ontario for several years.In 1853, Isaac Cody sold his land in rural Scott County, Iowa, for $2000 (around $68,000 in today's money) andthe family moved to Fort Leavenworth, Kansas Territory. In the years before the Civil War, Kansas was overtaken by political and physical conflict over theslavery question. Isaac Cody was against slavery. He was invited to speak at Rively's store, a local trading post where pro-slavery men often held meetings. Hisantislavery speech so angered the crowd that they threatened to kill him if he did not step down. A man jumped up and stabbed him twice with a Bowie knife.Rively, the store's owner, rushed Cody to get treatment, but he never fully recovered from his injuries.In Kansas, the family was frequently persecuted bypro-slavery supporters. Cody's father spent time away from home for his safety. His enemies learned of a planned visit to his family and plotted to kill him on theway. Bill, despite his youth and being ill at the time, rode thirty miles (48 km) to warn his father. Isaac Cody went to Cleveland, Ohio, to organize a group ofthirty families to bring back to Kansas, to add to the antislavery population. During his return trip, he caught a respiratory infection which, compounded by thelingering effects of his stabbing and complications from kidney disease, led to his death in April 1857.After his death, the family suffered financially. At age 11, Billtook a job with a freight carrier as a \"boy extra\". On horseback he would ride up and down the length of a wagon train and deliver messages between the driversand workmen. Next, he joined Johnston's Army as an unofficial member of the scouts assigned to guide the United States Army to Utah, to put down a rumoredrebellion by the Mormon population of Salt Lake City.According to Cody's account in Buffalo Bill's Own Story, the Utah War was where he began his career as an\"Indian fighter\":Presently the moon rose, dead ahead of me; and painted boldly across its face was the figure of an Indian. He wore this war-bonnet of the Sioux,at his shoulder was a rifle pointed at someone in the river-bottom 30 feet [9 meters] below; in another second he would drop one of my friends. I raised my oldmuzzle-loader and fired. The figure collapsed, tumbled down the bank and landed with a splash in the water. \"What is it?\" called McCarthy, as he hurried back.\"It's over there in the water.\" \"Hi!\" he cried. \"Little Billy's killed an Indian all by himself!\" So began my career as an Indian fighter.At the age of 14, in 1860, Codywas caught up in the \"gold fever\", with news of gold at Fort Colville and the Holcomb Valley Gold Rush in California. On his way to the goldfields, however, he metan agent for the Pony Express. He signed with them, and after building several stations and corrals, Cody was given a job as a rider. He worked at this until hewas called home to his sick mother's bedside.Cody claimed to have had many jobs, including trapper, bullwhacker, \"Fifty-Niner\" in Colorado, Pony Express rider in1860, wagonmaster, stagecoach driver, and a hotel manager, but historians have had difficulty documenting them. He may have fabricated some for publicity.Namely, it is argued that in contrast to Cody's claims, he never rode for the Pony Express, but as a boy, he did work for its parent company, the transport firm ofRussell, Majors, and Waddell. In contrast to the adventurous rides, hundreds of miles long, that he recounted in the press, his real job was to carry messages onhorseback from the firm's office in Leavenworth to the telegraph station three miles away.Military servicesAfter his mother recovered, Cody wanted to enlist as asoldier in the Union Army during the American Civil War but was refused because of his young age. He began working with a freight caravan that deliveredsupplies to Fort Laramie in present-day Wyoming. In 1863, at age 17, he enlisted as a teamster with the rank of private in Company H, 7th Kansas Cavalry, andserved until discharged in 1865.The next year, Cody married Louisa Frederici. They had four children. Two died young, while the family was living in Rochester,New York. They and a third child are buried in Mount Hope Cemetery, in Rochester.In 1866, he reunited with his old friend Wild Bill Hickok in Junction City,Kansas, then serving as a scout. Cody enlisted as a scout himself at Fort Ellsworth and scouted between there and Fort Fletcher (later renamed and moved to FortHays). He was attached as a scout, variously, to Captain George Augustus Armes (Battle of the Saline River) and Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer(guide and impromptu horse race to Fort Larned). It was during this service at Fort Ellsworth that he met William Rose, with whom he would found the short-livedsettlement of Rome.In 1867, with the construction of the Kansas Pacific Railway completing through Hays City and Rome, Cody was granted a leave of absence tohunt buffalo to supply railroad construction workers with meat. This endeavor continued into 1868, which saw his hunting contest with William Comstock.Codyreturned to Army service in 1868. From his post in Fort Larned, he performed an exceptional feat of riding as a lone dispatch courier from Fort Larned to FortZarah (escaping brief capture), Fort Zarah to Fort Hays, Fort Hays to Fort Dodge, Fort Dodge to Fort Larned, and, finally, Fort Larned to Fort Hays, a total of 350miles in 58 hours through hostile territory, covering the last 35 miles on foot. In response, General Philip Sheridan assigned him Chief of Scouts for the 5thCavalry Regiment.He was also Chief of Scouts for the Third Cavalry in later campaigns of the Plains Wars.In January 1872, Cody was a scout for the highlypublicized hunting expedition of the Grand Duke Alexei Alexandrovich of Russia.Medal of HonorCody was awarded the Medal of Honor in 1872 for documentedgallantry above and beyond the call of duty as an Army scout in the Indian Wars. It was revoked in 1917, along with medals of 910 other recipients dating back tothe Revolutionary War, when Congress decided to create a hierarchy of medals, designating the \"Medal of Honor\" as the highest military honor it could bestow.Subsequent regulations authorized the War Department to revoke prior Medal of Honor awards it considered not meeting requirements since the introduction ofstrict regulations promulgated under the 1917 law. Those regulations required the medal to be awarded for acts of bravery above and beyond the call of duty by"} +{"doc_id":"doc_48","qid":"","text":"Passage 1:Henry II, Count of Reuss-GeraHenry II of Reuss (younger line) (10 June 1572 in Gera – 23 December [O.S. 13 December] 1635 in Gera), nicknamedthe Posthumous because his father died two months before he was born, was Lord of Gera, Lord of Lobenstein and Lord of Oberkranichfeld.LifeHenry II was bornposthumously, as the only son of Henry XVI of Reuss-Gera (1530-1572), the founder of the Younger Line, and his wife, Countess Dorothea of Solms-Sonnewalde(1547-1595), daughter of Frederick Magnus I, Count of Solms-Laubach.Henry successfully promoted education and the economy of his country.

He held the island of Langeland in fief andinherited the properties of the ducal family in southern Funen, just as his uncle, Abel, Lord of Langeland, had before him. He is mentioned for the first time asresponsible for the killing of the seneschal Skjalm Stigsen on 23 August 1292. The murder was probably a result of the enmity caused when King Eric VI ofDenmark, after coming of age, confiscated the fief of Langeland and the properties of the ducal family in southern Funen.Together with his brother, DukeValdemar, he joined the king's enemies. In 1293, there was a clash between the two parties at Sommersted Heath near Haderslev which resulted in acompromise where Eric received Langeland as a fief.Subsequently, he married Sophia of Querfurt, a daughter of Jutta of Saxony, widow of King Eric IV ofDenmark in her second marriage to Burchard VIII, Count of Querfurt-Rosenburg. Sophia was thus a half-sister of King Eric IV's daughters, among which were thedeceased Queen Ingeborg of Norway, mother of King Eric II of Norway. The marriage thus connected Eric to the king of Norway, who knighted him, and also ledto a new conflict with King Eric VI, who retained his wife's inheritance from her half-sisters.On 3 February 1296 a compromise was entered in Vordingborg, inwhich the king promised to hand over Sophia's inheritance, but where the ducal family's properties in southern Funen, which had formerly belonged to Abel, Lordof Langeland, were kept by the king as lawfully acquired from Abel's daughter. Only the city of Rudkøbing was transferred to become part of the fief of Langeland,and Eric confirmed the city's rights on the same day.Eric died in 1310. In 1315, Sophia, in the presence of the king and several noblemen, donated theinheritance of her sisters to Saint Agnes' Priory in Roskilde, keeping only the city of Skælskør for herself.Marriage and issueEric married Sophia of Querfurt, adaughter of Burchard VIII, Count of Querfurt-Rosenburg, Burgrave of Magdeburg and Jutta of Saxony, widow of Eric IV of Denmark.

She has had many years of experience working on agricultural markets – particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa – and has held senior positions in the World Bank, the International Food Policy Research Institute (Washington), and United Nations (Geneva).Eleni GebremedhnEleni was born in Addis Ababa, Ethiopian Empire on 12 July 1964. She grew up in four different African countries including Kenya, Tanzania and South Africa. She speaks fluent Swahili, English, Amharic and French. She graduated from Rift Valley Academy in Kenya with the highest of honours. She has a PhD in Applied Economics from Stanford University, master's degrees from Michigan State University and bachelor's in economics from Cornell University. Eleni was selected as \"Ethiopian Person of the Year\" for the 2002 ET calendar year (2009/2010 Gregorian) by the Ethiopian newspaper Jimma Times.CareerShe was the main driving force behind the development of the Ethiopia Commodity Exchange (ECX). Whilst working as a researcher for the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) she examined agricultural markets for many years and noticed, as had many others, that whilst in some years or regions there were severe shortages or droughts in others there were surpluses or bumper harvests. Specifically in her survey of grain traders in 2002, she found that a key factor was the lack of effective infrastructure and services needed for grain markets to function properly. Traders often failed to have access to sufficient credit, information about the market, transportation and other vital resources and contract compliance was difficult to enforce. In 2004 she moved home from the US to lead an IFPRI program to improve Ethiopia's agricultural policies and markets. Specifically she undertook the important role of coordinating the advisory body developing the ECX. She became CEO of the new exchange in 2008, and argued that \"(W)hen farmers can sell their crops on the open market and get a fair price, they will have much more incentive to be productive, and Ethiopia will be much less prone to food crises\" .... and that the \"ECX will allow farmers and traders to link to the global economy, propelling Ethiopian agriculture forward to a whole new level.\"In February 2013, she became a director of Syngenta.In 2013, Eleni launched eleni LLC, a company intended to build and invest in commodity exchanges in markets in the developing world, including Africa.In November 2021, the Canadian novelist Jeff Pearce leaked a video that depicts Eleni's participation in a virtual meeting discussion, along with Professor Ephraim Isaac, former Ethiopian Minister of Foreign Affairs and current TPLF spokesperson Berhane Gebre-Christos and several Western diplomats, that mentioned a transitional government during Tigray War.

On 25 November, Eleni released a statement that denying the allegation as \"deliberately misrepresented\". Two days before the leaked video unveiled, police forces searched her house and remained undisclosed for suspected foul play. The incident stirred public outrage in Ethiopia and its diaspora, condemning her as traitor. The University of Gondar also revoked an honorary doctorate it had awarded her.AwardsIn 2010, Eleni was named Ethiopian Person of the Year for the 2002 Ethiopian year. Eleni was listed as one of the 50 Women Shaping Africa in 2011.In 2012, Eleni was awarded the Yara Laurate Prize from the Norwegian fertilizer manufacturer Yara International for her outstanding contributions to sustainable food production and distribution with socio-economic impact.

McKenzie (as I have mentioned before) and P. Begg have indications of making really first class players.When the Association matches start I think the Port club will have a team that will stand a lot of knocking about, and also take a lot to beat\".

When Klein resigned the party's leadership in 2006, Stelmachwas among the first to present his candidature to replace him. After a third-place finish on the first ballot of the leadership race, he won an upset second ballotvictory over former provincial treasurer Jim Dinning.Stelmach's premiership was heavily focused on management of the province's oil reserves, especially those ofthe Athabasca Oil Sands. He rejected calls from environmentalists to slow the pace of development in the Fort McMurray area, and similarly opposed calls forcarbon taxes. Other policy initiatives included commencing an overhaul of the province's health governance system, amendments to the Alberta human rightscode, a re-introduction of all-party committees to the Legislature, and the conclusion of a major labour agreement with Alberta's teachers. His government alsoattracted controversy for awarding itself a 30% pay increase shortly after its re-election, and featured strained relations with Calgary, one of Klein's formerstrongholds.

His granddaughter is the spouse of Manaf Tlass.Passage 3:Sophia Magdalenaof DenmarkSophia Magdalena of Denmark (Danish: Sophie Magdalene; Swedish: Sofia Magdalena; 3 July 1746 – 21 August 1813) was Queen of Sweden from1771 to 1792 as the wife of King Gustav III. Born into the House of Oldenburg, the royal family of Denmark-Norway, Sophia Magdalena was the first daughter ofKing Frederick V of Denmark and Norway and his first consort, Princess Louise of Great Britain. Already at the age of five, she was betrothed to Gustav, the heirapparent to the throne of Sweden, as part of an attempt to improve the traditionally tense relationship between the two Scandinavian realms. She wassubsequently brought up to be the Queen of Sweden, and they married in 1766. In 1771, Sophia's husband ascended to the throne and became King of Sweden,making Sophia Queen of Sweden. Their coronation was on 29 May 1772.The politically arranged marriage was unsuccessful. The desired political consequencesfor the mutual relations between the two countries did not materialize, and on a personal level the union also proved to be unhappy. Sophia Magdalena was of aquiet and serious nature, and found it difficult to adjust to her husband's pleasure seeking court. She dutifully performed her ceremonial duties but did not carefor social life and was most comfortable in quiet surroundings with a few friends. However, she was liked by many in the Caps party, believing she was a symbolof virtue and religion. The relationship between the spouses improved somewhat in the years from 1775 to 1783, but subsequently deteriorated again.After herhusband was assassinated in 1792, Sophia Magdalena withdrew from public life, and led a quiet life as dowager queen until her death in 1813.Early lifePrincessSophie Magdalene was born on 3 July 1746 at her parents' residence Charlottenborg Palace, located at the large square, Kongens Nytorv, in central Copenhagen.She was the second child and first daughter of Crown Prince Frederick of Denmark and his first consort, the former Princess Louise of Great Britain, and wasnamed for her grandmother, Queen Sophie Magdalene. She received her own royal household at birth.Just one month after her birth, her grandfather KingChristian VI died, and Princess Sophie Magdalene's father ascended the throne as King Frederick V. She was the heir presumptive to the throne of Denmark fromthe death of her elder brother in 1747 until the birth of her second brother in 1749, and retained her status as next in line to the Danish throne after her brotheruntil her marriage. She was therefore often referred to as Crown Princess of Denmark.In the spring of 1751, at the age of five, she was betrothed to Gustav, theheir apparent to the throne of Sweden, and she was brought up to be the Queen of Sweden. The marriage was arranged by the Riksdag of the Estates, not by theSwedish royal family. The marriage was arranged as a way of creating peace between Sweden and Denmark, which had a long history of war and which hadstrained relations following the election of an heir to the Swedish throne in 1743, where the Danish candidate had lost. The engagement was met with some worryfrom Queen Louise, who feared that her daughter would be mistreated by the Queen of Sweden, Louisa Ulrika of Prussia. The match was known to be disliked bythe Queen of Sweden, who was in constant conflict with the Parliament; and who was known in Denmark for her pride, dominant personality and hatred ofanything Danish, which she demonstrated in her treatment of the Danish ambassadors in Stockholm.After the death of her mother early in her life, SophiaMagdalena was given a very strict and religious upbringing by her grandmother and her stepmother, who considered her father and brother to be morallydegenerate. She is noted to have had good relationships with her siblings, her grandmother and her stepmother; her father, however, often frightened her whenhe came before her drunk, and was reportedly known to set his dogs upon her, causing in her a lifelong phobia.In 1760, the betrothal was again brought up byDenmark, which regarded it as a matter of prestige. The negotiations were made between Denmark and the Swedish Queen, as King Adolf Frederick of Swedenwas never considered to be of any more than purely formal importance. Louisa Ulrika favored a match between Gustav and her niece Philippine ofBrandenburg-Schwedt instead, and claimed that she regarded the engagement to be void and forced upon her by Carl Gustaf Tessin. She negotiated withCatherine the Great and her brother Frederick the Great to create some political benefit for Denmark in exchange for a broken engagement. However, theSwedish public was very favorable to the match due to expectations Sophia Magdalena would be like the last Danish-born Queen of Sweden, Ulrika Eleonora ofDenmark, who was very loved for her kindness and charity. This view was supported by the Caps political party, which expected Sophia Magdalena to be anexample of a virtuous and religious representative of the monarchy in contrast to the haughty Louisa Ulrika. Fredrick V of Denmark was also eager to completethe match: \"His Danish Majesty could not have the interests of his daughter sacrificed because of the prejudices and whims of the Swedish Queen\". In 1764Crown Prince Gustav, who was at this point eager to free himself from his mother and form his own household, used the public opinion to state to his mother thathe wished to honor the engagement, and on 3 April 1766, the engagement was officially celebrated.When a portrait of Sophia Magdalena was displayed inStockholm, Louisa Ulrika commented: \"why Gustav, you seem to be already in love with her! She looks stupid\", after which she turned to Prince Charles andadded: \"She would suit you better!\"Crown PrincessOn 1 October 1766, Sophia Magdalena was married to Gustav by proxy at Christiansborg Palace in Copenhagenwith her brother Frederick, Hereditary Prince of Denmark, as representative of her groom. She traveled in the royal golden sloop from Kronborg in Denmark overÖresund to Hälsingborg in Sweden; when she was halfway, the Danish cannon salute ended, and the Swedish started to fire. In Helsingborg, she was welcomedby her brother-in-law Prince Charles of Hesse, who had crossed the sea shortly before her, the Danish envoy in Stockholm, Baron Schack, as well as Crown PrinceGustav himself. As she was about to set foot on ground, Gustav was afraid that she would fall, and he therefore reached her his hand with the words: \"Watch out,Madame!\", a reply which quickly became a topic of gossip at the Swedish court.The couple then traveled by land toward Stockholm, being celebrated on the way.She met her father-in-law the King and her brothers-in-law at Stäket Manor on 27 October, and she continued to be well-treated and liked by them all during herlife in Sweden. Thereafter, she met her mother-in-law the Queen and her sister-in-law at Säby Manor, and on the 28th, she was formally presented for theSwedish royal court at Drottningholm Palace. At this occasion, Countess Ebba Bonde noted that the impression about her was: \"By God, how beautiful she is!\",but that her appearance was affected by the fact that she had a: \"terrible fear of the Queen\".

He founded DEM Inc. (\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000), a popular design studio in Taiwan in July 2003 and has served as its chairman since then. He is also known for being the great-grandson of the late Republic of China (ROC) President Chiang Kai-shek and the grandson of late President Chiang Ching-kuo. His grandmother was Faina Ipatyevna Vakhreva, also known as Chiang Fang-liang.BiographyBorn to Chiang Ching-kuo's third son Chiang Hsiao-yung and his wife Chiang Fang Chi-yi, he is the eldest of three sons. Demos Chiang was raised in Taipei until his grandfather's death in 1988. After his grandfather's death, Chiang's parents sent him to live in Canada and later the United States, though he still retained his ROC nationality, it also started the departure from politics for Demo's parents. Chiang received a bachelor's degree in Information Management from New York University in late 1990s. After graduating, Chiang worked in the entertainment and fashion industries in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore, until founding DEM Inc. in 2003.In Spring 2001, Chiang began a relationship with local starlet Lin Heng-yi (\u0000\u0000\u0000), the daughter of Buddhist Tzu Chi General Hospital's then president Lin Hsin-jung (\u0000\u0000\u0000). The couple married in February 2003 and now have a daughter born in 2003 and a son born in 2005.Despite his pedigree and celebrity identity, Demos Chiang has repeatedly announced in recent years that he is not interested in political affairs. He has also accused both the Kuomintang and the Democratic Progressive Party for \"poor political tactics\", especially for utilizing Chiang Kai-shek and Chiang Ching-kuo as figures of worship or denigration. In contrast to other prominent members of the Chiang family, such as John Chiang and his mother Chiang Fang Chi-yi, Demos Chiang has expressed his belief that the controversies of his ancestors should be faced fairly and left to history. He started a personal blog in January 2008 to further explain his beliefs.Passage 2:Chiang Hsiao-wenChiang Hsiao-wen (Chinese: \u0000\u0000\u0000; also known as Alan Chiang; 14 December 1935 – 14 April 1989) was the eldest son of Chiang Ching-kuo, the President of the Republic of China in Taiwan from 1978 to 1988. His mother is Faina Ipatyevna Vakhreva, also known as Chiang Fang-liang. He had one younger sister, Hsiao-chang, and two younger brothers, Hsiao-wu and Hsiao-yung. He had two half-brothers, Winston Chang and John Chiang, with whom he shared the same father.He married Xu Nai Jin (Nancy) (Chinese: \u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000) in 1960 and had a daughter, Yomei, in 1961. He suffered brain damage in 1970 while being treated for diabetes. He died of throat cancer on April 14, 1989.Passage 3:John Adams (merchant)John Adams (1672 or 1673 – c. 1745) was an American-born Canadian merchant and member of the Nova Scotia Council. He was the father-in-law of Henry Newton.BiographyAdams was born in Boston in either 1672 or 1673 to John and Avis Adams. Growing up as a petty merchant, Adams joined Sir Charles Hobby's New England regiment, participating in the capture of Port-Royal in 1710. Shortly thereafter, Adams settled in Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia, returning to civilian life. There, he traded manufactured goods with the province's Acadian and Native Americans, and took up the role of a real estate agent and contractor. Adams joined the Executive Council of Nova Scotia on 28 April 1720, holding his position there for 20 years; the records show that few served as long as he did. He also held several other public positions in the province. Adams was appointed a notary public and deputy collector of customs for Annapolis Royal in 1725, and he was commissioned a justice of the peace in March 1727.Around the mid-1720s, Adams' poor eyesight began to fail, leading to his near-blindness in 1730. After this, he was less active in community activities and trade. Adams petitioned to the king for a pension several times, but failed. He blamed his disability on over-exposure to the sun during an Indian attack on Annapolis Royal in 1724. In December 1739, Lieutenant Governor Lawrence Armstrong died. With the absence of Major Mascarene to take Armstrong's place, Adams became the new president of the council and head of the civil government. (Alexander Cosby was also vying for the position.) In a meeting on 22 March 1740, with the return of Mascarene, the councilors declared that he was the council's rightful president. This turn of events led Adams to retire to Boston in late August or early September 1740, where he stayed for the rest of his life. He died some time after 1745.NotesPassage 4:Barthold A. Butenschøn Sr.Hans Barthold Andresen Butenschøn (27 December 1877 – 28 November 1971) was a Norwegian businessperson.He was born in Kristiania as a son of Nils August Andresen Butenschøn and Hanna Butenschøn, and grandson of Nicolay Andresen. Together with Mabel Anette Plahte (1877–1973, a daughter of Frithjof M. Plahte) he had the son Hans Barthold Andresen Butenschøn Jr. and was through him the father-in-law of Ragnhild Butenschøn and grandfather of Peter Butenschøn. Through his daughter Marie Claudine he was the father-in-law of Joakim Lehmkuhl, through his daughter Mabel Anette he was the father-in-law of Harald Astrup (a son of Sigurd Astrup) and through his daughter Nini Augusta he was the father-in-law of Ernst Torp.He took commerce school and agricultural school. He was hired in the family company N. A. Andresen & Co, and became a co-owner in 1910. He eventually became chief executive officer. The bank changed its name to Andresens Bank in 1913 and merged with Bergens Kreditbank in 1920. The merger was dissolved later in the 1920s. He was also a landowner, owning Nedre Skøyen farm and a lot of land in Enebakk. He chaired the board of Nydalens Compagnie from 1926, having not been a board member before that.He also chaired the supervisory council of Forsikringsselskapet Viking and Nedre Glommen salgsforening, and was a supervisory council member of Filharmonisk Selskap. He was a member of the gentlemen's club SK Fram since 1890, and was proclaimed a lifetime member in 1964.He was buried in Enebakk.Passage 5:Chiang Ching-kuoChiang Ching-kuo (27 April 1910 – 13 January 1988) was a politician of the Republic of China. The eldest and only biological son of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, he held numerous posts in the government of the Republic of China and ended martial law in 1987. He served as premier of the Republic of China between 1972 and 1978, and was president of the Republic of China from 1978 until his death in 1988.Born in Zhejiang, Ching-kuo was sent as a teenager to study in the Soviet Union during the First United Front in 1925, when his father's Nationalist Party and the Chinese Communist Party were in alliance. He attended university there and spoke Russian fluently, but when the Chinese Nationalists violently broke with the Communists, Stalin sent him to work in a steel factory in the Ural Mountains. There, Chiang met and married Faina Vakhreva. With war between China and Japan imminent in 1937, Stalin sent the couple to China. During the war, Ching-kuo's father gradually came to trust him, and gave him more and more responsibilities, including administration.After the Japanese surrender, Ching-kuo was given the job of ridding Shanghai of corruption, which he attacked with ruthless efficiency. The victory of the Communists in 1949 drove the Chiang family and their ROC government to retreat to Taiwan. Ching-kuo was first given control of the secret police, a position he retained until 1965 and in which he used arbitrary arrests and torture to ensure tight control as part of the White Terror. He then became Minister of Defense (1965–1969), Vice-Premier (1969–1972) and Premier (1972–1978). After his father's death in 1975, he took leadership of the Kuomintang (KMT) as chairman, and was elected president in 1978 and again in 1984.Under his tenure as president, the government of the Republic of China in Taiwan, while remaining authoritarian, became more open and tolerant of political dissent. Chiang courted Taiwanese voters, and reduced the preference for those who had come from the mainland after the war. Toward the end of his life, Chiang decided to relax government controls on the media and speech, and allowed Han born in Taiwan into positions of power, including his eventual successor Lee Teng-hui. He is the last president of the Republic of China to be born during the rule of the Qing dynasty. Ching-kuo was credited for his Soviet-inspired city planning policies, economic development with Ten Major Construction Projects in Taiwan, efforts to clamp down on corruption, as well as the democratic transition of Taiwan and gradually shifting away from the authoritarian dictatorial rule of his own father Chiang Kai-shek.BiographyEarly lifeThe son of Chiang Kai-shek and his first wife, Mao Fumei, Chiang Ching-kuo was born in Fenghua, Zhejiang, with the courtesy name of Jiànfēng (\u0000\u0000). He had an adopted brother, Chiang Wei-kuo. \"Ching\" literally means \"longitude\", while \"kuo\" means \"nation\"; in his brother's name, \"wei\" literally means \"parallel (of latitude)\". The names are inspired by the references in Chinese classics such as the Guoyu, in which \"to draw the longitudes and latitudes of the world\" is used as a metaphor for a person with great abilities, especially in managing a country.While the young Chiang Ching-kuo had a good relationship with his mother and grandmother (who were deeply rooted to their Buddhist faith), his relationship with his father was strict, utilitarian and often rocky. Chiang Kai-shek appeared to his son as an authoritarian figure, sometimes indifferent to his problems. Even in personal letters between the two, Chiang Kai-shek would sternly order his son to improve his Chinese calligraphy. From 1916 until 1919 Chiang Ching-kuo attended the \"Grammar School\" in Wushan in Hsikou. Then, in 1920, his father hired tutors to teach him the Four Books, the central texts of Confucianism. On 4 June 1921, Ching-kuo's grandmother died. What might have been an immense emotional loss was compensated for when Chiang Kai-shek moved the family to Shanghai. Chiang Ching-kuo's stepmother, historically known as the Chiang family's \"Shanghai Mother\", went with them. During this period Chiang Kai-shek concluded that Chiang Ching-kuo was a son to be taught, while Chiang Wei-kuo was a son to be loved.During his time in Shanghai, Chiang Ching-kuo was supervised by his father and made to write a weekly letter of 200–300 Chinese characters. Chiang Kai-shek also underlined the importance of classical books and of learning English, two areas he was hardly proficient in himself. On 20 March 1924, Chiang Ching-kuo was able to present to his now-nationally famous father a proposal concerning the grass-roots organization of the rural population in Hsikou. Chiang Ching-kuo planned to provide free education to allow people to read and to write at least 1000 characters. In his own words:I have a suggestion to make about the Wushan School, although I do not know if you can agree to it. My suggestion is that the school establish a night school for common people who cannot afford to go to the regular school. My school established a night school with great success. I can tell you something about the night school:Name: Wuschua School for the "} +{"doc_id":"doc_55","qid":"","text":"Passage 1:Maria Manuela, Princess of PortugalDona Maria Manuela (15 October 1527 – 12 July 1545) was the eldest daughter and second child of King John III of Portugal and his wife Catherine of Austria. She was Princess of Asturias and Duchess of Milan as the first wife of the future Philip II of Spain, and Princess of Portugal as heir presumptive to the Portuguese throne between 1527 and 1535.Early lifeMaria was born in Coimbra on 15 October 1527 and was one of the two children of John III to survive childhood. In her youth, Maria received a humanistic education that was considered typical for a princess of her time.Marriage and later lifeShe married her double first cousin Philip II of Spain on 12 November 1543 at Salamanca. As she was to be married to the Prince of Asturias, heir apparent to the Spanish crown, and being an Infanta of Portugal, their wedding became one of the most remarkable in the history of Spain due to its opulence. Contemporary writers have left detailed descriptions of the journey from Madrid to Badajoz to Salamanca to receive the princess and of the luxuries she was given by the Duke of Medina Sidonia in Badajoz.She gave birth to their son Carlos on 8 July 1545 in Valladolid, but died four days later due to a haemorrhage. She was initially buried in the Royal Chapel of Granada on 30 March 1549 but was later transferred to Royal Crypt of the Monastery of El Escorial.AncestryNotesPassage 2:Philip II of SpainPhilip II (21 May 1527 – 13 September 1598), also known as Philip the Prudent (Spanish: Felipe el Prudente), was King of Spain from 1556, King of Portugal from 1580, and King of Naples and Sicily from 1554 until his death in 1598.

From 1555, he was Lord of the Seventeen Provinces of the Netherlands.The son of Emperor Charles V and Isabella of Portugal, Philip inherited his father's Spanish Empire in 1556 and succeeded to the Portuguese throne in 1580 following a dynastic crisis. The Spanish conquests of the Inca Empire and of the Philippines, named in his honor by Ruy López de Villalobos, were completed during his reign. Under Philip II, Spain reached the height of its influence and power, sometimes called the Spanish Golden Age, and ruled territories in every continent then known to Europeans. Philip led a highly debt-leveraged regime, seeing state defaults in 1557, 1560, 1569, 1575, and 1596. This policy was partly the cause of the declaration of independence that created the Dutch Republic in 1581. Philip finished building the royal palace El Escorial in 1584.Deeply devout, Philip saw himself as the defender of Catholic Europe against the Ottoman Empire and the Protestant Reformation. In 1584, Philip signed the Treaty of Joinville funding the French Catholic League over the following decade in its civil war against the French Huguenots. In 1588, he sent an armada to invade Protestant England, with the strategic aim of overthrowing Elizabeth I and re-establishing Catholicism there, but his fleet was defeated in a skirmish at Gravelines (northern France) and then destroyed by storms as it circled the British Isles to return to Spain. The following year Philip's naval power was able to recover after the failed invasion of the English Armada into Spain. Two more Spanish armadas unsuccessfully tried to invade England in 1596 and 1597. The Anglo-Spanish war carried on until 1604, six years after Philip's death.Under Philip, an average of about 9,000 soldiers were recruited from Spain each year, rising to as many as 20,000 in crisis years. Between 1567 and 1574, nearly 43,000 men left Spain to fight in Italy and the Low Countries (modern-day Belgium, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands).Philip was described by the Venetian ambassador Paolo Fagolo in 1563 as \"slight of stature and round-faced, with pale blue eyes, somewhat prominent lip, and pink skin, but his overall appearance is very attractive. ... He dresses very tastefully, and everything that he does is courteous and gracious.\" Philip was married four times; all his wives predeceased him.Early life: 1527–1544A member of the House of Habsburg, Philip was the son of Emperor Charles V, who was also king of Castile and Aragon, and Isabella of Portugal. He was born in the Castilian capital of Valladolid on 21 May 1527 at Palacio de Pimentel, which was owned by Don Bernardino Pimentel (the first Marqués de Távara). The culture and courtly life of Castile were an important influence in his early life. He was entrusted to the royal governess Leonor de Mascareñas, and tutored by Juan Martínez Siliceo, the future archbishop of Toledo. Philip displayed reasonable aptitude in arts and letters alike. Later he would study with more illustrious tutors, including the humanist Juan Cristóbal Calvete de Estrella. Though Philip had good command over Latin, Spanish, and Portuguese, he never managed to equal his father, Charles V, as a polyglot. While Philip was also an archduke of Austria, he was seen as a foreigner in the Holy Roman Empire. The feeling was mutual. Philip felt himself to be culturally Spanish; he had been born in Castile and raised in the Castilian court, his native language was Spanish, and he preferred to live in the Spanish kingdoms. This ultimately impeded his succession to the imperial throne.In April 1528, when Philip was eleven months old, he received the oath of allegiance as heir to the crown from the Cortes of Castile. From that time until the death of his mother Isabella in 1539, he was raised in the royal court of Castile under the care of his mother and one of her Portuguese ladies, Doña Leonor de Mascarenhas, to whom he was devotedly attached. Philip was also close to his two sisters, María and Juana, and to his two pages, the Portuguese nobleman Rui Gomes da Silva and Luis de Requesens, the son of his governor Juan de Zúñiga. These men would serve Philip throughout their lives, as would Antonio Pérez, his secretary from 1541.Philip's martial training was undertaken by his governor, Juan de Zúñiga, a Castilian nobleman who served as the commendador mayor of Castile. The practical lessons in warfare were overseen by the Duke of Alba during the Italian Wars. Philip was present at the Siege of Perpignan in 1542 but did not see action as the Spanish army under Alba decisively defeated the besieging French forces under the Dauphin of France. On his way back to Castile, Philip received the oath of allegiance of the Aragonese Cortes at Monzón. His political training had begun a year previously under his father, who had found his son studious, grave, and prudent beyond his years, and having decided to train and initiate him in the government of the Spanish kingdoms. The king-emperor's interactions with his son during his stay in Castile convinced him of Philip's precocity in statesmanship, so he determined to leave in his hands the regency of the Spanish kingdoms in 1543. Philip, who had previously been made the Duke of Milan in 1540, began governing the most extensive empire in the world at the young age of sixteen.Charles left Philip with experienced advisors—notably the secretary Francisco de los Cobos and the general Duke of Alba. Philip was also left with extensive written instructions that emphasised \"piety, patience, modesty, and distrust\". These principles of Charles were gradually assimilated by his son, who would grow up to become grave, self-possessed and cautious. Personally, Philip spoke softly and had an icy self-mastery; in the words of one of his ministers, \"he had a smile that was cut by a sword\".Domestic policyAfter living in the Netherlands in the early years of his reign, Philip II decided to return to Castile. Although sometimes described as an absolute monarch, Philip faced many constitutional constraints on his authority, influenced by the growing strength of the bureaucracy. The Spanish Empire was not a single monarchy with one legal system but a federation of separate realms, each jealously guarding its own rights against those of the House of Habsburg. In practice, Philip often found his authority overruled by local assemblies and his word less effective than that of local lords.Philip carried several titles as heir to the Spanish kingdoms and empire, including Prince of Asturias. The newest constituent kingdom in the empire was Navarre, a realm invaded by Ferdinand II of Aragon mainly with Castilian troops (1512), and annexed to Castile with an ambiguous status (1513). War across Navarre continued until 1528 (Treaties of Madrid and Cambrai). Charles V proposed to end hostilities with King Henry II of Navarre—the legitimate monarch of Navarre—by marrying his son Philip to the heiress of Navarre, Jeanne III of Navarre. The marriage would provide a dynastic solution to instability in Navarre, making him king of all Navarre and a prince of independent Béarn, as well as lord of a large part of southern France. However, the French nobility under Francis I opposed the arrangement and successfully ended the prospects of marriage between the heirs of Habsburg and Albret in 1541.In his will, Charles stated his doubts over Navarre and recommended that his son give the kingdom back. Both King Charles and his son Philip II failed to abide by the elective (contractual) nature of the Crown of Navarre and took the kingdom for granted. This sparked mounting tension not only with King Henry II and Queen Jeanne III of Navarre but also with the Parliament of the Spanish Navarre (Cortes, The Three States) and the Diputación for breach of the realm specific laws (fueros)—violation of the pactum subjection is as ratified by Ferdinand. Tensions in Navarre came to a head in 1592 after several years of disagreements over the agenda of the intended parliamentary session.In November 1592, the Parliament (Cortes) of Aragón revolted against another breach of the realm-specific laws, so the Attorney General (Justicia) of the kingdom, Juan de Lanuza, was executed on Philip II's orders, with his secretary Antonio Perez taking exile in France. In Navarre, the major strongholds of the kingdom were garrisoned by troops alien to the kingdom (Castilians) in a conspicuous violation of the local laws, and the Parliament had long been refusing to pledge loyalty to Philip II's son and heir apparent without a proper ceremony. On 20 November 1592 a ghostly Parliament session was called, pushed by Philip II, who had arrived in Pamplona at the head of an unspecified military force, and with one only point on his agenda—attendance to the session was kept blank on the minutes: unlawful appointments of trusted Castilian officials and imposition of his son as the future king of Navarre at the Santa Maria Cathedral. A ceremony was held before the bishop of Pamplona (22 November), but its customary procedure and terms were altered. Protests erupted in Pamplona, but they were quelled.Philip II also grappled with the problem of the large Morisco population in the Spanish kingdoms, who had been forcibly converted to Christianity by his predecessors. In 1569, the Morisco Revolt broke out in the southern province of Granada in defiance of attempts to suppress Moorish customs. Philip ordered the expulsion of the Moriscos from Granada and their dispersal to other provinces.Despite its immense dominions, the Spanish kingdoms had a sparse population that yielded a limited income to the crown (in contrast to France, for example, which was much more heavily populated). Philip faced major difficulties in raising taxes, and the collection was largely farmed out to local "} +{"doc_id":"doc_56","qid":"","text":"Passage 1:Maurice FitzGerald, 2nd Earl of DesmondMaurice FitzMaurice FitzGerald, 2nd Earl of Desmond (d. 1358) (Maurice Óg) was the son of MauriceFitzGerald, 1st Earl of Desmond, and his first wife, Catherine de Burgh.

In 1606 Feilding married Susan, daughter of Sir George Villiers and sister of George Villiers, 1st Duke of Buckingham, who was ennobled as the favourite ofKing James I. With the rise of Villiers, both Feilding and his wife received various offices and dignities.Knighted on 4 March 1607, William Feilding was createdBaron and Viscount Feilding in 1620. Two years later he was appointed Master of the Great Wardrobe and Custos Rotulorum of Warwickshire and Earl of Denbighon 14 September 1622. He attended Prince Charles on the Spanish adventure, served as admiral in the unsuccessful Cadiz Expedition in 1625, and commandedthe disastrous attempt upon Rochelle in 1628, becoming the same year a member of the Council of war, and in 1633 a Member of the Council of Wales and theMarches.In 1631, Lord Denbigh ventured to the East as erstwhile ambassador to the court of Safi of Persia. He visited the East India Company's fledgling Indianpossessions where, in 1632, Lord Denbigh met with the Mogul emperor. He returned to England in late 1633.On 6 July 1641 a barge carrying Feilding, hisdaughter Elizabeth, Lady Kinalmeaky, Lady Cornwallis, and Anne Kirke capsized while shooting the rapids at London Bridge. Kirke was drowned but the otherpassengers were rescued.On the outbreak of the English Civil War he served under Prince Rupert of the Rhine and was present at the Battle of Edgehill. On 3 April1643 during Rupert's attack on Birmingham he was wounded and died from the effects on the 8th, being buried at Monks Kirby in Warwickshire. His courage,unselfishness and devotion to duty are much praised by Edward Hyde, Earl of Clarendon.FamilySir William and his wife, Susan Villiers, had six children:BasilFeilding, 2nd Earl of Denbigh (c. 1608–1675)George Feilding, 1st Earl of Desmond (c. 1614–1665)Lady Mary Feilding (1613–1638), married James Hamilton, 1stDuke of Hamilton.Lady Anne Feilding (died 1636), married Baptist Noel, 3rd Viscount CampdenElizabeth Feilding, Countess of Guildford (died 1667), marriedLewis Boyle, 1st Viscount Boyle.Lady Henrietta Marie Feilding (died young)His daughter, Lady Mary Feilding (1613–1638), also known as Margaret, was marriedto James Hamilton, 1st Duke of Hamilton, one of the heirs to the throne of Scotland after the descendants of James VI (James I of England). Her portrait waspainted by Anthony van Dyck and Henry Pierce Bone. His eldest son, Basil, inherited the title of Earl of Denbigh. His second son, George Feilding, was awardedthe right to the title of Earl of Desmond at the same time as his father was made Earl of Denbigh in 1622. George Feilding was around eight years old at the time.Earl of Desmond was a lesser title than Earl of Denbigh, being a title in the Irish, rather than English, peerage.AncestryNotesPassage 3:George Feilding, 1st Earlof DesmondGeorge Feilding, 1st Earl of Desmond (c. 1614 – 31 January 1665) was an English aristocrat, awarded the title of Earl of Desmond in the Peerage ofIreland by Charles I of England under the terms of a letter patent issued by James I of England.George Feilding was the second son of William Feilding, 1st Earlof Denbigh, and his wife, the former Susan Villiers. Susan was the sister of George Villiers, 1st Duke of Buckingham, confidant and lover of James I, and herfamily were showered with titles and preferment as a result of George Villiers' immense influence.In 1622, when George Feilding was around 8 years old, James Icreated him Baron Fielding, of Lecaghe in the County of Tipperary, and Viscount Callan, of Callan in the County of Kilkenny. At the same time, George was giventhe right to the title Earl of Desmond as and when the previous holder of that title, Richard Preston, died without a male heir. Preston had also been a favouriteand probably a lover of James I; he had a daughter who, the plan was, George Feilding would marry, but this did not happen. In 1628 Preston died and Georgeinherited the title.All three titles were in the Peerage of Ireland. Earl of Desmond is an ancient Irish title, the 1622 creation was its 4th, and current,creation.George married Bridget Stanhope, who was the daughter of Sir Michael Stanhope and Elizabeth Read and a sister-in-law of George Berkeley, 8th BaronBerkeley.The couple had several children:Lady Frances Feilding (died 1680), who married Sir Edward Gage, 1st Baronet, as his third wifeLady Mary Feilding (died1691), who married Sir Charles Gawdy, 1st BaronetLady Bridget Feilding (died 1669), who married Arthur ParsonsWilliam Feilding, 2nd Earl of Desmond, later 3rdEarl of DenbighHon.

He was the son of Maurice FitzGerald, 1st Earl of Desmond, by his third wifeAveline (Eleanor), daughter of Nicholas FitzMaurice, 3rd Lord of Kerry. He was half-brother to Maurice FitzGerald, 2nd Earl of Desmond.Maurice Fitzgerald, 2ndEarl of Desmond, would have been followed by Gerald's older brother, Nicholas, but Nicholas was described as \"an idiot\", and so was passed over for the earldom.Because of this, some older histories list Gerald as the 4th Earl.LifeIn 1356 he was brought to England as a hostage for his father's good behaviour, but as hisfather died that same year, he was soon released. Three years later, he succeeded his brother Maurice, who had died without male heirs, and became the 3rd Earlof Desmond.King Edward III confirmed Gerald in his large estates in Munster, provided that he marry Eleanor Butler, daughter of the Justiciar, James Butler, 2ndEarl of Ormond. Gerald did so, but did not make peace with Ormond, nor adopt English ways and customs as expected.Career and poetryAccording to AlfredWebb:\"[He was] surnamed 'Gerald the Poet', [and] succeeded to the estates and honours of the family. He married, by the King's command, Eleanor, daughter ofJames, 2nd Earl of Ormond, who brought with her as her portion the barony of Inchiquin in Imokelly. Gerald was Lord Justice of Ireland, 1367. In 1398 hedisappeared, and is fabled to live beneath the waters of Lough Gur, near Kilmallock, on whose banks he appears once every seven years. O'Donovan quotes thefollowing concerning his character: 'A nobleman of wonderful bountie, mirth, cheerfulness in conversation, charitable in his deeds, easy of access, a witty andingenious composer of Irish poetry, and a learned and profound chronicler; and, in fine, one of the English nobility that had Irish learning and professors thereofin greatest reverence of all the English in Ireland, died penitently after receipt of the sacraments of the holy church in proper form.' Fragments of Anglo-Normanverse attributed to him, known as Proverbs of the Earl of Desmond, survive.\"Duanaire Ghearóid Iarla (‘'The Poem-Book of Earl Gerald’') is preserved in afifteenth-century manuscript, the Book of Fermoy. In addition, nine of his poems are preserved in the Book of the Dean of Lismore. Duanaire Ghearóid Iarla waspublished by Gearóid Mac Niocaill in Studia Hibernica 3 (1963): 7-59.In 1367 Desmond was made Lord Chief Justice of Ireland, but was soon replaced by SirWilliam de Windsor. In 1370 Brian O'Brien of Thomond expelled his cousin Turlough. Desmond attempted to reinstate him. Brian marched on Limerick, anddefeated Desmond, burning the city and Desmond's lands and imprisoning him.While in prison, Gerald wrote poetry in Irish, most famously the poem Mairg adeirolc ris na mnáibh (Speak not ill of womankind). Also an accomplished poet in Norman French, Gerald was instrumental in the move by the Desmond Geraldinestowards greater use of the Irish language.In legendIn legend, Gerald's conception was the result of his father's romantic relationship with, or rape of, the goddessÁine, a legend that draws upon a pre-existing Celtic legend about the King of Munster Ailill Aulom raping this deity, updating it with themes drawn from theFrancophone courtly love poetry of Continental Europe, in particular the motif of the man who falls in love with a swan maiden. The Geraldine claim to anassociation with Áine is typical of the family's Gaelicisation.After his disappearance in 1398, another legend grew up that Gerald sleeps in a cave beside (or under)Lough Gur, and will someday awaken and ride forth on a silver-shod steed to rule again in Desmond, – one of the many worldwide versions of the King asleep inmountain mythologisation of heroes.Marriage and issueIn 1359 Gerald married Eleanor (or Ellen) Butler, daughter of James Butler, 2nd Earl of Ormond. She diedin 1404.

He was the second son of Cleombrotus I, and grandfather of Areus I, who succeeded him. Although he reigned for more than 60 years, his life is completely unknown, apart from a victory at the Pythian Games in 336 BC. Several theories have been suggested by modern historians to explain such inactivity, but none has gained consensus.Life and reignCleomenes was the second son of king Cleombrotus I (r. 380–371), who belonged to the Agiad dynasty, one of the two royal families of Sparta (the other being the Eurypontids). Cleombrotus died fighting Thebes at the famous Battle of Leuctra in 371. His eldest son Agesipolis II succeeded him, but he died soon after in 370. Cleomenes' reign was instead exceptionally long, lasting 60 years and 10 months according to Diodorus of Sicily, a historian of the 1st century BC. In a second statement, Diodorus nevertheless tells that Cleomenes II reigned 34 years, but he confused him with his namesake Cleomenes I (r. 524–490).Despite the outstanding length of his reign, very little can be said about Cleomenes. He has been described by modern historians as a \"nonentity\". Perhaps that the apparent weakness of Cleomenes inspired the negative opinion of the hereditary kingship at Sparta expressed by Aristotle in his Politics (written between 336 and 322). However, Cleomenes may have focused on internal politics within Sparta, because military duties were apparently given to the Eurypontid Agesilaus II (r. 400–c.360), Archidamus III (r. 360–338), and Agis III (r. 338–331). As the Spartans notably kept their policies secret from foreign eyes, it would explain the silence of ancient sources on Cleomenes. Another explanation is that his duties were assumed by his elder son Acrotatus, described as a military leader by Diodorus, who mentions him in the aftermath of the Battle of Megalopolis in 331, and again in 315.Cleomenes' only known deed was his chariot race victory at the Pythian Games in Delphi in 336. In the following autumn, he gave the small sum of 510 drachmas for the reconstruction of the Temple of Apollo at Delphi, which had been destroyed by an earthquake in 373. Cleomenes might have made this gift as a pretext to go to Delphi and engage in informal diplomacy with other Greek states, possibly to discuss the consequences of the recent assassination of the Macedonian king Philip II.One short witticism of Cleomenes regarding cockfighting is preserved in the Moralia, written by the philosopher Plutarch in the early 2nd century AD:Somebody promised to give to Cleomenes cocks that would die fighting, but he retorted, \"No, don't, but give me those that kill fighting.\"As Acrotatus died before Cleomenes, the latter's grandson Areus I succeeded him while still very young, so Cleomenes' second son Cleonymus acted as regent until Areus' majority. Some modern scholars also give Cleomenes a daughter named Archidamia, who played an important role during Pyrrhus' invasion of the Peloponnese, but the age difference makes it unlikely.Passage 7:Obata ToramoriObata Toramori (\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000, 1491 – July 14, 1561) was Japanese samurai warrior of the Sengoku Period.

Ekaterína I Alekséyevna Mikháylova; born Polish: Marta Helena Skowrońska, Russian:Ма́рта Самуи́ловна Скавро́нская, tr. Márta Samuílovna Skavrónskaya; 15 April [O.S. 5 April] 1684 – 17 May [O.S. 6 May] 1727) was the second wife andempress consort of Peter the Great, and empress regnant of Russia from 1725 until her death in 1727.Life as a servantThe life of Catherine I was said by Voltaireto be nearly as extraordinary as that of Peter the Great himself. Only uncertain and contradictory information is available about her early life. Said to have beenborn on 15 April 1684 (o.s. 5 April), she was originally named Marta Helena Skowrońska. Marta was the daughter of Samuel Skowroński (later spelled SamuilSkavronsky), a Roman Catholic farmer from the eastern parts of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, born to Minsker parents. In 1680 he married DorotheaHahn at Jakobstadt. Her mother is named in at least one source as Elizabeth Moritz, the daughter of a Baltic German woman and there is debate as to whetherMoritz's father was a Swedish officer. It is likely that two stories were conflated, and Swedish sources suggest that the Elizabeth Moritz story is probably incorrect.Some biographies state that Marta's father was a gravedigger and handyman, while others speculate that he was a runaway landless serf.Marta's parents died ofthe plague around 1689, leaving five children. According to one of the popular versions, at the age of three Marta was taken by an aunt and sent to Marienburg(the present-day Alūksne in Latvia, near the border with Estonia and Russia) where she was raised by Johann Ernst Glück, a Lutheran pastor and educator whowas the first to translate the Bible into Latvian. In his household she served as a lowly servant, likely either a scullery maid or washerwoman. No effort was madeto teach her to read and write and she remained illiterate throughout her life.Marta was considered a very beautiful young girl, and there are accounts that FrauGlück became fearful that she would become involved with her son. At the age of seventeen, she was married off to a Swedish dragoon, Johan Cruse or JohannRabbe, with whom she remained for eight days in 1702, at which point the Swedish troops were withdrawn from Marienburg. When Russian forces captured thetown, Pastor Glück offered to work as a translator, and Field Marshal Boris Sheremetev agreed to his proposal and took him to Moscow.There are unsubstantiatedstories that Marta worked briefly in the laundry of the victorious regiment, and also that she was presented in her undergarments to Brigadier General RudolphFelix Bauer, later the Governor of Estonia, to be his mistress. She may have worked in the household of his superior, Sheremetev. It is not known whether shewas his mistress, or household maid. She travelled back to the Russian court with Sheremetev's army.Afterwards she became part of the household of PrinceAlexander Menshikov, who was the best friend of Peter the Great of Russia. Anecdotal sources suggest that she was purchased by him. Whether the two of themwere lovers is disputed, as Menshikov was already engaged to Darya Arsenyeva, his future wife. It is clear that Menshikov and Marta formed a lifetime alliance.Itis possible that Menshikov, who was quite jealous of Peter's attentions and knew his tastes, wanted to procure a mistress on whom he could rely. In any case, in1703, while visiting Menshikov at his home, Peter met Marta. In 1704, she was well established in the Tsar's household as his mistress, and gave birth to a son,Peter. In 1703, she converted to Orthodoxy and took the new name Catherine Alexeyevna (Yekaterina Alexeyevna). She and Darya Menshikova accompaniedPeter and Menshikov on their military excursions.Marriage and family lifeThough no record exists, Catherine and Peter are described as having married secretlybetween 23 October and 1 December 1707 in Saint Petersburg. They had twelve children, two of whom survived into adulthood, Anna (born 1708) and Elizabeth(born 1709).Peter had moved the capital to St. Petersburg in 1703. While the city was being built he lived in a three-room log cabin with Catherine, where she didthe cooking and caring for the children, and he tended a garden as though they were an ordinary couple. The relationship was the most successful of Peter's lifeand a great number of letters exist demonstrating the strong affection between Catherine and Peter. As a person she was very energetic, compassionate,charming, and always cheerful. She was able to calm Peter in his frequent rages and was often called in to do so.Catherine went with Peter on his Pruth Campaign"} +{"doc_id":"doc_59","qid":"","text":"Passage 1:Henry KrauseHenry J. \"Red\" Krause, Jr. (August 28, 1913 – February 20, 1987) was an American football offensive lineman in the National Football League for the Brooklyn Dodgers and the Washington Redskins.

'Servant of Muttalib') was the fourth chief of the Quraysh tribal confederation. He was the grandfather of the Islamic prophet Muhammad.Early lifeHis father was Hashim ibn 'Abd Manaf,: 81 the progenitor of the distinguished Banu Hashim, a clan of the Quraysh tribe of Mecca. They claimed descent from Ismā'īl and Ibrāhīm. His mother was Salma bint Amr, from the Banu Najjar, a clan of the Khazraj tribe in Yathrib (later called Madinah). Hashim died while doing business in Gaza, before Abd al-Muttalib was born.: 81 His real name was \"Shaiba\" meaning 'the ancient one' or 'white-haired' because of the streak of white through his jet-black hair, and is sometimes also called Shaybah al-\u0000amd (\"The white streak of praise\").: 81–82 After his father's death he was raised in Yathrib with his mother and her family until about the age of eight, when his uncle Muttalib ibn Abd Manaf went to see him and asked his mother Salmah to entrust Shaybah to his care. Salmah was unwilling to let her son go and Shaiba refused to leave his mother without her consent. Mu\u0000\u0000alib then pointed out that the possibilities Yathrib had to offer were incomparable to Mecca. Salmah was impressed with his arguments, so she agreed to let him go. Upon first arriving in Mecca, the people assumed the unknown child was Muttalib's servant and started calling him 'Abd al-Muttalib (\"servant of Muttalib\").: 85–86Chieftain of Hashim clanWhen Mu\u0000\u0000alib died, Shaiba succeeded him as the chief of the Hāshim clan. Following his uncle Al-Mu\u0000\u0000alib, he took over the duties of providing the pilgrims with food and water, and carried on the practices of his forefathers with his people. He attained such eminence as none of his forefathers enjoyed; his people loved him and his reputation was great among them.: 61 'Umar ibn Al-Kha\u0000\u0000āb's grandfather Nufayl ibn Abdul Uzza arbitrated in a dispute between 'Abdul-Mu\u0000\u0000alib and \u0000arb ibn Umayyah, Abu Sufyan's father, over the custodianship of the Kaaba. Nufayl gave his verdict in favour of 'Abdul-Mu\u0000\u0000alib. Addressing \u0000arb ibn Umayyah, he said:Why do you pick a quarrel with a person who is taller than you in stature; more imposing than you in appearance; more refined than you in intellect; whose progeny outnumbers yours and whose generosity outshines yours in lustre? Do not, however, construe this into any disparagement of your good qualities which I highly appreciate. You are as gentle as a lamb, you are renowned throughout Arabia for the stentorian tones of your voice, and you are an asset to your tribe.Discovery of Zam Zam Well'Abdul-Mu\u0000\u0000alib said that while sleeping in the sacred enclosure, he had dreamed he was ordered to dig at the worship place of the Quraysh between the two deities Isāf and Nā'ila. There he would find the Zamzam Well, which the Jurhum tribe had filled in when they left Mecca. The Quraysh tried to stop him digging in that spot, but his son Al-\u0000ārith stood guard until they gave up their protests. After three days of digging, 'Abdul-Mu\u0000\u0000alib found traces of an ancient religious well and exclaimed, \"Allahuakbar!\" Some of the Quraysh disputed his claim to sole rights over water, then one of them suggested that they go to a female shaman who lived afar. It was said that she could summon jinns and that she could help them decide who was the owner of the well. So, 11 people from the 11 tribes went on the expedition. They had to cross the desert to meet the priestess but then they got lost. There was a lack of food and water and people started to lose hope of ever getting out. One of them suggested that they dig their own graves and if they died, the last person standing would bury the others. So all began digging their own graves and just as Abdul-Mu\u0000\u0000alib started digging, water spewed out from the hole he dug and everyone became overjoyed. It was then and there decided that Abdul-Muttalib was the owner of the Zam Zam well. Thereafter he supplied pilgrims to the Kaaba with Zam Zam water, which soon eclipsed all the other wells in Mecca because it was considered sacred.: 86–89 : 62–65The Year of the ElephantAccording to Muslim tradition, the Ethiopian governor of Yemen, Abrahah al-Ashram, envied the Kaaba's reverence among the Arabs and, being a Christian, he built a cathedral on Sana'a and ordered pilgrimage be made there.: 21 The order was ignored and someone desecrated (some saying in the form of defecation: 696 note 35 ) the cathedral. Abrahah decided to avenge this act by demolishing the Kaaba and he advanced with an army towards Mecca.: 22–23 There were thirteen elephants in Abrahah's army: 99 : 26 and the year came to be known as 'Ām al-Fīl (the Year of the Elephant), beginning a trend for reckoning the years in Arabia which was used until 'Umar ibn Al-Kha\u0000\u0000āb replaced it with the Islamic Calendar in 638 CE (17 AH), with the first year of the Islamic Calendar being 622 CE.When news of the advance of Abrahah's army came, the Arab tribes of Quraysh, Kinānah, Khuzā'ah and Hudhayl united in defence of the Kaaba. A man from the \u0000imyar tribe was sent by Abrahah to advise them that he only wished to demolish the Kaaba and if they resisted, they would be crushed. \"Abdul-Mu\u0000\u0000alib told the Meccans to seek refuge in the nearest high hills while he, with some leading members of Quraysh, remained within the precincts of the Kaaba. Abrahah sent a dispatch inviting 'Abdul-Mu\u0000\u0000alib to meet him and discuss matters. When 'Abdul-Mu\u0000\u0000alib left the meeting he was heard saying, \"The Owner of this House is its Defender, and I am sure He will save it from the attack of the adversaries and will not dishonour the servants of His House.\": 24–26 It is recorded that when Abrahah's forces neared the Kaaba, Allah commanded small birds (abābīl) to destroy Abrahah's army, raining down pebbles on it from their beaks. Abrahah was seriously wounded and retreated towards Yemen but died on the way.: 26–27 This event is referred to in the following Qur'anic chapter:Have you not seen how your Lord dealt with the owners of the Elephant?Did He not make their treacherous plan go astray?And He sent against them birds in flocks, striking them with stones of baked clay, so He rendered them like straw eaten up.Most Islamic sources place the event around the year that Muhammad was born, 570 CE, though other scholars place it one or two decades earlier. A tradition attributed to Ibn Shihab al-Zuhri in the musannaf of \u0000Abd al-Razzaq al-San\u0000ani places it before the birth of Muhammad's father.Sacrificing his son AbdullahAl-Harith was 'Abdul-Mu\u0000\u0000alib's only son at the time he dug the Zamzam Well.: 64 When the Quraysh tried to help him in the digging, he vowed that if he were to have ten sons to protect him, he would sacrifice one of them to Allah at the Kaaba. Later, after nine more sons had been born to him, he told them he must keep the vow. The divination arrows fell upon his favourite son Abdullah. The Quraysh protested 'Abdul-Mu\u0000\u0000alib's intention to sacrifice his son and demanded that he sacrifice something else instead. 'Abdul-Mu\u0000\u0000alib agreed to consult a \"sorceress with a familiar spirit\". She told him to cast lots between Abdullah and ten camels. If Abdullah were chosen, he had to add ten more camels, and keep on doing the same until his Lord accepted the camels in Abdullah's place. When the number of camels reached 100, the lot fell on the camels. ' Abdul-Mu\u0000\u0000alib confirmed this by repeating the test three times. Then the camels were sacrificed, and Abdullah was spared.: 66–68FamilyWivesAbd al-Muttalib had six known wives.Sumra bint Jundab of the Hawazin tribe.Lubnā bint Hājar of the Khuza'a tribe.Fatima bint Amr of the Makhzum clan of the Quraysh tribe.Halah bint Wuhayb of the Zuhrah clan of the Quraysh tribe.Natīla bint Janab of the Namir tribe.Mumanna'a bint Amr of the Khuza'a tribe.ChildrenAccording to Ibn Hisham, \u0000Abd al-Mu\u0000\u0000alib had ten sons and six daughters.: 707–708 note 97 However, Ibn Sa'd lists twelve sons.: 99–101 By Sumra bint Jundab:Al-\u0000ārith.: 708 He was the firstborn and he died before his father.: 99 Quthum.: 100 He is not listed by Ibn Hisham.By Fatima bint Amr:Al-Zubayr.: 707 He was a poet and a chief; his father made a will in his favour.: 99 He died before Islam, leaving two sons and daughters.: 101 : 34–35 Abu Talib, born as Abd Manaf,: 99 : 707 father of the future Caliph Ali.

Wallis's newly formedproduction company, Rossen made one for Columbia Pictures, another for Wallis and most of his later films for his own companies, usually in collaboration withColumbia.Rossen was a member of the American Communist Party from 1937 to about 1947, and believed the Party was \"dedicated to social causes of the sortthat we as poor Jews from New York were interested in.\"He ended all relations with the Party in 1949. Rossen was twice called before the House Un-AmericanActivities Committee (HUAC), in 1951 and in 1953. He exercised his Fifth Amendment rights at his first appearance, refusing to state whether he had ever been aCommunist. As a result, he found himself blacklisted by Hollywood studios as well as unable to renew his passport. At his second appearance he named 57 peopleas current or former Communists and his blacklisting ended. In order to repair finances he produced his next film, Mambo, in Italy in 1954. While The Hustler in1961 was a great success, conflicts on the set of Lilith in 1964 so disillusioned him that it was his last film before his death two years later.BiographyEarly life andcareerRobert Rosen was born on March 16, 1908, and raised on the Lower East Side of New York City. His parents were Russian Jewish immigrants and his father,Philip Rosen, was a house painter. As a youth, he attended New York University, hustled pool and fought some prizefights - the latter two providing crucialbackground for his two greatest films, The Hustler and Body and Soul, respectively. He changed his name from \"Rosen\" to \"Rossen\" in 1931.He started histheatrical career as a stage manager and director in stock and off-Broadway productions, mainly in the social and radical theaters that flourished in New York inthe early and mid-1930s, as did John Huston, Elia Kazan and Joseph Losey. In 1932 Rossen directed John Wexley's Steel, about labor agitation, and RichardMaibaum's The Tree, about a lynching. A year later Rossen directed Birthright, in which Maibaum attacked Nazism, which had just triumphed in Germany with thedictatorship of Adolf Hitler in 1933.In 1935, Rossen wrote and directed his first play, The Body Beautiful, a comedy about a naive burlesque dancer. Although theplay closed after four performances, Warner Bros. director Mervyn LeRoy was so impressed that he signed Rossen to a personal screenwriting contract.MarriageIn1936, Rossen married Susan Siegal; the couple had three children: Carol, Stephen and Ellen.Work in HollywoodFor his first credit in Hollywood, in 1937 Rossenco-wrote with Abem Finkel a script based on the prosecution of crime lord Lucky Luciano and eventually titled Marked Woman. Although some of Warner Bros.management saw Rossen as an unknown quantity, the result won praise from both Jack L. Warner and the Daily Worker. Rossen's first solo script was for TheyWon't Forget (1937), a fictionalized account of the lynching of Leo Frank, featuring Lana Turner in her debut performance.Dust Be My Destiny, co-written in 1939by Rossen, is the story of a fugitive from justice who is eventually acquitted with help from an attorney and a journalist, the latter arguing that \"a million boys allover the country\" were in a similar plight. Warner Bros. then ordered producer Lou Edelman to cut the script, adding that \"This is the story of two people – not agroup. It is an individual problem – not a national one.\" Rossen was one of three writers on the gangster melodrama The Roaring Twenties, released in 1939. Aremake of the 1932 play and film Life Begins was written in 1939 by Rossen and released in 1940 as A Child Is Born. The plot recounted the experiences of sixexpectant mothers, and there was little scope to modify the original.The Sea Wolf, released in 1941, was based on Jack London's novel. Although the film had astrong cast and production, Rossen's re-draft of the script may be the greatest influence on the film. While the character of Captain Larsen remained both victimand oppressed in a capitalist hierarchy, he became a symbol of fascism. He split the novel's idealist hero into an intellectual bosun and a rebellious seaman.Warner Bros. cut many political points during production.Blues in the Night, written by Rossen and two colleagues and released in 1941, shows a group of jazzmusicians traveling in the Depression. Their informal methods represent working-class culture rather than the commercialized music of the big bands. However,The New York Times' reviewer thought the soundtrack was \"about all the film has to offer\", and Warner was disappointed with the sales.After the attack on PearlHarbor on December 7, 1941, the Screen Writers Guild set up on December 8, 1941, the Hollywood Writers Mobilization, a body to organize writers for the wareffort. Rossen served as the body's chairman until 1944 and advocated the opening of a Second Front to support West European resistance against the Nazis. Hisearnings were much greater than in 1937. However, his work for Hollywood Writers Mobilization and for the Communist Party forced him to abandon some partlydeveloped film projects, including The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, which John Huston eventually directed in 1948.In 1945 Rossen joined a picket line againstWarner Bros, making an enemy of Jack Warner. Rossen signed a contract with an independent production company formed by Hal Wallis, who had previouslybeen Warner Bros.' head of production. However Rossen wrote only two full scripts for this company, The Strange Love of Martha Ivers in 1946 and Desert Fury in1947. In The Strange Love of Martha Ivers Rossen used a short story by John Patrick to introduce the main plot, which was set 15 years later and which Rossenwrote. The relationship between Rossen and Wallis broke down when Rossen received offers from other production companies.Dick Powell had been a crooner butwas making a new career as a dramatic actor. When Columbia Pictures agreed to make Johnny O'Clock for him in 1947, Powell successfully campaigned forRossen to direct, and this became Rossen's debut in directing. As this crime melodrama proved a modest success, Roberts Productions signed Rossen to directAbraham Polonsky's script of Body and Soul, described by Bob Thomas as \"possibly the best prizefight film ever made.\" Rossen preferred an ending in which thehero wins a boxing match and then is killed by a gangster, but Polonsky insisted on his own ending, in which the hero escapes into obscurity before the fight.Following the success of Body and Soul, Rossen formed his own production company and signed with Columbia Pictures a contract that gave him wide autonomyover every second film that he made at the studio.All the King's Men (1949) was based on the novel of the same name by Robert Penn Warren, which in turn wasbased on the career of politician Huey Long. Rossen introduced a new concept, that the defenders of the ordinary people can in turn become the new exploiters.As a requirement for his participation in the film, Rossen had to write to Columbia's Harry Cohn saying that he was no longer a Communist Party member.

She was notable forbeing the mother of Mira Marković, posthumously making her the mother-in-law of Serbian president Slobodan Milošević.Personal lifeHer cousin was DavorjankaPaunović who was the personal secretary of Communist Party of Yugoslavia leader Josip Broz Tito.Passage 2:Beatrice of ProvenceBeatrice of Provence (c. 1229 –23 September 1267), was ruling Countess of Provence and Forcalquier from 1245 until her death, as well as Countess of Anjou and Maine, Queen of Sicily andNaples by marriage to Charles I of Naples.She was the fourth and youngest daughter of Ramon Berenguer IV, Count of Provence and Forcalquier by his wifeBeatrice, in turn daughter of Count Thomas I of Savoy and Margaret of Geneva.LifeInheritance of Provence and ForcalquierBeatrice, like her sisters, mother andgrandmother was known for her beauty. A description of Beatrice said she\"set men's hearts thumping and the fingers of troubadours to fevered twanging of lyres.Two of the balladists at the Provencal court were temporarily deprived of reason for love of the entrancing Beatrice\"All Ramon Berenguer IV's three olderdaughters married to titles of status: The eldest, Margaret, was Queen of France by marriage to Louis IX; the second, Eleanor, was Queen of England by marriageto Henry III, and the third, Sanchia, was titular Queen of Germany by marriage to Henry's brother Richard, Earl of Cornwall. King Louis IX's marriage to Margarethad been arranged by his mother, Blanche of Castile, with the hopes that he would inherit Provence and Forcalquier when her father died.In his will signed on 20June 1238 at Sisteron, Ramon Berenguer IV unexpectedly left the Counties of Provence and Forcalquier to his youngest and still unmarried daughter,Beatrice.Countess of Provence and ForcalquierRamon Berenguer IV died on 19 August 1245 at Aix-en-Provence, and according to his will, Beatrice becameCountess of Provence and Forcalquier in her own right, with the provision that the Dowager Countess could retain the usufruct of the County of Provence for herlifetime.Now, Beatrice became one of the most attractive heiresses in medieval Europe, and soon several suitors appeared for her hand. Firstly, the neighboringrulers of her domains began their claims: the twice-divorced Raymond VII, Count of Toulouse and King James I of Aragon, who, despite being married to Violantof Hungary, invaded Provence and seized the residence of the countess. In addition, the thrice-widowed Frederick II, Holy Roman Emperor, dispatched theimperial navy to Provence to ensure Beatrice could marry one of his sons or even himself.In such a difficult situation, the Dowager Countess decided to actquickly, placing herself and Beatrice in a safe fortress in Aix, secured the trust of its people and then asked Pope Innocent IV for his protection. In Cluny duringDecember 1245, a secret meeting between Pope Innocent IV, Louis IX of France, his mother Blanche of Castile, and his youngest brother Charles took place. Itwas decided that in return for Louis IX supporting the Pope militarily against Frederick II, the Pope would allow that Charles marry Beatrice. Mother and daughterwere satisfied with this selection, but under the terms of the treaty, Provence was to never go to France outright through Charles. It was agreed that if Charlesand Beatrice had children, the Counties would go to them; if there was no issue, then the Provence and Forcalquier would go to Sanchia of Provence, and if shedied without heirs, the Counties would go to the King of Aragon. Henry III of England protested these terms, arguing that he had not yet received the full dowryfor his wife Eleanor nor his brother for Sanchia. He also still had the castles in Provence against the loan he had made to the late Count.Charles, along with Philipof Savoy and five hundred knights, rode from Lyon to Provence. On their way, they ran into Raymond VII of Toulouse, who also had an army on the way toProvence. Raymond VII had been deceived by knights in favour of Charles and for that reason he had brought fewer men, and Charles and his army were quicker.When Charles got to Aix-en-Provence, James I of Aragon, who had been there all along but was not allowed to see Beatrice, had his soldiers surrounding thecastle in which the young Beatrice and her mother were. There was a brief struggle, but the King of Aragon retreated with dignity.To the young Beatrice, Charles(who was described as \"an admirable young man\") was a satisfactory resolution to her problems. Their marriage took place on 31 January 1246 atAix-en-Provence. They had soldiers on guard and the bride was escorted down the aisle by her uncle, Thomas, Count of Flanders.The inheritance of Beatrice alsocaused conflicts with her older sisters, who hoped that once their father had died, his domains would be divided between the four; Charles refused to share theCounties with his sisters-in-law. In consequence, the relationship of Charles and Beatrice with the three sisters, who felt cheated by their father's will, remainedalways tense.As soon as Charles became Count of Provence, he brought in his own team of French lawyers and accountants. He excluded his mother-in-law fromthe running of the county and began taking castles, power and fees away from the nobles who had previously enjoyed a certain degree of independence in therunning of their cities. Charles made himself very unpopular. The Dowager Countess moved herself to Forcalquier in protest, and in Marseille, Charles's officialswere thrown out of the city. In the family conflict, Beatrice sided with her husband.Seventh CrusadeIn May 1247, Charles and Beatrice were recorded as being inMelun, where Charles was knighted by his brother Louis. Beatrice accompanied Charles on the Seventh Crusade in 1248. Led by Louis IX, the crusaders made anextended procession through France. Before they left, Charles and Beatrice met with the Dowager Countess in Beaucaire to try to come to some terms ofagreement concerning Provence. Whilst the more important matters were left until Charles and Beatrice returned, it was decided that Beatrice of Savoy wouldgive up the rights to \"the castle at Aix in exchange for a percentage of the county's revenue.\"In Nicosia, Beatrice gave birth to her first child, \"a very elegant andwellformed son\", as her brother-in-law Robert of Artois wrote home to his mother the Queen; the child lived only a few days. Beatrice stayed with her sisterMargaret in Damietta, when they lost contact with the King and his army; here Beatrice gave birth to her second child, while her sister Margaret too gave birth.Later in 1250, they were reunited with the rest of the crusade at Acre, where the King's ransom was paid. Charles and Beatrice, along with several other nobles,left soon after and journeyed to the court of Emperor Frederick II, to ask him to send the King of France more men for his crusade. The Emperor, who had beenexcommunicated, needed his army to fight the Pope, and refused.Beatrice and Charles returned to Provence in 1251, where some riots erupted at Arles andAvignon, instigated by Beatrice's mother, who felt Charles had failed to respect her claims in Provence. By July 1252 Charles had managed to defeat the revoltand was in the process of exercising his power as Count of Provence. In November of the same year, Blanche of Castile, regent of France while her son Louis IXwas on crusade, died. Charles and Beatrice had to go to Paris, where Charles became co-regent of France with his brother, Alphonse. The Pope offered Charlesthe Kingdom of Sicily in 1252, but Charles had to turn the offer down, as he was preoccupied with other affairs and he also did not have sufficient funds.Thecrusaders returned in 1254. Charles and Beatrice spent Christmas in Paris that year, where all of Beatrice's sisters and their mother were present; it was notedthat the other four women treated the younger Beatrice coldly, due to Raymond Berenguer's will.Queen of SicilyBeatrice's sister Margaret, the new Queen ofFrance, publicly offended her in 1259, by not seating her at the family table; she claimed because Beatrice was not a queen like her sisters, she could not sit withthem. Margaret had hoped to provoke her sister in treacherous behaviour so she would have a valid reason to invade Provence. Beatrice \"with great grief\", wentto Charles and he reportedly told her:\"Be at peace, for I will shortly make thee a greater Queen than them\".When the newly elected Pope Clement IV grantedCharles the Kingdom of Sicily, he had to defeat King Manfred, who had fallen out of papal favour. Another contender to win the throne of Sicily was Beatrice'snephew, Edmund Crouchback, but it soon became clear that Charles was the more promising candidate. In order to achieve his goal, Charles needed an army andBeatrice helped her husband raise one. She called on all her knights as well as the young men of France, and according to the later historian Angelo di Costanzoshe pledged all her jewels, to make sure they joined her husband's army:Beatrice, to aid [Charles] in the gratification of her ambition, sold all her jewels andpersonal ornaments, and expended her private treasure in collecting round her standard, not only her own vassals, but the chivalric youth of France, who wereattracted to her service not less by her personal solicitations than by her rich gifts.In 1265 Charles of Anjou, with a small contingent, embarked and by seaarrived in Rome, where, on 28 June, he was invested as King of Sicily by the Pope. According to the storia di Manfredi, re di Sicilia e di Puglia of Giuseppe diCesare who followed the narrative of the storia di Saba Malaspina, Beatrice followed her husband with the remaining army by sea, arriving to Italy only fourmonths later. In November of that year, the army of Charles, composed by 5,000 soldiers and 25,000 infantrymen entered Italy and arrived in Rome in January1266, where on 6 January both Charles and Beatrice were crowned King and Queen of Sicily by five cardinals sent by the Pope (who was sheltering in Perugia). Assoon as the coronation festivities had ended, Beatrice stayed in Rome with a small force to hold the city, whilst Charles rode out to the battle of Benevento. Afterher husband's victory, she chose the castle of Melfi as their residence.DeathBeatrice died on 23 September 1267, a little over a year after becoming queen ineither the Castello del Parco at Nocera Inferiore or in Naples (according to the storia di Saba Malaspina). The cause of her death was not recorded, although it isbelieved that complications following a pregnancy could be the reason. She was initially buried at Cathedral of San Gennaro in Naples, but in 1277 her husbandtransferred her remains to Aix-en-Provence at the Church of Saint-Jean-de-Malta.Beatrice was the last ruling Countess of Provence and Forcalquier from theHouse of Barcelona; on her death, she left her Counties to her husband Charles.IssueCharles and Beatrice had the following children:Blanche (1250 – bef. 10January 1270), married in 1265 Robert of Flanders, Lord of Béthune and Dendermonde (he became Count Robert III in 1305, long after Blanche's death), bywhom she had one son, Charles, who died young.Beatrice (1252 – 17 November/12 December 1275), married in 1273 Philip of Courtenay, titular emperor of"} +{"doc_id":"doc_62","qid":"","text":"Passage 1:Pablo AlboránPablo Moreno de Alborán Ferrándiz (born 31 May 1989), popularly known as Pablo Alborán, is a Spanish musician and singer-songwriter.Throughout his career, Alborán has released five studio albums, two live albums, and various musical collaborations.

Splitting from his label in late 2005, he went on to collaborate with Faithless on the song \"Hope &Glory\" for their album ‘'To All New Arrivals'’. It was this release that saw him unleash the One eskimO moniker. It was through working with Rollo Armstrong onthe Faithless album, that Rollo got to hear an early demo of \"Astronauts\" from the One eskimO project. Being more than impressed by what he heard, Rolloopened both his arms and studio doors to Leontiou and they began to co-produce the ‘'All Balloons’' album.It was at this time that he paired up with good friendAdam Falkner, a drummer/musician, to introduce a live acoustic sound to the album. They recorded the album with engineer Phill Brown (engineer for Bob Marleyand Robert Plant) at Ark studios in St John's Wood where they recorded live then headed back to Rollo's studio to add the cinematic electro touches that areprominent on the album.Shortly after its completion, One eskimO's \"Hometime\" was used on a Toyota Prius advert in the USA.

BrownLeRoy D. Brown was the first president of University of Nevada.HistoryNevada became a state in 1864. Its constitution mandated the establishment of a state university with departments in agriculture, the mechanic arts, and mining, along with a state normal school for teacher training. The constitution specified that the state university would be controlled by an elected Board of Regents. The Nevada Legislature established the first State University campus in Elko, Nevada. Its Preparatory Department opened for enrollment in October 1874 with the goal of enhancing Nevada's young people to be ready for college-level study. D. R. Sessions served as Principal of the preparatory department. The Elko campus closed on July 15, 1885, when it was determined that Reno would provide a larger population for higher education students.The Board of Regents selected Dr. Leroy D. Brown to be the first president of the University of Nevada at the new Reno campus. A veteran of the American Civil War, he had taught in Ohio for twenty years and had been elected to the office of Commissioner of Education in Ohio. He was working for a bank in Ohio when he was recruited to Nevada. His administration began in September, 1887, before the first campus building, Morrill Hall, was completely constructed.By October, 50 students were enrolled.

As of 2019, Ciara's worldwide sales total over 45 million.Early lifeCiara Princess Harris was born in Fort Hood, Texas, on October 25, 1985, the only child of Jackie and Carlton Clay Harris. An army brat, she grew up in Georgia, New York, Utah, California, Arizona, and Nevada. She was named after the Revlon fragrance Ciara which was introduced in 1973. During her teens, Ciara and her family settled in College Park, Georgia, a suburb of Atlanta, where she attended North Clayton High School before graduating from Riverdale.In her mid-teens, Ciara formed the all-girl group Hearsay with two of her friends. The group recorded demos, but as time went on, they began to have differences and eventually parted ways. Despite this setback, Ciara signed a publishing deal as a songwriter.Her first writing credit was on Blu Cantrell's debut album, So Blu, for the song \"10,000 Times\". She also wrote the song \"Got Me Waiting\" for R&B singer Fantasia Barrino's debut album, Free Yourself. It was when she was writing songs that she met music producer Jazze Pha, whom she called her \"music soulmate\". In 2002, the two recorded four demos: \"1, 2 Step\", \"Thug Style\", \"Pick Up the Phone\", and \"Lookin' at You\", which all appeared on her debut album that was released two years later. \"1, 2 Step\" was the second single released from the album and it was a hit.Career2003–2005: GoodiesAfter graduating from Riverdale High School in Riverdale, Georgia, in 2003, she was signed by LaFace Records executive, L.A. Reid, whom she was introduced to by Jazze Pha. She began production on her debut album later that year. In early 2004, she wrote a demo with record producer, Sean Garrett, which came to the attention of Lil Jon and became her debut single \"Goodies\". Lil Jon stated later that he knew it would be big seeing how it sounded similar to Usher's international hit, \"Yeah!\".Ciara released her debut album Goodies on September 28, 2004. The album debuted at number three on the U.S. Billboard 200, selling 125,000 copies in its initial week and topped the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. Following the release of the album, Ciara was called the \"First Lady of Crunk&B\". Goodies had a 71-week run on the Billboard 200, and was certified triple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America on October 10, 2006. Charting at twenty-two on the Canadian Albums Chart, it was certified Platinum by the Canadian Recording Industry Association. The album charted at 26 on the UK Albums Chart, and spent 20 weeks on the chart. It was certified Gold by the British Phonographic Industry.Goodies' lead single, the title track, featuring Petey Pablo, was released on June 8, 2004. Conceived as a crunk female counterpart to Usher's \"Yeah!\", the lyrical content goes against the grain, speaking of abstinence, rejecting advances because \"the goodies will stay in the jar.\" Critics hailed it as an \"anthem of the summer\" and one of the best singles of the year, complementing its dance-feel and beat, and the irony of the \"clever\" lyrics. The single performed well worldwide, topping the charts in Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom, and charting in the top 10 of other charts, receiving Platinum certification in the United States. \"1, 2 Step\" featuring Missy Elliott was released as the album's second single. The song peaked in the top 10 of many countries, topping the charts in Canada, and went on to become Platinum or Gold in many countries. \"Oh\" featuring Ludacris was released as the third single on March 5, 2005. The song performed well worldwide, appearing in the top 10 of seven charts, and certified either Platinum or Gold in multiple regions.Following the success of the album, Ciara released a CD/DVD entitled Goodies: The Videos & More in the United States on July 12, 2005, which featured remixes to \"1, 2 Step\" and \"Oh\", as well as two new songs. The release was certified platinum in the United States. She made guest appearances on Missy Elliott's single \"Lose Control\" and on Bow Wow's single \"Like You\", which both peaked at number three in the United States and obtained worldwide success. She was an opening act for Gwen Stefani's Harajuku Lovers Tour 2005 and went on tour with Chris Brown and Bow Wow on the Holiday Jam Tour in December 2005. At the 48th Annual Grammy Awards, Ciara received four nominations for Best New Artist, Best Rap/Sung Collaboration for \"1, 2 Step\", Best Rap Song for Missy Elliott's single \"Lose Control\", and won her last nomination, Best Short Form Music Video for \"Lose Control\".2006–2007: Ciara: The Evolution and acting debutOn December 5, 2006, Ciara released her second studio album, Ciara: The Evolution. According to the singer, the title of the album is \"about so much more than just my personal growth – it's about the evolution of music, the evolution of dance, the evolution of fashion.\" The source of the album's creativity such as the sound and edge comes from Ciara in general. Ciara: The Evolution became Ciara's first and only number one album on the U.S. Billboard 200, and her second number one on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts with sales of 338,000 in the first week. The album went on to be certified platinum by the RIAA in the United States, and has sold 1.3 million copies according to Nielsen SoundScan.The album's international lead single, \"Get Up\", which features Chamillionaire, reached number seven in the United States and gained a platinum accreditation. It reached number five in New Zealand. The song was used for the film Step Up (2006) and featured on the film's soundtrack. The album's US lead single, \"Promise\", reached number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 and became her third number one single on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. \" Like a Boy\" was released as the second international single which reached within the top 20 in the UK, Finland, France, Ireland, Sweden Switzerland, and also in the United States. The fourth and final single from the album, \"Can't Leave 'em Alone\", reached number 10 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and number 40 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song became Ciara's fifth single to peak in the top in New Zealand, peaking at number 4. The song achieved moderate success in other international markets.In support of the album, Ciara went on her first headlining tour in October 2006. The tour went to seventeen different clubs in cities throughout the United States. The tour was met with mixed to positive reviews; critics were divided regarding the pre-recorded backing tracks and remarked that Ciara was slightly under-prepared to host her headlining tour, but ultimately praised her energetic choreography. In August 2007, she headlined the Screamfest ' 07 tour with fellow rapper, T.I. Critics praised her performance for her gracious dancing and being able to command a sold-out arena.

Prior to his current position, Govan worked as thedirector of the Dia Art Foundation in New York City.Early life and educationGovan was born in 1963 in North Adams, Massachusetts, and was raised in theWashington D.C. area, attending Sidwell Friends School.He majored in art history and fine arts at Williams College, where he met Thomas Krens, who was thendirector of the Williams College Museum of Art. Govan became closely involved with the museum, serving as acting curator as an undergraduate. After receivinghis B.A. from Williams in 1985, Govan began an MFA in fine arts from the University of California, San Diego.CareerAs a twenty-five year old graduate student,Govan was recruited by his former mentor at Williams, Thomas Krens, who in 1988 had been appointed director of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation.Govan served as deputy director of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum under Krens from 1988 to 1994, a period that culminated in the construction andopening of the Frank Gehry designed Guggenheim branch in Bilbao, Spain. Govan supervised the reinstallation of the museum's permanent collection galleriesafter its extensive renovation.Dia Art FoundationFrom 1994 to 2006, Govan was president and director of Dia Art Foundation in New York City. There, hespearheaded the conversion of a Nabisco box factory into the 300,000 square foot Dia:Beacon in New York's Hudson Valley, which houses Dia's collection of artfrom the 1960s to the present. Built in a former Nabisco box factory, the critically acclaimed museum has been credited with catalyzing a cultural and economicrevival within the formerly factory-based city of Beacon. Dia's collection nearly doubled in size during Govan's tenure, but he also came under criticism for\"needlessly and permanently\" closing Dia's West 22nd Street building. During his time at Dia, Govan also worked closely with artists James Turrell and MichaelHeizer, becoming an ardent supporter of Roden Crater and City, the artists' respective site-specific land art projects under construction in the Americansouthwest. Govan successfully lobbied Washington to have the 704,000 acres in central Nevada surrounding City declared a national monument in 2015.LACMAInFebruary 2006, a search committee composed of eleven LACMA trustees, led by the late Nancy M. Daly, recruited Govan to run the Los Angeles County Museumof Art. Govan has stated that he was drawn to the role not only because of LACMA's geographical distance from its European and east coast peers, but alsobecause of the museum's relative youth, having been established in 1961. \"I felt that because of this newness I had the opportunity to reconsider the museum,\"Govan has written, \"[and] Los Angeles is a good place to do that.\"Govan has been widely regarded for transforming LACMA into both a local and internationallandmark. Since Govan's arrival, LACMA has acquired by donation or purchase over 27,000 works for the permanent collection, and the museum's gallery spacehas almost doubled thanks to the addition of two new buildings designed by Renzo Piano, the Broad Contemporary Art Museum (BCAM) and the Lynda andStewart Resnick Pavilion. LACMA's annual attendance has grown from 600,000 to nearly 1.6 million in 2016.Artist collaborationsSince his arrival, Govan hascommissioned exhibition scenography and gallery designs in collaboration with artists. In 2006, for example, Govan invited LA artist John Baldessari to design anupcoming exhibition about the Belgian surrealist René Magritte, resulting in a theatrical show that reflected the twisted perspective of the latter's topsy-turvyworld. Baldessari has also designed LACMA's logo. Since then, Govan has also commissioned Cuban-American artist Jorge Pardo to design LACMA's Art of theAncient Americas gallery, described in the Los Angeles Times as a \"gritty cavern deep inside the earth ... crossed with a high-style urban lounge.\"Govan has alsocommissioned several large-scale public artworks for LACMA's campus from contemporary California artists. These include Chris Burden's Urban Light (2008), aseries of 202 vintage street lamps from different neighborhoods in Los Angeles, arranged in front of the entrance pavilion, Barbara Kruger's Untitled (Shafted)(2008), Robert Irwin's Primal Palm Garden (2010), and Michael Heizer's Levitated Mass, a 340-ton boulder transported 100 miles from the Jurupa Valley toLACMA, a widely publicized journey that culminated with a large celebration on Wilshire Boulevard. Thanks in part to the popularity of these public artworks,LACMA was ranked the fourth most instagrammed museum in the world in 2016.In his first three full years, the museum raised $251 million—about $100 millionmore than it collected during the three years before he arrived. In 2010, it was announced that Govan will steer LACMA for at least six more years. In a letterdated February 24, 2013, Govan, along with the LACMA board's co-chairmen Terry Semel and Andrew Gordon, proposed a merger with the financially troubledMuseum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles and a plan to raise $100 million for the combined museum.Zumthor ProjectGovan's latest project is an ambitiousbuilding project, the replacement of four of the campus's aging buildings with a single new state of the art gallery building designed by architect Peter Zumthor.As of January 2017, he has raised about $300 million in commitments. Construction is expected to begin in 2018, and the new building will open in 2023, tocoincide with the opening of the new D Line metro stop on Wilshire Boulevard. The project also envisages dissolving all existing curatorial departments anddepartmental collections. Some commentators have been highly critical of Govan's plans. Joseph Giovannini, recalling Govan's technically unrealizable onetimeplan to hang Jeff Koons' Train sculpture from the facade of the Ahmanson Gallery, has accused Govan of \"driving the institution over a cliff into an equivalentmid-air wreck of its own\". Describing the collection merging proposal as the creation of a \"giant raffle bowl of some 130,000 objects\", Giovannini also points outthat the Zumthor building will contain 33% less gallery space than the galleries it will replace, and that the linear footage of wall space available for displays willdecrease by about 7,500 ft, or 1.5 miles. Faced with losing a building named in its honor, and anticipating that its acquisitions could no longer be displayed, theAhmanson Foundation withdrew its support.On the merging of the separate curatorial divisions to create a non-departmental art museum, Christopher Knight haspointed out that \"no other museum of LACMA's size and complexity does it\" that way, and characterized the museum's 2019 \"To Rome and Back\" exhibition, thefirst to take place under the new scheme, as \"bland and ineffectual\" and an \"unsuccessful sample of what's to come\".Personal lifeGovan is married and has twodaughters, one from a previous marriage. He and his family used to live in a $6 million mansion in Hancock Park that was provided by LACMA - a benefit worth$155,000 a year, according to most recent tax filings - until LACMA decided that it would sell the property to make up for the museum's of almost $900 million indebt [2]. That home is now worth nearly $8 million and Govan now lives in a trailer park in Malibu's Point Dume region.Los Angeles CA 90020United States.

He was the son of the Reverend Edward Moore and LadyHarriet Janet Sarah Montagu-Scott, who was one of the daughters of the 4th Duke of Buccleuch. One of his brothers, Arthur, became an admiral and wasknighted. Their great grandfather was John Moore, Archbishop of Canterbury from 1783 to 1805. One of their sisters was a maid of honour to QueenVictoria.Moore went to New Zealand in the 1870s and lived in Geraldine and Christchurch. He married Henrietta Lysaght of Hāwera in November 1879, and theyhad one son. In May 1884 she died a few days after giving birth to a daughter, who also died.In 1886 Moore became a Justice of the Peace in Geraldine. In 1897he married Alice Fish of Geraldine. They moved to England four years before his death in 1916.Cricket careerMoore was a right-handed middle-order batsman. Inconsecutive seasons, 1876–77 and 1877–78, playing for Canterbury, he made the highest score in the short New Zealand first-class season: 76 and 75respectively. His 76 came in his first match for Canterbury, against Otago. He went to the wicket early on the first day with the score at 7 for 2 and put on 99 forthe third wicket with Charles Corfe before he was out with the score at 106 for 3 after a \"very fine exhibition of free hitting, combined with good defence\".Canterbury were all out for 133, but went on to win the match. His 75 came in the next season's match against Otago, when he took the score from 22 for 2 to136 for 6. The New Zealand cricket historian Tom Reese said, \"Right from the beginning he smote the bowling hip and thigh, going out of his ground to indulge insome forceful driving.\" Canterbury won again.Moore led the batting averages in the Canterbury Cricket Association in 1877–78 with 379 runs at an average of34.4. Also in 1877–78, he was a member of the Canterbury team that inflicted the only defeat on the touring Australians. In 1896–97, at the age of 47, hetop-scored in each innings for a South Canterbury XVIII against the touring Queensland cricket team.Passage 3:John McMahon (Surrey and Somersetcricketer)John William Joseph McMahon (28 December 1917 – 8 May 2001) was an Australian-born first-class cricketer who played for Surrey and SomersetCounty Cricket Clubs in England from 1947 to 1957.Surrey cricketerMcMahon was an orthodox left-arm spin bowler with much variation in speed and flight whowas spotted by Surrey playing in club cricket in North London and brought on to the county's staff for the 1947 season at the age of 29. In the first innings of hisfirst match, against Lancashire at The Oval, he took five wickets for 81 runs.In his first full season, 1948, he was Surrey's leading wicket-taker and in the lasthome game of the season he was awarded his county cap – he celebrated by taking eight Northamptonshire wickets for 46 runs at The Oval, six of them comingin the space of 6.3 overs for seven runs. This would remain the best bowling performance of his first-class career, not surpassed, but he did equal it seven yearslater. In the following game, the last away match of the season, he took 10 Hampshire wickets for 150 runs in the match at Bournemouth. In the 1948 season asa whole, he took 91 wickets at an average of 28.07. As a tail-end left-handed batsman, he managed just 93 runs in the season at an average of 4.22.Theemergence of Tony Lock as a slow left-arm bowler in 1949 brought a stuttering end of McMahon's Surrey career. Though he played in 12 first-class matches in the1949 season, McMahon took only 19 wickets; a similar number of matches in 1950 brought 34 wickets. In 1951, he played just seven times and in 1952 onlythree times. In 1953, Lock split the first finger of his left hand, and played in only 11 of Surrey's County Championship matches; McMahon played as his deputy in14 Championship matches, though a measure of their comparative merits was that Lock's 11 games produced 67 wickets at 12.38 runs apiece, while McMahon's14 games brought him 45 wickets at the, for him, low average of 21.53. At the end of the 1953 season, McMahon was allowed to leave Surrey to join Somerset,then languishing at the foot of the County Championship and recruiting widely from other counties and other countries.Somerset cricketerSomerset's slowbowling in 1954 was in the hands of leg-spinner Johnny Lawrence, with support from the off-spin of Jim Hilton while promising off-spinner Brian Langford was onnational service. McMahon filled a vacancy for a left-arm orthodox spinner that had been there since the retirement of Horace Hazell at the end of the 1952season; Hazell's apparent successor, Roy Smith, had failed to realise his promise as a bowler in 1953, though his batting had advanced significantly.McMahoninstantly became a first-team regular and played in almost every match during his four years with the county, not missing a single Championship game until hewas controversially dropped from the side in August 1957, after which he did not play in the Championship again.In the 1954 season, McMahon, alongside fellownewcomer Hilton, was something of a disappointment, according to Wisden: \"The new spin bowlers, McMahon and Hilton, did not attain to the best standards oftheir craft in a wet summer, yet, like the rest of the attack, they would have fared better with reasonable support in the field and from their own batsmen,\" itsaid. McMahon took 85 wickets at an average of 27.47 (Hilton took only 42 at a higher average). His best match was against Essex at Weston-super-Mare wherehe took six for 96 in the first innings and five for 45 in the second to finish with match figures of 11 for 141, which were the best of his career. He was awardedhis county cap in the 1954 season, but Somerset remained at the bottom of the table.The figures for the 1955 were similar: McMahon this time took 75 wickets at28.77 apiece. There was a small improvement in his batting and the arrival of Bryan Lobb elevated McMahon to No 10 in the batting order for most of the season,and he responded with 262 runs and an average of 9.03. This included his highest-ever score, 24, made in the match against Sussex at Frome. A week later inSomerset's next match, he equalled his best-ever bowling performance, taking eight Kent wickets for 46 runs in the first innings of a match at Yeovil throughwhat Wisden called \"clever variation of flight and spin\". These matches brought two victories for Somerset, but there were only two others in the 1955 season andthe side finished at the bottom of the Championship for the fourth season running.At the end of the 1955 season, Lawrence retired and McMahon becameSomerset's senior spin bowler for the 1956 season, with Langford returning from National Service as the main support. McMahon responded with his mostsuccessful season so far, taking 103 wickets at an average of 25.57, the only season in his career in which he exceeded 100 wickets. The bowling averageimproved still further in 1957 to 23.10 when McMahon took 86 wickets. But his season came to an abrupt end in mid-August 1957 when, after 108 consecutiveChampionship matches, he was dropped from the first team during the Weston-super-Mare festival. Though he played some games for the second eleven later inAugust, he regained his place in the first team for only a single end-of-season friendly match, and he was told that his services were not required for the future, adecision, said Wisden, that \"proved highly controversial\".Sacked by SomersetThe reason behind McMahon's sacking did not become public knowledge for manyyears. In its obituary of him in 2002, McMahon was described by Wisden as \"a man who embraced the antipodean virtues of candour and conviviality\". It went on:\"Legend tells of a night at the Flying Horse Inn in Nottingham when he beheaded the gladioli with an ornamental sword, crying: 'When Mac drinks, everybodydrinks!'\" The obituary recounts a further escapade in second eleven match at Midsomer Norton where a curfew imposed on the team was circumvented by \"aPOW-type loop\" organised by McMahon, \"with his team-mates escaping through a ground-storey window and then presenting themselves again\". As the onlySomerset second eleven match that McMahon played in at Midsomer Norton was right at the end of the 1957 season, this may have been the final straw. But inany case there had been \"an embarrassing episode at Swansea's Grand Hotel\" earlier in the season, also involving Jim Hilton, who was also dismissed at the endof the season. Team-mates and club members petitioned for McMahon to be reinstated, but the county club was not to be moved.After a period in LancashireLeague cricket with Milnrow Cricket Club, McMahon moved back to London where he did office work, later contributing some articles to cricket magazines.==Notes and references ==Passage 4:Hartley LobbanHartley W Lobban (9 May 1926 – 15 October 2004) was a Jamaican-born first-class cricketer who played 17matches for Worcestershire in the early 1950s.Life and careerLobban played little cricket in Jamaica. He went to England at the end of World War II as a memberof the Royal Air Force, and settled in Kidderminster in Worcestershire in 1947, where he worked as a civilian lorry driver for the RAF. He began playing forKidderminster Cricket Club in the Birmingham League, and at the start of the 1952 season, opening the bowling for the club's senior team, he had figures of 7 for9 and 7 for 37.Worcestershire invited him to play for them, and he made his first-class debut against Sussex in July 1952. He took five wickets in the match (hismaiden victim being Ken Suttle) and then held on for 4 not out with Peter Richardson (20 not out) to add the 12 runs needed for a one-wicket victory after hiscounty had collapsed from 192 for 2 to 238 for 9. A week later he claimed four wickets against Warwickshire, then a few days later still he managed 6 for 52 (fiveof his victims bowled) in what was otherwise a disastrous innings defeat to Derbyshire. In the last match of the season he took a career-best 6 for 51 againstGlamorgan; he and Reg Perks (4 for 59) bowled unchanged throughout the first innings. Worcestershire won the game and Lobban finished the season with 23"} +{"doc_id":"doc_67","qid":"","text":"Passage 1:The Slaughter RuleThe Slaughter Rule is a 2002 independent film directed by Alex Smith and Andrew J.

Roy whiles away his time by swilling beer with his best friend, Tracy Two Dogs, and falling into a romance with Skyla, abarmaid at a local tavern, but Roy's short time on the high school gridiron seems to have impressed Gideon Ferguson, a local character who coaches anunsanctioned high school six-man football team when he is not delivering newspapers or trying to score a gig singing country songs at nearbyhonky-tonks.Gideon thinks that Roy has potential and asks him to join his team; encouraged by Gideon's belief in him, Roy agrees, and he persuades Tracy andhis friend Russ to tag along. While playing hardscrabble six-man football helps restore Roy's self-confidence, he finds it does not answer his questions about hisfuture or his relationship with Skyla.

Reviewing the film for The New York Times, Stephen Holden praised the performances of Gosling andMorse, but opined that the film is \"confused\" and \"doesn't have much dramatic momentum\". In her review for the Los Angeles Times, Manohla Dargis praised thefilm's cinematography but wrote that although the film has the virtue of sincerity, the story is \"over-explained\".Joe Leydon of Variety claimed the script \"plays likea first draft\".

It was Fassbinder's last film, released shortly after his death at the age of 37.PlotThe plot centers on thehandsome Belgian sailor Georges Querelle, who is also a thief and murderer. When his ship, Le Vengeur, arrives in Brest, he visits the Feria, a bar and brothel forsailors run by the Madame Lysiane, whose lover, Robert, is Querelle's brother. Querelle has a love/hate relationship with his brother: when they meet at La Feria,they embrace, but also punch one another slowly and repeatedly in the belly. Lysiane's husband Nono works behind the bar and also manages La Feria'sunderhanded affairs with the assistance of his friend, the corrupt police captain Mario.Querelle makes a deal to sell opium to Nono. During the execution of thedeal, he murders his accomplice Vic by slitting his throat. After delivering the drugs, Querelle announces that he wants to sleep with Lysiane. He knows that thismeans he will have to throw dice with Nono, who has the privilege of playing a game of chance with all of her prospective lovers. If Nono loses, the suitor isallowed to proceed with his affair. If the suitor loses, however, he must submit to anal sex with Nono first, according to Nono's maxim that \"That way, I can saymy wife only sleeps with arseholes.\" Querelle deliberately loses the game, allowing himself to be sodomized by Nono. When Nono gloats about Querelle's \"loss\" toRobert, who won his dice game, the brothers end up in a violent fight. Later, Querelle becomes Lysiane's lover, and also has sex with Mario.Luckily for Querelle,a builder, Gil, murders his work mate Theo, who had been harassing and sexually assaulting him. Gil hides from the police in an abandoned prison, and Roger,who is in love with Gil, establishes contact between Querelle and Gil in the hopes that Querelle can help Gil flee. Querelle falls in love with Gil, who closelyresembles his brother. Gil returns his affections, but Querelle betrays Gil by tipping off the police. Querelle cleverly arranged it so that the murder of Vic is alsoblamed on Gil.Querelle's superior, Lieutenant Seblon, is in love with Querelle, and constantly tries to prove his manliness to him. Seblon is aware that Querellemurdered Vic, but chooses to protect him.

However, Schidor could not find the money to finance a film by Schroeter, and therefore turned to other directors,including John Schlesinger and Sam Peckinpah, before finally settling on Fassbinder. Driest wrote a radically different script for Fassbinder, who then \"took thelinear narrative and jumbled it up\". White quotes Schidor as saying \"Fassbinder did something totally different, he took the words of Genet and tried to meditateon something other than the story. The story became totally unimportant for him. He also said publicly that the story was a sort of third-rate police story thatwouldn't be worth making a movie about without putting a particular moral impact into it\".Schroeter had wanted to make a black and white film with amateuractors and location shots, but Fassbinder instead shot it with professional actors in a lurid, expressionist color, and on sets in the studio. Edmund White commentsthat the result is a film in which, \"Everything is bathed in an artificial light and the architectural elements are all symbolic.\"SoundtrackJeanne Moreau – \"Each ManKills the Things He Loves\" (music by Peer Raben, lyrics from Oscar Wilde's poem \"The Ballad of Reading Gaol\")\"Young and Joyful Bandit\" (Music by Peer Raben,lyrics by Jeanne Moreau)Both songs were nominated to the 1984 Razzie Awards for \"Worst Original Song\".ReleaseQuerelle sold more than 100,000 tickets in thefirst three weeks after its release in Paris, the first time that a film with a gay theme had achieved such success.

A member of the House of Braganza by birth, Adelgundes becamea member of the House of Bourbon-Parma through her marriage to Prince Henry of Bourbon-Parma, Count of Bardi. She was also the Regent of the MonarchicRepresentation of Portugal and for that reason assumed the title of Duchess of Guimarães, usually reserved for the Head of the House.Early lifeAdelgundes deJesus Maria Francisca de Assis e de Paula Adelaide Eulália Leopoldina Carlota Micaela Rafaela Gabriela Gonzaga Inês Isabel Avelina Ana Estanislau SofiaBernardina, Infanta de Portugal, Duquesa de Guimarães, was born in Bronnbach, Wertheim, Germany. Her father died on November 14, 1866, a few days afterher eighth birthday, and Adelgundes and her siblings were educated in a Catholic and conservative environment by their mother. Her maternal uncle, Prince Carlzu Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rosenberg, was like a second father to the children.MarriageAdelgundes married Prince Henry of Bourbon-Parma, Count of Bardi, fourthchild and youngest son of Charles III, Duke of Parma and his wife Princess Louise Marie Thérèse of France, on 15 October 1876 in Salzburg, Austria-Hungary.Henry, who was 25 years old, had been previously married to Princess Luisa Immacolata of the Two Sicilies, who had died three months after their marriage atthe age of 19 in 1874. Henry had taken part in the Carlist war and fought in the Battle of Lacar. War wounds turned him into an invalid.Their union produced noissue, as her nine pregnancies all ended in miscarriages. The failed pregnancies, the last of which she suffered in 1890, were a source of great grief to the couple.They divided their time between the Castle of Seebenstein in Austria and the Ca' Vendramin Calergi in Venice. After almost 30 years of marriage, Adelgundesbecame a widow in 1905.She was close to her many nephews and nieces, particularly Grand Duchess Marie-Adélaïde of Luxembourg, from the time of herabdication to her early death.. The composer, Richard Wagner died of a heart attack at the age of 69 on 13 February 1883 at Ca' Vendramin Calergi, a16th-century palazzo on the Grand Canal as a guest of Prince Henry, Count of Bardi and Infanta Adelgundes.Regent-in-absentiaBetween 1920 and 1928,Adelgundes acted as the regent-in-absentia on behalf of her nephew and Miguelist claimant to the Portuguese throne, Duarte Nuno, Duke of Braganza, who wasonly twelve years old when his father Miguel renounced his claim to the throne in his favor. At the beginning of her regency in 1920, Adelgundes assumed the titleof Duchess of Guimarães. In 1921 she authored a manifesto outlining the House of Braganza's goals for the restoration of the Portuguese monarchy. During herregency, the ex-King Manuel II of Portugal agreed that owing to an heir, the rights of succession could pass to Duarte Nuno (although Duarte Nuno's grandfatherMiguel I of Portugal was excluded from the throne and the Miguelist line deprived of its dynastic rights of succession). But Infanta Adelgundes failing to get anagreement mentioning the reestablishment of a traditional monarchy, the Integralists withheld their support to an accord, and on September 1925, Adelgundes,in a letter to King Manuel, repudiated the incomplete agreement. Since any pact resolved the issue of succession (former Dover Pact and Paris Pact having beenboth repudiated) and without known documents, there was no direct heir to the defunct throne, but at the death of King Manuel, however, the monarchistIntegralismo Lusitano movement acclaimed Duarte Nuno, Duke of Braganza as King of Portugal. Duarte Nuno lived with Adelgundes at Seebenstein until theGerman occupation of Austria when the whole family relocated to Bern, Switzerland, where she died in Gunten on 15 April 1946 at age 87.AncestryPassage2:Carlota Joaquina of SpainDoña Carlota Joaquina Teresa Cayetana of Spain (25 April 1775 – 7 January 1830) was Queen of Portugal and Brazil as the wife ofKing Dom John VI. She was the daughter of King Don Charles IV of Spain and Maria Luisa of Parma.Detested by the Portuguese court — where she was called\"the Shrew of Queluz\" (Portuguese: a Megera de Queluz) — Carlota Joaquina gradually won the antipathy of the people, who accused her of promiscuity andinfluencing her husband in favor of the interests of the Spanish crown. After the escape of the Portuguese court to Brazil, she began conspiring against herhusband, claiming that he had no mental capacity to govern Portugal and its possessions, thus wanting to establish a regency. She also planned to usurp theSpanish crown that was in the hands of Napoleon's brother, Joseph Bonaparte.After the marriage in 1817 of her son Pedro with the Archduchess Leopoldina ofAustria and the later return of the royal family to Portugal in 1821, Carlota Joaquina was confined in the Royal Palace of Queluz, where she died alone andabandoned by her children on 7 January, 1830.LifeChildhoodBorn in the Royal Palace of Aranjuez on 25 April 1775 as the second (but eldest surviving) child ofCharles, Prince of Asturias, and his wife Maria Luisa of Parma, she was baptized with the names of Carlota Joaquina Teresa Cayetana, but she was called only byher first name, Carlota, a name that honored both her father and paternal grandfather, King Charles III of Spain—Carlota was his favorite granddaughter. Despitethe rigidity of her education and court etiquette, the Infanta was described as mischievous and playful.She received a rigid and deeply Catholic education, withbases in the fields of study of religion, geography, painting, and riding (Carlota's favorite sport). The closed and austere temperament of the Spanish monarchyimposed on the family and on the whole court rigid norms of behavior and etiquette. King Charles III, a man of reserved behavior, devoted more time to hisfamily than to the animations of the courtesan life, where his daughter-in-law Maria Luisa took an active part. Carlota's mother soon assumed the organization ofentertainments at court, with luxurious parties, where morals were easily forgotten. Soon the Princess of Asturias' image would be linked to that of a promiscuouswoman who betrayed her husband to other men. Among them, possibly, was the Prime Minister Manuel Godoy, whose alleged love affair was widely explored bythe press at the time. Not even the successive pregnancies and long-hoped birth of a living male heir to the throne in 1784 saved Maria Luísa from the contemptof the population. She would go down in history as one of the most unpopular queens in Spain and her bad reputation deeply affected her children, especiallyCarlota, the firstborn daughter.MarriageThe subject of Carlota Joaquina's marriage was arranged by both King Charles III and his sister Mariana Victoria, DowagerQueen of Portugal, in the late 1770s when Mariana went to Spain to encourage diplomatic relations between the estranged countries. Carlota Joaquina was tomarry Infante John, Duke of Beja (youngest grandson of Mariana Victoria), and Infante Gabriel of Spain (Carlota Joaquina's paternal uncle) was to marry InfantaMariana Vitória of Portugal (only surviving granddaughter and namesake of the Dowager Queen of Portugal).Carlota's apprenticeship would be tested when sheunderwent a series of public examinations in front of the Spanish court and Portuguese ambassadors sent on behalf of Queen Maria I of Portugal to evaluate thequalities of the princess destined to marry her second son. In October 1785, the Gazeta of Lisbon published an account of the tests:\"Everything has satisfied socompletely that one can not express the admiration which such a vast instruction ought to cause at such a tender age: but...the decided talent with which Godhas endowed this most serene Lady, her prodigious memory, understanding and that everything is possible, especially with the awakening and capacity withwhich the above-mentioned master promotes such useful and glorious applications.\"Having proven the talent of the bride, there was therefore no impediment tothe union with the Portuguese prince, so on 8 May 1785 was celebrated the proxy marriage; three days later, on 11 May, the 10-year-old Carlota Joaquina andher retinue left Spain for Lisbon. On the day she left the Spanish court, Carlota Joaquina asked her mother to make a painting of her in a red dress to place on thewall, instead of the painting of Infanta Margaret Theresa of Spain (which Carlota Joaquina claimed to be more beautiful). As a part of the infanta cortege wereFather Felipe Scio, famous Spanish theologian and scholar, Emília O'Dempsy, as lady-in-waiting, and Anna Miquelina, personal maid of Carlota Joaquina. Theofficial wedding ceremony between Infante John of Portugal and Carlota Joaquina took place on 9 June 1785; she was only 10 years old while her husband was18. Due to the bride's young age, the consummation of the union was delayed until 9 January 1790, when Carlota Joaquina was then able to conceive and bearchildren.Life in the Portuguese courtNevertheless, the climate in the Braganza court differed in many respects from that of the cheerful Spanish court. While inother parts of the Europe they represented the mark of a new society based on the Age of Enlightenment principles, in Portugal the Catholic Church still imposednorms prohibiting all types of amusement. The dramatization of comedies was banned, including the performance of dances and parties. The reign of Queen MariaI was marked by the rise of a conservative group of the nobility and clergy of Portugal; an extremely \"boredom\" environment, as defined by Dowager QueenMariana Victoria (Carlota Joaquina's great-aunt). In this way, Carlota Joaquina found herself in the midst of a very religious and austere environment, in contrastto the extravagance and the faust to which she was accustomed. Despite this, her relationship with her mother-in-law was very tender, as the letters exchangedbetween them proved. The joy and vivacity of Carlota were responsible for the rare hours of relaxation of the Queen.Her more liberal habits and customs differedin many ways from that of other women at court. Quite traditional in relation to female behavior, Portuguese men disapproved of the ease with which CarlotaJoaquina transited in public space, her performance in the political field and her distemper in the family routine. Since most Portuguese women were deprived ofsocial life, Carlota Joaquina's offending behavior allowed some malicious rumors about her in the court. Some of them were prejudiced, like the Duchess ofAbrantès, wife of the French General Junot, who later invaded Portugal. During her time in Lisbon, Madame Junot had ridiculed Carlota Joaquina both for hermanner of acting and for her dressing, and she had slain her as an extremely ugly woman.Princess of BrazilIn 1788, when his eldest brother Joseph, Prince ofBrazil died, Infante John became the first in line to his mother's throne. Soon he received the titles Prince of Brazil and 15th Duke of Braganza. Between 1788 and1816, Carlota Joaquina was known as Princess of Brazil as the wife of the heir-apparent of the Portuguese throne.

AD 40–69) was a Roman general best known as the commander who defeated therebellion of Boudica.Early lifeLittle is known of Suetonius' family, but it likely came from Pisaurum (modern Pesaro), a town on the Adriatic coast of Italy. He is notknown to be related to the biographer Suetonius.Mauretanian campaignHaving served as praetor in 40 AD, Suetonius was appointed governor of Mauretania thefollowing year. In collaboration with Gnaeus Hosidius Geta, he suppressed the revolt led by Aedemon in the mountainous province that arose from the executionof the local ruler by Caligula. In 41 AD Suetonius was the first Roman commander to lead troops across the Atlas Mountains, and Pliny the Elder quotes hisdescription of the area in his Natural History.Governor of BritainIn 58, before being consul, he was appointed governor of Britain, replacing Quintus Veranius, whohad died in office. He continued Veranius's policy of aggressively subduing the tribes of modern Wales, and was successful for his first two years in the post. Hisreputation as a general came to rival that of Gnaeus Domitius Corbulo. Two future governors served under him: Quintus Petillius Cerialis as legate of Legio IXHispana, and Gnaeus Julius Agricola as a military tribune attached to II Augusta, but seconded to Suetonius's staff.In 60 or 61 Suetonius made an assault on theisland of Mona (Anglesey), a refuge for British fugitives and a stronghold of the druids. The tribes of the south-east took advantage of his absence and staged arevolt, led by queen Boudica of the Iceni. The colonia of Camulodunum (Colchester) was destroyed, its inhabitants tortured, raped, and slaughtered, and PetilliusCerialis's legion routed. Suetonius brought Mona to terms and marched along the Roman road of Watling Street to Londinium (London), the rebels' next target,but judged he did not have the numbers to defend the city and ordered it evacuated. The Britons duly destroyed it, the citizens of Londinium suffering the samefate as those of Camulodunum, and then did the same to Verulamium (St Albans).Suetonius regrouped with the XIV Gemina, some detachments of the XX ValeriaVictrix, and all available auxiliaries. The II Augusta, based at Exeter, was available, but its prefect, Poenius Postumus, declined to heed the call. Nonetheless,Suetonius was able to assemble a force of about ten thousand men. Heavily outnumbered (the Britons numbered 230,000 according to Cassius Dio), the Romansstood their ground. The resulting battle took place at an unidentified location in a defile with a wood behind him, probably in the West Midlands somewhere alongWatling Street – at Cuttle Mill, 2 miles southeast of Towcester in Northamptonshire, in front of a narrow defile which answers the topographical description ofTacitus, human bones have been found over a large area; High Cross in Leicestershire and Manduessedum near the modern day town of Atherstone inWarwickshire have also been suggested - where Roman tactics and discipline triumphed over British numbers. The Britons' flight was impeded by the presence oftheir own families, whom they had stationed in a ring of wagons at the edge of the battlefield, and defeat turned into slaughter. Tacitus heard reports that almosteighty thousand Britons were killed, compared to only four hundred Romans. Boudica poisoned herself, and Postumus, having denied his men a share in thevictory, fell on his sword.Suetonius reinforced his army with legionaries and auxiliaries from Germania and conducted punitive operations against any remainingpockets of resistance, but this proved counterproductive. The new procurator, Gaius Julius Alpinus Classicianus, expressed concern to the Emperor Nero thatSuetonius's activities would only lead to continued hostilities. An inquiry was set up under Nero's freedman, Polyclitus, and an excuse, that Suetonius had lostsome ships, was found to relieve him of his command. He was replaced by the more conciliatory Publius Petronius Turpilianus. But Suetonius was not disgraced: alead tessera found in Rome features both his and Nero's names and symbols of victory, and a man named Gaius Suetonius Paulinus was consul in 66, either a sonof the same name or the general himself appointed for a second time.Year of Four EmperorsIn 69, during the year of civil wars that followed the death of Nero(see Year of Four Emperors), he was one of Otho's senior generals and military advisors. He and Aulus Marius Celsus defeated Aulus Caecina Alienus, one ofVitellius's generals, near Cremona, but Suetonius would not allow his men to follow up their advantage and was accused of treachery as a result. When Caecinajoined his forces with those of Fabius Valens, Suetonius advised Otho not to risk a battle but was overruled, leading to Otho's decisive defeat at Bedriacum.Suetonius was captured by Vitellius and obtained a pardon by claiming that he had deliberately lost the battle for Otho, although this was almost certainly untrue.His eventual fate remains unknown.NotesPassage 4:The Rebellion of the BridesThe Rebellion of the Brides (Uzbek: Келинлар \u0000ўз\u0000олони, romanized: Kelinlarqo\u0000zg\u0000oloni; Russian: Бунт невесток) is a 1984 Uzbek comedy film based on an eponymous play by the Uzbek writer Said Ahmad and directed by MelisAbzalov. Kelinlar qo\u0000zgvoloni is one of the most critically acclaimed Uzbek films of the Soviet period. Like Melis Abzalov's previous film Suyunchi, Kelinlarqo\u0000zg\u0000oloni tells the story of an authoritative grandmother.PlotFarmon bibi (played by Tursunoy Ja\u0000farova) is a wise and loving, but strict mother who liveswith the families of her seven sons in one house. Nigora, the wife of her youngest son, rebels against Farmon Bibi and the other wives sympathize with her. Inone scene, the mother and her daughters-in-law go to the bazaar. Toward the end of the film, Farmon bibi changes her attitude and gives in to the demands ofher daughters-in-law.Passage 5:Le Masque de la MéduseLe masque de la Méduse (English: The Mask of Medusa) is a 2009 fantasy horror film directed by JeanRollin.

The singer joined Glee clubs atschool and formed her own female singing groups at school. At the age of 11, she heard her first \"Rock and Roll\" song. This affected her taste in music and desireto emulate the style; it was the first time she heard a Rock group with a female lead singer. This was significant since she realized that she could be a leadsinger.Recording careerAt the age of 15, her parents sent her for vocal coaching in Manhattan, N.Y. After a while her coach sent her to record a demonstrationrecord in a sound studio near Broadway. Upon hearing her sing, the sound engineer contacted his friend who was a producer of a small record company in N.Y.C.;he was impressed by her voice and immediately signed her to a contract. The singer's mother co-signed the document since Baron was a fifteen-year-old minor atthe time.Baron became one of the many girl group/girl sound singers of the early 1960s. Baron was not a member of a group; her producers would hire \"pay forhire\" backup groups for her recordings. This \"sound\" as it is referred to had much to do with Phil Spector, one of its major creators; Spector produced recordingsof this genre prolifically. The groups were composed of young adult or teenage girls, each with a lead singer and any number of back up singers.At the time, thetroubled label (a small N.Y.C. record company owned by Wally Zober) could not promote Baron's \"I've Got A Feeling\"/\"Oh Yeah\" 45 vinyl and so she eventuallysigned a contract with Jerry Goldstein producer of FGG productions, also located in Manhattan. \"Where Did My Jimmy Go\"/\"Tra la la, I Love You\" was the result(Diamond).Later lifeBaron left the music industry at the age of 19, choosing to enter higher education due to changes in the music industry of those days; sheeventually received an advanced degree.Baron's \"I've Got a Feeling\" was covered by The Secret Sisters on their 2010 self-titled album as well as being releasedas a single. AllMusic describes Baron's song as \"an early-'60s pop/rock obscurity\".Passage 2:Elizabeth Brooke (1503–1560)Elizabeth Brooke, Lady Wyatt(1503–1560) was the wife of Sir Thomas Wyatt, the poet, and the mother of Thomas Wyatt the younger who led Wyatt's Rebellion against Mary I. Her parentswere Thomas Brooke, 8th Baron Cobham and Dorothy Heydon, the daughter of Sir Henry Heydon. She was the sister of George Brooke, 9th Baron Cobham andwas considered a possible candidate for the sixth wife of Henry VIII of England.Marriage and issueElizabeth married twice.First MarriageIn 1520, Elizabethmarried Sir Thomas Wyatt (1503 – 6 October 1542) and a year later, bore him a son:Sir Thomas (1521–1554), who led an unsuccessful rebellion against Mary Iin 1554. The aim of the rebellion was to replace the Catholic Queen Mary with her Protestant half-sister, Elizabeth.Early in the marriage, marital difficulties arose,with Wyatt claiming they were 'chiefly' her fault. He repudiated her as an adulteress, although there is no record linking her with any specific man. Elizabethseparated from Thomas Wyatt in 1526 and he supported her until around 1537, when he refused to do so any longer and sent her to live with her brother, LordCobham. In that same year, Lord Cobham attempted to force Wyatt to continue his financial support. He refused. It wasn't until 1541, when Wyatt, accused oftreason, was arrested and his properties confiscated, that the Brooke family was able to force a reconciliation as a condition for Wyatt’s pardon.In a letter toCharles V, the imperial ambassador, Eustace Chapuys wrote that Wyatt had been released from the Tower at the request of Catherine Howard. Chapuys notedthat the king had imposed two conditions; that Wyatt 'confess his guilt' and that 'he should take back his wife from whom he had been separated upwards of 15years, on pain of death if he be untrue to her henceforth.' There is no evidence that this provision was ever enforced or existed. After pursuing Anne Boleyn,before her relationship with the King, Wyatt had begun a long-term affair with Elizabeth Darrell and he continued his association with his mistress.On 14 February1542, the night after Catherine Howard had been condemned to death for adultery, Henry VIII held a dinner for many men and women. The king was said to havepaid great attention to Elizabeth and to Anne Basset and both were thought to be possible choices for his sixth wife. In early 1542, more than a year beforeWyatt’s death, Elizabeth Brooke's name appeared in Spanish dispatches as one of three ladies in whom Henry VIII was said to be interested as a possible sixthwife.The imperial ambassador, Chapuys, wrote that the lady for whom the king \"showed the greatest regard was a sister of Lord Cobham, whom Wyatt, sometime ago, divorced for adultery. She is a pretty young creature, with wit enough to do as badly as the others if she were to try.\" It would appear that theambassador was mistaken, as at the time, Elizabeth Brooke was nearly forty years old. Perhaps Elizabeth Brooke had been confused with her beautiful youngniece, Elisabeth Brooke, the eldest daughter of George Brooke, 9th Baron Cobham, who married William Parr, 1st Marquess of Northampton. Elisabeth Brooke,Lord Cobham’s daughter, may have been at court on this occasion, since she was definitely there the following year. She would have been nearly sixteen inJanuary 1542 and in later years was accounted one of the most beautiful women of her time. More important to a king who had just rid himself of a wife(Catherine Howard) who had committed adultery, this second Elisabeth had a spotless reputation.Second marriageFollowing Wyatt’s death, Elizabeth Brookemarried Sir Edward Warner (1511–1565), of Polstead Hall and Plumstead, Norfolk, Lord Lieutenant of the Tower. The couple had three sons:Edward, who died ininfancyThomasHenryWarner was removed from his position on July 28, 1553, at the start of the reign of Mary I, and was arrested on suspicion of treason thefollowing January at his house in Carter Lane when Thomas Wyatt the younger rebelled against the Crown. Warner was held for nearly a year. Elizabeth’s son wasexecuted. Edward, the son she had with Warner, died young. Two other sons died in infancy. The family fortunes were restored under Elizabeth I and Warnerreclaimed his post at the Tower of London. His wife died there in August 1560 and was buried within its precincts.AncestryPassage 3:Elizabeth JocelinElizabethBrooke Jocelin (sometimes spelled \"Joceline\" or \"Joscelin\") was an English writer believed to have lived from 1595–1622. She is best known for her work TheMother's Legacy to her Vnborn Child. The book was first published two years after Jocelin's death in childbirth.Early lifeShe was the daughter of Sir Richard Brookeof Norton, Cheshire, and his wife Joan, daughter of William Chaderton, bishop of Lincoln. Her parents separated, and her mother returned home. Jocelin'sgrandfather, Bishop Chaderton, was mainly responsible for her upbringing. Elizabeth's childhood was therefore passed in the house of Bishop Chaderton, whoeducated her. She was extremely well versed in art, religion and language. According to her editor Thomas Goad, she had an exceptional memory.Later lifeIn1616 she married Tourell Jocelin of Cambridgeshire. Foreboding her death in childbirth, she wrote a letter which gently but earnestly exhorted her son ordaughter to piety and good conduct; and a letter to her husband, giving him advice as to the bringing up of the child. These works are thought to have beenwritten at Crowlands, Oakington. She bore a daughter on 12 October 1622, and died nine days afterwards. The child, named Theodora, became the wife ofSamuel Fortrey.The Jocelins appeared to lead a rather happy marriage, one that appeared to be mainly based on genuine love. In The Mother's Legacy to herVnborn Child Jocelin writes of how excited she is to be carrying her husband's child and that they have been working together to plan the best possible life fortheir childJocelin is noted for being \"one of the most notable young women of the times of James I”The LegacieThe Legacie was first published in 1624 with a longApprobation by Thomas Goad giving some account of Elizabeth Jocelin's life. The second edition is dated 1624 and the third 1625. An exact reprint of the thirdedition, with an introduction by an anonymous Edinburgh editor, appeared in 1852. The edition printed at Oxford, 'for the satisfaction of the person of qualityherein concerned,' in 1684, and reprinted at the end of C. H. Cranford's Sermons in 1840, is an altered one, the editor having made changes in religious matters.The manuscript of the Legacie is in the British Museum (Addit. MS. 27467). It is still somewhat contentious whether the manuscript is by Jocelin, and whetherGoad's editorial work brought in substantive change in the content.Jocelin wrote The Mother’s Legacy to her Vnborn Child during the Early Modern period whenwomen were typically defined by their existence in the domestic sphere. Jocelin's work kept in line with the expectations of women during the period because ofher clear dedication to her position as a mother.One of the idiosyncratic things about the mother's advice text is Jocelin's choice of tone and word use to insurethat whether her child is a boy or a girl he or she will be able to follow the advice she leaves behind. There are clearly different expectations and techniques toraising a son or daughter and Jocelin makes sure to acknowledge these differences while leaving advice for both. For example, she addresses her daughter torespect, obey and be a good mother. Jocelin writes about her desire to protect her daughter “from a potentially difficult and uncomfortable way of life.” Jocelinhas been criticised for her different approaches to raising her child based on its gender. Much like women of her time Jocelin desired for her daughter to beacceptable to society even if it meant limiting her intelligence or unhappiness.One of the largest parts of The Mother’s Legacy to her Vnborn Child is the religiousadvice that Jocelin offers to her unborn child. She urges the child to pray regularly, avoid temptations, acknowledge holy days and be charitable.The tone of thebook is one filled with optimism and pride over becoming a new mother. Jocelin is clearly excited about meeting her child even though she seems to understandthat birthing the child will be a great risk to herself.Much of the books instruction is directed toward Jocelin's husband including how to properly select a wet nursefor their child if Elizabeth should die.Excerpts from The Mother's Legacy to her Vnborn Child:“I desire her bringing up may bee learning the Bible, as my sistersdoe, good housewifery, writing, and good works: other learning a woman needs not; though I admire it in those whom God hath blest with descretion, yet Idesired not much in my owne, having seene that sometimes women have greater portions of learning than wisdome, which is of no better use to them than a"} +{"doc_id":"doc_72","qid":"","text":"Passage 1:Ian Barry (director)Ian Barry is an Australian director of film and TV.Select creditsWaiting for Lucas (1973) (short)Stone (1974) (editor only)The ChainReaction (1980)Whose Baby?

It premiered at the 1996 Toronto International FilmFestival and went into limited release on September 13, 1996. The soundtrack features artists Burt Bacharach, Elvis Costello, Joni Mitchell, Gerry Goffin and JillSobule, replicating the musical style that emerged from the Brill Building, New York City's music factory in the heyday of girl groups and \"pre-fab\" acts like TheMonkees.PlotIn 1958, Philadelphia steel heiress Edna Buxton enters and wins a talent contest. When she attempts to record a demo, a studio producer tells herthat girl singers are not currently getting signed and record companies are even trying to get rid of the ones on their rosters. However, when Edna tells him thatshe wrote the song she wants to record, he is impressed enough to direct her to producer Joel Milner, who takes her under his wing, renames her \"DeniseWaverly\" and invents a blue-collar persona for her. Milner reworks her song for a male doo-wop group, the Stylettes, as male groups are far more marketable,and the song becomes a hit.Denise moves to New York City and becomes a songwriter in the Brill Building. At a party, she meets the arrogant songwriter HowardCaszatt, and despite an awkward initial meeting, they begin a relationship. Denise offers to write a song specifically for her three girlfriends, which culminates inJoel auditioning the girls and creating the girl group the Luminaries. Howard and Denise also begin writing together and eventually get married and have a child.They pen a song called “Unwanted Number,” based on a young girl's unwanted pregnancy. Although it is banned from radio, it attracts the attention of prominentand influential disc jockey John Murray, who, despite the negative attention around the song, credits Denise with sparking the girl group craze.Joel recruits thebeautiful English songwriter Cheryl Steed, who immediately catches Howard's eye, and initially, Denise's disdain. Cheryl diffuses Denise’s suspicion by informingher that she already has a songwriting partner – her husband Matthew. Joel tasks Denise and Cheryl with writing a song for the ingénue singer Kelly Porter. Thetwo women bond over the realization that the young songstress is in a closeted lesbian relationship with her roommate Marion. They write the coded song \"MySecret Love\" for Kelly, which becomes a hit.Denise’s relationship with Howard becomes strained due to his philandering with other women. When she learns she ispregnant with Howard's second baby, Cheryl convinces her to see an obstetrician, who safely performs an illegal abortion. Denise and Cheryl then become closefriends and Denise eventually breaks up with Howard.In 1966, Milner offers to send Denise to the studio to sing for herself. As an added incentive, he offers theproduction assistance of Jay Phillips, the frontman of California rock group the Riptides, to produce her single. Although initially hesitant as she says she finds thewhole \"surf and turf\" sound laughable, she writes and sings the song \"God Give Me Strength\" and is delighted by Jay's skillful orchestral arrangement. The recordshe puts out with him, however, is a commercial failure. Between the loss suffered by her foundering single and the advent of the British Invasion, Milner'sfortunes are depleted. Denise blames herself for making the song too personal and bankrupting Joel. He tells her she did more for him than she realized and thatit was time for them both to move on.Denise and Jay become a couple and resettle in California. Jay treats Denise’s daughter Luna as his own, but he is reclusiveand a user of recreational drugs like marijuana and peyote. Denise has since joined forces with the newly-divorced Cheryl to write songs for a bubblegum pop TVshow, Where the Action Is, though Jay insists to Denise that writing music for TV is beneath her.Jay's behavior becomes more erratic and he becomesincreasingly paranoid, causing his bandmates to distance themselves from him. He falls into a period of deep depression that seemingly abates after a visit fromhis friend \"Jonesy\", who reminds him of the things that are important in his life, including his \"groovy new old lady\", Denise.Thinking that the worst is over,Denise invites Jay to join her and Cheryl at the Whisky a Go Go to see Doris, a former Luminary member who embarked on a solo career after the girl groupbroke up, perform. Jay declines, saying he has a song idea he wants to explore, so Denise ends up going with Cheryl. While the women celebrate, Jay is revealedto be still in the throes of his depression; having put on a brave face for Denise's benefit. He walks into the ocean, taking his own life. Denise is further distraughtto discover that Jay's fans blame her for not intervening in his death.Numbed by the loss, Denise retires with her family to a hippie commune in northernCalifornia and tries to make sense of everything that has happened. Some time later, Joel visits Denise at the commune and takes her and the children to dinner.That night, he criticizes how far down she's allowed her grieving to take her and says that it's destroying her and her talent. Denise angrily lashes out, tellingMilner that he'd be nothing without her success. He agrees; however, the more he agrees with her, the angrier she becomes. She strikes him then collapses intears, grieving for Jay. Milner consoles her and the two are reconciled.With Joel's help, Denise creates the platinum-selling work \"Grace of My Heart\". As she laysdown the piano track for the song, her life is recounted in pictures, leading to the moment when her own mother receives a copy of her album in the mail with ahandwritten note. Seemingly proud of her daughter's success, she smiles.CastProductionThe story is loosely based on the career arc of singer-songwriter CaroleKing, who, like Denise, started out writing songs in the Brill Building for artists like Aretha Franklin, The Drifters, and Little Eva. The character Jay Phillips isloosely modeled on Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys.Allison Anders said she was inspired to make the film as a fan of the girl group The Shangri-Las. She was alsoinspired by the Alan Betrock book Girl Groups: The Story of A Sound, which contained photos of \"Carole King and Gerry Goffin then others like Cynthia Weil andBarry Mann...it was interesting to read what Alan had to say about what that time was like back then and how they were all really just kids when they had been apart of that.\"Martin Scorsese is credited as Grace of My Heart's executive producer, and the film is co-edited by Scorsese’s longtime editor ThelmaSchoonmaker.ReceptionReleaseGrace of My Heart debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 8, 1996. It was theatrically released a fewdays later on September 13, 1996, just weeks ahead of Oscar-winning actor Tom Hanks' directorial debut That Thing You Do!, which also covered the early tomid-1960s pop music scene and featured original, retro-styled songs on the soundtrack. Grace of My Heart grossed $660,313 worldwide.Critical responseOn thereview aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 79% of 28 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 6.9/10.David Ansen of Newsweek praised the filmand wrote while it \"is not the smoothest trip\" story-wise, \"Anders's rough edges are more than offset by the story's contagious vitality...Denise's funky journey toself-discovery is a fresh feminist take on an era that has always been seen through men's eyes. It may not be precision-tooled, but it's triumphantly alive.\"TimeOut wrote, \"There's a lovely sequence about a third of the way into Anders' delightful movie which follows a song from conception - the street scene that inspiresit - through the writing, to the recording session. This seamlessly edited passage swings like the snappy '60s girl pop it emulates. Like the film as a whole, itworks as a musical in its own right, and as history and critique of the pop process.\"Critics roundly praised the film's music, particularly the Brill Building scenes,and lauded the film's approach of pairing popular songwriters of the 1960s with contemporary artists. Mark Caro of the Chicago Tribune wrote:What Anderscaptures is the feel of the time: the nervous thrill of singing a song you love; the sanctified atmosphere of a recording studio, with red padded walls that matchthe singer's lipstick and a slit of a window that reveals a live bassist; the songwriter's excitement in realizing that songs can be about people's actual lives and stillbe commercial; the breathlessness of keeping up with an industry that may love a cappella vocal groups one day and rock bands the next.Criticism centered onthe film's shift of the action from New York City to California to center on Denise's relationship with Jay, with many arguing it is where the story loses focus. RogerEbert praised the music and Douglas' performance, but said Anders tries to cover too much ground and would have liked a less condensed story.In a 2020episode of his podcast Kermode on Film, film critic Mark Kermode named Grace of My Heart number one on his countdown of the top five most underrated films ofall time.

The sequel to Lethal Weapon 2 (1989), it is the third installment in the Lethal Weapon film series and stars Mel Gibson, Danny Glover, Joe Pesci, ReneRusso, and Stuart Wilson.In Lethal Weapon 3, LAPD Sergeants Martin Riggs (Gibson) and Roger Murtaugh (Glover) pursue Jack Travis (Wilson), a former LAPDlieutenant turned ruthless arms dealer, during the six days prior to Murtaugh's retirement. Riggs and Murtaugh are joined by Leo Getz (Pesci) as well as internalaffairs Sergeant Lorna Cole (Russo).The film was a box office success, grossing over $320 million worldwide. It was the fifth-highest-grossing film of 1992 and thehighest-grossing installment in the series overall. The film was followed by Lethal Weapon 4 in 1998.PlotA week before his retirement, L.A.P.D. Sergeant RogerMurtaugh and his partner Martin Riggs are demoted to uniform duties after failing to defuse an office building bomb. While on street patrol they witness the theftof an armored car, and help to thwart the crime assisted by armored car driver Delores. One of the two thieves gets away, but the other is taken into policecustody. The suspect is found to be a known associate of Jack Travis, a former LAPD lieutenant who is running an arms smuggling ring in Los Angeles. Thedepartment is further concerned that the thieves were using armor-piercing bullets. Riggs and Murtaugh are re-promoted and assigned to work with SergeantLorna Cole from internal affairs to track down Travis.Travis is currently negotiating with mobster Tyrone regarding his arms deal. The armored car thief thatescaped is brought to Travis, who subsequently kills him in front of Tyrone for putting the police on his trail. Travis then uses his old police credentials to enter theinterrogation room and kill the suspect in custody before he can be interviewed. Travis is unaware that closed-circuit cameras have been installed in the station,and Cole is able to confirm Travis' identity. While the three are reviewing the footage, their good friend Leo Getz, who has been helping Murtaugh sell his house,arrives and immediately recognizes Travis from several prior business deals and his love of ice hockey. Murtaugh, Riggs, and Getz narrowly miss capturing Travisat a hockey match, and Getz is wounded. However, Getz manages to provide them with information of a warehouse Travis owns, which they suspect is where hehas stored his arms shipments.Riggs and Murtaugh contact Cole for backup before they raid the warehouse, and stop at a food truck to wait for her. As they waitfor their food, they witness a drug deal and attempt to stop it. Murtaugh kills a gunman who fired at them, while the rest escape. Murtaugh recognizes thegunman, Darryl, a close friend of his son Nick. With Murtaugh emotionally distraught, Riggs and Cole head to the warehouse, where they successfully secure hisnext arms shipment delivery. That night, Riggs and Cole find they have feelings for each other and sleep together. Riggs later finds a guilt-ridden Murtaugh drunkin his boat and consoles him in time for Darryl's funeral. There, Darryl's father passionately insists that Murtaugh find the person responsible for giving Darryl thegun.Cole finds that Darryl's gun, the armor-piercing bullets, and the arms they recovered were originally in police custody, meant to be destroyed, and werestolen by Travis; they revoke his credentials from the system. They further tie the guns to Tyrone and interrogate him. Tyrone directs them to an auto garagewhere many of his henchmen work from. Riggs, Murtaugh, and Cole are able to arrest several of the men. Meanwhile, Travis has one of his men hack into thecomputer system to find another arms storage area. He then forces Captain Murphy under gunpoint to take him to this new facility so he can steal the guns usingMurphy's credentials. Cole finds the evidence of hacking and Murphy's absence, and the three, along with a rookie cop, Edwards, who looks up to Riggs andMurtaugh, intercept Travis. They are able to rescue Murphy and stop Travis and his men before he can take the weapons, but Edwards is killed during theirpursuit.Getz provides information on a housing development owned by Travis's shell company. Riggs, Murtaugh, and Cole infiltrate the site at night and enter alarge-scale gunfight. Riggs sets the construction site on fire and most of Travis' men are killed, while Travis wounds Cole. When Travis uses a bulldozer to chasedown Riggs, using its blade as a bullet shield, Murtaugh tosses Daryl's gun, now loaded with the armor-piercing bullets, to Riggs, who then shoots and kills Travisthrough the blade. After finding out Cole wore two layers of kevlar vests, Riggs admits his love for her as she is taken away in a chopper.The next day,Murtaugh's family is celebrating his retirement, when Murtaugh reveals to Getz that he has decided to not sell the house and stay with the force, preserving hispartnership with Riggs. As the film ends, Riggs announces his relationship with Cole to Murtaugh.CastProductionThe movie was filmed from October 1991 toJanuary 1992.Richard Donner, an animal-rights and pro-choice activist, placed many posters and stickers for these causes in the film. Of note are the T-shirt wornby one of Murtaugh's daughters (the actress's idea), an 18-wheeler with an anti-fur slogan on the side, and a sticker on a locker in the police station.DemolitionscenesIn the film's first scene, Riggs accidentally sets off a bomb that destroys the ICSI Building. The ICSI Building was actually the former City Hall building ofOrlando, Florida, located at the intersection of Orange Avenue and South Street in Downtown Orlando. Warner Bros. decided to use the destruction of the buildingin the film, and as a result paid $500,000 for the demolition. From August to October 1991, the production crew fitted the old Orlando City Hall building featuredin the opening scene with carefully placed explosives to create the visual effect of a bomb explosion. Bill Frederick, then mayor of Orlando, Florida, was thepoliceman who sarcastically claps and said \"Bravo!\" to Murtaugh and Riggs after the explosion.The building was demolished so that it would collapse slightlyforward (toward Orange Avenue), minimizing the chances of it damaging the new City Hall building, built directly behind it. The space was cleared out andbecame a plaza for the new City Hall, with a fountain and a monument.The film's climax scene, where an under-construction housing development is set ablaze,was filmed at an unfinished housing development in Lancaster, California. The unfinished houses, which had been sitting abandoned and slated to be torn down,were coated in flame retardant and propane gas lines to ensure that the houses could withstand re-shoots. The original homes were eventually demolished andwas eventually redeveloped into another housing development.During the closing credits, Riggs and Murtaugh drive up to an old hotel where another bomb hasbeen placed. Before they (their doubles) can exit the car, the bomb explodes and destroys the building. The hotel was actually the former Soreno Hotel indowntown St. Petersburg, Florida. The film's producers agreed to help with the cost of the 68-year-old building's implosion for the purposes of their film.HockeygameA November 26, 1991 NHL game between the Los Angeles Kings and the Toronto Maple Leafs at the Great Western Forum served as the basis for thehockey scene featured in the movie.The league allowed production to capture the real-life action, although goaltender Kelly Hrudey eventually became annoyedwith the additional lights used by the crew and asked filming to stop.The NHL also let Donner stage part of the scene, where Riggs commandeers the arena's PAsystem to lure out Jack Travis, during the game's second intermission. It was completed in two takes. However, the director was not allowed to film the segmentwhere Riggs chases down Travis onto the ice that evening. It was completed after a Kings practice. In closer shots, these sequences used extras dressed inunlicensed jerseys that only roughly resemble those worn by the actual teams. A contemporary AP report cites Lethal Weapon's excessive violence as the reasonwhy the NHL limited its collaboration. However, the organization took a relaxed stance towards the more intense Sudden Death a few years later. The Los AngelesKings later featured in a season three episode of the Lethal Weapon TV series, entitled \"What The Puck?\".WritingJeffrey Boam's first two drafts of the script weredifferent from the final film. The character of Lorna for example was not a woman in original drafts, but the original character still had the same personality andwas just as lethal and crazy as Riggs, making him his match. Riggs also had an affair with Roger's daughter Rianne, and a few parts in the final film where Rogersuspects that Riggs and Rianne are interested in each other are only parts left from the original drafts.Director Richard Donner demanded some big changes onthe script which included changing the original character of Lorna (who had a different name in earlier drafts) into a woman and turning her into Riggs's girlfriend.He also re-worked the script to be less story-oriented and not focus on the main villains but instead on the relationship between Riggs and Murtaugh. He alsotoned down action scenes from the script and brought back Leo Getz into the story. All of his scenes were written in afterwards. In the original script Leo had leftL.A. for New York. Boam had some disagreements with changes that Donner made, but he was not against them. Boam was fired after he wrote his first twodrafts of the script. One of the reasons for this was because Donner wasn't interested in the script and he disagreed with some parts of Boam's original draft.After another writer, Robert Mark Kamen, was hired to re-write the script, Boam was called to return to work on it again. The filmmakers realized that Kamen'sre-writes were not working. Boam asked to work alone on the script and ended up constantly changing it from October 1991 until January 1992 while filming wastaking place. These types of changes also occurred during the filming of Lethal Weapon 2.According to Kamen in a 2012 interview, many of his writingcontributions ended up in the final film. Kamen also wrote many parts of the previous film in the series, with the most significant portions being the South Africanvillains.Screenwriter Jeffrey Boam is credited twice in the 'screenplay by' credits. This is because he did one draft by himself (granting him the first credit) and asecond draft collaborating with Robert Mark Kamen (granting him the second credit). In this rare scenario, Boam was hired to rewrite his own script with a secondwriter. After receiving the unusual writing credits, the advertising department assumed it was a misprint and produced posters with the credits \"Story by JeffreyBoam, Screenplay by Jeffrey Boam and Robert Mark Kamen\". After a few of the posters had been sent out, the WGA contacted the department, telling them thatthe initial credits were the correct ones, and ordering the posters to be recalled and destroyed.Carrie Fisher was an uncredited script doctor on the film.MartialartsRusso received martial arts training for a month before shooting from Cheryl Wheeler-Dixon, who had a karate background and was a former kickboxing"} +{"doc_id":"doc_76","qid":"","text":"Passage 1:Ladies in DistressLadies in Distress is a 1938 American drama film directed by Gus Meins and written by Dorrell McGowan and Stuart E.

The art director was Henri Menessier.Passage 4:Sidney OlcottSidney Olcott (born John Sidney Allcott, September 20, 1872 – December 16, 1949) was a Canadian-born film producer, director, actor and screenwriter.BiographyBorn John Sidney Allcott in Toronto, he became one of the first great directors of the motion picture business. With a desire to be an actor, a young Sidney Olcott went to New York City where he worked in the theatre until 1904 when he performed as a film actor with the Biograph Studios.In 1907, Frank J. Marion and Samuel Long, with financial backing from George Kleine, formed a new motion picture company called the Kalem Company and were able to lure the increasingly successful Olcott away from Biograph. Olcott was offered the sum of ten dollars per picture and under the terms of his contract, Olcott was required to direct a minimum of one, one-reel picture of about a thousand feet every week. After making a number of very successful films for the Kalem studio, including Ben Hur (1907) with its dramatic chariot race scene, and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1908), Olcott became the company's president and was rewarded with one share of its stock.In 1910 Sidney Olcott demonstrated his creative thinking when he made Kalem Studios the first ever to travel outside the United States to film on location.Of Irish ancestry, and knowing that in America there was a huge built-in Irish audience, Olcott went to Ireland where he made a film called A Lad from Old Ireland. He would go on to make more than a dozen films there and later on only the outbreak of World War I prevented him from following through with his plans to build a permanent studio in Beaufort, County Kerry, Ireland. The Irish films led to him taking a crew to Palestine in 1912 to make the first five-reel film ever, titled From the Manger to the Cross, the life story of Jesus.The film concept was at first the subject of much scepticism but when it appeared on screen, it was lauded by the public and the critics. Costing $35,000 to produce, From the Manger to the Cross earned the Kalem Company profits of almost $1 million, a staggering amount in 1912. The motion picture industry acclaimed him as its greatest director and the film influenced the direction many great filmmakers would take such as D.W. Griffith and Cecil B. DeMille. From the Manger to the Cross is still shown today to film societies and students studying early film making techniques. In 1998 the film was selected for the National Film Registry of the United States Library of Congress.Despite making the studio owners very rich men, they refused to increase his salary beyond the $150 a week he was then earning. From the enormous profits made for his employers, Olcott's dividend on the one share they had given him amounted to $350. As a result, Sidney Olcott resigned and took some time off, making only an occasional film until 1915 when he was encouraged by his Canadian friend Mary Pickford to join her at Famous Players–Lasky, later Paramount Pictures. The Kalem Company never recovered from the mistake of losing Olcott and a few years after his departure, the operation was acquired by Vitagraph Studios in 1916.Olcott was a founding member of the East Coast chapter of the Motion Picture Directors Association, a forerunner to today's Directors Guild of America and would later serve as its president. Like the rest of the film industry, Sidney Olcott moved to Hollywood, California, where he directed many more successful and acclaimed motion pictures with the leading stars of the day.Olcott married actress Valentine Grant, the star of his 1916 film, The Innocent Lie.During World War II, Olcott opened his home to visiting British Commonwealth soldiers in Los Angeles. In his book titled Stardust and Shadows: Canadians in Early Hollywood, writer Charles Foster tells of this period in Olcott's life, and of how he was introduced to many members of Hollywood's Canadian community through Olcott. Olcott died in Hollywood, California, in the house of his friend Robert Vignola where he lived after the death of Valentine Grant. Wanting to be buried in Canada, he is buried in Park Lawn cemetery in Toronto, Ontario.Partial filmography190719081909191019111912191319141915191619181919Marriage for Convenience (1919)1920Scratch My Back (1920)1921The Right Way (1921)God's Country and the Law (1921)Pardon My French (1921)1922Timothy's Quest (1922)1923The Green Goddess (1923)Little Old New York (1923)1924The Humming Bird (1924)Monsieur Beaucaire (1924)The Only Woman (1924)1925Salome of the Tenements (1925)The Charmer (1925)Not So Long Ago (1925)The Best People (1925)1926The White Black Sheep (1926)Ranson's Folly (1926)The Amateur Gentleman (1926)1927The Claw (1927)See alsoCanadian pioneers in early HollywoodPassage 5:When Lovers PartWhen Lovers Part is an American silent film produced by Kalem Company and directed by Sidney Olcott with Gene Gauntier, Jack J.

It is set at a United States East Coast university. First screened at the 68th Venice International Film Festival and the Toronto International Film Festival, it opened in New York and Los Angeles on April 6, 2012.PlotNewly transferred college student Lily becomes friends with Violet, Heather and Rose, a clique who run the campus' suicide prevention center. They date less attractive men to help the men's confidence; they try to clean up the \"unhygenic\" Doar Dorm; they clash with the editor of the campus newspaper, The Daily Complainer, who wants to close down the \"elitist\" fraternities; and they try to start a new dance craze, The Sambola!CastDevelopmentDamsels in Distress was Stillman's first produced feature since The Last Days of Disco (1998). In August 1998, he had moved from New York to Paris with his wife and two daughters. In that time, he wrote a novelization of The Last Days of Disco, in addition to several original film scripts which were not made, including one set in Jamaica in the 1960s. He resolved to make a lower-budgeted film in the style of his debut, Metropolitan (1990). In 2006, he met with Liz Glotzer and Mart Shafer at Castle Rock Entertainment, who had financed his second and third films. According to Shafer:Whit said, 'I want to write a movie about four girls in a dorm who are trying to keep things civil in an uncivil world.' It took him a year to write 23 pages. Six months later, a few more dribbled in. He just doesn't work very fast. Finally we had a draft. When we started production he said, 'I think 12 years is the right amount of time between movies.'Castle Rock provided most of the $3 million budget.ProductionThe movie was filmed on location in New York City on Staten Island at the Sailors' Snug Harbor Cultural Center. Filming finished on November 5, 2010.Stillman has said that the film was cut between its festival and theatrical runs:I felt the MPAA helped us out there. I'd hoped to get a PG-13 even with the Venice cut, but in the first viewing they thought it was R. So we looked at it, the editor [Andrew Hafitz] and I, and we saw immediately some things that would make it pretty clearly PG-13, and we felt would help the movie. There could've been a little heaviness of talking a little too much about what was going on, and it would delay the laugh until later – which I think is always good. We were really happy with the small changes we made. We made tiny changes in two scenes: we took out the text for what the ALA stood for... I think it gave it a Lubitschean vagueness and delayed the laugh.MusicThe film features an original score by Mark Suozzo. The song \"Sambola!\" is written by Suozzo, Michael A. Levine, and Lou Christie.ReceptionOn review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 75% based on reviews from 143 critics. The website's critics consensus reads, \"Damsels in Distress can sometimes feel mannered and outlandish, but it's redeemed by director Whit Stillman's oddball cleverness and Greta Gerwig's dryly funny performance.\" On Metacritic, it has a score of 67% based on reviews from 33 critics.In Variety, Leslie Felperin wrote, \"a film that raises laughs even with its end credits, Whit Stillman's whimsical campus comedy Damsels in Distress is an utter delight.\" In Time, critic Richard Corliss wrote, \"Innocence deserted teen movies ages ago, but it makes a comeback, revived and romanticized, in this joyous anachronism.\" Andrew O'Hehir of Salon praised Gerwig's \"powerful and complicated performance\" and said that \" it's both a relief and a delight to discover that Stillman remains one of the funniest writers in captivity.\" He concluded, \"I laughed until I cried, and you may too (if "} +{"doc_id":"doc_77","qid":"","text":"Passage 1:Ole Arntzen LützowOle Arntzen Lützow (14 November 1801 – 2 November 1871) was a Norwegian politician.He was elected to the Parliament ofNorway in 1839, 1842 and 1845, representing the rural constituency of Hedemarkens Amt.

Leading Seaman Hobson goes home to save his marriage, while a reluctant Torpedo Gunner's Mate Corrigan departs for his wedding in London. When the crew are recalled early Corrigan is relieved, though later regrets not completing his marriage. Sea Tiger has been assigned the top secret mission to sink Nazi Germany's new battleship, the Brandenburg, before she transits the Kiel Canal for sea trials in the Baltic Sea. Sea Tiger must put to sea immediately.Crossing the North Sea, the submarine picks up three shot-down Luftwaffe pilots from a rescue buoy, and prevents their radio alert to German forces. When the submarine enters a minefield, an airman panics and reveals the Brandenburg is further ahead than thought. The airman is attacked by a countryman and subsequently dies. Taylor decides on a desperate gamble to pursue the Brandenburg into the German-controlled Baltic Sea.When the Brandenburg is spotted, Sea Tiger fires all its torpedoes, but dives before assessing their impact due to German destroyers dropping depth charges. By expelling oil and other debris including the body of the German airman, Taylor deceives the Germans into believing that the submarine has sunk. Although successfully escaped, Sea Tiger no longer has enough oil to reach Britain. The Germans, convinced that the Sea Tiger has been sunk, have Lord Haw Haw broadcast to Britain announcing the destruction of the Sea Tiger.Taylor decides to have his crew abandon ship on the Danish island of Hågø (which is in fact the island of Bågø). Hobson, a former merchant seaman who speaks German and knows the port on the island, persuades Taylor to let him go ashore and search for oil. He succeeds, and Sea Tiger enters the harbour under cover of darkness, using Hobson's intelligence about the harbour depth. Aided by friendly Danish sailors, they refuel while Hobson and other crewmen hold off the German garrison. Although Pincher (the cook) is killed and Oxford and Lieutenant Johnson are wounded, they get back to the re-fuelled submarine and start to leave the port. While they leave though, the tanker they were able to refuel from is hit by German shells and catches fire. Taylor, not wanting to risk the Sea Tiger any longer, continues to leave the port and makes it out to the open sea.While returning to Britain, the crew are met by an escorting trawler and learn from them that they sank the Brandenburg.

John Mills prepared for his role as the captain of Sea Tiger by sailing in a submarine on a training mission down the Clyde. He recalled a crash dive: The ship then seemed to stand on her nose and I felt her speeding like an arrow towards the sea bed; charts and crockery went flying in all directions; I hung on to a rail near the periscope trying to look heroic and totally unconcerned; the only thing that concerned me was the fact that I was sure that my face had turned a pale shade of pea-green.Exterior shots of the submarines P614 and P615 were used for Sea Tiger (with the final number painted over to make \"P61\").

His parents had emigrated from Monreale, Sicily, to Chicago's Near West Side, in \"Little Italy,\" where his father worked at one time as the personal barber forgangster Al Capone. Laine's family appears to have had several organized crime connections, and young Francesco was living with his grandfather when the latterwas killed by rival gangsters.The eldest of eight children, Laine grew up in the Old Town neighborhood (first at 1446 N. North Park Avenue and later at 331 W.Schiller Street) and got his first taste of singing as a member of the choir in the Church of the Immaculate Conception's elementary school across the street fromthe North Park Avenue home. He later attended Lane Technical High School, where he helped to develop his lung power and breath control by joining the trackand field and basketball teams. He realized he wanted to be a singer when he missed time in school to see Al Jolson's current talking picture, The Singing Fool.Jolson would later visit Laine when both were filming pictures in 1949, and at about this time, Jolson remarked that Laine was going to put all the other singersout of business.Early career and stylistic influencesEven in the 1920s, his vocal abilities were enough to get him noticed by a slightly older \"in crowd\" at hisschool, who began inviting him to parties and to local dance clubs, including Chicago's Merry Garden Ballroom. At 17, he sang before a crowd of 5,000 at TheMerry Garden Ballroom to such applause that he ended up performing five encores on his first night. Laine was giving dance lessons for a charity ball at the MerryGarden when he was called to the bandstand to sing:Soon I found myself on the main bandstand before this enormous crowd, Laine recalled. I was reallynervous, but I started singing 'Beside an Open Fireplace,' a popular song of the day. It was a sentimental tune and the lyrics choked me up. When I got done, thetears were streaming down my cheeks and the ballroom became quiet. I was very nearsighted and couldn't see the audience. I thought that the people didn't likeme.Some of his other early influences during this period included Enrico Caruso, Carlo Buti, and especially Bessie Smith—a record of whose somehow wound up in"} +{"doc_id":"doc_80","qid":"","text":"Passage 1:Pete TownshendPeter Dennis Blandford Townshend (; born 19 May 1945) is an English musician. He is the co-founder, leader, guitarist, second leadvocalist and principal songwriter of the Who, one of the most influential rock bands of the 1960s and 1970s. Due to his aggressive playing style and innovativesongwriting techniques, Townshend's works with the Who and in other projects have earned him critical acclaim.Townshend has written more than 100 songs for12 of the Who's studio albums. These include concept albums, the rock operas Tommy (1969) and Quadrophenia (1973), plus popular rock radio staples such asWho's Next (1971); as well as dozens more that appeared as non-album singles, bonus tracks on reissues, and tracks on rarities compilation albums such asOdds & Sods (1974). He has also written more than 100 songs that have appeared on his solo albums, as well as radio jingles and television theme songs.Whileknown primarily as a guitarist, Townshend also plays keyboards, banjo, accordion, harmonica, ukulele, mandolin, violin, synthesiser, bass guitar, and drums; heis self-taught on all of these instruments and plays on his own solo albums, several Who albums, and as a guest contributor to an array of other artists'recordings. Townshend has also contributed to and authored many newspaper and magazine articles, book reviews, essays, books, and scripts, and he hascollaborated as a lyricist and composer for many other musical acts. In 1983, Townshend received the Brit Award for Lifetime Achievement and in 1990 he wasinducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of the Who. Townshend was ranked No. 3 in Dave Marsh's 1994 list of Best Guitarists in The New Bookof Rock Lists. In 2001, he received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award as a member of the Who; and in 2008 he received Kennedy Center Honors. He wasranked No. 10 in Gibson.com's 2011 list of the top 50 guitarists, and No. 10 in Rolling Stone's updated 2011 list of the 100 greatest guitarists of all time. He andRoger Daltrey received The George and Ira Gershwin Award for Lifetime Musical Achievement at UCLA on 21 May 2016.Early life and educationTownshend wasborn in Chiswick, West London, at the Chiswick Hospital, Netheravon Road, in the UK. He came from a musical family: his father, Cliff Townshend, was aprofessional alto saxophonist in the Royal Air Force's dance band the Squadronaires and his mother, Betty (née Dennis), was a singer with the Sydney Torch andLes Douglass Orchestras. The Townshends had a volatile marriage, as both drank heavily and possessed fiery tempers. Cliff Townshend was often away from hisfamily touring with his band while Betty carried on affairs with other men. The two split when Townshend was a toddler and he was sent to live with his maternalgrandmother Emma Dennis, whom Pete later described as \"clinically insane\". The two-year separation ended when Cliff and Betty purchased a house together onWoodgrange Avenue in middle-class Acton, and the young Pete was happily reunited with his parents. His neighbourhood was one-third Polish, and a devoutJewish family upstairs shared their housing with them and cooking with them—many of his father's closest friends were Jewish.Townshend says he did not havemany friends growing up, so he spent much of his boyhood reading adventure novels like Gulliver's Travels and Treasure Island. He enjoyed his family's frequentexcursions to the seaside and the Isle of Man. It was on one of these trips in the summer of 1956 that he repeatedly watched the 1956 film Rock Around theClock, sparking his fascination with American rock and roll. Not long thereafter, he went to see Bill Haley perform in London, Townshend's first concert. At thetime, he did not see himself pursuing a career as a professional musician; instead, he wanted to become a journalist.Upon passing the eleven-plus exam,Townshend was enrolled at Acton County Grammar School. At Acton County, he was frequently bullied because he had a large nose, an experience thatprofoundly affected him. His grandmother Emma purchased his first guitar for Christmas in 1956, an inexpensive Spanish model. Though his father taught him acouple of chords, Townshend was largely self-taught on the instrument and never learned to read music. Townshend and school friend John Entwistle formed ashort-lived trad jazz group, the Confederates, featuring Townshend on banjo and Entwistle on horns. The Confederates played gigs at the Congo Club, a youthclub run by the Acton Congregational Church, and covered Acker Bilk, Kenny Ball, and Lonnie Donegan. However, both became influenced by the increasingpopularity of rock 'n' roll, with Townshend particularly admiring Cliff Richard's debut single, \"Move It\". Townshend left the Confederates after getting into a fightwith the group's drummer, Chris Sherwin, and purchased a \"reasonably good Czechoslovakian guitar\" at his mother's antique shop.Townshend's brothers Pauland Simon were born in 1957 and 1960, respectively. Lacking the requisite grades to attend university, Pete was faced with the decision of art school, musicschool, or getting a job. He ultimately chose to study graphic design at Ealing Art College, enrolling in 1961. At Ealing, Townshend studied alongside future RollingStones guitarist Ronnie Wood. Notable artists and designers gave lectures at the college such as auto-destructive art pioneer Gustav Metzger. Townshenddropped out in 1964 to focus on music full-time.Musical career1961–1964: the DetoursIn late 1961, Entwistle joined the Detours, a skiffle/rock and roll band, ledby Roger Daltrey. The new bass player then suggested Townshend join as an additional guitarist. In the early days of the Detours, the band's repertoire consistedof instrumentals by the Shadows and the Ventures, as well as pop and trad jazz covers. Their lineup coalesced around Roger Daltrey on lead guitar, Townshendon rhythm guitar, Entwistle on bass, Doug Sandom on drums, and Colin Dawson as vocalist. Daltrey was considered the leader of the group and, according toTownshend, \"ran things the way he wanted them.\" Dawson quit in 1962 after arguing too much with Daltrey, who subsequently moved to lead vocalist. As aresult, Townshend, with Entwistle's encouragement, became the sole guitarist. Through Townshend's mother, the group obtained a management contract withlocal promoter Robert Druce, who started booking the band as a support act for bands including Screaming Lord Sutch, Cliff Bennett and the Rebel Rousers,Shane Fenton and the Fentones, and Johnny Kidd and the Pirates. In 1963, Townshend's father arranged an amateur recording of \"It Was You\", the first song hisson ever wrote. The Detours became aware of a group of the same name in February 1964, forcing them to change their name. Townshend's roommate RichardBarnes came up with \"The Who\", and Daltrey decided it was the best choice.1964–1982: The WhoNot long after the name change, drummer Doug Sandom wasreplaced by Keith Moon, who had been drumming semi-professionally with the Beachcombers for several years. The band was soon taken on by a mod publicistnamed Peter Meaden who convinced them to change their name to the High Numbers to give the band more of a mod feel. After bringing out one failed single(\"I'm the Face/Zoot Suit\"), they dropped Meaden and were signed on by two new managers, Chris Stamp and Kit Lambert, who had paired up with the intentionof finding new talent and creating a documentary about them. The band anguished over a name that all felt represented the band best, and dropped the HighNumbers name, reverting to the Who. In June 1964, during a performance at the Railway Tavern, Townshend accidentally broke the top of his guitar on the lowceiling and proceeded to destroy the entire instrument. The on-stage destruction of instruments soon became a regular part of the Who's live shows.With theassistance of Lambert, the Who caught the ear of American record producer Shel Talmy, who had the band signed to a record contract. Townshend wrote a song,\"I Can't Explain\", as a deliberate sound-alike of the Kinks, another group Talmy produced. Released as a single in January 1965, \"I Can't Explain\" was the Who'sfirst hit, reaching number eight on the British charts. A follow-up single (\"Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere\"), credited to both Townshend and Daltrey, also reachedthe top 10 in the UK. However, it was the release of the Who's third single, \"My Generation\", in November that, according to Who biographer Mark Wilkerson,\"cemented their reputation as a hard-nosed band who reflected the feelings of thousands of pissed-off adolescents at the time.\" The Townshend-penned singlereached number two on the UK charts, becoming the Who's biggest hit. The song and its famous line \"I hope I die before I get old\" was \"very much about tryingto find a place in society\", Townshend stated in an interview with David Fricke.To capitalise on their recent single success, the Who's debut album My Generation(The Who Sings My Generation in the US) was released in late 1965, containing original material written by Townshend and several James Brown covers thatDaltrey favoured. Townshend continued to write several successful singles for the band, including \"Pictures of Lily\", \"Substitute\", \"I'm a Boy\", and \"Happy Jack\".Lambert encouraged Townshend to write longer pieces of music for the next album, which became \"A Quick One, While He's Away\". The album was subsequentlytitled A Quick One and reached No. 4 in the charts upon its release in December 1966. In their stage shows, Townshend developed a guitar stunt in which hewould swing his right arm against the guitar strings in a style reminiscent of the vanes of a windmill. He developed this style after watching Rolling Stonesguitarist Keith Richards warm up before a show.The Who commenced their first US tour on 22 March 1967. Townshend took to trashing his hotel suites, thoughnot to the extent of his bandmate Moon. He also began experimenting with LSD, though stopped taking the drug after receiving a potent hit after the MontereyPop Festival on 18 June. Released in December, their next album was The Who Sell Out—a concept album based on pirate radio, which had been instrumental inraising the Who's popularity. It included several humorous jingles and mock commercials between songs, and the Who's biggest US single, \"I Can See for Miles\".Despite the success of \"I Can See for Miles\", which reached No. 9 on the American charts, Townshend was surprised it was not an even bigger hit, as heconsidered it the best song he had written up to that point.By 1968, Townshend became interested in the teachings of Meher Baba. He began to develop amusical piece about a deaf, dumb, and blind boy who would experience sensations musically. The piece would explore the tenets of Baba's philosophy. The resultwas the rock opera Tommy, released on 23 May 1969 to critical and commercial success. In support of Tommy, the Who launched a tour that included amemorable appearance at the Woodstock Festival on 17 August. While the Who were playing, Yippie leader Abbie Hoffman jumped the stage to complain aboutthe arrest of John Sinclair. Townshend promptly knocked him offstage with his guitar, shouting, \"Fuck off my fucking stage!\"In 1970, the Who released Live at"} +{"doc_id":"doc_81","qid":"","text":"Passage 1:The Man with the Glass EyeThe Man with the Glass Eye (German: Der Mann mit dem Glasauge) is a 1969 West German crime film directed by AlfredVohrer and starring Horst Tappert, Karin Hübner and Hubert von Meyerinck.

When he goes to pick up some photographs at the local pharmacy, he is taken away and questioned by Michel Beghin of French naval intelligence. When his negatives had been developed, some of them turned out to be of French military installations. It is discovered that while the camera is the same make as Peter's, the serial number is different. Peter is released on condition that he find out which other hotel guests have cameras like his.Peter does some snooping and eavesdrops on a suspicious conversation between Paul Heimberger and the hotel's proprietor, Madame Suzanne Koch. He searches Heimberger's room and finds several passports, all with different names and nationalities. Heimberger catches him in the act, but eventually matters are straightened out. Heimberger explains that he was originally a Social Democratic newspaper publisher who was anti-Nazi and been sent to a concentration camp for two years. After he was released, he joined an underground movement against the German regime.Peter spots his camera in the pocket of a dressing-gown belonging to Odette and Andre Roux, a couple on their honeymoon.

The police arrive at that moment and arrest Peter for espionage.The Rouxs leave the hotel, but find Heimberger trying to disable the hotel's car. Andre shoots him dead and the couple speed off to Toulon, unaware that they are being tracked by the police. Beghin had known the identity of the spies all along and merely used Peter to further his true goal; to find out who the Rouxs are reporting to. The spy ring is captured.

She was born in Salisbury, England but grew up in Nottingham, where she still lives.The Chalk ManThe Chalk Man was published in January 2018 by Crown Publishing. Reviews were mixed. The Sun said \"[Tudor] weaves a complex and captivating story in her first novel.\". The Irish Independent said the book \"has an intriguing and creepy premise - but ultimately falls apart after a series of improbable, shading to outlandish, plot twists.\" The book received the 2019 Barry Award for Best First Novel.The SixthA book which to be called \"The Sixth\" was planned in 2022. But with a difficult 12 months between 2020 and 2021, a manuscript was written (approximately 86,000 words) and submitted to the publisher. Unhappy with the result, Tudor got a return from her editor that the book didn't work and needed a complete re-write. Not willing to do the job, Tudor preferred to offer a new book to be published in January 2023 and her publisher will instead publish her first short story collection in Autumn 2022.BibliographyBooksThe Chalk ManThe Taking of Annie Thorne (The Hiding Place)The Other PeopleThe Burning Girls“A Sliver of Darkness”“The Drift”Short storiesThe Man in the Box-Included in \"The Other People\" audiobookThe Lion at the Gate-Included in \"The Other People\" audiobookThe February House-Included in \"The Other People\" audiobookButterfly Island in After Sundown anthologyPassage 7:Return to the Hiding PlaceReturn to the Hiding Place is a 2013 film based upon the factual accounting of Hans Poley's World War II encounter with Corrie ten Boom, her involvement in the Dutch resistance and the wartime harboring of Jewish refugees. A non-Jewish fugitive after he refused to pledge his allegiance to the Nazis, Poley was the first person hidden from the Nazis in the Ten Boom House, which is today a museum in Haarlem, Netherlands. The film is adapted, in part, from Poley's book, Return to the Hiding Place (1993), personal recollections, relayed to screenwriter Dr. Peter C. Spencer, and research from the Dutch National Archives. The film is neither a prequel nor is it a sequel to the 1975 film The Hiding Place, instead, it is a congruent accounting of the Dutch underground's resistance efforts from Poley's perspective. It was directed by Peter C. Spencer and starred John Rhys-Davies, Mimi Sagadin and Craig Robert Young.BackgroundOn May 15, 1940, German occupation of the Netherlands begins with the nation's surrender, food and materials are rationed and evening curfews are imposed, gradually tightening from 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. Persecution of the Jewish population also is gradually implemented, starting with the requirement of wearing a yellow star bearing the word \"Jew\" and attacks against Jewish businesses and places of worship and culminating in the mass transport of Jewish citizens to unknown locations. Conspiracy theories begin to emerge on the fate of those being transported to the concentration camps.Corrie ten Boom (15 "} +{"doc_id":"doc_84","qid":"","text":"Passage 1:Yan Yan (Three Kingdoms)Yan Yan (fl. 211–214 A.D.) was a Chinese military general and politician who served under Liu Zhang, the Governor of Yi Province (covering present-day Sichuan and Chongqing), during the late Eastern Han dynasty of China. Although there is very little information about Yan Yan in historical records, he is given a much prominent role in the 14th-century historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms as a general who initially serves under Liu Zhang before switching allegiance to Liu Bei later.LifeYan Yan was from Linjiang County (\u0000\u0000\u0000), Ba Commandery (\u0000\u0000), which is around present-day Zhong County, Chongqing. He served as a military officer in Ba Commandery under Liu Zhang, the Governor of Yi Province (covering present-day Sichuan and Chongqing); Ba Commandery was one of the commanderies in Yi Province.In 211, Liu Zhang invited the warlord Liu Bei to lead his troops into Yi Province to help him counter the threat posed by his rival, Zhang Lu, in Hanzhong Commandery. When Yan Yan heard about it, he remarked: \"This is equivalent to sitting on an isolated hill and setting a tiger free to protect oneself!\"Around 212, conflict broke out between Liu Zhang and Liu Bei when the latter turned against his host and tried to seize control of Yi Province. In 214, Liu Bei summoned reinforcements from his base in Jing Province to enter Yi Province and assist him in attacking Liu Zhang. Zhang Fei, a general under Liu Bei, led troops to attack Jiangzhou (\u0000\u0000; around present-day Yuzhong District, Chongqing), which was defended by Yan Yan. Zhang Fei defeated Yan Yan, captured him alive, and asked him: \"When my army showed up, why did you put up resistance instead of surrendering?\" Yan Yan replied: \"You people launched an unwarranted attack on my home province. There may be generals in my province who will lose their heads, but there are none who will surrender.\" Zhang Fei was enraged and he ordered Yan Yan's execution. Yan Yan remained expressionless and said: \"If you want to chop off my head, then do it! What's with that outburst of anger?\" Zhang Fei was so impressed with Yan Yan's courage that he released him and treated him like an honoured guest. Nothing was recorded in history about Yan Yan from this point onwards.In Romance of the Three KingdomsYan Yan has a greater role as a character in the 14th-century historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which romanticises the events before and during the Three Kingdoms period. In Chapter 63 of the novel, as in history, he is defeated and captured by Zhang Fei, who initially wants to execute him but changes his mind and spares him after feeling impressed with Yan Yan's strong sense of loyalty. Zhang Fei also manages to convince Yan Yan to switch his allegiance to Liu Bei. Yan Yan appears again later in Chapters 70 and 71, when he joins Huang Zhong to attack Cao Cao's forces at the Battle of Mount Dingjun.See alsoLists of people of the Three KingdomsNotesPassage 2:Marco BortolamiMarco Bortolami ([\u0000marko b\u0000rto\u0000lami]; born 12 June 1980) is a rugby union coach and retired Italian international player, whose career includes experience playing in the national top-level Italian (Petrarca Padova), French (RC Narbonne), and English (Gloucester Rugby) championships, before joining the then recently-born Pro14 (with Aironi Rugby and then Zebre). Praised for his leadership skills, he captained all the teams he played for at professional level. At international level, he also captained the Italian side since 2002 till the 2007 Rugby World Cup, before being replaced in the permanent role by Sergio Parisse. He currently serves as head coach for Benetton Rugby in the United Rugby Championship.Club careerBortolami began his playing career with the team of his native Padua, making his debut as a second row aged only 18.After a two-year spell with RC Narbonne in the French Top14, in the summer of 2006 he joined English Premiership side Gloucester Rugby when he was considered by many to be one of the best players in the world around the time, being selected into the starting team for their first game of the season and immediately taking the role of captain. At Gloucester he made up a formidable partnership with Alex Brown and shared captaincy with Peter Buxton. Due to injuries and his World Cup commitments, the 2007–08 season ended up not being as consistent in performance and he lost the Italian captaincy to Italian No. 8 Sergio Parisse, but continued to put in powerful performances for Gloucester. His outstanding leadership qualities meant he retained captaincy. He made 23 appearances for Gloucester in 2008–09.In 2010 he returned to Italy signing for the new Aironi team which started to compete in the Celtic League from the 2010–11 season. After Aironi folded due to financial problems, Bortolami signed for the new franchise Zebre in the Pro12 for the 2012/13 season.On 7 May 2016, Bortolami announced his retirement from professional rugby with immediate effect.International careerBortolami was made captain of Italy's Under-21 side, before making his international debut at elite level against Namibia in June, 2001, when he was just 20. At the age of 22, Bortolami was made Italy's youngest ever captain by then coach John Kirwan.In his first-ever World Cup start, against Tonga, he suffered an injury and missed the decisive group-stage match against Wales, which saw the Azzurri eliminated from the competition.After impressing in the 2004 Six Nations Championship, he was once awarded the full captaincy for the 2005 Summer tour of Japan by coach Pierre Berbizier. After this tour he joined French club Narbonne.In the 2007 Six Nations Championship, Bortolami led Italy to their first away win in the competition against Scotland at Murrayfield, which was also the first time Italy have won more than one game in a single Six Nations Championship. At the 2007 Rugby World Cup, he led the Italian team to a decisive final group-stage match against Scotland, again missing access to the knock-out stage.With the 2007 Six Nations Championship, under new coach Nick Mallett, Bortolami was replaced as Italian skipper by Sergio Parisse.Bortolami suffered an injury against Australia in June 2012, but in May 2013 it was announced that he would be returning to the international stage.Coaching careerBortolami left Zebre at the end of the Celtic League 2015/16 season, and became Assistant Coach at Benetton Treviso from the start of the 2016/17 season.Other informationIn an interview in 2006, Bortolami stated that he wishes to become a mechanic for Ferrari after he retires from professional rugby, using the mechanical skills that he picked up in college. Shortly after the interview had taken place, he received a letter from Ferrari offering him a position as soon as he completed his rugby career. Something must be changed since then because now Bortolami moved into coaching the forwards for Benetton Treviso in Italy, after his last match on 7 May 2016.Although he has never been considered a violent player, his rough and direct playing style and his sometimes conflictual approach with the referees have led Bortolami to collect seven yellow cards in his long international career, surpassed in this unenviable ranking only by the Australian Michael Hooper and the Georgian Viktor Kolelishvili, both with eight.Passage 3:XiaxueCheng Yan Yan Wendy (born Cheng Yan Yan; 28 April 1984), better known by her pseudonym Xiaxue, is a Singaporean blogger and online television personality who writes about her life, fashion and local issues in a provocative style.

Rooted in East Coast hip hop and particularly gangsta rap, he is cited in various media lists as one of the greatest rappers of all time. Wallace becameknown for his distinctive laid-back lyrical delivery, offsetting the lyrics' often grim content. His music was often semi-autobiographical, telling of hardship andcriminality, but also of debauchery and celebration.Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York City, Wallace signed to Sean \"Puffy\" Combs' label Bad Boy Records as itlaunched in 1993, and gained exposure through features on several other artists' singles that year. His debut album Ready to Die (1994) was met withwidespread critical acclaim, and included his signature songs \"Juicy\" and \"Big Poppa\". The album made him the central figure in East Coast hip hop, and restoredNew York's visibility at a time when the West Coast hip hop scene was dominating hip hop music. Wallace was awarded the 1995 Billboard Music Awards' Rapperof the Year. The following year, he led his protégé group Junior M.A.F.I.A., a team of himself and longtime friends, including Lil' Kim, to chart success.During1996, while recording his second album, Wallace became ensnarled in the escalating East Coast–West Coast hip hop feud. Following Tupac Shakur's murder in adrive-by shooting in Las Vegas in September 1996, speculations of involvement in Shakur's murder by criminal elements orbiting the Bad Boy circle circulated asa result of Wallace's public feud with Shakur. On March 9, 1997, six months after Shakur's murder, Wallace was murdered by an unidentified assailant in adrive-by shooting while visiting Los Angeles. Wallace's second album Life After Death, a double album, was released two weeks later. It reached number one onthe Billboard 200, and eventually achieved a diamond certification in the United States.With two more posthumous albums released, Wallace has certified sales ofover 28 million copies in the United States, including 21 million albums.

The Source magazine named him the greatest rapper of all time in its 150th issue. In 2006, MTV ranked him at No. 3 on theirlist of The Greatest MCs of All Time, calling him possibly \"the most skillful ever on the mic\". In 2020, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.Life andcareer1972–1991: Early lifeChristopher George Latore Wallace was born at St. Mary's Hospital in the New York City borough of Brooklyn on May 21, 1972, theonly child of Jamaican immigrant parents. His mother, Voletta Wallace, was a preschool teacher, while his father, Selwyn George Latore, was a welder andpolitician. His father left the family when Wallace was two years old, and his mother worked two jobs while raising him. Wallace grew up at 226 St. James Place inBrooklyn's Clinton Hill, near the border with Bedford-Stuyvesant. Raised Catholic, Wallace excelled at Queen of All Saints Middle School, winning several awardsas an English student. He attended St Peter Claver Church in the borough. He was nicknamed \"Big\" because he was overweight by the age of 10. Wallace claimedto have begun dealing drugs at about age 12. His mother, often at work, first learned of this during his adulthood.He began rapping as a teenager, entertainingpeople on the streets, and performed with local groups, the Old Gold Brothers as well as the Techniques. His earliest stage name was MC CWest. At his request,Wallace transferred from Bishop Loughlin Memorial High School in Fort Greene to George Westinghouse Career and Technical Education High School in DowntownBrooklyn, which future rappers Jay-Z and Busta Rhymes were also attending. According to his mother, Wallace was still a good student but developed a\"smart-ass\" attitude at the new school. At age 17 in 1989, Wallace dropped out of high school and became more involved in crime. That same year in 1989, hewas arrested on weapons charges in Brooklyn and sentenced to five years' probation. In 1990, he was arrested on a violation of his probation. A year later,Wallace was arrested in North Carolina for dealing crack cocaine. He spent nine months in jail before making bail.1991–1994: Early career and first childAfterrelease from jail, Wallace made a demo tape, Microphone Murderer, while calling himself Biggie Smalls, alluding both to Calvin Lockhart's character in the 1975film Let's Do It Again and to his own stature and obesity, 6 feet 3 inches (1.91 m) and 300 to 380 pounds (140 to 170 kg). Although Wallace reportedly lackedreal ambition for the tape, local DJ Mister Cee, of Big Daddy Kane and Juice Crew association, discovered and promoted it, thus it was heard by The Source rapmagazine's editor in 1992.In March, The Source column \"Unsigned Hype\", dedicated to airing promising rappers, featured Wallace. He then spun the attentioninto a recording. Upon hearing the demo tape, Sean \"Puffy\" Combs, still with the A&R department of Uptown Records, arranged to meet Wallace. Promptly signedto Uptown, Wallace appeared on labelmates Heavy D & the Boyz's 1993 song \"A Buncha Niggas\". Mid-year, or a year after Wallace's signing, Uptown fired Combs,who, a week later, launched Bad Boy Records, instantly Wallace's new label.On August 8, 1993, Jan Jackson, Wallace's long-time girlfriend, gave birth to his firstchild, T'yanna, although the couple had parted by then. Himself a high-school dropout, Wallace promised his daughter \"everything she wanted\", reasoning that ifonly he had that in childhood, he would have graduated at the top of his class. Wallace continued dealing drugs, but Combs discovered this, and obliged him tostop. Later that year, Wallace gained exposure on a remix of Mary J. Blige's single \"Real Love\". Having found his moniker Biggie Smalls already claimed, he took anew one, holding for good, The Notorious B.I.G.Around this time, Wallace became friends with fellow rapper Tupac Shakur. Lil' Cease recalled the pair as close,often traveling together whenever they were not working. According to him, Wallace was a frequent guest at Shakur's home and they spent time together whenShakur was in California or Washington, D.C. Yukmouth, an Oakland emcee, claimed that Wallace's style was inspired by Shakur.The \"Real Love\" remix single wasfollowed by another remix of a Mary J. Blige song, \"What's the 411?\" Wallace's successes continued, if to a lesser extent, on remixes of Neneh Cherry's song\"Buddy X\" and of reggae artist Super Cat's song \"Dolly My Baby\", also featuring Combs, all in 1993. In April, Wallace's solo track \"Party and Bullshit\" was releasedon the Who's the Man? soundtrack. In July 1994, he appeared alongside LL Cool J and Busta Rhymes on a remix of his own labelmate Craig Mack's \"Flava in YaEar\", the remix reaching No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100.1994: Ready to Die and marriage to Faith EvansOn August 4, 1994, Wallace married R&B singer FaithEvans, whom he had met eight days prior at a Bad Boy photoshoot. Five days later, Wallace had his first pop chart success as a solo artist with double A-side,\"Juicy / Unbelievable\", which reached No. 27 as the lead single to his debut album.Ready to Die was released on September 13, 1994. It reached No. 13 on theBillboard 200 chart and was eventually certified four times platinum. The album shifted attention back to East Coast hip hop at a time when West Coast hip hopdominated US charts. It gained strong reviews and has received much praise in retrospect. In addition to \"Juicy\", the record produced two hit singles: theplatinum-selling \"Big Poppa\", which reached No. 1 on the U.S. rap chart, and \"One More Chance\", which sold 1.1 million copies in 1995. Busta Rhymes claimed tohave seen Wallace giving out free copies of Ready to Die from his home, which Rhymes reasoned as \"his way of marketing himself\".Wallace also befriended"} +{"doc_id":"doc_86","qid":"","text":"Passage 1:World and Time EnoughWorld and Time Enough is a 1994 independent gay-themed romantic comedy-drama written and directed by Eric Mueller andstarring Gregory Giles, Matt Guidry, and Kraig Swartz.CastPlotNarrated by their friend David (Swartz), World and Time Enough is the story of Mark (Guidry) andJoey (Giles).

Prior tohis current position, Govan worked as the director of the Dia Art Foundation in New York City.Early life and educationGovan was born in 1963 in North Adams,Massachusetts, and was raised in the Washington D.C. area, attending Sidwell Friends School.He majored in art history and fine arts at Williams College, wherehe met Thomas Krens, who was then director of the Williams College Museum of Art. Govan became closely involved with the museum, serving as acting curatoras an undergraduate. After receiving his B.A. from Williams in 1985, Govan began an MFA in fine arts from the University of California, San Diego.CareerAs atwenty-five year old graduate student, Govan was recruited by his former mentor at Williams, Thomas Krens, who in 1988 had been appointed director of theSolomon R. Guggenheim Foundation. Govan served as deputy director of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum under Krens from 1988 to 1994, a period thatculminated in the construction and opening of the Frank Gehry designed Guggenheim branch in Bilbao, Spain. Govan supervised the reinstallation of themuseum's permanent collection galleries after its extensive renovation.Dia Art FoundationFrom 1994 to 2006, Govan was president and director of Dia ArtFoundation in New York City. There, he spearheaded the conversion of a Nabisco box factory into the 300,000 square foot Dia:Beacon in New York's HudsonValley, which houses Dia's collection of art from the 1960s to the present. Built in a former Nabisco box factory, the critically acclaimed museum has beencredited with catalyzing a cultural and economic revival within the formerly factory-based city of Beacon. Dia's collection nearly doubled in size during Govan'stenure, but he also came under criticism for \"needlessly and permanently\" closing Dia's West 22nd Street building. During his time at Dia, Govan also workedclosely with artists James Turrell and Michael Heizer, becoming an ardent supporter of Roden Crater and City, the artists' respective site-specific land art projectsunder construction in the American southwest. Govan successfully lobbied Washington to have the 704,000 acres in central Nevada surrounding City declared anational monument in 2015.LACMAIn February 2006, a search committee composed of eleven LACMA trustees, led by the late Nancy M. Daly, recruited Govan torun the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Govan has stated that he was drawn to the role not only because of LACMA's geographical distance from its Europeanand east coast peers, but also because of the museum's relative youth, having been established in 1961. \"I felt that because of this newness I had theopportunity to reconsider the museum,\" Govan has written, \"[and] Los Angeles is a good place to do that.\"Govan has been widely regarded for transformingLACMA into both a local and international landmark. Since Govan's arrival, LACMA has acquired by donation or purchase over 27,000 works for the permanentcollection, and the museum's gallery space has almost doubled thanks to the addition of two new buildings designed by Renzo Piano, the Broad Contemporary ArtMuseum (BCAM) and the Lynda and Stewart Resnick Pavilion. LACMA's annual attendance has grown from 600,000 to nearly 1.6 million in 2016.ArtistcollaborationsSince his arrival, Govan has commissioned exhibition scenography and gallery designs in collaboration with artists. In 2006, for example, Govaninvited LA artist John Baldessari to design an upcoming exhibition about the Belgian surrealist René Magritte, resulting in a theatrical show that reflected thetwisted perspective of the latter's topsy-turvy world. Baldessari has also designed LACMA's logo. Since then, Govan has also commissioned Cuban-American artistJorge Pardo to design LACMA's Art of the Ancient Americas gallery, described in the Los Angeles Times as a \"gritty cavern deep inside the earth ... crossed with ahigh-style urban lounge.\"Govan has also commissioned several large-scale public artworks for LACMA's campus from contemporary California artists. Theseinclude Chris Burden's Urban Light (2008), a series of 202 vintage street lamps from different neighborhoods in Los Angeles, arranged in front of the entrancepavilion, Barbara Kruger's Untitled (Shafted) (2008), Robert Irwin's Primal Palm Garden (2010), and Michael Heizer's Levitated Mass, a 340-ton bouldertransported 100 miles from the Jurupa Valley to LACMA, a widely publicized journey that culminated with a large celebration on Wilshire Boulevard. Thanks in partto the popularity of these public artworks, LACMA was ranked the fourth most instagrammed museum in the world in 2016.In his first three full years, themuseum raised $251 million—about $100 million more than it collected during the three years before he arrived. In 2010, it was announced that Govan will steerLACMA for at least six more years. In a letter dated February 24, 2013, Govan, along with the LACMA board's co-chairmen Terry Semel and Andrew Gordon,proposed a merger with the financially troubled Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles and a plan to raise $100 million for the combined museum.ZumthorProjectGovan's latest project is an ambitious building project, the replacement of four of the campus's aging buildings with a single new state of the art gallerybuilding designed by architect Peter Zumthor. As of January 2017, he has raised about $300 million in commitments. Construction is expected to begin in 2018,and the new building will open in 2023, to coincide with the opening of the new D Line metro stop on Wilshire Boulevard. The project also envisages dissolving allexisting curatorial departments and departmental collections. Some commentators have been highly critical of Govan's plans. Joseph Giovannini, recallingGovan's technically unrealizable onetime plan to hang Jeff Koons' Train sculpture from the facade of the Ahmanson Gallery, has accused Govan of \"driving theinstitution over a cliff into an equivalent mid-air wreck of its own\". Describing the collection merging proposal as the creation of a \"giant raffle bowl of some130,000 objects\", Giovannini also points out that the Zumthor building will contain 33% less gallery space than the galleries it will replace, and that the linearfootage of wall space available for displays will decrease by about 7,500 ft, or 1.5 miles. Faced with losing a building named in its honor, and anticipating that itsacquisitions could no longer be displayed, the Ahmanson Foundation withdrew its support.On the merging of the separate curatorial divisions to create anon-departmental art museum, Christopher Knight has pointed out that \"no other museum of LACMA's size and complexity does it\" that way, and characterizedthe museum's 2019 \"To Rome and Back\" exhibition, the first to take place under the new scheme, as \"bland and ineffectual\" and an \"unsuccessful sample ofwhat's to come\".Personal lifeGovan is married and has two daughters, one from a previous marriage. He and his family used to live in a $6 million mansion inHancock Park that was provided by LACMA - a benefit worth $155,000 a year, according to most recent tax filings - until LACMA decided that it would sell theproperty to make up for the museum's of almost $900 million in debt [2]. That home is now worth nearly $8 million and Govan now lives in a trailer park inMalibu's Point Dume region.Los Angeles CA 90020United States.

The effects of pollution from two of South Africa's metropolitan areas, Johannesburg and Tshwane, has been detrimental to the ecology of the system.Untreated industrial, mining, agricultural and household waste has deteriorated the water quality throughout most of its course and led to massive algal blooms inthe Hartbeespoort Dam and Roodekoppies Dam.

While they were studying color variation of Etheostoma stigmaeum,the speckled darter, Layman and Mayden discovered that there were populations with enough variation that they should be described as unique species.Thisspecies was one of five distinct species of fish that were named after former U.S. presidents and a vice-president, based on their leadership in conservation. E.obama was named after Barack Obama, for his work \"particularly in the areas of clean energy and environmental protection, and because he is one of our firstleaders to approach conservation and environmental protection from a more global vision,\" according to Layman.DescriptionEtheostoma obama males have brightorange and iridescent blue speckles, stripes, and checked patterns, with a bright fan-shaped fin that has orange stripes. The males can reach up to 48 mm (1.9in) long, while the females reach 43 mm (1.7 in) long. 29% of the studied fish had palatine teeth.See alsoList of organisms named after famous people (born1950–present)"} +{"doc_id":"doc_88","qid":"","text":"Passage 1:George Gordon, 2nd Earl of HuntlyGeorge Gordon, 2nd Earl of Huntly (died 8 June 1501) was a Scottish nobleman and Chancellor of Scotland from1498 to 1501.LifeGeorge was the son of Alexander (Seton) Gordon, 1st Earl of Huntly and his second wife Elizabeth Crichton, daughter of William Crichton, 1stLord Crichton. George is first mentioned by name in 1441 when the lands which later became part of the Earldom were settled on him and his heirs. George wasalmost certainly born shortly before this time, c. 1441 as his parents married before 18 March 1439–40.In his contract with Elizabeth Dunbar, Countess of Moray,dated 20 May 1455 he is styled the Master of Huntley. He is addressed as \"Sir George Seton, knight\", in a royal precept dated 7 March 1456–7, and in a crowncharter dated a year later he uses the name of Gordon for the first time, indicating he had assumed that surname. As George, Lord Gordon, he was keeper of thecastles of Kildrummy, Kindrochat and Inverness. He succeeded his father as Earl of Huntly c. 15 July 1470.Shortly after becoming Earl of Huntly he was involvedwith the Earl of Ross in a private war in which the king, James III of Scotland, interceded. Ross was charged with treason, but after refusing a summons from theking, was outlawed. One of the expeditions sent against the errant Earl of Ross was led by Alexander. After he captured Dingwall Castle and pressed his army intoLochaber, Ross relented and sought pardon for his actions from the king. In 1479 he was justiciary north of the River Forth, one of his primary duties was thesuppression of feuds between Highland clans. In 1497 George Gordon was appointed High Chancellor of Scotland, the honour probably bestowed at the sametime as his daughter Catherine married Perkin Warbeck, an adventurer in favour with King James IV of Scotland. George was Chancellor until 1500. George, thesecond earl, died at Stirling Castle on 8 June 1501.FamilyOn 20 May 1455, George Gordon was married by contract to Lady Elizabeth Dunbar, daughter of JamesDunbar, 7th Earl of Moray. The marriage was annulled due to affinity, before March 1459–60; the couple had no children.George secondly married, before March1459–60, Princess Annabella of Scotland, youngest daughter of King James I of Scotland and Joan Beaufort (the granddaughter of John of Gaunt). After severalyears of marriage, the Earl of Gordon instituted proceedings to have this marriage annulled as well, on the grounds that Princess Annabella was related in thethird and fourth degrees of consanguinity to his first wife, Elizabeth Dunbar, and the marriage was dissolved on 24 July 1471.George Gordon had a number ofchildren, but with few exceptions, there remains no clear consensus as to which child was of the second marriage and which was of the third:Lady Isabella Gordon(d. 1485), wife of William Hay, 3rd Earl of Erroll (d. 1507).Alexander Gordon, 3rd Earl of Huntly (died 21 January 1523/24)Adam Gordon, who married LadyElizabeth de Moravia, daughter and heir of John de Moravia, 8th Earl of Sutherland, and in her right became Countess of Sutherland after her brother's death.Their son was Alexander Gordon, Master of Sutherland.William Gordon, who married Janet Ogilvy and was the ancestor of the Gordons of Gight, from whom LordByron was a descendant.James Gordon, mentioned in an entail in 1498.Lady Janet Gordon, who married firstly, Alexander Lindsay, Master of Crawfurd; secondly,Patrick, Master of Gray (annulled); thirdly, Patrick Buttar of Gormark; and fourthly, James Halkerston of Southwood.

He then married, thirdly, his mistress, Lady Elizabeth Hay, daughter of William Hay, 1st Earl of Erroll, and swore a solemn oath to haveno 'actual delen' with the lady until after they were married. He married Elizabeth Hay on 12 May 1476, and they had the following children:Lady CatherineGordon (died October 1537), probably a daughter of Elizabeth Hay, she married firstly, Perkin Warbeck (d. 1499), notorious for claiming to be Richard ofShrewsbury, 1st Duke of York, one of the young princes who disappeared from history in the Tower of London; she married secondly, James Strangeways ofFyfield (d. 1515); she married thirdly, Matthew Cradock of Swansea (d. 1531); and she married fourthly, Christopher Assheton of Fyfield.

She married Qusai ibn Kilab and after her fatherdied, the keys of the Kaaba were committed to her. Qusai, according to Hulail's will, had the trusteeship of the Kaaba after him.Hubbah never gave up ambitioushopes for the line of her favourite son Abd Manaf. Her two favourite grandsons were the twin sons Amr and Abd Shams, of ‘Ātikah bint Murrah. Hubbah hopedthat the opportunities missed by Abd Manaf would be made up for in these grandsons, especially Amr, who seemed much more suitable for the role than any ofthe sons of Abd al-Dar. He was dear to the ‘ayn (Arabic: \u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000, eye) of his grandmother Hubbah.FamilyQusai ibn Kilab had four sons by Hubbah: Abd-al-Daribn Qusai dedicated to his house, Abdu’l Qusayy dedicated to himself, Abd-al-Uzza ibn Qusai to his goddess (Al-‘Uzzá) and Abd Manaf ibn Qusai to the idol reveredby Hubbah. They also had two daughters, Takhmur and Barrah. Abd Manaf's real name was 'Mughirah', and he also had the nickname 'al-Qamar' (the Moon)because he was handsome.Hubbah was related to Muhammad in more than one way. Firstly, she was the great-great-grandmother of his father Abdullah. Shewas also the great-grandmother of Umm Habib and Abdul-Uzza, respectively the maternal grandmother and grandfather of Muhammad's mother Aminah.Familytree* indicates that the marriage order is disputedNote that direct lineage is marked in bold.See alsoFamily tree of MuhammadList of notable HijazisPassage3:James Gordon, 2nd Viscount AboyneJames Gordon, 2nd Viscount Aboyne (c. 1620 – February 1649) was the second son of George Gordon, 2nd Marquess ofHuntly, a Scottish royalist commander in the Wars of the Three Kingdoms.Early lifeAboyne was a member of the powerful Gordon family, who were notable fortheir Roman Catholic sympathies in a kingdom where supporters of the Protestant Reformation controlled the central government. Although there is little directevidence for Aboyne's personal religious views, he was clearly opposed to extreme Protestantism, and he played a significant role in recruiting Catholics for theroyalist cause.He was educated at King's College, Aberdeen, and earned youthful military experience in France, where his father commanded of the GardeÉcossaise. Unusually for a younger son, James Gordon also inherited a peerage, becoming 2nd Viscount Aboyne in 1636.The Bishops' WarsIn 1639, the FirstBishops' War broke out, in which the Protestant faction known as the Covenanters attempted to seize control of church and state. The Covenanter armydispatched the dashing young James Graham, Earl of Montrose to deal with the Gordons.Viscount Aboyne was just nineteen, but he seems to have been regardedthroughout the campaign as the effective leader of the anti-Covenanter forces, even before his father and elder brother surrendered. Later, he continued the warin spite of a lack of effective support from King Charles's royal government.The teenage general suffered two reverses in June 1639 at Megray Hill and Brig o'Dee, attributed to unsteady infantry and dissent between his officers, but his losses were light, and his cavalry performed credibly, remaining in the field untilthey learned that the king had made peace with the Covenanters. It is also worth noting that Aboyne's defence of Aberdeen at Brig o'Dee was so determined thatthe battle lasted two days (18 and 19 June) before Montrose finally dislodged him.In this short campaign, the Gordon cavalry anticipated the tactics of the EnglishCivil War: they often moved as a mounted column without infantry support, and they usually charged with the sword, discovering how ineffective a pistol caracolecould be at Megray. Unusually, it seems that Aboyne's elite troop of one hundred \"gentleman volunteer cuirassiers\" were clad in full armour, in contrast to thebuff coats and breastplate now favored by most cavalry regiments. This was still sought-after equipment, as it gave protection against bullet and sword-thrusts,and in the English Civil War it was worn by generals' bodyguards and the famous London lobsters.Scottish Civil WarFor the next few years, a tenuous peace heldin Scotland. Viscount Aboyne seems to have kept a low profile, living partially in England, but in 1642, the First English Civil War broke out, setting King Charlesagainst his Parliament.Aboyne now worked hard to arrange a military alliance with Clan Donald and the Irish Confederates, and came to be associated politicallywith the Scottish earls of Nithsdale, Crawford and Airlie - all open or suspected Catholics. Not unreasonably, their enemies saw this as a war plan to restore theold religion.But Aboyne also found common cause with his former opponent Montrose, a loyal royalist as well as a committed Presbyterian; both of them believedthe Scottish Covenanters were now likely to enter the war on Parliament's side.Aboyne spent 1644 with royalist forces around Carlisle, while his brothers raisedthe family's forces in the north. The next spring, he returned to Scotland, fighting in Montrose's victories at Auldearn, Alford, and at Kilsyth; in each battle, he leda flanking charge on the left wing that broke the Covenanters' right. After Alford, there is some evidence that he was promoted in the peerage, under the title ofEarl of Aboyne.Yet while the army was victorious on the field, Aboyne's personal position was increasingly difficult. His father, the Marquess of Huntly, believedthe family's troops should be used to eliminate the Covenanters in the north - in contrast with Montrose, who intended to march south into England. At the sametime, the relationship between Montrose and Aboyne was becoming strained, not least when the Earl of Crawford was appointed to command the army's cavalry,an awkward role when Aboyne commanded the only large mounted force.In September 1645, Aboyne and the Gordon cavalry withdrew to the north, shortlybefore the Battle of Philiphaugh. With hindsight, Aboyne's action is sometimes said to have cost the royalists the battle and the war.In reality, the war was farfrom over at Philiphaugh. Montrose moved north, and in spite of Huntly's increasingly pathological inability to cooperate with him, the royalist armies provedlargely successful in the field. Aboyne, caught between his father and his general, busied himself raising troops in the central Highlands.The cause was"} +{"doc_id":"doc_89","qid":"","text":"Passage 1:Jason Moore (director)Jason Moore (born October 22, 1970) is an American director of film, theatre and television.Life and careerJason Moore was bornin Fayetteville, Arkansas, and studied at Northwestern University.

In addition, because of his love for music and the fine arts, Ludwig repeatedly incurs thedispleasure of his father. For Ludwig, art is more important than daily bread.Maximilian II dies unexpectedly of erysipelas, so Ludwig, full of idealism, ascends theBavarian throne at the age of 18. At a time when war and poverty are omnipresent, he believes in a better world and wants to use his power to ensure that hispeople can live in peace and happiness. He wants his kingdom to become a place where beauty, art and culture will flourish; instead of weapons, Ludwig wants toinvest public money in theatre, music and education.He spends his free time with his young cousin, Sophie, the sister of the Austrian Empress Sissi. With her hecan philosophise about music and the beauty of the world. Moreover, he has all of his rooms in the castle remodelled and designed according to his ideas.He lovesRichard Wagner's operas, and his passion and admiration for the controversial composer's works and their legends are so great that he wants to bring Wagner tohis court. To achieve this, he instructs the well-known music lover Johann von Lutz to track down Wagner and bring him to his court. He awaits the arrival of hisidol impatiently and receives him with great respect. He settles Wagner's debts and obtains a pardon for the revolutionary and politically persecuted composer.However, his ministers rebel against his expensive sponsorship of the composer.At first, Ludwig throws himself into political business with enthusiasm. Heinitiates a school reform and distributesmusical instruments instead of weapons to his young cadets. He is of the opinion that if Bavaria should ever be attacked,the sound of Wagner's music will immediately disarm them. Even a conversation with his cousin, Elisabeth of Austria, who wants to ask for help in preventingPrussia from waging war against Austria, fails because of his naive belief that music alone is capable of keeping people's hearts in a peaceful .Ludwig's ministersare not satisfied with the power that Wagner's ideas seem to have over the young king. Ludwig increasingly neglects the affairs of government. The news of animpending war reaches him while he is on the road with Wagner in the Bavarian mountains. The composer suggests that he replace the ministers who now wantto go to war. They in turn threaten to resign from their positions if Ludwig does not part with Wagner and his influence. Since the king fears for his friend's life, heurges him to leave Bavaria. He realises that circumstances are against him, and his beloved kingdom gets involved in the war with Prussia against his will.Disheartened, and showing first signs of delusional illnesses, Ludwig withdraws from public life.The news of the defeat of his army hits him hard, since he hasspent the money that was intended for modern rifles on musical instruments. His stable master, Richard Hornig, is at his side and is willing to support him, butLudwig does not want to admit his affection for men. In order to deal with the war defeat, he travels his country and shows himself to his people. Moreover, heplans his wedding with Sophie because he is convinced that the people expect this from him. As part of the wedding preparations, Wagner arrives at court againto take over the musical design. As a result, Ludwig meets a young singer, Heinrich Vogel, whom he wants to hear singing as Lohengrin, which incurs Wagner'sdispleasure.Sophie demands proof of love in the form of a kiss from her future husband. This leads to a scandal, and Ludwig cancels his already planned andlonged-for wedding because he realises that, due to his homosexuality, which he does not confess to her or to others, he cannot have more than friendship withhis fiancée. In a letter, he asks Sophie's forgiveness and understanding. In his opinion, she has the right to be happy, which would not be possible at his side inthe long run.In addition to those private problems, political events are catching up with him again. Bavaria's defeat by Prussia forces the country to enter the1870-71 war against France as a compulsory ally of Otto von Bismarck. Bismarck's efforts to create an all-German empire, headed by an emperor, destroys thedream of a sovereign Bavarian kingdom continuing to exist. Ludwig's brother Otto suffers a nervous breakdown and has to be taken to a sanatorium. Theattending physician assumes that Otto will not recover from his mental derangement. Ludwig promises to build his brother a castle where he can be who he is,just as he also longs himself to have a place where he can be who he is. With this in mind, he has Neuschwanstein Castle built.Nevertheless, Ludwig does notachieve peace: the abysses of his soul are too deep, tormenting him and making him despair. Disillusioned, he retires again from public life and takes refuge inthe world of opera melodies. He does not want to admit the financial problems that the state budget has to suffer due to his excessive construction activities. Butreality catches up with him, and Ludwig's opponents team up to depose him and the castles in his dream realm of fantasy. Even his long-standing devotee Johannvon Lutz, whom he had made minister, comes to doubt Ludwig's common sense. After a fire breaks out in the castle, Richard Hornig is seriously injured. Thesadness of never being allowed to stand by his love for the stable master drives him even further into madness, which his opponents are now increasingly awareof. One of his ministers has a medical report drawn up in order to justify deposing the king.Ludwig senses the plan and intends to blow himself up with his castlesbefore he can be chased away from them, but the project fails due to the inappropriate explosives. Following that, the minister succeeds in taking the king intomedical care against his will in Castle Berg.Desperate about the disregard for his royal privileges, and his treatment as a \"poor lunatic\", he decided to escape histreatment. While taking a walk with his doctor, he escapes him and runs into Lake Starnberg, where he drowns.Historical inaccuraciesThe death of KingMaximilian II, Ludwig's father, in the film is shown as if it were extremely sudden. Actually, the sickness which led to his death lasted for many weeks, duringwhich Ludwig was criticized for the audiences he granted to the tenor Albert Niemann, a behaviour considered disrespectful towards his sick father.The meetingbetween Ludwig and Richard Hornig where Hornig himself finds Wagner, which in the film takes place in March 1864, happened instead in May 1867In the film thefamous official portrait of Ludwig is painted in 1867 while in reality it was already painted in 1865.In the film Richard Wagner is found by Hornig while in reality hewas found by the king's minister Pfistermeister. Indeed, it was to him that Ludwig gave the photograph with the ruby to give to the composer, and not to Lutz asseen in the film.Ludwig decides to curl his hair for the arrival of Wagner, but this decision was actually made when he was still crown prince to hide his protrudingears, a physical defect that he could not bear.In the film Ludwig signs the famous Kaiserbrief in the Residenz, while it happened in Hohenschwangau, which isneither shown nor mentioned, although it was a castle very dear to Ludwig.CastSabin Tambrea as King Ludwig II (young)Sebastian Schipper as King LudwigIIHannah Herzsprung as Empress Elisabeth of AustriaEdgar Selge as Richard WagnerTom Schilling as Prince OttoJustus von Dohnányi as Johann von LutzFriedrichMücke as Richard HornigSamuel Finzi as Lorenz MayrChristophe Malavoy as Napoleon IIIAxel Milberg as King Maximilian IIKatharina Thalbach as Queen MarieUweOchsenknecht as Prince LuitpoldPaula Beer as Duchess Sophie in BavariaAugust Wittgenstein as Alfred Eckbrecht von Dürckheim-MontmartinPassage 2:Marie ofPrussiaMarie of Prussia (German: Marie Friederike Franziska Auguste Hedwig von Preußen; October 15, 1825 – May 17, 1889) was Queen of Bavaria by marriageto Maximilian II of Bavaria, and the mother of Kings Ludwig II and Otto of Bavaria.LifeBorn and raised in Berlin, she was the daughter of Prince Wilhelm ofPrussia, a younger brother of King Friedrich Wilhelm III of Prussia, and his wife, Landgravine Marie Anna of Hesse-Homburg. The family spent half of the year atFischbach (today Karpniki) Castle in Silesia, where they loved to hike in the Giant Mountains. In her youth, Marie was seriously considered as a wife for Ernest II,Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, until her engagement to Maximilian was announced.QueenOn 12 October 1842, she married the Crown Prince, and later King ofBavaria, Maximilian II.Marie was loved equally by both the Catholic and Protestant populations. (At that time, Bavaria was mostly Catholic, whilst Prussia wasmostly Evangelical.) A specific emphasis of her \"great social engagement\" was a reactivation of the Bavarian Women's Association, which took place on 18December 1869 with the aid of her son, Ludwig II. Its aim was \"Pflege und Unterstützung der im Felde verwundeten und erkrankten Krieger\" (Care and support ofsoldiers wounded and injured in the field). The Bavarian Red Cross was officially founded as a result of the Bavarian Women's Association. The Red Crosseventually took over for the Queen.Queen dowagerWith the sudden death of Maximilian II on 10 March 1864, Marie became a widow. On 12 October 1874, sheconverted to Catholicism.As a widow she lived at Nymphenburg Palace. She spent her summer holidays at Schloss Hohenschwangau near Füssen, a castle herhusband had redecorated in Gothic Revival style, and at her country estate in Elbigenalp in the Lechtal Alps. She enjoyed hiking the mountains, which she hadoften done with her sons when they were young. Marie looked after her second son Otto, who was declared insane. She outlived her elder son, Ludwig II, bynearly three years; his unusual death occurring on 13 June 1886. He had not liked her very much (just as he disliked most of his other relatives) and had tried toavoid contact as far as possible. Marie died in 1889 in Hohenschwangau.She is interred in the Theatine Church in Munich in a side chapel opposite herhusband.IssueLudwig II of Bavaria (25 August 1845 - 13 June 1886); succeeded as King of Bavaria as Ludwig II.

The film was theatrically releasedon November 2, 2007, by New Line Cinema.PlotDavid Gordon, a popular science fiction author, widowed two years prior as they were trying to adopt a child, isfinally matched with a young boy, Dennis. Initially hesitant to adopt alone, he is drawn to him, seeing aspects of himself in him.Believing he is from Mars, Dennisprotects himself from the sun's harmful rays, wears weights to counter Earth's weak gravity, eats only Lucky Charms, and hangs upside down to facilitatecirculation. He refers often to his mission to study Earth and its people, taking pictures, taking things to catalog, and spending time consulting an ambiguoustoy-like device with flashing lights that produces seemingly unintelligible words.Once David decides to adopt Dennis, he spends time getting to know him,patiently coaxing him out of the large cardboard box he hides in. Soon, David is cleared to take Dennis home and meet David's dog, \"Somewhere.\" In Dennis'sbedroom is a projector of the solar system that he pronounces inaccurate. With the help of his friend Harlee and sister Liz, David tries to help Dennis overcomehis delusion by both indulging it and encouraging him to act like everyone else. Dennis attends school but is quickly expelled for repeatedly 'stealing' items for hiscollection. Frustrated, David tells Liz that perhaps Dennis is from Mars.Meanwhile, David's literary agent, Jeff, pushes him to finish writing his commissionedsequel, which is due soon. He struggles to make time for writing, regularly pulled away from it to deal with Dennis. While sitting down to write, the flash fromDennis's Polaroid camera catches him off-guard and he accidentally breaks some glass. David picks Dennis up and carries him across the room. Upset by David'sabrupt action, the boy fears he is going to be sent away. David explains that he was just worried he'd get cut by the glass and that he loves him more than hismaterial possessions. Assuring him that he will never send him away, he encourages Dennis to break more things. They move to the kitchen and break dishes andthen spray ketchup and dish detergent at each other. Lefkowitz, from Social Services, appears in the window and sees the mayhem. He rebukes David, setting upa case review.David encourages Dennis to be from Mars only at home; though he must be from Earth everywhere else. Passing his interview by saying he waspretending, he stays with David. Now his adoptive father, he insists Dennis acknowledge being from Earth, making him hurt and angry. David leaves him with Lizto attend the reveal of his new book, supposedly a sequel. He confesses to Tina, the publisher, that rather than being a sequel, it is a new book titled MartianChild, about Dennis. In her fury, Tina makes a scene, but takes the manuscript as David leaves to be with Dennis.Meanwhile, Dennis has left the house with hissuitcase of earthly artifacts. When David arrives home, he finds the police and learns the boy is gone, he remembers the place he'd said he was found. David asksHarlee to drive him to the location, where they spot Dennis high up on the outside ledge of the museum's domed roof. David climbs up to him as the police andLiz arrive. Dennis points out a bright searchlight in a nearby cloud as someone coming to take him home, but David assures him it's just a helicopter. Davidprofesses his love for Dennis and asserts he will never ever leave him. Eventually Dennis trusts David and they hug.David's voiceover tells about the parallel ofchildren who come into our world, struggling to understand it, being like little aliens. As Tina reads the manuscript aboard an airplane, she begins to cry.CastInaddition, Anjelica Huston plays Tina, David's publisher.ProductionDespite persistent misperceptions, this film is not based on David Gerrold's 2002semi-autobiographical novel The Martian Child, (although it shares some of the same incidents) but rather is based on his 1994 fictional Hugo and NebulaAward-winning novella of the same name, which has caused much confusion about the source material, especially for Gerrold's fans in segments of the gaycommunity. The short story does not specify the protagonist's sexual orientation. Only when, years later, Gerrold rewrote and expanded his story to novellalength did he choose to include his sexuality. While Gerrold had, in real life, adopted a son as an openly gay man, in the film the protagonist is straight and has afemale love interest. Because of the confusion surrounding the different publication dates of the original short story and the latter novella, some members of thegay community have criticized the lead role in the film being portrayed as straight, even though the main character in the short story was never identified as gay.Gerrold has expressed disappointment that the producers forced the protagonist to be changed from a gay man to a straight widower but felt it was a worthwhiletrade-off to get published a story about a child in a group home needing a parent.The film began shooting in Vancouver on May 2, 2005, and completed filming inJuly 2005, with the studio repeatedly pushing back the release date.

However, the initial design for the building provedcontroversial generating a public dispute with the original architect on moral rights grounds. As a result, the project was not delivered during Dr Kennedy'stenure, with a significantly altered design completed some years later. Private funding supported two acquisitions of British art, including David Hockney's ABigger Grand Canyon in 1999, and Lucian Freud's After Cézanne in 2001. Kennedy built on the established collections at the museum by acquiring theHolmgren-Spertus collection of Indonesian textiles; the Kenneth Tyler collection of editioned prints, screens, multiples and unique proofs; and the Australian PrintWorkshop Archive. He was also notable for campaigning for the construction of a new \"front\" entrance to the Gallery, facing King Edward Terrace, which wascompleted in 2010 (see reference to the building project above).Kennedy's cancellation of the \"Sensation exhibition\" (scheduled at the NGA from 2 June 2000 to13 August 2000) was controversial, and seen by some as censorship. He claimed that the decision was due to the exhibition being \"too close to the market\"implying that a national cultural institution cannot exhibit the private collection of a speculative art investor. However, there were other exhibitions at the NGAduring his tenure, which could have raised similar concerns. The exhibition featured the privately owned Young British Artists works belonging to Charles Saatchiand attracted large attendances in London and Brooklyn. Its most controversial work was Chris Ofili's The Holy Virgin Mary, a painting which used elephant dungand was accused of being blasphemous. The then-mayor of New York, Rudolph Giuliani, campaigned against the exhibition, claiming it was \"Catholic-bashing\" andan \"aggressive, vicious, disgusting attack on religion.\" In November 1999, Kennedy cancelled the exhibition and stated that the events in New York had \"obscureddiscussion of the artistic merit of the works of art\". He has said that it \"was the toughest decision of my professional life, so far.\"Kennedy was also repeatedlyquestioned on his management of a range of issues during the Australian Government's Senate Estimates process - particularly on the NGA's occupational healthand safety record and concerns about the NGA's twenty-year-old air-conditioning system. The air-conditioning was finally renovated in 2003.

The museum offers free admission and is recognized for its historical leadership in the fieldof art education. During his tenure, Kennedy has focused the museum's art education efforts on visual literacy, which he defines as \"learning to read, understandand write visual language.\" Initiatives have included baby and toddler tours, specialized training for all staff, docents, volunteers and the launch of a website,www.vislit.org. In November 2014, the museum hosted the International Visual Literacy Association (IVLA) conference, the first Museum to do so. Kennedy hasbeen a frequent speaker on the topic, including 2010 and 2013 TEDx talks on visual and sensory literacy.Kennedy has expressed an interest in expanding themuseum's collection of contemporary art and art by indigenous peoples. Works by Frank Stella, Sean Scully, Jaume Plensa, Ravinder Reddy and Mary Sibandehave been acquired. In addition, the museum has made major acquisitions of Old Master paintings by Frans Hals and Luca Giordano.During his tenure the ToledoMuseum of Art has announced the return of several objects from its collection due to claims the objects were stolen and/or illegally exported prior being sold tothe museum.

Judd, for the Defense, Young Dr. Kildare and The Brothers Brannagan were the only televisionseries besides Star Trek for which he composed the main theme.The composer Jerry Goldsmith and Courage teamed on the long-running television show TheWaltons in which Goldsmith composed the theme and Courage the Aaron Copland-influenced incidental music. In 1988, Courage won an Emmy Award for hismusic direction on the special Julie Andrews: The Sound of Christmas. In the 1990s, Courage succeeded Arthur Morton as Goldsmith's primaryorchestrator.Courage and Goldsmith collaborated again on orchestrations for Goldsmith's score for the 1997 film \"The Edge.\"Courage frequently collaborated withJohn Williams during the latter's tenure with the Boston Pops Orchestra.FamilyAt the age of 35, Courage married Mareile Beate Odlum on October 6,1955.Mareile, born in Germany, was the daughter of Rudolf Wolff and Elisabeth Loechelt. After Wolff's suicide Elisabeth married Carl Wilhelm Richard Hülsenbeck,renowned for his involvement in the Dada movement in Europe. Hülsenbeck brought his wife (Elisabeth), son (Tom) and step-daughter (Mareile) to the UnitedStates in 1938 to avoid the political situation rapidly developing in Europe. After arriving in the US he changed his last name to Hulbeck.Mareile's marriage toCourage was her third. Her second marriage was to Bruce Odlum (son of financier Floyd Odlum) in 1944. That union produced two sons, Christopher (1947) andBrian (1949). When Courage married Mareile he accepted the responsibility of acting stepfather to them. The family originally lived together on Erskine Dr. inPacific Palisades, but later moved to a mountainside home on Beverly Crest Drive in Beverly Hills.Aside from his musical abilities Courage was also an avid andaccomplished photographer. He took many dramatic photos of bullfights and auto racing. He was a racing enthusiast, and his interest in that sport andphotography brought him into contact with many racing personalities of the era, notably Phil Hill and Stirling Moss, both of whom he considered friends. Moss paidat least one social visit to the Erskine residence.Though a dedicated stepfather to Christopher and Brian, Courage's musical career took precedence over hisfamilial responsibilities. He sought to interest his step-children in music, and was responsible for arranging Brian's first musical lessons, on alto saxophone. Laterin life Brian became a composer of serious electronic music, though the vocation was not apparent during his childhood, as he was a poor saxophonestudent.Alexander and Mareile were divorced April 1, 1963.

That marriage also ended indivorce in 1972.Star Trek themeCourage is best known for writing the theme music for the original Star Trek series, and other music for that series. Courage washired by Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry to score the original series at Jerry Goldsmith's suggestion, after Goldsmith turned down the job. Courage went onto score incidental music for episodes \"The Man Trap\" and \"The Naked Time\" and some cues for \"Mudd's Women.\"Courage reportedly became alienated fromRoddenberry when Roddenberry claimed half of the theme music royalties. Roddenberry wrote words for Courage's theme, not because he expected the lyrics tobe sung on television, but so that he (Roddenberry) could receive half of the royalties from the song by claiming credit as the composition's co-writer. Couragewas replaced by composer Fred Steiner who was then hired to write the musical scores for the remainder of the first season. After sound editors had difficultyfinding the right effect, Courage himself made the iconic \"whoosh\" sound heard while the Enterprise flies across the screen.He returned to Star Trek to score twomore episodes for the show's third and final season, episodes \"The Enterprise Incident\" and \"Plato's Stepchildren,\" allegedly as a courtesy to Producer RobertJustman.Notably, after later serving as Goldsmith's orchestrator, when Goldsmith composed the music for Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Courage orchestratedGoldsmith's adaptation of his original Star Trek theme.Following Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Courage's iconic opening fanfare to the Star Trek theme becameone of the franchise's most famous and memorable musical cues.

The river flows generally north by northeast through the Eungella National Park and is joined by thirteen minor tributaries, towards its mouth and empties into the Coral Sea north of Bowen. With a catchment area of 1,200 square kilometres (460 sq mi), the river descends 253 metres (830 ft) over its 60-kilometre (37 mi) course.High salinity levels have been recorded at the mouth of the river. Land use in the upper catchment is mostly beef cattle production with crops grown in the richer soils downstream.The river is crossed by the Bruce Highway via the Don River Bridge at Bowen.FloodingThe highest recorded flood was in 1970 when the river reached 7.25 metres (23.8 ft) at the Bowen Pumping Station. The river delta is particularly vulnerable to flooding during cyclones.Floods in 2008 left deposits of sand which raised the riverbed considerably. Approval to dredge sand was granted by the Queensland Government, however only about half of that has been removed in recent years. A flood in 2008 lead the Whitsunday Regional Council to create a channel so that similar flooding could be avoided.A management plan for the river was established late in 2008.

The language region includes areas within the local government area of Maranoa Region, particularly the towns of Charleville, Augathella and Blackall and as well as the Carnarvon Range.Ludwig Leichhardt explored the area in 1844 and named the river in honour of Robert Dawson, one of Leichhardt's financial backers.In the 1920s, shortly after the First World War, Australian Labor Party politician Ted Theodore (1884-1950) launched an irrigation program on the Dawson River for returning soldiers. His intentions was to provide them with arable land along the river for them to take up farming, thus eschewing a post-war recession. After the 1922 Irrigation Act was passed, he started irrigation schemes on the Dawson River, for an initial 8,000 new farmers. However, the scheme was abandoned after he realized the soil was unsuitable for farming and the returning soldiers had no agrarian skills.See alsoBoggomossList of rivers of Australia § QueenslandPassage 10:Dee River (Queensland)The Dee River is a river in Central Queensland, Australia.Course and featuresPart of the Fitzroy River system, the Dee River rises in the Razorback Range south of Bouldercombe Gorge Resources Reserve near Mount Gavial, south of Bouldercombe.

He was the director of the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem for17 months, resigning December 31, 2020. He was the director of the Toledo Museum of Art in Ohio from 2010 to 2019. He was the director of the Hood Museumof Art from 2005 to 2010, and the National Gallery of Australia (Canberra) from 1997 to 2004.CareerBrian Kennedy currently lives and works in the United Statesafter leaving Australia in 2005 to direct the Hood Museum of Art at Dartmouth College. In October 2010 he became the ninth Director of the Toledo Museum ofArt. On 1 July 2019, he succeeded Dan Monroe as the executive director and CEO of the Peabody Essex Museum.Early life and career in IrelandKennedy was bornin Dublin and attended Clonkeen College. He received B.A. (1982), M.A. (1985) and PhD (1989) degrees from University College-Dublin, where he studied bothart history and history.He worked in the Irish Department of Education (1982), the European Commission, Brussels (1983), and in Ireland at the Chester BeattyLibrary (1983–85), Government Publications Office (1985–86), and Department of Finance (1986–89). He married Mary Fiona Carlin in 1988.He was AssistantDirector at the National Gallery of Ireland in Dublin from 1989 to 1997. He was Chair of the Irish Association of Art Historians from 1996 to 1997, and of theCouncil of Australian Art Museum Directors from 2001 to 2003. In September 1997 he became Director of the National Gallery of Australia.National Gallery ofAustralia (NGA)Kennedy expanded the traveling exhibitions and loans program throughout Australia, arranged for several major shows of Australian art abroad,increased the number of exhibitions at the museum itself and oversaw the development of an extensive multi-media site. Although he oversaw several years ofthe museum's highest ever annual visitation, he discontinued the emphasis of his predecessor, Betty Churcher, on showing \"blockbuster\" exhibitions.During hisdirectorship, the NGA gained government support for improving the building and significant private donations and corporate sponsorship. However, the initialdesign for the building proved controversial generating a public dispute with the original architect on moral rights grounds. As a result, the project was notdelivered during Dr Kennedy's tenure, with a significantly altered design completed some years later. Private funding supported two acquisitions of British art,including David Hockney's A Bigger Grand Canyon in 1999, and Lucian Freud's After Cézanne in 2001. Kennedy built on the established collections at the museumby acquiring the Holmgren-Spertus collection of Indonesian textiles; the Kenneth Tyler collection of editioned prints, screens, multiples and unique proofs; andthe Australian Print Workshop Archive. He was also notable for campaigning for the construction of a new \"front\" entrance to the Gallery, facing King EdwardTerrace, which was completed in 2010 (see reference to the building project above).Kennedy's cancellation of the \"Sensation exhibition\" (scheduled at the NGAfrom 2 June 2000 to 13 August 2000) was controversial, and seen by some as censorship. He claimed that the decision was due to the exhibition being \"too closeto the market\" implying that a national cultural institution cannot exhibit the private collection of a speculative art investor. However, there were other exhibitionsat the NGA during his tenure, which could have raised similar concerns. The exhibition featured the privately owned Young British Artists works belonging toCharles Saatchi and attracted large attendances in London and Brooklyn. Its most controversial work was Chris Ofili's The Holy Virgin Mary, a painting which usedelephant dung and was accused of being blasphemous. The then-mayor of New York, Rudolph Giuliani, campaigned against the exhibition, claiming it was\"Catholic-bashing\" and an \"aggressive, vicious, disgusting attack on religion.\" In November 1999, Kennedy cancelled the exhibition and stated that the events inNew York had \"obscured discussion of the artistic merit of the works of art\". He has said that it \"was the toughest decision of my professional life, so far.\"Kennedywas also repeatedly questioned on his management of a range of issues during the Australian Government's Senate Estimates process - particularly on the NGA'soccupational health and safety record and concerns about the NGA's twenty-year-old air-conditioning system. The air-conditioning was finally renovated in 2003.Kennedy announced in 2002 that he would not seek extension of his contract beyond 2004, accepting a seven-year term as had his two predecessors.He becamea joint Irish-Australian citizen in 2003.Toledo Museum of ArtThe Toledo Museum of Art is known for its exceptional collections of European and American paintingsand sculpture, glass, antiquities, artist books, Japanese prints and netsuke. The museum offers free admission and is recognized for its historical leadership in thefield of art education. During his tenure, Kennedy has focused the museum's art education efforts on visual literacy, which he defines as \"learning to read,understand and write visual language.\" Initiatives have included baby and toddler tours, specialized training for all staff, docents, volunteers and the launch of awebsite, www.vislit.org. In November 2014, the museum hosted the International Visual Literacy Association (IVLA) conference, the first Museum to do so.Kennedy has been a frequent speaker on the topic, including 2010 and 2013 TEDx talks on visual and sensory literacy.Kennedy has expressed an interest inexpanding the museum's collection of contemporary art and art by indigenous peoples.

There were rumours that she was searching forthe money, three million, deposited by her spouse in Europe. Whatever the case, she did live the rest of her life without economic difficulties.

The campaign closed on August 22, 2013, having successfully raised$18,517. Decker has cited John Steinbeck's novel East of Eden as inspiration for elements of the film, though David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter hascompared the visuals of the film to the works of Terrence Malick. The visual style continues some of the experimental camera techniques Decker andcinematographer Ashley Connor had used in their previous collaboration, Butter on the Latch, including some shots that were recorded without a lens on thecamera.ReleaseMediaIn September 2014, Thou Wast Mild and Lovely was picked up for theatrical and VOD distribution by Cinelicious Pics along with Decker's2013 film Butter on the Latch with a release set for November 2014.ReceptionCritical responseThou Wast Mild and Lovely received a positive response fromcritics. Richard Brody of The New Yorker highly praised the film, saying \"Like most classic stories, this one is simple, but its realization is so surprising in itsdetails, so original in its visual invention, as to make most other movies seem shot by the numbers.\" and \"Normally it would be an insult to say that a movie thatruns a mere hour and a quarter feels as if it were much longer, but here it’s both accurate and high praise: vast realms of emotional experience are condensedinto the movie’s brief span.\" In a subsequent piece for The New Yorker, Brody named Thou Wast Mild and Lovely the second best film of 2014, just behind WesAnderson's The Grand Budapest Hotel. Brody also listed Robert Longstreet as \"Best Supporting Actor\"; Ashley Connor in \"Best Cinematography\". Decker's other2014 film, Butter on the Latch, also made the Brody's top ten, clocking in at tenth place. Subsequent to its Berlinale 2014 premiere, Peter Knegt of Indiewirecalled Thou Wast Mild and Lovely \"The talk of the Berlin International Film Festival… with tense eroticism and experimental, largely free-form filmmaking\". JoshSlater-Williams of Sound on Sight called it \"one of the strongest, most striking American Gothic works of recent memory.\" In his review of the film, Eric Kohn ofIndiewire gave the film a B+ rating and commented, \"Its labyrinthine characteristics suggest the unholy marriage of Ingmar Bergman and David Lynch\" and\"Decker concocts a wholly enveloping vision of isolation told with a grimly poetic style that wanders all over the place but never stops playing by its own eerierulebook.\" Jenni Miller of The A.V. Club moderately praised the film and described Sophie Traub's Sarah as \"fascinating\", despite noting \"There are a few toomany experimental flourishes to effectively build the sort of tension that’s necessary to really make the ending pay off.\" Nicolas Rapold of The New York Timesgave the film a more mixed review, noting \"The setup's clichés grow harder to ignore, despite a welcome mischievous streak and some bucolic imagery.\" DavidRooney of The Hollywood Reporter stated, \"It's not uninteresting but too self-consciously arty to rank Decker as a mature filmmaking voice.\"AccoladesThou WastMild and Lovely premiered in the U.S. at the Sarasota Film Festival, and internationally at the 2014 Berlin International Film Festival in the Forum section. It hasalso played at the AFI Fest, the BFI London Film Festival, the Torino Film Festival, the Hong Kong International Film Festival, the Gothenburg Film Festival, theAthens International Film Festival, the Denver Film Festival, the Dallas VideoFest, the Flyway Film Festival, the Sidewalk Film Festival, the Fantasia InternationalFilm Festival, the Galway Film Fleadh, the BAMcinemFest and the Imagine Film Festival in the Netherlands.The film was nominated for the FIPRESCI prize at theHong Kong International Film Festival, and has won awards on the festival circuit, including the Dallas VideoFest Winner 2014: Best Narrative Feature, SarasotaFilm Festival 2014 Winner: Independent Visions Grand Prize & Tangerine Entertainment's Juice Award, Flyway Film Festival 2014: Breakout Filmmaker, IndieMemphis Film Festival 2014: Craig Brewer Emerging Filmmaker Award.

He is the creator of theanimated television series Beavis and Butt-Head (1993–1997, 2011, 2022–present), and the co-creator of the television series King of the Hill (1997–2010,2023–present), The Goode Family (2009), Silicon Valley (2014–2019), and Mike Judge Presents: Tales from the Tour Bus (2017–2018). He wrote and directedthe films Beavis and Butt-Head Do America (1996), Office Space (1999), Idiocracy (2006), and Extract (2009), and co-wrote the screenplay to Beavis andButt-Head Do the Universe (2022).Judge was born in Guayaquil, Ecuador, and raised in the U.S. state of New Mexico. He graduated from the University ofCalifornia, San Diego, where he studied physics. After losing interest in a career in science, Judge focused on animation and short films. His animated short FrogBaseball was developed into the successful MTV series Beavis and Butt-Head, and the spin-off series Daria (with which Judge had no involvement).In 1995, Judgeand the former Simpsons writer Greg Daniels developed King of the Hill, which debuted on Fox in 1997 and quickly became popular with both critics andaudiences. Running for 13 seasons, it became one of the longest-running American animated series. During the run of the show, Judge took time off to write anddirect Office Space, Idiocracy and Extract. As King of the Hill was coming to an end, Judge created his third show, ABC's The Goode Family, which received mixedreviews and was cancelled after 13 episodes. After a four-year hiatus, he created his fourth show, the live-action Silicon Valley for HBO, which has receivedcritical acclaim. In 2017, Judge's fourth animated series, the music-themed Tales from the Tour Bus, premiered on Cinemax, to acclaim.Judge has won aPrimetime Emmy Award and two Annie Awards for King of the Hill and two Critics' Choice Television Awards and Satellite Awards for Silicon Valley.Early"} +{"doc_id":"doc_98","qid":"","text":"Passage 1:Valley of DeathValley of Death may refer to:PlacesValley of Death (Bydgoszcz), the site of a 1939 Nazi mass murder and mass grave site in northernPolandValley of Death (Crimea), the site of the Charge of the Light Brigade in the 1854 Battle of BalaclavaValley of Death (Gettysburg), the 1863 GettysburgBattlefield landform of Plum RunValley of Death (Dukla Pass), the site of a tank battle during the Battle of the Dukla Pass in 1944 (World War II)The Valley ofDeath, an area of poisonous volcanic gas near the Kikhpinych volcano in RussiaThe Valley of Death, an area of poisonous volcanic gas near the Tangkuban Perahuvolcano in IndonesiaValley of Death, a nickname for the highly polluted city of Cubatão, BrazilOther usesThe Valley of Death (audio drama), a Doctor Who audioplayThe Valley of Death (film), a 1968 western film\"Valley of Death\", the flawed NewsStand: CNN & Time debut program that caused the Operation TailwindcontroversyA literary element of \"The Charge of the Light Brigade\" by Alfred, Lord TennysonA reference to the difficulty of covering negative cash flow in the earlystages of a start-up company; see Venture capital\"The Valley of Death\", a song by the Swedish heavy metal band Sabaton from the 2022 album The War to EndAll WarsSee alsoAll pages with titles containing Valley of DeathDeath Valley (disambiguation)Valley of the Shadow of Death (disambiguation)Passage2:Beaulieu-sur-LoireBeaulieu-sur-Loire (French pronunciation: [boljø sy\u0000 lwa\u0000], literally Beaulieu on Loire) is a commune in the Loiret department innorth-central France. It is the place of death of Jacques MacDonald, a French general who served in the Napoleonic Wars.PopulationSee alsoCommunes of theLoiret departmentPassage 3:Place of originIn Switzerland, the place of origin (German: Heimatort or Bürgerort, literally \"home place\" or \"citizen place\"; French:Lieu d'origine; Italian: Luogo di attinenza) denotes where a Swiss citizen has their municipal citizenship, usually inherited from previous generations. It is not tobe confused with the place of birth or place of residence, although two or all three of these locations may be identical depending on the person'scircumstances.Acquisition of municipal citizenshipSwiss citizenship has three tiers. For a person applying to naturalise as a Swiss citizen, these tiers are asfollows:Municipal citizenship, granted by the place of residence after fulfilling several preconditions, such as sufficient knowledge of the local language, integrationinto local society, and a minimum number of years lived in said municipality.Cantonal (state) citizenship, for which a Swiss municipal citizenship is required. Thisrequires a certain number of years lived in said canton.Country citizenship, for which both of the above are required, also requires a certain number of years livedin Switzerland (except for people married to a Swiss citizen, who may obtain simplified naturalisation without having to reside in Switzerland), and involves acriminal background check.The last two kinds of citizenship are a mere formality, while municipal citizenship is the most significant step in becoming a Swisscitizen. Nowadays the place of residence determines the municipality where citizenship is acquired, for a new applicant, whereas previously there was a historicalreason for preserving the municipal citizenship from earlier generations in the family line, namely to specify which municipality held the responsibility of providingsocial welfare. The law has now been changed, eliminating this form of allocating responsibility to a municipality other than that of the place of residence. Careneeds to be taken when translating the term in Swiss documents which list the historical \"Heimatort\" instead of the usual place of birth and place ofresidence.However, any Swiss citizen can apply for a second, a third or even more municipal citizenships for prestige reasons or to show their connection to theplace they currently live – and thus have several places of origin. As the legal significance of the place of origin has waned (see below), Swiss citizens can oftenapply for municipal citizenship for no more than 100 Swiss francs after having lived in the same municipality for one or two years. In the past, it was common tohave to pay between 2,000 and 4,000 Swiss francs as a citizenship fee, because of the financial obligations incumbent on the municipality to grant thecitizenship.A child born to two Swiss parents is automatically granted the citizenship of the parent whose last name they hold, so the child gets either themother's or the father's place of origin. A child born to one Swiss parent and one foreign parent acquires the citizenship, and thus the place of origin, of the Swissparent.International confusionAlmost uniquely in the world (with the exception of Japan, which lists one's Registered Domicile; and Sweden, which lists themother's place of domicile as place of birth), the Swiss identity card, passport and driving licence do not show the holder's birthplace, but only their place oforigin. The vast majority of countries show the holder's actual birthplace on identity documents. This can lead to administrative issues for Swiss citizens abroadwhen asked to demonstrate their actual place of birth, as no such information exists on any official Swiss identification documents. Only a minority of Swisscitizens have a place of origin identical to their birthplace. More confusion comes into play through the fact that people can have more than one place oforigin.Significance and historyA citizen of a municipality does not enjoy a larger set of rights than a non-citizen of the same municipality. To vote in communal,cantonal or national matters, only the current place of residence matters – or in the case of citizens abroad, the last Swiss place of residence.The law previouslyrequired that a citizen's place of origin continued to bear all their social welfare costs for two years after the citizen moved away. In 2012, the National Councilvoted by 151 to 9 votes to abolish this law. The place of domicile is now the sole payer of welfare costs.In 1923, 1937, 1959 and 1967, more cantons signedtreaties that assured that the place of domicile had to pay welfare costs instead of the place of origin, reflecting the fact that fewer and fewer people lived in theirplace of origin (1860: 59%, in 1910: 34%).In 1681, the Tagsatzung – the then Swiss parliament – decided that beggars should be deported to their place oforigin, especially if they were insufficiently cared for by their residential community.In the 19th century, Swiss municipalities even offered free emigration to theUnited States if the Swiss citizen agreed to renounce municipal citizenship, and with that the right to receive welfare.See alsoAncestral home(Chinese)Bon-gwanRegistered domicile== Notes and references ==Passage 4:SennedjemSennedjem was an Ancient Egyptian artisan who was active during thereigns of Seti I and Ramesses II. He lived in Set Maat (translated as \"The Place of Truth\"), contemporary Deir el-Medina, on the west bank of the Nile, oppositeThebes. Sennedjem had the title \"Servant in the Place of Truth\". He was buried along with his wife, Iyneferti, and members of his family in a tomb in the villagenecropolis. His tomb was discovered January 31, 1886. When Sennedjem's tomb was found, it contained furniture from his home, including a stool and a bed,which he used when he was alive.His titles included Servant in the Place of Truth, meaning that he worked on the excavation and decoration of the nearby royaltombs.See alsoTT1 – (Tomb of Sennedjem, family and wife)Passage 5:Place of birthThe place of birth (POB) or birthplace is the place where a person was born.This place is often used in legal documents, together with name and date of birth, to uniquely identify a person. Practice regarding whether this place should be acountry, a territory or a city/town/locality differs in different countries, but often city or territory is used for native-born citizen passports and countries forforeign-born ones.As a general rule with respect to passports, if the place of birth is to be a country, it's determined to be the country that currently hassovereignty over the actual place of birth, regardless of when the birth actually occurred. The place of birth is not necessarily the place where the parents of thenew baby live. If the baby is born in a hospital in another place, that place is the place of birth. In many countries, this also means that the government requiresthat the birth of the new baby is registered in the place of birth.Some countries place less or no importance on the place of birth, instead using alternativegeographical characteristics for the purpose of identity documents. For example, Sweden has used the concept of födelsehemort (\"domicile of birth\") since 1947.This means that the domicile of the baby's mother is the registered place of birth. The location of the maternity ward or other physical birthplace is consideredunimportant.Similarly, Switzerland uses the concept of place of origin. A child born to Swiss parents is automatically assigned the place of origin of the parentwith the same last name, so the child either gets their mother's or father's place of origin. A child born to one Swiss parent and one foreign parent acquires theplace of origin of their Swiss parent. In a Swiss passport and identity card, the holder's place of origin is stated, not their place of birth. In Japan, the registereddomicile is a similar concept.In some countries (primarily in the Americas), the place of birth automatically determines the nationality of the baby, a practice oftenreferred to by the Latin phrase jus soli. Almost all countries outside the Americas instead attribute nationality based on the nationality(-ies) of the baby's parents(referred to as jus sanguinis).There can be some confusion regarding the place of birth if the birth takes place in an unusual way: when babies are born on anairplane or at sea, difficulties can arise. The place of birth of such a person depends on the law of the countries involved, which include the nationality of the planeor ship, the nationality(-ies) of the parents and/or the location of the plane or ship (if the birth occurs in the territorial waters or airspace of a country).Someadministrative forms may request the applicant's \"country of birth\". It is important to determine from the requester whether the information requested refers tothe applicant's \"place of birth\" or \"nationality at birth\". For example, US citizens born abroad who acquire US citizenship at the time of birth, the nationality atbirth will be USA (American), while the place of birth would be the country in which the actual birth takes place.Reference list8 FAM 403.4 Place of BirthPassage6:Dance of Death (disambiguation)Dance of Death, also called Danse Macabre, is a late-medieval allegory of the universality of death.Dance of Death or TheDance of Death may also refer to:BooksDance of Death, a 1938 novel by Helen McCloyDance of Death (Stine novel), a 1997 novel by R.

The setting of the story is transplanted from Stockholm to San Francisco. It was directed by Stuart Rosenberg and featuresWalter Matthau as Detective Jake Martin.PlotA busload of passengers, including off-duty police detective Dave Evans, are gunned down and killed. Evans, on hisown time, has been following a man named Gus Niles in search of information linking businessman Henry Camarero to the murder of his wife, Teresa, two yearsearlier.Evans was the partner of Detective Sergeant Jake Martin, a veteran but cynical member of the Homicide Detail working the bus massacre investigation.Jake originally investigated the Teresa Camarero case and has been obsessed with his failure to \"make\" Camarero for the murder. Jake returns to it after manydead-end leads (including a disastrous confrontation with a deranged amputee who takes hostages at gunpoint) in the bus investigation. Niles was killed on thebus as well, and it was Niles who provided the alibi that enabled Camarero to cover up his wife's murder.The sullen Jake and enthusiastic but impulsive InspectorLeo Larsen are paired to interview suspects. Jake shuts out Larsen from his deductions, while Larsen, despite a loose-on-the-rules and brutal side, tries tounderstand and gain the confidence of his new partner.

It provides the special delight we get from gradually unraveling a complicated case... The direction is by StuartRosenberg, and marks a comeback of sorts... With The Laughing Policeman, he takes a labyrinthine plot and leads us through it at a gallop; he respects ourintelligence and doesn't bother to throw in a lot of scenes where everything is explained. All the pieces in the puzzle do fit together, you realize after the movie isover, and part of the fun is assembling them yourself. And there are a couple of scenes that are really stunning, like the bus shooting, and an emergency roomoperation, and scenes where the partners try to shake up street people to get a lead out of them. Police movies so often depend on sheer escapist action that it'sfun to find a good one.Variety praised the film saying that \"After an extremely overdone prolog of violent mass murder on a bus, The Laughing Policemanbecomes a handsomely made manhunt actioner, starring Walter Matthau and Bruce Dern in excellent performances as two San Francisco detectives\".According toChris Petit of Time Out, \"By the end, complete with car chase and split-second shooting, the film has become indistinguishable from all those movies it's trying sohard to disown\".The Laughing Policeman was released on Blu-ray on November 15, 2016. Matthew Hartman of High-Def Digest, who reviewed it, wrote \"[the film]could have been a great and gritty 70s thriller, unfortunately, it's primary story doesn't live up to the potential of the opening scene\".See alsoList of Americanfilms of 1973Passage 4:Piero SchivazappaPiero Schivazappa (born 14 April 1935) is an Italian film and television director and screenwriter.Life and careerBorn inColorno, Schivazappa entered the film industry in 1959 as an assistant director, collaborating with Valerio Zurlini, Mario Monicelli and Carlo Lizzani, amongothers.

It tells of the exploits of famed onmyōji Abe no Seimei, who meets and befriends bungling court noble, Minamoto no Hiromasa. Together they protect the capital of Heian-kyō against an opposing onmyōji, Dōson, who is secretly plotting the downfall of the emperor.A sequel, Onmyōji 2, appeared in 2003. Both movies are based on the Onmyōji series of novels by author Baku Yumemakura, which also inspired a manga series by Reiko Okano.PlotThe Heian period (9th–12th centuries) was a time when human beings and various supernatural beings still coexisted with each other, the latter occasionally causing trouble to humans. Practitioners of the art of onmyōdō, the onmyōji, were held to be able to control and subdue these malevolent entities and other paranormal phenomena, and were thus held in high regard, being employed by the imperial court.In Heian-kyō, nobleman Minamoto no Hiromasa meets court onmyōji Abe no Seimei, a mysterious man about whom many rumors have been told. On a dare by some courtiers, Seimei demonstrates his exceptional skills in onmyōdō by killing a butterfly without touching it (i.e. casting a spell on a leaf which then flies and cuts through it).Hiromasa later visits Seimei at his home, where he sees Seimei's shikigami in human form, one of whom was Mitsumushi, the butterfly he had killed (and subsequently revived) earlier. Seimei joins Hiromasa in inspecting a mysterious gourd growing from a pine tree in Lord Kaneie's house; Seimei reveals the gourd to have been caused by a curse cast by a former lover of Kaneie who committed suicide.One night, Hiromasa impresses an unseen lady on an oxcart with his flute playing. Unbeknownst to him, this woman is Sukehime, Minister of the Right Fujiwara no Motokata's daughter and one of the current emperor's wives, who is worried that she is losing the emperor's favor as another wife, Lady Tōko, the daughter of Minister of the Left Fujiwara no Morosuke, had just given birth to a baby boy, who is to be the heir to the throne.Meanwhile, the head onmyōji of the imperial Bureau of Onmyō, Dōson, is secretly plotting to overthrow the emperor by trying to awaken the vengeful spirit of Prince Sawara, who had died 150 years ago. Wrongfully accused of treason by his brother, the Emperor Kanmu, Sawara committed suicide, but not before swearing eternal vengeance on the Son of Heaven (i.e. the emperor). When Dōson curses the emperor's newborn son, Prince Atsuhira, to be possessed by an evil spirit, Seimei combats his spells and drives the demon away with the help of Hiromasa and the immortal Lady Aone, who was ordered by Kanmu to guard the burial mound where Prince Sawara's spirit is sealed away.Hiromasa once again meets Sukehime (again unseen by Hiromasa) on the oxcart. He confesses his feelings for Sukehime, who he calls 'Lady of the Full Moon' (\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000 Mochizuki no kimi), but Sukehime, who still loves the emperor, rejects his advances.Both Seimei and Aone are put under arrest by Motokata and accused of cursing the infant prince. They are saved in the nick of time by Morosuke, who points out it is unlawful to kill a court onmyōji without imperial permission. Dōson, who is implied to be behind the allegation, enchants one of the imperial police to attack the two; Aone is severely wounded, but proves to be unharmed due to her immortality.Taking advantage of Sukehime's jealousy against Tōko, Dōson uses his powers to turn her into a namanari (a woman halfway to becoming an oni) that harasses both Tōko and the newborn Atsuhira. Seimei uses onmyōdō to transform straw effigies into the likenesses of the Emperor and the infant prince. Sukehime arrives and assaults the effigies, thinking them to be the real emperor and Atsuhira. The emperor, moved by a waka poem she recites (the same poem Hiromasa hears the lady on the oxcart recite earlier), speaks out loudly, breaking Seimei's spell. Hiromasa, recognizing Sukehime to be his 'Lady of the Full Moon', steps in to accost her.Sukehime briefly comes back to her senses when Seimei removes a paper talisman attached to her back, but Dōson doubles his efforts, and she completely transforms into an oni. When Hiromasa sacrifices himself by allowing her to bite on his arm, Sukehime comes back to her senses once more and kills herself with Hiromasa's tachi. In her final moments, Sukehime - now a human once more - begs to hear Hiromasa's flute one last time.Seimei shoots an arrow with the paper talisman towards the sky, ordering the curse to go back to its sender. The arrow, now on fire, lands in Dōson's secret lair, burning it to the ground. Dōson, swearing vengeance on Seimei, finally releases the spirit of Prince Sawara from its confinement in the burial mound. Sawara's ghost enters Dōson's body and summons a horde of vengeful spirits to attack Heian-kyō. Aone reveals to Seimei that he and Hiromasa are foretold by the stars to become the two protectors of the city: one cannot survive without the other. She, Seimei and Mitsumushi then go off in search of Hiromasa.Dōson makes his way to the imperial palace. Hiromasa tries to stop him in his tracks, but he is no match for his superhuman abilities; he is mortally wounded when Dōson throws back an arrow Hiromasa shot towards him. Seimei and Aone find him, but it is too late. Aone suggests that Seimei resurrect Hiromasa by performing the rite of Taizan-fukun, the Chinese god of the dead (\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000 Taizan-fukun no matsuri), offering to sacrifice her immortality and life to do so.Hiromasa, brought back to life by the ritual, and Seimei go to face Dōson. Aone's spirit, speaking through Hiromasa's body, convinces Sawara to give up his hatred. While Sawara at first refuses to do so, he is finally moved by the prospect of being with Aone - who was the prince's lover during his lifetime - forever; he then passes peacefully with Aone into the afterlife. Although now without Sawara's spirit to empower him, Dōson resumes the fight. Seimei, using his wits, traps Dōson within a magical barrier. Finally admitting defeat, Dōson slashes his throat with the sword from Sawara's burial mound.At the end of the movie, Seimei and Hiromasa drink sake together in Seimei's house. Hiromasa teases Seimei for crying when he died and reflects on what Seimei said to him earlier: that the human heart can turn one into a demon or a buddha. Seimei tells Hiromasa that he is a 'very good man'; Hiromasa answers, \"So are you.\" The two share a laugh together.CastMansai Nomura as Abe no Seimei (\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000): An exceptionally talented onmyōji whose very origins are shrouded in mystery. Although an onmyōji of the imperial court, he initially shows little regard for it or Heian-kyō itself, preferring instead to stay home with his shikigami and drink sake, yet eventually finds himself fulfilling his destined role as the capital's protector along with Hiromasa.Hideaki Itō as Minamoto no Hiromasa (\u0000\u0000\u0000): A nobleman in the court with a bumbling personality skilled in playing the flute.

He was the director of the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem for 17 months, resigning December 31,2020. He was the director of the Toledo Museum of Art in Ohio from 2010 to 2019. He was the director of the Hood Museum of Art from 2005 to 2010, and theNational Gallery of Australia (Canberra) from 1997 to 2004.CareerBrian Kennedy currently lives and works in the United States after leaving Australia in 2005 todirect the Hood Museum of Art at Dartmouth College. In October 2010 he became the ninth Director of the Toledo Museum of Art. On 1 July 2019, he succeededDan Monroe as the executive director and CEO of the Peabody Essex Museum.Early life and career in IrelandKennedy was born in Dublin and attended ClonkeenCollege. He received B.A. (1982), M.A. (1985) and PhD (1989) degrees from University College-Dublin, where he studied both art history and history.He workedin the Irish Department of Education (1982), the European Commission, Brussels (1983), and in Ireland at the Chester Beatty Library (1983–85), GovernmentPublications Office (1985–86), and Department of Finance (1986–89). He married Mary Fiona Carlin in 1988.He was Assistant Director at the National Gallery ofIreland in Dublin from 1989 to 1997. He was Chair of the Irish Association of Art Historians from 1996 to 1997, and of the Council of Australian Art MuseumDirectors from 2001 to 2003. In September 1997 he became Director of the National Gallery of Australia.National Gallery of Australia (NGA)Kennedy expandedthe traveling exhibitions and loans program throughout Australia, arranged for several major shows of Australian art abroad, increased the number of exhibitionsat the museum itself and oversaw the development of an extensive multi-media site. Although he oversaw several years of the museum's highest ever annualvisitation, he discontinued the emphasis of his predecessor, Betty Churcher, on showing \"blockbuster\" exhibitions.During his directorship, the NGA gainedgovernment support for improving the building and significant private donations and corporate sponsorship. However, the initial design for the building provedcontroversial generating a public dispute with the original architect on moral rights grounds. As a result, the project was not delivered during Dr Kennedy'stenure, with a significantly altered design completed some years later. Private funding supported two acquisitions of British art, including David Hockney's ABigger Grand Canyon in 1999, and Lucian Freud's After Cézanne in 2001. Kennedy built on the established collections at the museum by acquiring theHolmgren-Spertus collection of Indonesian textiles; the Kenneth Tyler collection of editioned prints, screens, multiples and unique proofs; and the Australian PrintWorkshop Archive. He was also notable for campaigning for the construction of a new \"front\" entrance to the Gallery, facing King Edward Terrace, which wascompleted in 2010 (see reference to the building project above).Kennedy's cancellation of the \"Sensation exhibition\" (scheduled at the NGA from 2 June 2000 to13 August 2000) was controversial, and seen by some as censorship. He claimed that the decision was due to the exhibition being \"too close to the market\"implying that a national cultural institution cannot exhibit the private collection of a speculative art investor. However, there were other exhibitions at the NGAduring his tenure, which could have raised similar concerns. The exhibition featured the privately owned Young British Artists works belonging to Charles Saatchiand attracted large attendances in London and Brooklyn. Its most controversial work was Chris Ofili's The Holy Virgin Mary, a painting which used elephant dungand was accused of being blasphemous. The then-mayor of New York, Rudolph Giuliani, campaigned against the exhibition, claiming it was \"Catholic-bashing\" andan \"aggressive, vicious, disgusting attack on religion.\" In November 1999, Kennedy cancelled the exhibition and stated that the events in New York had \"obscureddiscussion of the artistic merit of the works of art\". He has said that it \"was the toughest decision of my professional life, so far.\"Kennedy was also repeatedlyquestioned on his management of a range of issues during the Australian Government's Senate Estimates process - particularly on the NGA's occupational healthand safety record and concerns about the NGA's twenty-year-old air-conditioning system. The air-conditioning was finally renovated in 2003. Kennedy announcedin 2002 that he would not seek extension of his contract beyond 2004, accepting a seven-year term as had his two predecessors.He became a jointIrish-Australian citizen in 2003.Toledo Museum of ArtThe Toledo Museum of Art is known for its exceptional collections of European and American paintings andsculpture, glass, antiquities, artist books, Japanese prints and netsuke. The museum offers free admission and is recognized for its historical leadership in the fieldof art education. During his tenure, Kennedy has focused the museum's art education efforts on visual literacy, which he defines as \"learning to read, understandand write visual language.\" Initiatives have included baby and toddler tours, specialized training for all staff, docents, volunteers and the launch of a website,www.vislit.org. In November 2014, the museum hosted the International Visual Literacy Association (IVLA) conference, the first Museum to do so. Kennedy hasbeen a frequent speaker on the topic, including 2010 and 2013 TEDx talks on visual and sensory literacy.Kennedy has expressed an interest in expanding themuseum's collection of contemporary art and art by indigenous peoples. Works by Frank Stella, Sean Scully, Jaume Plensa, Ravinder Reddy and Mary Sibandehave been acquired. In addition, the museum has made major acquisitions of Old Master paintings by Frans Hals and Luca Giordano.During his tenure the ToledoMuseum of Art has announced the return of several objects from its collection due to claims the objects were stolen and/or illegally exported prior being sold tothe museum. In 2011 a Meissen sweetmeat stand was returned to Germany followed by an Etruscan Kalpis or water jug to Italy (2013), an Indian sculpture ofGanesha (2014) and an astrological compendium to Germany in 2015.Hood Museum of ArtKennedy became Director of the Hood Museum of Art in July 2005.During his tenure, he implemented a series of large and small-scale exhibitions and oversaw the production of more than 20 publications to bring greater publicattention to the museum's remarkable collections of the arts of America, Europe, Africa, Papua New Guinea and the Polar regions. At 70,000 objects, the Hoodhas one of the largest collections on any American college of university campus. The exhibition, Black Womanhood: Images, Icons, and Ideologies of the AfricanBody, toured several US venues. Kennedy increased campus curricular use of works of art, with thousands of objects pulled from storage for classes annually.Numerous acquisitions were made with the museum's generous endowments, and he curated several exhibitions: including Wenda Gu: Forest of Stone Steles:Retranslation and Rewriting Tang Dynasty Poetry, Sean Scully: The Art of the Stripe, and Frank Stella: Irregular Polygons.PublicationsKennedy has written oredited a number of books on art, including:Alfred Chester Beatty and Ireland 1950-1968: A study in cultural politics, Glendale Press (1988), ISBN978-0-907606-49-9Dreams and responsibilities: The state and arts in independent Ireland, Arts Council of Ireland (1990), ISBN 978-0-906627-32-7Jack B Yeats:Jack Butler Yeats, 1871-1957 (Lives of Irish Artists), Unipub (October 1991), ISBN 978-0-948524-24-0The Anatomy Lesson: Art and Medicine (with DavisCoakley), National Gallery of Ireland (January 1992), ISBN 978-0-903162-65-4Ireland: Art into History (with Raymond Gillespie), Roberts Rinehart Publishers(1994), ISBN 978-1-57098-005-3Irish Painting, Roberts Rinehart Publishers (November 1997), ISBN 978-1-86059-059-7Sean Scully: The Art of the Stripe,Hood Museum of Art (October 2008), ISBN 978-0-944722-34-3Frank Stella: Irregular Polygons, 1965-1966, Hood Museum of Art (October 2010), ISBN978-0-944722-39-8Honors and achievementsKennedy was awarded the Australian Centenary Medal in 2001 for service to Australian Society and its art.

From 1224 onwards, he is described as Count Palatine in many imperial documents, while his younger brother William is merely styled as Count. RudolphII supported Bebenhausen Abbey, which his parents had founded. Next to his father, Rudolph II is the second most mentioned Count Palatine of Tübingen inimperial documents, mostly in documents by King Henry (VII) of Germany, the son of Emperor Frederick II, who had been elected King of Germany in 1220, atthe age of 8. Frederick II spent much of his time in Italy, leaving his ancestral Swabia in the hands of his son. Later, in 1232, Henry revolted against his father,and did everything in his power to win the Swabian nobility over to his side. Rudolph II appears to have been among the noblemen who sided with Henry VII, atleast, he is mentioned in 10 different documents of Henry VII and never by Frederick II. Considering Rudolph's energetic character, one can assume that heintended to use the conflict between Henry VII and Frederick II to expand his own power and aim at an independent position.Swabian noblemen, includingRudolph II and his brother William, Count Hartmann I of Württemberg and a Count of Dillingen, visited Henry VII in Worms on 8 January 1224.

She was daughter of Henry II, Landgrave of Hesse, and his wife Elisabeth ofThuringia, daughter of Frederick I, Margrave of Meissen. Adelaide was a member of the House of Hesse.BiographyShe was named after her paternalgrandmother.Unhappy marriageOn September 29, 1341, in Poznań, Adelaide married Casimir III the Great, King of Poland. The marriage was a result of anagreement between Casimir III and Luxemburgs.The marriage was Casimir's second marriage, after the death of his first wife, Aldona of Lithuania.

The marriage lasted until1363/1364 when Casimir again declared himself divorced. They had no children. The marriage to Adelaide was annulled in 1368. Then Casimir married his fourthwife, Jadwiga (Hedwig) of Żagań.This marriage produced another three daughters.With Adelaide still alive and Christina possibly as well, the marriage to Jadwigawas also considered bigamous. The legitimacy of the three last daughters was disputed. Casimir managed to have two of his daughters, Anna and Kunigunde,legitimatized by Pope Urban V on December 5, 1369. Jadwiga the younger, was legitimatized by Pope Gregory XI on October 1, 1371.Later lifeAfter theannulment of her marriage, Adelaide went back home to Hesse.

Until 1675 his mother ruled as his guardian and regent before Charles was old enough to take over the administration for the next 5years. His older brother, William VII, had died in 1670 shortly after reaching adulthood, even before he had had the chance to make any changes with theadministration.PoliciesUnder the reign of Charles, the consequences of the Thirty Years' War in the agricultural county could be overcome more quickly than theywere in the more industrialized regions of the Holy Roman Empire. He pushed for the recreation of a large army and put it in the service of other countries in theWar of Spanish Succession. His soldiers, he gave, as well as other princes of his time, to foreign service for the Subsidiengelder [ subsidies ]. This policyremained controversial for its dealings with the mercenaries, according to the 1908 Brockhaus (Volume 9, page 96) :\"Dieses System verbesserte die Finanzen,aber nicht den Wohlstand des Landes,und brachte den glänzenden Hof selbst in ausländische Familienverbindungen.\"[ This system improved the finances but notthe prosperity of the country,and brought to the brilliant court itself foreign familial connections. ]Charles left in 1685 to his younger brother Philipp as the latter'sParagium a small part of the Landgraviate of Hesse, the so-called Landgraviate of Hesse–Philippsthal, named after Philippsthal [ \"Philipp's Valley\" ] (formerlyKreuzberg, a place near Vacha on the Werra River).EconomyEven before the Edict of Fontainebleau (October 1685), Charles adopted on 18 April 1685 theFreiheits-Concession [ \"Freedom Concession\" ], promising the exiles from France, the Huguenots and Waldensians, free settlement and their own churches andschools. In the following years, about 4000 the Protestants fled persecution in their homelands for Northern Hesse and, for example, about 1700 of them settledin Oberneustadt, the newly created borough of Kassel.Following the ideas of mercantilism, Charles founded in 1679 the Messinghof, one of the firstmetal-processing plants in Hesse, in Bettenhausen, east of Kassel.In 1699 Charles founded Sieburg (since 1717 Karlshafen) and also moved some of theHuguenots and Waldensians there. With the construction of the Landgrave-Carl-Canal from the Diemel River to Kassel (and beyond), he tried to circumvent theexisting customs borders but, after only a few kilometers, the construction was discontinued.CultureLandgrave Charles continued the design of the hillside park,Wilhelmshöhe (\"William's Peak\") in the Habichtswald (\"Hawk Forest\"), now a nature preserve west of Kassel. In particular, it was the construction of the Herculesmonument that brought the Italian-inspired cascades and other water features to the park. Under his rule, the Moritzaue (\"Maurice's Meadow\") park near thetown was extended over a large area to another park, the Karlsaue (\"Charles's Meadow\"), which still exists today, and the Schloss Orangerie was built.With theparticipation of the Landgrave, who was interested in history, the first archaeological excavations began in 1709 on the Mader Heide.FamilyCharles married hisfirst cousin, Maria Amalia of Courland (1653–1711), the daughter of Jacob Kettler, Duke of Courland, and had with her 24 children, fourteen of which lived longenough to have names:William (29 March 1674 – 25 July 1676)Charles (24 February 1675 – 7 December 1677)Friedrich (28 April 1676 – 5 April 1751), whosucceeded his father as Frederick, the Landgrave of Hesse-Kassel, and became, in 1720, the King of Sweden∞ 1 1700 Princess Louisa Dorothea of Brandenburg(1680–1705)∞ 2 1715 Ulrika Eleonora, Queen of Sweden (1688–1741)Christian (2 July 1677 – 18 September 1677)Sophie Charlotte (16 July 1678 – 30 May1749)∞ 1704 Frederick William, Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin (1675–1713)Son (12 June 1679)Charles (12 June 1680 – 13 November 1702)Daughter (12 April1681)William (10 March 1682 – 1 February 1760), who succeeded his brother Frederick as William VIII, the Landgrave of Hesse-Kassel∞ 1717 DorotheaWilhelmina of Saxe-Zeitz (1691–1743)Daughter (12 June 1683)Leopold (30 December 1684 – 10 September 1704)Son (12 November 1685)Louis (5 September1686 – 23 May 1706)Marie Louise (7 February 1688 – 9 April 1765)∞ 1709 Johan Willem Friso, Prince of Orange (1687–1711)Maximilian (28 May 1689 – 8 May"} +{"doc_id":"doc_104","qid":"","text":"Passage 1:The Grey Lady(The) Grey Lady or (The) Gray Lady may refer to:FilmsThe Grey Lady (film), 1937 German film also known as Sherlock Holmes: The Grey LadyGrey Lady (film), 2017 American film directed by John SheaFolkloreGrey Lady, a ghost reputed to haunt Rufford Old Hall, Lancashire, EnglandGrey Lady, a ghost reputed to haunt Theatre Royal, Bath, EnglandGrey Lady, a ghost reputed to haunt Fort St. Angelo, Birgu, MaltaThe Grey Lady, a spirit reputed to haunt Cumberland College, in Dunedin, New ZealandThe Gray Lady Ghost, reputed to haunt the old parsonage in Sims, North Dakota, United StatesThe Grey Lady, a ghost reputed to haunt the Dark Hedges, County Antrim, Northern IrelandThe Grey Lady, a ghost reputed to haunt Gainsborough Old Hall, Lincolnshire, EnglandEntertainmentThe Gray Lady, a spirit from GhostbustersThe Grey Lady, a character in The Good WitchThe Grey Lady, a character in Harry Potter; see Hogwarts staffOther usesMV Grey Lady, American catamaran ferryA member of the Gray Ladies, volunteers working with the American Red Cross in WWIIThe Gray Lady, a nickname for The New York TimesSee alsoThe Old Grey Lady, a nickname for Legion Field in Birmingham, Alabama, USThe Little Grey Lady of the Sea, a nickname for Nantucket Island, Massachusetts, USPassage 2:Governor GreyGovernor Grey or Gray may refer to:Charles Edward Grey (1785–1865), Governor of Barbados from 1841 to 1846 and Governor of Jamaica from 1847 to 1853George Grey (1812–1898), Governor of South Australia from 1841 to 1845, Governor of New Zealand 1845 to 1854 and from 1861 to 1868, and Governor of Cape Colony from 1854 to 1861Isaac P.

It is based on David Lavallee's 1971 novel Event 1000.PlotAging, respected Captain Paul Blanchard is on his final submarine tour before promotion to command of a submarine squadron (COMSUBRON). Surfaced and returning to port, the submarine, USS Neptune, is struck by a Norwegian freighter en route to New York in heavy fog. With the engine room flooded and its main propulsion disabled, the Neptune sinks to a depth of 1,450 feet (440 meters) or approx. 241.6 fathoms) on a canyon ledge above the ocean floor. A United States Navy rescue force, commanded by Captain Hal Bennett, arrives on the scene, but Neptune is subsequently rolled by a gravity slide to a greater angle that does not allow the Navy's Deep-submergence rescue vehicle (DSRV) to complete its work. As technical malfunctions increase, the submarine's sections get flooded and men die, crewmen have nervous breakdowns and tensions grow between the commanding officers.A small experimental submersible, Snark, is brought in to assist with the rescue. Snark is very capable, but run by a U.S. Navy officer misfit, Captain Don Gates. The tiny submersible is the only hope for a rescue. Ultimately, the surviving members of the crew are rescued by the DSRV, thanks to Gates sacrificing himself by using the Snark to jam the Neptune in place as another gravity slide begins while the rescue is taking place. Moments later the gravity slide pushes the Neptune and the Snark off the ledge and into the ocean's abyss. The film ends with a somber Blanchard climbing out of the DSRV and being welcomed aboard the rescue ship USS Pigeon by Bennett and his officers.CastCharlton Heston as Captain Paul BlanchardDavid Carradine as Captain Don GatesStacy Keach as Captain Hal BennettNed Beatty as MickeyStephen McHattie as Lieutenant Danny MurphyRonny Cox as Commander David SamuelsonDorian Harewood as Lieutenant FowlerRosemary Forsyth as Vickie BlanchardHilly Hicks as HM3 PageCharles Cioffi as Vice Admiral Michael BarnesWilliam Jordan as WatersJack Rader as Chief HarknessMichael O'Keefe as RM2 HarrisCharlie Robinson as McAllisterChristopher Reeve as Lieutenant (JG) PhillipsMelendy Britt as Liz BennettLawrason Driscoll as Lieutenant BloomDavid Wilson as SK1 HansonRobert Symonds as Secretary of NavyTed Gehring as Admiral at Pentagon MeetingCharles Cyphers as LarsonWilliam Bryant as Admiral at Pentagon MeetingJeffrey Druce as Neptune Executive OfficerJames Davidson as Lt.

It follows the Loh family, a typical Singaporean working-class family, through their aspirations and dreams for a better and affluent life and the reality that would make it difficult for them to fulfill these aspirations.The film is inspired by a 2000 Singaporean essay titled Paved with Good Intentions, that the writers of the film had written for the Singapore International Foundation. A concatenation of e-mails Singaporeans sent to writers Colin Goh and Woo Yen Yen on their life stories in relation to the Singaporean dream eventually led them to write, produce and direct Singapore Dreaming. The film stars Richard Low as Poh Huat, Alice Lim as Siew Luan, Serene Chen as Irene, Yeo Yann Yann as Mei, Lim Yu-Beng as CK and Dick Su as Seng.The film was theatrically released on 7 September 2006, and at one time ranked fifth on the Singaporean box office. It has been acclaimed as one of the best Singaporean films of the 2000s. It won the Montblanc New Screenwriters Award at the 54th San Sebastián International Film Festival, and was the first such Singaporean film to receive an IFFPA-recognised international feature film award. Owing to its nature as a local film, Singapore Dreaming received much attention from Singaporean viewers, film critics and public figures alike, including S. R. Nathan, the then President of Singapore. It has been praised by local critics as a relatable portrayal of working-class life in Singapore.PlotPoh Huat (Richard Low), the father of the Loh family, works as a lawyer's clerk. He is married to Siew Luan (Alice Lim), a housewife who likes to brew liang teh (herbal tea) for the family. Poh Huat has a habit of buying lottery tickets in hope of winning and enjoying a better life. He also keeps newspaper cuttings of car models and condominiums and stores them in a box in his room.The family has one son, Seng (Dick Su), and one daughter, Mei (Yeo Yann Yann). Despite Mei's superior academic performance, the family has consistently shown favouritism for Seng. Even though he was ostensibly the academically poorer sibling, dropping out of school in Secondary 3, his parents still chose to fund his overseas polytechnic education instead of furthering his sister's education. Seng is due to return after two years at Dubois Polytechnical University (at Idaho). To fund his overseas studies, he had to borrow extra money from his fiancée, Irene (Serene Chen), who stays with Seng's parents.Mei works as a secretary who maintains a friendly working relationship with her boss. She is due for delivery in two months' time, and for maternity leave in a month's time. Her husband, Chin Keong (Lim Yu-Beng), quit his job in the Singapore Armed Forces a month before and is now selling insurance, though unsuccessfully. He is therefore belittled by Mei. Even though they cannot afford it, they frequently go to a condominium showroom to take a look, revealing their aspirations for a more luxurious lifestyle.Seng returns from the United States. Tensions escalate in the family between Mei and Seng, due to the family's apparent favouritism for Seng. Seng goes for several job interviews, but is unsuccessful. He becomes immensely disappointed, and lies to his family about the sanguinity of his job prospects.Poh Huat strikes the Toto lottery, winning S$2 million, and the family is ecstatic. Seng decides that he wants to try starting a business. He gains his father's approval, who gives him effectively unlimited funding through a credit card. Seng also buys a car, without Irene's knowledge. Irene is infuriated when she learns Seng has been overspending without working first.Initially thrilled by his sudden elevation to the higher social class, Poh Huat dies suddenly of a heart attack while he was at a country club for a membership interview. Siew Luan goes into shock. At the funeral, Seng quarrels with Mei over the funeral expenses. Mei vents her anger on Chin Keong, who shows his displeasure by throwing the carton of drinks on the floor and storming off. Mei is called back to work one afternoon, even though she is still managing the funeral.

He was the director of the Peabody Essex Museum inSalem for 17 months, resigning December 31, 2020. He was the director of the Toledo Museum of Art in Ohio from 2010 to 2019. He was the director of the HoodMuseum of Art from 2005 to 2010, and the National Gallery of Australia (Canberra) from 1997 to 2004.CareerBrian Kennedy currently lives and works in theUnited States after leaving Australia in 2005 to direct the Hood Museum of Art at Dartmouth College. In October 2010 he became the ninth Director of the ToledoMuseum of Art. On 1 July 2019, he succeeded Dan Monroe as the executive director and CEO of the Peabody Essex Museum.Early life and career inIrelandKennedy was born in Dublin and attended Clonkeen College. He received B.A. (1982), M.A. (1985) and PhD (1989) degrees from UniversityCollege-Dublin, where he studied both art history and history.He worked in the Irish Department of Education (1982), the European Commission, Brussels(1983), and in Ireland at the Chester Beatty Library (1983–85), Government Publications Office (1985–86), and Department of Finance (1986–89). He marriedMary Fiona Carlin in 1988.He was Assistant Director at the National Gallery of Ireland in Dublin from 1989 to 1997. He was Chair of the Irish Association of ArtHistorians from 1996 to 1997, and of the Council of Australian Art Museum Directors from 2001 to 2003. In September 1997 he became Director of the NationalGallery of Australia.National Gallery of Australia (NGA)Kennedy expanded the traveling exhibitions and loans program throughout Australia, arranged for severalmajor shows of Australian art abroad, increased the number of exhibitions at the museum itself and oversaw the development of an extensive multi-mediasite. Although he oversaw several years of the museum's highest ever annual visitation, he discontinued the emphasis of his predecessor, Betty Churcher, onshowing \"blockbuster\" exhibitions.During his directorship, the NGA gained government support for improving the building and significant private donations andcorporate sponsorship. However, the initial design for the building proved controversial generating a public dispute with the original architect on moral rightsgrounds. As a result, the project was not delivered during Dr Kennedy's tenure, with a significantly altered design completed some years later. Private fundingsupported two acquisitions of British art, including David Hockney's A Bigger Grand Canyon in 1999, and Lucian Freud's After Cézanne in 2001. Kennedy built onthe established collections at the museum by acquiring the Holmgren-Spertus collection of Indonesian textiles; the Kenneth Tyler collection of editioned prints,screens, multiples and unique proofs; and the Australian Print Workshop Archive. He was also notable for campaigning for the construction of a new \"front\"entrance to the Gallery, facing King Edward Terrace, which was completed in 2010 (see reference to the building project above).Kennedy's cancellation of the\"Sensation exhibition\" (scheduled at the NGA from 2 June 2000 to 13 August 2000) was controversial, and seen by some as censorship. He claimed that thedecision was due to the exhibition being \"too close to the market\" implying that a national cultural institution cannot exhibit the private collection of a speculativeart investor. However, there were other exhibitions at the NGA during his tenure, which could have raised similar concerns. The exhibition featured the privatelyowned Young British Artists works belonging to Charles Saatchi and attracted large attendances in London and Brooklyn. Its most controversial work was ChrisOfili's The Holy Virgin Mary, a painting which used elephant dung and was accused of being blasphemous. The then-mayor of New York, Rudolph Giuliani,campaigned against the exhibition, claiming it was \"Catholic-bashing\" and an \"aggressive, vicious, disgusting attack on religion.\" In November 1999, Kennedycancelled the exhibition and stated that the events in New York had \"obscured discussion of the artistic merit of the works of art\". He has said that it \"was thetoughest decision of my professional life, so far.\"Kennedy was also repeatedly questioned on his management of a range of issues during the AustralianGovernment's Senate Estimates process - particularly on the NGA's occupational health and safety record and concerns about the NGA's twenty-year-oldair-conditioning system. The air-conditioning was finally renovated in 2003. Kennedy announced in 2002 that he would not seek extension of his contract beyond2004, accepting a seven-year term as had his two predecessors.He became a joint Irish-Australian citizen in 2003.Toledo Museum of ArtThe Toledo Museum ofArt is known for its exceptional collections of European and American paintings and sculpture, glass, antiquities, artist books, Japanese prints and netsuke. Themuseum offers free admission and is recognized for its historical leadership in the field of art education. During his tenure, Kennedy has focused the museum'sart education efforts on visual literacy, which he defines as \"learning to read, understand and write visual language.\" Initiatives have included baby and toddlertours, specialized training for all staff, docents, volunteers and the launch of a website, www.vislit.org. In November 2014, the museum hosted the InternationalVisual Literacy Association (IVLA) conference, the first Museum to do so. Kennedy has been a frequent speaker on the topic, including 2010 and 2013 TEDx talkson visual and sensory literacy.Kennedy has expressed an interest in expanding the museum's collection of contemporary art and art by indigenous peoples. Worksby Frank Stella, Sean Scully, Jaume Plensa, Ravinder Reddy and Mary Sibande have been acquired. In addition, the museum has made major acquisitions of OldMaster paintings by Frans Hals and Luca Giordano.During his tenure the Toledo Museum of Art has announced the return of several objects from its collection dueto claims the objects were stolen and/or illegally exported prior being sold to the museum. In 2011 a Meissen sweetmeat stand was returned to Germanyfollowed by an Etruscan Kalpis or water jug to Italy (2013), an Indian sculpture of Ganesha (2014) and an astrological compendium to Germany in 2015.HoodMuseum of ArtKennedy became Director of the Hood Museum of Art in July 2005. During his tenure, he implemented a series of large and small-scale exhibitionsand oversaw the production of more than 20 publications to bring greater public attention to the museum's remarkable collections of the arts of America, Europe,Africa, Papua New Guinea and the Polar regions. At 70,000 objects, the Hood has one of the largest collections on any American college of university campus. Theexhibition, Black Womanhood: Images, Icons, and Ideologies of the African Body, toured several US venues. Kennedy increased campus curricular use of works ofart, with thousands of objects pulled from storage for classes annually. Numerous acquisitions were made with the museum's generous endowments, and hecurated several exhibitions: including Wenda Gu: Forest of Stone Steles: Retranslation and Rewriting Tang Dynasty Poetry, Sean Scully: The Art of the Stripe, andFrank Stella: Irregular Polygons.PublicationsKennedy has written or edited a number of books on art, including:Alfred Chester Beatty and Ireland 1950-1968: Astudy in cultural politics, Glendale Press (1988), ISBN 978-0-907606-49-9Dreams and responsibilities: The state and arts in independent Ireland, Arts Council of"} +{"doc_id":"doc_107","qid":"","text":"Passage 1:Ahmet BozerAhmet C.

Upon arrival in Atlanta, Robinson andDavid Doe approached Dr. John S. Pemberton, a chemist and pharmacist, and struck a deal. In 1886 Frank Robinson officially settled in Atlanta where a newbusiness was made called the Pemberton Chemical Company consisting of Robinson, Pemberton, David Doe and Pemberton's old partner, EdHolland.Coca-ColaPemberton was experimenting with a medicinal formula which included coca leaves and kola nuts as sources of its ingredients. Robinson, whoserved as bookkeeper and partner to Pemberton, gave the syrup formula the name Coca-Cola, where Coca came from the coca leaves used and Cola for the kolanuts. The name Coca-Cola was also chosen \"because it was euphonious, and on account of my familiarity with such names as 'S.S.S; and 'B.B.B'\" said Robinsonhimself. He was also responsible for writing the Coca-Cola name in Spencerian script which was popular with bookkeepers of the era and remains one of the mostrecognized trademarks in the world. The formula was introduced in May 1886 at the Jacobs Pharmacy in Atlanta. It sold 25 US gallons (95 L) the first year. Thenext year sales increased to 1,049 US gallons (3,970 L). In 1888 Pemberton sold the formula to Asa G. Candler, another Atlanta pharmacist and businessman, fora total investment of $2,300 before Pemberton died.

Robinson and two other associates. Robinson served as treasurer and secretary andchanged the Coca-Cola syrup formula so as not to include any faint traces of cocaine by the time of the Pure Food and Drug Act initiated by the FederalGovernment in 1906. The starting capitalization for the company was at $100,000.Robinson overall was responsible for the early advertising of Coca-Cola beforeand after Candler bought the name and syrup formula from Pemberton, the first ads appearing in The Atlanta Journal in 1887. While still working with Pemberton,Robinson had the initial ads display short phrases such as \"Coca-Cola! Delicious! Refreshing! Exhilarating! Invigorating! The new and popular soda fountain drinkcontaining the properties of the wonderful Coca plant and the famous Cola nut.\" Marketing for the drink showed the syrup beverage with medicinal propertiescuring headaches but with a unique taste. The initial ads distributed invited citizens to try \"the new and popular soda fountain drink.\" Hand painted oil cloth signswere put outside stores displaying the Coca-Cola brand name with catchy words such as \"Drink\" in order to inform customers and other people passing by aboutthe new medicinal beverage that was also a soda fountain drink. First year sales showed an average of nine bottles sold per day.Robinson later retired in 1914,but remained one of the company's directors. In The Columbus Enquirer-Sun a newspaper founded in 1874, published an article in 1906 praising Robinson's workwith Coca-Cola: \"there is one person to whom particular credit is due for the fact that the Coca-Cola formula remained, in the hands of the Georgians, and thefurther fact that the drink soon became so popular. He is Mr. Robinson, and the present secretary of the Coca-Cola Company...In developing the drink, Mr.Robinson has also developed. He is said to be one of the best posted experts on advertising in America today, all due to his experience in advertising and pushingCoca-Cola.\"Personal lifeOriginally from Maine, as a young man he was in Iowa where he married Laura Clapp. Robinson had a home in Druid Hills, an early suburbof Atlanta.

He took arest and sat on a stone. Suddenly, the joyous chirp of a bird caught his attention. He sat there for a while, listening, entranced by the peace and beauty that thebird's singing brought to his soul.Not long after that, he headed back to his monastery, since it was already getting dark and he did not want his brethren to worryabout him. When he knocked at the door of the monastery, he was received by a monk completely unknown to him. Distrustful, the monk asked him who he was.When he answered him that he was the abbot Ero, the monk, bewildered, started to call his brothers, not sure if the man was in his right mind. Ero told them whohe was and what he had been doing. When the brethren explained what year they were in, Ero realized to his astonishment that three hundred years had passedby! And suddenly, he became aware that what he thought to have been only three minutes listening to a bird sing, had really been three hundred yearscontemplating the glory of paradise. Virgin Mary had finally granted him his wish.Popularity of the legendThis legend, related to others of similar content relatedto the Celtic tradition, became really popular in the 13th century when the King Alfonso X the Wise included it in his famous Cantigas de Santa Maria, arecompilation of miracles attributed to Virgin Mary. He dedicated his cantiga (poem or song) number 103 to the legend of Saint Ero.The great Galician writerRamón María del Valle Inclán also contributed to spreading the legend by including it in his work “Aromas de Leyenda” (1907), a collection of 14 poems inspired inseveral Galician traits like scenery, traditions and superstitions.Passage 3:The Odd Couple IIThe Odd Couple II is a 1998 American buddy comedy film and thesequel to the 1968 film The Odd Couple. It was the final film written and produced by Neil Simon, and starring Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau. Released nearlythree decades later, it is unique among sequels for having one of the longest gaps between the release of both films in which all leads return. The Odd Couple IIpremiered on April 10, 1998, and was a critical and commercial failure, grossing less than half than its predecessor at the box office.PlotIt has been seventeenyears since Oscar Madison and Felix Ungar have seen one another.

One day, he is called by his son Brucey with an invitation to California for his wedding the following Sunday. A second shock forOscar—the woman his son is marrying is Felix's daughter, Hannah.On the flight from New York to Los Angeles, it becomes clear that Felix has not changed hisways—he is still a fussy, allergy-suffering neat freak nuisance. Oscar and Felix are reunited at the airport and very happy to be together again after 17 years ofseparation—at least for a couple of minutes. They share a rental car to San Malina for the wedding. however the trip begins with Oscar forgetting Felix's suitcaseat the Budget car rental, including wedding gifts and wardrobe inside. On the trip, Felix falls asleep and Oscar takes a wrong turn onto the freeway, then loses thedirections to San Malina when his cigar ashes burn them.He and Felix become hopelessly lost, and cannot remember the name of the town where they areheaded, so many California cities sounding alike. They end up in a rural area and argue about Felix's lost suitcase, when the rental car rolls off a cliff and catchesfire. If that were not enough, they get arrested several times by the same local police in Santa Menendez, first for catching a ride in a truck carrying illegalMexican immigrants. They are released after the truck driver confesses, and learn the name of the town where the wedding will take place. At a bar in town,they meet two extroverted women, Thelma and Holly, and buy them drinks. Accepting an offer of a ride from a stranger even older than themselves, Felix andOscar end up inside a $150,000 vintage Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith and trapped on the wrong side of the road when the stranger dies unexpectedly. Felix andOscar are arrested a second time by the same Santa Menendez police, but again are released when it is discovered that the elderly man died of naturalcauses. Frustrated that this is second time they have been arrested in Santa Menendez, the police chief advises Oscar and Felix to take a bus to San Malina.Onthe bus, they meet Thelma and Holly, who are running away from their redneck husbands. However, the bus gets stopped by the husbands, who take theirwives, along with Oscar and Felix, at gunpoint, and in their car tell them that they are going to \"cook a couple of fine geezers\" in the woods for flirting with theirwives.Somehow the bus driver is able to inform the police of the husbands' use of a gun on a public vehicle, and their car is stopped at a police roadblock beforeanything happens to Oscar and Felix. Everyone is again taken into custody by the Santa Menendez police.After meeting with the police chief for the third time, theboys are freed and driven directly to the local airport by the police, who are only too pleased to be rid of them, especially the chief, who tells his deputies not toarrest them again even if they were to commit notorious crimes. A woman boarding the airplane is also en route to the wedding and recognizes them. She isFelice Adams, the sister of Oscar's ex-wife, Blanche. Felix's eyes light up when he learns that her husband died of a heart attack, and they are mutually attracted.He calls her \"Lise,\" which causes Oscar to ask Felix if she calls him \"Lix.\" They arrive at the wedding house, only to find that Brucey is having second thoughtsabout the wedding due to his parents' bad history with marriage. Felix and Oscar argue with their ex-wives, after which Oscar persuades his son to go throughwith it. Felix's suitcase is returned and the wedding goes off without a hitch.The next day, Felix and Felice leave together on one flight to her home in SanFrancisco, and part ways with Oscar, who returns to Florida. Oscar is telling his poker friends about the wedding when the doorbell rings. It is Felix, who saysthings with Felice didn't work out. Felix wonders if he could move in with Oscar until he finds his own place.

Before long Felix cleans up theapartment and Oscar is overcome with a sense of having been through all this before.CastProductionHoward W. Koch, the producer of the original 1968 film bywriter Neil Simon, had frequently discussed his desire for a sequel. Koch was unsuccessful in convincing Paramount Pictures to approve a sequel, despite theoriginal film's success and the return of Simon as the writer. Simon had 37 pages written for The Odd Couple 2, which he said were left \"sitting in the drawer\" for10 years. John Goldwyn and Paramount studio chairman Sherry Lansing began serious consideration of a sequel in July 1996, before announcing it on March 30,1997, without the involvement of Koch; instead, Paramount chose Robert W. Cort and Dave Madden as producers for the project. Silverman, Baranski, andHughes were cast in May 1997.Filming began on June 9, 1997, in Los Angeles, California. Filming continued throughout the summer in various southern andcentral California cities, including Arcadia, Guadalupe, Lancaster, Palmdale, Pomona, San Luis Obispo, Santa Maria, and Shafter. In August 1997, filming wasunderway at the same Paramount Studios stage where the original film had been shot. Filming also took place at Hidden Valley, located in Ventura County,California. The film was shot with the title The Odd Couple II — Travelin' Light. The film marked the tenth and final collaboration between Lemmon and Matthau.Jean Smart described the characters of Thelma and Holly as \"a bad '90s version of the Pigeon sisters,\" characters who appeared in the original film.ReceptionTheOdd Couple II was a critical and commercial failure. Despite the fact Lemmon and Matthau had success with similar roles in their Grumpy Old Men films in themid-1990s, this project was not as successful as expected. The film grossed $18 million at the North American domestic box office, and although Lemmon andMatthau's previous film Out to Sea also disappointed, it was better received by critics and had a slightly higher box office gross.It holds a total of 27% on RottenTomatoes. Stephen Holden of The New York Times called it \"a dispiriting, flavorless travesty, the equivalent of moldy tofu mystery meat\".Audiences surveyed byCinemaScore gave the film a grade of \"B+\" on scale of A+ to F.At the 1998 Stinkers Bad Movie Awards, the film was nominated for Worst Sequel and MostPainfully Unfunny Comedy.Passage 4:Je suis né d'une cigogneJe suis né d'une cigogne (English: Children of the Stork) is a 1999 French road movie directed byTony Gatlif, starring Romain Duris, Rona Hartner, Ouassini Embarek, Christine Pignet and Marc Nouyrigat.

Her mother was Princess Kekelakekeokalani-a-Keawe (also known as Kekelaokalani), daughter of the same Kalanikauleleiaiwi and Keawe\u0000īkekahiali\u0000iokamoku, king of Hawaii. Her mother had been sought after by many who wished to marry into the Keawe line. She was the niece of Alapainui through both her father and mother.She married the High Chief Keōua to whom she had been betrothed since childhood. Through her double grandmother Kalanikauleleiaiwi, Keōua's own paternal grandmother, she was the double cousin of Keōua. When her uncle was staying at Kohala superintending the collection of his fleet and warriors from the different districts of the island preparatory to the invasion of Maui, in the month of Ikuwa (probably winter) Kamehameha was born probably in November 1758.: 135–136 He had his birth ceremony at the Mo\u0000okini Heiau, an ancient temple which is preserved in Kohala Historical Sites State Monument.Many stories are told about the birth of Kamehameha.One says that when Keku\u0000iapoiwa was pregnant with Kamehameha, she had a craving for the eyeball of a chief. She was given the eyeball of a man-eating shark and the priests prophesied that this meant the child would be a rebel and a killer of chiefs. Alapainui, the old ruler of the island of Hawai\u0000i, secretly made plans to have the newborn infant killed.Keku\u0000iapoiwa's time came on a stormy night in the Kohala district, when a strange star with a tail of white fire appeared in the western sky. This could have been Halley's Comet which appeared near the end of 1758. According to one legend, the baby was passed through a hole in the side of Kekuiapoiwa's thatched hut to a local Kohala chief named Nae\u0000ole, who carried the child to safety at Awini on the island's north coast. By the time the infant in Nae\u0000ole's care was five, Alapainui had accepted him back into his household.After Kamehameha, Keku\u0000iapoiwa bore a second son, Keliimaikai. A few years later, Keōua died in Hilo, and the family moved with Alapainui to an area near Kawaihae, where she married a chief of the Kona district (and her uncle) Kamanawa.She had one daughter, Pi\u0000ipi\u0000i Kalanikaulihiwakama, from this second husband, who would later become an important military ally of Kamehameha, who was both step son and cousin through several relationships. Pi\u0000ipi\u0000i became first the wife of Keholoikalani, the father of her son Kanihonui, and later she married Kaikioewa, who she had a daughter Kuwahine with.: 18Kamehameha dynastyPassage 2:Billy MilanoBilly Milano (born June 3, 1964) is an American heavy metal and hardcore punk musician.

He is best known for having been the singer of Trust.He was one of the best friends of Bon Scott the singer of AC/DC and together they recorded the song \"Ride On\" which was one of the last songs by Bon Scott.External linksBernie Bonvoisin at IMDbPassage 4:Robin ThickeRobin Alan Thicke (born March 10, 1977) is an American singer, songwriter and record producer. He is best known for his 2013 hit single \"Blurred Lines\" (featuring T.I. and Pharrell Williams), which is one of the best-selling singles of all time. At the 56th Annual Grammy Awards, he received nominations for Record of the Year and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance.Thicke is a son of actress Gloria Loring and actor Alan Thicke. He has collaborated with numerous artists, such as Nicki Minaj, Nas, 3T, T.I., Christina Aguilera, Jessie J, K. Michelle, Pharrell, DJ Cassidy, Usher, Jennifer Hudson, Flo Rida, Brandy, Kid Cudi, Mary J. Blige, Emily Ratajkowski and composed songs for Marc Anthony. He worked on albums such as Usher's Confessions and Lil Wayne's Tha Carter III, while releasing his own R&B singles in the United States including \"Lost Without U\", \"Magic\", and \"Sex Therapy\". He is currently a judge on the Fox musical competition show The Masked Singer.Life and career1977–1998: early years and familyThicke was born in Los Angeles, California, on March 10, 1977. His parents are American actress-singer Gloria Loring, who appeared on the NBC daytime drama Days of Our Lives, and Canadian actor Alan Thicke (1947–2016), known for his role on the TV sitcom Growing Pains. They divorced when Thicke was 7 years old. He has an older brother, Brennan, who worked as a voice actor and voiced the titular character on the Dennis the Menace cartoon, and a younger half-brother, Carter. Robin Thicke also appeared in small roles on The Wonder Years, The New Lassie, Just the Ten of Us and several episodes of Growing Pains.Thicke's parents were supportive of his musical inclinations; his father helped him to write and structure his first songs. According to Robin Thicke, his father would not pay for him (then in his early teens) and his vocal group, As One, to record a professionally produced demo tape, wanting Robin to focus on his studies and graduate from school before committing to the pursuit of a career in music. The demo ultimately was paid for by jazz vocalist Al Jarreau, an uncle of one of the group members. His demo made its way to R&B singer Brian McKnight, who was impressed enough by Thicke to invite him into the studio to work with him. Thicke was signed to McKnight's production company; \"Anyway\", a song co-written with Thicke, was featured on McKnight's second album I Remember You. Thicke's peers jokingly nicknamed him \"Brian McWhite\". It was Thicke's association with McKnight, who Thicke counts as one of his first mentors, that led him to his acquaintance with Jimmy Iovine and helped him to land his first recording contract with Interscope Records at the age of 16. Thicke later joined a hip hop duo with future Beverly Hills 90210 actor Brian Austin Green.Thicke moved out on his own at the age of 17, during his senior year of high school, earning a living and supporting himself as a professional record producer and songwriter. Thicke has noted that while his parents did not attempt to dissuade him from his desire to be in the music industry, their own experience with the nature of the entertainment business made them leery in the beginning. As Thicke's list of credits grew so did his parents' confidence in his decision.While initially signed as a singer and artist in his own right, Thicke first made a name for himself within the industry as a songwriter and producer for other artists before releasing and performing his own music. Among his work for other artists, Thicke co-wrote \"Love Is on My Side\" on Brandy's eponymous debut album; he also wrote for 3T's Brotherhood, and collaborated with Jordan Knight, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis on several songs in Knight's 1999 album Jordan Knight including the Billboard top 10 hit \"Give It to You\". According to Thicke, Knight also invested in the ability of the young songwriter early on by purchasing studio equipment for him.He also co-wrote the song \"When You Put Your Hands on Me\" for Christina Aguilera's debut album and co-wrote and produced three songs for Mýa's sophomore release, Fear of Flying. In 1999, Thicke co-wrote the song \"Fall Again\" with Walter Afanasieff, which was intended to be a track on Michael Jackson's 2001 album Invincible, but it failed to be presented as a completed song. The demo Michael recorded in 1999 was released on November 16, 2004, as an album track of his limited edition box set The Ultimate Collection. As an artist, he recorded and performed solely under his surname, Thicke. He would continue to do so until 2005.1999–2003: A Beautiful World and early successAt the age of 22, after an involvement with Tommy Mottola and Epic Records following the end of his first deal with Interscope, Thicke resolved himself to work chiefly on material for his debut album, initially titled Cherry Blue Skies, planning to use his own money to fund the project. As Thicke told Billboard, \"I decided I was going to save money to make my album, and I hoped to offer it to labels–take it or leave it–so I didn't have to negotiate how to make my music.\" While piecing his album together, Thicke began working with veteran producer and label executive Andre Harrell and, under his guidance, eventually signed with Interscope for a second time as part of Harrell's and Kenneth \"Babyface\" Edmonds' Nu America imprint label in 2001.In 2002, Thicke released his debut single \"When I Get You Alone\". The track samples Walter Murphy's \"A Fifth of Beethoven\", which itself is a disco rendition of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony. The music video for the song received some rotation on MTV2 and BET's Rated Next and was spun moderately on pop and urban radio, peaking at number 49 on Radio & Records Pop chart. Globally, however, \"When I Get You Alone\" became a chart success when it peaked in the Top 20 in Australia, Belgium, and Italy, and reached the Top 10 of the singles charts in New Zealand and the Top 3 in the Netherlands.The moderate success was enough to signal the release of the album in 2003 with its name changed to A Beautiful World. Despite the release of a second single, \"Brand New Jones\", the album received very little promotion and debuted at number 152 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, selling 119,000 copies as of January 2012. A Beautiful World fell below the label's commercial expectations. The album's under-performance troubled Thicke personally, but it proved enough to make him a wanted collaborator. Thicke has cited Mary J. Blige, Usher, and Lil' Wayne, among others, as those who subsequently reached out to him.Reflecting on A Beautiful World in 2013, Usher stated to The New York Times, \"I was blown away — I thought Beatles, Earth Wind & Fire, Shuggie Otis, Marvin Gaye — all in one album. [Robin's] got a soul you can't buy, man.\"Runner-up Blake Lewis performed \"When I Get You Alone\" during the 2007 season of American Idol when the Top 3 chose a song to sing. Lewis has often put Robin Thicke in his list of musical influences in interviews and on the American Idol website. The song was also performed by Blaine Anderson (played by Darren Criss) on Glee during the Season 2 episode \"Silly Love Songs\".2004–07: The Evolution of Robin Thicke and commercial breakthroughFollowing A Beautiful World, Thicke was keen to begin "} +{"doc_id":"doc_110","qid":"","text":"Passage 1:Conaire CóemConaire Cóem (\"the beautiful\"), son of Mug Láma, son of Coirpre Crou-Chend, son of Coirpre Firmaora, son of Conaire Mór, was, according to medieval Irish legend and historical tradition, the 111th High King of Ireland.

He was the Grandfather of industrialist Paul Wittouck and of Belgian navigator Guillaume Delcourt.BiographyGuillaume Wittouck, born in Drogenbos on 30 October 1749 and died in Brussels on 12 June 1829, lawyer at the Brabant Council, became Counselor at the Supreme Court of Brabant in 1791. During the Brabant Revolution, he sided with the Vonckists, who were in favor of new ideas. When Belgium joined France, he became substitute for the commissioner of the Directory at the Civil Court of the Department of the Dyle, then under the consulate, in 1800, judge at the Brussels Court of Appeal, then from 1804 to 1814, under the Empire, counselor at the Court of Appeal of Brussels, then advisor to the Superior Court of Brussels.

Petit-Bigard will remain the home of the elder branch until its sale in 1941.Passage 3:Coirpre mac FogartaigCoirpre mac Fogartaig (died 771) was a King of Brega of the Uí Chernaig sept of Lagore of the Síl nÁedo Sláine branch of the southern Ui Neill. He was the son of the high king Fogartach mac Néill (died 724).He is not listed in the poem on the Síl nÁedo Sláine rulers in the Book of Leinster, however at his death obit in the annals for 771 he is called King of Brega. His accession to the rule of the Uí Chernaig sept in south Brega cannot be dated with certainty. His brother Fergus mac Fogartaig (died 751) is called King of South Brega at his death obit. The annals then record the deaths of his cousin Domnall mac Áeda in 759 and his brother Finsnechta mac Fogartaig in 761 with no titles. As for his accession to all of Brega, the death of the Brega king Dúngal mac Amalgado of the rival northern Uí Chonaing sept of Cnogba (Knowth) occurred in 759.Coirpre is first mentioned in the annals with regard to the death of his son Cellach, who was killed by robbers in 767. Then Coirpre is driven into exile in 769 by Donnchad Midi (died 797) of the rival southern Ui Neill branch of Clann Cholmáin based in Mide. A battle had been fought between the men of Mide and Brega in 766. The year after Coirpre's exile the men of southern Brega were defeated at the Battle of Bolgg Bóinne in 770 and two members of the sept were slain, Cernach mac Flainn (a grandson of Fogartach) and Flaithbertach mac Flainn as well as the vassal king Uarchride mac Baeth of the Deisi Brega. This was in conjunction with a campaign of Donnchad Midi versus Leinster and may have been part of that or Donnchad may have defeated the men of southern Brega on is way home. Coirpre then reappears in the year 771 at his death obit with the title King of Brega.NotesSee alsoKings of BregaPassage 4:Fogartach mac NéillFogartach Mac'Artain (died 724), sometimes called Fogartach ua Cernaich, was an Irish king who is reckoned a High King of Ireland. He belonged to the Uí Chernaig sept of the Síl nÁedo Sláine branch of the southern Uí Néill. He was King of Brega and was the son of Niall mac Cernaig Sotal (died 701) and great-grandson of the high king Diarmait mac Áedo Sláine (died 665).King of BregaFogartach may be identified with the \"Focortoch\" who signed as a guarantor of the Cáin Adomnáin at Birr in 697.The earliest report of him in the Irish annals is his flight from the battlefield at the Battle of Claenath (Clane, Co. Kildare) in 704 following the defeat of a number of southern Uí Néill kings by Cellach Cualann (died 715), King of Leinster.In 714, Fogartach was deposed as king of Brega and exiled in Britain. It has been suggested that it was the High King, Fergal mac Máele Dúin (died 722), who deposed him, but it appears more likely that this was a dispute within the fractious Síl nÁedo Sláine, and that Fogartach was removed by his uncle Conall Grant (died 718), assisted by Murchad Midi (died 715) of Clann Cholmáin. Conall killed Murchad the following year and Fogartach returned in 716.He caused some manner of disturbance in 717 at the Oenach Tailtiu—an annual Uí Néill gathering held at Teltown—where \"Ruba's son and Dub Sléibe's son\" were killed, but the annalistic record lacks sufficient context to explain what happened there and why.The following year Conall Grant won a battle against a coalition of southern Uí Néill kings at Kells, but was killed by Fergal mac Máele Dúin later that year.In the early 720s, Fogartach's lands were under attack by the kings of Leinster and Cathal mac Finguine, king of Munster. Fergal mac Máele Dúin undertook campaigns against Leinster in revenge, but was killed by the Leinstermen on one of these, at the battle of Allen, on 11 December 722. His brother Áed Laigin was slain in this battle.High KingFogartach replaced Fergal as High King, but himself fell victim to the war within the Síl nÁedo Sláine, being killed in the battle of Cenn Deilgden by his distant kinsman and successor Cináed mac Írgalaig of the Uí Chonaing sept of North Brega. This was an old feud, Cináed's father having assassinated Fogartach's father in 701. The report of his death in the Annals of Ulster does not refer to him as High King.DescendantsHis sons included:Flann Foirbthe (died 716) who died in his father's lifetime.-His son Cernach was slain at the Battle of Bolg Bóinne in 770.Cernach mac Fogartaig (died 738) killed by his criminal adherents.Fergus mac Fogartaig (died 751) called King of South Brega at his death obit.Finsnechta mac Fogartaig (died 761)Coirpre mac Fogartaig (died 771) called King of Brega in his death obit.Fogartach mac Cummascaig (died 786) king of South BregaCummuscach mac Fogartaig (flourished 778)His descendants representing the main line of the Uí Chernaig sept based at Lagore were in rivalry with his uncle Conall Grant's descendants, the Síl Conaill Graint based at Calatruim for the rule of southern Brega.NotesPassage 5:Kaya AlpKaya Alp (Ottoman Turkish: \u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000 \u0000\u0000\u0000, lit. ' Brave Rock') was, according to Ottoman tradition, the son of Kızıl Buğa or Basuk and the father of Suleyman Shah. He was the grandfather of Ertuğrul Ghazi, the father of the founder of the Ottoman Empire, Osman I. He was also famously known for being the successing name of Ertokus Bey’s son Kaya Alp. He was a descendant of the ancestor of his tribe, Kayı son of Gun son of Oghuz Khagan, the legendary progenitor of the Oghuz Turks.Passage 6:Prithvipati ShahPrithvipati Shah (Nepali: \u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000 \u0000\u0000\u0000) was the king of the Gorkha Kingdom in the South Asian subcontinent, present-day Nepal. He was the grandfather of Nara Bhupal Shah and reigned from 1673–1716.King Prithvipati Shah ascended to the throne after the demise of his father. He was the longest serving king of the Gorkha Kingdom but his reign saw a lot of struggles.Passage 7:John WestleyRev. John Wesley (1636–78) was an English nonconformist minister. He was the grandfather of John Wesley (founder of Methodism).LifeJohn Wesly (his own spelling), Westley, or Wesley was probably born at Bridport, Dorset, although some authorities claim he was born in Devon, the son of the Rev. Bartholomew Westley and Ann Colley, daughter of Sir Henry Colley of Carbery Castle in County Kildare, Ireland. He was educated at Dorchester Grammar School and as a student of New Inn Hall, Oxford, where he matriculated on 23 April 1651, and graduated B.A. on 23 January 1655, and M.A. on 4 July 1657. After his appointment as an evangelist, he preached at Melcombe Regis, Radipole, and other areas in Dorset. Never episcopally ordained, he was approved by Oliver Cromwell's Commission of Triers in 1658 and appointed Vicar of Winterborne Whitechurch.The report of his interview in 1661 with Gilbert Ironside the elder, his diocesan, according to Alexander Gordon writing in the Dictionary of National Biography, shows him to have been an Independent. He was imprisoned for not using the Book of Common Prayer, imprisoned again and ejected in 1662. After the Conventicle Act 1664 he continued to preach in small gatherings at Preston and then Poole, until his death at Preston in 1678.FamilyHe married a daughter of John White, who was related also to Thomas Fuller. White, the \"Patriarch of Dorchester\", married a sister of Cornelius Burges. Westley's eldest son was Timothy (born 1659). Their second son was Rev. Samuel Wesley, a High Church Anglican vicar and the father of John and Charles Wesley. A younger son, Matthew Wesley, remained a nonconformist, became a London apothecary, and died on 10 June 1737, leaving a son, Matthew, in India; he provided for some of his brother Samuel's daughters.NotesAdditional sourcesMatthews, A.

For the 10th-century Japanese poet also known as Nagayoshi, see Fujiwara no Nagatō.Fujiwara no Nagara (\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000, 802 – 6 August 856), also known as Fujiwara no Nagayoshi, was a Japanese statesman, courtier and politician of the early Heian period. He was the grandfather of Emperor Yōzei.LifeNagara was born as the eldest son of the sadaijin Fujiwara no Fuyutsugu, a powerful figure in the court of Emperor Saga. He was also a descendant of the early Japanese emperors and was well trusted by Emperor Ninmyō since his time as crown prince, and attended on him frequently. However, after Ninmyō took the throne, Nagara's advancement was overtaken by his younger brother Fujiwara no Yoshifusa. He served as director of the kurōdo-dokoro (\u0000\u0000 \u0000) and division chief (\u0000) in the imperial guard before finally making sangi and joining the kugyō in 844, ten years after his younger brother.In 850, Nagara's nephew Emperor Montoku took the throne, and Nagara was promoted to shō shi-i no ge (\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000) and then ju san-mi (\u0000\u0000\u0000), and in 851 to shō san-mi (\u0000\u0000\u0000). In the same year, though, Nagara was overtaken once more as his brother Fujiwara no Yoshimi, more than ten years his junior, was promoted to chūnagon.

Following this, he went to Paris to study medicine, but his health broke down while researching at a Paris hospital. In order to restore his health, he joined the French army in Algeria as a surgeon. In October 1847, Bryant returned to Boston to work with Dr. Henry Jacob Bigelow as a surgeon, but after a few months his health broke down again. After being forced to abandon medicine because of ill health, Bryant turned to natural history, especially ornithology, which was a childhood passion. Bryant visited nearby Cohasset, Massachusetts for one of his first collecting trips, but he seriously injured his stomach from a fall while landing his boat. After his recovery, he decided to push himself further in an attempt to strengthen his body. His collecting trips became more frequent and more far flung.Civil War serviceBryant took a break from natural history to volunteer as a surgeon during the American Civil War. He accepted an appointment as a surgeon for the 20th Regiment Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry, which was also known as \"The Harvard Regiment.\" By September 1861, Bryant was promoted to brigade surgeon. Soon after, he served on the staff of General Frederick W. Lander until March 2, 1862, when the general died of pneumonia.After Lander's death, Bryant was appointed Medical Director for General James Shield, a future senator. While serving as this post, Bryant fell off his horse so hard that his knee was nearly amputated. Despite the pain, he continued his duties. In the middle of 1862, he was placed in charge of organizing several hospitals, including Cliffburn Hospital and Lincoln Hospital. However, his mental and physical health collapsed again, and he resigned his commission in May 1863.Life after the Civil WarAfter the Civil War ended, Bryant made several trips to France, including to purchase the Frédéric de Lafresnaye collection of birds in 1865, which he presented to the Boston Society of Natural History. This collection contained nearly 9,000 mostly non-American specimen. The unpacking and remounting of the specimen was conducted by younger naturalists, including Charles Johnson Maynard, and took about a year to complete.In addition to his visits to France, Bryant collected birds in Florida, the Bahamas, Ontario and Labrador, North Carolina, Cuba, Jamaica and Puerto Rico. He was one of the first American ornithologists in the Caribbean.He died in Puerto Rico on February 2, 1867 during a brief illness on a collecting trip.Passage 2:Abd al-MuttalibShayba ibn Hāshim (Arabic: \u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000 \u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000 \u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000; c. 497–578), better known as \u0000Abd al-Mu\u0000\u0000alib, (Arabic: \u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000 \u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000, lit. 'Servant of Muttalib') was the fourth chief of the Quraysh tribal confederation. He was the grandfather of the Islamic prophet Muhammad.Early lifeHis father was Hashim ibn 'Abd Manaf,: 81 the progenitor of the distinguished Banu Hashim, a clan of the Quraysh tribe of Mecca. They claimed descent from Ismā'īl and Ibrāhīm. His mother was Salma bint Amr, from the Banu Najjar, a clan of the Khazraj tribe in Yathrib (later called Madinah). Hashim died while doing business in Gaza, before Abd al-Muttalib was born.: 81 His real name was \"Shaiba\" meaning 'the ancient one' or 'white-haired' because of the streak of white through his jet-black hair, and is sometimes also called Shaybah al-\u0000amd (\"The white streak of praise\").: 81–82 After his father's death he was raised in Yathrib with his mother and her family until about the age of eight, when his uncle Muttalib ibn Abd Manaf went to see him and asked his mother Salmah to entrust Shaybah to his care. Salmah was unwilling to let her son go and Shaiba refused to leave his mother without her consent. Mu\u0000\u0000alib then pointed out that the possibilities Yathrib had to offer were incomparable to Mecca. Salmah was impressed with his arguments, so she agreed to let him go. Upon first arriving in Mecca, the people assumed the unknown child was Muttalib's servant and started calling him 'Abd al-Muttalib (\"servant of Muttalib\").: 85–86Chieftain of Hashim clanWhen Mu\u0000\u0000alib died, Shaiba succeeded him as the chief of the Hāshim clan. Following his uncle Al-Mu\u0000\u0000alib, he took over the duties of providing the pilgrims with food and water, and carried on the practices of his forefathers with his people. He attained such eminence as none of his forefathers enjoyed; his people loved him and his reputation was great among them.: 61 'Umar ibn Al-Kha\u0000\u0000āb's grandfather Nufayl ibn Abdul Uzza arbitrated in a dispute between 'Abdul-Mu\u0000\u0000alib and \u0000arb ibn Umayyah, Abu Sufyan's father, over the custodianship of the Kaaba. Nufayl gave his verdict in favour of 'Abdul-Mu\u0000\u0000alib. Addressing \u0000arb ibn Umayyah, he said:Why do you pick a quarrel with a person who is taller than you in stature; more imposing than you in appearance; more refined than you in intellect; whose progeny outnumbers yours and whose generosity outshines yours in lustre? Do not, however, construe this into any disparagement of your good qualities which I highly appreciate. You are as gentle as a lamb, you are renowned throughout Arabia for the stentorian tones of your voice, and you are an asset to your tribe.Discovery of Zam Zam Well'Abdul-Mu\u0000\u0000alib said that while sleeping in the sacred enclosure, he had dreamed he was ordered to dig at the worship place of the Quraysh between the two deities Isāf and Nā'ila. There he would find the Zamzam Well, which the Jurhum tribe had filled in when they left Mecca. The Quraysh tried to stop him digging in that spot, but his son Al-\u0000ārith stood guard until they gave up their protests. After three days of digging, 'Abdul-Mu\u0000\u0000alib found traces of an ancient religious well and exclaimed, \"Allahuakbar!\" Some of the Quraysh disputed his claim to sole rights over water, then one of them suggested that they go to a female shaman who lived afar. It was said that she could summon jinns and that she could help them decide who was the owner of the well. So, 11 people from the 11 tribes went on the expedition. They had to cross the desert to meet the priestess but then they got lost. There was a lack of food and water and people started to lose hope of ever getting out. One of them suggested that they dig their own graves and if they died, the last person standing would bury the others. So all began digging their own graves and just as Abdul-Mu\u0000\u0000alib started digging, water spewed out from the hole he dug and everyone became overjoyed. It was then and there decided that Abdul-Muttalib was the owner of the Zam Zam well. Thereafter he supplied pilgrims to the Kaaba with Zam Zam water, which soon eclipsed all the other wells in Mecca because it was considered sacred.: 86–89 : 62–65The Year of the ElephantAccording to Muslim tradition, the Ethiopian governor of Yemen, Abrahah al-Ashram, envied the Kaaba's reverence among the Arabs and, being a Christian, he built a cathedral on Sana'a and ordered pilgrimage be made there.: 21 The order was ignored and someone desecrated (some saying in the form of defecation: 696 note 35 ) the cathedral. Abrahah decided to avenge this act by demolishing the Kaaba and he advanced with an army towards Mecca.: 22–23 There were thirteen elephants in Abrahah's army: 99 : 26 and the year came to be known as 'Ām al-Fīl (the Year of the Elephant), beginning a trend for reckoning the years in Arabia which was used until 'Umar ibn Al-Kha\u0000\u0000āb replaced it with the Islamic Calendar in 638 CE (17 AH), with the first year of the Islamic Calendar being 622 CE.When news of the advance of Abrahah's army came, the Arab tribes of Quraysh, Kinānah, Khuzā'ah and Hudhayl united in defence of the Kaaba. A man from the \u0000imyar tribe was sent by Abrahah to advise them that he only wished to demolish the Kaaba and if they resisted, they would be crushed. \"Abdul-Mu\u0000\u0000alib told the Meccans to seek refuge in the nearest high hills while he, with some leading members of Quraysh, remained within the precincts of the Kaaba. Abrahah sent a dispatch inviting 'Abdul-Mu\u0000\u0000alib to meet him and discuss matters. When 'Abdul-Mu\u0000\u0000alib left the meeting he was heard saying, \"The Owner of this House is its Defender, and I am sure He will save it from the attack of the adversaries and will not dishonour the servants of His House.\": 24–26 It is recorded that when Abrahah's forces neared the Kaaba, Allah commanded small birds (abābīl) to destroy Abrahah's army, raining down pebbles on it from their beaks. Abrahah was seriously wounded and retreated towards Yemen but died on the way.: 26–27 This event is referred to in the following Qur'anic chapter:Have you not seen how your Lord dealt with the owners of the Elephant?Did He not make their treacherous plan go astray?And He sent against them birds in flocks, striking them with stones of baked clay, so He rendered them like straw eaten up.Most Islamic sources place the event around the year that Muhammad was born, 570 CE, though other scholars place it one or two decades earlier. A tradition attributed to Ibn Shihab al-Zuhri in the musannaf of \u0000Abd al-Razzaq al-San\u0000ani places it before the birth of Muhammad's father.Sacrificing his son AbdullahAl-Harith was 'Abdul-Mu\u0000\u0000alib's only son at the time he dug the Zamzam Well.: 64 When the Quraysh tried to help him in the digging, he vowed that if he were to have ten sons to protect him, he would sacrifice one of them to Allah at the Kaaba. Later, after nine more sons had been born to him, he told them he must keep the vow. The divination arrows fell upon his favourite son Abdullah. The Quraysh protested 'Abdul-Mu\u0000\u0000alib's intention to sacrifice his son and demanded that he sacrifice something else instead. 'Abdul-Mu\u0000\u0000alib agreed to consult a \"sorceress with a familiar spirit\". She told him to cast lots between Abdullah and ten camels. If Abdullah were chosen, he had to add ten more camels, and keep on doing the same until his Lord accepted the camels in Abdullah's place. When the number of camels reached 100, the lot fell on the camels. ' Abdul-Mu\u0000\u0000alib confirmed this by repeating the test three times. Then the camels were sacrificed, and Abdullah was spared.: 66–68FamilyWivesAbd al-Muttalib had six known wives.Sumra bint Jundab of the Hawazin tribe.Lubnā bint Hājar of the Khuza'a tribe.Fatima bint Amr of the Makhzum clan of the Quraysh tribe.Halah bint Wuhayb of the Zuhrah clan of the Quraysh tribe.Natīla bint Janab of the Namir tribe.Mumanna'a bint Amr of the Khuza'a tribe.ChildrenAccording to Ibn Hisham, \u0000Abd al-Mu\u0000\u0000alib had ten sons and six daughters.: 707–708 note 97 However, Ibn Sa'd lists twelve sons.: 99–101 By Sumra bint Jundab:Al-\u0000ārith.: 708 He was the firstborn and he died before his father.: 99 Quthum.: 100 He is not listed by Ibn Hisham.By Fatima bint Amr:Al-Zubayr.: 707 He was a poet and a chief; his father made a will in his favour.: 99 He died before Islam, leaving two sons and daughters.: 101 : 34–35 Abu Talib, born as Abd Manaf,: 99 : 707 father of the future Caliph Ali.

Since Eilika had no brothers, afterher father's death in 1106, Eilika and her sister, Wulfhilde of Saxony, inherited his property. Eilika received property in Bernburg, Weißenfels, Werben andperhaps also in Burgwerden and Kreichau, as well as the Palatinate of Saxony.In 1130 Eilika was in conflict with the citizens of the city of Halle, probably becauseof her support for Archbishop Norbert of Magdeburg.

She was Duchess consort of Mecklenburg, heiress ofSweden and of Norway, and mother of King Albert of Sweden. (c. 1338-1412) .BiographyEarly lifeEuphemia was born in 1317 to Eric Magnusson (b. c.1282-1318), Duke of Södermanland, second son of King Magnus I of Sweden, and Princess Ingeborg of Norway (1300–1360), the heiress and the only legitimatedaughter of King Haakon V of Norway (1270– 1319).In 1319, her infant elder brother Magnus VII of Norway (1316–1374) succeeded their maternal grandfatherto the throne of Norway. That same year, Swedish nobles exiled their uncle, King Birger of Sweden, after which the infant Magnus was elected King of Sweden.Their mother Ingeborg had a seat in the guardian government as well as the position of an independent ruler of her own fiefs, and played an important partduring their childhood and adolescence.The 24 July 1321 marriage contract for Euphemia was signed at Bohus in her mother's fief in Bohuslän. Her mother hadplans to take control over Danish Scania, next to her duchy. The marriage was arranged with the terms that Mecklenburg, Saxony, Holstein, Rendsburg andSchleswig would assist Ingeborg in the conquest of Scania. This was approved by the council of Norway but not Sweden. When Ingeborg's forces under commandof Knut Porse of Varberg, invaded Scania in 1322–23, Mecklenburg betrayed her and the alliance was broken. Eventually, the affair of Euphemia's marriage led toa conflict between Ingeborg and the governments of Sweden and Norway, which led to the demise of Ingeborg's political position in the guardian governments.The marriage took place anyway, after a fifteen-year engagement. Euphemia did not lack influence in Sweden. She is known to have acted as the witness of sealsin several documents.

He is known as the 'Father of the Dravidian movement'. He rebelled against Brahminical dominance and gender and caste inequality in Tamil Nadu.Since 2021, the Indian state of Tamil Nadu celebrates his birth anniversary as 'Social Justice Day'.Ramasamy joined the Indian National Congress in 1919, butresigned in 1925 when he felt that the party was only serving the interests of Brahmins. He questioned the subjugation of non-Brahmin Dravidians as Brahminsenjoyed gifts and donations from non-Brahmins but opposed and discriminated against non-Brahmins in cultural and religious matters. He declared hispolitical/social views to be \"no god; no religion; no Gandhi; no Congress; and no brahmins.\"In 1924, Ramasamy participated in non-violent agitation (satyagraha)in Vaikom, Travancore.

Her maternal grandparents were Charles Brandon, 1st Duke of Suffolkand Mary Tudor, Queen of France. Mary was the third daughter of King Henry VII of England and Elizabeth of York.Early lifeMargaret was born at Brougham Castlein 1540. Her mother died when she was seven and her father left court.Claim to the throneAccording to the will of Henry VIII, Margaret was in line to inherit thethrone of England. Upon the death of her mother, Margaret became seventh in line. However, both her cousins Lady Jane Grey and Lady Mary Grey died withoutissue, and their sister, her other cousin, Lady Catherine Grey, died without the legitimacy of her two sons ever being proven (this was later established but onlyafter the death of Elizabeth I). Margaret quickly moved up to becoming the first in line to the throne but died prior to the death of Elizabeth I.Marriage andfamilyIn 1552, John Dudley, 1st Duke of Northumberland suggested a marriage of his youngest son Guildford to Margaret, yet, although the proposal had thewarm support of Edward VI, her father was against it. A year later, in June 1553, the Imperial ambassador Jehan Scheyfve reported that Northumberland'sbrother Andrew Dudley would marry Margaret. The Dudleys were imprisoned when Mary I gained the throne.Margaret joined Mary's court and married HenryStanley, 4th Earl of Derby on 7 February 1555 in the Chapel Royal at Whitehall Palace. They had something of a stormy relationship. Margaret wrote that therewere several \"breaches and reconciliations\", but that her husband finally left her leaving serious debt. In 1567, Lady Le Strange petitioned the Queen's advisor,William Cecil, for a financial settlement from her estranged husband.With whom she had at least four children:Edward Stanley. Died young.Ferdinando Stanley,5th Earl of Derby (c. 1559 – 16 April 1594).William Stanley, 6th Earl of Derby (c. 1561 – 29 September 1642).Francis Stanley (b. 1562). Died young.She latermarried Thomas Fitzwilliam Le Strange, and in 1563 gave birth to a daughter Frances Jenison (née Le Strange) and possibly several other children.Disgrace anddeathIn 1579, Margaret was arrested after she had been heard discussing a proposed marriage of Queen Elizabeth to the Duke d'Alençon. She was opposed to itas it threatened her own possible accession to the crown. She was then accused of using sorcery to predict when Elizabeth would die, and even of planning topoison Elizabeth.Simply predicting the death of a monarch was a capital offence at the time. The countess was put under house arrest. She wrote to FrancisWalsingham insisting on her innocence. She claimed that the accused sorcerer, William Randall, was in fact her physician, who was staying with her because hecould cure \"sickness and weakness in my body\". Randall was subsequently executed. No charges were brought against the countess, but she was banished fromcourt. She wrote repeatedly to the queen complaining that she was in a \"black dungeon of sorrow and despair....overwhelmed with heaviness through the loss ofyour majesty's favour and gracious countenance.\" She continued to be plagued by demands from creditors.Margaret died in 1596 without having recovered royalfavour, and having outlived her eldest son, Ferdinando. Her granddaughter, Lady Anne Stanley, Ferdinando's oldest daughter, inherited her claim. Elizabeth I waseventually succeeded by the genealogically senior claimant, James VI of Scotland.PortraitThere is a discrepancy as to who the sitter is in the Hans Eworth portraitwhich is featured. The coat of arms in the top left corner, which may have been added later, are the impaled arms (those of a husband and wife) of Henry Clifford,2nd Earl of Cumberland, and his wife Lady Eleanor, daughter of Charles Brandon, 1st Duke of Suffolk, and Mary Tudor, Dowager Queen of France. As a result, thepainting has been frequently exhibited in the past as a portrait of Lady Eleanor, regardless of the fact that she died in 1547, well before the date of this portrait. Itis, however, a rule of heraldry that impaled arms are not used by the children of a marriage, as they would have their own. Hence the later addition anderroneous use of the arms here suggests that the identity of the portrait was already unclear only two or three generations after it was painted, a situation by nomeans unusual amid the frequent early deaths, multiple marriages, and shifting alliances and fortunes of the most powerful families of the Tudor era. Later theportrait was thought to represent the only child of Eleanor and Henry to survive infancy, Margaret. The inscription on the right which might have provided a check(Margaret would have been aged 25–28 at the time of this portrait) has been truncated; although the Roman numerals of the year can apply only to 1565–8, theage of the sitter cannot be ascertained with any useful accuracy.The National Portrait Gallery has an online sketch of this portrait identified as Lady Eleanor, butthe portrait remains in dispute.Passage 2:Henry Clifford, 2nd Earl of CumberlandHenry Clifford, 2nd Earl of Cumberland (1517 – January 1570) was a member ofthe Clifford family, seated at Skipton Castle from 1310 to 1676. His wife was Lady Eleanor Brandon, a niece of King Henry VIII.OriginsHenry was a son of HenryClifford, 1st Earl of Cumberland, by his wife, Margaret Percy, daughter of Henry Algernon Percy, 5th Earl of Northumberland, and Catherine Spencer.AncestryHismaternal great-grandfather was Henry Percy, 4th Earl of Northumberland, whose wife was Maud Herbert, Countess of Northumberland.

Shewas a granddaughter of Richard de Beauchamp, 13th Earl of Warwick, and Elizabeth Berkeley. He served as hereditary High Sheriff of Westmorland.Marriages andprogenyHenry Clifford married twice.Firstly, before June 1537, Henry married Lady Eleanor Brandon (she was his fourth-cousin through his mother's side), thesecond daughter of Charles Brandon, 1st Duke of Suffolk, by his third wife, Mary Tudor, former Queen Consort of France. According to the Third Succession Act of23 March 1544, Lady Eleanor Brandon was the seventh-in-line to the throne of the Kingdom of England. With her death, her daughter, Lady Margaret Clifford,took her place in the line of succession. The expenses of this alliance seriously impoverished Henry's estate and obliged him to alienate the great manor ofTemedbury, Herefordshire, the oldest estate then remaining in the family. Eleanor was a younger sister of Henry Brandon (who died very young) and LadyFrances Brandon, and an older sister of Henry Brandon, 1st Earl of Lincoln (named after their dead brother).

By his wife Eleanor Brandon, Henry had three children:Lady Margaret Clifford(1540 – 29 September 1596), wife of Henry Stanley, 4th Earl of Derby.Henry Clifford, died an infant.Charles Clifford, died an infant.Secondly, Henry married AnneDacre (c. 1521 – July 1581), the daughter of William Dacre, 3rd Baron Dacre, and Lady Elizabeth Talbot, daughter of George Talbot, 4th Earl of Shrewsbury, andAnne Hastings. Anne Hastings was a daughter of William Hastings, 1st Baron Hastings, and Lady Katherine Neville.

A similar charge wasadvanced in February 1562. He was in 1569 strongly opposed to the contemplated marriage of Mary Queen of Scots and Thomas Howard, 4th Duke of Norfolk,and readily promised support to the great rebellion of that year. In May 1569 he was in London. As the year wore on he gave in his adherence to the scheme forproclaiming Mary queen of England; but when the critical moment arrived he did not act with vigour, but as a 'crazed man, leaving his tenants to the leadership ofLeonard Dacres'. He assisted Lord Scrope in fortifying Carlisle against the rebels. Henry is described by his daughter as having 'a good library,' being 'studious inall manner of learning, and much given to alchemy.'Death and burialHe died shortly after 8 January 1569–70, at Brougham Castle, and was buried at SkiptonCastle.Passage 3:Henry Clifford, 5th Earl of CumberlandHenry Clifford, 5th Earl of Cumberland (28 February 1592 – 11 December 1643) was an Englishlandowner and politician who sat in the House of Commons between 1614 and 1622.

He was educated at Christ Church, Oxford. In 1607, he became joint Lord Lieutenant of Cumberland, Northumberland andWestmorland. He was elected Member of Parliament for Westmorland in 1614, and was returned in 1621. In 1621, he became Custos Rotulorum of Westmorland.He was created Baron Clifford in 1628.Clifford was a supporter of Charles I during the so-called Bishops' Wars in Scotland, and also during the Civil War until hisdeath. He succeeded to the title of Earl of Cumberland in 1641 and died two years later in 1643 at the age of 52; as he left no sons the earldom becameextinct.Clifford married Lady Frances Cecil (1593 – 14 February 1644), daughter of Robert Cecil, 1st Earl of Salisbury and Elizabeth Brooke on 25 July, 1610, at StMary Abbots Church, Kensington.

Henri Christophe was a slavepurchased by her father. Supposedly, he earned enough money in tips from his duties at the hotel that he was able to purchase his freedom before the HaitianRevolution. They married in Cap-Haïtien in 1793, having had a relationship with him from the year prior. They had four children: François Ferdinand (born 1794),Françoise-Améthyste (d. 1831), Athénaïs (d. 1839) and Victor-Henri.At her spouse's new position in 1798, she moved to the Sans-Souci Palace. During theFrench invasion, she and her children lived underground until 1803.QueenIn 1811, Marie-Louise was given the title of queen upon the creation of the Kingdom ofHaiti. Her new status gave her ceremonial tasks to perform, ladies-in-waiting, a secretary and her own court. She took her position seriously, and stated that thetitle \"given to her by the nation\" also gave her responsibilities and duties to perform. She served as the hostess of the ceremonial royal court life performed at theSans-Souci Palace. She did not involve herself in the affairs of state. She was given the position of Regent should her son succeed her spouse while still being aminor. However, as her son became of age before the death of his father, this was never to materialize.After the death of the king in 1820, she remained withher daughters Améthyste and Athénaïs at the palace until they were escorted from it by his followers together with his corpse; after their departure, the palacewas attacked and plundered. Marie-Louise and her daughters were given the property Lambert outside Cap. She was visited by president Jean Pierre Boyer, whooffered her his protection; he denied the spurs of gold she gave him, stating that he was the leader of poor people. They were allowed to settle in Port-au-Prince.Marie-Louise was described as calm and resigned, but her daughters, especially Athénaïs, were described as vengeful.ExileThe Queen was in exile for 30 years. InAugust 1821, the former queen left Haiti with her daughters under the protection of the British admiral Sir Home Popham, and travelled to London. There wererumours that she was searching for the money, three million, deposited by her spouse in Europe. Whatever the case, she did live the rest of her life withouteconomic difficulties. The English climate and pollution during the Industrial Revolution was determintal to Améthyste's health, and eventually they decided toleave.In 1824, Marie-Louise and her daughters moved in Pisa in Italy, where they lived for the rest of their lives, Améthyste dying shortly after their arrival andAthénaïs in 1839. They lived discreetly for the most part, but were occasionally bothered by fortune hunters and throne claimers who wanted their fortune.Shortly before her death, she wrote to Haiti for permission to return. She never did, however, before she died in Italy. She is buried in the church of San Donnino.A historical marker was installed in front of the church on April 23, 2023 to commemorate the Queen, her daughter and her sister.See alsoMarie-Claire HeureuseFélicitéAdélina LévêquePassage 2:Sophia Magdalena of DenmarkSophia Magdalena of Denmark (Danish: Sophie Magdalene; Swedish: Sofia Magdalena; 3 July1746 – 21 August 1813) was Queen of Sweden from 1771 to 1792 as the wife of King Gustav III. Born into the House of Oldenburg, the royal family ofDenmark-Norway, Sophia Magdalena was the first daughter of King Frederick V of Denmark and Norway and his first consort, Princess Louise of Great Britain.Already at the age of five, she was betrothed to Gustav, the heir apparent to the throne of Sweden, as part of an attempt to improve the traditionally tenserelationship between the two Scandinavian realms. She was subsequently brought up to be the Queen of Sweden, and they married in 1766. In 1771, Sophia'shusband ascended to the throne and became King of Sweden, making Sophia Queen of Sweden. Their coronation was on 29 May 1772.The politically arrangedmarriage was unsuccessful. The desired political consequences for the mutual relations between the two countries did not materialize, and on a personal level theunion also proved to be unhappy. Sophia Magdalena was of a quiet and serious nature, and found it difficult to adjust to her husband's pleasure seeking court.She dutifully performed her ceremonial duties but did not care for social life and was most comfortable in quiet surroundings with a few friends. However, she wasliked by many in the Caps party, believing she was a symbol of virtue and religion. The relationship between the spouses improved somewhat in the years from1775 to 1783, but subsequently deteriorated again.After her husband was assassinated in 1792, Sophia Magdalena withdrew from public life, and led a quiet lifeas dowager queen until her death in 1813.Early lifePrincess Sophie Magdalene was born on 3 July 1746 at her parents' residence Charlottenborg Palace, located atthe large square, Kongens Nytorv, in central Copenhagen. She was the second child and first daughter of Crown Prince Frederick of Denmark and his first consort,the former Princess Louise of Great Britain, and was named for her grandmother, Queen Sophie Magdalene. She received her own royal household at birth.Justone month after her birth, her grandfather King Christian VI died, and Princess Sophie Magdalene's father ascended the throne as King Frederick V. She was theheir presumptive to the throne of Denmark from the death of her elder brother in 1747 until the birth of her second brother in 1749, and retained her status asnext in line to the Danish throne after her brother until her marriage. She was therefore often referred to as Crown Princess of Denmark.In the spring of 1751, atthe age of five, she was betrothed to Gustav, the heir apparent to the throne of Sweden, and she was brought up to be the Queen of Sweden. The marriage wasarranged by the Riksdag of the Estates, not by the Swedish royal family. The marriage was arranged as a way of creating peace between Sweden and Denmark,which had a long history of war and which had strained relations following the election of an heir to the Swedish throne in 1743, where the Danish candidate hadlost. The engagement was met with some worry from Queen Louise, who feared that her daughter would be mistreated by the Queen of Sweden, Louisa Ulrika ofPrussia. The match was known to be disliked by the Queen of Sweden, who was in constant conflict with the Parliament; and who was known in Denmark for herpride, dominant personality and hatred of anything Danish, which she demonstrated in her treatment of the Danish ambassadors in Stockholm.After the death ofher mother early in her life, Sophia Magdalena was given a very strict and religious upbringing by her grandmother and her stepmother, who considered herfather and brother to be morally degenerate. She is noted to have had good relationships with her siblings, her grandmother and her stepmother; her father,however, often frightened her when he came before her drunk, and was reportedly known to set his dogs upon her, causing in her a lifelong phobia.In 1760, thebetrothal was again brought up by Denmark, which regarded it as a matter of prestige. The negotiations were made between Denmark and the Swedish Queen,as King Adolf Frederick of Sweden was never considered to be of any more than purely formal importance. Louisa Ulrika favored a match between Gustav and herniece Philippine of Brandenburg-Schwedt instead, and claimed that she regarded the engagement to be void and forced upon her by Carl Gustaf Tessin. Shenegotiated with Catherine the Great and her brother Frederick the Great to create some political benefit for Denmark in exchange for a broken engagement.However, the Swedish public was very favorable to the match due to expectations Sophia Magdalena would be like the last Danish-born Queen of Sweden, UlrikaEleonora of Denmark, who was very loved for her kindness and charity. This view was supported by the Caps political party, which expected Sophia Magdalena tobe an example of a virtuous and religious representative of the monarchy in contrast to the haughty Louisa Ulrika. Fredrick V of Denmark was also eager tocomplete the match: \"His Danish Majesty could not have the interests of his daughter sacrificed because of the prejudices and whims of the Swedish Queen\". In1764 Crown Prince Gustav, who was at this point eager to free himself from his mother and form his own household, used the public opinion to state to hismother that he wished to honor the engagement, and on 3 April 1766, the engagement was officially celebrated.When a portrait of Sophia Magdalena wasdisplayed in Stockholm, Louisa Ulrika commented: \"why Gustav, you seem to be already in love with her! She looks stupid\", after which she turned to PrinceCharles and added: \"She would suit you better!\"Crown PrincessOn 1 October 1766, Sophia Magdalena was married to Gustav by proxy at Christiansborg Palace inCopenhagen with her brother Frederick, Hereditary Prince of Denmark, as representative of her groom. She traveled in the royal golden sloop from Kronborg inDenmark over Öresund to Hälsingborg in Sweden; when she was halfway, the Danish cannon salute ended, and the Swedish started to fire. In Helsingborg, shewas welcomed by her brother-in-law Prince Charles of Hesse, who had crossed the sea shortly before her, the Danish envoy in Stockholm, Baron Schack, as wellas Crown Prince Gustav himself. As she was about to set foot on ground, Gustav was afraid that she would fall, and he therefore reached her his hand with thewords: \"Watch out, Madame!\", a reply which quickly became a topic of gossip at the Swedish court.The couple then traveled by land toward Stockholm, beingcelebrated on the way. She met her father-in-law the King and her brothers-in-law at Stäket Manor on 27 October, and she continued to be well-treated and likedby them all during her life in Sweden. Thereafter, she met her mother-in-law the Queen and her sister-in-law at Säby Manor, and on the 28th, she was formallypresented for the Swedish royal court at Drottningholm Palace. At this occasion, Countess Ebba Bonde noted that the impression about her was: \"By God, howbeautiful she is!\", but that her appearance was affected by the fact that she had a: \"terrible fear of the Queen\". On 4 November 1766, she was officially welcomedto the capital of Stockholm, where she was married to Gustav in person in the Royal Chapel at Stockholm Royal Palace.Sophia Magdalena initially made a goodimpression upon the Swedish nobility with her beauty, elegance and skillful dance; but her shy, silent, and reserved nature soon made her a disappointment inthe society life. Being of a reserved nature, she was considered cold and arrogant. Her mother-in-law Queen Louisa Ulrika, who once stated that she couldcomprehend nothing more humiliating than the position of a Queen Dowager, harassed her in many ways: a typical example was when she invited Gustav to herbirthday celebrations, but asked him to make Sophia Magdalena excuse herself by pretending to be too ill to attend. Louisa Ulrika encouraged a distance between"} +{"doc_id":"doc_117","qid":"","text":"Passage 1:Charles James Irwin Grant, 6th Baron de LongueuilCharles James Irwin Grant, only son of Charles William Grant, 5th Baron de Longueuil and CarolineCoffin, was born in Montreal on 1 April 1815.

In the 1950s and 1960s, he was a part of the10th Street galleries scene. For twelve years, he studied plastics under the tutelage of Hans Hofmann in New York and Provincetown. Hofmann showed him theimportance of objects moved out from the canvas and resolved back into it. This type of painting that deals with multiple rhythms, colors, and angles, offersviewers a higher-dimensional experience. Billmyer has created patterns in and out of divided planes that go in independent directions before receding back intothe canvas, which is his unique adaption of Hofmann’s methods.

Asa result of his involvement in the power struggles which led up to the fall of King Richard II, he was banished and died in exile in Venice.Background and youthTheMowbrays were an old family in the English peerage, having been first raised to the baronage in 1295. Several advantageous marriages, combined with loyalservice to the crown and rewards from it made them, by the late 14th century, a great political standing. Thomas was the son of John de Mowbray, 4th BaronMowbray and his wife Elizabeth Segrave, the daughter and heiress of John Segrave, 4th Baron Segrave by his wife Margaret, Duchess of Norfolk, daughter andheiress of Thomas of Brotherton, 1st Earl of Norfolk, the fifth son of King Edward I.Thomas Mowbray was born in 1366; the precise date is unknown. He wasprobably named after the cult of St Thomas Becket, of which his mother was a follower. His elder brother John was their father's heir; he died in 1368. Four yearslater, they became the ward of their great-aunt, Blanche of Lancaster. John was created Earl of Nottingham on the coronation of King Richard II in 1377, but diedin early 1383. Almost immediately—within a few days—the earldom was re-granted to Thomas, and even though he was still legally a minor, he was allowedseisin of his patrimony and the comital penny.Political backgroundRichard II succeeded to the throne in 1377 on the death of his grandfather, Edward III, but hisunpopularity had been growing since Richard's suppression of the Peasants' Revolt in 1381. He was increasingly criticised for his patronage of a few select royalfavourites, to an extent that has been described as \"lavish to the point of foolishness\" by a biographer, historian Anthony Tuck. Parliament was also coming to theview that the King needed to rule as economically as possible, and they observed with displeasure the King's distribution of extravagant patronage to a limitedcircle, the greatest recipient of which was Michael de la Pole, Earl of Suffolk. Furthermore, the Hundred Years' War was going poorly for England. Severalexpeditions had left for France in the early years of Richard's reign to defend English territory, but they were almost all military and political failures.As a secondson, little is recorded of Mowbray's youth, although his background and status \"virtually guaranteed him a place at court\", says Saul. The King and Mowbray hadprobably been childhood friends, and was a royal favourite from at least 1382, when he was granted hunting rights in certain royal forests and was knighted. Itwas around this time that Bolingbroke began to fall out of favour with the King, with Mowbray supplanting him. Mowbray also married the ten-year-old LadyElizabeth Lestrange, heiress of John, Lord Blakemere, whose marriage cost the King around £1000. Elizabeth died in 1383, not long after the wedding.Career to1390Mowbray remained high in royal favour following the death of his wife, and he was elected to the Order of the Garter in October the same year, even thoughhe was militarily unproven. The King granted him grace and favour rooms at the royal palaces of Eltham and Kings Langley. Reflecting his role as an importantcourtier, Mowbray accompanied Richard on his tour of East Anglia in 1383. His closeness to the King drew the opprobrium of the King's uncle, John of Gaunt,Duke of Lancaster—probably the most powerful man in the Kingdom after the King—upon him. Gaunt accused Mowbray, along with Robert, Earl of Oxford andWilliam, Earl of Salisbury of plotting against the King. Gaunt himself was becoming increasingly unpopular and had withdrawn from the council. As a result, saysthe chronicler Thomas Walsingham, Mowbray, de Vere and Montacute plotted to kill the duke in February 1385. The King held jousts between the 13th and 14thof the month, and Gaunt's murder was to be committed on the 14th; it is possible that Richard did not disapprove, such had relations between him and his unclebroken down. Originally, this had been over foreign policy; Gaunt favoured a restoration of the war with France, while Richard was keen to invade Scotland Gaunthad also recently told Richard that he viewed the King's advisors as \"unsavoury\", and Mowbray and his friends deliberately exacerbated the two men'santagonism by proffering a series of accusations against the duke. Gaunt received a forewarning of the attack, however, and fled in the night.On 30 June1385—as the royal army was about to leave for Scotland—Mowbray received his great-grandfather's office of Marshal of England, although he could not haveforeseen this eventuality as at the time the campaign was announced the marshalcy was possessed by the Earl of Kent. Mowbray led a force of 99 men-at-armsand 150 archers, serving with Gaunt in the vanguard. Mowbray helped draw up the King's ordinances for the campaign when the royal army reached Durham,although by now, suggests Given-Wilson, Mowbray's relations with Richard \"may have been cooling\". Less than a year after his first wife's death, Mowbraymarried Elizabeth Fitzalan. Elizabeth was a daughter of Richard, Earl of Arundel, and, although the King attended their wedding and the week-long festivitiesaccompanying it, it is unlikely that the marriage was popular with Richard. His second marriage must have been a turning point. Richard doubtless saw Arundel asa negative influence on Mowbray and feared the strengthening of the earl's position against him. Mowbray and Elizabeth had also wed without his permission, andso the King distrained Mowbray's estates until he had received the value of the license. Tuck argues, in fact, that \"nor was the king's concern unfounded\";Mowbray had been increasingly isolated at court by the King's latest favourites, such as Oxford, and had moved into the circle of those who opposed the newroyal intimates, perhaps seeing them as the best way to dispose of his rival. This circle also included not only Richard's father-in-law but his uncle, Thomas, Dukeof Gloucester. In a sign that Mowbray was not completely out of favour, Elizabeth received her robes as a Lady of the Garter in 1386.Both men had played animportant role in parliament's attack on Richard's chancellor, Michael de la Pole, Earl of Suffolk at the Wonderful Parliament of 1386. The Wonderful Parliamenthad taken place against a backdrop of genuine fear of a French invasion—Walsingham described how Londoners, in his view, like \"timid mice they scurried hitherand thither—and Arundel had been appointed Admiral of England. In March the following year he, in turn, appointed Mowbray his deputy, and they took a fleetout of Margate and encountered a French-Flemish fleet almost immediately. The result was its crushing defeat. Between 50 and 100 French-Flemish ships werecaptured or destroyed. The King was unimpressed. When Arundel and Mowbray returned to court, Richard coolly claimed they had only defeated merchants, andOxford turned his back on the earls.AppellantFor most of the 1380s, Mowbray received what he doubtless considered his due from the King, in lands, offices andgrants. But by 1387 he became increasingly estranged from Richard's court. The main reason for this was probably jealousy of de Vere. While he was wealthyenough not to have to rely on royal favour, as de Vere did, he expected the honour and dignity that his birth and status demanded. This he saw increasinglysyphoned off to his rival. Although the Wonderful Parliament had set up a commission to effectively restrain the King, it failed so to do. Richard emasculated thecommission by leaving London straight away, and not only ignored its deliberations but his own councils in the provinces. He also took legal advice from hisjudges who, unsurprisingly, found in his favour that those responsible for parliament's treatment of the King should be deemed traitors. In response, Mowbrayjoined Bolingbroke, Gloucester, Arundel and Warwick in appealing several of the King's friends, including Oxford, of treason, and raised an army at Hornsey, northof London. The Appellants' army engaged Oxford's at the Battle of Radcot Bridge, inflicting a crushing defeat on the royalists in December. Mowbray did not takepart, as he was guarding the road back to the West Midlandsl at Moreton in Marsh, although he may have sent a portion of his retinue to the Appellantarmy.Mowbray appears to have been responsible for dissuading Gloucester, Arundel and Warwick from marching to London and deposing the King. Indeed, heand Bolingbroke may have been a moderating influence on the others. Converseley, due to his position as Earl Marshal—one of the two heads of the Court ofChivalry—his presence with the Appellants enabled them to frame their offensive juridically rather than as a traditional noble rebellion. He was one of the groupthat attended Richard in the Tower of London—with arms linked—on 30 December and accused the King of treachery towards them. They also demanded Richardorder the arrest of the appellees; Walsingham reports that he only agreed to do so on being threatened, once again, with deposition. The King attempted to divideMowbray from his colleagues, asking him to stay behind when the others were ready to leave. With the King now under their control, Mowbray and theAppellants called parliament for early 1388. This session became known as the Merciless Parliament on account of the vengeance it laid on the King's closestsupporters. with Mowbray overseeing the executions with \"the aid and authority of the mayor, sheriffs, and aldermen of London\". Mowbray was to take thecondemned to the Tower and \"‘from there drag him through the city of London as far as the gallows at Tyburn, and there hang him by the neck\".Rapprochmentwith the KingFor his part, there are signs that Mowbray was becoming dissatisfied with his comrades through the course of the parliament, which Tuck suggestswas because Mowbray was \"never as committed to the destruction of the court faction as Gloucester, Arundel, and Warwick\". Given-Wilson suggests thatincluding Mowbray by the Appellants broadened their base among the nobility, by virtue of his having had less acrimonious relations with the King, but alsoweakened them as a body by diluting their grievances. As indicated by Mowbray's dispute with Warwick over the Gower lordship, they were already \"shot throughwith personal and political differences\" as it was. Tuck suggests that, while Mowbray seems able to have stomached the convictions of the others, \"the real riftoccurred over the question of Sir Simon Burley's fate\".

He was the youngest son of Erard II of Brienne, a wealthy nobleman in Champagne. John,originally destined for an ecclesiastical career, became a knight and owned small estates in Champagne around 1200. After the death of his brother, Walter III, heruled the County of Brienne on behalf of his minor nephew Walter IV (who lived in southern Italy).The barons of the Kingdom of Jerusalem proposed that Johnmarry their queen, Maria. With the consent of Philip II of France and Pope Innocent III, he left France for the Holy Land and married the queen; the couple werecrowned in 1210. After Maria's death in 1212 John administered the kingdom as regent for their infant daughter Isabella II; an influential lord, John of Ibelin,attempted to depose him. John was a leader of the Fifth Crusade. Although his claim of supreme command of the crusader army was never unanimouslyacknowledged, his right to rule Damietta (in Egypt) was confirmed shortly after the city fell to the crusaders in 1219. He claimed the Armenian Kingdom of Ciliciaon behalf of his second wife, Stephanie, in 1220. After Stephanie and their infant son died that year, John returned to Egypt. The Fifth Crusade ended in failure(including the recovery of Damietta by the Egyptians) in 1221.John was the first king of Jerusalem to visit Europe (Italy, France, England, León, Castile andGermany) to seek assistance for the Holy Land. He gave his daughter in marriage to Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II in 1225, and Frederick ended John's rule ofthe Kingdom of Jerusalem. Although the popes tried to persuade Frederick to restore the kingdom to John, the Jerusalemite barons regarded Frederick as theirlawful ruler. John administered papal domains in Tuscany, became the podestà of Perugia and was a commander of Pope Gregory IX's army during Gregory's waragainst Frederick in 1228 and 1229.He was elected emperor in 1229 as the senior co-ruler (with Baldwin II) of the Latin Empire, and was crowned inConstantinople in 1231. John III Vatatzes, Emperor of Nicaea, and Ivan Asen II of Bulgaria occupied the last Latin territories in Thrace and Asia Minor, besiegingConstantinople in early 1235. John directed the defence of his capital during the months-long siege, with the besiegers withdrawing only after Geoffrey II ofAchaea and united fleets from Italian towns defeated their fleet in 1236. The following year, John died as a Franciscan friar.Early lifeJohn was the youngest of thefour sons of Count Erard II of Brienne and Agnes of Montfaucon. He seemed \"exceedingly old ... about 80\" to the 14-year-old George Akropolites in 1231; ifAkropolites' estimate was correct, John was born around 1150. However, no other 13th-century authors described John as an old man. His father referred toJohn's brothers as \"children\" in 1177 and mentioned the tutor of John's oldest brother, Walter III, in 1184; this suggests that John's brothers were born in thelate 1160s. Modern historians agree that John was born after 1168, probably during the 1170s.Although his father destined John for a clerical career, according tothe late-13th-century Tales of the Minstrel of Reims he \"was unwilling\". Instead, the minstrel continued, John fled to his maternal uncle at the Clairvaux Abbey.Encouraged by his fellows, he became a knight and earned a reputation in tournaments and fights. Although elements of the Tales of the Minstrel of Reims areapparently invented (for instance, John did not have a maternal uncle in Clairvaux), historian Guy Perry wrote that it may have preserved details of John's life. Achurch career was not unusual for youngest sons of 12th-century noblemen in France; however, if his father sent John to a monastery he left before reaching theage of taking monastic vows. John \"clearly developed the physique that was necessary to fight well\" in his youth, because the 13th-century sources Akropolitesand Salimbene di Adam emphasize his physical strength.Erard II joined the Third Crusade and died in the Holy Land in 1191. His oldest son, Walter III, succeededhim in Brienne. John was first mentioned in an 1192 (or 1194) charter issued by his brother, indicating that he was a prominent figure in Walter's court. Accordingto a version of Ernoul's chronicle, John participated in a war against Peter II of Courtenay. Although the Tales of the Minstrel of Reims claimed that he was called\"John Lackland\", according to contemporary charters John held Jessains, Onjon, Trannes and two other villages in the County of Champagne around 1200. In1201, Theobald III granted him additional estates in Mâcon, Longsols and elsewhere. Theobald's widow, Blanche of Navarre, persuaded John to sell his estate atMâcon, saying that it was her dower.Walter III of Brienne died in June 1205 while fighting in southern Italy. His widow, Elvira of Sicily, gave birth to aposthumous son, Walter IV, who grew up in Italy. John assumed the title of count of Brienne, and began administering the county on his nephew's behalf in 1205or 1206. As a leading vassal of the count of Champagne, John frequented the court of Blanche of Navarre, who ruled Champagne during the minority of her son,Theobald IV. According to a version of Ernoul's chronicle, she loved John \"more than any man in the world\"; this annoyed King Philip II of France.The two versionsof Ernoul's chronicle tell different stories about John's ascent to the throne of Jerusalem. According to one version, the leading lords of Jerusalem sent envoys toFrance in 1208 asking Philip II to select a French nobleman as a husband for their queen, Maria. Taking advantage of the opportunity to rid himself of John, PhilipII suggested him. In the other version an unnamed knight encouraged the Jerusalemite lords to select John, who accepted their offer with Philip's consent. Johnvisited Pope Innocent III in Rome. The pope donated 40,000 marks for the defence of the Holy Land, stipulating that John could spend the money only with theconsent of the Latin patriarch of Jerusalem and the grand masters of the Knights Templar and the Knights Hospitaller.King of JerusalemCo-rulerJohn landed atAcre on 13 September 1210; the following day, Patriarch of Jerusalem Albert of Vercelli married him to Queen Maria. John and Maria were crowned in theCathedral of Tyre on 3 October. The truce concluded by Maria's predecessor Aimery and the Ayyubid sultan Al-Adil I had ended by John's arrival. Although Al-Adilwas willing to renew it, Jerusalemite lords did not want to sign a new treaty without John's consent. During John and Maria's coronation, Al-Adil's son Al-Mu'azzamIsa pillaged the area around Acre but did not attack the city. After returning to Acre, John raided nearby Muslim settlements in retaliation.Although about 300French knights accompanied him to the Holy Land, no influential noblemen joined him; they preferred participating in the French Albigensian Crusade or did notsee him as sufficiently eminent. John's cousin, Walter of Montbéliard, joined him only after he was expelled from Cyprus. Montbéliard led a naval expedition toEgypt to plunder the Nile Delta. After most of the French crusaders left the Holy Land, John forged a new truce with Al-Adil by the middle of 1211 and sent envoysto Pope Innocent urging him to preach a new crusade.ConflictsMaria died shortly after giving birth to their daughter, Isabella, in late 1212.

In October 2010 he becamethe ninth Director of the Toledo Museum of Art. On 1 July 2019, he succeeded Dan Monroe as the executive director and CEO of the Peabody Essex Museum.Earlylife and career in IrelandKennedy was born in Dublin and attended Clonkeen College. He received B.A. (1982), M.A. (1985) and PhD (1989) degrees fromUniversity College-Dublin, where he studied both art history and history.He worked in the Irish Department of Education (1982), the European Commission,Brussels (1983), and in Ireland at the Chester Beatty Library (1983–85), Government Publications Office (1985–86), and Department of Finance (1986–89). Hemarried Mary Fiona Carlin in 1988.He was Assistant Director at the National Gallery of Ireland in Dublin from 1989 to 1997. He was Chair of the Irish Associationof Art Historians from 1996 to 1997, and of the Council of Australian Art Museum Directors from 2001 to 2003. In September 1997 he became Director of theNational Gallery of Australia.National Gallery of Australia (NGA)Kennedy expanded the traveling exhibitions and loans program throughout Australia, arranged forseveral major shows of Australian art abroad, increased the number of exhibitions at the museum itself and oversaw the development of an extensivemulti-media site. Although he oversaw several years of the museum's highest ever annual visitation, he discontinued the emphasis of his predecessor, BettyChurcher, on showing \"blockbuster\" exhibitions.During his directorship, the NGA gained government support for improving the building and significant privatedonations and corporate sponsorship. However, the initial design for the building proved controversial generating a public dispute with the original architect onmoral rights grounds. As a result, the project was not delivered during Dr Kennedy's tenure, with a significantly altered design completed some yearslater. Private funding supported two acquisitions of British art, including David Hockney's A Bigger Grand Canyon in 1999, and Lucian Freud's After Cézanne in2001. Kennedy built on the established collections at the museum by acquiring the Holmgren-Spertus collection of Indonesian textiles; the Kenneth Tylercollection of editioned prints, screens, multiples and unique proofs; and the Australian Print Workshop Archive. He was also notable for campaigning for theconstruction of a new \"front\" entrance to the Gallery, facing King Edward Terrace, which was completed in 2010 (see reference to the building projectabove).Kennedy's cancellation of the \"Sensation exhibition\" (scheduled at the NGA from 2 June 2000 to 13 August 2000) was controversial, and seen by some ascensorship. He claimed that the decision was due to the exhibition being \"too close to the market\" implying that a national cultural institution cannot exhibit theprivate collection of a speculative art investor. However, there were other exhibitions at the NGA during his tenure, which could have raised similar concerns. Theexhibition featured the privately owned Young British Artists works belonging to Charles Saatchi and attracted large attendances in London and Brooklyn. Its mostcontroversial work was Chris Ofili's The Holy Virgin Mary, a painting which used elephant dung and was accused of being blasphemous. The then-mayor of NewYork, Rudolph Giuliani, campaigned against the exhibition, claiming it was \"Catholic-bashing\" and an \"aggressive, vicious, disgusting attack on religion.\" InNovember 1999, Kennedy cancelled the exhibition and stated that the events in New York had \"obscured discussion of the artistic merit of the works of art\". Hehas said that it \"was the toughest decision of my professional life, so far.\"Kennedy was also repeatedly questioned on his management of a range of issues duringthe Australian Government's Senate Estimates process - particularly on the NGA's occupational health and safety record and concerns about the NGA'stwenty-year-old air-conditioning system. The air-conditioning was finally renovated in 2003. Kennedy announced in 2002 that he would not seek extension of hiscontract beyond 2004, accepting a seven-year term as had his two predecessors.He became a joint Irish-Australian citizen in 2003.Toledo Museum of ArtTheToledo Museum of Art is known for its exceptional collections of European and American paintings and sculpture, glass, antiquities, artist books, Japanese printsand netsuke. The museum offers free admission and is recognized for its historical leadership in the field of art education. During his tenure, Kennedy hasfocused the museum's art education efforts on visual literacy, which he defines as \"learning to read, understand and write visual language.\" Initiatives haveincluded baby and toddler tours, specialized training for all staff, docents, volunteers and the launch of a website, www.vislit.org. In November 2014, the museumhosted the International Visual Literacy Association (IVLA) conference, the first Museum to do so. Kennedy has been a frequent speaker on the topic, including2010 and 2013 TEDx talks on visual and sensory literacy.Kennedy has expressed an interest in expanding the museum's collection of contemporary art and art byindigenous peoples. Works by Frank Stella, Sean Scully, Jaume Plensa, Ravinder Reddy and Mary Sibande have been acquired. In addition, the museum hasmade major acquisitions of Old Master paintings by Frans Hals and Luca Giordano.During his tenure the Toledo Museum of Art has announced the return ofseveral objects from its collection due to claims the objects were stolen and/or illegally exported prior being sold to the museum.

Starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Nick Stahl, Claire Danes, and Kristanna Loken, it is the third installment in the Terminator franchise and a sequel to Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991). In its plot, the malevolent artificial intelligence Skynet sends a T-X (Loken)—a highly advanced Terminator—back in time to ensure the rise of machines by killing top members of the future human resistance as John Connor's (Stahl) location is unknown. The resistance sends back a reprogrammed T-850 (Schwarzenegger) to protect John and his future wife, Kate (Danes).While Terminator creator James Cameron was interested in directing the third film, he ultimately had no involvement with Terminator 3. Andrew G. Vajna and Mario Kassar, who had produced Terminator 2: Judgment Day through their company Carolco Pictures, obtained the rights for the franchise through both Carolco's liquidation auction and negotiations with producer Gale Ann Hurd. In 1999, Tedi Sarafian was hired to write the first draft of the script. Mostow joined the project as director in 2001, and he brought on John Brancato and Michael Ferris to rewrite Sarafian's script. The $187 million budget included a $5 million salary for Mostow and a record $30 million salary for Schwarzenegger. Filming took place in California from April to September 2002. Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) and Stan Winston created the special effects, as they did for the previous film.Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines premiered in Westwood, Los Angeles, on June 30, 2003, and was released on July 2, 2003, by Warner Bros. Pictures in the United States and by Columbia TriStar Film Distributors International in worldwide territories. It received generally positive reviews and earned $433.4 million worldwide, finishing its theatrical run as the seventh-highest-grossing film of 2003. A sequel, Terminator Salvation, was released in 2009.PlotTen years after destroying Cyberdyne Systems, John Connor has been living as a nomad following the death of his mother, Sarah, to hide from the malevolent artificial intelligence Skynet, despite a war between humans and machines not happening in 1997, as foretold. Unable to locate John in the past, Skynet sends the T-X, an advanced prototype Terminator made of virtually impervious shapeshifting liquid metal covering a metal endoskeleton, back in time to John's present in Los Angeles, to instead kill his future allies in the human resistance. The human resistance sends back a reprogrammed T-850 Terminator, a less-advanced model covered in living flesh, to protect John and his future wife Kate Brewster.After killing other targets, the T-X locates the pair at an animal hospital where Kate works. John becomes the T-X's primary target, but the Terminator helps him and Kate escape, taking them to a mausoleum where John's mother is supposedly interred. Inside her vault, they find a weapons cache left at Sarah's request in case Judgment Day was not averted and the Terminators returned. They escape from an armed battle with the police and fend off the pursuing T-X. The Terminator reveals that John and Sarah's actions only delayed Judgment Day and that Skynet's attack will occur that day; the Terminator intends to drive John and Kate to Mexico to escape the fallout when Skynet begins its nuclear attack at 6:18 p.m. John orders the Terminator to take Kate and him to see her father, U.S. Air Force Lieutenant General Robert Brewster. The Terminator refuses, however when Kate also demands to see her father, the Terminator obeys. It is revealed that in the future, the Terminator killed John, after which Kate captured and reprogrammed the Terminator and sent it back in time.Meanwhile, General Brewster is supervising the development of Skynet for Cyber Research Systems (CRS), which also develops autonomous weapons. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff pressures him to activate Skynet to stop an anomalous computer virus from invading servers worldwide. General Brewster fails to discover that the virus was Skynet becoming sentient, and John and Kate arrive too late to stop him from activating it. The T-X fatally injures General Brewster and controls the CRS weaponized drones, which kill the employees. Before he dies, the general gives Kate and John the location of what John believes is Skynet's system core. The pair head for the tarmac to take General Brewster's single-engine plane to Crystal Peak, a facility built inside the Sierra Nevada. After a battle, the T-X severely damages the Terminator, reprogramming it to kill John, and pursues John and Kate through the CRS facility. When a particle accelerator is activated, it magnetically binds the T-X to the equipment. The still-conscious Terminator struggles to control its outer functions. As it prepares to kill John, he urges the Terminator to choose between its conflicting programming; it deliberately forces a shutdown of its corrupted system, enabling the pair's escape. Shortly after they leave, the Terminator's system reboots. Meanwhile, the T-X escapes the accelerator and resumes pursuit.After John and Kate reach Crystal Peak, the T-X arrives by helicopter. Before it can attack, the Terminator arrives in a second helicopter and crashes into and crushes the T-X. The T-X pulls itself from the wreckage, losing its legs, and attempts to drag itself inside the bunker to follow the pair. The Terminator holds the bunker door open long enough for the pair to lock them inside then uses its last hydrogen fuel cell to destroy both itself and the T-X.John and Kate discover that Crystal Peak is not Skynet's core, but rather a nuclear fallout shelter and command facility for government and military officials. Having no core, Skynet has become a part of cyberspace after becoming self-aware. Judgment Day begins as Skynet fires nuclear missiles worldwide, starting a nuclear holocaust that kills billions. The pair begin receiving radio transmissions on the emergency equipment; John tentatively assumes command by answering radio calls, and they reluctantly accept their fate.CastArnold Schwarzenegger as the Terminator.Nick Stahl as John Connor. Stahl replaces Edward Furlong from the second film.Kristanna Loken as the T-X, an advanced Terminator sent back to murder John's resistance lieutenantsClaire Danes as Kate Brewster, John's former classmate and Scott's fiancé.David Andrews as Lieutenant General Robert Brewster, Kate's father who is also the program director at CRS, which has acquired Cyberdyne Systems' remaining assetsMark Famiglietti as Scott Mason, Kate's fiancé who is killed by the T-X. The character was originally named Scott Peterson, but the name was changed in order to avoid association with the case involving the murder of Laci Peterson and her unborn son Conner by her husband Scott Peterson. In the ending credits his name is still listed as \"Scott Petersen\".Earl Boen as Dr. Peter Silberman: Reprising his role from the first two films, Boen appears in one scene, attempting to comfort Kate after she witnesses the acts of the Terminator.Jay Acovone portrayed an LAPD Officer. Kim Robillard and Mark Hicks portrayed Detective Edwards and Detective Bell. In the film's dialogue Bell is identified correctly, however in the film's end credits his name is listed as \"Detective Martinez\". One of Schwarzenegger's stunt doubles, Billy D. Lucas, portrayed a civilian who has his car accidentally wrecked by John.ProductionConceptionJames Cameron had directed and co-written the previous Terminator films. The film rights to the franchise were held by Carolco Pictures and by Cameron's ex-wife and Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) executive producer Gale Anne Hurd, who both held 50 percent of the rights. Cameron had sold his stake to Hurd for $1 prior to directing The Terminator (1984). In July 1991, Cameron said that if Terminator 2 was successful, \"there may be some economic pressure\" to do a sequel. Hurd said that month, \"I've always felt the story lent itself wonderfully to being a continuing tale.\" She believed it was natural that a third film would happen, but was unsure at that time if Arnold Schwarzenegger would reprise his role as the Terminator. Hurd said that for Schwarzenegger to commit to another film, he would have to read a finished script, approve a director, and see if the project fit into his schedule.Following Terminator 2's release, Cameron said he had no intentions for further sequels, believing it \"brings the story full circle and ends. And I think ending it at this point is a good idea,\" and co-writer William Wisher said they wrote the script intending to leave no option for a sequel. Even so, Carolco Pictures co-founder Mario Kassar said in May 1992 that he intended to make a Terminator 3 film within the next five to seven years. TriStar, which distributed Terminator 2, would be involved in the new film. That month, TriStar chief Mike Medavoy said the film would probably take a couple of years.DevelopmentBy the end of 1995, Carolco had filed for bankruptcy, and Cameron wanted to direct a third film with the involvement of 20th Century Fox. Cameron's 3D film ride, Terminator 2 3-D: Battle Across Time, would open later in 1996. The project reunited the main cast of Terminator 2: Judgment Day, and had prompted Cameron to begin writing a script for a Terminator 3 film. Cameron said Terminator 2 3D: Battle Across Time would serve as a \"stepping stone\" toward a third Terminator film.

He was a son of Malik-Shah I (r. 1072–1092) and Taj al-Din Khatun Safariya. In Turkish, Tapar means \"he who obtains,finds\".ReignMuhammad was born in January 1082. He succeeded his nephew, Malik Shah II, as Seljuq Sultan in Baghdad, and thus was theoretically the head ofthe dynasty, although his brother Ahmad Sanjar in Khorasan held more practical power. Muhammad I probably allied himself with Radwan of Aleppo in the battleof the Khabur River against Kilij Arslan I, the sultan of Rüm, in 1107, in which the latter was defeated and killed. Following the internecine conflict with his halfbrother, Barkiyaruq, he was given the title of malik and the provinces of Armenia and Azerbaijan. Dissatisfied by this he revolted again, but had to flee back toArmenia. By 1104, Barkiyaruq, ill and tired of war, agreed to divide the sultanate with Muhammad. Muhammad became sole sultan following the death ofBarkiyaruq in 1105.In 1106, Muhammad conquered the Ismaili fortress of Shahdiz, and ordered the Bavandid ruler Shahriyar IV to participate in his campaignagainst the Ismailis. Shahriyar, greatly angered by the message Muhammad sent him, refused to aid him against the Ismailis. Shortly after, Muhammad sent anarmy headed by Amir Chavli, who tried to capture Sari but was unexpectedly defeated by an army under Shahriyar and his son Qarin III. Muhammad then sent aletter, which requested Shahriyar to send one of his sons to the Seljuq court in Isfahan. He sent his son Ali I, who impressed Muhammad so much that he offeredhim his daughter in marriage, but Ali refused and told him to grant the honor to his brother and heir of the Bavand dynasty, Qarin III. Qarin III then went to theIsfahan court and married her.In 1106/1107, Ahmad ibn Nizam al-Mulk, the son of the famous vizier Nizam al-Mulk, went to the court of Muhammad I to file acomplaint against the rais (head) of Hamadan. When Ahmad arrived to the court, Muhammad I appointed him as his vizier, replacing Sa'd al-Mulk Abu'l-MahasenAbi, who had been recently executed on suspicion of heresy. The appointment was due mainly to the reputation of Ahmad's father. He was then given varioustitles which his father held (Qewam al-din, Sadr al-Islam and Nizam al-Mulk).Muhammad I, along with his vizier Ahmad, later campaigned in Iraq, where theydefeated and killed the Mazyadid ruler Sayf al-dawla Sadaqa ibn Mansur, who bore the title \"king of the Arabs\". In 1109, Muhammad I sent Ahmad and ChavliSaqavu to capture the Ismaili fortresses of Alamut and Ostavand, but they failed to achieve any decisive result and withdrew. Ahmad was shortly replaced byKhatir al-Mulk Abu Mansur Maybudi as vizier of the Sejluq Empire. According to Ali ibn al-Athir (a historian who lived about a hundred years later), Ahmad thenretired to a private life in Baghdad, but, according to the contemporary biographer, Anushirvan ibn Khalid, Muhammad I had Ahmad imprisoned for tenyears.Muhammad I died in 1118 and was succeeded by Mahmud II, although after Muhammad I's death Sanjar was clearly the chief power in the Seljuqrealms.FamilyOne of Muhammad's wives was Gawhar Khatun, the daughter of Isma'il, son of Yaquti. Another wife was Qutlugh Khatun. Another wife wasNistandar Jahan Khatun. She was the mother of Sultan Ghiyath ad-Din Mas'ud and Fatimah Khatun. After Muhammad's death Mengubars, the governor of Iraq,married her. Their daughter Fatimah married Abbasid Caliph Al-Muqtafi in 1137, and died in September 1147. Another of his daughters married Arslan Shah, sonof Kirman Shah, and the grandson of Qavurt.Legacy and assessmentMuhammad was the last Seljuk ruler to have strong authority in the western part of thesultanate. The Seljuk realm was in a dire state after Muhammad's death, according to bureaucrat and writer Anushirvan ibn Khalid (died in 1137/1139); \"InMuhammad's reign the kingdom was united and secure from all envious attacks; but when it passed to his son Mahmud, they split up that unity and destroyed itscohesion. They claimed a share with him in the power and left him only a bare subsistence.\" Muhammad is mainly portrayed in a positive light by contemporaryhistorians. According to the historian Imad ad-Din al-Isfahani (died in 1201), Muhammad was \"the perfect man of the Seljuk dynasty and their strongeststeed\".Muhammad's ceaseless campaigns inspired one of his poets, Iranshah, to compose the Persian epic poem of Bahman-nama, an Iranian mythological storyabout the constant battles between Kay Bahman and Rostam's family. This implies that the work was also written to serve as advice for solving the socio-politicalissues of the time.Passage 4:Faiz MuhammadFaiz Muhammad (23 September 1937 – 29 October 2014) was a Pakistani freestyle wrestler. He was from 5 AK regt(HAIDER DIL BN). During his time, he was one of the National Champions and Army Champions of Pakistan.Early life and careerMuhammad was born in 1937 inthe Kandi (Rajauri district area of Jammu and Kashmir) and migrated to Azad Kashmir after the partition of British India in 1947. His family settled Iin Khanpurvillage, present day Kotli District of Azad Kashmir. In June 1953, he was enlisted at training center number 3 of Azad Kashmir Regular Forces at Sohawa town (avillage at that time). He had his first success in wrestling by winning the Pakistan Army Training Centres Wrestling Championship, an army-level competition.

Ekaterína I Alekséyevna Mikháylova; born Polish: Marta Helena Skowrońska, Russian: Ма́рта Самуи́ловна Скавро́нская, tr. MártaSamuílovna Skavrónskaya; 15 April [O.S. 5 April] 1684 – 17 May [O.S. 6 May] 1727) was the second wife and empress consort of Peter the Great, and empressregnant of Russia from 1725 until her death in 1727.Life as a servantThe life of Catherine I was said by Voltaire to be nearly as extraordinary as that of Peter theGreat himself. Only uncertain and contradictory information is available about her early life. Said to have been born on 15 April 1684 (o.s. 5 April), she wasoriginally named Marta Helena Skowrońska. Marta was the daughter of Samuel Skowroński (later spelled Samuil Skavronsky), a Roman Catholic farmer from theeastern parts of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, born to Minsker parents. In 1680 he married Dorothea Hahn at Jakobstadt. Her mother is named in atleast one source as Elizabeth Moritz, the daughter of a Baltic German woman and there is debate as to whether Moritz's father was a Swedish officer. It is likelythat two stories were conflated, and Swedish sources suggest that the Elizabeth Moritz story is probably incorrect. Some biographies state that Marta's father wasa gravedigger and handyman, while others speculate that he was a runaway landless serf.Marta's parents died of the plague around 1689, leaving five children.According to one of the popular versions, at the age of three Marta was taken by an aunt and sent to Marienburg (the present-day Alūksne in Latvia, near theborder with Estonia and Russia) where she was raised by Johann Ernst Glück, a Lutheran pastor and educator who was the first to translate the Bible into Latvian.In his household she served as a lowly servant, likely either a scullery maid or washerwoman. No effort was made to teach her to read and write and sheremained illiterate throughout her life.Marta was considered a very beautiful young girl, and there are accounts that Frau Glück became fearful that she wouldbecome involved with her son. At the age of seventeen, she was married off to a Swedish dragoon, Johan Cruse or Johann Rabbe, with whom she remained foreight days in 1702, at which point the Swedish troops were withdrawn from Marienburg. When Russian forces captured the town, Pastor Glück offered to work asa translator, and Field Marshal Boris Sheremetev agreed to his proposal and took him to Moscow.There are unsubstantiated stories that Marta worked briefly inthe laundry of the victorious regiment, and also that she was presented in her undergarments to Brigadier General Rudolph Felix Bauer, later the Governor ofEstonia, to be his mistress. She may have worked in the household of his superior, Sheremetev. It is not known whether she was his mistress, or householdmaid. She travelled back to the Russian court with Sheremetev's army.Afterwards she became part of the household of Prince Alexander Menshikov, who was thebest friend of Peter the Great of Russia. Anecdotal sources suggest that she was purchased by him. Whether the two of them were lovers is disputed, asMenshikov was already engaged to Darya Arsenyeva, his future wife. It is clear that Menshikov and Marta formed a lifetime alliance.It is possible that Menshikov,who was quite jealous of Peter's attentions and knew his tastes, wanted to procure a mistress on whom he could rely. In any case, in 1703, while visitingMenshikov at his home, Peter met Marta. In 1704, she was well established in the Tsar's household as his mistress, and gave birth to a son, Peter. In 1703, she"} +{"doc_id":"doc_125","qid":"","text":"Passage 1:A Place in the Sun (film)A Place in the Sun may refer to:A place in the sun, a phrase used to refer to the German Empire's foreign policy (Weltpolitik)and colonial empireFilm and televisionA Place in the Sun (1916 film), a British silent filmA Place in the Sun (1951 film), an American dramatic filmA Place in theSun (British TV series) (2000–present), a British Channel 4 lifestyle programme about buying property abroadA Place in the Sun (2012 film), a Swedish filmbased on the Liza Marklund novelA Place in the Sun (South Korean TV series), a 2019 South Korean television seriesMusicA Place in the Sun (Lit album), 1999APlace in the Sun (Pablo Cruise album), 1977A Place in the Sun (Tim McGraw album), 1999\"A Place in the Sun\" (Stevie Wonder song), 1966\"A Place in the Sun\"(Pablo Cruise song), 1977\"A Place in the Sun\", a 1983 song by the Marine Girls, from their Lazy Ways albumSee alsoEn plats i solen (disambiguation)\"A PlaceUnder the Sun\", a 1999 single by Miho NakayamaUm Lugar ao Sol, a 2021 Brazilian telenovelaUn Lugar al sol, a 1965 Argentine filmUn posto al sole, a 1996Italian soap operaPassage 2:Christian-Peter FrieseChristian-Peter Friese (August 5, 1948, Munich - December 25, 1970, East Berlin) was one of the victims at theBerlin Wall. Members of the Border Troops of the German Democratic Republic shot him while trying to escape from East Germany.BiographyHe was his mother'sonly child, and grew up with her in Naumburg. His father is unknown. After school, he trained as a car mechanic. In Naumburg he took a job at the DeutscheReichsbahn (East Germany).DeathOn the evening of December 24, 1970, he left his home and his mother without saying goodbye or leaving a message. Hewent to East Berlin by train. Once there he went to the allotment Vogelsang II in Treptow which was right on the border. He watched the border and climbedaround midnight on the interior fence. He triggered alarm by touching the subsequent signal fence. A total of five border guards opened fire on Christian-PeterFriese, who took cover in the vehicle barrier ditch. Shortly afterwards Friese began again to run in the direction of the last border fence. He was hit several timesin the legs and upper body. He succumbed to his injuries in the death strip. In the crime scene sketch of the files of the Stasi were recorded a total of 98 shots onChristian-Peter Friese.AftermathA senate speaker and the American City Commandant expressed their protest over the incident. The West-Berlin police initiatedan investigation.The mother of the deceased was informed on January 7, 1971, by members of the Stasi about the death. The legend was that Christian-PeterFriese was traveling by car into a tree. The body had been cremated. The urn was transferred one month later to Naumburg and buried there in the municipalcemetery, under the supervision of the Stasi.After the German reunification, the mother said to Naumburg police that her son revealed his intention of fleeing. Ina Mauerschützenprozess (process against guards of the wall who had shot) the border guards involved were acquitted because intent to kill could not beestablished, and because the court could not determine which of the defendants was responsible for the actual killing.See alsoList of deaths at the BerlinWallBerlin Crisis of 1961Passage 3:Chris GueffroyChris Gueffroy (21 June 1968 – 6 February 1989) was the last person to be shot and the second-last to die in anescape attempt while trying to escape from East Berlin to West Berlin across the Berlin Wall.BiographyChris Gueffroy was born in Pasewalk, BezirkNeubrandenburg (present-day Mecklenburg-Vorpommern) on 21 June 1968. He had an older brother, Stefan Gueffroy.He moved to Schwedt in 1970, the sameyear that his mother, Karin Gueffroy, and his father, Allois Gueffroy, divorced. Three years later, when he was five years old, he moved to Berlin with his motherand his brother. When he was in the third grade, he was sent to the youth sports school SC Dynamo Berlin, based on his gymnastic talent. After he finishedschool he refused to pursue an officer’s career track in the National People’s Army and was consequently denied the right to study at university, ending his dreamof becoming an actor or a pilot. In September 1985 he began an apprenticeship in the Schönefeld airport restaurant near Berlin after which he worked in anumber of different restaurants. As a waiter, his income was better than average, and he had a strong degree of freedom, but he was disgusted by thewidespread corruption in the restaurant business. His friend Christian Gaudian, whom he had met at gastronomy school, shared his feelings. At twenty, he foundit increasingly unbearable to think that he would remain locked up with the knowledge that it would always be this way and that he would never have the freedomto decide for himself where he wanted to live. In mid-January 1989, upon learning that he was to be conscripted into the East German army the following May, heand Gaudian decided to leave East Germany.DeathGueffroy and Gaudian based their decision to try to flee over the wall on mistaken beliefs that theSchießbefehl, the standing order to shoot anyone who attempted to cross the wall, had been lifted (it had not), and that the Swedish prime minister IngvarCarlsson was to pay a state visit to East Berlin (he had already left when they attempted their escape). Their attempted escape from East Berlin to West Berlin,along the Britz district canal would take place on the night of 5–6 February 1989, about two kilometres (1¼ miles) from what would be Gueffroy's last residenceon Südostallee 218, Johannisthal, Treptow, East Berlin. Climbing the last metal lattice fence, the two were discovered and came under fire from the NVA bordertroops. Gueffroy was hit in the chest by two shots and died in the border strip. Gaudian, badly but not fatally injured, was arrested and was sentenced on 24 May1989 to imprisonment of three years by the Pankow district court for attempted illegal border-crossing of the first degree (\"versuchten ungesetzlichenGrenzübertritts im schweren Fall\"). In September 1989 Gaudian was freed on bail by the East German government, and on 17 October 1989 he was transferredto West Berlin.Chris Gueffroy is often erroneously named as the last person to die in the attempt to cross the wall, but he was in fact only the last to be killedthrough the use of weapons, and the second-last to die in an escape attempt. Winfried Freudenberg died in the crash of an improvised balloon aircraft by whichhe crossed the border into West Berlin on 8 March 1989.AftermathAs compensation for her loss, the East German government allowed Karin Gueffroy to emigrateto West Berlin and visit Chris's grave in Baumschulenweg weekly, with the condition that she did not speak to western media about the incident. She would takeresidence in the West Berlin district of Moabit, on Oldenburger Straße 36.The four border guards involved at the time at first obtained an award(Leistungsabzeichen der Grenztruppen) from the chief of the Grenzkommandos Mitte border guards, Erich Wöllner, and a prize of 150 East German Marks each.However, after the reunification of East and West Germany, they were prosecuted by the Berlin regional court. Two of the former border guards, Mike Schmidt(now a millwright with two children), and Peter Schmett (now an electrician with three children), were acquitted and released in January 1992, because thepresiding judge, Theodor Seidel, ruled that they \"did not kill and did not intend to kill\". A third former border guard, Andreas Kuehnpast (now unemployed),received a suspended sentence of two years. The fourth former border guard, Ingo Heinrich (now an electronic engineer), who was responsible for the mortal shotin the heart, was at first sentenced to three and a half years of jail. On appeal, the Bundesgerichtshof (High Court of Justice) in 1994 reduced the penalty to asuspended sentence of two years.In 2000, two SED functionaries, Siegfried Lorenz and Hans-Joachim Böhme, were tried for the death of Gueffroy and two otheryoung men, but acquitted as the judge could find no evidence that they might have been able to lift the shoot-to-kill order. The case was retried on 7 August2004, and the two men were found guilty and given suspended sentences of 15 months each. The judge explained that the short sentences were due to thelength of time since the events. This was the last case concerning deaths on the inner German border.On 21 June 2003, which would have been his 35th birthday,a monument to Gueffroy was erected on the bank of the Britz district canal. The monument was designed by Berlin artist Karl Biedermann. One of the crosses atthe White Crosses memorial site next to the Reichstag building is devoted to him.On 13 August 2010 the Britzer Allee between Treptow and Neukölln wasrenamed Chris-Gueffroy-Allee.See alsoSven HüberList of deaths at the Berlin WallBerlin Crisis of 1961Passage 4:Escape from East BerlinEscape from East Berlin isa 1962 American-West German thriller film directed by Robert Siodmak and starring Don Murray, Christine Kaufmann and Werner Klemperer.It was shot at theTempelhof Studios in Berlin. The film's sets were designed by the art director Dieter Bartels and Ted Haworth.PlotThe story takes place in East Berlin soon afterthe Berlin Wall is built, and is based on an actual escape on January 24, 1962. Kurt Schröder is a chauffeur to East German Major Eckhardt and his seductive wifeHeidi, with whom he is having an affair. One night he sees a friend, Günther Jurgens, who works at the garage where Kurt has the Major's car maintained, drivehis tow-truck through a gate and get killed trying to escape to the west. Günther's sister, Erika, comes looking for Günther when he doesn't return, and is toldthat Kurt saw him last night. She then goes to Kurt's house, where he lives with his mother, Uncle Albrecht (a musician), sister Ingeborg and kid brother Helmutwithin sight of the wall. Erika is intent on escaping to West Berlin, thinking that her brother made it. Kurt, reasonably satisfied with his life, has no intention ofrisking his life to attempt an escape. Erika then attempts to escape over the wall but Kurt catches her as she tries to crawl under the barbed wire, and theypretend to be lovers to hide her intentions from suspicious guards. Kurt then hides her in his house. A piece of Erika's clothing is caught in the barbed wire, andthe guards track her to the Schröder's house. She hides in a room without a floor, and narrowly escapes the guards after they conclude that she could not be inthe room.The Schröders and their neighbors, including a woman named Marga who has a baby and whose husband has already escaped to the west, want toescape East Germany. Kurt comes up with the idea of building a tunnel under the wall, through which they can escape to West Berlin. Although he willmastermind the plan, Kurt has no intention of going with them. They drill through the basement wall using Uncle Albrecht's band as a noise cover when the actualdrilling takes place. One member of the family keeps watch while the others work on the tunnel itself. After they start digging the tunnel, they are joined byWalter Brunner, who had his own plan to dig a tunnel.

He also spent time on loanwith Fulham before later in 2009 joining Manchester City, where he remained for four seasons, although his final two were spent on loan with West Ham andSunderland as well as a spell in the EFL Championship with Brighton & Hove Albion. He retired in 2014 following a season with ReadingBridge made 36appearances for the England national team between 2002 and 2009, being selected for two FIFA World Cup squads and UEFA Euro 2004.ClubcareerSouthamptonBridge was born in Southampton, but moved to Olivers Battery, Winchester, at an early age. He attended Oliver's Battery Primary and Kings'School, Winchester. When playing for Olivers Battery he was spotted by Micky Adams, who recommended him to Southampton, who signed him as a trainee inJuly 1996. He made his reserve team debut as a centre-forward against Portsmouth on 13 August 1997 and turned professional in January 1998.Bridge made hisfirst-team debut on 16 August 1998 (the opening day of the 1998–99 season) coming on as a replacement for John Beresford, who had badly damaged his knee.Bridge made his first senior start in the next match on 22 August in a 5–0 defeat away to Charlton Athletic. As Southampton struggled to pick up points (with onlytwo points after the first nine games), Bridge played (on the left wing) in most of Saints' league games until early December before losing his place to HassanKachloul. For the remainder of the 1998–99 Premier League season, Bridge was only used occasionally as Saints narrowly avoided relegation. He completed hisfirst season as a first-team player with 15 starts and eight substitute appearances.The following season carried on in a similar vein with Bridge making occasionalappearances on the left wing until injuries to Francis Benali and the poor form of his intended replacement Patrick Colleter gave Bridge the opportunity to play atleft-back, where he soon became a fixture in the Saints starting line-up. In the 1999–2000 season, he made 15 starts (plus four substitute appearances) scoringhis first senior goal, with a powerful free-kick over the wall, in the final match of the season on 14 May 2000 against Wimbledon, as a result of which Wimbledonwere relegated to Division 1 after 14 years in the top flight.In the 2000–01 season, Bridge was an ever-present at left-back as Saints finished their final season atThe Dell in tenth place in the Premier League table. Bridge was rewarded by being voted the Southampton Player of the Year for the 2000–01 season.Bridge was\"fast, determined, skilful and full of youthful promise\" and \"his forward runs became an exciting sight at The Dell and then at St Mary's.\" He was an ever-presentyet again in the following season as Saints again finished their first season at their new stadium comfortably in mid-table.Bridge's temperament and consistency,together with a high level of fitness, enabled him to continue to play every match until 18 January 2003 when he limped off with an injury in a 1–0 defeat toLiverpool. This brought to an end a run of 113 consecutive appearances, a Premier League record for an outfield player (since surpassed by Frank Lampard, Jr.).His run started on 4 March 2000, from when Bridge played 10,160 consecutive minutes of Premier League football, not missing any play through injury orsuspension.By now, bigger clubs were trailing Bridge, and he was finally tempted away to join Chelsea for £7 million in the 2003 close season. His last appearancefor the club came in the 2003 FA Cup Final defeat to Arsenal. During his five years as a Saints first-team player, he made 173 appearances, with two league goalsagainst Wimbledon and Bolton Wanderers.Chelsea2003–04 seasonAfter five years with the Saints, Bridge moved to Chelsea in July 2003 for a fee of £7 millionplus Graeme Le Saux, and was initially a regular starter. His finest moment came in the Champions League quarter-final against Arsenal in 2003–04. Bridgescored the winning goal in the 88th minute to send Chelsea into the semi-finals and end an 18-game winless run against Arsenal. The goal was later voted goal ofthe season. Bridge also scored against Beşiktaş and Portsmouth in the 2003–04 season.2004–05 seasonBridge started the 2004–05 season playing regularlyunder new manager José Mourinho, but he picked up a serious ankle injury in an FA Cup tie against Newcastle United on 20 February 2005. This ended his seasonand also meant he missed the following weekend's League Cup Final. Chelsea went on to win the Premier League in his absence but Bridge had already madeenough appearances (15) to receive a winners' medal.2005–06 seasonFor the 2005–06 season, Chelsea signed Spanish left-back Asier del Horno and Bridgefaced a challenge to get back into the side when he recovered from the injury that kept him out of the team in the latter stages of the 2004–05 campaign. He onlymade two appearances for Chelsea that season, both in domestic cup games. These limited first team opportunities saw him join Fulham on loan on 19 January2006. He made his debut in a 2–1 defeat to West Ham United at Upton Park. The move seemed to benefit him as he managed to secure his place in the 2006World Cup English squad for the tournament in Germany. Chelsea won the Premier League again, but Bridge was not eligible for a medal this time as he had notmade a single league appearance for them all season.2006–07 seasonBridge's main competition for the Chelsea left back position then came from fellow Englandinternational left back Ashley Cole. Bridge played the full match in Chelsea's 3–0 victory over Manchester City on the opening day of the 2006–07 Premier Leagueseason, providing a telling cross for the third goal, scored by a header from Didier Drogba. His strong early season form, however, was not enough to hold downthe left-back position, with Mourinho preferring Ashley Cole in most games. Following Cole's injury in the 3–0 Premier League win against Blackburn Rovers earlyin 2007, Bridge became Chelsea's natural choice for left-back.Bridge featured in attack for an injury struck Chelsea side against League Two side WycombeWanderers in the 2007 semi-final 1st leg League Cup match, scoring one goal in the process.Bridge finished the 2006–07 season with two cup final winner'smedals after playing in both the League Cup Final against Arsenal in a 2–1 win and in the FA Cup Final against Manchester United in a 1–0 victory.2007–08seasonBridge played his third cup final for Chelsea in just over two years in the 2–1 loss in the 2008 League Cup Final against Tottenham Hotspur. Bridge wasadjudged to have handled the ball in the penalty area and Tottenham were awarded a penalty from which they scored, going on to win 2–1 afterextra-time.2008–09 seasonIn the League Cup fourth round tie against Burnley in the 2008–09 season, Bridge wore the captain's armband in the absence of JohnTerry and Frank Lampard, but the Blues lost on penalties.Manchester City2009–11 seasonsOn 2 January 2009, it was confirmed by Mark Hughes that ManchesterCity had agreed an undisclosed fee with Chelsea for Bridge, thought to be around £10 million and, on the following day, Manchester City agreed personal termswith the player, who later passed his medical, thus enabling the transfer to be completed and he signed a four-and-a-half-year deal. Bridge was unveiled to thehome fans that day at an FA Cup home tie against Nottingham Forest, and two weeks later made his debut for the club in a 1–0 win against Wigan Athletic in theleague. He was given the squad number 25. For the 2009–10 season, Bridge switched to the number 3, which was previously worn by Michael Ball.On 27February 2010, City inflicted Chelsea's first home Premier League defeat of the season with a 4–2 victory. Prior to the match, Bridge was involved in a highlypublicised incident in which he refused to shake hands with Chelsea captain and former club and international teammate John Terry, who was at the time thesubject of claims that he had had an affair with Bridge's ex-girlfriend Vanessa Perroncel. His position as left-back for Manchester City gradually faded with thearrival of two new left-backs. In the summer of 2010, Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini signed Aleksandar Kolarov from Lazio, and in 2011 signed GaëlClichy from Arsenal, thus indicating Bridge was surplus to requirements at City.West Ham (loan)On 12 January 2011, Bridge joined West Ham United on loan untilthe end of the season. He made his West Ham debut on 15 January 2011 in a 3–0 loss to Arsenal. Bridge made 18 appearances in all competitions for West Hambefore his loan ended.Sunderland (loan)On 31 January 2012, it was announced that Bridge had joined Sunderland on a loan deal until the end of the 2011–12season. He made his debut appearance as an 82nd minute substitute for Kieran Richardson in Sunderland's 3–0 victory over Norwich City the following day. Hemade his first start for Sunderland in their 1–0 win over Liverpool on 10 March 2012, and also featured in the FA Cup quarter-final draw with Everton the followingweek.Brighton & Hove Albion (loan)On 6 July 2012, it was confirmed that Bridge would join Brighton & Hove Albion on a season-long loan. He made his debut forBrighton on 14 August 2012 in a 3–0 away defeat to Swindon Town in the League Cup. His first Brighton goal came on 25 August 2012 in a 5–1 home victory overBarnsley, his first league goal since scoring for Chelsea in December 2003. Bridge played 37 league games for Brighton, scoring three goals and helping themreach fourth place in the league to qualify for the play-offs. He played in both semi-final games against Crystal Palace where Brighton were beaten 2–0 onaggregate. At the end of the season, Bridge thanked Brighton manager Gus Poyet for revitalising his footballing career. He told The Independent, \"Brighton havebeen great to me. I just want to say a big thank you to the chairman and the fans. Gus has revitalised my love for football after I was in the wilderness atManchester City.\"Reading and retirementIn June 2013, Bridge signed a one-year contract with Reading, who had just been relegated to the Football LeagueChampionship. Bridge chose Reading ahead of offers from Queens Park Rangers and Brighton, who wished to make his loan permanent.On 6 May 2014, Bridgewas released by Reading after 12 games in his only season for the club, subsequently retiring from professional football.International careerDuring his time withSouthampton, all Bridge's managers (Jones, Hoddle and Gray) predicted full international honours. He was soon making regular appearances for the Englandunder-21 team, and the managers' prophecy was realised when Sven-Göran Eriksson gave him his first full cap against the Netherlands on 13 February 2002.

The family moved to the United States when he was seven years old on December 4, 1892, by ferry from Windsor to Detroit, according to hisnaturalization petition of August 1939. His elder brother, Leo Garnet Dwan (1883–1964), became a physician.Allan Dwan studied engineering at the University ofNotre Dame and then worked for a lighting company in Chicago. He had a strong interest in the fledgling motion picture industry, and when Essanay Studiosoffered him the opportunity to become a scriptwriter, he took the job. At that time, some of the East Coast movie makers began to spend winters in Californiawhere the climate allowed them to continue productions requiring warm weather. Soon, a number of movie companies worked there year-round, and in 1911,Dwan began working part-time in Hollywood. While still in New York, in 1917 he was the founding president of the East Coast chapter of the Motion PictureDirectors Association.CareerDwan started his directing career by accident in 1911, when he was sent by his employers to California, in order to locate a companythat had vanished. Dwan managed to track the company down, and learned that they were waiting for the film's director (who was an alcoholic) to return from abinge (and allowing them to return to work). Dwan wired back to his employers in Chicago, informing them of the situation, and suggested that they disband thecompany. They wired back, instructing Dwan to direct the film. When Dwan informed the company of the situation, and that their jobs were on the line, theyresponded: \"You're the best damn director we ever saw\".Dwan operated Flying A Studios in La Mesa, California, from August 1911 to July 1912. Flying A was oneof the first motion pictures studios in California history. On August 12, 2011, a plaque was unveiled on the Wolff building at Third Avenue and La Mesa Boulevardcommemorating Dwan and the Flying A Studios origins in La Mesa, California.After making a series of westerns and comedies, Dwan directed fellowCanadian-American Mary Pickford in several very successful movies as well as her husband, Douglas Fairbanks, notably in the acclaimed 1922 Robin Hood. Dwandirected Gloria Swanson in eight feature films, and one short film made in the short-lived sound-on-film process Phonofilm. This short, also featuring ThomasMeighan and Henri de la Falaise, was produced as a joke, for the April 26, 1925 \"Lambs' Gambol\" for The Lambs, with the film showing Swanson crashing theall-male club.Following the introduction of the talkies, Dwan directed child-star Shirley Temple in Heidi (1937) and Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm (1938).Dwanhelped launch the career of two other successful Hollywood directors, Victor Fleming, who went on to direct The Wizard of Oz and Gone With the Wind, andMarshall Neilan, who became an actor, director, writer and producer. Over a long career spanning almost 50 years, Dwan directed 125 motion pictures, some ofwhich were highly acclaimed, such as the 1949 box office hit, Sands of Iwo Jima. He directed his last movie in 1961.Being one of the last surviving pioneers of thecinema, he was interviewed at length for the 1980 documentary series Hollywood.He died in Los Angeles at the age of 96, and is interred in the San FernandoMission Cemetery, Mission Hills, California.Dwan has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6263 Hollywood Boulevard.Daniel Eagan of Film JournalInternational described Dwan as one of the early pioneers of cinema, stating that his style \"is so basic as to seem invisible, but he treats his characters withuncommon sympathy and compassion.\"Partial filmography as directorSee alsoCanadian pioneers in early HollywoodPassage 5:Saintly SinnersSaintly Sinners is a1962 American comedy-drama film directed by Jean Yarbrough and starring Don Beddoe, Ellen Corby, Stanley Clements and Paul Bryar.PlotEx-con Joseph Bradenhas his car temporarily stolen by a pair of bank robbers who hide their loot in the vehicle's spare tire.

He was an innovative composer ofinstrumental music as well as songs, and was the composer of the earliest surviving music for the guitar.BiographyThe place of his birth is not recorded, but hegrew up in Guadalajara, and probably received his musical training there. He most likely went to Italy in 1529 with Charles V, in the company of the fourth Dukeof the Infantado, Íñigo López de Mendoza, marqués de Santillana. When he returned to Spain he became a priest, receiving the post of canon at the cathedral inSeville in 1546, where he remained for the rest of his life. While at the cathedral, he directed all of the musical activities; many records remain of his musicalactivities there, which included hiring instrumentalists, buying and assembling a new organ, and working closely with composer Francisco Guerrero for variousfestivities. Mudarra died in Seville, and his sizable fortune was distributed to the poor of the city according to his will.Mudarra wrote numerous pieces for thevihuela and the four-course guitar, all contained in the collection Tres libros de musica en cifras para vihuela (\"Three books of music in numbers for vihuela\"),which he published on December 7, 1546 in Seville. These three books contain the first music ever published for the four-course guitar, which was then arelatively new instrument. The second book is noteworthy in that it contains eight multi-movement works, all arranged by \"tono\", or mode.Compositionsrepresented in this publication include fantasias, variations (including a set on La Folia), tientos, pavanes and galliards, and songs. Modern listeners are probablymost familiar with his Fantasia X, which has been a concert and recording mainstay for many years. The songs are in Latin, Spanish and Italian, and includeromances, canciones (songs), villancicos, (popular songs) and sonetos (sonnets). Another innovation was the use of different signs for different tempos: slow,medium, and fast.References and further readingJohn Griffiths: \"Alonso Mudarra\", Grove Music Online ed. L.

He left three sons:Hermann III, Vogt of Deutz in St. Severin (Cologne) und Werden (died 1056);Adolf II of Lotharingia,count of Keldachgau, Vogt of Deutz (born 1002, died 1041);Erenfried, Probst of St. Severin.Passage 2:Henry of LaachHenry of Laach (in German: Heinrich vonLaach) was the first count palatine of the Rhine (1085/1087–1095). Henry was the son of Herman I, count of Gleiberg. Henry was a follower of Henry IV, HolyRoman Emperor. He had lands in the southeastern Eifel and on the Moselle River.Most of the holdings of Hermann II, Count Palatine fell back to the emperor,when Hermann died without successor. The emperor named Henry count palatine of the Rhine and during the emperor's trip to Italy tasked Henry to hold interimjudicial councils. Henry married Herman's widow, Adelaide of Weimar-Orlamünde (d. 1100). From this marriage, Henry may have taken control over some of herholdings along the Moselle. As a consequence, the geographic center of the palatinate moved towards the south.With his wife, Adelaide, Henry founded the MariaLaach Abbey. He was succeeded by his stepson, Siegfried of Ballenstedt.Passage 3:Hermann II, Count Palatine of LotharingiaHermann II (born 1049; diedDalhem, 20 September 1085), Count Palatine of Lotharingia 1064–1085. He was count in the Ruhrgau and the Zulpichgau, as well as a count ofBrabant.LifeAccording to Egon Kimpen he was the son of Henry I of Lotharingia († 1061) and Mathild of Verdun († 1060), daughter of Gozelo I of Lotharingia, butthe basis for this has been questioned. However, if that is the case, his maternal uncle was Pope Stephen IX. Until 1064, young Hermann was under theguardianship of Anno II, Archbishop of Cologne, who significantly reduced Hermann's territorial power.In 1080 he married Adelaide of Weimar-Orlamünde (†1100), widow of Adalbert II, Count of Ballenstedt. She was a daughter of Otto of Orlamünde, count of Weimar and margrave of Meissen in Thuringia, and Adela ofBrabant. Together they had two children who had died by 1085.He is assumed to have been the last Count Palatine of Lotharingia of the Ezzonian dynasty. Hewas killed in a duel with Albert III, Count of Namur, near his castle in Dalhem. His widow married again, her third husband being Henry of Laach, count in theMayfeldgau, who became the first count palatine of the Rhine between 1085 and 1087.Passage 4:John Christian, Count Palatine of SulzbachJohn Christian (23January 1700 – 20 July 1733; in German: Johann Christian Joseph) was the Count Palatine of Sulzbach from 1732–33. He was the second and youngest survivingson of duke Theodore Eustace, Count Palatine of Sulzbach (1659–1732) with his consort Eleonore Maria Amalia of Hesse-Rotenburg (1675–1720). His elderbrother was Joseph Charles, Count Palatine of Sulzbach.LifeAfter the death of his elder brother Joseph Charles, John Christian Joseph became the eventualdesignated heir of the Electoral Palatine. In 1732 he succeeded his father as Count Palatine of Sulzbach, but died in Sulzbach in 1733 before inheriting thePalatinate.Charles III Philip, Elector Palatine, a member of the Palatine Neuburg line of Wittelsbach failed to produce a legitimate male heir, and his brothers also.By 1716 it was evident that the Neuburg line would become extinct and that the Sulzbach branch would succeed them.MarriageHe married twice:Marie AnneHenriëtte Leopoldine de La Tour d'Auvergne (24 October 1708 – 28 July 1728), daughter of Francois Egon de la Tour d'Auvergne, Prince of Auvergne, and had thefollowing children:Charles Theodore (11 December 1724 – 16 February 1799); became Elector Palatine in 1742, and Elector of Bavaria in 1777Maria Anne (30May 1728 – 25 June 1728)Eleonore Philippina Christina Sophia of Hesse-Rotenburg (1712-1759); married on 1731 but had no issue.== Ancestry ==Passage5:Philip William August, Count Palatine of NeuburgPhilip William August, Count Palatine of Neuburg (born 19 November 1668 in Neuburg an der Donau; died: 5April 1693 in Zákupy (German: Reichstadt)) was a Prince and Count Palatine of Neuburg.LifePhilip William August was the 13th from a total of 17 children ofElector Palatine Philip William (1615-1690) from his second marriage to Elisabeth Amalie (1635-1709), a daughter of Landgrave George II ofHesse-Darmstadt.His oldest sister, Eleonor Magdalene married Emperor Leopold I in 1676. In August 1689, after he had visited his brother in Breslau and hissister in Vienna, Philip William began his Grand Tour to Italy.Philip William August chose a secular career and entered into active military service. He died at theage of 24 after suffering for seven days from a \"malignant fever\" and was buried in the parish church of Zákupy. His heart lies in the Court Church in Neuburg onthe Danube.Marriage and issueHe married on 29 October 1690 in Raudnitz Anna Maria Franziska (1672–1741), a daughter of Duke Julius Francis ofSaxe-Lauenburg. The wedding ceremony, which had to be postponed due to the illness and death of Philip William August's father, was carried out \"plainly\". Hismarriage brought Philipp Wilhelm August the following children:Leopoldine Eleanor (1691–1693).Maria Anna Carolina (1693–1751), married in 1719 PrinceFerdinand of Bavaria (1699–1738).AncestryPassage 6:Henry I, Count Palatine of LotharingiaHenry I (German: Heinrich; d.1061), was Count Palatine ofLotharingia from 1045 until 1060. He was the son of Hezzelin I, Count in Zülpichgau, and a member of the Ezzonid dynasty. Historians have given severalnicknames to Heinrich: Furiosus (the Violent/the Insane), because he murdered his wife, and Monachus (the Monk), because he was confined into an abbey totreat his insanity.LifeHenry was the son of Hezzelin I and his unnamed wife, who was probably a daughter of Conrad I of Carinthia.Around 1048 Henry marriedMathilda of Verdun (born abt 1025, died 27 July 1060), daughter of Duke Gozelo of Lotharingia, and sister of pope Stephen IX.He received the Mosellan castle ofCochem from his niece, Queen Richeza of Poland. He was elected as successor for the German kingdom during Emperor Henry III's illness.Shortly after 1058,Henry began to show signs of insanity, for which he was confined to the abbey of Gorze. He escaped however, and thinking that his wife Matilda had beenunfaithful to him, he killed her (27 July 1060). Henry then was definitely enclosed into the abbey of Echternach, where he died in 1061. His office and countieswere confiscated by Anno II, archbishop of Cologne, who became the guardian of their only son, the later count palatine Hermann II (1064-1085).Passage7:Rudolph II, Count Palatine of TübingenRudolph II, Count Palatine of Tübingen (died 1 November 1247) was Count Palatine of Tübingen and Vogt ofSindelfingen. He was the younger son of Rudolph I and his wife Matilda of Gleiberg, heiress of Giessen.LifeRudolph II inherited the County Palatine of Tübingenwhen his elder brother Hugo III died in 1216. From 1224 onwards, he is described as Count Palatine in many imperial documents, while his younger brotherWilliam is merely styled as Count. Rudolph II supported Bebenhausen Abbey, which his parents had founded. Next to his father, Rudolph II is the second mostmentioned Count Palatine of Tübingen in imperial documents, mostly in documents by King Henry (VII) of Germany, the son of Emperor Frederick II, who hadbeen elected King of Germany in 1220, at the age of 8. Frederick II spent much of his time in Italy, leaving his ancestral Swabia in the hands of his son. Later, in1232, Henry revolted against his father, and did everything in his power to win the Swabian nobility over to his side. Rudolph II appears to have been among thenoblemen who sided with Henry VII, at least, he is mentioned in 10 different documents of Henry VII and never by Frederick II. Considering Rudolph's energeticcharacter, one can assume that he intended to use the conflict between Henry VII and Frederick II to expand his own power and aim at an independentposition.Swabian noblemen, including Rudolph II and his brother William, Count Hartmann I of Württemberg and a Count of Dillingen, visited Henry VII in Wormson 8 January 1224. They met Margrave Herman V of Baden was also present, as was Eberhard, Sénéchal of Waldburg and councillor and former guardian ofHenry VII in Oppenheim on 5 April 1227 and in Hagenau on 1 May. In the same year, Rudolph met Duke Louis I of Bavaria, who was an imperial vicar andConrad of Winterstetten, who was imperial cup-bearer and also a councilor of Henry VII. He met the Lords of Neuffen and the imperial marshal Anselm ofJustingen in Ulm on 23 February 1228. On 31 August 1228, Rudolph II appears, together with Margrave Herman V of Baden, Count Henry of Wirtemberg, aCount of Dillingen, Conrad of Weinsperg and the councillors mentioned above, as witnesses of a deed in which King henry VII confirms the privileges of AdelberAbbey in Esslingen. Later that year, Rudolph II appeared as a witness in four deed by Duke Louis I of Bavaria and Bishop Ekbert of Bamberg, together with,among others, Margrave Herman V of Baden, Count Ulrich and Eberhard of Helfenstein, Counts Eberhard and Otto of Eberstein, Count Gottfried of Hohenlohe, andtwo councilors.Rudolph II stood at the head of a delegation of eight Swabian counts, among them Albert IV of Habsburg, Frederick IV of Zollern and a Count ofEberstein, at the Imperial Diet in Worms on 29 April 1231. On 22 November 1231, Rudolph II and his brother William met Counts Albert of Rottenburg, Ulrich ofHefenstein and Eberhard of Walpurg at Henry VII's castle in Ulm. On 31 December 1231, Rudolph witnessed a deed benefiting Neresheim Abbey in Wimpfen,together with Duke Conrad I of Teck and Margrave Hermann V of Baden. The last time Rudolph II witnessed a deed of Henry VII was on 4 June 1233 inEsslingen, again with his brother William.In 1235, Pope Gregory IX called on the princes of the empire to organize a new crusade into the Holy Land, to renderassistance to the beleaguered church there. Rudolph II is the only Swabian nobleman named in this call to arms; whether he actually went to the Holy Land isunknown. The fact that he is not mentioned in any deed between 1235 and 1243 suggests that he may have been absent for an extended period. In particular,no mention is made of his position in the struggle between King Conrad IV of Germany and anti-King Henry Raspe IV, which is remarkable, since this struggletook place mainly in Swabia. However, a deed in favour of Bebenhausen Abbey which the papal legate made at Rudolph II's request in the army camp outsideUlm on 28 January 1247, suggests that he supported Henry Raspe.FamilyThe name of Rudolph II's wife has not been preserved. She was a daughter of aMargrave Henry from the House of Ronsberg and Udilhild of Gammertingen. They had the following children:Hugo IV, Count Palatine of TübingenRudolf III ofScheer (d. 12 May 1277), Count of Tübingen-HerrenbergUlrichMathilda, married Burchard II, Count of Hohenberg (d. 14 July 1253, struck by lightning).

Tales from the QuadeaD Zone was the only film produced by Erry Vision Film Co.Since its release Tales From the QuadeaD Zone has received several public screenings, one of which was a 2016 symposium at the Yale University Library, Terror on Tape.It was given a DVD release in 2013 through Massacre Video.SynopsisThe film is composed of two stories, plus a third wraparound story; \"Food For ?\" and \"The Brothers\", both of which are narrated by a mother (Shirley L. Jones) reading the tales to her deceased son Bobby. \"Food For ?\" centers upon a family that is so poor that they are unable to afford food for every family member. Their only solution is to get rid of some of their family in order to increase the amount of dinner for everyone else. \" The Brother\" follows two brothers who have hated each other their entire lives and have each made cruel jokes and attacks against the other. When one of them dies, the living brother tries to have the last laugh by stealing his brother's corpse and making him look like a circus clown. Little does he know that his brother's spirit has returned to his body, unhappy with his brother's plans.CastProductionWork on Tales from the QuadeaD Zone began three years after Turner completed his first film, Black Devil Doll From Hell, which was initially intended to be one of the anthology's stories. Two of the film's stories, \"Food For ?\" and the wraparound story \"Unseen Vision\", were shot in Alabama while \"The Brothers\" was shot in Chicago.ReleaseAs Turner released the film on his own, along with star Shirley L. Jones, Tales from the QuadeaD Zone was released in an extremely limited amount, estimated to be at or less than 100 copies. The copies were only circulated in the Chicago area due to the cost of gas and travel required by Turner and Jones and it is believed that many of these copies have been lost.Over time the video achieved cult status and VHS copies became much sought after collector's items. In 2011 one copy of the film sold for $665 on the online auction site eBay, a feat that was covered in the 2013 documentary Adjust Your Tracking. The winning bidder later sold his copy of the movie for twice the amount paid.The price reached an all time high when a copy was sold on eBay for $2000.In 2013, Massacre Video released the movie as part of a DVD box set along with Black Devil Doll From Hell. The box set features commentary from Turner and Jackson, a documentary about both films, and the director's cut of Black Devil Doll From Hell, which upon release had been heavily edited from Turner's original version.ReceptionHorronews.net commented that although the video could be seen as a \"complete and utter train wreck\", the film was made during a point in time when amateur filmmaking would be cost prohibitive for the average person and the creation of Tales from the QuadeaD Zone was evidence of Turner's \"heart and a dream to become a film maker\". Bloody Disgusting also reviewed the movie, stating that it was \"a no-budget, SOV labor of mad love\". DVD Talk reviewed the movie as part of Massacre Video's box set and gave it a poor review, which they felt was weaker than Black Devil Doll From Hell.Passage 2:Hiroshi IshikawaHiroshi Ishikawa (\u0000\u0000 \u0000, born May 18, 1963) is a Japanese film director and writer from Ōdate.

Each \"golden age\" introduces significant advancements in theoretical and experimental methods. Discernible time periods marking a \" golden age\" of advancements are, for example, the development of mechanics under Galileo (1564–1642) and Newton (1642–1727). Another small epoch seen as a golden age is the unification of electricity, magnetism, and optics because of 19th century notables, including Faraday, Maxwell, and others.Significant advancements in methods of investigation were introduced for celestial mechanics, which includes realizing a universal gravitational force, with the introduction of the telescope. Basing mechanics on experimental results was possible with the development of devices that could measure time, and tools for measuring distance. The advances in electromagnetism in the 19th century enamored physicists, as another golden age closed, and there was a reluctance to perceive further advancement. Hence, the progress of one era, termed a \"golden age\" has appeared to mark the completion of physics as a science. Yet, this perception has turned out to be erroneous. For example, around 1980, Stephen Hawking predicted the end of theoretical physics within 20 years. Around 2001, he amended his prediction to twenty years more from that year. Steven Weinberg predicts a unified physics by 2050. Tadeusz Lulek, Barbara Lulek, and A. Wal – the authors of a 2001 book – believed themselves to be at the beginning of a new \"golden age of physics\".Paul Davies notes that whilst \"many elderly scientists\" may regard the first 30 years of the 20th century as a golden age of physics, historians may well, instead, regard it to be the dawning days of \"the New Physics\".The golden age of physics was the 19th century. According to Emilio Segrè, in Italy it came to an end in the 18th century, after the time of Alessandro Volta. He reported in his autobiography that Enrico Fermi felt that it was coming to an end in 1933. A golden age of physics began with the simultaneous discovery of the principle of the conservation of energy in the mid-19th century. A golden age of physics was the years 1925 to 1927. The golden age of nonlinear physics was the period from 1950 to 1970, encompassing the Fermi–Pasta–Ulam–Tsingou problem and others. This followed the golden age of nuclear physics, which had spanned the two decades from the mid-1930s to the mid-1950s. A golden age of physics started at the end of the 1920s.The golden age of physics cabinets was the 18th century, with the rise of such lecturer-demonstrators as John Keill, John Theophilus Desaguliers, and William Whiston, who all invented new physics apparatus for their lectures.See alsoGolden age of general relativityGolden age of cosmologyGolden age (metaphor)Passage 5:The Vault of Horror (film)The Vault of Horror (otherwise known as Vault of Horror, Further Tales from the Crypt and Tales from the Crypt II) is a 1973 British anthology horror film directed by Roy Ward Baker, and starring Terry-Thomas, Dawn Addams, Denholm Elliott, Curd Jürgens, Tom Baker, Michael Craig, Terence Alexander, Glynis Johns, Mike Pratt, Robin Nedwell, Geoffrey Davies, Daniel Massey and Anna Massey.

In the first innings of hisfirst match, against Lancashire at The Oval, he took five wickets for 81 runs.In his first full season, 1948, he was Surrey's leading wicket-taker and in the lasthome game of the season he was awarded his county cap – he celebrated by taking eight Northamptonshire wickets for 46 runs at The Oval, six of them comingin the space of 6.3 overs for seven runs. This would remain the best bowling performance of his first-class career, not surpassed, but he did equal it seven yearslater. In the following game, the last away match of the season, he took 10 Hampshire wickets for 150 runs in the match at Bournemouth. In the 1948 season asa whole, he took 91 wickets at an average of 28.07. As a tail-end left-handed batsman, he managed just 93 runs in the season at an average of 4.22.Theemergence of Tony Lock as a slow left-arm bowler in 1949 brought a stuttering end of McMahon's Surrey career. Though he played in 12 first-class matches in the1949 season, McMahon took only 19 wickets; a similar number of matches in 1950 brought 34 wickets. In 1951, he played just seven times and in 1952 onlythree times. In 1953, Lock split the first finger of his left hand, and played in only 11 of Surrey's County Championship matches; McMahon played as his deputy in14 Championship matches, though a measure of their comparative merits was that Lock's 11 games produced 67 wickets at 12.38 runs apiece, while McMahon's14 games brought him 45 wickets at the, for him, low average of 21.53. At the end of the 1953 season, McMahon was allowed to leave Surrey to join Somerset,then languishing at the foot of the County Championship and recruiting widely from other counties and other countries.Somerset cricketerSomerset's slowbowling in 1954 was in the hands of leg-spinner Johnny Lawrence, with support from the off-spin of Jim Hilton while promising off-spinner Brian Langford was onnational service. McMahon filled a vacancy for a left-arm orthodox spinner that had been there since the retirement of Horace Hazell at the end of the 1952season; Hazell's apparent successor, Roy Smith, had failed to realise his promise as a bowler in 1953, though his batting had advanced significantly.McMahoninstantly became a first-team regular and played in almost every match during his four years with the county, not missing a single Championship game until hewas controversially dropped from the side in August 1957, after which he did not play in the Championship again.In the 1954 season, McMahon, alongside fellownewcomer Hilton, was something of a disappointment, according to Wisden: \"The new spin bowlers, McMahon and Hilton, did not attain to the best standards oftheir craft in a wet summer, yet, like the rest of the attack, they would have fared better with reasonable support in the field and from their own batsmen,\" itsaid. McMahon took 85 wickets at an average of 27.47 (Hilton took only 42 at a higher average). His best match was against Essex at Weston-super-Mare wherehe took six for 96 in the first innings and five for 45 in the second to finish with match figures of 11 for 141, which were the best of his career. He was awardedhis county cap in the 1954 season, but Somerset remained at the bottom of the table.The figures for the 1955 were similar: McMahon this time took 75 wickets at28.77 apiece. There was a small improvement in his batting and the arrival of Bryan Lobb elevated McMahon to No 10 in the batting order for most of the season,and he responded with 262 runs and an average of 9.03. This included his highest-ever score, 24, made in the match against Sussex at Frome. A week later inSomerset's next match, he equalled his best-ever bowling performance, taking eight Kent wickets for 46 runs in the first innings of a match at Yeovil throughwhat Wisden called \"clever variation of flight and spin\". These matches brought two victories for Somerset, but there were only two others in the 1955 season andthe side finished at the bottom of the Championship for the fourth season running.At the end of the 1955 season, Lawrence retired and McMahon becameSomerset's senior spin bowler for the 1956 season, with Langford returning from National Service as the main support. McMahon responded with his mostsuccessful season so far, taking 103 wickets at an average of 25.57, the only season in his career in which he exceeded 100 wickets. The bowling averageimproved still further in 1957 to 23.10 when McMahon took 86 wickets. But his season came to an abrupt end in mid-August 1957 when, after 108 consecutiveChampionship matches, he was dropped from the first team during the Weston-super-Mare festival. Though he played some games for the second eleven later inAugust, he regained his place in the first team for only a single end-of-season friendly match, and he was told that his services were not required for the future, adecision, said Wisden, that \"proved highly controversial\".Sacked by SomersetThe reason behind McMahon's sacking did not become public knowledge for manyyears. In its obituary of him in 2002, McMahon was described by Wisden as \"a man who embraced the antipodean virtues of candour and conviviality\". It went on:\"Legend tells of a night at the Flying Horse Inn in Nottingham when he beheaded the gladioli with an ornamental sword, crying: 'When Mac drinks, everybodydrinks!'\" The obituary recounts a further escapade in second eleven match at Midsomer Norton where a curfew imposed on the team was circumvented by \"aPOW-type loop\" organised by McMahon, \"with his team-mates escaping through a ground-storey window and then presenting themselves again\". As the onlySomerset second eleven match that McMahon played in at Midsomer Norton was right at the end of the 1957 season, this may have been the final straw. But inany case there had been \"an embarrassing episode at Swansea's Grand Hotel\" earlier in the season, also involving Jim Hilton, who was also dismissed at the endof the season. Team-mates and club members petitioned for McMahon to be reinstated, but the county club was not to be moved.After a period in LancashireLeague cricket with Milnrow Cricket Club, McMahon moved back to London where he did office work, later contributing some articles to cricket magazines.==Notes and references ==Passage 3:Saad Bin TeflaSaad Bin Tefla AlAjmi (also known as Saad Bin Tiflah or Saad Al Ajmi) is a Kuwaiti businessman and politician.He has been Kuwait's Minister of Information and Culture.Political careerHe has headed the Kuwait Information Center in London and worked as an interpreterand advisor in the Kuwaiti parliament.

They had met each other in 1932 in Mecklenburg, the home of Juliana’s paternal relations. His reputation as a womanizer, his previous called offengagement and his German heritage did not make him a popular choice, but he was reconsidered after other candidates were rejected by the Queen or Julianaherself.These plans, however, did not prove fruitful either.On 9 September 1937, he married his cousin, Princess Feodora, daughter of Prince Harald of Denmark,a younger brother of King Christian X and Princess Louise, at Fredensborg Palace, Zealand, Denmark; they had four children.Prince Wilhelm of Schaumburg-Lippe(b. 19 August 1939)Prince Waldemar of Schaumburg-Lippe (19 December 1940 – 11 August 2020)Princess Marie of Schaumburg-Lippe (b. 27 December1945)Prince Harald of Schaumburg-Lippe (b. 27 March 1948)Later lifeHe died aged 76 on 13 July 1974 at Bückeburg, a year before his wife.His four children livein Germany and Denmark.AncestryPassage 4:Princess Louise of Denmark (1750–1831)Princess Louise of Denmark and Norway (Danish: Louise af Danmark ogNorge; 20 January 1750 – 12 January 1831) was born to Frederick V of Denmark and Louise of Great Britain.

The following year her father remarried to Duchess Juliana Maria ofBrunswick-Wolfenbüttel, who gave birth to Louise's half-brother, Prince Frederick in 1753.Princess Louise was considered the most beautiful and spirited ofFrederick V's children, but also the most reserved. She was Christian VII's favorite sister, and he was already from childhood strongly attached to his \"Louison,\"as he called her.Marriage and issueIn 1756, Queen Louise's sister, Mary, who was estranged from her husband, Landgrave Frederick II of Hesse-Kassel, moved toDenmark to take care of her deceased sister's children. She brought her three sons with her, who were brought up at the Danish court with their Danish cousins.On 30 August 1766 at the Christiansborg Palace Chapel, Louise married the second eldest of them, Landgrave Charles of Hesse-Kassel. The marriage took placewith her brother King Christian VII's consent, despite advice given against it, due to many accusations of debauchery by Landgrave Charles and the poor influencehe had on the King.

In the Landgrave's own words,he became so popular that the Norwegians would gladly have him as King.

Ekaterína I Alekséyevna Mikháylova; born Polish: Marta Helena Skowrońska, Russian: Ма́рта Самуи́ловна Скавро́нская, tr. Márta SamuílovnaSkavrónskaya; 15 April [O.S. 5 April] 1684 – 17 May [O.S. 6 May] 1727) was the second wife and empress consort of Peter the Great, and empress regnant ofRussia from 1725 until her death in 1727.Life as a servantThe life of Catherine I was said by Voltaire to be nearly as extraordinary as that of Peter the Greathimself. Only uncertain and contradictory information is available about her early life. Said to have been born on 15 April 1684 (o.s. 5 April), she was originallynamed Marta Helena Skowrońska. Marta was the daughter of Samuel Skowroński (later spelled Samuil Skavronsky), a Roman Catholic farmer from the easternparts of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, born to Minsker parents. In 1680 he married Dorothea Hahn at Jakobstadt. Her mother is named in at least onesource as Elizabeth Moritz, the daughter of a Baltic German woman and there is debate as to whether Moritz's father was a Swedish officer. It is likely that twostories were conflated, and Swedish sources suggest that the Elizabeth Moritz story is probably incorrect. Some biographies state that Marta's father was agravedigger and handyman, while others speculate that he was a runaway landless serf.Marta's parents died of the plague around 1689, leaving five children.According to one of the popular versions, at the age of three Marta was taken by an aunt and sent to Marienburg (the present-day Alūksne in Latvia, near theborder with Estonia and Russia) where she was raised by Johann Ernst Glück, a Lutheran pastor and educator who was the first to translate the Bible into Latvian.In his household she served as a lowly servant, likely either a scullery maid or washerwoman. No effort was made to teach her to read and write and sheremained illiterate throughout her life.Marta was considered a very beautiful young girl, and there are accounts that Frau Glück became fearful that she wouldbecome involved with her son. At the age of seventeen, she was married off to a Swedish dragoon, Johan Cruse or Johann Rabbe, with whom she remained foreight days in 1702, at which point the Swedish troops were withdrawn from Marienburg. When Russian forces captured the town, Pastor Glück offered to work asa translator, and Field Marshal Boris Sheremetev agreed to his proposal and took him to Moscow.There are unsubstantiated stories that Marta worked briefly inthe laundry of the victorious regiment, and also that she was presented in her undergarments to Brigadier General Rudolph Felix Bauer, later the Governor ofEstonia, to be his mistress. She may have worked in the household of his superior, Sheremetev. It is not known whether she was his mistress, or householdmaid. She travelled back to the Russian court with Sheremetev's army.Afterwards she became part of the household of Prince Alexander Menshikov, who was thebest friend of Peter the Great of Russia. Anecdotal sources suggest that she was purchased by him. Whether the two of them were lovers is disputed, asMenshikov was already engaged to Darya Arsenyeva, his future wife. It is clear that Menshikov and Marta formed a lifetime alliance.It is possible that Menshikov,who was quite jealous of Peter's attentions and knew his tastes, wanted to procure a mistress on whom he could rely. In any case, in 1703, while visitingMenshikov at his home, Peter met Marta. In 1704, she was well established in the Tsar's household as his mistress, and gave birth to a son, Peter. In 1703, sheconverted to Orthodoxy and took the new name Catherine Alexeyevna (Yekaterina Alexeyevna). She and Darya Menshikova accompanied Peter and Menshikov ontheir military excursions.Marriage and family lifeThough no record exists, Catherine and Peter are described as having married secretly between 23 October and 1December 1707 in Saint Petersburg. They had twelve children, two of whom survived into adulthood, Anna (born 1708) and Elizabeth (born 1709).Peter hadmoved the capital to St. Petersburg in 1703. While the city was being built he lived in a three-room log cabin with Catherine, where she did the cooking andcaring for the children, and he tended a garden as though they were an ordinary couple. The relationship was the most successful of Peter's life and a greatnumber of letters exist demonstrating the strong affection between Catherine and Peter. As a person she was very energetic, compassionate, charming, andalways cheerful. She was able to calm Peter in his frequent rages and was often called in to do so.Catherine went with Peter on his Pruth Campaign in 1711.There, she was said to have saved Peter and his Empire, as related by Voltaire in his book Peter the Great. Surrounded by overwhelming numbers of Turkishtroops, Catherine suggested before surrendering, that her jewels and those of the other women be used in an effort to bribe the Ottoman grand vizier BaltacıMehmet Pasha into allowing a retreat.Mehmet allowed the retreat, whether motivated by the bribe or considerations of trade and diplomacy. In any case Petercredited Catherine and proceeded to marry her again (this time officially) at Saint Isaac's Cathedral in St. Petersburg on 9 February 1712. She was Peter'ssecond wife; he had previously married and divorced Eudoxia Lopukhina, who had borne him the Tsarevich Alexis Petrovich. Upon their wedding, Catherine tookon the style of her husband and became Tsarina. When Peter elevated the Russian Tsardom to Empire, Catherine became Empress.

Their children were:Ida (died before 1125), married to Godfrey I, Count of LeuvenOda (died after 1134), marriedto Giselbert II, Count of DurasHugues, probably died youngAlbert of Chiny (before 1131–1162)Frederick, (died after 1124), Provost at Reims from 1120AdalberoII of Chiny-Namur (died 26 March 1145), Bishop of Liège, 1135–1145Eustache (died after 1156), married to a daughter of Wiger de Waremme, Avoué of LiègeSaint-Lambert and Hesbaye. His son Louis de Lumaine was also Avoué of Hesbaye.Ida (also known as Ida of Namur) and Godfrey I (also known as Godfrey theBearded, not to be confused with the uncle of his father Henry II, Godfrey) were parents of Adeliza of Louvain, wife of Henry I of England. Oda’s husbandGislebert was son of Otto, Count of Duras and therefore the grandson of Giselbert, the first Count of Looz, whose family would eventually be merged with theCounts of Chiny with the marriage of Otto's great-great granddaughter Jeanne, Countess of Chiny, with Arnold IV of Looz.After his death, Otto was succeeded asCount of Chiny by his son Albert.Passage 6:Louis II, Count of ChinyLouis II (died before 1066), Count of Chiny (from 1025 until his death), son of Louis I, Countof Chiny and Verdun, and Adélaïde de Saint Varme. He left very few traces in history and nothing is known about his reign.Louis was married to Sophie. They hadtwo children:Arnold I, Count of ChinyManasses (died 1068), a monk at the Church of St. Hubert.Legend has it that Louis held hunting parties in his huge gamepark. Here, Thibault of Champagne established a hermitage and found a source of holy springs, and Louis built a shrine to the spring's healing powers. The shrinebecame famous, with many pilgrims who came to implore the grace of Saint-Thibault. Later, monks from Calabria, Italy, founded a monastery nearby at Orval atthe invitation of Louis’ son Arnold.Upon Louis' death, his son Arnold became Count of Chiny.Passage 7:Arnold VI of Rummen, Count of LoonArnold VI de Rumigny(died May 1373), Count of Looz and Count of Chiny (as Arnold IV) (1362–1364), son of William of Oreye, Lord of Rumigny (by donation of Louis IV, Count of Loozin 1331), and Jeanne de Looz, daughter of Arnold V, Count of Loon and Chiny, and, Marguerite Vianden, Lady of Perwez and Grimbergen.In 1336, at the death ofhis uncle, Louis IV, Count of Loon and Chiny, Arnold laid claim to the estates, but without success. Instead, the estates passed to another nephew, Thierry deHeinsberg. Finally, on January 25, 1362, he bought the rights to the counties from his cousin Godfrey, Count of Looz and Chiny. Looz, however, was still occupiedby the troops of Engelbert III of the Marck, Prince-Bishop of Liege.On December 25, Arnold approached the Emperor Charles IV for his help in financing thereconquest of Looz, but he failed in that endeavor. Without options, he sold the counties to Wenceslaus, Duke of Luxembourg, on June 16, 1364. On September23, 1366, he entered into a transaction with John of Arkel, Prince-Bishop of Liège, receiving some financial compensation for the occupation of the countiesIn1346, Arnold married Elizabeth of Flanders, illegitimate daughter of Louis of Flanders, Count of Nevers. No children are recorded.SourcesArlette Laret-Kayser,Entre Bar et Luxembourg : Le Comté de Chiny des Origines à 1300, Bruxelles (éditions du Crédit Communal, Collection Histoire, série in-8°, n° 72), 1986Passage8:Arnold I, Count of ChinyArnold I (died 16 April 1106), Count of Chiny, son of Louis II, Count of Chiny, and his wife Sophie. He succeeded his father as countbefore 1066.Arnold is best known for his many clashes with the authorities. The only known positive action of his was the founding of the Abbey of Orval withConrad I, Count of Luxembourg. In addition he began other religious institutions, apparently as atonement for his many crimes. He had many run-ins with theclergy, particularly with Henry, Bishop of Liège, a relative of Godfrey the Bearded, no doubt due to the murder of his grandfather by Godfrey’s father. There werealso issues with Henry's successor Otbert.A convenient story is that Arnold regularly confronted Godfrey’s grandson Count Godfrey of Bouillon, a leader of theFirst Crusade and nephew of Countess Mathilda of Tuscany, but that they eventually became friends. Because of this newly-found friendship, he allegedlyentrusted Godfrey with his sons Otto and Louis to take part in the crusade. The reality is that this is likely a story concocted by Count Louis V, much like the restof his version of the history of Chiny (see the discussion in the Counts of Chiny), to enhance his standing at the Tournament of Chauvency in 1285, which includedsuch royalty as Rudolf I, King of Germany.It is clear that Otto and Louis never actually joined the crusade, as their names are not listed among the participants inthe Holy quest. The reality of the situation appears that Godfrey's army included relatively few of the major nobles of the duchy, especially those of comital rank.The nobles of Lower Lotharingia were not all vassals of the Duke (and later Defender of the Holy Sepulchre) and felt no obligation to follow him, despite theseriousness of the taking of the cross. Notable absentees were Arnold, Albert III of Namur and Henry of Arlon and Limburg. These were all part of the coalitionthat had waged war on Godfrey and his principal allies Henry of Verdun and his successor Otbert, Prince-Bishops of Liège.

His grandfather was Otakar Zich, composer and professor of music aesthetics,and his uncle was the composer Jaroslav Zich. Karel attended the Prague State Conservatory (Státní konzervatoř Praha) for three years and later graduated fromCharles University in sociology.Between 1964 and 1965 he performed with the band Framus as a singer. In 1968 Zich joined Spirituál kvintet and stayed withthem until 1973. His main interest was in rock'n'roll, and he is sometimes called the \"Czech Elvis\".After his successes in the Czech pop scene with various bands,Zich decided to start his solo career. In 1974 he left Spirituál kvintet and in 1976 released his first album, Dům č.5 (House No. 5). Although he sang his ownsongs, he also worked with famous composers Karel Svoboda, Petr Janda, and others.In 1975 Zich reached the top of his career by winning 4th place in ZlatýSlavík.

He moved to Slovakia in 1939. In 1940, the Slovak Jews were forced to form the Ústredňa Židov (ÚŽ), aJudenrat, to implement Nazi orders. Most of the members of the ÚŽ had been prominent in Jewish public life before the Holocaust, and worked on public relief forJews who had been dispossessed by anti-Jewish measures. However, the ÚŽ's reputation was harmed by the Jews within it who informed or collaborated, ofwhom Hochberg was the most notorious, according to YIVO (Institute for Jewish Research). In early 1941, the first head of the ÚŽ was deposed and arrested forsabotaging a census of Jews in eastern Slovakia with an aim to remove them to the west of the country. His replacement was an ineffectual schoolteacher namedArpad Sebestyen, who took a position of complete collaboration with the Germans. Hochberg was appointed to lead the \"Department for Special Affairs\", whichwas created to ensure the prompt implementation of Dieter Wisliceny's orders; he promptly organized the census and removal, tarnishing the ÚŽ's reputation inthe Jewish community. Due to Sebestyen's ineffectuality, Hochberg's department came to dominate the operations of the ÚŽ.In 1942, Hochberg's departmentworked on categorizing Jews for deportation, but it did not actually draw up the lists. About 57,000 Jews, two-thirds of the population, were deported that year;only a few hundred survived. Later, Hochberg played an important role in negotiations between the Bratislava Working Group, the resistance group within the ÚŽ,and Wisliceny. Hochberg, who made regular visits to Wisliceny's office, was the only feasible option because contact with Wisliceny had to be done clandestinely.The Working Group employed him as an intermediary despite its intense dislike and distrust of Hochberg, its fear that associating with him would harm theirreputations, and its belief that he was unreliable.In November 1942, as the Working Group began to negotiate the Europa Plan with Wisliceny in an effort to saveall European Jews from deportation and death, Hochberg was arrested for bribery and corruption. According to the Slovak police records, Hochberg had an illegalaccount in which large bribes were deposited in return for the cessation of transports. Andrej Steiner, a member of the Working Group, distrusted Hochberg andhad provided the Slovak police with evidence against him. However, his colleague Michael Dov Weissmandl advocated that the Working Group try to get Hochbergreleased; Weissmandl believed that he was useful and was concerned that he would reveal the negotiations. The leader of the Working Group, Gisi Fleischmann,sided with Steiner, and the Working Group did not intervene on Hochberg's behalf. Imprisoned at Nováky labor camp and later Ilava prison, Hochberg escapedduring the Slovak National Uprising and joined the partisans. He was executed as a collaborator by Jewish partisans.Passage 3:Maximus of TyreMaximus of Tyre(Greek: Μάξιμος Τύριος; fl. late 2nd century AD), also known as Cassius Maximus Tyrius, was a Greek rhetorician and philosopher who lived in the time of theAntonines and Commodus, and who belongs to the trend of the Second Sophistic. His writings contain many allusions to the history of Greece, while there is littlereference to Rome; hence it is inferred that he lived longer in Greece, perhaps as a professor at Athens. Although nominally a Platonist, he is really a sophistrather than a philosopher, although he is still considered one of the precursors of Neoplatonism.WritingsThe DissertationsThere exist 41 essays or discourses ontheological, ethical, and other philosophical subjects, collected into a work called The Dissertations. The central theme is God as the supreme being, one andindivisible though called by many names, accessible to reason alone:In such a mighty contest, sedition and discord, you will see one according law and assertionin all the earth, that there is one God, the king and father of all things, and many gods, sons of God, ruling together with him.As animals form the intermediatestage between plants and human beings, so there exist intermediaries between God and man, viz. daemons, who dwell on the confines of heaven and earth. Thesoul in many ways bears a great resemblance to the divinity; it is partly mortal, partly immortal, and, when freed from the fetters of the body, becomes adaemon. Life is the sleep of the soul, from which it awakes at death. The style of Maximus is superior to that of the ordinary sophistical rhetorician, but scholarsdiffer widely as to the merits of the essays themselves.Dissertation XX discusses \"Whether the Life of a Cynic is to Be Preferred\". He begins with a narrative ofhow Prometheus created mankind, who initially lived a life of ease \"for the earth supplied them with aliment, rich meadows, long-haired mountains, andabundance of fruits\" – in other words, a Garden of Eden that resonates with Cynic ideas. It was \"a life without war, without iron, without a guard, peaceful,healthful unindigent\".Then, taking perhaps from Lucretius, he contrasts that Garden to mankind's \"second life\", which started with the division of the earth intoproperty, which they then enclosed into fortifications and walls, and started to wear jewellery and gold, built houses, “molested the earth by digging into it formetals”, and invaded the sea and the air (killing animals, fish and birds), in what he described as a “slaughter and all-various gore, pursuing gratification of thebody”. Humans became unhappy and, to compensate, sought wealth, “fearing poverty...dreading death...neglecting the care of life...They blamed base actionsbut did not abstain from them and “the hated to live, but dreaded to die”.He then contrasts the two lives – that of the original Garden and of the “second life” hehas just described and asks, which man would not choose the first, who “knows that by the change he shall be liberated from a multitude of evils” and what hecalls “a dreadful prison of unhappy men, confined to a dreadful prison of unhappy men, confined in a dark recess, with large iron fetters round their feet, a greatweight about their neck…passing their time in filth, in torment, and in weeping”. He asks, “Which of these images shall we proclaim blessed”? He goes on topraise Diogenes of Sinopeus, the Cynic, for choosing his ascetic life, but only because he avoided the often fearful fates of other philosophers – such as Socratesbeing condemned. But there is no mention of he himself taking up the ascetic life himself; rather he only talks about how the Garden would be preferable to thelife mankind has made for itself. So it is unlikely he was a Cynic, but was just envious of that idealised pre-civilisation Life in the Garden.Maximus of Tyre must bedistinguished from the Stoic Claudius Maximus, tutor of Marcus Aurelius.Ancient Greek TextMaximus Tyrius, Philosophumena, Dialexeis - Edited by GeorgeLeonidas Koniaris, Publisher Walter de Gruyter, 1995, DOI: https://doi.org/10.1515/9783110882568 - this critical edition presents the Ancient Greek text ofMaximus of Tyre.TranslationsTaylor, Thomas, The Dissertations of Maximus Tyrius.

He was subsequently active in Paris where he is presumed to haveworked for the court. Thereafter he is recorded for a while in Brussels before moving to Antwerp. Here he was active from 1661 to 1687.He became a master inAntwerp's Guild of Saint Luke in 1662 and was its dean in 1674. He was also appointed a director of the Academy of Antwerp.He married in 1662 with the painterMaria van Uden who was the daughter of the landscape painter Lucas van Uden. After her death in 1665, he began a relationship with her sister Anna. In 1670he married Anna Cleymans. Their children were the painters Jan Andreas (also called Jan Baptist) and Jan Karel Biset. He enjoyed the patronage of JuanDomingo de Zuñiga y Fonseca, Count of Monterrey, and later the Governor of the Habsburg Netherlands for whom he may have worked on a quasi-exclusive basisfor a while.In 1687 he is recorded in Breda. It is possible he stayed there for the rest of his life while visiting Antwerp occasionally.

He arrived in Piraeus with ten galleys later that year, but Manfred had died and was succeeded by another brother, William II. In the year ofhis arrival, Fadrique married Marulla, the daughter of Boniface of Verona, thus allying himself with the chief lord of Euboea. By this marriage, also, he acquiredrights to the castles of Larmena, Karystos, Zetouni, and Gardiki.Over the next two years, Fadrique warred with the Republic of Venice and stormed the city ofNegroponte with Turks after Boniface of Verona died.

He was the third son of Peter III of Aragon andserved in the War of the Sicilian Vespers on behalf of his father and brothers, Alfonso ΙΙΙ and James ΙΙ. He was confirmed as king by the Peace of Caltabellotta in1302. His reign saw important constitutional reforms: the Constitutiones regales, Capitula alia, and Ordinationes generales.NameAlthough the second Frederick ofSicily, he chose to call himself \"Frederick III\" (being one of the rare medieval monarchs who actually used a regnal number) – presumably because only some fiftyyears before, his well-known and remembered great-grandfather had ruled Sicily and also used an official ordinal: Fridericus secundus, imperator etc.. Thus,Fridericus tertius was better in line with the precedent of his ancestor's ordinal. However, an anecdote attributes Frederick's choice of numeral to him being thethird son of Peter. The next man called Frederick to occupy the Sicilian throne was dubbed by later generations of historians as Frederick III: Frederick III theSimple, though he himself did not use an ordinal.BiographyEarly yearsFrederick was born in BarcelonaWhen his father died in 1285, he left the Kingdom ofAragon to his eldest son, Alfonso, and that of Sicily to his second son, James. When Alfonso died in 1291, James became king of Aragon and left Frederick asregent in Sicily. The war between the Angevins, who contested the title to Sicily from their peninsular possessions centred on Naples (the so-called Kingdom ofNaples), and the Crown of Aragon for the possession of the island was still in progress, and although the Crown of Aragon was successful in Italy, James’ positionin Spain became very insecure due to internal troubles and French attacks. Peace negotiations were begun with Charles II of Naples, but were interrupted by thesuccessive deaths of two popes. At last, under the auspices of Pope Boniface VIII, James concluded a shameful treaty, by which, in exchange for being leftundisturbed in the rest of the territories belonging to the Crown of Aragon and promised possession of Sardinia and Corsica, he gave up Sicily to the Church, forwhom it was to be held by the Angevins (Treaty of Anagni, 10 June 1295). The Sicilians refused to be made over once more to the hated French they had expelledin 1282 (in the Sicilian Vespers), and found a national leader in the regent Frederick. In vain the pope tried to bribe him with promises and dignities; he wasdetermined to stand by his subjects, and was crowned king by the nobles at Palermo in 1296.When Frederick heard that James was preparing to go to war withhim, he sent a messenger, Mountainer Pérez de Sosa, to Catalonia in an effort to stir up the barons and cities against James in 1298. Mountainer carried with himan Occitan poem, Ges per guerra no.m chal aver consir, intended as a communication with his supporters in Catalonia. This communiqué seems to have had inmind Ponç Hug as a recipient, for the count penned a response (under the title con d'Empuria), A l'onrat rei Frederic terz vai dir, in which he praised Frederick'stact and diplomacy, but told him bluntly that he would not abandon his sovereign. This poetic transaction is usually dated to January–March, Spring, or August1296, but Gerónimo Zurita in the seventeenth century specifically dated the embassy of Mountainer to 1298.ReignFrederick reformed the administration andextended the powers of the Sicilian parliament, which was composed of the barons, the prelates, and the representatives of the towns.His refusal to comply withthe pope's injunctions led to a renewal of the war. Frederick landed in Calabria, where he seized several towns, encouraged revolt in Naples, negotiated with theGhibellines of Tuscany and Lombardy, and assisted the house of Colonna against Pope Boniface. In the meanwhile James, who received many favours from theChurch, married his sister Yolanda to Robert, the third son of Charles II. Unfortunately for Frederick, a part of the Catalan-Aragonese nobles of Sicily favouredKing James, and both John of Procida and Roger of Lauria, the heroes of the war of the Vespers, went over to the Angevins, and the latter completely defeatedthe Sicilian fleet off Capo d'Orlando. Charles's sons Robert and Philip landed in Sicily, but after capturing Catania were defeated by Frederick, Philip being takenprisoner (1299), while several Calabrian towns were captured by the Sicilians.For two years more the fighting continued with varying success, until Charles ofValois, who had been sent by Boniface to invade Sicily, was forced to sue for peace, his army being decimated by the plague. In August 1302 the Treaty ofCaltabellotta was signed, by which Frederick was recognized king of Trinacria (the name Sicily was not to be used) for his lifetime, and was to marry Eleanor of"} +{"doc_id":"doc_138","qid":"","text":"Passage 1:Mona Hopton BellMona Hopton Bell (1867–1940) was a British artist, best known for her portraits of civic figures.She was the grandmother of the painter Jean H.

Her two favourite grandsons were the twin sons Amr and Abd Shams, of ‘Ātikah bint Murrah.

She is believed to have died in around 1375 BC in her early to mid 50s.ChildrenYuya and Thuya had a daughter named Tiye, who became the Great Royal Wife of Pharaoh Amenhotep III. The great royal wife was the highest Egyptian religious position, serving alongside of the pharaoh in official ceremonies and rituals.Yuya and Thuya also had a son named Anen, who carried the titles Chancellor of Lower Egypt, Second Prophet of Amun, sm-priest of Heliopolis and Divine Father.They also may have been the parents of Ay, an Egyptian courtier active during the reign of pharaoh Akhenaten who became pharaoh after the death of Tutankhamun. However, there is no conclusive evidence regarding the kinship of Yuya and Ay, although certainly, both men came from Akhmim.TombThuya was interred in tomb KV46 in the Valley of the Kings, together with her husband Yuya, where their largely intact burial was found in 1905. It was the best-preserved tomb discovered in the Valley before that of Tutankhamun, Thuya's great-grandson. The tomb was discovered by a team of workmen led by archaeologist James Quibell on behalf of the American millionaire Theodore M. Davis. Though the tomb had been robbed in antiquity, much of its contents were still present, including beds, boxes, chests, a chariot, and the sarcophagi, coffins, and mummies of the two occupants.Thuya's large gilded and black-painted wooden sarcophagus was placed against the south wall of the tomb. It is rectangular, with a lid shaped like the sloping roof of the per-wer shrine of Upper Egypt, and sits on ornamental sledge runners, their non-functionality underscored by the three battens attached below them. Ancient robbers had partially dismantled it to access her coffins and mummy, placing its lid and one long side on a bed on the other side of the tomb; the other long side had been leaned against the south wall. Her outer gilded anthropoid coffin had been removed, its lid placed atop the beds, and the trough put into the far corner of the tomb; the lid of her second (innermost) coffin, also gilded, had been removed and placed to one side although the trough and her mummy remained inside the sarcophagus. Quibell suggests this is due to the robbers having some difficulty in removing the lid of this coffin.MummyThuya's mummified body was found covered with a large sheet of linen, knotted at the back and secured by four bandages. These bands were covered with resin and opposite each band were her gilded titles cut from gold foil. The resin coating on the lower layers of bandages preserved the impression of a large broad collar. The mummy bands that had once covered her wrapped mummy were recovered above the storage jars on the far side of the room.The first examination of her body was conducted by Australian anatomist Grafton Elliot Smith. He found her to be an elderly woman of small stature, 1.495 metres (4.90 ft) in height, with white hair. Both of her earlobes had two piercings. Her arms are straight at her sides with her hands against the outside of her thighs. Her embalming incision is stitched with thread, to which a carnelian barrel bead is attached at the lower end; her body cavity is stuffed with resin-soaked linen. When Dr. Douglas Derry, (who later conducted the first examination of Tutankhamun's mummy) assisting Smith in his examination, exposed Thuya's feet to get an accurate measurement of her height, he found her to be wearing gold foil sandals. Smith estimated her age at more than 50 years based on her outward appearance alone. Recent CT scanning has estimated her age at death to be 50–60 years old. Her brain was removed, though no embalming material was inserted, and both nostrils were stuffed with linen. Embalming packs had been placed into her eye sockets, and subcutaneous filling had been placed into her mid and lower face to restore a lifelike appearance; embalming material had also been placed into her mouth and throat. Her teeth were in poor condition at the time of her death, with missing molars. Heavy wear and abscesses had been noted in earlier x-rays. The scan revealed that she had severe scoliosis with a Cobb angle of 25 degrees. No cause of death could be determined. Her mummy has the inventory number CG 51191.Archaeological items pertaining to ThuyaPassage 4:Hannah ArnoldHannah Arnold may refer to:Hannah Arnold (née Waterman) (c.1705–1758), mother of Benedict ArnoldHannah Arnold (beauty queen) (born 1996), Filipino-Australian model and beauty pageant titleholderPassage 5:Diana GuardatoDiana Guardato was a member of the aristocratic Patrician Guardato family. She had at least two children with King Ferdinand I. Her first child was Ferdinando d' Aragona y Guardato, 1st Duke of Montalto who married 1st, Anna Sanseverino, 2nd, Castellana de Cardona whose daughter Maria d'Aragona, married Antonio Todeschini Piccolomini, Duke of Amalfi, a nephew of Pope Pius II and brother of Pope Pius III.Her second child was Giovanna d’ Aragona, who married Leonardo della Rovere, Duke of Arce and Sora, a nephew of Pope Sixtus IV and brother of Pope Julius II.Passage 6:Anne DenmanAnne Denman (1587–1661) was born in Olde Hall, Retford, Nottinghamshire. Through a second marriage with Thomas Aylesbury, she became the grandmother of Lady Anne Hyde, Duchess of York and great-grandmother of Queen Mary II and Queen Anne.Early lifeAnne was born in Olde Hall, West Retford in around 1587. She was the younger daughter of Francis Denman of Retford and Anne (Blount) Denman. Francis (born c. 1531, died 1599) was the rector of West Retford, Notts from 1578. He was the second son of Anne Hercy by her first husband, Nicholas Denman esq of East Retford, Notts. Francis had several sons who pre-deceased him and left two daughters as his heirs: Barbara (born c. 1583) who married Edward Darell (born c. 1582); and Anne.Anne's nephew, Dr John Darrell, was the youngest child of Barbara Denman and Edward Darell, and inherited substantial properties from both the Denman and Darell families. In 1665 just before his death he made a will dividing his estate between three charities. He donated the childhood home of Anne and Barbara, Olde Hall, to create a hospital for elderly men (an alms house), which became the site for Trinity Hospital, Retford (a Grade II listed building).MarriagesAnne was married at 20 and left a widow at 23 after the death of her first husband William, the younger son of Sir Thomas Darell. William was the half-brother of her sister Barbara's husband Edward.Anne left Retford due to some unknown trouble, or loss of fortune, in 1610 and proceeded to London by waggon-coach. Wilmshurst (1908) records that there had been a lawsuit between the two sisters in 1605.After reaching London, Anne is said to have halted at a hostel called the 'Goat and Compasses', where she rested before looking out for an occupation suitable for a country lady of good birth and family. The owner (not the landlord) of the hostel was Mr Thomas Aylesbury, a rich brewer of the Parish of St Andrew's, Holborn who happened to be making an inspection of his 'Houses' and required a housekeeper for his household, engaging Anne to this position. Thomas was a widower of 34, and a year later made Anne an offer of marriage.The marriage of Anne and Thomas was recorded in the Bishop of London's Registry, dated 3 October 1611, giving the couple's address as St Andrew's, Holborn. The registry notes that the marriage has 'the consent of his father, William Aylesbury, Esquire'. She is described in the register as 'Anne Darell, of the City of London, widow, whose husband died a year before'. Edwin Wilmshurst (1908) notes that Anne's first husband, William Darrel is described as 'of London', and apparently died there. He says this suggests Anne 'may have become acquainted with Mr Thomas Aylesbury before she became so young a widow and he a widower'. He also comments that on 17 April 1611, there was a partition of Estate between Edward Darrel and Barbara his wife, and her sister Anne, by an Indenture. This took place while she was working for Thomas Aylesbury but before she married him.Marrying Thomas was fortunate for Anne, as in 1627, he was created a Baronet, Master of the Mint, and Master of the Requests, by Charles I. After the King's death, the family moved to Antwerp with other Royalists. During this time in exile, Barbara, Anne's daughter died. Lady Anne Hyde, Duchess of York, and granddaughter of Anne Denman, later noted in her pocket book that her aunt Barbara died in Antwerp in 1652 and unmarried. 'My dear Aunt Bab was, when she died, 24 years of age.' Barbara, when in exile in Holland, was attached to the then Princess "} +{"doc_id":"doc_139","qid":"","text":"Passage 1:Donnie ElbertDonnie Elbert (May 25, 1936 – January 26, 1989) was an American soul singer and songwriter, who had a prolific career from themid-1950s to the late 1970s. His U.S. hits included \"Where Did Our Love Go?\" (1971), and his reputation as a Northern soul artist in the UK was secured by \"ALittle Piece of Leather\", a performance highlighting his powerful falsetto voice.CareerElbert was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, but when aged three his familyrelocated to Buffalo, New York. He learned to play guitar and piano as a child, and in 1955 formed a doo-wop group, the Vibraharps, with friend Danny Cannon.Elbert acted as the group's guitarist, songwriter, arranger, and background vocalist, making his recording debut on their single \"Walk Beside Me\". He left thegroup in 1957 for a solo career, and recorded a demonstration record that earned him a recording contract with the King label's DeLuxe subsidiary. His solo debut\"What Can I Do?\" reached #12 in the U.S. R&B chart, and he followed it up with the less successful \"Believe It or Not\" and \"Have I Sinned?\", which became aregional hit in Pittsburgh.He continued to release singles on DeLuxe, but with little commercial success, and also played New York's Apollo Theater and toured theChitlin' Circuit of African-American owned nightclubs. After completing an album, The Sensational Donnie Elbert Sings, he left DeLuxe in 1959, joining first RedTop Records, where in 1960 he recorded \"Someday (You'll Want Me to Want You)\", and then Vee-Jay Records, where he had another regional hit with \"Will YouEver Be Mine?\", which reportedly sold 250,000 copies in the Philadelphia area but failed to take off nationwide. His career was also interrupted by a spell in the USArmy, from which he was discharged in 1961. He then recorded singles for several labels, including Parkway, Cub and Checker, but with little success. However,although the 1965 Gateway label release of \"A Little Piece of Leather\" failed to chart in the US, the record became a #27 pop hit when released on the Londonlabel in the UK several years later in 1972, and remains a Northern soul favorite.Elbert relocated to the UK in 1966, where he married. There, he recorded \"InBetween The Heartaches\" for the Polydor label in 1968, a cover version of the Supremes' hit \"Where Did Our Love Go?\" and an album of Otis Redding coverversions, Tribute To A King. His 1969 Deram release \"Without You\" had a rocksteady rhythm, and went to the top of the Jamaican charts.He returned to the USthe same year and had his first US chart hit in over a decade with the Rare Bullet release, \"Can't Get Over Losing You\", which reached #26 on the Billboard R&Bchart. The track and its b-side, \"Got To Get Myself Together\", both written by Elbert, were released several times on different labels in subsequent years. Afterthe success of that record, Elbert moved labels for a re-make of the Supremes' 1964 hit, \"Where Did Our Love Go?\" on All Platinum. It became his biggest hit,reaching #15 on the Billboard pop chart, #6 on the R&B chart, and (in 1972) #8 in the UK. Its follow-up, \"Sweet Baby\" reached #30 on the R&B chart in early1972.Elbert then signed with Avco-Embassy, where he entered the recording studio with the successful production team of Hugo & Luigi. His cover of the FourTops' \"I Can't Help Myself\" reached #14 on the Billboard R&B chart, but climbed as high as #2 on the alternative Cashbox R&B chart. Elbert baulked at the label'sinsistence that he record material associated with Motown and departed with only a few tracks left to record for an album. Even so, the album was released afterAvco sold it on to a budget label, Trip.He returned to All Platinum and had a run of minor R&B hits, but left after a disagreement over the claimed authorship ofShirley & Company's R&B chart-topper \"Shame Shame Shame\", which was credited to label owner Sylvia Robinson. Elbert was also involved in a copyrightwrangle over Darrell Banks' major R&B and pop hit in 1966, \"Open The Door To Your Heart\". He had originally written the song as \"Baby Walk Right In\" (still itsalternative legal title) and given it to Banks, but received no writing credit on the original record. Eventually, the matter was resolved by BMI with a disgruntledElbert awarded joint authorship with Banks. \"Open The Door\" has since been given award-winning status by BMI and is one of over 100 songs written orco-written by Elbert.For 1975's \"You Keep Me Crying (With Your Lying)\", Elbert formed his own label and \"I Got to Get Myself Together\", appeared on an imprintbearing his surname, but it was among his final recordings.By the mid-1980s, Elbert had retired from performing and became director of A&R for Polygram'sCanadian division. He suffered a massive stroke and died in 1989, at the age of 52.DiscographyChart singlesAlbumsThe Sensational Donnie Elbert Sings (King,1959)Tribute to a King (1968)Where Did Our Love Go?

She married JamesScullin at St Patrick's Cathedral, Ballarat, on 11 November 1907. The couple had no children.Public lifeScullin accompanied her husband on his electioncampaigns, but did not make speeches herself. According to his biographer John Robertson, she was \"significant politically in an indirect manner, for she provideda serene domestic haven as a base for her husband's political activities\". When her husband became prime minister in 1929, the couple chose to live in the HotelCanberra rather than The Lodge, as an economy during the Great Depression. She nursed him during his bouts of ill health, and during the four-hour \"sickroomcabinet\" meeting of August 1930 \"stood guard at the door, refusing entrance to all unwanted visitors\".Later lifeScullin was widowed in January 1953. Her husbandhad been seriously ill and frequently bed-ridden for about two years, during which she was his primary caregiver. She died at their house on Park Avenue, Kew, inMay 1962, aged 82.

He was the director of the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem for 17 months, resigning December 31,2020. He was the director of the Toledo Museum of Art in Ohio from 2010 to 2019. He was the director of the Hood Museum of Art from 2005 to 2010, and theNational Gallery of Australia (Canberra) from 1997 to 2004.CareerBrian Kennedy currently lives and works in the United States after leaving Australia in 2005 todirect the Hood Museum of Art at Dartmouth College. In October 2010 he became the ninth Director of the Toledo Museum of Art. On 1 July 2019, he succeededDan Monroe as the executive director and CEO of the Peabody Essex Museum.Early life and career in IrelandKennedy was born in Dublin and attended ClonkeenCollege. He received B.A. (1982), M.A. (1985) and PhD (1989) degrees from University College-Dublin, where he studied both art history and history.He workedin the Irish Department of Education (1982), the European Commission, Brussels (1983), and in Ireland at the Chester Beatty Library (1983–85), GovernmentPublications Office (1985–86), and Department of Finance (1986–89). He married Mary Fiona Carlin in 1988.He was Assistant Director at the National Gallery ofIreland in Dublin from 1989 to 1997. He was Chair of the Irish Association of Art Historians from 1996 to 1997, and of the Council of Australian Art MuseumDirectors from 2001 to 2003. In September 1997 he became Director of the National Gallery of Australia.National Gallery of Australia (NGA)Kennedy expandedthe traveling exhibitions and loans program throughout Australia, arranged for several major shows of Australian art abroad, increased the number of exhibitionsat the museum itself and oversaw the development of an extensive multi-media site. Although he oversaw several years of the museum's highest ever annualvisitation, he discontinued the emphasis of his predecessor, Betty Churcher, on showing \"blockbuster\" exhibitions.During his directorship, the NGA gainedgovernment support for improving the building and significant private donations and corporate sponsorship. However, the initial design for the building provedcontroversial generating a public dispute with the original architect on moral rights grounds. As a result, the project was not delivered during Dr Kennedy'stenure, with a significantly altered design completed some years later. Private funding supported two acquisitions of British art, including David Hockney's ABigger Grand Canyon in 1999, and Lucian Freud's After Cézanne in 2001. Kennedy built on the established collections at the museum by acquiring theHolmgren-Spertus collection of Indonesian textiles; the Kenneth Tyler collection of editioned prints, screens, multiples and unique proofs; and the Australian PrintWorkshop Archive. He was also notable for campaigning for the construction of a new \"front\" entrance to the Gallery, facing King Edward Terrace, which wascompleted in 2010 (see reference to the building project above).Kennedy's cancellation of the \"Sensation exhibition\" (scheduled at the NGA from 2 June 2000 to13 August 2000) was controversial, and seen by some as censorship. He claimed that the decision was due to the exhibition being \"too close to the market\"implying that a national cultural institution cannot exhibit the private collection of a speculative art investor. However, there were other exhibitions at the NGAduring his tenure, which could have raised similar concerns. The exhibition featured the privately owned Young British Artists works belonging to Charles Saatchiand attracted large attendances in London and Brooklyn. Its most controversial work was Chris Ofili's The Holy Virgin Mary, a painting which used elephant dungand was accused of being blasphemous. The then-mayor of New York, Rudolph Giuliani, campaigned against the exhibition, claiming it was \"Catholic-bashing\" andan \"aggressive, vicious, disgusting attack on religion.\" In November 1999, Kennedy cancelled the exhibition and stated that the events in New York had \"obscureddiscussion of the artistic merit of the works of art\". He has said that it \"was the toughest decision of my professional life, so far.\"Kennedy was also repeatedlyquestioned on his management of a range of issues during the Australian Government's Senate Estimates process - particularly on the NGA's occupational healthand safety record and concerns about the NGA's twenty-year-old air-conditioning system. The air-conditioning was finally renovated in 2003. Kennedy announcedin 2002 that he would not seek extension of his contract beyond 2004, accepting a seven-year term as had his two predecessors.He became a jointIrish-Australian citizen in 2003.Toledo Museum of ArtThe Toledo Museum of Art is known for its exceptional collections of European and American paintings andsculpture, glass, antiquities, artist books, Japanese prints and netsuke. The museum offers free admission and is recognized for its historical leadership in the fieldof art education. During his tenure, Kennedy has focused the museum's art education efforts on visual literacy, which he defines as \"learning to read, understandand write visual language.\" Initiatives have included baby and toddler tours, specialized training for all staff, docents, volunteers and the launch of a website,www.vislit.org. In November 2014, the museum hosted the International Visual Literacy Association (IVLA) conference, the first Museum to do so. Kennedy hasbeen a frequent speaker on the topic, including 2010 and 2013 TEDx talks on visual and sensory literacy.Kennedy has expressed an interest in expanding themuseum's collection of contemporary art and art by indigenous peoples. Works by Frank Stella, Sean Scully, Jaume Plensa, Ravinder Reddy and Mary Sibandehave been acquired. In addition, the museum has made major acquisitions of Old Master paintings by Frans Hals and Luca Giordano.During his tenure the ToledoMuseum of Art has announced the return of several objects from its collection due to claims the objects were stolen and/or illegally exported prior being sold tothe museum. In 2011 a Meissen sweetmeat stand was returned to Germany followed by an Etruscan Kalpis or water jug to Italy (2013), an Indian sculpture ofGanesha (2014) and an astrological compendium to Germany in 2015.Hood Museum of ArtKennedy became Director of the Hood Museum of Art in July 2005.During his tenure, he implemented a series of large and small-scale exhibitions and oversaw the production of more than 20 publications to bring greater publicattention to the museum's remarkable collections of the arts of America, Europe, Africa, Papua New Guinea and the Polar regions. At 70,000 objects, the Hoodhas one of the largest collections on any American college of university campus. The exhibition, Black Womanhood: Images, Icons, and Ideologies of the AfricanBody, toured several US venues. Kennedy increased campus curricular use of works of art, with thousands of objects pulled from storage for classes annually.Numerous acquisitions were made with the museum's generous endowments, and he curated several exhibitions: including Wenda Gu: Forest of Stone Steles:Retranslation and Rewriting Tang Dynasty Poetry, Sean Scully: The Art of the Stripe, and Frank Stella: Irregular Polygons.PublicationsKennedy has written oredited a number of books on art, including:Alfred Chester Beatty and Ireland 1950-1968: A study in cultural politics, Glendale Press (1988), ISBN978-0-907606-49-9Dreams and responsibilities: The state and arts in independent Ireland, Arts Council of Ireland (1990), ISBN 978-0-906627-32-7Jack B Yeats:Jack Butler Yeats, 1871-1957 (Lives of Irish Artists), Unipub (October 1991), ISBN 978-0-948524-24-0The Anatomy Lesson: Art and Medicine (with DavisCoakley), National Gallery of Ireland (January 1992), ISBN 978-0-903162-65-4Ireland: Art into History (with Raymond Gillespie), Roberts Rinehart Publishers(1994), ISBN 978-1-57098-005-3Irish Painting, Roberts Rinehart Publishers (November 1997), ISBN 978-1-86059-059-7Sean Scully: The Art of the Stripe,Hood Museum of Art (October 2008), ISBN 978-0-944722-34-3Frank Stella: Irregular Polygons, 1965-1966, Hood Museum of Art (October 2010), ISBN978-0-944722-39-8Honors and achievementsKennedy was awarded the Australian Centenary Medal in 2001 for service to Australian Society and its art.

He is widely regarded as one of the great military commanders of the Middle Ages. He took part in theFourth Crusade and was one of the prominent figures of the Albigensian Crusade. Montfort is mostly noted for his campaigns in the latter, notably for his triumphat Muret. He died at the Siege of Toulouse in 1218. He was lord of Montfort-l'Amaury from 1188 to his death and Earl of Leicester in England from 1204. He wasalso Viscount of Albi, Béziers and Carcassonne from 1213, as well as Count of Toulouse from 1215.Early lifeHe was the son of Simon de Montfort (d. 1188), lord ofMontfort l'Amaury in France near Paris, and Amicia de Beaumont, daughter of Robert de Beaumont, 3rd Earl of Leicester. He succeeded his father as lord ofMontfort in 1181; in 1190 he married Alix de Montmorency, the daughter of Bouchard III de Montmorency. She shared his religious zeal and would accompanyhim on his campaigns.In 1199, while taking part in a tournament at Ecry-sur-Aisne, he took the cross in the company of Count Thibaud de Champagne and wenton the Fourth Crusade. The crusade soon fell under Venetian control, and was diverted to Zara on the Adriatic Sea. Pope Innocent III had specifically warned theCrusaders not to attack fellow Christians; Simon opposed the attack and urged a waiting Zara delegation not to surrender, claiming the Frankish troops would notsupport the Venetians in this. As a result, the delegation returned to Zara and the city resisted. Since most Frankish lords were in debt to the Venetians, they didsupport the attack and the city was sacked in 1202. Simon did not participate in this action and was one of its most outspoken critics. He and his associates,including Abbot Guy of Vaux-de-Cernay, left the crusade when the decision was taken to divert once more to Constantinople to place Alexius IV Angelus on thethrone. Instead, Simon and his followers travelled to the court of King Emeric of Hungary and thence to Acre.His mother was the eldest daughter of Robert ofBeaumont, 3rd Earl of Leicester. After the death of her brother Robert de Beaumont, 4th Earl of Leicester without children in 1204, she inherited half of hisestates and a claim to the Earldom of Leicester. The division of the estates was effected early in 1207, by which the rights to the earldom were assigned to Amiciaand Simon. However, King John of England took possession of the lands himself in February 1207, and confiscated its revenues. Later, in 1215, the lands werepassed into the hands of Simon's cousin, Ranulph de Meschines, 4th Earl of Chester.Later lifeSimon remained on his estates in France before taking the crossonce more, this time against Christian dissidence. He participated in the initial campaign of the Albigensian Crusade in 1209, and after the fall of Carcassonne,was elected leader of the crusade and viscount of the confiscated territories of the Raymond-Roger Trencavel family.Simon was rewarded with the territoryconquered from Raymond VI of Toulouse, which in theory made him the most important landowner in Occitania. He became feared for his ruthlessness. In 1210he burned 140 Cathars in the village of Minerve who refused to recant – though he spared those who did. In another widely reported incident, prior to the sack ofthe village of Lastours, he brought prisoners from the nearby village of Bram and had their eyes gouged out and their ears, noses and lips cut off. One prisoner,left with a single good eye, led them into the village as a warning.Simon's part in the crusade had the full backing of his feudal superior, the King of France, PhilipAugustus. However, historian Alistair Horne, in his book Seven Ages of Paris, states that Philip \"turned a blind eye to Simon de Montfort's crusade... of which hedisapproved, but readily accepted the spoils to his exchequer\". Following the latter's success in winning Normandy from John Lackland of England, he wasapproached by Innocent III to lead the crusade but turned this down. He was heavily committed to defending his gains against John and against the emergingalliance among England, the Empire and Flanders.However, Philip claimed full rights over the lands of the house of St Gilles; some historians believe his dispatchof de Montfort and other northern barons to be, at the very least, an exploratory campaign to reassert the rights of the French Crown in Le Midi. Philip may wellalso have wanted to appease the papacy after the long dispute over his marriage, which had led to excommunication. He also sought to counter any adventure byKing John of England, who had marriage and fealty ties also with the Toulouse comtal house. Meanwhile, others have assessed Philip's motives to includeremoving over-mighty subjects from the North, and distracting them in adventure elsewhere, so they could not threaten his increasingly successful restoration ofthe power of the French crown in the north.Simon is described as a man of unflinching religious orthodoxy, deeply committed to the Dominican order and thesuppression of heresy. Dominic Guzman, later Saint Dominic, spent several years during the war in the Midi at Fanjeau, which was Simon's headquarters,especially in the winter months when the crusading forces were depleted. Simon had other key confederates in this enterprise, which many historians view as aconquest of southern lands by greedy men from the north. Many of them had been involved in the Fourth Crusade. One was Guy Vaux de Cernay, head of aCistercian abbey not more than twenty miles from Simon's patrimony of Montfort Aumary, who accompanied the crusade in the Languedoc and became bishop ofCarcassonne. Meanwhile, Peter de Vaux de Cernay, the nephew of Guy, wrote an account of the crusade. Historians generally consider this to be propaganda tojustify the actions of the crusaders; Peter justified their cruelties as doing \"the work of God\" against morally depraved heretics. He portrayed outrages committedby the lords of the Midi as the opposite.Simon was an energetic campaigner, rapidly moving his forces to strike at those who had broken their faith with him – andthere were many, as some local lords switched sides whenever the moment seemed propitious. The Midi was a warren of small fortified places, as well as home tosome highly fortified cities, such as Toulouse, Carcassonne and Narbonne. Simon showed ruthlessness and daring as well as being particularly brutal with thosewho betrayed their pledges – as for example, Martin Algai, lord of Biron. In 1213 Simon defeated Peter II of Aragon at the Battle of Muret. This completed thedefeat of the Albigensians, but Simon carried on the campaign as a war of conquest. He was appointed lord over all the newly acquired territory as Count ofToulouse and Duke of Narbonne (1215). He spent two years in warfare in many parts of Raymond's former territories; he besieged Beaucaire, which had beentaken by Raymond VII of Toulouse, from 6 June 1216 to 24 August 1216.Raymond spent most of this period in the Crown of Aragon, but corresponded withsympathisers in Toulouse. There were rumours in September 1216 that he was on his way to Toulouse. Abandoning the siege of Beaucaire, Simon partially sackedToulouse, perhaps intended as punishment of the citizens. Raymond returned in October 1217 to take possession of Toulouse. Simon hastened to besiege thecity, meanwhile sending his wife, Alix de Montmorency, with bishop Foulques of Toulouse and others, to the French court to plead for support. After maintainingthe siege for nine months, Simon was killed on 25 June 1218 while combating a sally by the besieged. His head was smashed by a stone from a mangonel,operated, according to one source, by the donas e tozas e mulhers (\"ladies and girls and women\") of Toulouse. He was buried in the Cathedral of Saint-Nazaire atCarcassonne. His body was later moved by one of his sons to be reinterred at Montfort l'Amaury.

She is the grandmother of Akhenaten, and great grandmother of Tutankhamun.BiographyThuya is believed to be a descendant of QueenAhmose-Nefertari, and she held many official roles in the interwoven religion and government of ancient Egypt. She was involved in many religious cults; hertitles included 'Singer of Hathor' and 'Chief of the Entertainers' of both Amun and Min. She also held the influential offices of Superintendent of the Harem of thegod Min of Akhmin and of Amun of Thebes. She married Yuya, a powerful ancient Egyptian courtier of the Eighteenth Dynasty. She is believed to have died inaround 1375 BC in her early to mid 50s.ChildrenYuya and Thuya had a daughter named Tiye, who became the Great Royal Wife of Pharaoh Amenhotep III. Thegreat royal wife was the highest Egyptian religious position, serving alongside of the pharaoh in official ceremonies and rituals.Yuya and Thuya also had a sonnamed Anen, who carried the titles Chancellor of Lower Egypt, Second Prophet of Amun, sm-priest of Heliopolis and Divine Father.They also may have been theparents of Ay, an Egyptian courtier active during the reign of pharaoh Akhenaten who became pharaoh after the death of Tutankhamun. However, there is noconclusive evidence regarding the kinship of Yuya and Ay, although certainly, both men came from Akhmim.TombThuya was interred in tomb KV46 in the Valleyof the Kings, together with her husband Yuya, where their largely intact burial was found in 1905. It was the best-preserved tomb discovered in the Valley beforethat of Tutankhamun, Thuya's great-grandson. The tomb was discovered by a team of workmen led by archaeologist James Quibell on behalf of the Americanmillionaire Theodore M. Davis. Though the tomb had been robbed in antiquity, much of its contents were still present, including beds, boxes, chests, a chariot,and the sarcophagi, coffins, and mummies of the two occupants.Thuya's large gilded and black-painted wooden sarcophagus was placed against the south wall ofthe tomb. It is rectangular, with a lid shaped like the sloping roof of the per-wer shrine of Upper Egypt, and sits on ornamental sledge runners, theirnon-functionality underscored by the three battens attached below them. Ancient robbers had partially dismantled it to access her coffins and mummy, placing itslid and one long side on a bed on the other side of the tomb; the other long side had been leaned against the south wall. Her outer gilded anthropoid coffin hadbeen removed, its lid placed atop the beds, and the trough put into the far corner of the tomb; the lid of her second (innermost) coffin, also gilded, had beenremoved and placed to one side although the trough and her mummy remained inside the sarcophagus. Quibell suggests this is due to the robbers having somedifficulty in removing the lid of this coffin.MummyThuya's mummified body was found covered with a large sheet of linen, knotted at the back and secured by fourbandages. These bands were covered with resin and opposite each band were her gilded titles cut from gold foil. The resin coating on the lower layers ofbandages preserved the impression of a large broad collar. The mummy bands that had once covered her wrapped mummy were recovered above the storagejars on the far side of the room.The first examination of her body was conducted by Australian anatomist Grafton Elliot Smith. He found her to be an elderlywoman of small stature, 1.495 metres (4.90 ft) in height, with white hair. Both of her earlobes had two piercings. Her arms are straight at her sides with herhands against the outside of her thighs. Her embalming incision is stitched with thread, to which a carnelian barrel bead is attached at the lower end; her bodycavity is stuffed with resin-soaked linen. When Dr. Douglas Derry, (who later conducted the first examination of Tutankhamun's mummy) assisting Smith in hisexamination, exposed Thuya's feet to get an accurate measurement of her height, he found her to be wearing gold foil sandals. Smith estimated her age at morethan 50 years based on her outward appearance alone. Recent CT scanning has estimated her age at death to be 50–60 years old. Her brain was removed,though no embalming material was inserted, and both nostrils were stuffed with linen. Embalming packs had been placed into her eye sockets, and subcutaneousfilling had been placed into her mid and lower face to restore a lifelike appearance; embalming material had also been placed into her mouth and throat. Her teethwere in poor condition at the time of her death, with missing molars. Heavy wear and abscesses had been noted in earlier x-rays. The scan revealed that she hadsevere scoliosis with a Cobb angle of 25 degrees. No cause of death could be determined. Her mummy has the inventory number CG 51191.Archaeological itemspertaining to ThuyaPassage 2:Joan Holland, Duchess of BrittanyLady Joan Holland (1350 – October 1384) was Duchess of Brittany as the second wife of John IV,Duke of Brittany.

It was written by Colin Wellandand based on the French novel La Guerre des boutons, by Louis Pergaud. The story, about two rival boys' gangs in Ireland, the Ballys (working class) and theCarricks (middle class), is set in County Cork, where it was filmed on location.The film has been classified as a drama and comedy, and the tone is frequently lightand humorous. It examines issues of conflict and war, the actions and consequences of violence, and how it can divide and oppose people who can be friends aseasily as they can be enemies.PlotIn the Republic of Ireland in the 1960s, more precisely the centre of the bridge over the river that separates the Irish villages ofCarrickdowse and Ballydowse, there is a white line that few young people dare cross. The boys of each village spend most of their time trying to upstage theother, whether over the sale of hospital raffle tickets, or something more important, such as deciding who is a \"tosspot\" and who is not, or, for that matter,defining \"tosspot\". This \"War of the Buttons\", in which the buttons from the enemies clothes are captured, has gone on as long as the youths can remember, and\"to the death\", though rarely does either group hurt more than its pride.The leader of the Ballys is Fergus (Gregg Fitzgerald), the son of a pauper family and anunpromising student who lives in a trailer on the edge of Ballydowse with his mother and abusive stepfather. What Fergus lacks in education, he makes up for inleadership, and the youth of Ballydowse will follow him anywhere. The members of the Ballys include Marie (Eveanna Ryan), the narrator, who revisits hermemories of what happened from her adult viewpoint. The leader of the Carricks is Jerome (John Coffey), the son of a wealthy family. He is nicknamed Geronimoafter the Apache tribal chief.The story explores how events escalate, gang class differences (the original and main incentive for their war), Fergus's troubles withhis oppressive environment, conflicts that arise when the adults of the villages discover the feud, and conflicts within the Ballys. Their tactics to \"win\" the war,including a nude ambush of their enemies, are shown in great detail. After a series of battles, Fergus denounces Riley (Thomas Kavanagh) as a traitor to thecause before the final showdown which has the Ballys attacking an abandoned castle ruin defended by the Carricks. The Carricks lose, and, taken prisoner,Geronimo himself cuts off his buttons and gives them to Fergus. While the Ballys celebrate in their headquarters, Geronimo, driving Riley's father's tractor like atank, levels the Bally clubhouse. This puts a bitter end to the War of the Buttons.Finally fed up, the towns' adults, including Geronimo's father (Colm Meaney) andFergus' abusive stepfather (Jim Bartley), reclaim their children. Fergus runs off to the mountains, where Geronimo follows him in an unspoken gesture ofsolidarity. After being captured, the two boys are put in the church orphanage, where they put aside their differences and become best friends. Marie narrates thecoda, expressing that she married one of the boys, and that the other became the couple's closest friend, but she does not reveal whom she chose towed.CastLiam Cunningham as The MasterGregg Fitzgerald as FergusColm Meaney as Geronimo's DadGer Ryan as Fergus' MomBackgroundThe film's story isbased on the novel La Guerre des boutons, written by Louis Pergaud and published in 1912. Pergaud's popular book has been reprinted more than 30 times. Ithas been adapted as film for the first time in the French productions La Guerre des gosses (1936) (fr) and La Guerre des boutons (War of the Buttons, 1962), thelatter a black and white film directed by Yves Robert.The Irish screenplay was written by Colin Welland and the movie was directed by John Roberts. The producerDavid Puttnam and Welland had worked earlier on the Academy Award-winning Chariots of Fire. This was their second film together. The movie starred a youngAlan Maguire, the actor from Corofin, Co.

He was the director of the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem for17 months, resigning December 31, 2020. He was the director of the Toledo Museum of Art in Ohio from 2010 to 2019. He was the director of the Hood Museumof Art from 2005 to 2010, and the National Gallery of Australia (Canberra) from 1997 to 2004.CareerBrian Kennedy currently lives and works in the United Statesafter leaving Australia in 2005 to direct the Hood Museum of Art at Dartmouth College. In October 2010 he became the ninth Director of the Toledo Museum ofArt. On 1 July 2019, he succeeded Dan Monroe as the executive director and CEO of the Peabody Essex Museum.Early life and career in IrelandKennedy was bornin Dublin and attended Clonkeen College. He received B.A. (1982), M.A. (1985) and PhD (1989) degrees from University College-Dublin, where he studied bothart history and history.He worked in the Irish Department of Education (1982), the European Commission, Brussels (1983), and in Ireland at the Chester BeattyLibrary (1983–85), Government Publications Office (1985–86), and Department of Finance (1986–89). He married Mary Fiona Carlin in 1988.He was AssistantDirector at the National Gallery of Ireland in Dublin from 1989 to 1997. He was Chair of the Irish Association of Art Historians from 1996 to 1997, and of theCouncil of Australian Art Museum Directors from 2001 to 2003. In September 1997 he became Director of the National Gallery of Australia.National Gallery ofAustralia (NGA)Kennedy expanded the traveling exhibitions and loans program throughout Australia, arranged for several major shows of Australian art abroad,increased the number of exhibitions at the museum itself and oversaw the development of an extensive multi-media site. Although he oversaw several years ofthe museum's highest ever annual visitation, he discontinued the emphasis of his predecessor, Betty Churcher, on showing \"blockbuster\" exhibitions.During hisdirectorship, the NGA gained government support for improving the building and significant private donations and corporate sponsorship. However, the initialdesign for the building proved controversial generating a public dispute with the original architect on moral rights grounds. As a result, the project was notdelivered during Dr Kennedy's tenure, with a significantly altered design completed some years later. Private funding supported two acquisitions of British art,including David Hockney's A Bigger Grand Canyon in 1999, and Lucian Freud's After Cézanne in 2001. Kennedy built on the established collections at the museumby acquiring the Holmgren-Spertus collection of Indonesian textiles; the Kenneth Tyler collection of editioned prints, screens, multiples and unique proofs; andthe Australian Print Workshop Archive. He was also notable for campaigning for the construction of a new \"front\" entrance to the Gallery, facing King EdwardTerrace, which was completed in 2010 (see reference to the building project above).Kennedy's cancellation of the \"Sensation exhibition\" (scheduled at the NGAfrom 2 June 2000 to 13 August 2000) was controversial, and seen by some as censorship. He claimed that the decision was due to the exhibition being \"too closeto the market\" implying that a national cultural institution cannot exhibit the private collection of a speculative art investor. However, there were other exhibitionsat the NGA during his tenure, which could have raised similar concerns. The exhibition featured the privately owned Young British Artists works belonging toCharles Saatchi and attracted large attendances in London and Brooklyn. Its most controversial work was Chris Ofili's The Holy Virgin Mary, a painting which usedelephant dung and was accused of being blasphemous.

GrévilleEdmond T. Gréville (born Edmond Gréville Thonger; 20 June 1906 – 26 May 1966) was a French filmdirector and screenwriter. He was married to the actress Vanda Gréville.CareerGréville began his career as a film journalist and critic. In parallel with a few actingperformances in some silent films and in the first talkie of René Clair, Sous les toits de Paris (1930), he directed his first short films. His first experience ofdirecting had been on the shooting of Abel Gance's Napoléon in 1927. He had then worked as an assistant director, notably on the English film Piccadilly,L'Arlésienne (directed by Jacques de Baroncelli), Augusto Genina's Miss Europe (with Louise Brooks) and Abel Gance's La Fin du Monde.

W. Pabst's Mademoiselle Docteur. Gréville also directed Menaces (1938) with Mireille Balin and Erich von Stroheim,with von Stroheim playing an Austrian refugee who commits suicide following the Anschluss. With a heavy atmosphere charged with eroticism which characterizeshis films, Gréville imposed his independence and original style on the cinema of the time.He stopped directing films during the Second World War and theOccupation - xenophobia and anti-Semitism ruined or put a stop to some careers, among film-makers those of Léonide Moguy and Pierre Chenal for example,both French Jews, and the half-British Gréville, and took away production and distribution companies belonging to Jews like the father and son distributorsSiriztky.In 1948 he made a film on the subject of resistance and collaboration in the Anglo-Dutch film Niet tevergeefs/But Not in Vain. The same year he made afilm with Carole Landis, Noose, released in the U.S. as The Silk Noose. In House on the Waterfront (1954) he directed Jean Gabin as a captain confronted by anunscrupulous smuggler and torn by his love for a young woman who is also loved by a younger man.In Gréville's last years he made Beat Girl (1959) with AdamFaith and a horror film The Hands of Orlac (1960) with Mel Ferrer. His last film was L'Accident (1963) with Magali Noël based on a Frédéric David novel.PersonallifeGréville was born in June 1906 in Nice, France, the adopted son of Franco-British parents. In May 1966, he died in hospital in Nice, thought to be the result ofcomplications following a car accident. It was subsequently discovered through the 23andMe genetic testing of his daughter and grandson in 2017, that he wasAshkenazim Jewish, likely from the area of Odessa, based on the present whereabouts of his closest genetic relations today. Family speculation suggests that hisparents fled the 1905 Russian pogrom to Marseilles, where he may have been discovered in the Nice hospital his English father, a Salvation Army colonel andProtestant pastor, was associated with. His true origin and that of his biological parents, remains a mystery.Selected filmographyThe Train of Suicides (1931)TheTriangle of Fire (1932)Merchant of Love (1935)Gypsy Melody (1936)Brief Ecstasy (1937)Secret Lives (1937)What a Man!

Govan became closely involved with the museum, serving as actingcurator as an undergraduate. After receiving his B.A. from Williams in 1985, Govan began an MFA in fine arts from the University of California, SanDiego.CareerAs a twenty-five year old graduate student, Govan was recruited by his former mentor at Williams, Thomas Krens, who in 1988 had been appointeddirector of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation. Govan served as deputy director of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum under Krens from 1988 to 1994, aperiod that culminated in the construction and opening of the Frank Gehry designed Guggenheim branch in Bilbao, Spain. Govan supervised the reinstallation ofthe museum's permanent collection galleries after its extensive renovation.Dia Art FoundationFrom 1994 to 2006, Govan was president and director of Dia ArtFoundation in New York City. There, he spearheaded the conversion of a Nabisco box factory into the 300,000 square foot Dia:Beacon in New York's HudsonValley, which houses Dia's collection of art from the 1960s to the present. Built in a former Nabisco box factory, the critically acclaimed museum has beencredited with catalyzing a cultural and economic revival within the formerly factory-based city of Beacon.

Daly, recruited Govan torun the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Govan has stated that he was drawn to the role not only because of LACMA's geographical distance from its Europeanand east coast peers, but also because of the museum's relative youth, having been established in 1961. \"I felt that because of this newness I had theopportunity to reconsider the museum,\" Govan has written, \"[and] Los Angeles is a good place to do that.\"Govan has been widely regarded for transformingLACMA into both a local and international landmark. Since Govan's arrival, LACMA has acquired by donation or purchase over 27,000 works for the permanentcollection, and the museum's gallery space has almost doubled thanks to the addition of two new buildings designed by Renzo Piano, the Broad Contemporary ArtMuseum (BCAM) and the Lynda and Stewart Resnick Pavilion. LACMA's annual attendance has grown from 600,000 to nearly 1.6 million in 2016.ArtistcollaborationsSince his arrival, Govan has commissioned exhibition scenography and gallery designs in collaboration with artists.

He appeared on several television programs, including Seinfeld.EarlylifeSaluga was born on September 16, 1937 in Youngstown, Ohio. When Saluga was 10, his father was killed in an industrial accident at the Republic Steel Millwhere he worked and his mother supported the family by working as a bookkeeper. Saluga, known as \"Billy\" to his friends and family, was a high schoolcheerleader and class clown. After graduation, he served two years in the Navy and then began working as a performer in local theaters.CareerSaluga spentseveral years performing in Youngstown, Ohio theaters and clubs. He played numerous roles in notable productions, including Guys and Dolls and Inherit theWind. Saluga became a talent coordinator for the Steve Allen show in the late 1960s. in 1969, he created the \"Johnson\" character while a member of the comedictroupe Ace Trucking Company.Saluga's shtick as the character \"Johnson\" would be, when someone would refer to him as \"Mr. Johnson\" or by the common genericnickname \"Johnson,\" to exaggeratedly feign offense and list off all permutations of the name Raymond J. Johnson Jr. and nicknames thereof that do not mentionthe word \"Johnson:\"\"NOOO!!! You don't have to call me Johnson! My name is Raymond J. Johnson Jr. Now you can call me Ray, or you can call me J, or you cancall me Johnny, or you can call me Sonny, or you can call me Junie, or you can call me Junior; now you can call me Ray J, or you can call me RJ, or you can callme RJJ, or you can call me RJJ Jr. . . but you doesn't hasta call me Johnson!\" Saluga would then smugly turn away and begin puffing on his cigar. Saluga's routinereceived more widespread attention in the late 1970s after being used in a series of commercials for Miller Lite beer, and subsequently, in the early 1980s forAnheuser-Busch Natural Light beer. Saluga appeared alongside comedian/pitchman Norm Crosby echoing (in a roundabout way) Norm's advice to unknowingcustomers on how to more easily order the lengthily-named beer: \"Well, y'doesn't hasta call it Anheuser Busch Natural Light Beer, and y'doesn't hasta call it'Busch Natural.' Just say 'Natural!'\" Saluga then later launches into the \"You can call me Ray\" routine after Crosby warns not to ask Johnson his name.From 1977to 1978, Saluga appeared regularly as Raymond J. Johnson Jr. on Redd Foxx's eponymous variety show. Saluga as Johnson also made appearances on This IsTom Jones, Laugh-In and The David Steinberg Show. He also made appearances on Chuck Barris' The Gong Show during 1977 and 1978.A novelty disco singlecalled \"Dancin' Johnson,\" based around Johnson's schtick, was released in 1978. a 1978 episode of Good Times contained a scene where Keith (while intoxicated)recited \"You can call me Ray, or you can call me J\" which was at the height of its popularity for the saying.Bob Dylan referenced the \"you may call me\" schtick inhis 1979 hit, \"Gotta Serve Somebody,\" when he sings, \"You may call me Terry, you may call me Timmy / You may call me Bobby, you may call me Zimmy / Youmay call me R.J., you may call me Ray / You may call me anything, but no matter what you say / You’re gonna have to serve somebody.\" The idea for the verseoriginated from Jerry Wexler, who suggested it during the recording sessions for Slow Train Coming.The character's popularity is referenced in multiple episodesof The Simpsons, with Saluga appearing as himself in the 2002 episode \"The Old Man and the Key\". Saluga also appeared as Johnson in the 2010 King of the Hillepisode \"Just Another Manic Kahn-Day\".Death and legacySaluga died of cardiopulmonary arrest in Los Angeles on March 28, 2023, at the age of 85. Saluga'snephew, Scott Saluga, told the media that his uncle was living in Burbank, California at the time of his death. Saluga did not have any surviving immediate familymembers.Saluga told friends he didn't mind being typecast and known to the public as Raymond Johnson. Comedian David Steinberg said that \"Billy was alwaysdoing Ray J. He was relentless with it. I would say 'Mr. Johnson' and Billy would be off. He did it everywhere. At parties. His timing and delivery were so funnyevery time.\"In 2017, Saluga said that people never recognized him outside his character and that it gave him great pleasure hearing people perform his shtick inhis presence without knowing who he was.BibliographySaluga, Bill (1982).

He is the co-founder, leader, guitarist, second lead vocalist and principal songwriter of the Who, one of the mostinfluential rock bands of the 1960s and 1970s. Due to his aggressive playing style and innovative songwriting techniques, Townshend's works with the Who and inother projects have earned him critical acclaim.Townshend has written more than 100 songs for 12 of the Who's studio albums. These include concept albums,the rock operas Tommy (1969) and Quadrophenia (1973), plus popular rock radio staples such as Who's Next (1971); as well as dozens more that appeared asnon-album singles, bonus tracks on reissues, and tracks on rarities compilation albums such as Odds & Sods (1974). He has also written more than 100 songsthat have appeared on his solo albums, as well as radio jingles and television theme songs.While known primarily as a guitarist, Townshend also plays keyboards,banjo, accordion, harmonica, ukulele, mandolin, violin, synthesiser, bass guitar, and drums; he is self-taught on all of these instruments and plays on his ownsolo albums, several Who albums, and as a guest contributor to an array of other artists' recordings. Townshend has also contributed to and authored manynewspaper and magazine articles, book reviews, essays, books, and scripts, and he has collaborated as a lyricist and composer for many other musical acts. In1983, Townshend received the Brit Award for Lifetime Achievement and in 1990 he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of the Who.Townshend was ranked No. 3 in Dave Marsh's 1994 list of Best Guitarists in The New Book of Rock Lists. In 2001, he received a Grammy Lifetime AchievementAward as a member of the Who; and in 2008 he received Kennedy Center Honors. He was ranked No. 10 in Gibson.com's 2011 list of the top 50 guitarists, andNo. 10 in Rolling Stone's updated 2011 list of the 100 greatest guitarists of all time. He and Roger Daltrey received The George and Ira Gershwin Award forLifetime Musical Achievement at UCLA on 21 May 2016.Early life and educationTownshend was born in Chiswick, West London, at the Chiswick Hospital,Netheravon Road, in the UK. He came from a musical family: his father, Cliff Townshend, was a professional alto saxophonist in the Royal Air Force's dance bandthe Squadronaires and his mother, Betty (née Dennis), was a singer with the Sydney Torch and Les Douglass Orchestras. The Townshends had a volatilemarriage, as both drank heavily and possessed fiery tempers. Cliff Townshend was often away from his family touring with his band while Betty carried on affairswith other men. The two split when Townshend was a toddler and he was sent to live with his maternal grandmother Emma Dennis, whom Pete later described as\"clinically insane\". The two-year separation ended when Cliff and Betty purchased a house together on Woodgrange Avenue in middle-class Acton, and the youngPete was happily reunited with his parents. His neighbourhood was one-third Polish, and a devout Jewish family upstairs shared their housing with them andcooking with them—many of his father's closest friends were Jewish.Townshend says he did not have many friends growing up, so he spent much of his boyhoodreading adventure novels like Gulliver's Travels and Treasure Island. He enjoyed his family's frequent excursions to the seaside and the Isle of Man. It was on oneof these trips in the summer of 1956 that he repeatedly watched the 1956 film Rock Around the Clock, sparking his fascination with American rock and roll. Notlong thereafter, he went to see Bill Haley perform in London, Townshend's first concert. At the time, he did not see himself pursuing a career as a professionalmusician; instead, he wanted to become a journalist.Upon passing the eleven-plus exam, Townshend was enrolled at Acton County Grammar School. At ActonCounty, he was frequently bullied because he had a large nose, an experience that profoundly affected him. His grandmother Emma purchased his first guitar forChristmas in 1956, an inexpensive Spanish model. Though his father taught him a couple of chords, Townshend was largely self-taught on the instrument andnever learned to read music. Townshend and school friend John Entwistle formed a short-lived trad jazz group, the Confederates, featuring Townshend on banjoand Entwistle on horns. The Confederates played gigs at the Congo Club, a youth club run by the Acton Congregational Church, and covered Acker Bilk, KennyBall, and Lonnie Donegan. However, both became influenced by the increasing popularity of rock 'n' roll, with Townshend particularly admiring Cliff Richard'sdebut single, \"Move It\". Townshend left the Confederates after getting into a fight with the group's drummer, Chris Sherwin, and purchased a \"reasonably goodCzechoslovakian guitar\" at his mother's antique shop.Townshend's brothers Paul and Simon were born in 1957 and 1960, respectively. Lacking the requisitegrades to attend university, Pete was faced with the decision of art school, music school, or getting a job. He ultimately chose to study graphic design at EalingArt College, enrolling in 1961. At Ealing, Townshend studied alongside future Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood. Notable artists and designers gave lectures atthe college such as auto-destructive art pioneer Gustav Metzger. Townshend dropped out in 1964 to focus on music full-time.Musical career1961–1964: theDetoursIn late 1961, Entwistle joined the Detours, a skiffle/rock and roll band, led by Roger Daltrey. The new bass player then suggested Townshend join as anadditional guitarist. In the early days of the Detours, the band's repertoire consisted of instrumentals by the Shadows and the Ventures, as well as pop and tradjazz covers. Their lineup coalesced around Roger Daltrey on lead guitar, Townshend on rhythm guitar, Entwistle on bass, Doug Sandom on drums, and ColinDawson as vocalist. Daltrey was considered the leader of the group and, according to Townshend, \"ran things the way he wanted them.\" Dawson quit in 1962after arguing too much with Daltrey, who subsequently moved to lead vocalist. As a result, Townshend, with Entwistle's encouragement, became the soleguitarist. Through Townshend's mother, the group obtained a management contract with local promoter Robert Druce, who started booking the band as a supportact for bands including Screaming Lord Sutch, Cliff Bennett and the Rebel Rousers, Shane Fenton and the Fentones, and Johnny Kidd and the Pirates. In 1963,Townshend's father arranged an amateur recording of \"It Was You\", the first song his son ever wrote. The Detours became aware of a group of the same name inFebruary 1964, forcing them to change their name. Townshend's roommate Richard Barnes came up with \"The Who\", and Daltrey decided it was the bestchoice.1964–1982: The WhoNot long after the name change, drummer Doug Sandom was replaced by Keith Moon, who had been drumming semi-professionallywith the Beachcombers for several years. The band was soon taken on by a mod publicist named Peter Meaden who convinced them to change their name to theHigh Numbers to give the band more of a mod feel. After bringing out one failed single (\"I'm the Face/Zoot Suit\"), they dropped Meaden and were signed on bytwo new managers, Chris Stamp and Kit Lambert, who had paired up with the intention of finding new talent and creating a documentary about them. The bandanguished over a name that all felt represented the band best, and dropped the High Numbers name, reverting to the Who. In June 1964, during a performanceat the Railway Tavern, Townshend accidentally broke the top of his guitar on the low ceiling and proceeded to destroy the entire instrument. The on-stagedestruction of instruments soon became a regular part of the Who's live shows.With the assistance of Lambert, the Who caught the ear of American recordproducer Shel Talmy, who had the band signed to a record contract. Townshend wrote a song, \"I Can't Explain\", as a deliberate sound-alike of the Kinks, anothergroup Talmy produced. Released as a single in January 1965, \"I Can't Explain\" was the Who's first hit, reaching number eight on the British charts. A follow-upsingle (\"Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere\"), credited to both Townshend and Daltrey, also reached the top 10 in the UK. However, it was the release of the Who's thirdsingle, \"My Generation\", in November that, according to Who biographer Mark Wilkerson, \"cemented their reputation as a hard-nosed band who reflected thefeelings of thousands of pissed-off adolescents at the time.\" The Townshend-penned single reached number two on the UK charts, becoming the Who's biggesthit. The song and its famous line \"I hope I die before I get old\" was \"very much about trying to find a place in society\", Townshend stated in an interview withDavid Fricke.To capitalise on their recent single success, the Who's debut album My Generation (The Who Sings My Generation in the US) was released in late1965, containing original material written by Townshend and several James Brown covers that Daltrey favoured. Townshend continued to write several successfulsingles for the band, including \"Pictures of Lily\", \"Substitute\", \"I'm a Boy\", and \"Happy Jack\". Lambert encouraged Townshend to write longer pieces of music forthe next album, which became \"A Quick One, While He's Away\". The album was subsequently titled A Quick One and reached No. 4 in the charts upon its releasein December 1966. In their stage shows, Townshend developed a guitar stunt in which he would swing his right arm against the guitar strings in a stylereminiscent of the vanes of a windmill. He developed this style after watching Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards warm up before a show.The Who commencedtheir first US tour on 22 March 1967. Townshend took to trashing his hotel suites, though not to the extent of his bandmate Moon. He also began experimentingwith LSD, though stopped taking the drug after receiving a potent hit after the Monterey Pop Festival on 18 June. Released in December, their next album wasThe Who Sell Out—a concept album based on pirate radio, which had been instrumental in raising the Who's popularity. It included several humorous jingles and"} +{"doc_id":"doc_148","qid":"","text":"Passage 1:Popiel IPopiel I was a legendary ruler of Poland, member of the Popielids dynasty.

Zaynab delivered adefiant sermon in the court of Yazid in which she humiliated Yazid and exposed his army's atrocities while honoring the Ahl al-Bayt and those killed in Karbala andexpounding upon the eternal consequences of the battle.Zaynab bint AliZaynab bint Ali (Arabic: \u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000 \u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000 \u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000) was one of the daughtersof Ali and Fatimah. Like other members of her family she became a great figure of sacrifice, strength, and piety in Islam – in both the Sunni and Shia sects of thereligion. Zaynab married Abdullah ibn Ja'far and had three sons and two daughters. When her brother Husayn defended Islam and opposed the tyranny of Yazidcaliph in 680 AD (61 AH), Zaynab accompanied his companions, 72 men who, together with Husayn, were brutally slain by government forces numbering 30,000men at the Battle of Karbala. Zaynab played an important role in disclosing the true events leading up to the massacre of the third Shia Imam Husayn, and hissupporters. She also protected the life of her nephew Ali ibn Husayn Zayn al-Abidin, the fourth Shia Imam, as he lay seriously ill and unable to go to thebattlefield. Because of her sacrifice and heroism, she became known as the \"Hero of Karbala\". Zaynab died in 681, and her shrine is located in Damascus,Syria.BackgroundAfter the battle of Karbala the captured family of the prophet and the heads of those who were killed were taken to the Levant by the forces ofYazid. On the first day of the month of Safar, according to Turabi, they arrived in the Levant and the captured family and heads were taken into Yazid's presence.First, the identity of each head was told to him. Then he paid attention to a woman who was objecting. Yazid asked, \"Who is this arrogant woman?\" All theaudience paused for a moment. The woman rose to answer and said: \"Why are you asking them [the woman]? Ask me. I'll tell you [who I am]. I amMuhammad's granddaughter. I am Fatima's daughter.\" People at the court were impressed and amazed by her. According to the narration of Al-Shaykh Al-Mufid,in Yazid's presence a man with red skin asked Yazid for one of the captured women to be his slave. Yazid hit the lips and teeth of Hussein with his stick whilesaying: \"I wish those of my clan who were killed at Badr, and those who had seen the Khazraj clan wailing (in the battle of Uhad) on account of lancet wounds,were here. At this time, Zaynab bint Ali began to give her sermon.ContextZaynab bint Ali started her sermon with the praise of Allah:In the name of Allah, Themost Gracious, the most Merciful. All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the worlds. May praise and salutations be upon my grandfather, the leader of Allah'smessengers and upon his progeny.God gives time to disbelieversVerse 178 of chapter of Al Imran was descended about polytheists of Mecca such as Abu Sufyanibn Harb. Zainab bint Ali once again relates this verse to Yazid, grandson of Abu Sufyan ibn Harb. She said: \"Do not be satisfied with this temporal achievement;this time passes quickly and Allah will punish you. You will be humiliated.\"As we see in the sermon:O Yazid! Do you think that we have become humble anddespicable owing to the martyrdom of our people and our own captivity? Do you think that by killing the godly persons you have become great and respectableand the Almighty looks at you with special grace and kindness? You have, however, forgotten what Allah says: The disbelievers must not think that our respite isfor their good We only give them time to let them increase their sins. For them there will be a humiliating torment. (Quran 3:178 (Yusuf Ali))Humiliate the enemyand honoring the Ahl al-BaytOne concern of Zaynab bint Ali in the battle of Karbala was the humiliation of the enemy and the honor of the Ahl al-Bayt.O son ofthe freed ones! Is it justice that you keep your women and slave-girls in seclusion but have made the helpless daughters of the Holy Prophet ride on swift camelsand given them in the hands of their enemies so that they may take them from one city to anotherPosition of those killed in KarbalaZaynab bint Ali told Yazid notto be happy because of his victory. She named verse 169 of Al Imran and emphasized that those dying for a just cause are victors and that Yazid's happiness willend with the torture of Allah.It will be the day when Allah will deliver the descendants of the Holy Prophet from the state of being scattered and will bring all ofthem together in Paradise. This is the promise which Allah has made in the Holy Quran. Do not think of those who are slain for the cause of Allah as dead. Theyare alive with their Lord and receive sustenance from Him.(Quran 3:169 (Yusuf Ali))Referring to the oppressionAt this point in the sermon she referred to all theoppression and injustices of the Umayyad from time of Abu Sufyan till the time of Yazid ibn Muawiyah. She also believed that the Umayyad owed their power tothe Islamic Ummah's failure to uphold the Quran and the rightful succession to Muhammad. She further stated that:Our blood is dripping from their hands andour flesh is falling down from their mouths.External consequences of the battleZaynab bint Ali stated that the battle of Karbala had a positive effect on history.She believed that jihad, struggle in the path of Allah, had eternal effects.You (Yazid) may employ your deceit and cunning efforts, but I swear by Allah that theshame and disgrace which you have earned by the treatment meted out to us cannot be eradicated.In the NewsIn his book, Explanations on Sermon of Zaynabbint Ali at the Levant, published by Bustan publications, Ali Karimi Jahromi reviews different opinions about this sermon.See alsoBattle of KarbalaSermon of Ali ibnHusayn in DamascusPassage 4:Motherland (disambiguation)Motherland is the place of one's birth, the place of one's ancestors, or the place of origin of an ethnicgroup.Motherland may also refer to:Music\"Motherland\" (anthem), the national anthem of MauritiusNational Song (Montserrat), also called\"Motherland\"Motherland (Natalie Merchant album), 2001Motherland (Arsonists Get All the Girls album), 2011Motherland (Daedalus album), 2011\"Motherland\"(Crystal Kay song), 2004Film and televisionMotherland (1927 film), a 1927 British silent war filmMotherland (2010 film), a 2010 documentary filmMotherland(2015 film), a 2015 Turkish dramaMotherland (2022 film), a 2022 documentary film about the Second Nagorno-Karabakh WarMotherland (TV series), a 2016British television seriesMotherland: Fort Salem, a 2020 American science fiction drama seriesOther usesMotherland Party (disambiguation), the name of severalpolitical groupsPersonifications of Russia, including a list of monuments called MotherlandSee alsoAll pages with titles containing MotherlandMother Country(disambiguation)Passage 5:Place of birthThe place of birth (POB) or birthplace is the place where a person was born. This place is often used in legal documents,together with name and date of birth, to uniquely identify a person. Practice regarding whether this place should be a country, a territory or a city/town/localitydiffers in different countries, but often city or territory is used for native-born citizen passports and countries for foreign-born ones.As a general rule with respectto passports, if the place of birth is to be a country, it's determined to be the country that currently has sovereignty over the actual place of birth, regardless ofwhen the birth actually occurred. The place of birth is not necessarily the place where the parents of the new baby live. If the baby is born in a hospital in anotherplace, that place is the place of birth. In many countries, this also means that the government requires that the birth of the new baby is registered in the place ofbirth.Some countries place less or no importance on the place of birth, instead using alternative geographical characteristics for the purpose of identitydocuments. For example, Sweden has used the concept of födelsehemort (\"domicile of birth\") since 1947. This means that the domicile of the baby's mother isthe registered place of birth. The location of the maternity ward or other physical birthplace is considered unimportant.Similarly, Switzerland uses the concept ofplace of origin. A child born to Swiss parents is automatically assigned the place of origin of the parent with the same last name, so the child either gets theirmother's or father's place of origin. A child born to one Swiss parent and one foreign parent acquires the place of origin of their Swiss parent. In a Swiss passportand identity card, the holder's place of origin is stated, not their place of birth. In Japan, the registered domicile is a similar concept.In some countries (primarilyin the Americas), the place of birth automatically determines the nationality of the baby, a practice often referred to by the Latin phrase jus soli. Almost allcountries outside the Americas instead attribute nationality based on the nationality(-ies) of the baby's parents (referred to as jus sanguinis).There can be someconfusion regarding the place of birth if the birth takes place in an unusual way: when babies are born on an airplane or at sea, difficulties can arise. The place ofbirth of such a person depends on the law of the countries involved, which include the nationality of the plane or ship, the nationality(-ies) of the parents and/orthe location of the plane or ship (if the birth occurs in the territorial waters or airspace of a country).Some administrative forms may request the applicant's\"country of birth\". It is important to determine from the requester whether the information requested refers to the applicant's \"place of birth\" or \"nationality atbirth\". For example, US citizens born abroad who acquire US citizenship at the time of birth, the nationality at birth will be USA (American), while the place ofbirth would be the country in which the actual birth takes place.Reference list8 FAM 403.4 Place of BirthPassage 6:Yazid IIIYazīd ibn al-Walīd ibn \u0000Abd al-Malik(701 – 3/4 October 744) (Arabic: \u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000 \u0000\u0000 \u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000 \u0000\u0000 \u0000\u0000\u0000 \u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000) usually known simply as Yazid III was the twelfth Umayyad caliph.

The southernmost of the two, Great Abington, covers 1,588 acres (6.43 km2) and is bounded to the south by the county border with Essex, to the west by a branch of the Icknield Way (now the A11), and to the east by the parish of Hildersham. Little Abington covers 1,309 acres (5.30 km2), again bordered by the Icknield Way and Hildersham to the west and east, and by the ancient thoroughfare of Wool Street to the north.The village history dates back to the Bronze Age, some 4000 years ago. The Saxons gave the village its name, originally called \"estate named after Abba\", and the village was listed as Abintone in the Domesday Book. The 'Great' and 'Little' prefixes came later: the Latin magna is observed from 1218 and the Modern English great from 1523 while the Latin parva is observed from 1218 and the Middle English littel from 1336.In the decades before the Second World War the Land Settlement Association created a site to the south of Great Abington consisting of over sixty houses and plots of land for unemployed miners mainly from the former shipyards of Tyneside and coalfields of Yorkshire and Durham.The Cambridge to Haverhill railway line that opened in 1865 crossed Great Abington just south of the village, but closed in 1967.

Simpson.PlotThe film follows the lives of six men over a period of months as they convene weekly in a self-help style group. Meeting at the home of Paul, the men include Freddy, a depressed stand-up comedian; the elderly Cecil; businessman Lucas; the bereaved Anthony; taciturn Moses; and talkative, middle-aged Alex. As trust grows between the men they gradually begin to open up and learn to listen to each other, discovering they are not alone in their fears as they had presumed. When a tragedy befalls the group, the men realize they must take responsibilities for their own lives and those of their loved ones.CastGrant Dodwell as AlexPaul Gleeson as PaulSteve Le Marquand as LucasDon Reid as CecilSteve Rodgers as FreddyPaul Tassone as MosesWilliam Zappa as AnthonyProductionDevelopmentThe concept of the film was conceived by Michael Joy and John L. Simpson, while working together on another project dealing with men's issues and their inability to communicate. At that time, director Michael Joy was experiencing depression and attended a men's support group on the advice of a telephone counsellor. Joy was struck by the pain of the men in the room and the safe environment in which they could express what they were going through.FilmingJoy worked with each of the actors separately, workshopping the script over two months. Using this technique, Michael and John L. would create scenes from key character points and events. Only then was a comprehensive screenplay drafted and delivered to the heads of departments.The actors were not allowed to see the screenplay prior to shooting, and had little or no idea of other characters' story lines. The filmmakers did this to capture the actors' first responses to what was unfolding in front of them. There was only one take for each shot that appears in the film, and the shoot lasted only 14 days. It was shot in sequence, so the filmmakers could not go back to reshoot. Before each scene, Joy spent time talking to the actors quietly and individually about their lives at that point, trying to get them to speak about specific things that needed to happen in the film.The film was a micro-budget production, created on a reverse finance model, with each key crew member and actor taking an equity position in the film.ReceptionThe film was praised and is particularly recognised for the strong performances by the lead actors. Anton Bitel of Eye for Film wrote the film \"represents a refreshing examination of the collective male psyche through pure drama\", and added the improvisational nature of the film results in an \"ensemble performances of searing, warts-and-all realism, so utterly believable that viewers themselves will feel like silent members of the party, compelled by the power of the proceedings to watch, listen, learn – and maybe join in the conversation after the credits have rolled.\" On At the Movies, Margaret Pomeranz awarded the film four stars and David Stratton awarded it three and a half stars.On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, Men's Group has an approval rating of 86% based on 7 reviews.AFI Fellowship and TourFollowing the theatrical release of the film by Titan View, John L. Simpson was approached by men's health groups who wished to screen the film and use it as a tool to prompt discussions about men's mental health. With this interest, Simpson proposed to tour the film around Australia to non-theatrical venues for community group screenings, and in the process create a map of all venues in Australia suitable to screen from. For this proposal he was awarded the 2008 AFI Fellowship.The program has allowed the film to tour to towns such as Tamworth, Armidale, Bellingen, Dorrigo, Bowraville, and Bowral.In early March 2009, Men’s Group was screened to men's and women's prisons in Tasmania.Awards and nominationsFilm Critics Circle of Australia2009: Nominated, Best Actor – Grant DodwellInside Film Awards2008: Won, Best Actor – Grant Dodwell2008: Won, Best Feature Film – John L.

The film faithfully traced the course of this humorous and enterprising attempt to wake up the populace, filling out the basic plot with irreverent patriotic gags.Passage 5:Times of Joy and SorrowTimes of Joy and Sorrow (USA title), The Lighthouse (UK title), or\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000 (Yorokobi mo Kanashimi mo Ikutoshitsuki), is a 1957 color Japanese film directed by Keisuke Kinoshita, who shot on location at 10 different lighthouses throughout Japan, including opening scenes at Kannonzaki, the site of the country's first lighthouse.PlotIn 1932, a young lighthouse keeper returns from his father's funeral with a new bride, who quickly learns the importance of the marital bond to members of her husband's profession, which is often characterized by the hardships of physical isolation and sudden reassignment. Over the next 25 years they transfer to ten different lighthouses throughout Japan, raising two children and befriending multiple colleagues and their families. They endure wartime attacks on the strategically relevant lighthouses as well as a tragedy involving one of their children, ultimately celebrating the other's marriage and settling together into middle age.CastHideko Takamine as Kiyoko ArisawaKeiji Sada as Shiro ArisawaTakahiro Tamura as Mr. NozuKatsuo Nakamura as KotaroYōko Katsuragi as Fuji TatsukoKōji Mitsui as Mr. KanemakiKuniko Igawa as Itoko SuzukiShizue Natsukawa as Mrs. NatoriMasako Arisawa as YukinoHiroko Itō as MasakoNoboru Nakaya as Shingo NatoriTakeshi Sakamoto as PostmasterRyūji Kita as NatoriMutsuko Sakura as Mrs. KanemakiFeatured LighthousesKannonzaki Lighthouse - Miura Peninsula, KanagawaIshikari Lighthouse - Ishikari, HokkaidoIzu Oshima Lighthouse - Izu Ōshima, Izu IslandsMizunokojima Lighthouse - Bungo Channel, OitaMeshima Lighthouse - Gotō Islands, NagasakiHajiki Saki Lighthouse - Sado Island, NiigataOmaesaki Lighthouse - Omaezaki, ShizuokaAnorisaki Lighthouse - Shima, MieOgijima Lighthouse - Seto Inland Sea, KagawaHiyoriyama Lighthouse - Otaru, HokkaidoLegacyThe highly-popular film has been remade three times for Japanese television, and in 1986 Kinoshita himself reworked it as Big Joys, Small Sorrows, the Western version of its actual title (\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000), which translates roughly as New Times of Joy and Sorrow.Its rousing, eponymous theme song was a major hit for Akira Wakayama and became a cultural touchstone of 1950s Japan.In 1993 a statue depicting the movie's two stars in an iconic pose from publicity materials was erected at Hajikizaki Lighthouse on Sato Island, one of the filming sites, as a tribute to lighthouse staff nationwide.AvailabilityAlthough the film has not been released on disc or for streaming in the United States, Kinoshita's remake Big Joys, Small Sorrows was among the inaugural films available in Spring 2019 for streaming on The Criterion Channel.Passage 6:Eve's LeavesEve's Leaves is a 1926 American silent romantic comedy film starring Leatrice Joy and William Boyd. The film was produced and distributed by Cecil B. DeMille and directed by Paul Sloane It is based upon the 1925 play of the same name by Harry Chapman Ford.PlotCaptain Corbin (Edeson), who operates the tramp cargo ship Garden of Eden, has raised his daughter Eve (Joy) as a boy. After learning about men after reading some romance novels belonging to the cook Cookie (Harris), she goes ashore in a Chinese port to find her true love and spies American Bob Britton (Boyd), whom she then has kidnapped to augment the ship's crew. Pirate Chang Fang (Long) and his pirates capture the ship seeking passage to his stronghold. With Cookie's help, Eve remakes herself using an outfit made from a curtain and some beads, which draws the interest of both Chang and Bob. In the end, Eve saves the day and she and Bob are married on board by a missionary (Hoyt).CastProductionLeatrice Joy had impulsively cut her hair short in 1926, and DeMille, whom Joy had followed when he set up Producers Distributing Corporation, was publicly angry as it prevented her from portraying traditional feminine roles. The studio developed projects with roles suitable for her “Leatrice Joy bob”, and Eve's Leaves was the second of five films before she regrew her hair. In both Eve's Leaves and The Clinging Vine (1926), Joy's character is mistaken as being male in at least one scene. In 1928, a professional dispute would end the Joy / Demille partnership and she signed with MGM.Intertitles featuring quotes from stereotype Chinese characters are in a racist fictional Asian dialect that today would be considered offensive.PreservationA 16mm print of Eve's Leaves is preserved film at the UCLA Film and Television Archive and the film has been released on DVD.Passage 7:Wasted TimeWasted Time(s) may refer to:Songs\"Wasted Time\" (Fuel song), 2007\"Wasted Time\" (Keith Urban song), 2016\"Wasted Time\" (Kings of Leon song), 2003\"Wasted Time\" (Skid Row song), 1991\"Wasted Time\" (Vance Joy song), 2014\"Wasted Times\" (The Weeknd song), 2018\"Wasted Time\", by Bret Michaels from Custom Built, 2010\"Wasted Time\", by "} +{"doc_id":"doc_151","qid":"","text":"Passage 1:Chow Ka WaChow Ka Wa (Chinese: \u0000\u0000\u0000; Cantonese Yale: Jāu Gāwà ; born 23 April 1986 in Hong Kong) is a Hong Kong footballer who plays for Hong Kong First Division League club Southern as a right midfielder.Club careerCitizenChow began his professional career at Citizen, a newly promoted First Division club, in the 2004–05 season. However, as a young player, he failed to compete for a place in the starting line-up, only mostly played in the Senior Shield.Loan to Xiangxie PharDuring the season, Xiangxie Phar was rebuilt and players all left the club. To retain their presence in the league, six teams from the First Division league loaned their young players so that they could gain match experiences. Chow was one of them who was loaned from Citizen. However, as he was still a student at that time, he failed to attend every training session and therefore was not given many match-playing chances. He returned to Citizen at the end of the season.Kwun TongAfter spending a season in the top-tier division, he joined Third Division side Kwun Tong, as he had to focus on academic studies. Although he played most of the matches, he failed to help them gain promotion to the Second Division. He left the club at the end of the season.Hong Kong 08Chow made a return to the First Division in the 2006–07 season, joining Hong Kong 08, which was formed by a team of young players to let them gain match experiences before competing in the 2008 Olympics qualifiers. He was given plenty of match-playing chances although there were many wingers at the team. However, the club was relegated and was dissolved after the season.Although many players and coaches joined newly promoted side Workable, Chow did not follow them and joined Third Division side Shatin, meaning he would miss the First Division for the second time.ShatinChow joined Third Division side Shatin in the 2007–08 season. As a third-tier club, however, Shatin had many players with First Division playing experience, including Lee Wai Man who was the current most capped Hong Kong national team record player, Ng Yat Hoi, Kwok Yue Hung and so on. With an exceptionally strong squad in the league, Chow helped Shatin claim the league title without dropping any points in all 15 matches, meaning they had also gained promotion to Second Division. At the same time, Shatin also won the Junior Shield title in the season.Chow stayed at the club as Shatin were aiming at promotion to the First Division for their first time in club history. He continued to make a great impact in the team and eventually helped the club achieve their season goal as they claimed the league title with only losing one match in 18 matches. On the other hand, Shatin successfully defended their Junior Shield title, defeating Sham Shai Po 2–0 in the final. Chow played 90 minutes in the match, providing one assist in the match.He followed the team and made a second return to the First Division in the 2009–10 season. However, since Shatin bought several new players to strengthen their squad, Chow's match-playing chances were therefore reduced. Shatin failed to avoid relegation to the Second Division as they placed 2nd at the bottom of the league. Chow also left the club after the season.PonticChow made his third leave from the First Division as he joined Second Division side Pontic in the 2010–11 season. As a key member in the team, he only missed one game throughout the season, helping the club gain promotion to the First Division.However, since Pontic failed to find sponsors, they lacked sufficient funds to run the club.

Soon later, Pontic was punished and had their club qualification cancelled, meaning that they were not able to compete in every league and cup organised by the Hong Kong Football Association. Chow became Free Agent afterwards.SouthernChow joined Second Division side Southern in the 2011–12 season. Under coaching of Fung Hoi Man, Chow was a usual starter for the club, featuring 20 league matches and scoring 2 goals.

He made a great impact on Southern's 8-game unbeaten in the league during the season. Unfortunately, Chow was injured in January and was forced to stay on the sidelines for two months.On 20 April 2013, he scored the winning goal in the 68th minute after being substituted in the 60th minute against South China, not just helping the club to win 3–2, but also helping them to secure the league 4th place. This was also Chow's first game after his recovery on his injury. This goal became more important as Southern qualified for the 2013 Hong Kong AFC Cup play-offs by finishing fourth in the league, as Kitchee won the FA Cup on 11 May 2013 after they had secure a place in the play-offs by finishing second in the league.Career statisticsClubAs of 5 May 2013.Remarks:1 Others include 2013 Hong Kong AFC Cup play-offs.2 Hong Kong League Cup only consists of top-tier division clubs.3 Hong Kong League Cup was not held in the 2009–10 and 2012–13 seasons.Passage 2:Kenneth GyangKenneth Gyang is a young filmmaker in Nigeria and was born in Barkin Ladi of Plateau State, Nigeria.He studied Film Production at the National Film Institute in Jos and screenwriting at Gaston Kaboré's IMAGINE in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.

Her best-known recordings are \"Don't Go to Strangers\" and \"Save Your Love for Me\". Sheworked with Buddy Johnson, Oliver Nelson, Earl Hines, Barney Bigard, Gene Ammons, Kenny Burrell, Milt Jackson, Cedar Walton, and HoustonPerson.BiographyJones was born in Aiken, South Carolina, and raised in Harlem, New York. Still in her teens, she joined Buddy Johnson's band for a tour althoughshe was not featured on record. Her first recordings—\"Salty Papa Blues\", \"Evil Gal Blues\", \"Blow Top Blues\", and \"Long, Long Journey\"—were produced byLeonard Feather in 1944, placing her in the company of clarinetist Barney Bigard and tenor saxophonist Georgie Auld. In 1947, she recorded and released anearly cover version of Leon Rene's \"I Sold My Heart to the Junkman\" (previously released by the Basin Street Boys on Rene's Exclusive label) while at RCA VictorRecords. She performed with the Earl Hines sextet from 1949 to 1952.Following her recordings for Prestige, on which Jones was featured with high-profilearrangers such as Oliver Nelson and jazz stars such as Frank Wess, Roy Haynes, and Gene Ammons, she had a musical partnership of more than 30 years withtenor saxophonist Houston Person, who received equal billing with her. He also produced her albums and served as her manager after the pair met in one ofJohnny \"Hammond\" Smith's bands.Although Etta Jones is likely to be remembered above all for her recordings on Prestige, her close professional relationship withPerson (frequently, but mistakenly, identified as Jones' husband) helped ensure that the last two decades of her life would be marked by uncommon productivity.Starting in 1976, they began recording for Muse, which later changed its name to HighNote. Mr. Person became her manager, as well as her record producer andaccompanist, in a partnership that lasted until her death in 2001.Only one of her recordings—her debut album for Prestige Records (Don't Go to Strangers,1960)—enjoyed commercial success with sales of over 1 million copies. However, her remaining seven albums for Prestige, and beginning in 1976, her recordingsfor Muse Records, and for HighNote Records secured her a devoted following. She had three Grammy nominations: for the Don't Go to Strangers album in 1960,the Save Your Love for Me album in 1981, and My Buddy (dedicated to her first employer, Buddy Johnson) in 1998. In 2008 the album Don't Go to Strangers wasinducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. In 1996, she recorded the jazz vocalist tribute album, The Melody Lingers On, for the HighNote label. Her last recording,a tribute to Billie Holiday, was released on the day of Jones' death.She died in Mount Vernon, New York at the age of 72 from cancer.

Changhong accused him ofdefrauding them through bad checks. Ji was taken, according to an account by his lawyer, to the senior management and told, \"I decide whether you live or die.\"He has been held in China without charges.Ji's case highlighted an \"implicit racism\" in dealings with American businessmen. As a U.S. citizen he was not grantedthe same treatment by authorities as non-ethnically Chinese businessmen sharing the same nationality.Passage 4:Luther LindsayLuther Jacob Goodall (December30, 1924 – February 21, 1972) was an American professional football player and wrestler, known by his ringname Luther Lindsay or Lindsey, who competedthroughout the United States with the National Wrestling Alliance as well as international promotions such as All Japan Pro Wrestling, Joint Promotions andStampede Wrestling.One of the first African American wrestlers to become a major star, he was extremely popular in the Pacific Northwest and Mid-Atlanticterritory. A frequent rival and tag team partner of Shag Thomas, he also teamed with Bearcat Wright, Nick Bockwinkel, Pepper Gomez and was involved in feudswith \"Iron\" Mike DiBiase, Mad Dog Vachon, Beauregarde, Moondog Mayne, Tony Borne and Pat Patterson and The Hangman.For much of the early 1950s and'60s, Lindsay was billed as the U.S. Colored (or Negro) Heavyweight Champion and took part in the first interracial professional wrestling matches held in theUnited States. Between 1953 and 1956, he faced NWA World Heavyweight Champion Lou Thesz in a series of matches. Although largely resulting in time limitdraws, he was the first African-American to make a challenge to the title and earned Thesz's respect during these bouts publicly praising his wrestling ability.Hewas considered one of the top submission wrestlers of his day working with Don Leo Jonathan and Stu Hart. Lindsay was one of the few men who bested him inthe infamous \"Hart Dungeon\" and later became one of Hart's best friends. Hart reportedly carried a picture of him in his wallet until his death. He was held in highregard by his fellow wrestlers such as Lou Thesz, J. J. Dillon, Rip Hawk and Les Thatcher.CareerEarly careerLuther Goodall was born on a farm outside Norfolk,Virginia, on December 30, 1924. He moved to Sedalia but later resided in Gibsonville, North Carolina, and later played college football for Norfolk State andnearby Hampton Institute where he was also a CIAA wrestling champion. Although excelling in athletics as an All-American Negro tackle-guard, state segregationlaws prohibited him from playing against white athletes. He played two years of professional football in Hamilton and Victoria for the Canadian Football League.Lindsey began wrestling professionally making his debut in 1950 or 1951. Taking the surname of his wife, Gertrude Lindsey, his earliest recorded match wasagainst Al Tucker in Chicago, Illinois, for promoter Leonard Schwartz on November 21, 1951.As early as 1953, Lindsay was billed as the U.S. Colored or NegroHeavyweight Champion. He was one of the few African-Americans in professional wrestling and, in accordance with state segregation laws at the time, he wasonly allowed to travel with and compete against other African-American wrestlers during his early career. One of his most frequent opponents was Shag Thomaswho he later claimed knew better than any other opponent. During the late 1950s, he became the first African-American south of Washington, D.C., to compete ina wrestling event when he faced Ron Wright in Kingsport, Tennessee. Although the National Guard was brought in amid fears of rioting, the crowd unexpectedlyfavored Lindsay against Wright. As a result of Lindsay's success in the area, other African-American wrestlers were also brought into the area such as BearcatWright and Bobcat Brown.Pacific Northwest WrestlingIn early 1953, he appeared in Washington where he faced George Dusette, the Masked Marvel, CarlEngstrom, Walter Kameroff, Jack Kiser, Bronko Lubich, Axel Cadier. He was involved in a battle royal which included Kiser, Lubich, Cadier, Bud Rattal and PaulDeGalles in Yakima on May 12. On July 31, he faced Lou Thesz for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship in Tacoma and the two fought to a time limit draw.This was the first of several meetings between the two champions and the first time the title was defended against an African-American opponent. A rematch one"} +{"doc_id":"doc_153","qid":"","text":"Passage 1:Jacob Le MaireJacob Le Maire (c. 1585 – 22 December 1616) was a Dutch mariner who circumnavigated the earth in 1615 and 1616. The straitbetween Tierra del Fuego and Isla de los Estados was named the Le Maire Strait in his honour, though not without controversy. It was Le Maire himself whoproposed to the council aboard Eendracht that the new passage should be called by his name and the council unanimously agreed with Le Maire. The author orauthors of The Relation took Eendracht captain Willem Schouten's side by proclaiming:“ ... our men had each of them three cups of wine in signe of ioy for ourgood hap ... [and the naming of] the Straights of Le Maire, although by good right it should rather have been called Willem Schouten Straight, after our MastersName, by whose wise conduction and skill in sayling, the same was found.”.Eendracht then rounded Cape Horn, proving that Tierra del Fuego was not acontinent.BiographyJacob Le Maire was born in either Antwerp or Amsterdam, one of the 22 children of Maria Walraven of Antwerp and Isaac Le Maire(1558–1624) of Tournai, who was then already a prosperous merchant in Antwerp. Isaac and Maria married shortly before the Spanish siege of Antwerp in 1585after which they fled to settle in Amsterdam. Jacob is thought to have been the oldest son, born perhaps the same year. Isaac was very successful in Amsterdam,and became one of the founders of the Dutch East Indies Company (VOC). However, in 1605 Isaac Le Maire was forced to leave the company after a dispute andfor the next decade tried to break the company's monopoly on the trade to the East Indies.By 1615 Isaac had established a new company (the AustralianCompany) with the goal to find a new route to the Pacific and the Spice Islands, thereby evading the restrictions of the VOC. He contributed to the outfitting oftwo ships, the Eendracht and Hoorn, and put his son Jacob in charge of trading during the expedition. The experienced ship master Willem Schouten was captainof the Eendracht and a participant of the enterprise in equal shares with Isaac Le Maire.On 14 June 1615 Jacob le Maire and Willem Schouten sailed from Texel inthe United Provinces. On 29 January 1616 they rounded Cape Horn, which they named for the Hoorn, which was lost in a fire. The Dutch city of Hoorn was alsothe birthplace of Schouten. After failing to moor at the Juan Fernández Islands in early March, the ships crossed the Pacific in a fairly straight line, visiting severalof the Tuamotus. Between 21 and 24 April 1616 they were the first Westerners to visit the (Northern) Tonga islands: \"Cocos Island\" (Tafahi), \"Traitors Island\"(Niuatoputapu), and \"Island of Good Hope\" (Niuafo'ou). On 28 April they discovered the Hoorn Islands (Futuna and Alofi), where they were very well received andstayed until 12 May. They then followed the north coasts of New Ireland and New Guinea and visited adjacent islands, including, on 24 July, what became knownas the Schouten Islands.They reached the northern Moluccas in August and finally Ternate, the headquarters of the VOC, on 12 September 1616. Here they wereenthusiastically welcomed by Governor-General Laurens Reael, admiral Steven Verhagen, and the governor of Ambon, Jasper Jansz.The Eendracht sailed on toJava and reached Batavia on 28 October with a remarkable 84 of the original 87 crew members of both ships on board. Although they had opened an unknownroute, Jan Pieterszoon Coen of the VOC claimed infringement of its monopoly of trade to the Spice Islands. Le Maire and Schouten were arrested and theEendracht was confiscated. After being released, they returned from Batavia to Amsterdam in the company of Joris van Spilbergen, who was on acircumnavigation of the earth himself, be it via the traditional Strait of Magellan.Le Maire was aboard the ship Amsterdam on this journey home, but died enroute. Van Spilbergen was at his deathbed and took Le Maire's report of his trip, which he included in his book Mirror of the East and West Indies. The rest of thecrew arrived in the Netherlands on 1 July 1617, two years and 17 days after they departed. Jacob's father Isaac challenged the confiscation and the conclusion ofthe VOC, but it took him until 1622 until a court ruled in his favour. He was awarded 64,000 pounds and retrieved his son's diaries (which he then published aswell), and his company was allowed trade via the newly discovered route. Unfortunately, by then, the Dutch West Indies Company had claimed the samewaters.FootnotesPassage 2:Éric RohmerJean Marie Maurice Schérer or Maurice Henri Joseph Schérer, known as Éric Rohmer (French: [e\u0000ik \u0000om\u0000\u0000]; 21 March1920 – 11 January 2010), was a French film director, film critic, journalist, novelist, screenwriter, and teacher.Rohmer was the last of the post-World War IIFrench New Wave directors to become established. He edited the influential film journal Cahiers du cinéma from 1957 to 1963, while most of hiscolleagues—among them Jean-Luc Godard and François Truffaut—were making the transition from critics to filmmakers and gaining internationalattention.Rohmer gained international acclaim around 1969 when his film My Night at Maud's was nominated at the Academy Awards. He won the San SebastiánInternational Film Festival with Claire's Knee in 1971 and the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival for The Green Ray in 1986. Rohmer went on to receive theVenice Film Festival's Career Golden Lion in 2001.After Rohmer's death in 2010, his obituary in The Daily Telegraph described him as \"the most durable filmmakerof the French New Wave\", outlasting his peers and \"still making movies the public wanted to see\" late in his career.Early lifeRohmer was born Jean-Marie MauriceSchérer (or Maurice Henri Joseph Schérer) in Nancy (also listed as Tulle), Meurthe-et-Moselle department, Lorraine, France, the son of Mathilde (née Bucher) andLucien Schérer. Rohmer was a Catholic. He was secretive about his private life and often gave different dates of birth to reporters. He fashioned his pseudonymfrom the names of two famous artists: actor and director Erich von Stroheim and writer Sax Rohmer, author of the Fu Manchu series. Rohmer was educated inParis and received an advanced degree in history, though he seemed equally interested and learned in literature, philosophy, and theology.Career as ajournalistRohmer first worked as a teacher in Clermont-Ferrand. In the mid-1940s he quit his teaching job and moved to Paris, where he worked as a freelancejournalist. In 1946 he published a novel, Elisabeth (AKA Les Vacances) under the pen name Gilbert Cordier. While living in Paris, Rohmer first began to attendscreenings at Henri Langlois's Cinémathèque Française, where he first met and befriended Jean-Luc Godard, François Truffaut, Claude Chabrol, Jacques Rivetteand other members of the French New Wave. Rohmer had never been very interested in film, preferring literature, but soon became an intense lover of films andabout 1949 switched from journalism to film criticism. He wrote film reviews for such publications as Révue du Cinéma, Arts, Temps Modernes and LaParisienne.In 1950, he co-founded the film magazine La Gazette du Cinéma with Rivette and Godard, but it was short-lived. In 1951 Rohmer joined the staff ofAndré Bazin's newly founded film magazine Cahiers du Cinéma, of which he became the editor in 1956. There, Rohmer established himself as a critic with adistinctive voice; fellow Cahiers contributor and French New Wave filmmaker Luc Moullet later remarked that, unlike the more aggressive and personal writings ofyounger critics like Truffaut and Godard, Rohmer favored a rhetorical style that made extensive use of questions and rarely used the first person singular. Rohmerwas known as more politically conservative than most of the Cahiers staff, and his opinions were highly influential on the magazine's direction while he was editor.Rohmer first published articles under his real name but began using \"Éric Rohmer\" in 1955 so that his family would not find out that he was involved in the filmworld, as they would have disapproved.Rohmer's best-known article was \"Le Celluloïd et le marbre\" (\"Celluloid and Marble\", 1955), which examines therelationship between film and other arts. In the article, Rohmer writes that in an age of cultural self-consciousness, film is \"the last refuge of poetry\" and the onlycontemporary art form from which metaphor can still spring naturally and spontaneously.In 1957 Rohmer and Claude Chabrol wrote Hitchcock (Paris: ÉditionsUniversitaires, 1957), the earliest book-length study of Alfred Hitchcock. It focuses on Hitchcock's Catholic background and has been called \"one of the mostinfluential film books since the Second World War, casting new light on a filmmaker hitherto considered a mere entertainer\". Hitchcock helped establish the auteurtheory as a critical method and contributed to the reevaluation of the American cinema that was central to that method.By 1963 Rohmer was becoming more atodds with some of the more radical left-wing critics at Cahiers du Cinéma. He continued to admire US films while many of the other left-wing critics had rejectedthem and were championing cinéma vérité and Marxist film criticism. Rohmer resigned that year and was succeeded by Rivette.Film career1950–1962: Shortsand early film careerIn 1950 Rohmer made his first 16mm short film, Journal d'un scélérat. The film starred writer Paul Gégauff and was made with a borrowedcamera. By 1951 Rohmer had a bigger budget provided by friends and shot the short film Présentation ou Charlotte et son steak. The 12-minute film wasco-written by and starred Jean-Luc Godard. The film was not completed until 1961. In 1952 Rohmer began collaborating with Pierre Guilbaud on a one-hour shortfeature, Les Petites Filles modèles, but the film was never finished. In 1954 Rohmer made and acted in Bérénice, a 15-minute short based on a story by EdgarAllan Poe. In 1956 Rohmer directed, wrote, edited and starred in La Sonate à Kreutzer, a 50-minute film produced by Godard. In 1958 Rohmer made Véroniqueet son cancre, a 20-minute short produced by Chabrol.Chabrol's company AJYM produced Rohmer's feature directorial debut, The Sign of Leo (Le Signe du lion) in1959. In the film an American composer spends the month of August waiting for his inheritance while all his friends are on vacation and gradually becomesimpoverished. It included music by Louis Sagver. The Sign of Leo was later recut and rescored by distributors when Chabrol was forced to sell his productioncompany, and Rohmer disowned the recut version. In 1962 Rohmer and Barbet Schroeder co-founded the production company Les Films du Losange (they werelater joined by Pierre Coltrell in the late 1960s). Les Films du Losange produced all of Rohmer's work (except his last three features produced by La CompagnieEric Rohmer).1962–1972: Six Moral Tales and television workRohmer's career began to gain momentum with his Six Moral Tales (Six contes moraux). Each of thefilms in the cycle follows the same story, inspired by F. W. Murnau's Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans (1927): a man, married or otherwise committed to awoman, is tempted by a second woman but eventually returns to the first.For Rohmer, these stories' characters \"like to bring their motives, the reasons for their"} +{"doc_id":"doc_154","qid":"","text":"Passage 1:Ben PalmerBen Palmer (born 1976) is a British film and television director.His television credits include the Channel 4 sketch show Bo' Selecta!(2002–2006), the second and third series of the E4 sitcom The Inbetweeners (2009–2010) and the Sky Atlantic comedy-drama Breeders (2020).

If she findsthem broken or forgotten, she hauls them off to the Land of Lost and Forgotten Toys. Snoopy then says Santa asked her to tell all the children the story of howthe Fairy Snow Queen gave life to toys, so that they might be more respectful of their gifts.Snoopy then begins the story: one Christmas Eve, long ago, right afterSanta and the brownies had finished making the toys, Santa asked the Fairy Snow Queen to come visit so they can have a sugar cookie. The Fairy Snow Queencame, but discovered Santa deeply asleep in his chair, exhausted from his hard work. At his feet, the queen found several of the toys that he was about todeliver: a rag doll, (Jenny Neal) a musical doll, (Lee Porter) a jack-in-the-box, (Don Oreck) a toy soldier, (Bob Porter) a baby doll, (Audrey Washburn) a dolldressed as a peasant, (Joanna Lamond) and a candy lion (Patrick Clement). Insulted at being forgotten about, the Fairy Snow Queen decided to play a trick onSanta, and brought the toys to life. As the toys take their first steps, the queen dances with the rag doll, and Santa wakes up. The toys demonstrate they cansing, and while Santa enjoyed their music, he asked the Fairy Snow Queen to revert them to their inanimate state. The queen protested, saying it's all good fun.The toy soldier and baby doll then show everyone a marching routine, after which the mischievous Jack jumps out of his box and frightens the other toys, until heis coaxed back into his dwelling by the toy soldier. The Fairy Snow queen then used her magic to calm everyone down, and Santa asked her once again to put thetoys back to normal, before the toys fall in love with each other, or break themselves. The queen then reveals that because she'd been irresponsible with hermagic, her powers were taken away. She tells Santa she can only change the toys back if they wish to return to their normal states, and they have no suchdesire, so she cannot. After this, Santa told the toys that if they don't change back, he won't have any gifts to give to the children. The Fairy Snow Queen thenoffered a compromise: the toys will come to life for one hour, at midnight, each night. The toys agree to this, and Santa appoints Snoopy the caretaker of all thetoys. Before she changed them back, the musical doll and the toy soldier reveal they have fallen in love with each other. In remembrance of her, the soldier gavethe doll his golden medal, and Santa decreed all musical dolls will wear golden medals to commemorate their love. The queen returned the toys back to normal,leaving Santa and Snoopy to load the toys onto his sleigh.MusicSome of the music used in the short film was from The Nutcracker Suite and The Sleeping Beautyby Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.ProductionOriginally a one act play written by Porter in 1949, the film wasn't copyrighted until two years later.

Her marriage to her first cousin Min Ba Saw—a son of her maternal uncle—was cut short when her brother KingNarapati had him executed. Narapati then married her off to Sithu Kyawhtin, then governor of Salin, a powerful figure in the Confederation of Shan States, in amarriage of state in the late 1530s. (Prome was then a de facto vassal state of the Confederation, which controlled all of Ava territories except Toungoo in UpperBurma.) Her stay at Salin lasted until January 1544 when the city was captured by Toungoo forces under Gen. Bayinnaung. Her husband escaped to Ava (Inwa)but she was captured and sent to Pegu (Bago). In 1545, she was married to Nanda Yawda, a younger brother of Bayinnaung, at the coronation ceremony ofTabinshwehti at the Pegu Palace.She returned to her native Prome as queen in 1551 when her husband was appointed viceroy of the region by King Bayinnaung.She had two daughters by Nanda Yawda, now styled as Thado Dhamma Yaza II. Their elder daughter Hsinbyushin Medaw became the chief queen of NawrahtaMinsaw, the viceroy (and later king) of Lan Na.

He lived in Set Maat (translated as \"The Place of Truth\"), contemporary Deirel-Medina, on the west bank of the Nile, opposite Thebes. Sennedjem had the title \"Servant in the Place of Truth\". He was buried along with his wife, Iyneferti,and members of his family in a tomb in the village necropolis. His tomb was discovered January 31, 1886. When Sennedjem's tomb was found, it containedfurniture from his home, including a stool and a bed, which he used when he was alive.His titles included Servant in the Place of Truth, meaning that he workedon the excavation and decoration of the nearby royal tombs.See alsoTT1 – (Tomb of Sennedjem, family and wife)Passage 5:Place of originIn Switzerland, theplace of origin (German: Heimatort or Bürgerort, literally \"home place\" or \"citizen place\"; French: Lieu d'origine; Italian: Luogo di attinenza) denotes where aSwiss citizen has their municipal citizenship, usually inherited from previous generations. It is not to be confused with the place of birth or place of residence,although two or all three of these locations may be identical depending on the person's circumstances.Acquisition of municipal citizenshipSwiss citizenship hasthree tiers. For a person applying to naturalise as a Swiss citizen, these tiers are as follows:Municipal citizenship, granted by the place of residence after fulfillingseveral preconditions, such as sufficient knowledge of the local language, integration into local society, and a minimum number of years lived in saidmunicipality.Cantonal (state) citizenship, for which a Swiss municipal citizenship is required. This requires a certain number of years lived in said canton.Countrycitizenship, for which both of the above are required, also requires a certain number of years lived in Switzerland (except for people married to a Swiss citizen,who may obtain simplified naturalisation without having to reside in Switzerland), and involves a criminal background check.The last two kinds of citizenship are amere formality, while municipal citizenship is the most significant step in becoming a Swiss citizen. Nowadays the place of residence determines the municipalitywhere citizenship is acquired, for a new applicant, whereas previously there was a historical reason for preserving the municipal citizenship from earliergenerations in the family line, namely to specify which municipality held the responsibility of providing social welfare. The law has now been changed, eliminatingthis form of allocating responsibility to a municipality other than that of the place of residence. Care needs to be taken when translating the term in Swissdocuments which list the historical \"Heimatort\" instead of the usual place of birth and place of residence.However, any Swiss citizen can apply for a second, athird or even more municipal citizenships for prestige reasons or to show their connection to the place they currently live – and thus have several places of origin.As the legal significance of the place of origin has waned (see below), Swiss citizens can often apply for municipal citizenship for no more than 100 Swiss francsafter having lived in the same municipality for one or two years. In the past, it was common to have to pay between 2,000 and 4,000 Swiss francs as a citizenshipfee, because of the financial obligations incumbent on the municipality to grant the citizenship.A child born to two Swiss parents is automatically granted thecitizenship of the parent whose last name they hold, so the child gets either the mother's or the father's place of origin. A child born to one Swiss parent and oneforeign parent acquires the citizenship, and thus the place of origin, of the Swiss parent.International confusionAlmost uniquely in the world (with the exception ofJapan, which lists one's Registered Domicile; and Sweden, which lists the mother's place of domicile as place of birth), the Swiss identity card, passport anddriving licence do not show the holder's birthplace, but only their place of origin. The vast majority of countries show the holder's actual birthplace on identitydocuments. This can lead to administrative issues for Swiss citizens abroad when asked to demonstrate their actual place of birth, as no such information existson any official Swiss identification documents. Only a minority of Swiss citizens have a place of origin identical to their birthplace. More confusion comes into playthrough the fact that people can have more than one place of origin.Significance and historyA citizen of a municipality does not enjoy a larger set of rights than anon-citizen of the same municipality. To vote in communal, cantonal or national matters, only the current place of residence matters – or in the case of citizensabroad, the last Swiss place of residence.The law previously required that a citizen's place of origin continued to bear all their social welfare costs for two yearsafter the citizen moved away. In 2012, the National Council voted by 151 to 9 votes to abolish this law. The place of domicile is now the sole payer of welfarecosts.In 1923, 1937, 1959 and 1967, more cantons signed treaties that assured that the place of domicile had to pay welfare costs instead of the place of origin,reflecting the fact that fewer and fewer people lived in their place of origin (1860: 59%, in 1910: 34%).In 1681, the Tagsatzung – the then Swiss parliament –decided that beggars should be deported to their place of origin, especially if they were insufficiently cared for by their residential community.In the 19th century,Swiss municipalities even offered free emigration to the United States if the Swiss citizen agreed to renounce municipal citizenship, and with that the right toreceive welfare.See alsoAncestral home (Chinese)Bon-gwanRegistered domicile== Notes and references ==Passage 6:Valley of DeathValley of Death may referto:PlacesValley of Death (Bydgoszcz), the site of a 1939 Nazi mass murder and mass grave site in northern PolandValley of Death (Crimea), the site of the Chargeof the Light Brigade in the 1854 Battle of BalaclavaValley of Death (Gettysburg), the 1863 Gettysburg Battlefield landform of Plum RunValley of Death (DuklaPass), the site of a tank battle during the Battle of the Dukla Pass in 1944 (World War II)The Valley of Death, an area of poisonous volcanic gas near theKikhpinych volcano in RussiaThe Valley of Death, an area of poisonous volcanic gas near the Tangkuban Perahu volcano in IndonesiaValley of Death, a nicknamefor the highly polluted city of Cubatão, BrazilOther usesThe Valley of Death (audio drama), a Doctor Who audio playThe Valley of Death (film), a 1968 westernfilm\"Valley of Death\", the flawed NewsStand: CNN & Time debut program that caused the Operation Tailwind controversyA literary element of \"The Charge of theLight Brigade\" by Alfred, Lord TennysonA reference to the difficulty of covering negative cash flow in the early stages of a start-up company; see Venturecapital\"The Valley of Death\", a song by the Swedish heavy metal band Sabaton from the 2022 album The War to End All WarsSee alsoAll pages with titlescontaining Valley of DeathDeath Valley (disambiguation)Valley of the Shadow of Death (disambiguation)Passage 7:Beaulieu-sur-LoireBeaulieu-sur-Loire (French"} +{"doc_id":"doc_156","qid":"","text":"Passage 1:1928 Washington and Lee Generals football teamThe 1928 Washington and Lee Generals football team represented Washington and Lee Universityduring the 1928 college football season.SchedulePassage 2:Christian ComptonAsbury Christian Compton (October 24, 1929 – April 9, 2006) was an Americanattorney and judge who served as a justice of the Supreme Court of Virginia from 1974 until 2000, and as a Senior justice until his death.Compton was a native ofAshland in Hanover County, Virginia, and graduated from Ashland High School in 1946.

It was nominated for Academy Awards for Best Actress in a Leading Role (Deborah Kerr) and Best Writing, Screenplay Basedon Material from Another Medium.The movie was filmed on the islands of Trinidad and Tobago. Producer Eugene Frenke later filmed a low-budget variation on thestory, The Nun and the Sergeant (1962), starring his wife Anna Sten.PlotIn the South Pacific in 1944, U.S. Marine Corporal Allison and his reconnaissance partyare disembarking from a U.S. Navy submarine when they are discovered and fired upon by the Japanese. The submarine's captain is forced to dive and leave thescouting team behind. Allison reaches a rubber raft and, after days adrift, reaches an island. He finds an abandoned settlement and a chapel with one occupant:Sister Angela, a novice Irish nun who has not yet taken her final vows. She has been on the island for only four days, having come with an elderly priest toevacuate another clergyman only to find that the Japanese had arrived first. The frightened natives who had brought them to the island left the pair withoutwarning, and the priest died soon after.For a while, they have the island to themselves, but then a detachment of Japanese troops arrives to set up ameteorological camp, forcing them to hide in a cave. When Sister Angela is unable to stomach the raw fish that Allison has caught, he sneaks into the Japanesecamp for supplies, narrowly avoiding detection. That night, they watch flashes from naval guns being fired in a sea battle over the horizon.The Japaneseunexpectedly leave the island and Allison professes his love for Sister Angela, proposing marriage. But she shows him her engagement ring and explains that it isa symbol of her forthcoming final holy vows. Later both in celebration and frustration, Allison gets drunk on sake. He blurts out that he considers her devotion toher vows to be pointless since they are stuck on the island \"like Adam and Eve.\" She runs out into a tropical rain and falls ill as a result. Allison, now sober andcontrite, finds her shivering. He carries her back, but the Japanese have returned, forcing them to retreat to the cave. Allison sneaks into the Japanese camp toget blankets. He kills a soldier who discovers him, alerting the enemy. To force him into the open, the Japanese set fire to the vegetation.When a Japanese soldierdiscovers the cave, Allison and Sister Angela have two choices: surrender or die from a hand grenade thrown inside. An ensuing explosion is not a grenade, but abomb; the Americans have begun attacking the island in preparation for a landing. Allison comments that the landing will not be easy because when theyreturned, the Japanese brought four artillery pieces and concealed them well on the island.Responding to what he attributes to a message from God, Allisondisables the artillery during the barrage that will precede the American assault while the Japanese are still in their bunkers. He is wounded but sabotages all theguns by removing their breechblocks, saving many American lives. After the landing, the Marine officers are puzzled by the missing breechblocks.Sister Angelaand the wounded Allison then say their goodbyes as the Marines begin occupation. Allison has reconciled himself to Sister Angela's dedication to Jesus, thoughshe reassures him that they will always be close \"companions.\" After being found, Allison is transferred by the Marines to the ship, with Sister Angela walkingbeside him.CastProductionFilming took place in Trinidad and Tobago, allowing Huston and Fox to use blocked funds in the UK, receive British film finance andqualify for the Eady Levy. The film was set later in the war than it was in the novel, which had Allison escaping from the Battle of Corregidor. In the film, the Alliesare on the offensive and U.S. Marines capture the island.The screenplay compares the rituals and commitment of the Roman Catholic Church and the UnitedStates Marine Corps.

One day, however, Harry finally gets his first pair of long pants.Immediately, his family expects him to marry hischildhood sweetheart Priscilla (Priscilla Bonner). Yet, Harry soon falls for Bebe Blair (Alma Bennett), a femme fatale from the big city who has a boyfriend in themob.Harry thinks that Bebe is interested in him as well, so he risks everything when Bebe ends up in jail. This leads to a lot of trouble for Harry. Throughout thewhole ordeal Priscilla waits for Harry to face reality.CastCritical receptionWhen it was released, film critic Mordaunt Hall gave the film a positive review. He wrote,\"Some hilarious passages enliven Harry Langdon's latest film oddity, Long' Pants...Although these incidents are acted with consummate skill, except for anoccasional repetition, it is quite obvious to any male who has made the decisive change from short to long trousers that the idea offers possibilities far greater andmore genuine than those that greet the eye. The answer is that Mr. Langdon has once again capitulated to his omnipotent band of gag-men. It may be all verywell for Harold Lloyd to rely on mechanical twists, but Langdon possesses a cherubic countenance, which offers him a chance in other directions...Mr. Langdon isstill Charles Spencer Chaplin's sincerest flatterer. His short coat reminds one of Chaplin, and now and again his footwork is like that of the great screencomedian.\"Film historian David Kalat reports that Buster Keaton, a long-time fan of Langdon's known for his own morbid jokes about death and killings, criticizeda scene in which Langdon's character tries to kill Priscilla as \"going too far\" in making light of murder.More recently, critic Maria Schneider reviewed Langdon'swork and wrote, \"Long Pants (1927), also directed by Capra, was a peculiar change of pace for Langdon, and possibly an attempt to poke fun at his baby-facedimage by casting him as a would-be lady-killer; sporting little of the ingenuity of The Strong Man, it was a box-office failure that set off the comedian's quickdecline into obscurity. An acquired taste, Harry Langdon's gentle absurdities and slow rhythms take some getting used to, but patient viewers will berewarded.\"Film critic Hal Erikson wrote of the film, \"Few comedies of the 1920s were as bizarre and surreal as Harry Langdon's Long Pants... Written by futuredirector Arthur Ripley, Long Pants is as kinky as any of Ripley's film noirs of the 1940s. Long Pants represents the second and final collaboration between starHarry Langdon and director Frank Capra, who was fired when Langdon wrong-headedly decided to become his own director, resulting in a series ofcareer-destroying flops.\"See alsoList of United States comedy filmsPassage 4:Jason Moore (director)Jason Moore (born October 22, 1970) is an American directorof film, theatre and television.Life and careerJason Moore was born in Fayetteville, Arkansas, and studied at Northwestern University.

Among his leading films were It Happened One Night (1934), Mr. Deeds Goes toTown (1936), You Can't Take It with You (1938), and Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939). During World War II, Capra served in the U.S. Army Signal Corpsand produced propaganda films, such as the Why We Fight series.After World War II, Capra's career declined as his later films, such as It's a Wonderful Life(1946), performed poorly when they were first released. In ensuing decades, however, It's a Wonderful Life and other Capra films were revisited favorably bycritics. Outside of directing, Capra was active in the film industry, engaging in various political and social activities. He served as President of the Academy ofMotion Picture Arts and Sciences, worked alongside the Writers Guild of America, and was head of the Directors Guild of America.Early lifeCapra was bornFrancesco Rosario Capra in Bisacquino, a village near Palermo, Sicily, Italy. He was the youngest of seven children of Salvatore Capra, a fruit grower, and theformer Rosaria \"Sara\" Nicolosi. Capra's family was Roman Catholic. Frank's siblings wereLuigia, Ignazia, Benedetto,Antonino Giuseppe, Antonia, and Anne. Thename \"Capra\", notes Capra's biographer Joseph McBride, represents his family's closeness to the land, and means \"goat\". He notes that the English word\"capricious\" derives from it, \"evoking the animal's skittish temperament\", adding that \"the name neatly expresses two aspects of Frank Capra's personality:emotionalism and obstinacy.\"In 1903, when he was five, Capra's family emigrated to the United States, traveling in a steerage compartment of the steamshipGermania — the cheapest way to make the passage. For Capra, the 13-day journey remained one of the worst experiences of his life: You're all together—youhave no privacy. You have a cot. Very few people have trunks or anything that takes up space. They have just what they can carry in their hands or in a bag.Nobody takes their clothes off. There's no ventilation, and it stinks like hell. They're all miserable. It's the most degrading place you could ever be.Capraremembers the ship's arrival in New York Harbor, where he saw \"a statue of a great lady, taller than a church steeple, holding a torch above the land we wereabout to enter\". He recalls his father's exclamation at the sight: Ciccio, look! Look at that! That's the greatest light since the star of Bethlehem! That's the light offreedom! Remember that.The family settled in Los Angeles's East Side (today Lincoln Heights) on avenue 18, which Capra described in his autobiography as anItalian \"ghetto\". Capra's father worked as a fruit picker and young Capra sold newspapers after school for 10 years, until he graduated from high school. Heattended the Manual Arts High School, with Jimmy Doolittle and Lawrence Tibbett as classmates. Instead of working after graduating, as his parents wanted, heenrolled in college.

The third son of Genghis Khan, he continued the expansion of the empire that his father had begun.Born in c. 1186 AD, Ögedei fought in numerous battles during his father's rise to power. After being granted a large appanage and taking a number of wives, including Töregene, he played a prominent role in the Mongol invasion of the Khwarazmian Empire. When his older brothers Jochi and Chagatai quarrelled over strategies when besieging Gurganj, Genghis appointed Ögedei sole commander; his successful capture of the city in 1221 ensured his military reputation. He was confirmed as heir after further infighting between his elder brothers led to both being excluded from succession plans. Genghis died in 1227, and Ögedei was elected as khagan in 1229, after a two-year regency led by his younger brother Tolui.As khan, Ögedei pursued the expansionist policies of his father. He launched a second invasion of Persia led by Chormaqan Noyan in 1230, which subdued the Khwarazmian prince Jalal al-Din and began to subjugate Georgia. He initiated the Mongol invasions of Korea, and his armies skirmished with the Song dynasty and in India. By the time of his death in 1241, large armies under the command of his nephew Batu Khan and Subutai had subdued the steppes and penetrated deep into Europe. These armies defeated Poland at Legnica and Hungary at Mohi before retreating. It is likely that this retreat was caused by the need to find a successor after Ögedei's death, although some scholars have speculated that the Mongols were simply unable to invade further because of logistical difficulties.As an administrator, Ögedei continued to develop the fast-growing Mongol state. Working with officials such as Yelü Chucai, he developed ortogh trading systems, instituted methods of tax collection, and established regional bureaucracies which controlled legal and economic affairs. He also founded the Mongol capital city, Karakorum, in the 1230s. Although historically disregarded in comparison to his father, especially on account of his alcoholism, he was known to be charismatic, good-natured, and intelligent.BackgroundÖgedei was the third son of Genghis Khan and Börte Ujin. He participated in the turbulent events of his father's rise. When Ögedei was 17 years old, Genghis Khan experienced the disastrous defeat of Khalakhaljid Sands against the army of Jamukha. Ögedei was heavily wounded and lost on the battlefield. His father's adopted brother and companion Borokhula rescued him. Although he was already married, in 1204 his father gave him Töregene, the wife of a defeated Merkit chief. The addition of such a wife was not uncommon in steppe culture.After Genghis was proclaimed Emperor or Khagan in 1206, myangans (thousands) of the Jalayir, Besud, Suldus, and Khongqatan clans were given to him as his appanage. Ögedei's territory occupied the Emil and Hobok rivers. According to his father's wish, Ilugei, the commander of the Jalayir, became Ögedei's tutor.Ögedei, along with his brothers, campaigned independently for the first time in November 1211 against the Jin dynasty. He was sent to ravage the land south through Hebei and then north through Shanxi in 1213. Ögedei's force drove the Jin garrison out of the Ordos, and he rode to the juncture of the Xi Xia, Jin, and Song domains.During the Mongol conquest of Khwarezmia, Ögedei and Chagatai massacred the residents of Otrar after a five-month siege in 1219–20 and joined Jochi who was outside the walls of Urganch. Because Jochi and Chagatai were quarreling over the military strategy, Ögedei was appointed by Genghis Khan to oversee the siege of Urganch. They captured the city in 1221. When the rebellion broke out in southeast Persia and Afghanistan, Ögedei also pacified Ghazni.Position as heirThe Empress Yisui insisted that Genghis Khan designate an heir before the invasion of the Khwarezmid Empire in 1219. After the terrible brawl between two elder sons Jochi and Chagatai, they agreed that Ögedei was to be chosen as heir. Genghis confirmed their decision.Genghis Khan died in 1227, and Jochi had died a year or two earlier. Ögedei's younger brother Tolui held the regency until 1229. Ögedei was elected supreme khan in 1229, according to the kurultai held at Kodoe Aral on the Kherlen River after Genghis' death, although this was never really in doubt as it was Genghis' clear wish that he be succeeded by Ögedei. After ritually declining three times, Ögedei was proclaimed Khagan of the Mongols on 13 September 1229. Chagatai continued to support his younger brother's claim.World conquestsExpansion in the Middle EastAfter destroying the Khwarazmian empire, Genghis Khan was free to move against Western Xia. In 1226, however, Jalal ad-Din Mingburnu, the last of the Khwarizm monarchs, returned to Persia to revive the empire lost by his father, Muhammad ‘Ala al-Din II. The Mongol forces sent against him in 1227 were defeated at Dameghan. Another army that marched against Jalal al-Din scored a pyrrhic victory in the vicinity of Isfahan but was unable to follow up that success.With Ögedei's consent to launch a campaign, Chormaqan qorchi left Bukhara at the head of 30,000 to 50,000 Mongol soldiers. He occupied Persia and Khorasan, two long-standing bases of Khwarazmian support. Crossing the Amu Darya River in 1230 and entering Khorasan without encountering any opposition, Chormaqan passed through quickly. He left a sizable contingent behind under the command of Dayir Baghatur, who had further instructions to invade western Afghanistan. Chormaqan and the majority of his army then entered Tabaristan (modern-day Mazandaran), a region between the Caspian Sea and Alborz mountains, in the autumn of 1230, thus avoiding the mountainous area to the south, which was controlled by the Nizari Ismailis (the Assassins).Upon reaching the city of Rey, Chormaqan made his winter camp there and dispatched his armies to pacify the rest of northern Persia. In 1231, he led his army southward and quickly captured the cities of Qum and Hamadan. From there, he sent armies into the regions of Fars and Kirman, whose rulers quickly submitted, preferring to pay tribute to Mongol overlords rather than having their states ravaged. Meanwhile, further east, Dayir Baghatur steadily achieved his goals in capturing Kabul, Ghazni, and Zabulistan. With the Mongols already in control of Persia, Jalal al-Din was isolated in Transcaucasia where he was banished. Thus all of Persia was added to the Mongol Empire.The fall of the Jin dynastyAt the end of 1230, responding to the Jin's unexpected defeat of Doqolqu cherbi (Mongol general), the Khagan went south to Shanxi province with Tolui, clearing the area of the Jin forces and taking the city of Fengxiang. After passing the summer in the north, they again campaigned against the Jin in Henan, cutting through territory of South China to assault the Jin's rear. By 1232 the Jin Emperor was besieged in his capital of Kaifeng. Ögedei soon departed, leaving the final conquest to his generals. After taking several cities, the Mongols, with the belated assistance of the Song dynasty, destroyed the Jin with the fall of Caizhou in February 1234. However, a viceroy of the Song murdered a Mongol ambassador, and the Song armies recaptured the former imperial capitals of Kaifeng, Luoyang, and Chang'an, which were now ruled by the Mongols.In addition to the war with the Jin dynasty, Ögedei crushed the Eastern Xia founded by Puxian Wannu in 1233, pacifying southern Manchuria. Ögedei subdued the Water Tatars in the northern part of the region and suppressed their rebellion in 1237.Conquest of Georgia and ArmeniaThe Mongols under Chormaqan returned to the Caucasus in 1232. The walls of Ganjak were breached by catapult and battering ram in 1235. The Mongols eventually withdrew after the citizens of Irbil agreed to send a yearly tribute to the court of the khagan. Chormaqan waited until 1238, when the force of Möngke Khan was also active in the north Caucasus. After subduing Armenia, Chormaqan took Tiflis. In 1238, the Mongols captured Lorhe whose ruler, Shahanshah, fled with his family before the Mongols arrived, leaving the rich city to its fate. After putting up a spirited defense at Hohanaberd, the city's ruler, Hasan Jalal, submitted to the Mongols. Another column then advanced against Gaian, ruled by Prince Avak. The Mongol commander Tokhta ruled out a direct assault and had his men construct a wall around the city, and Avak soon surrendered. By 1240, Chormaqan had completed the conquest of Transcaucasia, forcing the Georgian nobles to surrender.KoreaIn 1224, a Mongol envoy was killed in obscure circumstances and Korea stopped paying tribute. Ögedei dispatched Saritai qorchi to subdue Korea and avenge the dead envoy in 1231. Thus, Mongol armies began to invade Korea in order to subdue the kingdom. The Goryeo King temporarily submitted and agreed to accept Mongol overseers. When they withdrew for the summer, however, Choe U moved the capital from Kaesong to Ganghwa Island. Saritai was hit with a stray arrow and died as he campaigned against them.Ögedei announced plans for the conquest of the Koreans, the Southern Song, the Kipchaks and their European allies, all of whom killed Mongol envoys, at the kurultai in Mongolia in 1234. Ögedei appointed Danqu commander of the Mongol army and made Bog Wong, a defected Korean general, governor of 40 cities with their subjects. When the court of Goryeo sued for peace in 1238, Ögedei demanded that the king of Goryeo appear before him in person. The Goryeo king finally sent his relative Yeong Nong-gun Sung with ten noble boys to Mongolia as hostages, temporarily ending the war in 1241.EuropeThe Mongol Empire expanded westward under the command of Batu Khan to subdue the western steppes and drive into Europe. Their western conquests included Volga Bulgaria, almost all of Alania, Cumania, and Rus', along with a brief occupation of Hungary. They also invaded Poland, Croatia, Serbia, Bulgaria, the Latin Empire, and Austria. During the siege of Kolomna, the Khagan's half brother Khulgen was killed by an arrow.Amid the conquest, Ögedei's son Güyük and Chagatai's grandson Büri ridiculed Batu, and the Mongol camp suffered dissension. The Khagan harshly criticized Güyük: \"You broke the spirit of every man in your army... Do you think that the Russians surrendered because of how mean you were to your own men?\". He then sent Güyük back to continue the conquest of Europe. Güyük and another of Ögedei's sons, Kadan, attacked Transylvania and Poland, respectively.Although Ögedei Khan had granted permission to invade the remainder of Europe, all the way to the \"Great Sea\", the Atlantic Ocean, the Mongol advance stopped in East Europe early in 1242, the year after his death. Mongol accounts would later attribute the drive's failure to his untimely demise necessitating Batu's withdrawal to personally participate in the election of Ögedei's successor. Batu, however, never reached Mongolia for such an election and a successor wouldn't be named until 1246. A likely reason the advance stalled and never regained momentum is that European fortifications posed a strategic problem that Mongol commanders were unable to surmount with the resources they had available.Conflict with Song "} +{"doc_id":"doc_160","qid":"","text":"Passage 1:Dana BlanksteinDana Blankstein-Cohen (born March 3, 1981) is the executive director of the Sam Spiegel Film and Television School.

There, he spearheaded the conversion of a Nabisco box factory into the 300,000 square foot Dia:Beacon in NewYork's Hudson Valley, which houses Dia's collection of art from the 1960s to the present. Built in a former Nabisco box factory, the critically acclaimed museumhas been credited with catalyzing a cultural and economic revival within the formerly factory-based city of Beacon. Dia's collection nearly doubled in size duringGovan's tenure, but he also came under criticism for \"needlessly and permanently\" closing Dia's West 22nd Street building. During his time at Dia, Govan alsoworked closely with artists James Turrell and Michael Heizer, becoming an ardent supporter of Roden Crater and City, the artists' respective site-specific land artprojects under construction in the American southwest. Govan successfully lobbied Washington to have the 704,000 acres in central Nevada surrounding Citydeclared a national monument in 2015.LACMAIn February 2006, a search committee composed of eleven LACMA trustees, led by the late Nancy M. Daly, recruitedGovan to run the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Govan has stated that he was drawn to the role not only because of LACMA's geographical distance from itsEuropean and east coast peers, but also because of the museum's relative youth, having been established in 1961. \"I felt that because of this newness I had theopportunity to reconsider the museum,\" Govan has written, \"[and] Los Angeles is a good place to do that.\"Govan has been widely regarded for transformingLACMA into both a local and international landmark. Since Govan's arrival, LACMA has acquired by donation or purchase over 27,000 works for the permanentcollection, and the museum's gallery space has almost doubled thanks to the addition of two new buildings designed by Renzo Piano, the Broad Contemporary ArtMuseum (BCAM) and the Lynda and Stewart Resnick Pavilion. LACMA's annual attendance has grown from 600,000 to nearly 1.6 million in 2016.ArtistcollaborationsSince his arrival, Govan has commissioned exhibition scenography and gallery designs in collaboration with artists. In 2006, for example, Govaninvited LA artist John Baldessari to design an upcoming exhibition about the Belgian surrealist René Magritte, resulting in a theatrical show that reflected thetwisted perspective of the latter's topsy-turvy world. Baldessari has also designed LACMA's logo. Since then, Govan has also commissioned Cuban-American artistJorge Pardo to design LACMA's Art of the Ancient Americas gallery, described in the Los Angeles Times as a \"gritty cavern deep inside the earth ... crossed with ahigh-style urban lounge.\"Govan has also commissioned several large-scale public artworks for LACMA's campus from contemporary California artists. Theseinclude Chris Burden's Urban Light (2008), a series of 202 vintage street lamps from different neighborhoods in Los Angeles, arranged in front of the entrancepavilion, Barbara Kruger's Untitled (Shafted) (2008), Robert Irwin's Primal Palm Garden (2010), and Michael Heizer's Levitated Mass, a 340-ton bouldertransported 100 miles from the Jurupa Valley to LACMA, a widely publicized journey that culminated with a large celebration on Wilshire Boulevard. Thanks in partto the popularity of these public artworks, LACMA was ranked the fourth most instagrammed museum in the world in 2016.In his first three full years, themuseum raised $251 million—about $100 million more than it collected during the three years before he arrived. In 2010, it was announced that Govan will steerLACMA for at least six more years. In a letter dated February 24, 2013, Govan, along with the LACMA board's co-chairmen Terry Semel and Andrew Gordon,proposed a merger with the financially troubled Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles and a plan to raise $100 million for the combined museum.ZumthorProjectGovan's latest project is an ambitious building project, the replacement of four of the campus's aging buildings with a single new state of the art gallerybuilding designed by architect Peter Zumthor. As of January 2017, he has raised about $300 million in commitments. Construction is expected to begin in 2018,and the new building will open in 2023, to coincide with the opening of the new D Line metro stop on Wilshire Boulevard. The project also envisages dissolving allexisting curatorial departments and departmental collections. Some commentators have been highly critical of Govan's plans. Joseph Giovannini, recallingGovan's technically unrealizable onetime plan to hang Jeff Koons' Train sculpture from the facade of the Ahmanson Gallery, has accused Govan of \"driving theinstitution over a cliff into an equivalent mid-air wreck of its own\". Describing the collection merging proposal as the creation of a \"giant raffle bowl of some130,000 objects\", Giovannini also points out that the Zumthor building will contain 33% less gallery space than the galleries it will replace, and that the linearfootage of wall space available for displays will decrease by about 7,500 ft, or 1.5 miles. Faced with losing a building named in its honor, and anticipating that itsacquisitions could no longer be displayed, the Ahmanson Foundation withdrew its support.On the merging of the separate curatorial divisions to create anon-departmental art museum, Christopher Knight has pointed out that \"no other museum of LACMA's size and complexity does it\" that way, and characterizedthe museum's 2019 \"To Rome and Back\" exhibition, the first to take place under the new scheme, as \"bland and ineffectual\" and an \"unsuccessful sample ofwhat's to come\".Personal lifeGovan is married and has two daughters, one from a previous marriage. He and his family used to live in a $6 million mansion inHancock Park that was provided by LACMA - a benefit worth $155,000 a year, according to most recent tax filings - until LACMA decided that it would sell theproperty to make up for the museum's of almost $900 million in debt [2]. That home is now worth nearly $8 million and Govan now lives in a trailer park inMalibu's Point Dume region.Los Angeles CA 90020United States.

He is remembered as the father of Harold Beauchamp, who rose to fame as chairman of the Bank of New Zealand and was the father of writer Katherine Mansfield.BiographyBeauchamp came to Nelson from Australia on the Lalla Rookh, arriving on 23 February 1861.He lived much of his life in a number of locations around the top of the South Island, also Whanganui when Harold was 11 for seven years and then to the capital (Wellington). Then south to Christchurch and finally Picton and the Sounds. He had business failures and was bankrupted twice, in 1879 and 1884. He married Mary Stanley on the Victorian goldfields in 1854; Arthur and Mary lived in 18 locations over half a century, and are buried in Picton. Six of their ten children born between 1855 and 1893 died, including the first two sons born before Harold.Beauchamp represented the Picton electorate from 1866 to 1867, when he resigned. He had the energy and sociability required for politics, but not the private income then required to be a parliamentarian. He supported the working man and the subdivision of big estates, opposed the confiscation of Māori land and was later recognised as a founding Liberal, the party that Harold supported and was a \"fixer\" for. Yska calls their life an extended chronicle of rootlessness, business failure and almost ceaseless family tragedy and Harold called his father a rolling stone by instinct. Arthur also served on the council of Marlborough Province and is best-remembered for a 10-hour speech to that body when an attempt was made to relocate the capital from Picton to Blenheim.In 1866 he attempted to sue the Speaker of the House, David Monro. At the time the extent of privilege held by Members of Parliament was unclear; a select committee ruled that the case could proceed, but with a stay until after the parliamentary session.See alsoYska, Redmer (2017).

The youngest son of Joseph Smith and Emma Hale Smith, he was an influential missionary and leader in the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (RLDS Church). He was born approximately five months after the murder of his father. Joseph told Emma before he died what the child's name should be. From December 1847, David was raised by his mother and her second husband, Lewis C. Bidamon.Smith was a highly effective missionary for the RLDS Church. From 1865 to 1873, he conducted missionary trips throughout the Midwest, Utah Territory, and California, debating preachers of different theologies, including representatives of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). From 1873 to 1885, Smith was a counselor to his brother Joseph Smith III in the First Presidency of the RLDS Church. Later David's son Elbert A. Smith became a member of the First Presidency and a Presiding Patriarch in the RLDS Church.Smith was called the \"Sweet Singer of Israel\" because many who knew him, who heard him sing and joined him in song, said that he was the most inspiring singer of God they had encountered. The Joseph Smith Historic Site, maintained by the Community of Christ, houses Smith's original paintings of Nauvoo, Illinois.In a 1998 biography of Smith, From Mission to Madness: Last Son of the Mormon Prophet, author Valeen Tippetts Avery describes Smith's mental deterioration, starting with a probable breakdown early in 1870. In an 1869 letter to his mother, Emma Smith Bidamon, Smith had written at age 24: Mother I must tell you ... I feel very sad and the tears run out of my eyes all the time and I don't know why. ... strive as I will my heart sinks like lead. ... I must tell someone my troubles.Smith was confined to Northern Illinois Hospital and Asylum for the Insane beginning in 1877. He was held there for most of 27 years, dying in the hospital in 1904. Avery's biography draws on a large body of Smith's correspondence and poetry to examine both his personality and his emotional state.NotesPassage 3:John Crockett (frontiersman)John Crockett (circa 1753 – after 1802) was an American frontiersman and soldier, and the father of David \"Davy\" Crockett.Early lifeCrockett was born about 1753 in either Maryland or Frederick County, Virginia. \"Davy\" Crockett said in his autobiography that John Crockett was born either in Ireland or during the journey from Ireland to America; but later scholars disagreed, saying this had been John's father, also named David. His ancestors were of Scotch-Irish and possible Huguenot backgrounds. The Crockett/Crocketague name is a Registered Lineage with the Huguenot Society of the Founders of Manakin in the Colony of Virginia (FMCV) though \"Davy\" Crockett does not mention it in his autobiography.In 1775 or 1780, Crockett married Rebecca Hawkins, from Maryland.Father and family heads westIn 1776, David Crockett and the growing family moved to the Washington District in what is now the northeastern tip of Tennessee, near Rogersville, Tennessee.Father's demiseIn 1777, David Crockett and part of the family were killed in a Chickamauga Cherokee raid, led by Dragging Canoe, at the onset of the Cherokee–American wars. After the attack, the remaining Crocketts sold the property to a new settler in the area, a French Huguenot man, Colonel Thomas Amis.Military careerDuring the American War for Independence, Crockett fought along with the Overmountain Men from west of the Appalachians. The Overmountain Men often crossed the mountains to face the British in the war's southern campaign. Crockett fought at the Battle of Kings Mountain in 1780, a major victory for the colonists.Later life and workA respected man in the area, Crockett later became a magistrate, a farmer, and an unsuccessful land speculator. The family lived in what is now Greene County, Tennessee, close to the Nolichucky River and near the community of Limestone. It was here, at a location now commemorated as Davy Crockett Birthplace State Park, that David \"Davy\" Crockett was born in 1786. He was the fifth of the nine Crockett children, and was named for his grandfather. At the time of his birth, the area was part of the autonomous State of Franklin. In 1788, Crockett was justice of the court when a young Andrew Jackson received his law license according to some genealogies.After a flood destroyed their house, the Crocketts moved to the Morristown, Tennessee area (1792) and built a tavern on a newly constructed stage road between Abingdon, Virginia and Knoxville, Tennessee. The Crockett Tavern Museum now stands on the site, housed in a reconstruction of the tavern.Young \"Davy\" helps outIn 1798, when David was 12, Crockett hired him out to Jacob Siler to drive cattle. After young David fulfilled his original obligation to Siler, he returned to his father's home. The family sent Davy to a school that had been established nearby, but he did not like school and quit attending after a few days. The elder Crockett was drunk when he learned his son was avoiding school and he punished Davy severely, leading him to flee and stay away for years. David Crockett returned in 1802 and helped pay off his father's debts.DeathIt's not clear when Crockett died, though some genealogies have his year of death as 1834.Crockett family treePassage 4:Jorge TrezeguetJorge Ernesto Trezeguet (born 13 May 1951) is an Argentine former professional footballer who played as a defender. He is the father of David Trezeguet.CareerTrezeguet played for Estudiantes (BA), Almagro, Deportivo Español, Sportivo Italiano, El Porvenir and Chacarita Juniors in Argentina, as well as FC Rouen in France. It was while playing for Rouen that his son David was born.He was provisionally banned for failing a doping control in 1974 while playing for Estudiantes (BA) in the second-tier Primera B Nacional along with two teammates. He was subsequently pardoned, but his career was adversely impacted by the allegations.Trezeguet later in his career worked as a physical trainer. Currently he is the agent for his son David as well as a European scout for Juventus.Passage 5:Cleomenes IICleomenes II (Greek: Κλεομένης; died 309 BC) was king of Sparta from 370 to 309 BC. He was the second son of Cleombrotus I, and grandfather of Areus I, who succeeded him. Although he reigned for more than 60 years, his life is completely unknown, apart from a victory at the Pythian Games in 336 BC. Several theories have been suggested by modern historians to explain such inactivity, but none has gained consensus.Life and reignCleomenes was the second son of king Cleombrotus I (r. 380–371), who belonged to the Agiad dynasty, one of the two royal families of Sparta (the other being the Eurypontids). Cleombrotus died fighting Thebes at the famous Battle of Leuctra in 371. His eldest son Agesipolis II succeeded him, but he died soon after in 370. Cleomenes' reign was instead exceptionally long, lasting 60 years and 10 months according to Diodorus of Sicily, a historian of the 1st century BC. In a second statement, Diodorus nevertheless tells that Cleomenes II reigned 34 years, but he confused him with his namesake Cleomenes I (r. 524–490).Despite the outstanding length of his reign, very little can be said about Cleomenes. He has been described by modern historians as a \"nonentity\". Perhaps that the apparent weakness of Cleomenes inspired the negative opinion of the hereditary kingship at Sparta expressed by Aristotle in his Politics (written between 336 and 322). However, Cleomenes may have focused on internal politics within Sparta, because military duties were apparently given to the Eurypontid Agesilaus II (r. 400–c.360), Archidamus III (r. 360–338), and Agis III (r. 338–331). As the Spartans notably kept their policies secret from foreign eyes, it would explain the silence of ancient sources on Cleomenes. Another explanation is that his duties were assumed by his elder son Acrotatus, described as a military leader by Diodorus, who mentions him in the aftermath of the Battle of Megalopolis in 331, and again in 315.Cleomenes' only known deed was his chariot race victory at the Pythian Games in Delphi in 336. In the following autumn, he gave the small sum of 510 drachmas for the reconstruction of the Temple of Apollo at Delphi, which had been destroyed by an earthquake in 373. Cleomenes might have made this gift as a pretext to go to Delphi and engage in informal diplomacy with other Greek states, possibly to discuss the consequences of the recent assassination of the Macedonian king Philip II.One short witticism of Cleomenes regarding cockfighting is preserved in the Moralia, written by the philosopher Plutarch in the early 2nd century AD:Somebody promised to give to Cleomenes cocks that would die fighting, but he retorted, \"No, don't, but give me those that kill fighting.\"As Acrotatus died before Cleomenes, the latter's grandson Areus I succeeded him while still very young, so Cleomenes' second son Cleonymus acted as regent until Areus' majority. Some modern scholars also give Cleomenes a daughter named Archidamia, who played an important role during Pyrrhus' invasion of the Peloponnese, "} +{"doc_id":"doc_162","qid":"","text":"Passage 1:Mark RockefellerMark Fitler Rockefeller (born January 26, 1967) is a fourth-generation member of the Rockefeller family.

Jean de Belliqueux (warlike),was Duke of Cleves and Count of Mark.LifeJohn was the son of Adolph I, Duke of Cleves and Mary of Burgundy. He was raised in Brussels at the Burgundian courtof his uncle Philip the Good. He ruled Cleves from 1448 from 1481, and Mark since 1461 after the death of his uncle Gerhard who had waged war on his ownbrother.John fought 3 wars with the Electorate of Cologne and finally defeated Ruprecht of the Palatinate, conquering the cities of Xanten and Soest. In thesewars, he was supported by his uncle Philip the Good, bringing Cleves-Mark into the Burgundian sphere of influence. His marriage with Elisabeth Countess ofNevers, from a sideline of the House of Burgundy, only strengthened this influence. John also took sides in the Münster Diocesan Feud supporting the aspirationsof the House of Hoya to the episcopacy in Münster.John was also made a Knight in the Burgundian Order of the Golden Fleece in 1451, with which he wasdepicted by Rogier van der Weyden.

This place is often used in legal documents,together with name and date of birth, to uniquely identify a person. Practice regarding whether this place should be a country, a territory or a city/town/localitydiffers in different countries, but often city or territory is used for native-born citizen passports and countries for foreign-born ones.As a general rule with respectto passports, if the place of birth is to be a country, it's determined to be the country that currently has sovereignty over the actual place of birth, regardless ofwhen the birth actually occurred. The place of birth is not necessarily the place where the parents of the new baby live. If the baby is born in a hospital in anotherplace, that place is the place of birth. In many countries, this also means that the government requires that the birth of the new baby is registered in the place ofbirth.Some countries place less or no importance on the place of birth, instead using alternative geographical characteristics for the purpose of identitydocuments. For example, Sweden has used the concept of födelsehemort (\"domicile of birth\") since 1947. This means that the domicile of the baby's mother isthe registered place of birth. The location of the maternity ward or other physical birthplace is considered unimportant.Similarly, Switzerland uses the concept ofplace of origin. A child born to Swiss parents is automatically assigned the place of origin of the parent with the same last name, so the child either gets theirmother's or father's place of origin. A child born to one Swiss parent and one foreign parent acquires the place of origin of their Swiss parent. In a Swiss passportand identity card, the holder's place of origin is stated, not their place of birth. In Japan, the registered domicile is a similar concept.In some countries (primarilyin the Americas), the place of birth automatically determines the nationality of the baby, a practice often referred to by the Latin phrase jus soli. Almost allcountries outside the Americas instead attribute nationality based on the nationality(-ies) of the baby's parents (referred to as jus sanguinis).There can be someconfusion regarding the place of birth if the birth takes place in an unusual way: when babies are born on an airplane or at sea, difficulties can arise. The place ofbirth of such a person depends on the law of the countries involved, which include the nationality of the plane or ship, the nationality(-ies) of the parents and/orthe location of the plane or ship (if the birth occurs in the territorial waters or airspace of a country).Some administrative forms may request the applicant's\"country of birth\". It is important to determine from the requester whether the information requested refers to the applicant's \"place of birth\" or \"nationality atbirth\". For example, US citizens born abroad who acquire US citizenship at the time of birth, the nationality at birth will be USA (American), while the place ofbirth would be the country in which the actual birth takes place.Reference list8 FAM 403.4 Place of BirthPassage 6:Dietrich IX, Count of MarkDietrich IX, Count ofMark (1374–1398) was the Count of Mark from 1393 until 1398.Dietrich was the second son of Count Adolf III of the Marck and Margaret of Jülich.His father hadacquired the County of Cleves in 1368 and reserved this title for his eldest son Adolph to succeed him after his death. Dietrich already received the title of Countof Mark in 1393, when his father was still alive. When Dietrich fell in battle in 1398, he was succeeded by his elder brother Adolph, who had become Count ofCleves in 1394. Thus the County of Mark and the County of Cleves were reunited again.Passage 7:Beaulieu-sur-LoireBeaulieu-sur-Loire (French pronunciation:[boljø sy\u0000 lwa\u0000], literally Beaulieu on Loire) is a commune in the Loiret department in north-central France.

He is best known for his sensitive dramas, including To Kill aMockingbird (1962), Summer of '42 (1971), The Other (1972), Same Time, Next Year (1978), and The Man in the Moon (1991). He was also known in the 1960sfor his extensive collaborations with producer Alan J. Pakula.Early lifeMulligan served in either the U.S. Navy or the U.S. Marine Corps during World War II as aradio operator. At war's end, he graduated from Fordham University, then obtained work in the editorial department of The New York Times, but left to pursue acareer in television.CareerTelevisionMulligan began his television career as a messenger boy for CBS television. He worked diligently, and by 1948 was directingmajor dramatic television shows.In the early 1950s he directed many episodes of Suspense. He followed this directing for The Philco Television Playhouse,Armstrong Circle Theatre, The Alcoa Hour, The United States Steel Hour, Studio One in Hollywood, Goodyear Playhouse and The Seven Lively Arts.1950s–1960sIn1957 Mulligan directed his first motion picture, Fear Strikes Out, starring Anthony Perkins as tormented baseball player Jimmy Piersall. The film was the firstfeature he would direct alongside longtime collaborator Alan J. Pakula, then a big-time Hollywood producer. Pakula once confessed that \"working with Bob set meback in directing several years because I enjoyed working with him, and we were having a good time, and I enjoyed the work.\"Mulligan returned to television todirect episodes of Playhouse 90, Rendezvous, The Dupont Show of the Month, and TV versions of Ah, Wilderness! and The Moon and Sixpence. In 1959 he won anEmmy Award for directing The Moon and Sixpence, a television production that was the American small-screen debut of Laurence Olivier.Mulligan returned tofeature films to make two Tony Curtis vehicles, The Rat Race and The Great Imposter. He was going to make a third, The Wine of Youth but it was notmade.Mulligan then made two Rock Hudson vehicles, Come September and The Spiral Road.Pakula collaborationIn the early 1960s, Pakula returned to Mulliganwith the proposition of directing To Kill a Mockingbird (1962), based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Harper Lee. Mulligan accepted the offer despite theawareness that \"the other studios didn't want it because what's it about? It's about a middle-aged lawyer with two kids. There's no romance, no violence (exceptoff-screen). There's no action. What is there? Where's the story?\" With the help of a screenplay by Horton Foote as well as the pivotal casting of Gregory Peck inthe role of Atticus Finch, the film became a huge hit, and Mulligan was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Director.Mulligan and Pakula followed To Kill aMockingbird with five more films. Love With the Proper Stranger (1963), starred Natalie Wood and Steve McQueen. Baby the Rain Must Fall (1965) starredMcQueen. Inside Daisy Clover (1965) starred Wood. Up the Down Staircase (1967) was based on a humorous novel by Bel Kaufman and starred Sandy Dennis asthe schoolteacher Sylvia Barrett. The Stalking Moon (1968), based on a Western novel by T.V. Olsen and reuniting Mulligan and Pakula with Peck, this time in therole of Sam Varner, a scout who attempts to escort a white woman (Eva Marie Saint) and her half-Indian son to New Mexico after they are pursued by abloodthirsty Apache, the boy's father. After this film, Pakula parted company from Mulligan to pursue his own career in directing.1970sMulligan began the 1970swith The Pursuit of Happiness (1971), based on the 1968 novel by Thomas Rogers, which had been a finalist for the National Book Award. The film starred MichaelSarrazin as William Popper, a college student (disillusioned with both right-wing and left-wing American politics) whose life is complicated when he accidentallyruns over and kills an elderly woman and is quickly sentenced to one year in prison for vehicular manslaughter. He then contemplates breaking out of prison andfleeing the country with his girlfriend (played by Barbara Hershey), since neither feels their lives have made any significant difference in America.Also in 1971,Mulligan released Summer of '42 (1971), which was based on the coming-of-age novel by Herman Raucher and starred Gary Grimes as a teenage stand-in forRaucher who spends a summer vacation in 1942 on Nantucket Island lusting after a young woman (Jennifer O'Neill) whose husband has shipped off to fight in thewar. A box office smash, Summer of '42 went on to gross over $20 million, and Mulligan was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Director.Summer of'42 was followed by The Other (1972), a thriller film scripted by former Hollywood actor Thomas Tryon from his own book. It told the story of two 9-year-oldboys, Niles and Holland Perry (played by real-life twins Chris and Marty Udvarnoky), who get involved in a series of grisly murders at their home on PeaquotLanding in the 1930s. Although the film was not an immediate success at the box office, it has since gone on to gain a steady cult following.In the mid-1970s,Mulligan was briefly engaged in talks with producers Julia and Michael Phillips to direct Taxi Driver (1976), with Jeff Bridges to star as the psychotic Travis Bickle.Objections posed by screenwriter Paul Schrader caused the project to be turned over to Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro instead.Mulligan proceeded byrounding out the 1970s with three films dominated by performances from A-list Hollywood actors: Jason Miller as a Los Angeles locksmith threatened by hitmen inThe Nickel Ride (1974); Richard Gere as an Italian-American youth trying to break from his working-class family in Bloodbrothers (1978); and Alan Alda and EllenBurstyn portraying George and Doris, a pair of long-term adulterers, in Same Time Next Year (1978), based on the play by Bernard Slade.1980sAs the 1980sdawned, Mulligan found work harder to come by, succeeding in directing only two films by the end of the decade. Mulligan had started directing Rich and Famousfor MGM but asked to be replaced after a week of shooting; George Cukor replaced him.Mulligan was also fired from directing The Pursuit of D.B. Cooper becausehe allegedly took seven days to shoot a whitewater rapids chase.At another point, according to screenwriter Hampton Fancher, Mulligan was attached to directBlade Runner; his adaptation would have starred Robert Mitchum. Fancher states that the deal with Mulligan fell apart because of \"ego\" and because the studio atthe time, Universal, wanted a happier ending. Mulligan was also briefly attached to direct Cutter's Way; his version would have starred Dustin Hoffman.Kiss MeGoodbye (1982), starring Sally Field, James Caan and Jeff Bridges, was an attempt at a comedic remake of the Brazilian film Dona Flor and Her Two Husbands,and was critically derided, although it was a modest commercial success.Clara's Heart (1988), starring Whoopi Goldberg and a young Neil Patrick Harris, wasreleased five years later to negative box office numbers and reviews, and was panned on television by Siskel and Ebert. It has, however, received recent praisefrom film professor Robert Keser.1990sIn the 1990s, at the age of 66, Mulligan would release his final film, The Man in the Moon (1991), starring a 14-year-oldReese Witherspoon, in her film debut. The film was praised by Roger Ebert, who included it at #8 in his Top 10 list of the best films of 1991, declaring, \"Nothingelse [Mulligan] has done... approaches the purity and perfection of The Man in the Moon... (with a) poetic, bittersweet tone, and avoid(ing) the sentimentalismand cheap emotion that could have destroyed this story.\"Later in March 1992, Mulligan made headlines when he angrily took his name off of airline cuts of TheMan in the Moon, after he had learned that the film would be heavily censored by American and Delta flights. In an interview with Ebert, Mulligan explained, \"Theairlines demanded so many excessive and unreasonable cuts and changes that I took my name off the film... it's the first time I've ever done that.\"Before hisdeath in 2008, Mulligan had commissioned playwright Beth Henley to write a screenplay from the novel A Long and Happy Life by Reynolds Price, which Mulligan"} +{"doc_id":"doc_164","qid":"","text":"Passage 1:Princess Irene of Hesse and by RhinePrincess Irene of Hesse and by Rhine (Irene Luise Marie Anne; 11 July 1866 – 11 November 1953), later PrincessHenry of Prussia, was the third child and third daughter of Princess Alice of the United Kingdom and Louis IV, Grand Duke of Hesse and by Rhine. Her maternalgrandparents were Queen Victoria and Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. Her paternal grandparents were Prince Charles of Hesse and by Rhine andPrincess Elisabeth of Prussia. She was the wife of Prince Henry of Prussia, a younger brother of Wilhelm II, German Emperor and her first cousin. The SSPrinzessin Irene, a liner of the North German Lloyd was named after her.Her siblings included Princess Victoria of Hesse and by Rhine, wife of Prince Louis ofBattenberg, Grand Duchess Elizabeth Feodorovna of Russia, wife of Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich of Russia, Ernest Louis, Grand Duke of Hesse and by Rhine,and Empress Alexandra Feodorovna of Russia, wife of Tsar Nicholas II of Russia. Like her younger sister, the empress, Irene was a carrier of the hemophilia gene,and Irene would lose her sisters Alix and Elisabeth in Russia to the Bolsheviks.Early lifeShe received her first name, which was taken from the Greek word for\"peace\", because she was born at the end of the Austro-Prussian War. Alice considered Irene an unattractive child and once wrote to her sister Victoria that Irenewas \"not pretty\". She would never be considered a great beauty like her sisters Elisabeth and Alix, but she did have a pleasant, even disposition. Princess Alicebrought up her daughters simply. An English nanny presided over the nursery and the children ate plain meals of rice puddings and baked apples and wore plaindresses. Her daughters were taught how to do housework, such as baking cakes, making their own beds, laying fires and sweeping and dusting their rooms.Princess Alice also emphasised the need to give to the poor and often took her daughters on visits to hospitals and charities.The family was devastated in 1873when Irene's haemophiliac younger brother Friedrich, nicknamed \"Frittie\", fell through an open window, struck his head on the balustrade and died hours later ofa brain hemorrhage. In the months following the toddler's death, Alice frequently took her children to his grave to pray and was melancholy on anniversariesassociated with him. In the autumn of 1878 Irene, her siblings (except for Elisabeth) and her father became ill with diphtheria. Her younger sister Princess Marie,nicknamed \"May\", died of the disease. Her mother, exhausted from nursing the children, also became infected. Knowing she was in danger of dying, Princess Alicedictated her will, including instructions about how to bring up her daughters and how to run the household. She died of diphtheria on 14 December1878.Following Alice's death, Queen Victoria resolved to act as a mother to her Hessian grandchildren. Princess Irene and her surviving siblings spent annualholidays in England and their grandmother sent instructions to their governess regarding their education and approving the pattern of their dresses. With hersister Alix, Irene was a bridesmaid at the 1885 wedding of their maternal aunt, Princess Beatrice, to Prince Henry of Battenberg.MarriageIrene married PrinceHenry of Prussia, the third child and second son of Frederick III, German Emperor and Victoria, Princess Royal on 24 May 1888 at the chapel of theCharlottenburg Palace in Berlin. As their mothers were sisters, Irene and Henry were first cousins. Their marriage displeased Queen Victoria because she had notbeen told about the courtship until they had already decided to marry. At the time of the ceremony, Irene's uncle and father-in-law, the German emperor, wasdying of throat cancer, and less than a month after the ceremony, Irene's cousin and brother-in-law ascended the throne as Kaiser Wilhelm II. Heinrich's mother,Empress Victoria, was fond of Irene. However, Empress Victoria was shocked because Irene did not wear a shawl or scarf to disguise her pregnancy when she waspregnant with her first son, the haemophiliac Prince Waldemar, in 1889. Empress Victoria, who was fascinated by politics and current events, also couldn'tunderstand why Heinrich and Irene never read a newspaper. However, the couple were happily married and they were known as \"The Very Amiables\" by theirrelatives because of their pleasant natures. The marriage produced three sons.ChildrenFamily relationshipsIrene transmitted the haemophilia gene to her eldestand youngest sons, Waldemar and Heinrich. Waldemar's health worried her from early childhood. She was later devastated when the youngest child,four-year-old Heinrich, died after he fell and bumped his head in February 1904. Six months after little Heinrich's death, Irene became an aunt to Tsarevich Alexeiof Russia, son of her youngest sister, Tsarina Alexandra, who also had hemophilia.Irene, raised to believe in a proper Victorian code of behaviour, was easilyshocked by what she saw as immorality. In 1884, the same year that her elder sister Victoria married Prince Louis of Battenberg, another sister, Elisabeth,married Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich of Russia, and when Elisabeth converted from Lutheranism to Russian Orthodoxy, in 1891, Irene was deeply upset. Shewrote to her father that she \"cried terribly\" over Elisabeth’s decision. In 1892, Irene's father, Grand Duke Louis IV, died, and her brother, Ernest, succeeded himas Grand Duke of Hesse. Two years later, in May 1894, Ernest Louis was married off by Queen Victoria to a first cousin, Victoria Melita of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. Itwas amidst the wedding festivities that Irene's youngest surviving sister, Alix, accepted the marriage proposal of Tsarevich Nicholas, a second cousin, and whenNicholas' father died prematurely in November 1894, Irene and her husband travelled to St. Petersburg to be present at both his funeral and the wedding of Alix,who had taken the name Alexandra Feodorovna upon her conversion to Orthodoxy, to the new tsar, Nicholas II. Despite the disagreement that she had over theconversion of two of her sisters to Russian Orthodoxy, she remained close with all of her siblings. In 1907, Irene helped arrange what later turned out to be adisastrous marriage between Elisabeth’s ward, Grand Duchess Maria Pavlovna of Russia, to Prince Vilhelm, Duke of Södermanland. Wilhelm's mother, the Queenof Sweden, was an old friend of both Irene and Elisabeth. Grand Duchess Maria later wrote that Irene pressured her to go through with the marriage when shehad doubts. She told Maria that ending the engagement would \"kill\" Elisabeth. In 1912, Irene was a source of support to her sister Alix when Alexei nearly died ofcomplications of haemophilia at the Imperial Family's hunting lodge in Poland.Later lifeIrene's ties to her sisters were disrupted by the advent of World War I,which put them on opposing sides of the war. When the war ended, she received word that Alix, her husband and children and her sister Elizabeth had been killedby the Bolsheviks.When Anna Anderson surfaced in Berlin in the early 1920s, claiming to be the surviving Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna of Russia, Irenevisited the woman, but decided that Anderson could not be the niece she had last seen in 1913. Princess Irene was not impressed.\"I saw immediately that shecould not be one of my nieces. Even though I had not seen them for nine years, the fundamental facial characteristics could not have altered to that degree, inparticular the position of the eyes, the ear, etc. .. At first sight one could perhaps detect a resemblance to Grand Duchess Tatiana.\"Grand Duchess OlgaAlexandrovna, sister of the murdered tsar, commented on the visit of Princess Irene,\"It was an unsatisfactory meeting, but the woman's supporters said thatPrincess Irene had not known her niece very well and all the rest of it.\" Irene's husband, Heinrich, said that the mention of Anderson upset Irene too much andordered that no one was to discuss Anderson in his presence. Heinrich died in 1929. Anna Anderson biographer Peter Kurth wrote that several years later, Irene'sson (Prince Sigismund) posed questions to Anderson through an intermediary about their shared childhood and declared that her answers were all accurate. Irenelater adopted Sigismund's daughter, Barbara, born in 1920, as her heir after Sigismund left Germany to live in Costa Rica during the 1930s. Sigismund declinedto return to Germany to live after World War II.HonoursGrand Duchy of Hesse: Dame of the Grand Ducal Hessian Order of the Golden Lion, 21 March 1883Kingdom of Prussia:Dame of the Order of Louise, 1st DivisionDame of the Wilhelm-OrdenRed Cross Medal, 1st Class, 22 October 1898 Kingdom of Bavaria: MeritCross for Volunteer Nurses Austria-Hungary: Grand Cross of the Imperial Austrian Order of Elizabeth, 1900 Russian Empire: Grand Cross of the Imperial Order ofSaint Catherine United Kingdom:Queen Victoria Golden Jubilee Medal, 1887Royal Order of Victoria and Albert, 2nd ClassAncestryPassage 2:Princess VictoriaMelita of Saxe-Coburg and GothaGrand Duchess Victoria Feodorovna of Russia (born Princess Victoria Melita of Edinburgh; 25 November 1876 – 2 March 1936),was the third child and second daughter of Alfred, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, and of Grand Duchess Maria Alexandrovna of Russia. She was agranddaughter of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom and also of Emperor Alexander II of Russia.Born a British princess, Victoria spent her early life in Englandand lived for three years in Malta, where her father served in the Royal Navy. In 1889 the family moved to Coburg, where Victoria's father became the reigningduke in 1893. In her teens Victoria fell in love with her first cousin Grand Duke Kirill Vladimirovich of Russia (the son of her mother's brother, Grand DukeVladimir Alexandrovich of Russia) but his faith, Orthodox Christianity, discouraged marriage between first cousins. Bowing to family pressure, Victoria married herpaternal first cousin Ernest Louis, Grand Duke of Hesse and by Rhine in 1894, following the wishes of their grandmother, Queen Victoria. The marriage failed –Victoria Melita scandalized the royal families of Europe when she divorced her husband in 1901. The couple's only child, Princess Elisabeth of Hesse and by Rhine,died of typhoid fever in 1903.Victoria married Grand Duke Kirill Vladimirovich in 1905. They wed without the formal approval of Britain's King Edward VII (as theRoyal Marriages Act 1772 would have required), and in defiance of Russia's Emperor Nicholas II. In retaliation, the Tsar stripped Kirill of his offices and honours,also initially banishing the couple from Russia. They had two daughters and settled in Paris before being allowed to visit Russia in 1909. In 1910 they moved toRussia, where Nicholas recognized Victoria Melita as Grand Duchess Victoria Feodorovna. After the fall of the Russian monarchy in 1917 they escaped to Finland(then still part of the Russian Empire) where she gave birth to her only son in August 1917. In exile they lived for some years among her relatives in Germany,and from the late 1920s on an estate they bought in Saint-Briac in Brittany. In 1926 Kirill proclaimed himself Russian emperor in exile, and Victoria supported herhusband's claims.

Maddin was one of a number of directors (including Atom Egoyan and DavidCronenberg) commissioned to make four-minute short films that would screen prior to the various feature films at the 2000 festival as part of the special Preludesprogram. After hearing rumours that other directors were planning films with a small number of shots, Maddin decided that his film would instead contain over100 shots per minute, and enough plot for a feature-length film. Maddin then wrote and shot The Heart of the World in the style of Russian constructivism, takingthe commission at its literal face value, as a call to produce a propaganda film. Even in its expanded, 6-minute version, The Heart of the World runs at abreakneck speed, averaging roughly two shots per second, a pace intensified by the background music, Time, Forward! by Georgy Sviridov.Plot summaryThe plotof The Heart of the World concerns two brothers, Osip and Nikolai, who compete for the love of the same woman: Anna, a state scientist studying the Earth'score. Anna discovers that the heart of the world is in danger of a fatal heart attack (which would mean the end of the world), and the brothers compete amongstthe public panic. Nikolai is a mortician and tries to impress Anna with assembly-line embalming, while Osip is an actor playing Christ in the Passion Play and triesto impress Anna through his suffering.

Since completing his first filmin 1985, Maddin has become one of Canada's most well-known and celebrated filmmakers.Maddin has directed twelve feature films and numerous short films, inaddition to publishing three books and creating a host of installation art projects. A number of Maddin's recent films began as or developed from installation artprojects, and his books also relate to his film work. Maddin is known for his fascination with lost Silent-era films and for incorporating their aesthetics into his ownwork. Maddin has been the subject of much critical praise and academic attention, including two books of interviews with Maddin and two book-length academicstudies of his work. Maddin was appointed to the Order of Canada, the country's highest civilian honour, in 2012.Maddin first served as a visiting lecturer atHarvard University's Department of Art, Film, and Visual Studies in 2015. Until then, he had always lived in Winnipeg.Life and careerEarly life (1956–84)GuyMaddin was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, to Herdis Maddin (a hairdresser) and Charles \"Chas\" Maddin (grain clerk and general manager of the Maroons, aWinnipeg hockey team). Maddin has three older siblings: Ross (b. 1944), Cameron (1946–63), and Janet (b. 1949). Maddin attended Winnipeg public schools—the Greenway School (elementary school), General Wolfe (junior high school), and the Daniel McIntyre Collegiate Institute (high school).Maddin's early life wasmarked by tragedy—in February 1963, his brother Cameron killed himself on the grave of his girlfriend, who had died in a car accident. Maddin studied economicsat the University of Winnipeg, graduating in 1977 without a plan to become a filmmaker. That same year, Maddin's father died suddenly after a stroke, andMaddin married Martha Jane Waugh. Their daughter, Jilian, was born in 1978, and Maddin and Waugh divorced in 1979.After graduating, Maddin held a variety ofodd jobs, including bank manager, house painter, and photo archivist. Maddin began to take film classes at the University of Manitoba. There, Maddin met filmprofessor Stephen Snyder, who held regular film screenings of titles from the school's film library at his home. Maddin attended, as did some early collaborators,including his friend John Boles Harvie, the future star of Maddin's first film, and filmmaker John Paizs. Maddin appeared as an actor in two of Paizs' short films, asa student in Oak, Ivy, and Other Dead Elms (1982) and as a transvestite, homicidal nurse in The International Style (1983). Maddin drew early inspiration fromthe films of John Paizs, as well as experimental shorts by Stephen Snyder. Other early influences included L'Age d'Or by Luis Buñuel (in collaboration withSalvador Dalí) and Eraserhead by David Lynch. Maddin has stated that these films, along with the work of Paizs and Snyder, \"were movies that were primitive inmany respects. They were low budget, they used nonactors or nonstars, they used atmospheres and ideas, and were unbelievably honest, frank, and, therefore,exciting to me. They made moviemaking seem possible to me.\" Maddin also met film professor George Toles, who became Maddin's cowriter on many of hisfuture films.

His father was from Warsaw, descended fromRabbi Yitzchak Meir Alter, the founder of the Gur Hasidic sect. His father owned a publishing house in Breslau. In 1939, on the eve of World War II, the familyimmigrated to Palestine. Rotenberg's father opened a small printing press in Jerusalem. Rotenberg grew up in a Haredi household, with three brothers and asister.In 1960, he graduated from the Hebrew University with a BA in education and sociology from the School of Social Work. In 1962, he received his MSWfrom New York University. In 1969, he was awarded a Ph.D. in social welfare and social psychology at University of California, Berkeley.In 1970, Rotenberg joinedthe faculty of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, becoming a full professor in 1980. He founded a new sub-discipline in psychology and religion. He is the authorof ten books, which have been translated into English, French, Portuguese and Japanese. Rotenberg has taught at University of Pennsylvania, University ofCalifornia, Berkeley, the Jewish Theological Seminary, City University of New York and Yeshiva University.Clinical approachRotenberg has developed innovativetheories based on psychological interpretations of Hasidic and Midrashic concepts. He describes his approach as \"re-biography\", i.e., \"rereading one's biographyso it becomes possible to live with the text.\" In an interview with Haaretz newspaper he said: \"All of life is a text, and I am proposing a new term - recomposition,rewriting the melody of life. You do not have to erase the past, but it can be re-composed, and to that end I cite examples from the Gemara.\"TzimtzumparadigmRotenberg has adopted the Kabbalistic-Hasidic tzimtzum paradigm, which he believes has significant implications for clinical therapy. According to thisparadigm, God's \"self-contraction\" to vacate space for the world serves as a model for human behavior and interaction. The tzimtzum model promotes a uniquecommunity-centric approach which contrasts starkly with the language of Western psychology.AwardsIn 2009, Rotenberg was awarded the Israel Prize for socialwork, in connection with his research in social welfare.Published worksDamnation and Deviance: The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of FailureRewriting the Self:Psychotherapy and MidrashThe Yetzer: A Kabbalistic Psychology of Eroticism and Human SexualityHasidic Psychology: Making Space for OthersCreativity andSexuality: A Kabbalistic ExperienceBetween Rationality and Irrationality: The Jewish Psychotherapeutic SystemDialogue With DevianceThe Trance of Terror,Psycho-Religious FundaMentalism: Roots and RemediesDia-logo Therapy: Psychonarration and PaRDeSRe-Biographing and Deviance: PsychotherapeuticNarrativism and the MidrashSee alsoList of Israel Prize recipientsPassage 2:Dave Grossman (game developer)Dave Grossman is an American game programmerand game designer, most known for his work at Telltale Games and early work at LucasArts.

He is the recipient of numerous accolades, including an Academy Award, two British Academy Film Awards, nine César Awards, two Golden Globe Awards, as well as the Golden Bear and a Palme d'Or.His Polish Jewish parents moved the family from his birthplace in Paris back to Kraków in 1937. Two years later, the invasion of Poland by Nazi Germany started World War II, and the family found themselves trapped in the Kraków Ghetto. After his mother and father were taken in raids, Polanski spent his formative years in foster homes, surviving the Holocaust by adopting a false identity and concealing his Jewish heritage. Polanski's first feature-length film, Knife in the Water (1962), was made in Poland and was nominated for the United States Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. After living in France for a few years, he moved to the United Kingdom, where he directed his first three English-language feature-length films: Repulsion (1965), Cul-de-sac (1966), and The Fearless Vampire Killers (1967). In 1968, he moved to the United States and cemented his status in the film industry by directing the horror film Rosemary's Baby (1968).In 1969, Polanski's pregnant wife, actress Sharon Tate, was murdered with four friends by members of the Manson Family. He made Macbeth (1971) in England and Chinatown (1974) back in Hollywood. Polanski was arrested and charged in 1977 with drugging and raping a 13-year-old girl. As a result of a plea bargain, he pleaded guilty to the lesser offence of unlawful sex with a minor. In 1978, upon learning that the judge planned to reject his plea deal and impose a prison term instead of probation, Polanski fled to Paris and has since been a fugitive from the U.S. criminal justice system. After fleeing to Europe, Polanski continued directing. His other critically acclaimed films include Tess (1979), The Pianist (2002) which won him the Academy Award for Best Director, The Ghost Writer (2010), Venus in Fur (2013), and An Officer and a Spy (2019).Early lifePolanski was born in Paris. He was the son of Bula (aka \"Bella\") Katz-Przedborska and Mojżesz (or Maurycy) Liebling (later Polański), a painter and manufacturer of sculptures, who after World War II was known as Ryszard Polański. Polanski's father was Jewish and originally from Poland; Polanski's mother, born in Russia, had been raised Catholic but was half Jewish. His mother had a daughter, Annette, by her previous husband. Annette survived Auschwitz, where her mother was murdered, and left Poland forever for France. Polanski's parents were both agnostics. Polanski later stated that he was an atheist.World War II and the HolocaustThe Polański family moved back to Kraków, Poland, in early 1937, and were living there when World War II began with the invasion of Poland. Kraków was soon occupied by the German forces, and the racist and anti-Semitic Nuremberg Laws made the Polańskis targets of persecution, forcing them into the Kraków Ghetto, along with thousands of the city's Jews. Around the age of six, Polanski attended primary school for only a few weeks, until \"all the Jewish children were abruptly expelled\", writes biographer Christopher Sandford. That initiative was soon followed by the requirement that all Jewish children over the age of twelve wear white armbands with a blue Star of David imprinted for visual identification. After he was expelled, Polanksi would not be allowed to enter another classroom for six years.: 18 Polanski witnessed both the ghettoization of Kraków's Jews into a compact area of the city, and the subsequent deportation of all the ghetto's Jews to German death camps. He watched as his father was taken away. He remembers from age six, one of his first experiences of the terrors to follow:I had just been visiting my grandmother ... when I received a foretaste of things to come. At first, I didn't know what was happening. I simply saw people scattering in all directions. Then I realized why the street had emptied so quickly. Some women were being herded along it by German soldiers. Instead of running away like the rest, I felt compelled to watch.One older woman at the rear of the column couldn't keep up. A German officer kept prodding her back into line, but she fell down on all fours ... Suddenly a pistol appeared in the officer's hand. There was a loud bang, and blood came welling out of her back. I ran straight into the nearest building, squeezed into a smelly recess beneath some wooden stairs, and didn't come out for hours. I developed a strange habit: clenching my fists so hard that my palms became permanently calloused. I also woke up one morning to find that I had wet my bed.Polanski's father was transferred, along with thousands of other Jews, to Mauthausen, a group of 49 German concentration camps in Austria. His mother, who was four months pregnant at the time, was taken to Auschwitz and killed in the gas chamber soon after arriving. The forced exodus took place immediately after the German liquidation of the Warsaw Ghetto, a real-life backdrop to Polanski's film The Pianist (2002). Polanski, who was then hiding from the Germans, saw his father being marched off with a long line of people. Polanski tried getting closer to his father to ask him what was happening and got within a few yards. His father saw him, but afraid his son might be spotted by the German soldiers, whispered (in Polish), \"Get lost!\": 24 Polanski escaped the Kraków Ghetto in 1943 and survived with the help of some Polish Roman Catholics, including a woman who had promised Polanski's father that she would shelter the boy.: 21 Polanski attended church, learned to recite Catholic prayers by heart, and behaved outwardly as a Roman Catholic, although he was never baptized. His efforts to blend into a Catholic household failed miserably at least once, when the parish priest visiting the family posed questions to him one-on-one about the catechism, and ultimately said, \"You aren't one of us\". The punishment for helping a Jew in German-occupied Poland was death.As Polanski roamed the countryside trying to survive in a Poland now occupied by German troops, he witnessed many horrors, such as being \"forced to take part in a cruel and sadistic game in which German soldiers took shots at him for target practice\". The author Ian Freer concludes that Polanski's constant childhood fears and dread of violence have contributed to the \"tangible atmospheres he conjures up on film\". By the time the war ended in 1945, a fifth of the Polish population had been killed, the vast majority being civilians. Of those deaths, 3 million were Polish Jews, which accounted for 90% of the country's Jewish population. According to Sandford, Polanski would use the memory of his mother, her dress and makeup style, as a physical model for Faye Dunaway's character in his film Chinatown (1974).: 13After the warAfter the war, Polanksi was reunited with his father and moved back to Kraków. His father remarried on 21 December 1946 to Wanda Zajączkowska (whom Polanski had never liked) and died of cancer in 1984. Time repaired the family contacts; Polanski visited them in Kraków, and relatives visited him in Hollywood and Paris. Polanski recalls the villages and families he lived with as relatively primitive by European standards:They were really simple Catholic peasants. This Polish village was like the English village in Tess. Very primitive. No electricity. The kids with whom I lived didn't know about electricity ... they wouldn't believe me when I told them it was enough to turn on a switch!Polanski stated that \"you must live in a Communist country to really understand how bad it can be. Then you will appreciate capitalism.\" He also remembered events at the war's end and his reintroduction to mainstream society when he was 12, forming friendships with other children, such as Roma Ligocka, Ryszard Horowitz and his family.Introduction to moviesPolanski's fascination with cinema began very early when he was around age four or five. He recalls this period in an interview:Even as a child, I always loved cinema and was thrilled when my parents would take me before the war. Then we were put into the ghetto in Krakòw and there was no cinema, but the Germans often showed newsreels to the people outside the ghetto, on a screen in the market place. And there was one particular corner where you could see the screen through the barbed wire. I remember watching with fascination, although all they were showing was the German army and German tanks, with occasional anti-Jewish slogans inserted on cards.After the war, he watched films, either at school or at a local cinema, using whatever pocket money he had. Polanski writes, \"Most of this went on the movies, but movie seats were dirt cheap, so a little went a long way. I lapped up every kind of film.\" As time went on, movies became more than an escape into entertainment, as he explains:Movies were becoming an absolute obsession with me. I was enthralled by everything connected with the cinema—not just the movies themselves but the aura that surrounded them. I loved the luminous rectangle of the screen, the sight of the beam slicing through the darkness from the projection booth, the miraculous synchronization of sound and vision, even the dusty smell of the tip-up seats. More than anything else though, I was fascinated by the actual mechanics of the process. He was above all influenced by Sir Carol Reed's Odd Man Out (1947) – \"I still consider it as one of the best movies I've ever seen and a film which made me want to pursue this career more than anything else ... I always dreamt of doing things of this sort or that style. To a certain extent I must say that I somehow perpetuate the ideas of that movie in what I do.\"Early career in PolandPolanski attended the National Film School in Łódź, the third-largest city in "} +{"doc_id":"doc_168","qid":"","text":"Passage 1:Paul BrookePaul Brooke (born 22 November 1944) is a retired English actor of film, television and radio.

He was briefly adopted into the Nomura family and became known as Nomura Yakichi, though he was later restored to the Inoue family.Masaru Inoue was brought up as the son of a samurai belonging to the Chōshū fief. At 15, he entered the Nagasaki Naval Academy established by the Tokugawa shogunate under the direction of a Dutch naval officer. In 1863, Inoue and four friends from the Chōshū clan stowed away on a vessel to the United Kingdom. He studied civil engineering and mining at University College London and returned to Japan in 1868. After working for the government as a technical officer supervising the mining industry, he was appointed Director of the Railway Board in 1871. Inoue played a leading role in Japan's railway planning and construction, including the construction of the Nakasendo Railway, the selection of the alternative route (Tokaido), and the proposals for future mainline railway networks.In 1891 Masaru Inoue founded Koiwai Farm with Yanosuke Iwasaki and Shin Onogi.

He was the second son of Cleombrotus I, and grandfather of Areus I, who succeeded him. Although he reigned for more than 60 years, his life is completely unknown, apart from a victory at the Pythian Games in 336 BC. Several theories have been suggested by modern historians to explain such inactivity, but none has gained consensus.Life and reignCleomenes was the second son of king Cleombrotus I (r. 380–371), who belonged to the Agiad dynasty, one of the two royal families of Sparta (the other being the Eurypontids). Cleombrotus died fighting Thebes at the famous Battle of Leuctra in 371. His eldest son Agesipolis II succeeded him, but he died soon after in 370. Cleomenes' reign was instead exceptionally long, lasting 60 years and 10 months according to Diodorus of Sicily, a historian of the 1st century BC. In a second statement, Diodorus nevertheless tells that Cleomenes II reigned 34 years, but he confused him with his namesake Cleomenes I (r. 524–490).Despite the outstanding length of his reign, very little can be said about Cleomenes. He has been described by modern historians as a \"nonentity\". Perhaps that the apparent weakness of Cleomenes inspired the negative opinion of the hereditary kingship at Sparta expressed by Aristotle in his Politics (written between 336 and 322). However, Cleomenes may have focused on internal politics within Sparta, because military duties were apparently given to the Eurypontid Agesilaus II (r. 400–c.360), Archidamus III (r. 360–338), and Agis III (r. 338–331). As the Spartans notably kept their policies secret from foreign eyes, it would explain the silence of ancient sources on Cleomenes. Another explanation is that his duties were assumed by his elder son Acrotatus, described as a military leader by Diodorus, who mentions him in the aftermath of the Battle of Megalopolis in 331, and again in 315.Cleomenes' only known deed was his chariot race victory at the Pythian Games in Delphi in 336. In the following autumn, he gave the small sum of 510 drachmas for the reconstruction of the Temple of Apollo at Delphi, which had been destroyed by an earthquake in 373. Cleomenes might have made this gift as a pretext to go to Delphi and engage in informal diplomacy with other Greek states, possibly to discuss the consequences of the recent assassination of the Macedonian king Philip II.One short witticism of Cleomenes regarding cockfighting is preserved in the Moralia, written by the philosopher Plutarch in the early 2nd century AD:Somebody promised to give to Cleomenes cocks that would die fighting, but he retorted, \"No, don't, but give me those that kill fighting.\"As Acrotatus died before Cleomenes, the latter's grandson Areus I succeeded him while still very young, so Cleomenes' second son Cleonymus acted as regent until Areus' majority. Some modern scholars also give Cleomenes a daughter named Archidamia, who played an important role during Pyrrhus' invasion of the Peloponnese, but the age difference makes it unlikely.Passage 7:Yasuichi OshimaYasuichi Oshima (\u0000\u0000 \u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000, Ōshima Yasuichi, born 24 March 1954 in Kyoto) is a Japanese manga artist.

When her grandnephew Louis II, Prince of Monaco, ascended to theMonegasque throne, Florestine's son Wilhelm claimed his rights for his succession to the princely throne of Monaco and the Grimaldi noble titles. However, Francehad undergone two wars against Germany and did not wish to see German princes ruling the Principality of Monaco. Therefore, France reached an agreement withthe principality allowing the illegitimate daughter of Louis II, Charlotte, to be his heir presumptive to the princely throne and Grimaldi noble titles.

He was the founder of thefamous casino in Monte Carlo, as his title in Monegasque and Italian was Carlo III. He was born in Paris, the only son of Florestan, Prince of Monaco, and MariaCaroline Gibert de Lametz.Marriage and reignWhile he was Hereditary Prince, Charles was married on 28 September 1846 in Brussels to Countess Antoinette deMérode-Westerloo.He succeeded his father Prince Florestan in 1856.During his reign, the towns of Menton and Roquebrune, constituting some 80 percent ofMonegasque territory, were formally ceded to France, paving the way for formal French recognition of Monaco's independence. Rebellions in these towns, aidedby the Kingdom of Sardinia, had exhausted Monaco's military resources for decades.The Principality was in dire need of cash flow, so Prince Charles and hismother, Princess Caroline, had the idea of erecting a casino. The Monte Carlo Casino was designed, according to the Prince's liking, in the German style andplaced at the site of Les Spélugues. Monte Carlo (in English, Mount Charles) itself takes its name from Charles, after all its founder. Charles established a society(business) to run the Casino; this society is today the Société des bains de mer de Monaco.Under Charles III, the Principality of Monaco increased its diplomaticactivities; for example, in 1864, Charles III concluded a Treaty of Friendship with the Bey of Tunis, Muhammad III as-Sadiq, which also regulated trade andmaritime issues.HonoursMonte Carlo is named after Charles III. It stands for the \"Mount Charles\" in Italian.The Order of Saint-Charles was instituted on 15 March1858, during the reign of Prince Charles III.He received the following decorations and awards: Grand Cross of the Royal Norwegian Order of St. Olav, with Collar,27 March 1863 (Sweden-Norway) Grand Cross of the Order of the Dannebrog, in Brilliants, 16 February 1865 (Denmark) Grand Cross of the Grand Ducal HessianOrder of Ludwig, 17 April 1865 (Grand Duchy of Hesse) Grand Cross of the Royal and Distinguished Order of Charles III, 17 February 1867 (Spain) Grand Cross ofthe Order of the Red Eagle, 7 July 1869 (Kingdom of Prussia) Grand Cross of the Order of the Zähringer Lion, 1869 (Grand Duchy of Baden) Officer of the Legiond'Honneur, for his service in the French Navy in the Franco-Prussian War (French Empire) Grand Cordon of the Order of Leopold (civil division), 30 August 1874(Belgium) Grand Cross of the Royal Hungarian Order of St. Stephen, 1882 (Austria-Hungary) Grand Cross of the Royal Order of the White Eagle (civil division), 29May 1883 (Kingdom of Serbia) Knight of the Supreme Order of Christ (Holy See) Grand Cross of the Royal Military Order of the Tower and Sword (Kingdom ofPortugal)DeathIn his middle years his sight greatly weakened, and by the last decade of his life he had become almost totally blind.

It centered around aCambridge-educated, half-Württemberg nephew of Charles III who comes to the throne by way of Charles III and the next two heirs being wiped out of existence.The upstart \"Florestan II\", a radical republican, boldly attempts to democratize Monaco.

Both parents had multi-racial ancestry. Her mother's grandfather, Dolphus T. Shields (c. 1860–1950), was a direct descendantof slavery, with his mother a slave and his white father the heir of the slaveowner; he had moved from rural Georgia to Birmingham, Alabama, where heestablished his own carpentry and tool sharpening business. His descendants would eventually move to Chicago during the Great Migration.Personal lifeShieldsmarried Fraser Robinson III on October 27, 1960, in Chicago. They had two children together, Craig Malcolm and Michelle LaVaughn, named after Fraser'smother. She worked as a secretary for mail-order retailer Spiegel, the University of Chicago, and a bank. In the late 60's, Shields lived with her family in a rentedsecond floor apartment of a brick bungalow the South Side of Chicago that belonged to her aunt Robbie and her husband Terry. This is where she raised her twochildren, Michelle and Craig, and continued to live until she eventually moved to the White House with the Obamas. Michelle Obama, in her book Becoming,describes her mother's strong attachment to her Chicago home and her commitment to raising her children as a stay at home mother. Shields resumed work asan executive assistant at a bank when her daughter Michelle started high school.Relationship with Michelle ObamaMichelle describes her mother as forthright andhonest, and speaks of her implacability and her silent support as a child and beyond. Shields used to take her daughter Michelle to the library long before shestarted school and used to sit beside her as she learned to read and write. Usually the kind of mother who expected her children to settle their own disputes,Shields was quick to see real distress and stepped in to help when needed. For example, when Michelle was in second grade and was distressed because of beingdevalued by a teacher, Shields advocated for her and was instrumental in getting her daughter better learning opportunities at school. Shields encouraged herchildren to communicate with her about all subjects by being available when needed and giving practical advice. She entertained Michelle's school friends whenthey visited and enabled her to make her own choices in important matters.Obama campaign and life in the White HouseWhile Michelle and Barack Obamacampaigned for his candidacy as president in 2008, Robinson helped them by providing support to her granddaughters, Malia and Sasha Obama.

He was the secondson of Prince Honoré IV and Louise d'Aumont Mazarin and succeeded to the throne on the death of his brother, Honoré V.Early life, education, and militarycareerBrought up by his mother, he showed an early and strong aptitude for literature. At the age of eleven, he enrolled in the School of Fontainebleau, but didnot stay there long. He entered the military, where he had many struggles and barely achieved the rank of Corporal.

The real power during his reign lay in the hands of his wife,Princess Caroline, who possessed great intelligence and \"excelled at social skills.\" According to the historian Gustave Saige, Princess Caroline's intelligence wasrequired to figure out the affairs of state, which Honoré V had handled absolutely by himself, not trusting anyone to advise or assist him.

He was a member of the Staël von Holstein noble house which had then only recently joined the Swedish nobility.During his captivity in Russia he married the Countess Ingeborg Christina Horn af Rantzien in 1710, a daughter of the Field Marshal Henning Rudolf Horn von Rantzien, who had been taken captive with his daughters by the Russians during the Great Northern War.In 1722 Staël von Holstein planned a marriage with Sofia Elisabeth Ridderschantz. However, the marriage was broken off because his wife Ingeborg from Russia, where she had been held captive to that point, returned. In 1731 Staël von Holstein was raised to the rank of baron.In 1761 his first wife died, and Staël married Sofia Elisabeth Ridderschantz. Anna Helena Juliana, the daughter of George Bogislaus Staël von Holstein, died at the age of five. With her this branch of the Staël von Holstein noble family died out.Military careerStaël von Holstein began his military career on 20 February 1700 as a volunteer in the Swedish household guard. He was promoted to Unteroffizier (roughly equivalent to corporal) in the artillery. Staël von Holstein became a cornet in the Dragoon regiment of the province Ingria which was under the command of Otto Vellingk. He participated in the campaign in Livonia against the Russian and Saxon armies. He was promoted to Lieutenant in 1702 and a year later to Captain in the infantry regiment of Adam de la Gardie. This regiment was used in 1704 to free the besieged city of Narva from Russian troops. In April he was appointed commander of the grenadier company of this regiment.The Swedish attack failed and Staël von Holstein was captured. He was held captive in prison camps in Siberia and later in the region of Moscow. Staël von Holstein succeeded in being exchanged for a Russian officer in 1711. His wife, her sisters and his father-in-law were not allowed to leave Russia, however. After his return Staël von Holstein was under the direct command of the Swedish King Charles XII, who was in exile in Bender and was dispatched by him to the Skaraborg regiment.In 1713 Staël von Holstein was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel and in 1715 he invaded Schonen with the Skaraborg regiment. Two years later he was appointed colonel. In 1718 he participated with his regiment in the campaign against Norway and took part in the Siege of Frederiksten.In 1719 the Skaraborg regiment was garrisoned in Göteborg. The attack of the Danish captain Peter Wessel Tordenskiold on the fortress of Nya Elfsborg was repulsed by his commander Johan Abraham Lillie with all his forces. The artillery division of the Skaraborg regiment began a counter-attack on the Danish navy on 24 July. They were so taken by surprise by artillery fire from land that the fleet withdrew and repulsed the attack.In 1720 Staël parted from the Swedish army and served in the following years under Duke Karl Friedrich von Holstein. He was a major general and commander in his bodyguard.In 1733 Staël von Holstein was appointed colonel and commandant of Kalmar Castle. A year later he was governor of Kalmar.Staël was appointed major-general in 1734. In 1742 he was the leader of the political group the Caps.In 1743 Staël von Holstein was promoted to lieutenant general. He was also a Knight in the Royal Order of the Seraphim. In 1754 he was appointed governor of Malmöhus län and commandant of Malmö. He remained in this position until his death.Civilian lifeIn 1737 Staël built a textile factory in Kalmar. In 1742 he founded the glasswork company Kosta Glasbruk together with the governor of Kronobergs län, Anders Koskull Kosta. Later Staël bought in the province of Halland a large property as a family seat. This was situated in the neighborhood of Vapnö and is still in the property of his family.Passage 3:Mathilda Staël von HolsteinChristina Mathilda Staël von Holstein (1876–1953) was a Swedish lawyer. She was the second woman to become a lawyer in Sweden, the first being Eva Andén. She was known as a feminist throughout her lifetime.BiographyShe was born in Kristianstad as the daughter of the nobleman and Colonel Axel Staël von Holstein and Cecilia Nordenfeldt and grew up in Värmland. She was orphaned early and left with responsibility for her eleven siblings, and never married.She was a correspondent at a law firm, then an assistant and an accountant at the Stockholm City Health Board. She became a Candidate of Law in Stockholm in 1918. She was also a member of the Fredrika Bremer Association and chairman of the Stockholm Women's Association. From 1919 to 1923 she was a partner in Eva Andén's law firm. As a lawyer, she primarily worked on family law and property issues.One of the biggest problems for women to obtain government office during this time was that the law defined the applicant for such jobs as a \"Swedish man\". The Ministry of Justice formed a committee in 1919 to investigate and remove this barrier from the law through a change of constitution. The chairman of the committee was Emilia Broomé, the first woman to chair a government committee. Staël von Holstein was a committee member. The committee's work resulted in the Competence Law of 1923.Staël von Holstein was awarded the Illis quorum by the King of Sweden in 1946.She died in Stockholm.See alsoAnna Pettersson, Swedish lawyerSourcesFurther readingMathilda Staël von Holstein at Svenskt kvinnobiografiskt lexikonPassage 4:Boris BogoslovskyBoris Basil Bogoslovsky (29 April 1890, in Ryazan – 2 December 1966, in Charleston, Illinois) was a Russian-American teacher and United Nations official.Bogoslovosky emigrated to the United States, where he became a naturalized citizen.

After the death of his mother, who died young, he was brought up by the Baroness Auguste de Staël, née Vernet. This aunt, although also a Protestant, exerted herself \"to make a large-minded Christian of him in the Church to which she did not belong\" (Monseigneur d'Hulst in Le Correspondant, 25 May 1895).Broglie studied at the École Polytechnique, leaving in 1855. Still young, he entered the navy; he was appointed ensign in 1857 and soon after lieutenant. After a voyage to New Caledonia in which he came in contact with active missions, he felt himself called to the religious life. He entered the Seminary of Saint Sulpice in Paris in 1867. After completing his studies there he was ordained priest on 18 October 1870. He was named professor of apologetics at the Institut Catholique in 1879. His teaching, which included philosophical, theological, biblical and historical themes, were intended to defend the Catholic faith from perceived attacks from Positivism and Rationalism. He maintained the harmony and autonomy of the two spheres of knowledge, religion and reason.In his numerous publications the Abbé de Broglie was always a faithful defender of Catholic dogma.

Winners of these satellites usually win thebuy-in fee to a larger, more prestigious tournament like the World Series of Poker Main Event. Although there are some land-based satellite tournaments (usuallyfor very high-stakes tournaments), most of them are online-based. Some sites, like PokerStars, maintain several tiers of satellites. A player can thus start out atone tier (not necessarily the lowest one) and play his way to a higher tier. The entry fee for each tier is always higher than the fee for the tier below it, with thefirst tier being the cheapest.TennisIn professional tennis, satellite circuits were four-week tournaments (five before 1987), typically organised by a country'snational tennis association and overseen by the International Tennis Federation. They were played by players who were ranked outside the top few hundred bythe Association of Tennis Professionals, with openings for unranked players in the qualifying draw. Total prize money ranged from $25,000 to $75,000 percircuit. ATP points were awarded on the basis of a player's ranking within the circuit and from 1987 onwards on the basis of the conversion of a player's circuitpoints into ATP points. Players successful at this level of pro tennis would move on to play ATP Challenger Series or even top-flight ATP Tour events. The men'ssatellite tournaments were discontinued following the 2006 season as the circuit moved exclusively to one-week Futures tournaments.PinballA satellitetournament in pinball is modeled after those in poker. It is a smaller tournament that leads up to a major pinball championship, where participants have theopportunity to win their entry into the larger tournament. Applying the satellite tournament concept to pinball was first done by Northwest Pinball and ArcadeShow in 2013 to promote both the show and the tournaments at the show. Since then, some other major tournaments have begun using the concept.Passage2:Tunstall, VirginiaTunstall is an unincorporated community in New Kent County, Virginia, United States.Foster's Castle and Hampstead, both located in Tunstall,are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.Passage 3:Telephone numbers in Ascension IslandCountry Code: +247International Call Prefix: 00AscensionIsland does not share the same country code (+290) with the rest of St Helena.Calling formatsTo call in Ascension Island, the following format isused:yxxxx Calls inside Ascension Island+247 yxxxx Calls from outside Ascension IslandAscension Island numbering planAccording to ITU Communication of08.V.2015, Sure South Atlantic Limited, Jamestown, announced the following update to the numbering plan for Ascension.The length of geographical numbersincreased from four (4) to five (5) digits and prefixed with the number \"6\".The 4XXXX range reserved for mobile services.The change to five-digit numbering tobe implemented on 1 June 2015. 1: New 5-digit numbering2: 6-digit numberingSee alsoTelephone numbers in the United KingdomTelephone numbers in SaintHelena and Tristan da CunhaPassage 4:LubnowyLubnowy is part of the name of two villages, both located in Gmina Susz, within Iława County, Warmian-MasurianVoivodeship, Poland:Lubnowy MałeLubnowy WielkieSee alsoLiebenauPassage 5:BrevilleBreville is an Australian brand of small home appliances, founded inSydney in 1932. It is best known for its home appliances, specifically blenders, coffee machines, toasters, kettles, microwaves and toaster ovens. As of 2016, thebrand also manufactured \"Creatista\" coffee machines for Nespresso, and distributed other Nespresso products in Australia, New Zealand and the USA andCanada, including the \"Inissia\", \"Vertuo\" and \"Citiz\" series of machines.HistoryIn 1932, Bill O'Brien and Harry Norville (born Charles Henry Norville) mixed theirlast names together and the Breville brand was created. The company started by making radios. During World War II, it made mine detectors. By 1953, the radiobusiness had been taken over by A.W. Jackson Industries Pty. Ltd., which manufactured radiograms and, later, television sets under the Breville brand. After that,Breville turned its attention to manufacturing household appliances.The O'Brien family continued developing the Breville business for three generations, with Bill'sson, John, setting up the Breville Research and Development centre in the late 1960s, and his daughter, Barbara, running the marketing department throughoutthe 1990s. John O'Brien continued to lead many product development initiatives for the Breville brand until his death in December 2003. Breville's R&D team hastaken out over 100 active patents and has been awarded more than 40 international design awards. In 1974, Breville released the toasted sandwich maker, whichwas a huge success, selling 400,000 units in its first year, and making the Breville brand a household name in Australia. Soon after this, the Breville toastedsandwich maker was launched in New Zealand and the United Kingdom, where it was met with similar success.OwnershipIn 2001, the Breville companies ofAustralia, New Zealand, and Hong Kong transferred ownership of the brand to Housewares International Limited. The acquisition of the Breville companies causedthe group to shift its focus to the electrical business and cease its Australian homewares and cleaning businesses in March 2007. In 2008, HousewaresInternational Limited officially changed its name to the Breville Group Limited. The Breville Group Limited also owns the Kambrook and Sage brands. It marketsmost of its product under the Sage brand in the UK and Europe, since the Breville brand is owned by the unrelated Jarden company in the UK.GlobalpresenceBreville trades in over 70 countries including China, Brazil, South Africa, Mexico, and Israel.

It also built bodies for ambulances and postal vans. In the 1990s it also overhauledMercedes-Benz and Scania buses for the State Transit Authority.Following the collapse of Clifford Corporation in 1998, Volvo arranged for Jakab to take over theAnsair plant in Tamworth and complete the work of providing Orana-style bodies for 60 State Transit Authority Volvo B10BLE buses.

The name is also used for a tourist region and a wine zone both located in the same part of SouthAustralia.ExtentThe Limestone Coast is a South Australian Government Region which consists of land within the following local government areas located in thesouth east of the state: the City of Mount Gambier and the District Councils of Grant, Kingston, Robe, Tatiara and Naracoorte Lucindale and the Wattle RangeCouncil, and the extent of \"coastal waters\" up to three nautical miles seaward of the low water mark between the border with Victoria in the east and thenorthern boundary of the Kingston District Council in the north-west.Industry regions with the same nameLimestone Coast Tourism RegionThe words 'LimestoneCoast' also used in the name of a tourism region which occupies a similar part of South Australia. The tourism region consists of the following local governmentareas: the City of Mount Gambier, The Coorong District Council, the District Councils of Grant, Kingston, Robe, Tatiara and Naracoorte Lucindale, and the WattleRange Council.Limestone Coast Wine ZoneThe words 'Limestone Coast' also used in the name of a wine zone which occupies a similar part of SouthAustralia. The wine zone is the land south of a line located at appropriately 36 degrees 50 minutes south, i.e. in line with Cape Willoughby at the east end ofKangaroo Island. The zone includes the following wine-growing regions: Coonawarra, Mount Benson, Mount Gambier, Padthaway, Robe andWrattonbully.Location and descriptionFrom the Victoria border to the Younghusband Peninsula this area has been settled since colonisation by mainly Europeansettlers in the 1840s, displacing an indigenous population that had resided in the region for thousands of years. The region currently supports farming, viticulture,forestry and tourism. Towns include Bordertown, Keith, Millicent, Mount Gambier, Penola, and Naracoorte and the coastal resorts of Beachport, Kingston SE andRobe.Much of the Limestone Coast is low-lying, and was inundated by sea as recently as 2 million years ago. It had previously also been flooded 15–20 millionyears ago. The plains are lined by rows of low sandhills parallel to the coast, created at times when the coastline was at that level. Prior to European settlement,much of the land between the sandhills was swamp fed by streams and subject to inundation. A network of drains totalling 1450 km has been constructed tochannel the water away through the sandhills to the ocean. Important areas of wetland remain including the lakes and lagoons such as the southern end of theCoorong and Bool Lagoon. Meanwhile, areas of upland in the Limestone Coast include the volcanic craters of Mount Gambier.The Mediterranean climate of thiscoast is cool and moist with wet winters.HistoryThere are deep limestone deposits created from the coral and other sealife. The limestone in Victoria Fossil Caveand the other Naracoorte Caves contains are Australia's biggest source of fossils and a World Heritage Site.EcologyFloraThe natural vegetation was woodland ofRiver Red gum and other eucalyptus trees.FaunaAlthough there are few purely endemic species the coast is rich in wildlife including possums, Cercartetus pygmypossums, Petaurus Gliding possums, and other marsupials many of which do not spread further west than here. Endemic species include reptiles such as thestriped legless lizard (Delma impar) and invertebrates like an endemic cave cricket. The Naracoorte caves are occupied by the common bent-wing bat.The lakesand lagoons are particularly important habitats for waterbirds such as black swan, grey teal, Pacific black duck, and especially the critically endangeredorange-bellied parrot (Neophema chrysogaster) which winters here along with many other birds including the red-necked stint (Calidris ruficollis), sharp-tailed"} +{"doc_id":"doc_173","qid":"","text":"Passage 1:David A.

He is known as one of the \"Twenty-Four Generals of Takeda Shingen\" He also recorded as having been wounded 41 times in 36 encounters. He was the father of Obata Masamori.See alsoIsao ObataPassage 3:John Templeton (botanist)John Templeton (1766–1825) was a pioneering Irish naturalist, sometimes referred to as the \"Father of Irish Botany\". He was a leading figure in Belfast's late eighteenth century enlightenment, initially supported the United Irishmen, and figured prominently in the town's scientific and literary societies.FamilyTempleton was born in Belfast in 1766, the son of James Templeton, a prosperous wholesale merchant, and his wife Mary Eleanor, daughter of Benjamin Legg, a sugar refiner. The family resided in a 17th century country house to the south of the town, which been named Orange Grove in honour of William of Orange who had stopped at the house en route to his victory over James II at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690.Until the age of 16 Templeton attended a progressive, co-educational, school favoured by the town's liberal, largely Presbyterian, merchant class. Schoolmaster David Manson sought to exclude \"drudgery and fear\" by combining classroom instruction with play and experiential learning. Templeton counted among his schoolfellows brother and sister Henry Joy and Mary Ann McCracken, and maintained a warm friendship with them throughout his life.In 1799, Templeton married Katherine Johnson of Seymour Hill. Her family had been touched by the United Irish rebellion the previous year: her brother-in-law, Henry Munro, commander of the United army at the Battle of Ballynahinch, had been hanged. The couple had five children: Ellen, born on 30 September 1800, Robert, born on 12 December 1802, Catherine, born on 19 July 1806, Mary, born on 9 December 1809 and Matilda on 2 November 1813.The union between the two already prosperous merchant families provided more than ample means enabling Templeton to devote himself passionately to the study of natural history.United IrishmanLike many of his liberal Presbyterian peers in Belfast, Templeton was sympathetic to the programme and aims of the Society United Irishmen: Catholic Emancipation and democratic reform of the Irish Parliament. But it was several years before he was persuaded to take the United Irish \"test\" or pledge. In March 1797 his friend, Mary Ann McCracken, wrote to her brother: [A] certain Botanical friend of ours whose steady and inflexible mind is invulnerable to any other weapon but reason, and only to be moved by conviction has at last turned his attention from the vegetable kingdom to the human species and after pondering the matter for some months, is at last determined to become what he ought to have been months ago.She hoped his sisters would \"soon follow him.\" Having committed himself to the patriotic union of Catholic, Protestant and Dissenter, Templeton changed the name of the family home from loyalist Orange Grove to Irish \"Cranmore\" (crann mór, 'big tree').Templeton was disenchanted by the Rebellion of 1798, and mindful of events in France , repelled by the violence. He nonetheless withdrew from the Belfast Literary Society, of which he had been a founding member in 1801, rather than accept the continued presence of Dr. James MacDonnell. MacDonnell's offence had been to subscribe forty guineas in 1803 for the capture (leading to execution) of the unreformed rebel Thomas Russell who had been their mutual friend. (While unable to \"forget the amiable Russell\", time, he conceded, \"softened a little my feelings\": in 1825, Templeton and MacDonnell met and shook hands).GardenThe garden at Cranmore spread over 13-acre garden was planted with exotic and native species acquired on botanical excursions, from fellow botanists, nurseries, botanical gardens and abroad: \"Received yesterday a large chest of East Indian plants which I examined today.\" \"Box from Mr. Taylor\".Other plants arrived, often as seeds from North America, Australia, India, China and other parts of the British Empire Cranmore also served as a small animal farm.for experimental animal husbandry and a kitchen garden.BotanistJohn Templeton's interest in botany began with this experimental garden laid out according to a suggestion in Rousseau's 'Nouvelle Heloise' and following Rousseau's 'Letters on the Elements of Botany Here he cultivated many tender exotics out of doors (a list provided by Nelson and began botanical studies which lasted throughout his life and corresponded with the most eminent botanists in England Sir William Hooker, William Turner, James Sowerby and, especially Sir Joseph Banks, who had travelled on Captain James Cook's voyages, and in charge of Kew Gardens. Banks tried (unsuccessfully) to tempt him to New Holland (Australia) as a botanist on the Flinders's Expedition with the offer of a large tract of land and a substantial salary. An associate of the Linnean Society, Templeton visited London and saw the botanical work being achieved there. This led to his promotion of the Belfast Botanic Gardens as early as 1809, and to work on a Catalogue of Native Irish Plants, in manuscript form and now in the Royal Irish Academy, which was used as an accurate foundation for later work by succeeding Irish botanists. He also assembled text and executed many beautiful watercolour drawings for a Flora Hibernica, sadly never finished, and kept a detailed journal during the years 1806–1825 (both now in the Ulster Museum, Belfast).[1] Of the 12000 algal specimens in the Ulster Museum Herbarium about 148 are in the Templeton collection and were mostly collected by him, some were collected by others and passed to Templeton. The specimens in the Templeton collection in the Ulster Museum (BEL) have been catalogued. Those noted in 1967 were numbered: F1 – F48. Others were in The Queen's University Belfast. All of Templeton's specimens have now been numbered in the Ulster Museum as follows: F190 – F264; F290 – F314 and F333 – F334.Templeton was the first finder of Rosa hibernicaThis rose, although collected by Templeton in 1795, remained undescribed until 1803 when he published a short diagnosis in the Transactions of the Dublin Society.Early additions to the flora of Ireland include Sisymbrium Ligusticum seoticum (1793), Adoxa moschatellina (1820), Orobanche rubra and many other plants. His work on lichens was the basis of this secton of Flora Hiberica by James Townsend Mackay who wrote of him The foregoing account of the Lichens of Ireland would have been still more incomplete, but for the extensive collection of my lamented friend, the late Mr. John Templeton, of Cranmore, near Belfast, which his relict, Mrs. Templeton, most liberally placed at my disposal. I believe that thirty years ago his acquirements in the Natural History of organised beings rivalled that of any individual in Europe : these were by no means limited to diagnostic marks, but extended to all the laws and modifications of the living force. The frequent quotation of his authority in every preceding department of this Flora, is but a brief testimony of his diversified knowledgeBotanical ManuscriptsThe MSS. left by Templeton consist of seven volumes. One of these is a small 8vo. half bound ; it is in the Library of the Royal Irish Academy, and contains 280 pp. of lists of Cryptogams, chiefly mosses, with their localities. In this book is inserted a letter from Miss F. M. More, sister of Alexander Goodman More, to Dr. Edward Perceval Wright, Secretary, Royal Irish Academy, dated March, 1897, in which she says—‘*‘ The Manuscript which accompanies this letter was drawn up between 1794 and 1810, by the eminent naturalist, John Templeton, in Belfast. It was lent by his son, Dr. R. Templeton, to my brother, Alex. G. More, when he was preparing the second edition of the ‘ Cybele Hibernica,’ on condition that it should be placed in the Library of the Royal Irish Academy afterwards.\" The other six volumes are quarto size, and contain 1,090 folios, with descriptions of many of the plants, and careful drawings in pen and pencil and colours of many species.

He also founded the Simcoe Steam Brewery, and the 21st-century Robert Simpson Brewing Company (now The Flying Monkeys CraftBrewery) was named in his honour.Prior to becoming mayor, the head of the governing body for Barrie was known as the reeve of Barrie.

He gives an account of the Second Barons' War from a royalist standpoint, and is a severe critic of Montfort's policy. His workregarding the reign of Edward I is especially useful.

He afterwards visited several famous schools in France, having first laid the foundation of his subsequent learning by the study in his own monasteryof grammar, theology and music. For some time he filled the office of prior, and in 1095 was chosen abbot at once by the monks of St-Bertin and by the canons ofSt-Omer. He was thus drawn into closer relations with Cluny, and instituted through the Cluniac monks many reforms in his somewhat deteriorated monastery.Needless to say, he encountered no little opposition to his efforts, but, thanks to his extraordinary energy, he finally secured acceptance for his views, andrehabilitated the financial position of the monastery. He was a friend of St. Anselm and exchanged verses, still extant, with the poet Reginald of Canterbury (ed.Libermann in \"Neues Archiv der Gesellschaft fur altere Geschichte\", XIII, 1888, pp. 528; 531-34). He died on 22 June 1125, at St-Bertin.WorksEven during hislifetime, Lambert was lauded in glowing terms for his great learning by an admirer —not a monk of St-Bertin— in the \"Tractatus de moribus Lamberti Abbatis S.Beretini\" (ed. Holder-Egger in \"Monumenta German. Histor. SS.\", XV, 2, 946-53). This work mentions several otherwise unknown writings of Lambert, e.g.\"Sermones de Vetere Testamento\", also studies on free will, the Divine prescience, original sin, origin of the soul and questions of physical science.Although thetwo are often confused, he is not identical with Lambert, the Canon of St. Omer who wrote the famous \"Liber Floridus\", a kind of encyclopedia of Biblical,chronological, astronomical, geographical, theological, philosophical and natural history subjects, which was completed in 1120.Sources and referencesHerbermann, Charles, ed.

He was heir to his relative William Ernest, Grand Duke of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach until 1909, when he was disinherited of hisroyal status. From that point onwards, Hermann was commonly referred to with the lesser style, Graf von Ostheim (Count of Ostheim).Early lifePrince Hermann ofSaxe-Weimar-Eisenach was born on 14 February 1886 in Düsseldorf. He was educated by a tutor until deemed old enough to enter the Imperial German Army.He joined the Cuirassiers of the Guard in Berlin, where he was separated from the guidance of his family and tutor, and began to build up a reputation as aspendthrift like his father. He was given $10,000 a year to spend, and he and those he bought items from realized that any debts contracted would eventually bepaid by his family, thus increasing the amount Hermann could spend. By the end of the year, Hermann was a quarter of a million dollars in debt, which his familyduly paid; he was sent to a small town as a disciplinary measure. He persuaded his family that he was ill, and was able to travel to Paris, racking up more debtsalong the way; one rumor said he sold his mother's jewels en route to France.Heir to Saxe-Weimar-EisenachWilliam Ernest, Grand Duke ofSaxe-Weimar-Eisenach remained childless for much of his early life, fueling speculation of the succession to his duchy. As a descendant of Charles Augustus,Grand Duke of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach through a younger son, firstly Hermann and secondly his brother were heir presumptives until the birth of CharlesAugustus, Hereditary Grand Duke of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach in 1912.Loss of inheritanceA lifelong spendthrift, Prince Hermann was heir presumptive to the duchyof Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach until his disinheritance on 2 August 1909. The ducal family forced him to renounce his rights of succession to theSaxe-Weimar-Eisenach throne, as well as his royal status, title and prerogatives, granting him a lesser, noble title, Count Ostheim, along with a small allowanceon the grounds that he stay out of the duchy. Herman was not the only member of his family to have a bad reputation; his father Prince William as well as theircousin Prince Bernhard were all viewed with displeasure, so much so, that the still-living Prince William had been overlooked concerning the duchy's succession.Hermann had a younger brother, Prince Albert, who took up his position as next-in-line to the duchy. Hermann was also driven out of the German army \"for allsorts of unsavory scrapes\", as he was wanted in both England and Austria for debts, and for being a \"common swindler\". His Austrian arrest warrant was issuedsoon after his younger sister Princess Sophie of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach was denied permission to enter into a morganatic marriage; she committed suicide soonafter, on 18 September 1913.In 1921 Count Hermann claimed in a lawsuit with Grand Duke William Ernest that he and his mother were induced by a ruse andtold that he would be forcibly expelled from Paris unless he agreed to travel from there to Germany; instead Hermann was confined in an insane asylum. He wasonly freed after signing documents renouncing all claims to Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach and assuming the style Count Ostheim. Hermann went on to claim that theGrand Duke was guilty of usury, as he was lent certain sums of money to pay off his debts in exchange for renouncing 48,000 marks appanage in favor of WilliamErnest. During that time, the German government had been completing negotiations for a settlement on the former royal family (their titles had been abolished in1918); thus had Hermann not been disinherited, he would have stood to inherit quite a large bit of money.MarriageBefore he became disinherited, PrinceHermann desired to marry Princess Marie Bonaparte, a great heiress; he might have succeeded but for his unsavory reputation. Though there was a chance hewould succeed to the Grand Ducal throne, Marie's father disliked Hermann for possessing an \"evil\" reputation, and consequently allowed her instead to marryPrince George of Greece and Denmark. Before her refusal, however, Hermann was able to obtain a great deal of money, as it was assumed he would soon have agreat deal of wealth to spend; when it became clear there was to be no marriage, a \"crash\" came. It was these money troubles, along with other problems, thatled to his disinheritance.Despite being disinherited, Hermann openly boasted he would travel to the United States in search of a wealthy wife, and then return toGermany and pay off his debts within a year; all this was said while staying in Zurich awaiting funds from his family. Instead, Hermann, now Count Ostheim,morganatically married Wanda Paola Lottero, an Italian stage actress, on 5 September 1909 in London. They visited the United States on several occasions. Theywere divorced two years later, on 22 June 1911 after Wanda grew tired of supporting him with her earnings and divorced him on the grounds of financial\"non-support\", \"cruelty\", and \"infidelity\". Wanda later gained notoriety for having a short-lived affair with King Konstantínos I of the Hellenes in 1912.On 4 August1918, Hermann married secondly to Suzanne Aagot Midling at Heidelberg. They had one surviving child before her death on 16 October 1931:Alexander KyrillGraf von Ostheim (born 7 August 1922); he died unmarried in Stockholm on 28 March 1943On 16 November 1932, Hermann's engagement with Isabel Neilson,daughter of former British MP and prominent actor and author Francis Neilson, was announced. Hermann and Isabel were married civilly and religiously in Parison 28 November 1932. A small family luncheon accompanied the wedding; afterwards, the couple honeymooned to Spain and North Africa. They had nochildren.Hermann died in London on 6 June 1964 at the age of 78.AncestryPassage 2:Prince Wilhelm of Saxe-Weimar-EisenachPrince Wilhelm Karl BernhardHermann of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach (21 December 1853 – 15 December 1924) was a member of the House of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach.LifePrince Wilhelm ofSaxe-Weimar-Eisenach was born on 21 December 1853 in Stuttgart. He was the eldest son of the Prince Hermann of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach and Princess Augustaof Württemberg (1826-1898). Prince Wilhelm also has had his own financial problems, and has been forced by the Grand Duke to live outside Weimar. Wilhelm isheir presumptive to the throne as the young Grand Duke Wilhelm Ernst is a widower. His wife, Karoline of Reuss died in January 1905.Prince William had aproblem with his eldest son. Prince Hermann morganatically married Wanda Paola Lottero on 5 September 1909 in London. Lottero was an Italian stage actress,and due to Hermann's rollicking lifestyle, the ducal family forced him to renounce his rights of succession to the Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach throne, as well as hisroyal status, title and prerogatives, granting him a lesser, noble title, Count Ostheim, along with a small allowance on the grounds that he stay out of the duchy.Prince Wilhelm also had a bad reputation. His behavior aroused the dissatisfaction of the head of the family. Prince Wilhelm fled to the United States in his youth,served as a riding master, clerk, book agent and even as a restaurant waiter in New York City, but was finally persuaded to return to Germany, marry his secondcousin, and live on a small pension from the head of the house.Marriage and familyPrince Wilhelm married Gerta Princess of Ysenburg and Büdingen (1863-1945),daughter of Ferdinand Maximilian I, Prince of Ysenburg and Büdingen (1824-1903) and Auguste Marie Gertrude Princess of Hanau and Horowitz (1829-1887), on11 April 1885 at Wächtersbach, Germany.

Among his godparents were Queen Juliana of theNetherlands and the Grand Duchess Anastasia of Russia imposter, Anna Anderson, who was living with his aunt Princess Luise of Saxe-Meiningen.When his fatherdied on 14 October 1988, Prince Michael succeeded him as Head of the House of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach. On 13 February 1991, he inherited the leadership in theHouse of Saxe-Altenburg, as that line became extinct, and since 23 July 2012 he regards the Albertine royal Saxon line to be extinct. However, Prince Michael hasalso stated that he \"[does not] believe in historical carnival\" and that \"Germany should have done it like Austria long ago and abolished all titles.\"In 2004, hewithdrew his claim for restitution of numerous properties, archives (partly including those of Schiller and Goethe) as well as priceless artwork in a settlement withthe Free State of Thuringia and acquired some forest estates in exchange.Since Prince Michael has no sons, the current heir to the headship of the grand ducalhouse is his elder (by age) first cousin, Prince Wilhelm Ernst (b. 10 August 1946), whose only son Prince Georg-Constantin (13 April 1977 – 9 June 2018), abanker who was married but without issue, was killed in a horse riding accident on 9 June 2018 while riding with Jean Christophe Iseux von Pfetten. Therefore,the Grand Ducal House of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach will most likely become extinct in the male line.MarriagesPrince Michael married Renate Henkel (b.

In October 2010 he becamethe ninth Director of the Toledo Museum of Art. On 1 July 2019, he succeeded Dan Monroe as the executive director and CEO of the Peabody Essex Museum.Earlylife and career in IrelandKennedy was born in Dublin and attended Clonkeen College. He received B.A. (1982), M.A. (1985) and PhD (1989) degrees fromUniversity College-Dublin, where he studied both art history and history.He worked in the Irish Department of Education (1982), the European Commission,Brussels (1983), and in Ireland at the Chester Beatty Library (1983–85), Government Publications Office (1985–86), and Department of Finance (1986–89). Hemarried Mary Fiona Carlin in 1988.He was Assistant Director at the National Gallery of Ireland in Dublin from 1989 to 1997. He was Chair of the Irish Associationof Art Historians from 1996 to 1997, and of the Council of Australian Art Museum Directors from 2001 to 2003. In September 1997 he became Director of theNational Gallery of Australia.National Gallery of Australia (NGA)Kennedy expanded the traveling exhibitions and loans program throughout Australia, arranged forseveral major shows of Australian art abroad, increased the number of exhibitions at the museum itself and oversaw the development of an extensivemulti-media site. Although he oversaw several years of the museum's highest ever annual visitation, he discontinued the emphasis of his predecessor, BettyChurcher, on showing \"blockbuster\" exhibitions.During his directorship, the NGA gained government support for improving the building and significant privatedonations and corporate sponsorship. However, the initial design for the building proved controversial generating a public dispute with the original architect onmoral rights grounds. As a result, the project was not delivered during Dr Kennedy's tenure, with a significantly altered design completed some yearslater. Private funding supported two acquisitions of British art, including David Hockney's A Bigger Grand Canyon in 1999, and Lucian Freud's After Cézanne in2001. Kennedy built on the established collections at the museum by acquiring the Holmgren-Spertus collection of Indonesian textiles; the Kenneth Tylercollection of editioned prints, screens, multiples and unique proofs; and the Australian Print Workshop Archive. He was also notable for campaigning for theconstruction of a new \"front\" entrance to the Gallery, facing King Edward Terrace, which was completed in 2010 (see reference to the building projectabove).Kennedy's cancellation of the \"Sensation exhibition\" (scheduled at the NGA from 2 June 2000 to 13 August 2000) was controversial, and seen by some ascensorship. He claimed that the decision was due to the exhibition being \"too close to the market\" implying that a national cultural institution cannot exhibit theprivate collection of a speculative art investor. However, there were other exhibitions at the NGA during his tenure, which could have raised similar concerns. Theexhibition featured the privately owned Young British Artists works belonging to Charles Saatchi and attracted large attendances in London and Brooklyn. Its mostcontroversial work was Chris Ofili's The Holy Virgin Mary, a painting which used elephant dung and was accused of being blasphemous.

The widely acclaimed film, written and directed by Zana Briski and Ross Kauffman, won a string of accolades including theAcademy Award for Best Documentary Feature in 2005.PlotBriski, a documentary photographer, went to Kolkata to photograph prostitutes. While there, shebefriended their children and offered to teach the children photography to reciprocate being allowed to photograph their mothers. The children were givencameras so they could learn photography and possibly improve their lives. Their photographs depicted a life in the red light district through the eyes of childrentypically overlooked and sworn off to do chores around the house until they were able to contribute more substantially to the family welfare. Much of their workwas used in the film, and the filmmakers recorded the classes as well as daily life in the red light district. The children's work was exhibited, and one boy waseven sent to a photography conference in Amsterdam. Briski also recorded her efforts to place the children in boarding schools although many of the children didnot end up staying very long in the schools they were placed in. Others, such as Avijit and Kochi, not only went on to continue their education but were gradedwell.AftermathThere is debate about the extent to which the documentary has improved the lives of the children featured in it.The filmmakers claim that the livesof children appearing in Born into Brothels have been transformed by money earned through the sale of photos and a book on them. Ross Kauffman, co-directorof the documentary, says that the amount earned is $100,000 (about Rs.4.5 million), which will pay for their tuition and for a school in India for children ofprostitutes. Briski has started a non-profit organization to continue this kind of work in other countries, named Kids with Cameras. A film is being made on the lifestory of a high-profile trio of call girl sisters, Shaveta, Khushboo and Himani, born in one of the brothels of Haryana.In November 2006, Kids with Camerasprovided an update on many of the children's conditions, asserting that they had entered high schools or universities in India and the United States or foundemployment outside of prostitution. Kids with Cameras continues to work toward improving the lives of children from the Calcutta red light district with the planto build a Hope House. Updates for 2010 and 2009 were also published.In 2004, REACT to FILM organized a screening for Born into Brothels at the SoHo Housein Manhattan, NY. In 2010, the film's director, Zana Briski, joined the advisory board of REACT to FILM.CriticismsThe Durbar Mahila Samanwaya Committee, aprostitutes' organization active in Sonagachi, has criticized the film for presenting the children's parents as abusive and for ignoring the prostitutes' efforts toprovide education programs and career building activities for their children. In addition, the film has been criticized in India for perceived racist stereotyping, andhas also been viewed as exploiting the children for the purposes of Indophobic propaganda in the West. A review in Frontline, India's national magazine,summarized this criticism, remarking:IF Born Into Brothels were remade as an adventure-thriller in the tradition of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, itsposters might read: \"New York film-maker Zana Briski sallies forth among the natives to save souls.Some critics joined the Sonagachi prostitute-advocacy groupsin condemning the film for exploitation of the plight of the prostitutes for profit. Other criticisms were raised about \"ethical and stylistic\" problems, by ParthaBanerjee, interpreter between the filmmakers and the children.ReceptionCritical responseBorn into Brothels has an approval rating of 95% on review aggregatorwebsite Rotten Tomatoes, based on 108 reviews, and an average rating of 7.83/10.

Starring Vincent Price, Frankie Avalon, Dwayne Hickman, Susan Hart and Jack Mullaney, and featuring Fred Clark,the film is a parody of the then-popular spy trend (the title is a spoof of two James Bond films: the 1962 film Dr. No and the 1964 hit Goldfinger), made usingactors from AIP's beach party and Edgar Allan Poe films. The film was retitled Dr G. and the Bikini Machine in England due to a threatened lawsuit from Eon,holder of the rights to the James Bond series.Despite its low production values, the film has achieved a certain cult status for the appearance of horror legendPrice and AIP's beach party film alumni, its in-jokes and over-the-top sexuality, the claymation title sequence designed by Art Clokey, and a title song performedby The Supremes. Its success led to a sequel, produced in 1966, entitled Dr. Goldfoot and the Girl Bombs.PlotPrice plays the titular mad scientist who, with thequestionable assistance of his resurrected flunky Igor, builds a gang of female robots who are then dispatched to seduce and rob wealthy men.

The film attempts to show the unjust outcomes that are possible when moneyed interestspartner up with government entities to outweigh the rights of citizens.Film contentSet in the years between 2003 and 2011, the story follows graphic designerDaniel Goldstein, the last defiantly remaining homeowner in his building, as he battles Bruce Ratner's Forest City real estate company and their plans to completethe Atlantic Yards Project in the Prospect Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn. The massive building project – according to the filmmakers, the densest real estatedevelopment in U.S. history – required the procurement of 22 acres of land, and would bring a sports complex to house the New Jersey Nets along with 16high-rise buildings to the heart of Brooklyn. Initially tasked with filling the behemoth 22 acre complex was architect Frank Gehry, who NPR calls \"Americanarchitecture's prince of wasted space\". The film documents that the land was obtained by the developers through various means including the controversialdeclaration of the buildings in the area as \"blighted\", and the utilization of eminent domain to seize land from businesses and homeowners in the proposed projectarea.Director Michael Galinsky explained that it was their intention to create an immersive experience devoid of excessive commentary by \"talking heads\" in orderto allow the viewer some latitude to experience the events of the film for themselves. The result of this immersive experience after 7 years of filming can be seenas a character study of Daniel Goldstein – in the background of the story of the formation of Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn and the fight against thedevelopment, Goldstein, through the course of the filming, experiences personal triumphs and great sadness, including the death of his mother, the breakup withhis fiancée, the formation of a new relationship, and the birth of his child. The film documents his \"evolution from a bewildered property owner to sophisticatedspokesman and property rights activist.\"The formation of the community activism group Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn (DDDB) with the help of NYCCouncilmember Letitia James helped bring Goldstein's cause into the public eye, quickly gaining the support of Brooklyn-based actors like Steve Buscemi, RosiePerez and John Turturro, and conservative columnist George Will.ProductionThe film, which was shortlisted for an Academy Award in 2012 for the 84th AcademyAwards, was produced and directed by Michael Galinsky and Suki Hawley. Hawley and Galinsky began production in 2003, when they came across a flyerexplaining the protest. Galinsky started shooting the very same afternoon. The film's importance extends beyond Goldstein's fight against the abuse of eminentdomain, Galinsky describes the film as being \"really about the people retaking narratives from the media which is faltering ... in these situations.\" The filmreceived its initial financing from the New York-based non-profit Moving Picture Institute.In a 2011 interview, Galinsky described the events that led to the start offilming:I saw an article in the paper that said, \"A development project is coming to Brooklyn. Hooray!\" I thought, \"This seems a little bit weird.\" I knew the area itwas coming to. It seemed it was impossible. It's in the middle of playgrounds and neighborhoods. My daughter went to daycare a block from there. So, when Isaw a flyer saying, \"stop the project,\" I immediately picked it up, called the number on the flyer, and the woman who answered was Patti Hagan, who I could tellright away was an interesting character. So I started shooting that afternoon. That was eight years ago.On April 30, 2011, Battle for Brooklyn premiered inToronto at the HotDocs Film Festival.Critical receptionAndrew O'Hehir of Salon says of the film's appeal, \"No doubt \"Battle for Brooklyn\" will be of most interest toNew Yorkers, and particularly to people who live or work in the city's most populous borough. But the film's basic situation — local residents and communityactivists vs. the development schemes of major politicians and big business — is an archetypal element of urban life, one that can be found in almost any city,large or small, from Maine to California.\"S. James Snyder of Time Out New York writes, \"Nothing propels a documentary like injustice, and Michael Galinsky andSuki Hawley's infuriating chronicle of an outer-borough David-versus-Goliath saga plays like a marathon of inequity.\"Gary Goldstein of the Los Angeles Times saidthat although the film is \"not exactly even-handed, the movie proves a deft look at a reluctant crusader and how financial sway and political override can soeffectively trump the power of the average citizen.\"Awards and recognition2011 Best Documentary & Best Film – Brooklyn Film FestivalNew York Times Critics'PickFilm Festivals2011 Chicago Underground Film Festival2011 Rooftop Films Summer Series2011 Brooklyn Film Festival (United States Premiere)2011 HotDocs(World Premiere)Passage 2:List of artists from BrooklynBrooklyn is the most populous borough of New York City, New York.

He further stated: \"About two years ago we decided to make a movie abouther—her career and her life. It's a very complicated and tender movie.

It was revealed thatthe film would be very similar to Senna, and that unseen footage of Winehouse would be shown. Kapadia and Gay-Rees stated: \"Everyone fell under her spell.

Davis. It was filmed at Mamaroneck Harbor in Mamaroneck, NY.Plot and critical responseTime magazine:An extremely funny 15-minute film,may be taken as a solemn leg-pull of the recent vogue for dribble-and-splotch painters, those athletic canvas-coverers whose style owes less to Van Gogh's brushtechnique than to Stan Laurel's custard pie stance. Or it may be taken as an explicit set of instructions for getting rich.The film, a first-time effort by threeex-admen, begins with a loving shot of wharfs, fishing shacks and sounding sea-the sort of vista once sketched avidly by artists and now appreciated chiefly byretired couples who tour Cape Cod in late September. The artist is a burly fellow (Ezra Reuben Baker), recognizably aesthetic in paint-smeared dungarees,scurrilous red sweater and combat boots. He trundles a cart filled with paint buckets along a dock, then throws an enormous sheet of wallboard down on a mudflat ten feet below.Soberly, with exquisite skill, using first a vigorous forehand, then a precisely executed backhand, the painter slops color from buckets. Clearlyhe is a master, for his stroke with the long-handled hoe is sure and strong, his touch with the dribble-stick more than Japanese in its delicacy. And when he fills aflare pistol with paint and fires the last accent of orange at his abstraction, he does not pull the trigger. He squeezes.When the thing dries, he hacks it up inrandom rectangles with a power saw, then carefully signs each fragment. A seaplane, labeled \"Galerie des Abstracts, Paris-New York,\" touches down. A mandebarks whose rich, dark overcoat obviously proclaims him an art dealer. He strokes his jaw as he examines the paintings, eventually selects a small one, shakeshands with the painter and takes off. Pleased with himself, the painter matter-of-factly shoves the remaining works of art into the ocean. This, as the screentruly proclaims, is the end.New York Herald Tribune:A hilarious good - natured spoof of abstract-expressionist painting has been made the subject of a coloredfilm-short called \"Day of the Painter.\" .........Without sound or sub-titles (except for a delightful musical score somewhat reminiscent of that which accompaniedthe Alex Guinness film, \"The Horse's Mouth\") the film begins with the artist's awakening in a crumbling shack on a rickety pier reaching out over a picturesquestream. His \"Wall Street Journal\" is delivered by boat, and, having ascertained that his investments are doing well, he loads a wheelbarrow with assorted cans ofpaint, long sticks, and a spray gun, has two helpers carry his enormous blank canvas, and sets off to his muddy \"studio\" by the side of the stream. All day longhe flings, scatters, shoots, pushes paint all over his canvas and himself. The picture grows, and, actually, turns out to be quite handsome-in the Jackson Pollockmanner, of course, but attractive for all it imitativeness. Sea gulls and swans waddle by, their expressions rather suggesting that of critics.At last the painter isfinished, carefully studies his work-and then proceeds to cut the enormous canvas up into pieces.At the end of the day a small seaplane comes by, docksalongside the pier, while the passenger-pilot, looking like any 57th St. dealer you care to name, surveys the day's work. He examines carefully, he ponders, andhe finally selects one small segment of the canvas, places it in the plane, and takes off.The painter takes all the other pieces, tosses them into the stream, andthey float away with the gulls and swans, not unlike the unforgettable Gulley Jimson, in \"The Horse's Mouth,\" floating gallantly out to sea in his batteredtugboat.Audiences, apparently, are enjoying the film-except for a group the other night who were plainly pro-abstract-expressionism, and hissed when the rest ofthe house applauded. None of it was ill-natured, however, probably because the abstract-expressionism picture being kidded looks so agreeable.AwardsDay ofthe Painter won an Oscar at the 33rd Academy Awards in 1961 for Best Short Subject.Passage 4:Jacques DécombeJacques Décombe is a French author, actor anddirector born in 1953.BiographyAfter he studied at the Conservatoire national d'art dramatique, he was the director of the shows of Les Inconnus at the request ofDidier Bourdon and won the Molière Award for best comedy show.

The song wasperformed by the group Global Kryner. The Austrian broadcaster Österreichischer Rundfunk (ORF) organised the national final Song.Null.Fünf in order to selectthe Austrian entry for the 2005 contest in Kyiv, Ukraine. Five artists and ten songs competed in a televised show where a public vote consisting of regionaltelevoting and mobile phone voting exclusively selected \"Y así\" performed by Global Kryner as the winner.Austria competed in the semi-final of the EurovisionSong Contest, which took place on 19 May 2005. Performing as the opening entry for the show in position 1, \"Y así\" was not announced among the top 10 entriesof the semi-final and therefore did not qualify to compete in the final. It was later revealed that Austria placed twenty-first out of the 25 participating countries inthe semi-final with 30 points.BackgroundPrior to the 2005 contest, Austria has participated in the Eurovision Song Contest forty-one times since its first entry in1957. The nation has won the contest on one occasion: in 1966 with the song \"Merci, Chérie\" performed by Udo Jürgens. Following the introduction of semi-finalsfor the 2004 contest, Austria has featured in only one final. Austria's least successful result has been last place, which they have achieved on seven occasions,most recently in 1991. Austria has also received nul points on three occasions: in 1962, 1988 and 1991.The Austrian national broadcaster, ÖsterreichischerRundfunk (ORF), broadcasts the event within Austria and organises the selection process for the nation's entry. ORF confirmed their intentions to participate atthe 2005 Eurovision Song Contest on 17 September 2004. From 1995 to 2000, ORF has held an internal selection to choose the artist and song to representAustria at the contest, while the broadcaster had set up national finals with several artists to choose both the song and performer to compete at Eurovision forAustria from 2002 to 2004. Along with their participation confirmation, the broadcaster also announced that the Austrian entry for the 2005 contest would beselected through a national final.Before EurovisionSong.Null.FünfSong.Null.Fünf (Song.Zero.Five) was the national final that selected Austria's entry for theEurovision Song Contest 2005. The competition took place on 25 February 2005 at the ORF Center in Vienna, hosted by Mirjam Weichselbraun and ChristianClerici and broadcast on ORF eins. The national final was watched by 630,000 viewers in Austria.FormatFive artists with two songs each competed in thecompetition where the winner was selected by exclusively by public voting. Viewers were able to cast their votes via landline and the voting results of each of thenine Federal States of Austria created an overall ranking from which points from 1-8, 10 and 12 were distributed. Viewers were also able to vote from mobiles viatelephone or SMS and the overall ranking of the entries was also assigned scores from 1-8, 10 and 12. After the combination of all scores, the entry with thehighest number of points was selected as the winner.Competing entriesORF invited all interested artists with a contract to a record company to apply to thebroadcaster between 17 September 2004 and 30 September 2004. All applications were reviewed by a team of music professionals who nominated four artists toeach submit two songs for the national final. On 20 October 2004, DJ Ötzi revealed that he had initially been selected for the competition but later withdrew afterissues with creating his two candidate Eurovision songs. An additional artist was nominated by the talent scout organisation Projekt Pop after an additionalsubmission period was opened for interested artists without a contract to a record company to submit two songs to the organisation between 4 November 2004and 25 November 2004. The five artists and songs were revealed on 5 January 2005 and among the competing artists was former Austrian Eurovisionrepresentative Alf Poier who represented Austria in the Eurovision Song Contest 2003.FinalThe televised final took place on 25 February 2005. Each of the fiveartists competed with two songs where regional televoting and mobile phone voting selected \"Y así\" performed by Global Kryner as the winner.ControversyThenational final caused controversy due to the format that was amended shortly before the show (the original format was to include two rounds of public votingwhere one song per artist would be selected in the first round to advance to the second round). When the results were published, 80% of the 337,179 votesregistered were submitted via mobiles but distributed just as many points as each federal state did. It was also revealed that \"Good Old Europe Is Dying\"performed by Alf Poier received the most overall votes (45,000 votes more than \"Y así\") but placed second due to the voting system. Poier's manager René Bertostated: \"We prefer to be the moral winner rather than winning a cheap victory. Global Kryner did not win because of the fans, but because of ORF's last-minutechange of the voting system.\"At EurovisionAccording to Eurovision rules, all nations with the exceptions of the host country, the \"Big Four\" (France, Germany,Spain and the United Kingdom), and the ten highest placed finishers in the 2004 contest are required to qualify from the semi-final on 19 May 2005 in order tocompete for the final on 21 May 2005; the top ten countries from the semi-final progress to the final. On 22 March 2005, a special allocation draw was held whichdetermined the running order for the semi-final and Austria was set to open the show and perform in position 1, before the entry from Lithuania. At the end of theshow, Austria was not announced among the top 10 entries in the semi-final and therefore failed to qualify to compete in the final.

Her art inspired Ballew to consider making music that \"sounded like her art looked\" as he has said. Ballew began writingoriginal songs and digging up nursery rhymes and folk songs in the public domain to interpret and make his own. The first album, Here I Am!, was recordedduring the summer of 2008 and released in February 2009.Ballew began to perform solo as Caspar Babypants in the Seattle area in January 2009. Fred Northup,a Seattle-based comedy improvisor, heard the album and offered to play as his live percussionist. Northrup also suggested his frequent collaborator Ron Hippe asa keyboard player. \"Frederick Babyshirt\" and \"Ronald Babyshoes\" were the Caspar Babypants live band from May 2009 to April 2012. Both Northup and Hippeappear on some of his recordings but since April 2012 Caspar Babypants has exclusively performed solo. The reasons for the change were to include moreimprovisation in the show and to reduce the sound levels so that very young children and newborns could continue to attend without being overstimulated. Ballewhas made two albums of Beatles covers as Caspar Babypants. Baby Beatles! came out in September 2013 and Beatles Baby! came out in September 2015.Ballewruns the Aurora Elephant Music record label, books shows, produces, records, and masters the albums himself. Distribution for the albums is handled by BurnsideDistribution in Portland, Oregon.Caspar Babypants has released a total of 17 albums. The 17th album, BUG OUT!, was released on May 1, 2020.

He was the director of the Peabody EssexMuseum in Salem for 17 months, resigning December 31, 2020. He was the director of the Toledo Museum of Art in Ohio from 2010 to 2019. He was the directorof the Hood Museum of Art from 2005 to 2010, and the National Gallery of Australia (Canberra) from 1997 to 2004.CareerBrian Kennedy currently lives and worksin the United States after leaving Australia in 2005 to direct the Hood Museum of Art at Dartmouth College. In October 2010 he became the ninth Director of theToledo Museum of Art. On 1 July 2019, he succeeded Dan Monroe as the executive director and CEO of the Peabody Essex Museum.Early life and career inIrelandKennedy was born in Dublin and attended Clonkeen College. He received B.A. (1982), M.A. (1985) and PhD (1989) degrees from UniversityCollege-Dublin, where he studied both art history and history.He worked in the Irish Department of Education (1982), the European Commission, Brussels(1983), and in Ireland at the Chester Beatty Library (1983–85), Government Publications Office (1985–86), and Department of Finance (1986–89). He marriedMary Fiona Carlin in 1988.He was Assistant Director at the National Gallery of Ireland in Dublin from 1989 to 1997. He was Chair of the Irish Association of ArtHistorians from 1996 to 1997, and of the Council of Australian Art Museum Directors from 2001 to 2003. In September 1997 he became Director of the NationalGallery of Australia.National Gallery of Australia (NGA)Kennedy expanded the traveling exhibitions and loans program throughout Australia, arranged for severalmajor shows of Australian art abroad, increased the number of exhibitions at the museum itself and oversaw the development of an extensive multi-mediasite. Although he oversaw several years of the museum's highest ever annual visitation, he discontinued the emphasis of his predecessor, Betty Churcher, onshowing \"blockbuster\" exhibitions.During his directorship, the NGA gained government support for improving the building and significant private donations andcorporate sponsorship. However, the initial design for the building proved controversial generating a public dispute with the original architect on moral rightsgrounds. As a result, the project was not delivered during Dr Kennedy's tenure, with a significantly altered design completed some years later. Private fundingsupported two acquisitions of British art, including David Hockney's A Bigger Grand Canyon in 1999, and Lucian Freud's After Cézanne in 2001. Kennedy built onthe established collections at the museum by acquiring the Holmgren-Spertus collection of Indonesian textiles; the Kenneth Tyler collection of editioned prints,screens, multiples and unique proofs; and the Australian Print Workshop Archive. He was also notable for campaigning for the construction of a new \"front\"entrance to the Gallery, facing King Edward Terrace, which was completed in 2010 (see reference to the building project above).Kennedy's cancellation of the\"Sensation exhibition\" (scheduled at the NGA from 2 June 2000 to 13 August 2000) was controversial, and seen by some as censorship. He claimed that thedecision was due to the exhibition being \"too close to the market\" implying that a national cultural institution cannot exhibit the private collection of a speculativeart investor. However, there were other exhibitions at the NGA during his tenure, which could have raised similar concerns. The exhibition featured the privatelyowned Young British Artists works belonging to Charles Saatchi and attracted large attendances in London and Brooklyn. Its most controversial work was ChrisOfili's The Holy Virgin Mary, a painting which used elephant dung and was accused of being blasphemous. The then-mayor of New York, Rudolph Giuliani,campaigned against the exhibition, claiming it was \"Catholic-bashing\" and an \"aggressive, vicious, disgusting attack on religion.\" In November 1999, Kennedycancelled the exhibition and stated that the events in New York had \"obscured discussion of the artistic merit of the works of art\". He has said that it \"was thetoughest decision of my professional life, so far.\"Kennedy was also repeatedly questioned on his management of a range of issues during the AustralianGovernment's Senate Estimates process - particularly on the NGA's occupational health and safety record and concerns about the NGA's twenty-year-oldair-conditioning system. The air-conditioning was finally renovated in 2003. Kennedy announced in 2002 that he would not seek extension of his contract beyond2004, accepting a seven-year term as had his two predecessors.He became a joint Irish-Australian citizen in 2003.Toledo Museum of ArtThe Toledo Museum ofArt is known for its exceptional collections of European and American paintings and sculpture, glass, antiquities, artist books, Japanese prints and netsuke. Themuseum offers free admission and is recognized for its historical leadership in the field of art education. During his tenure, Kennedy has focused the museum'sart education efforts on visual literacy, which he defines as \"learning to read, understand and write visual language.\" Initiatives have included baby and toddlertours, specialized training for all staff, docents, volunteers and the launch of a website, www.vislit.org. In November 2014, the museum hosted the InternationalVisual Literacy Association (IVLA) conference, the first Museum to do so. Kennedy has been a frequent speaker on the topic, including 2010 and 2013 TEDx talkson visual and sensory literacy.Kennedy has expressed an interest in expanding the museum's collection of contemporary art and art by indigenous peoples. Worksby Frank Stella, Sean Scully, Jaume Plensa, Ravinder Reddy and Mary Sibande have been acquired. In addition, the museum has made major acquisitions of OldMaster paintings by Frans Hals and Luca Giordano.During his tenure the Toledo Museum of Art has announced the return of several objects from its collection dueto claims the objects were stolen and/or illegally exported prior being sold to the museum. In 2011 a Meissen sweetmeat stand was returned to Germanyfollowed by an Etruscan Kalpis or water jug to Italy (2013), an Indian sculpture of Ganesha (2014) and an astrological compendium to Germany in 2015.HoodMuseum of ArtKennedy became Director of the Hood Museum of Art in July 2005. During his tenure, he implemented a series of large and small-scale exhibitionsand oversaw the production of more than 20 publications to bring greater public attention to the museum's remarkable collections of the arts of America, Europe,Africa, Papua New Guinea and the Polar regions. At 70,000 objects, the Hood has one of the largest collections on any American college of university campus. Theexhibition, Black Womanhood: Images, Icons, and Ideologies of the African Body, toured several US venues. Kennedy increased campus curricular use of works ofart, with thousands of objects pulled from storage for classes annually. Numerous acquisitions were made with the museum's generous endowments, and hecurated several exhibitions: including Wenda Gu: Forest of Stone Steles: Retranslation and Rewriting Tang Dynasty Poetry, Sean Scully: The Art of the Stripe, andFrank Stella: Irregular Polygons.PublicationsKennedy has written or edited a number of books on art, including:Alfred Chester Beatty and Ireland 1950-1968: Astudy in cultural politics, Glendale Press (1988), ISBN 978-0-907606-49-9Dreams and responsibilities: The state and arts in independent Ireland, Arts Council ofIreland (1990), ISBN 978-0-906627-32-7Jack B Yeats: Jack Butler Yeats, 1871-1957 (Lives of Irish Artists), Unipub (October 1991), ISBN978-0-948524-24-0The Anatomy Lesson: Art and Medicine (with Davis Coakley), National Gallery of Ireland (January 1992), ISBN 978-0-903162-65-4Ireland:Art into History (with Raymond Gillespie), Roberts Rinehart Publishers (1994), ISBN 978-1-57098-005-3Irish Painting, Roberts Rinehart Publishers (November1997), ISBN 978-1-86059-059-7Sean Scully: The Art of the Stripe, Hood Museum of Art (October 2008), ISBN 978-0-944722-34-3Frank Stella: IrregularPolygons, 1965-1966, Hood Museum of Art (October 2010), ISBN 978-0-944722-39-8Honors and achievementsKennedy was awarded the Australian CentenaryMedal in 2001 for service to Australian Society and its art.

It tells a story of two star-crossed lovers. The singer falls in love with a person who belongs to an opposing gang. At the end of the song, the singer's lover jumps in to defend the singer, who is confronting his lover's brother (the singer's \"sworn enemy\") and is killed by the bullet intended for the singer.Track listingThe 7\" single sold in the UK was mispressed, with \"Culling of the Fold\" as the B-side despite the artwork and record label listing \"After the Bombs\" as the B-side.Music videosFor the \"O Valencia!\" music video, The Decemberists filmed themselves in front of a green screen and asked fans to complete it by digitally adding in background images or footage. Stephen Colbert of The Colbert Report, having recently asked fans to do the same with a video of him with a light saber in front of a green screen, brought up The Decemberists on his segment \"Look Who's Riding on My Coattails Now\" and accused the band of stealing the idea. The Decemberists' response was to challenge Stephen Colbert to a guitar solo showdown on December 20, 2006, on The Colbert Report.On January 19, 2007, The Decemberists premiered an alternate music video of \"O Valencia!\", directed by Aaron Stewart-Ahn, on MTV2. The video follows a character named Patrick, played by Meloy, as he and his love Francesca (Lisa Molinaro), daughter of \"the Boss\", plan an escape to an unknown location. At a cafe, a man in a suit, portrayed by the band member Chris Funk, tells him to hide in the \"Valencia\" hotel (the Super Value Inn on North Interstate Avenue in Portland, Oregon) while he gets them the necessary documentation to escape. Above the name of the hotel, there is a neon sign that reads \" Office\". The letters have all burnt out except for the \"O\", creating the title of the song. The video then introduces other characters - various assassination teams - who sit in different rooms of the hotel waiting for the chance to catch the two lovers. Most are portrayed by other members of the band (along with Meloy's wife, Carson Ellis). They kill off any potential witnesses to their plan. Patrick manages to take down one member from each team, before they gang up on him. The Boss arrives, along with the man from the cafe, who reveals that he snitched on Patrick and Francesca. They execute Francesca, while forcing Patrick to watch. After they leave, Patrick finds a note by Francesca, which reveals that she never fell in love with him, and only wanted protection. 2 months later, Patrick and the man, who has lost an eye from a previous assassination attempt, have a sit-down at the same cafe. The man reveals that he snitched on Patrick just to take over the town. Patrick reveals that he poisoned a drink the man was having, but before he could get away, the man stabs Patrick in the neck with a fork before dying, followed by Patrick.The video is somewhat influenced by the distinct style and themes of director Wes Anderson, with bold fonts being used to introduce characters and groups on the bottom of the screen (much like in the film The Royal Tenenbaums). The band had previously (and more explicitly) drawn influence from Anderson's Rushmore in their video for \"Sixteen Military Wives\". The layout of the hotel is also similar to the one used in Bottle Rocket.Kurt Nishimura was chosen as the winner by mtvU for his video that depicted a love affair between a woman and her television, with the TV containing the green-screened Decemberists video footage.Passage 2:Obata ToramoriObata Toramori (\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000, 1491 – July 14, 1561) was Japanese samurai warrior of the Sengoku Period.

She has won several awards for her music and, as of 2023, had sold more than 50 million records worldwide. Billboard named her the top jazz artist of the 2000's decade. She has won nine Grammy Awards and was ranked 60th on Billboard magazine's artists of the 2000s decade chart.In 2002, Jones launched her solo music career with the release of Come Away with Me, which was a fusion of jazz with country, blues, folk and pop. It was certified diamond, selling over 27 million copies. The record earned Jones five Grammy Awards, including the Album of the Year, Record of the Year, and Best New Artist. Her subsequent studio albums—Feels Like Home (2004), Not Too Late (2007), and The Fall (2009)—all gained platinum status, selling over a million copies each. They were also generally well received by critics. Jones's fifth studio album, Little Broken Hearts, was released on April 27, 2012; her sixth, Day Breaks, was released on October 7, 2016. Her seventh studio album, Pick Me Up Off the Floor, was released on June 12, 2020. Jones made her feature film debut as an actress in My Blueberry Nights, which was released in 2007 and was directed by Wong Kar-Wai.Jones is the daughter of Indian sitarist and composer Ravi Shankar and concert producer Sue Jones, and is the half-sister of fellow musicians Anoushka Shankar and Shubhendra Shankar.Early lifeJones was born Geethali Norah Jones Shankar on March 30, 1979, in Manhattan, New York City, to American concert producer Sue Jones and Indian Bengali musician Ravi Shankar.After her parents separated in 1986, Jones lived with her mother, growing up in Grapevine, Texas. As a child, Jones began singing in church and also took piano and voice lessons. She attended Colleyville Middle School and Grapevine High School before transferring to Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts in Dallas. Her music took its first form early on in the local Methodist Church where she regularly sang solos. While in high school, she sang in the school choir, participated in band, and played the alto saxophone. At the age of 16, with both parents' consent, she officially changed her name to Norah Jones, removing the Indian elements from her name.Jones always had an affinity for the music of Bill Evans and Billie Holiday, among other \"oldies\". She once said, \"My mom had this eight-album Billie Holiday set; I picked out one disc that I liked and played that over and over again\".She attended Interlochen Center for the Arts during the summers. While at high school, she won the Down Beat Student Music Awards for Best Jazz Vocalist (twice, in 1996 and 1997) and Best Original Composition (1996).Jones attended the University of North Texas (UNT), where she majored in jazz piano and sang with the UNT Jazz Singers. During this time, she had a chance meeting with future collaborator Jesse Harris. She gave a ride to a band playing at the university whose members happened to be friends of Harris. He was on a cross-country road trip with friend and future Little Willies member Richard Julian, and stopped to see the band play. After meeting Jones, Harris started sending her lead sheets of his songs.In 1999, Jones left Texas for New York City. Less than a year later, she started a band with Harris, and her recordings with them were bestsellers.Musical careerJones was a lounge singer before becoming a recording artist. Before releasing her first studio album, she performed with Wax Poetic, Peter Malick, and jazz guitarist Charlie Hunter.2000–2001: New York City, First SessionsAs Peter Malick states in the liner notes, \"I started looking for a singer who might be open to recording [my latest songs] for me. On a Tuesday night, I walked into the Living Room just as the singer announced the last song of the set. The Dinah Washington classic 'Since I Fell for You' filled the room and I was struck breathless. Here, in the tradition of Billie Holiday, was a stunningly beautiful, blues infused voice. This was my first contact with Norah Jones.\" Malick asked her to participate in sessions at Room 9 from Outer Space in South Boston, during August and September 2000. They recorded Malick's songs \"New York City\", \" Strange Transmissions\", \"Deceptively Yours\" and \"Things You Don't Have to Do\" in addition to cover versions of \"All Your Love\" by Sam Maghett and \"Heart of Mine\" by Bob Dylan. These songs became the album New York City (Koch, 2003) by the Peter Malick Group Featuring Norah Jones.After moving to New York City, Jones signed to Blue Note, a label owned by EMI Group. The signing came as an indirect result of her performing as lead singer for the JC Hopkins Biggish Band. Shell White, who was the wife of J. C. Hopkins, worked for EMI Publishing and gave Jones's three-track demo to Bruce Lundvall, the label's president, and Brian Bacchus, its artists and repertoire agent (A&R). The demo contained two jazz standards and a song by Jesse Harris. The two executives agreed that Jones had potential. Despite their misgivings about the direction of her music, they signed her to the label. Bacchus told HitQuarters, \"We let her find her own direction ... We knew that if she could develop her songwriting and we could find great songs, it would work.\"2002: Come Away with MeBacchus thought producer and engineer Jay Newland's experience in jazz, blues, rock, country, and folk music would give a \"feeling for her sound.\" Jones and Newland recorded nine demo tracks. Four appeared on the sampler First Sessions (2001). The rest were set aside for her debut album. Come Away with Me (2002) was praised for its blend of acoustic pop with soul and jazz. Debuting at No. 139, it reached No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard 200. The single \"Don't Know Why\" hit No. 1 on the Top 40 Adult Recurrents in 2003 and No. 30 in the Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart. At the 45th Grammy Awards in 2003, Jones was nominated for eight Grammy Awards and won five: Best New Artist, Album of the Year, Best Pop Vocal Album, Record of the Year, and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for \"Don't Know Why\". This tied Lauryn Hill and Alicia Keys for most Grammy Awards received by a female artist in one night.

He was the director of the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem for 17 months, resigning December 31,2020. He was the director of the Toledo Museum of Art in Ohio from 2010 to 2019. He was the director of the Hood Museum of Art from 2005 to 2010, and theNational Gallery of Australia (Canberra) from 1997 to 2004.CareerBrian Kennedy currently lives and works in the United States after leaving Australia in 2005 todirect the Hood Museum of Art at Dartmouth College. In October 2010 he became the ninth Director of the Toledo Museum of Art. On 1 July 2019, he succeededDan Monroe as the executive director and CEO of the Peabody Essex Museum.Early life and career in IrelandKennedy was born in Dublin and attended ClonkeenCollege. He received B.A. (1982), M.A. (1985) and PhD (1989) degrees from University College-Dublin, where he studied both art history and history.He workedin the Irish Department of Education (1982), the European Commission, Brussels (1983), and in Ireland at the Chester Beatty Library (1983–85), GovernmentPublications Office (1985–86), and Department of Finance (1986–89). He married Mary Fiona Carlin in 1988.He was Assistant Director at the National Gallery ofIreland in Dublin from 1989 to 1997. He was Chair of the Irish Association of Art Historians from 1996 to 1997, and of the Council of Australian Art MuseumDirectors from 2001 to 2003. In September 1997 he became Director of the National Gallery of Australia.National Gallery of Australia (NGA)Kennedy expandedthe traveling exhibitions and loans program throughout Australia, arranged for several major shows of Australian art abroad, increased the number of exhibitionsat the museum itself and oversaw the development of an extensive multi-media site. Although he oversaw several years of the museum's highest ever annualvisitation, he discontinued the emphasis of his predecessor, Betty Churcher, on showing \"blockbuster\" exhibitions.During his directorship, the NGA gainedgovernment support for improving the building and significant private donations and corporate sponsorship. However, the initial design for the building provedcontroversial generating a public dispute with the original architect on moral rights grounds. As a result, the project was not delivered during Dr Kennedy'stenure, with a significantly altered design completed some years later. Private funding supported two acquisitions of British art, including David Hockney's ABigger Grand Canyon in 1999, and Lucian Freud's After Cézanne in 2001. Kennedy built on the established collections at the museum by acquiring theHolmgren-Spertus collection of Indonesian textiles; the Kenneth Tyler collection of editioned prints, screens, multiples and unique proofs; and the Australian PrintWorkshop Archive. He was also notable for campaigning for the construction of a new \"front\" entrance to the Gallery, facing King Edward Terrace, which wascompleted in 2010 (see reference to the building project above).Kennedy's cancellation of the \"Sensation exhibition\" (scheduled at the NGA from 2 June 2000 to13 August 2000) was controversial, and seen by some as censorship. He claimed that the decision was due to the exhibition being \"too close to the market\"implying that a national cultural institution cannot exhibit the private collection of a speculative art investor. However, there were other exhibitions at the NGAduring his tenure, which could have raised similar concerns. The exhibition featured the privately owned Young British Artists works belonging to Charles Saatchiand attracted large attendances in London and Brooklyn. Its most controversial work was Chris Ofili's The Holy Virgin Mary, a painting which used elephant dungand was accused of being blasphemous. The then-mayor of New York, Rudolph Giuliani, campaigned against the exhibition, claiming it was \"Catholic-bashing\" andan \"aggressive, vicious, disgusting attack on religion.\" In November 1999, Kennedy cancelled the exhibition and stated that the events in New York had \"obscureddiscussion of the artistic merit of the works of art\". He has said that it \"was the toughest decision of my professional life, so far.\"Kennedy was also repeatedlyquestioned on his management of a range of issues during the Australian Government's Senate Estimates process - particularly on the NGA's occupational healthand safety record and concerns about the NGA's twenty-year-old air-conditioning system. The air-conditioning was finally renovated in 2003. Kennedy announcedin 2002 that he would not seek extension of his contract beyond 2004, accepting a seven-year term as had his two predecessors.He became a jointIrish-Australian citizen in 2003.Toledo Museum of ArtThe Toledo Museum of Art is known for its exceptional collections of European and American paintings andsculpture, glass, antiquities, artist books, Japanese prints and netsuke. The museum offers free admission and is recognized for its historical leadership in the fieldof art education. During his tenure, Kennedy has focused the museum's art education efforts on visual literacy, which he defines as \"learning to read, understandand write visual language.\" Initiatives have included baby and toddler tours, specialized training for all staff, docents, volunteers and the launch of a website,www.vislit.org. In November 2014, the museum hosted the International Visual Literacy Association (IVLA) conference, the first Museum to do so. Kennedy hasbeen a frequent speaker on the topic, including 2010 and 2013 TEDx talks on visual and sensory literacy.Kennedy has expressed an interest in expanding themuseum's collection of contemporary art and art by indigenous peoples. Works by Frank Stella, Sean Scully, Jaume Plensa, Ravinder Reddy and Mary Sibandehave been acquired. In addition, the museum has made major acquisitions of Old Master paintings by Frans Hals and Luca Giordano.During his tenure the ToledoMuseum of Art has announced the return of several objects from its collection due to claims the objects were stolen and/or illegally exported prior being sold tothe museum. In 2011 a Meissen sweetmeat stand was returned to Germany followed by an Etruscan Kalpis or water jug to Italy (2013), an Indian sculpture ofGanesha (2014) and an astrological compendium to Germany in 2015.Hood Museum of ArtKennedy became Director of the Hood Museum of Art in July 2005.During his tenure, he implemented a series of large and small-scale exhibitions and oversaw the production of more than 20 publications to bring greater publicattention to the museum's remarkable collections of the arts of America, Europe, Africa, Papua New Guinea and the Polar regions. At 70,000 objects, the Hoodhas one of the largest collections on any American college of university campus. The exhibition, Black Womanhood: Images, Icons, and Ideologies of the AfricanBody, toured several US venues. Kennedy increased campus curricular use of works of art, with thousands of objects pulled from storage for classes annually.Numerous acquisitions were made with the museum's generous endowments, and he curated several exhibitions: including Wenda Gu: Forest of Stone Steles:Retranslation and Rewriting Tang Dynasty Poetry, Sean Scully: The Art of the Stripe, and Frank Stella: Irregular Polygons.PublicationsKennedy has written oredited a number of books on art, including:Alfred Chester Beatty and Ireland 1950-1968: A study in cultural politics, Glendale Press (1988), ISBN978-0-907606-49-9Dreams and responsibilities: The state and arts in independent Ireland, Arts Council of Ireland (1990), ISBN 978-0-906627-32-7Jack B Yeats:Jack Butler Yeats, 1871-1957 (Lives of Irish Artists), Unipub (October 1991), ISBN 978-0-948524-24-0The Anatomy Lesson: Art and Medicine (with DavisCoakley), National Gallery of Ireland (January 1992), ISBN 978-0-903162-65-4Ireland: Art into History (with Raymond Gillespie), Roberts Rinehart Publishers(1994), ISBN 978-1-57098-005-3Irish Painting, Roberts Rinehart Publishers (November 1997), ISBN 978-1-86059-059-7Sean Scully: The Art of the Stripe,Hood Museum of Art (October 2008), ISBN 978-0-944722-34-3Frank Stella: Irregular Polygons, 1965-1966, Hood Museum of Art (October 2010), ISBN978-0-944722-39-8Honors and achievementsKennedy was awarded the Australian Centenary Medal in 2001 for service to Australian Society and its art.

He rose to fame in the early 1970s for his transgressivecult films, including Multiple Maniacs (1970), Pink Flamingos (1972) and Female Trouble (1974). He wrote and directed the comedy film Hairspray (1988), whichbecame an international success and was later adapted into a hit Broadway musical and a 2007 musical film. He has written and directed other films, includingPolyester (1981), Cry-Baby (1990), Serial Mom (1994), Pecker (1998), and Cecil B. Demented (2000). His films contain elements of post-modern comedy andsurrealism. Waters often worked with actor and drag queen Divine and his regular cast of the Dreamlanders.As an actor, Waters has appeared in Sweet andLowdown (1999), Seed of Chucky (2004), 'Til Death Do Us Part (2007), Mangus! (2011), Excision (2012), and Suburban Gothic (2014). More recently, heperforms in his touring one-man show This Filthy World.Waters also works as a visual artist and across different media, such as installations, photography, andsculpture. In 2016, he received an honorary degree from the Maryland Institute College of Art. The audiobooks he narrated for his books Carsick and Mr.Know-It-All were nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Spoken Word Album in 2015 and 2020, respectively. In 2018, Waters was named an officer of theOrder of Arts and Letters in France.Early lifeWaters was born on April 22, 1946, in Baltimore, Maryland, one of four children born to Patricia Ann (née Whitaker)and John Samuel Waters, a manufacturer of fire-protection equipment. He was raised Roman Catholic by his mother, though his father was not Roman Catholic.Through his mother, who immigrated to the United States from Victoria, British Columbia, Canada as a child, he is the great-great-great-grandson of George PriceWhitaker of the Whitaker iron family. Waters grew up in Lutherville, Maryland, a suburb of Baltimore. His boyhood friend and muse, Glenn Milstead, later knownas Divine, also lived in Lutherville. Waters lived at 313 Morris Avenue in Lutherville from his early teenage years until he moved out in his early twenties. Watersand Milstead shot many of their early films at the house, dubbing the front lawn the \"Dreamland Lot\".The film Lili inspired an interest in puppets in theseven-year-old Waters, who proceeded to stage violent versions of Punch and Judy for children's birthday parties. Biographer Robrt L. Pela says that Waters'smother believes the puppets in Lili had the greatest influence on Waters's subsequent career (though Pela believes tacky films at a local drive-in, which the youngWaters watched from a distance through binoculars, had a greater effect).Cry-Baby was also a product of Waters's boyhood, because of his fascination as aseven-year-old with the \"drapes\" then receiving intense news coverage because of the murder of Carolyn Wasilewski, a young \"drapette\", and his admiration for ayoung man living across the street who had a hot rod.Waters was privately educated at the Calvert School in Baltimore. After attending Towson Jr. High School inTowson, Maryland, and Calvert Hall College High School in nearby Towson, he graduated from Boys' Latin School of Maryland. While still a teen, he made frequenttrips into downtown Baltimore to visit Martick's, a beatnik bar, where he and Milstead met many of their later film collaborators. He was underage and couldn'tenter the bar proper, but loitered in the adjacent alley, where he relied on the kindness of patrons to slip him drinks.CareerEarly careerWaters's first short filmwas Hag in a Black Leather Jacket.MGM's The Wizard of Oz (1939) had a profound effect on Waters' creative mind, He said about it:I was always drawn toforbidden subject matter in the very, very beginning. The Wizard of Oz opened me up because it was one of the first movies I ever saw. It opened me up tovillainy, to screenwriting, to costumes. And great dialogue. I think the witch has great, great dialogue.Waters has stated that he takes an equal amount of joy andinfluence from high-brow \"art\" films and sleazy exploitation films.In January 1966, Waters and some friends were caught smoking marijuana on the grounds ofNYU, and he was soon kicked out of his dormitory. He returned to Baltimore, where he completed his next two short films, Roman Candles and Eat Your Makeup.They were followed by the feature-length films Mondo Trasho and Multiple Maniacs.Waters's films became Divine's primary star vehicles. All of Waters's earlyfilms were shot in the Baltimore area with his company of local actors, the Dreamlanders—which, in addition to Divine, included Mink Stole, Cookie Mueller, EdithMassey, David Lochary, Mary Vivian Pearce, Susan Walsh, and others. Waters met Edith Massey while she was a bartender at Pete's Hotel.Waters's early campymovies present exaggerated characters in outrageous situations with hyperbolic dialogue. Pink Flamingos, Female Trouble and Desperate Living, which he labeledthe Trash Trilogy, pushed hard at the boundaries of conventional propriety and censorship.Move toward the mainstreamWaters's 1981 film Polyester starredDivine opposite former teen idol Tab Hunter. It was the first time that Waters was not the primary camera operator for his own work, as he had startedcollaborating with local film student David Insley. Since then, his films have become less controversial and more mainstream, although works such as Hairspray,Cry-Baby, Serial Mom, Pecker and Cecil B. Demented still retain his trademark inventiveness. Hairspray, the last film he produced, became a hit Broadwaymusical that swept the 2003 Tony Awards; and a film adaptation of the Broadway musical was released in theaters on July 20, 2007 to positive reviews andcommercial success. Cry-Baby, itself a musical, also became a Broadway musical.In 2004, the NC-17-rated A Dirty Shame marked a return to Waters' earlier,more controversial work of the 1970s. Currently, it is the most recent film he directed.In 2007, Waters became the host (\"The Groom Reaper\") of 'Til Death Do UsPart, a program on America's Court TV network.In 2008, he planned to make a children's Christmas film, Fruitcake starring Johnny Knoxville and Parker Posey.Filming was set for November 2008, but the project was shelved in January 2009. In 2010, Waters told the Chicago Tribune that \"Independent films that cost $5million are very hard to get made. I sold the idea, got a development deal, got paid a great salary to write it—and now the company is no longer around, which isthe case with many independent film companies these days.\"In October 2022, it was announced that Waters will adapt his novel, Liarmouth, into a film. VillageRoadshow Pictures will produce, and Waters will write and direct.Waters has often created characters with alliterated names for his films, such as Corny Collins,Cuddles Kovinsky, Donald and Donna Dasher, Dawn Davenport, Fat Fuck Frank, Francine Fishpaw, Link Larkin, Motormouth Maybelle, Mole McHenry, Penny and"} +{"doc_id":"doc_188","qid":"","text":"Passage 1:Greg A.

In the first innings of his first match, against Lancashire at The Oval, he took five wickets for 81 runs.Inhis first full season, 1948, he was Surrey's leading wicket-taker and in the last home game of the season he was awarded his county cap – he celebrated bytaking eight Northamptonshire wickets for 46 runs at The Oval, six of them coming in the space of 6.3 overs for seven runs. This would remain the best bowlingperformance of his first-class career, not surpassed, but he did equal it seven years later. In the following game, the last away match of the season, he took 10Hampshire wickets for 150 runs in the match at Bournemouth. In the 1948 season as a whole, he took 91 wickets at an average of 28.07. As a tail-endleft-handed batsman, he managed just 93 runs in the season at an average of 4.22.The emergence of Tony Lock as a slow left-arm bowler in 1949 brought astuttering end of McMahon's Surrey career. Though he played in 12 first-class matches in the 1949 season, McMahon took only 19 wickets; a similar number ofmatches in 1950 brought 34 wickets. In 1951, he played just seven times and in 1952 only three times. In 1953, Lock split the first finger of his left hand, andplayed in only 11 of Surrey's County Championship matches; McMahon played as his deputy in 14 Championship matches, though a measure of their comparativemerits was that Lock's 11 games produced 67 wickets at 12.38 runs apiece, while McMahon's 14 games brought him 45 wickets at the, for him, low average of21.53. At the end of the 1953 season, McMahon was allowed to leave Surrey to join Somerset, then languishing at the foot of the County Championship andrecruiting widely from other counties and other countries.Somerset cricketerSomerset's slow bowling in 1954 was in the hands of leg-spinner Johnny Lawrence,with support from the off-spin of Jim Hilton while promising off-spinner Brian Langford was on national service. McMahon filled a vacancy for a left-arm orthodoxspinner that had been there since the retirement of Horace Hazell at the end of the 1952 season; Hazell's apparent successor, Roy Smith, had failed to realise hispromise as a bowler in 1953, though his batting had advanced significantly.McMahon instantly became a first-team regular and played in almost every matchduring his four years with the county, not missing a single Championship game until he was controversially dropped from the side in August 1957, after which hedid not play in the Championship again.In the 1954 season, McMahon, alongside fellow newcomer Hilton, was something of a disappointment, according toWisden: \"The new spin bowlers, McMahon and Hilton, did not attain to the best standards of their craft in a wet summer, yet, like the rest of the attack, theywould have fared better with reasonable support in the field and from their own batsmen,\" it said. McMahon took 85 wickets at an average of 27.47 (Hilton tookonly 42 at a higher average). His best match was against Essex at Weston-super-Mare where he took six for 96 in the first innings and five for 45 in the second tofinish with match figures of 11 for 141, which were the best of his career. He was awarded his county cap in the 1954 season, but Somerset remained at thebottom of the table.The figures for the 1955 were similar: McMahon this time took 75 wickets at 28.77 apiece. There was a small improvement in his batting andthe arrival of Bryan Lobb elevated McMahon to No 10 in the batting order for most of the season, and he responded with 262 runs and an average of 9.03. Thisincluded his highest-ever score, 24, made in the match against Sussex at Frome. A week later in Somerset's next match, he equalled his best-ever bowlingperformance, taking eight Kent wickets for 46 runs in the first innings of a match at Yeovil through what Wisden called \"clever variation of flight and spin\". Thesematches brought two victories for Somerset, but there were only two others in the 1955 season and the side finished at the bottom of the Championship for thefourth season running.At the end of the 1955 season, Lawrence retired and McMahon became Somerset's senior spin bowler for the 1956 season, with Langfordreturning from National Service as the main support. McMahon responded with his most successful season so far, taking 103 wickets at an average of 25.57, theonly season in his career in which he exceeded 100 wickets. The bowling average improved still further in 1957 to 23.10 when McMahon took 86 wickets. But hisseason came to an abrupt end in mid-August 1957 when, after 108 consecutive Championship matches, he was dropped from the first team during theWeston-super-Mare festival. Though he played some games for the second eleven later in August, he regained his place in the first team for only a singleend-of-season friendly match, and he was told that his services were not required for the future, a decision, said Wisden, that \"proved highlycontroversial\".Sacked by SomersetThe reason behind McMahon's sacking did not become public knowledge for many years. In its obituary of him in 2002,McMahon was described by Wisden as \"a man who embraced the antipodean virtues of candour and conviviality\". It went on: \"Legend tells of a night at the FlyingHorse Inn in Nottingham when he beheaded the gladioli with an ornamental sword, crying: 'When Mac drinks, everybody drinks!'\" The obituary recounts a furtherescapade in second eleven match at Midsomer Norton where a curfew imposed on the team was circumvented by \"a POW-type loop\" organised by McMahon,\"with his team-mates escaping through a ground-storey window and then presenting themselves again\". As the only Somerset second eleven match thatMcMahon played in at Midsomer Norton was right at the end of the 1957 season, this may have been the final straw. But in any case there had been \"anembarrassing episode at Swansea's Grand Hotel\" earlier in the season, also involving Jim Hilton, who was also dismissed at the end of the season. Team-matesand club members petitioned for McMahon to be reinstated, but the county club was not to be moved.After a period in Lancashire League cricket with MilnrowCricket Club, McMahon moved back to London where he did office work, later contributing some articles to cricket magazines.== Notes and references==Passage 3:Wale AdebanwiWale Adebanwi (born 1969) is a Nigerian-born first Black Rhodes Professor at St Antony's College, Oxford where he was, until June2021, a Professor of Race Relations, and the Director of the African Studies Centre, School of Interdisciplinary Area Studies, and a Governing Board Fellow.

He was the grandfather of Ertuğrul Ghazi, the father of the founder of the Ottoman Empire, Osman I. He was also famously known for being the successing name of Ertokus Bey’s son Kaya Alp. He was a descendant of the ancestor of his tribe, Kayı son of Gun son of Oghuz Khagan, the legendary progenitor of the Oghuz Turks.Passage 2:Abd al-MuttalibShayba ibn Hāshim (Arabic: \u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000 \u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000 \u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000; c. 497–578), better known as \u0000Abd al-Mu\u0000\u0000alib, (Arabic: \u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000 \u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000, lit. 'Servant of Muttalib') was the fourth chief of the Quraysh tribal confederation. He was the grandfather of the Islamic prophet Muhammad.Early lifeHis father was Hashim ibn 'Abd Manaf,: 81 the progenitor of the distinguished Banu Hashim, a clan of the Quraysh tribe of Mecca. They claimed descent from Ismā'īl and Ibrāhīm. His mother was Salma bint Amr, from the Banu Najjar, a clan of the Khazraj tribe in Yathrib (later called Madinah). Hashim died while doing business in Gaza, before Abd al-Muttalib was born.: 81 His real name was \"Shaiba\" meaning 'the ancient one' or 'white-haired' because of the streak of white through his jet-black hair, and is sometimes also called Shaybah al-\u0000amd (\"The white streak of praise\").: 81–82 After his father's death he was raised in Yathrib with his mother and her family until about the age of eight, when his uncle Muttalib ibn Abd Manaf went to see him and asked his mother Salmah to entrust Shaybah to his care. Salmah was unwilling to let her son go and Shaiba refused to leave his mother without her consent. Mu\u0000\u0000alib then pointed out that the possibilities Yathrib had to offer were incomparable to Mecca. Salmah was impressed with his arguments, so she agreed to let him go. Upon first arriving in Mecca, the people assumed the unknown child was Muttalib's servant and started calling him 'Abd al-Muttalib (\"servant of Muttalib\").: 85–86Chieftain of Hashim clanWhen Mu\u0000\u0000alib died, Shaiba succeeded him as the chief of the Hāshim clan. Following his uncle Al-Mu\u0000\u0000alib, he took over the duties of providing the pilgrims with food and water, and carried on the practices of his forefathers with his people. He attained such eminence as none of his forefathers enjoyed; his people loved him and his reputation was great among them.: 61 'Umar ibn Al-Kha\u0000\u0000āb's grandfather Nufayl ibn Abdul Uzza arbitrated in a dispute between 'Abdul-Mu\u0000\u0000alib and \u0000arb ibn Umayyah, Abu Sufyan's father, over the custodianship of the Kaaba. Nufayl gave his verdict in favour of ' Abdul-Mu\u0000\u0000alib. Addressing \u0000arb ibn Umayyah, he said:Why do you pick a quarrel with a person who is taller than you in stature; more imposing than you in appearance; more refined than you in intellect; whose progeny outnumbers yours and whose generosity outshines yours in lustre? Do not, however, construe this into any disparagement of your good qualities which I highly appreciate. You are as gentle as a lamb, you are renowned throughout Arabia for the stentorian tones of your voice, and you are an asset to your tribe.Discovery of Zam Zam Well'Abdul-Mu\u0000\u0000alib said that while sleeping in the sacred enclosure, he had dreamed he was ordered to dig at the worship place of the Quraysh between the two deities Isāf and Nā'ila. There he would find the Zamzam Well, which the Jurhum tribe had filled in when they left Mecca. The Quraysh tried to stop him digging in that spot, but his son Al-\u0000ārith stood guard until they gave up their protests. After three days of digging, 'Abdul-Mu\u0000\u0000alib found traces of an ancient religious well and exclaimed, \"Allahuakbar!\" Some of the Quraysh disputed his claim to sole rights over water, then one of them suggested that they go to a female shaman who lived afar. It was said that she could summon jinns and that she could help them decide who was the owner of the well. So, 11 people from the 11 tribes went on the expedition. They had to cross the desert to meet the priestess but then they got lost. There was a lack of food and water and people started to lose hope of ever getting out. One of them suggested that they dig their own graves and if they died, the last person standing would bury the others. So all began digging their own graves and just as Abdul-Mu\u0000\u0000alib started digging, water spewed out from the hole he dug and everyone became overjoyed. It was then and there decided that Abdul-Muttalib was the owner of the Zam Zam well. Thereafter he supplied pilgrims to the Kaaba with Zam Zam water, which soon eclipsed all the other wells in Mecca because it was considered sacred.: 86–89 : 62–65The Year of the ElephantAccording to Muslim tradition, the Ethiopian governor of Yemen, Abrahah al-Ashram, envied the Kaaba's reverence among the Arabs and, being a Christian, he built a cathedral on Sana'a and ordered pilgrimage be made there.: 21 The order was ignored and someone desecrated (some saying in the form of defecation: 696 note 35 ) the cathedral. Abrahah decided to avenge this act by demolishing the Kaaba and he advanced with an army towards Mecca.: 22–23 There were thirteen elephants in Abrahah's army: 99 : 26 and the year came to be known as 'Ām al-Fīl (the Year of the Elephant), beginning a trend for reckoning the years in Arabia which was used until 'Umar ibn Al-Kha\u0000\u0000āb replaced it with the Islamic Calendar in 638 CE (17 AH), with the first year of the Islamic Calendar being 622 CE.When news of the advance of Abrahah's army came, the Arab tribes of Quraysh, Kinānah, Khuzā'ah and Hudhayl united in defence of the Kaaba. A man from the \u0000imyar tribe was sent by Abrahah to advise them that he only wished to demolish the Kaaba and if they resisted, they would be crushed. \" Abdul-Mu\u0000\u0000alib told the Meccans to seek refuge in the nearest high hills while he, with some leading members of Quraysh, remained within the precincts of the Kaaba. Abrahah sent a dispatch inviting 'Abdul-Mu\u0000\u0000alib to meet him and discuss matters. When 'Abdul-Mu\u0000\u0000alib left the meeting he was heard saying, \"The Owner of this House is its Defender, and I am sure He will save it from the attack of the adversaries and will not dishonour the servants of His House.\": 24–26 It is recorded that when Abrahah's forces neared the Kaaba, Allah commanded small birds (abābīl) to destroy Abrahah's army, raining down pebbles on it from their beaks. Abrahah was seriously wounded and retreated towards Yemen but died on the way.: 26–27 This event is referred to in the following Qur'anic chapter:Have you not seen how your Lord dealt with the owners of the Elephant?Did He not make their treacherous plan go astray?And He sent against them birds in flocks, striking them with stones of baked clay, so He rendered them like straw eaten up.Most Islamic sources place the event around the year that Muhammad was born, 570 CE, though other scholars place it one or two decades earlier. A tradition attributed to Ibn Shihab al-Zuhri in the musannaf of \u0000Abd al-Razzaq al-San\u0000ani places it before the birth of Muhammad's father.Sacrificing his son AbdullahAl-Harith was 'Abdul-Mu\u0000\u0000alib's only son at the time he dug the Zamzam Well.: 64 When the Quraysh tried to help him in the digging, he vowed that if he were to have ten sons to protect him, he would sacrifice one of them to Allah at the Kaaba. Later, after nine more sons had been born to him, he told them he must keep the vow. The divination arrows fell upon his favourite son Abdullah. The Quraysh protested 'Abdul-Mu\u0000\u0000alib's intention to sacrifice his son and demanded that he sacrifice something else instead. 'Abdul-Mu\u0000\u0000alib agreed to consult a \"sorceress with a familiar spirit\". She told him to cast lots between Abdullah and ten camels. If Abdullah were chosen, he had to add ten more camels, and keep on doing the same until his Lord accepted the camels in Abdullah's place. When the number of camels reached 100, the lot fell on the camels. 'Abdul-Mu\u0000\u0000alib confirmed this by repeating the test three times. Then the camels were sacrificed, and Abdullah was spared.: 66–68FamilyWivesAbd al-Muttalib had six known wives.Sumra bint Jundab of the Hawazin tribe.Lubnā bint Hājar of the Khuza'a tribe.Fatima bint Amr of the Makhzum clan of the Quraysh tribe.Halah bint Wuhayb of the Zuhrah clan of the Quraysh tribe.Natīla bint Janab of the Namir tribe.Mumanna'a bint Amr of the Khuza'a tribe.ChildrenAccording to Ibn Hisham, \u0000Abd al-Mu\u0000\u0000alib had ten sons and six daughters.: 707–708 note 97 However, Ibn Sa'd lists twelve sons.: 99–101 By Sumra bint Jundab:Al-\u0000ārith.: 708 He was the firstborn and he died before his father.: 99 Quthum.: 100 He is not listed by Ibn Hisham.By Fatima bint Amr:Al-Zubayr.: 707 He was a poet and a chief; his father made a will in his favour.: 99 He died before Islam, leaving two sons and daughters.: 101 : 34–35 Abu Talib, born as Abd Manaf,: 99 : 707 father of the future Caliph Ali.

One day Muhammad's mother, Amina, wanted to go to Yathrib, where her husband, Abdullah, died. So, Muhammad, Amina, Abd al-Muttalib and their caretaker, Umm Ayman started their journey to Medina, which is around 500 kilometres away from Makkah. They stayed there for three weeks, then, started their journey back to Mecca. But, when they reached halfway, at Al-Abwa', Amina became very sick and died six years after her husband's death. She was buried over there. From then, Muhammad became an orphan. Abd al-Muttalib became very sad for Muhammad because he loved him so much. Abd al-Muttalib took care of Muhammad. But when Muhammad was eight years old, the very old Abd al-Muttalib became very sick and died at age 81-82 in 578-579 CE.Shaybah ibn Hāshim's grave can be found in the Jannat al-Mu'allā cemetery in Makkah, Saudi Arabia.See alsoFamily tree of MuhammadFamily tree of "} +{"doc_id":"doc_190","qid":"","text":"Passage 1:Mona Hopton BellMona Hopton Bell (1867–1940) was a British artist, best known for her portraits of civic figures.She was the grandmother of the painter Jean H.

Through a second marriage with Thomas Aylesbury, she became the grandmother of Lady Anne Hyde, Duchess of York and great-grandmother of Queen Mary II and Queen Anne.Early lifeAnne was born in Olde Hall, West Retford in around 1587. She was the younger daughter of Francis Denman of Retford and Anne (Blount) Denman. Francis (born c. 1531, died 1599) was the rector of West Retford, Notts from 1578. He was the second son of Anne Hercy by her first husband, Nicholas Denman esq of East Retford, Notts. Francis had several sons who pre-deceased him and left two daughters as his heirs: Barbara (born c. 1583) who married Edward Darell (born c. 1582); and Anne.Anne's nephew, Dr John Darrell, was the youngest child of Barbara Denman and Edward Darell, and inherited substantial properties from both the Denman and Darell families. In 1665 just before his death he made a will dividing his estate between three charities. He donated the childhood home of Anne and Barbara, Olde Hall, to create a hospital for elderly men (an alms house), which became the site for Trinity Hospital, Retford (a Grade II listed building).MarriagesAnne was married at 20 and left a widow at 23 after the death of her first husband William, the younger son of Sir Thomas Darell. William was the half-brother of her sister Barbara's husband Edward.Anne left Retford due to some unknown trouble, or loss of fortune, in 1610 and proceeded to London by waggon-coach. Wilmshurst (1908) records that there had been a lawsuit between the two sisters in 1605.After reaching London, Anne is said to have halted at a hostel called the 'Goat and Compasses', where she rested before looking out for an occupation suitable for a country lady of good birth and family. The owner (not the landlord) of the hostel was Mr Thomas Aylesbury, a rich brewer of the Parish of St Andrew's, Holborn who happened to be making an inspection of his 'Houses' and required a housekeeper for his household, engaging Anne to this position. Thomas was a widower of 34, and a year later made Anne an offer of marriage.The marriage of Anne and Thomas was recorded in the Bishop of London's Registry, dated 3 October 1611, giving the couple's address as St Andrew's, Holborn. The registry notes that the marriage has 'the consent of his father, William Aylesbury, Esquire'. She is described in the register as 'Anne Darell, of the City of London, widow, whose husband died a year before'. Edwin Wilmshurst (1908) notes that Anne's first husband, William Darrel is described as 'of London', and apparently died there. He says this suggests Anne 'may have become acquainted with Mr Thomas Aylesbury before she became so young a widow and he a widower'. He also comments that on 17 April 1611, there was a partition of Estate between Edward Darrel and Barbara his wife, and her sister Anne, by an Indenture. This took place while she was working for Thomas Aylesbury but before she married him.Marrying Thomas was fortunate for Anne, as in 1627, he was created a Baronet, Master of the Mint, and Master of the Requests, by Charles I. After the King's death, the family moved to Antwerp with other Royalists. During this time in exile, Barbara, Anne's daughter died. Lady Anne Hyde, Duchess of York, and granddaughter of Anne Denman, later noted in her pocket book that her aunt Barbara died in Antwerp in 1652 and unmarried. 'My dear Aunt Bab was, when she died, 24 years of age.' Barbara, when in exile in Holland, was attached to the then Princess of Orange, as a lady in waiting at the Hague.ChildrenThe issue of Anne Denman's marriage with Thomas Aylesbury were:William baptised in 1612 at St Margaret's Lothbury in London, died in Jamaica in 1656Thomas (probably died young)Frances born 1617 died 1667, married Edward Hyde in 1634, had issueLady Anne (1637–1671), married King James II/VIIHon.

Anne returned to London. Sir Thomas's will was in favour of Anne and her daughter Frances, but was disputed. Fortunately, Anne had the help of the eminent lawyer Edward Hyde (b. 18 February 1608/9 d. 1674) who was married to her daughter Frances. The deaths of Frances' brothers and sisters meant that by the time of her father's death she was the heiress for her father's estate.Edward HydeEdward Hyde was Anne's son-in-law. The Registers of Westminster Abbey show that he married Frances, daughter of Sir Thomas Aylesbury and his wife Anne, at the Church of St Margaret's, Westminster (in which Parish Sir Thomas and Anne were resident), on 10 July 1634, under a Licence from the Dean and Chapter of Westminster, issued the same day. He was said to be 26 years of age having been born in the ninth year of King Charles' reign (1609), and was already a widower. He married his first wife Anne in 1629, and she died about six months later after catching smallpox. His second wife, Frances was about 21 upon her marriage.Edward Hyde had risen rapidly in his profession. When King Charles was at Oxford, he was knighted on 22 February 1642–3, and was then made Lord Chancellor and Privy Councillor at the age of 34. Upon King Charles' death, he had to flee from Puritan vengeance. He was with King Charles II in exile in Flanders, and in Bruges on 29 January 1657–58, he was again appointed Lord Chancellor in prospectu. With the restitution of the monarchy, Edward and Frances Hyde were now in high favour. For his long service to the King, and his fidelity to the Crown, Edward was created Baron Hyde of Hindon, Wiltshire in 1660. In 1661, he was raised to be Viscount Cornberry (in which year Frances died). He was later created Earl of Clarendon (1662), taking his title from the Estate and Park of Clarendon, near Salisbury.Edward and Frances had six children. Their daughter Lady Anne (1637–1671), married King James II/VII.Death and burialAnne Denman is interred in the Hyde family vault in Westminster Abbey. She seems to have secured the regard of her grandson-in-law, James, Duke of York, as Samuel Pepys notes in his Diary that, in 1661, The Duke of York was in mourning for his wife's grandmother, who (he adds) was thought of with a great deal of fondness — and which grandmother was Anne Denman, of the Old Manor House, West Retford, Notts, now the Trinity Hospital.Queen Anne portraitAnne Denman's childhood home, the Old Hall in Retford, was given by her nephew John Darrell in his will to become a hospital for old men of good repute. As the last member of the Denman-Darrell family, he carried out the wishes of his father, Edward, in this respect. The Old Hall became Trinity Hospital, on Hospital Road, Retford. It is administered by a Trust which owns considerable property around Retford. A portrait of Queen Anne in Trinity Hospital was recently attributed (1999) by the auctioneers Phillips to Sir Godfrey Kneller. John was the nephew of Anne Denman, the first cousin of Frances Hyde, and therefore a cousin twice removed of Queen Anne.== Notes ==Passage 6:Hubba bint HulailHubba bint Hulail (Arabic: \u0000\u0000\u0000 \u0000\u0000\u0000 \u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000) was the grandmother of Hashim ibn 'Abd Manaf, thus the great-great-great-grandmother of the Islamic prophet Muhammad.BiographyHubbah was the daughter of Hulail ibn Hubshiyyah ibn Salul ibn Ka’b ibn Amr al-Khuza’i of Banu Khuza'a who was the trustee and guardian of the Ka‘bah (Arabic: \u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000, 'Cube').

Later Anglo-Saxon accountsattribute this change to the widescale invasion of Germanic language tribes from northern Europe, namely the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes. Archaeological andtoponymic evidence shows that there was a great deal of syncretism, with Anglo-Saxon culture interacting and mixing with the Romano-British culture.The OldEnglish term Kent first appears in the Anglo-Saxon period, and was based on the earlier Celtic-language name Cantii. Initially applied only to the area east of theRiver Medway, by the end of the sixth century it also referred to areas to the west of it. The Kingdom of Kent was the first recorded Anglo-Saxon kingdom toappear in the historical record, and by the end of sixth century, it had become a significant political power, exercising hegemony over large parts of southern andeastern Britain. At the time, Kent had strong trade links with Francia, while the Kentish royal family married members of Francia's Merovingian dynasty, who werealready Christian. Kentish King Æthelberht was the overlord of various neighbouring kingdoms when he converted to Christianity in the early seventh century as aresult of Augustine of Canterbury and the Gregorian mission, who had been sent by Pope Gregory to replace England's pagan beliefs with Christianity. It was inthis context that the Polhill cemetery was in use.Kent has a wealth of Early Medieval funerary archaeology. The earliest excavation of Anglo-Saxon Kentish graveswas in the 17th century, when antiquarians took an increasing interest in the material remains of the period. In the ensuing centuries, antiquarian interest gaveway to more methodical archaeological investigation, and prominent archaeologists like Bryan Faussett, James Douglas, Cecil Brent, George Payne, and CharlesRoach Smith \"dominated\" archaeological research in Kent.Archaeological investigationThe existence of Sarre was not noted by any of the early antiquarians whostudied the Anglo-Saxon cemeteries of Kent. Sarre cemetery was discovered in 1843, and re-examined in 1860, when a number of artefacts were discoveredduring construction work at Sarre windmill, subsequently being purchased by the British Museum. It was excavated in 1863 by the Kent Archaeological Society, ina project directed by John Brent, who published his findings in the Archaeologia Cantiana journal. Aided by two workmen, he used a metal probe to determine thelocations of the graves.After this excavation, which was believed to have been total, the cemetery was relegated to \"the history of archaeology\", being considered“arguably the richest Anglo-Saxon burial ground yet discovered”. It was not scheduled as an Ancient Monument.In 1982, an excavation of the supposed site of St.Giles took place under the directorship of D.R.J. Perkins, revealing Anglo-Saxon graves around 50 metres away from Brent's excavated area. This led Perkins toreview the original cemetery plan, and undertake aerial photography of the site; this suggested that there were various features that Brent had not revealed, andthat the cemetery was larger than previously believed. It was decided that further excavation of the site was necessary, with the cooperation of the landowners,Church Commissioners, as well as the local farmer, Michael Baxter.In May 1991, Southern Water commenced a sewage construction near the site, and funded arescue excavation of the area from the Trust for Thanet Archaeology.See alsoList of Anglo-Saxon cemeteriesBuckland Anglo-Saxon cemeteryFingleshamAnglo-Saxon cemeteryMill Hill Anglo-Saxon cemeteryPassage 2:William Rockhill NelsonWilliam Rockhill Nelson (March 7, 1841 – April 13, 1915) was an Americanreal estate developer and co-founder of The Kansas City Star in Kansas City, Missouri. He donated his estate (and home) for the establishment of theNelson-Atkins Museum of Art.He is buried at Mt. Washington Cemetery with his wife, daughter and son-in-law.Early lifeNelson was born in Fort Wayne, Indiana.His father was publisher Isaac De Groff Nelson (1810–1891) and his mother was Elizabeth Rockhill (1816–1889), the daughter of William R. Rockhill, animportant farmer and politician in Fort Wayne, Indiana. For a short time, Isaac Nelson owned The Sentinel newspaper (which became the Fort Wayne NewsSentinel). But I.D.G. Nelson, as he was fondly known for many years in Fort Wayne, was much more renowned as a nursery owner. His own estate, \"Elm Park\",was considered \"the showplace of Allen County.\"Nelson, as a 15-year-old attended the University of Notre Dame (which accepted high school students) at thetime for two years which he described as \"Botany Bay for bad boys.\" Notre Dame was reported to have asked that he not return.He was admitted to the bar in1862 and was a campaign manager for Democratic presidential nominee Samuel J. Tilden. Tilden told him: \"While it is a great thing to lead armies, it is a greaterthing to lead the minds of men.\"Nelson attempted to run a store in Savannah, Georgia but it failed. The southern sojourn was to earn him the nickname \"TheColonel\" even though he never served in the military. William Allen White said later: \"Not that he was ever a colonel of anything...He was justcoloneliferous.\"NewspapersNelson formally took over the Sentinel with Samuel Morss in 1879. In 1880 they moved to Kansas City and started the Star. At thetime there were three daily competitors – the Evening Mail; The Kansas City Times; and the Kansas City Journal. Nelson took over sole ownership of the paperwithin a few months.Nelson's business strategy called for cheap advance subscriptions and an intention to be \"absolutely independent in politics, aiming to dealby all men and all parties with impartiality and fearlessness.\"He purchased the Kansas City Evening Mail and its Associated Press franchise in 1882 and started theWeekly Kansas City Star in 1890 and the Sunday Kansas City Star in 1894. Nelson bought the Times in 1901, putting The Morning Kansas City Star on it.Nelsonhad portraits of Tilden, Grover Cleveland, and Theodore Roosevelt in his office. Roosevelt stayed with Nelson at Oak Hall.In one encounter, Kansas City MayorJoseph J. Davenport was thrown down a stairwell at the Star building by editors (including William Allen White) when he was believed to have physicallythreatened Nelson. Nelson said afterwards, \"The Star never loses!\"Other interestsIn addition to his newspaper duties, Nelson developed an area of farmland southof downtown Kansas City into a neighborhood of more than 100 houses, including his own mansion called Oak Hall. The area, which became known as the RockhillDistrict, was noted for its use of limestone in both the houses and in stone walls that stood beside the streets Nelson also acquired more than 2,400 acres (9.7km2) in what is presently Grain Valley, Missouri, for the establishment of Sni A Bar Farm. The farm's mission was the development of improved breedingmethods and livestock. It served as one of the world's leaders in animal health for more than 30 years.He campaigned for Kansas City's George Kessler-designedpark and boulevard system and the 1900 “Kansas City Spirit” to build Convention Hall in 90 days in order to host the 1900 Democratic National Convention afterthe original (and new) convention hall had burned in April 1900.LegacyNelson provided in his will that following the death of his wife and daughter his Oak Hillmansion be torn down and its 30-acre (120,000 m2) estate turned into an art museum. Proceeds from his $6 million estate were used to build the Nelson-AtkinsMuseum of Art in Kansas City. Nelson's will also established a trust for Sni A Bar Farm, with Presidents from the University of Missouri, the University of Kansas,and the University of Oklahoma charged with selecting its trustees.The Art Gallery originally contained a recreation of Nelson's oak paneled room from Oak Hall(and namesake of the estate). The room contained Nelson's red plush easy chair and bookcases. The room was dismantled in 1988 to make way for aphotography studio.

He was one of the most powerful figures in the Nazi Party, which ruled Germany from 1933to 1945.A veteran World War I fighter pilot ace, Göring was a recipient of the Pour le Mérite (\"The Blue Max\"). He was the last commander of Jagdgeschwader 1(JG I), the fighter wing once led by Manfred von Richthofen. An early member of the Nazi Party, Göring was among those wounded in Adolf Hitler's failed BeerHall Putsch in 1923. While receiving treatment for his injuries, he developed an addiction to morphine which persisted until the last year of his life. After Hitlerbecame Chancellor of Germany in 1933, Göring was named as minister without portfolio in the new government. One of his first acts as a cabinet minister was tooversee the creation of the Gestapo, which he ceded to Heinrich Himmler in 1934.Following the establishment of the Nazi state, Göring amassed power andpolitical capital to become the second most powerful man in Germany. He was appointed commander-in-chief of the Luftwaffe (air force), a position he held untilthe final days of the regime. Upon being named Plenipotentiary of the Four Year Plan in 1936, Göring was entrusted with the task of mobilizing all sectors of theeconomy for war, an assignment which brought numerous government agencies under his control. In September 1939, Hitler designated him as his successor anddeputy in all his offices. After the Fall of France in 1940, he was bestowed the specially created rank of Reichsmarschall, which gave him seniority over all officersin Germany's armed forces.By 1941, Göring was at the peak of his power and influence. As the Second World War progressed, Göring's standing with Hitler andwith the German public declined after the Luftwaffe proved incapable of preventing the Allied bombing of Germany's cities and resupplying surrounded Axis forcesin Stalingrad. Around that time, Göring increasingly withdrew from military and political affairs to devote his attention to collecting property and artwork, much ofwhich was stolen from Jewish victims of the Holocaust. Informed on 22 April 1945 that Hitler intended to commit suicide, Göring sent a telegram to Hitlerrequesting his permission to assume leadership of the Reich. Considering his request an act of treason, Hitler removed Göring from all his positions, expelled himfrom the party, and ordered his arrest. After the war, Göring was convicted of conspiracy, crimes against peace, war crimes, and crimes against humanity at theNuremberg trials in 1946. He was sentenced to death by hanging but committed suicide by ingesting cyanide hours before the sentence was to be carriedout.Early life and educationGöring was born on 12 January 1893 at the Marienbad Sanatorium in Rosenheim, Bavaria. His father, Heinrich Ernst Göring (31October 1839 – 7 December 1913), a former cavalry officer, had been the first governor-general of German South West Africa (modern-day Namibia). Heinrichhad three children from a previous marriage. Göring was the fourth of five children by Heinrich's second wife, Franziska Tiefenbrunn (1859–15 July 1943), aBavarian peasant. Göring's elder siblings were Karl, Olga, and Paula; his younger brother was Albert. At the time that Göring was born, his father was serving asconsul general in Haiti, and his mother had returned home briefly to give birth. She left the six-week-old baby with a friend in Bavaria and did not see the childagain for three years, when she and Heinrich returned to Germany.Göring's godfather was Hermann Epenstein, a wealthy Jewish physician and businessman hisfather had met in Africa. Epenstein provided the Göring family, who were surviving on Heinrich's pension, first with a family home in Berlin-Friedenau, and then asmall castle called Veldenstein, near Nuremberg. Göring's mother became Epenstein's mistress around this time, and remained so for some fifteen years.Epenstein acquired the minor title of Ritter (knight) von Epenstein through service and donations to the Crown.Interested in a career as a soldier from a veryearly age, Göring enjoyed playing with toy soldiers and dressing up in a Boer uniform his father had given him. He was sent to boarding school at age eleven,where the food was poor and discipline was harsh. He sold a violin to pay for his train ticket home, and then took to his bed, feigning illness, until he was told hewould not have to return. He continued to enjoy war games, pretending to lay siege to the castle Veldenstein and studying Teutonic legends and sagas. Hebecame a mountain climber, scaling peaks in Germany, at the Mont Blanc massif, and in the Austrian Alps. At age 16, he was sent to a military academy at BerlinLichterfelde, from which he graduated with distinction.Göring joined the Prince Wilhelm Regiment (112th Infantry, Garrison: Mülhausen) of the Prussian Army in1912. The next year his mother had a falling-out with Epenstein. The family was forced to leave Veldenstein and moved to Munich; Göring's father died shortlyafterwards. It was in Bavaria where Göring developed his \"romantic sense of Germanness\" that further evolved under National Socialism. When World War Ibegan in August 1914, Göring was stationed at Mülhausen with his regiment.World War IDuring the first year of World War I, Göring served with his infantryregiment in the area of Mülhausen, a garrison town less than 2 km from the French frontier. He was hospitalized with rheumatism, a result of the damp of trenchwarfare. While he was recovering, his friend Bruno Loerzer convinced him to transfer to what would become, by October 1916, the Luftstreitkräfte (transl. aircombat forces) of the German army, but his request was turned down. Later that year, Göring flew as Loerzer's observer in Feldflieger Abteilung 25 (FFA 25);Göring had informally transferred himself. He was discovered and sentenced to three weeks' confinement to barracks, but the sentence was never carried out. Bythe time it was supposed to be imposed, Göring's association with Loerzer had been made official. They were assigned as a team to FFA 25 in the Crown Prince'sFifth Army. They flew reconnaissance and bombing missions, for which the Crown Prince invested both Göring and Loerzer with the Iron Cross, first class.Aftercompleting the pilot's training course, Göring was assigned to Jagdstaffel 5. Seriously wounded in the hip in aerial combat, he took nearly a year to recover. Hethen was transferred to Jagdstaffel 26, commanded by Loerzer, in February 1917. He steadily scored air victories until May, when he was assigned to commandJagdstaffel 27. Serving with Jastas 5, 26 and 27, he continued to win victories. In addition to his Iron Crosses (1st and 2nd Class), he received the Zähringer Lionwith swords, the Friedrich Order, the House Order of Hohenzollern with swords third class, and finally, in May 1918, the coveted Pour le Mérite. According toHermann Dahlmann, who knew both men, Göring had Loerzer lobby for the award. He finished the war with 22 victories. A thorough post-war examination ofAllied loss records showed that only two of his awarded victories were doubtful. Three were possible and 17 were certain, or highly likely.On 7 July 1918, followingthe death of Wilhelm Reinhard, successor to Manfred von Richthofen, Göring was made commander of the \"Flying Circus\", Jagdgeschwader 1. His arrogance madehim unpopular with the men of his squadron.In the last days of the war, Göring was repeatedly ordered to withdraw his squadron, first to Tellancourt airdrome,then to Darmstadt. At one point, he was ordered to surrender the aircraft to the Allies; he refused. Many of his pilots intentionally crash-landed their planes tokeep them from falling into enemy hands.Like many other German veterans, Göring was a proponent of the stab-in-the-back myth, the belief which held that theGerman Army had not really lost the war, but instead was betrayed by the civilian leadership: Marxists, Jews, and especially the republicans, who had overthrownthe German monarchy. Atop the frustration of military defeat, Göring also experienced the personal disappointment of being snubbed by his fiancée's upper-classfamily, who broke off the engagement when he returned penniless from the front.After World War IGöring remained in aviation after the war. He triedbarnstorming and briefly worked at Fokker. After spending most of 1919 living in Denmark, he moved to Sweden and joined Svensk Lufttrafik, a Swedish airline.Göring was often hired for private flights. During the winter of 1920–1921, he was hired by Count Eric von Rosen to fly him to his castle from Stockholm. Invitedto spend the night, Göring may at this time have first seen the swastika emblem, which Rosen had set in the chimney piece as a family badge.This was also thefirst time that Göring saw his future wife; the count introduced his sister-in-law, Baroness Carin von Kantzow (née Freiin von Fock). Estranged from her husbandof 10 years, she had an eight-year-old son. Göring was immediately infatuated and asked her to meet him in Stockholm. They arranged a visit at the home of herparents and spent much time together through 1921, when Göring left to study political science at the University of Munich. Carin obtained a divorce, followedGöring to Munich, and married him on 3 February 1922. Their first home together was a hunting lodge at Hochkreuth in the Bavarian Alps, near Bayrischzell,some 80 kilometres (50 mi) from Munich. After Göring met Adolf Hitler and joined the Nazi Party in 1922, they moved to Obermenzing, a suburb of Munich.EarlyNazi careerGöring joined the Nazi Party in 1922 after hearing a speech by Hitler. He was given command of the Sturmabteilung (SA) as the Oberster SA-Führer in1923. He was later appointed an SA-Gruppenführer (Lieutenant general) and held this rank on the SA rolls until 1945. At this time, Carin—who liked Hitler—oftenplayed hostess to meetings of leading Nazis, including her husband, Hitler, Rudolf Hess, Alfred Rosenberg, and Ernst Röhm. Hitler later recalled his earlyassociation with Göring:I liked him. I made him the head of my SA. He is the only one of its heads that ran the SA properly. I gave him a dishevelled rabble. In avery short time he had organised a division of 11,000 men.Hitler and the Nazi Party held mass meetings and rallies in Munich and elsewhere during the early1920s, attempting to gain supporters in a bid for political power. Inspired by Benito Mussolini's March on Rome, the Nazis attempted to seize power on 8–9November 1923 in a failed coup known as the Beer Hall Putsch. Göring, who was with Hitler leading the march to the War Ministry, was shot in the groin.Fourteen Nazis and four policemen were killed; many top Nazis, including Hitler, were arrested. With Carin's help, Göring was smuggled to Innsbruck, where hereceived surgery and was given morphine for the pain. He remained in hospital until 24 December. This was the beginning of his morphine addiction, which lasteduntil his imprisonment at Nuremberg. Meanwhile, the authorities in Munich declared Göring a wanted man. The Görings—acutely short of funds and reliant on thegood will of Nazi sympathizers abroad—moved from Austria to Venice. In May 1924 they visited Rome, via Florence and Siena.

This marriage remained childless.== Ancestors ==Passage 2:Charles William Ferdinand, Duke of BrunswickCharles William Ferdinand (German: Karl Wilhelm Ferdinand; 9 October 1735 – 10 November 1806) was the Prince of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel and Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg and a military leader. His titles are usually shortened to Duke of Brunswick in English-language sources.He succeeded his father as sovereign prince of the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, one of the princely states of the Holy Roman Empire. The duke was a cultured and benevolent despot in the model of his uncle, Frederick the Great, and was married to Princess Augusta, the eldest sister of George III of Great Britain. He was also a recognized master of 18th century warfare, serving as a Field Marshal in the Prussian Army. During the Napoleonic Wars, he was mortally wounded by a musket ball at the Battle of Jena–Auerstedt in 1806.Early lifeCharles William Ferdinand was born in the town of Wolfenbüttel on 9 October 1735, probably in Wolfenbüttel Castle. He was the first-born son of Charles I, Duke of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel and his wife Philippine Charlotte.His father Charles I was the ruling prince (German: Fürst) of the small state of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, one of the imperial states of the Holy Roman Empire. Philippine Charlotte was the favourite daughter of King Frederick William I of Prussia and sister of Frederick II of Prussia (Frederick the Great). As the heir apparent of a sovereign prince, Charles William Ferdinand received the title of Hereditary Prince (German: Erbprinz).He received an unusually wide and thorough education, overseen by his mother. In his youth he travelled in the Netherlands, France and various parts of Germany. In 1753, his father moved the capital of the principality back to Brunswick (German: Braunschweig), the state's largest city. (Wolfenbüttel had been the capital since 1432.) The royal family moved into the newly built Brunswick Palace.Early military careerCharles William Ferdinand entered the military, serving during the Seven Years' War of 1756–63. He joined the allied north-German forces of the Hanoverian Army of Observation, whose task was to protect Hanover (in personal union with the Kingdom of Great Britain) and the surrounding states from invasion by the French. The force was initially commanded by the Anglo-Hanoverian Prince William, Duke of Cumberland. At the Battle of Hastenbeck (1757) Charles William Ferdinand led a charge at the head of an infantry brigade, an action which gained him some renown.The subsequent French Invasion of Hanover and Convention of Klosterzeven of 1757 temporarily knocked Hanover out of the war (they were to return the following year). Cumberland was recalled to Britain and the remaining allied north-German forces were placed under the command of Ferdinand of Brunswick, brother of Charles I, who easily persuaded his nephew Charles William Ferdinand to renew his military service as a general officer.Charles William Ferdinand was part of the allied Anglo-German force at the Battle of Minden (1759), and the Battle of Warburg (1760). Both were decisive victories over the French, during which he proved himself an excellent subordinate commander. He continued to serve in the army commanded by his uncle for the remainder of the war, which was generally successful for the north German forces. The hereditary prince's reputation improved throughout, and he became an acknowledged master of irregular warfare. Peace was restored in 1763.Marriage and travelsThe royal houses of the former Duchy of Brunswick-Lüneburg had traditionally married within the family, to avoid further division of their family lands under Salic law. By the time, Brunswick-Lüneburg had consolidated back into two states, Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel and the Electorate of Brunswick-Lüneburg (Hanover). The electorate was ruled by the Hanoverian branch of the family in personal union with the Kingdom of Great Britain. It was therefore arranged for Charles William Ferdinand to marry a British-Hanoverian princess: Princess Augusta of Great Britain, daughter of Frederick, Prince of Wales and his wife, Princess Augusta of Saxe-Gotha, and sister of the reigning King George III.In 1764, shortly after the Seven Years' War had ended, he travelled to London (landing at Harwich) to marry Princess Augusta. He received a rapturous welcome from the British people, thanks to his service with allied British troops during the war. The Parliament of Great Britain showed its gratitude by voting him a lump sum of £80,000 and an annual income of £3,000 as a wedding gift. However George III was less welcoming, and sought to express his displeasure through numerous small insults e.g. by lodging the prince at Somerset House, instead of one of the royal palaces; not providing him with a military guard; and instructing the servants at the wedding to wear old clothes. This merely served to exacerbate the enthusiasm of the public, particularly when the prince was suspected of turning his back on the unpopular monarch whilst attending an opera (a breach of social protocol). Charles William Ferdinand defied royal displeasure by meeting William Pitt the Elder (who had been prime minister during the war but resigned in 1761) and the other leaders of the parliamentary opposition. The wedding was completed, but as a result of these machinations the prince remained in Britain for only thirteen days.Over the next few years the couple embarked on a wide-ranging tour of Europe, visiting many of the major states. In 1766 they went to France, where they were received by both his allies and recent battlefield enemies with respect. In Paris he made the acquaintance of Marmontel. The couple next proceeded to Switzerland, where they met Voltaire. The longest stop on their travels was Rome, where they remained for a long time exploring the antiquities of the city under the guidance of Johann Winckelmann. During their travels the couple also met Pietro Nardini and in 1767 the prince had his portrait painted by Pompeo Batoni. After a visit to Naples they returned to Paris, and thence to Brunswick.Ruler of Brunswick-WolfenbüttelRestoration of state financesHis father, Charles I, had been an enthusiastic supporter of the war, but nearly bankrupted the state paying for it. As a result, in 1773 Charles William Ferdinand was given a major role in reforming the economy with the assistance of the Geheimrat, Féronce von Rotenkreuz. They were highly successful, restoring the state's finances and improving the economy. This made the prince hugely popular in the duchy.When the American Revolutionary War broke out in 1775, Charles William Ferdinand saw an opportunity to replenish the state's treasury by renting its well-trained army to Great Britain. In 1776, Charles I signed a treaty supporting Britain in the war, the first prince to do so. Under the terms of this treaty, Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel supplied 4,000 troops for service with the British armies in America, under the command of general Friedrich Adolf Riedesel. Riedesel was given command of all the German troops serving in the Saratoga campaign, under British general John Burgoyne. Burgoyne was defeated in the Battles of Saratoga (1777), and his troops were taken captive as the Convention Army. Although the terms of surrender allowed the Convention Army to give their parole and return to Europe, the American Continental Congress revoked the convention. The Convention Army was kept in captivity until the war ended in 1783.ReignCharles I died in 1780, at which point Charles William Ferdinand inherited the throne. He soon became known as a model sovereign, a typical enlightened despot of the period, characterized by economy and prudence.The duke's combination of interest in the well-being of his subjects and habitual caution led to a policy of gradual reforms, a successful middle way between the conservatism of some contemporary monarchs and the over-enthusiastic wholesale changes pursued by others. He sponsored enlightenment arts and sciences; most notably he was patron to the young mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss, paying for him to attend university against the wishes of Gauss' father.He resembled his uncle Frederick the Great in many ways, but he lacked the resolution of the king, and in civil as in military affairs was prone to excessive caution. He brought Brunswick into close alliance with the king of Prussia, for whom he had fought in the Seven Years' War; he was a Prussian field marshal, and was at pains to make the regiment of which he was colonel a model one.The duke was frequently engaged in diplomatic and other state affairs. In August 1784 he hosted a secret diplomatic visit from Karl August, Duke of Saxe-Weimar and Saxe-Eisenach (Goethe was a member of Karl August's entourage). The visit was disguised as a family visit, but was in fact to discuss the formation of a league of small- and mid-sized German states as a counterbalance within the Holy Roman Empire to Habsburg monarchy's ambitions to trade the Austrian Netherlands for the Electorate of Bavaria. This Fürstenbund (League of Princes) was formally announced in 1785, with the Duke of Brunswick as one of its members and commander of its military forces. The league was successful in forcing the Austrian Joseph II to back down, and thereafter became obsolete.The Swedish princess and diarist Hedwig Elizabeth Charlotte visited Brunswick in 1799; she described the Duke as \"witty, literal and a pleasant acquaintance but ceremonial beyond description. He is said to be quite strict, but a good father of the nation who attends to the needs of his people.\"In 1803 the process of German Mediatisation led to the acquisition of the neighbouring imperial abbeys of Gandersheim and Helmstedt, which were secularised.Military commanderHe was made a Prussian general in 1773.War of the Bavarian SuccessionFrom 1778 to 1779 he served in the War of the Bavarian Succession. Frederick II praised the prince personally for his conduct during the war.Invasion of the NetherlandsIn 1787 the Duke was made Generalfeldmarschall (field marshal) in the Prussian army. Frederick William II of Prussia appointed him as commander of a 20,000-strong Prussian force which was to invade the United Provinces of the Netherlands (The Dutch Republic). The goal was to suppress the Patriots of the Batavian Revolution, restoring the authority of the stadtholder William V of the House of Orange. Much of the country was in open revolt against William, whose personal troops were unable to quell the Patriot militias and the various Dutch provinces refused to aid him.The Encyclopædia Britannica described "} +{"doc_id":"doc_196","qid":"","text":"Passage 1:Peter LevinPeter Levin is an American director of film, television and theatre.CareerSince 1967, Levin has amassed a large number of credits directingepisodic television and television films.

A founder of a new genre of Neapolitan comedy, he was the composer of the opera buffa La Cilla in 1706.Passage 2:Walter Robinson (composer)WalterRobinson is an American composer of the late 20th century. He is most notable for his 1977 song Harriet Tubman, which has been recorded by folk musicianssuch as Holly Near, John McCutcheon, and others. He is also the composer of several operas.Passage 3:Nocturne (Britten)Nocturne, Op. 60, is a song cycle byBenjamin Britten, written for tenor, seven obbligato instruments and strings. The seven instruments are flute, cor anglais, clarinet, bassoon, harp, French hornand timpani.Nocturne was Britten's fourth and final orchestral song cycle, after Our Hunting Fathers (Op. 8, 1936), Les Illuminations (Op. 18, 1939) andSerenade for Tenor, Horn and Strings (Op. 31, 1943). It was dedicated to Alma Mahler.Nocturne was premiered in the Leeds Town Hall at the centenary LeedsFestival on 16 October 1958 by Peter Pears and the BBC Symphony Orchestra conducted by Rudolf Schwarz. Britten conducted a recording at WalthamstowAssembly Hall in 1960 with Pears, the London Symphony Orchestra and William Waterhouse (bassoon), Alexander Murray (flute), Gervase de Peyer (clarinet),Roger Lord (cor anglais), Osian Ellis (harp), Barry Tuckwell (horn), and Denis Blyth (timpani).The theme of the piece, as its name Nocturne suggests, is sleep anddarkness, both in the literal and figurative sense. In this respect, the work is reminiscent of Britten's earlier Serenade. Unlike Serenade, Nocturne is presented asa continuous piece rather than separate movements. This is emphasised by a number of figures which occur throughout, most notably the 'rocking' string motifwhich opens the work. The conflicting tonal relationship between C and D-flat is also evident throughout, reflecting the contrast between the untroubled and themore perturbed aspects of sleep which are also described by Britten's choice of poems.StructureThe piece sets eight sections of poetry to music, eachaccompanied by strings and (with the exception of the first) by an obbligato instrument:Shelley – \"On a Poet’s Lips I Slept\" from Prometheus UnboundTennyson –\"The Kraken\", with bassoonColeridge – \"Encinctured with a twine of leaves\" from The Wanderings of Cain, with harpMiddleton – \"Midnight Bell\" from Blurt, MasterConstable, with French hornWordsworth – \"But that night when on my bed I lay\" from The Prelude (1805), with timpaniOwen – \"The Kind Ghosts\", with coranglaisKeats – \"Sleep and Poetry\", with flute and clarinetShakespeare – Sonnet XLIII, with all the obbligato instrumentsNotesExternal linksWork details, Boosey &HawkesPassage 4:Tarcisio FuscoTarcisio Fusco was an Italian composer of film scores.

He was a central figure of 20th-century British music, with a range of works includingopera, other vocal music, orchestral and chamber pieces. His best-known works include the opera Peter Grimes (1945), the War Requiem (1962) and theorchestral showpiece The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra (1945).Born in Lowestoft, Suffolk, the son of a dentist, Britten showed talent from an early age.He studied at the Royal College of Music in London and privately with the composer Frank Bridge. Britten first came to public attention with the a cappella choralwork A Boy was Born in 1934. With the premiere of Peter Grimes in 1945, he leapt to international fame. Over the next 28 years, he wrote 14 more operas,establishing himself as one of the leading 20th-century composers in the genre. In addition to large-scale operas for Sadler's Wells and Covent Garden, he wrotechamber operas for small forces, suitable for performance in venues of modest size. Among the best known of these is The Turn of the Screw (1954). Recurringthemes in his operas include the struggle of an outsider against a hostile society and the corruption of innocence.Britten's other works range from orchestral tochoral, solo vocal, chamber and instrumental as well as film music. He took a great interest in writing music for children and amateur performers, including theopera Noye's Fludde, a Missa Brevis, and the song collection Friday Afternoons. He often composed with particular performers in mind. His most frequent andimportant muse was his personal and professional partner, the tenor Peter Pears; others included Kathleen Ferrier, Jennifer Vyvyan, Janet Baker, Dennis Brain,Julian Bream, Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, Osian Ellis and Mstislav Rostropovich. Britten was a celebrated pianist and conductor, performing many of his own worksin concert and on record. He also performed and recorded works by others, such as Bach's Brandenburg Concertos, Mozart symphonies, and song cycles bySchubert and Schumann.Together with Pears and the librettist and producer Eric Crozier, Britten founded the annual Aldeburgh Festival in 1948, and he wasresponsible for the creation of Snape Maltings concert hall in 1967. In his last year, he was the first composer to be given a life peerage.Early yearsBritten wasborn in the fishing port of Lowestoft in Suffolk, on the east coast of England on 22 November 1913, the feast day of Saint Cecilia. He was the youngest of fourchildren of Robert Victor Britten (1877–1934) and his wife Edith Rhoda, née Hockey (1874–1937). Robert Britten's youthful ambition to become a farmer hadbeen thwarted by lack of capital, and he had instead trained as a dentist, a profession he practised successfully but without pleasure. While studying at CharingCross Hospital in London he met Edith Hockey, the daughter of a civil service clerk in the British Government's Home Office. They were married in September1901 at St John's, Smith Square, London.The consensus among biographers of Britten is that his father was a loving but somewhat stern and remote parent.Britten, according to his sister Beth, \"got on well with him and shared his wry sense of humour, dedication to work and capacity for taking pains.\" Edith Brittenwas a talented amateur musician and secretary of the Lowestoft Musical Society. In the English provinces of the early 20th century, distinctions of social classwere taken very seriously. Britten described his family as \"very ordinary middle class\", but there were aspects of the Brittens that were not ordinary: Edith'sfather was illegitimate, and her mother was an alcoholic; Robert Britten was an agnostic and refused to attend church on Sundays. Music was the principal meansby which Edith Britten strove to maintain the family's social standing, inviting the pillars of the local community to musical soirées at the house.When Britten wasthree months old he contracted pneumonia and nearly died. The illness left him with a damaged heart, and doctors warned his parents that he would probablynever be able to lead a normal life. He recovered more fully than expected, and as a boy was a keen tennis player and cricketer. To his mother's great delight hewas an outstandingly musical child, unlike his sisters, who inherited their father's indifference to music, while his brother, though musically talented, wasinterested only in ragtime. Edith gave the young Britten his first lessons in piano and notation. He made his first attempts at composition when he was five. Hestarted piano lessons when he was seven years old, and three years later began to play the viola. He was one of the last composers brought up on exclusively livemusic: his father refused to have a gramophone or, later, a radio in the house.EducationLowestoftWhen he was seven Britten was sent to a dame school, run bythe Misses Astle. The younger sister, Ethel, gave him piano lessons; in later life he said that he remained grateful for the excellence of her teaching. The followingyear he moved on to a prep school, South Lodge, Lowestoft, as a day boy. The headmaster, Thomas Sewell, was an old-fashioned disciplinarian; the youngBritten was outraged at the severe corporal punishments frequently handed out, and later he said that his lifelong pacifism probably had its roots in his reactionto the regime at the school. He himself rarely fell foul of Sewell, a mathematician, in which subject Britten was a star pupil. The school had no musical tradition,and Britten continued to study the piano with Ethel Astle. From the age of ten he took viola lessons from a friend of his mother, Audrey Alston, who had been aprofessional player before her marriage. In his spare time he composed prolifically. When his Simple Symphony, based on these juvenilia, was recorded in 1956,Britten wrote this pen-portrait of his young self for the sleeve note:Once upon a time there was a prep-school boy. ... He was quite an ordinary little boy ... heloved cricket, only quite liked football (although he kicked a pretty \"corner\"); he adored mathematics, got on all right with history, was scared by Latin Unseen;he behaved fairly well, only ragged the recognised amount, so that his contacts with the cane or the slipper were happily rare (although one nocturnal expeditionto stalk ghosts left its marks behind); he worked his way up the school slowly and steadily, until at the age of thirteen he reached that pinnacle of importance andgrandeur, never to be quite equalled in later days: the head of the Sixth, head-prefect, and Victor Ludorum. But – there was one curious thing about this boy: hewrote music. His friends bore with it, his enemies kicked a bit but not for long (he was quite tough), the staff couldn't object if his work and games didn't suffer.He wrote lots of it, reams and reams of it.Audrey Alston encouraged Britten to go to symphony concerts in Norwich. At one of these, during the triennial Norfolkand Norwich Festival in October 1924, he heard Frank Bridge's orchestral poem The Sea, conducted by the composer. It was the first substantial piece of modernmusic he had ever encountered, and he was, in his own phrase, \"knocked sideways\" by it. Audrey Alston was a friend of Bridge; when he returned to Norwich forthe next festival in 1927 she brought her not quite 14-year-old pupil to meet him. Bridge was impressed with the boy, and after they had gone through some ofBritten's compositions together he invited him to come to London to take lessons from him. Robert Britten, supported by Thomas Sewell, doubted the wisdom ofpursuing a composing career; a compromise was agreed by which Britten would, as planned, go on to his public school the following year but would make regularday-trips to London to study composition with Bridge and piano with his colleague Harold Samuel.Bridge impressed on Britten the importance of scrupulousattention to the technical craft of composing and the maxim that \"you should find yourself and be true to what you found.\" The earliest substantial works Brittencomposed while studying with Bridge are the String Quartet in F, completed in April 1928, and the Quatre Chansons Françaises, a song-cycle for high voice and"} +{"doc_id":"doc_198","qid":"","text":"Passage 1:Bernard HoursBernard Hours, born on 5 May 1956 in Strasbourg, is a French businessman.

Originally released as the B-side of his first single, \"Maybellene\", it went on to become a hit, reaching number 10 in the Billboard R&Bchart.The song is a twelve-bar blues, described as \"a slow, sensuous blues featuring some exceptional piano from Johnnie Johnson\".\"Wee Wee Hours\" was on theaudition tape submitted by Berry to Leonard Chess in hope of landing a recording contract with Chess Records. Although it seemed like a good fit with the recordcompany's blues roster, Chess was more interested in the song that became \"Maybellene\", the song that launched Berry's career as a rock and roll star.Berryoften performed the song live. It is included on the 1969 album Chuck Berry Live in Concert, and in the 1987 film Hail! Hail! Rock 'n' Roll.Passage 3:BillyMilanoBilly Milano (born June 3, 1964) is an American heavy metal and hardcore punk musician.

It tells a story of two star-crossed lovers. The singer falls in lovewith a person who belongs to an opposing gang. At the end of the song, the singer's lover jumps in to defend the singer, who is confronting his lover's brother(the singer's \"sworn enemy\") and is killed by the bullet intended for the singer.Track listingThe 7\" single sold in the UK was mispressed, with \"Culling of the Fold\"as the B-side despite the artwork and record label listing \"After the Bombs\" as the B-side.Music videosFor the \"O Valencia!\" music video, The Decemberists filmedthemselves in front of a green screen and asked fans to complete it by digitally adding in background images or footage. Stephen Colbert of The Colbert Report,having recently asked fans to do the same with a video of him with a light saber in front of a green screen, brought up The Decemberists on his segment \"LookWho's Riding on My Coattails Now\" and accused the band of stealing the idea. The Decemberists' response was to challenge Stephen Colbert to a guitar soloshowdown on December 20, 2006, on The Colbert Report.On January 19, 2007, The Decemberists premiered an alternate music video of \"O Valencia!\", directedby Aaron Stewart-Ahn, on MTV2. The video follows a character named Patrick, played by Meloy, as he and his love Francesca (Lisa Molinaro), daughter of \"theBoss\", plan an escape to an unknown location. At a cafe, a man in a suit, portrayed by the band member Chris Funk, tells him to hide in the \"Valencia\" hotel (theSuper Value Inn on North Interstate Avenue in Portland, Oregon) while he gets them the necessary documentation to escape. Above the name of the hotel, thereis a neon sign that reads \"Office\". The letters have all burnt out except for the \"O\", creating the title of the song. The video then introduces other characters -various assassination teams - who sit in different rooms of the hotel waiting for the chance to catch the two lovers. Most are portrayed by other members of theband (along with Meloy's wife, Carson Ellis). They kill off any potential witnesses to their plan. Patrick manages to take down one member from each team, beforethey gang up on him. The Boss arrives, along with the man from the cafe, who reveals that he snitched on Patrick and Francesca. They execute Francesca, whileforcing Patrick to watch. After they leave, Patrick finds a note by Francesca, which reveals that she never fell in love with him, and only wanted protection. 2months later, Patrick and the man, who has lost an eye from a previous assassination attempt, have a sit-down at the same cafe. The man reveals that hesnitched on Patrick just to take over the town. Patrick reveals that he poisoned a drink the man was having, but before he could get away, the man stabs Patrickin the neck with a fork before dying, followed by Patrick.The video is somewhat influenced by the distinct style and themes of director Wes Anderson, with boldfonts being used to introduce characters and groups on the bottom of the screen (much like in the film The Royal Tenenbaums). The band had previously (andmore explicitly) drawn influence from Anderson's Rushmore in their video for \"Sixteen Military Wives\". The layout of the hotel is also similar to the one used inBottle Rocket.Kurt Nishimura was chosen as the winner by mtvU for his video that depicted a love affair between a woman and her television, with the TVcontaining the green-screened Decemberists video footage.Passage 5:Chuck BerryCharles Edward Anderson Berry (October 18, 1926 – March 18, 2017) was anAmerican singer, guitarist and songwriter who pioneered rock and roll. Nicknamed the \"Father of Rock and Roll\", he refined and developed rhythm and blues intothe major elements that made rock and roll distinctive with songs such as \"Maybellene\" (1955), \"Roll Over Beethoven\" (1956), \"Rock and Roll Music\" (1957) and\"Johnny B. Goode\" (1958). Writing lyrics that focused on teen life and consumerism, and developing a music style that included guitar solos and showmanship,Berry was a major influence on subsequent rock music.Born into a middle-class black family in St. Louis, Berry had an interest in music from an early age andgave his first public performance at Sumner High School. While still a high school student, he was convicted of armed robbery and was sent to a reformatory,where he was held from 1944 to 1947. After his release, Berry settled into married life and worked at an automobile assembly plant. By early 1953, influenced bythe guitar riffs and showmanship techniques of the blues musician T-Bone Walker, Berry began performing with the Johnnie Johnson Trio. His break came whenhe traveled to Chicago in May 1955 and met Muddy Waters, who suggested he contact Leonard Chess, of Chess Records. With Chess, he recorded\"Maybellene\"—Berry's adaptation of the country song \"Ida Red\"—which sold over a million copies, reaching number one on Billboard magazine's rhythm and blueschart.By the end of the 1950s, Berry was an established star, with several hit records and film appearances and a lucrative touring career. He had alsoestablished his own St. Louis nightclub, Berry's Club Bandstand. He was sentenced to three years in prison in January 1962 for offenses under the Mann Act—hehad transported a 14-year-old girl across state lines for the purpose of having sexual intercourse. After his release in 1963, Berry had several more successfulsongs, including \"No Particular Place to Go\", \"You Never Can Tell\", and \"Nadine\". However, these did not achieve the same success or lasting impact of his 1950ssongs, and by the 1970s he was more in demand as a nostalgia performer, playing his past material with local backup bands of variable quality. In 1972 hereached a new level of achievement when a rendition of \"My Ding-a-Ling\" became his only record to top the charts. His insistence on being paid in cash led in1979 to a four-month jail sentence and community service, for tax evasion.Berry was among the first musicians to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fameon its opening in 1986; he was cited for having \"laid the groundwork for not only a rock and roll sound but a rock and roll stance.\" Berry is included in several ofRolling Stone magazine's \"greatest of all time\" lists; he was ranked fifth on its 2004 and 2011 lists of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time. The Rock and Roll Hallof Fame's 500 Songs That Shaped Rock and Roll includes three of Berry's: \"Johnny B. Goode\", \"Maybellene\", and \"Rock and Roll Music\". \"Johnny B. Goode\" is theonly rock-and-roll song included on the Voyager Golden Record.Early lifeBorn in St. Louis, Berry was the youngest child. He grew up in the north St. Louisneighborhood known as the Ville, an area where many middle-class people lived. His father, Henry William Berry (1895–1987) was a contractor and deacon of anearby Baptist church; his mother, Martha Bell (Banks) (1894–1980) was a certified public school principal. Berry's upbringing allowed him to pursue his interestin music from an early age. He gave his first public performance in 1941 while still a student at Sumner High School; he was still a student there in 1944, when hewas arrested for armed robbery after robbing three shops in Kansas City, Missouri, and then stealing a car at gunpoint with some friends. Berry's account in hisautobiography is that his car broke down and he flagged down a passing car and stole it at gunpoint with a nonfunctional pistol. He was convicted and sent to theIntermediate Reformatory for Young Men at Algoa, near Jefferson City, Missouri, where he formed a singing quartet and did some boxing. The singing groupbecame competent enough that the authorities allowed it to perform outside the detention facility. Berry was released from the reformatory on his 21st birthday"} +{"doc_id":"doc_199","qid":"","text":"Passage 1:Ben CuraBen Cura is an Argentine-born British actor, musician and director of film, television and theatre.Early lifeJosé Ben Cura was born in BuenosAires, the son of Argentine tenor/conductor José Cura.

The song remained a constant area of success only in the Netherlands, the single reached 77 on the (Single Top 100). It did not chart in the United Kingdom. \"If You Want My Love\" was postponed a couple of times, because \"We Are the World\" did successfully well in many other countries, like Spain where it went top 10.ChartsPassage 4:I Want You to Be My Baby\"I Want You to Be My Baby\" is a jump blues song written by Jon Hendricks for Louis Jordan whose recording, made on May 28, 1953, was released that autumn.In the summer of 1955 \"I Want You to Be My Baby\" was remade as the debut disc by comedy musical act Lillian Briggs, resulting in an expedient cover version by veteran vocalist Georgia Gibbs. Producers Hugo & Luigi had Gibbs fly in from her Massachusetts home to New York City on Wednesday 3 August 1955 to cut \"I Want You to Be My Baby\" that same afternoon. New York City disc jockeys were provided with acetates of the Gibbs' version by the following morning with regular jockey copies being shipped out Friday 5 August 1955. Neither version of the song would reach the Top Ten. Gibbs' version had the higher chart peak at #14 but it was the rough voiced Briggs - whose version peaked at #18 - who had the million seller.Ellie Greenwich versionEllie Greenwich, who as a teenager saw Lillian Briggs sing her hit at Alan Freed's rock and roll shows, chose \"I Want You to Be My Baby\" as the song to launch her career as a solo recording artist.

Produced by Ready Steady Go! co-host Michael Aldred and arranged by Mike Vickers, Davis' version featured a chorale comprising Madeline Bell, Kiki Dee, Kay Garner, Doris Troy and the Moody Blues. The single's failure to rise no higher than #33 was attributed to a strike at the Decca processing plant, which stopped the pressing of discs.The Jyve Fyve versionIn November 1970 the Jyve Fyve reached #50 on the R&B chart with their remake of \"I Want You to Be My Baby\".Other versionsIn Britain, Annie Ross - John Hendricks' future co-partner in Lambert, Hendricks & Ross - had an October 1955 single release of \"I Want You to Be My Baby\" recorded with Tony Crombie & His Orchestra. Neither this disc nor a 1956 UK single release of \"I Want You to Be My Baby\" by Don Lang charted. In February 1956, the British music magazine NME reported that Ross's version of the song was banned from airplay by the BBC due to the lyric \"Come upstairs and have some loving\".The song has also been recorded by Jimmy and the Mustangs, Colin James, Lindisfarne, Natasha England, Janis Siegel, and Leslie Uggams. A Finnish rendering - \"Armaani Sä Silloin Oisit\" - was recorded by Wiola Talvikki. It was also a hit for Chinese singer Grace Chang who performed the song in both Mandarin Chinese (\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000 \"Wo Yao Ni de Ai\" meaning \"I Want Your Love\") and English in the late 1950s. There was another rendition of the song in a classic 1958 Tamil movie Uthama puthiran, entitled \"Yaaradi Ni Mohini\". The song was turned into the title song of the Italian TV show Canzonissima in 1960, with the title “Tu lei lui voi noi”, sang by Wilma De Angelis and Johnny Dorelli.Passage 5:If You Want to Be My Woman\"If You Want to Be My Woman\" is a song written and recorded by American country music artist Merle Haggard backed by The Strangers.

He is best known as the composer of the theme music for the originalStar Trek series.Early lifeCourage was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He received a music degree from the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, New York,in 1941. He served in the United States Army Air Forces in the western United States during the Second World War. During that period, he also found the time tocompose music for the radio. His credits in this medium include the programs Adventures of Sam Spade Detective, Broadway Is My Beat, Hollywood Soundstage,and Romance.CareerCourage began as an orchestrator and arranger at MGM studios, which included work in such films as the 1951 Show Boat (\"Life Upon theWicked Stage\" number); Hot Rod Rumble (1957 film); The Band Wagon (\"I Guess I'll Have to Change My Plan\"); Gigi (the can-can for the entrance of patrons atMaxim's); and the barn raising dance from Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.He frequently served as an orchestrator on films scored by André Previn (My FairLady, \"The Circus is a Wacky World\", and \"You're Gonna Hear from Me\" production numbers for Inside Daisy Clover), Adolph Deutsch (Funny Face, Some Like ItHot), John Williams (The Poseidon Adventure, Superman, Jurassic Park, and the Academy Award-nominated musical films Fiddler on the Roof and Tom Sawyer),and Jerry Goldsmith (Rudy, Mulan, The Mummy, et al.). He also arranged the Leslie Bricusse score (along with Lionel Newman) for Doctor Dolittle (1967).Apartfrom his work as a respected orchestrator, Courage also contributed original dramatic scores to films, including two westerns: Arthur Penn's The Left Handed Gun(1958) and André de Toth's Day of the Outlaw (1959), and the Connie Francis comedy Follow the Boys (1963). He continued writing music for movies throughoutthe 1980s and 1990s, including the score for Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987), which incorporated three new musical themes by John Williams inaddition to Courage's adapted and original cues for the film. Courage's score for Superman IV: The Quest for Peace was released on CD in early 2008 by the FilmMusic Monthly company as part of its boxed set Superman - The Music, while La-La Land Records released a fully expanded restoration of the score on May 8,2018, as part of Superman's 80th anniversary.Courage also worked as a composer on such television shows as Daniel Boone, The Brothers Brannagan, Lost inSpace, Eight Is Enough, and Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. Judd, for the Defense, Young Dr. Kildare and The Brothers Brannagan were the only televisionseries besides Star Trek for which he composed the main theme.The composer Jerry Goldsmith and Courage teamed on the long-running television show TheWaltons in which Goldsmith composed the theme and Courage the Aaron Copland-influenced incidental music. In 1988, Courage won an Emmy Award for hismusic direction on the special Julie Andrews: The Sound of Christmas. In the 1990s, Courage succeeded Arthur Morton as Goldsmith's primaryorchestrator.Courage and Goldsmith collaborated again on orchestrations for Goldsmith's score for the 1997 film \"The Edge.\"Courage frequently collaborated withJohn Williams during the latter's tenure with the Boston Pops Orchestra.FamilyAt the age of 35, Courage married Mareile Beate Odlum on October 6,1955.Mareile, born in Germany, was the daughter of Rudolf Wolff and Elisabeth Loechelt. After Wolff's suicide Elisabeth married Carl Wilhelm Richard Hülsenbeck,renowned for his involvement in the Dada movement in Europe. Hülsenbeck brought his wife (Elisabeth), son (Tom) and step-daughter (Mareile) to the UnitedStates in 1938 to avoid the political situation rapidly developing in Europe. After arriving in the US he changed his last name to Hulbeck.Mareile's marriage toCourage was her third. Her second marriage was to Bruce Odlum (son of financier Floyd Odlum) in 1944. That union produced two sons, Christopher (1947) andBrian (1949). When Courage married Mareile he accepted the responsibility of acting stepfather to them. The family originally lived together on Erskine Dr. inPacific Palisades, but later moved to a mountainside home on Beverly Crest Drive in Beverly Hills.Aside from his musical abilities Courage was also an avid andaccomplished photographer. He took many dramatic photos of bullfights and auto racing. He was a racing enthusiast, and his interest in that sport andphotography brought him into contact with many racing personalities of the era, notably Phil Hill and Stirling Moss, both of whom he considered friends. Moss paidat least one social visit to the Erskine residence.Though a dedicated stepfather to Christopher and Brian, Courage's musical career took precedence over hisfamilial responsibilities. He sought to interest his step-children in music, and was responsible for arranging Brian's first musical lessons, on alto saxophone. Laterin life Brian became a composer of serious electronic music, though the vocation was not apparent during his childhood, as he was a poor saxophonestudent.Alexander and Mareile were divorced April 1, 1963. Courage subsequently married Kristin M. Zethren on July 14, 1967. That marriage also ended indivorce in 1972.Star Trek themeCourage is best known for writing the theme music for the original Star Trek series, and other music for that series. Courage washired by Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry to score the original series at Jerry Goldsmith's suggestion, after Goldsmith turned down the job. Courage went onto score incidental music for episodes \"The Man Trap\" and \"The Naked Time\" and some cues for \"Mudd's Women.\"Courage reportedly became alienated fromRoddenberry when Roddenberry claimed half of the theme music royalties. Roddenberry wrote words for Courage's theme, not because he expected the lyrics tobe sung on television, but so that he (Roddenberry) could receive half of the royalties from the song by claiming credit as the composition's co-writer. Couragewas replaced by composer Fred Steiner who was then hired to write the musical scores for the remainder of the first season. After sound editors had difficultyfinding the right effect, Courage himself made the iconic \"whoosh\" sound heard while the Enterprise flies across the screen.He returned to Star Trek to score twomore episodes for the show's third and final season, episodes \"The Enterprise Incident\" and \"Plato's Stepchildren,\" allegedly as a courtesy to Producer RobertJustman.Notably, after later serving as Goldsmith's orchestrator, when Goldsmith composed the music for Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Courage orchestratedGoldsmith's adaptation of his original Star Trek theme.Following Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Courage's iconic opening fanfare to the Star Trek theme becameone of the franchise's most famous and memorable musical cues. The fanfare has been used in multiple motion pictures and television series, notably Star Trek:The Next Generation and the four feature films based upon that series, three of which were scored by Goldsmith.DeathCourage had been in declining health forseveral years before he died on May 15, 2008, at the Sunrise assisted-living facility in Pacific Palisades, California. He had suffered a series of strokes prior to hisdeath. His mausoleum is in Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery.Passage 3:Walter Robinson (composer)Walter Robinson is an American composer of thelate 20th century.

The short was released by Warner Bros. Pictures on March 29, 1958 as part of the LooneyTunes series, and stars Bugs Bunny and Marvin the Martian.

He realizes what has happened once he screws open the tip of the ship, and is immediately hit by the satellite Sputnik and lands on what appears tobe a space station. While there, Bugs meets Marvin the Martian who is trying to blow up the Earth with his Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator (which isactually a stick of dynamite) because \"Earth obstructs his view of Venus\".Bugs quietly steals Marvin's explosive, and Marvin quickly discovers what happened. Hecreates a trio of \"Instant Martians\" (who somewhat resemble the Martians of A Martian Odyssey and Jumpin' Jupiter) by adding water to \"Instant Martian\" pills.The Martians all leave to capture Bugs. Bugs gets on a rocket scooter and is pursued by a Martian. After noticing it mimics his every move to catch up with him,Bugs mimes driving out of the space station, causing the Martian to actually do that. He is then pursued by the Martians and hides behind a door so that he canchase them. The Martians use the same trick to get behind Bugs and chase him, but he uses the same trick again to make the Martians run into a trapdoor andmake them fall out of the space station. Bugs then steals a UFO and when Marvin attempts to make more Martians, Bugs swaps the lit Space Modulator for theInstant Martian dispenser. The Modulator explodes in Marvin's hand just after he finishes saying its name, destroying his space station. Standing amid theshattered remains, Marvin concedes defeat and that it is \"back to the old drawing board\" for his plans to destroy the Earth.

'Servant of Muttalib') was the fourth chief of the Quraysh tribal confederation.He was the grandfather of the Islamic prophet Muhammad.Early lifeHis father was Hashim ibn 'Abd Manaf,: 81 the progenitor of the distinguished Banu Hashim, aclan of the Quraysh tribe of Mecca. They claimed descent from Ismā'īl and Ibrāhīm. His mother was Salma bint Amr, from the Banu Najjar, a clan of the Khazrajtribe in Yathrib (later called Madinah). Hashim died while doing business in Gaza, before Abd al-Muttalib was born.: 81 His real name was \"Shaiba\" meaning 'theancient one' or 'white-haired' because of the streak of white through his jet-black hair, and is sometimes also called Shaybah al-\u0000amd (\"The white streak ofpraise\").: 81–82 After his father's death he was raised in Yathrib with his mother and her family until about the age of eight, when his uncle Muttalib ibn AbdManaf went to see him and asked his mother Salmah to entrust Shaybah to his care. Salmah was unwilling to let her son go and Shaiba refused to leave hismother without her consent. Mu\u0000\u0000alib then pointed out that the possibilities Yathrib had to offer were incomparable to Mecca. Salmah was impressed with hisarguments, so she agreed to let him go. Upon first arriving in Mecca, the people assumed the unknown child was Muttalib's servant and started calling him 'Abdal-Muttalib (\"servant of Muttalib\").: 85–86Chieftain of Hashim clanWhen Mu\u0000\u0000alib died, Shaiba succeeded him as the chief of the Hāshim clan. Following hisuncle Al-Mu\u0000\u0000alib, he took over the duties of providing the pilgrims with food and water, and carried on the practices of his forefathers with his people. Heattained such eminence as none of his forefathers enjoyed; his people loved him and his reputation was great among them.: 61 'Umar ibn Al-Kha\u0000\u0000āb'sgrandfather Nufayl ibn Abdul Uzza arbitrated in a dispute between 'Abdul-Mu\u0000\u0000alib and \u0000arb ibn Umayyah, Abu Sufyan's father, over the custodianship of theKaaba. Nufayl gave his verdict in favour of 'Abdul-Mu\u0000\u0000alib. Addressing \u0000arb ibn Umayyah, he said:Why do you pick a quarrel with a person who is taller thanyou in stature; more imposing than you in appearance; more refined than you in intellect; whose progeny outnumbers yours and whose generosity outshinesyours in lustre? Do not, however, construe this into any disparagement of your good qualities which I highly appreciate. You are as gentle as a lamb, you arerenowned throughout Arabia for the stentorian tones of your voice, and you are an asset to your tribe.Discovery of Zam Zam Well'Abdul-Mu\u0000\u0000alib said thatwhile sleeping in the sacred enclosure, he had dreamed he was ordered to dig at the worship place of the Quraysh between the two deities Isāf and Nā'ila. Therehe would find the Zamzam Well, which the Jurhum tribe had filled in when they left Mecca. The Quraysh tried to stop him digging in that spot, but his sonAl-\u0000ārith stood guard until they gave up their protests. After three days of digging, 'Abdul-Mu\u0000\u0000alib found traces of an ancient religious well and exclaimed,\"Allahuakbar!\" Some of the Quraysh disputed his claim to sole rights over water, then one of them suggested that they go to a female shaman who lived afar. Itwas said that she could summon jinns and that she could help them decide who was the owner of the well. So, 11 people from the 11 tribes went on theexpedition. They had to cross the desert to meet the priestess but then they got lost. There was a lack of food and water and people started to lose hope of evergetting out. One of them suggested that they dig their own graves and if they died, the last person standing would bury the others. So all began digging their owngraves and just as Abdul-Mu\u0000\u0000alib started digging, water spewed out from the hole he dug and everyone became overjoyed. It was then and there decided thatAbdul-Muttalib was the owner of the Zam Zam well.

Roosevelt was also the father of President Theodore Roosevelt and the paternal grandfather of First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt. He served as amember of the plate-glass importing business Roosevelt & Son.Roosevelt helped found the New York City Children's Aid Society. Related to this, and largelythrough his initiative,. . . a permanent Newsboys' Lodging house [was] established . . . where nightly several hundred stray boys . . . were given a clean bed in awarm room for five cents, a fraction of what was charged by the lowest kind of commercial flophouse.He also helped found the Metropolitan Museum of Art, theAmerican Museum of Natural History, and the New York Children's Orthopedic Hospital. A participant in New York society life, he was described by one historian asa man of both \"good works and good times\". In December 1877, Roosevelt was nominated to be Collector of the Port of New York but was rejected by the U.S.Senate.FamilyRoosevelt was born in Albany, New York to businessman Cornelius Roosevelt and Margaret Barnhill. His four elder brothers were Silas, James,Cornelius Jr., and Robert. His younger brother, William, died at the age of one.Roosevelt married Martha Stewart Bulloch of Roswell, Georgia, on December 22,1853. She was the younger daughter of Major James Stephens Bulloch and Martha \"Patsy\" Stewart. Mittie was also a sister of the American Civil War'sConfederate veteran Irvine Bulloch and half-sister of Civil War Confederate veteran James Dunwoody Bulloch. They married at her family's historic mansion,Bulloch Hall in Roswell. Theodore Sr. and Martha had four children:Anna Roosevelt in 1855Theodore Roosevelt Jr. in 1858, who became the 26th president of theUnited StatesElliott Roosevelt (socialite) in 1860, who was the father of future First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt and father-in-law of President Franklin D.RooseveltCorinne Roosevelt in 1861His son's recollectionsOf Theodore Sr., or \"Thee\" as he was known, his namesake son, in his autobiography described him inthe following words:My father, Theodore Roosevelt, was the best man I ever knew. He combined strength and courage with gentleness, tenderness, and greatunselfishness. He would not tolerate in us children selfishness or cruelty, idleness, cowardice, or untruthfulness. As we grew older, he made us understand thatthe same standard of clean living was demanded for the boys as for the girls; that what was wrong in a woman could not be right in a man. With great love andpatience, and the most generous sympathy and consideration, he combined insistence on discipline. He never physically punished me but once, but he was theonly man of whom I was ever really afraid. I do not mean that it was a wrong fear, for he was entirely just, and we children adored him. ...I never knew anyonewho got greater joy out of living than did my father, or anyone who more whole-heartedly performed every duty; and no one whom I have ever met approachedhis combination of enjoyment of life and performance of duty. He and my mother were given to hospitality that at that time was associated more commonly withsouthern than northern households. ...My father worked hard at his business, for he died when he was forty-six, too early to have retired. He was interested inevery social reform movement, and he did an immense amount of practical charitable work himself. He was a big, powerful man, with a leonine face, and hisheart filled with gentleness for those who needed help or protection, and with the possibility of much wrath against a bully or an oppressor. ... [He] was greatlyinterested in the societies to prevent cruelty to children and cruelty to animals. On Sundays, he had a mission class.\" In a 1900 letter, Roosevelt described hisfather, writing:I was fortunate enough in having a father whom I have always been able to regard as an ideal man. It sounds a little like cant to say what I amgoing to say, but he did combine the strength and courage and will and energy of the strongest man with the tenderness, cleanness, and purity of a woman. Iwas a sickly and timid boy. He not only took great and untiring care of me—some of my earliest remembrances are of nights when he would walk up and downwith me for an hour at a time in his arms when I was a wretched mite suffering acutely with asthma—but he also most wisely refused to coddle me, and made mefeel that I must force myself to hold my own with other boys and prepare to do the rough work of the world. I cannot say that he ever put it into words, but hecertainly gave me the feeling that I was always to be both decent and manly, and that if I were manly nobody would laugh at my being decent. In all mychildhood he never laid hand on me but once, but I always knew perfectly well that in case it became necessary he would not have the slightest hesitancy in doingso again, and alike from my love and respect, and in a certain sense, my fear of him, I would have hated and dreaded beyond measure to have him know that Ihad been guilty of a lie, or of cruelty, or of bullying, or of uncleanness or cowardice. Gradually I grew to have the feeling on my account, and not merely on his.\"To combat his poor physical condition, his father encouraged the young Roosevelt to take up exercise. To deal with bullies, Roosevelt started boxing lessons. Twotrips abroad had a permanent impact: family tours of Europe in 1869 and 1870, and of the Middle East 1872 to 1873.Support for the Union during the CivilWarTheodore Sr. was an active supporter of the Union during the Civil War. He was one of the Charter Members of the Union League Club, which was founded topromote the Northern cause. He has not been listed as such, probably because his wife was a loyal supporter of the Confederacy, and her brothers IrvineStephens Bulloch and James Dunwoody Bulloch were fighting for the Confederate Army. It was perhaps because of her active support of the Confederate Armythat Theodore Sr. hired a replacement to fulfill his draft obligation in the Army of the Potomac. During the war, he and two friends, William Earl Dodge Jr. andTheodore B. Bronson, drew up an Allotment System, which amounted to a soldier's payroll deduction program to support families back home. He then went toWashington, lobbied for, and won acceptance of this system, with the help of Abraham Lincoln himself. Theodore Sr. and Mr. Dodge were appointed AllotmentCommissioners from New York State. At their expense, the two men toured all New York divisions of the Army of the Potomac in the field to explain this programand sign interested men up, with a significant degree of success. In 1864, the Union League Club recruited money and food to send Thanksgiving Dinner to theentire Army of the Potomac. Theodore Sr. served as Treasurer for this generous outpouring of support for the troops. The elder Roosevelt meticulously listedevery donation received in a Union League Report dated December 1864.Orthopedic HospitalRoosevelt founded the New York Orthopedic Hospital. His youngerdaughter Corinne wrote this account of its origins: Bamie was born with a curved spine, and Roosevelt found a young doctor, Charles Fayette Taylor, who haddeveloped groundbreaking methods of treating physical defects in children, including braces and other equipment. Roosevelt then organized what appeared to bea social party for the upper crust of New York City. When the would-be revelers arrived, however, what they saw to their great surprise, were small children innew braces specially constructed for them. Moved to tears by the sight, one of the wealthiest socialites, Charlotte Augusta Gibbes (wife of financier/philanthropistJohn Jacob Astor III) said, \"Theodore, you are right; these children must be restored and made into active citizens again, and I for one will help you in yourwork.\" That same day enough money was collected to start the hospital. Friends of Roosevelt used to see him coming and note the look in his eyes only to say tohim, \"How much is it, this time, Theodore?\"Other philanthropic interestsIn addition to contributing large sums to the Newsboys' Lodging-house (as noted above),he also contributed to the Young Men's Christian Association, organized the Bureau of United Charities, and was a commissioner of the New York State Board ofCharities. He was a director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and of the American Museum of Natural History.Nomination for Collector to the Port of New York,and deathIn October 1877, Roosevelt was nominated by President Rutherford Hayes to the position of Collector of Customs at the Port of New York. One ofHayes's main reasons for nominating Roosevelt was to embarrass New York Senator Roscoe Conkling, whom Hayes considered corrupt, and who was demandingthe renomination of the incumbent Collector, future President Chester A. Arthur. Conkling, as a member of the Senate committee tasked with considering theappointment, used endless delaying tactics, and the resulting battle made national headlines and left Roosevelt Sr. feeling humiliated and disillusioned.As theprocess dragged on, Roosevelt started experiencing severe stomach cramps caused by a gastrointestinal tumor, misdiagnosed as peritonisis. In December, twodays after his appointment was finally rejected in the Senate by a vote of 25 to 31, Roosevelt collapsed. Initially he kept the extent of his illness hidden from hiselder son, who was away attending Harvard. In February, however, 19-year-old Theodore Jr. was informed and immediately took a train from Cambridge to NewYork, where he missed his father's death by a few hours. The senior Roosevelt had been 46.A devout Christian who led his children in daily prayers, Roosevelt'sfuneral was held in Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church, which was filled to overflowing. The voice of his former pastor (William Adams) broke several times in thecourse of his remarks in the service.Theodore Roosevelt Jr. was profoundly affected by the early death of his father and spent months in a deep state ofgrief.LegacyBiographer H. W. Brands argued that the timing of his death contributed heavily to the younger Theodore's psychology, since the future presidentknew his father fully while growing up, but missed knowing his father man-to-man, and therefore absorbed a view of his father entirely in his role as a parent,untempered by much realization of his human imperfection. Theodore Jr.'s sister Corinne remarked that \"when [Theodore Jr.] was entering upon his duties asPresident of the United States, he told me frequently that he never took any serious step or made any vital decision for his country without thinking first whatposition his father would have taken on the question.\"Historian David McCullough, in the introduction to his book about President Roosevelt's youth, remarked:Ithink it is fair to say that one can not really know Theodore Roosevelt, the twenty-sixth President of the United States, without knowing the sort of man his fatherwas. Indeed, if I could have one wish for you the reader, it would be that you come away from the book with a strong sense of what a great man TheodoreRoosevelt, Sr. was.In 2012, historian Douglas Brinkley ranked Roosevelt first in a list of fathers of presidents of the United States, citing his instilling his son with"} +{"doc_id":"doc_206","qid":"","text":"Passage 1:Paul De WeertPaul De Weert (born 27 November 1945) is a Belgian rower.

From age 12, he practiced successfully in Paris as a painter of fans. In 1876, at21, he first exhibited at the Paris Salon. Having lost his money by the failure of a Paris bank, he moved in 1890 to New York City and in 1896 held an exhibition offlower paintings which secured him instant recognition.Life in HollywoodDe Longpré arrived in Los Angeles, Southern California with his family in 1899. DaeidaWilcox, with husband H. H. Wilcox the founders of Hollywood, was so eager to attract culture to the town that she gave him her homesite for his estate, three lotson Cahuenga on the north of Prospect (later Hollywood Boulevard), in exchange for three of his paintings.In 1901, Canadian architect Louis Bourgeois designed alandmark residence for the 3 acres (1.2 ha) estate, in the Mission Revival style. The house included an art gallery to sell prints of de Longpré's paintings, and wassurrounded by the expansive \"Le Roi de Fleur\" flower gardens. Estate tours became a popular tourist destination off an exclusive Balloon Route trolley spur of theLos Angeles Pacific Railroad, that later became a Pacific Electric Redcar line, and with print sales additional sources of income for de Longpré.Paul de Longpré islisted in the 1900 US Census, Los Angeles City Ward 5, Precincts 38 B and 73 A, with his wife Josephine and daughters Blance, Alice, and Pauline. His occupationis listed as Artist, but the last name is misspelled as De Lonpre, It indicates Paul, Josephine, Blance, and Alice were born in France, and Pauline was born in NewYork City. The architect Louis Bourgeois also taught French to de Longpré's daughters, and later married his daughter Alice.Paul de Longpré died at home in LosAngeles at age 56, on 29 June 1911.Afterwards, the family moved back to France. The increased property values in rapidly developing Hollywood resulted indemolition of the gardens by 1924, and the house in 1927.WorksDe Longpré only painted specimens of flowers. With a delicacy of touch and feeling for color heunited scientific knowledge and art. He also knew how to give expression to the subtle essence of the flowers. Painting floral scenes almost exclusively inwatercolors, in the 1900s de Longpre found inspiration in the 4,000 rose bushes he planted on his Hollywood estate. The finest of his paintings include DoublePeach Blossoms and White Fringed Poppies (1902) – both widely known through popular reproductions.LegacyIn present-day Hollywood, the street De LongpreAvenue, and De Longpre Park on it are both named for him.Passage 3:Paul de ScherffPaul de Scherff (14 July 1820 – 22 July 1894) was a Luxembourgianpolitician.De Scherff was born in Frankfurt to F. H. W. von Scherff-Arnoldi, who was minister plenipotentiary of the King-Grand Duke to the German FederalDiet. After studying law, Paul de Scherff came to Luxembourg. For six years he was avocat géneral, and later became president of the superior court, at the ageof 34. From 24 June 1856 to 11 November 1858 he was Administrateur général (Minister) for Public Works and Railways in the Simons Ministry. From 1869 to1871, and then again from 1886 to 1892 he was a member of the Chamber of Deputies for the Centre, and was President of the Chamber of Deputies from 1869until 1872.When the walls of the fortress of Luxembourg were demolished in the 1870s and 1880s, Paul de Scherff was working in the ministry of public works,where he dealt with the building of the municipal parks.He married Marie Pescatore on 14 September 1842, daughter of Constantin Jos.

He was also recognized for hisportraits and his nudes for which he was, in 1964, considered one of the greatest photographers in the world together with Guy Bourdin and Lucien Clergue. Heproduced portraits of many personalities such as Johnny Hallyday, Gilbert Bécaud, Mireille Darc, Jacques Brel, Fernand Raynaud, Anna Karina, Samy Davis Jr.,Jeanne Moreau, Steve McQueen and his long-time friends, Daniel Sorano and Jacques Dufilho as well as Gonzague Saint Bris with whom he was very close andwho nicknamed him “The Toulouse-Lautrec of photography’’. In 1961 he participated alongside Edouard Boubat, Agnès Varda, Man Ray, Frank Horvat, WilliamKlein and Robert Doisneau in the mythical exhibition \"Metamorphosis and invention of a face\" around the portrait of Anne- Marie Edvina. He was also anequestrian, fashion and advertising photographer, notably for Nikon and Beaulieu. He collaborated with Europe 1 in the years 1960/70. Paul de Cordon even triedhis hand at television by co-presenting the Cirques du Monde program with Jean Richard on channel A2. His works are present in prestigious collections such asthose of the National Library of France (BNF), the Rodin museum and W.M. Hunt.Early yearsPaul de Cordon was born in Toulouse. His father, Comte Pierre deCordon, was a cavalry officer; his mother, Marthe de Boyer-Montegut, a cultivated, book-loving woman, was the daughter of Paul de Boyer- Montégut, who, formany years, was mayor of Cugnaux, near Toulouse, where he owned the château de Maurens.It was in Maurens that Paul de Cordon, as a child, spent hisholidays and it was there that he discovered horses which were to become one of the great passions of his life. His grandfather Boyer-Montegut was what was theFrench call, a “Homme de cheval’’ whose four-in-hand teams were renowned in Toulouse and across the region. As a child, he also lived for several years in Mainz(Germany), where his father was stationed after the First World War. It was around this time that he started taking pictures with a small camera, a gift from hisparents. He learned the basic techniques from an old German photographer during long hours spent in his shop.It was also in Germany where his attraction to thecircus was born. The large travelling circuses, like Althoff, then crisscrossed the country with quality shows and numerous animals.As a teenager, he was aboarder in a Paris school. He was then able to discover a very intense artistic and cultural life thanks to his aunt, the Marquise du Crozet, his mother's elder sister.He attended performances by Serge de Diaghilev's Ballets Russes which, after the war, came on tour every year to Paris. He went to the theater and visitedexhibitions with his first cousin, Aimar du Crozet, who was much older than him and took him \"under his wing\" to serve as his guide to the Paris of the 1920s.Aimar du Crozet also had a passion for horses and races. He was the owner of Master Bob, who won the 1924 Paris Grand Steeple Chase * and who became sofamous an athlete that he is mentioned by Ernest Hemingway at the start of his book ‘’Death in the Afternoon’’.After his studies Paul de Cordon enlisted in the18th Dragons cavalry regiment. More than a true military vocation, it was once again the love of horses that motivated him.At that time almost all the cavalryregiments were mounted and each maintained and trained horses to enter in show jumping events and steeple chases, in which both officers andnoncommissioned officers participated. In the 1930s, he thus took part in dozens of races on tracks in France and across Europe.After the 18th Dragons he wasassigned to the 2nd Hussards, in Tarbes, the “Chamborant’’, where he continued his favorite activities; training and riding horses. By an amusing coincidence, hisgreat-grandmother on his mother’s side was Louise de Séganville, daughter of Colonel Baron de Séganville who had been the regiment’s commanding officerbetween 1813 and 1815.It was at the 2nd Hussards that he had two encounters that would mean a lot in his life. He befriended Jacques Dufilho who, afterinterrupting his studies in dental prosthesis, had signed an eighteen-month enlistment contract. * Dufilho will become one of his dearest friends when they meetagain after the war. There he also meets Jean Devaivre who completed his military service at “Chamborant’’. Jean Devaivre then went to work in cinema andbecame a great director, it was he who enabled Paul de Cordon, after the war, to embark on a new life.Devaivre was not only a cineaste but also an authenticcharacter actor: working during the occupation for the German group Continental Films in Paris, he was at the same time a very active member of the Frenchresistance. His exploits include flying from the Nevers region to London clandestinely after having made the journey from Paris to Nevers in the afternoon... bybicycle. Bertrand Tavernier's film “Laissez-passer’’ is directly inspired by his life, as recounted in his autobiography, “Action’’.In 1939, the 2nd Hussards broke upinto reconnaissance groups which took part in the 1940 battles on the Ardennes front, * Paul de Cordon participated in these actions in a mounted squadron andwas taken prisoner by the Germans. He ended his captivity in the fortress of Colditz where he was liberated by the US military on April 16, 1945.In 1945 hemarried Dilette de Rigaud de Vaudreuil and they had three children. He remained in the army for a few more months and was assigned to the Cadre Noir inSaumur.Second lifeAfter a few months in Saumur, he decided to leave the army. In 1947 Jean Devaivre who had just directed “La dame d’onze heure\" with PaulMeurisse, a film of astonishing modernity, offered him a job as his assistant and Paul de Cordon accepted.He was Devaivre’s first assistant director for “La fermedes sept péchés\" ( he was also the stuntman for scenes on horseback) and for \"Vendetta en Camargue\" where he reunited with Jacques Dufilho. At that time, inaddition to being a stuntman he was also an acrobatic and burlesque dancer.At the beginning of the 1950s, Paul de Cordon decided to become a professionalphotographer. He set up a studio in Paris and started developing relations with various clients in the press, advertising agencies, fashion designers, show business...He also began to develop a large-scale personal project on the circus and the Crazy Horse Saloon cabaret. He spent many nights with his camera at Medrano, atthe Bouglione brothers' Cirque d’Hiver and at the Crazy Horse Saloon. Until the 1990s he also traveled the world to visitcircuses and bring back photos. Overthese years, he has developed close ties with the great dynasties of the circus ring : Schumann, Rancy, Knie, Gruss, Bouglione, Houcke, Medrano, Fratellini etc ...In all these families the horse occupied a central role in their performances. This equestrian culture and Paul de Cordon’s experience as a horseman facilitated andconsolidated links with all these artists and strengthened their mutual confidence and friendship. His taste for spectacle, ballets and theater helped him toappreciate and better understand the work represented by all these artists. During these years, in addition to his work as a photographer, Paul de Cordon wrote a"} +{"doc_id":"doc_207","qid":"","text":"Passage 1:Arthur Lehman GoodhartArthur Lehman Goodhart (1 March 1891 in New York City – 10 November 1978 in Oxford) was an American-born academicjurist and lawyer; he was Professor of Jurisprudence at the University of Oxford, 1931–51, when he was also a Fellow of University College, Oxford.

He was named in honor of Emperor Tiberius II, his maternal grandfather. He had an olderbrother, Theodosius, four younger brothers, Peter, Paul, Justin, and Justinian, and three sisters, Anastasia, Theoctiste, and Cleopatra. Maurice was not only thefirst Byzantine emperor since Theodosius I to produce a son, but his and Constantina's ability to produce numerous children was the subject of popularjokes.Maurice had served as magister militum per Orientem, the commander of Byzantine forces in the East, securing decisive victories over the SassanianEmpire. The ruling Byzantine Emperor, Tiberius II, weakened by illness, named Maurice one of his two heirs, alongside Germanus, planning to divide the empirein two, giving Maurice the Eastern half. However, Germanus declined, and therefore, on 13 August 582, Maurice was married to Constantina and declaredemperor. Tiberius II died the following day, and Maurice became sole emperor.Later lifeAccording to his father's will, written in 597 when he was suffering fromsevere illness, Maurice intended for Tiberius to rule Italy and the western islands, centered in Rome, rather than Ravenna, with Theodosius ruling in the East,centered in Constantinople. Theophylact Simocatta, a contemporary source, states that the remainder of the empire would be split by Maurice's younger sons,and Byzantist J. B. Bury suggests one would rule North Africa, and the other Illyricum, including Greece, with Domitian of Melitene as their guardian. HistorianJohannes Wienand suggests that in this arrangement, Theodosius would serve as senior augustus, Tiberius as junior augustus, and the younger brothers ascaesars.In 602 Maurice ordered the Byzantine army to winter beyond the Danube, causing troops exhausted by warfare against the Slavs to rise up, and declarePhocas their leader. The troops demanded Maurice abdicate in favor of Theodosius or General Germanus. On 22 November 602, facing riots in Constantinople ledby the Green faction, Maurice and his family boarded a warship bound for Nicomedia. Theodosius may have been at that time in the Sasanian Empire, on adiplomatic mission, or, according to some sources, was later sent by Maurice to request aid from the Sassanian Emperor Khosrow II.Phocas was crowned emperorthe next day, on the 23rd, after he arrived in the capital. After surviving a storm, Tiberius and his family landed at Saint Autonomos, near Praenetus, 45 miles (72km) from Constantinople, but were forced to stay there due to Maurice's arthritis, which left him bed-ridden. They were captured by Lilios, an officer of Phocas,and brought to the Harbor of Eutropius at Chalcedon, where on 27 November 602, Tiberius and his three younger brothers were put to death, followed by Mauricehimself. Their remains were gathered by Gordia, Tiberius' aunt, and interred at the Monastery of Saint Mamas, which she had founded. Theodosius wassubsequently captured and executed when he returned, while Constantina and her daughters were taken under the protection of Cyriacus II, the Patriarch ofConstantinople.Passage 2:Augustus II the StrongAugustus II (12 May 1670 – 1 February 1733), most commonly known as Augustus the Strong, was Elector ofSaxony from 1694 as well as King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania in the years 1697–1706 and from 1709 until his death in 1733. He belonged to theAlbertine line of the House of Wettin.Augustus' great physical strength earned him the nicknames \"the Strong\", \"the Saxon Hercules\" and \"Iron-Hand\". He liked toshow that he lived up to his name by breaking horseshoes with his bare hands and engaging in fox tossing by holding the end of his sling with just one fingerwhile two of the strongest men in his court held the other end. He is also notable for fathering a very large number of children.In order to be elected king of thePolish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, Augustus converted to Roman Catholicism. As a Catholic, he received the Order of the Golden Fleece from the Holy RomanEmperor and established the Order of the White Eagle, Poland's highest distinction. As Elector of Saxony, he is perhaps best remembered as a patron of the artsand architecture. He transformed the Saxon capital of Dresden into a major cultural centre, attracting artists from across Europe to his court. Augustus alsoamassed an impressive art collection and built lavish baroque palaces in Dresden and Warsaw. In 1711 he served as the Imperial vicar of the Holy RomanEmpire.His reigns brought Poland some troubled times. He led the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth in the Great Northern War, which allowed the Russian Empireto strengthen its influence in Europe, especially within Poland. His main pursuit was bolstering royal power in the Commonwealth, characterized by broaddecentralization in comparison with other European monarchies. He tried to accomplish this goal using foreign powers and thus destabilized the state. Augustusruled Poland with an interval; in 1704 the Swedes installed nobleman Stanisław Leszczyński as king, who officially reigned from 1706 to 1709 and after Augustus'death in 1733 which sparked the War of the Polish Succession.Augustus' body was buried in Poland's royal Wawel Cathedral in Kraków, but his heart rests in theDresden Cathedral. His only legitimate son, Augustus III of Poland, became king in 1733.Early lifeAugustus was born in Dresden on 12 May 1670, the youngerson of John George III, Elector of Saxony and Princess Anna Sophie of Denmark. As the second son, Augustus had no expectation of inheriting the electorate,since his older brother, Johann Georg IV, assumed the post after the death of their father on 12 September 1691. Augustus was well educated, and spent someyears in travel and in fighting against France.Augustus married Kristiane Eberhardine of Brandenburg-Bayreuth in Bayreuth on 20 January 1693. They had a son,Frederick Augustus II (1696–1763), who succeeded his father as Elector of Saxony and King of Poland as Augustus III.While in Venice during the carnival season,his older brother, the Elector Johann Georg IV, contracted smallpox from his mistress Magdalena Sibylla of Neidschutz. On 27 April 1694, Johann Georg diedwithout legitimate issue and Augustus became Elector of Saxony, as Friedrich Augustus I.Conversion to CatholicismTo be eligible for election to the throne of thePolish–Lithuanian Commonwealth in 1697, Augustus had to convert to Roman Catholicism. The Saxon dukes had traditionally been called \"champions of theReformation\". Saxony had been a stronghold of German Protestantism and Augustus' conversion was therefore considered shocking in Protestant Europe.Although the prince-elector guaranteed Saxony's religious status quo, Augustus' conversion alienated many of his Protestant subjects. As a result of theenormous expenditure of money used to bribe the Polish nobility and clergy, Augustus' contemporaries derisively referred to the Saxon duke's royal ambitions ashis \"Polish adventure\".His church policy within the Holy Roman Empire followed orthodox Lutheranism and ran counter to his new-found religious and absolutistconvictions. The Protestant princes of the empire and the two remaining Protestant electors (of Hanover and Prussia) were anxious to keep Saxonywell-integrated in their camp. According to the Peace of Augsburg, Augustus theoretically had the right to re-introduce Roman Catholicism (see Cuius regio, eiusreligio), or at least grant full religious freedom to his fellow Catholics in Saxony, but this never happened. Saxony remained Lutheran and the few RomanCatholics residing in Saxony lacked any political or civil rights. In 1717, it became clear just how awkward the situation was: to realize his ambitious dynasticplans in Poland and Germany, it was necessary for Augustus' heirs to become Roman Catholic. After five years as a convert, his son—the future AugustusIII—publicly avowed his Roman Catholicism. The Saxon Estates were outraged and revolted as it became clear that his conversion to Catholicism was not only amatter of form, but of substance as well.Since the Peace of Westphalia, the Elector of Saxony had been the director of the Protestant body in the Reichstag. Toplacate the other Protestant states in the Empire, Augustus nominally delegated the directorship of the Protestant body to Johann Adolf II, Duke ofSaxe-Weissenfels. However, when the Elector's son also converted to Catholicism, the Electorate faced a hereditary Catholic succession instead of a return to aProtestant Elector upon Augustus's death. When the conversion became public in 1717, Brandenburg-Prussia and Hanover attempted to oust Saxony from thedirectorship and appoint themselves as joint directors, but they gave up the attempt in 1720. Saxony would retain the directorship of the Protestant body in theReichstag until the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire in 1806, despite the fact that all remaining Electors of Saxony were Catholic.The wife of Augustus, theElectress Christiane Eberhardine, refused to follow her husband's example and remained a staunch Protestant. She did not attend her husband's coronation inPoland and led a rather quiet life outside Dresden, gaining some popularity for her stubbornness.King of Poland for the first timeFollowing the death of Polish KingJohn III Sobieski and having converted to Catholicism, Augustus won election as King of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth in 1697 with the backing ofImperial Russia and Austria, which financed him through the banker Berend Lehmann. At the time, some questioned the legality of Augustus' elevation, sinceanother candidate, François Louis, Prince of Conti, had received more votes. Each candidate, Conti and Augustus, was proclaimed as king by a differentecclesiastical authority: (the Primate Michaŀ Radziejowski proclaimed Conti and the bishop of Kujawy, Stanisław Dąmbski proclaimed Augustus, with JacobHeinrich von Flemming swearing to the pacta conventa as Augustus's proxy). However, Augustus hurried to the Commonwealth with a Saxon army, while Contistayed in France for two months.Although he had led the imperial troops against Turkey in 1695 and 1696 without very much success, Augustus continued thewar of the Holy League against Turkey, and after a campaign in Moldavia, his Polish army eventually defeated the Tatar expedition in the Battle of Podhajce in1698. This victory compelled the Ottoman Empire to sign the Treaty of Karlowitz in 1699. Podolia and Kamieniec Podolski returned to Poland. An ambitious ruler,Augustus hoped to make the Polish throne hereditary within his family, and to use his resources as Elector of Saxony to impose some order on the chaoticPolish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. He was, however, soon distracted from his internal reform projects by the possibility of external conquest. He formed an"} +{"doc_id":"doc_209","qid":"","text":"Passage 1:Hafsa HatunHafsa Hatun (Ottoman Turkish: \u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000 \u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000, \"young lioness\") was a Turkish princess, and a consort of Bayezid I, Sultan of theOttoman Empire.LifeHafsa Hatun was the daughter of Isa Bey, the ruler of the Aydinids.

Although drawing similarities to prototypical examples of virtuous Roman women, such as Lucretia, Cornelia puts herself apartfrom the rest because of her interest in literature, writing, and her investment in the political careers of her sons. She was the mother of the Gracchi brothers,and the mother-in-law of Scipio Aemilianus.BiographyCornelia married Tiberius Sempronius Gracchus, grandson of Tiberius Sempronius Gracchus, when he wasalready in middle age. The union proved to be a happy one, and together they had 12 children, which is very unusual by Roman standards. Six of them were boysand six were girls. Only three are known to have survived childhood: Sempronia, who married her cousin Publius Cornelius Scipio Aemilianus, and the two Gracchibrothers (Tiberius and Gaius Gracchus), who would defy the political institutions of Rome with their attempts at popular reforms.After her husband's death, shechose to remain a widow while still enjoying a princess-like status and set herself to educating her children. She even refused the marriage proposal of KingPtolemy VIII Physcon because she is made to be a virtuous and dutiful wife after the death of her only husband. However, her refusal could simply be justified bythe fact that she had a desire for more independence and freedom in the manner in which her children were to be raised.Later in her life, Cornelia studiedliterature, Latin, and Greek. Cornelia took advantage of the Greek scholars she brought to Rome, notably the philosophers Blossius (from Cumae) and Diophanes(from Mytilene), who were to educate young men. She had been taught the importance of receiving an education and came to play an extensive role in her sons'education during the \"bygone republican era,\" resulting in the creation of a \"superior breed of Roman political leader.\" Cornelia always supported her sonsTiberius and Gaius, even when their actions outraged the conservative patrician families in which she was born. She took a lot of pride in them, comparing herchildren to \"jewels\" and other precious things, according to Valerius Maximus.After their violent deaths, she retired from Rome to a villa in Misenum but continuedto receive guests. Her villa saw the likes of many learned men, including Greek scholars, who came from all over the Roman world to read and discuss their ideasfreely. Rome worshipped her virtues, and when she died at an advanced age, the city voted for a statue in her honor.Role in the political careers of her childrenItis important to note that M. I. Finely advances the argument that \"the exclusion of women from any direct participation in political or governmental activity\" was anormal practice in Ancient Roman society. Therefore, it is extremely difficult to characterize the extent of Cornelia's involvement in the political careers of herchildren, yet there is important evidence to support the fact that she was, at the very least, engaged.A common social practice in Rome was extending thepolitical line of a family through dynastic marriages, especially when two families were rising to power at about the same time. The marriage of Sempronia(Cornelia's daughter) to her cousin reaffirmed the continuation of the great Scipio lineage, seeing as though the legacy of Scipio Africanus had to be continuedsomehow. Scipio Aemilianus saw important growth in his political prestige as a result of this marriage, although not enough to compare to his brothers-in-law andtheir revolutionary political reforms.One of the most important aspects of the life of Cornelia is her relationship with her adult sons. Most of the information thatwe have on her role during this time is what Plutarch wrote in both the Life of Tiberius Gracchus and the Life of Gaius Gracchus. She is portrayed as active duringtheir political careers, especially during Gaius’.Plutarch writes of how Gaius removed a law that disgraced Marcus Octavius, the tribune whom Tiberius haddeposed, because Cornelia asked him to remove it. Plutarch states that the people all approved of this out of respect for her (due to her sons and her father).Plutarch also writes that Cornelia may have helped Gaius undermine the power of the consul Lucius Opimius by hiring foreign harvesters to help provideresistance (which suggests that harvesters were supporters of the Gracchi).Plutarch also writes that, when one of Gaius's political opponents attacked Cornelia,Gaius retorted:\"What,\" said he, \"dost thou abuse Cornelia, who gave birth to Tiberius?\" And since the one who had uttered the abuse was charged witheffeminate practices, \"With what effrontery,\" said Gaius, \"canst thou compare thyself with Cornelia? Hast thou borne such children as she did? And verily all Romeknows that she refrained from commerce with men longer than thou hast, though thou art a man.\"This remark suggests that the Gracchi used their mother'sreputation as a chaste, noble woman to their advantage in their political rhetoric.Cornelia's letter excerptsThe manuscripts of Cornelius Nepos, the earliest Latinbiographer (ca. 110-24 BC), include several excerpts from a letter supposedly composed by Cornelia to Gaius (her younger son). If the letters are authentic, theywould make Cornelia one of only four Roman women whose writings survive to the present day, and they would show how Roman women wielded considerableinfluence in political families. Additionally, this would make Cornelia the first woman in her own family who wrote and passed down the importance of writing toher posterity. The letters may be dated to just before Gaius' tribunate in 122 BC (Gaius would be killed the following year in 121 BC, over a decade after thedeath of his brother Tiberius in 133 BC). The wording in the letter is very interesting, insomuch as it uses the first person, is very assertive and displays copiousamounts of raw emotion, which may have been new and unusual for a woman writing at that time, particularly to a man of such important social standing. Thetwo excerpts read as follows:\"You will say that it is a beautiful thing to take on vengeance on enemies. To no one does this seem either greater or more beautifulthan it does to me, but only if it is possible to pursue these aims without harming our country. But seeing as that cannot be done, our enemies will not perish fora long time and for many reasons, and they will be as they are now rather than have our country be destroyed and perish....I would dare to take an oathsolemnly, swearing that, except for those who have murdered Tiberius Gracchus, no enemy has foisted so much difficulty and so much distress upon me as youhave because of the matters: you should have shouldered the responsibilities of all of those children whom I had in the past, and to make sure that I might havethe least anxiety possible in my old age; and that, whatever you did, you would wish to please me most greatly; and that you would consider it sacrilegious to doanything of great significance contrary to my feelings, especially as I am someone with only a short portion of my life left. Cannot even that time span, as brief asit is, be of help in keeping you from opposing me and destroying our country? In the final analysis, what end will there be? When will our family stop behavinginsanely? When will we cease insisting on troubles, both suffering and causing them? When will we begin to feel shame about disrupting and disturbing ourcountry? But if this is altogether unable to take place, seek the office of tribune when I will be dead; as far as I am concerned, do what will please you, when Ishall not perceive what you are doing. When I have died, you will sacrifice to me as a parent and call upon the god of your parent. At that time does it not shameyou to seek prayers of those gods, whom you considered abandoned and deserted when they were alive and on hand? May Jupiter not for a single instant allowyou to continue in these actions nor permit such madness to come into your mind. And if you persist, I fear that, by your own fault, you may incur such troublefor your entire life that at no time would you be able to make yourself happy.\"In the early 40s BC, Cicero, Nepos's contemporary, referenced Cornelia's letters.Cicero portrayed his friend Atticus as arguing for the influence of mothers on children's speech by noting that the letters' style appeared to Atticus to show thatthe Gracchi were heavily influenced by Cornelia's speech more than by her rearing. Later in history, Marcus Fabius Quintilian (ca. 35- ca. 100) would reassertAtticus's view of Cornelia's letters when he said \"we have heard that their mother Cornelia had contributed greatly to the eloquence of the Gracchi, a womanwhose extremely learned speech also has been handed down to future generations in her letters\" (Inst. Orat. 1.1.6).4While Cicero's reference to Cornelia's lettersmake it clear that elite Romans of the time period were familiar with Cornelia's writings, today's historians are divided about whether today's surviving fragmentsare authentically Cornelia's words. Instead, the fragments are likely to have been propaganda circulated by the elite optimate faction of Roman politics, who wereopposed to the populist reforms of Cornelia's sons. The letters appear to present Cornelia (a woman with considerable cultural cachet) as opposed to her son'sreforms, and Gaius as a rash radical detached from either the well-being of the Roman Republic or the wishes of his respected mother—meaning that thesurviving fragments could either be outright contemporary forgeries or significantly altered versions of what Cornelia actually wrote.The Cornelia statueAfter herdeath, a marble statue of Cornelia was erected, but only the base has survived; it is \"the first likeness of a secular Roman woman set up by her contemporaries ina public space\". Her statue endured during the revolutionary reign of Sulla, and she became a model for future Roman women culminating with the portrait saidto be of Helena, Emperor Constantine's mother, four hundred years later. Later, anti-populist conservatives filed away the reference to her sons and replaced itwith a reference to her as the daughter of Africanus rather than the mother of the Grachii.Changing legacy over timeThe historical Cornelia remains somewhatelusive. The figure portrayed in Roman literature likely represents more what she signified to Roman writers than an objective account. This significance changed"} +{"doc_id":"doc_210","qid":"","text":"Passage 1:John III, Duke of BrabantJohn III (Dutch: Jan; 1300 – 5 December 1355) was Duke of Brabant, Lothier (1312–1355) and Limburg (1312–1347 then1349–1355). He was the son of John II, Duke of Brabant, and Margaret of England.John and the towns of BrabantThe early fourteenth century, a period ofeconomic boom for Brabant, marks the rise of the duchy's towns, which depended on imports of English wool for their essential cloth industry. During John'sminority, the major towns of Brabant had the authority to appoint councillors to direct a regency, under terms of the Charter of Kortenberg granted by his fatherin the year of his death (1312). By 1356 his daughter and son-in-law were forced to accept the famous Joyous Entry as a condition for their recognition, sopowerful had the states of Brabant become.The marital alignment with France was tested and failed as early as 1316, when Louis X requested Brabant to ceasetrade with Flanders and to participate in a French attack; the councillors representing the towns found this impossible, and in reprisal Louis prohibited all Frenchtrade with Brabant in February 1316, in violation of a treaty of friendship he had signed with Brabant in the previous October.The French alliance, 1332–1337Afterhis initial period of maintaining independent neutrality from both France and England failed, neighbouring sovereigns in the Low Countries, stimulated as a matterof policy by Philip VI of France, became John's enemies; among the adversaries of John were the Count of Flanders, the prince-bishop of Liège, and counts ofHolland and Guelders. In 1332, a crisis with the king of France arose over John's hospitality to Robert, count of Artois, during his journey to eventual asylum atthe English court. In response to French pressure John reminded Philip that he did not hold Brabant from him but from God alone. A brief campaign of a coalitionof Philip's friends came to a truce, followed by a pact at Compiègne by which John received a fief from Philip worth 2000 livres and declared himself a vassal ofFrance. His oldest son, Jean, was betrothed to Philip's daughter Marie, and it was agreed that the Brabançon heir would complete his education at the Frenchcourt in Paris and that Robert of Artois would be expelled from Brabant.The support of France strengthened John's hand with his feudal suzerain, the Holy RomanEmperor. Though he was technically the Emperor's feudal vassal, John had been able to ignore Emperor Louis IV's summons to join him in his intended invasionof Lombardy (1327). The separation of Brabant from the Empire was completed by the Burgundian dukes of Brabant in the fifteenth century.Meanwhile, theprinces of the Low Countries settled their differences and formed a coalition against Brabant with a defensive alliance in June 1333. War was briefly brought to theDuchy of Brabant in the summer of 1334, but resolved by a peace brokered by Philip at Amiens. The French king declared that John had to hand over the town ofTiel and its neighbouring villages Heerewaarden and Zandwijk to the count of Guelders and to betroth his daughter Marie to the count's son, Reinoud.The Englishalliance, 1337–1345When Edward III of England decided to press his claim to the crown of France in 1337, John, who was his first cousin, became an ally ofEngland during the first stage of the Hundred Years' War. King Edward's diplomatic offensive to draw Brabant away from France, produced a sympatheticresponse from Duke John. Disrupting the staple connection between the towns of Flanders and the sources of English wool should divert it to the towns ofBrabant, notably the recently established wool exchange. Edward protected Brabançon merchants in England from arrest or the confiscation of their goods, andhe sweetened his offers with a promise of £60,000, an immense sum, and to make good any losses of revenue that might result from penalties by the king ofFrance. The same month of July 1337 John promised Edward 1,200 of his men-at-arms in the event of an English campaign in France, Edward to pay their salary.In August Edward pledged not to negotiate with the king without prior consultation with the duke. The alliance, kept secret at John's insistence, came into theopen when Edward landed with his troops at Antwerp July 1338. John received the promised subsidy (March 1339) and agreed in June to betroth John's seconddaughter, Margaret, to Edward, the Black Prince, heir to the English throne. Two seasons of inconclusive campaigning that ravaged the north of France leftEdward penniless at the end of 1341; he returned home, and when he returned to the fray, it was to Brittany: he never returned to the Low Countries.The Frenchalliance, 1345–1355Though John was requesting papal dispensation for the marriage of Margaret and the Black Prince in 1343, the alliance with Englandunravelled as Edward's coffers emptied and his attentions turned elsewhere. In September 1345 representative of France and Brabant met at the Château deSaint-Germain-en-Laye to sign preliminary agreements, and by a treaty signed at Saint-Quentin, June 1347, Brabant was retained as an ally by France. Margaretwas now to marry Louis of Male, who had inherited the title of count of Flanders, but whose power over the Flemish communes was virtually nil. A point of disputewith the count of Flanders had been the Lordship of Mechelen, a strategic enclave within Brabant: it was agreed that it would now come under full Brabançoncontrol. Despite the diplomacy of Edward, John remained true to his French commitments until his death in December 1355.FamilyIn 1311, as his father's gestureof rapprochement with France, John married Marie d'Évreux (1303–1335), the daughter of Count Louis d'Évreux and Margaret of Artois. They had sixchildren:Joanna, Duchess of Brabant (24 June 1322 – 1406).

Havingspent his last years in Aix-en-Provence, he is known in France as the Good King René (Occitan: Rei Rainièr lo Bòn; French: Le bon roi René).René was a memberof the House of Valois-Anjou, a cadet branch of the French royal house, and the great-grandson of John II of France. He was a prince of the blood, and for mostof his adult life also the brother-in-law of the reigning king Charles VII of France. Other than the aforementioned titles, he was for several years also Duke of Barand Duke of Lorraine.BiographyRené was born on 16 January 1409 in the castle of Angers. He was the second son of Duke Louis II of Anjou, King of Naples, byYolanda of Aragon. René was the brother of Marie of Anjou, who married the future Charles VII and became Queen of France.Louis II died in 1417 and his sons,together with their brother-in-law Charles, were brought up under the guardianship of their mother. The elder son, Louis III, succeeded to the crown of Sicily andthe Duchy of Anjou; René then became Count of Guise. In 1419, when René was only ten, he was legally married to Isabella, elder daughter of Charles II, Dukeof Lorraine.René, then only ten, was to be brought up in Lorraine under the guardianship of Charles II and Louis, cardinal of Bar, both of whom were attached tothe Burgundian party, but he retained the right to bear the arms of Anjou. He was far from sympathizing with the Burgundians. Joining the French army at Reimsin 1429, he was present at the consecration of Charles VII. When Louis of Bar died in 1430, René inherited the duchy of Bar. The next year, on his father-in-law'sdeath, he succeeded to the duchy of Lorraine. The inheritance was contested by the heir-male, Antoine de Vaudemont, who with Burgundian help defeated Renéat Bulgneville in July 1431. The Duchess Isabella effected a truce with Antoine, but the duke remained a prisoner of the Burgundians until April 1432, when herecovered his liberty on parole on yielding up as hostages his two sons, John and Louis.René's title as duke of Lorraine was confirmed by his suzerain, HolyRoman Emperor Sigismund, at Basel in 1434. This proceeding roused the anger of the Burgundian duke, Philip the Good, who required him early in the next yearto return to his prison, from which he was released two years later on payment of a heavy ransom. At the death of his brother Louis III in 1435, he succeeded tothe Duchy of Anjou and County of Maine.

Her art inspired Ballew to consider making musicthat \"sounded like her art looked\" as he has said. Ballew began writing original songs and digging up nursery rhymes and folk songs in the public domain tointerpret and make his own. The first album, Here I Am!, was recorded during the summer of 2008 and released in February 2009.Ballew began to perform soloas Caspar Babypants in the Seattle area in January 2009. Fred Northup, a Seattle-based comedy improvisor, heard the album and offered to play as his livepercussionist. Northrup also suggested his frequent collaborator Ron Hippe as a keyboard player. \"Frederick Babyshirt\" and \"Ronald Babyshoes\" were the CasparBabypants live band from May 2009 to April 2012. Both Northup and Hippe appear on some of his recordings but since April 2012 Caspar Babypants hasexclusively performed solo. The reasons for the change were to include more improvisation in the show and to reduce the sound levels so that very youngchildren and newborns could continue to attend without being overstimulated. Ballew has made two albums of Beatles covers as Caspar Babypants. Baby Beatles!came out in September 2013 and Beatles Baby! came out in September 2015.Ballew runs the Aurora Elephant Music record label, books shows, produces,records, and masters the albums himself.

He is remembered as the father of Harold Beauchamp, who rose to fame as chairman of the Bank of New Zealand and was the father of writer Katherine Mansfield.BiographyBeauchamp came to Nelson from Australia on the Lalla Rookh, arriving on 23 February 1861.He lived much of his life in a number of locations around the top of the South Island, also Whanganui when Harold was 11 for seven years and then to the capital (Wellington). Then south to Christchurch and finally Picton and the Sounds. He had business failures and was bankrupted twice, in 1879 and 1884. He married Mary Stanley on the Victorian goldfields in 1854; Arthur and Mary lived in 18 locations over half a century, and are buried in Picton. Six of their ten children born between 1855 and 1893 died, including the first two sons born before Harold.Beauchamp represented the Picton electorate from 1866 to 1867, when he resigned. He had the energy and sociability required for politics, but not the private income then required to be a parliamentarian. He supported the working man and the subdivision of big estates, opposed the confiscation of Māori land and was later recognised as a founding Liberal, the party that Harold supported and was a \"fixer\" for. Yska calls their life an extended chronicle of rootlessness, business failure and almost ceaseless family tragedy and Harold called his father a rolling stone by instinct. Arthur also served on the council of Marlborough Province and is best-remembered for a 10-hour speech to that body when an attempt was made to relocate the capital from Picton to Blenheim.In 1866 he attempted to sue the Speaker of the House, David Monro. At the time the extent of privilege held by Members of Parliament was unclear; a select committee ruled that the case could proceed, but with a stay until after the parliamentary session.See alsoYska, Redmer (2017).

He was the father of Obata Masamori.See alsoIsao ObataPassage 3:John Templeton (botanist)John Templeton (1766–1825) was a pioneering Irish naturalist, sometimes referred to as the \"Father of Irish Botany\". He was a leading figure in Belfast's late eighteenth century enlightenment, initially supported the United Irishmen, and figured prominently in the town's scientific and literary societies.FamilyTempleton was born in Belfast in 1766, the son of James Templeton, a prosperous wholesale merchant, and his wife Mary Eleanor, daughter of Benjamin Legg, a sugar refiner. The family resided in a 17th century country house to the south of the town, which been named Orange Grove in honour of William of Orange who had stopped at the house en route to his victory over James II at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690.Until the age of 16 Templeton attended a progressive, co-educational, school favoured by the town's liberal, largely Presbyterian, merchant class. Schoolmaster David Manson sought to exclude \"drudgery and fear\" by combining classroom instruction with play and experiential learning. Templeton counted among his schoolfellows brother and sister Henry Joy and Mary Ann McCracken, and maintained a warm friendship with them throughout his life.In 1799, Templeton married Katherine Johnson of Seymour Hill. Her family had been touched by the United Irish rebellion the previous year: her brother-in-law, Henry Munro, commander of the United army at the Battle of Ballynahinch, had been hanged. The couple had five children: Ellen, born on 30 September 1800, Robert, born on 12 December 1802, Catherine, born on 19 July 1806, Mary, born on 9 December 1809 and Matilda on 2 November 1813.The union between the two already prosperous merchant families provided more than ample means enabling Templeton to devote himself passionately to the study of natural history.United IrishmanLike many of his liberal Presbyterian peers in Belfast, Templeton was sympathetic to the programme and aims of the Society United Irishmen: Catholic Emancipation and democratic reform of the Irish Parliament. But it was several years before he was persuaded to take the United Irish \"test\" or pledge. In March 1797 his friend, Mary Ann McCracken, wrote to her brother: [A] certain Botanical friend of ours whose steady and inflexible mind is invulnerable to any other weapon but reason, and only to be moved by conviction has at last turned his attention from the vegetable kingdom to the human species and after pondering the matter for some months, is at last determined to become what he ought to have been months ago.She hoped his sisters would \"soon follow him.\" Having committed himself to the patriotic union of Catholic, Protestant and Dissenter, Templeton changed the name of the family home from loyalist Orange Grove to Irish \"Cranmore\" (crann mór, 'big tree').Templeton was disenchanted by the Rebellion of 1798, and mindful of events in France , repelled by the violence. He nonetheless withdrew from the Belfast Literary Society, of which he had been a founding member in 1801, rather than accept the continued presence of Dr. James MacDonnell. MacDonnell's offence had been to subscribe forty guineas in 1803 for the capture (leading to execution) of the unreformed rebel Thomas Russell who had been their mutual friend. (While unable to \"forget the amiable Russell\", time, he conceded, \"softened a little my feelings\": in 1825, Templeton and MacDonnell met and shook hands).GardenThe garden at Cranmore spread over 13-acre garden was planted with exotic and native species acquired on botanical excursions, from fellow botanists, nurseries, botanical gardens and abroad: \"Received yesterday a large chest of East Indian plants which I examined today.\" \"Box from Mr. Taylor\".Other plants arrived, often as seeds from North America, Australia, India, China and other parts of the British Empire Cranmore also served as a small animal farm.for experimental animal husbandry and a kitchen garden.BotanistJohn Templeton's interest in botany began with this experimental garden laid out according to a suggestion in Rousseau's 'Nouvelle Heloise' and following Rousseau's 'Letters on the Elements of Botany Here he cultivated many tender exotics out of doors (a list provided by Nelson and began botanical studies which lasted throughout his life and corresponded with the most eminent botanists in England Sir William Hooker, William Turner, James Sowerby and, especially Sir Joseph Banks, who had travelled on Captain James Cook's voyages, and in charge of Kew Gardens. Banks tried (unsuccessfully) to tempt him to New Holland (Australia) as a botanist on the Flinders's Expedition with the offer of a large tract of land and a substantial salary. An associate of the Linnean Society, Templeton visited London and saw the botanical work being achieved there. This led to his promotion of the Belfast Botanic Gardens as early as 1809, and to work on a Catalogue of Native Irish Plants, in manuscript form and now in the Royal Irish Academy, which was used as an accurate foundation for later work by succeeding Irish botanists. He also assembled text and executed many beautiful watercolour drawings for a Flora Hibernica, sadly never finished, and kept a detailed journal during the years 1806–1825 (both now in the Ulster Museum, Belfast).[1] Of the 12000 algal specimens in the Ulster Museum Herbarium about 148 are in the Templeton collection and were mostly collected by him, some were collected by others and passed to Templeton. The specimens in the Templeton collection in the Ulster Museum (BEL) have been catalogued. Those noted in 1967 were numbered: F1 – F48. Others were in The Queen's University Belfast. All of Templeton's specimens have now been numbered in the Ulster Museum as follows: F190 – F264; F290 – F314 and F333 – F334.Templeton was the first finder of Rosa hibernicaThis rose, although collected by Templeton in 1795, remained undescribed until 1803 when he published a short diagnosis in the Transactions of the Dublin Society.Early additions to the flora of Ireland include Sisymbrium Ligusticum seoticum (1793), Adoxa moschatellina (1820), Orobanche rubra and many other plants. His work on lichens was the basis of this secton of Flora Hiberica by James Townsend Mackay who wrote of him The foregoing account of the Lichens of Ireland would have been still more incomplete, but for the extensive collection of my lamented friend, the late Mr. John Templeton, of Cranmore, near Belfast, which his relict, Mrs. Templeton, most liberally placed at my disposal. I believe that thirty years ago his acquirements in the Natural History of organised beings rivalled that of any individual in Europe : these were by no means limited to diagnostic marks, but extended to all the laws and modifications of the living force. The frequent quotation of his authority in every preceding department of this Flora, is but a brief testimony of his diversified knowledgeBotanical ManuscriptsThe MSS. left by Templeton consist of seven volumes. One of these is a small 8vo. half bound ; it is in the Library of the Royal Irish Academy, and contains 280 pp. of lists of Cryptogams, chiefly mosses, with their localities. In this book is inserted a letter from Miss F. M. More, sister of Alexander Goodman More, to Dr. Edward Perceval Wright, Secretary, Royal Irish Academy, dated March, 1897, in which she says—‘*‘ The Manuscript which accompanies this letter was drawn up between 1794 and 1810, by the eminent naturalist, John Templeton, in Belfast. It was lent by his son, Dr. R. Templeton, to my brother, Alex. G. More, when he was preparing the second edition of the ‘ Cybele Hibernica,’ on condition that it should be placed in the Library of the Royal Irish Academy afterwards.\" The other six volumes are quarto size, and contain 1,090 folios, with descriptions of many of the plants, and careful drawings in pen and pencil and colours of many species.

Although he succeeded his father in 1383, he had to share power with his mother. In 1384, in order to suppress a revolt against his relative Edward of Savoy, Bishop of Sion, Amadeus led an army that attacked and pillaged Sion. In 1388, he acquired territories in eastern Provence and the port city of Nice, thus giving the County of Savoy access to the Mediterranean Sea.Amadeus died from tetanus on 1 November 1391, as a result of a hunting accident. Upon his death, controversy arose because of his will. Amadeus left the important role of guardian of his son and heir, Amadeus VIII, to his own mother, a sister of the powerful Duke de Bourbon, instead of following the tradition of appointing the child's mother, who was a daughter of the equally powerful Duke de Berry. Due to the dispute between his mother and his wife, rumors that Amadeus had been poisoned emerged soon after his death. It took three months of negotiations to restore peace in the family.Amadeus was known for his hospitality, for he would entertain people of all stations and never turned a person from his table without a meal.Marriage and childrenAmadeus married Bonne of Berry, daughter of John, Duke of Berry, who was the younger brother of King Charles V of France. They had three children: Amadeus VIII, later known as Antipope Felix V, married Mary of Burgundy (1380–1422), daughter of Philip the Bold.Bonne (d. 1432), married Louis of Piedmont, the final of the Savoy-Achaea Branch.Joan (d. 1460), married Giangiacomo Paleologo, marquis of Montferrat.NotesPassage 7:Henry KrauseHenry J. \"Red\" Krause, Jr. (August 28, 1913 – February 20, 1987) was an American football offensive lineman in the National Football League for the Brooklyn Dodgers and the Washington Redskins. He played college football at St. Louis University.Passage 8:Amadeus VIII, Duke of SavoyAmadeus VIII (4 September 1383 – 7 January 1451), nicknamed the Peaceful, was Count of Savoy from 1391 to 1416 and Duke of Savoy from 1416 to 1440. He was the son of Amadeus VII, Count of Savoy and Bonne of Berry. He was a claimant to the papacy from 1439 to 1449 as Felix V in opposition to Popes Eugene IV and Nicholas V, and is considered the last historical antipope.Count and dukeAmadeus was born in Chambéry on 4 September 1383. He became count of Savoy in 1391 after his father's death, with his mother acting as regent until 1397, during his minority reign. His early rule saw the centralization of power and the territorial expansion of the Savoyard state, and in 1416 Amadeus was elevated by Emperor Sigismund to duke of Savoy. In 1418, his distant cousin Louis of Piedmont, his brother-in-law, the last male of the elder branch of House of Savoy, died, leaving Amadeus as his heir-general, thus finally uniting the male-lines of the House of Savoy.Amadeus increased his dominions and encouraged several attempts to negotiate an end to the Hundred Years' War. From 1401 to 1422, he campaigned to recover the area around Geneva and Annecy. After the death of his wife in 1428, he founded the Order of Saint Maurice with six other knights in 1434. They lived alone in the castle of Ripaille, near Geneva, in a quasi-monastic state according to a rule drawn up by himself. He appointed his son Louis regent of the duchy.AntipopeAmadeus was sympathetic to conciliarism, the movement to have the Church managed by Ecumenical councils, and to prelates like Cardinal Aleman of Arles, who wanted to set limits upon the doctrine of Papal supremacy. He had close relations with the Council of Basel (1431–1449), even after most of its members joined the Council of Florence, convened by Pope Eugene IV in 1438. The Cardinal of Arles reminded the Council that they needed a rich and powerful pope to defend it from its adversaries. The rump council at Basel elected Amadeus as Pope Felix V in October 1439. After long negotiations with a deputation from the council, Amadeus acquiesced in the election on 5 February 1440. He took the inaugural oath formulated by the Basel council; the only pope or antipope to do so. At the same time, he completely renounced all further participation in the government of his domains: he named his son Louis Duke of Savoy, and his son Philip Count of Geneva. He is also credited with formalizing the academic lectures held in Basel by establishing a University for the Clergy which would eventually lead to the foundation of the University of Basel in 1460.There is no evidence that he intrigued to obtain the papal office by sending the bishops of Savoy to Basel.

He was a descendant of the ancestor of his tribe, Kayı son of Gun son of Oghuz Khagan, the legendary progenitor of the Oghuz Turks.Passage 3:Abd al-MuttalibShayba ibn Hāshim (Arabic: \u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000 \u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000 \u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000; c. 497–578), better known as \u0000Abd al-Mu\u0000\u0000alib, (Arabic: \u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000 \u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000, lit. 'Servant of Muttalib') was the fourth chief of the Quraysh tribal confederation. He was the grandfather of the Islamic prophet Muhammad.Early lifeHis father was Hashim ibn 'Abd Manaf,: 81 the progenitor of the distinguished Banu Hashim, a clan of the Quraysh tribe of Mecca. They claimed descent from Ismā'īl and Ibrāhīm. His mother was Salma bint Amr, from the Banu Najjar, a clan of the Khazraj tribe in Yathrib (later called Madinah). Hashim died while doing business in Gaza, before Abd al-Muttalib was born.: 81 His real name was \"Shaiba\" meaning 'the ancient one' or 'white-haired' because of the streak of white through his jet-black hair, and is sometimes also called Shaybah al-\u0000amd (\"The white streak of praise\").: 81–82 After his father's death he was raised in Yathrib with his mother and her family until about the age of eight, when his uncle Muttalib ibn Abd Manaf went to see him and asked his mother Salmah to entrust Shaybah to his care. Salmah was unwilling to let her son go and Shaiba refused to leave his mother without her consent. Mu\u0000\u0000alib then pointed out that the possibilities Yathrib had to offer were incomparable to Mecca. Salmah was impressed with his arguments, so she agreed to let him go. Upon first arriving in Mecca, the people assumed the unknown child was Muttalib's servant and started calling him 'Abd al-Muttalib (\"servant of Muttalib\").: 85–86Chieftain of Hashim clanWhen Mu\u0000\u0000alib died, Shaiba succeeded him as the chief of the Hāshim clan. Following his uncle Al-Mu\u0000\u0000alib, he took over the duties of providing the pilgrims with food and water, and carried on the practices of his forefathers with his people. He attained such eminence as none of his forefathers enjoyed; his people loved him and his reputation was great among them.: 61 'Umar ibn Al-Kha\u0000\u0000āb's grandfather Nufayl ibn Abdul Uzza arbitrated in a dispute between 'Abdul-Mu\u0000\u0000alib and \u0000arb ibn Umayyah, Abu Sufyan's father, over the custodianship of the Kaaba. Nufayl gave his verdict in favour of 'Abdul-Mu\u0000\u0000alib. Addressing \u0000arb ibn Umayyah, he said:Why do you pick a quarrel with a person who is taller than you in stature; more imposing than you in appearance; more refined than you in intellect; whose progeny outnumbers yours and whose generosity outshines yours in lustre? Do not, however, construe this into any disparagement of your good qualities which I highly appreciate. You are as gentle as a lamb, you are renowned throughout Arabia for the stentorian tones of your voice, and you are an asset to your tribe.Discovery of Zam Zam Well'Abdul-Mu\u0000\u0000alib said that while sleeping in the sacred enclosure, he had dreamed he was ordered to dig at the worship place of the Quraysh between the two deities Isāf and Nā'ila. There he would find the Zamzam Well, which the Jurhum tribe had filled in when they left Mecca. The Quraysh tried to stop him digging in that spot, but his son Al-\u0000ārith stood guard until they gave up their protests. After three days of digging, 'Abdul-Mu\u0000\u0000alib found traces of an ancient religious well and exclaimed, \"Allahuakbar!\" Some of the Quraysh disputed his claim to sole rights over water, then one of them suggested that they go to a female shaman who lived afar. It was said that she could summon jinns and that she could help them decide who was the owner of the well. So, 11 people from the 11 tribes went on the expedition. They had to cross the desert to meet the priestess but then they got lost. There was a lack of food and water and people started to lose hope of ever getting out. One of them suggested that they dig their own graves and if they died, the last person standing would bury the others. So all began digging their own graves and just as Abdul-Mu\u0000\u0000alib started digging, water spewed out from the hole he dug and everyone became overjoyed. It was then and there decided that Abdul-Muttalib was the owner of the Zam Zam well. Thereafter he supplied pilgrims to the Kaaba with Zam Zam water, which soon eclipsed all the other wells in Mecca because it was considered sacred.: 86–89 : 62–65The Year of the ElephantAccording to Muslim tradition, the Ethiopian governor of Yemen, Abrahah al-Ashram, envied the Kaaba's reverence among the Arabs and, being a Christian, he built a cathedral on Sana'a and ordered pilgrimage be made there.: 21 The order was ignored and someone desecrated (some saying in the form of defecation: 696 note 35 ) the cathedral. Abrahah decided to avenge this act by demolishing the Kaaba and he advanced with an army towards Mecca.: 22–23 There were thirteen elephants in Abrahah's army: 99 : 26 and the year came to be known as 'Ām al-Fīl (the Year of the Elephant), beginning a trend for reckoning the years in Arabia which was used until 'Umar ibn Al-Kha\u0000\u0000āb replaced it with the Islamic Calendar in 638 CE (17 AH), with the first year of the Islamic Calendar being 622 CE.When news of the advance of Abrahah's army came, the Arab tribes of Quraysh, Kinānah, Khuzā'ah and Hudhayl united in defence of the Kaaba. A man from the \u0000imyar tribe was sent by Abrahah to advise them that he only wished to demolish the Kaaba and if they resisted, they would be crushed. \"Abdul-Mu\u0000\u0000alib told the Meccans to seek refuge in the nearest high hills while he, with some leading members of Quraysh, remained within the precincts of the Kaaba. Abrahah sent a dispatch inviting 'Abdul-Mu\u0000\u0000alib to meet him and discuss matters. When 'Abdul-Mu\u0000\u0000alib left the meeting he was heard saying, \"The Owner of this House is its Defender, and I am sure He will save it from the attack of the adversaries and will not dishonour the servants of His House.\": 24–26 It is recorded that when Abrahah's forces neared the Kaaba, Allah commanded small birds (abābīl) to destroy Abrahah's army, raining down pebbles on it from their beaks. Abrahah was seriously wounded and retreated towards Yemen but died on the way.: 26–27 This event is referred to in the following Qur'anic chapter:Have you not seen how your Lord dealt with the owners of the Elephant?Did He not make their treacherous plan go astray?And He sent against them birds in flocks, striking them with stones of baked clay, so He rendered them like straw eaten up.Most Islamic sources place the event around the year that Muhammad was born, 570 CE, though other scholars place it one or two decades earlier. A tradition attributed to Ibn Shihab al-Zuhri in the musannaf of \u0000Abd al-Razzaq al-San\u0000ani places it before the birth of Muhammad's father.Sacrificing his son AbdullahAl-Harith was 'Abdul-Mu\u0000\u0000alib's only son at the time he dug the Zamzam Well.: 64 When the Quraysh tried to help him in the digging, he vowed that if he were to have ten sons to protect him, he would sacrifice one of them to Allah at the Kaaba. Later, after nine more sons had been born to him, he told them he must keep the vow. The divination arrows fell upon his favourite son Abdullah. The Quraysh protested 'Abdul-Mu\u0000\u0000alib's intention to sacrifice his son and demanded that he sacrifice something else instead. 'Abdul-Mu\u0000\u0000alib agreed to consult a \"sorceress with a familiar spirit\". She told him to cast lots between Abdullah and ten camels. If Abdullah were chosen, he had to add ten more camels, and keep on doing the same until his Lord accepted the camels in Abdullah's place. When the number of camels reached 100, the lot fell on the camels. 'Abdul-Mu\u0000\u0000alib confirmed this by repeating the test three times. Then the camels were sacrificed, and Abdullah was spared.: 66–68FamilyWivesAbd al-Muttalib had six known wives.Sumra bint Jundab of the Hawazin tribe.Lubnā bint Hājar of the Khuza'a tribe.Fatima bint Amr of the Makhzum clan of the Quraysh tribe.Halah bint Wuhayb of the Zuhrah clan of the Quraysh tribe.Natīla bint Janab of the Namir tribe.Mumanna'a bint Amr of the Khuza'a tribe.ChildrenAccording to Ibn Hisham, \u0000Abd al-Mu\u0000\u0000alib had ten sons and six daughters.: 707–708 note 97 However, Ibn Sa'd lists twelve sons.: 99–101 By Sumra bint Jundab:Al-\u0000ārith.: 708 He was the firstborn and he died before his father.: 99 Quthum.: 100 He is not listed by Ibn Hisham.By Fatima bint Amr:Al-Zubayr.: 707 He was a poet and a chief; his father made a will in his favour.: 99 He died before Islam, leaving two sons and daughters.: 101 : 34–35 Abu Talib, born as Abd Manaf,: 99 : 707 father of the future Caliph Ali.

He took five wickets in the match (his maiden victim being KenSuttle) and then held on for 4 not out with Peter Richardson (20 not out) to add the 12 runs needed for a one-wicket victory after his county had collapsed from192 for 2 to 238 for 9. A week later he claimed four wickets against Warwickshire, then a few days later still he managed 6 for 52 (five of his victims bowled) inwhat was otherwise a disastrous innings defeat to Derbyshire.

AD 246/248– c. 330), also known as Helena of Constantinople and Saint Helena, wasan Augusta of the Roman Empire and mother of Emperor Constantine the Great. She was born in the lower classes traditionally in the Greek city of Drepanon,Bithynia, in Asia Minor, which was renamed Helenopolis in her honor, though several locations have been proposed for her birthplace and origin.Helena ranks asan important figure in the history of Christianity. In her final years, she made a religious tour of Syria Palaestina and Jerusalem, during which ancient traditionclaims that she discovered the True Cross. The Eastern Orthodox Church, Catholic Church, Oriental Orthodox Churches, and Anglican Communion revere her as asaint, and the Lutheran Church commemorates her.Early lifeSources agree that Helena was a Greek, probably from Asia Minor in modern Turkey. Her birthplace isnot known with certainty, but Helenopolis, then Drepanum, in Bithynia is, following Procopius, \"generally assumed\" to be the place. Her name is attested on coinsas Flavia Helena, Flavia Julia Helena and sometimes Aelena. Joseph Vogt suggested that the name Helena was typical for the Greek-speaking part of the RomanEmpire and that therefore her place of origin should be looked for in the eastern provinces of the Roman Empire. The 6th-century historian Procopius is theearliest authority for the statement that Helena was a native of Drepanum, in the province of Bithynia in Asia Minor. The name Helena appears in all areas of theEmpire, but is not epigraphically attested in inscriptions of Bithynia (Helena's proposed region of origin) and it was also common in Latin-speaking areas.Procopius lived much later than the era he was describing and his description may have been actually intended as an etymological explanation about the toponymHelenopolis. On the other hand, her son Constantine renamed the city \"Helenopolis\" after her death around AD 330, which supports the belief that the city wasindeed her birthplace. The Byzantinist Cyril Mango has, however, argued that Helenopolis was refounded to strengthen the communication network aroundConstantine's new capital in Constantinople, and was renamed simply to honor Helena, not to necessarily mark her birthplace. There was also a Helenopolis inPalestine and a Helenopolis in Lydia. These cities, and the province of Helenopontus in the Pontus, were probably all named after Constantine's mother. Two otherlocations in France and the Pyrenees have been named after Helena. Equally uncertain to Drepanum and without strong documentation suggestions about herbirthplace are: Naissus (central Balkans), Caphar or Edessa (Mesopotamia), Trier.The bishop and historian Eusebius of Caesarea states that Helena was about 80on her return from Palestine. Since that journey has been dated to 326–28, she was probably born around 246 to 249. Information about her social backgrounduniversally suggests that she came from the lower classes. Fourth-century sources, following Eutropius' Breviarium, record that she came from a humblebackground. Bishop Ambrose of Milan, writing in the late 4th century was the first to call her a stabularia, a term translated as \"stable-maid\" or \"inn-keeper\". Hemakes this comment a virtue, calling Helena a bona stabularia, a \"good stable-maid\", probably to contrast her with the general suggestion of sexual laxnessconsidered typical of that group. Other sources, especially those written after Constantine's proclamation as emperor, gloss over or ignore her background.BothGeoffrey of Monmouth and Henry of Huntingdon promoted a popular tradition that Helena was a British princess and the daughter of \"Old King Cole\" from thearea of Colchester. This led to the later dedication of 135 churches in England to her, many in around the area of Yorkshire, and revived as a suggestion in the20th century in the novel by Evelyn Waugh.Marriage to Emperor ConstantiusIt is unknown where she first met Constantius. The historian Timothy Barnes hassuggested that Constantius, while serving under Emperor Aurelian, could have met her while stationed in Asia Minor for the campaign against Zenobia. It is saidthat upon meeting they were wearing identical silver bracelets; Constantius saw her as his soulmate sent by God. Barnes calls attention to an epitaph atNicomedia of one of Aurelian's protectors, which could indicate the emperor's presence in the Bithynian region soon after AD 270. The precise legal nature of therelationship between Helena and Constantius is also unknown. The sources are equivocal on the point, sometimes calling Helena Constantius' \"wife\", andsometimes, following the dismissive propaganda of Constantine's rival Maxentius, calling her his \"concubine\". Jerome, perhaps confused by the vague terminologyof his own sources, manages to do both.Some scholars, such as the historian Jan Drijvers, assert that Constantius and Helena were joined in a common-lawmarriage, a cohabitation recognized in fact but not in law. Others, like Timothy Barnes, assert that Constantius and Helena were joined in an official marriage, onthe grounds that the sources claiming an official marriage are more reliable.Helena gave birth to the future emperor Constantine I on 27 February of an uncertainyear soon after 270 (probably around 272). At the time, she was in Naissus (Niš, Serbia). In order to obtain a wife more consonant with his rising status,Constantius divorced Helena some time before 289, when he married Theodora, Maximian's daughter under his command. The narrative sources date themarriage to 293, when Constantius was appointed caesar (heir-apparent) of Maximian, but the Latin panegyric of 289 refers to the new couple as alreadymarried. Helena and her son were dispatched to the court of Diocletian at Nicomedia, where Constantine grew to be a member of the inner circle. Helena neverremarried and lived for a time in obscurity, though close to her only son, who had a deep regard and affection for her.After Constantine's ascension to thethroneConstantine was proclaimed augustus (emperor) in 306 by Constantius' troops after the latter had died, and following his elevation his mother was broughtback to the public life in 312, returning to the imperial court. She appears in the Eagle Cameo portraying Constantine's family, probably commemorating the birthof Constantine's son Constantine II in the summer of 316.She lived in the Horti Spei Veteris in Rome which she converted into an even more luxuriouspalace.Pilgrimage and relic discoveriesConstantine appointed his mother Helena as Augusta, and gave her unlimited access to the imperial treasury in order tolocate the relics of the Christian tradition. In AD 326–28 Helena undertook a trip to Palestine. According to Eusebius of Caesarea, who records the details of herpilgrimage to Palestine and other eastern provinces, and Socrates Scholasticus, she was responsible for the construction or beautification of the Church of theNativity in Bethlehem, and the Church of Eleona on the Mount of Olives; sites of Christ's birth and ascension, respectively. Local founding legend attributes toHelena's orders the construction of a church in Egypt to identify the Burning Bush of Sinai. The chapel at Saint Catherine's Monastery—often referred to as theChapel of Saint Helen—is dated to the year 330.The True Cross and the Church of the Holy SepulchreJerusalem was still being rebuilt following the destructioncaused by Titus in AD 70. Emperor Hadrian had built during the 130s a temple to Venus over the supposed site of Jesus' tomb near Calvary, and renamed the cityAelia Capitolina. Accounts differ concerning whether the temple was dedicated to Venus or Jupiter. According to Eusebius, \"[t]here was a temple of Venus on thespot. This the queen (Helena) had destroyed.\" According to tradition, Helena ordered the temple torn down and, according to the legend that arose at the end ofthe 4th century, chose a site to begin excavating, which led to the recovery of three different crosses. The legend is recounted in Ambrose, On the Death ofTheodosius (died 395) and at length in Rufinus' chapters appended to his translation into Latin of Eusebius's Ecclesiastical History, the main body of which doesnot mention the event. Then, Rufinus relates, the empress refused to be swayed by anything short of solid proof and performed a test. Possibly through BishopMacarius of Jerusalem, she had a woman who was near death brought from the city. When the woman touched the first and second crosses, her condition did notchange, but when she touched the third and final cross she suddenly recovered, and Helena declared the cross with which the woman had been touched to be theTrue Cross.On the site of discovery, Constantine ordered the building of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. Churches were also built on other sites detected byHelena.The \"Letter From Constantine to Macarius of Jerusalem\", as presented in Eusebius' Life of Constantine, states:\"Such is our Saviour's grace, that no powerof language seems adequate to describe the wondrous circumstance to which I am about to refer. For, that the monument of his [Christ's] most holy Passion, solong ago buried beneath the ground, should have remained unknown for so long a series of years, until its reappearance to his servants now set free through theremoval of him who was the common enemy of all, is a fact which truly surpasses all admiration. I have no greater care than how I may best adorn with asplendid structure that sacred spot, which, under Divine direction, I have disencumbered as it were of the heavy weight of foul idol worship [the Roman temple];a spot which has been accounted holy from the beginning in God’s judgment, but which now appears holier still, since it has brought to light a clear assurance ofour Saviour’s passion.\"Sozomen and Theodoret claim that Helena also found the nails of the crucifixion. To use their miraculous power to aid her son, Helenaallegedly had one placed in Constantine's helmet, and another in the bridle of his horse. According to one tradition, Helena acquired the Holy Tunic on her trip toJerusalem and sent it to Trier.CyprusSeveral relics purportedly discovered by Helena are now in Cyprus, where she spent some time. Among them are itemsbelieved to be part of Jesus Christ's tunic, pieces of the holy cross, and pieces of the rope with which Jesus was tied on the Cross. The rope, considered to be theonly relic of its kind, has been held at the Stavrovouni Monastery, which was also said to have been founded by Helena. According to tradition, Helena isresponsible for the large population of cats in Cyprus. Local tradition holds that she imported hundreds of cats from Egypt or Palestine in the fourth century to rida monastery of snakes. The monastery is today known as \"St. Nicholas of the Cats\" (Greek Άγιος Νικόλαος των Γατών) and is located near Limassol.RomeHelenaleft Jerusalem and the eastern provinces in 327 to return to Rome, bringing with her large parts of the True Cross and other relics, which were then stored in herpalace's private chapel, now the Basilica of Santa Croce in Gerusalemme, where they can be still seen today.

He has spent most of his career with Inter Press Service (IPS), the news agency whichhe founded in 1964 along with Argentine journalist Pablo Piacentini.Savio studied Economics at the University of Parma, followed by post-graduate courses inDevelopment Economics under Gunnar Myrdal, History of Art and International Law in Rome. He started his professional career as a research assistant inInternational Law at the University of Parma.Early activitiesWhile at university, Roberto Savio acted as an international officer with Italy’s National StudentAssociation and the Youth Movement of Italy’s Christian Democracy party, eventually taking on responsibility for Christian Democracy’s relations with developingcountries. After leaving university, he became international press chief for former Italian Prime Minister Aldo Moro. After the 1973 Chilean coup d’etat, RobertoSavio left Italian politics to pursue journalism.Early journalistic careerRoberto Savio’s career in journalism began with Italian daily ‘Il Popolo’ and he went on tobecome Director for News Services for Latin America with RAI, Italy’s state broadcasting company. He received a number of awards for TV documentaries,including the Saint-Vincent Award for Journalism, the most prestigious journalism award in Italy.Inter Press Service (IPS)Throughout his student years, RobertoSavio had cultivated an interest in analysing and explaining the huge information and communication gap that existed between the North and the South of theworld, particularly Latin America. Together with Argentine journalist Pablo Piacentini, he decided to create a press agency that would permit Latin American exilesin Europe to write about their countries for a European audience.That agency, which was known in the early days as Roman Press Agency, was the seed for whatwas to become the Inter Press Service (IPS) news agency, which was formally established at a meeting in the Schloss Eichholz conference centre of the KonradAdenauer Foundation (the foundation of the CDU), in Wesseling near Bonn, then the capital city of West Germany.From the outset, it was decided that IPS wouldbe a non-profit cooperative of journalists and its statute declared that two-thirds of the members should come from the South.Roberto Savio gave IPS its uniquemission – “giving a voice to the voiceless” – acting as a communication channel that privileges the voices and the concerns of the poorest and creates a climate ofunderstanding, accountability and participation around development, promoting a new international information order between the South and the North.Theagency grew rapidly throughout the 1970s and 1980s until the dramatic events of 1989-91 – the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the Soviet Union –prompted new goals and definitions: IPS was the first news outlet to identify itself as “global” and define the new concept of neoliberal globalisation ascontributing to the distancing of developing countries from wealth, trade and policy-making.IPS offers communication services to improve South–Southcooperation and South-North exchanges and carries out projects with international partners to open up communication channels to all social sectors.IPS has beenrecognised by the United Nations and granted NGO consultative status (category I) with ECOSOC.With the strengthening of the process of globalisation, IPS hasdedicated itself to global issues, becoming the news agency for global civil society: more than 30,000 NGOs subscribe to its services, and several million peopleare readers of its online services.Under Roberto Savio, IPS won the Washington-based Population Institute’s “most conscientious news service” award nine time inthe 1990s, beating out the major wire services year in and year out.IPS won FAO’s A.H. Boerma Award for journalism in 1997 for its \"significant contribution tocovering sustainable agriculture and rural development in more than 100 countries, filling the information gap between developed and developing countries byfocusing on issues such as rural living, migration, refugees and the plight of women and children\".On the initiative of Roberto Savio, IPS established theInternational Journalism Award in 1985 to honour outstanding journalists whose efforts, and often lives, contributed significantly to exposing human rightsviolations and advancing democracy, most often in developing countries. In 1991, the scope of the award was broadened to reflect the tremendous changestaking place in the world following the historic break-up of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War. The Award, renamed the International AchievementAward, was given in recognition of the work of individuals and organisations that “continue to fight for social and political justice in the new world order”.RobertoSavio is now President Emeritus of IPS and Chairman of the IPS Board of Trustees, which also includes former U.N. Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali,former Portuguese President Mario Soares, former UNESCO Director-General Federico Mayor Zaragoza, former Finnish President and Nobel Peace Prize laureateMartti Ahtisaari, former Costa Rican President and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Oscar Arias and former Japanese Prime Minister Toshiki Kaifue.After stepping downas Director-General of IPS, Roberto Savio has continued his interest in “alternative” communication and information, founding Other News as an internationalnon-governmental association of people concerned about the decline of the information media.Other NewsIn 2008, Roberto Savio launched the online Other Newsservice to provide “information that markets eliminate”.Other News publishes reports that have already appeared in niche media but not in mass circulationmedia, in addition to opinions and analyses from research centres, universities and think tanks – material that is intended to give readers access to news andopinion that they will not find in their local newspapers but which they might wish to read “as citizens who care about a world free from the pernicious effects oftoday’s globalisation”.Other News also distributes daily analysis on international issues, particularly the themes of global governance and multilateralism, toseveral thousand policy-makers and leaders of civil society, in both English and Spanish.Communication initiativesAn internationally renowned expert incommunications issues, Roberto Savio has helped launched numerous communication and information projects, always with an emphasis on the developingworld.Among others, Roberto Savio helped launch the National Information Systems Network (ASIN) for Latin America and the Caribbean, theUNESCO-sponsored Agencia Latinoamericana de Servicios Especiales de Informacion [Latin American Special Information Services Agency] (ALASEI), and theWomen’s Feature Service (WFS), initially an IPS service and now an independent NGO with headquarters in New Delhi.He also founded the TechnologicalInformation Promotion System (TIPS), a major U.N. project to implement and foster technological and economic cooperation among developing countries, and hedeveloped Women into the New Network for Entrepreneurial Reinforcement (WINNER), a TIPS training project aimed at educating and empowering small andmedium woman entrepreneurs in developing countries.

Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC).Roberto Savio has also been actively involved in promoting exchanges between regionalinformation services, such as between ALASEI and the Organisation of Asian News Agencies (OANA) now known as the Organisation of Asia-Pacific NewsAgencies, and between the PanAfrican News Agency (PANA) and the Federation of Arab News Agencies (FANA).Roberto Savio was instrumental in placing theconcept of a Development Press Bulletin Service Tariff on the agenda of UNESCO’s International Commission for the Studyof Communication Problems (MacBrideCommission).Roberto Savio has also worked closely in the field of information and communication with many United Nations organisations, including the UnitedNations Development Programme (UNDP), the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the United Nations Educational, Scientific and CulturalOrganisation (UNESCO), the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and the United Nations Institute for Trainingand Research (UNITAR).Achievements and awardsIn 1970, Roberto Savio received the Saint-Vincent Award for Journalism, the most prestigious journalism awardin Italy, for a five-part series on Latin America which was recognised as “best TV transmission”.He was awarded the Hiroshima Peace Award in 2013 for his“contribution towards the construction of a century of peace by ‘giving voice to the voiceless’ through Inter Press Service for nearly five decades”.

He was the director of the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem for 17 months, resigning December 31, 2020. He was the director of the ToledoMuseum of Art in Ohio from 2010 to 2019. He was the director of the Hood Museum of Art from 2005 to 2010, and the National Gallery of Australia (Canberra)from 1997 to 2004.CareerBrian Kennedy currently lives and works in the United States after leaving Australia in 2005 to direct the Hood Museum of Art atDartmouth College. In October 2010 he became the ninth Director of the Toledo Museum of Art. On 1 July 2019, he succeeded Dan Monroe as the executivedirector and CEO of the Peabody Essex Museum.Early life and career in IrelandKennedy was born in Dublin and attended Clonkeen College. He received B.A.(1982), M.A. (1985) and PhD (1989) degrees from University College-Dublin, where he studied both art history and history.He worked in the Irish Department ofEducation (1982), the European Commission, Brussels (1983), and in Ireland at the Chester Beatty Library (1983–85), Government Publications Office(1985–86), and Department of Finance (1986–89). He married Mary Fiona Carlin in 1988.He was Assistant Director at the National Gallery of Ireland in Dublinfrom 1989 to 1997. He was Chair of the Irish Association of Art Historians from 1996 to 1997, and of the Council of Australian Art Museum Directors from 2001 to2003. In September 1997 he became Director of the National Gallery of Australia.National Gallery of Australia (NGA)Kennedy expanded the traveling exhibitionsand loans program throughout Australia, arranged for several major shows of Australian art abroad, increased the number of exhibitions at the museum itself andoversaw the development of an extensive multi-media site. Although he oversaw several years of the museum's highest ever annual visitation, he discontinuedthe emphasis of his predecessor, Betty Churcher, on showing \"blockbuster\" exhibitions.During his directorship, the NGA gained government support for improvingthe building and significant private donations and corporate sponsorship. However, the initial design for the building proved controversial generating a publicdispute with the original architect on moral rights grounds. As a result, the project was not delivered during Dr Kennedy's tenure, with a significantly altereddesign completed some years later. Private funding supported two acquisitions of British art, including David Hockney's A Bigger Grand Canyon in 1999, andLucian Freud's After Cézanne in 2001. Kennedy built on the established collections at the museum by acquiring the Holmgren-Spertus collection of Indonesiantextiles; the Kenneth Tyler collection of editioned prints, screens, multiples and unique proofs; and the Australian Print Workshop Archive. He was also notable forcampaigning for the construction of a new \"front\" entrance to the Gallery, facing King Edward Terrace, which was completed in 2010 (see reference to thebuilding project above).Kennedy's cancellation of the \"Sensation exhibition\" (scheduled at the NGA from 2 June 2000 to 13 August 2000) was controversial, andseen by some as censorship. He claimed that the decision was due to the exhibition being \"too close to the market\" implying that a national cultural institutioncannot exhibit the private collection of a speculative art investor. However, there were other exhibitions at the NGA during his tenure, which could have raisedsimilar concerns. The exhibition featured the privately owned Young British Artists works belonging to Charles Saatchi and attracted large attendances in Londonand Brooklyn. Its most controversial work was Chris Ofili's The Holy Virgin Mary, a painting which used elephant dung and was accused of being blasphemous.The then-mayor of New York, Rudolph Giuliani, campaigned against the exhibition, claiming it was \"Catholic-bashing\" and an \"aggressive, vicious, disgustingattack on religion.\" In November 1999, Kennedy cancelled the exhibition and stated that the events in New York had \"obscured discussion of the artistic merit ofthe works of art\". He has said that it \"was the toughest decision of my professional life, so far.\"Kennedy was also repeatedly questioned on his management of arange of issues during the Australian Government's Senate Estimates process - particularly on the NGA's occupational health and safety record and concerns"} +{"doc_id":"doc_223","qid":"","text":"Passage 1:Philipp Moritz, Count of Hanau-MünzenbergPhilipp Moritz of Hanau-Münzenberg (25 August 1605 – 3 August 1638 in Hanau) succeeded his father asCount of Hanau-Münzenberg in 1612.LifePhilipp Moritz was the son of Count Philipp Ludwig II of Hanau-Münzenberg and his wife, Princess Catharina Belgica(1578–1648), a daughter of William the Silent.YouthPhilipp Moritz was seven years old when his father died and he inherited Hanau-Münzenberg. His father's willstipulated that his mother, Princess Catharina Belgica of Nassau, should be the sole regent and guardian, and the Imperial Supreme Court confirmed this.At theage of eight, he was sent to the school that had been established after the Reformation in the buildings of the former monastery at Schlüchtern, which is todaythe Ulrich von Hutten-Gymnasium. In 1613, he continued his education at University of Basel (where his grandfather had also studied), in Geneva andSedan.ReignEnd of the regencyCount Philipp Moritz's rule began with an altercation between himself and his mother, Princess Catharina Belgica, about thetermination of the regency and nature and the size of her widow seat. She wanted to act as co-regent, even after his 25th birthday, the age of consent under thecommon law, despite an agreement closed in 1628 and an opinion from the Law Faculty of the University of Marburg. Philipp Moritz, tried to remove his motherfrom the government. They took their case to the Imperial Supreme Court and treated each other rudely; Philipp Moritz even removed his mother from thecountly palace in Hanau. However, he compensated her for this in 1629. They never managed to properly wind up the regency. On the other hand, Philipp Moritzdid manage to settle with his cousin Johann Ernst the fierce dispute which his father had had with Johann Ernst's father, his uncle Albrecht ofHanau-Münzenberg-Schwarzenfels, about the primogeniture and Albrecht's apanage.The Thirty Years' War and exileOne reason the regency was never properlywound up, was the Thirty Years' War, which approached Hanau around 1630. When the Imperial troops reached Hanau, Philipp Moritz chose their side, in order toretain the military command of his capital. He was appointed Colonel and was expected to provide three companies. In November 1631, Swedish troops occupiedHanau and King Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden entered the city. Philipp Moritz decided to change sides. He was a Calvinist and for him choosing between theCatholic Emperor and the Lutheran Swedish king may have been like a choice between Scylla and Charybdis. Gustavus Adolphus appointed him to colonel andgave him a Swedish regiment. As a reward for his changing side, he gave him the district of Orb and the shares the Electorate of Mainz had held in the formerCounty of Rieneck and the districts of Partenstein, Lohrhaupten, Bieber and Alzenau. He gave Philipp Moritz's brothers, Heinrich Ludwig (1609–1632) and JakobJohann (1612–1636) the town and district of Steinheim, which was also a former possession of Mainz. These possessions were lost when the Catholic side gainedthe upper hand after the Battle of Nördlingen in September 1634. Changing sides again would make Philipp Moritz seem untrustworthy, so he decided to flee. Hefled to Metz and from there via Chalon, Rouen and Amsterdam to his Orange-Nassau relatives in the Hague and Delft. He left his youngest brother, Jakob Johann,as regent in Hanau, because Jakob Johann was considered politically neutral.Hanau was a well-developed fortress town and remained occupied until 1638 bySwedish troops under General Jakob von Ramsay, who controlled the surrounding countryside from Hanau. He excluded Jakob Johann from any influence and sothe later left the city.Hans Jakob Christoffel von Grimmelshausen used the occupation of Hanau by the Swedish as background in his picaresque novel SimpliciusSimplicissimus.Return from exileFrom September 1635 to June 1636, Hanau was unsuccessfully besieged by imperial troops under General Guillaume de Lamboy.This siege proved the value of the modern defensive system, which had been constructed only a few years before. Thousands of refugees fled from thesurrounding villages into the city. After a nine-month siege, the city was relieved by an army under Landgrave Wilhelm V of Hesse-Kassel. He was Philipp Moritz'sbrother-in-law, as he had married Philipp Moritz's sister, Amalie Elisabeth. A church service was held annually to commemorate the relief. After 1800, thisdeveloped into an annual Lamboy festival.In 1637, Philipp Moritz reconciled with the new Emperor, Ferdinand III and changed sides again, back to the Catholicside. He returned to Hanau on 17 December 1637. General Ramsay ignored this and interned Philipp Moritz in the City Castle. He was obviously hoping to receiveHanau as a fief.However, on 11 February [O.S. 2 February] 1638, Johann Winter von Güldenborn, a major in the Hanau army, supported by members of theWetterau Association of Imperial Counts, staged a coup against the Swedes. He drove them out of Hanau and restored Philipp Moritz to power. General Ramsaywas arrested and taken to Dillenburg, where he died months later from injuries he sustained during this action.TriviumPhilipp Moritz was a member of theFruitbearing Society, under the nickname der Faselnde.DeathPhilipp Moritz died on 3 August 1638 and was buried in the family crypt his father had established inthe Church of St. Mary in Hanau.Marriage and issuePhilipp Moritz returned to Hanau in 1626 and married Princess Sibylle Christine of Anhalt-Dessau. They hadthe following children:Sibylle Mauritania (2 November 1630 – 24 March 1631). She was buried in the family vault in the St. Mary's Church in Hanau.

Johann Heinrich died while hisrelatives had fled from Hanau to the Netherlands. Because of the war, he was initially buried in Zweibrücken in 1635. His mother had his body transported toHanau as soon as it was possible again, and on 30 November 1638, he was buried in a metal coffin in the family vault in the Church of St. Mary in Hanau.LouiseEleanor Belgica (born: 3 March 1636 in Metz; died later that year in the Hague, where she was buried).AncestorsPassage 2:Philipp Ludwig III, Count ofHanau-MünzenbergCount Philipp Ludwig III of Hanau-Münzenberg (26 November [O.S. 16 November] 1632 in Hanau – 12 November 1641 in The Hague) was thelast count of the main Hanau-Münzenberg line of the House of Hanau.

He wasborn in Hanau on 26 November [O.S. 16 November] 1632, and baptized there on 13 January [O.S. 3 January] 1633.In 1634, the political situation in the ThirtyYears' War forced Philipp Moritz to flee with his family. He fled via Metz, Châlons, Rouen and Amsterdam to his Orange-Nassau relatives in Delft and TheHague. Philipp Moritz returned to Hanau-Münzenberg in 1637, however, he left his son with his mother, Countess Catharina Belgica of Nassau.Philipp Moritz diedin 1638, only 33 years old. Thus Philipp Ludwig III inherited Hanau-Münzenberg at the age of 5. The Reichskammergericht appointed his mother as his soleguardian. Unlike earlier rulers of Hanau-Münzenberg, she maintained a relaxed relationship with the Hanau-Münzenberg-Schwarzenfels line of thefamily.DeathPhilipp Ludwig III died of the measles at the age of 8, on 12 November 1641 in The Hague. He was the last member of the main Hanau-Münzenbergline. His siblings had all died before him. Hanau-Münzenberg was inherited by his first cousin once removed Count Johann Ernst ofHanau-Münzenberg-Schwarzenfels. When Johann Ernst died a year later, Hanau-Münzenberg fell to the Hanau-Lichtenberg line.Philipp Ludwig III was buried on18 February 1646 in the family crypt in the Church of St. Mary in Hanau, together with his mother and his successor. His pewter coffin was stolen in 1812, duringthe chaos of the Napoleonic Wars. He was reburied in a joint coffin, together with corpses from other coffins that had also been stolen.AncestorsPassage 3:PhilippLudwig I, Count of Hanau-MünzenbergPhilipp Ludwig I, Count of Hanau-Münzenberg (21 November 1553 – 4 February 1580) succeeded his father in thegovernment of the County of Hanau-Münzenberg in 1561.BackgroundPhilipp Ludwig I, was the son of Count Philipp III of Hanau-Münzenberg and CountessPalatine Helena of Simmern.

In 1560, when he was seven years old, his father appointed him as bailiff of the district of Steinau.Presumably, this was a sinecure.Just one year later, his father died and he inherited the county of Hanau-Münzenberg. A committee of regents was appointed torule on his behalf.RegencyThe regency was established by the Reichskammergericht (\"Imperial Supreme Court\") at the request of his mother. Three regents wereappointed, as requested:Count Johann VI of Nassau-Dillenburg, a step-great-uncle of the ward, who was also related directly to his wardCount Philipp IV ofHanau-Lichtenberg, the reigning Count of Hanau in the other line, and thus—very distantly—related to his ward.Elector Palatine Friedrich III is mentioned in theliterature as the chief regent. There is, however, no documentary evidence that he acted as such.Count Reinhard I of Solms, who had already acted as a guardianfor Philipp Ludwig's father and who was more closely related to Philipp Ludwig, was apparently ignored when the regency was established. He had expected to beregent and had already accepted the homage of the subjects, whom he now had to release. The reason may have been that Reinhard was a Catholic andHanau-Münzenberg had joined to Reformation religiously as well as politically. On the other hand, the contrast between Calvinism (as practised in the Electorateof the Palatinate) and Lutheranism (in Hanau-Lichtenberg) was not as pronounced at this time as it was a generation later, when again the Count ofHanau-Lichtenberg acted as regent for Hanau-Münzenberg and the difference it caused violent clashes within the regency. Under the regency for Philipp Ludwig Ithis was limited to discussions which education he should receive. In the end, the guardians reached an agreement.EducationThe young Count Philipp Ludwig Iwas described by his teachers as highly intelligent and eager to learn. From 1563 onwards, his guardians looked into the possibility of him being educated abroad."} +{"doc_id":"doc_224","qid":"","text":"Passage 1:5L5L or 5-L can refer to:TransportationAeroSur (IATA code)5L, a model of Toyota L engineCurtiss F-5L, see Felixstowe F5LSSH 5L (WA), former nameof U.S. Route 12 in WashingtonAtlantic coast F-5L, see Felixstowe F.5Auster J/5L, a model of Auster Aiglet TrainerBritish Rail Class 202 Diesel-electric multipleunits (6L) when reduced to a five-carriage configurationBritish Rail Class 203 Diesel-electric multiple units (6B) when reduced to a five-carriage configuration bythe removal of their buffet carsScience and technologyORC5LTAF5L5L, a model of HP LaserJet 5AIX 5L, see IBM AIXOther usesThe Horns of Nimon (productioncode: 5L), a 1979–80 Doctor Who serialSee alsoL5 (disambiguation)Passage 2:VariatorA variator is a device that can change its parameters, or can changeparameters of other devices.Often a variator is a mechanical power transmission device that can change its gear ratio continuously (rather than insteps).ExamplesBeier variable-ratio gearContinuously variable transmissionEvans friction coneNuVinci continuously variable transmissionVariator (variable valvetiming)VariomaticVANOSSee alsoEpicyclic gearingPassage 3:9F9F or 9-F may refer to:LocomotivesBR Standard Class 9F, a class of 2-10-0 steam locomotivesBRStandard Class 9F 92020-9BR Standard Class 9F 92220 Evening StarList of preserved BR Standard Class 9F locomotivesGCR Class 9F, a class of 0-6-2T steamlocomotivesOther uses2020 Salvadoran political crisis, commonly referred to as 9F (9th February)New York Route 9F, now New York State Route 9GFluorine (9F),a chemical elementSee alsoF9 (disambiguation)February 99ff, a German car tuning companyGrumman F9F Panther, an American carrier-based fighteraircraftGrumman F9F Cougar, an American carrier-based fighter aircraftPassage 4:ESTEst, EST, est, -est, etc. may refer to:Arts and entertainmentest: TheSteersman Handbook, a science fiction book published in 1970Ed Sullivan Theater, New York, built in 1927Ensemble Studio Theatre, New York, founded in1968Esbjörn Svensson Trio, a Swedish jazz trioE.S.T., a song by British band White Lies from their 2009 album To Lose My Life...E.S.T. - Trip to the Moon, a songby Alien Sex Fiend from their 1984 album Acid BathLanguage-est, the superlative suffix in English-est, an archaic verb ending in EnglishEstonian language (ISO639 code: est)European Society for Translation StudiesExtended standard theory, a generative grammar frameworkPeopleDiana Est (born 1963), ItaliansingerEST Gee (born 1994), American rapperMichael Est (c. 1580–1648), English composerThomas Est (c. 1540–1609), English printerVan Est, a DutchsurnamePlacesAfricaEst Department, a former division of Ivory CoastEst Province, RwandaEst Region (Burkina Faso)Est Region (Cameroon)EuropeEst (Chamberof Deputies of Luxembourg constituency), an electoral constituency in LuxembourgEst, Netherlands, a town in GelderlandEstonia (ISO 3166 alpha-3 code:EST)Science and medicineEdinburgh Science Triangle, a multi-disciplinary partnership in ScotlandElectroconvulsive therapy, formerly electroshock therapy, aform of treatmentEndodermal sinus tumor, a cancerous germ cell tumorEstrone sulfotransferase, an enzyme catalyzing the transformation of an unconjugatedestrogen into a sulfated estrogenEuropean Solar Telescope, a proposed observatoryExpressed sequence tag, a short sub-sequence of a cDNAsequenceTechnologyElectron spiral toroid, a claimed small stable plasma toroidElectronic sell-through, a method of media distributionEnrollment over SecureTransport, a cryptographic protocolTime zonesAustralian Eastern Standard Time or AEST (UTC+10), see Time in AustraliaEastern Standard Time or EST (UTC−5)in the Americas, officially \"Eastern Time Zone\"Egypt Standard Time or EGY (UTC+2)European Summer Time (varies from UTC to UTC+3), in several time zones,see Summer time in EuropeOther usesEnergy Saving Trust, a British organization for fighting climate change, formed in 1992Erhard Seminars Training (est), aNew Age large-group awareness training program, 1971–1984Espérance Sportive de Tunis, a Tunisian multi-sports club, founded in 1919Est Cola, a Thai softdrink, launched in 2012Effort satisficing theory, a decision-making strategy; see Satisficing § Effort satisficing theoryEstablished; see AnniversarySee alsoEast(disambiguation)Passage 5:I Can ChangeI Can Change may refer to:\"I Can Change\" (Brandon Flowers song)\"I Can Change\" (LCD Soundsystem song)\"I CanChange\", a song from the South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut soundtrackPassage 6:L'Histoire d'une fée, c'est...\"L'Histoire d'une fée, c'est...\" (English: \"The Storyof a Fairy Is...\") is a 2001 song recorded by French singer-songwriter Mylène Farmer. It was one of the singles from the soundtrack album for the film Rugrats inParis: The Movie (known in France as Les Razmokets à Paris). With its lyrics written by Farmer and the song being composed and produced by her long-timesongwriting collaborator Laurent Boutonnat, \"L'Histoire d'une fée, c'est...\" was released on 27 February 2001. The song describes the fairy Mélusine with\"childish\" lyrics that contrast with double entendres and puns referring to sexual practices. Although the single had no music video nor airplay promotion, itreceived generally positive reviews from critics and reached top-ten charts in France and Belgium.Background and writingRugrats in Paris: The Movie was thesecond in a trilogy of films based on the children's animated television series Rugrats, which features the adventures of a group of toddlers. After filming, theproducers wanted to record a soundtrack for the movie with mainly French songs, as well as a few in English. Several singers were contacted, including TLCmember Tionne Watkins, the 1990s boys band 2Be3, Sinéad O'Connor, Cyndi Lauper and Mylène Farmer. Persistent but unconfirmed rumours claimed thatMadonna, as the founder of the Maverick company producing the soundtrack, had expressly asked Farmer to participate in the album. Farmer accepted, butpreferred to produce a new song instead of licensing the rights to one of her old compositions. The recording label Maverick signed a contract for an unreleasedsong, with lyrics written by Farmer and music composed by her songwriting partner Laurent Boutonnat. This was the first time that the singer had recorded asong especially for a movie. An English version was canceled in favour of a French version, and eventually the song only played for about 15 seconds in themovie. The first title chosen, \"Attrapez-moi\", was also quickly abandoned as it was too similar to the Pokémon's cry of \"Attrapez-les tous\".Music andlyrics\"L'Histoire d'une fée, c'est...\" is a synthpop song. It tells the story of a mischievous and malicious fairy, Mélusine, here embodied by Farmer. Lyrically, thesong uses words referring to magic, baffling several of Farmer's fans as the lyrics seem to be closer to the themes found in songs by young singers such as Alizée.The lyrics also contain several double entendres and puns which refer to sexual practices. The song's title itself is ambiguous and can be deemed sexuallysuggestive as it contains a pun in French alluding to spanking: in French, the title \"L'Histoire d'une fée, c'est...\" could be phonetically understand as meaning\"L'Histoire d'une fessée...\" (translation: \"The Story of a Spanking\").ReleaseIn Europe the soundtrack release was postponed until 7 February 2001 becauseFarmer had bought the song's royalties and finally decided to release it as a single, 14 days later. It was only released as a digipack CD single, in which the song'slyrics are written inside, and there was no promotional format. For the second time in the singer's career – after the song \"XXL\" – the single cover does not showher, but a drawing of a fairy from the film by Tom Madrid. The song began circulating online a month before the soundtrack's release and was well received bymany fans who felt that it could be a hit. The song did not receive much radio airplay, with only Europe 2 playing it regularly. \"L'Histoire d'une fée, c'est...\" wasalso released on the soundtrack of the film in a longer version than the CD single version, and was later included on Mylène Farmer's greatest hits album LesMots. It was also released as the third track on the European CD maxi \"Les Mots\", released in the Switzerland on 4 September 2002.Critical receptionThe songwas generally well received by critics, who particularly noted the puns. According to author Erwan Chuberre, the lyrics are \"as funny as disillusioned\" and Farmeruses puns that \"highlight her immoderate pleasure for impolite pleasures\", with a music he deemed \"effective\". Author Thierry Desaules said that the songappears to be a childish fairly tale, but is actually structured in a perverse enough way to address the adult public, as the allusions to the spanking can be seen asreferences to sadomasochism. Journalist Benoît Cachin wrote that her puns are \"of the funniest\" and that the singer included in the lyrics \"some very personalthoughts\", including sadness; he added that Farmer appears to be \"fun, dynamic and delightfully mischievous\" on this song.Chart performanceOn 3 March 2001,the single debuted at a peak of number nine on the French SNEP Singles Chart, providing Farmer her 22nd top ten hit. In the following weeks, the song fellsteadily and remained in the top 50 for nine weeks and a total of 15 weeks on the chart. This chart performance was surprising given that the song was aired littleon radio, the film met a mixed commercial success in France and there was no music video, no promotion on television, and only one format. According toInstant-Mag the beauty of the single's cover undoubtedly helped increase sales. In Belgium, the single started at number 23 on 15 March 2001, climbed tonumber 11, then peaked at number 10. Thereafter, it dropped and fell off the Ultratop 50 after 13 weeks. On the 2001 Belgian singles year-end chart, \"L'Histoired'une fée, c'est...\" ranked at number 89.Formats and track listingsThese are the formats and track listings of single releases of \"L'Histoire d'une fée, c'est...\":CDsingle – DigipackOfficial versionsCredits and personnelThese are the credits and the personnel as they appear on the back of the single:Mylène Farmer –lyricsLaurent Boutonnat – music, producerJohn Eng – artistic directorGena Kornyshev – stylistTom Madrid – drawingsRequiem Publishing – editionsPolydor –recording companyHenry Neu – designBertrand Chatenet – mixingChartsRelease historyPassage 7:I Can Change (LCD Soundsystem song)\"I Can Change\" is asong by American rock band LCD Soundsystem.

It was released on YouTube and Steam on 14 June 2017.PlotChapter 1: WorldIn the near future, Earth will be attacked by technologically superior and highly aggressive reptilian aliens called the Klum (pronounced \"klume\"). Humanity is nearing extinction with millions dead or enslaved. The Klum transform the Earth in favor of their own ideal living conditions. They do this at first by burning forests and destroying cities. Then they build megastructures that alter the atmosphere by pumping out methane. The gas makes it progressively harder for terrestrial life to breathe. And it warms the climate, which leads to flooding of coastal cities.The story begins in 2020, from the viewpoint of resistance fighters in Texas, a group of US Army soldiers and many others who have banded together. Most human survivors live underground or among ruins. They have barely enough provisions, weapons, and ammunition. The humans fight by using whatever they can against the primary Klum weapon: an omnipresent nanite in their weaponry, and telepathic control over any human that makes direct eye contact with them.The resistance makes \"brain-barriers\" that block thismind control. The Klum know, however, that a scarcity of materials means a scarcity of brain barriers. They hope, therefore, to win a war of attrition against the human survivors.Some prisoners are living incubators for the Klum's young, which inevitably kills the victims. Others are dissected. Still other humans are converted into human loudspeakers that urge humans to surrender into \"conservatories\". Very few humans ever escape.After the Klum destroy a militia convoy with an airstrike, one of the surviving soldiers witnesses an angel-like being materialize from thin air. The narration describes ″them″ as mankind's saviours.Chapter 2: Amir & NoshNosh is a tech-savvy pyromaniac and bomb-maker, eking out a living in a scrapyard far from the resistance. The resistance despises Nosh for his murderous glee and demands - giving the sick or suicidal over as bait during his many IED ambushes. They must, however, give in to Nosh's demands tosecure the IEDs and the brain-barriers he makes.The resistance stumble across Amir, a mute who has escaped from the Klum. He has extensive cybernetics across his head and shoulders. Amid opposition from her lieutenants, the resistance leader, Jasper, releases Amir from her custody into the care of a resistance fighter named Sarah.Sarah, having lost her daughter to the Klum's experiments, takes a liking to him. She gives Amir food and drink while trying to persuade him to help the resistance fight the Klum by using the precognitive abilities he acquired via the aliens' experiments.Chapter 3: SiegeAmir recovers physically and mentally. Then, because of his implant, he has a premonition involving a wounded Klum on the run from militia forces.Sarah pleads with Amir to help the militia officers to stop the genocide. The more she talks to him, the more his eyes change, seeing the premonition of the impending attack more clearly. Amir, still mute, foresees the militia successfully shooting down an alien aircraft, and the pilot is the alien on the run.Sarah asks Amir if they will be able to learn how to hunt the Klum and teach them how to fear. Unable to answer, he foresees the Klum telekinetically bashing one of the militia soldiers, disconnecting his brain barrier and causing him to be mind-controlled, turning on his comrades, who are forced to kill him.Sarah tells Amir that he now has the abilities the aliens have and that he is to use them for humanity. Back in the vision, the militia surround the Klum; Jasper orders the "} +{"doc_id":"doc_227","qid":"","text":"Passage 1:NarathihapateNarathihapate (Burmese: \u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000, pronounced [n\u0000\u0000a\u0000 θìha\u0000p\u0000t\u0000]; also Sithu IV of Pagan; 23 April 1238 – 1 July 1287) was the last king of the Pagan Empire who reigned from 1256 to 1287. The king is known in Burmese history as the \"Taruk-Pyay Min\" (\"the King who fled from the Taruks\") for his flight from Pagan (Bagan) to Lower Burma in 1285 during the first Mongol invasion (1277–87) of the kingdom. He eventually submitted to Kublai Khan, founder of the Yuan dynasty in January 1287 in exchange for a Mongol withdrawal from northern Burma. But when the king was assassinated six months later by his son Thihathu, the Viceroy of Prome, the 250-year-old Pagan Empire broke apart into multiple petty states. The political fragmentation of the Irrawaddy valley and its periphery would last for another 250 years until the mid-16th century.The king is unkindly remembered in the royal chronicles, which in addition to calling a cowardly king who fled from the invaders, also call him \"an ogre\" and \"glutton\" who was \"great in wrath, haughtiness and envy, exceeding covetous and ambitious.\" According to scholarship, he was certainly an ineffective ruler but unfairly scapegoated by the chronicles for the fall of the empire, whose decline predated his reign, and in fact had been \"more prolonged and agonized\".Early lifeThe future king was born to Crown Prince Uzana and a commoner concubine from Myittha on 23 April 1238. For much of his early years, he was known at the palace as Min Khwe-Chi (lit. \"Prince Dog's Dung\") as a harmless royal. Even when his father became king in 1251, Khwe-Chi was not in line for the throne; the position belonged to his half-brother Thihathu, the eldest son of the chief queen Thonlula.ReignRise to powerBut fate came calling. In early May 1256, Uzana died from a hunting accident, and Thihathu claimed the throne. The court led by the powerful chief minister Yazathingyan did not accept a head-strong Thihathu, and placed their preferred candidate, Khwe Chi, whom they believed they could control, on the throne on 6 May 1256. Thihathu was arrested and executed. Narathihapate held the coronation ceremony in November 1256. He assumed the regnal name \"Śrī Tribhuvanādityapavara Dhammarāja\" (\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000).Governing styleThe young king turned out be quick-tempered, arrogant, and ruthless. Soon after his accession, he sent Yazathingyan, the man who put him on the throne, into exile. But he soon had to recall Yazathingyan to quell the rebellions in Martaban (Mottama) (1258–1259) and Arakan (1258–1260). Yazathingyan put down the rebellions but died on the return journey. With the old minister's death removed the only person that could have controlled the ruthless, inexperienced king.Narathihapate was incompetent in both domestic and foreign affairs. Like his father and grandfather before him, he too failed to fix the depleted royal treasury, which had been deteriorating for years because the continued growth of tax-free religious landholdings. But unlike his grandfather Kyaswa, who would rather build a small temple than to resort to forced labor, Narathihapate built a lavish temple, the Mingalazedi Pagoda with forced labor. The people, sinking under his rule, whispered: \"When the pagoda is finished, the king shall die\".Mongol invasionsBorder war (1277–78)The existential threat to the Burmese kingdom came from the north. The Mongols, who conquered the Dali Kingdom (later renamed as Yunnan in 1274) in 1253–57, first demanded tribute from Pagan in 1271–72. When the Burmese king refused, Emperor Kublai Khan himself sent a mission in 1273 to demand tribute once again. The king refused again. The Mongol army of the Yuan dynasty in 1275–76 consolidated the Pagan–Yunnan borderlands as part of their drive to close off escape routes of the Song refugees, and in the process went on to occupy a Burmese vassal state in present-day Dehong Prefecture). Narathihapate sent the army to reclaim the region but the army was driven back in April 1277 at the battle of Ngasaunggyan (modern Yingjiang). The Mongol troops reached as far south as Kaungsin, which guarded the Bhamo Pass, the gateway into the Irrawaddy, before retreating in 1278 due to excessive heat. Later in 1278, the army reestablished its forts at Kaungsin and Ngasaunggyan.Invasion (1283–85)Narathihapate's troubles were not over. In 1281, the Mongol emperor again demanded tribute. When the king refused, the emperor ordered an invasion of northern Burma. In September 1283, the Mongol forces again attacked the Burmese fort at Ngasaunggyan, which fell on 3 December 1283. Kaungsin fell six days later, and the Mongols took Tagaung on 5 February 1284. But the Mongols found the heat excessive and retreated from Tagaung. The Burmese forces retook Tagaung on 10 May 1284. The Mongol resumed their drive southward in the following dry season (1284–85), and reached as far south as Hanlin by February 1285. Although the Mongols did not have the order to attack Pagan, the king nonetheless fled south to Lower Burma.Exile in Lower Burma (1285–87)At Lower Burma, Narathihapate found himself isolated. Although his three sons controlled three key ports (Bassein (Pathein), Dala and Prome (Pyay)) there, he could not gain their support. He did not trust them in any case, and settled at Hlegya, west of Prome, at the border between Central Burma and Lower Burma. The presence of the king and his small army impressed no one. Pegu (Bago) revolted soon after, and drove back the king's small army twice. With Martaban (Mottama) also in rebellion, the breakaway of Pegu meant the entire eastern half of Lower Burma was now in revolt. His three sons remained in control of the western half of Lower Burma but he could not count on them for their support. At Hlegya, the king was literally at the periphery of Lower Burma.Mongol vassal (1287)He decided to return to central Burma even if it meant making peace with the Mongols. In December 1285, he sent the chief minister and general Ananda Pyissi and Gen. Maha Bo to negotiate a ceasefire. The Mongol commanders at Hanlin, who had organized northern Burma as a protectorate named Zhengmian (Chinese: \u0000\u0000; Wade–Giles: Cheng-Mien) agreed to a ceasefire but insisted on a full submission. They repeated their 1281 demand that the Burmese king send a formal delegation to the emperor. A tentative agreement was reached among the negotiators on 3 March 1286; Central Burma would now be organized as a sub-province of Mianzhong (Chinese: \u0000\u0000; Wade–Giles: Mien-Chung), and the Burmese king would send a formal embassy to the emperor. After a long deliberation, in June 1286, the Burmese king decided to agree to the terms, and sent an embassy led by Shin Ditha Pamauk, the chief primate, to the emperor's court.In January 1287, the embassy arrived at Beijing, and was received by the emperor. The Burmese delegation formally acknowledged Mongol suzerainty of their kingdom, and agreed to pay annual tribute tied to the agricultural output of the country. Northern Burma would continue to be organized as Zhengmian (Cheng-Mien) while central Burma would be organized as Mianzhong (Mien-Chung). In exchange, the emperor agreed to withdraw his troops. The Burmese embassy arrived back at Hlegya in May 1287, and reported the terms to the king.DeathAbout a month later, the king and his small retinue left Hlegya for Pagan. But he was captured en route by his son Thihathu, the Viceroy of Prome. On 1 July 1287, the king was forced to take poison. To refuse would have meant death by the sword, and with a prayer on his lips that in all his future existences \"may no male-child be ever born to him again\", the king swallowed the poison and died.AftermathNarathihapate's death was promptly followed by the breakup of the kingdom. Nearly 250 years of Pagan's rule over the Irrawaddy basin and its periphery was over. In Lower Burma, the Hanthawaddy Kingdom of the Mons emerged in 1287. In the west, Arakan was now de jure independent. In the north, the Shans who came down with the Mongols came to dominate Kachin hills and Shan hills, and went on dominate much of western and central mainland Southeast Asia.The Mongols deemed the treaty void and invaded south toward Pagan. But the invaders suffered heavy casualties, and retreated back to Tagaung. It would be nearly two years until 30 May 1289 when one of his sons Kyawswa emerged as the king of Pagan. By then, the Pagan Empire had ceased to exist. The Mongols had occupied down to Tagaung, and the occupation would last until April 1303. Even in central Burma, Kyawswa controlled only around the capital. The real power now rested with the three brothers from Myinsaing who would later found the Myinsaing Kingdom in 1297, replacing over four centuries of Pagan Kingdom.LegacyThe king is unkindly remembered in Burmese history as the \" Taruk-Pyay Min\" (\"the King who Fled from the Taruk [Chinese]\") for his flight to the south, instead of defending the country. The royal chronicles paint an especially harsh description of the king, portraying him as \"an ogre\" and \"glutton\" who was \"great in wrath, haughtiness and envy, exceeding covetous and ambitious.\" According to scholarship, he was certainly an ineffective ruler but unfairly scapegoated by the chronicles for the fall of the empire, whose descent predated his reign and in fact had been \"more prolonged and agonized.\"HistoriographyVarious royal chronicles report different dates about his life.NotesPassage 2:AnacyndaraxesAnacyndaraxes (Greek: \u0000νακυνδαράξης) was the father of Sardanapalus, king of Assyria.Notes This article incorporates text from a publication now in the public domain: Smith, William, ed.

He is remembered as the father of Harold Beauchamp, who rose to fame as chairman of the Bank of New Zealand and was the father of writer Katherine Mansfield.BiographyBeauchamp came to Nelson from Australia on the Lalla Rookh, arriving on 23 February 1861.He lived much of his life in a number of locations around the top of the South Island, also Whanganui when Harold was 11 for seven years and then to the capital (Wellington). Then south to Christchurch and finally Picton and the Sounds. He had business failures and was bankrupted twice, in 1879 and 1884. He married Mary Stanley on the Victorian goldfields in 1854; Arthur and Mary lived in 18 locations over half a century, and are buried in Picton. Six of their ten children born between 1855 and 1893 died, including the first two sons born before Harold.Beauchamp represented the Picton electorate from 1866 to 1867, when he resigned. He had the energy and sociability required for politics, but not the private income then required to be a parliamentarian. He supported the working man and the subdivision of big estates, opposed the confiscation of Māori land and was later recognised as a founding Liberal, the party that Harold supported and was a \"fixer\" for. Yska calls their life an extended chronicle of rootlessness, business failure and almost ceaseless family tragedy and Harold called his father a rolling stone by instinct.

But that caused a conflict between himself and his brother. He was temporarily imprisoned in 1194 by Otto.In 1197, hejoined the German Crusade of 1197. He was present at the inaugural meeting of the Teutonic Knights in 1198 in Acre.Margrave of BrandenburgAlbert II inheritedthe Margraviate in 1205, after the death of his eldest brother Otto II.In the dispute about the imperial crown between the Houses of Hohenstaufen and Guelph inthe early 13th century, Albert initially supported the Hohenstaufen King Philip of Swabia, like Otto before him. After Philip's assassination in 1208, however, hechanged sides, because Emperor Otto IV had assisted him in securing the Margraviate against the Danes, and had confirmed Ascanian ownership of Brandenburgin a deed in 1212.During this period, Albert II had a lengthy dispute with Archbishop Albert I of Magdeburg. He also played an important rôle in the Brandenburgtithe dispute.Albert II definitively secured the regions of Teltow, Prignitz and parts of the Uckermark for the Margraviate of Brandenburg, but lost Pomerania tothe House of Griffins.Death and successionAlbert II died in 1220. At the time, his two sons were still minors. Initially, archbishop Albert I of Magdeburg acted asregent. In 1221, however, Albert's widow, Countess Matilda, took up the regency. After her death in 1225, the brothers were declared legal adults and beganruling the Margraviate jointly.LegacyStephan Warnatsch describes Otto I's children as follows:[They] continued the territorialisation drive that had been initiated[by their father] and, from the end of the 12th Century, as the influx of settlers grew stronger, and, consequently, more people were available to develop theterritory, started to expand into the areas of Ruppin, and in particular, Barnim and Teltow. Moreover, the Oder region and the southern Uckermark were alsotargets of the Ascanian expansion. In all these areas, the Ascanians ran into opposition from competing local princes.Marriage and issueIn 1205, Albert marriedMatilda of Groitzsch (1185–1225), daughter of the Count Conrad II of Lusatia, a member of the House of Wettin, and wife Elizabeth, from the Polish Piastdynasty. They had four children:John I (born: c. 1213; died: 4 April 1266)Otto III \"the Pious\" (born: 1215; died: 9 October 1267)Matilda (died: 10 June 1261),married in 1228 Duke Otto I \"the Child\" of Brunswick-Lüneburg (1204–1252), a member of the House of GuelphElizabeth (born: 1207; died: 19 November 1231),married in 1228 Landgrave Henry Raspe of Thuringia (1201–1247)Passage 4:Henry II, Margrave of Baden-HachbergHenry II, Margrave of Baden-Hachberg(before 1231 – c. 1297/1298) was the ruling Margrave of Baden-Hachberg from 1231 to 1289.LifeHenry II was the eldest son of Margrave Henry I ofBaden-Hachberg and his wife, Agnes, a daughter of Count Egino IV of Urach. In 1231, he succeeded his father as Margrave of Baden-Hachberg. Since he was aminor at the time, he initially stood under the guardianship of his mother. He was the first in his line of the House of Zähringen to style himself Margrave ofHachberg. In 1232, he purchased the Lordship of Sausenburg from St. Blaise Abbey. Soon afterwards, he built Sausenburg Castle, which was first mentioned in1246.He had disputes with the spiritual rulers in the area and with the Counts of Freiburg about the entangled rights and privileges they had (or claimed to have)on each other's possessions. In 1250, some imperial and Hohenstaufen possessions became available for the taking after Emperor Frederick II had died. HenryII grabbed some of these land and managed round off his territory.For several years, he supported Count Rudolph of Habsburg in his disputes against the bishopsof Basel and Strasbourg. In 1273, he supported Rudolph in his bid to become King of the Romans. He also supported Rudolph in his dispute against the mainline of the Margraves of Baden. During the war against Bohemia, Henry II fought on the imperial side in the decisive Battle on the Marchfeld.He was a patron ofthe monasteries Tennenbach and Adelhausen.Henry II abdicated in 1289, and joined the Teutonic Knights.Marriage and issueHenry II was married to Anne, adaughter of Count Rudolph II of Üsingen-Ketzingen.

The previous margrave in this dynasty was Henry’s uncle Rudolf I, who was also hisguardian. Rudolf was deposed by Emperor Henry V because of conspiracy against the crown, and was replaced by Helperich as an interim measure. Henryassumed the titles of Count of Stade and Margrave of the Nordmark in 1114.Henry was married to Adelaide of Ballenstedt, a daughter of Otto, Count ofBallenstedt, and Eilika of Saxony. Adelaide was therefore the sister of Albert the Bear. There are no known children as a result of this union.

The music is based on the opera Carmenby Georges Bizet in an orchestral version arranged especially for this film. In contrast to figure skating movies of former times, Carmen on Ice is a film withoutspoken dialogue, which is an innovation in the history of figure skating.PlotThe story of Carmen on Ice is very similar to the opera Carmen. Analogous to thefour-act opera libretto the screenplay has four parts:A Square in Sevilla in front of a cigarette factory: Micaela, a village maiden, brings a letter to the Corporal ofDragoons Don José, which was written by his mother. The cigarette girls emerge from the factory, among them the attractive Carmen, who starts to flirt with themen standing on the square. The only man who does not show interest in Carmen is Don José, who is reading his mother's letter. Finally, however, Carmenmanages to attract also his attention by dancing for him and giving him a rose. The other young women are jealous, and one of them attacks Carmen. Carmenslashes her face with a knife. Others involve and start a street fighting, which is stopped by Zuniga, the Lieutenant of Dragoons. Everybody accuses Carmen ofhaving started the fight. Zuniga asks Carmen if she has anything to say and also starts to flirt with her. Carmen, however, is not interested in him. Zunigainstructs José to guard Carmen. José ties up her hands with a rope. To escape, Carmen seduces José in a dance with this rope. The corporal unties her hands, andCarmen can run away. The angry Zuniga instructs his dragoons to guard José.Evening at Lillas Pastia's inn: Carmen is waiting impatiently for Don José, who hasbeen released from prison. To drive away her boredom, she starts to dance. The toreador Escamillo enters the inn and is welcomed by the other guests. He showsa virtuoso solo dance and attracts Carmen's attention. While Escamillo leaves the inn with his friends, Don José comes in and is welcomed by Carmen, who showsa solo, which leads in a pair dance with her new lover. Suddenly the sound of bugles is heard calling the soldiers back to barracks. When José wants to leave,Carmen gets angry. José affirms his love to her in a solo with the rose she has given to him at their first meeting. Zuniga suddenly interrupts the two lovers andflirts with Carmen, which makes José so jealous, that he attacks the lieutenant, and leaves the service and joins Carmen and her friends.A wild and desertedrocky place at night: Carmen has grown tired of José, her new favorite is the toreador Escamillo. She sits at a campfire and tries to tell fortunes by the shapesmade by molten lead dropped into cold water. The shape which she holds in her hand is a skull. Carmen is scared and dances nervously around the campfire.Escamillo comes to the place and makes José jealous by showing him Carmen's fan. The two rivals start fighting. Escamillo emerges victorious and retires withCarmen.A square in front of the arena in Seville: The square is full of people who cheer to procession as the bullfighting team with Escamillo arrives. Carmenwelcomes the toreador and dreams of a wedding dance with him. After the bullfighting team has entered the arena, Carmen is grabbed by Don José and pulledinto an outbuilding. José begs her to return his love, but is rejected by Carmen. Don José loses control of himself and stabs Carmen to death.BackgroundCarmenon Ice was filmed in Spain and Germany, citizens of Sevilla and Berlin played bit parts. In 1988 Katarina Witt, who played the title role, had won her secondolympic gold medal at the winter games in Calgary with a free skating to Carmen. Brian Boitano, who played the part of Don José, became Olympic champion inthe same year followed by Brian Orser, the Olympic silver medallist of 1988 and actor playing Escamillo. So, it was obvious to cast the film with these stars.Carmen on Ice was first presented in public on February 8, 1990. and won the Emmy-Award for Outstanding Performance in a Classical Music or Dance Programin 1990. The award was shared by the film's three stars, Boitano, Orser and Witt. The choreography by Sandra Bezic and Michael Seibert (figure skater) wasinfluenced by elements of classical ballet and flamenco as well. During the rehearsals the skaters were also coached by flamenco dancer CristinaHoyos.BibliographyArt music in figure skating, synchronized swimming and rhythmic gymnastics/Kunstmusik in Eiskunstlauf, Synchronschwimmen undrhythmischer Gymnastik.

He became a member of Hojjatieh, and left it to join the People's Mujahedin of Iran (MEK) in 1969. In 1972 he was imprisoned for being a MEK member,and spent time in jail until 1979.CareerShortly after Iranian Revolution, he became one of the senior members of the MEK. He is now an official in the NationalCouncil of Resistance of Iran.Electoral historyPersonal lifeAbrishamchi was married to Maryam Rajavi from 1980 to 1985. Shortly after, he married MousaKhiabani's younger sister Azar.LegacyAbrishamchi credited Massoud Rajavi for saving the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran after the \"greatschism\".Passage 3:Georges BizetGeorges Bizet (né Alexandre César Léopold Bizet; 25 October 1838 – 3 June 1875) was a French composer of the Romantic era.Best known for his operas in a career cut short by his early death, Bizet achieved few successes before his final work, Carmen, which has become one of the mostpopular and frequently performed works in the entire opera repertoire.During a brilliant student career at the Conservatoire de Paris, Bizet won many prizes,including the prestigious Prix de Rome in 1857. He was recognised as an outstanding pianist, though he chose not to capitalise on this skill and rarely performedin public. Returning to Paris after almost three years in Italy, he found that the main Parisian opera theatres preferred the established classical repertoire to theworks of newcomers. His keyboard and orchestral compositions were likewise largely ignored; as a result, his career stalled, and he earned his living mainly byarranging and transcribing the music of others. Restless for success, he began many theatrical projects during the 1860s, most of which were abandoned. Neitherof his two operas that reached the stage in this time—Les pêcheurs de perles and La jolie fille de Perth—were immediately successful.After the Franco-PrussianWar of 1870–1871, during which Bizet served in the National Guard, he had little success with his one-act opera Djamileh, though an orchestral suite derivedfrom his incidental music to Alphonse Daudet's play L'Arlésienne was instantly popular. The production of his final opera, Carmen, was delayed because of fearsthat its themes of betrayal and murder would offend audiences. After its premiere on 3 March 1875, Bizet was convinced that the work was a failure; he died of aheart attack three months later, unaware that it would prove a spectacular and enduring success.Bizet's marriage to Geneviève Halévy was intermittently happyand produced one son. After his death, his work, apart from Carmen, was generally neglected. Manuscripts were given away or lost, and published versions of hisworks were frequently revised and adapted by other hands. He founded no school and had no obvious disciples or successors. After years of neglect, his worksbegan to be performed more frequently in the 20th century. Later commentators have acclaimed him as a composer of brilliance and originality whose prematuredeath was a significant loss to French musical theatre.LifeEarly yearsFamily background and childhoodGeorges Bizet was born in Paris on 25 October 1838. Hewas registered as Alexandre César Léopold, but baptised as \"Georges\" on 16 March 1840, and was known by this name for the rest of his life. His father, AdolpheBizet, had been a hairdresser and wigmaker before becoming a singing teacher despite his lack of formal training. He also composed a few works, including atleast one published song. In 1837, Adolphe married Aimée Delsarte, against the wishes of her family who considered him a poor prospect; the Delsartes, thoughimpoverished, were a cultured and highly musical family. Aimée was an accomplished pianist, while her brother François Delsarte was a distinguished singer andteacher who performed at the courts of both Louis Philippe and Napoleon III. François Delsarte's wife Rosine, a musical prodigy, had been an assistant professorof solfège at the Conservatoire de Paris at the age of 13. At least one author has suggested that his mother was from a Jewish family but this is not substantiatedin any of his official biographies.Georges, an only child, showed early aptitude for music and quickly picked up the basics of musical notation from his mother, whoprobably gave him his first piano lessons. By listening at the door of the room where Adolphe conducted his classes, Georges learned to sing difficult songsaccurately from memory and developed an ability to identify and analyse complex chordal structures. This precocity convinced his ambitious parents that he wasready to begin studying at the Conservatoire even though he was still only nine years old (the minimum entry age was 10). Georges was interviewed by JosephMeifred, the horn virtuoso who was a member of the Conservatoire's Committee of Studies. Meifred was so struck by the boy's demonstration of his skills that hewaived the age rule and offered to take him as soon as a place became available.ConservatoireBizet was admitted to the Conservatoire on 9 October 1848, twoweeks before his 10th birthday. He made an early impression; within six months he had won first prize in solfège, a feat that impressed Pierre-Joseph-GuillaumeZimmerman, the Conservatoire's former professor of piano. Zimmerman gave Bizet private lessons in counterpoint and fugue, which continued until the old man'sdeath in 1853. Through these classes, Bizet met Zimmerman's son-in-law, the composer Charles Gounod, who became a lasting influence on the young pupil'smusical style—although their relationship was often strained in later years. He also met another of Gounod's young students, the 13-year-old CamilleSaint-Saëns, who remained a firm friend of Bizet's. Under the tuition of Antoine François Marmontel, the Conservatoire's professor of piano, Bizet's pianismdeveloped rapidly; he won the Conservatoire's second prize for piano in 1851, and first prize the following year. Bizet would later write to Marmontel: \"In yourclass one learns something besides the piano; one becomes a musician\".Bizet's first preserved compositions, two wordless songs for soprano, date from around1850. In 1853, he joined Fromental Halévy's composition class and began to produce works of increasing sophistication and quality. Two of his songs, \"Petite"} +{"doc_id":"doc_231","qid":"","text":"Passage 1:Vera MiletićVera Miletić (Serbian Cyrillic: Вера Милетић; 8 March 1920 – 7 September 1944) was a Serbian student and soldier.

She is the mother of Meghan, Duchess of Sussex.Early lifeDoria Ragland was born in Cleveland, Ohio, to nurse Jeanette Arnold (1929–2000) and her second husband Alvin Azell Ragland (1929–2011), an antiques dealer who sold items at flea markets. Ragland's maternal grandparents, James and Nettie Arnold, respectively worked as a bellhop and an elevator operator at the Hotel St. Regis on Euclid Avenue in Cleveland. Her parents moved to Los Angeles when Ragland was a baby and later divorced. In 1983, her father married kindergarten teacher Ava Burrow, who is near to Ragland's age; the two remained close after that marriage also ended in divorce. Ragland has two older maternal half-siblings, Joseph (known as \"JJ\"; 1949–2021) and Saundra Johnson (born 1952), and a younger paternal half-brother, Alvin Joffrey Ragland. According to inferred conclusions and information passed down (much of it verbally) from earlier generations, the Ragland family descend from Richard Ragland, born into slavery c.1792 in Chatham County, North Carolina; his son, Stephen Ragland (1848-1926) of Jonesboro in Georgia, lived long enough to experience the abolition of slavery in 1865. Ragland's surname came from slave-owner William Ragland, a Methodist planter and land speculator who had emigrated during the eighteenth century from Cornwall, England, to North America.Career and educationAfter leaving Fairfax High School, Ragland worked as a temp assistant makeup artist and met her future husband, Thomas Markle, while employed on the set of the television show General Hospital. Later on, their daughter Meghan stayed with Thomas Markle as Ragland pursued a career. She later worked as a travel agent and owned a small business before filing for bankruptcy in the mid-2000s. Ragland completed a Bachelor of Arts in psychology. In 2011, she earned a Master of Social Work from the University of Southern California. After passing California's licensing exam in 2015, she was a social worker for three years at the Didi Hirsch Mental Health Services clinic in Culver City. Ragland has also worked as a yoga instructor. In 2020, it was reported that she would teach a jewelry making course at Santa Monica College. In the same year, Ragland became CEO, CFO and secretary of a care home firm in Beverly Hills, called Loving Kindness Senior Care Management.Personal lifeRagland married lighting director Thomas Markle Sr. on December 23, 1979, at Hollywood's Paramahansa Yogananda Self-Realization Fellowship Temple in a ceremony performed by Brother Bhaktananda. Their daughter, Meghan, was born in 1981. The couple separated when their daughter was two years old. They divorced in 1987. Both parents contributed to raising Meghan until, at the age of 6, she began living with Thomas Markle full-time while Ragland pursued a career.Ragland resides in View Park–Windsor Hills, California, in a house inherited from her father in 2011. She has accompanied Meghan to public events and attended her 2018 wedding to Prince Harry in Berkshire. Ragland became a grandmother on May 6, 2019. She flew to the United Kingdom to see her grandson, Archie Mountbatten-Windsor, and his parents. In July, she attended Mountbatten-Windsor's christening at the private chapel at Windsor Castle. Her granddaughter, Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor, was born on June 4, 2021, in Santa Barbara, California.See also\"(Almost) Straight Outta Compton\", a 2016 tabloid article headline about Meghan Markle and her mother's backgroundNotesPassage 3:Maria ThinsMaria Thins (c. 1593 – 27 December 1680) was the mother-in-law of Johannes Vermeer and a member of the Gouda Thins family. She was raised in a devout Dutch Catholic family with two sisters and a brother. Outliving her parents and siblings, she received inheritances over the years, making her a wealthy woman. She married a prosperous brickmaker, Reynier Bolnes, in 1622. They had three children together, Catharina, Willem, and Cornelia. By 1635, Bolnes verbally and physically abused his wife and daughters. Thins moved to Delft with her daughters. Her son Willem stayed with his father. Thins was a wealthy woman due to the separation settlement of her husband in 1649 and the estates she inherited from her family. Her daughter Catharina married Johannes Vermeer, an artist, art dealer, and operator of the family's inn in Delft. Vermeer and Catharina lived at Thins house by 1660. The couple had fifteen children, four of whom died in infancy. Raising nearly a dozen children strained Vermeer financially. He relied on the support from his mother-in-law. During the Franco-Dutch War (1672–1674), Vermeer became impoverished. Thins reduced the money she provided to Catharina and her husband due to the loss of income during that period. Vermeer died in 1675, and Thins died five years later. Catharina was the only one of Thins' children to survive her. Thins drew up her will to maximize what she could provide for her grandchildren and their education, while limiting how much might be taken by Catharina's creditors. Catharina died in 1687.Early lifeMaria was born c. 1593 in Gouda to a prominent Dutch Catholic family, Catharina van Hensbeeck (d. 1633) and William Thin (d. 1601). They lived in the house named De Trapjes (The Little Steps) in Gouda. Maria had three siblings, none of whom were married. Her sister Elisabeth became a nun. She also had a sister Cornelia and a brother Jan. Since none of her siblings married, Thins ultimately inherited a large estate. The family conducted mass in their home, while at the time it was illegal for a group of Roman Catholics to assemble in Gouda. The local sheriffs broke up a religious meeting at their house in 1619.Garrit Camerling (d. 1627) of Delft became her stepfather in 1605 when he married Catharina van Hensbeeck. She was related to Abraham Bloemaert (1566–1651) through her cousin Jan Geensz Thins. Before her marriage, Thins lived in Delft with a prosperous young woman who was her friend.Marriage and childrenIn 1622, Maria Thins married Reynier Bolnes (ca. 1593–1676), a prominent and prosperous brickmaker. Thins was an heiress when she married, and she collected art, including several in the style of Utrecht Caravaggists.ChildrenThins had three children, the youngest of whom was Catharina Bolnes (c. 1631–1688), nicknamed Trijntge. She also had a son Willem, and a daughter Cornelia. Around 1635, Reynier became verbally and physically abusive with her and her children. At the age of nine, Catharina ran to neighbors because she thought that Reynier's abuse of Cornelia could kill her. Reynier confessed that he physically abused Cornelia and would do it again if Thins beat their son Willem. Reynier and Willem began eating separately from the female members of the family, and the father encouraged his son to be abusive and noncompliant with Thins.Divided familyThins moved to Delft in 1642 to get away from her abusive husband. Jan Geensz Thins, who was her guardian and cousin, purchased a home for her there the prior year. Jan became Thin's guardian following the early death of her father. Thins attained custody of her daughters in 1641 and moved with them to Delft. William stayed with his father, whose business began to fail. Thins lived on Oude Langendijk next to the Jesuit Catholic Church in the Catholic section of Delft called paepenhoek (the Papists' Corner).Thins received half of her husband's assets, a substantial amount, in 1649. By 1653, Reynier Bolnes was bankrupt. Thins derived income from annuities, interest income, and property rentals, including farmland. She also lived off of the capital of her investments. Thins and her sister Cornelia Thins (d. 1661) received a sizeable inheritance from their brother Jan Willemsz Thins following his death in 1651. Thins attained a comfortable standard of living of 15,000 or more guilders a year in the 1660s.Cornelia died in 1649. In 1664, Thin's son Willem, a jobless bachelor, was locked up in an institution after an argument with his mother, and for attacking Catharina, his pregnant sister, with a stick. In 1665, Maria Thins was entrusted with her son's property. She wrote a will, which limited Willem's share to the legal minimum of one sixth of her estate. She mentioned that he had been calling her names since his youth. Willem died in 1676.The VermeersThin's daughter, Catharina, came to know Johannes Vermeer and wished to marry him. Her mother disapproved of the marriage because he was not Catholic, and also likely because he was of a lower artisan class. By 1652, Vermeer helped his mother run the family's inn and was an art dealer, taking over his deceased father's business. Before they married, Thins stated that although she did not approve, she would not prevent Catharina and Vermeer from marrying. Vermeer likely converted from Reformed Protestant to Catholicism by the time of their union. Catharina and Vermeer married in Schipluy (present-day Schipluiden) on 20 April 1653. By December 1660, the Vermeers lived in the large house of his wealthy mother-in-law Maria Thins, described as a \"strong-willed\" woman. It was unusual at the time for married men and women to settle into the houses of their parents. Vermeer relied on Thin's residence and financial support to take care of his family.Vermeer painted in the artist's studio and sold art from the house. His works portray subjects with clothing and furnishings more luxurious than his own. Biographer Anthony Bailey claims that since Vermeer used models from his household, it is likely that he made a painting of his wife. He asserts that Catharina is depicted in A Lady Writing a Letter due to her \"fond expression\" and \"concentrated gaze of the unseen painter.\"Thins played an essential role in their life. She was a devotee of the Jesuit order in the nearby Catholic Church, and this seems to have influenced Johannes and Catharina.They had eleven children at the time of Vermeer's death, four of their children died young between 1660 and 1673. Most of their children were born at Thin's house. Their third son was called Ignatius, after the founder of the Jesuit Order. Catharina inherited the Ben Repas estate following her Aunt Cornelia's death in February 1661.Thins hired Vermeer to manage financial issues for her in 1667 and 1675. He collected monies owed her, and he handled her investments. The Rampjaar (disaster year) following the outbreak of the Franco-Dutch War (1672–1674) was particularly hard on Vermeer's ability to make money as an artist and an art dealer. He had to take a loss on sales of works of art and was unable to sell his own works. His mother-in-law was financially strained during this period due to the loss of rental income from farmland due to the war. In one instance, she rented out land near Schoonhoven that was flooded to prevent the French army from crossing the Dutch Water Line. The farmland was not arable for a time. Thins reduced the money that she spent to support the Vermeers.

VignolaRobert G. Vignola (bornRocco Giuseppe Vignola, August 7, 1882 – October 25, 1953) was an Italian-American actor, screenwriter, and film director. A former stage actor, he appeared inmany motion pictures produced by Kalem Company and later moved to directing, becoming one of the silent screen's most prolific directors. He directed a handfulof films in the early years of talkies but his career essentially ended in the silent era.Early lifeVignola was born in August 7, 1882 in Trivigno, a village in theprovince of Potenza, Basilicata, to Donato Gaetano Vignola, a stone mason, and Anna Rosa Rago. It is unsure why he used August 5th as his birthday in America.He had two brothers and three sisters, his oldest sister having died at the age of 19 months in Italy. Travelling with his mother and siblings, he left Italy in May1886, at the age of three. He was raised in Albany, New York. Because of his Christian name of Rocco he was nicknamed \"Rocky\" on the family’s first census inNew York. His name Rocco was later changed to Robert. Trained as a barber in his youth, Vignola by age 14 became interested in the circus, practicing contortionand slackwire. Three years later, in 1899, he found his true vocation—acting—and the following year in Albany he established a small performance company thathe named \"The Empire Dramatic Club\".Acting careerIn 1901 he started acting on stage professionally and joined the \"American Stock Company\" in New York. Hemade his stage debut in \"Romeo and Juliet\", performing with Eleanor Robson Belmont and Kyrle Bellew. In the following years he played leads and became acharacter actor. Vignola's motion picture career began in 1906 with the short film The Black Hand, directed by Wallace McCutcheon and produced by BiographCompany, generally considered the film that launched the mafia genre.In 1907 he joined Kalem Studios, starring in numerous movies directed by his long-timefriend Sidney Olcott often dealing with Irish culture such as The Lad from Old Ireland (1910), The Colleen Bawn (1911), and Arrah-na-Pogue (1911). Olcott wouldlater promote him to assistant director. The Kalem Company traveled across Europe and Middle East, where Vignola did one of his most notable roles as JudasIscariot in From the Manger to the Cross (1912), among the most acclaimed films of the silent years. According to Moving Picture World, he was the first actorwho was placed upon a permanent salary by Kalem.Directing careerVignola directed 110 pictures from 1911 to 1937. His debut as a film director was Rory O'More(1911), co-directed with Olcott. The Vampire (1913), starring Alice Hollister, was well-received by critics and is sometimes cited as the earliest surviving \"vamp\"movie (another title with the same name produced by William Nicholas Selig in 1910 is considered lost). He returned to the theme with The Vampire's Trail(1914), featuring Alice Joyce, Tom Moore and Hollister in a secondary role. He had a long association directing the early movies of Pauline Frederick such asAudrey (1916), Double Crossed (1917), and The Love That Lives (1917).Vignola is best known for directing Marion Davies in several romantic comedies includingEnchantment (1921), Beauty's Worth (1922), and the big-budget epic When Knighthood Was in Flower (1922), which achieved critical and commercial acclaimand established Davies as a movie star. In 1920, he was offered the role of director-general for the Kinkikan Cinematograph Company in Japan and was honoredas \"outstanding director of the year\" by Frederick James Smith of the Motion Picture Classic in 1921. The Woman God Changed (1921) and Adam and Eva (1923)were praised for the \"innovative\" use of shadows and lighting effects.With the arrival of the sound era, he directed Broken Dreams (1933), in competition for theBest Foreign Film at the 2nd Venice International Film Festival, and The Scarlet Letter (1934), the last film of Colleen Moore. His sound films were not successfuland Vignola retired. His final film work was The Girl from Scotland Yard (1937). Later that year he directed The Pilgrimage Play (live play in Los Angeles, not therelated movie.). Vignola was associated with the play at least to 1944.DeathVignola died in Hollywood, California in 1953. He was buried in St. Agnes Cemetery,Menands, New York.Personal lifeHe lived in a mansion at Whitley Heights owned by William Randolph Hearst. According to legend, Hearst's mistress MarionDavies was allowed to stay without him at Vignola's mansion, worried that she was having affairs and considering Vignola a trusted companion for her as he washomosexual. Sidney Olcott, alone after the passing of his wife Valentine Grant, spent his later life at Vignola's home, where he died in 1949.Vignola was describedby Delight Evans as \"the sanest and least temperamental of all celluloid creators. He has infinite patience. He has one quality which makes actors want to work forhim: consideration.\" He once said: \"Before a director can learn to control thousands of people and big stars and big scenes, he must first learn to control himself.\"He identified himself as a Republican, although he was not much interested in politics. Vignola visited his birthplace Trivigno with his family, provided money tobuild the town's war monument and maintained correspondence with some of his relatives.Partial filmographyActorDirectorPassage 4:She Wants MeShe Wants Meis a 2012 comedy film written and directed by Rob Margolies and starring Josh Gad and Kristen Ruhlin.PlotSam is a writer working on a feature film.

They married in Cap-Haïtien in 1793, having had a relationship with him from the year prior.They had four children: François Ferdinand (born 1794), Françoise-Améthyste (d. 1831), Athénaïs (d. 1839) and Victor-Henri.At her spouse's new position in1798, she moved to the Sans-Souci Palace. During the French invasion, she and her children lived underground until 1803.QueenIn 1811, Marie-Louise was giventhe title of queen upon the creation of the Kingdom of Haiti. Her new status gave her ceremonial tasks to perform, ladies-in-waiting, a secretary and her owncourt. She took her position seriously, and stated that the title \"given to her by the nation\" also gave her responsibilities and duties to perform. She served as thehostess of the ceremonial royal court life performed at the Sans-Souci Palace. She did not involve herself in the affairs of state.

In August 1821, the former queen left Haiti with her daughters under theprotection of the British admiral Sir Home Popham, and travelled to London. There were rumours that she was searching for the money, three million, depositedby her spouse in Europe. Whatever the case, she did live the rest of her life without economic difficulties. The English climate and pollution during the IndustrialRevolution was determintal to Améthyste's health, and eventually they decided to leave.In 1824, Marie-Louise and her daughters moved in Pisa in Italy, wherethey lived for the rest of their lives, Améthyste dying shortly after their arrival and Athénaïs in 1839. They lived discreetly for the most part, but were occasionallybothered by fortune hunters and throne claimers who wanted their fortune.

Hewent to the wicket early on the first day with the score at 7 for 2 and put on 99 for the third wicket with Charles Corfe before he was out with the score at 106 for3 after a \"very fine exhibition of free hitting, combined with good defence\". Canterbury were all out for 133, but went on to win the match. His 75 came in thenext season's match against Otago, when he took the score from 22 for 2 to 136 for 6. The New Zealand cricket historian Tom Reese said, \"Right from thebeginning he smote the bowling hip and thigh, going out of his ground to indulge in some forceful driving.\" Canterbury won again.Moore led the batting averagesin the Canterbury Cricket Association in 1877–78 with 379 runs at an average of 34.4.

She was raised in a devout Dutch Catholic family with two sisters and a brother. Outliving her parents and siblings, she received inheritances over the years, making her a wealthy woman. She married a prosperous brickmaker, Reynier Bolnes, in 1622. They had three children together, Catharina, Willem, and Cornelia. By 1635, Bolnes verbally and physically abused his wife and daughters. Thins moved to Delft with her daughters. Her son Willem stayed with his father. Thins was a wealthy woman due to the separation settlement of her husband in 1649 and the estates she inherited from her family. Her daughter Catharina married Johannes Vermeer, an artist, art dealer, and operator of the family's inn in Delft. Vermeer and Catharina lived at Thins house by 1660. The couple had fifteen children, four of whom died in infancy. Raising nearly a dozen children strained Vermeer financially. He relied on the support from his mother-in-law. During the Franco-Dutch War (1672–1674), Vermeer became impoverished. Thins reduced the money she provided to Catharina and her husband due to the loss of income during that period. Vermeer died in 1675, and Thins died five years later. Catharina was the only one of Thins' children to survive her. Thins drew up her will to maximize what she could provide for her grandchildren and their education, while limiting how much might be taken by Catharina's creditors. Catharina died in 1687.Early lifeMaria was born c. 1593 in Gouda to a prominent Dutch Catholic family, Catharina van Hensbeeck (d. 1633) and William Thin (d. 1601). They lived in the house named De Trapjes (The Little Steps) in Gouda. Maria had three siblings, none of whom were married. Her sister Elisabeth became a nun. She also had a sister Cornelia and a brother Jan. Since none of her siblings married, Thins ultimately inherited a large estate. The family conducted mass in their home, while at the time it was illegal for a group of Roman Catholics to assemble in Gouda. The local sheriffs broke up a religious meeting at their house in 1619.Garrit Camerling (d. 1627) of Delft became her stepfather in 1605 when he married Catharina van Hensbeeck. She was related to Abraham Bloemaert (1566–1651) through her cousin Jan Geensz Thins. Before her marriage, Thins lived in Delft with a prosperous young woman who was her friend.Marriage and childrenIn 1622, Maria Thins married Reynier Bolnes (ca. 1593–1676), a prominent and prosperous brickmaker. Thins was an heiress when she married, and she collected art, including several in the style of Utrecht Caravaggists.ChildrenThins had three children, the youngest of whom was Catharina Bolnes (c. 1631–1688), nicknamed Trijntge. She also had a son Willem, and a daughter Cornelia. Around 1635, Reynier became verbally and physically abusive with her and her children. At the age of nine, Catharina ran to neighbors because she thought that Reynier's abuse of Cornelia could kill her. Reynier confessed that he physically abused Cornelia and would do it again if Thins beat their son Willem. Reynier and Willem began eating separately from the female members of the family, and the father encouraged his son to be abusive and noncompliant with Thins.Divided familyThins moved to Delft in 1642 to get away from her abusive husband. Jan Geensz Thins, who was her guardian and cousin, purchased a home for her there the prior year. Jan became Thin's guardian following the early death of her father. Thins attained custody of her daughters in 1641 and moved with them to Delft. William stayed with his father, whose business began to fail. Thins lived on Oude Langendijk next to the Jesuit Catholic Church in the Catholic section of Delft called paepenhoek (the Papists' Corner).Thins received half of her husband's assets, a substantial amount, in 1649. By 1653, Reynier Bolnes was bankrupt. Thins derived income from annuities, interest income, and property rentals, including farmland. She also lived off of the capital of her investments. Thins and her sister Cornelia Thins (d. 1661) received a sizeable inheritance from their brother Jan Willemsz Thins following his death in 1651. Thins attained a comfortable standard of living of 15,000 or more guilders a year in the 1660s.Cornelia died in 1649. In 1664, Thin's son Willem, a jobless bachelor, was locked up in an institution after an argument with his mother, and for attacking Catharina, his pregnant sister, with a stick. In 1665, Maria Thins was entrusted with her son's property. She wrote a will, which limited Willem's share to the legal minimum of one sixth of her estate. She mentioned that he had been calling her names since his youth. Willem died in 1676.The VermeersThin's daughter, Catharina, came to know Johannes Vermeer and wished to marry him. Her mother disapproved of the marriage because he was not Catholic, and also likely because he was of a lower artisan class. By 1652, Vermeer helped his mother run the family's inn and was an art dealer, taking over his deceased father's business. Before they married, Thins stated that although she did not approve, she would not prevent Catharina and Vermeer from marrying. Vermeer likely converted from Reformed Protestant to Catholicism by the time of their union. Catharina and Vermeer married in Schipluy (present-day Schipluiden) on 20 April 1653. By December 1660, the Vermeers lived in the large house of his wealthy mother-in-law Maria Thins, described as a \"strong-willed\" woman. It was unusual at the time for married men and women to settle into the houses of their parents. Vermeer relied on Thin's residence and financial support to take care of his family.Vermeer painted in the artist's studio and sold art from the house. His works portray subjects with clothing and furnishings more luxurious than his own. Biographer Anthony Bailey claims that since Vermeer used models from his household, it is likely that he made a painting of his wife. He asserts that Catharina is depicted in A Lady Writing a Letter due to her \"fond expression\" and \"concentrated gaze of the unseen painter.\"Thins played an essential role in their life. She was a devotee of the Jesuit order in the nearby Catholic Church, and this seems to have influenced Johannes and Catharina.They had eleven children at the time of Vermeer's death, four of their children died young between 1660 and 1673. Most of their children were born at Thin's house. Their third son was called Ignatius, after the founder of the Jesuit Order. Catharina inherited the Ben Repas estate following her Aunt Cornelia's death in February 1661.Thins hired Vermeer to manage financial issues for her in 1667 and 1675. He collected monies owed her, and he handled her investments. The Rampjaar (disaster year) following the outbreak of the Franco-Dutch War (1672–1674) was particularly hard on Vermeer's ability to make money as an artist and an art dealer. He had to take a loss on sales of works of art and was unable to sell his own works. His mother-in-law was financially strained during this period due to the loss of rental income from farmland due to the war. In one instance, she rented out land near Schoonhoven that was flooded to prevent the French army from crossing the Dutch Water Line. The farmland was not arable for a time. Thins reduced the money that she spent to support the Vermeers. In 1675, Vermeer went on several business trips for his mother-in-law, first to Gouda, when her husband had died, and then to Amsterdam. There Vermeer borrowed money by fraudulently using her name.Vermeer died and was buried on 15 December 1675. Unable to pay their debts, Catharina blamed the financial fallout of the war for their losses and petitioned for bankruptcy in April 1676. Ten of their eleven children were still underage when Vermeer died. Catharina continued to live at her mother's house with their children. After Vermeer's death, Maria Thins received The Art of Painting for her financial support of Catharina's family. Catharina paid off other debts with paintings or used them as surety until she paid off debts.Later years and deathThins died and was buried on 27 December 1680. The burial record states that she was the widow of Reijnier Bolnes. Thins crafted her will to maximize her grandchildren's support and education, preventing her estate from going to Catharina's creditors. The grandchildren were assigned a guardian, Hendrick van Eem, to look out for their interests. Catharina, considered responsible, was encouraged by her mother to ensure that her children were educated so that they could support themselves. Her daughter Catharina moved to Breda. Catharina Bolnes received \"Holy Oil\" on 23 December 1687, before being buried on 2 January 1688.See alsoWriting to Vermeer an opera depicting Maria Thins and Catharina BolnesPassage 2:Baroness Gösta von dem Bussche-HaddenhausenBaroness Gösta von dem Bussche-Haddenhausen (German: Freiin Gösta Julie Adelheid Marion Marie von dem Bussche-Haddenhausen; 26 January 1902 – 13 June 1996) was the mother of Prince Claus of the Netherlands, who was the Prince Consort of Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands, thus making her the mother-in-law of the former Dutch Queen. She is also the paternal grandmother of King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands, who is the current Dutch King.Early lifeGösta was born at Döbeln, Kingdom of Saxony, German Empire (now Saxony, Germany), the second child and daughter of Baron George von dem Bussche-Haddenhausen (1869–1923), and his wife, Baroness Gabriele von dem Bussche-Ippenburg (1877–1973). Her father belonged to the Bussche-Haddenhausen branch of the Bussche family, her mother belonged to the Bussche-Ippenburg branch. Both descended from Clamor von dem Bussche (1532–1573).Her mother was the heir of Dötzingen estate near Hitzacker, which her maternal grandfather had inherited from the counts von Oeynhausen after 1918. Gösta's father was an officer in the Royal Saxon Army. Dötzingen estate later passed on to her brother Baron Julius von dem Bussche-Haddenhausen (1906–1977). After her return from Africa, and her husband's death in 1963, she spent the rest of her life in Dötzingen.MarriageGösta married on 4 September 1924 at Hitzacker to Claus Felix von Amsberg (1890–1963), son of Wilhelm von Amsberg and Elise von Vieregge.Together they had six daughters and one son:Sigrid von Amsberg (Hitzacker-Dötzingen, 26 June 1925 – 1 April 2018), married in 1952 to Ascan-Bernd Jencquel (17 August 1913 – 4 November 2003), had issue.Claus von Amsberg (Hitzacker-Dötzingen, 6 September 1926 – Amsterdam, 6 October 2002), married in 1966 to Beatrix of the Netherlands (b. 31 January 1938), had issue.Rixa von Amsberg (Hitzacker-Dötzingen, 18 November 1927 – 6 January 2010), married to Peter Ahrend (17 April 1920 – 2011), no issue.Margit von Amsberg (Bumbuli, 16 October 1930 – 1988), married in 1964 to Ernst Grubitz (14 April 1931 – 5 June 2009), had issue.Barbara von Amsberg (Bumbuli, 16 October 1930), married in 1963 to Günther Haarhaus (22 October 1921 – 9 February 2007), had issue.Theda von Amsberg (Tanga, 30 June 1939), married in 1966 to Baron Karl von Friesen (b. 1933), had issue.Christina von Amsberg (Salisbury, 20 January 1945), married in 1971 to Baron Hans Hubertus von der Recke (b. 1942), had issue.Life in AfricaHer husband had returned "} +{"doc_id":"doc_236","qid":"","text":"Passage 1:Tarcisio FuscoTarcisio Fusco was an Italian composer of film scores.

He was a contemporary and probable acquaintance of Ockeghem, and was the composer of at least one of the first unified mass cycles to bewritten in continental Europe.LifeDomarto's life is poorly documented. He was listed as a singer at the Church of Our Lady in Antwerp in 1449, five years afterOckeghem was known to be there, and there is evidence he was in Tournai in 1451. He had a high reputation (which makes the lack of documentation on his lifecurious), but even so was passed over for a post as master of the choirboys (in favor of Paulus Iuvenis). No other documentation on his life has yet come tolight.Music and reputationDomarto's two mass settings, the Missa Spiritus almus and a Missa sine nomine, were famous at the time. The latter of the two mayhave been one of the earliest cyclic masses composed on the continent, most likely in the 1440s, and imitates some features of contemporary English composerssuch as Leonel Power. The Missa Spiritus almus, likely dating from the 1450s, is a cantus-firmus mass, with the melody always in the tenor, but with a changingrhythmic profile as it changes mensuration throughout the piece. The procedure was evidently influential on the next generation of composers, for it was stillbeing copied in the 1480s, and Busnois may have based one of his own masses on the same method (the Missa O crux lignum). The theorist and writer JohannesTinctoris criticised it for exactly the features that inspired other composers.The two surviving secular compositions by Domarto are both rondeaux, formes fixes ofthe type popular with the Burgundian School.WorksMassesMissa Spiritus almus (four voices)Missa sine nomine (three voices)SecularRondeaux, each for threevoices:Chelui qui est tant plain de duelJe vis tous jours en esperanceNotesPassage 3:Bullet (Misfits song)\"Bullet\" is the second single released by the horror punkband the Misfits. The four tracks comprising the EP were recorded, along with thirteen others, in early 1978 for the proposed Static Age album. When the bandcould not find a record label to release the album, they instead released four of the songs as \"Bullet\" on singer Glenn Danzig's label Plan 9 Records. The songswere re-released in different versions over subsequent years, until Static Age was finally released in its entirety in 1996.BackgroundIn August 1977 the Misfitsreleased their debut single \"Cough/Cool\" on Blank Records, a label operated by singer Glenn Danzig. Several months later Mercury Records issued a Pere Uburecord on their own Blank Records imprint, unaware that Danzig held a trademark on the name. They offered him thirty hours of studio time in exchange for therights to the Blank Records name, which he accepted. In January and February 1978 the Misfits, then consisting of Danzig, guitarist Franché Coma, bassist JerryOnly, and drummer Mr. Jim, recorded seventeen songs at C.I. Recordings in New York City with engineer and producer Dave Achelis. Because of the timeconstraints they recorded the songs live in the studio with only a few takes each and very few overdubs. They mixed fourteen of them with Achelis for theirproposed first album, to be titled Static Age. However, the band were unable to find a record label interested in releasing the album, and instead released four ofthe tracks as the \"Bullet\" EP in June 1978 on Danzig's new label Plan 9 Records.The song \"Bullet\" references the 1963 assassination of John F. Kennedy, withsexually explicit lyrics directed at his wife Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis: \"Texas is an outrage when your husband is dead/Texas is an outrage when they pick uphis head/Texas is the reason that the President's dead/You gotta suck, suck, Jackie, suck\".Pressing informationThe first pressing of \"Bullet\" consisted of 1,000copies on black 7\" vinyl with a gatefold cover and lyrics sheet. These copies had \"distributed by Ork\" printed on the back sleeve, as a distribution deal with OrkRecords had been planned, but distribution through Ork never took place. A second pressing of 2,000 on red vinyl had a different back cover, removing the bandphoto and mention of Ork and replacing it with artwork of a bullet hole and the words \"better dead on red\". 7,000 additional copies were later pressed on blackvinyl with the same cover as the second pressing.Re-releases and other versionsAll four songs from \"Bullet\" were reissued on the Beware EP in January 1980, anda live version of \"We Are 138\" appeared on the Evilive EP in 1982. The compilation album Misfits (1986), released three years after the band's breakup, included\"Bullet\" and \"Hollywood Babylon\", while Collection II (1995) included \"We Are 138\" and \"Attitude\".The Misfits box set in 1996 presented the complete Static Agealbum for the first time, including all four tracks from the \"Bullet\" single. Static Age was also released as a separate album that July.Cover versions\"Bullet\" wascovered by Refused for the Children In Heat compilation, and the Hellacopters covered it on the tribute album Hell on Earth: A Tribute to the Misfits (2000).Entombed also covered \"Hollywood Babylon\" on the same album. \"Attitude\" was covered by Sum 41, the Slackers, and Guns N' Roses.

He published under the pseudonym Amicus, Latin for \"friend\".Early lifePeter DoddsMcCormick was born to Peter McCormick and Janet (née Dodds) at Port Glasgow, Scotland in 1833.BiographyPeter completed an apprenticeship as a joiner inScotland before emigrating to Sydney (at that time the principal city of the British colony of New South Wales) on 21 February 1855. He initially worked as ajoiner for \"some years\".McCormick spent most of his work life employed by the NSW Education Department. In 1863 he was appointed teacher-in charge at StMary's National School. McCormick married Emily Boucher, a sewing teacher, on 16 July 1863, who died on 11 March 1866, aged 22. He remarried, to EmmaElizabeth Dening, on 22 December 1866. He also taught at the Presbyterian Denominational school in the Sydney suburb of Woolloomooloo in 1867. McCormickthen moved to Dowling Plunkett Street Public School in 1878 where he remained until 1885.McCormick was heavily involved in the Scottish Presbyterian Churchand was active in a number of community and benevolent organisations. He began his involvement with Sydney's St Stephen's Church as a stonemason, workingon the now demolished Phillip Street Church (where Martin Place now stands). The Rev Hugh Darling was so impressed with his singing on the job he asked himto join the choir. McCormick's musical ability led him to becoming the precentor of the Presbyterian Church of NSW, which gave him the opportunity to conductvery large massed choirs. He was also convenor of the Presbyterian Church Assembly's Committee on Psalmody.Also a talented composer, he published around30 patriotic and Scottish songs, some of which became very popular. Included in his collected works was \"Advance Australia Fair\", which was first performed inpublic by Andrew Fairfax at the St Andrew's Day concert of the Highland Society on 30 November 1878.\"Advance Australia Fair\" became quite a popular patrioticsong. The Sydney Morning Herald described the music as bold and stirring, and the words \"decidedly patriotic\" – it was \"likely to become a popularfavourite\". Later under the pseudonym Amicus (which means 'friend' in Latin), he had the music and four verses published by W. H. Paling & Co. Ltd. The songquickly gained popularity and an amended version was sung by a choir of 10,000 at the inauguration of the Commonwealth of Australia on 1 January 1901. In1907, the New South Wales Government awarded McCormick £100 for his patriotic composition which he registered for copyright in 1915.In a letter to R. B. FullerEsq., dated 1 August 1913, McCormick described the circumstances that inspired him to pen the lyrics of his famous song:One night I attended a great concert inthe Exhibition Building, when all the National Anthems of the world were to be sung by a large choir with band accompaniment. This was very nicely done, but Ifelt very aggravated that there was not one note for Australia. On the way home in a bus, I concocted the first verse of my song & when I got home I set it tomusic. I first wrote it in the Tonic Sol-fa notation, then transcribed it into the Old Notation, & I tried it over on an instrument next morning, & found it correct.Strange to say there has not been a note of it altered since. Some alteration has been made in the wording, but the sense is the same. It seemed to me to be likean inspiration, & I wrote the words & music with the greatest ease.DeathMcCormick died in 1916, aged 83, at his home, Clydebank, in the Sydney suburb ofWaverley and he was buried at Rookwood Cemetery. He had no children; he was survived by his second wife Emma. His obituary in the Sydney Morning Heraldstated: \"Mr. McCormick established a reputation with the patriotic song, Advance Australia Fair, which ... has come to be recognised as something in the nature ofan Australian National Anthem\".The song was performed by massed bands at the Federal capital celebrations in Canberra in 1927. In 1984 it was formallydeclared as the Australian national anthem.Passage 5:Walter Robinson (composer)Walter Robinson is an American composer of the late 20th century.

Deren after claimed that the location was important for the structure of the film. Also thelyrical aspect of Japanese Haiku motivated the fim as well.Passage 7:Maya DerenMaya Deren (born Eleonora Derenkovskaya, Ukrainian: Елеоно́раДеренко́вська; May 12 [O.S. April 29] 1917 – October 13, 1961) was a Ukrainian-born (then part of the Russian Empire, now independent Ukraine) Americanexperimental filmmaker and important part of the avant-garde in the 1940s and 1950s. Deren was also a choreographer, dancer, film theorist, poet, lecturer,writer, and photographer.The function of film, Deren believed, was to create an experience. She combined her expertise in dance and choreography,ethnography, the African spirit religion of Haitian Vodou, symbolist poetry and gestalt psychology (student of Kurt Koffka) in a series of perceptual,black-and-white short films. Using editing, multiple exposures, jump-cutting, superimposition, slow-motion, and other camera techniques to her advantage,Deren abandoned established notions of physical space and time, innovating through carefully planned films with specific conceptual aims.Meshes of theAfternoon (1943), her collaboration with her husband at the time Alexander Hammid, has been one of the most influential experimental films in American cinemahistory. Deren went on to make several more films, including but not limited to At Land (1944), A Study in Choreography for Camera (1945), and Ritual inTransfigured Time (1946), writing, producing, directing, editing, and photographing them with help from only one other person, Hella Heyman, hercamerawoman.Early lifeDeren was born May 12 [O.S. April 29] 1917 in Kyiv, Ukraine, Russian Empire, now independent Ukraine, into a Jewish family, topsychologist Solomon Derenkowsky and Gitel-Malka (Marie) Fiedler, who supposedly named her after Italian actress Eleonora Duse.In 1922, the family fled theUkrainian SSR because of antisemitic pogroms perpetrated by the White Volunteer Army and moved to Syracuse, New York. Her father shortened the familyname from Derenkovskaya to \"Deren\" shortly after they arrived in New York. He became the staff psychiatrist at the State Institute for the Feeble-Minded inSyracuse. Deren's mother was a musician and dancer who had studied these arts in Kyiv.

She was educated as a Quaker at Ackworth School in Yorkshire. The family resided inEdinburgh, later moving to Aberdeen. As Quakers, Smeal's family were unusual in Scotland. The 1851 census shows that there were fewer than 400 activeScottish Quakers at the time.Smeal became the leader and secretary of the radical Glasgow Ladies Emancipation Society. Her brother William in 1822 founded theGlasgow Anti-Slavery Society, a forerunner of the Glasgow Emancipation Society, and was later active in the latter. Smeal had a record of anti-slavery activity,long before the Free Church became involved in the issue.In 1838 she published an important pamphlet with Elizabeth Pease of Darlington titled Address to theWomen of Great Britain. This document called for British women to speak in public and to form anti-slavery organisations for women. An address that Smealprepared for Queen Victoria has been credited with being the \"final blow\" that ended slavery in the Caribbean.In 1840 Smeal became the second wife of theQuaker John Wigham, who was a tea merchant and active abolitionist in Glasgow. In 1830, Wigham's wife and two of their children died however the family wasrevitalized when he married Smeal. Jane Smeal became Jane Wigham and she formed a close friendship and collaboration with her stepdaughter, Eliza Wigham.Smeal and Wigham's marriage took place in the same year as the World's Anti-Slavery Convention in London, where Eliza was one of the delegates.After theLadies' Emancipation Society ceased activity, Jane and Eliza, along with some of their friends, set up the Edinburgh chapter of the National Society of Women'sSuffrage. Priscilla Bright McLaren, the president, Elizabeth Pease, the treasurer, and McLaren's daughter Agnes McLaren joined Eliza as joint secretaries.

In the first innings of his first match, against Lancashire at The Oval, he took five wickets for 81 runs.In his first full season, 1948,he was Surrey's leading wicket-taker and in the last home game of the season he was awarded his county cap – he celebrated by taking eight Northamptonshirewickets for 46 runs at The Oval, six of them coming in the space of 6.3 overs for seven runs. This would remain the best bowling performance of his first-classcareer, not surpassed, but he did equal it seven years later. In the following game, the last away match of the season, he took 10 Hampshire wickets for 150 runsin the match at Bournemouth. In the 1948 season as a whole, he took 91 wickets at an average of 28.07. As a tail-end left-handed batsman, he managed just 93runs in the season at an average of 4.22.The emergence of Tony Lock as a slow left-arm bowler in 1949 brought a stuttering end of McMahon's Surrey career.Though he played in 12 first-class matches in the 1949 season, McMahon took only 19 wickets; a similar number of matches in 1950 brought 34 wickets. In 1951,he played just seven times and in 1952 only three times. In 1953, Lock split the first finger of his left hand, and played in only 11 of Surrey's CountyChampionship matches; McMahon played as his deputy in 14 Championship matches, though a measure of their comparative merits was that Lock's 11 gamesproduced 67 wickets at 12.38 runs apiece, while McMahon's 14 games brought him 45 wickets at the, for him, low average of 21.53. At the end of the 1953season, McMahon was allowed to leave Surrey to join Somerset, then languishing at the foot of the County Championship and recruiting widely from othercounties and other countries.Somerset cricketerSomerset's slow bowling in 1954 was in the hands of leg-spinner Johnny Lawrence, with support from the off-spinof Jim Hilton while promising off-spinner Brian Langford was on national service. McMahon filled a vacancy for a left-arm orthodox spinner that had been theresince the retirement of Horace Hazell at the end of the 1952 season; Hazell's apparent successor, Roy Smith, had failed to realise his promise as a bowler in1953, though his batting had advanced significantly.McMahon instantly became a first-team regular and played in almost every match during his four years withthe county, not missing a single Championship game until he was controversially dropped from the side in August 1957, after which he did not play in theChampionship again.In the 1954 season, McMahon, alongside fellow newcomer Hilton, was something of a disappointment, according to Wisden: \"The new spinbowlers, McMahon and Hilton, did not attain to the best standards of their craft in a wet summer, yet, like the rest of the attack, they would have fared betterwith reasonable support in the field and from their own batsmen,\" it said. McMahon took 85 wickets at an average of 27.47 (Hilton took only 42 at a higheraverage). His best match was against Essex at Weston-super-Mare where he took six for 96 in the first innings and five for 45 in the second to finish with matchfigures of 11 for 141, which were the best of his career. He was awarded his county cap in the 1954 season, but Somerset remained at the bottom of thetable.The figures for the 1955 were similar: McMahon this time took 75 wickets at 28.77 apiece. There was a small improvement in his batting and the arrival ofBryan Lobb elevated McMahon to No 10 in the batting order for most of the season, and he responded with 262 runs and an average of 9.03. This included hishighest-ever score, 24, made in the match against Sussex at Frome. A week later in Somerset's next match, he equalled his best-ever bowling performance,taking eight Kent wickets for 46 runs in the first innings of a match at Yeovil through what Wisden called \"clever variation of flight and spin\". These matchesbrought two victories for Somerset, but there were only two others in the 1955 season and the side finished at the bottom of the Championship for the fourthseason running.At the end of the 1955 season, Lawrence retired and McMahon became Somerset's senior spin bowler for the 1956 season, with Langfordreturning from National Service as the main support. McMahon responded with his most successful season so far, taking 103 wickets at an average of 25.57, theonly season in his career in which he exceeded 100 wickets. The bowling average improved still further in 1957 to 23.10 when McMahon took 86 wickets. But hisseason came to an abrupt end in mid-August 1957 when, after 108 consecutive Championship matches, he was dropped from the first team during theWeston-super-Mare festival. Though he played some games for the second eleven later in August, he regained his place in the first team for only a singleend-of-season friendly match, and he was told that his services were not required for the future, a decision, said Wisden, that \"proved highlycontroversial\".Sacked by SomersetThe reason behind McMahon's sacking did not become public knowledge for many years.

He was the director of the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem for 17 months,resigning December 31, 2020. He was the director of the Toledo Museum of Art in Ohio from 2010 to 2019. He was the director of the Hood Museum of Art from2005 to 2010, and the National Gallery of Australia (Canberra) from 1997 to 2004.CareerBrian Kennedy currently lives and works in the United States afterleaving Australia in 2005 to direct the Hood Museum of Art at Dartmouth College. In October 2010 he became the ninth Director of the Toledo Museum of Art. On1 July 2019, he succeeded Dan Monroe as the executive director and CEO of the Peabody Essex Museum.Early life and career in IrelandKennedy was born inDublin and attended Clonkeen College. He received B.A. (1982), M.A. (1985) and PhD (1989) degrees from University College-Dublin, where he studied both arthistory and history.He worked in the Irish Department of Education (1982), the European Commission, Brussels (1983), and in Ireland at the Chester BeattyLibrary (1983–85), Government Publications Office (1985–86), and Department of Finance (1986–89). He married Mary Fiona Carlin in 1988.He was AssistantDirector at the National Gallery of Ireland in Dublin from 1989 to 1997. He was Chair of the Irish Association of Art Historians from 1996 to 1997, and of theCouncil of Australian Art Museum Directors from 2001 to 2003. In September 1997 he became Director of the National Gallery of Australia.National Gallery ofAustralia (NGA)Kennedy expanded the traveling exhibitions and loans program throughout Australia, arranged for several major shows of Australian art abroad,increased the number of exhibitions at the museum itself and oversaw the development of an extensive multi-media site. Although he oversaw several years ofthe museum's highest ever annual visitation, he discontinued the emphasis of his predecessor, Betty Churcher, on showing \"blockbuster\" exhibitions.During hisdirectorship, the NGA gained government support for improving the building and significant private donations and corporate sponsorship. However, the initialdesign for the building proved controversial generating a public dispute with the original architect on moral rights grounds. As a result, the project was notdelivered during Dr Kennedy's tenure, with a significantly altered design completed some years later. Private funding supported two acquisitions of British art,including David Hockney's A Bigger Grand Canyon in 1999, and Lucian Freud's After Cézanne in 2001. Kennedy built on the established collections at the museumby acquiring the Holmgren-Spertus collection of Indonesian textiles; the Kenneth Tyler collection of editioned prints, screens, multiples and unique proofs; andthe Australian Print Workshop Archive. He was also notable for campaigning for the construction of a new \"front\" entrance to the Gallery, facing King EdwardTerrace, which was completed in 2010 (see reference to the building project above).Kennedy's cancellation of the \"Sensation exhibition\" (scheduled at the NGAfrom 2 June 2000 to 13 August 2000) was controversial, and seen by some as censorship. He claimed that the decision was due to the exhibition being \"too closeto the market\" implying that a national cultural institution cannot exhibit the private collection of a speculative art investor. However, there were other exhibitionsat the NGA during his tenure, which could have raised similar concerns. The exhibition featured the privately owned Young British Artists works belonging toCharles Saatchi and attracted large attendances in London and Brooklyn. Its most controversial work was Chris Ofili's The Holy Virgin Mary, a painting which usedelephant dung and was accused of being blasphemous. The then-mayor of New York, Rudolph Giuliani, campaigned against the exhibition, claiming it was\"Catholic-bashing\" and an \"aggressive, vicious, disgusting attack on religion.\" In November 1999, Kennedy cancelled the exhibition and stated that the events inNew York had \"obscured discussion of the artistic merit of the works of art\". He has said that it \"was the toughest decision of my professional life, so far.\"Kennedywas also repeatedly questioned on his management of a range of issues during the Australian Government's Senate Estimates process - particularly on the NGA'soccupational health and safety record and concerns about the NGA's twenty-year-old air-conditioning system. The air-conditioning was finally renovated in 2003.Kennedy announced in 2002 that he would not seek extension of his contract beyond 2004, accepting a seven-year term as had his two predecessors.He becamea joint Irish-Australian citizen in 2003.Toledo Museum of ArtThe Toledo Museum of Art is known for its exceptional collections of European and American paintingsand sculpture, glass, antiquities, artist books, Japanese prints and netsuke. The museum offers free admission and is recognized for its historical leadership in thefield of art education. During his tenure, Kennedy has focused the museum's art education efforts on visual literacy, which he defines as \"learning to read,understand and write visual language.\" Initiatives have included baby and toddler tours, specialized training for all staff, docents, volunteers and the launch of awebsite, www.vislit.org. In November 2014, the museum hosted the International Visual Literacy Association (IVLA) conference, the first Museum to do so.Kennedy has been a frequent speaker on the topic, including 2010 and 2013 TEDx talks on visual and sensory literacy.Kennedy has expressed an interest inexpanding the museum's collection of contemporary art and art by indigenous peoples. Works by Frank Stella, Sean Scully, Jaume Plensa, Ravinder Reddy andMary Sibande have been acquired. In addition, the museum has made major acquisitions of Old Master paintings by Frans Hals and Luca Giordano.During histenure the Toledo Museum of Art has announced the return of several objects from its collection due to claims the objects were stolen and/or illegally exportedprior being sold to the museum. In 2011 a Meissen sweetmeat stand was returned to Germany followed by an Etruscan Kalpis or water jug to Italy (2013), anIndian sculpture of Ganesha (2014) and an astrological compendium to Germany in 2015.Hood Museum of ArtKennedy became Director of the Hood Museum ofArt in July 2005. During his tenure, he implemented a series of large and small-scale exhibitions and oversaw the production of more than 20 publications to bringgreater public attention to the museum's remarkable collections of the arts of America, Europe, Africa, Papua New Guinea and the Polar regions. At 70,000objects, the Hood has one of the largest collections on any American college of university campus. The exhibition, Black Womanhood: Images, Icons, andIdeologies of the African Body, toured several US venues. Kennedy increased campus curricular use of works of art, with thousands of objects pulled from storagefor classes annually.

He went on to make some of the most innovative early sound films in France, before going abroad to work in the UK and USA for more than a decade. Returning to France after World War II, he continued to make films that were characterised by their elegance and wit, often presenting a nostalgic view of French life in earlier years. He was elected to the Académie Française in 1960. Clair's best known films include Un chapeau de paille d'Italie (The Italian Straw Hat, 1928), Sous les toits de Paris (Under the Roofs of Paris, 1930), Le Million (1931), À nous la liberté (1931), I Married a Witch (1942), and And Then There Were None (1945).Early lifeRené Clair was born and grew up in Paris in the district of Les Halles, whose lively and picturesque character made a lasting impression on him. His father was a soap merchant; he had an elder brother, Henri Chomette (born 1896). He attended the Lycée Montaigne and the Lycée Louis-le-Grand. In 1914 he was studying philosophy; his friends at that time included Raymond Payelle who became the actor and writer Philippe Hériat.In 1917, at the age of 18, he served as an ambulance driver in World War I, before being invalided out with a spinal injury. He was deeply affected by the horrors of war that he witnessed and gave expression to this in writing a volume of poetry called La Tête de l'homme (which remained unpublished). Back in Paris after the war, he started a career as a journalist at the left-wing newspaper L'Intransigeant.Film careerHaving met the music-hall singer Damia and written some songs for her, Clair was persuaded by her to visit Gaumont studios in 1920 where a film was being cast and he then agreed to take on a leading role in Le Lys de la vie, directed by Loïe Fuller and Gabrielle Sorère. He adopted the stage-name of René Clair, and several other acting jobs followed, including Parisette for Louis Feuillade. In 1922 he extended his career as a journalist, becoming the editor of a new film supplement to a monthly magazine, Théâtre et Comœdia illustrés. He also visited Belgium and after an introduction from his brother Henri, he became an assistant to the director Jacques de Baroncelli on several films.1924–1934In 1924, with the support of the producer Henri Diamant-Berger, Clair got the opportunity to direct his own first film, Paris qui dort (The Crazy Ray), a short comic fantasy. Before it had been shown however, Clair was asked by Francis Picabia and Erik Satie to make a short film to be shown as part of their Dadaist ballet Relâche; he made Entr'acte (1924), and it established Clair as a leading member of the Parisian avant-garde.Fantasy and dreams were also components of his next two films, but in 1926 Clair took a new direction when he joined Alexandre Kamenka's Films Albatros company to film a dramatic story, La Proie du vent (The Prey of the Wind), which met with commercial success. He remained at Albatros for his last two silent films, Un chapeau de paille d'Italie (An Italian Straw Hat) and Les Deux Timides (Two Timid Souls) (both 1928), in which he sought to translate the essentially verbal comedy of two plays by Labiche into works of silent cinema. While at Albatros, Clair met the designer Lazare Meerson and the cameraman Georges Périnal who were to remain important collaborators with him for the next decade. By the end of the silent era, Clair was celebrated as one of the great names in cinema, alongside Griffith, Chaplin, Pabst and Eisenstein. As the author of all of his own scripts, who also paid close attention to every aspect of the making of a film, including the editing, Clair was one of the first French film-makers to establish for himself the full role of an auteur.Clair was initially sceptical about the introduction of sound to films, and called it \"an unnatural creation\". He then realised the creative possibilities that it offered, particularly, in his view, if the soundtrack was not used realistically; words and pictures need not, and indeed should not, be tied together in a clumsy duplication of information; dialogue did not always need to be heard. Between 1930 and 1933, Clair explored these ideas in his first four sound films, starting with Sous les toits de Paris (Under the Roofs of Paris); this was followed by Le Million (1931), À nous la liberté (1931), and Quatorze juillet (Bastille Day) (1933). All of these films portrayed an affectionate and idealized view of working class life, and they did much to create a popular romantic image of Paris which was seen around the world. These films were made at the Epinay Studios for Films Sonores Tobis, a French subsidiary of the German-owned Tobis company.When Chaplin made Modern Times in 1936, it was noted that some parts of it bore a marked similarity to scenes in À nous la liberté, and the production company Tobis launched a lawsuit for plagiarism against United Artists, the producers of Chaplin's film. Clair was embarrassed by this since he acknowledged his own debt to the spirit of Chaplin, and he refused to be associated with the action.After the immense success of these early sound films, Clair met with a major setback when his next film, Le Dernier Milliardaire (The Last Billionaire/The Last Millionaire) (1934), was a critical and commercial flop. While he was visiting London for the film's British première, he met Alexander Korda who offered him a contract to work in England. He accepted, and began a lengthy period of exile from film-making in France.1935–1946Clair's contract with Korda's London Films was for two years and it envisaged three films. Because of his limited English, he collaborated with the American dramatist Robert E. Sherwood as script-writer for his first film, The Ghost Goes West (1935), a comic fantasy about transatlantic culture clash. Clair and Sherwood became close friends. In January 1936, Clair visited America for two weeks, checking out for future employment possibilities but still planning to remain with Korda. Korda however rejected Clair's next script and they parted company. Clair's remaining time in England led to only one more completed film, Break the News (1938), a musical comedy with Jack Buchanan and Maurice Chevalier.Returning to France, Clair attempted to make another film there in 1939, Air pur, which was to be a celebration of youth and childhood, but the outbreak of war interrupted filming and it was abandoned. In May 1940, Jean Giraudoux, then Minister of Information, suggested to Clair that the film profession should concentrate its resources in the south of country in Nice and Marseille – and if necessary establish a French production centre in the United States. It was with this last plan in mind that Clair and his family, along with Julien Duvivier, departed for America, but by the time he reached New York the project had already fallen through and he went straight on to Hollywood where several studios were interested in employing him. He made his first American film for Universal Studios, The Flame of New Orleans (1941), but it was such a commercial failure that for a time Clair's career as a director was in the balance. After more than a year's delay, his next film was I Married a Witch (1942), followed by It Happened Tomorrow (1944), both of which did respectably well, and then And Then There Were None (1945), which turned out to be an exceptional commercial success despite being perhaps the least personal of his Hollywood ventures. Each of Clair's American films was made for a different studio.In 1941 Clair was stripped of his French citizenship by the Vichy government, though this was later reversed. It was also in 1941 that he learned of the death of his brother Henri Chomette in France from polio. In 1943, he was planning to go to Algeria to organise the Service Cinématographique de l'Armée, but funding for the project was withdrawn just as he was on the point of departure. In July 1945 he went back to France for a short visit, and then returned finally in July 1946, having signed a contract with RKO for his next film to be made in France.Clair's American exile had allowed him to develop his characteristic vein of ironical fantasy with several commercially successful films, but there was some feeling that it had been at the expense of personal control and that his output there had not matched the quality of his earlier work in France. Clair himself recognised that being employed by the highly organized American studios had allowed him to work in ideal circumstances: \"In spite of the restrictions of the American system, it is possible, if one wishes, to take responsibility. In my four Hollywood films I managed to do what I wanted.\"1947–1965Clair's first film on his return to France was the romantic comedy Le silence est d'or (Silence is Golden) (1947), which was set in 1906 and nostalgically evoked the world of early French film-making; its plot also created variations on Molière's L'École des femmes. Clair considered it one of his best post-war films. Literary inspirations also underpinned other films: Faust for La Beauté du diable (Beauty and the Devil) (1950); and Don Juan for Les Grandes Manœuvres (1955). In these two films and the intervening Les Belles de nuit (Beauties of the Night) (1952), the leading actor was Gérard Philipe who became a friend and a favourite performer for Clair. Porte des Lilas (1957) was a sombre film, set once again in a popular district of Paris with its picturesque inhabitants, for which the singer Georges Brassens was persuaded to give his only film performance.During the 1950s, as a new generation of French critics and film-makers emerged who were impatient of the prevailing modes of film production, Clair found himself increasingly criticised as a representative of the cinéma de qualité, a \"cinema of old men\" dominated by nostalgia for their younger days. His status as a figure of the 'establishment' was further confirmed by his election to the Académie Française in 1960. Although he continued to make a few more films in comic vein such as Tout l'or du monde (All the Gold in the World) (1961), they were not well received and he made his last film, Les Fêtes galantes (The Lace Wars), in 1965.Writing and later workClair began his career as a journalist, and writing remained an important interest for him to which he increasingly turned in his later years. In 1926 he published a novel, Adams (translated into English as Star Turn), about a Hollywood star for whom the distinction between the real and unreal becomes blurred. He occasionally returned to writing fiction (La Princesse de Chine and Jeux du hasard), but many of his publications dealt with the cinema, including reflections on his own films. Apart from many journal articles, his main publications were:Adams. (Paris: Grasset, 1926). English translation, Star Turn, (London: Chatto & Windus, 1936).Réflexion faite. (Paris: Gallimard, 1951).

Wilhelm was a Prince of Baden, and a member of the House of Zähringen.FamilyWilhelm was born in Karlsruhe, Grand Duchy of Baden, on18 December 1829 as the fifth child and third surviving son of Leopold, Grand Duke of Baden, and his wife Princess Sophie of Sweden. Through his father,Wilhelm was a grandson of Charles Frederick, Grand Duke of Baden and his wife Baroness Louise Caroline Geyer of Geyersberg and through his mother, agrandson of Gustav IV Adolf of Sweden and his wife Frederica of Baden.Wilhelm was a brother of Alexandrine, Duchess of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, Louis II, GrandDuke of Baden, Frederick I, Grand Duke of Baden, Prince Charles of Baden, Marie, Princess Ernest of Leiningen, and Grand Duchess Olga Feodorovna ofRussia.Military careerDuring his brief service in the Baden Federal Contingent (German: Baden Bundescontingente), Wilhelm attained the rank of Lieutenant in1847 and First Lieutenant in 1849. Beginning between 1849 and 1850, he served as a First Lieutenant in the 1st Foot Guards (German: 1. Garde-Regiment zuFuß) infantry regiment of the Royal Prussian Army. Wilhelm received his formal education in the Prussian Army. From 1856, Wilhelm served as Major of the GuardArtillery (German: Gardeartillerie) and served as the last Major General and Commander of the Guards Artillery Brigade (German: Gardeartilleriebrigade).Wilhelm retired from Prussian military service in 1863 with the rank of Lieutenant General, shortly before his marriage to Princess Maria ofLeuchtenberg.Austro-Prussian WarIn 1866, during the Austro-Prussian War between the Kingdom of Prussia and the Austrian Empire, Wilhelm assumed commandof the Baden Division of the 8th Federal Corps (German: 8. Bundeskorps) siding with the Austrian-led German Confederation. The dissolution of the 8th FederalCorps began on 30 July 1866 when Wilhelm sent a flag of truce along with a letter to the Prussian headquarters at Marktheidenfeld. The letter stated thatWilhelm's father Leopold, Grand Duke of Baden, had entered into direct negotiations with Wilhelm I of Prussia and that King Wilhelm I granted the Baden troopspermission to return to their homes.Immediately following the Austro-Prussian War, Wilhelm reformed the army of Baden based upon the Prussian system.Wilhelm and Prince August of Württemberg were the two south German princes who were foremost in securing the union of the Northern and Southern Germanstates.

The resistance was not easily subdued and the Germans suffered heavy losses, however according to historian GustaveLouis Maurice Strauss, \"[Wilhelm] carried the heights of St. Apollinari in gallant style and occupied the suburbs from which the Germans ultimately forced theirway into the city where fierce fights from barricade to barricade from house to house lasted till midnight.\" Dijon was occupied by 24,000 Prussians on 18 January1870, but was reoccupied by the French after a severe battle, and subsequently retaken by the Prussians on 19 January, during which Wilhelm was shot in hischeek at Nuits-Saint-Georges.Post-war careerIn 1895, Kaiser Wilhelm II promoted him à la suite to the Grenadier Regiment (German: Leibgrenadierregimentes)in honor of the 25th anniversary of the Battle of Nuits-Saint-Georges.

He was the eldest son of John Howard, 1st Duke of Norfolk, byhis first wife, Catharina de Moleyns. The Duke was the grandfather of both Queen Anne Boleyn and Queen Catherine Howard and the great-grandfather of QueenElizabeth I. In 1513 he led the English to victory over the Scots at the decisive Battle of Flodden, for which he was richly rewarded by King Henry VIII, then awayin France.Early lifeThomas Howard was born in 1443 at Stoke-by-Nayland, Suffolk, the only surviving son of John Howard, later 1st Duke of Norfolk, by his firstwife, Katherine, the daughter of Sir William Moleyns (died 8 June 1425) and his wife Margery. He was educated at Thetford Grammar School.Service underEdward IVWhile a young man, he entered the service of King Edward IV as a henchman. Howard took the King's side when war broke out in 1469 with the Earl ofWarwick, and took sanctuary at Colchester when the King fled to Holland in 1470. Howard rejoined the royal forces at Edward's return to England in 1471, andwas severely wounded at the Battle of Barnet on 14 April 1471. He was appointed an esquire of the body in 1473. On 14 January 1478 he was knighted byEdward IV at the marriage of the King's second son, the young Duke of York, and Lady Anne Mowbray (died 1481).Service under Richard IIIAfter the death ofEdward IV on 9 April 1483, Thomas Howard and his father John supported Richard III. Thomas bore the Sword of State at Richard's coronation and served assteward at the coronation banquet. Both Thomas and his father were granted lands by the new King, and Thomas was also granted an annuity of £1000. On 28June 1483, John Howard was created Duke of Norfolk, while Thomas was created Earl of Surrey. Surrey was also sworn of the Privy Council and invested with theOrder of the Garter. In the autumn of that year Norfolk and Surrey suppressed a rebellion against the King by the Duke of Buckingham. Both Howards remainedclose to King Richard throughout his two-year reign, and fought for him at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485, where Surrey was wounded and taken prisoner, and hisfather killed. Surrey was attainted in the first Parliament of the new King, Henry VII, stripped of his lands, and committed to the Tower of London, where he spentthe next three years.Service under Henry VIIHoward was offered an opportunity to escape during the rebellion of the Earl of Lincoln in 1487, but refused, perhapsthereby convincing Henry VII of his loyalty. In May 1489 Henry restored him to the earldom of Surrey, although most of his lands were withheld, and sent him toquell a rebellion in Yorkshire. Surrey remained in the north as the King's lieutenant until 1499. He and his family lived in Sheriff Hutton Castle while in the North.In 1499 he was recalled to court, and accompanied the King on a state visit to France in the following year. In 1501 he was again appointed a member of thePrivy Council, and on 16 June of that year was made Lord High Treasurer. Surrey, Richard Foxe (Bishop of Winchester and Lord Privy Seal) and William Warham(Archbishop of Canterbury and Lord Chancellor), became the King's \"executive triumvirate\". He was entrusted with a number of diplomatic missions. In 1501 hewas involved in the negotiations for Catherine of Aragon's marriage to Arthur, Prince of Wales, and in 1503 conducted Margaret Tudor to Scotland for her weddingto King James IV.Service under Henry VIIISurrey was an executor of the will of King Henry VII when the King died on 21 April 1509, and played a prominent rolein the coronation of King Henry VIII, in which he served as Earl Marshal. He challenged Thomas Wolsey in an effort to become the new King's first minister, buteventually accepted Wolsey's supremacy. Surrey expected to lead the 1513 expedition to France, but was left behind when the King departed for Calais on 30June 1513. Shortly thereafter King James IV of Scotland launched an invasion into England, and Surrey, with the aid of other noblemen and his sons Thomas andEdmund, crushed James's much larger force at the Battle of Flodden, near Branxton, Northumberland, on 9 September 1513. The Scots may have lost as many as10,000 men, and King James was killed. The victory at Flodden brought Surrey great popular renown and royal rewards. On 1 February 1514, he was createdDuke of Norfolk, and his son Thomas was made Earl of Surrey. Both were granted lands and annuities, and the Howard arms were augmented in honour ofFlodden with an inescutcheon bearing the lion of Scotland pierced through the mouth with an arrow, within a double tressure flory-counterflory-gules, an emblemof the Scottish royal arms on rare occasion granted by Scottish kings to a favoured follower as a special mark of favour. The grant by Henry VIII to Howard wasthus a blatant heraldic insult to the kings of Scotland.Final yearsIn the final decade of his life, Norfolk continued his career as a courtier, diplomat and soldier. In1514 he joined Wolsey and Foxe in negotiating the marriage of Mary Tudor to King Louis XII of France, and escorted her to France for the wedding. On 1 May1517, he led a private army of 1,300 retainers into London to suppress the Evil May Day riots. In May 1521 he presided as Lord High Steward over the trial of hisin-law Edward Stafford, 3rd Duke of Buckingham. According to David M. Head, \"he pronounced the sentence of death with tears streaming down his face\".By thespring of 1522, Norfolk was almost 80 years of age and in failing health. He withdrew from court, resigned as Lord Treasurer in favour of his son in December ofthat year, and after attending the opening of Parliament in April 1523, retired to his ducal castle at Framlingham in Suffolk where he died on 21 May 1524. Hisfuneral and burial on 22 June at Thetford Priory were said to have been \"spectacular and enormously expensive, costing over £1300 and including a procession of400 hooded men bearing torches and an elaborate bier surmounted with 100 wax effigies and 700 candles\", befitting the richest and most powerful peer inEngland. After the dissolution of Thetford Priory, the Howard tombs were moved to the Church of St Michael the Archangel, Framlingham. A now-lost monumentalbrass depicting the 2nd Duke was formerly in the Church of St. Mary at Lambeth.Marriages and issueOn 30 April 1472, Howard married Elizabeth Tilney, thedaughter of Sir Frederick Tilney of Ashwellthorpe, Norfolk, and widow of Sir Humphrey Bourchier, slain at Barnet, son and heir apparent of Sir John Bourchier, 1stBaron Berners.

It is unclear if he had two sons named Richard as well or if it was the same person. In the Dukes of Norfolkfamily tree, there is clearly a mistake. Richard Howard is there linked to Agnes Tilney (2nd wife of Thomas Howard), yet is said to born in 1487, which isimpossible to be true, as at the time Thomas Howard was married to Elizabeth Tilney.FootnotesPassage 2:Rhys ap Gruffydd (rebel)Rhys ap Gruffydd(1508–December 1531) was a powerful Welsh landowner who was accused of rebelling against King Henry VIII by plotting with James V of Scotland to becomePrince of Wales. He was executed as a rebel. He married Lady Catherine Howard (b. abt 1499 Ashwellthorpe, Norfolk, England), the daughter of Thomas Howard,2nd Duke of Norfolk and his second wife Agnes Tilney.Early lifeRhys was the grandson of Rhys ap Thomas, the most powerful man in Wales and close ally ofHenry VIII. His father, Gruffydd ap Rhys ap Thomas, died in 1521, leaving him his grandfather's heir. In 1524 Rhys married Catherine Howard, daughter ofThomas Howard, 2nd Duke of Norfolk.As his grandfather's heir, Rhys expected to inherit his estates and titles. When Rhys ap Thomas died in 1525, Henry VIIIgave his most important titles and powers to Walter Devereux, Lord Ferrers, leading to a feud between Rhys and Ferrers, which escalated over the next fewyears.Conflict with FerrersRhys attempted to increase his status in Wales, petitioning Cardinal Thomas Wolsey to be given various posts. The potential for conflictwith Ferrers increased when both men were given the right to extend their number of retainers; this led to the emergence of competing armed gangs. The badblood between Rhys and Ferrers reached a crisis point in June 1529 when Ferrers made a display of his status during preparations for the annual Court of GreatSessions in Carmarthen. Rhys, surrounded by forty armed men, threatened Ferrers with a knife. Rhys was arrested and imprisoned in Carmarthen Castle. Rhys'swife Catherine escalated the situation by collecting hundreds of her supporters and attacking the castle. She later threatened Ferrers himself with an armed gang.In the conflict between the two factions, several of Ferrers's men were killed. The factions continued to cause other disruptions over the coming months, leadingto deaths in street fights and acts of piracy.Treason chargesThe rebellious actions of Rhys's supporters led to Rhys's transfer to prison in London in 1531. By thisstage, Henry was claiming that Rhys was attempting to overthrow his government in Wales. Rhys had added the title Fitz-Urien to his name, referring to Urien,the ancient Welsh ruler of Rheged, a person of mythical significance. Rhys's accusers claimed that this was an attempt to assert himself as Prince of Wales. Hewas supposed to be plotting with James V of Scotland to overthrow Henry in fulfilment of ancient Welsh prophecies.Rhys was convicted of treason and wasexecuted in December 1531. The execution caused widespread dismay and he was openly said to have been innocent. Contemporary writer Ellis Gruffudd,however, argued that the arrogance of the Rhys family had caused their downfall, saying that \"many men regarded his death as Divine retribution for thefalsehoods of his ancestors, his grandfather, and great-grandfather, and for their oppressions and wrongs. They had many a deep curse from the poor people who"} +{"doc_id":"doc_246","qid":"","text":"Passage 1:Muhammad Habib ShakirMuhammad Habib Shakir (1866 in Cairo – 1939 in Cairo) (Arabic: \u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000 \u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000 \u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000) was an Egyptian judge, born inCairo and a graduate from Al-Azhar University.LifeSheikh Mohammed Shakir b.

He was posted as a Norwegian diplomat to the Soviet Union and for some time also managed British diplomaticaffairs there. He returned to Norway in 1929 and served as minister of defence in the governments of Peder Kolstad (1931–32) and Jens Hundseid (1932–33) inrepresenting the Farmers' Party.In 1933, Quisling left the Farmers' Party and founded the fascist Nasjonal Samling (National Gathering). Although he gainedsome popularity after his attacks on the political left, his party failed to win any seats in the Storting, and by 1940, it was still little more than peripheral. On 9April 1940, with the German invasion of Norway in progress, he attempted to seize power in the world's first radio-broadcast coup d'état but failed since theGermans sought to convince the recognized Norwegian government to legitimize the German occupation, as had been done in Denmark during the simultaneousinvasion there, instead of recognizing Quisling. On 1 February 1942, he formed a second government, approved by the Germans, and served as ministerpresident and headed the Norwegian state administration jointly with the German civilian administrator, Josef Terboven. His pro-Nazi puppet government, knownas the Quisling regime, was dominated by ministers from Nasjonal Samling. The collaborationist government participated in Germany's war efforts, and sent Jewsout of the country to concentration camps in occupied Poland (General Government).Quisling was put on trial during the legal purge in Norway after World War II.He was found guilty of charges including embezzlement, murder and high treason against the Norwegian state, and was sentenced to death. He was executed byfiring squad at Akershus Fortress, Oslo, on 24 October 1945.Since his death, Quisling has become one of history's most infamous traitors due to his collaborationwith Nazi Germany. The term quisling has become a byword for \"collaborator\" or \"traitor\" in several languages and reflects the contempt with which Quisling'sconduct has been regarded both at the time and in the present day.Early lifeBackgroundVidkun Abraham Lauritz Jonssøn Quisling (Norwegian pronunciation ) wasborn on 18 July 1887 in Fyresdal, in the Norwegian county of Telemark. He was the son of Church of Norway pastor and genealogist Jon Lauritz Qvisling(1844–1930) and his wife Anna Caroline Bang (1860–1941), the daughter of Jørgen Bang, ship-owner and at the time the richest man in the town of Grimstad inSouth Norway. The elder Quisling had lectured in Grimstad in the 1870s; one of his pupils was Bang, whom he married on 28 May 1886, following a longengagement. The newly-wed couple promptly moved to Fyresdal, where Vidkun and his younger siblings were born.The family name derives from Quislinus, aLatinised name invented by Quisling's ancestor Lauritz Ibsen Quislin (1634–1703), based on the village of Kvislemark near Slagelse, Denmark, whence he hademigrated. Having two brothers and a sister, the young Quisling was \"shy and quiet but also loyal and helpful, always friendly, occasionally breaking into a warmsmile.\" Private letters later found by historians also indicate a warm and affectionate relationship between the family members. From 1893 to 1900, his fatherwas a chaplain for the Strømsø borough in Drammen. Here, Vidkun went to school for the first time. He was bullied by other students at the school for hisTelemark dialect, but proved a successful student. In 1900, the family moved to Skien when his father was appointed provost of the city.Academically Quislingproved talented in humanities, particularly history, and natural sciences; he specialised in mathematics. At this point, however, his life had no clear direction. In1905, Quisling enrolled at the Norwegian Military Academy, having received the highest entrance examination score of the 250 applicants that year. Transferringin 1906 to the Norwegian Military College, he graduated with the highest score since the college's inception in 1817, and was rewarded by an audience with theKing. On 1 November 1911, he joined the army General Staff. Norway was neutral in the First World War; Quisling detested the peace movement, though thehigh human cost of the war did temper his views. In March 1918, he was sent to Russia as an attaché at the Norwegian legation in Petrograd, to take advantageof the five years he had spent studying the country. Though dismayed at the living conditions he experienced, Quisling nonetheless concluded that \"theBolsheviks have got an extraordinarily strong hold on Russian society\" and marvelled at how Leon Trotsky had managed to mobilise the Red Army forces so well;he asserted that by contrast, in granting too many rights to the people of Russia, the Russian Provisional Government under Alexander Kerensky had broughtabout its own downfall. When the legation was recalled in December 1918, Quisling became the Norwegian military's expert on Russian affairs.TravelsParis,Eastern Europe, and NorwayIn September 1919, Quisling departed Norway to become an intelligence officer with the Norwegian delegation in Helsinki, a post thatcombined diplomacy and politics. In the autumn of 1921, Quisling left Norway once again, this time at the request of explorer and humanitarian Fridtjof Nansen,and in January 1922 arrived in the Ukrainian capital Kharkiv to help with the League of Nations humanitarian relief effort there. Highlighting the massivemismanagement of the area and the death toll of approximately ten thousand a day, Quisling produced a report that attracted aid and demonstrated hisadministrative skills, as well as his dogged determination to get what he wanted.Quisling replied [that] the Russian people needed wise leadership and propertraining [that they suffered from] indifference, a lack of clearly defined goals with conviction and a happy-go-lucky attitude [and that] it is impossible toaccomplish anything without willpower, determination and concentration.On 21 August 1922, he married the Russian Alexandra Andreevna Voronina. Alexandrawrote in her memoirs that Quisling declared his love for her, but from his letters home and investigations undertaken by his cousins, it appeared that there wasno romantic involvement between the two, Quisling merely seemed to have wanted to lift the girl out of poverty by providing her with a Norwegian passport andfinancial security.Having left Ukraine in September 1922, Quisling and Alexandra returned to Kharkiv in February 1923 to prolong aid efforts, with Nansendescribing Quisling's work as \"absolutely indispensable.\" In March 1923, Alexandra was pregnant, and Quisling insisted on her having an abortion, which greatlydistressed her. Quisling found the situation much improved and, with no fresh challenges, found it a more boring trip than his last. He did however meet MariaVasiljevna Pasetchnikova (Russian: Мари́я Васи́льевна Па́сечникова), a Ukrainian more than ten years his junior. Her diaries from the time \"indicate ablossoming love affair\" during the summer of 1923, despite Quisling's marriage to Alexandra the year before. She recalled that she was impressed by his fluentcommand of the Russian language, his Aryan appearance, and his gracious demeanour. Quisling later claimed to have married Pasetchnikova in Kharkiv on 10September 1923, although no legal documentation has been discovered. Quisling's biographer, Dahl, believes that in all likelihood the second marriage was neverofficial. Regardless, the couple behaved as though they were married, claimed Alexandra was their daughter, and celebrated their wedding anniversary. Soonafter September 1923, the aid mission came to an end and the trio left Ukraine, planning to spend a year in Paris. Maria wanted to see Western Europe; Quislingwanted to get some rest following bouts of stomach pain that had lasted all winter. The stay in Paris required a temporary discharge from the army, whichQuisling slowly grew to understand was permanent: army cutbacks meant that there would be no position available for him when he returned. Quisling devotedmuch of his time in the French capital to study, reading works of political theory and working on his philosophical project, which he called Universism. On 2October 1923, he persuaded the Oslo daily newspaper Tidens Tegn to publish an article he had written calling for diplomatic recognition of the Soviet government.Quisling's stay in Paris did not last as long as planned, and in late 1923 he started work on Nansen's new repatriation project in the Balkans, arriving in Sofia inNovember.The next two months he spent traveling constantly with his wife Maria. In January, Maria returned to Paris to look after Alexandra, who took on therole of the couple's foster-daughter; Quisling joined them in February. In the summer of 1924, the trio returned to Norway where Alexandra subsequently left tolive with an aunt in Nice and never returned. Although Quisling promised to provide for her well-being, his payments were irregular, and over the coming years hewould miss a number of opportunities to visit.Back in Norway, and to his later embarrassment, Quisling found himself drawn into the communist Norwegianlabour movement. Among other policies, he fruitlessly advocated a people's militia to protect the country against reactionary attacks, and asked members of themovement whether they would like to know what information the General Staff had on them, but he got no response. Although this brief attachment to thefar-left seems unlikely given Quisling's later political direction, Dahl suggests that, following a conservative childhood, he was by this time \"unemployed anddispirited ... deeply resentful of the General Staff ... [and] in the process of becoming politically more radical.\" Dahl adds that Quisling's political views at this timecould be summarised as \"a fusion of socialism and nationalism,\" with definite sympathies for the Soviets in Russia.Russia and the rouble scandalIn June 1925,Nansen once again provided Quisling with employment. The pair began a tour of Armenia, where they hoped to help repatriate Armenians, including those whosurvived the Armenian Genocide, via a number of projects proposed for funding by the League of Nations. Despite Quisling's substantial efforts, however, theprojects were all rejected. In May 1926, Quisling found another job with long-time friend and fellow Norwegian Frederik Prytz in Moscow, working as a liaisonbetween Prytz and the Soviet authorities who owned half of Prytz's firm Onega Wood. He stayed in the job until Prytz prepared to close down the business in early1927, when Quisling found new employment as a diplomat. British diplomatic affairs in Russia were being managed by Norway, and he became their new legationsecretary; Maria joined him late in 1928. A massive scandal broke when Quisling and Prytz were accused of using diplomatic channels to smuggle millions of"} +{"doc_id":"doc_248","qid":"","text":"Passage 1:Gülbahar Hatun (wife of Mehmed II)Emine Gülbahar Mükrime Hatun (Ottoman Turkish: \u0000\u0000 \u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000 \u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000 \u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000; \"benign\", \"spring rose\" and \" hospitable\"; died c. 1492), was consort of Sultan Mehmed II, and mother of Sultan Bayezid II.Early lifeThe Ottoman inscription (vakfiye) describes her as Hātun binti Abdullah (Daughter of Abdullah), which means that her father was possibly a convert to Islam. She was a Christian slave girl of either Greek, or Albanian, origin.MarriageGülbahar married Mehmed in 1446, when he was still a prince and the governor of Amasya. She had two children, a son, Şehzade Bayezid (future Bayezid II) born in 1447 in Demotika, and a daughter, Gevherhan Hatun, born in 1446, who married Ughurlu Muhammad, a son of Aq Qoyunlu Sultan Uzun Hasan in 1474.Due to their middle name in common, Gülbahar is sometimes confused with Sittişah Mukrime Hatun, another consort of MehmedIn 1451, after Mehmed's accession to the throne, she followed him to Edirne. According to Turkish tradition, all princes were expected to work as provincial governors as a part of their training. In 1455 or 1456, Bayezid was appointed the governor of Amasya, and Gülbahar accompanied him, where the two remained until 1481, except for in 1457, when she came to Constantinople, and attended her son's circumcision ceremony.Gülbahar was apparently quite concerned about the future of her son, and related to that, her own properties. In order to secure her properties, she endowed the incomes of certain villages and fields to the Enderun mosque in 1474. Among the endowed properties was the village of Ağılcık, which was turned back into a Timariot village in 1479 during the land reform.In 1468, Mehmed gave the village of Bağluca to Gülbahar. After six years, in 1473, she sold the village to Taceddin Bey, son of Hamza Bali (died 1486), the book keeper of Bayezid's court. In 1478, the village's exemption was abolished and granted back to her probably as a result of the land reform. This order was reissued a year later at the request of Mevlana Şemseddin Ahmed according to which the village was not reverted to her, and she had likely become subject to a legal dispute.Mother of the SultanPer custom, Gülbahar got the highest position in the imperial family after the sultan himself when her son, Bayezid ascended the throne in 1481 until her death in 1492. During her son's reign, she and the rest of the Imperial Family resided at the Old Palace (saray-ı atik) and were visited by the Sultan who on each visit used to pay his respect to his mother. In one case, Gülbahar complained of her son's rare visits and in a letter to her son wrote: \"My fortune, I miss you. Even if you don't miss me, I miss you ... Come and let me see you. My dear lord, if you are going on campaign soon, come once or twice at least so that I may see your fortune-favored face before you go. It's been forty days since I last saw you. My sultan, please forgive my boldness. Who else do I have beside you ... ?\"Gülbahar had a considerable influence over Bayezid, for she used to make evaluations about the situation of some statesmen. Bayezid also valued his mother's words. In a letter written to him, she advises him against Hersekzade Ahmed Pasha, but favours his tutor Ayas Pasha and Hizirbeyoğlu Mehmed Pasha.In 1485, Bayezid endowed a mosque, and a school in Tokat in the memory of Gülbahar Hatun.DeathGülbahar Hatun died in 1492, and was buried in Fatih Mosque, Istanbul. The tomb was damaged in the 1766 Istanbul earthquake, and was rebuilt in 1767–1768.IssueWith Mehmed II, Gülbahar Hatun had at least a daughter and a son:Gevherhan Hatun (c. 1446 - 1514).Bayezid II (1447 - 1512).In popular cultureIn the 2012 film Fetih 1453, Gülbahar Hatun is portrayed by Turkish actress Şahika Koldemir.In the 2013 Turkish series Fatih, Gülbahar Hatun is portrayed by Turkish actress Seda Akman.In the second season of Netflix's Rise of Empires: Ottoman (2020-2022), Gülbahar Hatun is portrayed by actress Yasemin Eti.See alsoOttoman EmpireOttoman dynastyList of consorts of the Ottoman SultansPassage 2:Hüma HatunHüma Hatun (Ottoman Turkish: \u0000\u0000\u0000 \u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000, \"bird of paradise/phoenix\" c. 1410 \u0000 September 1449) was a consort of Ottoman Sultan Murad II and mother of Mehmed II.LifeAlthough, some Turkish sources claim that she was of Turkish origin, Hüma Hatun was a slave girl of European origin. Nothing is known of her family background, apart from the fact that an Ottoman inscription (vakfiye) describes her as Hātun binti Abdullah (daughter of Abdullah); at that time, people who converted to Islam were given the name Abdullah meaning Servant of God, which is evidence of her non-Muslim origin. According to tradition, she was of Italian and/or Jewish origins and her original name was Stella or Ester. According to another theory, backed on the fact that Mehmed II was fluent in the Serbian language, it was that she came from those areas and was South Slavic, most likely Serbian. Finally, a third theory says she was Greek. Her name, hüma, means \"bird of paradise/phoenix\", after the Persian legend. Hüma Hatun entered in Murad II's harem around 1424. By him she had firstly two daughters, Hatice Hatun in 1425 and Fatma Hatun in 1430, and finally, on 30 March 1432, she gave birth to her only son, the future Sultan Mehmed the Conqueror. In 1438, Mehmed was circumcised along with his elder half-brother, Şehzade Alaeddin. When Mehmed was 11 years old, he was sent to Manisa as a prince governor. Hüma followed her son to Manisa. Her children's wet nurse was Hundi Hatun (d. 14 February 1486): usually styled Daye Hatun (lady governess), she became very wealthy and influential enough during the reign of Mehmed II, enough to fund several charitable foundations and commission prayers for her soul. In 1444, after the death of Mehmed's elder half-brother, Şehzade Alaeddin, who died in 1443, Mehmed was the only heir left to the throne. In that same year, Murad II abdicated the throne due to depression over the death of his son, Şehzade Alaeddin Ali Çelebi, and retreated to Manisa.Her son Şehzade Mehmed succeeded the throne as Mehmed II. She held the Vâlide Hatun position for two years. In 1446, Murad took over the throne again, and Hüma and her son returned to Bursa. However, Mehmed succeeded the throne in 1451, after the death of his father, but she never became a Valide Hatun as she died before the accession. She was not alive to see the conquest of Constantinople, which became the capital of Ottoman Empire for nearly five centuries, before the Empire was abolished in 1922 and Turkey was officially declared as a republic.DeathShe died in September 1449 in Bursa, two years before her son's second accession to the throne. Her tomb is located at the site known as \"Hatuniye Kümbedi\" (Hatuniye Tomb) to the east of Muradiye Complex, which was built by her son Mehmed. The quarter where her tomb lies has been known thus far as Hüma Hatun Quarter.IssueBy Murad II, Hüma Hatun had two daughters and a son:Hatice Hatun (1425 - after 1470). She married Candaroğlu İsmail Kemaleddin Bey and had three sons: Hasan Bey, Yahya Bey and Mahmud Bey. Her descendants were still alive during the reign of Abdulmejid I, in the 19th century.Fatma Hatun (1430 - after 1464). She married Zaganos Pasha and had two sons: Hamza Bey and Ahmed Çelebî, who would become an important adviser to his cousin Bayezid II.

She is the grandmother of Akhenaten, and great grandmother of Tutankhamun.BiographyThuya is believed to be a descendant of Queen Ahmose-Nefertari, and she held many official roles in the interwoven religion and government of ancient Egypt. She was involved in many religious cults; her titles included 'Singer of Hathor' and ' Chief of the Entertainers' of both Amun and Min. She also held the influential offices of Superintendent of the Harem of the god Min of Akhmin and of Amun of Thebes. She married Yuya, a powerful ancient Egyptian courtier of the Eighteenth Dynasty. She is believed to have died in around 1375 BC in her early to mid 50s.ChildrenYuya and Thuya had a daughter named Tiye, who became the Great Royal Wife of Pharaoh Amenhotep III. The great royal wife was the highest Egyptian religious position, serving alongside of the pharaoh in official ceremonies and rituals.Yuya and Thuya also had a son named Anen, who carried the titles Chancellor of Lower Egypt, Second Prophet of Amun, sm-priest of Heliopolis and Divine Father.They also may have been the parents of Ay, an Egyptian courtier active during the reign of pharaoh Akhenaten who became pharaoh after the death of Tutankhamun. However, there is no conclusive evidence regarding the kinship of Yuya and Ay, although certainly, both men came from Akhmim.TombThuya was interred in tomb KV46 in the Valley of the Kings, together with her husband Yuya, where their largely intact burial was found in 1905. It was the best-preserved tomb discovered in the Valley before that of Tutankhamun, Thuya's great-grandson. The tomb was discovered by a team of workmen led by archaeologist James Quibell on behalf of the American millionaire Theodore M. Davis. Though the tomb had been robbed in antiquity, much of its contents were still present, including beds, boxes, chests, a chariot, and the sarcophagi, coffins, and mummies of the two occupants.Thuya's large gilded and black-painted wooden sarcophagus was placed against the south wall of the tomb. It is rectangular, with a lid shaped like the sloping roof of the per-wer shrine of Upper Egypt, and sits on ornamental sledge runners, their non-functionality underscored by the three battens attached below them. Ancient robbers had partially dismantled it to access her coffins and mummy, placing its lid and one long side on a bed on the other side of the tomb; the other long side had been leaned against the south wall. Her outer gilded anthropoid coffin had been removed, its lid placed atop the beds, and the trough put into the far corner of the tomb; the lid of her second (innermost) coffin, also gilded, had been removed and placed to one side although the trough and her mummy remained inside the sarcophagus. Quibell suggests this is due to the robbers having some difficulty in removing the lid of this coffin.MummyThuya's mummified body was found covered with a large sheet of linen, knotted at the back and secured by four bandages. These bands were covered with resin and opposite each band were her gilded titles cut from gold foil. The resin coating on the lower layers of bandages preserved the impression of a large broad collar. The mummy bands that had once covered her wrapped mummy were recovered above the storage jars on the far side of the room.The first examination of her body was conducted by Australian anatomist Grafton Elliot Smith. He found her to be an elderly woman of small stature, 1.495 metres (4.90 ft) "} +{"doc_id":"doc_249","qid":"","text":"Passage 1:Mehdi AbrishamchiMehdi Abrishamchi (Persian: \u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000 \u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000 born in 1947 in Tehran) is a high-ranking member of the People's Mujahedinof Iran (MEK).Early lifeAbrishamchi came from a well-known anti-Shah bazaari family in Tehran, and participated in June 5, 1963, demonstrations in Iran.

Tworebellious lords kidnapped him in 1274 in an attempt to play him off against his brother, Ladislaus IV of Hungary, but the king's supporters liberated him. He wasstyled \"Duke of Slavonia and Croatia\" in a 1274 letter. Years after his death (in 1290 and in 1317), two adventurers claimed to be identical with Andrew, but bothfailed.FamilyAndrew was born in 1268. He was the second son (and youngest child) of Stephen V, the junior king of Hungary at the time of Andrew's birth. Thesenior king was Andrew's grandfather Béla IV. Andrew's mother was Stephen's wife, Elizabeth the Cuman.Andrew's father, Stephen, became the sole King ofHungary in 1270, but died two years later. Stephen was succeeded by his elder son (Andrew's ten-year-old brother) Ladislaus IV. In theory, Ladislaus's ruledunder the regency of his mother, Elizabeth, but in fact, competing parties of the most wealthy noble families, including the Csáks and Kőszegis, were fightingagainst each other for the control of government.Duke of SlavoniaHenry Kőszegi, the Ban of Slavonia, and his ally, Joachim Gutkeled, the Master of the treasury,who had earlier held Ladislaus IV in captivity, kidnapped the six-year-old Andrew in July 1274, taking him to Slavonia in an attempt to play him off against hisbrother. However, Kőszegi's and Gutkeled's rival, Peter Csák, and his allies annihilated their united troops in late September and liberated Andrew. In a letterdated to the end of 1274, Andrew is mentioned as \"Duke of Slavonia and Croatia\", but otherwise he was only referred to as \"Duke Andrew\". According to ascholarly theory, the former title was only used to emphasize that Andrew was the lawful heir to his 12-year-old elder brother at the time the letter, whichreferred to a planned marriage between Andrew and a relative of Rudolf I of Germany, was written. Andrew died at the age of ten between 6 April and 6November 1278.Two false AndrewsAndrew's childless brother, Ladislaus IV was murdered on 10 July 1290. His distant relative, Andrew III, succeeded him andwas crowned king on 23 July. However, an adventurer announced that he was identical with King Ladislaus's younger brother, claiming Hungary to himselfagainst Andrew III. Through showing his specific birthmark, the impostor even convinced Stephen V's sister – the late Duke Andrew's aunt – Kinga, wife ofBolesław V the Chaste, Duke of Cracow. The false Duke Andrew invaded Hungary from Poland, but King Andrew's commander, George Baksa routed his troop,forcing him to return to Poland before 18 November. The pretender was in short killed by his Hungarian retainers.In 1317, a new adventurer declared himselfDuke Andrew, on this occasion in Majorca. He and his imprisonment was mentioned in the correspondence between Sancho, King of Majorca, and Robert, King ofNaples who was the uncle of Charles I of Hungary. The second false Duke Andrew's further fate is unknown.Passage 6:Stephen V of HungaryStephen V(Hungarian: V. István, Croatian: Stjepan V., Slovak: Štefan V; before 18 October 1239 – 6 August 1272, Csepel Island) was King of Hungary and Croatia between1270 and 1272, and Duke of Styria from 1258 to 1260. He was the oldest son of King Béla IV and Maria Laskarina. King Béla had his son crowned king at the ageof six and appointed him Duke of Slavonia. Still a child, Stephen married Elizabeth, a daughter of a chieftain of the Cumans whom his father settled in the GreatHungarian Plain.King Béla appointed Stephen Duke of Transylvania in 1257 and Duke of Styria in 1258. The local noblemen in Styria, which had been annexedfour years before, opposed his rule. Assisted by King Ottokar II of Bohemia, they rebelled and expelled Stephen's troops from most parts of Styria. After OttokarII routed the united army of Stephen and his father in the Battle of Kressenbrunn on 12 July 1260, Stephen left Styria and returned to Transylvania.Stephenforced his father to cede all the lands of the Kingdom of Hungary to the east of the Danube to him and adopted the title of junior king in 1262. In two years, a civilwar broke out between father and son, because Stephen accused Béla of planning to disinherit him. They concluded a peace treaty in 1266, but confidence wasnever restored between them. Stephen succeeded his father, who died on 3 May 1270, without difficulties, but his sister Anna and his father's closest advisorsfled to the Kingdom of Bohemia. Ottokar II invaded Hungary in the spring of 1271, but Stephen routed him. In next summer, a rebellious lord captured andimprisoned Stephen's son, Ladislaus. Shortly thereafter, Stephen unexpectedly fell ill and died.Childhood (1239–1245)Stephen was the eighth child and first sonof King Béla IV of Hungary and his wife, Maria, a daughter of Theodore I Lascaris, Emperor of Nicaea. He was born in 1239. Archbishop Robert of Esztergombaptised him on 18 October. The child, heir apparent from birth, was named after Saint Stephen, the first King of Hungary.Béla and his family, including Stephen,fled to Zagreb after the Mongols had annihilated the royal army in the Battle of Mohi on 11 April 1241. The Mongols crossed the frozen Danube in February 1242and the royal family ran off as far as the well-fortified Dalmatian town of Trogir. The King and his family returned from Dalmatia after the Mongols unexpectedlywithdrew from Hungary in March.Junior kingDuke of Slavonia (1245–1257)A royal charter of 1246 mentions Stephen as \"King, and Duke of Slavonia\". Apparently,in the previous year, Béla had his son crowned as junior king and endowed with the lands between the river Dráva and the Adriatic Sea, according to historiansGyula Kristó and Ferenc Makk. The seven-year-old Stephen's provinces—Croatia, Dalmatia and Slavonia—were administered by royal governors, known asbans.In a letter addressed to Pope Innocent IV in the late 1240s, Béla IV wrote that \"[o]n behalf of Christendom we had our son marry a Cuman girl\". The bridewas Elizabeth, the daughter of a leader of the Cumans whom Béla had invited to settle in the plains along the river Tisza. Elizabeth had been baptized, but tenCuman chieftains present at the ceremony nevertheless took their customary oath upon a dog cut into two by a sword.Duke of Transylvania and Styria(1257–1260)When Stephen attained the age of majority in 1257, his father appointed him Duke of Transylvania. Stephen's rule in Transylvania was short-lived,because his father transferred him to Styria in 1258. Styria had been annexed in 1254, but the local lords rose up in rebellion and expelled Béla IV's governor,Stephen Gutkeled, before Stephen's appointment. Stephen and his father jointly invaded Styria and subdued the rebels. In addition to Styria, Stephen alsoreceived two neighboring counties—Vas and Zala—in Hungary from his father. He launched a plundering raid in Carinthia in the spring of 1259, in retaliation ofDuke Ulrich III of Carinthia's support of the Styrian rebels.Stephen's rule remained unpopular in Styria. With support from King Ottokar II of Bohemia, the locallords again rebelled. Stephen could preserve only Pettau (present-day Ptuj, Slovenia) and its region. On 25 June 1260, Stephen crossed the river Morava toinvade Ottokar's realm. His military force, which consisted of Székely, Romanian and Cuman troops, routed an Austrian army. However, in the decisive Battle ofKressenbrunn King Béla's and Stephen's united army was vanquished on 12 July, primarily because the main forces, which were under King Béla's command,arrived late. Stephen, who commanded the advance guard, barely escaped from the battlefield.

Bayezid; 3 December 1447 – 26 May 1512) was the sultan of the Ottoman Empire from 1481 to 1512. During his reign, Bayezid consolidated the Ottoman Empire, thwarted a Safavid rebellion and finally abdicated his throne to his son, Selim I. Bayezid evacuated Sephardi Jews from Spain after the proclamation of the Alhambra Decree and resettled them throughout Ottoman lands, especially in Salonica.Early lifeBayezid II was the son of Mehmed II (1432–1481) and Gülbahar Hatun, an Albanian concubine.There are sources that claim that Bayezid was the son of Sittişah Hatun, due to the two women's common middle name, Mükrime. This would make Ayşe Hatun, one of Bayezid's consorts, a first cousin of Bayezid II. However, the marriage of Sittişah Hatun took place two years after Bayezid was born and the whole arrangement was not to Mehmed's liking.Born in Demotika, Bayezid II was educated in Amasya and later served there as a bey for 27 years. In 1473, he fought in the Battle of Otlukbeli against the Aq Qoyunlu.Fight for the throneBayezid II's overriding concern was the quarrel with his brother Cem Sultan, who claimed the throne and sought military backing from the Mamluks in Egypt. Karamani Mehmed Pasha, latest grand vizier of Mehmed II, informed him of the death of the Sultan and invited Bayezid to ascend the throne. Having been defeated by his brother's armies, Cem sought protection from the Knights of St. John in Rhodes. Eventually, the Knights handed Cem over to Pope Innocent VIII (1484–1492). The Pope thought of using Cem as a tool to drive the Turks out of Europe, but as the papal crusade failed to come to fruition, Cem died in Naples.ReignBayezid II ascended the Ottoman throne in 1481. Like his father, Bayezid II was a patron of western and eastern culture. Unlike many other sultans, he worked hard to ensure a smooth running of domestic politics, which earned him the epithet of \"the Just\". Throughout his reign, Bayezid II engaged in numerous campaigns to conquer the Venetian possessions in Morea, accurately defining this region as the key to future Ottoman naval power in the Eastern Mediterranean. In 1497, he went to war with Poland and decisively defeated the 80,000 strong Polish army during the Moldavian campaign. The last of these wars ended in 1501 with Bayezid II in control of the whole Peloponnese. Rebellions in the east, such as that of the Qizilbash, plagued much of Bayezid II's reign and were often backed by the shah of Persia, Ismail I, who was eager to promote Shi'ism to undermine the authority of the Ottoman state. Ottoman authority in Anatolia was indeed seriously threatened during this period and at one point Bayezid II's vizier, Hadım Ali Pasha, was killed in battle against the Şahkulu rebellion. Hadım Ali Pasha's death prompted a power vacuum. As a result, many important statesmen secretly pledged allegiance to Kinsman Karabœcu Pasha (Turkish: \"Karaböcü Kuzen Paşa\") who made his reputation in conducting espionage operations during the Fall of Constantinople in his youth.Jewish and Muslim immigrationIn July 1492, the new state of Spain expelled its Jewish and Muslim populations as part of the Spanish Inquisition. Bayezid II sent out the Ottoman Navy under the command of admiral Kemal Reis to Spain in 1492 in order to evacuate them safely to Ottoman lands. He sent out proclamations throughout the empire that the refugees were to be welcomed. He granted the refugees the permission to settle in the Ottoman Empire and become Ottoman citizens. He ridiculed the conduct of Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile in expelling a class of people so useful to their subjects. \"You venture to call Ferdinand a wise ruler,\" he said to his courtiers, \"he who has impoverished his own country and enriched mine!\" Bayezid addressed a firman to all the governors of his European provinces, ordering them not only to refrain from repelling the Spanish refugees, but to give them a friendly and welcome reception. He threatened with death all those who treated the Jews harshly or refused them admission into the empire. Moses Capsali, who probably helped to arouse the sultan's friendship for the Jews, was most energetic in his assistance to the exiles. He made a tour of the communities and was instrumental in imposing a tax upon the rich, to ransom the Jewish victims of the persecution.The Muslims and Jews of al-Andalus contributed much to the rising power of the Ottoman Empire by introducing new ideas, methods and craftsmanship. The first printing press in Constantinople (now Istanbul) was established by the Sephardic Jews in 1493. It is reported that under Bayezid's reign, Jews enjoyed a period of cultural flourishing, with the presence of such scholars as the Talmudist and scientist Mordecai Comtino; astronomer and poet Solomon ben Elijah Sharbi\u0000 ha-Zahab; Shabbethai ben Malkiel Cohen, and the liturgical poet Menahem Tamar.SuccessionDuring Bayezid II's final years, on 14 September 1509, Constantinople was devastated by an earthquake, and a succession battle developed between his sons Selim and Ahmet. Ahmet unexpectedly captured Karaman, and began marching to Constantinople to exploit his triumph. Fearing for his safety, Selim staged a revolt in Thrace but was defeated by Bayezid and forced to flee back to the Crimean peninsula. Bayezid II developed fears that Ahmet might in turn kill him to gain the throne, so he refused to allow his son to enter Constantinople.Selim returned from Crimea and, with support from the Janissaries, he forced his father to abdicate the throne on 25 April 1512. Bayezid departed for retirement in his native Dimetoka, but he died on 26 May 1512 at Havsa, before reaching his destination and only a month after his abdication. He was buried next to the Bayezid Mosque in Istanbul.LegacyBayezid was praised in a ghazal of Abdürrezzak Bahşı, a scribe who came to Constantinople from Samarkand in the second half of the 15th century that worked at the courts of Mehmed II and Bayezid II, and wrote in Chagatai with the Old Uyghur alphabet:I had a pleasant time in your reign my Padishah.I was without fear of all fears and dangers.The fame of your justice and fairness reached to China and Hotan.Thanks to God that there exist a merciful person like my Padishah.Sultan Bayezid Khan ascended the throne.This country had been his fate since past eternity.Any enemy that denied the country of my master:That enemy's neck had been in rope and gallows.Your believing servants' faces smile like Bahşı's.The place of those who walk unbelieving is hellfire.Bayezid II ordered al-\u0000Atufi, the librarian of Topkapı Palace, to prepare a register. The library's diverse holdings reflect a cosmopolitanism that was encyclopaedic in scope.FamilyConsortsBayezid had ten known consorts, plus other unknown concubines, mothers of the other sons and daughters:Şirin HatunHüsnüşah HatunBülbül HatunNigar HatunGülruh HatunGülbahar HatunMuhtereme Ferahşad HatunAyşe Hatun. Daughter of Alâüddevle Bozkurt Bey of the Dulkadir dynasty, and niece of Sittişah Hatun, first legal wife of Mehmed II, father of Bayezid.

He took as consort his cousin Nergiszade Ferahşad Sultan (daughter of Şehzade Mustafa, son of Mehmed II), with whom he had a son who died in infancy (1481-1489) and two daughters, Aynişah Sultan (1482-? , married) and Şahnisa Sultan (1484- ?, who in turn married her cousin Şehzade Mehmed Şah, son of her father's half brother Şehzade Şehinşah).Şehzade Ahmed (Amasya, c. 1466 - Bursa, 24 March 1513) - son of Bülbül Hatun. Bayezid's favorite son, he was executed by his half-brother Selim I, who became sultan. He had three known concubines, seven sons and four daughters.Şehzade Korkut (Amasya, 1469 - Manisa, 10 March 1513) - son of Nigar Hatun.

He had three sons, Şehzade Musa (b.1490), Şehzade Orhan (b.1494) and Şehzade Emir Suleyman, executed by Selim I in 1512, and two daughters, Ayşe Hundi Sultan (1496 - after 1556, married in 1508 to Ferruh Bey; had a daughter Mihrihan Hanımsultan) and Hançerli Zeynep Fatma Sultan (1495 - April 1533, married to Mehmed Bey in 1508; had two children, Sultanzade Kasim Bey and Sultanzade Mahmud Bey. It is believed that she may have istruited the future Hürrem Sultan before she was introduced to Suleiman the Magnificent via Hafsa Sultan or Pargali Ibrahim.Şehzade Alemşah (Amasya, 1477 - Manisa, 1502) - son of Gülruh Hatun. Governor of Mentese and Manisa. He had a son, Şehzade Osman Şah (1492-1512, killed by Selim), and two daughters, Ayşe Sultan (married to his cousin Mehmed Celebi, son of Fatma Sultan, daughter of Bayezid II) and Fatma Sultan (1493-1522).Şehzade Mehmed (Amasya, 1486 - Kefe, December 1504) - son of Ferahşad Hatun.

His worksexplore the relationship between artistic expression, advertising, and celebrity culture that flourished by the 1960s, and span a variety of media, includingpainting, silkscreening, photography, film, and sculpture. Some of his best-known works include the silkscreen paintings Campbell's Soup Cans (1962) andMarilyn Diptych (1962), the experimental films Empire (1964) and Chelsea Girls (1966), and the multimedia events known as the Exploding Plastic Inevitable(1966–67).Born and raised in Pittsburgh, Warhol initially pursued a successful career as a commercial illustrator. After exhibiting his work in several galleries inthe late 1950s, he began to receive recognition as an influential and controversial artist. His New York studio, The Factory, became a well-known gathering placethat brought together distinguished intellectuals, drag queens, playwrights, Bohemian street people, Hollywood celebrities, and wealthy patrons. He promoted acollection of personalities known as Warhol superstars, and is credited with inspiring the widely used expression \"15 minutes of fame\". In the late 1960s hemanaged and produced the experimental rock band The Velvet Underground and founded Interview magazine. He authored numerous books, including ThePhilosophy of Andy Warhol and Popism: The Warhol Sixties. He lived openly as a gay man before the gay liberation movement. In June 1968, he was almost killedby radical feminist Valerie Solanas, who shot him inside his studio. After gallbladder surgery, Warhol died of cardiac arrhythmia in February 1987 at the age of 58in New York City.Warhol has been the subject of numerous retrospective exhibitions, books, and feature and documentary films. The Andy Warhol Museum in hisnative city of Pittsburgh, which holds an extensive permanent collection of art and archives, is the largest museum in the United States dedicated to a singleartist. Warhol has been described as the \"bellwether of the art market\". Many of his creations are very collectible and highly valuable. His works include some ofthe most expensive paintings ever sold. In 2013, a 1963 serigraph titled Silver Car Crash (Double Disaster) sold for $105 million. In 2022, Shot Sage Blue Marilyn(1964) sold for $195 million, which is the most expensive work of art sold at auction by an American artist.BiographyEarly life and beginnings (1928–1949)Warholwas born on August 6, 1928, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He was the fourth child of Ondrej Warhola (Americanized as Andrew Warhola Sr. 1889–1942) and Julia(née Zavacká, 1891–1972), whose first child was born in their homeland of Austria-Hungary and died before their move to the US.His parents were working-classLemko emigrants from Mikó, Austria-Hungary (now called Miková, located in today's northeastern Slovakia). Warhol's father emigrated to the United States in1914, and his mother joined him in 1921, after the death of Warhol's grandparents. Warhol's father worked in a coal mine. The family lived at 55 Beelen Streetand later at 3252 Dawson Street in the Oakland neighborhood of Pittsburgh. The family was Ruthenian Catholic and attended St. John Chrysostom ByzantineCatholic Church. Andy Warhol had two elder brothers—Pavol (Paul), the eldest, was born before the family emigrated; Ján was born in Pittsburgh. Pavol's son,James Warhola, became a successful children's book illustrator.In third grade, Warhol had Sydenham's chorea (also known as St. Vitus' Dance), the nervoussystem disease that causes involuntary movements of the extremities, which is believed to be a complication of scarlet fever which causes skin pigmentationblotchiness. At times when he was confined to bed, he drew, listened to the radio and collected pictures of movie stars around his bed. Warhol later described thisperiod as very important in the development of his personality, skill-set and preferences. When Warhol was 13, his father died in an accident.As a teenager,Warhol graduated from Schenley High School in 1945, and also won a Scholastic Art and Writing Award. After graduating from high school, his intentions were tostudy art education at the University of Pittsburgh in the hope of becoming an art teacher, but his plans changed and he enrolled in the Carnegie Institute ofTechnology, now Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, where he studied commercial art. During his time there, Warhol joined the campus Modern Dance Cluband Beaux Arts Society. He also served as art director of the student art magazine, Cano, illustrating a cover in 1948 and a full-page interior illustration in 1949.These are believed to be his first two published artworks. Warhol earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in pictorial design in 1949. Later that year, he moved to New YorkCity and began a career in magazine illustration and advertising.1950sWarhol's early career was dedicated to commercial and advertising art, where his firstcommission had been to draw shoes for Glamour magazine in the late 1940s. In the 1950s, Warhol worked as a designer for shoe manufacturer Israel Miller.While working in the shoe industry, Warhol developed his \"blotted line\" technique, applying ink to paper and then blotting the ink while still wet, which was akin toa printmaking process on the most rudimentary scale. His use of tracing paper and ink allowed him to repeat the basic image and also to create endless variationson the theme. American photographer John Coplans recalled that nobody drew shoes the way Andy did. He somehow gave each shoe a temperament of its own, asort of sly, Toulouse-Lautrec kind of sophistication, but the shape and the style came through accurately and the buckle was always in the right place. The kids inthe apartment [which Andy shared in New York – note by Coplans] noticed that the vamps on Andy's shoe drawings kept getting longer and longer but [Israel]Miller didn't mind. Miller loved them.In 1952, Warhol had his first solo show at the Hugo Gallery in New York, and although that show was not well received, by1956, he was included in his first group exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, New York. Warhol's \"whimsical\" ink drawings of shoe advertisements figured insome of his earliest showings at the Bodley Gallery in New York in 1957.Warhol habitually used the expedient of tracing photographs projected with an"} +{"doc_id":"doc_253","qid":"","text":"Passage 1:Kaoru HatoyamaKaoru Hatoyama (\u0000\u0000 \u0000, Hatoyama Kaoru, 21 November 1888 – 15 August 1982) was an educator and an administrator, the schoolmaster of Kyoritsu Women's University, which was founded by her mother-in-law, Haruko Hatoyama.

He was also a nephew of Nicholas II of Russia, the last emperor of Russia.Born and raised in Imperial Russia during the reign of his uncle Nicholas II, he followed a military career and entered the Corps of Pages during World War I. With the fall of the Russian monarchy, he escaped the fate of many of his relatives killed by the Bolsheviks fleeing to his parents estate in Crimea. For a time, he was under house arrest there with a large group of family members. They left Russia on 11 April 1919. In exile, he settled in France where he married Princess Irina Pavlovna Paley, his distant cousin. The couple divorced in 1936. Afflicted with tuberculosis, Prince Feodor moved to England with his mother spending the years of World War II there.

He was the second son and third child among seven siblings. Although a grandson of Emperor Alexander III through his mother, he was not entitled to the title Grand Duke of Russia because he was only a great-grandson of Emperor Nicholas I in the male line through his father. He spent his early years in Imperial Russia. Following family tradition, he began a military career. During World War I he entered the Corps of Pages.At the fall of the Russian monarchy, he looked for refuge with his family in his father's property in Crimea. They lived there undisturbed until the rise to power of the Bolsheviks with the October Revolution in 1917.

She married Qusai ibn Kilab and after her father died, the keys of the Kaaba were committed to her. Qusai, according to Hulail's will, had the trusteeship of the Kaaba after him.Hubbah never gave up ambitious hopes for the line of her favourite son Abd Manaf. Her two favourite grandsons were the twin sons Amr and Abd Shams, of ‘Ātikah bint Murrah.

He was a nephew of Tsar Nicholas II of Russia.Early lifePrince Dmitri Alexandrovich Romanov was born at the Gatchina Palace, near Saint Petersburg, Russia on 15 August 1901. He was the fourth son and fifth child among seven siblings. His parents, Grand Duke Alexander Mikhailovich (1866–1933) and Grand Duchess Xenia Alexandrovna (1875–1960), were first cousins once removed. Consequently, Prince Dmitri was the great-grandson of Tsar Nicholas I (from his father's side) while the great-great-grandson of the same Tsar Nicholas I (from his mother's side), the grandson of Tsar Alexander III and the nephew of Tsar Nicholas II.During the Russian Revolution Prince Dmitri was imprisoned along with his parents and grandmother the Dowager Empress at Dulber, in the Crimea. He escaped the fate of a number of his Romanov cousins who were murdered by the Bolsheviks when he was freed by German troops in 1918. He left Russia on 11 April 1919, at the age of seventeen, aboard the Royal Navy ship HMS Marlborough to attend to Malta where they spent nine months before settling to England.ExileIn exile, Prince Dmitri lived between England and France. He had a varied career. In the late 1920s he emigrated to the United States where he worked as a stockbroker in Manhattan. He returned to Europe in the early 1930s. For a brief period in the 1930s, he managed Coco Chanel's shop at Biarritz.It was through Chanel that he met a Russian aristocrat who worked as model for her fashion house: Countess Marina Sergeievna Golenistcheva-Koutouzova (20 November 1912 – 7 January 1969). She was the second daughter of Count Sergei Alexandrovich Golenishchev-Kutuzov (1885 – 1950) and his wife Countess Maria Alexandrovna, born "} +{"doc_id":"doc_254","qid":"","text":"Passage 1:Place of originIn Switzerland, the place of origin (German: Heimatort or Bürgerort, literally \"home place\" or \"citizen place\"; French: Lieu d'origine;Italian: Luogo di attinenza) denotes where a Swiss citizen has their municipal citizenship, usually inherited from previous generations. It is not to be confusedwith the place of birth or place of residence, although two or all three of these locations may be identical depending on the person's circumstances.Acquisition ofmunicipal citizenshipSwiss citizenship has three tiers. For a person applying to naturalise as a Swiss citizen, these tiers are as follows:Municipal citizenship,granted by the place of residence after fulfilling several preconditions, such as sufficient knowledge of the local language, integration into local society, and aminimum number of years lived in said municipality.Cantonal (state) citizenship, for which a Swiss municipal citizenship is required. This requires a certainnumber of years lived in said canton.Country citizenship, for which both of the above are required, also requires a certain number of years lived in Switzerland(except for people married to a Swiss citizen, who may obtain simplified naturalisation without having to reside in Switzerland), and involves a criminalbackground check.The last two kinds of citizenship are a mere formality, while municipal citizenship is the most significant step in becoming a Swiss citizen.Nowadays the place of residence determines the municipality where citizenship is acquired, for a new applicant, whereas previously there was a historical reasonfor preserving the municipal citizenship from earlier generations in the family line, namely to specify which municipality held the responsibility of providing socialwelfare. The law has now been changed, eliminating this form of allocating responsibility to a municipality other than that of the place of residence. Care needs tobe taken when translating the term in Swiss documents which list the historical \"Heimatort\" instead of the usual place of birth and place of residence.However,any Swiss citizen can apply for a second, a third or even more municipal citizenships for prestige reasons or to show their connection to the place they currentlylive – and thus have several places of origin. As the legal significance of the place of origin has waned (see below), Swiss citizens can often apply for municipalcitizenship for no more than 100 Swiss francs after having lived in the same municipality for one or two years. In the past, it was common to have to pay between2,000 and 4,000 Swiss francs as a citizenship fee, because of the financial obligations incumbent on the municipality to grant the citizenship.A child born to twoSwiss parents is automatically granted the citizenship of the parent whose last name they hold, so the child gets either the mother's or the father's place of origin.A child born to one Swiss parent and one foreign parent acquires the citizenship, and thus the place of origin, of the Swiss parent.International confusionAlmostuniquely in the world (with the exception of Japan, which lists one's Registered Domicile; and Sweden, which lists the mother's place of domicile as place of birth),the Swiss identity card, passport and driving licence do not show the holder's birthplace, but only their place of origin. The vast majority of countries show theholder's actual birthplace on identity documents. This can lead to administrative issues for Swiss citizens abroad when asked to demonstrate their actual place ofbirth, as no such information exists on any official Swiss identification documents. Only a minority of Swiss citizens have a place of origin identical to theirbirthplace. More confusion comes into play through the fact that people can have more than one place of origin.Significance and historyA citizen of a municipalitydoes not enjoy a larger set of rights than a non-citizen of the same municipality. To vote in communal, cantonal or national matters, only the current place ofresidence matters – or in the case of citizens abroad, the last Swiss place of residence.The law previously required that a citizen's place of origin continued to bearall their social welfare costs for two years after the citizen moved away. In 2012, the National Council voted by 151 to 9 votes to abolish this law. The place ofdomicile is now the sole payer of welfare costs.In 1923, 1937, 1959 and 1967, more cantons signed treaties that assured that the place of domicile had to paywelfare costs instead of the place of origin, reflecting the fact that fewer and fewer people lived in their place of origin (1860: 59%, in 1910: 34%).In 1681, theTagsatzung – the then Swiss parliament – decided that beggars should be deported to their place of origin, especially if they were insufficiently cared for by theirresidential community.In the 19th century, Swiss municipalities even offered free emigration to the United States if the Swiss citizen agreed to renouncemunicipal citizenship, and with that the right to receive welfare.See alsoAncestral home (Chinese)Bon-gwanRegistered domicile== Notes and references==Passage 2:Motherland (disambiguation)Motherland is the place of one's birth, the place of one's ancestors, or the place of origin of an ethnic group.Motherlandmay also refer to:Music\"Motherland\" (anthem), the national anthem of MauritiusNational Song (Montserrat), also called \"Motherland\"Motherland (NatalieMerchant album), 2001Motherland (Arsonists Get All the Girls album), 2011Motherland (Daedalus album), 2011\"Motherland\" (Crystal Kay song), 2004Film andtelevisionMotherland (1927 film), a 1927 British silent war filmMotherland (2010 film), a 2010 documentary filmMotherland (2015 film), a 2015 TurkishdramaMotherland (2022 film), a 2022 documentary film about the Second Nagorno-Karabakh WarMotherland (TV series), a 2016 British televisionseriesMotherland: Fort Salem, a 2020 American science fiction drama seriesOther usesMotherland Party (disambiguation), the name of several politicalgroupsPersonifications of Russia, including a list of monuments called MotherlandSee alsoAll pages with titles containing MotherlandMother Country(disambiguation)Passage 3:Beaulieu-sur-LoireBeaulieu-sur-Loire (French pronunciation: [boljø sy\u0000 lwa\u0000], literally Beaulieu on Loire) is a commune in the Loiretdepartment in north-central France.

This place is often used inlegal documents, together with name and date of birth, to uniquely identify a person. Practice regarding whether this place should be a country, a territory or acity/town/locality differs in different countries, but often city or territory is used for native-born citizen passports and countries for foreign-born ones.As a generalrule with respect to passports, if the place of birth is to be a country, it's determined to be the country that currently has sovereignty over the actual place ofbirth, regardless of when the birth actually occurred. The place of birth is not necessarily the place where the parents of the new baby live. If the baby is born in ahospital in another place, that place is the place of birth. In many countries, this also means that the government requires that the birth of the new baby isregistered in the place of birth.Some countries place less or no importance on the place of birth, instead using alternative geographical characteristics for the"} +{"doc_id":"doc_255","qid":"","text":"Passage 1:Olav AaraasOlav Aaraas (born 10 July 1950) is a Norwegian historian and museum director.He was born in Fredrikstad.

He received B.A. (1982), M.A. (1985) and PhD (1989) degrees from University College-Dublin, where he studied bothart history and history.He worked in the Irish Department of Education (1982), the European Commission, Brussels (1983), and in Ireland at the Chester BeattyLibrary (1983–85), Government Publications Office (1985–86), and Department of Finance (1986–89). He married Mary Fiona Carlin in 1988.He was AssistantDirector at the National Gallery of Ireland in Dublin from 1989 to 1997. He was Chair of the Irish Association of Art Historians from 1996 to 1997, and of theCouncil of Australian Art Museum Directors from 2001 to 2003. In September 1997 he became Director of the National Gallery of Australia.National Gallery ofAustralia (NGA)Kennedy expanded the traveling exhibitions and loans program throughout Australia, arranged for several major shows of Australian art abroad,increased the number of exhibitions at the museum itself and oversaw the development of an extensive multi-media site. Although he oversaw several years ofthe museum's highest ever annual visitation, he discontinued the emphasis of his predecessor, Betty Churcher, on showing \"blockbuster\" exhibitions.During hisdirectorship, the NGA gained government support for improving the building and significant private donations and corporate sponsorship. However, the initialdesign for the building proved controversial generating a public dispute with the original architect on moral rights grounds. As a result, the project was notdelivered during Dr Kennedy's tenure, with a significantly altered design completed some years later. Private funding supported two acquisitions of British art,including David Hockney's A Bigger Grand Canyon in 1999, and Lucian Freud's After Cézanne in 2001. Kennedy built on the established collections at the museumby acquiring the Holmgren-Spertus collection of Indonesian textiles; the Kenneth Tyler collection of editioned prints, screens, multiples and unique proofs; andthe Australian Print Workshop Archive. He was also notable for campaigning for the construction of a new \"front\" entrance to the Gallery, facing King EdwardTerrace, which was completed in 2010 (see reference to the building project above).Kennedy's cancellation of the \"Sensation exhibition\" (scheduled at the NGAfrom 2 June 2000 to 13 August 2000) was controversial, and seen by some as censorship. He claimed that the decision was due to the exhibition being \"too closeto the market\" implying that a national cultural institution cannot exhibit the private collection of a speculative art investor. However, there were other exhibitionsat the NGA during his tenure, which could have raised similar concerns. The exhibition featured the privately owned Young British Artists works belonging toCharles Saatchi and attracted large attendances in London and Brooklyn. Its most controversial work was Chris Ofili's The Holy Virgin Mary, a painting which usedelephant dung and was accused of being blasphemous. The then-mayor of New York, Rudolph Giuliani, campaigned against the exhibition, claiming it was\"Catholic-bashing\" and an \"aggressive, vicious, disgusting attack on religion.\" In November 1999, Kennedy cancelled the exhibition and stated that the events inNew York had \"obscured discussion of the artistic merit of the works of art\".

The film was part of a series in which the duo meet classic characters from Universal's stable, including Frankenstein, the Mummy and theKeystone Kops.PlotLou Francis and Bud Alexander have just graduated from a private detective school. Tommy Nelson, a middleweight boxer, comes to themwith their first case. Tommy recently escaped from jail after being accused of murdering his manager, and asks the duo to accompany him on a visit to hisfiancée, Helen Gray. He wants her uncle, Dr. Philip Gray, to inject him with a special serum which will render Tommy invisible, and hopes to use the newfoundinvisibility to investigate his manager's murder and prove his innocence. Dr. Gray adamantly refuses, arguing that the serum is still unstable, recalling that theformula's discoverer, Jack Griffin, was driven insane by the formula and did not become visible again until after he was killed. However, as the police arriveTommy injects himself with it and successfully becomes invisible. Detective Roberts questions Dr. Gray and Helen while Bud and Lou search for Tommy.Helen andTommy convince Bud and Lou to help them seek the real killer, after Tommy explains that the motive for the murder occurred after he refused to \"throw\" a fight,knocking his opponent, Rocky Hanlon, out cold. Morgan, the promoter who fixed the fight, ordered Tommy's manager beaten to death while framing Tommy forthe crime. In order to investigate undercover, Lou poses as a boxer, with Bud as his manager. They go to Stillwell's gym, where Lou gets in the ring with Rocky.Tommy, still invisible, gets into the ring with them and again knocks out Hanlon, making it look like Lou did it, and an official match is arranged. Needing to proveMorgan was behind the plot to frame Tommy, Bud and Lou go out to the same restaurant to covertly spy on him alongside an invisible Tommy. But the effects ofthe serum and Tommy getting drunk make the task difficult for the two who have to keep covering for him. Morgan pays off Lou to throw the fight, but when thematch occurs with the aid of an invisible Tommy, Hanlon is knocked out yet again after a wildly chaotic boxing match. Morgan plans Bud's murder, but is thwartedby Tommy. Bud, Lou, and Tommy fight off Morgan and his goons, but when Tommy is rendered partially visible from some steam he is wounded in the battle andbegins to bleed badly. The protagonists rush to the hospital where a blood transfusion is arranged between Lou and Tommy, thanks to Lou having the same bloodtype. During the transfusion Tommy becomes visible again – some of Tommy's blood has apparently entered Lou, who briefly turns invisible, only to reappearwith his legs inexplicably on backwards.CastProductionAbbott and Costello Meet the Invisible Man was filmed between October 3 and November 6, 1950.

It is the third film in Universal Pictures' The Invisible Man film series, following The Invisible Man and The Invisible Man Returns, which werereleased earlier in the year. It was more of a screwball comedy than a horror film like the others in the series. Universal released The Invisible Woman onDecember 27, 1940.The film stars Virginia Bruce, John Barrymore, John Howard, Charlie Ruggles, and Oscar Homolka, and features Margaret Hamilton, CharlesLane and Shemp Howard.PlotWealthy lawyer Richard Russell (John Howard) funds the dotty old inventor Professor Gibbs (John Barrymore) creation of aninvisibility device. The first test subject for this machine is Kitty Carroll (Virginia Bruce), a department store model who has been fired from her previous job. Themachine proves quite successful, and Kitty uses her invisible state to pay back her sadistic former boss, Mr. Growley (Charles Lane).While the Professor and theinvisible Kitty are off visiting Russell's lodge, gangster Blackie Cole (Oscar Homolka) sends in his gang of moronic thugs—including “Hammerhead’ (ShempHoward)—to steal the device. Once the machine is back at their hideout, they cannot get it to work. Kitty is now visible, and Blackie sends the gang to kidnapher and the Professor. Kitty learns that alcohol will restore her invisibility, and, with Russell's help, she exploits this to defeat the gang.Cut to the end of the film.Kitty has married Richard and become a mother. After an alcohol rub, their infant son begins to fade from view. “Hmmm,” the Professor says to the audience.“Hereditary!”CastCast is sourced from the book Universal Horrors:ProductionAfter the success of The Invisible Man Returns, Universal Pictures began work on afollowup and signed Curt Siodmak to develop the idea in 1940 with comedy writers Frederic I. Rinaldo and Robert Lees. Universal gave the film a $300,000budget. Margaret Sullivan had originally been slated for the role of the invisible woman because she owed Universal one more film in her contract. Director JohnCromwell approached Sullivan about playing the lead in So Ends Our Night, and she failed to report to Universal for The Invisible Woman. Sullivan received arestraining order preventing her from working elsewhere. Eventually, she was allowed to finish So Ends the Night, as long as she continued work on two films forUniversal. Virginia Bruce was cast as the invisible woman and signed her contract on September 12, 1940.John Barrymore began to have trouble memorizing hisdialogue. According to John Howard, Barrymore began cutting up the script and placing pieces on the set—behind vases, phones or other props—so he could readthe lines.Howard says that \"Barrymore was an ordinary fellow. He wasn't stuffy and he had no pretense whatsoever. Even in pictures that you felt weren't up tosnuff, I don't think he showed any disdain. We knew perfectly well The Invisible Woman wasn't going to be an award-winning picture, but it was fun to do. No onetook it seriously\".Maria Montez is among the cast, in her first film role.ReceptionThe film was nominated for the 14th Academy Awards for Special Effects. (At thetime, the category embraced photographic and sound effects.) The photographic effects were by John Fulton and the sound effects by John Hall. I Wanted Wingswon the Oscar for Special Effects. At the time of its release, this film was considered slightly risqué because much is made of the fact that the heroine, thoughinvisible, is naked during much of the action.On its release, The Invisible Woman grossed a total of just under $660,000. Universal followed it with Invisible Agenton July 31, 1942.Theodore Strauss of The New York Times called the film \"silly, banal and repetitious ... The script is as creaky as a two-wheeled cart and were itnot for the fact that John Barrymore is taking a ride in it we hate to think what The Invisible Woman might have turned out to be\".

In the first innings of his first match, against Lancashire at The Oval, he took fivewickets for 81 runs.In his first full season, 1948, he was Surrey's leading wicket-taker and in the last home game of the season he was awarded his county cap –he celebrated by taking eight Northamptonshire wickets for 46 runs at The Oval, six of them coming in the space of 6.3 overs for seven runs. This would remainthe best bowling performance of his first-class career, not surpassed, but he did equal it seven years later. In the following game, the last away match of theseason, he took 10 Hampshire wickets for 150 runs in the match at Bournemouth. In the 1948 season as a whole, he took 91 wickets at an average of 28.07. As atail-end left-handed batsman, he managed just 93 runs in the season at an average of 4.22.The emergence of Tony Lock as a slow left-arm bowler in 1949brought a stuttering end of McMahon's Surrey career. Though he played in 12 first-class matches in the 1949 season, McMahon took only 19 wickets; a similarnumber of matches in 1950 brought 34 wickets. In 1951, he played just seven times and in 1952 only three times. In 1953, Lock split the first finger of his lefthand, and played in only 11 of Surrey's County Championship matches; McMahon played as his deputy in 14 Championship matches, though a measure of theircomparative merits was that Lock's 11 games produced 67 wickets at 12.38 runs apiece, while McMahon's 14 games brought him 45 wickets at the, for him, lowaverage of 21.53. At the end of the 1953 season, McMahon was allowed to leave Surrey to join Somerset, then languishing at the foot of the CountyChampionship and recruiting widely from other counties and other countries.Somerset cricketerSomerset's slow bowling in 1954 was in the hands of leg-spinnerJohnny Lawrence, with support from the off-spin of Jim Hilton while promising off-spinner Brian Langford was on national service. McMahon filled a vacancy for aleft-arm orthodox spinner that had been there since the retirement of Horace Hazell at the end of the 1952 season; Hazell's apparent successor, Roy Smith, hadfailed to realise his promise as a bowler in 1953, though his batting had advanced significantly.McMahon instantly became a first-team regular and played inalmost every match during his four years with the county, not missing a single Championship game until he was controversially dropped from the side in August1957, after which he did not play in the Championship again.In the 1954 season, McMahon, alongside fellow newcomer Hilton, was something of adisappointment, according to Wisden: \"The new spin bowlers, McMahon and Hilton, did not attain to the best standards of their craft in a wet summer, yet, likethe rest of the attack, they would have fared better with reasonable support in the field and from their own batsmen,\" it said. McMahon took 85 wickets at anaverage of 27.47 (Hilton took only 42 at a higher average). His best match was against Essex at Weston-super-Mare where he took six for 96 in the first inningsand five for 45 in the second to finish with match figures of 11 for 141, which were the best of his career. He was awarded his county cap in the 1954 season, butSomerset remained at the bottom of the table.The figures for the 1955 were similar: McMahon this time took 75 wickets at 28.77 apiece. There was a smallimprovement in his batting and the arrival of Bryan Lobb elevated McMahon to No 10 in the batting order for most of the season, and he responded with 262 runsand an average of 9.03. This included his highest-ever score, 24, made in the match against Sussex at Frome. A week later in Somerset's next match, heequalled his best-ever bowling performance, taking eight Kent wickets for 46 runs in the first innings of a match at Yeovil through what Wisden called \"clevervariation of flight and spin\". These matches brought two victories for Somerset, but there were only two others in the 1955 season and the side finished at thebottom of the Championship for the fourth season running.At the end of the 1955 season, Lawrence retired and McMahon became Somerset's senior spin bowlerfor the 1956 season, with Langford returning from National Service as the main support. McMahon responded with his most successful season so far, taking 103wickets at an average of 25.57, the only season in his career in which he exceeded 100 wickets. The bowling average improved still further in 1957 to 23.10 whenMcMahon took 86 wickets. But his season came to an abrupt end in mid-August 1957 when, after 108 consecutive Championship matches, he was dropped fromthe first team during the Weston-super-Mare festival. Though he played some games for the second eleven later in August, he regained his place in the first teamfor only a single end-of-season friendly match, and he was told that his services were not required for the future, a decision, said Wisden, that \"proved highlycontroversial\".Sacked by SomersetThe reason behind McMahon's sacking did not become public knowledge for many years. In its obituary of him in 2002,McMahon was described by Wisden as \"a man who embraced the antipodean virtues of candour and conviviality\". It went on: \"Legend tells of a night at the FlyingHorse Inn in Nottingham when he beheaded the gladioli with an ornamental sword, crying: 'When Mac drinks, everybody drinks!'\" The obituary recounts a furtherescapade in second eleven match at Midsomer Norton where a curfew imposed on the team was circumvented by \"a POW-type loop\" organised by McMahon,\"with his team-mates escaping through a ground-storey window and then presenting themselves again\". As the only Somerset second eleven match thatMcMahon played in at Midsomer Norton was right at the end of the 1957 season, this may have been the final straw. But in any case there had been \"anembarrassing episode at Swansea's Grand Hotel\" earlier in the season, also involving Jim Hilton, who was also dismissed at the end of the season. Team-matesand club members petitioned for McMahon to be reinstated, but the county club was not to be moved.After a period in Lancashire League cricket with MilnrowCricket Club, McMahon moved back to London where he did office work, later contributing some articles to cricket magazines.== Notes and references==Passage 3:Isabella HarwoodIsabella Harwood or Ross Neil (14 June 1837 – 29 May 1888) was a British novelist who also wrote dramas inverse.BiographyHarwood was probably born in Dorset in 1837 where her parents Phillip Harwood and his wife Isabella Neil lived.

He was the son ofthe Reverend Edward Moore and Lady Harriet Janet Sarah Montagu-Scott, who was one of the daughters of the 4th Duke of Buccleuch. One of his brothers,Arthur, became an admiral and was knighted. Their great grandfather was John Moore, Archbishop of Canterbury from 1783 to 1805. One of their sisters was amaid of honour to Queen Victoria.Moore went to New Zealand in the 1870s and lived in Geraldine and Christchurch. He married Henrietta Lysaght of Hāwera inNovember 1879, and they had one son. In May 1884 she died a few days after giving birth to a daughter, who also died.In 1886 Moore became a Justice of thePeace in Geraldine. In 1897 he married Alice Fish of Geraldine. They moved to England four years before his death in 1916.Cricket careerMoore was aright-handed middle-order batsman. In consecutive seasons, 1876–77 and 1877–78, playing for Canterbury, he made the highest score in the short New Zealandfirst-class season: 76 and 75 respectively. His 76 came in his first match for Canterbury, against Otago. He went to the wicket early on the first day with the scoreat 7 for 2 and put on 99 for the third wicket with Charles Corfe before he was out with the score at 106 for 3 after a \"very fine exhibition of free hitting, combinedwith good defence\". Canterbury were all out for 133, but went on to win the match. His 75 came in the next season's match against Otago, when he took thescore from 22 for 2 to 136 for 6. The New Zealand cricket historian Tom Reese said, \"Right from the beginning he smote the bowling hip and thigh, going out ofhis ground to indulge in some forceful driving.\" Canterbury won again.Moore led the batting averages in the Canterbury Cricket Association in 1877–78 with 379runs at an average of 34.4. Also in 1877–78, he was a member of the Canterbury team that inflicted the only defeat on the touring Australians. In 1896–97, atthe age of 47, he top-scored in each innings for a South Canterbury XVIII against the touring Queensland cricket team.Passage 5:Ross McMillanPeter RossMcMillan (born 2 June 1987) is a professional rugby union player.

The film stars Margaret Sheridan, Kenneth Tobey, Robert Cornthwaite, and Douglas Spencer. James Arness plays The Thing: He is difficult to recognize in costume and makeup due to both low lighting and other effects used to obscure his features. The Thing from Another World is based on the 1938 novella \"Who Goes There?\" by John W. Campbell (writing under the pseudonym of Don A. Stuart).The film's storyline concerns a United States Air Force crew and scientists who find, frozen in the Arctic ice, a crashed flying saucer and a humanoid body nearby. Returning to their remote arctic research outpost with the body still in a block of ice, they are forced to defend themselves against the still alive and malevolent plant-based alien when it is accidentally thawed out.PlotIn Anchorage, journalist Ned Scott (Douglas Spencer), looking for a story, visits the officer's club of the Alaskan Air Command, where he meets Captain Pat Hendry (Kenneth Tobey), his co-pilot Lieutenant Eddie Dykes, (a friend of Scott's), and flight navigator Ken \"Mac\" MacPherson. General Fogarty orders Hendry to fly to Polar Expedition Six at the North Pole, per a request from its lead scientist, Nobel laureate Dr. Arthur Carrington (Robert Cornthwaite); Carrington has radioed that an unusual aircraft has crashed nearby. With Scott, Corporal Barnes, crew chief Bob, and a pack of sled dogs, Hendry pilots a Douglas C-47 Skytrain transport aircraft to the remote outpost.Upon arrival, Scott and the airmen meet radio operator Tex, Dr. Chapman, his wife Mrs. Chapman, a man named Lee, who is one of two cooks, and the Inuit dog handlers. Also present are scientists Vorhees, Stern, Redding, Stone, Laurence, Wilson, Ambrose, Auerbach, Olson, and Carrington. Hendry later rekindles his romance with Nikki Nicholson (Margaret Sheridan), Carrington's secretary. Several scientists fly with the airmen to the crash site, finding a large object buried beneath the ice. As they spread out to determine the object's shape, they realize that they are standing in a circle; they have discovered a flying saucer. The team attempts to melt the ice covering the saucer with thermite, but a violent reaction with the craft's metal alloy completely destroys it. Their Geiger counter, however, detects a frozen body buried nearby; it is excavated in a large block of ice and loaded aboard the C-47 transport. They fly out as an Arctic storm closes in on their site.Hendry assumes command of the outpost and, pending radio instructions from General Fogarty, denies Scott permission to send out his story; he also denies the scientists' demands to examine the body. Tex sends an update to Fogarty, and the airmen settle in as the storm arrives. A watch is posted; Barnes relieves McPherson and, disturbed by the creature's appearance in the clearing ice, covers it with an electric blanket, which he does not realize is plugged in. The block slowly thaws and the creature, still alive, escapes into the storm and is attacked by the sled dogs. The airmen recover the creature's severed arm after the attack.The scientists examine the arm, concluding that the alien is an advanced form of plant life. Carrington is convinced of its superiority to humans and becomes intent on communicating with it. The airmen begin a search, which leads to the outpost's greenhouse. Carrington stays behind with Vorhees, Stern, and Laurence, having noticed evidence of alien activity. They discover a third sled dog hidden away, which has had all of its blood drained; the carnivorous plant creature feeds on blood. Carrington and the scientists post a secret watch of their own, hoping to encounter the alien before the airmen find it.The next morning, the airmen continue their search. Tex informs them that Fogarty is aware of their discovery and demands further information, now prevented by the fierce storm. Stern appears, badly injured, and tells the group that the creature has killed Auerbach and Olson. When the airmen investigate, the alien attacks them; they manage to barricade it inside the greenhouse. Hendry confronts Carrington and orders him to remain in his lab and quarters.Carrington, obsessed with the alien, shows Nicholson and the other scientists his experiment: Using seeds taken from the severed arm, he has been growing small alien plants by feeding them from the blood plasma supply at the base. Hendry finds the plasma missing when it is needed to treat Stern, which leads him to Carrington. Fogarty transmits orders to keep the creature alive, but it escapes from the greenhouse and attacks the airmen in their quarters. They douse it with buckets of kerosene and set it aflame, forcing it to retreat into the storm. After regrouping, they realize that their building's temperature is falling rapidly; the furnaces have stopped working, sabotaged by the alien. They retreat to the station's generator room to keep warm, and rig an electrical \"fly trap\". The alien continues to stalk them, but at the last moment, Carrington attempts to communicate, pleading with the creature. It knocks him aside, walks into the trap, and is electrocuted. On Hendry's order, it is reduced to a pile of ash.When the weather clears, Scotty is finally able to file his \"story of a lifetime\" by radio to a roomful of reporters in Anchorage. He ends his broadcast with a warning: \"Tell the world. Tell this to everybody, wherever they are. Watch the skies everywhere. Keep looking. Keep watching the skies...\".CastProductionIn 1950, Lederer and Hecht convinced Hawks to buy the rights to \"Who Goes There?\". The cost ended up being $1,250.In an unusual practice for the era, no actors are named during the film's dramatic \"slow burning letters through background\" opening title sequence; the cast credits appear at the end of the film. Appearing in a small role was George Fenneman, who at the time was gaining fame as Groucho Marx's announcer on the popular quiz show You Bet Your Life. Fenneman later said he had difficulty with the overlapping dialogue in the film.The film was partly shot in Glacier National Park with interior sets built at a Los Angeles ice storage plant.The scene where the alien is set aflame and repeatedly doused with kerosene was one of the first full-body fire stunts ever filmed.The film took full advantage of the national feelings in America at the time in order to help enhance the horror elements of the film's storyline. The film reflected a post-Hiroshima skepticism about science and prevailing negative views of scientists who meddle with things better left alone. In the end it is American servicemen and several sensible scientists who win the day over the alien invader.ScreenplayThe film was loosely adapted by Charles Lederer, with uncredited rewrites from Howard Hawks and Ben Hecht, from the 1938 novella \"Who Goes There?\" by John W. Campbell. The story was first published in Astounding Science Fiction under Campbell's pseudonym, Don A. Stuart. (Campbell had just become Astounding's managing editor when his novella appeared in its pages.) Science fiction author A. E. van Vogt, who had been inspired to write from reading \"Who Goes There?\" and who had been a prolific contributor to Astounding, had wanted to write the script.The screenplay changes the fundamental nature of the alien. Lederer's \"Thing\" is a humanoid life form whose cellular structure is closer to vegetation, although it must feed on blood to survive; reporter Scott even refers to it in the film as a \"super carrot\". The internal, plant-like structure of the creature makes it impervious to bullets, but not to other destructive forces. Campbell's \"Thing\" is a life form capable of assuming the physical and mental characteristics of any living thing it encounters; this characteristic was later realized in John Carpenter's adaptation of the novella, the 1982 film The Thing.DirectorThere is debate as to whether the film was directed by Howard Hawks, with Christian Nyby receiving the credit so that Nyby could obtain his Director's Guild membership or whether Nyby directed it with considerable input from producer Hawks for Hawks' Winchester Pictures, which released the film through RKO Radio Pictures Inc. Hawks gave Nyby only $5,460 of RKO's $50,000 director's fee and kept the rest, but Hawks always denied that he directed the film.Cast members disagree on Hawks' and Nyby's contributions: Tobey said that \"Hawks directed it, all except one scene\" while, on the other hand, Fenneman said that \"Hawks would once in a while direct, if he had an idea, but it was Chris' show\". Cornthwaite said that \"Chris always deferred to Hawks ... Maybe because he did defer to him, people misinterpreted it\".One of the film's stars, William Self, later became President of 20th Century Fox Television. In describing the production, Self said, \"Chris was the director in our eyes, but Howard was the boss in our eyes\". Although Self has said that \"Hawks was directing the picture from the sidelines\", he also has said that \"Chris would stage each scene, how to play it. But then he would go over to Howard and ask him for advice, which the actors did not hear ... Even though I was there every day, I don't think any of us can answer the question. Only Chris and Howard can answer the question\".At a reunion of The Thing cast and crew members in 1982, Nyby said:Did Hawks direct it? That's one of the most inane and ridiculous questions I've ever heard, and people keep asking. That it was Hawks' style. Of course it was.

He authored two nonfiction books about his service with theMossad: By Way of Deception, a #1 New York Times bestseller in 1990, and The Other Side of Deception several years later.FamilyOstrovsky's mother, agymnastics teacher by trade, was born in Mandatory Palestine to Haim and Esther Margolin, (his grandparents) who fled Russia in 1912 and settled in Palestinewhere Haim served as Auditor General of the Jewish National Fund (JNF), and Esther volunteered to the British Army (ATS), as truck driver during World War II,and later joined the Haganah to fight for Israel's independence from the British mandate rule.Ostrovsky's father was a Canadian-born Jew who served with theRoyal Canadian Air Force during World War II as a tail gunner on a Lancaster bomber, taking part in more than 20 missions over Germany. His plane was shotdown over Germany, but he managed to escape and return to active service. After the war, he joined the Israeli military to fight in the 1948 Arab–Israeli War,rising to command Sde Dov, an Israeli Air Force base in Israel.Early lifeHe was born in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, on 28 November 1949, and he moved toIsrael at the age of five.CareerOstrovsky joined the Israeli Youth Brigade at 14 and quickly became an expert marksman, finishing second in a 1964 nationalshooting competition, with a score of 192 out of 200. At the age of 17, he joined the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) after a minor eye condition ended his hopes ofbecoming a pilot. He was assigned to the Military Police and rose to command the Nablus Military Police Base. Later, he was made commanding officer of theMilitary Police West Bank Central Command.After his service with the Military Police, he spent six years in the Israeli Navy. He was selected to attend the Staffand Command School and attained the rank of Lieutenant Commander. Ostrovsky was placed in charge of all Navy weapons testing. He helped introduce theHarpoon surface-to-surface missile to the Saar missile boats as well as the Vulcan Phalanx anti-missile defense system.According to court papers filed by theIsraeli government in an attempt to stop the publication of his book By Way of Deception, Ostrovsky was recruited by the Mossad in 1984 and trained as a katsa(case officer) at the Mossad's training school north of Tel Aviv.In 1986, he says that he left the agency saying it was because of what he considered cases ofunnecessarily-malicious actions by Mossad operatives. He also accused its directors of knowingly making less-than-accurate reports to the nation's politicalleadership. However, historian Benny Morris states that Ostrovsky's two years in the Mossad were mostly spent as a trainee, and he wouldn't have had access tomany operational secrets before he was fired.His wife, Bella Ostrovsky, died on January 8, 2015, at 65.He operated Ostrovsky Fine Art Gallery in Scottsdale,Arizona. While he has painted many subjects, he is best known for his Metaphors of Espionage collection, inspired by his days as a spy for the Mossad.By Way ofDeceptionIn 1990, he published By Way of Deception to draw attention to the corruption and shortcomings that he claims to have witnessed in the Mossad. Hehas repeatedly argued that intelligence-gathering agencies must be permitted certain operational freedoms but that significantly-increased governmentaloversight of espionage activities is necessary.Without effective oversight, he has said that the Mossad cannot achieve its full potential and value. According toOstrovsky, if a US senator on a military committee whose \"aide was Jewish, he or she would be approached as a sayan,\" which Ostrovsky later defines as \"avolunteer Jewish helper outside Israel\" who would then assist Mossad.

Driest wrote a radically different script for Fassbinder, who then \"took the linear narrative and jumbled it up\". White quotesSchidor as saying \"Fassbinder did something totally different, he took the words of Genet and tried to meditate on something other than the story. The storybecame totally unimportant for him. He also said publicly that the story was a sort of third-rate police story that wouldn't be worth making a movie about withoutputting a particular moral impact into it\".Schroeter had wanted to make a black and white film with amateur actors and location shots, but Fassbinder insteadshot it with professional actors in a lurid, expressionist color, and on sets in the studio. Edmund White comments that the result is a film in which, \"Everything isbathed in an artificial light and the architectural elements are all symbolic.\"SoundtrackJeanne Moreau – \"Each Man Kills the Things He Loves\" (music by PeerRaben, lyrics from Oscar Wilde's poem \"The Ballad of Reading Gaol\")\"Young and Joyful Bandit\" (Music by Peer Raben, lyrics by Jeanne Moreau)Both songs werenominated to the 1984 Razzie Awards for \"Worst Original Song\".ReleaseQuerelle sold more than 100,000 tickets in the first three weeks after its release in Paris,the first time that a film with a gay theme had achieved such success.

He was brought up at Rome, in the school of Pietro da Cortona, and was employed in several prominent public works during thepontificate of Alexander VII. He painted historical subjects. He died in 1686 at Rieti.In the Quirinal, he painted The Judgment of Solomon, and others of his worksare in Santa Maria Maggiore and in the Rotunda. Carlo Cesio was also an engraver of some eminence; we have by him several plates after the Italian painters ofhis time. His plates are etched and finished off with the graver, in a free, masterly style.Among his works as an engraver:The Virgin and Infant Jesus with St.John; half-length.St. Andrew led to Martyrdom, prostrating himself before the Cross; after Guido.The Frontispiece to the book entitled Discorsi dellaMusica.Sixteen plates from the Pamphili Gallery; after Pietro da Cortona.Forty-one plates (1657) of the Farnese Gallery; after Annibale Carracci.Eight plates of theBuongiovanni Chapel in the church of St. Augustine at Rome; after Lanfranco.A book of anatomical drawings, published posthumously in German: L'anatomia deipittori del signore Carlo CesioPassage 8:John McMahon (Surrey and Somerset cricketer)John William Joseph McMahon (28 December 1917 – 8 May 2001) was anAustralian-born first-class cricketer who played for Surrey and Somerset County Cricket Clubs in England from 1947 to 1957.Surrey cricketerMcMahon was anorthodox left-arm spin bowler with much variation in speed and flight who was spotted by Surrey playing in club cricket in North London and brought on to thecounty's staff for the 1947 season at the age of 29. In the first innings of his first match, against Lancashire at The Oval, he took five wickets for 81 runs.In hisfirst full season, 1948, he was Surrey's leading wicket-taker and in the last home game of the season he was awarded his county cap – he celebrated by takingeight Northamptonshire wickets for 46 runs at The Oval, six of them coming in the space of 6.3 overs for seven runs. This would remain the best bowlingperformance of his first-class career, not surpassed, but he did equal it seven years later. In the following game, the last away match of the season, he took 10Hampshire wickets for 150 runs in the match at Bournemouth. In the 1948 season as a whole, he took 91 wickets at an average of 28.07. As a tail-endleft-handed batsman, he managed just 93 runs in the season at an average of 4.22.The emergence of Tony Lock as a slow left-arm bowler in 1949 brought astuttering end of McMahon's Surrey career. Though he played in 12 first-class matches in the 1949 season, McMahon took only 19 wickets; a similar number ofmatches in 1950 brought 34 wickets. In 1951, he played just seven times and in 1952 only three times. In 1953, Lock split the first finger of his left hand, andplayed in only 11 of Surrey's County Championship matches; McMahon played as his deputy in 14 Championship matches, though a measure of their comparativemerits was that Lock's 11 games produced 67 wickets at 12.38 runs apiece, while McMahon's 14 games brought him 45 wickets at the, for him, low average of21.53. At the end of the 1953 season, McMahon was allowed to leave Surrey to join Somerset, then languishing at the foot of the County Championship andrecruiting widely from other counties and other countries.Somerset cricketerSomerset's slow bowling in 1954 was in the hands of leg-spinner Johnny Lawrence,with support from the off-spin of Jim Hilton while promising off-spinner Brian Langford was on national service. McMahon filled a vacancy for a left-arm orthodoxspinner that had been there since the retirement of Horace Hazell at the end of the 1952 season; Hazell's apparent successor, Roy Smith, had failed to realise hispromise as a bowler in 1953, though his batting had advanced significantly.McMahon instantly became a first-team regular and played in almost every matchduring his four years with the county, not missing a single Championship game until he was controversially dropped from the side in August 1957, after which hedid not play in the Championship again.In the 1954 season, McMahon, alongside fellow newcomer Hilton, was something of a disappointment, according toWisden: \"The new spin bowlers, McMahon and Hilton, did not attain to the best standards of their craft in a wet summer, yet, like the rest of the attack, theywould have fared better with reasonable support in the field and from their own batsmen,\" it said. McMahon took 85 wickets at an average of 27.47 (Hilton tookonly 42 at a higher average). His best match was against Essex at Weston-super-Mare where he took six for 96 in the first innings and five for 45 in the second tofinish with match figures of 11 for 141, which were the best of his career. He was awarded his county cap in the 1954 season, but Somerset remained at thebottom of the table.The figures for the 1955 were similar: McMahon this time took 75 wickets at 28.77 apiece. There was a small improvement in his batting andthe arrival of Bryan Lobb elevated McMahon to No 10 in the batting order for most of the season, and he responded with 262 runs and an average of 9.03. Thisincluded his highest-ever score, 24, made in the match against Sussex at Frome. A week later in Somerset's next match, he equalled his best-ever bowlingperformance, taking eight Kent wickets for 46 runs in the first innings of a match at Yeovil through what Wisden called \"clever variation of flight and spin\". Thesematches brought two victories for Somerset, but there were only two others in the 1955 season and the side finished at the bottom of the Championship for thefourth season running.At the end of the 1955 season, Lawrence retired and McMahon became Somerset's senior spin bowler for the 1956 season, with Langfordreturning from National Service as the main support. McMahon responded with his most successful season so far, taking 103 wickets at an average of 25.57, the"} +{"doc_id":"doc_263","qid":"","text":"Passage 1:Hartley LobbanHartley W Lobban (9 May 1926 – 15 October 2004) was a Jamaican-born first-class cricketer who played 17 matches for Worcestershirein the early 1950s.Life and careerLobban played little cricket in Jamaica.

He took five wickets in the match (his maiden victim being KenSuttle) and then held on for 4 not out with Peter Richardson (20 not out) to add the 12 runs needed for a one-wicket victory after his county had collapsed from192 for 2 to 238 for 9. A week later he claimed four wickets against Warwickshire, then a few days later still he managed 6 for 52 (five of his victims bowled) inwhat was otherwise a disastrous innings defeat to Derbyshire. In the last match of the season he took a career-best 6 for 51 against Glamorgan; he and RegPerks (4 for 59) bowled unchanged throughout the first innings.

Critic Leonard Maltin called him \"the greatest American director who is not a householdname.\" Roger Ebert called Hawks \"one of the greatest American directors of pure movies, and a hero of auteur critics because he found his own laconic values inso many different kinds of genre material.\" He was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Director for Sergeant York (1941) and earned the HonoraryAcademy Award in 1974.A versatile film director, Hawks explored many genres such as comedies, dramas, gangster films, science fiction, film noir, war films, andwesterns. His most popular films include Scarface (1932), Bringing Up Baby (1938), Only Angels Have Wings (1939), His Girl Friday (1940), To Have and HaveNot (1944), The Big Sleep (1946), Red River (1948), The Thing from Another World (1951), Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953), and Rio Bravo (1959). Hisfrequent portrayals of strong, tough-talking female characters came to define the \"Hawksian woman\".Early life and backgroundHoward Winchester Hawks wasborn in Goshen, Indiana. He was the first-born child of Frank Winchester Hawks (1865–1950), a wealthy paper manufacturer, and his wife, Helen Brown (néeHoward; 1872–1952), the daughter of a wealthy industrialist. Hawks's family on his father's side were American pioneers, and his ancestor John Hawks hademigrated from England to Massachusetts in 1630. The family eventually settled in Goshen and by the 1890s was one of the wealthiest families in the Midwest,due mostly to the highly profitable Goshen Milling Company.Hawks's maternal grandfather, C. W. Howard (1845–1916), had homesteaded in Neenah, Wisconsin,in 1862 at age 17. Within 15 years he had made his fortune in the town's paper mill and other industrial endeavors. Frank Hawks and Helen Howard met in theearly 1890s and married in 1895. Howard Hawks was the eldest of five children, and his birth was followed by Kenneth Neil Hawks (August 12, 1898 – January 2,1930), William Bellinger Hawks (January 29, 1901 – January 10, 1969), Grace Louise Hawks (October 17, 1903 – December 23, 1927), and Helen Bernice Hawks(1906 – May 4, 1911). In 1898, the family moved back to Neenah where Frank Hawks began working for his father-in-law's Howard Paper Company.Between1906 and 1909, the Hawks family began to spend more time in Pasadena, California, during the cold Wisconsin winters in order to improve Helen Hawks's illhealth. Gradually, they began to spend only their summers in Wisconsin before permanently moving to Pasadena in 1910. The family settled in a house down thestreet from Throop Polytechnic Institute, and the Hawks children began attending the school's Polytechnic Elementary School in 1907. Hawks was an averagestudent and did not excel in sports, but by 1910 had discovered coaster racing, an early form of soapbox racing. In 1911, Hawks's youngest sibling, Helen, diedsuddenly of food poisoning. From 1910 to 1912, Hawks attended Pasadena High School. In 1912, the Hawks family moved to nearby Glendora, California, whereFrank Hawks owned orange groves. Hawks finished his junior year of high school at Citrus Union High School in Glendora. During this time he worked as abarnstorming pilot.He was sent to Phillips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire from 1913 to 1914; his family's wealth may have influenced his acceptance to theelite private school. Even though he was 17, he was admitted as a lower middleclassman, the equivalent of a sophomore. While in New England, Hawks oftenattended the theaters in nearby Boston. In 1914, Hawks returned to Glendora and graduated from Pasadena High School that year. Skilled in tennis, by 18 yearsold, Hawks won the United States Junior Tennis Championship. That same year, Hawks was accepted to Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, where he majoredin mechanical engineering and was a member of Delta Kappa Epsilon. His college friend Ray S. Ashbury remembered Hawks spending more of his time playingcraps and drinking alcohol than studying, although Hawks was also known to be a voracious reader of popular American and English novels in college.Whileworking in the film industry during his 1916 summer vacation, Hawks made an unsuccessful attempt to transfer to Stanford University. He returned to Cornellthat September, leaving in April 1917 to join the Army when the United States entered World War I. He served as a lieutenant in the Aviation Section, U.S. SignalCorps. During World War I, he taught aviators to fly, and he used these experiences as influence for future aviation films such as The Dawn Patrol (1930). Likemany college students who joined the armed services during the war, he received a degree in absentia in 1918. Before Hawks was called for active duty, hereturned to Hollywood and, by the end of April 1917, was working on a Cecil B. DeMille film.CareerEntering films (1916–1925)Howard Hawks's interest andpassion for aviation led him to many important experiences and acquaintances. In 1916, Hawks met Victor Fleming, a Hollywood cinematographer who had beenan auto mechanic and early aviator. Hawks had begun racing and working on a Mercer race car—bought for him by his grandfather C.W. Howard—during his 1916summer vacation in California. He allegedly met Fleming when the two men raced on a dirt track and caused an accident. This meeting led to Hawks's first job inthe film industry, as a prop boy on the Douglas Fairbanks film In Again, Out Again (on which Fleming was employed as the cinematographer) for FamousPlayers–Lasky. According to Hawks, a new set needed to be built quickly when the studio's set designer was unavailable, so Hawks volunteered to do the jobhimself, much to Fairbanks's satisfaction. He was next employed as a prop boy and general assistant on an unspecified film directed by Cecil B. DeMille. (Hawksnever named the film in later interviews, and DeMille made roughly five films in that time period). By the end of April 1917, Hawks was working on Cecil B.DeMille's The Little American. Hawks then worked on the Mary Pickford film The Little Princess, directed by Marshall Neilan.

Venkatesan. The film features Sen's daughter Konkona Sen Sharma as Meenakshi Iyer, a Tamil Iyer Brahmin who is a Hindu. Rahul Bose portrays the character of Raja Chowdhury, a Bengali Muslim wildlife photographer. The story revolves around these two lead characters during a fateful bus journey amidst the carnages of a communal strife in India. Zakir Hussain, an Indian tabla maestro, composed the background score and music for the film; Goutam Ghose, a film director himself, was the cinematographer.Mr. and Mrs. Iyer premiered at the Locarno International Film Festival in Switzerland and was showcased at other prominent film festivals. The film opened to Indian audiences on 19 July 2002. It was met with critical acclaim upon release, and won several national and international awards, including the Golden Maile award at the Hawaii International Film Festival and the Nargis Dutt Award for Best Feature Film on National Integration in India. The film, which was also released as a DVD, had English as its predominant language with a sporadic use of Hindi, Tamil, and Bengali.PlotMeenakshi Iyer and her infant son, Santhanam, embark on a bus journey to return home, after visiting her parents. At the bus station, Meenakshi is introduced to Raja Chowdhury by a common friend. Raja, a wildlife photographer, is requested by Meenakshi's parents to look after their daughter and grandson during the journey. The passengers of the bus include a boisterous group of youngsters, two Sikh men, an elderly Muslim couple, a young couple high on romance, a mentally challenged boy and his mother, and some card-playing men. The bus faces a roadblock and the bus driver attempts a detour, but is stopped by traffic jam caused by sectarian violence between Hindus and Muslims in nearby areas.Raja reveals his Muslim identity to Meenakshi. As someone who comes from a high caste and conservative Hindu Brahmin family, Meenakshi shudders at the very fact that during their travel she drank water offered by Raja, a Muslim. She is shocked and asks Raja to not touch her. Raja contemplates leaving the bus, but is forced to stay inside by the patrolling police, who declare a curfew due to the riot. After the police leaves to scout other areas, a rioting Hindu mob arrives and forcibly enters the bus. They begin interrogating passengers about their religious identities and when in doubt, they even resort to check if the person is circumcised.In order to protect himself from them, one of the passengers, who is Jewish and hence circumcised, points to the old Muslim couple to divert the mob's attention. The mob's leader drags the old couple out of the bus. One of the teenagers resists this, but she is assaulted by the mob. As Raja attempts to rise in revolt, Meenakshi plants Santhanam on his lap, ordering him to hold the baby with an intent to shield Raja's Muslim identity. The mob asks about their identities, and Meenaksi tells the leader that she is Mrs. Iyer and Raja is her husband. After this chilling encounter, the passengers spend the night in the bus.In the morning, the passengers trek to a nearby village to seek accommodation. Raja and Meenakshi, identifying themselves as Mr. and Mrs. Iyer, fail to find any accommodation. However, the police officer, who was patrolling the earlier evening, bails them out by providing shelter at an abandoned forest bungalow. They are provided with the single usable bedroom available in the bungalow. Meenakshi refuses to share the room with Raja, and curses herself for coming along with a stranger.

Mr. and Mrs. Iyer was her second film in English. She hoped to write a simple romantic story, but it shaped out to be a relationship drama in the backdrop of sectarian violence. Sen came up with the background of the story in the aftermath of 9/11 and the 2002 Gujarat riots. In an interview, Sen stated that the omnipresent, circumstantial violence in the film was only to serve as a strain in the script which aimed to show how the relationship evolves between two people who are forced to be together under trying times. She stated that the time frame of the film was set after the attacks on the Parliament of India on 13 December 2001.In an interview at the screening at the Locarno Film Festival, Sen revealed that Konkona was involved in the pre-production research, and she suggested the title. About the cinematographer Gautam Ghose, Aparna Sen said that they had a good rapport and that Ghose, himself an acclaimed director, was one of the best cinematographers she knew. Ghose, in reply, said that he hoped to give his best for the film and thus contribute to their friendship.CastingRahul Bose's work in English, August (1994) and Split Wide Open (1999) made Aparna Sen feel that he was a good, controlled and intelligent actor.

She told in an interview that Konkona Sen Sharma's abilities as a sensitive actress fetched her the role of Meenakshi Iyer. Konkona said that she chose this film as she was interested in Indian films made in English, and was reluctant to do regular commercial films.

He was the elder son of Constance of Antioch and her first husband, Raymond of Poitiers. Bohemond ascended to the throne after the Antiochene noblemen dethroned his mother with the assistance of the lord of Armenian Cilicia, Thoros II. He fell into captivity in the Battle of Harim in 1164, but the victorious Nur ad-Din, atabeg of Aleppo released him to avoid coming into conflict with the Byzantine Empire. Bohemond went to Constantinople to pay homage to Manuel I Komnenos, who persuaded him to install a Greek Orthodox patriarch in Antioch. The Latin patriarch of Antioch, Aimery of Limoges, placed Antioch under interdict. Bohemond restored Aimery only after the Greek patriarch died during an earthquake in 1170.Bohemond remained a close ally of the Byzantine Empire. He fought against the new lord of Armenian Cilicia, Mleh, assisting in the restoration of Byzantine rule in the Cilician plain. He also made alliances with the Muslim rulers of Aleppo and Damascus against Saladin, who had begun to unite the Muslim countries along the borders of the crusader states. Since Bohemond repudiated his second wife and married an Antiochene lady, Patriarch Aimery excommunicated him in 1180.Bohemond forced the Armenian rulers of Cilicia to accept his suzerainty in the late 1180s. He also secured the County of Tripoli for his second son, Bohemond, in 1187. However, Saladin occupied almost the whole Principality of Antioch in the summer of 1188. To preserve the peace with Saladin, Bohemond did not provide military assistance to the crusaders during the Third Crusade. The expansionist policy of King Leo I of Armenia in the 1190s gave rise to a lasting conflict between Antioch and Cilicia. Bohemond was captured in 1194 by Leo, who tried to seize Antioch, but the burghers formed the Commune of Antioch and expelled the Armenian soldiers from the town. Bohemond was released only after he acknowledged Leo's independence.New conflicts emerged after Bohemond's eldest son, Raymond, died in 1197. Raymond's widow, who was Leo's niece, gave birth to a posthumous son, Raymond-Roupen, but Bohemond's younger son, Bohemond of Tripoli, wanted to secure his succession in Antioch with the assistance of the commune. The elderly Bohemond seems to have supported his son during his last years. The War of the Antiochene Succession began with Bohemond's death and lasted until 1219.Early lifeBohemond was the elder son of Princess Constance of Antioch and her first husband, Raymond of Poitiers. He was born around 1148. Prince Raymond died fighting against Nur ad-Din, atabeg of Aleppo, in the Battle of Inab on 29 June 1149.Neither Baldwin III of Jerusalem nor the Byzantine Emperor Manuel I Komnenos could persuade the widowed Constance to take a new husband. Finally, she chose Raynald of Châtillon, a French knight who had recently settled in Syria. Raynald ruled the principality as Constance's husband from 1153 until he was captured by Majd al-Din, governor of Aleppo, in late November 1160 or 1161.Urged by the Antiochene noblemen, Baldwin III proclaimed Bohemond the rightful ruler, charging Aimery of Limoges, Latin Patriarch of Antioch, with the administration of the principality during Bohemond's minority. However, Constance appealed to Manuel Komnenos, who confirmed her position as the sole ruler of Antioch. Constance wanted to retain power even after Bohemond reached the age of majority. However, the Antiochene noblemen rebelled against her with the assistance of Thoros II, Lord of Armenian Cilicia, forcing her to leave Antioch in February 1163.Prince of AntiochFirst yearsBohemond was installed as prince after his mother was dethroned. Nur ad-Din laid siege to Krak des Chevaliers in the County of Tripoli in September 1163. Raymond III of Tripoli appealed to Bohemond for assistance. Bohemond and Constantine Kalamanos, Byzantine governor of Cilicia, hurried to the castle. The united Christian armies defeated the besiegers in the Battle of al-Buqaia.Amalric of Jerusalem entrusted the government of the Kingdom of Jerusalem to Bohemond before departing for his campaign against Egypt in July 1164. Taking advantage of Bohemond's absence, Nur ad-Din attacked the fortress at Harenc in the Principality of Antioch (present-day Harem, Syria). Bohemond, Raymond III of Tripoli, Thoros II of Armenian Cilicia, and Constantine Kalamanos joined their forces and marched to Harenc, compelling Nur ad-Din to retreat.Reynald of Saint-Valery, Lord of Harenc, tried to convince Bohemond not to pursue the enemy, but Bohemond did not follow his advice. The armies clashed at the battle of Harim on 10 August 1164. Nur ad-Din almost annihilated the Christian army. Most Christian commanders (including Bohemond) were captured. Two days later, Harenc fell to Nur ad-Din. Nur ad-Din took his prisoners to Aleppo. His advisors urged Nur ad-Din to proceed to Antioch, but he declined, fearing that an attack on Antioch could provoke Emperor Manuel into annexing the principality. Amalric of Jerusalem hurried to Antioch to start negotiations with Nur ad-Din. Before long, Nur ad-Din released Bohemond, along with Thoros II of Cilicia, for a ransom because he regarded them as vassals of the Byzantine emperor.The Muslims advised [Nur ad-Din] to proceed to Antioch and seize it because it was devoid of defenders and fighting men to hold it, but he did not do so. He said, \"The city is an easy matter but the citadel is strong. Perhaps they will surrender it to the Byzantine emperor because its ruler is his nephew. To have Bohemond as a neighbor I find preferable to being a neighbour of the ruler of the Constantinople.\" He sent out squadrons in those areas and they plundered, seized and killed the inhabitants. Later he ransomed Prince Bohemond for a large sum of money and the release of many Muslim captives.Byzantine allianceSoon after his release, Bohemond visited Emperor Manuel in Constantinople and paid homage to him. In return for monetary aid, Bohemond agreed to allow Athanasius, the Eastern Orthodox Patriarch of Antioch, to accompany him back to Antioch. The Latin Patriarch, Aimery, left Antioch and imposed an interdict on the city. Manuel's cousin, Andronicus Komnenus, who was made Byzantine governor of Cilicia in 1166, often visited Antioch to meet Bohemond's beautiful young sister, Philippa. Bohemond appealed to Manuel, who dismissed Andronicus, replacing him with Constantine Kalamanos.Bohemond granted Apamea to the Knights Hospitaller in 1168. An earthquake destroyed most towns of northern Syria on 29 June 1170. The Greek Patriarch, Athanasius, died when the edifice of the Cathedral of St. Peter collapsed on him during the Mass. Bohemond went to Qosair (present-day Altınözü, Turkey) and persuaded the exiled Latin Patriarch to return to his see.Mleh, who had seized Cilicia with Nur ad-Din's help, besieged Bagras, the fortress of the Knights Templars near Antioch, in early 1170. Bohemond sought assistance from Amalric of Jerusalem, and their united army defeated Mleh, also forcing him to restore the towns of the Cilician plains to the Byzantine Empire. Bohemond's relationship with Armenian Cilicia remained tense, which prevented him from pursuing an active foreign policy until Mleh was dethroned in 1175.Bohemond concluded an alliance with Gumushtekin, atabeg of Aleppo, against Saladin, the Ayyubid ruler of Egypt and Syria, in May 1176. On Bohemond's demand, Gumushtekin released his Christian prisoners, including Bohemond's stepfather, Raynald of Châtillon. To strengthen his alliance with the Byzantine Empire, in 1177 Bohemond married Theodora, who was closely related to Emperor Manuel.Bohemond met Philip, Count of Flanders, who had come to the Kingdom of Jerusalem in September 1177. According to the contemporaneous William of Tyre, many crusaders blamed Bohemond and Raymond III of Tripoli for dissuading Philip from participating in a military campaign against Egypt, preferring instead to take advantage of Philip's presence in their own realms. Indeed, in December Philip and Bohemond jointly laid siege to Harenc, a fortress of As-Salih Ismail al-Malik, Emir of Damascus, seizing the opportunity following a mutiny of the garrison. They lifted the siege soon after As-Salih informed them that Saladin (the common enemy of both As-Salih and Bohemond) had left Egypt for Syria. As-Salih paid 50,000 dinars and renounced half of the nearby villages in favor of Bohemond.Bohemond and Raymond III of Tripoli marched to the Kingdom of Jerusalem in early 1180, according to William of Tyre. Baldwin IV of Jerusalem feared that the two princes (who were his father's cousins) had come to dethrone him, the symptoms of his leprosy having become \"more and more evident\" by that time. Historian Bernard Hamilton, who accepts William of Tyre's narration, says that Bohemond and Raymond came to Jerusalem to choose a husband for Baldwin's sister and heir, Sibylla, wishing to decrease the influence of the king's maternal relatives. However, Baldwin gave her in marriage to Guy of Lusignan, who was supported by their mother, Agnes of Courtenay. Sibylla's marriage contributed to the formation of two parties of noblemen. Bohemond, Raymond III of Tripoli, and the Ibelin brothers became the leaders of the group that opposed Guy of Lusignan.ConflictsManuel I Komnenos died on 24 September 1180. Bohemond soon repudiated his wife, Theodora, to marry an Antiochene lady of bad reputation, Sibylla. Ali ibn al-Athir described her as a spy who was \"in correspondence with Saladin and exchanged gifts with him\". Patriarch Aimery accused Bohemond of adultery and excommunicated him. After Bohemond confiscated church property, Aimery imposed an interdict on Antioch and fled to his fortress at Qosair. Bohemond besieged the fortress, but Rainald II Masoir, Lord of Margat, and other noblemen who supported the patriarch rose up against him.Baldwin IV sent Heraclius, Patriarch of Jerusalem, along with other bishops, and Raynald of Châtillon to Antioch to mediate. After preparatory negotiations with the envoys in Latakia, Bohemond and Aimery met in Antioch. Bohemond agreed to restore confiscated church property and Aimery lifted the interdict, but Bohemond's excommunication remained in force because he refused to return to Theodora. Peace was not fully restored, and the leaders of the opposition fled to Armenian Cilicia.Bohemond made peace with Imad ad-Din Zengi II, the Zengid ruler of Aleppo, in May 1182. However, Imad ad-Din was forced to surrender Aleppo to Saladin on 11 June 1183. Fearing an attack on Antioch, Bohemond sold Tarsus to Roupen III, Lord of Armenian Cilicia, to raise funds. Baldwin IV of Jerusalem promised to send 300 knights to Antioch. Saladin did not invade the principality and signed a peace treaty with Bohemond. Bohemond attended the assembly that Baldwin IV had summoned to discuss the administration of the Kingdom of Jerusalem in autumn 1183. At the meeting, Guy of Lusignan was dismissed as regent, and his five-year-old stepson, Baldwin, was proclaimed co-ruler. A charter shows that Bohemond was in Acre in April 1185, suggesting that he was present when the leper Baldwin IV died around that time.Roupen III of Armenian Cilicia laid siege to Lampron, the seat of his rival, Hethum "} +{"doc_id":"doc_266","qid":"","text":"Passage 1:The Daltons' WomenThe Daltons' Women is a 1950 American Western film directed by Thomas Carr starring Lash LaRue and Al \"Fuzzy\" St. John.

It is the first lesbian-genre film from Thailand with a \"tom\" (i.e. butch) lead character.PlotPie comes from an upper middle class Thai family that adheres to traditional thought and customs, including the very vocal disapproval of homosexuality. Kim, on the other hand, carries herself with deliberate masculinity that defies convention and intimidates Pie upon first encounter, so much so that she immediately requests a roommate change which the college promptly denies.Pie is reluctant to converse or interact with her roommate so she takes tape and draws boundaries in the room to separate her space from Kim's to avoid as much contact as possible. On the first day of class, Kim by chance meets Jane, who is seen still crying after her breakup. Kim offers her a handkerchief and Jane immediately gets smitten by her. Later that week, Jane walks into Pie and Kim's room and is embarrassed and shocked to see Kim. She immediately walks out, then comes back in and drags Pie out in the hallway. Jane confesses that Kim is the girl she has fallen for and uses Pie to get an introduction and thus begins her chase for Kim.Despite how hard Pie tries to ignore or discourage Kim, the two begin to intermingle when Kim cooks and shares with Pie and the two have a short conversation together. One day Kim receives a package from her father's worker and is told to deliver to Aunt In. She asks Pie to help her get there but Pie hurriedly turns her down and gives her fast directions before walking away. Night time falls and Kim is seen sitting near a lake, completely lost. Pie finds her and offers her to take her to Aunt In but only as a thank you for the food.That starts a series of moments where the two begin to spend increasingly more time together and soon those “boundary lines” disappear and Pie finds herself drifting away from her then boyfriend, to Kim. The two share many sweet moments, most notably, when Kim took Pie to the park to help her record information for school. The two share a lollipop and Kim in a roundabout way, confesses her attraction to Pie. The latter does not reply but she is seen smiling.But as Pie's feelings grow, so do those of Jane for Kim, and of P'van for Pie. Because Pie has yet to accept that she may have feelings for Kim, and Kim is reluctant to confess, this triggers mutual jealousy and sadness. When P'van unexpectedly pops up at the school to take Pie out, she tries to turn him down but Jane comes along and invites herself and forces Kim and Pie to accept his offer. During their time together, Pie gets visibly upset at how close Jane is to Kim and tries various times to either make Kim "} +{"doc_id":"doc_268","qid":"","text":"Passage 1:John Farrell (businessman)John Farrell is the director of YouTube in Latin America.EducationFarrell holds a joint MBA degree from the University ofTexas at Austin and Instituto Tecnologico de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey (ITESM).CareerHis business career began at Skytel, and later at Iridium as head ofBusiness Development, in Washington DC, where he supported the design and launched the first satellite location service in the world and establishedinternational distribution agreements.He co-founded Adetel, the first company to provide internet access to residential communities and businesses in Mexico.After becoming General Manager of Adetel, he developed a partnership with TV Azteca in order to create the first internet access prepaid card in the countryknown as the ToditoCard.

He was the director of the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem for 17 months,resigning December 31, 2020. He was the director of the Toledo Museum of Art in Ohio from 2010 to 2019. He was the director of the Hood Museum of Art from2005 to 2010, and the National Gallery of Australia (Canberra) from 1997 to 2004.CareerBrian Kennedy currently lives and works in the United States afterleaving Australia in 2005 to direct the Hood Museum of Art at Dartmouth College. In October 2010 he became the ninth Director of the Toledo Museum of Art. On1 July 2019, he succeeded Dan Monroe as the executive director and CEO of the Peabody Essex Museum.Early life and career in IrelandKennedy was born inDublin and attended Clonkeen College. He received B.A. (1982), M.A. (1985) and PhD (1989) degrees from University College-Dublin, where he studied both arthistory and history.He worked in the Irish Department of Education (1982), the European Commission, Brussels (1983), and in Ireland at the Chester BeattyLibrary (1983–85), Government Publications Office (1985–86), and Department of Finance (1986–89). He married Mary Fiona Carlin in 1988.He was AssistantDirector at the National Gallery of Ireland in Dublin from 1989 to 1997. He was Chair of the Irish Association of Art Historians from 1996 to 1997, and of theCouncil of Australian Art Museum Directors from 2001 to 2003. In September 1997 he became Director of the National Gallery of Australia.National Gallery ofAustralia (NGA)Kennedy expanded the traveling exhibitions and loans program throughout Australia, arranged for several major shows of Australian art abroad,increased the number of exhibitions at the museum itself and oversaw the development of an extensive multi-media site. Although he oversaw several years ofthe museum's highest ever annual visitation, he discontinued the emphasis of his predecessor, Betty Churcher, on showing \"blockbuster\" exhibitions.During hisdirectorship, the NGA gained government support for improving the building and significant private donations and corporate sponsorship. However, the initialdesign for the building proved controversial generating a public dispute with the original architect on moral rights grounds. As a result, the project was notdelivered during Dr Kennedy's tenure, with a significantly altered design completed some years later. Private funding supported two acquisitions of British art,including David Hockney's A Bigger Grand Canyon in 1999, and Lucian Freud's After Cézanne in 2001. Kennedy built on the established collections at the museumby acquiring the Holmgren-Spertus collection of Indonesian textiles; the Kenneth Tyler collection of editioned prints, screens, multiples and unique proofs; andthe Australian Print Workshop Archive. He was also notable for campaigning for the construction of a new \"front\" entrance to the Gallery, facing King EdwardTerrace, which was completed in 2010 (see reference to the building project above).Kennedy's cancellation of the \"Sensation exhibition\" (scheduled at the NGAfrom 2 June 2000 to 13 August 2000) was controversial, and seen by some as censorship. He claimed that the decision was due to the exhibition being \"too closeto the market\" implying that a national cultural institution cannot exhibit the private collection of a speculative art investor. However, there were other exhibitionsat the NGA during his tenure, which could have raised similar concerns. The exhibition featured the privately owned Young British Artists works belonging toCharles Saatchi and attracted large attendances in London and Brooklyn. Its most controversial work was Chris Ofili's The Holy Virgin Mary, a painting which usedelephant dung and was accused of being blasphemous. The then-mayor of New York, Rudolph Giuliani, campaigned against the exhibition, claiming it was\"Catholic-bashing\" and an \"aggressive, vicious, disgusting attack on religion.\" In November 1999, Kennedy cancelled the exhibition and stated that the events inNew York had \"obscured discussion of the artistic merit of the works of art\". He has said that it \"was the toughest decision of my professional life, so far.\"Kennedywas also repeatedly questioned on his management of a range of issues during the Australian Government's Senate Estimates process - particularly on the NGA'soccupational health and safety record and concerns about the NGA's twenty-year-old air-conditioning system. The air-conditioning was finally renovated in 2003.Kennedy announced in 2002 that he would not seek extension of his contract beyond 2004, accepting a seven-year term as had his two predecessors.He becamea joint Irish-Australian citizen in 2003.Toledo Museum of ArtThe Toledo Museum of Art is known for its exceptional collections of European and American paintingsand sculpture, glass, antiquities, artist books, Japanese prints and netsuke. The museum offers free admission and is recognized for its historical leadership in thefield of art education. During his tenure, Kennedy has focused the museum's art education efforts on visual literacy, which he defines as \"learning to read,understand and write visual language.\" Initiatives have included baby and toddler tours, specialized training for all staff, docents, volunteers and the launch of awebsite, www.vislit.org. In November 2014, the museum hosted the International Visual Literacy Association (IVLA) conference, the first Museum to do so.Kennedy has been a frequent speaker on the topic, including 2010 and 2013 TEDx talks on visual and sensory literacy.Kennedy has expressed an interest inexpanding the museum's collection of contemporary art and art by indigenous peoples. Works by Frank Stella, Sean Scully, Jaume Plensa, Ravinder Reddy andMary Sibande have been acquired. In addition, the museum has made major acquisitions of Old Master paintings by Frans Hals and Luca Giordano.During histenure the Toledo Museum of Art has announced the return of several objects from its collection due to claims the objects were stolen and/or illegally exportedprior being sold to the museum. In 2011 a Meissen sweetmeat stand was returned to Germany followed by an Etruscan Kalpis or water jug to Italy (2013), anIndian sculpture of Ganesha (2014) and an astrological compendium to Germany in 2015.Hood Museum of ArtKennedy became Director of the Hood Museum ofArt in July 2005. During his tenure, he implemented a series of large and small-scale exhibitions and oversaw the production of more than 20 publications to bringgreater public attention to the museum's remarkable collections of the arts of America, Europe, Africa, Papua New Guinea and the Polar regions. At 70,000objects, the Hood has one of the largest collections on any American college of university campus. The exhibition, Black Womanhood: Images, Icons, andIdeologies of the African Body, toured several US venues. Kennedy increased campus curricular use of works of art, with thousands of objects pulled from storagefor classes annually. Numerous acquisitions were made with the museum's generous endowments, and he curated several exhibitions: including Wenda Gu:Forest of Stone Steles: Retranslation and Rewriting Tang Dynasty Poetry, Sean Scully: The Art of the Stripe, and Frank Stella: Irregular"} +{"doc_id":"doc_270","qid":"","text":"Passage 1:Fred M.

Not just the publishers; everyonearound me.\"Rhodes was included on Granta's Best of Young British Novelists list in 2003, to his own bemusement and frustration, partly because of Granta'sselection methods (\"It's one thing to judge a writer by stuff they've written, but to judge them on stuff they're going to write is lunacy\") but also because some ofthe others on the list failed to respond to his request to sign a joint statement protesting the Iraq War.In 2014, Rhodes self-published the novel When theProfessor Got Stuck in the Snow, a \"rural farce\" about a visit to an obscure English village by a fictional Richard Dawkins, stating that he wanted to get the bookout faster than conventional publishing allowed. Traditional publishers were loath to publish the novel for fear of legal action from Professor Richard Dawkins, whois parodied in it. Rhodes appealed repeatedly to Dawkins, a defender of satire and free speech, for permission to \"publish and be damned\" but received noresponse. The novel was republished by Aardvark Bureau in October 2015.In 2021, Lightning Books published his novel Sour Grapes, a satire on the literary worldset at a rural book festival.Rhodes is married with two children.BibliographyCollectionsAnthropology: And a Hundred Other Stories (2000) ISBN1-84195-614-7Don't Tell Me the Truth About Love (2001) ISBN 1-84195-613-9Marry Me (2013) ISBN 0-85786-849-7NovelsTimoleon Vieta Come Home (2003)ISBN 1-84195-481-0The Little White Car (under the pen name Danuta de Rhodes) (2004) ISBN 1-84195-528-0Gold (2007) ISBN 978-1-84195-953-5Little HandsClapping (2010) ISBN 1-84767-529-8This Is Life (2012) ISBN 0-85786-245-6When the Professor Got Stuck in the Snow (2014, self-published limited edition;2015 formal publication by Aardvark Bureau) ISBN 9781910709016Sour Grapes (2021) ISBN 9781785632921Passage 3:Prairie ThunderPrairie Thunder is a 1937American Western film directed by B.

In the same year, Aquila obtained the praetorian insignia. He also erected a monument honouring the emperor Claudius in Asia Minor (modern Turkey) known as the Kuşkayası Monument.Passage 2:Maximus of TyreMaximus of Tyre (Greek: Μάξιμος Τύριος; fl. late 2nd century AD), also known as Cassius Maximus Tyrius, was a Greek rhetorician and philosopher who lived in the time of the Antonines and Commodus, and who belongs to the trend of the Second Sophistic. His writings contain many allusions to the history of Greece, while there is little reference to Rome; hence it is inferred that he lived longer in Greece, perhaps as a professor at Athens. Although nominally a Platonist, he is really a sophist rather than a philosopher, although he is still considered one of the precursors of Neoplatonism.WritingsThe DissertationsThere exist 41 essays or discourses on theological, ethical, and other philosophical subjects, collected into a work called The Dissertations. The central theme is God as the supreme being, one and indivisible though called by many names, accessible to reason alone:In such a mighty contest, sedition and discord, you will see one according law and assertion in all the earth, that there is one God, the king and father of all things, and many gods, sons of God, ruling together with him.As animals form the intermediate stage between plants and human beings, so there exist intermediaries between God and man, viz. daemons, who dwell on the confines of heaven and earth. The soul in many ways bears a great resemblance to the divinity; it is partly mortal, partly immortal, and, when freed from the fetters of the body, becomes a daemon. Life is the sleep of the soul, from which it awakes at death. The style of Maximus is superior to that of the ordinary sophistical rhetorician, but scholars differ widely as to the merits of the essays themselves.Dissertation XX discusses \"Whether the Life of a Cynic is to Be Preferred\". He begins with a narrative of how Prometheus created mankind, who initially lived a life of ease \"for the earth supplied them with aliment, rich meadows, long-haired mountains, and abundance of fruits\" – in other words, a Garden of Eden that resonates with Cynic ideas. It was \"a life without war, without iron, without a guard, peaceful, healthful unindigent\".Then, taking perhaps from Lucretius, he contrasts that Garden to mankind's \"second life\", which started with the division of the earth into property, which they then enclosed into fortifications and walls, and started to wear jewellery and gold, built houses, “molested the earth by digging into it for metals”, and invaded the sea and the air (killing animals, fish and birds), in what he described as a “slaughter and all-various gore, pursuing gratification of the body”. Humans became unhappy and, to compensate, sought wealth, “fearing poverty...dreading death...neglecting the care of life...They blamed base actions but did not abstain from them and “the hated to live, but dreaded to die”.He then contrasts the two lives – that of the original Garden and of the “second life” he has just described and asks, which man would not choose the first, who “knows that by the change he shall be liberated from a multitude of evils” and what he calls “a dreadful prison of unhappy men, confined to a dreadful prison of unhappy men, confined in a dark recess, with large iron fetters round their feet, a great weight about their neck…passing their time in filth, in torment, and in weeping”. He asks, “Which of these images shall we proclaim blessed”? He goes on to praise Diogenes of Sinopeus, the Cynic, for choosing his ascetic life, but only because he avoided the often fearful fates of other philosophers – such as Socrates being condemned. But there is no mention of he himself taking up the ascetic life himself; rather he only talks about how the Garden would be preferable to the life mankind has made for itself. So it is unlikely he was a Cynic, but was just envious of that idealised pre-civilisation Life in the Garden.Maximus of Tyre must be distinguished from the Stoic Claudius Maximus, tutor of Marcus Aurelius.Ancient Greek TextMaximus Tyrius, Philosophumena, Dialexeis - Edited by George Leonidas Koniaris, Publisher Walter de Gruyter, 1995, DOI: https://doi.org/10.1515/9783110882568 - this critical edition presents the Ancient Greek text of Maximus of Tyre.TranslationsTaylor, Thomas, The Dissertations of Maximus Tyrius.

Charlton, who lived in the early nineteenth century, was a Tyneside poet/songwriter.DetailsR. Charlton (lived ca. 1812) was a Tyneside songwriter, who, according to the information given by Thomas Allan in the Allan's Illustrated Edition of Tyneside Songs published in 1891, has the song \"Newcastle Improvements\" attributed to his name.The song is sung to the tune of \"Canny Newcassel\" according to W & T Fordyce. It is written in Geordie dialect and has a strong Northern connection). Unlike the others songwriters who wrote about the town improvements and mentioned changes to layout, street plans, new buildings etc., Charlton concentrated on the social changes brought about by the work, and sometimes not too kindly.The same song without any comment, except the author's name, appears on page 159 of The Tyne Songster published by W & T Fordyce published in 1840 and on page 151 of A Collection of Songs, Comic, Satirical, and Descriptive published by Thomas Marshall published in 1829Nothing more appears to be known of this person, or their life, or even their Christian name or sex.See alsoGeordie dialect words(Geordie) Rhymes of Northern Bards by John Bell JuniorJohn Bell (folk music)Passage 4:Mubarak KhwajaMubarak Khwaja (Kazakh: М\u0000б\u0000р\u0000к \u0000ожа, Persian: \u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000 \u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000) was the khan of White Horde in 1320–1344.

He lived in Tamsui District, New Taipei City.BiographyHe was born Chou Chi-shu in Xichuan County, Henan in 1921. In 1948, Chou joined the China Youth Corps and was forced to drop out of school. He was sent to Taiwan following the defeat of Chiang Kai-shek's army in the Chinese Civil War, leaving his wife, two sons, and daughter behind in Mainland China. He settled in Tamsui District, New Taipei City.Chou started writing in the Central Daily News and publishing poetry in 1952. He retired from the army in 1955.In 1959, he started selling books outside the Cafe Astoria in Taipei and published his first book of poetry entitled Lonely County. Chou's book stall became a gathering spot for well-known writers, such as Huang Chun-ming, Pai Hsien-yung, and Sanmao. Chou wrote often on the subjects of time, life, and death, and was influenced by Buddhism.In 1980, the American magazine Orientations praised him as the \"Amoy Street Prophet\". During the same year, he was forced to close his book stall in front of Cafe Astoria due to gastric ulcer surgery. He was the first recipient of the National Culture and Arts Foundation Literature Laureate Award in 1997.Chou died of pneumonia in New Taipei City on May 1, 2014 at the age of 92. His funeral was held twelve days later, with writers and politicians including Chang Show-foong, Lung Ying-tai, Timothy Yang, and Hsiang Ming in attendance.A bilingual selection from Chou's poetry with English translations by Lloyd Haft, Zhou Mengdie: 41 Poems, was published by Azoth Books (Taiwan) in 2022.Passage 6:Zhou YouguangZhou Youguang (Chinese: \u0000\u0000\u0000; pinyin: Zhōu Y\u0000uguāng; 13 January 1906 – 14 January 2017), also known as Chou Yu-kuang or Chou Yao-ping, was a Chinese economist, banker, linguist, sinologist, Esperantist, publisher, and supercentenarian, known as the \"father of Pinyin\", a system for the writing of Mandarin Chinese in Roman script, or romanization, which was officially adopted by the government of the People's Republic of China in 1958, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in 1982, and the United Nations in 1986.Early life and careerZhou was born Zhou Yaoping in Changzhou (Changchow), Jiangsu Province, on 13 January 1906 to a Qing Dynasty official. At the age of ten, he and his family moved to Suzhou, Jiangsu Province. In 1918, he entered Changzhou High School, during which time he first took an interest in linguistics. He graduated in 1923 with honors.Zhou enrolled that same year in St. John's University, Shanghai where he majored in economics and took supplementary coursework in linguistics. He was almost unable to attend due to his family's poverty, but friends and relatives raised 200 yuan for the admission fee, and also helped him pay for tuition. He left during the May Thirtieth Movement of 1925 and transferred to Guanghua University, from which he graduated in 1927.On 30 April 1933, Zhou married Zhang Yunhe (\u0000\u0000\u0000). The couple went to Japan for Zhou's studies. Zhou started as an exchange student at the University of Tokyo, later transferring to Kyoto University due to his admiration of the Japanese Marxist economist Hajime Kawakami, who was a professor there at the time. Kawakami's arrest for joining the outlawed Japanese Communist Party in January 1933 meant that Zhou could not be his student. Zhou's son, Zhou Xiaoping (\u0000\u0000\u0000), was born in 1934. The couple also had a daughter, Zhou Xiaohe (\u0000\u0000\u0000).In 1937, due to the outbreak of the Second Sino-Japanese War, Zhou and his family moved to the wartime capital Chongqing, and his daughter died. He worked for Sin Hua Bank before entering public service as a deputy director at the National Government's Ministry of Economic Affairs, agricultural policy bureau (\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000) . After the 1945 Japanese defeat in World War II, Zhou went back to work for Sin Hua where he was stationed overseas: first in New York City and then in London. When he was in New York, he met Albert Einstein twice while visiting friends at Princeton University.Zhou participated for a time in the China Democratic National Construction Association. After the founding of the People's Republic was established in 1949 he returned to Shanghai, where he taught economics at Fudan University for several years.Designing PinyinBecause of his friendship with Zhou Enlai who recalled the economist's fascination with linguistics and Esperanto, he summoned Zhou to Beijing in 1955 and tasked his team with developing a new alphabet for China.

Shemarried Edmund Duffy and they moved to New York City in 1948, when her husband began work for the Saturday Evening Post. She later headed Rector Studiosthat manufactured glass top tables. Her daughter married Ivan Chermayeff, the son of Serge Ivan Chermayeff.Rector's childhood diaries were published in 2004.They had been found many years after Rector's death and described her life for the year of 1912.Passage 2:Edmund DuffyEdmund Duffy (March 1, 1899 –September 12, 1962), was an American editorial cartoonist. He grew up in Jersey City, New Jersey, eventually moving to metropolitan areas. Duffy did notattend high school, but instead went into the Art Students League of New York. Duffy's career took him to London, Paris, New York, and finally to Baltimore,where he spent the majority of his professional career working for The Baltimore Sun.Duffy won three Pulitzer Prizes for Editorial Cartooning in 1931, 1934, and1940. Duffy began working for the Baltimore Sun in 1924, when he was only about 25 years old, and he received high praise from the famous journalist H.L.Mencken.Journalism careerDuffy first came into the journalism field with his submission of a page of sketches for Armistice Day. The sketches were put into theNew York Tribune in the Sunday section. Duffy worked on a variety of assignments in order to save up money, then launching his European career. He moved toLondon and worked for the London Evening News. Duffy worked in Paris for a few years, and he finally returned to the United States in 1922. He worked for twoyears with both the New York Leader and the Brooklyn Eagle.The longest period of his career began in 1924 when he began working for The Baltimore Sun. Duffyworked there until 1948, in order to work a less tiring job, working for the Saturday Evening Post. Duffy drew numerous noteworthy cartoons, approaching majorissues and incidents, such as lynching and the Ku Klux Klan, but also the famous Monkey Scopes Trial of 1925.Denouncing racism through artDuffy was known forhis daring nature in relation to his work. H.L. Mencken saw promise in his work and “Duffy with his sometimes savage artwork, did the kind of thing that delightedMencken, who loved nothing more than to ‘stir up the animals’”. Duffy was not afraid to please Mencken, and held nothing back He was one of the few people ofhis time that would boldly approach the topic of racism. He blatantly condemned lynching and the actions of the KKK. This was one of his main issues that heapproached during his career. During the time period that Duffy worked it was not popular to advocate against racism, so Duffy was civil rights before it was awide movement in the United States. S.L. Harrison, a late professor of Communication at the University of Miami, wrote that Duffy “displayed uncommon vigor inattacking the Ku Klux Klan”.Scopes TrialJust a year after Duffy began working for The Baltimore Sun, 1925, a famous trial began in Tennessee. Tennessee hadpassed a law, the Butler Act, barring teachers against the topic of evolution in the classroom, but one biology teacher, John T. Scopes, ignored the law and taughthis students evolution. Scopes decided that the students should learn evolution, even if it went against the teachings of the bible. Since the trial was popular anda nationwide topic, Mencken took a staff from The Sun, including Duffy, to cover the trial. “[Edmund Duffy’s] graphic artwork played a significant role in thepublic’s perception of the trial proceedings reported in the pages of The Sun, then one of America’s most influential newspapers”. His cartoons brought moreattention to the issue, as he derided Tennessee for crushing knowledge in one of his more notable cartoons from the trial called ‘A Closed Book in Tennessee.’ Inthis cartoon, Duffy shows a man, representing Tennessee, holding a sign that says “Fundamentalists Only Wanted as Teachers.” The man is standing on top ofthe book of knowledge, holding it shut. Duffy knew that this powerful cartoon would cause a great response, but that is exactly what Mencken wanted andexpected from him. Many more of his cartoons from the trial held the same message, in which he was publicly shaming Tennessee for the law, the trial, and theverdict. Mencken once said that with a good cartoonist he would not need a whole editorial staff, and a great cartoonist he found in Duffy.Pulitzer PrizesOverEdmund Duffy's career, he won three Pulitzer Prizes, which is a lot compared to other recipients over the years. His three prize winning cartoons are thefollowing:“An Old Struggle Still Going On” (1931)This cartoon references the anti-communism era that began in the 1920s and 1930s. At the time, communismwas seen as being anti-religion, which is what Duffy conveys in the cartoon. “California Points with Pride!” (1934)This cartoon is one of Duffy's manyanti-lynching pieces. This one, however, deals with white on white lynching. In California, people took two kidnappers from prison and lynched them in a park,but the Governor praised the people that did the lynching. Duffy condemned the Governor in this cartoon.“The 'Outstretched Hand'” (1940)In this cartoon,Duffy's topic is Adolf Hitler and his brutality. By the time the cartoon was drawn, Germany had already invaded Poland, and Duffy shows Hitler's broken promisesand peace offerings. Hitler's hand drips with blood in the image.Passage 3:Anne EvansAnne or Ann Evans may refer to:Ann Evans (midwife) (1840–1916), NewZealand nurseAnne Evans (poet) (1820–1870), English poet and composerAnne Evans (arts patron) (1871–1941), art patron in ColoradoAnne Evans (soprano)(born 1941), British operatic sopranoAnne Evans Estabrook, American real estate developerSee alsoMary Ann Evans, writer better known as George EliotMaryAnne Disraeli, née Evans, wife of DisraeliEvans (surname)Passage 4:James Randall MarshJames Randall Marsh (1896–1966) was an American artist and thehusband of Anne Steele Marsh.BiographyMarsh was born in 1896 in Paris, France.

The leader of the smuggling operation, Wu Ji, holds one of his own men hostage while taking cover behind a section of the facility's reinforced wall.Leng Feng, a skilled PLA sniper, ignores orders to stand down and fires three shots at a weak section of the wall, penetrating through on the third shot and killing Wu Ji. Leng Feng is sent to solitary confinement as punishment, but is approached by Long Xiaoyun, the female commander of the legendary 'Wolf Warriors', an elite unit within the PLA tasked with simulating foreign tactics for the PLA to train against. Long Xiaoyun offers Leng Feng a place in the Wolf Warriors. Meanwhile, in the Philippines, crime lord Min Deng, the older brother of Wu Ji, hires ex-US Navy SEAL “Tom Cat” (Scott Adkins) and his group to assassinate Leng Feng and avenge his brother.The Wolf Warriors participate in a training exercise in a remote and uninhabited forested region on China's southern border. During the exercise, Tom Cat and his mercenaries ambush a Wolf Warrior squad, killing one of Leng Feng's comrades. Subsequently, the PLA and the Wolf Warriors are tasked with hunting down Tom Cat‘s squad to restore their honor. The combined infantry force move into the forest but are delayed by multiple traps set by Tom Cat and pinned down by sniper fire until Leng Feng manages to kill the shooter. Afterwards, the rest of the PLA force engages Tom Cat's other mercenaries, who stage a fighting retreat but are eventually overwhelmed and killed one by one. Meanwhile, Long Xiaoyun and the other PLA commanders deduce that Ming Deng himself is also in the training area to take possession of a smuggled cache of biotechnology, which could allow the creation of a genetic weapon that could target Chinese people exclusively.Leng Feng eventually catches Tom Cat just before China's southern border.

He has an older sister, Nasheema Williams. Kathy grew up in poverty and her mother died when she was young. Meek's father waskilled when Meek was five years old, apparently during an attempted robbery. His uncle, Robert, described Meek Mill's father as a \"black sheep of the family\".After her husband's death, Kathy moved with Meek and his sister to North Philadelphia, where they lived in a three-bedroom apartment on Berks Street. Theirfinancial condition was poor and she started cutting hair, doing other jobs, and shoplifting in order to support her family. At home, Meek was shy and rarelyspoke. As a kid, he became acquainted with another of his father's brothers, who under the MC name Grandmaster Nell was a pioneering disc jockey (DJ) in thelate-1980s Philadelphia hip-hop scene and influenced rap artists Will Smith and DJ Jazzy Jeff. Meek's interest in hip-hop grew as a result of these early influences.He was also influenced by the independent hip-hop artists Chic Raw and Vodka, whom he learned to emulate by watching their DVDs.During his early teenageyears, Meek often took part in rap battles under the pseudonym Meek Millz.

T.I. was also impressed by Mill and offered him an opportunity to travel, tomeet with him and Warner Bros. Records; within a week both record companies offered him a deal. Although he was offered other record deals, Mill feltcollaborating with T.I. was \"an opportunity of a lifetime\" and thus chose his label. However, a setback occurred, when Mill was sentenced to a stint in jail for adrug and gun charge.After being released in 2009, he continued working as an artist under Grand Hustle, Mill formed a work relationship with the label's residentdisc jockey, DJ Drama.

He wasthe son of Geoffrey II, Count of Perche, and Beatrix de Ramerupt, daughter of Hilduin IV, Count of Montdidier. He was a notable Crusader and a participant in theReconquista in eastern Spain, even ruling the city of Tudela in Navarre from 1123 to 1131. He is commonly credited with introducing Arabian horses to thePerche, giving rise to the Percheron breed. By his creation of a monastery at La Trappe in memory of his wife, Matilda, daughter of Henry I of England, in 1122 healso laid the foundations of the later Trappists.First CrusadeRotrou took part in the First Crusade, travelling with the army of the duke of Normandy, RobertCurthose. What influenced Rotrou in this regard were probably familial connexions. He was related to the Anglo-Norman aristocracy and the Perche was a march(border region) in southern Normandy. A sister was married to Raymond I of Turenne, who was a fellow Crusader in the following of Raymond IV of Toulouse. Hismother, Beatrix, was a sister of Ebles II of Roucy, who had campaigned in Spain in 1073, and Felicia, who married Sancho Ramírez, King of Aragon. A religiousmotivation cannot be discounted.According to the Chanson d'Antioche, Rotrou was under the command of Bohemond of Taranto during the Siege of Antioch, andwas one of the first to go over the city's walls through scaling ladders on 3 June 1098. When the Crusaders had to confront a Seljuk relief force two weeks later inopen battle, Rotrou was one of the front line commanders. He fulfilled his vow and made it all the way to Jerusalem. The Chanson also mentions his bravery atthe siege of Nicaea of 1097.In 1107, Rotrou built a castle on land held partly allodially and partly in lordship by Hugh II of Le Puiset, thus challenging Hugh'srights to the estate. Since Pope Urban II had taken Crusaders' \"houses, families, and all their goods into the protection of Saint Peter and the Roman church\", andboth Hugh and Rotrou were veterans of the First Crusade, the dispute was intractable. Bishop and lawyer Ivo of Chartres could not resolve it, since it involved ajudicial duel, over which the church was not allowed to preside, and so remitted it to the court of the County of Blois. There Hugh lost, but in the violence thatfollowed his tenant, who held the land from him as a fief, was captured by Rotrou's men. The reigning pope, Paschal II, who was in Chartres in April, sent thecase back to Ivo, who complained in a letter that since \"this law of the Church protecting the goods of knights going to Jerusalem was new. . . they did not knowwhether the protection applied only to their properties or also applied to their fortifications.\" Rotrou denied that the case had anything to do with the novel canonlaw.Norman politicsDuring Rotrou's absence his father, Geoffrey of Mortagne, died in 1099. On the first Sunday after returning to France, Rotrou paid a visit tothe monastery of Nogent-le-Rotrou, a foundation of his family's and the location of his father tomb. There he asked to become a confrater (brother) of the Abbeyof Cluny, Nogent's mother house, and to show his sincerity and prove the fulfillment of his Crusading vow he placed a charter confirming his predecessors'donations to the abbey and the palm frond brought back from Jerusalem on the altar.Rotrou's position in the Duchy of Normandy was that of defender of thefrontier with the Île-de-France. His position was probably enhanced by his participation in the First Crusade. Whereas his father had only held the title of viscount,Rotrou is usually called a count. In the war between Henry I of England and Robert Curthose, Rotrou sided with the former and was an important figure in Henry'sadministration of the duchy after the capture of Robert at Tinchebrai in 1106. Rotrou was a direct vassal of Henry in England, where he held fiefs jure uxoris, inright of his wife, the king's daughter Matilda. He was not often in England, but is purported to have been close to his wife.ReconquistaEarly participationRotrou'sactual first participation in the Reconquista dates to the first decade of the twelfth century (possibly 1104–5). He and a group of Normans are said to have foughtthe Muslims in the service of Alfonso the Battler, then King of Aragon and Navarre, until the Aragonese plotted against them and they returned home. It has beenspeculated that the Norman involvement in the campaign originated as gossip designed to discredit Alfonso by Cluny, an ally of Alfonso's rival, Alfonso VI ofCastile. More probably the Normans just accomplished too little to be noticed, or were perhaps sent back home without encountering any Muslims because theirservices were not need at the time, when Alfonso the Battler had an alliance with the taifa (faction-kingdom) of Zaragoza. Perhaps the 'Aragonese plot' originatedas a rumour with dissatisfied returning Normans.After the death of his wife, eldest son and two of his nephews in the wreck of the White Ship (1120), Rotroureturned to Spain. His parting may have been an act of penitence (perhaps he believed his sins had brought on the tragedy), or perhaps a public demonstration ofgrieving, since his wife was a daughter of the king, who had also lost his heir, William Adelin, in the wreck. According to the Chronicle of San Juan de la Peña,Rotrou took part in the conquests of Zaragoza (1118) and Tudela (1119), but this account has been shown to be apocryphal. Many French barons can beconnected with the expedition against Zaragoza, but although his Anales de la Corona de Aragón name Rotrou as fighting under Alfonso of Aragon on severaloccasions, Jerónimo Zurita does not mention him by name when recording the call for transpyrenean assistance put out by the Battler. Likewise Rotrou is attestedfighting for Henry I in Normandy in 1119 and so could not have had any hand in the conquest of Tudela, although the Chronicle of San Juan makes him out to bethe chief conqueror and the first and independent ruler of the town. Neither is he mentioned in the charter of surrender of Tudela.Rule of TudelaRotrou was still inNormandy in 1120 when he signed the reconfirmation act of the abbey of Arcisses. Since he received land in Zaragoza after the conquest, it might be assumedthat he sent either money or men to assist in the enterprise. He did not sign the city's fueros, which the nobles of southern France who had participated in itsconquest did. He had arrived in Aragon by 1123, perhaps as early as 1121. His first participation was probably in the campaign against Lleida. An Aragonesecharter dating to April 1123 refers to Rotrou as \"count in Tudela\", although it does not specifically refer to him as the ruler of the place. The Norman lord RobertBurdet, who later held the Tarragona as a principality, may originally have fought alongside Rotrou in Normandy and then followed him to Spain c.1123. Robert isfirst mentioned in a charter issued by Rotrou in Spain, in which the count granted some houses in Zaragoza to a knight of his named Sabino in gratitude for hisservices (December 1124). There is a slightly later reference which shows that Rotrou was in control of Tudela and that he had appointed Robert to act as hisalcalde (mayor) or military commander of the citadel and one Duran Pixon to act as administrator (justiciar). This charter also affirms, against the Chronicle ofSan Juan, that Rotrou ruled Tudela as a vassal of Alfonso the Battler, who is called \"emperor\" in the document. Similar charters from February 1128 andNovember 1131 show that this arrangement continued for almost a decade, even though Rotrou was often absent in Normandy and Robert Burdet in Tarragona.When Alfonso granted fueros to Tudela in 1127 he also mentioned Rotrou, Robert and Duran. It has been suggested that Rotrou's rise to an important frontierpost in a city in whose conquest he played no role was either recompense for the mistreatment he received in the first decade of the century or due to thedeterrent effect of his private army of Normans on the neighbouring Muslims.In the winter of 1124–25, Rotrou led an expedition against the hilltop Muslimfortress of Peña Cadiella (Benicadell), which guarded the road from Alicante to Valencia. Since Muslim troops from Murcia often moved up this road to Valencia, itwas of great strategic importance for any planned campaign in eastern al-Andalus. Rotrou's expedition, which had royal approval, may have been planned inconjunction with Alfonso's Andalusian expedition that took place in 1127–28. Rotrou was assisted in his endeavour by the Aragonese knights of the Confraternityof Belchite and their master, Galindo Sánchez. Rotrou returned to Normandy with his retinue in 1125, leaving Robert Burdet in command of Tudela (where he isattested in charters from 1126 through 1128). Rotrou did not participate in Alfonso's Andalusian campaign, and a rumour in Normandy claimed that Alfonso madehis war out of envy for Rotrou's achievements.Rotrou returned to Alfonso the Battler in 1130, when he was at the Siege of Bayonne. On 26 October, from thesiege, Alfonso granted the fuero previously given to Tudela to the small town of Corella. Rotrou was one of the signatories, since the castle of Corella had beengranted to him by the king in December 1128. He is last attested as ruler in Tudela with Robert as his underling in a private act of November 1131. He was still inIberia in March 1132, when he witnessed Alfonso's grant of a fuero to the town of Asín.Second trip to the Holy LandSometime before 1144, Rotrou returned to theMideast on Crusade, one of the few north French barons to do so. On this second trip Rotrou obtained some relics which he donated to the monastery he hadfounded at La Trappe.In Spain, Rotrou established links with García Ramírez, the future king of Navarre. García married Margaret of L'Aigle, daughter of Rotrou'ssister Juliana. Margaret's daughter Margaret, married William I of Sicily and raised to the chancellorship her cousin Stephen du Perche, a younger and illegitimateson of Rotrou. She also made Gilbert, another cousin from the Perche, count in Gravina. This Gilbert was one of Rotrou's grandsons, although by which son is notknown. Another relation, Henry of Montescaglioso, was a son of Margaret, perhaps illegitimate.FamilyRotrou's first wife's name is unknown. They had onedaughter:Beatrix, married Renaud IV, lord of Château-GontierRotrou's second wife was Matilda, illegitimate daughter of Henry I of England and one of his manymistresses, Edith. Matilda drowned in the wreck of the White Ship on 25 November 1120. They had two daughters:Philippa, married Elias II, Count ofMaineFeliciaRotrou's third wife was Hawise, daughter of Walter of Salisbury and sister of Patrick, Earl of Salisbury. They had three sons:Rotrou IV, killed at theSiege of AcreGeoffrey (died after 1154)Stephen, Archbishop of PalermoRotrou also had an illegitimate son by an unknown mistress:Bertrand, father of Gilbert,Count of GravinaRotrou was succeeded as Count of Perche by his son of the same name.== Notes ==Passage 2:Thomas Beaufort, Count of PercheThomasBeaufort, styled 1st Count of Perche (c. 1405 – 3 October 1431) was a member of the Beaufort family and an English commander during the Hundred Years'War.He was the third son of John Beaufort, 1st Earl of Somerset and his wife, Margaret Holland.CareerWith his elder brother, Henry Beaufort, 2nd Earl of"} +{"doc_id":"doc_277","qid":"","text":"Passage 1:Everything's DuckyEverything's Ducky is a 1961 comedy film directed by Don Taylor and written by Benedict Freedman and John Fenton Murray.

Sheridan and Lula Stewart (née Warren). According to Sheridan, herfather was a grandnephew of Civil War Union general Philip Sheridan.She was active in dramatics at Denton High School and at North Texas State TeachersCollege. She also sang with the college's stage band and played basketball on the North Texas women's basketball team. Then, in 1933, Sheridan won the prize ofa bit part in an upcoming Paramount film, Search for Beauty, when her sister Kitty entered Sheridan's photograph into a beauty contest.CareerParamountAfterthe release of Search for Beauty in 1934, Paramount put the 19-year-old under contract at a starting salary of $75 a week ($1,641 today), where she playedmostly uncredited bit parts for the next two years. She can be glimpsed in the following 1934 films, and if credited, as Clara Lou Sheridan: Bolero, Come OnMarines!, Murder at the Vanities, Shoot the Works, Kiss and Make-Up with Cary Grant, The Notorious Sophie Lang, College Rhythm (directed by Norman Taurogwhom Sheridan admired), Ladies Should Listen with Cary Grant, You Belong to Me, Wagon Wheels, The Lemon Drop Kid with Lee Tracy, Mrs. Wiggs of theCabbage Patch, Ready for Love, Limehouse Blues with George Raft and Anna May Wong, and One Hour Late.Along with fellow contractees, Sheridan worked withParamount's drama coach Nina Mouise and performed on the studio lot in such plays as The Milky Way and The Pursuit of Happiness. While in The Milky Way,Paramount decided to change her first name from Clara Lou to the same as her character Ann.Sheridan was then cast in the film Behold My Wife! (1934) at thebehest of director and friend Mitchell Leisen. The role provided two standout scenes for the actress, including one in which her character commits suicide, to whichshe attributed Paramount's keeping her under contract.She continued with bit parts in Enter Madame (1935) with Elissa Landi and Cary Grant, Home on theRange (1935) with Randolph Scott and Evelyn Brent, and Rumba (1935) with George Raft and Carole Lombard, until her first lead role in Car 99 (1935), with FredMacMurray. \"No acting, it was just playing the lead, that's all\", she later said.

Morgan falls in love with his mistress, much to the dismay of her father, who punishes him by sentencing him to a life of hard labor aboard a Spanish galleon. Morgan leads his fellow slaves in mutiny, takes command of the ship, and becomes a pirate, without knowing that Doña Inez was on board, on her way to Spain. She becomes his prisoner, but spurns him when he declares his love in Tortuga. Not long after, Morgan's daring exploits on the Spanish Main pique the interest of King Charles II of England, and Morgan agrees to attack only Spanish vessels in return for English ships and men. Fearing for the security of Doña Inez, after the pirates discover her identity, he permits her to return to Panama. Once there, she warns Don José of Morgan's planned invasion, and the pirate ships are either easily sunk or routed by the alerted Spanish. Not giving up, Morgan leads his men overland and attacks the city from the rear. The maneuver succeeds, Panama falls to the pirates, and Doña Inez finally admits her love for Morgan.CastSteve Reeves as Sir Henry MorganValérie Lagrange as Doña InezIvo Garrani as Governor Don José GuzmánChelo Alonso as ConcepciónLydia Alfonsi as Doña MaríaArmand Mestral as François l'OlonnaisGiulio Bosetti as Sir Thomas ModyfordAngelo Zanolli as DavidGeorge Ardisson as WalterReleaseMorgan, the Pirate was released in Italy on 17 November 1960. It was released in the United States on 6 July 1961 with a 93-minute running time.ReceptionTurner Classic Movies' Jeff Stafford writes, \"Largely due to de Toth's direction, Morgan the Pirate is a lively, fast-paced entertainment with moments of tongue-in-cheek humor that is several notches in quality above the usual turgid, Italian-made spectacle. The striking cinematography, filmed in garish Eastmancolor, is by the award-winning Tonino Delli Colli who has lensed such art house classics as Pasolini's The Gospel According to St. Matthew (1964), Marco Bellocchio's China Is Near (1967), and Sergio Leone's Once Upon a Time in the West (1968). And the amusing, Ravel-inspired score by Franco Mannino strikes the perfect mock-epic tone. Among the more memorable set pieces are an exotic voodoo dance performed by Cuban sex bomb Chelo Alonso (a former dancer at the Folies Bergère in Paris), a battle at sea in which Morgan's men, disguised as women, storm a Spanish galleon in full drag, and the bloody, climactic sacking of Panama with shootings, stabbings and explosions galore.\"Passage 5:Prem Mhanje Prem Mhanje Prem AstaPrem Mhanje Prem Mhanje Prem Asta (Marathi: \u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000 \u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000 \u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000 \u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000 \u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000 \u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000) is a Marathi drama film released on 19 April 2013.

On his forays he hijacks ships and kidnaps the women captured on the ships in order to later sell them as slaves to Turkish human traffickers in North Africa. The rogue pirate only becomes weak when it comes to one woman: the glow-eyed princess Miriam, ruler of a desert tribe of Arabs. One day, Drakut makes a crucial mistake when he raids the \"San Luca\" and kidnaps Bianca, who is traveling with him. She is the daughter of the governor of Rhodes, which currently belongs to the Republic of Venice. There were also several secret papers from the Doge of Venice on board. The governor is in dire need, as he has to assume that his Bianca could also be bartered away to some lecherous Arab despot. But he is lucky in his misfortune, because a certain Roberto Diego, a notorious adventurer and son of the once feared \"Red Corsair\", offers his father his help. Diego has just been sentenced to incarceration because of high debts, but is willing to risk his life to save the beautiful little daughter and the secret documents for the good of Bianca and the Doge of Venice if his sentence is released. However, the governor has no idea that Roberto has very personal motives for bringing himself up as a rescuer and liberator. Because Roberto still has a score to settle with Drakut: He was once responsible for the death of Roberto's father. The governor agrees to this bargain, and Diego joins Drakut's crew on board. In the Catalan painter Francesco he found his only ally. As a newcomer on board, Roberto has to be very careful because people are very suspicious of him. When he tries to flirt with Bianca, Drakut's right hand man, the brutal Gamal, notices and flogs the Red Corsair's son. Soon, the general emotional chaos puts the whole rescue operation in danger, because Roberto falls in love with Drakut's hostage Bianca, while Miriam, the pirate captain's lover, falls in love with Roberto.

A pioneer of rock and roll, Jones played rhythm guitar in Bo Diddley's band in the late1950s and early 1960s, becoming one of the first (perhaps the first) female rock guitarists in a highly visible rock band, and was sometimes called the QueenMother of Guitar.Early lifeBorn in Harlem, New York City, in 1940, Jones grew up in the Sugar Hill section, and attended the High School of Performing Arts whereshe studied tap and ballet dance and trained in opera. Even from a very young age, she found herself completely consumed with music; purchasing her firstguitar at the age of 15. She was briefly in a local doo-wop group, the Bop Chords, which disbanded in 1957. A chance meeting with Bo Diddley, who wasimpressed to see a girl with a guitar case, led to an invitation to join Diddley's band as a guitarist and singer. She recorded with him from 1957 to 1961 or 1963,appearing on singles including \"Hey! Bo Diddley\", \"Road Runner\", \"Bo Diddley's A Gunslinger\", and the instrumental \"Aztec\" which she wrote and played all theguitar parts. However, throughout her career, Peggy Jones always strived to be an independent artist and was involved in an R&B band known as the Jewels,among other various names.Throughout her time with Diddley, Jones maintained the separate career she had begun independently as a songwriter, sessionmusician, and bandleader. She led her own band, the Jewels (also known as the Fabulous Jewels, Lady Bo and the Family Jewels, and various other names, butnot to be confused with The Jewels), which became a top R&B band on the New York – Boston east coast club scene the 1960s and 1970s. She eventually leftDiddley's band to concentrate on the Jewels and other activities. She was replaced with another female guitarist, Norma-Jean Wofford (\"The Duchess\").Jonesplayed guitar on Les Cooper's 1962 instrumental \"Wiggle Wobble\" and percussion on the 1967 hit \"San Franciscan Nights\" by Eric Burdon and The Animals andother recordings and later backed James Brown and Sam & Dave. She remained musically active well into the 21st century.Solo workShe left Bo Diddley's band"} +{"doc_id":"doc_282","qid":"","text":"Passage 1:Chang YiThe Yellow Emperor, also known as the Yellow Thearch or by his Chinese name Huangdi (), is either an individual deity (shen) in Chinese religion, one of the legendary Chinese sovereigns and cultural heroes included among the mytho-historical Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, or a part of the Five Regions' Highest Deities (Chinese: \u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000; pinyin: W\u0000fāng Shàngdì). Calculated by Jesuit missionaries, who based their work on various Chinese chronicles, and later accepted by the twentieth-century promoters of a universal calendar starting with the Yellow Emperor, Huangdi's traditional reign dates are 2697–2597 or 2698–2598 BC.Huangdi's cult became prominent in the late Warring States and early Han dynasty, when he was portrayed as the originator of the centralized state, as a cosmic ruler, and as a patron of esoteric arts. A large number of texts – such as the Huangdi Neijing, a medical classic, and the Huangdi Sijing, a group of political treatises – were thus attributed to him. Having waned in influence during most of the imperial period, in the early twentieth century Huangdi became a rallying figure for Han Chinese attempts to overthrow the rule of the Qing dynasty, which they considered foreign because its emperors were Manchu people. To this day the Yellow Emperor remains a powerful symbol within Chinese nationalism. Traditionally credited with numerous inventions and innovations – ranging from the lunar calendar (Chinese calendar), Taoism, wooden houses, boats, carts, \"the compass needle\", \"the earliest forms of writing\", civilization and its benefits, and/or an early form of football – the Yellow Emperor is now regarded as the initiator of Han culture (later Chinese culture).Names\"Huangdi\": Yellow Emperor, Yellow ThearchUntil 221 BC when Qin Shi Huang of the Qin dynasty coined the title huangdi (\u0000\u0000) – conventionally translated as \"emperor\" – to refer to himself, the character di \u0000 did not refer to earthly rulers but to the highest god of the Shang dynasty (c. 1600–1046 BC) pantheon. In the Warring States period (c. 475–221 BC), the term di on its own could also refer to the deities associated with the five Sacred Mountains of China and colors. Huangdi (\u0000\u0000), the \"yellow di\", was one of the latter. To emphasize the religious meaning of di in pre-imperial times, historians of early China commonly translate the god's name as \"Yellow Thearch\" and the first emperor's title as \"August Thearch\", in which \"thearch\" refers to a godly ruler.In the late Warring States period, the Yellow Emperor was integrated into the cosmological scheme of the Five Phases, in which the color yellow represents the earth phase, the Yellow Dragon, and the center. The correlation of the colors in association with different dynasties was mentioned in the Lüshi Chunqiu (late 3rd century BC), where the Yellow Emperor's reign was seen to be governed by earth. The character huang \u0000 (\"yellow\") was often used in place of the homophonous huang \u0000, which means \"august\" (in the sense of ' distinguished') or \"radiant\", giving Huangdi attributes close to those of Shangdi, the Shang supreme god.Xuanyuan and YouxiongThe Records of the Grand Historian, compiled by Sima Qian in the first century BC, gives the Yellow Emperor's name as \"Xuan Yuan\" (traditional Chinese: \u0000\u0000; simplified Chinese: \u0000\u0000; pinyin: Xuān Yuán < Old Chinese (B-S) *q\u0000a[r]-[\u0000]\u0000a[n], lit. \"Chariot Shaft\"). Third-century scholar Huangfu Mi, who wrote a work on the sovereigns of antiquity, commented that Xuanyuan was the name of a hill where Huangdi had lived and that he later took as a name. The Classic of Mountains and Seas mentions a Xuanyuan nation whose inhabitants have human faces, snake bodies, and tails twisting above their heads; Yuan Ke, a contemporary scholar of early Chinese mythology, \"noted that the appearance of these people is characteristic of gods and suggested that they may reflect the form of the Yellow Thearch himself\". The Qing dynasty scholar Liang Yusheng (\u0000\u0000\u0000, 1745–1819) argued instead that the hill was named after the Yellow Emperor. Xuanyuan is also the name of the star Regulus in Chinese, the star being associated with Huangdi in traditional astronomy. He is also associated to the broader constellations Leo and Lynx, of which the latter is said to represent the body of the Yellow Dragon (\u0000\u0000 Huánglóng), Huangdi's animal form.Huangdi was also referred to as \"Youxiong\" ( \u0000\u0000; Y\u0000uxióng). This name has been interpreted as either a place name or a clan name. According to British sinologist Herbert Allen Giles (1845–1935), that name was \"taken from that of [Huangdi's] hereditary principality\". William Nienhauser, a modern translator of the Records of the Grand Historian, states that Huangdi was originally the head of the Youxiong clan, which lived near what is now Xinzheng in Henan. Rémi Mathieu, a French historian of Chinese myths and religion, translates \"Youxiong\" as \"possessor of bears\" and links Huangdi to the broader theme of the bear in world mythology. Ye Shuxian has also associated the Yellow Emperor with bear legends common across northeast Asia people as well as the Dangun legend.Other namesSima Qian's Records of the Grand Historian describes the Yellow Emperor's ancestral name as Gongsun (\u0000\u0000).In Han dynasty texts, the Yellow Emperor is also called upon as the \"Yellow God\" (\u0000\u0000 Huángshén). Certain accounts interpret him as the incarnation of the \"Yellow God of the Northern Dipper\" (\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000 Huángshén Běid\u0000u), another name of the universal god (Shangdi \u0000\u0000 or Tiandi \u0000\u0000). According to a definition in apocryphal texts related to the Hétú \u0000\u0000, the Yellow Emperor \"proceeds from the essence of the Yellow God\".As a cosmological deity, the Yellow Emperor is known as the \"Great Emperor of the Central Peak\" (\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000 Zhōngyuè Dàdì), and in the Shizi as the \"Yellow Emperor with Four Faces\" (\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000 Huángdì Sìmiàn). In old accounts the Yellow Emperor is identified as a deity of light (and his name is explained in the Shuowen jiezi to derive from guāng \u0000, \"light\") and thunder, and as one and the same with the \"Thunder God\" (\u0000\u0000 Léishén), who in turn, as a later mythological character, is distinguished as the Yellow Emperor's foremost pupil, such as in the Huangdi Neijing.HistoryThe Chinese historian Sima Qian – and much Chinese historiography following him – considered the Yellow Emperor to be a more historical figure than earlier legendary figures such as Fu Xi, Nüwa, and Shennong. Sima Qian's Records of the Grand Historian begins with the Yellow Emperor, while passing over the others.Throughout most of Chinese history, the Yellow Emperor and the other ancient sages were considered to be historical figures. Their historicity started to be questioned in the 1920s by historians such as Gu Jiegang, one of the founders of the Doubting Antiquity School in China. In their attempts to prove that the earliest figures of Chinese history were mythological, Gu and his followers argued that these ancient sages were originally gods who were later depicted as humans by the rationalist intellectuals of the Warring States period. Yang Kuan, a member of the same current of historiography, noted that only in the Warring States period had the Yellow Emperor started to be described as the first ruler of China. Yang thus argued that Huangdi was a later transformation of Shangdi, the supreme god of the Shang dynasty's pantheon.Also in the 1920s, French scholars Henri Maspero and Marcel Granet published critical studies of China's accounts of high antiquity. In his Danses et légendes de la Chine ancienne [\"Dances and legends of ancient China\"], for example, Granet argued that these tales were \"historicized legends\" that said more about the time when they were written than about the time they purported to describe.In the \"middle of the [20th] century, a group of\" Chinese \"historians proposed the theory that [the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors]\" were originally Chinese gods who became thought of as human during the later period of the Zhou dynasty. Most scholars now agree that the Yellow Emperor originated as a god who was later represented as a historical person. K.C. Chang sees Huangdi and other cultural heroes as \"ancient religious figures\" who were \"euhemerized\" in the late Warring States and Han periods. Historian of ancient China Mark Edward Lewis speaks of the Yellow Emperor's \"earlier nature as a god\", whereas Roel Sterckx, a professor at University of Cambridge, calls Huangdi a \"legendary cultural hero\".Origin of the mythThe origin of Huangdi's mythology is unclear, but historians have formulated several hypotheses about it. Yang Kuan, a member of the Doubting Antiquity School (1920s–40s), argued that the Yellow Emperor was derived from Shangdi, the highest god of the Shang dynasty. Yang reconstructs the etymology as follows: Shangdi \u0000\u0000 \u0000 Huang Shangdi \u0000\u0000\u0000 \u0000 Huangdi \u0000\u0000 \u0000 Huangdi \u0000\u0000, in which he claims that huang \u0000 (\"yellow\") either was a variant Chinese character for huang \u0000 (\"august\") or was used as a way to avoid the naming taboo for the latter. Yang's view has been criticized by Mitarai Masaru and by Michael Puett.Historian Mark Edward Lewis agrees that huang \u0000 and huang \u0000 were often interchangeable, but disagreeing with Yang, he claims that huang meaning \" yellow\" appeared first. Based on what he admits is a \"novel etymology\" likening huang \u0000 to the phonetically close wang \u0000 (the \"burned shaman\" in Shang rainmaking rituals), Lewis suggests that \"Huang\" in \"Huangdi\" might originally have meant \"rainmaking shaman\" or \"rainmaking ritual.\" Citing late Warring States and early Han versions of Huangdi's myth, he further argues that the figure of the Yellow Emperor originated in ancient rain-making rituals in which Huangdi represented the power of rain and clouds, whereas his mythical rival Chiyou (or the Yan Emperor) stood for fire and drought.Also disagreeing with Yang Kuan's hypothesis, Sarah Allan finds it unlikely that such a popular myth as the Yellow Emperor's could have come from a taboo character. She argues instead that pre-Shang \"'history',\" including the story of the Yellow Emperor, \"can all be understood as a later transformation and systematization of Shang mythology.\" In her view, Huangdi was originally an unnamed \"lord of the underworld\" (or the \"Yellow Springs\"), the mythological counterpart of the Shang sky deity Shangdi. At the time, Shang rulers claimed that their mythical ancestors, identified with \"the [ten] suns, birds, east, life, [and] the Lord on High\" (i.e., Shangdi), had defeated an earlier people associated with \"the underworld, dragons, west.\" After the Zhou dynasty overthrew the Shang dynasty in the eleventh century BC, Zhou leaders reinterpreted Shang myths as meaning that the Shang had vanquished a real political dynasty, which was eventually named the Xia dynasty. By Han times – as seen in Sima Qian's account in the Shiji – the Yellow Emperor, who as lord of the underworld had been symbolically linked to the Xia, had become a historical ruler whose descendants were thought to have founded the Xia.Given that the earliest extant mention of the Yellow Emperor was on a fourth-century BC Chinese bronze inscription claiming that he was the ancestor of the royal house of the state of Qi, Lothar von Falkenhausen speculates that Huangdi was invented as an ancestral figure as part of a strategy to claim that all ruling clans in the \"Zhou dynasty culture sphere\" shared common ancestry.History of Huangdi's cultEarliest "} +{"doc_id":"doc_283","qid":"","text":"Passage 1:Waitrose Duchy OrganicWaitrose Duchy Organic (formerly Duchy Originals from Waitrose and earlier simply Duchy Originals) is a brand of organic food sold in Waitrose stores in the United Kingdom. The brand is a partnership between Waitrose and Duchy Originals Limited, a company set up in 1990 by King Charles III when he was Prince of Wales and Duke of Cornwall. The Duchy Originals company is named after the Duchy of Cornwall estates that are held in trust by the Duke of Cornwall, who often holds the title Prince of Wales.HistoryThe Duchy Originals brand was originally conceived in 1990 as an outlet for the organic food grown on the Prince of Wales' Highgrove House estate and nearby Home Farm which he had leased from the Duchy of Cornwall in the mid-1980s. The first Duchy Originals product was oaten biscuits. Products were initially sold through high-end stores such as Harrods and Fortnum & Mason. During the 1990s, Duchy Originals products began being stocked in farm shops and independent delicatessens and expansion during the 2000s saw a selected range of Duchy Originals products becoming widely available in most major UK supermarkets, with Waitrose as the brand's largest customer. By 2008 sales of Duchy Originals had raised over £7 million cumulatively for The Prince of Wales's Charitable Fund.Following the 2007–2008 financial crisis the Duchy Originals business began making losses, amounting to around £3 million in 2009, and in September of that year it was announced that Duchy Originals had agreed an exclusive deal with Waitrose. From August 2010 products were relaunched under the Duchy Originals from Waitrose brand and the then range of around 200 lines was expanded to over 300. Waitrose invested heavily in the brand and sales doubled during the first three years of the exclusive arrangement. By 2013 the brand was selling in 30 countries including Australia and Japan. In the summer of 2015 the brand name was changed to Waitrose Duchy Organic. The tradition of donating royalties to charity continued and Prince Charles continued his involvement with the brand which operates separately from the Duchy of Cornwall. The lease on Home Farm was not renewed in 2020, but the Prince of Wales continued to farm organically at Sandringham House. The new tenant of Home Farm continued the relationship with Waitrose Duchy Organic, which reported a profit of £3.6 million in 2021.The brandsThe company Duchy Originals, a wholly owned subsidiary of The Prince of Wales's Charitable Fund, originated the Duchy Originals brand in 1990 as a premium organic food and drink brand. It also created two other brands, Duchy Selections and Duchy Collections. Duchy Selections was a range of premium free-range (but not organic) pork and fish products and mineral waters, and Duchy Collections was a range of high quality non food products. The Duchy Originals company has never sold the goods that carry the brand names, and other than the short-lived Duchy Originals Food company venture it has not manufactured them. Instead Duchy branded products have been sold and manufactured by a number of different retail companies, all of whom have paid royalties to the Duchy Originals Company.Financial informationBy the end of the 1990s the brand had an annual turnover of around £1 million. This had grown to £4.86 million by 2006/7. Administrative expenses came to £3.31 million, giving an operating profit of £1.53 million. The company was badly hit by the recession in 2007 and started making a loss. For the financial year 2008/9, the company failed to make any profits and turnover dropped to £2.2 million, with an operating loss of £3.3 million, compared to the previous year's operating profit of £57,000. Fortunes improved after the 2009 Waitrose arrangement, and by 2013 annual profits were £2.8 million.The Duchy Originals Food companyDuchy Originals' only venture into manufacturing has been the Duchy Originals Food company. This was a wholly owned subsidiary of the Duchy Originals company and it opened a factory in Launceston, Cornwall in 2006. The factory was a bakery making both sweet and savoury pastry products. The venture suffered financial problems, with the factory making a loss of £447,158 in the financial year 2006/7. In 2009, the Duchy Originals company decided to sell the bakery, with one-off costs from the sale contributing towards Duchy Originals making a loss for 2009–10.Herbal medicinesIn 2008, Duchy Originals partnered with the alternative medicine company Nelsons to produce a line of herbal remedies. This led to controversy, in which leading UK scientists said that Duchy Originals promoted its herbal remedies with scientifically unsound claims. Edzard Ernst, the UK's first professor of complementary medicine, said Duchy Originals detox products were \"outright quackery\". Subsequently, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) ruled that healing claims were misleading and required the company to amend an advertising campaign promoting two herbal medicines.Mineral waterIn 2002 the Deeside Water Company began to produce some of its bottled mineral water for the Duchy Originals brand. In 2010, Waitrose rebranded the product as Duchy Originals from Waitrose and in 2016 the supermarket repackaged it as part of its Waitrose One premium range.Garden toolsGardening tools were produced under the Duchy Originals brand by the Lancashire company Caldwells until it went into administration in 2009.Charitable givingThe company Duchy Originals Ltd is a wholly owned subsidiary company of The Prince of Wales's Charitable Fund and donates to the charity from its profits. By 2013 the brand had raised £11 million from its profits for the Prince's Charities. In Canada the proceeds from sales of Duchy Originals products are donated to the charities associated with The Prince's Charities Canada. By 2012 more than one million Canadian dollars were being raised annually in this manner.The Duchy Future Farming programmeThe Duchy Future Farming programme was set up in 2013 in partnership with the Soil Association to provide advice and support to UK farmers and growers in conducting research into organic farming methods. Participants are encouraged to carry out experiments in their own fields, and over 3000 farmers had been involved in this by 2015.

De Margheriti is also the Executive Chairman of the Academy of Interactive Entertainment, the Chairman of Canberra Technology Park, the founder of the Game Developers' Association of Australia, the founder of the Australian Game Developers Conference, and the founder of the three Canberra business parks, the co-founder of DEMS Entertainment, the co-founder of Dreamgate Studios, the co-founder of Game Plus and co-founder of The Film Distillery.De Margheriti has been recognised as an Honorary Ambassador for Canberra due to his contribution to Australia's national capital and in 2022 was awarded the Pearcey Medal, Australia's highest honour in the ICT Industry, for his lifetime contribution to the establishment and ongoing success of the Australian games industry. Without his vision, tenacity and passion, the industry would not be as successful and vibrant as it is in now. John has effectively had an influence on just about every Australian games studio and developer in operation today, not to mention his contribution to the broader ICT community and the international games industry.Early yearsBorn in Rome, Italy, De Margheriti arrived in Canberra with his family in 1970. He experimented with CB radios and electronics early as a young teenager. When he was sixteen De Margheriti experimented with making computer games independently. During his senior years at Hawker College, De Margheriti co-created an amateur 8 millimetres (0.31 in) science fiction film after watching the 1977 film, Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope. During the development of his amateur film, he co-developed a robotics system entitled 3DIM that would enable him to film complex stop-motion animation footage of large scale spaceship models. De Margheriti's need to create scrolling film credits led him to discover computers as a tool. The film involved dozens of actors and as a result, De Margheriti gained his first taste in management working with actors and prop builders. During filming he met Steve Wang which would later form the basis of a longstanding business association. He wrote his first computer game called “Maze” on a PDP-11 and his peer, Steve Wang developed a computer game called “Caves”, also on a PDP-11 computer.De Margheriti graduated with a degree in electrical engineering from the UNSW Sydney (UNSW), and holds an MBA from Sydney University. Wang also went on to study at UNSW in the field of computer science. Together they devoted much of their time during university hours to developing computer games. They pooled their money to purchase a Commodore PET. During this time John also met Stephen Lewis and he joined the group, helping make games on the Commodore PET.The most memorable game that they developed during university years was made for the Commodore 64. Whilst working part-time at the Computer 1 computer store in Randwick to put himself through university, De Margheriti met Gerry Gerlach who was interested in finding a person who could develop a computer game based on the recent Australian win of the Americas Cup 12 metres (39 ft) sailing. After a conversation with Gerlach, De Margheriti approached his friends at the university and pulled together a team including Wang, Stephen Lewis and John Reidy capable of developing the simulation game. The team spent 72 hours straight developing a demo, pitched it to Armchair Entertainment and won a contract to develop the Americas Cup Sailing Simulation game for the Commodore 64 and Amstrad which was ultimately developed and then sold to Electronic Arts.Soon after starting to develop their first game, Wang and Lewis tactfully told De Margheriti that his true strength was not programming but managing and winning new projects for the fledgling group. This “truth” ultimately saw De Margheriti become the entrepreneur and visionary for a group of profit and not for profit companies that have offices around the globe.In addition to the Americas Cup Sailing Simulation, De Margheriti went on to program two other of games for Electronic Arts including Demon Stalkers and Fireking for the Commodore 64 and IBM PC, which was later released by Sydney-based Strategic Studies Group. http://www.ssg.com.au/Later careerMicro Forte Pty LimitedBetween 1985 and 1988, De Margheriti turned his focus towards business negotiations and contract development. He co-founded a games development company called Micro Forté Pty Limited and wrote games for a new company called Electronic Arts.In 1995 De Margheriti came up with the concept of developing a software solution that would somehow group bulletin board "} +{"doc_id":"doc_284","qid":"","text":"Passage 1:Pieces of a WomanPieces of a Woman is a 2020 drama film directed by Kornél Mundruczó, from a screenplay by Kata Wéber. The film stars VanessaKirby, Shia LaBeouf, Molly Parker, Sarah Snook, Iliza Shlesinger, Benny Safdie, Jimmie Fails, and Ellen Burstyn as the family and associates of Martha (Kirby)involved in her traumatic childbirth, baby loss, and a subsequent court case against the midwife, Eva (Parker), whom Martha's mother Elizabeth (Burstyn) blamesfor the baby's death. Martin Scorsese and Sam Levinson served as executive producers, and the film was scored by Howard Shore.An international co-productionof the United States and Canada, the film is partly based on Mundruczó and Wéber's stage play of the same name and explores themes of grief and loss. Itpremiered on September 4, 2020, at the 77th Venice International Film Festival, where Kirby won the Volpi Cup for Best Actress. It was released in selecttheaters on December 30, 2020, before beginning to digitally stream on Netflix on January 7, 2021, and became noted for its long take childbirth scene at thestart of the film.The film received generally positive reviews, with praise for the actors, particularly Kirby, though elements of the plot were criticized. For herperformance, Kirby received Academy Award, BAFTA, SAG, Critics' Choice, and Golden Globe nominations.PlotMartha and Sean, a young Boston couple, areexpecting their first child. Sean resents Martha's mother Elizabeth, a wealthy Holocaust survivor, who is buying them a minivan.Martha goes into labor at theirhome and Sean calls their midwife Barbara, who is unavailable and sends another midwife named Eva in her place. Martha struggles with nausea and pain duringcontractions and, when she reaches ten centimeters, Eva realizes the baby's heart rate has dropped dangerously low. Sean asks Eva if they are safe to continueand Eva tells Sean to call an ambulance. Martha soon gives birth to a baby girl who at first seems healthy. Eva then notices the baby is turning blue and attemptsto revive her, but she goes into cardiac arrest and dies.The following month, Martha and Sean attend an appointment with a coroner; Sean is eager to find outwhat went wrong, while Martha is reluctant. They learn the cause of death has not yet been established but are told they were able to determine that the babywas in a low-oxygen environment and start proceedings against Eva. Sean leaves, overcome with emotion, while Martha remains and decides that she wants todonate the baby's body to science.The relationship between Martha and Sean continues to be strained, as is Martha's relationship with her mother, who wants tobury the baby and have a funeral. Both Martha and Sean remain deeply depressed. Sean returns the car that Elizabeth bought for them. He later has sex withMartha's cousin, Suzanne, and uses cocaine after being sober for almost seven years. Suzanne, who is also the attorney prosecuting Eva, informs him that apotential lawsuit against Eva could be very lucrative.At a tense family gathering at her home, Elizabeth tells Martha that she has to attend Eva's trial and blamesMartha for her baby's death because she decided to have a home birth. Elizabeth then tells Sean that she never liked him before offering him a check for a largesum of money to leave and never return. Martha drops Sean off at Logan International Airport and he leaves for Seattle.Months later, Martha testifies at Eva'strial. After her testimony, the judge allows her to address the court, and she states that Eva is not at fault for the death and that she does not blame her. Backhome, she discovers that the apple seeds she stored in her refrigerator have started to sprout. A month later, Martha scatters her daughter's ashes into the riverfrom the bridge that Sean helped to build.Years later, a little girl climbs an apple tree, picks an apple, and eats it. Martha calls her name, Lucianna, then helps herdown. The two go inside together.CastProductionPlayThe play Pieces of a Woman was created by Kornél Mundruczó and Kata Wéber, a couple who experiencedmiscarriage during pregnancy. The couple did not initially talk about their experience or process their grief, but Mundruczó read a scene written in Wéber'snotebook depicting a woman and her mother debate child loss and felt that it needed exploration. Wéber, who had already titled the scene \"Pieces of a Woman\",became the playwright after Mundruczó encouraged her to make a \"family drama\" from the scene; the play was originally performed at TR Warszawa in Warsaw,Poland. Following (Polish) Maja, her senile mother, and her Norwegian husband, the play contained two scenes: the childbirth and a family dinner in theaftermath. For BroadwayWorld, Filip Piotrowicz wrote that the scenes being performed in real time with real props (including a working oven and food beingcooked inside) felt both like a film and classic theatrical form. The birth scene was multimedia, with the performance being recorded by a camera freely roamingthe stage and live-streamed on screens in the theater, and other screens showing ultrasound scans of the fetus.Development and themesThe film Pieces of aWoman was announced to be in production in October 2019, with Mundruczó directing from a screenplay by Wéber. It is based on their play, and alsoincorporates fictionalized aspects of the trial of Hungarian midwife Ágnes Geréb. Wéber consulted with psychiatrists and other women who had lost babies whilewriting the film. In developing the play for the screen, Mundruczó chose to set it in Boston, thinking the city's historic Irish Catholic culture was a good translationof the conservative Polish society of the original. It is his first film in the English language. Wéber submitted the script to the Hungarian National Film Fund but didnot get support; Aaron Ryder read the script and showed it to producers Ashley Levinson and Kevin Turen, who took it on. Sam Levinson and Martin Scorsese,among others, served as executive producers on the film; Scorsese, who was shown the film by composer Howard Shore prior to its release, boarded after thefilm was complete, hoping to help its distribution as Mundruczó and Wéber were unknown filmmakers. Supporting actress Ellen Burstyn, who was directed byScorsese in Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore, said that he \"picked up on things [about Pieces of a Woman] that [she] never heard anybody else pick up on. Andhe has such an appreciation of the art of moviemaking that you feel seen.\"The film explores themes of trauma, which Dr. Lipi Roy writing for Forbes foundrelevant during the COVID-19 pandemic when it was released; Mundruczó and lead actress Vanessa Kirby both also commented that the loss in the film can speakto people who have been bereaved in the pandemic, and Wéber spoke of the relevance of the isolation and inability to talk about feelings that Martha experiences.Kirby has described the film as \"almost a character study on grief\" that also explores intergenerational trauma. In the film, Martha's family are all physicallypresent but not emotionally available to her, and they each find different ways to process their loss, according to Roy. Midwives speaking with NOW also notedthat films exploring grief often do so by presenting it as a bonding experience, while Pieces of a Woman focused on the differences. Renaldo Matadeen of CBRcompared the film's exploration of grief to that of Marriage Story, though he felt that Pieces of a Woman did not explore the shared grief Martha and Seanexperience. Also for NOW, Kevin Ritchie noted that the film shifts focus on themes throughout, featuring class tensions at the start and, at the end, focusing ongenerational divides and present baggage of Holocaust survival. The New Yorker's Anthony Lane wrote that the film \"amounts to a set of variations on the themeof winter\", reflected in its little-changing Boston setting; similarly, Lee Marshall of Screen International opined that the wintry setting and its \"oppressive\" GothicRevival architecture helped to inform the themes of the film.CastingThe first person to be cast was Shia LaBeouf as Sean. He was followed shortly by VanessaKirby, playing Martha, who had been shown the script by Sam Levinson; she had met with the Levinsons and told them she wanted to make a film like A WomanUnder the Influence. Mundruczó was a fan of The Crown and wanted to cast Kirby after watching her as Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon and thinking herperformance resembled Claudia Cardinale and Catherine Deneuve. He also wanted to work with Kirby at this point in her career, \"Where all of the skills arealready there, but the fear is not [...] When you are very established, you are more and more careful.\" Though Kirby was considered a frontrunner in discussionsfor the role, the production had been turned down by bigger names before Kirby was shown the script; the day after she read it, she flew to Budapest and theyhad a two-hour meeting with Mundruczó. Asked about this, Kirby said that she \"just loved the script ... You just know when you know\".Kirby and LaBeouf wererevealed as the lead roles when the film was announced in October 2019. Kirby spoke with women who had experienced baby loss to prepare for her role, andprepared extensively for her performance of labor in the opening scene. She had not given birth herself and was concerned about realism; she first watchedchildbirth documentaries but felt these were too edited and so she wrote to obstetricians and was invited by one, Claire Mellon, to observe on a labor ward,including being allowed to witness a birth, which she told NPR she would not have been able to perform in the film without.In December 2019, Jimmie Fails, EllenBurstyn, Molly Parker and Iliza Shlesinger joined the cast of the film, followed by Sarah Snook and Benny Safdie in January 2020. Burstyn said getting cast in thefilm felt like \"a win-win-win situation\", as she was able to work with Mundruczó, whose White God Burstyn enjoyed, and Kirby, whose The Crown performanceBurstyn had been impressed by; Kirby was also excited to work with Burstyn.FilmingPrincipal photography began on December 3, 2019, in Montreal, Canada, andlasted until the end of January 2020.The film is noted for its 24-minute long take labor scene at the start, dubbed \"The Scene\" by The Guardian's Adrian Hortonand described as \"one of the most controversial scenes of the year\" by Entertainment Weekly. Writer Wéber did not anticipate a one-shot take, which Mundruczóplanned from the start, though knew she wanted all the details present. Mundruczó began the scene with Martha's first pains and ended with the arrival of anambulance \"because [they didn't] want to show exactly what's happening\", wanting to leave the audience having only seen the baby alive while creatingsuspense. As the director, Mundruczó wanted the actors to make their own performance choices in the scene; there were no marks to hit, LaBeouf came up withthe bad jokes used himself, and the production team would not show the cast any of the stage performance so as not to influence them. Kirby told Empire thatthe cast \"had a map of where to be, and then [they would] freefall and see what happened.\" Three crewmembers were used for the scene: director ofphotography Benjamin Loeb, acting as camera operator upon Mundruczó's request, and two boom operators.

He served as a delegate to the Malolos Congress and was the grandfather of Benigno S. \"Ninoy\" Aquino Jr. He is the great-grandfatherof Benigno Aquino III, the 15th President of the Philippines.Early life and educationAquino, known by his nickname \"Mianong\", was born on April 20, 1874, to DonBraulio Aquino y Lacsamana and Doña Petrona Aguilar y Henson. He had his early education from a private tutor in Mexico, Pampanga. He moved to Manila andentered the Colegio de San Juan de Letran, and later, the University of Santo Tomas.Philippine–American WarIn 1896, Aquino became a mason and joined theKatipunan. He was also elected mayor of Murcia, Tarlac and under General Francisco Macabulos, he organized the Filipino revolutionary forces against theAmericans. He was promoted to major but was defeated in the battle at Mount Sinukuan or Mount Arayat in Arayat, Pampanga. After the Pact of Biak-na-Batowas signed, Aquino was self-exiled to Hong Kong together with Emilio Aguinaldo and the revolutionary government after receiving 100,000 pesos from theSpanish government in exchange of their surrender. He returned to the Philippines in 1898 and joined General Antonio Luna to fight against the American forces.Together they attacked Manila but retreated to Mount Arayat.

He was a Duke of Czersk, Warsaw, Liw, Zakroczym and Nur during 1503-1524 (under regency until 1518) jointlywith his brother.He was the eldest son of Konrad III the Red and his third wife Anna, a daughter of Mikolaj Radziwiłł the Old, Voivod of Vilnius and the first GrandChancellor of Lithuania.LifeAfter the death of their father on 28 October 1503, Stanisław and his younger brother Janusz III inherited his domains but, becausethey were minors, remained under the regency of their mother.Most of the Masovian inheritance (except Czersk, which had already been given to Konrad III as ahereditary fief in 1495) was seriously threatened by the Kingdom of Poland at the time of Konrad III's death, and was not secured in his sons' hands until 14March 1504, when by a ruling of King Alexander, the young princes received their whole patrimony as a fief.Stanisław and his brother took the government in1518, because of the constant riots of the local nobility. Despite this, Anna Radziwiłł retained the real power in Masovia until her death in 1522. In the same yearwhen they attained their majority, both princes attended the wedding of King Sigismund I the Old to Bona Sforza in Kraków.In 1519, fulfilling their duties asPolish vassals, Stanisław and Janusz III intervened in the Polish-Teutonic War, sending auxiliary troops to the Polish King, and in the winter of 1519-1520 theypersonally captured several towns in Masuria. At the same time, Stanisław secretly entered into talks with the Teutonic Knights for a ceasefire, which finally tookplace in December 1520, a few months before a peace treaty ended the war between Poland and the Teutonic Order.In their private lives, both Stanisław and hisbrother were heavily inclined to drink and women; however, in order to continue his bloodline, in 1523 Stanisław started negotiations for marriage with PrincessHedwig of Poland, only surviving daughter of King Sigismund I and his first wife, Barbara Zápolya. The wedding never took place; one year later, and likely as aresult of his dissolute lifestyle, Stanisław died on 8 August 1524. He was buried at St. John's Archcathedral, Warsaw.The sudden death of Stanisław, and that twoyears later of his younger brother Janusz III, were considered suspicious at the time. The main suspect was a Płock lady called Katarzyna Radziejowska, who afterbeing seduced and abandoned by both princes, was believed to have poisoned firstly Anna Radziwiłł, then Stanisław and finally Janusz III in revenge. Declaredguilty, she and her supposed accomplice were tied naked to poles and beaten for hours, and finally burned alive. The hurry where the sentence was carried raisedeven more suspicion that in fact the real instigator of the crimes was Queen Bona. The controversy was so intense that King Sigismund I, in order to clarify thematter once and for all, ordered an investigation, as a result of which a special edict was declared on 9 February 1528 which ruled that the princes \"weren'tvictims of a human hand, but was the will of the Almighty Lord that caused their deaths\".According to Jan Długosz, the real cause of the death of both princescould be an inherited disease of the Masovian princes: tuberculosis.Passage 3:Konrad V KantnerKonrad V Kantner (ca. 1385 – 10 September 1439) was a duke ofOleśnica, Koźle, half of Bytom and half of Ścinawa during 1412–1427 (with his brothers as co-rulers), since 1427 sole ruler over Oleśnica.He was the second sonof Konrad III the Old, Duke of Oleśnica, by his wife Judith. Like his one older and three younger brothers, at the baptism he received the name of Konrad, whichwas characteristic in this branch of the House of Piast. His nickname of Kantner was derived from the town of Kanth (pl: Kąty Wrocławskie), who was a propertyof the Oleśnica dukes since 1379.LifeAfter the death of his father in 1412, Konrad V succeeded him in all his lands together with his older brother Konrad IV theOlder as co-rulers, due to the minority of their younger brothers.In 1416, when all Konrad III's sons attained his majority, Konrad IV renounced to thegovernment on behalf of Konrad V and the rest of his brothers. However, because two other brothers (Konrad VI the Dean and Konrad VIII the Younger), alsopursued a Church career, the main beneficiaries in the government are two others laic brothers: Konrad V and Konrad VII the White, who in 1431 co-founded inKoźle a Minorites Cloister. In 1434 they purchased the town of Wołczyn to Duke Louis II of Brieg. The co-rulership was maintained until 1427, when was made thedivision of the Duchy: Konrad V retained the main city of Oleśnica.Like his brothers, Konrad V fought against the Hussites. In 1428 they tried unsuccessfully toprevent their depredations in the Duchy of Troppau. On 4 April 1431 they raided Gliwice, which was occupied by the Hussites and where just held religiousdiscussions in which the Lithuanian prince Sigismund Korybut, a nephew of Vytautas, was involved. Presumably, therefore, undertook the Hussites in 1432 a raidinto the Duchy of Oleśnica, which was largely spared from them until then. Konrad V and his brothers, however, managed to defeat them at Ścinawa. Togetherwith his brother Konrad IV, other Piast Dukes and the cities of Wrocław, Świdnica and Nysa was notarized on 13 September 1432 for the Hussites the stilloccupied cities of Niemcza, Kluczbork and Otmuchów the amount of 10,000 groschen for damages.Their fight against the Hussites was rewarded by EmperorSigismund, who, in his capacity as King of Bohemia, in 1434 transfer to them the districts of Psie Pole and Psary. Three years later, in 1437 he confirmed to themthe complete investiture of this territories by Escheat, so that upon the death of the childless Konrad VII they could reverted to the Kingdom. Two years later,Konrad V died of the plague. The guardianship of his minor sons was taken by his brother Konrad VII.Marriage and issueBy 9 October 1411, Konrad V marriedMargareta (d. 15 March 1449), whose origins are unknown. They had five children:Agnes (b. aft. 1411 – d. Herbst, September 1448), married in 1437 to Kaspar ISchlik, Count of Passaun-Weisskirchen and Imperial Chancellor.Konrad IX the Black (b. ca. 1415 – d. 14 August 1471).Konrad X the White (b. 1420 – d. 21September 1492).Anna (b. ca. 1425? – d. aft. 15 August 1482), married by 1444 to Duke Władysław I of Płock.Margareta (b. by 1430 – d. 10 May 1466), Abbessof Trebnitz (1456).In his will, Konrad V leave the town of Wołów to his wife as her dower, who was ruled by her until her own death. His sons were excluded fromthe government by their uncle Konrad VII, who maintained his rule until 1450, when they finally deposed him and assumed the full control over theDuchy.Passage 4:Konrad IV the OlderKonrad IV the Elder (Polish: Konrad IV Starszy, German: Konrad von Oels) (c. 1384 – 9 August 1447) served as the Duke ofOels (Oleśnica), Koźle, half of Bytom, and half of Ścinawa from 1412 to 1416, sharing the rule with his brothers. After 1416, he became the sole ruler over Kąty,Bierutów, Prudnik, and Syców. In 1417, he assumed the role of Bishop of Wrocław and also held the title of Duke of Nysa.Born to Konrad III the Old, Duke ofOleśnica, and his wife Judith, Konrad IV the Elder was the eldest among his siblings. It is worth noting that his four younger brothers also shared the nameKonrad; however, historians primarily distinguish them through letters and regnal numbers.LifeChurch careerKonrad IV, despite being the oldest son and having astrong potential to inherit his father's duchy, made the decision to pursue a religious vocation. He quickly advanced within the church hierarchy and by the end of1399, he assumed the role of cleric in Wrocław. Within a year, he was elected as the canon of Wrocław and the provost of Domasław/Domslau, although he didnot succeed in this position. Nevertheless, this setback did not deter him, and in 1410 he was ultimately chosen as the canon of Wrocław. From 1411 to 1417, heheld the office of provost of the chapter. During this time, Konrad IV devoted himself entirely to his candidacy for the position of Bishop of Warmia, concentratingall his efforts towards this goal. He embarked on a lengthy journey to Rome in pursuit of this appointment, although the endeavor proved unsuccessful.Nonetheless, as compensation, he was awarded a master's degree and appointed as a papal notary. In 1412, he also assumed the role of Canon ofOlomouc.Following the resignation of Duke Wenceslaus II of Legnica, the Bishop of Wrocław, on 17 December 1417, Pope Martin V appointed Konrad IV as thenew Bishop of Wrocław. He received his ordination as bishop on 22 January 1418 from John Tylemann, a suffragent of the Kolegiata of St. Nicholas inOtmuchów.Beginning of his involvement in politicsKonrad IV, in addition to his clerical duties, actively participated in politics during his time. In 1402, he joinedthe newly formed alliance of Silesian princes. In 1409, he supported his father alongside King Wenceslaus IV of Bohemia during the truce negotiations betweenPoland and the Teutonic Knights. In 1412, Konrad IV served as a mediator in conflicts involving the Dukes of Opole, King Wenceslaus IV, and the city of Wrocław."} +{"doc_id":"doc_286","qid":"","text":"Passage 1:Vadim VlasovVadim Nikolayevich Vlasov (Russian: Вадим Николаевич Власов; born 19 December 1980) is a former Russian football player.Vlasovplayed in the Russian Premier League with FC Lokomotiv Nizhny Novgorod.He is a younger brother of Dmitri Vlasov.Passage 2:Roshan Lal VermaRoshan LalVerma is an Indian politician and a member of the Seventeenth Legislative Assembly of Uttar Pradesh in India.

She \"was the widow of a Gettysburg Negro barber [Jacob Smith-died 1852], by whom she had two children.\" Her mother was a freemulatto woman of European and African descent, and her father was Irish.Career with StevensSeparated from her husband, Smith moved to Lancaster with hermother and sons in 1847 and accepted a position as housekeeper to prominent lawyer and abolitionist Thaddeus Stevens, who had moved from Gettysburg fiveyears earlier but practiced law and had business interests in several counties in the Susquehanna River basin. Stevens was elected to the U.S. House ofRepresentatives the following year, and Smith continued to keep the bachelor's house (including his house in Washington, D.C.) until Stevens died in 1868.Smithwas described as \"giving great attention to her appearance,\" and in later years she had her clothes made to resemble those of Mary Lincoln. Carl Sandburgdescribed Smith as \"a comely quadroon with Caucasian features and a skin of light-gold tint, a Roman Catholic communicant with Irish eyes ... quiet, discreet,retiring, reputed for poise and personal dignity.\"Smith had two sons, William and Isaac, by her late husband, Jacob Smith. She and Stevens also raised thelatter's nephews, whom he adopted in the 1840s. On April 2, 1861, Smith's older son, William Smith, fatally shot himself while handling a pistol at Stevens'shome, as his mother watched. William Smith was 26 years old and worked as a shoemaker in Lancaster. Her other son, Isaac Smith, a banjo player and barber,enlisted in the 6th United States Colored Infantry Regiment in 1863 and served in Virginia.No evidence exists as to the exact nature of the relationship betweenStevens and Smith. In the one brief surviving letter from Stevens to her, he addresses her as \"Mrs. Smith,\" unusual deference to an African-American servant inthat era. Family members also asked Stevens to be remembered to \"Mrs. Smith.\" Nonetheless, during her time with Stevens, neighbors considered her hiscommon-law wife. Smith not only handled social functions for the politician, she also mingled with Stevens's guests, who were instructed to address her as\"Madame\" or \"Mrs. Smith.\" Opposition newspapers (for Stevens's views concerning racial equality were quite controversial) claimed she was frequently called\"Mrs. Stevens\" by people who knew her.Smith was at Stevens's bedside when he died in Washington, D.C. on August 11, 1868, along with his friend SimonStevens and surviving nephew (Thaddeus Stevens Jr.), two African-American nuns, and several other people. Under Stevens's will, Smith was allowed to choosebetween a lump sum of $5,000 or a $500 annual allowance; she was also allowed to take any furniture in his house. With the inheritance, Smith purchasedStevens' house and the adjoining lot.BusinesswomanStevens and Smith were active in the Underground Railroad, which led to the burning of his ironworks,Caledonia Furnace, during the Civil War. Recent excavation of their house in Lancaster unearthed a cistern with a passageway to a nearby tavern, as well as aspittoon inside, which some historians think was used to shelter escaping slaves. Smith bought her house in Lancaster next to Stevens's house in 1860. Duringand after the Battle of Gettysburg in 1863, Smith hired a horse and wagon, and collected food and supplies for the wounded of both sides from neighbors inAdams, York and Lancaster counties and delivered them to the makeshift hospitals. After Stevens's death in 1868, in addition to buying his house in Lancaster,Smith operated a prosperous boarding house across from the Willard Hotel in Washington, D.C., as well as invested in real estate and other businessventures.Death and legacyLydia Hamilton Smith died in Washington on her 71st birthday in 1884 and, per her wishes, was buried in St. Mary's Catholic cemeteryin Lancaster, although she also left money for the continued upkeep of Stevens's grave at the Shreiner-Concord cemetery.In Steven Spielberg's 2012 film Lincoln,Smith was portrayed by actress S.

A former Union Army officer during American Civil War, he also took part in wars in Mexico,Italy, and the Ottoman Empire. He was primarily responsible for recruiting former Union and Confederate soldiers for service in the Egyptian Army, in which heheld the rank of major general, and was the first officer to take service with the Khedive Isma'il Pasha as his aide-de-camp in 1870. At the time of his death, hewas also the last surviving son of the eminent surgeon Valentine Mott.BiographyEarly life and military careerMott was born in New York City, New York, the son ofDr. Valentine Mott (1785–1865) and Louisa Dunmore Munn. He was one of nine children born to the couple. Little is known of his early life except that, as a child,he \"developed a spirit of adventure\". He was a natural linguist and was educated at New York University where his father was emeritus professor of surgery.Atage 17, he left the country to fight in revolutionary Italy, commissioned as a second lieutenant, serving under Giuseppe Garibaldi. Suffering from ill healthfollowing his Italian service, mostly due to exposure and privation, Mott subsequently served as a shipmate on various clipper ships during the next several years.He initially signed on to the Hornet bound for California, then as a third mate on the Hurricane in 1851, a second mate on the St. Denis in 1852 and the mate ofthe St. Nicholas in 1854. He returned to California a year later and spent 1856–57 in the Mexican Army under General Ignacio Comonfort prior to and during theReform War.

She was the younger daughter of Sun Quan, the founding emperor of Wu, and his concubine Bu Lianshi. She is also referred to as Princess Zhu (\u0000\u0000\u0000/\u0000\u0000) because of her marriage to Zhu Ju.LifeSun Luyu was the younger daughter of Sun Quan, the founding emperor of Eastern Wu, and his concubine Bu Lianshi. She had an elder sister, Sun Luban. The sisters' courtesy names, Xiaohu (\u0000\u0000) and Dahu (\u0000\u0000), respectively mean \"small tiger\" and \"big tiger\". Sun Luyu initially married Zhu Ju, a general who briefly served as the fifth Imperial Chancellor of Wu. She and Zhu Ju had a daughter, who married Sun Quan's sixth son, Sun Xiu, who was also a half-brother of Sun Luyu.In the 240s, a power struggle broke out between two of Sun Quan's sons – Sun He, the Crown Prince and Sun Ba, the Prince of Lu – with both of them fighting over the position of Crown Prince. The power struggle had a polarising effect on Sun Quan's subjects; two opposing factions, each supporting either Sun He or Sun Ba, emerged from among them. During this time, Sun Luyu's husband Zhu Ju supported Sun He, while Sun Luyu's sister Sun Luban and her husband Quan Cong sided with Sun Ba. When Sun Luban tried to get Sun Luyu to support Sun Ba, Sun Luyu refused and became estranged from her sister as a result.In 250, the power struggle came to an end when Sun Quan forced Sun Ba to commit suicide and deposed Sun He from his position as Crown Prince. Many of the officials involved in the power struggle were executed, exiled or removed from office. Sun Luyu's husband, Zhu Ju, was demoted and reassigned to a new post in Xindu Commandery (\u0000\u0000\u0000; around present-day Chun'an County, Zhejiang). While Zhu Ju was en route to Xindu Commandery, Sun Hong (\u0000\u0000), one of Sun Ba's supporters, took advantage of Sun Quan's poor health to issue a fake imperial decree ordering Zhu Ju to commit suicide. Zhu Ju thought that the decree was genuine so he killed himself as ordered. The general Liu Zuan (\u0000\u0000) had previously married Sun Quan's second daughter (a half-sister of Sun Luban and Sun Luyu), but she died early, so Sun Quan arranged for him to marry the widowed Sun Luyu.In August or September 255 during Sun Liang's reign, Sun Yi (\u0000\u0000) and others plotted to overthrow the regent Sun Jun, but were discovered and executed before they could carry out their plan. Sun Luban, who had a secret affair with Sun Jun after her husband Quan Cong died in 249, seized the opportunity to falsely accuse her estranged sister Sun Luyu of being involved in the plot. Sun Jun believed Sun Luban and had Sun Luyu arrested and executed. She was buried at Shizigang (\u0000\u0000\u0000; literally \"stones hill\"), a hill in present-day Yuhuatai District, Nanjing, Jiangsu.Postmortem eventsAfter Sun Jun died in 256, his cousin Sun Chen succeeded him as the regent for the Wu emperor Sun Liang. Sometime between 256 and 258, Sun Liang suspected that Sun Luban had something to do with Sun Luyu's death, so he summoned his half-sister and questioned her. A fearful Sun Luban lied to him, \"I really don't know. I heard it from Zhu Ju's sons, Zhu Xiong (\u0000\u0000) and Zhu Sun (\u0000\u0000).\" Sun Liang thought that Zhu Xiong and Zhu Sun betrayed Sun Luyu to Sun Jun – especially since Zhu Sun married Sun Jun's younger sister – so he ordered Ding Feng to execute Zhu Xiong and Zhu Sun.In 258, Sun Chen deposed Sun Liang and replaced him with Sun Xiu, Sun Quan's sixth son, as the third emperor of Wu. Sun Xiu's wife, Lady Zhu, was the daughter of Zhu Ju and Sun Luyu. On 18 January 259, Sun Xiu staged a coup d'état against the regent Sun Chen, succeeded in ousting him from power, and ordered Sun Chen and his entire family to be executed. Sun Xiu also had Sun Jun's dead body unearthed and stripped of the honours accorded to him, and posthumously rehabilitated the people who were executed during Sun Jun and Sun Chen's regencies. Sun Luyu was one of them.Sometime between 6 November and 5 December 264, Sun Hao, the fourth emperor of Wu, ordered Sun Luyu's remains to be unearthed and reburied with honours befitting her status as a princess. The Soushen Ji recorded an account as follows: [Sun Hao] wanted to have [Sun Luyu]'s remains unearthed and properly reburied, but the graves all looked the same and he could not tell which was hers. Some palace servants claimed they could remember the clothes she wore when she died, so [Sun Hao] ordered two shamans to separately summon her spirit and observe closely. After some time, the shamans saw a woman in her 30s dressed in purple and white, wearing a blue patterned headpiece and red silk shoes. She walked up the hill to the middle, placed her hands on her knees and sighed, and stopped there for a while before walking towards a grave. She wandered around the grave and disappeared suddenly. The descriptions given separately by the two shamans were very similar. When her coffin was opened, they saw that her appearance was exactly as described.See alsoLists of people of the Three KingdomsEastern Wu family trees#Sun QuanNotesPassage 2:Abd al-MuttalibShaiba ibn Hāshim (Arabic: \u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000 \u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000 \u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000; c. 497–578), better known as \u0000Abd al-Mu\u0000\u0000alib, (Arabic: \u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000 \u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000, lit. 'Servant of Muttalib') was the fourth chief of the Quraysh tribal confederation. He was the grandfather of the Islamic prophet Muhammad.Early lifeHis father was Hashim ibn 'Abd Manaf,: 81 the progenitor of the distinguished Banu Hashim, a clan of the Quraysh tribe of Mecca. They claimed descent from Ismā'īl and Ibrāhīm. His mother was Salma bint Amr, from the Banu Najjar, a clan of the Khazraj tribe in Yathrib (later called Madinah). Hashim died while doing business in Gaza, before Abd al-Muttalib was born.: 81 His real name was \"Shaiba\" meaning 'the ancient one' or 'white-haired' because of the streak of white through his jet-black hair, and is sometimes also called Shaybah al-\u0000amd (\"The white streak of praise\").: 81–82 After his father's death he was raised in Yathrib with his mother and her family until about the age of eight, when his uncle Muttalib ibn Abd Manaf went to see him and asked his mother Salmah to entrust Shaybah to his care. Salmah was unwilling to let her son go and Shaiba refused to leave his mother without her consent. Mu\u0000\u0000alib then pointed out that the possibilities Yathrib had to offer were incomparable to Mecca. Salmah was impressed with his arguments, so she agreed to let him go. Upon first arriving in Mecca, the people assumed the unknown child was Muttalib's servant and started calling him 'Abd al-Muttalib (\"servant of Muttalib\").: 85–86Chieftain of Hashim clanWhen Mu\u0000\u0000alib died, Shaiba succeeded him as the chief of the Hāshim clan. Following his uncle Al-Mu\u0000\u0000alib, he took over the duties of providing the pilgrims with food and water, and carried on the practices of his forefathers with his people. He attained such eminence as none of his forefathers enjoyed; his people loved him and his reputation was great among them.: 61 'Umar ibn Al-Kha\u0000\u0000āb's grandfather Nufayl ibn Abdul Uzza arbitrated in a dispute between 'Abdul-Mu\u0000\u0000alib and \u0000arb ibn Umayyah, Abu Sufyan's father, over the custodianship of the Kaaba. Nufayl gave his verdict in favour of 'Abdul-Mu\u0000\u0000alib. Addressing \u0000arb ibn Umayyah, he said:Why do you pick a quarrel with a person who is taller than you in stature; more imposing than you in appearance; more refined than you in intellect; whose progeny outnumbers yours and whose generosity outshines yours in lustre? Do not, however, construe this into any disparagement of your good qualities which I highly appreciate. You are as gentle as a lamb, you are renowned throughout Arabia for the stentorian tones of your voice, and you are an asset to your tribe.Discovery of Zam Zam Well'Abdul-Mu\u0000\u0000alib said that while sleeping in the sacred enclosure, he had dreamed he was ordered to dig at the worship place of the Quraysh between the two deities Isāf and Nā'ila. There he would find the Zamzam Well, which the Jurhum tribe had filled in when they left Mecca. The Quraysh tried to stop him digging in that spot, but his son Al-\u0000ārith stood guard until they gave up their protests. After three days of digging, 'Abdul-Mu\u0000\u0000alib found traces of an ancient religious well and exclaimed, \"Allahuakbar!\" Some of the Quraysh disputed his claim to sole rights over water, then one of them suggested that they go to a female shaman who lived afar. It was said that she could summon jinns and that she could help them decide who was the owner of the well. So, 11 people from the 11 tribes went on the expedition. They had to cross the desert to meet the priestess but then they got lost. There was a lack of food and water and people started to lose hope of ever getting out. One of them suggested that they dig their own graves and if they died, the last person standing would bury the others. So all began digging their own graves and just as Abdul-Mu\u0000\u0000alib started digging, water spewed out from the hole he dug and everyone became overjoyed. It was then and there decided that Abdul-Muttalib was the owner of the Zam Zam well. Thereafter he supplied pilgrims to the Kaaba with Zam Zam water, which soon eclipsed all the other wells in Mecca because it was considered sacred.: 86–89 : 62–65The Year of the ElephantAccording to Muslim tradition, the Ethiopian governor of Yemen, Abrahah al-Ashram, envied the Kaaba's reverence among the Arabs and, being a Christian, he built a cathedral on Sana'a and ordered pilgrimage be made there.: 21 The order was ignored and someone desecrated (some saying in the form of defecation: 696 note 35 ) the cathedral. Abrahah decided to avenge this act by demolishing the Kaaba and he advanced with an army towards Mecca.: 22–23 There were thirteen elephants in Abrahah's army: 99 : 26 and the year came to be known as 'Ām al-Fīl (the Year of the Elephant), beginning a trend for reckoning the years in Arabia which was used until 'Umar ibn Al-Kha\u0000\u0000āb replaced it with the Islamic Calendar in 638 CE (17 AH), with the first year of the Islamic Calendar being 622 CE.When news of the advance of Abrahah's army came, the Arab tribes of Quraysh, Kinānah, Khuzā'ah and Hudhayl united in defence of the Kaaba. A man from the \u0000imyar tribe was sent by Abrahah to advise them that he only wished to demolish the Kaaba and if they resisted, they would be crushed. \"Abdul-Mu\u0000\u0000alib told the Meccans to seek refuge in the nearest high hills while he, with some leading members of Quraysh, remained within the precincts of the Kaaba. Abrahah sent a dispatch inviting 'Abdul-Mu\u0000\u0000alib to meet him and discuss matters. When 'Abdul-Mu\u0000\u0000alib left the meeting he was heard saying, \"The Owner of this House is its Defender, and I am sure He will save it from the attack of the adversaries and will not dishonour the servants of His House.\": 24–26 It is recorded that when Abrahah's forces neared the Kaaba, Allah commanded small birds (abābīl) to destroy Abrahah's army, raining down pebbles on it from their beaks.

Eventually, though, Knievel relents and agrees.Asubplot develops when Will's estranged son Tommy shows up from boarding school, and asks to join the tour. Will, who is reminded of his dead wife, is cold toTommy, leaving Knievel to show the boy kindness. Likewise, Kate reappears, apologetic for her previous motives, and now wishes that he will never stopjumping.Meanwhile, Jessie's benefactor is revealed: drug lord Stanley Millard (Leslie Nielsen). Millard (without Jessie's knowledge) plans to cause a fatal accidentduring the jump. He will then have Knievel's body transported back to America in an exact duplicate of the tour trailer, but one that has a massive supply of drugshidden in the walls.Will, however, stumbles onto the plot, is drugged, and sent to a psychiatric ward under the control of the corrupt Ralph Thompson (DabneyColeman) to prevent him from spilling the beans. Evel sneaks into the ward late at night when Will has dried out, but all Will can remember is that someoneknocked him out.

He was an innovative composer of instrumental music as well as songs, and was the composer of the earliest surviving music for the guitar.BiographyThe place of his birth is not recorded, but he grew up in Guadalajara, and probably received his musical training there. He most likely went to Italy in 1529 with Charles V, in the company of the fourth Duke of the Infantado, Íñigo López de Mendoza, marqués de Santillana. When he returned to Spain he became a priest, receiving the post of canon at the cathedral in Seville in 1546, where he remained for the rest of his life. While at the cathedral, he directed all of the musical activities; many records remain of his musical activities there, which included hiring instrumentalists, buying and assembling a new organ, and working closely with composer Francisco Guerrero for various festivities. Mudarra died in Seville, and his sizable fortune was distributed to the poor of the city according to his will.Mudarra wrote numerous pieces for the vihuela and the four-course guitar, all contained in the collection Tres libros de musica en cifras para vihuela (\"Three books of music in numbers for vihuela\"), which he published on December 7, 1546 in Seville. These three books contain the first music ever published for the four-course guitar, which was then a relatively new instrument. The second book is noteworthy in that it contains eight multi-movement works, all arranged by \"tono\", or mode.Compositions represented in this publication include fantasias, variations (including a set on La Folia), tientos, pavanes and galliards, and songs. Modern listeners are probably most familiar with his Fantasia X, which has been a concert and recording mainstay for many years. The songs are in Latin, Spanish and Italian, and include romances, canciones (songs), villancicos, (popular songs) and sonetos (sonnets). Another innovation was the use of different signs for different tempos: slow, medium, and fast.References and further readingJohn Griffiths: \"Alonso Mudarra\", Grove Music Online ed. L.

He is best known as the composer of the theme music for the original Star Trek series.Early lifeCourage was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He received a music degree from the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, New York, in 1941. He served in the United States Army Air Forces in the western United States during the Second World War. During that period, he also found the time to compose music for the radio. His credits in this medium include the programs Adventures of Sam Spade Detective, Broadway Is My Beat, Hollywood Soundstage, and Romance.CareerCourage began as an orchestrator and arranger at MGM studios, which included work in such films as the 1951 Show Boat (\"Life Upon the Wicked Stage\" number); Hot Rod Rumble (1957 film); The Band Wagon (\"I Guess I'll Have to Change My Plan\"); Gigi (the can-can for the entrance of patrons at Maxim's); and the barn raising dance from Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.He frequently served as an orchestrator on films scored by André Previn (My Fair Lady, \"The Circus is a Wacky World\", and \"You're Gonna Hear from Me\" production numbers for Inside Daisy Clover), Adolph Deutsch (Funny Face, Some Like It Hot), John Williams (The Poseidon Adventure, Superman, Jurassic Park, and the Academy Award-nominated musical films Fiddler on the Roof and Tom Sawyer), and Jerry Goldsmith (Rudy, Mulan, The Mummy, et al.). He also arranged the Leslie Bricusse score (along with Lionel Newman) for Doctor Dolittle (1967).Apart from his work as a respected orchestrator, Courage also contributed original dramatic scores to films, including two westerns: Arthur Penn's The Left Handed Gun (1958) and André de Toth's Day of the Outlaw (1959), and the Connie Francis comedy Follow the Boys (1963). He continued writing music for movies throughout the 1980s and 1990s, including the score for Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987), which incorporated three new musical themes by John Williams in addition to Courage's adapted and original cues for the film. Courage's score for Superman IV: The Quest for Peace was released on CD in early 2008 by the Film Music Monthly company as part of its boxed set Superman - The Music, while La-La Land Records released a fully expanded restoration of the score on May 8, 2018, as part of Superman's 80th anniversary.Courage also worked as a composer on such television shows as Daniel Boone, The Brothers Brannagan, Lost in Space, Eight Is Enough, and Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. Judd, for the Defense, Young Dr. Kildare and The Brothers Brannagan were the only television series besides Star Trek for which he composed the main theme.The composer Jerry Goldsmith and Courage teamed on the long-running television show The Waltons in which Goldsmith composed the theme and Courage the Aaron Copland-influenced incidental music. In 1988, Courage won an Emmy Award for his music direction on the special Julie Andrews: The Sound of Christmas. In the 1990s, Courage succeeded Arthur Morton as Goldsmith's primary orchestrator.Courage and Goldsmith collaborated again on orchestrations for Goldsmith's score for the 1997 film \"The Edge.\"Courage frequently collaborated with John Williams during the latter's tenure with the Boston Pops Orchestra.FamilyAt the age of 35, Courage married Mareile Beate Odlum on October 6, 1955.Mareile, born in Germany, was the daughter of Rudolf Wolff and Elisabeth Loechelt. After Wolff's suicide Elisabeth married Carl Wilhelm Richard Hülsenbeck, renowned for his involvement in the Dada movement in Europe. Hülsenbeck brought his wife (Elisabeth), son (Tom) and step-daughter (Mareile) to the United States in 1938 to avoid the political situation rapidly developing in Europe. After arriving in the US he changed his last name to Hulbeck.Mareile's marriage to Courage was her third. Her second marriage was to Bruce Odlum (son of financier Floyd Odlum) in 1944. That union produced two sons, Christopher (1947) and Brian (1949). When Courage married Mareile he accepted the responsibility of acting stepfather to them. The family originally lived together on Erskine Dr. in Pacific Palisades, but later moved to a mountainside home on Beverly Crest Drive in Beverly Hills.Aside from his musical abilities Courage was also an avid and accomplished photographer. He took many dramatic photos of bullfights and auto racing. He was a racing enthusiast, and his interest in that sport and photography brought him into contact with many racing personalities of the era, notably Phil Hill and Stirling Moss, both of whom he considered friends. Moss paid at least one social visit to the Erskine residence.Though a dedicated stepfather to Christopher and Brian, Courage's musical career took precedence over his familial responsibilities. He sought to interest his step-children in music, and was responsible for arranging Brian's first musical lessons, on alto saxophone. Later in life Brian became a composer of serious electronic music, though the vocation was not apparent during his childhood, as he was a poor saxophone student.Alexander and Mareile were divorced April 1, 1963. Courage subsequently married Kristin M. Zethren on July 14, 1967. That marriage also ended in divorce in 1972.Star Trek themeCourage is best known for writing the theme music for the original Star Trek series, and other music for that series. Courage was hired by Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry to score the original series at Jerry Goldsmith's suggestion, after Goldsmith turned down the job. Courage went on to score incidental music for episodes \"The Man Trap\" and \"The Naked Time\" and some cues for \"Mudd's Women.\"Courage reportedly became alienated from Roddenberry when Roddenberry claimed half of the theme music royalties. Roddenberry wrote words for Courage's theme, not because he expected the lyrics to be sung on television, but so that he (Roddenberry) could receive "} +{"doc_id":"doc_293","qid":"","text":"Passage 1:Eleanor of Aragon, Countess of ToulouseEleanor of Aragon, Countess of Toulouse (1182–1226) was a daughter of King Alfonso II of Aragon and Sanchaof Castile.She married Raymond VI, Count of Toulouse.LifeAccording to the Ex Gestis Comitum Barcinonensium, she was the second daughter and fourth of ninechildren of the troubadour king, Alfonso II of Aragon and his wife Sancha of Castile. She had for older brothers Pierre II the Catholic and Alphonse II, Count ofProvence and Forcalquier, and for sisters Constance, first queen of Hungary, then empress by her marriage with Frederick II, and Sancie, countess ofToulouse.According to the Crónica of San Juan de la Peña, her brother Peter II sealed the union of Eleanor, with Raymond VI of Toulouse, Duke of Narbonne andMarquis of Provence, in order to put an end to the dissensions with the counts of Toulouse.Raymond VI was the eldest son of Raymond V and Constance ofFrance, daughter of King Louis VI and Adelaide de Maurienne. Eleanor was Raymond VI's 6th wife, having divorced an unknown daughter and sole heiress ofEmperor Isaac Komnenos of Cyprus just two years earlier. Raymond and Eleanor did not have children.By this marriage she became countess of Toulouse whichwould suffer the pangs of the war and the Albigensian Crusade, in the following years. The crusade was initiated by Pope Innocent III and headed by the FrenchCrown against Toulouse and Catharism.Passage 2:Maria of Aragon, Queen of CastileMaria of Aragon ((1403-02-24)24 February 1403 – (1445-02-18)18 February1445) was the Queen of Castile as the first wife of King John II from their marriage in 1420 until her death in 1445. She was the daughter of Ferdinand I ofAragon and Eleanor of Alburquerque.LifeMaria was married by her brother in his ambition to place his father's issue on the thrones of Castile and Aragon. Themarriage took place in simplicity. Maria was occasionally politically active on behalf of her brothers, the princes of Aragon; she disregarded her husband's policy infavor of her brothers and the relationship between Maria and John was somewhat tense.After her death on 18 February 1445, her husband married Isabella ofPortugal and they became the parents of Isabella I of Castile. Maria has no descendants today, her line having gone extinct within a few decades of herdeath.ChildrenMaria and John II of Castile had four children:Catherine, Princess of Asturias ((1422-10-05)5 October 1422–(1424-09-17)17 September1424).Eleanor, Princess of Asturias ((1423-09-10)10 September 1423–(1425-08-22)22 August 1425).Henry IV of Castile ((1425-01-05)5 January1425–(1474-12-11)11 December 1474).

She was married to Ferdinand I, the Count of Castile who laterbecame King of León after having killed Sancha's brother in battle. She and her husband commissioned the Crucifix of Ferdinand and Sancha.LifeSancha was adaughter of Alfonso V of León by his first wife, Elvira Menéndez. She became a secular abbess of the Monastery of San Pelayo.In 1029, a political marriage wasarranged between her and count García Sánchez of Castile. However, having traveled to León for the marriage, García was assassinated by a group of disgruntledvassals. In 1032, Sancha was married to García's nephew and successor, Ferdinand I of Castile, when the latter was 11 years old.At the Battle of Tamarón in1037 Ferdinand killed Sancha's brother Bermudo III of León, making Sancha the heir and allowing Ferdinand to have himself crowned King of León. Sancha's ownposition as queen of León is unclear and contradictory. She succeeded to the throne of León as the heir of her brother and in her \"own right\" but despite this, sheis not clearly referred to as queen regnant, and after the death of her husband the throne passed to her son, despite the fact that she was still alive.FollowingFerdinand's death in 1065 and the division of her husband's kingdom, she is said to have played the futile role of peacemaker among her sons.She was a devoutCatholic, who, with her husband, commissioned the crucifix that bears their name as a gift for the Basilica of San Isidoro.ChildrenSancha had five children:Urracaof ZamoraSancho II of León and CastileElvira of ToroAlfonso VI of León and CastileGarcía II of GaliciaDeath and burialShe died in the city of León on 8 November1067.

In 1177 she entered the county of Ribagorza and took forcible possessionof various castles and fortresses which had belonged to the crown there.After her husband died at Perpignan in 1196, Sancha was relegated to the background ofpolitical affairs by her son Peter II. She retired from court, withdrawing to the Hospitaller convent for noble ladies, the Monastery of Santa María de Sigena, atSigena, which she had founded. There she assumed the cross of the Order of St John of Jerusalem which she wore until the end of her life.

By the Peace of Alcalá of 31 March 1227, the nobles and the king came to terms. The couple had a son, Alfonso, who marriedConstance of Béarn. Eleanor's marriage to James was annulled in 1230, and the agreement prohibited her from remarrying. Their son, Alfonso, was declaredlegitimate, but he pre-deceased James.Monastic lifeEleanor became a nun after the annulment. She went to the Abbey of Santa María la Real de Las Huelgas tojoin her elder sister Berengaria who had retired from ruling Castile and Leon, and their other sister Constance, who was long a nun there.

She and her sister were slaves. She spent the rest of her life in Medina and had a son, Ibrahim with Muhammad. The son died as an infant and she died almost five years later.Al-Maqrizi says that she was a native of Hebenu (Coptic: \u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000, Koinē Greek: \u0000λάβαστρων πόλις Alábastrōn pólis, Arabic: \u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000, romanized: al-Khafn), a village located near Antinoöpolis.BiographyIn the Islamic year 6 AH (627 – 628 CE), Muhammad is said to have had letters written to the great rulers of the Middle East, proclaiming the continuation of the monotheistic faith with its final messages and inviting the rulers to join. The purported texts of some of the letters are found in Muhammad ibn Jarir al-Tabari's History of the Prophets and Kings. Tabari writes that a deputation was sent to an Egyptian governor named as al-Muqawqis. Maria was a slave who was offered as a gift of goodwill to Muhammad in reply to his envoys inviting the governor of Alexandria to Islam. Muhammad emancipated her after the birth of her son.Tabari recounts the story of Maria's arrival from Egypt:In this year Hātib b. Abi Balta'ah came back from al-Muqawqis bringing Māriyah and her sister Sīrīn, his female mule Duldul, his donkey Ya'fūr, and sets of garments. With the two women al-Muqawqis had sent a eunuch, and the latter stayed with them. Hātib had invited them to become Muslims before he arrived with them, and Māriyah and her sister did so. The Messenger of God, peace and blessings of Allah be upon Him, lodged them with Umm Sulaym bt. Milhān. Māriyah was beautiful. The prophet sent her sister Sīrīn to Hassān b. Thābit and she bore him 'Abd al-Rahmān b. Hassān.The death of Ibrahim caused Muhammad to weep.Status as a wife or concubineMuhammad's earliest biographers, like Ibn Ishaq, Ibn Sa’d, and al-Tabari, mentioned Mariyah as the Prophet’s slavegirl or concubine in their sirah.Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya is another scholar and biographer of prophet Muhammad who writes a sirah called Zad al-Ma'ad where he mentioned Mariyah as a slave girl.Like Rayhana bint Zayd, there is some debate between historians and scholars as to whether Mariyah ever became Muhammad's wife or remained a concubine. An indication that she was a concubine is that when she bore her son to Muhammad, she was set free.Ibn ‘Abbas said: When Maria gave birth to Ibrahim the Messenger of Allah (\u0000) said, ‘Her son has set her free.’ There is also strong evidence that there was no living quarter for her in the proximity of the Prophet's Mosque. Only the wives of Muhammad had their quarters adjacent to one another in the proximity of his mosque at Medina. Maria was made to reside permanently in an orchard, some three kilometers from the mosque. Evidence that suggests she was a concubine is in the narration:Anas said: The Messenger of Allah (\u0000) had a female-slave (amat) with whom he had intercourse, but ‘Aishah and Hafsah would not leave him alone until he said that she was forbidden for him. Then Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, revealed: “O Prophet! Why do you forbid (for yourself) that which Allah has allowed to you.’ until the end of the Verse.”The ‘female-slave’ referred to in this narration was Maria, the Copt, as specified in a hadith attributed to Umar and classified as sahih by Ibn Kathir, which names her Umm Ibrahim (the mother of Ibrahim).In a report from Ibn ‘Abbas and ‘Urwah b. al-Zubair concerning the same incident, Muhammad said to Hafsa:I make you witness that I my concubine (surriyyati) is now forbidden unto me.Some Islamic scholars point to a different Asbāb al-nuzūl (circumstance of revelation) for the above incident, saying it was only caused by Muhammad drinking honey, as narrated in Sahih al-Bukhari by Muhammed's wife Aisha:The Prophet (\u0000) used to stay (for a period) in the house of Zaynab bint Jahsh (one of the wives of the Prophet ) and he used to drink honey in her house. Hafsa bint Umar and I decided that when the Prophet (\u0000) entered upon either of us, she would say, \"I smell in you the bad smell of Maghafir (a bad smelling raisin). Have you eaten Maghafir?\" When he entered upon one of us, she said that to him. He replied (to her), \"No, but I have drunk honey in the house of Zaynab bint Jahsh, and I will never drink it again.\"However, another narration in Sunan Abu Dawud indicates that drinking honey is a euphemism for sexual intercourse:The Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) was asked about a man who divorced his wife three times, and she married another who entered upon her, but divorced her before having intercourse with her, whether she was lawful for the former husband. She said: The Prophet (peace be upon him) replied: She is not lawful for the first (husband) until she tastes the honey of the other husband and he tastes her honey.Al-Tabari lists Maria as both one of Muhammad's wives and his slave, perhaps using \"wife\" in the sense of one whom Muhammad slept with and who mothered his child.Mariyah the Copt was presented to the Messenger of God, given to him by al-Muqawqis, the ruler of Alexandria, and she gave birth to the Messenger of God’s son Ibrahim. These were the Messenger of God's wifes.The Prophet admired Umm Ibrahim [\"Mother of Ibrahim,\" Mariyah’s title], who was fair-skinned and beautiful. He lodged her in al-‘Aliyah, at the property nowadays called of Umm Ibrahim. He used to visit her there and ordered her to veil herself, [but] he had intercourse with her by virtue of her being his property...One hadith attributed to Mus‘ab b. ‘Abdullah al-Zubairi states that the two were married, though another rendering of the hadith by Mus‘ab's nephew Zubair b. al-Bakkar makes no mention of marriage.See alsoAisha bint Abu BakrList of non-Arab SahabaNotesPassage 4:Ibrahim ibn Muhammad Al ash-SheikhIbrahim ibn Muhammad Al ash-Sheikh was a leading Salafi scholar in Saudi Arabia and minister of justice between 1975 and 1990.BackgroundIbrahim ibn Muhammad Al ash-Sheikh was born into the noted family of Saudi religious scholars, the Al ash-Sheikh, descendants of Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab, the influential Muslim scholar. He was the eldest son of Muhammad ibn Ibrahim Al ash-Sheikh, Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia until 1969.CareerIbrahim ibn Muhammad was one of the most influential religious leaders in the early 1970s. He maintained a close relationship with King Faisal, with whom he met on a weekly basis. He believed that Saudi Arabia should take a leading role in the Arab world and pushed for Saudi involvement in war with Israel.Between 1975 and 1990, he served as minister of justice.FamilyHis brother Abdullah ibn Muhammad Al ash-Sheikh, a younger son of the late Grand Mufti, also served as minister of justice, from 1993 to 2009. His grandson Turki is a lawyer practicing in London and Riyadh.Passage 5:Abdullah ibn Muhammad\u0000Abd Allāh ibn Mu\u0000ammad (Arabic: \u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000 \u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000 \u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000 \u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000) also known as al-\u0000āhir (lit. 'the pure') and al-\u0000ayyib (lit. 'the good') was one of the sons of Muhammad and Khadija. He died in childhood.His full name was Abd Allah ibn Muhammad ibn Abd Allah ibn Shaiba. His father became a successful merchant and was involved in trade. Due to his upright character Muhammad acquired the nickname \"al-Amin\" (Arabic: \u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000), meaning \"faithful, trustworthy\" and \"al-Sadiq\" meaning \"truthful\" and was sought out as an impartial arbitrator. His reputation attracted a proposal in 595 from Khadija, a successful businesswoman. Muhammad consented to the marriage, which by all accounts was a happy one. After the marriage was consummated, his elder brother al-Qasim was born. Qasim was the eldest son of Muhammad and Khadija. After Qasim, his four sisters were born. Abd Allah was born around 611. He was the youngest child of Muhammad and Khadija.Muhammad gave him the name of his father. Abd Allah died at 4 in 615 CE.SiblingsQasim ibn MuhammadZainab bint MuhammadRuqayya bint MuhammadUmm Kulthum bint MuhammadFatima bint MuhammadIbrahim ibn MuhammadPassage 6:Ibrahim ibn MuhammadIbrāhīm ibn Mu\u0000ammad (Arabic: \u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000 \u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000 \u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000), was the son of the Islamic prophet Muhammad and Maria al-Qibtiyya. He died at the age of 2.Eclipse occurrenceIn his book \"Al-Bidāya wa-n-Nihāya\" Ibn Kathir mentions that Ibrahim died on Thursday 10 Rabi' al-Awwal 10 AH, and on the same day right after his death, an eclipse of the sun occurred, so people at the moment started talking that Allah is showing his condolences to his prophet by eclipsing the Sun. Muhammad, not wanting his companions to fall into Fitna by ascribing divinities to him or his son, stood at the mosque and said: \" The sun and the moon do not eclipse because of the death or life (i.e. birth) of someone. When you see the eclipse pray and invoke Allah.\"Illness and deathMuhammad's wife, and the mother of believers, Ibrahim's mother was an Egyptian woman who came from Byzantine official to Muhammad in 628. According to Ibn Kathir, quoting Ibn Sa'd, he was born in the last month of the year 8 AH, equivalent of 630 CE. Muslim scholars such as Muslim ibn al-Hajjaj and Al-Nasa'i mention that Al-Waqidi is not reliable and is not trustworthy to be quoted. The child was named after Abraham (or Ibrahim in Arabic) the Biblical prophet revered in Jewish, Christian and Muslim traditions. Ibrahim was placed in the care of a nurse called Umm Sayf, wife of Abu Sayf, the blacksmith, in the tradition of the Arabs of the time, to whom Muhammad gave some goats to complement her milk supply. When he fell ill he was moved to a date orchard near the residence of his mother, under the care of her and her sister Sirin. When it was clear that he would not likely survive, Muhammad was informed. His reaction to the news is reported as:He was so shocked at the news that he felt his knees could no longer carry him, and asked `Abd al Rahman ibn `Awf to give him his hand to lean upon. He proceeded immediately to the orchard and arrived in time to bid farewell to an infant dying in his mother's lap. Prophet Muhammad took the child and laid him in his own lap while shaking his hand. His heart was torn apart by the new tragedy, and his face mirrored his inner pain. Choking with sorrow, he said to his son, \"O Ibrahim, against the judgement of God, we cannot avail you a thing,\" and then fell silent. Tears flowed from his eyes.

He was the director of the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem for 17 months,resigning December 31, 2020. He was the director of the Toledo Museum of Art in Ohio from 2010 to 2019. He was the director of the Hood Museum of Art from2005 to 2010, and the National Gallery of Australia (Canberra) from 1997 to 2004.CareerBrian Kennedy currently lives and works in the United States afterleaving Australia in 2005 to direct the Hood Museum of Art at Dartmouth College. In October 2010 he became the ninth Director of the Toledo Museum of Art. On1 July 2019, he succeeded Dan Monroe as the executive director and CEO of the Peabody Essex Museum.Early life and career in IrelandKennedy was born inDublin and attended Clonkeen College. He received B.A. (1982), M.A. (1985) and PhD (1989) degrees from University College-Dublin, where he studied both arthistory and history.He worked in the Irish Department of Education (1982), the European Commission, Brussels (1983), and in Ireland at the Chester BeattyLibrary (1983–85), Government Publications Office (1985–86), and Department of Finance (1986–89). He married Mary Fiona Carlin in 1988.He was AssistantDirector at the National Gallery of Ireland in Dublin from 1989 to 1997. He was Chair of the Irish Association of Art Historians from 1996 to 1997, and of theCouncil of Australian Art Museum Directors from 2001 to 2003. In September 1997 he became Director of the National Gallery of Australia.National Gallery ofAustralia (NGA)Kennedy expanded the traveling exhibitions and loans program throughout Australia, arranged for several major shows of Australian art abroad,increased the number of exhibitions at the museum itself and oversaw the development of an extensive multi-media site. Although he oversaw several years ofthe museum's highest ever annual visitation, he discontinued the emphasis of his predecessor, Betty Churcher, on showing \"blockbuster\" exhibitions.During hisdirectorship, the NGA gained government support for improving the building and significant private donations and corporate sponsorship. However, the initialdesign for the building proved controversial generating a public dispute with the original architect on moral rights grounds. As a result, the project was notdelivered during Dr Kennedy's tenure, with a significantly altered design completed some years later. Private funding supported two acquisitions of British art,including David Hockney's A Bigger Grand Canyon in 1999, and Lucian Freud's After Cézanne in 2001. Kennedy built on the established collections at the museumby acquiring the Holmgren-Spertus collection of Indonesian textiles; the Kenneth Tyler collection of editioned prints, screens, multiples and unique proofs; andthe Australian Print Workshop Archive. He was also notable for campaigning for the construction of a new \"front\" entrance to the Gallery, facing King EdwardTerrace, which was completed in 2010 (see reference to the building project above).Kennedy's cancellation of the \"Sensation exhibition\" (scheduled at the NGAfrom 2 June 2000 to 13 August 2000) was controversial, and seen by some as censorship. He claimed that the decision was due to the exhibition being \"too closeto the market\" implying that a national cultural institution cannot exhibit the private collection of a speculative art investor. However, there were other exhibitionsat the NGA during his tenure, which could have raised similar concerns. The exhibition featured the privately owned Young British Artists works belonging toCharles Saatchi and attracted large attendances in London and Brooklyn. Its most controversial work was Chris Ofili's The Holy Virgin Mary, a painting which usedelephant dung and was accused of being blasphemous. The then-mayor of New York, Rudolph Giuliani, campaigned against the exhibition, claiming it was\"Catholic-bashing\" and an \"aggressive, vicious, disgusting attack on religion.\" In November 1999, Kennedy cancelled the exhibition and stated that the events inNew York had \"obscured discussion of the artistic merit of the works of art\". He has said that it \"was the toughest decision of my professional life, so far.\"Kennedywas also repeatedly questioned on his management of a range of issues during the Australian Government's Senate Estimates process - particularly on the NGA'soccupational health and safety record and concerns about the NGA's twenty-year-old air-conditioning system. The air-conditioning was finally renovated in 2003.Kennedy announced in 2002 that he would not seek extension of his contract beyond 2004, accepting a seven-year term as had his two predecessors.He becamea joint Irish-Australian citizen in 2003.Toledo Museum of ArtThe Toledo Museum of Art is known for its exceptional collections of European and American paintingsand sculpture, glass, antiquities, artist books, Japanese prints and netsuke. The museum offers free admission and is recognized for its historical leadership in thefield of art education. During his tenure, Kennedy has focused the museum's art education efforts on visual literacy, which he defines as \"learning to read,understand and write visual language.\" Initiatives have included baby and toddler tours, specialized training for all staff, docents, volunteers and the launch of awebsite, www.vislit.org. In November 2014, the museum hosted the International Visual Literacy Association (IVLA) conference, the first Museum to do so.Kennedy has been a frequent speaker on the topic, including 2010 and 2013 TEDx talks on visual and sensory literacy.Kennedy has expressed an interest inexpanding the museum's collection of contemporary art and art by indigenous peoples. Works by Frank Stella, Sean Scully, Jaume Plensa, Ravinder Reddy andMary Sibande have been acquired. In addition, the museum has made major acquisitions of Old Master paintings by Frans Hals and Luca Giordano.During histenure the Toledo Museum of Art has announced the return of several objects from its collection due to claims the objects were stolen and/or illegally exportedprior being sold to the museum. In 2011 a Meissen sweetmeat stand was returned to Germany followed by an Etruscan Kalpis or water jug to Italy (2013), anIndian sculpture of Ganesha (2014) and an astrological compendium to Germany in 2015.Hood Museum of ArtKennedy became Director of the Hood Museum ofArt in July 2005. During his tenure, he implemented a series of large and small-scale exhibitions and oversaw the production of more than 20 publications to bringgreater public attention to the museum's remarkable collections of the arts of America, Europe, Africa, Papua New Guinea and the Polar regions. At 70,000objects, the Hood has one of the largest collections on any American college of university campus. The exhibition, Black Womanhood: Images, Icons, andIdeologies of the African Body, toured several US venues. Kennedy increased campus curricular use of works of art, with thousands of objects pulled from storagefor classes annually. Numerous acquisitions were made with the museum's generous endowments, and he curated several exhibitions: including Wenda Gu:Forest of Stone Steles: Retranslation and Rewriting Tang Dynasty Poetry, Sean Scully: The Art of the Stripe, and Frank Stella: IrregularPolygons.PublicationsKennedy has written or edited a number of books on art, including:Alfred Chester Beatty and Ireland 1950-1968: A study in cultural politics,Glendale Press (1988), ISBN 978-0-907606-49-9Dreams and responsibilities: The state and arts in independent Ireland, Arts Council of Ireland (1990), ISBN978-0-906627-32-7Jack B Yeats: Jack Butler Yeats, 1871-1957 (Lives of Irish Artists), Unipub (October 1991), ISBN 978-0-948524-24-0The Anatomy Lesson:Art and Medicine (with Davis Coakley), National Gallery of Ireland (January 1992), ISBN 978-0-903162-65-4Ireland: Art into History (with Raymond Gillespie),Roberts Rinehart Publishers (1994), ISBN 978-1-57098-005-3Irish Painting, Roberts Rinehart Publishers (November 1997), ISBN 978-1-86059-059-7SeanScully: The Art of the Stripe, Hood Museum of Art (October 2008), ISBN 978-0-944722-34-3Frank Stella: Irregular Polygons, 1965-1966, Hood Museum of Art(October 2010), ISBN 978-0-944722-39-8Honors and achievementsKennedy was awarded the Australian Centenary Medal in 2001 for service to AustralianSociety and its art.

People's Artist of the USSR (1990).Early lifeRolan Bykovwas born to Anton Mikhailovich Bykov and Olga Matveyevna Bykova (née Sitnyakovskaya), the youngest of two brothers. There are many myths surrounding hisbiography, including the names of Rolan and his parents, date and place of birth. Different directories showed that he was born in Moscow, yet Bykov and hisbrother Geronim stated that their family moved to Moscow from Kyiv in 1934. Throughout his life Rolan Antonovich Bykov was officially known as RolandAnatolyevich Bykov and his date of birth — as November 12 which, according to him, was caused by a mistake in his passport. He named various reasons for this:from a drunken militsioner at the passport office to his own aunt who confused names and dates while arranging his documents. As for the unusual name, Rolanexplained that he was named after Romain Rolland (according to the Russian pronunciation) by his parents who confused Romain's surname for his name.Bykov'sfather was a military and intelligence officer of mixed Polish-Czech ancestry originally named Semyon Geronimovich Gordanovsky. He started his career byparticipating in World War I and making a successful escape after being taken captive by Austria-Hungary. During the Russian Civil War he fought as part of the1st Cavalry Army led by Semyon Budyonny. Between 1924 and 1926 he worked in Cheka and regularly visited Germany under different passports. His last codename was Anton Mikhailovich Bykov which he adopted as a real name. He was later promoted to a high-ranking position in the Communist Party of the SovietUnion and served as a managing director at various enterprises.Bykov's mother also changed her name from Ella Matusovna to Olga Matveevna at one point.While Bykov regularly referred to her and her relatives as «Ukrainians», she was in fact a daughter of a prosperous Jewish NEPman.

In 1939 he joineda youth theatrical studio organized by a Pioneers Palace where he met Alexander Mitta, Boris Rytsarev and Igor Kvasha.

Among his most famous works are Seven Nannies (1962), Aybolit-66 (1966), Attention, aTurtle! (1970) and Scarecrow (1983). His films are generally associated with postmodernism, presented as a mix of different styles, genres and techniques, withtheatrical musical numbers, arthouse editing, fourth wall breaking and so on. An unexpectedly grim Scarecrow released in 1984 became especially controversialand led to a lot of public criticism; some insisted it should be banned. Bykov survived a heart attack in the process. Yet in 1986 with the start of perestroika hewas awarded the USSR State Prize for his movie.Apart from his movie career Bykov also worked as an educator at High Courses for Scriptwriters and FilmDirectors.

He also headed a NonpartisanSocio-Political Movement 95 that expressed support to culture, science, education and ecology.

The book was adapted as a 2009 drama filmBury Me Behind the Baseboard, although the Sanayev family were displeased with it.Bykov also wrote poetry since childhood and published a book of poems in1994 entitled Poems by Rolan Bykov that was re-released several times. In 2010 his widow Elena Sanayeva published a book of Bykov's diaries (from 1945 to1996) that contained a lot of personal thoughts along with his wife's commentaries.In later years Bykov expressed a lot of concern regarding the movie industryand newer times in general. In his interview to Vladislav Listyev he stated that modern cinema was solely built around money, or the golden calf as he called it,with no place for art. «Back in 1984 I survived a heart attack following the release of Scarecrow; these days I survived a stroke during the production of a10-minute short under Belgian producers». In his interviews to Leonid Filatov he characterized modern times as «corrupted», «a collapse of culture and morals»,and modern cinema — as «a cigarette butt's art». In his diaries he continued those themes, predicting a Third World War, an environmental disaster and ageneral «schizophreniation» of the world population. The only exit he saw was a cultural and spiritual renaissance.Selected filmographyActorDirectorAwards andhonorsMedal \"For Labour Valour\" (1967)Jubilee Medal \"In Commemoration of the 100th Anniversary of the Birth of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin\" (1970)Honored Artist ofthe RSFSR (1973)USSR State Prize (1986) – for film ScarecrowPeople's Artist of the RSFSR (1987)Vasilyev Brothers State Prize of the RSFSR (1987) – for his roleas Professor Larsen in film Dead Man's LettersNika Award for Best Actor (1988) – for film CommissarPeople's Artist of the USSR (1990)Order \"For Merit to theFatherland\", 4th class (11 November 1994)Passage 4:Brian Kennedy (gallery director)Brian Patrick Kennedy (born 5 November 1961) is an Irish-born art"} +{"doc_id":"doc_299","qid":"","text":"Passage 1:Mickey's Tent ShowMickey's Tent Show is a 1933 short film in Larry Darmour's Mickey McGuire series starring a young Mickey Rooney.

Shiel1901[Greek: estai kai Samos ammos, eseitai Daelos adaelos]_Sibylline Prophecy_INTRODUCTIONAbout three months ago--that is to say,toward the end of May of thisyear of 1900--the writer whose name appears on the title-page receivedas noteworthy a letter, and packet of papers, as it has beenhis lot toexamine. They came from a very good friend of mine, whose name there isno reason that I should now conceal--Dr. Arthur Lister Browne, M.A.(Oxon.),F.R.C.P. It happened that for two years I had been spendingmost of my time in France, and as Browne had a Norfolk practice, I hadnot seen him during my visitsto London. Moreover, though our friendshipwas of the most intimate kind, we were both atrocious correspondents: sothat only two notes passed between usduring those years.Till, last May, there reached me the letter--and the packet--to which Irefer. The packet consisted of four note-books, quite crowdedthroughoutwith those giddy shapes of Pitman's shorthand, whose_ensemble_ so resembles startled swarms hovering in flighty poses on thewing. They were scribbled inpencil, with little distinction betweenthick and thin strokes, few vowels: so that their slow deciphering, Ican assure the reader, has been no holiday. The letter alsowaspencilled in shorthand; and this letter, together with the second of thenote-books which I have deciphered (it was marked 'III.'), I nowpublish.[I must say,however, that in some five instances there will occursentences rather crutched by my own guess-work; and in two instances thecharacters were so impossiblymystical, that I had to abandon thepassage with a head-ache. But all this will be found immaterial to thegeneral narrative.]The following is Browne's letter:'DEAROLD SHIEL,--I have just been lying thinking of you, and wishingthat you were here to give one a last squeeze of the hand beforeI--\"_go_\": for, by all appearance,\"going\" I am. Four days ago, I beganto feel a soreness in the throat, and passing by old Johnson's surgeryat Selbridge, went in and asked him to have a look atme. He mutteredsomething about membranous laryngitis which made me smile, but by thetime I reached home I was hoarse, and not smiling: before night Ihaddyspnoca and laryngeal stridor. I at once telegraphed to London forMorgan, and, between him and Johnson, they have been opening my trachea,and burningmy inside with chromic acid and the galvanic cautery. Thedifficulty as to breathing has subsided, and it is wonderful how littleI suffer: but I am much too old ahand not to know what's what: thebronchi are involved--_too far_ involved--and as a matter of absolutefact, there isn't any hope. Morgan is still, I believe, fondlydwellingupon the possibility of adding me to his successful-tracheotomystatistics, but prognosis was always my strong point, and I say No. Thevery smallconsolation of my death will be the beating of a specialistin his own line. So we shall see.'I have been arranging some of my affairs this morning, andrememberedthese notebooks. I intended letting you have them months ago, but myhabit of putting things off, and the fact that the lady was alive fromwhom Itook down the words, prevented me. Now she is dead, and as aliterary man, and a student of life, you should be interested, if youcan manage to read them. Youmay even find them valuable.'I am under a little morphia at present, propped up in a nice littlestate of languor, and as I am able to write without much effort, Iwilltell you in the old Pitman's something about her. Her name was Miss MaryWilson; she was about thirty when I met her, forty-five when she died,and I knewher intimately all those fifteen years. Do you know anythingabout the philosophy of the hypnotic trance? Well, that was the relationbetween us--hypnotist andsubject. She had been under another man beforemy time, but no one was ever so successful with her as I. She sufferedfrom _tic douloureux_ of the fifth nerve.She had had most of her teethdrawn before I saw her, and an attempt had been made to wrench out thenerve on the left side by the external scission. But itmade nodifference: all the clocks in hell tick-tacked in that poor woman's jaw,and it was the mercy of Providence that ever she came across _me_.Myorganisation was found to have almost complete, and quite easy, controlover hers, and with a few passes I could expel her Legion.'Well, you never saw anyoneso singular in personal appearance as myfriend, Miss Wilson. Medicine-man as I am, I could never behold hersuddenly without a sensation of shock: shesuggested so inevitably whatwe call \"the _other_ world,\" one detecting about her some odour of theworm, with the feeling that here was rather ghost thanwoman. And yet Ican hardly convey to you the why of this, except by dry details as tothe contours of her lofty brow, meagre lips, pointed chin, and ashencheeks.She was tall and deplorably emaciated, her whole skeleton,except the thigh-bones, being quite visible. Her eyes were of the bluishhue of cigarette smoke, andhad in them the strangest, feeble, unearthlygaze; while at thirty-five her paltry wisp of hair was quite white.'She was well-to-do, and lived alone in old WoodingManor-house, fivemiles from Ash Thomas. As you know, I was \"beginning\" in these parts atthe time, and soon took up my residence at the manor. She insistedthatI should devote myself to her alone; and that one patient constitutedthe most lucrative practice which I ever had.'Well, I quickly found that, in the state oftrance, Miss Wilsonpossessed very remarkable powers: remarkable, I mean, not, of course,because peculiar to herself in _kind_, but because they weresoconstant, reliable, exact, and far-reaching, in degree. The veriestfledgling in psychical science will now sit and discourse finically toyou about the reportingpowers of the mind in its trance state--just asthough it was something quite new! This simple fact, I assure you, whichthe Psychical Research Society, only afterendless investigation, admitsto be scientific, has been perfectly well known to every old crone sincethe Middle Ages, and, I assume, long previously. What anunnecessary airof discovery! The certainty that someone in trance in Manchester cantell you what is going on in London, or in Pekin, was not, of course,left to theacumen of an office in Fleet Street; and the society, inestablishing the fact beyond doubt for the general public, has not goneone step toward explaining it. Theyhave, in fact, revealed nothing thatmany of us did not, with absolute assurance, know before.'But talking of poor Miss Wilson, I say that her powerswere_remarkable_, because, though not exceptional in _genre_, they were sospecial in quantity,--so \"constant,\" and \"far-reaching.\" I believe it tobe a fact that,_in general_, the powers of trance manifest themselvesmore particularly with regard to space, as distinct from time: thespirit roams in the present--it travelsover a plain--it does not_usually_ attract the interest of observers by great ascents, or bygreat descents. I fancy that is so. But Miss Wilson's gift was specialtothis extent, that she travelled in every direction, and easily in allbut one, north and south, up and down, in the past, the present, and thefuture.This I discovered,not at once, but gradually. She would emit a streamof sounds in the trance state--I can hardly call it _speech_, somurmurous, yet guttural, was the utterance,mixed with puffybreath-sounds at the languid lips. This state was accompanied by anintense contraction of the pupils, absence of the knee-jerk,considerablerigor, and a rapt and arrant expression. I got into thehabit of sitting long hours at her bed-side, quite fascinated by her,trying to catch the import of that opiateand visionary language whichcame puffing and fluttering in deliberate monotone from her lips.Gradually, in the course of months, my ear learned to detect thewords;\"the veil was rent\" for me also; and I was able to follow somewhat thecourse of her musing and wandering spirit.At the end of six months I heard her oneday repeat some words whichwere familiar to me. They were these: \"Such were the arts by which theRomans extended their conquests, and attained the palm ofvictory; andthe concurring testimony of different authors enables us to describethem with precision...\" I was startled: they are part of Gibbon's\"Decline and Fall,\"which I easily guessed that she had never read.I said in a stern voice: \"Where are you?\"She replied, \"Us are in a room, eight hundred and eleven miles above.Aman is writing. Us are reading.\"I may tell you two things: first, that in trance she never spoke ofherself as \"I,\" nor even as \"we,\" but, for some unknown reason,in the_objective_ way, as \"_us_\": \"us are,\" she would say--\"us will,\" \"uswent\"; though, of course, she was an educated lady, and I don't thinkever lived in theWest of England, where they say \"us\" in that way;secondly, when wandering in the past, she always represented herself asbeing \"_above_\" (the earth?), andhigher the further back in time shewent; in describing present events she appears to have felt herself _on_(the earth); while, as regards the future, she invariablydeclared that\"_us_\" were so many miles \"within\" (the earth).To her excursions in this last direction, however, there seemed to existcertain fixed limits: I sayseemed, for I cannot be sure, and only meanthat, in spite of my efforts, she never, in fact, went far in thisdirection. Three, four thousand \"miles\" were commonfigures on her lipsin describing her distance \"above\"; but her distance \"within\" never gotbeyond sixty-three. Usually, she would say twenty, twenty-five.Sheappeared, in relation to the future, to resemble a diver in the deepsea, who, the deeper he strives, finds a more resistant pressure, till,at no great depth,resistance becomes prohibition, and he can no furtherstrive.'I am afraid I can't go on: though I had a good deal to tell you aboutthis lady. During fifteen years, offand on, I sat listening by her dimbed-side to her murmuring trances! At last my expert ear could detectthe sense of her faintest sigh. I heard the \"Decline andFall\" frombeginning to end. Some of her reports were the most frivolous nonsense:over others I have hung in a horror of interest. Certainly, my friend, Ihaveheard some amazing words proceed from those wan lips of MaryWilson. Sometimes I could hitch her repeatedly to any scene or subjectthat I chose by the mereexercise of my will; at others, the flightywaywardness of her spirit eluded and baffled me: she resisted--shedisobeyed: otherwise I might have sent you, not fournote-books, buttwenty, or forty. About the fifth year it struck me that it would bewell to jot down her more connected utterances, since I knew shorthand.Thenote-book marked \"I.,\" [1] which seems to me the most curious,belongs to the seventh year. Its history, like those of the other three,is this: I heard her one"}

\"MINORITY REPORT\" -- Aug 15th 1997 rewrite by Jon Cohen
               \"MINORITY REPORT\"                -- Aug 15th 1997 rewrite by JonCohen               DARKNESS               And then, slowly emerging from the mists of darkness, a pale,               beautifully proportionedFACE.               The oval face is female, a woman of indeterminate age, her               features as fragile as porcelain.  Her eyes are closed in               sleep, orin death ... or in something in between.               Now TWO MORE FACES emerge out of the darkness.  They are               male, and they float into position oneither side of the               female.  They are just as ethereally beautiful, just as pale,               and like the female their eyes are closed.               The ghostlylips of the female begin to twitch.  Her features,               which have been expressionless, suddenly contort, mask-like,               into the face of a woman infear.  Her eyes open.               The male face on her right contorts too.  His features warp               into an angry snarl -- the mask of a man enraged.  Hiseyes               open.               The male face on her left takes on the expression of a young               boy, a boy who is terribly frightened.  His eyes openwide.               As if they are lost in the same terrible waking dream, a               sudden and unnerving exchange begins...

The motto on thetitle-page of the original was from Southey: \"Wilt thou go on with me?\"Afterwards, when he had struck into the vein of fiction thatcame to beknown as distinctively his own, he attempted to suppress this youthfulwork, and was so successful that he obtained and destroyed all but a fewof thecopies then extant.Some twelve years after his death it was resolved, in view of the interestmanifested in tracing the growth of his genius from the beginning ofhisactivity as an author, to revive this youthful romance; and the reissue of\"Fanshawe\" was then made.Little biographical interest attaches to it, beyond the factthat Mr.Longfellow found in the descriptions and general atmosphere of the book adecided suggestion of the situation of Bowdoin College, at Brunswick,Maine,and the life there at the time when he and Hawthorne were bothundergraduates of that institution.Professor Packard, of Bowdoin College, who was then in chargeof the studyof English literature, and has survived both of his illustrious pupils,recalls Hawthorne's exceptional excellence in the composition of English,even atthat date (1821-1825); and it is not impossible that Hawthorneintended, through the character of Fanshawe, to present some faintprojection of what he thenthought might be his own obscure history. Evenwhile he was in college, however, and meditating perhaps the slenderelements of this first romance, hisfellow-student Horatio Bridge, whose\"Journal of an African Cruiser\" he afterwards edited, recognized in himthe possibilities of a writer of fiction--a fact to whichHawthornealludes in the dedicatory Preface to \"The Snow-Image.\"G. P. L.FANSHAWE       *       *       *       *       *CHAPTER I.  \"Our court shall be a littleAcademe.\"--SHAKESPEARE.In an ancient though not very populous settlement, in a retired corner ofone of the New England States, arise the walls of a seminaryof learning,which, for the convenience of a name, shall be entitled \"Harley College.\"This institution, though the number of its years is inconsiderablecomparedwith the hoar antiquity of its European sisters, is not withoutsome claims to reverence on the score of age; for an almost countlessmultitude of rivals, by many ofwhich its reputation has been eclipsed,have sprung up since its foundation. At no time, indeed, during anexistence of nearly a century, has it acquired a veryextensive fame; andcircumstances, which need not be particularized, have, of late years,involved it in a deeper obscurity. There are now few candidates forthedegrees that the college is authorized to bestow. On two of its annual\"Commencement Days,\" there has been a total deficiency of baccalaureates;and thelawyers and divines, on whom doctorates in their respectiveprofessions are gratuitously inflicted, are not accustomed to consider thedistinction as an honor. Yetthe sons of this seminary have alwaysmaintained their full share of reputation, in whatever paths of life theytrod. Few of them, perhaps, have been deep andfinished scholars; but thecollege has supplied--what the emergencies of the country demanded--a setof men more useful in its present state, and whosedeficiency intheoretical knowledge has not been found to imply a want of practicalability.The local situation of the college, so far secluded from the sight andsoundof the busy world, is peculiarly favorable to the moral, if not tothe literary, habits of its students; and this advantage probably causedthe founders to overlook theinconveniences that were inseparablyconnected with it. The humble edifices rear themselves almost at thefarthest extremity of a narrow vale, which, windingthrough a long extentof hill-country, is wellnigh as inaccessible, except at one point, as theHappy Valley of Abyssinia. A stream, that farther on becomesaconsiderable river, takes its rise at, a short distance above the college,and affords, along its wood-fringed banks, many shady retreats, whereeven study ispleasant, and idleness delicious. The neighborhood of theinstitution is not quite a solitude, though the few habitations scarcelyconstitute a village. These consistprincipally of farm-houses, of ratheran ancient date (for the settlement is much older than the college), andof a little inn, which even in that secluded spot doesnot fail of amoderate support. Other dwellings are scattered up and down the valley;but the difficulties of the soil will long avert the evils of a toodensepopulation. The character of the inhabitants does not seem--as there was,perhaps, room to anticipate--to be in any degree influenced by theatmosphere ofHarley College. They are a set of rough and hardy yeomen,much inferior, as respects refinement, to the corresponding classes inmost other parts of our country.This is the more remarkable, as there isscarcely a family in the vicinity that has not provided, for at least oneof its sons, the advantages of a \"liberaleducation.\"Having thus described the present state of Harley College, we must proceedto speak of it as it existed about eighty years since, when itsfoundationwas recent, and its prospects flattering. At the head of the institution,at this period, was a learned and Orthodox divine, whose fame was in allthechurches. He was the author of several works which evinced mucherudition and depth of research; and the public, perhaps, thought the morehighly of his abilitiesfrom a singularity in the purposes to which heapplied them, that added much to the curiosity of his labors, thoughlittle to their usefulness. But, however fancifulmight be his privatepursuits, Dr. Melmoth, it was universally allowed, was diligent andsuccessful in the arts of instruction. The young men of his chargeprosperedbeneath his eye, and regarded him with an affection that wasstrengthened by the little foibles which occasionally excited theirridicule. The president was assistedin the discharge of his duties by twoinferior officers, chosen from the alumni of the college, who, while theyimparted to others the knowledge they had alreadyimbibed, pursued thestudy of divinity under the direction of their principal. Under suchauspices the institution grew and flourished. Having at that time buttworivals in the country (neither of them within a considerable distance), itbecame the general resort of the youth of the Province in which it wassituated. Forseveral years in succession, its students amounted to nearlyfifty,--a number which, relatively to the circumstances of the country,was very considerable.From theexterior of the collegians, an accurate observer might prettysafely judge how long they had been inmates of those classic walls. Thebrown cheeks and the rusticdress of some would inform him that they hadbut recently left the plough to labor in a not less toilsome field; thegrave look, and the intermingling of garments ofa more classic cut, woulddistinguish those who had begun to acquire the polish of their newresidence; and the air of superiority, the paler cheek, the lessrobustform, the spectacles of green, and the dress, in general of threadbareblack, would designate the highest class, who were understood to haveacquirednearly all the science their Alma Mater could bestow, and to beon the point of assuming their stations in the world. There were, it istrue, exceptions to thisgeneral description. A few young men had foundtheir way hither from the distant seaports; and these were the models offashion to their rustic companions, overwhom they asserted a superiorityin exterior accomplishments, which the fresh though unpolished intellectof the sons of the forest denied them in their literarycompetitions. Athird class, differing widely from both the former, consisted of a fewyoung descendants of the aborigines, to whom an impracticablephilanthropywas endeavoring to impart the benefits of civilization.If this institution did not offer all the advantages of elder and prouderseminaries, its deficiencieswere compensated to its students by theinculcation of regular habits, and of a deep and awful sense of religion,which seldom deserted them in their coursethrough life. The mild andgentle rule of Dr. Melmoth, like that of a father over his children, wasmore destructive to vice than a sterner sway; and though youth isneverwithout its follies, they have seldom been more harmless than they werehere. The students, indeed, ignorant of their own bliss, sometimes wishedto hastenthe time of their entrance on the business of life; but theyfound, in after-years, that many of their happiest remembrances, many ofthe scenes which they wouldwith least reluctance live over again,referred to the seat of their early studies. The exceptions to this remarkwere chiefly those whose vices had drawn down, evenfrom that paternalgovernment, a weighty retribution.Dr. Melmoth, at the time when he is to be introduced to the reader, hadborne the matrimonial yoke (and inhis case it was no light burden) nearlytwenty years. The blessing of children, however, had been denied him,--acircumstance which he was accustomed toconsider as one of the soresttrials that checkered his pathway; for he was a man of a kind andaffectionate heart, that was continually seeking objects to restitselfupon. He was inclined to believe, also, that a common offspring would haveexerted a meliorating influence on the temper of Mrs. Melmoth, thecharacter ofwhose domestic government often compelled him to call to mindsuch portions of the wisdom of antiquity as relate to the proper enduranceof the shrewishness ofwoman. But domestic comforts, as well as comfortsof every other kind, have their drawbacks; and, so long as the balance ison the side of happiness, a wise manwill not murmur. Such was the opinionof Dr. Melmoth; and with a little aid from philosophy, and more fromreligion, he journeyed on contentedly through life.When the storm wasloud by the parlor hearth, he had always a sure and quiet retreat in hisstudy; and there, in his deep though not always useful labors, hesoonforgot whatever of disagreeable nature pertained to his situation. Thissmall and dark apartment was the only portion of the house to which, sinceone firmlyrepelled invasion, Mrs. Melmoth's omnipotence did not extend.Here (to reverse the words of Queen Elizabeth) there was \"but one masterand no mistress\"; andthat man has little right to complain who possessesso much as one corner in the world where he may be happy or miserable, asbest suits him. In his study, then,"}

They,--the Walkers,--lived in a great brickhouse in themiddle of the town, gave dinners, to which the countygentlemen not unfrequently condescended to come, and in a mild wayled the fashion in Silverbridge. \"I cannever bring myself to believeit, John,\" said Miss Walker.\"You'll have to bring yourself to believe it,\" said John, withouttaking his eyes from his book.\"Aclergyman,--and such a clergyman too!\"\"I don't see that that has anything to do with it.\" And as he nowspoke, John did take his eyes off his book. \"Why shouldnot aclergyman turn thief as well as anybody else? You girls always seemto forget that clergymen are only men after all.\"\"Their conduct is likely to be better thanthat of other men, Ithink.\"\"I deny it utterly,\" said John Walker. \"I'll undertake to say thatat this moment there are more clergymen in debt in Barsetshirethanthere are either lawyers or doctors. This man has always been indebt. Since he has been in the county I don't think he has ever beenable to show his face inthe High Street of Silverbridge.\"\"John, that is saying more than you have a right to say,\" said Mrs.Walker.\"Why, mother, this very cheque was given to a butcherwho hadthreatened a few days before to post bills all about the county,giving an account of the debt that was due to him, if the money wasnot paid atonce.\"\"More shame for Mr. Fletcher,\" said Mary. \"He has made a fortune asbutcher in Silverbridge.\"\"What has that to do with it? Of course a man likes to havehismoney. He had written three times to the bishop, and he had senta man over to Hogglestock to get his little bill settled six daysrunning. You see he got it atlast. Of course, a tradesman must lookfor his money.\"\"Mamma, do you think that Mr. Crawley stole the cheque?\" Mary, as sheasked the question, came andstood over her mother, looking at herwith anxious eyes.\"I would rather give no opinion, my dear.\"\"But you must think something when everybody is talking aboutit,mamma.\"\"Of course my mother thinks he did,\" said John, going back to hisbook. \"It is impossible that she should think otherwise.\"\"That is not fair, John,\" saidMrs. Walker; \"and I won't have youfabricate thoughts for me, or put the expression of them into mymouth. The whole affair is very painful, and as your fatherisengaged in the inquiry, I think that the less said about the matterin this house the better. I am sure that that would be your father'sfeeling.\"\"Of course I shouldsay nothing about it before him,\" said Mary. \"Iknow that papa does not wish to have it talked about. But how is oneto help thinking about such a thing? It wouldbe so terrible for allof us who belong to the Church.\"\"I do not see that at all,\" said John. \"Mr. Crawley is not more thanany other man just because he's aclergyman. I hate all that kind ofclap-trap. There are a lot of people here in Silverbridge who thinkthe matter shouldn't be followed up, just because the man is inaposition which makes the crime more criminal in him than it would bein another.\"\"But I feel sure that Mr. Crawley has committed no crime at all,\"said Mary.\"Mydear,\" said Mrs. Walker, \"I have just said that I would ratheryou would not talk about it. Papa will be in directly.\"\"I won't, mamma;--only--\"\"Only! yes; just only!\"said John. \"She'd go on till dinner if anyone would stay to hear her.\"\"You've said twice as much as I have, John.\" But John had left theroom before his sister's lastwords could reach him.\"You know, mamma, it is quite impossible not to help thinking of it,\"said Mary.\"I dare say it is, my dear.\"\"And when one knows the peopleit does make it so dreadful.\"\"But do you know them? I never spoke to Mr. Crawley in my life, andI do not think I ever saw her.\"\"I knew Grace very well,--whenshe used to come first to MissPrettyman's school.\"\"Poor girl. I pity her.\"\"Pity her! Pity is no word for it, mamma. My heart bleeds for them.And yet I do not believefor a moment that he stole the cheque. Howcan it be possible? For though he may have been in debt because theyhave been so very, very poor; yet we all knowthat he has been anexcellent clergyman. When the Robartses were dining here last, Iheard Mrs. Robarts say that for piety and devotion to his duties shehadhardly ever seen any one equal to him.

OF THEKING OF OAKENREALM, AND HIS WIFE AND HIS CHILD.Of old there was a land which was so much a woodland, that a minstrelthereof said it that a squirrel mightgo from end to end, and all about,from tree to tree, and never touch the earth: therefore was that landcalled Oakenrealm.The lord and king thereof was a starkman, and so great a warrior thatin his youth he took no delight in aught else save battle and tourneys.But when he was hard on forty years old, he came across adaughter ofa certain lord, whom he had vanquished, and his eyes bewrayed himinto longing, so that he gave back to the said lord the havings he hadconqueredof him that he might lay the maiden in his kingly bed. So hebrought her home with him to Oakenrealm and wedded her.Tells the tale that he rued not his bargain,but loved her so dearlythat for a year round he wore no armour, save when she bade him play inthe tilt-yard for her desport and pride.So wore the days till shewent with child and was near her time, andthen it betid that three kings who marched on Oakenrealm banded themtogether against him, and his lords and thanescried out on him to leadthem to battle, and it behoved him to do as they would.So he sent out the tokens and bade an hosting at his chief city, andwhen all wasready he said farewell to his wife and her babe unborn, andwent his ways to battle once more: but fierce was his heart against thefoemen, that they had draggedhim away from his love and his joy.Even amidst of his land he joined battle with the host of the ravagers,and the tale of them is short to tell, for they were as thewheat beforethe hook. But as he followed up the chase, a mere thrall of the fleersturned on him and cast his spear, and it reached him whereas his hawberkwasbroken, and stood deep in, so that he fell to earth unmighty: andwhen his lords and chieftains drew about him, and cunning men strove toheal him, it was of noavail, and he knew that his soul was departing.Then he sent for a priest, and for the Marshal of the host, who was agreat lord, and the son of his father's brother,and in few words badehim look to the babe whom his wife bore about, and if it were a man, tocherish him and do him to learn all that a king ought to know; and ifitwere a maiden, that he should look to her wedding well and worthily: andhe let swear him on his sword, on the edges and the hilts, that he woulddo even so,and be true unto his child if child there were: and he badehim have rule, if so be the lords would, and all the people, till thechild were of age to be king: and theMarshal swore, and all the lordswho stood around bare witness to his swearing. Thereafter the priesthouselled the King, and he received his Creator, and a littlewhileafter his soul departed.But the Marshal followed up the fleeing foe, and two battles more hefought before he beat them flat to earth; and then they cravedforpeace, and he went back to the city in mickle honour.But in the King's city of Oakenham he found but little joy; for boththe King was bemoaned, whereas hehad been no hard man to his folk; andalso, when the tidings and the King's corpse came back to Oakenrealm,his Lady and Queen took sick for sorrow and fear,and fell into labourof her child, and in childing of a man-bairn she died, but the ladlived, and was like to do well.So there was one funeral for the slain King and forher whom his slayinghad slain: and when that was done, the little king was borne to thefont, and at his christening he gat to name Christopher.Thereafter theMarshal summoned all them that were due thereto to comeand give homage to the new king, and even so did they, though he werebut a babe, yea, and who hadbut just now been a king lying in hismother's womb. But when the homage was done, then the Marshal calledtogether the wise men, and told them how the Kingthat was had given himin charge his son as then unborn, and the ruling of the realm till thesaid son were come to man's estate: but he bade them seek oneworthierif they had heart to gainsay the word of their dying lord. Then all theysaid that he was worthy and mighty and the choice of their dear lord,and that theywould have none but he.So then was the great folk-mote called, and the same matter was laidbefore all the people, and none said aught against it, whereas nomanwas ready to name another to that charge and rule, even had it been hisown self.Now then by law was the Marshal, who hight Rolf, lord and earl of theland ofOakenrealm. He ruled well and strongly, and was a fell warrior:he was well befriended by many of the great; and the rest of them fearedhim and his friends: asfor the commonalty, they saw that he held therealm in peace; and for the rest, they knew little and saw less of him,and they paid to his bailiffs and sheriffs aslittle as they could, andmore than they would. But whereas that left them somewhat to grind theirteeth on, and they were not harried, they were not so illcontent. Sothe Marshal throve, and lacked nothing of a king's place save the barename.CHAPTER II. OF THE KING'S SON.As for the King's son, to whom the folkhad of late done homage as king,he was at first seen about a corner of the High House with his nurses;and then in a while it was said, and the tale noted, but notmuch, thathe must needs go for his health's sake, and because he was puny, to somestead amongst the fields, and folk heard say that he was gone to thestronghouse of a knight somewhat stricken in years, who was called LordRichard the Lean. The said house was some twelve miles from Oakenham,not far from thenorthern edge of the wild-wood. But in a while, scarcemore than a year, Lord Richard brake up house at the said castle, andwent southward through the forest. Ofthis departure was little said,for he was not a man amongst the foremost. As for the King's little son,if any remembered that he was in the hands of the said LordRichard,none said aught about it; for if any thought of the little babe at all,they said to themselves, Never will he come to be king.Now as for Lord Richard theLean, he went far through the wood, anduntil he was come to another house of his, that stood in a clearingsomewhat near to where Oakenrealm marched onanother country, whichhight Meadham; though the said wild-wood ended not where Oakenrealmended, but stretched a good way into Meadham; and betwixt oneand theother much rough country there was.It is to be said that amongst those who went to this stronghold of thewoods was the little King Christopher, no longerpuny, but a stoutbabe enough: so he was borne amongst the serving men and thralls tothe castle of the Outer March; and he was in no wise treated as agreatman's son; but there was more than one woman who was kind to him, andas he waxed in strength and beauty month by month, both carle andquean fell tonoting him, and, for as little as he was, he began to bewell-beloved.As to the stead where he was nourished, though it were far away amongstthe woods, it wasno such lonely or savage place: besides the castle andthe houses of it, there was a merry thorpe in the clearing, the houseswhereof were set down by the side ofa clear and pleasant little stream.Moreover the goodmen and swains of the said township were no ill folk,but bold of heart, free of speech, and goodly of favour;and the womenof them fair, kind, and trusty. Whiles came folk journeying in toOakenrealm or out to Meadham, and of these some were minstrels, who hadwiththem tidings of what was astir whereas folk were thicker in theworld, and some chapmen, who chaffered with the thorpe-dwellers, andtook of them the woodlandspoil for such outland goods as those woodmenneeded.So wore the years, and in Oakenham King Christopher was well nighforgotten, and in the wild-wood hadnever been known clearly for King'sson. At first, by command of Rolf the Marshal, a messenger cameevery year from Lord Richard with a letter that told of howthe ladChristopher did. But when five years were worn, the Marshal bade sendhim tidings thereof every three years; and by then it was come to thetwelfth year,and still the tidings were that the lad throve ever, andmeanwhile the Marshal sat fast in his seat with none to gainsay, theword went to Lord Richard that heshould send no more, for that he, theMarshal, had heard enough of the boy; and if he throve it were well, andif not, it was no worse. So wore the days and theyears.CHAPTER III. OF THE KING OF MEADHAM AND HIS DAUGHTER.Tells the tale that in the country which lay south of Oakenrealm, andwas called Meadham,there was in these days a king whose wife was dead,but had left him a fair daughter, who was born some four years afterKing Christopher. A good man was thisKing Roland, mild, bounteous, andno regarder of persons in his justice; and well-beloved he was of hisfolk: yet could not their love keep him alive; for, whenashis daughterwas of the age of twelve years, he sickened unto death; and so, when heknew that his end drew near, he sent for the wisest of his wise men,andthey came unto him sorrowing in the High House of his chiefest city,which hight Meadhamstead. So he bade them sit down nigh unto his bed,and took up theword and spake:\"Masters, and my good lords, ye may see clearly that a sundering is athand, and that I must needs make a long journey, whence I shallcomeback never; now I would, and am verily of duty bound thereto, that Ileave behind me some good order in the land. Furthermore, I would thatmy daughter,when she is of age thereto, should be Queen in Meadham, andrule the land; neither will it be many years before she shall be of ripeage for ruling, if ever she maybe; and I deem not that there shall beany lack in her, whereas her mother could all courtesy, and was as wiseas a woman may be. But how say ye, mymasters?\"So they all with one consent said Yea, and they would ask for no betterking than their lady his daughter. Then said the King:\"Hearken carefully, for mytime is short: Yet is she young and a maiden,though she be wise. Now therefore do I need some man well looked to ofthe folk, who shall rule the land in hername till she be of eighteenwinters, and who shall be her good friend and counsellor into all wisdomthereafter. Which of you, my masters, is meet for thismatter?\"Then they all looked one on the other, and spake not. And the King said:\"Speak, some one of you, without fear; this is no time for tarrying.\"Thereonspake an elder, the oldest of them, and said: \"Lord, this isthe very truth, that none of us here present are meet for this office:whereas, among other matters, webe all unmeet for battle; some of ushave never been warriors, and other some are past the age for leading anhost. To say the sooth, King, there is but one man inMeadham who may dowhat thou wilt, and not fail; both for his wisdom, and his might afield,and the account which is had of him amongst the people; and that"}

T.H.January 1896.BOOK THE FIRST. GEORGE SOMERSET.I.The sun blazed down and down, till it was withinhalf-an-hour of itssetting; but the sketcher still lingered at his occupation of measuringand copying the chevroned doorway--a bold and quaint example ofatransitional style of architecture, which formed the tower entrance toan English village church. The graveyard being quite open on its westernside, thetweed-clad figure of the young draughtsman, and the tall massof antique masonry which rose above him to a battlemented parapet,were fired to a greatbrightness by the solar rays, that crossed theneighbouring mead like a warp of gold threads, in whose mazes groups ofequally lustrous gnats danced and wailedincessantly.He was so absorbed in his pursuit that he did not mark the brilliantchromatic effect of which he composed the central feature, till it wasbrought hometo his intelligence by the warmth of the moulded stoneworkunder his touch when measuring; which led him at length to turn his headand gaze on its cause.Thereare few in whom the sight of a sunset does not beget as muchmeditative melancholy as contemplative pleasure, the human decline anddeath that it illustratesbeing too obvious to escape the notice ofthe simplest observer. The sketcher, as if he had been brought to thisreflection many hundreds of times before by thesame spectacle, showedthat he did not wish to pursue it just now, by turning away his faceafter a few moments, to resume his architectural studies.He took hismeasurements carefully, and as if he reverenced the oldworkers whose trick he was endeavouring to acquire six hundred yearsafter the original performance hadceased and the performers passed intothe unseen. By means of a strip of lead called a leaden tape, whichhe pressed around and into the fillets and hollows withhis finger andthumb, he transferred the exact contour of each moulding to his drawing,that lay on a sketching-stool a few feet distant; where were alsoasketching-block, a small T-square, a bow-pencil, and other mathematicalinstruments. When he had marked down the line thus fixed, he returned tothe doorwayto copy another as before.It being the month of August, when the pale face of the townsman and thestranger is to be seen among the brown skins of remotestuplanders,not only in England, but throughout the temperate zone, few of thehomeward-bound labourers paused to notice him further than by amomentary turnof the head. They had beheld such gentlemen before, notexactly measuring the church so accurately as this one seemed to bedoing, but painting it from adistance, or at least walking round themouldy pile. At the same time the present visitor, even exteriorly, wasnot altogether commonplace. His features weregood, his eyes of the darkdeep sort called eloquent by the sex that ought to know, and with thatray of light in them which announces a heart susceptible tobeauty ofall kinds,--in woman, in art, and in inanimate nature. Though hewould have been broadly characterized as a young man, his face borecontradictorytestimonies to his precise age. This was conceivablyowing to a too dominant speculative activity in him, which, while ithad preserved the emotional side of hisconstitution, and with it thesignificant flexuousness of mouth and chin, had played upon his foreheadand temples till, at weary moments, they exhibited sometraces of beingover-exercised. A youthfulness about the mobile features, a matureforehead--though not exactly what the world has been familiar within pastages--is now growing common; and with the advance of juvenileintrospection it probably must grow commoner still. Briefly, he had moreof the beauty--if beautyit ought to be called--of the future human typethan of the past; but not so much as to make him other than a nice youngman.His build was somewhat slender andtall; his complexion, though a littlebrowned by recent exposure, was that of a man who spent much of his timeindoors. Of beard he had but small show, thoughhe was as innocent asa Nazarite of the use of the razor; but he possessed a moustacheall-sufficient to hide the subtleties of his mouth, which could thusbetremulous at tender moments without provoking inconvenient criticism.Owing to his situation on high ground, open to the west, he remainedenveloped in thelingering aureate haze till a time when the easternpart of the churchyard was in obscurity, and damp with rising dew.When it was too dark to sketch further hepacked up his drawing, and,beckoning to a lad who had been idling by the gate, directed him tocarry the stool and implements to a roadside inn which he named,lying amile or two ahead. The draughtsman leisurely followed the lad out of thechurchyard, and along a lane in the direction signified.The spectacle of a summertraveller from London sketching mediaevaldetails in these neo-Pagan days, when a lull has come over the study ofEnglish Gothic architecture, through are-awakening to the art-forms oftimes that more nearly neighbour our own, is accounted for by the factthat George Somerset, son of the Academician of thatname, was a manof independent tastes and excursive instincts, who unconsciously, andperhaps unhappily, took greater pleasure in floating in lonely currentsofthought than with the general tide of opinion. When quite a lad, inthe days of the French Gothic mania which immediately succeeded to thegreat English-pointedrevival under Britton, Pugin, Rickman, Scott, andother mediaevalists, he had crept away from the fashion to admire whatwas good in Palladian and Renaissance.As soon as Jacobean, QueenAnne, and kindred accretions of decayed styles began to be popular, hepurchased such old-school works as Revett and Stuart,Chambers, and therest, and worked diligently at the Five Orders; till quite bewilderedon the question of style, he concluded that all styles were extinct, andwiththem all architecture as a living art. Somerset was not old enoughat that time to know that, in practice, art had at all times been asfull of shifts and compromisesas every other mundane thing; that idealperfection was never achieved by Greek, Goth, or Hebrew Jew, andnever would be; and thus he was thrown into a moodof disgust withhis profession, from which mood he was only delivered by recklesslyabandoning these studies and indulging in an old enthusiasm forpoeticalliterature. For two whole years he did nothing but write verse in everyconceivable metre, and on every conceivable subject, from Wordsworthiansonnetson the singing of his tea-kettle to epic fragments on the Fallof Empires. His discovery at the age of five-and-twenty that theseinspired works were not jumped atby the publishers with all theeagerness they deserved, coincided in point of time with a severe hintfrom his father that unless he went on with his legitimateprofession hemight have to look elsewhere than at home for an allowance. Mr. Somersetjunior then awoke to realities, became intently practical, rushed backtohis dusty drawing-boards, and worked up the styles anew, with a viewof regularly starting in practice on the first day of the followingJanuary.It is an old story,and perhaps only deserves the light tone in whichthe soaring of a young man into the empyrean, and his descent again, isalways narrated. But as has often beensaid, the light and the truth maybe on the side of the dreamer: a far wider view than the wise oneshave may be his at that recalcitrant time, and his reduction tocommonmeasure be nothing less than a tragic event. The operation calledlunging, in which a haltered colt is made to trot round and rounda horsebreaker whoholds the rope, till the beholder grows dizzy inlooking at them, is a very unhappy one for the animal concerned. Duringits progress the colt springs upward, acrossthe circle, stops, fliesover the turf with the velocity of a bird, and indulges in all sorts ofgraceful antics; but he always ends in one way--thanks to theknottedwhipcord--in a level trot round the lunger with the regularity of ahorizontal wheel, and in the loss for ever to his character of thebold contours which thefine hand of Nature gave it. Yet the process isconsidered to be the making of him.Whether Somerset became permanently made under the action of theinevitablelunge, or whether he lapsed into mere dabbling with theartistic side of his profession only, it would be premature to say; butat any rate it was his contrite returnto architecture as a calling thatsent him on the sketching excursion under notice. Feeling that somethingstill was wanting to round off his knowledge before hecould take hisprofessional line with confidence, he was led to remember that his ownnative Gothic was the one form of design that he had totally neglectedfromthe beginning, through its having greeted him with wearisomeiteration at the opening of his career. Now it had again returned tosilence; indeed--such is thesurprising instability of art 'principles'as they are facetiously called--it was just as likely as not to sinkinto the neglect and oblivion which had been its lot in"}

There were yards and yards of sandy passages,leading to storerooms and nut-cellars andseed-cellars, all amongst theroots of the hedge.[Illustration: In the pantry][Illustration: In bed]There was a kitchen, a parlour, a pantry, and a larder.Also, therewas Mrs. Tittlemouse's bedroom, where she slept in a littlebox bed!Mrs. Tittlemouse was a most terribly tidy particular little mouse,always sweeping and dustingthe soft sandy floors.Sometimes a beetle lost its way in the passages.\"Shuh! shuh! little dirty feet!\" said Mrs. Tittlemouse, clattering herdust-pan.[Illustration:Shooing a beetle][Illustration: A ladybird]And one day a little old woman ran up and down in a red spotty cloak.\"Your house is on fire, Mother Ladybird! Fly awayhome to yourchildren!\"Another day, a big fat spider came in to shelter from the rain.\"Beg pardon, is this not Miss Muffet's?\"\"Go away, you bold bad spider!Leaving ends of cobweb all over my niceclean house!\"[Illustration: Spider][Illustration: Out the window]She bundled the spider out at a window.He let himselfdown the hedge with a long thin bit of string.Mrs. Tittlemouse went on her way to a distant storeroom, to fetchcherry-stones and thistle-down seed for dinner.Allalong the passage she sniffed, and looked at the floor.\"I smell a smell of honey; is it the cowslips outside, in the hedge? Iam sure I can see the marks of littledirty feet.\"[Illustration: Marks of little feet][Illustration: Babbitty Bumble]Suddenly round a corner, she met Babbitty Bumble--\"Zizz, Bizz, Bizzz!\"said the bumblebee.Mrs. Tittlemouse looked at her severely. She wished that she had abroom.\"Good-day, Babbitty Bumble; I should be glad to buy some beeswax. Butwhat areyou doing down here? Why do you always come in at a window, andsay Zizz, Bizz, Bizzz?\" Mrs. Tittlemouse began to get cross.\"Zizz, Wizz, Wizzz!\" repliedBabbitty Bumble in a peevish squeak. Shesidled down a passage, and disappeared into a storeroom which had beenused for acorns.Mrs. Tittlemouse had eatenthe acorns before Christmas; the storeroomought to have been empty.But it was full of untidy dry moss.[Illustration: Full of moss][Illustration: Bees nest]Mrs.Tittlemouse began to pull out the moss. Three or four other beesput their heads out, and buzzed fiercely.\"I am not in the habit of letting lodgings; this is anintrusion!\" saidMrs. Tittlemouse. \"I will have them turned out--\" \"Buzz! Buzz!Buzzz!\"--\"I wonder who would help me?\" \"Bizz, Wizz, Wizzz!\"--\"I will not have Mr.Jackson; he never wipes his feet.\"Mrs. Tittlemouse decided to leave the bees till after dinner.When she got back to the parlour, she heard some one coughing in afatvoice; and there sat Mr. Jackson himself!He was sitting all over a small rocking-chair, twiddling his thumbs andsmiling, with his feet on the fender.He lived in adrain below the hedge, in a very dirty wet ditch.[Illustration: Mr. Jackson][Illustration: Sitting and dripping]\"How do you do, Mr. Jackson? Deary me, you havegot very wet!\"\"Thank you, thank you, thank you, Mrs. Tittlemouse! I'll sit awhile anddry myself,\" said Mr. Jackson.He sat and smiled, and the water dripped offhis coat tails. Mrs.Tittlemouse went round with a mop.He sat such a while that he had to be asked if he would take somedinner?First she offered himcherry-stones. \"Thank you, thank you, Mrs.Tittlemouse! No teeth, no teeth, no teeth!\" said Mr. Jackson.He opened his mouth most unnecessarily wide; hecertainly had not atooth in his head.[Illustration: Feeding Mr. Jackson][Illustration: Thistledown]Then she offered him thistle-down seed--\"Tiddly, widdly, widdly!Pouff,pouff, puff!\" said Mr. Jackson. He blew the thistle-down all over theroom.\"Thank you, thank you, thank you, Mrs. Tittlemouse! Now what Ireally--_really_should like--would be a little dish of honey!\"\"I am afraid I have not got any, Mr. Jackson,\" said Mrs. Tittlemouse.\"Tiddly, widdly, widdly, Mrs. Tittlemouse!\" saidthe smiling Mr.Jackson, \"I can _smell_ it; that is why I came to call.\"Mr. Jackson rose ponderously from the table, and began to look into thecupboards.Mrs.Tittlemouse followed him with a dish-cloth, to wipe his large wetfootmarks off the parlour floor.[Illustration: Wiping up footmarks][Illustration: Walking down thepassage]When he had convinced himself that there was no honey in the cupboards,he began to walk down the passage.\"Indeed, indeed, you will stick fast, Mr.Jackson!\"\"Tiddly, widdly, widdly, Mrs. Tittlemouse!\"First he squeezed into the pantry.\"Tiddly, widdly, widdly? no honey? no honey, Mrs. Tittlemouse?\"There werethree creepy-crawly people hiding in the plate-rack. Two ofthem got away; but the littlest one he caught.[Illustration: Creepy-crawly people][Illustration:Butterfly tasting the sugar]Then he squeezed into the larder. Miss Butterfly was tasting the sugar;but she flew away out of the window.\"Tiddly, widdly, widdly,Mrs. Tittlemouse; you seem to have plenty ofvisitors!\"\"And without any invitation!\" said Mrs. Thomasina Tittlemouse.They went along the sandy passage--\"Tiddlywiddly--\" \"Buzz! Wizz! Wizz!\"He met Babbitty round a corner, and snapped her up, and put her downagain.\"I do not like bumble bees. They are all over bristles,\"said Mr.Jackson, wiping his mouth with his coat-sleeve.\"Get out, you nasty old toad!\" shrieked Babbitty Bumble.\"I shall go distracted!\" scolded Mrs.Tittlemouse.[Illustration: Confronting the Bee][Illustration: Shut into the nut-cellar]She shut herself up in the nut-cellar while Mr. Jackson pulled outthebees-nest. He seemed to have no objection to stings.When Mrs. Tittlemouse ventured to come out--everybody had gone away.But the untidiness wassomething dreadful--\"Never did I see such amess--smears of honey; and moss, and thistledown--and marks of big andlittle dirty feet--all over my nice cleanhouse!\"She gathered up the moss and the remains of the beeswax.Then she went out and fetched some twigs, to partly close up the frontdoor.\"I will make it toosmall for Mr. Jackson!\"[Illustration: Closing up the front door][Illustration: Too tired]She fetched soft soap, and flannel, and a new scrubbing brush fromthestoreroom. But she was too tired to do any more. First she fell asleepin her chair, and then she went to bed.\"Will it ever be tidy again?\" said poor Mrs.Tittlemouse.Next morning she got up very early and began a spring cleaning whichlasted a fortnight.She swept, and scrubbed, and dusted; and she rubbed upthe furniturewith beeswax, and polished her little tin spoons.[Illustration: Polishing]When it was all beautifully neat and clean, she gave a party to fiveother littlemice, without Mr. Jackson.He smelt the party and came up the bank, but he could not squeeze in atthe door.[Illustration: The party][Illustration: Honey-dewthrough the window]So they handed him out acorn-cupfuls of honey-dew through the window,and he was not at all offended.He sat outside in the sun, andsaid--\"Tiddly, widdly, widdly!

Zolaâ\u0000\u0000s â\u0000\u0000Rougon-Macquartâ\u0000\u0000 series;but in the amended and final scheme of that great literary undertaking,itoccupies the ninth place. It proceeds from the sixth volume of theseries, â\u0000\u0000The Conquest of Plassans;â\u0000\u0000 which is followed by the two worksthat deal withthe career of Octave Mouret, Abbe Serge Mouretâ\u0000\u0000s elderbrother. In â\u0000\u0000The Conquest of Plassans,â\u0000\u0000 Serge and his half-wittedsister, Desiree, are seen inchildhood at their home in Plassans, whichis wrecked by the doings of a certain Abbe Faujas and his relatives.Serge Mouret grows up, is called by an instinctivevocation to thepriesthood, and becomes parish priest of Les Artaud, a well-nigh paganhamlet in one of those bare, burning stretches of country withwhichProvence abounds. And here it is that â\u0000\u0000La Faute de lâ\u0000\u0000Abbe Mouretâ\u0000\u0000 opensin the old ruinous church, perched upon a hillock in full view ofthesqualid village, the arid fields, and the great belts of rock which shutin the landscape all around.There are two elements in this remarkable story, which, fromthestandpoint of literary style, has never been excelled by anything thatM. Zola has since written; and one may glance at it therefore from twopoints of view.Taking it under its sociological and religious aspect,it will be found to be an indirect indictment of the celibacy of thepriesthood; that celibacy, contrary toNatureâ\u0000\u0000s fundamental law, whichassuredly has largely influenced the destinies of the Roman CatholicChurch. To that celibacy, and to all the evils that havesprang fromit, may be ascribed much of the irreligion current in France to-day.The periodical reports on criminality issued by the French Ministers ofJustice sincethe foundation of the Republic in 1871, supply materialsfor a most formidable indictment of that vow of perpetual chastity whichRome exacts from her clergy.Nowadays it is undoubtedly too late forRome to go back upon that vow and thereby transform the whole of hersacerdotal organisation; but, perhaps, had shedone so in past times,before the spirit of inquiry and free examination came into being, shemight have assured herself many more centuries of supremacy thanhavefallen to her lot. But she has ever sought to dissociate the law of theDivinity from the law of Nature, as though indeed the latter were butthe invention of theFiend.Abbe Mouret, M. Zolaâ\u0000\u0000s hero, finds himself placed between the law ofthe Divinity and the law of Nature: and the struggle waged within him bythose twoforces is a terrible one. That which training has implantedin his mind proves the stronger, and, so far as the canons of the Churchcan warrant it, he saves his soul.But the problem is not quite franklyput by M. Zola; for if Abbe Mouret transgresses he does so unwittingly,at a time when he is unconscious of his priesthood andhas no memory ofany vow. When the truth flashes upon him he is horrified with himself,and forthwith returns to the Church. A further struggle betweenthecontending forces then certainly ensues, and ends in the final victoryof the Church. But it must at least be said that in the lapses whichoccur in real life amongthe Roman priesthood, the circumstances arealtogether different from those which M. Zola has selected for hisstory.The truth is that in â\u0000\u0000La Faute delâ\u0000\u0000Abbe Mouret,â\u0000\u0000 betwixt lifelikeglimpses of French rural life, the author transports us to a realm ofpoesy and imagination. This is, indeed, so true that hehas introducedinto his work all the ideas on which he had based an early unfinishedpoem called â\u0000\u0000Genesis.â\u0000\u0000 He carries us to an enchanted garden,theParadou--a name which one need hardly say is Provencal forParadise*--and there Serge Mouret, on recovering from brain fever,becomes, as it were, a new Adamby the side of a new Eve, the fair andwinsome Albine. All this part of the book, then, is poetry in prose.The author has remembered the ties which link Rousseauto the realisticschool of fiction, and, as in the pages of Jean-Jacques, trees, springs,mountains, rocks, and flowers become animated beings and claim theirplacein the worldâ\u0000\u0000s mechanism. One may indeed go back far beyondRousseau, even to Lucretius himself; for more than once we areirresistibly reminded ofLucretian scenes, above which through M. Zolaâ\u0000\u0000spages there seems to hover the pronouncement of Sophocles:     No ordinance of man shall override     Thesettled laws of Nature and of God;     Not written these in pages of a book,     Nor were they framed to-day, nor yesterday;     We know not whence they are; butthis we know,     That they from all eternity have been,     And shall to all eternity endure.  * There is a village called Paradou in Provence, between    Les Bauxand Arles.And if we pass to the young pair whose duo of love is sung amidst thevaried voices of creation, we are irresistibly reminded of the Pauland Virginia ofSt. Pierre, and the Daphnis and Chloe of Longus. Besidethem, in their marvellous garden, lingers a memory too of Manon andDes Grieux, with a suggestion ofLauzun and a glimpse of the art ofFragonard. All combine, all contribute--from the great classics to theeighteenth century _petits maitres_--to build up a story ofloveâ\u0000\u0000s risein the human breast in answer to Natureâ\u0000\u0000s promptings.M. Zola wrote â\u0000\u0000La Faute de lâ\u0000\u0000Abbe Mouretâ\u0000\u0000 one summer under the treesofhis garden, mindful the while of gardens that he had known in childhood:the flowery expanse which had stretched before his grandmotherâ\u0000\u0000s homeatPont-au-Beraud and the wild estate of Galice, between Roquefavour andAix-en-Provence, through which he had roamed as a lad with friends thenboys likehimself: Professor Baille and Cezanne, the painter. And intohis description of the wondrous Paradou he has put all his remembranceof the gardens and woods ofProvence, where many a plant and flowerthrive with a luxuriance unknown to England. True, in order to refreshhis memory and avoid mistakes, he consultedvarious horticulturalmanuals whilst he was writing; of which circumstance captious criticshave readily laid hold, to proclaim that the description of the Paradouis amere floristâ\u0000\u0000s catalogue.But it is nothing of the kind. The florist who might dare to offersuch a catalogue to the public would be speedily assailed by allthehorticultural journalists of England and all the customers of villadom.For M. Zola avails himself of a poetâ\u0000\u0000s license to crowd marvel uponmarvel, toexaggerate natureâ\u0000\u0000s forces, to transform the tiniest bloomsinto giant examples of efflorescence, and to mingle even the seasonsone with the other. But allthis was premeditated; there was a picturebefore his mindâ\u0000\u0000s eye, and that picture he sought to trace with his pen,regardless of all possible objections. It isthe poetâ\u0000\u0000s privilege todo this and even to be admired for it. It would be easy for some leanedbotanist, some expert zoologist, to demolish Milton from thestandpointof their respective sciences, but it would be absurd to do so. We ask ofthe poet the flowers of his imagination, and the further he carries usfrom thesordid realities, the limited possibilities of life, the moreare we grateful to him.And M. Zolaâ\u0000\u0000s Paradou is a flight of fancy, even as its mistress, thefair, loving,guileless Albine, whose smiles and whose tears alike goto our hearts, is the daughter of imagination. She is a flower--the veryflower of lifeâ\u0000\u0000s youth--in themidst of all the blossoms of hergarden. She unfolds to life and to love even as they unfold; she lovesrapturously even as they do under the sun and the azure;and she dieswith them when the sunâ\u0000\u0000s caress is gone and the chill of winter hasfallen. At the thought of her, one instinctively remembersMalherbeâ\u0000\u0000sâ\u0000\u0000Ode A Du Perrier:â\u0000\u0000     She to this earth belonged, where beauty fast          To direst fate is borne:     A rose, she lasted, as the roseslast,          Only for one brief morn.French painters have made subjects of many episodes in M. Zolaâ\u0000\u0000sworks, but none has been more popular with them thanAlbineâ\u0000\u0000s pathetic,perfumed death amidst the flowers. I know several paintings of greatmerit which that touching incident has inspired.Albine, if more or lessunreal, a phantasm, the spirit as it were ofNature incarnate in womanhood, is none the less the most delightful ofM. Zolaâ\u0000\u0000s heroines. She smiles at us like thevision of perfect beautyand perfect love which rises before us when our hearts are yet young andfull of illusions. She is the ideal, the very quintessence ofwoman.In Serge Mouret, her lover, we find a man who, in more than one respect,recalls M. Zolaâ\u0000\u0000s later hero, the Abbe Froment of â\u0000\u0000Lourdesâ\u0000\u0000 andâ\u0000\u0000Rome.â\u0000\u0000He has the same loving, yearning nature; he is born--absolutely likeAbbe Froment--of an unbelieving father and a mother of mystical mind.Butunlike Froment he cannot shake off the shackles of his priesthood.Reborn to life after his dangerous illness, he relapses into thereligion of death, the religionwhich regards life as impurity, whichdenies Natureâ\u0000\u0000s laws, and so often wrecks human existence, as ifindeed that had been the Divine purpose in setting manupon earth. Hisstruggles suggest various passages in â\u0000\u0000Lourdesâ\u0000\u0000 and â\u0000\u0000Rome.â\u0000\u0000 In fact, inwriting those works, M. Zola must have had his earliercreation inmind. There are passages in â\u0000\u0000La Faute de lâ\u0000\u0000Abbe Mouretâ\u0000\u0000 culled from thewritings of the Spanish Jesuit Fathers and the â\u0000\u0000Imitationâ\u0000\u0000of Thomasa Kempis that recur almost word for word in the Trilogy of the ThreeCities. Some might regard this as evidence of the limitation of M.Zolaâ\u0000\u0000spowers, but I think differently. I consider that he has in bothinstances designedly taken the same type of priest in order to show howhe may live under variedcircumstances; for in the earlier instancehe has led him to one goal, and in the later one to another. And thepassages of prayer, entreaty, and spiritual conflictsimply recurbecause they are germane, even necessary, to the subject in both cases.Of the minor characters that figure in â\u0000\u0000La Faute de lâ\u0000\u0000AbbeMouretâ\u0000\u0000 thechief thing to be said is that they are lifelike. If Serge is almostwholly spiritual, if Albine is the daughter of poesy, they, the others,are of the earthearthy. As a result of their appearance on the scene,there are some powerful contrasting passages in the book. Archangias,the coarse and brutal ChristianBrother who serves as a foil to AbbeMouret; La Teuse, the priestâ\u0000\u0000s garrulous old housekeeper; Desiree, hisâ\u0000\u0000innocentâ\u0000\u0000 sister, a grown woman with the"}

Every one has heard of the apewho, in trying to pull onhis boots, was caught by the foot. And it happened in like manner to awretched slave, who, although she never had shoes to her feet,wantedto wear a crown on her head. But the straight road is the best; and,sooner or later, a day comes which settles all accounts. At last,having by evil meansusurped what belonged to another, she fell to theground; and the higher she had mounted, the greater was her fall--asyou shall see.Once upon a time the King ofWoody Valley had a daughter named Zoza,who was never seen to laugh. The unhappy father, who had no othercomfort in life but this only daughter, left nothinguntried to driveaway her melancholy. So he sent for folks who walk on stilts, fellowswho jump through hoops, for boxers, for conjurers, for jugglers whoperformsleight-of-hand tricks, for strong men, for dancing dogs, forleaping clowns, for the donkey that drinks out of a tumbler--in short,he tried first one thing and thenanother to make her laugh. But allwas time lost, for nothing could bring a smile to her lips.So at length the poor father, at wit's end, and to make a lasttrial,ordered a large fountain of oil to be set in front of the palace gates,thinking to himself that when the oil ran down the street, along whichthe people passedlike a troop of ants, they would be obliged, in ordernot to soil their clothes, to skip like grasshoppers, leap like goats,and run like hares; while one would gopicking and choosing his way,and another go creeping along the wall. In short, he hoped thatsomething might come to pass to make his daughter laugh.So thefountain was made; and as Zoza was one day standing at thewindow, grave and demure, and looking as sour as vinegar, there came bychance an old woman,who, soaking up the oil with a sponge, began tofill a little pitcher which she had brought with her. And as she waslabouring hard at this ingenious device, a youngpage of the courtpassing by threw a stone so exactly to a hair that he hit the pitcherand broke it to pieces. Whereupon the old woman, who had no hair onhertongue, turned to the page, full of wrath, and exclaimed, \"Ah, youimpertinent young dog, you mule, you gallows-rope, you spindle-legs!Ill luck to you! Mayyou be pierced by a Catalan lance! May a thousandills befall you and something more to boot, you thief, you knave!\"The lad, who had little beard and lessdiscretion, hearing this stringof abuse, repaid the old woman in her own coin, saying, \"Have you done,you grandmother of witches, you old hag, youchild-strangler!\"When the old woman heard these compliments she flew into such a ragethat, losing hold of the bridle and escaping from the stable ofpatience,she acted as if she were mad, cutting capers in the air andgrinning like an ape. At this strange spectacle Zoza burst into such afit of laughter that she well-nighfainted away. But when the old womansaw herself played this trick, she flew into a passion, and turning afierce look on Zoza she exclaimed: \"May you never havethe least littlebit of a husband, unless you take the Prince of Round-Field.\"Upon hearing this, Zoza ordered the old woman to be called; and desiredto knowwhether, in her words, she had laid on her a curse, or had onlymeant to insult her. And the old woman answered, \"Know then, that thePrince of whom I spoke is amost handsome creature, and is namedTaddeo, who, by the wicked spell of a fairy, having given the lasttouch to the picture of life, has been placed in a tomboutside thewalls of the city; and there is an inscription upon a stone, sayingthat whatever woman shall in three days fill with tears a pitcher thathangs there upona hook will bring the Prince to life and shall takehim for a husband. But as it is impossible for two human eyes to weepso much as to fill a pitcher that would holdhalf a barrel, I havewished you this wish in return for your scoffing and jeering at me. AndI pray that it may come to pass, to avenge the wrong you have doneme.\"So saying, she scuttled down the stairs, for fear of a beating.Zoza pondered over the words of the old woman, and after turning over ahundred thoughts inher mind, until her head was like a mill full ofdoubts, she was at last struck by a dart of the passion that blinds thejudgment and puts a spell on the reasoning ofman. She took a handfulof dollars from her father's coffers and left the palace, walking onand on, until she arrived at the castle of a fairy, to whomsheunburdened her heart. The fairy, out of pity for such a fair younggirl, who had two spurs to make her fall--little help and much love foran unknownobject--gave her a letter of recommendation to a sister ofhers, who was also a fairy. And this second fairy received her likewisewith great kindness; and on thefollowing morning, when Night commandsthe birds to proclaim that whoever has seen a flock of black shadowsgone astray shall be well rewarded, she gave her abeautiful walnut,saying, \"Take this, my dear daughter, and keep it carefully; but neveropen it, but in time of the greatest need.\" And then she gave her alsoaletter, commending her to another sister.After journeying a long way, Zoza arrived at this fairy's castle, andwas received with the same affection. And the nextmorning this fairylikewise gave her a letter to another sister, together with a chestnut,cautioning her in the same manner. Then Zoza travelled on to thenextcastle, where she was received with a thousand caresses and given afilbert, which she was never to open, unless the greatest necessityobliged her. So sheset out upon her journey, and passed so manyforests and rivers, that at the end of seven years, just at the time ofday when the Sun, awakened by the coming ofthe cocks, has saddled hissteed to run his accustomed stages, she arrived almost lame atRound-Field.There, at the entrance to the city, she saw a marble tomb,at the footof a fountain, which was weeping tears of crystal at seeing itself shutup in a porphyry prison. And, lifting up the pitcher, she placed it inher lap andbegan to weep into it, imitating the fountain to make twolittle fountains of her eyes. And thus she continued without everraising her head from the mouth of thepitcher--until, at the end oftwo days, it was full within two inches of the top. But, being weariedwith so much weeping, she was unawares overtaken by sleep, andwasobliged to rest for an hour or so under the canopy of her eyes.Meanwhile a certain Slave, with the legs of a grasshopper, came, as shewas wont, to thefountain, to fill her water-cask. Now she knew themeaning of the fountain which was talked of everywhere; and when shesaw Zoza weeping so incessantly, andmaking two little streams from hereyes, she was always watching and spying until the pitcher should befull enough for her to add the last drops to it; and thus toleave Zozacheated of her hopes. Now, therefore, seeing Zoza asleep, she seizedher opportunity; and dexterously removing the pitcher from under Zoza,andplacing her own eyes over it, she filled it in four seconds. Buthardly was it full, when the Prince arose from the white marble shrine,as if awakened from a deepsleep, and embraced that mass of dark flesh,and carried her straightways to his palace; feasts and marvellousilluminations were made, and he took her for hiswife.When Zoza awoke and saw the pitcher gone, and her hopes with it, andthe shrine open, her heart grew so heavy that she was on the point ofunpacking thebales of her soul at the custom-house of Death. But, atlast, seeing that there was no help for her misfortune, and that shecould only blame her own eyes, whichhad served her so ill, she wenther way, step by step, into the city. And when she heard of the feastswhich the Prince had made, and the dainty creature he hadmarried, sheinstantly knew how all this mischief had come to pass; and said toherself, sighing, \"Alas, two dark things have brought me to theground,--sleep anda black slave!\" Then she took a fine house facingthe palace of the Prince; from whence, though she could not see theidol of her heart, she could at least look uponthe walls wherein whatshe sighed for was enclosed.But Taddeo, who was constantly flying like a bat round that black nightof a Slave, chanced to perceive Zozaand was entranced with her beauty.When the Slave saw this she was beside herself with rage, and vowedthat if Taddeo did not leave the window, she would killher baby whenit was born.Taddeo, who was anxiously desiring an heir, was afraid to offend hiswife and tore himself away from the sight of Zoza; who seeingthislittle balm for the sickness of her hopes taken away from her, knewnot, at first, what to do. But, recollecting the fairies' gifts, sheopened the walnut, and outof it hopped a little dwarf like a doll, themost graceful toy that was ever seen in the world. Then, seatinghimself upon the window, the dwarf began to sing withsuch a trill andgurgling, that he seemed a veritable king of the birds.The Slave, when she saw and heard this, was so enraptured that, callingTaddeo, she said,\"Bring me the little fellow who is singing yonder, orI will kill the child when it is born.\" So the Prince, who allowed thisugly woman to put the saddle on his back,sent instantly to Zoza, toask if she would not sell the dwarf. Zoza answered she was not amerchant, but that he was welcome to it as a gift. So Taddeoacceptedthe offer, for he was anxious to keep his wife in good humour.Four days after this, Zoza opened the chestnut, when out came a henwith twelve littlechickens, all of pure gold, and, being placed on thewindow, the Slave saw them and took a vast fancy to them; and callingTaddeo, she showed him the beautifulsight, and again ordered him toprocure the hen and chickens for her. So Taddeo, who let himself becaught in the web, and become the sport of the ugly creature,"}

Whatunimaginable power were theydefending against? Why was it abandoned? There was no answer, all wasdead.But--not quite all.For in a room above the tomb-likefortress a powerful transmitterbeamed its birdlike, fluting sounds toward earth. Near it, on a hugestar-map of the universe, with light-years measured by inches,ten tinyred sparks were moving, crawling inexorably toward the center.Moving, at many times the speed of light, with the acquired massof suns ... moving, on acourse that would pass through the solarsystem.The unknown aliens would not even see our sun explode from the forceof their passing, would not even noticethe tiny speck called Earth asit died....       *       *       *       *       *Chapter 1The signals from space began a little after midnight, local time, on aFriday. Theywere first picked up in the South Pacific, just westwardof the International Date Line. A satellite-watching station on anisland named Kalua was the first to receivethem, though nobody heardthe first four or five minutes. But it is certain that the very firstmessage was picked up and recorded by the monitor instruments.Thesatellite-tracking unit on Kalua was practically a duplicate ofall its fellows. There was the station itself with a vertical antennaoutside pointing at the stars. Therewere various lateral antennaeheld two feet above ground by concrete posts. In the instrument roomin the building a light burned over a desk, three or fourmonitorlights glowed dimly to indicate that the self-recording instrumentswere properly operating, and there was a multiple-channel tape recorderbuilt into thewall. Its twin tape reels turned sedately, winding abrown plastic ribbon from one to the other at a moderate pace.The staff man on duty had gone to theinstallation's kitchen for a cupof coffee. No sound originated in the room, unless one counted thefluttering of a piece of weighted-down paper on the desk.Outside,palm trees whispered and rustled their long fronds in the southeasttrade wind under a sky full of glittering stars. Beyond, there wasthe dull booming ofsurf upon the barrier reef of the island. But theinstruments made no sound. Only the tape reels moved.The signals began abruptly. They came out of a speakerand wereinstantly recorded. They were elfin and flutelike and musical. Theywere crisp and distinct. They did not form a melody, but nearly all thecomponents ofmelody were there. Pure musical notes, each with its ownpitch, all of different lengths, like quarter-notes and eighth-notesin music. The sounds needed onlyrhythm and arrangement to form aplaintive tune.Nothing happened. The sounds continued for something over a minute.They stopped long enough to seem tohave ended. Then they began again.When the staff man came back into the room with a coffee cup in hishand, he heard the flutings instantly. His jaw dropped.He said, \"Whatthe hell?\" and went to look at the instruments. He spilled some of hiscoffee when he saw their readings.The tracking dials said that the signalscame from a stationary sourcealmost directly overhead. If they were from a stationary source,no plane was transmitting them. Nor could they be coming fromanartificial satellite. A plane would move at a moderate pace across thesky. A satellite would move faster. Much faster. This source, accordingto the instruments,did not move at all.The staff man listened with a blank expression on his face. There wasbut one rational explanation, which he did not credit for an instant.Thereasonable answer would have been that somebody, somewhere, had puta satellite out into an orbit requiring twenty-four hours for a circuitof the earth, insteadof the ninety to one-hundred-twenty-four-minuteorbits of the satellites known to sweep around the world from westto east and pole to pole. But the piping,musical sounds were notthe sort of thing that modern physicists would have contrived tocarry information about cosmic-particle frequency, spacetemperature,micrometeorites, and the like.The signals stopped again, and again resumed. The staff man wasgalvanized into activity. He rushed to waken othermembers of theoutpost. When he got back, the signals continued for a minute andstopped altogether. But they were recorded on tape, with theinstrumentreadings that had been made during their duration. The staff man playedthe tape back for his companions.They felt as he did. These were signals fromspace where man had neverbeen. They had listened to the first message ever to reach mankind fromthe illimitable emptiness between the stars and planets. Manwas notalone. Man was no longer isolated. Man....The staff of the tracking station was very much upset. Most of themen were white-faced by the time the tapedmessage had been re-playedthrough to its end. They were frightened.Considering everything, they had every reason to be.The second pick-up was in Darjeeling,in northern India. The Indiangovernment was then passing through one of its periods of enthusiasticinterest in science. It had set up a satellite-observation postin aformer British cavalry stable on the outskirts of the town. The actinghead of the observing staff happened to hear the second broadcast toreach Earth. Itarrived some seventy-nine minutes after the firstreception, and it was picked up by two stations, Kalua and Darjeeling.The Darjeeling observer was incredulous atwhat he heard--fiverepetitions of the same sequence of flutelike notes. After eachpause--when it seemed that the signals had stopped before they actuallydidso--the reception was exactly the same as the one before. Itwas inconceivable that such a succession of sounds, lasting a fullminute, could be exactly repeated byany natural chain of events. Fiverepetitions were out of the question. The notes were signals. They werea communication which was repeated to be sure it wasreceived.The third broadcast was heard in Lebanon in addition to Kalua andDarjeeling. Reception in all three places was simultaneous. A signalfrom a nearbysatellite could not possibly have been picked up so fararound the Earth's curvature. The widening of the area of reception,too, proved that there was no newsatellite aloft with an orbit periodof exactly twenty-four hours, so that it hung motionless in the skyrelative to Earth. Tracking observations, in fact, showed thesource ofthe signals to move westward, as time passed, with the apparent motionof a star. No satellite of Earth could possibly exist with such anorbit unless itwas close enough to show a detectable parallax. Thisdid not.A French station picked up the next batch of plaintive sounds. Kalua,Darjeeling, and Lebanon stillreceived. By the time the next signal wasdue, Croydon, in England, had its giant radar-telescope trained on thepart of the sky from which all the tracking stationsagreed the signalscame.Croydon painstakingly made observations during four seventy-nine-minuteintervals and four five-minute receptions of the fluting noises.Itreported that there was a source of artificial signals at an extremelygreat distance, position right ascension so-and-so, declinationsuch-and-such. The signalsbegan every seventy-nine minutes. They couldbe heard by any receiving instrument capable of handling the microwavefrequency involved. The broadcast wasextremely broad-band. It coveredmore than two octaves and sharp tuning was not necessary. A man-madesignal would have been confined to as narrow awave-band as possible,to save power for one reason, so it could not be imagined that thesignal was anything but artificial. Yet no Earth science could havesent atransmitter out so far.When sunrise arrived at the tracking station on Kalua, it ceased toreceive from space. On the other hand, tracking stations in theUnitedStates, the Antilles, and South America began to pick up the crypticsounds.The first released news of the happening was broadcast in the UnitedStates. Inthe South Pacific and India and the Near East and Europe,the whole matter seemed too improbable for the notification of thepublic. News pressure in the UnitedStates, though, is very great. Herethe news rated broadcast, and got it.That was why Joe Burke did not happen to complete the business forwhich he'd takenSandy Lund to a suitable, romantic spot. She was hissecretary and the only permanent employee in the highly individualbusiness he'd begun and operated. He'dknown her all his life, andit seemed to him that for most of it he'd wanted to marry her. Butsomething had happened to him when he was quite a small boy--andstillhappened at intervals--which interposed a mental block. He'd alwayswanted to be romantic with her, but there was a matter of two moonsin a strange-starredsky, and trees with foliage like none on Earth,and an overwhelming emotion. There was no rational explanation for it.There could be none. Often he'd told himselfthat Sandy was real andutterly desirable, and this lunatic repetitive experience was at worstinsanity and at the least delusion. But he'd never been able to domorethan stammer when talk between them went away from matter-of-factthings.Tonight, though, he'd parked his car where a river sparkled in themoonlight. Therewas a scent of pine and arbutus in the air and a faintthread of romantic music came from his car's radio. He'd brought Sandyhere to propose to her. He wasdoggedly resolved to break the chains apsychological oddity had tied him up in.He cleared his throat. He'd taken Sandy out to dinner, ostensibly tocelebrate thecompletion of a development job for Interiors, Inc. Burkehad started Burke Development, Inc., some four years out of collegewhen he found he didn't likeworking for other people and could workfor himself. Its function was to develop designs and processes forcompanies too small to have research-and-development"}

John Hathorne (as thename was then spelled), thegreat-grandfather of Nathaniel Hawthorne,was a magistrate at Salem in the latter part of the seventeenthcentury, and officiated at the famous trials for witchcraftheld there.It is of record that he used peculiar severity towards a certain womanwho was among the accused; and the husband of this woman prophesiedthat Godwould take revenge upon his wife's persecutors.  Thiscircumstance doubtless furnished a hint for that piece of tradition inthe book which represents a Pyncheon ofa former generation as havingpersecuted one Maule, who declared that God would give his enemy \"bloodto drink.\" It became a conviction with the Hawthornefamily that acurse had been pronounced upon its members, which continued in force inthe time of the romancer; a conviction perhaps derived from therecordedprophecy of the injured woman's husband, just mentioned; and,here again, we have a correspondence with Maule's malediction in thestory. Furthermore, thereoccurs in the \"American Note-Books\" (August27, 1837), a reminiscence of the author's family, to the followingeffect. Philip English, a character well-known inearly Salem annals,was among those who suffered from John Hathorne's magisterialharshness, and he maintained in consequence a lasting feud with theoldPuritan official. But at his death English left daughters, one of whomis said to have married the son of Justice John Hathorne, whom Englishhad declared hewould never forgive. It is scarcely necessary to pointout how clearly this foreshadows the final union of those hereditaryfoes, the Pyncheons and Maules, throughthe marriage of Phoebe andHolgrave. The romance, however, describes the Maules as possessing someof the traits known to have been characteristic of theHawthornes: forexample, \"so long as any of the race were to be found, they had beenmarked out from other men--not strikingly, nor as with a sharp line,but withan effect that was felt rather than spoken of--by anhereditary characteristic of reserve.\" Thus, while the generalsuggestion of the Hawthorne line and its fortuneswas followed in theromance, the Pyncheons taking the place of the author's family, certaindistinguishing marks of the Hawthornes were assigned to theimaginaryMaule posterity.There are one or two other points which indicate Hawthorne's method ofbasing his compositions, the result in the main of pureinvention, onthe solid ground of particular facts.  Allusion is made, in the firstchapter of the \"Seven Gables,\" to a grant of lands in Waldo County,Maine, owned bythe Pyncheon family.  In the \"American Note-Books\"there is an entry, dated August 12, 1837, which speaks of theRevolutionary general, Knox, and his land-grantin Waldo County, byvirtue of which the owner had hoped to establish an estate on theEnglish plan, with a tenantry to make it profitable for him.  Anincident ofmuch greater importance in the story is the supposed murderof one of the Pyncheons by his nephew, to whom we are introduced asClifford Pyncheon.  In allprobability Hawthorne connected with this,in his mind, the murder of Mr. White, a wealthy gentleman of Salem,killed by a man whom his nephew had hired.  Thistook place a few yearsafter Hawthorne's graduation from college, and was one of thecelebrated cases of the day, Daniel Webster taking part prominently inthetrial.  But it should be observed here that such resemblances asthese between sundry elements in the work of Hawthorne's fancy anddetails of reality are onlyfragmentary, and are rearranged to suit theauthor's purposes.In the same way he has made his description of Hepzibah Pyncheon'sseven-gabled mansionconform so nearly to several old dwellingsformerly or still extant in Salem, that strenuous efforts have beenmade to fix upon some one of them as the veritableedifice of theromance.  A paragraph in the opening chapter has perhaps assisted thisdelusion that there must have been a single original House of theSevenGables, framed by flesh-and-blood carpenters; for it runs thus:--\"Familiar as it stands in the writer's recollection--for it has been anobject of curiosity withhim from boyhood, both as a specimen of thebest and stateliest architecture of a long-past epoch, and as the sceneof events more full of interest perhaps thanthose of a gray feudalcastle--familiar as it stands, in its rusty old age, it is thereforeonly the more difficult to imagine the bright novelty with which itfirst caughtthe sunshine.\"Hundreds of pilgrims annually visit a house in Salem, belonging to onebranch of the Ingersoll family of that place, which is stoutlymaintained tohave been the model for Hawthorne's visionary dwelling.Others have supposed that the now vanished house of the identicalPhilip English, whose blood, as wehave already noticed, became mingledwith that of the Hawthornes, supplied the pattern; and still a thirdbuilding, known as the Curwen mansion, has beendeclared the onlygenuine establishment. Notwithstanding persistent popular belief, theauthenticity of all these must positively be denied; although it ispossiblethat isolated reminiscences of all three may have blended withthe ideal image in the mind of Hawthorne. He, it will be seen, remarksin the Preface, alluding tohimself in the third person, that he trustsnot to be condemned for \"laying out a street that infringes uponnobody's private rights... and building a house ofmaterials long inuse for constructing castles in the air.\" More than this, he stated topersons still living that the house of the romance was not copied fromanyactual edifice, but was simply a general reproduction of a style ofarchitecture belonging to colonial days, examples of which survivedinto the period of his youth,but have since been radically modified ordestroyed. Here, as elsewhere, he exercised the liberty of a creativemind to heighten the probability of his pictureswithout confininghimself to a literal description of something he had seen.While Hawthorne remained at Lenox, and during the composition of thisromance,various other literary personages settled or stayed for a timein the vicinity; among them, Herman Melville, whose intercourseHawthorne greatly enjoyed, HenryJames, Sr., Doctor Holmes, J.  T.Headley, James Russell Lowell, Edwin P.  Whipple, Frederika Bremer, andJ.  T.  Fields; so that there was no lack of intellectualsociety inthe midst of the beautiful and inspiring mountain scenery of the place.\"In the afternoons, nowadays,\" he records, shortly before beginning thework, \"thisvalley in which I dwell seems like a vast basin filled withgolden Sunshine as with wine;\" and, happy in the companionship of hiswife and their three children, heled a simple, refined, idyllic life,despite the restrictions of a scanty and uncertain income.  A letterwritten by Mrs. Hawthorne, at this time, to a member of herfamily,gives incidentally a glimpse of the scene, which may properly find aplace here.  She says:  \"I delight to think that you also can lookforth, as I do now, upona broad valley and a fine amphitheater ofhills, and are about to watch the stately ceremony of the sunset fromyour piazza.  But you have not this lovely lake, nor,I suppose, thedelicate purple mist which folds these slumbering mountains in airyveils.  Mr. Hawthorne has been lying down in the sun shine, slightlyfleckeredwith the shadows of a tree, and Una and Julian have beenmaking him look like the mighty Pan, by covering his chin and breastwith long grass-blades, that lookedlike a verdant and venerablebeard.\" The pleasantness and peace of his surroundings and of hismodest home, in Lenox, may be taken into account as harmonizingwiththe mellow serenity of the romance then produced.  Of the work, when itappeared in the early spring of 1851, he wrote to Horatio Bridge thesewords, nowpublished for the first time:--\"'The House of the Seven Gables' in my opinion, is better than 'TheScarlet Letter:' but I should not wonder if I had refined upontheprincipal character a little too much for popular appreciation, nor ifthe romance of the book should be somewhat at odds with the humble andfamiliar sceneryin which I invest it.  But I feel that portions of itare as good as anything I can hope to write, and the publisher speaksencouragingly of its success.\"From England,especially, came many warm expressions of praise,--a factwhich Mrs. Hawthorne, in a private letter, commented on as thefulfillment of a possibility whichHawthorne, writing in boyhood to hismother, had looked forward to.  He had asked her if she would not likehim to become an author and have his books read inEngland.G. P. L.                              PREFACE.WHEN a writer calls his work a Romance, it need hardly be observed thathe wishes to claim a certain latitude, bothas to its fashion andmaterial, which he would not have felt himself entitled to assume hadhe professed to be writing a Novel.

The squeak of wheels is seldomheard in thesnow-covered street. There are no lights left in the windows and thestreet lamps have been extinguished. Only the sound of bells, borneover the cityfrom the church towers, suggests the approach of morning.The streets are deserted. At rare intervals a night-cabman's sledgekneads up the snow and sand in thestreet as the driver makes his wayto another corner where he falls asleep while waiting for a fare. Anold woman passes by on her way to church, where a few waxcandles burnwith a red light reflected on the gilt mountings of the icons. Workmenare already getting up after the long winter night and going to theirwork--butfor the gentlefolk it is still evening.From a window in Chevalier's Restaurant a light--illegal at thathour--is still to be seen through a chink in the shutter. Attheentrance a carriage, a sledge, and a cabman's sledge, stand closetogether with their backs to the curbstone. A three-horse sledge fromthe post-station is therealso. A yard-porter muffled up and pinchedwith cold is sheltering behind the corner of the house.'And what's the good of all this jawing?' thinks the footman whositsin the hall weary and haggard. 'This always happens when I'm on duty.'From the adjoining room are heard the voices of three young men,sitting there at atable on which are wine and the remains of supper.One, a rather plain, thin, neat little man, sits looking with tiredkindly eyes at his friend, who is about to starton a journey. Another,a tall man, lies on a sofa beside a table on which are empty bottles,and plays with his watch-key. A third, wearing a short, fur-lined coat,ispacing up and down the room stopping now and then to crack an almondbetween his strong, rather thick, but well-tended fingers. He keepssmiling at somethingand his face and eyes are all aglow. He speakswarmly and gesticulates, but evidently does not find the words he wantsand those that occur to him seem to himinadequate to express what hasrisen to his heart.'Now I can speak out fully,' said the traveller. 'I don't want todefend myself, but I should like you at least tounderstand me as Iunderstand myself, and not look at the matter superficially. You say Ihave treated her badly,' he continued, addressing the man with thekindlyeyes who was watching him.'Yes, you are to blame,' said the latter, and his look seemed toexpress still more kindliness and weariness.'I know why you say that,'rejoined the one who was leaving. 'To beloved is in your opinion as great a happiness as to love, and if a manobtains it, it is enough for his whole life.''Yes, quiteenough, my dear fellow, more than enough!' confirmed theplain little man, opening and shutting his eyes.'But why shouldn't the man love too?' said the travellerthoughtfully,looking at his friend with something like pity. 'Why shouldn't onelove? Because love doesn't come ... No, to be beloved is a misfortune.It is amisfortune to feel guilty because you do not give something youcannot give. O my God!' he added, with a gesture of his arm. 'If it allhappened reasonably, andnot all topsy-turvy--not in our way but in away of its own! Why, it's as if I had stolen that love! You think sotoo, don't deny it. You must think so. But will youbelieve it, of allthe horrid and stupid things I have found time to do in my life--andthere are many--this is one I do not and cannot repent of. Neither atthebeginning nor afterwards did I lie to myself or to her. It seemedto me that I had at last fallen in love, but then I saw that it was aninvoluntary falsehood, and thatthat was not the way to love, and Icould not go on, but she did. Am I to blame that I couldn't? What was Ito do?''Well, it's ended now!' said his friend, lighting acigar to master hissleepiness. 'The fact is that you have not yet loved and do not knowwhat love is.'The man in the fur-lined coat was going to speak again, andput hishands to his head, but could not express what he wanted to say.'Never loved! ... Yes, quite true, I never have! But after all, I havewithin me a desire tolove, and nothing could be stronger than thatdesire! But then, again, does such love exist? There always remainssomething incomplete. Ah well! What's the useof talking? I've made anawful mess of life! But anyhow it's all over now; you are quite right.And I feel that I am beginning a new life.''Which you will again make amess of,' said the man who lay on the sofaplaying with his watch-key. But the traveller did not listen to him.'I am sad and yet glad to go,' he continued. 'Why Iam sad I don'tknow.'And the traveller went on talking about himself, without noticing thatthis did not interest the others as much as it did him. A man isneversuch an egotist as at moments of spiritual ecstasy. At such times itseems to him that there is nothing on earth more splendid andinteresting thanhimself.'Dmitri Andreich! The coachman won't wait any longer!' said a youngserf, entering the room in a sheepskin coat, with a scarf tied roundhis head. 'Thehorses have been standing since twelve, and it's nowfour o'clock!'Dmitri Andreich looked at his serf, Vanyusha. The scarf roundVanyusha's head, his felt bootsand sleepy face, seemed to be callinghis master to a new life of labour, hardship, and activity.'True enough! Good-bye!' said he, feeling for the unfastened hookandeye on his coat.In spite of advice to mollify the coachman by another tip, he put onhis cap and stood in the middle of the room. The friends kissed once,thenagain, and after a pause, a third time. The man in the fur-linedcoat approached the table and emptied a champagne glass, then took theplain little man's handand blushed.'Ah well, I will speak out all the same ... I must and will be frankwith you because I am fond of you ... Of course you love her--I alwaysthoughtso--don't you?''Yes,' answered his friend, smiling still more gently.'And perhaps...''Please sir, I have orders to put out the candles,' said the sleepyattendant, whohad been listening to the last part of the conversationand wondering why gentlefolk always talk about one and the same thing.'To whom shall I make out the bill?To you, sir?' he added, knowingwhom to address and turning to the tall man.'To me,' replied the tall man. 'How much?''Twenty-six rubles.'The tall manconsidered for a moment, but said nothing and put the billin his pocket.The other two continued their talk.'Good-bye, you are a capital fellow!' said the short plainman with themild eyes. Tears filled the eyes of both. They stepped into the porch.'Oh, by the by,' said the traveller, turning with a blush to the tallman, 'will yousettle Chevalier's bill and write and let me know?''All right, all right!' said the tall man, pulling on his gloves. 'HowI envy you!' he added quite unexpectedly whenthey were out in theporch.The traveller got into his sledge, wrapped his coat about him, andsaid: 'Well then, come along!' He even moved a little to make roominthe sledge for the man who said he envied him--his voice trembled.'Good-bye, Mitya! I hope that with God's help you...' said the tallone. But his wish was thatthe other would go away quickly, and so hecould not finish the sentence.They were silent a moment. Then someone again said, 'Good-bye,' and avoice cried,'Ready,' and the coachman touched up the horses.'Hy, Elisar!' One of the friends called out, and the other coachman andthe sledge-drivers began moving,clicking their tongues and pulling atthe reins. Then the stiffened carriage-wheels rolled squeaking over thefrozen snow.'A fine fellow, that Olenin!' said one of thefriends. 'But what anidea to go to the Caucasus--as a cadet, too! I wouldn't do it foranything. ... Are you dining at the club to-morrow?''Yes.'They separated.Thetraveller felt warm, his fur coat seemed too hot. He sat on thebottom of the sledge and unfastened his coat, and the three shaggypost-horses dragged themselvesout of one dark street into another,past houses he had never before seen. It seemed to Olenin that onlytravellers starting on a long journey went through thosestreets. Allwas dark and silent and dull around him, but his soul was full ofmemories, love, regrets, and a pleasant tearful feeling.Chapter II'I'm fond of them,very fond! ... First-rate fellows! ... Fine!' hekept repeating, and felt ready to cry. But why he wanted to cry, whowere the first-rate fellows he was so fond of--wasmore than he quiteknew. Now and then he looked round at some house and wondered why itwas so curiously built; sometimes he began wondering why thepost-boyand Vanyusha, who were so different from himself, sat so near, andtogether with him were being jerked about and swayed by the tugs theside-horsesgave at the frozen traces, and again he repeated: 'Firstrate ... very fond!' and once he even said: 'And how it seizes one ...excellent!' and wondered what madehim say it. 'Dear me, am I drunk?'he asked himself. He had had a couple of bottles of wine, but it wasnot the wine alone that was having this effect on Olenin. Herememberedall the words of friendship heartily, bashfully, spontaneously (as hebelieved) addressed to him on his departure. He remembered the clasp ofhands,glances, the moments of silence, and the sound of a voicesaying, 'Good-bye, Mitya!' when he was already in the sledge. Heremembered his own deliberatefrankness. And all this had a touchingsignificance for him. Not only friends and relatives, not only peoplewho had been indifferent to him, but even those who didnot like him,seemed to have agreed to become fonder of him, or to forgive him,before his departure, as people do before confession or death. 'PerhapsI shall notreturn from the Caucasus,' he thought. And he felt that heloved his friends and some one besides. He was sorry for himself. Butit was not love for his friends thatso stirred and uplifted his heartthat he could not repress the meaningless words that seemed to rise ofthemselves to his lips; nor was it love for a woman (he hadnever yetbeen in love) that had brought on this mood. Love for himself, lovefull of hope--warm young love for all that was good in his own soul(and at thatmoment it seemed to him that there was nothing but good init)--compelled him to weep and to mutter incoherent words.Olenin was a youth who had nevercompleted his university course, neverserved anywhere (having only a nominal post in some government officeor other), who had squandered half his fortuneand had reached the ageof twenty-four without having done anything or even chosen a career. Hewas what in Moscow society is termed un jeune homme.At theage of eighteen he was free--as only rich young Russians in the'forties who had lost their parents at an early age could be. Neitherphysical nor moral fetters ofany kind existed for him; he could do ashe liked, lacking nothing and bound by nothing. Neither relatives, norfatherland, nor religion, nor wants, existed for him."}

Roland, dozingin the stern by the side of Mme. Rosemilly, who hadbeen invited to join the fishing-party, woke up, and turning her head tolook at her husband, said:â\u0000\u0000Well,well! Gerome.â\u0000\u0000And the old fellow replied in a fury:â\u0000\u0000They do not bite at all. I have taken nothing since noon. Only menshould ever go fishing. Womenalways delay the start till it is toolate.â\u0000\u0000His two sons, Pierre and Jean, who each held a line twisted round hisforefinger, one to port and one to starboard, bothbegan to laugh, andJean remarked:â\u0000\u0000You are not very polite to our guest, father.â\u0000\u0000M. Roland was abashed, and apologized.â\u0000\u0000I beg your pardon, Mme.Rosemilly, but that is just like me. I inviteladies because I like to be with them, and then, as soon as I feel thewater beneath me, I think of nothing but thefish.â\u0000\u0000Mme. Roland was now quite awake, and gazing with a softened look at thewide horizon of cliff and sea.â\u0000\u0000You have had good sport, all the same,â\u0000\u0000she murmured.But her husband shook his head in denial, though at the same time heglanced complacently at the basket where the fish caught by the threemenwere still breathing spasmodically, with a low rustle of clammyscales and struggling fins, and dull, ineffectual efforts, gasping inthe fatal air. Old Roland took thebasket between his knees and tiltedit up, making the silver heap of creatures slide to the edge that hemight see those lying at the bottom, and their death-throesbecame moreconvulsive, while the strong smell of their bodies, a wholesome reekof brine, came up from the full depths of the creel. The old fishermansniffed iteagerly, as we smell at roses, and exclaimed:â\u0000\u0000Cristi! But they are fresh enough!â\u0000\u0000 and he went on: â\u0000\u0000How many did youpull out, doctor?â\u0000\u0000His eldestson, Pierre, a man of thirty, with black whiskers trimmedsquare like a lawyer's, his mustache and beard shaved away, replied:â\u0000\u0000Oh, not many; three orfour.â\u0000\u0000The father turned to the younger. â\u0000\u0000And you, Jean?â\u0000\u0000 said he.Jean, a tall fellow, much younger than his brother, fair, with a fullbeard, smiled andmurmured:â\u0000\u0000Much the same as Pierre--four or five.â\u0000\u0000Every time they told the same fib, which delighted father Roland. He hadhitched his line round arow-lock, and folding his arms he announced:â\u0000\u0000I will never again try to fish after noon. After ten in the morning itis all over. The lazy brutes will not bite; theyare taking their siestain the sun.â\u0000\u0000 And he looked round at the sea on all sides, with thesatisfied air of a proprietor.He was a retired jeweller who had been ledby an inordinate love ofseafaring and fishing to fly from the shop as soon as he had made enoughmoney to live in modest comfort on the interest of his savings.Heretired to le Havre, bought a boat, and became an amateur skipper.His two sons, Pierre and Jean, had remained at Paris to continue theirstudies, and came forthe holidays from time to time to share theirfather's amusements.On leaving school, Pierre, the elder, five years older than Jean, hadfelt a vocation to variousprofessions and had tried half a dozen insuccession, but, soon disgusted with each in turn, he started afreshwith new hopes. Medicine had been his last fancy, andhe had set to workwith so much ardour that he had just qualified after an unusually shortcourse of study, by a special remission of time from the minister. Hewasenthusiastic, intelligent, fickle, but obstinate, full of Utopiasand philosophical notions.Jean, who was as fair as his brother was dark, as deliberate as hisbrotherwas vehement, as gentle as his brother was unforgiving, hadquietly gone through his studies for the law and had just taken hisdiploma as a licentiate, at the timewhen Pierre had taken his inmedicine. So they were now having a little rest at home, and both lookedforward to settling in Havre if they could find a satisfactoryopening.But a vague jealousy, one of those dormant jealousies which grow upbetween brothers or sisters and slowly ripen till they burst, on theoccasion of amarriage perhaps, or of some good fortune happening toone of them, kept them on the alert in a sort of brotherly andnon-aggressive animosity. They were fondof each other, it is true, butthey watched each other. Pierre, five years old when Jean was born,had looked with the eyes of a little petted animal at that otherlittleanimal which had suddenly come to lie in his father's and mother's armsand to be loved and fondled by them. Jean, from his birth, had alwaysbeen a patternof sweetness, gentleness, and good temper, and Pierre hadby degrees begun to chafe at ever-lastingly hearing the praises of thisgreat lad, whose sweetness inhis eyes was indolence, whose gentlenesswas stupidity, and whose kindliness was blindness. His parents, whosedream for their sons was some respectable andundistinguished calling,blamed him for so often changing his mind, for his fits of enthusiasm,his abortive beginnings, and all his ineffectual impulsestowardsgenerous ideas and the liberal professions.Since he had grown to manhood they no longer said in so many words:â\u0000\u0000Look at Jean and follow hisexample,â\u0000\u0000 but every time he heard them sayâ\u0000\u0000Jean did this--Jean does that,â\u0000\u0000 he understood their meaning and thehint the words conveyed.Theirmother, an orderly person, a thrifty and rather sentimental womanof the middle class, with the soul of a soft-hearted book-keeper, wasconstantly quenching thelittle rivalries between her two big sonsto which the petty events of their life constantly gave rise. Anotherlittle circumstance, too, just now disturbed her peace ofmind, andshe was in fear of some complications; for in the course of the winter,while her boys were finishing their studies, each in his own line, shehad made theacquaintance of a neighbour, Mme. Rosemilly, the widow of acaptain of a merchantman who had died at sea two years before. The youngwidow--quite young,only three-and-twenty--a woman of strong intellectwho knew life by instinct as the free animals do, as though shehad seen, gone through, understood, andweighted every conceivablecontingency, and judged them with a wholesome, strict, and benevolentmind, had fallen into the habit of calling to work or chat for anhourin the evening with these friendly neighbours, who would give her a cupof tea.Father Roland, always goaded on by his seafaring craze, would questiontheirnew friend about the departed captain; and she would talk of him,and his voyages, and his old-world tales, without hesitation, like aresigned and reasonablewoman who loves life and respects death.The two sons on their return, finding the pretty widow quite at home inthe house, forthwith began to court her, lessfrom any wish to charm herthan from the desire to cut each other out.Their mother, being practical and prudent, sincerely hoped that one ofthem might win theyoung widow, for she was rich; but then she wouldhave liked that the other should not be grieved.Mme. Rosemilly was fair, with blue eyes, a mass of light wavinghair,fluttering at the least breath of wind, and an alert, daring, pugnaciouslittle way with her, which did not in the least answer to the sobermethod of hermind.She already seemed to like Jean best, attracted, no doubt, by anaffinity of nature. This preference, however, she betrayed only byan almost imperceptibledifference of voice and look and also byoccasionally asking his opinion. She seemed to guess that Jean'sviews would support her own, while those of Pierre mustinevitablybe different. When she spoke of the doctor's ideas on politics, art,philosophy, or morals, she would sometimes say: â\u0000\u0000Your crotchets.â\u0000\u0000 Thenhewould look at her with the cold gleam of an accuser drawing up anindictment against women--all women, poor weak things.Never till his sons came home had M.Roland invited her to join hisfishing expeditions, nor had he ever taken his wife; for he liked to putoff before daybreak, with his ally, Captain Beausire, a mastermarinerretired, whom he had first met on the quay at high tides and with whomhe had struck up an intimacy, and the old sailor Papagris, known as JeanBart, inwhose charge the boat was left.But one evening of the week before, Mme. Rosemilly, who had been diningwith them, remarked, â\u0000\u0000It must be great fun to goout fishing.â\u0000\u0000 Thejeweller, flattered by her interest and suddenly fired with the wishto share his favourite sport with her, and to make a convert afterthemanner of priests, exclaimed: â\u0000\u0000Would you like to come?â\u0000\u0000â\u0000\u0000To be sure I should.â\u0000\u0000â\u0000\u0000Next Tuesday?â\u0000\u0000â\u0000\u0000Yes, next Tuesday.â\u0000\u0000â\u0000\u0000Areyou the woman to be ready to start at five in the morning?â\u0000\u0000She exclaimed in horror:â\u0000\u0000No, indeed: that is too much.â\u0000\u0000He was disappointed and chilled,suddenly doubting her true vocation.However, he said:â\u0000\u0000At what hour can you be ready?â\u0000\u0000â\u0000\u0000Well--at nine?â\u0000\u0000â\u0000\u0000Not before?â\u0000\u0000â\u0000\u0000No, notbefore. Even that is very early.â\u0000\u0000The old fellow hesitated; he certainly would catch nothing, for when thesun has warmed the sea the fish bite no more; but thetwo brothers hadeagerly pressed the scheme, and organized and arranged everything thereand then.So on the following Tuesday the Pearl had dropped anchorunder the whiterocks of Cape la Heve; they had fished till midday, then they had sleptawhile, and then fished again without catching anything; and then itwasthat father Roland, perceiving, rather late, that all that Mme.Rosemilly really enjoyed and cared for was the sail on the sea, andseeing that his lines hungmotionless, had uttered in a spirit ofunreasonable annoyance, that vehement â\u0000\u0000Tschah!â\u0000\u0000 which applied as much tothe pathetic widow as to the creatureshe could not catch.Now he contemplated the spoil--his fish--with the joyful thrill of amiser; seeing as he looked up at the sky that the sun was gettinglow:â\u0000\u0000Well, boys,â\u0000\u0000 said he, â\u0000\u0000suppose we turn homeward.â\u0000\u0000The young men hauled in their lines, coiled them up, cleaned the hooksand stuck theminto corks, and sat waiting.Roland stood up to look out like a captain.â\u0000\u0000No wind,â\u0000\u0000 said he. â\u0000\u0000You will have to pull, young 'uns.â\u0000\u0000And suddenlyextending one arm to the northward, he exclaimed:â\u0000\u0000Here comes the packet from Southampton.â\u0000\u0000Away over the level sea, spread out like a blue sheet,vast and sheenyand shot with flame and gold, an inky cloud was visible against the rosysky in the quarter to which he pointed, and below it they could makeoutthe hull of the steamer, which looked tiny at such a distance. And tosouthward other wreaths of smoke, numbers of them, could be seen, allconverging"}

The passages from Sketches from Memory show thatHawthorne had visited the mountains in one of his occasional ramblesfrom home, butthere are no entries in his Note Books which giveaccounts of such a visit. There is, however, among these notesthe following interesting paragraph, written in1840 and clearlyforeshadowing The Great Stone Face:'The semblance of a human face to be formed on the side of a mountain,or in the fracture of a small stone,by a lusus naturae [freak ofnature]. The face is an object of curiosity for years or centuries, andby and by a boy is born whose features gradually assume theaspect ofthat portrait. At some critical juncture the resemblance is found to beperfect. A prophecy may be connected.'It is not impossible that this conceitoccurred to Hawthorne before hehad himself seen the Old Man of the Mountain, or the Profile, in theFranconia Notch which is generally associated in the minds ofreaderswith The Great Stone Face.In The Ambitious Guest he has made use of the incident still told totravellers through the Notch, of the destruction of the Willeyfamilyin August, 1826. The house occupied by the family was on the slope ofa mountain, and after a long drought there was a terrible tempest whichnot onlyraised the river to a great height but loosened the surface ofthe mountain so that a great landslide took place. The house was inthe track of the slide, and thefamily rushed out of doors. Had theyremained within they would have been safe, for a ledge above the houseparted the avalanche so that it was diverted into twopaths and sweptpast the house on either side. Mr. and Mrs. Willey, their five children,and two hired men were crushed under the weight of earth, rocks,andtrees.In the Sketches from Memory Hawthorne gives an intimation of the talewhich he might write and did afterward write of The Great Carbuncle. Thepaperis interesting as showing what were the actual experiences out ofwhich he formed his imaginative stories.THE GREAT STONE FACE and Other Tales Of The WhiteMountainsTHE GREAT STONE FACEOne afternoon, when the sun was going down, a mother and her little boysat at the door of their cottage, talking about theGreat Stone Face.They had but to lift their eyes, and there it was plainly to be seen,though miles away, with the sunshine brightening all its features.And whatwas the Great Stone Face? Embosomed amongst a family oflofty mountains, there was a valley so spacious that it contained manythousand inhabitants. Some ofthese good people dwelt in log-huts, withthe black forest all around them, on the steep and difficult hillsides.Others had their homes in comfortable farm-houses,and cultivated therich soil on the gentle slopes or level surfaces of the valley. Others,again, were congregated into populous villages, where some wild,highlandrivulet, tumbling down from its birthplace in the uppermountain region, had been caught and tamed by human cunning, andcompelled to turn the machinery ofcotton-factories. The inhabitants ofthis valley, in short, were numerous, and of many modes of life. But allof them, grown people and children, had a kind offamiliarity with theGreat Stone Face, although some possessed the gift of distinguishingthis grand natural phenomenon more perfectly than many oftheirneighbors.The Great Stone Face, then, was a work of Nature in her mood of majestieplayfulness, formed on the perpendicular side of a mountain bysomeimmense rocks, which had been thrown together in such a position as,when viewed at a proper distance, precisely to resemble the features ofthe humancountenance. It seemed as if an enormous giant, or a Titan,had sculptured his own likeness on the precipice. There was the broadarch of the forehead, a hundredfeet in height; the nose, with its longbridge; and the vast lips, which, if they could have spoken, would haverolled their thunder accents from one end of the valleyto the other.True it is, that if the spectator approached too near, he lost theoutline of the gigantic visage, and could discern only a heap ofponderous and giganticrocks, piled in chaotic ruin one upon another.Retracing his steps, however, the wondrous features would again be seen;and the farther he withdrew from them,the more like a human face, withall its original divinity intact, did they appear; until, as it grew dimin the distance, with the clouds and glorified vapor of themountainsclustering about it, the Great Stone Face seemed positively to be alive.It was a happy lot for children to grow up to manhood or womanhood withtheGreat Stone Face before their eyes, for all the features were noble,and the expression was at once grand and sweet, as if it were the glowof a vast, warm heart,that embraced all mankind in its affections, andhad room for more. It was an education only to look at it. According tothe belief of many people, the valley owedmuch of its fertility to thisbenign aspect that was continually beaming over it, illuminating theclouds, and infusing its tenderness into the sunshine.As we beganwith saying, a mother and her little boy sat at theircottage-door, gazing at the Great Stone Face, and talking about it. Thechild's name was Ernest.'Mother,' saidhe, while the Titanic visage miled on him, 'I wish thatit could speak, for it looks so very kindly that its voice must needsbe pleasant. If I were to See a man withsuch a face, I should love himdearly.' 'If an old prophecy should come to pass,' answered his mother,'we may see a man, some time for other, with exactly such aface asthat.' 'What prophecy do you mean, dear mother?' eagerly inquiredErnest. 'Pray tell me all about it!'So his mother told him a story that her own motherhad told to her, whenshe herself was younger than little Ernest; a story, not of things thatwere past, but of what was yet to come; a story, nevertheless, soveryold, that even the Indians, who formerly inhabited this valley, hadheard it from their forefathers, to whom, as they affirmed, it had beenmurmured by themountain streams, and whispered by the wind among thetree-tops. The purport was, that, at some future day, a child shouldbe born hereabouts, who wasdestined to become the greatest and noblestpersonage of his time, and whose countenance, in manhood, should bearan exact resemblance to the Great StoneFace. Not a few old-fashionedpeople, and young ones likewise, in the ardor of their hopes, stillcherished an enduring faith in this old prophecy. But others, whohadseen more of the world, had watched and waited till they were weary, andhad beheld no man with such a face, nor any man that proved to be muchgreater ornobler than his neighbors, concluded it to be nothing butan idle tale. At all events, the great man of the prophecy had not yetappeared.'O mother, dear mother!'cried Ernest, clapping his hands above his head,'I do hope that I shall live to see him!'His mother was an affectionate and thoughtful woman, and felt that itwaswisest not to discourage the generous hopes of her little boy. Soshe only said to him, 'Perhaps you may.'And Ernest never forgot the story that his mother toldhim. It wasalways in his mind, whenever he looked upon the Great Stone Face.He spent his childhood in the log-cottage where he was born, and wasdutiful to hismother, and helpful to her in many things, assistingher much with his little hands, and more with his loving heart. In thismanner, from a happy yet often pensivechild, he grew up to be a mild,quiet, unobtrusive boy, and sun-browned with labor in the fields, butwith more intelligence brightening his aspect than is seen inmany ladswho have been taught at famous schools. Yet Ernest had had no teacher,save only that the Great Stone Face became one to him. When the toilof theday was over, he would gaze at it for hours, until he began toimagine that those vast features recognized him, and gave him a smile ofkindness andencouragement, responsive to his own look of veneration.We must not take upon us to affirm that this was a mistake, althoughthe Face may have looked nomore kindly at Ernest than at all theworld besides. But the secret was that the boy's tender and confidingsimplicity discerned what other people could not see;and thus the love,which was meant for all, became his peculiar portion.About this time there went a rumor throughout the valley, that the greatman, foretoldfrom ages long ago, who was to bear a resemblance tothe Great Stone Face, had appeared at last. It seems that, many yearsbefore, a young man had migratedfrom the valley and settled at adistant seaport, where, after getting together a little money, he hadset up as a shopkeeper. His name but I could never learnwhether it washis real one, or a nickname that had grown out of his habits and successin life--was Gathergold.Being shrewd and active, and endowed byProvidence with that inscrutablefaculty which develops itself in what the world calls luck, he became anexceedingly rich merchant, and owner of a whole fleet ofbulky-bottomedships. All the countries of the globe appeared to join hands for themere purpose of adding heap after heap to the mountainous accumulationof thisone man's wealth. The cold regions of the north, almost withinthe gloom and shadow of the Arctic Circle, sent him their tribute in theshape of furs; hot Africasifted for him the golden sands of her rivers,and gathered up the ivory tusks of her great elephants out of theforests; the east came bringing him the rich shawls,and spices, andteas, and the effulgence of diamonds, and the gleaming purity of largepearls. The ocean, not to be behindhand with the earth, yielded uphermighty whales, that Mr. Gathergold might sell their oil, and make aprofit on it. Be the original commodity what it might, it was goldwithin his grasp. It mightbe said of him, as of Midas, in the fable,that whatever he touched with his finger immediately glistened, and grewyellow, and was changed at once into sterlingmetal, or, which suitedhim still better, into piles of coin. And, when Mr. Gathergold hadbecome so very rich that it would have taken him a hundred years onlytocount his wealth, he bethought himself of his native valley, andresolved to go back thither, and end his days where he was born. Withthis purpose in view, hesent a skilful architect to build him such apalace as should be fit for a man of his vast wealth to live in.As I have said above, it had already been rumored in thevalley thatMr. Gathergold had turned out to be the prophetic personage so long andvainly looked for, and that his visage was the perfect and undeniablesimilitude"}

Though it was by no means M. Zolaâ\u0000\u0000s firstessayin fiction, it was undoubtedly his first great bid for genuine literaryfame, and the foundation of what must necessarily be regarded as hislife-work. The ideaof writing the â\u0000\u0000natural and social history of afamily under the Second Empire,â\u0000\u0000 extending to a score of volumes, wasdoubtless suggested to M. Zola byBalzacâ\u0000\u0000s immortal â\u0000\u0000Comedie Humaine.â\u0000\u0000 He was twenty-eight years of age when this idea first occurred to him;he was fifty-three when he at last sentthe manuscript of his concludingvolume, â\u0000\u0000Dr. Pascal,â\u0000\u0000 to the press. He had spent five-and-twenty yearsin working out his scheme, persevering with itdoggedly and stubbornly,whatever rebuffs he might encounter, whatever jeers and whatever insultsmight be directed against him by the ignorant, the prejudiced,and thehypocritical. Truth was on the march and nothing could stay it; even as,at the present hour, its march, if slow, none the less continues athwartanotherand a different crisis of the illustrious novelistâ\u0000\u0000s career.It was in the early summer of 1869 that M. Zola first began the actualwriting of â\u0000\u0000The Fortune ofthe Rougons.â\u0000\u0000 It was only in the followingyear, however, that the serial publication of the work commenced inthe columns of â\u0000\u0000Le Siecle,â\u0000\u0000 theRepublican journal of most influencein Paris in those days of the Second Empire. The Franco-German warinterrupted this issue of the story, and publication inbook form didnot take place until the latter half of 1871, a time when both the warand the Commune had left Paris exhausted, supine, with little or nointerest inanything. No more unfavourable moment for the issue of anambitious work of fiction could have been found. Some two or threeyears went by, as I wellremember, before anything like a revival ofliterature and of public interest in literature took place. Thus, M.Zola launched his gigantic scheme under auspiceswhich would have mademany another man recoil. â\u0000\u0000The Fortune of the Rougons,â\u0000\u0000 and two or threesubsequent volumes of his series, attracted but amoderate degreeof attention, and it was only on the morrow of the publication ofâ\u0000\u0000Lâ\u0000\u0000Assommoirâ\u0000\u0000 that he awoke, like Byron, to find himself famous.Aspreviously mentioned, the Rougon-Macquart series forms twentyvolumes. The last of these, â\u0000\u0000Dr. Pascal,â\u0000\u0000 appeared in 1893. Sincethen M. Zola haswritten â\u0000\u0000Lourdes,â\u0000\u0000 â\u0000\u0000Rome,â\u0000\u0000 and â\u0000\u0000Paris.â\u0000\u0000 Critics haverepeated _ad nauseam_ that these last works constitute a new departureon M.Zolaâ\u0000\u0000s part, and, so far as they formed a new series, thisis true. But the suggestion that he has in any way repented of theRougon-Macquart novels isridiculous. As he has often told me of recentyears, it is, as far as possible, his plan to subordinate his style andmethods to his subject. To have written a book likeâ\u0000\u0000Rome,â\u0000\u0000 so largelydevoted to the ambitions of the Papal See, in the same way as he hadwritten books dealing with the drunkenness or other vices ofParis,would have been the climax of absurdity.Yet the publication of â\u0000\u0000Rome,â\u0000\u0000 was the signal for a general outcry onthe part of English and Americanreviewers that Zolaism, as typified bythe Rougon-Macquart series, was altogether a thing of the past. To mythinking this is a profound error. M. Zola has alwaysremained faithfulto himself. The only difference that I perceive between his latestwork, â\u0000\u0000Paris,â\u0000\u0000 and certain Rougon-Macquart volumes, is that withtime,experience and assiduity, his genius has expanded and ripened, and thatthe hesitation, the groping for truth, so to say, which may be found insome of hisearlier writings, has disappeared.At the time when â\u0000\u0000The Fortune of the Rougonsâ\u0000\u0000 was first published, nonebut the author himself can have imagined thatthe foundation-stone ofone of the great literary monuments of the century had just been laid.From the â\u0000\u0000storyâ\u0000\u0000 point of view the book is one of M.Zolaâ\u0000\u0000s very best,although its construction--particularly as regards the long interlude ofthe idyll of Miette and Silvere--is far from being perfect. Such aworkwhen first issued might well bring its author a measure of popularity,but it could hardly confer fame. Nowadays, however, looking backward,and bearing inmind that one here has the genius of M. Zolaâ\u0000\u0000s lifework,â\u0000\u0000The Fortune of the Rougonsâ\u0000\u0000 becomes a book of exceptional interestand importance. Thishas been so well understood by French readers thatduring the last six or seven years the annual sales of the work haveincreased threefold. Where, over a courseof twenty years, 1,000 copieswere sold, 2,500 and 3,000 are sold to-day. How many living Englishnovelists can say the same of their early essays in fiction,issued morethan a quarter of a century ago?I may here mention that at the last date to which I have authenticfigures, that is, Midsummer 1897 (prior, of course,to what is calledâ\u0000\u0000Lâ\u0000\u0000Affaire Dreyfusâ\u0000\u0000), there had been sold of the entire Rougon-Macquartseries (which had begun in 1871) 1,421,000 copies. Thesewere of theordinary Charpentier editions of the French originals. By adding theretoseveral _editions de luxe_ and the widely-circulated popular illustratededitionsof certain volumes, the total amounts roundly to 2,100,000.â\u0000\u0000Rome,â\u0000\u0000 â\u0000\u0000Lourdes,â\u0000\u0000 â\u0000\u0000Paris,â\u0000\u0000 and all M. Zolaâ\u0000\u0000s other works, apart fromtheâ\u0000\u0000Rougon-Macquartâ\u0000\u0000 series, together with the translations into adozen different languages--English, German, Italian, Spanish, Dutch,Danish, Portuguese,Bohemian, Hungarian, and others--are not includedin the above figures. Otherwise the latter might well be doubled. Noris account taken of the many serial issueswhich have brought M. Zolaâ\u0000\u0000sviews to the knowledge of the masses of all Europe.It is, of course, the celebrity attaching to certain of M. Zolaâ\u0000\u0000sliteraryefforts that has stimulated the demand for his other writings.Among those which are well worthy of being read for their own sakes, Iwould assign a prominentplace to the present volume. Much of the storyelement in it is admirable, and, further, it shows M. Zola as agenuine satirist and humorist. The Rougonsâ\u0000\u0000yellow drawing-room andits habitues, and many of the scenes between Pierre Rougon and his wifeFelicite, are worthy of the pen of Douglas Jerrold. The wholeaccount,indeed, of the town of Plassans, its customs and its notabilities, issatire of the most effective kind, because it is satire true to life,and never degeneratesinto mere caricature.It is a rather curious coincidence that, at the time when M. Zola wasthus portraying the life of Provence, his great contemporary,bosomfriend, and rival for literary fame, the late Alphonse Daudet, shouldhave been producing, under the title of â\u0000\u0000The Provencal Don Quixote,â\u0000\u0000 thatunrivalled presentment of the foibles of the French Southerner,with everyone nowadays knows as â\u0000\u0000Tartarin of Tarascon.â\u0000\u0000 It is possiblethat M. Zola, whilewriting his book, may have read the instalments ofâ\u0000\u0000Le Don Quichotte Provencalâ\u0000\u0000 published in the Paris â\u0000\u0000Figaro,â\u0000\u0000 and it maybe that this perusalimparted that fillip to his pen to which we owethe many amusing particulars that he gives us of the town of Plassans.Plassans, I may mention, is really theProvencal Aix, which M. Zolaâ\u0000\u0000sfather provided with water by means of a canal still bearing his name.M. Zola himself, though born in Paris, spent the greaterpart of hischildhood there. Tarascon, as is well known, never forgave AlphonseDaudet for his â\u0000\u0000Tartarinâ\u0000\u0000; and in a like way M. Zola, who doubtlesscountsmore enemies than any other literary man of the period, has nonebitterer than the worthy citizens of Aix. They cannot forget or forgivethe rascallyRougon-Macquarts.The name Rougon-Macquart has to me always suggested that splendid andamusing type of the cynical rogue, Robert Macaire. But, of course,bothRougon and Macquart are genuine French names and not inventions. Indeed,several years ago I came by chance upon them both, in an old Frenchdeedwhich I was examining at the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris. Ithere found mention of a Rougon family and a Macquart family dwellingvirtually side by side inthe same village. This, however, was inChampagne, not in Provence. Both families farmed vineyards for a oncefamous abbey in the vicinity of Epernay, early inthe seventeenthcentury. To me, personally, this trivial discovery meant a great deal.It somehow aroused my interest in M. Zola and his works. Of the latter Ihadthen only glanced through two or three volumes. With M. Zola himselfI was absolutely unacquainted. However, I took the liberty to inform himof my littlediscovery; and afterwards I read all the books that he hadpublished. Now, as it is fairly well known, I have given the greaterpart of my time, for several yearspast, to the task of familiarisingEnglish readers with his writings. An old deed, a chance glance,followed by the great friendship of my life and years of patientlabour.If I mention this matter, it is solely with the object of endorsing thetruth of the saying that the most insignificant incidents frequentlyinfluence and evenshape our careers.But I must come back to â\u0000\u0000The Fortune of the Rougons.â\u0000\u0000 It has, as I havesaid, its satirical and humorous side; but it also contains astrongelement of pathos. The idyll of Miette and Silvere is a very touchingone, and quite in accord with the conditions of life prevailing inProvence at the period M.Zola selects for his narrative. Miette isa frank child of nature; Silvere, her lover, in certain respectsforeshadows, a quarter of a century in advance, the AbbePierre Fromontof â\u0000\u0000Lourdes,â\u0000\u0000 â\u0000\u0000Rome,â\u0000\u0000 and â\u0000\u0000Paris.â\u0000\u0000 The environment differs, of course,but germs of the same nature may readily bedetected in both characters.As for the other personages of M. Zolaâ\u0000\u0000s book--on the one hand, AuntDide, Pierre Rougon, his wife, Felicite, and their sonsEugene, Aristideand Pascal, and, on the other, Macquart, his daughter Gervaise ofâ\u0000\u0000Lâ\u0000\u0000Assommoir,â\u0000\u0000 and his son Jean of â\u0000\u0000La Terreâ\u0000\u0000 and â\u0000\u0000LaDebacle,â\u0000\u0000 togetherwith the members of the Mouret branch of the ravenous, neurotic, duplexfamily--these are analysed or sketched in a way which renderstheirsubsequent careers, as related in other volumes of the series,thoroughly consistent with their origin and their up-bringing. I ventureto asset that, although itis possible to read individual volumes ofthe Rougon-Macquart series while neglecting others, nobody can reallyunderstand any one of these books unless he"}

I sing the deeds of famous Jack,                The doughty Giant Killer hight;            How he did various monsters\"whack,\"                And so became a gallant knight.             In Arthur's days of splendid fun                (His Queen was Guenever the Pliant),--             EreBritain's sorrows had begun;                When every cave contained its giant;             When griffins fierce as bats were rife;                 And till a knight had slainhis dragon,              At trifling risk of limbs and life,                He did n't think he'd much to brag on;{002}     When wizards o'er the welkin flew;     Ere sciencehad devised balloon;     And 'twas a common thing to view     A fairy ballet by the moon;--     Our hero played his valiant pranks;     Earned loads of _kudos,vulgô_ glory,     A lady, \"tin,\" and lots of thanks;--         Relate, oh Muse! his wondrous story.OF GIANTS IN GENERAL.     A Giant was, I should premise,     Ahulking lout of monstrous size;     He mostly stood--I know you 'll laugh--     About as high as a giraffe.     His waist was some three yards in girth:     When hewalked he shook the earth.     His eyes were of the class called \"goggle,\"     Fitter for the scowl than ogle.     His mouth, decidedly carnivorous,     Like ashark's,--the Saints deliver us!     He yawned like a huge sarcophagus,     For he was an Anthropophagus,     And his tusks were huge and craggy;     His hair,and his brows, and his beard, were shaggy.{003}     I ween on the whole he was aught but a Cupid,     And exceedingly fierce, and remarkablystupid;              His brain partaking strongly of lead,              How well soe'er he was off for head;              Having frequently one or two              Crania morethan I or you.              He was bare of arm and leg,              But buskins had, and a philabeg;              Also a body-coat of mail              That shone with steel orbrazen scale,              Like to the back of a crocodile's tail;                        A crown he wore,                        And a mace he bore              That was knobbed andspiked with adamant;                        It would smash the skull                        Of the mountain bull,              Or scatter the brains of the elephant.         Hisvoice than the tempest was louder and gruffer--         Well; so much for the uncouth \"buffer.\"JACK'S BIRTH, PARENTAGE, EDUCATION, AND EARLYPURSUITS.               Of a right noble race was Jack,               For kith and kin he did not lack,                    Whom tuneful bards have puffed;               TheSeven bold Champions ranked among               That highly celebrated throng,                    And Riquet with the Tuft.{004}          Jack of the Beanstalk, too, wasone;          And Beauty's Beast; and Valour's son,              Sir Amadis de Gaul:          But if I had a thousand tongues,          A throat of brass, and ironlungs,              I could not sing them all.     His sire was a farmer hearty and free;     He dwelt where the Land's End frowns on the sea,     And the sea at theLand's End roars again,     Tit for tat, land and main.     He was a worthy wight, and so     He brought up his son in the way he should go;     He sought not--nothe!--to make him a \"muff;\"     He never taught him a parcel of stuff;     He bothered him not with trees and plants,     Nor told him to study the manners ofants.     He himself had never been     Bored with the Saturday Magazine;     The world might be flat, or round, or square,     He knew not, and he did notcare;     Nor wished that a boy of his should be     A Cornish \"Infant Prodigy.\"     But he stored his mind with learning stable,     The deeds of the Knights of thefamed Round Table;     Legends and stories, chants and lays,     Of witches and warlocks, goblins and fays;             How champions of might             Defendedthe right,{005}     Freed the captive, and succoured the damsel distrest              Till Jack would exclaim--     \"If I don't do the same,     An' I live to become aman,--_I'm blest!_\"     Jack lightly recked of sport or play              Wherein young gentlemen delight,     But he would wrestle any day,     Box, or at backswordfight.     He was a lad of special \"pluck,\"     And strength beyond his years,          Or science, gave him aye the luck          To drub his young compeers.     Histask assigned, like Giles or Hodge,     The woolly flocks to tend,          His wits to warlike fray or \"dodge\"          Wool-gathering oft would wend.     And then he'dwink his sparkling eye,     And nod his head right knowingly,         And sometimes \"Won't I just!\" would cry,         Or \"At him, Bill, again!\"          Now thisbehaviour did evince          A longing for a foe to mince;          An instinct fitter for a Prince          Than for a shepherd swain.{006}HOW JACK SLEW THE GIANTCORMORAN.---     I.          Where good Saint Michael's craggy mount          Rose Venus-like from out the sea,          A giant dwelt; a mighty- Count          In hisown view, forsooth, was he;          And not unlike one, verily,          (A foreign Count, like those we meet          In Leicester Square, or Regent Street),          Imean with respect to his style of hair,          Mustachios, and beard, and ferocious air,--          His figure was quite another affair.         This odd-looking\"bird\"         Was a Richard the Third,         Four times taller and five as wide;         Or a clumsy Punch,         With his cudgel and hunch,              Into a monstermagnified!     In quest of prey across the sea     He'd wade, with ponderous club;              For not the slightest \"bones\" made he              Of \"boning\" people's\"grub.\"     There was screaming and crying \"Oh dear!\" and \"Oh law     When the terrified maids the monster saw;[Illustration: 019]{007}                 As hestalked--tramp! tramp!                 Stamp! stamp! stamp! stamp!         Coming on like the statue in \"Don Giovanni.\"                 \"Oh my!\" they wouldcry,                  \"Here he comes; let us fly!         Did you ever behold such a horrid old brawny? --                 A--h!\" and off they would run                 Like\"blazes,\" or \"fun,\"         Followed, pell-mell, by man and master;                 While the grisly old fellow                 Would after them bellow,         To make themscamper away the faster.     II.          When this mountain bugaboo          Had filled his belly, what would he do?          He'd shoulder his club with an ox ortwo,          Stick pigs and sheep in his belt a few,--     There were two or three in it, and two or three under     (I hope ye have all the \"organ of wonder\");     Thenback again to his mountain cave     He would stump o'er the dry land and stride through the wave.     III.                     What was to be done?                     Forthis was no fun;                 And it must be clear to every one,          The new Tariff itself would assuredly not          Have supplied much longer the monstrouspot                 Of this beef-eating, bull-headed, \"son-of-a-gun.\"{008}     IV.     Upon a night as dark as pitch     A light was dancing on the sea;--     Marked itthe track of the Water Witch?     Could it a Jack-a-lantern be?     A lantern it was, and borne by Jack;     A spade and a pickaxe he had at his back;     In his belt agood cow-horn;     He was up to some game you may safely be sworn.     Saint Michael's Mount he quickly gained,     And there the livelong nightremained.                What he did                The darkness hid;     Nor needeth it that I should say:     Nor would you have seen,     If there you hadbeen     Looking on at the break of day.     V.     Morning dawned on the ocean blue;     Shrieked the gull and the wild sea-mew;     The donkey brayed, and thegrey cock crew;     Jack put to his mouth his good cow-horn,     And a blast therewith did blow.     The Giant heard the note of scorn,     And woke and cried\"Hallo!\"     He popped out his head with his night-cap on,     To look who his friend might be,     And eke his spectacles did don,     That he mote the bettersee.[Illustration: 023]{009}     \"I'll broil thee for breakfast,\" he roared amain,     \"For breaking my repose.\"     \"Yaa!\" valiant Jack returned again,     With hisfingers at his nose.     VI.     Forward the monster tramps apace,     Like to an elephant running a race;     Like a walking-stick he handles his mace.     Away, tooventurous wight, decamp!     In two more strides your skull he smashes;--     One! Gracious goodness! what a stamp!     Two! Ha! the plain beneath himcrashes:     Down he goes, full fathoms three.     \"How feel ye now,\" cried Jack, \"old chap?     It is plain, I wot, to see     You 're by no means up to trap.\"     TheGiant answered with such a roar,     It was like the Atlantic at war with its shore;     A thousand times worse than the hullaballoo     Of carnivora, fed,     Eregoing to bed,     At the Regent's Park, or the Surrey \"Zoo.\"     \"So ho! Sir Giant,\" said Jack, with a bow,     \"Of breakfast art thou fain?     For a tit-bit wilt thoubroil me now,     An' I let thee out again? \"     Gnashing his teeth, and rolling his eyes,     The furious lubber strives to rise.     \"Don't you wish you may get it?\"our hero cries{010}[Illustration: 027]       And he drives the pickaxe into his skull:       Giving him thus a belly-full,                        If the expression is n't abull.     VII.                    Old Cormoran dead,                       Jack cut off his head,       And hired a boat to transport it home.                    On the \"bumps\" of thebrute,       At the Institute,       A lecture was read by a Mr. Combe.         Their Worships, the Justices of the Peace,         Called the death of the monster a\"happy release:\"         Sent for the champion who had drubbed him,         And \"Jack the Giant Killer\" dubbed him;         And they gave him a sword, and abaldric, whereon         For all who could read them, these versicles shone:--            'THIS IS YE VALYANT CORNISHE MAN            WHO SLEWE YE GIANTCORMORAN\"{011}[Illustration: 028]JACK SUPRISED ONCE IN THE WAY     I.     Now, as Jack was a lion, and hero of rhymes,     His exploit very soon made anoise in the \"Times;\"              All over the west              He was _fêted_, caressed,     And to dinners and _soirees_ eternally pressed:     Though't is true Giantsdid n't move much in society,     And at \"twigging\" were slow,     Yet they could n't but know     Of a thing that was matter of such notoriety.     Your Giants werefamous for _esprit de corps_;     And a huge one, whose name was O'Blunderbore,     From the Emerald Isle, who had waded o'er,     Revenge, \"by the pow'rs!\"on our hero swore.     II.              Sound beneath a forest oak              Was a beardless warrior dozing,              By a babbling rill, that woke              Echo--notthe youth reposing.              What a chance for lady loves              Now to win a \"pair of gloves!\"{012}     III.     \"Wake, champion, wake, be off, be"}

But ... do they count     when two strong ideologies standface to face...?                           by Mack Reynolds                      Illustrated by Schoenherr       *       *       *       *       *IEl Hassan, would-be tyrant of allNorth Africa, was on the run.His followers at this point numbered six, one of whom was a wisp of atwenty-four year old girl. Arrayed against him and his dream,he knew,was the combined power of the world in the form of the ReunitedNations, and, in addition, such individual powers as the United Statesof the Americas,the Soviet Complex, Common Europe, the FrenchCommunity, the British Commonwealth and the Arab Union, working bothtogether and unilaterally.Immediatesurvival depended upon getting into the Great Erg of theSahara where even the greatest powers the world had ever developedwould have their work cut outlocating El Hassan and his people.       *       *       *       *       *Bey-ag-Akhamouk who was riding next to Elmer Allen in the lead aircushion hover-lorry, held ahand high. Both of the solar powereddesert vehicles ground to a halt.Homer Crawford vaulted out of the seat of the second lorry before ithad settled to the sand.\"What's up, Bey?\" he called.Bey pointed to the south and west. They were in the vicinity ofTessalit, in what was once known as French Sudan, and immediatelytothe south of Algeria. They were deliberately avoiding what littleexisted in this area in the way of trails, the Tanezrouft route whichcrossed the Sahara fromColomb-Béchar to Gao, on the Niger, was somefifty miles to the west.Homer Crawford stared up into the sky in the direction Bey pointed andhis face wentwan.The others were piling out of the vehicles.\"What is it?\" Isobel Cunningham said, squinting and trying to catchwhat the others had already spotted.\"Aircraft,\"Bey growled. \"A rocket-plane.\"\"Which means the military in this part of the world,\" Homer said.The rest of them looked to him for instructions, but Bey suddenlytookover. He said to Homer, \"You better get on over beneath thatoutcropping of rock. The rest of us will handle this.\"Homer looked at him.Bey said, flatly, \"If oneof the rest of us gets it, or even if all ofus do, the El Hassan movement goes on. But if something happens toyou, the movement dies. We've already taken ourstand and too much isat stake to risk your life.\"Homer Crawford opened his mouth to protest, then closed it. He reachedinside the solar-powered lorry andfetched forth a Tommy-Noiseless andstarted for the rock outcropping at a trot. Having made his decision,he wasn't going to cramp Bey-ag-Akhamouk's style withneedlesspalaver.Isobel Cunningham, Cliff Jackson, Elmer Allen and Kenny Ballalougathered around the tall, American educated Tuareg.\"What's the plan?\" Elmersaid. Either he or Kenny Ballalou could havetaken over as competently, but they were as capable of taking ordersas giving them, a desirable trait in fightingmen.Bey was still staring at the oncoming speck. He growled, \"We can'teven hope he hasn't seen the pillars of sand and dust these vehiclesthrow up. He's spottedus all right. And we've got to figure he'slooking for us, even though we can hope he's not.\"The side of his mouth began to tic, characteristically. \"He'll makethreepasses. The first one high, as an initial check. The second timehe'll come in low just to make sure. The third pass and he'll clobberus.\"The aircraft was coming on,high but nearer now.\"So,\" Elmer said reasonably, \"we either get him the second pass hemakes, or we've had it.\" The young Jamaican's lips were thinnedbackover his excellent teeth, as always when he went into combat.\"That's it,\" Bey agreed. \"Kenny, you and Cliff get the flac rifle, andhave it handy in the back ofthe second truck. Be sure he doesn't seeit on this first pass. Elmer, get on the radio and check anything hesends.\"Kenny Ballalou and the hulking Cliff Jackson ranto carry out orders.Isobel said, \"Got an extra gun for me?\"Bey scowled at her. \"You better get over there with Homer where it'ssafer.\"She said evenly, \"I'vealways considered myself a pacifist, but whensomebody starts shooting at me, I forget about it and am inclined toshoot back.\"\"I haven't got time to argue withyou,\" Bey said. \"There aren't anyextra guns except handguns and they'd be useless.\" As he spoke, hepulled his own Tommy-Noiseless from its scabbard on thefront door ofthe air cushion lorry, and checked its clip of two hundred .10 caliberultra-high velocity rounds. He flicked the selector to the explosiveside of theclip.       *       *       *       *       *The plane was roaring in on what would be its first pass, if Bey hadguessed correctly. If he had guessed incorrectly, this mightbe theend. A charge of napalm would fry everything for a quarter of a milearound, or the craft might even be equipped with a mini-fission bomb.In this area aminor nuclear explosion would probably go undetected.Bey yelled, \"Don't anybody even try to fire at him at this range.He'll be back. It takes half the sky to turnaround in with thatcrate, but he'll be back, lower next time.\"Cliff Jackson said cheerlessly, \"Maybe he's just looking for us. Hewon't necessarily take a crack atus.\"Bey grunted. \"Elmer?\"\"Nothing on the radio,\" Elmer said. \"If he was just scouting us out,he'd report to his base. But if his orders are to clobber us, thenhewouldn't put it on the air.\"The plane was turning in the sky, coming back.Cliff argued, \"Well, we can't fire unless we know if he's just huntingus out, or trying todo us in.\"Elmer said patiently, \"For just finding us, that first pass would beall he needed. He could radio back that he'd found us. But if he comesin again, he'slooking for trouble.\"\"Here he comes!\" Bey yelled. \"Kenny-Cliff ... the rifle!\"Isobel suddenly dashed out into the sands a dozen yards or so from thevehicles andbegan running around and around in a circle as thoughdemented.Bey stared at her. \"Get back here,\" he roared. \"Under one of thetrucks!\"She ignored him.Therocket-plane was coming in, low and obviously as slow as the pilotcould retard its speed.The flac rifle began jumping and tracers reached out fromit--inaccurately.The Tommy-Noiseless automatics in the hands of Beyand Elmer Allen gave their silenced _flic flic flic_ sounds, equallyineffective.On the ultra-stubby wings of thefast moving aircraft, a row ofbrilliant cherries flickered and a row of explosive shells plowedacross the desert, digging twin ditches, miraculously going betweentheair cushion lorries but missing both. It was upon them, over andgone, before the men on the ground could turn to fire after.Elmer Allen muttered an obscenityunder his breath.Cliff Jackson looked around in desperation. \"What can we do now? Hewon't come close enough for us to even fire at him, next time.\"Bey saidnothing. Isobel had collapsed into the sand. Elmer Allenlooked over at her. \"Nice try, Isobel,\" he said. \"I think he came inlower and slower than he would haveotherwise--trying to see what thedevil it was you were doing.\"She shrugged, hopelessly.\"Hey!\" Kenny Ballalou pointed.The rocketcraft was wobbling, shuddering,in the sky. Suddenly itburst into a black cloud of fire and smoke and explosion.At the same moment, Homer Crawford got up from the sand dune behindwhichhe'd stationed himself and plowed awkwardly through the sandtoward them.Bey glared at him.Homer shrugged and said, \"I checked the way he came in the firsttimeand figured he'd repeat the run. Then I got behind that dune there andfaced in the other direction and started firing where I _thought_ he'dbe, a few secondsbefore he came over. He evidently ran right intoit.\"Bey said indignantly, \"Look, wise guy, you're no longer the leader ofa five-man Reunited Nations AfricanDevelopment Project team. Then,you were expendable. Now, you're El Hassan. You give the orders. Otherpeople are expendable.\"Homer Crawford grinned athim, somewhat ruefully and held up his handsas though in supplication. \"Listen to the man, is that any way to talkto El Hassan?\"Elmer Allen said worriedly, \"He'sright, though, Homer. You shouldn'ttake chances.\"Homer Crawford went serious. \"Actually, none of us should, if we canavoid it. In a way, El Hassan isn't oneperson. It's this team here,and Jake Armstrong, who by this time I hope is on his way to theStates.\"Bey was shaking his head in stubborn determination. \"No,\" hesaid.\"I'm not sure that you comprehend this yourself, Homer, but you'reNumber One. You're the symbol, the hero these people are going tofollow if we put thisthing over. They couldn't understand a sextetleadership. They want a leader, someone to dominate and tell them whatto do. A team you need, admittedly, butnot so much as the team needsyou. Remember Alexander? He had a team starting off with Aristotle fora brain-trust, and Parmenion, one of the greatest generalsof all timefor his right-hand man. Then he had a group of field men such asPtolemy, Antipater, Antigonus and Seleucus--not to be rivaled untilNapoleon built histeam, two thousand years later. And what happenedto this super-team when Alexander died?\"Homer looked at him thoughtfully.Bey wound it up doggedly.\"You're our Alexander. Our Caesar. OurNapoleon. So don't go getting yourself killed, damn it. Excuse me,Isobel.\"Isobel grinned her pixielike grin. \"I agree,\" shesaid. \"Dammit.\"Homer said, \"I'm not sure I go all along with you or not. We'll thinkabout it.\" His voice took a sharper note. \"Let's go over and see ifthere's enoughleft in that wreckage to give us an idea of who thepilot represented. I can't believe it was a Reunited Nations man, andI'd like to know who, of our potentialenemies, dislikes the idea ofEl Hassan so much that they figure we should all be bumped off beforewe even get under way.\"       *       *       *       *       *It hadbegun--if there is ever a beginning--in Dakar.

Rapallo, 1922.ILLI ALMAEMATRIZULEIKA DOBSONIThat old bell, presage of a train, had just sounded through Oxfordstation; and the undergraduates who were waiting there, gay figuresintweed or flannel, moved to the margin of the platform and gazed idlyup the line. Young and careless, in the glow of the afternoon sunshine,they struck a sharpnote of incongruity with the worn boards they stoodon, with the fading signals and grey eternal walls of that antiquestation, which, familiar to them andinsignificant, does yet whisper tothe tourist the last enchantments of the Middle Age.At the door of the first-class waiting-room, aloof and venerable, stoodtheWarden of Judas. An ebon pillar of tradition seemed he, in his garbof old-fashioned cleric. Aloft, between the wide brim of his silk hatand the white extent of hisshirt-front, appeared those eyes whichhawks, that nose which eagles, had often envied. He supported his yearson an ebon stick. He alone was worthy of thebackground.Came a whistle from the distance. The breast of an engine was descried,and a long train curving after it, under a flight of smoke. It grewand grew.Louder and louder, its noise foreran it. It became a furious,enormous monster, and, with an instinct for safety, all men recededfrom the platform's margin. (Yetcame there with it, unknown to them,a danger far more terrible than itself.) Into the station it cameblustering, with cloud and clangour. Ere it had yet stopped,the door ofone carriage flew open, and from it, in a white travelling dress, in atoque a-twinkle with fine diamonds, a lithe and radiant creature slippednimbly downto the platform.A cynosure indeed! A hundred eyes were fixed on her, and half as manyhearts lost to her. The Warden of Judas himself had mounted on his noseapair of black-rimmed glasses. Him espying, the nymph darted in hisdirection. The throng made way for her. She was at his side.\"Grandpapa!\" she cried, andkissed the old man on either cheek. (Not ayouth there but would have bartered fifty years of his future for thatsalute.)\"My dear Zuleika,\" he said, \"welcome toOxford! Have you no luggage?\"\"Heaps!\" she answered. \"And a maid who will find it.\"\"Then,\" said the Warden, \"let us drive straight to College.\" He offeredher hisarm, and they proceeded slowly to the entrance. She chattedgaily, blushing not in the long avenue of eyes she passed through. Allthe youths, under her spell,were now quite oblivious of the relativesthey had come to meet. Parents, sisters, cousins, ran unclaimed aboutthe platform. Undutiful, all the youths were forminga serried suite totheir enchantress. In silence they followed her. They saw her leap intothe Warden's landau, they saw the Warden seat himself upon her left.Norwas it until the landau was lost to sight that they turned--how slowly,and with how bad a grace!--to look for their relatives.Through those slums which connectOxford with the world, the landaurolled on towards Judas. Not many youths occurred, for nearly all--itwas the Monday of Eights Week--were down by the river,cheering thecrews. There did, however, come spurring by, on a polo-pony, a verysplendid youth. His straw hat was encircled with a riband of blue andwhite, andhe raised it to the Warden.\"That,\" said the Warden, \"is the Duke of Dorset, a member of my College.He dines at my table to-night.\"Zuleika, turning to regard hisGrace, saw that he had not reined in andwas not even glancing back at her over his shoulder. She gave a littlestart of dismay, but scarcely had her lips pouted erethey curved to asmile--a smile with no malice in its corners.As the landau rolled into \"the Corn,\" another youth--a pedestrian, andvery different--saluted theWarden. He wore a black jacket, rusty andamorphous. His trousers were too short, and he himself was too short:almost a dwarf. His face was as plain as his gaitwas undistinguished.He squinted behind spectacles.\"And who is that?\" asked Zuleika.A deep flush overspread the cheek of the Warden. \"That,\" he said, \"isalso amember of Judas. His name, I believe, is Noaks.\"\"Is he dining with us to-night?\" asked Zuleika.\"Certainly not,\" said the Warden. \"Most decidedly not.\"Noaks,unlike the Duke, had stopped for an ardent retrospect. He gazedtill the landau was out of his short sight; then, sighing, resumed hissolitary walk.The landau wasrolling into \"the Broad,\" over that ground which had onceblackened under the fagots lit for Latimer and Ridley. It rolled pastthe portals of Balliol and of Trinity,past the Ashmolean. From thosepedestals which intersperse the railing of the Sheldonian, the highgrim busts of the Roman Emperors stared down at the fairstranger inthe equipage. Zuleika returned their stare with but a casual glance. Theinanimate had little charm for her.A moment later, a certain old don emergedfrom Blackwell's, where he hadbeen buying books. Looking across the road, he saw, to his amazement,great beads of perspiration glistening on the brows ofthose Emperors.He trembled, and hurried away. That evening, in Common Room, he toldwhat he had seen; and no amount of polite scepticism would convincehimthat it was but the hallucination of one who had been reading too muchMommsen. He persisted that he had seen what he described. It was notuntil two dayshad elapsed that some credence was accorded him.Yes, as the landau rolled by, sweat started from the brows of theEmperors. They, at least, foresaw the perilthat was overhanging Oxford,and they gave such warning as they could. Let that be remembered totheir credit. Let that incline us to think more gently of them.In theirlives we know, they were infamous, some of them--\"nihil non commiseruntstupri, saevitiae, impietatis.\" But are they too little punished, afterall? Here inOxford, exposed eternally and inexorably to heat and frost,to the four winds that lash them and the rains that wear them away, theyare expiating, in effigy, theabominations of their pride and crueltyand lust. Who were lechers, they are without bodies; who were tyrants,they are crowned never but with crowns of snow;who made themselves evenwith the gods, they are by American visitors frequently mistaken forthe Twelve Apostles. It is but a little way down the road that thetwoBishops perished for their faith, and even now we do never pass the spotwithout a tear for them. Yet how quickly they died in the flames! Tothese Emperors,for whom none weeps, time will give no surcease. Surely,it is sign of some grace in them that they rejoiced not, this brightafternoon, in the evil that was to befallthe city of their penance.IIThe sun streamed through the bay-window of a \"best\" bedroom in theWarden's house, and glorified the pale crayon-portraits on thewall,the dimity curtains, the old fresh chintz. He invaded the many trunkswhich--all painted Z. D.--gaped, in various stages of excavation, aroundthe room. Thedoors of the huge wardrobe stood, like the doors ofJanus' temple in time of war, majestically open; and the sun seized thisopportunity of exploring the mahoganyrecesses. But the carpet, whichhad faded under his immemorial visitations, was now almost ENTIRELYhidden from him, hidden under layers of fair fine linen,layers ofsilk, brocade, satin, chiffon, muslin. All the colours of the rainbow,materialised by modistes, were there. Stacked on chairs were I know notwhat ofsachets, glove-cases, fan-cases. There were innumerable packagesin silver-paper and pink ribands. There was a pyramid of bandboxes.There was a virgin forestof boot-trees. And rustling quickly hither andthither, in and out of this profusion, with armfuls of finery, was anobviously French maid. Alert, unerring, like aswallow she dipped anddarted. Nothing escaped her, and she never rested. She had the air ofthe born unpacker--swift and firm, yet withal tender. Scarce hadherarms been laden but their loads were lying lightly between shelves ortightly in drawers. To calculate, catch, distribute, seemed in her but asingle process. Shewas one of those who are born to make chaos cosmic.Insomuch that ere the loud chapel-clock tolled another hour all thetrunks had been sent empty away. Thecarpet was unflecked by any scrapof silver-paper. From the mantelpiece, photographs of Zuleika surveyedthe room with a possessive air. Zuleika's pincushion,a-bristle withnew pins, lay on the dimity-flounced toilet-table, and round it stooda multitude of multiform glass vessels, domed, all of them, with dullgold, onwhich Z. D., in zianites and diamonds, was encrusted. Ona small table stood a great casket of malachite, initialled in likefashion. On another small table stoodZuleika's library. Both books werein covers of dull gold. On the back of one cover BRADSHAW, in beryls,was encrusted; on the back of the other, A.B.C. GUIDE, inamethysts,beryls, chrysoprases, and garnets. And Zuleika's great cheval-glassstood ready to reflect her. Always it travelled with her, in a greatcase speciallymade for it. It was framed in ivory, and of fluted ivorywere the slim columns it swung between. Of gold were its twin sconces,and four tall tapers stood in each ofthem.The door opened, and the Warden, with hospitable words, left hisgrand-daughter at the threshold.Zuleika wandered to her mirror. \"Undress me, Melisande,\"she said. Likeall who are wont to appear by night before the public, she had the habitof resting towards sunset.Presently Melisande withdrew. Her mistress, in awhite peignoir tiedwith a blue sash, lay in a great chintz chair, gazing out of thebay-window. The quadrangle below was very beautiful, with its walls ofruggedgrey, its cloisters, its grass carpet. But to her it was of nomore interest than if it had been the rattling court-yard to one ofthose hotels in which she spent her life.She saw it, but heeded it not.She seemed to be thinking of herself, or of something she desired, or ofsome one she had never met. There was ennui, and therewas wistfulness,in her gaze. Yet one would have guessed these things to be transient--tobe no more than the little shadows that sometimes pass between abrightmirror and the brightness it reflects.Zuleika was not strictly beautiful. Her eyes were a trifle large, andtheir lashes longer than they need have been. Ananarchy of small curlswas her chevelure, a dark upland of misrule, every hair asserting itsrights over a not discreditable brow. For the rest, her features werenot"}

He was born in 1717, the year inwhich his father resigned office, remaining in opposition for almostthree years before his return to a long tenure ofpower.  Horace Walpolewas educated at Eton, where he formed a school friendship with ThomasGray, who was but a few months older.  In 1739 Graywastravelling-companion with Walpole in France and Italy until they differedand parted; but the friendship was afterwards renewed, and remained firmto theend.  Horace Walpole went from Eton to Kingâ\u0000\u0000s College, Cambridge,and entered Parliament in 1741, the year before his fatherâ\u0000\u0000s finalresignation andacceptance of an earldom.  His way of life was made easyto him.  As Usher of the Exchequer, Comptroller of the Pipe, and Clerk ofthe Estreats in the Exchequer,he received nearly two thousand a year fordoing nothing, lived with his father, and amused himself.Horace Walpole idled, and amused himself with the small lifeof thefashionable world to which he was proud of belonging, though he had aquick eye for its vanities.  He had social wit, and liked to put it tosmall uses.  But hewas not an empty idler, and there were seasons whenhe could become a sharp judge of himself.  â\u0000\u0000I am sensible,â\u0000\u0000 he wrote tohis most intimate friend,â\u0000\u0000I am sensible of having more follies andweaknesses and fewer real good qualities than most men.  I sometimesreflect on this, though, I own, too seldom.  Ialways want to beginacting like a man, and a sensible one, which I think I might be if Iwould.â\u0000\u0000  He had deep home affections, and, under manypoliteaffectations, plenty of good sense.Horace Walpoleâ\u0000\u0000s father died in 1745.  The eldest son, who succeeded tothe earldom, died in 1751, and left a son,George, who was for a timeinsane, and lived until 1791.  As George left no child, the title andestates passed to Horace Walpole, then seventy-four years old, andtheonly uncle who survived.  Horace Walpole thus became Earl of Orford,during the last six years of his life.  As to the title, he said that hefelt himself being callednames in his old age.  He died unmarried, inthe year 1797, at the age of eighty.He had turned his house at Strawberry Hill, by the Thames, nearTwickenham, intoa Gothic villaâ\u0000\u0000eighteenth-century Gothicâ\u0000\u0000and amusedhimself by spending freely upon its adornment with such things as werethen fashionable as objectsof taste.  But he delighted also in hisflowers and his trellises of roses, and the quiet Thames.  When confinedby gout to his London house in Arlington Street,flowers from StrawberryHill and a bird were necessary consolations.  He set up also atStrawberry Hill a private printing press, at which he printed hisfriendGrayâ\u0000\u0000s poems, also in 1758 his own â\u0000\u0000Catalogue of the Royal and NobleAuthors of England,â\u0000\u0000 and five volumes of â\u0000\u0000Anecdotes of PaintinginEngland,â\u0000\u0000 between 1762 and 1771.Horace Walpole produced _The Castle of Otranto_ in 1765, at the matureage of forty-eight.  It was suggested by adream from which he said hewaked one morning, and of which â\u0000\u0000all I could recover was, that I hadthought myself in an ancient castle (a very natural dreamfor a head likemine, filled with Gothic story), and that on the uppermost banister of agreat staircase I saw a gigantic hand in armour.  In the evening I satdownand began to write, without knowing in the least what I intended tosay or relate.â\u0000\u0000  So began the tale which professed to be translated byâ\u0000\u0000WilliamMarshal, gentleman, from the Italian of Onuphro Muralto, canonof the Church of St. Nicholas, at Otranto.â\u0000\u0000  It was written in twomonths.  Walpoleâ\u0000\u0000s friendGray reported to him that at Cambridge the bookmade â\u0000\u0000some of them cry a little, and all in general afraid to go to bedoâ\u0000\u0000 nights.â\u0000\u0000  _The Castle ofOtranto_ was, in its own way, an early signof the reaction towards romance in the latter part of the last century.This gives it interest.  But it has had manyfollowers, and the hardymodern reader, when he readâ\u0000\u0000s Grayâ\u0000\u0000s note from Cambridge, needs to bereminded of itsdate.                                                                     H. M.PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION.The following work was found in the library of an ancient Catholicfamilyin the north of England.  It was printed at Naples, in the black letter,in the year 1529.  How much sooner it was written does not appear.  Theprincipalincidents are such as were believed in the darkest ages ofChristianity; but the language and conduct have nothing that savours ofbarbarism.  The style is thepurest Italian.If the story was written near the time when it is supposed to havehappened, it must have been between 1095, the era of the first Crusade,and1243, the date of the last, or not long afterwards.  There is noother circumstance in the work that can lead us to guess at the period inwhich the scene is laid: thenames of the actors are evidentlyfictitious, and probably disguised on purpose: yet the Spanish names ofthe domestics seem to indicate that this work was notcomposed until theestablishment of the Arragonian Kings in Naples had made Spanishappellations familiar in that country.  The beauty of the diction, andthe zealof the author (moderated, however, by singular judgment) concurto make me think that the date of the composition was little antecedentto that of theimpression.  Letters were then in their most flourishingstate in Italy, and contributed to dispel the empire of superstition, atthat time so forcibly attacked by thereformers.  It is not unlikely thatan artful priest might endeavour to turn their own arms on theinnovators, and might avail himself of his abilities as an authortoconfirm the populace in their ancient errors and superstitions.  If thiswas his view, he has certainly acted with signal address.  Such a work asthe followingwould enslave a hundred vulgar minds beyond half the booksof controversy that have been written from the days of Luther to thepresent hour.This solution of theauthorâ\u0000\u0000s motives is, however, offered as a mereconjecture.  Whatever his views were, or whatever effects the executionof them might have, his work canonly be laid before the public atpresent as a matter of entertainment.  Even as such, some apology for itis necessary.  Miracles, visions, necromancy, dreams, andotherpreternatural events, are exploded now even from romances.  That was notthe case when our author wrote; much less when the story itself issupposed tohave happened.  Belief in every kind of prodigy was soestablished in those dark ages, that an author would not be faithful tothe manners of the times, who shouldomit all mention of them.  He is notbound to believe them himself, but he must represent his actors asbelieving them.If this air of the miraculous is excused, thereader will find nothingelse unworthy of his perusal.  Allow the possibility of the facts, andall the actors comport themselves as persons would do in theirsituation.There is no bombast, no similes, flowers, digressions, or unnecessarydescriptions.  Everything tends directly to the catastrophe.  Never isthereaderâ\u0000\u0000s attention relaxed.  The rules of the drama are almostobserved throughout the conduct of the piece.  The characters are welldrawn, and still bettermaintained.  Terror, the authorâ\u0000\u0000s principalengine, prevents the story from ever languishing; and it is so oftencontrasted by pity, that the mind is kept up in aconstant vicissitude ofinteresting passions.Some persons may perhaps think the characters of the domestics too littleserious for the general cast of the story; butbesides their oppositionto the principal personages, the art of the author is very observable inhis conduct of the subalterns.  They discover many passagesessential tothe story, which could not be well brought to light but by their_naïveté_ and simplicity.  In particular, the womanish terror and foiblesof Bianca, inthe last chapter, conduce essentially towards advancing thecatastrophe.It is natural for a translator to be prejudiced in favour of his adoptedwork.  More impartialreaders may not be so much struck with the beautiesof this piece as I was.  Yet I am not blind to my authorâ\u0000\u0000s defects.  Icould wish he had grounded his planon a more useful moral than this:that â\u0000\u0000the sins of fathers are visited on their children to the third andfourth generation.â\u0000\u0000  I doubt whether, in his time,any more than atpresent, ambition curbed its appetite of dominion from the dread of soremote a punishment.  And yet this moral is weakened by that lessdirectinsinuation, that even such anathema may be diverted by devotion to St.Nicholas.  Here the interest of the Monk plainly gets the better of thejudgment ofthe author.  However, with all its faults, I have no doubtbut the English reader will be pleased with a sight of this performance.The piety that reigns throughout,the lessons of virtue that areinculcated, and the rigid purity of the sentiments, exempt this work fromthe censure to which romances are but too liable.  Should itmeet withthe success I hope for, I may be encouraged to reprint the originalItalian, though it will tend to depreciate my own labour.  Our languagefalls far shortof the charms of the Italian, both for variety andharmony.  The latter is peculiarly excellent for simple narrative.  It isdifficult in English to relate without fallingtoo low or rising toohigh; a fault obviously occasioned by the little care taken to speak purelanguage in common conversation.  Every Italian or Frenchman of anyrankpiques himself on speaking his own tongue correctly and with choice.  Icannot flatter myself with having done justice to my author in thisrespect: his style isas elegant as his conduct of the passions ismasterly.  It is a pity that he did not apply his talents to what theywere evidently proper forâ\u0000\u0000the theatre.I willdetain the reader no longer, but to make one short remark.  Thoughthe machinery is invention, and the names of the actors imaginary, Icannot but believe thatthe groundwork of the story is founded on truth.The scene is undoubtedly laid in some real castle.  The author seemsfrequently, without design, to describe"}

LASSITERA sharp clip-crop of iron-shod hoofs deadened and died away, andcloudsof yellow dust drifted from under the cottonwoods out over the sage.Jane Withersteen gazed down the wide purple slope with dreamy andtroubled eyes. Arider had just left her and it was his message thatheld her thoughtful and almost sad, awaiting the churchmen who werecoming to resent and attack her right tobefriend a Gentile.She wondered if the unrest and strife that had lately come to thelittle village of Cottonwoods was to involve her. And then shesighed,remembering that her father had founded this remotest border settlementof southern Utah and that he had left it to her. She owned all theground andmany of the cottages. Withersteen House was hers, and thegreat ranch, with its thousands of cattle, and the swiftest horses ofthe sage. To her belonged AmberSpring, the water which gave verdureand beauty to the village and made living possible on that wild purpleupland waste. She could not escape being involved bywhatever befellCottonwoods.That year, 1871, had marked a change which had been gradually comingin the lives of the peace-loving Mormons of the border.Glaze--StoneBridge--Sterling, villages to the north, had risen against theinvasion of Gentile settlers and the forays of rustlers. There had beenopposition to theone and fighting with the other. And now Cottonwoodshad begun to wake and bestir itself and grown hard.Jane prayed that the tranquillity and sweetness of herlife would not bepermanently disrupted. She meant to do so much more for her people thanshe had done. She wanted the sleepy quiet pastoral days to lastalways.Trouble between the Mormons and the Gentiles of the community wouldmake her unhappy. She was Mormon-born, and she was a friend to poorandunfortunate Gentiles. She wished only to go on doing good and beinghappy. And she thought of what that great ranch meant to her. She lovedit all--the grove ofcottonwoods, the old stone house, the amber-tintedwater, and the droves of shaggy, dusty horses and mustangs, the sleek,clean-limbed, blooded racers, and thebrowsing herds of cattle and thelean, sun-browned riders of the sage.While she waited there she forgot the prospect of untoward change. Thebray of a lazy burrobroke the afternoon quiet, and it was comfortinglysuggestive of the drowsy farmyard, and the open corrals, and the greenalfalfa fields. Her clear sight intensifiedthe purple sage-slope as itrolled before her. Low swells of prairie-like ground sloped up tothe west. Dark, lonely cedar-trees, few and far between, stoodoutstrikingly, and at long distances ruins of red rocks. Farther on, up thegradual slope, rose a broken wall, a huge monument, looming dark purpleand stretchingits solitary, mystic way, a wavering line that fadedin the north. Here to the westward was the light and color and beauty.Northward the slope descended to a dimline of canyons from which rosean up-flinging of the earth, not mountainous, but a vast heave of purpleuplands, with ribbed and fan-shaped walls, castle-crownedcliffs, andgray escarpments. Over it all crept the lengthening, waning afternoonshadows.The rapid beat of hoofs recalled Jane Withersteen to the question athand.A group of riders cantered up the lane, dismounted, and threwtheir bridles. They were seven in number, and Tull, the leader, a tall,dark man, was an elder ofJane's church.\"Did you get my message?\" he asked, curtly.\"Yes,\" replied Jane.\"I sent word I'd give that rider Venters half an hour to come down tothe village. Hedidn't come.\"\"He knows nothing of it;\" said Jane. \"I didn't tell him. I've beenwaiting here for you.\"\"Where is Venters?\"\"I left him in the courtyard.\"\"Here, Jerry,\"called Tull, turning to his men, \"take the gang and fetchVenters out here if you have to rope him.\"The dusty-booted and long-spurred riders clanked noisily intothe groveof cottonwoods and disappeared in the shade.\"Elder Tull, what do you mean by this?\" demanded Jane. \"If you mustarrest Venters you might have thecourtesy to wait till he leaves myhome. And if you do arrest him it will be adding insult to injury. It'sabsurd to accuse Venters of being mixed up in that shootingfray in thevillage last night. He was with me at the time. Besides, he let me takecharge of his guns. You're only using this as a pretext. What do youmean to do toVenters?\"\"I'll tell you presently,\" replied Tull. \"But first tell me why youdefend this worthless rider?\"\"Worthless!\" exclaimed Jane, indignantly. \"He's nothing of thekind.He was the best rider I ever had. There's not a reason why I shouldn'tchampion him and every reason why I should. It's no little shame to me,Elder Tull, thatthrough my friendship he has roused the enmity of mypeople and become an outcast. Besides I owe him eternal gratitude forsaving the life of little Fay.\"\"I'veheard of your love for Fay Larkin and that you intend to adopther. But--Jane Withersteen, the child is a Gentile!\"\"Yes. But, Elder, I don't love the Mormon childrenany less because Ilove a Gentile child. I shall adopt Fay if her mother will give her tome.\"\"I'm not so much against that. You can give the child Mormonteaching,\"said Tull. \"But I'm sick of seeing this fellow Venters hang around you.I'm going to put a stop to it. You've so much love to throw away onthese beggarsof Gentiles that I've an idea you might love Venters.\"Tull spoke with the arrogance of a Mormon whose power could not bebrooked and with the passion of a manin whom jealousy had kindled aconsuming fire.\"Maybe I do love him,\" said Jane. She felt both fear and anger stir herheart. \"I'd never thought of that. Poor fellow!he certainly needs someone to love him.\"\"This'll be a bad day for Venters unless you deny that,\" returned Tull,grimly.Tull's men appeared under the cottonwoodsand led a young man out intothe lane. His ragged clothes were those of an outcast. But he stood talland straight, his wide shoulders flung back, with the musclesof hisbound arms rippling and a blue flame of defiance in the gaze he bent onTull.For the first time Jane Withersteen felt Venters's real spirit. Shewondered if shewould love this splendid youth. Then her emotion cooledto the sobering sense of the issue at stake.\"Venters, will you leave Cottonwoods at once and forever?\"asked Tull,tensely.\"Why?\" rejoined the rider.\"Because I order it.\"Venters laughed in cool disdain.The red leaped to Tull's dark cheek.\"If you don't go it means yourruin,\" he said, sharply.\"Ruin!\" exclaimed Venters, passionately. \"Haven't you already ruined me?What do you call ruin? A year ago I was a rider. I had horses andcattleof my own. I had a good name in Cottonwoods. And now when I come intothe village to see this woman you set your men on me. You hound me. Youtrailme as if I were a rustler. I've no more to lose--except my life.\"\"Will you leave Utah?\"\"Oh! I know,\" went on Venters, tauntingly, \"it galls you, the idea ofbeautifulJane Withersteen being friendly to a poor Gentile. You wanther all yourself. You're a wiving Mormon. You have use for her--andWithersteen House and AmberSpring and seven thousand head of cattle!\"Tull's hard jaw protruded, and rioting blood corded the veins of hisneck.\"Once more. Will you go?\"\"NO!\"\"Then I'll haveyou whipped within an inch of your life,\" replied Tull,harshly. \"I'll turn you out in the sage. And if you ever come backyou'll get worse.\"Venters's agitated facegrew coldly set and the bronze changedJane impulsively stepped forward. \"Oh! Elder Tull!\" she cried. \"Youwon't do that!\"Tull lifted a shaking finger towardher.\"That'll do from you. Understand, you'll not be allowed to hold this boyto a friendship that's offensive to your Bishop. Jane Withersteen, yourfather left youwealth and power. It has turned your head. You haven'tyet come to see the place of Mormon women. We've reasoned with you,borne with you. We've patientlywaited. We've let you have your fling,which is more than I ever saw granted to a Mormon woman. But you haven'tcome to your senses. Now, once for all, youcan't have any furtherfriendship with Venters. He's going to be whipped, and he's got to leaveUtah!\"\"Oh! Don't whip him! It would be dastardly!\" implored Jane,with slowcertainty of her failing courage.Tull always blunted her spirit, and she grew conscious that she hadfeigned a boldness which she did not possess. Heloomed up now indifferent guise, not as a jealous suitor, but embodying the mysteriousdespotism she had known from childhood--the power of hercreed.\"Venters, will you take your whipping here or would you rather go outin the sage?\" asked Tull. He smiled a flinty smile that was morethan inhuman, yetseemed to give out of its dark aloofness a gleam ofrighteousness.\"I'll take it here--if I must,\" said Venters. \"But by God!--Tull you'dbetter kill me outright. That'llbe a dear whipping for you and yourpraying Mormons. You'll make me another Lassiter!\"The strange glow, the austere light which radiated from Tull's face,mighthave been a holy joy at the spiritual conception of exalted duty.But there was something more in him, barely hidden, a something personaland sinister, a deep ofhimself, an engulfing abyss. As his religiousmood was fanatical and inexorable, so would his physical hate bemerciless.\"Elder, I--I repent my words,\" Janefaltered. The religion in her, thelong habit of obedience, of humility, as well as agony of fear, spoke inher voice. \"Spare the boy!\" she whispered.\"You can't savehim now,\" replied Tull stridently.Her head was bowing to the inevitable. She was grasping the truth,when suddenly there came, in inward constriction, ahardening of gentleforces within her breast. Like a steel bar it was stiffening all thathad been soft and weak in her. She felt a birth in her of something newandunintelligible. Once more her strained gaze sought the sage-slopes.Jane Withersteen loved that wild and purple wilderness. In timesof sorrow it had been herstrength, in happiness its beauty was hercontinual delight. In her extremity she found herself murmuring, \"Whencecometh my help!\" It was a prayer, as if forthfrom those lonely purplereaches and walls of red and clefts of blue might ride a fearless man,neither creed-bound nor creed-mad, who would hold up a restraininghandin the faces of her ruthless people.The restless movements of Tull's men suddenly quieted down. Thenfollowed a low whisper, a rustle, a sharpexclamation.\"Look!\" said one, pointing to the west.\"A rider!\"Jane Withersteen wheeled and saw a horseman, silhouetted against thewestern sky, coming ridingout of the sage. He had ridden down from theleft, in the golden glare of the sun, and had been unobserved till closeat hand. An answer to her prayer!\"Do youknow him? Does any one know him?\" questioned Tull, hurriedly.His men looked and looked, and one by one shook their heads.\"He's come from far,\" said"}

ConclusionCHAPTER IUncle Indefer\"I have a conscience, my dear, on this matter,\" said an old gentlemanto a young lady, as the two were sittingin the breakfast parlour ofa country house which looked down from the cliffs over the sea on thecoast of Carmarthenshire.\"And so have I, Uncle Indefer; and asmy conscience is backed by myinclination, whereas yours is not--\"\"You think that I shall give way?\"\"I did not mean that.\"\"What then?\"\"If I could only make youunderstand how very strong is myinclination, or disinclination--how impossible to be conquered,then--\"\"What next?\"\"Then you would know that I could never giveway, as you call it, andyou would go to work with your own conscience to see whether it beimperative with you or not. You may be sure of this,--I shall neversaya word to you in opposition to your conscience. If there be aword to be spoken it must come from yourself.\"There was a long pause in the conversation, a silencefor an hour,during which the girl went in and out of the room and settled herselfdown at her work. Then the old man went back abruptly to the subjectthey haddiscussed. \"I shall obey my conscience.\"\"You ought to do so, Uncle Indefer. What should a man obey but hisconscience?\"\"Though it will break my heart.\"\"No; no,no!\"\"And will ruin you.\"\"That is a flea's bite. I can brave my ruin easily, but not yourbroken heart.\"\"Why should there be either, Isabel?\"\"Nay, sir; have you notsaid but now, because of our consciences?Not to save your heart from breaking,--though I think your heartis dearer to me than anything else in the world,--couldI marrymy cousin Henry. We must die together, both of us, you and I, orlive broken-hearted, or what not, sooner than that. Would I not doanything possible atyour bidding?\"\"I used to think so.\"\"But it is impossible for a young woman with a respect for herselfsuch as I have to submit herself to a man that she loathes. Doasyour conscience bids you with the old house. Shall I be less tenderto you while you live because I shall have to leave the place whenyou are dead? Shall Iaccuse you of injustice or unkindness inmy heart? Never! All that is only an outside circumstance to me,comparatively of little moment. But to be the wife of aman Idespise!\" Then she got up and left the room.A month passed by before the old man returned to the subject, whichhe did seated in the same room, at thesame hour of the day,--atabout four o'clock, when the dinner things had been removed.\"Isabel,\" he said, \"I cannot help myself.\"\"As to what, Uncle Indefer?\" Sheknew very well what was the matterin which, as he said, he could not help himself. Had there beenanything in which his age had wanted assistance from heryouth therewould have been no hesitation between them; no daughter was ever moretender; no father was ever more trusting. But on this subject itwasnecessary that he should speak more plainly before she could reply tohim.\"As to your cousin and the property.\"\"Then in God's name do not trouble yourselffurther in looking forhelp where there is none to be had. You mean that the estate ought togo to a man and not to a woman?\"\"It ought to go to a Jones.\"\"I am nota Jones, nor likely to become a Jones.\"\"You are as near to me as he is,--and so much dearer!\"\"But not on that account a Jones. My name is Isabel Brodrick. Awomannot born to be a Jones may have the luck to become one by marriage,but that will never be the case with me.\"\"You should not laugh at that which is to mea duty.\"\"Dear, dear uncle!\" she said, caressing him, \"if I seemed tolaugh\"--and she certainly had laughed when she spoke of the luck ofbecoming a Jones--\"it isonly that you may feel how little importanceI attach to it all on my own account.\"\"But it is important,--terribly important!\"\"Very well. Then go to work with twothings in your mind fixed asfate. One is that you must leave Llanfeare to your nephew HenryJones, and the other that I will not marry your nephew HenryJones.When it is all settled it will be just as though the old place wereentailed, as it used to be.\"\"I wish it were.\"\"So do I, if it would save you trouble.\"\"But it isn'tthe same;--it can't be the same. In getting back theland your grandfather sold I have spent the money I had saved foryou.\"\"It shall be all the same to me, and Iwill take pleasure in thinkingthat the old family place shall remain as you would have it. I can beproud of the family though I can never bear the name.\"\"You donot care a straw for the family.\"\"You should not say that, Uncle Indefer. It is not true. I careenough for the family to sympathise with you altogether in whatyouare doing, but not enough for the property to sacrifice myself inorder that I might have a share in it.\"\"I do not know why you should think so much evil ofHenry.\"\"Do you know any reason why I should think well enough of him tobecome his wife? I do not. In marrying a man a woman should be ableto love everylittle trick belonging to him. The parings of his nailsshould be a care to her. It should be pleasant to her to serve him inthings most menial. Would it be so to me,do you think, with HenryJones?\"\"You are always full of poetry and books.\"\"I should be full of something very bad if I were to allow myself tostand at the altar withhim. Drop it, Uncle Indefer. Get it out ofyour mind as a thing quite impossible. It is the one thing I can'tand won't do, even for you. It is the one thing that youought not toask me to do. Do as you like with the property,--as you think right.\"\"It is not as I like.\"\"As your conscience bids you, then; and I with myself, which istheonly little thing that I have in the world, will do as I like, or asmy conscience bids me.\"These last words she spoke almost roughly, and as she said them shelefthim, walking out of the room with an air of offended pride.But in this there was a purpose. If she were hard to him, hard andobstinate in her determination, thenwould he be enabled to be soalso to her in his determination, with less of pain to himself. Shefelt it to be her duty to teach him that he was justified in doingwhathe liked with his property, because she intended to do whatshe liked with herself. Not only would she not say a word towardsdissuading him from this change inhis old intentions, but she wouldmake the change as little painful to him as possible by teaching himto think that it was justified by her own manner to him.Forthere was a change, not only in his mind, but in his declaredintentions. Llanfeare had belonged to Indefer Joneses for manygenerations. When the late Squire haddied, now twenty years ago,there had been remaining out of ten children only one, the eldest,to whom the property now belonged. Four or five coming insuccessionafter him had died without issue. Then there had been a Henry Jones,who had gone away and married, had become the father of the HenryJones abovementioned, and had then also departed. The youngest, adaughter, had married an attorney named Brodrick, and she also haddied, having no other child butIsabel. Mr Brodrick had marriedagain, and was now the father of a large family, living at Hereford,where he carried on his business. He was not very \"well-to-do\"in theworld. The new Mrs Brodrick had preferred her own babies to Isabel,and Isabel when she was fifteen years of age had gone to her bacheloruncle atLlanfeare. There she had lived for the last ten years,making occasional visits to her father at Hereford.Mr Indefer Jones, who was now between seventy andeighty years old,was a gentleman who through his whole life had been disturbed byreflections, fears, and hopes as to the family property on which hehad beenborn, on which he had always lived, in possession of whichhe would certainly die, and as to the future disposition of whichit was his lot in life to be altogetherresponsible. It had beenentailed upon him before his birth in his grandfather's time, whenhis father was about to be married. But the entail had not beencarriedon. There had come no time in which this Indefer Jones hadbeen about to be married, and the former old man having been given toextravagance, and beengenerally in want of money, had felt it morecomfortable to be without an entail. His son had occasionally beeninduced to join with him in raising money. Thus notonly since he hadhimself owned the estate, but before his father's death, there hadbeen forced upon him reflections as to the destination of Llanfeare.At fifty hehad found himself unmarried, and unlikely to marry.His brother Henry was then alive; but Henry had disgraced thefamily,--had run away with a married womanwhom he had married aftera divorce, had taken to race courses and billiard-rooms, and had beenaltogether odious to his brother Indefer. Nevertheless the boywhichhad come from this marriage, a younger Henry, had been educated athis expense, and had occasionally been received at Llanfeare. Hehad been popularwith no one there, having been found to be a slyboy, given to lying, and, as even the servants said about the place,unlike a Jones of Llanfeare. Then had comethe time in which Isabelhad been brought to Llanfeare. Henry had been sent away from Oxfordfor some offence not altogether trivial, and the Squire haddeclaredto himself and others that Llanfeare should never fall into hishands.Isabel had so endeared herself to him that before she had beentwo years in the houseshe was the young mistress of the place.Everything that she did was right in his eyes. She might haveanything that she would ask, only that she would ask fornothing. Atthis time the cousin had been taken into an office in London, and hadbecome,--so it was said of him,--a steady young man of business. Butstill, whenallowed to show himself at Llanfeare, he was unpalatableto them all--unless it might be to the old Squire. It was certainlythe case that in his office in London hemade himself useful, and itseemed that he had abandoned that practice of running into debt andhaving the bills sent down to Llanfeare which he had adoptedearly inhis career.During all this time the old Squire was terribly troubled aboutthe property. His will was always close at his hand. Till Isabelwas twenty-one this"}

For as soon as he had removed the beaker the heavy bathhad jumped endwise from under his hand as though it were alive. It hadflown with terrific speedover the table, smashing apparatus and bottlesof chemicals on its way, and was even now disappearing through the openwindow. He seized his prism binocularsand focused them upon the flyingvessel, a speck in the distance. Through the glass he saw that it didnot fall to the ground, but continued on in a straight line,only itsrapidly diminishing size showing the enormous velocity with which it wasmoving. It grew smaller and smaller, and in a few momentsdisappearedutterly.The chemist turned as though in a trance. How was this? The copper bathhe had used for months was gone--gone like a shot, with nothing tomakeit go. Nothing, that is, except an electric cell and a few drops of theunknown solution. He looked at the empty space where it had stood, atthe broken glasscovering his laboratory table, and again stared out ofthe window.He was aroused from his stunned inaction by the entrance of his coloredlaboratory helper, andsilently motioned him to clean up the wreckage.\"What's happened, Doctah?\" asked the dusky assistant.\"Search me, Dan. I wish I knew, myself,\" respondedSeaton, absently,lost in wonder at the incredible phenomenon of which he had just been awitness.Ferdinand Scott, a chemist employed in the next room, enteredbreezily.\"Hello, Dicky, thought I heard a racket in here,\" the newcomer remarked.Then he saw the helper busily mopping up the reeking mass of chemicals.\"Greatballs of fire!\" he exclaimed. \"What've you been celebrating? Hadan explosion? How, what, and why?\"\"I can tell you the 'what,' and part of the 'how',\" Seatonrepliedthoughtfully, \"but as to the 'why,' I am completely in the dark. Here'sall I know about it,\" and in a few words he related the foregoingincident. Scott's faceshowed in turn interest, amazement, and pityingalarm. He took Seaton by the arm.\"Dick, old top, I never knew you to drink or dope, but this stuff surecame outof either a bottle or a needle. Did you see a pink serpentcarrying it away? Take my advice, old son, if you want to stay in UncleSam's service, and lay off the stuff,whatever it is. It's bad enough tocome down here so far gone that you wreck most of your apparatus andlose the rest of it, but to pull a yarn like that is going toofar. TheChief will have to ask for your resignation, sure. Why don't you take acouple of days of your leave and straighten up?\"Seaton paid no attention to him,and Scott returned to his ownlaboratory, shaking his head sadly.Seaton, with his mind in a whirl, walked slowly to his desk, picked uphis blackened and batteredbriar pipe, and sat down to study out what hehad done, or what could possibly have happened, to result in such anunbelievable infraction of all the laws ofmechanics and gravitation. Heknew that he was sober and sane, that the thing had actually happened.But why? And how? All his scientific training told him that itwasimpossible. It was unthinkable that an inert mass of metal should flyoff into space without any applied force. Since it had actuallyhappened, there must havebeen applied an enormous and hitherto unknownforce. What was that force? The reason for this unbelievablemanifestation of energy was certainly somewhere inthe solution, theelectrolytic cell, or the steam-bath. Concentrating all the power of hishighly-trained analytical mind upon the problem--deaf and blindtoeverything else, as was his wont when deeply interested--he satmotionless, with his forgotten pipe clenched between his teeth. Hourafter hour he sat there,while most of his fellow-chemists finished theday's work and left the building and the room slowly darkened with thecoming of night.Finally he jumped up.Crashing his hand down upon the desk, heexclaimed:\"I have liberated the intra-atomic energy of copper! Copper, 'X,' andelectric current!\"I'm sure a fool forluck!\" he continued as a new thought struck him.\"Suppose it had been liberated all at once? Probably blown the wholeworld off its hinges. But it wasn't: it wasgiven off slowly and in astraight line. Wonder why? Talk about power! Infinite! Believe me, I'llshow this whole Bureau of Chemistry something to make their eyesstickout, tomorrow. If they won't let me go ahead and develop it, I'llresign, hunt up some more 'X', and do it myself. That bath is on its wayto the moon rightnow, and there's no reason why I can't follow it.Martin's such a fanatic on exploration, he'll fall all over himself tobuild us any kind of a craft we'll need ... we'llexplore the wholesolar system! Great Cat, what a chance! A fool for luck is right!\"He came to himself with a start. He switched on the lights and saw thatit wasten o'clock. Simultaneously he recalled that he was to have haddinner with his fiancée at her home, their first dinner since theirengagement. Cursing himself foran idiot he hastily left the building,and soon his motorcycle was tearing up Connecticut Avenue toward hissweetheart's home.CHAPTER IISteel BecomesInterestedDr. Marc DuQuesne was in his laboratory, engaged in a research uponcertain of the rare metals, particularly in regard to theirelectrochemicalproperties. He was a striking figure. Well over six feettall, unusually broad-shouldered even for his height, he was plainly aman of enormous physical strength. Histhick, slightly wavy hair wasblack. His eyes, only a trifle lighter in shade, were surmounted byheavy black eyebrows which grew together above his aquilinenose.Scott strolled into the room, finding DuQuesne leaning over a delicateelectrical instrument, his forbidding but handsome face strangelyilluminated by theghastly glare of his mercury-vapor arcs.\"Hello, Blackie,\" Scott began. \"I thought it was Seaton in here atfirst. A fellow has to see your faces to tell you two apart.Speaking ofSeaton, d'you think that he's quite right?\"\"I should say, off-hand, that he was a little out of control last nightand this morning,\" replied DuQuesne,manipulating connections with hislong, muscular fingers. \"I don't think that he's insane, and I don'tbelieve that he dopes--probably overwork and nervous strain.He'll beall right in a day or two.\"\"I think he's a plain nut, myself. That sure was a wild yarn he sprungon us, wasn't it? His imagination was hitting on all twelve,that'ssure. He seems to believe it himself, though, in spite of making a flatfailure of his demonstration to us this morning. He saved that wastesolution he wasworking on--what was left of that carboy of platinumresidues after he had recovered all the values, you know--and got themto put it up at auction this noon. Heresigned from the Bureau, and heand M. Reynolds Crane, that millionaire friend of his, bid it in for tencents.\"\"M. Reynolds Crane?\" DuQuesne concealed a start ofsurprise. \"Where doeshe come in on this?\"\"Oh, they're always together in everything. They've been thicker thanDamon and Pythias for a long time. They playtennis together--they'redoubles champions of the District, you know--and all kinds of things.Wherever you find one of them you'll usually find the other.Anyway,after they got the solution Crane took Seaton in his car, and somebodysaid they went out to Crane's house. Probably trying to humor him. Well,ta-ta;I've got a week's work to do yet today.\"As Scott left DuQuesne dropped his work and went to his desk, with a newexpression, half of chagrin, half of admiration,on his face. Picking uphis telephone, he called a number.\"Brookings?\" he asked, cautiously. \"This is DuQuesne. I must see youimmediately. There's something bigstarted that may as well belong tous.... No, can't say anything over the telephone.... Yes, I'll be rightout.\"He left the laboratory and soon was in the private officeof the head ofthe Washington or \"diplomatic\" branch, as it was known in certaincircles, of the great World Steel Corporation. Offices and laboratoriesweremaintained in the city, ostensibly for research work, but inreality to be near the center of political activity.\"How do you do, Doctor DuQuesne?\" Brookings said as"}

Wells1896I. THE PRINCIPAL CHARACTER IN THE STORYIf you (presuming you are of the sex that does such things)--ifyou hadgone into the Drapery Emporium--which is really only magnificent forshop--of Messrs. Antrobus & Co.--a perfectly fictitious \"Co.,\" bythe bye--of Putney,on the 14th of August, 1895, had turned to theright-hand side, where the blocks of white linen and piles of blanketsrise up to the rail from which the pink andblue prints depend, youmight have been served by the central figure of this story that is nowbeginning. He would have come forward, bowing and swaying, hewould haveextended two hands with largish knuckles and enormous cuffs over thecounter, and he would have asked you, protruding a pointed chin andwithoutthe slightest anticipation of pleasure in his manner, what hemight have the pleasure of showing you. Under certain circumstances--as,for instance, hats, babylinen, gloves, silks, lace, or curtains--hewould simply have bowed politely, and with a drooping expression, andmaking a kind of circular sweep, invited you to\"step this way,\"and so led you beyond his ken; but under other and happierconditions,--huckaback, blankets, dimity, cretonne, linen, calico, arecases inpoint,--he would have requested you to take a seat, emphasisingthe hospitality by leaning over the counter and gripping a chair back ina spasmodic manner, andso proceeded to obtain, unfold, and exhibithis goods for your consideration. Under which happier circumstances youmight--if of an observing turn of mind and nottoo much of a housewifeto be inhuman--have given the central figure of this story less cursoryattention.Now if you had noticed anything about him, it would havebeen chiefly tonotice how little he was noticeable. He wore the black morning coat, theblack tie, and the speckled grey nether parts (descending into shadowandmystery below the counter) of his craft. He was of a pallidcomplexion, hair of a kind of dirty fairness, greyish eyes, and askimpy, immature moustache under hispeaked indeterminate nose.His features were all small, but none ill-shaped. A rosette of pinsdecorated the lappel of his coat. His remarks, you would observe,wereentirely what people used to call cliche, formulae not organic to theoccasion, but stereotyped ages ago and learnt years since by heart.\"This, madam,\" hewould say, \"is selling very well.\" \"We are doing avery good article at four three a yard.\" \"We could show you somethingbetter, of course.\" \"No trouble, madam, Iassure you.\" Such were thesimple counters of his intercourse. So, I say, he would have presentedhimself to your superficial observation. He would have dancedaboutbehind the counter, have neatly refolded the goods he had shown you,have put on one side those you selected, extracted a little book witha carbon leaf anda tinfoil sheet from a fixture, made you out a littlebill in that weak flourishing hand peculiar to drapers, and have bawled\"Sayn!\" Then a puffy little shop-walkerwould have come into view,looked at the bill for a second, very hard (showing you a partingdown the middle of his head meanwhile), have scribbled a stillmoreflourishing J. M. all over the document, have asked you if therewas nothing more, have stood by you--supposing that you were payingcash--until the centralfigure of this story reappeared with the change.One glance more at him, and the puffy little shop-walker would have beenbowing you out, with fountains ofcivilities at work all about you. Andso the interview would have terminated.But real literature, as distinguished from anecdote, does not concernitself withsuperficial appearances alone. Literature is revelation.Modern literature is indecorous revelation. It is the duty of theearnest author to tell you what you would nothave seen--even at thecost of some blushes. And the thing that you would not have seen aboutthis young man, and the thing of the greatest moment to thisstory, thething that must be told if the book is to be written, was--let us faceit bravely--the Remarkable Condition of this Young Man's Legs.Let us approach thebusiness with dispassionate explicitness. Let usassume something of the scientific spirit, the hard, almost professorialtone of the conscientious realist. Let us treatthis young man's legs asa mere diagram, and indicate the points of interest with the unemotionalprecision of a lecturer's pointer. And so to our revelation. Ontheinternal aspect of the right ankle of this young man you would haveobserved, ladies and gentlemen, a contusion and an abrasion; on theinternal aspect of theleft ankle a contusion also; on its externalaspect a large yellowish bruise. On his left shin there were twobruises, one a leaden yellow graduating here and thereinto purple,and another, obviously of more recent date, of a blotchy red--tumid andthreatening. Proceeding up the left leg in a spiral manner, anunnaturalhardness and redness would have been discovered on the upper aspect ofthe calf, and above the knee and on the inner side, an extraordinaryexpanseof bruised surface, a kind of closely stippled shading ofcontused points. The right leg would be found to be bruised in amarvellous manner all about and under theknee, and particularly on theinterior aspect of the knee. So far we may proceed with our details.Fired by these discoveries, an investigator might perhaps havepursuedhis inquiries further--to bruises on the shoulders, elbows, and even thefinger joints, of the central figure of our story. He had indeed beenbumped andbattered at an extraordinary number of points. But enoughof realistic description is as good as a feast, and we have exhibitedenough for our purpose. Even inliterature one must know where to drawthe line.Now the reader may be inclined to wonder how a respectable young shopmanshould have got his legs, and indeedhimself generally, into such adreadful condition. One might fancy that he had been sitting with hisnether extremities in some complicated machinery, athreshing-machine,say, or one of those hay-making furies. But Sherlock Holmes (now happilydead) would have fancied nothing of the kind. He would haverecognisedat once that the bruises on the internal aspect of the left leg,considered in the light of the distribution of the other abrasions andcontusions, pointedunmistakably to the violent impact of the MountingBeginner upon the bicycling saddle, and that the ruinous state of theright knee was equally eloquent of theconcussions attendant on thatperson's hasty, frequently causeless, and invariably ill-conceiveddescents. One large bruise on the shin is even more characteristicofthe 'prentice cyclist, for upon every one of them waits the jest of theunexpected treadle. You try at least to walk your machine in an easymanner, andwhack!--you are rubbing your shin. So out of innocence weripen. Two bruises on that place mark a certain want of aptitude inlearning, such as one might expectin a person unused to muscularexercise. Blisters on the hands are eloquent of the nervous clutchof the wavering rider. And so forth, until Sherlock ispresentlyexplaining, by the help of the minor injuries, that the machine riddenis an old-fashioned affair with a fork instead of the diamond frame, acushioned tire,well worn on the hind wheel, and a gross weight all onof perhaps three-and-forty pounds.The revelation is made. Behind the decorous figure of theattentiveshopman that I had the honour of showing you at first, rises a visionof a nightly struggle, of two dark figures and a machine in a darkroad,--the road, tobe explicit, from Roehampton to Putney Hill,--andwith this vision is the sound of a heel spurning the gravel, a gaspingand grunting, a shouting of \"Steer, man,steer!\" a wavering unsteadyflight, a spasmodic turning of the missile edifice of man and machine,and a collapse. Then you descry dimly through the dusk thecentralfigure of this story sitting by the roadside and rubbing his leg atsome new place, and his friend, sympathetic (but by no means depressed),repairing thedisplacement of the handle-bar.Thus even in a shop assistant does the warmth of manhood assert itself,and drive him against all the conditions of his calling,against thecounsels of prudence and the restrictions of his means, to seek thewholesome delights of exertion and danger and pain. And our firstexamination ofthe draper reveals beneath his draperies--the man! Towhich initial fact (among others) we shall come again in the end.IIBut enough of these revelations. Thecentral figure of our story is nowgoing along behind the counter, a draper indeed, with your purchases inhis arms, to the warehouse, where the various articlesyou have selectedwill presently be packed by the senior porter and sent to you. Returningthence to his particular place, he lays hands on a folded pieceofgingham, and gripping the corners of the folds in his hands, begins tostraighten them punctiliously. Near him is an apprentice, apprenticed tothe same highcalling of draper's assistant, a ruddy, red-haired ladin a very short tailless black coat and a very high collar, who isdeliberately unfolding and refolding somepatterns of cretonne. Bytwenty-one he too may hope to be a full-blown assistant, even as Mr.Hoopdriver. Prints depend from the brass rails above them, behindarefixtures full of white packages containing, as inscriptions testify,Lino, Hd Bk, and Mull. You might imagine to see them that the two wereboth intent uponnothing but smoothness of textile and rectitude offold. But to tell the truth, neither is thinking of the mechanicalduties in hand. The assistant is dreaming of thedelicious time--onlyfour hours off now--when he will resume the tale of his bruises andabrasions. The apprentice is nearer the long long thoughts of boyhood,andhis imagination rides cap-a-pie through the chambers of his brain,seeking some knightly quest in honour of that Fair Lady, the last butone of the girl apprenticesto the dress-making upstairs. He inclinesrather to street fighting against revolutionaries--because then shecould see him from the window.Jerking them back tothe present comes the puffy little shop-walker,with a paper in his hand. The apprentice becomes extremely active. Theshopwalker eyes the goods in hand.\"Hoopdriver,\" he says, \"how's thatline of g-sez-x ginghams?\"Hoopdriver returns from an imaginary triumph over the uncertainties ofdismounting. \"They're goingfairly well, sir. But the larger checks seemhanging.\"The shop-walker brings up parallel to the counter. \"Any particular timewhen you want your holidays?\" heasks.Hoopdriver pulls at his skimpy moustache. \"No--Don't want them too late,sir, of course.\"\"How about this day week?\"Hoopdriver becomes rigidly meditative,gripping the corners of thegingham folds in his hands. His face is eloquent of conflictingconsiderations. Can he learn it in a week? That's the question.Otherwise"}

DICKILLUSTRATED BYEBEL    He fixed things--clocks, refrigerators, vidsenders and    destinies. But he had no business in the future, where the    calculators could not handle him. Hewas Earth's only    hope--and its sure failure!Security Commissioner Reinhart rapidly climbed the front steps andentered the Council building. Council guardsstepped quickly aside andhe entered the familiar place of great whirring machines. His thinface rapt, eyes alight with emotion, Reinhart gazed intently up atthecentral SRB computer, studying its reading.\"Straight gain for the last quarter,\" observed Kaplan, the laborganizer. He grinned proudly, as if personallyresponsible. \"Not bad,Commissioner.\"\"We're catching up to them,\" Reinhart retorted. \"But too damn slowly.We must finally go over--and soon.\"Kaplan was in atalkative mood. \"We design new offensive weapons, theycounter with improved defenses. And nothing is actually made!Continual improvement, but neither wenor Centaurus can stop designinglong enough to stabilize for production.\"\"It will end,\" Reinhart stated coldly, \"as soon as Terra turns out aweapon for whichCentaurus can build no defense.\"\"Every weapon has a defense. Design and discord. Immediateobsolescence. Nothing lasts long enough to--\"\"What we count on isthe _lag_,\" Reinhart broke in, annoyed. His hardgray eyes bored into the lab organizer and Kaplan slunk back. \"Thetime lag between our offensive design andtheir counter development.The lag varies.\" He waved impatiently toward the massed banks of SRBmachines. \"As you well know.\"At this moment, 9:30 AM, May 7,2136, the statistical ratio on the SRBmachines stood at 21-17 on the Centauran side of the ledger. All factsconsidered, the odds favored a successful repulsion byProximaCentaurus of a Terran military attack. The ratio was based on thetotal information known to the SRB machines, on a gestalt of the vastflow of data thatpoured in endlessly from all sectors of the Sol andCentaurus systems.21-17 on the Centauran side. But a month ago it had been 24-18 in theenemy's favor.Things were improving, slowly but steadily. Centaurus,older and less virile than Terra, was unable to match Terra's rate oftechnocratic advance. Terra was pullingahead.\"If we went to war now,\" Reinhart said thoughtfully, \"we would lose.We're not far enough along to risk an overt attack.\" A harsh, ruthlessglow twistedacross his handsome features, distorting them into astern mask. \"But the odds are moving in our favor. Our offensivedesigns are gradually gaining on theirdefenses.\"\"Let's hope the war comes soon,\" Kaplan agreed. \"We're all on edge.This damn waiting....\"The war would come soon. Reinhart knew it intuitively. Theair wasfull of tension, the _elan_. He left the SRB rooms and hurried downthe corridor to his own elaborately guarded office in the Securitywing. It wouldn't belong. He could practically feel the hot breath ofdestiny on his neck--for him a pleasant feeling. His thin lips set ina humorless smile, showing an even line of whiteteeth against histanned skin. It made him feel good, all right. He'd been working at ita long time.First contact, a hundred years earlier, had ignited instantconflictbetween Proxima Centauran outposts and exploring Terran raiders. Flashfights, sudden eruptions of fire and energy beams.And then the long, dreary yearsof inaction between enemies wherecontact required years of travel, even at nearly the speed of light.The two systems were evenly matched. Screen againstscreen. Warshipagainst power station. The Centauran Empire surrounded Terra, an ironring that couldn't be broken, rusty and corroded as it was. Radicalnewweapons had to be conceived, if Terra was to break out.Through the windows of his office, Reinhart could see endlessbuildings and streets, Terrans hurrying backand forth. Bright specksthat were commute ships, little eggs that carried businessmen andwhite-collar workers around. The huge transport tubes that shotmassesof workmen to factories and labor camps from their housing units. Allthese people, waiting to break out. Waiting for the day.Reinhart snapped on hisvidscreen, the confidential channel. \"Give meMilitary Designs,\" he ordered sharply.       *       *       *       *       *He sat tense, his wiry body taut, as thevidscreen warmed into life.Abruptly he was facing the hulking image of Peter Sherikov, directorof the vast network of labs under the Ural Mountains.Sherikov'sgreat bearded features hardened as he recognized Reinhart.His bushy black eyebrows pulled up in a sullen line. \"What do youwant? You know I'm busy. We havetoo much work to do, as it is.Without being bothered by--politicians.\"\"I'm dropping over your way,\" Reinhart answered lazily. He adjustedthe cuff of hisimmaculate gray cloak. \"I want a full description ofyour work and whatever progress you've made.\"\"You'll find a regular departmental report plate filed in theusualway, around your office someplace. If you'll refer to that you'll knowexactly what we--\"\"I'm not interested in that. I want to _see_ what you're doing. AndIexpect you to be prepared to describe your work fully. I'll be thereshortly. Half an hour.\"       *       *       *       *       *Reinhart cut the circuit. Sherikov's heavyfeatures dwindled andfaded. Reinhart relaxed, letting his breath out. Too bad he had towork with Sherikov. He had never liked the man. The big Polishscientistwas an individualist, refusing to integrate himself withsociety. Independent, atomistic in outlook. He held concepts of theindividual as an end, diametricallycontrary to the accepted organicstate Weltansicht.But Sherikov was the leading research scientist, in charge of theMilitary Designs Department. And on Designsthe whole future of Terradepended. Victory over Centaurus--or more waiting, bottled up in theSol System, surrounded by a rotting, hostile Empire, now sinkingintoruin and decay, yet still strong.Reinhart got quickly to his feet and left the office. He hurried downthe hall and out of the Council building.A few minutes laterhe was heading across the mid-morning sky in hishighspeed cruiser, toward the Asiatic land-mass, the vast Uralmountain range. Toward the Military Designslabs.Sherikov met him at the entrance. \"Look here, Reinhart. Don't thinkyou're going to order me around. I'm not going to--\"\"Take it easy.\" Reinhart fell into stepbeside the bigger man. Theypassed through the check and into the auxiliary labs. \"No immediatecoercion will be exerted over you or your staff. You're freetocontinue your work as you see fit--for the present. Let's get thisstraight. My concern is to integrate your work with our total socialneeds. As long as your work issufficiently productive--\"Reinhart stopped in his tracks.\"Pretty, isn't he?\" Sherikov said ironically.\"What the hell is it?\"Icarus, we call him. Remember the Greekmyth? The legend of Icarus.Icarus flew.... This Icarus is going to fly, one of these days.\"Sherikov shrugged. \"You can examine him, if you want. I suppose thisiswhat you came here to see.\"Reinhart advanced slowly. \"This is the weapon you've been working on?\"\"How does he look?\"Rising up in the center of the chamberwas a squat metal cylinder, agreat ugly cone of dark gray. Technicians circled around it, wiring upthe exposed relay banks. Reinhart caught a glimpse of endlesstubesand filaments, a maze of wires and terminals and parts criss-crossingeach other, layer on layer.\"What is it?\" Reinhart perched on the edge of a workbench,leaning hisbig shoulders against the wall. \"An idea of Jamison Hedge--the sameman who developed our instantaneous interstellar vidcasts forty yearsago. He wastrying to find a method of faster than light travel whenhe was killed, destroyed along with most of his work. After that ftlresearch was abandoned. It looked as ifthere were no future in it.\"\"Wasn't it shown that nothing could travel faster than light?\"\"The interstellar vidcasts do! No, Hedge developed a valid ftl drive.Hemanaged to propel an object at fifty times the speed of light. Butas the object gained speed, its length began to diminish and its massincreased. This was in linewith familiar twentieth-century conceptsof mass-energy transformation. We conjectured that as Hedge's objectgained velocity it would continue to lose length andgain mass untilits length became nil and its mass infinite. Nobody can imagine suchan object.\"\"Go on.\"\"But what actually occurred is this. Hedge's objectcontinued to loselength and gain mass until it reached the theoretical limit ofvelocity, the speed of light. At that point the object, still gainingspeed, simply ceasedto exist. Having no length, it ceased to occupyspace. It disappeared. However, the object had not been _destroyed_.It continued on its way, gaining momentumeach moment, moving in anarc across the galaxy, away from the Sol system. Hedge's objectentered some other realm of being, beyond our powers ofconception.The next phase of Hedge's experiment consisted in a search for someway to slow the ftl object down, back to a sub-ftl speed, hence backinto ouruniverse. This counterprinciple was eventually worked out.\"\"With what result?\"\"The death of Hedge and destruction of most of his equipment. Hisexperimentalobject, in re-entering the space-time universe, came intobeing in space already occupied by matter. Possessing an incrediblemass, just below infinity level,Hedge's object exploded in a titaniccataclysm. It was obvious that no space travel was possible with sucha drive. Virtually all space contains _some_ matter. Tore-enter spacewould bring automatic destruction. Hedge had found his ftl drive andhis counterprinciple, but no one before this has been able to put themto anyuse.\"Reinhart walked over toward the great metal cylinder. Sherikov jumpeddown and followed him. \"I don't get it,\" Reinhart said. \"You said theprinciple is nogood for space travel.\"\"That's right.\"\"What's this for, then? If the ship explodes as soon as it returns toour universe--\"\"This is not a ship.\" Sherikov grinned slyly.\"Icarus is the firstpractical application of Hedge's principles. Icarus is a bomb.\"\"So this is our weapon,\" Reinhart said. \"A bomb. An immense bomb.\"\"A bomb,moving at a velocity greater than light. A bomb which willnot exist in our universe. The Centaurans won't be able to detect orstop it. How could they? As soon asit passes the speed of light itwill cease to exist--beyond all detection.\"\"But--\"\"Icarus will be launched outside the lab, on the surface. He willalign himself withProxima Centaurus, gaining speed rapidly. By thetime he reaches his destination he will be traveling at ftl-100.Icarus will be brought back to this universe within"}

HTML version by AlHaines.The Age of InnocencebyEdith WhartonJTABLE 6 18 1JTABLE 6 16 19Book II.On a January evening of the early seventies, Christine Nilsson wassinging inFaust at the Academy of Music in New York.Though there was already talk of the erection, in remote metropolitandistances \"above the Forties,\" of a new OperaHouse which shouldcompete in costliness and splendour with those of the great Europeancapitals, the world of fashion was still content to reassemble everywinterin the shabby red and gold boxes of the sociable old Academy.Conservatives cherished it for being small and inconvenient, and thuskeeping out the \"new people\"whom New York was beginning to dread andyet be drawn to; and the sentimental clung to it for its historicassociations, and the musical for its excellent acoustics,always soproblematic a quality in halls built for the hearing of music.It was Madame Nilsson's first appearance that winter, and what thedaily press had alreadylearned to describe as \"an exceptionallybrilliant audience\" had gathered to hear her, transported through theslippery, snowy streets in private broughams, in thespacious familylandau, or in the humbler but more convenient \"Brown coupe.\" To come tothe Opera in a Brown coupe was almost as honourable a way ofarrivingas in one's own carriage; and departure by the same means had theimmense advantage of enabling one (with a playful allusion todemocratic principles)to scramble into the first Brown conveyance inthe line, instead of waiting till the cold-and-gin congested nose ofone's own coachman gleamed under the portico ofthe Academy.  It wasone of the great livery-stableman's most masterly intuitions to havediscovered that Americans want to get away from amusement evenmorequickly than they want to get to it.When Newland Archer opened the door at the back of the club box thecurtain had just gone up on the gardenscene.  There was no reason whythe young man should not have come earlier, for he had dined at seven,alone with his mother and sister, and had lingeredafterward over acigar in the Gothic library with glazed black-walnut bookcases andfinial-topped chairs which was the only room in the house where Mrs.Archerallowed smoking.  But, in the first place, New York was ametropolis, and perfectly aware that in metropolises it was \"not thething\" to arrive early at the opera;and what was or was not \"thething\" played a part as important in Newland Archer's New York as theinscrutable totem terrors that had ruled the destinies ofhisforefathers thousands of years ago.The second reason for his delay was a personal one.  He had dawdledover his cigar because he was at heart a dilettante,and thinking overa pleasure to come often gave him a subtler satisfaction than itsrealisation.  This was especially the case when the pleasure was adelicate one,as his pleasures mostly were; and on this occasion themoment he looked forward to was so rare and exquisite in qualitythat--well, if he had timed his arrival inaccord with the primadonna's stage-manager he could not have entered the Academy at a moresignificant moment than just as she was singing:  \"He lovesme--heloves me not--HE LOVES ME!--\" and sprinkling the falling daisy petalswith notes as clear as dew.She sang, of course, \"M'ama!\" and not \"he loves me,\"since anunalterable and unquestioned law of the musical world required that theGerman text of French operas sung by Swedish artists should betranslated intoItalian for the clearer understanding ofEnglish-speaking audiences.  This seemed as natural to Newland Archeras all the other conventions on which his life wasmoulded: such as theduty of using two silver-backed brushes with his monogram in blueenamel to part his hair, and of never appearing in society without aflower(preferably a gardenia) in his buttonhole.\"M'ama ... non m'ama ...\" the prima donna sang, and \"M'ama!\", with afinal burst of love triumphant, as she pressed thedishevelled daisy toher lips and lifted her large eyes to the sophisticated countenance ofthe little brown Faust-Capoul, who was vainly trying, in a tightpurplevelvet doublet and plumed cap, to look as pure and true as his artlessvictim.Newland Archer, leaning against the wall at the back of the club box,turned hiseyes from the stage and scanned the opposite side of thehouse.  Directly facing him was the box of old Mrs. Manson Mingott,whose monstrous obesity had longsince made it impossible for her toattend the Opera, but who was always represented on fashionable nightsby some of the younger members of the family.  Onthis occasion, thefront of the box was filled by her daughter-in-law, Mrs. LovellMingott, and her daughter, Mrs. Welland; and slightly withdrawn behindthesebrocaded matrons sat a young girl in white with eyes ecstaticallyfixed on the stagelovers.  As Madame Nilsson's \"M'ama!\" thrilled outabove the silent house (theboxes always stopped talking during theDaisy Song) a warm pink mounted to the girl's cheek, mantled her browto the roots of her fair braids, and suffused theyoung slope of herbreast to the line where it met a modest tulle tucker fastened with asingle gardenia.  She dropped her eyes to the immense bouquetoflilies-of-the-valley on her knee, and Newland Archer saw herwhite-gloved finger-tips touch the flowers softly.  He drew a breath ofsatisfied vanity and his eyesreturned to the stage.No expense had been spared on the setting, which was acknowledged to bevery beautiful even by people who shared his acquaintance withtheOpera houses of Paris and Vienna.  The foreground, to the footlights,was covered with emerald green cloth.  In the middle distancesymmetrical mounds ofwoolly green moss bounded by croquet hoops formedthe base of shrubs shaped like orange-trees but studded with large pinkand red roses.  Gigantic pansies,considerably larger than the roses,and closely resembling the floral pen-wipers made by femaleparishioners for fashionable clergymen, sprang from the mossbeneaththe rose-trees; and here and there a daisy grafted on a rose-branchflowered with a luxuriance prophetic of Mr. Luther Burbank's far-offprodigies.In thecentre of this enchanted garden Madame Nilsson, in whitecashmere slashed with pale blue satin, a reticule dangling from a bluegirdle, and large yellow braidscarefully disposed on each side of hermuslin chemisette, listened with downcast eyes to M. Capoul'simpassioned wooing, and affected a guileless incomprehensionof hisdesigns whenever, by word or glance, he persuasively indicated theground floor window of the neat brick villa projecting obliquely fromthe right wing.\"Thedarling!\" thought Newland Archer, his glance flitting back to theyoung girl with the lilies-of-the-valley.  \"She doesn't even guess whatit's all about.\" And hecontemplated her absorbed young face with athrill of possessorship in which pride in his own masculine initiationwas mingled with a tender reverence for herabysmal purity.  \"We'llread Faust together ... by the Italian lakes ...\" he thought, somewhathazily confusing the scene of his projected honey-moon withthemasterpieces of literature which it would be his manly privilege toreveal to his bride.  It was only that afternoon that May Welland hadlet him guess that she\"cared\" (New York's consecrated phrase of maidenavowal), and already his imagination, leaping ahead of the engagementring, the betrothal kiss and the marchfrom Lohengrin, pictured her athis side in some scene of old European witchery.He did not in the least wish the future Mrs. Newland Archer to be asimpleton.  Hemeant her (thanks to his enlightening companionship) todevelop a social tact and readiness of wit enabling her to hold her ownwith the most popular marriedwomen of the \"younger set,\" in which itwas the recognised custom to attract masculine homage while playfullydiscouraging it.  If he had probed to the bottom ofhis vanity (as hesometimes nearly did) he would have found there the wish that his wifeshould be as worldly-wise and as eager to please as the marriedladywhose charms had held his fancy through two mildly agitated years;without, of course, any hint of the frailty which had so nearly marredthat unhappy being'slife, and had disarranged his own plans for awhole winter.How this miracle of fire and ice was to be created, and to sustainitself in a harsh world, he had nevertaken the time to think out; buthe was content to hold his view without analysing it, since he knew itwas that of all the carefully-brushed,white-waistcoated,button-hole-flowered gentlemen who succeeded each other in the clubbox, exchanged friendly greetings with him, and turnedtheiropera-glasses critically on the circle of ladies who were the productof the system.  In matters intellectual and artistic Newland Archerfelt himself distinctly thesuperior of these chosen specimens of oldNew York gentility; he had probably read more, thought more, and evenseen a good deal more of the world, than anyother man of the number.Singly they betrayed their inferiority; but grouped together theyrepresented \"New York,\" and the habit of masculine solidarity madehimaccept their doctrine on all the issues called moral.  He instinctivelyfelt that in this respect it would be troublesome--and also rather badform--to strike out forhimself.\"Well--upon my soul!\" exclaimed Lawrence Lefferts, turning hisopera-glass abruptly away from the stage.  Lawrence Lefferts was, onthe whole, theforemost authority on \"form\" in New York.  He hadprobably devoted more time than any one else to the study of thisintricate and fascinating question; but studyalone could not accountfor his complete and easy competence.  One had only to look at him,from the slant of his bald forehead and the curve of his beautifulfairmoustache to the long patent-leather feet at the other end of his leanand elegant person, to feel that the knowledge of \"form\" must becongenital in any onewho knew how to wear such good clothes socarelessly and carry such height with so much lounging grace.  As ayoung admirer had once said of him:  \"If anybodycan tell a fellow justwhen to wear a black tie with evening clothes and when not to, it'sLarry Lefferts.\"  And on the question of pumps versuspatent-leather\"Oxfords\" his authority had never been disputed.\"My God!\" he said; and silently handed his glass to old SillertonJackson.Newland Archer, followingLefferts's glance, saw with surprise that hisexclamation had been occasioned by the entry of a new figure into oldMrs. Mingott's box.  It was that of a slim youngwoman, a little lesstall than May Welland, with brown hair growing in close curls about hertemples and held in place by a narrow band of diamonds.  Thesuggestionof this headdress, which gave her what was then called a \"Josephinelook,\" was carried out in the cut of the dark blue velvet gown rathertheatrically"}

M. SyngePREFACEIn writing THE PLAYBOY OF THE WESTERN WORLD, as in my other plays, Ihave usedone or two words only that I have not heard among the countrypeople of Ireland, or spoken in my own nursery before I could read thenewspapers. A certainnumber of the phrases I employ I have heard alsofrom herds and fishermen along the coast from Kerry to Mayo, orfrom beggar-women and ballad-singers nearerDublin; and I am glad toacknowledge how much I owe to the folk imagination of these fine people.Anyone who has lived in real intimacy with the Irish peasantrywillknow that the wildest sayings and ideas in this play are tame indeed,compared with the fancies one may hear in any little hillside cabin inGeesala, or Carraroe,or Dingle Bay. All art is a collaboration; andthere is little doubt that in the happy ages of literature, strikingand beautiful phrases were as ready to thestory-teller's or theplaywright's hand, as the rich cloaks and dresses of his time. It isprobable that when the Elizabethan dramatist took his ink-horn and satdownto his work he used many phrases that he had just heard, as he satat dinner, from his mother or his children. In Ireland, those of us whoknow the people havethe same privilege. When I was writing \"The Shadowof the Glen,\" some years ago, I got more aid than any learning couldhave given me from a chink in the floorof the old Wicklow house whereI was staying, that let me hear what was being said by the servant girlsin the kitchen. This matter, I think, is of importance, for incountrieswhere the imagination of the people, and the language they use, is richand living, it is possible for a writer to be rich and copious in hiswords, and at thesame time to give the reality, which is the rootof all poetry, in a comprehensive and natural form. In the modernliterature of towns, however, richness is foundonly in sonnets, orprose poems, or in one or two elaborate books that are far away from theprofound and common interests of life. One has, on one side,Mallarmeand Huysmans producing this literature; and on the other, Ibsen and Zoladealing with the reality of life in joyless and pallid words. On thestage onemust have reality, and one must have joy; and that is why theintellectual modern drama has failed, and people have grown sick of thefalse joy of the musicalcomedy, that has been given them in place ofthe rich joy found only in what is superb and wild in reality. In a goodplay every speech should be as fully flavouredas a nut or apple, andsuch speeches cannot be written by anyone who works among people whohave shut their lips on poetry. In Ireland, for a few years more,wehave a popular imagination that is fiery and magnificent, and tender; sothat those of us who wish to write start with a chance that is not givento writers inplaces where the springtime of the local life has beenforgotten, and the harvest is a memory only, and the straw has beenturned into bricks.

(She directs theletter.) To Mister Sheamus Mulroy, Wine andSpirit Dealer, Castlebar.SHAWN -- [uneasily.] -- I didn't see him on the road.PEGEEN. How would you see him (licks stamp and puts it on letter) and itdark nightthis half hour gone by?SHAWN -- [turning towards the door again.] -- I stood a while outsidewondering would I have a right to pass on or to walk in and seeyou,Pegeen Mike (comes to fire), and I could hear the cows breathing, andsighing in the stillness of the air, and not a step moving any placefrom this gate to thebridge.PEGEEN -- [putting letter in envelope.] -- It's above at the cross-roadshe is, meeting Philly Cullen; and a couple more are going along with himto KateCassidy's wake.SHAWN -- [looking at her blankly.] -- And he's going that length in thedark night?PEGEEN -- [impatiently.] He is surely, and leaving me lonesomeon thescruff of the hill.

Isn't it long the nights are now, Shawn Keogh, to beleaving a poor girl withher own self counting the hours to the dawn ofday?SHAWN -- [with awkward humour.] -- If it is, when we're wedded in ashort while you'll have no call tocomplain, for I've little will to bewalking off to wakes or weddings in the darkness of the night.PEGEEN -- [with rather scornful good humour.] -- You're makingmightycertain, Shaneen, that I'll wed you now.SHAWN. Aren't we after making a good bargain, the way we're only waitingthese days on Father Reilly'sdispensation from the bishops, or theCourt of Rome.PEGEEN -- [looking at him teasingly, washing up at dresser.] -- It's awonder, Shaneen, the Holy Father'd betaking notice of the likes of you;for if I was him I wouldn't bother with this place where you'll meetnone but Red Linahan, has a squint in his eye, and Patcheen islame inhis heel, or the mad Mulrannies were driven from California and theylost in their wits. We're a queer lot these times to go troubling theHoly Father on hissacred seat.SHAWN -- [scandalized.] If we are, we're as good this place as another,maybe, and as good these times as we were for ever.PEGEEN -- [with scorn.]-- As good, is it? Where now will you meet thelike of Daneen Sullivan knocked the eye from a peeler, or Marcus Quin,God rest him, got six months for maimingewes, and he a great warrant totell stories of holy Ireland till he'd have the old women sheddingdown tears about their feet. Where will you find the like of them,I'msaying?SHAWN -- [timidly.] If you don't it's a good job, maybe; for (withpeculiar emphasis on the words) Father Reilly has small conceit to havethat kindwalking around and talking to the girls.PEGEEN -- [impatiently, throwing water from basin out of the door.] --Stop tormenting me with Father Reilly (imitating hisvoice) when I'masking only what way I'll pass these twelve hours of dark, and not takemy death with the fear. [Looking out of door.]SHAWN -- [timidly.] Would Ifetch you the widow Quin, maybe?PEGEEN. Is it the like of that murderer? You'll not, surely.SHAWN -- [going to her, soothingly.] -- Then I'm thinking himselfwillstop along with you when he sees you taking on, for it'll be a longnight-time with great darkness, and I'm after feeling a kind of fellowabove in the furzy ditch,groaning wicked like a maddening dog, the wayit's good cause you have, maybe, to be fearing now.PEGEEN -- [turning on him sharply.] -- What's that? Is it aman youseen?SHAWN -- [retreating.] I couldn't see him at all; but I heard himgroaning out, and breaking his heart. It should have been a young manfrom hiswords speaking.PEGEEN -- [going after him.] -- And you never went near to see was hehurted or what ailed him at all?SHAWN. I did not, Pegeen Mike. It was adark, lonesome place to behearing the like of him.PEGEEN. Well, you're a daring fellow, and if they find his corpsestretched above in the dews of dawn, what'llyou say then to thepeelers, or the Justice of the Peace?SHAWN -- [thunderstruck.] I wasn't thinking of that. For the love ofGod, Pegeen Mike, don't let on I wasspeaking of him. Don't tell yourfather and the men is coming above; for if they heard that story, they'dhave great blabbing this night at the wake.PEGEEN. I'llmaybe tell them, and I'll maybe not.SHAWN. They are coming at the door, Will you whisht, I'm saying?PEGEEN. Whisht yourself.[She goes behind counter.Michael James, fat jovial publican, comesin followed by Philly Cullen, who is thin and mistrusting, and JimmyFarrell, who is fat and amorous, aboutforty-five.]MEN -- [together.] -- God bless you. The blessing of God on this place.PEGEEN. God bless you kindly.MICHAEL -- [to men who go to the counter.] -- Sitdown now, and takeyour rest. (Crosses to Shawn at the fire.) And how is it you are, ShawnKeogh? Are you coming over the sands to Kate Cassidy'swake?SHAWN. I am not, Michael James. I'm going home the short cut to my bed.PEGEEN -- [speaking across the counter.] -- He's right too, and haveyou noshame, Michael James, to be quitting off for the whole night, andleaving myself lonesome in the shop?MICHAEL -- [good-humouredly.] Isn't it the same whether Igo for thewhole night or a part only? and I'm thinking it's a queer daughter youare if you'd have me crossing backward through the Stooks of the DeadWomen,with a drop taken.PEGEEN. If I am a queer daughter, it's a queer father'd be leaving melonesome these twelve hours of dark, and I piling the turf with thedogsbarking, and the calves mooing, and my own teeth rattling with the fear.JIMMY -- [flatteringly.] -- What is there to hurt you, and you a fine,hardy girl wouldknock the head of any two men in the place?PEGEEN -- [working herself up.] -- Isn't there the harvest boys withtheir tongues red for drink, and the ten tinkers iscamped in the eastglen, and the thousand militia -- bad cess to them! -- walking idlethrough the land. There's lots surely to hurt me, and I won't stop alonein it,let himself do what he will.MICHAEL. If you're that afeard, let Shawn Keogh stop along with you.It's the will of God, I'm thinking, himself should be seeing to you"}

HTML versionby Al Haines.PersuasionbyJaneAusten(1818)Chapter 1Sir Walter Elliot, of Kellynch Hall, in Somersetshire, was a man who,for his own amusement, never took up any book but the Baronetage;therehe found occupation for an idle hour, and consolation in a distressedone; there his faculties were roused into admiration and respect, bycontemplating thelimited remnant of the earliest patents; there anyunwelcome sensations, arising from domestic affairs changed naturallyinto pity and contempt as he turned overthe almost endless creationsof the last century; and there, if every other leaf were powerless, hecould read his own history with an interest which neverfailed.  Thiswas the page at which the favourite volume always opened:           \"ELLIOT OF KELLYNCH HALL.\"Walter Elliot, born March 1, 1760, married, July 15,1784, Elizabeth,daughter of James Stevenson, Esq. of South Park, in the county ofGloucester, by which lady (who died 1800) he has issue Elizabeth, bornJune 1,1785; Anne, born August 9, 1787; a still-born son, November 5,1789; Mary, born November 20, 1791.\"Precisely such had the paragraph originally stood from theprinter'shands; but Sir Walter had improved it by adding, for the information ofhimself and his family, these words, after the date of Mary's birth--\"Married,December 16, 1810, Charles, son and heir of Charles Musgrove,Esq. of Uppercross, in the county of Somerset,\" and by inserting mostaccurately the day of themonth on which he had lost his wife.Then followed the history and rise of the ancient and respectablefamily, in the usual terms; how it had been first settled inCheshire;how mentioned in Dugdale, serving the office of high sheriff,representing a borough in three successive parliaments, exertions ofloyalty, and dignity ofbaronet, in the first year of Charles II, withall the Marys and Elizabeths they had married; forming altogether twohandsome duodecimo pages, and concludingwith the arms andmotto:--\"Principal seat, Kellynch Hall, in the county of Somerset,\" andSir Walter's handwriting again in this finale:--\"Heir presumptive, WilliamWalter Elliot, Esq., great grandson of thesecond Sir Walter.\"Vanity was the beginning and the end of Sir Walter Elliot's character;vanity of person and ofsituation.  He had been remarkably handsome inhis youth; and, at fifty-four, was still a very fine man.  Few womencould think more of their personal appearancethan he did, nor couldthe valet of any new made lord be more delighted with the place he heldin society.  He considered the blessing of beauty as inferior onlytothe blessing of a baronetcy; and the Sir Walter Elliot, who unitedthese gifts, was the constant object of his warmest respect anddevotion.His good looks and hisrank had one fair claim on his attachment; sinceto them he must have owed a wife of very superior character to anything deserved by his own.  Lady Elliot hadbeen an excellent woman,sensible and amiable; whose judgement and conduct, if they might bepardoned the youthful infatuation which made her Lady Elliot, hadneverrequired indulgence afterwards.--She had humoured, or softened, orconcealed his failings, and promoted his real respectability forseventeen years; andthough not the very happiest being in the worldherself, had found enough in her duties, her friends, and her children,to attach her to life, and make it no matterof indifference to herwhen she was called on to quit them.--Three girls, the two eldestsixteen and fourteen, was an awful legacy for a mother to bequeath,anawful charge rather, to confide to the authority and guidance of aconceited, silly father.  She had, however, one very intimate friend, asensible, deservingwoman, who had been brought, by strong attachmentto herself, to settle close by her, in the village of Kellynch; and onher kindness and advice, Lady Elliotmainly relied for the best helpand maintenance of the good principles and instruction which she hadbeen anxiously giving her daughters.This friend, and SirWalter, did not marry, whatever might have beenanticipated on that head by their acquaintance.  Thirteen years hadpassed away since Lady Elliot's death, andthey were still nearneighbours and intimate friends, and one remained a widower, the othera widow.That Lady Russell, of steady age and character, andextremely wellprovided for, should have no thought of a second marriage, needs noapology to the public, which is rather apt to be unreasonablydiscontentedwhen a woman does marry again, than when she does not; butSir Walter's continuing in singleness requires explanation.  Be itknown then, that Sir Walter, like agood father, (having met with oneor two private disappointments in very unreasonable applications),prided himself on remaining single for his dear daughters'sake.  Forone daughter, his eldest, he would really have given up any thing,which he had not been very much tempted to do.  Elizabeth hadsucceeded, at sixteen,to all that was possible, of her mother's rightsand consequence; and being very handsome, and very like himself, herinfluence had always been great, and theyhad gone on together mosthappily.  His two other children were of very inferior value.  Mary hadacquired a little artificial importance, by becoming MrsCharlesMusgrove; but Anne, with an elegance of mind and sweetness ofcharacter, which must have placed her high with any people of realunderstanding, wasnobody with either father or sister; her word had noweight, her convenience was always to give way--she was only Anne.To Lady Russell, indeed, she was a mostdear and highly valuedgod-daughter, favourite, and friend.  Lady Russell loved them all; butit was only in Anne that she could fancy the mother to revive again.Afew years before, Anne Elliot had been a very pretty girl, but herbloom had vanished early; and as even in its height, her father hadfound little to admire in her,(so totally different were her delicatefeatures and mild dark eyes from his own), there could be nothing inthem, now that she was faded and thin, to excite hisesteem. He hadnever indulged much hope, he had now none, of ever reading her name inany other page of his favourite work.  All equality of alliance mustrestwith Elizabeth, for Mary had merely connected herself with an oldcountry family of respectability and large fortune, and had thereforegiven all the honour andreceived none: Elizabeth would, one day orother, marry suitably.It sometimes happens that a woman is handsomer at twenty-nine than shewas ten years before;and, generally speaking, if there has beenneither ill health nor anxiety, it is a time of life at which scarcelyany charm is lost.  It was so with Elizabeth, still thesame handsomeMiss Elliot that she had begun to be thirteen years ago, and Sir Waltermight be excused, therefore, in forgetting her age, or, at least, bedeemedonly half a fool, for thinking himself and Elizabeth as bloomingas ever, amidst the wreck of the good looks of everybody else; for hecould plainly see how old allthe rest of his family and acquaintancewere growing.  Anne haggard, Mary coarse, every face in theneighbourhood worsting, and the rapid increase of the crow'sfoot aboutLady Russell's temples had long been a distress to him.Elizabeth did not quite equal her father in personal contentment.Thirteen years had seen hermistress of Kellynch Hall, presiding anddirecting with a self-possession and decision which could never havegiven the idea of her being younger than she was.  Forthirteen yearshad she been doing the honours, and laying down the domestic law athome, and leading the way to the chaise and four, and walkingimmediatelyafter Lady Russell out of all the drawing-rooms anddining-rooms in the country.  Thirteen winters' revolving frosts hadseen her opening every ball of credit whicha scanty neighbourhoodafforded, and thirteen springs shewn their blossoms, as she travelledup to London with her father, for a few weeks' annual enjoyment ofthegreat world.  She had the remembrance of all this, she had theconsciousness of being nine-and-twenty to give her some regrets andsome apprehensions; shewas fully satisfied of being still quite ashandsome as ever, but she felt her approach to the years of danger, andwould have rejoiced to be certain of beingproperly solicited bybaronet-blood within the next twelvemonth or two.  Then might she againtake up the book of books with as much enjoyment as in her earlyyouth,but now she liked it not.  Always to be presented with the date of herown birth and see no marriage follow but that of a youngest sister,made the book anevil; and more than once, when her father had left itopen on the table near her, had she closed it, with averted eyes, andpushed it away.She had had adisappointment, moreover, which that book, and especiallythe history of her own family, must ever present the remembrance of.The heir presumptive, the veryWilliam Walter Elliot, Esq., whoserights had been so generously supported by her father, had disappointedher.She had, while a very young girl, as soon as shehad known him to be,in the event of her having no brother, the future baronet, meant tomarry him, and her father had always meant that she should.  He hadnotbeen known to them as a boy; but soon after Lady Elliot's death, SirWalter had sought the acquaintance, and though his overtures had notbeen met with anywarmth, he had persevered in seeking it, makingallowance for the modest drawing-back of youth; and, in one of theirspring excursions to London, when Elizabethwas in her first bloom, MrElliot had been forced into the introduction.He was at that time a very young man, just engaged in the study of thelaw; and Elizabethfound him extremely agreeable, and every plan in hisfavour was confirmed.  He was invited to Kellynch Hall; he was talkedof and expected all the rest of theyear; but he never came.  Thefollowing spring he was seen again in town, found equally agreeable,again encouraged, invited, and expected, and again he did notcome; andthe next tidings were that he was married.  Instead of pushing hisfortune in the line marked out for the heir of the house of Elliot, hehad purchasedindependence by uniting himself to a rich woman ofinferior birth.Sir Walter had resented it.  As the head of the house, he felt that heought to have beenconsulted, especially after taking the young man sopublicly by the hand; \"For they must have been seen together,\" heobserved, \"once at Tattersall's, and twice inthe lobby of the House ofCommons.\"  His disapprobation was expressed, but apparently very littleregarded.  Mr Elliot had attempted no apology, and shewnhimself asunsolicitous of being longer noticed by the family, as Sir Walterconsidered him unworthy of it:  all acquaintance between them hadceased.This veryawkward history of Mr Elliot was still, after an interval ofseveral years, felt with anger by Elizabeth, who had liked the man forhimself, and still more for being her"}

FRANK BAUMAUTHOR OF THE EMERALD CITY OF OZ, DOROTHY AND THEWIZARD IN OZ, OZMAOF OZ, THE ROAD TO OZ,THE LAND OF OZ, ETC.ILLUSTRATED BYJOHN R. NEILLTHE oceans are big and broad. I believe two-thirds of theearth's surface iscovered with water. What people inhabitthis water has always been a subject of curiosity to theinhabitants of the land. Strange creatures come from the seasattimes, and perhaps in the ocean depths are many, more strangethan mortal eye has ever gazed upon.This story is fanciful. In it the sea people talk and actmuchas we do, and the mermaids especially are not unlike thefairies with whom we have learned to be familiar. Yet theyare real sea people, for all that, and with theexception of Zogthe Magician they are all supposed to exist in the ocean's depths.I am told that some very learned people deny that mermaidsor sea-serpentshave ever inhabited the oceans, but it would bevery difficult for them to prove such an assertion unless they hadlived under the water as Trot and Cap'n Bill did inthis story.I hope my readers who have so long followed Dorothy'sadventures in the Land of Oz will be interested in Trot's equallystrange experiences. The oceanhas always appealed to me asa veritable wonderland, and this story has been suggested to memany times by my young correspondents in their letters. Indeed,agood many children have implored me to \"write somethingabout the mermaids,\" and I have willingly granted the request.Hollywood, 1911.L.

Below them rolled the blue wavesof the greatPacific. A little way behind them was the house, a neatframe cottage painted white and surrounded by huge eucalyptus andpepper trees. Still farther behindthat--a quarter of a mile distantbut built upon a bend of the coast--was the village, overlooking apretty bay.Cap'n Bill and Trot came often to this tree to sit andwatch theocean below them. The sailor man had one \"meat leg\" and one \"hickoryleg,\" and he often said the wooden one was the best of the two. OnceCap'n Billhad commanded and owned the \"Anemone,\" a trading schoonerthat plied along the coast; and in those days Charlie Griffiths, whowas Trot's father, had been theCaptain's mate. But ever since Cap'nBill's accident, when he lost his leg, Charlie Griffiths had beenthe captain of the little schooner while his old masterlivedpeacefully ashore with the Griffiths family.This was about the time Trot was born, and the old sailor becamevery fond of the baby girl. Her real name wasMayre, but when shegrew big enough to walk, she took so many busy little steps everyday that both her mother and Cap'n Bill nicknamed her \"Trot,\" and soshewas thereafter mostly called.It was the old sailor who taught the child to love the sea, to loveit almost as much as he and her father did, and these two,whorepresented the \"beginning and the end of life,\" became firm friendsand constant companions.\"Why hasn't anybody seen a mermaid and lived?\" asked Trotagain.\"'Cause mermaids is fairies, an' ain't meant to be seen by us mortalfolk,\" replied Cap'n Bill.\"But if anyone happens to see 'em, what then, Cap'n?\"\"Then,\" heanswered, slowly wagging his head, \"the mermaids give 'ema smile an' a wink, an' they dive into the water an' gets drownded.\"\"S'pose they knew how to swim,Cap'n Bill?\"\"That don't make any diff'rence, Trot. The mermaids live deep down,an' the poor mortals never come up again.\"The little girl was thoughtful for amoment. \"But why do folks divein the water when the mermaids smile an' wink?\" she asked.\"Mermaids,\" he said gravely, \"is the most beautiful creatures intheworld--or the water, either. You know what they're like, Trot,they's got a lovely lady's form down to the waist, an' then theother half of 'em's a fish, with greenan' purple an' pink scalesall down it.\"\"Have they got arms, Cap'n Bill?\"\"'Course, Trot; arms like any other lady. An' pretty faces thatsmile an' look mighty sweetan' fetchin'. Their hair is long an'soft an' silky, an' floats all around 'em in the water. When theycomes up atop the waves, they wring the water out'n their hairandsing songs that go right to your heart. If anybody is unlucky enoughto be 'round jes' then, the beauty o' them mermaids an' their sweetsongs charm 'em likemagic; so's they plunge into the waves to getto the mermaids. But the mermaids haven't any hearts, Trot, nomore'n a fish has; so they laughs when the poorpeople drown an'don't care a fig. That's why I says, an' I says it true, that nobodynever sawr a mermaid an' lived to tell the tale.\"\"Nobody?\" asked Trot.\"Nobody atall.\"\"Then how do you know, Cap'n Bill?\" asked the little girl, lookingup into his face with big, round eyes.Cap'n Bill coughed. Then he tried to sneeze, to gaintime. Then hetook out his red cotton handkerchief and wiped his bald head withit, rubbing hard so as to make him think clearer. \"Look, Trot; ain'tthat a brig outthere?\" he inquired, pointing to a sail far out inthe sea.\"How does anybody know about mermaids if those who have seen themnever lived to tell about them?\"she asked again.\"Know what about 'em, Trot?\"\"About their green and pink scales and pretty songs and wet hair.\"\"They don't know, I guess. But mermaids jes'natcherly has to belike that, or they wouldn't be mermaids.\"She thought this over. \"Somebody MUST have lived, Cap'n Bill,\" shedeclared positively. \"Other fairieshave been seen by mortals; whynot mermaids?\"\"P'raps they have, Trot, p'raps they have,\" he answered musingly.\"I'm tellin' you as it was told to me, but I neverstopped toinquire into the matter so close before. Seems like folks wouldn'tknow so much about mermaids if they hadn't seen 'em; an' yetaccordin' to all accountsthe victim is bound to get drownded.\"\"P'raps,\" suggested Trot softly, \"someone found a fotygraph of oneof 'em.\"\"That might o' been, Trot, that might o' been,\"answered Cap'n Bill.A nice man was Cap'n Bill, and Trot knew he always liked to explaineverything so she could fully understand it. The aged sailor was nota verytall man, and some people might have called him chubby, oreven fat. He wore a blue sailor shirt with white anchors worked onthe corners of the broad, squarecollar, and his blue trousers werevery wide at the bottom. He always wore one trouser leg over hiswooden limb and sometimes it would flutter in the wind like aflagbecause it was so wide and the wooden leg so slender. His roughkersey coat was a pea-jacket and came down to his waistline. In thebig pockets of his jackethe kept a wonderful jackknife, and hispipe and tobacco, and many bits of string, and matches and keys andlots of other things. Whenever Cap'n Bill thrust achubby hand intoone of his pockets, Trot watched him with breathless interest, forshe never knew what he was going to pull out.The old sailor's face was brownas a berry. He had a fringe of hairaround the back of his head and a fringe of whisker around the edgeof his face, running from ear to ear and underneath hischin. Hiseyes were light blue and kind in expression. His nose was big andbroad, and his few teeth were not strong enough to crack nuts with.Trot liked Cap'n Billand had a great deal of confidence in hiswisdom, and a great admiration for his ability to make tops andwhistles and toys with that marvelous jackknife of his. Inthevillage were many boys and girls of her own age, but she never hadas much fun playing with them as she had wandering by the seaaccompanied by the oldsailor and listening to his fascinatingstories.She knew all about the Flying Dutchman, and Davy Jones' Locker, andCaptain Kidd, and how to harpoon a whale ordodge an iceberg orlasso a seal. Cap'n Bill had been everywhere in the world, almost,on his many voyages. He had been wrecked on desert islands likeRobinsonCrusoe and been attacked by cannibals, and had a host ofother exciting adventures. So he was a delightful comrade for thelittle girl, and whatever Cap'n Bill knewTrot was sure to know intime.\"How do the mermaids live?\" she asked. \"Are they in caves, or justin the water like fishes, or how?\"\"Can't say, Trot,\" he replied.\"I've asked divers about that, butnone of 'em ever run acrost a mermaid's nest yet, as I've heard of.\"\"If they're fairies,\" she said, \"their homes must be verypretty.\"\"Mebbe so, Trot, but damp. They are sure to be damp, you know.\"\"I'd like to see a mermaid, Cap'n Bill,\" said the child earnestly.\"What, an' gitdrownded?\" he exclaimed.\"No, and live to tell the tale. If they're beautiful, and laughing,and sweet, there can't be much harm in them, I'm sure.\"\"Mermaids ismermaids,\" remarked Cap'n Bill in his most solemnvoice. \"It wouldn't do us any good to mix up with 'em, Trot.\"\"May-re! May-re!\" called a voice from thehouse.\"Yes, Mamma!\"\"You an' Cap'n Bill come in to supper.\"CHAPTER 2THE MERMAIDSThe next morning, as soon as Trot had helped wipe the breakfastdishesand put them away in the cupboard, the little girl and Cap'nBill started out toward the bluff. The air was soft and warm and thesun turned the edges of the wavesinto sparkling diamonds. Acrossthe bay the last of the fisherboats was speeding away out to sea,for well the fishermen knew this was an ideal day to catchrockbass,barracuda and yellowtail.The old man and the young girl stood on the bluff and watched allthis with interest. Here was their world. \"It isn't a bit roughthismorning. Let's have a boat ride, Cap'n Bill,\" said the child.\"Suits me to a T,\" declared the sailor. So they found the windingpath that led down the face of thecliff to the narrow beach belowand cautiously began the descent. Trot never minded the steep pathor the loose rocks at all, but Cap'n Bill's wooden leg was notsouseful on a downgrade as on a level, and he had to be careful not toslip and take a tumble.But by and by they reached the sands and walked to a spot"}

MerrittPROLOGUEBeforethe narrative which follows was placed in my hands, I had neverseen Dr. Walter T. Goodwin, its author.When the manuscript revealing his adventures among thepre-historicruins of the Nan-Matal in the Carolines (The Moon Pool) had been givenme by the International Association of Science for editing and revisionto meetthe requirements of a popular presentation, Dr. Goodwin had leftAmerica. He had explained that he was still too shaken, too depressed,to be able to recallexperiences that must inevitably carry with themfreshened memories of those whom he loved so well and from whom, hefelt, he was separated in all probabilityforever.I had understood that he had gone to some remote part of Asia to pursuecertain botanical studies, and it was therefore with the liveliestsurprise andinterest that I received a summons from the President ofthe Association to meet Dr. Goodwin at a designated place and hour.Through my close study of the MoonPool papers I had formed a mentalimage of their writer. I had read, too, those volumes of botanicalresearch which have set him high above all other Americanscientists inthis field, gleaning from their curious mingling of extremelytechnical observations and minutely accurate but extraordinarily poeticdescriptions, hintsto amplify my picture of him. It gratified me tofind I had drawn a pretty good one.The man to whom the President of the Association introduced me wassturdy,well-knit, a little under average height. He had a broad butrather low forehead that reminded me somewhat of the late electricalwizard Steinmetz. Under levelblack brows shone eyes of clear hazel,kindly, shrewd, a little wistful, lightly humorous; the eyes both of adoer and a dreamer.Not more than forty I judged him tobe. A close-trimmed, pointed bearddid not hide the firm chin and the clean-cut mouth. His hair was thickand black and oddly sprinkled with white; small streaksand dots ofgleaming silver that shone with a curiously metallic luster.His right arm was closely bound to his breast. His manner as he greetedme was tinged withshyness. He extended his left hand in greeting, andas I clasped the fingers I was struck by their peculiar, pronounced, yetpleasant warmth; a sensation, indeed,curiously electric.The Association's President forced him gently back into his chair.\"Dr. Goodwin,\" he said, turning to me, \"is not entirely recovered asyet fromcertain consequences of his adventures. He will explain to youlater what these are. In the meantime, Mr. Merritt, will you read this?\"I took the sheets he handedme, and as I read them felt the gaze of Dr.Goodwin full upon me, searching, weighing, estimating. When I raised myeyes from the letter I found in his a newexpression. The shyness wasgone; they were filled with complete friendliness. Evidently I hadpassed muster.\"You will accept, sir?\" It was the president's gravelycourteous tone.\"Accept!\" I exclaimed. \"Why, of course, I accept. It is not only one ofthe greatest honors, but to me one of the greatest delights to act asacollaborator with Dr. Goodwin.\"The president smiled.\"In that case, sir, there is no need for me to remain longer,\" he said.\"Dr. Goodwin has with him hismanuscript as far as he has progressedwith it. I will leave you two alone for your discussion.\"He bowed to us and, picking up his old-fashioned bell-crowned silkhatand his quaint, heavy cane of ebony, withdrew. Dr. Goodwin turned to me.\"I will start,\" he said, after a little pause, \"from when I met RichardDrake on thefield of blue poppies that are like a great prayer-rug atthe gray feet of the nameless mountain.\"The sun sank, the shadows fell, the lights of the city sparkled out,forhours New York roared about me unheeded while I listened to the taleof that utterly weird, stupendous drama of an unknown life, of unknowncreatures,unknown forces, and of unconquerable human heroism playedamong the hidden gorges of unknown Asia.It was dawn when I left him for my own home. Nor wasit for manyhours after that I laid his then incomplete manuscript down and soughtsleep--and found a troubled sleep.A. MERRITTCHAPTER I. VALLEY OF THE BLUEPOPPIESIn this great crucible of life we call the world--in the vaster one wecall the universe--the mysteries lie close packed, uncountable as grainsof sand onocean's shores. They thread gigantic, the star-flung spaces;they creep, atomic, beneath the microscope's peering eye. They walkbeside us, unseen and unheard,calling out to us, asking why we are deafto their crying, blind to their wonder.Sometimes the veils drop from a man's eyes, and he sees--and speaks ofhis vision.Then those who have not seen pass him by with the liftedbrows of disbelief, or they mock him, or if his vision has been greatenough they fall upon and destroyhim.For the greater the mystery, the more bitterly is its verity assailed;upon what seem the lesser a man may give testimony and at least gain forhimself ahearing.There is reason for this. Life is a ferment, and upon and about it,shifting and changing, adding to or taking away, beat over legions offorces, seen andunseen, known and unknown. And man, an atom in theferment, clings desperately to what to him seems stable; nor greets withjoy him who hazards that what hegrips may be but a broken staff, and,so saying, fails to hold forth a sturdier one.Earth is a ship, plowing her way through uncharted oceans of spacewherein arestrange currents, hidden shoals and reefs, and where blowthe unknown winds of Cosmos.If to the voyagers, painfully plotting their course, comes one whocriesthat their charts must be remade, nor can tell WHY they must be--thatman is not welcome--no!Therefore it is that men have grown chary of giving testimonyuponmysteries. Yet knowing each in his own heart the truth of that vision hehas himself beheld, lo, it is that in whose reality he most believes.The spot where Ihad encamped was of a singular beauty; so beautifulthat it caught the throat and set an ache within the breast--until fromit a tranquillity distilled that was likehealing mist.Since early March I had been wandering. It was now mid-July. And for thefirst time since my pilgrimage had begun I drank--not of forgetfulness,forthat could never be--but of anodyne for a sorrow which had held fastupon me since my return from the Carolines a year before.No need to dwell here uponthat--it has been written. Nor shall I recitethe reasons for my restlessness--for these are known to those who haveread that history of mine. Nor is there cause toset forth at length thesteps by which I had arrived at this vale of peace.Sufficient is to tell that in New York one night, reading over what isperhaps the mostsensational of my books--\"The Poppies and Primulas ofSouthern Tibet,\" the result of my travels of 1910-1911, I determined toreturn to that quiet, forbidden land.There, if anywhere, might I findsomething akin to forgetting.There was a certain flower which I long had wished to study in itsmutations from the singular formsappearing on the southern slopes ofthe Elburz--Persia's mountainous chain that extends from Azerbaijanin the west to Khorasan in the east; from thence I wouldfollow itsmodified types in the Hindu-Kush ranges and its migrations along thesouthern scarps of the Trans-Himalayas--the unexplored upheaval, higherthan theHimalayas themselves, more deeply cut with precipice and gorge,which Sven Hedin had touched and named on his journey to Lhasa.Having accomplished this, Iplanned to push across the passes to theManasarowar Lakes, where, legend has it, the strange, luminous purplelotuses grow.An ambitious project, undeniablyfraught with danger; but it iswritten that desperate diseases require desperate remedies, and untilinspiration or message how to rejoin those whom I had lovedso dearlycame to me, nothing less, I felt, could dull my heartache.And, frankly, feeling that no such inspiration or message could come, Idid not much care as tothe end.In Teheran I had picked up a most unusual servant; yes, more than this,a companion and counselor and interpreter as well.He was a Chinese; his nameChiu-Ming. His first thirty years had beenspent at the great Lamasery of Palkhor-Choinde at Gyantse, west ofLhasa. Why he had gone from there, how he hadcome to Teheran, I neverasked. It was most fortunate that he had gone, and that I had found him.He recommended himself to me as the best cook within tenthousand milesof Pekin.For almost three months we had journeyed; Chiu-Ming and I and the twoponies that carried my impedimenta.We had traversed mountainroads which had echoed to the marching feet ofthe hosts of Darius, to the hordes of the Satraps. The highways of theAchaemenids--yes, and which before themhad trembled to the tramplingsof the myriads of the godlike Dravidian conquerors.We had slipped over ancient Iranian trails; over paths which thewarriors ofconquering Alexander had traversed; dust of bones ofMacedons, of Greeks, of Romans, beat about us; ashes of the flamingambitions of the Sassanidaewhimpered beneath our feet--the feet of anAmerican botanist, a Chinaman, two Tibetan ponies. We had crept throughclefts whose walls had sent back thehowlings of the Ephthalites, theWhite Huns who had sapped the strength of these same proud Sassanidsuntil at last both fell before the Turks.Over the highwaysand byways of Persia's glory, Persia's shame andPersia's death we four--two men, two beasts--had passed. For a fortnightwe had met no human soul, seen nosign of human habitation.Game had been plentiful--green things Chiu-Ming might lack for hiscooking, but meat never. About us was a welter of mighty summits.Wewere, I knew, somewhere within the blending of the Hindu-Kush with theTrans-Himalayas.That morning we had come out of a ragged defile into this valleyofenchantment, and here, though it had been so early, I had pitched mytent, determining to go no farther till the morrow.It was a Phocean vale; a gigantic cupfilled with tranquillity. A spiritbrooded over it, serene, majestic, immutable--like the untroubled calmwhich rests, the Burmese believe, over every place which hasguarded theBuddha, sleeping.At its eastern end towered the colossal scarp of the unnamed peakthrough one of whose gorges we had crept. On his head was acap ofsilver set with pale emeralds--the snow fields and glaciers that crownedhim. Far to the west another gray and ochreous giant reared its bulk,closing thevale. North and south, the horizon was a chaotic sky land ofpinnacles, spired and minareted, steepled and turreted and domed, eachdiademed with its green andargent of eternal ice and snow.And all the valley was carpeted with the blue poppies in wide, unbrokenfields, luminous as the morning skies of mid-June; theyrippled mileafter mile over the path we had followed, over the still untrodden pathwhich we must take. They nodded, they leaned toward each other, theyseemed"}

TOTTENHAMWILLIAM BLACKWOOD AND SONSEDINBURGH AND LONDONMDCCCLXXVIITHEPILOT AND HIS WIFE.CHAPTER I.On the stern, pine-clad southern coast of Norway, off thepicturesquely-situated town of Arendal, stand planted far out intothesea the white walls of the Great and Little Torungen Lighthouses, eachon its bare rock-island of corresponding name, the lesser of whichseems, as you sailpast, to have only just room for the lighthouse andthe attendant's residence by the side. It is a wild and lonelysituation,--the spray, in stormy weather, driving insheets against thewalls, and eagles and sea-birds not unfrequently dashing themselves todeath against the thick glass panes at night; while in winterallcommunication with the land is very often cut off, either by drift orpatchy ice, which is impassable either on foot or by boat.These, however, and others of thenow numerous lights along thatdangerous coast, are of comparatively recent erection. Many persons nowliving can remember the time when for long reaches theonly lighting wasthe gleam of the white breakers themselves. And the captain who hadpassed the Oxö light off Christiansand might think himself lucky ifhesighted the distant Jomfruland up by Kragerö.About a score of years before the lighthouse was placed on LittleTorungen there was, however, already a housethere, if it could bedignified by that name, with its back and one side almost up to the eaveof the roof stuck into a heap of stones, so that it had the appearanceofbending forward to let the storm sweep over it. The low entrance-dooropened to the land, and two small windows looked out upon the sea, andupon the boat,which was usually drawn up in a cleft above the sea-weedoutside.When you entered, or, more properly speaking, descended into it, therewas more room thanmight have been expected; and it contained sundryarticles of furniture, such as a handsome press and sideboard, which noone would have dreamt of findingunder such a roof. In one corner therestood an old spinning-wheel covered with dust, and with a smoke-blackenedtuft of wool still hanging from its reel; fromwhich, and from othersmall indications, it might be surmised that there had once been a womanin the house, and that tuft of wool had probably been her lastspin.There sat now on the bench by the hearth a lonely old man, of aflint-hard and somewhat gloomy countenance, with a mass of white hairfalling over his earsand neck, who was generally occupied with somecobbling work, and who from time to time, as he drew out the thread,would make some remark aloud, as if hethought he still had the partnerof his life for audience. The look askance over his brass spectacleswith which he greeted any casual stranger who might come intothe househad very little welcome in it, and an expression about his sunken mouthand sharp chin said plainly enough that the other might state hisbusiness atonce and be gone. He sought no company; and the only time hehad ever been seen at church was when he came rowing over to Tromö withhis wife's body inher coffin. When the pastor sprinkled earth upon it,it was observed that the tears streamed down his cheeks, and it was longafter dark before he quitted thechurchyard to return. He had become aproverb for obstinacy for miles beyond his own residence; and people whodealt with him for fish in the harbour, if theyonce began to bargain,were as likely as not to see him without a word just quietly row away.All that was known further about \"Old Jacob,\" as he was called, wasthathe had once been a pilot, and that he had had a son who had taken todrinking, through whose fault it had been eventually that the father hadlost hiscertificate; and it was thought that on the occasion inquestion the father had taken the son's blame upon himself. Since thenhe had shunned society, and hadretired with his wife to his presenthabitation, whither, after their son was drowned, they had brought theirlittle orphan granddaughter, who now was his solecompanion. His onlyostensible means of living were by shoemaking, and by fishing, theproduce of which he generally disposed of to passing ships, and, duringtheearlier period of his sojourn there, by shooting occasionally. Butit was understood that he received a small regular contribution fromseveral of the pilots,certificated or otherwise, of the district, forkeeping a fire alight on his hearth during the dark autumn nights, andso giving them, by the light from his twowindows, something to steer bywhen they arrived off the coast after nightfall. Whether the light wasshown for their benefit particularly, or whether it was notratherintended for the guidance of smuggling vessels standing in under coverof the night to land their cargoes, it was not their business toinquire. Its friendlyassistance was, at all events, not unacknowledgedby these latter, and very acceptable presents, in the shape of kegs ofspirits, bags of coffee, tobacco, meal, andso forth, would, from timeto time, come rolling into the old man's room, so that upon the whole,he was well-to-do enough out there upon his rock.Of late yearshe had fallen into feeble health, and found it not so easyto row the long distance over to land. Even in his best days he had,owing to an old injury to one of hislegs, found some difficulty ingetting down to the boat; and now, therefore, he sat during the greaterpart of the day over the hearth, in his woolen jacket andleatherbreeches, with his indoor work. Now and then, when his granddaughter--achild with a thick crop of hair falling about her ears, and a rough dogconstantlyat her heels--would burst into the house with all thefreshness of the outside air blowing round her, as it were, and deliverherself of her intelligence, he might bedrawn, perhaps, to the windowto look out over the sea, and afterwards, like a growling bear disturbedfrom its lair, even follow her with some difficulty out of thedoor withthe spyglass. There he would station himself, so as to use her shoulderas a rest for his shaking hand, and with his never-ceasing directionsand growlinggoing on behind her neck, she would do her best to fix theglass on the desired object. His crossness would then disappear, littleby little, in their joint speculationas to what ship it could be, or inwhatever remarks it might suggest; and after giving his decision, theold man would generally hobble in again.He was really veryproud of his granddaughter's cleverness. She coulddistinguish with her naked eye as clearly as he could through the glass.She never made a mistake about thecraft, large or small, that belongedto that part of the coast, and could, besides, say to a nicety, whatsort of master each had. Her superiority of sight sheasserted, too,with a tyranny to which he made no resistance, although it might havetried a temper many degrees more patient than his was.One day, however,she was at a loss. They made out a crescent on theflag, and this caused even the old man a moment's astonishment. But hedeclared then, for her information,shortly and decisively, that it wasa \"barbarian.\"This satisfied her for a moment. But then she asked--\"What is a barbarian, grandfather?\"\"It is a Turk.\"\"Yes, but aTurk?\"\"Oh! it's--it's--a Mohammedan--\"\"A what!--a Moham--\"\"A Mohammedan--a robber on board ship.\"\"On board ship!\"He was not going to give up hisascendancy in the matter, hard as shepushed him; so he bethought him of a pack of old tales there-anent, andwent on to explain drily--\"They go to the Baltic--toRussia--to salt human flesh.\"\"Human flesh!\"\"Yes, and sometimes, too, they seize vessels in the open sea and dotheir salting there.\"She fixed a pair of large,terrified eyes on him, which made the old mancontinue--\"And it is especially for little girls they look. That meat is thefinest, and goes by tons down to the GrandTurk.\"Having played this last trump, he was going in again, but was stopped byher eager question--\"Do they use a glass there on board?\" And when he said theydid, sheslipped quickly by him through the door, and kept cautiously within aslong as the vessel was to be seen through the window-pane on thehorizon.Themoods of the two were for once reversed. The old man looked very slyover his work, whilst she was quiet and cowed. Once only she broke outangrily--\"But whydoesn't the king get rid of them? If I was captain of aman-of-war, I'd--\"\"Yes, Elizabeth, if you were captain of a man-of-war!--what then?\"The child's conceptionsapparently reached no further than such mattersas these as yet. She had seen few human beings as she grew up, and inrecent years, after her grandmother'sdeath, she and her grandfather hadbeen the only regular inhabitants of the island. Every now and thenthere might perhaps come a boat on one errand oranother, and a coupleof times she had paid a visit to her maternal aunt on land, at Arendal.Her grandfather had taught her to read and write, and with whatshefound in the Bible and psalm-book, and in 'Exploits of Danish andNorwegian Naval Heroes,' a book in their possession, she had in a mannerlived pretty muchupon the anecdotes which in leisure moments she couldextract from that grandfather, so chary of his speech, about his sailorlife in his youth.They had besides, inthe little inner room, a small print, without aframe, of the action near the Heather Islands, in which he had takenpart. It represented the frigate Naiad, with thebrigs Samso, Kiel, andLolland, in furious conflict with the English ship of the line Dictator,which lay across the narrow harbour with the brig Calypso, andwaspounding the Naiad to pieces. The names of the ships were printedunderneath.On the print there was little to be seen but mast-heads andcannon-mouths,and a confusion of smoke, but in this had the child livedwhole years of her life; and many a time in fancy had she stood thereand fought the Englishman.Men-of-war and their officers had become thehighest conception of her fancy, and the dearest wish of her heart wasthat a man-of-war might some day pass sonear to Torungen that she wouldbe able to see distinctly everything on board.CHAPTER II.After old Jacob had fallen into ill health, lighterman Kristiansen usedtocome out oftener to Torungen with provisions and other necessaries;and his visits now became periodical.He was accompanied one autumn by his son Salvé, ablack-haired,dark-eyed, handsome lad, with a sharp, clever face, who had worked inthe fishing-boats along the coast from his childhood almost, and had, infact,been brought up amongst its sunken rocks and reefs and breakers.He was something small in stature, perhaps; but what he wanted inrobustness he made up inreadiness and activity--qualities which stoodhim in good stead in the many quarrels into which his too ready tonguewas wont to bring him. He was eighteen years"}

He kept a summercottagein Mill Valley, under the shadow of Mount Tamalpais, and never occupiedit except when he loafed through the winter months and read NietzscheandSchopenhauer to rest his brain.  When summer came on, he elected to sweatout a hot and dusty existence in the city and to toil incessantly.  Hadit not beenmy custom to run up to see him every Saturday afternoon andto stop over till Monday morning, this particular January Monday morningwould not have found meafloat on San Francisco Bay.Not but that I was afloat in a safe craft, for the _Martinez_ was a newferry-steamer, making her fourth or fifth trip on the runbetweenSausalito and San Francisco.  The danger lay in the heavy fog whichblanketed the bay, and of which, as a landsman, I had littleapprehension.  In fact, Iremember the placid exaltation with which Itook up my position on the forward upper deck, directly beneath thepilot-house, and allowed the mystery of the fog tolay hold of myimagination.  A fresh breeze was blowing, and for a time I was alone inthe moist obscurityâ\u0000\u0000yet not alone, for I was dimly conscious ofthepresence of the pilot, and of what I took to be the captain, in the glasshouse above my head.I remember thinking how comfortable it was, this division oflabour whichmade it unnecessary for me to study fogs, winds, tides, and navigation,in order to visit my friend who lived across an arm of the sea.  It wasgoodthat men should be specialists, I mused.  The peculiar knowledge ofthe pilot and captain sufficed for many thousands of people who knew nomore of the sea andnavigation than I knew.  On the other hand, insteadof having to devote my energy to the learning of a multitude of things, Iconcentrated it upon a few particularthings, such as, for instance, theanalysis of Poeâ\u0000\u0000s place in American literatureâ\u0000\u0000an essay of mine, by theway, in the current _Atlantic_.  Coming aboard, asI passed through thecabin, I had noticed with greedy eyes a stout gentleman reading the_Atlantic_, which was open at my very essay.  And there it was again,thedivision of labour, the special knowledge of the pilot and captain whichpermitted the stout gentleman to read my special knowledge on Poe whilethey carriedhim safely from Sausalito to San Francisco.A red-faced man, slamming the cabin door behind him and stumping out onthe deck, interrupted my reflections,though I made a mental note of thetopic for use in a projected essay which I had thought of calling â\u0000\u0000TheNecessity for Freedom: A Plea for theArtist.â\u0000\u0000  The red-faced man shot aglance up at the pilot-house, gazed around at the fog, stumped across thedeck and back (he evidently had artificial legs),and stood still by myside, legs wide apart, and with an expression of keen enjoyment on hisface.  I was not wrong when I decided that his days had been spenton thesea.â\u0000\u0000Itâ\u0000\u0000s nasty weather like this here that turns heads grey before theirtime,â\u0000\u0000 he said, with a nod toward the pilot-house.â\u0000\u0000I had notthought there was any particular strain,â\u0000\u0000 I answered.  â\u0000\u0000Itseems as simple as A, B, C.  They know the direction by compass, thedistance, and the speed.  Ishould not call it anything more thanmathematical certainty.â\u0000\u0000â\u0000\u0000Strain!â\u0000\u0000 he snorted.  â\u0000\u0000Simple as A, B, C!  Mathematical certainty!â\u0000\u0000He seemedto brace himself up and lean backward against the air as hestared at me.  â\u0000\u0000How about this here tide thatâ\u0000\u0000s rushinâ\u0000\u0000 out through theGolden Gate?â\u0000\u0000he demanded, or bellowed, rather.  â\u0000\u0000How fast is she ebbinâ\u0000\u0000?Whatâ\u0000\u0000s the drift, eh?  Listen to that, will you?  A bell-buoy, and weâ\u0000\u0000rea-top ofit!  See â\u0000\u0000em alterinâ\u0000\u0000 the course!â\u0000\u0000From out of the fog came the mournful tolling of a bell, and I could seethe pilot turning the wheel with greatrapidity.  The bell, which hadseemed straight ahead, was now sounding from the side.  Our own whistlewas blowing hoarsely, and from time to time the sound ofother whistlescame to us from out of the fog.â\u0000\u0000Thatâ\u0000\u0000s a ferry-boat of some sort,â\u0000\u0000 the new-comer said, indicating awhistle off to the right.  â\u0000\u0000Andthere!  Dâ\u0000\u0000ye hear that?  Blown by mouth.Some scow schooner, most likely.  Better watch out, Mr. Schooner-man.Ah, I thought so.  Now hellâ\u0000\u0000s apoppinâ\u0000\u0000 for somebody!â\u0000\u0000The unseen ferry-boat was blowing blast after blast, and the mouth-blownhorn was tooting in terror-stricken fashion.â\u0000\u0000Andnow theyâ\u0000\u0000re payinâ\u0000\u0000 their respects to each other and tryinâ\u0000\u0000 to getclear,â\u0000\u0000 the red-faced man went on, as the hurried whistling ceased.His face wasshining, his eyes flashing with excitement as he translatedinto articulate language the speech of the horns and sirens.  â\u0000\u0000Thatâ\u0000\u0000s asteam-siren a-goinâ\u0000\u0000it over there to the left.  And you hear that fellowwith a frog in his throatâ\u0000\u0000a steam schooner as near as I can judge,crawlinâ\u0000\u0000 in from the Heads against thetide.â\u0000\u0000A shrill little whistle, piping as if gone mad, came from directly aheadand from very near at hand.  Gongs sounded on the_Martinez_.  Ourpaddle-wheels stopped, their pulsing beat died away, and then theystarted again.  The shrill little whistle, like the chirping of a cricketamid thecries of great beasts, shot through the fog from more to theside and swiftly grew faint and fainter.  I looked to my companion forenlightenment.â\u0000\u0000One of themdare-devil launches,â\u0000\u0000 he said.  â\u0000\u0000I almost wish weâ\u0000\u0000d sunkhim, the little rip!  Theyâ\u0000\u0000re the cause of more trouble.  And what goodare they?  Anyjackass gets aboard one and runs it from hell tobreakfast, blowinâ\u0000\u0000 his whistle to beat the band and tellinâ\u0000\u0000 the rest ofthe world to look out for him, becauseheâ\u0000\u0000s cominâ\u0000\u0000 and canâ\u0000\u0000t look out forhimself!  Because heâ\u0000\u0000s cominâ\u0000\u0000!  And youâ\u0000\u0000ve got to look out, too!  Rightof way!  Commondecency!  They donâ\u0000\u0000t know the meaninâ\u0000\u0000 of it!â\u0000\u0000I felt quite amused at his unwarranted choler, and while he stumpedindignantly up and down I fell todwelling upon the romance of the fog.And romantic it certainly wasâ\u0000\u0000the fog, like the grey shadow of infinitemystery, brooding over the whirling speck ofearth; and men, mere motesof light and sparkle, cursed with an insane relish for work, riding theirsteeds of wood and steel through the heart of the mystery,groping theirway blindly through the Unseen, and clamouring and clanging in confidentspeech the while their hearts are heavy with incertitude and fear.The voiceof my companion brought me back to myself with a laugh.  I toohad been groping and floundering, the while I thought I rode clear-eyedthrough themystery.â\u0000\u0000Hello! somebody cominâ\u0000\u0000 our way,â\u0000\u0000 he was saying.  â\u0000\u0000And dâ\u0000\u0000ye hear that?Heâ\u0000\u0000s cominâ\u0000\u0000 fast.  Walking right along.  Guess hedonâ\u0000\u0000t hear us yet.Windâ\u0000\u0000s in wrong direction.â\u0000\u0000The fresh breeze was blowing right down upon us, and I could hear thewhistle plainly, off to one sideand a little ahead.â\u0000\u0000Ferry-boat?â\u0000\u0000 I asked.He nodded, then added, â\u0000\u0000Or he wouldnâ\u0000\u0000t be keepinâ\u0000\u0000 up such a clip.â\u0000\u0000  Hegave a shortchuckle.  â\u0000\u0000Theyâ\u0000\u0000re gettinâ\u0000\u0000 anxious up there.â\u0000\u0000I glanced up.  The captain had thrust his head and shoulders out of thepilot-house, and was staringintently into the fog as though by sheerforce of will he could penetrate it.  His face was anxious, as was theface of my companion, who had stumped over to therail and was gazingwith a like intentness in the direction of the invisible danger.Then everything happened, and with inconceivable rapidity.  The fogseemed tobreak away as though split by a wedge, and the bow of asteamboat emerged, trailing fog-wreaths on either side like seaweed onthe snout of Leviathan.  I couldsee the pilot-house and a white-beardedman leaning partly out of it, on his elbows.  He was clad in a blueuniform, and I remember noting how trim and quiet hewas.  His quietness,under the circumstances, was terrible.  He accepted Destiny, marched handin hand with it, and coolly measured the stroke.  As he leanedthere, heran a calm and speculative eye over us, as though to determine theprecise point of the collision, and took no notice whatever when ourpilot, white withrage, shouted, â\u0000\u0000Now youâ\u0000\u0000ve done it!â\u0000\u0000On looking back, I realize that the remark was too obvious to makerejoinder necessary.â\u0000\u0000Grab hold ofsomething and hang on,â\u0000\u0000 the red-faced man said to me.  Allhis bluster had gone, and he seemed to have caught the contagion ofpreternaturalcalm.  â\u0000\u0000And listen to the women scream,â\u0000\u0000 he saidgrimlyâ\u0000\u0000almost bitterly, I thought, as though he had been through theexperience before.The vesselscame together before I could follow his advice.  We must havebeen struck squarely amidships, for I saw nothing, the strange steamboathaving passed beyond myline of vision.  The _Martinez_ heeled over,sharply, and there was a crashing and rending of timber.  I was thrownflat on the wet deck, and before I couldscramble to my feet I heard thescream of the women.  This it was, I am certain,â\u0000\u0000the most indescribableof blood-curdling sounds,â\u0000\u0000that threw me into apanic.  I remembered thelife-preservers stored in the cabin, but was met at the door and sweptbackward by a wild rush of men and women.  What happened inthe next fewminutes I do not recollect, though I have a clear remembrance of pullingdown life-preservers from the overhead racks, while the red-facedmanfastened them about the bodies of an hysterical group of women.  Thismemory is as distinct and sharp as that of any picture I have seen.

UNKNOWN ROOM - NIGHT          Darkness. Silence. After a long beat, we hear movement,          confined and contained.          Wethen hear the sound of a man, PAUL CONROY, groaning,          making confused attempts at words. We hear his movement;          short, abrupt shifting, endingalmost immediately with the          sound of his body banging against wood.          He screams, though it's clear from the sound that his mouth          is coveredby something.          After attempting to sit up, he immediately bangs his head          against something. It's terribly warm and his breathsare          labored.          He attempts to move to his left and right, only to find that          he is confined on those sides, as well. He frantically          shifts about,only to discover, by touch, that he is encased          in something.          Something is very wrong, and he doesn't need to see to know          that.          Finally,we see him, lit by the flame of the Zippo he holds          in his hands, which are bound together in front of him with          rope. A rolled-up, dirty rag is tiedtightly around his          head, stretched across his mouth. Dried blood stains his          hair and forehead.                                   We see that he is lying in an oldfashioned, wooden coffin.          Nothing more than a few rotted-out planks of wood nailed          together. Realizing the same, Paul is struck byan          overwhelming, instant panic.          With great difficulty, and while still holding the lit Zippo,          Paul removes the muzzle from his"}

FRANK BAUMPictures by Ike MorganChicagoThe Reilly & Britton Co.1905Copyright1905byL. Frank BaumEvery Right ReservedThe UniqueAdventures of the WOGGLE-BUGONE day Mr. H. M. Woggle-Bug, T. E., becoming separated from hiscomrades who had accompanied him from the Land of Oz,and finding thattime hung heavy on his hands (he had four of them), decided to walkdown the Main street of the City and try to discover something or otherofinterest.The initials \"H. M.\" before his name meant \"Highly Magnified,\" for thisWoggle-Bug was several thousand times bigger than any other woggle-bugyou eversaw. And the initials \"T. E.\" after his named meant \"ThoroughlyEducated\"--and so he was, in the Land of Oz. But his education, beingapplied to a woggle-bugintellect, was not at all remarkable in thiscountry, where everything is quite different than Oz. Yet theWoggle-Bug did not suspect this, and being, like so manyother thoroughlyeducated persons, proud of his mental attainments, he marched along thestreet with an air of importance that made one wonder whatgreatthoughts were occupying his massive brain.Being about as big, in his magnified state, as a man, the Woggle-Bugtook care to clothe himself like a man; only,instead of choosing sobercolors for his garments, he delighted in the most gorgeous reds andyellows and blues and greens; so that if you looked at him longthebrilliance of his clothing was liable to dazzle your eyes.I suppose the Waggle-Bug did not realize at all what a queer appearancehe made. Being rather nervous,he seldom looked into a mirror; and asthe people he met avoided telling him he was unusual, he had falleninto the habit of considering himself merely an ordinarycitizen of thebig city wherein he resided.So the Woggle-Bug strutted proudly along the street, swinging a cane inone hand, flourishing a pink handkerchief in theother, fumbling hiswatch-fob with another, and feeling his necktie was straight withanother. Having four hands to use would prove rather puzzling to you orme, Iimagine; but the Woggie-Bug was thoroughly accustomed to them.Presently he came to a very fine store with big plate-glass windows,and standing in the centerof the biggest window was a creature sobeautiful and radiant and altogether charming that the first glance ather nearly took his breath away. Her complexion waslovely, for it waswax; but the thing which really caught the Woggle-Bug's fancy was themarvelous dress she wore. Indeed, it was the latest (last year's)Parismodel, although the Woggle-Bug did not know that; and the designer musthave had a real woggly love for bright colors, for the gown was made ofred clothcovered with big checks which were so loud the fashion bookscalled them \"Wagnerian Plaids.\"Never had our friend the Woggle-Bug seen such a beautiful gownbefore,and it afflicted him so strongly that he straightaway fell in love withthe entire outfit--even to the wax-complexioned lady herself! Verypolitely he tipped histo her; but she stared coldly back without inany way acknowledging the courtesy.\"Never mind,\" he thought; \"'faint heart never won fair lady.' And I'mdeterminedto win this kaliedoscope of beauty or perish in theattempt!\" You will notice that our insect had a way of using big wordsto express himself, which leads us tosuspect that the school system inOz is the same they employ in Boston.As, with swelling heart, the Woggle-Bug feasted his eyes upon theenchanting vision, asmall green tag that was attached to a button ofthe waist suddenly attracted his attention. Upon the tag was marked:\"Price $7.93--GREATLY REDUCED.\"\"Ah!\"murmured the Woggle-Bug; \"my darling is in greatly reducedcircumstances, and $7.93 will make her mine! Where, oh where, shall Ifind the seven ninety-threewherewith to liberate this divinity andmake her Mrs. Woggle-Bug?\"\"Move on!\" said a gruff policeman, who came along swinging his club.And the Woggle-Bugobediently moved on, his brain working fast andfurious in the endeavor to think of a way to procure seven dollars andninety-three cents.You see, in the Land ofOz they use no money at all, so that when theWoggle-Bug arrived in America he did not possess a single penny. And noone had presented him with any moneysince.\"Yet there must be several ways to procure money in this country,\" hereflected; \"for otherwise everybody would be as penniless as I am. Buthow, I wonder,do they manage to get it?\"Just then he came along a side street where a number of men were atwork digging a long and deep ditch in which to lay a newsewer.\"Now these men,\" thought the Woggle-Bug, \"must get money for shovelingall that earth, else they wouldn't do it. Here is my chance to win thecharmingvision of beauty in the shop window!\"Seeking out the foreman, he asked for work, and the foreman agreed tohire him.\"How much do you pay these workmen?\"asked the highly magnified one.\"Two dollars a day,\" answered the foreman.\"Then,\" said the Woggle-Bug, \"you must pay me four dollars a day; for Ihave fourarms to their two, and can do double their work.\"\"If that is so, I'll pay you four dollars,\" agreed the man.The Woggle-Bug was delighted.\"In two days,\" he toldhimself, as he threw off his brilliant coat andplaced his hat upon it, and rolled up his sleeves; \"in two days I canearn eight dollars--enough to purchase my greatlyreduced darling andbuy her seven cents worth of caramels besides.\"He seized two spades and began working so rapidly with his four armsthat the foreman said:\"You must have been forewarned.\"\"Why?\" asked the Insect.\"Because there's a saying that to be forewarned is to be four-armed,\"replied the other.\"That isnonsense,\" said the Woggle-Bug, digging with all his might;\"for they call you the foreman, and yet I only see one of you.\"\"Ha, ha!\" laughed the man, and he wasso proud of his new worker thathe went into the corner saloon to tell his friend the barkeeper what atreasure he had found.It was just after noon that theWoggle-Bug hired as a ditch-digger inorder to win his heart's desire; so at noon on the second day he quitwork, and having received eight silver dollars he put onhis coat andrushed away to the store that he might purchase his intended bride.But, alas for the uncertainty of all our hopes! Just as the Woggle-Bugreached thedoor he saw a lady coming out of the store dressed inidentical checks with which he had fallen in love!At first he did not know what to do or say, for the younglady'scomplexion was not wax--far from it. But a glance into the windowshowed him the wax lady now dressed in a plain black tailor-made suit,and at once heknew the wearer of the Wagnerian plaids was his reallove, and not the stiff creature behind the glass.\"Beg pardon!\" he exclaimed, stopping the young lady; \"butyou're mine.Here's the seven ninety-three, and seven cents for candy.\"But she glanced at him in a haughty manner, and walked away with hernose slightlyelevated.He followed. He could not do otherwise with those delightful checksshining before him like beacon-lights to urge him on.The young lady stepped into acar, which whirled away rapidly. For amoment he was nearly paralyzed at his loss; then he started after thecar as fast as he could go, and this was very fastindeed--he being awoggle-bug.Somebody cried: \"Stop, thief!\" and a policeman ran out to arrest him.But the Woggle-Bug used his four hands to push the officeraside, andthe astonished man went rolling into the gutter so recklessly that hisuniform bore marks of the encounter for many days.Still keeping an eye on thecar, the Woggle-Bug rushed on. Hefrightened two dogs, upset a fat gentleman who was crossing the street,leaped over an automobile that shot in front of him,and finally ranplump into the car, which had abruptly stopped to let off a passenger.Breathing hard from his exertions, he jumped upon the rear platform ofthecar, only to see his charmer step off at the front and walkmincingly up the steps of a house. Despite his fatigue, he flew afterher at once, crying out:\"Stop, myvariegated dear--stop! Don't you know you're mine?\"But she slammed the door in his face, and he sat down upon the stepsand wiped his forehead with his pinkhandkerchief and fanned himselfwith his hat and tried to think what he should do next.Presently a very angry man came out of the house. He had a revolverinone hand and a carving-knife in the other.\"What do you mean by insulting my wife?\" he demanded.\"Was that your wife?\" asked the Woggle-Bug, in meekastonishment.\"Of course it is my wife,\" answered the man.\"Oh, I didn't know,\" said the insect, rather humbled. \"But I'll giveyou seven ninety-three for her. That'sall she's worth, you know; for Isaw it marked on the tag.\"The man gave a roar of rage and jumped into the air with the intentionof falling on the Woggle-Bug andhurting him with the knife and pistol.But the Woggle-Bug was suddenly in a hurry, and didn't wait to bejumped on. Indeed, he ran so very fast that the man wascontent to lethim go, especially as the pistol wasn't loaded and the carving-knifewas as dull as such knives usually are.But his wife had conceived a great dislikefor the Wagnerian checkcostume that had won for her the Woggle-Bug's admiration. \"I'll neverwear it again!\" she said to her husband, when he came in and toldherthat the Woggle-Bug was gone.\"Then,\" he replied, \"you'd better give it to Bridget; for she's beenbothering me about her wages lately, and the present willkeep herquite for a month longer.\"So she called Bridget and presented her with the dress, and thedelighted servant decided to wear it that night to MickeySchwartz'sball.Now the poor Woggle-Bug, finding his affection scorned, was feelingvery blue and unhappy that evening, When he walked out, dressed(amongother things) in a purple-striped shirt, with a yellow necktie andpea-green gloves, he looked a great deal more cheerful than he reallywas. He had put onanother hat, for the Woggle-Bug had a superstitionthat to change his hat was to change his luck, and luck seemed to haveoverlooked the fact that he was inexistence.The hat may really have altered his fortunes, as the Insect shortly metIkey Swanson, who gave him a ticket to Mickey Schwartz's ball; forIkey's cleandickey had not come home from the laundry, and so he couldnot go himself.The Woggle-Bug, thinking to distract his mind from his dreams of love,attended thehall, and the first thing he saw as he entered the roomwas Bridget clothed in that same gorgeous gown of Wagnerian plaid thathad so fascinated his bugly"}

Her husband's family had been residents there for generations,andbore, indeed, the name of their birthplace--Bretton of Bretton:whether by coincidence, or because some remote ancestor had been apersonage of sufficientimportance to leave his name to hisneighbourhood, I know not.When I was a girl I went to Bretton about twice a year, and well Iliked the visit. The house and itsinmates specially suited me. Thelarge peaceful rooms, the well-arranged furniture, the clear widewindows, the balcony outside, looking down on a fine antiquestreet,where Sundays and holidays seemed always to abide--so quiet was itsatmosphere, so clean its pavement--these things pleased me well.One child in ahousehold of grown people is usually made very much of,and in a quiet way I was a good deal taken notice of by Mrs. Bretton,who had been left a widow, withone son, before I knew her; herhusband, a physician, having died while she was yet a young andhandsome woman.She was not young, as I remember her, butshe was still handsome, tall,well-made, and though dark for an Englishwoman, yet wearing always theclearness of health in her brunette cheek, and its vivacity ina pairof fine, cheerful black eyes. People esteemed it a grievous pity thatshe had not conferred her complexion on her son, whose eyes wereblue--though, even inboyhood, very piercing--and the colour of hislong hair such as friends did not venture to specify, except as the sunshone on it, when they called it golden. Heinherited the lines of hismother's features, however; also her good teeth, her stature (or thepromise of her stature, for he was not yet full-grown), and, whatwasbetter, her health without flaw, and her spirits of that tone andequality which are better than a fortune to the possessor.In the autumn of the year ---- I wasstaying at Bretton; my godmotherhaving come in person to claim me of the kinsfolk with whom was at thattime fixed my permanent residence. I believe she thenplainly sawevents coming, whose very shadow I scarce guessed; yet of which thefaint suspicion sufficed to impart unsettled sadness, and made me gladto changescene and society.Time always flowed smoothly for me at my godmother's side; not withtumultuous swiftness, but blandly, like the gliding of a full riverthrough aplain. My visits to her resembled the sojourn of Christianand Hopeful beside a certain pleasant stream, with \"green trees on eachbank, and meadows beautifiedwith lilies all the year round.\" The charmof variety there was not, nor the excitement of incident; but I likedpeace so well, and sought stimulus so little, that whenthe latter cameI almost felt it a disturbance, and wished rather it had still heldaloof.One day a letter was received of which the contents evidently causedMrs.Bretton surprise and some concern. I thought at first it was fromhome, and trembled, expecting I know not what disastrous communication:to me, however, noreference was made, and the cloud seemed to pass.The next day, on my return from a long walk, I found, as I entered mybedroom, an unexpected change. In,addition to my own French bed in itsshady recess, appeared in a corner a small crib, draped with white; andin addition to my mahogany chest of drawers, I saw atiny rosewoodchest. I stood still, gazed, and considered.\"Of what are these things the signs and tokens?\" I asked. The answerwas obvious. \"A second guest iscoming: Mrs. Bretton expects othervisitors.\"On descending to dinner, explanations ensued. A little girl, I wastold, would shortly be my companion: the daughterof a friend anddistant relation of the late Dr. Bretton's. This little girl, it wasadded, had recently lost her mother; though, indeed, Mrs. Bretton erelong subjoined,the loss was not so great as might at first appear.Mrs. Home (Home it seems was the name) had been a very pretty, but agiddy, careless woman, who hadneglected her child, and disappointedand disheartened her husband. So far from congenial had the unionproved, that separation at last ensued--separation bymutual consent,not after any legal process. Soon after this event, the lady havingover-exerted herself at a ball, caught cold, took a fever, and diedafter a verybrief illness. Her husband, naturally a man of verysensitive feelings, and shocked inexpressibly by too suddencommunication of the news, could hardly, it seems,now be persuaded butthat some over-severity on his part--some deficiency in patience andindulgence--had contributed to hasten her end. He had brooded overthisidea till his spirits were seriously affected; the medical men insistedon travelling being tried as a remedy, and meanwhile Mrs. Bretton hadoffered to takecharge of his little girl. \"And I hope,\" added mygodmother in conclusion, \"the child will not be like her mamma; assilly and frivolous a little flirt as ever sensibleman was weak enoughto marry. For,\" said she, \"Mr. Home _is_ a sensible man in his way,though not very practical: he is fond of science, and lives half hislife in alaboratory trying experiments--a thing his butterfly wifecould neither comprehend nor endure; and indeed\" confessed mygodmother, \"I should not have liked itmyself.\"In answer to a question of mine, she further informed me that her latehusband used to say, Mr. Home had derived this scientific turn from amaternaluncle, a French savant; for he came, it seems; of mixed Frenchand Scottish origin, and had connections now living in France, of whommore than one wrote _de_before his name, and called himself noble.That same evening at nine o'clock, a servant was despatched to meet thecoach by which our little visitor was expected.Mrs. Bretton and I satalone in the drawing-room waiting her coming; John Graham Bretton beingabsent on a visit to one of his schoolfellows who lived in thecountry.My godmother read the evening paper while she waited; I sewed. It was awet night; the rain lashed the panes, and the wind sounded angryandrestless.\"Poor child!\" said Mrs. Bretton from time to time. \"What weather forher journey! I wish she were safe here.\"A little before ten the door-bell announcedWarren's return. No soonerwas the door opened than I ran down into the hall; there lay a trunkand some band-boxes, beside them stood a person like anurse-girl, andat the foot of the staircase was Warren with a shawled bundle in hisarms.\"Is that the child?\" I asked.\"Yes, miss.\"I would have opened the shawl,and tried to get a peep at the face, butit was hastily turned from me to Warren's shoulder.\"Put me down, please,\" said a small voice when Warren openedthedrawing-room door, \"and take off this shawl,\" continued the speaker,extracting with its minute hand the pin, and with a sort of fastidioushaste doffing theclumsy wrapping. The creature which now appeared madea deft attempt to fold the shawl; but the drapery was much too heavyand large to be sustained orwielded by those hands and arms. \"Give itto Harriet, please,\" was then the direction, \"and she can put it away.\"This said, it turned and fixed its eyes on Mrs.Bretton.\"Come here, little dear,\" said that lady. \"Come and let me see if youare cold and damp: come and let me warm you at the fire.\"The child advancedpromptly. Relieved of her wrapping, she appearedexceedingly tiny; but was a neat, completely-fashioned little figure,light, slight, and straight. Seated on mygodmother's ample lap, shelooked a mere doll; her neck, delicate as wax, her head of silky curls,increased, I thought, the resemblance.Mrs. Bretton talked in littlefond phrases as she chafed the child'shands, arms, and feet; first she was considered with a wistful gaze,but soon a smile answered her. Mrs. Bretton was notgenerally acaressing woman: even with her deeply-cherished son, her manner wasrarely sentimental, often the reverse; but when the small strangersmiled ather, she kissed it, asking, \"What is my little one's name?\"\"Missy.\"\"But besides Missy?\"\"Polly, papa calls her.\"\"Will Polly be content to live with me?\"\"Not _always_;but till papa comes home. Papa is gone away.\" She shookher head expressively.\"He will return to Polly, or send for her.\"\"Will he, ma'am? Do you know he will?\"\"Ithink so.\"\"But Harriet thinks not: at least not for a long while. He is ill.\"Her eyes filled. She drew her hand from Mrs. Bretton's and made amovement to leave herlap; it was at first resisted, but shesaid--\"Please, I wish to go: I can sit on a stool.\"She was allowed to slip down from the knee, and taking a footstool, shecarriedit to a corner where the shade was deep, and there seatedherself. Mrs. Bretton, though a commanding, and in grave matters even aperemptory woman, wasoften passive in trifles: she allowed the childher way. She said to me, \"Take no notice at present.\" But I did takenotice: I watched Polly rest her small elbow onher small knee, herhead on her hand; I observed her draw a square inch or two ofpocket-handkerchief from the doll-pocket of her doll-skirt, and then Iheard herweep. Other children in grief or pain cry aloud, withoutshame or restraint; but this being wept: the tiniest occasional snifftestified to her emotion. Mrs. Bretton didnot hear it: which was quiteas well. Ere long, a voice, issuing from the corner, demanded--\"May thebell be rung for Harriet!\"I rang; the nurse was summoned andcame.\"Harriet, I must be put to bed,\" said her little mistress. \"You mustask where my bed is.\"Harriet signified that she had already made that inquiry.\"Ask if yousleep with me, Harriet.\"\"No, Missy,\" said the nurse: \"you are to share this young lady's room,\"designating me.Missy did not leave her seat, but I saw her eyes"}

And he had got upearly, so early that the only thing that made sense was to walk to work.And that meant walking through Ghost Town. He hadnâ\u0000\u0000tdone that in a longtime, not since childhood. Ghost Town was a wonderful place to play.â\u0000\u0000Tag,â\u0000\u0000 â\u0000\u0000Follow My Fuehrer,â\u0000\u0000 â\u0000\u0000Senators andPresidentâ\u0000\u0000â\u0000\u0000all the ancientgames took on new life when you could dodge and turn among crumblingruins, dart down unmarked lanes, gallop throughsagging shacks where youmight stir out a screeching, unexpected recluse.But it was clear thatâ\u0000\u0000in the fifteen years between childhood games and atroubledmanâ\u0000\u0000s walk to workâ\u0000\u0000Ghost Town had grown.Everybody knew that! Ask the right specialists, and theyâ\u0000\u0000d tell you howmuch and how fast. An acre ayear, a street a month, a block a week, thespecialists would twinkle at you, convinced that the acre, street, blockwas under control, since they could measureit.Ask the right specialists and they would tell you why it was happening.One answer per specialist, with an ironclad guarantee that there wouldbe no overlappingof replies. â\u0000\u0000A purely psychological phenomenon, Mr.Ross. A vibration of the pendulum toward greater municipal compactness,a huddling, a maturerecognition of the facts of interdependence,basically a step forward....â\u0000\u0000â\u0000\u0000A purely biological phenomenon, Mr. Ross. Falling birth rate due tobiochemicaldeficiency of trace elements processed out of our planetarydiet. Fortunately the situation has been recognized in time and my billbefore the Chamber willprovide....â\u0000\u0000â\u0000\u0000A purely technological problem, Mr. Ross. Maintenance of a sprawlingcity is inevitably less efficient than that of a compact unit.Inevitablythere has been a drift back to the central areas and theconvenience of air-conditioned walkways, winterized plazas....â\u0000\u0000Yes. It was a purelypsychological-biological-technological-educational-demographic problem, and it was basically a step forward.Ross wondered how many Ghost Towns laycorpselike on the surface ofHalseyâ\u0000\u0000s Planet. Decay, he thought. Decay.But it had nothing to do with his problem, the problem that had kept himawake all thenight, the problem that blighted the view before him now.The trading bell clanged. The dayâ\u0000\u0000s work began.For Ross it might be his last dayâ\u0000\u0000s work at theYards.                  *       *       *       *       *He walked slowly from the ramp to the offices of the Oldham TradingCorporation. â\u0000\u0000Morning, Ross boy,â\u0000\u0000 hisbreezy young boss greeted him.Charles Oldham IVâ\u0000\u0000s father had always taken a paternal attitude towardhis help, and Charles Oldham IV was not going tochange anything thatDaddy had done. He shook Rossâ\u0000\u0000s hand at the door of the suite andapologized because they hadnâ\u0000\u0000t been able to find a newsecretary for himyet. Theyâ\u0000\u0000d been looking for two weeks, but the three applicants theyhad been able to dredge up had all been hopeless. â\u0000\u0000Itâ\u0000\u0000s thedamnChamber,â\u0000\u0000 said Charles Oldham IV, winsomely gesturing with his hands toshow how helpless men of affairs were against the blunderinginterference ofGovernment. â\u0000\u0000Damn labor shortage is nothing but a damnartificial scarcity crisis. Daddy saw it; he knew it was coming.â\u0000\u0000Ross almost told him he wasquitting, but held back. Maybe it wasbecause he didnâ\u0000\u0000t want to spoil Oldhamâ\u0000\u0000s day with bad news, right on topof the opening bell. Or maybe it wasbecause, in spite of a sleeplessnight, he still wasnâ\u0000\u0000t quite sure.The morningâ\u0000\u0000s work helped him to become sure. It was the same monotonousgrind.Threefreighters had arrived at dawn from Halseyâ\u0000\u0000s third moon, but noneof them was any affair of his. There was an export shipment of jewelryand watches to beattended to, but the ship was not to take off foranother week. It scarcely classified as urgent. Ross worked on themanifests for a couple of hours, stared throughhis window for an hour,and then it was time for lunch.Little Marconi hailed him as he passed through the tradersâ\u0000\u0000 lounge.Of all the juniors on the Exchange,Marconi was the one Ross foundeasiest to take. He was lean and dark where Ross was solid and fair;worse, he stood four ranks above Ross in seniority. But, sinceRossworked for Oldham, and Marconi worked for Haarlandâ\u0000\u0000s, the differencecould be waived in social intercourse.Ross suspected that, to Marconi as to him,trading was only a jobâ\u0000\u0000a dullone, and not a crusade. And he knew that Marconiâ\u0000\u0000s reading was notconfined to bills of lading. â\u0000\u0000Lunch?â\u0000\u0000 askedMarconi. â\u0000\u0000Sure,â\u0000\u0000 Ross said.And he knew heâ\u0000\u0000d probably spill his secret to the little man fromHaarlandâ\u0000\u0000s.The skyroom wascrowdedâ\u0000\u0000comparatively. All eight of the usual tableswere taken; they pushed on into the roped-off area by the windows andfound a table overlooking theYards. Marconi blew dust off his chair.â\u0000\u0000Been a long time since this was used,â\u0000\u0000 he grumbled. â\u0000\u0000Drink?â\u0000\u0000 He raisedhis eyebrows when Ross nodded.It made a break; Marconi was the oneusually who had a drink with lunch, Ross never touched it.When the drinks came, each of them said to the other inperfectsynchronism: â\u0000\u0000Iâ\u0000\u0000ve got something to tell you.â\u0000\u0000They looked startledâ\u0000\u0000then laughed. â\u0000\u0000Go ahead,â\u0000\u0000 said Ross.The little man didnâ\u0000\u0000teven argue. Rapturously he drew a photo out of hispocket.God, thought Ross wearily, Lurline again! He studied the picture with ashow of interest. â\u0000\u0000Newsnap?â\u0000\u0000 he asked brightly. â\u0000\u0000Lovely girlâ\u0000\u0000â\u0000\u0000â\u0000\u0000 Then henoticed the inscription: _To my fiance, with crates of love._ â\u0000\u0000Well!â\u0000\u0000 hesaid,â\u0000\u0000Fiance, is it? Congratulations, Marconi!â\u0000\u0000Marconi was almost drooling on the photo. â\u0000\u0000Next month,â\u0000\u0000 he said happily.â\u0000\u0000A big, big wedding. Forkeeps, Rossâ\u0000\u0000for keeps. With children!â\u0000\u0000Ross made an expression of polite surprise. â\u0000\u0000You donâ\u0000\u0000t say!â\u0000\u0000 he said.â\u0000\u0000Itâ\u0000\u0000s all down in blackand white! She agrees to have two children inthe first five yearsâ\u0000\u0000no permissive clause, a straight guarantee. Fifteenhundred annual allowance per child. And,Ross, do you know what? Herlawyer told her right in front of me that she ought to ask for threethousand, and she told him, â\u0000\u0000No, Mr. Turek. I happen to be inlove.â\u0000\u0000 Howdo you like that, Ross?â\u0000\u0000â\u0000\u0000A girl in a million,â\u0000\u0000 Ross said feebly. His private thoughts were thatMarconi had been gaffed and netted like asugar perch. Lurline was ofthe Old Landowners, who didnâ\u0000\u0000t own anything much but land these days,and Marconi was an undersized nobody who happened tomake a very goodliving. Sure she happened to be in love. Smartest thing she could be. Ofcourse, promising to have children sounded pretty special; butthepapers were full of those things every day. Marconi could reliably becounted on to hang himself. Heâ\u0000\u0000d promise her breakfast in bed everythird week end,or the maid that he couldnâ\u0000\u0000t possibly find on the labormarket, and the courts would throw all the promises on both sides out ofthe contract as a matter ofsimple equity. But the marriage would stick,all right.Marconi had himself a final moist, fatuous sigh and returned the phototo his pocket. â\u0000\u0000And now,â\u0000\u0000 heasked brightly, craning his neck for thewaiter, â\u0000\u0000whatâ\u0000\u0000s your news?â\u0000\u0000Ross sipped his drink, staring out at the nuzzling freighters in theirhemisphericalslips. He said abruptly, â\u0000\u0000I might be on one of those nextweek. Fallonâ\u0000\u0000s got a purserâ\u0000\u0000s berth open.â\u0000\u0000Marconi forgot the waiter and gaped.â\u0000\u0000Quitting?â\u0000\u0000â\u0000\u0000Iâ\u0000\u0000ve got to do something!â\u0000\u0000 Ross exploded. His own voice scared him;there was a knife blade of hysteria in the sound of it. Hegripped theedge of the table and forced himself to be calm and deliberate.Marconi said tardily, â\u0000\u0000Easy, Ross.â\u0000\u0000â\u0000\u0000Easy! Youâ\u0000\u0000ve said it, Marconi:â\u0000\u0000Easy.â\u0000\u0000 Everythingâ\u0000\u0000s so damned easy andso damned boring that Iâ\u0000\u0000m just about ready to blow! Iâ\u0000\u0000ve got to dosomething,â\u0000\u0000 he repeated.â\u0000\u0000Iâ\u0000\u0000m getting nowhere! I push papers around andthen I push them back again. You know what happens next. You get softand paunchy. You find yourselfgoing by the book instead of by yourhead. Youâ\u0000\u0000re covered, if you go by the bookâ\u0000\u0000no matter what happens. Andyou might just as well bedead!â\u0000\u0000â\u0000\u0000Now, Rossâ\u0000\u0000â\u0000\u0000â\u0000\u0000â\u0000\u0000Now, hell!â\u0000\u0000 Ross flared. â\u0000\u0000Marconi, I swear I think thereâ\u0000\u0000s somethingwrong with me! Look, take GhostTown for instance. Ever wonder whynobody lives there, except a couple of crazy old hermits?â\u0000\u0000â\u0000\u0000Why, itâ\u0000\u0000s Ghost Town,â\u0000\u0000 Marconi explained."}

AND NEW YORK    1904    [_All rights reserved_]    COPYRIGHT1904    BY    FREDERICK WARNE & CO.    ENTERED AT STATIONERS' HALL.[Illustration]ONCE upon a time there was a very beautiful doll's-house; it was redbrickwith white windows, and it had real muslin curtains and a frontdoor and a chimney.IT belonged to two Dolls called Lucinda and Jane; at least it belongedtoLucinda, but she never ordered meals.Jane was the Cook; but she never did any cooking, because the dinnerhad been bought ready-made, in a box full ofshavings.[Illustration][Illustration]THERE were two red lobsters and a ham, a fish, a pudding, and somepears and oranges.They would not come off the plates,but they were extremely beautiful.ONE morning Lucinda and Jane had gone out for a drive in the doll'sperambulator. There was no one in the nursery, and it wasvery quiet.Presently there was a little scuffling, scratching noise in a cornernear the fire-place, where there was a hole under the skirting-board.Tom Thumb putout his head for a moment, and then popped it in again.Tom Thumb was a mouse.[Illustration][Illustration]A MINUTE afterwards, Hunca Munca, his wife, put herhead out, too; andwhen she saw that there was no one in the nursery, she ventured out onthe oilcloth under the coal-box.THE doll's-house stood at the other sideof the fire-place. Tom Thumband Hunca Munca went cautiously across the hearthrug. They pushed thefront door--it was not fast.[Illustration][Illustration]TOMTHUMB and Hunca Munca went upstairs and peeped into thedining-room. Then they squeaked with joy!Such a lovely dinner was laid out upon the table! Therewere tinspoons, and lead knives and forks, and two dolly-chairs--all _so_convenient!TOM THUMB set to work at once to carve the ham. It was a beautifulshinyyellow, streaked with red.The knife crumpled up and hurt him; he put his finger in his mouth.\"It is not boiled enough; it is hard. You have a try, HuncaMunca.\"[Illustration][Illustration]HUNCA MUNCA stood up in her chair, and chopped at the ham with anotherlead knife.\"It's as hard as the hams at thecheesemonger's,\" said Hunca Munca.THE ham broke off the plate with a jerk, and rolled under the table.\"Let it alone,\" said Tom Thumb; \"give me some fish,Hunca Munca!\"[Illustration][Illustration]HUNCA MUNCA tried every tin spoon in turn; the fish was glued to thedish.Then Tom Thumb lost his temper. He put theham in the middle of thefloor, and hit it with the tongs and with the shovel--bang, bang,smash, smash!The ham flew all into pieces, for underneath the shinypaint it wasmade of nothing but plaster!THEN there was no end to the rage and disappointment of Tom Thumb andHunca Munca. They broke up the pudding, thelobsters, the pears and theoranges.As the fish would not come off the plate, they put it into the red-hotcrinkly paper fire in the kitchen; but it would not burneither.[Illustration][Illustration]TOM THUMB went up the kitchen chimney and looked out at the top--therewas no soot.WHILE Tom Thumb was up the chimney,Hunca Munca had anotherdisappointment. She found some tiny canisters upon the dresser,labelled--Rice--Coffee--Sago--but when she turned them upsidedown,there was nothing inside except red and blue beads.[Illustration][Illustration]THEN those mice set to work to do all the mischief theycould--especially TomThumb! He took Jane's clothes out of the chest ofdrawers in her bedroom, and he threw them out of the top floor window.But Hunca Munca had a frugal mind.After pulling half the feathers outof Lucinda's bolster, she remembered that she herself was in want of afeather bed.WITH Tom Thumb's assistance she carried thebolster downstairs, andacross the hearth-rug. It was difficult to squeeze the bolster into themouse-hole; but they managed itsomehow.[Illustration][Illustration]THEN Hunca Munca went back and fetched a chair, a book-case, abird-cage, and several small odds and ends. The book-caseand thebird-cage refused to go into the mouse-hole.HUNCA MUNCA left them behind the coal-box, and went to fetch a cradle.[Illustration][Illustration]HUNCAMUNCA was just returning with another chair, when suddenly therewas a noise of talking outside upon the landing. The mice rushed backto their hole, and thedolls came into the nursery.WHAT a sight met the eyes of Jane and Lucinda!Lucinda sat upon the upset kitchen stove and stared; and Jane leantagainst thekitchen dresser and smiled--but neither of them made anyremark.[Illustration][Illustration]THE book-case and the bird-cage were rescued from underthecoal-box--but Hunca Munca has got the cradle, and some of Lucinda'sclothes.SHE also has some useful pots and pans, and several otherthings.[Illustration][Illustration]THE little girl that the doll's-house belonged to, said,--\"I will geta doll dressed like a policeman!\"BUT the nurse said,--\"I will set amouse-trap!\"[Illustration]SO that is the story of the two Bad Mice,--but they were not so veryvery naughty after all, because Tom Thumb paid for everything hebroke.He found a crooked sixpence under the hearthrug; and upon ChristmasEve, he and Hunca Munca stuffed it into one of the stockings of LucindaandJane.[Illustration][Illustration]AND very early every morning--before anybody is awake--Hunca Muncacomes with her dust-pan and her broom to sweep theDollies' house!

The name over the window was\"Ginger and Pickles.\"It was a little small shop just the right size forDolls--Lucinda and JaneDoll-cook always bought their groceries at Ginger and Pickles.The counter inside was a convenient height for rabbits. Ginger andPicklessold red spotty pocket-handkerchiefs at a penny three farthings.They also sold sugar, and snuff and galoshes.In fact, although it was such a small shop it soldnearlyeverything--except a few things that you want in a hurry--like bootlaces,hair-pins and mutton chops.Ginger and Pickles were the people who kept the shop.Ginger was a yellowtom-cat, and Pickles was a terrier.The rabbits were always a little bit afraid of Pickles.[Illustration][Illustration]The shop was also patronizedby mice--only the mice were rather afraid ofGinger.Ginger usually requested Pickles to serve them, because he said it madehis mouth water.\"I cannot bear,\" saidhe, \"to see them going out at the door carryingtheir little parcels.\"\"I have the same feeling about rats,\" replied Pickles, \"but it wouldnever do to eat our owncustomers; they would leave us and go to TabithaTwitchit's.\"\"On the contrary, they would go nowhere,\" replied Ginger gloomily.(Tabitha Twitchit kept the onlyother shop in the village. She did notgive credit.)[Illustration][Illustration]Ginger and Pickles gave unlimited credit.Now the meaning of \"credit\" is this--when acustomer buys a bar of soap,instead of the customer pulling out a purse and paying for it--she saysshe will pay another time.And Pickles makes a low bow andsays, \"With pleasure, madam,\" and it iswritten down in a book.The customers come again and again, and buy quantities, in spite of beingafraid of Ginger andPickles.But there is no money in what is called the \"till.\"[Illustration][Illustration]The customers came in crowds every day and bought quantities, especiallythetoffee customers. But there was always no money; they never paid foras much as a pennyworth of peppermints.But the sales were enormous, ten times as largeas Tabitha Twitchit's.[Illustration]As there was always no money, Ginger and Pickles were obliged to eattheir own goods.Pickles ate biscuits and Ginger ate a driedhaddock.They ate them by candle-light after the shop was closed.[Illustration]When it came to Jan. 1st there was still no money, and Pickles was unableto buy adog licence.\"It is very unpleasant, I am afraid of the police,\" said Pickles.\"It is your own fault for being a terrier; _I_ do not require a licence,and neither doesKep, the Collie dog.\"\"It is very uncomfortable, I am afraid I shall be summoned. I have triedin vain to get a licence upon credit at the Post Office;\" saidPickles.\"The place is full of policemen. I met one as I was coming home.\"\"Let us send in the bill again to Samuel Whiskers, Ginger, he owes 22/9for bacon.\"\"I donot believe that he intends to pay at all,\" replied Ginger.[Illustration]\"And I feel sure that Anna Maria pockets things--Where are all the creamcrackers?\"\"You haveeaten them yourself,\" replied Ginger.[Illustration]Ginger and Pickles retired into the back parlour.They did accounts. They added up sums and sums, andsums.\"Samuel Whiskers has run up a bill as long as his tail; he has had anounce and three-quarters of snuff since October.\"\"What is seven pounds of butter at1/3, and a stick of sealing wax andfour matches?\"\"Send in all the bills again to everybody 'with comp'ts,'\" replied Ginger.[Illustration][Illustration]After a timethey heard a noise in the shop, as if something had beenpushed in at the door. They came out of the back parlour. There was anenvelope lying on the counter,and a policeman writing in a note-book!Pickles nearly had a fit, he barked and he barked and made little rushes.\"Bite him, Pickles! bite him!\" spluttered Gingerbehind a sugar-barrel,\"he's only a German doll!\"The policeman went on writing in his notebook; twice he put his pencil inhis mouth, and once he dipped it in thetreacle.Pickles barked till he was hoarse. But still the policeman took no notice.He had bead eyes, and his helmet was sewed on with stitches.[Illustration]Atlength on his last little rush--Pickles found that the shop was empty.The policeman had disappeared.But the envelope remained.[Illustration][Illustration]\"Do youthink that he has gone to fetch a real live policeman? I am afraidit is a summons,\" said Pickles.\"No,\" replied Ginger, who had opened the envelope, \"it is the ratesandtaxes, £3 19 11-3/4.\"\"This is the last straw,\" said Pickles, \"let us close the shop.\"They put up the shutters, and left. But they have not removed fromtheneighbourhood. In fact some people wish they had gone further.[Illustration]Ginger is living in the warren. I do not know what occupation he pursues;he looksstout and comfortable.[Illustration][Illustration]Pickles is at present a gamekeeper.[Illustration]The closing of the shop caused great inconvenience. TabithaTwitchitimmediately raised the price of everything a half-penny; and she continuedto refuse to give credit.Of course there are the trades-men's carts--thebutcher, the fish-man andTimothy Baker.But a person cannot live on \"seed wigs\" and sponge-cake andbutter-buns--not even when the sponge-cake is as good asTimothy's![Illustration]After a time Mr. John Dormouse and his daughter began to sell peppermintsand candles.But they did not keep \"self-fitting sixes\"; and ittakes five mice tocarry one seven inch candle.[Illustration][Illustration]Besides--the candles which they sell behave very strangely inwarmweather.[Illustration]And Miss Dormouse refused to take back the ends when they were broughtback to her with complaints.And when Mr. John Dormousewas complained to, he stayed in bed, and wouldsay nothing but \"very snug;\" which is not the way to carry on a retailbusiness.[Illustration][Illustration]Soeverybody was pleased when Sally Henny Penny sent out a printed posterto say that she was going to re-open the shop--\"Henny's Opening Sale!Grandco-operative Jumble! Penny's penny prices! Come buy, come try, comebuy!\"The poster really was most 'ticing.[Illustration]There was a rush upon the openingday. The shop was crammed withcustomers, and there were crowds of mice upon the biscuit canisters.Sally Henny Penny gets rather flustered when she tries tocount outchange, and she insists on being paid cash; but she is quite harmless.[Illustration]And she has laid in a remarkable assortment of bargains.There issomething to please everybody.End of Project Gutenberg's The Tale of Ginger and Pickles, by Beatrix Potter*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THETALE OF GINGER AND PICKLES ******** This file should be named 14877-8.txt or 14877-8.zip *****This and all associated files of various formats will be foundin:        http://www.gutenberg.net/1/4/8/7/14877/Produced by Robert Cicconetti, Melissa Er-Raqabi and the PG OnlineDistributed Proofreading Team.Updatededitions will replace the previous one--the old editionswill be renamed.Creating the works from public domain print editions means that noone owns a UnitedStates copyright in these works, so the Foundation(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States withoutpermission and without paying copyrightroyalties.

The sidesof the streets had a quaint richness,from the effect of the gables,and the stacks of chimneys which cut against the blue sky above;while, if the eye fell lower down, the attention was arrested byallkinds of projections in the shape of balcony and oriel; and it wasamusing to see the infinite variety of windows that had been crammedinto the walls long beforeMr Pitt's days of taxation. The streetsbelow suffered from all these projections and advanced stories above;they were dark, and ill-paved with large, round, joltingpebbles, andwith no side-path protected by kerb-stones; there were no lamp-postsfor long winter nights; and no regard was paid to the wants of themiddle class,who neither drove about in coaches of their own, norwere carried by their own men in their own sedans into the veryhalls of their friends. The professional menand their wives, theshopkeepers and their spouses, and all such people, walked about atconsiderable peril both night and day. The broad unwieldycarriageshemmed them up against the houses in the narrow streets. Theinhospitable houses projected their flights of steps almost into thecarriage-way, forcingpedestrians again into the danger they hadavoided for twenty or thirty paces. Then, at night, the only lightwas derived from the glaring, flaring oil-lamps hungabove the doorsof the more aristocratic mansions; just allowing space for thepassers-by to become visible, before they again disappeared into thedarkness,where it was no uncommon thing for robbers to be in waitingfor their prey.The traditions of those bygone times, even to the smallest socialparticular, enable oneto understand more clearly the circumstanceswhich contributed to the formation of character. The daily lifeinto which people are born, and into which they areabsorbed beforethey are well aware, forms chains which only one in a hundred hasmoral strength enough to despise, and to break when the righttimecomes--when an inward necessity for independent individual actionarises, which is superior to all outward conventionalities. Thereforeit is well to know whatwere the chains of daily domestic habit whichwere the natural leading-strings of our forefathers before theylearnt to go alone.The picturesqueness of thoseancient streets has departed now.The Astleys, the Dunstans, the Waverhams--names of power in thatdistrict--go up duly to London in the season, and have soldtheirresidences in the county-town fifty years ago, or more. And when thecounty-town lost its attraction for the Astleys, the Dunstans, theWaverhams, how couldit be supposed that the Domvilles, the Bextons,and the Wildes would continue to go and winter there in theirsecond-rate houses, and with their increasedexpenditure? So thegrand old houses stood empty awhile; and then speculators venturedto purchase, and to turn the deserted mansions into manysmallerdwellings, fitted for professional men, or even (bend your ear lower,lest the shade of Marmaduke, first Baron Waverham, hear) into shops!Even that wasnot so very bad, compared with the next innovation onthe old glories. The shopkeepers found out that the once fashionablestreet was dark, and that the dingylight did not show off theirgoods to advantage; the surgeon could not see to draw his patient'steeth; the lawyer had to ring for candles an hour earlier than hewasaccustomed to do when living in a more plebeian street. In short, bymutual consent, the whole front of one side of the street was pulleddown, and rebuilt inthe flat, mean, unrelieved style of George theThird. The body of the houses was too solidly grand to submit toalteration; so people were occasionally surprised,after passingthrough a commonplace-looking shop, to find themselves at the foot ofa grand carved oaken staircase, lighted by a window of stained glass,storiedall over with armorial bearings.Up such a stair--past such a window (through which the moonlight fellon her with a glory of many colours)--Ruth Hilton passedwearily oneJanuary night, now many years ago. I call it night; but, strictlyspeaking, it was morning. Two o'clock in the morning chimed forththe old bells of StSaviour's. And yet more than a dozen girls stillsat in the room into which Ruth entered, stitching away as if forvery life, not daring to gape, or show any outwardmanifestation ofsleepiness. They only sighed a little when Ruth told Mrs Mason thehour of the night, as the result of her errand; for they knew that,stay up as lateas they might, the work-hours of the next day mustbegin at eight, and their young limbs were very weary.Mrs Mason worked away as hard as any of them; butshe was older andtougher; and, besides, the gains were hers. But even she perceivedthat some rest was needed. \"Young ladies! there will be an intervalallowedof half an hour. Ring the bell, Miss Sutton. Martha shallbring you up some bread and cheese and beer. You will be so good asto eat it standing--away from thedresses--and to have your handswashed ready for work when I return. In half an hour,\" said she oncemore, very distinctly; and then she left the room.It wascurious to watch the young girls as they instantaneouslyavailed themselves of Mrs Mason's absence. One fat, particularlyheavy-looking damsel laid her head onher folded arms and was asleepin a moment; refusing to be wakened for her share in the frugalsupper, but springing up with a frightened look at the sound ofMrsMason's returning footstep, even while it was still far off onthe echoing stairs. Two or three others huddled over the scantyfireplace, which, with every possibleeconomy of space, and noattempt whatever at anything of grace or ornament, was inserted inthe slight, flat-looking wall, that had been run up by thepresentowner of the property to portion off this division of the grand olddrawing-room of the mansion. Some employed the time in eating theirbread and cheese,with as measured and incessant a motion of the jaws(and almost as stupidly placid an expression of countenance), as youmay see in cows ruminating in the firstmeadow you happen to pass.Some held up admiringly the beautiful ball-dress in progress, whileothers examined the effect, backing from the object to becriticisedin the true artistic manner. Others stretched themselves into allsorts of postures to relieve the weary muscles; one or two gave ventto all the yawns,coughs, and sneezes that had been pent up so longin the presence of Mrs Mason. But Ruth Hilton sprang to the large oldwindow, and pressed against it as a birdpresses against the bars ofits cage. She put back the blind, and gazed into the quiet moonlightnight. It was doubly light--almost as much so as day--foreverythingwas covered with the deep snow which had been falling silently eversince the evening before. The window was in a square recess; the oldstrange littlepanes of glass had been replaced by those which gavemore light. A little distance off, the feathery branches of a larchwaved softly to and fro in the scarcelyperceptible night-breeze.Poor old larch! the time had been when it had stood in a pleasantlawn, with the tender grass creeping caressingly up to its verytrunk;but now the lawn was divided into yards and squalidback premises, and the larch was pent up and girded about withflag-stones. The snow lay thick on its boughs,and now and then fellnoiselessly down. The old stables had been added to, and altered intoa dismal street of mean-looking houses, back to back with theancientmansions. And over all these changes from grandeur to squalor, bentdown the purple heavens with their unchanging splendour!Ruth pressed her hotforehead against the cold glass, and strainedher aching eyes in gazing out on the lovely sky of a winter's night.The impulse was strong upon her to snatch up ashawl, and wrapping itround her head, to sally forth and enjoy the glory; and time was whenthat impulse would have been instantly followed; but now, Ruth'seyesfilled with tears, and she stood quite still, dreaming of the daysthat were gone. Some one touched her shoulder while her thoughts werefar away,remembering past January nights, which had resembled this,and were yet so different.\"Ruth, love,\" whispered a girl who had unwillingly distinguishedherself by along hard fit of coughing, \"come and have some supper.You don't know yet how it helps one through the night.\"\"One run--one blow of the fresh air would do me"}

_\"Et ignotas animum dimittit in artes.\"Ovid,Metamorphoses, VIII., 18._

Chapter 1Once upon a time and a very good time it was there was a moocow comingdown along the road and this moocow thatwas coming down along the roadmet a nicens little boy named baby tuckoo...His father told him that story: his father looked at him through aglass: he had ahairy face.He was baby tuckoo. The moocow came down the road where Betty Byrnelived: she sold lemon platt. O, the wild rose blossoms On the little greenplace.He sang that song. That was his song. O, the green wothe botheth.When you wet the bed first it is warm then it gets cold. His mother puton the oilsheet.That had the queer smell.His mother had a nicer smell than his father. She played on the pianothe sailor's hornpipe for him to dance. He danced: Tralalalala, Tralala tralaladdy, Tralala lala, Tralala lala.Uncle Charles and Dante clapped. They were older than his father andmother but uncle Charles was olderthan Dante.Dante had two brushes in her press. The brush with the maroon velvetback was for Michael Davitt and the brush with the green velvet backwas forParnell. Dante gave him a cachou every time he brought her apiece of tissue paper.The Vances lived in number seven. They had a different father andmother.They were Eileen's father and mother. When they were grown uphe was going to marry Eileen. He hid under the table. His mother said:--O, Stephen willapologize.Dante said:--O, if not, the eagles will come and pull out his eyes.-- Pull out his eyes, Apologize, Apologize, Pull out his eyes. Apologize, Pullout his eyes, Pull out his eyes, Apologize.* * * * *The wide playgrounds were swarming with boys. All were shouting and theprefects urged them on withstrong cries. The evening air was pale andchilly and after every charge and thud of the footballers the greasyleather orb flew like a heavy bird through the greylight. He kept onthe fringe of his line, out of sight of his prefect, out of the reachof the rude feet, feigning to run now and then. He felt his body smalland weakamid the throng of the players and his eyes were weak andwatery. Rody Kickham was not like that: he would be captain of thethird line all the fellows said.RodyKickham was a decent fellow but Nasty Roche was a stink. RodyKickham had greaves in his number and a hamper in the refectory. NastyRoche had big hands. Hecalled the Friday pudding dog-in-the-blanket.And one day he had asked:--What is your name?Stephen had answered: Stephen Dedalus.Then Nasty Roche hadsaid:--What kind of a name is that?And when Stephen had not been able to answer Nasty Roche had asked:--What is your father?Stephen had answered:--Agentleman.Then Nasty Roche had asked:--Is he a magistrate?He crept about from point to point on the fringe of his line, makinglittle runs now and then. But hishands were bluish with cold. He kepthis hands in the side pockets of his belted grey suit. That was a beltround his pocket. And belt was also to give a fellow abelt. One day afellow said to Cantwell:--I'd give you such a belt in a second.Cantwell had answered:--Go and fight your match. Give Cecil Thunder a belt. I'd liketo seeyou. He'd give you a toe in the rump for yourself.That was not a nice expression. His mother had told him not to speakwith the rough boys in the college.Nice mother! The first day in thehall of the castle when she had said goodbye she had put up her veildouble to her nose to kiss him: and her nose and eyes werered. But hehad pretended not to see that she was going to cry. She was a nicemother but she was not so nice when she cried. And his father had givenhim twofive-shilling pieces for pocket money. And his father had toldhim if he wanted anything to write home to him and, whatever he did,never to peach on a fellow.Then at the door of the castle the rectorhad shaken hands with his father and mother, his soutane fluttering inthe breeze, and the car had driven off with hisfather and mother onit. They had cried to him from the car, waving their hands:--Goodbye, Stephen, goodbye!--Goodbye, Stephen, goodbye!He was caught inthe whirl of a scrimmage and, fearful of the flashingeyes and muddy boots, bent down to look through the legs. The fellowswere struggling and groaning and theirlegs were rubbing and kickingand stamping. Then Jack Lawton's yellow boots dodged out the ball andall the other boots and legs ran after. He ran after them alittle wayand then stopped. It was useless to run on. Soon they would be goinghome for the holidays. After supper in the study hall he would changethe numberpasted up inside his desk from seventy-seven to seventy-six.It would be better to be in the study hall than out there in the cold.The sky was pale and cold butthere were lights in the castle. Hewondered from which window Hamilton Rowan had thrown his hat on theha-ha and had there been flowerbeds at that timeunder the windows. Oneday when he had been called to the castle the butler had shown him themarks of the soldiers' slugs in the wood of the door and had givenhima piece of shortbread that the community ate. It was nice and warm tosee the lights in the castle. It was like something in a book. PerhapsLeicester Abbeywas like that. And there were nice sentences in DoctorCornwell's Spelling Book. They were like poetry but they were onlysentences to learn the spellingfrom. Wolsey died in Leicester Abbey Where the abbots buried him. Canker is a disease of plants, Cancer one of animals.It would be nice to lie on thehearthrug before the fire, leaning hishead upon his hands, and think on those sentences. He shivered as if hehad cold slimy water next his skin. That was mean ofWells to shoulderhim into the square ditch because he would not swop his little snuffbox for Wells's seasoned hacking chestnut, the conqueror of forty. Howcoldand slimy the water had been! A fellow had once seen a big ratjump into the scum. Mother was sitting at the fire with Dante waitingfor Brigid to bring in the tea.She had her feet on the fender and herjewelly slippers were so hot and they had such a lovely warm smell!Dante knew a lot of things. She had taught him wherethe MozambiqueChannel was and what was the longest river in America and what was thename of the highest mountain in the moon. Father Arnall knew morethanDante because he was a priest but both his father and uncle Charlessaid that Dante was a clever woman and a well-read woman. And whenDante made thatnoise after dinner and then put up her hand to hermouth: that was heartburn.A voice cried far out on the playground:--All in!Then other voices cried from thelower and third lines:--All in! All in!The players closed around, flushed and muddy, and he went among them,glad to go in. Rody Kickham held the ball by itsgreasy lace. A fellowasked him to give it one last: but he walked on without even answeringthe fellow. Simon Moonan told him not to because the prefectwaslooking. The fellow turned to Simon Moonan and said:--We all know why you speak. You are McGlade's suck.Suck was a queer word. The fellow called SimonMoonan that name becauseSimon Moonan used to tie the prefect's false sleeves behind his backand the prefect used to let on to be angry. But the sound wasugly.Once he had washed his hands in the lavatory of the Wicklow Hotel andhis father pulled the stopper up by the chain after and the dirty waterwent downthrough the hole in the basin. And when it had all gone downslowly the hole in the basin had made a sound like that: suck. Onlylouder.To remember that and thewhite look of the lavatory made him feel coldand then hot. There were two cocks that you turned and water came out:cold and hot. He felt cold and then a littlehot: and he could see thenames printed on the cocks. That was a very queer thing.And the air in the corridor chilled him too. It was queer and wettish.But soonthe gas would be lit and in burning it made a light noise likea little song. Always the same: and when the fellows stopped talking inthe playroom you could hearit.It was the hour for sums. Father Arnall wrote a hard sum on the boardand then said:--Now then, who will win? Go ahead, York! Go ahead, Lancaster!Stephentried his best, but the sum was too hard and he felt confused.The little silk badge with the white rose on it that was pinned on thebreast of his jacket began toflutter. He was no good at sums, but hetried his best so that York might not lose. Father Arnall's face lookedvery black, but he was not in a wax: he was laughing.Then Jack Lawtoncracked his fingers and Father Arnall looked at his copybook and said:--Right. Bravo Lancaster! The red rose wins. Come on now, York!Forgeahead!Jack Lawton looked over from his side. The little silk badge with thered rose on it looked very rich because he had a blue sailor top on.Stephen felt hisown face red too, thinking of all the bets about whowould get first place in elements, Jack Lawton or he. Some weeks JackLawton got the card for first and someweeks he got the card for first.His white silk badge fluttered and fluttered as he worked at the nextsum and heard Father Arnall's voice. Then all his eagernesspassed awayand he felt his face quite cool. He thought his face must be whitebecause it felt so cool. He could not get out the answer for the sumbut it did notmatter. White roses and red roses: those were beautifulcolours to think of. And the cards for first place and second place andthird place were beautiful colourstoo: pink and cream and lavender.Lavender and cream and pink roses were beautiful to think of. Perhaps awild rose might be like those colours and heremembered the song aboutthe wild rose blossoms on the little green place. But you could nothave a green rose. But perhaps somewhere in the world youcould.The bell rang and then the classes began to file out of the rooms andalong the corridors towards the refectory. He sat looking at the twoprints of butter onhis plate but could not eat the damp bread. Thetablecloth was damp and limp. But he drank off the hot weak tea whichthe clumsy scullion, girt with a whiteapron, poured into his cup. Hewondered whether the scullion's apron was damp too or whether all whitethings were cold and damp. Nasty Roche and Saurindrank cocoa thattheir people sent them in tins. They said they could not drink the tea;that it was hogwash. Their fathers were magistrates, the fellows said.All theboys seemed to him very strange.

I may credit the seductive influence of an old vintage uponthe narrator for the beginning of it, and my own skeptical incredulityduring thedays that followed for the balance of the strange tale.When my convivial host discovered that he had told me so much, and thatI was prone to doubtfulness, hisfoolish pride assumed the task the oldvintage had commenced, and so he unearthed written evidence in the formof musty manuscript, and dry official records ofthe British ColonialOffice to support many of the salient features of his remarkablenarrative.I do not say the story is true, for I did not witness thehappeningswhich it portrays, but the fact that in the telling of it to you I havetaken fictitious names for the principal characters quite sufficientlyevidences thesincerity of my own belief that it MAY be true.The yellow, mildewed pages of the diary of a man long dead, and therecords of the Colonial Office dovetail perfectlywith the narrative ofmy convivial host, and so I give you the story as I painstakinglypieced it out from these several various agencies.If you do not find it credibleyou will at least be as one with me inacknowledging that it is unique, remarkable, and interesting.From the records of the Colonial Office and from the dead man'sdiarywe learn that a certain young English nobleman, whom we shall call JohnClayton, Lord Greystoke, was commissioned to make a peculiarlydelicateinvestigation of conditions in a British West Coast African Colony fromwhose simple native inhabitants another European power was known to berecruitingsoldiers for its native army, which it used solely for theforcible collection of rubber and ivory from the savage tribes alongthe Congo and the Aruwimi.  The nativesof the British Colonycomplained that many of their young men were enticed away through themedium of fair and glowing promises, but that few if any everreturnedto their families.The Englishmen in Africa went even further, saying that these poorblacks were held in virtual slavery, since after their terms ofenlistmentexpired their ignorance was imposed upon by their whiteofficers, and they were told that they had yet several years to serve.And so the Colonial Office appointedJohn Clayton to a new post inBritish West Africa, but his confidential instructions centered on athorough investigation of the unfair treatment of blackBritishsubjects by the officers of a friendly European power.  Why he wassent, is, however, of little moment to this story, for he never made aninvestigation, nor,in fact, did he ever reach his destination.Clayton was the type of Englishman that one likes best to associatewith the noblest monuments of historic achievementupon a thousandvictorious battlefields--a strong, virile man--mentally, morally, andphysically.In stature he was above the average height; his eyes were gray,hisfeatures regular and strong; his carriage that of perfect, robusthealth influenced by his years of army training.Political ambition had caused him to seektransference from the army tothe Colonial Office and so we find him, still young, entrusted with adelicate and important commission in the service of theQueen.When he received this appointment he was both elated and appalled.  Thepreferment seemed to him in the nature of a well-merited reward forpainstakingand intelligent service, and as a stepping stone to postsof greater importance and responsibility; but, on the other hand, hehad been married to the Hon. AliceRutherford for scarce a threemonths, and it was the thought of taking this fair young girl into thedangers and isolation of tropical Africa that appalled him.For hersake he would have refused the appointment, but she would nothave it so.  Instead she insisted that he accept, and, indeed, take herwith him.There weremothers and brothers and sisters, and aunts and cousins toexpress various opinions on the subject, but as to what they severallyadvised history is silent.We knowonly that on a bright May morning in 1888, John, LordGreystoke, and Lady Alice sailed from Dover on their way to Africa.A month later they arrived at Freetownwhere they chartered a smallsailing vessel, the Fuwalda, which was to bear them to their finaldestination.And here John, Lord Greystoke, and Lady Alice, his wife,vanished fromthe eyes and from the knowledge of men.Two months after they weighed anchor and cleared from the port ofFreetown a half dozen British warvessels were scouring the southAtlantic for trace of them or their little vessel, and it was almostimmediately that the wreckage was found upon the shores of St.Helenawhich convinced the world that the Fuwalda had gone down with all onboard, and hence the search was stopped ere it had scarce begun; thoughhopelingered in longing hearts for many years.The Fuwalda, a barkentine of about one hundred tons, was a vessel ofthe type often seen in coastwise trade in the farsouthern Atlantic,their crews composed of the offscourings of the sea--unhanged murderersand cutthroats of every race and every nation.The Fuwalda was noexception to the rule.  Her officers were swarthybullies, hating and hated by their crew.  The captain, while acompetent seaman, was a brute in his treatment ofhis men.  He knew, orat least he used, but two arguments in his dealings with them--abelaying pin and a revolver--nor is it likely that the motleyaggregation hesigned would have understood aught else.So it was that from the second day out from Freetown John Clayton andhis young wife witnessed scenes upon the deckof the Fuwalda such asthey had believed were never enacted outside the covers of printedstories of the sea.It was on the morning of the second day that the firstlink was forgedin what was destined to form a chain of circumstances ending in a lifefor one then unborn such as has never been paralleled in the historyofman.Two sailors were washing down the decks of the Fuwalda, the first matewas on duty, and the captain had stopped to speak with John Clayton andLadyAlice.The men were working backwards toward the little party who were facingaway from the sailors.  Closer and closer they came, until one of themwas directlybehind the captain.  In another moment he would havepassed by and this strange narrative would never have been recorded.But just that instant the officerturned to leave Lord and LadyGreystoke, and, as he did so, tripped against the sailor and sprawledheadlong upon the deck, overturning the water-pail so that hewasdrenched in its dirty contents.For an instant the scene was ludicrous; but only for an instant.  Witha volley of awful oaths, his face suffused with the scarletofmortification and rage, the captain regained his feet, and with aterrific blow felled the sailor to the deck.The man was small and rather old, so that the brutalityof the act wasthus accentuated.  The other seaman, however, was neither old norsmall--a huge bear of a man, with fierce black mustachios, and a greatbull neckset between massive shoulders.As he saw his mate go down he crouched, and, with a low snarl, sprangupon the captain crushing him to his knees with a singlemighty blow.From scarlet the officer's face went white, for this was mutiny; andmutiny he had met and subdued before in his brutal career.  Withoutwaiting torise he whipped a revolver from his pocket, firing pointblank at the great mountain of muscle towering before him; but, quickas he was, John Clayton was almostas quick, so that the bullet whichwas intended for the sailor's heart lodged in the sailor's leg instead,for Lord Greystoke had struck down the captain's arm as hehad seen theweapon flash in the sun.Words passed between Clayton and the captain, the former making itplain that he was disgusted with the brutality displayedtoward thecrew, nor would he countenance anything further of the kind while heand Lady Greystoke remained passengers.The captain was on the point of makingan angry reply, but, thinkingbetter of it, turned on his heel and black and scowling, strode aft.He did not care to antagonize an English official, for theQueen'smighty arm wielded a punitive instrument which he could appreciate, andwhich he feared--England's far-reaching navy.The two sailors picked themselvesup, the older man assisting hiswounded comrade to rise.  The big fellow, who was known among his matesas Black Michael, tried his leg gingerly, and, findingthat it bore hisweight, turned to Clayton with a word of gruff thanks.Though the fellow's tone was surly, his words were evidently wellmeant.  Ere he had scarcefinished his little speech he had turned andwas limping off toward the forecastle with the very apparent intentionof forestalling any further conversation.They didnot see him again for several days, nor did the captain accordthem more than the surliest of grunts when he was forced to speak tothem.They took their meals inhis cabin, as they had before the unfortunateoccurrence; but the captain was careful to see that his duties neverpermitted him to eat at the same time.The otherofficers were coarse, illiterate fellows, but little abovethe villainous crew they bullied, and were only too glad to avoidsocial intercourse with the polished Englishnoble and his lady, sothat the Claytons were left very much to themselves.This in itself accorded perfectly with their desires, but it alsorather isolated them fromthe life of the little ship so that they wereunable to keep in touch with the daily happenings which were toculminate so soon in bloody tragedy.There was in thewhole atmosphere of the craft that undefinablesomething which presages disaster.  Outwardly, to the knowledge of theClaytons, all went on as before upon thelittle vessel; but that therewas an undertow leading them toward some unknown danger both felt,though they did not speak of it to each other.On the second dayafter the wounding of Black Michael, Clayton came ondeck just in time to see the limp body of one of the crew being carriedbelow by four of his fellows while thefirst mate, a heavy belaying pinin his hand, stood glowering at the little party of sullen sailors.Clayton asked no questions--he did not need to--and the following"}

JEREMY FISHERBYBEATRIX POTTER_Author of__\"The Taleof Peter Rabbit,\" &c._FREDERICK WARNE & CO., INC.NEW YORKCOPYRIGHT, 1906BYFREDERICK WARNE & COFORSTEPHANIEFROMCOUSIN B.Once upon a timethere was a frog called Mr. Jeremy Fisher; he lived in alittle damp house amongst the buttercups at the edge of a pond.The water was all slippy-sloppy in thelarder and in the back passage.But Mr. Jeremy liked getting his feet wet; nobody ever scolded him, and henever caught a cold!He was quite pleased when helooked out and saw large drops of rain,splashing in the pond--\"I will get some worms and go fishing and catch a dish of minnows for mydinner,\" said Mr. JeremyFisher. \"If I catch more than five fish, I willinvite my friends Mr. Alderman Ptolemy Tortoise and Sir Isaac Newton. TheAlderman, however, eats salad.\"Mr. Jeremyput on a macintosh, and a pair of shiny goloshes; he took hisrod and basket, and set off with enormous hops to the place where he kepthis boat.The boat wasround and green, and very like the other lily-leaves. It wastied to a water-plant in the middle of the pond.Mr. Jeremy took a reed pole, and pushed the boat outinto open water. \"Iknow a good place for minnows,\" said Mr. Jeremy Fisher.Mr. Jeremy stuck his pole into the mud and fastened the boat to it.Then he settledhimself cross-legged and arranged his fishing tackle. Hehad the dearest little red float. His rod was a tough stalk of grass, hisline was a fine long white horse-hair,and he tied a little wriggling wormat the end.The rain trickled down his back, and for nearly an hour he stared at thefloat.\"This is getting tiresome, I think I shouldlike some lunch,\" said Mr.Jeremy Fisher.He punted back again amongst the water-plants, and took some lunch out ofhis basket.\"I will eat a butterfly sandwich,and wait till the shower is over,\" saidMr. Jeremy Fisher.A great big water-beetle came up underneath the lily leaf and tweaked thetoe of one of his goloshes.Mr.Jeremy crossed his legs up shorter, out of reach, and went on eatinghis sandwich.Once or twice something moved about with a rustle and a splash amongsttherushes at the side of the pond.\"I trust that is not a rat,\" said Mr. Jeremy Fisher; \"I think I had betterget away from here.\"Mr. Jeremy shoved the boat out again alittle way, and dropped in thebait. There was a bite almost directly; the float gave a tremendousbobbit!\"A minnow! a minnow! I have him by the nose!\" cried Mr.Jeremy Fisher,jerking up his rod.But what a horrible surprise! Instead of a smooth fat minnow, Mr. Jeremylanded little Jack Sharp the stickleback, covered withspines!The stickleback floundered about the boat, pricking and snapping until hewas quite out of breath. Then he jumped back into the water.And a shoal of otherlittle fishes put their heads out, and laughed atMr. Jeremy Fisher.And while Mr. Jeremy sat disconsolately on the edge of his boat--suckinghis sore fingers andpeering down into the water--a _much_ worse thinghappened; a really _frightful_ thing it would have been, if Mr. Jeremy hadnot been wearing a macintosh!Agreat big enormous trout came up--ker-pflop-p-p-p! with a splash--andit seized Mr. Jeremy with a snap, \"Ow! Ow! Ow!\"--and then it turned anddived down to thebottom of the pond!But the trout was so displeased with the taste of the macintosh, that inless than half a minute it spat him out again; and the only thingitswallowed was Mr. Jeremy's goloshes.Mr. Jeremy bounced up to the surface of the water, like a cork and thebubbles out of a soda water bottle; and he swamwith all his might to theedge of the pond.He scrambled out on the first bank he came to, and he hopped home acrossthe meadow with his macintosh all intatters.\"What a mercy that was not a pike!\" said Mr. Jeremy Fisher. \"I have lostmy rod and basket; but it does not much matter, for I am sure I shouldnever havedared to go fishing again!\"He put some sticking plaster on his fingers, and his friends both came todinner. He could not offer them fish, but he had something elsein hislarder.Sir Isaac Newton wore his black and gold waistcoat,And Mr. Alderman Ptolemy Tortoise brought a salad with him in a stringbag.And instead of a nicedish of minnows--they had a roasted grasshopperwith lady-bird sauce; which frogs consider a beautiful treat; but _I_think it must have been nasty!THE ENDEndof Project Gutenberg's The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher, by Beatrix Potter*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF MR.

The Second WeddingCHAPTER IWhen the Duchess Was DeadNo one, probably, ever felt himself to be more alone in the worldthan our oldfriend, the Duke of Omnium, when the Duchess died. Whenthis sad event happened he had ceased to be Prime Minister. Duringthe first nine months after he hadleft office he and the Duchessremained in England. Then they had gone abroad, taking with themtheir three children. The eldest, Lord Silverbridge, had beenatOxford, but had had his career there cut short by some more thanordinary youthful folly, which had induced his father to agree withthe college authorities thathis name had better be taken off thecollege books,--all which had been cause of very great sorrow tothe Duke. The other boy was to go to Cambridge; but hisfather hadthought it well to give him a twelvemonth's run on the Continent,under his own inspection. Lady Mary, the only daughter, was theyoungest of thefamily, and she also had been with them on theContinent. They remained the full year abroad, travelling with alarge accompaniment of tutors, lady's-maids,couriers, and sometimesfriends. I do not know that the Duchess or the Duke had enjoyed itmuch; but the young people had seen something of foreign courtsandmuch of foreign scenery, and had perhaps perfected their French. TheDuke had gone to work at his travels with a full determination tocreate for himselfoccupation out of a new kind of life. He hadstudied Dante, and had striven to arouse himself to ecstatic joyamidst the loveliness of the Italian lakes. But through itall hehad been aware that he had failed. The Duchess had made no suchresolution,--had hardly, perhaps, made any attempt; but, in truth,they had both sighedto be back among the war-trumpets. They had bothsuffered much among the trumpets, and yet they longed to return. Hetold himself from day to day, thatthough he had been banished fromthe House of Commons, still, as a peer, he had a seat in Parliament,and that, though he was no longer a minister, still hemight beuseful as a legislator. She, in her career as a leader of fashion,had no doubt met with some trouble,--with some trouble but with nodisgrace; and as shehad been carried about among the lakes andmountains, among the pictures and statues, among the counts andcountesses, she had often felt that there was nohappiness except inthat dominion which circumstances had enabled her to achieve once,and might enable her to achieve again--in the realms ofLondonsociety.Then, in the early spring of 187--, they came back to England, havingpersistently carried out their project, at any rate in regard totime. LordGerald, the younger son, was at once sent up to Trinity.For the eldest son a seat was to be found in the House of Commons,and the fact that a dissolution ofParliament was expected served toprevent any prolonged sojourn abroad. Lady Mary Palliser was at thattime nineteen, and her entrance into the world was to beher mother'sgreat care and great delight. In March they spent a few days inLondon, and then went down to Matching Priory. When she left town theDuchess wascomplaining of cold, sore throat, and debility. A weekafter their arrival at Matching she was dead.Had the heavens fallen and mixed themselves with the earth,had thepeople of London risen in rebellion with French ideas of equality,had the Queen persistently declined to comply with the constitutionaladvice of herministers, had a majority in the House of Commons lostits influence in the country,--the utter prostration of the berefthusband could not have been morecomplete. It was not only that hisheart was torn to pieces, but that he did not know how to look outinto the world. It was as though a man should be suddenlycalled uponto live without hands or even arms. He was helpless, and knew himselfto be helpless. Hitherto he had never specially acknowledged tohimself that hiswife was necessary to him as a component part of hislife. Though he had loved her dearly, and had in all things consultedher welfare and happiness, he had attimes been inclined to thinkthat in the exuberance of her spirits she had been a troublerather than a support to him. But now it was as though alloutsideappliances were taken away from him. There was no one of whom hecould ask a question.For it may be said of this man that, though throughout his lifehehad had many Honourable and Right Honourable friends, and that thoughhe had entertained guests by the score, and though he had achievedfor himself therespect of all good men and the thorough admirationof some few who knew him, he had hardly made for himself a singleintimate friend--except that one who hadnow passed away from him. Toher he had been able to say what he thought, even though she wouldoccasionally ridicule him while he was declaring his feelings.Butthere had been no other human soul to whom he could open himself.There were one or two whom he loved, and perhaps liked; but hisloving and his liking hadbeen exclusively political. He had sohabituated himself to devote his mind and his heart to the service ofhis country, that he had almost risen above or sunk belowhumanity.But she, who had been essentially human, had been a link between himand the world.There were his three children, the youngest of whom was nownearlynineteen, and they surely were links! At the first moment of hisbereavement they were felt to be hardly more than burdens. A moreloving father there wasnot in England, but nature had made him soundemonstrative that as yet they had hardly known his love. In alltheir joys and in all their troubles, in all theirdesires and alltheir disappointments, they had ever gone to their mother. She hadbeen conversant with everything about them, from the boys' billsand the girl'sgloves to the innermost turn in the heart and thedisposition of each. She had known with the utmost accuracy thenature of the scrapes into which LordSilverbridge had precipitatedhimself, and had known also how probable it was that Lord Geraldwould do the same. The results of such scrapes she, ofcourse,deplored; and therefore she would give good counsel, pointing out howimperative it was that such evil-doings should be avoided; but withthe spirit thatproduced the scrapes she fully sympathised. Thefather disliked the spirit almost worse than the results; and wastherefore often irritated and unhappy.And thedifficulties about the girl were almost worse to bear thanthose about the boys. She had done nothing wrong. She had given nosigns of extravagance or otherjuvenile misconduct. But she wasbeautiful and young. How was he to bring her out into the world? Howwas he to decide whom she should or whom she shouldnot marry? Howwas he to guide her through the shoals and rocks which lay in thepath of such a girl before she can achieve matrimony?It was the fate of thefamily that, with a world of acquaintance,they had not many friends. From all close connection with relativeson the side of the Duchess they had been disseveredby old feelingsat first, and afterwards by want of any similitude in the habitsof life. She had, when young, been repressed by male and femaleguardians with aniron hand. Such repression had been needed, and hadbeen perhaps salutary, but it had not left behind it much affection.And then her nearest relatives were notsympathetic with the Duke. Hecould obtain no assistance in the care of his girl from that source.Nor could he even do it from his own cousins' wives, who werehisnearest connections on the side of the Pallisers. They were womento whom he had ever been kind, but to whom he had never opened hisheart. When, in themidst of the stunning sorrow of the first week,he tried to think of all this, it seemed to him that there wasnobody.There had been one lady, a very dear ally,staying in the house withthem when the Duchess died. This was Mrs. Finn, the wife of PhineasFinn, who had been one of the Duke's colleagues when in office.How"}

S.LeFanu1899TOTHE RIGHT HON.THE COUNTESS OF GIFFORD,AS A TOKEN OFRESPECT, SYMPATHY, AND ADMIRATION_This Tale_IS INSCRIBED BYTHEAUTHOR_A PRELIMINARY WORD_The writer of this Tale ventures, in his own person, to address a very fewwords, chiefly of explanation, to his readers. A leadingsituation in this'Story of Bartram-Haugh' is repeated, with a slight variation, from a shortmagazine tale of some fifteen pages written by him, and published longagoin a periodical under the title of 'A Passage in the Secret History of anIrish Countess,' and afterwards, still anonymously, in a small volume underan alteredtitle. It is very unlikely that any of his readers should haveencountered, and still more so that they should remember, this trifle. Thebare possibility, however, hehas ventured to anticipate by this briefexplanation, lest he should be charged with plagiarism--always a disrespectto a reader.May he be permitted a few wordsalso of remonstrance against thepromiscuous application of the term 'sensation' to that large school offiction which transgresses no one of those canons ofconstruction andmorality which, in producing the unapproachable 'Waverley Novels,' theirgreat author imposed upon himself? No one, it is assumed, woulddescribeSir Walter Scott's romances as 'sensation novels;' yet in that marvellousseries there is not a single tale in which death, crime, and, in someform,mystery, have not a place.Passing by those grand romances of 'Ivanhoe,' 'Old Mortality,' and'Kenilworth,' with their terrible intricacies of crime andbloodshed,constructed with so fine a mastery of the art of exciting suspense andhorror, let the reader pick out those two exceptional novels in the serieswhichprofess to paint contemporary manners and the scenes of common life;and remembering in the 'Antiquary' the vision in the tapestried chamber,the duel, thehorrible secret, and the death of old Elspeth, the drownedfisherman, and above all the tremendous situation of the tide-bound partyunder the cliffs; and in 'St.Ronan's Well,' the long-drawn mystery, thesuspicion of insanity, and the catastrophe of suicide;--determine whetheran epithet which it would be a profanation toapply to the structure ofany, even the most exciting of Sir Walter Scott's stories, is fairlyapplicable to tales which, though illimitably inferior in execution,yetobserve the same limitations of incident, and the same moral aims.The author trusts that the Press, to whose masterly criticism and generousencouragementhe and other humble labourers in the art owe so much, willinsist upon the limitation of that degrading term to the peculiar type offiction which it was originallyintended to indicate, and prevent, as theymay, its being made to include the legitimate school of tragic Englishromance, which has been ennobled, and in greatmeasure founded, by thegenius of Sir Walter Scott.CONTENTSCHAPTERI.

IN THE OAK PARLOURCONCLUSIONUNCLE SILASATale of Bartram-HaughCHAPTER I_AUSTIN RUTHYN, OF KNOWL, AND HIS DAUGHTER_It was winter--that is, about the second week in November--and greatgustswere rattling at the windows, and wailing and thundering among our talltrees and ivied chimneys--a very dark night, and a very cheerful fireblazing, apleasant mixture of good round coal and spluttering dry wood, ina genuine old fireplace, in a sombre old room. Black wainscoting glimmeredup to the ceiling, insmall ebony panels; a cheerful clump of wax candleson the tea-table; many old portraits, some grim and pale, others pretty,and some very graceful andcharming, hanging from the walls. Few pictures,except portraits long and short, were there. On the whole, I think youwould have taken the room for our parlour.It was not like our modernnotion of a drawing-room. It was a long room too, and every way capacious,but irregularly shaped.A girl, of a little more thanseventeen, looking, I believe, younger still;slight and rather tall, with a great deal of golden hair, dark grey-eyed,and with a countenance rather sensitive andmelancholy, was sitting at thetea-table, in a reverie. I was that girl.The only other person in the room--the only person in the house related tome--was my father.He was Mr. Ruthyn, of Knowl, so called in his county,but he had many other places, was of a very ancient lineage, who hadrefused a baronetage often, and it wassaid even a viscounty, being of aproud and defiant spirit, and thinking themselves higher in station andpurer of blood than two-thirds of the nobility into whoseranks, it wassaid, they had been invited to enter. Of all this family lore I knew butlittle and vaguely; only what is to be gathered from the fireside talk ofoldretainers in the nursery.I am sure my father loved me, and I know I loved him. With the sureinstinct of childhood I apprehended his tenderness, although it wasneverexpressed in common ways. But my father was an oddity. He had been earlydisappointed in Parliament, where it was his ambition to succeed. Thoughaclever man, he failed there, where very inferior men did extremely well.Then he went abroad, and became a connoisseur and a collector; took a part,on hisreturn, in literary and scientific institutions, and also in thefoundation and direction of some charities. But he tired of this mimicgovernment, and gave himself upto a country life, not that of a sportsman,but rather of a student, staying sometimes at one of his places andsometimes at another, and living a secludedlife.Rather late in life he married, and his beautiful young wife died, leavingme, their only child, to his care. This bereavement, I have been told,changedhim--made him more odd and taciturn than ever, and his temper also,except to me, more severe. There was also some disgrace about his youngerbrother--myuncle Silas--which he felt bitterly.He was now walking up and down this spacious old room, which, extendinground an angle at the far end, was very dark in thatquarter. It was hiswont to walk up and down thus, without speaking--an exercise which used toremind me of Chateaubriand's father in the great chamber of theChâteaude Combourg. At the far end he nearly disappeared in the gloom, and thenreturning emerged for a few minutes, like a portrait with a backgroundofshadow, and then again in silence faded nearly out of view.This monotony and silence would have been terrifying to a person lessaccustomed to it than I. As itwas, it had its effect. I have known myfather a whole day without once speaking to me. Though I loved him verymuch, I was also much in awe of him.While myfather paced the floor, my thoughts were employed about the eventsof a month before. So few things happened at Knowl out of the accustomedroutine, that avery trifling occurrence was enough to set people wonderingand conjecturing in that serene household. My father lived in remarkableseclusion; except for a ride,he hardly ever left the grounds of Knowl; andI don't think it happened twice in the year that a visitor sojourned amongus.There was not even that mild religiousbustle which sometimes besets thewealthy and moral recluse. My father had left the Church of England forsome odd sect, I forget its name, and ultimatelybecame, I was told, aSwedenborgian. But he did not care to trouble me upon the subject. So theold carriage brought my governess, when I had one, the oldhousekeeper,Mrs. Rusk, and myself to the parish church every Sunday. And my father, inthe view of the honest rector who shook his head over him--'a cloudwithoutwater, carried about of winds, and a wandering star to whom is reserved theblackness of darkness'--corresponded with the 'minister' of his church,andwas provokingly contented with his own fertility and illumination; andMrs. Rusk, who was a sound and bitter churchwoman, said he fancied he sawvisions andtalked with angels like the rest of that 'rubbitch.'I don't know that she had any better foundation than analogy and conjecturefor charging my father withsupernatural pretensions; and in all pointswhen her orthodoxy was not concerned, she loved her master and was a loyalhousekeeper.I found her one morningsuperintending preparations for the reception ofa visitor, in the hunting-room it was called, from the pieces of tapestrythat covered its walls, representing scenes_à la Wouvermans_, of falconry,and the chase, dogs, hawks, ladies, gallants, and pages. In the midst ofwhom Mrs. Rusk, in black silk, was rummaging drawers,counting linen, andissuing orders.'Who is coming, Mrs. Rusk?'Well, she only knew his name. It was a Mr. Bryerly. My papa expected him todinner, and to stay forsome days.'I guess he's one of those creatures, dear, for I mentioned his name justto Dr. Clay (the rector), and he says there _is_ a Doctor Bryerly, a"} +{"doc_id":"doc_69","qid":"","text":"The Project Gutenberg EBook of Queen of the Black Coast, by Robert E.

The folk thatyelled and scattered had only a fleetingglimpse of a mailed figure on ablack stallion, a wide scarlet cloak flowing out on the wind. Far up thestreet came the shout and clatter of pursuit, but thehorseman did notlook back. He swept out onto the wharfs and jerked the plunging stallionback on its haunches at the very lip of the pier. Seamen gaped upathim, as they stood to the sweep and striped sail of a high-prowed,broad-waisted galley. The master, sturdy and black-bearded, stood in thebows, easing heraway from the piles with a boat-hook. He yelled angrilyas the horseman sprang from the saddle and with a long leap landedsquarely on the mid-deck.'Who invitedyou aboard?''Get under way!' roared the intruder with a fierce gesture thatspattered red drops from his broadsword.'But we're bound for the coasts of Kush!'expostulated the master.'Then I'm for Kush! Push off, I tell you!' The other cast a quick glanceup the street, along which a squad of horsemen were galloping;farbehind them toiled a group of archers, crossbows on their shoulders.'Can you pay for your passage?' demanded the master.'I pay my way with steel!' roaredthe man in armor, brandishing thegreat sword that glittered bluely in the sun. 'By Crom, man, if youdon't get under way, I'll drench this galley in the blood of itscrew!'The shipmaster was a good judge of men. One glance at the dark scarredface of the swordsman, hardened with passion, and he shouted a quickorder,thrusting strongly against the piles. The galley wallowed outinto clear water, the oars began to clack rhythmically; then a puff ofwind filled the shimmering sail,the light ship heeled to the gust, thentook her course like a swan, gathering headway as she skimmed along.On the wharfs the riders were shaking their swordsand shouting threatsand commands that the ship put about, and yelling for the bowmen tohasten before the craft was out of arbalest range.'Let them rave,'grinned the swordsman hardily. 'Do you keep her on hercourse, master steersman.'The master descended from the small deck between the bows, made hiswaybetween the rows of oarsmen, and mounted the mid-deck. The strangerstood there with his back to the mast, eyes narrowed alertly, swordready. Theshipman eyed him steadily, careful not to make any movetoward the long knife in his belt. He saw a tall powerfully built figurein a black scale-mail hauberk,burnished greaves and a blue-steel helmetfrom which jutted bull's horns highly polished. From the mailedshoulders fell the scarlet cloak, blowing in the sea-wind.A broadshagreen belt with a golden buckle held the scabbard of the broadswordhe bore. Under the horned helmet a square-cut black mane contrastedwithsmoldering blue eyes.'If we must travel together,' said the master, 'we may as well be atpeace with each other. My name is Tito, licensed master-shipman oftheports of Argos. I am bound for Kush, to trade beads and silks and sugarand brass-hilted swords to the black kings for ivory, copra, copper ore,slaves andpearls.'The swordsman glanced back at the rapidly receding docks, where thefigures still gesticulated helplessly, evidently having trouble infinding a boat swiftenough to overhaul the fast-sailing galley.'I am Conan, a Cimmerian,' he answered. 'I came into Argos seekingemployment, but with no wars forward, there wasnothing to which I mightturn my hand.''Why do the guardsmen pursue you?' asked Tito. 'Not that it's any of mybusiness, but I thought perhaps----''I've nothingto conceal,' replied the Cimmerian. 'By Crom, though I'vespent considerable time among you civilized peoples, your ways are stillbeyond mycomprehension.'Well, last night in a tavern, a captain in the king's guard offeredviolence to the sweetheart of a young soldier, who naturally ran himthrough. Butit seems there is some cursed law against killingguardsmen, and the boy and his girl fled away. It was bruited about thatI was seen with them, and so today Iwas haled into court, and a judgeasked me where the lad had gone. I replied that since he was a friend ofmine, I could not betray him. Then the court waxedwrath, and the judgetalked a great deal about my duty to the state, and society, and otherthings I did not understand, and bade me tell where my friend hadflown.By this time I was becoming wrathful myself, for I had explained myposition.'But I choked my ire and held my peace, and the judge squalled that Ihadshown contempt for the court, and that I should be hurled into adungeon to rot until I betrayed my friend. So then, seeing they were allmad, I drew my swordand cleft the judge's skull; then I cut my way outof the court, and seeing the high constable's stallion tied near by, Irode for the wharfs, where I thought to find aship bound for foreignparts.''Well,' said Tito hardily, 'the courts have fleeced me too often insuits with rich merchants for me to owe them any love. I'llhavequestions to answer if I ever anchor in that port again, but I can proveI acted under compulsion. You may as well put up your sword. We'repeaceable sailors,and have nothing against you. Besides, it's as wellto have a fighting-man like yourself on board. Come up to the poop-deckand we'll have a tankard of ale.''Goodenough,' readily responded the Cimmerian, sheathing his sword.The _Argus_ was a small sturdy ship, typical of those trading-craftwhich ply between the ports ofZingara and Argos and the southerncoasts, hugging the shoreline and seldom venturing far into the openocean. It was high of stern, with a tall curving prow;broad in thewaist, sloping beautifully to stem and stern. It was guided by the longsweep from the poop, and propulsion was furnished mainly by the broadstripedsilk sail, aided by a jibsail. The oars were for use in tackingout of creeks and bays, and during calms. There were ten to the side,five fore and five aft of the smallmid-deck. The most precious part ofthe cargo was lashed under this deck, and under the fore-deck. The menslept on deck or between the rowers' benches,protected in bad weatherby canopies. With twenty men at the oars, three at the sweep, and theshipmaster, the crew was complete.So the _Argus_ pushedsteadily southward, with consistently fairweather. The sun beat down from day to day with fiercer heat, and thecanopies were run up--striped silken cloths thatmatched the shimmeringsail and the shining goldwork on the prow and along the gunwales.They sighted the coast of Shem--long rolling meadowlands with thewhitecrowns of the towers of cities in the distance, and horsemen withblue-black beards and hooked noses, who sat their steeds along the shoreand eyed thegalley with suspicion. She did not put in; there was scantprofit in trade with the sons of Shem.Nor did master Tito pull into the broad bay where the Styx riveremptiedits gigantic flood into the ocean, and the massive black castles ofKhemi loomed over the blue waters. Ships did not put unasked into thisport, wheredusky sorcerers wove awful spells in the murk of sacrificialsmoke mounting eternally from blood-stained altars where naked womenscreamed, and where Set, theOld Serpent, arch-demon of the Hyboriansbut god of the Stygians, was said to writhe his shining coils among hisworshippers.Master Tito gave that dreamyglass-floored bay a wide berth, even when aserpent-prowed gondola shot from behind a castellated point of land, andnaked dusky women, with great redblossoms in their hair, stood andcalled to his sailors, and posed and postured brazenly.Now no more shining towers rose inland. They had passed thesouthernborders of Stygia and were cruising along the coasts of Kush. The seaand the ways of the sea were never-ending mysteries to Conan, whosehomelandwas among the high hills of the northern uplands. The wandererwas no less of interest to the sturdy seamen, few of whom had ever seenone of his race.Theywere characteristic Argosean sailors, short and stockily built.Conan towered above them, and no two of them could match his strength.They were hardy androbust, but his was the endurance and vitality of awolf, his thews steeled and his nerves whetted by the hardness of hislife in the world's wastelands. He wasquick to laugh, quick andterrible in his wrath. He was a valiant trencherman, and strong drinkwas a passion and a weakness with him. Naïve as a child in manyways,unfamiliar with the sophistry of civilization, he was naturallyintelligent, jealous of his rights, and dangerous as a hungry tiger.Young in years, he washardened in warfare and wandering, and hissojourns in many lands were evident in his apparel. His horned helmetwas such as was worn by the golden-hairedÃ\u0000sir of Nordheim; his hauberkand greaves were of the finest workmanship of Koth; the fine ring-mailwhich sheathed his arms and legs was of Nemedia; theblade at his girdlewas a great Aquilonian broadsword; and his gorgeous scarlet cloak couldhave been spun nowhere but in Ophir.So they beat southward, andmaster Tito began to look for thehigh-walled villages of the black people. But they found only smokingruins on the shore of a bay, littered with naked blackbodies. Titoswore.'I had good trade here, aforetime. This is the work of pirates.''And if we meet them?' Conan loosened his great blade in its scabbard.'Mine is nowarship. We run, not fight. Yet if it came to a pinch, wehave beaten off reavers before, and might do it again; unless it wereBêlit's _Tigress_.''Who is Bêlit?''Thewildest she-devil unhanged. Unless I read the signs a-wrong, it washer butchers who destroyed that village on the bay. May I some day seeher dangling from theyard-arm! She is called the queen of the blackcoast. She is a Shemite woman, who leads black raiders. They harry theshipping and have sent many a goodtradesman to the bottom.'From under the poop-deck Tito brought out quilted jerkins, steel caps,bows and arrows.'Little use to resist if we're run down,' hegrunted. 'But it rasps thesoul to give up life without a struggle.' * * * * *It was just at sunrise when the lookout shouted a warning.

BEAMPIPERIllustrated by Cartier_This tale is based on an authenticated,documented fact. A man vanished--rightout of this world. And where he went--__In November1809, an Englishman named Benjamin Bathurst vanished,inexplicably and utterly.__He was en route to Hamburg from Vienna, where he had been servingas hisgovernment's envoy to the court of what Napoleon had leftof the Austrian Empire. At an inn in Perleburg, in Prussia, whileexamining a change of horses for hiscoach, he casually steppedout of sight of his secretary and his valet. He was not seen toleave the inn yard. He was not seen again, ever.__At least, not in thiscontinuum...._(From Baron Eugen von Krutz, Minister of Police, to His Excellencythe Count von Berchtenwald, Chancellor to His Majesty FriedrichWilhelm III ofPrussia.)25 November, 1809Your Excellency:A circumstance has come to the notice of this Ministry, thesignificance of which I am at a loss to define, but, sinceitappears to involve matters of State, both here and abroad, I amconvinced that it is of sufficient importance to be brought toyour personal attention. Frankly, Iam unwilling to take anyfurther action in the matter without your advice.Briefly, the situation is this: We are holding, here at theMinistry of Police, a person givinghis name as Benjamin Bathurst,who claims to be a British diplomat. This person was taken intocustody by the police at Perleburg yesterday, as a result ofadisturbance at an inn there; he is being detained on technicalcharges of causing disorder in a public place, and of being asuspicious person. When arrested, hehad in his possession adispatch case, containing a number of papers; these are of such anextraordinary nature that the local authorities declined to assumeanyresponsibility beyond having the man sent here to Berlin.After interviewing this person and examining his papers, I am,I must confess, in much the sameposition. This is not, I amconvinced, any ordinary police matter; there is something verystrange and disturbing here. The man's statements, taken alone,are soincredible as to justify the assumption that he is mad. Icannot, however, adopt this theory, in view of his demeanor,which is that of a man of perfect rationality,and because of theexistence of these papers. The whole thing is mad; incomprehensible!The papers in question accompany, along with copies of thevariousstatements taken at Perleburg, a personal letter to mefrom my nephew, Lieutenant Rudolf von Tarlburg. This last isdeserving of your particular attention;Lieutenant von Tarlburgis a very level-headed young officer, not at all inclined to befanciful or imaginative. It would take a good deal to affect himas hedescribes.The man calling himself Benjamin Bathurst is now lodged in anapartment here at the Ministry; he is being treated with everyconsideration, and, exceptfor freedom of movement, accordedevery privilege.I am, most anxiously awaiting your advice, et cetera, et cetera,Krutz(Report of Traugott Zeller,_Oberwachtmeister_, _Staatspolizei_,made at Perleburg, 25 November, 1809.)At about ten minutes past two of the afternoon of Saturday, 25November, while Iwas at the police station, there entered a manknown to me as Franz Bauer, an inn servant employed by ChristianHauck, at the sign of the Sword & Scepter, herein Perleburg.This man Franz Bauer made complaint to _Staatspolizeikapitan_Ernst Hartenstein, saying that there was a madman making troubleat the inn wherehe, Franz Bauer, worked. I was, therefore,directed, by _Staatspolizeikapitan_ Hartenstein, to go to theSword & Scepter Inn, there to act at discretion to maintainthepeace.Arriving at the inn in company with the said Franz Bauer, I founda considerable crowd of people in the common room, and, in themidst of them, theinnkeeper, Christian Hauck, in altercation witha stranger. This stranger was a gentlemanly-appearing person,dressed in traveling clothes, who had under his arma smallleather dispatch case. As I entered, I could hear him, speaking inGerman with a strong English accent, abusing the innkeeper, thesaid Christian Hauck,and accusing him of having drugged his, thestranger's, wine, and of having stolen his, the stranger's,coach-and-four, and of having abducted his, thestranger's,secretary and servants. This the said Christian Hauck was loudlydenying, and the other people in the inn were taking theinnkeeper's part, and mockingthe stranger for a madman.On entering, I commanded everyone to be silent, in the king's name,and then, as he appeared to be the complaining party of thedispute,I required the foreign gentleman to state to me what was thetrouble. He then repeated his accusations against the innkeeper,Hauck, saying that Hauck,or, rather, another man who resembledHauck and who had claimed to be the innkeeper, had drugged his wineand stolen his coach and made off with hissecretary and hisservants. At this point, the innkeeper and the bystanders all beganshouting denials and contradictions, so that I had to pound on atable with mytruncheon to command silence.I then required the innkeeper, Christian Hauck, to answer thecharges which the stranger had made; this he did with acompletedenial of all of them, saying that the stranger had had no winein his inn, and that he had not been inside the inn until a fewminutes before, when he hadburst in shouting accusations, andthat there had been no secretary, and no valet, and no coachman,and no coach-and-four, at the inn, and that the gentlemanwasraving mad. To all this, he called the people who were in thecommon room to witness.I then required the stranger to account for himself. He saidthat hisname was Benjamin Bathurst, and that he was a Britishdiplomat, returning to England from Vienna. To prove this, heproduced from his dispatch case sundrypapers. One of these wasa letter of safe-conduct, issued by the Prussian Chancellery, inwhich he was named and described as Benjamin Bathurst. Theotherpapers were English, all bearing seals, and appearing to beofficial documents.Accordingly, I requested him to accompany me to the police station,and alsothe innkeeper, and three men whom the innkeeper wanted tobring as witnesses.Traugott Zeller_Oberwachtmeister_Report approved,ErnstHartenstein_Staatspolizeikapitan_(Statement of the self-so-called Benjamin Bathurst, taken at thepolice station at Perleburg, 25 November, 1809.)My name isBenjamin Bathurst, and I am Envoy Extraordinary andMinister Plenipotentiary of the government of His Britannic Majestyto the court of His Majesty Franz I,Emperor of Austria, or, atleast, I was until the events following the Austrian surrendermade necessary my return to London. I left Vienna on the morningofMonday, the 20th, to go to Hamburg to take ship home; I wastraveling in my own coach-and-four, with my secretary, Mr. BertramJardine, and my valet, WilliamSmall, both British subjects, anda coachman, Josef Bidek, an Austrian subject, whom I had hiredfor the trip. Because of the presence of French troops, whomIwas anxious to avoid, I was forced to make a detour west as faras Salzburg before turning north toward Magdeburg, where Icrossed the Elbe. I was unable toget a change of horses for mycoach after leaving Gera, until I reached Perleburg, where Istopped at the Sword & Scepter Inn.Arriving there, I left my coach in theinn yard, and I and mysecretary, Mr. Jardine, went into the inn. A man, not this fellowhere, but another rogue, with more beard and less paunch, andmoreshabbily dressed, but as like him as though he were hisbrother, represented himself as the innkeeper, and I dealt withhim for a change of horses, and ordered abottle of wine formyself and my secretary, and also a pot of beer apiece for myvalet and the coachman, to be taken outside to them. Then Jardineand I sat downto our wine, at a table in the common room, untilthe man who claimed to be the innkeeper came back and told usthat the fresh horses were harnessed to thecoach and ready togo. Then we went outside again.I looked at the two horses on the off side, and then walked aroundin front of the team to look at the twonigh-side horses, and as Idid I felt giddy, as though I were about to fall, and everythingwent black before my eyes. I thought I was having a faintingspell,something I am not at all subject to, and I put out my handto grasp the hitching bar, but could not find it. I am sure, now,that I was unconscious for some time,because when my headcleared, the coach and horses were gone, and in their place was abig farm wagon, jacked up in front, with the right front wheeloff, andtwo peasants were greasing the detached wheel.I looked at them for a moment, unable to credit my eyes, andthen I spoke to them in German, saying, \"Wherethe devil's mycoach-and-four?\"They both straightened, startled: the one who was holding the wheelalmost dropped it.\"Pardon, excellency,\" he said, \"there's beenno coach-and-four here,all the time we've been here.\"\"Yes,\" said his mate, \"and we've been here since just after noon.\"I did not attempt to argue with them. Itoccurred to me--andit is still my opinion--that I was the victim of some plot; thatmy wine had been drugged, that I had been unconscious for sometime, duringwhich my coach had been removed and this wagonsubstituted for it, and that these peasants had been put to workon it and instructed what to say if questioned.If my arrival atthe inn had been anticipated, and everything put in readiness,the whole business would not have taken ten minutes.I therefore entered the inn,determined to have it out withthis rascally innkeeper, but when I returned to the common room,he was nowhere to be seen, and this other fellow, who hasgivenhis name as Christian Hauck, claimed to be the innkeeper anddenied knowledge of any of the things I have just stated.Furthermore, there were fourcavalrymen, Uhlans, drinking beerand playing cards at the table where Jardine and I had had ourwine, and they claimed to have been there for several hours.Ihave no idea why such an elaborate prank, involving theparticipation of many people, should be played on me, except atthe instigation of the French. In thatcase, I cannot understandwhy Prussian soldiers should lend themselves to it.Benjamin Bathurst(Statement of Christian Hauck, innkeeper, taken at thepolicestation at Perleburg, 25 November, 1809.)May it please your honor, my name is Christian Hauck, and I keepan inn at the sign of the Sword & Scepter, and"} +{"doc_id":"doc_71","qid":"","text":"Jurassic Park: The Lost World Script at IMSDb.

THESEANCEOn a march evening, at eight o'clock, Backhouse, the medium--afast-rising star in the psychic world--was ushered into the studyat Prolands, theHampstead residence of Montague Faull. The room wasilluminated only by the light of a blazing fire. The host, eying himwith indolent curiosity, got up, and theusual conventional greetingswere exchanged. Having indicated an easy chair before the fire to hisguest, the South American merchant sank back again into hisown. Theelectric light was switched on. Faull's prominent, clear-cut features,metallic-looking skin, and general air of bored impassiveness, did notseem greatly toimpress the medium, who was accustomed to regard menfrom a special angle. Backhouse, on the contrary, was a novelty to themerchant. As he tranquillystudied him through half closed lids and thesmoke of a cigar, he wondered how this little, thickset person with thepointed beard contrived to remain so fresh andsane in appearance, inview of the morbid nature of his occupation.\"Do you smoke?\" drawled Faull, by way of starting the Conversation. \"No?Then will you take adrink?\"\"Not at present, I thank you.\"A pause.\"Everything is satisfactory? The materialisation will take place?\"\"I see no reason to doubt it.\"\"That's good, for Iwould not like my guests to be disappointed. I haveyour check written out in my pocket.\"\"Afterward will do quite well.\"\"Nine o'clock was the time specified, Ibelieve?\"\"I fancy so.\"The conversation continued to flag. Faull sprawled in his chair, andremained apathetic.\"Would you care to hear what arrangements I havemade?\"\"I am unaware that any are necessary, beyond chairs for your guests.\"\"I mean the decoration of the seance room, the music, and so forth.\"Backhousestared at his host. \"But this is not a theatricalperformance.\"\"That's correct. Perhaps I ought to explain.... There will be ladiespresent, and ladies, you know, areaesthetically inclined.\"\"In that case I have no objection. I only hope they will enjoy theperformance to the end.\"He spoke rather dryly.\"Well, that's all right, then,\"said Faull. Flicking his cigar into thefire, he got up and helped himself to whisky.\"Will you come and see the room?\"\"Thank you, no. I prefer to have nothing to dowith it till the timearrives.\"\"Then let's go to see my sister, Mrs. Jameson, who is in the drawingroom. She sometimes does me the kindness to act as my hostess,as I amunmarried.\"\"I will be delighted,\" said Backhouse coldly.They found the lady alone, sitting by the open pianoforte in a pensiveattitude. She had beenplaying Scriabin and was overcome. The mediumtook in her small, tight, patrician features and porcelain-like hands,and wondered how Faull came by such asister. She received him bravely,with just a shade of quiet emotion. He was used to such receptions atthe hands of the sex, and knew well how to respond tothem.\"What amazes me,\" she half whispered, after ten minutes of graceful,hollow conversation, \"is, if you must know it, not so much themanifestationitself--though that will surely be wonderful--asyour assurance that it will take place. Tell me the grounds of yourconfidence.\"\"I dream with open eyes,\" heanswered, looking around at the door, \"andothers see my dreams. That is all.\"\"But that's beautiful,\" responded Mrs. Jameson. She smiled ratherabsently, for thefirst guest had just entered.It was Kent-Smith, the ex-magistrate, celebrated for his shrewd judicialhumour, which, however, he had the good sense not toattempt to carryinto private life. Although well on the wrong side of seventy, his eyeswere still disconcertingly bright. With the selective skill of an oldman, heimmediately settled himself in the most comfortable of manycomfortable chairs.\"So we are to see wonders tonight?\"\"Fresh material for your autobiography,\"remarked Faull.\"Ah, you should not have mentioned my unfortunate book. An old publicservant is merely amusing himself in his retirement, Mr. Backhouse.Youhave no cause for alarm--I have studied in the school of discretion.\"\"I am not alarmed. There can be no possible objection to your publishingwhatever youplease.\"\"You are most kind,\" said the old man, with a cunning smile.\"Trent is not coming tonight,\" remarked Mrs. Jameson, throwing a curiouslittle glance at herbrother.\"I never thought he would. It's not in his line.\"\"Mrs. Trent, you must understand,\" she went on, addressing theex-magistrate, \"has placed us all under adebt of gratitude. She hasdecorated the old lounge hall upstairs most beautifully, and has securedthe services of the sweetest little orchestra.\"\"But this is Romanmagnificence.\"\"Backhouse thinks the spirits should be treated with more deference,\"laughed Faull.\"Surely, Mr. Backhouse--a poetic environment...\"\"Pardon me. Iam a simple man, and always prefer to reduce things toelemental simplicity. I raise no opposition, but I express my opinion.Nature is one thing, and art isanother.\"\"And I am not sure that I don't agree with you,\" said the ex-magistrate.\"An occasion like this ought to be simple, to guard against thepossibility ofdeception--if you will forgive my bluntness, Mr.Backhouse.\"\"We shall sit in full light,\" replied Backhouse, \"and every opportunitywill be given to all to inspect theroom. I shall also ask you to submitme to a personal examination.\"A rather embarrassed silence followed. It was broken by the arrival oftwo more guests, whoentered together. These were Prior, the prosperousCity coffee importer, and Lang, the stockjobber, well known in his owncircle as an amateur prestidigitator.Backhouse was slightly acquaintedwith the latter. Prior, perfuming the room with the faint odour of wineand tobacco smoke, tried to introduce an atmosphere ofjoviality intothe proceedings. Finding that no one seconded his efforts, however, heshortly subsided and fell to examining the water colours on the walls.Lang,tall, thin, and growing bald, said little, but stared at Backhousea good deal.Coffee, liqueurs, and cigarettes were now brought in. Everyone partook,except Langand the medium. At the same moment, Professor Halbert wasannounced. He was the eminent psychologist, the author and lectureron crime, insanity, genius, andso forth, considered in their mentalaspects. His presence at such a gathering somewhat mystified the otherguests, but all felt as if the object of their meeting hadimmediatelyacquired additional solemnity. He was small, meagre-looking, and mildin manner, but was probably the most stubborn-brained of all thatmixedcompany. Completely ignoring the medium, he at once sat down besideKent-Smith, with whom he began to exchange remarks.At a few minutes past theappointed hour Mrs. Trent entered,unannounced. She was a woman of about twenty-eight. She had a white,demure, saintlike face, smooth black hair, and lips socrimson and fullthat they seemed to be bursting with blood. Her tall, graceful body wasmost expensively attired. Kisses were exchanged between her andMrs.Jameson. She bowed to the rest of the assembly, and stole a half glanceand a smile at Faull. The latter gave her a queer look, and Backhouse,who lostnothing, saw the concealed barbarian in the complacent gleamof his eye. She refused the refreshment that was offered her, and Faullproposed that, as everyonehad now arrived, they should adjourn to thelounge hall.Mrs. Trent held up a slender palm. \"Did you, or did you not, give mecarte blanche, Montague?\"\"Of course Idid,\" said Faull, laughing. \"But what's the matter?\"\"Perhaps I have been rather presumptuous. I don't know. I have inviteda couple of friends to join us. No, noone knows them.... The two mostextraordinary individuals you ever saw. And mediums, I am sure.\"\"It sounds very mysterious. Who are these conspirators?\"\"Atleast tell us their names, you provoking girl,\" put in Mrs. Jameson.\"One rejoices in the name of Maskull, and the other in that ofNightspore. That's nearly all that Iknow about them, so don't overwhelmme with, any more questions.\"\"But where did you pick them up? You must have picked them upsomewhere.\"\"But this is across-examination. Have I sinned again convention? Iswear I will tell you not another word about them. They will be heredirectly, and then I will deliver them toyour tender mercy.\"\"I don't know them,\" said Faull, \"and nobody else seems to, but, ofcourse, we will all be very pleased to have them.... Shall we wait,orwhat?\"\"I said nine, and it's past that now. It's quite possible they may notturn up after all.... Anyway, don't wait.\"\"I would prefer to start at once,\" saidBackhouse.The lounge, a lofty room, forty feet long by twenty wide, had beendivided for the occasion into two equal parts by a heavy brocade curtaindrawnacross the middle. The far end was thus concealed. The nearer halfhad been converted into an auditorium by a crescent of armchairs. Therewas no otherfurniture. A large fire was burning halfway along the wall,between the chairbacks and the door. The room was brilliantly lighted byelectric bracket lamps. Asumptuous carpet covered the floor.Having settled his guests in their seats, Faull stepped up to thecurtain and flung it aside. A replica, or nearly so, of the DruryLanepresentation of the temple scene in The Magic Flute was then exposed toview: the gloomy, massive architecture of the interior, the glowing skyabove it inthe background, and, silhouetted against the latter, thegigantic seated statue of the Pharaoh. A fantastically carved woodencouch lay before the pedestal of thestatue. Near the curtain, obliquelyplaced to the auditorium, was a plain oak armchair, for the use of themedium.Many of those present felt privately that thesetting was quiteinappropriate to the occasion and savoured rather unpleasantlyof ostentation. Backhouse in particular seemed put out. The usualcompliments,however, were showered on Mrs. Trent as the deviser ofso remarkable a theatre. Faull invited his friends to step forward andexamine the apartment as minutelyas they might desire. Prior andLang were the only ones to accept. The former wandered about among thepasteboard scenery, whistling to himself andoccasionally tapping a partof it with his knuckles. Lang, who was in his element, ignored the restof his party and commenced a patient, systematic search, on hisownaccount, for secret apparatus. Faull and Mrs. Trent stood in a cornerof the temple, talking together in low tones; while Mrs. Jameson,pretending to hold"}

SOMERSET MAUGHAMIThe day broke gray and dull. The clouds hung heavily, and there was arawness in the air that suggested snow. A womanservant came into a roomin which a child was sleeping and drew the curtains. She glancedmechanically at the house opposite, a stucco house with a portico,andwent to the child's bed.\"Wake up, Philip,\" she said.She pulled down the bed-clothes, took him in her arms, and carried himdownstairs. He was only halfawake.\"Your mother wants you,\" she said.She opened the door of a room on the floor below and took the child overto a bed in which a woman was lying. It washis mother. She stretched outher arms, and the child nestled by her side. He did not ask why he hadbeen awakened. The woman kissed his eyes, and with thin,small hands feltthe warm body through his white flannel nightgown. She pressed him closerto herself.\"Are you sleepy, darling?\" she said.Her voice was so weakthat it seemed to come already from a greatdistance. The child did not answer, but smiled comfortably. He was veryhappy in the large, warm bed, with those softarms about him. He tried tomake himself smaller still as he cuddled up against his mother, and hekissed her sleepily. In a moment he closed his eyes and wasfast asleep.The doctor came forwards and stood by the bed-side.\"Oh, don't take him away yet,\" she moaned.The doctor, without answering, looked at hergravely. Knowing she wouldnot be allowed to keep the child much longer, the woman kissed him again;and she passed her hand down his body till she came tohis feet; she heldthe right foot in her hand and felt the five small toes; and then slowlypassed her hand over the left one. She gave a sob.\"What's the matter?\"said the doctor. \"You're tired.\"She shook her head, unable to speak, and the tears rolled down her cheeks.The doctor bent down.\"Let me take him.\"She was tooweak to resist his wish, and she gave the child up. The doctorhanded him back to his nurse.\"You'd better put him back in his own bed.\"\"Very well, sir.\" The littleboy, still sleeping, was taken away. Hismother sobbed now broken-heartedly.\"What will happen to him, poor child?\"The monthly nurse tried to quiet her, andpresently, from exhaustion, thecrying ceased. The doctor walked to a table on the other side of the room,upon which, under a towel, lay the body of a still-bornchild. He liftedthe towel and looked. He was hidden from the bed by a screen, but thewoman guessed what he was doing.\"Was it a girl or a boy?\" she whisperedto the nurse.\"Another boy.\"The woman did not answer. In a moment the child's nurse came back. Sheapproached the bed.\"Master Philip never woke up,\" shesaid. There was a pause. Then thedoctor felt his patient's pulse once more.\"I don't think there's anything I can do just now,\" he said. \"I'll callagain afterbreakfast.\"\"I'll show you out, sir,\" said the child's nurse.They walked downstairs in silence. In the hall the doctor stopped.\"You've sent for Mrs. Carey'sbrother-in-law, haven't you?\"\"Yes, sir.\"\"D'you know at what time he'll be here?\"\"No, sir, I'm expecting a telegram.\"\"What about the little boy? I should think he'dbe better out of the way.\"\"Miss Watkin said she'd take him, sir.\"\"Who's she?\"\"She's his godmother, sir. D'you think Mrs. Carey will get over it, sir?\"The doctorshook his head.IIIt was a week later. Philip was sitting on the floor in the drawing-roomat Miss Watkin's house in Onslow gardens. He was an only child and usedtoamusing himself. The room was filled with massive furniture, and on eachof the sofas were three big cushions. There was a cushion too in eacharm-chair. Allthese he had taken and, with the help of the gilt routchairs, light and easy to move, had made an elaborate cave in which hecould hide himself from the RedIndians who were lurking behind thecurtains. He put his ear to the floor and listened to the herd ofbuffaloes that raced across the prairie. Presently, hearing thedoor open,he held his breath so that he might not be discovered; but a violent handpulled away a chair and the cushions fell down.\"You naughty boy, Miss WatkinWILL be cross with you.\"\"Hulloa, Emma!\" he said.The nurse bent down and kissed him, then began to shake out the cushions,and put them back in theirplaces.\"Am I to come home?\" he asked.\"Yes, I've come to fetch you.\"\"You've got a new dress on.\"It was in eighteen-eighty-five, and she wore a bustle. Her gownwas ofblack velvet, with tight sleeves and sloping shoulders, and the skirt hadthree large flounces. She wore a black bonnet with velvet strings. Shehesitated. Thequestion she had expected did not come, and so she couldnot give the answer she had prepared.\"Aren't you going to ask how your mamma is?\" she said atlength.\"Oh, I forgot. How is mamma?\"Now she was ready.\"Your mamma is quite well and happy.\"\"Oh, I am glad.\"\"Your mamma's gone away. You won't ever seeher any more.\" Philip did notknow what she meant.\"Why not?\"\"Your mamma's in heaven.\"She began to cry, and Philip, though he did not quite understand,criedtoo. Emma was a tall, big-boned woman, with fair hair and large features.She came from Devonshire and, notwithstanding her many years of serviceinLondon, had never lost the breadth of her accent. Her tears increased heremotion, and she pressed the little boy to her heart. She felt vaguely thepity of thatchild deprived of the only love in the world that is quiteunselfish. It seemed dreadful that he must be handed over to strangers.But in a little while she pulledherself together.\"Your Uncle William is waiting in to see you,\" she said. \"Go and saygood-bye to Miss Watkin, and we'll go home.\"\"I don't want to say good-bye,\"he answered, instinctively anxious to hidehis tears.\"Very well, run upstairs and get your hat.\"He fetched it, and when he came down Emma was waiting for him inthe hall.He heard the sound of voices in the study behind the dining-room. Hepaused. He knew that Miss Watkin and her sister were talking to friends,and itseemed to him--he was nine years old--that if he went in they wouldbe sorry for him.\"I think I'll go and say good-bye to Miss Watkin.\"\"I think you'd better,\" saidEmma.\"Go in and tell them I'm coming,\" he said.He wished to make the most of his opportunity. Emma knocked at the doorand walked in. He heard herspeak.\"Master Philip wants to say good-bye to you, miss.\"There was a sudden hush of the conversation, and Philip limped in.Henrietta Watkin was a stout woman,with a red face and dyed hair. Inthose days to dye the hair excited comment, and Philip had heard muchgossip at home when his godmother's changed colour.She lived with anelder sister, who had resigned herself contentedly to old age. Two ladies,whom Philip did not know, were calling, and they looked at himcuriously.\"My poor child,\" said Miss Watkin, opening her arms.She began to cry. Philip understood now why she had not been in toluncheon and why she wore ablack dress. She could not speak.\"I've got to go home,\" said Philip, at last.He disengaged himself from Miss Watkin's arms, and she kissed him again.Then hewent to her sister and bade her good-bye too. One of the strangeladies asked if she might kiss him, and he gravely gave her permission.Though crying, he keenlyenjoyed the sensation he was causing; he wouldhave been glad to stay a little longer to be made much of, but felt theyexpected him to go, so he said that Emmawas waiting for him. He went outof the room. Emma had gone downstairs to speak with a friend in thebasement, and he waited for her on the landing. He heardHenriettaWatkin's voice.\"His mother was my greatest friend. I can't bear to think that she'sdead.\"\"You oughtn't to have gone to the funeral, Henrietta,\" said hersister. \"Iknew it would upset you.\"Then one of the strangers spoke.\"Poor little boy, it's dreadful to think of him quite alone in the world.I see he limps.\"\"Yes, he'sgot a club-foot. It was such a grief to his mother.\"Then Emma came back. They called a hansom, and she told the driver whereto go.IIIWhen they reached thehouse Mrs. Carey had died in--it was in a dreary,respectable street between Notting Hill Gate and High Street,Kensington--Emma led Philip into thedrawing-room. His uncle was writingletters of thanks for the wreaths which had been sent. One of them, whichhad arrived too late for the funeral, lay in itscardboard box on thehall-table.\"Here's Master Philip,\" said Emma.Mr. Carey stood up slowly and shook hands with the little boy. Then onsecond thoughts he bentdown and kissed his forehead. He was a man ofsomewhat less than average height, inclined to corpulence, with his hair,worn long, arranged over the scalp so asto conceal his baldness. He wasclean-shaven. His features were regular, and it was possible to imaginethat in his youth he had been good-looking. On hiswatch-chain he wore agold cross.\"You're going to live with me now, Philip,\" said Mr. Carey. \"Shall youlike that?\"Two years before Philip had been sent down tostay at the vicarage afteran attack of chicken-pox; but there remained with him a recollection of anattic and a large garden rather than of his uncle andaunt.\"Yes.\"\"You must look upon me and your Aunt Louisa as your father and mother.\"The child's mouth trembled a little, he reddened, but did not answer.\"Yourdear mother left you in my charge.\"Mr. Carey had no great ease in expressing himself. When the news came thathis sister-in-law was dying, he set off at once forLondon, but on the waythought of nothing but the disturbance in his life that would be caused ifher death forced him to undertake the care of her son. He waswell overfifty, and his wife, to whom he had been married for thirty years, waschildless; he did not look forward with any pleasure to the presence of asmall boywho might be noisy and rough. He had never much liked hissister-in-law.\"I'm going to take you down to Blackstable tomorrow,\" he said.\"With Emma?\"The childput his hand in hers, and she pressed it.\"I'm afraid Emma must go away,\" said Mr. Carey.\"But I want Emma to come with me.\"Philip began to cry, and the nursecould not help crying too. Mr. Careylooked at them helplessly.\"I think you'd better leave me alone with Master Philip for a moment.\"\"Very good, sir.\"Though Philipclung to her, she released herself gently. Mr. Carey tookthe boy on his knee and put his arm round him.\"You mustn't cry,\" he said. \"You're too old to have a nursenow. We mustsee about sending you to school.\"\"I want Emma to come with me,\" the child repeated.\"It costs too much money, Philip. Your father didn't leavevery much, andI don't know what's become of it. You must look at every penny you spend.\"Mr. Carey had called the day before on the family solicitor.Philip'sfather was a surgeon in good practice, and his hospital appointmentssuggested an established position; so that it was a surprise on his suddendeath from"}

THIS HAS BEEN CHANGED     TO PREFORMATTED TEXT FOR THIS SOFT COPY.Thoughmentioned often in the script, the creatures in PITCH BLACK are seldom seen at length; rather, they are glimpsed, they are heard, they are felt. They are, really,the embodiment of your nocturnal fears: A howling coyote that jars you awake; the painting on the wall that comes to lifewhen stared at too long...the sway ofyour bed just before the earthquake hits. Chimera of the night. The point is made so the reader appreciatesthat the focus of the finished film will not be on whatthe creatures do, but on what the creatures do to reveal the inner nature of the characters. For PITCH BLACK is, at its heart, a story of humanity and courage --and lack of the same.                                                       David Twohy     CUT IN:     INT.

For soon as comes the springtime face of day,     And procreant gales blow from the West unbarred,     First fowlsof air, smit to the heart by thee,     Foretoken thy approach, O thou Divine,     And leap the wild herds round the happy fields     Or swim the bounding torrents.Thus amain,     Seized with the spell, all creatures follow thee     Whithersoever thou walkest forth to lead,     And thence through seas and mountains and swiftstreams,     Through leafy homes of birds and greening plains,     Kindling the lure of love in every breast,     Thou bringest the eternal generations forth,     Kindafter kind. And since 'tis thou alone     Guidest the Cosmos, and without thee naught     Is risen to reach the shining shores of light,     Nor aught of joyful or oflovely born,     Thee do I crave co-partner in that verse     Which I presume on Nature to compose     For Memmius mine, whom thou hast willed to be     Peerlessin every grace at every hour--     Wherefore indeed, Divine one, give my words     Immortal charm. Lull to a timely rest     O'er sea and land the savage works ofwar,     For thou alone hast power with public peace     To aid mortality; since he who rules     The savage works of battle, puissant Mars,     How often to thybosom flings his strength     O'ermastered by the eternal wound of love--     And there, with eyes and full throat backward thrown,     Gazing, my Goddess,open-mouthed at thee,     Pastures on love his greedy sight, his breath     Hanging upon thy lips. Him thus reclined     Fill with thy holy body, round,above!     Pour from those lips soft syllables to win     Peace for the Romans, glorious Lady, peace!     For in a season troublous to the state     Neither may Iattend this task of mine     With thought untroubled, nor mid such events     The illustrious scion of the Memmian house     Neglect the civiccause.                            Whilst human kind     Throughout the lands lay miserably crushed     Before all eyes beneath Religion--who     Would show her headalong the region skies,     Glowering on mortals with her hideous face--     A Greek it was who first opposing dared     Raise mortal eyes that terror towithstand,     Whom nor the fame of Gods nor lightning's stroke     Nor threatening thunder of the ominous sky     Abashed; but rather chafed to angry zest     Hisdauntless heart to be the first to rend     The crossbars at the gates of Nature old.     And thus his will and hardy wisdom won;     And forward thus he fared afar,beyond     The flaming ramparts of the world, until     He wandered the unmeasurable All.     Whence he to us, a conqueror, reports     What things can rise tobeing, what cannot,     And by what law to each its scope prescribed,     Its boundary stone that clings so deep in Time.     Wherefore Religion now is underfoot,     And us his victory now exalts to heaven.     I know how hard it is in Latian verse     To tell the dark discoveries of the Greeks,     Chiefly because ourpauper-speech must find     Strange terms to fit the strangeness of the thing;     Yet worth of thine and the expected joy     Of thy sweet friendship do persuademe on     To bear all toil and wake the clear nights through,     Seeking with what of words and what of song     I may at last most gloriously uncloud     For theethe light beyond, wherewith to view     The core of being at the centre hid.     And for the rest, summon to judgments true,     Unbusied ears and singleness ofmind     Withdrawn from cares; lest these my gifts, arranged     For thee with eager service, thou disdain     Before thou comprehendest: since for thee     I provethe supreme law of Gods and sky,     And the primordial germs of things unfold,     Whence Nature all creates, and multiplies     And fosters all, and whither sheresolves     Each in the end when each is overthrown.     This ultimate stock we have devised to name     Procreant atoms, matter, seeds of things,     Or primalbodies, as primal to the world.     I fear perhaps thou deemest that we fare     An impious road to realms of thought profane;     But 'tis that same religion oftenerfar     Hath bred the foul impieties of men:     As once at Aulis, the elected chiefs,     Foremost of heroes, Danaan counsellors,     Defiled Diana's altar, virginqueen,     With Agamemnon's daughter, foully slain.     She felt the chaplet round her maiden locks     And fillets, fluttering down on either cheek,     And at thealtar marked her grieving sire,     The priests beside him who concealed the knife,     And all the folk in tears at sight of her.     With a dumb terror and a sinkingknee     She dropped; nor might avail her now that first     'Twas she who gave the king a father's name.     They raised her up, they bore the trembling girl     Onto the altar--hither led not now     With solemn rites and hymeneal choir,     But sinless woman, sinfully foredone,     A parent felled her on her bridalday,     Making his child a sacrificial beast     To give the ships auspicious winds for Troy:     Such are the crimes to which Religion leads.     And there shall comethe time when even thou,     Forced by the soothsayer's terror-tales, shalt seek     To break from us. Ah, many a dream even now     Can they concoct to rout thyplans of life,     And trouble all thy fortunes with base fears.     I own with reason: for, if men but knew     Some fixed end to ills, they would be strong     By somedevice unconquered to withstand     Religions and the menacings of seers.     But now nor skill nor instrument is theirs,     Since men must dread eternal pains indeath.     For what the soul may be they do not know,     Whether 'tis born, or enter in at birth,     And whether, snatched by death, it die with us,     Or visit theshadows and the vasty caves     Of Orcus, or by some divine decree     Enter the brute herds, as our Ennius sang,     Who first from lovely Helicon broughtdown     A laurel wreath of bright perennial leaves,     Renowned forever among the Italian clans.     Yet Ennius too in everlasting verse     Proclaims those vaultsof Acheron to be,     Though thence, he said, nor souls nor bodies fare,     But only phantom figures, strangely wan,     And tells how once from out those regionsrose     Old Homer's ghost to him and shed salt tears     And with his words unfolded Nature's source.     Then be it ours with steady mind to clasp     The purportof the skies--the law behind     The wandering courses of the sun and moon;     To scan the powers that speed all life below;     But most to see with reasonableeyes     Of what the mind, of what the soul is made,     And what it is so terrible that breaks     On us asleep, or waking in disease,     Until we seem to mark andhear at hand     Dead men whose bones earth bosomed long ago.SUBSTANCE IS ETERNAL     This terror, then, this darkness of the mind,     Not sunrise with itsflaring spokes of light,     Nor glittering arrows of morning can disperse,     But only Nature's aspect and her law,     Which, teaching us, hath thisexordium:     Nothing from nothing ever yet was born.     Fear holds dominion over mortality     Only because, seeing in land and sky     So much the causewhereof no wise they know,     Men think Divinities are working there.     Meantime, when once we know from nothing still     Nothing can be create, we shalldivine     More clearly what we seek: those elements     From which alone all things created are,     And how accomplished by no tool of Gods.     Suppose allsprang from all things: any kind     Might take its origin from any thing,     No fixed seed required. Men from the sea     Might rise, and from the land the scalybreed,     And, fowl full fledged come bursting from the sky;     The horned cattle, the herds and all the wild     Would haunt with varying offspring tilth andwaste;     Nor would the same fruits keep their olden trees,     But each might grow from any stock or limb     By chance and change. Indeed, and were therenot     For each its procreant atoms, could things have     Each its unalterable mother old?     But, since produced from fixed seeds are all,     Each birth goes forthupon the shores of light     From its own stuff, from its own primal bodies.     And all from all cannot become, because     In each resides a secret power itsown.     Again, why see we lavished o'er the lands     At spring the rose, at summer heat the corn,     The vines that mellow when the autumn lures,     If notbecause the fixed seeds of things     At their own season must together stream,     And new creations only be revealed     When the due times arrive andpregnant earth     Safely may give unto the shores of light     Her tender progenies? But if from naught     Were their becoming, they would springabroad     Suddenly, unforeseen, in alien months,     With no primordial germs, to be preserved     From procreant unions at an adverse hour.     Nor on themingling of the living seeds     Would space be needed for the growth of things     Were life an increment of nothing: then     The tiny babe forthwith would walk aman,     And from the turf would leap a branching tree--     Wonders unheard of; for, by Nature, each     Slowly increases from its lawful seed,     And throughthat increase shall conserve its kind.     Whence take the proof that things enlarge and feed     From out their proper matter. Thus it comes     That earth, withouther seasons of fixed rains,     Could bear no produce such as makes us glad,     And whatsoever lives, if shut from food,     Prolongs its kind and guards its life nomore.     Thus easier 'tis to hold that many things     Have primal bodies in common (as we see     The single letters common to many words)     Than aughtexists without its origins.     Moreover, why should Nature not prepare     Men of a bulk to ford the seas afoot,     Or rend the mighty mountains with theirhands,     Or conquer Time with length of days, if not     Because for all begotten things abides     The changeless stuff, and what from that may spring     Is fixedforevermore? Lastly we see     How far the tilled surpass the fields untilled     And to the labour of our hands return     Their more abounding crops; there areindeed     Within the earth primordial germs of things,     Which, as the ploughshare turns the fruitful clods     And kneads the mould, we quicken into"}

Its introductionto Europe began in 1782 when a French Jesuit Father living inChina, Joseph Amiot, acquired a copy of it, and translated itintoFrench.  It was not a good translation because, according toDr. Giles, \"[I]t contains a great deal that Sun Tzu did notwrite, and very little indeed of what hedid.\"     The first translation into English was published in 1905 inTokyo by Capt. E. F. Calthrop, R.F.A.  However, this translationis, in the words of Dr. Giles,\"excessively bad.\"  He goesfurther in this criticism:  \"It is not merely a question ofdownright blunders, from which none can hope to be wholly exempt.Omissionswere frequent; hard passages were willfully distortedor slurred over.  Such offenses are less pardonable.  They wouldnot be tolerated in any edition of a Latin orGreek classic, anda similar standard of honesty ought to be insisted upon intranslations from Chinese.\"  In 1908 a new edition of Capt.Calthrop's translation waspublished in London.  It was animprovement on the first -- omissions filled up and numerousmistakes corrected -- but new errors were created in the process.Dr.Giles, in justifying his translation, wrote:  \"It was notundertaken out of any inflated estimate of my own powers; but Icould not help feeling that Sun Tzu deserveda better fate thanhad befallen him, and I knew that, at any rate, I could hardlyfail to improve on the work of my predecessors.\"     Clearly, Dr. Giles' workestablished much of the groundworkfor the work of later translators who published their owneditions.  Of the later editions of the ART OF WAR Ihaveexamined;  two feature Giles' edited translation and notes,  theother two present the same basic information from the ancientChinese commentators foundin the Giles edition.  Of these four,Giles' 1910 edition is the most scholarly and presents the readeran incredible amount of information concerning Sun Tzu'stext,much more than any other translation.     The Giles' edition of the ART OF WAR, as stated above, was ascholarly work.  Dr. Giles was a leading sinologue atthe timeand an assistant in the Department of Oriental Printed Books andManuscripts in the British Museum.  Apparently he wanted toproduce a definitive edition,superior to anything else thatexisted and perhaps something that would become a standardtranslation.  It was the best translation available for 50 years.Butapparently there was not much interest in Sun Tzu in English-speaking countries since it took the start of the SecondWorld War to renew interest in hiswork.  Several peoplepublished unsatisfactory English translations of Sun Tzu.  In1944,  Dr. Giles' translation was edited and published in theUnited States in aseries of military science books.  But itwasn't until 1963 that a good English translation (by Samuel B.Griffith and still in print) was published that was an equaltoGiles' translation.  While this translation is more lucid thanDr. Giles' translation, it lacks his copious notes that make hisso interesting.     Dr. Giles produced awork primarily intended for scholars ofthe Chinese civilization and language.  It contains the Chinesetext of Sun Tzu, the English translation, and voluminousnotesalong with numerous footnotes.  Unfortunately, some of his notesand footnotes contain Chinese characters; some are completelyChinese.  Thus,  aconversion to a Latin alphabet etext wasdifficult.  I did the conversion in complete ignorance of Chinese(except for what I learned while doing theconversion).  Thus, Ifaced the difficult task of paraphrasing it while retaining asmuch of the important text as I could.  Every paraphraserepresents a loss; thus Idid what I could to retain as much ofthe text as possible.  Because the 1910 text contains a Chineseconcordance, I was able to transliterate proper names, books,andthe like at the risk of making the text more obscure.  However,the text, on the whole, is quite satisfactory for the casualreader, a transformation madepossible by conversion to an etext.However, I come away from this task with the feeling of lossbecause I know that someone with a background in Chinese can doabetter job than I did; any such attempt would be welcomed.

His ART OF  WAR brought him to the notice of Ho Lu, [2] King ofWu.  Ho  Lu said to him:  \"I have carefully perused your 13 chapters.  May I submit your theory of managing soldiers to a slight  test?\"       Sun Tzu replied:  \"Youmay.\"       Ho Lu asked:  \"May the test be applied to women?\"       The answer was again in the affirmative, so arrangements  were made to bring 180 ladies outof the Palace.  Sun Tzu  divided them into two companies, and placed one of the King's  favorite concubines at the head of each.  He then bade them  all takespears in their hands, and addressed them thus:   \"I  presume you know the difference between front and back, right  hand and left hand?\"       The girlsreplied:  Yes.       Sun Tzu went on:  \"When I say \"Eyes front,\"  you must  look straight ahead.  When I say \"Left turn,\" you must face  towards your lefthand.  When I say \"Right turn,\"  you must  face towards your right hand.  When I say \"About turn,\"  you  must face right round towards your back.\"       Againthe girls assented.  The words of command having  been thus explained, he set up the halberds and battle-axes  in order to begin the drill.  Then, to the sound ofdrums, he  gave the order \"Right turn.\"  But the girls only burst out  laughing.  Sun Tzu said:  \"If words of command are not clear  and distinct, if orders are notthoroughly understood, then  the general is to blame.\"       So he started drilling them again, and this time gave  the order \"Left turn,\" whereupon the girls oncemore burst  into fits of laughter.  Sun Tzu:  \"If words of command are  not clear and distinct, if orders are not thoroughly  understood, the general is toblame.  But if his orders ARE  clear, and the soldiers nevertheless disobey, then it is the  fault of their officers.\"       So saying, he ordered the leaders of the twocompanies  to be beheaded.  Now the king of Wu was watching the scene  from the top of a raised pavilion; and when he saw that his  favorite concubines wereabout to be executed, he was greatly  alarmed and hurriedly sent down the following message:   \"We  are now quite satisfied as to our general's ability tohandle  troops.  If We are bereft of these two concubines, our meat  and drink will lose their savor.  It is our wish that they  shall not be beheaded.\"       Sun Tzureplied:  \"Having once received His Majesty's  commission to be the general of his forces, there are certain  commands of His Majesty which, acting in thatcapacity, I am  unable to accept.\"       Accordingly,  he had the two leaders beheaded,  and  straightway installed the pair next in order as leaders in  theirplace.  When this had been done, the drum was sounded  for the drill once more; and the girls went through all the  evolutions, turning to the right or to the left,marching  ahead or wheeling back, kneeling or standing, with perfect  accuracy and precision, not venturing to utter a sound.  Then  Sun Tzu sent a messenger tothe King saying:  \"Your soldiers,  Sire, are now properly drilled and disciplined, and ready for  your majesty's inspection.  They can be put to any use that  theirsovereign may desire; bid them go through fire and  water, and they will not disobey.\"       But the King replied:  \"Let our general cease drilling  and return tocamp.  As for us, We have no wish to come down  and inspect the troops.\"       Thereupon Sun Tzu said:  \"The King is only fond of  words, and cannot translatethem into deeds.\"       After that, Ho Lu saw that Sun Tzu was one who knew how  to handle an army, and finally appointed him general.  In the  west, hedefeated the Ch`u State and forced his way into  Ying, the capital; to the north he put fear into the States  of Ch`i and Chin, and spread his fame abroadamongst the  feudal princes.  And Sun Tzu shared in the might of the King.     About Sun Tzu himself this is all that Ssu-ma Ch`ien has totell us in thischapter.  But he proceeds to give a biography ofhis descendant,  Sun Pin, born about a hundred years after hisfamous ancestor's death, and also the outstandingmilitary geniusof his time.  The historian speaks of him too as Sun Tzu, and inhis preface we read:  \"Sun Tzu had his feet cut off and yetcontinued to discuss theart of war.\" [3]  It seems likely, then,that  \"Pin\" was a nickname bestowed on him after his mutilation,unless the story was invented in order to account for thename.The crowning incident of his career, the crushing defeat of histreacherous rival P`ang Chuan, will be found briefly related inChapter V. ss. 19, note.     Toreturn to the elder Sun Tzu.  He is mentioned in twoother passages of the SHIH CHI: --       In the third year of his reign [512 B.C.] Ho Lu, king of  Wu, took thefield with Tzu-hsu [i.e. Wu Yuan] and Po P`ei,  and attacked Ch`u.  He captured the town of Shu and slew the  two prince's sons who had formerly been generalsof Wu.  He  was then meditating a descent on Ying [the capital]; but the  general Sun Wu said:  \"The army is exhausted.  It is not yet  possible.  We mustwait\"....  [After further successful  fighting,]  \"in the ninth year  [506 B.C.],  King Ho Lu  addressed Wu Tzu-hsu and Sun Wu, saying:   \"Formerly, you  declaredthat it was not yet possible for us to enter Ying.  Is the time ripe now?\"  The two men replied:  \"Ch`u's general  Tzu-ch`ang, [4] is grasping and covetous, and"}

It was a fine piece of churchembroidery, which, seeing that it had been designed for her by no less aperson than young Mr. Burne Jones himself, made herthe envy of herpre-Raphaelite friends.\"Yes, indeed. You made out there was a train about twelve.\"\"Certainly. They can't have taken more than an hour tospeechify afterthe declaration of the poll. And I know William meant to catch thattrain if he possibly could.\"\"And take his seat this evening?\"Lady Tranmorenodded. She moved restlessly about the room, fidgetingwith a book here and there, and evidently full of thoughts. Mary Lysterwatched her a little longer, thenquietly took up her work again. Herair of well-bred sympathy, the measured ease of her movements,contrasted with Lady Tranmore's impatience. Yet in truth shewaslistening no less sharply than her companion to the sounds in thestreet outside.Lady Tranmore made her way to the window, and stood there looking outonthe park. It was the week before Easter, and the plane-trees were notyet in leaf. But a few thorns inside the park railings were alreadylavishly green and therewas a glitter of spring flowers beside the parkwalks, not showing, however, in such glorious abundance as became thefashion a few years later. It was a mildafternoon and the drive wasfull of carriages. From the bow-window of the old irregular house inwhich she stood, Lady Tranmore could watch the throng passingandrepassing, could see also the traffic in Park Lane on either side.London, from this point of sight, wore a cheerful, friendly air. The dimsunshine, thewhite-clouded sky, the touches of reviving green andflowers, the soft air blowing in from a farther window which was open,brought with them impressions ofspring, of promise, and rebirth, whichinsensibly affected Lady Tranmore.\"Well, I wonder what William will do, this time, in Parliament!\" shesaid, as she droppedagain into her seat by the fire and began to cutthe pages of a new book.\"He is sure to do extremely well,\" said Miss Lyster.Lady Tranmore shrugged hershoulders. \"My dear--do you know that Williamhas been for eight years--since he left Trinity--one of the idlest youngmen alive?\"\"He had onebrief!\"\"Yes--somewhere in the country, where all the juniors get one in turn,\"said Lady Tranmore. \"That was the year he was so keen and went oncircuit, andnever missed a sessions. Next year nothing would inducehim to stir out of town. What has he done with himself all these eightyears? I can't imagine.\"\"He hasgrown--uncommonly handsome,\" said Mary Lyster, with a momentaryhesitation as she threaded her needle afresh.\"I never remember him anything else,\" saidLady Tranmore. \"All theartists who came here and to Narroways wanted to paint him. I used tothink it would make him a spoiled little ape. But nothing spoiledhim.\"Miss Lyster smiled. \"You know, Cousin Elizabeth--and you may as wellconfess it at once!--that you think him the ablest, handsomest, andcharmingest ofmen!\"\"Of course I do,\" said Lady Tranmore, calmly. \"I am certain,moreover--now--that he will be Prime Minister. And as for idleness,that, of course, is only a_façon de parler_. He has worked hard enoughat the things which please him.\"\"There--you see!\" said Mary Lyster, laughing.\"Not politics, anyway,\" said theelder lady, reflectively. \"He wentinto the House to please me, because I was a fool and wanted to seehim there. But I must say when his constituents turned himout lastyear I thought they would have been a mean-spirited set if theyhadn't. They knew very well he'd never done a stroke forthem.Attendances--divisions--perfectly scandalous!\"\"Well, here he is, in triumphantly for somewhere else--with all sorts ofdelightful prospects!\"Lady Tranmoresighed. Her white fingers paused in their task.\"That, of course, is because--now--he's a personage. Everything'll bemade easy for him now. My dear Mary, theytalk of England's being ademocracy!\"The speaker raised her handsome shoulders; then, as though to shake offthoughts of loss and grief which had suddenlyassailed her, she abruptlychanged the subject.\"Well--work or no work--the first thing we've got to do is to marryhim.\"She looked up sharply. But not the smallesttremor could she detect inMary Lyster's gently moving hand. There was, however, no reply to herremark.\"Don't you agree, Polly?\" said Lady Tranmore,smiling.Her smile--which still gave great beauty to her face--was charming, buta little sly, as she observed her companion.\"Why, of course,\" said Miss Lyster,inclining her head to one side thatshe might judge the effect of some green shades she had just put in.\"But that surely will be made easy for him, too.\"\"Well, afterall, the girls can't propose! And I never saw him take anyinterest in a girl yet--outside his own family, of course,\" added LadyTranmore, hastily.\"No--he doescertainly devote himself to the married women,\" repliedMiss Lyster, in the half-absent tone of one more truly interested in herembroidery than in theconversation.\"He would sooner have an hour with Madame d'Estrées than a week with theprettiest miss in London. That's quite true, but I vow it's the girls'ownfault! They should stand on their dignity--snub the creaturesmore! In my young days--\"[Illustration: LADY TRANMORE AND MARY LYSTER]\"Ah, there wasn't a glutof us then,\" said Mary, calmly. \"Listen!\"--sheheld up her hand.\"Yes,\" said Lady Tranmore, springing up. \"There he is.\"She stood waiting. The door flew open, andin came a tall young man.\"William, how late you are!\" said Lady Tranmore, as she flew into hisarms.\"Well, mother, are you pleased?\"Her son held her atarm's-length, smiling kindly upon her.\"Of course I am,\" said Lady Tranmore. \"And you--are you horribly tired?\"\"Not a bit. Ah, Mary!--how do you do?\"Miss Lysterhad risen, and the cousins shook hands.\"But I don't deny it's very jolly to come back--out of all that beastlyscrimmage,\" said the new member, as he threwhimself into an arm-chairby the fire with his hands behind his head, while Lady Tranmore preparedhim a cup of tea.\"I expect you've enjoyed it,\" said Miss Lyster,also moving towards thefire.\"Well, when you're in it there's a certain excitement in wondering howyou're going to come out of it! But one might say that, ofcourse, ofthe infernal regions.\"\"Not quite,\" said Mary Lyster, smiling demurely.\"Polly! you _are_ a Tory. Everybody else's hell has moved--but yours!Thank you,mother,\" as Lady Tranmore gave him tea. Then, stretching outhis great frame in lazy satisfaction, he turned his brown eyes from onelady to the other. \"I say,mother, I haven't seen anything asgood-looking as you--or Polly there, if she'll forgive me--for weeks.\"\"Hold your tongue, goose,\" said his mother, as shereplenished theteapot. \"What--there were no pretty girls--not one?\"\"Well, they didn't come my way,\" said William, contentedly munching atbread-and-butter. \"Ihave gone through all the usual humbug--andperjured my soul in all the usual ways--without any consolation worthspeaking of.\"\"Don't talk nonsense, sir,\" saidLady Tranmore. \"You know you likespeaking--and you like compliments--and you've had plenty of both.\"\"You didn't read me, mother!\"\"Didn't I?\" she said,smiling. He groaned, and took another piece oftea-cake.\"My own family at least, don't you think, might omit that?\"\"H'm, sir--So you didn't believe a word of yourown speeches?\" said LadyTranmore, as she stood behind him and smoothed his hair back from hisforehead.\"Well, who does?\" He looked up gayly and kissed thetips of her fingers.\"And it's in that spirit you're going back into the House?\" Mary Lysterthrew him the question--with a slight pinching of the lips--as sheresumedher work.\"Spirit? What do you mean, Polly? One plays the game, of course--and ithas its moments--its hot corners, so to speak--or I suppose no one wouldplayit!\"\"And the goal?\" She lifted a gently disapproving face, in a movementwhich showed anew the large comeliness of head and neck.\"Why--to keep the otherfellows out, of course!\" He lifted an arm anddrew his mother down to sit on the edge of his chair.\"William, you're not to talk like that,\" said Lady Tranmore,decidedly,laying her cheek, however, against his hand the while. \"It was all verywell when you were quite a free-lance--but now--Oh! never mindMary--she'sdiscreet--and she knows all about it.\"\"What--that they're thinking of giving me Hickson's place? Parham hasjust written to me--I found the letter down-stairs--toask me to go andsee him.\"\"Oh! it's come?\" said Lady Tranmore, with a start of pleasure. LordParham was the Prime Minister. \"Now don't be a humbug, William,andpretend you're not pleased. But you'll have to work, mind!\" She held upan admonishing finger. \"You'll have to answer letters, mind!--you'llhave to keepappointments, mind!\"\"Shall I?... Ah!--Hudson--\"He turned. The butler was in the room.\"His lordship, my lady, would like to see Mr. William before dinner ifhecould make it convenient.\"\"Certainly, Hudson, certainly,\" said the young man. \"Tell his lordshipI'll be with him in ten minutes.\"Then, as the butlerdeparted--\"How's father, mother?\"\"Oh! much as usual,\" said Lady Tranmore, sadly.\"And you?\"He laid his arm boyishly round her waist, and looked up at her,hishandsome face all affection and life.

Adams (fsadams@magma.cs)THE EFFICIENCY EXPERTCHAPTER I.JIMMY TORRANCE, JR.The gymnasium was packed as JimmyTorrance stepped into the ring for thefinal event of the evening that was to decide the boxing championship ofthe university. Drawing to a close were the nearlyfour years of hiscollege career--profitable years, Jimmy considered them, and certainlysuccessful up to this point. In the beginning of his senior year hehadcaptained the varsity eleven, and in the coming spring he would againsally forth upon the diamond as the star initial sacker of collegedom.His footballtriumphs were in the past, his continued baseball successesa foregone conclusion--if he won to-night his cup of happiness, and anunassailably dominant positionamong his fellows, would be assured,leaving nothing more, in so far as Jimmy reasoned, to be desired fromfour years attendance at one of America's oldest andmost famousuniversities.The youth who would dispute the right to championship honors with Jimmywas a dark horse to the extent that he was a freshman, and,therefore,practically unknown. He had worked hard, however, and given a goodaccount of himself in his preparations for the battle, and there wererumors, asthere always are about every campus, of marvelous exploitsprior to his college days. It was even darkly hinted that he was aprofessional pugilist. As a matter offact, he was the best exponent ofthe manly art of self-defense that Jimmy Torrance had ever faced, and inaddition thereto he outweighed the senior andoutreached him.The boxing contest, as the faculty members of the athletic committeepreferred to call it, was, from the tap of the gong, as pretty atwo-fistedscrap as ever any aggregation of low-browed fight fanswitnessed. The details of this gory contest, while interesting, have noparticular bearing upon thedevelopment of this tale. What interests usis the outcome, which occurred in the middle of a very bloody fourthround, in which Jimmy Torrance scored a cleanknock-out.It was a battered but happy Jimmy who sat in his room the followingMonday afternoon, striving to concentrate his mind upon a collegetext-book whichshould, by all the laws of fiction, have been 'wellthumbed,' but in reality, possessed unruffled freshness which belied itsreal age.\"I wish,\" mused Jimmy, \"that Icould have got to the bird who inventedmathematics before he inflicted all this unnecessary anguish upon analready unhappy world. In about three rounds I couldhave savedthousands from the sorrow which I feel every time I open this bloomingbook.\"He was still deeply engrossed in the futile attempt of accomplishing inanhour that for which the college curriculum set aside several monthswhen there came sounds of approaching footsteps rapidly ascending thestairway. His door wasunceremoniously thrown open, and there appearedone of those strange apparitions which is the envy and despair of thesmall-town youth--a naturallygood-looking young fellow, the sartorialarts of whose tailor had elevated his waist-line to his arm-pits,dragged down his shoulders, and caved in his front until hehad theappearance of being badly dished from chin to knees. His trousersappeared to have been made for a man with legs six inches longer thanhis, while his hatwas evidently several sizes too large, since it wouldhave entirely extinguished his face had it not been supported by hisears.\"Hello, Kid!\" cried Jimmy.  \"What'snew?\"\"Whiskers wants you,\" replied the other.  \"Faculty meeting. They justgot through with me.\"\"Hell!\" muttered Jimmy feelingly.  \"I don't know what Whiskerswantswith me, but he never wants to see anybody about anything pleasant.\"\"I am here,\" agreed the other, \"to announce to the universe that you areright,Jimmy. He didn't have anything pleasant to say to me. In fact, heinsinuated that dear old alma mater might be able to wiggle alongwithout me if I didn't abjuremy criminal life. Made some nastycomparison between my academic achievements and foxtrotting. I wonder,Jimmy, how they get that way?\"\"That's why they areprofs,\" explained Jimmy.  \"There are two kinds ofpeople in this world--human beings and profs. When does he want me?\"\"Now.\"Jimmy arose and put on his hatand coat.  \"Good-by, Kid,\" he said.\"Pray for me, and leave me one cigarette to smoke when I get back,\"and, grinning, he left the room.James Torrance, Jr., wasnot greatly abashed as he faced the dourtribunal of the faculty. The younger members, among whom were several heknew to be mighty good fellows at heart, satat the lower end of thelong table, and with owlish gravity attempted to emulate the appearanceand manners of their seniors. At the head of the table satWhiskers, asthe dignified and venerable president of the university was popularlynamed. It was generally believed and solemnly sworn to throughout thelargecorps of undergraduates that within the knowledge of any livingman Whiskers had never been known to smile, and to-day he was runningtrue to form.\"Mr.Torrance,\" he said, sighing, \"it has been my painful duty on morethan one occasion to call your attention to the uniformly low average ofyour academic standing.At the earnest solicitation of the facultymembers of the athletic committee, I have been influenced, against mybetter judgment, to temporize with an utterlyinsufferable condition.\"You are rapidly approaching the close of your senior year, and in thelight of the records which I have before me I am constrained tobelievethat it will be utterly impossible for you to graduate, unless from nowto the end of the semester you devote yourself exclusively to youracademic work. Ifyou cannot assure me that you will do this, I believeit would be to the best interests of the university for you to resignnow, rather than to fail of graduation. Andin this decision I am fullyseconded by the faculty members of the athletic committee, who realizethe harmful effect upon university athletics in the future weresoprominent an athlete as you to fail at graduation.\"If they had sentenced Jimmy to be shot at sunrise the blow couldscarcely have been more stunning than thatwhich followed therealization that he was not to be permitted to round out his fourthsuccessful season at first base. But if Jimmy was momentarily stunnedhegave no outward indication of the fact, and in the brief interval ofsilence following the president's ultimatum his alert mind functionedwith the rapidity which ithad often shown upon the gridiron, thediamond, and the squared circle.Just for a moment the thought of being deprived of the pleasure andexcitement of thecoming baseball season filled his mind to theexclusion of every other consideration, but presently a less selfishimpulse projected upon the screen of recollectionthe figure of thefather he idolized. The boy realized the disappointment that this manwould feel should his four years of college end thus disastrously andwithoutthe coveted diploma.And then it was that he raised his eyes to those of the president.\"I hope, sir,\" he said, \"that you will give me one more chance--that youwilllet me go on as I have in the past as far as baseball is concerned,with the understanding that if at the end of each month between now andcommencement I donot show satisfactory improvement I shall not bepermitted to play on the team. But please don't make that restrictionbinding yet. If I lay off the track work Ibelieve I can make up enoughso that baseball will not interfere with my graduation.\"And so Whiskers, who was much more human than the student body gavehimcredit for being, and was, in the bargain, a good judge of boys, gaveJimmy another chance on his own terms, and the university's heavyweightchampionreturned to his room filled with determination to make good atthe eleventh hour.Possibly one of the greatest obstacles which lay in Jimmy's path towardacademichonors was the fact that he possessed those qualities ofcharacter which attracted others to him, with the result that there wasseldom an hour during the day thathe had his room to himself. On hisreturn from the faculty meeting he found a half-dozen of his classmatesthere, awaiting his return.\"Well?\" they inquired as heentered.\"It's worse than that,\" said Jimmy, as he unfolded the harrowing detailsof what had transpired at his meeting with the faculty. \"And now,\" hesaid, \"if youbirds love me, keep out of here from now untilcommencement. There isn't a guy on earth can concentrate on anythingwith a roomful of you mental ciphers sittingaround and yapping aboutgirls and other non-essential creations.\"\"Non-essential!\" gasped one of his visitors, letting his eyes wanderover the walls of Jimmy'sstudy, whereon were nailed, pinned or hungcountless framed and unframed pictures of non-essential creations.\"All right, Jimmy,\" said another.  \"We are withyou, horse, foot andartillery. When you want us, give us the high-sign and we will come.Otherwise we will leave you to your beloved books. It is too bad,though,as the bar-boy was just explaining how the great drought mightbe circumvented by means of carrots, potato peelings, dish-water, and araisin.\"\"Go on,\" saidJimmy; \"I am not interested,\" and the boys left him to his\"beloved\" books.Jimmy Torrance worked hard, and by dint of long hours and hard-workingtutors hefinished his college course and won his diploma. Nor did hehave to forego the crowning honors of his last baseball season,although, like Ulysses S. Grant, hewould have graduated at the head ofhis class had the list been turned upside down.CHAPTER II.JIMMY WILL ACCEPT A POSITION.Following his graduation hewent to New York to visit with one of hisclassmates for a short time before returning home. He was a veryself-satisfied Jimmy, nor who can wonder, since almostfrom hismatriculation there had been constantly dinned into his ears theplaudits of his fellow students. Jimmy Torrance had been the one bigoutstanding featureof each succeeding class from his freshman to hissenior year, and as a junior and senior he had been the acknowledgedleader of the student body and as populara man as the university hadever known.To his fellows, as well as to himself, he had been a great success--thesuccess of the university--and he and they saw inthe future onlycontinued success in whatever vocation he decided to honor with hispresence. It was in a mental attitude that had become almost habitualwithhim, and which was superinduced by these influences, that Jimmyapproached the new life that was opening before him. For a while hewould play, but in the fall itwas his firm intention to settle down tosome serious occupation, and it was in this attitude that he opened aletter from his father--the first that he had receivedsince hisgraduation.The letter was written on the letterhead of the Beatrice Corn Mills,Incorporated, Beatrice, Nebraska, and in the upper left-hand corner, insmall"}

This water-logged world combinedall the most unattractive features of a steam bath and one could onlydream of coolness, greenness--more landthan a stingy string of islands.The young man on the promontory above the crash of the waves wore thewinged cap of a spaceman with the insignia of acargo-master and notmuch else, save a pair of very short shorts.

One_could_ swim--if he wanted to lose most of his skin. There were minuteorganismsin that liquid that smacked their lips--if they hadlips--every time they thought of a Terran.Dane Thorson licked his own lips, tasting salt, and plodded backthroughthe sand of the spaceport to the berth of the _Solar Queen_.

Captain Jellico had long ago taken refuge in his cabinto preserve the remnants of his temper. Dane hadbeen allowed no suchescape.The _Queen_ had a schedule for refitting to serve as a mail ship, andthat time allowance did not allow for humidity playing the devilwiththe innards of robot fitters. She _had_ to be ready to lift when theCombine ship now plying that run set down and formally signed off in herfavor. Luckily,most of the work was done and Dane had given a lastsearching inspection before signing the rigger's book and reporting tohis captain.The air-conditioned interiorof the _Queen_ comforted him as he climbedto his quarters. Ship air was flat, chemically pure but unappetizingstuff. Today it was a relief to breathe. Dane wenton to the bather. Atleast there was no lack of water--with the local skinners filtered out.It was chill but relaxing on his gaunt young body.He was sealing on hislightest tunic when the ramp buzzer sounded. Avisitor--oh, not the supervisor-rigger again! Dane went to answer withdragging feet. For the crew of the _Queen_at the moment numberedexactly four, with himself for general errand boy. Captain Jellico wasin his quarters two levels above, Medic Tau was presumablyoverhaulinghis supplies, and Sindbad, ship's cat, asleep in some empty cabin.Dane jerked his tunic into place, very much on his guard as he came tothe head ofthe ramp. But it was not the supervisor-rigger. Dane,thoroughly used to unusual-appearing strangers, both human and alien,was impressed by this visitor.He wastall, this quiet man, his great height accented by a fitleanness, a narrowness of waist and hip, a length of leg and arm. Hismain article of clothing was theuniversal shorts of the Xecho settler.But, being fashioned of saffron yellow, they were the more brilliantbecause of his darkness of skin. For he was not the warmbrown of theTerran Negroes Dane had served beside, though he shared their generalfeatures. His flesh was really black, black with an almost bluishsheen.Instead of shirt or tunic, his deep chest was crossed by two widestraps, the big medallion marking their intersection giving forthflashes of gem fire when hebreathed. He wore at his belt not thestandard stun gun of a spaceman, but a weapon which resembled the moredeadly Patrol blaster, as well as a long knifehoused in a jeweled andfringed sheath. To the eye he was an example of barbaric force tamedand trimmed to civilized efficiency.He saluted, palm out, and spokeGalactic Basic with only a suggestion ofaccent.\"I am Kort Asaki. I believe Captain Jellico expects me.\"\"Yes, sir!\" Dane snapped to attention. So this was the ChiefRanger fromfabulous Khatka, Xecho's sister planet.The other ascended the cat ladder easily, missing no detail of theship's interior as he passed. His expressionwas still one of politeinterest as his guide rapped on the panel door of Jellico's cabin. And ahorrible screech from Queex, the captain's pet hoobat, drowned outanyimmediate answer. Then followed that automatic thump on the floor of theblue-feathered, crab-parrot-toad's cage, announcing that its master wasinresidence.Since the captain's cordial welcome extended only to his guest, Daneregretfully descended to the mess cabin to make unskilled preparationsforsupper--though there was not much you could do to foul upconcentrates in an automatic cooker.\"Company?\" Tau sat beyond the cooking unit nursing a mug ofTerrancoffee. \"And do you _have_ to serve music with the meals, especiallythat particular selection?\"Dane flushed, stopped whistling in mid-note. \"Terra Bound\"_was_ oldand pretty well worn out; he didn't know why he always unconsciouslysounded off with that.\"A Chief Ranger from Khatka just came on board,\" hereported, carefullyoffhand, as he busied himself reading labels. He knew better than toserve fish or any of its derivatives in disguise again.\"Khatka!\" Tau sat upstraighter. \"Now there's a planet worth visiting.\"\"Not on a Free Trader's pay,\" commented Dane.\"You can always hope to make a big strike, boy. But what Iwouldn't giveto lift ship for there!\"\"Why? You're no hunter. How come you want to heat jets for that port?\"\"Oh, I don't care about the game preserves, thoughthey're worth seeing,too. It's the people themselves--\"\"But they're Terran settlers, or at least from Terran stock, aren'tthey?\"\"Sure,\" Tau sipped his coffee slowly.\"But there are settlers andsettlers, son. And a lot depends upon when they left Terra and why, andwho they were--also what happened to them after they landedout here.\"\"And Khatkans are really special?\"\"Well, they have an amazing history. The colony was founded by escapedprisoners--and just one racial stock. Theytook off from Earth close tothe end of the Second Atomic War. That was a race war, remember? Whichmade it doubly ugly.\" Tau's mouth twisted in disgust. \"As ifthe colorof a man's skin makes any difference in what lies under it! One side inthat line-up tried to take over Africa--herded most of the natives intoa giantconcentration camp and practiced genocide on a grand scale. Thenthey were cracked themselves, hard and heavy. During the confusion somesurvivors in thecamp staged a revolt, helped by the enemy. Theycaptured an experimental station hidden in the center of the camp andmade a break into space in two shipswhich had been built there. Thatvoyage must have been a nightmare, but they were desperate. Somehow theymade it out here to the rim and set down onKhatka without power enoughto take off again--and by then most of them were dead.\"But we humans, no matter what our race, are a tough breed. Therefugeesdiscovered that climatically their new world was not too different fromAfrica, a lucky chance which might happen only once in a thousand times.So theythrived, the handful who survived. But the white techniciansthey had kidnaped to run the ships didn't. For they set up a color barin reverse. The lighter your skin,the lower you were in the socialscale. By that kind of selective breeding the present Khatkans are verydark indeed.\"They reverted to the primitive for survival.Then, about two hundredyears ago, long before the first Survey Scout discovered them, somethinghappened. Either the parent race mutated, or, as sometimesoccurs, aline of people of superior gifts emerged--not in a few isolated births,but with surprising regularity in five family clans. There was a shortperiod of powerstruggle until they realized the foolishness of civilwar and formed an oligarchy, heading a loose tribal organization. Withthe Five Families to push and lead, a newcivilization developed, andwhen Survey came to call they were no longer savages. Combine bought thetrade rights about seventy-five years ago. Then theCompany and the FiveFamilies got together and marketed a luxury item to the galaxy. You knowhow every super-jet big shot on twenty-five planets wants to sayhe'shunted on Khatka. And if he can point out a graz head on his wall, orwear a tail bracelet, he's able to strut with the best. To holiday onKhatka is both fabulousand fashionable--and very, very profitable forthe natives and for Combine who sells transportation to the travelers.\"\"I hear they have poachers, too,\" Daneremarked.\"Yes, that naturally follows. You know what a glam skin brings on themarket. Wherever you have a rigidly controlled export you're going tohavepoachers and smugglers. But the Patrol doesn't go to Khatka. Thenatives handle their own criminals. Personally, I'd cheerfully take aninety-nine-year sentence in"}

THE OLDPITCHER AT THE WELL AGAIN,        465THE MAID OF SKER.CHAPTER I.FISHERMAN DAVY A FISH OUT OF WATER.I am but an ancient fisherman upon the coast ofGlamorganshire, withwork enough of my own to do, and trouble enough of my own to heed, ingetting my poor living. Yet no peace there is for me among myfriendsand neighbours, unless I will set to and try--as they bid me twice a-dayperhaps--whether I cannot tell the rights of a curious adventure whichit pleasedProvidence should happen, off and on, amidst us, now for agood many years, and with many ins and outs to it. They assure me, also,that all good people who canread and write for ten, or it may betwenty, miles around the place I live in, will buy my book--if I canmake it--at a higher price, perhaps, per lb., than they wouldgive meeven for sewin, which are the very best fish I catch: and henceprovision may be found for the old age and infirmities, now gaining uponme, every time Itry to go out fishing.In this encouragement and prospect I have little faith, knowing how muchmore people care about what they eat than what they read.Nevertheless Iwill hope for the best, especially as my evenings now are very long andwearisome; and I was counted a hopeful scholar, fifty years agoneperhaps,in our village school here--not to mention the Royal Navy; andmost of all, because a very wealthy gentleman, whose name will appear inthis story, has promisedto pay all expenses, and £50 down (if I do itwell), and to leave me the profit, if any.Notwithstanding this, the work of writing must be very dull to me,after allthe change of scene, and the open air and sea, and the manysprees ashore, and the noble fights with Frenchmen, and the power ofoaths that made me jump soin his Majesty's navy. God save the King, andQueen, and members of the Royal Family, be they as many as theywill--and they seem, in faith, to be manifold. ButHis power is equal toit all, if they will but try to meet Him.However, not to enter upon any view of politics--all of which are farbeyond the cleverest hand at a baitamong us--I am inditing of a thingvery plain and simple, when you come to understand it; yet containing alittle strangeness, and some wonder, here and there,and apt to movegood people's grief at the wrongs we do one another. Great part of itfell under mine own eyes, for a period of a score of years, orsomethingthereabout. My memory still is pretty good; but if I contradict myself,or seem to sweep beyond my reach, or in any way to meddle with thingswhich Ihad better have let alone, as a humble man and a Christian, Ipray you to lay the main fault thereof on the badness of the times, andthe rest upon human nature.For I have been a roving man, and may havegathered much of evil from contact with my fellow-men, although byorigin meant for good. In this I take some blameto myself; for if I hadpolished my virtue well, the evil could not have stuck to it.Nevertheless, I am, on the whole, pretty well satisfied with myself;hoping to be ofsuch quality as the Lord prefers to those perfectcreatures with whom He has no trouble at all, and therefore noenjoyment.But sometimes, taking up a book, I ampestered with a troop of doubts;not only about my want of skill, and language, and experience, butchiefly because I never have been a man of consummateinnocence,excellence, and high wisdom, such as all these writers are, if we go bytheir own opinions.Now, when I plead among my neighbours, at the mouth of theold well, allthe above, my sad shortcomings, and my own strong sense of them (whichperhaps is somewhat over-strong), they only pat me on the back, andsmileat one another, and make a sort of coughing noise, according to mybashfulness. And then if I look pleased (which for my life I cannot helpdoing), they wink, as itwere, at one another, and speak up like this:--\"Now, Davy, you know better. You think yourself at least as good as anyone of us, Davy, and likely far above us all.Therefore, Davy thefisherman, out with all you have to say, without any French palaver.You have a way of telling things so that we can see them.\"With this, andwith that, and most of all with hinting about aFrenchman, they put me on my mettle, so that I sit upon the side-stonesof the old-well gallery (which aresomething like the companion-rail ofa fore-and-after), and gather them around me, with the householders putforemost, according to their income, and thechildren listening betweentheir legs; and thus I begin, but never end, the tale I now begin toyou, and perhaps shall never end it.CHAPTER II.HUNGER DRIVESHIM A-FISHING.In the summer of the year 1782, I, David Llewellyn, of Newton-Nottage,fisherman and old sailor, was in great distress and trouble, more thanIlike to tell you. My dear wife (a faithful partner for eight-and-twentyyears, in spite of a very quick temper) was lately gone to a betterworld; and I missed hertongue and her sharp look-out at almost everycorner. Also my son (as fine a seaman as ever went aloft), after helpingLord Rodney to his great victory over Grassthe Frenchman, had been lostin a prize-ship called the Tonner, of 54 guns and 500 Crappos, whichsank with all hands on her way home to Spithead, underAdmiral Graves.His young wife (who had been sent to us to see to, with his blessing) nosooner heard of this sad affair as in the Gazette reported, and his paythatweek stopped on her, but she fell into untimely travail, and wasdead ere morning. So I buried my wife and daughter-in-law, and lost allchance to bury my son,between two Bridgend market-days.Now this is not very much, of course, compared with the troubles somepeople have. But I had not been used to this matter,except in case of amessmate; and so I was greatly broken down, and found my eyes so weak ofa morning, that I would not be seen out of doors, almost.The onlyone now to keep a stir or sound of life in my little cottage,which faces to the churchyard, was my orphan grandchild \"Bunny,\"daughter of my son just drowned,and his only child that we knew of.Bunny was a rare strong lass, five years old about then, I think; astout and hearty-feeding child, able to chew every bit of hervictuals,and mounting a fine rosy colour, and eyes as black as Archangel pitch.One day, when I was moping there, all abroad about my bearings, and nobetter"}

He isan elderly Scotchman, spiritually a littleweatherbeaten, as having tonavigate his creed in strange waters crowded with other craft but stilla convinced son of the Free Church and the North AfricanMission, witha faithful brown eye, and a peaceful soul. Physically a wiry small-knitman, well tanned, clean shaven, with delicate resolute features anda twinkle ofmild humor. He wears the sun helmet and pagri, theneutral-tinted spectacles, and the white canvas Spanish sand shoes ofthe modern Scotch missionary: butinstead of a cheap tourist's suit fromGlasgow, a grey flannel shirt with white collar, a green sailor knot tiewith a cheap pin in it, he wears a suit of clean whitelinen, acceptablein color, if not in cut, to the Moorish mind.The view from the garden includes much Atlantic Ocean and a long stretchof sandy coast to the south,swept by the north east trade wind,and scantily nourishing a few stunted pepper trees, mangy palms, andtamarisks. The prospect ends, as far as the land isconcerned, inlittle hills that come nearly to the sea: rudiments, these, of the AtlasMountains. The missionary, having had daily opportunities of looking atthisseascape for thirty years or so, pays no heed to it, being absorbedin trimming a huge red geranium bush, to English eyes unnaturallybig, which, with a dustysmilax or two, is the sole product of his petflower-bed. He is sitting to his work on a Moorish stool. In the middleof the garden there is a pleasant seat in theshade of a tamarisk tree.The house is in the south west corner of the garden, and the geraniumbush in the north east corner.At the garden-door of the housethere appears presently a man who isclearly no barbarian, being in fact a less agreeable product peculiarto modern commercial civilization. His frame and fleshare those of anill-nourished lad of seventeen; but his age is inscrutable: only theabsence of any sign of grey in his mud colored hair suggests that he isat allevents probably under forty, without prejudice to the possibilityof his being under twenty. A Londoner would recognize him at once as anextreme but hardyspecimen of the abortion produced by nature in a cityslum. His utterance, affectedly pumped and hearty, and naturally vulgarand nasal, is ready and fluent:nature, a Board School education, andsome kerbstone practice having made him a bit of an orator. His dialect,apart from its base nasal delivery, is not unlike thatof smart Londonsociety in its tendency to replace diphthongs by vowels (sometimesrather prettily) and to shuffle all the traditional vowelpronunciations. Hepronounces ow as ah, and i as aw, using the ordinaryow for o, i for a, a for u, and e for a, with this reservation, thatwhen any vowel is followed by an r hesignifies its presence, not bypronouncing the r, which he never does under these circumstances, but byprolonging and modifyinq the vowel, sometimes even tothe extreme degreeof pronouncing it properly. As to his yol for l (a compendious deliveryof the provincial eh-al), and other metropolitan refinements, amazingtoall but cockneys, they cannot be indicated, save in the above imperfectmanner, without the aid of a phonetic alphabet. He is dressed insomebody else's verysecond best as a coast-guardsman, and gives himselfthe airs of a stage tar with sufficient success to pass as a possiblefish porter of bad character in casualemployment during busy timesat Billingsgate. His manner shows an earnest disposition to ingratiatehimself with the missionary, probably for some dishonestpurpose.THE MAN. Awtenoon, Mr. Renkin.

In the distance occasional artillery light flashes are seen                and artilleryrumbles are heard.  The battered terrain shows                the effects of battle.

By referring to the historyof England of thatdate they will find that King Charles the First, against whom theCommons of England had rebelled, after a civil war of nearly five years,had beendefeated, and was confined as a prisoner at Hampton Court.  TheCavaliers, or the party who fought for King Charles, had all beendispersed, and theParliamentary army under the command of Cromwell werebeginning to control the Commons.It was in the month of November in this year that KingCharles,accompanied by Sir John Berkely Ashburnham and Legg, made his escapefrom Hampton Court, and rode as fast as the horses could carry themtowardsthat part of Hampshire which led to the New Forest.  The kingexpected that his friends had provided a vessel in which he might escapeto France; but in this hewas disappointed.  There was no vessel ready,and after riding for some time along the shore he resolved to go toTitchfield, a seat belonging to the Earl ofSouthampton.  After a longconsultation with those who attended him, he yielded to their advice,which was, to trust to Colonel Hammond, who was governor ofthe Isle ofWight for the Parliament, but who was supposed to be friendly to theking.  Whatever might be the feelings of commiseration of ColonelHammondtowards a king so unfortunately situated, he was firm in hisduties towards his employers, and the consequence was that King Charlesfound himself again aprisoner in Carisbrook Castle.But we must now leave the king, and retrace history to the commencementof the civil war.  A short distance from the town ofLymington, which isnot far from Titchfield, where the king took shelter, but on the otherside of the Southampton Water, and south of the New Forest, to whichitadjoins, was a property called Arnwood, which belonged to a Cavalier ofthe name of Beverley.  It was at that time a property of considerablevalue, being veryextensive, and the park ornamented with valuabletimber; for it abutted on the New Forest, and might have been supposedto have been a continuation of it.  ThisColonel Beverley, as we mustcall him, for he rose to that rank in the king's army, was a valuedfriend and companion of Prince Rupert's, and commanded severaltroops ofcavalry.  He was ever at his side in the brilliant charges made by thisgallant prince, and at last fell in his arms at the battle of Naseby.Colonel Beverleyhad married into the family of the Villiers, and theissue of his marriage was two sons and two daughters; but his zeal andsense of duty had induced him, at thecommencement of the war, to leavehis wife and family at Arnwood, and he was fated never to meet themagain.  The news of his death had such an effect uponMrs Beverley,already worn with anxiety on her husband's account, that a few monthsafterwards she followed him to an early tomb, leaving the four childrenunderthe charge of an elderly relative till such time as the family ofthe Villiers could protect them; but, as will appear by our history,this was not at that periodpossible.  The life of a king and many otherlives were in jeopardy, and the orphans remained at Arnwood, still underthe care of their elderly relation, at the timethat our historycommences.The New Forest, my readers are perhaps aware, was first enclosed byWilliam the Conqueror as a royal forest for his own amusement,for inthose days most crowned heads were passionately fond of the chase; andthey may also recollect that his successor, William Rufus, met his deathin thisforest by the glancing of an arrow shot by Sir Walter Tyrrell.Since that time to the present day it has continued a royal domain.  Atthe period of which we arewriting it had an establishment of verderersand keepers, paid by the Crown, amounting to some forty or fifty men.At the commencement of the civil war theyremained at their posts, butsoon found, in the disorganised state of the country, that their wageswere no longer to be obtained; and then, when the king haddecided uponraising an army, Beverley, who held a superior office in the forest,enrolled all the young and athletic men who were employed in the forest,andmarched them away with him to join the king's army.  Some fewremained, their age not rendering their services of value, and amongthem was an old andattached servant of Beverley's, a man above sixtyyears of age, whose name was Jacob Armitage, and who had obtained thesituation through Colonel Beverley'sinterest.  Those who remained inthe forest lived in cottages many miles asunder, and indemnifiedthemselves for the non-payment of their salaries by killing thedeer forsale and for their own subsistence.The cottage of Jacob Armitage was situated on the skirts of the NewForest, about a mile and a half from the mansion ofArnwood; and whenColonel Beverley went to join the king's troops, feeling how littlesecurity there would be for his wife and children in those troubledtimes, herequested the old man, by his attachment to the family, not tolose sight of Arnwood, but to call there as often as possible to see ifhe could be of service to MrsBeverley.  The colonel would havepersuaded Jacob to have altogether taken up his residence at themansion; but to this the old man objected.  He had been allhis lifeunder the greenwood tree, and could not bear to leave the forest.  Hepromised the colonel that he would watch over his family, and ever be athand whenrequired; and he kept his word.  The death of Colonel Beverleywas a heavy blow to the old forester, and he watched over Mrs Beverleyand the orphans with thegreatest solicitude; but when Mrs Beverleyfollowed her husband to the tomb he then redoubled his attentions, andwas seldom more than a few hours at a timeaway from the mansion.  Thetwo boys were his inseparable companions, and he instructed them, youngas they were, in all the secrets of his own calling.  Suchwas the stateof affairs at the time that King Charles made his escape from HamptonCourt; and I now shall resume my narrative from where it was broken off.Assoon as the escape of Charles the First was made known to Cromwelland the Parliament, troops of horse were despatched in every directionto the southward,towards which the prints of the horses' hoofs provedthat he had gone.  As they found that he had proceeded in the directionof the New Forest, the troops weresubdivided and ordered to scour theforest, in parties of twelve to twenty, while others hastened down toSouthampton, Lymington, and every other seaport or partof the coastfrom which the king might be likely to embark.  Old Jacob had been atArnwood on the day before, but on this day he had made up his mind toprocuresome venison, that he might not go there again empty-handed; forMiss Judith Villiers was very partial to venison, and was not slow toremind Jacob if the larderwas for many days deficient in that meat.Jacob had gone out accordingly; he had gained his leeward position of afine buck, and was gradually nearing him bystealth, now behind a hugeoak-tree, and then crawling through the high fern, so as to get withinshot unperceived, when on a sudden the animal, which had beenquietlyfeeding, bounded away and disappeared in the thicket.  At the same timeJacob perceived a small body of horse galloping through the glen inwhich the buckhad been feeding.  Jacob had never yet seen theParliamentary troops, for they had not during the war been sent intothat part of the country, but their ironskull-caps, their buffaccoutrements, and dark habiliments, assured him that such these mustbe; so very different were they from the gaily-equipped Cavaliercavalrycommanded by Prince Rupert.  At the time that they advanced, Jacob hadbeen lying down in the fern near to some low black-thorn-bushes; notwishing tobe perceived by them, he drew back between the bushes,intending to remain concealed until they should gallop out of sight; forJacob thought, \"I am a king'sforester, and they may consider me as anenemy; and who knows how I may be treated by them?\"  But Jacob wasdisappointed in his expectations of the troopsriding past him; on thecontrary, as soon as they arrived at an oak-tree within twenty yards ofwhere he was concealed, the order was given to halt and dismount;thesabres of the horsemen clattered in their iron sheaths as the order wasobeyed, and the old man expected to be immediately discovered; but oneof thethorn-bushes was directly between him and the troopers, andeffectually concealed him.  At last Jacob ventured to raise his head andpeep through the bush; andhe perceived that the men were loosening thegirths of their black horses, or wiping away the perspiration from theirsides with handfuls of fern.Apowerfully-framed man, who appeared to command the others, wasstanding with his hand upon the arched neck of his steed, which appearedas fresh andvigorous as ever, although covered with foam andperspiration.  \"Spare not to rub down, my men,\" said he, \"for we havetried the mettle of our horses, and havenow but one half-hour'sbreathing-time.  We must be on, for the work of the Lord must be done.\"\"They say that this forest is many miles in length andbreadth,\"observed another of the men, \"and we may ride many a mile to no purpose;but here is James Southwold, who once was living in it as a verderer;nay, Ithink that he said that he was born and bred in these woods.  Wasit not so, James Southwold?\"\"It is even as you say,\" replied an active-looking young man; \"Iwasborn and bred in this forest, and my father was a verderer before me.\"Jacob Armitage, who listened to the conversation, immediately recognisedthe young"}

TOMBSTONEAn original screenplayByKevin Jarre                                           Fourthdraft                                           March 15, 1993ROLL PROLOGUE OVER MAIN TITLE:  a collage of old photos, prints, etc., and silent live-action vignettes, alldark and heavily shadowed like a dimly-remembered dream.  The first images show the opulence of the Gilded Age, the epic vistas of the west, cattle drives andcowtowns with all their violence....                     V.O. NARRATION          \"The economic explosion following          the Civil War createdan          unprecedented nation-wide market          for beef.  Previously worthless          cattle running wild throughout          Texas were gathered intoherds           And driven north to the railheads           In Kansas.  Fortunes were made as           Cowtowns sprang up on the           Prairies, wide-open centersof          Commerce and vice, their streets          Choked with heavily-armed young          Men fresh from the cattle drives.          In those days the correctterm          For a cowhand was 'drover'.          'Cowboy', like 'cowpoke', was          originally an insult implying          deviant sexuality and wasrarely          used.  But these invading drovers          were a wild breed for soon          shootings and wholesale drunken          riots became so frequentthat          ordinary citizens literally could          not walk down the street.  In fact          at their height the cowtowns had          higher murder rates than"}

THEBRIDE-TO-BESEVENTEENIWILLIAMWilliam Sylvanus Baxter paused for a moment of thought in front of thedrug-store at the corner of Washington Street andCentral Avenue. He hadan internal question to settle before he entered the store: he wishedto allow the young man at the soda-fountain no excuse for saying,\"Well,make up your mind what it's goin' to be, can't you?\" Rudeness of thiskind, especially in the presence of girls and women, was hard to bear,and thoughWilliam Sylvanus Baxter had borne it upon occasion, hehad reached an age when he found it intolerable. Therefore, to avoidoffering opportunity for anything ofthe kind, he decided upon chocolateand strawberry, mixed, before approaching the fountain. Once there,however, and a large glass of these flavors and dilutedice-creamproving merely provocative, he said, languidly--an affectation, for hecould have disposed of half a dozen with gusto: \"Well, now I'm here, Imight as wellgo one more. Fill 'er up again. Same.\"Emerging to the street, penniless, he bent a fascinated and dramaticgaze upon his reflection in the drug-store window, andthen, as heturned his back upon the alluring image, his expression altered toone of lofty and uncondescending amusement. That was his glance at thepassingpublic. From the heights, he seemed to bestow upon the worlda mysterious derision--for William Sylvanus Baxter was seventeen longyears of age, and hadlearned to present the appearance of one whopossesses inside information about life and knows all strangers and mostacquaintances to be of inferior caste,costume, and intelligence.He lingered upon the corner awhile, not pressed for time. Indeed, hefound many hours of these summer months heavy upon his hands,for he hadno important occupation, unless some intermittent dalliance with awork on geometry (anticipatory of the distant autumn) might be thoughtimportant,which is doubtful, since he usually went to sleep on theshady side porch at his home, with the book in his hand. So, havingnothing to call him elsewhere, helounged before the drug-store in theearly afternoon sunshine, watching the passing to and fro of the lowerorders and bourgeoisie of the middle-sized midland citywhich claimedhim (so to speak) for a native son.Apparently quite unembarrassed by his presence, they went about theirbusiness, and the only people who lookedat him with any attention werepedestrians of color. It is true that when the gaze of these fell uponhim it was instantly arrested, for no colored person could havepassedhim without a little pang of pleasure and of longing. Indeed, thetropical violence of William Sylvanus Baxter's tie and the strangebrilliancy of his hat mighthave made it positively unsafe for him towalk at night through the negro quarter of the town. And though no mancould have sworn to the color of that hat,whether it was blue or green,yet its color was a saner thing than its shape, which was blurred,tortured, and raffish; it might have been the miniature model ofavolcano that had blown off its cone and misbehaved disastrously on itslower slopes as well. He had the air of wearing it as a matter of courseand with carelessease, but that was only an air--it was the apple ofhis eye.For the rest, his costume was neutral, subordinate, and even a littleneglected in the matter of a detail ortwo: one pointed flap of his softcollar was held down by a button, but the other showed a frayed threadwhere the button once had been; his low patent-leathershoes were of aluster not solicitously cherished, and there could be no doubt that heneeded to get his hair cut, while something might have been done, too,aboutthe individualized hirsute prophecies which had made independentappearances, here and there, upon his chin. He examined these from timeto time by the senseof touch, passing his hand across his face andallowing his finger-tips a slight tapping motion wherever they detecteda prophecy.Thus he fell into a pleasantmusing and seemed to forget the crowdedstreet.IITHE UNKNOWNHe was roused by the bluff greeting of an acquaintance not dissimilar tohimself in age, manner,and apparel.\"H'lo, Silly Bill!\" said this person, halting beside William SylvanusBaxter. \"What's the news?\"William showed no enthusiasm; on the contrary, a frownof annoyanceappeared upon his brow. The nickname \"Silly Bill\"--long ago compoundedby merry child-comrades from \"William\" and \"Sylvanus\"--was not tohistaste, especially in public, where he preferred to be addressed simplyand manfully as \"Baxter.\" Any direct expression of resentment, however,was difficult,since it was plain that Johnnie Watson intended nooffense whatever and but spoke out of custom.\"Don't know any,\" William replied, coldly.\"Dull times, ain't it?\"said Mr. Watson, a little depressed by hisfriend's manner. \"I heard May Parcher was comin' back to town yesterday,though.\"\"Well, let her!\" returned William, stillsevere.\"They said she was goin' to bring a girl to visit her,\" Johnnie began ina confidential tone. \"They said she was a reg'lar ringdinger and--\"\"Well, what if sheis?\" the discouraging Mr. Baxter interrupted. \"Makeslittle difference to ME, I guess!\"\"Oh no, it don't. YOU don't take any interest in girls! OH no!\"\"No, I do not!\"was the emphatic and heartless retort. \"I never saw onein my life I'd care whether she lived or died!\"\"Honest?\" asked Johnnie, struck by the conviction with whichthis speechwas uttered. \"Honest, is that so?\"\"Yes, 'honest'!\" William replied, sharply. \"They could ALL die, _I_wouldn't notice!\"Johnnie Watson was profoundlyimpressed. \"Why, _I_ didn't know you feltthat way about 'em, Silly Bill. I always thought you were kind of--\"\"Well, I do feel that way about 'em!\" said WilliamSylvanus Baxter, and,outraged by the repetition of the offensive nickname, he began to moveaway. \"You can tell 'em so for me, if you want to!\" he added overhisshoulder. And he walked haughtily up the street, leaving Mr. Watson toponder upon this case of misogyny, never until that moment suspected.It was beyondthe power of his mind to grasp the fact that WilliamSylvanus Baxter's cruel words about \"girls\" had been uttered becauseWilliam was annoyed at being called\"Silly Bill\" in a public place, andhad not known how to object otherwise than by showing contempt for anytopic of conversation proposed by the offender. Thislatter, being ofa disposition to accept statements as facts, was warmly interested,instead of being hurt, and decided that here was something worth talkingabout,especially with representatives of the class so sweepinglyexcluded from the sympathies of Silly Bill.William, meanwhile, made his way toward the \"residencesection\" of thetown, and presently--with the passage of time found himself eased of hisannoyance. He walked in his own manner, using his shoulders toemphasizean effect of carelessness which he wished to produce upon observers. Forhis consciousness of observers was abnormal, since he had it whether anyonewas looking at him or not, and it reached a crucial stage wheneverhe perceived persons of his own age, but of opposite sex, approaching.A person of thisdescription was encountered upon the sidewalk within ahundred yards of his own home, and William Sylvanus Baxter saw her whileyet she was afar off. The quietand shady thoroughfare was empty of allhuman life, at the time, save for those two; and she was upon the sameside of the street that he was; thus it becameinevitable that theyshould meet, face to face, for the first time in their lives. Hehad perceived, even in the distance, that she was unknown to him, astranger,because he knew all the girls in this part of the town whodressed as famously in the mode as that! And then, as the distancebetween them lessened, he saw thatshe was ravishingly pretty; far, farprettier, indeed, than any girl he knew. At least it seemed so, for itis, unfortunately, much easier for strangers to be beautiful.Asidefrom this advantage of mystery, the approaching vision was piquant andgraceful enough to have reminded a much older boy of a spotless whitekitten, for, inspite of a charmingly managed demureness, there wasprecisely that kind of playfulness somewhere expressed about her. Justnow it was most definite in the lookshe bent upon the light and fluffyburden which she carried nestled in the inner curve of her right arm:a tiny dog with hair like cotton and a pink ribbon round hisneck--ananimal sated with indulgence and idiotically unaware of his privilege.He was half asleep!William did not see the dog, or it is the plain, anatomicaltruththat when he saw how pretty the girl was, his heart--his physicalheart--began to do things the like of which, experienced by an elderlyperson, would havebrought the doctor in haste. In addition, hiscomplexion altered--he broke out in fiery patches. He suffered frombreathlessness and from pressure on thediaphragm.Afterward, he could not have named the color of the little parasol shecarried in her left hand, and yet, as it drew nearer and nearer, a rosyhazesuffused the neighborhood, and the whole world began to turn anexquisite pink. Beneath this gentle glow, with eyes downcast in thought,she apparently took nonote of William, even when she and William hadcome within a few yards of each other. Yet he knew that she would lookup and that their eyes must meet--a thingfor which he endeavored toprepare himself by a strange weaving motion of his neck against thefriction of his collar--for thus, instinctively, he strove toobtaingreater ease and some decent appearance of manly indifference. He feltthat his efforts were a failure; that his agitation was ruinous andmust be perceptibleat a distance of miles, not feet. And then, inthe instant of panic that befell, when her dark-lashed eyelids slowlylifted, he had a flash of inspiration.He opened his"}

Around the back of the house stands a rundown     STORAGE SHED, a cold house, a privy and a water pump. A porch     with asingle door serves as the only entrance.     Camera begins a slow move toward the house as we;     SUPER - OHIO, 1865     WE HEAR SOUNDS frominside the house - BUMPS, A CHAIR FALLING     OVER...and FEET RUNNING on wooden floor boards.                                                            CUT TO:     INT.124 BLUESTONE ROAD - DAWN.     C.U. - THE HANDS OF TWO BROTHERS HOLDING EACH OTHER AS THEY     RUN DOWN THE STAIRS..     BULGAR (13 yrs. old)and HOWARD (14 yrs. old) run down the     steps from the second floor. They are fully dressed, carrying     a small bag ofbelongings.                         HOWARD               We gonna need food. Wait here.     Bulgar reluctantly lets go of Howard's hand as the latter     runs into thekitchen. Alone, he edges towards the front     door, when suddenly;     THE DOOR SLOWLY CREAKS OPEN on it's own. Scared, he steps     away slowly.     INT.KITCHEN - DAWN.     Howard is trying to toss some food into a bag. He spots A     CAKE sitting on top the wooden table, with some pieces     already eaten. Hefinds a knife and approaches the table.     He is about to cut into the cake when he sees TWO TINY HAND     PRINTS appear on the cake's surface. Howard stopscold -     dropping the knife.     INT. FRONT ENTRANCE - DAWN.     Howard exits the kitchen and takes Bulgar's hand;                         HOWARD               Comeon!                         DENVER (OS)               Bul?     The boys look up the stairs and see their baby sister, nine     year oldDENVER.                         DENVER               Where you goin?     The brothers are brokenhearted at the sight of her. They love     their sister. But there arestronger forces here.     A MIRROR on a wall beside Howard cracks down the middle.                         HOWARD               We gotta go!     Bulgar looks up toDenver. They exchange a look of deep     affection and pained longing. He wants to take her.                         HOWARD               Bye, Denver. You takecare.                         DENVER               Bye? Bul?     Bulgar is starting to cry. He rushes up the steps and hugs     his sister. He kisses her hard then breaksaway. Denver's     outstretched hand misses his shirt and hangs mid-air.                         DENVER               No..Bul...     Bulgar flies down the steps anddisappears out of the house     holding Howard's hand once more.     Denver sits alone at the top of the stairs.  She sadly looks     up and weeps, as if to thehouse itself:                         DENVER               Now what you go and do that for?     EXT. ROAD TO THE TRAIN - DAWN.     THE VOICE OF SETHE HUMMING AMELODY carries over the images     of:     The two boys running for their lives towards the train,     holding hands all the way.  Howard is the first to reachit.     As it passes by, he throws his bag upon it and jumps in.     Bulgar races beside it as Howard reaches for him.     C.U. - HOWARD'S HAND reaching forBULGAR's...They connect.     WIDE SHOT - The boys are on the train as it leaves town.     On it's route, the train passes a ramshackle GRAVEYARD.     CAMERAMOVES SLOWLY INTO THE GRAVEYARD until it reaches A     HEADSTONE, made with flecked pink stone. Upon the headstone     is only oneword:     BELOVED.     EXT. 124 BLUESTONE RD. - CONTINUOUS.     Camera moves slowly towards the side exterior of 124, into a     Close-Up of aWOMAN looking out of a second floor bedroom     window. It is SETHE, mother of the two boys and Denver. She     hums her melody, softly, sadly, with aresigned understanding     of why her boys are running away...and a deep pain that is     too constant to notice.                                                          FADEOUT;     FADE IN:     INT. 124 - BABY SUGGS BEDROOM - LATER THAT DAY.     BABY SUGGS, grandmother and mother-in-law to Sethe, sits in     her bedfondling colored fabric of BRIGHT GREEN..It is the     only vibrant color in an otherwise drab surrounding. Suggs is     bed-ridden, exhausted to her bones - herface a mosaic of     suffering and sacrifice and tested faith.                         BABY SUGGS               Ya know what I'd love to see? I loved to               see mesome lavender. You got any               lavender? Or even pink - pink'll do.     Sethe is placing folded laundry into a dresser. She stops and     checks her pocketsfor rags or swatches...She looks around     the room..                         SETHE               No. Sorry.                         BABY SUGGS               Ah, winter in Ohio isespecially rough if               you've got an appetite for color.     Suggs goes back to contemplating her green until;                         SETHE (OS)               Ohwait...     Suggs looks up to see Sethe sticking her pink tongue out at     her. Suggs smiles.                         BABY SUGGS               Oh, that's fine. Fine.     Sethelets out a small laugh. She walks toward the window,     stretching her body. Her expression changes as she thinks of     her boys. Baby Suggs reads her like abook.                         BABY SUGGS               They'll be all right. I'm surprised they               lasted here this long.                         SETHE               I don'tknow. Maybe we should have moved.                         BABY SUGGS               What'd be the point? Not a house in the               country ain't packed to therafters with               some dead Negro's grief. We lucky our               ghost is a baby. My husband spirit come               back? Or yours? Don't talk to me!Ha..You               lucky. You got one child left, still               pullin at your skirts. Be thankful. I had               eight. Eight with six fathers. Every one               ofthem gone from me. Four taken, four               chased and all, I expect, worrying               somebody's house into evil. My first born               - alls I canremember of her now is how               she loved the burned bottom of bread. Her               little hands..I wouldn't know'em if they               slapped me. Canyou beat that? Eight               children and that's all I remember.                                        SETHE                    (returning to her work)               You rememberHalle.                         BABY SUGGS               Oh, I remember bits and pieces of all               of'em I guess..Halle, of course..I had               Halle a lifetime.Almost twenty years...               My two girls, sold and gone before I               could even a heard about it, and them               without their grown up teeth yet.My               third child, my son after Halle...I let               that straw boss have me for four months               so's I could keep that boy. Next year,he               had him traded for lumber anyway and me               pregnant with his child. I couldn't love               that child. I wouldn't. Not any ofthe               rest either. God take what He               would....and He did...                         SETHE               The boys wouldn't have left if Hallewere               here.                         BABY SUGGS               Those boys didn't even know him. You had               six whole years of marriage to myHalle               Fathered every one of your children. A               blessing. I learned hard that a man's               just a man, but a son likethat...like               Halle..now that's somebody.     Sethe's mixed feelings show all over her face. Although she     loved Halle, there is clearly somethingunresolved in her.                         SETHE               Just got a few more things to do, then               I'll start supper.     Sethe exits.     EXT. 124 BLUESTONE RD.- LATE DAY.     Denver is playing in the front yard by herself.     Sethe is pumping water into a bucket for clothes washing. A     gentle breeze carries a LEAF intothe bucket. Sethe sees it     floating atop the water for a moment, then picks it up.     C.U. of SETHE as the image triggers a feeling - and the     feeling a memory- from long ago.     Sethe looks around her and finds she is no longer standing in     the barren field of 124...but rather-     MEMORY;     EXT. SWEET HOME -LATE DAY.     A stunning vista of the plantation SWEET HOME - sun beating     down on groves and rows of gorgeous sycamores for as far as     the eye can see.Sethe's figure dwarfed by the majestic     landscape.     Sethe looks frightened. Her breathing grows shallow. She     hears something;     THE SOUND OF AWAGON'S WHEELS - rolling over a road, growing     louder, coming towards her                                                          INTERCUT;     C.U. OF A WAGON WHEELMOVING RAPIDLY ON A ROAD. CAMERA PANS     UP TO THE MAN DRIVING THE WAGON - A STERN WHITE MAN WEARING A     DISTINCTIVE HAT...     SETHETURNS away from the sycamores towards the road to see;     END OF MEMORY;     EXT. 124 BLUESTONE - LATE DAY.     A MAN driving a horse and wagon withtwo children in the     back, coming up Bluestone Road. He wears no hat.     Sethe breathes easily. She looks around her -the reality of     124's barren field hasreturned. The memory of Sweet Home's     sycamores have vanished.     Denver is playing near the road. As the wagon nears 124,     Denver looks up andsmiles. The Man whips the horse hard so     as to ride past the house faster. The children stare at     Denver and 124, with horror and curiosity.     The stares ofthe children destroy Denver's smile. She     watches them go, then turns to hide her upset and sees her     mother watching her.     Sethe looks to Denver withempathy and impotence: wanting to     ease her daughter's pain and knowing full well she cannot.     Hurt and angry, Denver runs past Sethe, towards thewoods.     EXT. WOODS - LATE DAY.     Denver runs with a purpose, knowing exactly where she is     going.     She reaches FIVE BOXWOOD BUSHES planted in aring. The tall     bushes stretch toward each other four feet off the ground,     forming a round, emerald room in the center, seven feet high,     with walls fiftyinches thick of murmuring leaves.     This is Denver's private place. She bends low and crawls     through the leaves into the center. Once there, thislonely     child wipes away her tears and tries to pull herself     together. She lays her face against the cool earth.     INT. 124 BLUESTONE RD. -NIGHT.     Denver walks to her room in her night dress. She passes the     opened door of her mother's bedroom and peeks in:     INT. SETHE'S BEDROOM -NIGHT.     Sethe kneeling by her bed, as if praying...     Beside Sethe, A WHITE DRESS KNEELS as well, with it's sleeve     around Sethe's waist. Like two friendlygrown-up women,     comforting each other in prayer.     Denver tip toes away.     INT.

XXXV.  \"THE LOVE THAT LIVES.\"PREFACEIn its original form, \"The Mystery of a Hansom Cab\" has reached thesale of 375,000 copies in this country,and some few editions in theUnited States of America. Notwithstanding this, the present publishershave the best of reasons for believing, that there arethousands ofpersons whom the book has never reached. The causes of this havedoubtless been many, but chief among them was the form of thepublication itself.It is for this section of the public chiefly thatthe present edition is issued. In placing it before my new readers, Ihave been asked by the publishers thoroughly torevise the work, and,at the same time, to set at rest the many conflicting reportsconcerning it and myself, which have been current since its initialissue. The firstof these requests I have complied with, and the manytypographic, and other errors, which disfigured the first edition,have, I think I can safely say, nowdisappeared. The second request Iam about to fulfil; but, in order to do so, I must ask my readers to goback with me to the beginning of all things, so far as thisspecialbook is concerned.The writing of the book was due more to accident than to design. I wasbent on becoming a dramatist, but, being quite unknown, I founditimpossible to induce the managers of the Melbourne Theatres to accept,or even to read a play. At length it occurred to me I might further mypurpose by writinga novel. I should at all events secure a certainamount of local attention. Up to that time I had written only one ortwo short stories, and the \"Cab\" was not only thefirst book I everpublished, but the first book I ever wrote; so to youth and lack ofexperience must be ascribed whatever was wanting in the book. I repeatthat thestory was written only to attract local attention, and no onewas more astonished than I when it passed beyond the narrow circle forwhich it had originally beenintended.My mind made up on this point, I enquired of a leading Melbournebookseller what style of book he sold most of. He replied that thedetective stories ofGaboriau had a large sale; and as, at this time, Ihad never even heard of this author, I bought all his works--eleven orthereabouts--and read them carefully. Thestyle of these storiesattracted me, and I determined to write a book of the same class;containing a mystery, a murder, and a description of low life inMelbourne.This was the origin of the \"Cab.\" The central idea i.e. themurder in a cab--came to me while driving at a late hour to St. Kilda,a suburb of Melbourne; but it tooksome time and much thought to workit out to a logical conclusion. I was two months sketching out theskeleton of the novel, but even so, when I had written it,the resultproved unsatisfactory, for I found I had not sufficiently wellconcealed the mystery upon which the whole interest of the bookdepended. In the first draftI made Frettlby the criminal, but onreading over the M.S. I found that his guilt was so obvious that Iwrote out the story for a second time, introducing thecharacter ofMoreland as a scape-goat. Mother Guttersnipe I unearthed in the slumsoff Little Bourke Street; and I gave what I am afraid was perhaps toovivid apicture of her language and personality. These I have toneddown in the present edition. Calton and the two lodging-house keeperswere actual personages whom Iknew very well, and I do not think I haveexaggerated their idiosyncracies, although many have, I believe,doubted the existence of such oddities. All the scenes inthe book,especially the slums, are described from personal observation; and Ipassed a great many nights in Little Bourke Street, gathering material.Havingcompleted the book, I tried to get it published, but every oneto whom I offered it refused even to look at the manuscript on theground that no Colonial could writeanything worth reading. They gaveno reason for this extraordinary opinion, but it was sufficient forthem, and they laughed to scorn the idea that any good couldcome outof Nazareth--i.e., the Colonies. The story thus being boycotted on allhands, I determined to publish it myself, and accordingly an editionof, I think, somefive thousand copies was brought out at my own cost.Contrary to the expectations of the publishers, and I must add to myown, the whole edition went off inthree weeks, and the public demandeda second. This also sold rapidly, and after some months, proposals weremade to me that the book should be brought out inLondon. Later on Iparted with the book to several speculators, who formed themselves intowhat they called \"The Hansom Cab Publishing Company.\" Taking thebookto London, they published it there with great success, and it had aphenomenal sale, which brought in a large sum of money. The successwas, in the firstinstance, due, in no small degree, to a very kind andgenerous criticism written by Mr. Clement Scott. I may here state thatI had nothing to do with the Company,nor did I receive any money forthe English sale of the book beyond what I sold it for; and, as amatter of fact, I did not arrive in England until a year afterthenovel was published. I have heard it declared that the plot is foundedon a real criminal case; but such a statement is utterly withoutfoundation, as the story ispure fiction from beginning to end. Severalpeople before and since my arrival in England, have assumed theauthorship of the book to themselves; and onegentleman went so far asto declare that he would shoot me if I claimed to have written it. I amglad to say that up to the present he has not carried outhisintention. Another individual had his cards printed, \"Fergus Hume.Author of 'The Mystery of a Hansom Cab,'\" and also added the price forwhich he wasprepared to write a similar book. Many of the papers putthis last piece of eccentricity down to my account.I may state in conclusion, that I belong to New Zealand,and not toAustralia, that I am a barrister, and not a retired policeman, that Iam yet two decades off fifty years of age, that Fergus Hume is my realname, and nota nom-de-plume; and finally, that far from making afortune out of the book, all I received for the English and Americanrights, previous to the issue of this RevisedEdition by my presentpublishers, was the sum of fifty pounds. With this I take my leave, andI trust that the present edition may prove as successful as didthefirst.CHAPTER I.WHAT THE ARGUS SAID.The following report appeared in the Argus newspaper of Saturday, the28th July, 18--\"Truth is said to be strangerthan fiction, and certainly theextraordinary murder which took place in Melbourne on Thursday night,or rather Friday morning, goes a long way towards verifyingthissaying. A crime has been committed by an unknown assassin, within ashort distance of the principal streets of this great city, and issurrounded by aninpenetrable mystery. Indeed, from the nature of thecrime itself, the place where it was committed, and the fact that theassassin has escaped without leaving atrace behind him, it would seemas though the case itself had been taken bodily from one of Gaboreau'snovels, and that his famous detective Lecoq alone wouldbe able tounravel it. The facts of the case are simply these:--\"On the twenty-seventh day of July, at the hour of twenty minutes totwo o'clock in the morning, ahansom cab drove up to the police stationin Grey Street, St. Kilda, and the driver made the startling statementthat his cab contained the body of a man who hehad reason to believehad been murdered. Being taken into the presence of the inspector, thecabman, who gave his name as Malcolm Royston, related thefollowingstrange story:--\"At the hour of one o'clock in the morning, he was driving down CollinsStreet East, when, as he was passing the Burke and Wills'monument, hewas hailed by a gentleman standing at the corner by the Scotch Church.He immediately drove up, and saw that the gentleman who hailed himwassupporting the deceased, who appeared to be intoxicated. Both were inevening dress, but the deceased had on no overcoat, while the otherwore a shortcovert coat of a light fawn colour, which was open. AsRoyston drove up, the gentleman in the light coat said, 'Look here,cabby, here's some fellow awfully tight,you'd better take him home!'\"Royston then asked him if the drunken man was his friend, but this theother denied, saying that he had just picked him up from thefootpath,and did not know him from Adam. At this moment the deceased turned hisface up to the light of the lamp under which both were standing, andthe otherseemed to recognise him, for he recoiled a pace, letting thedrunken man fall in a heap on the pavement, and gasping out 'You?' heturned on his heel, and walkedrapidly away down Russell Street in thedirection of Bourke Street.\"Royston was staring after him, and wondering at his strange conduct,when he was recalled tohimself by the voice of the deceased, who hadstruggled to his feet, and was holding on to the lamp-post, swaying toand fro. 'I wan' g'ome,' he said in a thickvoice, 'St. Kilda.' He thentried to get into the cab, but was too drunk to do so, and finally satdown again on the pavement. Seeing this, Royston got down, andliftinghim up, helped him into the cab with some considerable difficulty. Thedeceased fell back into the cab, and seemed to drop off to sleep; so,after closing thedoor, Royston turned to remount his driving-seat,when he found the gentleman in the light coat whom he had seen holdingup the deceased, close to his elbow."}

SMITH STREET STATION -- BROOKLYN -- NIGHT                 1    It's very late. It's quiet. Just thesounds of The City    LINDA SANTANA CRAIG, an attractive Hispanic woman in her    thirties, waits at the ELEVATED STATION for the Ftrain.    Linda looks great. She's dressed festively but tastefully.    Next to her is her eleven year old DAUGHTER, ALICIA. She is    twirling about theplatform, still jazzed from the birthday    party they attended in The City.    Alicia wears a black dress with a pink cardigan and has a pink    handbag.We notice a CHARM BRACELET with four-leaf clovers on    her right wrist.    The mother and daughter wait alone at one end of thestation    platform.    TWO TEENAGE BOYS wait at the other end. They speak soft,    SLURRED SPANISH to each other.    Linda gives the boysa glance and evaluates. She watches them    as Alicia spits a wad of gum into her mom's open hand.    The Boys approach. Linda tenses. At the lastsecond the boys    make a hard left turn and disappear down the stairwell. It's    quiet again. Linda relaxes, smiles at her daughter. The F    TRAIN is rounding thefinal bend into the station.    Their focus is on this train. It's getting closer, louder.    And so they don't see, don't hear the Boys coming back"}

THE EVENTS OF EIGHTEEN HOURS            SEQUELPREFATORY NOTEThe following story, the firstpublished by the author, was writtennineteen years ago, at a time when he was feeling his way to amethod. The principles observed in its composition are, nodoubt, tooexclusively those in which mystery, entanglement, surprise, and moralobliquity are depended on for exciting interest; but some of the scenes,and atleast one of the characters, have been deemed not unworthy of alittle longer preservation; and as they could hardly be reproduced in afragmentary form thenovel is reissued complete--the more readily thatit has for some considerable time been reprinted and widely circulatedin America. January 1889.To the foregoingnote I have only to add that, in the present edition of'Desperate Remedies,' some Wessex towns and other places that are commonto the scenes of several ofthese stories have been called for thefirst time by the names under which they appear elsewhere, for thesatisfaction of any reader who may care for consistencyin such matters.This is the only material change; for, as it happened that certaincharacteristics which provoked most discussion in my latest story werepresent inthis my first--published in 1871, when there was no Frenchname for them it has seemed best to let them stand unaltered.T.H. February 1896.I. THE EVENTS OFTHIRTY YEARS1. DECEMBER AND JANUARY, 1835-36In the long and intricately inwrought chain of circumstance whichrenders worthy of record some experiencesof Cytherea Graye, EdwardSpringrove, and others, the first event directly influencing the issuewas a Christmas visit.In the above-mentioned year, 1835, AmbroseGraye, a young architect whohad just begun the practice of his profession in the midland town ofHocbridge, to the north of Christminster, went to London tospend theChristmas holidays with a friend who lived in Bloomsbury. They hadgone up to Cambridge in the same year, and, after graduating together,Huntway,the friend, had taken orders.Graye was handsome, frank, and gentle. He had a quality of thoughtwhich, exercised on homeliness, was humour; on nature,picturesqueness;on abstractions, poetry. Being, as a rule, broadcast, it was all three.Of the wickedness of the world he was too forgetful. To discover evil ina newfriend is to most people only an additional experience: to him itwas ever a surprise.While in London he became acquainted with a retired officer in theNavy namedBradleigh, who, with his wife and their daughter, lived ina street not far from Russell Square. Though they were in no more thancomfortable circumstances, thecaptain's wife came of an ancient familywhose genealogical tree was interlaced with some of the most illustriousand well-known in the kingdom.The young lady,their daughter, seemed to Graye by far the mostbeautiful and queenly being he had ever beheld. She was about nineteenor twenty, and her name was Cytherea.In truth she was not so veryunlike country girls of that type of beauty, except in one respect.She was perfect in her manner and bearing, and they were not. Ameredistinguishing peculiarity, by catching the eye, is often read asthe pervading characteristic, and she appeared to him no less thanperfectionthroughout--transcending her rural rivals in very nature.Graye did a thing the blissfulness of which was only eclipsed by itshazardousness. He loved her at firstsight.His introductions had led him into contact with Cytherea and her parentstwo or three times on the first week of his arrival in London, andaccident and alover's contrivance brought them together as frequentlythe week following. The parents liked young Graye, and having fewfriends (for their equals in blood weretheir superiors in position), hewas received on very generous terms. His passion for Cytherea grew notonly strong, but ineffably exalted: she, without positivelyencouraginghim, tacitly assented to his schemes for being near her. Her father andmother seemed to have lost all confidence in nobility of birth, withoutmoney togive effect to its presence, and looked upon the buddingconsequence of the young people's reciprocal glances with placidity, ifnot actual favour.Graye's wholeimpassioned dream terminated in a sad and unaccountableepisode. After passing through three weeks of sweet experience, he hadarrived at the last stage--akind of moral Gaza--before plunging into anemotional desert. The second week in January had come round, and it wasnecessary for the young architect to leavetown.Throughout his acquaintanceship with the lady of his heart there hadbeen this marked peculiarity in her love: she had delighted in hispresence as asweetheart should do, yet from first to last she hadrepressed all recognition of the true nature of the thread whichdrew them together, blinding herself to itsmeaning and only naturaltendency, and appearing to dread his announcement of them. The presentseemed enough for her without cumulative hope: usually,even if love isin itself an end, it must be regarded as a beginning to be enjoyed.In spite of evasions as an obstacle, and in consequence of them as aspur, hewould put the matter off no longer. It was evening. He tookher into a little conservatory on the landing, and there among theevergreens, by the light of a few tinylamps, infinitely enhancing thefreshness and beauty of the leaves, he made the declaration of a love asfresh and beautiful as they.'My love--my darling, be mywife!'She seemed like one just awakened. 'Ah--we must part now!' she faltered,in a voice of anguish. 'I will write to you.' She loosened her hand andrushedaway.In a wild fever Graye went home and watched for the next morning. Whoshall express his misery and wonder when a note containing these wordswas putinto his hand?'Good-bye; good-bye for ever. As recognized lovers something divides useternally. Forgive me--I should have told you before; but your lovewassweet! Never mention me.'That very day, and as it seemed, to put an end to a painful condition ofthings, daughter and parents left London to pay off apromised visit toa relative in a western county. No message or letter of entreaty couldwring from her any explanation. She begged him not to follow her, andthemost bewildering point was that her father and mother appeared, fromthe tone of a letter Graye received from them, as vexed and sad as heat this suddenrenunciation. One thing was plain: without admitting herreason as valid, they knew what that reason was, and did not intend toreveal it.A week from that dayAmbrose Graye left his friend Huntway's houseand saw no more of the Love he mourned. From time to time his friendanswered any inquiry Graye made by letterrespecting her. But very poorfood to a lover is intelligence of a mistress filtered through a friend.Huntway could tell nothing definitely. He said he believed therehadbeen some prior flirtation between Cytherea and her cousin, an officerof the line, two or three years before Graye met her, which had suddenlybeenterminated by the cousin's departure for India, and the younglady's travelling on the Continent with her parents the whole of theensuing summer, on account ofdelicate health. Eventually Huntway saidthat circumstances had rendered Graye's attachment more hopeless still.Cytherea's mother had unexpectedly inherited alarge fortune and estatesin the west of England by the rapid fall of some intervening lives. Thishad caused their removal from the small house in Bloomsbury,and, as itappeared, a renunciation of their old friends in that quarter.Young Graye concluded that his Cytherea had forgotten him and his love.But he could notforget her.2. FROM 1843 TO 1861Eight years later, feeling lonely and depressed--a man withoutrelatives, with many acquaintances but no friends--AmbroseGraye meta young lady of a different kind, fairly endowed with money and goodgifts. As to caring very deeply for another woman after the loss ofCytherea, it wasan absolute impossibility with him. With all, thebeautiful things of the earth become more dear as they elude pursuit;but with some natures utter elusion is theone special event which willmake a passing love permanent for ever.This second young lady and Graye were married. That he did not, firstor last, love his wife ashe should have done, was known to all; butfew knew that his unmanageable heart could never be weaned from uselessrepining at the loss of its first idol.Hischaracter to some extent deteriorated, as emotional constitutionswill under the long sense of disappointment at having missed theirimagined destiny. And thus,though naturally of a gentle and pleasantdisposition, he grew to be not so tenderly regarded by his acquaintancesas it is the lot of some of those persons to be.The winning andsanguine receptivity of his early life developed by degrees a moodynervousness, and when not picturing prospects drawn from baseless hopehewas the victim of indescribable depression. The practical issue ofsuch a condition was improvidence, originally almost an unconsciousimprovidence, for every debtincurred had been mentally paid off with areligious exactness from the treasures of expectation before mentioned.But as years revolved, the same course wascontinued from the lack ofspirit sufficient for shifting out of an old groove when it has beenfound to lead to disaster.In the year 1861 his wife died, leaving him awidower with two children.The elder, a son named Owen, now just turned seventeen, was taken fromschool, and initiated as pupil to the profession of architect inhisfather's office. The remaining child was a daughter, and Owen's juniorby a year.Her christian name was Cytherea, and it is easy to guess why.3. OCTOBER THETWELFTH, 1863We pass over two years in order to reach the next cardinal event ofthese persons' lives. The scene is still the Grayes' native town ofHocbridge, butas it appeared on a Monday afternoon in the month ofOctober.The weather was sunny and dry, but the ancient borough was to be seenwearing one of its least"}

But the Dwarf answered: No;something human is dearer to me  than the wealth of all the world.\" GRIMM'S TALES.TO MY WIFEYOUTHThis could have occurred nowhere but in England, wheremen and seainterpenetrate, so to speak--the sea entering into the life of most men,and the men knowing something or everything about the sea, in the wayofamusement, of travel, or of bread-winning.We were sitting round a mahogany table that reflected the bottle, theclaret-glasses, and our faces as we leaned onour elbows. There was adirector of companies, an accountant, a lawyer, Marlow, and myself. Thedirector had been a _Conway_ boy, the accountant had servedfour years atsea, the lawyer--a fine crusted Tory, High Churchman, the best of oldfellows, the soul of honour--had been chief officer in the P. & O.service in thegood old days when mail-boats were square-rigged at leaston two masts, and used to come down the China Sea before a fair monsoonwith stun'-sails set alowand aloft. We all began life in the merchantservice. Between the five of us there was the strong bond of the sea,and also the fellowship of the craft, which noamount of enthusiasm foryachting, cruising, and so on can give, since one is only the amusementof life and the other is life itself.Marlow (at least I think that ishow he spelt his name) told the story,or rather the chronicle, of a voyage:\"Yes, I have seen a little of the Eastern seas; but what I remember bestis my firstvoyage there. You fellows know there are those voyages thatseem ordered for the illustration of life, that might stand for a symbolof existence. You fight, work,sweat, nearly kill yourself, sometimes dokill yourself, trying to accomplish something--and you can't. Notfrom any fault of yours. You simply can do nothing,neither great norlittle--not a thing in the world--not even marry an old maid, or get awretched 600-ton cargo of coal to its port of destination.\"It was altogether amemorable affair. It was my first voyage to theEast, and my first voyage as second mate; it was also my skipper's firstcommand. You'll admit it was time. He wassixty if a day; a little man,with a broad, not very straight back, with bowed shoulders and one legmore bandy than the other, he had that queer twisted-aboutappearanceyou see so often in men who work in the fields. He had a nut-crackerface--chin and nose trying to come together over a sunken mouth--and itwasframed in iron-grey fluffy hair, that looked like a chin strap ofcotton-wool sprinkled with coal-dust. And he had blue eyes in thatold face of his, which wereamazingly like a boy's, with that candidexpression some quite common men preserve to the end of their days bya rare internal gift of simplicity of heart andrectitude of soul.What induced him to accept me was a wonder. I had come out of a crackAustralian clipper, where I had been third officer, and he seemed tohavea prejudice against crack clippers as aristocratic and high-toned.He said to me, 'You know, in this ship you will have to work.' I saidI had to work in every ship Ihad ever been in. 'Ah, but this isdifferent, and you gentlemen out of them big ships;... but there! Idare say you will do. Join to-morrow.'\"I joined to-morrow. Itwas twenty-two years ago; and I was just twenty.How time passes! It was one of the happiest days of my life. Fancy!Second mate for the first time--a reallyresponsible officer! I wouldn'thave thrown up my new billet for a fortune. The mate looked me overcarefully. He was also an old chap, but of another stamp. Hehad a Romannose, a snow-white, long beard, and his name was Mahon, but he insistedthat it should be pronounced Mann. He was well connected; yet therewassomething wrong with his luck, and he had never got on.\"As to the captain, he had been for years in coasters, then in theMediterranean, and last in the WestIndian trade. He had never beenround the Capes. He could just write a kind of sketchy hand, and didn'tcare for writing at all. Both were thorough good seamen ofcourse,and between those two old chaps I felt like a small boy between twograndfathers.\"The ship also was old. Her name was the _Judea_. Queer name, isn'tit?She belonged to a man Wilmer, Wilcox--some name like that; but he hasbeen bankrupt and dead these twenty years or more, and his name don'tmatter. Shehad been laid up in Shadwell basin for ever so long. You mayimagine her state. She was all rust, dust, grime--soot aloft, dirt ondeck. To me it was like coming outof a palace into a ruined cottage.She was about 400 tons, had a primitive windlass, wooden latches to thedoors, not a bit of brass about her, and a big squarestern. There wason it, below her name in big letters, a lot of scroll work, with thegilt off, and some sort of a coat of arms, with the motto 'Do or Die'underneath. Iremember it took my fancy immensely. There was a touch ofromance in it, something that made me love the old thing--something thatappealed to my youth!\"Weleft London in ballast--sand ballast--to load a cargo of coal in anorthern port for Bankok. Bankok! I thrilled. I had been six years atsea, but had only seenMelbourne and Sydney, very good places, charmingplaces in their way--but Bankok!\"We worked out of the Thames under canvas, with a North Sea pilot onboard.His name was Jermyn, and he dodged all day long about the galleydrying his handkerchief before the stove. Apparently he never slept.He was a dismal man, witha perpetual tear sparkling at the end of hisnose, who either had been in trouble, or was in trouble, or expectedto be in trouble--couldn't be happy unlesssomething went wrong. Hemistrusted my youth, my common-sense, and my seamanship, and made apoint of showing it in a hundred little ways. I dare say hewas right.It seems to me I knew very little then, and I know not much more now;but I cherish a hate for that Jermyn to this day.\"We were a week working up asfar as Yarmouth Roads, and then we gotinto a gale--the famous October gale of twenty-two years ago. It waswind, lightning, sleet, snow, and a terrific sea. Wewere flying light,and you may imagine how bad it was when I tell you we had smashedbulwarks and a flooded deck. On the second night she shifted herballastinto the lee bow, and by that time we had been blown off somewhere onthe Dogger Bank. There was nothing for it but go below with shovels andtry toright her, and there we were in that vast hold, gloomy like acavern, the tallow dips stuck and flickering on the beams, the galehowling above, the ship tossingabout like mad on her side; there weall were, Jermyn, the captain, everyone, hardly able to keep our feet,engaged on that gravedigger's work, and trying to tossshovelfuls of wetsand up to windward. At every tumble of the ship you could see vaguelyin the dim light men falling down with a great flourish of shovels.One ofthe ship's boys (we had two), impressed by the weirdness of thescene, wept as if his heart would break. We could hear him blubberingsomewhere in theshadows.\"On the third day the gale died out, and by-and-by a north-country tugpicked us up. We took sixteen days in all to get from London to theTyne! Whenwe got into dock we had lost our turn for loading, and theyhauled us off to a tier where we remained for a month. Mrs. Beard (thecaptain's name was Beard)came from Colchester to see the old man. Shelived on board. The crew of runners had left, and there remained onlythe officers, one boy, and the steward, amulatto who answered to thename of Abraham. Mrs. Beard was an old woman, with a face all wrinkledand ruddy like a winter apple, and the figure of a younggirl. Shecaught sight of me once, sewing on a button, and insisted on having myshirts to repair. This was something different from the captains' wivesI hadknown on board crack clippers. When I brought her the shirts, shesaid: 'And the socks? They want mending, I am sure, and John's--CaptainBeard's--things are allin order now. I would be glad of something todo.' Bless the old woman! She overhauled my outfit for me, and meantimeI read for the first time _Sartor Resartus_and Burnaby's _Ride toKhiva_. I didn't understand much of the first then; but I remember Ipreferred the soldier to the philosopher at the time; a preferencewhichlife has only confirmed. One was a man, and the other was eithermore--or less. However, they are both dead, and Mrs. Beard is dead, andyouth, strength,genius, thoughts, achievements, simple hearts--all dies.... No matter.\"They loaded us at last. We shipped a crew. Eight able seamen and twoboys. We hauled offone evening to the buoys at the dock-gates, ready togo out, and with a fair prospect of beginning the voyage next day. Mrs.Beard was to start for home by a latetrain. When the ship was fastwe went to tea. We sat rather silent through the meal--Mahon, the oldcouple, and I. I finished first, and slipped away for a smoke,my cabinbeing in a deck-house just against the poop. It was high water, blowingfresh with a drizzle; the double dock-gates were opened, and the steamcollierswere going in and out in the darkness with their lights burningbright, a great plashing of propellers, rattling of winches, and a lotof hailing on the pier-heads. Iwatched the procession of head-lightsgliding high and of green lights gliding low in the night, when suddenlya red gleam flashed at me, vanished, came into viewagain, and remained.The fore-end of a steamer loomed up close. I shouted down the cabin,'Come up, quick!' and then heard a startled voice saying afar inthedark, 'Stop her, sir.' A bell jingled. Another voice cried warningly,'We are going right into that barque, sir.' The answer to this was agruff 'All right,' and thenext thing was a heavy crash as the steamerstruck a glancing blow with the bluff of her bow about our fore-rigging.There was a moment of confusion, yelling, andrunning about. Steamroared. Then somebody was heard saying, 'All clear, sir.'... 'Areyou all right?' asked the gruff voice. I had jumped forward to seethedamage, and hailed back, 'I think so.' 'Easy astern,' said the gruffvoice. A bell jingled. 'What steamer is that?' screamed Mahon. By thattime she was no moreto us than a bulky shadow maneuvering a littleway off. They shouted at us some name--a woman's name, Miranda orMelissa--or some such thing. 'This meansanother month in this beastlyhole,' said Mahon to me, as we peered with lamps about the splinteredbulwarks and broken braces. 'But where's the captain?'\"Wehad not heard or seen anything of him all that time. We went aft tolook. A doleful voice arose hailing somewhere in the middle of the dock,'_Judea_ ahoy!'... Howthe devil did he get there?... 'Hallo!' weshouted. 'I am adrift in our boat without oars,' he cried. A belatedwaterman offered his services, and Mahon struck abargain with him forhalf-a-crown to tow our skipper alongside; but it was Mrs. Beard thatcame up the ladder first.

Onewho has at any time had the honour of your lordshipâ\u0000\u0000s conversation,cannot be supposed to think verymeanly of that which he would prefer toyour perusal.  Yet it were to incur the imputation of too muchsufficiency to pretend to such a merit as might abide the testof yourlordshipâ\u0000\u0000s censure.Whatever value may be wanting to this play while yet it is mine, will besufficiently made up to it when it is once become yourlordshipâ\u0000\u0000s; and itis my security, that I cannot have overrated it more by my dedicationthan your lordship will dignify it by your patronage.That it succeededon the stage was almost beyond my expectation; for butlittle of it was prepared for that general taste which seems now to bepredominant in the palates of ouraudience.Those characters which are meant to be ridiculed in most of our comediesare of fools so gross, that in my humble opinion they should ratherdisturb thandivert the well-natured and reflecting part of an audience;they are rather objects of charity than contempt, and instead of movingour mirth, they ought very oftento excite our compassion.This reflection moved me to design some characters which should appearridiculous not so much through a natural folly (which isincorrigible,and therefore not proper for the stage) as through an affected wit: a witwhich, at the same time that it is affected, is also false.  As there issomedifficulty in the formation of a character of this nature, so thereis some hazard which attends the progress of its success upon the stage:for many come to a playso overcharged with criticism, that they veryoften let fly their censure, when through their rashness they havemistaken their aim.  This I had occasion lately toobserve: for this playhad been acted two or three days before some of these hasty judges couldfind the leisure to distinguish betwixt the character of a Witwoudand aTruewit.I must beg your lordshipâ\u0000\u0000s pardon for this digression from the truecourse of this epistle; but that it may not seem altogether impertinent,I begthat I may plead the occasion of it, in part of that excuse ofwhich I stand in need, for recommending this comedy to your protection.It is only by the countenanceof your lordship, and the _few_ soqualified, that such who write with care and pains can hope to bedistinguished: for the prostituted name of poet promiscuouslylevels allthat bear it.Terence, the most correct writer in the world, had a Scipio and a Lelius,if not to assist him, at least to support him in hisreputation.  Andnotwithstanding his extraordinary merit, it may be their countenance wasnot more than necessary.The purity of his style, the delicacy of histurns, and the justness ofhis characters, were all of them beauties which the greater part of hisaudience were incapable of tasting.  Some of the coarsest strokesofPlautus, so severely censured by Horace, were more likely to affect themultitude; such, who come with expectation to laugh at the last act of aplay, and arebetter entertained with two or three unseasonable jeststhan with the artful solution of the fable.As Terence excelled in his performances, so had he greatadvantages toencourage his undertakings, for he built most on the foundations ofMenander: his plots were generally modelled, and his characters readydrawn tohis hand.  He copied Menander; and Menander had no less light inthe formation of his characters from the observations of Theophrastus, ofwhom he was adisciple; and Theophrastus, it is known, was not only thedisciple, but the immediate successor of Aristotle, the first andgreatest judge of poetry.  These weregreat models to design by; and thefurther advantage which Terence possessed towards giving his plays thedue ornaments of purity of style, and justness ofmanners, was not lessconsiderable from the freedom of conversation which was permitted himwith Lelius and Scipio, two of the greatest and most polite men ofhisage.  And, indeed, the privilege of such a conversation is the onlycertain means of attaining to the perfection of dialogue.If it has happened in any part of thiscomedy that I have gained a turnof style or expression more correct, or at least more corrigible, than inthose which I have formerly written, I must, with equalpride andgratitude, ascribe it to the honour of your lordshipâ\u0000\u0000s admitting me intoyour conversation, and that of a society where everybody else was sowellworthy of you, in your retirement last summer from the town: for it wasimmediately after, that this comedy was written.  If I have failed in myperformance, itis only to be regretted, where there were so many notinferior either to a Scipio or a Lelius, that there should be one wantingequal in capacity to a Terence.If I amnot mistaken, poetry is almost the only art which has not yetlaid claim to your lordshipâ\u0000\u0000s patronage.  Architecture and painting, tothe great honour of ourcountry, have flourished under your influence andprotection.  In the meantime, poetry, the eldest sister of all arts, andparent of most, seems to have resignedher birthright, by havingneglected to pay her duty to your lordship, and by permitting others of alater extraction to prepossess that place in your esteem, to whichnonecan pretend a better title.  Poetry, in its nature, is sacred to the goodand great: the relation between them is reciprocal, and they are everpropitious to it.  Itis the privilege of poetry to address them, and itis their prerogative alone to give it protection.This received maxim is a general apology for all writers whoconsecratetheir labours to great men: but I could wish, at this time, that thisaddress were exempted from the common pretence of all dedications; andthat as Ican distinguish your lordship even among the most deserving, sothis offering might become remarkable by some particular instance ofrespect, which shouldassure your lordship that I am, with all due senseof your extreme worthiness and humanity, my lord, your lordshipâ\u0000\u0000s mostobedient and most obliged humbleservant,                                                           WILL. CONGREVE.PROLOGUE.                         Spoken by MR. BETTERTON.   OF those few fools, who with illstars are curst,   Sure scribbling fools, called poets, fare the worst:   For theyâ\u0000\u0000re a sort of fools which fortune makes,   And, after she has made â\u0000\u0000emfools, forsakes.   With Natureâ\u0000\u0000s oafs â\u0000\u0000tis quite a diffâ\u0000\u0000rent case,   For Fortune favours all her idiot race.   In her own nest the cuckoo eggs wefind,   Oâ\u0000\u0000er which she broods to hatch the changeling kind:   No portion for her own she has to spare,   So much she dotes on her adopted care.   Poets arebubbles, by the town drawn in,   Suffered at first some trifling stakes to win:   But what unequal hazards do they run!   Each time they write they venture alltheyâ\u0000\u0000ve won:   The Squire thatâ\u0000\u0000s buttered still, is sure to be undone.   This author, heretofore, has found your favour,   But pleads no merit from his pastbehaviour.   To build on that might prove a vain presumption,   Should grants to poets made admit resumption,   And in Parnassus he must lose his seat,   If thatbe found a forfeited estate.   He owns, with toil he wrought the following scenes,   But if theyâ\u0000\u0000re naught neâ\u0000\u0000er spare him for his pains:   Damn him themore; have no commiseration   For dulness on mature deliberation.   He swears heâ\u0000\u0000ll not resent one hissed-off scene,   Nor, like those peevish wits, his playmaintain,   Who, to assert their sense, your taste arraign.   Some plot we think he has, and some new thought;   Some humour too, no farceâ\u0000\u0000but thatâ\u0000\u0000s afault.   Satire, he thinks, you ought not to expect;   For so reformed a town who dares correct?   To please, this time, has been his sole pretence,   Heâ\u0000\u0000ll notinstruct, lest it should give offence.   Should he by chance a knave or fool expose,   That hurts none here, sure here are none of those.   In short, our play shall(with your leave to show it)   Give you one instance of a passive poet,   Who to your judgments yields all resignation:   So save or damn, after your owndiscretion.DRAMATIS PERSONÃ\u0000.

SanFrancisco was no longer what it had been then, a caravanserai, aterminus, an_inn_, where for a night there slept the busy men who werehastening to the gold-fields west of the Sierra Nevada. At the end ofsome twenty years the oldunknown Yerba-Buena had given place to a townunique of its kind, peopled by 100,000 inhabitants, built under theshelter of a couple of hills, away from theshore, but stretching off tothe farthest heights in the background--a city in short which hasdethroned Lima, Santiago, Valparaiso, and every other rival, andwhichthe Americans have made the queen of the Pacific, the \"glory of thewestern coast!\"It was the 15th of May, and the weather was still cold. InCalifornia,subject as it is to the direct action of the polar currents, the firstweeks of this month are somewhat similar to the last weeks of March inCentral Europe.But the cold was hardly noticeable in the thick of theauction crowd. The bell with its incessant clangour had broughttogether an enormous throng, and quite asummer temperature caused thedrops of perspiration to glisten on the foreheads of the spectatorswhich the cold outside would have soon solidified.Do notimagine that all these folks had come to the auction-room withthe intention of buying. I might say that all of them had but come tosee. Who was going to be madenough, even if he were rich enough, topurchase an isle of the Pacific, which the government had in someeccentric moment decided to sell? Would the reserveprice ever bereached? Could anybody be found to work up the bidding? If not, it wouldscarcely be the fault of the public crier, who tried his best to temptbuyersby his shoutings and gestures, and the flowery metaphors of hisharangue. People laughed at him, but they did not seem much influencedby him.\"An island! anisle to sell!\" repeated Gingrass.\"But not to buy!\" answered an Irishman, whose pocket did not hold enoughto pay for a single pebble.\"An island which at thevaluation will not fetch six dollars an acre!\"said the auctioneer.\"And which won't pay an eighth per cent.!\" replied a big farmer, who waswell acquainted withagricultural speculations.\"An isle which measures quite sixty-four miles round and has an area oftwo hundred and twenty-five thousand acres!\"\"Is it solid on itsfoundation?\" asked a Mexican, an old customer at theliquor-bars, whose personal solidity seemed rather doubtful at themoment.\"An isle with forests still virgin!\"repeated the crier, \"with prairies,hills, watercourses--\"\"Warranted?\" asked a Frenchman, who seemed rather inclined to nibble.\"Yes! warranted!\" added Felporg,much too old at his trade to be movedby the chaff of the public.\"For two years?\"\"To the end of the world!\"\"Beyond that?\"\"A freehold island!\" repeated the crier,\"an island without a singlenoxious animal, no wild beasts, no reptiles!--\"\"No birds?\" added a wag.\"No insects?\" inquired another.\"An island for the highest bidder!\"said Dean Felporg, beginning again.\"Come, gentlemen, come! Have a little courage in your pockets! Who wantsan island in perfect state of repair, never beenused, an island in thePacific, that ocean of oceans? The valuation is a mere nothing! It isput at eleven hundred thousand dollars, is there any one will bid?Whospeaks first? You, sir?--you, over there nodding your head like aporcelain mandarin? Here is an island! a really good island! Who says anisland?\"\"Pass itround!\" said a voice as if they were dealing with a picture ora vase.And the room shouted with laughter, but not a half-dollar was bid.However, if the lot could notbe passed round, the map of the island wasat the public disposal. The whereabouts of the portion of the globeunder consideration could be accuratelyascertained. There was neithersurprise nor disappointment to be feared in that respect. Situation,orientation, outline, altitudes, levels, hydrography, climatology,linesof communication, all these were easily to be verified in advance.People were not buying a pig in a poke, and most undoubtedly there couldbe no mistake asto the nature of the goods on sale. Moreover, theinnumerable journals of the United States, especially those ofCalifornia, with their dailies, bi-weeklies, weeklies,bi-monthlies,monthlies, their reviews, magazines, bulletins, &c., had been forseveral months directing constant attention to the island whose sale byauction hadbeen authorized by Act of Congress.The island was Spencer Island, which lies in the west-south-west of theBay of San Francisco, about 460 miles from theCalifornian coast, in 32°15' north latitude, and 145° 18' west longitude, reckoning fromGreenwich. It would be impossible to imagine a more isolatedposition,quite out of the way of all maritime or commercial traffic, althoughSpencer Island was relatively, not very far off, and situatedpractically in Americanwaters. But thereabouts the regular currentsdiverging to the north and south have formed a kind of lake of calms,which is sometimes known as the \"Whirlpool ofFleurieu.\"It is in the centre of this enormous eddy, which has hardly anappreciable movement, that Spencer Island is situated. And so it issighted by very fewships. The main routes of the Pacific, which jointhe new to the old continent, and lead away to China or Japan, run in amore southerly direction. Sailing-vesselswould meet with endless calmsin the Whirlpool of Fleurieu; and steamers, which always take theshortest road, would gain no advantage by crossing it. Henceships ofneither class know anything of Spencer Island, which rises above thewaters like the isolated summit of one of the submarine mountains of thePacific.Truly, for a man wishing to flee from the noise of the world,seeking quiet in solitude, what could be better than this island, lostwithin a few hundred miles of thecoast? For a voluntary RobinsonCrusoe, it would be the very ideal of its kind! Only of course he mustpay for it.And now, why did the United States desire to partwith the island? Wasit for some whim? No! A great nation cannot act on caprice in anymatter, however simple. The truth was this: situated as it was,SpencerIsland had for a long time been known as a station perfectly useless.There could be no practical result from settling there. In a militarypoint of view it wasof no importance, for it only commanded anabsolutely deserted portion of the Pacific. In a commercial point ofview there was a similar want of importance, for the"}

I'd mow them down as Iwould a herd of wild beasts loose in the streets of San Francisco.\"\"Merely for adifference of opinion, Governor?\" lazily broke in avoice from the depths of a heavy armchair.\"If you want to put it so, Norman, yes. Opinions, my boy, aretheessence of life--they may lead to heaven or hell. Opinions makecowards or heroes, patriots or traitors, criminals or saints.\"\"But you believe in free speech?\"persisted the boy.\"Yes. And that's more than any Socialist can say. I don't deny theirright to speak their message. What I can't understand is how thepeople whohave been hounded from the tyrant-ridden countries of theold world and found shelter and protection beneath our flag shouldturn thus to curse the hand thatshields them.\"\"But if they propose to give you a better flag, Governor?\" drawled thelazy voice. \"Why not consider?\"\"Look, Elena! Did the sun ever shine onanything more beautiful? Seeit fluttering from a thousand house-tops--the proud emblem of humanfreedom and human progress! Dewey has lifted it this morningon thefoulest slave-pen of the Orient--the flag that has never met defeat.The one big faith in me is the belief that Almighty God inspired ourfathers to build thisRepublic--the noblest dream yet conceived by themind of man. Dewey has sunk a tyrant fleet and conquered an empire ofslaves without the loss of a single man.The God of our fathers waswith him. We have a message for the swarming millions of the East----\"\"Pardon the interruption, Governor, but I must hold the mirrorup tonature just a moment--your portrait sketched by the poet-laureate ofthe English-speaking world.

War isthe searchlight of history,the great revealer of national life, ofhidden strength and unexpected weakness. I saw it in the Civilconflict--I've seen it in this little struggle----\"\"Then you doacknowledge it's not the greatest struggle inhistory--that's something to be thankful for in these days ofpatriotism,\" exclaimed Norman, rising and stretchinghimself beforethe open fire while he winked mischievously at Elena.\"It's big enough, my boy, to show us the truth about our nation. Ourold problems are nolonger real. The Union our fathers dreamed hascome at last. We are one people--one out of many--and we can whipSpain before breakfast----\"\"With one handtied behind our back!\" laughed the boy.\"Yes, and blindfolded. It will be easy. But the next serious job willbe to bury a half million deluded fools in this country whocallthemselves Socialists.\"The Colonel paused and a look of foreboding clouded his face as hegazed from the window of his house on Nob Hill over the city ofSanFrancisco, which he loved with a devotion second only to hispassionate enthusiasm for the Union.Elena sat watching him in silent sympathy. He was the oneperfect manof her life dreams, the biggest, strongest, tenderest soul she hadever known. Since the day she crept into his arms a lonely littleorphan ten years oldshe had worshipped him as father, mother,guardian, lover, friend--all in one. She had accepted Norman's loveand promised to be his wife more to please hisfather than from anyoverwhelming passion for the handsome, lazy young athlete. It had comeabout as a matter of course because Colonel Worth wished it.TheColonel turned from the window, and his eyes rested on Elena'supturned face.\"It will be bloody work--but we've got to do it----\"Elena sprang to her feet with astart and a laugh.\"Do what, Guardie? I forgot what you were talking about.\"\"Then don't worry your pretty head about it, dear. It's a job we menwill look after indue time.\"He stooped and kissed her forehead. \"By-by until to-night--I'll dropdown to the club and hear the latest from the front.\"With the firm, swinging stride ofa man who lives in the open theColonel passed through the door of the library.\"Norman, I can't realize that you two are father and son--he looksmore like yourbrother.\"\"At least my older brother----\"\"Yes, of course, but you would never take him for a man offorty-eight.

I've always hated sap-headed youngsters.\"\"Say, Elena, for heaven's sake, who are you in love with anyhow--withme or theGovernor?\"A smile flickered around the corners of the girl's eyes and mouthbefore she slowly answered:\"I sometimes think I really love you both, Norman--butthere aretimes when I have doubts about you.\"\"Thanks.

HARPER.1893, PhiladelphiaTO MY DAUGHTERMARY E. HARPER,THIS BOOK IS LOVINGLY DEDICATED.INTRODUCTION.I confess whenI first learned that Mrs. Harper was about to write \"astory\" on some features of the Anglo-African race, growing out of whatwas once popularly known as the\"peculiar institution,\" I had my doubtsabout the matter. Indeed it was far from being easy for me to think thatshe was as fortunate as she might have been inselecting a subject whichwould afford her the best opportunity for bringing out a work of meritand lasting worth to the race--such a work as some of herpersonalfriends have long desired to see from her graphic pen. However, afterhearing a good portion of the manuscript read, and a general statementwith regardto the object in view, I admit frankly that my partialindifference was soon swept away; at least I was willing to wait forfurther developments.Being very desirousthat one of the race, so long distinguished in thecause of freedom for her intellectual worth as Mrs. Harper has had thehonor of being, should not at this late datein life make a blunderwhich might detract from her own good name, I naturally proposed toawait developments before deciding too quickly in favor ofgivingencouragement to her contemplated effort.However, I was perfectly aware of the fact that she had much material inher possession for a most interestingbook on the subject of thecondition of the colored people in the South. I know of no other woman,white or colored, anywhere, who has come so intimately incontact withthe colored people in the South as Mrs. Harper. Since emancipation shehas labored in every Southern State in the Union, save two, ArkansasandTexas; in the colleges, schools, churches, and the cabins not excepted,she has found a vast field and open doors to teach and speak on thethemes ofeducation, temperance, and good home building, industry,morality, and the like, and never lacked for evidences of heartyappreciation and gratitude.Everywherehelp was needed, and her heart being deeply absorbed in thecause she willingly allowed her sympathies to impel her to perform mostheroic services.With her itwas no uncommon occurrence, in visiting cities or towns, tospeak at two, three, and four meetings a day; sometimes to promiscuousaudiences composed ofeverybody who would care to come.But the kind of meetings she took greatest interest in were meetingscalled exclusively for women. In this attitude she couldpour out hersympathies to them as she could not do before a mixed audience; andindeed she felt their needs were far more pressing than any other class.Andnow I am prepared to most fully indorse her story. I doubt whethershe could, if she had tried ever so much, have hit upon a subject sowell adapted to reach alarge number of her friends and the public withboth entertaining and instructive matter as successfully as she has donein this volume.The grand and ennoblingsentiments which have characterized all herutterances in laboring for the elevation of the oppressed will not befound missing in this book.The previous books fromher pen, which have been so very widelycirculated and admired, North and South--\"Forest Leaves,\" \"MiscellaneousPoems,\" \"Moses, a Story of the Nile,\" \"Poems,\"and \"Sketches of SouthernLife\" (five in number)--these, I predict, will be by far eclipsed bythis last effort, which will, in all probability, be the crowning effortofher long and valuable services in the cause of humanity.While, as indicated, Mrs. Harper has done a large amount of work in theSouth, she has at the same timedone much active service in thetemperance cause in the North, as thousands of this class can testify.Before the war she was engaged as a speaker byanti-slaveryassociations; since then, by appointment of the Women's ChristianTemperance Union, she has held the office of \"Superintendent of ColoredWork\" foryears. She has also held the office of one of the Directors ofthe Women's Congress of the United States.Under the auspices of these influential, earnest, andintelligentassociations, she has been seen often on their platforms with theleading lady orators of the nation.Hence, being widely known not only amongst herown race but likewise bythe reformers, laboring for the salvation of the intemperate and othersequally unfortunate, there is little room to doubt that the book willbein great demand and will meet with warm congratulations from a goodlynumber outside of the author's social connections.Doubtless the thousands of coloredSunday-schools in the South, incasting about for an interesting, moral story-book, full of practicallessons, will not be content to be without \"IOLA LEROY, ORSHADOWSUPLIFTED.\"WILLIAM STILL.CONTENTS.ChapterI.

ConclusionNoteCHAPTER I.MYSTERY OFMARKET SPEECH AND PRAYER-MEETING.\"Good mornin', Bob; how's butter dis mornin'?\"\"Fresh; just as fresh, as fresh can be.\"\"Oh, glory!\" said the questioner,whom we shall call Thomas Anderson,although he was known among his acquaintances as Marster Anderson's Tom.His informant regarding the condition of themarket was Robert Johnson,who had been separated from his mother in his childhood and reared byhis mistress as a favorite slave. She had fondled him as a petanimal,and even taught him to read. Notwithstanding their relation as mistressand slave, they had strong personal likings for each other.Tom Anderson was theservant of a wealthy planter, who lived in the cityof C----, North Carolina. This planter was quite advanced in life, butin his earlier days he had spent much of histime in talking politics inhis State and National capitals in winter, and in visiting pleasureresorts and watering places in summer. His plantations were left tothecare of overseers who, in their turn, employed negro drivers to aid themin the work of cultivation and discipline. But as the infirmities of agewere pressingupon him he had withdrawn from active life, and given themanagement of his affairs into the hands of his sons. As Robert Johnsonand Thomas Anderson passedhomeward from the market, having boughtprovisions for their respective homes, they seemed to be verylight-hearted and careless, chatting and joking with eachother; butevery now and then, after looking furtively around, one would drop intothe ears of the other some news of the battle then raging between theNorth andSouth which, like two great millstones, were grinding slaveryto powder.As they passed along, they were met by another servant, who said inhurried tones, butwith a glad accent in his voice:--\"Did you see de fish in de market dis mornin'? Oh, but dey war splendid,jis' as fresh, as fresh kin be.\"\"That's the ticket,\" saidRobert, as a broad smile overspread his face.\"I'll see you later.\"\"Good mornin', boys,\" said another servant on his way to market. \"How'seggs dis mornin'?\"\"Fustrate, fust rate,\" said Tom Anderson. \"Bob's got it down fine.\"\"I thought so; mighty long faces at de pos'-office dis mornin'; but I'dbetter move 'long,\" and with abright smile lighting up his face hepassed on with a quickened tread.There seemed to be an unusual interest manifested by these men in thestate of the producemarket, and a unanimous report of its goodcondition. Surely there was nothing in the primeness of the butter orthe freshness of the eggs to change carelesslooking faces into suchexpressions of gratification, or to light dull eyes with such gladness.What did it mean?During the dark days of the Rebellion, when thebondman was turning hiseyes to the American flag, and learning to hail it as an ensign ofdeliverance, some of the shrewder slaves, coming in contact withtheirmasters and overhearing their conversations, invented a phraseology toconvey in the most unsuspected manner news to each other from thebattle-field.Fragile women and helpless children were left on theplantations while their natural protectors were at the front, and yetthese bondmen refrained from violence.Freedom was coming in the wake ofthe Union army, and while numbers deserted to join their forces, othersremained at home, slept in their cabins by night andattended to theirwork by day; but under this apparently careless exterior there was anundercurrent of thought which escaped the cognizance of their masters.Inconveying tidings of the war, if they wished to announce a victory ofthe Union army, they said the butter was fresh, or that the fish andeggs were in goodcondition. If defeat befell them, then the butter andother produce were rancid or stale.Entering his home, Robert set his basket down. In one arm he held abundleof papers which he had obtained from the train to sell to theboarders, who were all anxious to hear from the seat of battle. Heslipped one copy out and, lookingcautiously around, said to Linda, thecook, in a low voice:--\"Splendid news in the papers. Secesh routed. Yankees whipped 'em out oftheir boots. Papers full of it. Itell you the eggs and the butter'smighty fresh this morning.\"\"Oh, sho, chile,\" said Linda, \"I can't read de newspapers, but oleMissus' face is newspaper nuff forme. I looks at her ebery mornin' wenshe comes inter dis kitchen. Ef her face is long an' she walks kine o'droopy den I thinks things is gwine wrong for dem.

NARRATOR (V.O)           In between the years when the           oceans drank Atlantis and the rise           of the Sons ofAryas, there was an           age undreamed of, when shining           kingdoms lay spread across the           world like blue mantles under the           stars. Hithercame Conan, the           Cimmerian: a thief, a slayer, a           king born of battle.                                   Muffled sounds, as if underwater, echo: CLANGINGswords, the          guttural CRIES of combat.                                                  UNBORN BABY                                   Eyes closed, floating at peacewithin red glow of the womb.                                   Suddenly, a flash of steel, as a sword pierces the womb, its          tip not an inch from the baby'shead.                                   As the sword is ripped out, light streams in from outside, we          travel with it, into the DIN ofBATTLE.                                                            EXT.

Amory, Son of BeatriceAmory Blaine inherited from his mother every trait, except thestrayinexpressible few, that made him worth while. His father, anineffectual, inarticulate man with a taste for Byron and a habit ofdrowsing over the EncyclopediaBritannica, grew wealthy at thirtythrough the death of two elder brothers, successful Chicago brokers, andin the first flush of feeling that the world was his, wentto Bar Harborand met Beatrice O'Hara. In consequence, Stephen Blaine handed down toposterity his height of just under six feet and his tendency to waveratcrucial moments, these two abstractions appearing in his son Amory.For many years he hovered in the background of his family's life, anunassertive figure witha face half-obliterated by lifeless, silky hair,continually occupied in \"taking care\" of his wife, continually harassedby the idea that he didn't and couldn't understandher.But Beatrice Blaine! There was a woman! Early pictures taken on herfather's estate at Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, or in Rome at the SacredHeart Convent--aneducational extravagance that in her youth was onlyfor the daughters of the exceptionally wealthy--showed the exquisitedelicacy of her features, theconsummate art and simplicity of herclothes. A brilliant education she had--her youth passed in renaissanceglory, she was versed in the latest gossip of the OlderRoman Families;known by name as a fabulously wealthy American girl to Cardinal Vitoriand Queen Margherita and more subtle celebrities that one must havehadsome culture even to have heard of. She learned in England to preferwhiskey and soda to wine, and her small talk was broadened in two sensesduring awinter in Vienna. All in all Beatrice O'Hara absorbed thesort of education that will be quite impossible ever again; a tutelagemeasured by the number of things andpeople one could be contemptuous ofand charming about; a culture rich in all arts and traditions, barren ofall ideas, in the last of those days when the greatgardener clipped theinferior roses to produce one perfect bud.In her less important moments she returned to America, met StephenBlaine and married him--thisalmost entirely because she was a littlebit weary, a little bit sad. Her only child was carried througha tiresome season and brought into the world on a spring dayinninety-six.When Amory was five he was already a delightful companion for her. Hewas an auburn-haired boy, with great, handsome eyes which he wouldgrowup to in time, a facile imaginative mind and a taste for fancy dress.From his fourth to his tenth year he did the country with his motherin her father's privatecar, from Coronado, where his mother became sobored that she had a nervous breakdown in a fashionable hotel, down toMexico City, where she took a mild,almost epidemic consumption. Thistrouble pleased her, and later she made use of it as an intrinsic partof her atmosphere--especially after several astoundingbracers.So, while more or less fortunate little rich boys were defyinggovernesses on the beach at Newport, or being spanked or tutored or readto from \"Do andDare,\" or \"Frank on the Mississippi,\" Amory was bitingacquiescent bell-boys in the Waldorf, outgrowing a natural repugnanceto chamber music and symphonies,and deriving a highly specializededucation from his mother.\"Amory.\"\"Yes, Beatrice.\" (Such a quaint name for his mother; she encouraged it.)\"Dear, don't _think_of getting out of bed yet. I've always suspectedthat early rising in early life makes one nervous. Clothilde is havingyour breakfast brought up.\"\"All right.\"\"I amfeeling very old to-day, Amory,\" she would sigh, her face a rarecameo of pathos, her voice exquisitely modulated, her hands as facileas Bernhardt's. \"My nervesare on edge--on edge. We must leave thisterrifying place to-morrow and go searching for sunshine.\"Amory's penetrating green eyes would look out throughtangled hair athis mother. Even at this age he had no illusions about her.\"Amory.\"\"Oh, _yes_.\"\"I want you to take a red-hot bath as hot as you can bear it, andjustrelax your nerves. You can read in the tub if you wish.\"She fed him sections of the \"Fetes Galantes\" before he was ten; ateleven he could talk glibly, if ratherreminiscently, of Brahms andMozart and Beethoven. One afternoon, when left alone in the hotel atHot Springs, he sampled his mother's apricot cordial, and asthe tastepleased him, he became quite tipsy. This was fun for a while, buthe essayed a cigarette in his exaltation, and succumbed to a vulgar,plebeian reaction.Though this incident horrified Beatrice, it alsosecretly amused her and became part of what in a later generation wouldhave been termed her \"line.\"\"This son ofmine,\" he heard her tell a room full of awestruck, admiringwomen one day, \"is entirely sophisticated and quite charming--butdelicate--we're all delicate; _here_,you know.\" Her hand was radiantlyoutlined against her beautiful bosom; then sinking her voice to awhisper, she told them of the apricot cordial. They rejoiced,for shewas a brave raconteuse, but many were the keys turned in sideboard locksthat night against the possible defection of little Bobby or Barbara....Thesedomestic pilgrimages were invariably in state; two maids, theprivate car, or Mr. Blaine when available, and very often a physician.When Amory had thewhooping-cough four disgusted specialists glared ateach other hunched around his bed; when he took scarlet fever the numberof attendants, including physiciansand nurses, totalled fourteen.However, blood being thicker than broth, he was pulled through.The Blaines were attached to no city. They were the Blaines ofLakeGeneva; they had quite enough relatives to serve in place of friends,and an enviable standing from Pasadena to Cape Cod. But Beatrice grewmore and moreprone to like only new acquaintances, as there werecertain stories, such as the history of her constitution and its manyamendments, memories of her yearsabroad, that it was necessary forher to repeat at regular intervals. Like Freudian dreams, they must bethrown off, else they would sweep in and lay siege to hernerves. ButBeatrice was critical about American women, especially the floatingpopulation of ex-Westerners.\"They have accents, my dear,\" she told Amory, \"notSouthern accentsor Boston accents, not an accent attached to any locality, just anaccent\"--she became dreamy. \"They pick up old, moth-eaten Londonaccentsthat are down on their luck and have to be used by some one. They talkas an English butler might after several years in a Chicago grand-operacompany.\"She became almost incoherent--\"Suppose--time in every Westernwoman's life--she feels her husband is prosperous enough for her tohave--accent--they try toimpress _me_, my dear--\"Though she thought of her body as a mass of frailties, she consideredher soul quite as ill, and therefore important in her life. Shehadonce been a Catholic, but discovering that priests were infinitely moreattentive when she was in process of losing or regaining faith in MotherChurch, shemaintained an enchantingly wavering attitude. Often shedeplored the bourgeois quality of the American Catholic clergy, and wasquite sure that had she lived inthe shadow of the great Continentalcathedrals her soul would still be a thin flame on the mighty altar ofRome. Still, next to doctors, priests were her favoritesport.\"Ah, Bishop Wiston,\" she would declare, \"I do not want to talk ofmyself. I can imagine the stream of hysterical women fluttering at yourdoors, beseechingyou to be simpatico\"--then after an interlude filledby the clergyman--\"but my mood--is--oddly dissimilar.\"Only to bishops and above did she divulge her clericalromance. When shehad first returned to her country there had been a pagan, Swinburnianyoung man in Asheville, for whose passionate kisses andunsentimentalconversations she had taken a decided penchant--they had discussedthe matter pro and con with an intellectual romancing quite devoidofsappiness. Eventually she had decided to marry for background, and theyoung pagan from Asheville had gone through a spiritual crisis, joinedthe CatholicChurch, and was now--Monsignor Darcy.\"Indeed, Mrs. Blaine, he is still delightful company--quite thecardinal's right-hand man.\"\"Amory will go to him one day, Iknow,\" breathed the beautiful lady,\"and Monsignor Darcy will understand him as he understood me.\"Amory became thirteen, rather tall and slender, and morethan ever on tohis Celtic mother. He had tutored occasionally--the idea being that hewas to \"keep up,\" at each place \"taking up the work where he left off,\"yet asno tutor ever found the place he left off, his mind was still invery good shape. What a few more years of this life would have made ofhim is problematical.However, four hours out from land, Italy bound,with Beatrice, his appendix burst, probably from too many meals in bed,and after a series of frantic telegrams toEurope and America, to theamazement of the passengers the great ship slowly wheeled around andreturned to New York to deposit Amory at the pier. You willadmit thatif it was not life it was magnificent.After the operation Beatrice had a nervous breakdown that bore asuspicious resemblance to delirium tremens, andAmory was left inMinneapolis, destined to spend the ensuing two years with his aunt anduncle. There the crude, vulgar air of Western civilization firstcatcheshim--in his underwear, so to speak.          *****A KISS FOR AMORYHis lip curled when he read it.  \"I am going to have a bobbing party,\" it said, \"onThursday,  December the seventeenth, at five o'clock, and I would like it  very much if you could come.

Good Doctor, do not school me     For a fault you are not free from: On my life     Were all Heirs in _Corduba_, put to theirOaths,     They would confess with me, 'tis a sound Tenet:     I am sure _Leandro_ do's.     _Ars_.

Don Jamie_ the Brother     To the Grandee _Don Henrique_, appears much taken     With his behaviour.     _Mil_.     There issomething more in't:     He needs his Purse, and knows how to make use on't.     'Tis now in fashion for your _Don_, that's poor,     To vow all Leagues offriendship with a Merchant     That can supply his wants, and howsoe're     _Don Jamie's_ noble born, his elder Brother     _Don Henrique_ rich, and his Revenueslong since     Encreas'd by marrying with a wealthy Heir     Call'd, Madam _Vi[o]lante_, he yet holds     A hard hand o're _Jamie_, allowing him     A bare annuityonly.     _Ars_.     Yet 'tis said     He hath no child, and by the Laws of _Spain_     If he die without issue, _Don Jamie_     Inherits his Estate.     _Mil_.     Whythat's the reason     Of their so many jarrs: though the young Lord     Be sick of the elder Brother, and in reason     Should flatter, and observe him, he's of anature     Too bold and fierce, to stoop so, but bears up,     Presuming on his hopes.     _Ars_.     What's the young Lad     That all of 'em make so muchof?     _Mil._     'Tis a sweet one,     And the best condition'd youth, I ever saw yet,     So humble, and so affable, that he wins     The love of all that know him,and so modest,     That (in despight of poverty) he would starve     Rather than ask a courtesie: He's the Son     Of a poor cast-Captain, one _Octavio_;     AndShe, that once was call'd th'fair _Jacinta_,     Is happy in being his Mother: for his sake,     _Enter_ Jamie, Leandro, _and_ Ascanio.     (Though in their Fortunesfaln) they are esteem'd of,     And cherish'd by the best. O here they come.     I now may spare his Character, but observe him,     He'l justifie myreport.     _Jam_.     My good _Ascanio_,     Repair more often to me: above Women     Thou ever shalt be welcome.     _Asc_.     My Lord your favours     Mayquickly teach a raw untutour'd Youth     To be both rude and sawcy.     _Lean_.     You cannot be     Too frequent where you are so much desir'd:     And give meleave (dear friend) to be your Rival     In part of his affection; I will buy it     At any rate.     _Jam_.     Stood I but now possess'd     Of what my future hopepresages to me,     I then would make it clear thou hadst a Patron     That would not say but do: yet as I am,     Be mine, I'le not receive thee as aservant,     But as my Son, (and though I want my self)     No Page attending in the Court of _Spain_     Shall find a kinder master.     _Asc_.     I beseechyou     That my refusal of so great an offer     May make no ill construction, 'tis not pride     (That common vice is far from my condition)     That makes you adenyal to receive     A favour I should sue for: nor the fashion     Which the Country follows, in which to be a servant     In those that groan beneath the heavyweight     Of poverty, is held an argument     Of a base abject mind, I wish my years     Were fit to do you service in a nature     That might become a Gentleman(give me leave     To think my self one) My Father serv'd the King     As a Captain in the field; and though his fortune     Return'd him home a poor man, he wasrich     In Reputation, and wounds fairly taken.     Nor am I by his ill success deterr'd,     I rather feel a strong desire that sways me     To follow his profession,and if Heaven     Hath mark'd me out to be a man, how proud,     In the service of my Country, should I be,     To trail a Pike under your bravecommand!     There, I would follow you as a guide to honour,     Though all the horrours of the War made up     To stop my passage.     _Jam_.     Thou art ahopeful Boy,     And it was bravely spoken: For this answer,     I love thee more than ever.     _Mil_.     Pity such seeds     Of promising courage should not growand prosper.     _Ang_.     What ever his reputed Parents be,     He hath a mind that speaks him right and noble.     _Lean_.     You make him blush; it needs notsweet _Ascanio_,     We may hear praises when they are deserv'd,     Our modesty unwounded. By my life     I would add something to the building up     So faira mind, and if till you are fit     To bear Arms in the Field, you'l spend some years     In _Salamanca_, I'le supply your studies     With allconveniences.     _Asc_.     Your goodness (Signiors)     And charitable favours overwhelm me.     If I were of your blood, you could not be     More tender of me:what then can I pay     (A poor Boy and a stranger) but a heart     Bound to your service? with what willingness     I would receive (good Sir) your nobleoffer,     Heaven can bear witness for me: but alas,     Should I embrace the means to raise my fortunes,     I must destroy the lives of my poor Parents     (Towho[m] I ow my being) they in me     Place all their comforts, and (as if I were     The light of their dim eyes) are so indulgent     They cannot brook one shortdayes absence from me;     And (what will hardly win belief) though young,     I am their Steward and their Nurse: the bounties     Which others bestow on meserves to sustain 'em,     And to forsake them in their age, in me     Were more than Murther.     _Enter_ Henrique.     _Aug_.     This is a kind ofbegging     Would make a Broker charitable.     _Mil_.     Here, (sweet heart)     I wish it were more.     _Lean_.     When this is spent,     Seek for supply fromme.     _Jam_.     Thy piety     For ever be remembred: nay take all,     Though 'twere my exhibition to a Royal     For one whole year.     _Asc_.     High Heavensreward your goodness.     _Hen_.     So Sir, is this a slip of your own grafting,     You are so prodigal?     _Jam_.     A slip Sir?     _Hen_.     Yes,     A slip; or callit by the proper name,     Your Bastard.     _Jam_.     You are foul-mouth'd; do not provoke me,     I shall forget your Birth if you proceed,     And use you, (asyour manners do deserve) uncivilly.     _Hen_.     So brave! pray you give me hearing,     Who am I Sir?     _Jam_.     My elder Brother: One     That might havebeen born a fool, and so reputed,     But that you had the luck to creep into     The world a year before me.     _Lean_.     Be more temperate.     _Jam_.     Ineither can nor will, unless I learn it     By his example: let him use his harsh     Unsavoury reprehensions upon those     That are his Hinds, and not on me. TheLand     Our Father left to him alone rewards him,     For being twelve months elder, let that be     Forgotten, and let his Parasites remember     One quality ofworth or vertue in him     That may authorize him, to be a censurer     Of me, or my manners, and I will     Acknowledge him for a Tutor, till then,never.     _Hen_.     From whom have you your means Sir?     _Jam_.     From the will     Of my dead Father; I am sure I spend not     Nor give't upon yourpurse.     _Hen.     But will it hold out     Without my help?     _Jam_.     I am sure it shall, I'le sink else,     For sooner I will seek aid from a Whore,     Than acourtesie from you.     _Hen_.     'Tis well; you are proud of     Your new Exchequer, when you have cheated him     And worn him to the quick, I may befound     In the List of your acquaintance.     _Lean_     Pray you hold     And give me leave (my Lord) to say thus much     (And in mine own defence) I am noGull     To be wrought on by perswasion: nor no Coward     To be beaten out of my means, but know to whom     And why I give or lend, and will donothing     But what my reason warrants; you may be     As sparing as you please, I must be bold     To make use of my own, without yourlicence.     _Jam_.

All that he do's (_Leandro_) is for my good,     I think there's not a Gentleman of_Spain_,     That has a better Steward, than I have of him.     _Hen_.     Your Steward Sir?     _Jam_.

Hewas born at Burgos about the year 1040.There is so much of the mythical in the history of this personage thathypercritical writers, such as Masdeu, have doubtedhis existence; butrecent researches have succeeded in separating the historical from theromantic.Under Sancho II, son of Ferdinand, he served as commander ofthe royaltroops. In a war between the two brothers, Sancho II. and Alfonso VI. ofLeon, due to some dishonorable stratagem on the part of Rodrigo, Sanchowasvictorious and his brother was forced to seek refuge with theMoorish King of Toledo.In 1072 Sancho was assassinated at the siege of Zamora, and as he leftnoheir the Castilians had to acknowledge Alfonso as King. AlthoughAlfonso never forgave the Cid for having, as leader of the Castilians,compelled him to swear thathe (the Cid) had no hand in the murder ofhis brother Sancho, as a conciliatory measure, he gave his cousinXimena, daughter of the Count of Oviedo, to the Cid inmarriage, butafterwards, in 1081, when he found himself firmly seated on the throne,yielding to his own feelings of resentment and incited by the Leonesenobles,he banished him from the kingdom.At the head of a large body of followers, the Cid joined the MoorishKing of Saragossa, in whose service he fought against bothMoslems andChristians. It was probably during this exile that he was first calledthe Cid, an Arabic title, which means the _lord_. He was verysuccessful in all hisbattles.In conjunction with Mostain, grandson of Moctadir, he invaded Valenciain 1088, but afterwards carried on operations alone, and finally, aftera long siege,made himself master of the city in June, 1094. He retainedpossession of Valencia for five years and reigned like an independentsovereign over one of the richestterritories in the Peninsula, but diedsuddenly in 1099 of anger and grief on hearing that his relative, AlvarFañez, had been vanquished and the army which hehad sent to hisassistance had been defeated.After the Cid's death his wife held Valencia till 1102, when she wasobliged to yield to the Almoravides and fly toCastile, where she diedin 1104. Her remains were placed by those of her lord in the monasteryof San Pedro de Cardeña.THE CID.ACT THE FIRST.SceneI.--CHIMÃ\u0000NE and ELVIRA._Chimène._ Elvira, have you given me a really true report? Do youconceal nothing that my father has said?_Elvira._ All my feelingswithin me are still delighted with it. Heesteems Rodrigo as much as you love him; and if I do not misread hismind, he will command you to respond to hispassion._Chimène._ Tell me then, I beseech you, a second time, what makes youbelieve that he approves of my choice; tell me anew what hope I oughttoentertain from it. A discourse so charming cannot be too often heard;you cannot too forcibly promise to the fervor of our love the sweetliberty of manifestingitself to the light of day. What answer has hegiven regarding the secret suit which Don Sancho and Don Rodrigo arepaying to you? Have you not too clearly shownthe disparity between thetwo lovers which inclines me to the one side?_Elvira._ No; I have depicted your heart as filled with anindifference which elates not eitherof them nor destroys hope, and,without regarding them with too stern or too gentle an aspect, awaits thecommands of a father to choose a spouse. This respecthas delightedhim--his lips and his countenance gave me at once a worthy testimony ofit; and, since I must again tell you the tale, this is what he hastenedto sayto me of them and of you: 'She is in the right. Both are worthyof her; both are sprung from a noble, valiant, and faithful lineage;young but yet who show by theirmien [_lit._ cause to easily be readin their eyes] the brilliant valor of their brave ancestors. Don Rodrigo,above all, has no feature in his face which is not thenoble [_lit._high] representative of a man of courage [_lit._ heart], and descendsfrom a house so prolific in warriors, that they enter into life [_lit._take birththere] in the midst of laurels. The valor of his father, inhis time without an equal, as long as his strength endured, wasconsidered a marvel; the furrows on hisbrow bear witness to [_lit._have engraved his] exploits, and tell us still what he formerly was. Ipredict of the son what I have seen of the father, and mydaughter, inone word, may love him and please me.' He was going to the council, thehour for which approaching, cut short this discourse, which he hadscarcelycommenced; but from these few words, I believe that his mind[_lit._ thoughts] is not quite decided between your two lovers. The kingis going to appoint aninstructor for his son, and it is he for whom anhonor so great is designed. This choice is not doubtful, and hisunexampled valor cannot tolerate that we should fearany competition. Ashis high exploits render him without an equal, in a hope so justifiablehe will be without a rival; and since Don Rodrigo has persuadedhisfather, when going out from the council, to propose the affair. I leaveyou to judge whether he will seize this opportunity [_lit._ whether hewill take his timewell], and whether all your desires will soon begratified._Chimène._ It seems, however, that my agitated soul refuses this joy,and finds itself overwhelmed by it.One moment gives to fate differentaspects, and in this great happiness I fear a great reverse._Elvira._ You see this fear happily deceived._Chimène._ Let us go,whatever it may be, to await the issue.Scene II.--The INFANTA, LEONORA, and a PAGE._Infanta (to Page_). Page, go, tell Chimène from me, that to-day sheisrather long in coming to see me, and that my friendship complains of hertardiness. [_Exit Page._]_Leonora._ Dear lady, each day the same desire urges you,and at yourinterview with her, I see you every day ask her how her love proceeds._Infanta._ It is not without reason. I have almost compelled her toreceive thearrows with which her soul is wounded. She loves Rodrigo,and she holds him from my hand; and by means of me Don Rodrigo hasconquered her disdain. Thus,having forged the chains of these lovers, Iought to take an interest in seeing their troubles at an end._Leonora._ Dear lady, however, amidst their good fortuneyou exhibit agrief which proceeds to excess. Does this love, which fills them bothwith gladness, produce in this noble heart [of yours] profound sadness?And doesthis great interest which you take in them render you unhappy,whilst they are happy? But I proceed too far, and become indiscreet._Infanta._ My sadnessredoubles in keeping the secret. Listen, listenat length, how I have struggled; listen what assaults my constancy[_lit._ virtue or valor] yet braves. Love is a tyrantwhich spares noone. This young cavalier, this lover which I give [her]--I love him._Leonora._ You love him!_Infanta._ Place your hand upon my heart, and feel[_lit._ see] how itthrobs at the name of its conqueror! how it recognizes him!_Leonora._ Pardon me, dear lady, if I am wanting in respect in blamingthis passion;a noble princess to so far forget herself as to admit inher heart a simple [_or_, humble] cavalier! And what would the Kingsay?--what would Castile say? Do youstill remember of whom you are thedaughter?_Infanta._ I remember it so well, that I would shed my blood rather thandegrade my rank. I might assuredlyanswer to thee, that, in noble souls,worth alone ought to arouse passions; and, if my love sought to excuseitself, a thousand famous examples might sanction it.But I will notfollow these--where my honor is concerned, the captivation of myfeelings does not abate my courage, and I say to myself always, that,being thedaughter of a king, all other than a monarch is unworthy ofme. When I saw that my heart could not protect itself, I myself gaveaway that which I did not dare totake; and I put, in place of my self,Chimène in its fetters, and I kindled their passions [_lit._ fires] inorder to extinguish my own. Be then no longer surprised ifmy troubledsoul with impatience awaits their bridal; thou seest that my happiness[_lit._ repose] this day depends upon it. If love lives by hope, itperishes with it;it is a fire which becomes extinguished for want offuel; and, in spite of the severity of my sad lot, if Chimène ever hasRodrigo for a husband, my hope is deadand my spirit, is healed.Meanwhile, I endure an incredible torture; even up to this bridal.Rodrigo is dear to me; I strive to lose him, and I lose him with regret,andhence my secret anxiety derives its origin. I see with sorrow thatlove compels me to utter sighs for that [object] which [as a princess] Imust disdain. I feel myspirit divided into two portions; if my courageis high, my heart is inflamed [with love]. This bridal is fatal to me, Ifear it, and [yet] I desire it; I dare to hope fromit only anincomplete joy; my honor and my love have for me such attractions, thatI [shall] die whether it be accomplished, or whether it benotaccomplished._Leonora._ Dear lady, after that I have nothing more to say, exceptthat, with you, I sigh for your misfortunes; I blamed you a short timesince,now I pity you. But since in a misfortune [i.e. an ill-timedlove] so sweet and so painful, your noble spirit [_lit._ virtue]contends against both its charm and itsstrength, and repulses itsassault and regrets its allurements, it will restore calmness to youragitated feelings. Hope then every [good result] from it, and fromtheassistance of time; hope everything from heaven; it is too just [_lit._it has too much justice] to leave virtue in such a long continuedtorture._Infanta._ Mysweetest hope is to lose hope.(_The Page re-enters._)_Page._ By your commands, Chimène comes to see you._Infanta_ (to _Leonora_). Go and converse withher in that gallery[yonder]._Leonora._ Do you wish to continue in dreamland?_Infanta._ No, I wish, only, in spite of my grief, to compose myself[_lit._ to put myfeatures a little more at leisure]. I follow you.[_Leonora goes out along with the Page._]Scene III.--The INFANTA (alone).Just heaven, from which I await myrelief, put, at last, some limit tothe misfortune which is overcoming [_lit._ possesses] me; secure myrepose, secure my honor. In the happiness of others I seekmy own. Thisbridal is equally important to three [parties]; render its completionmore prompt, or my soul more enduring. To unite these two lovers withamarriage-tie is to break all my chains and to end all my sorrows. But Itarry a little too long; let us go to meet Chimène, and, byconversation, to relieve our"}

It had never been evenmentioned to him. He knew that his papahad been an Englishman, becausehis mamma had told him so; but then his papa had died when he was solittle a boy that he could not remember very muchabout him, except thathe was big, and had blue eyes and a long mustache, and that it was asplendid thing to be carried around the room on his shoulder. Sincehispapa's death, Cedric had found out that it was best not to talk to hismamma about him. When his father was ill, Cedric had been sent away, andwhen he hadreturned, everything was over; and his mother, who hadbeen very ill, too, was only just beginning to sit in her chair by thewindow. She was pale and thin, and allthe dimples had gone from herpretty face, and her eyes looked large and mournful, and she was dressedin black.\"Dearest,\" said Cedric (his papa had called herthat always, and so thelittle boy had learned to say it),--\"dearest, is my papa better?\"He felt her arms tremble, and so he turned his curly head and looked inherface. There was something in it that made him feel that he was goingto cry.\"Dearest,\" he said, \"is he well?\"Then suddenly his loving little heart told him that he'dbetter put bothhis arms around her neck and kiss her again and again, and keep hissoft cheek close to hers; and he did so, and she laid her face on hisshoulderand cried bitterly, holding him as if she could never let himgo again.\"Yes, he is well,\" she sobbed; \"he is quite, quite well, but we--we haveno one left but eachother. No one at all.\"Then, little as he was, he understood that his big, handsome young papawould not come back any more; that he was dead, as he had heardof otherpeople being, although he could not comprehend exactly what strangething had brought all this sadness about. It was because his mammaalways criedwhen he spoke of his papa that he secretly made up his mindit was better not to speak of him very often to her, and he found out,too, that it was better not to lether sit still and look into the fireor out of the window without moving or talking. He and his mamma knewvery few people, and lived what might have beenthought very lonelylives, although Cedric did not know it was lonely until he grew olderand heard why it was they had no visitors. Then he was told thathismamma was an orphan, and quite alone in the world when his papa hadmarried her. She was very pretty, and had been living as companion to arich old ladywho was not kind to her, and one day Captain Cedric Errol,who was calling at the house, saw her run up the stairs with tears onher eyelashes; and she looked sosweet and innocent and sorrowful thatthe Captain could not forget her. And after many strange things hadhappened, they knew each other well and loved eachother dearly, andwere married, although their marriage brought them the ill-will ofseveral persons. The one who was most angry of all, however, wastheCaptain's father, who lived in England, and was a very rich andimportant old nobleman, with a very bad temper and a very violentdislike to America andAmericans. He had two sons older than CaptainCedric; and it was the law that the elder of these sons should inheritthe family title and estates, which were veryrich and splendid; if theeldest son died, the next one would be heir; so, though he was a memberof such a great family, there was little chance that CaptainCedricwould be very rich himself.But it so happened that Nature had given to the youngest son gifts whichshe had not bestowed upon his elder brothers. He had abeautiful faceand a fine, strong, graceful figure; he had a bright smile and a sweet,gay voice; he was brave and generous, and had the kindest heart in theworld,and seemed to have the power to make every one love him. And itwas not so with his elder brothers; neither of them was handsome,or very kind, or clever.When they were boys at Eton, they were notpopular; when they were at college, they cared nothing for study, andwasted both time and money, and made fewreal friends. The old Earl,their father, was constantly disappointed and humiliated by them; hisheir was no honor to his noble name, and did not promise to end inbeinganything but a selfish, wasteful, insignificant man, with no manly ornoble qualities. It was very bitter, the old Earl thought, that the sonwho was only third,and would have only a very small fortune, should bethe one who had all the gifts, and all the charms, and all the strengthand beauty. Sometimes he almost hatedthe handsome young man because heseemed to have the good things which should have gone with the statelytitle and the magnificent estates; and yet, in thedepths of his proud,stubborn old heart, he could not help caring very much for his youngestson. It was in one of his fits of petulance that he sent him off totravelin America; he thought he would send him away for a while, sothat he should not be made angry by constantly contrasting him with hisbrothers, who were at thattime giving him a great deal of trouble bytheir wild ways.But, after about six months, he began to feel lonely, and longed insecret to see his son again, so hewrote to Captain Cedric and orderedhim home. The letter he wrote crossed on its way a letter the Captainhad just written to his father, telling of his love for theprettyAmerican girl, and of his intended marriage; and when the Earl receivedthat letter he was furiously angry. Bad as his temper was, he hadnever given way toit in his life as he gave way to it when he read theCaptain's letter. His valet, who was in the room when it came, thoughthis lordship would have a fit of apoplexy,he was so wild with anger.For an hour he raged like a tiger, and then he sat down and wrote to hisson, and ordered him never to come near his old home, nor towrite tohis father or brothers again. He told him he might live as he pleased,and die where he pleased, that he should be cut off from his familyforever, and thathe need never expect help from his father as long ashe lived.The Captain was very sad when he read the letter; he was very fond ofEngland, and he dearly lovedthe beautiful home where he had been born;he had even loved his ill-tempered old father, and had sympathized withhim in his disappointments; but he knew heneed expect no kindness fromhim in the future. At first he scarcely knew what to do; he had not beenbrought up to work, and had no business experience, but hehad courageand plenty of determination. So he sold his commission in the Englisharmy, and after some trouble found a situation in New York, and married.Thechange from his old life in England was very great, but he was youngand happy, and he hoped that hard work would do great things for him inthe future. He hada small house on a quiet street, and his little boywas born there, and everything was so gay and cheerful, in a simple way,that he was never sorry for a momentthat he had married the rich oldlady's pretty companion just because she was so sweet and he loved herand she loved him. She was very sweet, indeed, and herlittle boy waslike both her and his father. Though he was born in so quiet and cheap alittle home, it seemed as if there never had been a more fortunate baby.Inthe first place, he was always well, and so he never gave any onetrouble; in the second place, he had so sweet a temper and ways socharming that he was apleasure to every one; and in the third place,he was so beautiful to look at that he was quite a picture. Instead ofbeing a bald-headed baby, he started in life witha quantity of soft,fine, gold-colored hair, which curled up at the ends, and went intoloose rings by the time he was six months old; he had big brown eyes andlongeyelashes and a darling little face; he had so strong a back andsuch splendid sturdy legs, that at nine months he learned suddenly towalk; his manners were sogood, for a baby, that it was delightful tomake his acquaintance. He seemed to feel that every one was his friend,and when any one spoke to him, when he was inhis carriage in thestreet, he would give the stranger one sweet, serious look with thebrown eyes, and then follow it with a lovely, friendly smile; andtheconsequence was, that there was not a person in the neighborhood of thequiet street where he lived--even to the groceryman at the corner, whowasconsidered the crossest creature alive--who was not pleased to seehim and speak to him. And every month of his life he grew handsomer andmoreinteresting.When he was old enough to walk out with his nurse, dragging a smallwagon and wearing a short white kilt skirt, and a big white hat set backon hiscurly yellow hair, he was so handsome and strong and rosy that heattracted every one's attention, and his nurse would come home and tellhis mamma stories ofthe ladies who had stopped their carriages to lookat and speak to him, and of how pleased they were when he talked to themin his cheerful little way, as if he hadknown them always. His greatestcharm was this cheerful, fearless, quaint little way of making friendswith people. I think it arose from his having a very confidingnature,and a kind little heart that sympathized with every one, and wished tomake every one as comfortable as he liked to be himself. It made himvery quick tounderstand the feelings of those about him. Perhaps thishad grown on him, too, because he had lived so much with his father andmother, who were always lovingand considerate and tender and well-bred.He had never heard an unkind or uncourteous word spoken at home; he hadalways been loved and caressed andtreated tenderly, and so his childishsoul was full of kindness and innocent warm feeling. He had always heardhis mamma called by pretty, loving names, and sohe used them himselfwhen he spoke to her; he had always seen that his papa watched over herand took great care of her, and so he learned, too, to be carefulofher.So when he knew his papa would come back no more, and saw how verysad his mamma was, there gradually came into his kind little heart thethought thathe must do what he could to make her happy. He was not muchmore than a baby, but that thought was in his mind whenever he climbedupon her knee andkissed her and put his curly head on her neck, andwhen he brought his toys and picture-books to show her, and when hecurled up quietly by her side as she usedto lie on the sofa. He was notold enough to know of anything else to do, so he did what he could, andwas more of a comfort to her than he could haveunderstood.\"Oh, Mary!\" he heard her say once to her old servant; \"I am sure heis trying to help me in his innocent way--I know he is. He looks at mesometimeswith a loving, wondering little look, as if he were sorry forme, and then he will come and pet me or show me something. He is such alittle man, I really think he"}

Half an hour he had beenwaiting here in the lounge room for Dr. Cyril Ansley, a middle-agedbachelor who had practised in Opelousas for twentyyears, and who hadcome to the city for the Mardi Gras festivities. Another man might haveseemed irritated by the wait, but Jachin Fell was quite unruffled.He hadmuch the air of a clerk. His features were thin and unremarkable;his pale eyes constantly wore an expression of wondering aloofness, asthough he saw aroundhim much that he vainly tried to understand. In hisentire manner was a shy reticence. He was no clerk, however, this wasevident from his attire. He was garbedfrom head to foot in soberlyblending shades of gray whose richness was notable only at close view.One fancied him a very precise sort of man, an old maid of thewrongsex.Doctor Ansley, an Inverness flung over his evening clothes, entered thelounge room, and Fell turned to him with a dry, toneless chuckle.\"You're thelimit! Did you forget we were going to the Maillards'to-night?\"Ansley appeared vexed and irritated. \"Confound it, Fell!\" he exclaimed.\"I've been all over townlooking for El Reys. Caught in a crowd--no ElReys yet!\"Again Fell uttered his toneless chuckle. His voice was absolutely level,unmarked by any change ofinflection.\"My dear fellow, there are only three places in the city that can affordto carry El Reys in these parlous times! This club, however, happens tobe one ofthe three. Here, sit down and forget your troubles over a realsmoke! We need not leave for fifteen minutes yet, at least.\"Doctor Ansley laid aside his cape, stick,and hat, and dropped into oneof the comfortable big chairs. He accepted the proffered cigar with asigh. Across his knees he laid an evening paper, whose flaringheadlinesproclaimed an extra.\"I suppose you've been gadding all around the town ever since theRevellers opened the season?\" he inquired.\"Hardly,\" said Fellwith his shy air. \"I'm growing a bit stiff with age,as Eliza said when she crossed the ice. I don't gad much.\"\"You intend to mask for the Maillards'?\" Ansley cast hiseye over thegray business attire of the little man.\"I never mask.\" Jachin Fell shook his head. \"I'll get a domino and go asI am. Excuse me--I'll order a dominonow, and also provide a few more ElReys for the evening. Back in a moment.\"Doctor Ansley, who was himself a non-resident member of the club andsociallyprominent when he could grant himself leisure for society,followed the slight figure of the other man with speculative eyes. Wellas he knew Jachin Fell, heinvariably found the man a source of puzzledspeculation.During many years Jachin Fell had been a member of the most exclusiveNew Orleans clubs. He was evenreceived in the inner circles of Creolesociety, which in itself was evidence supreme as to his position. Atthis particular club he was famed as a wizard master ofchess. He neverentered a tournament, yet he consistently defeated the champions inprivate matches--defeated them with a bewildering ease, a shyandapologetic ease, an ease which left the beholders incredulous andaghast.With all this, Jachin Fell was very much of a mystery, even among hisclosest friends.Very little was known of him; he was inconspicuous to adegree, and it was usually assumed that he was something of a recluse,the result of a thwarted love affairin his youth. He was a lawyer, andcertainly maintained offices in the Maison Blanche building, but henever appeared in the courts and no case of his pleading wasknown.It was said that he lived in the rebuilt casa of some old Spanishgrandee in the Vieux Carre, and that this residence of his was averitable treasure-trove ofhistoric and beautiful things. This was mererumour, adding a spice of romance to the general mystery. Ansley knewhim as well as did most men, and Ansley knewof a few who could boast ofhaving been a guest in Jachin Fell's home. There was a mother, aninvalid of whom Fell sometimes spoke and to whom he appeared todevotehimself. The family, an old one in the city, promised to die out withJachin Fell.Ansley puffed at his cigar and considered these things. Outside, in theNewOrleans streets, was rocketing the mad mirth of carnival. The weekpreceding Mardi Gras was at its close. Since the beginning of the newyear the festival hadbeen celebrated in a steadily climaxing series ofballs and entertainments, largely by the older families who kept to theold customs, and to a smaller extent bysociety at large. Now the finalweek was at hand, or rather the final three days--the period of thegreat balls, the period when tourists were flooding into town;fortourists, the whole time of Mardi Gras was comprised within these threedays. Despite agonized predictions, prohibition had not adverselyaffected Mardi Gras orthe gaiety of its celebration.Now, as ever, was Mardi Gras symbolized by masques. In New Orleans themasquerade was not the pale and pitiful frolic of colderclimes, wherethe occasion is but one for display of jewels and costumes, and whereactual concealment of identity is a farce. Here in New Orleans werejewels andcostumes in a profusion of splendour; but here was preservedthe underlying idea of the masque itself--that in concealment ofidentity lay the life of the thing!Masquers swept the streets gaily; ifharlequin husband flirted with domino wife--why, so much the merrier!There was little harm in the Latin masque, and greatmirth.When Jachin Fell returned and lighted his cigar he sank into one of theluxurious chairs beside Ansley and indicated the newspaper lying acrossthe latter'sknee, its flaring headlines standing out blackly.\"What's that about the Midnight Masquer? He's not appeared again?\"\"What?\" Ansley glanced at him in surprise.\"You've not heard?\"Fell shook his head. \"I seldom read the papers.\"\"Good heavens, man! He showed up last night at the Lapeyrouse dance, twominutes beforemidnight, as usual! A detective had been engaged, but wasafterward found locked in a closet, bound with his own handcuffs. TheMasquer wore his usualcostume--and went through the party famously,stripping everyone in sight. Then he backed through the doors andvanished. How he got in they can't imagine;where he went they can'timagine, unless it was by airplane. He simply appeared, then vanished!\"Fell settled deeper into his chair, pointed his cigar at theceiling,and sighed.\"Ah, most interesting! The loot was valued at about a hundred thousand?\"\"I thought you said you'd not heard of it?\" demanded Ansley.Felllaughed softly and shyly. \"I didn't. I merely hazarded a guess.\"\"Wizard!\" The doctor laughed in unison. \"Yes, about that amount.Exaggerated, of course; still,there were jewels of great value----\"\"The Masquer is a piker,\" observed Fell, in his toneless voice.\"Eh? A piker--when he can make a hundred-thousand-dollarhaul?\"\"Don't dream that those figures represent value, Doctor. They don't! Allthe loot the Masquer has taken since he began work is worth little tohim. Jewels arehard to sell. This game of banditry is romantic, butit's out of date these days. Of course, the crook has obtained a bit ofmoney, but not enough to be worth therisk.\"\"Yet he has got quite a bit,\" returned Ansley, thoughtfully. \"All themen have money, naturally; we don't want to find ourselves bare at somegay carnivalmoment! I'll warrant you've a hundred or so in your pocketright now!\"\"Not I,\" rejoined Fell, calmly. \"One ten-dollar bill. Also I left mywatch at home. And I'm not"}

E. SMITH,Ph.D._Author of \"The Skylark,\" \"Skylark Three,\" \"The Skylark        of Valeron,\" the Lensman stories, etc._Safety devices that do not protect.The \"unsinkable\"ships that, before the days of Bergenholm and of atomicand cosmic energy, sank into the waters of the earth.More particularly, safety devices which, whileprotecting against oneagent of destruction, attract magnet-like another and worse. Such as thearmored cable within the walls of a wooden house. It protectstheelectrical conductors within against accidental external shorts; but,inadequately grounded as it must of necessity be, it may attract andupon occasion hasattracted the stupendous force of lightning. Then,fused, volatilized, flaming incandescent throughout the length, breadth,and height of a dwelling, that dwelling'sexistence thereafter is to bemeasured in minutes.Specifically, four lightning rods. The lightning rods protecting thechromium, glass, and plastic home of NealCloud. Those rods wereadequately grounded, grounded with copper-silver cables the bigness of astrong man's arm; for Neal Cloud, atomic physicist, knew hislightningand he was taking no chances whatever with the safety of his lovely wifeand their three wonderful kids.He did not know, he did not even suspect, thatunder certain conditionsof atmospheric potential and of ground-magnetic stress his perfectlydesigned lightning-rod system would become a super-powerfulmagnet forflying vortices of atomic disintegration.And now Neal Cloud, atomic physicist, sat at his desk in a strained,dull apathy. His face was a yellowish-graywhite, his tendoned handsgripped rigidly the arms of his chair. His eyes, hard and lifeless,stared unseeingly past the small, three-dimensional block portrait ofallthat had made life worth living.For his guardian against lightning had been a vortex-magnet at themoment when a luckless wight had attempted to abate thenuisance of a\"loose\" atomic vortex. That wight died, of course--they almost alwaysdo--and the vortex, instead of being destroyed, was simply broken upinto anindefinite number of widely-scattered new vortices. And one ofthese bits of furious, uncontrolled energy, resembling more nearly ahandful of material rived from asun than anything else with whichordinary man is familiar, darted toward and crashed downward to earththrough Neal Cloud's new house.That home did notburn; it simply exploded. Nothing of it, in it, oraround it stood a chance, for in a fractional second of time the placewhere it had been was a crater of seething,boiling lava--a crater whichfilled the atmosphere to a height of miles with poisonous vapors; whichflooded all circumambient space with lethalradiations.Cosmically, the whole thing was infinitesimal. Ever since man learnedhow to liberate intra-atomic energy, the vortices of disintegration hadbeenbreaking out of control. Such accidents had been happening, werehappening, and would continue indefinitely to happen. More than oneworld, perhaps, had beenor would be consumed to the last gram by suchloose atomic vortices. What of that? Of what real importance are a fewgrains of sand to an ocean beach fivethousand miles long, a hundredmiles wide, and ten miles deep?And even to that individual grain of sand called \"Earth\"--or, in modernparlance, \"Sol Three,\" or\"Tellus of Sol\", or simply \"Tellus\"--theaffair was of negligible importance. One man had died; but, in dying, hehad added one more page to the thick bulk ofnegative results already onfile. That Mrs. Cloud and her children had perished was merelyunfortunate. The vortex itself was not yet a real threat to Tellus. Itwas a\"new\" one, and thus it would be a long time before it would becomeother than a local menace. And well before that could happen--beforeeven the oldest of Tellus'loose vortices had eaten away much of hermass or poisoned much of her atmosphere, her scientists would havesolved the problem. It was unthinkable thatTellus, the point of originand the very center of Galactic Civilization, should cease to exist.       *       *       *       *       *But to Neal Cloud the accident was theultimate catastrophe. Hispersonal universe had crashed in ruins; what was left was not worthpicking up. He and Jo had been married for almost twenty years andthebonds between them had grown stronger, deeper, truer with every passingday. And the kids.... It _couldn't_ have happened ... fate COULDN'T dothis to him... but it had ... it could. Gone ... gone ... GONE....And to Neal Cloud, atomic physicist, sitting there at his desk in torn,despairing abstraction, with black maggotsof thought gnawing holes inhis brain, the catastrophe was doubly galling because of its cruelirony. For he was second from the top in the Atomic ResearchLaboratory;his life's work had been a search for a means of extinguishment ofexactly such loose vortices as had destroyed his all.His eyes focussed vaguely uponthe portrait. Clear, honest gray eyes ...lines of character and of humor ... sweetly curved lips, ready to smileor to kiss....He wrenched his eyes away and scribbledbriefly upon a sheet of paper.Then, getting up stiffly, he took the portrait and moved woodenly acrossthe room to a furnace. As though enshrining it he placed theplasticblock upon a refractory between the electrodes and threw a switch. Afterthe flaming arc had done its work he turned and handed the paper to atall man,dressed in plain gray leather, who had been watching him withquiet, understanding eyes. Significant enough to the initiated of theimportance of this laboratory isthe fact that it was headed by anUnattached Lensman.\"As of now, Phil, if it's QX with you.\"The Gray Lensman took the document, glanced at it, andslowly,meticulously, tore it into sixteen equal pieces.\"Uh, uh, Storm,\" he denied, gently. \"Not a resignation. Leave ofabsence, yes--indefinite--but not aresignation.\"\"Why?\" It was scarcely a question; Cloud's voice was level,uninflected. \"I won't be worth the paper I'd waste.\"\"Now, no,\" the Lensman conceded,\"but the future's another matter. Ihaven't said anything so far, because to anyone who knew you and Jo as Iknew you it was abundantly clear that nothing couldbe said.\" Two handsgripped and held. \"For the future, though, four words were uttered longago, that have never been improved upon. 'This, too, shall pass.'\"\"Youthink so?\"\"I don't think so, Storm--I know so. I've been around a long time. Youare too good a man, and the world has too much use for you, for you togo downpermanently out of control. You've got a place in the world, andyou'll be back--\" A thought struck the Lensman, and he went on in analtered tone. \"Youwouldn't--but of course you wouldn't--you couldn't.\"\"I don't think so. No, I won't--that never was any kind of a solution toany problem.\"Nor was it. Until thatmoment, suicide had not entered Cloud's mind, andhe rejected it instantly. His kind of man did not take the easy way out.After a brief farewell Cloud made hisway to an elevator and was whiskeddown to the garage. Into his big blue DeKhotinsky Sixteen Special andaway.Through traffic so heavy that front-, rear-, andside-bumpers almosttouched he drove with his wonted cool skill; even though, consciously,he did not know that the other cars were there. He slowed,turned,stopped, \"gave her the oof,\" all in correct response to flashing signalsin all shapes and colors--purely automatically. Consciously, he did notknow where hewas going, nor care. If he thought at all, his numbedbrain was simply trying to run away from its own bitter imaging--which,if he had thought at all, he wouldhave known to be a hopeless task. Buthe did not think; he simply acted, dumbly, miserably. His eyes saw,optically; his body reacted, mechanically; his thinkingbrain wascompletely in abeyance.Into a one-way skyway he rocketed, along it over the suburbs and intothe transcontinental super-highway. Edging inward, laneafter lane, hereached the \"unlimited\" way--unlimited, that is, except for beinglimited to cars of not less than seven hundred horsepower, in perfectmechanicalcondition, driven by registered, tested drivers at speeds notless than one hundred and twenty-five miles an hour--flashed hisregistry number at the controlstation, and shoved his right foot downto the floor.       *       *       *       *       *Now everyone knows that an ordinary DeKhotinsky Sporter will do ahundred andforty honestly-measured miles in one honestly measured hour;but very few ordinary drivers have ever found out how fast one of thosebrutal big souped-upSixteens can wheel. They simply haven't got what ittakes to open one up.\"Storm\" Cloud found out that day. He held that two-and-a-half-tonJuggernaut on theroad, wide open, for two solid hours. But it didn'thelp. Drive as he would, he could not outrun that which rode with him.Beside him and within him and behindhim. For Jo was there. Jo and thekids, but mostly Jo. It was Jo's car as much as it was his. \"Babe, thebig blue ox,\" was Jo's pet name for it; because, like PaulBunyan'sfabulous beast, it was pretty nearly six feet between the eyes.Everything they had ever had was that way. She was in the seat besidehim. Every dear,every sweet, every luscious, lovely memory of her wasthere ... and behind him, just out of eye-corner visibility, were thethree kids. And a whole lifetime of thisloomed ahead--a vista ofemptiness more vacuous far than the emptiest reaches of intergalacticspace. Damnation! He couldn't stand much more of--High over theroadway, far ahead, a brilliant octagon flared red. Thatmeant \"STOP!\" in any language. Cloud eased up his accelerator, easeddown his mighty brakes. He pulledup at the control station and atrimly-uniformed officer made a gesture.\"Sorry, sir,\" the policeman said, \"but you'll have to detour here.There's a loose atomicvortex beside the road up ahead--\"Oh! It's Dr. Cloud!\" Recognition flashed into the guard's eyes. \"Ididn't recognize you at first. You can go ahead, of course. It'llbe twoor three miles before you'll have to put on your armor; you'll know whenbetter than anyone can tell you. They didn't tell us they were going tosend for_you_. It's just a little new one, and the dope we got was thatthey were going to shove it off into the canyon with pressure.\"\"They didn't send for me.\" Cloud triedto smile. \"I'm just drivingaround--haven't my armor along, even. So I guess I might as well goback.\"He turned the Special around. A loose vortex--new. There"}

I have avoided, whenever Icould, usingthe technical terms of zoology. To avoid doing so entirelyis impossible in a book which describes insects in some detail. Notechnical term has, I hope, been usedwithout an explanation.Over thirty years have elapsed since Taschenbergâ\u0000\u0000s German book, _DieFlöhe_, appeared. Our knowledge has made enormousstrides since then.More species of flea are now known from the British Islands alonethan were then known from the whole world. So far as I am aware, nobook,devoted to what is known about fleas, has ever been published inEnglish. The statements about these insects in the general text-booksof entomology arefrequently antiquated and inaccurate. But there isa fairly extensive literature on the _Siphonaptera_ scattered throughscientific periodicals mostly in English,German, Italian, Dutch andRussian. I have given some references in the Bibliography.The naturalists now living who have devoted any time to the specialstudy offleas may almost be counted on oneâ\u0000\u0000s fingers. In England thereare Mr Charles Rothschild and Dr Jordan; in the Shetland Islands, theRev. James Waterston;in Germany, Taschenberg of Halle and Dampf ofKönigsberg; in Russia, Wagner of Kieff; in Holland, Oudemans of Arnhem;in Italy, Tiraboschi of Rome; in theUnited States, Carl Baker and afew others. I have not mentioned medical men who have investigatedfleas in connection with plague.There are small collections offleas in the Natural History Museums atSouth Kensington (London), Paris, Berlin, Königsberg, Vienna, Budapest,S. Petersburg and Washington. Of privatecollections Mr CharlesRothschildâ\u0000\u0000s at Tring is by far the best in the world. It containssomething like a hundred thousand specimens and is most admirablykept.I must express profound and sincere gratitude to Mr Rothschild forhaving helped me in numberless ways and advised me in many difficulties.It is well knownthat the mere mention of fleas is not only considereda subject for merriment, but in some people produces, by subjectivesuggestion, violent irritation of the skin.The scientific studyof fleas has, however, received a great impetus since it has beenascertained that they are the active agents in spreading plague.Rat-fleas areof various kinds, and not all fleas will bite man. Aknowledge of the different species has suddenly become useful. Thehumble, but ridiculous, systematist with hisglass tubes of alcohol forcollecting fleas, his microscopic distinctions, and Latin nomenclaturehas become a benefactor of humanity. Some people seem to bepracticallyimmune to the bites of fleas, but even to such persons their visits areunwelcome.

We call them insects because they are jointedanimals, or Arthropods, with three pairs of legs in the adultcondition. The reader willbest understand the position which fleasoccupy in the general classification of animals by remembering thatthe arthropods, or jointed animals, are one of a dozensubkingdoms, orphyla, to which the various members of the great animal kingdom havebeen assigned. There is good ground for believing that all theanimalsincluded in each phylum trace their ancestry back to a common primitiveform which lived in more or less remote ages. Besides (1) _Insects_,thearthropods, or jointed animals, include (2) _Crustaceans_, such ascrabs, lobsters, shrimps, wood-lice, water-fleas and barnacles; (3)_Myriapods_, such ascentipedes and millipedes; and (4) _Arachnids_,such as spiders, scorpions, mites and ticks. To all these varied formsof animal life fleas, and other insects, aretherefore more or lessnearly related.The animals belonging to this large and important collection, whichcompose the arthropod phylum, have certain commoncharacteristicfeatures. We find a body made up of a series of more or less completelysimilar segments placed one behind the other. In this they resemblecertainworms which are far less highly organised. The body iselongated, symmetrical on either side, and the mouth and anus are atopposite ends. There is, however, animportant advance on the segmentedworms. Each typical segment carries a pair of appendages which are verydifferent from the foot-stumps that are found oncertain worms. Theseappendages of arthropods are divisible into distinct limb-segments,separated from one another by moveable joints, and acted uponbyspecial muscles.The common ancestor of all the various arthropods which are foundliving on the earth to-day, was probably composed of a series ofsegmentseach very similar to the last and each bearing a pair of verysimilar appendages. In the course of ages, these appendages have beenastoundingly modified in formand in function. So it happens thatwe find in the arthropods of the present day pairs of antennæ, ofmandibles and other mouth-parts, of pincers, of legs, ofswimming-feetand of tail pieces which on close examination can all be traced back toa common structure. The body-segments, also, have been strangelyfusedtogether and modified. All that has been so far said applies equally tofleas and to other insects.It is of great interest, when one comes to make a minutestudy ofthe form and external structure of a flea, to try and trace themodifications that must have taken place in the course of descent fromthe ancestralarthropod; but the relationship of fleas to other insectsliving at the present day is of more immediate concern. Insects arehighly specialized arthropods and fleasare highly specialized insects.This means that they have become vastly modified from the primitiveancestral type and fitted thereby for a life among certaindefined andpeculiar surroundings.It will be unnecessary to remind the reader who knows anything ofzoology or of botany that all classification is now based ondescent.Since naturalists have abandoned a belief in the special creationof the various species of animals now living on the earth and haveconclusively shown thatthey have arisen by descent and modificationfrom other forms, the problem is to reconstruct a vast genealogicaltree. What then were the ancestors of the fleasand to what otherinsects, in consequence, do they appear to be related?It is probable that the ancestors of the fleas were winged insects, andthat the organs offlight were gradually lost, as they became useless,when a partially parasitic life was adopted. At one time entomologistsregarded fleas as wingless flies and placedthem in the order Diptera.Certain supposed scaly plates on their bodies were regarded as theatrophied relics of wings. It is, however, more than doubtfulwhetherthis view is correct; and all modern entomologists who have given anyspecial study to fleas are agreed that they are sufficiently unlikeany other livinginsects to deserve a place in an order by themselves.To this order the name _Siphonaptera_ has been given: which means thatthe insects comprised in it areprovided with sucking mouths and aredestitute of wings. Another name for the order is Aphaniptera, but thisis gradually falling into disuse. Linnæus (1758) only"}

 M E E T   J O E   B LA C K Screenplay by Bo Goldman -------------------------------------------------------------- EXT. ANNANDALE-ON-HUDSON, N.Y. - 4:00AM A patch of water. PULL BACK TO REVEAL more water.  BACK FARTHER TO REVEAL an expanse of river, up the bank to massive lawn running up to agreat, classic Hudson River manor house; the country estate of William Parrish. INT. PARRISH COUNTRY ESTATE - 4:00 AM MOVE THROUGH Frenchdoors that lead from a wide terrace into an expansive living room, DOWN wide corridors lined with Bierstadt and Cole paintings, the Hudson River School, mistsand trees and small boats and distant humans. INT. PARRISH BEDROOM - 4:00 AM MOVE THROUGH the doorway to reveal a master bedroom furnish-ed with exquisite simplicity, revelatory of its sleeping occupant, WILLIAM PARRISH, 64, a warm but commanding face, a man of maturity yet who exudes a glowof enthusiasm. Although asleep, there is an uncommon restlessness to him. Parrish grips his upper arm as if in pain.  Now the severity of the pain wakes him, hesqueezes his arm.  The wind comes up, through the wind a VOICE is heard distantly, or is it the wind itself:      VOICE (V.O.) ... Yes.

In a good way.\"- Pat Cadigan,Author of Synners--\"Cory Doctorow is just far enough ahead of the game to give you that authenticchill of the future, and closeenough to home for us to know that he's talkingabout where we live as well as where we're going to live; a connected worldfull of disconnected people. One ofwhom is about to lobotomise himself throughthe nostril with a pencil. Funny as hell and sharp as steel.\"- Warren Ellis,Author ofTransmetropolitan--=======================A note about this book:=======================Last year, in January 2003, my first novel [http://craphound.com/down ] cameout. I was 31 years old, and I'd been calling myself a novelist since the age of12. It was the storied dream-of-a-lifetime,come-true-at-last. I was and amproud as hell of that book, even though it is just one book among many releasedlast year, better than some, poorer than others;and even though the print-run(which sold out very quickly!) though generous by science fiction standards,hardly qualifies it as a work of mass entertainment.Thething that's extraordinary about that first novel is that it was releasedunder terms governed by a Creative Commons [ http://creativecommons.org ]license thatallowed my readers to copy the book freely and distribute it farand wide. Hundreds of thousands of copies of the book were made and distributedthis way.*Hundreds* of *thousands*.Today, I release my second novel, and my third [http://www.argosymag.com/NextIssue.html ], a collaboration with Charlie Strossisdue any day, and two [http://www.fantasticmetropolis.com/show.html?fn.preview_doctorow ] more [http://www.craphound.com/usrbingodexcerpt.txt ] areunder contract. My career asa novelist is now well underway -- in other words, I am firmly afoot on a longroad that stretches into the future: my future, sciencefiction's future,publishing's future and the future of the world.The future is my business, more or less. I'm a science fiction writer. One wayto know the future is tolook good and hard at the present. Here's a thing I'venoticed about the present: MORE PEOPLE ARE READING MORE WORDS OFF OF MORESCREENS THAN EVERBEFORE. Here's another thing I've noticed about the present:FEWER PEOPLE ARE READING FEWER WORDS OFF OF FEWER PAGES THAN EVER BEFORE.Thatdoesn't mean that the book is *dying* -- no more than the advent of the printingpress and the de-emphasis of Bible-copying monks meant that the book wasdying-- but it does mean that the book is changing. I think that *literature* isalive and well: we're reading our brains out! I just think that the complexsocialpractice of \"book\" -- of which a bunch of paper pages between two coversis the mere expression -- is transforming and will transform further.I intend on figuringout what it's transforming into. I intend on figuring outthe way that some writers -- that *this writer*, right here, wearing myunderwear -- is going to get rich andfamous from his craft. I intend onfiguring out how *this writer's* words can become part of the social discourse,can be relevant in the way that literature at itsbest can be.I don't know what the future of book looks like. To figure it out, I'm doingsome pretty basic science. I'm peering into this opaque, inscrutable systemofpublishing as it sits in the year 2004, and I'm making a perturbation. I'mstirring the pot to see what surfaces, so that I can see if the system revealsitself to meany more thoroughly as it roils. Once that happens, maybe I'll beable to formulate an hypothesis and try an experiment or two and maybe -- justmaybe -- I'll getto the bottom of book-in-2004 and beat the competition tomaking it work, and maybe I'll go home with all (or most) of the marbles.It's a long shot, but I'm apretty sharp guy, and I know as much about thisstuff as anyone out there. More to the point, trying stuff and doing researchyields a non-zero chance of success.The alternatives -- sitting pat, or worse,getting into a moral panic about \"piracy\" and accusing the readers who areblazing new trail of \"the moral equivalent ofshoplifting\" -- have a *zero*percent chance of success.Most artists never \"succeed\" in the sense of attaining fame and modest fortune.A career in the arts is arisky long-shot kind of business. I'm doing what I canto sweeten my odds.So here we are, and here is novel number two, a book called Eastern StandardTribe,which you can walk into shops all over the world and buy [http://craphound.com/est/buy.php ] as a physical artifact -- a very nicephysical artifact, designed byChesley-award-winning art director Irene Galloand her designer Shelley Eshkar, published by Tor Books, a huge, profit-makingarm of an enormous, multinationalpublishing concern. Tor is watching whathappens to this book nearly as keenly as I am, because we're all very interestedin what the book is turning into.To thatend, here is the book as a non-physical artifact. A file. A bunch oftext, slithery bits that can cross the world in an instant, using the Internet,a tool designed tocopy things very quickly from one place to another; and usingpersonal computers, tools designed to slice, dice and rearrange collections ofbits. These toolsdemand that their users copy and slice and dice -- rip, mixand burn! -- and that's what I'm hoping you will do with this.Not (just) because I'm a swell guy, abig-hearted slob. Not because Tor is runby addlepated dot-com refugees who have been sold some snake-oil about thee-book revolution. Because you -- thereaders, the slicers, dicers and copiers-- hold in your collective action the secret of the future of publishing.Writers are a dime a dozen. Everybody's got a novel inher or him. Readers are aprecious commodity. You've got all the money and all the attention and you runthe word-of-mouth network that marks the differencebetween a little book, soonforgotten, and a book that becomes a lasting piece of posterity for its author,changing the world in some meaningful way.I'munashamedly exploiting your imagination. Imagine me a new practice of book,readers. Take this novel and pass it from inbox to inbox, through your IMclients,over P2P networks. Put it on webservers. Convert it to weird, obscureebook formats. Show me -- and my colleagues, and my publisher -- what the futureof booklooks like.I'll keep on writing them if you keep on reading them. But as cool and wonderfulas writing is, it's not half so cool as inventing the future.

KER_If the Professor of Poetry in the University of Oxford has notforgotten the rock whence he was hewn, this simple story may give himanhour of entertainment. I offer it to you because I think you have met myfriend Dickson McCunn, and I dare to hope that you may even in your manysojourningsin the Westlands have encountered one or other of theGorbals Die-Hards. If you share my kindly feeling for Dickson, you willbe interested in some facts which Ihave lately ascertained about hisancestry. In his veins there flows a portion of the redoubtable blood ofthe Nicol Jarvies. When the Bailie, you remember,returned from hisjourney to Rob Roy beyond the Highland Line, he espoused his housekeeperMattie, \"an honest man's daughter and a near cousin o' the Lairdo'Limmerfield.\" The union was blessed with a son, who succeeded to theBailie's business and in due course begat daughters, one of whom marrieda certainEbenezer McCunn, of whom there is record in the archives ofthe Hammermen of Glasgow. Ebenezer's grandson, Peter by name, wasProvost of Kirkintilloch, andhis second son was the father of my heroby his marriage with Robina Dickson, eldest daughter of one RobertDickson, a tenant-farmer in the Lennox. So there arecoloured threads inMr. McCunn's pedigree, and, like the Bailie, he can count kin, should hewish, with Rob Roy himself through \"the auld wife ayont the fireatStuckavrallachan.\"__Such as it is, I dedicate to you the story, and ask for no betterverdict on it than that of that profound critic of life and literature,Mr.Huckleberry Finn, who observed of the_ Pilgrim's Progress, _that he\"considered the statements interesting, but steep.\"_J.B.CONTENTS                                                    PAGE  PROLOGUE                                            11  CHAPTER     I HOW A RETIRED PROVISION MERCHANTFELT        THE IMPULSE OF SPRING                         17    II OF MR.

What shall we talk about?\"The young man did not answer at once, for his gaze was held by her face.He had never dreamed that the gawkyand rather plain little girl whom hehad romped with long ago in Paris would grow into such a being. Theclean delicate lines of her figure, the exquisite purecolouring of hairand skin, the charming young arrogance of the eyes--this was beauty, hereflected, a miracle, a revelation. Her virginal fineness and herdress,which was the tint of pale fire, gave her the air of a creature of iceand flame.\"About yourself, please, Saskia,\" he said. \"Are you happy now that youare agrown-up lady?\"\"Happy!\" Her voice had a thrill in it like music, frosty music. \"Thedays are far too short. I grudge the hours when I must sleep. They sayit is sadfor me to make my début in a time of war. But the world isvery kind to me, and after all it is a victorious war for our Russia.And listen to this, Quentin.To-morrow I am to be allowed to beginnursing at the Alexander Hospital. What do you think of that?\"The time was January, 1916, and the place a room in thegreat NirskiPalace. No hint of war, no breath from the snowy streets, entered thatcurious chamber where Prince Peter Nirski kept some of the chief of hisfamoustreasures. It was notable for its lack of drapery andupholstering--only a sofa or two and a few fine rugs on the cedar floor.The walls were of a green marbleveined like malachite, the ceiling wasof darker marble inlaid with white intaglios. Scattered everywhere weretables and cabinets laden with celadon china, andcarved jade, andivories, and shimmering Persian and Rhodian vessels. In all the roomthere was scarcely anything of metal and no touch of gilding or brightcolour.The light came from green alabaster censers, and the place swamin a cold green radiance like some cavern below the sea. The air waswarm and scented, andthough it was very quiet there, a hum of voicesand the strains of dance music drifted to it from the pillared corridorin which could be seen the glare of lights fromthe great ballroombeyond.The young man had a thin face with lines of suffering round the mouthand eyes. The warm room had given him a high colour, whichincreasedhis air of fragility. He felt a little choked by the place, which seemedto him for both body and mind a hot-house, though he knew very well thatthe NirskiPalace on this gala evening was in no way typical of the landor its masters. Only a week ago he had been eating black bread with itsowner in a hut on theVolhynian front.\"You have become amazing, Saskia,\" he said. \"I won't pay my oldplayfellow compliments; besides, you must be tired of them. I wishyouhappiness all the day long like a fairy-tale Princess. But a crock likeme can't do much to help you to it. The service seems to be the wrongway round, for hereyou are wasting your time talking to me.\"She put her hand on his. \"Poor Quentin! Is the leg very bad?\"He laughed. \"Oh, no. It's mending famously. I'll be able toget aboutwithout a stick in another month, and then you've got to teach me allthe new dances.\"The jigging music of a two-step floated down the corridor. Itmade theyoung man's brow contract, for it brought to him a vision of dead facesin the gloom of a November dusk. He had once had a friend who used towhistlethat air, and he had seen him die in the Hollebeke mud. Therewas something _macabre_ in the tune.... He was surely morbid thisevening, for there seemedsomething _macabre_ about the house, the room,the dancing, all Russia.... These last days he had suffered from a senseof calamity impending, of a dark curtaindrawing down upon a splendidworld. They didn't agree with him at the Embassy, but he could not getrid of the notion.The girl saw his sudden abstraction.\"Whatare you thinking about?\" she asked. It had been her favouritequestion as a child.\"I was thinking that I rather wished you were still in Paris.\"\"But why?\"\"Because Ithink you would be safer.\"\"Oh, what nonsense, Quentin dear! Where should I be safe if not in myown Russia, where I have friends--oh, so many, and tribes andtribes ofrelations? It is France and England that are unsafe with the German gunsgrumbling at their doors.... My complaint is that my life is toocosseted andpadded. I am too secure, and I do not want to be secure.\"The young man lifted a heavy casket from a table at his elbow. It was ofdark green imperial jade, with awonderfully carved lid. He took off thelid and picked up three small oddments of ivory--a priest with a beard,a tiny soldier and a draught-ox. Putting the three in atriangle, hebalanced the jade box on them.\"Look, Saskia! If you were living inside that box you would think itvery secure. You would note the thickness of thewalls and the hardnessof the stone, and you would dream away in a peaceful green dusk. But allthe time it would be held up by trifles--brittle trifles.\"She shookher head. \"You do not understand. You cannot understand. Weare a very old and strong people with roots deep, deep in the earth.\"\"Please God you are right,\" hesaid. \"But, Saskia, you know that if Ican ever serve you, you have only to command me. Now I can do no morefor you than the mouse for the lion--at thebeginning of the story. Butthe story had an end, you remember, and some day it may be in my powerto help you. Promise to send for me.\"The girl laughed"}

Here the trees, timber orfruit-bearing, as the case may be,make the wayside hedges ragged bytheir drip and shade, stretching over the road with easefulhorizontality, as if they found the unsubstantial air anadequatesupport for their limbs.  At one place, where a hill is crossed, thelargest of the woods shows itself bisected by the high-way, as the headof thick hair isbisected by the white line of its parting.  The spotis lonely.The physiognomy of a deserted highway expresses solitude to a degreethat is not reached by meredales or downs, and bespeaks a tomb-likestillness more emphatic than that of glades and pools. The contrast ofwhat is with what might be probably accounts forthis.  To step, forinstance, at the place under notice, from the hedge of the plantationinto the adjoining pale thoroughfare, and pause amid its emptiness foramoment, was to exchange by the act of a single stride the simpleabsence of human companionship for an incubus of the forlorn.At this spot, on the loweringevening of a by-gone winter's day, therestood a man who had entered upon the scene much in the aforesaidmanner.  Alighting into the road from a stile hard by,he, though by nomeans a \"chosen vessel\" for impressions, was temporarily influenced bysome such feeling of being suddenly more alone than before hehademerged upon the highway.It could be seen by a glance at his rather finical style of dress thathe did not belong to the country proper; and from his air, afterawhile, that though there might be a sombre beauty in the scenery, musicin the breeze, and a wan procession of coaching ghosts in the sentimentof this oldturnpike-road, he was mainly puzzled about the way.  Thedead men's work that had been expended in climbing that hill, theblistered soles that had trodden it,and the tears that had wetted it,were not his concern; for fate had given him no time for any butpractical things.He looked north and south, and mechanicallyprodded the ground with hiswalking-stick.  A closer glance at his face corroborated the testimonyof his clothes.  It was self-complacent, yet there was smallapparentground for such complacence.  Nothing irradiated it; to the eye of themagician in character, if not to the ordinary observer, the expressionenthronedthere was absolute submission to and belief in a littleassortment of forms and habitudes.At first not a soul appeared who could enlighten him as he desired,orseemed likely to appear that night.  But presently a slight noise oflaboring wheels and the steady dig of a horse's shoe-tips becameaudible; and there loomed inthe notch of the hill and plantation thatthe road formed here at the summit a carrier's van drawn by a singlehorse.  When it got nearer, he said, with some reliefto himself, \"'TisMrs. Dollery's--this will help me.\"The vehicle was half full of passengers, mostly women.  He held up hisstick at its approach, and the woman whowas driving drew rein.\"I've been trying to find a short way to Little Hintock this lasthalf-hour, Mrs. Dollery,\" he said.  \"But though I've been to GreatHintock andHintock House half a dozen times I am at fault about thesmall village.  You can help me, I dare say?\"She assured him that she could--that as she went to GreatHintock hervan passed near it--that it was only up the lane that branched out ofthe lane into which she was about to turn--just ahead. \"Though,\"continued Mrs.Dollery, \"'tis such a little small place that, as a towngentleman, you'd need have a candle and lantern to find it if ye don'tknow where 'tis.  Bedad! I wouldn't livethere if they'd pay me to.Now at Great Hintock you do see the world a bit.\"He mounted and sat beside her, with his feet outside, where they wereever and anonbrushed over by the horse's tail.This van, driven and owned by Mrs. Dollery, was rather a movableattachment of the roadway than an extraneous object, to thosewho knewit well.  The old horse, whose hair was of the roughness and color ofheather, whose leg-joints, shoulders, and hoofs were distorted byharness anddrudgery from colthood--though if all had their rights, heought, symmetrical in outline, to have been picking the herbage of someEastern plain instead of tugginghere--had trodden this road almostdaily for twenty years.  Even his subjection was not made congruousthroughout, for the harness being too short, his tail wasnot drawnthrough the crupper, so that the breeching slipped awkwardly to oneside.  He knew every subtle incline of the seven or eight miles ofground betweenHintock and Sherton Abbas--the market-town to which hejourneyed--as accurately as any surveyor could have learned it by aDumpy level.The vehicle had asquare black tilt which nodded with the motion of thewheels, and at a point in it over the driver's head was a hook to whichthe reins were hitched at times, whenthey formed a catenary curve fromthe horse's shoulders.  Somewhere about the axles was a loose chain,whose only known purpose was to clink as it went.  Mrs.Dollery, havingto hop up and down many times in the service of her passengers, wore,especially in windy weather, short leggings under her gown formodesty'ssake, and instead of a bonnet a felt hat tied down with ahandkerchief, to guard against an earache to which she was frequentlysubject.  In the rear of the van wasa glass window, which she cleanedwith her pocket-handkerchief every market-day before starting.  Lookingat the van from the back, the spectator could thus seethrough itsinterior a square piece of the same sky and landscape that he sawwithout, but intruded on by the profiles of the seated passengers, who,as theyrumbled onward, their lips moving and heads nodding in animatedprivate converse, remained in happy unconsciousness that theirmannerisms and facialpeculiarities were sharply defined to the publiceye.This hour of coming home from market was the happy one, if not thehappiest, of the week for them.  Snuglyensconced under the tilt, theycould forget the sorrows of the world without, and survey life andrecapitulate the incidents of the day with placid smiles.Thepassengers in the back part formed a group to themselves, and whilethe new-comer spoke to the proprietress, they indulged in aconfidential chat about him asabout other people, which the noise ofthe van rendered inaudible to himself and Mrs. Dollery, sitting forward.\"'Tis Barber Percombe--he that's got the waxenwoman in his window atthe top of Abbey Street,\" said one.  \"What business can bring him fromhis shop out here at this time and not a journeyman hair-cutter,but amaster-barber that's left off his pole because 'tis not genteel!\"They listened to his conversation, but Mr. Percombe, though he hadnodded and spokengenially, seemed indisposed to gratify the curiositywhich he had aroused; and the unrestrained flow of ideas which hadanimated the inside of the van before hisarrival was checkedthenceforward.Thus they rode on till they turned into a half-invisible little lane,whence, as it reached the verge of an eminence, could bediscerned inthe dusk, about half a mile to the right, gardens and orchards sunk ina concave, and, as it were, snipped out of the woodland.  Fromthisself-contained place rose in stealthy silence tall stems of smoke,which the eye of imagination could trace downward to their root onquiet hearth-stonesfestooned overhead with hams and flitches.  It wasone of those sequestered spots outside the gates of the world where mayusually be found more meditationthan action, and more passivity thanmeditation; where reasoning proceeds on narrow premises, and results ininferences wildly imaginative; yet where, from timeto time, no lessthan in other places, dramas of a grandeur and unity truly Sophocleanare enacted in the real, by virtue of the concentrated passions andcloselyknit interdependence of the lives therein.This place was the Little Hintock of the master-barber's search. Thecoming night gradually obscured the smoke of thechimneys, but theposition of the sequestered little world could still be distinguishedby a few faint lights, winking more or less ineffectually through theleaflessboughs, and the undiscerned songsters they bore, in the formof balls of feathers, at roost among them.Out of the lane followed by the van branched a yet smallerlane, at thecorner of which the barber alighted, Mrs. Dollery's van going on to thelarger village, whose superiority to the despised smaller one as anexemplar ofthe world's movements was not particularly apparent in itsmeans of approach.\"A very clever and learned young doctor, who, they say, is in leaguewith the devil,lives in the place you be going to--not because there'sanybody for'n to cure there, but because 'tis the middle of hisdistrict.\"The observation was flung at thebarber by one of the women at parting,as a last attempt to get at his errand that way.But he made no reply, and without further pause the pedestrianplungedtowards the umbrageous nook, and paced cautiously over the dead leaveswhich nearly buried the road or street of the hamlet. As very fewpeople exceptthemselves passed this way after dark, a majority of thedenizens of Little Hintock deemed window-curtains unnecessary; and onthis account Mr. Percombe madeit his business to stop opposite thecasements of each cottage that he came to, with a demeanor which showedthat he was endeavoring to conjecture, from thepersons and things heobserved within, the whereabouts of somebody or other who resided here.Only the smaller dwellings interested him; one or two houses,whosesize, antiquity, and rambling appurtenances signified thatnotwithstanding their remoteness they must formerly have been, if theywere not still, inhabitedby people of a certain social standing, beingneglected by him entirely.  Smells of pomace, and the hiss offermenting cider, which reached him from the backquarters of othertenements, revealed the recent occupation of some of the inhabitants,and joined with the scent of decay from the perishing leaves underfoot.Halfa dozen dwellings were passed without result.  The next, whichstood opposite a tall tree, was in an exceptional state of radiance,the flickering brightness from theinside shining up the chimney andmaking a luminous mist of the emerging smoke.  The interior, as seenthrough the window, caused him to draw up with aterminative air andwatch.  The house was rather large for a cottage, and the door, whichopened immediately into the living-room, stood ajar, so that a ribbonoflight fell through the opening into the dark atmosphere without.Every now and then a moth, decrepit from the late season, would flitfor a moment across the"}

HTML version by Al Haines.THEGAMBLERByFYODOR DOSTOYEVSKYTranslated by C. J. HogarthIAt length I returned from two weeks leave of absence to find that mypatrons had arrived threedays ago in Roulettenberg. I received fromthem a welcome quite different to that which I had expected. TheGeneral eyed me coldly, greeted me in ratherhaughty fashion, anddismissed me to pay my respects to his sister. It was clear that fromSOMEWHERE money had been acquired. I thought I could even detectacertain shamefacedness in the General's glance. Maria Philipovna, too,seemed distraught, and conversed with me with an air of detachment.Nevertheless, shetook the money which I handed to her, counted it, andlistened to what I had to tell. To luncheon there were expected thatday a Monsieur Mezentsov, a Frenchlady, and an Englishman; for,whenever money was in hand, a banquet in Muscovite style was alwaysgiven. Polina Alexandrovna, on seeing me, inquired why Ihad been solong away. Then, without waiting for an answer, she departed. Evidentlythis was not mere accident, and I felt that I must throw some lightuponmatters. It was high time that I did so.I was assigned a small room on the fourth floor of the hotel (for youmust know that I belonged to the General's suite). Sofar as I couldsee, the party had already gained some notoriety in the place, whichhad come to look upon the General as a Russian nobleman of greatwealth.Indeed, even before luncheon he charged me, among other things,to get two thousand-franc notes changed for him at the hotel counter,which put us in aposition to be thought millionaires at all events fora week! Later, I was about to take Mischa and Nadia for a walk when asummons reached me from the staircasethat I must attend the General.He began by deigning to inquire of me where I was going to take thechildren; and as he did so, I could see that he failed to lookme inthe eyes. He WANTED to do so, but each time was met by me with such afixed, disrespectful stare that he desisted in confusion. In pompouslanguage,however, which jumbled one sentence into another, and atlength grew disconnected, he gave me to understand that I was to leadthe children altogether awayfrom the Casino, and out into the park.Finally his anger exploded, and he added sharply:\"I suppose you would like to take them to the Casino to playroulette?Well, excuse my speaking so plainly, but I know how addicted you are togambling. Though I am not your mentor, nor wish to be, at least I havea right torequire that you shall not actually compromise me.\"\"I have no money for gambling,\" I quietly replied.\"But you will soon be in receipt of some,\" retorted theGeneral,reddening a little as he dived into his writing desk and appliedhimself to a memorandum book. From it he saw that he had 120 roubles ofmine in hiskeeping.\"Let us calculate,\" he went on. \"We must translate these roubles intothalers. Here--take 100 thalers, as a round sum. The rest will be safein myhands.\"In silence I took the money.\"You must not be offended at what I say,\" he continued. \"You are tootouchy about these things. What I have said I have saidmerely as awarning. To do so is no more than my right.\"When returning home with the children before luncheon, I met acavalcade of our party riding to viewsome ruins. Two splendidcarriages, magnificently horsed, with Mlle. Blanche, Maria Philipovna,and Polina Alexandrovna in one of them, and the Frenchman,theEnglishman, and the General in attendance on horseback! The passers-bystopped to stare at them, for the effect was splendid--the Generalcould not haveimproved upon it. I calculated that, with the 4000francs which I had brought with me, added to what my patrons seemedalready to have acquired, the party mustbe in possession of at least7000 or 8000 francs--though that would be none too much for Mlle.Blanche, who, with her mother and the Frenchman, was alsolodging inour hotel. The latter gentleman was called by the lacqueys \"Monsieur leComte,\" and Mlle. Blanche's mother was dubbed \"Madame la Comtesse.\"Perhapsin very truth they WERE \"Comte et Comtesse.\"I knew that \"Monsieur le Comte\" would take no notice of me when we metat dinner, as also that the General wouldnot dream of introducing us,nor of recommending me to the \"Comte.\" However, the latter had livedawhile in Russia, and knew that the person referred to as an\"uchitel\"is never looked upon as a bird of fine feather. Of course, strictlyspeaking, he knew me; but I was an uninvited guest at the luncheon--theGeneral hadforgotten to arrange otherwise, or I should have beendispatched to dine at the table d'hote. Nevertheless, I presentedmyself in such guise that the Generallooked at me with a touch ofapproval; and, though the good Maria Philipovna was for showing me myplace, the fact of my having previously met the Englishman,Mr. Astley,saved me, and thenceforward I figured as one of the company.This strange Englishman I had met first in Prussia, where we hadhappened to sitvis-a-vis in a railway train in which I was travellingto overtake our party; while, later, I had run across him in France,and again in Switzerland--twice within thespace of two weeks! Tothink, therefore, that I should suddenly encounter him again here, inRoulettenberg! Never in my life had I known a more retiring man, forhewas shy to the pitch of imbecility, yet well aware of the fact (for hewas no fool). At the same time, he was a gentle, amiable sort of anindividual, and, even onour first encounter in Prussia I had contrivedto draw him out, and he had told me that he had just been to the NorthCape, and was now anxious to visit the fair atNizhni Novgorod. How hehad come to make the General's acquaintance I do not know, but,apparently, he was much struck with Polina. Also, he was delightedthatI should sit next him at table, for he appeared to look upon me as hisbosom friend.During the meal the Frenchman was in great feather: he was discursiveandpompous to every one. In Moscow too, I remembered, he had blown agreat many bubbles. Interminably he discoursed on finance and Russianpolitics, andthough, at times, the General made feints to contradicthim, he did so humbly, and as though wishing not wholly to lose sightof his own dignity.For myself, I wasin a curious frame of mind. Even before luncheon washalf finished I had asked myself the old, eternal question: \"WHY do Icontinue to dance attendance upon theGeneral, instead of having lefthim and his family long ago?\" Every now and then I would glance atPolina Alexandrovna, but she paid me no attention; untileventually Ibecame so irritated that I decided to play the boor.First of all I suddenly, and for no reason whatever, plunged loudly andgratuitously into the generalconversation. Above everything I wantedto pick a quarrel with the Frenchman; and, with that end in view Iturned to the General, and exclaimed in an overbearingsort ofway--indeed, I think that I actually interrupted him--that that summerit had been almost impossible for a Russian to dine anywhere at tablesd'hote. TheGeneral bent upon me a glance of astonishment.\"If one is a man of self-respect,\" I went on, \"one risks abuse by sodoing, and is forced to put up with insults ofevery kind. Both atParis and on the Rhine, and even in Switzerland--there are so manyPoles, with their sympathisers, the French, at these tables d'hote thatonecannot get a word in edgeways if one happens only to be a Russian.\"This I said in French. The General eyed me doubtfully, for he did notknow whether to beangry or merely to feel surprised that I should sofar forget myself.\"Of course, one always learns SOMETHING EVERYWHERE,\" said the Frenchmanin a careless,contemptuous sort of tone.\"In Paris, too, I had a dispute with a Pole,\" I continued, \"and thenwith a French officer who supported him. After that a section oftheFrenchmen present took my part. They did so as soon as I told them thestory of how once I threatened to spit into Monsignor's coffee.\"\"To spit into it?\" theGeneral inquired with grave disapproval in histone, and a stare, of astonishment, while the Frenchman looked at meunbelievingly.\"Just so,\" I replied. \"You mustknow that, on one occasion, when, fortwo days, I had felt certain that at any moment I might have to departfor Rome on business, I repaired to the Embassy ofthe Holy See inParis, to have my passport visaed. There I encountered a sacristan ofabout fifty, and a man dry and cold of mien. After listening politely,but withgreat reserve, to my account of myself, this sacristan askedme to wait a little. I was in a great hurry to depart, but of course Isat down, pulled out a copy ofL'Opinion Nationale, and fell to readingan extraordinary piece of invective against Russia which it happened tocontain. As I was thus engaged I heard some oneenter an adjoining roomand ask for Monsignor; after which I saw the sacristan make a low bowto the visitor, and then another bow as the visitor took his leave.Iventured to remind the good man of my own business also; whereupon,with an expression of, if anything, increased dryness, he again askedme to wait. Soon athird visitor arrived who, like myself, had come onbusiness (he was an Austrian of some sort); and as soon as ever he hadstated his errand he was conductedupstairs! This made me very angry. Irose, approached the sacristan, and told him that, since Monsignor wasreceiving callers, his lordship might just as well finishoff my affairas well. Upon this the sacristan shrunk back in astonishment. It simplypassed his understanding that any insignificant Russian should dare tocomparehimself with other visitors of Monsignor's! In a tone of theutmost effrontery, as though he were delighted to have a chance ofinsulting me, he looked me up anddown, and then said: \"Do you supposethat Monsignor is going to put aside his coffee for YOU?\" But I onlycried the louder: \"Let me tell you that I am going to SPITinto thatcoffee! Yes, and if you do not get me my passport visaed this veryminute, I shall take it to Monsignor myself.\"\"What? While he is engaged with aCardinal?\" screeched the sacristan,again shrinking back in horror. Then, rushing to the door, he spreadout his arms as though he would rather die than let meenter.Thereupon I declared that I was a heretic and a barbarian--\"Je suisheretique et barbare,\" I said, \"and that these archbishops andcardinals and monsignors,and the rest of them, meant nothing at all tome. In a word, I showed him that I was not going to give way. He lookedat me with an air of infinite resentment.Then he snatched up mypassport, and departed with it upstairs. A minute later the passporthad been visaed! Here it is now, if you care to see it,\"--and Ipulledout the document, and exhibited the Roman visa.\"But--\" the General began.\"What really saved you was the fact that you proclaimed yourself aheretic and a"}

Well, not such a very bad, buta prettybad boy; and I ought to know, for I am, or rather I was, that boymyself.Lest the title should mislead the reader, I hasten to assure him herethat I have nodark confessions to make. I call my story the story ofa bad boy, partly to distinguish myself from those faultless younggentlemen who generally figure innarratives of this kind, and partlybecause I really was not a cherub. I may truthfully say I was anamiable, impulsive lad, blessed with fine digestive powers, andnohypocrite. I didn't want to be an angel and with the angels stand; Ididn't think the missionary tracts presented to me by the Rev. WibirdHawkins were half sonice as Robinson Crusoe; and I didn't send mylittle pocket-money to the natives of the Feejee Islands, but spentit royally in peppermint-drops and taffy candy. Inshort, I was a realhuman boy, such as you may meet anywhere in New England, and no morelike the impossible boy in a storybook than a sound orange is likeonethat has been sucked dry. But let us begin at the beginning.Whenever a new scholar came to our school, I used to confront him atrecess with the followingwords: \"My name's Tom Bailey; what's yourname?\" If the name struck me favorably, I shook hands with the newpupil cordially; but if it didn't, I would turn onmy heel, for I wasparticular on this point. Such names as Higgins, Wiggins, and Sprigginswere deadly affronts to my ear; while Langdon, Wallace, Blake, andthelike, were passwords to my confidence and esteem.Ah me! some of those dear fellows are rather elderly boys by thistime--lawyers, merchants, sea-captains,soldiers, authors, what not? PhilAdams (a special good name that Adams) is consul at Shanghai, where Ipicture him to myself with his head closely shaved--henever had too muchhair--and a long pigtail banging down behind. He is married, I hear;and I hope he and she that was Miss Wang Wang are very happytogether,sitting cross-legged over their diminutive cups of tea in a skybluetower hung with bells. It is so I think of him; to me he is hencefortha jewelledmandarin, talking nothing but broken China. Whitcomb is ajudge, sedate and wise, with spectacles balanced on the bridge of thatremarkable nose which, informer days, was so plentifully sprinkled withfreckles that the boys christened him Pepper Whitcomb. Just to thinkof little Pepper Whitcomb being a judge! Whatwould he do to me now, Iwonder, if I were to sing out \"Pepper!\" some day in court? Fred Langdonis in California, in the native-wine business--he used to makethe bestlicorice-water I ever tasted! Binny Wallace sleeps in the Old SouthBurying-Ground; and Jack Harris, too, is dead--Harris, who commanded usboys, of old,in the famous snow-ball battles of Slatter's Hill. Was ityesterday I saw him at the head of his regiment on its way to join theshattered Army of the Potomac? Notyesterday, but six years ago. It wasat the battle of the Seven Pines. Gallant Jack Harris, that never drewrein until he had dashed into the Rebel battery! So theyfound him--lyingacross the enemy's guns.How we have parted, and wandered, and married, and died! I wonder whathas become of all the boys who went to theTemple Grammar School atRivermouth when I was a youngster? \"All, all are gone, the old familiarfaces!\"It is with no ungentle hand I summon them back, for amoment, from thatPast which has closed upon them and upon me. How pleasantly they liveagain in my memory! Happy, magical Past, in whose fairy atmosphereevenConway, mine ancient foe, stands forth transfigured, with a sort ofdreamy glory encircling his bright red hair!With the old school formula I commence thesesketches of my boyhood. Myname is Tom Bailey; what is yours, gentle reader? I take for grantedit is neither Wiggins nor Spriggins, and that we shall get onfamouslytogether, and be capital friends forever.Chapter Two--In Which I Entertain Peculiar ViewsI was born at Rivermouth, but, before I had a chance tobecome very wellacquainted with that pretty New England town, my parents removed to NewOrleans, where my father invested his money so securely in thebankingbusiness that he was never able to get any of it out again. But of thishereafter.I was only eighteen months old at the time of the removal, and itdidn'tmake much difference to me where I was, because I was so small; butseveral years later, when my father proposed to take me North to beeducated, I hadmy own peculiar views on the subject. I instantly kickedover the little Negro boy who happened to be standing by me at themoment, and, stamping my footviolently on the floor of the piazza,declared that I would not be taken away to live among a lot of Yankees!You see I was what is called \"a Northern man withSouthern principles.\"I had no recollection of New England: my earliest memories wereconnected with the South, with Aunt Chloe, my old Negro nurse, andwiththe great ill-kept garden in the centre of which stood our house--awhitewashed stone house it was, with wide verandas--shut out from thestreet by lines oforange, fig, and magnolia trees. I knew I was bornat the North, but hoped nobody would find it out. I looked upon themisfortune as something so shrouded bytime and distance that maybenobody remembered it. I never told my schoolmates I was a Yankee,because they talked about the Yankees in such a scornful wayit mademe feel that it was quite a disgrace not to be born in Louisiana, or atleast in one of the Border States. And this impression was strengthenedby AuntChloe, who said, \"dar wasn't no gentl'men in the Norf no way,\"and on one occasion terrified me beyond measure by declaring that,\"if any of dem mean whitestried to git her away from marster, she wasjes'gwine to knock 'em on de head wid a gourd!\"The way this poor creature's eyes flashed, and the tragic air withwhichshe struck at an imaginary \"mean white,\" are among the most vivid thingsin my memory of those days.To be frank, my idea of the North was about asaccurate as thatentertained by the well-educated Englishmen of the present dayconcerning America. I supposed the inhabitants were divided intotwoclasses--Indians and white people; that the Indians occasionally dasheddown on New York, and scalped any woman or child (giving the preferenceto children)whom they caught lingering in the outskirts afternightfall; that the white men were either hunters or schoolmasters, andthat it was winter pretty much all theyear round. The prevailing styleof architecture I took to be log-cabins.With this delightful picture of Northern civilization in my eye, thereader will easilyunderstand my terror at the bare thought of beingtransported to Rivermouth to school, and possibly will forgive me forkicking over little black Sam, and otherwisemisconducting myself, whenmy father announced his determination to me. As for kicking little Sam--Ialways did that, more or less gently, when anything wentwrong with me.My father was greatly perplexed and troubled by this unusually violentoutbreak, and especially by the real consternation which he saw writteninevery line of my countenance. As little black Sam picked himself up,my father took my hand in his and led me thoughtfully to the library.I can see him now as heleaned back in the bamboo chair and questionedme. He appeared strangely agitated on learning the nature of myobjections to going North, and proceeded atonce to knock down all mypine log houses, and scatter all the Indian tribes with which I hadpopulated the greater portion of the Eastern and Middle States.\"Whoon earth, Tom, has filled your brain with such silly stories?\"asked my father, wiping the tears from his eyes.\"Aunt Chloe, sir; she told me.\"\"And you really thoughtyour grandfather wore a blanket embroidered withbeads, and ornamented his leggins with the scalps of his enemies?\"\"Well, sir, I didn't think that exactly.\"\"Didn'tthink that exactly? Tom, you will be the death of me.\"He hid his face in his handkerchief, and, when he looked up, he seemedto have been suffering acutely. I wasdeeply moved myself, though I didnot clearly understand what I had said or done to cause him to feel sobadly. Perhaps I had hurt his feelings by thinking it evenpossible thatGrandfather Nutter was an Indian warrior.My father devoted that evening and several subsequent evenings to givingme a clear and succinct accountof New England; its early struggles, itsprogress, and its present condition--faint and confused glimmeringsof all which I had obtained at school, where history hadnever been afavorite pursuit of mine.I was no longer unwilling to go North; on the contrary, the proposedjourney to a new world full of wonders kept me awakenights. I promisedmyself all sorts of fun and adventures, though I was not entirely atrest in my mind touching the savages, and secretly resolved to go onboardthe ship--the journey was to be made by sea--with a certain littlebrass pistol in my trousers-pocket, in case of any difficulty with thetribes when we landed atBoston.I couldn't get the Indian out of my head. Only a short time previouslythe Cherokees--or was it the Camanches?--had been removed fromtheirhunting-grounds in Arkansas; and in the wilds of the Southwest the redmen were still a source of terror to the border settlers. \"Troublewith the Indians\" wasthe staple news from Florida published in the NewOrleans papers. We were constantly hearing of travellers being attackedand murdered in the interior of thatState. If these things were done inFlorida, why not in Massachusetts?Yet long before the sailing day arrived I was eager to be off. Myimpatience was increased bythe fact that my father had purchased for mea fine little Mustang pony, and shipped it to Rivermouth a fortnightprevious to the date set for our owndeparture--for both my parents wereto accompany me.

For that matter, everybody knew everybody else's familyhorse-and-carriage, could identify such a silhouette half a mile downthe street, andthereby was sure who was going to market, or to areception, or coming home from office or store to noon dinner or eveningsupper.During the earlier years of thisperiod, elegance of personal appearancewas believed to rest more upon the texture of garments than upon theirshaping. A silk dress needed no remodelling whenit was a year or soold; it remained distinguished by merely remaining silk. Old men andgovernors wore broadcloth; \"full dress\" was broadcloth with\"doeskin\"trousers; and there were seen men of all ages to whom a hat meant onlythat rigid, tall silk thing known to impudence as a \"stove-pipe.\"In town andcountry these men would wear no other hat, and, withoutself-consciousness, they went rowing in such hats.Shifting fashions of shape replaced aristocracy oftexture: dressmakers,shoemakers, hatmakers, and tailors, increasing in cunning and in power,found means to make new clothes old. The long contagion of the\"Derby\"hat arrived: one season the crown of this hat would be a bucket; thenext it would be a spoon. Every house still kept its bootjack, buthigh-topped bootsgave way to shoes and \"congress gaiters\"; and thesewere played through fashions that shaped them now with toes likebox-ends and now with toes like the prowsof racing shells.Trousers with a crease were considered plebeian; the crease proved thatthe garment had lain upon a shelf, and hence was \"ready-made\";thesebetraying trousers were called \"hand-me-downs,\" in allusion to theshelf. In the early 'eighties, while bangs and bustles were havingtheir way with women,that variation of dandy known as the \"dude\" wasinvented: he wore trousers as tight as stockings, dagger-pointed shoes,a spoon \"Derby,\" a single-breasted coatcalled a \"Chesterfield,\" withshort flaring skirts, a torturing cylindrical collar, laundered to apolish and three inches high, while his other neckgear might be aheavy,puffed cravat or a tiny bow fit for a doll's braids. With evening dresshe wore a tan overcoat so short that his black coat-tails hung visible,five inches belowthe over-coat; but after a season or two he lengthenedhis overcoat till it touched his heels, and he passed out of his tighttrousers into trousers like great bags.Then, presently, he was seenno more, though the word that had been coined for him remained in thevocabularies of the impertinent.It was a hairier day thanthis. Beards were to the wearers' fancy,and things as strange as the Kaiserliche boar-tusk moustache werecommonplace. \"Side-burns\" found nourishment uponchildlike profiles;great Dundreary whiskers blew like tippets over young shoulders;moustaches were trained as lambrequins over forgotten mouths; and itwaspossible for a Senator of the United States to wear a mist of whitewhisker upon his throat only, not a newspaper in the land finding theornament distinguishedenough to warrant a lampoon. Surely no more isneeded to prove that so short a time ago we were living in another age!At the beginning of the Ambersons' greatperiod most of the houses ofthe Midland town were of a pleasant architecture. They lacked style, butalso lacked pretentiousness, and whatever does not pretendat all hasstyle enough. They stood in commodious yards, well shaded by leftoverforest trees, elm and walnut and beech, with here and there a line oftallsycamores where the land had been made by filling bayous from thecreek. The house of a \"prominent resident,\" facing Military Square, orNational Avenue, orTennessee Street, was built of brick upon a stonefoundation, or of wood upon a brick foundation. Usually it had a \"frontporch\" and a \"back porch\"; often a \"sideporch,\" too. There was a \"fronthall\"; there was a \"side hall\"; and sometimes a \"back hall.\" From the\"front hall\" opened three rooms, the \"parlour,\" the \"sittingroom,\" andthe \"library\"; and the library could show warrant to its title--for somereason these people bought books. Commonly, the family sat more inthe librarythan in the \"sitting room,\" while callers, when they cameformally, were kept to the \"parlour,\" a place of formidable polish anddiscomfort. The upholstery of thelibrary furniture was a little shabby;but the hostile chairs and sofa of the \"parlour\" always looked new. Forall the wear and tear they got they should have lasted athousand years.Upstairs were the bedrooms; \"mother-and-father's room\" the largest; asmaller room for one or two sons another for one or two daughters;eachof these rooms containing a double bed, a \"washstand,\" a \"bureau,\" awardrobe, a little table, a rocking-chair, and often a chair or two thathad been slightlydamaged downstairs, but not enough to justify eitherthe expense of repair or decisive abandonment in the attic. And therewas always a \"spare-room,\" for visitors(where the sewing-machineusually was kept), and during the 'seventies there developed anappreciation of the necessity for a bathroom. Therefore thearchitectsplaced bathrooms in the new houses, and the older houses tore out acupboard or two, set up a boiler beside the kitchen stove, and soughta newgodliness, each with its own bathroom. The great American plumberjoke, that many-branched evergreen, was planted at this time.At the rear of the house,upstairs was a bleak little chamber, called\"the girl's room,\" and in the stable there was another bedroom,adjoining the hayloft, and called \"the hired man's room.\"House andstable cost seven or eight thousand dollars to build, and people withthat much money to invest in such comforts were classified as the Rich.They paidthe inhabitant of \"the girl's room\" two dollars a week, and,in the latter part of this period, two dollars and a half, and finallythree dollars a week. She was Irish,ordinarily, or German or it mightbe Scandinavian, but never native to the land unless she happened to bea person of colour. The man or youth who lived in thestable had likewages, and sometimes he, too, was lately a steerage voyager, but muchoftener he was coloured.After sunrise, on pleasant mornings, the alleysbehind the stables weregay; laughter and shouting went up and down their dusty lengths, witha lively accompaniment of curry-combs knocking against backfences andstable walls, for the darkies loved to curry their horses in the alley.Darkies always prefer to gossip in shouts instead of whispers; andthey feel thatprofanity, unless it be vociferous, is almost worthless.Horrible phrases were caught by early rising children and carried toolder people for definition, sometimes atinopportune moments; whileless investigative children would often merely repeat the phrases insome subsequent flurry of agitation, and yet bring aboutconsequences soemphatic as to be recalled with ease in middle life.They have passed, those darky hired-men of the Midland town; and theintrospective horsesthey curried and brushed and whacked and amiablycursed--those good old horses switch their tails at flies no more. Forall their seeming permanence they mightas well have been buffaloes--orthe buffalo laprobes that grew bald in patches and used to slide fromthe careless drivers' knees and hang unconcerned, half way totheground. The stables have been transformed into other likenesses, orswept away, like the woodsheds where were kept the stove-wood andkindling that the\"girl\" and the \"hired-man\" always quarrelled over: whoshould fetch it. Horse and stable and woodshed, and the whole tribe ofthe \"hired-man,\" all are gone. Theywent quickly, yet so silently thatwe whom they served have not yet really noticed that they are vanished.So with other vanishings. There were the little buntystreet-cars on thelong, single track that went its troubled way among the cobblestones.At the rear door of the car there was no platform, but a stepwherepassengers clung in wet clumps when the weather was bad and the carcrowded. The patrons--if not too absent-minded--put their fares into aslot; and noconductor paced the heaving floor, but the driver would rapremindingly with his elbow upon the glass of the door to his little openplatform if the nickels and thepassengers did not appear to coincide innumber. A lone mule drew the car, and sometimes drew it off the track,when the passengers would get out and push it onagain. They really owedit courtesies like this, for the car was genially accommodating: a ladycould whistle to it from an upstairs window, and the car would haltatonce and wait for her while she shut the window, put on her hat andcloak, went downstairs, found an umbrella, told the \"girl\" what to havefor dinner, and cameforth from the house.The previous passengers made little objection to such gallantry on thepart of the car: they were wont to expect as much for themselves onlikeoccasion. In good weather the mule pulled the car a mile in a littleless than twenty minutes, unless the stops were too long; but when thetrolley-car came,doing its mile in five minutes and better, it wouldwait for nobody. Nor could its passengers have endured such a thing,because the faster they were carried theless time they had to spare! Inthe days before deathly contrivances hustled them through their lives,and when they had no telephones--another ancient vacancyprofoundlyresponsible for leisure--they had time for everything: time to think, totalk, time to read, time to wait for a lady!They even had time to dance \"squaredances,\" quadrilles, and \"lancers\";they also danced the \"racquette,\" and schottisches and polkas, andsuch whims as the \"Portland Fancy.\" They pushed back thesliding doorsbetween the \"parlour\" and the \"sitting room,\" tacked down crash overthe carpets, hired a few palms in green tubs, stationed three or fourItalian"}

WARREN'S PROFESSION ***Produced by An Anonymous Volunteer and DavidWidgerMRS WARREN'S PROFESSIONby George Bernard Shaw1894With The Author's Apology (1902)THE AUTHOR'S APOLOGYMrs Warren's Profession has beenperformed at last, after a delay ofonly eight years; and I have once more shared with Ibsen the triumphantamusement of startling all but the strongest-headed ofthe Londontheatre critics clean out of the practice of their profession. Noauthor who has ever known the exultation of sending the Press into anhysterical tumult ofprotest, of moral panic, of involuntary and franticconfession of sin, of a horror of conscience in which the power ofdistinguishing between the work of art on thestage and the real lifeof the spectator is confused and overwhelmed, will ever care for thestereotyped compliments which every successful farce ormelodramaelicits from the newspapers. Give me that critic who rushed from my playto declare furiously that Sir George Crofts ought to be kicked. What atriumphfor the actor, thus to reduce a jaded London journalist tothe condition of the simple sailor in the Wapping gallery, who shoutsexecrations at Iago and warnings toOthello not to believe him! Butdearer still than such simplicity is that sense of the sudden earthquakeshock to the foundations of morality which sends a pallidcrowd ofcritics into the street shrieking that the pillars of society arecracking and the ruin of the State is at hand. Even the Ibsen championsof ten years agoremonstrate with me just as the veterans of those bravedays remonstrated with them. Mr Grein, the hardy iconoclast who firstlaunched my plays on the stagealongside Ghosts and The Wild Duck,exclaimed that I have shattered his ideals. Actually his ideals! Whatwould Dr Relling say? And Mr William Archer himselfdisowns me because I\"cannot touch pitch without wallowing in it\". Truly my play must be moreneeded than I knew; and yet I thought I knew how little the othersknow.Do not suppose, however, that the consternation of the Press reflectsany consternation among the general public. Anybody can upset thetheatre critics, in aturn of the wrist, by substituting for theromantic commonplaces of the stage the moral commonplaces of the pulpit,platform, or the library. Play Mrs Warren'sProfession to an audienceof clerical members of the Christian Social Union and of women wellexperienced in Rescue, Temperance, and Girls' Club work, and nomoralpanic will arise; every man and woman present will know that as longas poverty makes virtue hideous and the spare pocket-money of richbachelordommakes vice dazzling, their daily hand-to-hand fight againstprostitution with prayer and persuasion, shelters and scanty alms,will be a losing one. There was a timewhen they were able to urge thatthough \"the white-lead factory where Anne Jane was poisoned\" may be afar more terrible place than Mrs Warren's house, yethell is still moredreadful. Nowadays they no longer believe in hell; and the girls amongwhom they are working know that they do not believe in it, and wouldlaughat them if they did. So well have the rescuers learnt that MrsWarren's defence of herself and indictment of society is the thing thatmost needs saying, that thosewho know me personally reproach me, notfor writing this play, but for wasting my energies on \"pleasantplays\" for the amusement of frivolous people, when I canbuild up suchexcellent stage sermons on their own work. Mrs Warren's Profession isthe one play of mine which I could submit to a censorship without doubtof theresult; only, it must not be the censorship of the minor theatrecritic, nor of an innocent court official like the Lord Chamberlain'sExaminer, much less of peoplewho consciously profit by Mrs Warren'sprofession, or who personally make use of it, or who hold the widelywhispered view that it is an indispensable safety-valvefor theprotection of domestic virtue, or, above all, who are smitten with asentimental affection for our fallen sister, and would \"take her uptenderly, lift her withcare, fashioned so slenderly, young, and SOfair.\" Nor am I prepared to accept the verdict of the medical gentlemenwho would compulsorily sanitate and registerMrs Warren, whilst leavingMrs Warren's patrons, especially her military patrons, free to destroyher health and anybody else's without fear of reprisals. But Ishould bequite content to have my play judged by, say, a joint committee ofthe Central Vigilance Society and the Salvation Army. And the sternermoralists themembers of the committee were, the better.Some of the journalists I have shocked reason so unripely that they willgather nothing from this but a confusednotion that I am accusing theNational Vigilance Association and the Salvation Army of complicity inmy own scandalous immorality. It will seem to them thatpeople who wouldstand this play would stand anything. They are quite mistaken. Suchan audience as I have described would be revolted by many ofourfashionable plays. They would leave the theatre convinced that thePlymouth Brother who still regards the playhouse as one of the gates ofhell is perhaps thesafest adviser on the subject of which he knows solittle. If I do not draw the same conclusion, it is not because I am oneof those who claim that art is exemptfrom moral obligations, and denythat the writing or performance of a play is a moral act, to be treatedon exactly the same footing as theft or murder if itproduces equallymischievous consequences. I am convinced that fine art is the subtlest,the most seductive, the most effective instrument of moral propagandainthe world, excepting only the example of personal conduct; and I waiveeven this exception in favor of the art of the stage, because it worksby exhibitingexamples of personal conduct made intelligible and movingto crowds of unobservant, unreflecting people to whom real life meansnothing. I have pointed outagain and again that the influence of thetheatre in England is growing so great that whilst private conduct,religion, law, science, politics, and morals are becomingmore andmore theatrical, the theatre itself remains impervious to commonsense, religion, science, politics, and morals. That is why I fight thetheatre, not withpamphlets and sermons and treatises, but with plays;and so effective do I find the dramatic method that I have no doubt Ishall at last persuade even London totake its conscience and its brainswith it when it goes to the theatre, instead of leaving them at homewith its prayer-book as it does at present. Consequently, Iam thelast man in the world to deny that if the net effect of performing MrsWarren's Profession were an increase in the number of persons enteringthatprofession, its performance should be dealt with accordingly.Now let us consider how such recruiting can be encouraged by thetheatre. Nothing is easier. Let theKing's Reader of Plays, backed bythe Press, make an unwritten but perfectly well understood regulationthat members of Mrs Warren's profession shall betolerated on the stageonly when they are beautiful, exquisitely dressed, and sumptuouslylodged and fed; also that they shall, at the end of the play, dieofconsumption to the sympathetic tears of the whole audience, or stepinto the next room to commit suicide, or at least be turned out by theirprotectors andpassed on to be \"redeemed\" by old and faithful lovers whohave adored them in spite of their levities. Naturally, the poorer girlsin the gallery will believe in thebeauty, in the exquisite dresses, andthe luxurious living, and will see that there is no real necessity forthe consumption, the suicide, or the ejectment: mere piousforms, allof them, to save the Censor's face. Even if these purely officialcatastrophes carried any conviction, the majority of English girlsremain so poor, sodependent, so well aware that the drudgeries of suchhonest work as is within their reach are likely enough to lead themeventually to lung disease, prematuredeath, and domestic desertion orbrutality, that they would still see reason to prefer the primrose pathto the strait path of virtue, since both, vice at worst andvirtue atbest, lead to the same end in poverty and overwork. It is true that theBoard School mistress will tell you that only girls of a certain kindwill reason in thisway. But alas! that certain kind turns out oninquiry to be simply the pretty, dainty kind: that is, the only kindthat gets the chance of acting on such reasoning.Read the first reportof the Commission on the Housing of the Working Classes [Bluebook C4402, 8d., 1889]; read the Report on Home Industries (sacredword,Home!) issued by the Women's Industrial Council [Home Industries ofWomen in London, 1897, 1s., 12 Buckingham Street, W. C.]; and askyourselfwhether, if the lot in life therein described were your lotin life, you would not prefer the lot of Cleopatra, of Theodora, of theLady of the Camellias, of MrsTanqueray, of Zaza, of Iris. If you cango deep enough into things to be able to say no, how many ignoranthalf-starved girls will believe you are speakingsincerely? To them thelot of Iris is heavenly in comparison with their own. Yet our King, likehis predecessors, says to the dramatist, \"Thus, and thus only, shallyoupresent Mrs Warren's profession on the stage, or you shall starve.Witness Shaw, who told the untempting truth about it, and whom We, bythe Grace of God,accordingly disallow and suppress, and do what in Uslies to silence.\" Fortunately, Shaw cannot be silenced. \"The harlot'scry from street to street\" is louder thanthe voices of all the kings.I am not dependent on the theatre, and cannot be starved into makingmy play a standing advertisement of the attractive side of MrsWarren'sbusiness.Here I must guard myself against a misunderstanding. It is not the faultof their authors that the long string of wanton's tragedies, fromAntonyand Cleopatra to Iris, are snares to poor girls, and are objected toon that account by many earnest men and women who consider Mrs Warren'sProfessionan excellent sermon. Mr Pinero is in no way bound to suppressthe fact that his Iris is a person to be envied by millions of betterwomen. If he made his play falseto life by inventing fictitiousdisadvantages for her, he would be acting as unscrupulously as any tractwriter. If society chooses to provide for its Irises better thanforits working women, it must not expect honest playwrights to manufacturespurious evidence to save its credit. The mischief lies in thedeliberate suppression ofthe other side of the case: the refusal toallow Mrs Warren to expose the drudgery and repulsiveness of plying forhire among coarse, tedious drunkards; thedetermination not to let theParisian girl in Brieux's Les Avaries come on the stage and drive intopeople's minds what her diseases mean for her and forthemselves. Allthat, says the King's Reader in effect, is horrifying, loathsome.Precisely: what does he expect it to be? would he have us represent itas beautiful"}

The Riddle of theBritish     V. The Social Changes in Progress     VI. The Ending of the WarTHE PASSING OF THE EFFIGY1One of the minor peculiarities of this unprecedented war isthe Tour ofthe Front. After some months of suppressed information--in which eventhe war correspondent was discouraged to the point of elimination--itwasdiscovered on both sides that this was a struggle in which Opinionwas playing a larger and more important part than it had ever donebefore. This wild spreadingweed was perhaps of decisive importance;the Germans at any rate were attempting to make it a cultivated flower.There was Opinion flowering away at home,feeding rankly on rumour;Opinion in neutral countries; Opinion getting into great tanglesof misunderstanding and incorrect valuation between the Allies.Theconfidence and courage of the enemy; the amiability and assistance ofthe neutral; the zeal, sacrifice, and serenity of the home population;all were affected.The German cultivation of opinion began longbefore the war; it is still the most systematic and, because of thepsychological ineptitude of the Germans, it isprobably the clumsiest.The French _Maison de la Presse_ is certainly the best organisation inexistence for making things clear, counteracting hostile suggestion,theBritish official organisations are comparatively ineffective; but whatis lacking officially is very largely made up for by the good willand generous efforts of theEnglish and American press. An interestingmonograph might be written upon these various attempts of thebelligerents to get themselves and their proceedingsexplained.Because there is perceptible in these developments, quite over andabove the desire to influence opinion, a very real effort to get thingsexplained. It isthe most interesting and curious--one might almostwrite touching--feature of these organisations that they do notconstitute a positive and defined propagandasuch as the Germansmaintain. The German propaganda is simple, because its ends are simple;assertions of the moral elevation and loveliness of Germany; oftheinsuperable excellences of German Kultur, the Kaiser, and Crown Prince,and so forth; abuse of the \"treacherous\" English who allied themselveswith the\"degenerate\" French and the \"barbaric\" Russians; nonsense about\"the freedom of the seas\"--the emptiest phrase in history--childishattempts to sow suspicionbetween the Allies, and still more childishattempts to induce neutrals and simple-minded pacifists of alliednationality to save the face of Germany by initiatingpeacenegotiations. But apart from their steady record and reminder of Germanbrutalities and German aggression, the press organisations of the Allieshave noneof this definiteness in their task. The aim of the nationalintelligence in each of the allied countries is not to exalt one's ownnation and confuse and divide theenemy, but to get a real understandingwith the peoples and spirits of a number of different nations, anunderstanding that will increase and become a fruitful andpermanentunderstanding between the allied peoples. Neither the English, theRussians, the Italians, nor the French, to name only the bigger Europeanallies, areconcerned in setting up a legend, as the Germans areconcerned in setting up a legend of themselves to impose upon mankind.They are reality dealers in this war,and the Germans are effigymongers. Practically the Allies are saying each to one another, \"Praycome to me and see for yourself that I am very much the humanstuff thatyou are. Come and see that I am doing my best--and I think that isnot so very bad a best....\" And with that is something else still moresubtle,something rather in the form of, \"And please tell me what youthink of me--and all this.\"So we have this curious byplay of the war, and one day I find Mr.Nabokoff,the editor of the _Retch_, and Count Alexy Tolstoy, thatwriter of delicate short stories, and Mr. Chukovsky, the subtle critic,calling in upon me after braving thewintry seas to see the Britishfleet; M. Joseph Reinach follows them presently upon the same errand;and then appear photographs of Mr. Arnold Bennett wading inthe trenchesof Flanders, Mr. Noyes becomes discreetly indiscreet about what he hasseen among the submarines, and Mr. Hugh Walpole catches things fromMr.Stephen Graham in the Dark Forest of Russia. All this is quite over andabove such writing of facts at first hand as Mr. Patrick McGill and adozen other realexperiencing soldiers--not to mention the soldiers'letters Mr. James Milne has collected, or the unforgettable andimmortal _Prisoner of War_ of Mr. ArthurGreen--or such admirable warcorrespondents' work as Mr. Philip Gibbs or Mr. Washburne has done. Someof us writers--I can answer for one--have made ourTour of the Frontswith a very understandable diffidence. For my own part I did not wantto go. I evaded a suggestion that I should go in 1915. I travel badly,Ispeak French and Italian with incredible atrocity, and am an extremePacifist. I hate soldiering. And also I did not want to write anything\"under instruction\". It islargely owing to a certain stiffness in thecomposition of General Delme-Radcliffe is resolved that Italy shall notfeel neglected by the refusal of the invitation fromthe ComandoSupremo by anyone who from the perspective of Italy may seem to be arepresentative of British opinion. If Herbert Spencer had beenalive GeneralRadcliffe would have certainly made him come,travelling-hammock, ear clips and all--and I am not above confessingthat I wish that Herbert Spencer wasalive--for this purpose. I foundUdine warm and gay with memories of Mr. Belloc, Lord Northcliffe, Mr.Sidney Low, Colonel Repington and Dr. Conan Doyle, andanticipating thearrival of Mr. Harold Cox. So we pass, mostly in automobiles that bumptremendously over war roads, a cloud of witnesses each testifying afterhismanner. Whatever else has happened, we have all been photographedwith invincible patience and resolution under the direction of ColonelBarberich in a sunnylittle court in Udine.My own manner of testifying must be to tell what I have seen and whatI have thought during this extraordinary experience. It has beenmynatural disposition to see this war as something purposeful and epic,as it is great, as an epoch, as \"the War that will end War\"--but ofthat last, more anon. I donot think I am alone in this inclination to adramatic and logical interpretation. The caricatures in the French shopsshow civilisation (and particularly Marianne) inconflict with a hugeand hugely wicked Hindenburg Ogre. Well, I come back from this tour withsomething not so simple as that. If I were to be tied down to onewordfor my impression of this war, I should say that this war is _Queer._ Itis not like anything in a really waking world, but like something in adream. It hasn'texactly that clearness of light against darkness orof good against ill. But it has the quality of wholesome instinctstruggling under a nightmare. The world is notreally awake. This vagueappeal for explanations to all sorts of people, this desire to exhibitthe business, to get something in the way of elucidation atpresentmissing, is extraordinarily suggestive of the efforts of the mind towake up that will sometimes occur at a deep crisis. My memory of thistour I have justmade is full of puzzled-looking men. I have seenthousands of _poilus_ sitting about in cafes, by the roadside, intents, in trenches, thoughtful. I have seen Alpinisitting restfully andstaring with speculative eyes across the mountain gulfs towards unseenand unaccountable enemies. I have seen trainloads of woundedstaringout of the ambulance train windows as we passed. I have seen these dimintimations of questioning reflection in the strangest juxtapositions;in Malagasysoldiers resting for a spell among the big shells they werehoisting into trucks for the front, in a couple of khaki-clad Maorissitting upon the step of a horse-van inAmiens station. It is always thesame expression one catches, rather weary, rather sullen, inturned. Theshoulders droop. The very outline is a note ofinterrogation. They lookup as the privileged tourist of the front, in the big automobile orthe reserved compartment, with his officer or so incharge,passes--importantly. One meets a pair of eyes that seems to say:\"Perhaps _you_ understand....\"In which case---...?\"It is a part, I think, of this dispositionto investigate what makeseveryone collect \"specimens\" of the war. Everywhere the souvenir forcesitself upon the attention. The homecoming permissionairebrings withhim invariably a considerable weight of broken objects, bits of shell,cartridge clips, helmets; it is a peripatetic museum. It is as if hehoped for a clue. Itis almost impossible, I have found, to escape thesepieces in evidence. I am the least collecting of men, but I have broughthome Italian cartridges, Austriancartridges, the fuse of an Austrianshell, a broken Italian bayonet, and a note that is worth half a francwithin the confines of Amiens. But a large heavy piece ofexploded shellthat had been thrust very urgently upon my attention upon the Carso Icontrived to lose during the temporary confusion of our party by thearrivaland explosion of another prospective souvenir in our closeproximity. And two really very large and almost complete specimens ofsome species of _Ammonites_unknown to me, from the hills to the eastof the Adige, partially wrapped in a back number of the _Corrieredella Sera_, that were pressed upon me by a friendlyofficer, wereunfortunately lost on the line between Verona and Milan through thegross negligence of a railway porter. But I doubt if they would havethrown anyvery conclusive light upon the war.2I avow myself an extreme Pacifist. I am against the man who first takesup the weapon. I carry my pacifism far beyond theambiguous little groupof British and foreign sentimentalists who pretend so amusingly to besocialists in the _Labour Leader_, whose conception of foreign policyisto give Germany now a peace that would be no more than a breathing timefor a fresh outrage upon civilisation, and who would even make heroes ofthe crazyyoung assassins of the Dublin crime. I do not understand thosepeople. I do not merely want to stop this war. I want to nail down warin its coffin. Modern war isan intolerable thing. It is not a thingto trifle with in this Urban District Council way, it is a thing toend forever. I have always hated it, so far that is as my"}

Through the bowed window at the back we have aglimpse of the street.  It is pleasantly broad and grass-grown, and islinked to theouter world by one demure shop, whose door rings a bellevery time it opens and shuts.  Thus by merely peeping, every one inQuality Street can know at oncewho has been buying a Whimsy cake, andusually why.  This bell is the most familiar sound of Quality Street.Now and again ladies pass in their pattens, a maidperhaps protectingthem with an umbrella, for flakes of snow are falling discreetly.Gentlemen in the street are an event; but, see, just as we raise thecurtain,there goes the recruiting sergeant to remind us that we are inthe period of the Napoleonic wars.  If he were to look in at the windowof the blue and white room allthe ladies there assembled would drawthemselves up; they know him for a rude fellow who smiles at theapproach of maiden ladies and continues to smile afterthey havepassed.  However, he lowers his head to-day so that they shall not seehim, his present design being converse with the Misses Throssel's maid.__Theroom is one seldom profaned by the foot of man, and everything init is white or blue.  Miss Phoebe is not present, but here are MissSusan, Miss Willoughby andher sister Miss Fanny, and Miss HenriettaTurnbull.  Miss Susan and Miss Willoughby, alas, already wear caps; butall the four are dear ladies, so refined that weought not to bediscussing them without a more formal introduction.  There seems nosufficient reason why we should choose Miss Phoebe as our heroineratherthan any one of the others, except, perhaps, that we like hername best.  But we gave her the name, so we must support our choice andsay that she is slightly thenicest, unless, indeed, Miss Susan isnicer.__Miss Fanny is reading aloud from a library book while the others sewor knit.  They are making garments for our bravesoldiers now far awayfighting the Corsican Ogre._MISS FANNY.  '... And so the day passed and evening came, black,mysterious, and ghost-like.  The windmoaned unceasingly like ashivering spirit, and the vegetation rustled uneasily as if somethingweird and terrifying were about to happen.  Suddenly out ofthedarkness there emerged a _Man_.(_She says the last word tremulously but without looking up.  Thelisteners knit more quickly._)The unhappy Camilla wasstanding lost in reverie when, without pausingto advertise her of his intentions, he took both her hands in his.(_By this time the knitting has stopped, and all arelistening as ifmesmerised._)Slowly he gathered her in his arms----(MISS SUSAN _gives an excited little cry._)MISS FANNY.

And you also, Mary, mydear.MISS FANNY (_defending her sister_).  Miss Susan, I protest.MISS WILLOUGHBY (_sternly truthful_).  Nay, sister, 'tis true.  We areknown everywhere now,Susan, you and I, as the old maids of QualityStreet.  (_General discomfort._)MISS SUSAN.  I am happy Phoebe will not be an old maid.MISS HENRIETTA(_wistfully_).  Do you refer, Miss Susan, to V. B.?(MISS SUSAN _smiles happily to herself._)MISS SUSAN.  Miss Phoebe of the ringlets as he has called her.MISSFANNY.  Other females besides Miss Phoebe have ringlets.MISS SUSAN.  But you and Miss Henrietta have to employ papers, my dear.(_Proudly_) Phoebe,never.MISS WILLOUGHBY (_in defence of_ FANNY).  I do not approve of MissPhoebe at all.MISS SUSAN (_flushing_).  Mary, had Phoebe been dying you wouldhavecalled her an angel, but that is ever the way.  'Tis all jealousy tothe bride and good wishes to the corpse.  (_Her guests rise, hurt._)My love, I beg yourpardon.MISS WILLOUGHBY.  With your permission, Miss Susan, I shall put on mypattens.(MISS SUSAN _gives permission almost haughtily, and the ladiesretireto the bedroom,_ MISS FANNY _remaining behind a moment to ask aquestion._)MISS FANNY.  A bride?  Miss Susan, do you mean that V. B. hasdeclared?MISS SUSAN.  Fanny, I expect it hourly.(MISS SUSAN, _left alone, is agitated by the terrible scene with_ MISSWILLOUGHBY.)(_Enter_ PHOEBE _in herbonnet, and we see at once that she really isthe nicest.  She is so flushed with delightful news that she almostforgets to take off her pattens before crossing theblue and whiteroom._)MISS SUSAN.  You seem strangely excited, Phoebe.PHOEBE.  Susan, I have met a certain individual.MISS SUSAN.  V. B.?  (PHOEBE _nodsseveral times, and her gleaming eyestell_ MISS SUSAN _as much as if they were a romance from the library._)My dear, you are trembling.PHOEBE(_bravely_).  No--oh no.MISS SUSAN.

Sire, it is not well done; and much does it grieve me,â\u0000\u0000tis themonarch of a people so civilized and courteous, and so renownedfor sentiment and fine feelings, that I have to reason with!â\u0000\u0000But I have scarce set a foot inyour dominions.â\u0000\u0000CALAIS.When I had fished my dinner, and drank the King of Franceâ\u0000\u0000s health, tosatisfy my mind that I bore him no spleen, but, on thecontrary, highhonour for the humanity of his temper,â\u0000\u0000I rose up an inch taller for theaccommodation.â\u0000\u0000Noâ\u0000\u0000said Iâ\u0000\u0000the Bourbon is by no means acruel race: they may be misled,like other people; but there is a mildness in their blood.  As Iacknowledged this, I felt a suffusion of a finer kind upon mycheekâ\u0000\u0000morewarm and friendly to man, than what Burgundy (at least of two livres abottle, which was such as I had been drinking) could haveproduced.â\u0000\u0000Just God! said I, kicking my portmanteau aside, what is there in thisworldâ\u0000\u0000s goods which should sharpen our spirits, and make somanykind-hearted brethren of us fall out so cruelly as we do by the way?When man is at peace with man, how much lighter than a feather is theheaviest ofmetals in his hand! he pulls out his purse, and holding itairily and uncompressed, looks round him, as if he sought for an objectto share it with.â\u0000\u0000In doing this,I felt every vessel in my framedilate,â\u0000\u0000the arteries beat all cheerily together, and every power whichsustained life, performed it with so little friction, thatâ\u0000\u0000twould haveconfounded the most _physical précieuse_ in France; with all hermaterialism, she could scarce have called me a machine.â\u0000\u0000Iâ\u0000\u0000mconfident, said I to myself, I should have overset her creed.The accession of that idea carried nature, at that time, as high as shecould go;â\u0000\u0000I was at peacewith the world before, and this finishâ\u0000\u0000d thetreaty with myself.â\u0000\u0000â\u0000\u0000Now, was I King of France, cried Iâ\u0000\u0000what a moment for an orphan tohavebeggâ\u0000\u0000d his fatherâ\u0000\u0000s portmanteau of me!THE MONK.CALAIS.I HAD scarce uttered the words, when a poor monk of the order of St.Francis came intothe room to beg something for his convent.  No mancares to have his virtues the sport of contingenciesâ\u0000\u0000or one man may begenerous, as another ispuissant;â\u0000\u0000_sed non quoad hanc_â\u0000\u0000or be it as itmay,â\u0000\u0000for there is no regular reasoning upon the ebbs and flows of ourhumours; they may depend uponthe same causes, for aught I know, whichinfluence the tides themselves: â\u0000\u0000twould oft be no discredit to us, tosuppose it was so: Iâ\u0000\u0000m sure at least formyself, that in many a case Ishould be more highly satisfied, to have it said by the world, â\u0000\u0000I had hadan affair with the moon, in which there was neither sinnor shame,â\u0000\u0000 thanhave it pass altogether as my own act and deed, wherein there was so muchof both.â\u0000\u0000But, be this as it may,â\u0000\u0000the moment I cast myeyes upon him, I waspredetermined not to give him a single sous; and, accordingly, I put mypurse into my pocketâ\u0000\u0000buttoned itâ\u0000\u0000set myself a little moreupon my centre,and advanced up gravely to him; there was something, I fear, forbiddingin my look: I have his figure this moment before my eyes, and thinktherewas that in it which deserved better.The monk, as I judged by the break in his tonsure, a few scattered whitehairs upon his temples, being all that remainedof it, might be aboutseventy;â\u0000\u0000but from his eyes, and that sort of fire which was in them,which seemed more temperâ\u0000\u0000d by courtesy than years, could beno more thansixty:â\u0000\u0000Truth might lie betweenâ\u0000\u0000He was certainly sixty-five; and thegeneral air of his countenance, notwithstanding something seemâ\u0000\u0000d tohavebeen planting-wrinkles in it before their time, agreed to the account.It was one of those heads which Guido has often painted,â\u0000\u0000mild,paleâ\u0000\u0000penetrating,free from all commonplace ideas of fat contentedignorance looking downwards upon the earth;â\u0000\u0000it lookâ\u0000\u0000d forwards; butlookâ\u0000\u0000d as if it lookâ\u0000\u0000d atsomething beyond this world.â\u0000\u0000How one of hisorder came by it, heaven above, who let it fall upon a monkâ\u0000\u0000s shouldersbest knows: but it would have suiteda Bramin, and had I met it upon theplains of Indostan, I had reverenced it.The rest of his outline may be given in a few strokes; one might put itinto the hands ofany one to design, for â\u0000\u0000twas neither elegant norotherwise, but as character and expression made it so: it was a thin,spare form, something above thecommon size, if it lost not thedistinction by a bend forward in the figure,â\u0000\u0000but it was the attitude ofIntreaty; and, as it now stands presented to myimagination, it gainedmore than it lost by it.When he had entered the room three paces, he stood still; and laying hisleft hand upon his breast (a slender whitestaff with which he journeyâ\u0000\u0000dbeing in his right)â\u0000\u0000when I had got close up to him, he introduced himselfwith the little story of the wants of his convent, andthe poverty of hisorder;â\u0000\u0000and did it with so simple a grace,â\u0000\u0000and such an air of deprecationwas there in the whole cast of his look and figure,â\u0000\u0000I wasbewitchâ\u0000\u0000d notto have been struck with it.â\u0000\u0000A better reason was, I had predetermined not to give him a single sous.THE MONK.CALAIS.â\u0000\u0000â\u0000\u0000TIS verytrue, said I, replying to a cast upwards with his eyes, withwhich he had concluded his address;â\u0000\u0000â\u0000\u0000tis very true,â\u0000\u0000and heaven be theirresource who haveno other but the charity of the world, the stock ofwhich, I fear, is no way sufficient for the many _great claims_ which arehourly made upon it.As I pronouncedthe words _great claims_, he gave a slight glance withhis eye downwards upon the sleeve of his tunic:â\u0000\u0000I felt the full force ofthe appealâ\u0000\u0000I acknowledge it,said I:â\u0000\u0000a coarse habit, and that but once inthree years with meagre diet,â\u0000\u0000are no great matters; and the true point ofpity is, as they can be earnâ\u0000\u0000d inthe world with so little industry, thatyour order should wish to procure them by pressing upon a fund which isthe property of the lame, the blind, the aged and theinfirm;â\u0000\u0000the captivewho lies down counting over and over again the days of his afflictions,languishes also for his share of it; and had you been of the _orderofmercy_, instead of the order of St. Francis, poor as I am, continued I,pointing at my portmanteau, full cheerfully should it have been openâ\u0000\u0000d toyou, for theransom of the unfortunate.â\u0000\u0000The monk made me a bow.â\u0000\u0000But ofall others, resumed I, the unfortunate of our own country, surely, havethe first rights; and Ihave left thousands in distress upon our ownshore.â\u0000\u0000The monk gave a cordial wave with his head,â\u0000\u0000as much as to say, Nodoubt there is misery enough inevery corner of the world, as well aswithin our conventâ\u0000\u0000But we distinguish, said I, laying my hand upon thesleeve of his tunic, in return for his appealâ\u0000\u0000wedistinguish, my goodfather! betwixt those who wish only to eat the bread of their ownlabourâ\u0000\u0000and those who eat the bread of other peopleâ\u0000\u0000s, and have nootherplan in life, but to get through it in sloth and ignorance, _for the loveof God_.The poor Franciscan made no reply: a hectic of a moment passâ\u0000\u0000d acrosshischeek, but could not tarryâ\u0000\u0000Nature seemed to have done with herresentments in him;â\u0000\u0000he showed none:â\u0000\u0000but letting his staff fall within hisarms, hepressed both his hands with resignation upon his breast, andretired.THE MONK.CALAIS.MY heart smote me the moment he shut the doorâ\u0000\u0000Psha! said I, withan airof carelessness, three several timesâ\u0000\u0000but it would not do: everyungracious syllable I had utterâ\u0000\u0000d crowded back into my imagination: Ireflected, I hadno right over the poor Franciscan, but to deny him; andthat the punishment of that was enough to the disappointed, without theaddition of unkindlanguage.â\u0000\u0000I considerâ\u0000\u0000d his gray hairsâ\u0000\u0000his courteousfigure seemâ\u0000\u0000d to re-enter and gently ask me what injury he had doneme?â\u0000\u0000and why Icould use him thus?â\u0000\u0000I would have given twenty livres for anadvocate.â\u0000\u0000I have behaved very ill, said I within myself; but I have onlyjust set out upon mytravels; and shall learn better manners as I getalong.THE DESOBLIGEANT.CALAIS.WHEN a man is discontented with himself, it has one advantage however,that itputs him into an excellent frame of mind for making a bargain.Now there being no travelling through France and Italy without achaise,â\u0000\u0000and nature generallyprompting us to the thing we are fittestfor, I walkâ\u0000\u0000d out into the coach-yard to buy or hire something of thatkind to my purpose: an old _désobligeant_{562} in the furthest corner ofthe court, hit my fancy at first sight, so I instantly got into it, andfinding it in tolerable harmony with my feelings, I ordered thewaiter tocall Monsieur Dessein, the master of the hotel:â\u0000\u0000but Monsieur Desseinbeing gone to vespers, and not caring to face the Franciscan, whom I sawon the"}

HTML version by Al Haines.The Cask of AmontilladobyEdgar AllanPoeThe thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I best could, butwhen he ventured upon insult, I vowed revenge.  You, who so well knowthe nature of mysoul, will not suppose, however, that I gave utteranceto a threat.  _At length_ I would be avenged; this was a point definitelysettled--but the very definitivenesswith which it was resolved,precluded the idea of risk.  I must not only punish, but punish withimpunity.  A wrong is unredressed when retribution overtakesitsredresser.  It is equally unredressed when the avenger fails to makehimself felt as such to him who has done the wrong.It must be understood that neither byword nor deed had I givenFortunato cause to doubt my good will.  I continued, as was my wont, tosmile in his face, and he did not perceive that my smile _now_was atthe thought of his immolation.He had a weak point--this Fortunato--although in other regards he was aman to be respected and even feared.  He pridedhimself on hisconnoisseurship in wine.  Few Italians have the true virtuoso spirit.For the most part their enthusiasm is adopted to suit the time andopportunity--topractise imposture upon the British and Austrian_millionaires_.  In painting and gemmary, Fortunato, like his countrymen,was a quack--but in the matter of oldwines he was sincere.  In thisrespect I did not differ from him materially: I was skillful in theItalian vintages myself, and bought largely whenever I could.It wasabout dusk, one evening during the supreme madness of thecarnival season, that I encountered my friend.  He accosted me withexcessive warmth, for he hadbeen drinking much.  The man wore motley.He had on a tight-fitting parti-striped dress, and his head wassurmounted by the conical cap and bells.  I was sopleased to see him,that I thought I should never have done wringing his hand.I said to him--\"My dear Fortunato, you are luckily met.  How remarkablywell youare looking to-day!  But I have received a pipe of what passesfor Amontillado, and I have my doubts.\"\"How?\" said he.  \"Amontillado?  A pipe?  Impossible!  And inthe middleof the carnival!\"\"I have my doubts,\" I replied; \"and I was silly enough to pay the fullAmontillado price without consulting you in the matter. You werenot tobe found, and I was fearful of losing a bargain.\"\"Amontillado!\"\"I have my doubts.\"\"Amontillado!\"\"And I must satisfy them.\"\"Amontillado!\"\"As you areengaged, I am on my way to Luchesi.  If any one has acritical turn, it is he.  He will tell me--\"\"Luchesi cannot tell Amontillado from Sherry.\"\"And yet some foolswill have it that his taste is a match for yourown.\"\"Come, let us go.\"\"Whither?\"\"To your vaults.\"\"My friend, no; I will not impose upon your good nature.  Iperceiveyou have an engagement.  Luchesi--\"\"I have no engagement;--come.\"\"My friend, no.  It is not the engagement, but the severe cold withwhich I perceiveyou are afflicted.  The vaults are insufferably damp.They are encrusted with nitre.\"\"Let us go, nevertheless.  The cold is merely nothing. Amontillado!You havebeen imposed upon.  And as for Luchesi, he cannot distinguishSherry from Amontillado.\"Thus speaking, Fortunato possessed himself of my arm. Putting on amaskof black silk, and drawing a _roquelaire_ closely about my person, Isuffered him to hurry me to my palazzo.There were no attendants at home; they hadabsconded to make merry inhonour of the time.  I had told them that I should not return until themorning, and had given them explicit orders not to stir from thehouse.These orders were sufficient, I well knew, to insure their immediatedisappearance, one and all, as soon as my back was turned.I took from their sconcestwo flambeaux, and giving one to Fortunato,bowed him through several suites of rooms to the archway that led intothe vaults.  I passed down a long and windingstaircase, requesting himto be cautious as he followed. We came at length to the foot of thedescent, and stood together on the damp ground of the catacombs oftheMontresors.The gait of my friend was unsteady, and the bells upon his cap jingledas he strode.\"The pipe,\" said he.\"It is farther on,\" said I; \"but observe thewhite web-work whichgleams from these cavern walls.\"He turned towards me, and looked into my eyes with two filmy orbs thatdistilled the rheum ofintoxication.\"Nitre?\" he asked, at length.\"Nitre,\" I replied.  \"How long have you had that cough?\"\"Ugh! ugh! ugh!--ugh! ugh! ugh!--ugh! ugh! ugh!--ugh! ugh!ugh!--ugh!ugh! ugh!\"My poor friend found it impossible to reply for many minutes.\"It is nothing,\" he said, at last.\"Come,\" I said, with decision, \"we will go back;your health isprecious.  You are rich, respected, admired, beloved; you are happy, asonce I was.  You are a man to be missed.  For me it is no matter.  Wewill goback; you will be ill, and I cannot be responsible.  Besides,there is Luchesi--\"\"Enough,\" he said; \"the cough is a mere nothing; it will not kill me.I shall not die of acough.\"\"True--true,\" I replied; \"and, indeed, I had no intention of alarmingyou unnecessarily--but you should use all proper caution. A draught ofthis Medoc willdefend us from the damps.\"Here I knocked off the neck of a bottle which I drew from a long row ofits fellows that lay upon the mould.\"Drink,\" I said, presentinghim the wine.He raised it to his lips with a leer.  He paused and nodded to mefamiliarly, while his bells jingled.\"I drink,\" he said, \"to the buried that repose aroundus.\"\"And I to your long life.\"He again took my arm, and we proceeded.\"These vaults,\" he said, \"are extensive.\"\"The Montresors,\" I replied, \"were a great andnumerous family.\"\"I forget your arms.\"\"A huge human foot d'or, in a field azure; the foot crushes a serpentrampant whose fangs are imbedded in the heel.\"\"Andthe motto?\"\"_Nemo me impune lacessit_.\"\"Good!\" he said.The wine sparkled in his eyes and the bells jingled.  My own fancy grewwarm with the Medoc.  We hadpassed through walls of piled bones, withcasks and puncheons intermingling, into the inmost recesses ofcatacombs.  I paused again, and this time I made bold toseizeFortunato by an arm above the elbow.\"The nitre!\" I said; \"see, it increases.  It hangs like moss upon thevaults.  We are below the river's bed.  The drops ofmoisture trickleamong the bones.  Come, we will go back ere it is too late.  Yourcough--\"\"It is nothing,\" he said; \"let us go on.  But first, another draught oftheMedoc.\"I broke and reached him a flagon of De Grave.  He emptied it at abreath.  His eyes flashed with a fierce light.  He laughed and threwthe bottle upwardswith a gesticulation I did not understand.I looked at him in surprise.  He repeated the movement--a grotesque one.\"You do not comprehend?\" he said.\"Not I,\" Ireplied.\"Then you are not of the brotherhood.\"\"How?\"\"You are not of the masons.\"\"Yes, yes,\" I said; \"yes, yes.\"\"You?  Impossible!  A mason?\"\"A mason,\" Ireplied.\"A sign,\" he said, \"a sign.\"\"It is this,\" I answered, producing a trowel from beneath the folds ofmy _roquelaire_.\"You jest,\" he exclaimed, recoiling a fewpaces.  \"But let us proceedto the Amontillado.\"\"Be it so,\" I said, replacing the tool beneath the cloak and againoffering him my arm.  He leaned upon itheavily.  We continued ourroute in search of the Amontillado.  We passed through a range of lowarches, descended, passed on, and descending again, arrived ata deepcrypt, in which the foulness of the air caused our flambeaux rather toglow than flame.At the most remote end of the crypt there appeared anotherlessspacious.  Its walls had been lined with human remains, piled to thevault overhead, in the fashion of the great catacombs of Paris.  Threesides of this interiorcrypt were still ornamented in this manner.From the fourth side the bones had been thrown down, and laypromiscuously upon the earth, forming at one point amound of somesize.  Within the wall thus exposed by the displacing of the bones, weperceived a still interior recess, in depth about four feet in widththree, inheight six or seven.  It seemed to have been constructed forno especial use within itself, but formed merely the interval betweentwo of the colossal supports ofthe roof of the catacombs, and wasbacked by one of their circumscribing walls of solid granite.It was in vain that Fortunato, uplifting his dull torch, endeavouredtopry into the depth of the recess.  Its termination the feeble light didnot enable us to see.\"Proceed,\" I said; \"herein is the Amontillado.  As for Luchesi--\"\"He is anignoramus,\" interrupted my friend, as he stepped unsteadilyforward, while I followed immediately at his heels.  In an instant hehad reached the extremity of theniche, and finding his progressarrested by the rock, stood stupidly bewildered.  A moment more and Ihad fettered him to the granite.  In its surface were two ironstaples,distant from each other about two feet, horizontally.  From one ofthese depended a short chain, from the other a padlock.  Throwing thelinks about hiswaist, it was but the work of a few seconds to secureit.  He was too much astounded to resist.  Withdrawing the key Istepped back from the recess.\"Pass yourhand,\" I said, \"over the wall; you cannot help feeling thenitre.  Indeed, it is _very_ damp.  Once more let me _implore_ you toreturn.  No?  Then I must positivelyleave you.  But I must firstrender you all the little attentions in my power.\"\"The Amontillado!\" ejaculated my friend, not yet recovered fromhisastonishment.\"True,\" I replied; \"the Amontillado.\"As I said these words I busied myself among the pile of bones of whichI have before spoken.  Throwing themaside, I soon uncovered a quantityof building stone and mortar.  With these materials and with the aid ofmy trowel, I began vigorously to wall up the entrance ofthe niche.I had scarcely laid the first tier of the masonry when I discoveredthat the intoxication of Fortunato had in a great measure worn off. Theearliestindication I had of this was a low moaning cry from the depthof the recess.  It was _not_ the cry of a drunken man. There was then along and obstinate silence.  Ilaid the second tier, and the third, andthe fourth; and then I heard the furious vibrations of the chain.  Thenoise lasted for several minutes, during which, that Imight hearken toit with the more satisfaction, I ceased my labours and sat down uponthe bones. When at last the clanking subsided, I resumed the trowel,andfinished without interruption the fifth, the sixth, and the seventhtier.  The wall was now nearly upon a level with my breast.  I againpaused, and holding theflambeaux over the mason-work, threw a fewfeeble rays upon the figure within.A succession of loud and shrill screams, bursting suddenly from thethroat of thechained form, seemed to thrust me violently back.  For abrief moment I hesitated--I trembled.  Unsheathing my rapier, I beganto grope with it about the recess;but the thought of an instantreassured me.  I placed my hand upon the solid fabric of the catacombs,and felt satisfied.  I reapproached the wall; I replied to the"}

He'll be all right.\"We weresitting in the nursery. I had not meant to enter it again, nowthat the child was dead; but I had come suddenly on Kitty as she slippedthe key into the lock, and Ihad lingered to look in at the high room,so full of whiteness and clear colors, so unendurably gay and familiar,which is kept in all respects as though there werestill a child in thehouse. It was the first lavish day of spring, and the sunlight waspouring through the tall, arched windows and the flowered curtains sobrightlythat in the old days a fat fist would certainly have beenraised to point out the new, translucent glories of the rosebud.Sunlight was lying in great pools on the bluecork floor and the softrugs, patterned with strange beasts, and threw dancing beams, whichshould have been gravely watched for hours, on the white paint andtheblue distempered walls. It fell on the rocking-horse, which had beenChris's idea of an appropriate present for his year-old son, and showedwhat a fine fellowhe was and how tremendously dappled; it picked outMary and her little lamb on the chintz ottoman. And along themantelpiece, under the loved print of thesnarling tiger, in attitudesthat were at once angular and relaxed, as though they were ready forplay at their master's pleasure, but found it hard to keep fromdrowsingin this warm weather, sat the Teddy Bear and the chimpanzee and thewoolly white dog and the black cat with eyes that roll. Everything wasthere exceptOliver. I turned away so that I might not spy on Kittyrevisiting her dead. But she called after me:\"Come here, Jenny. I'm going to dry my hair.\" And when Ilooked again Isaw that her golden hair was all about her shoulders and that she woreover her frock a little silken jacket trimmed with rosebuds. She lookedso likea girl on a magazine cover that one expected to find a large \"15cents\" somewhere attached to her person. She had taken Nanny's bigbasket-chair from its placeby the high-chair, and was pushing it overto the middle window. \"I always come in here when Emery has washed myhair. It's the sunniest room in the house. Iwish Chris wouldn't haveit kept as a nursery when there's no chance--\" She sat down, swept herhair over the back of the chair into the sunlight, and held out tomeher tortoiseshell hair-brush. \"Give it a brush now and then, like a goodsoul; but be careful. Tortoise snaps so!\"I took the brush and turned to the window,leaning my forehead againstthe glass and staring unobservantly at the view. You probably know thebeauty of that view; for when Chris rebuilt Baldry Court afterhismarriage he handed it over to architects who had not so much the wildeye of the artist as the knowing wink of the manicurist, and betweenthem theymassaged the dear old place into matter for innumerablephotographs in the illustrated papers. The house lies on the crest ofHarrowweald, and from its windowsthe eye drops to miles of emeraldpasture-land lying wet and brilliant under a westward line of sleekhills; blue with distance and distant woods, while nearer itrange thesuave decorum of the lawn and the Lebanon cedar, the branches of whichare like darkness made palpable, and the minatory gauntnesses of thetopmostpines in the wood that breaks downward, its bare boughs a closetexture of browns and purples, from the pond on the edge of the hill.[Illustration: \"Give it a brushnow and then, like a good soul\"]That day its beauty was an affront to me, because, like mostEnglishwomen of my time, I was wishing for the return of asoldier.Disregarding the national interest and everything else except the keenprehensile gesture of our hearts toward him, I wanted to snatch myCousinChristopher from the wars and seal him in this green pleasantnesshis wife and I now looked upon. Of late I had had bad dreams about him.By nights I saw Chrisrunning across the brown rottenness ofNo-Man's-Land, starting back here because he trod upon a hand, not evenlooking there because of the awfulness of anunburied head, and not tillmy dream was packed full of horror did I see him pitch forward on hisknees as he reached safety, if it was that. For on the war-films Ihaveseen men slip down as softly from the trench-parapet, and none but thegrimmer philosophers could say that they had reached safety by theirfall. And when Iescaped into wakefulness it was only to lie stiff andthink of stories I had heard in the boyish voice of the modernsubaltern, which rings indomitable, yet has mostof its gay notesflattened: \"We were all of us in a barn one night, and a shell camealong. My pal sang out, 'Help me, old man; I've got no legs!' and I hadtoanswer, 'I can't, old man; I've got no hands!'\" Well, such are thedreams of Englishwomen to-day. I could not complain, but I wished forthe return of our soldier.So I said:\"I wish we could hear from Chris. It is a fortnight since he wrote.\"And then it was that Kitty wailed, \"Ah, don't begin to fuss!\" and bentover her image ina hand-mirror as one might bend for refreshment overscented flowers.I tried to build about me such a little globe of ease as alwaysensphered her, and thought ofall that remained good in our lives thoughChris was gone. I was sure that we were preserved from the reproach ofluxury, because we had made a fine place forChris, one little part ofthe world that was, so far as surfaces could make it so, good enough forhis amazing goodness. Here we had nourished that surpassingamiabilitywhich was so habitual that one took it as one of his physicalcharacteristics, and regarded any lapse into bad temper as a calamity asstartling as thebreaking of a leg; here we had made happinessinevitable for him. I could shut my eyes and think of innumerableproofs of how well we had succeeded, for therenever was so visiblycontented a man. And I recalled all that he did one morning just a yearago when he went to the front.First he had sat in the morning-roomand talked and stared out on thelawns that already had the desolation of an empty stage, although he hadnot yet gone; then broke off suddenly and went aboutthe house, lookinginto many rooms. He went to the stables and looked at the horses and hadthe dogs brought out; he refrained from touching them or speakingtothem, as though he felt himself already infected with the squalor of warand did not want to contaminate their bright physical well-being. Thenhe went to theedge of the wood and stood staring down into the clumpsof dark-leaved rhododendrons and the yellow tangle of last year'sbracken and the cold winter black ofthe trees. (From this very window Ihad spied on him.) Then he moved broodingly back to the house to bewith his wife until the moment of his going, when Kittyand I stood onthe steps to see him motor off to Waterloo. He kissed us both. As hebent over me I noticed once again how his hair was of two colors, brownandgold. Then he got into the car, put on his Tommy air, and said: \"Solong! I'll write you from Berlin!\" and as he spoke his head droppedback, and he set a hardstare on the house. That meant, I knew, that heloved the life he had lived with us and desired to carry with him to thedreary place of death and dirt the completememory of everything abouthis home, on which his mind could brush when things were at their worst,as a man might finger an amulet through his shirt. Thishouse, this lifewith us, was the core of his heart.\"If he could come back!\" I said. \"He was so happy here!\"And Kitty answered:\"He could not have been happier.\"Itwas important that he should have been happy, for, you see, he wasnot like other city men. When we had played together as children in thatwood he had alwaysshown great faith in the imminence of the improbable.He thought that the birch-tree would really stir and shrink and quickeninto an enchanted princess, that hereally was a red Indian, and thathis disguise would suddenly fall from him at the right sundown, that atany moment a tiger might lift red fangs through thebracken, and heexpected these things with a stronger motion of the imagination than theordinary child's make-believe. And from a thousand intimations, fromhisoccasional clear fixity of gaze on good things as though they were aboutto dissolve into better, from the passionate anticipation with which hewent to newcountries or met new people, I was aware that this faith hadpersisted into his adult life. He had exchanged his expectation ofbecoming a red Indian for the equallywistful aspiration of becomingcompletely reconciled to life. It was his hopeless hope that some timehe would have an experience that would act on his life likealchemy,turning to gold all the dark metals of events, and from that revelationhe would go on his way rich with an inextinguishable joy. There hadbeen, ofcourse, no chance of his ever getting it. Literally therewasn't room to swing a revelation in his crowded life. First of all, athis father's death he had been obliged totake over a business that wasweighted by the needs of a mob of female relatives who were all uselesseither in the old way, with antimacassars, or in the newway, withgolf-clubs; then Kitty had come along and picked up his conception ofnormal expenditure, and carelessly stretched it as a woman stretches anew gloveon her hand. Then there had been the difficult task oflearning to live after the death of his little son. It had lain on us,the responsibility, which gave us dignity, tocompensate him for hislack of free adventure by arranging him a gracious life. But now, justbecause our performance had been so brilliantly adequate, howdreary wasthe empty stage!We were not, perhaps, specially contemptible women, because nothingcould ever really become a part of our life until it had been"}

S. TylerProfessorof the Greek and Latin Languages in Amherst CollegePREFACE.This edition of the Germania and Agricola of Tacitus is designed to meetthe following wants, which,it is believed, have been generally felt byteachers and pupils in American Colleges.1. A Latin text, approved and established by the essential concurrence ofall themore recent editors. The editions of Tacitus now in use in thiscountry abound in readings purely conjectural, adopted without due regardto the peculiarities of theauthor, and in direct contravention of thecritical canon, that, other things being equal, the more difficultreading is the more likely to be genuine. The recentGerman editionslabor to exhibit and explain, so far as possible, the reading of the bestMSS.2. A more copious illustration of the grammatical constructions, alsoofthe rhetorical and poetical usages peculiar to Tacitus, withouttranslating, however, to such an extent as to supersede the properexertions of the student. Fewbooks require so much illustration of thiskind, as the Germania and Agricola of Tacitus; few have received more inGermany, yet few so little here. In a writer soconcise and abrupt asTacitus, it has been deemed necessary to pay particular regard to theconnexion of thought, and to the particles, as the hinges ofthatconnexion.3. A comparison of the writer and his cotemporaries with authors of theAugustan age, so as to mark concisely the changes which had beenalreadywrought in the language and taste of the Roman people. It is chiefly witha view to aid such a comparison, that it has been thought advisable toprefix a Lifeof Tacitus, which is barren indeed of personal incidents,but which it is hoped may serve to exhibit the author in his relation tothe history, and especially to theliterature, of his age.4. The department in which less remained to be done than any other, forthe elucidation of Tacitus, was that of Geography, History,andArchaeology. The copious notes of Gordon and Murphy left little to bedesired in this line; and these notes are not only accessible to Americanscholars in theiroriginal forms, but have been incorporated, more orless, into all the college editions. If any peculiar merit attaches tothis edition, in this department, it will befound in the frequentreferences to such classic authors as furnish collateral information, andin the illustration of the private life of the Romans, by the help ofsuchrecent works as Becker's Gallus. The editor has also been able toavail himself of Sharon Turner's History of the Anglo Saxons, which shedsnot a little light on themanners of the Germans.5. Many of the ablest commentaries on the Germania and Agricola haveappeared within a comparatively recent period, some of themremarkableexamples of critical acumen and exegetical tact, and others, models ofschool and college editions. It has been the endeavor of the editor tobring downthe literature pertaining to Tacitus to the present time, andto embody in small compass the most valuable results of the labors ofsuch recent German editors asGrimm, Günther, Gruber, Kiessling, Dronke,Roth, Ruperti, and Walther.The text is, in the main, that of Walther, though the other editors justnamed have beenconsulted; and in such minor differences as exist betweenthem, I have not hesitated to adopt the reading which seemed best toaccord with the usage and geniusof Tacitus, especially when sanctionedby a decided preponderance of critical suffrage. Other readings have beenreferred to in the Notes, so far as they are of anyconsiderableimportance, or supported by respectable authority. Partly forconvenience, but chiefly as a matter of taste, I have ventured to followthe Germaneditions in dispensing entirely with diacritical marks, and insome peculiarities of less importance, which if not viewed with favor, itis hoped, will not be judged withseverity. The punctuation is the resultof a diligent comparison of the best editions, together with a carefulstudy of the connexion of language and of thought.TheGerman editions above mentioned, together with several French,English, and American works, have not only been constantly before me, buthave been used withgreat freedom, and credit awarded to themaccordingly. Some may think their names should have appeared lessfrequently; others that they should have receivedcredit to a stillgreater extent. Suffice it to say, I have never intended to quote thelanguage, or borrow the thoughts of an author, without giving his name;and inmatters of fact or opinion, I have cited authorities not only whenI have been indebted to them for the suggestion, but whenever, in a caseof coincidence of views,I thought the authorities would be of anyinterest to the student.I have not considered it needful, with German scrupulosity, todistinguish between my ownreferences and those of others. It may safelybe taken for granted, that the major, perhaps the better, part of themhave been derived from foreign sources. Butno references have beenadmitted on trust. They have been carefully verified, and it is hopedthat numerous as they are, they will be found pertinent anduseful,whether illustrative of things, or of mere verbal usage. Some, who usethe book, will doubtless find occasion to follow them out either in wholeor in part;and those who do not, will gain a general impression as tothe sources from which collateral information may be obtained, that willbe of no small value.Thefrequent references to the Notes of Professor Kingsley, will show theestimation in which I hold them. Perhaps I have used them too freely. Myonly apology is, thatso far as they go, they are just what is wanted;and if I had avoided using them to a considerable extent, I must havesubstituted something less perfect of myown. Had they been more copious,and extended more to verbal and grammatical illustrations, these Notesnever would have appeared.The editor is convinced,from his experience as a teacher, that thestudent of Tacitus will not master the difficulties, or appreciate themerits, of so peculiar an author, unless hispeculiarities are distinctlypointed out and explained. Indeed, the student, in reading any classicauthor, needs, not to be carried along on the broad shoulders ofanindiscriminate translator, but to be guided at every step in learning hislessons, by a judicious annotator, who will remove his difficulties, andaid his progress;who will point out to him what is worthy of attention,and guard him against the errors to which he is constantly exposed; forfirst impressions are lively andpermanent, and the errors of the study,even though corrected in the recitation, not unfrequently leave animpression on the mind which is never effaced.Besidesthe aid derived from books, to which the merit of this edition,if it have any merit, will be chiefly owing, the editor takes thisopportunity to acknowledge his manyobligations to those professors andother literary gentlemen, who have extended to him assistance andencouragement. To Prof. H. B. Hackett, of NewtonTheological Seminary,especially, he is indebted for favors, which, numerous and invaluable inthemselves, as the results of a singularly zealous andsuccessfuldevotion to classical learning, are doubly grateful as the tokens of apersonal friendship, which began when we were members of the same classincollege. The work was commenced at his suggestion, and has beencarried forward with his constant advice and co-operation. His ampleprivate library, and,through his influence, the library of the Seminary,have been placed at my disposal; and the notes passed under his eye andwere improved in not a fewparticulars, at his suggestion, though he isin no way responsible for their remaining imperfections. I have alsoreceived counsel and encouragement in all mylabors from my esteemedcolleague, Prof. N. W. Fiske, whose instructions in the same departmentwhich has since been committed to my charge, first taught meto love theGreek and Latin classics. I have only to regret that his ill health andabsence from the country have prevented me from deriving still greateradvantagesfrom his learning and taste. An unforeseen event has, in likemanner, deprived me of the expected cooperation of Prof. Lyman Coleman,now of Nassau HallCollege in N. J., in concert with whom this work wasplanned, and was to have been executed, and on whose ripe scholarship,and familiarity with the Germanlanguage and literature, I chiefly reliedfor its successful accomplishment.I should not do justice to my feelings, were I to omit the expression ofmy obligations tothe printer and publishers for the unwearied patiencewith which they have labored to perfect the work, under all thedisadvantages attending the superintendanceof the press, at such adistance. If there should still be found in it inaccuracies andblemishes, it will not be because they have spared any pains to make it acorrectand beautiful book.It is with unfeigned diffidence that I submit to the public this firstattempt at literary labor. I am fully sensible of its many imperfections,at thesame time I am conscious of an ability to make it better at somefuture day, should it meet the favorable regard of the classical teachersof our land, to whom it isdedicated as an humble contribution to thatcause in which they are now laboring, with such unprecedented zeal.Should it contribute in any measure to a betterunderstanding, or ahigher appreciation by our youthful countrymen of a classic author, fromwhom, beyond almost any other, I have drawn instruction anddelight, Ishall not have labored in vain._Amherst College, June 1, 1847_.PREFACE TO THE REVISED EDITIONThe text of this edition has been carefully revisedand compared withthose of Döderlein, Halle, 1847, Orelli, Zurich, 1848, and Ritter, Bonnand Cambridge, 1848. The notes also have been re-examined and, toaconsiderable extent, re-written; partly to correspond with the progressof my own mind, partly in accordance with suggestions derived from theabove namededitions, and from friendly criticisms either by letter or inthe public journals. Among the journals, I am particularly indebted tothe Bibliotheca Sacra and theNew-Englander; and for communications byletter, I am under especial obligations to Professors Crosby and Sanbornof Dartmouth College, Robbins of Middlebury,and Lincoln of BrownUniversity.In revising the geography of the Germania, I have consulted, withouthowever entering much into detail, Ukert's invaluable treatiseon theGeography of the Greeks and Romans, whose volume on Germany contains atranslation and running commentary on almost the entire work of"}

Hillard,genuinely astonished, lowered his pipe and listened. To sit dreaming byan open window,even in this unlovely first month of the year, in thatgrim unhandsome city which boasts of its riches and still accepts withsmug content its rows upon rows of uglyarchitecture, to sit dreaming,then, of red-tiled roofs, of cloud-caressed hills, of terracedvineyards, of cypresses in their dark aloofness, is not out of thenaturalorder of things; but that into this idle and pleasant dreamthere should enter so divine a voice, living, feeling, pulsing, this wasnot ordinary at all.And Hillard wasglad that the room was in darkness. He rose eagerly andpeered out. But he saw no one. Across the street the arc-lamp burneddimly, like an opal in the matrix,while of architectural outlines notone remained, the fog having kindly obliterated them.The Voice rose and sank and soared again, drawing nearer and nearer.Itwas joyous and unrestrained, and there was youth in it, the touch ofspring and the breath of flowers. The music was Lecocq's, that is tosay, French; but thetongue was of a country which Hillard knew to bethe garden of the world. Presently he observed a shadow emerge from theyellow mist, to come within the circleof light, which, faint as it was,limned in against the nothingness beyond the form of a woman. She walkeddirectly under his window.As the invisible comessuddenly out of the future to assume distinctproportions which either make or mar us, so did this unknown cantatricecome out of the fog that night and enter intoHillard's life, toreadjust its ambitions, to divert its aimless course, to give impetus toit, and a directness which hitherto it had not known.\"Ah!\"He leaned over thesill at a perilous angle, the bright coal of his pipespilling comet-wise to the area-way below. He was only subconscious ofhaving spoken; but this syllable wassufficient to spoil theenchantment. The Voice ceased abruptly, with an odd break. The singerlooked up. Possibly her astonishment surpassed even that ofheraudience. For a few minutes she had forgotten that she was in New York,where romance may be found only in the book-shops; she had forgottenthat it wasnight, a damp and chill forlorn night; she had forgotten thepain in her heart; there had been only a great and irresistible longingto sing.Though she raised herface, he could distinguish no feature, for thelight was behind. However, he was a man who made up his mind quickly.Brunette or blond, beautiful or otherwise, itneeded but a moment tofind out. Even as this decision was made he was in the upper hall,taking the stairs two at a bound. He ran out into the night,bareheaded.Up the street he saw a flying shadow. Plainly she had anticipated hisimpulse and the curiosity behind it. Even as he gave chase the shadowmelted inthe fog, as ice melts in running waters, as flame dissolves insunshine. She was gone. He cupped his ear with his hand; in vain, therecame no sound as ofpattering feet; there was nothing but fog andsilence.\"Well, if this doesn't beat the Dutch!\" he murmured.He laughed disappointedly. It did not matter that he wasthree andthirty; he still retained youth enough to feel chagrined at such atrivial defeat. Here had been something like a genuine adventure, and ithad slipped likewater through his clumsy fingers.\"Deuce take the fog! But for that I'd have caught her.\"But reason promptly asked him what he should have done had he caughtthesinger. Yes, supposing he had, what excuse would he have had to offer?Denial on her part would have been simple, and righteous indignation atbeing accostedon the street simpler still. He had not seen her face,and doubtless she was aware of this fact. Thus, she would have had allthe weapons for defense and he notone for attack. But though reasonargued well, it did not dislodge his longing. He would have beenperfectly happy to have braved her indignation for a singleglance ather face. He walked back, lighting his pipe. Who could she be? Whatpeculiar whimsical freak had sent her singing past his window at oneo'clock of themorning? A grand opera singer, returning home from a latesupper? But he dismissed this opinion even as he advanced it. He knewsomething about grand operasingers. They attend late suppers, it istrue, but they ride home in luxurious carriages and never risk theirgolden voices in this careless if romantic fashion. And inNew Yorknobody took the trouble to serenade anybody else, unless paid in advanceand armed with a police permit. As for being a comic-opera star, herefused toadmit the possibility; and he relegated this well-satisfiedconstellation to the darks of limbo. He had heard a Voice.A vast, shadow loomed up in the middle of thestreet, presently to takeupon itself the solid outlines of a policeman who came lumbering over toadd or subtract his quota of interest in the affair. Hillardwiselystopped and waited for him, pulling up the collar of his jacket, as hebegan to note that there was a winter's tang to the fog.\"Hi, what's all this?\" thepoliceman called out roughly.\"To what do you refer?\" Hillard counter-questioned, puffing. He slippedhis hands into the pockets of his jacket.\"I heard a womansingin', that's what!\" explained the guardian of thelaw.\"So did I.\"\"Oh, you did, huh?\"\"Certainly. It is patent that my ears are as good as yours.\"\"Huh! Seeher?\"\"For a moment,\" Hillard admitted.\"Well, we can't have none o' this in the streets. It's disorderly.\"\"My friend,\" said Hillard, rather annoyed at the policeman'stone, \"youdon't think for an instant that I was directing this operetta?\"\"Think? Where's your hat?\"Hillard ran his hand over his head. The policeman had him here.\"I didnot bring it out.\"\"Too warm and summery; huh? It don't look good. I've been watchin' theseparts fer a leddy. They call her Leddy Lightfinger; an' she hassome O'the gents done to a pulp when it comes to liftin' jools an' trinkets.Somebody fergits to lock the front door, an' she finds it out. Why didyou come outwithout yer lid?\"\"Just forgot it, that's all.\"\"Which way'd she go?\"\"You'll need a map and a search-light. I started to run after hermyself. I heard a voice from mywindow; I saw a woman; I made for thestreet; _niente_!\"\"Huh?\"\"_Niente_, nothing!\"\"Oh! I see; Dago. Seems to me now that this woman was singin'I-taly-an,too.\" They were nearing the light, and the policeman gazed intently atthe hatless young man. \"Why, it's Mr. Hillard! I'm surprised. Well,well! Some dayI'll run in a bunch o' these chorus leddies, jes' fer alesson. They git lively at the restaurants over on Broadway, an' thinthey raise the dead with their singin',which, often as not, is anythin'but singin'. An' here it is, after one.\"\"But this was not a chorus lady,\" replied Hillard, thoughtfully reachinginto his vest for acigar.\"Sure, an' how do you know?\" with renewed suspicions.\"The lady had a singing voice.\"\"Huh! They all think alike about that. But mebbe she wasn't bad atthebusiness. Annyhow....\"\"It was rather out of time and place, eh?\" helpfully.\"That's about the size of it. This Leddy Lightfinger is a case. She hasus all thinkin' onour nights off. Clever an' edjicated, an' jabbers inhalf a dozen tongues. It's a thousan' to the man who jugs her. But shedon't sing; at least, they ain't any reportto that effect. Perhaps yourleddy was jes' larkin' a bit. But it's got to be stopped.\"Hillard passed over the cigar, and the policeman bit off the end,nodding withapproval at such foresight. The young man then profferedthe coal of his pipe and the policeman took his light therefrom,realizing that after such a peace-offeringthere was nothing for him todo but move on. Yet on dismal lonesome nights, like this one, it is agodsend and a comfort to hear one's own voice against thedarkness. Sohe lingered.\"Didn't get a peep at her face?\"\"Not a single feature. The light was behind her.\" Hillard tapped one toeand then the other.\"An' how wasshe dressed?\"\"In fog, for all I could see.\"\"On the level now, didn't you know who she was?\" The policeman gaveHillard a sly dig in the ribs with his club.\"On myword!\"\"Some swell, mebbe.\"\"Undoubtedly a lady. That's why it looks odd, why it brought me into thestreet. She sang in classic Italian. And what's more, for theprivilegeof hearing that voice again, I should not mind sitting on this cold curbtill the milkman comes around in the morning.\"\"That wouldn't be fer long,\" laughedthe policeman, taking out his watchand holding it close to the end of his cigar. \"Twenty minutes after one.Well, I must be gittin' back to me beat. An' you'd betterbe goin' in;it's cold. Good night.\"\"Good night,\" Hillard responded cheerfully.\"Say, what's I-taly-an fer good night?\" still reluctant to go on.\"_Buona notte._\"\"Bonynotty; huh, sounds like Chinese fer rheumatism. Been to Italy?\"\"I was born there,\" patiently.\"No! Why, you're no Dago!\"\"Not so much as an eyelash. The storkhappened to drop the basket there,that's all.\"\"Ha! I see. Well, Ameriky is good enough fer me an' mine,\" complacently.\"I dare say!\"\"An' if this stogy continues t'behave, we'll say no more about thevanishin' leddy.\" And with this the policeman strolled off into the fog,his suspicions in nowise removed. He knew many rich"}

THE NEW HAROUN AL RASCHIDTHE RESEARCHMAGNIFICENTTHE PRELUDEON FEAR AND ARISTOCRACY1The story of William Porphyry Benham is the story of a man who was ledinto adventure by an idea. Itwas an idea that took possession of hisimagination quite early in life, it grew with him and changed with him,it interwove at last completely with his being. Hisstory is its story.It was traceably germinating in the schoolboy; it was manifestly presentin his mind at the very last moment of his adventurous life. Hebelongedto that fortunate minority who are independent of daily necessities, sothat he was free to go about the world under its direction. It led himfar. It led himinto situations that bordered upon the fantastic, itmade him ridiculous, it came near to making him sublime. And this ideaof his was of such a nature that inseveral aspects he could documentit. Its logic forced him to introspection and to the making of a record.An idea that can play so large a part in a life mustnecessarily havesomething of the complication and protean quality of life itself. It isnot to be stated justly in any formula, it is not to be rendered by anepigram.As well one might show a man's skeleton for his portrait. Yet,essentially, Benham's idea was simple. He had an incurable, an almostinnate persuasion that he hadto live life nobly and thoroughly. Hiscommoner expression for that thorough living is \"the aristocratic life.\"But by \"aristocratic\" he meant something very differentfrom thequality of a Russian prince, let us say, or an English peer. He meant anintensity, a clearness.... Nobility for him was to get something out ofhis individualexistence, a flame, a jewel, a splendour--it is a thingeasier to understand than to say.One might hesitate to call this idea \"innate,\" and yet it comes sooninto a lifewhen it comes at all. In Benham's case we might trace itback to the Day Nursery at Seagate, we might detect it stirring alreadyat the petticoat stage, in variousprivate struttings and valiantdreamings with a helmet of pasteboard and a white-metal sword. We havemost of us been at least as far as that with Benham. Andwe havedied like Horatius, slaying our thousands for our country, or we haveperished at the stake or faced the levelled muskets of the firingparty--\"No, do notbandage my eyes\"--because we would not betray thesecret path that meant destruction to our city. But with Benham thevein was stronger, and it increasedinstead of fading out as he grewto manhood. It was less obscured by those earthy acquiescences, thosediscretions, that saving sense of proportion, which havemade most ofus so satisfactorily what we are. \"Porphyry,\" his mother had discoveredbefore he was seventeen, \"is an excellent boy, a brilliant boy, but, Ibegin tosee, just a little unbalanced.\"The interest of him, the absurdity of him, the story of him, is that.Most of us are--balanced; in spite of occasional reveries we docome toterms with the limitations of life, with those desires and dreams anddiscretions that, to say the least of it, qualify our nobility, we takerefuge in our senseof humour and congratulate ourselves on a certainamiable freedom from priggishness or presumption, but for Benham thateasy declension to a humorousacceptance of life as it is did not occur.He found his limitations soon enough; he was perpetuallyrediscovering them, but out of these interments of the spirit heroseagain--remarkably. When we others have decided that, to be plain aboutit, we are not going to lead the noble life at all, that the thing istoo ambitious andexpensive even to attempt, we have done so becausethere were other conceptions of existence that were good enough for us,we decided that instead of thatglorious impossible being of ourselves,we would figure in our own eyes as jolly fellows, or sly dogs, or sane,sound, capable men or brilliant successes, and soforth--practicablethings. For Benham, exceptionally, there were not these practicablethings. He blundered, he fell short of himself, he had--as you willbetold--some astonishing rebuffs, but they never turned him aside forlong. He went by nature for this preposterous idea of nobility as alinnet hatched in a cage willtry to fly.And when he discovered--and in this he was assisted not a little by hisfriend at his elbow--when he discovered that Nobility was not the simplething hehad at first supposed it to be, he set himself in a mood onlyslightly disconcerted to the discovery of Nobility. When it dawned uponhim, as it did, that one cannotbe noble, so to speak, IN VACUO, he sethimself to discover a Noble Society. He began with simple beliefs andfine attitudes and ended in a conscious research. Ifhe could not getthrough by a stride, then it followed that he must get through by aclimb. He spent the greater part of his life studying and experimentingin thenoble possibilities of man. He never lost his absurd faith inthat conceivable splendour. At first it was always just round the corneror just through the wood; to thelast it seemed still but a little waybeyond the distant mountains.For this reason this story has been called THE RESEARCH MAGNIFICENT. Itwas a real research, itwas documented. In the rooms in Westhaven Streetthat at last were as much as one could call his home, he had accumulatedmaterial for--one hesitates to call ita book--let us say it was ananalysis of, a guide to the noble life. There after his tragic deathcame his old friend White, the journalist and novelist, under apromise,and found these papers; he found them to the extent of a crammedbureau, half a score of patent files quite distended and a writing-tabledrawer-full, andhe was greatly exercised to find them. They were,White declares, they are still after much experienced handling, anindigestible aggregation. On this point Whiteis very assured. WhenBenham thought he was gathering together a book he was dreaming, Whitesays. There is no book in it....Perhaps too, one might hazard,Benham was dreaming when he thought thenoble life a human possibility. Perhaps man, like the ape and the hyaenaand the tapeworm and many other of God'snecessary but less attractivecreatures, is not for such exalted ends. That doubt never seems to havegot a lodgment in Benham's skull; though at times one mightsuppose itthe basis of White's thought. You will find in all Benham's story,if only it can be properly told, now subdued, now loud and amazed anddistressed, butalways traceable, this startled, protesting question,\"BUT WHY THE DEVIL AREN'T WE?\" As though necessarily we ought to be.He never faltered in his persuasionthat behind the dingy face of thisworld, the earthy stubbornness, the baseness and dulness of himselfand all of us, lurked the living jewels of heaven, the light ofglory,things unspeakable. At first it seemed to him that one had only just tohammer and will, and at the end, after a life of willing and hammering,he was stillconvinced there was something, something in the nature ofan Open Sesame, perhaps a little more intricate than one had supposedat first, a little more difficult tosecure, but still in that nature,which would suddenly roll open for mankind the magic cave of theuniverse, that precious cave at the heart of all things, in whichonemust believe.And then life--life would be the wonder it so perplexingly justisn't....2Benham did not go about the world telling people of thisconsumingresearch. He was not the prophet or preacher of his idea. It was tooliving and intricate and uncertain a part of him to speak freely about.It was hissecret self; to expose it casually would have shamed him. Hedrew all sorts of reserves about him, he wore his manifest imperfectionsturned up about him like anovercoat in bitter wind. He was contentto be inexplicable. His thoughts led him to the conviction that thismagnificent research could not be, any more than anyother researchcan be, a solitary enterprise, but he delayed expression; in a mightywriting and stowing away of these papers he found a relief from theunpleasanturgency to confess and explain himself prematurely. So thatWhite, though he knew Benham with the intimacy of an old schoolfellowwho had renewed hisfriendship, and had shared his last days and been awitness of his death, read the sheets of manuscript often with surpriseand with a sense of addedelucidation.And, being also a trained maker of books, White as he read was moreand more distressed that an accumulation so interesting should be soentirelyunshaped for publication. \"But this will never make a book,\"said White with a note of personal grievance. His hasty promise in theirlast moments together hadbound him, it seemed, to a task he now foundimpossible. He would have to work upon it tremendously; and even then hedid not see how it could be done.Thiscollection of papers was not a story, not an essay, not aconfession, not a diary. It was--nothing definable. It went into noconceivable covers. It was just, Whitedecided, a proliferation. A vastproliferation. It wanted even a title. There were signs that Benham hadintended to call it THE ARISTOCRATIC LIFE, and that he hadtried at someother time the title of AN ESSAY ON ARISTOCRACY. Moreover, it wouldseem that towards the end he had been disposed to drop theword\"aristocratic\" altogether, and adopt some such phrase as THE LARGERLIFE. Once it was LIFE SET FREE. He had fallen away more and more fromnearlyeverything that one associates with aristocracy--at the end onlyits ideals of fearlessness and generosity remained.Of all these titles THE ARISTOCRATIC LIFEseemed at first most likea clue to White. Benham's erratic movements, his sudden impulses, hisangers, his unaccountable patiences, his journeys to strangeplaces, andhis lapses into what had seemed to be pure adventurousness, could all beput into system with that. Before White had turned over three pages ofthegreat fascicle of manuscript that was called Book Two, he had foundthe word \"Bushido\" written with a particularly flourishing capitalletter and twice repeated.\"That was inevitable,\" said White with thecomforting regret one feels for a friend's banalities. \"And it dates...[unreadable] this was early....\"\"Modern aristocracy,the new aristocracy,\" he read presently, \"has stillto be discovered and understood. This is the necessary next step formankind. As far as possible I will discoverand understand it, and asfar as I know it I will be it. This is the essential disposition of mymind. God knows I have appetites and sloths and habits andblindnesses,but so far as it is in my power to release myself I will escape tothis....\"3White sat far into the night and for several nights turning over papersand"}

G. WELLS                        T. FISHER UNWIN,LTD.                       LONDON; ADELPHI TERRACE                      _First published in 1915_                        (All rights reserved)INTRODUCTIONWhenever apublisher gets a book by one author he wants an Introductionwritten to it by another, and Mr. Fisher Unwin is no exception to therule. Nobody readsIntroductions, they serve no useful purpose, andthey give no pleasure, but they appeal to the business mind, I think,because as a rule they cost nothing. At anyrate, by the pressure of acertain inseparable intimacy between Mr. Reginald Bliss and myself,this Introduction has been extracted from me. I will confess thatIhave not read his book through, though I have a kind of first-handknowledge of its contents, and that it seems to me an indiscreet,ill-advised book....I have avery strong suspicion that this Introduction idea is designedto entangle me in the responsibility for the book. In America, at anyrate, \"The Life of George Meek,Bath Chairman,\" was ascribed to meupon no better evidence. Yet any one who likes may go to Eastbourneand find Meek with chair and all complete. But in viewof thecomplications of the book market and the large simplicities of thepublic mind, I do hope that the reader--and by that I mean thereviewer--will be able to seethe reasonableness and the necessity ofdistinguishing between me and Mr. Reginald Bliss. I do not wish toescape the penalties of thus participating in, andendorsing, hismanifest breaches of good taste, literary decorum, and friendlyobligation, but as a writer whose reputation is already too crowdedand confused andwho is for the ordinary purposes of every day knownmainly as a novelist, I should be glad if I could escape the publicidentification I am now repudiating. Bliss isBliss and Wells isWells. And Bliss can write all sorts of things that Wells could notdo.This Introduction has really no more to say thanthat.                                                      H. G. WELLS.CONTENTSINTRODUCTIONCHAPTER THE FIRSTTHE BACK OF MISS BATHWICK AND GEORGEBOONCHAPTER THE SECONDBEING THE FIRST CHAPTER OF \"THE MIND OF THE RACE\"CHAPTER THE THIRDTHE GREAT SLUMP, THE REVIVAL OF LETTERS, ANDTHE GARDEN BY THE SEACHAPTER THE FOURTHOF ART, OF LITERATURE, OF MR HENRY JAMESCHAPTER THE FIFTHOF THE ASSEMBLING AND OPENING OF THEWORLD CONFERENCE ON THE MIND OFTHE RACECHAPTER THE SIXTHOF NOT LIKING HALLERY AND THE ROYAL SOCIETY FOR THE DISCOURAGEMENTOFLITERATURECHAPTER THE SEVENTHWILKINS MAKES CERTAIN OBJECTIONSCHAPTER THE EIGHTHTHE BEGINNING OF \"THE WILD ASSES OF THEDEVIL\"CHAPTER THE NINTHTHE HUNTING OF THE WILD ASSES OF THE DEVILCHAPTER THE TENTHTHE STORY OF THE LAST TRUMP       BOON, THE MIND OFTHE RACE, THE WILD ASSES OF THE DEVIL,                        _and_ THE LAST TRUMPCHAPTER THE FIRSTThe Back of Miss Bathwick and George Boon§ 1It isquite probable that the reader does not know of the death ofGeorge Boon, and that \"remains\" before his name upon the title-pagewill be greeted with a certainastonishment. In the ordinary course ofthings, before the explosion of the war, the death of George Boonwould have been an event--oh! a three-quarters of acolumn or more inthe _Times_ event, and articles in the monthlies and reminiscences. Asit is, he is not so much dead as missing. Something happened attheeleventh hour--I think it was chiefly the Admiralty report of thefight off the Falkland Islands--that blew his obituary notices cleanout of the papers. And yet hewas one of our most popular writers, andin America I am told he was in the \"hundred thousand class.\" But nowwe think only of Lord Kitchener's hundredthousands.It is no good pretending about it. The war has ended all that. Boondied with his age. After the war there will be a new sort ofbook-trade and a crop ofnew writers and a fresh tone, and everythingwill be different. This is an obituary, of more than George Boon.... Iregard the outlook with profound dismay. I try tokeep my mind off itby drilling with the Shrewsbury last line of volunteers and trainingdown the excrescences of my physical style. When the war is over willbetime enough to consider the prospects of a superannuated man ofletters. We National Volunteers are now no mere soldiers on paper; wehave fairly washablebadges by way of uniform; we have boughtourselves dummy rifles; we have persuaded the War Office to give us areluctant recognition on the distinctunderstanding that we haveneither officers nor authority. In the event of an invasion, Iunderstand, we are to mobilize and ... do quite a number of usefulthings.But until there is an invasion in actual progress, nothing isto be decided more precisely than what this whiff of printer'sshrapnel, these four full stops,conveys....§ 2I must confess I was monstrously disappointed when at last I could getmy hands into those barrels in the attic in which Boon had stored hissecretwritings. There was more perhaps than I had expected; I do notcomplain of the quantity, but of the disorder, the incompleteness, thewant of discipline andforethought.Boon had talked so often and so convincingly of these secret books hewas writing, he had alluded so frequently to this or that greatproject, he wouldbegin so airily with \"In the seventeenth chapter ofmy 'Wild Asses of the Devil,'\" or \"I have been recasting the thirdpart of our 'Mind of the Race,'\" that it came asan enormous shock tome to find there was no seventeenth chapter; there was not even acompleted first chapter to the former work, and as for the latter,thereseems nothing really finished or settled at all beyond thefragments I am now issuing, except a series of sketches of LordRosebery, for the most part in a toga anda wreath, engaged in alettered retirement at his villa at Epsom, and labelled \"PatricianDignity, the Last Phase\"--sketches I suppress as of no presentinterest--anda complete gallery of imaginary portraits (with severalduplicates) of the Academic Committee that has done so much forBritish literature (the Polignac prize, forexample, and Sir HenryNewbolt's professorship) in the last four or five years. Soincredulous was I that this was all, that I pushed my inquiries fromtheir originalfield in the attic into other parts of the house,pushed them, indeed, to the very verge of ransacking, and in that Igreatly deepened the want of sympathy alreadyseparating me from Mrs.Boon. But I was stung by a thwarted sense of duty, and quite resolvedthat no ill-advised interference should stand between me andthepublication of what Boon has always represented to me as the mostintimate productions of his mind.Yet now the first rush of executorial emotion is over I canbegin todoubt about Boon's intention in making me his \"literary executor.\" Didhe, after all, intend these pencilled scraps, these marginalcaricatures, and--whatseems to me most objectionable--annotatedletters from harmless prominent people for publication? Or was hisselection of me his last effort to prolong what was,I think, if oneof the slightest, one also of the most sustained interests of hislife, and that was a prolonged faint jeering at my expense? Becausealways--it wasnever hidden from me--in his most earnest moments Boonjeered at me. I do not know why he jeered at me, it was always ratherpointless jeering and far belowhis usual level, but jeer he did. Evenwhile we talked most earnestly and brewed our most intoxicatingdraughts of project and conviction, there was always thisscarceperceptible blossom and flavour of ridicule floating like a drowningsprig of blue borage in the cup. His was indeed essentially one ofthose suspended mindsthat float above the will and action; when atlast reality could be evaded no longer it killed him; he never reallybelieved nor felt the urgent need that goads mymore accurate natureto believe and do. Always when I think of us together, I feel that Iam on my legs and that he sits about. And yet he could tell me thingsIsought to know, prove what I sought to believe, shape beliefs to aconviction in me that I alone could never attain.He took life as it came, let his fancy play uponit, selected,elucidated, ignored, threw the result in jest or observation orelaborate mystification at us, and would have no more of it.... Hewould be earnest for atime and then break away. \"The Last Trump\" isquite typical of the way in which he would turn upon himself. It setsout so straight for magnificence; it breaks offso abominably. Youwill read it.Yet he took things more seriously than he seemed to do.This war, I repeat, killed him. He could not escape it. It bore himdown. Hedid his best to disregard it. But its worst stresses caughthim in the climax of a struggle with a fit of pneumonia brought on bya freak of bathing by moonlight--inan English October, a thing he didto distract his mind from the tension after the Marne--and itdestroyed him. The last news they told him was that the Germanshadmade their \"shoot and scuttle\" raid upon Whitby and Scarborough. Therewas much circumstantial description in the morning's paper. They hadsmashed up anumber of houses and killed some hundreds of people,chiefly women and children. Ten little children had been killed ormutilated in a bunch on their way toschool, two old ladies at aboarding-house had had their legs smashed, and so on.\"Take this newspaper,\" he said, and held it out to his nurse. \"Takeit,\" herepeated irritably, and shook it at her.He stared at it as it receded. Then he seemed to be staring at distantthings.\"Wild Asses of the Devil,\" he said at last. \"Oh!Wild Asses of theDevil! I thought somehow it was a joke. It wasn't a joke. There theyare, and the world is theirs.\"And he turned his face to the wall and never"}

If oursilly censorship would permit its performance, it might possibly help tosetright-side-up the perverted conscience and re-invigorate the starvedself-respect of our considerable class of loose-lived playgoers whosepoint of honor is toderide all official and conventional sermons. As itis, it only gives me an opportunity of telling the story of the SelectCommittee of both Houses of Parliament whichsat last year to enquireinto the working of the censorship, against which it was alleged bymyself and others that as its imbecility and mischievousness could notbefully illustrated within the limits of decorum imposed on the press,it could only be dealt with by a parliamentary body subject to no suchlimits.A READABLEBLUEBOOKFew books of the year 1909 can have been cheaper and more entertainingthan the report of this Committee. Its full title is REPORT FROM THEJOINTSELECT COMMITTEE OF THE HOUSE OF LORDS AND THE HOUSE OF COMMONSON THE STAGE PLAYS (CENSORSHIP) TOGETHER WITH THE PROCEEDINGS OFTHECOMMITTEE, MINUTES OF EVIDENCE, AND APPENDICES. What the phrase \"theStage Plays\" means in this title I do not know; nor does anyone else.Thenumber of the Bluebook is 214.How interesting it is may be judged from the fact that it containsverbatim reports of long and animated interviews between theCommitteeand such witnesses as W. William Archer, Mr. Granville Barker, Mr. J.M. Barrie, Mr. Forbes Robertson, Mr. Cecil Raleigh, Mr. John Galsworthy,Mr.Laurence Housman, Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree, Mr. W. L. Courtney, SirWilliam Gilbert, Mr. A. B. Walkley, Miss Lena Ashwell, Professor GilbertMurray, Mr. GeorgeAlexander, Mr. George Edwardes, Mr. Comyns Carr,the Speaker of the House of Commons, the Bishop of Southwark, Mr. HallCaine, Mr. Israel Zangwill, Sir SquireBancroft, Sir Arthur Pinero, andMr. Gilbert Chesterton, not to mention myself and a number of gentlemenless well known to the general public, but important inthe world of thetheatre. The publication of a book by so many famous contributors wouldbe beyond the means of any commercial publishing firm. HisMajesty'sStationery Office sells it to all comers by weight at the veryreasonable price of three-and-threepence a copy.HOW NOT TO DO ITIt was pointed out byCharles Dickens in Little Dorrit, which remainsthe most accurate and penetrating study of the genteel littleness ofour class governments in the English language,that whenever an abusebecomes oppressive enough to persuade our party parliamentariansthat something must be done, they immediately set to work tofacethe situation and discover How Not To Do It. Since Dickens's daythe exposures effected by the Socialists have so shattered theself-satisfaction of moderncommercial civilization that it is no longerdifficult to convince our governments that something must be done,even to the extent of attempts at a reconstruction ofcivilization ona thoroughly uncommercial basis. Consequently, the first part of theprocess described by Dickens: that in which the reformers were snubbedby frontbench demonstrations that the administrative departments wereconsuming miles of red tape in the correctest forms of activity, andthat everything was for thebest in the best of all possible worlds,is out of fashion; and we are in that other phase, familiarized by thehistory of the French Revolution, in which the primaryassumption isthat the country is in danger, and that the first duty of all parties,politicians, and governments is to save it. But as the effect of thisis to givegovernments a great many more things to do, it also gives apowerful stimulus to the art of How Not To Do Them: that is to say, theart of contriving methods ofreform which will leave matters exactly asthey are.The report of the Joint Select Committee is a capital illustration ofthis tendency. The case against thecensorship was overwhelming; and thedefence was more damaging to it than no defence at all could havebeen. Even had this not been so, the mere caprice ofopinion had turnedagainst the institution; and a reform was expected, evidence or noevidence. Therefore the Committee was unanimous as to the necessityofreforming the censorship; only, unfortunately, the majority attachedto this unanimity the usual condition that nothing should be done todisturb the existingstate of things. How this was effected may begathered from the recommendations finally agreed on, which are asfollows.1. The drama is to be set entirely free bythe abolition of the existingobligation to procure a licence from the Censor before performing aplay; but every theatre lease is in future to be construed as ifitcontained a clause giving the landlord power to break it and evict thelessee if he produces a play without first obtaining the usual licencefrom the LordChamberlain.2. Some of the plays licensed by the Lord Chamberlain are so viciousthat their present practical immunity from prosecution must be put anend to;but no manager who procures the Lord Chamberlain's licence fora play can be punished in any way for producing it, though a specialtribunal may order him todiscontinue the performance; and even thisorder must not be recorded to his disadvantage on the licence of histheatre, nor may it be given as a judicial reasonfor cancelling thatlicence.3. Authors and managers producing plays without first obtaining theusual licence from the Lord Chamberlain shall be perfectly free todoso, and shall be at no disadvantage compared to those who follow theexisting practice, except that they may be punished, have the licencesof their theatresendorsed and cancelled, and have the performancestopped pending the proceedings without compensation in the event of theproceedings ending in theiracquittal.4. Authors are to be rescued from their present subjection to anirresponsible secret tribunal which can condemn their plays withoutgiving reasons, bythe substitution for that tribunal of a Committee ofthe Privy Council, which is to be the final authority on the fitness ofa play for representation; and thisCommittee is to sit in camera if andwhen it pleases.5. The power to impose a veto on the production of plays is to beabolished because it may hinder the growthof a great national drama;but the Office of Examiner of Plays shall be continued; and the LordChamberlain shall retain his present powers to license plays, butshallbe made responsible to Parliament to the extent of making it possibleto ask questions there concerning his proceedings, especially now thatmembers havediscovered a method of doing this indirectly.And so on, and so forth. The thing is to be done; and it is not to bedone. Everything is to be changed and nothing isto be changed. Theproblem is to be faced and the solution to be shirked. And the word ofDickens is to be justified.THE STORY OF THE JOINT SELECTCOMMITTEELet me now tell the story of the Committee in greater detail, partly asa contribution to history; partly because, like most true stories, it ismoreamusing than the official story.All commissions of public enquiry are more or less intimidated bothby the interests on which they have to sit in judgment and,whentheir members are party politicians, by the votes at the back of thoseinterests; but this unfortunate Committee sat under a quite exceptionalcross fire. First,there was the king. The Censor is a member of hishousehold retinue; and as a king's retinue has to be jealously guardedto avoid curtailment of the royal state nomatter what may be thefunction of the particular retainer threatened, nothing but anexpress royal intimation to the contrary, which is aconstitutionalimpossibility, could have relieved the Committee from the fear ofdispleasing the king by any proposal to abolish the censorship of theLordChamberlain. Now all the lords on the Committee and some of thecommoners could have been wiped out of society (in their sense of theword) by the slightestintimation that the king would prefer not to meetthem; and this was a heavy risk to run on the chance of \"a great andserious national drama\" ensuing on theremoval of the Lord Chamberlain'sveto on Mrs Warren's Profession. Second, there was the Nonconformistconscience, holding the Liberal Government responsiblefor the Committeeit had appointed, and holding also, to the extent of votes enough toturn the scale in some constituencies, that the theatre is the gate ofhell, tobe tolerated, as vice is tolerated, only because the power tosuppress it could not be given to any public body without too serious aninterference with certainLiberal traditions of liberty which are stilluseful to Nonconformists in other directions. Third, there was thecommercial interest of the theatrical managers and theirsyndicates ofbackers in the City, to whom, as I shall shew later on, the censorshipaffords a cheap insurance of enormous value. Fourth, there was thepowerfulinterest of the trade in intoxicating liquors, fiercelydetermined to resist any extension of the authority of teetotaller-ledlocal governing bodies over theatres. Fifth,there were the playwrights,without political power, but with a very close natural monopoly of atalent not only for play-writing but for satirical polemics. Andsinceevery interest has its opposition, all these influences had createdhostile bodies by the operation of the mere impulse to contradict them,always strong inEnglish human nature.WHY THE MANAGERS LOVE THE CENSORSHIPThe only one of these influences which seems to be generallymisunderstood is that of themanagers. It has been assumed repeatedlythat managers and authors are affected in the same way by thecensorship. When a prominent author protests againstthe censorship, hisopinion is supposed to be balanced by that of some prominent managerwho declares that the censorship is the mainstay of the theatre, andhisrelations with the Lord Chamberlain and the Examiner of Plays acherished privilege and an inexhaustible joy. This error was not removedby the evidence givenbefore the Joint Select Committee. The managersdid not make their case clear there, partly because they did notunderstand it, and partly because their mosteminent witnesses were notpersonally affected by it, and would not condescend to plead it, feelingthemselves, on the contrary, compelled by their self-respect toadmitand even emphasize the fact that the Lord Chamberlain in the exercise ofhis duties as licenser had done those things which he ought not tohave done, and"}

(Kingsley) Newby and Greg NewbyTHELEGEND OF SLEEPY HOLLOWby Washington IrvingFOUND AMONG THE PAPERS OF THE LATE DIEDRICH KNICKERBOCKER.        A pleasing land of drowsy head itwas,          Of dreams that wave before the half-shut eye;        And of gay castles in the clouds that pass,          Forever flushing round a summersky.                                         CASTLE OF INDOLENCE.In the bosom of one of those spacious coves which indent the easternshore of the Hudson, at that broadexpansion of the river denominatedby the ancient Dutch navigators the Tappan Zee, and where they alwaysprudently shortened sail and implored the protectionof St. Nicholaswhen they crossed, there lies a small market town or rural port, whichby some is called Greensburgh, but which is more generally andproperlyknown by the name of Tarry Town. This name was given, we are told, informer days, by the good housewives of the adjacent country, from theinveteratepropensity of their husbands to linger about the villagetavern on market days. Be that as it may, I do not vouch for the fact,but merely advert to it, for the sakeof being precise and authentic.Not far from this village, perhaps about two miles, there is a littlevalley or rather lap of land among high hills, which is one ofthequietest places in the whole world. A small brook glides through it,with just murmur enough to lull one to repose; and the occasionalwhistle of a quail ortapping of a woodpecker is almost the only soundthat ever breaks in upon the uniform tranquillity.I recollect that, when a stripling, my first exploitinsquirrel-shooting was in a grove of tall walnut-trees that shades oneside of the valley. I had wandered into it at noontime, when all natureis peculiarly quiet,and was startled by the roar of my own gun, as itbroke the Sabbath stillness around and was prolonged and reverberatedby the angry echoes. If ever I shouldwish for a retreat whither I mightsteal from the world and its distractions, and dream quietly away theremnant of a troubled life, I know of none more promisingthan thislittle valley.From the listless repose of the place, and the peculiar character of itsinhabitants, who are descendants from the original Dutch settlers,thissequestered glen has long been known by the name of SLEEPY HOLLOW, andits rustic lads are called the Sleepy Hollow Boys throughout all theneighboringcountry. A drowsy, dreamy influence seems to hang over theland, and to pervade the very atmosphere. Some say that the placewas bewitched by a High Germandoctor, during the early days of thesettlement; others, that an old Indian chief, the prophet or wizard ofhis tribe, held his powwows there before the country wasdiscovered byMaster Hendrick Hudson. Certain it is, the place still continues underthe sway of some witching power, that holds a spell over the minds ofthe goodpeople, causing them to walk in a continual reverie. They aregiven to all kinds of marvellous beliefs, are subject to trances andvisions, and frequently see strangesights, and hear music and voices inthe air. The whole neighborhood abounds with local tales, haunted spots,and twilight superstitions; stars shoot and meteorsglare oftener acrossthe valley than in any other part of the country, and the nightmare,with her whole ninefold, seems to make it the favorite scene ofhergambols.The dominant spirit, however, that haunts this enchanted region, andseems to be commander-in-chief of all the powers of the air, is theapparition ofa figure on horseback, without a head. It is said by someto be the ghost of a Hessian trooper, whose head had been carried awayby a cannon-ball, in somenameless battle during the Revolutionary War,and who is ever and anon seen by the country folk hurrying along inthe gloom of night, as if on the wings of thewind. His haunts are notconfined to the valley, but extend at times to the adjacent roads, andespecially to the vicinity of a church at no great distance.Indeed,certain of the most authentic historians of those parts, who have beencareful in collecting and collating the floating facts concerning thisspectre, allegethat the body of the trooper having been buried in thechurchyard, the ghost rides forth to the scene of battle in nightlyquest of his head, and that the rushingspeed with which he sometimespasses along the Hollow, like a midnight blast, is owing to his beingbelated, and in a hurry to get back to the churchyard beforedaybreak.Such is the general purport of this legendary superstition, which hasfurnished materials for many a wild story in that region of shadows; andthe spectreis known at all the country firesides, by the name of theHeadless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow.It is remarkable that the visionary propensity I have mentioned isnotconfined to the native inhabitants of the valley, but is unconsciouslyimbibed by every one who resides there for a time. However wide awakethey may havebeen before they entered that sleepy region, they aresure, in a little time, to inhale the witching influence of the air, andbegin to grow imaginative, to dreamdreams, and see apparitions.I mention this peaceful spot with all possible laud, for it is in suchlittle retired Dutch valleys, found here and there embosomed inthegreat State of New York, that population, manners, and customs remainfixed, while the great torrent of migration and improvement, which ismaking suchincessant changes in other parts of this restless country,sweeps by them unobserved. They are like those little nooks of stillwater, which border a rapid stream,where we may see the straw andbubble riding quietly at anchor, or slowly revolving in their mimicharbor, undisturbed by the rush of the passing current. Thoughmanyyears have elapsed since I trod the drowsy shades of Sleepy Hollow, yetI question whether I should not still find the same trees and the samefamiliesvegetating in its sheltered bosom.In this by-place of nature there abode, in a remote period of Americanhistory, that is to say, some thirty years since, a worthywight of thename of Ichabod Crane, who sojourned, or, as he expressed it, \"tarried,\"in Sleepy Hollow, for the purpose of instructing the children of thevicinity. Hewas a native of Connecticut, a State which supplies theUnion with pioneers for the mind as well as for the forest, and sendsforth yearly its legions of frontierwoodmen and country schoolmasters.The cognomen of Crane was not inapplicable to his person. He was tall,but exceedingly lank, with narrow shoulders, longarms and legs, handsthat dangled a mile out of his sleeves, feet that might have served forshovels, and his whole frame most loosely hung together. His headwassmall, and flat at top, with huge ears, large green glassy eyes, and along snipe nose, so that it looked like a weather-cock perched upon hisspindle neck to tellwhich way the wind blew. To see him striding alongthe profile of a hill on a windy day, with his clothes bagging andfluttering about him, one might have mistakenhim for the genius offamine descending upon the earth, or some scarecrow eloped from acornfield.His schoolhouse was a low building of one large room, rudelyconstructedof logs; the windows partly glazed, and partly patched with leaves ofold copybooks. It was most ingeniously secured at vacant hours, by awithetwisted in the handle of the door, and stakes set against thewindow shutters; so that though a thief might get in with perfect ease,he would find someembarrassment in getting out,--an idea most probablyborrowed by the architect, Yost Van Houten, from the mystery of aneelpot. The schoolhouse stood in arather lonely but pleasant situation,just at the foot of a woody hill, with a brook running close by, anda formidable birch-tree growing at one end of it. From hencethe lowmurmur of his pupils' voices, conning over their lessons, might be heardin a drowsy summer's day, like the hum of a beehive; interrupted now andthen bythe authoritative voice of the master, in the tone of menace orcommand, or, peradventure, by the appalling sound of the birch, as heurged some tardy loitereralong the flowery path of knowledge. Truth tosay, he was a conscientious man, and ever bore in mind the golden maxim,\"Spare the rod and spoil the child.\"Ichabod Crane's scholars certainlywere not spoiled.I would not have it imagined, however, that he was one of those cruelpotentates of the school who joy in thesmart of their subjects; onthe contrary, he administered justice with discrimination rather thanseverity; taking the burden off the backs of the weak, and laying itonthose of the strong. Your mere puny stripling, that winced at the leastflourish of the rod, was passed by with indulgence; but the claims ofjustice were satisfiedby inflicting a double portion on some littletough wrong-headed, broad-skirted Dutch urchin, who sulked and swelledand grew dogged and sullen beneath thebirch. All this he called \"doinghis duty by their parents;\" and he never inflicted a chastisementwithout following it by the assurance, so consolatory to thesmartingurchin, that \"he would remember it and thank him for it the longest dayhe had to live.\"When school hours were over, he was even the companion andplaymateof the larger boys; and on holiday afternoons would convoy some ofthe smaller ones home, who happened to have pretty sisters, or goodhousewives formothers, noted for the comforts of the cupboard. Indeed,it behooved him to keep on good terms with his pupils. The revenuearising from his school was small,and would have been scarcelysufficient to furnish him with daily bread, for he was a huge feeder,and, though lank, had the dilating powers of an anaconda; but tohelpout his maintenance, he was, according to country custom in thoseparts, boarded and lodged at the houses of the farmers whose childrenhe instructed. Withthese he lived successively a week at a time, thusgoing the rounds of the neighborhood, with all his worldly effects tiedup in a cotton handkerchief.That all thismight not be too onerous on the purses of his rusticpatrons, who are apt to consider the costs of schooling a grievousburden, and schoolmasters as mere drones,he had various ways ofrendering himself both useful and agreeable. He assisted the farmersoccasionally in the lighter labors of their farms, helped to makehay,mended the fences, took the horses to water, drove the cows frompasture, and cut wood for the winter fire. He laid aside, too, all thedominant dignity andabsolute sway with which he lorded it in his littleempire, the school, and became wonderfully gentle and ingratiating.He found favor in the eyes of the mothers bypetting the children,particularly the youngest; and like the lion bold, which whilom somagnanimously the lamb did hold, he would sit with a child on one knee,androck a cradle with his foot for whole hours together.In addition to his other vocations, he was the singing-master of theneighborhood, and picked up many bright"}

Iacono and David WidgerMcTEAGUEA Story of San Franciscoby Frank NorrisCHAPTER 1It was Sunday, and,according to his custom on that day, McTeague tookhis dinner at two in the afternoon at the car conductors' coffee-jointon Polk Street. He had a thick gray soup;heavy, underdone meat, veryhot, on a cold plate; two kinds of vegetables; and a sort of suetpudding, full of strong butter and sugar. On his way back to hisoffice,one block above, he stopped at Joe Frenna's saloon and bought a pitcherof steam beer. It was his habit to leave the pitcher there on his way todinner.Oncein his office, or, as he called it on his signboard, \"DentalParlors,\" he took off his coat and shoes, unbuttoned his vest, and,having crammed his little stove full ofcoke, lay back in his operatingchair at the bay window, reading the paper, drinking his beer, andsmoking his huge porcelain pipe while his food digested;crop-full,stupid, and warm. By and by, gorged with steam beer, and overcome by theheat of the room, the cheap tobacco, and the effects of his heavy meal,hedropped off to sleep. Late in the afternoon his canary bird, in itsgilt cage just over his head, began to sing. He woke slowly, finishedthe rest of his beer--very flatand stale by this time--and taking downhis concertina from the bookcase, where in week days it kept the companyof seven volumes of \"Allen's Practical Dentist,\"played upon it somehalf-dozen very mournful airs.McTeague looked forward to these Sunday afternoons as a period ofrelaxation and enjoyment. He invariablyspent them in the same fashion.These were his only pleasures--to eat, to smoke, to sleep, and to playupon his concertina.The six lugubrious airs that he knew,always carried him back to thetime when he was a car-boy at the Big Dipper Mine in Placer County, tenyears before. He remembered the years he had spentthere trundling theheavy cars of ore in and out of the tunnel under the direction of hisfather. For thirteen days of each fortnight his father was asteady,hard-working shift-boss of the mine. Every other Sunday he became anirresponsible animal, a beast, a brute, crazy with alcohol.McTeague rememberedhis mother, too, who, with the help of the Chinaman,cooked for forty miners. She was an overworked drudge, fiery andenergetic for all that, filled with the oneidea of having her son risein life and enter a profession. The chance had come at last when thefather died, corroded with alcohol, collapsing in a few hours. Twoorthree years later a travelling dentist visited the mine and put up histent near the bunk-house. He was more or less of a charlatan, but hefired Mrs. McTeague'sambition, and young McTeague went away with himto learn his profession. He had learnt it after a fashion, mostly bywatching the charlatan operate. He had readmany of the necessary books,but he was too hopelessly stupid to get much benefit from them.Then one day at San Francisco had come the news of his mother'sdeath;she had left him some money--not much, but enough to set him up inbusiness; so he had cut loose from the charlatan and had opened his\"Dental Parlors\"on Polk Street, an \"accommodation street\" of smallshops in the residence quarter of the town. Here he had slowlycollected a clientele of butcher boys, shop girls,drug clerks, and carconductors. He made but few acquaintances. Polk Street called him the\"Doctor\" and spoke of his enormous strength. For McTeague was ayounggiant, carrying his huge shock of blond hair six feet three inchesfrom the ground; moving his immense limbs, heavy with ropes of muscle,slowly,ponderously. His hands were enormous, red, and covered with afell of stiff yellow hair; they were hard as wooden mallets, strongas vises, the hands of theold-time car-boy. Often he dispensed withforceps and extracted a refractory tooth with his thumb and finger.His head was square-cut, angular; the jaw salient,like that of thecarnivora.McTeague's mind was as his body, heavy, slow to act, sluggish. Yet therewas nothing vicious about the man. Altogether he suggested thedraughthorse, immensely strong, stupid, docile, obedient.When he opened his \"Dental Parlors,\" he felt that his life was asuccess, that he could hope for nothingbetter. In spite of the name,there was but one room. It was a corner room on the second floor overthe branch post-office, and faced the street. McTeague made itdo fora bedroom as well, sleeping on the big bed-lounge against the wallopposite the window. There was a washstand behind the screen in thecorner where hemanufactured his moulds. In the round bay window werehis operating chair, his dental engine, and the movable rack on whichhe laid out his instruments. Threechairs, a bargain at the second-handstore, ranged themselves against the wall with military precisionunderneath a steel engraving of the court of Lorenzo de'Medici, whichhe had bought because there were a great many figures in it for themoney. Over the bed-lounge hung a rifle manufacturer's advertisementcalendarwhich he never used. The other ornaments were a smallmarble-topped centre table covered with back numbers of \"The AmericanSystem of Dentistry,\" a stonepug dog sitting before the little stove,and a thermometer. A stand of shelves occupied one corner, filled withthe seven volumes of \"Allen's Practical Dentist.\" Onthe top shelfMcTeague kept his concertina and a bag of bird seed for the canary. Thewhole place exhaled a mingled odor of bedding, creosote, and ether.But forone thing, McTeague would have been perfectly contented. Justoutside his window was his signboard--a modest affair--that read:\"Doctor McTeague. DentalParlors. Gas Given\"; but that was all. It washis ambition, his dream, to have projecting from that corner window ahuge gilded tooth, a molar with enormousprongs, something gorgeous andattractive. He would have it some day, on that he was resolved; but asyet such a thing was far beyond his means.When he hadfinished the last of his beer, McTeague slowly wiped hislips and huge yellow mustache with the side of his hand. Bull-like, heheaved himself laboriously up, and,going to the window, stood lookingdown into the street.The street never failed to interest him. It was one of those crossstreets peculiar to Western cities, situatedin the heart of theresidence quarter, but occupied by small tradespeople who lived in therooms above their shops. There were corner drug stores with huge jarsofred, yellow, and green liquids in their windows, very brave and gay;stationers' stores, where illustrated weeklies were tacked upon bulletinboards; barber shopswith cigar stands in their vestibules; sad-lookingplumbers' offices; cheap restaurants, in whose windows one saw piles ofunopened oysters weighted down bycubes of ice, and china pigs and cowsknee deep in layers of white beans. At one end of the street McTeaguecould see the huge power-house of the cable line.Immediately oppositehim was a great market; while farther on, over the chimney stacks of theintervening houses, the glass roof of some huge public bathsglitteredlike crystal in the afternoon sun. Underneath him the branch post-officewas opening its doors, as was its custom between two and threeo'clock on Sundayafternoons. An acrid odor of ink rose upward to him.Occasionally a cable car passed, trundling heavily, with a stridentwhirring of jostled glass windows.On weekdays the street was very lively. It woke to its work about seveno'clock, at the time when the newsboys made their appearance togetherwith the day laborers. Thelaborers went trudging past in a stragglingfile--plumbers' apprentices, their pockets stuffed with sections oflead pipe, tweezers, and pliers; carpenters, carryingnothing but theirlittle pasteboard lunch baskets painted to imitate leather; gangs ofstreet workers, their overalls soiled with yellow clay, their picksandlong-handled shovels over their shoulders; plasterers, spotted with limefrom head to foot. This little army of workers, tramping steadily inone direction, metand mingled with other toilers of a differentdescription--conductors and \"swing men\" of the cable company going onduty; heavy-eyed night clerks from the drugstores on their way home tosleep; roundsmen returning to the precinct police station to make theirnight report, and Chinese market gardeners teetering pastunder theirheavy baskets. The cable cars began to fill up; all along the streetcould be seen the shopkeepers taking down their shutters.Between seven and eightthe street breakfasted. Now and then a waiterfrom one of the cheap restaurants crossed from one sidewalk to theother, balancing on one palm a tray coveredwith a napkin. Everywherewas the smell of coffee and of frying steaks. A little later, followingin the path of the day laborers, came the clerks and shopgirls,dressed with a certain cheap smartness, always in a hurry, glancingapprehensively at the power-house clock. Their employers followedan hour or solater--on the cable cars for the most part whiskeredgentlemen with huge stomachs, reading the morning papers with greatgravity; bank cashiers and insuranceclerks with flowers in theirbuttonholes.At the same time the school children invaded the street, filling the airwith a clamor of shrill voices, stopping at thestationers' shops, oridling a moment in the doorways of the candy stores. For over half anhour they held possession of the sidewalks, then suddenlydisappeared,leaving behind one or two stragglers who hurried along with greatstrides of their little thin legs, very anxious and preoccupied.Towards eleven o'clockthe ladies from the great avenue a block abovePolk Street made their appearance, promenading the sidewalks leisurely,deliberately. They were at their morning'smarketing. They were handsomewomen, beautifully dressed. They knew by name their butchers and grocersand vegetable men. From his window McTeague sawthem in front of thestalls, gloved and veiled and daintily shod, the subservient provisionmen at their elbows, scribbling hastily in the order books. They allseemedto know one another, these grand ladies from the fashionableavenue. Meetings took place here and there; a conversation was begun;others arrived; groups wereformed; little impromptu receptions wereheld before the chopping blocks of butchers' stalls, or on the sidewalk,around boxes of berries and fruit.From noon toevening the population of the street was of a mixedcharacter. The street was busiest at that time; a vast and prolongedmurmur arose--the mingled shuffling offeet, the rattle of wheels, theheavy trundling of cable cars. At four o'clock the school childrenonce more swarmed the sidewalks, again disappearing withsurprisingsuddenness. At six the great homeward march commenced; the cars werecrowded, the laborers thronged the sidewalks, the newsboys chantedtheevening papers. Then all at once the street fell quiet; hardly a soulwas in sight; the sidewalks were deserted. It was supper hour. Eveningbegan; and one by"}

EXTREME SOUTH CENTRAL LA - FROM ABOVE - AIRBORNE -        NIGHT        Wayup ahead, amid the flames, is a fortress.  A square        city block.  Walled.  Something out of the middle ages.        The walls are entirely made from stackedabandoned cars.        INT. BLIMP POD - NIGHT        Spartan is dragging a heavy bag up towards the door.        PILOT #2 looks at himcuriously.                                PILOT #2                  How come they call you Demolition                  Man?  Are you with the bomb squad?        Spartan gets hisbag into position.                                SPARTAN                  I just...

SPARTAN                  I do my job, shit happens.                         (to Pilot#1)                  Get a thermo.        The PILOT takes a thermogram of the building in the        middle of the compound.  We see a series ofheat-outlined        figures moving inside.                                PILOT #1                  Six.  One still, in the middle.                  The rest moving around.  Idon't                  see any thirty people.                                SPARTAN                         (checking the thermo)                  What's that?        To the naked eye,out the window, tucked against the        wall of cars, a large tarp.  To the thermo, the still        warm inner workings of the muni bus.  Faint outlines of        theengine, drive train, even seats and frame.  Bingo.        Spartan takes a deep breath.  Loosens up his right        shoulder.  Loosens up his left.  Checks the gun onhis        right hip.  Checks the gun on his left.  They both cross        draw.  Reaches down to the bag at his feet.  LAPD in        reflective letters on the side of abackpack.  Spartan        yanks some kind of rope out of it.                                PILOT #2                  Isn't that for getting people out                  ofburning buildings...                                SPARTAN                  Yeah, sometimes...        Slaps a carabiner onto a big eyebolt by the door.  They're        deadcenter now over the complex below.  He opens the        door.  Jumps out.        EXT. BLIMP - NIGHT        Spartan falls three hundred feet from theblimp.  Dead        silent.  The line runs free behind him.  It's a giant        fireproof bungee cord.  As the downward force of gravity        and the upward pull of thebungee become exactly the        same, Spartan stops dead in the air for just the briefest        moment.  Whips out a Bowie knife and slashes the cord        abovehis head.  Falls free the last ten feet to the roof        of the building.  Lands on his feet.  Lightning cross        draw.  A gun appears in each hand.        EXT.FORTRESS - MAIN BUILDING - ROOFTOP - NIGHT        A lookout pops up on Spartan's right.  Spartan clobbers        him.  Another lookout pops up on Spartan'sleft.  Spartan        ducks, rolls quietly, clobbers him, too.  Listens.  No        one's taken notice.  Holsters the guns.  Moves in towards        the roofhatch.        INT. FORTRESS - MAIN BUILDING - THIRD FLOOR - NIGHT        Stacked with armaments and stolen goods.  M70's straight        outta the NationalGuard Armory.  Crates of ammo.  Stacks        of looted Sony HoloSets still in the boxes.        Spartan makes his way carefully along.  Ready.  Spins at        aSOUND.  Nothing there.  Spartan crouches low.  Slips        around the crates.  At the far end, a very large guard        is doing just the same thing to peer atwhere Spartan        just was.        Spartan launches himself at the guard.  Hammers his head        against the floor.  This guy is not getting up again for        along time.  Spartan spins at a SOUND.  Another equally        large guard dives on Spartan from behind.  He never makes        contact.  Spartan uses hismomentum to fling him past and        into the wall.  This guy isn't getting up again in the        near future either.  Now the room is clear.  Moves        towards thestairs.        INT. FORTRESS - MAIN BUILDING - SECOND FLOOR - NIGHT        SIMON PHOENIX snorts a long pale blue line up one        nostril.  A long pink lineup the other.  One blue eye,        one brown eye.  Blond hair.  Black skin.  Looks up at        another thug.  Punches up the security cams on half a        dozenslightly futuristic monitors.  Unconscious guards        can be seen on all of them.  And on the last, Spartan,        coming... Phoenix jabs a loaded orange syringeinto an        arm.  The drugs all hit various lobes.                                PHOENIX                  Motherfucker.        INT. FORTRESS - MAIN BUILDING - STAIRWELL -NIGHT        Spartan creeps quietly down.  Looking, watching,        listening.  Suddenly, the stairs are racked with MACHINE        GUN FIRE.  Chips of concrete flyfrom around his feet.        Spartan flattens against the wall.  Half a beat.  Steps        out FIRING.  The machine gun stops.  A body plummets by        down thecenter shaft of the stairs.                                SPARTAN                  That's a warm welcome.        INT. FORTRESS - MAIN BUILDING - SECOND FLOOR -NIGHT        Phoenix is dumping can after can of gas all over the        floor, the walls, everything.        ANOTHER ANGLE - STAIRWELL AND LANDING        Spartansteps onto the landing.  Checks high and low.        Room is clear.  He can smell the gas.        BACK TO PHOENIX        Simon pries open the fuse box.  Flips off allthe        breakers.  Building is plunged into darkness.        BACK TO SPARTAN        Spartan quietly speaks into the LAPD button mike onhis        lapel.                                SPARTAN                  How 'bout some light, guys?        Half a beat later, blinding white light blows through        thewindows.        EXT. FORTRESS - FROM ABOVE - NIGHT        The blimp casts down a wall of light.  32 million        candlepower pours straight down.        INT.FORTRESS - MAIN BUILDING - SECOND FLOOR - NIGHT        A wild melange of white, white light and dark, dark        shadows.  The gas fumes ripple, refract inthe air.        Lights bounce off the pools of gasoline.  Spartan rolls        into the room.  Both guns come up.                                SPARTAN                  SimonPhoenix.  You're under                  arrest.                         (then)                  Where are the muni passengers?                                PHOENIX                  Fuckyou, Spartan.  They're gone.                  I told the city no one comes down                  here anymore.  Cops figured it                  out, postmen figured itout.  Damn                  bus drivers wouldn't listen.                  Arrest me?  You've got no                  jurisdiction here.  You're in my                  kingdomnow.  Fifty blocks in                  every direction.  And it's mine.                                SPARTAN                         (simply)                  It'sover.                                PHOENIX                  It's over?!                         (knows it's true)                  Yeah.  It's over.  But I've been                  king once,and I ain't ever going                  back to jail.        Spartan keeps the guns trained on Phoenix.  Simon        scratches his arm.  It's a junkie's twitch.  Or isit...        Spartan can't see it, but there's a kitchen match tucked        behind Simon's ear.  Phoenix reaches up to scratch        another itch.  Frees the match inone gestures, strikes        it and tosses it into the pool of gas.  Smiles.  A        friendly happy smile.        The room bursts into flames.  He throws back his headand        laughs.  Spartan dives on him.  Tries to hurl them both        through the window.        But Phoenix is either stronger or just far crazier and        druggedup.  Smashes the two of them into the wall        instead.  They trade blows.  The building gets worse.        AMMO starts to EXPLODE downstairs.        EXT.FORTRESS - MAIN YARD - NIGHT        A giant LAPD wrecker with a cow catcher front blasts        through the main gates.  LAPD Humvees follow.        A youngcop (ZACHARY LAMB) gets out, looks at the main        building, shakes his head in amusement at the        destruction"}

These men wanteddogs, and the dogs they wanted were heavy dogs, with strong muscles bywhich to toil, andfurry coats to protect them from the frost.Buck lived at a big house in the sun-kissed Santa Clara Valley. JudgeMiller's place, it was called. It stood back from theroad, half hiddenamong the trees, through which glimpses could be caught of the widecool veranda that ran around its four sides. The house was approachedbygravelled driveways which wound about through wide-spreading lawns andunder the interlacing boughs of tall poplars. At the rear things were oneven a morespacious scale than at the front. There were great stables,where a dozen grooms and boys held forth, rows of vine-clad servants'cottages, an endless and orderlyarray of outhouses, long grape arbors,green pastures, orchards, and berry patches. Then there was the pumpingplant for the artesian well, and the big cementtank where JudgeMiller's boys took their morning plunge and kept cool in the hotafternoon.And over this great demesne Buck ruled. Here he was born, and herehehad lived the four years of his life. It was true, there were otherdogs, There could not but be other dogs on so vast a place, but they didnot count. They cameand went, resided in the populous kennels, or livedobscurely in the recesses of the house after the fashion of Toots, theJapanese pug, or Ysabel, the Mexicanhairless,--strange creatures thatrarely put nose out of doors or set foot to ground. On the other hand,there were the fox terriers, a score of them at least, whoyelpedfearful promises at Toots and Ysabel looking out of the windows at themand protected by a legion of housemaids armed with brooms and mops.But Buckwas neither house-dog nor kennel-dog. The whole realm was his.He plunged into the swimming tank or went hunting with the Judge's sons;he escorted Mollie andAlice, the Judge's daughters, on long twilightor early morning rambles; on wintry nights he lay at the Judge's feetbefore the roaring library fire; he carried theJudge's grandsons on hisback, or rolled them in the grass, and guarded their footsteps throughwild adventures down to the fountain in the stable yard, andevenbeyond, where the paddocks were, and the berry patches. Among theterriers he stalked imperiously, and Toots and Ysabel he utterlyignored, for he wasking,--king over all creeping, crawling, flyingthings of Judge Miller's place, humans included.His father, Elmo, a huge St. Bernard, had been the Judge'sinseparablecompanion, and Buck bid fair to follow in the way of his father. He wasnot so large,--he weighed only one hundred and forty pounds,--for hismother,Shep, had been a Scotch shepherd dog. Nevertheless, one hundredand forty pounds, to which was added the dignity that comes of goodliving and universalrespect, enabled him to carry himself in rightroyal fashion. During the four years since his puppyhood he had livedthe life of a sated aristocrat; he had a fine pridein himself, was evena trifle egotistical, as country gentlemen sometimes become because oftheir insular situation. But he had saved himself by not becoming amerepampered house-dog. Hunting and kindred outdoor delights had kept downthe fat and hardened his muscles; and to him, as to the cold-tubbingraces, thelove of water had been a tonic and a health preserver.And this was the manner of dog Buck was in the fall of 1897, when theKlondike strike dragged men from allthe world into the frozen North.But Buck did not read the newspapers, and he did not know that Manuel,one of the gardener's helpers, was an undesirableacquaintance. Manuelhad one besetting sin. He loved to play Chinese lottery. Also, in hisgambling, he had one besetting weakness--faith in a system; andthismade his damnation certain. For to play a system requires money, whilethe wages of a gardener's helper do not lap over the needs of a wife andnumerousprogeny.The Judge was at a meeting of the Raisin Growers' Association, and theboys were busy organizing an athletic club, on the memorable night ofManuel'streachery. No one saw him and Buck go off through the orchardon what Buck imagined was merely a stroll. And with the exception of asolitary man, no one sawthem arrive at the little flag station knownas College Park. This man talked with Manuel, and money chinked betweenthem.\"You might wrap up the goods beforeyou deliver 'm,\" the stranger saidgruffly, and Manuel doubled a piece of stout rope around Buck's neckunder the collar.\"Twist it, an' you'll choke 'm plentee,\" saidManuel, and the strangergrunted a ready affirmative.Buck had accepted the rope with quiet dignity. To be sure, it was anunwonted performance: but he hadlearned to trust in men he knew, and togive them credit for a wisdom that outreached his own. But when the endsof the rope were placed in the stranger's hands,he growled menacingly.He had merely intimated his displeasure, in his pride believing that tointimate was to command. But to his surprise the rope tightenedaroundhis neck, shutting off his breath. In quick rage he sprang at the man,who met him halfway, grappled him close by the throat, and with a defttwist threwhim over on his back. Then the rope tightened mercilessly,while Buck struggled in a fury, his tongue lolling out of his mouth andhis great chest panting futilely.Never in all his life had he been sovilely treated, and never in all his life had he been so angry. But hisstrength ebbed, his eyes glazed, and he knew nothing whenthe train wasflagged and the two men threw him into the baggage car.The next he knew, he was dimly aware that his tongue was hurting andthat he was beingjolted along in some kind of a conveyance. The hoarseshriek of a locomotive whistling a crossing told him where he was. Hehad travelled too often with the Judgenot to know the sensation ofriding in a baggage car. He opened his eyes, and into them came theunbridled anger of a kidnapped king. The man sprang for histhroat, butBuck was too quick for him. His jaws closed on the hand, nor did theyrelax till his senses were choked out of him once more.\"Yep, has fits,\" the mansaid, hiding his mangled hand from thebaggageman, who had been attracted by the sounds of struggle. \"I'mtakin' 'm up for the boss to 'Frisco. A crackdog-doctor there thinksthat he can cure 'm.\"Concerning that night's ride, the man spoke most eloquently for himself,in a little shed back of a saloon on the SanFrancisco water front.\"All I get is fifty for it,\" he grumbled; \"an' I wouldn't do it over fora thousand, cold cash.\"His hand was wrapped in a bloody handkerchief,and the right trouser legwas ripped from knee to ankle.\"How much did the other mug get?\" the saloon-keeper demanded.\"A hundred,\" was the reply. \"Wouldn'ttake a sou less, so help me.\"\"That makes a hundred and fifty,\" the saloon-keeper calculated; \"andhe's worth it, or I'm a squarehead.\"The kidnapper undid thebloody wrappings and looked at his laceratedhand. \"If I don't get the hydrophoby--\"\"It'll be because you was born to hang,\" laughed the saloon-keeper.\"Here,lend me a hand before you pull your freight,\" he added.Dazed, suffering intolerable pain from throat and tongue, with the lifehalf throttled out of him, Buckattempted to face his tormentors. But hewas thrown down and choked repeatedly, till they succeeded in filing theheavy brass collar from off his neck. Then therope was removed, and hewas flung into a cagelike crate.There he lay for the remainder of the weary night, nursing his wrath andwounded pride. He could notunderstand what it all meant. What did theywant with him, these strange men? Why were they keeping him pent up inthis narrow crate? He did not know why,but he felt oppressed by thevague sense of impending calamity. Several times during the night hesprang to his feet when the shed door rattled open, expecting tosee theJudge, or the boys at least. But each time it was the bulging face ofthe saloon-keeper that peered in at him by the sickly light of a tallowcandle. And eachtime the joyful bark that trembled in Buck's throat wastwisted into a savage growl.But the saloon-keeper let him alone, and in the morning four men enteredandpicked up the crate. More tormentors, Buck decided, for they wereevil-looking creatures, ragged and unkempt; and he stormed and raged atthem through thebars. They only laughed and poked sticks at him, whichhe promptly assailed with his teeth till he realized that that was whatthey wanted. Whereupon he lay downsullenly and allowed the crate to belifted into a wagon. Then he, and the crate in which he was imprisoned,began a passage through many hands. Clerks in theexpress office tookcharge of him; he was carted about in another wagon; a truck carriedhim, with an assortment of boxes and parcels, upon a ferry steamer;hewas trucked off the steamer into a great railway depot, and finally hewas deposited in an express car.For two days and nights this express car was draggedalong at the tailof shrieking locomotives; and for two days and nights Buck neither atenor drank. In his anger he had met the first advances of theexpressmessengers with growls, and they had retaliated by teasing him. When heflung himself against the bars, quivering and frothing, they laughedat him andtaunted him. They growled and barked like detestable dogs,mewed, and flapped their arms and crowed. It was all very silly, heknew; but therefore the moreoutrage to his dignity, and his anger waxedand waxed. He did not mind the hunger so much, but the lack of watercaused him severe suffering and fanned hiswrath to fever-pitch. Forthat matter, high-strung and finely sensitive, the ill treatment hadflung him into a fever, which was fed by the inflammation of hisparchedand swollen throat and tongue.He was glad for one thing: the rope was off his neck. That had giventhem an unfair advantage; but now that it was off, hewould show them.They would never get another rope around his neck. Upon that he wasresolved. For two days and nights he neither ate nor drank, and"}

THE PROMISE OFDREAMSCHAPTER ITHE ENCOUNTERGlenister gazed out over the harbor, agleam with the lights of anchoredships, then up at the crenelated mountains, blackagainst the sky. Hedrank the cool air burdened with its taints of the sea, while the bloodof his boyhood leaped within him.\"Oh, it's fine--fine,\" he murmured, \"andthis is my country--mycountry, after all, Dex. It's in my veins, this hunger for the North. Igrow. I expand.\"\"Careful you don't bust,\" warned Dextry. \"I've seenmen get plumb drunkon mountain air. Don't expand too strong in one spot.\" He went backabruptly to his pipe, its villanous fumes promptly averting any dangerofthe air's too tonic quality.\"Gad! What a smudge!\" sniffed the younger man. \"You ought to be inquarantine.\"\"I'd ruther smell like a man than talk like a kid. Youdesecrate thehour of meditation with rhapsodies on nature when your aesthetics ain'thoned up to the beauties of good tobacco.\"The other laughed, inflating hisdeep chest. In the gloom he stretchedhis muscles restlessly, as though an excess of vigor filled him.They were lounging upon the dock, while before them lay theSanta Mariaready for her midnight sailing. Behind slept Unalaska, quaint, antique,and Russian, rusting amid the fogs of Bering Sea. Where, a weekbefore,mild-eyed natives had dried their cod among the old bronze cannon, nowa frenzied horde of gold-seekers paused in their rush to the new ElDorado. Theyhad come like a locust cloud, thousands strong, settlingon the edge of the Smoky Sea, waiting the going of the ice that barredthem from their GoldenFleece--from Nome the new, where men foundfortune in a night.The mossy hills back of the village were ridged with graves of thosewho had died on the out-tripthe fall before, when a plague had grippedthe land--but what of that? Gold glittered in the sands, so said thesurvivors; therefore men came in armies. Glenisterand Dextry had leftNome the autumn previous, the young man raving with fever. Now theyreturned to their own land.\"This air whets every animal instinct in me,\"Glenister broke outagain. \"Away from the cities I turn savage. I feel the old primitivepassions--the fret for fighting.\"\"Mebbe you'll have a chance.\"\"How so?\"\"Well,it's this way. I met Mexico Mullins this mornin'. You mind oldMexico, don't you? The feller that relocated Discovery Claim on AnvilCreek last summer?\"\"You don'tmean that 'tin-horn' the boys were going to lynch forclaim-jumping?\"\"Identical! Remember me tellin' you about a good turn I done him oncedown Guadalupeway?\"\"Greaser shooting-scrape, wasn't it?\"\"Yep! Well, I noticed first off that he's gettin fat; high-livin' fat,too, all in one spot, like he was playin' both ends ag'inthe centre.Also he wore di'mon's fit to handle with ice-tongs.\"Says I, lookin' at his side elevation, 'What's accented your middlesyllable so strong,Mexico?'\"'Prosperity, politics, an' the Waldorf-Astorier,' says he. It seemsMex hadn't forgot old days. He claws me into a corner an' says, 'Bill,I'm goin' to pay youback for that Moralez deal.'\"'It ain't comin' to me,' says I. 'That's a bygone!'\"'Listen here,' says he, an', seein' he was in earnest, I let him runon.\"'How much doyou value that claim o' yourn at?'\"'Hard tellin',' says I. 'If she holds out like she run last fall,there'd ought to be a million clear in her.\"\"'How much'll you clean upthis summer?'\"''Bout four hundred thousand, with luck.'\"'Bill,' says he, 'there's hell a-poppin' an' you've got to watch thatground like you'd watch a rattle-snake.Don't never leave 'em get agrip on it or you're down an' out.'\"He was so plumb in earnest it scared me up, 'cause Mexico ain't agabby man.\"'What do you mean?'says I.\"'I can't tell you nothin' more. I'm puttin' a string on my own neck,sayin' THIS much. You're a square man, Bill, an' I'm a gambler, but yousaved my lifeoncet, an' I wouldn't steer you wrong. For God's sake,don't let 'em jump your ground, that's all.'\"'Let who jump it? Congress has give us judges an' courtsan'marshals--' I begins.\"'That's just it. How you goin' to buck that hand? Them's the bestcards in the deck. There's a man comin' by the name of McNamara.Watchhim clost. I can't tell you no more. But don't never let 'em get a gripon your ground.' That's all he'd say.\"\"Bah! He's crazy! I wish somebody would try tojump the Midas; we'denjoy the exercise.\"The siren of the Santa Maria interrupted, its hoarse warning throbbingup the mountain.\"We'll have to get aboard,\" saidDextry.\"Sh-h! What's that?\" the other whispered.At first the only sound they heard was a stir from the deck of thesteamer. Then from the water below them camethe rattle of rowlocks anda voice cautiously muffled.\"Stop! Stop there!\"A skiff burst from the darkness, grounding on the beach beneath. Afigure scrambled outand up the ladder leading to the wharf.Immediately a second boat, plainly in pursuit of the first one, struckon the beach behind it.As the escaping figure mountedto their level the watchers perceivedwith amazement that it was a young woman. Breath sobbed from her lungs,and, stumbling, she would have fallen but forGlenister, who ranforward and helped her to her feet.\"Don't let them get me,\" she panted.He turned to his partner in puzzled inquiry, but found that the oldmanhad crossed to the head of the landing ladder up which the pursuerswere climbing.\"Just a minute--you there! Back up or I'll kick your face in.\" Dextry'svoicewas sharp and unexpected, and in the darkness he loomed tall andmenacing to those below.\"Get out of the way. That woman's a runaway,\" came from the onehigheston the ladder.\"So I jedge.\"\"She broke qu--\"\"Shut up!\" broke in another. \"Do you want to advertise it? Get out ofthe way, there, ye damn fool! Climb up,Thorsen.\" He spoke like a buckomate, and his words stirred the bile of Dextry.Thorsen grasped the dock floor, trying to climb up, but the old minerstamped on hisfingers and the sailor loosened his hold with a yell,carrying the under men with him to the beach in his fall.\"This way! Follow me!\" shouted the mate, making upthe bank for theshore end of the wharf.\"You'd better pull your freight, miss,\" Dextry remarked; \"they'll behere in a minute.\"\"Yes, yes! Let us go! I must getaboard the Santa Maria. She's leavingnow. Come, come!\"Glenister laughed, as though there were a humorous touch in her remark,but did not stir.\"I'm gettin'awful old an' stiff to run,\" said Dextry, removing hismackinaw, \"but I allow I ain't too old for a little diversion in theway of a rough-house when it comes nosin'around.\" He moved lightly,though the girl could see in the half-darkness that his hair wassilvery.\"What do you mean?\" she questioned, sharply.\"You hurry along,miss; we'll toy with 'em till you're aboard.\" Theystepped across to the dockhouse, backing against it. The girl followed.Again came the warning blast from thesteamer, and the voice of anofficer:\"Clear away that stern line!\"\"Oh, we'll be left!\" she breathed, and somehow it struck Glenister thatshe feared this more thanthe men whose approaching feet he heard.\"YOU can make it all right,\" he urged her, roughly. \"You'll get hurt ifyou stay here. Run along and don't mind us. We'vebeen thirty days onshipboard, and were praying for something to happen.\" His voice wasboyishly glad, as if he exulted in the fray that was to come; and nosoonerhad he spoken than the sailors came out of the darkness uponthem.During the space of a few heart-beats there was only a tangle ofwhirling forms with the soundof fist on flesh, then the blot split upand forms plunged outward, falling heavily. Again the sailors rushed,attempting to clinch. They massed upon Dextry only tograsp empty air,for he shifted with remarkable agility, striking bitterly, as an oldwolf snaps. It was baffling work, however, for in the darkness hisblows fell shortor overreached.Glenister, on the other hand, stood carelessly, beating the men off asthey came to him. He laughed gloatingly, deep in his throat, as thoughtheencounter were merely some rough sport. The girl shuddered, for thedesperate silence of the attacking men terrified her more than a din,and yet she stayed,crouched against the wall.Dextry swung at a dim target, and, missing it, was whirled off hisbalance. Instantly his antagonist grappled with him, and they fell tothefloor, while a third man shuffled about them. The girl throttled ascream.\"I'm goin' to kick 'im, Bill,\" the man panted hoarsely. \"Le' me fix'im.\" He swung his heavyshoe, and Bill cursed with stirring eloquence.\"Ow! You're kickin' me! I've got 'im, safe enough. Tackle the big un.\"Bill's ally then started towards the others, hisbody bent, his armsflexed yet hanging loosely. He crouched beside the girl, ignoring her,while she heard the breath wheezing from his lungs; then silentlyheleaped. Glenister had hurled a man from him, then stepped back to avoidthe others, when he was seized from behind and felt the man's armswrapped abouthis neck, the sailor's legs locked about his thighs. Nowcame the girl's first knowledge of real fighting. The two spun back andforth so closely entwined as to beindistinguishable, the othersholding off. For what seemed many minutes they struggled, the young manstriving to reach his adversary, till they crashed againstthe wallnear her and she heard her champion's breath coughing in his throat atthe tightening grip of the sailor. Fright held her paralyzed, for shehad never seenmen thus. A moment and Glenister would be down beneaththeir stamping feet--they would kick his life out with their heavyshoes. At thought of it, the necessityof action smote her like a blowin the face. Her terror fell away, her shaking muscles stiffened, andbefore realizing what she did she had acted.The seaman's backwas to her. She reached out and gripped him by thehair, while her fingers, tense as talons, sought his eyes. Then thefirst loud sound of the battle arose. The manyelled in sudden terror;and the others as suddenly fell back. The next instant she felt a handupon her shoulder and heard Dextry's voice.\"Are ye hurt? No? Come"}

POULSSONILLUSTRATED BYOTHAR HOLMBOEGINN AND COMPANYBOSTON · NEW YORK · CHICAGO · LONDONATLANTA ·DALLAS · COLUMBUS · SAN FRANCISCOCOPYRIGHT, 1907, BYLAURA E. POULSSONALL RIGHTS RESERVEDPRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICATheAthenæum PressGINN AND COMPANY · PROPRIETORS ·BOSTON · U.S.A.PREFACEHans Aanrud's short stories are considered by his own countrymenasbelonging to the most original and artistically finished life picturesthat have been produced by the younger _literati_ of Norway. Theyare generally concernedwith peasant character, and present in truebalance the coarse and fine in peasant nature. The style of speech isoccasionally over-concrete for sophisticated ears,but it is notunwholesome. Of weak or cloying sweetness--so abhorrent to Norwegiantaste--there is never a trace._Sidsel Sidsærk_ was dedicated to the author'sdaughter on her eighthbirthday, and is doubtless largely reminiscent of Aanrud's ownchildhood. If I have been able to give a rendering at all worthy of theoriginal,readers of _Lisbeth Longfrock_ will find that the whole storybreathes a spirit of unaffected poetry not inconsistent with the commonlife which it depicts. This fineblending of the poetic and commonplaceis another characteristic of Aanrud's writings.While translating the book I was living in the region where the scenesof thestory are laid, and had the benefit of local knowledgeconcerning terms used, customs referred to, etc. No pains were sparedin verifying particulars, especiallythrough elderly people on thefarms, who could best explain the old-fashioned terms and who had aclear remembrance of obsolescent details of sæter life. Forthiswelcome help and for elucidations through other friends I wish here tooffer my hearty thanks.Being desirous of having the conditions of Norwegian farm lifemade asclear as possible to young English and American readers, I felt thatseveral illustrations were necessary and that it would be well forthese to be the workof a Norwegian. To understand how the sun can bealready high in the heavens when it rises, and how, when it sets, theshadow of the western mountain cancreep as quickly as it does from thebottom of the valley up the opposite slope, one must have someconception of the narrowness of Norwegian valleys, with steepmountainridges on either side. I felt also that readers would be interested inpictures showing how the dooryard of a well-to-do Norwegian farm looks,how theopen fireplace of the roomy kitchen differs from ourfireplaces, how tall and slender a Norwegian stove is, built withalternating spaces and heat boxes, severalstories high, and howCrookhorn and the billy goat appeared when about to begin their grandtussle up at Hoel Sæter._Sidsel Sidsærk_ has given much pleasureto old and young. I hope that_Lisbeth Longfrock_ may have the same good fortune.LAURA E. POULSSONHOPKINTON,MASSACHUSETTSCONTENTSCHAPTER                                                  PAGE   I.

In spite of the brightsunshine, however, Bearhunter would have liked to be indoors muchbetter thanout, if his sense of responsibility had permitted; for hispaws ached with the cold, and he had to keep holding them up one afteranother from the stone slab tokeep from getting the \"claw ache.\"Bearhunter did not wish to risk that, because \"claw ache\" is verypainful, as every northern dog knows.But to leave his post aswatchman was not to be thought of just now,for the pigs and the goats were out to-day. At this moment they werebusy with their separate affairs and behavingvery well,--the pigs overon the sunny side of the dooryard scratching themselves against thecorner of the cow house, and the goats gnawing bark from the bigheapof pine branches that had been laid near the sheep barn for theirspecial use. They looked as if they thought of nothing but theirscratching and gnawing; butBearhunter knew well, from previousexperience, that no sooner would he go into the house than both pigsand goats would come rushing over to the doorway anddo all themischief they could. That big goat, Crookhorn,--the new one who hadcome to the farm last autumn and whom Bearhunter had not yet broughtunderdiscipline,--had already strayed in a roundabout way to the verycorner of the farmhouse, and was looking at Bearhunter in aself-important manner, as if she didnot fear him in the least. She wasreally an intolerable creature, that goat Crookhorn! But just let herdare--!Bearhunter felt that he must sit on the cold doorstepfor some timelonger, at any rate. He glanced up the road occasionally as if to seewhether any one was coming, so that the pigs and goats might not thinktheyhad the whole of his attention.He had just turned his head leisurely toward the narrow road that camedown crosswise over the slope from the Upper Farms,when--what in theworld was that!Something _was_ coming,--a funny little roly-poly something. What apity, thought Bearhunter, that his sight was growing sopoor! At anyrate, he had better give the people in the house warning.So he gave several deep, echoing barks. The goats sprang together in aclump and raisedtheir ears; the pigs stopped in the very midst oftheir scratching to listen. That Bearhunter was held in great respectcould easily be seen.He still remained sittingon the doorstep, staring up the road. Neverin his life had he seen such a thing as that now approaching. Perhaps,after all, it was nothing worth giving warningabout. He would take aturn up the road and look at it a little nearer. So, arching his bushytail into a handsome curve and putting on his mostgood-humoredexpression, he sauntered off.Yes, it must be a human being, although you would not think so. Itbegan to look very much like \"Katrine the Finn,\" asthey called her,who came to the farm every winter; but it could not be Katrine--it wasaltogether too little. It wore a long, wide skirt, and from under theskirtprotruded the tips of two big shoes covered with gray woolenstocking feet from which the legs had been cut off. Above the skirtthere was a round bundle ofclothes with a knitted shawl tied aroundit, and from this protruded two stumps with red mittens on. Perched onthe top of all was a smaller shape, muffled up in asmaller knittedshawl,--that, of course, must be the head. Carried at the back was ahuge bundle tied up in a dark cloth, and in front hung a pretty woodenpail,painted red.Really, Bearhunter had to stand still and gaze. The strange figure, inthe meantime, had become aware of him, and it also came to astandstill, as if ina dilemma. At that, Bearhunter walked over to thefarther side of the road and took his station there, trying to lookindifferent, for he did not wish to cause anyfright. The strangefigure then made its way carefully forward again, drawing graduallycloser and closer to its own side of the road. As it came nearer toBearhunterthe figure turned itself around by degrees, until, whendirectly opposite to him, it walked along quite sidewise.Then it was that Bearhunter got a peep through alittle opening in theupper shawl; and there he saw the tip of a tiny, turned-up red nose,then a red mouth that was drawn down a little at the corners as ifready forcrying, and then a pair of big blue eyes that were fastenedupon him with a look of terror.[Illustration: HOEL FARM]Pooh! it was nothing, after all, but a little girl,well bundled upagainst the cold. Bearhunter did not know her--but wait a bit! hethought he had seen that pail before. At any rate it would be absurd totry tofrighten this queer little creature.His tail began to wag involuntarily as he walked across the road totake a sniff at the pail.The little girl did not understand hisaction at once. Stepping back inalarm, she caught her heels in her long frock and down she tumbled bythe side of the road. Bearhunter darted off instantly; butafterrunning a short distance toward the house he stopped and looked at heragain, making his eyes as gentle as he could and wagging his tailenergetically. WithBearhunter that wagging of the tail meant hearty,good-natured laughter.Then the little girl understood. She got up, smiled, and jogged slowlyafter him.Bearhunter trotted leisurely ahead, looking back at her fromtime to time. He knew now that she had an errand at Hoel Farm, and thathe was therefore in dutybound to help her.Thus it was that Lisbeth Longfrock of Peerout Castle made her entranceinto Hoel Farm.                     *      *      *      *      *Peerout Castle wasperched high above the Upper Farms, on a crag thatjutted out from a barren ridge just under a mountain peak called \"TheBig Hammer.\" The real name of thelittle farm was New Ridge,[1] and\"Peerout Castle\" was only a nickname given to it by a joker becausethere was so fine an outlook from it and because it bore noresemblancewhatever to a castle. The royal lands belonging to this castleconsisted of a little plot of cultivated soil, a bit of meadow landhere and there, and someheather patches where tiny blueberry bushesand small mountain-cranberry plants grew luxuriantly. The castle'soutbuildings were a shabby cow house and apigsty. The cow house wasbuilt against the steep hillside, with three walls of loosely builtstone, and its two stalls were dug half their length into the hill. Thetiny"}

\"O BROTHER,WHERE ART THOU\"
 \"O BROTHER, WHERE ART THOU\"   By    Ethan Coen and Joel Coen BLACK In black, we hear achain-gang chant, many voices together, spaced around the unison strike of picks against rock. A title burns in: O muse! Sing in me, and through me tell thestory Of that man skilled in all the ways of contending... A wanderer, harried for years on end... On the sound of an impact we cut to: A PICK splitting arock. As the chant continues, wider angles show the chain-gang at work. They are black men in bleached and faded stripes, chained together, working under abrutal midday sun. It is flat delta countryside; the straight-ruled road stretches to infinity. Mounted guards with shotguns lazily patrol the line. The chain-gangchant is regular and, it seems, timeless. We slowly fade out, returning to BLACK The last of the voices fades. After a long beat we hear the guitarintroduction to Harry McClintock's 'The Big Rock Candy Mountain.' A WHEAT FIELD A road cuts across the middle background. Noonday sun beats down.We hear the distant picks and shovels of men at work and see, rising above ground level, the occasional upraised pick and spade heaving dirt. Men are digging aditch alongside the road. After a long beat, three men pop up in the wheat field in the middle foreground. They wear faded stripes and grey duck- billed caps."}

Set out here, with Notes_.TO MY FATHER_(Whose feet tread the lostaeons)_Open the door,  And listen!Only the wind's muffled roar,  And the glistenOf tears 'round the moon.

Hush and hark, without murmur or sigh,    To shoon that tread the lostaeons:  To the sound that bids you to die.Hush and hark! Hush and Hark!\"                               _Shoon of the Dead_AUTHOR'S INTRODUCTION TO THEMANUSCRIPTMany are the hours in which I have pondered upon the story that is setforth in the following pages. I trust that my instincts are not awrywhen theyprompt me to leave the account, in simplicity, as it washanded to me.And the MS. itself--You must picture me, when first it was given into mycare, turning itover, curiously, and making a swift, jerky examination.A small book it is; but thick, and all, save the last few pages, filledwith a quaint but legible handwriting,and writ very close. I have thequeer, faint, pit-water smell of it in my nostrils now as I write, andmy fingers have subconscious memories of the soft, \"cloggy\" feelof thelong-damp pages.I read, and, in reading, lifted the Curtains of the Impossible thatblind the mind, and looked out into the unknown. Amid stiff,abruptsentences I wandered; and, presently, I had no fault to charge againsttheir abrupt tellings; for, better far than my own ambitious phrasing,is this mutilatedstory capable of bringing home all that the oldRecluse, of the vanished house, had striven to tell.Of the simple, stiffly given account of weird and extraordinarymatters,I will say little. It lies before you. The inner story must be uncovered,personally, by each reader, according to ability and desire. And evenshould any failto see, as now I see, the shadowed picture and conceptionof that to which one may well give the accepted titles of Heaven and Hell;yet can I promise certainthrills, merely taking the story as a story.WILLIAM HOPE HODGSON December 17, 1907_I_THE FINDING OF THE MANUSCRIPTRight away in the west of Irelandlies a tiny hamlet called Kraighten.It is situated, alone, at the base of a low hill. Far around therespreads a waste of bleak and totally inhospitable country; where,hereand there at great intervals, one may come upon the ruins of some longdesolate cottage--unthatched and stark. The whole land is bare andunpeopled, thevery earth scarcely covering the rock that lies beneathit, and with which the country abounds, in places rising out of the soilin wave-shaped ridges.Yet, in spite ofits desolation, my friend Tonnison and I had elected tospend our vacation there. He had stumbled on the place by mere chancethe year previously, during thecourse of a long walking tour, anddiscovered the possibilities for the angler in a small and unnamed riverthat runs past the outskirts of the little village.I have saidthat the river is without name; I may add that no map that Ihave hitherto consulted has shown either village or stream. They seemto have entirely escapedobservation: indeed, they might never exist forall that the average guide tells one. Possibly this can be partlyaccounted for by the fact that the nearest railwaystation (Ardrahan) issome forty miles distant.It was early one warm evening when my friend and I arrived in Kraighten.We had reached Ardrahan the previousnight, sleeping there in roomshired at the village post office, and leaving in good time on thefollowing morning, clinging insecurely to one of the typicaljauntingcars.It had taken us all day to accomplish our journey over some of theroughest tracks imaginable, with the result that we were thoroughlytired and somewhatbad tempered. However, the tent had to be erected andour goods stowed away before we could think of food or rest. And so weset to work, with the aid of ourdriver, and soon had the tent up upon asmall patch of ground just outside the little village, and quite near tothe river.Then, having stored all our belongings, wedismissed the driver, as hehad to make his way back as speedily as possible, and told him to comeacross to us at the end of a fortnight. We had broughtsufficientprovisions to last us for that space of time, and water we could getfrom the stream. Fuel we did not need, as we had included a smalloil-stove among ouroutfit, and the weather was fine and warm.It was Tonnison's idea to camp out instead of getting lodgings in one ofthe cottages. As he put it, there was no joke insleeping in a room witha numerous family of healthy Irish in one corner and the pigsty in theother, while overhead a ragged colony of roosting fowlsdistributedtheir blessings impartially, and the whole place so full of peat smokethat it made a fellow sneeze his head off just to put it insidethe doorway.Tonnisonhad got the stove lit now and was busy cutting slices of baconinto the frying pan; so I took the kettle and walked down to the riverfor water. On the way, I had topass close to a little group of thevillage people, who eyed me curiously, but not in any unfriendly manner,though none of them ventured a word.As I returned withmy kettle filled, I went up to them and, after afriendly nod, to which they replied in like manner, I asked themcasually about the fishing; but, instead ofanswering, they just shooktheir heads silently, and stared at me. I repeated the question,addressing more particularly a great, gaunt fellow at my elbow;yetagain I received no answer. Then the man turned to a comrade and saidsomething rapidly in a language that I did not understand; and, at once,the wholecrowd of them fell to jabbering in what, after a few moments,I guessed to be pure Irish. At the same time they cast many glances inmy direction. For a minute,perhaps, they spoke among themselves thus;then the man I had addressed faced 'round at me and said something. Bythe expression of his face I guessed thathe, in turn, was questioningme; but now I had to shake my head, and indicate that I did notcomprehend what it was they wanted to know; and so we stoodlooking atone another, until I heard Tonnison calling to me to hurry up with thekettle. Then, with a smile and a nod, I left them, and all in the littlecrowd smiledand nodded in return, though their faces still betrayedtheir puzzlement.It was evident, I reflected as I went toward the tent, that theinhabitants of these few hutsin the wilderness did not know a word ofEnglish; and when I told Tonnison, he remarked that he was aware of thefact, and, more, that it was not at all uncommonin that part of thecountry, where the people often lived and died in their isolated hamletswithout ever coming in contact with the outside world.\"I wish we had gotthe driver to interpret for us before he left,\" Iremarked, as we sat down to our meal. \"It seems so strange for thepeople of this place not even to know what we'vecome for.\"Tonnison grunted an assent, and thereafter was silent for a while.Later, having satisfied our appetites somewhat, we began to talk, layingour plans forthe morrow; then, after a smoke, we closed the flap of thetent, and prepared to turn in.\"I suppose there's no chance of those fellows outside taking anything?\"Iasked, as we rolled ourselves in our blankets.Tonnison said that he did not think so, at least while we were about;and, as he went on to explain, we could lock upeverything, except thetent, in the big chest that we had brought to hold our provisions. Iagreed to this, and soon we were both asleep.Next morning, early, werose and went for a swim in the river; afterwhich we dressed and had breakfast. Then we roused out our fishingtackle and overhauled it, by which time, ourbreakfasts having settledsomewhat, we made all secure within the tent and strode off in thedirection my friend had explored on his previous visit.During the daywe fished happily, working steadily upstream, and byevening we had one of the prettiest creels of fish that I had seen for along while. Returning to the village, wemade a good feed off our day'sspoil, after which, having selected a few of the finer fish for ourbreakfast, we presented the remainder to the group of villagers whohadassembled at a respectful distance to watch our doings. They seemedwonderfully grateful, and heaped mountains of what I presumed to beIrish blessingsupon our heads.Thus we spent several days, having splendid sport, and first-rateappetites to do justice upon our prey. We were pleased to find howfriendly thevillagers were inclined to be, and that there was noevidence of their having ventured to meddle with our belongings duringour absences.It was on a Tuesday thatwe arrived in Kraighten, and it would be on theSunday following that we made a great discovery. Hitherto we had alwaysgone up-stream; on that day, however,we laid aside our rods, and,taking some provisions, set off for a long ramble in the oppositedirection. The day was warm, and we trudged along leisurelyenough,stopping about mid-day to eat our lunch upon a great flat rock near theriverbank. Afterward we sat and smoked awhile, resuming our walk onlywhen wewere tired of inaction.For perhaps another hour we wandered onward, chatting quietly andcomfortably on this and that matter, and on several occasionsstoppingwhile my companion--who is something of an artist--made rough sketchesof striking bits of the wild scenery.And then, without any warning whatsoever,the river we had followed soconfidently, came to an abrupt end--vanishing into the earth.\"Good Lord!\" I said, \"who ever would have thought of this?\"And I staredin amazement; then I turned to Tonnison. He was looking,with a blank expression upon his face, at the place where the riverdisappeared.In a moment hespoke.\"Let us go on a bit; it may reappear again--anyhow, it is worthinvestigating.\"I agreed, and we went forward once more, though rather aimlessly; forwewere not at all certain in which direction to prosecute our search. Forperhaps a mile we moved onward; then Tonnison, who had been gazing aboutcuriously,stopped and shaded his eyes.\"See!\" he said, after a moment, \"isn't that mist or something, overthere to the right--away in a line with that great piece of rock?\"Andhe indicated with his hand.I stared, and, after a minute, seemed to see something, but could not becertain, and said so.\"Anyway,\" my friend replied, \"we'lljust go across and have a glance.\"And he started off in the direction he had suggested, I following.Presently, we came among bushes, and, after a time, out uponthe top ofa high, boulder-strewn bank, from which we looked down into a wildernessof bushes and trees.\"Seems as though we had come upon an oasis in this"}

Extensive    research did not uncover any evidence that the U.S. copyright on    thispublication was renewed.]1O Sleeper, Awake!The long tapers flickered, sending the black shadows wavering along thewalls, and the velvet tapestries rippled. Yetthere was no wind in thechamber. Four men stood about the ebony table on which lay the greensarcophagus that gleamed like carven jade. In the upraised righthand ofeach man a curious black candle burned with a weird greenish light.Outside was night and a lost wind moaning among the black trees.Inside the chamberwas tense silence, and the wavering of the shadows,while four pairs of eyes, burning with intensity, were fixed on the longgreen case across which cryptichieroglyphics writhed, as if lent lifeand movement by the unsteady light. The man at the foot of thesarcophagus leaned over it and moved his candle as if he werewritingwith a pen, inscribing a mystic symbol in the air. Then he set down thecandle in its black gold stick at the foot of the case, and, mumblingsome formulaunintelligible to his companions, he thrust a broad whitehand into his fur-trimmed robe. When he brought it forth again it was asif he cupped in his palm a ball ofliving fire.The other three drew in their breath sharply, and the dark, powerful manwho stood at the head of the sarcophagus whispered: 'The Heart ofAhriman!'The other lifted a quick hand for silence. Somewhere a dogbegan howling dolefully, and a stealthy step padded outside the barredand bolted door. But nonelooked aside from the mummy-case over whichthe man in the ermine-trimmed robe was now moving the great flamingjewel while he muttered an incantationthat was old when Atlantis sank.The glare of the gem dazzled their eyes, so that they could not be sureof what they saw; but with a splintering crash, the carvenlid of thesarcophagus burst outward as if from some irresistible pressure appliedfrom within, and the four men, bending eagerly forward, saw theoccupant--ahuddled, withered, wizened shape, with dried brown limbslike dead wood showing through moldering bandages.'Bring that thing _back_?' muttered the small darkman who stood on theright, with a short sardonic laugh. 'It is ready to crumble at a touch.We are fools--''Shhh!' It was an urgent hiss of command from the largeman who held thejewel. Perspiration stood upon his broad white forehead and his eyeswere dilated. He leaned forward, and, without touching the thing withhishand, laid on the breast of the mummy the blazing jewel. Then hedrew back and watched with fierce intensity, his lips moving insoundless invocation.It was as ifa globe of living fire flickered and burned on the dead,withered bosom. And breath sucked in, hissing, through the clenchedteeth of the watchers. For as theywatched, an awful transmutationbecame apparent. The withered shape in the sarcophagus was expanding,was growing, lengthening. The bandages burst and fellinto brown dust.The shriveled limbs swelled, straightened. Their dusky hue began tofade.'By Mitra!' whispered the tall, yellow-haired man on the left. 'Hewas_not_ a Stygian. That part at least was true.'Again a trembling finger warned for silence. The hound outside was nolonger howling. He whimpered, as with anevil dream, and then thatsound, too, died away in silence, in which the yellow-haired man plainlyheard the straining of the heavy door, as if something outsidepushedpowerfully upon it. He half turned, his hand at his sword, but the manin the ermine robe hissed an urgent warning: 'Stay! Do not break thechain! And onyour life do not go to the door!'The yellow-haired man shrugged and turned back, and then he stoppedshort, staring. In the jade sarcophagus lay a living man: atall, lustyman, naked, white of skin, and dark of hair and beard. He laymotionless, his eyes wide open, and blank and unknowing as a newbornbabe's. On hisbreast the great jewel smoldered and sparkled.The man in ermine reeled as if from some let-down of extreme tension.'Ishtar!' he gasped. 'It is Xaltotun!--_andhe lives!_ Valerius!Tarascus! Amalric! Do you see? Do you see? You doubted me--but I havenot failed! We have been close to the open gates of hell this night,andthe shapes of darkness have gathered close about us--aye, they followed_him_ to the very door--but we have brought the great magician back tolife.''Anddamned our souls to purgatories everlasting, I doubt not,' mutteredthe small, dark man, Tarascus.The yellow-haired man, Valerius, laughed harshly.'Whatpurgatory can be worse than life itself? So we are all damnedtogether from birth. Besides, who would not sell his miserable soul fora throne?''There is nointelligence in his stare, Orastes,' said the large man.'He has long been dead,' answered Orastes. 'He is as one newly awakened.His mind is empty after the longsleep--nay, he was _dead_, notsleeping. We brought his spirit back over the voids and gulfs of nightand oblivion. I will speak to him.'He bent over the foot of thesarcophagus, and fixing his gaze on thewide dark eyes of the man within, he said, slowly: 'Awake, Xaltotun!'The lips of the man moved mechanically. 'Xaltotun!'he repeated in agroping whisper.'_You_ are Xaltotun!' exclaimed Orastes, like a hypnotist driving homehis suggestions. 'You are Xaltotun of Python, in Acheron.'Adim flame flickered in the dark eyes.'I was Xaltotun,' he whispered. 'I am dead.''You _are_ Xaltotun!' cried Orastes. 'You are not dead! You live!''I am Xaltotun,'came the eery whisper. 'But I am dead. In my house inKhemi, in Stygia, there I died.''And the priests who poisoned you mummified your body with theirdarkarts, keeping all your organs intact!' exclaimed Orastes. 'But now youlive again! The Heart of Ahriman has restored your life, drawn yourspirit back fromspace and eternity.''The Heart of Ahriman!' The flame of remembrance grew stronger. 'Thebarbarians stole it from me!''He remembers,' muttered Orastes. 'Lifthim from the case.'The others obeyed hesitantly, as if reluctant to touch the man they hadrecreated, and they seemed not easier in their minds when they feltfirmmuscular flesh, vibrant with blood and life, beneath their fingers. Butthey lifted him upon the table, and Orastes clothed him in a curiousdark velvet robe,splashed with gold stars and crescent moons, andfastened a cloth-of-gold fillet about his temples, confining the blackwavy locks that fell to his shoulders. He letthem do as they would,saying nothing, not even when they set him in a carven throne-like chairwith a high ebony back and wide silver arms, and feet like goldenclaws.He sat there motionless, and slowly intelligence grew in his dark eyesand made them deep and strange and luminous. It was as if long-sunkenwitchlightsfloated slowly up through midnight pools of darkness.Orastes cast a furtive glance at his companions, who stood staring inmorbid fascination at their strangeguest. Their iron nerves hadwithstood an ordeal that might have driven weaker men mad. He knew itwas with no weaklings that he conspired, but men whosecourage was asprofound as their lawless ambitions and capacity for evil. He turned hisattention to the figure in the ebon-black chair. And this one spoke atlast.'Iremember,' he said in a strong, resonant voice, speaking Nemedianwith a curious, archaic accent. 'I am Xaltotun, who was high priest ofSet in Python, which wasin Acheron. The Heart of Ahriman--I dreamed Ihad found it again--where is it?'Orastes placed it in his hand, and he drew breath deeply as he gazedinto thedepths of the terrible jewel burning in his grasp.'They stole it from me, long ago,' he said. 'The red heart of the nightit is, strong to save or to damn. It came fromafar, and from long ago.While I held it, none could stand before me. But it was stolen from me,and Acheron fell, and I fled in exile into dark Stygia. Much Iremember,but much I have forgotten. I have been in a far land, across misty voidsand gulfs and unlit oceans. What is the year?'Orastes answered him. 'It is thewaning of the Year of the Lion, threethousand years after the fall of Acheron.''Three thousand years!' murmured the other. 'So long? Who are you?''I am Orastes,once a priest of Mitra. This man is Amalric, baron ofTor, in Nemedia; this other is Tarascus, younger brother of the king ofNemedia; and this tall man is Valerius,rightful heir of the throne ofAquilonia.''Why have you given me life?' demanded Xaltotun. 'What do you require ofme?'The man was now fully alive and awake, hiskeen eyes reflecting theworking of an unclouded brain. There was no hesitation or uncertainty inhis manner. He came directly to the point, as one who knows thatno mangives something for nothing. Orastes met him with equal candor.'We have opened the doors of hell this night to free your soul andreturn it to your bodybecause we need your aid. We wish to placeTarascus on the throne of Nemedia, and to win for Valerius the crown ofAquilonia. With your necromancy you can aidus.'Xaltotun's mind was devious and full of unexpected slants.'You must be deep in the arts yourself, Orastes, to have been able torestore my life. How is it that apriest of Mitra knows of the Heart ofAhriman, and the incantations of Skelos?''I am no longer a priest of Mitra,' answered Orastes. 'I was cast forthfrom my orderbecause of my delving in black magic. But for Amalricthere I might have been burned as a magician.'But that left me free to pursue my studies. I journeyed inZamora, inVendhya, in Stygia, and among the haunted jungles of Khitai. I read theiron-bound books of Skelos, and talked with unseen creatures in deepwells,and faceless shapes in black reeking jungles. I obtained aglimpse of your sarcophagus in the demon-haunted crypts below the blackgiant-walled temple of Set inthe hinterlands of Stygia, and I learnedof the arts that would bring back life to your shriveled corpse. Frommoldering manuscripts I learned of the Heart ofAhriman. Then for a yearI sought its hiding-place, and at last I found it.''Then why trouble to bring me back to life?' demanded Xaltotun, with hispiercing gazefixed on the priest. 'Why did you not employ the Heart tofurther your own power?''Because no man today knows the secrets of the Heart,' answered Orastes.'Noteven in legends live the arts by which to loose its full powers. Iknew it could restore life; of its deeper secrets I am ignorant. Imerely used it to bring you back tolife. It is the use of yourknowledge we seek. As for the Heart, you alone know its awful secrets.'Xaltotun shook his head, staring broodingly into the flamingdepths.'My necromantic knowledge is greater than the sum of all the knowledgeof other men,' he said; 'yet I do not know the full power of the jewel.I did not"}

HTML version by Al Haines.The Adventure of the Dying DetectiveBySir Arthur Conan DoyleMrs. Hudson, the landlady of Sherlock Holmes, wasa long-sufferingwoman.  Not only was her first-floor flat invaded at all hours bythrongs of singular and often undesirable characters but her remarkablelodgershowed an eccentricity and irregularity in his life which musthave sorely tried her patience. His incredible untidiness, hisaddiction to music at strange hours, hisoccasional revolver practicewithin doors, his weird and often malodorous scientific experiments,and the atmosphere of violence and danger which hung aroundhim madehim the very worst tenant in London.  On the other hand, his paymentswere princely. I have no doubt that the house might have been purchasedat theprice which Holmes paid for his rooms during the years that Iwas with him.The landlady stood in the deepest awe of him and never dared tointerfere with him,however outrageous his proceedings might seem.  Shewas fond of him, too, for he had a remarkable gentleness and courtesyin his dealings with women.  Hedisliked and distrusted the sex, but hewas always a chivalrous opponent. Knowing how genuine was her regardfor him, I listened earnestly to her story when shecame to my rooms inthe second year of my married life and told me of the sad condition towhich my poor friend was reduced.\"He's dying, Dr. Watson,\" saidshe.  \"For three days he has beensinking, and I doubt if he will last the day.  He would not let me geta doctor.  This morning when I saw his bones sticking out ofhis faceand his great bright eyes looking at me I could stand no more of it.'With your leave or without it, Mr. Holmes, I am going for a doctorthis very hour,' saidI.  'Let it be Watson, then,' said he.  Iwouldn't waste an hour in coming to him, sir, or you may not see himalive.\"I was horrified for I had heard nothing of hisillness.  I need not saythat I rushed for my coat and my hat.  As we drove back I asked for thedetails.\"There is little I can tell you, sir.  He has been working at acasedown at Rotherhithe, in an alley near the river, and he has broughtthis illness back with him.  He took to his bed on Wednesday afternoonand has nevermoved since.  For these three days neither food nor drinkhas passed his lips.\"\"Good God!  Why did you not call in a doctor?\"\"He wouldn't have it, sir.  You knowhow masterful he is.  I didn'tdare to disobey him.  But he's not long for this world, as you'll seefor yourself the moment that you set eyes on him.\"He was indeeda deplorable spectacle.  In the dim light of a foggyNovember day the sick room was a gloomy spot, but it was that gaunt,wasted face staring at me from the bedwhich sent a chill to my heart.His eyes had the brightness of fever, there was a hectic flush uponeither cheek, and dark crusts clung to his lips; the thin handsuponthe coverlet twitched incessantly, his voice was croaking andspasmodic.  He lay listlessly as I entered the room, but the sight ofme brought a gleam ofrecognition to his eyes.\"Well, Watson, we seem to have fallen upon evil days,\" said he in afeeble voice, but with something of his old carelessness of manner.\"Mydear fellow!\" I cried, approaching him.\"Stand back!  Stand right back!\" said he with the sharp imperiousnesswhich I had associated only with moments of crisis.\"If you approachme, Watson, I shall order you out of the house.\"\"But why?\"\"Because it is my desire.  Is that not enough?\"Yes, Mrs. Hudson was right.  He wasmore masterful than ever.  It waspitiful, however, to see his exhaustion.\"I only wished to help,\" I explained.\"Exactly!  You will help best by doing what you aretold.\"\"Certainly, Holmes.\"He relaxed the austerity of his manner.\"You are not angry?\" he asked, gasping for breath.Poor devil, how could I be angry when I sawhim lying in such a plightbefore me?\"It's for your own sake, Watson,\" he croaked.\"For MY sake?\"\"I know what is the matter with me.  It is a coolie diseasefromSumatra--a thing that the Dutch know more about than we, though theyhave made little of it up to date.  One thing only is certain.  It isinfallibly deadly, andit is horribly contagious.\"He spoke now with a feverish energy, the long hands twitching andjerking as he motioned me away.\"Contagious by touch,Watson--that's it, by touch.  Keep your distanceand all is well.\"\"Good heavens, Holmes!  Do you suppose that such a consideration weighswith me of aninstant?  It would not affect me in the case of astranger.  Do you imagine it would prevent me from doing my duty to soold a friend?\"Again I advanced, but herepulsed me with a look of furious anger.\"If you will stand there I will talk.  If you do not you must leave theroom.\"I have so deep a respect for the extraordinaryqualities of Holmes thatI have always deferred to his wishes, even when I least understoodthem.  But now all my professional instincts were aroused.  Let himbemy master elsewhere, I at least was his in a sick room.\"Holmes,\" said I, \"you are not yourself.  A sick man is but a child,and so I will treat you.  Whether youlike it or not, I will examineyour symptoms and treat you for them.\"He looked at me with venomous eyes.\"If I am to have a doctor whether I will or not, let me atleast havesomeone in whom I have confidence,\" said he.\"Then you have none in me?\"\"In your friendship, certainly.  But facts are facts, Watson, and,after all, youare only a general practitioner with very limitedexperience and mediocre qualifications.  It is painful to have to saythese things, but you leave me no choice.\"I wasbitterly hurt.\"Such a remark is unworthy of you, Holmes.  It shows me very clearlythe state of your own nerves.  But if you have no confidence in me Iwould notintrude my services.  Let me bring Sir Jasper Meek or PenroseFisher, or any of the best men in London.  But someone you MUST have,and that is final.  If youthink that I am going to stand here and seeyou die without either helping you myself or bringing anyone else tohelp you, then you have mistaken your man.\"\"Youmean well, Watson,\" said the sick man with something between a soband a groan.  \"Shall I demonstrate your own ignorance? What do youknow, pray, ofTapanuli fever?  What do you know of the black Formosacorruption?\"\"I have never heard of either.\"\"There are many problems of disease, many strangepathologicalpossibilities, in the East, Watson.\"  He paused after each sentence tocollect his failing strength.  \"I have learned so much during somerecentresearches which have a medico-criminal aspect.  It was in thecourse of them that I contracted this complaint.  You can do nothing.\"\"Possibly not.  But I happento know that Dr. Ainstree, the greatestliving authority upon tropical disease, is now in London.  Allremonstrance is useless, Holmes, I am going this instant tofetch him.\"I turned resolutely to the door.Never have I had such a shock!  In an instant, with a tiger-spring, thedying man had intercepted me.  I heard the sharpsnap of a twisted key.The next moment he had staggered back to his bed, exhausted and pantingafter his one tremendous outflame of energy.\"You won't takethe key from me by force, Watson, I've got you, myfriend.  Here you are, and here you will stay until I will otherwise.But I'll humour you.\"  (All this in little gasps,with terriblestruggles for breath between.)  \"You've only my own good at heart.  Ofcourse I know that very well.  You shall have your way, but give metime to getmy strength.  Not now, Watson, not now.  It's four o'clock.At six you can go.\"\"This is insanity, Holmes.\"\"Only two hours, Watson.  I promise you will go atsix.  Are youcontent to wait?\"\"I seem to have no choice.\"\"None in the world, Watson.  Thank you, I need no help in arranging theclothes.  You will please keepyour distance.  Now, Watson, there isone other condition that I would make.  You will seek help, not fromthe man you mention, but from the one that Ichoose.\"\"By all means.\"\"The first three sensible words that you have uttered since you enteredthis room, Watson.  You will find some books over there. I amsomewhatexhausted; I wonder how a battery feels when it pours electricity intoa non-conductor?  At six, Watson, we resume our conversation.\"But it wasdestined to be resumed long before that hour, and incircumstances which gave me a shock hardly second to that caused by hisspring to the door.  I had stood forsome minutes looking at the silentfigure in the bed.  His face was almost covered by the clothes and heappeared to be asleep.  Then, unable to settle down toreading, Iwalked slowly round the room, examining the pictures of celebratedcriminals with which every wall was adorned.  Finally, in my aimlessperambulation, Icame to the mantelpiece.  A litter of pipes,tobacco-pouches, syringes, penknives, revolver-cartridges, and otherdebris was scattered over it.  In the midst ofthese was a small blackand white ivory box with a sliding lid.  It was a neat little thing,and I had stretched out my hand to examine it more closely, when----Itwas a dreadful cry that he gave--a yell which might have been hearddown the street.  My skin went cold and my hair bristled at thathorrible scream.  As I turnedI caught a glimpse of a convulsed faceand frantic eyes.  I stood paralyzed, with the little box in my hand.\"Put it down!  Down, this instant, Watson--this instant, Isay!\" Hishead sank back upon the pillow and he gave a deep sigh of relief as Ireplaced the box upon the mantelpiece.  \"I hate to have my thingstouched,Watson.  You know that I hate it.  You fidget me beyondendurance. You, a doctor--you are enough to drive a patient into anasylum.  Sit down, man, and let mehave my rest!\"The incident left a most unpleasant impression upon my mind.  Theviolent and causeless excitement, followed by this brutality of speech,so farremoved from his usual suavity, showed me how deep was thedisorganization of his mind.  Of all ruins, that of a noble mind is themost deplorable.  I sat in silentdejection until the stipulated timehad passed.  He seemed to have been watching the clock as well as I,for it was hardly six before he began to talk with the samefeverishanimation as before.\"Now, Watson,\" said he.  \"Have you any change in your pocket?\"\"Yes.\"\"Any silver?\"\"A good deal.\"\"How many half-crowns?\"\"I havefive.\"\"Ah, too few!  Too few!  How very unfortunate, Watson!  However, suchas they are you can put them in your watchpocket.  And all the rest ofyour money inyour left trouser pocket.  Thank you. It will balance youso much better like that.\"This was raving insanity.  He shuddered, and again made a sound betweenacough and a sob.\"You will now light the gas, Watson, but you will be very careful thatnot for one instant shall it be more than half on.  I implore you to becareful,Watson.  Thank you, that is excellent. No, you need not drawthe blind.  Now you will have the kindness to place some letters andpapers upon this table within my"}

She was good, in the first place--right good at heart, thoughwith a slight external roughness (like the sound of theg in her name),which took away all sentimentalism. Then the vowels--the three broadrich a's--which no one can pronounce with nimini-pimini closedlips--howthoroughly they answered to her character!--a character in the which wasnothing small, mean, cramped, or crooked.But if we go on unfolding her in thisway, there will not be theslightest use in writing her history, or that of one in whom her life isbeautifully involved and enclosed--as every married woman's shouldbe--He was still in clouded mystery--an individual yet to be; and two otherindividuals had been \"talking him over,\" feminine-fashion, in MissAgatha Bowen'sdrawing-room, much to that lady's amusement andedification. For, being moderately rich, she had her own suite of roomsin the house where she boarded; andhaving no mother--sorrowful lot fora girl of nineteen!--she sometimes filled her drawing-room with veryuseless and unprofitable acquaintances. These twomarried ladies--oneyoung, the other old--Mrs. Hill and Mrs. Thornycroft--had been for thelast half-hour vexing their very hearts out to find Agatha ahusband--aweakness which, it must be confessed, lurks in the heart of almost everymarried lady.Agatha had been laughing at it, alternately flushing up orlookingscornful, as her mouth had a natural propensity for looking; balancingherself occasionally on the arm of the sofa, which, being rather smalland of a lightfigure, she could do with both impunity and grace; orelse rushing to the open window, ostensibly to let her black kitteninvestigate street-sights from its mistress'sshoulder. Agatha was verymuch of a child still, or could be when she chose.Mrs. Hill had been regretting some two or three \"excellent matches\" ofwhich she feltsure Miss Bowen had thrown away her chance; and youngMrs. Thornycroft had tried hard to persuade her dearest Agatha how verymuch happier she would be ina house of her own, than as a boarder evenin this excellent physician's family. But Agatha only laughed on, anddevoted herself more than ever to the blackkitten.She was, I fear, a damsel who rather neglected the _bienséances_ oflife. Only, in her excuse, it must be allowed that her friends weredoing what theyhad no earthly business to do; since; if there is onesubject above all upon which a young woman has a right to keep herthoughts, feelings, and intentions toherself, and to exact from othersthe respect of silence, it is that of marriage. Possibly, Agatha Bowenwas of this opinion.\"Mrs. Hill, you are a very kind, good soul:and Emma Thornycroft, I likeyou very much; but if--(Oh! be quiet, Tittens!)--if you could manage tolet me and 'my Husband' alone.\"These were the only seriouswords she said--and they were but halfserious; she evidently felt such an irresistible propensity to laugh.\"Now,\" continued she, turning the conversation, andputting on adignified aspect, which occasionally she took it into her head toassume, though more in playfulness than earnest--\"now let me tell youwho you willmeet here at dinner to-day.\"\"Major Harper, of course.\"\"I do not see the 'of course' Mrs. Thornycroft,\" returned Agatha,rather sharply; then, melting into a smile,she added: \"Well, 'ofcourse,' as you say; what more likely visitor could I have than myguardian?\"\"Trustee, my dear; guardians belong to romances, where youngladies arealways expected to hate, or fall in love with them.\"Agatha flushed slightly. Now, unlike most girls, Miss Bowen did not lookpretty when she blushed; herskin being very dark, and not over clear,the red blood coursing under it dyed her cheek, not \"celestial, rosyred,\" but a warm mahogany colour. Perhaps aconsciousness of thisdeepened the unpleasant blushing fit, to which, like most sensitivepeople at her age, she was always rather prone.\"Not,\" continued Mrs.Thornycroft, watching her,--\"not that I think anylove affair is likely to happen in your case; Major Harper is far toomuch of a settled-down bachelor, and at thesame time too old.\"Agatha pulled a comical face, and made a few solemn allusions toMethuselah. She had a peculiarly quick, even abrupt manner ofspeaking,saying a dozen words in the time most young ladies would take to drawlout three; and possessing, likewise, the rare feminine quality of neversaying aword more than was necessary.\"Agatha, how funny you are!\" laughed her easily-amused friend. \"But,dear, tell me who else is coming?\" And she glanceddoubtfully down on agown that looked like a marriage-silk \"dyed and renovated.\"\"Oh, no ladies--and gentlemen never see whether one is dressed inbrocade orsackcloth,\" returned Agatha, rather maliciously;--\"only,'old Major Harper' as you are pleased to call him, and\"----\"Nay, I didn't call him very old--just forty, orthereabouts--though hedoes not look anything like it. Then he is so handsome, and, I must say,Agatha, pays you such extreme attention.\"Agatha laughedagain--the quick, light-hearted laugh of nineteen--andher brown eyes brightened with innocent pleasure.Young Mrs. Thornycroft again looked down uneasily ather dress--not fromovermuch vanity, but because her hounded mind recurred instinctivelyfrom extraneous or large interests to individual and lesser ones.\"Isthere really any one particular coming, my dear? Of course, _you_have no trouble about evening dress; mourning is such easy comfortablewear.\" (Agatha turnedher head quickly aside.) \"That handsome silkof yours looks quite well still; and mamma there,\" glancing at thecontentedly knitting Mrs. Hill--\"old ladies neverrequire much dress;but if you had only told me to prepare for company\"----\"Pretty company! Merely our own circle--Dr. Ianson, Mrs. Ianson, andMissIanson--you need not mind outshining her now\"----\"No, indeed! I am married.\"\"Then the 'company' dwindles down to two besides yourselves; MajorHarper andhis brother.\"\"Oh! What sort of a person is the brother?\"\"I really don't know; I have never seen him. He is just come home fromCanada; the youngest of thefamily--and I hate boys,\" replied Agatha,running the sentences one upon the other in her quick fashion.\"The youngest of the family--how many are there in all?\"inquired theelder lady, her friendly anxiety being probably once more on matrimonialthoughts intent.\"I am sure, Mrs. Hill, I cannot tell. I have never seen any ofthem butMajor Harper, and I never saw him till my poor father died; all whichcircumstances you know quite well, and Emma too; so there is no need totalk athing twice over.\"From her occasional mode of speech, some people might say, and did say,that Agatha Bowen \"had a temper of her own.\" It is very true, shewasnot one of those mild, amiable heroines who never can give a sharp wordto any one. And now and then, probably from the morbid restlessnessof unsatisfiedyouth--a youth, too, that fate had deprived of thosehome-ties, duties, and sacrifices, which are at once so arduous and sowholesome--she had a habit ofcarrying, not only the real black kitten,but the imaginary and allegorical \"little black dog,\" on her shoulder.It was grinning there invisibly now; shaking her curlswith shortquick motion, swelling her rich full lips--those sort of lips which areglorious in smiles, but which in repose are apt to settle into a gravitynot unlikecrossness.She was looking thus--not her best, it must be allowed--when a servant,opening the drawing-room door, announced \"Visitors for Miss Bowen.\"The firstwho entered, very much in advance of the other, appeared withthat easy, agreeable air which at once marks the gentleman, and one longaccustomed to theworld in all its phases, especially to the femininephase; for he bowed over Agatha's hand, and smiled in Agatha's nowbrightening face, with a sort of tendermanliness, that implied hisbeing used to pleasing women, and having an agreeable though not anungenerous consciousness of the fact.\"Are you better--reallybetter? Are you quite sure you have no coldleft? Nothing to make your friends anxious about you?\" (Agatha shook herhead smilingly.) \"That's right; I am soglad.\"And no doubt Major Harper was; for a true kind-heartedness, softenedeven to tender-heartedness, was visible in his handsome face. Which facehad beenfor twenty years the admiration of nearly every woman in everydrawing-room he entered: a considerable trial for any man. Now and thensome independentyoung lady, who had reasons of her own for preferringrosy complexions, turn-up noses, and \"runaway\" chins, might quarrelwith the Major's fine Roman profileand jet-black moustache and hair;but--there was no denying it--he was, even at forty, a remarkablyhandsome man; one of the old school of Chesterfieldperfection, which isfast dying out.Everybody liked him, more or less; and some people--a few men and not afew women, had either in friendship or in warmerfashion--deeplyloved him. Society in general was quite aware of this; nor, it must beconfessed, did Major Harper at all attempt to disprove or ignore thefact. Hewore his honours--as he did a cross won, no one quite knewhow, during a brief service in the Peninsula--neither pompously norboastingly, but with the mildindifference of conscious desert.All this could be at once discerned in his face, voice, and manner;from which likewise a keen observer might draw the safeconclusion that,though a decided man of fashion, and something of a dandy, he was aboveeither puppyism or immorality. And Agatha's rich Anglo-Indian fatherhadnot judged foolishly when he put his only child and her property in thetrust of, as he believed, that rare personage, an honest man.If the girl Agatha, who tookhonesty as a matter of course in everygentleman, endowed this particular one with a few qualities more than hereally possessed, it was an amiable weakness onher part, for which,as Major Harper would doubtless have said with a seriously troubledcountenance, \"no one could possibly blame _him._\"In speaking of theMajor we have taken little notice--as little, indeed,as Agatha did--of the younger Mr. Harper.\"My brother, Miss Bowen. He came home when my sister Emily died.\"Thebrief introduction terminated in a slight fall of voice, which made theyoung lady look sympathisingly at the handsome face that took shades ofsadness as"}

A young                looking PRIESTin his mid-thirties is finishing the delivery                of the Lord\u0000s Prayer. In the back of the church, in the last                pew, there are two who kneel on thecold, stone floor.               They do not stand to sing, nor do they offer signs of peace                when told, but they pray. They grip and rub theirrosaries.                They mutter their words in Latin.               CONNOR and MURPHY MacMANUS (mid-twenties) are shrouded in                thick waist lengthnavy P-coats, worn leather boots and the                hungry clothes of the poor. The boys heads are shaved and                they have facialhair.                                     MONSIGNOR                              (dismissing young                               priest)                         Thank you FatherMacklepenny, for                          coming all the way across town to be                          our guest speaker today.

Please don'tcome till thirtieth. Anna.\"All the way from Charing Cross to Dover the train had hammered the wordsof the telegram into George Darrow's ears, ringing everychange of ironyon its commonplace syllables: rattling them out like a discharge ofmusketry, letting them, one by one, drip slowly and coldly into hisbrain, orshaking, tossing, transposing them like the dice in some gameof the gods of malice; and now, as he emerged from his compartment atthe pier, and stood facingthe wind-swept platform and the angry seabeyond, they leapt out at him as if from the crest of the waves, stungand blinded him with a fresh fury ofderision.\"Unexpected obstacle. Please don't come till thirtieth. Anna.\"She had put him off at the very last moment, and for the second time:put him off with allher sweet reasonableness, and for one of her usual\"good\" reasons--he was certain that this reason, like the other, (thevisit of her husband's uncle's widow) wouldbe \"good\"! But it was thatvery certainty which chilled him. The fact of her dealing so reasonablywith their case shed an ironic light on the idea that there had beenanyexceptional warmth in the greeting she had given him after their twelveyears apart.They had found each other again, in London, some threemonthspreviously, at a dinner at the American Embassy, and when she had caughtsight of him her smile had been like a red rose pinned on herwidow'smourning. He still felt the throb of surprise with which, amongthe stereotyped faces of the season's diners, he had come upon herunexpected face, withthe dark hair banded above grave eyes; eyes inwhich he had recognized every little curve and shadow as he would haverecognized, after half a life-time, thedetails of a room he had playedin as a child. And as, in the plumed starred crowd, she had stood outfor him, slender, secluded and different, so he had felt, theinstanttheir glances met, that he as sharply detached himself for her. All thatand more her smile had said; had said not merely \"I remember,\" but \"Irememberjust what you remember\"; almost, indeed, as though her memoryhad aided his, her glance flung back on their recaptured moment itsmorning brightness.Certainly, when their distracted Ambassadress--withthe cry: \"Oh, you know Mrs. Leath? That's perfect, for General Farnhamhas failed me\"--had waved themtogether for the march to the dining-room,Darrow had felt a slight pressure of the arm on his, a pressure faintlybut unmistakably emphasizing the exclamation:\"Isn't it wonderful?--InLondon--in the season--in a mob?\"Little enough, on the part of most women; but it was a sign of Mrs.Leath's quality that every movement,every syllable, told with her. Evenin the old days, as an intent grave-eyed girl, she had seldom misplacedher light strokes; and Darrow, on meeting her again, hadimmediatelyfelt how much finer and surer an instrument of expression she hadbecome.Their evening together had been a long confirmation of this feeling.Shehad talked to him, shyly yet frankly, of what had happened to her duringthe years when they had so strangely failed to meet. She had told himof her marriageto Fraser Leath, and of her subsequent life in France,where her husband's mother, left a widow in his youth, had beenre-married to the Marquis de Chantelle, andwhere, partly in consequenceof this second union, the son had permanently settled himself. She hadspoken also, with an intense eagerness of affection, of herlittle girlEffie, who was now nine years old, and, in a strain hardly less tender,of Owen Leath, the charming clever young stepson whom her husband'sdeath hadleft to her care...A porter, stumbling against Darrow's bags, roused him to the fact thathe still obstructed the platform, inert and encumbering as hisluggage.\"Crossing, sir?\"Was he crossing? He really didn't know; but for lack of any morecompelling impulse he followed the porter to the luggage van, singledouthis property, and turned to march behind it down the gang-way. Asthe fierce wind shouldered him, building up a crystal wall against hisefforts, he felt anew thederision of his case.\"Nasty weather to cross, sir,\" the porter threw back at him as they beattheir way down the narrow walk to the pier. Nasty weather, indeed;butluckily, as it had turned out, there was no earthly reason why Darrowshould cross.While he pushed on in the wake of his luggage his thoughts slipped backintothe old groove. He had once or twice run across the man whom AnnaSummers had preferred to him, and since he had met her again he had beenexercising hisimagination on the picture of what her married life musthave been. Her husband had struck him as a characteristic specimen ofthe kind of American as to whomone is not quite clear whether helives in Europe in order to cultivate an art, or cultivates an art as apretext for living in Europe. Mr. Leath's art was water-colourpainting,but he practised it furtively, almost clandestinely, with the disdain ofa man of the world for anything bordering on the professional, whilehe devotedhimself more openly, and with religious seriousness, to thecollection of enamelled snuff-boxes. He was blond and well-dressed, withthe physical distinction thatcomes from having a straight figure, athin nose, and the habit of looking slightly disgusted--as who shouldnot, in a world where authentic snuff-boxes weregrowing daily harder tofind, and the market was flooded with flagrant forgeries?Darrow had often wondered what possibilities of communion there couldhavebeen between Mr. Leath and his wife. Now he concluded that therehad probably been none. Mrs. Leath's words gave no hint of her husband'shaving failed tojustify her choice; but her very reticence betrayedher. She spoke of him with a kind of impersonal seriousness, as if hehad been a character in a novel or a figurein history; and what shesaid sounded as though it had been learned by heart and slightly dulledby repetition. This fact immensely increased Darrow's impressionthathis meeting with her had annihilated the intervening years. She, who wasalways so elusive and inaccessible, had grown suddenly communicative andkind:had opened the doors of her past, and tacitly left him to draw hisown conclusions. As a result, he had taken leave of her with thesense that he was a being singledout and privileged, to whom she hadentrusted something precious to keep. It was her happiness in theirmeeting that she had given him, had frankly left him todo with as hewilled; and the frankness of the gesture doubled the beauty of the gift.Their next meeting had prolonged and deepened the impression. Theyhadfound each other again, a few days later, in an old country house fullof books and pictures, in the soft landscape of southern England.The presence of a largeparty, with all its aimless and agitateddisplacements, had served only to isolate the pair and give them (atleast to the young man's fancy) a deeper feeling ofcommunion, and theirdays there had been like some musical prelude, where the instruments,breathing low, seem to hold back the waves of sound that pressagainstthem.Mrs. Leath, on this occasion, was no less kind than before; but shecontrived to make him understand that what was so inevitably coming wasnot tocome too soon. It was not that she showed any hesitation as tothe issue, but rather that she seemed to wish not to miss any stage inthe gradual reflowering oftheir intimacy.Darrow, for his part, was content to wait if she wished it. Heremembered that once, in America, when she was a girl, and he hadgone to stay withher family in the country, she had been out when hearrived, and her mother had told him to look for her in the garden. Shewas not in the garden, but beyond ithe had seen her approaching down along shady path. Without hastening her step she had smiled and signed tohim to wait; and charmed by the lights andshadows that played upon heras she moved, and by the pleasure of watching her slow advance towardhim, he had obeyed her and stood still. And so she seemednow to bewalking to him down the years, the light and shade of old memories andnew hopes playing variously on her, and each step giving him the visionof adifferent grace. She did not waver or turn aside; he knew she wouldcome straight to where he stood; but something in her eyes said \"Wait\",and again he obeyedand waited.On the fourth day an unexpected event threw out his calculations.Summoned to town by the arrival in England of her husband's mother, sheleftwithout giving Darrow the chance he had counted on, and he cursedhimself for a dilatory blunderer. Still, his disappointment was temperedby the certainty ofbeing with her again before she left for France;and they did in fact see each other in London. There, however, theatmosphere had changed with the conditions.He could not say that sheavoided him, or even that she was a shade less glad to see him; butshe was beset by family duties and, as he thought, a little tooreadilyresigned to them.The Marquise de Chantelle, as Darrow soon perceived, had the samemild formidableness as the late Mr. Leath: a sort ofinsistentself-effacement before which every one about her gave way. It wasperhaps the shadow of this lady's presence--pervasive even during heractual briefeclipses--that subdued and silenced Mrs. Leath. The latterwas, moreover, preoccupied about her stepson, who, soon after receivinghis degree at Harvard, hadbeen rescued from a stormy love-affair, andfinally, after some months of troubled drifting, had yielded to hisstep-mother's counsel and gone up to Oxford for ayear of supplementarystudy. Thither Mrs. Leath went once or twice to visit him, and herremaining days were packed with family obligations: getting, asshephrased it, \"frocks and governesses\" for her little girl, who hadbeen left in France, and having to devote the remaining hours to longshopping expeditions withher mother-in-law. Nevertheless, during herbrief escapes from duty, Darrow had had time to feel her safe in thecustody of his devotion, set apart for someinevitable hour; and thelast evening, at the theatre, between the overshadowing Marquise and theunsuspicious Owen, they had had an almost decisive exchangeof words.Now, in the rattle of the wind about his ears, Darrow continued tohear the mocking echo of her message: \"Unexpected obstacle.\" In such anexistence asMrs. Leath's, at once so ordered and so exposed, he knewhow small a complication might assume the magnitude of an \"obstacle;\"yet, even allowing as impartiallyas his state of mind permitted forthe fact that, with her mother-in-law always, and her stepsonintermittently, under her roof, her lot involved a hundredsmallaccommodations generally foreign to the freedom of widowhood--even so,he could not but think that the very ingenuity bred of such conditionsmight have"}

Kay ShearinLOTHAIRBy Benjamin DisraeliCHAPTER 1\"I remember him a little boy,\" said theduchess, \"a pretty little boy,but very shy. His mother brought him to us one day. She was a dearfriend of mine; you know she was one of my bridesmaids?\"\"Andyou have never seen him since, mamma?\" inquired a married daughter,who looked like the younger sister of her mother.\"Never; he was an orphan shortly after;I have often reproached myself,but it is so difficult to see boys. Then, he never went to school, butwas brought up in the Highlands with a rather savage uncle;and if heand Bertram had not become friends at Christchurch, I do not well seehow we ever could have known him.\"These remarks were made in themorning-room of Brentham, where themistress of the mansion sat surrounded by her daughters, all occupiedwith various works. One knitted a purse, anotheradorned a slipper athird emblazoned a page. Beautiful forms in counsel leaned over framesembroidery, while two fair sisters more remote occasionally burstintomelody as they tried the passages of a new air, which had been dedicatedto them in the manuscript of some devoted friend.The duchess, one of the greatestheiresses of Britain, singularlybeautify and gifted with native grace, had married in her teens one ofthe wealthiest and most powerful of our nobles, and scarcelyorder thanherself. Her husband was as distinguished for his appearance and hismanners as his bride, and those who speculate on race were interestedin watchingthe development of their progeny, who in form and color, andvoice, and manner, and mind, were a reproduction of their parents,who seemed only the elderbrother and sister of a gifted circle. Thedaughters with one exception came first, and all met the same fate.After seventeen years of a delicious home they werepresented, andimmediately married; and all to personages of high consideration. Afterthe first conquest, this fate seemed as regular as the order of Nature.Thencame a son, who was now at Christchurch, and then several others,some at school, and some scarcely out of the nursery. There was onedaughter unmarried, andshe was to be presented next season. Thoughthe family likeness was still apparent in Lady Corisande, in generalexpression she differed from her sisters. Theywere all alike with theirdelicate aquiline noses, bright complexions, short upper lips, and eyesof sunny light. The beauty of Lady Corisande was even moredistinguishedand more regular, but whether it were the effect of her dark-brown hairand darker eyes, her countenance had not the lustre of the res, anditsexpression was grave and perhaps pensive.The duke, though still young, and naturally of a gay and joyoustemperament, had a high sense of duty, and strongdomestic feelings. Hewas never wanting in his public place, and he was fond of his wife andhis children; still more, proud of them. Every day when he lookedintothe glass, and gave the last touch to his consummate toilet, he offeredhis grateful thanks to Providence that his family was not unworthy ofhim.His grace wasaccustomed to say that he had only one misfortune, andit was a great one; he had no home. His family had married so manyheiresses, and he, consequently,possessed so many halls and castles, atall of which, periodically, he wished, from a right feeling, to reside,that there was no sacred spot identified with his life inwhich hisheart, in the bustle and tumult of existence, could take refuge.Brentham was the original seat of his family, and he was evenpassionately fond of it; butit was remarkable how very short a periodof his yearly life was passed under its stately roof. So it was hiscustom always to repair to Brentham the moment theseason was over, andhe would exact from his children, that, however short might be the time,they would be his companions under those circumstances. Thedaughtersloved Brentham, and they loved to please their father; but thesons-in-law, though they were what is called devoted to their wives,and, unusual as itmay seem, scarcely less attached to their legalparents, did not fall very easily into this arrangement. The countryin August without sport was unquestionably tothem a severe trial:nevertheless, they rarely omitted making their appearance, and, if theydid occasionally vanish, sometimes to Cowes, sometimes toSwitzerland,sometimes to Norway, they always wrote to their wives, and alwaysalluded to their immediate or approaching return; and their lettersgracefullycontributed to the fund of domestic amusement.And yet it would be difficult to find a fairer scene than Brenthamoffered, especially in the lustrous effulgence of aglorious Englishsummer. It was an Italian palace of freestone; vast, ornate, and inscrupulous condition; its spacious and graceful chambers filled withtreasures ofart, and rising itself from statued and stately terraces.At their foot spread a gardened domain of considerable extent, brightwith flowers, dim with coverts of rareshrubs, and musical withfountains. Its limit reached a park, with timber such as the midlandcounties only can produce. The fallow deer trooped among itsfernysolitudes and gigantic oaks; but, beyond the waters of the broad andwinding lake, the scene became more savage, and the eye caught the darkforms of thered deer on some jutting mount, shrinking with scorn fromcommunion with his gentler brethren.CHAPTER 2Lothair was the little boy whom the duchessremembered. He was aposthumous child, and soon lost a devoted mother. His only relation wasone of his two guardians, a Scotch noble--a Presbyterian and aWhig.This uncle was a widower with some children, but they were girls, and,though Lothair was attached to them, too young to be his companions.Their fatherwas a keen, hard man, honorable and just but with nosoftness of heart or manner. He guarded with precise knowledge and withunceasing vigilance over Lothair'svast inheritance, which was in manycounties and in more than one kingdom; but he educated him in a Highlandhome, and when he had reached boyhood thoughtfit to send him to theHigh School of Edinburgh. Lothair passed a monotonous, if not a dull,life; but he found occasional solace in the scenes of a wild andbeautifulnature, and delight in all the sports of the field and forest,in which he was early initiated and completely indulged. Although anEnglishman, he was fifteen beforehe re-visited his country, and thenhis glimpses of England were brief, and to him scarcely satisfactory. Hewas hurried sometimes to vast domains, which he heardwere his own; andsometimes whisked to the huge metropolis, where he was shown St. Paul'sand the British-Museum. These visits left a vague impression ofbustlewithout kindness and exhaustion without excitement; and he was glad toget back to his glens, to the moor and the mountain-streams.His father, in theselection of his guardians, had not contemplatedthis system of education. While he secured by the appointment of hisbrother-in-law, the most competent andtrustworthy steward of his son'sfortune, he had depended on another for that influence which shouldmould the character, guide the opinions, and form the tastesof hischild. The other guardian was a clergyman, his father's private tutorand heart-friend; scarcely his parent's senior, but exercising overhim irresistibleinfluence, for he was a man of shining talents andabounding knowledge, brilliant and profound. But unhappily, shortlyafter Lothair became an orphan, thisdistinguished man seceded from theAnglican communion, and entered the Church of Rome. From this momentthere was war between the guardians. The uncleendeavored to drive hiscolleague from the trust: in this he failed, for the priest would notrenounce his office. The Scotch noble succeeded, however, in making itafruitless one: he thwarted every suggestion that emanated from theobnoxious quarter; and, indeed, the secret reason of the almost constantresidence of Lothairin Scotland, and of his harsh education, was thefear of his relative, that the moment he crossed the border he might, bysome mysterious process, fall under theinfluence that his guardian somuch dreaded and detested.There was however, a limit to these severe precautions, even beforeLothair should reach his majority.His father had expressed in his willthat his son should be educated at the University of Oxford, and at thesame college of which he had been a member. His unclewas of opinion hecomplied with the spirit of this instruction by sending Lothair to theUniversity of Edinburgh, which would give the last tonic to his moralsystem;and then commenced a celebrated chancery-suit, instituted by theRoman Catholic guardian, in order to enforce a literal compliancewith the educational conditionof the will. The uncle looked uponthis movement as a popish plot, and had recourse to every availableallegation and argument to baffle it: but ultimately in vain.With everyprecaution to secure his Protestant principles, and to guard against theinfluence, or even personal interference of his Roman Catholic guardian,thelord-chancellor decided that Lothair should be sent to Christchurch.Here Lothair, who had never been favored with a companion of his ownage and station, soonfound a congenial one in the heir of Brentham.Inseparable in pastime, not dissociated even in study, sympathizingcompanionship soon ripened into ferventfriendship. They lived somuch together that the idea of separation became not only painful butimpossible; and, when vacation arrived, and Brentham was to bevisitedby its future lord, what more natural than that it should be arrangedthat Lothair should be a visitor to his domain?CHAPTER 3Although Lothair was thepossessor of as many palaces and castles as theduke himself, it is curious that his first dinner at Brentham wasalmost his introduction into refined society. He hadbeen a guest at theoccasional banquets of his uncle; but these were festivals of thePicts and Scots; rude plenty and coarse splendor, with noise insteadofconversation, and a tumult of obstructive defendants, who impeded, bytheir want of skill, the very convenience which they were purposed tofacilitate. Howdifferent the surrounding scene! A table covered withflowers, bright with fanciful crystal, and porcelain that had belongedto sovereigns, who had given a name toits color or its form. Asfor those present, all seemed grace and gentleness, from the radiantdaughters of the house to the noiseless attendants that anticipatedallhis wants, and sometimes seemed to suggest his wishes.Lothair sat between two of the married daughters. They addressed himwith so much sympathy that hewas quite enchanted. When they asked theirpretty questions and made their sparkling remarks, roses seemed to dropfrom their lips, and sometimes diamonds. Itwas a rather large party,for the Brentham family were so numerous that they themselves madea festival. There were four married daughters, the duke and"}

HOME AGAINIt was a clear, apple-green evening in May, and Four Winds Harbour wasmirroring back the clouds ofthe golden west between its softly darkshores. The sea moaned eerily on the sand-bar, sorrowful even in spring,but a sly, jovial wind came piping down the redharbour road along whichMiss Cornelia's comfortable, matronly figure was making its way towardsthe village of Glen St. Mary. Miss Cornelia was rightfully Mrs.MarshallElliott, and had been Mrs. Marshall Elliott for thirteen years, but evenyet more people referred to her as Miss Cornelia than as Mrs.Elliott. The old namewas dear to her old friends, only one of themcontemptuously dropped it. Susan Baker, the gray and grim and faithfulhandmaiden of the Blythe family atIngleside, never lost an opportunityof calling her \"Mrs. Marshall Elliott,\" with the most killing andpointed emphasis, as if to say \"You wanted to be Mrs. and Mrs.you shallbe with a vengeance as far as I am concerned.\"Miss Cornelia was going up to Ingleside to see Dr. and Mrs. Blythe, whowere just home from Europe.They had been away for three months, havingleft in February to attend a famous medical congress in London; andcertain things, which Miss Cornelia was anxiousto discuss, had takenplace in the Glen during their absence. For one thing, there was a newfamily in the manse. And such a family! Miss Cornelia shook herheadover them several times as she walked briskly along.Susan Baker and the Anne Shirley of other days saw her coming, as theysat on the big veranda atIngleside, enjoying the charm of the cat'slight, the sweetness of sleepy robins whistling among the twilit maples,and the dance of a gusty group of daffodilsblowing against the old,mellow, red brick wall of the lawn.Anne was sitting on the steps, her hands clasped over her knee, looking,in the kind dusk, as girlish as amother of many has any right to be;and the beautiful gray-green eyes, gazing down the harbour road, wereas full of unquenchable sparkle and dream as ever.Behind her, in thehammock, Rilla Blythe was curled up, a fat, roly-poly little creatureof six years, the youngest of the Ingleside children. She had curly redhairand hazel eyes that were now buttoned up after the funny, wrinkledfashion in which Rilla always went to sleep.Shirley, \"the little brown boy,\" as he was known inthe family \"Who'sWho,\" was asleep in Susan's arms. He was brown-haired, brown-eyed andbrown-skinned, with very rosy cheeks, and he was Susan'sespeciallove. After his birth Anne had been very ill for a long time, and Susan\"mothered\" the baby with a passionate tenderness which none of the otherchildren,dear as they were to her, had ever called out. Dr. Blythe hadsaid that but for her he would never have lived.\"I gave him life just as much as you did, Mrs. Dr.dear,\" Susan was wontto say. \"He is just as much my baby as he is yours.\" And, indeed, it wasalways to Susan that Shirley ran, to be kissed for bumps, androckedto sleep, and protected from well-deserved spankings. Susan hadconscientiously spanked all the other Blythe children when she thoughtthey needed it fortheir souls' good, but she would not spank Shirleynor allow his mother to do it. Once, Dr. Blythe had spanked him andSusan had been stormily indignant.\"Thatman would spank an angel, Mrs. Dr. dear, that he would,\" she haddeclared bitterly; and she would not make the poor doctor a pie forweeks.She had taken Shirleywith her to her brother's home during his parents'absence, while all the other children had gone to Avonlea, and she hadthree blessed months of him all toherself. Nevertheless, Susan was veryglad to find herself back at Ingleside, with all her darlings around heragain. Ingleside was her world and in it she reignedsupreme. Even Anneseldom questioned her decisions, much to the disgust of Mrs. RachelLynde of Green Gables, who gloomily told Anne, whenever she visitedFourWinds, that she was letting Susan get to be entirely too much of a bossand would live to rue it.\"Here is Cornelia Bryant coming up the harbour road, Mrs. Dr.dear,\"said Susan. \"She will be coming up to unload three months' gossip onus.\"\"I hope so,\" said Anne, hugging her knees. \"I'm starving for Glen St.Mary gossip,Susan. I hope Miss Cornelia can tell me everything thathas happened while we've been away--EVERYTHING--who has got born, ormarried, or drunk; who hasdied, or gone away, or come, or fought, orlost a cow, or found a beau. It's so delightful to be home again withall the dear Glen folks, and I want to know all aboutthem. Why, Iremember wondering, as I walked through Westminster Abbey which of hertwo especial beaux Millicent Drew would finally marry. Do youknow,Susan, I have a dreadful suspicion that I love gossip.\"\"Well, of course, Mrs. Dr. dear,\" admitted Susan, \"every proper womanlikes to hear the news. I amrather interested in Millicent Drew's casemyself. I never had a beau, much less two, and I do not mind now, forbeing an old maid does not hurt when you getused to it. Millicent'shair always looks to me as if she had swept it up with a broom. But themen do not seem to mind that.\"\"They see only her pretty, piquant,mocking, little face, Susan.\"\"That may very well be, Mrs. Dr. dear. The Good Book says that favour isdeceitful and beauty is vain, but I should not have mindedfinding thatout for myself, if it had been so ordained. I have no doubt we willall be beautiful when we are angels, but what good will it do us then?Speaking ofgossip, however, they do say that poor Mrs. Harrison Millerover harbour tried to hang herself last week.\"\"Oh, Susan!\"\"Calm yourself, Mrs. Dr. dear. She did notsucceed. But I really do notblame her for trying, for her husband is a terrible man. But she wasvery foolish to think of hanging herself and leaving the way clearforhim to marry some other woman. If I had been in her shoes, Mrs. Dr.dear, I would have gone to work to worry him so that he would tryto hang himself insteadof me. Not that I hold with people hangingthemselves under any circumstances, Mrs. Dr. dear.\"\"What is the matter with Harrison Miller, anyway?\" saidAnneimpatiently. \"He is always driving some one to extremes.\"\"Well, some people call it religion and some call it cussedness, beggingyour pardon, Mrs. Dr. dear,for using such a word. It seems they cannotmake out which it is in Harrison's case. There are days when hegrowls at everybody because he thinks he isfore-ordained to eternalpunishment. And then there are days when he says he does not care andgoes and gets drunk. My own opinion is that he is not sound inhisintellect, for none of that branch of the Millers were. His grandfatherwent out of his mind. He thought he was surrounded by big black spiders.They crawledover him and floated in the air about him. I hope I shallnever go insane, Mrs. Dr. dear, and I do not think I will, because it isnot a habit of the Bakers. But, if anall-wise Providence should decreeit, I hope it will not take the form of big black spiders, for I loathethe animals. As for Mrs. Miller, I do not know whether shereallydeserves pity or not. There are some who say she just married Harrisonto spite Richard Taylor, which seems to me a very peculiar reasonfor gettingmarried. But then, of course, _I_ am no judge of thingsmatrimonial, Mrs. Dr. dear. And there is Cornelia Bryant at the gate, soI will put this blessed brown babyon his bed and get my knitting.\"CHAPTER II.

I knowof noother of his books that leaves so many images in the mind, so freshafter many a year.  The scene starts with a young man cycling on hispenny-farthingtowards London.  On the way he has an accident, knockingdown an elderly lady, but fleeing the scene when he sees a policemancoming.  But when he gets homehe finds a telegram informing him thathis friends will be departing very soon in a yacht, to visit theislands on the North-West of Britain, so he joinsthem.Unfortunately there is a fog and the yacht is damaged but all the youngmen and their crew manage to get ashore, finding themselves in theneighbourhoodof a large house, the residence of a gentleman and hisfamily.  They are invited to stay there as his guests, and it is atthis point that the adventures begin,involving fishing, shooting,bird-watching, sailing and so forth.  There is a charming young ladyalso staying in the house, and deploying her hobby ofpainting.  Ourhero falls in love with her, but is very much taken aback when she isjoined by her mother, who turns out to be none other than the elderlylady hehad knocked down back in London.  Even more disastrous was thefire that destroyed the house.  This is a brilliant book, and you willlove it.As a footnote you maybe surprised that one of the children is calledJunkie.  This certainly does not mean that same as it does today:instead it is a nickname given to a favouriteboy-child, and you willfind several examples of this in Ballantyne'sbooks.________________________________________________________________________THE EAGLE CLIFF, BY R.M. BALLANTYNE.CHAPTER ONE.BEGINSTHE TALE--NATURALLY.From the earliest records of history we learn that man has ever beenenvious of the birds, and of all other winged creatures.  He haslongedand striven to fly.  He has also signally failed to do so.We say \"failed\" advisedly, because his various attempts in thatdirection have usually resulted indisappointment and broken bones.  Asto balloons, we do not admit that they fly any more than do ships;balloons merely float and glide, when not otherwiseengaged in tumbling,collapsing, and bursting.This being so, we draw attention to the fact that the nearest approachwe have yet made to the sensation of flying isthat achieved by rushingdown a long, smooth, steep hill-road on a well-oiled and perfectball-bearings bicycle!  Skating cannot compare with this, for thatrequiresexertion; bicycling down hill requires none.  Hunting cannot,no matter how splendid the mount, for that implies a certain element ofbumping, which, howeverpleasant in itself, is not suggestive of thesmooth swift act of flying.We introduce this subject merely because thoughts somewhat similar tothose which we haveso inadequately expressed were burning in the brainof a handsome and joyful young man one summer morning not long ago, as,with legs over the handles, heflashed--if he did not actually fly--downone of our Middlesex hills on his way to London.Urgent haste was in every look and motion of that young man's fineeyesand lithe body.  He would have bought wings at any price had that beenpossible; but, none being yet in the market, he made the most of hiswheel--afifty-eight inch one, by the way, for the young man's legs werelong, as well as strong.Arrived at the bottom of the hill the hilarious youth put his feet tothetreadles, and drove the machine vigorously up the opposite slope.It was steep, but he was powerful.  He breathed hard, no doubt, but henever flagged until hegained the next summit.  A shout burst from hislips as he rolled along the level top, for there, about ten miles off,lay the great city, glittering in the sunshine, andwith only anamber-tinted canopy of its usual smoke above it.Among the tall elms and in the flowering hedgerows between which heswept, innumerable birdswarbled or twittered their astonishment that hecould fly with such heedless rapidity through that beautiful country,and make for the dismal town in suchmagnificent weather.  One aspiringlark overhead seemed to repeat, with persistent intensity, its trill ofself gratulation that it had not been born a man.  Even thecattleappeared to regard the youth as a sort of ornithological curiosity, forthe sentiment, \"Well, you are a goose!\" was clearly written on theirmild faces as he flewpast them.Over the hill-top he went--twelve miles an hour at the least--until hereached the slope on the other side; then down he rushed again, drivingat the firstpart of the descent like an insane steam-engine, till thepace must have increased to twenty miles, at which point, the whirl ofthe wheel becoming too rapid, hewas obliged once more to rest his legson the handles, and take to repose, contemplation, and wiping his heatedbrow--equivalent this, we might say, to thefloating descent of thesea-mew.  Of course the period of rest was of brief duration, for,although the hill was a long slope, with many a glimpse oflovelinessbetween the trees, the time occupied in its flight was short, and, atthe bottom a rustic bridge, with an old inn and a thatched hamlet, withan awkwardlysharp turn in the road beyond it, called for wary andintelligent guidance of this lightning express.Swiftly but safely to the foot of the hill went John Barret (thatwasthe youth's name), at ever-increasing speed, and without check; for noone seemed to be moving about in the quiet hamlet, and the old Englishinn hadapparently fallen asleep.A delicious undulating swoop at the bottom indicates the crossing of thebridge.  A flash, and the inn is in rear.  The hamlet displays nosignof life, nevertheless Barret is cautious.  He lays a finger on the brakeand touches the bell.  He is half-way through the hamlet and all goeswell; still no sign oflife except--yes, this so-called proof of everyrule is always forthcoming, except that there is the sudden appearanceof one stately cock.  This is followedimmediately by its sudden andunstately disappearance.  A kitten also emerges from somewhere, glares,arches, fuffs, becomes indescribable, and--is not!  Two orthreechildren turn up and gape, but do not recover in time to insult, or toincrease the dangers of the awkward turn in the road which is now athand.Barret looksthoughtful.  Must the pace be checked here?  The road isopen and visible.  It is bordered by grass banks and ditches on eitherside.  He rushes close to the leftbank and, careering gracefully to theright like an Algerine felucca in a white squall, dares the laws ofgravitation and centrifugal force to the utmost limitation,anddescribes a magnificent segment of a great circle.  Almost before youcan wink he is straight again, and pegging along with irresistiblepertinacity.Just beyondthe hamlet a suburban lady is encountered, with claspedhands and beseeching eyes, for a loose hairy bundle, animated by thespirit of a dog, stands in the middleof the road, bidding defiance tothe entire universe!  The hairy bundle loses its head all at once,likewise its heart: it has not spirit left even to get out of the way.Amomentary lean of the bicycle first to the left and then to the rightdescribes what artists call \"the line of beauty,\" in a bight of whichthe bundle remains behind,crushed in spirit, but unhurt in body.At the bottom of the next hill a small roadside inn greets our cyclist.That which cocks, kittens, dangers, and dogs could noteffect, the innaccomplishes.  He \"slows.\"  In front of the door he describes an airycirclet, dismounting while yet in motion, leans the lightning expressagainst thewall, and enters.  What! does that vigorous, handsome,powerful fellow, in the flush of early manhood, drink?  Ay, truly hedoes.\"Glass of bitter, sir?\" asks theexuberant landlord.\"Ginger,\" says the young man, pointing significantly to a bit of blueribbon in his button-hole.\"Come far to-day, sir?\" asks the host, as he poursout the liquid.\"Fifty miles--rather more,\" says Barret, setting down the glass.\"Fine weather, sir, for bicycling,\" says the landlord, sweeping in thecoppers.\"Very;good-day.\"Before that cheery \"Good-day\" had ceased to affect the publican's brainBarret was again spinning along the road to London.It was the road on whichthe mail coaches of former days used to whirl,to the merry music of bugle, wheel, and whip, along which so many menand women had plodded in days gone by,in search of fame and fortune andhappiness: some, to find these in a greater or less degree, with much ofthe tinsel rubbed off, others, to find none of them, butinsteadthereof, wreck and ruin in the mighty human whirlpool; and not a few todiscover the fact that happiness does not depend either on fortune orfame, but onspiritual harmony with God in Jesus Christ.Pedestrians there still were on that road, bound for the same goal, and,doubtless, with similar aims; but mail and othercoaches had been drivenfrom the scene.Barret had the broad road pretty much to himself.Quickly he ran into the suburban districts, and here his urgent hastehadto be restrained a little.\"What if I am too late!\" he thought, and almost involuntarily put on aspurt.Soon he entered the crowded thoroughfares, and wascompelled to curbboth steed and spirit.  Passing through one of the less-frequentedstreets in the neighbourhood of Finchley Road, he ventured to give therein tohis willing charger.But here Fortune ceased to smile--and Fortune was to be commended forher severity.Barret, although kind, courteous, manly, sensitive, andreasonablycareful, was not just what he ought to have been.  Although a hero, hewas not perfect.  He committed the unpardonable sin of turning a streetcornersharply!  A thin little old lady crossed the road at the sameidentical moment, slowly.  They met!  Who can describe that meeting?Not the writer, for he did not seeit; more's the pity!  Very few peoplesaw it, for it was a quiet corner.  The parties concerned cannot be saidto have seen, though they felt it.  Both went down.  Itwas awful,really, to see a feeble old lady struggling with an athlete and abicycle!Two little street boys, and a ragged girl appeared as if by magic.  Theyalwaysdo!\"Oh!  I say!  Ain't he bin and squashed 'er?\"Such was the remark of one of the boys.\"Pancakes is plump to 'er,\" was the observation of the other.The raggedgirl said nothing, but looked unspeakable things.Burning with shame, trembling with anxiety, covered with dust andconsiderably bruised, Barret sprang up, lefthis fallen steed, and,raising the little old lady with great tenderness in his arms, sat heron the pavement with her back against the railings, while he pouredoutabject apologies and earnest inquiries.Strange to say the old lady was not hurt in the least--only a good dealshaken and very indignant.Stranger still, a"}

My ancestorsmigrated from England inthe reign of Charles II.; and my grandfatherwas not undistinguished in the War of Independence. My family,therefore, enjoyed a somewhat high social position inright of birth;and being also opulent, they were considered disqualified for the publicservice. My father once ran for Congress, but was signally defeated byhistailor. After that event he interfered little in politics, and livedmuch in his library. I was the eldest of three sons, and sent at the ageof sixteen to the old country,partly to complete my literary education,partly to commence my commercial training in a mercantile firm atLiverpool. My father died shortly after I wastwenty-one; and being leftwell off, and having a taste for travel and adventure, I resigned, fora time, all pursuit of the almighty dollar, and became adesultorywanderer over the face of the earth.In the year 18__, happening to be in _____, I was invited by aprofessional engineer, with whom I had madeacquaintance, to visit therecesses of the ________ mine, upon which he was employed.The reader will understand, ere he close this narrative, my reasonforconcealing all clue to the district of which I write, and will perhapsthank me for refraining from any description that may tend to itsdiscovery.Let me say, then,as briefly as possible, that I accompanied theengineer into the interior of the mine, and became so strangelyfascinated by its gloomy wonders, and so interestedin my friend\u0000sexplorations, that I prolonged my stay in the neighbourhood, anddescended daily, for some weeks, into the vaults and galleries hollowedby natureand art beneath the surface of the earth. The engineer waspersuaded that far richer deposits of mineral wealth than had yet beendetected, would be found in anew shaft that had been commenced underhis operations. In piercing this shaft we came one day upon a chasmjagged and seemingly charred at the sides, as ifburst asunder at somedistant period by volcanic fires. Down this chasm my friend causedhimself to be lowered in a \u0000cage,\u0000 having first tested theatmosphereby the safety-lamp. He remained nearly an hour in the abyss. When hereturned he was very pale, and with an anxious, thoughtful expressionof face,very different from its ordinary character, which was open,cheerful, and fearless.He said briefly that the descent appeared to him unsafe, and leading tono result;and, suspending further operations in the shaft, we returnedto the more familiar parts of the mine.All the rest of that day the engineer seemed preoccupied bysomeabsorbing thought. He was unusually taciturn, and there was a scared,bewildered look in his eyes, as that of a man who has seen a ghost. Atnight, as wetwo were sitting alone in the lodging we shared togethernear the mouth of the mine, I said to my friend,--\u0000Tell me frankly what you saw in that chasm: I amsure it was somethingstrange and terrible. Whatever it be, it has left your mind in a stateof doubt. In such a case two heads are better than one. Confide inme.\u0000The engineer long endeavoured to evade my inquiries; but as, while hespoke, he helped himself unconsciously out of the brandy-flask to adegree to whichhe was wholly unaccustomed, for he was a very temperateman, his reserve gradually melted away. He who would keep himself tohimself should imitate the dumbanimals, and drink water. At last hesaid, \u0000I will tell you all. When the cage stopped, I found myself ona ridge of rock; and below me, the chasm, taking a slantingdirection,shot down to a considerable depth, the darkness of which my lamp couldnot have penetrated. But through it, to my infinite surprise, streamedupward asteady brilliant light. Could it be any volcanic fire? In thatcase, surely I should have felt the heat. Still, if on this there wasdoubt, it was of the utmost importanceto our common safety to clear itup. I examined the sides of the descent, and found that I could ventureto trust myself to the irregular projection of ledges, atleast for someway. I left the cage and clambered down. As I drew nearer and nearer tothe light, the chasm became wider, and at last I saw, to myunspeakableamaze, a broad level road at the bottom of the abyss, illumined as faras the eye could reach by what seemed artificial gas-lamps placed atregularintervals, as in the thoroughfare of a great city; and I heardconfusedly at a distance a hum as of human voices. I know, of course,that no rival miners are at workin this district. Whose could be thosevoices? What human hands could have levelled that road and marshalledthose lamps?\u0000The superstitious belief, common tominers, that gnomes or fiends dwellwithin the bowels of the earth, began to seize me. I shuddered at thethought of descending further and braving theinhabitants of this nethervalley. Nor indeed could I have done so without ropes, as from the spotI had reached to the bottom of the chasm the sides of the rocksank downabrupt, smooth, and sheer. I retraced my steps with some difficulty. NowI have told you all.\u0000\u0000You will descend again?\u0000\u0000I ought, yet I feel as if Idurst not.\u0000\u0000A trusty companion halves the journey and doubles the courage. I willgo with you. We will provide ourselves with ropes of suitable lengthandstrength--and--pardon me--you must not drink more to-night, our handsand feet must be steady and firm tomorrow.\u0000Chapter II.With the morning myfriend\u0000s nerves were rebraced, and he was notless excited by curiosity than myself. Perhaps more; for he evidentlybelieved in his own story, and I feltconsiderable doubt of it; not thathe would have wilfully told an untruth, but that I thought he must havebeen under one of those hallucinations which seize on ourfancy or ournerves in solitary, unaccustomed places, and in which we give shape tothe formless and sound to the dumb.We selected six veteran miners to watchour descent; and as the cageheld only one at a time, the engineer descended first; and when he hadgained the ledge at which he had before halted, the cagerearose for me.I soon gained his side. We had provided ourselves with a strong coil ofrope.The light struck on my sight as it had done the day before onmyfriend\u0000s. The hollow through which it came sloped diagonally: it seemedto me a diffused atmospheric light, not like that from fire, but softand silvery, as froma northern star. Quitting the cage, we descended,one after the other, easily enough, owing to the juts in the side, tillwe reached the place at which my friend hadpreviously halted, and whichwas a projection just spacious enough to allow us to stand abreast. Fromthis spot the chasm widened rapidly like the lower end of avast funnel,and I saw distinctly the valley, the road, the lamps which my companionhad described. He had exaggerated nothing. I heard the sounds hehadheard--a mingled indescribable hum as of voices and a dull tramp as offeet. Straining my eye farther down, I clearly beheld at a distance theoutline of somelarge building. It could not be mere natural rock, itwas too symmetrical, with huge heavy Egyptian-like columns, and thewhole lighted as from within. I had aboutme a small pocket-telescope,and by the aid of this, I could distinguish, near the building Imention, two forms which seemed human, though I could not be sure.Atleast they were living, for they moved, and both vanished within thebuilding. We now proceeded to attach the end of the rope we had broughtwith us to theledge on which we stood, by the aid of clamps andgrappling hooks, with which, as well as with necessary tools, we wereprovided.We were almost silent in ourwork. We toiled like men afraid to speak toeach other. One end of the rope being thus apparently made firm to theledge, the other, to which we fastened afragment of the rock, rested onthe ground below, a distance of some fifty feet. I was a younger man anda more active man than my companion, and havingserved on board ship inmy boyhood, this mode of transit was more familiar to me than to him. Ina whisper I claimed the precedence, so that when I gained theground Imight serve to hold the rope more steady for his descent. I got safelyto the ground beneath, and the engineer now began to lower himself.But he hadscarcely accomplished ten feet of the descent, when thefastenings, which we had fancied so secure, gave way, or rather therock itself proved treacherous andcrumbled beneath the strain; and theunhappy man was precipitated to the bottom, falling just at my feet,and bringing down with his fall splinters of the rock, oneof which,fortunately but a small one, struck and for the time stunned me. When Irecovered my senses I saw my companion an inanimate mass beside me,lifeutterly extinct. While I was bending over his corpse in grief andhorror, I heard close at hand a strange sound between a snort and ahiss; and turning instinctivelyto the quarter from which it came, I sawemerging from a dark fissure in the rock a vast and terrible head,with open jaws and dull, ghastly, hungry eyes--the headof a monstrousreptile resembling that of the crocodile or alligator, but infinitelylarger than the largest creature of that kind I had ever beheld in mytravels. Istarted to my feet and fled down the valley at my utmostspeed. I stopped at last, ashamed of my panic and my flight, andreturned to the spot on which I had leftthe body of my friend. Itwas gone; doubtless the monster had already drawn it into its den anddevoured it.

At my right hand, ravines and defiles opened amidst the rocks,with passes between, evidently constructed by art, and bordered bytreesresembling, for the most part, gigantic ferns, with exquisite varietiesof feathery foliage, and stems like those of the palm-tree.

The sound of electronic music rises, hollow, metallic.     FADE IN on a long TRACKING SHOT through theuniverse.  As the NARRATOR     speaks we move through galaxies, nebulae, solar systems, moving from     the infinite slowly down to a particular planetarysystem deep within     a maze of suns.                                   NARRATOR                              (over)                    It is the mid 22ndCentury.  Mankind                    has explored the boundaries of his                    own solar system, and now he reaches                    out to the endlessinterstellar                    distances of the universe.  He moves                    away from his own small planetary                    system in huge hyperdrivestarships:                    computer-driven, self-supporting,                    closed-system spacecraft that travel                    at mind-staggeringpost-light                    velocities.  Man has begun to spread                    among the stars.  Enormous ships                    embark with generations ofcolonists                    searching the depths of space for                    new earths, now homes, new                    beginnings.  Far in advance ofthese                    colony ships goes a new pioneer: the                    scouts, the pathfinders, a special                    breed of man who has dedicated"}

C. HEATH & CO.,PUBLISHERS1905COPYRIGHT, 1905, BYD. C. HEATH & CO.Prefatory NoteIn this volume an attempt is made for the first time to edit _BussyD'Ambois_ and _TheRevenge of Bussy D'Ambois_ in a manner suitable tothe requirements of modern scholarship. Of the relations of this editionto its predecessors some details aregiven in the Notes on the Text ofthe two plays. But in these few prefatory words I should like to callattention to one or two points, and make someacknowledgments.The immediate source of _Bussy D'Ambois_ still remains undiscovered. Butthe episodes in the career of Chapman's hero, vouched forbycontemporaries like Brantôme and Marguerite of Valois, and related insome detail in my _Introduction_, are typical of the material which thedramatist workedupon. And an important clue to the spirit in which hehandled it is the identification, here first made, of part of Bussy'sdying speech with lines put by Seneca intothe mouth of Hercules in hislast agony on Mount Oeta. The exploits of D'Ambois were in Chapman'simaginative vision those of a semi-mythical hero rather than ofaFrenchman whose life overlapped with his own.On the _provenance_ of _The Revenge of Bussy D'Ambois_ I have beenfortunately able, with valuable assistancefrom others, to cast much newlight. In an article in _The Athenæum_, Jan. 10, 1903, I showed that theimmediate source of many of the episodes in the play wasEdwardGrimeston's translation (1607) of Jean de Serres's _Inventaire Généralde l'Histoire de France_. Since that date I owe to Mr. H. Richards,Fellow ofWadham College, Oxford, the important discovery that a numberof speeches in the play are borrowed from the _Discourses_ of Epictetus,from whom Chapmandrew his conception of the character of ClermontD'Ambois. My brother-in-law, Mr. S. G. Owen, Student of Christ Church,has given me valuable help in explainingsome obscure classicalallusions. Dr. J. A. H. Murray, the editor of the _New EnglishDictionary_, has kindly furnished me with the interpretation of adifficultpassage in _Bussy D'Ambois_; and Mr. W. J. Craig, editor ofthe _Arden_ Shakespeare, and Mr. Le Gay Brereton, of the University ofSidney, have been goodenough to proffer helpful suggestions. Finally Iam indebted to Professor George P. Baker, the General Editor of thisSeries, for valuable advice and help on a largenumber of points, whilethe proofs of this volume were passing through the press.                                                           F. S. B.BiographyGeorge Chapman wasprobably born in the year after Elizabeth'saccession. Anthony Wood gives 1557 as the date, but the inscription onhis portrait, prefixed to the edition of _TheWhole Works of Homer_ in1616, points to 1559. He was a native of Hitchin in Hertfordshire, as welearn from an allusion in his poem _Euthymiæ Raptus_ or _TheTeares ofPeace_, and from W. Browne's reference to him in _Britannia's Pastorals_as \"the learned shepheard of faire Hitching Hill.\" According to Wood \"in1574 orthereabouts, he being well grounded in school learning was sentto the University.\" Wood is uncertain whether he went first to Oxford orto Cambridge, but he issure, though he gives no authority for thestatement, that Chapman spent some time at the former \"where he wasobserved to be most excellent in the Latin & Greek tongues, but not inlogic or philosophy, and therefore I presume that that was the reasonwhy he took no degree there.\"His life for almost a couple ofdecades afterwards is a blank, though ithas been conjectured on evidences drawn from _The Shadow of Night_ and_Alphonsus Emperor of Germany_,respectively, that he served in one ofSir F. Vere's campaigns in the Netherlands, and that he travelled inGermany. _The Shadow of Night_, consisting of two\"poeticall hymnes\"appeared in 1594, and is his first extant work. It was followed in 1595by _Ovid's Banquet of Sence_, _The Amorous Zodiac_, and otherpoems.These early compositions, while containing fine passages, are obscureand crabbed in style.[v-1] In 1598 appeared Marlowe's fragmentary _HeroandLeander_ with Chapman's continuation. By this year he hadestablished his position as a playwright, for Meres in his _PalladisTamia_ praises him both as a writerof tragedy and of comedy. We knowfrom Henslowe's _Diary_ that his earliest extant comedy _The BlindeBegger of Alexandria_ was produced on February 12,1596, and that forthe next two or three years he was working busily for this enterprisingmanager. _An Humerous dayes Myrth_ (pr. 1599), and _All Fooles_(pr.1605) under the earlier title of _The World Runs on Wheels_,[vi-1] werecomposed during this period.Meanwhile he had begun the work with which his name ismost closelylinked, his translation of Homer. The first instalment, entitled _SeavenBookes of the Iliades of Homere, Prince of Poets_, was published in1598, andwas dedicated to the Earl of Essex. After the Earl's executionChapman found a yet more powerful patron, for, as we learn from theletters printed recently in _TheAthenæum_ (cf. _Bibliography_, sec.III), he was appointed about 1604 \"sewer (i. e. cupbearer) in ordinary,\"to Prince Henry, eldest son of James I. The Princeencouraged him toproceed with his translation, and about 1609 appeared the first twelvebooks of the _Iliad_ (including the seven formerly published) with afine\"Epistle Dedicatory,\" to \"the high-born Prince of men, Henry.\" In1611 the version of the _Iliad_ was completed, and that of the _Odyssey_was, at Prince Henry'sdesire, now taken in hand. But the untimely deathof the Prince, on November 6th, 1612, dashed all Chapman's hopes ofreceiving the anticipated reward of hislabours. According to a petitionwhich he addressed to the Privy Council, the Prince had promised him onthe conclusion of his translation £300, and \"uppon hisdeathbed a goodpension during my life.\" Not only were both of these withheld, but hewas deprived of his post of \"sewer\" by Prince Charles. Neverthelesshecompleted the version of the _Odyssey_ in 1614, and in 1616 he publisheda folio volume entitled _The Whole Works of Homer_. The translation, inspite of itsinaccuracies and its \"conceits,\" is, by virtue of itssustained dignity and vigour, one of the noblest monuments ofElizabethan genius.By 1605, if not earlier,Chapman had resumed his work for the stage. Inthat year he wrote conjointly with Marston and Jonson the comedy of_Eastward Hoe_. On account of somepassages reflecting on the Scotch,the authors were imprisoned. The details of the affair are obscure.According to Jonson, in his conversation later withDrummond, Chapmanand Marston were responsible for the obnoxious passages, and hevoluntarily imprisoned himself with them. But in one of therecentlyprinted letters, which apparently refers to this episode, Chapmandeclares that he and Jonson lie under the Kings displeasure for \"twoclawses and both ofthem not our owne,\" i. e., apparently, written byMarston.[vii-1] However this may be, the offenders were soon released,and Chapman continued energetically hisdramatic work. In 1606 appearedtwo of his most elaborate comedies, _The Gentleman Usher_ and _MonsieurD'Olive_, and in the next year was published his firstand mostsuccessful tragedy, _Bussy D'Ambois_. In 1608 were produced twoconnected plays, _The Conspiracie and Tragedie of Charles, Duke ofByron_, dealingwith recent events in France, and based upon materialsin E. Grimeston's translation (1607) of Jean de Serres' History. AgainChapman found himself in troublewith the authorities, for the Frenchambassador, offended by a scene in which Henry IV's Queen was introducedin unseemly fashion, had the performance of theplays stopped for atime. Chapman had to go into hiding to avoid arrest, and when he cameout, he had great difficulty in getting the plays licensed forpublication,even with the omission of the offending episodes. Hisfourth tragedy based on French history, _The Revenge of Bussy D'Ambois_,appeared in 1613. It had beenpreceded by two comedies, _May-Day_(1611), and _The Widdowes' Teares_ (1612). Possibly, as Mr Dobellsuggests (_Athenæum_, 23 March, 1901), the coarsesatire of the latterplay may have been due to its author's annoyance at the apparent refusalof his suit by a widow to whom some of the recently printed lettersareaddressed. In 1613 he produced his _Maske of the Middle Temple andLyncolns Inne_, which was one of the series performed in honour of themarriage of thePrincess Elizabeth and the Elector Palatine. Anotherhymeneal work, produced on a much less auspicious occasion, was anallegorical poem, _AndromedaLiberata_, celebrating the marriage of theEarl of Somerset with the divorced Lady Essex in December, 1613.The year 1614, when the _Odyssey_ was completed,marks the culminatingpoint of Chapman's literary activity. Henceforward, partly perhaps owingto the disappointment of his hopes through Prince Henry's death,hisproduction was more intermittent. Translations of the _Homeric Hymns_,of the _Georgicks_ of Hesiod, and other classical writings, mainlyoccupy the period till1631. In that year he printed another tragedy,_Cæsar and Pompey_, which, however, as we learn from the dedication, hadbeen written \"long since.\" Theremaining plays with which his name hasbeen connected did not appear during his lifetime. A comedy, _The Ball_,licensed in 1632, but not published till 1639,has the names of Chapmanand Shirley on the title-page, but the latter was certainly its mainauthor. Another play, however, issued in the same year, and ascribedtothe same hands, _The Tragedie of Chabot, Admiral of France_ makes theimpression, from its subject-matter and its style, of being chiefly dueto Chapman. In1654 two tragedies, _Alphonsus Emperour of Germany_ and_The Revenge for Honour_, were separately published under Chapman'sname. Their authorship,however, is doubtful. There is nothing in thestyle or diction of _Alphonsus_ which resembles Chapman's undisputedwork, and it is hard to believe that he had ahand in it. _The Revengefor Honour_ is on an Oriental theme, entirely different from thosehandled by Chapman in his other tragedies, and the versification"}

A. Harrison's houselike a great white mountain, was far away in a delicious world where acertainschoolteacher was doing a wonderful work, shaping the destiniesof future statesmen, and inspiring youthful minds and hearts with highand lofty ambitions.To besure, if you came down to harsh facts . . . which, it must beconfessed, Anne seldom did until she had to . . . it did not seem likelythat there was much promisingmaterial for celebrities in Avonleaschool; but you could never tell what might happen if a teacher usedher influence for good. Anne had certain rose-tinted idealsof what ateacher might accomplish if she only went the right way about it; andshe was in the midst of a delightful scene, forty years hence, with afamouspersonage . . . just exactly what he was to be famous for was leftin convenient haziness, but Anne thought it would be rather nice to havehim a college presidentor a Canadian premier . . . bowing low over herwrinkled hand and assuring her that it was she who had first kindled hisambition, and that all his success in lifewas due to the lessons shehad instilled so long ago in Avonlea school. This pleasant vision wasshattered by a most unpleasant interruption.A demure little Jerseycow came scuttling down the lane and five secondslater Mr. Harrison arrived . . . if \"arrived\" be not too mild a term todescribe the manner of his irruption into theyard.He bounced over the fence without waiting to open the gate, and angrilyconfronted astonished Anne, who had risen to her feet and stood lookingat him insome bewilderment. Mr. Harrison was their new righthandneighbor and she had never met him before, although she had seen himonce or twice.In early April,before Anne had come home from Queen's, Mr. Robert Bell,whose farm adjoined the Cuthbert place on the west, had sold out andmoved to Charlottetown. Hisfarm had been bought by a certain Mr. J. A.Harrison, whose name, and the fact that he was a New Brunswick man, wereall that was known about him. But beforehe had been a month in Avonleahe had won the reputation of being an odd person . . . \"a crank,\" Mrs.Rachel Lynde said. Mrs. Rachel was an outspoken lady, asthose of youwho may have already made her acquaintance will remember. Mr. Harrisonwas certainly different from other people . . . and that is theessentialcharacteristic of a crank, as everybody knows.In the first place he kept house for himself and had publicly statedthat he wanted no fools of womenaround his diggings. FeminineAvonlea took its revenge by the gruesome tales it related about hishouse-keeping and cooking. He had hired little John Henry CarterofWhite Sands and John Henry started the stories. For one thing, therewas never any stated time for meals in the Harrison establishment. Mr.Harrison \"got a bite\"when he felt hungry, and if John Henry were aroundat the time, he came in for a share, but if he were not, he had to waituntil Mr. Harrison's next hungry spell.John Henry mournfully averredthat he would have starved to death if it wasn't that he got home onSundays and got a good filling up, and that his mother alwaysgave him abasket of \"grub\" to take back with him on Monday mornings.As for washing dishes, Mr. Harrison never made any pretence of doing itunless a rainySunday came. Then he went to work and washed them all atonce in the rainwater hogshead, and left them to drain dry.Again, Mr. Harrison was \"close.\" When hewas asked to subscribe to theRev. Mr. Allan's salary he said he'd wait and see how many dollars'worth of good he got out of his preaching first . . . he didn'tbelievein buying a pig in a poke. And when Mrs. Lynde went to ask for acontribution to missions . . . and incidentally to see the inside ofthe house . . . he told herthere were more heathens among the old womangossips in Avonlea than anywhere else he knew of, and he'd cheerfullycontribute to a mission for Christianizingthem if she'd undertake it.Mrs. Rachel got herself away and said it was a mercy poor Mrs. RobertBell was safe in her grave, for it would have broken her heart toseethe state of her house in which she used to take so much pride.\"Why, she scrubbed the kitchen floor every second day,\" Mrs. Lynde toldMarilla Cuthbertindignantly, \"and if you could see it now! I had tohold up my skirts as I walked across it.\"Finally, Mr. Harrison kept a parrot called Ginger. Nobody in Avonleahadever kept a parrot before; consequently that proceeding was consideredbarely respectable. And such a parrot! If you took John Henry Carter'sword for it,never was such an unholy bird. It swore terribly. Mrs.Carter would have taken John Henry away at once if she had been sureshe could get another place for him.Besides, Ginger had bitten a pieceright out of the back of John Henry's neck one day when he had stoopeddown too near the cage. Mrs. Carter showed everybodythe mark when theluckless John Henry went home on Sundays.All these things flashed through Anne's mind as Mr. Harrison stood,quite speechless with wrathapparently, before her. In his most amiablemood Mr. Harrison could not have been considered a handsome man; he wasshort and fat and bald; and now, with hisround face purple with rageand his prominent blue eyes almost sticking out of his head, Annethought he was really the ugliest person she had ever seen.All atonce Mr. Harrison found his voice.\"I'm not going to put up with this,\" he spluttered, \"not a day longer,do you hear, miss. Bless my soul, this is the third time, miss. . .  thethird time! Patience has ceased to be a virtue, miss. I warned your auntthe last time not to let it occur again . . .  and she's let it . . . she'sdone it . . .what does she mean by it, that is what I want to know. Thatis what I'm here about, miss.\"\"Will you explain what the trouble is?\" asked Anne, in her mostdignifiedmanner. She had been practicing it considerably of late tohave it in good working order when school began; but it had no apparenteffect on the irate J. A.Harrison.\"Trouble, is it? Bless my soul, trouble enough, I should think. Thetrouble is, miss, that I found that Jersey cow of your aunt's in my oatsagain, not half anhour ago. The third time, mark you. I found her inlast Tuesday and I found her in yesterday. I came here and told youraunt not to let it occur again. She has let itoccur again. Where's youraunt, miss?

Harrison's mind, miss.\"\"If you meanMiss Marilla Cuthbert, she is not my aunt, and she has gonedown to East Grafton to see a distant relative of hers who is very ill,\"said Anne, with due increase ofdignity at every word. \"I am very sorrythat my cow should have broken into your oats . . .  she is my cow and notMiss Cuthbert's . . . Matthew gave her to methree years ago when she wasa little calf and he bought her from Mr. Bell.\"\"Sorry, miss! Sorry isn't going to help matters any. You'd better go andlook at thehavoc that animal has made in my oats . . . trampled them fromcenter to circumference, miss.\"\"I am very sorry,\" repeated Anne firmly, \"but perhaps if you keptyourfences in better repair Dolly might not have broken in. It is your partof the line fence that separates your oatfield from our pasture and Inoticed the other daythat it was not in very good condition.\"\"My fence is all right,\" snapped Mr. Harrison, angrier than ever at thiscarrying of the war into the enemy's country. \"Thejail fence couldn'tkeep a demon of a cow like that out. And I can tell you, you redheadedsnippet, that if the cow is yours, as you say, you'd be better employedinwatching her out of other people's grain than in sitting roundreading yellow-covered novels,\" . . . with a scathing glance at theinnocent tan-colored Virgil byAnne's feet.Something at that moment was red besides Anne's hair . . . which hadalways been a tender point with her.\"I'd rather have red hair than none at all,except a little fringe roundmy ears,\" she flashed.The shot told, for Mr. Harrison was really very sensitive about his baldhead. His anger choked him up again andhe could only glare speechlesslyat Anne, who recovered her temper and followed up her advantage.\"I can make allowance for you, Mr. Harrison, because I haveanimagination. I can easily imagine how very trying it must be to find acow in your oats and I shall not cherish any hard feelings against youfor the things you'vesaid. I promise you that Dolly shall never breakinto your oats again. I give you my word of honor on THAT point.\"\"Well, mind you she doesn't,\" muttered Mr.Harrison in a somewhatsubdued tone; but he stamped off angrily enough and Anne heard himgrowling to himself until he was out of earshot.Grievously disturbedin mind, Anne marched across the yard and shut thenaughty Jersey up in the milking pen.\"She can't possibly get out of that unless she tears the fence down,\"she"}

You would letthem go cold; you know you would!\"\"I wish to hatch my own eggs; I will hatch themall by myself,\" quackedJemima Puddle-duck.[Illustration]She tried to hide her eggs; but they were always found and carried off.Jemima Puddle-duck becamequite desperate. She determined to make a nestright away from the farm.[Illustration]She set off on a fine spring afternoon along the cart-road that leadsoverthe hill.She was wearing a shawl and a poke bonnet.[Illustration]When she reached the top of the hill, she saw a wood in the distance.She thought that itlooked a safe quiet spot.[Illustration]Jemima Puddle-duck was not much in the habit of flying. She ran downhill afew yards flapping her shawl, and then shejumped off into the air.[Illustration]She flew beautifully when she had got a good start.She skimmed along over the tree-tops until she saw an open place inthemiddle of the wood, where the trees and brushwood had been cleared.[Illustration]Jemima alighted rather heavily, and began to waddle about in search ofaconvenient dry nesting-place. She rather fancied a tree-stump amongst sometall fox-gloves.But--seated upon the stump, she was startled to find an elegantlydressedgentleman reading a newspaper.He had black prick ears and sandy coloured whiskers.\"Quack?\" said Jemima Puddle-duck, with her head and her bonneton oneside--\"Quack?\"[Illustration]The gentleman raised his eyes above his newspaper and looked curiously atJemima--\"Madam, have you lost your way?\" saidhe. He had a long bushy tail whichhe was sitting upon, as the stump was somewhat damp.Jemima thought him mighty civil and handsome. She explained thatshe hadnot lost her way, but that she was trying to find a convenient drynesting-place.[Illustration]\"Ah! is that so? indeed!\" said the gentleman with sandywhiskers, lookingcuriously at Jemima. He folded up the newspaper, and put it in hiscoat-tail pocket.Jemima complained of the superfluous hen.\"Indeed! howinteresting! I wish I could meet with that fowl. I wouldteach it to mind its own business!\"[Illustration]\"But as to a nest--there is no difficulty: I have a sackful offeathers inmy wood-shed. No, my dear madam, you will be in nobody's way. You may sitthere as long as you like,\" said the bushy long-tailed gentleman.He ledthe way to a very retired, dismal-looking house amongst thefox-gloves.It was built of faggots and turf, and there were two broken pails, one ontop of another, byway of a chimney.[Illustration]\"This is my summer residence; you would not find my earth--my winterhouse--so convenient,\" said the hospitablegentleman.There was a tumble-down shed at the back of the house, made of oldsoap-boxes. The gentleman opened the door, and showed Jemimain.[Illustration]The shed was almost quite full of feathers--it was almost suffocating; butit was comfortable and very soft.Jemima Puddle-duck was rathersurprised to find such a vast quantity offeathers. But it was very comfortable; and she made a nest without anytrouble at all.[Illustration]When she came out, thesandy whiskered gentleman was sitting on a logreading the newspaper--at least he had it spread out, but he was lookingover the top of it.He was so polite, thathe seemed almost sorry to let Jemima go home forthe night. He promised to take great care of her nest until she came backagain next day.He said he loved eggsand ducklings; he should be proud to see a finenestful in his wood-shed.[Illustration]Jemima Puddle-duck came every afternoon; she laid nine eggs in thenest.They were greeny white and very large. The foxy gentleman admired themimmensely. He used to turn them over and count them when Jemima wasnotthere.At last Jemima told him that she intended to begin to sit next day--\"and Iwill bring a bag of corn with me, so that I need never leave my nest untiltheeggs are hatched. They might catch cold,\" said the conscientiousJemima.[Illustration]\"Madam, I beg you not to trouble yourself with a bag; I will provide oats.Butbefore you commence your tedious sitting, I intend to give you atreat. Let us have a dinner-party all to ourselves!\"May I ask you to bring up some herbs from thefarm-garden to make asavoury omelette? Sage and thyme, and mint and two onions, and someparsley. I will provide lard for the stuff--lard for the omelette,\"saidthe hospitable gentleman with sandy whiskers.[Illustration]Jemima Puddle-duck was a simpleton: not even the mention of sage andonions made hersuspicious.She went round the farm-garden, nibbling off snippets of all the differentsorts of herbs that are used for stuffing roast duck.[Illustration]And shewaddled into the kitchen, and got two onions out of a basket.The collie-dog Kep met her coming out, \"What are you doing with thoseonions? Where do you goevery afternoon by yourself, Jemima Puddle-duck?\"Jemima was rather in awe of the collie; she told him the whole story.The collie listened, with his wise head onone side; he grinned when shedescribed the polite gentleman with sandy whiskers.[Illustration]He asked several questions about the wood, and about the exactposition ofthe house and shed.Then he went out, and trotted down the village. He went to look for twofox-hound puppies who were out at walk with thebutcher.[Illustration]Jemima Puddle-duck went up the cart-road for the last time, on a sunnyafternoon. She was rather burdened with bunches of herbs and twoonions ina bag.She flew over the wood, and alighted opposite the house of the bushylong-tailed gentleman.[Illustration]He was sitting on a log; he sniffed the air,and kept glancing uneasilyround the wood. When Jemima alighted he quite jumped.\"Come into the house as soon as you have looked at your eggs. Give metheherbs for the omelette. Be sharp!\"He was rather abrupt. Jemima Puddle-duck had never heard him speak likethat.She felt surprised, anduncomfortable.[Illustration]While she was inside she heard pattering feet round the back of the shed.Some one with a black nose sniffed at the bottom of thedoor, and thenlocked it.Jemima became much alarmed.[Illustration]A moment afterwards there were most awful noises--barking, baying, growlsand howls,squealing and groans.And nothing more was ever seen of that foxy-whiskered gentleman.Presently Kep opened the door of the shed, and let out JemimaPuddle-duck.[Illustration]Unfortunately the puppies rushed in and gobbled up all the eggs before hecould stop them.He had a bite on his ear and both the puppieswere limping.[Illustration]Jemima Puddle-duck was escorted home in tears on account of those eggs.[Illustration]She laid some more in June, and she waspermitted to keep them herself:but only four of them hatched.Jemima Puddle-duck said that it was because of her nerves; but she hadalways been a badsitter.***END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF JEMIMA PUDDLE-DUCK********** This file should be named 14814.txt or 14814.zip*******This and all associated files of various formats will be found in:http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/1/4/8/1/14814Updated editions will replace the previousone--the old editionswill be renamed.Creating the works from public domain print editions means that noone owns a United States copyright in these works, sothe Foundation(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States withoutpermission and without paying copyright royalties.

On his left is the fireplace, with a fireburning. On hisright, against the opposite wall is a standing desk with an officestool. The door is in the wall behind him, half way between the tableand the desk.The table is not quite in the middle of the room: it isnearer to the hearthrug than to the desk. There is a chair at each endof it for persons having business withthe general. There is a telephoneon the table. Long silence.A VOICE OUTSIDE. Votes for Women!The General starts convulsively; snatches a revolver from adrawer,and listens in an agony of apprehension. Nothing happens. He puts therevolver back, ashamed; wipes his brow; and resumes his work. Heis startledafresh by the entry of an Orderly. This Orderly is anunsoldierly, slovenly, discontented young man.MITCHENER. Oh, it's only you. Well?THE ORDERLY. Anotherone, sir. Shes chained herself.MITCHENER. Chained herself? How? To what? Weve taken away the railingsand everything that a chain can be passed through.THEORDERLY. We forgot the doorscraper, sir. She laid down on the flagsand got the chain through before she started hollerin. Shes lying therenow; and she says thatyouve got the key of the padlock in a letter in abuff envelope, and that you will see her when you open it.MITCHENER. Shes mad. Have the scraper dug up and lether go home with ithanging round her neck.THE ORDERLY. Theres a buff envelope there, sir.MITCHENER. Youre all afraid of these women (picking the letter up).Itdoes seem to have a key in it. (He opens the letter, and takes out a keyand a note.) \"Dear Mitch\"--Well, I'm dashed!THE ORDERLY. Yes Sir.MITCHENER. Whatdo you mean by Yes Sir?THE ORDERLY. Well, you said you was dashed, Sir; and you did look ifyoull excuse my saying it, Sir--well, you looked it.MITCHENER (whohas been reading the letter, and is too astonished toattend to the Orderlys reply). This is a letter from the Prime Ministerasking me to release the woman with thiskey if she padlocks herself,and to have her shown up and see her at once.THE ORDERLY (tremulously). Dont do it, governor.MITCHENER (angrily). How oftenhave I ordered you not to address me asgovernor. Remember that you are a soldier and not a vulgar civilian.Remember also that when a man enters the army heleaves fear behind him.Heres the key. Unlock her and show her up.THE ORDERLY. Me unlock her! I dursent. Lord knows what she'd do to me.MITCHENER(pepperily, rising). Obey your orders instantly, Sir, and dontpresume to argue. Even if she kills you, it is your duty to die for yourcountry. Right about face. March.(The Orderly goes out, trembling.)THE VOICE OUTSIDE. Votes for Women! Votes for Women! Votes for Women!MITCHENER (mimicking her). Votes for Women!Votes for Women! Votes forWomen! (in his natural voice) Votes for children! Votes for babies!Votes for monkeys! (He posts himself on the hearthrug, and awaitstheenemy.)THE ORDERLY (outside). In you go. (He pushes a panting Suffraget intothe room.) The person sir. (He withdraws.)The Suffraget takes off her tailormade skirt and reveals a pair offashionable trousers.MITCHENER (horrified). Stop, madam. What are you doing? You must notundress in my presence. I protest.Not even your letter from the PrimeMinister--THE SUFFRAGET. My dear Mitchener: I AM the Prime Minister. (He tears offhis hat and cloak; throws them on thedesk; and confronts the General inthe ordinary costume of a Cabinet minister.)MITCHENER. Good heavens! Balsquith!BALSQUITH (throwing himself intoMitchener's chair). Yes: it is indeedBalsquith. It has come to this: that the only way that the PrimeMinister of England can get from Downing Street to the WarOffice isby assuming this disguise; shrieking \"VOTES for Women\"; and chaininghimself to your doorscraper. They were at the corner in force. Theycheered me.Bellachristina herself was there. She shook my hand and toldme to say I was a vegetarian, as the diet was better in Holloway forvegetarians.MITCHENER. Whydidnt you telephone?BALSQUITH. They tap the telephone. Every switchboard in London is intheir hands or in those of their young men.MITCHENER. Where onEarth did you get that dress?BALSQUITH. I stole it from a little Exhibition got up by my wife inDowning Street.MITCHENER. You dont mean to say its a Frenchdress?BALSQUITH. Great Heavens, no. My wife isnt allowed even to put on hergloves with French chalk. Everything labelled Made in Camberwell. Sheadvised meto come to you. And what I have to say must be said here toyou personally, in the most intimate confidence, with the most urgentpersuasion. Mitchener:Sandstone has resigned.MITCHENER (amazed). Old Red resigned!BALSQUITH. Resigned.MITCHENER. But how? Why? Oh, impossible! the proclamation of martiallawlast Tuesday made Sandstone virtually Dictator in the metropolis, and toresign now is flat desertion.BALSQUITH. Yes, yes, my dear Mitchener; I know all thatas well as youdo: I argued with him until I was black in the face and he so redabout the neck that if I had gone on he would have burst. He is furiousbecause wehave abandoned his plan.MITCHENER. But you accepted it unconditionally.BALSQUITH. Yes, before we knew what it was. It was unworkable, youknow.MITCHENER. I dont know. Why is it unworkable?BALSQUITH. I mean the part about drawing a cordon round Westminster at adistance of two miles; andturning all women out of it.MITCHENER. A masterpiece of strategy. Let me explain. The Suffragets area very small body; but they are numerous enough to betroublesome--evendangerous--when they are all concentrated in one place--say inParliament Square. But by making a two-mile radius and pushing thembeyondit, you scatter their attack over a circular line twelve mileslong. A superb piece of tactics. Just what Wellington would have done.BALSQUITH. But the women wontgo.MITCHENER. Nonsense: they must go.BALSQUITH. They wont.MITCHENER. What does Sandstone say?BALSQUITH. He says: Shoot them down.MITCHENER.Of course.BALSQUITH. Youre not serious?MITCHENER. Im perfectly serious.BALSQUITH. But you cant shoot them down! Women, you know!MITCHENER(straddling confidently). Yes you can. Strange as it may seemto you as a civilian, Balsquith, if you point a rifle at a woman andfire it, she will drop exactly as aman drops.BALSQUITH. But suppose your own daughters--Helen and Georgina.MITCHENER. My daughters would not dream of disobeying the proclamation.(Asan after thought.) At least Helen wouldnt.BALSQUITH. But Georgina?MITCHENER. Georgina would if she knew shed be shot if she didnt. Thatshow the thing wouldwork. Military methods are really the most mercifulin the end. You keep sending these misguided women to Holloway andkilling them slowly and inhumanely byruining their health; and it doesno good: they go on worse than ever. Shoot a few, promptly and humanely;and there will be an end at once of all resistance andof all thesuffering that resistance entails.BALSQUITH. But public opinion would never stand it.MITCHENER (walking about and laying down the law). Theres nosuch thingas public opinion.BALSQUITH. No such thing as public opinion!!MITCHENER. Absolutely no such thing as public opinion. There are certainpersons whoentertain certain opinions. Well, shoot them down. When youhave shot them down, there are no longer any persons entertaining thoseopinions alive:consequently there is no longer any more of the publicopinion you are so much afraid of. Grasp that fact, my dear Balsquith;and you have grasped the secret ofgovernment. Public opinion is mind.Mind is inseparable from matter. Shoot down the matter and you kill themind.BALSQUITH. But hang it all--MITCHENER(intolerantly). No I wont hang it all. It's no use comingto me and talking about public opinion. You have put yourself into thehands of the army; and you arecommitted to military methods. And thebasis of all military methods is that when people wont do what they aretold to do, you shoot them down.BALSQUITH. Oh,yes; it's all jolly fine for you and Old Red. You dontdepend on votes for your places. What do you suppose will happen at thenext election?MITCHENER. Have nonext election. Bring in a Bill at once repealingall the reform Acts and vesting the Government in a properly trainedmagistracy responsible only to a Council of War.It answers perfectly inIndia. If anyone objects, shoot him down.BALSQUITH. But none of the members of my party would be on the Councilof War. Neither shouldI. Do you expect us to vote for making ourselvesnobodies?MITCHENER. You'll have to, sooner or later, or the Socialists will makenobodies of the lot of you bycollaring every penny you possess. Do yousuppose this damned democracy can be allowed to go on now that the mobis beginning to take it seriously and using itspower to lay hands onproperty? Parliament must abolish itself. The Irish parliament voted forits own extinction. The English parliament will do the same if thesamemeans are taken to persuade it.BALSQUITH. That would cost a lot of money.MITCHENER. Not money necessarily. Bribe them with titles.BALSQUITH. Do youthink we dare?MITCHENER (scornfully). Dare! Dare! What is life but daring, man? \"Todare, to dare, and again to dare\"--WOMAN'S VOICE OUTSIDE. Votes forWomen!Mitchener, revolver in hand, rushes to the door and locks it. Balsquithhides under the table.A shot is heard.BALSQUITH (emerging in the greatest alarm).Good heavens, you haventgiven orders to fire on them have you?MITCHENER. No; but its a sentinel's duty to fire on anyone who persistsin attempting to passwithout giving the word.BALSQUITH (wiping his brow). This military business is really awful.MITCHENER. Be calm, Balsquith. These things must happen; theysavebloodshed in the long run, believe me. Ive seen plenty of it; and Iknow.BALSQUITH. I havent; and I dont know. I wish those guns didnt make sucha devil ofa noise. We must adopt Maxim's Silencer for the army riflesif we are going to shoot women. I really couldnt stand hearing it.Some one outside tries to open thedoor and then knocks.MITCHENER and BALSQUITH. Whats that?MITCHENER. Whos there?THE ORDERLY. It's only me, governor. Its all right.MITCHENER(unlocking the door and admitting the Orderly, who comesbetween them). What was it?THE ORDERLY. Suffraget, Sir.BALSQUITH. Did the sentry shoot her?THEORDERLY. No, Sir: she shot the sentry.BALSQUITH (relieved). Oh: is that all?MITCHENER (most indignantly). All? A civilian shoots down one of HisMajesty's"}

HENRIETTE, a servant.PROLOGUE(At rise, is seen the entrance to atent, out of which steps ananimal-tamer, with long, black curls, dressed in a white cravat, avermilion dress-coat, white trowsers and white top-boots. He carriesinhis left hand a dog-whip and in his right a loaded revolver, andenters to the sound of cymbals and kettle-drums.)  Walk in! Walk in to the menagery,  Proudgentlemen and ladies lively and merry!  With avid lust or cold disgust, the very  Beast without Soul bound and made secondary  To human genius, to stay andsee!  Walk in, the show'll begin!--As customary,  One child to each two persons comes in free.  Here battle man and brute in narrow cages  Where one in haughtdisdain his long whip lashes  And one, with growls as when the thunder rages,  Against the man's throat murderously dashes,--  Where now the crafty conquers,now the strong,  Now man, now beast, lies cowed the floor along;  The animal rears,--the human on all fours!  One ice-cold look of dominance--  The beastsubmissive bows before that glance,  And the proud heel upon his neck adores.  Bad are the times! Ladies and gentlemen  Who once before my cage in throngingcrescents  Crowded, now honor operas, and then  Ibsen, with their so highly valued presence.  My boarders here are so in want of fodder  That they reciprocallydevour each other.  How well off at the theater is a player,  Sure of the meat upon his ribs, albeit  His frightful hunger may tear him and he it  And colleagues'inner cupboards be quite bare!--  Greatness in art we struggle to inherit,  Although the salary never match the merit.  What see you, whether in light or sombreplays?  =House-animals=, whose morals all must praise,  Who wreak pale spites in vegetarian ways,  And revel in an easy cry or fret,  Just like thoseothers--down in the parquet.  This hero has a head by one dram swirled;  That is in doubt whether his love be right;  A third you hear despairing of theworld,--  Full five acts long you hear him wail his plight,  And no man ends him with a merciful sleight!  But the =real= beast, the =beautiful=, =wild=beast,  Your eyes on =that=, _I_, ladies, only feast!  You see the Tiger, that habitually  Devours whatever falls before his bound;  The Bear, so ravenousoriginally,  Who at a late night-meal sinks dead to ground;  You see the Monkey, little and amusing,  From sheer ennui his petty powers abusing,--  He has sometalent, of all greatness scant,  So, impudently, coquettes with his own want!  Upon my soul, within my tent's a mammal,  See, right behind the curtain, here,--aCamel!  And all my creatures fawn about my feet  When my revolver cracks--                  (He shoots into the audience.)                                     Behold!  Brutestremble all around me. I am cold:  The =man= stays cold,--you, with respect, to greet.  Walk in!--You hardly trust yourselves in here?--  Then very well, judgefor yourselves! Each sphere  Has sent its crawling creatures to your telling:  Chameleons and serpents, crocodiles,  Dragons, and salamanderschasm-dwelling,--  I know, of course, you're full of quiet smiles  And don't believe a syllable I say.--       (He lifts the entrance-flap and calls into the tent.)  Hi,Charlie!--bring our =Serpent= just this way!  (A stage-hand with a big paunch carries out the actress of =Lulu= in  her Pierrot costume, and sets her down beforethe animal-tamer.)  She was created to incite to sin,  To lure, seduce, poison--yea, murder, in  A manner no man knows.--My prettybeast,                      (Tickling Lulu's chin.)  Only be =unaffected=, and not pieced  Out with distorted, artificial folly,  Even if the critics praise thee for 't lesswholly.  Thou hast no right to spoil the shape most fitting,  Most =true=, of =woman=, with meows and spitting!  And mind, all foolery and making faces  The=childish simpleness= of =Vice= disgraces.  Thou shouldst--to-day I speak emphatically--  Speak =naturally= and not unnaturally,  For the first principle inevery art,  Since earliest times, was =True= and =Plain=, not =Smart=!                       (To the public.)  There's nothing special now to see in her,  But wait andwatch what later will occur!  Her strength about the Tiger she coils stricter:  He roars and groans!--Who'll be the final victor?--  Hop, Charlie, march! Carry her toher place,  (The stage-hand carries Lulu in his arms; the animal-tamer                    pats her on the hips.)  Sweet innocence--my dearest treasure-case!      (Thestage-hand carries Lulu back into the tent.)  And now I'll tell the best thing in the day:  My poll between the teeth of a beast of prey!  Walk in! Tho to be sure theshow's not new,  Yet everyone takes pleasure in its view!  Wrench open this wild animal's jaws I dare,  And he to bite dares not! My pate's so =fair=,  So =wild=,so =gaily decked=, it wins respect!  I offer it him with confidence unchecked.  One =joke=, and my two temples crack!--but, lo,  The lightning of my eyes I willforego,  Staking my =life= against a =joke=! and throw  My whip, my weapons, down. I am in my skin!  I yield me to this beast!--His name do ye know?  --Thehonored public! that has just walked in!  (The animal-tamer steps back into the tent, accompanied                by cymbals and kettledrums.)ACT I_A roomy studio.Entrance door at the rear, left. Another door at lowerleft to the bed-room. At centre, a platform for the model, with aSpanish screen behind it and a Smyrna rug infront. Two easels at lowerright. On the upper one is the picture of a young girl's head andshoulders. Against the other leans a reversed canvas. Belowthese,toward centre, an ottoman, with a tiger-skin on it. Two chairs alongthe left wall. In the back-ground, right, a step-ladder.__Schön sits on the foot of theottoman, inspecting critically thepicture on the further easel. Schwarz stands behind the ottoman, hispalette and brushes in his hands._SCHÃ\u0000N. Do you know,I'm getting acquainted with a brand new side of thelady.SCHWARZ. I have never painted anyone whose expression changed socontinuously. I could hardly keep asingle feature the same two daysrunning.SCHÃ\u0000N. (Pointing to the picture and observing him.) Do you find that init?SCHWARZ. I have done everythingimaginable to call forth some sort ofquiet in her mood by my conversation during the sittings.SCHÃ\u0000N. Then I understand the difference. (Schwarz dips his brushin theoil and draws it over the features of the face.) Do you think thatmakes it look more like her?SCHWARZ. We can only work with art as scientifically aspossible.SCHÃ\u0000N. Tell me--SCHWARZ. (Stepping back.) The color had sunk in pretty well, too.SCHÃ\u0000N. (Looking at him.) Have you ever loved a woman in yourlife?SCHWARZ. (Goes to the easel, puts a color on it, and steps back on theother side.) The dress isn't made to stand out enough yet. We don't seethe living bodyunder it.SCHÃ\u0000N. I make no doubt that the workmanship is good.SCHWARZ. If you'll step this way....SCHÃ\u0000N. (Rising.) You must have told her regularghost-stories.SCHWARZ. As far back as you can.SCHÃ\u0000N. (Stepping back, knocks down the canvas that was leaning againstthe lower easel.) Excuseme--SCHWARZ. (Picking it up.) That's all right.SCHÃ\u0000N. (Surprised.) What is that?SCHWARZ. Do you know her?SCHÃ\u0000N. No. (Schwarz sets the picture on theeasel. It is of a ladydressed as Pierrot with a long shepherd's crook in her hand.)SCHWARZ. A costume-picture.SCHÃ\u0000N. But, really, you've succeeded with=her=.SCHWARZ. You know her?SCHÃ\u0000N. No. And in that costume--?SCHWARZ. It isn't nearly finished yet. (Schön nods.) What would youhave? While she isposing for me I have the pleasure of entertainingher husband.SCHÃ\u0000N. What?SCHWARZ. We talk about art, of course,--to complete my good fortune!SCHÃ\u0000N.But how did you make such a charming acquaintance?SCHWARZ. As they're generally made. An ancient, tottering little mandrops in on me here to know if I canpaint his wife. Why, of course,were she as wrinkled as Mother Earth! Next day at ten prompt the doorsfly open, and the fat-belly drives this little beauty in beforehim. Ican feel even now how my knees shook. Then comes a sap-green lackey,stiff as a ramrod, with a package under his arm. Where is thedressing-room?Imagine my plight. I open the door there (pointingleft). Just luck that everything was in order. The sweet thing vanishesinto it, and the old fellow posts himselfoutside as a bastion. Twominutes later out she steps in this Pierrot. (Shaking his head.) Inever saw anything like it. (He goes left and stares in atthebedroom.)SCHÃ\u0000N. (Who has followed him with his eyes.) And the fat-belly standsguard?SCHWARZ. (Turning round.) The whole body in harmony withthatimpossible costume as if it had come into the world in it! Her way ofburying her elbows in her pockets, of lifting her little feet from therug,--the blood often"}

It is a clinicalstudy of how the thing actually occurs among quite ordinarypeople,innocent of all unconventional views concerning it. The enormousmajority of cases in real life are those of people in that position.Those who deliberatelyand conscientiously profess what are oddlycalled advanced views by those others who believe them to beretrograde, are often, and indeed mostly, the last peoplein the worldto engage in unconventional adventures of any kind, not only becausethey have neither time nor disposition for them, but because thefriction set upbetween the individual and the community by theexpression of unusual views of any sort is quite enough hindrance tothe heretic without being complicated bypersonal scandals. Thus thetheoretic libertine is usually a person of blameless family life,whilst the practical libertine is mercilessly severe on all otherlibertines,and excessively conventional in professions of socialprinciple.What is more, these professions are not hypocritical: they are for themost part quite sincere. Thecommon libertine, like the drunkard,succumbs to a temptation which he does not defend, and against which hewarns others with an earnestness proportionate tothe intensity of hisown remorse. He (or she) may be a liar and a humbug, pretending to bebetter than the detected libertines, and clamoring for theircondignpunishment; but this is mere self-defence. No reasonable person expectsthe burglar to confess his pursuits, or to refrain from joining in thecry of StopThief when the police get on the track of another burglar.If society chooses to penalize candor, it has itself to thank if itsattack is countered by falsehood. Theclamorous virtue of the libertineis therefore no more hypocritical than the plea of Not Guilty which isallowed to every criminal. But one result is that the theoristswhowrite most sincerely and favorably about polygamy know least about it;and the practitioners who know most about it keep their knowledge veryjealously tothemselves. Which is hardly fair to the practice.INACCESSIBILITY OF THE FACTS.Also it is impossible to estimate its prevalence. A practice to whichnobodyconfesses may be both universal and unsuspected, just as avirtue which everybody is expected, under heavy penalties, to claim,may have no existence. It isoften assumed--indeed it is the officialassumption of the Churches and the divorce courts that a gentleman anda lady cannot be alone together innocently. Andthat is manifestblazing nonsense, though many women have been stoned to death in theeast, and divorced in the west, on the strength of it. On the otherhand,the innocent and conventional people who regard the gallantadventures as crimes of so horrible a nature that only the mostdepraved and desperate charactersengage in them or would listen toadvances in that direction without raising an alarm with the noisiestindignation, are clearly examples of the fact that mostsections ofsociety do not know how the other sections live. Industry is the mosteffective check on gallantry. Women may, as Napoleon said, be theoccupation ofthe idle man just as men are the preoccupation of theidle woman; but the mass of mankind is too busy and too poor for thelong and expensive sieges which theprofessed libertine lays to virtue.Still, wherever there is idleness or even a reasonable supply ofelegant leisure there is a good deal of coquetry and philandering.Itis so much pleasanter to dance on the edge of a precipice than to goover it that leisured society is full of people who spend a great partof their lives in flirtation,and conceal nothing but the humiliatingsecret that they have never gone any further. For there is no pleasingpeople in the matter of reputation in thisdepartment: every insult isa flattery; every testimonial is a disparagement: Joseph is despisedand promoted, Potiphar's wife admired and condemned: in short,you arenever on solid ground until you get away from the subject altogether.There is a continual and irreconcilable conflict between the naturaland conventionalsides of the case, between spontaneous human relationsbetween independent men and women on the one hand and the propertyrelation between husband andwife on the other, not to mention theconfusion under the common name of love of a generous naturalattraction and interest with the murderous jealousy thatfastens on andclings to its mate (especially a hated mate) as a tiger fastens on acarcase. And the confusion is natural; for these extremes are extremesof thesame passion; and most cases lie somewhere on the scale betweenthem, and are so complicated by ordinary likes and dislikes, byincidental wounds to vanity orgratifications of it, and by classfeeling, that A will be jealous of B and not of C, and will tolerateinfidelities on the part of D whilst being furiously angry whentheyare committed by E.THE CONVENTION OF JEALOUSYThat jealousy is independent of sex is shown by its intensity inchildren, and by the fact that very jealouspeople are jealous ofeverybody without regard to relationship or sex, and cannot bear tohear the person they \"love\" speak favorably of anyone underanycircumstances (many women, for instance, are much more jealous of theirhusbands' mothers and sisters than of unrelated women whom they suspecthim offancying); but it is seldom possible to disentangle the twopassions in practice. Besides, jealousy is an inculcated passion,forced by society on people in whom itwould not occur spontaneously.In Brieux's Bourgeois aux Champs, the benevolent hero finds himselfdetested by the neighboring peasants and farmers, notbecause hepreserves game, and sets mantraps for poachers, and defends his legalrights over his land to the extremest point of unsocial savagery, butbecause,being an amiable and public-spirited person, he refuses to doall this, and thereby offends and disparages the sense of property inhis neighbors. The same thing istrue of matrimonial jealousy; the manwho does not at least pretend to feel it and behave as badly as if hereally felt it is despised and insulted; and many a manhas shot orstabbed a friend or been shot or stabbed by him in a duel, or disgracedhimself and ruined his own wife in a divorce scandal, against hisconscience,against his instinct, and to the destruction of his home,solely because Society conspired to drive him to keep its own lowermorality in countenance in thismiserable and undignified manner.Morality is confused in such matters. In an elegant plutocracy, ajealous husband is regarded as a boor. Among the tradesmenwho supplythat plutocracy with its meals, a husband who is not jealous, andrefrains from assailing his rival with his fists, is regarded as aridiculous, contemptibleand cowardly cuckold. And the laboring classis divided into the respectable section which takes the tradesman'sview, and the disreputable section which enjoysthe license of theplutocracy without its money: creeping below the law as its exemplarsprance above it; cutting down all expenses of respectability andevendecency; and frankly accepting squalor and disrepute as the price ofanarchic self-indulgence. The conflict between Malvolio and Sir Toby,between themarquis and the bourgeois, the cavalier and the puritan,the ascetic and the voluptuary, goes on continually, and goes on notonly between class and class andindividual and individual, but in theselfsame breast in a series of reactions and revulsions in which theirresistible becomes the unbearable, and the unbearabletheirresistible, until none of us can say what our characters really arein this respect.THE MISSING DATA OF A SCIENTIFIC NATURAL HISTORY OF MARRIAGE.Ofone thing I am persuaded: we shall never attain to a reasonablehealthy public opinion on sex questions until we offer, as the data forthat opinion, our actualconduct and our real thoughts instead of amoral fiction which we agree to call virtuous conduct, and which wethen--and here comes in the mischief--pretend isour conduct and ourthoughts. If the result were that we all believed one another to bebetter than we really are, there would be something to be said for it;but theactual result appears to be a monstrous exaggeration of thepower and continuity of sexual passion. The whole world shares the fateof Lucrezia Borgia, who,though she seems on investigation to have beenquite a suitable wife for a modern British Bishop, has been invested bythe popular historical imagination with allthe extravagances of aMessalina or a Cenci. Writers of belles lettres who are rash enough toadmit that their whole life is not one constant preoccupationwithadored members of the opposite sex, and who even countenance LaRochefoucauld's remark that very few people would ever imaginethemselves in love ifthey had never read anything about it, aregravely declared to be abnormal or physically defective by critics ofcrushing unadventurousness and domestication.French authors of saintlytemperament are forced to include in their retinue countesses of ardentcomplexion with whom they are supposed to live in sin.Sentimentalcontroversies on the subject are endless; but they are useless, becausenobody tells the truth. Rousseau did it by an extraordinary effort,aided by asuperhuman faculty for human natural history, but the resultwas curiously disconcerting because, though the facts were soconventionally shocking that peoplefelt that they ought to matter agreat deal, they actually mattered very little. And even at thateverybody pretends not to believe him.ARTIFICIALRETRIBUTION.The worst of that is that busybodies with perhaps rather more than anormal taste for mischief are continually trying to make negligiblethingsmatter as much in fact as they do in convention by deliberatelyinflicting injuries--sometimes atrocious injuries--on the partiesconcerned. Few people have anyknowledge of the savage punishments thatare legally inflicted for aberrations and absurdities to which nosanely instructed community would call any attention.We create anartificial morality, and consequently an artificial conscience, bymanufacturing disastrous consequences for events which, left tothemselves, would dovery little harm (sometimes not any) and beforgotten in a few days.But the artificial morality is not therefore to be condemned offhand.In many cases it may savemischief instead of making it: for example,though the hanging of a murderer is the duplication of a murder, yet itmay be less murderous than leaving the matter"}

Off in the very far distance, one can make out the sound of sirens. SUDDENLY, a single match ignites andinvades the darkness. It quivers for a moment. A dimly lit hand brings the rest of the pack to the match. A plume of yellow-white flame flaresand illuminates the battered face of DEAN KEATON, age forty. His salty-gray hair is wet and matted. His face drips with water or sweat. A large cut runsthe length of his face from the corner of his eye to his chin. It bleeds freely. An un-lit cigarette hangs in the corner of his mouth. In the half-light we canmake out that he is on the deck of a large boat. A yacht, perhaps, or a small freighter. He sits with his back against the front bulkhead of the wheelhouse. His legs are twisted at odd, almost impossible angles. He looks down. A thin trail of liquid runs past his feet and off into the darkness.

ON a pair of black Dexter penny loafers diligently
pedaling an old Schwinn mountain bike. ADJUST ANGLE now
to meet thebicyclist...

He's African-American. Anywhere from 33 to 40. Wears
wire-rim glasses, a fresh white oxford shirt, creased
slacks and asolid green tie. An unobtrusive figure, at
once familiar and yet undiscerning. The type you'd pass
on a sidewalk and never even notice. He'sTREVOR GARFIELD.

ADJUST ANGLE FURTHER now to reveal the upper promenade
bike path and a dramatic view of Lower Manhattanbehind
him. Morning sun glimmers off the Trade Center towers.

Trevor's shadow skitters along the wooden path, 160 ft.
above theEast River.

A fat briefcase, strapped to the back of his bike, rocks
back and forth as he pumps the pedals.

FROM ABOVE now asweeping view of Trevor, alone on the
bike path, a speck, suspended above a sea of rush hour
traffic on the bridge below.

Realism. Not a pervasive element                in the modern Americancinematic                vision.    FADE IN:    INT.

Her shapely, sandalled foot tappedimpatiently upon the jewel-strewn walk that wound beneath thestatelysorapus trees across the scarlet sward of the royal gardensof Thuvan Dihn, Jeddak of Ptarth, as a dark-haired, red-skinnedwarrior bent low toward her,whispering heated words close to herear.\"Ah, Thuvia of Ptarth,\" he cried, \"you are cold even before thefiery blasts of my consuming love!  No harder than yourheart, norcolder is the hard, cold ersite of this thrice happy bench whichsupports your divine and fadeless form!  Tell me, O Thuvia ofPtarth, that I may stillhope--that though you do not love me now,yet some day, some day, my princess, I--\"The girl sprang to her feet with an exclamation of surpriseanddispleasure.  Her queenly head was poised haughtily upon her smoothred shoulders.  Her dark eyes looked angrily into those of the man.\"You forget yourself,and the customs of Barsoom, Astok,\" she said.\"I have given you no right thus to address the daughter of ThuvanDihn, nor have you won such a right.\"The manreached suddenly forth and grasped her by the arm.\"You shall be my princess!\" he cried.  \"By the breast of Issus, thoushalt, nor shall any other come betweenAstok, Prince of Dusar,and his heart's desire.  Tell me that there is another, and I shallcut out his foul heart and fling it to the wild calots of thedeadsea-bottoms!\"At touch of the man's hand upon her flesh the girl went pallidbeneath her coppery skin, for the persons of the royal women ofthe courts ofMars are held but little less than sacred.  The actof Astok, Prince of Dusar, was profanation.  There was no terrorin the eyes of Thuvia of Ptarth--only horror forthe thing the manhad done and for its possible consequences.\"Release me.\"  Her voice was level--frigid.The man muttered incoherently and drew her roughlytoward him.\"Release me!\" she repeated sharply, \"or I call the guard, and thePrince of Dusar knows what that will mean.\"Quickly he threw his right arm about hershoulders and strove todraw her face to his lips.  With a little cry she struck him fullin the mouth with the massive bracelets that circled her free arm.\"Calot!\" sheexclaimed, and then:  \"The guard!  The guard!  Hastenin protection of the Princess of Ptarth!\"In answer to her call a dozen guardsmen came racing acrossthescarlet sward, their gleaming long-swords naked in the sun, themetal of their accoutrements clanking against that of their leathernharness, and in theirthroats hoarse shouts of rage at the sightwhich met their eyes.But before they had passed half across the royal garden to whereAstok of Dusar still held thestruggling girl in his grasp, anotherfigure sprang from a cluster of dense foliage that half hid a goldenfountain close at hand.  A tall, straight youth he was, withblackhair and keen grey eyes; broad of shoulder and narrow of hip; aclean-limbed fighting man.  His skin was but faintly tinged withthe copper colour that marksthe red men of Mars from the otherraces of the dying planet--he was like them, and yet there was asubtle difference greater even than that which lay in hislighterskin and his grey eyes.There was a difference, too, in his movements.  He came on in greatleaps that carried him so swiftly over the ground that thespeedof the guardsmen was as nothing by comparison.Astok still clutched Thuvia's wrist as the young warrior confrontedhim.  The new-comer wasted no timeand he spoke but a single word.\"Calot!\" he snapped, and then his clenched fist landed beneath theother's chin, lifting him high into the air and depositing him inacrumpled heap within the centre of the pimalia bush beside theersite bench.Her champion turned toward the girl.  \"Kaor, Thuvia of Ptarth!\" hecried.  \"It seemsthat fate timed my visit well.\"\"Kaor, Carthoris of Helium!\" the princess returned the young man'sgreeting, \"and what less could one expect of the son of suchasire?\"He bowed his acknowledgment of the compliment to his father, JohnCarter, Warlord of Mars.  And then the guardsmen, panting fromtheir charge, came upjust as the Prince of Dusar, bleeding at themouth, and with drawn sword, crawled from the entanglement of thepimalia.Astok would have leaped to mortal combatwith the son of DejahThoris, but the guardsmen pressed about him, preventing, though itwas clearly evident that naught would have better pleased CarthorisofHelium.\"But say the word, Thuvia of Ptarth,\" he begged, \"and naught willgive me greater pleasure than meting to this fellow the punishmenthe has earned.\"\"Itcannot be, Carthoris,\" she replied.  \"Even though he has forfeitedall claim upon my consideration, yet is he the guest of the jeddak,my father, and to him alonemay he account for the unpardonableact he has committed.\"\"As you say, Thuvia,\" replied the Heliumite.  \"But afterward heshall account to Carthoris, Prince ofHelium, for this affront tothe daughter of my father's friend.\" As he spoke, though, thereburned in his eyes a fire that proclaimed a nearer, dearer causefor hischampionship of this glorious daughter of Barsoom.The maid's cheek darkened beneath the satin of her transparent skin,and the eyes of Astok, Prince of Dusar,darkened, too, as he readthat which passed unspoken between the two in the royal gardens ofthe jeddak.\"And thou to me,\" he snapped at Carthoris, answeringthe youngman's challenge.The guard still surrounded Astok.  It was a difficult position forthe young officer who commanded it.  His prisoner was the son ofamighty jeddak; he was the guest of Thuvan Dihn--until but now anhonoured guest upon whom every royal dignity had been showered.To arrest him forciblycould mean naught else than war, and yet hehad done that which in the eyes of the Ptarth warrior merited death.The young man hesitated.  He looked toward hisprincess.  She, too,guessed all that hung upon the action of the coming moment.  Formany years Dusar and Ptarth had been at peace with each other.Their greatmerchant ships plied back and forth between the largercities of the two nations.  Even now, far above the gold-shotscarlet dome of the jeddak's palace, she couldsee the huge bulkof a giant freighter taking its majestic way through the thinBarsoomian air toward the west and Dusar.By a word she might plunge these twomighty nations into a bloodyconflict that would drain them of their bravest blood and theirincalculable riches, leaving them all helpless against the inroadsof theirenvious and less powerful neighbors, and at last a preyto the savage green hordes of the dead sea-bottoms.No sense of fear influenced her decision, for fear isseldom knownto the children of Mars.  It was rather a sense of the responsibilitythat she, the daughter of their jeddak, felt for the welfare ofher father's people.\"Icalled you, Padwar,\" she said to the lieutenant of the guard,\"to protect the person of your princess, and to keep the peacethat must not be violated within theroyal gardens of the jeddak.That is all.  You will escort me to the palace, and the Prince ofHelium will accompany me.\"Without another glance in the direction ofAstok she turned, andtaking Carthoris' proffered hand, moved slowly toward the massivemarble pile that housed the ruler of Ptarth and his glitteringcourt.  Oneither side marched a file of guardsmen.  Thus Thuviaof Ptarth found a way out of a dilemma, escaping the necessityof placing her father's royal guest underforcible restraint, andat the same time separating the two princes, who otherwise wouldhave been at each other's throat the moment she and the guardhaddeparted.Beside the pimalia stood Astok, his dark eyes narrowed to mere slitsof hate beneath his lowering brows as he watched the retreatingforms of thewoman who had aroused the fiercest passions of hisnature and the man whom he now believed to be the one who stoodbetween his love and itsconsummation.As they disappeared within the structure Astok shrugged his shoulders,and with a murmured oath crossed the gardens toward another wingof thebuilding where he and his retinue were housed.That night he took formal leave of Thuvan Dihn, and though nomention was made of the happening within thegarden, it was plainto see through the cold mask of the jeddak's courtesy that onlythe customs of royal hospitality restrained him from voicing thecontempt hefelt for the Prince of Dusar.Carthoris was not present at the leave-taking, nor was Thuvia.  Theceremony was as stiff and formal as court etiquette could makeit,and when the last of the Dusarians clambered over the rail of thebattleship that had brought them upon this fateful visit to thecourt of Ptarth, and the mightyengine of destruction had risenslowly from the ways of the landing-stage, a note of relief wasapparent in the voice of Thuvan Dihn as he turned to one ofhisofficers with a word of comment upon a subject foreign to thatwhich had been uppermost in the minds of all for hours.But, after all, was it so foreign?\"InformPrince Sovan,\" he directed, \"that it is our wish that thefleet which departed for Kaol this morning be recalled to cruiseto the west of Ptarth.\"As the warship,bearing Astok back to the court of his father,turned toward the west, Thuvia of Ptarth, sitting upon the samebench where the Prince of Dusar had affronted her,watched thetwinkling lights of the craft growing smaller in the distance.Beside her, in the brilliant light of the nearer moon, sat Carthoris.His eyes were not uponthe dim bulk of the battleship, but on theprofile of the girl's upturned face.\"Thuvia,\" he whispered.The girl turned her eyes toward his.  His hand stole out tofindhers, but she drew her own gently away.\"Thuvia of Ptarth, I love you!\" cried the young warrior.  \"Tell methat it does not offend.\"She shook her headsadly.  \"The love of Carthoris of Helium,\" shesaid simply, \"could be naught but an honour to any woman; but youmust not speak, my friend, of bestowing uponme that which I maynot reciprocate.\"The young man got slowly to his feet.  His eyes were wide inastonishment.  It never had occurred to the Prince of HeliumthatThuvia of Ptarth might love another.\"But at Kadabra!\" he exclaimed.  \"And later here at your father'scourt, what did you do, Thuvia of Ptarth, that might have"}

He stood inthe centre of the fragrantgarden and watched the glory of color suffusing the Surrey hills towardsthe west.  With a sigh he turned away and walked to thehouse.\"Whereâ\u0000\u0000s Diana?\" he called, as he came from the garden through thecasement-window of the library.\"Dianaâ\u0000\u0000why, sheâ\u0000\u0000s in bed an hour ago, Ishould hope,\" replied his aunt,Lady Elizabeth Kerhill. \"She and Mabel went with Bates to see thedecorations and then said good-night.  Surely you didnâ\u0000\u0000texpect me toallow the children to stay up for the ball?\"Mabel was her daughter; Diana Marjoribanks was a young girl of thirteen,who had come to visit her.\"Poorimps! they were so excited all day, and followed me about thegun-room where I was doing some packing.  They wanted me to coax you toallow them to see theball, and the tenantry welcome Henry to-night.\"Lady Kerhill elevated her eyebrows in questioning amazement at Jim, asshe nervously twisted the lace of hergown, and with an impatientgesture motioned the subject aside.  She was a tall, angular woman, witha profile like the head on a bronze coin; there was asuggestion of theeagle in her personality, and by her friends she was likened to thefamous Sarah Churchill, the first Duchess of Marlborough.To-night her faceshowed that anxious thoughts were crowding in on heras she apprehensively watched the big, carved oak door leading into thehall. Jim knew his auntâ\u0000\u0000sfirmness of character, and as silence followedhis words, he feared further discussion was useless; but the wistfulfaces of the children at tea-time in the nursery,as they coaxed him toplead for them to see the fun, made him venture a final appeal.\"You know, Aunt, Sir Charles brought Di over to stay with Mabel so thatshemight see the festivities and incidentally say good-bye to me, soyou might turn angel and let Diana dance once with me at the verybeginning of the ball.  Ishaâ\u0000\u0000nâ\u0000\u0000t see my little playfellow for ages, youknow.\"A sound from outside held Lady Elizabethâ\u0000\u0000s attention more intently thanJimâ\u0000\u0000s pleadingwords.  He crossed to her in the window-enclosure andlaid his hand caressingly on her shoulder.\"The Colonel wired me that we were leaving Paddington at nineto-morrowmorning, and India is a long way off, Auntie mine.\"\"Nonsense,\" answered Lady Elizabeth, as she rose from the deepwindow-seat.  \"You are almosttwenty, and Diana is only a babeâ\u0000\u0000isnâ\u0000\u0000tshe, Henry?\"  She glanced up and appealed to the young man who rathernoisily entered the library.\"Whoâ\u0000\u0000s ababe?  Diana?  Why, mater, sheâ\u0000\u0000s a little witch, and I promisedher Iâ\u0000\u0000d let her see the illuminations at ten and then old Burrow shouldcarry her off tobed.\"Henry Wynnegate, seventh Earl of Kerhill, dropped into a great settleclose to the fire.  The ball was for the tenantry in celebration of hisreturn, after fiveyearsâ\u0000\u0000 absence with his regiment.  He was a tall,heavy-set young soldier of seven-and-twenty, with the famous Wynnegatebeauty, but it was marred by theshifting expression of his ratherdeep-set eyes and the heavy lines about his mouth.  Self was his god: itshowed in every expression of his face and in every actionof his life.Jim Wynnegate, his cousin, the son of the younger brother of the lateEarl, Henryâ\u0000\u0000s father, turned from the window as Henry entered.  In theyoungboyâ\u0000\u0000s faceâ\u0000\u0000for he seemed younger than his yearsâ\u0000\u0000one could easilytrace the family resemblance; but Jim, with his great, clean spiritshining in hishonest gray eyes, invited confidence and won it, from amongrel dog to a superior officer.  He was taller than Henry, and asslim as a young sapling.  The delicate,sensitive mouth was balanced bya strong chin.In the oak-lined room, grown almost black with age, the candle-lightsflickering in the heavy brass sconces, stoodthese three lastdescendants of a great family. The Earlâ\u0000\u0000s brother, Dick Wynnegate, hadrun away with the daughter of an impecunious colonel.  A fewyearslater, while on service in India, he was shot, and the young wife livedonly to bring the tiny boy Jim home and to leave him with herhusbandâ\u0000\u0000sbrother.  Even then the fortunes of the Wynnegates were somewhatimpaired, but the old Earl had taken the boy to his heart, and on hisdeath hadconfided him to his wife to share their fortune with his sonHenry.  His last words were, \"Be good to poor Dickâ\u0000\u0000s boy.\"  The estateswere entailed, so noprovision could be made by him for Jim, but LadyKerhill, in her cold, just fashion, had tried to make Dickâ\u0000\u0000s boy happy.Deep in his heart, Jim remembered theyears that followed; rememberedthe selfish domination of the elder boy; remembered the blind adorationof his aunt for her son, the bearer of the torch, who wasto carry onthe golden light of the house of Kerhill.  In the Anglo-Saxon idolatryof the Countess of Kerhill for the male of the family, all the oldtraditions and beliefswere justified.  Her boyâ\u0000\u0000-the man-child who wasto be the head of the houseâ\u0000\u0000was her obsession. The tiny, flower-likegirl who came shortly before herhusbandâ\u0000\u0000s death, learned soon to turnto Cousin Jim for comfort when her brother carelessly crushed her littlejoys, as he selfishly planned and fought for hisown gratification.Instinctively Jim watched his aunt, who, at Henryâ\u0000\u0000s word, had started tomove towards him.\"Of course, if you care to go and fetch Diana, Ishall be happy,\" LadyKerhill said.Henry lounged back in his chair.  \"Well, if I forget, Jim can rememberfor meâ\u0000\u0000eh, Jim?\"Lady Kerhillâ\u0000\u0000s face became graveas she leaned over Henryâ\u0000\u0000s chair andclosely studied the flushed face.  She found there confirmation of thefear that had preyed on her mind for the pasthalf-hour.\"Oh, Henry, youâ\u0000\u0000ve broken your word,\" she whispered.The reckless challenge of Henryâ\u0000\u0000s dark eyes as he moved impatiently inhis chair was hisonly answer. Then in a burst of ill-concealedresentment he rose: \"Donâ\u0000\u0000t nag, mother.\"He swayed slightly as he crossed to the open casement. As Jim turnedtohim, he sullenly pushed him aside.\"And donâ\u0000\u0000t you preach,\" he muttered, as he started for the garden.Jim quickly caught him by the shoulder, \"Pull yourselftogether, Henry.Itâ\u0000\u0000s eight oâ\u0000\u0000clock and the people are gathering in the park.\"Henryâ\u0000\u0000s only reply was a snarl as he disappeared in the shadow ofthetrees.The broad window opened level on an Old World garden that led into thegreat park beyond.  The late twilight of the July night was bathing parkandgarden in a curious, unearthly light which made strange spectres ofthe slowly waving yew-trees.  The scent of the rose-bushes, the call ofthe late nightingale tohis mate, and the ghostly sundial,sentinel-like, guarding the old place, made a fitting environment forMaudsley Towers.On a slight hill beyond the park, Jim couldsee the ruins of the famousNorman church.  To the right, at the farther end of the garden, was theFairiesâ\u0000\u0000 Corner. There among the trees the fairies of thefield weresupposed to sleep, and to listen to and grant the requests of thechildren, who had the courage to venture to them at even-tide.  Jimâ\u0000\u0000sthoughts werebusy to-night; all the old memories seemed to tug at hisheartstrings.He had carried Diana Marjoribanks there on her first visit to theTowers.

She had crept from her cot, and,wrapped in a coverlet, waited, and clung to the beliefthat Henry wouldcome for her.  Jim had said he would try, but Henry had promised.  Shewas old enough to know that what Henry desired he obtained.

I do I'le besworn. Thy valour and thy passions sever'd, would  have made two excellent fellows in their kinds: I know not  whether I should be sorry thou art so valiant, orso passionate,  wou'd one of 'em were away._Tigr_.  Do I refuse her that I doubt her worth?  Were she as vertuous as she would be thought,  So perfect that noone of her own sex  Could find a want, had she so tempting fair,  That she could wish it off for damning souls,  I would pay any ransom, twenty lives  Rather thanmeet her married in my bed.  Perhaps I have a love, where I have fixt  Mine eyes not to be mov'd, and she on me,  I am not fickle._Arb_.  Is that all thecause?  Think you, you can so knit your self in love  To any other, that her searching sight  Cannot dissolve it? So before you tri'd,  You thought your self a matchfor me in [f]ight,  Trust me _Tigranes_, she can do as much  In peace, as I in war, she'l conquer too,  You shall see if you have the power to stand  The force ofher swift looks, if you dislike,  I'le send you home with love, and name your ransom  Some other way, but if she be your choice,  She frees you: To _Iberia_  youmust._Tigr_.  Sir, I have learn'd a prisoners sufferance,  And will obey, but give me leave to talk  In private with some friends before I go._Arb_.  Some to awaithim forth, and see him safe,  But let him freely send for whom he please,  And none dare to disturb his conference,  I will not have him know what bondageis,                                           [_Exit Tigranes_.

Malone.THELADY, OR THE TIGER?byFrank R. StocktonIn the very olden time there lived a semi-barbaric king, whose ideas,though somewhat polished and sharpened by theprogressiveness ofdistant Latin neighbors, were still large, florid, and untrammeled, asbecame the half of him which was barbaric. He was a man ofexuberantfancy, and, withal, of an authority so irresistible that, at his will,he turned his varied fancies into facts. He was greatly given toself-communing, and,when he and himself agreed upon anything, thething was done.  When every member of his domestic and politicalsystems moved smoothly in its appointedcourse, his nature was blandand genial; but, whenever there was a little hitch, and some of hisorbs got out of their orbits, he was blander and more genial still,fornothing pleased him so much as to make the crooked straight and crushdown uneven places.Among the borrowed notions by which his barbarism had becomesemifiedwas that of the public arena, in which, by exhibitions of manly andbeastly valor, the minds of his subjects were refined and cultured.But even here theexuberant and barbaric fancy asserted itself. Thearena of the king was built, not to give the people an opportunity ofhearing the rhapsodies of dying gladiators,nor to enable them to viewthe inevitable conclusion of a conflict between religious opinions andhungry jaws, but for purposes far better adapted to widen anddevelopthe mental energies of the people. This vast amphitheater, with itsencircling galleries, its mysterious vaults, and its unseen passages,was an agent ofpoetic justice, in which crime was punished, or virtuerewarded, by the decrees of an impartial and incorruptible chance.When a subject was accused of a crime ofsufficient importance tointerest the king, public notice was given that on an appointed day thefate of the accused person would be decided in the king's arena,astructure which well deserved its name, for, although its form and planwere borrowed from afar, its purpose emanated solely from the brain ofthis man, who,every barleycorn a king, knew no tradition to which heowed more allegiance than pleased his fancy, and who ingrafted on everyadopted form of human thoughtand action the rich growth of hisbarbaric idealism.When all the people had assembled in the galleries, and the king,surrounded by his court, sat high up on histhrone of royal state onone side of the arena, he gave a signal, a door beneath him opened, andthe accused subject stepped out into the amphitheater.Directlyopposite him, on the other side of the inclosed space, were two doors,exactly alike and side by side. It was the duty and the privilege ofthe person on trialto walk directly to these doors and open one ofthem. He could open either door he pleased; he was subject to noguidance or influence but that of theaforementioned impartial andincorruptible chance. If he opened the one, there came out of it ahungry tiger, the fiercest and most cruel that could be procured,whichimmediately sprang upon him and tore him to pieces as a punishment forhis guilt. The moment that the case of the criminal was thus decided,doleful ironbells were clanged, great wails went up from the hiredmourners posted on the outer rim of the arena, and the vast audience,with bowed heads and downcasthearts, wended slowly their homeward way,mourning greatly that one so young and fair, or so old and respected,should have merited so dire a fate.But, if theaccused person opened the other door, there came forth fromit a lady, the most suitable to his years and station that his majestycould select among his fairsubjects, and to this lady he wasimmediately married, as a reward of his innocence. It mattered not thathe might already possess a wife and family, or that hisaffectionsmight be engaged upon an object of his own selection; the king allowedno such subordinate arrangements to interfere with his great schemeofretribution and reward. The exercises, as in the other instance, tookplace immediately, and in the arena. Another door opened beneath theking, and a priest,followed by a band of choristers, and dancingmaidens blowing joyous airs on golden horns and treading an epithalamicmeasure, advanced to where the pairstood, side by side, and thewedding was promptly and cheerily solemnized. Then the gay brass bellsrang forth their merry peals, the people shouted gladhurrahs, and theinnocent man, preceded by children strewing flowers on his path, ledhis bride to his home.This was the king's semi-barbaric method ofadministering justice. Itsperfect fairness is obvious. The criminal could not know out of whichdoor would come the lady; he opened either he pleased, withouthavingthe slightest idea whether, in the next instant, he was to be devouredor married. On some occasions the tiger came out of one door, and onsome out of theother. The decisions of this tribunal were not onlyfair, they were positively determinate: the accused person wasinstantly punished if he found himself guilty, and,if innocent, he wasrewarded on the spot, whether he liked it or not. There was no escapefrom the judgments of the king's arena.The institution was a verypopular one. When the people gatheredtogether on one of the great trial days, they never knew whether theywere to witness a bloody slaughter or a hilariouswedding.  Thiselement of uncertainty lent an interest to the occasion which it couldnot otherwise have attained. Thus, the masses were entertained andpleased,and the thinking part of the community could bring no chargeof unfairness against this plan, for did not the accused person havethe whole matter in his ownhands?This semi-barbaric king had a daughter as blooming as his most floridfancies, and with a soul as fervent and imperious as his own. As isusual in suchcases, she was the apple of his eye, and was loved by himabove all humanity. Among his courtiers was a young man of thatfineness of blood and lowness ofstation common to the conventionalheroes of romance who love royal maidens. This royal maiden was wellsatisfied with her lover, for he was handsome andbrave to a degreeunsurpassed in all this kingdom, and she loved him with an ardor thathad enough of barbarism in it to make it exceedingly warm andstrong.This love affair moved on happily for many months, until one day theking happened to discover its existence. He did not hesitate nor waverin regard to hisduty in the premises. The youth was immediately castinto prison, and a day was appointed for his trial in the king's arena.This, of course, was an especiallyimportant occasion, and his majesty,as well as all the people, was greatly interested in the workings anddevelopment of this trial. Never before had such a caseoccurred; neverbefore had a subject dared to love the daughter of the king. In afteryears such things became commonplace enough, but then they were innoslight degree novel and startling.The tiger-cages of the kingdom were searched for the most savage andrelentless beasts, from which the fiercest monstermight be selectedfor the arena; and the ranks of maiden youth and beauty throughout theland were carefully surveyed by competent judges in order thattheyoung man might have a fitting bride in case fate did not determine forhim a different destiny. Of course, everybody knew that the deed withwhich theaccused was charged had been done. He had loved the princess,and neither he, she, nor any one else, thought of denying the fact; butthe king would not think ofallowing any fact of this kind to interferewith the workings of the tribunal, in which he took such great delightand satisfaction. No matter how the affair turnedout, the youth wouldbe disposed of, and the king would take an aesthetic pleasure inwatching the course of events, which would determine whether or nottheyoung man had done wrong in allowing himself to love the princess.The appointed day arrived. From far and near the people gathered, andthronged the greatgalleries of the arena, and crowds, unable to gainadmittance, massed themselves against its outside walls.  The king andhis court were in their places, oppositethe twin doors, those fatefulportals, so terrible in their similarity.All was ready. The signal was given. A door beneath the royal partyopened, and the lover of theprincess walked into the arena.  Tall,beautiful, fair, his appearance was greeted with a low hum ofadmiration and anxiety. Half the audience had not known sogrand ayouth had lived among them. No wonder the princess loved him! What aterrible thing for him to be there!As the youth advanced into the arena he turned,as the custom was, tobow to the king, but he did not think at all of that royal personage.His eyes were fixed upon the princess, who sat to the right of herfather.Had it not been for the moiety of barbarism in her nature it isprobable that lady would not have been there, but her intense andfervid soul would not allow her tobe absent on an occasion in whichshe was so terribly interested. From the moment that the decree hadgone forth that her lover should decide his fate in theking's arena,she had thought of nothing, night or day, but this great event and thevarious subjects connected with it. Possessed of more power, influence,andforce of character than any one who had ever before been interestedin such a case, she had done what no other person had done,--she hadpossessed herself ofthe secret of the doors. She knew in which of thetwo rooms, that lay behind those doors, stood the cage of the tiger,with its open front, and in which waited thelady.  Through these thickdoors, heavily curtained with skins on the inside, it was impossiblethat any noise or suggestion should come from within to the personwhoshould approach to raise the latch of one of them. But gold, and thepower of a woman's will, had brought the secret to the princess.And not only did she knowin which room stood the lady ready to emerge,all blushing and radiant, should her door be opened, but she knew whothe lady was. It was one of the fairest andloveliest of the damsels ofthe court who had been selected as the reward of the accused youth,should he be proved innocent of the crime of aspiring to one sofarabove him; and the princess hated her. Often had she seen, or imaginedthat she had seen, this fair creature throwing glances of admirationupon the person ofher lover, and sometimes she thought these glanceswere perceived, and even returned. Now and then she had seen themtalking together; it was but for amoment or two, but much can be saidin a brief space; it may have been on most unimportant topics, but howcould she know that? The girl was lovely, but shehad dared to raiseher eyes to the loved one of the princess; and, with all the intensityof the savage blood transmitted to her through long lines of whollybarbaric"}

TALES OF MYLANDLORDCOLLECTED AND REPORTED BY JEDEDIAH CLEISHBOTHAM, SCHOOLMASTER ANDPARISH-CLERK OF GANDERCLEUGH.INTRODUCTION.As I may,without vanity, presume that the name and official descriptionprefixed to this Proem will secure it, from the sedate and reflectingpart of mankind, to whom only Iwould be understood to address myself,such attention as is due to the sedulous instructor of youth, and thecareful performer of my Sabbath duties, I will forbearto hold upa candle to the daylight, or to point out to the judicious thoserecommendations of my labours which they must necessarily anticipatefrom the perusal ofthe title-page. Nevertheless, I am not unaware,that, as Envy always dogs Merit at the heels, there may be those whowill whisper, that albeit my learning andgood principles cannot(lauded be the heavens) be denied by any one, yet that my situation atGandercleugh hath been more favourable to my acquisitions inlearningthan to the enlargement of my views of the ways and works of the presentgeneration. To the which objection, if, peradventure, any such shall bestarted,my answer shall be threefold:First, Gandercleugh is, as it were, the central part--the navel (SIFAS SIT DICERE) of this our native realm of Scotland; so that men,fromevery corner thereof, when travelling on their concernments of business,either towards our metropolis of law, by which I mean Edinburgh, ortowards ourmetropolis and mart of gain, whereby I insinuate Glasgow,are frequently led to make Gandercleugh their abiding stage and place ofrest for the night. And it mustbe acknowledged by the most sceptical,that I, who have sat in the leathern armchair, on the left-hand side ofthe fire, in the common room of the Wallace Inn,winter and summer,for every evening in my life, during forty years bypast (the ChristianSabbaths only excepted), must have seen more of the manners andcustomsof various tribes and people, than if I had sought them out by myown painful travel and bodily labour. Even so doth the tollman at thewell-frequentedturn-pike on the Wellbraehead, sitting at his ease inhis own dwelling, gather more receipt of custom, than if, moving forthupon the road, he were to require acontribution from each person whomhe chanced to meet in his journey, when, according to the vulgar adage,he might possibly be greeted with more kicks thanhalfpence.But, secondly, supposing it again urged, that Ithacus, the most wise ofthe Greeks, acquired his renown, as the Roman poet hath assured us, byvisitingstates and men, I reply to the Zoilus who shall adhere to thisobjection, that, DE FACTO, I have seen states and men also; for I havevisited the famous cities ofEdinburgh and Glasgow, the former twice,and the latter three times, in the course of my earthly pilgrimage. And,moreover, I had the honour to sit in the GeneralAssembly (meaning, asan auditor, in the galleries thereof), and have heard as much goodlyspeaking on the law of patronage, as, with the fructification thereofinmine own understanding, hath made me be considered as an oracle uponthat doctrine ever since my safe and happy return to Gandercleugh.Again--and thirdly, Ifit be nevertheless pretended that my informationand knowledge of mankind, however extensive, and however painfullyacquired, by constant domestic enquiry,and by foreign travel, is,natheless, incompetent to the task of recording the pleasant narrativesof my Landlord, I will let these critics know, to their owneternalshame and confusion as well as to the abashment and discomfiture of allwho shall rashly take up a song against me, that I am NOT the writer,redacter, orcompiler, of the Tales of my Landlord; nor am I, in onesingle iota, answerable for their contents, more or less. And now, yegeneration of critics, who raiseyourselves up as if it were brazenserpents, to hiss with your tongues, and to smite with your stings, bowyourselves down to your native dust, and acknowledgethat yours havebeen the thoughts of ignorance, and the words of vain foolishness. Lo!ye are caught in your own snare, and your own pit hath yawned foryou.Turn, then, aside from the task that is too heavy for you; destroynot your teeth by gnawing a file; waste not your strength by spurningagainst a castle wall;nor spend your breath in contending in swiftnesswith a fleet steed; and let those weigh the Tales of my Landlord, whoshall bring with them the scales of candourcleansed from the rust ofprejudice by the hands of intelligent modesty. For these alone they werecompiled, as will appear from a brief narrative which my zeal fortruthcompelled me to make supplementary to the present Proem.It is well known that my Landlord was a pleasing and a facetious man,acceptable unto all theparish of Gandercleugh, excepting only theLaird, the Exciseman, and those for whom he refused to draw liquor upontrust. Their causes of dislike I will touchseparately, adding my ownrefutation thereof.His honour, the Laird, accused our Landlord, deceased, of havingencouraged, in various times and places, thedestruction of hares,rabbits, fowls black and grey, partridges, moor-pouts, roe-deer, andother birds and quadrupeds, at unlawful seasons, and contrary tothelaws of this realm, which have secured, in their wisdom, the slaughterof such animals for the great of the earth, whom I have remarked to takean uncommon(though to me, an unintelligible) pleasure therein. Now, inhumble deference to his honour, and in justifiable defence of my frienddeceased, I reply to this charge,that howsoever the form of suchanimals might appear to be similar to those so protected by the law, yetit was a mere DECEPTIO VISUS; for what resembledhares were, in fact,HILL-KIDS, and those partaking of the appearance of moor-fowl, weretruly WOOD PIGEONS and consumed and eaten EO NOMINE, and nototherwise.Again, the Exciseman pretended, that my deceased Landlord did encouragethat species of manufacture called distillation, without having anespecialpermission from the Great, technically called a license, fordoing so. Now, I stand up to confront this falsehood; and in defianceof him, his gauging-stick, and penand inkhorn, I tell him, that Inever saw, or tasted, a glass of unlawful aqua vitae in the house ofmy Landlord; nay, that, on the contrary, we needed not suchdevices, inrespect of a pleasing and somewhat seductive liquor, which was vendedand consumed at the Wallace Inn, under the name of MOUNTAIN DEW. Ifthereis a penalty against manufacturing such a liquor, let him show methe statute; and when he does, I\u0000ll tell him if I will obey it or no.Concerning those who came tomy Landlord for liquor, and went thirstyaway, for lack of present coin, or future credit, I cannot but say ithas grieved my bowels as if the case had been mineown. Nevertheless, myLandlord considered the necessities of a thirsty soul, and would permitthem, in extreme need, and when their soul was impoverished forlackof moisture, to drink to the full value of their watches and wearingapparel, exclusively of their inferior habiliments, which he wasuniformly inexorable inobliging them to retain, for the credit of thehouse. As to mine own part, I may well say, that he never refused methat modicum of refreshment with which I amwont to recruit nature afterthe fatigues of my school. It is true, I taught his five sons Englishand Latin, writing, book-keeping, with a tincture of mathematics,andthat I instructed his daughter in psalmody. Nor do I remember me ofany fee or HONORARIUM received from him on account of these my labours,except thecompotations aforesaid. Nevertheless this compensation suitedmy humour well, since it is a hard sentence to bid a dry throat waittill quarter-day.But, truly, wereI to speak my simple conceit and belief, I think myLandlord was chiefly moved to waive in my behalf the usual requisitionof a symbol, or reckoning, from thepleasure he was wont to take in myconversation, which, though solid and edifying in the main, was, likea well-built palace, decorated with facetious narrativesand devices,tending much to the enhancement and ornament thereof. And so pleased wasmy Landlord of the Wallace in his replies during such colloquies,thatthere was no district in Scotland, yea, and no peculiar, and, as itwere, distinctive custom therein practised, but was discussed betwixtus; insomuch, thatthose who stood by were wont to say, it was wortha bottle of ale to hear us communicate with each other. And not a fewtravellers, from distant parts, as well asfrom the remote districts ofour kingdom, were wont to mingle in the conversation, and to tell newsthat had been gathered in foreign lands, or preserved fromoblivion inthis our own.Now I chanced to have contracted for teaching the lower classes with ayoung person called Peter, or Patrick, Pattieson, who had beeneducatedfor our Holy Kirk, yea, had, by the license of presbytery, his voiceopened therein as a preacher, who delighted in the collection of oldentales and legends,and in garnishing them with the flowers of poesy,whereof he was a vain and frivolous professor. For he followed not theexample of those strong poets whom Iproposed to him as a pattern, butformed versification of a flimsy and modern texture, to the compoundingwhereof was necessary small pains and less thought.And hence I havechid him as being one of those who bring forward the fatal revolutionprophesied by Mr. Robert Carey, in his Vaticination on the Death ofthecelebrated Dr. John Donne:     Now thou art gone, and thy strict laws will be     Too hard for libertines in poetry;     Till verse (by thee refined) in this lastage     Turn ballad rhyme.I had also disputations with him touching his indulging rather aflowing and redundant than a concise and stately diction in hisproseexercitations. But notwithstanding these symptoms of inferior taste,and a humour of contradicting his betters upon passages of dubiousconstruction in Latinauthors, I did grievously lament when PeterPattieson was removed from me by death, even as if he had been theoffspring of my own loins. And in respect hispapers had been left inmy care (to answer funeral and death-bed expenses), I conceived myselfentitled to dispose of one parcel thereof, entitled, \u0000Tales ofmyLandlord,\u0000 to one cunning in the trade (as it is called) of bookselling.He was a mirthful man, of small stature, cunning in counterfeiting ofvoices, and in"}

ASPERFORMED AT THE THEATRE ROYAL, COVENT GARDEN. PRINTED UNDER THE AUTHORITY OF THE MANAGERS FROM THE PROMPT BOOK. WITH REMARKS BYMRS. INCHBALD. LONDON: PRINTED FOR LONGMAN, HURST, REES, AND ORME PATERNOSTER ROW. WILLIAM SAVAGE, PRINTER, LONDON.REMARKS.If the twolast acts of this drama were equal to the three first, itwould rank the foremost among Farquhar's works; for these are brilliantin wit, humour, character, incident,and every other requisite necessaryto form a complete comedy. But the decrease of merit in a play, onapproaching its conclusion, is, as in all other productions,of mostunfortunate consequence.The author was himself a recruiting officer, and possibly gathered allthe materials for this play on the very spot where he hasplaced hisscene--Shrewsbury. He has dedicated the piece \"to all friends round theWrekin,\" and has thanked the inhabitants of the town for thatcheerfulhospitality, which made, he adds, \"the recruiting service, to some menthe greatest fatigue on earth, to me the greatest pleasure in theworld.\"He evenacknowledges, that he found the country folk, whom he has hereintroduced--meaning those most excellently drawn characters of Rose, herbrother, and the tworecruits,--under the shade of that beforementionedhill near Shrewsbury, the Wrekin; and it may be well supposed, that hediscovered Serjeant Kite in his ownRegiment, and Captain Plume in hisown person. Certainly those characters have every appearance of beingcopied from life--and probably, many other of hisSalopian acquaintancehave here had their portraits drawn to perfection.The disguise of Sylvia in boy's clothes, is an improbable, and romanticoccurrence; yet it isone of those dramatic events, which were consideredas perfectly natural in former times; although neither history, nortradition, gives any cause to suppose, thatthe English ladies wereaccustomed to attire themselves in man's apparel; and reason assuresus, that they could seldom, if ever, have concealed their sex bysuchstratagem.Another incident in the \"Recruiting Officer\" might have had its value ahundred years ago--just the time since the play was first acted; but tothepresent generation, it is so dull, that it casts a heaviness uponall those scenes, whereon it has any influence. Fortune-tellers are nowa set of personages, inwhom, and in whose skill or fraud, no rationalperson takes interest; and though such people still exist by theirprofession, they are so vile, they are beneathsatire; and their dupessuch ideots, they do not even enjoy sense enough, for their folly toproduce risibility.Perhaps, the author despised this part of his play, asmuch as theseverest critic can do; but having expended his store of entertainmentupon the foregoing scenes, he was compelled to supply the bulk of thetwo lastacts, from the scanty fund of wasted spirits, and exhaustedinvention.The life of Farquhar was full of adventures.--As a student, he wasexpelled the college ofDublin, for adventuring profane wit upon asacred theme, given to him by his tutor for his exercise.As an actor, he forsook the stage in grief and horror, onhavingunknowingly made use of a real sword, instead of a counterfeit one, bywhich he wounded a brother performer, with whom he had to fence in atragedy,nearly to the loss of his life.In love, and marriage, his enterprises were still more unhappilyterminated.--And merely as an author, and a soldier, can any eventsofhis life be accounted prosperous.As a dramatic writer, Farquhar was eminently successful; and in hismilitary capacity, he was ever honoured andbeloved--whether fightingwith a great army in Flanders, or recruiting with a small party inShropshire.DRAMATIS PERSONÃ\u0000.

It was compiled under the guidance and directionof Professor T. M.Parrott of that institution, and every page ofit is indebted to him for suggestion, advice, and criticism. I canbut inadequately indicate the scope of his painstakingand scholarlysupervision, and can even less adequately express my appreciation ofhis ever-patient aid, which alone made this work possible.I desire also toacknowledge my debt to Professor J.

Vj d.In the year 1632 was published a quarto volume whose title-pagewasinscribed: _The Fatall Dowry_: a Tragedy: As it hath been often Actedat the Private House in Blackfriars, by his Majesties Servants.Written by P. M. andN. F. London, Printed by John Norton, for FrancisConstable, and are to be sold at his shop at the Crane, in PaulsChurchyard. 1632.That the initials by which theauthors are designated stand for PhilipMassinger and Nathaniel Field is undoubted.LATER TEXTSThere is no other seventeenth century edition of _The FatalDowry_. Itwas included in various subsequent collections, as follows:I. _The Works of Philip Massinger_--edited by Thomas Coxeter,1759--re-issued in 1761, withan introduction by T. Davies.II. _The Dramatic Works of Philip Massinger_--edited by John MonckMason, 1779.III. _The Plays of Philip Massinger_--edited byWilliam Gifford, 1805.There was a revised second edition in 1813, which is still regarded asthe Standard Massinger Text, and was followed in subsequent editionsofGifford.IV. _Modern British Drama_--edited by Sir Walter Scott, 1811. The textof this reprint of _The Fatal Dowry_ is Giffordâ\u0000\u0000s.V. _Dramatic Works ofMassinger and Ford_--edited by Hartley Coleridge,1840 (_et seq._). This follows the text of Gifford.VI. _The Plays of Philip Massinger._ From the Text of WilliamGifford.With the Addition of the Tragedy Believe as You List. Edited by FrancisCunningham, 1867 (_et seq._). The Fatal Dowry in this edition, as inthe preceding,is a mere reprint of the Second Edition of Gifford.VII. _Philip Massinger._ Selected Plays. (Mermaid Series.) Edited byArthur Symons, 1887-9 (_et seq._).Inaddition to the above, _The Fatal Dowry_ appeared in _The Plays ofPhilip Massinger_, adapted for family reading and the use of youngpersons, by the omission ofobjectionable passages,--edited by Harness,1830-1; and another expurgated version was printed in the _Mirror ofTaste and Dramatic Censor_, 1810. Both ofthese are based on the textof Gifford.The edition of Coxeter is closest of all to the Quarto, following evenmany of its most palpable mistakes, and adding someblunders on itsown account. Mason accepts practically all of Coxeterâ\u0000\u0000s corrections,and supplies a great many more variants himself, not all of which areveryhappy. Both these eighteenth century editors continually contractfor the sake of securing a perfectly regular metre (e. g.: _Youâ\u0000\u0000re_for _You are_, I, i, 139;_thâ\u0000\u0000 honours_ for _the honours_, I, ii, 35;etc.), while Giffordâ\u0000\u0000s tendency is to give the full form for even thecontractions of the Quarto, changing its_â\u0000\u0000emâ\u0000\u0000s_ to _themâ\u0000\u0000s_, etc.Gifford can scarce find words sharp enough to express his scorn for hispredecessors in their lack of observance of the textof the Quarto,yet he himself frequently repeats their gratuitous emendations whenthe original was a perfectly sure guide, and he has almost a maniafortampering with the Quarto on his own account. Symonsâ\u0000\u0000 _Mermaid_ text,while based essentially on that of Gifford, in a number of instancesdeparts fromit, sometimes to make further emendations, but more oftento go back from those of Gifford to the version of the original, sothat on the whole this is the best textyet published.There has been a German translation by the Graf von Baudisson, underthe title of _Die Unselige Mitgift_, in his _Ben Jonson und seineSchule_,Leipsig, 1836; and a French translation, in prose, underthe title of _La dot fatale_ by E. Lafond in _Contemporains deShakespeare_, Paris, 1864.DATEThe date ofthe composition or original production of _The Fatal Dowry_is not known. The Quarto speaks of it as having been â\u0000\u0000often acted,â\u0000\u0000 sothere is nothing toprevent our supposing that it came into existencemany years before its publication. It does not seem to have beenentered in Sir Henry Herbertâ\u0000\u0000s OfficeBook.[1] This would indicate itsappearance to have been prior to Herbertâ\u0000\u0000s assumption of the duties ofhis office in August, 1623. In seeking a more precisedate we can dealonly in probabilities.[2]The play having been produced by the Kingâ\u0000\u0000s Men, a company in whichField acted, it was most probably writtenduring his associationtherewith. This was formed in 1616; the precise date of his retirementfrom the stage is not known. His name appears in the patent ofMarch27, 1619, just after the death of Burbage, and again and for the lasttime in a livery list for his Majestyâ\u0000\u0000s Servants, dated May 19, 1619.It is absent fromthe next grant for livery (1621) and from the actorsâ\u0000\u0000lists for various plays which are assigned to 1619 or 1620. We maytherefore assume safely that hisconnection with the stage ended beforethe close of 1619. On the basis of probability, then, the field isnarrowed to 1616-19.[3]More or less presumptive evidencemay be adduced for a yet morespecific dating. During these years that Field acted with the Kingâ\u0000\u0000sMen, two plays appeared which bear strong internalevidence of beingproducts of his collaboration with Massinger and Fletcher: _The Knightof Malta_ and _The Queen of Corinth_. While several parallelsofphraseology are afforded for _The Fatal Dowry_ by these (as, indeed, byevery one of the works of Massinger) they are not nearly so numerousor so striking assimilarities discoverable between it and certainother dramas of the Massinger _corpus_. With none does the connectionseem so intimate as with _The UnnaturalCombat_. Both plays open witha scene in which a young suppliant for a fatherâ\u0000\u0000s cause is counseled,in passages irresistibly reminiscent of each other, to layaside prideand modesty for the parentâ\u0000\u0000s sake, because not otherwise can justicebe gained, and it is the custom of the age to sue for it shamelessly.Moreover,the offer by Beaufort and his associates to Malefort of anyboon he may desire as a recompense for his service, and his acceptanceof it, correspond strikingly inboth conduct and language with theconferring of a like favor upon Rochfort by the Court (I, ii, 258ff.); while the request which Malefort prefers, that his daughterbemarried to Beaufort Junior, and the language with which that young manacknowledges this meets his own dearest wish, bear a no less patentresemblance tothe bestowal of Beaumelle upon Charalois (II, ii,284-297). Now this last parallel is significant, because _The UnnaturalCombat_ is an unaided production ofMassinger, while the analogue in_The Fatal Dowry_ occurs in a scene that is by the hand of Field. Thesimilarity may, of course, be only an accident, butpresumably it isnot. Then did Field borrow from Massinger, or did Massinger from Field?The most plausible theory is that _The Unnatural Combat_ waswrittenimmediately after _The Fatal Dowry_, when Massingerâ\u0000\u0000s mind was sosaturated with the contents of the tragedy just laid aside that he wasliable toecho in the new drama the expressions and import of lines inthe old, whether by himself or his collaborator. That at any rate thechronological relationship of thetwo plays is one of juxtaposition isfurther attested by the fact that in minor parallelisms,[4] too, to_The Fatal Dowry_, _The Unnatural Combat_ is richer than anyother workof Massinger.Unfortunately _The Unnatural Combat_ is itself another play of whosedate no more can be said with assurance than that it preceeds theentryof Sir Henry Herbert into office in 1623, though its crude horrors,its ghost, etc., suggest moreover that it is its authorâ\u0000\u0000s initialindependent venture in thefield of tragedy, his _Titus Andronicus_, anill-advised attempt to produce something after the â\u0000\u0000grand mannerâ\u0000\u0000 ofhalf a generation back. Next in closenessto _The Fatal Dowry_ amongthe works of Massinger as regards the number of its reminiscences ofphraseology stands his share of _The Virgin Martyr_; next inclosenessas regards the _strikingness_ of these parallels stands his share of_The Little French Lawyer_. These two plays can be dated _circa_1620.       *       *       *       *       *To sum up:_The Fatal Dowry_ appears to antedate the installation of Sir HenryHerbert in 1623.It was probably written whileField was with the Kingâ\u0000\u0000s Men; with whomhe became associated in 1616, and whom he probably quitted in 1619.The indications point to its compositionduring the latter part of thisthree-year period (1616-19), for it yields more and closer parallelsto _The Virgin Martyr_ and _The Little French Lawyer_, datedabout1620, than to _The Knight of Malta_ and _The Queen of Corinth_, dated1617-8,--closer, indeed, than to any work of Massinger save one, _TheUnnaturalCombat_, itself an undated but evidently early play, withwhich its relationship is clearly of the most intimate variety.       *       *       *       *       *The following"}

Not poor with the arrogant povertycomplained of by certain people who have five or six thousand a year tolive upon,and who yet swear they can hardly manage to make both endsmeet, but really poor,--downright, cruelly, hideously poor, with apoverty that is graceless, sordidand miserable? Poverty that compelsyou to dress in your one suit of clothes till it is wornthreadbare,--that denies you clean linen on account of theruinouscharges of washerwomen,--that robs you of your own self-respect, andcauses you to slink along the streets vaguely abashed, instead ofwalking erectamong your fellow-men in independent ease,--this is thesort of poverty I mean. This is the grinding curse that keeps down nobleaspiration under a load of ignoblecare; this is the moral cancer thateats into the heart of an otherwise well-intentioned human creature andmakes him envious and malignant, and inclined to theuse of dynamite.When he sees the fat idle woman of society passing by in her luxuriouscarriage, lolling back lazily, her face mottled with the purple and redsignsof superfluous eating,--when he observes the brainless and sensualman of fashion smoking and dawdling away the hours in the Park, as ifall the world and itsmillions of honest hard workers were createdsolely for the casual diversion of the so-called 'upper' classes,--thenthe good blood in him turns to gall, and hissuffering spirit rises infierce rebellion, crying out--\"Why in God's name, should this injusticebe? Why should a worthless lounger have his pockets full of gold bymerechance and heritage, while I, toiling wearily from morn till midnight,can scarce afford myself a satisfying meal?\"Why indeed! Why should the wicked flourishlike a green bay-tree? I haveoften thought about it. Now however I believe I could help to solve theproblem out of my own personal experience. But ... such anexperience!Who will credit it? Who will believe that anything so strange andterrific ever chanced to the lot of a mortal man? No one. Yet it istrue;--truer thanmuch so-called truth. Moreover I know that many menare living through many such incidents as have occurred to me, underprecisely the same influence,conscious perhaps at times, that they arein the tangles of sin, but too weak of will to break the net in whichthey have become voluntarily imprisoned. Will they betaught, I wonder,the lesson I have learned? In the same bitter school, under the sameformidable taskmaster? Will they realize as I have been forced todo,--aye,to the very fibres of my intellectual perception,--the vast,individual, active Mind, which behind all matter, works unceasingly,though silently, a very eternal andpositive God? If so, then darkproblems will become clear to them, and what seems injustice in theworld will prove pure equity! But I do not write with any hope ofeitherpersuading or enlightening my fellow-men. I know their obstinacy toowell;--I can gauge it by my own. My proud belief in myself was, at onetime, not to beoutdone by any human unit on the face of the globe. AndI am aware that others are in similar case. I merely intend to relatethe various incidents of my career indue order exactly as theyhappened,--leaving to more confident heads the business of propoundingand answering the riddles of human existence as best theymay.During a certain bitter winter, long remembered for its arctic severity,when a great wave of intense cold spread freezing influences not aloneover the happyisles of Britain, but throughout all Europe, I, GeoffreyTempest, was alone in London and well-nigh starving. Now a starving manseldom gets the sympathy hemerits,--so few can be persuaded to believein him. Worthy folks who have just fed to repletion are the mostincredulous, some of them being even moved to smilewhen told ofexisting hungry people, much as if these were occasional jests inventedfor after-dinner amusement. Or, with that irritating vagueness ofattentionwhich characterizes fashionable folk to such an extent thatwhen asking a question they neither wait for the answer nor understandit when given, the well-dinedgroups, hearing of some one starved todeath, will idly murmur 'How dreadful!' and at once turn to thediscussion of the latest 'fad' for killing time, ere it takes tokillingthem with sheer _ennui_. The pronounced fact of being hungry soundscoarse and common, and is not a topic for polite society, which alwayseats more thansufficient for its needs. At the period I am speaking ofhowever, I, who have since been one of the most envied of men, knew thecruel meaning of the wordhunger, too well,--the gnawing pain, the sickfaintness, the deadly stupor, the insatiable animal craving for merefood, all of which sensations are frightful enoughto those who are,unhappily, daily inured to them, but which when they afflict one who hasbeen tenderly reared and brought up to consider himselfa'gentleman,'--God save the mark! are perhaps still more painful to bear.And I felt that I had not deserved to suffer the wretchedness in which Ifound myself. Ihad worked hard. From the time my father died, leavingme to discover that every penny of the fortune I imagined he possessedwas due to swarming creditors,and that nothing of all our house andestate was left to me except a jewelled miniature of my mother who hadlost her own life in giving me birth,--from that time Isay, I had putmy shoulder to the wheel and toiled late and early. I had turned myUniversity education to the only use for which it or I seemedfitted,--literature. Ihad sought for employment on almost every journalin London,--refused by many, taken on trial by some, but getting steadypay from none. Whoever seeks to liveby brain and pen alone is, at thebeginning of such a career, treated as a sort of social pariah. Nobodywants him,--everybody despises him. His efforts are derided,hismanuscripts are flung back to him unread, and he is less cared for thanthe condemned murderer in gaol. The murderer is at least fed andclothed,--a worthyclergyman visits him, and his gaoler willoccasionally condescend to play cards with him. But a man gifted withoriginal thoughts and the power of expressing them,appears to beregarded by everyone in authority as much worse than the worst criminal,and all the 'jacks-in-office' unite to kick him to death if they can. Itookboth kicks and blows in sullen silence and lived on,--not for thelove of life, but simply because I scorned the cowardice ofself-destruction. I was young enough notto part with hope tooeasily;--the vague idea I had that my turn would come,--that theever-circling wheel of Fortune would perchance lift me up some day asitnow crushed me down, kept me just wearily capable of continuingexistence,--though it was merely a continuance and no more. For aboutsix months I got somereviewing work on a well-known literary journal.Thirty novels a week were sent to me to 'criticise,'--I made a habit ofglancing hastily at about eight or ten ofthem, and writing one columnof rattling abuse concerning these thus casually selected,--theremainder were never noticed at all. I found that this mode ofactionwas considered 'smart,' and I managed for a time to please my editor whopaid me the munificent sum of fifteen shillings for my weekly labour.But on onefatal occasion I happened to change my tactics and warmlypraised a work which my own conscience told me was both original andexcellent. The author of ithappened to be an old enemy of theproprietor of the journal on which I was employed;--my eulogistic reviewof the hated individual, unfortunately for me,appeared, with the resultthat private spite outweighed public justice, and I was immediatelydismissed.After this I dragged on in a sufficiently miserable way,doing 'hackwork' for the dailies, and living on promises that never becamerealities, till, as I have said, in the early January of the bitterwinter alluded to, I foundmyself literally penniless and face to facewith starvation, owing a month's rent besides for the poor lodging Ioccupied in a back street not far from the BritishMuseum. I had beenout all day trudging from one newspaper office to another, seeking forwork and finding none. Every available post was filled. I had alsotried,"}

His purpose is neither selfish nor temporary,but aims at theillustration of some important branches of the moralconstitution of man. Whether this tale will be classed with the ordinaryor frivolous sources of amusement, orbe ranked with the few productionswhose usefulness secures to them a lasting reputation, the reader mustbe permitted to decide.The incidents related areextraordinary and rare. Some of them, perhaps,approach as nearly to the nature of miracles as can be done by thatwhich is not truly miraculous. It is hoped thatintelligent readers willnot disapprove of the manner in which appearances are solved, but thatthe solution will be found to correspond with the known principlesofhuman nature. The power which the principal person is said to possesscan scarcely be denied to be real. It must be acknowledged to beextremely rare; but nofact, equally uncommon, is supported by the samestrength of historical evidence.Some readers may think the conduct of the younger Wieland impossible.Insupport of its possibility the Writer must appeal to Physicians and tomen conversant with the latent springs and occasional perversions ofthe human mind. Itwill not be objected that the instances of similardelusion are rare, because it is the business of moral painters toexhibit their subject in its most instructive andmemorable forms. Ifhistory furnishes one parallel fact, it is a sufficient vindication ofthe Writer; but most readers will probably recollect an authenticcase,remarkably similar to that of Wieland.It will be necessary to add, that this narrative is addressed, in anepistolary form, by the Lady whose story it contains,to a smallnumber of friends, whose curiosity, with regard to it, had been greatlyawakened. It may likewise be mentioned, that these events tookplace betweenthe conclusion of the French and the beginning of therevolutionary war. The memoirs of Carwin, alluded to at the conclusionof the work, will be published orsuppressed according to the receptionwhich is given to the present attempt.C. B. B. September 3, 1798.Chapter II feel little reluctance in complying with yourrequest. You know notfully the cause of my sorrows. You are a stranger to the depth of mydistresses. Hence your efforts at consolation must necessarily fail.Yetthe tale that I am going to tell is not intended as a claim upon yoursympathy. In the midst of my despair, I do not disdain to contributewhat little I can to thebenefit of mankind. I acknowledge your right tobe informed of the events that have lately happened in my family. Makewhat use of the tale you shall thinkproper. If it be communicatedto the world, it will inculcate the duty of avoiding deceit. It willexemplify the force of early impressions, and show theimmeasurableevils that flow from an erroneous or imperfect discipline.My state is not destitute of tranquillity. The sentiment that dictatesmy feelings is not hope.Futurity has no power over my thoughts. To allthat is to come I am perfectly indifferent. With regard to myself, Ihave nothing more to fear. Fate has done itsworst. Henceforth, I amcallous to misfortune.I address no supplication to the Deity. The power that governs thecourse of human affairs has chosen his path. Thedecree that ascertainedthe condition of my life, admits of no recal. No doubt it squares withthe maxims of eternal equity. That is neither to be questionednordenied by me. It suffices that the past is exempt from mutation. Thestorm that tore up our happiness, and changed into dreariness and desertthe bloomingscene of our existence, is lulled into grim repose; butnot until the victim was transfixed and mangled; till every obstacle wasdissipated by its rage; till everyremnant of good was wrested from ourgrasp and exterminated.How will your wonder, and that of your companions, be excited by mystory! Every sentiment willyield to your amazement. If my testimonywere without corroborations, you would reject it as incredible. Theexperience of no human being can furnish a parallel:That I, beyond therest of mankind, should be reserved for a destiny without alleviation,and without example! Listen to my narrative, and then say what it isthathas made me deserve to be placed on this dreadful eminence, if,indeed, every faculty be not suspended in wonder that I am still alive,and am able to relate it. Myfather's ancestry was noble on the paternalside; but his mother was the daughter of a merchant. My grand-father wasa younger brother, and a native of Saxony.He was placed, when he hadreached the suitable age, at a German college. During the vacations,he employed himself in traversing the neighbouring territory. Ononeoccasion it was his fortune to visit Hamburg. He formed an acquaintancewith Leonard Weise, a merchant of that city, and was a frequent guestat his house.The merchant had an only daughter, for whom his guestspeedily contracted an affection; and, in spite of parental menaces andprohibitions, he, in due season,became her husband.By this act he mortally offended his relations. Thenceforward he wasentirely disowned and rejected by them. They refused to contributeanything to his support. All intercourse ceased, and he received from themmerely that treatment to which an absolute stranger, or detested enemy,would beentitled.He found an asylum in the house of his new father, whose temper waskind, and whose pride was flattered by this alliance. The nobility ofhis birth was putin the balance against his poverty. Weise conceivedhimself, on the whole, to have acted with the highest discretion, inthus disposing of his child. My grand-fatherfound it incumbent on himto search out some mode of independent subsistence. His youth hadbeen eagerly devoted to literature and music. These had hithertobeencultivated merely as sources of amusement. They were now converted intothe means of gain. At this period there were few works of taste inthe Saxondialect. My ancestor may be considered as the founder of theGerman Theatre. The modern poet of the same name is sprung from the samefamily, and, perhaps,surpasses but little, in the fruitfulness of hisinvention, or the soundness of his taste, the elder Wieland. His lifewas spent in the composition of sonatas anddramatic pieces. They werenot unpopular, but merely afforded him a scanty subsistence. He diedin the bloom of his life, and was quickly followed to the grave byhiswife. Their only child was taken under the protection of the merchant.At an early age he was apprenticed to a London trader, and passed sevenyears ofmercantile servitude.My father was not fortunate in the character of him under whose carehe was now placed. He was treated with rigor, and full employmentwasprovided for every hour of his time. His duties were laborious andmechanical. He had been educated with a view to this profession, and,therefore, was nottormented with unsatisfied desires. He did not holdhis present occupations in abhorrence, because they withheld him frompaths more flowery and more smooth,but he found in unintermittedlabour, and in the sternness of his master, sufficient occasions fordiscontent. No opportunities of recreation were allowed him. Hespentall his time pent up in a gloomy apartment, or traversing narrow andcrowded streets. His food was coarse, and his lodging humble. His heartgraduallycontracted a habit of morose and gloomy reflection. He couldnot accurately define what was wanting to his happiness. He was nottortured by comparisons drawnbetween his own situation and thatof others. His state was such as suited his age and his views as tofortune. He did not imagine himself treated withextraordinary orunjustifiable rigor. In this respect he supposed the condition ofothers, bound like himself to mercantile service, to resemble his own;yet everyengagement was irksome, and every hour tedious in its lapse.In this state of mind he chanced to light upon a book written by one ofthe teachers of theAlbigenses, or French Protestants. He entertained norelish for books, and was wholly unconscious of any power they possessedto delight or instruct. This volumehad lain for years in a corner ofhis garret, half buried in dust and rubbish. He had marked it as it lay;had thrown it, as his occasions required, from one spot toanother; buthad felt no inclination to examine its contents, or even to inquire whatwas the subject of which it treated.One Sunday afternoon, being induced toretire for a few minutes to hisgarret, his eye was attracted by a page of this book, which, by someaccident, had been opened and placed full in his view. He wasseated onthe edge of his bed, and was employed in repairing a rent in some partof his clothes. His eyes were not confined to his work, but occasionallywandering,lighted at length upon the page. The words \"Seek and yeshall find,\" were those that first offered themselves to his notice.His curiosity was roused by these so faras to prompt him to proceed.As soon as he finished his work, he took up the book and turned tothe first page. The further he read, the more inducement he foundtocontinue, and he regretted the decline of the light which obliged himfor the present to close it.The book contained an exposition of the doctrine of the sectofCamissards, and an historical account of its origin. His mind was in astate peculiarly fitted for the reception of devotional sentiments. Thecraving which hadhaunted him was now supplied with an object. His mindwas at no loss for a theme of meditation. On days of business, he roseat the dawn, and retired to hischamber not till late at night. He nowsupplied himself with candles, and employed his nocturnal and Sundayhours in studying this book. It, of course, aboundedwith allusions tothe Bible. All its conclusions were deduced from the sacred text. Thiswas the fountain, beyond which it was unnecessary to trace the streamofreligious truth; but it was his duty to trace it thus far.A Bible was easily procured, and he ardently entered on the study of it.His understanding had received aparticular direction. All his reverieswere fashioned in the same mould. His progress towards the formation ofhis creed was rapid. Every fact and sentiment in thisbook were viewedthrough a medium which the writings of the Camissard apostle hadsuggested. His constructions of the text were hasty, and formed on anarrowscale. Every thing was viewed in a disconnected position. Oneaction and one precept were not employed to illustrate and restrictthe meaning of another. Hence"}

This belief was not withoutits grounds. The preparations of boththe combatants were in everydepartment in the last state of perfection; and he could see the rest ofthe Hellenic race taking sides in the quarrel; those whodelayed doingso at once having it in contemplation. Indeed this was the greatestmovement yet known in history, not only of the Hellenes, but of a largepart ofthe barbarian world--I had almost said of mankind. For thoughthe events of remote antiquity, and even those that more immediatelypreceded the war, could notfrom lapse of time be clearly ascertained,yet the evidences which an inquiry carried as far back as waspracticable leads me to trust, all point to the conclusionthat therewas nothing on a great scale, either in war or in other matters.For instance, it is evident that the country now called Hellas had inancient times nosettled population; on the contrary, migrations were offrequent occurrence, the several tribes readily abandoning their homesunder the pressure of superiornumbers. Without commerce, withoutfreedom of communication either by land or sea, cultivating no moreof their territory than the exigencies of life required,destitute ofcapital, never planting their land (for they could not tell when aninvader might not come and take it all away, and when he did comethey had no wallsto stop him), thinking that the necessities of dailysustenance could be supplied at one place as well as another, they caredlittle for shifting their habitation, andconsequently neither builtlarge cities nor attained to any other form of greatness. The richestsoils were always most subject to this change of masters; such asthedistrict now called Thessaly, Boeotia, most of the Peloponnese, Arcadiaexcepted, and the most fertile parts of the rest of Hellas. The goodnessof the landfavoured the aggrandizement of particular individuals, andthus created faction which proved a fertile source of ruin. It alsoinvited invasion. Accordingly Attica,from the poverty of its soilenjoying from a very remote period freedom from faction, never changedits inhabitants. And here is no inconsiderable exemplificationofmy assertion that the migrations were the cause of there being nocorrespondent growth in other parts. The most powerful victims of war orfaction from the restof Hellas took refuge with the Athenians as asafe retreat; and at an early period, becoming naturalized, swelled thealready large population of the city to such aheight that Attica becameat last too small to hold them, and they had to send out colonies toIonia.There is also another circumstance that contributes not a littleto myconviction of the weakness of ancient times. Before the Trojan warthere is no indication of any common action in Hellas, nor indeed of theuniversalprevalence of the name; on the contrary, before the time ofHellen, son of Deucalion, no such appellation existed, but the countrywent by the names of thedifferent tribes, in particular of thePelasgian. It was not till Hellen and his sons grew strong in Phthiotis,and were invited as allies into the other cities, that one byone theygradually acquired from the connection the name of Hellenes; though along time elapsed before that name could fasten itself upon all. Thebest proof ofthis is furnished by Homer. Born long after the TrojanWar, he nowhere calls all of them by that name, nor indeed any of themexcept the followers of Achilles fromPhthiotis, who were the originalHellenes: in his poems they are called Danaans, Argives, and Achaeans.He does not even use the term barbarian, probablybecause theHellenes had not yet been marked off from the rest of the world by onedistinctive appellation. It appears therefore that the severalHelleniccommunities, comprising not only those who first acquired the name,city by city, as they came to understand each other, but also those whoassumed itafterwards as the name of the whole people, were before theTrojan war prevented by their want of strength and the absence of mutualintercourse from displayingany collective action.Indeed, they could not unite for this expedition till they had gainedincreased familiarity with the sea. And the first person known to usbytradition as having established a navy is Minos. He made himself masterof what is now called the Hellenic sea, and ruled over the Cyclades,into most of whichhe sent the first colonies, expelling the Cariansand appointing his own sons governors; and thus did his best to put downpiracy in those waters, a necessary stepto secure the revenues for hisown use.For in early times the Hellenes and the barbarians of the coast andislands, as communication by sea became morecommon, were tempted toturn pirates, under the conduct of their most powerful men; the motivesbeing to serve their own cupidity and to support the needy.Theywould fall upon a town unprotected by walls, and consisting of a merecollection of villages, and would plunder it; indeed, this came to bethe main source oftheir livelihood, no disgrace being yet attached tosuch an achievement, but even some glory. An illustration of thisis furnished by the honour with which some ofthe inhabitants of thecontinent still regard a successful marauder, and by the question wefind the old poets everywhere representing the people as askingofvoyagers--\"Are they pirates?\"--as if those who are asked the questionwould have no idea of disclaiming the imputation, or their interrogatorsof reproachingthem for it. The same rapine prevailed also by land.And even at the present day many of Hellas still follow the old fashion,the Ozolian Locrians for instance, theAetolians, the Acarnanians, andthat region of the continent; and the custom of carrying arms is stillkept up among these continentals, from the old piraticalhabits.The whole of Hellas used once to carry arms, their habitations beingunprotected and their communication with each other unsafe; indeed,to wear arms wasas much a part of everyday life with them as with thebarbarians. And the fact that the people in these parts of Hellas arestill living in the old way points to a timewhen the same mode of lifewas once equally common to all. The Athenians were the first to layaside their weapons, and to adopt an easier and more luxuriousmode oflife; indeed, it is only lately that their rich old men left off theluxury of wearing undergarments of linen, and fastening a knot of theirhair with a tie ofgolden grasshoppers, a fashion which spread totheir Ionian kindred and long prevailed among the old men there. On thecontrary, a modest style of dressing,more in conformity with modernideas, was first adopted by the Lacedaemonians, the rich doing theirbest to assimilate their way of life to that of the common"}

Sometimes a group of courts develops itself, andyou may even chance to find your way into a small market-place. Those,however, whoare accustomed to connect these hidden residences ofthe humble with scenes of misery and characters of violence, need notapprehend in this district any appealto their sympathies, or any shockto their tastes. All is extremely genteel; and there is almost as muchrepose as in the golden saloons of the contiguous palaces.At any rate,if there be as much vice, there is as little crime.No sight or sound can be seen or heard at any hour, which could pain themost precise or the mostfastidious. Even if a chance oath may float onthe air from the stable-yard to the lodging of a French cook, â\u0000\u0000tis ofthe newest fashion, and, if responded to withless of novel charm, therepartee is at least conveyed in the language of the most polite ofnations. They bet upon the Derby in these parts a little, are interestedinGoodwood, which they frequent, have perhaps, in general, a weaknessfor play, live highly, and indulge those passions which luxury andrefinement encourage;but that is all.A policeman would as soon think of reconnoitring these secluded streetsas of walking into a house in Park Lane or Berkeley Square, to which,in fact,this population in a great measure belongs. For here reside thewives of house-stewards and of butlers, in tenements furnished by thehonest savings of theirhusbands, and let in lodgings to increase theirswelling incomes; here dwells the retired servant, who now devoteshis practised energies to the occasional festival,which, with hisaccumulations in the three per cents., or in one of the public-houses ofthe quarter, secures him at the same time an easy living, and thecasualenjoyment of that great world which lingers in his memory. Here may befound his graceâ\u0000\u0000s coachman, and here his lordshipâ\u0000\u0000s groom, who keepsabook and bleeds periodically too speculative footmen, by betting oddson his masterâ\u0000\u0000s horses. But, above all, it is in this district thatthe cooks have eversought a favourite and elegant abode. An air ofstillness and serenity, of exhausted passions and suppressed emotion,rather than of sluggishness and of dullness,distinguishes this quarterduring the day.When you turn from the vitality and brightness of Piccadilly, thepark, the palace, the terraced mansions, the sparklingequipages, thecavaliers cantering up the hill, the swarming multitude, and enterthe region of which we are speaking, the effect is at first almostunearthly. Not acarriage, not a horseman, scarcely a passenger; thereseems some great and sudden collapse in the metropolitan system, as ifa pest had been announced, or anenemy were expected in alarm by avanquished capital. The approach from Curzon Street has not this effect.Hyde Park has still about it something of Arcadia.There are woods andwaters, and the occasional illusion of an illimitable distance of sylvanjoyance. The spirit is allured to gentle thoughts as we wander in whatisstill really a lane, and, turning down Stanhope Street, behold thathouse which the great Lord Chesterfield tells us, in one of his letters,he was â\u0000\u0000buildingamong the fields.â\u0000\u0000 The cawing of the rooks in hisgardens sustains the tone of mind, and Curzon Street, after a long,straggling, sawney course, ceasing to bea thoroughfare, and losingitself in the gardens of another palace, is quite in keeping with allthe accessories.In the night, however, the quarter of which we arespeaking is alive.The manners of the population follow those of their masters. They keeplate hours. The banquet and the ball dismiss them to their homes atatime when the trades of ordinary regions move in their last sleep, anddream of opening shutters and decking the windows of their shops.At night, the chariotwhirls round the frequent corners of these littlestreets, and the opening valves of the mews vomit forth their legionof broughams. At night, too, the footman,taking advantage of a ballat Holdernesse, or a concert at Lansdowne House, and knowing that,in either instance, the link-boy will answer when necessary forhissummoned name, ventures to look in at his club, reads the paper, talksof his master or his mistress, and perhaps throws a main. The shops ofthis district,depending almost entirely for their custom on the classeswe have indicated, and kept often by their relations, follow the orderof the place, and are most busywhen other places of business areclosed.A gusty March morning had subsided into a sunshiny afternoon, nearly twoyears ago, when a young man, slender, abovethe middle height, with aphysiognomy thoughtful yet delicate, his brown hair worn long, slightwhiskers, on his chin a tuft, knocked at the door of a houseinCarrington Street, May Fair. His mien and his costume denoted acharacter of the class of artists. He wore a pair of green trousers,braided with a black stripedown their sides, puckered towards thewaist, yet fitting with considerable precision to the boot of Frenchleather that enclosed a well-formed foot. His waistcoatwas of maroonvelvet, displaying a steel watch-chain of refined manufacture, and ablack satin cravat, with a coral brooch. His bright blue frockcoat wasfroggedand braided like his trousers. As the knocker fell from theprimrose-coloured glove that screened his hand, he uncovered, andpassing his fingers rapidly throughhis hair, resumed his new silk hat,which he placed rather on one side of his head.â\u0000\u0000Ah! Mr. Leander, is it you?â\u0000\u0000 exclaimed a pretty girl, who openedthedoor and blushed.â\u0000\u0000And how is the good papa, Eugenie? Is he at home? For I want to see himmuch.â\u0000\u0000â\u0000\u0000I will show you up to him at once, Mr.Leander, for he will be veryhappy to see you. We have been thinking of hearing of you,â\u0000\u0000 she added,talking as she ushered her guest up the narrow staircase.â\u0000\u0000The good papahas a little cold: â\u0000\u0000tis not much, I hope; caught at Sir Wallingerâ\u0000\u0000s, alarge dinner; they would have the kitchen windows open, whichspoilt allthe entrées, and papa got a cold; but I think, perhaps, it is as muchvexation as anything else, you know if anything goes wrong, especiallywith theentrées------â\u0000\u0000â\u0000\u0000He feels as a great artist must,â\u0000\u0000 said Leander, finishing her sentence.â\u0000\u0000However, I am not sorry at this moment to find him aprisoner, for Iam pressed to see him. It is only this morning that I have returned fromMr. Coningsbyâ\u0000\u0000s at Hellingsley: the house full, forty covers everyday,and some judges. One does not grudge oneâ\u0000\u0000s labour if we areappreciated,â\u0000\u0000 added Leander; â\u0000\u0000but I have had my troubles. One of mymarmitons hasdisappointed me: I thought I had a genius, but on thethird day he lost his head; and had it not been---- Ah! good papa,â\u0000\u0000he exclaimed, as the door opened,and he came forward and warmly shookthe hand of a portly man, advanced in middle life, sitting in an easychair, with a glass of sugared water by his side, andreading a Frenchnewspaper in his chamber robe, and with a white cotton nightcap on hishead.â\u0000\u0000Ah! my child,â\u0000\u0000 said Papa Prevost, â\u0000\u0000is it you? You seeme a prisoner;Eugenie has told you; a dinner at a merchantâ\u0000\u0000s; dressed in a draught;everything spoiled, and I------â\u0000\u0000 and sighing, Papa Prevost sippedhis_eau sucrée_.â\u0000\u0000We have all our troubles,â\u0000\u0000 said Leander, in a consoling tone; â\u0000\u0000butwe will not speak now of vexations. I have just come from thecountry;Daubuz has written to me twice; he was at my house last night; I foundhim on my steps this morning. There is a grand affair on the tapis.The son of theDuke of Bellamont comes of age at Easter; it is to be abusiness of the thousand and one nights; the whole county to be feasted.Camachoâ\u0000\u0000s wedding will dofor the peasantry; roasted oxen, and acapon in every platter, with some fountains of ale and good Porto. Ourmarmitons, too, can easily serve the provincialnoblesse; but there isto be a party at the Castle, of double cream; princes of the blood,high relatives and grandees of the Golden Fleece. The dukeâ\u0000\u0000s cook isnotequal to the occasion. â\u0000\u0000Tis an hereditary chef who gives dinners of thetime of the continental blockade. They have written to Daubuz to sendthem the firstartist of the age,â\u0000\u0000 said Leander; â\u0000\u0000and,â\u0000\u0000 added he, withsome hesitation, â\u0000\u0000Daubuz has written to me.â\u0000\u0000â\u0000\u0000And he did quite right, mychild,â\u0000\u0000 said Prevost, â\u0000\u0000for there is not aman in Europe that is your equal. What do they say? That Abreu rivalsyou in flavour, and that Gaillard has not lessinvention. But who cancombine _goût_ with new combinations? â\u0000\u0000Tis yourself, Leander; and thereis no question, though you have only twenty-five years,that you are thechef of the age.â\u0000\u0000â\u0000\u0000You are always very good to me, sir,â\u0000\u0000 said Leander, bending his headwith great respect; â\u0000\u0000and I will not denythat to be famous when you areyoung is the fortune of the gods.

It is something to have served under Napoleon,â\u0000\u0000 added Prevost,with the grand air of the Imperial kitchen. â\u0000\u0000Had it not beenforWaterloo, I should have had the cross. But the Bourbons and the cooksof the Empire never could understand each other: They brought over anemigrant chef,who did not comprehend the taste of the age.

Parents are always talking about the system, and the sixties and how cool it was. Well look at where the sixties got them hey! Come on people now smileon your brother everybody together try and love one another right now!!! Now that was the sixties, this is a song from the nineties from my buddies theDescendants.

Happy Harry just happens to have in his very hands a copy of a memo written by Mr. David Deaver, guidance councillor extrordinaire to oneMiss Loretta Creswood, high school principle. \"I found Cheryl un-remorseful about her current condition\" Bastard can't even say she's knocked up. \"And she'sunwilling to minimise it's affect on the morals of the student population.\" Guidance councillors!!!!!

Extensive research did not uncover any evidence that    the U.S. copyright on this publication was renewed.]1 A Drum Begins'Perilhides in the house of Aram Baksh!'The speaker's voice quivered with earnestness and his lean, black-nailedfingers clawed at Conan's mightily muscled arm as hecroaked hiswarning. He was a wiry, sun-burnt man with a straggling black beard, andhis ragged garments proclaimed him a nomad. He looked smaller andmeanerthan ever in contrast to the giant Cimmerian with his black brows, broadchest, and powerful limbs. They stood in a corner of the Sword-Makers'Bazar, andon either side of them flowed past the many-tongued,many-colored stream of the Zamboula streets, which is exotic, hybrid,flamboyant and clamorous.Conanpulled his eyes back from following a bold-eyed, red-lippedGhanara whose short skirt bared her brown thigh at each insolent step,and frowned down at hisimportunate companion.'What do you mean by peril?' he demanded.The desert man glanced furtively over his shoulder before replying, andlowered hisvoice.'Who can say? But desert men and travelers _have_ slept in the house ofAram Baksh, and never been seen or heard of again. What became of them?_He_swore they rose and went their way--and it is true that no citizenof the city has ever disappeared from his house. But no one saw thetravelers again, and men saythat goods and equipment recognized astheirs have been seen in the bazars. If Aram did not sell them, afterdoing away with their owners, how came theyhere?''I have no goods,' growled the Cimmerian, touching the shagreen-boundhilt of the broadsword that hung at his hip. 'I have even sold myhorse.''But it is notalways rich strangers who vanish by night from the houseof Aram Baksh!' chattered the Zuagir. 'Nay, poor desert men have sleptthere--because his score is lessthan that of the other taverns--andhave been seen no more. Once a chief of the Zuagirs whose son had thusvanished complained to the satrap, Jungir Khan, whoordered the housesearched by soldiers.''And they found a cellar full of corpses?' asked Conan in good-humoredderision.'Nay! They found naught! And drove thechief from the city with threatsand curses! But--' he drew closer to Conan and shivered--'something elsewas found! At the edge of the desert, beyond the houses,there is aclump of palm trees, and within that grove there is a pit. And withinthat pit have been found human bones, charred and blackened! Not once,but manytimes!''Which proves what?' grunted the Cimmerian.'Aram Baksh is a demon! Nay, in this accursed city which Stygians builtand which Hyrkanians rule--wherewhite, brown and black folk mingletogether to produce hybrids of all unholy hues and breeds--who can tellwho is a man, and who a demon in disguise? AramBaksh is a demon in theform of a man! At night he assumes his true guise and carries his guestsoff into the desert where his fellow demons from the waste meetinconclave.''Why does he always carry off strangers?' asked Conan skeptically.'The people of the city would not suffer him to slay their people, butthey carenaught for the strangers who fall into his hands. Conan, youare of the West, and know not the secrets of this ancient land. But,since the beginning of happenings,the demons of the desert haveworshipped Yog, the Lord of the Empty Abodes, with fire--fire thatdevours human victims.'Be warned! You have dwelt for manymoons in the tents of the Zuagirs,and you are our brother! Go not to the house of Aram Baksh!''Get out of sight!' Conan said suddenly. 'Yonder comes a squad ofthecity-watch. If they see you they may remember a horse that was stolenfrom the satrap's stable--'The Zuagir gasped, and moved convulsively. He duckedbetween a booth anda stone horse-trough, pausing only long enough to chatter: 'Be warned,my brother! There are demons in the house of Aram Baksh!' Then hedarteddown a narrow alley and was gone.Conan shifted his broad sword-belt to his liking, and calmly returnedthe searching stares directed at him by the squad ofwatchmen as theyswung past. They eyed him curiously and suspiciously, for he was a manwho stood out even in such a motley throng as crowded thewindingstreets of Zamboula. His blue eyes and alien features distinguished himfrom the Eastern swarms, and the straight sword at his hip added pointto the racialdifference.The watchmen did not accost him, but swung on down the street, while thecrowd opened a lane for them. They were Pelishtim, squat, hook-nosed,withblue-black beards sweeping their mailed breasts--mercenaries hiredfor work the ruling Turanians considered beneath themselves, and no lesshated by themongrel population for that reason.Conan glanced at the sun, just beginning to dip behind the flat-toppedhouses on the western side of the bazar, and hitchingonce more at hisbelt, moved off in the direction of Aram Baksh's tavern.With a hillman's stride he moved through the ever-shifting colors of thestreets, where theragged tunics of whining beggars brushed against theermine-trimmed khalats of lordly merchants, and the pearl-sewn satin ofrich courtezans. Giant black slavesslouched along, jostlingblue-bearded wanderers from the Shemitish cities, ragged nomads from thesurrounding deserts, traders and adventurers from all thelands of theEast.The native population was no less heterogenous. Here, centuries ago,the armies of Stygia had come, carving an empire out of the easterndesert.Zamboula was but a small trading-town then, lying amidst a ringof oases, and inhabited by descendants of nomads. The Stygians built itinto a city and settled itwith their own people, and with Shemite andKushite slaves. The ceaseless caravans, threading the desert from eastto west and back again, brought riches andmore mingling of races. Thencame the conquering Turanians, riding out of the East to thrust back theboundaries of Stygia, and now for a generation Zamboulahad been Turan'swesternmost outpost, ruled by a Turanian satrap.The babel of a myriad tongues smote on the Cimmerian's ears as therestless pattern of theZamboula streets weaved about him--cleft now andthen by a squad of clattering horsemen, the tall, supple warriors ofTuran, with dark hawk-faces, clinking metaland curved swords. Thethrong scampered from under their horses' hoofs, for they were the lordsof Zamboula. But tall, somber Stygians, standing back in theshadows,glowered darkly, remembering their ancient glories. The hybridpopulation cared little whether the king who controlled their destiniesdwelt in dark Khemior gleaming Aghrapur. Jungir Khan ruled Zamboula,and men whispered that Nafertari, the satrap's mistress, ruled JungirKhan; but the people went their way,flaunting their myriad colors inthe streets, bargaining, disputing, gambling, swilling, loving, as thepeople of Zamboula have done for all the centuries its towersandminarets have lifted over the sands of the Kharamun.Bronze lanterns, carved with leering dragons, had been lighted in thestreets before Conan reached thehouse of Aram Baksh. The tavern was thelast occupied house on the street, which ran west. A wide garden,enclosed by a wall, where date-palms grew thick,separated it from thehouses farther east. To the west of the inn stood another grove ofpalms, through which the street, now become a road, wound out intothedesert. Across the road from the tavern stood a row of deserted huts,shaded by straggling palm trees, and occupied only by bats and jackals.As Conan camedown the road he wondered why the beggars, so plentiful inZamboula, had not appropriated these empty houses for sleeping quarters.The lights ceased somedistance behind him. Here were no lanterns,except the one hanging before the tavern gate: only the stars, the softdust of the road underfoot, and the rustle ofthe palm leaves in thedesert breeze.Aram's gate did not open upon the road, but upon the alley which ranbetween the tavern and the garden of the date-palms.Conan jerkedlustily at the rope which depended from the bell beside the lantern,augmenting its clamor by hammering on the iron-bound teakwork gate withthehilt of his sword. A wicket opened in the gate and a black facepeered through.'Open, blast you,' requested Conan. 'I'm a guest. I've paid Aram for aroom, and aroom I'll have, by Crom!'The black craned his neck to stare into the starlit road behind Conan;but he opened the gate without comment, and closed it againbehind theCimmerian, locking and bolting it. The wall was unusually high; butthere were many thieves in Zamboula, and a house on the edge of thedesert mighthave to be defended against a nocturnal nomad raid. Conanstrode through a garden where great pale blossoms nodded in thestarlight, and entered the tap-room,where a Stygian with the shavenhead of a student sat at a table brooding over nameless mysteries, andsome nondescripts wrangled over a game of dice in acorner.Aram Baksh came forward, walking softly, a portly man, with a blackbeard that swept his breast, a jutting hook-nose, and small black eyeswhich werenever still.'You wish food?' he asked. 'Drink?''I ate a joint of beef and a loaf of bread in the _suk_,' grunted Conan.'Bring me a tankard of Ghazan wine--I've gotjust enough left to pay forit.' He tossed a copper coin on the wine-splashed board.'You did not win at the gaming-tables?''How could I, with only a handful of silverto begin with? I paid youfor the room this morning, because I knew I'd probably lose. I wanted tobe sure I had a roof over my head tonight. I notice nobodysleeps in thestreets in Zamboula. The very beggars hunt a niche they can barricadebefore dark. The city must be full of a particularly blood-thirsty brandofthieves.'He gulped the cheap wine with relish, and then followed Aram out of thetap-room. Behind him the players halted their game to stare after himwith acryptic speculation in their eyes. They said nothing, but theStygian laughed, a ghastly laugh of inhuman cynicism and mockery.

Atfirst he had been humbly thankful, too, that they had sent him to thisGodforsaken Congopost instead of court-martialing him, as he had sojustly deserved; but now six months of the monotony, the frightfulisolation and the loneliness had wrought achange.  The young manbrooded continually over his fate.  His days were filled with morbidself-pity, which eventually engendered in his weak and vacillatingminda hatred for those who had sent him here--for the very men he had atfirst inwardly thanked for saving him from the ignominy of degradation.He regrettedthe gay life of Brussels as he never had regretted thesins which had snatched him from that gayest of capitals, and as thedays passed he came to center hisresentment upon the representative inCongo land of the authority which had exiled him--his captain andimmediate superior.This officer was a cold, taciturn man,inspiring little love in thosedirectly beneath him, yet respected and feared by the black soldiers ofhis little command.Werper was accustomed to sit for hoursglaring at his superior as thetwo sat upon the veranda of their common quarters, smoking theirevening cigarets in a silence which neither seemed desirousofbreaking.  The senseless hatred of the lieutenant grew at last into aform of mania.  The captain's natural taciturnity he distorted into astudied attempt to insulthim because of his past shortcomings.  Heimagined that his superior held him in contempt, and so he chafed andfumed inwardly until one evening his madnessbecame suddenly homicidal.He fingered the butt of the revolver at his hip, his eyes narrowed andhis brows contracted.  At last he spoke.\"You have insulted mefor the last time!\" he cried, springing to hisfeet.  \"I am an officer and a gentleman, and I shall put up with it nolonger without an accounting from you, youpig.\"The captain, an expression of surprise upon his features, turned towardhis junior.  He had seen men before with the jungle madness uponthem--the madnessof solitude and unrestrained brooding, and perhaps atouch of fever.He rose and extended his hand to lay it upon the other's shoulder.Quiet words of counsel wereupon his lips; but they were never spoken.Werper construed his superior's action into an attempt to close withhim.  His revolver was on a level with the captain'sheart, and thelatter had taken but a step when Werper pulled the trigger.  Without amoan the man sank to the rough planking of the veranda, and as he fellthemists that had clouded Werper's brain lifted, so that he sawhimself and the deed that he had done in the same light that those whomust judge him would seethem.He heard excited exclamations from the quarters of the soldiers and heheard men running in his direction.  They would seize him, and if theydidn't kill himthey would take him down the Congo to a point where aproperly ordered military tribunal would do so just as effectively,though in a more regular manner.Werperhad no desire to die.  Never before had he so yearned for lifeas in this moment that he had so effectively forfeited his right tolive.  The men were nearinghim.  What was he to do?  He glanced aboutas though searching for the tangible form of a legitimate excuse forhis crime; but he could find only the body of theman he had socauselessly shot down.In despair, he turned and fled from the oncoming soldiery.  Across thecompound he ran, his revolver still clutched tightly inhis hand.  Atthe gates a sentry halted him.  Werper did not pause to parley or toexert the influence of his commission--he merely raised his weapon andshotdown the innocent black.  A moment later the fugitive had tornopen the gates and vanished into the blackness of the jungle, but notbefore he had transferred therifle and ammunition belts of the deadsentry to his own person.All that night Werper fled farther and farther into the heart of thewilderness.  Now and again thevoice of a lion brought him to alistening halt; but with cocked and ready rifle he pushed ahead again,more fearful of the human huntsmen in his rear than of thewildcarnivora ahead.Dawn came at last, but still the man plodded on.  All sense of hungerand fatigue were lost in the terrors of contemplated capture.  Hecouldthink only of escape.  He dared not pause to rest or eat until therewas no further danger from pursuit, and so he staggered on until atlast he fell and couldrise no more.  How long he had fled he did notknow, or try to know.  When he could flee no longer the knowledge thathe had reached his limit was hidden fromhim in the unconsciousness ofutter exhaustion.And thus it was that Achmet Zek, the Arab, found him.  Achmet'sfollowers were for running a spear through thebody of their hereditaryenemy; but Achmet would have it otherwise.  First he would question theBelgian.  It were easier to question a man first and killhimafterward, than kill him first and then question him.So he had Lieutenant Albert Werper carried to his own tent, and thereslaves administered wine and food insmall quantities until at last theprisoner regained consciousness.  As he opened his eyes he saw thefaces of strange black men about him, and just outside thetent thefigure of an Arab.  Nowhere was the uniform of his soldiers to be seen.The Arab turned and seeing the open eyes of the prisoner upon him,entered thetent.\"I am Achmet Zek,\" he announced.  \"Who are you, and what were you doingin my country?  Where are your soldiers?\"Achmet Zek!  Werper's eyes wentwide, and his heart sank.  He was inthe clutches of the most notorious of cut-throats--a hater of allEuropeans, especially those who wore the uniform ofBelgium.  For yearsthe military forces of Belgian Congo had waged a fruitless war uponthis man and his followers--a war in which quarter had never beenaskednor expected by either side.But presently in the very hatred of the man for Belgians, Werper saw afaint ray of hope for himself.  He, too, was an outcast andan outlaw.So far, at least, they possessed a common interest, and Werper decidedto play upon it for all that it might yield.\"I have heard of you,\" he replied, \"andwas searching for you.  Mypeople have turned against me.  I hate them.  Even now their soldiersare searching for me, to kill me.  I knew that you would protectmefrom them, for you, too, hate them.  In return I will take service withyou.  I am a trained soldier.  I can fight, and your enemies are myenemies.\"Achmet Zekeyed the European in silence.  In his mind he revolved manythoughts, chief among which was that the unbeliever lied.  Of coursethere was the chance that he didnot lie, and if he told the truth thenhis proposition was one well worthy of consideration, since fightingmen were never over plentiful--especially white men withthe trainingand knowledge of military matters that a European officer must possess.Achmet Zek scowled and Werper's heart sank; but Werper did notknowAchmet Zek, who was quite apt to scowl where another would smile, andsmile where another would scowl.\"And if you have lied to me,\" said Achmet Zek, \"Iwill kill you at anytime.  What return, other than your life, do you expect for yourservices?\"\"My keep only, at first,\" replied Werper.  \"Later, if I am worth more,wecan easily reach an understanding.\" Werper's only desire at themoment was to preserve his life.  And so the agreement was reached andLieutenant Albert Werperbecame a member of the ivory and slave raidingband of the notorious Achmet Zek.For months the renegade Belgian rode with the savage raider.  He foughtwith asavage abandon, and a vicious cruelty fully equal to that of hisfellow desperadoes.  Achmet Zek watched his recruit with eagle eye, andwith a growing satisfactionwhich finally found expression in a greaterconfidence in the man, and resulted in an increased independence ofaction for Werper.Achmet Zek took the Belgian intohis confidence to a great extent, andat last unfolded to him a pet scheme which the Arab had long fostered,but which he never had found an opportunity toeffect.  With the aid ofa European, however, the thing might be easily accomplished.  Hesounded Werper.\"You have heard of the man men call Tarzan?\" heasked.Werper nodded.  \"I have heard of him; but I do not know him.\"\"But for him we might carry on our 'trading' in safety and with greatprofit,\" continued theArab.  \"For years he has fought us, driving usfrom the richest part of the country, harassing us, and arming thenatives that they may repel us when we come to'trade.' He is veryrich.  If we could find some way to make him pay us many pieces of goldwe should not only be avenged upon him; but repaid for much that hehasprevented us from winning from the natives under his protection.\"Werper withdrew a cigaret from a jeweled case and lighted it.\"And you have a plan to makehim pay?\" he asked.\"He has a wife,\" replied Achmet Zek, \"whom men say is very beautiful.She would bring a great price farther north, if we found it toodifficult tocollect ransom money from this Tarzan.\"Werper bent his head in thought.  Achmet Zek stood awaiting his reply.What good remained in Albert Werper revolted atthe thought of sellinga white woman into the slavery and degradation of a Moslem harem.  Helooked up at Achmet Zek.  He saw the Arab's eyes narrow, and heguessedthat the other had sensed his antagonism to the plan.  What would itmean to Werper to refuse?  His life lay in the hands of thissemi-barbarian,  whoesteemed the life of an unbeliever less highlythan that of a dog.  Werper loved life.  What was this woman to him,anyway?  She was a European, doubtless, amember of organized society.He was an outcast.  The hand of every white man was against him.  Shewas his natural enemy, and if he refused to lend himself toherundoing, Achmet Zek would have him killed.\"You hesitate,\" murmured the Arab.\"I was but weighing the chances of success,\" lied Werper, \"and myreward.

To                 CHARLES BAXTER,_Writer to the Signet_.MY DEAR CHARLES,It is the fate of sequels to disappoint those who have waited for them;and my David, having been left to kick his heelsfor more than a lustrein the British Linen Companyâ\u0000\u0000s office, must expect his late re-appearanceto be greeted with hoots, if not with missiles.  Yet, when Iremember thedays of our explorations, I am not without hope.  There should be left inour native city some seed of the elect; some long-legged, hot-headedyouthmust repeat to-day our dreams and wanderings of so many years ago;he will relish the pleasure, which should have been ours, to follow amongnamed streetsand numbered houses the country walks of David Balfour, toidentify Dean, and Silvermills, and Broughton, and Hope Park, and Pilrig,and poor old Lochendâ\u0000\u0000ifit still be standing, and the Figgate Whinsâ\u0000\u0000ifthere be any of them left; or to push (on a long holiday) so far afieldas Gillane or the Bass.  So, perhaps, his eyeshall be opened to beholdthe series of the generations, and he shall weigh with surprise hismomentous and nugatory gift of life.You are stillâ\u0000\u0000as when first Isaw, as when I last addressed youâ\u0000\u0000in thevenerable city which I must always think of as my home.  And I have comeso far; and the sights and thoughts of myyouth pursue me; and I see likea vision the youth of my father, and of his father, and the whole streamof lives flowing down there far in the north, with the soundof laughterand tears, to cast me out in the end, as by a sudden freshet, on theseultimate islands.  And I admire and bow my head before the romanceofdestiny.                                                                  R. L. S._Vailima_, _Upolu_,_Samoa_, 1892.CATRIONAâ\u0000\u0000Part Iâ\u0000\u0000THE LORD ADVOCATECHAPTERIâ\u0000\u0000A BEGGAR ON HORSEBACKThe 25th day of August, 1751, about two in the afternoon, I, DavidBalfour, came forth of the British Linen Company, a porterattending mewith a bag of money, and some of the chief of these merchants bowing mefrom their doors.  Two days before, and even so late as yestermorning,Iwas like a beggar-man by the wayside, clad in rags, brought down to mylast shillings, my companion a condemned traitor, a price set on my ownhead for acrime with the news of which the country rang.  To-day I wasserved heir to my position in life, a landed laird, a bank porter by mecarrying my gold,recommendations in my pocket, and (in the words of thesaying) the ball directly at my foot.There were two circumstances that served me as ballast to so muchsail.The first was the very difficult and deadly business I had still tohandle; the second, the place that I was in.  The tall, black city, andthe numbers andmovement and noise of so many folk, made a new world forme, after the moorland braes, the sea-sands and the still country-sidesthat I had frequented up tothen.  The throng of the citizens inparticular abashed me.  Rankeillorâ\u0000\u0000s son was short and small in thegirth; his clothes scarce held on me; and it was plain Iwas illqualified to strut in the front of a bank-porter.  It was plain, if I didso, I should but set folk laughing, and (what was worse in my case) setthem askingquestions.  So that I behooved to come by some clothes of myown, and in the meanwhile to walk by the porterâ\u0000\u0000s side, and put my handon his arm as thoughwe were a pair of friends.At a merchantâ\u0000\u0000s in the Luckenbooths I had myself fitted out: none toofine, for I had no idea to appear like a beggar on horseback;but comelyand responsible, so that servants should respect me.  Thence to anarmourerâ\u0000\u0000s, where I got a plain sword, to suit with my degree in life.  Ifelt saferwith the weapon, though (for one so ignorant of defence) itmight be called an added danger.  The porter, who was naturally a man ofsome experience, judged myaccoutrement to be well chosen.â\u0000\u0000Naething kenspeckle,â\u0000\u0000 {1} said he; â\u0000\u0000plain, dacent claes.  As for therapier, nae doubt it sits wiâ\u0000\u0000 your degree; butan I had been you, I wouldhas waired my siller better-gates than that.â\u0000\u0000  And he proposed I shouldbuy winter-hosen from a wife in the Cowgate-back, thatwas a cousin ofhis own, and made them â\u0000\u0000extraordinar endurable.â\u0000\u0000But I had other matters on my hand more pressing.  Here I was in thisold, black city,which was for all the world like a rabbit-warren, notonly by the number of its indwellers, but the complication of itspassages and holes.  It was, indeed, a placewhere no stranger had achance to find a friend, let be another stranger.  Suppose him even tohit on the right close, people dwelt so thronged in these tall houses,hemight very well seek a day before he chanced on the right door.  Theordinary course was to hire a lad they called a _caddie_, who was like aguide or pilot, ledyou where you had occasion, and (your errands beingdone) brought you again where you were lodging.  But these caddies, beingalways employed in the samesort of services, and having it forobligation to be well informed of every house and person in the city, hadgrown to form a brotherhood of spies; and I knew fromtales of Mr.Campbellâ\u0000\u0000s how they communicated one with another, what a rage ofcuriosity they conceived as to their employerâ\u0000\u0000s business, and howtheywere like eyes and fingers to the police.  It would be a piece of littlewisdom, the way I was now placed, to take such a ferret to my tails.  Ihad three visits tomake, all immediately needful: to my kinsman Mr.Balfour of Pilrig, to Stewart the Writer that was Appinâ\u0000\u0000s agent, and toWilliam Grant Esquire ofPrestongrange, Lord Advocate of Scotland.  Mr.Balfourâ\u0000\u0000s was a non-committal visit; and besides (Pilrig being in thecountry) I made bold to find the way to itmyself, with the help of mytwo legs and a Scots tongue.  But the rest were in a different case.  Notonly was the visit to Appinâ\u0000\u0000s agent, in the midst of the cryabout theAppin murder, dangerous in itself, but it was highly inconsistent withthe other.  I was like to have a bad enough time of it with my LordAdvocate Grant,the best of ways; but to go to him hot-foot from Appinâ\u0000\u0000sagent, was little likely to mend my own affairs, and might prove the mereruin of friendAlanâ\u0000\u0000s.  The whole thing, besides, gave me a look ofrunning with the hare and hunting with the hounds that was little to myfancy.  I determined, therefore, tobe done at once with Mr. Stewart andthe whole Jacobitical side of my business, and to profit for that purposeby the guidance of the porter at my side.  But itchanced I had scarcegiven him the address, when there came a sprinkle of rainâ\u0000\u0000nothing tohurt, only for my new clothesâ\u0000\u0000and we took shelter under apend at thehead of a close or alley.Being strange to what I saw, I stepped a little farther in.  The narrowpaved way descended swiftly.  Prodigious tall housessprang upon eachside and bulged out, one storey beyond another, as they rose.  At the toponly a ribbon of sky showed in.  By what I could spy in the windows,andby the respectable persons that passed out and in, I saw the houses to bevery well occupied; and the whole appearance of the place interested melike a tale.Iwas still gazing, when there came a sudden brisk tramp of feet in timeand clash of steel behind me.  Turning quickly, I was aware of a party ofarmed soldiers,and, in their midst, a tall man in a great coat.  Hewalked with a stoop that was like a piece of courtesy, genteel andinsinuating: he waved his hands plausibly ashe went, and his face wassly and handsome.  I thought his eye took me in, but could not meet it.This procession went by to a door in the close, which aserving-man in afine livery set open; and two of the soldier-lads carried the prisonerwithin, the rest lingering with their firelocks by the door.There can nothingpass in the streets of a city without some following ofidle folk and children.  It was so now; but the more part melted awayincontinent until but three wereleft.  One was a girl; she was dressedlike a lady, and had a screen of the Drummond colours on her head; buther comrades or (I should say) followers wereragged gillies, such as Ihad seen the matches of by the dozen in my Highland journey.  They allspoke together earnestly in Gaelic, the sound of which waspleasant in myears for the sake of Alan; and, though the rain was by again, and myporter plucked at me to be going, I even drew nearer where they were,tolisten.  The lady scolded sharply, the others making apologies andcringeing before her, so that I made sure she was come of a chiefâ\u0000\u0000shouse.  All the whilethe three of them sought in their pockets, and bywhat I could make out, they had the matter of half a farthing among theparty; which made me smile a little tosee all Highland folk alike forfine obeisances and empty sporrans.It chanced the girl turned suddenly about, so that I saw her face for thefirst time.  There is nogreater wonder than the way the face of a youngwoman fits in a manâ\u0000\u0000s mind, and stays there, and he could never tell youwhy; it just seems it was the thinghe wanted.  She had wonderful brighteyes like stars, and I daresay the eyes had a part in it; but what Iremember the most clearly was the way her lips were atrifle open as sheturned.  And, whatever was the cause, I stood there staring like a fool.On her side, as she had not known there was anyone so near, she lookedatme a little longer, and perhaps with more surprise, than was entirelycivil.It went through my country head she might be wondering at my new clothes;with that,I blushed to my hair, and at the sight of my colouring it isto be supposed she drew her own conclusions, for she moved her gilliesfarther down the close, and theyfell again to this dispute, where Icould hear no more of it.I had often admired a lassie before then, if scarce so sudden and strong;and it was rather my dispositionto withdraw than to come forward, for Iwas much in fear of mockery from the womenkind.  You would have thought Ihad now all the more reason to pursue mycommon practice, since I had metthis young lady in the city street, seemingly following a prisoner, andaccompanied with two very ragged indecent-likeHighlandmen.  But therewas here a different ingredient; it was plain the girl thought I had beenprying in her secrets; and with my new clothes and sword, and atthe topof my new fortunes, this was more than I could swallow.  The beggar onhorseback could not bear to be thrust down so low, or, at least of it,not by thisyoung lady.I followed, accordingly, and took off my new hat to her the best that Iwas able.â\u0000\u0000Madam,â\u0000\u0000 said I, â\u0000\u0000I think it only fair to myself to let youunderstand Ihave no Gaelic.  It is true I was listening, for I have friends of my ownacross the Highland line, and the sound of that tongue comes friendly;but for"}

In theforeground on the left isa door leading to BERNICK'S business room;farther back in the same wall, a similar door. In the middle of theopposite wall is a large entrance-door, which leadsto the street. Thewall in the background is almost wholly composed of plate-glass; a doorin it opens upon a broad flight of steps which lead down to the garden;asun-awning is stretched over the steps. Below the steps a part of thegarden is visible, bordered by a fence with a small gate in it. On theother side of the fenceruns a street, the opposite side of which isoccupied by small wooden houses painted in bright colours. It issummer, and the sun is shining warmly. People areseen, every now andthen, passing along the street and stopping to talk to one another;others going in and out of a shop at the corner, etc.In the room agathering of ladies is seated round a table. MRS. BERNICKis presiding; on her left side are MRS. HOLT and her daughter NETTA,and next to them MRS. RUMMELand HILDA RUMMEL. On MRS. BERNICK'S rightare MRS. LYNGE, MARTHA BERNICK and DINA DORF. All the ladies are busyworking. On the table lie great piles oflinen garments and otherarticles of clothing, some half finished, and some merely cut out.Farther back, at a small table on which two pots of flowers and a glassofsugared water are standing, RORLUND is sitting, reading aloud from abook with gilt edges, but only loud enough for the spectators to catcha word now and then.Out in the garden OLAF BERNICK is running aboutand shooting at a target with a toy crossbow.After a moment AUNE comes in quietly through the door on theright.There is a slight interruption in the reading. MRS. BERNICK nods to himand points to the door on the left. AUNE goes quietly across, knockssoftly at the doorof BERNICK'S room, and after a moment's pause,knocks again. KRAP comes out of the room, with his hat in his hand andsome papers under his arm.)Krap: Oh, itwas you knocking?Aune: Mr. Bernick sent for me.Krap: He did--but he cannot see you. He has deputed me to tell you--Aune: Deputed you? All the same, I wouldmuch rather--Krap: --deputed me to tell you what he wanted to say to you. You mustgive up these Saturday lectures of yours to the men.Aune: Indeed? Isupposed I might use my own time--Krap: You must not use your own time in making the men useless inworking hours. Last Saturday you were talking to themof the harm thatwould be done to the workmen by our new machines and the new workingmethods at the yard. What makes you do that?Aune: I do it for thegood of the community.Krap: That's curious, because Mr. Bernick says it is disorganising thecommunity.Aune: My community is not Mr. Bernick's, Mr. Krap! AsPresident of theIndustrial Association, I must--Krap: You are, first and foremost, President of Mr. Bernick'sshipbuilding yard; and, before everything else, youhave to do yourduty to the community known as the firm of Bernick & Co.; that is whatevery one of us lives for. Well, now you know what Mr. Bernick had tosayto you.Aune: Mr. Bernick would not have put it that way, Mr. Krap! But I knowwell enough whom I have to thank for this. It is that damned Americanboat. Thosefellows expect to get work done here the way they areaccustomed to it over there, and that--Krap: Yes, yes, but I can't go into all these details. You knownowwhat Mr. Bernick means, and that is sufficient. Be so good as to goback to the yard; probably you are needed there. I shall be down myselfin a little while.--Excuse me, ladies! (Bows to the ladies and goesout through the garden and down the street. AUNE goes quietly out tothe right. RORLUND, who has continuedhis reading during the foregoingconversation, which has been carried on in low tones, has now come tothe end of the book, and shuts it with a bang.)Rorlund:There, my dear ladies, that is the end of it.Mrs. Rummel: What an instructive tale!Mrs. Holt: And such a good moral!Mrs. Bernick: A book like that really gives onesomething to thinkabout.Rorlund: Quite so; it presents a salutary contrast to what,unfortunately, meets our eyes every day in the newspapers andmagazines.Look at the gilded and painted exterior displayed by anylarge community, and think what it really conceals!--emptiness androttenness, if I may say so; nofoundation of morality beneath it. In aword, these large communities of ours now-a-days are whited sepulchres.Mrs. Holt: How true! How true!Mrs. Rummel: Andfor an example of it, we need look no farther than atthe crew of the American ship that is lying here just now.Rorlund: Oh, I would rather not speak of suchoffscourings of humanityas that. But even in higher circles--what is the case there? A spiritof doubt and unrest on all sides; minds never at peace, andinstabilitycharacterising all their behaviour. Look how completely family life isundermined over there! Look at their shameless love of casting doubt oneven themost serious truths!Dina (without looking up from her work): But are there not many bigthings done there too?Rorlund: Big things done--? I do notunderstand--.Mrs. Holt (in amazement): Good gracious, Dina--!Mrs. Rummel (in the same breath): Dina, how can you--?Rorlund: I think it would scarcely be agood thing for us if such \"bigthings\" became the rule here. No, indeed, we ought to be only toothankful that things are as they are in this country. It is trueenoughthat tares grow up amongst our wheat here too, alas; but we do our bestconscientiously to weed them out as well as we are able. The importantthing is tokeep society pure, ladies--to ward off all the hazardousexperiments that a restless age seeks to force upon us.Mrs. Holt: And there are more than enough of themin the wind,unhappily.Mrs. Rummel: Yes, you know last year we only by a hair's breadthescaped the project of having a railway here.Mrs. Bernick: Ah, myhusband prevented that.Rorlund: Providence, Mrs. Bernick. You may be certain that your husbandwas the instrument of a higher Power when he refused to haveanythingto do with the scheme.Mrs. Bernick: And yet they said such horrible things about him in thenewspapers! But we have quite forgotten to thank you, Mr.Rorlund. Itis really more than friendly of you to sacrifice so much of your timeto us.Rorlund: Not at all. This is holiday time, and--Mrs. Bernick: Yes, but it is asacrifice all the same, Mr. Rorlund.Rorlund (drawing his chair nearer): Don't speak of it, my dear lady.Are you not all of you making some sacrifice in a goodcause?--and thatwillingly and gladly? These poor fallen creatures for whose rescue weare working may be compared to soldiers wounded on the field ofbattle;you, ladies, are the kind-hearted sisters of mercy who prepare the lintfor these stricken ones, lay the bandages softly on their wounds, healthem and curethem.Mrs. Bernick: It must be a wonderful gift to be able to see everythingin such a beautiful light.Rorlund: A good deal of it is inborn in one--but it can be to agreatextent acquired, too. All that is needful is to see things in the lightof a serious mission in life. (To MARTHA:) What do you say, MissBernick? Have you not feltas if you were standing on firmer groundsince you gave yourself up to your school work?Martha: I really do not know what to say. There are times, when I aminthe schoolroom down there, that I wish I were far away out on thestormy seas.Rorlund: That is merely temptation, dear Miss Bernick. You ought toshut thedoors of your mind upon such disturbing guests as that. By the\"stormy seas\"--for of course you do not intend me to take your wordsliterally--you mean therestless tide of the great outer world, whereso many are shipwrecked. Do you really set such store on the life youhear rushing by outside? Only look out into thestreet. There they go,walking about in the heat of the sun, perspiring and tumbling aboutover their little affairs. No, we undoubtedly have the best of it, whoareable to sit here in the cool and turn our backs on the quarter fromwhich disturbance comes.Martha: Yes, I have no doubt you are perfectly right.Rorlund: And in ahouse like this, in a good and pure home, wherefamily life shows in its fairest colours--where peace and harmonyrule-- (To MRS. BERNICK:) What are youlistening to, Mrs. Bernick?Mrs. Bernick (who has turned towards the door of BERNICK'S room): Theyare talking very loud in there.Rorlund: Is there anythingparticular going on?Mrs. Bernick: I don't know. I can hear that there is somebody with myhusband.(HILMAR TONNESEN, smoking a cigar, appears in the doorwayon the right,but stops short at the sight of the company of ladies.)Hilmar: Oh, excuse me-- (Turns to go back.)Mrs. Bernick: No, Hilmar, come along in; you arenot disturbing us. Doyou want something?Hilmar: No, I only wanted to look in here--Good morning, ladies. (ToMRS. BERNICK:) Well, what is the result?Mrs.Bernick: Of what?Hilmar: Karsten has summoned a meeting, you know.Mrs. Bernick: Has he? What about?Hilmar:  Oh, it is this railway nonsense over again.Mrs.Rummel: Is it possible?Mrs. Bernick: Poor Karsten, is he to have more annoyance over that?Rorlund:  But how do you explain that, Mr. Tonnesen? You know thatlastyear Mr. Bernick made it perfectly clear that he would not have arailway here.Hilmar: Yes, that is what I thought, too; but I met Krap, hisconfidential clerk,and he told me that the railway project had beentaken up again, and that Mr. Bernick was in consultation with three ofour local capitalists.Mrs. Rummel: Ah, Iwas right in thinking I heard my husband's voice.Hilmar:  Of course Mr. Rummel is in it, and so are Sandstad and MichaelVigeland, \"Saint Michael\", as they callhim.Rorlund:  Ahem!Hilmar: I beg your pardon, Mr. Rorlund?Mrs. Bernick: Just when everything was so nice and peaceful.Hilmar: Well, as far as I am concerned,I have not the slightestobjection to their beginning their squabbling again. It will be alittle diversion, any way.Rorlund: I think we can dispense with that sort of"}

Among reading people generally, South as well as North,toname him is to conjure up a tall, slouching figure in homespun, whocarries a rifle as habitually as he does his hat, and who may tilt itsmuzzle toward a strangerbefore addressing him, the form of salutationbeing:\"Stop thar! Whut's you-unses name? Whar's you-uns a-goin' ter?\"Let us admit that there is just enough truthin this caricature to giveit a point that will stick. Our typical mountaineer is lank, he isalways unkempt, he is fond of toting a gun on his shoulder, and hiscuriosityabout a stranger's name and business is promptly, thoughpolitely, outspoken. For the rest, he is a man of mystery. The greatworld outside his mountains knowsalmost as little about him as he doesof it; and that is little indeed. News in order to reach him must be ofsuch widespread interest as fairly to fall from heaven;correspondingly,scarce any incidents of mountain life will leak out unless they be ofsensational nature, such as the shooting of a revenue officer inCarolina, themassacre of a Virginia court, or the outbreak of anotherfeud in \"bloody Breathitt.\" And so, from the grim sameness of suchreports, the world infers that battle,murder, and sudden death arecommonplaces in Appalachia.To be sure, in Miss Murfree's novels, as in those of John Fox, Jr., andof Alice MacGowan, we do meetcharacters more genial than feudists andillicit distillers; none the less, when we have closed the book, who isit that stands out clearest as type and pattern of themountaineer? Isit not he of the long rifle and peremptory challenge? And whether thisbe because he gets most of the limelight, or because we have a furtivelikingfor that sort of thing (on paper), or whether the armed outlaw beindeed a genuine protagonist--in any case, the Appalachian people remainin public estimationto-day, as Poe judged them, an uncouth and fiercerace of men, inhabiting a wild mountain region little known.The Southern highlands themselves are amysterious realm. When Iprepared, eight years ago, for my first sojourn in the Great SmokyMountains, which form the master chain of the Appalachian system,Icould find in no library a guide to that region. The most diligentresearch failed to discover so much as a magazine article, writtenwithin this generation, thatdescribed the land and its people. Nay,there was not even a novel or a story that showed intimate localknowledge. Had I been going to Teneriffe or Timbuctu, thelibrarieswould have furnished information a-plenty; but about this housetop ofeastern America they were strangely silent; it was _terra incognita_.On the map Icould see that the Southern Appalachians cover an area muchlarger than New England, and that they are nearer the center of ourpopulation than any othermountains that deserve the name. Why, then, solittle known? Quaintly there came to mind those lines familiar to myboyhood: \"Get you up this way southward,and go up into the mountain;and see the land, what it is; and the people that dwelleth therein,whether they be strong or weak, few or many; and what the land isthatthey dwell in, whether it be good or bad; and what cities they be thatthey dwell in, whether in tents, or in strongholds; and what the landis, whether it be fator lean, whether there be wood therein or not.\"In that dustiest room of a great library where \"pub. docs.\" are stored,I unearthed a government report on forestrythat gave, at last, a clearidea of the lay of the land. And here was news. We are wont to think ofthe South as a low country with sultry climate; yet its mountainchainsstretch uninterruptedly southwestward from Virginia to Alabama, 650miles in an air line. They spread over parts of eight contiguous States,and cover anarea somewhat larger than England and Scotland, or aboutthe same as that of the Alps. In short, the greatest mountain system ofeastern America is massed inour Southland. In its upper zone one sleepsunder blankets the year round.In all the region north of Virginia and east of the Black Hills ofDakota there is but onesummit (Mount Washington, in New Hampshire) thatreaches 6,000 feet above sea level, and there are only a dozen othersthat exceed 5,000 feet. By contrast,south of the Potomac there areforty-six peaks, and forty-one miles of dividing ridges, that rise above6,000 feet, besides 288 mountains and some 300 miles ofdivide thatstand more than 5,000 feet above the sea. In North Carolina alone themountains cover 6,000 square miles, with an _average_ elevation of 2,700feet,and with twenty-one peaks that overtop Mount Washington.I repeated to myself: \"Why, then, so little known?\" The Alps and theRockies, the Pyrennees and theHarz are more familiar to the Americanpeople, in print and picture, if not by actual visit, than are theBlack, the Balsam, and the Great Smoky Mountains. It is truethat summertourists flock to Asheville and Toxaway, Linville and Highlands, passingtheir time at modern hotels and motoring along a few macadamed roads,butwhat do they see of the billowy wilderness that conceals most of thenative homes? Glimpses from afar. What do they learn of the realmountaineer? Hearsay. For,mark you, nine-tenths of the Appalachianpopulation are a sequestered folk. The typical, the average mountainman prefers his native hills and his primitiveancient ways.We read more and talk more about the Filipinos, see more of the Chineseand the Syrians, than of these three million next-door Americans who areofcolonial ancestry and mostly of British stock. New York, we say, is acosmopolitan city; more Irish than in Dublin, more Germans than inMunich, more Italians thanin Rome, more Jews than in nine Jerusalems;but how many New Yorkers ever saw a Southern mountaineer? I am sure thata party of hillsmen fresh from the backsettlements of the Unakas, ifdropped on the streets of any large city in the Union, and left to theirown guidance, would stir up more comment (and probably moretrouble)than would a similar body of whites from any other quarter of the earth;and yet this same odd people is more purely bred from old American stockthanany other element of our population that occupies, by itself, sogreat a territory.The mountaineers of the South are marked apart from all other folks bydialect, bycustoms, by character, by self-conscious isolation. So trueis this that they call all outsiders \"furriners.\" It matters not whetheryour descent be from Puritan or"}

Manly Amusement: 230-243MARIUS THE EPICUREAN, VOLUME ONEPART THE FIRSTCHAPTER I: \"THE RELIGION OF NUMA\"[3] As, in thetriumph of Christianity, the old religion lingeredlatest in the country, and died out at last as but paganism--thereligion of the villagers, before the advance of theChristian Church;so, in an earlier century, it was in places remote from town-life thatthe older and purer forms of paganism itself had survived the longest.While,in Rome, new religions had arisen with bewildering complexityaround the dying old one, the earlier and simpler patriarchal religion,\"the religion of Numa,\" aspeople loved to fancy, lingered on withlittle change amid the pastoral life, out of the habits and sentimentof which so much of it had grown. Glimpses of such asurvival we maycatch below the merely artificial attitudes of Latin pastoral poetry;in Tibullus especially, who has preserved for us many poetic details ofoldRoman religious usage.     At mihi contingat patrios celebrare Penates,     Reddereque antiquo menstrua thura Lari:[4] --he prays, with unaffectedseriousness.  Something liturgical,with repetitions of a consecrated form of words, is traceable in one ofhis elegies, as part of the order of a birthdaysacrifice.  The hearth,from a spark of which, as one form of old legend related, the childRomulus had been miraculously born, was still indeed an altar; andtheworthiest sacrifice to the gods the perfect physical sanity of theyoung men and women, which the scrupulous ways of that religion of thehearth had tended tomaintain.  A religion of usages and sentimentrather than of facts and belief, and attached to very definite thingsand places--the oak of immemorial age, the rockon the heath fashionedby weather as if by some dim human art, the shadowy grove of ilex,passing into which one exclaimed involuntarily, in consecratedphrase,Deity is in this Place!  Numen Inest!--it was in natural harmony withthe temper of a quiet people amid the spectacle of rural life, likethat simpler faithbetween man and man, which Tibullus expresslyconnects with the period when, with an inexpensive worship, the oldwooden gods had been still pressed for roomin their homely littleshrines.And about the time when the dying Antoninus Pius ordered his goldenimage of Fortune to be carried into the chamber of his successor(nowabout to test the truth of the old Platonic contention, that the worldwould at last find itself [5] happy, could it detach some reluctantphilosophic student fromthe more desirable life of celestialcontemplation, and compel him to rule it), there was a boy living in anold country-house, half farm, half villa, who, for himself,recruitedthat body of antique traditions by a spontaneous force of religiousveneration such as had originally called them into being.  More than acentury and ahalf had past since Tibullus had written; but therestoration of religious usages, and their retention where they stillsurvived, was meantime come to be the fashionthrough the influence ofimperial example; and what had been in the main a matter of familypride with his father, was sustained by a native instinct of devotioninthe young Marius.  A sense of conscious powers external toourselves, pleased or displeased by the right or wrong conduct of everycircumstance of daily life--thatconscience, of which the old Romanreligion was a formal, habitual recognition, was become in him apowerful current of feeling and observance.  Theold-fashioned, partlypuritanic awe, the power of which Wordsworth noted and valued so highlyin a northern peasantry, had its counterpart in the feeling oftheRoman lad, as he passed the spot, \"touched of heaven,\" where thelightning had struck dead an aged labourer in the field: an uprightstone, still withmouldering garlands about it, marked the place.  Hebrought to that system of symbolic [6] usages, and they in turndeveloped in him further, a greatseriousness--an impressibility to thesacredness of time, of life and its events, and the circumstances offamily fellowship; of such gifts to men as fire, water, theearth, fromlabour on which they live, really understood by him as gifts--a senseof religious responsibility in the reception of them.  It was areligion for the mostpart of fear, of multitudinous scruples, of ayear-long burden of forms; yet rarely (on clear summer mornings, forinstance) the thought of those heavenly powersafforded a welcomechannel for the almost stifling sense of health and delight in him, andrelieved it as gratitude to the gods.The day of the \"little\" or privateAmbarvalia was come, to becelebrated by a single family for the welfare of all belonging to it,as the great college of the Arval Brothers officiated at Rome intheinterest of the whole state.  At the appointed time all work ceases;the instruments of labour lie untouched, hung with wreaths of flowers,while masters andservants together go in solemn procession along thedry paths of vineyard and cornfield, conducting the victims whose bloodis presently to be shed for thepurification from all natural orsupernatural taint of the lands they have \"gone about.\" The old Latinwords of the liturgy, to be said as the procession moved on itsway,though their precise meaning was long [7] since become unintelligible,were recited from an ancient illuminated roll, kept in the paintedchest in the hall,together with the family records.  Early on that daythe girls of the farm had been busy in the great portico, filling largebaskets with flowers plucked short frombranches of apple and cherry,then in spacious bloom, to strew before the quaint images of thegods--Ceres and Bacchus and the yet more mysterious Dea Dia--astheypassed through the fields, carried in their little houses on theshoulders of white-clad youths, who were understood to proceed to thisoffice in perfecttemperance, as pure in soul and body as the air theybreathed in the firm weather of that early summer-time.  The cleanlustral water and the full incense-boxwere carried after them.  Thealtars were gay with garlands of wool and the more sumptuous sort ofblossom and green herbs to be thrown into the sacrificialfire,fresh-gathered this morning from a particular plot in the old garden,set apart for the purpose.  Just then the young leaves were almost asfragrant as flowers,and the scent of the bean-fields mingledpleasantly with the cloud of incense.  But for the monotonousintonation of the liturgy by the priests, clad in their strange,stiff,antique vestments, and bearing ears of green corn upon their heads,secured by flowing bands of white, the procession moved in absolutestillness, allpersons, even the children, abstaining from [8] speechafter the utterance of the pontifical formula, Favetelinguis!--Silence!  Propitious Silence!--lest any wordssave thoseproper to the occasion should hinder the religious efficacy of the rite.With the lad Marius, who, as the head of his house, took a leading partin theceremonies of the day, there was a devout effort to completethis impressive outward silence by that inward tacitness of mind,esteemed so important by religiousRomans in the performance of thesesacred functions.  To him the sustained stillness without seemed reallybut to be waiting upon that interior, mental conditionof preparationor expectancy, for which he was just then intently striving.  Thepersons about him, certainly, had never been challenged by thoseprayers andceremonies to any ponderings on the divine nature: theyconceived them rather to be the appointed means of setting suchtroublesome movements at rest.  Bythem, \"the religion of Numa,\" sostaid, ideal and comely, the object of so much jealous conservatism,though of direct service as lending sanction to a sort ofhighscrupulosity, especially in the chief points of domestic conduct, wasmainly prized as being, through its hereditary character, somethinglike a personaldistinction--as contributing, among the otheraccessories of an ancient house, to the production of that aristocraticatmosphere which separated them fromnewly-made people.  But [9] in theyoung Marius, the very absence from those venerable usages of alldefinite history and dogmatic interpretation, had alreadyawakened muchspeculative activity; and to-day, starting from the actual details ofthe divine service, some very lively surmises, though scarcely distinctenough tobe thoughts, were moving backwards and forwards in his mind,as the stirring wind had done all day among the trees, and were likethe passing of somemysterious influence over all the elements of hisnature and experience.  One thing only distracted him--a certain pityat the bottom of his heart, and almost on hislips, for the sacrificialvictims and their looks of terror, rising almost to disgust at thecentral act of the sacrifice itself, a piece of everyday butcher'swork, such aswe decorously hide out of sight; though some then presentcertainly displayed a frank curiosity in the spectacle thus permittedthem on a religious pretext.

 LIFE AS A HOUSE WRITTEN BY MARK ANDRUS FADE IN:            A clock alarmSOUNDS over TITLES on BLACK.  We HEAR someone            clearing congested lungs, coughing up phlegm; a slight crash            STOPS both the cough and thealarm.            EXT. GEORGE'S BEACH SHACK - MORNING            The cottage is a tiny, peeling paint rat-trap set dead center            on a small oceanfront cul-de-sac, surrounded by four massive            post-modern mansions.            INT. GEORGE'S BEACH SHACK BEDROOM -MORNING            GEORGE NELSON, 42, squints and shivers as the spotty morning            light and ocean breeze enter through an openwindow.  Bold            waves crash against the cliffs outside the room.  A five-foot            wide stack of hand hewed beams are piled pyramidstyle,            making movement in the room next to impossible.  George            stands shirtless in underwear and coughs again.  He steps            over a pile oftools and stands at the window, facing the            sea.  A happy sounding tune by Guster, \"WHAT YOU WISH FOR,\"            begins with the lyrics: 'Woke uptoday, to everything gray            and all that I saw just keeps going on and on...'

MARCAS ***Produced by John Bickers, and DagnyZ. MARCASBy Honore DeBalzacTranslated by Clara Bell and Others                             DEDICATION  To His Highness Count William of Wurtemberg, as a token of the  Author's respectfulgratitude.                                                      DE BALZAC.Z. MARCASI never saw anybody, not even among the most remarkable men of theday, whoseappearance was so striking as this man's; the study of hiscountenance at first gave me a feeling of great melancholy, and at lastproduced an almost painfulimpression.There was a certain harmony between the man and his name. The Z.preceding Marcas, which was seen on the addresses of his letters, andwhich henever omitted from his signature, as the last letter of thealphabet, suggested some mysterious fatality.MARCAS! say this two-syllabled name again and again; doyou not feel asif it had some sinister meaning? Does it not seem to you that its ownermust be doomed to martyrdom? Though foreign, savage, the name hasaright to be handed down to posterity; it is well constructed, easilypronounced, and has the brevity that beseems a famous name. Is it notpleasant as well asodd? But does it not sound unfinished?I will not take it upon myself to assert that names have no influence onthe destiny of men. There is a certain secret andinexplicable concordor a visible discord between the events of a man's life and his namewhich is truly surprising; often some remote but very real correlationisrevealed. Our globe is round; everything is linked to everythingelse. Some day perhaps we shall revert to the occult sciences.Do you not discern in that letter Zan adverse influence? Does it notprefigure the wayward and fantastic progress of a storm-tossed life?What wind blew on that letter, which, whatever language wefind it in,begins scarcely fifty words? Marcas' name was Zephirin; Saint Zephirinis highly venerated in Brittany, and Marcas was a Breton.Study the name oncemore: Z Marcas! The man's whole life lies in thisfantastic juxtaposition of seven letters; seven! the most significant ofall the cabalistic numbers. And he died atfive-and-thirty, so his lifeextended over seven lustres.Marcas! Does it not hint of some precious object that is broken with afall, with or without a crash?I hadfinished studying the law in Paris in 1836. I lived at that timein the Rue Corneille in a house where none but students came to lodge,one of those large houseswhere there is a winding staircase quite atthe back lighted below from the street, higher up by borrowedlights, and at the top by a skylight. There were fortyfurnishedrooms--furnished as students' rooms are! What does youth demand morethan was here supplied? A bed, a few chairs, a chest of drawers,alooking-glass, and a table. As soon as the sky is blue the student openshis window.But in this street there are no fair neighbors to flirt with. In frontis the Odeon,long since closed, presenting a wall that is beginning togo black, its tiny gallery windows and its vast expanse of slate roof.I was not rich enough to have a goodroom; I was not even rich enoughto have a room to myself. Juste and I shared a double-bedded room on thefifth floor.On our side of the landing there were buttwo rooms--ours and a smallerone, occupied by Z. Marcas, our neighbor. For six months Juste and Iremained in perfect ignorance of the fact. The old woman whomanaged thehouse had indeed told us that the room was inhabited, but she had addedthat we should not be disturbed, that the occupant was exceedinglyquiet.In fact, for those six months, we never met our fellow-lodger,and we never heard a sound in his room, in spite of the thinness of thepartition that divided us--oneof those walls of lath and plaster whichare common in Paris houses.Our room, a little over seven feet high, was hung with a vile cheappaper sprigged with blue.The floor was painted, and knew nothing ofthe polish given by the _frotteur's_ brush. By our beds there was onlya scrap of thin carpet. The chimney openedimmediately to the roof, andsmoked so abominably that we were obliged to provide a stove at our ownexpense. Our beds were mere painted wooden cribs likethose in schools;on the chimney shelf there were but two brass candlesticks, with orwithout tallow candles in them, and our two pipes with some tobacco inapouch or strewn abroad, also the little piles of cigar-ash left there byour visitors or ourselves.A pair of calico curtains hung from the brass window rods, and oneachside of the window was a small bookcase in cherry-wood, such as everyone knows who has stared into the shop windows of the Quartier Latin,and in whichwe kept the few books necessary for our studies.The ink in the inkstand was always in the state of lava congealed in thecrater of a volcano. May not any inkstandnowadays become a Vesuvius?The pens, all twisted, served to clean the stems of our pipes; and, inopposition to all the laws of credit, paper was even scarcerthan coin.How can young men be expected to stay at home in such furnishedlodgings? The students studied in the cafes, the theatre, the Luxembourggardens, in_grisettes'_ rooms, even in the law schools--anywhere ratherthan in their horrible rooms--horrible for purposes of study, delightfulas soon as they were used forgossiping and smoking in. Put a cloth onthe table, and the impromptu dinner sent in from the best eating-housein the neighborhood--places for four--two of themin petticoats--showa lithograph of this \"Interior\" to the veriest bigot, and she will bebound to smile.We thought only of amusing ourselves. The reason for ourdissipation layin the most serious facts of the politics of the time. Juste and I couldnot see any room for us in the two professions our parents wished us totakeup. There are a hundred doctors, a hundred lawyers, for one that iswanted. The crowd is choking these two paths which are supposed to leadto fortune, but whichare merely two arenas; men kill each other there,fighting, not indeed with swords or fire-arms, but with intrigue andcalumny, with tremendous toil, campaigns inthe sphere of the intellectas murderous as those in Italy were to the soldiers of the Republic. Inthese days, when everything is an intellectual competition, a manmustbe able to sit forty-eight hours on end in his chair before a table, asa General could remain for two days on horseback and in his saddle.The throng ofaspirants has necessitated a division of the Faculty ofMedicine into categories. There is the physician who writes and thephysician who practises, the politicalphysician, and the physicianmilitant--four different ways of being a physician, four classes alreadyfilled up. As to the fifth class, that of physicians who sellremedies,there is such a competition that they fight each other with disgustingadvertisements on the walls of Paris.In all the law courts there are almost as manylawyers as there arecases. The pleader is thrown back on journalism, on politics, onliterature. In fact, the State, besieged for the smallest appointmentsunder thelaw, has ended by requiring that the applicants shouldhave some little fortune. The pear-shaped head of the grocer's son isselected in preference to the squareskull of a man of talent who hasnot a sou. Work as he will, with all his energy, a young man, startingfrom zero, may at the end of ten years find himself below thepointhe set out from. In these days, talent must have the good luck whichsecures success to the most incapable; nay, more, if it scorns the basecompromiseswhich insure advancement to crawling mediocrity, it willnever get on.If we thoroughly knew our time, we also knew ourselves, and we preferredthe indolence ofdreamers to aimless stir, easy-going pleasure to theuseless toil which would have exhausted our courage and worn out theedge of our intelligence. We hadanalyzed social life while smoking,laughing, and loafing. But, though elaborated by such means as these,our reflections were none the less judicious andprofound.While we were fully conscious of the slavery to which youth iscondemned, we were amazed at the brutal indifference of the authoritiesto everythingconnected with intellect, thought, and poetry. How oftenhave Juste and I exchanged glances when reading the papers as we studiedpolitical events, or thedebates in the Chamber, and discussed theproceedings of a Court whose wilful ignorance could find no parallel butin the platitude of the courtiers, the mediocrityof the men formingthe hedge round the newly-restored throne, all alike devoid of talent orbreadth of view, of distinction or learning, of influence or dignity!Couldthere be a higher tribute to the Court of Charles X. than thepresent Court, if Court it may be called? What a hatred of the countrymay be seen in thenaturalization of vulgar foreigners, devoid oftalent, who are enthroned in the Chamber of Peers! What a perversion ofjustice! What an insult to the distinguishedyouth, the ambitions nativeto the soil of France! We looked upon these things as upon a spectacle,and groaned over them, without taking upon ourselves toact.Juste, whom no one ever sought, and who never sought any one, was, atfive-and-twenty, a great politician, a man with a wonderful aptitude forapprehendingthe correlation between remote history and the facts of thepresent and of the future. In 1831, he told me exactly what would anddid happen--the murders, theconspiracies, the ascendency of the Jews,the difficulty of doing anything in France, the scarcity of talent inthe higher circles, and the abundance of intellect in thelowest ranks,where the finest courage is smothered under cigar ashes.What was to become of him? His parents wished him to be a doctor. But ifhe were a doctor,must he not wait twenty years for a practice? Youknow what he did? No? Well, he is a doctor; but he left France, he is inAsia. At this moment he is perhapssinking under fatigue in a desert, ordying of the lashes of a barbarous horde--or perhaps he is some Indianprince's prime minister.Action is my vocation. Leavinga civil college at the age of twenty, theonly way for me to enter the army was by enlisting as a common soldier;so, weary of the dismal outlook that lay before alawyer, I acquired theknowledge needed for a sailor. I imitate Juste, and keep out of France,where men waste, in the struggle to make way, the energy neededfor thenoblest works. Follow my example, friends; I am going where a man steershis destiny as he pleases.These great resolutions were formed in the little roomin thelodging-house in the Rue Corneille, in spite of our haunting the BalMusard, flirting with girls of the town, and leading a careless andapparently reckless life.Our plans and arguments long floated in theair.Marcas, our neighbor, was in some degree the guide who led us to themargin of the precipice or the torrent, whomade us sound it, and showedus beforehand what our fate would be if we let ourselves fall into it.It was he who put us on our guard against the time-bargains a"}

Young females breed when only three or fourmonths old.At this rate a pair of rats, breeding uninterruptedly andwithoutdeaths, would at the end of three years (18 generations) be increased to359,709,482 individuals.For centuries the world has been fighting rats withoutorganization andat the same time has been feeding them and building for them fortressesfor concealment. If we are to fight them on equal terms we mustdenythem food and hiding places. We must organize and unite to ridcommunities of these pests.

The common house mouse[1] and thebrown rat[2] (fig.1), too familiar to need description, are pests in nearly all parts ofthe country; while two other kinds of house rats, known as the blackrat[3] andthe roof rat,[4] are found within our borders.[Illustration: FIG. 1.--Brown rat.]Of these four introduced species--for none is native to America--thebrown rat is themost destructive, and, except the mouse, the mostnumerous and most widely distributed. Brought to America just beforethe Revolution, it has supplanted andnearly exterminated its lessrobust relative the black rat; and in spite of the constant warfare ofman has extended its range and steadily increased in numbers.Itsdominance is due to its great fecundity and its ability to adapt itselfto all sorts of surroundings. It breeds (in the middle part of theUnited States) six or moretimes a year and produces from 6 to 20 young(average 10) in a litter. Females breed when only 3 or 4 months old.Thus a pair, breeding uninterruptedly andwithout deaths, could in threeyears (18 generations) produce a posterity of 359,709,480 individuals.Mice and the black and roof rats produce smaller litters, butthe periodof gestation, about 21 days, and the number of litters are the same forall.Rats and mice are practically omnivorous, feeding upon all kinds ofanimal andvegetable matter. The brown rat makes its home in the openfield, the hedge row, and the river bank, as well as in stone walls,piers, and all kinds of buildings. Itdestroys grains when newlyplanted, while growing, and in the shock, stack, mow, crib, granary,mill, elevator, or ship's hold, and also in the bin and feed trough.Itinvades store and warehouse and destroys furs, laces, silks, carpets,leather goods, and groceries. It attacks fruits, vegetables, and meatsin the markets, anddestroys by pollution ten times as much as itactually eats. It destroys eggs and young poultry, and eats the eggs andyoung of song and game birds. It carriesdisease germs from house tohouse and bubonic plague from city to city. It causes disastrousconflagrations; floods houses by gnawing lead water pipes;ruinsartificial ponds and embankments by burrowing; and damages foundations,floors, doors, and furnishings of dwellings.Unlike the brown rat the black ratrarely migrates to the fields. It hasdisappeared from most parts of the Northern States, but is occasionallyfound in remote villages or farms. At our seaports itfrequently arriveson ships from abroad, but seldom becomes very numerous. The roof rat iscommon in many parts of the South, where it is a persistent pest incaneand rice fields. It maintains itself against the brown rat partlybecause of its habit of living in trees. The common house mouse by nomeans confines itsactivities to the inside of buildings, but is oftenfound in open fields, where its depredations in shock and stack are wellknown.Not only are mice and rats,especially the brown rat, a cause ofdestruction and damage to property, but they are also a constant menaceto the health of man. It has been proved that theyare the chief meansof perpetuating and transmitting bubonic plague and that they playimportant rôles in conveying other diseases to human beings. Theyareparasites, without redeeming characteristics, and should everywhere berouted and destroyed.PROTECTION OF FOOD AND OTHER STORES FROM RATS ANDMICE.Past attempts to exterminate rats and mice have failed, not so muchbecause of lack of effective means as because of the neglect ofnecessary precautionsand the absence of concerted endeavors. We haverendered our work abortive by continuing to provide subsistence andhiding places for the animals. If theseadvantages are denied,persistent and general use of the usual methods of destruction willprove far more successful.RAT-PROOF BUILDING.First in importance, asa measure of rat repression, is the exclusion ofthe animals from places where they find food and safe retreats forrearing their young.The best way to keep ratsfrom buildings, whether in city or in country,is to use cement in construction. As the advantages of this material arecoming to be generally understood, its use israpidly extending to allkinds of buildings. The processes of mixing and laying this materialrequire little skill or special knowledge, and workmen ofordinaryintelligence can successfully follow the plain directions contained inhandbooks of cement construction.[5]Many modern public buildings are so constructedthat rats can find nolodgment in the walls or foundations, and yet in a few years, throughnegligence, such buildings often become infested with thepests.Sometimes drain pipes are left uncovered for hours at a time. Oftenouter doors, especially those opening on alleys, are left ajar. A commonmistake isfailure to screen basement windows which must be opened forventilation. However the intruders are admitted, when once inside theyintrench themselves behindfurniture or stores, and are difficult todislodge. The addition of inner doors to vestibules is an importantprecaution against rats. The lower edge of outer doors topublicbuildings, especially markets, should be reinforced with light metalplates to prevent the animals from gnawing through. Any opening leftaround water,steam, or gas pipes, where they go through walls, shouldbe closed carefully with concrete to the full depth of the wall.=Dwellings.=--In constructing dwellinghouses the additional cost ofmaking the foundations rat-proof is slight compared with the advantages.The cellar walls should have concrete footings, and thewalls themselvesshould be laid in cement mortar. The cellar floor should be of mediumrather than lean concrete. Even old cellars may be made rat-proofatcomparatively small expense. Rat holes may be permanently closed with amixture of cement, sand, and broken glass, or sharp bits of crockery orstone.On afoundation like the one described above, the walls of a woodendwelling also may be made rat-proof. The space between the sheathing andlath, to the height ofabout a foot, should be filled with concrete.Rats can not then gain access to the walls, and can enter the dwellingonly through doors or windows. Screening allbasement and cellar windowswith wire netting is a most necessary precaution.=Old buildings in cities.=--Aside from old dwellings, the chief refugesfor rats incities are sewers, wharves, stables, and outbuildings.Modern sewers are used by the animals merely as highways and not asabodes, but old-fashioned bricksewers often afford nesting crannies.[Illustration: FIG. 2.--Rat-proofing a frame dwelling by concrete sidewall (United States Public Health Service, New Orleans,La., 1914).]Wharves, stables, and outbuildings in cities should be so built as toexclude rats. Cement is the chief means to this end. Old tumble-downbuildings andwharves should not be tolerated in any city. (See fig. 2.)In both city and country, wooden floors of sidewalks, areas, and porchesare commonly laid upon timbersresting on the ground. Under such floorsrats have a safe retreat from nearly all enemies. The conditions can beremedied in towns by municipal action requiringthat these floors bereplaced by others made of cement. Areas or walks made of brick areoften undermined by rats and may become as objectionable as thoseofwood. Wooden floors of porches should always be well above the ground.=Farm buildings.=--Granaries, corncribs, and poultry houses may be maderat-proof bya liberal use of cement in the foundations and floors; orthe floors may be of wood resting upon concrete. Objection has beenurged against concrete floors for"}

He studied jurisprudence at Prague and Graz, and in1857 became a teacher at the latter university. He published severalhistorical works, butsoon gave up his academic career to devotehimself wholly to literature. For a number of years he edited theinternational review, _Auf der Hohe_, at Leipzig, butlater removed toParis, for he was always strongly Francophile. His last years he spentat Lindheim in Hesse, Germany, where he died on March 9, 1895. In 1873hemarried Aurora von Rumelin, who wrote a number of novels under thepseudonym of Wanda von Dunajew, which it is interesting to note is thename of the heroineof _Venus in Furs_. Her sensational memoirs whichhave been the cause of considerable controversy were published in 1906.During his career as writer an endlessnumber of works poured fromSacher-Masoch's pen. Many of these were works of ephemeral journalism,and some of them unfortunately pure sensationalism, foreconomicnecessity forced him to turn his pen to unworthy ends.There is, however, a residue among his works which has a distinctliterary and even greaterpsychological value. His principal literaryambition was never completely fulfilled. It was a somewhatprogrammatic plan to give a picture of contemporary life in allitsvarious aspects and interrelations under the general title of the_Heritage of Cain_. This idea was probably derived from Balzac's_Comedie Humaine_. The wholewas to be divided into six subdivisionswith the general titles _Love, Property, Money, The State, War,_ and_Death_. Each of these divisions in its turn consisted ofsix novels,of which the last was intended to summarize the author's conclusionsand to present his solution for the problems set in the others.This extensive planremained unachieved, and only the first two parts,_Love_ and _Property_, were completed. Of the other sections onlyfragments remain. The present novel,_Venus in Furs_, forms the fifthin the series, _Love_.The best of Sacher-Masoch's work is characterized by a swiftnarration and a graphic representation ofcharacter and scene and arich humor. The latter has made many of his shorter stories dealingwith his native Galicia little masterpieces of local color.There is,however, another element in his work which has caused hisname to become as eponym for an entire series of phenomena at one endof the psycho-sexual scale.This gives his productions a peculiarpsychological value, though it cannot be denied also a morbid tingethat makes them often repellent. However, it is well toremember thatnature is neither good nor bad, neither altruistic nor egoistic, andthat it operates through the human psyche as well as through crystalsand plantsand animals with the same inexorable laws.Sacher-Masoch was the poet of the anomaly now generally known as_masochism_. By this is meant the desire on thepart of the individualaffected of desiring himself completely and unconditionally subject tothe will of a person of the opposite sex, and being treated by thispersonas by a master, to be humiliated, abused, and tormented, evento the verge of death. This motive is treated in all its innumerablevariations. As a creative artistSacher-Masoch was, of course, on thequest for the absolute, and sometimes, when impulses in the humanbeing assume an abnormal or exaggerated form, thereis just for amoment a flash that gives a glimpse of the thing in itself.If any defense were needed for the publication of work likeSacher-Masoch's it is well toremember that artists are the historiansof the human soul and one might recall the wise and tolerant Montaigne'sessay _On the Duty of Historians_ where hesays, \"One may cover oversecret actions, but to be silent on what all the world knows, and thingswhich have had effects which are public and of so muchconsequence is aninexcusable defect.\"And the curious interrelation between cruelty and sex, again andagain, creeps into literature. Sacher-Masoch has notcreated anythingnew in this. He has simply taken an ancient motive and developed itfrankly and consciously, until, it seems, there is nothing further tosay on thesubject. To the violent attacks which his books met hereplied in a polemical work, _Ã\u0000ber den Wert der Kritik_.It would be interesting to trace the masochistictendency as it occursthroughout literature, but no more can be done than just to allude toa few instances. The theme recurs continually in the _Confessions_ofJean Jacques Rousseau; it explains the character of the chevalier inPrévost's _Manon l'Escault_. Scenes of this nature are found in Zola's_Nana_, in ThomasOtway's _Venice Preserved_, in Albert Juhelle's _LesPecheurs d'Hommes_, in Dostojevski. In disguised and unrecognized formit constitutes the undercurrent ofmuch of the sentimental literatureof the present day, though in most cases the authors as well as thereaders are unaware of the pathological elements out ofwhich theircharacters are built.In all these strange and troubled waters of the human spirit one mightwish for something of the serene and simple attitude of theancientworld. Laurent Tailhade has an admirable passage in his _Platres etMarbres_, which is well worth reproducing in this connection:\"Toutefois, les Hellènes,dans, leurs cités de lumière, de douceuret d'harmonie, avaient une indulgence qu'on peut nommer scientifiquepour les troubles amoureux de l'esprit. S'ils neregardaient pasl'aliéné comme en proie a la visitation d'un dieu (idée orientale etfataliste), du moins ils savaient que l'amour est une sorted'envoûtement,une folie où se manifeste l'animosité des puissancescosmiques. Plus tard, le christianisme enveloppa les âmes deténèbres. Ce fut la grande nuit.L'Ã\u0000glise condamna tout ce qui luiparût neuf ou menaçant pour les dogmes implaçable qui reduisaient lemonde en esclavage.\"Among Sacher-Masoch'sworks, _Venus in Furs_ is one of the mosttypical and outstanding. In spite of melodramatic elements and otherliterary faults, it is unquestionably a sincere work,written withoutany idea of titillating morbid fancies. One feels that in the heromany subjective elements have been incorporated, which are adisadvantage to thework from the point of view of literature, but onthe other hand raise the book beyond the sphere of art, pure andsimple, and make it one of those appallinghuman documents whichbelong, part to science and part to psychology. It is the confessionof a deeply unhappy man who could not master his personal tragedyofexistence, and so sought to unburden his soul in writing down thethings he felt and experienced. The reader who will approach the bookfrom this angle and whowill honestly put aside moral prejudices andprepossessions will come away from the perusal of this book with adeeper understanding of this poor miserable soulof ours and a lightwill be cast into dark places that lie latent in all of us.Sacher-Masoch's works have held an established position in Europeanletters for somethinglike half a century, and the author himself wasmade a chevalier of the Legion of Honor by the French Government in1883, on the occasion of his literary jubilee.When several years agocheap reprints were brought out on the Continent and attempts weremade by various guardians of morality--they exist in all countries--tohave them suppressed, the judicial decisions were invariablyagainst the plaintiff and in favor of the publisher. Are Americanschildren that they must be protectedfrom books which any Europeanschool-boy can purchase whenever he wishes? However, such seems to bethe case, and this translation, which has long been inpreparation,consequently appears in a limited edition printed for subscribersonly. In another connection Herbert Spencer once used these words:\"The ultimateresult of shielding men from the effects of folly, is tofill the world with fools.\" They have a very pointed application inthe case of a work like _Venus in Furs_.F.S.Atlantic CityApril, 1921VENUS IN FURS  _\"But the Almighty Lord hath struck him,  and hath delivered him into the hands of  a woman.\"_--The Vulgate, Judith,xvi. 7.My company was charming.Opposite me by the massive Renaissance fireplace sat Venus; she wasnot a casual woman of the half-world, who under thispseudonym wageswar against the enemy sex, like Mademoiselle Cleopatra, but the real,true goddess of love.She sat in an armchair and had kindled a cracklingfire, whosereflection ran in red flames over her pale face with its white eyes,and from time to time over her feet when she sought to warm them.Her head waswonderful in spite of the dead stony eyes; it was allI could see of her. She had wrapped her marble-like body in a hugefur, and rolled herself up trembling like acat.\"I don't understand it,\" I exclaimed, \"It isn't really cold anylonger. For two weeks past we have had perfect spring weather. Youmust be nervous.\"\"Muchobliged for your spring,\" she replied with a low stony voice,and immediately afterwards sneezed divinely, twice in succession. \"Ireally can't stand it here muchlonger, and I am beginning tounderstand--\"\"What, dear lady?\"\"I am beginning to believe the unbelievable and to understand theun-understandable. All of asudden I understand the Germanic virtue ofwoman, and German philosophy, and I am no longer surprised that you ofthe North do not know how to love, haven'teven an idea of what loveis.\"\"But, madame,\" I replied flaring up, \"I surely haven't given you anyreason.\"\"Oh, you--\" The divinity sneezed for the third time, andshruggedher shoulders with inimitable grace. \"That's why I have always beennice to you, and even come to see you now and then, although I catcha cold everytime, in spite of all my furs. Do you remember the firsttime we met?\"\"How could I forget it,\" I said. \"You wore your abundant hair inbrown curls, and you hadbrown eyes and a red mouth, but I recognizedyou immediately by the outline of your face and its marble-likepallor--you always wore a violet-blue velvet jacketedged withsquirrel-skin.\"\"You were really in love with the costume, and awfully docile.\"\"You have taught me what love is. Your serene form of worship letmeforget two thousand years.\"\"And my faithfulness to you was without equal!\"\"Well, as far as faithfulness goes--\"\"Ungrateful!\"\"I will not reproach you withanything. You are a divine woman, butnevertheless a woman, and like every woman cruel in love.\"\"What you call cruel,\" the goddess of love replied eagerly,"}

Wells [1898]IThe Time Traveller(for so it will be convenient to speak of him)was expounding a recondite matter to us. His grey eyes shone andtwinkled, and his usually pale face was flushed andanimated. Thefire burned brightly, and the soft radiance of the incandescentlights in the lilies of silver caught the bubbles that flashed andpassed in our glasses.Our chairs, being his patents, embraced andcaressed us rather than submitted to be sat upon, and there was thatluxurious after-dinner atmosphere whenthought roams gracefullyfree of the trammels of precision. And he put it to us in thisway--marking the points with a lean forefinger--as we sat and lazilyadmiredhis earnestness over this new paradox (as we thought it)and his fecundity.'You must follow me carefully. I shall have to controvert one or twoideas that arealmost universally accepted. The geometry, forinstance, they taught you at school is founded on a misconception.''Is not that rather a large thing to expect us tobegin upon?'said Filby, an argumentative person with red hair.'I do not mean to ask you to accept anything without reasonableground for it. You will soon admitas much as I need from you. Youknow of course that a mathematical line, a line of thickness _nil_,has no real existence. They taught you that? Neither hasamathematical plane. These things are mere abstractions.''That is all right,' said the Psychologist.'Nor, having only length, breadth, and thickness, can a cubehave areal existence.''There I object,' said Filby. 'Of course a solid body may exist. Allreal things--''So most people think. But wait a moment. Can an_instantaneous_cube exist?''Don't follow you,' said Filby.'Can a cube that does not last for any time at all, have a realexistence?'Filby became pensive. 'Clearly,'the Time Traveller proceeded, 'anyreal body must have extension in _four_ directions: it must haveLength, Breadth, Thickness, and--Duration. But through anaturalinfirmity of the flesh, which I will explain to you in a moment, weincline to overlook this fact. There are really four dimensions,three which we call the threeplanes of Space, and a fourth, Time.There is, however, a tendency to draw an unreal distinction betweenthe former three dimensions and the latter, because ithappens thatour consciousness moves intermittently in one direction along thelatter from the beginning to the end of our lives.''That,' said a very young man,making spasmodic efforts to relighthis cigar over the lamp; 'that ... very clear indeed.''Now, it is very remarkable that this is so extensively overlooked,'continuedthe Time Traveller, with a slight accession ofcheerfulness. 'Really this is what is meant by the Fourth Dimension,though some people who talk about the FourthDimension do not knowthey mean it. It is only another way of looking at Time. _There isno difference between Time and any of the three dimensions ofSpaceexcept that our consciousness moves along it_. But some foolishpeople have got hold of the wrong side of that idea. You have allheard what they have tosay about this Fourth Dimension?''_I_ have not,' said the Provincial Mayor.'It is simply this. That Space, as our mathematicians have it, isspoken of as havingthree dimensions, which one may call Length,Breadth, and Thickness, and is always definable by reference tothree planes, each at right angles to the others. Butsomephilosophical people have been asking why _three_ dimensionsparticularly--why not another direction at right angles to the otherthree?--and have eventried to construct a Four-Dimension geometry.Professor Simon Newcomb was expounding this to the New YorkMathematical Society only a month or so ago. Youknow how on a flatsurface, which has only two dimensions, we can represent a figure ofa three-dimensional solid, and similarly they think that by modelsof threedimensions they could represent one of four--if they couldmaster the perspective of the thing. See?''I think so,' murmured the Provincial Mayor; and, knittinghisbrows, he lapsed into an introspective state, his lips moving as onewho repeats mystic words. 'Yes, I think I see it now,' he said aftersome time, brightening ina quite transitory manner.'Well, I do not mind telling you I have been at work upon thisgeometry of Four Dimensions for some time. Some of my resultsarecurious. For instance, here is a portrait of a man at eightyears old, another at fifteen, another at seventeen, another attwenty-three, and so on. All these areevidently sections, as itwere, Three-Dimensional representations of his Four-Dimensionedbeing, which is a fixed and unalterable thing.'Scientific people,'proceeded the Time Traveller, after the pauserequired for the proper assimilation of this, 'know very well thatTime is only a kind of Space. Here is a popularscientific diagram,a weather record. This line I trace with my finger shows themovement of the barometer. Yesterday it was so high, yesterday nightit fell, thenthis morning it rose again, and so gently upward tohere. Surely the mercury did not trace this line in any of thedimensions of Space generally recognized? Butcertainly it tracedsuch a line, and that line, therefore, we must conclude was alongthe Time-Dimension.''But,' said the Medical Man, staring hard at a coal in thefire, 'ifTime is really only a fourth dimension of Space, why is it, and whyhas it always been, regarded as something different? And why cannotwe move in Time aswe move about in the other dimensions of Space?'The Time Traveller smiled. 'Are you sure we can move freely inSpace? Right and left we can go, backward andforward freely enough,and men always have done so. I admit we move freely in twodimensions. But how about up and down? Gravitation limits us there.''Notexactly,' said the Medical Man. 'There are balloons.''But before the balloons, save for spasmodic jumping and theinequalities of the surface, man had no freedomof verticalmovement.''Still they could move a little up and down,' said the Medical Man.'Easier, far easier down than up.''And you cannot move at all in Time, youcannot get away from thepresent moment.''My dear sir, that is just where you are wrong. That is just wherethe whole world has gone wrong. We are alwaysgetting away from thepresent moment. Our mental existences, which are immaterial and haveno dimensions, are passing along the Time-Dimension with auniformvelocity from the cradle to the grave. Just as we should travel _down_if we began our existence fifty miles above the earth's surface.''But the greatdifficulty is this,' interrupted the Psychologist.'You _can_ move about in all directions of Space, but you cannotmove about in Time.''That is the germ of my greatdiscovery. But you are wrong to saythat we cannot move about in Time. For instance, if I am recallingan incident very vividly I go back to the instant of itsoccurrence:I become absent-minded, as you say. I jump back for a moment. Ofcourse we have no means of staying back for any length of Time, anymore than asavage or an animal has of staying six feet above theground. But a civilized man is better off than the savage in thisrespect. He can go up against gravitation in aballoon, and whyshould he not hope that ultimately he may be able to stop oraccelerate his drift along the Time-Dimension, or even turn aboutand travel theother way?''Oh, _this_,' began Filby, 'is all--''Why not?' said the Time Traveller.'It's against reason,' said Filby.'What reason?' said the Time Traveller.'You canshow black is white by argument,' said Filby, 'but you willnever convince me.''Possibly not,' said the Time Traveller. 'But now you begin to seethe object of myinvestigations into the geometry of FourDimensions. Long ago I had a vague inkling of a machine--''To travel through Time!' exclaimed the Very Young Man.'Thatshall travel indifferently in any direction of Space and Time,as the driver determines.'Filby contented himself with laughter.'But I have experimental verification,'said the Time Traveller.'It would be remarkably convenient for the historian,' thePsychologist suggested. 'One might travel back and verify theaccepted account ofthe Battle of Hastings, for instance!''Don't you think you would attract attention?' said the Medical Man.'Our ancestors had no great tolerance foranachronisms.''One might get one's Greek from the very lips of Homer and Plato,'the Very Young Man thought.'In which case they would certainly plough you forthe Little-go.The German scholars have improved Greek so much.''Then there is the future,' said the Very Young Man. 'Just think!One might invest all one'smoney, leave it to accumulate atinterest, and hurry on ahead!''To discover a society,' said I, 'erected on a strictly communisticbasis.''Of all the wild extravaganttheories!' began the Psychologist.'Yes, so it seemed to me, and so I never talked of it until--''Experimental verification!' cried I. 'You are going toverify_that_?''The experiment!' cried Filby, who was getting brain-weary.'Let's see your experiment anyhow,' said the Psychologist, 'thoughit's all humbug, youknow.'The Time Traveller smiled round at us. Then, still smiling faintly,and with his hands deep in his trousers pockets, he walked slowlyout of the room, and weheard his slippers shuffling down the longpassage to his laboratory.The Psychologist looked at us. 'I wonder what he's got?''Some sleight-of-hand trick or other,'said the Medical Man, andFilby tried to tell us about a conjurer he had seen at Burslem; butbefore he had finished his preface the Time Traveller came back,andFilby's anecdote collapsed.The thing the Time Traveller held in his hand was a glitteringmetallic framework, scarcely larger than a small clock, andverydelicately made. There was ivory in it, and some transparentcrystalline substance. And now I must be explicit, for this thatfollows--unless his explanation isto be accepted--is an absolutelyunaccountable thing. He took one of the small octagonal tables thatwere scattered about the room, and set it in front of the fire,withtwo legs on the hearthrug. On this table he placed the mechanism.Then he drew up a chair, and sat down. The only other object on thetable was a smallshaded lamp, the bright light of which fell uponthe model. There were also perhaps a dozen candles about, two inbrass candlesticks upon the mantel and severalin sconces, so thatthe room was brilliantly illuminated. I sat in a low arm-chairnearest the fire, and I drew this forward so as to be almost betweenthe TimeTraveller and the fireplace. Filby sat behind him, lookingover his shoulder. The Medical Man and the Provincial Mayor watchedhim in profile from the right, thePsychologist from the left. TheVery Young Man stood behind the Psychologist. We were all on thealert. It appears incredible to me that any kind of trick,howeversubtly conceived and however adroitly done, could have been playedupon us under these conditions.The Time Traveller looked at us, and then at the"}

STRATTON TO HISSON§ 1I want very much to set down my thoughts and my experiences of life. Iwant to do so now that I have come to middle age and now that myattitudes areall defined and my personal drama worked out I feel thatthe toil of writing and reconsideration may help to clear and fix manythings that remain a little uncertainin my thoughts because they havenever been fully stated, and I want to discover any lurkinginconsistencies and unsuspected gaps. And I have a story. I havelivedthrough things that have searched me. I want to tell that story as wellas I can while I am still a clear-headed and active man, and while manydetails thatmay presently become blurred and altered are still rawlyfresh in my mind. And to one person in particular do I wish to think Iam writing, and that is to you, myonly son. I want to write my storynot indeed to the child you are now, but to the man you are going to be.You are half my blood and temperamentally altogethermine. A day willcome when you will realize this, and want to know how life has gone withme, and then it may be altogether too late for me to answeryourenquiries. I may have become inaccessible as old people are sometimesinaccessible. And so I think of leaving this book for you--at any rate,I shall write it asif I meant to leave it for you. Afterwards I canconsider whether I will indeed leave it....The idea of writing such a book as this came to me first as I sat by thedeadbody of your grandfather--my father. It was because I wanted sogreatly such a book from him that I am now writing this. He died, youmust know, only a fewmonths ago, and I went to his house to bury himand settle all his affairs.At one time he had been my greatest friend. He had never indeed talkedto me abouthimself or his youth, but he had always showed anextraordinary sympathy and helpfulness for me in all the confusion andperplexities into which I fell. This did notlast to the end of hislife. I was the child of his middle years, and suddenly, in a year orless, the curtains of age and infirmity fell between us. There came anillness,an operation, and he rose from it ailing, suffering, dwarfedand altogether changed. Of all the dark shadows upon life I think thatchange through illness andorganic decay in the thoughts and spirits ofthose who are dear and close to us is the most evil and distressing andinexplicable. Suddenly he was a changeling, abeing querulous andpitiful, needing indulgence and sacrifices.In a little while a new state of affairs was established. I ceased toconsider him as a man to whomone told things, of whom one could expecthelp or advice. We all ceased to consider him at all in that way. Wehumored him, put pleasant things before him,concealed whatever wasdisagreeable. A poor old man he was indeed in those concluding years,weakly rebellious against the firm kindliness of my cousin,hishousekeeper and nurse. He who had once been so alert was now at timesastonishingly apathetic. At times an impish malice I had never known inhim beforegleamed in little acts and speeches. His talk rambled, andfor the most part was concerned with small, long-forgotten contentions.It was indistinct and difficult tofollow because of a recent loss ofteeth, and he craved for brandy, to restore even for a moment the senseof strength and well-being that ebbed and ebbed awayfrom him. So thatwhen I came to look at his dead face at last, it was with something likeamazement I perceived him grave and beautiful--more grave andbeautifulthan he had been even in the fullness of life.All the estrangement of the final years was wiped in an instant from mymind as I looked upon his face. Therecame back a rush of memories, ofkind, strong, patient, human aspects of his fatherhood. And I rememberedas every son must remember--even you, my dear,will some day rememberbecause it is in the very nature of sonship--insubordinations,struggles, ingratitudes, great benefits taken unthankfully, slightsanddisregards. It was not remorse I felt, nor repentance, but a tremendousregret that so things had happened and that life should be so. Why isit, I thought, thatwhen a son has come to manhood he cannot take hisfather for a friend? I had a curious sense of unprecedented communionas I stood beside him now. I felt thathe understood my thoughts; hisface seemed to answer with an expression of still and sympatheticpatience.I was sensible of amazing gaps. We had never talkedtogether of love,never of religion.All sorts of things that a man of twenty-eight would not dream of hidingfrom a coeval he had hidden from me. For some days Ihad to remain inhis house, I had to go through his papers, handle all those intimatepersonal things that accumulate around a human being year byyear--letters,yellowing scraps of newspaper, tokens, relics kept,accidental vestiges, significant litter. I learnt many things I hadnever dreamt of. At times I doubted whether Iwas not prying, whether Iought not to risk the loss of those necessary legal facts I sought, andburn these papers unread. There were love letters, and manysuchtouching things.My memories of him did not change because of these new lights, but theybecame wonderfully illuminated. I realized him as a young man, Ibeganto see him as a boy. I found a little half-bound botanical book withstencil-tinted illustrations, a good-conduct prize my father had won athis preparatoryschool; a rolled-up sheet of paper, carbonized and dryand brittle, revealed itself as a piece of specimen writing, stiff withboyish effort, decorated in ambitious andfaltering flourishes and stillbetraying the pencil rulings his rubber should have erased. Already yourwriting is better than that. And I found a daguerreotypeportrait of himin knickerbockers against a photographer's stile. His face then was notunlike yours. I stood with that in my hand at the little bureau in hisbedroom,and looked at his dead face.The flatly painted portrait of his father, my grandfather, hangingthere in the stillness above the coffin, looking out on the world hehadleft with steady, humorous blue eyes that followed one about theroom,--that, too, was revivified, touched into reality and participationby this and that,became a living presence at a conference of lives.Things of his were there also in that life's accumulation....There we were, three Strattons together, and down inthe dining-roomwere steel engravings to take us back two generations further, and wehad all lived full lives, suffered, attempted, signified. I had aglimpse of thelong successions of mankind. What a huge inaccessiblelumber-room of thought and experience we amounted to, I thought; howmuch we are, how little wetransmit. Each one of us was but a variation,an experiment upon the Stratton theme. All that I had now under my handswas but the merest hints and vestiges,moving and surprising indeed, butcasual and fragmentary, of those obliterated repetitions. Man is acreature becoming articulate, and why should those men haveleft so muchof the tale untold--to be lost and forgotten? Why must we all repeatthings done, and come again very bitterly to wisdom our fathers haveachievedbefore us? My grandfather there should have left me somethingbetter than the still enigma of his watching face. All my life so farhas gone in learning verypainfully what many men have learnt before me;I have spent the greater part of forty years in finding a sort ofpurpose for the uncertain and declining decadesthat remain. Is it nottime the generations drew together and helped one another? Cannot webegin now to make a better use of the experiences of life so thatoursons may not waste themselves so much, cannot we gather into books thatmen may read in an hour or so the gist of these confused andmultitudinous realitiesof the individual career? Surely the time iscoming for that, when a new private literature will exist, and fathersand mothers behind their rôles of rulers,protectors, and supporters,will prepare frank and intimate records of their thought and theirfeeling, told as one tells things to equals, without authority orreservesor discretions, so that, they being dead, their children mayrediscover them as contemporaries and friends.That desire for self-expression is indeed already almostan instinctwith many of us. Man is disposed to create a traditional wisdom. For methis book I contemplate is a need. I am just a year and a half from abittertragedy and the loss of a friend as dear as life to me. It isvery constantly in my mind. She opened her mind to me as few people opentheir minds to anyone. In away, little Stephen, she died for you. And Iam so placed that I have no one to talk to quite freely about her. Theone other person to whom I talk, I cannot talk toabout her; it isstrange, seeing how we love and trust one another, but so it is; youwill understand that the better as this story unfolds. For eight longyears beforethe crisis that culminated in her tragic death I never sawher; yet, quite apart from the shock and distresses of that time, it hasleft me extraordinarily lonely anddesolate.And there was a kind of dreadful splendor in that last act of hers,which has taken a great hold upon my imagination; it has interwoven witheverythingelse in my mind, it bears now upon every question. I cannotget away from it, while it is thus pent from utterance.... Perhapshaving written this to you I maynever show it you or leave it for youto see. But yet I must write it. Of all conceivable persons you, whenyou have grown to manhood, are the most likely tounderstand.§ 2You did not come to see your dead grandfather, nor did you know verymuch about the funeral. Nowadays we do not bring the sweet egotisms,"}

There's no trip so horrible that           someone won't take it. The idea of the           unrecognized genius slaving awayin a           garret is a deliciously foolish one. We           must credit the life of Vincent Van Gogh           for really sending this myth into orbit.           How manypictures did he sell? One? He           couldn't give them away. We are so ashamed           of his life that the rest of art history           will be retribution for VanGogh's neglect.

Moist          FLESH FLAPPING accompaniment. Someoneis beating off.          A pause as the someone turns the page of a magazine.          The beating off resumes at a quickened pace. The SQUEAKING of          bedsprings joins in.          Another page is turned. Feverish THUMPING until a MALE VOICE          lets out a quiet MOAN.          The breathing gradually slows tonormal and lets out a          relieved sigh of finality.                              NICK (V.O.)                    My name... is Nick.          NICK TWISP, 16, stares upat the ceiling. He's glassy eyed          from the exertion...          INT.

He pulls          the drawer under his mattress out.                              NICK(V.O.)                    The next thing you should know                    about me is that I am obsessed with                    sex.          A view of the drawer revealsit to be filled with neatly          filed issues of Penthouse and Hustler. He puts the most          recently utilized magazine in its place.

Thus any farther solicitude on the partof the writer becomes unnecessary at least, if not an intrusion: and ifthe piece has been condemned in theperformance, I fear an address tothe closet, like an appeal to posterity, is constantly regarded as theprocrastination of a suit, from a consciousness of theweakness of thecause. From these considerations, the following comedy would certainlyhave been submitted to the reader, without any farther introductionthanwhat it had in the representation, but that its success hasprobably been founded on a circumstance which the author is informedhas not before attended atheatrical trial, and which consequentlyought not to pass unnoticed.I need scarcely add, that the circumstance alluded to was thewithdrawing of the piece, toremove those imperfections in the firstrepresentation which were too obvious to escape reprehension, and toonumerous to admit of a hasty correction. There arefew writers, Ibelieve, who, even in the fullest consciousness of error, do not wishto palliate the faults which they acknowledge; and, however triflingtheperformance, to second their confession of its deficiencies, bywhatever plea seems least disgraceful to their ability. In the presentinstance, it cannot be said toamount either to candour or modesty inme, to acknowledge an extreme inexperience and want of judgment onmatters, in which, without guidance from practice,or spur fromsuccess, a young man should scarcely boast of being an adept. If it besaid, that under such disadvantages no one should attempt to write aplay, Imust beg leave to dissent from the position, while the firstpoint of experience that I have gained on the subject is, a knowledgeof the candour and judgment withwhich an impartial publicdistinguishes between the errors of inexperience and incapacity, andthe indulgence which it shows even to a disposition to remedythedefects of either.It were unnecessary to enter into any further extenuation of what wasthought exceptionable in this play, but that it has been said, thatthemanagers should have prevented some of the defects before itsappearance to the public--and in particular the uncommon length of thepiece as representedthe first night. It were an ill return for themost liberal and gentlemanly conduct on their side, to suffer anycensure to rest where none was deserved. Hurry inwriting has long beenexploded as an excuse for an author;--however, in the dramatic line,it may happen, that both an author and a manager may wish to fillachasm in the entertainment of the public with a hastiness notaltogether culpable. The season was advanced when I first put the playinto Mr. Harris's hands: itwas at that time at least double the lengthof any acting comedy. I profited by his judgment and experience in thecurtailing of it--till, I believe, his feeling for thevanity of ayoung author got the better of his desire for correctness, and he leftmany excrescences remaining, because he had assisted in pruning so manymore.Hence, though I was not uninformed that the acts were still toolong, I flattered myself that, after the first trial, I might withsafer judgment proceed to removewhat should appear to have been mostdissatisfactory. Many other errors there were, which might in part havearisen from my being by no means conversant withplays in general,either in reading or at the theatre. Yet I own that, in one respect, Idid not regret my ignorance: for as my first wish in attempting a playwas toavoid every appearance of plagiary, I thought I should stand abetter chance of effecting this from being in a walk which I had notfrequented, and where,consequently, the progress of invention was lesslikely to be interrupted by starts of recollection: for on subjects onwhich the mind has been much informed,invention is slow of exertingitself. Faded ideas float in the fancy like half-forgotten dreams; andthe imagination in its fullest enjoyments becomes suspicious ofitsoffspring, and doubts whether it has created or adopted.With regard to some particular passages which on the first night'srepresentation seemed generallydisliked, I confess, that if I felt anyemotion of surprise at the disapprobation, it was not that they weredisapproved of, but that I had not before perceived thatthey deservedit. As some part of the attack on the piece was begun too early to passfor the sentence of _judgment_, which is ever tardy in condemning, ithasbeen suggested to me, that much of the disapprobation must havearisen from virulence of malice, rather than severity of criticism: butas I was moreapprehensive of there being just grounds to excite thelatter than conscious of having deserved the former, I continue not tobelieve that probable, which I am suremust have been unprovoked.However, if it was so, and I could even mark the quarter from whence itcame, it would be ungenerous to retort: for no passionsuffers morethan malice from disappointment. For my own part, I see no reason whythe author of a play should not regard a first night's audience as acandid andjudicious friend attending, in behalf of the public, at hislast rehearsal. If he can dispense with flattery, he is sure at leastof sincerity, and even though theannotation be rude, he may rely uponthe justness of the comment. Considered in this light, that audience,whose _fiat_ is essential to the poet's claim, whetherhis object befame or profit, has surely a right to expect some deference to itsopinion, from principles of politeness at least, if not from gratitude.As for the littlepuny critics, who scatter their peevish strictures inprivate circles, and scribble at every author who has the eminence ofbeing unconnected with them, as they areusually spleen-swoln from avain idea of increasing their consequence, there will always be founda petulance and illiberality in their remarks, which should placethemas far beneath the notice of a gentleman, as their original dulness hadsunk them from the level of the most unsuccessful author.It is not without pleasurethat I catch at an opportunity of justifyingmyself from the charge of intending any national reflection in thecharacter of Sir Lucius O'Trigger. If any gentlemenopposed the piecefrom that idea, I thank them sincerely for their opposition; and if thecondemnation of this comedy (however misconceived theprovocation)could have added one spark to the decaying flame of national attachmentto the country supposed to be reflected on, I should have been happy initsfate, and might with truth have boasted, that it had done more realservice in its failure, than the successful morality of a thousandstage-novels will ever effect.Itis usual, I believe, to thank the performers in a new play, for theexertion of their several abilities. But where (as in this instance)their merit has been so strikingand uncontroverted, as to call for thewarmest and truest applause from a number of judicious audiences, thepoet's after-praise comes like the feeble acclamationof a child toclose the shouts of a multitude. The conduct, however, of theprincipals in a theatre cannot be so apparent to the public. I thinkit therefore but justiceto declare, that from this theatre (the onlyone I can speak of from experience) those writers who wish to try thedramatic line will meet with that candour andliberal attention, whichare generally allowed to be better calculated to lead genius intoexcellence, than either the precepts of judgment, or the guidanceofexperience.The AUTHOR* * * * * * *DRAMATIS PERSONAE  As originally acted at COVENT GARDEN THEATRE in 1775  Sir ANTHONY ABSOLUTE  CAPTAINABSOLUTE  FAULKLAND  ACRES  Sir LUCIUS O'TRIGGER  FAG  DAVID  THOMAS  Mrs. MALAPROP  LYDIA LANGUISH  JULIA  LUCY  Maid, Boy, Servants,&c.SCENE--Bath.Time of action--Five hours.* * * * * * *PROLOGUEBy the AUTHOR[Enter SERJEANT-AT-LAW, and ATTORNEY following, and giving apaper.]SERJEANT  What's here!--a vile cramp hand!

Eliot, A.M.EnglishMaster In The Morgan SchoolToHenry A. BeersProfessor Of English Literature In Yale UniversityWho First Aroused My Interest In DrydenAnd Directed My Study OfHis WorksThis Volume Is Respectfully InscribedPREFACE.To edit an English classic for study in secondary schools is difficult.The lack of anything like uniformity inthe type of examination requiredby the colleges and universities complicates treatment. Not only do twodistinct institutions differ in the scope and character oftheirquestions, but the same university varies its demands from year to year.The only safe course to pursue is, therefore, a generally comprehensiveone. Buthere, again, we are hampered by limited space, and are forcedto content ourselves with a bare outline, which the individualinstructor can fill in as much or aslittle as he pleases.The ignorance of most of our classical students in regard to the historyof English literature is appalling; and yet it is impossible properlytostudy a given work of a given author without some knowledge of thebackground against which that particular writer stands. I have,therefore, sketched thepolitics, society, and literature of the age inwhich Dryden lived, and during which he gave to the world his _Palamonand Arcite_. In the critical comments of theintroduction I havecontented myself with little more than hints. That particular line ofstudy, whether it concerns the poet's style, his verse forms, orthepossession of the divine instinct itself, can be much moresatisfactorily developed by the instructor, as the student's knowledgeof the poem grows.It is certainlya subject for congratulation that so many youth will beintroduced, through the medium of Dryden's crisp and vigorous verse, toone of the tales of Chaucer. May itnow, as in his own century,accomplish the poet's desire, and awaken in them appreciative admirationfor the old bard, the best story-teller in the Englishlanguage.G. E. E. CLINTON, CONN., July 26, 1897.INTRODUCTION.THE BACKGROUND.The fifty years of Dryden's literary production just fill the last halfof theseventeenth century. It was a period bristling with violentpolitical and religious prejudices, provocative of strife that amountedto revolution. Its social life ran thegamut from the severity of theCommonwealth Puritan to the unbridled debauchery of the RestorationCourtier. In literature it experienced a remarkabletransformation inpoetry, and developed modern prose, watched the production of thegreatest English epics, smarted under the lash of the greatest Englishsatires,blushed at the brilliant wit of unspeakable comedies, andapplauded the beginnings of English criticism.When the period began, England was a Commonwealth.Charles I., byobstinate insistence upon absolutism, by fickleness and faithlessness,had increased and strengthened his enemies. Parliament had seized thereins ofgovernment in 1642, had completely established its authority atNaseby in 1645, and had beheaded the king in front of his own palace in1649. The army hadaccomplished these results, and the army proposed toenjoy the reward. Cromwell, the idolized commander of the Ironsides, wasplaced at the head of thenew-formed state with the title of LordProtector; and for five years he ruled England, as she had been ruled byno sovereign since Elizabeth. He suppressedParliamentary dissensionsand royalist uprisings, humbled the Dutch, took vengeance on theSpaniard, and made England indisputably mistress of the ocean. Hewassucceeded, at his death in 1658, by his son Richard; but the father'sstrong instinct for government had not been inherited by the son. Thenation, homesick formonarchy, was tiring of dissension and bickering,and by the Restoration of 1660 the son of Charles I became Charles II ofEngland.Scarcely had thedemonstrations of joy at the Restoration subsided whenLondon was visited by the devouring plague of 1665. All who could fledfrom the stricken city wherethousands died in a day. In 1666 came thegreat fire which swept from the Tower to the Temple; but, while itdestroyed a vast deal of property, it prevented by itsviolentpurification a recurrence of the plague, and made possible therebuilding of the city with great sanitary and architecturalimprovements.Charles possessedsome of the virtues of the Stuarts and most of theirfaults. His arbitrary irresponsibility shook the confidence of thenation in his sincerity. Two parties, the Whigsand the Tories, cameinto being, and party spirit and party strife ran high. The question atissue was chiefly one of religion. The rank and file of ProtestantEnglandwas determined against the revival of Romanism, which acontinuation of the Stuart line seemed to threaten. Charles was aProtestant only from expediency, andon his deathbed accepted the RomanCatholic faith; his brother James, Duke of York, the heir apparent, wasa professed Romanist.Such an outlook incited theWhigs, under the leadership of Shaftesbury,to support the claims of Charles' eldest illegitimate son, the Duke ofMonmouth, who, on the death of his father in1685, landed in England;but the promised uprising was scarcely more than a rabble of peasantry,and was easily suppressed. Then came the vengeance of James,as foolishas it was tyrannical. Judge Jeffries and his bloody assizes sent scoresof Protestants to the block or to the gallows, till England would endureno more.William, Prince of Orange, who had married Mary, the eldestdaughter of James, was invited to accept the English crown. He landed atTorbay, was joined byChurchill, the commander of the king's forces,and, on the precipitate flight of James, mounted the throne of England.This event stands in history as the ProtestantRevolution of 1688.During William's reign, which terminated in 1702, Stuart uprisings weresuccessfully suppressed, English liberties were guaranteed by thefamousBill of Rights, Protestant succession was assured, and liberaltoleration was extended to the various dissenting sects.Society had passed through quite asgreat variations as had politicsduring this half-century. The roistering Cavalier of the first Charles,with his flowing locks and plumed hat, with his maypoles andmorricedances, with his stage plays and bear-baitings, with his carousals andgallantries, had given way to the Puritan Roundhead. It was a serious,sober-mindedEngland in which the youth Dryden found himself. If thePuritan differed from the Cavalier in political principles, they wereeven more diametrically opposed inmode of life. An Act of Parliamentclosed the theaters in 1642. Amusements of all kinds were frowned uponas frivolous, and many were suppressed by law. The oldEnglish feasts atMichaelmas, Christmas, Twelfth Night, and Candlemas were regarded asrelics of popery and were condemned. The Puritan took hisreligionseriously, so seriously that it overpowered him. The energy and fervorof his religious life were illustrated in the work performed byCromwell's chaplain,John Howe, on any one of the countless fast days.\"He began with his flock at nine in the morning, prayed during a quarterof an hour for blessing upon the day'swork, then read and explained achapter for three-quarters of an hour, then prayed for an hour, preachedfor an hour, and prayed again for a half an hour, thenretired for aquarter of an hour's refreshment--the people singing all thewhile--returned to his pulpit, prayed for another hour, preached foranother hour, andfinished at four P.M.\"At the Restoration the pendulum swung back again. From the strainedmorality of the Puritans there was a sudden leap to the mostextravagantlicense and the grossest immorality, with the king and the court in thevan. The theaters were thrown wide open, women for the first time wentuponthe stage, and they acted in plays whose moral tone is so low thatthey cannot now be presented on the stage or read in the drawing-room.Of course they voicedthe social conditions of the time. Marriage tieswere lightly regarded; no gallant but boasted his amours. Revelry ranriot; drunkenness became a habit andgambling a craze. The courtscintillated with brilliant wits, conscienceless libertines, andscoffing atheists. It was an age of debauchery and disbelief.The splendor ofthis life sometimes dazzles, the lack of conveniencesappalls. The post left London once a week. A journey to the country mustbe made in your own lumberingcarriage, or on the snail-slow stagecoachover miserable roads, beset with highwaymen. The narrow, ill-lightedstreets, even of London, could not be traversedsafely at night; andladies, borne to routs and levees in their sedan chairs, were lighted bylink-boys, and were carried by stalwart, broad-shouldered bearerswhocould wield well the staves in a street fight. Such were the conditionsof life and society which Dryden found in the last fifty years of theseventeenthcentury.Strong as were the contrasts in politics and manners during Dryden'slifetime, they were paralleled by contrasts in literature no lessmarked. Dryden wasborn in 1631; he died in 1700. In the year of hisbirth died John Donne, the father of the Metaphysical bards, orMarinists; in the year of his death was born JamesThomson, who was togive the first real start to the Romantic movement; while between thesetwo dates lies the period devoted to the development ofFrenchClassicism in English literature.At Dryden's birth Ben Jonson was the only one of the great Elizabethandramatists still living, and of the lesser stars in thesame galaxy,Chapman, Massinger, Ford, Webster, and Heywood all died during hisboyhood and youth, while Shirley, the last of his line, lingered till1667. Of theolder writers in prose, Selden alone remained; but asDryden grew to manhood, he had at hand, fresh from the printers, thewhole wealth of Commonwealth prose,still somewhat clumsy with Latinismor tainted with Euphuism, but working steadily toward that simplestrength and graceful fluency with which he was himself tomark thebeginning of modern English prose.Clarendon, with his magnificently involved style, began his famous_History of the Great Rebellion_ in 1641. Ten yearslater Hobbespublished the _Leviathan_, a sketch of an ideal commonwealth. Baxter,with his _Saints' Everlasting Rest_ sent a book of religious consolationintoevery household. In 1642 Dr. Thomas Browne, with the simplicity ofa child and a quaintness that fascinates, published his _ReligioMedici_; and in 1653 dear oldsimple-hearted Isaak Walton told us in his_Compleat Angler_ how to catch, dress, and cook fish. Thomas Fuller,born a score or more of years before Dryden, inthe same town,Aldwinkle, published in 1642 his _Holy and Profane State_, a collectionof brief and brisk character sketches, which come nearer modern prosethan"}

BRAYCHAPTER IHere is a story that has lain dormant for seven hundred years. At firstit was suppressedby one of the Plantagenet kings of England. Later itwas forgotten. I happened to dig it up by accident. The accident beingthe relationship of my wife's cousin to acertain Father Superior in avery ancient monastery in Europe.He let me pry about among a quantity of mildewed and musty manuscriptsand I came across this. Itis very interesting--partially since it is abit of hitherto unrecorded history, but principally from the fact thatit records the story of a most remarkable revenge andthe adventurouslife of its innocent victim--Richard, the lost prince of England.In the retelling of it, I have left out most of the history. Whatinterested me was theunique character about whom the tale revolves--thevisored horseman who--but let us wait until we get to him.It all happened in the thirteenth century, and whileit was happening,it shook England from north to south and from east to west; and reachedacross the channel and shook France. It started, directly, in theLondonpalace of Henry III, and was the result of a quarrel between the Kingand his powerful brother-in-law, Simon de Montfort, Earl of Leicester.Never mind thequarrel, that's history, and you can read all about it atyour leisure. But on this June day in the year of our Lord 1243, Henryso forgot himself as to very unjustlyaccuse De Montfort of treason inthe presence of a number of the King's gentlemen.De Montfort paled. He was a tall, handsome man, and when he drew himselftohis full height and turned those gray eyes on the victim of hiswrath, as he did that day, he was very imposing. A power in England,second only to the Kinghimself, and with the heart of a lion in him, heanswered the King as no other man in all England would have dared answerhim.\"My Lord King,\" he cried, \"that yoube my Lord King alone prevents Simonde Montfort from demanding satisfaction for such a gross insult. Thatyou take advantage of your kingship to say what youwould never dare saywere you not king, brands me not a traitor, though it does brand you acoward.\"Tense silence fell upon the little company of lords andcourtiers asthese awful words fell from the lips of a subject, addressed to hisking. They were horrified, for De Montfort's bold challenge was to thembut little shortof sacrilege.Henry, flushing in mortification and anger, rose to advance upon DeMontfort, but suddenly recollecting the power which he represented, hethoughtbetter of whatever action he contemplated and, with a haughtysneer, turned to his courtiers.\"Come, my gentlemen,\" he said, \"methought that we were to have aturnwith the foils this morning. Already it waxeth late. Come, De Fulm! Come,Leybourn!\" and the King left the apartment followed by his gentlemen,all of whomhad drawn away from the Earl of Leicester when it becameapparent that the royal displeasure was strong against him. As thearras fell behind the departing King,De Montfort shrugged his broadshoulders, and turning, left the apartment by another door.When the King, with his gentlemen, entered the armory he wasstillsmarting from the humiliation of De Montfort's reproaches, and as helaid aside his surcoat and plumed hat to take the foils with De Fulm,his eyes alighted onthe master of fence, Sir Jules de Vac, who wasadvancing with the King's foil and helmet. Henry felt in no mood forfencing with De Fulm, who, like the othersycophants that surroundedhim, always allowed the King easily to best him in every encounter.De Vac he knew to be too jealous of his fame as a swordsman topermithimself to be overcome by aught but superior skill, and this day Henryfelt that he could best the devil himself.The armory was a great room on the mainfloor of the palace, off theguard room. It was built in a small wing of the building so that ithad light from three sides. In charge of it was the lean,grizzled,leather-skinned Sir Jules de Vac, and it was he whom Henry commanded toface him in mimic combat with the foils, for the King wished to gowithhammer and tongs at someone to vent his suppressed rage.So he let De Vac assume to his mind's eye the person of the hated DeMontfort, and it followedthat De Vac was nearly surprised into an earlyand mortifying defeat by the King's sudden and clever attack.Henry III had always been accounted a goodswordsman, but that dayhe quite outdid himself and, in his imagination, was about to runthe pseudo De Montfort through the heart, to the wild acclaim ofhisaudience. For this fell purpose he had backed the astounded De Vac twicearound the hall when, with a clever feint, and backward step, the masterof fencedrew the King into the position he wanted him, and with thesuddenness of lightning, a little twist of his foil sent Henry's weaponclanging across the floor of thearmory.For an instant, the King stood as tense and white as though the hand ofdeath had reached out and touched his heart with its icy fingers.The episodemeant more to him than being bested in play by the bestswordsman in England--for that surely was no disgrace--to Henry itseemed prophetic of the outcome of afuture struggle when he shouldstand face to face with the real De Montfort; and then, seeing in DeVac only the creature of his imagination with which he hadvested thelikeness of his powerful brother-in-law, Henry did what he should liketo have done to the real Leicester. Drawing off his gauntlet he advancedclose toDe Vac.\"Dog!\" he hissed, and struck the master of fence a stinging blow acrossthe face, and spat upon him. Then he turned on his heel and strode fromthearmory.De Vac had grown old in the service of the kings of England, but hehated all things English and all Englishmen. The dead King John, thoughhated by allothers, he had loved, but with the dead King's bones DeVac's loyalty to the house he served had been buried in the Cathedral ofWorcester.During the years hehad served as master of fence at the English Court,the sons of royalty had learned to thrust and parry and cut as onlyDe Vac could teach the art, and he had beenas conscientious in thedischarge of his duties as he had been in his unswerving hatred andcontempt for his pupils.And now the English King had put upon himsuch an insult as might onlybe wiped out by blood.As the blow fell, the wiry Frenchman clicked his heels together, andthrowing down his foil, he stood erect andrigid as a marble statuebefore his master. White and livid was his tense drawn face, but hespoke no word.He might have struck the King, but then there wouldhave been left tohim no alternative save death by his own hand; for a king may not fightwith a lesser mortal, and he who strikes a king may not live--theking'shonor must be satisfied.Had a French king struck him, De Vac would have struck back, and gloriedin the fate which permitted him to die for the honor ofFrance; but anEnglish King--pooh! a dog; and who would die for a dog? No, De Vac wouldfind other means of satisfying his wounded pride. He would revelinrevenge against this man for whom he felt no loyalty. If possible, hewould harm the whole of England if he could, but he would bide his time.He could afford towait for his opportunity if, by waiting, he couldencompass a more terrible revenge.De Vac had been born in Paris, the son of a French officer reputed thebestswordsman in France. The son had followed closely in the footstepsof his father until, on the latter's death, he could easily claim thetitle of his sire. How he hadleft France and entered the service ofJohn of England is not of this story. All the bearing that the life ofJules de Vac has upon the history of England hinges uponbut two of hismany attributes--his wonderful swordsmanship and his fearful hatred forhis adopted country.CHAPTER IISouth of the armory of Westminster Palacelay the gardens, and here, onthe third day following the King's affront to De Vac, might have been aseen a black-haired woman gowned in a violet cyclas, richlyembroideredwith gold about the yoke and at the bottom of the loose-pointed sleeves,which reached almost to the similar bordering on the lower hem ofthegarment. A richly wrought leathern girdle, studded with precious stones,and held in place by a huge carved buckle of gold, clasped the garmentabout her waistso that the upper portion fell outward over the girdleafter the manner of a blouse. In the girdle was a long dagger ofbeautiful workmanship. Dainty sandalsencased her feet, while a wimpleof violet silk bordered in gold fringe, lay becomingly over her head andshoulders.By her side walked a handsome boy of aboutthree, clad, like hiscompanion, in gay colors. His tiny surcoat of scarlet velvet was richwith embroidery, while beneath was a close-fitting tunic of whitesilk. Hisdoublet was of scarlet, while his long hose of white werecross-gartered with scarlet from his tiny sandals to his knees. On theback of his brown curls sat aflat-brimmed, round-crowned hat in which asingle plume of white waved and nodded bravely at each move of the proudlittle head.The child's features were wellmolded, and his frank, bright eyes gavean expression of boyish generosity to a face which otherwise would havebeen too arrogant and haughty for such a merebaby. As he talked withhis companion, little flashes of peremptory authority and dignity, whichsat strangely upon one so tiny, caused the young woman at timestoturn her head from him that he might not see the smiles which she couldscarce repress.Presently the boy took a ball from his tunic, and, pointing at a littlebushnear them, said, \"Stand you there, Lady Maud, by yonder bush. Iwould play at toss.\"The young woman did as she was bid, and when she had taken her placeandturned to face him the boy threw the ball to her. Thus they playedbeneath the windows of the armory, the boy running blithely after theball when he missed it,and laughing and shouting in happy glee when hemade a particularly good catch.In one of the windows of the armory overlooking the garden stood a grim,gray,old man, leaning upon his folded arms, his brows drawn together ina malignant scowl, the corners of his mouth set in a stern, cold line.He looked upon the gardenand the playing child, and upon the lovelyyoung woman beneath him, but with eyes which did not see, for De Vac wasworking out a great problem, the greatestof all his life.For three days, the old man had brooded over his grievance, seeking forsome means to be revenged upon the King for the insult which Henry hadputupon him. Many schemes had presented themselves to his shrewdand cunning mind, but so far all had been rejected as unworthy of theterrible satisfaction whichhis wounded pride demanded.His fancies had, for the most part, revolved about the unsettledpolitical conditions of Henry's reign, for from these he felt he"}

Hismother sewed them on again.When the three kittens were ready, Mrs. Tabitha unwiselyturned them outinto the garden, to be out of the way while she made hot buttered toast.\"Now keep your frocks clean, children! You must walk on your hindlegs.Keep away from the dirty ash-pit, and from Sally Henny Penny, and from thepig-stye and the Puddle-Ducks.\"[Illustration][Illustration]Moppet and Mittenswalked down the garden path unsteadily. Presently theytrod upon their pinafores and fell on their noses.When they stood up there were several greensmears!\"Let us climb up the rockery, and sit on the garden wall,\" said Moppet.They turned their pinafores back to front, and went up with a skip and ajump;Moppet's white tucker fell down into the road.[Illustration][Illustration]Tom Kitten was quite unable to jump when walking upon his hind legs introusers. He cameup the rockery by degrees, breaking the ferns, andshedding buttons right and left.He was all in pieces when he reached the top of the wall.Moppet and Mittenstried to pull him together; his hat fell off, and therest of his buttons burst.[Illustration][Illustration]While they were in difficulties, there was a pit pat paddle pat!and thethree Puddle-Ducks came along the hard high road, marching one behind theother and doing the goose step--pit pat paddle pat! pit pat waddle pat!Theystopped and stood in a row, and stared up at the kittens. They hadvery small eyes and looked surprised.[Illustration][Illustration]Then the two duck-birds,Rebeccah and Jemima Puddle-Duck, picked up thehat and tucker and put them on.Mittens laughed so that she fell off the wall. Moppet and Tom descendedafterher; the pinafores and all the rest of Tom's clothes came off on theway down.\"Come! Mr. Drake Puddle-Duck,\" said Moppet--\"Come and help us to dresshim!Come and button up Tom!\"[Illustration][Illustration]Mr. Drake Puddle-Duck advanced in a slow sideways manner, and picked upthe various articles.But he putthem on _himself!_ They fitted him even worse than Tom Kitten.\"It's a very fine morning!\" said Mr. Drake Puddle-Duck.[Illustration][Illustration]And he andJemima and Rebeccah Puddle-Duck set off up the road, keepingstep--pit pat, paddle pat! pit pat, waddle pat!Then Tabitha Twitchit came down the garden andfound her kittens on thewall with no clothes on.[Illustration][Illustration]She pulled them off the wall, smacked them, and took them back to thehouse.\"Myfriends will arrive in a minute, and you are not fit to be seen; I amaffronted,\" said Mrs. Tabitha Twitchit.She sent them upstairs; and I am sorry to say she toldher friends thatthey were in bed with the measles; which was not true.[Illustration][Illustration]Quite the contrary; they were not in bed: _not_ in theleast.Somehow there were very extraordinary noises over-head, which disturbedthe dignity and repose of the tea party.And I think that some day I shall have tomake another, larger, book, totell you more about Tom Kitten![Illustration]As for the Puddle-Ducks--they went into a pond.The clothes all came off directly,because there were no buttons.[Illustration][Illustration]And Mr. Drake Puddle-Duck, and Jemima and Rebeccah, have been looking forthem ever since.End ofProject Gutenberg's The Tale of Tom Kitten, by Beatrix Potter*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF TOM KITTEN ******** This fileshould be named 14837.txt or 14837.zip *****This and all associated files of various formats will be foundin:        http://www.gutenberg.net/1/4/8/3/14837/Produced by Robert Cicconetti, Melissa Er-Raqabi and the PG OnlineDistributed Proofreading Team(http://www.pgdp.net).Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editionswill be renamed.Creating the works from public domain print editionsmeans that noone owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States withoutpermissionand without paying copyright royalties.

TWO ESSAYS BY  ARTHUR SCHOPENHAUER.  TRANSLATED BY MME. KARL HILLEBRAND.  _REVISED EDITION._  LONDON  GEORGE BELLAND SONS  1907  CHISWICK PRESS: CHARLES WHITTINGHAM AND CO.  TOOKS COURT, CHANCERY LANE, LONDON.TRANSLATOR'S PREFACE.In venturing to laythe present translation[1] before the public, Iam aware of the great difficulties of my task, and indeed can hardlyhope to do justice to the Author. In fact, had itnot been for theconsiderations I am about to state, I might probably never havepublished what had originally been undertaken in order to acquire aclearercomprehension of these essays, rather than with a view topublicity.  [1] From the fourth edition by Julius Frauenstädt. \"Fourfold Root,\"  Leipzig, 1875; \"Will inNature,\" Leipzig, 1878.The two treatises which form the contents of the present volume have somuch importance for a profound and correct knowledge ofSchopenhauer'sphilosophy, that it may even be doubted whether the translation ofhis chief work, \"Die Welt als Wille und Vorstellung,\" can contributemuchtowards the appreciation of his system without the help atleast of the \"Vierfache Wurzel des Satzes vom zureichenden Grunde.\"Schopenhauer himself repeatedlyand urgently insists upon a previousthorough knowledge of Kant's philosophy, as the basis, and of hisown \"Fourfold Root,\" as the key, to his own system,asserting thatknowledge to be the indispensable condition for a right comprehensionof his meaning. So far as I am aware, neither the \"Fourfold Root\"nor the \"Willin Nature\" have as yet found a translator; therefore,considering the dawning interest which has begun to make itself feltfor Schopenhauer's philosophy in Englandand in America, and the factthat no more competent scholar has come forward to do the work, it maynot seem presumptuous to suppose that this version may beacceptableto those who wish to acquire a more than superficial knowledge of thisremarkable thinker, yet whose acquaintance with German does not permitthemto read his works in the original.Now although some portions of both the Essays published in the presentvolume have of course become antiquated, owing to thesubsequentdevelopment of the empirical sciences, while others--such as, forinstance, Schopenhauer's denunciation of plagiarism in the cases ofBrandis and Rosasin the beginning of Physiology and Pathology[2]--canhave no interest for the reader of the present day, I have neverthelessgiven them just as he left them andrefrained from all suppression oralteration. And if, on the whole, the \"Will in Nature\" may be lessindispensable for a right understanding of our philosopher'sviewsthan the \"Fourfold Root,\" being merely a record of the confirmationswhich had been contributed during his lifetime by the various branchesof NaturalScience to his doctrine, that _the thing in itself is thewill_, the Second Essay has nevertheless in its own way quite as muchimportance as the First, and is, in asense, its complement. For theyboth throw light on Schopenhauer's view of the Universe in its doubleaspect as Will and as Representation, each being as it were_a résumé_of the exposition of one of those aspects. My plea for uniting them inone volume, in spite of the difference of their contents and the widelapse oftime (seventeen years) which lies between them, must be, thatthey complete each other, and that their great weight and intrinsicvalue seem to point them out aspeculiarly fitted to be introduced tothe English thinker.  [2] See \"Will in Nature,\" pp. 9-18 of the original; pp. 224-234 of  the present translation.In endeavouringto convey the Author's thoughts as he expressesthem, I have necessarily encountered many and great difficulties. Hismeaning, though always clearly expressed,is not always easy to seize,even for his countrymen; as a foreigner, therefore, I may often havefailed to grasp, let alone adequately to render, that meaning. Inthiscase besides, the responsibility for any want of perspicuity cannotbe shifted by the translator on to the Author; since the consummateperfection ofSchopenhauer's prose is universally recognised, even bythose who reject, or at least who do not share, his views. An eminentGerman writer of our time has nothesitated to rank him immediatelyafter Lessing and Göthe as the third greatest German prose-writer, andonly quite recently a German professor, in a speechdelivered withthe intent of demolishing Schopenhauer's philosophy, was reluctantlyobliged to admit that his works would remain on account of theirliterary value.Göthe himself expressed admiration for the clearness ofexposition in Schopenhauer's chief work and for the beauty of his style.The chief obstacle I haveencountered in translating these Essays, didnot therefore consist in the obscurity of the Author's style, nor evenin the difficulty of finding appropriate termswherewith to convey hismeaning; although at times certainly the want of complete precision inour philosophical terminology made itself keenly felt and theselectionwas often far from easy: it lay rather in the great difference in theway of thinking and of expressing their thoughts which lies betweenthe two nations.The regions of German and English thought are indeedseparated by a gulf, which at first seems impassable, yet which mustbe bridged over by some means orother, if a right comprehension is tobe achieved. The German writer loves to develop synthetically a singlethought in a long period consisting of various members;he proceedssteadily to unravel the seemingly tangled skein, while he keeps thereader ever on the alert, making him assist actively in the processand never lettinghim lose sight of the main thread. The Englishauthor, on the contrary, anxious before all things to avoid confusionand misunderstanding, and ready for this endnot only to sacrificeharmony of proportion in construction, but to submit to the necessityof occasional artificial joining, usually adopts the analyticalmethod. Heprefers to divide the thread of his discourse into severalsmaller skeins, easier certainly to handle and thus better suiting theconvenience of the English thinker, towhom long periods are trying andbewildering, and who is not always willing to wait half a page or morefor the point of a sentence or the gist of a thought.Wherever it couldbe done without interfering seriously with the spirit of the original,I have broken up the longer periods in these essays into smallersentences, inorder to facilitate their comprehension. At times howeverSchopenhauer recapitulates a whole side of his view of the Universein a single period of what seemsintolerable length to the Englishreader: as, for instance, the _résumé_ contained in the Introductionto his \"Will in Nature,\"[3] which could not be dividedwithout damageto his meaning. Here therefore it did not seem advisable to sacrificethe unity and harmony of his design and to disturb both his form andhismeaning, in order to minister to the reader's dislike for mentalexertion; in keeping the period intact I have however endeavoured tomake it as easy tocomprehend as possible by the way in which thesingle parts are presented to the eye.  [3] Pp. 2 and 3 of the original, and pp. 216 to 218 of thepresent  translation.As regards the terms chosen to convey the German meaning, I can hardlyhope to have succeeded in every case in adequately rendering it,stillless can I expect to have satisfied my English readers. Several wordsof frequent occurrence and of considerable importance for the rightunderstanding of theoriginal, have been used at different times bydifferent English philosophers in senses so various, that, until ourphilosophical terminology has by universal consentattained far greaterprecision than at present, it must always be difficult for the writeror translator to convey to the reader's mind precisely the same thoughtthatwas in his own. To prevent unnecessary confusion however, byleaving too much to chance, I will here briefly state those terms whichgive most latitude formisapprehension, explaining the sense in whichI employ them and also the special meaning attached to some of them bySchopenhauer, who often differs in thisfrom other writers. They are asfollows.(_a._) _Anschauung_ (_anschauen_, literally 'to behold') I haverendered differently, according to its double meaning inGerman. Whenused to designate the mental act by which an object is perceived, asthe cause of a sensation received, it is rendered by _perception_.When used tolay stress upon _immediate_, as opposed to _abstract_representation, it is rendered by _intuition_. This last occurs howevermore often in the adjectiveform.(_b._) _Vorstellung_ (_vorstellen_, literally 'to place before') Irender by _representation_ in spite of its foreign, unwelcome sound tothe English ear, asbeing the term which nearest approaches the Germanmeaning. The faculty of representation is defined by Schopenhauerhimself as \"an exceedingly complicatedphysiological process in thebrain of an animal, the result of which is the consciousness of a_picture_ there.\"(_c._) _Auffassung_ (_auffassen_, literally 'to catchup') has somany shades of meaning in German that it has to be translated in manydifferent ways according to the relation in which it stands in thecontext. Itsignifies _apprehension_, _comprehension_, _perception_,_viewing_ and _grasping_.(_d._) _Wahrnehmung_ (_wahrnehmen_, from _wahr_, true, and_nehmen_, totake), is translated by _apprehension_ or _perception_, according tothe degree of consciousness which accompanies it.But the two words which"}

All the employes of the HotelCosmopolis were alert. It was one of the thingson which Mr. DanielBrewster, the proprietor, insisted. And as he was always wandering aboutthe lobby of the hotel keeping a personal eye on affairs, it wasneversafe to relax.\"I want to see the manager.\"\"Is there anything I could do, sir?\"Archie looked at him doubtfully.\"Well, as a matter of fact, my dear olddesk-clerk,\" he said, \"I want tokick up a fearful row, and it hardly seems fair to lug you into it. Whyyou, I mean to say? The blighter whose head I want on acharger is thebally manager.\"At this point a massive, grey-haired man, who had been standing closeby, gazing on the lobby with an air of restrained severity, asif daringit to start anything, joined in the conversation.\"I am the manager,\" he said.His eye was cold and hostile. Others, it seemed to say, might likeArchieMoffam, but not he. Daniel Brewster was bristling for combat.What he had overheard had shocked him to the core of his being. TheHotel Cosmopolis was his ownprivate, personal property, and the thingdearest to him in the world, after his daughter Lucille. He pridedhimself on the fact that his hotel was not like other NewYork hotels,which were run by impersonal companies and shareholders and boards ofdirectors, and consequently lacked the paternal touch which madetheCosmopolis what it was. At other hotels things went wrong, and clientscomplained. At the Cosmopolis things never went wrong, because he wason the spot tosee that they didn't, and as a result clients nevercomplained. Yet here was this long, thin, string-bean of an Englishmanactually registering annoyance anddissatisfaction before his very eyes.\"What is your complaint?\" he enquired frigidly.Archie attached himself to the top button of Mr. Brewster's coat,and wasimmediately dislodged by an irritable jerk of the other'ssubstantial body.\"Listen, old thing! I came over to this country to nose about in searchof a job, becausethere doesn't seem what you might call a generaldemand for my services in England. Directly I was demobbed, the familystarted talking about the Land ofOpportunity and shot me on to a liner.The idea was that I might get hold of something in America--\"He got hold of Mr. Brewster's coat-button, and was againshaken off.\"Between ourselves, I've never done anything much in England, and Ifancy the family were getting a bit fed. At any rate, they sent me overhere--\"Mr.Brewster disentangled himself for the third time.\"I would prefer to postpone the story of your life,\" he said coldly,\"and be informed what is your specific complaintagainst the HotelCosmopolis.\"\"Of course, yes. The jolly old hotel. I'm coming to that. Well, it waslike this. A chappie on the boat told me that this was the bestplace tostop at in New York--\"\"He was quite right,\" said Mr. Brewster.\"Was he, by Jove! Well, all I can say, then, is that the other New Yorkhotels must be prettymouldy, if this is the best of the lot! I took aroom here last night,\" said Archie quivering with self-pity, \"and therewas a beastly tap outside somewhere which wentdrip-drip-drip all nightand kept me awake.\"Mr. Brewster's annoyance deepened. He felt that a chink had been foundin his armour. Not even the most paternalhotel-proprietor can keep aneye on every tap in his establishment.\"Drip-drip-drip!\" repeated Archie firmly. \"And I put my boots outsidethe door when I went tobed, and this morning they hadn't been touched.I give you my solemn word! Not touched.\"\"Naturally,\" said Mr. Brewster. \"My employes are honest\"\"But I wantedthem cleaned, dash it!\"\"There is a shoe-shining parlour in the basement. At the Cosmopolisshoes left outside bedroom doors are not cleaned.\"\"Then I think theCosmopolis is a bally rotten hotel!\"Mr. Brewster's compact frame quivered. The unforgivable insult had beenoffered. Question the legitimacy of Mr. Brewster'sparentage, knock Mr.Brewster down and walk on his face with spiked shoes, and you did notirremediably close all avenues to a peaceful settlement. But makearemark like that about his hotel, and war was definitely declared.\"In that case,\" he said, stiffening, \"I must ask you to give up yourroom.\"\"I'm going to give itup! I wouldn't stay in the bally place anotherminute.\"Mr. Brewster walked away, and Archie charged round to the cashier'sdesk to get his bill. It had been hisintention in any case, though fordramatic purposes he concealed it from his adversary, to leave the hotelthat morning. One of the letters of introduction which hehad broughtover from England had resulted in an invitation from a Mrs. van Tuyl toher house-party at Miami, and he had decided to go there at once.\"Well,\"mused Archie, on his way to the station, \"one thing's certain.I'll never set foot in THAT bally place again!\"But nothing in this world is certain.CHAPTER II. ASHOCK FOR MR. BREWSTERMr. Daniel Brewster sat in his luxurious suite at the Cosmopolis,smoking one of his admirable cigars and chatting with his oldfriend,Professor Binstead. A stranger who had only encountered Mr. Brewster inthe lobby of the hotel would have been surprised at the appearance ofhissitting-room, for it had none of the rugged simplicity which was thekeynote of its owner's personal appearance. Daniel Brewster was a manwith a hobby. He waswhat Parker, his valet, termed a connoozer. Hiseducated taste in Art was one of the things which went to make theCosmopolis different from and superior toother New York hotels. He hadpersonally selected the tapestries in the dining-room and the variouspaintings throughout the building. And in his private capacityhe was anenthusiastic collector of things which Professor Binstead, whosetastes lay in the same direction, would have stolen without a twinge ofconscience if hecould have got the chance.The professor, a small man of middle age who wore tortoiseshell-rimmedspectacles, flitted covetously about the room, inspecting itstreasureswith a glistening eye. In a corner, Parker, a grave, lean individual,bent over the chafing-dish, in which he was preparing for his employerand his guesttheir simple lunch.\"Brewster,\" said Professor Binstead, pausing at the mantelpiece.Mr. Brewster looked up amiably. He was in placid mood to-day. Twoweeks andmore had passed since the meeting with Archie recorded in theprevious chapter, and he had been able to dismiss that disturbing affairfrom his mind. Since then,everything had gone splendidly with DanielBrewster, for he had just accomplished his ambition of the momentby completing the negotiations for the purchase ofa site furtherdown-town, on which he proposed to erect a new hotel. He liked buildinghotels. He had the Cosmopolis, his first-born, a summer hotel inthemountains, purchased in the previous year, and he was toying with theidea of running over to England and putting up another in London, That,however, wouldhave to wait. Meanwhile, he would concentrate on this newone down-town. It had kept him busy and worried, arranging for securingthe site; but his troubleswere over now.\"Yes?\" he said.Professor Binstead had picked up a small china figure of delicateworkmanship. It represented a warrior of pre-khaki days advancingwith aspear upon some adversary who, judging from the contented expression onthe warrior's face, was smaller than himself.\"Where did you get this?\"\"That?Mawson, my agent, found it in a little shop on the east side.\"\"Where's the other? There ought to be another. These things go in pairs.They're valueless alone.\"Mr.Brewster's brow clouded.\"I know that,\" he said shortly. \"Mawson's looking for the other oneeverywhere. If you happen across it, I give you carte blanche to buyitfor me.\"\"It must be somewhere.\"\"Yes. If you find it, don't worry about the expense. I'll settle up, nomatter what it is.\"\"I'll bear it in mind,\" said ProfessorBinstead. \"It may cost you a lotof money. I suppose you know that.\"\"I told you I don't care what it costs.\"\"It's nice to be a millionaire,\" sighed Professor"}

CESAR AT HISAPOGEEIDuring winter nights noise never ceases in the Rue Saint-Honore exceptfor a short interval. Kitchen-gardeners carrying their produce to marketcontinuethe stir of carriages returning from theatres and balls. Nearthe middle of this sustained pause in the grand symphony of Parisianuproar, which occurs about oneo'clock in the morning, the wife ofMonsieur Cesar Birotteau, a perfumer established near the Place Vendome,was startled from her sleep by a frightful dream. Shehad seen herdouble. She had appeared to herself clothed in rags, turning with ashrivelled, withered hand the latch of her own shop-door, seeming to beat thethreshold, yet at the same time seated in her armchair behind thecounter. She was asking alms of herself, and heard herself speaking fromthe doorway and alsofrom her seat at the desk.She tried to grasp her husband, but her hand fell on a cold place.Her terror became so intense that she could not move her neck,whichstiffened as if petrified; the membranes of her throat became gluedtogether, her voice failed her. She remained sitting erect in the sameposture in themiddle of the alcove, both panels of which were wideopen, her eyes staring and fixed, her hair quivering, her ears filledwith strange noises, her heart tightenedyet palpitating, and her personbathed in perspiration though chilled to the bone.Fear is a half-diseased sentiment, which presses so violently upon thehumanmechanism that the faculties are suddenly excited to the highestdegree of their power or driven to utter disorganization. Physiologistshave long wondered at thisphenomenon, which overturns their systemsand upsets all theories; it is in fact a thunderbolt working within thebeing, and, like all electric accidents, capriciousand whimsical in itscourse. This explanation will become a mere commonplace in the daywhen scientific men are brought to recognize the immense partwhichelectricity plays in human thought.Madame Birotteau now passed through several of the shocks, in some sortelectrical, which are produced by terribleexplosions of the will forcedout, or held under, by some mysterious mechanism. Thus during aperiod of time, very short if judged by a watch, but immeasurablewhencalculated by the rapidity of her impressions, the poor woman had thesupernatural power of emitting more ideas and bringing to the surfacemorerecollections than, under any ordinary use of her faculties, shecould put forth in the course of a whole day. The poignant tale of hermonologue may be abridgedinto a few absurd sentences, as contradictoryand bare of meaning as the monologue itself.\"There is no reason why Birotteau should leave my bed! He has eatensomuch veal that he may be ill. But if he were ill he would have wakedme. For nineteen years that we have slept together in this bed, in thishouse, it has neverhappened that he left his place without tellingme,--poor sheep! He never slept away except to pass the night in theguard-room. Did he come to bed to-night?Why, of course; goodness! howstupid I am.\"She cast her eyes upon the bed and saw her husband's night-cap, whichstill retained the almost conical shape of hishead.\"Can he be dead? Has he killed himself? Why?\" she went on. \"For thelast two years, since they made him deputy-mayor, he is_all-I-don't-know-how_. Toput him into public life! On the word of anhonest woman, isn't it pitiable? His business is doing well, for he gaveme a shawl. But perhaps it isn't doing well? Bah! Ishould know ofit. Does one ever know what a man has got in his head; or a womaneither?--there is no harm in that. Didn't we sell five thousand francs'worthto-day? Besides, a deputy mayor couldn't kill himself; he knowsthe laws too well. Where is he then?\"She could neither turn her neck, nor stretch out her hand topullthe bell, which would have put in motion a cook, three clerks, and ashop-boy. A prey to the nightmare, which still lasted though hermind was wide awake, sheforgot her daughter peacefully asleep in anadjoining room, the door of which opened at the foot of her bed. At lastshe cried \"Birotteau!\" but got no answer. Shethought she had called thename aloud, though in fact she had only uttered it mentally.\"Has he a mistress? He is too stupid,\" she added. \"Besides, he loves metoowell for that. Didn't he tell Madame Roguin that he had never beenunfaithful to me, even in thought? He is virtue upon earth, that man. Ifany one ever deservedparadise he does. What does he accuse himself ofto his confessor, I wonder? He must tell him a lot of fiddle-faddle.Royalist as he is, though he doesn't know why,he can't froth up hisreligion. Poor dear cat! he creeps to Mass at eight o'clock as slyly asif he were going to a bad house. He fears God for God's sake; hellisnothing to him. How could he have a mistress? He is so tied to mypetticoat that he bores me. He loves me better than his own eyes; hewould put them out for mysake. For nineteen years he has never said tome one word louder than another. His daughter is never considered beforeme. But Cesarine is here--Cesarine!Cesarine!--Birotteau has never hada thought which he did not tell me. He was right enough when he declaredto me at the Petit-Matelot that I should never knowhim till I triedhim. And _not here_! It is extraordinary!\"She turned her head with difficulty and glanced furtively about theroom, then filled with those picturesqueeffects which are the despairof language and seem to belong exclusively to the painters of genre.What words can picture the alarming zig-zags produced byfallingshadows, the fantastic appearance of curtains bulged out by the wind,the flicker of uncertain light thrown by a night-lamp upon the folds ofred calico, therays shed from a curtain-holder whose lurid centrewas like the eye of a burglar, the apparition of a kneeling dress,--inshort, all the grotesque effects which terrifythe imagination at amoment when it has no power except to foresee misfortunes and exaggeratethem? Madame Birotteau suddenly saw a strong light in the roombeyondher chamber, and thought of fire; but perceiving a red foulard whichlooked like a pool of blood, her mind turned exclusively to burglars,especially whenshe thought she saw traces of a struggle in the way thefurniture stood about the room. Recollecting the sum of money whichwas in the desk, a generous fear putan end to the chill ferment of hernightmare. She sprang terrified, and in her night-gown, into the verycentre of the room to help her husband, whom shesupposed to be in thegrasp of assassins.\"Birotteau! Birotteau!\" she cried at last in a voice full of anguish.She then saw the perfumer in the middle of the nextroom, a yard-stickin his hand measuring the air, and so ill wrapped up in his green cottondressing-gown with chocolate-colored spots that the cold hadreddenedhis legs without his feeling it, preoccupied as he was. When Cesarturned about to say to his wife, \"Well, what do you want, Constance?\"his air andmanner, like those of a man absorbed in calculations, wereso prodigiously silly that Madame Birotteau began to laugh.\"Goodness! Cesar, if you are not an odditylike that!\" she said. \"Whydid you leave me alone without telling me? I have nearly died of terror;I did not know what to imagine. What are you doing there, flyingopento all the winds? You'll get as hoarse as a wolf. Do you hear me,Birotteau?\"\"Yes, wife, here I am,\" answered the perfumer, coming into the bedroom.\"Comeand warm yourself, and tell me what maggot you've got in yourhead,\" replied Madame Birotteau opening the ashes of the fire, which shehastened to relight. \"Iam frozen. What a goose I was to get up in mynight-gown! But I really thought they were assassinating you.\"The shopkeeper put his candlestick on thechimney-piece, wrapped hisdressing-gown closer about him, and went mechanically to find a flannelpetticoat for his wife.\"Here, Mimi, cover yourself up,\" he said.\"Twenty-two by eighteen,\" heresumed, going on with his monologue; \"we can get a superb salon.\"\"Ah, ca! Birotteau, are you on the high road to insanity? Areyoudreaming?\"\"No, wife, I am calculating.\"\"You had better wait till daylight for your nonsense,\" she cried,fastening the petticoat beneath her short night-gownand going to thedoor of the room where her daughter was in bed.\"Cesarine is asleep,\" she said, \"she won't hear us. Come, Birotteau,speak up. What is it?\"\"Wecan give a ball.\"\"Give a ball! we? On the word of an honest woman, you are dreaming, myfriend.\"\"I am not dreaming, my beautiful white doe. Listen. Peopleshouldalways do what their position in life demands. Government has broughtme forward into prominence. I belong to the government; it is my duty tostudy itsmind, and further its intentions by developing them. The Ducde Richelieu has just put an end to the occupation of France bythe foreign armies. According toMonsieur de la Billardiere, thefunctionaries who represent the city of Paris should make it their duty,each in his own sphere of influence, to celebrate the liberationof ourterritory. Let us show a true patriotism which shall put these liberals,these damned intriguers, to the blush; hein? Do you think I don't lovemy country? Iwish to show the liberals, my enemies, that to love theking is to love France.\"\"Do you think you have got any enemies, my poor Birotteau?\"\"Why, yes, wife, wehave enemies. Half our friends in the quarter areour enemies. They all say, 'Birotteau has had luck; Birotteau is a manwho came from nothing: yet here he isdeputy-mayor; everything succeedswith him.' Well, they are going to be finely surprised. You are thefirst to be told that I am made a chevalier of the Legion ofhonor. Theking signed the order yesterday.\"\"Oh! then,\" said Madame Birotteau, much moved, \"of course we must givethe ball, my good friend. But what haveyou done to merit the cross?\"\"Yesterday, when Monsieur de la Billardiere told me the news,\" saidBirotteau, modestly, \"I asked myself, as you do, what claims Ihad toit; but I ended by seeing what they were, and in approving the actionof the government. In the first place, I am a royalist; I was woundedat Saint-Roch inVendemiaire: isn't it something to have borne armsin those days for the good cause? Then, according to the merchants, Iexercised my judicial functions in a wayto give general satisfaction. Iam now deputy-mayor. The king grants four crosses to the municipality ofParis; the prefect, selecting among the deputies suitablepersons to bethus decorated, has placed my name first on the list. The king moreoverknows me: thanks to old Ragon. I furnish him with the only powder heiswilling to use; we alone possess the receipt of the late queen,--poor,dear, august victim!

S. ScottDEDICATION  To George Sand  Your name, dear George, while casting a reflectedradiance on my  book, can gain no new glory from this page. And yet it is neither  self-interest nor diffidence which has led me to place it there,  but only the wishthat it should bear witness to the solid  friendship between us, which has survived our wanderings and  separations, and triumphed over the busy malice of theworld. This  feeling is hardly likely now to change. The goodly company of  friendly names, which will remain attached to my works, forms an  element of pleasurein the midst of the vexation caused by their  increasing number. Each fresh book, in fact, gives rise to fresh  annoyance, were it only in the reproaches aimed atmy too prolific  pen, as though it could rival in fertility the world from which I  draw my models! Would it not be a fine thing, George, if the  future antiquarian ofdead literatures were to find in this  company none but great names and generous hearts, friends bound by  pure and holy ties, the illustrious figures of thecentury?

And I am the first too, unless you havewritten to Blois, at our sweet tryst of letter-writing.Raise thosegreat black eyes of yours, fixed on my opening sentence,and keep this excitement for the letter which shall tell you of my firstlove. By the way, why always\"first?\" Is there, I wonder, a second love?Don't go running on like this, you will say, but tell me rather howyou made your escape from the convent where youwere to take your vows.Well, dear, I don't know about the Carmelites, but the miracle of my owndeliverance was, I can assure you, most humdrum. The cries ofan alarmedconscience triumphed over the dictates of a stern policy--there's thewhole mystery. The sombre melancholy which seized me after you lefthastenedthe happy climax, my aunt did not want to see me die of adecline, and my mother, whose one unfailing cure for my malady was anovitiate, gave way beforeher.So I am in Paris, thanks to you, my love! Dear Renee, could you haveseen me the day I found myself parted from you, well might you havegloried in the deepimpression you had made on so youthful a bosom. Wehad lived so constantly together, sharing our dreams and letting ourfancy roam together, that I verilybelieve our souls had become weldedtogether, like those two Hungarian girls, whose death we heard aboutfrom M. Beauvisage--poor misnamed being! Neversurely was man better cutout by nature for the post of convent physician!Tell me, did you not droop and sicken with your darling?In my gloomy depression, Icould do nothing but count over the tieswhich bind us. But it seemed as though distance had loosened them; Iwearied of life, like a turtle-dove widowed of hermate. Death smiledsweetly on me, and I was proceeding quietly to die. To be at Blois, atthe Carmelites, consumed by dread of having to take my vows there,aMlle. de la Valliere, but without her prelude, and without my Renee! Howcould I not be sick--sick unto death?How different it used to be! That monotonousexistence, where every hourbrings its duty, its prayer, its task, with such desperate regularitythat you can tell what a Carmelite sister is doing in any place, atanyhour of the night or day; that deadly dull routine, which crushes outall interest in one's surroundings, had become for us two a world oflife and movement.Imagination had thrown open her fairy realms, and inthese our spirits ranged at will, each in turn serving as magic steedto the other, the more alert quickeningthe drowsy; the world fromwhich our bodies were shut out became the playground of our fancy, whichreveled there in frolicsome adventure. The very _Lives ofthe Saints_helped us to understand what was so carefully left unsaid! But the daywhen I was reft of your sweet company, I became a true Carmelite, suchas theyappeared to us, a modern Danaid, who, instead of trying to filla bottomless barrel, draws every day, from Heaven knows what deep, anempty pitcher, thinking tofind it full.My aunt knew nothing of this inner life. How could she, who has made aparadise for herself within the two acres of her convent, understand myrevoltagainst life? A religious life, if embraced by girls of our age,demands either an extreme simplicity of soul, such as we, sweetheart, donot possess, or else an ardorfor self-sacrifice like that which makesmy aunt so noble a character. But she sacrificed herself for a brotherto whom she was devoted; to do the same for anunknown person or an ideais surely more than can be asked of mortals.For the last fortnight I have been gulping down so many reckless words,burying so manyreflections in my bosom, and accumulating such a storeof things to tell, fit for your ear alone, that I should certainlyhave been suffocated but for the resource ofletter-writing as a sorrysubstitute for our beloved talks. How hungry one's heart gets! I ambeginning my journal this morning, and I picture to myself that yoursisalready started, and that, in a few days, I shall be at home in yourbeautiful Gemenos valley, which I know only through your descriptions,just as you will live thatParis life, revealed to you hitherto only inour dreams.Well, then, sweet child, know that on a certain morning--a red-letterday in my life--there arrived from Parisa lady companion and Philippe,the last remaining of my grandmother's valets, charged to carry me off.When my aunt summoned me to her room and told me thenews, I could notspeak for joy, and only gazed at her stupidly.\"My child,\" she said, in her guttural voice, \"I can see that you leaveme without regret, but thisfarewell is not the last; we shall meetagain. God has placed on your forehead the sign of the elect. You havethe pride which leads to heaven or to hell, but yournature is too nobleto choose the downward path. I know you better than you know yourself;with you, passion, I can see, will be very different from what it iswithmost women.\"She drew me gently to her and kissed my forehead. The kiss made my fleshcreep, for it burned with that consuming fire which eats away herlife,which has turned to black the azure of her eyes, and softened the linesabout them, has furrowed the warm ivory of her temples, and cast asallow tinge overthe beautiful face.Before replying, I kissed her hands.\"Dear aunt,\" I said, \"I shall never forget your kindness; and if it hasnot made your nunnery all that it oughtto be for my health of body andsoul, you may be sure nothing short of a broken heart will bring meback again--and that you would not wish for me. You will notsee mehere again till my royal lover has deserted me, and I warn you that if Icatch him, death alone shall tear him from me. I fear no Montespan.\"She smiled andsaid:\"Go, madcap, and take your idle fancies with you. There is certainlymore of the bold Montespan in you than of the gentle la Valliere.\"I threw my arms roundher. The poor lady could not refrain fromescorting me to the carriage. There her tender gaze was divided betweenme and the armorial bearings.At Beaugencynight overtook me, still sunk in a stupor of the mindproduced by these strange parting words. What can be awaiting me in thisworld for which I have sohungered?To begin with, I found no one to receive me; my heart had been schooledin vain. My mother was at the Bois de Boulogne, my father at theCouncil; mybrother, the Duc de Rhetore, never comes in, I am told,till it is time to dress for dinner. Miss Griffith (she is not unlike agriffin) and Philippe took me to myrooms.The suite is the one which belonged to my beloved grandmother, thePrincess de Vauremont, to whom I owe some sort of a fortune which noone has evertold me about. As you read this, you will understandthe sadness which came over me as I entered a place sacred to so manymemories, and found the rooms justas she had left them! I was to sleepin the bed where she died.Sitting down on the edge of the sofa, I burst into tears, forgetting Iwas not alone, and rememberingonly how often I had stood there by herknees, the better to hear her words. There I had gazed upon her face,buried in its brown laces, and worn as much by ageas by the pangs ofapproaching death. The room seemed to me still warm with the heat whichshe kept up there. How comes it that Armande-Louise-Marie deChaulieumust be like some peasant girl, who sleeps in her mother's bed the verymorrow of her death? For to me it was as though the Princess, who diedin 1817,had passed away but yesterday.I saw many things in the room which ought to have been removed. Theirpresence showed the carelessness with which people,busy with theaffairs of state, may treat their own, and also the little thought whichhad been given since her death to this grand old lady, who will alwaysremainone of the striking figures of the eighteenth century. Philippeseemed to divine something of the cause of my tears. He told me that thefurniture of the Princesshad been left to me in her will and that myfather had allowed all the larger suites to remain dismantled, as theRevolution had left them. On hearing this I rose,and Philippe openedthe door of the small drawing-room which leads into the reception-rooms.In these I found all the well-remembered wreckage; the panelsabovethe doors, which had contained valuable pictures, bare of all but emptyframes; broken marbles, mirrors carried off. In old days I was afraidto go up thestate staircase and cross these vast, deserted rooms; so Iused to get to the Princess' rooms by a small staircase which runsunder the arch of the larger one andleads to the secret door of herdressing-room.My suite, consisting of a drawing-room, bedroom, and the prettymorning-room in scarlet and gold, of which I havetold you, lies in thewing on the side of the Invalides. The house is only separated from theboulevard by a wall, covered with creepers, and by a splendid avenueoftrees, which mingle their foliage with that of the young elms onthe sidewalk of the boulevard. But for the blue-and-gold dome of theInvalides and its gray stonemass, you might be in a wood.The style of decoration in these rooms, together with their situation,indicates that they were the old show suite of the duchesses,whilethe dukes must have had theirs in the wing opposite. The two suites aredecorously separated by the two main blocks, as well as by the centralone, whichcontained those vast, gloomy, resounding halls shown meby Philippe, all despoiled of their splendor, as in the days of mychildhood.Philippe grew quite"}

Always were they menaced by some frightfulthing and seldom weretheir rifles cool, yet even in the brief time they had dwelt uponCaprona they had become callous to danger, so that they swungalonglaughing and chatting like soldiers on a summer hike.\"This reminds me of South Clark Street,\" remarked Brady, who had onceserved on the traffic squad inChicago; and as no one asked him why, hevolunteered that it was \"because it's no place for an Irishman.\"\"South Clark Street and heaven have something incommon, then,\"suggested Sinclair.  James and Tippet laughed, and then a hideous growlbroke from a dense thicket ahead and diverted their attention toothermatters.\"One of them behemoths of 'Oly Writ,\" muttered Tippet as they came to ahalt and with guns ready awaited the almost inevitable charge.\"Hungry loto' beggars, these,\" said Bradley; \"always trying to eateverything they see.\"For a moment no further sound came from the thicket.  \"He may befeeding now,\"suggested Bradley.  \"We'll try to go around him.  Can'twaste ammunition.  Won't last forever.  Follow me.\"  And he set off atright angles to their former course,hoping to avert a charge.  Theyhad taken a dozen steps, perhaps, when the thicket moved to the advanceof the thing within it, the leafy branches parted, and thehideous headof a gigantic bear emerged.\"Pick your trees,\" whispered Bradley.  \"Can't waste ammunition.\"The men looked about them.  The bear took a couple ofsteps forward,still growling menacingly.  He was exposed to the shoulders now.Tippet took one look at the monster and bolted for the nearest tree;and then thebear charged.  He charged straight for Tippet.  The othermen scattered for the various trees they had selected--all exceptBradley.  He stood watching Tippet andthe bear.  The man had a goodstart and the tree was not far away; but the speed of the enormouscreature behind him was something to marvel at, yet Tippetwas in afair way to make his sanctuary when his foot caught in a tangle ofroots and down he went, his rifle flying from his hand and fallingseveral yardsaway.  Instantly Bradley's piece was at his shoulder,there was a sharp report answered by a roar of mingled rage and painfrom the carnivore.  Tippet attemptedto scramble to his feet.\"Lie still!\" shouted Bradley.  \"Can't waste ammunition.\"The bear halted in its tracks, wheeled toward Bradley and then backagain towardTippet.  Again the former's rifle spit angrily, and thebear turned again in his direction.  Bradley shouted loudly.  \"Come on,you behemoth of Holy Writ!\" hecried.  \"Come on, you duffer!  Can'twaste ammunition.\"  And as he saw the bear apparently upon the verge ofdeciding to charge him, he encouraged the idea bybacking rapidly away,knowing that an angry beast will more often charge one who moves thanone who lies still.And the bear did charge.  Like a bolt of lightninghe flashed down uponthe Englishman.  \"Now run!\"  Bradley called to Tippet and himselfturned in flight toward a nearby tree.  The other men, nowsafelyensconced upon various branches, watched the race with breathlessinterest.  Would Bradley make it?  It seemed scarce possible.  And ifhe didn't!  Jamesgasped at the thought.  Six feet at the shoulderstood the frightful mountain of blood-mad flesh and bone and sinew thatwas bearing down with the speed of anexpress train upon the seeminglyslow-moving man.It all happened in a few seconds; but they were seconds that seemedlike hours to the men whowatched.  They saw Tippet leap to his feet atBradley's shouted warning.  They saw him run, stooping to recover hisrifle as he passed the spot where it hadfallen.  They saw him glanceback toward Bradley, and then they saw him stop short of the tree thatmight have given him safety and turn back in the direction ofthe bear.Firing as he ran, Tippet raced after the great cave bear--the monstrousthing that should have been extinct ages before--ran for it and firedeven as thebeast was almost upon Bradley.  The men in the treesscarcely breathed.  It seemed to them such a futile thing for Tippet todo, and Tippet of all men!  They hadnever looked upon Tippet as acoward--there seemed to be no cowards among that strangely assortedcompany that Fate had gathered together from the fourcorners of theearth--but Tippet was considered a cautious man.  Overcautious, somethought him.  How futile he and his little pop-gun appeared as hedashedafter that living engine of destruction!  But, oh, how glorious!It was some such thought as this that ran through Brady's mind, thougharticulated it might havebeen expressed otherwise, albeit moreforcefully.Just then it occurred to Brady to fire and he, too, opened upon thebear, but at the same instant the animalstumbled and fell forward,though still growling most fearsomely.  Tippet never stopped running orfiring until he stood within a foot of the brute, which layalmosttouching Bradley and was already struggling to regain its feet.Placing the muzzle of his gun against the bear's ear, Tippet pulled thetrigger.  The creaturesank limply to the ground and Bradley scrambledto his feet.\"Good work, Tippet,\" he said.  \"Mightily obliged to you--awful waste ofammunition, really.\"And thenthey resumed the march and in fifteen minutes the encounterhad ceased even to be a topic of conversation.For two days they continued upon their perilousway.  Already thecliffs loomed high and forbidding close ahead without sign of break toencourage hope that somewhere they might be scaled.  Late intheafternoon the party crossed a small stream of warm water upon thesluggishly moving surface of which floated countless millions of tinygreen eggs surroundedby a light scum of the same color, though of adarker shade.  Their past experience of Caspak had taught them thatthey might expect to come upon a stagnantpool of warm water if theyfollowed the stream to its source; but there they were almost certainto find some of Caspak's grotesque, manlike creatures.  Alreadysincethey had disembarked from the U-33 after its perilous trip through thesubterranean channel beneath the barrier cliffs had brought them intothe inland sea ofCaspak, had they encountered what had appeared to bethree distinct types of these creatures.  There had been the pureapes--huge, gorillalike beasts--and thosewho walked, a trifle moreerect and had features with just a shade more of the human cast aboutthem.  Then there were men like Ahm, whom they had capturedandconfined at the fort--Ahm, the club-man.  \"Well-known club-man,\" Tylerhad called him.  Ahm and his people had knowledge of a speech.  Theyhad alanguage, in which they were unlike the race just inferior tothem, and they walked much more erect and were less hairy: but it wasprincipally the fact that theypossessed a spoken language and carrieda weapon that differentiated them from the others.All of these peoples had proven belligerent in the extreme.  Incommonwith the rest of the fauna of Caprona the first law of nature as theyseemed to understand it was to kill--kill--kill.  And so it was thatBradley had no desireto follow up the little stream toward the poolnear which were sure to be the caves of some savage tribe, but fortuneplayed him an unkind trick, for the pool wasmuch closer than heimagined, its southern end reaching fully a mile south of the point atwhich they crossed the stream, and so it was that after forcing theirwaythrough a tangle of jungle vegetation they came out upon the edgeof the pool which they had wished to avoid.Almost simultaneously there appeared south ofthem a party of naked menarmed with clubs and hatchets.  Both parties halted as they caughtsight of one another.  The men from the fort saw before them ahuntingparty evidently returning to its caves or village laden with meat.They were large men with features closely resembling those of theAfrican Negro thoughtheir skins were white.  Short hair grew upon alarge portion of their limbs and bodies, which still retained aconsiderable trace of apish progenitors.  They were,however, adistinctly higher type than the Bo-lu, or club-men.Bradley would have been glad to have averted a meeting; but as hedesired to lead his party southaround the end of the pool, and as itwas hemmed in by the jungle on one side and the water on the other,there seemed no escape from an encounter.On thechance that he might avoid a clash, Bradley stepped forward withupraised hand.  \"We are friends,\" he called in the tongue of Ahm, theBo-lu, who had been held aprisoner at the fort; \"permit us to pass inpeace.  We will not harm you.\"At this the hatchet-men set up a great jabbering with much laughter,loud andboisterous.  \"No,\" shouted one, \"you will not harm us, for weshall kill you.  Come!  We kill!  We kill!\" And with hideous shoutsthey charged down upon theEuropeans.\"Sinclair, you may fire,\" said Bradley quietly.  \"Pick off the leader.Can't waste ammunition.\"The Englishman raised his piece to his shoulder and tookquick aim atthe breast of the yelling savage leaping toward them.  Directly behindthe leader came another hatchet-man, and with the report of Sinclair'srifle bothwarriors lunged forward in the tall grass, pierced by thesame bullet.  The effect upon the rest of the band was electrical.  Asone man they came to a sudden halt,wheeled to the east and dashed intothe jungle, where the men could hear them forcing their way in aneffort to put as much distance as possible betweenthemselves and theauthors of this new and frightful noise that killed warriors at a greatdistance.Both the savages were dead when Bradley approached toexamine them, andas the Europeans gathered around, other eyes were bent upon them withgreater curiosity than they displayed for the victim ofSinclair'sbullet.  When the party again took up the march around the southern endof the pool the owner of the eyes followed them--large, round eyes,almost"}

You've seen it before, but not since I'veimproved it. I'm speaking of my new electric rifle. I've got itready to try, now, and I'dlike to see what you think of it. There'sa rifle range over at the house, and we can practice some shooting,if you haven't anything else to do.\"\"I haven't, and I'll beglad to come. What are you doing in thebank, anyhow; putting away more of your wealth, Tom?\"\"Yes, I just made a little deposit. It's some money I got fromthegovernment for the patents on my sky racer, and I'm salting it downhere until Dad and I can think of a better investment.\"\"Good idea. Bring us all the moneyyou can,\" and the bank clerk, whoheld a small amount of stock in the financial institution, laughed,his chum joining in with him.\"Well, then. I'll expect you overthis evening,\" went on theyouthful inventor, as he turned to leave the bank.\"Yes, I'll be there. Say, Tom, have you heard the latest about AndyFoger?\"\"No, Ihaven't heard much since he left town right after I beat himin the aeroplane race at Eagle Park.\"\"Well, he's out of town all right, and I guess for a long timethistrip. He's gone to Europe.\"\"To Europe, eh? Well, he threatened to go there after he failed tobeat me in the race, but I thought he was only bluffing.\"\"No, he'sreally gone this time.\"\"Well, I, for one, am glad of it. Did he take his aeroplane along?\"\"Yes, that's what he went for. It seems that this Mr. Landbacher,theGerman who really invented it, and built it with money which Mr.Foger supplied, has an idea he can interest the German or some otherEuropean government inthe machine. Andy wanted to go along withhim, and as Mr. Foger financed the scheme, I guess he thought itwould be a good thing to have some one representhim. So Andy'sgone.\"\"Then he won't bother me. Well, I must get along. I'll expect youover to-night,\" and with a wave of his hand Tom Swift hurried fromthebank.The young inventor jumped into his electric runabout which stoodoutside the institution, and was about to start off when he saw anewsboy selling paperswhich had just come in from New York, on themorning train.\"Here, Jack, give me a TIMES,\" called Tom to the lad, and he tossedthe newsboy a nickel. Then, afterglancing at the front page, andnoting the headings, Tom started off his speedy car, in which, onone occasion, he had made a great run, against time. He wassoon athome.\"Well, Dad, I've got the money safely put away,\" he remarked to anaged gentleman who sat in the library reading a book. \"Now we won'thave toworry about thieves until we get some more cash in.\"\"Well, I'm glad it's coming in so plentifully,\" said Mr. Swift witha smile. \"Since my illness I haven't been ableto do much, Tom, andit all depends on you, now.\"\"Don't let that worry you, Dad. You'll soon be as busy as ever,\"for, following a serious operation for an ailmentof the heart, Mr.Swift, who was a veteran inventor, had not been able to do much. Butthe devices of his son, especially a speedy monoplane, which Tominvented,and sold to the United States Government, were nowbringing them in a large income. In fact with royalties from hisinventions and some gold and diamonds whichhe had secured on twoperilous trips, Tom Swift was quite wealthy.\"I'll never be as busy as I once was,\" went on Mr. Swift, a littleregretfully, \"but I don't knowthat I care as long as you continueto turn out new machines, Tom. By the way, how is the electric riflecoming on? I haven't heard you speak of it lately.\"\"It'spractically finished, Dad. It worked pretty well the time Itook it when we went on the trip to the caves of ice, but I'veimproved it very much since then. In fact I'mgoing to give it asevere test to-night. Ned Newton is coming over, and it may be thatthen we'll find out something about it that could be bettered. But Ithink not.It suits me as it is.\"\"So Ned is coming over to see it; eh? You ought to have Mr. Damonhere to bless it a few times.\"\"Yes, I wish I did. And he may come along atany moment, as it is.You never can tell when he is going to turn up. Mrs. Baggert saysyou were out walking while I was at the bank, Dad. Do you feelbetter afterit?\"\"Yes, I think I do, Tom. Oh, I'm growing stronger every day, but itwill take time. But now tell me something about the electric gun.\"Thereupon the younginventor related to his father some facts aboutthe improvements he had recently made to the weapon. It was dinnertime when he had finished, and, after themeal Tom went out to theshed where he built his aeroplanes and his airships, and in whichbuilding he had fitted up a shooting gallery.\"I'll get ready for the trialto-night,\" he said \"I want to see whatit will do to a dummy figure. Guess I'll make a sort of scarecrowand stuff it with straw. I'll get Eradicate to help me. Rad! Isay,Rad! Where are you?\"\"Heah I is, Massa Tom! Heah I is,\" called a colored man as he camearound the corner of a small stable where he kept hismuleBoomerang. \"Was yo'-all callin' me?\"\"Yes, Rad, I want you to help make a scarecrow.\"\"A scarecrow, Massa Tom! Good land a' massy! What fo' yo' want obascarecrow? Yo'-all ain't raisin' no corn, am yo'?\"\"No, but I want something to shoot at when Ned Newton comes overto-night.\"\"Suffin t' shoot at? Why MassaTom! Good land a' massy! Yo'-allain't gwine t' hab no duel, am yo'?\"\"No, Rad, but I want a life-size figure on which to try my newelectric gun. Here are some oldclothes, and if you will stuff themwith rags and straw and fix them so they'll stand up, they'll dofirst-rate. Have it ready by night, and set it up at the far end oftheshooting gallery.\"\"All right, Massa Tom. I'll jest do dat, fo' yo',\" and leaving thecolored man to stuff the figure, after he had showed him how, Tomwent back intothe house to read the paper which he had purchasedthat morning.He skimmed over the news, thinking perhaps he might see something ofthe going abroad ofAndy Foger with the German aeroplane, but therewas nothing.\"I almost wish I was going to Europe,\" sighed Tom. \"I will certainlyhave to get busy at something,soon. I haven't had any adventuresince I won the prize at the Eagle Park aviation meet in my skyracer. Jove! That was some excitement! I'd like to do thatoveragain, only I shouldn't want to have Dad so sick,\" for just beforethe race, Tom had saved his father's life by making a quick run inthe aeroplane, to bring acelebrated surgeon to the invalid's aid.\"I certainly wish I could have some new adventures,\" mused Tom, ashe turned the pages of the paper. \"I could afford totake a triparound the earth after them, too, with the way money is coming innow. Yes, I do wish I could have some excitement. Hello, what'sthis! A big elephanthunt in Africa. Hundreds of the huge creaturescaptured in a trap--driven in by tame beasts. Some are shot fortheir tusks. Others will be sent to museums.\"He wasreading the headlines of the article that had attracted hisattention, and, as he read, he became more and more absorbed in it.He read the story through twice,and then, with sparkling eyes, heexclaimed:\"That's just what I want. Elephant shooting in Africa! My! With mynew electric rifle, and an airship, what couldn't afellow do overin the dark continent! I've a good notion to go there! I wonder ifNed would go with me? Mr. Damon certainly would. Elephant shootingin Africa! Inan airship! I could finish my new sky craft in shortorder if I wanted to. I've a good notion to do it!\"CHAPTER IITRYING THE NEW GUNWhile Tom Swift is thusabsorbed in thinking about a chance to huntelephants, we will take the opportunity to tell you a little moreabout him, and then go on with the story.Many of youalready know the young inventor, but those who do notmay be interested in hearing that he is a young American lad, fullof grit and ginger, who lives with hisaged father in the town ofShopton, in New York State. Our hero was first introduced to thepublic in the book, \"Tom Swift and His Motorcycle.\"In that volume itwas related how Tom bought a motor-cycle from aMr. Wakefield Damon, of Waterford. Mr. Damon was an eccentricindividual, who was continually blessinghimself, some one else, orsomething belonging to him. His motor-cycle tried to climb a treewith him, and that was why he sold it to Tom. The two thusbecameacquainted, and their friendship grew from year to year.After many adventures on his motor-cycle Tom got a motor-boat, andhad some exciting times inthat. One of the things he and his fatherand his chum, Ned Newton, did, was to rescue, from a burning balloonthat had fallen into Lake Carlopa, an aeronautnamed John Sharp.Later Tom and Mr. Sharp built an airship called the Red Cloud, andwith Mr. Damon and some others had a series of remarkable fights.In theRed Cloud they got on the track of some bank robbers, andcaptured them, thus foiling the plans of Andy Foger, a town bully,and one of Tom's enemies, andputting to confusion the plot of Mr.Foger, Andy's father.After many adventures in the air Tom and his friends, in a submarineboat, invented by Mr. Swift, wentunder the ocean for sunkentreasure and secured a large part of it.It was not long after this that Tom conceived the idea of a powerfulelectric car, which proved, tobe the speediest of the road, and init he won a great race, and saved from ruin a bank in which hisfather and Mr. Damon were interested.The sixth book of theseries, entitled \"Tom Swift and His WirelessMessage,\" tells how, in testing a new electric airship, which afriend of Mr. Damon's had invented, Tom, the inventor"}

After having escaped all the dangerswhichthreatened the royalist leaders during this stormy period ofmodern history, he was wont to say in jest, \"I am one of the men whogave themselves to be killed onthe steps of the throne.\" And thepleasantry had some truth in it, as spoken by a man left for dead at thebloody battle of Les Quatre Chemins. Though ruined byconfiscation, thestaunch Vendeen steadily refused the lucrative posts offered to himby the Emperor Napoleon. Immovable in his aristocratic faith, he hadblindlyobeyed its precepts when he thought it fitting to choosea companion for life. In spite of the blandishments of a rich butrevolutionary parvenu, who valued thealliance at a high figure, hemarried Mademoiselle de Kergarouet, without a fortune, but belonging toone of the oldest families in Brittany.When the secondrevolution burst on Monsieur de Fontaine he wasencumbered with a large family. Though it was no part of the noblegentlemen's views to solicit favors, he yieldedto his wife's wish, lefthis country estate, of which the income barely sufficed to maintain hischildren, and came to Paris. Saddened by seeing the greediness ofhisformer comrades in the rush for places and dignities under the newConstitution, he was about to return to his property when he received aministerial despatch,in which a well-known magnate announced to him hisnomination as marechal de camp, or brigadier-general, under a rulewhich allowed the officers of the Catholicarmies to count the twentysubmerged years of Louis XVIII.'s reign as years of service. Some dayslater he further received, without any solicitation, ex officio,thecrosses of the Legion of Honor and of Saint-Louis.Shaken in his determination by these successive favors, due, as hesupposed, to the monarch'sremembrance, he was no longer satisfied withtaking his family, as he had piously done every Sunday, to cry \"Vive leRoi\" in the hall of the Tuileries when the royalfamily passed throughon their way to chapel; he craved the favor of a private audience.The audience, at once granted, was in no sense private. Theroyaldrawing-room was full of old adherents, whose powdered heads, seen fromabove, suggested a carpet of snow. There the Count met some old friends,whoreceived him somewhat coldly; but the princes he thought ADORABLE,an enthusiastic expression which escaped him when the most gracious ofhis masters, towhom the Count had supposed himself to be known onlyby name, came to shake hands with him, and spoke of him as the mostthorough Vendeen of them all.Notwithstanding this ovation, none ofthese august persons thought of inquiring as to the sum of his losses,or of the money he had poured so generously into thechests of theCatholic regiments. He discovered, a little late, that he had made warat his own cost. Towards the end of the evening he thought he mightventure ona witty allusion to the state of his affairs, similar, asit was, to that of many other gentlemen. His Majesty laughed heartilyenough; any speech that bore thehall-mark of wit was certain to pleasehim; but he nevertheless replied with one of those royal pleasantrieswhose sweetness is more formidable than the anger ofa rebuke. One ofthe King's most intimate advisers took an opportunity of going up to thefortune-seeking Vendeen, and made him understand by a keen andpolitehint that the time had not yet come for settling accounts with thesovereign; that there were bills of much longer standing than his on thebooks, and there,no doubt, they would remain, as part of the history ofthe Revolution. The Count prudently withdrew from the venerable group,which formed a respectfulsemi-circle before the august family; then,having extricated his sword, not without some difficulty, from among thelean legs which had got mixed up with it, hecrossed the courtyard ofthe Tuileries and got into the hackney cab he had left on the quay. Withthe restive spirit, which is peculiar to the nobility of the oldschool,in whom still survives the memory of the League and the day of theBarricades (in 1588), he bewailed himself in his cab, loudly enoughto compromise him,over the change that had come over the Court.\"Formerly,\" he said to himself, \"every one could speak freely to theKing of his own little affairs; the nobles couldask him a favor, or formoney, when it suited them, and nowadays one cannot recover the moneyadvanced for his service without raising a scandal! By Heaven!the crossof Saint-Louis and the rank of brigadier-general will not make good thethree hundred thousand livres I have spent, out and out, on the royalcause. Imust speak to the King, face to face, in his own room.\"This scene cooled Monsieur de Fontaine's ardor all the more effectuallybecause his requests for aninterview were never answered. And,indeed, he saw the upstarts of the Empire obtaining some of the officesreserved, under the old monarchy, for the highestfamilies.\"All is lost!\" he exclaimed one morning. \"The King has certainly neverbeen other than a revolutionary. But for Monsieur, who never derogates,and is somecomfort to his faithful adherents, I do not know what handsthe crown of France might not fall into if things are to go onlike this. Their cursed constitutional systemis the worst possiblegovernment, and can never suit France. Louis XVIII. and Monsieur Beugnotspoiled everything at Saint Ouen.\"The Count, in despair, waspreparing to retire to his estate,abandoning, with dignity, all claims to repayment. At this momentthe events of the 20th March (1815) gave warning of a freshstorm,threatening to overwhelm the legitimate monarch and his defenders.Monsieur de Fontaine, like one of those generous souls who do notdismiss a servant ina torrent of rain; borrowed on his lands tofollow the routed monarchy, without knowing whether this complicity inemigration would prove more propitious to himthan his past devotion.But when he perceived that the companions of the King's exile werein higher favor than the brave men who had protested, sword inhand,against the establishment of the republic, he may perhaps have hoped toderive greater profit from this journey into a foreign land than fromactive anddangerous service in the heart of his own country. Nor washis courtier-like calculation one of these rash speculations whichpromise splendid results on paper, andare ruinous in effect. He was--toquote the wittiest and most successful of our diplomates--one of thefaithful five hundred who shared the exile of the Court atGhent,and one of the fifty thousand who returned with it. During the shortbanishment of royalty, Monsieur de Fontaine was so happy as to beemployed by LouisXVIII., and found more than one opportunity of givinghim proofs of great political honesty and sincere attachment. Oneevening, when the King had nothing betterto do, he recalled Monsieur deFontaine's witticism at the Tuileries. The old Vendeen did not let sucha happy chance slip; he told his history with so much vivacitythata king, who never forgot anything, might remember it at a convenientseason. The royal amateur of literature also observed the elegant stylegiven to somenotes which the discreet gentleman had been invited torecast. This little success stamped Monsieur de Fontaine on the King'smemory as one of the loyal servantsof the Crown.At the second restoration the Count was one of those special envoys whowere sent throughout the departments charged with absolutejurisdictionover the leaders of revolt; but he used his terrible powers withmoderation. As soon as the temporary commission was ended, the HighProvost found aseat in the Privy Council, became a deputy, spokelittle, listened much, and changed his opinions very considerably.Certain circumstances, unknown to historians,brought him into suchintimate relations with the Sovereign, that one day, as he came in, theshrewd monarch addressed him thus: \"My friend Fontaine, I shalltakecare never to appoint you to be director-general, or minister. Neitheryou nor I, as employees, could keep our place on account of our opinions.Representativegovernment has this advantage; it saves Us the trouble Weused to have, of dismissing Our Secretaries of State. Our Council isa perfect inn-parlor, whither publicopinion sometimes sends strangetravelers; however, We can always find a place for Our faithfuladherents.\"This ironical speech was introductory to a rescriptgiving Monsieur deFontaine an appointment as administrator in the office of Crown lands.As a consequence of the intelligent attention with which he listened tohisroyal Friend's sarcasms, his name always rose to His Majesty'slips when a commission was to be appointed of which the members wereto receive a handsomesalary. He had the good sense to hold his tongueabout the favor with which he was honored, and knew how to entertain themonarch in those familiar chats inwhich Louis XVIII. delighted asmuch as in a well-written note, by his brilliant manner ofrepeating political anecdotes, and the political orparliamentarytittle-tattle--if the expression may pass--which at that time was rife.It is well known that he was immensely amused by every detail ofhisGouvernementabilite--a word adopted by his facetious Majesty.Thanks to the Comte de Fontaine's good sense, wit, and tact, everymember of his numerousfamily, however young, ended, as he jestinglytold his Sovereign, in attaching himself like a silkworm to the leavesof the Pay-List. Thus, by the King's intervention,his eldest sonfound a high and fixed position as a lawyer. The second, before therestoration a mere captain, was appointed to the command of a legion onthereturn from Ghent; then, thanks to the confusion of 1815, when theregulations were evaded, he passed into the bodyguard, returned to aline regiment, andfound himself after the affair of the Trocaderoa lieutenant-general with a commission in the Guards. The youngest,appointed sous-prefet, ere long became a legalofficial and director ofa municipal board of the city of Paris, where he was safe from changesin Legislature. These bounties, bestowed without parade, and assecretas the favor enjoyed by the Count, fell unperceived. Though the fatherand his three sons each had sinecures enough to enjoy an income insalaries almostequal to that of a chief of department, their politicalgood fortune excited no envy. In those early days of the constitutionalsystem, few persons had very preciseideas of the peaceful domain of thecivil service, where astute favorites managed to find an equivalent forthe demolished abbeys.

The character of the Author (Marcus TulliusCicero) is so universally celebrated, that it would be needless, andindeedimpertinent, to say any thing to recommend them.The first of them was the fruit of his retirement, during the remains ofthe _Civil War_ in Africa; and wascomposed in the form of a Dialogue. Itcontains a few short, but very masterly sketches of all the Speakerswho had flourished either in Greece or Rome, with anyreputation ofEloquence, down to his own time; and as he generally touches the principalincidents of their lives, it will be considered, by an attentive reader,as a_concealed epitome of the Roman history_. The conference is supposedto have been held with Atticus, and their common friend Brutus, inCicero's garden atRome, under the statue of Plato, whom he alwaysadmired, and usually imitated in his dialogues: and he seems in this tohave copied even his _double titles_,calling it _Brutus, or the Historyof famous Orators_. It was intended as a _supplement_, or _fourth book_,to three former ones, on the qualifications of anOrator.The second, which is intitled _The Orator_, was composed a very short timeafterwards (both of them in the 61st year of his age) and at the requestofBrutus. It contains a plan, or critical delineation, of what he himselfesteemed the most finished Eloquence, or style of Speaking. He calls it_The Fifth Part, orBook_, designed to complete his _Brutus_, and _theformer three_ on the same subject. It was received with great approbation;and in a letter to Lepta, who hadcomplimented him upon it, he declares,that whatever judgment he had in Speaking, he had thrown it all into thatwork, and was content to risk his reputation onthe merit of it. But it isparticularly recommended to our curiosity, by a more exact account of therhetorical _composition_, or _prosaic harmony_ of the ancients,than is tobe met with in any other part of his works.As to the present Translation, I must leave the merit of it to be decidedby the Public; and have only toobserve, that though I have not, to myknowledge, omitted a single sentence of the original, I was obliged, insome places, to paraphrase my author, to render hismeaning intelligibleto a modern reader. My chief aim was to be clear and perspicuous: if Ihave succeeded in _that_, it is all I pretend to. I must leave it toablerpens to copy the _Eloquence_ of Cicero. _Mine_ is unequal to the task.BRUTUS, OR THE HISTORY OF ELOQUENCE.When I had left Cilicia, and arrived atRhodes, word was brought me of thedeath of Hortensius. I was more affected with it than, I believe, wasgenerally expected. For, by the loss of my friend, I sawmyself for everdeprived of the pleasure of his acquaintance, and of our mutualintercourse of good offices. I likewise reflected, with Concern, that thedignity of ourCollege must suffer greatly by the decease of such aneminent augur. This reminded me, that _he_ was the person who firstintroduced me to the College, wherehe attested my qualification uponoath; and that it was _he_ also who installed me as a member; so that Iwas bound by the constitution of the Order to respectand honour him as aparent. My affliction was increased, that, in such a deplorable dearth ofwife and virtuous citizens, this excellent man, my faithful associateinthe service of the Public, expired at the very time when the Commonwealthcould least spare him, and when we had the greatest reason to regret thewant of hisprudence and authority. I can add, very sincerely, that in_him_ I lamented the loss, not (as most people imagined) of a dangerousrival and competitor, but of agenerous partner and companion in thepursuit of same. For if we have instances in history, though in studies ofless public consequence, that some of the poetshave been greatlyafflicted at the death of their contemporary bards; with what tenderconcern should I honour the memory of a man, with whom it is moregloriousto have disputed the prize of eloquence, than never to have met with anantagonist! especially, as he was always so far from obstructing_my_endeavours, or I _his_, that, on the contrary, we mutually assisted eachother, with our credit and advice.But as _he_, who had a perpetual run of felicity,left the world at ahappy moment for himself, though a most unfortunate one for his fellow-citizens; and died when it would have been much easier for him tolamentthe miseries of his country, than to assist it, after living in it as longas he _could_ have lived with honour and reputation;--we may, indeed,deplore hisdeath as a heavy loss to _us_ who survive him. If, however, weconsider it merely as a personal event, we ought rather to congratulatehis fate, than to pity it;that, as often as we revive the memory of thisillustrious and truly happy man, we may appear at least to have as muchaffection for him as for ourselves. For if weonly lament that we are nolonger permitted to enjoy him, it must, indeed, be acknowledged that thisis a heavy misfortune to _us_; which it, however, becomesus to supportwith moderation, less our sorrow should be suspected to arise from motivesof interest, and not from friendship. But if we afflict ourselves, onthesupposition that _he_ was the sufferer;--we misconstrue an event, which to_him_ was certainly a very happy one.If Hortensius was now living, he wouldprobably regret many otheradvantages in common with his worthy fellow-citizens. But when he beheldthe Forum, the great theatre in which he used to exercisehis genius, nolonger accessible to that accomplished eloquence, which could charm theears of a Roman, or a Grecian audience; he must have felt a pang ofwhichnone, or at least but few, besides himself, could be susceptible. Even _I_am unable to restrain my tears, when I behold my country no longerdefensible bythe genius, the prudence, and the authority of a legalmagistrate,--the only weapons which I have learned to weild, and to whichI have long been accustomed,and which are most suitable to the characterof an illustrious citizen, and of a virtuous and well-regulated state.But if there ever was a time, when the authorityand eloquence of anhonest individual could have wrested their arms from the hands of hisdistracted fellow-citizens; it was then when the proposal of acompromiseof our mutual differences was rejected, by the hasty imprudence of some,and the timorous mistrust of others. Thus it happened, amongothermisfortunes of a more deplorable nature, that when my declining age, aftera life spent in the service of the Public, should have reposed in thepeacefulharbour, not of an indolent, and a total inactivity, but of amoderate and becoming retirement; and when my eloquence was properlymellowed, and had acquiredits full maturity;--thus it happened, I say,that recourse was then had to those fatal arms, which the persons who hadlearned the use of them in honourableconquest, could no longer employ toany salutary purpose. Those, therefore, appear to me to have enjoyed afortunate and a happy life, (of whatever State theywere members, butespecially in _our's_) who held their authority and reputation, either fortheir military or political services, without interruption: and thesoleremembrance of them, in our present melancholy situation, was a pleasingrelief to me, when we lately happened to mention them in the courseofconversation.For, not long ago, when I was walking for my amusement, in a privateavenue at home, I was agreeably interrupted by my friend Brutus, andT.Pomponius, who came, as indeed they frequently did, to visit me;--twoworthy citizens who were united to each other in the closest friendship,and were so dearand so agreeable to me, that, on the first sight of them,all my anxiety for the Commonwealth subsided. After the usualsalutations,--\"Well, gentlemen,\" said I,\"how go the times? What news haveyou brought?\" \"None,\" replied Brutus, \"that you would wish to hear, orthat I can venture to tell you for truth.\"--\"No,\" saidAtticus; \"we arecome with an intention that all matters of state should be dropped; andrather to hear something from you, than to say any thing which mightserveto distress you.\" \"Indeed,\" said I, \"your company is a present remedy formy sorrow; and your letters, when absent, were so encouraging, that theyfirstrevived my attention to my studies.\"--\"I remember,\" repliedAtticus, \"that Brutus sent you a letter from Asia, which I read withinfinite pleasure: for he advised youin it like a man of sense, and gaveyou every consolation which the warmest friendship could suggest.\"--\"True,\" said I, \"for it was the receipt of that letter whichrecovered mefrom a growing indisposition, to behold once more the cheerful face ofday; and as the Roman State, after the dreadful defeat near Cannae,firstraised its drooping head by the victory of Marcellus at Nola, which wassucceeded by many other victories; so, after the dismal wreck of ouraffairs, both publicand private, nothing occurred to me before the letterof my friend Brutus, which I thought to be worth my attention, or whichcontributed, in any degree, to theanxiety of my heart.\"--\"That wascertainly my intention,\" answered Brutus; \"and if I had the happiness tosucceed, I was sufficiently rewarded for my trouble. But Icould wish tobe informed, what you received from Atticus which gave you such uncommonpleasure.\"--\"That,\" said I, \"which not only entertained me; but, Ihope,has restored me entirely to myself.\"--\"Indeed!\" replied he; \"and whatmiraculous composition could that be?\"--\"Nothing,\" answered I; \"could havebeen amore acceptable, or a more seasonable present, than that excellentTreatise of his which roused me from a state of languor and despondency.\"--\"You mean,\" saidhe, \"his short, and, I think, very accurate abridgmentof Universal History.\"--\"The very same,\" said I; \"for that little Treatisehas absolutely saved me.\"--\"I amheartily glad of it,\" said Atticus; \"butwhat could you discover in it which was either new to you, or sowonderfully beneficial as you pretend?\"--\"It certainlyfurnished manyhints,\" said I, \"which were entirely new to me: and the exact order oftime which you observed through the whole, gave me the opportunity Ihadlong wished for, of beholding the history of all nations in one regularand comprehensive view. The attentive perusal of it proved an excellentremedy for my"}

WhenPat swung them on top of the luggage they wobbled; the grandmother'slap was full and Linda Burnell could not possibly haveheld a lump ofa child on hers for any distance. Isabel, very superior, was perchedbeside the new handy-man on the driver's seat. Hold-alls, bags andboxes werepiled upon the floor. \"These are absolute necessities thatI will not let out of my sight for one instant,\" said Linda Burnell,her voice trembling with fatigue andexcitement.Lottie and Kezia stood on the patch of lawn just inside the gate allready for the fray in their coats with brass anchor buttons and littleround caps withbattleship ribbons. Hand in hand, they stared withround solemn eyes first at the absolute necessities and then at theirmother.\"We shall simply have to leavethem. That is all. We shall simply haveto cast them off,\" said Linda Burnell. A strange little laugh flewfrom her lips; she leaned back against the buttoned leathercushionsand shut her eyes, her lips trembling with laughter. Happily at thatmoment Mrs. Samuel Josephs, who had been watching the scene frombehind herdrawing-room blind, waddled down the garden path.\"Why nod leave the chudren with be for the afterdoon, Brs. Burnell?They could go on the dray with thestoreban when he comes in theeveding. Those thigs on the path have to go, dod't they?\"\"Yes, everything outside the house is supposed to go,\" said LindaBurnell,and she waved a white hand at the tables and chairs standingon their heads on the front lawn. How absurd they looked! Either theyought to be the other way up,or Lottie and Kezia ought to stand ontheir heads, too. And she longed to say: \"Stand on your heads,children, and wait for the store-man.\" It seemed to her thatwould beso exquisitely funny that she could not attend to Mrs. Samuel Josephs.The fat creaking body leaned across the gate, and the big jelly of aface smiled.\"Dod't you worry, Brs. Burnell. Loddie and Kezia can havetea with by chudren in the dursery, and I'll see theb on the drayafterwards.\"The grandmotherconsidered. \"Yes, it really is quite the best plan. Weare very obliged to you, Mrs. Samuel Josephs. Children, say 'thankyou' to Mrs. Samuel Josephs.\"Two subduedchirrups: \"Thank you, Mrs. Samuel Josephs.\"\"And be good little girls, and--come closer--\" they advanced, \"don'tforget to tell Mrs. Samuel Josephs when you wantto. . . .\"\"No, granma.\"\"Dod't worry, Brs. Burnell.\"At the last moment Kezia let go Lottie's hand and darted towards thebuggy.\"I want to kiss my granma good-byeagain.\"But she was too late. The buggy rolled off up the road, Isabelbursting with pride, her nose turned up at all the world, LindaBurnell prostrated, and thegrandmother rummaging among the verycurious oddments she had had put in her black silk reticule at thelast moment, for something to give her daughter. Thebuggy twinkledaway in the sunlight and fine golden dust up the hill and over. Keziabit her lip, but Lottie, carefully finding her handkerchief first, setup awail.\"Mother! Granma!\"Mrs. Samuel Josephs, like a huge warm black silk tea cosy, envelopedher.\"It's all right, by dear. Be a brave child. You come and blay inthedursery!\"She put her arm round weeping Lottie and led her away. Kezia followed,making a face at Mrs. Samuel Josephs' placket, which was undone asusual,with two long pink corset laces hanging out of it. . . .Lottie's weeping died down as she mounted the stairs, but the sight ofher at the nursery door with swolleneyes and a blob of a nose gavegreat satisfaction to the S. J.'s, who sat on two benches before along table covered with American cloth and set out with immenseplatesof bread and dripping and two brown jugs that faintly steamed.\"Hullo! You've been crying!\"\"Ooh! Your eyes have gone right in.\"\"Doesn't her nose lookfunny.\"\"You're all red-and-patchy.\"Lottie was quite a success. She felt it and swelled, smiling timidly.\"Go and sit by Zaidee, ducky,\" said Mrs. Samuel Josephs,\"and Kezia,you sid ad the end by Boses.\"Moses grinned and gave her a nip as she sat down; but she pretendednot to notice. She did hate boys.\"Which will youhave?\" asked Stanley, leaning across the table verypolitely, and smiling at her. \"Which will you have to beginwith--strawberries and cream or bread anddripping?\"\"Strawberries and cream, please,\" said she.\"Ah-h-h-h.\" How they all laughed and beat the table with theirteaspoons. Wasn't that a take in! Wasn't itnow! Didn't he fox her!Good old Stan!\"Ma! She thought it was real.\"Even Mrs. Samuel Josephs, pouring out the milk and water, could nothelp smiling. \"Youbustn't tease theb on their last day,\" she wheezed.But Kezia bit a big piece out of her bread and dripping, and thenstood the piece up on her plate. With the biteout it made a dearlittle sort of a gate. Pooh! She didn't care! A tear rolled down hercheek, but she wasn't crying. She couldn't have cried in front ofthose awfulSamuel Josephs. She sat with her head bent, and as thetear dripped slowly down, she caught it with a neat little whisk ofher tongue and ate it before any of themhad seen.2After tea Kezia wandered back to their own house. Slowly she walked upthe back steps, and through the scullery into the kitchen. Nothing wasleft in itbut a lump of gritty yellow soap in one corner of thekitchen window sill and a piece of flannel stained with a blue bag inanother. The fireplace was choked up withrubbish. She poked among itbut found nothing except a hair-tidy with a heart painted on it thathad belonged to the servant girl. Even that she left lying, andshetrailed through the narrow passage into the drawing-room. The Venetianblind was pulled down but not drawn close. Long pencil rays ofsunlight shone throughand the wavy shadow of a bush outside danced onthe gold lines. Now it was still, now it began to flutter again, andnow it came almost as far as her feet. Zoom!Zoom! a blue-bottleknocked against the ceiling; the carpet-tacks had little bits of redfluff sticking to them.The dining-room window had a square of coloured glassat each corner.One was blue and one was yellow. Kezia bent down to have one more lookat a blue lawn with blue arum lilies growing at the gate, and then atayellow lawn with yellow lilies and a yellow fence. As she looked alittle Chinese Lottie came out on to the lawn and began to dust thetables and chairs with a cornerof her pinafore. Was that reallyLottie? Kezia was not quite sure until she had looked through theordinary window.Upstairs in her father's and mother's room shefound a pill box blackand shiny outside and red in, holding a blob of cotton wool.\"I could keep a bird's egg in that,\" she decided.In the servant girl's room therewas a stay-button stuck in a crack ofthe floor, and in another crack some beads and a long needle. She knewthere was nothing in her grandmother's room; shehad watched her pack.She went over to the window and leaned against it, pressing her handsagainst the pane.Kezia liked to stand so before the window. Sheliked the feeling ofthe cold shining glass against her hot palms, and she liked to watchthe funny white tops that came on her fingers when she pressed themhardagainst the pane. As she stood there, the day flickered out anddark came. With the dark crept the wind snuffling and howling. Thewindows of the empty houseshook, a creaking came from the walls andfloors, a piece of loose iron on the roof banged forlornly. Kezia wassuddenly quite, quite still, with wide open eyes andknees pressedtogether. She was frightened. She wanted to call Lottie and to go oncalling all the while she ran downstairs and out of the house. But ITwas justbehind her, waiting at the door, at the head of the stairs,at the bottom of the stairs, hiding in the passage, ready to dart outat the back door. But Lottie was atthe back door, too.\"Kezia!\" she called cheerfully. \"The storeman's here. Everything is onthe dray and three horses, Kezia. Mrs. Samuel Josephs has given us abigshawl to wear round us, and she says to button up your coat. Shewon't come out because of asthma.\"Lottie was very important.\"Now then, you kids,\" called thestoreman. He hooked his big thumbsunder their arms and up they swung. Lottie arranged the shawl \"mostbeautifully\" and the storeman tucked up their feet in apiece of oldblanket.\"Lift up. Easy does it.\"They might have been a couple of young ponies. The storeman felt overthe cords holding his load, unhooked thebrakechain from the wheel,and whistling, he swung up beside them.\"Keep close to me,\" said Lottie, \"because otherwise you pull the shawlaway from my side,Kezia.\"But Kezia edged up to the storeman. He towered beside her big as agiant and he smelled of nuts and new wooden boxes.3It was the first time that Lottieand Kezia had ever been out so late.Everything looked different--the painted wooden houses far smallerthan they did by day, the gardens far bigger and wilder.Bright starsspeckled the sky and the moon hung over the harbour dabbling the waveswith gold. They could see the lighthouse shining on Quarantine Island,andthe green lights on the old coal hulks.\"There comes the Picton boat,\" said the storeman, pointing to a littlesteamer all hung with bright beads.But when theyreached the top of the hill and began to go down theother side the harbour disappeared, and although they were still inthe town they were quite lost. Other cartsrattled past. Everybodyknew the storeman.\"Night, Fred.\"\"Night O,\" he shouted.Kezia liked very much to hear him. Whenever a cart appeared in thedistance she"}

DE BALZAC.FATHER GORIOTMme. Vauquer (_nee_ de Conflans) is an elderly person, who for the pastforty years haskept a lodging-house in the Rue Nueve-Sainte-Genevieve,in the district that lies between the Latin Quarter and the FaubourgSaint-Marcel. Her house (known inthe neighborhood as the _MaisonVauquer_) receives men and women, old and young, and no word has everbeen breathed against her respectable establishment;but, at the sametime, it must be said that as a matter of fact no young woman has beenunder her roof for thirty years, and that if a young man stays thereforany length of time it is a sure sign that his allowance must be of theslenderest. In 1819, however, the time when this drama opens, there wasan almostpenniless young girl among Mme. Vauquer's boarders.That word drama has been somewhat discredited of late; it has beenoverworked and twisted to strangeuses in these days of dolorousliterature; but it must do service again here, not because this story isdramatic in the restricted sense of the word, but becausesome tears mayperhaps be shed _intra et extra muros_ before it is over.Will any one without the walls of Paris understand it? It is open todoubt. The onlyaudience who could appreciate the results of closeobservation, the careful reproduction of minute detail and local color,are dwellers between the heights ofMontrouge and Montmartre, in a valeof crumbling stucco watered by streams of black mud, a vale of sorrowswhich are real and joys too often hollow; but thisaudience is soaccustomed to terrible sensations, that only some unimaginable andwell-neigh impossible woe could produce any lasting impression there.Now andagain there are tragedies so awful and so grand by reason of thecomplication of virtues and vices that bring them about, that egotismand selfishness are forced topause and are moved to pity; but theimpression that they receive is like a luscious fruit, soon consumed.Civilization, like the car of Juggernaut, is scarcely stayedperceptiblyin its progress by a heart less easy to break than the others that liein its course; this also is broken, and Civilization continues on hercoursetriumphant. And you, too, will do the like; you who with thisbook in your white hand will sink back among the cushions of yourarmchair, and say to yourself,\"Perhaps this may amuse me.\" You willread the story of Father Goriot's secret woes, and, dining thereafterwith an unspoiled appetite, will lay the blame of yourinsensibilityupon the writer, and accuse him of exaggeration, of writing romances.Ah! once for all, this drama is neither a fiction nor a romance! _All istrue_,--sotrue, that every one can discern the elements of the tragedyin his own house, perhaps in his own heart.The lodging-house is Mme. Vauquer's own property. It isstill standingin the lower end of the Rue Nueve-Sainte-Genevieve, just where the roadslopes so sharply down to the Rue de l'Arbalete, that wheeled trafficseldompasses that way, because it is so stony and steep. This positionis sufficient to account for the silence prevalent in the streets shutin between the dome of thePantheon and the dome of the Val-de-Grace,two conspicuous public buildings which give a yellowish tone to thelandscape and darken the whole district that liesbeneath the shadow oftheir leaden-hued cupolas.In that district the pavements are clean and dry, there is neither mudnor water in the gutters, grass grows in thechinks of the walls. Themost heedless passer-by feels the depressing influences of a place wherethe sound of wheels creates a sensation; there is a grim lookabout thehouses, a suggestion of a jail about those high garden walls. A Parisianstraying into a suburb apparently composed of lodging-houses andpublicinstitutions would see poverty and dullness, old age lying down to die,and joyous youth condemned to drudgery. It is the ugliest quarter ofParis, and, it maybe added, the least known. But, before all things,the Rue Nueve-Sainte-Genevieve is like a bronze frame for a picture forwhich the mind cannot be too wellprepared by the contemplation of sadhues and sober images. Even so, step by step the daylight decreases,and the cicerone's droning voice grows hollower as thetraveler descendsinto the Catacombs. The comparison holds good! Who shall say which ismore ghastly, the sight of the bleached skulls or of dried-uphumanhearts?The front of the lodging-house is at right angles to the road, andlooks out upon a little garden, so that you see the side of the housein section, as itwere, from the Rue Nueve-Sainte-Genevieve. Beneath thewall of the house front there lies a channel, a fathom wide, paved withcobble-stones, and beside it runsa graveled walk bordered by geraniumsand oleanders and pomegranates set in great blue and white glazedearthenware pots. Access into the graveled walk isafforded by a door,above which the words MAISON VAUQUER may be read, and beneath, in rathersmaller letters, \"_Lodgings for both sexes, etc._\"During the daya glimpse into the garden is easily obtained through awicket to which a bell is attached. On the opposite wall, at the furtherend of the graveled walk, a greenmarble arch was painted once upona time by a local artist, and in this semblance of a shrine a statuerepresenting Cupid is installed; a Parisian Cupid, so blisteredanddisfigured that he looks like a candidate for one of the adjacenthospitals, and might suggest an allegory to lovers of symbolism. Thehalf-obliterated inscriptionon the pedestal beneath determines the dateof this work of art, for it bears witness to the widespread enthusiasmfelt for Voltaire on his return to Paris in1777:              \"Whoe'er thou art, thy master see;               He is, or was, or ought to be.\"At night the wicket gate is replaced by a solid door. The little gardenisno wider than the front of the house; it is shut in between the wallof the street and the partition wall of the neighboring house. A mantleof ivy conceals the bricksand attracts the eyes of passers-by to aneffect which is picturesque in Paris, for each of the walls is coveredwith trellised vines that yield a scanty dusty crop offruit, andfurnish besides a subject of conversation for Mme. Vauquer and herlodgers; every year the widow trembles for her vintage.A straight path beneath thewalls on either side of the garden leads toa clump of lime-trees at the further end of it; _line_-trees, as Mme.Vauquer persists in calling them, in spite of the factthat she was a deConflans, and regardless of repeated corrections from her lodgers.The central space between the walls is filled with artichokes androws ofpyramid fruit-trees, and surrounded by a border of lettuce,pot-herbs, and parsley. Under the lime-trees there are a fewgreen-painted garden seats and a woodentable, and hither, during thedog-days, such of the lodgers as are rich enough to indulge in a cupof coffee come to take their pleasure, though it is hot enough toroasteggs even in the shade.The house itself is three stories high, without counting the atticsunder the roof. It is built of rough stone, and covered withtheyellowish stucco that gives a mean appearance to almost every house inParis. There are five windows in each story in the front of the house;all the blindsvisible through the small square panes are drawn up awry,so that the lines are all at cross purposes. At the side of the housethere are but two windows on eachfloor, and the lowest of all areadorned with a heavy iron grating.Behind the house a yard extends for some twenty feet, a space inhabitedby a happy family ofpigs, poultry, and rabbits; the wood-shed issituated on the further side, and on the wall between the wood-shed andthe kitchen window hangs the meat-safe, justabove the place where thesink discharges its greasy streams. The cook sweeps all the refuseout through a little door into the Rue Nueve-Sainte-Genevieve,andfrequently cleanses the yard with copious supplies of water, under painof pestilence.The house might have been built on purpose for its present uses. Accessisgiven by a French window to the first room on the ground floor, asitting-room which looks out upon the street through the two barredwindows already mentioned.Another door opens out of it into thedining-room, which is separated from the kitchen by the well of thestaircase, the steps being constructed partly of wood,partly of tiles,which are colored and beeswaxed. Nothing can be more depressing thanthe sight of that sitting-room. The furniture is covered with horse hairwovenin alternate dull and glossy stripes. There is a round table inthe middle, with a purplish-red marble top, on which there stands, byway of ornament, the inevitablewhite china tea-service, covered witha half-effaced gilt network. The floor is sufficiently uneven, thewainscot rises to elbow height, and the rest of the wall spaceisdecorated with a varnished paper, on which the principal scenes from_Telemaque_ are depicted, the various classical personages beingcolored. The subjectbetween the two windows is the banquet given byCalypso to the son of Ulysses, displayed thereon for the admiration ofthe boarders, and has furnished jokesthese forty years to the youngmen who show themselves superior to their position by making fun of thedinners to which poverty condemns them. The hearth isalways so cleanand neat that it is evident that a fire is only kindled there on greatoccasions; the stone chimney-piece is adorned by a couple of vasesfilled withfaded artificial flowers imprisoned under glass shades, oneither side of a bluish marble clock in the very worst taste.The first room exhales an odor for which thereis no name in thelanguage, and which should be called the _odeur de pension_. The dampatmosphere sends a chill through you as you breathe it; it has astuffy,musty, and rancid quality; it permeates your clothing; after-dinnerscents seem to be mingled in it with smells from the kitchen andscullery and the reek ofa hospital. It might be possible to describeit if some one should discover a process by which to distil from theatmosphere all the nauseating elements with which itis charged by thecatarrhal exhalations of every individual lodger, young or old. Yet,in spite of these stale horrors, the sitting-room is as charming andas delicatelyperfumed as a boudoir, when compared with the adjoiningdining-room.The paneled walls of that apartment were once painted some color, nowa matter ofconjecture, for the surface is incrusted with accumulatedlayers of grimy deposit, which cover it with fantastic outlines. Acollection of dim-ribbed glass decanters,metal discs with a satin sheenon them, and piles of blue-edged earthenware plates of Touraine warecover the sticky surfaces of the sideboards that line the room."}

The peaks rise a challenging half mileand more out        of the valley -- wind-whipped snow mists over the mountains        like a low fog. The tranquility is broken as a helicopter        BLASTS intoview, fighting the wind as it heads for the center        of it all.        Our CREDITS fly us past and through this magnificent range.        There are sky-piercingpeaks that slope up to a narrow, high        pinnacle -- and others that are steel, straight-up approaches        to large plateaus. One of the mountains has a crystallake on        top -- with a waterfall that drains from it and exits from the        middle of a mountain wall. Nearby, an abandoned cable ladder        is bolted intothe same wall, leading to the top.

In aman now over seventy, this breach of a long-established habit seemedominous. The new NationalTheatre in Christiania was opened in Septemberof the following year; and when I then met Ibsen (for the last time) hetold me that he was actually at work on anew play, which he thought ofcalling a \"Dramatic Epilogue.\" \"He wrote _When We Dead Awaken_,\"says Dr. Elias, \"with such labour and such passionate agitation,sospasmodically and so feverishly, that those around him were almostalarmed. He must get on with it, he must get on! He seemed to hearthe beating of darkpinions over his head. He seemed to feel the grimVisitant, who had accompanied Alfred Allmers on the mountain paths,already standing behind him with upliftedhand. His relatives are firmlyconvinced that he knew quite clearly that this would be his last play,that he was to write no more. And soon the blow fell.\"_When WeDead Awaken_ was published very shortly before Christmas 1899.He had still a year of comparative health before him. We find him inMarch 1900, writing toCount Prozor: \"I cannot say yet whether or notI shall write another drama; but if I continue to retain the vigour ofbody and mind which I at present enjoy, I donot imagine that I shall beable to keep permanently away from the old battlefields. However, if Iwere to make my appearance again, it would be with newweapons andin new armour.\" Was he hinting at the desire, which he had long agoconfessed to Professor Herford, that his last work should be a drama inverse?Whatever his dream, it was not to be realised. His last letter(defending his attitude of philosophic impartiality with regard to theSouth African war) is datedDecember 9, 1900. With the dawn of the newcentury, the curtain descended upon the mind of the great dramatic poetof the age which had passed away._WhenWe Dead Awaken_ was acted during 1900 at most of the leadingtheatres in Scandinavia and Germany. In some German cities (notablyin Frankfort on Main) iteven attained a considerable number ofrepresentatives. I cannot learn, however, that it has anywhere held thestage. It was produced in London, by the StateSociety, at the ImperialTheatre, on January 25 and 26, 1903. Mr. G. S. Titheradge played Rubek,Miss Henrietta Watson Irene, Miss Mabel Hackney Maia, and Mr.LaurenceIrving Ulfheim. I find no record of any American performance.In the above-mentioned letter to Count Prozor, Ibsen confirmed thatcritic's conjecture that\"the series which ends with the Epilogue reallybegan with _The Master Builder_.\" As the last confession, so to speak,of a great artist, the Epilogue will always beread with interest. Itcontains, moreover, many flashes of the old genius, many strokes of theold incommunicable magic. One may say with perfect sincerity thatthereis more fascination in the dregs of Ibsen's mind than in the \"firstsprightly running\" of more common-place talents. But to his saneadmirers the interest of theplay must always be melancholy, because itis purely pathological. To deny this is, in my opinion, to cast a slurover all the poet's previous work, and in greatmeasure to justify thecriticisms of his most violent detractors. For _When We Dead Awaken_ isvery like the sort of play that haunted the \"anti-Ibsenite\"imaginationin the year 1893 or thereabouts. It is a piece of self-caricature, aseries of echoes from all the earlier plays, an exaggeration of mannerto the pitch ofmannerism. Moreover, in his treatment of his symbolicmotives, Ibsen did exactly what he had hitherto, with perfect justice,plumed himself upon never doing: hesacrificed the surface realityto the underlying meaning. Take, for instance, the history of Rubek'sstatue and its development into a group. In actual sculpturethisdevelopment is a grotesque impossibility. In conceiving it we aredeserting the domain of reality, and plunging into some fourth dimensionwhere the propertiesof matter are other than those we know. This is anabandonment of the fundamental principle which Ibsen over and over againemphatically expressed--namely,that any symbolism his work might befound to contain was entirely incidental, and subordinate to the truthand consistency of his picture of life. Even when hedallied with thesupernatural, as in _The Master Builder_ and _Little Eyolf_, he wasalways careful, as I have tried to show, not to overstep decisivelytheboundaries of the natural. Here, on the other hand, without anysuggestion of the supernatural, we are confronted with the whollyimpossible, the inconceivable.How remote is this alike from hisprinciples of art and from the consistent, unvarying practice of hisbetter years! So great is the chasm between _John GabrielBorkman_ and_When We Dead Awaken_ that one could almost suppose his mental breakdownto have preceded instead of followed the writing of the latterplay.Certainly it is one of the premonitions of the coming end. It is Ibsen's_Count Robert of Paris_. To pretend to rank it with his masterpieces isto show a veryimperfect sense of the nature of their mastery.WHEN WE DEAD AWAKEN.A DRAMATIC EPILOGUE.CHARACTERS.      PROFESSOR ARNOLD RUBEK, asculptor.      MRS. MAIA RUBEK, his wife.      THE INSPECTOR at the Baths.      ULFHEIM, a landed proprietor.      A STRANGER LADY.      A SISTER OFMERCY.      Servants, Visitors to the Baths, and Children.The First Act passes at a bathing establishment on the coast; the Secondand Third Acts in theneighbourhood of a health resort, high in themountains.ACT FIRST.   [Outside the Bath Hotel. A portion of the main building can be seen   to the right.   An open,park-like place with a fountain, groups   of fine old trees, and shrubbery.  To the left, a little pavilion   almost covered with ivy and Virginia creeper.  A table andchair   outside it.  At the back a view over the fjord, right out to sea,   with headlands and small islands in the distance.  It is a calm,   warm and sunny summermorning.   [PROFESSOR RUBEK and MRS. MAIA RUBEK are sitting in basket chairs   beside a covered table on the lawn outside the hotel, havingjust   breakfasted.  They have champagne and seltzer water on the table,   and each has a newspaper.  PROFESSOR RUBEK is an elderly man of   distinguishedappearance, wearing a black velvet jacket, and   otherwise in light summer attire.  MAIA is quite young, with   a vivacious expression and lively, mocking eyes,yet with a   suggestion of fatigue.  She wears an elegant travelling dress.MAIA.[Sits for some time as though waiting for the PROFESSOR to saysomething, thenlets her paper drop with a deep sigh.] Oh dear, dear,dear--!PROFESSOR RUBEK.[Looks up from his paper.] Well, Maia? What is the matter with you?MAIA.Justlisten how silent it is here.PROFESSOR RUBEK.[Smiles indulgently.] And you can hear that?MAIA.What?PROFESSOR RUBEK.The silence?MAIA.Yes, indeed Ican.PROFESSOR RUBEK.Well, perhaps you are right, _mein Kind_. One can really hear thesilence.MAIA.Heaven knows you can--when it's so absolutelyoverpowering as it ishere--PROFESSOR RUBEK.Here at the Baths, you mean?MAIA.Wherever you go at home here, it seems to me. Of course there was noiseandbustle enough in the town. But I don't know how it is--even thenoise and bustle seemed to have something dead about it.PROFESSOR RUBEK.[With a searchingglance.] You don't seem particularly glad to be athome again, Maia?MAIA.[Looks at him.] Are you glad?PROFESSOR RUBEK.[Evasively.] I--?MAIA.Yes, you, whohave been so much, much further away than I. Are youentirely happy, now that you are at home again?PROFESSOR RUBEK.No--to be quite candid--perhaps notentirely happy--MAIA.[With animation.] There, you see! Didn't I know it!PROFESSOR RUBEK.I have been too long abroad. I have drifted quite away fromallthis--this home life.MAIA.[Eagerly, drawing her chair nearer him.] There, you see, Rubek! We hadmuch better get away again! As quickly as ever wecan.PROFESSOR RUBEK.[Somewhat impatiently.] Well, well, that is what we intend to do, mydear Maia. You know that.MAIA.But why not now--at once? Onlythink how cozy and comfortable we couldbe down there, in our lovely new house--PROFESSOR RUBEK.[Smiles indulgently.] We ought by rights to say: our lovelynew home.MAIA.[Shortly.] I prefer to say house--let us keep to that.PROFESSOR RUBEK.[His eyes dwelling on her.] You are really a strange littleperson.MAIA.Am I so strange?PROFESSOR RUBEK.Yes, I think so.MAIA.But why, pray? Perhaps because I'm not desperately in love with mooningabout uphere--?PROFESSOR RUBEK.Which of us was it that was absolutely bent on our coming north thissummer?MAIA.I admit, it was I.PROFESSOR RUBEK.It wascertainly not I, at any rate.MAIA.But good heavens, who could have dreamt that everything would havealtered so terribly at home here? And in so short a time,too! Why, itis only just four years since I went away--PROFESSOR RUBEK.Since you were married, yes.MAIA.Married? What has that to do with thematter?PROFESSOR RUBEK.[Continuing.] --since you became the Frau Professor, and found yourselfmistress of a charming home--I beg your pardon--a veryhandsome house, Iought to say. And a villa on the Lake of Taunitz, just at the point thathas become most fashionable, too--. In fact it is all very handsomeanddistinguished, Maia, there's no denying that. And spacious too. We neednot always be getting in each other's way--MAIA.[Lightly.] No, no, no--there'scertainly no lack of house-room, and thatsort of thing--PROFESSOR RUBEK.Remember, too, that you have been living in altogether more spaciousanddistinguished surroundings--in more polished society than you wereaccustomed to at home.MAIA.[Looking at him.] Ah, so you think it is _I_ that havechanged?PROFESSOR RUBEK.Indeed I do, Maia.MAIA.I alone? Not the people here?PROFESSOR RUBEK.Oh yes, they too--a little, perhaps. And not at all in thedirection ofamiability. That I readily admit.MAIA.I should think you must admit it, indeed.PROFESSOR RUBEK.[Changing the subject.] Do you know how it affectsme when I look at thelife of the people around us here?MAIA.No. Tell me.PROFESSOR RUBEK.It makes me think of that night we spent in the train, when we"}

These Hooligan Diplomats would as soon shoot youas look at you,\" Mannteufel warned.\"Be sure and tell the Secretary that your friends all wantimportantposts in the Galactic Empire.\" Olga again.\"Well, I'm glad some of you could read it,\" I fired back. \"Maybe even afew of you understood what it was allabout.\"\"Don't worry, Silk,\" Gazarin told me. \"Secretary Ghopal understands whatit was all about. All too well, you'll find.\"A buzzer sounded gently on EthelK'wang-Li's desk. She snatched up thehandphone and whispered into it. A deathly silence filled the room whileshe listened, whispered some more, then hung itup.They were all staring at me.\"Secretary Ghopal is ready to see Mr. Stephen Silk,\" she said. \"Thisway, please.\"As I started across the room, Staynes begandrumming on the top of thedesk with his fingers, the slow reiterated rhythm to which a man marchesto a military execution.\"A cigarette?\" Lawder inquiredtonelessly. \"A glass of rum?\"There were three men in the Secretary of State's private office. GhopalSingh, the Secretary, dark-faced, gray-haired, slender andelegant,meeting me halfway to his desk. Another slender man, in black, with asilver-threaded, black neck-scarf: Rudolf Klüng, the Secretary of theDepartmentof Aggression.And a huge, gross-bodied man with a fat baby-face and opaque black eyes.When I saw him, I really began to get frightened.The fat man wasNatalenko, the Security Coördinator.\"Good morning, Mister Silk,\" Secretary Ghopal greeted me, his handextended. \"Gentlemen, Mr. Stephen Silk, about whomwe were speaking.This way, Mr. Silk, if you please.\"There was a low coffee-table at the rear of the office, and four easychairs around it. On the round brasstable-top were cups and saucers, acoffee urn, cigarettes--and a copy of the current issue of the _GalacticStatesmen's Journal_, open at an article entitled_Probable FutureCourses of Solar League Diplomacy_, by somebody who had signed himselfMachiavelli, Jr.I was beginning to wish that the pseudonymousMachiavelli, Jr. had neverbeen born, or, at least, had stayed on Theta Virgo IV and been awineberry planter as his father had wanted him to be.As I sat down andaccepted a cup of coffee, I avoided looking at theperiodical. They were probably going to hang it around my neck beforethey shoved me out of the airlock.\"Mr.Silk is, as you know, in our Consular Service,\" Ghopal was sayingto the others. \"Back on Luna on rotation, doing something in Mr.Halvord's section. He is thegentleman who did such a splendid job forus on Assha--Gamma Norma III.\"And, as he has just demonstrated,\" he added, gesturing toward the_Statesman'sJournal_ on the Benares-work table, \"he is a student bothof the diplomacy of the past and the implications of our presentpolicies.\"\"A bit frank,\" Klüngcommented dubiously.\"But judicious,\" Natalenko squeaked, in the high eunuchoid voice thatcame so incongruously from his bulk. \"He aired his singularlyaccuratepredictions in a periodical that doesn't have a circulation of more thana thousand copies outside his own department. And I don't think thepublic'ssemantic reactions to the terminology of imperialism is as badas you imagine. They seem quite satisfied, now, with the change in thetitle of your department,from Defense to Aggression.\"\"Well, we've gone into that, gentlemen,\" Ghopal said. \"If the articlereally makes trouble for us, we can always disavow it. There'snocensorship of the _Journal_. And Mr. Silk won't be around to draw fireon us.\"_Here it comes_, I thought.\"That sounds pretty ominous, doesn't it, Mr. Silk?\"Natalenko titteredhappily, like a ten-year-old who has just found a new beetle to pull thelegs out of.\"It's really not as bad as it sounds, Mr. Silk,\" Ghopal hastenedtoreassure me. \"We are going to have to banish you for a while, but Idaresay that won't be so bad. The social life here on Luna has probablybegun to pall,anyhow. So we're sending you to Capella IV.\"\"Capella IV,\" I repeated, trying to remember something about it. Capellawas a GO-type, like Sol; that wouldn't be sobad.\"New Texas,\" Klüng helped me out._Oh, God, no!_ I thought.\"It happens that we need somebody of your sort on that planet, Mr.Silk,\" Ghopal said. \"Someof the trouble is in my department and some ofit is in Mr. Klüng's; for that reason, perhaps it would be better ifCoördinator Natalenko explained it to you.\"\"Youknow, I assume, our chief interest in New Texas?\" Natalenko asked.\"I had some of it for breakfast, sir,\" I replied. \"Supercow.\"Natalenko tittered again. \"Yes, NewTexas is the butcher shop of thegalaxy. In more ways than one, I'm afraid you'll find. They justbutchered one of our people there a short while ago. OurAmbassador, infact.\"That would be Silas Cumshaw, and this was the first I'd heard about it.I asked when it had happened.\"A couple of months ago. We just heardabout it last evening, when thenews came in on a freighter from there. Which serves to point upsomething you stressed in your article--the difficulties of tryingtorun a centralized democratic government on a galactic scale. But we haveanother interest, which may be even more urgent than our need for NewTexan meat.You've heard, of course, of the z'Srauff.\"That was a statement, not a question; Natalenko wasn't trying to insultme. I knew who the z'Srauff were; I'd run intothem, here and there. Oneof the extra-solar intelligent humanoid races, who seemed to have beenevolved from canine or canine-like ancestors, instead ofprimates. Mostof them could speak Basic English, but I never saw one who would admitto understanding more of our language than the 850-wordBasicvocabulary. They occupied a half-dozen planets in a small star-clusterabout forty light-years beyond the Capella system. They had developednormal-spacereaction-drive ships before we came into contact withthem, and they had quickly picked up the hyperspace-drive from us backin those days when the SolarLeague was still playing Missionaries ofProgress and trying to run a galaxy-wide Point-Four program.In the past century, it had become almost impossible foranybody to getinto their star-group, although z'Srauff ships were orbiting in on everyplanet that the League had settled or controlled. There were z'Sraufftradersand small merchants all over the galaxy, and you almost neversaw one of them without a camera. Their little meteor-mining boats wereeverywhere, and all ofthem carried more of the most modern radar andastrogational equipment than a meteor-miner's lifetime earnings wouldpay for.I also knew that they were one ofthe chief causes of ulcers andpremature gray hair at the League capital on Luna. I'd done a littlereading on pre-spaceflight Terran history; I had been impressedby theparallel between the present situation and one which had culminated, twoand a half centuries before, on the morning of 7 December, 1941.\"What,\"Natalenko inquired, \"do you think Machiavelli, Junior would doabout the z'Srauff?\"\"We have a Department of Aggression,\" I replied. \"Its mottoes are, 'Stoptroublebefore it starts,' and, 'If we have to fight, let's do it on theother fellow's real estate.' But this situation is just a little toodelicate for literal application of thoseprinciples. An unprovokedattack on the z'Srauff would set every other non-human race in thegalaxy against us.... Would an attack by the z'Srauff on NewTexasconstitute just provocation?\"\"It might. New Texas is an independent planet. Its people aredescendants of emigrants from Terra who wanted to get awayfrom the ruleof the Solar League. We've been trying for half a century to persuadethe New Texan government to join the League. We need their planet, forbothstrategic and commercial reasons. With the z'Srauff for neighbors,they need us as much at least as we need them. The problem is to makethem understandthat.\"I nodded again. \"And an attack by the z'Srauff would do that, too, sir,\"I said.Natalenko tittered again. \"You see, gentlemen! Our Mr. Silk picks thingsup veryhandily, doesn't he?\" He turned to Secretary of State Ghopal.\"You take it from there,\" he invited.Ghopal Singh smiled benignly. \"Well, that's it, Stephen,\" he said.\"Weneed a man on New Texas who can get things done. Three things, to beexact.\"First, find out why poor Mr. Cumshaw was murdered, and what can bedoneabout it to maintain our prestige without alienating the New Texans.\"Second, bring the government and people of New Texas to a realizationthat they needthe Solar League as much as we need them.\"And, third, forestall or expose the plans for the z'Srauff invasion ofNew Texas.\"_Is that all, now?_ I thought. _Hedoesn't want a diplomat; he wants amagician._\"And what,\" I asked, \"will my official position be on New Texas, sir? Orwill I have one, of any sort?\"\"Oh, yes,indeed, Mr. Silk. Your official position will be that ofAmbassador Plenipotentiary and Envoy Extraordinary.

The hummocky iceand pressure-ridges that Bennett had foreseen had at last been met with,and, though camp had been broken at sixo'clock and though men and dogshad hauled and tugged and wrestled with the heavy sledges until fiveo'clock in the afternoon, only a mile and a half had beencovered. Butthough the progress was slow, it was yet progress. It was not theharrowing, heart-breaking immobility of those long months aboard theFreja. Everyyard to the southward, though won at the expense of abattle with the ice, brought them nearer to Wrangel Island and ultimatesafety.Then, too, at supper-timethe unexpected had happened. Bennett, moved nodoubt by their weakened condition, had dealt out extra rations to eachman: one and two-thirds ounces ofbutter and six and two-thirds ouncesof aleuronate bread--a veritable luxury after the unvarying diet ofpemmican, lime juice, and dried potatoes of the pastfortnight. The menhad got into their sleeping-bags early, and until four o'clock in themorning had slept profoundly, inert, stupefied, almost without movement.Buta few minutes after four o'clock Bennett awoke. He was usually upabout half an hour before the others. On the day before he had been ableto get a meridianaltitude of the sun, and was anxious to complete hiscalculations as to the expedition's position on the chart that he hadbegun in the evening.He pushed back theflap of the sleeping-bag and rose to his full height,passing his hands over his face, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. He wasan enormous man, standing six feettwo inches in his reindeer footnipsand having the look more of a prize-fighter than of a scientist. Evenmaking allowances for its coating of dirt and its harsh, blackstubbleof half a week's growth, the face was not pleasant. Bennett was an uglyman. His lower jaw was huge almost to deformity, like that of thebulldog, the chinsalient, the mouth close-gripped, with great lips,indomitable, brutal. The forehead was contracted and small, the foreheadof men of single ideas, and the eyes,too, were small and twinkling, oneof them marred by a sharply defined cast.But as Bennett was fumbling in the tin box that was lashed upon thenumber foursledge, looking for his notebook wherein he had begun hiscalculations for latitude, he was surprised to find a copy of the recordhe had left in the instrument boxunder the cairn at Cape Kammeni at thebeginning of this southerly march. He had supposed that this copy hadbeen mislaid, and was not a little relieved to comeacross it now. Heread it through hastily, his mind reviewing again the incidents of thelast few months. Certain extracts of this record ran as follows:\"Arcticsteamer Freja, on ice off Cape Kammeni, New SiberianIslands, 76 deg. 10 min. north latitude, 150 deg. 40 min. eastlongitude, July 12, 1891.... We accordinglyfroze the ship in onthe last day of September, 1890, and during the following winterdrifted with the pack in a northwesterly direction.... On Friday,July 10, 1891,being in latitude 76 deg. 10 min. north; longitude150 deg. 10 min. east, the Freja was caught in a severe nip betweentwo floes and was crushed, sinking in abouttwo hours. We abandonedher, saving 200 days' provisions and all necessary clothing,instruments, etc....\"I shall now attempt a southerly march over the ice toKolyuchin Bayby way of Wrangel Island, where provisions have been cached, hopingto fall in with the relief ships or steam whalers on the way. Ourparty consistsof the following twelve persons: ... All well withthe exception of Mr. Ferriss, the chief engineer, whose left handhas been badly frostbitten. No scurvy in the partyas yet. We haveeighteen Ostiak dogs with us in prime condition, and expect to dragour ship's boat upon sledges.\"WARD BENNETT, Commanding Freja ArcticExploring Expedition.\"Bennett returned this copy of the record to its place in the box, andstood for a moment in the centre of the tent, his head bent to avoidtheridge-pole, looking thoughtfully upon the ground.Well, so far all had gone right--no scurvy, provisions in plenty. Thedogs were in good condition, his mencheerful, trusting in him as in agod, and surely no leader could wish for a better lieutenant and comradethan Richard Ferriss--but this hummocky ice--thesepressure-ridges whichthe expedition had met the day before. Instead of turning at once to hisciphering Bennett drew the hood of the wolfskin coat over hishead,buttoned a red flannel mask across his face, and, raising the flap ofthe tent, stepped outside.Under the lee of the tent the dogs were sleeping, movelessbundles offur, black and white, perceptibly steaming. The three great McClintocksledges, weighted down with the Freja's boats and with theexpedition'simpedimenta, lay where they had been halted the evening before.In the sky directly in front of Bennett as he issued from the tent threemoons,hooped in a vast circle of nebulous light, shone roseate througha fine mist, while in the western heavens streamers of green, orange,and vermilion light,immeasurably vast, were shooting noiselessly fromhorizon to zenith.But Bennett had more on his mind that morning than mock-moons andauroras. To the southand east, about a quarter of a mile from the tent,the pressure of the floes had thrown up an enormous ridge of shatteredice-cakes, a mound, a long hill ofblue-green slabs and blocks huddlingtogether at every conceivable angle. It was nearly twenty feet inheight, quite the highest point that Bennett could discover.Scramblingand climbing over countless other ridges that intervened, he made hisway to it, ascended it almost on hands and knees, and, standing upon itshighestpoint, looked long and carefully to the southward.A wilderness beyond all thought, words, or imagination desolatestretched out before him there forever andforever--ice, ice, ice,fields and floes of ice, laying themselves out under that gloomy sky,league after league, endless, sombre, infinitely vast, infinitelyformidable.But now it was no longer the smooth ice over which theexpedition had for so long been travelling. In every direction,intersecting one another at ten thousandpoints, crossing andrecrossing, weaving a gigantic, bewildering network of gashed, jagged,splintered ice-blocks, ran the pressure-ridges and hummocks. Inplaces ascore or more of these ridges had been wedged together to form one hugefield of broken slabs of ice miles in width, miles in length. Fromhorizon tohorizon there was no level place, no open water, no pathway.The view to the southward resembled a tempest-tossed ocean suddenlyfrozen.One of these ridgesBennett had just climbed, and upon it he now stood.Even for him, unencumbered, carrying no weight, the climb had beendifficult; more than once he had slippedand fallen. At times he hadbeen obliged to go forward almost on his hands and knees. And yet it wasacross that jungle of ice, that unspeakable tangle ofblue-green slabsand cakes and blocks, that the expedition must now advance, dragging itsboats, its sledges, its provisions, instruments, and baggage.Bennettstood looking. Before him lay his task. There under his eyes wasthe Enemy. Face to face with him was the titanic primal strength of achaotic world, thestupendous still force of a merciless nature, waitingcalmly, waiting silently to close upon and crush him. For a long time hestood watching. Then the great brutaljaw grew more salient than ever,the teeth set and clenched behind the close-gripped lips, the cast inthe small twinkling eyes grew suddenly more pronounced.One huge fistraised, and the arm slowly extended forward like the resistless movingof a piston. Then when his arm was at its full reach Bennett spoke asthough inanswer to the voiceless, terrible challenge of the Ice.Through his clenched teeth his words came slow and measured.\"But I'll break you, by God! believe me, Iwill.\"After a while he returned to the tent, awoke the cook, and whilebreakfast was being prepared completed his calculations for latitude,wrote up his ice-journal,and noted down the temperature and thedirection and velocity of the wind. As he was finishing, RichardFerriss, who was the chief engineer and second incommand, awoke andimmediately asked the latitude.\"Seventy-four-fifteen,\" answered Bennett without looking up.\"Seventy-four-fifteen,\" repeated Ferriss,nodding his head; \"we didn'tmake much distance yesterday.\"\"I hope we can make as much to-day,\" returned Bennett grimly as he putaway hisobservation-journal and note-books.\"How's the ice to the south'ard?\"\"Bad; wake the men.\"After breakfast and while the McClintocks were being loaded BennettsentFerriss on ahead to choose a road through and over the ridges. It wasdreadful work. For two hours Ferriss wandered about amid the broken iceall buthopelessly bewildered. But at length, to his great satisfaction,he beheld a fairly open stretch about a quarter of a mile in lengthlying out to the southwest and nottoo far out of the expedition's lineof march. Some dozen ridges would have to be crossed before this levelwas reached; but there was no help for it, so Ferrissplanted his flagswhere the heaps of ice-blocks seemed least impracticable and returnedtoward the camp. It had already been broken, and on his way he mettheentire expedition involved in the intricacies of the first rough ice.All of the eighteen dogs had been harnessed to the number two sledge,that carried thewhaleboat and the major part of the provisions, andevery man of the party, Bennett included, was straining at thehaul-ropes with the dogs. Foot by foot thesledge came over the ridge,grinding and lurching among the ice-blocks; then, partly by guiding,partly by lifting, it was piloted down the slope, only in the endtoescape from all control and come crashing downward among the dogs,jolting one of the medicine chests from its lashings and butting itsnose heavily againstthe foot of the next hummock immediately beyond.But the men scrambled to their places again, the medicine chest wasreplaced, and Muck Tu, the Esquimaudog-master, whipped forward hisdogs. Ferriss, too, laid hold. The next hummock was surmounted, the dogspanting, and the men, even in that icy air, reeking"}

CONCLUSION.VOLUMEI.CHAPTER I.DILLSBOROUGH.I never could understand why anybody should ever have begun to liveat Dillsborough, or why the population there should havebeen at anytime recruited by new comers. That a man with a family should clingto a house in which he has once established himself is intelligible.The butcher whosupplied Dillsborough, or the baker, or theironmonger, though he might not drive what is called a roaring trade,nevertheless found himself probably able to live,and might wellhesitate before he would encounter the dangers of a more energeticlocality. But how it came to pass that he first got himself toDillsborough, or hisfather, or his grandfather before him, hasalways been a mystery to me. The town has no attractions, and neverhad any. It does not stand on a bed of coal andhas no connectionwith iron. It has no water peculiarly adapted for beer, or fordyeing, or for the cure of maladies. It is not surrounded by beautyof scenery strongenough to bring tourists and holiday travellers.There is no cathedral there to form, with its bishops, prebendaries,and minor canons, the nucleus of a clericalcircle. It manufacturesnothing specially. It has no great horse fair, or cattle fair, oreven pig market of special notoriety. Every Saturday farmers andgraziers andbuyers of corn and sheep do congregate in a sleepyfashion about the streets, but Dillsborough has no character of itsown, even as a market town. Its chief gloryis its parish church,which is ancient and inconvenient, having not as yet received any ofthose modern improvements which have of late become commonthroughoutEngland; but its parish church, though remarkable, is hardlycelebrated. The town consists chiefly of one street which is over amile long, with a squareor market-place in the middle, round whicha few lanes with queer old names are congregated, and a second smallopen space among these lanes, in which thechurch stands. As youpass along the street north-west, away from the railway station andfrom London, there is a steep hill, beginning to rise just beyondthemarket-place. Up to that point it is the High Street, thenceit is called Bullock's Hill. Beyond that you come to NorringtonRoad,--Norrington being the next town,distant from Dillsboroughabout twelve miles. Dillsborough, however, stands in the county ofRufford, whereas at the top of Bullock's Hill you enter the countyofUfford, of which Norrington is the assize town. The Dillsboroughpeople are therefore divided, some two thousand five hundred ofthem belonging to Rufford, andthe remaining five hundred to theneighbouring county. This accident has given rise to not a fewfeuds, Ufford being a large county, with pottery, and ribbons,andwatches going on in the farther confines; whereas Rufford issmall and thoroughly agricultural. The men at the top of Bullock'sHill are therefore disposed to thinkthemselves better than theirfellow-townsfolks, though they are small in number and not speciallythriving in their circumstances.At every interval of ten years,when the census is taken, thepopulation of Dillsborough is always found to have fallen off in someslight degree. For a few months after the publication of thefiguresa slight tinge of melancholy comes upon the town. The landlord of theBush Inn, who is really an enterprising man in his way and who haslooked about inevery direction for new sources of business, becomestaciturn for a while and forgets to smile upon comers; Mr. Ribbs,the butcher, tells his wife that it is out of thequestion that sheand the children should take that long-talked-of journey to thesea-coast; and Mr. Gregory Masters, the well-known old-establishedattorney ofDillsborough, whispers to some confidential friend thathe might as well take down his plate and shut up his house. But in amonth or two all that is forgotten, andnew hopes spring up even inDillsborough; Mr. Runciman at the Bush is putting up new stables forhunting-horses, that being the special trade for which he nowfindsthat there is an opening; Mrs. Ribbs is again allowed to suggestMare-Slocumb; and Mr. Masters goes on as he has done for the lastforty years, making thebest he can of a decreasing business.Dillsborough is built chiefly of brick, and is, in its own way,solid enough. The Bush, which in the time of the presentlandlord'sfather was one of the best posting inns on the road, is not onlysubstantial, but almost handsome. A broad coach way, cut through themiddle of thehouse, leads into a spacious, well-kept, clean yard,and on each side of the coach way there are bay windows looking intothe street,--the one belonging to thecommercial parlour, and theother to the so-called coffee-room. But the coffee-room has in truthfallen away from its former purposes, and is now used for afarmer'sordinary on market days, and other similar purposes. Travellers whorequire the use of a public sitting-room must all congregate in thecommercial parlourat the Bush. So far the interior of the house hasfallen from its past greatness. But the exterior is maintained withmuch care. The brickwork up to the eaves is wellpointed, fresh, andcomfortable to look at. In front of the carriage-way swings on twomassive supports the old sign of the Bush, as to which it may bedoubtedwhether even Mr. Runciman himself knows that it has swungthere, or been displayed in some fashion, since it was the custom forthe landlord to beat up wine tofreshen it before it was given to thecustomers to drink. The church, too, is of brick--though the towerand chancel are of stone. The attorney's house is of brick,whichshall not be more particularly described now as many of the sceneswhich these pages will have to describe were acted there; and almostthe entire HighStreet in the centre of the town was brick also.But the most remarkable house in Dillsborough was one standing in ashort thoroughfare called Hobbs Gate, leadingdown by the side of theBush Inn from the market-place to Church Square, as it is called. Asyou pass down towards the church this house is on the right hand,andit occupies with its garden the whole space between the market-placeand Church Square. But though the house enjoys the privilege of alarge garden,--solarge that the land being in the middle of a townwould be of great value were it not that Dillsborough is in itsdecadence,--still it stands flush up to the street uponwhich thefront door opens. It has an imposing flight of stone steps guardedby iron rails leading up to it, and on each side of the door thereis a row of threewindows, and on the two upper stories rows ofseven windows. Over the door there is a covering, on which there aregrotesquely-formed, carved wooden faces;and over the centre of eachwindow, let into the brickwork, is a carved stone. There are alsonumerous underground windows, sunk below the earth andprotectedby iron railings. Altogether the house is one which cannot fail toattract attention; and in the brickwork is clearly marked the date,1701,--not the verybest period for English architecture as regardsbeauty, but one in which walls and roofs, ceilings and buttresses,were built more substantially than they are to-day.This was the onlyhouse in Dillsborough which had a name of its own, and it was calledHoppet Hall, the Dillsborough chronicles telling that it had beenoriginallybuilt for and inhabited by the Hoppet family. The onlyHoppet now left in Dillsborough is old Joe Hoppet, the ostler at theBush; and the house, as was well known,had belonged to some memberof the Morton family for the last hundred years at least. The gardenand ground it stands upon comprise three acres, all of whicharesurrounded by a high brick wall, which is supposed to be coevalwith the house. The best Ribston pippins,--some people say the onlyreal Ribston pippins,--in all"}

BATTLEFIELD, JENKINS' FERRY, ARKANSAS -DAY                                   Heavy grey skies hang over a flooded field, the water two          feet deep. Cannons and carts, half-submerged andtilted,          their wheels trapped in the mud below the surface, are still          yoked to dead and dying horses and oxen.                                   A terrible battleis taking place; two infantry companies,          Negro Union soldiers and white Confederate soldiers, knee-          deep in the water, staggering because of themud beneath,          fight each other hand-to-hand, with rifles, bayonets,          pistols, knives and fists. There's no discipline or strategy,          nothingdepersonalized: it's mayhem and each side intensely          hates the other.

It is not usual, of course, for a magician tobeabsent-minded; but then, if it were usual it would not have happenedin Nonamia.  Nobody knew very much about this particular magician, forhe lived in his castlein the air, and it is not easy to visit any onewho lives in the air.  He did not want to be visited, however; visitorsalways meant conversation, and he could notendure conversation.  This,by the way, was not surprising, for he was so absent-minded that healways forgot the end of his sentence before he was half-waythroughthe beginning of it; and as for his visitors' remarks--well, if he hadhad any visitors, he would never have heard their remarks at all.  So,when some onedid call on him, one day,--and that was when he had beenliving in his castle in the air for seven hundred and seventy-sevenyears and had almost forgotten whohe was and why he was there,--themagician was so astonished that he could not think of anything to say.\"How did you get here?\" he asked at last; for even anabsent-mindedmagician cannot remain altogether silent, when he looks out of hiscastle in the air and sees a Princess in a gold and silver frock, witha bright littlecrown on her head, floating about on a soft white cloud.\"Well, I just came, that's all,\" answered the Princess, with aparticularly friendly smile.  \"You see, I havenever been able to findmy own castle in the air, so when the West Wind told me about yours Iasked him to blow me here.  May I come in and see what it islike?\"\"Certainly not,\" said the magician, hastily.  \"It is not like anything;and even if it were, I should not let you come in.  Don't you knowthat, if you were toenter another person's castle in the air, it wouldvanish away like a puff of smoke?\"\"Oh, dear!\" sighed the Princess.  \"I did so want to know what a realcastle in theair was like.  I wonder if yours is at all like mine!\"\"Tell me about yours,\" said the magician.  \"I may be able to help youto find it.\"  Of course, he only said this inorder to prevent her fromcoming inside his own castle.  At the same time, a little conversationwith a friendly Princess in a gold and silver gown is not atallunpleasant, when one has lived in a castle in the air for seven hundredand seventy-seven years.\"My castle in the air is much bigger than yours,\" sheexplained.  \"Ithas ever so many rooms in it,--a large room to laugh in and a smallroom to cry in--\"\"To cry in?\" interrupted the magician.  \"Why, no one everthinks ofcrying in a castle in the air!\"\"One never knows,\" answered the Princess, gravely.  \"Supposing I wereto prick my finger, what should I do if there was n't aroom to cry in?Then, there is a middling-sized room to be serious in; for there isjust a chance that I might want to be serious sometimes, and it wouldbe as wellto have a room, in case.\"\"Perhaps it would,\" observed the magician, who had never listened soattentively to a conversation in the whole of his longlife.  \"Whatelse will you have in your castle?\"\"I shall have lots of nice books that end happily,\" answered thePrincess; \"and they shall be talking books, so that Ineed not readthem to find out what they are about.  I shall have plenty of happythoughts in my castle, too, and lots of nice dreams piled up in heaps,and--well,there is just one thing more.\"\"What is that?\" asked the magician.\"Well, I think I should like to have a Prince in my castle, a nicePrince, who would not want to bejust dull and princely like all theprinces I have ever danced with, but a Prince who would like my castleexactly as I have built it and would play with me all daylong.  Thatwould be something like a Prince, wouldn't it?\"\"You could not possibly have a Prince,\" said the magician.  \"If youallowed some one else even to lookinto your castle in the air, itwould vanish away like a puff of smoke.  I have lived in my castle forseven hundred and seventy-seven years, and I have neverallowed any oneto put a foot in it.\"\"Is it so beautiful, then, your castle in the air?\" asked the Princess,wonderingly.\"I'm sure I don't know,\" said the absent-mindedmagician; \"I don'tthink I ever noticed.  I came to live in it, because it was the onlyplace in which I could be left alone.  That reminds me, that if you donot goaway at once I shall be obliged to become exceedingly angry withyou.\"\"By all means,\" said the Princess, who had the most charming manners inthe world; \"but Ishould like to have my castle first.\"\"I have n't got it here,\" said the magician, looking about him vaguely.\"I know I saw it somewhere not long ago, but I can'tremember what Idid with it.  However, if you ask the people of Nonamia, they will beable to tell you where it has gone.  You will find that they areveryobliging.\"\"Will they not be surprised?\" asked the Princess.\"Dear me, no!  The Nonamiacs are never surprised at anything,\" said themagician; and he drew inhis head from the window.  The Princess in thegold and silver frock sailed away on her cloud, and landed presently inthe flat, green country of Nonamia.\"Have youseen my castle in the air?\" she asked, very politely, of thefirst Nonamiac she met.\"What is it like?\" asked the Nonamiac, without showing the leastsurprise.\"It isever so large and ever so beautiful, and it is packed full ofhappiness, and there is a nice Prince inside,\" answered the Princess.\"Ah,\" said the Nonamiac; \"then itmust be the one I saw being blownalong by the South Wind.  But there was no Prince inside.\"The Princess thanked him and hastened away in the direction oftheSouth Wind until she met another Nonamiac, to whom she explained aspolitely as before what she wanted to know.\"Ah,\" said the Nonamiac, \"that must be thecastle I met just now as itwas being carried off by the North Wind.  But I saw no Prince inside.\"The Princess turned round and hurried after the North Wind as fastasshe could go.  As soon as she met another Nonamiac, however, she had toturn round once more, for he told her that her castle had just beenstolen by the EastWind; and when she had been walking quite a longtime in the direction of the East Wind, she met yet another Nonamiac,who told her that it was the West Windwho had taken away her castle inthe air.\"It is too bad!\" said the little Princess, sitting down exhausted on alarge stone by the side of the road.  \"Why should allthe winds beplaying with my castle in the air?\"\"Castles in the air generally go to the winds,\" observed a traveller ina dusty brown cloak, who was sitting onanother large stone, not veryfar off.  She was quite sure he had not been there the moment before,but, in Nonamia, there was nothing remarkable aboutthat.  The Princesswiped the tears out of her eyes with a small lace handkerchief, andlooked at the stranger.\"Mine is a very particular castle in the air, you see,\"she said.  \"Itis ever so large and ever so beautiful, and it is packed with happinessand dreams, and _perhaps_ there is a Prince in it, too.\"\"A Prince?\" said thestranger.  \"What sort of Prince?\"\"A nice Prince,\" explained the Princess, \"who can play games and tellstories and be amusing.  All the Princes I know can donothing butdance, and they are not at all amusing.  I am afraid, though,\" sheadded, sighing, \"that I am going to have my castle without a Prince,after all.\"\"Wouldit do,\" asked the traveller in the dusty brown cloak, \"if youwere to have a Prince without a castle?\"\"Oh, no!\" answered the Princess, decidedly.  \"If you knew howbeautifulmy castle in the air is, you would not even ask such a stupid question!\"Then she again took up her small lace handkerchief, and she brushed thedustfrom her gold and silver gown, and polished up her bright littlegold crown, and made herself as neat and dainty as a Princess shouldbe; for, in Nonamia, onenever knows what may happen next, and it isjust as well to be prepared.  And, in fact, no sooner was she quitetidy than the West Wind came hurrying along withher castle in the air;and the Princess gave a shout of joy and sprang inside it; and the WestWind blew, and blew, and blew, until the castle that was packed fullofhappiness, and the little Princess in the gold and silver gown, wereboth completely out of sight.  The traveller looked after them and felta little forlorn; then hepicked up his stick and walked on until hecame to the magician's castle.  This may seem a little surprising, ashe had no wings of any kind and the magician'scastle was in the air;but it must be remembered that it all happened in Nonamia.\"Dear, dear!  Here 's another of them!\" grumbled the magician, when helookedout of his window and saw the stranger standing below.  Afterbeing alone for seven hundred and seventy-seven years, it was a littleexhausting to have twovisitors on the same day.  Besides, a travellerin a dusty brown cloak is not at all the same thing as a daintyPrincess in a gold and silver gown.\"Good-day,\" said thestranger.  \"Are you the magician who has given acastle in the air to a Princess in a gold and silver frock with abright little crown on her head?\"\"Very likely; but Icannot say for certain,\" said the absent-mindedmagician.  \"I believe there was something of the kind, now you come tomention it; but I could n't tell you what it"}

Posterity may beshot, like abullet through a tube, by atmospheric pressure, from Winchester toNewcastle: that is a fine result to have among our hopes; but the slow,oldfashioned way of getting from one end of our country to the other isthe better thing to have in the memory. The tube-journey can never lendmuch to picture andnarrative; it is as barren as an exclamatory O!Whereas, the happy outside passenger, seated on the box from the dawn tothe gloaming, gathered enough storiesof English life, enough of Englishlabors in town and country, enough aspects of earth and sky, to makeepisodes for a modern Odyssey. Suppose only that hisjourney took himthrough that central plain, watered at one extremity by the Avon, at theother by the Trent. As the morning silvered the meadows with theirlonglines of bushy willows marking the water-courses, or burnished thegolden corn-ricks clustered near the long roofs of some midlandhomestead, he saw thefull-uddered cows driven from their pasture to theearly milking. Perhaps it was the shepherd, head-servant of the farm,who drove them, his sheep-dog followingwith a heedless, unofficial air,as of a beadle in undress. The shepherd, with a slow and slouching walk,timed by the walk of grazing beasts, moved aside, as ifunwillingly,throwing out a monosyllabic hint to his cattle; his glance, accustomedto rest on things very near the earth, seemed to lift itself withdifficulty to thecoachman. Mail or stage coach for him belonged to themysterious distant system of things called \"Gover'ment,\" which, whateverit might be, was no business ofhis, any more than the most outlyingnebula or the coal-sacks of the southern hemisphere: his solar systemwas the parish; the master's temper and the casualtiesof lambing-timewere his region of storms. He cut his bread and bacon with hispocket-knife, and felt no bitterness except in the matter of pauperlaborers and thebad-luck that sent contrarious seasons and thesheep-rot. He and his cows were soon left behind, and the homestead,too, with its pond overhung by elder-trees,its untidy kitchen-gardenand cone-shaped yew-tree arbor. But everywhere the bushy hedgerowswasted the land with their straggling beauty, shrouded thegrassyborders of the pastures with catkined hazels, and tossed their longblackberry branches on the corn-fields. Perhaps they were white withMay, or starred withpale pink dog-roses; perhaps the urchins werealready nutting among them, or gathering the plenteous crabs. It wasworth the journey only to see thosehedgerows, the liberal homes ofunmarketable beauty--of the purple blossomed, ruby-berried nightshade,of the wild convolvulus climbing and spreading intendriled strengthtill it made a great curtain of pale-green hearts and white trumpets, ofthe many-tubed honey-suckle which, in its most delicate fragrance, hidacharm more subtle and penetrating than beauty. Even if it were winter,the hedgerows showed their coral, the scarlet haws, the deep-crimsonhips, with lingeringbrown leaves to make a resting-place for the jewelsof the hoar-frost. Such hedgerows were often as tall as the laborers'cottages dotted along the lanes, orclustered into a small hamlet, theirlittle dingy windows telling, like thick-filmed eyes, of nothing but thedarkness within. The passenger on the coach-box, bowledalong abovesuch a hamlet, saw chiefly the roofs of it: probably it turned its backon the road, and seemed to lie away from everything but its own patch ofearthand sky, away from the parish church by long fields and greenlanes, away from all intercourse except that of tramps. If its facecould be seen, it was most likelydirty; but the dirt was Protestantdirt, and the big, bold, gin-breathing tramps were Protestant tramps.There was no sign of superstition near, no crucifix or imageto indicatea misguided reverence: the inhabitants were probably so free fromsuperstition that they were in much less awe of the parson than of theoverseer. Yetthey were saved from the excess of Protestantism by notknowing how to read, and by the absence of handlooms and mines to be thepioneers of Dissent: theywere kept safely in the _via media_ ofindifference, and could have registered themselves in the census by abig black mark as members of the Church ofEngland.But there were trim cheerful villages too, with a neat or handsomeparsonage and gray church set in the midst; there was the pleasanttinkle of theblacksmith's anvil, the patient cart horses waiting at hisdoor; the basket-maker peeling his willow wands in the sunshine; thewheelwright putting his last touch toa blue cart with red wheels; hereand there a cottage with bright transparent windows showing pots full ofblooming balsams or geraniums, and little gardens infront all doubledaisies or dark wallflowers; at the well, clean and comely womencarrying yoked buckets, and toward the free school small Britonsdawdling on, andhandling their marbles in the pockets of unpatchedcorduroys adorned with brass buttons. The land around was rich andmarly, great corn-stacks stood in therick-yards--for the rick-burnershad not found their way hither; the homesteads were those of richfarmers who paid no rent, or had the rare advantage of a lease,andcould afford to keep the corn till prices had risen. The coach would besure to overtake some of them on their way to their outlying fields orto the market-town,sitting heavily on their well-groomed horses, orweighing down one side of an olive-green gig. They probably thought ofthe coach with some contempt, as anaccommodation for people who had nottheir own gigs, or who, wanting to travel to London and such distantplaces, belonged to the trading and less solid part ofthe nation. Thepassenger on the box could see that this was the district of protuberantoptimists, sure that old England was the best of all possible countries,andthat if there were any facts which had not fallen under their ownobservation, they were facts not worth observing: the district of cleanlittle market-towns withoutmanufactures, of fat livings, anaristocratic clergy, and low poor-rates. But as the day wore on thescene would change: the land would begin to be blackened withcoal-pits,the rattle of handlooms to be heard in hamlets and villages. Here werepowerful men walking queerly with knees bent outward from squatting inthe mine,going home to throw themselves down in their blackened flanneland sleep through the daylight, then rise and spend much of their highwages at the ale-housewith their fellows of the Benefit Club; here thepale eager faces of the handloom-weavers, men and women, haggard fromsitting up late at night to finish theweek's work, hardly begun tillthe Wednesday. Everywhere the cottages and the small children weredirty, for the languid mothers gave their strength to the loom;piousDissenting women, perhaps, who took life patiently, and thought thatsalvation depended chiefly on predestination, and not at all oncleanliness. The gables ofDissenting chapels now made a visible sign ofreligion, and of a meeting-place to counterbalance the ale-house, evenin the hamlets; but if a couple of oldtermagants were seen tearing eachother's caps, it was a safe conclusion that, if they had not receivedthe sacraments of the Church, they had not at least given intoschismatic rites, and were free from the errors of Voluntaryism. Thebreath of the manufacturing town, which made a cloudy day and a redgloom by night on thehorizon, diffused itself over all the surroundingcountry, filling the air with eager unrest. Here was a population notconvinced that old England was as good aspossible; here weremultitudinous men and women aware that their religion was not exactlythe religion of their rulers, who might therefore be better thantheywere, and who, if better, might alter many things which now made theworld perhaps more painful than it need be, and certainly more sinful.Yet there werethe gray steeples too, and the churchyards, with theirgrassy mounds and venerable headstones, sleeping in the sunlight; therewere broad fields and homesteads,and fine old woods covering a risingground, or stretching far by the roadside, allowing only peeps at thepark and mansion which they shut in from theworking-day world. In thesemidland districts the traveller passed rapidly from one phase of Englishlife to another: after looking down on a village dingy withcoal-dust,noisy with the shaking of looms, he might skirt a parish all of fields,high hedges, and deep rutted lanes; after the coach had rattled over thepavement ofa manufacturing town, the scenes of riots and trades-unionmeetings, it would take him in another ten minutes into a rural region,where the neighborhood of thetown was only felt in the advantages of anear market for corn, cheese, and hay, and where men with a considerablebanking account were accustomed to say that"}

Dmitri Dmitritch Gurov, who had by then been a fortnightat Yalta, andso was fairly at home there, had begun to take an interestin new arrivals. Sitting in Verney's pavilion, he saw, walking on thesea-front, a fair-haired young lady ofmedium height, wearing a _béret_;a white Pomeranian dog was running behind her.And afterwards he met her in the public gardens and in the squareseveraltimes a day. She was walking alone, always wearing the same_béret_, and always with the same white dog; no one knew who she was,and every one calledher simply \"the lady with the dog.\"\"If she is here alone without a husband or friends, it wouldn't be amissto make her acquaintance,\" Gurov reflected.He wasunder forty, but he had a daughter already twelve years old, andtwo sons at school. He had been married young, when he was a student inhis second year, andby now his wife seemed half as old again as he. Shewas a tall, erect woman with dark eyebrows, staid and dignified, and, asshe said of herself, intellectual. Sheread a great deal, used phoneticspelling, called her husband, not Dmitri, but Dimitri, and he secretlyconsidered her unintelligent, narrow, inelegant, was afraid ofher, anddid not like to be at home. He had begun being unfaithful to her longago--had been unfaithful to her often, and, probably on that account,almost alwaysspoke ill of women, and when they were talked about in hispresence, used to call them \"the lower race.\"It seemed to him that he had been so schooled by bitterexperience thathe might call them what he liked, and yet he could not get on for twodays together without \"the lower race.\" In the society of men he wasboredand not himself, with them he was cold and uncommunicative; butwhen he was in the company of women he felt free, and knew what to sayto them and how tobehave; and he was at ease with them even when he wassilent. In his appearance, in his character, in his whole nature, therewas something attractive andelusive which allured women and disposedthem in his favour; he knew that, and some force seemed to draw him,too, to them.Experience often repeated, trulybitter experience, had taught him longago that with decent people, especially Moscow people--always slow tomove and irresolute--every intimacy, which at firstso agreeablydiversifies life and appears a light and charming adventure, inevitablygrows into a regular problem of extreme intricacy, and in the long runthesituation becomes unbearable. But at every fresh meeting with aninteresting woman this experience seemed to slip out of his memory, andhe was eager for life,and everything seemed simple and amusing.One evening he was dining in the gardens, and the lady in the _béret_came up slowly to take the next table. Herexpression, her gait, herdress, and the way she did her hair told him that she was a lady, thatshe was married, that she was in Yalta for the first time and alone,andthat she was dull there.... The stories told of the immorality in suchplaces as Yalta are to a great extent untrue; he despised them, and knewthat such storieswere for the most part made up by persons who wouldthemselves have been glad to sin if they had been able; but when thelady sat down at the next table threepaces from him, he rememberedthese tales of easy conquests, of trips to the mountains, and thetempting thought of a swift, fleeting love affair, a romance withanunknown woman, whose name he did not know, suddenly took possession ofhim.He beckoned coaxingly to the Pomeranian, and when the dog came up tohimhe shook his finger at it. The Pomeranian growled: Gurov shook hisfinger at it again.The lady looked at him and at once dropped her eyes.\"He doesn't bite,\"she said, and blushed.\"May I give him a bone?\" he asked; and when she nodded he askedcourteously, \"Have you been long in Yalta?\"\"Five days.\"\"And I havealready dragged out a fortnight here.\"There was a brief silence.\"Time goes fast, and yet it is so dull here!\" she said, not looking athim.\"That's only the fashion tosay it is dull here. A provincial will livein Belyov or Zhidra and not be dull, and when he comes here it's 'Oh,the dulness! Oh, the dust!' One would think he camefrom Grenada.\"She laughed. Then both continued eating in silence, like strangers, butafter dinner they walked side by side; and there sprang up betweenthemthe light jesting conversation of people who are free and satisfied, towhom it does not matter where they go or what they talk about. Theywalked and talkedof the strange light on the sea: the water was of asoft warm lilac hue, and there was a golden streak from the moon uponit. They talked of how sultry it was aftera hot day. Gurov told herthat he came from Moscow, that he had taken his degree in Arts, but hada post in a bank; that he had trained as an opera-singer, buthad givenit up, that he owned two houses in Moscow.... And from her he learntthat she had grown up in Petersburg, but had lived in S---- since hermarriage twoyears before, that she was staying another month in Yalta,and that her husband, who needed a holiday too, might perhaps come andfetch her. She was not surewhether her husband had a post in a CrownDepartment or under the Provincial Council--and was amused by her ownignorance. And Gurov learnt, too, that shewas called Anna Sergeyevna.Afterwards he thought about her in his room at the hotel--thought shewould certainly meet him next day; it would be sure tohappen. As he gotinto bed he thought how lately she had been a girl at school, doinglessons like his own daughter; he recalled the diffidence, theangularity, thatwas still manifest in her laugh and her manner oftalking with a stranger. This must have been the first time in her lifeshe had been alone in surroundings in whichshe was followed, looked at,and spoken to merely from a secret motive which she could hardly fail toguess. He recalled her slender, delicate neck, her lovely greyeyes.\"There's something pathetic about her, anyway,\" he thought, and fellasleep.IIA week had passed since they had made acquaintance. It was a holiday. Itwassultry indoors, while in the street the wind whirled the dust roundand round, and blew people's hats off. It was a thirsty day, and Gurovoften went into thepavilion, and pressed Anna Sergeyevna to have syrupand water or an ice. One did not know what to do with oneself.In the evening when the wind had dropped alittle, they went out on thegroyne to see the steamer come in. There were a great many peoplewalking about the harbour; they had gathered to welcome someone,bringing bouquets. And two peculiarities of a well-dressed Yalta crowdwere very conspicuous: the elderly ladies were dressed like young ones,and there weregreat numbers of generals.Owing to the roughness of the sea, the steamer arrived late, after thesun had set, and it was a long time turning about before itreached thegroyne. Anna Sergeyevna looked through her lorgnette at the steamer andthe passengers as though looking for acquaintances, and when sheturnedto Gurov her eyes were shining. She talked a great deal and askeddisconnected questions, forgetting next moment what she had asked; thenshe droppedher lorgnette in the crush.The festive crowd began to disperse; it was too dark to see people'sfaces. The wind had completely dropped, but Gurov and AnnaSergeyevnastill stood as though waiting to see some one else come from thesteamer. Anna Sergeyevna was silent now, and sniffed the flowers withoutlooking atGurov.\"The weather is better this evening,\" he said. \"Where shall we go now?Shall we drive somewhere?\"She made no answer.Then he looked at her intently,and all at once put his arm round herand kissed her on the lips, and breathed in the moisture and thefragrance of the flowers; and he immediately looked roundhim, anxiouslywondering whether any one had seen them.\"Let us go to your hotel,\" he said softly. And both walked quickly.The room was close and smelt of thescent she had bought at the Japaneseshop. Gurov looked at her and thought: \"What different people one meetsin the world!\" From the past he preservedmemories of careless,good-natured women, who loved cheerfully and were grateful to him forthe happiness he gave them, however brief it might be; and ofwomen likehis wife who loved without any genuine feeling, with superfluousphrases, affectedly, hysterically, with an expression that suggestedthat it was not lovenor passion, but something more significant; and oftwo or three others, very beautiful, cold women, on whose faces he hadcaught a glimpse of a rapaciousexpression--an obstinate desire tosnatch from life more than it could give, and these were capricious,unreflecting, domineering, unintelligent women not in theirfirst youth,and when Gurov grew cold to them their beauty excited his hatred, andthe lace on their linen seemed to him like scales.But in this case there was stillthe diffidence, the angularity ofinexperienced youth, an awkward feeling; and there was a sense ofconsternation as though some one had suddenly knocked atthe door. Theattitude of Anna Sergeyevna--\"the lady with the dog\"--to what hadhappened was somehow peculiar, very grave, as though it were herfall--so itseemed, and it was strange and inappropriate. Her facedropped and faded, and on both sides of it her long hair hung downmournfully; she mused in a dejectedattitude like \"the woman who was asinner\" in an old-fashioned picture.\"It's wrong,\" she said. \"You will be the first to despise me now.\"There was a water-melonon the table. Gurov cut himself a slice andbegan eating it without haste. There followed at least half an hour ofsilence.Anna Sergeyevna was touching; there wasabout her the purity of a good,simple woman who had seen little of life. The solitary candle burning onthe table threw a faint light on her face, yet it was clearthat she wasvery unhappy.\"How could I despise you?\" asked Gurov. \"You don't know what you aresaying.\"\"God forgive me,\" she said, and her eyes filled withtears. \"It'sawful.\"\"You seem to feel you need to be forgiven.\"\"Forgiven? No. I am a bad, low woman; I despise myself and don't attemptto justify myself. It's notmy husband but myself I have deceived. Andnot only just now; I have been deceiving myself for a long time. Myhusband may be a good, honest man, but he is aflunkey! I don't knowwhat he does there, what his work is, but I know he is a flunkey! I wastwenty when I was married to him.

BarrieCONTENTS     Peter Pan     The Thrush's Nest     The Little House     Lock-Out TimePeter PanIf you ask your mother whether she knewabout Peter Pan when she was alittle girl she will say, \"Why, of course, I did, child,\" and if youask her whether he rode on a goat in those days she will say,\"Whata foolish question to ask, certainly he did.\" Then if you ask yourgrandmother whether she knew about Peter Pan when she was a girl, shealso says, \"Why, ofcourse, I did, child,\" but if you ask her whether herode on a goat in those days, she says she never heard of his having agoat. Perhaps she has forgotten, just asshe sometimes forgets your nameand calls you Mildred, which is your mother's name. Still, she couldhardly forget such an important thing as the goat. Thereforethere wasno goat when your grandmother was a little girl. This shows that, intelling the story of Peter Pan, to begin with the goat (as most peopledo) is as silly asto put on your jacket before your vest.Of course, it also shows that Peter is ever so old, but he is reallyalways the same age, so that does not matter in the least.His ageis one week, and though he was born so long ago he has never had abirthday, nor is there the slightest chance of his ever having one. Thereason is thathe escaped from being a human when he was seven days'old; he escaped by the window and flew back to the Kensington Gardens.If you think he was the onlybaby who ever wanted to escape, it showshow completely you have forgotten your own young days. When David heardthis story first he was quite certain that hehad never tried to escape,but I told him to think back hard, pressing his hands to his temples,and when he had done this hard, and even harder, hedistinctlyremembered a youthful desire to return to the tree-tops, and with thatmemory came others, as that he had lain in bed planning to escape assoon as hismother was asleep, and how she had once caught him half-wayup the chimney. All children could have such recollections if they wouldpress their hands hard totheir temples, for, having been birds beforethey were human, they are naturally a little wild during the first fewweeks, and very itchy at the shoulders, wheretheir wings used to be. SoDavid tells me.I ought to mention here that the following is our way with a story:First, I tell it to him, and then he tells it to me, theunderstandingbeing that it is quite a different story; and then I retell it with hisadditions, and so we go on until no one could say whether it is morehis story ormine. In this story of Peter Pan, for instance, the baldnarrative and most of the moral reflections are mine, though not all,for this boy can be a stern moralist, butthe interesting bits about theways and customs of babies in the bird-stage are mostly reminiscencesof David's, recalled by pressing his hands to his temples andthinkinghard.Well, Peter Pan got out by the window, which had no bars. Standingon the ledge he could see trees far away, which were doubtless theKensingtonGardens, and the moment he saw them he entirely forgot thathe was now a little boy in a nightgown, and away he flew, right over thehouses to the Gardens. It iswonderful that he could fly without wings,but the place itched tremendously, and, perhaps we could all fly if wewere as dead-confident-sure of our capacity to doit as was bold PeterPan that evening.He alighted gaily on the open sward, between the Baby's Palace and theSerpentine, and the first thing he did was to lie onhis back and kick.He was quite unaware already that he had ever been human, and thought hewas a bird, even in appearance, just the same as in his early days,andwhen he tried to catch a fly he did not understand that the reason hemissed it was because he had attempted to seize it with his hand, which,of course, a birdnever does. He saw, however, that it must be pastLock-out Time, for there were a good many fairies about, all too busyto notice him; they were getting breakfastready, milking their cows,drawing water, and so on, and the sight of the water-pails made himthirsty, so he flew over to the Round Pond to have a drink. Hestooped,and dipped his beak in the pond; he thought it was his beak, but, ofcourse, it was only his nose, and, therefore, very little water came up,and that not sorefreshing as usual, so next he tried a puddle, and hefell flop into it. When a real bird falls in flop, he spreads out hisfeathers and pecks them dry, but Peter couldnot remember what wasthe thing to do, and he decided, rather sulkily, to go to sleep on theweeping beech in the Baby Walk.At first he found some difficulty inbalancing himself on a branch, butpresently he remembered the way, and fell asleep. He awoke long beforemorning, shivering, and saying to himself, \"I neverwas out in such acold night;\" he had really been out in colder nights when he was a bird,but, of course, as everybody knows, what seems a warm night to a birdisa cold night to a boy in a nightgown. Peter also felt strangelyuncomfortable, as if his head was stuffy, he heard loud noises that madehim look round sharply,though they were really himself sneezing. Therewas something he wanted very much, but, though he knew he wanted it, hecould not think what it was. What hewanted so much was his mother toblow his nose, but that never struck him, so he decided to appeal to thefairies for enlightenment. They are reputed to know agood deal.There were two of them strolling along the Baby Walk, with their armsround each other's waists, and he hopped down to address them. Thefairies havetheir tiffs with the birds, but they usually give a civilanswer to a civil question, and he was quite angry when these two ranaway the moment they saw him.Another was lolling on a garden-chair,reading a postage-stamp which some human had let fall, and when he heardPeter's voice he popped in alarm behind atulip.To Peter's bewilderment he discovered that every fairy he met fled fromhim. A band of workmen, who were sawing down a toadstool, rushed away,leavingtheir tools behind them. A milkmaid turned her pail upside downand hid in it. Soon the Gardens were in an uproar. Crowds of fairieswere running this way andthat, asking each other stoutly, who wasafraid, lights were extinguished, doors barricaded, and from the groundsof Queen Mab's palace came the rubadub ofdrums, showing that the royalguard had been called out.A regiment of Lancers came charging down the Broad Walk, armed withholly-leaves, with which they jogthe enemy horribly in passing. Peterheard the little people crying everywhere that there was a human in theGardens after Lock-out Time, but he never thoughtfor a moment that hewas the human. He was feeling stuffier and stuffier, and more and morewistful to learn what he wanted done to his nose, but he pursuedthemwith the vital question in vain; the timid creatures ran from him, andeven the Lancers, when he approached them up the Hump, turned swiftlyinto aside-walk, on the pretence that they saw him there.Despairing of the fairies, he resolved to consult the birds, but now heremembered, as an odd thing, that allthe birds on the weeping beech hadflown away when he alighted on it, and though that had not troubled himat the time, he saw its meaning now. Every livingthing was shunninghim. Poor little Peter Pan, he sat down and cried, and even then he didnot know that, for a bird, he was sitting on his wrong part. It isablessing that he did not know, for otherwise he would have lost faithin his power to fly, and the moment you doubt whether you can fly, youcease forever to beable to do it. The reason birds can fly and we can'tis simply that they have perfect faith, for to have faith is to havewings.Now, except by flying, no one can reachthe island in the Serpentine,for the boats of humans are forbidden to land there, and thereare stakes round it, standing up in the water, on each of whichabird-sentinel sits by day and night. It was to the island that Peter nowflew to put his strange case before old Solomon Caw, and he alighted onit with relief, muchheartened to find himself at last at home, as thebirds call the island. All of them were asleep, including the sentinels,except Solomon, who was wide awake on oneside, and he listened quietlyto Peter's adventures, and then told him their true meaning.\"Look at your night-gown, if you don't believe me,\" Solomon said,andwith staring eyes Peter looked at his nightgown, and then at thesleeping birds. Not one of them wore anything.\"How many of your toes are thumbs?\" saidSolomon a little cruelly, andPeter saw to his consternation, that all his toes were fingers. Theshock was so great that it drove away his cold.\"Ruffle your feathers,\"said that grim old Solomon, and Peter tried mostdesperately hard to ruffle his feathers, but he had none. Then he roseup, quaking, and for the first time since hestood on the window-ledge,he remembered a lady who had been very fond of him.\"I think I shall go back to mother,\" he said timidly.\"Good-bye,\" replied SolomonCaw with a queer look.But Peter hesitated. \"Why don't you go?\" the old one asked politely.\"I suppose,\" said Peter huskily, \"I suppose I can still fly?\"You see, hehad lost faith.\"Poor little half-and-half,\" said Solomon, who was not reallyhard-hearted, \"you will never be able to fly again, not even on windydays. You must livehere on the island always.\"\"And never even go to the Kensington Gardens?\" Peter asked tragically.\"How could you get across?\" said Solomon. He promised verykindly,however, to teach Peter as many of the bird ways as could be learned byone of such an awkward shape.\"Then I sha'n't be exactly a human?\" Peterasked.\"No.\"\"Nor exactly a bird?\"\"No.\"\"What shall I be?\"\"You will be a Betwixt-and-Between,\" Solomon said, and certainly he wasa wise old fellow, for that isexactly how it turned out.The birds on the island never got used to him. His oddities tickled themevery day, as if they were quite new, though it was really thebirdsthat were new. They came out of the eggs daily, and laughed at him atonce, then off they soon flew to be humans, and other birds came outof other eggs,and so it went on forever. The crafty mother-birds, whenthey tired of sitting on their eggs, used to get the young one to breaktheir shells a day before the righttime by whispering to them that nowwas their chance to see Peter washing or drinking or eating. Thousandsgathered round him daily to watch him do thesethings, just as you watchthe peacocks, and they screamed with delight when he lifted the cruststhey flung him with his hands instead of in the usual way withthemouth. All his food was brought to him from the Gardens at Solomon'sorders by the birds. He would not eat worms or insects (which theythought very silly ofhim), so they brought him bread in their beaks.Thus, when you cry out, \"Greedy! Greedy!\" to the bird that flies awaywith the big crust, you know now that you"}

SUBURBANNEIGHBORHOOD -- NIGHT                         FADE UP:          Moving through a tract development. The houses are like          Mexican food -- thebasic elements are all the same, just          mixed differently.          A gloomy night, no moon. And a slightly ominous pattern          emerges...          Green,thriving lawns and meticulously tended homes abut          brown yards and porches littered with old newspapers and          pizza joint flyers.          Each third orfourth house is FOR SALE or, worse, seemingly          abandoned. This area is in danger of becoming a ghost town.          A deep, commanding voice pierces thesilence:          VOICE (O.S.)          Defy reason. Defy everything you          know.          Now we move in on one of the homes. Not the nicest onthe          block, but inhabited. Lights on in the windows.          INT. SUBURBAN HOME/VARIOUS -- NIGHT          Inside the house. A middle-classfamily lives here. The          living room is empty, but the TV's on.          ON THE TELEVISION          A commercial for PETER VINCENT. A Las Vegasinstitution,          he's a magician whose show is all Gothic, horror-movie          imagery.          Peter's wiry, hot -- a rock and roll bad boy. He's cuttinga          girl up with a chain saw. And grinning like a mad man.                         TELEVISION ANNOUNCER          Peter Vincent's \"FRIGHTNIGHT.\"          The family DOG is up on the coffee table eating what's left          of a fast food burger and fries, still in the box.

He lived in that happyplace with God. Then God made theworld. He told the hills to come up out of the earth, and the seas torun down into the deep places which He had made forthem. He made thegrass, the trees, and all the pretty flowers. He put the sun, themoon, and the stars in the sky. He filled the water with swimmingfish, the airwith flying birds, and the dry land with walking andcreeping animals. And then He said, 'Let _Us_ make man.' Who weremeant by 'Us'? Who was with God whenHe made the world? It was Jesus.The Bible says:'THE WORD (that means Jesus) WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. THESAME WAS IN THEBEGINNING WITH GOD. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM.'So after He had made everything else, God made a man, and named himAdam. God put Adam intothe beautiful Garden of Eden, and at first hewas good and very happy. God also made a woman, named Eve, to be hiswife, and to help him to take care of thegarden. All the fruit in thegarden, except what grew on one tree, was given to Adam and Eve to eat;all the animals were their servants; and God was theirFriend.A wicked angel, who had been turned out of heaven, saw how happy Adamand Eve were, and he was angry, and thought, 'I will make them as badandunhappy as I am; I will make them do what God has told them not todo. Then he will turn them out of Eden, and they and their childrenwill be my servants forever, and I shall be king of the world.'So the wicked angel, whose name was Satan, came into Eden. He got Adamand Eve to take the fruit which God had toldthem not to eat, and Godhad to send them out of the beautiful garden; for God had said He wouldpunish Adam and Eve if they took that fruit, and God alwayskeeps Hisword.But God went on loving Adam and Eve even when He knew that He mustpunish them, and He tried to make them good in this way. He thought,'Iwill send My dear Son down to the earth. He shall become a littlechild, and grow up to be a man, and shall die for the sins of theworld.'Hundreds and hundreds ofyears passed away before Jesus came. But agreat many of the people who lived in Palestine were expecting Him.God had said that when Jesus came, He wouldbe a Jew. The Jews werevery proud about that. They often talked about the coming of Jesus.When they talked about Him, they called Him the Messiah.Justbefore Jesus was born, the Jews were very unhappy. Roman soldiershad been fighting with them, and had conquered them, and made themservants of the greatRoman king. He was called Augustus Caesar, andhe gave the Jews another king called Herod. He was very wicked.[Illustration: Map of Palestine at the time ofChrist.]The Jews longed to get rid of Herod, and many of them thought, 'It willbe all right when the Messiah comes. The Messiah will fight againstthe Romans; Hewill drive them away from our land; and then He will beour King instead of that wicked Herod.' But only a few Jews rememberedthat Jesus was coming to fightagainst Satan and against sin.The place where the Jews lived had four or five names. It was calledthe Land of Canaan at the first, then the Land of Promise, andthen theLand of Israel. But we call it the Holy Land, or Palestine.If you look at the map of Palestine, you will see a river running fromthe north of Palestine to thesouth. That river is called the Jordan.And Palestine is divided into four parts,--one at the top (we call thatthe north), one at the bottom (we call that the south),one in themiddle, and one on the other or eastward side of the Jordan.The part in the North is called Galilee. The part in the south iscalled Judaea. The part inthe middle is called Samaria. The part onthe other side of the Jordan is called Perea.Palestine is full of hills, with great holes, called caves, in theirsides. Palestineis not very big; England is about six times, and NewYork State about five times larger. Washington is called the capitalof the United States. The capital ofPalestine was Jerusalem.Jerusalem was a very beautiful city. It was built on four or fivehills which were very close together. One of these hills was calledMountMoriah. On the top of Mount Moriah there was a great Templewhere the Jews went to pray. Part of the Temple was called the HolyPlace, the part at the very topof the mountain. It was splendid withits shining gold and white marble, but it was not very large, for thepeople were not allowed to go into it. When it was timefor the Jewsto go to the Temple, silver trumpets were blown once, twice, threetimes, and then the gates were thrown open, and the people crowded intothecourts.CHAPTER IIJESUS IS BORN IN BETHLEHEMMary, the mother of Jesus, lived in the little town of Nazareth, amongthe hills of Galilee. She was going to bemarried to a carpentercalled Joseph, who, like herself, lived in Nazareth. One day God sentthe angel Gabriel to Mary with a message. Mary, when she saw andheardthe angel, was a little frightened. But the angel told her he had someglad news for her. Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, was coming intothe world verysoon, and He was to come in the form of a baby, asMary's little child. And Gabriel said that when He was born, Mary mustcall Him JESUS.Mary had a cousinnamed Elizabeth, who lived more than a hundred milesaway from Nazareth, and Mary longed to talk with her about all thesewonderful things. So she got readyfor a long journey, and went offinto the hill country of Judaea to see Elizabeth.And God had also promised to send Elizabeth a son. And soon afterMary's visit thebaby was born, and all Elizabeth's friends were glad,and came to see her, and to thank God with her for His great kindness.The little Jew babies have a namegiven to them when they are eightdays old. And Elizabeth's son was named John.One night, soon after Mary got back from her cousin Elizabeth's house,the angelof the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream. The angel toldJoseph to marry Mary, and he told him Mary's secret about the Son ofGod coming to earth as her littlechild, and he said to Joseph, 'THOUSHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS, FOB HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIRSINS.' When Joseph woke up, his first thoughtwas to do what the angelhad told him, and he at once took Mary to his own home as his wife.About this time Caesar Augustus, the great Emperor at Rome, sentwordto Herod that he was to take a census of the Jews. Everybody's namehad to be written down and his age, and many other things about him.Every twentyyears Augustus had a census taken, so that he might knowhow much money the Jews ought to pay him, and how many Jew soldiers heought to have.InPalestine, at census time, people had to go to the towns where theirfathers' fathers lived a long time ago, and had to have their names putdown there instead ofhaving them put down in their own homes. Now,both Joseph and Mary belonged to the family of the great king David,who was born in Bethlehem. So Mary hadto prepare for a long journey,and go with her husband to Bethlehem. Bethlehem is six miles fromJerusalem. It is on the top of a hill, and people have to climbup asteep road to get into the town.An inn is a large house that people stay at when they are on a journey.The inns in Palestine have four walls, with a door infront, and with agreat empty space for camels and horses inside. In the middle of theempty space is a fountain; and all round the walls, a little bit higherthan thepart where the animals are, there are a number of places likeempty stone arbors. These empty places are called _leewans_, and theyare open in front, so thateverybody can see into them. Yet Mary andJoseph, after all their long journey from Nazareth, could not find evenan empty _leewan_ to lie down in.[Illustration:The shepherd's care.]Near that inn there was a place in which asses and camels were kept.It was perhaps a cave in the side of the hill. And because there wasnoroom for them in the inn, Mary and Joseph had to go into that stableto sleep, and in that stable Jesus Christ was born. Mary wrapped Himin swaddling clothes,and laid Him in the manger in the place where theanimals' food was kept.On the hill where Bethlehem stands there are green places whereshepherds feed theirflocks. There are wild animals in Palestine; andall night long the shepherds of Bethlehem watched to see that no harmhappened to their sheep. One night anangel of the Lord stood by themand a bright light shown round about them. The shepherds were afraid;but the angel said, 'FEAR NOT; FOR BEHOLD, I BRINGYOU GOOD TIDINGS (ORNEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORNTHIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR,WHICH is CHRIST THE LORD.'And suddenly there was seen with the angel a number of the angels ofheaven. And they praised God, and said, 'GLORY TO GOD INTHE HIGHEST,AND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.'When the light faded, and the song ended, and the angels had gone backinto heaven, theshepherds climbed quickly over the hillside toBethlehem. And there, in the stable near the inn, they found Mary andJoseph, and the Babe lying in the manger, asthe angels had said.Jesus was the eldest son of His mother. And the eldest sons in Jewishhouses, when they were forty days old, were taken to the Temple,andgiven to God.So now, when Jesus was nearly six weeks old, He was brought fromBethlehem by Mary and Joseph to the Temple at Jerusalem.

Unknown to the world bothas an individual and as an author, I own myselfdesirous of giving apledge of spotless intention in my work, by adorning it with the name ofone whose writings force every unvitiated heart to glow with awarmerlove of virtue. On one solitary point I claim equality with you:--Inpurity of intention I yield not even to JOANNA BAILLIE.May I venture to avow anotherfeeling which has prompted this intrusion?What point so small that vanity cannot build on it a resting-place! Willyou believe that this trifle claims affinity with thePlays on thePassions?--Your portraitures of the progress and of the consequences ofpassion,--portraitures whose exquisite truth gives them the force oflivingexamples,--are powerful warnings to watch the first risings ofthe insidious rebel. No guard but one is equal to the task. Theregulation of the passions is theprovince, it is the triumph ofRELIGION. In the character of Laura Montreville the religious principleis exhibited as rejecting the bribes of ambition; bestowingfortitude inwant and sorrow; as restraining just displeasure; overcomingconstitutional timidity; conquering misplaced affection; and triumphingover the fear ofdeath and of disgrace.This little tale was begun at first merely for my own amusement. It ispublished that I may reconcile my conscience to the time which ithasemployed, by making it in some degree useful. Let not the term soimplied provoke a smile! If my book is read, its uses to the author areobvious. Nor is a workof fiction necessarily unprofitable to thereaders. When the vitiated appetite refuses its proper food, thealternative may be administered in a sweetmeat. It may beimprudent toconfess the presence of the medicine, lest the sickly palate, thuswarned, turn from it in loathing. But I rely in this instance on theworld of thephilosopher, who avers that 'young ladies never readprefaces'; and I am not without hope, that with you, and with all whoform exceptions to this rule, the avowalof a useful purpose may be aninducement to tolerate what otherwise might be thought unworthy ofregard.Perhaps in an age whose lax morality, declining theglorious toils ofvirtue, is poorly 'content to dwell in decencies for ever', emulationmay be repressed by the eminence which the character of Laura claimsover theordinary standard of the times. A virtue which, thoughessentially Christian, is certainly not very popular in this Christiancountry, may be stigmatized as romantic;a chilling term of reproach,which has blighted many a fair blossom of goodness ere it ripened intofruit. Perhaps some of my fair countrywomen, finding it difficulttotrace in the delineation of Self-Control any striking feature of theirown minds, may pronounce my picture unnatural. It might be enough toreply, that I do notascribe any of the virtues of Laura to nature, and,least of all, the one whose office is to regulate and control nature.But if my principal figure want the air, andvivacity of life, the blamelies in the painter, not in the subject. Laura is indebted to fancy forher drapery and attitudes alone. I have had the happiness ofwitnessing,in real life, a self-command operating with as much force, permanence,and uniformity, as that which is depicted in the following volumes. Toyou,Madam, I should perhaps further apologize for having left in mymodel some traces of human imperfection; while, for the generality of myreaders, I breathe afervent wish, that these pages may assist inenabling their own hearts to furnish proof that the character of Laura,however unnatural, is yet not unattainable.

Her countenance was mournful, and her step languid;forher health had suffered from long confinement, and her spirits wereexhausted by long attendance on the deathbed of her mother. That labourof duty had beenlessened by no extrinsic circumstance; for Lady HarrietMontreville was a peevish and refractory patient; her disorder had beentedious as well as hopeless; andthe humble establishment of a half-payofficer furnished no one who could lighten to Laura the burden ofconstant attendance. But Laura had in herself that whichsoftens alldifficulty, and beguiles all fatigue--an active mind, a strong sense ofduty, and the habit of meeting and of overcoming adverse circumstances.CaptainMontreville was of a family ancient and respectable, but so farfrom affluent, that, at the death of his father, he found his wealth, asa younger son, to consist onlyof £500, besides the emoluments arisingfrom a lieutenancy in a regiment of foot. Nature had given him a fineperson and a pleasing address; and to the nationalopinions of a Scotishmother, he was indebted for an education, of which the liberality suitedbetter with his birth than with his fortunes. He was inLondonnegotiating for the purchase of a company, when he accidentally met withLady Harriet Bircham. Her person was shewy, and her manners had theglare,even more than the polish of high life. She had a livelyimagination, and some wit; had read a little, and knew how to shew thatlittle to advantage. The fine personof Montreville soon awakened theonly sort of sensibility of which Lady Harriet was possessed; and herpreference was sufficiently visible in every step of itsprogress. To bedistinguished by a lady of such rank and attractions, raised inMontreville all the vanity of three-and-twenty; and, seen through thatmedium, LadyHarriet's charms were magnified to perfections. Montrevillesoon was, or fancied himself, desperately in love. He sued, and wasaccepted with a frankness, to whichsome stiff advocates for femaledecorum might give the harsh name of forwardness. Montreville was inlove, and he was pleased to call it the candour of a noblemind.As his regiment was at this time under orders for the West Indies, LadyHarriet prevailed on him to exchange to half-pay; and her fortune beingno more than£5000, economy, no less than the fondness for solitudenatural in young men in love, induced him to retire to the country withhis bride, who had reasons of herown for wishing to quit London. He hadbeen educated in Scotland, and he remembered its wild scenery with theenthusiasm of a man of taste, and a painter. Hesettled therefore in thevillage of Glenalbert, near Perth; and to relieve his conscience fromthe load of utter idleness at twenty-three, began the superintendenceofa little farm. Here the ease and vivacity of Lady Harriet made her for awhile the delight of her new acquaintance. She understood all the artsof courtesy; and,happy herself, was for a while content to practisethem. The store of anecdote, which she had accumulated in herintercourse with the great, passed with hercountry neighbours forknowledge of the world. To Scotish ears, the accent of the higher ranksof English conveys an idea of smartness, as well as of gentility;andLady Harriet became an universal favourite.Those who succeed best in amusing strangers, are not, it has beenremarked, the most pleasing in domestic life:they are not even alwaysthe most entertaining. Lady Harriet's spirits had ebbs, which commonlytook place during her tête-à -têtes with Captain Montreville.Outwardattractions, real or imaginary, are the natural food of passion: butsound principles must win confidence, and kindness of heart engageaffection. PoorMontreville soon gave a mournful assent to these truths;for Lady Harriet had no principles, and her heart was a mere 'pulsationon the left side.' Her passion forher husband soon declined; and hermore permanent appetite for admiration finding but scanty food in asolitary village, her days passed in secret discontent oropenmurmurings. The narrowness of their finances made her feel the necessityof economy, though it could not immediately instruct her in the art ofit; andMontreville, driven from domestic habits by the turmoil of ahousehold, bustling without usefulness, and parsimonious withoutfrugality, was on the point ofreturning to his profession, or ofseeking relief in such dissipation as he had the means of obtaining,when the birth of a daughter gave a new turn to all his hopesandwishes.'I should not wish the girl to be a beauty,' said he to his friend, thevillage pastor. 'A pretty face is of no use, but to blind a lover';--andhe sighed, as herecollected his own blindness. Yet he was delighted tosee that Laura grew every day more lovely. 'Wit only makes womentroublesome,' said he;--but before Laurawas old enough to shew theuncommon acuteness of her understanding, he had quite forgotten that heever applied the remark to her. To amuse her infancybecame his chosenrecreation; to instruct her youth was afterwards his favouriteemployment. Lady Harriet, too, early began to seek food for her vanityin thesuperior endowments of her child, and she forthwith determinedthat Laura should be a paragon.

The author, at that time, was young,twenty-four years of age, and his production bears the stamp of his youth withits good and its faulty features, of neither of which he feels ashamed.It wastranslated into English, in 1885, by an American lady, Mrs. F.Kelley Wischnewetzky, and published in the following year in New York.The American edition beingas good as exhausted, and having never beenextensively circulated on this side of the Atlantic, the present Englishcopyright edition is brought out with the fullconsent of all partiesinterested.For the American edition, a new Preface and an Appendix were written inEnglish by the author. The first had little to do with thebook itself;it discussed the American Working-Class Movement of the day, and is,therefore, here omitted as irrelevant, the second--the originalpreface--is largelymade use of in the present introductory remarks.The state of things described in this book belongs to-day, in manyrespects, to the past, as far as England isconcerned. Though notexpressly stated in our recognised treatises, it is still a law of modernPolitical Economy that the larger the scale on whichCapitalisticProduction is carried on, the less can it support the petty devices ofswindling and pilfering which characterise its early stages. Thepettifoggingbusiness tricks of the Polish Jew, the representative inEurope of commerce in its lowest stage, those tricks that serve him sowell in his own country, and aregenerally practised there, he finds tobe out of date and out of place when he comes to Hamburg or Berlin; and,again, the commission agent, who hails from Berlinor Hamburg, Jew orChristian, after frequenting the Manchester Exchange for a few months,finds out that, in order to buy cotton yarn or cloth cheap, he, too,hadbetter drop those slightly more refined but still miserable wiles andsubterfuges which are considered the acme of cleverness in his nativecountry. The fact is,those tricks do not pay any longer in a largemarket, where time is money, and where a certain standard of commercialmorality is unavoidably developed, purelyas a means of saving time andtrouble. And it is the same with the relation between the manufacturerand his \"hands.\"The revival of trade, after the crisis of 1847,was the dawn of a newindustrial epoch. The repeal of the Corn Laws and the financial reformssubsequent thereon gave to English industry and commerce all theelbow-room they had asked for. The discovery of the Californian and Australiangold-fields followed in rapid succession. The Colonial markets developedat anincreasing rate their capacity for absorbing English manufacturedgoods. In India millions of hand-weavers were finally crushed out by theLancashirepower-loom. China was more and more being opened up. Aboveall, the United States--then, commercially speaking, a mere colonialmarket, but by far thebiggest of them all--underwent an economicdevelopment astounding even for that rapidly progressive country. And,finally, the new means of communicationintroduced at the close of thepreceding period--railways and ocean steamers--were now worked out on aninternational scale; they realised actually, what hadhitherto existedonly potentially, a world-market. This world-market, at first, wascomposed of a number of chiefly or entirely agricultural countriesgrouped aroundone manufacturing centre--England--which consumed thegreater part of their surplus raw produce, and supplied them in returnwith the greater part of theirrequirements in manufactured articles. Nowonder England's industrial progress was colossal and unparalleled, andsuch that the status of 1844 now appears to usas comparatively primitiveand insignificant. And in proportion as this increase took place, in thesame proportion did manufacturing industry become apparentlymoralised.The competition of manufacturer against manufacturer by means of pettythefts upon the workpeople did no longer pay. Trade had outgrown suchlowmeans of making money; they were not worth while practising for themanufacturing millionaire, and served merely to keep alive thecompetition of smallertraders, thankful to pick up a penny wherever theycould. Thus the truck system was suppressed, the Ten Hours' Bill wasenacted, and a number of othersecondary reforms introduced--much againstthe spirit of Free Trade and unbridled competition, but quite as much infavour of the giant-capitalist in hiscompetition with his less favouredbrother. Moreover, the larger the concern, and with it the number ofhands, the greater the loss and inconvenience caused byevery conflictbetween master and men; and thus a new spirit came over the masters,especially the large ones, which taught them to avoidunnecessarysquabbles, to acquiesce in the existence and power of Trades' Unions, andfinally even to discover in strikes--at opportune times--a powerful meanstoserve their own ends. The largest manufacturers, formerly the leadersof the war against the working-class, were now the foremost to preachpeace andharmony. And for a very good reason. The fact is, that allthese concessions to justice and philanthropy were nothing else but meansto accelerate theconcentration of capital in the hands of the few, forwhom the niggardly extra extortions of former years had lost allimportance and had become actual nuisances;and to crush all the quickerand all the safer their smaller competitors, who could not make both endsmeet without such perquisites. Thus the development ofproduction on thebasis of the capitalistic system has of itself sufficed--at least in theleading industries, for in the more unimportant branches this is far frombeingthe case--to do away with all those minor grievances whichaggravated the workman's fate during its earlier stages. And thus itrenders more and more evidentthe great central fact, that the cause ofthe miserable condition of the working-class is to be sought, not inthese minor grievances, but _in the Capitalistic Systemitself_. Thewage-worker sells to the capitalist his labour-force for a certain dailysum. After a few hours' work he has reproduced the value of that sum;but thesubstance of his contract is, that he has to work another seriesof hours to complete his working-day; and the value he produces duringthese additional hours ofsurplus labour is surplus value, which cost thecapitalist nothing, but yet goes into his pocket. That is the basis ofthe system which tends more and more to splitup civilised society into afew Rothschilds and Vanderbilts, the owners of all the means ofproduction and subsistence, on the one hand, and an immense numberofwage-workers, the owners of nothing but their labour-force, on the other.And that this result is caused, not by this or that secondary grievance,but by thesystem itself--this fact has been brought out in bold reliefby the development of Capitalism in England since 1847.Again, the repeated visitations of cholera,typhus, smallpox, and otherepidemics have shown the British bourgeois the urgent necessity ofsanitation in his towns and cities, if he wishes to save himselfandfamily from falling victims to such diseases. Accordingly, the mostcrying abuses described in this book have either disappeared or have beenmade lessconspicuous. Drainage has been introduced or improved, wideavenues have been opened out athwart many of the worst \"slums\" I had todescribe. \"LittleIreland\" has disappeared, and the \"Seven Dials\" arenext on the list for sweeping away. But what of that? Whole districtswhich in 1844 I could describe as almostidyllic, have now, with thegrowth of the towns, fallen into the same state of dilapidation,discomfort, and misery. Only the pigs and the heaps of refuse arenolonger tolerated. The bourgeoisie have made further progress in the artof hiding the distress of the working-class. But that, in regard totheir dwellings, nosubstantial improvement has taken place, is amplyproved by the Report of the Royal Commission \"on the Housing of thePoor,\" 1885. And this is the case, too, inother respects. Policeregulations have been plentiful as blackberries; but they can only hedgein the distress of the workers, they cannot remove it.But whileEngland has thus outgrown the juvenile state of capitalistexploitation described by me, other countries have only just attained it.France, Germany, and especiallyAmerica, are the formidable competitorswho, at this moment--as foreseen by me in 1844--are more and morebreaking up England's industrial monopoly. Theirmanufactures are youngas compared with those of England, but increasing at a far more rapidrate than the latter; and, curious enough, they have at thismomentarrived at about the same phase of development as English manufacture in1844. With regard to America, the parallel is indeed most striking.True, theexternal surroundings in which the working-class is placed inAmerica are very different, but the same economical laws are at work, andthe results, if not identicalin every respect, must still be of the sameorder. Hence we find in America the same struggles for a shorter working-day, for a legal limitation of theworking-time, especially of women andchildren in factories; we find the truck-system in full blossom, and thecottage-system, in rural districts, made use of by the\"bosses\" as ameans of domination over the workers. When I received, in 1886, theAmerican papers with accounts of the great strike of 12,000Pennsylvaniancoal-miners in the Connellsville district, I seemed but to read my owndescription of the North of England colliers' strike of 1844. The samecheatingof the workpeople by false measure; the same truck-system; thesame attempt to break the miners' resistance by the capitalists' last,but crushing, resource,--theeviction of the men out of their dwellings,the cottages owned by the companies.I have not attempted, in this translation, to bring the book up to date,or to pointout in detail all the changes that have taken place since1844. And for two reasons: Firstly, to do this properly, the size of thebook must be about doubled; and,secondly, the first volume of \"DasKapital,\" by Karl Marx, an English translation of which is before thepublic, contains a very ample description of the state of the"} +{"doc_id":"doc_316","qid":"","text":"The Project Gutenberg EBook of The Old Wives' Tale, by Arnold BennettThis eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and withalmost no restrictionswhatsoever.

W. K.PREFACE TO THIS EDITIONIn the autumn of 1903 Iused to dine frequently in a restaurant in theRue de Clichy, Paris. Here were, among others, two waitresses thatattracted my attention. One was a beautiful, paleyoung girl, to whom Inever spoke, for she was employed far away from the table which Iaffected. The other, a stout, middle-aged managing Breton woman,hadsole command over my table and me, and gradually she began to assumesuch a maternal tone towards me that I saw I should be compelled toleave thatrestaurant. If I was absent for a couple of nights runningshe would reproach me sharply: \"What! you are unfaithful to me?\" Once,when I complained about someFrench beans, she informed me roundly thatFrench beans were a subject which I did not understand. I then decidedto be eternally unfaithful to her, and Iabandoned the restaurant. Afew nights before the final parting an old woman came into therestaurant to dine. She was fat, shapeless, ugly, and grotesque.Shehad a ridiculous voice, and ridiculous gestures. It was easy to seethat she lived alone, and that in the long lapse of years she haddeveloped the kind ofpeculiarity which induces guffaws among thethoughtless. She was burdened with a lot of small parcels, which shekept dropping. She chose one seat; and then,not liking it, choseanother; and then another. In a few moments she had the wholerestaurant laughing at her. That my middle-aged Breton should laughwasindifferent to me, but I was pained to see a coarse grimace of gigglingon the pale face of the beautiful young waitress to whom I had neverspoken.I reflected,concerning the grotesque diner: \"This woman was onceyoung, slim, perhaps beautiful; certainly free from these ridiculousmannerisms. Very probably she isunconscious of her singularities. Hercase is a tragedy. One ought to be able to make a heartrending novelout of the history of a woman such as she.\" Every stout,ageing womanis not grotesque--far from it!--but there is an extreme pathos in themere fact that every stout ageing woman was once a young girl with theuniquecharm of youth in her form and movements and in her mind. Andthe fact that the change from the young girl to the stout ageing womanis made up of an infinitenumber of infinitesimal changes, eachunperceived by her, only intensifies the pathos.It was at this instant that I was visited by the idea of writing thebook whichultimately became \"The Old Wives' Tale.\" Of course I feltthat the woman who caused the ignoble mirth in the restaurant would notserve me as a type of heroine.For she was much too old and obviouslyunsympathetic. It is an absolute rule that the principal character of anovel must not be unsympathetic, and the wholemodern tendency ofrealistic fiction is against oddness in a prominent figure. I knew thatI must choose the sort of woman who would pass unnoticed in a crowd.Iput the idea aside for a long time, but it was never very distantfrom me. For several reasons it made a special appeal to me. I hadalways been a convincedadmirer of Mrs. W. K. Clifford's most preciousnovel, \"Aunt Anne,\" but I wanted to see in the story of an old womanmany things that Mrs. W. K. Clifford hadomitted from \"Aunt Anne.\"Moreover, I had always revolted against the absurd youthfulness, theunfading youthfulness of the average heroine. And as a protestagainstthis fashion, I was already, in 1903, planning a novel (\"Leonora\") ofwhich the heroine was aged forty, and had daughters old enough to be inlove. Thereviewers, by the way, were staggered by my hardihood inoffering a woman of forty as a subject of serious interest to thepublic. But I meant to go much fartherthan forty! Finally as a supremereason, I had the example and the challenge of Guy de Maupassant's \"UneVie.\" In the nineties we used to regard \"Une Vie\" withmute awe, asbeing the summit of achievement in fiction. And I remember being verycross with Mr. Bernard Shaw because, having read \"Une Vie\" atthesuggestion (I think) of Mr. William Archer, he failed to see in itanything very remarkable. Here I must confess that, in 1908, I read\"Une Vie\" again, and in spiteof a natural anxiety to differ from Mr.Bernard Shaw, I was gravely disappointed with it. It is a fine novel,but decidedly inferior to \"Pierre et Jean\" or even \"FortComme laMort.\" To return to the year 1903. \"Une Vie\" relates the entire lifehistory of a woman. I settled in the privacy of my own head that mybook about thedevelopment of a young girl into a stout old lady mustbe the English \"Une Vie.\" I have been accused of every fault except alack of self-confidence, and in a fewweeks I settled a further point,namely, that my book must \"go one better\" than \"Une Vie,\" and that tothis end it must be the life-history of two women instead ofonly one.Hence, \"The Old Wives' Tale\" has two heroines. Constance was theoriginal; Sophia was created out of bravado, just to indicate that Ideclined to considerGuy de Maupassant as the last forerunner of thedeluge. I was intimidated by the audacity of my project, but I hadsworn to carry it out. For several years I lookedit squarely in theface at intervals, and then walked away to write novels of smallerscope, of which I produced five or six. But I could not dally forever,and in theautumn of 1907 I actually began to write it, in a villagenear Fontainebleau, where I rented half a house from a retired railwayservant. I calculated that it would be200,000 words long (which itexactly proved to be), and I had a vague notion that no novel of suchdimensions (except Richardson's) had ever been written before.So Icounted the words in several famous Victorian novels, and discovered tomy relief that the famous Victorian novels average 400,000 wordsapiece. I wrote thefirst part of the novel in six weeks. It was fairlyeasy to me, because, in the seventies, in the first decade of my life,I had lived in the actual draper's shop of theBaines's, and knew it asonly a child could know it. Then I went to London on a visit. I triedto continue the book in a London hotel, but London was toodistracting,and I put the thing away, and during January and February of 1908, Iwrote \"Buried Alive,\" which was published immediately, and was receivedwithmajestic indifference by the English public, an indifference whichhas persisted to this day.I then returned to the Fontainebleau region and gave \"The OldWives'Tale\" no rest till I finished it at the end of July, 1908. It waspublished in the autumn of the same year, and for six weeks afterwardthe English publicsteadily confirmed an opinion expressed by a certainperson in whose judgment I had confidence, to the effect that the workwas honest but dull, and that when itwas not dull it had a regrettabletendency to facetiousness. My publishers, though brave fellows, weresomewhat disheartened; however, the reception of the bookgraduallybecame less and less frigid.With regard to the French portion of the story, it was not until I hadwritten the first part that I saw from a study of mychronologicalbasis that the Siege of Paris might be brought into the tale. The ideawas seductive; but I hated, and still hate, the awful business ofresearch; and Ionly knew the Paris of the Twentieth Century. Now I wasaware that my railway servant and his wife had been living in Paris atthe time of the war. I said to the oldman, \"By the way, you wentthrough the Siege of Paris, didn't you?\" He turned to his old wife andsaid, uncertainly, \"The Siege of Paris? Yes, we did, didn't we?\"TheSiege of Paris had been only one incident among many in their lives. Ofcourse, they remembered it well, though not vividly, and I gained muchinformationfrom them. But the most useful thing which I gained fromthem was the perception, startling at first, that ordinary people wenton living very ordinary lives in Parisduring the siege, and that tothe vast mass of the population the siege was not the dramatic,spectacular, thrilling, ecstatic affair that is described inhistory.Encouraged by this perception, I decided to include the siege in myscheme. I read Sarcey's diary of the siege aloud to my wife, and Ilooked at the picturesin Jules Claretie's popular work on the siegeand the commune, and I glanced at the printed collection of officialdocuments, and there my research ended.It hasbeen asserted that unless I had actually been present at apublic execution, I could not have written the chapter in which Sophiawas at the Auxerre solemnity. Ihave not been present at a publicexecution, as the whole of my information about public executions wasderived from a series of articles on them which I read inthe ParisMatin. Mr. Frank Harris, discussing my book in \"Vanity Fair,\" said itwas clear that I had not seen an execution, (or words to that effect),and he proceededto give his own description of an execution. It was abrief but terribly convincing bit of writing, quite characteristic andquite worthy of the author of \"Montes theMatador\" and of a man who hasbeen almost everywhere and seen almost everything.

For, indeed, the tanner and his wifeadored Louis, their only child, and nevercontradicted him in anything.At the age of five Louis had begun by reading the Old and NewTestaments; and these two Books, including so many books, hadsealed hisfate. Could that childish imagination understand the mystical depths ofthe Scriptures? Could it so early follow the flight of the Holy Spiritacross theworlds? Or was it merely attracted by the romantic toucheswhich abound in those Oriental poems! Our narrative will answer thesequestions to some readers.Onething resulted from this first reading of the Bible: Louis went allover Montoire begging for books, and he obtained them by those winningways peculiar to children,which no one can resist. While devotinghimself to these studies under no sort of guidance, he reached the ageof ten.At that period substitutes for the army werescarce; rich familiessecured them long beforehand to have them ready when the lots weredrawn. The poor tanner's modest fortune did not allow oftheirpurchasing a substitute for their son, and they saw no means allowed bylaw for evading the conscription but that of making him a priest; so,in 1807, theysent him to his maternal uncle, the parish priest of Mer,another small town on the Loire, not far from Blois. This arrangement atonce satisfied Louis' passion forknowledge, and his parents' wish notto expose him to the dreadful chances of war; and, indeed, his taste forstudy and precocious intelligence gave grounds forhoping that he mightrise to high fortunes in the Church.After remaining for about three years with his uncle, an old and notuncultured Oratorian, Louis left himearly in 1811 to enter the collegeat Vendome, where he was maintained at the cost of Madame de Stael.Lambert owed the favor and patronage of this celebratedlady to chance,or shall we not say to Providence, who can smooth the path of forlorngenius? To us, indeed, who do not see below the surface of humanthings,such vicissitudes, of which we find many examples in the lives of greatmen, appear to be merely the result of physical phenomena; to mostbiographers thehead of a man of genius rises above the herd assome noble plant in the fields attracts the eye of a botanist inits splendor. This comparison may well be applied toLouis Lambert'sadventure; he was accustomed to spend the time allowed him by his unclefor holidays at his father's house; but instead of indulging, afterthemanner of schoolboys, in the sweets of the delightful _far niente_ thattempts us at every age, he set out every morning with part of a loafand his books, andwent to read and meditate in the woods, to escapehis mother's remonstrances, for she believed such persistent study to beinjurious. How admirable is a mother'sinstinct! From that time readingwas in Louis a sort of appetite which nothing could satisfy; he devouredbooks of every kind, feeding indiscriminately on religiousworks,history, philosophy, and physics. He has told me that he foundindescribable delight in reading dictionaries for lack of other books,and I readily believedhim. What scholar has not many a time foundpleasure in seeking the probable meaning of some unknown word? Theanalysis of a word, its physiognomy andhistory, would be to Lambertmatter for long dreaming. But these were not the instinctive dreams bywhich a boy accustoms himself to the phenomena of life,steels himselfto every moral or physical perception--an involuntary education whichsubsequently brings forth fruit both in the understanding and characterof aman; no, Louis mastered the facts, and he accounted for them afterseeking out both the principle and the end with the mother wit of asavage. Indeed, from theage of fourteen, by one of those startlingfreaks in which nature sometimes indulges, and which proved howanomalous was his temperament, he would utter quitesimply ideas ofwhich the depth was not revealed to me till a long time after.\"Often,\" he has said to me when speaking of his studies, \"often have Imade the mostdelightful voyage, floating on a word down the abyss ofthe past, like an insect embarked on a blade of grass tossing on theripples of a stream. Starting fromGreece, I would get to Rome, andtraverse the whole extent of modern ages. What a fine book mightbe written of the life and adventures of a word! It has, ofcourse,received various stamps from the occasions on which it has served itspurpose; it has conveyed different ideas in different places; but is itnot still granderto think of it under the three aspects of soul,body, and motion? Merely to regard it in the abstract, apart from itsfunctions, its effects, and its influence, is enoughto cast one intoan ocean of meditations? Are not most words colored by the idea theyrepresent? Then, to whose genius are they due? If it takes greatintelligenceto create a word, how old may human speech be? Thecombination of letters, their shapes, and the look they give to theword, are the exact reflection, inaccordance with the character of eachnation, of the unknown beings whose traces survive in us.\"Who can philosophically explain the transition from sensationtothought, from thought to word, from the word to its hieroglyphicpresentment, from hieroglyphics to the alphabet, from the alphabet towritten language, ofwhich the eloquent beauty resides in a seriesof images, classified by rhetoric, and forming, in a sense, thehieroglyphics of thought? Was it not the ancient modeof representinghuman ideas as embodied in the forms of animals that gave rise to theshapes of the first signs used in the East for writing down language?Thenhas it not left its traces by tradition on our modern languages,which have all seized some remnant of the primitive speech of nations,a majestic and solemntongue whose grandeur and solemnity decrease ascommunities grow old; whose sonorous tones ring in the Hebrew Bible,and still are noble in Greece, but growweaker under the progress ofsuccessive phases of civilization?\"Is it to this time-honored spirit that we owe the mysteries lyingburied in every human word? In theword _True_ do we not discern acertain imaginary rectitude? Does not the compact brevity of its soundsuggest a vague image of chaste nudity and the simplicityof Truth inall things? The syllable seems to me singularly crisp and fresh.\"I chose the formula of an abstract idea on purpose, not wishing toillustrate the case by aword which should make it too obvious to theapprehension, as the word _Flight_ for instance, which is a directappeal to the senses.\"But is it not so with everyroot word? They are all stamped with aliving power that comes from the soul, and which they restore to thesoul through the mysterious and wonderful action andreaction betweenthought and speech. Might we not speak of it as a lover who finds onhis mistress' lips as much love as he gives? Thus, by theirmerephysiognomy, words call to life in our brain the beings which theyserve to clothe. Like all beings, there is but one place where theirproperties are at fullliberty to act and develop. But the subjectdemands a science to itself perhaps!\"And he would shrug his shoulders as much as to say, \"But we are too highand toolow!\"Louis' passion for reading had on the whole been very well satisfied.The cure of Mer had two or three thousand volumes. This treasure hadbeen derived fromthe plunder committed during the Revolution in theneighboring chateaux and abbeys. As a priest who had taken the oath,the worthy man had been able tochoose the best books from among theseprecious libraries, which were sold by the pound. In three years LouisLambert had assimilated the contents of all thebooks in his uncle'slibrary that were worth reading. The process of absorbing ideas by meansof reading had become in him a very strange phenomenon. His eyetookin six or seven lines at once, and his mind grasped the sense with aswiftness as remarkable as that of his eye; sometimes even one word in asentence wasenough to enable him to seize the gist of the matter.His memory was prodigious. He remembered with equal exactitude the ideashe had derived from reading,and those which had occurred to him inthe course of meditation or conversation. Indeed, he had every form ofmemory--for places, for names, for words, things,and faces. He notonly recalled any object at will, but he saw them in his mind, situated,lighted, and colored as he had originally seen them. And this powerhecould exert with equal effect with regard to the most abstract effortsof the intellect. He could remember, as he said, not merely the positionof a sentence in thebook where he had met with it, but the frame ofmind he had been in at remote dates. Thus his was the singular privilegeof being able to retrace in memory thewhole life and progress of hismind, from the ideas he had first acquired to the last thought evolvedin it, from the most obscure to the clearest. His brain,accustomed inearly youth to the mysterious mechanism by which human faculties areconcentrated, drew from this rich treasury endless images full of lifeandfreshness, on which he fed his spirit during those lucid spells ofcontemplation.\"Whenever I wish it,\" said he to me in his own language, to which a fundofremembrance gave precocious originality, \"I can draw a veil overmy eyes. Then I suddenly see within me a camera obscura, where naturalobjects are reproducedin purer forms than those under which they firstappeared to my external sense.\"At the age of twelve his imagination, stimulated by the perpetualexercise of hisfaculties, had developed to a point which permitted himto have such precise concepts of things which he knew only from readingabout them, that the imagestamped on his mind could not have beenclearer if he had actually seen them, whether this was by a process ofanalogy or that he was gifted with a sort of secondsight by which hecould command all nature.\"When I read the story of the battle of Austerlitz,\" said he to me oneday, \"I saw every incident. The roar of thecannon, the cries of thefighting men rang in my ears, and made my inmost self quiver; I couldsmell the powder; I heard the clatter of horses and the voices ofmen; Ilooked down on the plain where armed nations were in collision, just asif I had been on the heights of Santon. The scene was as terrifying asa passagefrom the Apocalypse.\" On the occasions when he brought all hispowers into play, and in some degree lost consciousness of his physicalexistence, and lived on"}

The elder is Archie, a most exemplary young man. He hasjust gone into business with the merchant uncle and bids fair to beanhonor to his family. The other, with the eyeglasses and no gloves, isMac, the odd one, just out of college.\"\"And the boy?\"\"Oh, he is Jamie, the youngest brotherof Archibald, and the pet of thewhole family. Mercy on us he'll be in if they don't hold on to him!\"The ladies' chat came to a sudden end just there, for by thetimeJamie had been fished out of a hogshead, the steamer hove in sight andeverything else was forgotten. As it swung slowly around to enter thedock, a boyishvoice shouted, \"There she is! I see her and Uncle andPhebe! Hooray for Cousin Rose!\" And three small cheers were given witha will by Jamie as he stood on apost waving his arms like a windmillwhile his brother held onto the tail of his jacket.Yes, there they were Uncle Alec swinging his hat like a boy, with Phebesmilingand nodding on one side and Rose kissing both hands delightedlyon the other as she recognized familiar faces and heard familiar voiceswelcoming herhome.\"Bless her dear heart, she's bonnier than ever! Looks like a Madonnadoesn't she? with that blue cloak round her, and her bright hair flyingin the wind!\" saidCharlie excitedly as they watched the group upon thedeck with eager eyes.\"Madonnas don't wear hats like that. Rose hasn't changed much, but Phebehas. Why,she's a regular beauty!\" answered Archie, staring with all hismight at the dark-eyed young woman with the brilliant color and glossyblack braids shining in thesun.\"Dear old Uncle! Doesn't it seem good to have him back?\" was all Macsaid, but he was not looking at \"dear old uncle\" as he made the ferventremark, for hesaw only the slender blond girl nearby and stretched outhis hands to meet hers, forgetful of the green water tumbling betweenthem.During the confusion thatreigned for a moment as the steamer settled toher moorings, Rose looked down into the four faces upturned to hers andseemed to read in them something thatboth pleased and pained her. Itwas only a glance, and her own eyes were full, but through the mist ofhappy tears she received the impression that Archie wasabout the same,that Mac had decidedly improved, and that something was amiss withCharlie. There was no time for observation, however, for in a momenttheshoreward rush began, and before she could grasp her traveling bag,Jamie was clinging to her like an ecstatic young bear. She was withdifficulty released fromhis embrace to fall into the gentler onesof the elder cousins, who took advantage of the general excitement towelcome both blooming girls with affectionateimpartiality. Then thewanderers were borne ashore in a triumphal procession, while Jamiedanced rapturous jigs before them even on the gangway.Archieremained to help his uncle get the luggage through the CustomHouse, and the others escorted the damsels home. No sooner were theyshut up in a carriage,however, than a new and curious constraint seemedto fall upon the young people, for they realized, all at once, thattheir former playmates were men and womennow. Fortunately, Jamiewas quite free from this feeling of restraint and, sitting bodkinwisebetween the ladies, took all sorts of liberties with them andtheirbelongings.\"Well, my mannikin, what do you think of us?\" asked Rose, to break anawkward pause.\"You've both grown so pretty, I can't decide which I likebest. Phebe isthe biggest and brightest-looking, and I was always fond of Phebe, butsomehow you are so kind of sweet and precious, I really think I must hugyouagain,\" and the small youth did it tempestuously.\"If you love me best, I shall not mind a bit about your thinking Phebethe handsomest, because she is. Isn't she,boys?\" asked Rose, with amischievous look at the gentlemen opposite, whose faces expressed arespectful admiration which much amused her.\"I'm so dazzled bythe brilliancy and beauty that has suddenly burstupon me, I have no words to express my emotions,\" answered Charlie,gallantly dodging the dangerousquestion.\"I can't say yet, for I have not had time to look at anyone. I will now,if you don't mind.\" And, to the great amusement of the rest, Mac gravelyadjustedhis eyeglasses and took an observation.\"Well?\" said Phebe, smiling and blushing under his honest stare, yetseeming not to resent it as she did the lordly sort ofapproval whichmade her answer the glance of Charlie's audacious blue eyes with a flashof her black ones.\"I think if you were my sister, I should be very proud ofyou, becauseyour face shows what I admire more than its beauty truth and courage,Phebe,\" answered Mac with a little bow full of such genuine respectthatsurprise and pleasure brought a sudden dew to quench the fire of thegirl's eyes and soothe the sensitive pride of the girl's heart.Rose clapped her hands justas she used to do when anything delightedher, and beamed at Mac approvingly as she said: \"Now that's a criticismworth having, and we are much obliged. I wassure you'd admire my Phebewhen you knew her, but I didn't believe you would be wise enough to seeit at once, and you have gone up many pegs in myestimation, I assureyou.\"\"I was always fond of mineralogy you remember, and I've been tappinground a good deal lately, so I've learned to know precious metalswhen Isee them,\" Mac said with his shrewd smile.\"That is the latest hobby, then? Your letters have amused us immensely,for each one had a new theory orexperiment, and the latest wasalways the best. I thought Uncle would have died of laughter over thevegetarian mania it was so funny to imagine you living onbread andmilk, baked apples, and potatoes roasted in your own fire,\" continuedRose, changing the subject again.\"This old chap was the laughingstock of hisclass. They called him DonQuixote, and the way he went at windmills of all sorts was a sight tosee,\" put in Charlie, evidently feeling that Mac had been patted onthehead quite as much as was good for him.\"But in spite of that the Don got through college with all the honors.Oh, wasn't I proud when Aunt Jane wrote to usabout it and didn't sherejoice that her boy kept at the head of his class and won the medal!\"cried Rose, shaking Mac by both hands in a way that caused Charlietowish \"the old chap\" had been left behind with Dr. Alec.\"Oh, come, that's all Mother's nonsense. I began earlier than the otherfellows and liked it better, so Idon't deserve any praise. Prince isright, though. I did make a regular jack of myself, but on the wholeI'm not sure that my wild oats weren't better than some I'veseen sowed.Anyway, they didn't cost much, and I'm none the worse for them,\" saidMac placidly.\"I know what 'wild oats' means. I heard Uncle Mac say Charliewas sowing'em too fast, and I asked Mama, so she told me. And I know that he wassuspelled or expended, I don't remember which, but it was somethingbad,and Aunt Clara cried,\" added Jamie all in one breath, for he possessed afatal gift of making malapropos remarks, which caused him to be a terrorto hisfamily.\"Do you want to go on the box again?\" demanded Prince with a warningfrown.\"No, I don't.\"\"Then hold your tongue.\"\"Well, Mac needn't kick me, for I wasonly...\" began the culprit,innocently trying to make a bad matter worse.\"That will do,\" interrupted Charlie sternly, and James subsided, acrushed boy, consolinghimself with Rose's new watch for the indignitieshe suffered at the hands of the \"old fellows\" as he vengefully calledhis elders.Mac and Charlie immediately beganto talk as hard as their tongues couldwag, bringing up all sorts of pleasant subjects so successfullythat peals of laughter made passersby look after the merry loadwithsympathetic smiles.An avalanche of aunts fell upon Rose as soon as she reached home, andfor the rest of the day the old house buzzed like a beehive.Eveningfound the whole tribe collected in the drawing rooms, with the exceptionof Aunt Peace, whose place was empty now.Naturally enough, the elders settledinto one group after a while, andthe young fellows clustered about the girls like butterflies around twoattractive flowers. Dr. Alec was the central figure in oneroom and Rosein the other, for the little girl, whom they had all loved and petted,had bloomed into a woman, and two years of absence had wrought acuriouschange in the relative positions of the cousins, especially the threeelder ones, who eyed her with a mixture of boyish affection and manlyadmiration thatwas both new and pleasant.Something sweet yet spirited about her charmed them and piqued theircuriosity, for she was not quite like other girls, and ratherstartledthem now and then by some independent little speech or act which madethem look at one another with a sly smile, as if reminded that Rose was\"Uncle's"}

Historical Summary orRésumé: 233-261, endFROUDACITYPREFACE[5] Last year had well advanced towards its middle--in fact it wasalready April, 1888--before Mr. Froude's bookof travels in the WestIndies became known and generally accessible to readers in thoseColonies.My perusal of it in Grenada about the period above mentioneddisclosed,thinly draped with rhetorical flowers, the dark outlines of a scheme tothwart political aspiration in the Antilles.  That project is sought tobe realized bydeterring the home authorities from granting an electivelocal legislature, however restricted in character, to any of theColonies not yet enjoying such anadvantage. An argument based on thecomposition of the inhabitants of those Colonies is confidently reliedupon to confirm the inexorable mood of DowningStreet.[6] Over-large and ever-increasing,--so runs the argument,--the Africanelement in the population of the West Indies is, from its past historyand its actualtendencies, a standing menace to the continuance ofcivilization and religion.  An immediate catastrophe, social,political, and moral, would most assuredly bebrought about by thegranting of full elective rights to dependencies thus inhabited.Enlightened statesmanship should at once perceive the immense benefitthatwould ultimately result from such refusal of the franchise.  Thecardinal recommendation of that refusal is that it would avertdefinitively the political domination ofthe Blacks, which mustinevitably be the outcome of any concession of the modicum of right soearnestly desired.  The exclusion of the Negro vote beinginexpedient,if not impossible, the exercise of electoral powers by the Blacks mustlead to their returning candidates of their own race to the locallegislatures, andthat, too, in numbers preponderating according to themajority of the Negro electors.  The Negro legislators thus supreme inthe councils of the Colonies wouldstraightway proceed to passvindictive and retaliatory laws against their white fellow- [7]colonists.  For it is only fifty years since the White man and theBlack manstood in the reciprocal relations of master and slave.Whilst those relations subsisted, the white masters inflicted, and theblack slaves had to endure, the hideousatrocities that are inseparablefrom the system of slavery.  Since Emancipation, the enormous stridesmade in self-advancement by the ex-slaves have only hadthe effect ofprovoking a resentful uneasiness in the bosoms of the ex-masters.  Theformer bondsmen, on their side, and like their brethren of Hayti, areeaten upwith implacable, blood-thirsty rancour against their formerlords and owners.  The annals of Hayti form quite a cabinet ofpolitical and social object lessons which,in the eyes of Britishstatesmen, should be invaluable in showing the true method of dealingwith Ethiopic subjects of the Crown.  The Negro race in Hayti, inorderto obtain and to guard what it calls its freedom, has outraged everyhumane instinct and falsified every benevolent hope.  The slave-ownersthere had notbeen a whit more cruel than slave-owners in the otherislands.  But, in spite of this, how ferocious, how sanguinary, [8] howrelentless against them has thevengeance of the Blacks been in theirhour of mastery!  A century has passed away since then, and,notwithstanding that, the hatred of Whites still rankles intheirsouls, and is cherished and yielded to as a national creed and guide ofconduct.  Colonial administrators of the mighty British Empire, thelesson which Historyhas taught and yet continues to teach you in Haytias to the best mode of dealing with your Ethiopic colonists liespatent, blood-stained and terrible before you,and should be takendefinitively to heart.  But if you are willing that Civilization andReligion--in short, all the highest developments of individual andsociallife--should at once be swept away by a desolating vandalism ofAfrican birth; if you do not recoil from the blood-guiltiness thatwould stain your consciencesthrough the massacre of ourfellow-countrymen in the West Indies, on account of their race,complexion and enlightenment; finally, if you desire thosemodernHesperides to revert into primeval jungle, horrent lairs wherein theBlacks, who, but a short while before, had been ostensibly civilized,shall be revellers,as high-priests and [9] devotees, in orgies ofdevil-worship, cannibalism, and obeah--dare to give the franchise tothose West Indian Colonies, and then rue theconsequences of yourinfatuation!...Alas, if the foregoing summary of the ghastly imaginings of Mr. Froudewere true, in what a fool's paradise had the wisest andbest amongst usbeen living, moving, and having our being!  Up to the date of thesuggestion by him as above of the alleged facts and possibilities ofWest Indianlife, we had believed (even granting the correctness of hisgloomy account of the past and present positions of the two races) thatto no well-thinking West IndianWhite, whose ancestors may have,innocently or culpably, participated in the gains as well as the guiltof slavery, would the remembrance of its palmy days beotherwise thanone of regret.  We Negroes, on the other hand, after a lapse of timeextending over nearly two generations, could be indebted only toprecarioustradition or scarcely accessible documents for any knowledgewe might chance upon of the sufferings endured in these Islands of theWest by those of our racewho have gone before us.  Death, withundiscriminating hand, had gathered [10] in the human harvest ofmasters and slaves alike, according to or out of thenormal laws ofnature; while Time had been letting down on the stage of our existencedrop-scene after drop-scene of years, to the number of something likefifty,which had been curtaining off the tragic incidents of the pastfrom the peaceful activities of the present.  Being thus circumstanced,thought we, what rationalelements of mutual hatred should now continueto exist in the bosoms of the two races?With regard to the perpetual reference to Hayti, because of ouronenesswith its inhabitants in origin and complexion, as a criterion for theexact forecast of our future conduct under given circumstances, thisappeared to us,looking at actual facts, perversity gone wild in themanufacture of analogies.  The founders of the Black Republic, we hadall along understood, were not in anysense whatever equipped, as Mr.Froude assures us they were, when starting on their self-governingcareer, with the civil and intellectual advantages that hadbeentransplanted from Europe.  On the contrary, we had been taught toregard them as most unfortunate in the circumstances under which [11]they so gloriouslyconquered their merited freedom.  We saw them free,but perfectly illiterate barbarians, impotent to use the intellectualresources of which their valour had madethem possessors, in the shapeof books on the spirit and technical details of a highly developednational existence.  We had learnt also, until this new interpreterofhistory had contradicted the accepted record, that the continuedfailure of Hayti to realize the dreams of Toussaint was due to thefatal want of confidencesubsisting between the fairer and darkersections of the inhabitants, which had its sinister and disastrousorigin in the action of the Mulattoes in attempting tosecure freedomfor themselves, in conjunction with the Whites, at the sacrifice oftheir darker-hued kinsmen.  Finally, it had been explained to us thattheremembrance of this abnormal treason had been underlying andperniciously influencing the whole course of Haytian national history.All this establishedknowledge we are called upon to throw overboard,and accept the baseless assertions of this conjuror-up of inconceivablefables!  He calls upon us to believe that,in spite of being free,educated, progressive, and at peace with [12] all men, we West IndianBlacks, were we ever to become constitutionally dominant in ournativeislands, would emulate in savagery our Haytian fellow-Blacks who, atthe time of retaliating upon their actual masters, were torturedslaves, bleeding andrendered desperate under the oppressors' lash--andall this simply and merely because of the sameness of our ancestry andthe colour of our skin!  One wouldhave thought that Liberia would havebeen a fitter standard of comparison in respect of a colouredpopulation starting a national life, really and truly equipped withtherequisites and essentials of civilized existence.  But such a referencewould have been fatal to Mr. Froude's object: the annals of Liberiabeing a persistentrefutation of the old pro-slavery prophecies whichour author so feelingly rehearses.Let us revert, however, to Grenada and the newly-published \"Bow ofUlysses,\"which had come into my hands in April, 1888.It seemed to me, on reading that book, and deducing therefrom theforegoing essential summary, that a critic wouldhave little more todo, in order to effectually exorcise this negrophobic politicalhobgoblin, than to appeal to [13] impartial history, as well as tocommon sense, inits application to human nature in general, and to theactual facts of West Indian life in particular.History, as against the hard and fast White-master andBlack-slavetheory so recklessly invented and confidently built upon by Mr. Froude,would show incontestably--(a) that for upwards of two hundred yearsbefore theNegro Emancipation, in 1838, there had never existed in oneof those then British Colonies, which had been originally discoveredand settled for Spain by the greatColumbus or by his successors, theConquistadores, any prohibition whatsoever, on the ground of race orcolour, against the owning of slaves by any free personpossessing thenecessary means, and desirous of doing so; (b) that, as a consequenceof this non-restriction, and from causes notoriously historical,numbers ofblacks, half-breeds, and other non-Europeans, besides suchof them as had become possessed of their \"property\" by inheritance,availed themselves of this virtuallicense, and in course of timeconstituted a very considerable proportion of the slave-holding sectionof those communities; (c) that these [14] duskyplantation-ownersenjoyed and used in every possible sense the identical rights andprivileges which were enjoyed and used by their pure-blooded"}

Onnumerous obscure points of psychiatry, criminal law, politics, andsociology, you have poured a veritable flood of light, which thosealone have notperceived who obdurately close their eyes, or who aretoo short-sighted to derive benefit from any enlightenment whatsoever.__But there is a vast and importantdomain into which neither you noryour disciples have hitherto borne the torch of your method--the domainof art and literature.__Degenerates are not alwayscriminals, prostitutes, anarchists, andpronounced lunatics; they are often authors and artists. These,however, manifest the same mental characteristics, and forthe mostpart the same somatic features, as the members of the above-mentionedanthropological family, who satisfy their unhealthy impulses with theknife of theassassin or the bomb of the dynamiter, instead of with penand pencil.__Some among these degenerates in literature, music, and painting havein recent yearscome into extraordinary prominence, and are revered bynumerous admirers as creators of a new art, and heralds of the comingcenturies.__This phenomenon isnot to be disregarded. Books and works of artexercise a powerful suggestion on the masses. It is from theseproductions that an age derives its ideals of moralityand beauty. Ifthey are absurd and anti-social, they exert a disturbing and corruptinginfluence on the views of a whole generation. Hence the latter,especially theimpressionable youth, easily excited to enthusiasm forall that is strange and seemingly new, must be warned and enlightenedas to the real nature of the creationsso blindly admired. This warningthe ordinary critic does not give. Exclusively literary and æstheticculture is, moreover, the worst preparation conceivable for atrueknowledge of the pathological character of the works of degenerates.The verbose rhetorician exposes with more or less grace, or cleverness,the subjectiveimpressions received from the works he criticises,but is incapable of judging if these works are the productions ofa shattered brain, and also the nature of themental disturbanceexpressing itself by them.__Now I have undertaken the work of investigating (as much as possibleafter your method), the tendencies of thefashions in art andliterature; of proving that they have their source in the degeneracyof their authors, and that the enthusiasm of their admirers isformanifestations of more or less pronounced moral insanity, imbecility,and dementia.__Thus, this book is an attempt at a really scientific criticism, whichdoesnot base its judgment of a book upon the purely accidental,capricious and variable emotions it awakens--emotions depending onthe temperament and mood ofthe individual reader--but upon thepsycho-physiological elements from which it sprang. At the same time itventures to fill a void still existing in your powerfulsystem.__I have no doubt as to the consequences to myself of my initiative.There is at the present day no danger in attacking the Church, forit no longer has thestake at its disposal. To write against rulersand governments is likewise nothing venturesome, for at the worstnothing more than imprisonment could follow, withcompensating gloryof martyrdom. But grievous is the fate of him who has the audacity tocharacterize æsthetic fashions as forms of mental decay. The authororartist attacked never pardons a man for recognising in him a lunaticor a charlatan; the subjectively garrulous critics are furious when itis pointed out howshallow and incompetent they are, or how cowardlyin swimming with the stream; and even the public is angered whenforced to see that it has been running afterfools, quack dentists,and mountebanks, as so many prophets.

Experience has long shown that an idea usually derivesits designation from the language of the nation which first formedit. This, indeed, is a lawof constant application when historians ofmanners and customs inquire into language, for the purpose of obtainingsome notion, through the origins of someverbal root, respecting thehome of the earliest inventions and the line of evolution in differenthuman races. _Fin-de-siècle_ is French, for it was in France thatthemental state so entitled was first consciously realized. The word hasflown from one hemisphere to the other, and found its way into allcivilized languages. Aproof this that the need of it existed. The_fin-de-siècle_ state of mind is to-day everywhere to be met with;nevertheless, it is in many cases a mere imitation ofa foreign fashiongaining vogue, and not an organic evolution. It is in the land of itsbirth that it appears in its most genuine form, and Paris is the rightplace inwhich to observe its manifold expressions.No proof is needed of the extreme silliness of the term. Only thebrain of a child or of a savage could form the clumsyidea that thecentury is a kind of living being, born like a beast or a man, passingthrough all the stages of existence, gradually ageing and decliningafter bloomingchildhood, joyous youth, and vigorous maturity, to diewith the expiration of the hundredth year, after being afflicted inits last decade with all the infirmities ofmournful senility. Sucha childish anthropomorphism or zoomorphism never stops to considerthat the arbitrary division of time, rolling ever continuously along,isnot identical amongst all civilized beings, and that while thisnineteenth century of Christendom is held to be a creature reeling toits death presumptively in direexhaustion, the fourteenth century ofthe Mahommedan world is tripping along in the baby-shoes of its firstdecade, and the fifteenth century of the Jews strides"}

The girl in its path stoodfrozen, her face probably stiffwith fright under her mask. For once myreflexes weren't shy. I took a fast step toward her, grabbed her elbow,yanked her back. Her black skirt swirled out.Thebig coupe shot by, its turbine humming. I glimpsed three faces.Something ripped. I felt the hot exhaust on my ankles as the bigcoupe swerved back into thestreet. A thick cloud like a black flowerblossomed from its jouncing rear end, while from the fishhooks flew ablack shimmering rag.\"Did they get you?\" I asked thegirl.She had twisted around to look where the side of her skirt was tornaway. She was wearing nylon tights.\"The hooks didn't touch me,\" she said shakily. \"Iguess I'm lucky.\"I heard voices around us:\"Those kids! What'll they think up next?\"\"They're a menace. They ought to be arrested.\"Sirens screamed at a risingpitch as two motor-police, theirrocket-assist jets full on, came whizzing toward us after the coupe.But the black flower had become a thick fog obscuring thewhole street.The motor-police switched from rocket assists to rocket brakes andswerved to a stop near the smoke cloud.\"Are you English?\" the girl asked me.\"You have an English accent.\"Her voice came shudderingly from behind the sleek black satin mask.I fancied her teeth must be chattering. Eyes that were perhapsbluesearched my face from behind the black gauze covering the eyeholes ofthe mask. I told her she'd guessed right. She stood close to me. \"Willyou come to myplace tonight?\" she asked rapidly. \"I can't thank younow. And there's something you can help me about.\"My arm, still lightly circling her waist, felt her bodytrembling. Iwas answering the plea in that as much as in her voice when I said,\"Certainly.\" She gave me an address south of Inferno, an apartmentnumber and atime. She asked me my name and I told her.\"Hey, you!\"I turned obediently to the policeman's shout. He shooed away the smallclucking crowd of masked womenand barefaced men. Coughing from thesmoke that the black coupe had thrown out, he asked for my papers. Ihanded him the essentialones.       *       *       *       *       *He looked at them and then at me. \"British Barter? How long will you bein New York?\"Suppressing the urge to say, \"For asshort a time as possible,\" I toldhim I'd be here for a week or so.\"May need you as a witness,\" he explained. \"Those kids can't use smokeon us. When they do that,we pull them in.\"He seemed to think the smoke was the bad thing. \"They tried to kill thelady,\" I pointed out.He shook his head wisely. \"They always pretendthey're going to, butactually they just want to snag skirts. I've picked up rippers withas many as fifty skirt-snags tacked up in their rooms. Of course,sometimesthey come a little too close.\"I explained that if I hadn't yanked her out of the way, she'd have beenhit by more than hooks. But he interrupted, \"If she'd thought itwas areal murder attempt, she'd have stayed here.\"I looked around. It was true. She was gone.\"She was fearfully frightened,\" I told him.\"Who wouldn't be?Those kids would have scared old Stalin himself.\"\"I mean frightened of more than 'kids.' They didn't look like 'kids.'\"\"What did they look like?\"I tried without muchsuccess to describe the three faces. A vagueimpression of viciousness and effeminacy doesn't mean much.\"Well, I could be wrong,\" he said finally. \"Do you knowthe girl? Whereshe lives?\"\"No,\" I half lied.The other policeman hung up his radiophone and ambled toward us,kicking at the tendrils of dissipating smoke. Theblack cloud no longerhid the dingy facades with their five-year-old radiation flash-burns,and I could begin to make out the distant stump of the EmpireStateBuilding, thrusting up out of Inferno like a mangled finger.\"They haven't been picked up so far,\" the approaching policemangrumbled. \"Left smoke for fiveblocks, from what Ryan says.\"The first policeman shook his head. \"That's bad,\" he observed solemnly.I was feeling a bit uneasy and ashamed. An Englishmanshouldn't lie, atleast not on impulse.\"They sound like nasty customers,\" the first policeman continued in thesame grim tone. \"We'll need witnesses. Looks as if youmay have to stayin New York longer than you expect.\"I got the point. I said, \"I forgot to show you all my papers,\" andhanded him a few others, making surethere was a five dollar bill inamong them.       *       *       *       *       *When he handed them back a bit later, his voice was no longer ominous.My feelings ofguilt vanished. To cement our relationship, I chattedwith the two of them about their job.\"I suppose the masks give you some trouble,\" I observed. \"OverinEngland we've been reading about your new crop of masked femalebandits.\"\"Those things get exaggerated,\" the first policeman assured me. \"It'sthe menmasking as women that really mix us up. But, brother, when wenab them, we jump on them with both feet.\"\"And you get so you can spot women almost as wellas if they had nakedfaces,\" the second policeman volunteered. \"You know, hands and allthat.\"\"Especially all that,\" the first agreed with a chuckle. \"Say, is ittruethat some girls don't mask over in England?\"\"A number of them have picked up the fashion,\" I told him. \"Only a few,though--the ones who always adopt thelatest style, however extreme.\"\"They're usually masked in the British newscasts.\"\"I imagine it's arranged that way out of deference to American taste,\"Iconfessed. \"Actually, not very many do mask.\"The second policeman considered that. \"Girls going down the street barefrom the neck up.\" It was not clearwhether he viewed the prospect withrelish or moral distaste. Likely both.\"A few members keep trying to persuade Parliament to enact a lawforbidding allmasking,\" I continued, talking perhaps a bit too much.The second policeman shook his head. \"What an idea. You know, masks area pretty good thing, brother.Couple of years more and I'm going tomake my wife wear hers around the house.\"The first policeman shrugged. \"If women were to stop wearing masks, insixweeks you wouldn't know the difference. You get used to anything,if enough people do or don't do it.\"I agreed, rather regretfully, and left them. I turned north onBroadway(old Tenth Avenue, I believe) and walked rapidly until I was beyondInferno. Passing such an area of undecontaminated radioactivity alwaysmakes aperson queasy. I thanked God there weren't any such in England,as yet.The street was almost empty, though I was accosted by a couple ofbeggars with facestunneled by H-bomb scars, whether real or of makeupputty, I couldn't tell. A fat woman held out a baby with webbed fingersand toes. I told myself it would havebeen deformed anyway and that shewas only capitalizing on our fear of bomb-induced mutations. Still,I gave her a seven-and-a-half-cent piece. Her mask mademe feel I waspaying tribute to an African fetish.\"May all your children be blessed with one head and two eyes, sir.\"\"Thanks,\" I said, shuddering, and hurried pasther.\"... There's only trash behind the mask, so turn your head, stick toyour task: Stay away, stay away--from--the--girls!\"       *       *       *       *       *This lastwas the end of an anti-sex song being sung by somereligionists half a block from the circle-and-cross insignia of afemalist temple. They reminded me only faintlyof our small tribeof British monastics. Above their heads was a jumble of billboardsadvertising predigested foods, wrestling instruction, radio handies andthe like.Istared at the hysterical slogans with disagreeable fascination. Sincethe female face and form have been banned on American signs, the veryletters of theadvertiser's alphabet have begun to crawl with sex--thefat-bellied, big-breasted capital B, the lascivious double O. However,I reminded myself, it is chiefly themask that so strangely accents sexin America.A British anthropologist has pointed out, that, while it took morethan 5,000 years to shift the chief point of sexualinterest from thehips to the breasts, the next transition to the face has taken lessthan 50 years. Comparing the American style with Moslem tradition isnot valid;Moslem women are compelled to wear veils, the purpose ofwhich is concealment, while American women have only the compulsion offashion and use masks tocreate mystery.Theory aside, the actual origins of the trend are to be found inthe anti-radiation clothing of World War III, which led to maskedwrestling, now afantastically popular sport, and that in turn led tothe current female fashion. Only a wild style at first, masks quicklybecame as necessary as brassieres andlipsticks had been earlier in thecentury.I finally realized that I was not speculating about masks in general,but about what lay behind one in particular. That's thedevil of thethings; you're never sure whether a girl is heightening lovelinessor hiding ugliness. I pictured a cool, pretty face in which fearshowed only in widenedeyes. Then I remembered her blonde hair, richagainst the blackness of the satin mask. She'd told me to come at thetwenty-second hour--ten p.m.I climbed to myapartment near the British Consulate; the elevatorshaft had been shoved out of plumb by an old blast, a nuisance in thesetall New York buildings. Before itoccurred to me that I would begoing out again, I automatically tore a tab from the film strip undermy shirt. I developed it just to be sure. It showed that thetotalradiation I'd taken that day was still within the safety limit. I'mnot phobic about it, as so many people are these days, but there's nopoint in taking chances.Iflopped down on the day bed and stared at the silent speaker and thedark screen of the video set. As always, they made me think, somewhatbitterly, of the twogreat nations of the world. Mutilated by eachother, yet still strong, they were crippled giants poisoning the planetwith their dreams of an impossible equality andan impossible success.I fretfully switched on the speaker. By luck, the newscaster wastalking excitedly of the prospects of a bumper wheat crop, sown byplanesacross a dust bowl moistened by seeded rains. I listenedcarefully to the rest of the program (it was remarkably clear ofRussian telejamming) but there was no"}

It is cultured, leisured Europe before the war. When theplay was begun nota shot had been fired; and only the professionaldiplomatists and the very few amateurs whose hobby is foreign policyeven knew that the guns were loaded. ARussian playwright, Tchekov, hadproduced four fascinating dramatic studies of Heartbreak House, ofwhich three, The Cherry Orchard, Uncle Vanya, and TheSeagull, had beenperformed in England. Tolstoy, in his Fruits of Enlightenment, had shownus through it in his most ferociously contemptuous manner. Tolstoydidnot waste any sympathy on it: it was to him the house in which Europewas stifling its soul; and he knew that our utter enervation andfutilization in thatoverheated drawingroom atmosphere was deliveringthe world over to the control of ignorant and soulless cunning andenergy, with the frightful consequenceswhich have now overtakenit. Tolstoy was no pessimist: he was not disposed to leave the housestanding if he could bring it down about the ears of its prettyandamiable voluptuaries; and he wielded the pickaxe with a will. He treatedthe case of the inmates as one of opium poisoning, to be dealt with byseizing thepatients roughly and exercising them violently until theywere broad awake. Tchekov, more of a fatalist, had no faith in thesecharming people extricatingthemselves. They would, he thought, be soldup and sent adrift by the bailiffs; and he therefore had no scruple inexploiting and even flattering their charm.TheInhabitantsTchekov's plays, being less lucrative than swings and roundabouts,got no further in England, where theatres are only ordinary commercialaffairs, thana couple of performances by the Stage Society. We staredand said, \"How Russian!\" They did not strike me in that way. Justas Ibsen's intensely Norwegian playsexactly fitted every middle andprofessional class suburb in Europe, these intensely Russian playsfitted all the country houses in Europe in which the pleasures ofmusic,art, literature, and the theatre had supplanted hunting, shooting,fishing, flirting, eating, and drinking. The same nice people, the sameutter futility. Thenice people could read; some of them couldwrite; and they were the sole repositories of culture who had socialopportunities of contact with our politicians,administrators, andnewspaper proprietors, or any chance of sharing or influencing theiractivities. But they shrank from that contact. They hated politics. Theydidnot wish to realize Utopia for the common people: they wished torealize their favorite fictions and poems in their own lives; and, whenthey could, they livedwithout scruple on incomes which they did nothingto earn. The women in their girlhood made themselves look like varietytheatre stars, and settled down laterinto the types of beauty imaginedby the previous generation of painters. They took the only part of oursociety in which there was leisure for high culture, andmade it aneconomic, political and; as far as practicable, a moral vacuum; and asNature, abhorring the vacuum, immediately filled it up with sex and withall sortsof refined pleasures, it was a very delightful place at itsbest for moments of relaxation. In other moments it was disastrous. Forprime ministers and their like, itwas a veritable Capua.Horseback HallBut where were our front benchers to nest if not here? The alternativeto Heartbreak House was Horseback Hall, consisting ofa prison forhorses with an annex for the ladies and gentlemen who rode them, huntedthem, talked about them, bought them and sold them, and gavenine-tenthsof their lives to them, dividing the other tenth between charity,churchgoing (as a substitute for religion), and conservativeelectioneering (as asubstitute for politics). It is true that the twoestablishments got mixed at the edges. Exiles from the library, themusic room, and the picture gallery would befound languishing among thestables, miserably discontented; and hardy horsewomen who slept at thefirst chord of Schumann were born, horribly misplaced, intothe gardenof Klingsor; but sometimes one came upon horsebreakers and heartbreakerswho could make the best of both worlds. As a rule, however, the twowereapart and knew little of one another; so the prime minister folk hadto choose between barbarism and Capua. And of the two atmospheres it ishard to saywhich was the more fatal to statesmanship.Revolution on the ShelfHeartbreak House was quite familiar with revolutionary ideas on paper.It aimed at beingadvanced and freethinking, and hardly ever went tochurch or kept the Sabbath except by a little extra fun at weekends.When you spent a Friday to Tuesday in ityou found on the shelf in yourbedroom not only the books of poets and novelists, but of revolutionarybiologists and even economists. Without at least a few playsby myselfand Mr Granville Barker, and a few stories by Mr H. G. Wells, Mr ArnoldBennett, and Mr John Galsworthy, the house would have been out ofthemovement. You would find Blake among the poets, and beside him Bergson,Butler, Scott Haldane, the poems of Meredith and Thomas Hardy, and,generallyspeaking, all the literary implements for forming the mind ofthe perfect modern Socialist and Creative Evolutionist. It was a curiousexperience to spend Sunday indipping into these books, and the Mondaymorning to read in the daily paper that the country had just beenbrought to the verge of anarchy because a new HomeSecretary or chief ofpolice without an idea in his head that his great-grandmother mightnot have had to apologize for, had refused to \"recognize\" somepowerfulTrade Union, just as a gondola might refuse to recognize a 20,000-tonliner.In short, power and culture were in separate compartments. Thebarbarianswere not only literally in the saddle, but on the frontbench in the House of commons, with nobody to correct their incredibleignorance of modern thought andpolitical science but upstarts fromthe counting-house, who had spent their lives furnishing their pocketsinstead of their minds. Both, however, were practised indealing withmoney and with men, as far as acquiring the one and exploiting the otherwent; and although this is as undesirable an expertness as that ofthemedieval robber baron, it qualifies men to keep an estate or a businessgoing in its old routine without necessarily understanding it, just asBond Streettradesmen and domestic servants keep fashionable societygoing without any instruction in sociology.The Cherry OrchardThe Heartbreak people neither could norwould do anything of the sort.With their heads as full of the Anticipations of Mr H. G. Wells asthe heads of our actual rulers were empty even of the anticipationsofErasmus or Sir Thomas More, they refused the drudgery of politics, andwould have made a very poor job of it if they had changed their minds.Not that theywould have been allowed to meddle anyhow, as only throughthe accident of being a hereditary peer can anyone in these days ofVotes for Everybody get intoparliament if handicapped by a seriousmodern cultural equipment; but if they had, their habit of living in avacuum would have left them helpless end ineffective inpublicaffairs. Even in private life they were often helpless wasters of theirinheritance, like the people in Tchekov's Cherry Orchard. Even those wholived withintheir incomes were really kept going by their solicitorsand agents, being unable to manage an estate or run a business withoutcontinual prompting from thosewho have to learn how to do such thingsor starve.From what is called Democracy no corrective to this state of thingscould be hoped. It is said that every peoplehas the Governmentit deserves. It is more to the point that every Government has theelectorate it deserves; for the orators of the front bench can edifyordebauch an ignorant electorate at will. Thus our democracy moves in avicious circle of reciprocal worthiness and unworthiness.Nature's Long CreditsNature'sway of dealing with unhealthy conditions is unfortunately notone that compels us to conduct a solvent hygiene on a cash basis. Shedemoralizes us with longcredits and reckless overdrafts, and then pullsus up cruelly with catastrophic bankruptcies. Take, for example, commondomestic sanitation. A whole citygeneration may neglect it utterlyand scandalously, if not with absolute impunity, yet without any evilconsequences that anyone thinks of tracing to it. In ahospital twogenerations of medical students way tolerate dirt and carelessness, andthen go out into general practice to spread the doctrine that freshair is a fad,and sanitation an imposture set up to make profits forplumbers. Then suddenly Nature takes her revenge. She strikes at thecity with a pestilence and at thehospital with an epidemic of hospitalgangrene, slaughtering right and left until the innocent young have paidfor the guilty old, and the account is balanced. Andthen she goes tosleep again and gives another period of credit, with the same result.This is what has just happened in our political hygiene. Politicalscience hasbeen as recklessly neglected by Governments and electoratesduring my lifetime as sanitary science was in the days of Charles theSecond. In internationalrelations diplomacy has been a boyishly lawlessaffair of family intrigues, commercial and territorial brigandage,torpors of pseudo-goodnature produced bylaziness and spasms offerocious activity produced by terror. But in these islands we muddledthrough. Nature gave us a longer credit than she gave to FranceorGermany or Russia. To British centenarians who died in their beds in1914, any dread of having to hide underground in London from theshells of an enemyseemed more remote and fantastic than a dread of theappearance of a colony of cobras and rattlesnakes in Kensington Gardens.In the prophetic works of CharlesDickens we were warned againstmany evils which have since come to pass; but of the evil of beingslaughtered by a foreign foe on our own doorsteps there wasno shadow.Nature gave us a very long credit; and we abused it to the utmost. Butwhen she struck at last she struck with a vengeance. For four yearsshe smoteour firstborn and heaped on us plagues of which Egypt neverdreamed. They were all as preventable as the great Plague of London, andcame solely because theyhad not been prevented. They were not undone bywinning the war. The earth is still bursting with the dead bodies of thevictors.The Wicked Half CenturyIt isdifficult to say whether indifference and neglect are worse thanfalse doctrine; but Heartbreak House and Horseback Hall unfortunatelysuffered from both.

After the brief interval of twilight thenight fellcalm and dark, and in its gloomy bosom the last sounds of a sleepyworld died gently away. The traveller went forward on his way,hastening his step asnight came on; the path he followed was narrowand worn by the constant tread of men and beasts, and led gently up ahill on whose verdant slopes grewpicturesque clumps of wild cherrytrees, beeches and oaks.--The reader perceives that we are in the northof Spain.Our traveller was a man of middle age, stronglybuilt, tall andbroad-shouldered; his movements were brisk and resolute, his stepfirm, his manner somewhat rugged, his eye bold and bright; his pacewas nimble,considering that he was decidedly stout, and he was--thereader may at once be told, though somewhat prematurely--as good asoul as you may meet withanywhere. He was dressed, as a man in easycircumstances should be dressed for a journey in spring weather, withone of those round shady hats, which, fromtheir ugly shape, have beennicknamed mushrooms (_hongo_), a pair of field-glasses hanging to astrap, and a knotted stick which, when he did not use it tosupport hissteps, served to push aside the brambles when they flung their thornybranches across so as to catch his dress.He presently stopped, and gazing roundthe dim horizon, he seemed vexedand puzzled. He evidently was not sure of his way and was lookinground for some passing native of the district who might givehim suchtopographical information as might enable him to reach his destination.\"I cannot be mistaken,\" he said to himself. \"They told me to cross theriver by thestepping-stones--and I did so--then to walk on, straighton. And there, to my right, I do in fact, see that detestable townwhich I should call _Villafangosa_ byreason of the enormous amount ofmud that chokes the streets.--Well then, I can but go 'on, straighton'--I rather like the phrase, and if I bore arms, I wouldadopt itfor my motto--in order to find myself at last at the famous mines ofSocartes.\"But before he had gone much farther, he added: \"I have lost myway,beyond a doubt I have lost my way.--This, Teodoro Golfin, is theresult of your 'on, straight on.' Bah! these blockheads do not knowthe meaning of words;either they meant to laugh at you or elsethey did not know the way to the mines of Socartes. A huge miningestablishment must be evident to the senses, with itsbuildings andchimneys, its noise of hammers and snorting of furnaces, neighing ofhorses and clattering of machinery--and I neither see, nor hear, norsmellanything. I might be in a desert! How absolutely solitary! If Ibelieved in witches, I could fancy that Fate intended me this night tohave the honor of makingacquaintance with some. Deuce take it! why isthere no one to be seen in these parts? And it will be half an houryet before the moon rises. Ah! treacherous Luna,it is you who are toblame for my misadventure.--If only I could see what sort of place Iam in.--However, what could I expect?\" and he shrugged his shoulderswiththe air of a vigorous man who scorns danger. \"What, Golfin, afterhaving wandered all round the world are you going to give in now? Thepeasants were right afterall: 'on, straight on.' The universal law oflocomotion cannot fail me here.\"And he bravely set out to test the law, and went on about a kilometrefarther, followingthe paths which seemed to start from under his feet,crossing each other and breaking off at a short distance, in a thousandangles which puzzled and tired him.Stout as his resolution was, atlast he grew weary of his vain efforts. The paths, which had at firstall led upwards, began to slope downwards as they crossed eachother,and at last he came to so steep a slope that he could only hope to getto the bottom by rolling down it.\"A pretty state of things!\" he exclaimed, trying toconsole himself forthis provoking situation by his sense of the ridiculous. \"Where haveyou got to now my friend? This is a perfect abyss. Is anything to beseen atthe bottom. No, nothing, absolutely nothing--the hill-side hasdisappeared, the earth has been dug away. There is nothing to be seenbut stones and barren soiltinged red with iron. I have reached themines, no doubt of that--and yet there is not a living soul to be seen,no smoky chimneys; no noise, not a train in thedistance, not even adog barking. What am I to do? Out there the path seems to slope upagain.--Shall I follow that? Shall I leave the beaten track? Shall I gobackagain? Oh! this is absurd! Either I am not myself or I will reachSocartes to-night, and be welcomed by my worthy brother! 'On, straighton.'\"He took a step, andhis foot sank in the soft and crumbling soil.\"What next, ye ruling stars? Am I to be swallowed up alive? If onlythat lazy moon would favor us with a little light wemight see eachother's faces--and, upon my soul, I can hardly expect to find Paradiseat the bottom of this hole. It seems to be the crater of someextinctvolcano.... Nothing could be easier than a slide down this beautifulprecipice. What have we here?... A stone; capital--a good seat while Ismoke a cigar andwait for the moon to rise.\"The philosophical Golfin seated himself as calmly as if it were abench by a promenade, and was preparing for his smoke, when he heardavoice--yes, beyond a doubt, a human voice, at some little distance--aplaintive air, or to speak more accurately, a melancholy chant of asingle phrase, of whichthe last cadence was prolonged into a \"dyingfall,\" and which at last sank into the silence of the night, so softlythat the ear could not detect when itceased.\"Come,\" said the listener, well pleased, \"there are some human beingsabout. That was a girl's voice; yes, certainly a girl's, and a lovelyvoice too. I like thepopular airs of this country-side. Now it hasstopped.... Hark! it will soon begin again.... Yes, I hear it oncemore. What a beautiful voice, and what a pathetic air!You mightbelieve that it rose from the bowels of the earth, and that SeñorGolfin, the most matter-of-fact and least superstitious man in thisworld, was going tomake acquaintance with sylphs, nymphs, gnomes,dryads, and all the rabble rout that obey the mysterious spirit of theplace.--But, if I am not mistaken, the voiceis going farther away--thefair singer is departing.... Hi, girl, child, stop--wait a minute!...\"The voice which had for a few minutes so charmed the lost wandererwithits enchanting strains was dying away in the dark void, and at theshouts of Golfin it was suddenly silent. Beyond a doubt the mysteriousgnome, who wassolacing its underground loneliness by singing itsplaintive loves, had taken fright at this rough interruption by a humanbeing, and fled to the deepest caverns ofthe earth, where preciousgems lay hidden, jealous of their own splendor.\"This is a pleasant state of things--\" muttered Golfin, thinking thatafter all he could do nobetter than light his cigar.--\"There seems noreason why it should not go on for a hundred years. I can smoke andwait. It was a clever idea of mine that I couldwalk up alone to themines of Socartes. My luggage will have got there before me--a signalproof of the advantages of 'on, straight on.'\"A light breeze at thisinstant sprang up, and Golfin fancied heheard the sound of footsteps at the bottom of the unknown--orimaginary--abyss before him; he listened sharply, and in aminute feltquite certain that some one was walking below. He stood up and shouted:\"Girl, man, or whoever you are, can I get to the mines of Socartes bythisroad?\"He had not done speaking when he heard a dog barking wildly, and then amanly voice saying: \"Choto, Choto! come here!\"\"Hi there!\" cried the traveller.\"My good friend--man, boy, demon, orwhatever you are, call back your dog, for I am a man of peace.\"\"Choto, Choto!...\"Golfin could make out the form of a large,black dog coming towardshim, but after sniffing round him it retired at its master's call;and at that moment the traveller could distinguish a figure, a"}

NEW YORK    1909    FOR ALL LITTLE FRIENDS    OF    MR. MCGREGOR & PETER &BENJAMIN[Illustration]It is said that the effect of eating too much lettuce is \"soporific.\"_I_ have never felt sleepy after eating lettuces; but then _I_ am notarabbit.They certainly had a very soporific effect upon the Flopsy Bunnies!When Benjamin Bunny grew up, he married his Cousin Flopsy. They had alarge family,and they were very improvident and cheerful.I do not remember the separate names of their children; they weregenerally called the \"FlopsyBunnies.\"[Illustration][Illustration]As there was not always quite enough to eat,--Benjamin used to borrowcabbages from Flopsy's brother, Peter Rabbit, who kepta nursery garden.Sometimes Peter Rabbit had no cabbages to spare.[Illustration][Illustration]When this happened, the Flopsy Bunnies went across the field to arubbishheap, in the ditch outside Mr. McGregor's garden.Mr. McGregor's rubbish heap was a mixture. There were jam pots and paperbags, and mountains ofchopped grass from the mowing machine (which alwaystasted oily), and some rotten vegetable marrows and an old boot or two.One day--oh joy!--there were aquantity of overgrown lettuces, which had\"shot\" into flower.[Illustration]The Flopsy Bunnies simply stuffed lettuces. By degrees, one after another,they wereovercome with slumber, and lay down in the mown grass.Benjamin was not so much overcome as his children. Before going to sleephe was sufficiently wideawake to put a paper bag over his head to keepoff the flies.The little Flopsy Bunnies slept delightfully in the warm sun. From thelawn beyond the garden came thedistant clacketty sound of the mowingmachine. The bluebottles buzzed about the wall, and a little old mousepicked over the rubbish among the jam pots.(I cantell you her name, she was called Thomasina Tittlemouse, awoodmouse with a long tail.)[Illustration][Illustration]She rustled across the paper bag, andawakened Benjamin Bunny.The mouse apologized profusely, and said that she knew Peter Rabbit.While she and Benjamin were talking, close under the wall, theyheard aheavy tread above their heads; and suddenly Mr. McGregor emptied out asackful of lawn mowings right upon the top of the sleeping FlopsyBunnies!Benjamin shrank down under his paper bag. The mouse hid in a jam pot.[Illustration][Illustration]The little rabbits smiled sweetly in their sleep under theshower ofgrass; they did not awake because the lettuces had been so soporific.They dreamt that their mother Flopsy was tucking them up in a hay bed.Mr.McGregor looked down after emptying his sack. He saw some funny littlebrown tips of ears sticking up through the lawn mowings. He stared at themfor sometime.Presently a fly settled on one of them and it moved.Mr. McGregor climbed down on to the rubbish heap--\"One, two, three, four! five! six leetle rabbits!\" saidhe as he droppedthem into his sack. The Flopsy Bunnies dreamt that their mother wasturning them over in bed. They stirred a little in their sleep, but stillthey didnot wake up.[Illustration][Illustration]Mr. McGregor tied up the sack and left it on the wall.He went to put away the mowing machine.While he was gone, Mrs.Flopsy Bunny (who had remained at home) cameacross the field.She looked suspiciously at the sack and wondered where everybody was?[Illustration]Then themouse came out of her jam pot, and Benjamin took the paper bagoff his head, and they told the doleful tale.Benjamin and Flopsy were in despair, they could notundo the string.But Mrs. Tittlemouse was a resourceful person. She nibbled a hole in thebottom corner of the sack.[Illustration]The little rabbits were pulled outand pinched to wake them.Their parents stuffed the empty sack with three rotten vegetable marrows,an old blacking-brush and two decayedturnips.[Illustration]Then they all hid under a bush and watched for Mr. McGregor.[Illustration]Mr. McGregor came back and picked up the sack, and carried itoff.He carried it hanging down, as if it were rather heavy.The Flopsy Bunnies followed at a safe distance.[Illustration]The watched him go into his house.And thenthey crept up to the window to listen.[Illustration]Mr. McGregor threw down the sack on the stone floor in a way that wouldhave been extremely painful to theFlopsy Bunnies, if they had happened tohave been inside it.They could hear him drag his chair on the flags, and chuckle--\"One, two, three, four, five, six leetlerabbits!\" said Mr. McGregor.[Illustration][Illustration]\"Eh? What's that? What have they been spoiling now?\" enquired Mrs.McGregor.\"One, two, three, four, five,six leetle fat rabbits!\" repeated Mr.McGregor, counting on his fingers--\"one, two, three--\"\"Don't you be silly; what do you mean, you silly old man?\"\"In the sack!one, two, three, four, five, six!\" replied Mr. McGregor.(The youngest Flopsy Bunny got upon the window-sill.)Mrs. McGregor took hold of the sack and felt it. Shesaid she could feelsix, but they must be _old_ rabbits, because they were so hard and alldifferent shapes.\"Not fit to eat; but the skins will do fine to line my oldcloak.\"\"Line your old cloak?\" shouted Mr. McGregor--\"I shall sell them and buymyself baccy!\"\"Rabbit tobacco! I shall skin them and cut off theirheads.\"[Illustration]Mrs. McGregor untied the sack and put her hand inside.When she felt the vegetables she became very very angry. She said that Mr.McGregorhad \"done it a purpose.\"[Illustration]And Mr. McGregor was very angry too. One of the rotten marrows came flyingthrough the kitchen window, and hit theyoungest Flopsy Bunny.It was rather hurt.[Illustration]Then Benjamin and Flopsy thought that it was time to go home.[Illustration]So Mr. McGregor did not gethis tobacco, and Mrs. McGregor did not get herrabbit skins.[Illustration]But next Christmas Thomasina Tittlemouse got a present of enoughrabbit-wool to makeherself a cloak and a hood, and a handsome muff and apair of warm mittens.[Illustration][Illustration]THE TALE OF THE FLOPSY BUNNIESBY BEATRIX POTTERF.WARNE & CoEnd of Project Gutenberg's The Tale of the Flopsy Bunnies, by Beatrix Potter*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF THEFLOPSY BUNNIES ******** This file should be named 14220.txt or 14220.zip *****This and all associated files of various formats will be foundin:        http://www.gutenberg.net/1/4/2/2/14220/Produced by Michael Ciesielski and the Online Distributed ProofreadingTeam.Updated editions will replace theprevious one--the old editionswill be renamed.Creating the works from public domain print editions means that noone owns a United States copyright in theseworks, so the Foundation(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States withoutpermission and without paying copyright royalties.

STORMTRANSLATED BY C. W. BELL M. A.PREFACEWe are at the beginning of a new era which will, it is to be hoped, bemarkedby a general _rapprochement_ between the nations. The need toknow and understand one another is being felt more and more. It followsthat the study of foreignlanguages will assume an ever-increasingimportance; indeed, so far as language, literature, and music areconcerned, one may safely assert that _fas est et abhoste doceri_.All those who wish to make acquaintance with the speech of theirneighbours, or who have allowed their former knowledge to grow rusty,willwelcome this edition, which will enable them, independently ofbulky dictionaries, to devote to language study the moments of leisurewhich offer themselves inthe course of the day.The texts have been selected from the double point of view of theirliterary worth and of the usefulness of their vocabulary; inthetranslations, also, the endeavour has been to unite qualities of stylewith strict fidelity to the original.INTRODUCTIONTheodor W. Storm, poet and short-storywriter (1817-1888), was born inSchleswig. He was called to the Bar in his native town, Husum, in1842, but had his licence to practise cancelled in 1853for'Germanophilism,' and had to remove to Germany. It was only in 1864that he was able to return to Husum, where in 1874 he became a judgeof the Court ofAppeals.As early as 1843 he had made himself known as a lyrical poet of theRomantic School, but it was as a short-story writer that he first tooka prominentplace in literature, making a most happy _début_ withthe story entitled _Immensee_.There followed a long series of tales, rich in fancy and in humour,althoughtheir inspiration is generally derived from the humble townand country life which formed his immediate environment; but he wrotenothing that excels, in depthand tenderness of feeling, the charmingstory of _Immensee_; and taking his work all in all, Storm stillranks to-day as a master of the short story in Germanliterature, richthough it is in this form of prose-fiction.IMMENSEETHE OLD MANOne afternoon in the late autumn a well-dressed old man was walkingslowly downthe street. He appeared to be returning home from a walk,for his buckle-shoes, which followed a fashion long since out of date,were covered with dust.Under hisarm he carried a long, gold-headed cane; his dark eyes, inwhich the whole of his long-lost youth seemed to have centred, andwhich contrasted strangely with hissnow-white hair, gazed calmly onthe sights around him or peered into the town below as it lay beforehim, bathed in the haze of sunset. He appeared to be almostastranger, for of the passers-by only a few greeted him, although manya one involuntarily was compelled to gaze into those grave eyes.At last he halted before ahigh, gabled house, cast one more glanceout toward the town, and then passed into the hall. At the sound ofthe door-bell some one in the room within drew asidethe green curtainfrom a small window that looked out on to the hall, and the face of anold woman was seen behind it. The man made a sign to her withhiscane.\"No light yet!\" he said in a slightly southern accent, and thehousekeeper let the curtain fall again.The old man now passed through the broad hall,through an inner hall,wherein against the walls stood huge oaken chests bearing porcelainvases; then through the door opposite he entered a small lobby,fromwhich a narrow staircase led to the upper rooms at the back of thehouse. He climbed the stairs slowly, unlocked a door at the top, andlanded in a room ofmedium size.It was a comfortable, quiet retreat. One of the walls was lined withcupboards and bookcases; on the other hung pictures of men and places;on atable with a green cover lay a number of open books, and beforethe table stood a massive arm-chair with a red velvet cushion.After the old man had placed hishat and stick in a corner, he sat downin the arm-chair and, folding his hands, seemed to be taking his restafter his walk. While he sat thus, it was growinggradually darker; andbefore long a moonbeam came streaming through the window-panes and uponthe pictures on the wall; and as the bright band of lightpassed slowlyonward the old man followed it involuntarily with his eyes.Now it reached a little picture in a simple black frame. \"Elisabeth!\"said the old man softly;and as he uttered the word, time had changed:_he was young again_.       *       *       *       *       *THE CHILDRENBefore very long the dainty form of a littlemaiden advanced towardhim. Her name was Elisabeth, and she might have been five years old.He himself was twice that age. Round her neck she wore a redsilkkerchief which was very becoming to her brown eyes.\"Reinhard!\" she cried, \"we have a holiday, a holiday! No school thewhole day and none to-morroweither!\"Reinhard was carrying his slate under his arm, but he flung it behindthe front door, and then both the children ran through the house intothe garden andthrough the garden gate out into the meadow. Theunexpected holiday came to them at a most happily opportune moment.It was in the meadow that Reinhard,with Elisabeth's help, had built ahouse out of sods of grass. They meant to live in it during the summerevenings; but it still wanted a bench. He set to work atonce; nails,hammer, and the necessary boards were already to hand.While he was thus engaged, Elisabeth went along the dyke, gatheringthe ring-shaped seedsof the wild mallow in her apron, with the objectof making herself chains and necklaces out of them; so that whenReinhard had at last finished his bench in spite ofmany a crookedlyhammered nail, and came out into the sunlight again, she was alreadywandering far away at the other end of the meadow.\"Elisabeth!\" hecalled, \"Elisabeth!\" and then she came, her hairstreaming behind her.\"Come here,\" he said; \"our house is finished now. Why, you have gotquite hot! Come in, andlet us sit on the new bench. I will tell you astory.\"So they both went in and sat down on the new bench. Elisabeth took thelittle seed-rings out of her apron andstrung them on long threads.Reinhard began his tale: \"There were once upon a time threespinning-women...\"[1][1] The beginning of one of the best known ofGrimm's fairy tales.\"Oh!\" said Elisabeth, \"I know that off by heart; you really must notalways tell me the same story.\"Accordingly Reinhard had to give up thestory of the threespinning-women and tell instead the story of the poor man who was castinto the den of lions.\"It was now night,\" he said, \"black night, youknow, and the lionswere asleep. But every now and then they would yawn in their sleep andshoot out their red tongues. And then the man would shudder andthinkit was morning. All at once a bright light fell all about him, andwhen he looked up an angel was standing before him. The angel beckonedto him with his handand then went straight into the rocks.\"Elisabeth had been listening attentively. \"An angel?\" she said. \"Hadhe wings then?\"\"It is only a story,\" answered Reinhard;\"there are no angels, youknow.\"\"Oh, fie! Reinhard!\" she said, staring him straight in the face.He looked at her with a frown, and she asked him hesitatingly:\"Well,why do they always say there are? mother, and aunt, and at school aswell?\"\"I don't know,\" he answered.\"But tell me,\" said Elisabeth, \"are there no lionseither?\"\"Lions? Are there lions? In India, yes. The heathen priests harnessthem to their carriages, and drive about the desert with them. WhenI'm big, I mean togo out there myself. It is thousands of times morebeautiful in that country than it is here at home; there's no winterat all there. And you must come with me. Willyou?\"\"Yes,\" said Elisabeth; \"but mother must come with us, and your motheras well.\"\"No,\" said Reinhard, \"they will be too old then, and cannot comewithus.\"\"But I mayn't go by myself.\"\"Oh, but you may right enough; you will then really be my wife, andthe others will have no say in the matter.\"\"But motherwill cry!\"\"We shall come back again of course,\" said Reinhard impetuously. \"Nowjust tell me straight out, will you go with me? If not, I will go allalone, and then Ishall never come back again.\"The little girl came very near to crying. \"Please don't look soangry,\" said she; \"I will go to India with you.\"Reinhard seized both herhands with frantic glee, and rushed out withher into the meadow.\"To India, to India!\" he sang, and swung her round and round, so thather little red kerchief waswhirled from off her neck. Then hesuddenly let her go and said solemnly:\"Nothing will come of it, I'm sure; you haven't the pluck.\"\"Elisabeth! Reinhard!\" someone was now calling from the garden gate.\"Here we are!\" the children answered, and raced home hand in hand.       *       *       *       *       *IN THE WOODSSothe children lived together. She was often too quiet for him, andhe was often too head-strong for her, but for all that they stuck toone another. They spent nearlyall their leisure hours together: inwinter in their mothers' tiny rooms, during the summer in wood andfield.Once when Elisabeth was scolded by the teacher inReinhard's hearing,he angrily banged his slate upon the table in order to turn uponhimself the master's wrath. This failed to attract attention.But Reinhard paid nofurther attention to the geography lessons, andinstead he composed a long poem, in which he compared himself to ayoung eagle, the schoolmaster to a greycrow, and Elisabeth to a whitedove; the eagle vowed vengeance on the grey crow, as soon as his wingshad grown.Tears stood in the young poet's eyes: he feltvery proud of himself.When he reached home he contrived to get hold of a littleparchment-bound volume with a lot of blank pages in it; and on the firstpages heelaborately wrote out his first poem.Soon after this he went to another school. Here he made many newfriendships among boys of his own age, but this did notinterrupt hiscomings and goings with Elisabeth. Of the stories which he hadformerly told her over and over again he now began to write down theones which shehad liked best, and in doing so the fancy often tookhim to weave in something of his own thoughts; yet, for some reason hecould not understand, he could nevermanage it.So he wrote them down exactly as he had heard them himself. Then hehanded them over to Elisabeth, who kept them carefully in a drawer ofherwriting-desk, and now and again of an evening when he was presentit afforded him agreeable satisfaction to hear her reading aloud toher mother these little talesout of the notebooks in which he hadwritten them.Seven years had gone by. Reinhard was to leave the town in order toproceed to his higher education. Elisabethcould not bring herself tothink that there would now be a time to be passed entirely withoutReinhard. She was delighted when he told her one day that he"}

XIII  RACING FOR LIFE  XIV  GORE AND DREAMS   XV  CONQUEST ANDPEACEPROLOGUESeveral years had elapsed since I had found the opportunity to do anybig-game hunting; for at last I had my plans almost perfected for areturnto my old stamping-grounds in northern Africa, where in otherdays I had had excellent sport in pursuit of the king of beasts.The date of my departure had beenset; I was to leave in two weeks.  Noschoolboy counting the lagging hours that must pass before thebeginning of \"long vacation\" released him to the deliriousjoys of thesummer camp could have been filled with greater impatience or keeneranticipation.And then came a letter that started me for Africa twelve days aheadofmy schedule.Often am I in receipt of letters from strangers who have foundsomething in a story of mine to commend or to condemn.  My interest inthisdepartment of my correspondence is ever fresh.  I opened thisparticular letter with all the zest of pleasurable anticipation withwhich I had opened so manyothers.  The post-mark (Algiers) had arousedmy interest and curiosity, especially at this time, since it wasAlgiers that was presently to witness the termination ofmy coming seavoyage in search of sport and adventure.Before the reading of that letter was completed lions and lion-huntinghad fled my thoughts, and I was in astate of excitement bordering uponfrenzy.It--well, read it yourself, and see if you, too, do not find food forfrantic conjecture, for tantalizing doubts, and for agreat hope.Here it is:DEAR SIR: I think that I have run across one of the most remarkablecoincidences in modern literature.  But let me start at the beginning:Iam, by profession, a wanderer upon the face of the earth.  I have notrade--nor any other occupation.My father bequeathed me a competency; some remoterancestors lust toroam.  I have combined the two and invested them carefully and withoutextravagance.I became interested in your story, At the Earth's Core, notso muchbecause of the probability of the tale as of a great and abiding wonderthat people should be paid real money for writing such impossibletrash.  You willpardon my candor, but it is necessary that youunderstand my mental attitude toward this particular story--that youmay credit that which follows.Shortlythereafter I started for the Sahara in search of a rather rarespecies of antelope that is to be found only occasionally within alimited area at a certain season of theyear.  My chase led me far fromthe haunts of man.It was a fruitless search, however, in so far as antelope is concerned;but one night as I lay courting sleep atthe edge of a little clusterof date-palms that surround an ancient well in the midst of the arid,shifting sands, I suddenly became conscious of a strange soundcomingapparently from the earth beneath my head.It was an intermittent ticking!No reptile or insect with which I am familiar reproduces any suchnotes.  I lay foran hour--listening intently.At last my curiosity got the better of me.  I arose, lighted my lampand commenced to investigate.My bedding lay upon a rug stretcheddirectly upon the warm sand.  Thenoise appeared to be coming from beneath the rug.  I raised it, butfound nothing--yet, at intervals, the sound continued.I duginto the sand with the point of my hunting-knife.  A few inchesbelow the surface of the sand I encountered a solid substance that hadthe feel of wood beneath thesharp steel.Excavating about it, I unearthed a small wooden box.  From thisreceptacle issued the strange sound that I had heard.How had it come here?What didit contain?In attempting to lift it from its burying place I discovered that itseemed to be held fast by means of a very small insulated cable runningfarther into thesand beneath it.My first impulse was to drag the thing loose by main strength; butfortunately I thought better of this and fell to examining the box.  Isoon sawthat it was covered by a hinged lid, which was held closed bya simple screwhook and eye.It took but a moment to loosen this and raise the cover, when, tomyutter astonishment, I discovered an ordinary telegraph instrumentclicking away within.\"What in the world,\" thought I, \"is this thing doing here?\"That it was aFrench military instrument was my first guess; but reallythere didn't seem much likelihood that this was the correctexplanation, when one took into account theloneliness and remotenessof the spot.As I sat gazing at my remarkable find, which was ticking and clickingaway there in the silence of the desert night, trying toconvey somemessage which I was unable to interpret, my eyes fell upon a bit ofpaper lying in the bottom of the box beside the instrument.  I pickedit up andexamined it.  Upon it were written but two letters:D. I.They meant nothing to me then.  I was baffled.Once, in an interval of silence upon the part of thereceivinginstrument, I moved the sending-key up and down a few times.  Instantlythe receiving mechanism commenced to work frantically.I tried to recallsomething of the Morse Code, with which I had playedas a little boy--but time had obliterated it from my memory.  I becamealmost frantic as I let my imaginationrun riot among the possibilitiesfor which this clicking instrument might stand.Some poor devil at the unknown other end might be in dire need ofsuccor.  The veryfranticness of the instrument's wild clashingbetokened something of the kind.And there sat I, powerless to interpret, and so powerless to help!It was then that theinspiration came to me.  In a flash there leapedto my mind the closing paragraphs of the story I had read in the clubat Algiers:Does the answer lie somewhereupon the bosom of the broad Sahara, atthe ends of two tiny wires, hidden beneath a lost cairn?The idea seemed preposterous.  Experience and intelligencecombined toassure me that there could be no slightest grain of truth orpossibility in your wild tale--it was fiction pure and simple.And yet where WERE the otherends of those wires?What was this instrument--ticking away here in the great Sahara--but atravesty upon the possible!Would I have believed in it had I not seenit with my own eyes?And the initials--D. I.--upon the slip of paper!David's initials were these--David Innes.I smiled at my imaginings.  I ridiculed the assumptionthat there wasan inner world and that these wires led downward through the earth'scrust to the surface of Pellucidar.  And yet--Well, I sat there all night,listening to that tantalizing clicking,now and then moving the sending-key just to let the other end know thatthe instrument had been discovered.  In themorning, after carefullyreturning the box to its hole and covering it over with sand, I calledmy servants about me, snatched a hurried breakfast, mounted myhorse,and started upon a forced march for Algiers.I arrived here today.  In writing you this letter I feel that I ammaking a fool of myself.There is no DavidInnes.There is no Dian the Beautiful.There is no world within a world.Pellucidar is but a realm of your imagination--nothing more.BUT--The incident of the findingof that buried telegraph instrument uponthe lonely Sahara is little short of uncanny, in view of your story ofthe adventures of David Innes.I have called it one ofthe most remarkable coincidences in modernfiction.  I called it literature before, but--again pardon mycandor--your story is not.And now--why am I writingyou?Heaven knows, unless it is that the persistent clicking of thatunfathomable enigma out there in the vast silences of the Sahara has sowrought upon mynerves that reason refuses longer to function sanely.I cannot hear it now, yet I know that far away to the south, all alonebeneath the sands, it is still poundingout its vain, frantic appeal.It is maddening.It is your fault--I want you to release me from it.Cable me at once, at my expense, that there was no basis of factforyour story, At the Earth's Core.Very respectfully yours,COGDON NESTOR,  ---- and ---- Club,    Algiers.      June 1st, --.Ten minutes after reading this letter Ihad cabled Mr. Nestor asfollows:Story true.  Await me Algiers.As fast as train and boat would carry me, I sped toward my destination.For all those dragging daysmy mind was a whirl of mad conjecture, offrantic hope, of numbing fear.The finding of the telegraph-instrument practically assured me thatDavid Innes haddriven Perry's iron mole back through the earth's crustto the buried world of Pellucidar; but what adventures had befallen himsince his return?Had he found Dianthe Beautiful, his half-savage mate, safe among hisfriends, or had Hooja the Sly One succeeded in his nefarious schemes toabduct her?Did Abner Perry, thelovable old inventor and paleontologist, stilllive?Had the federated tribes of Pellucidar succeeded in overthrowing themighty Mahars, the dominant race of reptilianmonsters, and theirfierce, gorilla-like soldiery, the savage Sagoths?I must admit that I was in a state bordering upon nervous prostrationwhen I entered the ----and ---- Club, in Algiers, and inquired for Mr.Nestor.  A moment later I was ushered into his presence, to find myselfclasping hands with the sort of chap that theworld holds only too fewof.He was a tall, smooth-faced man of about thirty, clean-cut, straight,and strong, and weather-tanned to the hue of a desert Arab.  Ilikedhim immensely from the first, and I hope that after our three monthstogether in the desert country--three months not entirely lacking inadventure--he foundthat a man may be a writer of \"impossible trash\"and yet have some redeeming qualities.The day following my arrival at Algiers we left for the south, Nestorhavingmade all arrangements in advance, guessing, as he naturally did,that I could be coming to Africa for but a single purpose--to hasten atonce to the buriedtelegraph-instrument and wrest its secret from it.In addition to our native servants, we took along an Englishtelegraph-operator named Frank Downes.  Nothingof interest enlivenedour journey by rail and caravan till we came to the cluster ofdate-palms about the ancient well upon the rim of the Sahara.It was the veryspot at which I first had seen David Innes.  If he hadever raised a cairn above the telegraph instrument no sign of itremained now.  Had it not been for the chancethat caused Cogdon Nestorto throw down his sleeping rug directly over the hidden instrument, itmight still be clicking there unheard--and this story stillunwritten.When we reached the spot and unearthed the little box the instrumentwas quiet, nor did repeated attempts upon the part of our telegraphersucceed in"}

THE END OF ITTHE CRIME OF THE BRIGADIERTHE \"SLAPPING SAL\"THE GREATSHADOW.CHAPTER I.THE NIGHT OF THE BEACONS.It is strange to me, Jock Calder of West Inch, to feel that though now,in the very centre of the nineteenthcentury, I am but five-and-fiftyyears of age, and though it is only once in a week perhaps that my wifecan pluck out a little grey bristle from over my ear, yet Ihave livedin a time when the thoughts and the ways of men were as different asthough it were another planet from this.  For when I walk in my fields Ican see,down Berwick way, the little fluffs of white smoke which tellme of this strange new hundred-legged beast, with coals for food and athousand men in its belly, forever crawling over the border.On a shiny day I can see the glint of the brass work as it takes thecurve near Corriemuir; and then, as I look out to sea, there is thesamebeast again, or a dozen of them maybe, leaving a trail of black in theair and of white in the water, and swimming in the face of the wind aseasily as a salmonup the Tweed.  Such a sight as that would have struckmy good old father speechless with wrath as well as surprise; for he wasso stricken with the fear ofoffending the Creator that he was chary ofcontradicting Nature, and always held the new thing to be nearly akin tothe blasphemous.  As long as God made thehorse, and a man downBirmingham way the engine, my good old dad would have stuck by thesaddle and the spurs.But he would have been still more surprisedhad he seen the peace andkindliness which reigns now in the hearts of men, and the talk in thepapers and at the meetings that there is to be no more war--save,ofcourse, with blacks and such like.  For when he died we had beenfighting with scarce a break, save only during two short years, for verynearly a quarter of acentury.  Think of it, you who live so quietly andpeacefully now!  Babies who were born in the war grew to be bearded menwith babies of their own, and still thewar continued.  Those who hadserved and fought in their stalwart prime grew stiff and bent, and yetthe ships and the armies were struggling.  It was no wonderthat folkcame at last to look upon it as the natural state, and thought how queerit must seem to be at peace.  During that long time we fought the Dutch,wefought the Danes, we fought the Spanish, we fought the Turks, wefought the Americans, we fought the Monte-Videans, until it seemed thatin this universalstruggle no race was too near of kin, or too far away,to be drawn into the quarrel.  But most of all it was the French whom wefought, and the man whom of allothers we loathed and feared and admiredwas the great Captain who ruled them.It was very well to draw pictures of him, and sing songs about him, andmake asthough he were an impostor; but I can tell you that the fear ofthat man hung like a black shadow over all Europe, and that there was atime when the glint of afire at night upon the coast would set everywoman upon her knees and every man gripping for his musket.  He hadalways won: that was the terror of it.  TheFates seemed to be behindhim.  And now we knew that he lay upon the northern coast with a hundredand fifty thousand veterans, and the boats for theirpassage.  But it isan old story, how a third of the grown folk of our country took up arms,and how our little one-eyed, one-armed man crushed their fleet.Therewas still to be a land of free thinking and free speaking inEurope.There was a great beacon ready on the hill by Tweedmouth, built up oflogs and tar-barrels; and Ican well remember how, night after night, Istrained my eyes to see if it were ablaze.  I was only eight at thetime, but it is an age when one takes a grief to heart,and I felt asthough the fate of the country hung in some fashion upon me and myvigilance.  And then one night as I looked I suddenly saw a littleflicker on thebeacon hill--a single red tongue of flame in thedarkness.  I remember how I rubbed my eyes, and pinched myself, andrapped my knuckles against the stonewindow-sill, to make sure that Iwas indeed awake.  And then the flame shot higher, and I saw the redquivering line upon the water between; and I dashed intothe kitchen,screeching to my father that the French had crossed and the Tweedmouthlight was aflame.  He had been talking to Mr. Mitchell, the law studentfromEdinburgh; and I can see him now as he knocked his pipe out at theside of the fire, and looked at me from over the top of his hornspectacles.\"Are you sure,Jock?\" says he.\"Sure as death!\" I gasped.He reached out his hand for the Bible upon the table, and opened it uponhis knee as though he meant to read to us; buthe shut it again insilence, and hurried out.  We went too, the law student and I, andfollowed him down to the gate which opens out upon the highway.  Fromtherewe could see the red light of the big beacon, and the glimmer of asmaller one to the north of us at Ayton.  My mother came down with twoplaids to keep the chillfrom us, and we all stood there until morning,speaking little to each other, and that little in a whisper.  The roadhad more folk on it than ever passed along it atnight before; for manyof the yeomen up our way had enrolled themselves in the Berwickvolunteer regiments, and were riding now as fast as hoof could carrythemfor the muster.  Some had a stirrup cup or two before parting, andI cannot forget one who tore past on a huge white horse, brandishing agreat rusty sword in themoonlight.  They shouted to us as they passedthat the North Berwick Law fire was blazing, and that it was thoughtthat the alarm had come from EdinburghCastle.  There were a few whogalloped the other way, couriers for Edinburgh, and the laird's son, andMaster Clayton, the deputy sheriff, and such like.  Andamong othersthere was one a fine built, heavy man on a roan horse, who pulled up atour gate and asked some question about the road.  He took off his hattoease himself, and I saw that he had a kindly long-drawn face, and agreat high brow that shot away up into tufts of sandy hair.\"I doubt it's a false alarm,\" saidhe.  \"Maybe I'd ha' done well to bidewhere I was; but now I've come so far, I'll break my fast with theregiment.\"He clapped spurs to his horse, and away he wentdown the brae.\"I ken him weel,\" said our student, nodding after him.  \"He's a lawyerin Edinburgh, and a braw hand at the stringin' of verses.  Wattie Scottis hisname.\"None of us had heard of it then; but it was not long before it was thebest known name in Scotland, and many a time we thought of how hespeered his wayof us on the night of the terror.But early in the morning we had our minds set at ease.  It was grey andcold, and my mother had gone up to the house to make apot of tea forus, when there came a gig down the road with Dr. Horscroft of Ayton init and his son Jim.  The collar of the doctor's brown coat came over hisears,and he looked in a deadly black humour; for Jim, who was butfifteen years of age, had trooped off to Berwick at the first alarm withhis father's new fowlingpiece.  All night his dad had chased him, andnow there he was, a prisoner, with the barrel of the stolen gun stickingout from behind the seat.  He looked as sulkyas his father, with hishands thrust into his side-pockets, his brows drawn down, and his lowerlip thrusting out.\"It's all a lie!\" shouted the doctor as hepassed.  \"There has been nolanding, and all the fools in Scotland have been gadding about the roadsfor nothing.\"His son Jim snarled something up at him on this,and his father struckhim a blow with his clenched fist on the side of his head, which sentthe boy's chin forward upon his breast as though he had been stunned.Myfather shook his head, for he had a liking for Jim; but we all walkedup to the house again, nodding and blinking, and hardly able to keep oureyes open now thatwe knew that all was safe, but with a thrill of joyat our hearts such as I have only matched once or twice in mylifetime.Now all this has little enough to do withwhat I took my pen up to tellabout; but when a man has a good memory and little skill, he cannot drawone thought from his mind without a dozen others trailingout behind it.And yet, now that I come to think of it, this had something to do withit after all; for Jim Horscroft had so deadly a quarrel with his father,that he waspacked off to the Berwick Academy, and as my father had longwished me to go there, he took advantage of this chance to send me also.But before I say a wordabout this school, I shall go back to where Ishould have begun, and give you a hint as to who I am; for it may bethat these words of mine may be read by somefolk beyond the bordercountry who never heard of the Calders of  West Inch.It has a brave sound, West Inch, but it is not a fine estate with abraw house upon it,but only a great hard-bitten, wind-swept sheep run,fringing off into links along the sea-shore, where a frugal man mightwith hard work just pay his rent and havebutter instead of treacle onSundays.  In the centre there is a grey-stoned slate-roofed house with abyre behind it, and \"1703\" scrawled in stonework over thelintel of thedoor.  There for more than a hundred years our folk have lived, until,for all their poverty, they came to take a good place among the people;for in thecountry parts the old yeoman is often better thought of thanthe new laird.There was one queer thing about the house of West Inch.  It has beenreckoned byengineers and other knowing folk that the boundary linebetween the two countries ran right through the middle of it, splittingour second-best bedroom into anEnglish half and a Scotch half.  Now thecot in which I always slept was so placed that my head was to the northof the line and my feet to the south of it.  Myfriends say that if Ihad chanced to lie the other way my hair might not have been so sandy,nor my mind of so solemn a cast.  This I know, that more than once inmylife, when my Scotch head could see no way out of a danger, my goodthick English legs have come to my help, and carried me clear away.But at school Inever heard the end of this, for they would call me\"Half-and-half\" and \"The Great Britain,\" and sometimes \"Union Jack.\"When there was a battle between theScotch and English boys, one sidewould kick my shins and the other cuff my ears, and then they would bothstop and laugh as though it were something funny.At"}

WILFRID JACKSON[Illustration]NEW YORK: JOHN LANE COMPANYLONDON: JOHN LANE, THE BODLEYHEADTORONTO: BELL & COCKBURN MCMXIVCopyright, 1913 byJOHN LANE COMPANYTHE GODS ARE ATHIRSTIÃ\u0000variste Gamelin, painter, pupil of David,member of the Section duPont-Neuf, formerly Section Henri IV, had betaken himself at an earlyhour in the morning to the old church of the Barnabites, which forthreeyears, since 21st May 1790, had served as meeting-place for the GeneralAssembly of the Section. The church stood in a narrow, gloomy square,not far fromthe gates of the Palais de Justice. On the façade, whichconsisted of two of the Classical orders superimposed and was decoratedwith inverted brackets andflaming urns, blackened by the weather anddisfigured by the hand of man, the religious emblems had been batteredto pieces, while above the doorway had beeninscribed in black lettersthe Republican catchword of \"Liberty, Equality, Fraternity or Death.\"Ã\u0000variste Gamelin made his way into the nave; the same vaultswhich hadheard the surpliced clerks of the Congregation of St. Paul sing thedivine offices, now looked down on red-capped patriots assembled toelect theMunicipal magistrates and deliberate on the affairs of theSection. The Saints had been dragged from their niches and replaced bythe busts of Brutus,Jean-Jacques and Le Peltier. The altar had beenstripped bare and was surmounted by the Table of the Rights of Man.It was here in the nave that twice a week,from five in the evening toeleven, were held the public assemblies. The pulpit, decorated with thecolours of the Nation, served as tribune for the speakers whoharanguedthe meeting. Opposite, on the Epistle side, rose a platform of roughplanks, for the accommodation of the women and children, who attendedthesegatherings in considerable numbers.On this particular morning, facing a desk planted underneath the pulpit,sat in red cap and _carmagnole_ complete the joinerfrom the PlaceThionville, the _citoyen_ Dupont senior, one of the twelve forming theCommittee of Surveillance. On the desk stood a bottle and glasses,anink-horn, and a folio containing the text of the petition urging theConvention to expel from its bosom the twenty-two members deemedunworthy.Ã\u0000varisteGamelin took the pen and signed.\"I was sure,\" said the carpenter and magistrate, \"I was sure you wouldcome and give in your name, _citoyen_ Gamelin. You arethe real thing.But the Section is lukewarm; it is lacking in virtue. I have proposed tothe Committee of Surveillance to deliver no certificate of citizenshipto any onewho has failed to sign the petition.\"\"I am ready to sign with my blood,\" said Gamelin, \"for the proscriptionof these federalists, these traitors. They have desiredthe death ofMarat: let them perish.\"\"What ruins us,\" replied Dupont senior, \"is indifferentism. In a Sectionwhich contains nine hundred citizens with the right tovote there arenot fifty attend the assembly. Yesterday we were eight and twenty.\"\"Well then,\" said Gamelin, \"citizens must be obliged to come underpenalty of afine.\"\"Oh, ho!\" exclaimed the joiner frowning, \"but if they all came, thepatriots would be in a minority.... _Citoyen_ Gamelin, will you drink aglass of wine to thehealth of all good sansculottes?...\"On the wall of the church, on the Gospel side, could be read the words,accompanied by a black hand, the forefinger pointing tothe passageleading to the cloisters: \"_Comité civil, Comité de surveillance, Comitéde bienfaisance._\" A few yards further on, you came to the door oftheerstwhile sacristy, over which was inscribed: _Comité militaire_.Gamelin pushed this door open and found the Secretary of the Committeewithin; he waswriting at a large table loaded with books, papers, steelingots, cartridges and samples of saltpetre-bearing soils.\"Greeting, _citoyen_ Trubert. How are you?\"\"I?...I am perfectly well.\"The Secretary of the Military Committee, Fortuné Trubert, invariablymade this same reply to all who troubled about his health, less bywayof informing them of his welfare than to cut short any discussion on thesubject. At twenty-eight, he had a parched skin, thin hair, hecticcheeks and bentshoulders. He was an optician on the Quai des Orfèvres,and owned a very old house which he had given up in '91 to asuperannuated clerk in order to devote hisenergies to the discharge ofhis municipal duties. His mother, a charming woman, whose memory a fewold men of the neighbourhood still cherished fondly, haddied at twenty;she had left him her fine eyes, full of gentleness and passion, herpallor and timidity. From his father, optician and mathematicalinstrument makerto the King, carried off by the same complaint beforehis thirtieth year, he inherited an upright character and an industrioustemperament.Without stopping hiswriting:\"And you, _citoyen_,\" he asked, \"how are you?\"\"Very well. Anything new?\"\"Nothing, nothing. You can see,--we are all quiet here.\"\"And thesituation?\"\"The situation is just the same.\"The situation was appalling. The finest army of the Republic blockadedin Mayence; Valenciennes besieged; Fontenaytaken by the Vendéens; Lyonsrebellious; the Cévennes in insurrection, the frontier open to theSpaniards; two-thirds of the Departments invaded or revolted;Parishelpless before the Austrian cannon, without money, without bread!Fortuné Trubert wrote on calmly. The Sections being instructed byresolution of theCommune to carry out the levy of twelve thousand menfor La Vendée, he was drawing up directions relating to the enrolmentand arming of the contingentwhich the \"Pont-Neuf,\" erstwhile \"HenriIV,\" was to supply. All the muskets in store were to be handed over tothe men requisitioned for the front; the NationalGuard of the Sectionwould be armed with fowling-pieces and pikes.\"I have brought you here,\" said Gamelin, \"the schedule of thechurch-bells to be sent to theLuxembourg to be converted into cannon.\"Ã\u0000variste Gamelin, albeit he had not a penny, was inscribed among theactive members of the Section; the lawaccorded this privilege only tosuch citizens as were rich enough to pay a contribution equivalent inamount to three days' work, and demanded a ten days'contribution toqualify an elector for office. But the Section du Pont-Neuf, enamouredof equality and jealous of its independence, regarded as qualified bothfor thevote and for office every citizen who had paid out of his ownpocket for his National Guard's uniform. This was Gamelin's case, whowas an _active_ citizen of hisSection and member of the MilitaryCommittee.Fortuné Trubert laid down his pen:\"_Citoyen_ Ã\u0000variste,\" he said, \"I beg you to go to the Convention andaskthem to send us orders to dig up the floor of cellars, to wash thesoil and flag-stones and collect the saltpetre. It is not everything tohave guns, we must havegunpowder too.\"A little hunchback, a pen behind his ear and a bundle of papers in hishand, entered the erstwhile sacristy. It was the _citoyen_ Beauvisage,of theCommittee of Surveillance.\"_Citoyens_,\" he announced, \"we have bad news: Custine has evacuatedLandau.\"\"Custine is a traitor!\" cried Gamelin.\"He shall beguillotined,\" said Beauvisage.Trubert, in his rather breathless voice, expressed himself with hishabitual calmness:\"The Convention has not instituted a Committeeof Public Safety for fun.It will enquire into Custine's conduct. Incompetent or traitor, he willbe superseded by a General resolved to win the victory,--and _çaira!_\"He turned over a heap of papers, scrutinizing them with his tired eyes:\"That our soldiers may do their duty with a quiet mind and stout heart,they must beassured that the lot of those they leave behind at home issafeguarded. If you are of the same opinion, _citoyen_ Gamelin, you willjoin me in demanding, at thenext assembly, that the Committee ofBenevolence concert measures with the Military Committee to succour thefamilies that are in indigence and have a relativeat the front.\"He smiled and hummed to himself: \"_Ã\u0000a ira! ça ira!..._\"Working twelve and fourteen hours a day at his table of unpainted dealfor the defence ofthe fatherland in peril, this humble Secretary of theSectional Committee could see no disproportion between the immensity ofthe task and the meagreness of hismeans for performing it, so filledwas he with a sense of the unity in a common effort between himself andall other patriots, so intimately did he feel himself onewith theNation at large, so merged was his individual life in the life of agreat People. He was of the sort who combine enthusiasm withlong-suffering, who, aftereach check, set about organizing the victorythat is impossible, but is bound to come. And verily they _must_ win theday. These men of no account, who haddestroyed Royalty and upset theold order of things, this Trubert, a penniless optician, this Ã\u0000varisteGamelin, an unknown dauber, could expect no mercy fromtheir enemies.They had no choice save between victory and death. Hence both theirfervour and their serenity.IIQuitting the Barnabites, Ã\u0000variste Gamelin set offin the direction ofthe Place Dauphine, now renamed the Place de Thionville in honour of acity that had shown itself impregnable.Situated in the busiest quarter ofParis, the _Place_ had long lost thefine stateliness it had worn a hundred years ago; the mansions formingits three sides, built in the days of Henri IV in oneuniform style, ofred brick with white stone dressings, to lodge splendour-lovingmagistrates, had had their imposing roofs of slate removed to make wayfor two orthree wretched storeys of lath and plaster or had even beendemolished altogether and replaced by shabby whitewashed houses, and nowdisplayed only a seriesof irregular, poverty-stricken, squalid fronts,pierced with countless narrow, unevenly spaced windows enlivened withflowers in pots, birdcages, and rags hangingout to dry. These wereoccupied by a swarm of artisans, jewellers, metal-workers, clockmakers,opticians, printers, laundresses, sempstresses, milliners, and afewgrey-beard lawyers who had not been swept away in the storm ofrevolution along with the King's courts.It was morning and springtime. Golden sunbeams,intoxicating as newwine, played on the walls and flashed gaily in at garret casements.Every sash of every window was thrown open, showing thehousewives'frowsy heads peeping out. The Clerk of the Revolutionary Tribunal, whohad just left his house on his way to Court, distributed amicable tapson the"}

H. HUDSONPREFACE_Romances of the future, however fantastic they may be, have for mostof us a perennial if mildinterest, since they are born of a very commonfeeling--a sense of dissatisfaction with the existing order of things,combined with a vague faith in or hope of abetter one to come. Thepicture put before us is false; we knew it would be false before lookingat it, since we cannot imagine what is unknown any more than wecanbuild without materials. Our mental atmosphere surrounds and shuts us inlike our own skins; no one can boast that he has broken out of thatprison. The vast,unbounded prospect lies before us, but, as the poetmournfully adds, \"clouds and darkness rest upon it.\" Nevertheless wecannot suppress all curiosity, or helpasking one another, What is yourdream--your ideal? What is your News from Nowhere, or, rather, what isthe result of the little shake your hand has given to theold pasteboardtoy with a dozen bits of colored glass for contents? And, most importantof all, can you present it in a narrative or romance which will enableme topass an idle hour not disagreeably? How, for instance, does itcompare in this respect with other prophetic books on the shelf?__I am not referring to livingauthors; least of all to that flamingo ofletters who for the last decade or so has been a wonder to our islandbirds. For what could I say of him that is not known toevery one--thathe is the tallest of fowls, land or water, of a most singular shape, andhas black-tipped crimson wings folded under his delicaterose-coloredplumage? These other books referred to, written, let us say, from thirtyor forty years to a century or two ago, amuse us in a way their poordeadauthors never intended. Most amusing are the dead ones who takethemselves seriously, whose books are pulpits quaintly carved anddecorated with preciousstones and silken canopies in which they standand preach to or at their contemporaries.__In like manner, in going through this book of mine after so many yearsIam amused at the way it is colored by the little cults and crazes, andmodes of thought of the 'eighties of the last century. They were soimportant then, and now,if remembered at all, they appear so trivial!It pleases me to be diverted in this way at \"A Crystal Age\"--to find, infact, that I have not stood still while the worldhas been moving.__This criticism refers to the case, the habit, of the book rather thanto its spirit, since when we write we do, as the red man thought,impartsomething of our souls to the paper, and it is probable that if I wereto write a new dream of the future it would, though in some respectsvery different fromthis, still be a dream and picture of the human racein its forest period.__Alas that in this case the wish cannot induce belief! For now I rememberanother thingwhich Nature said--that earthly excellence can come in noway but one, and the ending of passion and strife is the beginning ofdecay. It is indeed a hard saying,and the hardest lesson we can learnof her without losing love and bidding good-by forever to hope._W. H. H.A CRYSTAL AGEChapter 1I do not quite know how ithappened, my recollection of the whole matterebbing in a somewhat clouded condition. I fancy I had gone somewhere ona botanizing expedition, but whether athome or abroad I don't know. Atall events, I remember that I had taken up the study of plants with agood deal of enthusiasm, and that while hunting for somevariety in themountains I sat down to rest on the edge of a ravine. Perhaps it was onthe ledge of an overhanging rock; anyhow, if I remember rightly, thegroundgave way all about me, precipitating me below. The fall was avery considerable one--probably thirty or forty feet, or more, and I wasrendered unconscious. Howlong I lay there under the heap of earth andstones carried down in my fall it is impossible to say: perhaps a longtime; but at last I came to myself and struggledup from the_debris_, like a mole coming to the surface of the earth to feelthe genial sunshine on his dim eyeballs. I found myself standing (oddlyenough, on allfours) in an immense pit created by the overthrow of agigantic dead tree with a girth of about thirty or forty feet. The treeitself had rolled down to the bottom ofthe ravine; but the pit in whichit had left the huge stumps of severed roots was, I found, situated in agentle slope at the top of the bank! How, then, I could havefallenseemingly so far from no height at all, puzzled me greatly: it looked asif the solid earth had been indulging in some curious transformationpranks duringthose moments or minutes of insensibility. Anothersingular circumstance was that I had a great mass of small fibrousrootlets tightly woven about my wholeperson, so that I was like acolossal basket-worm in its case, or a big man-shaped bottle coveredwith wicker-work. It appeared as if the roots had _grown_ roundme!Luckily they were quite sapless and brittle, and without bothering mybrains too much about the matter, I set to work to rid myself of them.After stripping thewoody covering off, I found that my tourist suit ofrough Scotch homespun had not suffered much harm, although the clothexuded a damp, moldy smell; also thatmy thick-soled climbing boots hadassumed a cracked rusty appearance as if I had been engaged in somebrick-field operations; while my felt hat was in such adiscolored andbattered condition that I felt almost ashamed to put it on my head. Mywatch was gone; perhaps I had not been wearing it, but my pocket-bookinwhich I had my money was safe in my breast pocket.Glad and grateful at having escaped with unbroken bones from such adangerous accident, I set outwalking along the edge of the ravine,which soon broadened to a valley running between two steep hills; andthen, seeing water at the bottom and feeling very dry,I ran down theslope to get a drink. Lying flat on my chest to slake my thirst animalfashion, I was amazed at the reflection the water gave back of my face:it was,skin and hair, thickly encrusted with clay and rootlets! Havingtaken a long drink, I threw off my clothes to have a bath; and aftersplashing about for half an hourmanaged to rid my skin of itsaccumulations of dirt. While drying in the wind I shook the loose sandand clay from my garments, then dressed, and, feeling greatlyrefreshed,proceeded on my walk.For an hour or so I followed the valley in its many windings, but,failing to see any dwelling-place, I ascended a hill to get a viewofthe surrounding country. The prospect which disclosed itself when I hadgot a couple of hundred feet above the surrounding level, appearedunfamiliar. The hillsamong which I had been wandering were now behindme; before me spread a wide rolling country, beyond which rose amountain range resembling in the distanceblue banked-up clouds withsummits and peaks of pearly whiteness. Looking on this scene I couldhardly refrain from shouting with joy, so glad did the sunlitexpanse ofearth, and the pure exhilarating mountain breeze, make me feel. Theseason was late summer--that was plain to see; the ground was moist, asif fromrecent showers, and the earth everywhere had that intense livinggreenness with which it reclothes itself when the greater heats areover; but the foliage of thewoods was already beginning to be touchedhere and there with the yellow and russet hues of decay. A more tranquiland soul-satisfying scene could not beimagined: the dear old motherearth was looking her very best; while the shifting golden sunlight, themysterious haze in the distance, and the glint of a widestream not veryfar off, seemed to spiritualize her \"happy autumn fields,\" and bringthem into a closer kinship with the blue over-arching sky. There was onelargehouse or mansion in sight, but no town, nor even a hamlet, and notone solitary spire. In vain I scanned the horizon, waiting impatientlyto see the distant puff ofwhite steam from some passing engine. Thistroubled me not a little, for I had no idea that I had drifted so farfrom civilization in my search for specimens, orwhatever it was thatbrought me to this pretty, primitive wilderness. Not quite a wilderness,however, for there, within a short hour's walk of the hill, stood theonegreat stone mansion, close to the river I had mentioned. There werealso horses and cows in sight, and a number of scattered sheep weregrazing on the hillsidebeneath me.Strange to relate, I met with a little misadventure on account of thesheep--an animal which one is accustomed to regard as of a timid andinoffensivenature. When I set out at a brisk pace to walk to the houseI have spoken of, in order to make some inquiries there, a few of thesheep that happened to be nearbegan to bleat loudly, as if alarmed, andby and by they came hurrying after me, apparently in a great state ofexcitement. I did not mind them much, butpresently a pair of horses,attracted by their bleatings, also seemed struck at my appearance, andcame at a swift gallop to within twenty yards of me. Theyweremagnificent-looking brutes, evidently a pair of well-groomed carriagehorses, for their coats, which were of a fine bronze color, sparkledwonderfully in thesunshine. In other respects they were very unlikecarriage animals, for they had tails reaching to the ground, likefuneral horses, and immense black leoninemanes, which gave them astrikingly bold and somewhat formidable appearance. For some momentsthey stood with heads erect, gazing fixedly at me, andthensimultaneously delivered a snort of defiance or astonishment, so loudand sudden that it startled me like the report of a gun. This tremendousequine blastbrought yet another enemy on the field in the shape of ahuge milk-white bull with long horns: a very noble kind of animal, butone which I always prefer to admirefrom behind a hedge, or at adistance through a field-glass. Fortunately his wrathful mutterings gaveme timely notice of his approach, and without waiting todiscover hisintentions, I incontinently fled down the slope to the refuge of a groveor belt of trees clothing the lower portion of the hillside. Spent andpanting frommy run, I embraced a big tree, and turning to face the foe,found that I had not been followed: sheep, horses, and bull were allgrouped together just where I hadleft them, apparently holding aconsultation, or comparing notes.The trees where I had sought shelter were old, and grew here and there,singly or in scatteredgroups: it was a pretty wilderness of mingledtree, shrub and flower. I was surprised to find here some very large andancient-looking fig-trees, and numbers ofwasps and flies were busyfeeding on a few over-ripe figs on the higher branches. Honey-bees alsoroamed about everywhere, extracting sweets from the autumnbloom, andfilling the sunny glades with a soft, monotonous murmur of sound.Walking on full of happy thoughts and a keen sense of the sweetness oflife"}

In height he might have beena little above average, but not enough to make him noticeable. Hisbrownhair was cropped conservatively; his unlined boy's face was not one tobe remembered--unless one was observant enough to note those light-grayeyes andcatch a chilling, measuring expression showing now and then foran instant in their depths.Neatly and inconspicuously dressed, in this last quarter of thetwentiethcentury his like was to be found on any street of the city tenfloors below--to all outward appearances. But that other person underthe protective coloring soassiduously cultivated could touch heights ofencased and controlled fury which Murdock himself did not understand andwas only just learning to use as a weaponagainst a world he had alwaysfound hostile.He was aware, though he gave no sign of it, that a guard was watchinghim. The cop on duty was an old hand--heprobably expected some reactionother than passive acceptance from the prisoner. But he was not goingto get it. The law had Ross sewed up tight this time. Whydidn't theyget about the business of shipping him off? Why had he had thatafternoon session with the skull thumper? Ross had been on the defensivethen, and hehad not liked it. He had given to the other's questions allthe attention his shrewd mind could muster, but a faint, very faint,apprehension still clung to the memoryof that meeting.The door of the detention room opened. Ross did not turn his head, butthe guard cleared his throat as if their hour of mutual silence haddried hisvocal cords. \"On your feet, Murdock! The judge wants to seeyou.\"Ross rose smoothly, with every muscle under fluid control. It never paidto talk back, to allowany sign of defiance to show. He would go throughthe motions as if he were a bad little boy who had realized his errors.It was a meek-and-mild act that had paidoff more than once in Ross'scheckered past. So he faced the man seated behind the desk in the otherroom with an uncertain, diffident smile, standing withboyishawkwardness, respectfully waiting for the other to speak first.Judge Ord Rawle. It was his rotten luck to pull old Eagle Beak on hiscase. Well, he wouldsimply have to take it when the old boy dished itout. Not that he had to remain stuck with it later....\"You have a bad record, young man.\"Ross allowed his smile tofade; his shoulders slumped. But underconcealing lids his eyes showed an instant of cold defiance.\"Yes, sir,\" he agreed in a voice carefully cultivated toshakeconvincingly about the edges. Then suddenly all Ross's pleasure in theskill of his act was wiped away. Judge Rawle was not alone; that blastedskull thumperwas sitting there, watching the prisoner with the samekeenness he had shown the other day.\"A very bad record for the few years you have had to make it.\"EagleBeak was staring at him, too, but without the same look of penetration,luckily for Ross. \"By rights, you should be turned over to the newRehabilitationService....\"Ross froze inside. That was the \"treatment,\" icy rumors of which hadspread throughout his particular world. For the second time since he hadenteredthe room his self-confidence was jarred. Then he clung with adegree of hope to the phrasing of that last sentence.\"Instead, I have been authorized to offer you achoice, Murdock. Onewhich I shall state--and on record--I do not in the least approve.\"Ross's twinge of fear faded. If the judge didn't like it, there mustbesomething in it to the advantage of Ross Murdock. He'd grab it for sure!\"There is a government project in need of volunteers. It seems that youhave tested outas possible material for this assignment. If you signfor it, the law will consider the time spent on it as part of yoursentence. Thus you may aid the country whichyou have heretoforedisgraced----\"\"And if I refuse, I go to this rehabilitation. Is that right, sir?\"\"I certainly consider you a fit candidate for rehabilitation.Yourrecord--\" He shuffled through the papers on his desk.\"I choose to volunteer for the project, sir.\"The judge snorted and pushed all the papers into a folder. Hespoke to aman waiting in the shadows. \"Here then is your volunteer, Major.\"Ross bottled in his relief. He was over the first hump. And since hisluck had held sofar, he might be about to win all the way....The man Judge Rawle called \"Major\" moved into the light. At the firstglance Ross, to his hidden annoyance, foundhimself uneasy. To face upto Eagle Beak was all part of the game. But somehow he sensed one didnot play such games with this man.\"Thank you, your honor. Wewill be on our way at once. This weather isnot very promising.\"Before he realized what was happening, Ross found himself walking meeklyto the door. Heconsidered trying to give the major the slip when theyleft the building, losing himself in a storm-darkened city. But they didnot take the elevator downstairs.Instead, they climbed two or threeflights up the emergency stairs. And to his humiliation Ross foundhimself panting and slowing, while the other man, who musthave been agood dozen years his senior, showed no signs of discomfort.They came out into the snow on the roof, and the major flashed a torchskyward, guidingin a dark shadow which touched down before them. Ahelicopter! For the first time Ross began to doubt the wisdom of hischoice.\"On your way, Murdock!\" Thevoice was impersonal enough, but that veryimpersonality got under one's skin.Bundled into the machine between the silent major and an equally quietpilot inuniform, Ross was lifted over the city, whose ways he knew aswell as he knew the lines on his own palm, into the unknown he wasalready beginning to regarddubiously. The lighted streets andbuildings, their outlines softened by the soft wet snow, fell out ofsight. Now they could mark the outer highways. Ross refusedto ask anyquestions. He could take this silent treatment; he _had_ taken a lot oftougher things in the past.The patches of light disappeared, and the countryopened out. The planebanked. Ross, with all the familiar landmarks of his world gone, couldnot have said if they were headed north or south. But moments laternoteven the thick curtain of snowflakes could blot out the pattern of redlights on the ground, and the helicopter settled down.\"Come on!\"For the second time Rossobeyed. He stood shivering, engulfed in aminiature blizzard. His clothing, protection enough in the city, didlittle good against the push of the wind. A hand grippedhis upper arm,and he was drawn forward to a low building. A door banged and Ross andhis companion came into a region of light and very welcome heat.\"Sitdown--over there!\"Too bewildered to resent orders, Ross sat. There were other men in theroom. One, wearing a queer suit of padded clothing, a bulbousheadgearhooked over his arm, was reading a paper. The major crossed to speak tohim and after they conferred for a moment, the major beckoned Ross withacrooked finger. Ross trailed the officer into an inner room lined withlockers.From one of the lockers the major pulled a suit like the pilot's, andbegan to measure itagainst Ross. \"All right,\" he snapped. \"Climb intothis! We haven't all night.\"Ross climbed into the suit. As soon as he fastened the last zipper hiscompanionjammed one of the domed helmets on his head. The pilot lookedin the door. \"We'd better scramble, Kelgarries, or we may be groundedfor the duration!\"Theyhurried back to the flying field. If the helicopter had been asurprising mode of travel, this new machine was something straight outof the future--a needle-slimship poised on fins, its sharp nose liftingvertically into the heavens. There was a scaffolding along one side,which the pilot scaled to enter the ship.Unwillingly,Ross climbed the same ladder and found that he must wedgehimself in on his back, his knees hunched up almost under his chin. Tomake it worse, cramped asthose quarters were, he had to share them withthe major. A transparent hood snapped down and was secured, sealing themin.During his short lifetime Ross hadoften been afraid, bitterly afraid.He had fought to toughen his mind and body against such fears. But whathe experienced now was no ordinary fear; it was panicso strong that itmade him feel sick. To be shut in this small place with the knowledgethat he had no control over his immediate future brought him face tofacewith every terror he had ever known, all of them combined into onehorrible whole.How long does a nightmare last? A moment? An hour? Ross could not timehis.But at last the weight of a giant hand clamped down on his chest,and he fought for breath until the world exploded about him.He came back to consciousnessslowly. For a second he thought he wasblind. Then he began to sort out one shade of grayish light fromanother. Finally, Ross became aware that he no longerrested on hisback, but was slumped in a seat. The world about him was wrung with avibration that beat in turn through his body.Ross Murdock had remained atliberty as long as he had because he wasable to analyze a situation quickly. Seldom in the past five years hadhe been at a loss to deal with any challengingperson or action. Now hewas aware that he was on the defensive and was being kept there. Hestared into the dark and thought hard and furiously. He wasconvincedthat everything that was happening to him this day was designed withonly one end in view--to shake his self-confidence and make himpliable.Why?Ross had an enduring belief in his own abilities and he also possesseda kind of shrewd understanding seldom granted to one so young. He knewthatwhile Murdock was important to Murdock, he was none too importantin the scheme of things as a whole. He had a record--a record so badthat Rawle might easily"}

I had always felt adeepsympathy with the care-worn men, who looked as if doomed to strugglethrough their lives in strange alternations between work and want;tossed to and froby circumstances, apparently in even a greaterdegree than other men. A little manifestation of this sympathy, anda little attention to the expression of feelings onthe part of someof the work-people with whom I was acquainted, had laid open to methe hearts of one or two of the more thoughtful among them; I sawthat theywere sore and irritable against the rich, the even tenorof whose seemingly happy lives appeared to increase the anguishcaused by the lottery-like nature of theirown. Whether the bittercomplaints made by them, of the neglect which they experienced fromthe prosperous--especially from the masters whose fortunes theyhadhelped to build up--were well-founded or no, it is not for me tojudge. It is enough to say, that this belief of the injustice andunkindness which they endurefrom their fellow-creatures, taints whatmight be resignation to God's will, and turns it to revenge in toomany of the poor uneducated factory-workers ofManchester.The more I reflected on this unhappy state of things between thoseso bound to each other by common interests, as the employers andthe employedmust ever be, the more anxious I became to give someutterance to the agony which, from time to time, convulses this dumbpeople; the agony of sufferingwithout the sympathy of the happy, orof erroneously believing that such is the case. If it be an error,that the woes, which come with ever-returning tide-like floodtooverwhelm the workmen in our manufacturing towns, pass unregardedby all but the sufferers, it is at any rate an error so bitter inits consequences to allparties, that whatever public effort can doin the way of legislation, or private effort in the way of mercifuldeeds, or helpless love in the way of \"widow's mites,\"should bedone, and that speedily, to disabuse the work-people of so miserablea misapprehension. At present they seem to me to be left in a state,whereinlamentations and tears are thrown aside as useless, but inwhich the lips are compressed for curses, and the hands clenched andready to smite.I know nothing ofPolitical Economy, or the theories of trade. I havetried to write truthfully; and if my accounts agree or clash with anysystem, the agreement or disagreement isunintentional.To myself the idea which I have formed of the state of feeling amongtoo many of the factory-people in Manchester, and which I endeavouredtorepresent in this tale (completed above a year ago), has receivedsome confirmation from the events which have so recently occurredamong a similar class on theContinent.OCTOBER, 1848.CHAPTER I.A MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE.   Oh! 'tis hard, 'tis hard to be working     The whole of the live-long day,   When all theneighbours about one     Are off to their jaunts and play.   There's Richard he carries his baby,     And Mary takes little Jane,   And lovingly they'll bewandering     Through field and briery lane.   MANCHESTER SONG.There are some fields near Manchester, well known to the inhabitantsas \"Green Heys Fields,\"through which runs a public footpath to alittle village about two miles distant. In spite of these fieldsbeing flat and low, nay, in spite of the want of wood (thegreat andusual recommendation of level tracts of land), there is a charm aboutthem which strikes even the inhabitant of a mountainous district,who sees andfeels the effect of contrast in these common-place butthoroughly rural fields, with the busy, bustling manufacturing townhe left but half-an-hour ago. Here andthere an old black and whitefarm-house, with its rambling outbuildings, speaks of other times andother occupations than those which now absorb the populationof theneighbourhood. Here in their seasons may be seen the country businessof hay-making, ploughing, &c., which are such pleasant mysteriesfor townspeople towatch; and here the artisan, deafened with noiseof tongues and engines, may come to listen awhile to the delicioussounds of rural life: the lowing of cattle, themilk-maids' call,the clatter and cackle of poultry in the old farm-yards. You cannotwonder, then, that these fields are popular places of resort atevery holidaytime; and you would not wonder, if you could see, or Iproperly describe, the charm of one particular stile, that it shouldbe, on such occasions, a crowdedhalting-place. Close by it is adeep, clear pond, reflecting in its dark green depths the shadowytrees that bend over it to exclude the sun. The only place whereitsbanks are shelving is on the side next to a rambling farm-yard,belonging to one of those old-world, gabled, black and white housesI named above, overlookingthe field through which the publicfootpath leads. The porch of this farm-house is covered by arose-tree; and the little garden surrounding it is crowded withamedley of old-fashioned herbs and flowers, planted long ago, when thegarden was the only druggist's shop within reach, and allowed to growin scrambling andwild luxuriance--roses, lavender, sage, balm (fortea), rosemary, pinks and wallflowers, onions and jessamine, in mostrepublican and indiscriminate order. Thisfarm-house and garden arewithin a hundred yards of the stile of which I spoke, leading fromthe large pasture field into a smaller one, divided by a hedgeofhawthorn and black-thorn; and near this stile, on the further side,there runs a tale that primroses may often be found, and occasionallythe blue sweet violet onthe grassy hedge bank.I do not know whether it was on a holiday granted by the masters, ora holiday seized in right of Nature and her beautiful spring time bytheworkmen, but one afternoon (now ten or a dozen years ago) thesefields were much thronged. It was an early May evening--the Aprilof the poets; for heavyshowers had fallen all the morning, andthe round, soft, white clouds which were blown by a west wind overthe dark blue sky, were sometimes varied by oneblacker and morethreatening. The softness of the day tempted forth the young greenleaves, which almost visibly fluttered into life; and the willows,which thatmorning had had only a brown reflection in the waterbelow, were now of that tender gray-green which blends so delicatelywith the spring harmony ofcolours.Groups of merry and somewhat loud-talking girls, whose ages mightrange from twelve to twenty, came by with a buoyant step. They weremost of themfactory girls, and wore the usual out-of-doors dress ofthat particular class of maidens; namely, a shawl, which at mid-dayor in fine weather was allowed to bemerely a shawl, but towardsevening, or if the day were chilly, became a sort of Spanish mantillaor Scotch plaid, and was brought over the head and hung looselydown,or was pinned under the chin in no unpicturesque fashion.Their faces were not remarkable for beauty; indeed, they were belowthe average, with one or twoexceptions; they had dark hair, neatlyand classically arranged, dark eyes, but sallow complexions andirregular features. The only thing to strike a passer-by wasanacuteness and intelligence of countenance, which has often beennoticed in a manufacturing population.There were also numbers of boys, or rather young men,rambling amongthese fields, ready to bandy jokes with any one, and particularlyready to enter into conversation with the girls, who, however, heldthemselvesaloof, not in a shy, but rather in an independent way,assuming an indifferent manner to the noisy wit or obstreperouscompliments of the lads. Here and therecame a sober quiet couple,either whispering lovers, or husband and wife, as the case mightbe; and if the latter, they were seldom unencumbered by aninfant,carried for the most part by the father, while occasionally eventhree or four little toddlers had been carried or dragged thusfar, in order that the whole"}

Life's CompensationsCHAPTER I.AN EVENT OF POLITICALIMPORTANCE.There had been a heavy shower of rain, but the sun was already shiningthrough the breaks in the clouds and throwing swiftly changing shadowsonthe streets, the houses, and the gardens of the city of Laurania.Everything shone wetly in the sunlight: the dust had been laid; the airwas cool; the trees lookedgreen and grateful.  It was the first rainafter the summer heats, and it marked the beginning of that delightfulautumn climate which has made the Lauraniancapital the home of theartist, the invalid, and the sybarite.The shower had been heavy, but it had not dispersed the crowds thatwere gathered in the great squarein front of the Parliament House.  Itwas welcome, but it had not altered their anxious and angry looks; ithad drenched them without cooling theirexcitement.  Evidently an eventof consequence was taking place.  The fine building, where therepresentatives of the people were wont to meet, wore an aspectofsombre importance that the trophies and statues, with which an ancientand an art-loving people had decorated its façade, did not dispel.  Asquadron ofLancers of the Republican Guard was drawn up at the foot ofthe great steps, and a considerable body of infantry kept a broad spaceclear in front of theentrance.  Behind the soldiers the people filledin the rest of the picture.  They swarmed in the square and the streetsleading to it; they had scrambled on to thenumerous monuments, whichthe taste and pride of the Republic had raised to the memory of herancient heroes, covering them so completely that they lookedlikemounds of human beings; even the trees contained their occupants, whilethe windows and often the roofs, of the houses and offices whichoverlooked thescene were crowded with spectators.  It was a greatmultitude and it vibrated with excitement.  Wild passions surged acrossthe throng, as squalls sweep across astormy sea.  Here and there aman, mounting above his fellows, would harangue those whom his voicecould reach, and a cheer or a shout was caught up bythousands who hadnever heard the words but were searching for something to giveexpression to their feelings.It was a great day in the history of Laurania.  Forfive long yearssince the Civil War the people had endured the insult of autocraticrule.  The fact that the Government was strong, and the memory of thedisordersof the past, had operated powerfully on the minds of the moresober citizens.  But from the first there had been murmurs.  There weremany who had borne armson the losing side in the long struggle thathad ended in the victory of President Antonio Molara.  Some hadsuffered wounds or confiscation; others had undergoneimprisonment;many had lost friends and relations, who with their latest breath hadenjoined the uncompromising prosecution of the war.  The Governmenthadstarted with implacable enemies, and their rule had been harsh andtyrannical.  The ancient constitution to which the citizens were sostrongly attached and ofwhich they were so proud, had been subverted.The President, alleging the prevalence of sedition, had declined toinvite the people to send their representatives tothat chamber whichhad for many centuries been regarded as the surest bulwark of popularliberties.  Thus the discontents increased day by day and year byyear:the National party, which had at first consisted only of a fewsurvivors of the beaten side, had swelled into the most numerous andpowerful faction in theState; and at last they had found a leader.The agitation proceeded on all sides.  The large and turbulentpopulation of the capital were thoroughly devoted to therising cause.Demonstration had followed demonstration; riot had succeeded riot; eventhe army showed signs of unrest.  At length the President had decidedtomake concessions.  It was announced that on the first of Septemberthe electoral writs should be issued and the people should be accordedan opportunity ofexpressing their wishes and opinions.This pledge had contented the more peaceable citizens.  The extremists,finding themselves in a minority, had altered theirtone.  TheGovernment, taking advantage of the favourable moment, had arrestedseveral of the more violent leaders.  Others, who had fought in the warand hadreturned from exile to take part in the revolt, fled for theirlives across the border.  A rigorous search for arms had resulted inimportant captures.  Europeannations, watching with interested andanxious eyes the political barometer, were convinced that theGovernment cause was in the ascendant.  But meanwhile thepeoplewaited, silent and expectant, for the fulfilment of the promise.At length the day had come.  The necessary preparations for summoningthe seventythousand male electors to record their votes had beencarried out by the public officials.  The President, as the customprescribed, was in person to sign thenecessary writ of summons to thefaithful citizens.  Warrants for election would be forwarded to thevarious electoral divisions in the city and the provinces, andthosewho were by the ancient law entitled to the franchise would give theirverdict on the conduct of him whom the Populists in bitter hatred hadcalled theDictator.It was for this moment that the crowd was waiting.  Though cheers fromtime to time arose, they waited for the most part in silence.  Evenwhen thePresident had passed on his way to the Senate, they hadforeborne to hoot; in their eyes he was virtually abdicating, and thatmade amends for all.  Thetime-honoured observances, the long-lovedrights would be restored, and once more democratic government would betriumphant in Laurania.Suddenly, at the topof the steps in the full view of the people, ayoung man appeared, his dress disordered and his face crimson withexcitement.  It was Moret, one of the CivicCouncil.  He wasimmediately recognised by the populace, and a great cheer arose.  Manywho could not see him took up the shout, which re-echoed throughthesquare, the expression of a nation's satisfaction.  He gesticulatedvehemently, but his words, if he spoke at all, were lost in the tumult.Another man, an usher,followed him out hurriedly, put his hand on hisshoulder, appeared to speak with earnestness, and drew him back intothe shadow of the entrance.  The crowd stillcheered.A third figure issued from the door, an old man in the robes ofmunicipal office.  He walked, or rather tottered feebly down the stepsto a carriage, whichhad drawn up to meet him.  Again there werecheers.  \"Godoy!  Godoy!  Bravo, Godoy!  Champion of the People!Hurrah, hurrah!\"It was the Mayor, one of thestrongest and most reputable members ofthe party of Reform.  He entered his carriage and drove through theopen space, maintained by the soldiery, into thecrowd, which, stillcheering, gave way with respect.The carriage was open and it was evident that the old man was painfullymoved.  His face was pale, his mouthpuckered into an expression ofgrief and anger, his whole frame shaken with suppressed emotion.  Thecrowd had greeted him with applause, but, quick to notice,were struckby his altered appearance and woeful looks.  They crowded round thecarriage crying: \"What has happened?  Is all well?  Speak, Godoy,speak!\"  Buthe would have none of them, and quivering with agitationbade his coachman drive the faster.  The people gave way slowly,sullenly, thoughtfully, as men whomake momentous resolutions.Something had happened, untoward, unforeseen, unwelcome; what this was,they were anxious to know.And then began a period ofwild rumour.  The President had refused tosign the writs; he had committed suicide; the troops had been orderedto fire; the elections would not take place, afterall; Savrola hadbeen arrested,--seized in the very Senate, said one, murdered addedanother.  The noise of the multitude changed into a dull dissonant humofrising anger.At last the answer came.  There was a house, overlooking the square,which was separated from the Chamber of Representatives only by anarrowstreet, and this street had been kept clear for traffic by thetroops.  On the balcony of this house the young man, Moret, the CivicCouncillor, now reappeared, andhis coming was the signal for a stormof wild, anxious cries from the vast concourse.  He held up his handfor silence and after some moments his words becameaudible to thosenearest.  \"You are betrayed--a cruel fraud--the hopes we had cherishedare dashed to the ground--all has been done in vain--  Cheated!cheated!cheated!\"  The broken fragments of his oratory reached farinto the mass of excited humanity, and then he shouted a sentence,which was heard by thousands andrepeated by thousands more.  \"Theregister of citizenship has been mutilated, and the names of more thanhalf the electors have been erased.  To your tents, ohpeople ofLaurania!\"For an instant there was silence, and then a great sob of fury, ofdisappointment, and of resolve arose from the multitude.At this moment thepresidential carriage, with its four horses, itspostilions in the Republican livery, and an escort of Lancers, movedforward to the foot of the steps, as there emerged"}

In the big living-roomat Ingleside Susan Baker sat down with a certain grim satisfactionhovering about her like an aura; it was four o'clock andSusan, who hadbeen working incessantly since six that morning, felt that she hadfairly earned an hour of repose and gossip. Susan just then wasperfectly happy;everything had gone almost uncannily well in thekitchen that day. Dr. Jekyll had not been Mr. Hyde and so had notgrated on her nerves; from where she sat shecould see the pride of herheart--the bed of peonies of her own planting and culture, blooming asno other peony plot in Glen St. Mary ever did or could bloom,withpeonies crimson, peonies silvery pink, peonies white as drifts ofwinter snow.Susan had on a new black silk blouse, quite as elaborate as anythingMrs.Marshall Elliott ever wore, and a white starched apron, trimmedwith complicated crocheted lace fully five inches wide, not to mentioninsertion to match. ThereforeSusan had all the comfortableconsciousness of a well-dressed woman as she opened her copy of theDaily Enterprise and prepared to read the Glen \"Notes\" which,as MissCornelia had just informed her, filled half a column of it andmentioned almost everybody at Ingleside. There was a big, blackheadline on the front page ofthe Enterprise, stating that someArchduke Ferdinand or other had been assassinated at a place bearingthe weird name of Sarajevo, but Susan tarried not overuninteresting,immaterial stuff like that; she was in quest of something really vital.Oh, here it was--\"Jottings from Glen St. Mary.\" Susan settled downkeenly,reading each one over aloud to extract all possiblegratification from it.Mrs. Blythe and her visitor, Miss Cornelia--alias Mrs. MarshallElliott--were chatting togethernear the open door that led to theveranda, through which a cool, delicious breeze was blowing, bringingwhiffs of phantom perfume from the garden, andcharming gay echoes fromthe vine-hung corner where Rilla and Miss Oliver and Walter werelaughing and talking. Wherever Rilla Blythe was, there waslaughter.There was another occupant of the living-room, curled up on a couch,who must not be overlooked, since he was a creature of markedindividuality, and,moreover, had the distinction of being the onlyliving thing whom Susan really hated.All cats are mysterious but Dr. Jekyll-and-Mr. Hyde--\"Doc\" forshort--wastrebly so. He was a cat of double personality--or else, asSusan vowed, he was possessed by the devil. To begin with, there hadbeen something uncanny about thevery dawn of his existence. Four yearspreviously Rilla Blythe had had a treasured darling of a kitten, whiteas snow, with a saucy black tip to its tail, which shecalled JackFrost. Susan disliked Jack Frost, though she could not or would notgive any valid reason therefor.\"Take my word for it, Mrs. Dr. dear,\" she was wont tosay ominously,\"that cat will come to no good.\"\"But why do you think so?\" Mrs. Blythe would ask.\"I do not think--I know,\" was all the answer Susan wouldvouchsafe.With the rest of the Ingleside folk Jack Frost was a favourite; he wasso very clean and well groomed, and never allowed a spot or stain to beseen on hisbeautiful white suit; he had endearing ways of purring andsnuggling; he was scrupulously honest.And then a domestic tragedy took place at Ingleside. Jack Frosthadkittens!It would be vain to try to picture Susan's triumph. Had she not alwaysinsisted that that cat would turn out to be a delusion and a snare? Nowtheycould see for themselves!Rilla kept one of the kittens, a very pretty one, with peculiarly sleekglossy fur of a dark yellow crossed by orange stripes, andlarge,satiny, golden ears. She called it Goldie and the name seemedappropriate enough to the little frolicsome creature which, during itskittenhood, gave noindication of the sinister nature it reallypossessed. Susan, of course, warned the family that no good could beexpected from any offspring of that diabolical JackFrost; but Susan'sCassandra-like croakings were unheeded.The Blythes had been so accustomed to regard Jack Frost as a member ofthe male sex that they couldnot get out of the habit. So theycontinually used the masculine pronoun, although the result wasludicrous. Visitors used to be quite electrified when Rillareferredcasually to \"Jack and his kitten,\" or told Goldie sternly, \"Go to yourmother and get him to wash your fur.\"\"It is not decent, Mrs. Dr. dear,\" poor Susanwould say bitterly. Sheherself compromised by always referring to Jack as \"it\" or \"the whitebeast,\" and one heart at least did not ache when \"it\" wasaccidentallypoisoned the following winter.In a year's time \"Goldie\" became so manifestly an inadequate name forthe orange kitten that Walter, who was just thenreading Stevenson'sstory, changed it to Dr. Jekyll-and-Mr. Hyde. In his Dr. Jekyll moodthe cat was a drowsy, affectionate, domestic, cushion-loving puss,wholiked petting and gloried in being nursed and patted. Especially did helove to lie on his back and have his sleek, cream-coloured throatstroked gently while hepurred in somnolent satisfaction. He was anotable purrer; never had there been an Ingleside cat who purred soconstantly and so ecstatically.\"The only thing Ienvy a cat is its purr,\" remarked Dr. Blythe once,listening to Doc's resonant melody. \"It is the most contented sound inthe world.\"Doc was very handsome; hisevery movement was grace; his posesmagnificent. When he folded his long, dusky-ringed tail about his feetand sat him down on the veranda to gaze steadily intospace for longintervals the Blythes felt that an Egyptian sphinx could not have madea more fitting Deity of the Portal.When the Mr. Hyde mood came uponhim--which it invariably did beforerain, or wind--he was a wild thing with changed eyes. Thetransformation always came suddenly. He would spring fiercely fromareverie with a savage snarl and bite at any restraining or caressinghand. His fur seemed to grow darker and his eyes gleamed with adiabolical light. There wasreally an unearthly beauty about him. Ifthe change happened in the twilight all the Ingleside folk felt acertain terror of him. At such times he was a fearsomebeast and onlyRilla defended him, asserting that he was \"such a nice prowly cat.\"Certainly he prowled.Dr. Jekyll loved new milk; Mr. Hyde would not touch milkand growledover his meat. Dr. Jekyll came down the stairs so silently that no onecould hear him. Mr. Hyde made his tread as heavy as a man's. Severalevenings,when Susan was alone in the house, he \"scared her stiff,\" asshe declared, by doing this. He would sit in the middle of the kitchenfloor, with his terrible eyes fixedunwinkingly upon hers for an hourat a time. This played havoc with her nerves, but poor Susan reallyheld him in too much awe to try to drive him out. Once shehad dared tothrow a stick at him and he had promptly made a savage leap towardsher. Susan rushed out of doors and never attempted to meddle with Mr.Hydeagain--though she visited his misdeeds upon the innocent Dr.Jekyll, chasing him ignominiously out of her domain whenever he daredto poke his nose in anddenying him certain savoury tidbits for whichhe yearned.\"'The many friends of Miss Faith Meredith, Gerald Meredith and JamesBlythe,'\" read Susan, rolling thenames like sweet morsels under hertongue, \"'were very much pleased to welcome them home a few weeks agofrom Redmond College. James Blythe, who wasgraduated in Arts in 1913,had just completed his first year in medicine.'\"\"Faith Meredith has really got to be the most handsomest creature Iever saw,\"commented Miss Cornelia above her filet crochet. \"It'samazing how those children came on after Rosemary West went to themanse. People have almost forgottenwhat imps of mischief they wereonce. Anne, dearie, will you ever forget the way they used to carry on?It's really surprising how well Rosemary got on with them.She's morelike a chum than a step-mother. They all love her and Una adores her.As for that little Bruce, Una just makes a perfect slave of herself tohim. Ofcourse, he is a darling. But did you ever see any child look asmuch like an aunt as he looks like his Aunt Ellen? He's just as darkand just as emphatic. I can't see afeature of Rosemary in him. NormanDouglas always vows at the top of his voice that the stork meant Brucefor him and Ellen and took him to the manse bymistake.\"\"Bruce adores Jem,\" said Mrs Blythe. \"When he comes over here hefollows Jem about silently like a faithful little dog, looking up athim from under hisblack brows. He would do anything for Jem, I verilybelieve.\"\"Are Jem and Faith going to make a match of it?\"Mrs. Blythe smiled. It was well known that MissCornelia, who had beensuch a virulent man-hater at one time, had actually taken tomatch-making in her declining years.\"They are only good friends yet, MissCornelia.\"\"Very good friends, believe me,\" said Miss Cornelia emphatically. \"Ihear all about the doings of the young fry.\"\"I have no doubt that Mary Vance seesthat you do, Mrs. MarshallElliott,\" said Susan significantly, \"but I think it is a shame to talkabout children making matches.\"\"Children! Jem is twenty-one and Faithis nineteen,\" retorted MissCornelia. \"You must not forget, Susan, that we old folks are not theonly grown-up people in the world.\"Outraged Susan, who detestedany reference to her age--not from vanitybut from a haunting dread that people might come to think her too oldto work--returned to her \"Notes.\"\"'Carl Meredith"}

Written from her own Memorandums . . .by Daniel DefoeTHE AUTHOR'S PREFACEThe world is so taken up of late with novelsand romances, that it willbe hard for a private history to be taken for genuine, where the namesand other circumstances of the person are concealed, and onthisaccount we must be content to leave the reader to pass his own opinionupon the ensuing sheet, and take it just as he pleases.The author is here supposed tobe writing her own history, and in thevery beginning of her account she gives the reasons why she thinks fitto conceal her true name, after which there is nooccasion to say anymore about that.It is true that the original of this story is put into new words, andthe style of the famous lady we here speak of is a littlealtered;particularly she is made to tell her own tale in modester words thatshe told it at first, the copy which came first to hand having beenwritten in languagemore like one still in Newgate than one grownpenitent and humble, as she afterwards pretends to be.The pen employed in finishing her story, and making it whatyou now seeit to be, has had no little difficulty to put it into a dress fit to beseen, and to make it speak language fit to be read.  When a womandebauched fromher youth, nay, even being the offspring of debaucheryand vice, comes to give an account of all her vicious practices, andeven to descend to the particularoccasions and circumstances by whichshe ran through in threescore years, an author must be hard put to itwrap it up so clean as not to give room, especially forviciousreaders, to turn it to his disadvantage.All possible care, however, has been taken to give no lewd ideas, noimmodest turns in the new dressing up of thisstory; no, not to theworst parts of  her expressions.  To this purpose some of the viciouspart of her life, which could not be modestly told, is quite left out,andseveral other parts are very much shortened.  What is left 'tishoped will not offend the chastest reader or the modest hearer; and asthe best use is made even ofthe worst story, the moral 'tis hoped willkeep the reader serious, even where the story might incline him to beotherwise.  To give the history of a wicked liferepented of,necessarily requires that the wicked part should be make as wicked asthe real history of it will bear, to illustrate and give a beauty tothe penitentpart, which is certainly the best and brightest, ifrelated with equal spirit and life.It is suggested there cannot be the same life, the same brightness andbeauty, inrelating the penitent part as is in the criminal part.  Ifthere is any truth in that suggestion, I must be allowed to say 'tisbecause there is not the same taste andrelish in the reading, andindeed it is too true that the difference lies not in the real worth ofthe subject so much as in the gust and palate of the reader.But as thiswork is chiefly recommended to those who know how to readit, and how to make the good uses of it which the story all alongrecommends to them, so it is to behoped that such readers will be morepleased with the moral than the fable, with the application than withthe relation, and with the end of the writer than with thelife of theperson written of.There is in this story abundance of delightful incidents, and all ofthem usefully applied.  There is an agreeable turn artfully giventhemin the relating, that naturally instructs the reader, either one way orother.  The first part of her lewd life with the young gentleman atColchester has so manyhappy turns given it to expose the crime, andwarn all whose circumstances are adapted to it, of the ruinous end ofsuch things, and the foolish, thoughtless, andabhorred conduct of boththe parties, that it abundantly atones for all the lively descriptionshe gives of her folly and wickedness.The repentance of her lover at theBath, and how brought by the justalarm of his fit of sickness to abandon her; the just caution giventhere against even the lawful intimacies of the dearest friends,andhow unable they are to preserve the most solemn resolutions of virtuewithout divine assistance; these are parts which, to a justdiscernment, will appear tohave more real beauty in them all theamorous chain of story which introduces it.In a word, as the whole relation is carefully garbled of all the levityand loosenessthat was in it, so it all applied, and with the utmostcare, to virtuous and religious uses.  None can, without being guiltyof manifest injustice, cast any reproachupon it, or upon our design inpublishing it.The advocates for the stage have, in all ages, made this the greatargument to persuade people that their plays areuseful, and that theyought to be allowed in the most civilised and in the most religiousgovernment; namely, that they are applied to virtuous purposes, andthatby the most lively representations, they fail not to recommendvirtue and generous principles, and to discourage and expose all sortsof vice and corruption ofmanners; and were it true that they did so,and that they constantly adhered to that rule, as the test of theiracting on the theatre, much might be said in theirfavour.Throughout the infinite variety of this book, this fundamental is moststrictly adhered to; there is not a wicked action in any part of it,but is first and lastrendered unhappy and unfortunate; there is not asuperlative villain brought upon the stage, but either he is brought toan unhappy end, or brought to be apenitent; there is not an ill thingmentioned but it is condemned, even in the relation, nor a virtuous,just thing but it carries its praise along with it.  What canmoreexactly answer the rule laid down, to recommend even thoserepresentations of things which have so many other just objectionsleaving againstthem?  namely, of example, of bad company, obscenelanguage, and the like.Upon this foundation this book is recommended to the reader as a workfrom everypart of which something may be learned, and some just andreligious inference is drawn, by which the reader will have somethingof instruction, if he pleases tomake use of it.All the exploits of this lady of fame, in her depredations uponmankind, stand as so many warnings to honest people to beware of them,intimatingto them by what methods innocent people are drawn in,plundered and robbed, and by consequence how to avoid them.  Herrobbing a little innocent child,dressed fine by the vanity of themother, to go to the dancing-school, is a good memento to such peoplehereafter, as is likewise her picking the gold watch fromthe younglady's side in the Park.Her getting a parcel from a hare-brained wench at the coaches in St.John Street; her booty made at the fire, and again atHarwich, all giveus excellent warnings in such cases to be more present to ourselves insudden surprises of every sort.Her application to a sober life andindustrious management at last inVirginia, with her transported spouse, is a story fruitful ofinstruction to all the unfortunate creatures who are obliged toseektheir re-establishment abroad, whether by the misery of transportationor other disaster; letting them know that diligence and applicationhave their dueencouragement, even in the remotest parts of the world,and that no case can be so low, so despicable, or so empty of prospect,but that an unwearied industrywill go a great way to deliver us fromit, will in time raise the meanest creature to appear again in the world,and give him a new case for his life.There are a few ofthe serious inferences which we are led by the handto in this book, and these are fully sufficient to justify any man inrecommending it to the world, and muchmore to justify the publicationof it.There are two of the most beautiful parts still behind, which thisstory gives some idea of, and lets us into the parts of them, buttheyare either of them too long to be brought into the same volume, andindeed are, as I may call them, whole volumes of themselves, viz.: 1.The life of hergoverness, as she calls her, who had run through, itseems, in a few years, all the eminent degrees of a gentlewoman, awhore, and a bawd; a midwife and amidwife-keeper, as they are called;a pawnbroker, a childtaker, a receiver of thieves, and of thieves'purchase, that is to say, of stolen goods; and in a word,herself athief, a breeder up of thieves and the like, and yet at last a penitent.The second is the life of her transported husband, a highwayman, who itseems, liveda twelve years' life of successful villainy upon the road,and even at last came off so well as to be a volunteer transport, not aconvict; and in whose life there is anincredible variety.But, as I have said, these are things too long to bring in here, soneither can I make a promise of the coming out by themselves.We cannot say,indeed, that this history is carried on quite to the endof the life of this famous Moll Flanders, as she calls herself, fornobody can write their own life to the full endof it, unless they canwrite it after they are dead.  But her husband's life, being written bya third hand, gives a full account of them both, how long theylivedtogether in that country, and how they both came to England again,after about eight years, in which time they were grown very rich, andwhere she lived, itseems, to be very old, but was not so extraordinarya penitent as she was at first; it seems only that indeed she alwaysspoke with abhorrence of her former life,and of every part of it.In her last scene, at Maryland and Virginia, many pleasant thingshappened, which makes that part of her life very agreeable, but theyarenot told with the same elegancy as those accounted for by herself;so it is still to the more advantage that we break off here.MOLL FLANDERSMy true name is sowell known in the records or registers at Newgate,and in the Old Bailey, and there are some things of such consequencestill depending there, relating to myparticular conduct, that it isnot be expected I should set my name or the account of my family tothis work; perhaps, after my death, it may be better known; atpresentit would not be proper, nor not though a general pardon should beissued, even without exceptions and reserve of persons or crimes.It is enough to tellyou, that as some of my worst comrades, who areout of the way of doing me harm (having gone out of the world by thesteps and the string, as I often expectedto go), knew me by the nameof Moll Flanders, so you may give me leave to speak of myself underthat name till I dare own who I have been, as well as who Iam.I have been told that in one of neighbour nations, whether it be inFrance or where else I know not, they have an order from the king, thatwhen any criminal is"}

EXTRACT OF A LETTER                             FROM GENEVA.                            ______________\"I breathe freely in the neighbourhood ofthis lake; the ground uponwhich I tread has been subdued from the earliest ages; the principalobjects which immediately strike my eye, bring to myrecollectionscenes, in which man acted the hero and was the chief object ofinterest. Not to look back to earlier times of battles and sieges,here is the bust ofRousseau--here is a house with an inscriptiondenoting that the Genevan philosopher first drew breath under itsroof. A little out of the town is Ferney, theresidence of Voltaire;where that wonderful, though certainly in many respects contemptible,character, received, like the hermits of old, the visits of pilgrims,notonly from his own nation, but from the farthest boundaries ofEurope. Here too is Bonnet's abode, and, a few steps beyond, the houseof that astonishing womanMadame de Stael: perhaps the first of hersex, who has really proved its often claimed equality with, the noblerman. We have before had women who have writteninteresting novels andpoems, in which their tact at observing drawing-room characters hasavailed them; but never since the days of Heloise have thosefacultieswhich are peculiar to man, been developed as the possible inheritanceof woman. Though even here, as in the case of Heloise, our sex havenot beenbackward in alledging the existence of an Abeilard in theperson of M. Schlegel as the inspirer of her works. But to proceed:upon the same side of the lake,Gibbon, Bonnivard, Bradshaw, andothers mark, as it were, the stages for our progress; whilst upon theother side there is one house, built by Diodati, the friend ofMilton,which has contained within its walls, for several months, that poetwhom we have so often read together, and who--if human passions remainthe same, andhuman feelings, like chords, on being swept by nature'simpulses shall vibrate as before--will be placed by posterity in thefirst rank of our English Poets. You musthave heard, or the ThirdCanto of Childe Harold will have informed you, that Lord Byron residedmany months in this neighbourhood. I went with some friends afew daysago, after having seen Ferney, to view this mansion. I trod the floorswith the same feelings of awe and respect as we did, together, thoseofShakespeare's dwelling at Stratford. I sat down in a chair of thesaloon, and satisfied myself that I was resting on what he had madehis constant seat. I found aservant there who had lived with him;she, however, gave me but little information. She pointed out hisbed-chamber upon the same level as the saloon anddining-room, andinformed me that he retired to rest at three, got up at two, andemployed himself a long time over his toilette; that he never went tosleepwithout a pair of pistols and a dagger by his side, and that henever ate animal food. He apparently spent some part of every day uponthe lake in an English boat.There is a balcony from the saloon whichlooks upon the lake and the mountain Jura; and I imagine, that it musthave been hence, he contemplated the storm somagnificently describedin the Third Canto; for you have from here a most extensive view ofall the points he has therein depicted. I can fancy him like thescathedpine, whilst all around was sunk to repose, still waking toobserve, what gave but a weak image of the storms which had desolatedhis own breast.  The sky ischanged!--and such a change; Oh, night!  And storm and darkness, ye are wond'rous strong,  Yet lovely in your strength, as is the light  Of a dark eye in woman!Far along  From peak to peak, the rattling crags among,  Leaps the lire thunder! Not from one lone cloud,  But every mountain now hath found a tongue,  AndJura answers thro' her misty shroud,  Back to the joyous Alps who call to her aloud!  And this is in the night:--Most glorious night!  Thou wer't not sent forslumber! let me be  A sharer in thy far and fierce delight,--  A portion of the tempest and of me!  How the lit lake shines a phosphoric sea,  And the big rain cometdancing to the earth!  And now again 'tis black,--and now the glee  Of the loud hills shakes with its mountain mirth,  As if they did rejoice o'er a young;earthquake's birth,  Now where the swift Rhine cleaves his way between  Heights which appear, as lovers who have parted  In haste, whose mining depths sointervene,  That they can meet no more, tho' broken hearted;  Tho' in their souls which thus each other thwarted,  Love was the very root of the fond rage  Whichblighted their life's bloom, and then departed--  Itself expired, but leaving; them an age  Of years all winter--war within themselves to wage.I went down to thelittle port, if I may use the expression, whereinhis vessel used to lay, and conversed with the cottager, who had thecare of it. You may smile, but I have mypleasure in thus helping mypersonification of the individual I admire, by attaining to theknowledge of those circumstances which were daily around him. Ihavemade numerous enquiries in the town concerning him, but can learnnothing. He only went into society there once, when M. Pictet took himto the house of alady to spend the evening. They say he is a verysingular man, and seem to think him very uncivil. Amongst other thingsthey relate, that having invited M. Pictetand Bonstetten to dinner,he went on the lake to Chillon, leaving a gentleman who travelled withhim to receive them and make his apologies. Another evening,beinginvited to the house of Lady D---- H----, he promised to attend,but upon approaching the windows of her ladyship's villa, andperceiving the room to be fullof company, he set down his friend,desiring him to plead his excuse, and immediately returned home. Thiswill serve as a contradiction to the report which you tellme iscurrent in England, of his having been avoided by his countrymen onthe continent. The case happens to be directly the reverse, as he hasbeen generallysought by them, though on most occasions, apparentlywithout success. It is said, indeed, that upon paying his first visitat Coppet, following the servant who hadannounced his name, he wassurprised to meet a lady carried out fainting; but before he had beenseated many minutes, the same lady, who had been so affectedat thesound of his name, returned and conversed with him a considerabletime--such is female curiosity and affectation! He visited Coppetfrequently, and ofcourse associated there with several of hiscountrymen, who evinced no reluctance to meet him whom his enemiesalone would represent as an outcast.Though Ihave been so unsuccessful in this town, I have been morefortunate in my enquiries elsewhere. There is a society three or fourmiles from Geneva, the centre ofwhich is the Countess of Breuss, aRussian lady, well acquainted with the agrémens de la Société, and whohas collected them round herself at her mansion.It was chiefly here,I find, that the gentleman who travelled with Lord Byron, asphysician, sought for society. He used almost every day to cross thelake byhimself, in one of their flat-bottomed boats, and return afterpassing the evening with his friends, about eleven or twelve at night,often whilst the storms wereraging in the circling summits of themountains around. As he became intimate, from long acquaintance, withseveral of the families in this neighbourhood, I havegathered fromtheir accounts some excellent traits of his lordship's character,which I will relate to you at some future opportunity. I must,however, free him fromone imputation attached to him--of having inhis house two sisters as the partakers of his revels. This is, likemany other charges which have been brought againsthis lordship,entirely destitute of truth. His only companion was the physician Ihave already mentioned. The report originated from the followingcircumstance: Mr.Percy Bysshe Shelly, a gentleman well known forextravagance of doctrine, and for his daring, in their profession,even to sign himself with the title of ATHeos inthe Album atChamouny, having taken a house below, in which he resided with Miss M.W. Godwin and Miss Clermont, (the daughters of the celebrated Mr.Godwin)they were frequently visitors at Diodati, and were often seenupon the lake with his Lordship, which gave rise to the report, thetruth of which is here positivelydenied.Among other things which the lady, from whom I procured theseanecdotes, related to me, she mentioned the outline of a ghost storyby Lord Byron. Itappears that one evening Lord B., Mr. P. B. Shelly,the two ladies and the gentleman before alluded to, after havingperused a German work, which was entitledPhantasmagoriana, beganrelating ghost stories; when his lordship having recited the beginningof Christabel, then unpublished, the whole took so strong a holdofMr. Shelly's mind, that he suddenly started up and ran out of theroom. The physician and Lord Byron followed, and discovered himleaning against amantle-piece, with cold drops of perspirationtrickling down his face. After having given him something to refreshhim, upon enquiring into the cause of his alarm,they found that hiswild imagination having pictured to him the bosom of one of the ladieswith eyes (which was reported of a lady in the neighbourhood wherehelived) he was obliged to leave the room in order to destroy theimpression. It was afterwards proposed, in the course of conversation,that each of the companypresent should write a tale depending uponsome supernatural agency, which was undertaken by Lord B., thephysician, and Miss M. W. Godwin.[1] My friend, thelady abovereferred to, had in her possession the outline of each of thesestories; I obtained them as a great favour, and herewith forward themto you, as I wasassured you would feel as much curiosity as myself,to peruse the ebauches of so great a genius, and those immediatelyunder his influence.\"[1] Since publishedunder the title of \"Frankenstein; or, The ModernPrometheus.\"                             THE VAMPYRE.  ________________________________________________________________                            INTRODUCTION.                              __________THE superstition upon which this tale is founded is very general inthe East.Among the Arabians it appears to be common: it did not,however, extend itself to the Greeks until after the establishment ofChristianity; and it has only assumed"}

The warmkitchen and the smellof coffee blended with the comfort of not havingto go to work. This was his Rest Period, the first for a long time, andhe was glad of it. He folded the secondsection back, sighing withcontentment.\"What is it?\" Mary said, from the stove.\"They pasted Moscow again last night.\" Taylor nodded his head inapproval. \"Gave ita real pounding. One of those R-H bombs. It's abouttime.\"He nodded again, feeling the full comfort of the kitchen, the presenceof his plump, attractive wife, thebreakfast dishes and coffee. This wasrelaxation. And the war news was good, good and satisfying. He couldfeel a justifiable glow at the news, a sense of pride andpersonalaccomplishment. After all, he was an integral part of the war program,not just another factory worker lugging a cart of scrap, but atechnician, one ofthose who designed and planned the nerve-trunk of thewar.\"It says they have the new subs almost perfected. Wait until they get_those_ going.\" He smacked hislips with anticipation. \"When they startshelling from underwater, the Soviets are sure going to be surprised.\"\"They're doing a wonderful job,\" Mary agreedvaguely. \"Do you know whatwe saw today? Our team is getting a leady to show to the schoolchildren. I saw the leady, but only for a moment. It's good forthechildren to see what their contributions are going for, don't youthink?\"She looked around at him.\"A leady,\" Taylor murmured. He put the newspaper slowlydown. \"Well,make sure it's decontaminated properly. We don't want to take anychances.\"\"Oh, they always bathe them when they're brought down from thesurface,\"Mary said. \"They wouldn't think of letting them down without the bath.Would they?\" She hesitated, thinking back. \"Don, you know, it makesmeremember--\"He nodded. \"I know.\"       *       *       *       *       *He knew what she was thinking. Once in the very first weeks of the war,before everyone hadbeen evacuated from the surface, they had seen ahospital train discharging the wounded, people who had been showeredwith sleet. He remembered the waythey had looked, the expression ontheir faces, or as much of their faces as was left. It had not been apleasant sight.There had been a lot of that at first, in theearly days before thetransfer to undersurface was complete. There had been a lot, and ithadn't been very difficult to come across it.Taylor looked up at his wife.She was thinking too much about it, thelast few months. They all were.\"Forget it,\" he said. \"It's all in the past. There isn't anybody upthere now but the leadys,and they don't mind.\"\"But just the same, I hope they're careful when they let one of themdown here. If one were still hot--\"He laughed, pushing himself awayfrom the table. \"Forget it. This is awonderful moment; I'll be home for the next two shifts. Nothing to dobut sit around and take things easy. Maybe we can take ina show. Okay?\"\"A show? Do we have to? I don't like to look at all the destruction, theruins. Sometimes I see some place I remember, like San Francisco.Theyshowed a shot of San Francisco, the bridge broken and fallen in thewater, and I got upset. I don't like to watch.\"\"But don't you want to know what's goingon? No human beings are gettinghurt, you know.\"\"But it's so awful!\" Her face was set and strained. \"Please, no, Don.\"Don Taylor picked up his newspapersullenly. \"All right, but thereisn't a hell of a lot else to do. And don't forget, _their_ cities aregetting it even worse.\"She nodded. Taylor turned the rough, thinsheets of newspaper. His goodmood had soured on him. Why did she have to fret all the time? They werepretty well off, as things went. You couldn't expect tohave everythingperfect, living undersurface, with an artificial sun and artificialfood. Naturally it was a strain, not seeing the sky or being able to goany place orsee anything other than metal walls, great roaringfactories, the plant-yards, barracks. But it was better than being onsurface. And some day it would end andthey could return. Nobody_wanted_ to live this way, but it was necessary.He turned the page angrily and the poor paper ripped. Damn it, the paperwas gettingworse quality all the time, bad print, yellow tint--Well, they needed everything for the war program. He ought to know that.Wasn't he one of the planners?Heexcused himself and went into the other room. The bed was stillunmade. They had better get it in shape before the seventh hourinspection. There was a one unitfine--The vidphone rang. He halted. Who would it be? He went over and clickedit on.\"Taylor?\" the face said, forming into place. It was an old face, grayand grim.\"This is Moss. I'm sorry to bother you during Rest Period, butthis thing has come up.\" He rattled papers. \"I want you to hurry overhere.\"Taylor stiffened. \"What isit? There's no chance it could wait?\" Thecalm gray eyes were studying him, expressionless, unjudging. \"If youwant me to come down to the lab,\" Taylorgrumbled, \"I suppose I can.I'll get my uniform--\"\"No. Come as you are. And not to the lab. Meet me at second stage assoon as possible. It'll take you about a halfhour, using the fast carup. I'll see you there.\"The picture broke and Moss disappeared.       *       *       *       *       *\"What was it?\" Mary said, at the door.\"Moss.He wants me for something.\"\"I knew this would happen.\"\"Well, you didn't want to do anything, anyhow. What does it matter?\" Hisvoice was bitter. \"It's all thesame, every day. I'll bring you backsomething. I'm going up to second stage. Maybe I'll be close enough tothe surface to--\"\"Don't! Don't bring me anything! Notfrom the surface!\"\"All right, I won't. But of all the irrational nonsense--\"She watched him put on his boots without answering.       *       *       *       *       *Mossnodded and Taylor fell in step with him, as the older man strodealong. A series of loads were going up to the surface, blind carsclanking like ore-trucks up theramp, disappearing through the stagetrap above them. Taylor watched the cars, heavy with tubular machineryof some sort, weapons new to him. Workers wereeverywhere, in the darkgray uniforms of the labor corps, loading, lifting, shouting back andforth. The stage was deafening with noise.\"We'll go up a way,\" Mosssaid, \"where we can talk. This is no place togive you details.\"They took an escalator up. The commercial lift fell behind them, andwith it most of the crashing andbooming. Soon they emerged on anobservation platform, suspended on the side of the Tube, the vast tunnelleading to the surface, not more than half a mileabove them now.\"My God!\" Taylor said, looking down the Tube involuntarily. \"It's a longway down.\"Moss laughed. \"Don't look.\"They opened a door and enteredan office. Behind the desk, an officerwas sitting, an officer of Internal Security. He looked up.\"I'll be right with you, Moss.\" He gazed at Taylor studying him.\"You'rea little ahead of time.\"\"This is Commander Franks,\" Moss said to Taylor. \"He was the first tomake the discovery. I was notified last night.\" He tapped aparcel hecarried. \"I was let in because of this.\"Franks frowned at him and stood up. \"We're going up to first stage. Wecan discuss it there.\"\"First stage?\" Taylorrepeated nervously. The three of them went down aside passage to a small lift. \"I've never been up there. Is it allright? It's not radioactive, is it?\"\"You're likeeveryone else,\" Franks said. \"Old women afraid of burglars.No radiation leaks down to first stage. There's lead and rock, and whatcomes down the Tube isbathed.\"\"What's the nature of the problem?\" Taylor asked. \"I'd like to knowsomething about it.\"\"In a moment.\"They entered the lift and ascended. When theystepped out, they were ina hall of soldiers, weapons and uniforms everywhere. Taylor blinked insurprise. So this was first stage, the closest undersurface level tothetop! After this stage there was only rock, lead and rock, and the greattubes leading up like the burrows of earthworms. Lead and rock, andabove that, wherethe tubes opened, the great expanse that no livingbeing had seen for eight years, the vast, endless ruin that had oncebeen Man's home, the place where he hadlived, eight years ago.Now the surface was a lethal desert of slag and rolling clouds. Endlessclouds drifted back and forth, blotting out the red Sun.Occasionallysomething metallic stirred, moving through the remains of a city,threading its way across the tortured terrain of the countryside. Aleady, a surfacerobot, immune to radiation, constructed with feverishhaste in the last months before the cold war became literally hot.Leadys, crawling along the ground, movingover the oceans or through theskies in slender, blackened craft, creatures that could exist where no_life_ could remain, metal and plastic figures that waged awar Man hadconceived, but which he could not fight himself. Human beings hadinvented war, invented and manufactured the weapons, even invented theplayers,the fighters, the actors of the war. But they themselves couldnot venture forth, could not wage it themselves. In all the world--inRussia, in Europe, America,Africa--no living human being remained. Theywere under the surface, in the deep shelters that had been carefullyplanned and built, even as the first bombsbegan to fall.It was a brilliant idea and the only idea that could have worked. Upabove, on the ruined, blasted surface of what had once been a livingplanet, theleady crawled and scurried, and fought Man's war. Andundersurface, in the depths of the planet, human beings toiled endlesslyto produce the weapons tocontinue the fight, month by month, year byyear.       *       *       *       *       *\"First stage,\" Taylor said. A strange ache went through him. \"Almost tothesurface.\"\"But not quite,\" Moss said.Franks led them through the soldiers, over to one side, near the lip ofthe Tube.\"In a few minutes, a lift will bring somethingdown to us from thesurface,\" he explained. \"You see, Taylor, every once in a while Securityexamines and interrogates a surface leady, one that has been abovefor atime, to find out certain things. A vidcall is sent up and contact ismade with a field headquarters. We need this direct interview; we can'tdepend on vidscreencontact alone. The leadys are doing a good job, butwe want to make certain that everything is going the way we want it.\"Franks faced Taylor and Moss andcontinued: \"The lift will bring down aleady from the surface, one of the A-class leadys. There's anexamination chamber in the next room, with a lead wall in thecenter, sothe interviewing officers won't be exposed to radiation. We find thiseasier than bathing the leady. It is going right back up; it has a jobto get back"}

Uh {disfmarker} Could open that anyway , think . Other design {disfmarker}anyway , we took as {disfmarker} we took w we took rubber as as the material last time . We also {gap} that you're just busy with it . Took the advanced chip tot uh implement the advanced features . Well , we discussed the design , no sharp corners , we rounded it off , like you see on the {gap} other screen , which isfine . Um {gap} we agreed that the colour should be b uh yellow and black . Yellow in the back because it's m trendy , more trendy than black anyway . So{vocalsound} then we ca yeah . We agreed that we would implement both the L_C_D_ and speech recognition , but I'll get to that in a moment . 'Cause somechanges in the finances have left us implications anyway . So so , like I said , we had no insight in finances , no prices ,Marketing: Hmm .Project Manager: but wehave 'em now , and it's bad . Anyway . We are Oh . Prototype presentation , well first you guys built the prototype . So {vocalsound} you could {gap}{disfmarker} could present that . But um let's see what be handy to do . Nee {disfmarker} no , you just go ahead and present the {disfmarker} w we'll scrap itlater because {disfmarker} {gap} What ?Industrial Designer: I think it's more or less the same as we had .User Interface: It's basically what we agreed upon,Marketing: Hmm ?Project Manager: Oh that'sUser Interface: but just a little bit more specified .Industrial Designer: No much sProject Manager: hasn't changedthat much , huh ?Industrial Designer: No no no , not at all .Project Manager: I didn't expect anyway {gap} . You just coloured it . {vocalsound}User Interface: Uhs Final design . {vocalsound} Basically in {gap} {disfmarker} what we discussed , cover and buttons will be made of rubber , yellow colour , black components ,as you can see right over here .Project Manager: Mm-hmm . I like the menu .User Interface: We chose a different type of colour for the menu . A bit darkeryellow so that it com really shows in this keypad .Project Manager: Mm-hmm .User Interface: If you put them all black , it's not really that good a contrast.Project Manager: And I suppose the the the yellow is not printed on the on the rubber . It's it's part of the rubber , I suppose .User Interface: So {disfmarker}ProbabProject Manager: I think that's more I think that's more durable anyway than printed on to {disfmarker}User Interface: Yeah . That's the beIndustrialDesigner: Hmm .User Interface: And it {disfmarker} I guess it's more easier to just paint it on the rubberIndustrial Designer: Yeah , of course .User Interface:than to uh {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: That's uh the integration story again .Marketing: Mm yeah . Okay .User Interface: So we have it's a bit round shaped,Project Manager: {vocalsound} Oh yeah .User Interface: that's what we had uh {disfmarker} We chose the buttons to be uh teletext , okay button , favouritechannel and the mute .Project Manager: Mm-hmm .User Interface: So that's basically what we chose there .Project Manager: Okay .User Interface: If you haveanything to add , please interrupt me .Industrial Designer: No , uh this is just a description of what we see there .Project Manager: Yeah .Industrial Designer: So{disfmarker}User Interface: {vocalsound} Oh .Industrial Designer: Speaks for itself .Marketing: Yeah .User Interface: That's pretty much it .Project Manager:{vocalsound} Okay . Now it's my time to ruin everything . Well , not ruin everything , but {disfmarker} no , nah .User Interface: Oh sorry . {vocalsound}ProjectManager: Finances , that's what we have here , what you drew . We have battery power , we have advanced chips and the sam the sensor . The sample sensorand uh {disfmarker} for speak recognition anyway . So which {disfmarker} you see the {disfmarker} which is de o one of the most expensive parts . So{disfmarker} well , we have sin one curve , {vocalsound} a design . Rubber design . And we had a special colour . Suppose yellow is a special colour . So just halfa Euro for {gap} {disfmarker} You have pushbuttons and an L_C_D_ display . You have the total of seventeen Euros in production cost ,Industrial Designer:Hmm .Project Manager: which is higher than the twelve and a half that we are permitted to use . So ,Marketing: Hmm .Project Manager: easy . What do we scrap. Well think I had the best solution that I came up with is just to s take out the speech recognition .Industrial Designer: I dUser Interface: I'd say that too.Industrial Designer: Yeah .Project Manager: Because the L_C_D_ has more support on customer side .Industrial Designer: Hmm .Project Manager: There areninety one percent of uh the people , or something like that . But ninety percent who favour an L_C_D_ display , and only sixty percent that favour speechrecognition . I think it's also harder to {disfmarker}User Interface: Uh we don't really have a extra function with the speech sample ,Marketing: Yeah .UserInterface: which you can't do with a normal remote control ,Industrial Designer: Hmm .Project Manager: {gap} . So I juUser Interface: which people already do .So {disfmarker}Project Manager: I took that out . So {disfmarker} and so it's still stuck with thirteen , so I had to take out the special colour I suppose . And ,yeah , I didn't see anything else I could take out . Yeah , I could take out the push-buttons ,Marketing: PushbutProject Manager: but we need those . So ,generally what I came up with , in order to be cou to to have production cost of twelve and a half Euros , spe scrap speech recognitionIndustrial Designer: Huh .{vocalsound} {vocalsound}Marketing: Special colour , yeah .Project Manager: and the separate covers can account for the {disfmarker} if people want it , we'lljust {disfmarker} then we'll do it in black . We'll just deliver it in black , have the {disfmarker} it has all the function that it's supposed to have , and if you want it{disfmarker} if you want the custom design , then you can buy the separate covers .User Interface: Well ,Project Manager: You make it d orange or whatever youwant .User Interface: I'd {disfmarker} I tend to disagree with you on that , because the trend issue was a big issue when we started designing this .ProjectManager: It was a big issue , but {disfmarker}User Interface: So can't we just basically extend it to thirteen ?Project Manager: I'll just go back . Uh let's just{disfmarker} let's see what {disfmarker} okay , let's just see what we {disfmarker} no , we we have to be under twelve and a half .Marketing: Yeah , it{disfmarker}Project Manager: It {disfmarker} it's not {disfmarker}Marketing: The pProject Manager: uh the project is a no-go if we go over twelve and a half,Industrial Designer: Okay , but there's another problem .Marketing: And the pProject Manager: so .User Interface: Okay .Industrial Designer: But there'sanother problem .Marketing: What {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: If we take another cover , for instance black , then we also need another button frame ,'cause black and black doesn't work obviously .Project Manager: I think you {disfmarker} that's what you were ass assigned to do really , to to see how b th boththose work together .Industrial Designer: Huh . Huh . Yeah .Project Manager: So I think {disfmarker} yeah , it's {disfmarker} I think it's y one of the{disfmarker} it's a good way to um to help people uh to make {disfmarker} to keep the product trendy too .Industrial Designer: Hmm .Project Manager: Justkeep {disfmarker} you just make new covers for the {disfmarker} for it ,Industrial Designer: Hmm .Project Manager: like we agreed before .Industrial Designer:Right . I agree .Project Manager: And everything that's left is is the basic function that uh that we want our product to have . Because the expensive parts are ineither the advanced chip . But we need that for the L_C_D_ display .User Interface: Yeah . We do .Industrial Designer: Mm-hmm .Project Manager: Then again ,we have the L_C_D_ display , which is also expensive . B yeah , but those go together . And yeah , we could take out the curve .Industrial Designer: Or say let'slose rubber , take plastic .User Interface: We could take out a curve indeed .Project Manager: Could {disfmarker} we could take out the curve . Is that an option?Industrial Designer: Yes .Marketing: {gap} .Project Manager: For you ?Industrial Designer: Although we are demolishing a little bit the style .Marketing: But uhthe {disfmarker} and {disfmarker}User Interface: I think the colour is more important than the really the curve ,Project Manager: Yeah .Industrial Designer: But{disfmarker}Project Manager: {vocalsound}User Interface: because if you just end up with an entirely black remote control {disfmarker}Project Manager: I thinkit's {disfmarker} it it does ruin it ,Marketing: Yeah . The people {disfmarker}Project Manager: but the fact that I t took that decision or tIndustrial Designer: Yeah.Project Manager: Took this example actually , not really decision , but the example is because we do offer the um {vocalsound} the possibility of adding yourown custom covers . So you can change {gap} any colour you want . So it's just you deliver a basic remote control with a possibility to change you into whateveryou want .Industrial Designer: Can we then not also uh change the material ? We take plastic for the basic coverProject Manager: You can take plastic ,IndustrialDesigner: and {disfmarker}Project Manager: but I d it's something that's stuck into my mind is that {disfmarker} something that really came forward from themarketing research is that people like the the the the squishy feeling of {disfmarker} the spongy feeling of the {disfmarker}Marketing: Spongy , yeah .IndustrialDesigner: We can put those to the to the other covers .Project Manager: and it really makes it {disfmarker} also makes it different from the existing remotecontrols ,Marketing: Yeah .Project Manager: because they're all plastic .Marketing: And {disfmarker}Project Manager: So which in in turn {disfmarker}{vocalsound}Industrial Designer: That's true .Project Manager: Rubber would increase durabilityIndustrial Designer: But {disfmarker}Project Manager: becauseit doesn't break .Industrial Designer: okay . But what do you then suggest we'd lose ? Because we have to lose two things and {disfmarker} I guess .ProjectManager: I al like I said , I lost the speech recognition and I lost the special colour ,Marketing: But {disfmarker} {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Yes .ProjectManager: which would make this black a black and grey .Industrial Designer: Okay , and that's enough ?Project Manager: Yeah , that's that that that's enough ,becauseUser Interface: So black and grey is okay .Project Manager: I guess those are the basic colours .Marketing: But {disfmarker}Project Manager: So{disfmarker} Oh .User Interface: {vocalsound} Which we can fabricate ,Industrial Designer: Hmm .Project Manager: I think those are basic col They want to{disfmarker}User Interface: okay .Marketing: The people want to pay for for it , so why why uh {vocalsound} do we have to keep us uh uh um on the twelve and"}
+{"doc_id":"doc_1","qid":"","text":"Project Manager: Is that alright now ? {vocalsound} Okay . Sorry ? Okay , everybody all set to start the meeting ? Okay , we've got half an hour for this one umto uh discuss the um functional design .Marketing: Could you plug me in ?User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound} Okay . Thanks .Project Manager:All ready to go ? Okay .Marketing: Okay . {vocalsound}Project Manager: Um so hopefully you've all been working away , and I've put the minutes of the lastmeeting in the project folder . Um so I guess just to to recap on uh what we did last time . Um kind of uh got to know each other a little bit and uh got familiarwith all the equipment and started to discuss um a bit about the project , you know , cost-wise how much how much money we had to s Um just want to tell youthat you have three new requirements , which is the {disfmarker} The first one {vocalsound} is that um uh the company's decided that teletext is outdated uhbecause of how popular the internet is . Nobody uses teletext very much anymore , so we don't really need to consider that in the functionality of the{disfmarker} of the remote control .Marketing: 'Kay .Project Manager: Um they've also suggested that we um we only use the remote control to control thetelevision , not the V_C_R_ , D_V_D_ or anything else . I think the worry is that if the project becomes too complex then it'll affect um how long it takes us to getit into into production , the time to market . So um , we're just gonna keep it simple and it'll just control the T_V_ .Marketing: Okay .Project Manager: And theother thing was that the company want the corporate colour and slogan to be implemented in the new design . Um I'm not entirely sure what the corporate colouris . It might be yellow , because there seems to be a lot of yellow everywhere .Marketing: And the slogan , like the actual written slogan , or just to embody theidea of the slogan ?Project Manager: Well that's the thing , I'm I'm not sure um {vocalsound} uh th because on the the company website , uh what does it say{disfmarker} Uh something {disfmarker}Marketing: 'Bout putting the fashion in electronics .Industrial Designer: Mm yeah .Project Manager: Yeah , I mean dothey {disfmarker} {vocalsound} Is that something they want actually written on it , 'cause it's quite long . Um or yeah , just the idea , but I'm not sure . So that'ssomething we can discuss as well . So those are the three things , just not to worry about teletext , uh only control the T_V_ , and um and uh incorporate the uhcolour and slogan of the company . Um so is everybody okay with any of that , or do you want me to recap at all ?Industrial Designer: Nope , we're all set .ProjectManager: Right um , time for presentations then . Who would like to go first ?User Interface: {vocalsound} I'll go first .Project Manager: Okay , cool .Marketing:Sure .User Interface: Alright um , can I st steal this from the back of your laptop ? Uh {disfmarker}Project Manager: Oh yeah , of course , yeah . G go on ahead.Marketing: {vocalsound}User Interface: {gap} so this is the technical functions design . Um {vocalsound} {disfmarker} Right {gap} to do the um {vocalsound}the design I have I've had a look online , I've had a look at the homepage , which has given us um some insp inspiration from previous products .ProjectManager: Mm-hmm .User Interface: Um I've had a look at the previous products to see what they offer and um I would like to ask you guys for um {vocalsound}your ideas about the design at the end of the meeting . Um unfortunately we're not allowed to talk outside the meeting room , so {disfmarker}Project Manager:{vocalsound} Okay .Marketing: Right .User Interface: Um , having a look at the existing products , I found out that um it tends to come in sort of two extremes ,there's either um a very complicated one that's got lots of buttons , lots of colours , very confusing , you don't know what you're doing . {vocalsound} Um in thatcase the the labelling tends to be very bad . Um there's an example I'll show you at the end , um {gap} sh show you now . Uh {disfmarker} {vocalsound}ProjectManager: {vocalsound} Alright {gap} .User Interface: {gap} here um the button there and there . This one's prog . Sorry . That one's perg and that one's prog ,and it doesn't really tell you what it does . Um , not sure if you had a a look at the other um control in that example . Um it's a very simple one . It's got only thebasic functions mm but um {vocalsound} it's the same size as the the hard to use one .Project Manager: Oop .User Interface: {vocalsound} Uh it looked a bitclunky . They're very big and not very much use for {gap} buttons . {vocalsound} Um , {vocalsound} and it's just very hard to access the advanced functions .There's there's nothing for instance for a slow motion button . Um , my own preferences , I prefer the the clunky one . Um it's very easy to use . Um butunfortunately it does lack the advanced functions which I I quite like having on the controls . {vocalsound} Um so I believe the the advanced functions shouldmaybe be hidden in a drawer , or something like tha {gap} from the bottom of it . So , {vocalsound} now I'd like to ask for your preferences . Um not sure ofhow long we've got , uh {disfmarker}Project Manager: Um . Well we can chat away for uh for five minutes or so I think at at most .Marketing: Mm-hmm .ProjectManager: Just a couple of minutes anyway .Marketing: M yeah , like a lot of a lot of what I've um read and prepared for this meeting fits in really closely withwhat with what Craig's just gone over . So in part I could I could give you some of my personal preferences but I could also th add some to this which is justabout sort of um sort of market research .Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Marketing: But anyway ,Project Manager: Shall we sh well we'll stick to kind of your areafor now .Marketing: um we might come to that later .Industrial Designer: Which which is the clunky one , the one on left or on the right?. .User Interface:{vocalsound} Um , the clunky one is the one on the right .Industrial Designer: Okay .Project Manager: Yeah .Marketing: Um clunky in what sense , like um hheavier ? Larger ?User Interface: Um I think it's supposed to be the same size , but um it's got much fewer buttons . It's , you know , it's very spreadoutMarketing: I see , so it's more just basic .Project Manager: Looks kind of {disfmarker} Yeah .User Interface: and kind of {disfmarker} you knowMarketing:Right , okay .User Interface: , I get the idea it'd be sort of about this size . {vocalsound} {gap} got very few buttons on it and {disfmarker}Marketing: Yeah.Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: Yeah . Sure .Project Manager: Well I think it's a valid point . I mean like the one on the left looks quite um quitecomplicated , and that P_R_T_ p P_R_O_T_ thing is incredibly confusing . Um so I see I see why yo you know you might prefer the simpler design , but yeah youdon't want to lose out on , you know , what it does , so maybe you knowMarketing: Mm-hmm .Project Manager: you know you get a lot of remote controls whereyou kind of flip the thing open ,Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: I think that's a good idea .Marketing: Mm-hmm .Project Manager: I think it's agood idea . {vocalsound}Marketing: Mm-hmm .User Interface: Um , {vocalsound} do we have any functions that um we'd want on it ?Marketing: Mm-hmm .UserInterface: I mean so far I've got um on and off , um switch the channel up and down , and put the volume up and down .Project Manager: Mm-hmm . Uh-huh.User Interface: Um they're just the the very basics you could use for a T_V_ .Project Manager: Uh-huh , and then actual numbers for channels as well , yeah.User Interface: Okay . Um , you say that's a h a required one or a requested one ? Would you likeMarketing: Which was that ?User Interface: um the channelslike the the numbers on thing , um {disfmarker}Marketing: Up {disfmarker} the numbers , or the up down ?Project Manager: God , I wou I would say that'srequired ,Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: I mean there's no way anybody's gonna buy a remote control these days when if you can't actuallyindividually select channels ,Marketing: Yeah .Project Manager: I mean would anybody disagree with that ?Marketing: Yeah .Project Manager: Um , what else , uh{disfmarker} {vocalsound} So don't need to worry about teletext ,Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: don't need to worry about V_C_R_ , uh any kind oflike display controls at all do you think we need to worry about ,Marketing: We don't ? No ?Project Manager: you know like brightness and contrast ?Marketing:Yeah . Well I think I think es essentially what we're doing right now is we're categorising . We're saying well we want this to be a product that offers all the sort ofmore tricky features but we want them to be in another area ?Project Manager: Mm .Marketing: Is that right ?Project Manager: Yeah .Marketing: Is that whatwe're we're doing ?User Interface: Um , yeah .Marketing: We're kind of like sorting them an Or are we actually eliminating things we just don't want the productto have ?User Interface: Um {disfmarker}Project Manager: I think {disfmarker} are you are you maybe kind of thinking what we absolutely have to have andwhat would be nice ?User Interface: Uh , to start with um sort of a bit both , um we need to find out exactly what we have to haveProject Manager: Mm-hmm.User Interface: um and after that we can add things if they're possible .Project Manager: Okay , right . Well , do you wanna maybe just , at this point decide onwhat we absolutely must have as a p as a function of this .Marketing: Yeah .Project Manager: Um , so so far , just to recap you've got volume and channel controland {disfmarker}Marketing: Yep .User Interface: There's um on and off , um volume and channel , and skip to certain channels with the numbers .ProjectManager: Right okay . Um {disfmarker}Marketing: Well , one one way I would look at this um would be that we a approach the different controls in terms of umlike control types , so that for the user it's very clear what they want to do where they go .Project Manager: Mm-hmm yeah .Marketing: Uh and also think maybea little bit about sorta w w what would just wanna be acc easily accessible .Project Manager: OkaMarketing: For example if we had audio controls , those could besomething people set up very rarely . Maybe they're un they're they're they're in a little area but covered up um ,Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Marketing: thingslike channel and volume um are used all the time , so we just have them right out on top , um very just very sort of self-explanatory . Um so maybe we need tothink about having three or more groupings of controls , you know like one which are just the the habitual ones that should be right within your natural grip . Andothers that are uh also availableIndustrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: and then others that are concealed .Project Manager: Okay .Marketing: Somethinglike that .Project Manager: Uh well , just to to wrap up quickly on this this little section {disfmarker} Have I just lost {disfmarker} Oh no . Um , uh do you thinkmaybe that's the only kind of uh essential requirements , and then maybe just things that would be nice if it could do would be things like audio set up anddisplay set up and things like that , maybe like a mute button , that sort of thing . Any of {disfmarker} you anything to add to that at all ?Marketing: Yeah"}

She {gap} .Marketing: I can't cut andpaste it into the other folder but {disfmarker}Project Manager: You can look at the final report , 'cause I have to record everything we are deciding and such , soI'm trying to write it down between everything else .Marketing: Move to meeting room .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Sometimes I have these pop-ups orthese sounds and there's nothing there ,Marketing: Yeah .Project Manager: Oh .Industrial Designer: and also with {disfmarker} I don't know how to usePowerPoint , so it takes me forever to get something done with it .Marketing: Yeah me too , {gap} .User Interface: {vocalsound} I I've got the same problem aswell . {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound} {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Yeah .Project Manager: Yeah .Marketing: Yeah.Project Manager: Here we go again . Welcome . Uh we have again three presentations and then we have to decide on what concepts the mobile phone has to uh{disfmarker} f the remote control has to support .Industrial Designer: ThiProject Manager: So who wants go .Industrial Designer: Mm-hmm .Marketing: Yes.Project Manager: Yes ?Industrial Designer: Who wants to start ?Marketing: Me first again or {disfmarker}Project Manager: Yeah sure . Doesn't matter .UserInterface: Oh . No . Yeah . No problemMarketing: yeah . Alright . Did you open it already or {disfmarker}Project Manager: No .Marketing: no . Ah . Ah . Yes . Sowelcome to the marketing presentation once again . Um this time about trendwatching . {vocalsound} Uh well there has been inv investigation again , in the inthe remote control market . Uh it shows a number of developments . Uh I will address them uh in a moment . Um fashion watch watchers uh have detected thetrends for young public , because that's our public . Um well fruit and vegetables will be will be the most important theme for clothing , uh shoes and furniture .And the feel of the material is expected to be spongey . So um the developments I will address them {disfmarker}Project Manager: {vocalsound}Marketing: ohyeah well this is the fruit and vegetables looks of fresh bright colours . So to give you an idea . Um well the developments ? Uh development one . {vocalsound}Uh well most important aspect for remote control happens to be a fancy look-and-feel . Instead of the current uh functional look-and-feel . Um well fancy standsfor an original look-and-feel of the case and the interface . And the second most important aspect is that a remote control should be technological uh innovative .Um well it stands for the use of technical features that do not exist in current remote controls . I think we pretty much covered that with our screen and um andspeech recognition ,Industrial Designer: Sound . Yeah yeah uh uh .Marketing: so I don't expect that to be a problem . And the third development um is that theremote control should be easy to use . Um {disfmarker} Well the first aspect uh was twice as important as the second aspect,w which was twice as important asthe third aspect .Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Marketing: So um that kind of gets you this ratios . So fancy look-and-feel uh is the most important uh point ofattention .Project Manager: {gap} .Marketing: Uh so the fruits and vegetables in combination with the spongey material . Um well technolog technologicalinnovation , we've covered that pretty much I guess . Um and easy to use , I don't think that will be problem . So my point of attention is especially this part.Industrial Designer: Yeah .Marketing: That this will be a crux . So that was the marketing uh presentation . I had only one document left .Industrial Designer:And shall I go first ?User Interface: Yeah . No . I I don't mi I don't mind .Industrial Designer: So I {disfmarker}User Interface: That's {disfmarker}ProjectManager: {vocalsound} Yeah yeah sure . No .Marketing: So kind of this {disfmarker}User Interface: Do you want to go first ? Okay .Industrial Designer: Yeah?Marketing: {vocalsound} So a k a small example .User Interface: {vocalsound} Yeah .Marketing: Kind of this this look .User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing:Uh nothing about the buttons but just sponge kind of thing , and and some fruit and coloursUser Interface: Yeah .Marketing: I dunno . {vocalsound} Just made aquick design .User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Cool . {vocalsound} Yeah you're just the user interface hmm ?User Interface: It's better than thanmy uh drawing . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Alright .Marketing: Alright . {vocalsound}User Interface: Yeah okay but I have to design the{disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Uh components .Project Manager: Yeah layout .User Interface: Yeah .Project Manager: Yeah okay .Industrial Designer: Oh no.Marketing: Yeah . It's okay .Project Manager: You probably opened it .Industrial Designer: Yeah true . Um {disfmarker}Project Manager: F_ five .Marketing: F_five .Industrial Designer: Alright . So {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: I'm dealing with the components design . Um let's see . I uh usedsome design examples we had uh from similar products . And I used uh possibilities from our manufacturing department about current components which willhave to be implemented in the design . That's why I had to , wanted to go first . Well they gave me um an idea about what people want . We're f mainly focusingon this group , but I want to make the distinction clear . Uh I could not drag the pictures into the the slides so s so I don't have examples of how it looks like . Butit comes down to what you uh what you think we should do with the spongey and the fruity looking uh type . If you , the young dynamic people want soft primarycolours uh , which looks like fruits you know , you can {disfmarker} and shapes that are curved and not uh solid straight lines anymore . So this basically umyeah goes on to what you were mentioning earlier . There is a lot of um {vocalsound} factors involved in choosing the components .User Interface:{vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: There's a lot of options that we have to discuss . Uh for example the energy source . we havefour types . The basic battery . Uh we have a hand dynamo , which we yeah we Dutch refer to it as the kneipgatt .Project Manager: Yeah .Industrial Designer: Uhthe kinetic provision of energy which means if you move the thing , if you shake it .Project Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Which will be fun fortoddlers right , if they wanna use the {disfmarker}Project Manager: {vocalsound}Marketing: Yeah .Industrial Designer: And uh of course solar cells . But I dunnohow we would use that into the design of the actual product .Marketing: Wi an indoors .Industrial Designer: So uh my {disfmarker}Project Manager: Yeah okay.Marketing: Oh .Project Manager: Calculator's can do it .Industrial Designer: yeah also also in you know countries where there's n isn't much light like inScandinavia , they wouldn't be y able to use it half of the year you know .User Interface: {vocalsound} Yeah .Marketing: {vocalsound} Yeah .Project Manager:Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: So that's not cool either . So um {vocalsound} for the uh a case , there's uh the traditional uncurved flat hard case . Single curved, which means that it has uh curves in one dimension . Or the double curved . Um {vocalsound} I wasn't able to finish my uh personal preferences sheet , butwell you know that we will have to go for the double curved 'cause it's daring and different from what we have now . Uh the case materials .Marketing: Yeah.Industrial Designer: Well we have all kinds of hard uh materials like the the hard plastic , the wood and the titanium . I would definitely go for rubber 'cause it fitsmost in what people wanna see nowadays .Marketing: Yeah .Industrial Designer: Um poo , this is a lot of text . I wasn't able to organise this yet . We have yeahseveral uh interface designs . Uh we can use a scroll buttons for the menus , but we already kind of decided to go for the f for the pushbuttons , for the the arrowbuttons .User Interface: Yeah . Pushbuttons . Yeah .Industrial Designer: So that's not really interesting .Marketing: Yeah .Industrial Designer: Electronics ? Yeah ,{vocalsound} maybe we wanna decide on what electronics to use {gap} the advanced chip I think is easiest to implement uh for the production , 'cause they theycan print it better . Um {disfmarker} Yeah . I think this is about it . Yeah I was working on some per personal preferences . I first uh chose for the battery , 'causeyeah I'm traditional and that's the most obvious , easiest choice to go to . But I really think that we should maybe uh think about the kinetic energy ,UserInterface: Yeah .Industrial Designer: where you have to move the thing to be able to use it .User Interface: Yeah .Project Manager: Yeah .User Interface: As anoptional uh feature .Marketing: Yeah .User Interface: Or combine uh both with a with one uhProject Manager: Uh I think you can only fit one uh source of energyon the {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Yeah maybe we {disfmarker}Marketing: I guess we can only choose one .User Interface: Okay .Industrial Designer: Ican imagine that the kinetic uh type energy source would be more expensive to make . But it is more longlasting , that the people don't have to ever buybatteries again .Project Manager: YeahMarketing: Yeah . And it's more fun .Project Manager: I didn't receive any info uh .Industrial Designer: And it's also morefun yeah . I always chuck my uh remote control around , so {disfmarker}Marketing: Yeah , just playing with itProject Manager: Yeah .Marketing: and{disfmarker} especially when the material's rubber . It can be done , I mean , you can't harm it ,Project Manager: S yeah it's safe .User Interface: {vocalsound}And throw it {gap} .Industrial Designer: Yeah y exactly .Marketing: so it's a perfect combination I guess .Industrial Designer: You don't have to be scared about"}

I think the most important thing is Morganwanted to talk about , uh , the ARPA {pause} demo .Professor D: Well , so , here 's the thing . Um , why don't we s again start off with {disfmarker} with , uh ,Yeah , I 'll get it . I 'll get the door . Um , I think we want to start off with the agenda . And then , given that , uh , Liz and Andreas are gonna be {pause} ten ,fifteen minutes late , we can try to figure out what we can do most effectively without them here . So {disfmarker} {vocalsound} So {disfmarker} so , one thingis , yeah , talk about demo ,Grad F: OK . So , uh {disfmarker} uh , IBM transcription status ,Professor D: IBM transcription . Uh , what else ?Grad F: ProfessorD:  What 's SmartKom ? SmartKom ?Grad F: Uh , we wanna talk about if w if we wanna add the data to the mar Meeting Recorder corpus .PhD E: The data . Thedata which we are collecting here .Professor D: What {disfmarker} what {disfmarker} what are we collecting here ?PhD E: Data ?Grad F: So why don't we havethat on the agenda and we 'll {disfmarker} we 'll get to it and talk about it ?PhD E: The SmartKom data ?Professor D: Yeah , right .PhD E: Yeah .Professor D: Uh ,right . Uh .Grad F: Uh , reorganization status .Professor D: Reorganization status .Postdoc A: Oh . Files and directories ?Professor D: Files and directories .Grad F:Yep . Uh - huh . Absinthe , which is the multiprocessor UNIX {disfmarker} Linux . I think it was {pause} Andreas wanted to talk about segmentation andrecognition , and update on SRI recognition experiments .Professor D: Um {disfmarker}Grad F: And then if ti if there 's time I wanted to talk about digits , but itlooked like we were pretty full , so I can wait till next week .Professor D: Right . OK . Well , let 's see . I think the a certainly the segmentation and recognition wewanna maybe focus on when An - Andreas is here since that was particularly his thing .PhD E: And also the SmartKom thing should bProfessor D: SmartKom also, Andreas . Absinthe , I think also he has sort of been involved in a lot of those things .Grad F: At least ,Professor D: Yeah .Grad F: yeah , he 'll t he 'll probably beinterested .Professor D: Yeah .Grad F: But .Professor D: Um So , I mean , I think they 'll be inter I 'll be interested in all this , but {disfmarker} but , uh , probably, if we had to pick something {pause} that we would talk on for ten minutes or so while they 're coming here . Or I guess it would be , you think , reorganizationstatus , or {disfmarker} ?Grad F: Yeah . I mean , I think , Chuck was the one who added out the agenda item . I don't really have anything to say other than thatwe still haven't done it .PhD B: Well , I mean , I uh {disfmarker} {vocalsound} just basically that {disfmarker}Grad F: So .PhD B: maybe I said {disfmarker}maybe we said this before {disfmarker} just that we met and we talked about it and we sort of have a plan for getting things organized and {disfmarker}PostdocA: And I {disfmarker} and I think a crucial part of that is the idea of {disfmarker} of not wanting to do it until right before the next level zero back - up so thatthere won't be huge number of {disfmarker} of added ,PhD B: Right .Postdoc A: uh {disfmarker}Grad F: Right .PhD B: That {disfmarker} that was basically it .Not {disfmarker} not much @ @ {disfmarker}Grad F: Although Dave basically said that if we wanna do it , just tell him and he 'll do a d level zero then .PostdocA: Yeah . Uh - huh . Oh , excellent .Grad F: So .Postdoc A: Oh , good .PhD B: Oh , so maybe we should just go ahead and get everything ready , and{disfmarker}Grad F: Yep . So , I think we do need to talk a little bit about {disfmarker} Well , we don't need to do it during this meeting .PhD B: Yeah .Grad F:We have a little more to discuss . But , uh , we 're {disfmarker} we 're basically ready to do it . And , uh , I have some web pages on ts {comment} more of thebackground . So , naming conventions and things like that , that I 've been trying to keep actually up to date . So . And I 've been sharing them with U - d UWfolks also .Postdoc A: I 'm sorry , you 've been what ? Showing them ?Professor D: OK .Postdoc A: Sharing them .Grad F: Sharing them with the UW folks.Postdoc A: OK . OK .Professor D: OK . Well , maybe uh , since that {disfmarker} that was a pretty short one , maybe we should talk about the IBM transcriptionstatus . Someone can {vocalsound} fill in Liz and Andreas later . UhGrad F: OK . So , we , uh {disfmarker} we did another version of the beeps , where weseparated each beeps with a spoken digit . Chuck came up here and recorded some di himself speaking some digits , and so it just goes \" beep one beep \" andthen the phrase , and then \" beep two beep \" and then the phrase . And that seems pretty good . Um , I think they 'll have a b easier time keeping track of wherethey are in the file .PhD E: And we have done that on the {pause} automatic segmentations .Grad F: And we did it with the automatic segmentation , and I don'tthink {disfmarker} We ne we didn't look at it in detail . We just sent it to IBM . We {disfmarker} we sorta spot - checked it .PhD B: I listened to {pause} probably, uh , five or ten minutes of it from the beginning .PhD E: Yeah .Grad F: Oh , really ?PhD B: Yeah .Grad F: OK .PhD B: And {disfmarker}Grad F: I sorta spot -checked here and there and it sounded pretty good . So . I think it 'll work .Professor D: OK .Grad F: And , uh , we 'll just hafta see what we get back from them .Uh {disfmarker}PhD B: And the main thing will be if we can align what they give us with what we sent them . I mean , that 's the crucial part .Grad F: Right .PhDB: And I think we 'll be able to do that at {disfmarker} with this new beep format .Grad F: Yep . Well , I think it 's also they are much less likely to d have errors.PhD B: Mm - hmm .Grad F: I mean , so the problem wi last time is that there were errors in the transcripts where they put beeps where there weren't any , or{disfmarker} and they put in extraneous beeps .PhD B: Right . Yeah .Grad F: And with the numbers there , it 's much less likely .PhD B: Yeah , one interestingnote is {disfmarker} uh , or problem {disfmarker} I dunno if this was just because of how I play it back , I say , uh , SND - play and then the file , every once in awhile , @ @ {comment} uh , like a beep sounds like it 's cut into two beeps .PhD E: Yeah . Into two pieces .PhD B: Yeah , and I {disfmarker} I dunno if that 's an, uh , artifact of playback {disfmarker}PhD E: Yeah . Yep .PhD B: bu uh , I don't think it 's probably in the original file . Um , but , uh {disfmarker}PhD E: Irecognize that , too . Yeah .Grad F: Ha . That 's interesting . I didn't hear that .PhD B: Yeah . But with this new format , um , that hopefully they 're not hearingthat , and if they are , it shouldn't throw them .PhD E: Yep .PhD B: So .Grad F: Well , maybe we better listen to it again , make sure , but , I mean , certainly thesoftware shouldn't do that ,PhD B: Yeah . That 's what I thought .Grad F: so .Postdoc A: Mm - hmm .PhD B: I it 's probably just , you know , mmm , somehow theaudio {pause} device gets hung for a second ,PhD E: Yeah . Some latency or something .Grad F: Hiccups .PhD E: Yeah ?Postdoc A: As long as they have onenumber , and they know that there 's only one beep maximum {vocalsound} that goes with that number .PhD B: or {disfmarker}PhD E: Yeah .PhD B: Yeah .Right .Grad F: Yeah . The only {disfmarker} the only part that might be confusing is when Chuck is reading digits .PhD B: Right .PhD E: Yep .Postdoc A: Well ,you know , actually , are we having them {disfmarker}PhD B: So {vocalsound} thGrad F: \" Seven four eight beep seven beep {vocalsound} eight three two \".Postdoc A: Yeah , but are we having them do digits ?Grad F: Yes . Because , uh , we don't {disfmarker} we didn't {disfmarker} In order to cut them out we 'dhave to listen to it .PhD B: We {disfmarker} we didn't cut those out .PhD E: Yeah . They are not transcribed yet . So . Yeah .Postdoc A: OK .PhD E: Yeah .Grad F:And we wanted to avoid doing that ,Postdoc A: OK .Grad F: so we {disfmarker} they are transcribing the digits .Postdoc A: OK .PhD B: We can {disfmarker} wecan ignore it when we get it back ,Grad F: Although we could tell them {disfmarker} {comment} {vocalsound} we could tell them , if you hear someone readinga digits string just say \" bracket digit bracket \"PhD B: huh .Grad F: and don't bother actually computing the di writing down the digits .PhD B: Yeah .Postdoc A:That 'd be great . That 'd be what I 'm having the transcribers here do , cuz it can be extracted later .Grad F: Yep . And then I wanted to talk about {disfmarker}but as I said I {disfmarker} we may not have time {disfmarker} what we should do about digits . We have a whole pile of digits that haven't been transcribed.Professor D: Le - let 's talk about it , because that 's {disfmarker} that 's something that I {disfmarker} I know Andreas is less interested in than Liz is ,Grad F:OK .Professor D: so , you know . It 's good {disfmarker}Grad F: Do we have anything else to say about transcription ? About IBM stuff ?PhD B: Uh , Brian{disfmarker} I {disfmarker} I {vocalsound} sent bresset {disfmarker} {vocalsound} {vocalsound} sent Brian a message about {pause} {vocalsound} themeeting and I haven't heard back yet . So . I g hope he got it and hopefully he 's {disfmarker}Grad F: OK .Postdoc A: Hmm .PhD B: maybe he 's gone , I dunno .He didn't even reply to my message . So . I should probably ping him just to make sure that he got it . Grad F: Alright . So , we have a whole bunch of digits , ifwe wanna move on to digits .Professor D: Actually , maybe I {disfmarker} One {disfmarker} one relate more related thing in transcription . So that 's the IBMstuff . We 've got that sorted out . Um , how 're we doing on the {disfmarker} on the rest of it ?Postdoc A: We 're doing well . I {disfmarker} I hire {disfmarker} I've hired two extra people already , expect to hire two more .Grad F: Hmm .Postdoc A: And , um , {vocalsound} I 've prepared , um , uh , a set of five which I 'm{disfmarker} which I 'm calling set two , which are now being edited by my head transcriber , {vocalsound} in terms of spelling errors and all that . She 's alsochecking through and mar and {disfmarker} {vocalsound} and monitoring , um , the transcription of another transcriber . You know , I mean , she 's goingthrough and doing these kinds of checks .Professor D: Uh - huh .Postdoc A: And , I 've moved on now to what I 'm calling set three . I sort of thought if I do it insets {disfmarker} groups of five , then I can have , like , sort of a {disfmarker} a parallel processing through {disfmarker} through the {disfmarker} the current.Professor D: Uh - huh .Postdoc A: And {disfmarker} and you indicated to me that we have a g a goal now , {vocalsound} for the {disfmarker} for the , um ,{nonvocalsound} {vocalsound} the , uh , DARPA demo , of twenty hours . So , I 'm gonna go up to twenty hours , be sure that everything gets processed , andreleased , and {disfmarker} {pause} {comment} and that 's {disfmarker} that 's what my goal is . Package of twenty hours right now , {vocalsound} and thenonce that 's done , move on to the next .Professor D: Yeah , uh , so twenty hours . But I guess the other thing is that , um , that {disfmarker} that 's kindatwenty hours ASAP because the longer before the demo we actually have the twenty hours , the more time it 'll be for people to actually do cool things with it"}

Right . Um . So just to kick off the meeting basically um so we're working now for a real reaction , this is uh so it {vocalsound} right . Just got anagenda to set out what we're gonna try to accomplish in this particular first meeting . Um {vocalsound} We're gonna just do a quick opening and we canhopefully all get acquainted with one another um then we're gonna start {disfmarker} talk a little bit about tool training . Essentially that means getting used tothe only thing that we haven't tried out yet , the whiteboard . {vocalsound} Um {vocalsound} we've got a general plan for the project how we're gonna go aboutaccomplishing this and then just a bit of discussion close up . Um I {gap} guess you know game or something um {vocalsound} in real life um so yeah basically Iwant to {disfmarker} I'm just gonna {disfmarker} you got {disfmarker} of course you can discuss that , I'm thinking about um {vocalsound} uh proposing thatsince we've got this weird blend of ourselves and our roles that we just don't ask , don't tell . {vocalsound} Um so um if you say something about marketing ,right , sorted , um {vocalsound} y isMarketing: {vocalsound} You're just gonna believe me ,Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: we'll go from there.Project Manager: Exactly . Um I meanMarketing: Fair enough .Project Manager: obvi if if you guys {disfmarker} if if at the same time if you {disfmarker} likelogically if something doesn't {disfmarker} like if I'm like we're gonna sell a remote control that's the size of this paper book you know um you say like well thatdoesn't seem like such a good idea because of X_ obviously go with it . I mean we'll discuss it but I'm not gonna ask do you know that or uh yeah it seemslikeMarketing: Prove itProject Manager: {vocalsound} yeah yeah exactlyMarketing: yeah , okay .Project Manager: so , 'cause we're {disfmarker} what we're sortof role playing is y g yeah you're gonna tap into your own knowledge as well {vocalsound} um . And that's the same for your when we do introductions I meanum and you talk about your background you know have fun , you know maybe you went to um {vocalsound} uh you know maybe i you're like in Maine you wentto U_C_S_B_ but you wanna say you went to Harvard or something like that , why not , you knowIndustrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing:{vocalsound}Project Manager: you can {disfmarker} this is you know I guess we can have a little bit of fun with it . So are you guys okay with that does thatseem logical ?Industrial Designer: Oh yeah , that's fine .User Interface: Sure .Marketing: Works for me .Project Manager: Sweet . Cool . So I guess that that{vocalsound} we're totally {disfmarker} we're making a remote control which is thrillingIndustrial Designer: Right .Project Manager: um uh but the idea is thatwe can make something based on the whole corporate model I dunno if you guys had time to check the {disfmarker} in real life I dunno if you guys uh{vocalsound} checked the um {vocalsound} uh the corporate website . Um we've got to make something as fashionable as possible , that's kind of the corporatestrategy is we're gonna try to take ordinary stuff that nobody really thinks about and try to make it nice you know like John Lewis nice or you know if you go toDebenham's or something . So um basically we are reinventing the wheel but we wanna try to do it in a user friendly um slick sleek kind of way . {vocalsound}Um way we're gonna go about doing that is basically at first we're gonna start on the basics . And that's where I'm gonna need you guys the User InterfaceDesigners and the um {vocalsound} um the other designer that I can't remember ,Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: the the I_D_ and the U_I_D_ rightum {vocalsound} the Industrial DesignerIndustrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: hey right onalright ,User Interface: Mm .Project Manager: getting into it umMarketing: There you go .Project Manager: to guide me and guide us on this project 'cause you'regonna be {disfmarker} you're g you guys are the bottom you know you're like no you can't do that you can't have you know X_ and Y_ um at the same time .And then um we'll work up from what is necessary to more like what would be good , you know like um {vocalsound} I I think you guys probably got the sameemails I did but the idea of um , yes a coffee pot needs to be able to hold coffee but it's also better if it's not like really cheap glass so that it if you touch it youhurt your hand , or something like that . Um and so we'll work up from there and um then we'll meet on and talk about it and then finally we'll incorporate as kindof the last stage you know where you guys build or tell me {vocalsound} tell us what's possible and then you tell us what we can um hope for and what way to gotake the the the take the basics and make it nicer and then ov obviously uh the U_I_D_ and the I_D_ you know you you can keep on the you know sort of at thecutting edge of how to get about maximising what is possible um to try t of sync it all up . So that's the detailed design . So it's a three stage kind of thing . Umright so for now just for th the white board um basically uh just to get used to it , I haven't tried it yet either um I'm just gonna start and um mm carry like fiveremotes around um and just write down {disfmarker} I'm just gonna write down one of the names of my um desert discs you know if you {disfmarker} if youwere trapped on a desert island and you could only bring five C_D_s along with you name one of them that you could , not all five , if you wanna write all five gofor it but name one of them that you could um .

Welcome to the fifth meeting of the House of Commons SpecialCommittee on the COVID-19 Pandemic.  Pursuant to the order passed on Monday, April20, the committee is meeting today to consider ministerialannouncements, to allow members of the committee to present petitions, and to question ministers, including the Prime Minister, about the COVID-19 pandemic.Tomorrow, May8, Dr.AndreaMcCrady, Dominion Carillonneur, will give a special recital to mark the 75th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day. Victory in EuropeDay, VE Day, commemorates the formal acceptance of Germany's surrender by allied forces at the end of the Second World War. While the pandemic prevents usfrom gathering to celebrate in person, tomorrow at noon the voice of our nation will ring out in remembrance of this milestone in our history. Today's meeting istaking place by video conference. The proceedings will be made available via the House of Commons website. Just so you are aware, the webcast will alwaysshow the person speaking rather than the entire committee. I would like to remind members that, as in the House of Commons or committee, they should nottake photos of their colleagues or film the proceedings. In order to facilitate the work of the interpreters and to allow the meeting to proceed smoothly, I wouldask you to follow some instructions. The video conference will be interpreted as in normal meetings of committees and in the House. In the lower part of yourscreen, you can choose the language: floor, English or French. Please wait until I call on you by name before you begin to speak. When you are ready to speak,click on the microphone icon to activate your microphone, or hold the space bar down while you are speaking. If you release the bar, your microphone will revertto mute, just like a walkie-talkie. Honourable members, I would like to remind you that if you want to speak English, you should be on the English channel. If youwant to speak French, you should be on the French channel. Should you wish to alternate between the two languages, you should change the channel to thelanguage that you are speaking each time you switch languages. Please direct your remarks through the chair. Should you need to request the floor outside ofyour designated speaking time, you should activate your mike and state that you have a point of order. If a member of the committee wishes to intervene on apoint of order raised by another person, you should use the raised hand function to indicate to the chair that you wish to speak. To do this, click on the participantbutton at the bottom of your screen. When the list appears, you will see the raised hand option beside your name. Speak slowly and clearly at all times. When youare not speaking, leave your microphone on mute. It is highly recommended that you use a headset with a microphone. You have to remember to switchlanguages. Should any technical challenges arise, for example, in relation to interpretation, please advise the chair immediately by raising a point of order, andthe technical team will work on resolving them. Please note that we may need to suspend during these times in order to correct a problem. I want to remind thehonourable members to mute their microphones when they are not speaking. If you get accidentally disconnected, please try to rejoin the meeting with theinformation you used to join initially. If you are unable to rejoin, please contact our technical support team. Before we get started, please note that in the topright-hand corner of your screen is a button that you can use to change views. Speaker view allows you to focus on the person currently speaking; gallery viewallows you to see a larger number of participants. You can click through the multiple pages in the gallery view to see who is on and how many more participantsthere are. I understand there are no ministerial announcements today. We will now proceed to presenting petitions for a period not exceeding 15 minutes. I wouldlike to remind members that any petition presented during the meeting of the special committee must have already been certified by the clerk of petitions. Inaddition, to ensure a petition is considered properly presented, the certificate of the petition and each page of the petition for a petition certified in a previousParliament should be mailed to the committee no later than 6 p.m. the day before. Now we'll go to presenting petitions. Mr. Genuis.Mr. Garnett Genuis (SherwoodParkFort Saskatchewan, CPC): Mr. Chair, five years ago when Parliament passed Bill C-14, then justice minister Jody Wilson-Raybould said that it represented afinely tuned balance between access and safeguards. It also included a five-year review. Petitioners on the first petition I'm presenting are very concerned to seeBill C-7 before Parliament, which removes safeguards ahead of that five-year review. Petitioners specifically mention their concerns about the removal of themandatory 10-day reflection period, which can already be waived in certain circumstances. They are concerned about reducing the number of witnesses requiredto oversee it and ensure that a request has been properly made. I commend that petition to the consideration of the House. The second and final petition that Iwill be presenting today is with respect to Senate Bill S-204. This would make it a criminal offence for a person to go abroad and receive an organ from a personwho did not consent. This responds specifically to concerns about organ harvesting in the People's Republic of China involving Falun Gong practitioners andincreasing concerns that this is being or about to be applied to Uighurs as well. Canada can and should take action on this. Petitioners are noting that in theprevious Parliament there were bills on this, Bill C-350 and Bill S-240. Now, in this Parliament there is a bill, Bill S-204, and the petitioners hope that this 43rdParliament will be the one that gets it passed.The Chair: We will go to Ms. May.Ms. Elizabeth May (SaanichGulf Islands, GP): Thank you, Mr. Chair. It's an honour.This is my first occasion to present a petition in our virtual format of the COVID-19 committee. Thank you to you and your staff, Mr. Chair, for developing asystem that allows us to present petitions electronically. The petition I am presenting today, which was previously approved, is from a number of constituentswho are concerned that we pursue the Paris Agreement to hold the global average temperature increase to no more than 1.5C. The Paris Agreement itselfembeds in it the concept of Just Transition with a capital J and a capital T, the concept of just transition ensuring fairness and support for all workers in the fossilfuel sector. The petitioners call upon the Government of Canada to move forward with an act to ensure just transition and to ensure adequate funding so thatworkers and communities dependent on the fossil fuel sector receive meaningful support to ensure security in their lives in the transition to more sustainableenergy use. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.The Chair: Those are all the petitions for today. I want to thank the honourable members for their usual collaboration andnow we'll go on toMr. James Bezan (SelkirkInterlakeEastman, CPC): On a point of order, Mr. Chair, on Tuesday, at our COVID-19 committee of the wholemeeting, I was asking a question which started at 12:56:06 and was cut off at 1:00:32, so I still have 34 seconds of time remaining in my question time of fiveminutes. You said it could be no more than five minutes but that I had up to five minutes. Thirty-four seconds leaves a lot of time to have a quick question and aquick response. If you believe that my time was unjustly cut off and that it was unfair treatment of the official opposition when we were raising our points oforder, I would ask that the 34 seconds be tacked on to the opening round for the opposition and credited to Rosemarie Falk, who will be leading off for theConservatives.The Chair: Normally what happens is the chair uses judgment, and with 35 seconds, there isn't enough time obviously for a full question or answer,most of the time. I'll take it under advisement. I can't allot it. I want everyone to know that I do have a timer next to me and I am timing the questions, and I willbe treating the answers the same way. If it's a 25-second question, it will be a 25-second answer. Thank you for bringing that up. I believe that issue has beenremedied. We've taken a little bit of the chair's ability to give judgment on it, but it will be from now on. Thank you.Mr. James Bezan: Mr. Chair, 34 seconds is aconsiderable amount of time to do a short question and a short answer.The Chair: I appreciate the advice. Thank you, Mr. Bezan. We'll now proceed to thequestioning of ministers. I would like to remind the honourable members that no member will be recognized for more than five minutes at a time and thatmembers may split their time with one or more members by so indicating to the chair. Ministers responding to the questions should do so by simply turning ontheir microphone and speaking. Our first questioner is Ms. Falk.Mrs. Rosemarie Falk (BattlefordsLloydminster, CPC): Mr. Chair, yesterday, Elizabeth May and theleader of the separatists declared oil to be dead. It's certainly not dead, but it's dying under the Trudeau government. Will the Prime Minister stand up forCanada's energy workers, or does he agree with the fringe left and those who want to destroy our country?Ms. Elizabeth May: I have a point of order.The Chair:Go ahead, Ms. May.Ms. Elizabeth May: Mr. Chair, I believe that the language that the honourable member just used is unparliamentaryMr. Garnett Genuis: That'snot a point of order.Ms. Elizabeth May: We can have differences of opinion, but it is absolutely  Some hon. members: Debate.  Ms. Elizabeth May: unacceptableand violates my privileges to  An hon member: Debate.  Ms. Elizabeth May: No, it's not debate. I would ask the chair to rule on that, not the member from theConservative Party. It is unacceptable to assert that anyone who wants to make a point about our economy is trying to destroy the country. This allegation is aviolation of my privilege.   An hon. member: She was also named by theThe Chair: Order. I didn't recognize anyone. I don't know who is speaking, so I'll juststart talking myself. I want to remind honourable members to have respect in their questions and in their answers. When you refer to someone, please refer tothem respectfully. This is a committee of the House, and I would expect no less of the honourable members. We'll go to the right honourable Prime Minister. Youhave 16 seconds.Right Hon. Justin Trudeau (Prime Minister): Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. As I pointed out this morning in my press conference, we cannotmove forward on a transformation of our energy sector without supporting the workers in that energy sector. We need their innovation and we need their hardwork if we are going to lower our emissions, if we are going to reach ourThe Chair: We'll go to Ms. Falk again.Mrs. Rosemarie Falk: Mr. Chair, it has been 43 dayssince the finance minister promised Canada's energy sector liquidity through the Business Development Bank of Canada. For 43 days the finance minister hasfailed to deliver on that promise. These delays cost jobs and they are costing us Canadian businesses. If the government doesn't step up to support our energy"}

Um and uh b in no particular order because ev everybody is uh {vocalsound} just as vital to thisprojectMarketing: Mm .Project Manager: um {vocalsound} I'll just go round th the table , Andrew , marketing , um m Kendra with the uh um {disfmarker}designing the the the User Interface uh uh and Kate with the the industrial design . Um . {vocalsound} What's uh {disfmarker} the the th th project is is here todo , is is to to get this this project up and moving , ev everybody is is free to uh say wh whatever they want , uh everybody has a contribution to make and uh{vocalsound} everybody feel free to interrupt me at any time to to say what you want to say . Um in in terms of the immediate meeting the uh um {gap}everybody knows everybody else , everybody's worked for the the company for a while , if if an anybody feels that they need to say more about themselvesplease do , if if if anybody wants to b briefly give their their background so that everybody's quite clear what everybody uh {disfmarker} uh everybody'sexperience is please do so . Uh in fact I'd I'd I'd welcome anybody to uh say something briefly about themselves , in fact we will do that by by going round thetable quickly and and saying what what contribution you {disfmarker} you're looking to make . So we'll start with Andrew .Marketing: Oh my name's Andrew I'ma {disfmarker} I'm the Market Research person for this uh for this meeting and this uh project for creating this new remote control and uh yeah I'll be uhpresenting information statistics on what people want to want to uh get from this new design , what people want to {gap} like {disfmarker} and from a fashionpoint of view and the practicality point of view .Project Manager: Right {vocalsound} Kendra .User Interface: {vocalsound} I'm Kendra and I'm the Us UserInterface Designer and um {vocalsound} I haven't had a whole lot of experience in this kind of thing before but I'm m so I'll be {vocalsound} working on thedesign .Project Manager: Right at least means you haven't got any preconceived ideas so .User Interface: Right . Yep , I'm just open to being creative .IndustrialDesigner: {vocalsound} Uh I'm Katie ,Project Manager: Yep , good .Industrial Designer: I'm the Industrial Designer and I'll just be I guess presenting about thethe inter workings of our little remote control and uh {disfmarker} yeah .Project Manager: Okay , very very quickly , um {vocalsound} this {disfmarker} I don'twant to make this meeting too structured because the the whole idea is that it's a um you know a think tank . Everybody says what they {gap} what they want tosay , uh and we don't want to be constrained by uh kind of convention or uh uh slides on screens or or anything else um but um briefly um th th this is what wewant to do . The the remote control needs to be original , there has to be something about it that uh other remote controls don't have so that as soon as peoplesee it they think um yes that's different , uh I want one , um and that goes along with being trendy , uh uh you know the I want it uh scenario . User-friendly asas we all know , remote controls can be uh uh very user-unfriendly so we want to make ours one that people can pick upMarketing: {vocalsound}ProjectManager: and think oh yes that's {disfmarker} it's obvious how that works , uh and they also want to look at the price and think oh yeah that's something that{disfmarker} I may not need another remote control but uh it's such a nice one I'm gonna have one . And last but not least , or indeed first of all , it it must makethe company money , and we make the company money by producing what the consumer wants . The uh the further work to be done is i the um the functionaldesign , uh what it uh what it must actually do , the uh conceptual design , uh how we actually present that to the consumer and th the the detailed design i is uhhow we get that into production . Uh now th the main design tool that we have available to us at the moment is is the white board and uh uh {vocalsound} let usvery quickly do what i what it says in the in the in the prompt slide here , um {disfmarker} In fact I suggest to avoid everybody untangling themselves from theuh the the wires , that we don't do that , um So I I {disfmarker} everybody knows what whiteboard is so we'll um uh we'll do a virtual drawing on the on on thewhiteboard of of your your own uh uh favourite animal , but le let's go round the table , your favourite animal .Marketing: Um , badger . {vocalsound}ProjectManager: Mm and why ?Marketing: Uh it's it's got nice contrast with black {vocalsound} and white and uh {vocalsound}Project Manager: Uh-huh .Marketing: Ifeel they're {gap} underdog kind of statusProject Manager: Oh rightMarketing: and they're , theProject Manager: uh my my wife says my beard looks like abadger's arse 'cause of the the white streaks in it . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound} Um probably a duckMarketing:{vocalsound}Project Manager: Kendra .User Interface: I just {disfmarker} I li I like the way they look and they're just nice animals and I like how they can fly orswim or walk around or whatever .Project Manager: Uh-huh . Right , okay .Industrial Designer: Uh 's horses , no particular reason why {vocalsound} .ProjectManager: Uh-huh , {gap} fair enough yeah .User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: I'm not sure that I've got any favourite animal to be quite honest , Ithink homo sapienIndustrial Designer: {vocalsound} {vocalsound}Project Manager: because of their {disfmarker} their uh overall ability to uh uh{disfmarker}User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: Make mobile phones and T_V_ remotes {vocalsound} {disfmarker}Project Manager: Sorry ?IndustrialDesigner: {vocalsound}Marketing: to make T_V_ remotes {vocalsound} .Project Manager: Indeed absolutely yes ,Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}ProjectManager: tha that's um {disfmarker} Okay and uh w we need to keep in mind here that the uh {disfmarker} we want to sell this for for twenty five Euro um , wewant to m make an overall profit for the the company of fifty million Euros so we're we're looking at selling a lot of these um ag across the the entire planet andand we're looking at a gross profit of fifty percent . {vocalsound} It needs to cost twelve Euros fifty to make . Um so we're not only looking at a a very trendyoriginal product , we're looking at making it at a very good price . Um , okay , um {vocalsound} would anybody like t like to to start by giving their o um sort ofquick views of of current remote controls .User Interface: Well I think {disfmarker} I find a lot of them really complicated to use with all the different buttons anduh it's handiest when you have one that works both the D_V_D_ player or whatever and the T_V_ as well . Um , but that {disfmarker} it's easy to {gap} if youcan switch back and forth instead of having to {vocalsound} press a bunch of different buttonsProject Manager: No .User Interface: and {disfmarker} so I thinkit's is best when they're clearly labelled and you can see which buttons you're supposed to use , you know .Project Manager: Any any thoughts about buttons orany oth other way of approaching the p the uh the problem ? Or anybody else , strong feelings about remote controls ? Are there you know , bad ones they'veused or good ones they've used or ones that they've lost and never found again ?Industrial Designer: Um {disfmarker} {vocalsound} I think it's important thatyou should be able to {disfmarker} when you when you press the buttons it'll actually pick up the signals from kind of anywhere and you shouldn't have to likecontort yourself and twist your remote control to get it {disfmarker} the T_V_ to actually pick up the signal .Marketing: Yeah .User Interface: Yeah .Marketing:Think a lot of the time , remotes that come with T_V_ players and {gap} T_V_s and D_V_ players , like they aren'tIndustrial Designer: Mm .Marketing: like anarea that's put a lot of effort into , they're very boring , very plain .Industrial Designer: Mm .Marketing: Like it's very {disfmarker} a very {disfmarker} like ummaking a a stylish remote control would be a very like {disfmarker} Easily put us one step ahead of the current competition .Project Manager: Um what so whwhat's in in {disfmarker} what particular style features are you thinking about ?Marketing: {vocalsound} Um . Something that looks looks {disfmarker} doesn'tlook like remote control .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: So if you want , {vocalsound} something that looks like uh {disfmarker} something thatmakes you think oh what's this ? Like this pen doesn't really look like a pen ,Project Manager: Uh-huh .Marketing: but it makes you think oh .Project Manager:{gap} . YeahMarketing: So , sorry that's a bit vague {vocalsound} .Project Manager: d no I mean do you think there's a risk if it doesn't look like remote control ,{vocalsound} people won't see it as a remote control um and uh {disfmarker}Marketing: Uh I suppose suppose that's up to the marketing to to make makepeople aware of the product .Project Manager: Uh-huh . Any other thoughts about um th the physical appearance of a {disfmarker} of remote controls ?UserInterface: I think something that's comfortable to hold because sometimes you get the remote controls that are just those big , rectangular thingsIndustrialDesigner: Mm .Marketing: Mm .User Interface: and uh they're kind of awkward to hold onto ,Marketing: {vocalsound}User Interface: so something that's morecomfortable that fits in a person's hand better .Project Manager: I mean th the thing that i immediately comes to mind is computer mouses which um I mean yyou get all sorts of shapes in the shopsIndustrial Designer: Mm .User Interface: Yeah .Marketing: Yeah .Industrial Designer: Mm .Project Manager: and s youknow some quite fancy ones um than the {vocalsound} {disfmarker}User Interface: Yeah .Project Manager: some from personal experience which lookniceIndustrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: but {vocalsound} aren't particularly comfortable . Um {vocalsound} any thoughts about buttons or flatscreens or uh uh {disfmarker}User Interface: Yeah .Marketing: Well from the mouse idea you could , {gap} remote is a piece of plastic with the big rubberbuttons sticking out of it which you press , whereas if you want {gap} {disfmarker} could all be flat and the buttons are very kind of almost subtle that instead ofbeing raised out of the device uh you push into device you see , like a mouse button .Project Manager: Yes , I mean {vocalsound} the only thing is if if you'rewatching television in a in a a darkened room um you need to be able to uhIndustrial Designer: Mm .Marketing: I suppose .Project Manager: fi find the button"}

Right , my name's Adam Duguid , we're here because of real reaction , um , we have in thegroupMarketing: Oh , Ebenezer Ademesoye . Would you like me to spell that ?Project Manager: Um , yeah ,Marketing: SProject Manager: go for it mate.Marketing: Um , N_E_Z_Project Manager: N_ E_ Z_ .Marketing: E_R_ .Project Manager: Ebenezer . And your role is ?Marketing: I'm the Marketing Expert.Project Manager: You're the Marketing Expert , okay . Next we have ?Industrial Designer: Tarik Rahman . T_A_R_I_K_ .Project Manager: T_ R_ I_ K_ . And yourrole in this is ?Industrial Designer: Industrial Designer .Project Manager: Industrial Designer . And , lastly we have ?User Interface: Uh , Dave Cochrane .ProjectManager: And you're going to be the User Interface ,User Interface: User Interface Defin Designer , yes .Project Manager: is it ? Designer . Okay . Right . This isthe agenda for today's meeting . As you can see , w opening , acquaintance , tool training , project plan discussion , and closing . Um , we already got n throughopening , and partially through acquaintance . So , the reason we're here , we're gonna design a new remote control , as you probably all know . The very broadoverview is original , trendy , and user-friendly . Course , we'll have to go into a bit more um detail than that , but uh {vocalsound} personally I think that theoriginal is gonna be a very key aspect to this design . Um , there's a lot of remote controls out there anyway , so we're gonna need something that's really gonnaset it apart . This is how today seems to be going to work . We're gonna have the three kay phases , as you've probably already been told , the functional ,architectural , and the detailed design . Um {disfmarker} First one's gonna be covering the user requirement spec , technical functions , working design . Secondseems to be conceptual components , properties , materials , and the last one is a detailed analysis of our design so far . Of course , you've all got the similaremails , I believe , right . {vocalsound} What can I say ? Ebenezer , you wanna have a {disfmarker} you wanna draw your favourite animal {vocalsound}?Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: Sure . {vocalsound} Whiteboard . 'Kay . S okay . I will make this quick , since we don't have much time .{vocalsound} Um . {vocalsound} 'Kay , so it's not the best picture in the world .Project Manager: {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound} Here we have anelephant . First point , begins with an E_ , same like Ebenezer . Also , elephants have a very good memory , much like myself ,Industrial Designer:{vocalsound}Marketing: and I can't remember back when I used to live back in Nigeria , but I think I used to have a pet elephant . So elephants are big , strongand gentle , and they have great memories , and they begin with the letter E_ , just like Ebenezer .Project Manager: Brilliantly done . Thank you .{vocalsound}Marketing: Thank you .Project Manager: Tarik , would you like to have a shot at a bit of artistry ?Industrial Designer: {gap} .Project Manager: Oh ,um ,Marketing: Oh . Oh {vocalsound} ohProject Manager: you can clip them to your belt .Industrial Designer: Do we take them off ?Marketing: I think yougaIndustrial Designer: Oh right ,Project Manager: You should also l um have your {disfmarker} the lapel mic on as well .Industrial Designer: okay .Marketing:The little {disfmarker} The the {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Ah-ha .Marketing: Oh that's good , we can clip them on . Okay . Yeah ,Industrial Designer:{vocalsound} Now where do I put the {disfmarker}Marketing: Just um somewhere {disfmarker}Project Manager: Yep , the {gap} , it's just across there , that'sit . Yep .Industrial Designer: Is this supposed to be clipped as well ?Project Manager: Yeah .Marketing: I think so .Project Manager: It'll follow you if you{disfmarker}Marketing: Yeah . There you go .Project Manager: You can probably just stick it in your pocket for now , I wouldn't worry too much . Should havegood range .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Uh , destroying your elephant here .Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer:{vocalsound} {vocalsound} {vocalsound} Uh , here we have a tiger . Uh {disfmarker} I've always loved tigers . They're just {disfmarker} they're big , they'rebiggest cats , uh I did a project on cats in the wild when I was a kid and uh it was my favourite cat , just 'cause it was {disfmarker} looks the best , the stripes ,orange . My dad used to talk about {disfmarker} he's from Bangladesh so he used to tell me all about them when he was {disfmarker} when I was a kid . And uhthey're just the most feared of of uh animals in the wild . So uh that's why I like them . Didn't say an anything about me really but {vocalsound}Project Manager:{vocalsound} Excellent , thank you very much . Dave , if you'd like to uh have a dash .User Interface: Um {disfmarker} {vocalsound} Um , the monkey , um .The one f uh {disfmarker} in fact this is a {gap} somewhat oblique reference in fact to uh {disfmarker} well my {disfmarker} I have a three uh three y year olddaughter who h who who who is affectionately known as Miss Monkey . Um , monkeys have attitude . Which I think is a good thing . And I mean fr {vocalsound}and from uh from the point of view of sort of the study of human evolution they and other primates are terribly interesting . Um , so I like monkeys . And and thth th th thi thi this one seems to have perhaps more attitude than most .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Cheers . Hardly what I'd call the bestdrawing in the world but it'll do for now . Also not quite as feared as your average tiger , but uh cats are one of my favourite animals , they're very independent ,they're snotty as hell at the best of times , and uh , what can you say , you got to love those qualities in an animal . Right . I think we've all managed to masterthe whiteboard there by looks of it , so , on to it . Project finance . As you can see , twelve point five Euros per unit . That's not a terrible lot as far as I'm aware ,and we're hoping to sell them for twenty five . If we're aiming for fifty million Euros we're gonna have to be selling an awful lot of them .Marketing: Oh , that wasprofiting , that was an amount , so that's the amount made ,Project Manager: Yep .Marketing: okay .Project Manager: Well , fifty million , and if you're makingtwelve point five Euros on each one , then , awful lot need to be sold .Marketing: Yeah .Project Manager: Okay . Now we better actually just get on with the uhthe meat of the project . So I'm gonna guess that we've all used remote controls . Any ideas of where you think a new remote control could go into this market?User Interface: Well , one thing I'm aware of is , th there uh um at the sort of v very high price end of the market there's there's a em emerging market for sortof touch screen L_C_D_ remotes that can be uh programmed in m much more sophisticated ways than sort of conventional models , so you get the sort of youget um you {vocalsound} you can redesign the interface to your own needs , you can programme in macros , and you get a much greater degree um um I meanyou get in these sort of {vocalsound} three in one , five in one , whatevers , but you can get integration between the different uh the the the diff the differentthings that it's designed to control , to a much greater extent , and you can have one uh you know one macro to turn the uh you know turn the T_V_ to the rightchannel , get the uh re uh rewind the tape in the V_C_R_ and get it to play once it's rewound , for instance .Project Manager: Okay .User Interface: Um b itoccurs to me there might be a niche for uh for a remote that aimed towards some of that sort of functionality but using a just conventional push button design .And therefore putting it into a um well much lower price bracket .Project Manager: Okay , yeah , tha that's true , with the price range we're looking at , going fora touch screen would probably be possibly out of our {disfmarker}User Interface: Absolutely prohibitive ,Project Manager: yeah .User Interface: yeah .Marketing:Oh .Project Manager: But you think uh again something to control multiple units in uh a simple fashion .User Interface: Yeah , I mean I wouldn't like to say you g{vocalsound} I mean you get ones that you can switch between multiple units , but something that could um operate between multiple units in a more integratedfashion . Some {gap} and ideally something into which it would have some at least limited facility for {vocalsound} um running macros .Project Manager: Wouldthe the idea something along the lines of , one on button would turn on say the video recorder , the T_V_ , maybe the sound system as well , all in one go , isthat kind of {disfmarker}User Interface: For instance , um let's say oh oh um , or um you know you pr uh you press uh say the play button for the D_V_D_ playerand it turns the T_V_ on and onto the right channel as well , umProject Manager: Okay , that sounds like a a good strong idea . Um {disfmarker}Marketing:'KayProject Manager: {vocalsound} Any takes on this ?Marketing: Well um I've noticed that uh gaming c is becoming quite popular with television , um when Iwas younger we used to e play games using our cable , using the cable subscribed the cable providers ,User Interface: Mm-hmm .Marketing: but our remotecontrols would get worn out really easily , and {vocalsound} the remote control was not a great kind of keyboar , um keypad , for playing games .ProjectManager: Okay .Marketing: So perhaps one that was more um specialised for game playing or interactive television . They they've recently brought out this newremote control , for people to set their favourite channels , or um to record things . Instead of people entering in what time things start , you simply stri slide abar to say what time it begins ,Project Manager: Okay .Marketing: and slide another bar to say what time it ends , you know that's {disfmarker}Project Manager:Yeah I've heard {disfmarker} I've seen the bar-code design before ,Industrial Designer: Mm .User Interface: Mm-hmm .Project Manager: yeah .Marketing: Yeah ,it's it's taken out the {disfmarker} Y you don't have to be uh really clever to use a remote control . I think for gaming , you know you want you want some bigbuttons for up , down , left and right , shoot .Project Manager: {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound} Uh , you wanna be able to change angles in interactivetelevision , so you need buttons to change the television angle , the camera angles and stuff like that .Project Manager: Okay , wellIndustrial Designer: 'Kay.Project Manager: we're beginning to run out of time now , so , we've got a couple of ideas ,Marketing: Yeah .Project Manager: we can {disfmarker} we'll have towork fast , um , alright as you can see we've got thirty minutes until the next meeting , so {vocalsound} we'll have to try and decide on some of the basicfunctionality , um , how the user interface might work , that'll be a key aspect especially if the idea of um some kind of macros facility because you have toprogram it , you have to have a lot of response back , or at least some kind . Um {disfmarker}User Interface: Mm-hmm .Project Manager: And we're gonnamaybe n try and have to figure outMarketing: What the user wants uh .Project Manager: what the user wants , yes .Marketing: Okay .Project Manager: Um , right"}
+{"doc_id":"doc_9","qid":"","text":"Project Manager: All set ? Okay . Cool . Right . So um basically I'm just gonna go over real quickly um some news I've just got from the board on how we'resupposed to do with this um {vocalsound} remote control . And then I'm gonna turn over to you guys to make brief presentations um on what you've found andthen we'll have a bit of discussion . So basically uh what I've just found out from the board I dunno if you guys got this email as well but it needs to be televisiononly . So no {disfmarker} we're not doing D_V_D_ , we're not doing anything else ,Marketing: Okay .Project Manager: it's just gonna be a television remote .{vocalsound} Um it also needs to have the company colours included in it .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound} Um so that's red andblack . And it has to have the slogan , case you guys forget the slogan it's , we put fashion in electronics . Um and no teletext . I'm not sure what teletext is butI'm assuming you guys do , so we don't wanna include that um in this particular design . {vocalsound} For reasons that I don't really know . There's {disfmarker}but it's the board so there you go . So basically um given those guidelines which will have some effect on how we design we'll discuss it later I mean 'cause it'stelevision only we'll be able to change our uh {vocalsound} um well we can s sacrifice more function for a better television remote . {vocalsound} Anyway . SoI'm gonna turn over to the Industrial Designer uh to go ahead and make a presentation on {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Okay . So do I unplug this bit here?Project Manager: Oh , right yeah .Marketing: Gotta plug you in .Project Manager: Yep . Might have to hit function F_ eight but it looks like it's gonna come up .Yep . Cool .Industrial Designer: Okay . Right . That's page one of my presentation .Project Manager: Brilliant .Marketing: Very nice . For your first PowerPoint it'slovely .Industrial Designer: So the uh method . We're gonna have to understand how remote controls work and res uh successfully complete this project . Umremote control works as follows . This is all pretty basic stuff you guys . Um sends message to another system , so there's an energy source involved in that like abattery or solar power , something along those lines , there's an integrated circuit , which is the microchip , um and that actually compose the messages andusually the way a a remote control works is it sends infrared bits to another system . A user interface controls the chip , basically that's the casing and thebuttons and um accordingly the messages as well . So my findings , um I just did a preliminary study here and uh I found that too much metal in remote designcould potentially cause interference with the ability of the remote to send commands . And too much metal can cause remotes to behave unexpectedly byreceiving false signals . Um too much metal is used sometimes and people pick up radio signals and the like , and there's also the possibility of the remotecatching on fire and injuring the customer , just think of those lawsuits , that'd be really bad .Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound} 'Kay.Industrial Designer: Therefore I suggest primarily plastic construction . Um , components . Just some ideas that I had , um , energy source , it's kinda hip to beeco friendly so I thought maybe we could do something with solar power with an alkaline battery backup . Um the user interface , I was {disfmarker} since wecan't use metal I was thinking maybe a high grade recycled plastic .Project Manager: Mm .Industrial Designer: The chip , um , silicon based chip I don't really seeany way around that , we can't really be different in that respect . Um , the sender well I'm thinking infrared 'cause it is the industry standard , multi channel ,that's a word I made up , I don't really know what it means .Project Manager: 'Kay . Fair enough .Marketing: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Uh PAL andN_T_S_C_ compatible and uh probably a two hundred foot range .Project Manager: 'Kay .Industrial Designer: Uh and the receiver of course is any number ofelectronic devices . Um but in this case it'll only be T_V_s . Um personal preferences , I really think that we should use plastic as opposed to metal , um , thecompany simply can't afford this kinds of lawsuitsMarketing: Fine .Industrial Designer: which adm admittedly is gonna come at the cost of a certain aestheticvalue ,Project Manager: {vocalsound} Is is there a way that we can use um modern types of polymers , or mo modern types of plasticsIndustrial Designer: 'causewe were thinking {disfmarker}Project Manager: that maybe do have some kind of aesthetic value um like if a white {disfmarker} like if we talk about like well likeon the lapt on these laptops and other ones they use a a pretty nice ,Industrial Designer: Right .Marketing: It needs , yeah .Project Manager: you can do i is theresome kind of nice colo der quality plastic that we can work with ?Industrial Designer: Yeah that shouldn't be a problem . Um for example the plastic they have onyour laptop there is something that's perfectly possible for us to do .Project Manager: Okay , okay .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} That's the end of mypresentation .Marketing: Cool .Project Manager: Great . Thank you very much Nathan . {vocalsound} Um if next we can have the um User Interface Developer goahead and make a brief presentation that'd be great as well .User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: S plug yourself in here . Mm . {vocalsound} Um hitfunction F_ eight real quickly , hold down {disfmarker} Mm .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: Looks like you're in okay .Industrial Designer: Is itplugged in well ? There it goes . Computer adjusting .User Interface: ThProject Manager: There you go . Sweet .Marketing: There you go .User Interface: Well so. Here we have a uh my technical functions design presentation . Um so a few of the requirements we need here . Uh we n basically need to operate an electronicdevice , it needs to be universal um and possibly uh operate several different types of devices although we now uh find that uh that that's no problem .ProjectManager: Yeah sorry I couldn't get that g to use before .User Interface: Um so some of my findings . Um basically wanna send messages uh to a television set .Um that would be any number of different things uh such as switch on the television , uh switch to the next channel , that sort of thing , I think we're all quite uhquite uh intelligent and know know what a normal remote control does . Um {vocalsound} now some of the other things I found is a a complicated remote controlsorry that we can't quite see my red there very wellProject Manager: Oh yeah look at that .Industrial Designer: Mm . {vocalsound}User Interface: but uh thisremote control has many functions um so it can do a lot of things but it uh it is quite complicatedProject Manager: Mm-hmm .User Interface: and most users willfind it uh find that they won't use most of the functions because they don't know how to use them and don't wanna take the time to learn how to do it . As youalso notice it's quite a boring design . Um . Another remote control , slightly different , it's a simpler remote control uh many less buttons but uh has many fewerfunctions , um m much easier for the user to manipulate and use . Um it also has a bit of a cheap look and it's also quite boring . SoProject Manager:{vocalsound} Nice .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface: my personal preferences .Marketing: {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}Revolutionise the idea of uh a remote control . Um so attain the functionality of a complicated device but use a simple formatted display uh for the user to to workwith . And I was gonna add another uh slide here but I didn't quite have time there .Project Manager: {vocalsound} Okay .User Interface: Um . Just incorporatingsome of the ideas that we had previously like uh having multiple face but it's uh {gap} .Project Manager: Great . Thanks for that Ron .Marketing: Right .ProjectManager: {vocalsound} 'KayMarketing: Does that mean I'm up ?Project Manager: yep that's you .Marketing: I think so . Okay .User Interface: I can plug you in.Marketing: Oh that would be perfect . Thank you . Slide show up and running .Project Manager: Give it a little bit .Marketing: Or not . Uh . Oh there we go .Perfect . Okay . So this is me . Um basically I was looking through some marketing reports that we've got and we had a usability test where we were actually sort{disfmarker} like watching a hundred people {vocalsound} use T_V_ remotes and see what it is that they're using and then they filled out a questionnaire aboutwhat they like and what they don't about their general T_V_ remote control practices . Um pretty much through testing we were finding out that most of the time, everybody's used to using changing the channel , turning it on , using the volume , m the majority of the time that's all that's going on , the other functionshappen , for some people they're important , but the primary uses are really really basic . Um and so big complicated remotes like one we saw in the lastpresentation are really not the general public's use , they're not using a lot of it , they don't need it , they even find it frustrating when there are all those buttonsthat they don't know what to do with . {vocalsound} And um we also found out that uh fifty percent of our people , their {disfmarker} the worst thing about aremote is how often they lose it . And then they can't find it in the room . So I think what we were talking about with a pager or something , will really come intoplay with a lot of these people . {vocalsound} Um there's also a survey about what they liked about remotes ,Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: andpretty much they all think they're hideous and not very useful , and the younger demographics are all really interested in voice recognition options . I don't knowif that's something we're ready to look into technically , that's up to the design people , but it is s something worth thinking about , especially since the youngerdemographic's obviously the one that's gonna keep growing , so if that's the direction we're headed in it's something to think about . Um but basically it really isthe primary functions and getting it to look nice , which are the standards . {vocalsound} So it's a good start for us .Project Manager: {vocalsound} That's great .Thank you Sarah . Right . So umMarketing: Need to unplug this ?Project Manager: yep I'll just uh switch that back here .Marketing: Need it back .ProjectManager: I'll finish up with just a bit of discussion plan on for the next phase .Marketing: There you go .Project Manager: {vocalsound} Right so I think we'vecovered most of these important questions through this um {vocalsound} through you guys's presentations um {vocalsound} we've got uh y the IndustrialDesigner suggests uh or pretty much emphatically suggested that we need to go with plastic . {vocalsound} Um Sarah , she's recommended that we go forsimpler functions , so fewer functions um but we need to decide who are we selling this to , you s your stats suggested that seventy five percent of people underthirty five wanted , thought about voice control ,Marketing: Oh right .Project Manager: {vocalsound} um so do we wanna go for that , or do we want to go for anolder demographic , and my thought is {vocalsound} um {vocalsound} we've got w if we're gonna go for a sleek look I mean we are putting the fashion in"}

Thanks .ProjectManager: So this meeting agenda will be the detailed design meeting . And uh opening and uh P_M_s {gap} of the meet minutes , uh prototype presentationfrom uh Christine and uh Agnes .Industrial Designer: Agnes , yes .Project Manager: Yes and uh evaluation criteria . The finance , it's uh from my side , from themanagement , and uh production evaluation . Then uh closing . So we have forty minutes to discuss and uh finalise and close the product and project and tomove further , okay , so {disfmarker} Okay , let's talk about uh maybe first uh for the prototype .User Interface: Mm , okay .Project Manager: So I handle to{disfmarker}User Interface: I've done a presentation , but it pretty much covers work that we've both done , so if I'm missing anything , Christine can justcorrect me .Project Manager: So shall I go to {disfmarker} sorry .Industrial Designer: Uh thank you , so you did a PowerPoint presentation , good for you .{vocalsound}Project Manager: Yep . S Okay , let's go to A_M_I_ .User Interface: {vocalsound} It's not the biggest PowerPoint presentation in the world , but{disfmarker}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound} So in two or three or {disfmarker}Industrial Designer:{vocalsound}User Interface: Three . Um . {vocalsound} No it's {disfmarker}Marketing: Probably . Technical pa I would think .User Interface: think it's the lastone . No , then this is {vocalsound} the la yeah , that one , final design .Marketing: Ha .Project Manager: Yeah .User Interface: It is named appropriately , youjust couldn't see the name .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound} Um okay , can I have the mouse ?ProjectManager: Yes .User Interface: Thanks . Alright , so from {disfmarker} when we were discussing specifying the case in the last meeting , we decided that wewanted an ergonomic shape , the material that we chose was wood , and uh the colour would be customisable , 'cause you can stain the wood whatever colour .Um , so in terms of function , you have to be able to turn the T_V_ on and off , volume and channel control , menu control , voice recognition control , and we'veincorporated the L_C_D_ screen on the flip panel as part of the design , if we figure out it's too expensive , well then you just take it off . {vocalsound} Um , so{vocalsound} to unveil our lovely product . This is our remote control , with the flip panel as you can see .Marketing: {vocalsound}User Interface: So if you lift upthe panel , you can see the lovely yellow L_C_D_ display . {vocalsound} Um , this is actually hard to do . The yellow button you have is the on off button , so it'sreally big , hard to miss . You have the the red um triangles are the toggles for changing the volume . So up {disfmarker} volume up , down {disfmarker} volumedown . The green are the channel changing . {vocalsound} S And it's one of those very light , very touchable displays . And then you have the numeric pad in thedark blue at the bottom , and on the right-hand side you have the access to the menu on the T_V_ , and on the left-hand side you have the the the ability to turnoff the voice recognition . So this is pretty much what we had on the white board the last time .Project Manager: Mm-hmm .User Interface: So .IndustrialDesigner: Um and uh I could {disfmarker}User Interface: {vocalsound} Oh yes .Industrial Designer: Yeah the dUser Interface: Additional feature on the back isthat you can have your own customised backing and I suppose you could do the same thing on the flip case on the front . So that you can really make this ahighly highly customisable remote control .Industrial Designer: We haven't um uh specified where the speaker or the microphone will be placed . That depends onthe uh s design of the circuit board inside and uh what room is left um {disfmarker}User Interface: Yeah .Project Manager: I think the microphone is on on thetop , uh on the middle , the {disfmarker} under the flip .Industrial Designer: Yes , okay . Uh-huh .Project Manager: So that will be the safe , so p any{disfmarker} the chip {disfmarker} it's not on the chip because you need to have microphone {gap} to {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: No , I mean it dependson the design of the circuit board .Project Manager: Yes .User Interface: But it shouldn't be under the flip either , because you can have the remote control closed, but you still might want to activate it by voice .Project Manager: {vocalsound} Uh it's it's {disfmarker} Yeah , but uh uh my opinion I think it's better under theflip because whenever you want to uh the talk , okay , so then you can speak then you can close it . But if you put it on the on the flip , okay , then uh technical Idon't think it's uh feasible , 'cause most of the time you speak then it will be recognised .User Interface: But if you've already got the remote control in your handyou need to open the flip to use the voice , why use the voice , why not just use your hand ? I mean the whole point of the voice is that if the remote control issitting there and I'm too lazy to reach over and pick it up , I can just use my voice .Industrial Designer: Maybe I've got my hand in the popcorn bowl and I'mholding my cup of Coca-Cola in the other hand .User Interface: Yeah . And you don't wanna let go of either one . {vocalsound}Marketing: I don't wanna say .Louder . {vocalsound} Yeah .User Interface: {vocalsound} I mean it doesn't have to be on the flip , it can be on the side somewhere .Marketing: Can also be onthe side .Project Manager: Yeah , the sides maybe is good .User Interface: Yeah .Industrial Designer: Mm-hmm .User Interface: So , I mean I can pass thisaround if anyone wants to {disfmarker}Project Manager: Yes . So it's maybe good idea .Industrial Designer: Yeah , y better you pass it around with a napkin .{vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound} No , because y you can easily put a microphone on the side that would have no problemwould haven't been {disfmarker} not be damaged or anything , and it'd be accessible all the time to voice .User Interface: {vocalsound} {vocalsound} Yeah.Project Manager: Yes . Yeah {vocalsound} .User Interface: Yeah , exactly .Marketing: Yeah .Project Manager: So it's maybe good idea . S sIndustrial Designer:It's um {disfmarker} It's um {disfmarker}Marketing: Compliments to the artist .Industrial Designer: You need to work on the weight a little bit .{vocalsound}User Interface: Yes .Marketing: Uh {vocalsound} .Project Manager: Okay . S {vocalsound} I'm fine , I'm satisfiUser Interface: And maybe the shapeof the buttons ,Project Manager: I'm satisfied .User Interface: the little egg shapes aren't the most economical , but {disfmarker}Industrial Designer:{vocalsound} We're glad you're satisfied .Project Manager: Of course it's it's it's looks more heo heavy , but I think when it's completely {gap} maybe it's a lessweight .User Interface: Yeah . I mean this is plasticene .Project Manager: Yes .User Interface: There's only so much you can do . We could have possibly made ita lot thinner as well . {vocalsound} But {disfmarker} And part of the thing is m a lot of people say that they don't like something that's too light , because theydon't feel like they have enough control over it .Industrial Designer: Mm-hmm .User Interface: So I mean maybe this is excessively heavy , but I think it needs tohave some weight ,Project Manager: Yep .User Interface: it needs to feel like you're still holding something . {vocalsound} So that's pretty much it for ourpresentation actually .Project Manager: That's your uh prototype model ?User Interface: Yeah .Project Manager: Okay , that's good , thank you very much.Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: So any comments or uh {disfmarker}Marketing: Well , the prototype is is very well within the design and ideas thatwe've we've talked about on the previous meetings .Project Manager: Okay .Marketing: Now it goes into this next phase as the financial uh marketing uh{disfmarker}Project Manager: {vocalsound} Yes , that uh {disfmarker} So I'll come back to the {disfmarker} {gap} So evaluation criteria , I think uh that will begood , so then let's come to the finance uh , I have some uh calculations which I made uh as for uh the budget . So here you can uh look like uh the energy{gap} and uh {gap} dynamo and uh kinetic and solar cells . Uh it's optional , somewhat optional and Ed wants the chip on print , that's what uh we were talkingabout that .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: So then we have sample sensor and sample speaker , then uh we have the wood material , thenspecial colour and push button . So it's uh {disfmarker} actually , our budget was uh twelve point five Euro , but uh it's coming to nine point nine five Euro , sowe are under uh {disfmarker} below the budget , okay , so still we are saving some money . I think it's a good figure . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Yes ,great I {disfmarker} I'm surprised .Marketing: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Congratulations . {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound}Than thank you . {vocalsound}Marketing: Well we haven't come to mine yet , so {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Oh , okayUser Interface:{vocalsound}Industrial Designer: . It's gonna cost a long way to c you know , cost a lot of money to market it , is it ?Marketing: we're gonna have a bit ofdifference of opinion , yes . {vocalsound} {vocalsound}Project Manager: So maybe it's {disfmarker} for some money we can utilise for our uh marketing , for thesales , okay , and uh {disfmarker}Marketing: {vocalsound} Well , it just depends on if we're gonna add a {vocalsound} o on this pr provisionary cost analysis ,we do not have a L_C_ display . L_C_ display is gonna be very expensive ,User Interface: No we do , but it's not filled in .Marketing: it's gonna be{disfmarker}Project Manager: It's not .Industrial Designer: Thirty .Marketing: It's not {disfmarker} it doesn't say .User Interface: It's number thirty .ProjectManager: Yeah . Yeah .Marketing: We don't have the price up there ,User Interface: Oh , yeah , yeah ,Project Manager: Yeah . Yeah .User Interface: you're right ,sorry , yes .Industrial Designer: Yeah .Marketing: okay , so if we add approximately two to three Euro per remote , now we're up around about twelve , twelveand a half as to what uh the company had initially uh requested . Um {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: So that means we can put the uh {disfmarker} theL_C_D_ in , yeah .Marketing: Display in . But as far as production um I'm putting up a question because we're talking about profit also , and in mine you'll see uh{vocalsound} the problem with uh our survey , the p the possibility that how many units can be sold , what percentage of the market , etcetera etcetera becausethat {gap} has to be taken in into consideration .Project Manager: {vocalsound}Marketing: Uh this is just production cost , it is not uh advertising cost , it's nottransportation cost uh {disfmarker}Project Manager: Yes , so still uh we have twelve point five Euro .Marketing: {vocalsound} And that will inflate quite a bit thecost of the uh {disfmarker} the cost of the unit for the company .Project Manager: Yes . {gap} Yeah , but {disfmarker} Yes . Yep .User Interface: Um-hmm"}

Uh it was discussed in the last meeting uh which was opened by the presentation from the interface um designer {vocalsound} that uh looks wouldbe very important on this new remoteUser Interface: Designer . {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: and um it is to send messages of courseto the T_V_ . It should have nine channel buttons , a next button , volume buttons , subtitle buttons , switch to control features , colour contrast , sharpnessetcetera . It should have a memory switch , a mute button in case the telephone rings or something . Uh speech recognition is one of her very f favourite personaluh features she would like see d d to be integrated in this um in this new remote . Um . {vocalsound} Should be child friendly design with few buttons , colourfulmaybe with s star shaped or other shaped buttons . Um she uh presented also an oversized remote which she guarantees nobody will ever be able to lose .UserInterface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Um {disfmarker}Marketing: And she was challenged on that point {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound} that'sright . {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound} Yes . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: But uh her very f personal favouritereally she , she would very much like to see a speech recogniser integrated in this remote . The industrial designer um presented her uh {vocalsound} thoughtson the issue . She would like a special case made out of plastic that is very strong , not using any harmful materials , should be recyclable and should be colourful. Should have an integrated circuit board that's highly sophisticated and temperature resistant . She would like to see a timer and or alarm facility integrated . Uhtechnically this thing would also have a resistor and a capacitor , diode transistor , resonator , and if possible a rechargeable battery . Uh and of course a circuitboard . And how it would works , you press the button , the chip is morse {disfmarker} morse code related relays the {disfmarker} uh to the generat to thegenerator amplification and uh the circuit board is very inexpensive to build and so she thinks this is a great feature uh to to to consider .Marketing: Okay .ProjectManager: She would like uh {disfmarker} this whole thing should be push buttons with a simple chip uh scrolling method is more expensive and not that practicalanymore . Should be battery operated and of course she would have the special cases . The marketing expert uh who has to finally come up with {disfmarker} toto to market this product has been watching the competition , has done some research on the internet and also has used h her personal observations to come upwith the fact that such a remote sh should be small , easy to use and it should be eye catching . From her point of view of course one of the most important factsis that we should get to market before our competition does . To do that uh maybe one or two features should be developed on which we could dwell on or inother words on which our campaign could be built on . Too many new features or too many points would only confuse matter . So we prefer to have one or twofeatures that can be really uh driven home . Um it should have a fruit and vegetable design and should have a soft feel . She feels that's really what people wanttoday . And the decision that we took last time was that uh the special feature we would like to see is a speech recogniser , the energy should be battery uhshould be on a chip , should be trendy design , compact and strong , and should have buttons . And that concludes the presentation from the last minutes{disfmarker} from the last meeting . Now uh we are ready for the presentation of the prototype .User Interface: Yeah .Industrial Designer: Yeah .User Interface:Just the look like , the button part I'll explain .Industrial Designer: Yeah . Uh so this is our {disfmarker} what uh we have made . This is a model of the remotecontrol which we are going to build .Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: Uh this is us in a snail shape so uh it it is attractiveMarketing: Mm-hmm.Industrial Designer: um and it's {disfmarker} it's blue in colour uh bright and uh it has yellow buttons and all the different colour buttonsMarketing: Mm-hmm.Industrial Designer: so it is a {disfmarker} uh uh a {disfmarker} looks-wise it is beautiful .Marketing: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: Uh and also compact inshape .Marketing: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: Uh um and also i it it will be easily fit into {disfmarker} into the hands and you can access all the buttons easily.Marketing: Mm-hmm . Mm-hmm . Mm-hmm . Good .Industrial Designer: Yeah ,Project Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: oops , sorry .{vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound} You used to have all the buttons {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Um yeahand um uh the material which we are going to use for the case is uh plastic and uh w which which is s strong um uh and also uh for the {disfmarker} Um thematerial is plastic and uh for the buttons it is uh s soft rubber um and alsMarketing: Oh that's good ,Industrial Designer: yeah .Marketing: no , that's nice andfriendly .Industrial Designer: Yeah because uh uh you'll be touching the buttons more so it is soft when you touch it .Marketing: Mm-hmm . Mm .Project Manager:Mm-hmm ,Marketing: Mm-hmm .Project Manager: mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: And then um uh for the {disfmarker} for the led , for the light emitting diode itis a fluorescent greenMarketing: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: and it's a {disfmarker} a {disfmarker} it is a bulb like an ordinary infrared .Marketing: Mm-hmm.Industrial Designer: And {disfmarker} and the button {disfmarker} button's part uh will be explained by F Francina .User Interface: Okay .Marketing: Okay .UserInterface: Now the um {disfmarker} we decided upon including certain features on our remote . Now these features includes the s um signal emitting uh signal{disfmarker} it's the led or L_E_D_ the infrared .Project Manager: Mm-hmm ,Marketing: Yeah , okay , mm-hmm .Project Manager: mm-hmm .User Interface:Now uh we have included the switch on and off button .Marketing: Mm-hmm .User Interface: Now we have included another feature that is the mutebuttonMarketing: Mm-hmm .User Interface: on the side of the model . Then we have included one to nine buttonsMarketing: Mm-hmm .User Interface: forcontrolling the programmes {disfmarker} the different channels .Marketing: Mm-hmm .User Interface: We have also included two buttons for increasing ordecreasing the volume .Marketing: Mm-hmm .User Interface: And we have also included two buttons for scrolling up and scrolling down the programme channels. Now our {disfmarker} our model also contains a button which is called as the menu button .Marketing: Mm .Project Manager: What kind of button ?UserInterface: Menu button .Project Manager: Menu ? Uh menu th menu , uh one one .User Interface: Yes , menu {disfmarker}Marketing: Menu button .{vocalsound}User Interface: At the centreMarketing: Mm-hmm .User Interface: we have included a button which is fluorescent green colour and this is the menubutton which will control the colour , sharpness , brightnessMarketing: Mm-hmm . Of the screen . Mm , mm-hmm .User Interface: of this uh picture . We havealso included a button which is called as the swapping button . Now this is uh a special , special feature which we have included . Now this button is an elongatedshaped button and this is slightly flexible so if it is turned towards the right it will take to the previous channel , if it is turned towards the right it will take to thenext channel . It will take the user to the previous and the next channel so this is a swapping button .Marketing: The next channel in the numeric pattern , or{disfmarker}User Interface: No , swapping is if if example you're {disfmarker} you're watching the second channel and then you go to the tenth channel and ifyou want to go back to the second channel you can swap , this button .Marketing: Yeah , mm-hmm . Mm .User Interface: Yes .Marketing: Okay , okay .UserInterface: And at the end , it {disfmarker} this remote has inbuilt voice recogniser which c which will recognise the user's voice and then it'll act accordingly.Project Manager: Okay . Mm-hmm . Mm-hmm .User Interface: So this is our proposed model .Marketing: Okay .User Interface: Now the marketing expert hastoMarketing: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: Tell , yeah .User Interface: give her suggestion whether it'll be sellable {vocalsound} or it'll be cost effective.Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound} Okay , well um what {disfmarker} what I really like a lot about it is that you can reach the wholething with one thumb ,User Interface: Yes , yes .Marketing: that you can really hold it in one h you don't need two handsIndustrial Designer: Mm-hmm.Marketing: and it's easily reachable even for somebody with a small hand , yeah ?Project Manager: Yes the buttons are all raised , right ?Marketing: The buttonsare all raisedProject Manager: Are raised , mm-hmm .User Interface: Yes .Marketing: and if you hold it in the centre of your hand you can even reach it over hereso you don't have to turn it around , turn it upside down , move it up , up and down ,Project Manager: Right . Or have two hands to operate it , yeah .Marketing: Ireally like that .User Interface: Mm .Industrial Designer: Mm-hmm .Marketing: You really did a good job on that , my little designers .User Interface:{vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound} Um and um I like the idea that the on-off button is in a really prominent place . That'sthat's a really good good thing .Project Manager: Yes , and it sort of sticks up so that you really {disfmarker}Marketing: Yeah , that's great .Project Manager: youdon't have to g first go like oh yeah here it's on and yeah , mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: Hmm . Mm-hmm .Marketing: Mm-hmm .User Interface: Abs okay.Marketing: The colour's very attractive . Um the um these buttons uh around here are the muteUser Interface: No , these {disfmarker} the front buttons whichare here , are the mute buttons .Marketing: and {disfmarker} these {disfmarker} mm-hmm On both sides they're mute ?User Interface: Yes , yes .Marketing: Soyou can push either one ?User Interface: Yes .Marketing: Okay .Project Manager: So if you're left-handed or right-handed it doesn't matter .Marketing: And thisbrings the menu up on the screen ?User Interface: {vocalsound} Pardon me ? This is the menu {disfmarker} yes , yes .Marketing: This brings the menu up onthe screen and the orange ones are {disfmarker}User Interface: A the {disfmarker} the {disfmarker} these {disfmarker} these two are th to increase ordecrease the volumes ,Marketing: Okay .User Interface: and these two are to uh scroll the programme channels .Marketing: F f okay .User Interface: Scroll up orscroll down the channels .Marketing: Right , very good .

I'm the Marketing Expert for this project .Industrial Designer: Bob,Marketing: Bob yeah .Industrial Designer: okay .User Interface: My name is Hamed Getabdar , and uh I'm going to be Interface Designer in this project.Industrial Designer: Okay .Project Manager: So , uh , so today we are doing a short meeting to present the project , so um We are gooding we are going topresent the tool we are {vocalsound} we are going to use during all this project . We are talking about the project plan , and we are going to to discuss about stour first ideas and so on , and , yeah . So we have around twenty five minutes to do this meeting . Um . So what is the goal of this project ? Is to design a newremote control . So it should be , of course , new and original , and um it should be trendy , and user friendly . That mean it's a very challenging project , and uhuh . So w it's {disfmarker} we will try to do our best , and hopefully come with something very new and that people want to buy . So , um {disfmarker} Sowhat's uh what are we going to do during this all this project ? So it's more like we are going to do inv individual work all in o in o our specialities and we aregoing to meet each other quite often to discuss and to find a good way . Um . Yeah and everything is {disfmarker} will be like this . Um so now we are going to toget used t to to the tools we are going to use all {disfmarker} during all this project . So we can try to use uh the whiteboard here . So {gap} uh .IndustrialDesigner: Okay .Project Manager: For example we can try to write what is our our favourite animal and write the f our favourite characteristics about it . Mm . Uh{vocalsound} . So uh {disfmarker} {gap} So I will ask you all to do the same .Industrial Designer: Okay .Project Manager: Just to get used to the whiteboard.Industrial Designer: So probably I would try to try to draw the animal . Well sh should I draw the picture of the animal ?Project Manager: Yeah , yeah , you candraw the picture , of course {vocalsound} .Industrial Designer: I I th I think I should .Marketing: Yeah go ahead .Industrial Designer: Okay , so . Um{vocalsound} . Okay , American , um . Um . I would use the bird . So I tried to sketch it out . I had to first uh write it down because I am not absolutely sure if Ican draw it , but ah . Can you recognise it {vocalsound} as a bird ?Project Manager: {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Okay{vocalsound} it's your turn to {disfmarker}Marketing: Okay , okay . {vocalsound} So I think my favourite animal would be a c a cat .Project Manager: Oh.Marketing: That's its head .Project Manager: {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: Um I probably like cats the most because they're cuddly andfurry and uh playful .Project Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {gap}User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: Okay .User Interface: I dunno if I shouldgo with this {gap} {vocalsound} .Industrial Designer: Oh it's okay .Project Manager: {vocalsound}Marketing: Thanks . {vocalsound}User Interface: If it isenough line .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound} {vocalsound} Maybe put it upUser Interface: {vocalsound} I'm sorry .{vocalsound}Marketing: {disfmarker} Put it a Maybe put it on the desk or something .Industrial Designer: Yeah .User Interface: {vocalsound}IndustrialDesigner: I should get used to the tool , so .Marketing: {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound} Okay .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Oh just wait {gap} alittle bit . C could we put it here , to make it as straight as possible ?User Interface: {vocalsound} {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound}IndustrialDesigner: {vocalsound} Ah probably not .User Interface: {vocalsound} They should be remote .Marketing: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Okay , it{disfmarker} it works like this .Marketing: Uh , that's better .User Interface: Okay , thanks .Marketing: Your lapel microphone's fallen off .User Interface:{vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Are you left-handed ?User Interface: No .Industrial Designer: Oh , pity {vocalsound} .User Interface: Okay . Should I clean ?{vocalsound} {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}User Interface: Okay , I think like horses uh because they are strong and beautiful , so if I want to write ithere , I think I can . {vocalsound} Oh {vocalsound} .Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Never mind . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Ah , it's maybebetter if you leave it .Marketing: {vocalsound} Yeah .

The {disfmarker} We expect a production cost of maximum uh twelve point fifty Euro .Industrial Designer: Per unit , I guess .ProjectManager: {vocalsound} Yeah , of course .Industrial Designer: Y oh okay .Project Manager: Um , so we can start today to have a first idea of what we want to dowhat are our experiments with remote control , and any idea ? So , if you have some experience , good or bad , with remote controls you can share it and saywhat you f what is your idea . Anything .Industrial Designer: Okay .Marketing: Well , from experience , um I've had remote controls in the past that have hadvery {disfmarker} they've had lots and lots of buttons and they've been very small , and it's been very hard to to to use , because there's so many buttons , andyou know it's very hard to see which buttons do what , and the buttons are very small and very hard to press . Um and and normally you only every use , youknow , on a T_V_ remote you only ever use , mostly , you know , f four or f six buttons . Um .Project Manager: Mm .Industrial Designer: Oh .Marketing: So it'sfrustrated me in the past , th that .Industrial Designer: Okay , I have also some points uh . Maybe two points . Uh first would be that in current remote controlsthere is no back light {vocalsound} , so if you are if you are uh playing with this in the dark room it's it's probably worth to to have something like uh back light.Project Manager: Yeah .Industrial Designer: And maybe it could be also dependant on the the amount of of light in the room , so that if if it's in the day it doesn'tneed to be back lighted because it works on the battery , so . So something like this . And the second thing , f second point from me would be that in a normalremote control there is uh {disfmarker} there are two buttons for volume control .Project Manager: Yeah .Industrial Designer: But I prefer like a potential-meteror something like .Marketing: Ah , okay . Okay .Industrial Designer: You know , some slider or {disfmarker}Project Manager: Okay .Industrial Designer: Not justtwo discrete buttons for volume ,User Interface: Mm-hmm .Marketing: Okay , n {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: but something which {disfmarker}ProjectManager: Mm-hmm . Yeah .Marketing: Is that because the {disfmarker} of the discrete volume levels , or is thatIndustrial Designer: Yeah , but I can reach{disfmarker} In uh one second I can mute it down , or or make a high volume .Project Manager: {gap} Are you not afraid that if you take your remote controlyou can move the slide and it could {gap} {disfmarker} the the volume can go up very quicklyMarketing: Yeah .Industrial Designer: Ah , n .Project Manager: andit can {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: If it drops to the floor then it starts to scream {gap} .Project Manager: Yeah , also if y when you take the the remotecontrol , for example on the table , you take it and you push the button and everything is very loud , andIndustrial Designer: {vocalsound} Yeah , f It dependswhat what you feel about that .Project Manager: you have a heart attack {vocalsound} . Okay .Marketing: Yeah .Industrial Designer: Yeah but we can we canthink of these things afterwards , but if {gap} you have some more notes on that .Project Manager: Yeah so you can {disfmarker}User Interface: Uh I{disfmarker} Yeah ,Project Manager: Do you have something ?User Interface: just a simple experience . I uh I prefer um remote control working with radiowaves , because remote control working with infra-red rays you should you should you should keep it in a specific direction and then try it hard to tune {gap}.Project Manager: Yeah , that's true . Yeah without obstacles and {gap} .Industrial Designer: Okay .Project Manager: Okay . Let's continue .Industrial Designer:Um .Project Manager: I have a meeting in five minutes , so maybe we should hurry .Marketing: Okay .Project Manager: Um . So we will close uh this meeting.Industrial Designer: Okay , just a second . {gap}Project Manager: So we will have a next meeting in uh thirty minutes .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}ProjectManager: Um . Uh . The {disfmarker} So I will ask you to do some work . Uh the the interface interface developer will work on the on the design of the remote"}

It 's already at IBM ,PhD F: is already at IBM .PhD D: but the other ones {disfmarker}PhD F: That 's the one that{pause} we 're waiting to hear from them on .PhD D: Yeah . Yeah .Postdoc A: OK .PhD F: Yeah .Postdoc A: These are separate from the ones that{disfmarker}PhD F: As soon as {disfmarker}Postdoc A: I mean , these are {disfmarker}PhD F: They 're the IBM set .PhD D: Yep .Grad H: It 's this one .PostdocA: Excellent . Good .PhD F: Yeah . And so as soon as we hear from Brian that this one is OKGrad H: Is my mike on ? Yeah .PhD F: and we get the transcript backand we find out that hopefully there are no problems matching up the transcript with what we gave them , then uh we 'll be ready to go and we 'll just send themthe next four as a big batch ,Postdoc A: Excellent .PhD F: and let them work on that .Grad H: And so we 're doing those as disjoint from the ones we 'retranscribing here ?PhD F: Yes , exactly .Grad H: OK , good .PhD F: We 're sort of doing things in parallel , that way we can get as much done a at once .Grad H:Yeah , I think that 's the right way to do it ,PhD F: Yeah .Grad H: especially for the information retrieval stuff . Anything else on transcription status ?Postdoc A:Hm - mmm .Grad H: OK .Professor B: DARPA demos , we had the submeeting the other day .Grad H: Right , which uh {disfmarker} So I 've been working onusing the THISL tools to do information retrieval on meeting data and the THISL tools are {disfmarker} there 're two sets , there 's a back - end and a front - end, so the front - end is the user interface and the back - end is the indexing tool and the querying tool . And so I 've written some tools to convert everything intothe right for file formats . And the command line version of the indexing and the querying is now working . So at least on the one meeting that I had thetranscript for uh conveniently you can now do information retrieval on it , do {disfmarker} type in a {disfmarker} a string and get back a list of start - end timesfor the meeting ,PhD F: What {disfmarker} what kind of uh {disfmarker} what does that look like ? The string that you type in .Grad H: uh of hits .PhD F: Whatare you {disfmarker} are you {disfmarker} are they keywords , or are they {disfmarker} ?Grad H: Keywords .PhD F: OK . I see .Grad H: Right ? And so{disfmarker} and then it munges it to pass it to the THISL IR which uses an SGML - like format for everything .PhD F: I see .Professor B: And then does it playsomething back or that 's something you 're having to program ?Grad H: Um , right now , I have a tool that will do that on a command line using our standardtools ,Professor B: Yeah .Grad H: but my intention is to do a prettier user interface based either {disfmarker} So {disfmarker} so that 's the other thing I wantedto discuss , is well what should we do for the user interface ? We have two tools that have already been written . Um the SoftSound guys did a web - based one,Professor B: Mm - hmm .Grad H: um , which I haven't used , haven't looked at . Dan says it 's pretty goodProfessor B: Mm - hmm .Grad H: but it does mean youneed to be running a web server .Professor B: Mm - hmm .Grad H: And so it {disfmarker} it 's pretty big and complex . Uh and it would be difficult to port toWindows because it means porting the web server to Windows .Professor B: Mm - hmm .Grad H: Uh the other option is Dan did the Tcl - TK THISL GUI front - endfor Broadcast NewsProfessor B: Yeah .Grad H: which I think looks great . I think that 's a nice demo . Um and that would be much easier to port to Windows . Andso I think that 's the way we should go .Postdoc A: I {disfmarker} Can I ask a question ? So um as it stands within the {disfmarker} the Channeltrans interface ,it 's possible to do a find and a play .Grad H: Mm - hmm .Postdoc A: You can find a searched string and play . So e Are you {disfmarker} So you 're adding likeum , I don't know , uh are they fuzzy matches or are they {pause} uh {disfmarker} ?Grad H: It 's a sort of standard , text - retrieval - based {disfmarker} So it's uh term frequency , inverse document frequency scoring .Postdoc A: OK .Grad H: Um and then there are all sorts of metrics for spacing how far apart theyhave to be and things like that . So it {disfmarker} it 'sPostdoc A: It 's a lot more sophisticated than the uh the basically Windows - based {disfmarker}Grad H: iit 's like doing a Google query or anyth anything else like that .Postdoc A: OK .Grad H: So i it uses {disfmarker} So it pr produces an index ahead of time so youdon't {disfmarker} you 're not doing a linear search through all the documents . Cuz you can imagine if {disfmarker} with {disfmarker} if we have the sixty hours' worth you do {disfmarker} wouldn't wanna do a search .Postdoc A: Hm - mmm . Good .Grad H: Um you have to do preindexing and so that {disfmarker} thesetools do all that . And so the work to get the front - end to work would be porting it {disfmarker} well {disfmarker} uh to get it to work on the UNIX systems , ourside is just rewriting them and modifying them to work for meetings .Professor B: Mm - hmm .Grad H: So that it understands that they 're different speakers andthat it 's one big audio file instead of a bunch of little ones and just sorta things like that .Professor B: Mm - hmm .PhD G: Mm - hmm .PhD F: So what does theuser see as the result of the query ?Grad H: On which tool ?PhD F: THISL .Grad H: The THISL GUI tool which is the one that Dan wrote , Tcl - TKPhD F: Yeah.Grad H: um you type in a query and then you get back a list of hits and you can type on them and listen to them . Click on them rather {comment} with a mouse.PhD F: Ah .Professor B: MmmPhD F: So if you typed in \" small heads \" or something you couldGrad H: Right , you 'd get {disfmarker}PhD F: get back a uh uh{comment} something that would let you click and listen to some audio where that phrase had occurredGrad H: something {disfmarker} You {disfmarker} you 'dget to listen to \" beep \" .PhD F: or someProfessor B: That was a really good look . It 's too bad that that couldn't {vocalsound} come into the {disfmarker}GradH: You couldn't get a video .PhD G: Guess who I practice on ?Postdoc A: At some point we 're gonna have to say what that private joke is , that keeps coming up.Professor B: Yeah . And then again , maybe not . So , {vocalsound} uh {disfmarker} Yeah , that soun that sounds reasonable . Yeah , it loo it {disfmarker} my{disfmarker} my recollection of it is it 's {disfmarker} it 's a pretty reasonable uh demo sort of format .Grad H: Right .PhD F: Yeah that sounds good .Grad H:And so I think there 'd be minimal effort to get it to work , minimallyPhD F: That sounds really neat .Grad H: and then we 'd wanna add things like query byspeaker and by meeting and all that sort of stuff . Um Dave Gelbart expressed some interest in working on that so I 'll work with him on it . And it {disfmarker} it's looking pretty good , you know , the fact that I got the query system working . So if we wanna just do a video - based one I think that 'll be easy .Professor B:Mm - hmm .Grad H: If we wanna get it to Windows it 's gonna be a little more work because the THISL IR , the information retrieval tool 's {disfmarker} um , Ihad difficulty just compiling them on Solaris .Professor B: Mm - hmm .Grad H: So getting them to compile on Windows might be challenging .Professor B: Mm -hmm .PhD F: But you were saying that {disfmarker} that the uh {disfmarker} that there 's that set of tools , uh , Cygnus tools , that {disfmarker}Grad H: So . Itcertainly helps .PhD F: Uh - huh .Grad H: Um , I mean without those I wouldn't even attempt it .Professor B: Mm - hmm .PhD F: Yeah .Grad H: But what those{disfmarker} they {disfmarker} what those do is provide sort of a BSD compatibility layer ,Professor B: Mm - hmm .Grad H: so that the normal UNIX functioncalls all work .Professor B: Mm - hmm .PhD F: And you have to have all the oGrad H: Um , But the problem is that {disfmarker} that the THISL tools didn't useanything like Autoconf and so you have the normal porting problems of different header files and th some things are defined and some things aren't and uhdifferent compiler work - arounds and so on . So the fact that um it took me a day to get it c to compile under Solaris means it 's probably gonna take me ssignificantly more than that to get it to compile under Windows .Professor B: How about having it run under free BSD ?PhD E: Well what you need{disfmarker}Grad H: Free BSD would probably be easier .PhD E: All you need to do is say to Dan \" gee it would be nice if this worked under Autoconf \" and it 'llbe done in a day .Grad H: That 's true .PhD D: Uh {disfmarker}PhD E: Right ?Grad H: Actually you know I should check because he did port it to SPRACHcorePhDE: Right .Grad H: so he might have done that already .PhD E: I {disfmarker} I {disfmarker} I wouldn't be surprised .Professor B: So {disfmarker}Grad H: I 'llcheck at that {disfmarker}Professor B: But it would {disfmarker} what would serve {disfmarker} would serve both purposes , is if you contact him and ask him ifhe 's already done it .PhD E: What I {disfmarker}PhD F: How does it play ?Grad H: Yeah , right .Professor B: If he has then you learn , if he hasn't then he 'll do it.Grad H: Right .Postdoc A: Wow .PhD F: I hope he never listens to these meetings .Grad H: That 's right .

+{"doc_id":"doc_14","qid":"","text":"Lynne Neagle AM: Good morning, everyone. Welcome to the Children, Young People and Education Committee this morning. We've received no apologies forabsence. Can I ask if there are any declarations of interest from Members, please? No. Okay, thank you. Item 2 this morning is the Children (Abolition of Defenceof Reasonable Punishment) (Wales) Bill: Stage 2 proceedings. I'm pleased to welcome Julie Morgan AM, Deputy Minister for Health and Social Services; KarenCornish, deputy director, children and families division at Welsh Government; and Emma Gammon, lawyer for Welsh Government. Thank you for attending thismorning and welcome to the committee. I'm just going to run through the procedures that we're going to follow now. As I said, the purpose of the meeting is toundertake Stage 2 proceedings on the Children (Abolition of Defence of Reasonable Punishment) (Wales) Bill. For these proceedings, Members should have copiesof the marshalled list of amendments, the groupings of the amendments for debate and the voting order for the amendments. The marshalled list of amendmentsis the list of all amendments tabled, marshalled into the order in which the sections appear in the Bill. The order in which we consider amendments will be thedefault order—that is, sections 1 to 3 and the long title. You will see from the groupings list that amendments have been grouped to facilitate debate. However,the order in which they're called and moved for decision is dictated by the marshalled list. Members will, therefore, need to follow the two papers, although I willadvise Members when I call them whether they're being called to speak in the debate or to move their amendments for a decision. There will be one debate oneach group of amendments. Members who wish to speak in a particular group should indicate to me in the usual way. I will call the Deputy Minister to speak oneach group. For the record, in accordance with the convention agreed by the Business Committee, as Chair I will move amendments in the name of the DeputyMinister. For expediency, I will assume that the Deputy Minister wishes me to move all of her amendments, and I will do so at the appropriate place in themarshalled list. Deputy Minister, if you do not want a particular amendment to be moved, please indicate to me at the relevant point in proceedings. In line withour usual practice, legal advisers to the committee and the Deputy Minister are not expected to provide advice on the record. If Members wish to seek legaladvice during proceedings, please do so by passing a note to the legal adviser and, if necessary, we can adjourn. My intention is to try to dispose of allamendments during today's meeting. I will call a short break in proceedings at an appropriate time, if necessary. Okay, thank you. So, we will proceed, then, togroup 1, which is the duty to promote public awareness. The lead amendment in the group is amendment 1 in the name of the Deputy Minister. I moveamendment 1 in the Deputy Minister's name and call on the Deputy Minister to speak to her amendment and the other amendments in this group.Julie MorganAM: Thank you very much, Chair. My amendments 1 and 4 will place a duty on Welsh Ministers to provide information and increase awareness about the changein the law to ensure that the public are made aware of how the law will change as a result of the defence of reasonable punishment being abolished and thatphysical punishment would be prohibited once the Act commences. I tabled these amendments in response to this committee's recommendation—this was arecommendation from this committee in the Stage 1 report, so I have responded to that. I've already made a commitment to a high-intensity awareness-raisingcampaign over approximately six years from Royal Assent, should the Bill be passed. I've considered amendments 1A to 1E, which have been tabled by JanetFinch-Saunders, and which relate to the duty to raise awareness. Amendment 1A introduces a reference to public understanding. We don't think, actually, thatthis adds anything to the Government amendment, which already mentions awareness. It makes the awareness-raising duty open-ended with no time limit,which is not necessary. By commencement, messaging around the change in the law will be embedded. The awareness-raising campaign will continue for anumber of years. Therefore, an ongoing duty referring specifically to the law change would not be required. I understand, of course, that the awareness-raisingcampaign needs to be comprehensive, well planned and to reach out to all those people and all those communities who need to be aware of the law change, andunderstand how to respond to it. But I don't think it's helpful or necessary to highlight specific groups, such as visitors to Wales, on the face of the Bill—that's theapproach taken in amendment 1E—as it risks placing too much emphasis on certain groups at the expense of others. In relation to children, the committee willknow that I'm fully committed to children’s rights, and that Welsh Ministers are already under a duty to have due regard to the rights of children whenever theyexercise their functions. An additional due regard requirement, such as the one set out in amendment 1D, relating specifically to the need to promote awarenessamong children is not needed. This would be part and parcel of the Welsh Government approach to putting children’s rights at the heart of our policy making.Similarly, I don't think it's necessary for the Bill to set out specifically the topics that need to be covered in the awareness-raising campaign, as is suggested inamendments 1B and 1C. That level of detail, I don't think, is for the face of the Bill. Information required about parenting support will be considered by theparenting expert group, under the auspices of the Bill’s strategic implementation group, working with my officials and the expert stakeholder group on theawareness-raising campaign. And, really, their thinking should not be constrained in any way by specifications on the face of the Bill. I think we always need tobear in mind that what the Bill does is remove a defence to an existing criminal offence; it does not create a new offence. And in this context, it doesn't makesense for this Bill to contain a provision requiring the provision of information about how a person may raise concerns if it appears to them that a child is beingphysically punished. As I set out in my letter to this committee responding to recommendation 15 on this point, safeguarding is everyone’s business, and, as now,the public have a role in highlighting to relevant services if they are concerned about a child. I'm asking for the support of Members for amendments 1 and 4, andI ask Members to reject amendments 1A to 1E because this would place unnecessary provisions on the face of the Bill.Lynne Neagle AM: Thank you, DeputyMinister. Are there other Members who wish to speak? Janet Finch-Saunders.Janet Finch-Saunders AM: Thank you, Chair. I wish to speak to amendments 1A to1E, which relate to the Deputy Minister's amendment on the duty to promote public awareness. While we believe it is absolutely imperative that the public aremade aware of this controversial change in the law, the Deputy Minister's amendment lacks a number of key points that the committee were actually keen toaddress at Stage 1. An important thread runs throughout each and every amendment that I've tabled within this group—that of a sustained awareness campaign,which not only stretches beyond the implementation of the Bill, but serves as a duty for future administrations. Amendment 1A: primarily, amendment 1Achanges amendment 1 to include the promotion of understanding changes to the law. I don't think it's enough for the Welsh Government to say that the publicshould be made aware of the coming into force of section 1 and that a public awareness campaign needs to be sustained until the Welsh Government's objectiveshave been achieved. Despite the fact that it is intended to change behaviour, the consequences of this law are far greater than that of organ donation orprohibiting smoking indoors. Instead of an opt-out system or a civil offence, this law will remove a defence for parents, information on which could be there ontheir records for the rest of their lives, potentially separate parents, and could affect employment chances. As such, whilst we agree with the necessity of theawareness campaign, it is important too that the Welsh Government take stock and ensures that parents are not penalised due to a weak awareness campaign.The witnesses we heard before this committee also noted the necessity of ensuring that the public understands—Lynne Neagle AM: Janet, Dawn is asking if you'lltake an intervention.Janet Finch-Saunders AM: Yes.Dawn Bowden AM: I just wanted to know—could you give us examples of any other piece of legislation wherethere's been indefinite public awareness campaigns once it's been passed?Janet Finch-Saunders AM: There's a lot of legislation. The first Assembly term when Iwas here—Dawn Bowden AM: Yes, what I'm asking—Janet Finch-Saunders AM: I'm trying to respond—Dawn Bowden AM: What I'm asking for is: can you give usspecific examples of where there have been indefinite public awareness campaigns running indefinitely past the enactment of a piece of legislation?JanetFinch-Saunders AM: The very first term that I was an Assembly Member, we passed 25 pieces of separate legislation. Even today, as I sit here, the public are notaware of many of those pieces of legislation. This particular piece of legislation will have a profound effect on the parenting of children in Wales. So, therefore, Ithink there is a necessity for both children and parents to become involved, and I shall speak now—Dawn Bowden AM: With respect, Chair, that's not the questionI asked.Janet Finch-Saunders AM: —to my amendments.Lynne Neagle AM: I can call you in the debate, if you'd like to make a more substantive contribution onthis. Yes.Janet Finch-Saunders AM: The witnesses who we heard from before this committee also noted the necessity of ensuring that the public understands theimplications. And that's what we're talking about here, Members—the implications of removing this defence. Strikingly, the Office of Police and CrimeCommissioner for Gwent stated the following: 'the potential for public resistance to the Bill through misunderstanding or confusion over it implications may posethe largest barrier to its implementation.' If you are intent on removing the defence of reasonable punishment, it is therefore not unreasonable to ensure thatlaw-abiding parents fully understand the ramifications of this Bill. Additionally, the committee found that while the current Welsh Government's intention todeliver a public awareness campaign was beyond doubt, future Governments may have less of a commitment. This places further weight on the fact that theWelsh Government should be under a duty to promote awareness and understanding of the Bill beyond its commencement. Furthermore, the Children (EqualProtection from Assault) (Scotland) Bill quite clearly notes that, under section 2, the Scottish Ministers must take such steps as they consider appropriate topromote public awareness and understanding about the effect of section 1 on the abolition for the defence of reasonable punishment. Therefore, I would be"}

It means I'm supposed to read the minutes from the previous meeting .Industrial Designer: Oh really ?Project Manager: I think . {vocalsound}IndustrialDesigner: Okay .Marketing: Huh .Project Manager: I don't know . Otherwise it's just saying I'm the secretaryMarketing: {vocalsound} {vocalsound}ProjectManager: and I'm {disfmarker} therefore I'm taking the minutes , s so just to go um {vocalsound} just real briefly to go over minutes from last meeting , uh , Iwill open them slowly , no ? Wait for it , wait for it . {vocalsound}Marketing: Yeah that's not you . {vocalsound}Project Manager: No . That's how the{disfmarker}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound} Wait .User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: This is , this is veryhigh-powered stuff here , double-clicking , there we go . So um basically the moral of the story from our last minute uh {disfmarker} last meeting was that{vocalsound} um we that we had meetings from {disfmarker} uh we had presentations done by the Industrial Designer , uh or from Nathan , and Ron and fromSarah about what we can do here um and what sort of limitations we're operating with um {disfmarker} uh excuse me what limitations we're operating under ,what kind of risk we'd be looking at with some of the various approaches we were discussing and we essentially came to the conclusion that we should develop aremote with uh voice recognition , I_E_ that had a vaguely non-remote like shape um because you didn't really need to use it as a remote since you could justuse your voice . That would include some {disfmarker} mostly just the simple design features for a television operation but with a slide or a fold-out bay for moreadvanced functions for users . Um , and uh the uh uh the U_I_D_ and the I_D_ were asked to go ahead and start developing a prototype for us to look at .{vocalsound} So . That's sorted , back to the main {vocalsound} meet here , um , go ahead and take it away guys .Industrial Designer: Well . Uh , we haveassembled our prototype , um . What's to be said about it ? Um , we took into account a lot of the things that we went over in the last meeting , um . Some of themost important things to consider are that we decided not to go for the touch screen which you can seeProject Manager: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: andopted for some very large buttons for the primary functions , um . This is going to be the on off buttonProject Manager: {vocalsound} {vocalsound}IndustrialDesigner: and we have these buttons to go through the channels um and then two volume buttons down here , d uh we decided those were the most importantuh buttons . And then , for the more advanced uh functions there is a slide out panel here um and you can see that there are lots of other things going on . Butthis actually can slide back in and provides a very nice aesthetic when it's all put away , um . As far as the uh whole visible light thing , we decided to go with themultiple colours coming out ,User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: Ah .Project Manager: {vocalsound} Nice . {vocalsound}User Interface:{vocalsound}Industrial Designer: why not ?Marketing: {vocalsound} Fair enough .User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Of course , if that's annoyingfor some people that function can be turned off . Um .Project Manager: {vocalsound} Perfect .Industrial Designer: Go ahead .User Interface: No it's important to{vocalsound} we talked a quite a bit about uh you know the the interchangeable uh faces and what we've done here is come up with a bit of a natural lookhereMarketing: Mm .User Interface: um f we call it fruityMarketing: Right .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface: if you will .

Um , what other things do we see here , well , umif you give it a touch it does have actually a bit of a spongy feel ,Project Manager: {vocalsound}User Interface: um , so I think that will work well with regards toour market . Um and uh let's see , well clearly there's gonna be some more colours and what not available . {vocalsound} Um uh do you have anything else toadd to that ?Industrial Designer: Um I worried about the materials , it is uh {disfmarker} the entire thing is covered in a rubber coating so it's very durable uh ,it's not gonna break like some types of plastic that's dropped . Um , and of course as you can see and if you touch it it does have that nice squishy feel .UserInterface: It's actually important to note that the television , uh you know if there's an earthquake or anything like that , that i it actually is edible inside .ProjectManager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Fact , I dunno if you noticed, but I wrote the uh the company's name on the telephone screen ,Project Manager: Oh well done yeah , yeah oh okIndustrial Designer: I thought that was kindanice .Marketing: Nice .Industrial Designer: This was actually an apple on the inside .Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer:This {disfmarker}User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: Do we need to worry about um rot factors ? {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound}UserInterface: Um {vocalsound} it's encased in a new uh type of uhMarketing: Oh okay , there's preservatives involved ,Project Manager: {vocalsound}IndustrialDesigner: Yeah .User Interface: polymer yeah .Marketing: we don't need to worry ,Industrial Designer: We got a bit ahead of ourselves ,User Interface: It's fine.Marketing: okay .Industrial Designer: I know we're not talking about making televisions at this point or anything like that , but {disfmarker}User Interface: Hmm.Marketing: Fair enough .Project Manager: {vocalsound} Edible televisions , it's a wave of the future . {vocalsound}Marketing: No but {disfmarker}UserInterface: It's pos a possible new product .Marketing: {vocalsound} It's a couple years off at least . Okay .User Interface: Um , but I think that's {disfmarker} Ithink that sums up the main features of our {disfmarker} of the remote ,Project Manager: Brilliant .Industrial Designer: Right .User Interface: um I dunno if youguys have any questions or f whether that uh {disfmarker} whether we need to worry about any uh other marketing areas or anything of that nature . Um , didwe come in under budget ?Industrial Designer: Uh we did , yeah . This cost {disfmarker} well to put this into um production , we're looking at about {disfmarker}what was our goal ? It was twelve fifty Euro um and this actually came in at about eleven ninety nine .Project Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Um , soI was quite pleased with that .User Interface: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: One thing that we didn't do um {disfmarker} obviously we had a choice with thebuttons whether to use scroll buttons or standard rubber buttons , but we just went for a classic rubber button and um since we did thatMarketing: Mm .IndustrialDesigner: we didn't have to use as many microchips which was quite nice and that's what helped keep the cost down .Project Manager: Brilliant .IndustrialDesigner: So even though it has a lot of modern technology , um for example the voice recognition ,Marketing: Mm .Industrial Designer: in a lot of ways it's just asimple remote and um I think if we shopped around for other manufacturers um we might be able to get even cheaper .Marketing: Okay .User Interface: Mm .{vocalsound} Did we talk about the voice recognition uh option ?Industrial Designer: And {disfmarker} Oh no , we haven't talked about that yet have we ?UserInterface: So uh so uh yeah on the back here you all noticed this area here which is actually the voice recognition uh uh consoleProject Manager:{vocalsound}Marketing: Okay .User Interface: and uh I think it's nicely designed into the into the overall look .Marketing: Yeah .User Interface: Um , butbasically the voice recognition uh incorporates um the latest designs that our research team has been able to cufw uh come up with . Basically uh quite similar tothe coffee maker um design that we were talking about earlierMarketing: Mm 'kay .User Interface: and um , I think that uh has given a proven um {vocalsound}ease of use and what not .Industrial Designer: Hmm . Yeah .User Interface: And uh allows features like the remote actually talking back to the user um , so.Marketing: Right .Project Manager: Cool .Industrial Designer: Any questions ?Project Manager: No , noMarketing: {vocalsound} Do we have um other , for lackof a better word , skins ?

Welcome to the 15thmeeting of the House ofCommons Special Committee on the COVID-19 Pandemic. This will be a hybrid meeting. Members will be participating via video conference or in person.  I willremind you that in order to avoid issues with sound, members participating in person should not also be connecting by video conference. In order to ensure thatthose joining the meeting via video conference can be seen and heard by those in the chamber, two screens have been set up here on either side of the Speaker'schair, and members in the chamber can listen to the floor audio or to interpretation using the earpieces on their desks. Before speaking, please wait until Irecognize you by name and please direct your remarks through the chair. For those joining by video conference, I'd like to remind you to leave your microphoneson mute when you are not speaking. Also, please note that if you want to speak in English, you need to be on the English channel for interpretation, and if youwant to speak French, you should do so on the French channel. Should you wish to alternate between the two languages, please change to the channel for thelanguage that you happen to be using at the time. Should members participating by video conference need to request the floor outside their designated speakingtimes, they should activate their mic and state that they have a point of order. Those in the Chamber can rise in the usual way. Please note that today'sproceedings will be televised in the same way as a typical sitting of the House. We will now proceed to ministerial announcements. I invite the Right Hon. PrimeMinister to take the floor.Right Hon. Justin Trudeau (Papineau, Lib.): Thank you, Mr.Chair. I rise today to address what so many people of colour live with everyday. Over the past few days, we've seen horrific reports of police violence against black men and women south of the border, but these are not isolated incidentsor elsewhere problems. Prejudice, discrimination and violence are a lived reality for far too many people. They are a result of systems that far too often condone,normalize, perpetrate and perpetuate inequality and injustice against people of colour. As a country, we are not concerned bystanders simply watching what ishappening next door. We are part of it. The calls for justice, for equality and for peace are found echoed in our communities, because anti-black racism ishappening here, everywhere in Canada, every single day. This is something that our own staff, cabinet ministers and colleagues face even in these halls. Over thepast few days, I've heard many of these personal stories directly from them. I'm not just talking about acts of violence. I'm also talking about microaggressions,which many of us may not even see. That is the daily reality of far too many racialized Canadians, and it needs to stop. When it comes to being an ally, I havemade serious mistakes in the past, mistakes that I deeply regret and continue to learn from. I want to thank my colleagues, community leaders and fellowCanadians for opening my eyes to what is really going on in our communities and for helping me better understand both privilege and power. I'm not perfect, butnot being perfect is not a free pass to not do the right thing. It's not an excuse to not step up, stand up for each other, be an ally. I know that for so many peoplelistening right now, the last thing you want to hear is another speech on racism from a white politician. I'm not here today to describe a reality I do not know or tospeak to a pain I have not felt. I'm here because I want you to know that our government is listening. We hear your calls for justice, equality and accountability.We acknowledge your frustration, your anger, your heartbreak. We see you.  Since coming to office, our government has taken many concrete steps to fightanti-black racism, systemic discrimination and injustice across the country. We are working directly with the communities and their leaders to close the gaps thatpersist in Canada. For example, we have provided $9million to support programs for black Canadian youth. We have made significant investments to enable thePublic Health Agency of Canada to provide more mental health services to people who have experienced racism or intergenerational trauma. We are helpingcommunity organizations to obtain funding to purchase equipment or lease space. We have also created the anti-racism secretariat, which has an envelope of$4.6million, to address systemic barriers, such as employment, justice and social participation, that perpetuate injustice. We have made progress, but we knowthe work is far from being done.  Over the past five years, our government has worked with communities to recognize and address injustices. We've taken actionto support community organizations, invest in better data and fight racism. While we've made some progress, there is still so much more to do, because here arethe facts in Canada: Anti-black racism is real. Unconscious bias is real. Systemic discrimination is real. For millions of Canadians, it is their daily, lived reality. Thepain and damage it causes are real too. Mr. Chair, every Canadian who has felt the weight of oppression, every student who has the courage to demand a betterfuture, every person who marches and posts and reads and fights, from Vancouver to Montreal to Halifax, expects more than the status quo. They expect moreand deserve better.  The Government of Canada has a lot of work to do, but we're ready. We're ready to work with our opposition colleagues, community leadersand Canadians to make our country a more just and fair place. Racism never has a place in this country, and we will do everything we can to eradicate it fromcoast to coast to coast. Thank you, Mr.Chair.The Acting Chair (Mr. Bruce Stanton): The honourable Leader of the Opposition.Hon. Andrew Scheer (Leader of theOpposition): Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Over the past week, we have all been affected by the heartbreaking killing of George Floyd in the United States.The video is painful to watch. No one should ever have to plead for help while a crime is being committed, ignored by other members of law enforcement. Thetragedy triggered marches, occupations, protests and, unfortunately, riots. However, I hope it has mostly sparked conversations. Racism is real, painful andunacceptable.  No one should ever feel unsafe because of the colour of their skin, especially around police officers who have a duty and a responsibility to upholdthe law for all. Here in Canada, we are fortunate to live in a country that is welcoming, tolerant and inclusive. Canada was a beacon of freedom to so manyescaping slavery during the U.S. Civil War. Our nation has benefited immensely from great Canadians who overcame prejudices and discrimination to serve theircommunities and make Canada a better country: Lincoln Alexander, elected as a Conservative in 1968, was the first black member of Parliament and went on tobecome the first black cabinet minister; John Ware was born into slavery in South Carolina but, following the American Civil War, was a leading figure in bringingthe first cattle to Alberta and spearheading the ranching industry that would become the backbone of the province; Josiah Henson escaped slavery to become athriving businessman in Ontario; and of course, Viola Desmond challenged segregation in Nova Scotia. Black Canadians throughout history have not just built thisnation with their contributions; they have also represented Canada with excellence and pride on the world stage, like Harry Jerome, who represented Canada inthree Olympic Games and won a bronze medal in 1964. He would go on to become a teacher in British Columbia, once again serving with excellence to try tomake a better world for the next generation. Throughout our history, black Canadians have put their lives on the line for their fellow Canadians, bravely servingaround the world in our armed forces. While there are many things we can point to in our history with pride, that is not to say that we have a perfect record, northat we are immune to the threat of racism or that anti-black racism is just an American problem. Canada has had its own dark episodes of racism that cannot beignoredsadly, not just in our past. Every day, there are people who experience discrimination or racism in some form. Throughout this pandemic, we have seen atroubling spike in anti-Asian racism. No one should be attacked in their community or targeted on the bus because of the colour of their skin. Nor should places ofworship be broken into and desecrated, like the synagogue in Montreal. The Conservatives condemn all acts of anti-semitism, racism and discrimination. In apeaceful and free country like Canada, there is absolutely no room for intolerance, racism or extremism of any kind.  But the violence and destruction we haveseen in response are not the answer. Millions of people are protesting peacefully across the United States and in Canada, and we must always protect the rights ofpeople who are protesting peacefully and within the law for a just cause and separate them from those who exploit tragedies to commit acts of violence. Mr.Floyd's brother, Terrence, said that violence will not bring his brother back. Instead, he has called for peace and justice and urged the crowds to educatethemselves and to vote. Out of such tragedy, Mr. Chair, that is a powerful message about how each one of us can use our democratic rights to effect change. In apeaceful and free country like Canada, there is absolutely no room for intolerance, racism and extremism of any kind. We are not born believing we are betterthan one another. We are all created in the image and likeness of God, and because of that, we are all equal. An infinite value exists in each one of us.  Canada isan incredibly diverse country. Canada is a nation of immigrants that stands on the traditional territories of first nations, Inuit and Mtis people. Waves ofnewcomers have come to Canada for a better life because our country is built on a rock-solid foundation of enduring values, democratic institutions, the rule oflaw and fundamental and universal human rights. Everyone comes here because Canada is built on solid values, democratic institutions, and respect for the ruleof law, as well as for fundamental, universal human rights. We must absolutely protect these values, because they are what sets us apart. They allow Canada tooffer what so many other countries simply cannot. There are those who say that diversity is our strength, and that is true, but it doesn't quite capture the fullpicture. Diversity is the result of our strength, and our strength is and always has been our freedom. It is the freedom for people to preserve and pass on theircultural traditions and the opportunity to live in peace with those around them; the freedom to live your life with equality under the law, regardless of your race orethnic background; and the economic freedom that so many governments around the world deny their people. It is that economic freedom that ensures that hardwork pays off. It gives people the ability to work towards their dreams and choose their own path in life. Together, generations of Canadians who trace their rootsback to countries around the world have built Canada to truly the greatest country on earth, the true north strong and free.

Now{disfmarker}Project Manager: Uh this is what we have decided in the last meeting .

So uh it's a point to discuss .

For the interface uh I think that we can ach achieve uh all the desiredfunctionalities by s just uh using uh rubber buttons , simple buttons and th thus this allow to use a regular chip {vocalsound} that are uh well cheaper .{vocalsound}User Interface: Mm .Industrial Designer: And s so uh we can move to the next slide .User Interface: Sorry .Industrial Designer: Yeah .UserInterface: What is this single curved {disfmarker} what does it mean ?Industrial Designer: Well uh uh i i it's uh it's the the shape of the um of the remote .UserInterface: So it's it's not {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: You you will have the {disfmarker} well um the the curve will fit into your hand when you grab the{disfmarker}User Interface: Yo l yeah . When you hold on it , it is comfortable to hold .Industrial Designer: Yeah . It's more confog f comfortable that if these uhit's completely flat .User Interface: Okay . Yeah . And the battery , is it kind of a rechargeable or it doesn't matter ?Industrial Designer: Yeah the um that's thepoint . The kinetic one is uh y you can recharge uh by the um {disfmarker}User Interface: That that's what it means by kinetic .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Yeah and by {disfmarker} well by just by moving the ar uh your arm the mm well the remote will uh accumulate energy .User Interface: Okay . Mm-hmm . Okay.Industrial Designer: But I d I don't know it's {disfmarker} if it is feasible because I don't know if yet if if the user will move enough to provide the remote um allthe necessary energy .User Interface: Mm . {vocalsound} Mm . Okay . Yeah . Yeah . We we might check with our R_ and D_ department to see if they have thisproduct {vocalsound} ready for market . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Yeah . {vocalsound} And {disfmarker} yeah and so can you go to the next slideplease . So and uh that's uh that summarize well what I have said .User Interface: Mm mm . {vocalsound} {vocalsound} WhaIndustrial Designer: So uh you'reright we can uh see in our uh R_ and D_ uh {vocalsound} if the kinetic metal is sufficient to provide enough energy .User Interface: Ah the department . Mm.Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} That's it .User Interface: Uh {disfmarker} So I um keep in touch with the R_ and D_ department .Industrial Designer: OhyeahUser Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: I take care , it's all right .User Interface: {vocalsound} So the titanium case is the normal case that{disfmarker} I'll show you some pictures that I have and you tell me whether they are titanium case or not .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} All right . Yeah.User Interface: 'Cause I am not very sure , plastic , titanium or whatever . There's another point I want to make , is that the uh {disfmarker} well you've seenthem I le na my presentation that um I point out some {disfmarker} why buttons are not the mm not the only ways you can {vocalsound} use {disfmarker} Yeah. Yeah , maybe nIndustrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: We will , okay .User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Three .User Interface: Yeah .{vocalsound} So the user interface is uh i it uses the aspect uh of a computer system , a programme which can be seen or heard or otherwise perceived by thehuman userProject Manager: {gap}User Interface: and the commands and mechanism the user uses to control its operation and input data . So you s this givesyou the ways to input data and we have uh {disfmarker} we are more {disfmarker} we emphasise more on the graphical user interface here . The idea is torepresent buttons as figures , diagrams , symbols and on so you you can easily when you look at the symbols you understand what it is doing .Project Manager:What's the function of this button .User Interface: Yeah . Yeah . So .Project Manager: I think it makes the the interface really {disfmarker}User Interface: Ea easyto use . So next one .Project Manager: Graphical user interface {gap} .User Interface: {gap} function five . So I can use the button , the mouse maybe .ProjectManager: A graphical user interface emphasise the use of pictures .User Interface: Yeah . So next line . So the {disfmarker} here are some examples . So theycluster the buttons together . They group them into col they colour them and uh they have different forms as well . Mm but this interface are kind of confusing .Uh basically there are too many buttons . Right . Next one .Industrial Designer: Yeah .User Interface: So some people are propose voice recognition and so{disfmarker} ah by the way I receive an email from the from one our departments saying that the voice recognition has been used in the coffee machine{vocalsound} for this by a companyIndustrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface: when you tell the {disfmarker} you say good morning coffee machine andthe machine are reply to you . So I just got an email saying that .Industrial Designer: Mm-hmm mm mm .User Interface: And it seems like this voice recognitiontechnology is ready to be used so we might consider that , supposedly .Industrial Designer: Yeah fine .User Interface: {vocalsound} The next one . Mm sosomebody {disfmarker} some people use uh some people use a spinning wheel th with the L_C_ display so instead of using the mm buttons you have a L_C_D_screen and then there you can u you can use that as buttons , you can use that as real {disfmarker} so so that could be an option as well . Touch screen , I mean.Project Manager: Yeah .User Interface: Next one . And some people propose a scroll button . Integrated with push buttons or you may have scroll button insteadof p just the push button . Like the one we have here . Uh , next one . So mmProject Manager: Mm-hmm .User Interface: so there are a few aspects that Icollected here . So s basically this deals with special users , children , handicapped people , old people , and uh mm and prog basically they are programmable ,specially for children . And uh mm {disfmarker} yeah yeah . And then they also secure uh covers , to protect uh secure and hidden programming and batterycovers that will protect your settings . So {disfmarker} But we don't have to integrate all these complicated features . I'm just saying that the {disfmarker}currently in the market there are there are control there are remote controllers f {gap} customisable for different people . Yeah , so that's the point . The nextone . And uh you see this is the one where you have the protection cover . Mm maybe useful for children , they migh you you they only see the buttons outside .And for adults wh where you have more control you can see the one inside . So the adults might wanna have a key to lock that to pr so children will not touch thebutton inside .Industrial Designer: Yeah .User Interface: Yeah .Industrial Designer: S a good idea .User Interface: The next one .Industrial Designer:{vocalsound}User Interface: So this guy {disfmarker} this is another company that provides big buttons . At {disfmarker} I see that that is useful for old peopleand then you don't get it lost . But for our product we don't need a big one because you have voice recognition e eventually with use .Industrial Designer: Yeah.User Interface: And you can call your remote controller if you don't know where it is .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound} T_V_remote controller where are you ?Project Manager: {vocalsound}User Interface: And then , he will beeps and to say that I am here , {vocalsound} for example.Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {gap} We should include speech synthesis in this case , no ?User Interface: Is it possible ?IndustrialDesigner: Yeah .Marketing: Yeah .User Interface: Uh ? {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Yeah but uh as Norman say if uh there is uh already a commercialproduct available who t who do this we we can check uh to integrate it i into our uh new remote control .Marketing: Yeah .User Interface: Yeah . Yeah . Yeah .Yeah . And uh , this is another one where you can uh {disfmarker} the the the part that's a V_ standing for the volume . So there's a up arrow and a down arrow. But you the see that in the V_ , the V_ appears to be the down arrow on the top {disfmarker} on the top up arrow {disfmarker} {vocalsound} if you{disfmarker}Project Manager: Mm-hmm .User Interface: up arrow there's a V_ like as as if it's turning down so it's confusing interface , so I wanna avoid thiskind of thing in the design .Industrial Designer: Yeah yeah .User Interface: And here are {disfmarker} is uh here is a s short summary that I summary that Icompiled after the findings I found . Big buttons are convenient , voice recognition helps , push buttons , scroll buttons , spinning wheels can be used asnavigation tools . And uh user customisable is important and finally simplicity simplicity is the key . Yeah . So {vocalsound} we have many concepts"}

Next to that I kinda miss a zero actually .User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound}Wait , there's {disfmarker} was one thing I wanted to ask .Marketing: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing:{vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Uh , there are different ways for remote controls to uh {vocalsound} do uh likeMarketing:{vocalsound}Project Manager: uh d I call it teens and twenties . Uh , y th th th the two numbers .Industrial Designer: Yes .Marketing: All n no , that's um{vocalsound} kinda dependent on the television .User Interface: Yeah , true , yeah .Industrial Designer: It's a television . Yes .Project Manager: Yeah , but do wehave {disfmarker} do we need extra buttons ,User Interface: Uh {disfmarker}Project Manager: {vocalsound} for example some uh some have to{disfmarker}User Interface: Uh I think so .Marketing: I think {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Yes , yes , you have you have a lot of standard buttons that has tobe uh on it , uh th with the one and a double uh uh {disfmarker}Marketing: Yeah , I think you should add {disfmarker} {vocalsound}User Interface: Zero?Marketing: A cross , or whatever . Yeah , line .Project Manager: Yeah , but you don't you don't actually need them ,User Interface: May maybe here ?IndustrialDesigner: yes .Project Manager: becau b l a lot of remote controls work that y when y that you when you fir you push the one first , then you have a couple ofseconds {disfmarker}User Interface: Yeah . And then a second .Marketing: No , that's dependent on the television .Project Manager: No , I don't think so.Industrial Designer: Yes , you have televisions , then you have to , you know , you have to uh press {disfmarker}Marketing: I do know so .User Interface: Is itdepending on television ?Project Manager: Nah , I don't think so really ,Marketing: Yeah .Project Manager: because you have a {disfmarker} I know some remotecontrols that don't have these buttons , but you still can , know , obviously you can still select the twenty {disfmarker} uh a number in the twenty or in the ten.Industrial Designer: Yes , but but a lot {disfmarker} uh {disfmarker}Marketing: Yes , but uh uh no uh remote control nowadays are um {disfmarker}{vocalsound} they come with the television . Or actually , the other way around .Project Manager: No , I think {disfmarker} uh I really think it's nMarketing: But{disfmarker} {vocalsound}Project Manager: because you can {disfmarker} when when you put a button on it with like one and uh then a dash , it's the samething as when you just push the one ,Marketing: Yeah .Project Manager: because it i it first gives you the functionality of that that uh separate button you alsohad to uh apply .Industrial Designer: Yes , butMarketing: Yeah , well {disfmarker} but su {vocalsound} If {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: some televisionsdon't accept uh that that {disfmarker}Project Manager: Yeah , because that's i it's for television . It's exact the same thing .Industrial Designer: No , no , butsMarketing: No no no . So some television respond differently . Look , if uh i iProject Manager: No , listen listen . When you push the button , the remote controlgives a signal . I in th in the first place it gives a signal which it would also send when you put a separate button on it .Marketing: Yes . Yes , that's true .ProjectManager: The one with dash , that signal gi and when y whe when you don't push another button on the remote control within five seconds , then the remotecontrol gives a signal for channel one .User Interface: Yeah . True .Marketing: No {disfmarker}Project Manager: I think it works that way , really .Marketing: No ,it it it works uh if you haven't got uh a special button for it , uh if you push a one , then on your television there will appear a one and a a line , which is an emptyspace .Project Manager: {vocalsound} Yeah , but it's exact the same {gap} that w would appear when you put a separate button {disfmarker} push a separatebutton .Industrial Designer: Yes , but some some old televisions uh you have to uh click on uh a special button , uh then you go to a a next level , you can pushtwo buttons .Project Manager: Yeah , but you don't underst uh you don't understand my point .Marketing: Yep . {vocalsound} True .Project Manager: I think it'sexact the same thing when yIndustrial Designer: You want {disfmarker} Yes , but some television don't support it .Project Manager: No , but then they would awould also support that button , because it's the same thing .User Interface: But the exProject Manager: Listen , with {disfmarker} that that's that special butbutton {gap} you're talking about , eh ? That's just a signal to recei ju they send a t signal to the v tv T_V_ that they have to put a one in {disfmarker} on yourscreen and a dash , which you can pu so you can uh still put another number on it . When you don't have that separate button , and you push y one , it's exactlythe same thing . Do y you {disfmarker} the remote control gives that same signal as it would give when you only had {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: No,Marketing: No , s some some televisions need the input first uh and and you cIndustrial Designer: a remote can {disfmarker}Project Manager: Yeah .IndustrialDesigner: Yes ,Project Manager: But you give the input .Industrial Designer: so they need {disfmarker} no , they need {disfmarker}Project Manager: You pushthe one . That's the same thing as the button with the one and it {disfmarker}Marketing: No , that's not true .Project Manager: yes it it is .Marketing: It's simplynot true . It's simply not true .Project Manager: Think about it .User Interface: Yeah .Industrial Designer: No ,User Interface: You uh you can wai when you pushthe one you can show on the telly a one and just a dash , and then wait uh two uh seconds or something {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: but uh{disfmarker}Marketing: Uh {disfmarker}Project Manager: And it's the same thing what happens and a g remote control gives another signal after five secondsthat is just one .Marketing: No , remote control doesn't give signal after five seconds . Remote control is a stupid thing . If you push a button , it sends itimmediately to to the television .Project Manager: Yeah , that's true . Yeah , but I m uh but it's {disfmarker} I I know for sure that some televisions that w th ththe remote control supplied , only ha has the c these buttons with a one and a dash and a two and a dash , but when you use a bu a n remote control that doesn'tsport these buttons , it still works .Industrial Designer: Yeah , it {disfmarker}Project Manager: But okay , we we'll implMarketing: No , definitely not . Definitelynot .User Interface: We'll discuss them in the usability lab .Project Manager: No , we'll apply them then for now .User Interface: Uh eva evaluation .Marketing:{vocalsound}User Interface: I don't know uh I don't know if if it's it's necessary .Project Manager: Yeah , app just apply them next to the zero , the one and thetwo .User Interface: Yeah ?Project Manager: Yeah , I think so . Yeah , for now , if we don't know for sure whether {disfmarker} {vocalsound}User Interface:{vocalsound} Okay .Industrial Designer: And the button for the SCART uh audio video uh external input .Marketing: Yes .User Interface: Ach .Project Manager:Yeah but {disfmarker}Marketing: Uh , you can access that uh via zero , and then minus , I guess .Project Manager: okay . {vocalsound} What I said about uh theremote control sending another signal , that that might not be true ,Marketing: Yeah .User Interface: Yeah .Project Manager: but I still think i it it {disfmarker} allT_V_s in some ways support it , I don't know . I think it's more c is m maybe we don't {disfmarker} uh we both don't really understand how it i how it reallyworks ,Industrial Designer: No , no .Project Manager: but I think there's more to in than wha than what you just said .Industrial Designer: Uh , remote controlsends one signal at one button uh press .Project Manager: I do think that uh m T_V_s support mur multiple kind of remote controls . MIndustrial Designer: Uh ,some {disfmarker} N some televisions when when you want to go further than uh ten {disfmarker}Project Manager: Th won't work wi with uh{disfmarker}Industrial Designer: No , you have to you have to uh give the television uh two or more signals .Project Manager: to have that special button.Industrial Designer: When you uh press one button , you give one signal .

W uh {vocalsound} . Three . It's the final design ,yeah .Project Manager: Okay just one {gap} .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound} S so so I discussed with Guillaume .IndustrialDesigner: Mm . {vocalsound} Yeah .User Interface: Right . {vocalsound} And uh {vocalsound} so we have {vocalsound} {disfmarker} and we we are bothagreed on some two versions of the prototypes , because we were no not decided whether we wanted to have an L_C_D_ or not because it's too expensive . Sowe come up with two versions . One with and one without L_C_D_s . Um but both comes with a charger and then detachable and uh or {gap} control module .And detachable big buttons for all people um . So {vocalsound} .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} S okay so I'll show you the the two prototypes {vocalsound} .Here we have the first one with the beautiful uh L_C_D_ um display . You you can s here . And you can uh just um browse into the the navigation menu by uhjoystick joystick-like uh button .User Interface: Mm .Industrial Designer: You can uh choose the direction and if you just push on it it's considered like a enterfunction .User Interface: Mm . Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: You have on the mm on the side here the microphone for the {vocalsound} for the speechrecognition system here .User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: And here the the switch that control if you want {disfmarker}Project Manager: Whyyou why you you put it in the the side ?Industrial Designer: Well I I I think uh it's the {disfmarker}Project Manager: It's not a good place maybe {gap} .IndustrialDesigner: Yeah but {disfmarker}User Interface: No i i it's the all around camer uh microphone isn't it . The the microphone picks up the speeches from anywhere.Industrial Designer: Yeah .Marketing: Is it an only a single mic or a microphone array ?Industrial Designer: Well so it's a microphone array .User Interface:{vocalsound}Project Manager: Oh it's very costly , microphone array {vocalsound} .Marketing: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} NoUser Interface:Yeah {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: it's just a single microphone , and you {disfmarker} I I think uh we we put it here because I think when you when you arebrowsing your L_C_D_ you will be close to {disfmarker}User Interface: Mm .Marketing: Yeah .Industrial Designer: well it's better to to to place it here th thanhere , for instance .User Interface: Yeah {vocalsound} yeah .Marketing: Okay .Industrial Designer: And here is a little switch that control if you want the thespeaker uh recognition system to um to be on or off . And uh so this remote control comes up with its charger .Project Manager: How much does it cost this one?Industrial Designer: Well this this prototype is um made for about uh well fi fi fifteen fifteen dollarsUser Interface: For the {disfmarker}Project Manager: Fifteendollars ?User Interface: Yeah .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} fifteen dollars ,Project Manager: Ah it's above it's above the budget .Industrial Designer: but uhwell it's not it's not uh {disfmarker} yeah , but uh it's just a prototype and if we uh if we optimises the um the uh {disfmarker} voila .Marketing: The cost wouldbe le reduced .Industrial Designer: Yeah the {gap} and the the production costs we we can achieve uh about ten dollars . {gap}User Interface: Mm . Hmm.Project Manager: How many b battery is there ?Industrial Designer: How many , excuse me ?Project Manager: Battery .Industrial Designer: Well uh f battery ,we use uh about uh {disfmarker}User Interface: Is it n the two A_A_s batteries in it .Industrial Designer: Yeah .User Interface: A_A_ rechargeable batteries.Industrial Designer: Rechargeable of course ,User Interface: Yeah rechargeable batteries .Industrial Designer: because we have the charger .User Interface: Wehave the charger so it's no problem .Industrial Designer: Yeah and you just {disfmarker}Project Manager: So one one battery ?Industrial Designer: On uh yeahone battery .Marketing: Is that two or one ?User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: It's kinetic reserve .User Interface: {vocalsound} Actually uh it's aflexible thing .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}User Interface: You just n uh {disfmarker}Marketing: Now what is the whole day ratingfor that ?Industrial Designer: The {disfmarker} excuse me ?Marketing: Whole day's rating .User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: What type of battery?Industrial Designer: Oh yeah it's just a r uh simple battery a rechargeable uh {disfmarker}User Interface: Yeah yeah .Industrial Designer: if you uh like it's exist.Marketing: Something like a two A_ , A_ three size batteries ?Industrial Designer: Yeah .User Interface: Yeah {vocalsound} .Marketing: Mm-hmm .IndustrialDesigner: So and if you want to charge the battery you just put the remote control like that to plug in the the chargerUser Interface: Yeah . Yeah .IndustrialDesigner: and uh leave it uh alone , it's alright .User Interface: Mm . {vocalsound} At uh {vocalsound} yeah .Industrial Designer: Then the next time you pick it ,ohProject Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: it works {vocalsound} .User Interface: I forgot to tell you there is only a single button there , b this button{disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Yeah just explain the button uh Norman .User Interface: yeah alright . This button is like the mouse {disfmarker} is like ajoystick ,Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface: you can move in three hundred and sixty degrees of direction so you can make a turn and it{disfmarker} the additi functions associated to all the actions you ma you have a click you have a double click all in a single button {vocalsound} .ProjectManager: Mm .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface: You can move up , down , left , right , or you can do a swing . So a swing to the left , a swing tothe right defines other functions . So even though it's a single button , but it is pretty s flexible because of the three hundred and sixty degree movement{vocalsound} .Marketing: And the L_C_D_ is this one , on the remote ?User Interface: Yeah . This is the version y that comes with L_C_D_ .Industrial Designer:Yep .Marketing: Yeah .User Interface: Here I present another version without the L_C_D_ .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: I think it's not agood idea because after maybe one or two months of function is {gap} getting destroyed .User Interface: Mm .Project Manager: If youUser Interface: Uh okaythis is new prototype uh {vocalsound} .Project Manager: {gap} {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Yeah it's {disfmarker}Project Manager: {vocalsound}IndustrialDesigner: So we have the the second version also with the different uh button configuration . The second version is also simpler , we d uh we had just uh I haveto put the microphone also {vocalsound} .User Interface: {vocalsound} Yeah yeah .Marketing: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: So basically th it's the same uh{disfmarker}Marketing: Uh-huh and also the switch .Project Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: yeah {vocalsound} .Marketing: {vocalsound} Okay.Industrial Designer: Basically it's the same uh things uh uh as uh I presented before . But here we have uh we have uh four buttons for navigation . Press onebutton uh acting as a a enter button .User Interface: Mm . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: So um yeah according to what you said it's more robust to the user.Project Manager: Mm-hmm .User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: And uh it's also cheaper to produce . We can produce uhsuch remote control for about uh four dollars . {vocalsound}Project Manager: No four dollars , it's {vocalsound} {gap} good . {gap}User Interface:{vocalsound}Marketing: And I think you forgot a point here to have an button to find the charger ,User Interface: Oh noMarketing: because that's a major that'sa {disfmarker}User Interface: th actually th we'll come to that point in our {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Yeah it's it's it's embed in the uh speech recognitionsystem .User Interface: Yeah .Marketing: OkayIndustrial Designer: So {disfmarker}Marketing: and if you disable speech recognition system then ?User Interface:W w I'll I'll come to that point later on .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} so Norman will explain to you {vocalsound} .Marketing: Mm hmm hmm hmm hmmhmm .Project Manager: And we will we will serve the charger with this ?User Interface: Yeah .Marketing: Okay .Industrial Designer: Yeah yeah of course mm{gap} .User Interface: Th they {vocalsound} either these with the {disfmarker} uh the the charger anyProject Manager: With the remote control .User Interface:in either versions you they they ha they use the same charger yeah .Project Manager: Okay so the price of the charger included in the {disfmarker}UserInterface: Uh it's a standard module so you should get it for a cheap price uh {vocalsound} .Project Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}{vocalsound} Thank thank you {vocalsound} .Project Manager: Mm-hmm . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: And so mm-hmm .User Interface: It's that samecharger that you can use for the hand-phone but uh again depends on the types . I think we have to investigate more on that , but {vocalsound}{disfmarker}Project Manager: The price should be below twelve and a half Euro .User Interface: {vocalsound} Yeah . YeahProject Manager: Well that's{disfmarker} so {disfmarker}User Interface: but as the Marketing Manager says , people is willing to {disfmarker} people are willing to pay more for good design.Project Manager: We have we have just {vocalsound} {disfmarker}Marketing: Yeah people are willing to pay more ,User Interface: {vocalsound}IndustrialDesigner: {vocalsound}Marketing: but the company is not willing to invest more at the moment .Project Manager: The price of selling is twenty five Euros .UserInterface: Yeah . Yeah . Mm-hmm .Project Manager: And the price of production {disfmarker}User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Alright please uhgo on Norman with the special features {vocalsound} .Marketing: Or uh {disfmarker}User Interface: Yeah we'll we'll come up to that , the the the thing thatmakes this the controller cheap is that it is modular so you want more function you pay more .

The b Uh we will sell the t at twentyfive Euros . And we have only twenty of twelve and a half Euro to make it . So {vocalsound} now we have to think about what we will make . First I wanna hearfrom you . Uh what are your experiences with remote controls . So {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Uh I will start .Project Manager: F first {gap} .IndustrialDesigner: Uh {disfmarker} {gap}Marketing: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Big one , they are uh not easy to use . Um I have one set and uh a remote control, when I dropped it , uh it broke . So that won't be uh our goal , I think .User Interface: No .Industrial Designer: And uh g big buttons , {vocalsound} m uh that'seasier to use than uh {disfmarker} I think . Not all the small buttons , you don't know {disfmarker}Project Manager: Is this positive or negative , that uh bigbuttons ?Industrial Designer: Big buttons , positive .Project Manager: Positive .Industrial Designer: All all small buttons like when you have uh like a hundredbuttons on your remote control , you won't know what they're working for .Project Manager: Okay . What are your experiences ?User Interface: Uh well I thinkthe the the goal of a remote control is that it's it it has an influence on the T_V_ set .Project Manager: Mm .User Interface: And that it controls the channels andthe the volume . And uh I I I think it's positive if there's a a LED uh uh a LED on the corner of the of the remote . So that you know it s it still has batteries on it{disfmarker} in it . And that if you push the button the LED uh gives a light , and uh and you see that it's working . And uh yeah . Uh {disfmarker}ProjectManager: So and do they always have that ?User Interface: Yeah , but {disfmarker} No no no . But I {disfmarker} my my experience is that it it it's convenientto have that .Project Manager: It's easy to you .User Interface: Yeah . Yeah .Project Manager: Okay . 'Kay .Marketing: Uh at home we have a T_V_ , a video uhrecorder , a D_V_D_ player , and a satellite receiver . We have uh four distinctive remote controls for that .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Thank you.Marketing: That's not really ea easy .Industrial Designer: Help also . {vocalsound} Thank you .Marketing: So it would be nice if we have one for all . And we alsohad a remote control for our radio set . But um i it it had a lot of buttons on it , and you didn't know which one was what . And it was uh uh v {vocalsound} noteasy to use . So we n barely used it .Project Manager: Okay so they have too much . So next .User Interface: Hmm .Project Manager: For our own remote controlwe have to think how do we make it . So what ideas do you have for it , for the new remote control ? What what does it have to have ? {vocalsound}IndustrialDesigner: The weight . Not not too heavy .Project Manager: Not too heavy . Yes .Industrial Designer: Not much buttons .Project Manager: Yeah .IndustrialDesigner: Bust-free . That when you drop it , it won't break . Like uh some kind of rubber on it . Or hard uh hard plastic . Uh buttons not too small . Uh somethinglike when you uh lose your uh remote control , sometimes it happen . Uh it between the couch and you can't find it .Project Manager: Yes .Industrial Designer:When you push a but a button on the T_V_ , then you hear some {gap} {disfmarker} uh some sort of bleep .User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Likea phone .Industrial Designer: And then you uh , hey there there's remote control .Project Manager: Okay .Marketing: Yeah .Industrial Designer:{vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound} Yeah .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: So ,Industrial Designer: Next .Project Manager: that's{gap} .User Interface: Yeah well that's {disfmarker} that are good ideas . Uh {disfmarker} Yeah well the LED on the corner , that that indicates that it's working. If you push a button . Um {disfmarker} Yeah . And looking on the budget , not too expensive uh material . So probably plastic or something . Uh{disfmarker}Project Manager: Okay .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: Yeah I think it uh {disfmarker} from a marketing point of view , it also has tolook nice . Or you won't sell it .Project Manager: Yes .Marketing: And um yeah uh on our website we can see what products we already have . And it should workwith as many uh as possible of them .Project Manager: Okay . This is {disfmarker} It has to be compatible with other things .Marketing: Yes .Project Manager:Okay .Industrial Designer: I have one more idea . Just popped up .Project Manager: Yes ?Industrial Designer: Uh it it won't take a lot of batteries . So you don't{disfmarker} won't have to change the batteries uh once a week or uh once every two weeks .Project Manager: No battery use . So more ideas ?User Interface:Mm no .Project Manager: No okay . It's only the first ideas . So {vocalsound} uh what are we going to do now is {disfmarker} Next meeting is in half an h hour .Uh {disfmarker} {vocalsound} Okay . Next meeting , half an hour . Um , what you have to do . Well look on your {gap} . And {disfmarker} Next instructionsyou'll get in your email . So {disfmarker} This is the first meeting . See you later in half an hour .User Interface: Yes .Industrial Designer: Okay . Thank you.Marketing: Okay ."}

We've received apologies for absence from SuzyDavies, and I'm very pleased to welcome Angela Burns, who is substituting for Suzy this morning. We've also received apologies from Dawn Bowden. Can I alsowelcome Siân Gwenllian to the meeting? Siân is joining us from her constituency office via video-conference. Can I ask Members if they've got any declarations ofinterest, please? Hefin.Hefin David AM: Apologies. I'm currently registered as an associate lecturer at Cardiff Metropolitan University, although I haven't done anywork for them for some time.Lynne Neagle AM: Okay. Thank you very much. We'll move on, then, to item 2 this morning, which is our evidence session on thehigher education new academic year allocations. I'm very pleased to welcome David Blaney, who is chief executive of the Higher Education Funding Council forWales, and Bethan Owen, who is deputy chief executive of HEFCW. Thank you, both, for attending this morning. We're looking forward to hearing what you've gotto say. If you're happy, we'll go straight into questions from Members, and the first questions are from Angela Burns.Angela Burns AM: Good morning. Thank youvery much, indeed. I just wanted to talk about, really, the financial sustainability of the higher education sector because, as we know, there's been all sorts ofthings going on in the press. So, can I just start with, actually, quite a technical question and ask you what the financial indicators look like for the universitieshere in Wales, and are there particular indicators that are really flashing warning signals to you?Dr David Blaney: Well, shall I just start with a couple ofcontextualising comments and Bethan can come in then with some detail? It's undeniably the case there are financial challenges facing our universities. Theyresult from three main causes: one is the impact of the demographic dip of 18-year-olds, which is deeper and longer in Wales than it is elsewhere in the UK.There are increased pension costs and, actually, increased costs generally. And, of course, we also have current uncertainty as a result of the Augar review inEngland, and whether that might play into Wales, and also Brexit. These challenges are not unique to Wales; the majority of the UK universities are actuallytaking out cost one way or another. So, this is not a Welsh issue. Before the Diamond review of fees and funding in Wales, there was a pre-existing funding gap inresource between England and Wales, and even now, that's still the case. So, Welsh higher education institutions are approximately £40 million worse off thanthey would be in the English system. That's a challenge, and that is a result from a political decision to invest in students, and that's fine. The money's gone intothe system but it hasn't gone into universities, necessarily. So, these are serious challenges for institutions to manage, but I think it is a managed situation. We'renot seeing a crisis; we are seeing some real challenges, and there is a distinction, I think, between—. We have to understand, though, that taking out cost tobalance the books has a detrimental effect on the capacity. Obviously it impacts on the people who lose their jobs immediately, but there's a medium to longerterm impact on the capacity of the system to deliver for Wales. They are taking out capacity; they're not cutting at fat now, they're cutting out core capacity. Andso, the range of the curriculum, the range of research and innovation, the range of the contribution that universities can make will be diminished by that. Andagainst that backdrop, the introduction of the Diamond reforms is hugely important—delivery of that is going to be really important—and we are really pleased tosee the Minister able to meet her commitments in respect of that. The Diamond money is coming in. This forthcoming year will be the first year we see anincrease in the resource, through us, to higher education. And the projections in future years are better still, and that will be extremely important. Theperformance of the sector is very good; we had the national student survey results out yesterday. Wales is still the best in the UK, which is excellent. We have thebest impact from research in Wales across the UK. So, all of that is very positive, but that is also being done at some cost. There are some very tired staff inuniversities, and we've seen some stuff in the press recently about some of the impact of stress there as well.Angela Burns AM: Can I bring you back to thefinancial element of that? Can I just ask a question: what are the university reserves looking like at present?Dr David Blaney: Here, I refer to my learnedfriend.Bethan Owen: The reserves are a measure. There's a difference between the distributable reserves—I don't have those numbers before me, but looking atreserves, what is more important are those reserves that are available as cash or liquid cash. So, universities have reserves, but a large amount of that is tied upin their estates, so they're not immediately realisable. So, one of the key measures that we're looking at, which is even more important than surpluses anddeficit, is the operating cash that our universities are generating at the moment. When we look at operating cash in 2017-18, they were generating, as apercentage of income, about 7.6 per cent, which contrasts with nearly 10 per cent for the same year for English institutions. And that represents their capacity togenerate surplus cash to meet their costs, which now, increasingly, include the costs of servicing their borrowings. So, again, because capital funding has notbeen as available to universities as it was, they've invested in their estates and that's largely been funded by borrowings. The costs of those borrowings have tobe met on an annual basis, so that's becoming an increasing proportion of the operating cash that universities have.Angela Burns AM: I just asked that questionbecause I know that about four years ago, the universities were sitting on substantial reserves and were less than keen to deploy them back into actually usingthem for the students—it was more about building up the war chest, if you like, of the universities. And I just really wanted to have an understanding of how thatpicture might have changed over the last four years and are they actually skinnier cats now, rather than before.Bethan Owen: We can get you that analysis, buteven four years ago, I think the definition of exactly what's meant by reserves, it's really important to look at what are distributable reserves as opposed to theassets that universities have.Angela Burns AM: Yes, I do understand the difference.Bethan Owen: And, there are also differences in the way that universities havesecured funding for investing in their estates. So, for example, Cardiff University have had a bond rather than borrowing, which you draw down as you'respending. So, in the short term, the reserves of Cardiff will appear as though they have significant cash balances, but all of those are restricted for investment inthe estate and, over the next two or three years, will be utilised for that.Angela Burns AM: So, overall, you're painting a picture of a sector that's under asignificant degree of financial stress, and this is obviously using your key financial indicators. Do you monitor each and every university, or do you wait for themto come back and tell you what their situation is?Bethan Owen: We monitor, we receive forecasts, five-year forecasts, and we meet frequently with all ouruniversities now. It varies, depending on the risks of the universities, as to how frequently we meet, but we're actually meeting with every university becauseeven the forecast that we received last July, the changes, even in the 12-month period, are significant enough for us to need a better understanding of what thelatest position is. The forecasts, if I just run through—. We had a sector that, in 2017-18, had a deficit. Although it had a turnover and income of £1.5 billion,which had increased, nonetheless it had a small deficit of 0.4 per cent of income in 2017-18, which was an improvement on the deficit the year before of 1.7 percent, but notably, again, the sector in England were looking at surpluses of 3 per cent to 4 per cent in the same period. The forecasts that we had this time lastyear were indicating that, for 2018-19, we should have a sector that's roughly in a break-even position, but that has to be caveated with waiting for new forecastsin July, where there will have to be a reflection of the pension costs, and there have been significant changes in pension costs, both for the teachers' pensionscheme and the universities' superannuation scheme as well, and those will be significant costs that universities have to build into their forecasts at a time whentheir income, certainly their fee income, is not increasing, and that is the challenge.Angela Burns AM: Are we going to lose any universities in the next couple ofyears?Dr David Blaney: I don't think so. As I said earlier on, we're not seeing a crisis, we're seeing really challenging circumstances for institutions to manage. Atthe moment, our sense is they are managing them, so one of the things we try to do is to make sure that, insofar as we can see it, we are making sure that theinstitutions are alert to the challenges they're facing, and are actually engaging those challenges properly, and we are seeing that at the moment. So I think whatwe will see if the pressure continues unabated is more costs being taken out, so more jobs being lost, more capacity being lost, but that's not the same as fallingover. I don't see people falling over. There is always the possibility of structural change within the sector, and that might be one of the solutions that institutionsthink about, but it's not a policy position, and it's not always a good short-term response to crisis anyway, actually. But I think, as I say, we're in a managedsituation, but the challenges are quite acute. But I don't see an institution falling over in the foreseeable future.Angela Burns AM: When you talk about structuralchange, are you referring to the fact that certain offshoots or divisions might close? I bring this up because I'm the Assembly Member for Carmarthen West andSouth Pembrokeshire, and I have had multiple representations from students, and their parents, who are about to go to Lampeter and who've been told thatcourses are being restructured, there's a massive staff loss, and they have concerns about whether the three-year commitment they're about to make to a courseis going to be able to be sustained. So I am trying to drill down a little bit, because I think it's only fair for the students to know what they're up against, and alsoit's a bit like in the great depression—you can start a run on something, can't you? Because if enough people believe it, then suddenly enough people will stopgoing to what is an excellent little university, really top-quality in medieval literature, in archaeology. And I'm just talking about one, but I know there areproblems in other universities around Wales, so I just wondered if you could comment on that and also what processes you as HEFCW might have in place toprotect any student who does find themselves in a situation where their course appears to be disappearing before their eyes.Dr David Blaney: So, there's quite alot in that question, actually. Let me try not to forget any of the elements. First of all, your comment about causing a run is a serious consideration. So, if we look"}

Is everyone here ? {vocalsound}Marketing:{vocalsound} Yep . {vocalsound}User Interface: Yep .Project Manager: Okay . This is our conceptual design meeting . And {disfmarker} {vocalsound} I'll justtake a few minutes and uh go through the previous minutes . Um then each of you will have your presentation , um and then we will need to make a decision onthe concept for the remote control . And then we'll have uh forty minutes for finishing up . Um {disfmarker} {vocalsound} I'll go through the mee through theminutes first . Um , we just refreshed our our uh goal of making the finest remote control available .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager:{vocalsound} Um we decided that , or we know that we need to use company colours , company logo . Um {vocalsound} and our Marketing Expert uh gave ussome i uh information from interviews with a hundred different remote users . Um with some statistics that backed basically what we were thinking before .People thought their remotes were ugly , um um that remotes zap a lot . Um they only use uh a finite amount of buttons .Industrial Designer:{vocalsound}Project Manager: Um and that they often lose the {disfmarker} it's easy to lose a remote . Um which were all things we were thinking we would{disfmarker} wanna make it simple . Um {disfmarker} {vocalsound} And uh some sort of locator . Either a button or tracking device . Um {disfmarker} And thatit should look different than what's out there . Um {disfmarker} Kind of mixed mixed response on the speech recognition . The younger people said they wanted it, older people did not . Um uh I think we decided that um the expense was not necessarily worth it , and that it was probably a gimmick , that um wouldincreasingly wear on the consumers' nerves . Um {vocalsound} {disfmarker} Then the User Interface Designer um explored some of the technical functions ofthe remote . Um the simple versus the um the complex . The simple one being better for a user , the complex better for an engineer . Um {disfmarker} Um andsome personal preferences that were found in that would be that it should be a user-oriented remote , something simple . Um and that we didn't wanna go with auniversal remote , because uh increasing cost and increasing complexity . Um we would just have a T_V_ remote . Um and that we should also focus on theappearance of the remote . Have it s be something that looks different . And finally our um Industrial Designer uh gave us a rundown of how the remote will work. Um from energy source , um uh what we would use . Batteries because we don't wanna have a a cable . Um {disfmarker} {vocalsound} How that would powerthe remote and the lamp . If we were to to have one . Uh um the user interface then would connect to a chip , {vocalsound} which would work with the infraredcontrols uh to send the signal to the T_V_ . Um {disfmarker} I believe then we came up with a couple of ideas for what we think the design of the remote will be .Um {disfmarker} {vocalsound} Um something that will fit into uh easily into someone's hand . {vocalsound} And with a , just a few buttons . Just the basics .And with a scrolling um function also . Okay and I will leave that , leave it at that . So {disfmarker} Marketing ?Marketing: Okay .Project Manager: We'rewatching trends .Marketing: Yep . Can I have your cable please ?Project Manager: I suppose that you can have this .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing:Thanks . Okay so I was looking at trend-watching . Um unfortunately I wasn't given too much information . I was given a brief executive summary , and then anupdate on some recent fashion trends that we might like to look at . And then I'll just tell you some personal preferences that I got from that . Um okay the mostimportant finding was that the fancy look-and-feel seems to be twice as important to the users as the current functional look-and-feel design , which I think we'vekind of already discussed before . Um the second most important finding was that the remote should be technologically innovative . And again these are all thingswe've kind of already come up with on our own , but this just backs it up . And thirdly the remote would be easy to use . As far as fashion update , we've learnedthat fruits and vegetables will be the most important theme for cloths , shoes and furniture .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: So that might be a bitof a challenge to incorporate this into our remote , but we can try . Um and also , as opposed to last year , this year the material is expected to be spongy in feel .{vocalsound} Okay so from that um , as we've already said , we need to focus on a fancy look-and-feel . Um I think we've already discovered that it's kind ofhard to go away from the traditional rectangular design . But I think that , even if it's very subtle , we need to kind of trick our consumers , so they at least getthe idea that they're getting something that's new and modern and sleek and {disfmarker} Whether it's through the shape or the colours or all of that . Um fortechnologically innovative , we've talked about the tracking device . We brought up the idea of having two pieces , which we could discuss further . And Manuelhad suggested um the energy source and the user interface , discussing some of those , um that we could change a little bit . We need to keep it simple , havelimited buttons , which I think the two piece idea might be really beneficial for . {vocalsound} Um {vocalsound} we need to incorporate this fashion trend of fruitsand vegetables . I don't know , I mean I guess the two options are if we had our remote in the shape of a fruit or vegetable .Project Manager: {vocalsound} Abanana shape ?User Interface: Oh it was sort of banana shaped . {gap}Marketing: {vocalsound} Yeah . Yeah . Right . Or with exterior designs . But my questionis , I mean the stereotypically speaking , you kind of picture males with their remote controls , and I'm not sure how they'd feel about having fruity logos on theoutside .Project Manager: {vocalsound}Marketing: So maybe we could have something that's somewhat removable , or I don't know , different options for female, male target groups . And then the spongy feel . I guess we could look at mobile phones and other technology that's out there . C and look at different types ofmaterial that {vocalsound} might please our users who want spongy-feeling remote controls . So that's that .Project Manager: So possibly like a uh ,IndustrialDesigner: Alright .Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: sorry , just to butt in for a second . Possibly uh like a cover like they have for mobile phones?Marketing: That's what I was thinking yeah .User Interface: Those like , yeah , sort of spongy ones .Project Manager: You have one with a flag , and one with abanana and one that's a spongyUser Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound} {vocalsound} Yeah . So when you buy your remote you can buyProjectManager: feel to it . {vocalsound} You can {disfmarker}Marketing: various coverings .Project Manager: Mm various covers .User Interface: What's it called ? Custyou {disfmarker} {vocalsound} personalised , yeah .Marketing: Personalise your remote . {vocalsound}Project Manager: We could leave that to the coverdepartment . {vocalsound}User Interface: Yeah . {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound} Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager:{vocalsound} {vocalsound} We all know they've got nothing to do all day .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer:{vocalsound}User Interface: Okay . Why can't I see the {disfmarker} crazy . Um yeah I {disfmarker} talking about the interface concept and how the customerrelates to , will use the , consumer will use the actual device . Um so I've looked at some of the stuff I was sent , um , try and get some inspiration . But keep inmind that our own ideas that we had . Um I was sent some information from the company saying that they , the technology department have devised a newspeech recognition technology , where you can program questions into such devices . They gave an example of a coffee machine where you program a question ,you program the answer , and the machine responds accordingly . Um okay . There's different ways of a user can use products l like a remote . Um there's agraphical use , where you you look at pictures and well on a screen . A command line where you obviously type things in , and you get a response . Um and thenit ju that's just to point out the sort of inconsistent u sort of use of interface in remotes . You can't really see that picture well , but there's various differentremotes , once again with lots of different buttons on , making it more complicated .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface: So , then I had a look atnew products that are on the market . Not necessarily remote controls but ones that you'll recognise . Um this is the voice , there is a voice recognition remotecontrol , which can control mus multiple devices . I have a {disfmarker} there is a picture {gap} . You surf your favourite channels uh with your voice . Store upto eighty speech samples , controls four devices , T_V_ , cable , satellite , V_C_R_ , D_V_D_ and audio . And you can record your own v verbal labels , that areconnected to remote control functions . So the technology is there . Um the one on the left is very similar to what we drew up on the board in the previousmeeting , where there {disfmarker} has scroll down functions on the side . You can sort of just make those out . And then on the right is obviously an iPod ,which is you know possibly one of the simplest things to use out there , and really is , and all that is is just a a nice big scroll menu that y you sort of go through .That is a {vocalsound} possibility . And nothing's simpler really . Um then there's things like this , which is a a a kid's remote , where the the parents have thefacility to control and program what children can watch before . So the remote control it o only allows them to access the channels that their parents want themto watch . And um it means that th children have a novelty of having their own remote control . So I don't know {gap} if there's a possibility of having oneremote contr you know like we just had two components , maybe it can have more components you know , different remotes . Um the point made at the endthere here is that you have to be sort of be {disfmarker} need to be clear on your um devices , as to what , you know , things you use . Sometimes an arrowpointing down , which may suggest volume down , could become confused just as a V_ for volume . Just little things like that , which would need to be made clearin the design . Um I think , d carrying on from what I've already said , a user friendly remote with minimum buttons . Maybe we've so suggested this two-partthing , where if it was to have a speech recognition thing , you could maybe control that on the {disfmarker} do it {disfmarker} or program all that on the controlbit . And then just have the simple sort of hand-held thing that we sort of devised earlier , as the actual remote . Um I don't {disfmarker} it could be a graphicaldisplay , the actual remote contr the actual control port maybe could have like an iPod where you just sort of control through the menus .

You have received the sameemail , right ?Industrial Designer: Yeah .User Interface: Yeah .Marketing: I think it's for your guys to {vocalsound} how to design it all the aspects so you needthat information .User Interface: Yeah .Industrial Designer: Yeah , I think so .User Interface: Yeah , so each of us has a role to do .Marketing: YeahProjectManager: SMarketing: {vocalsound} I think {gap} assign your uh roles .User Interface: In each {disfmarker}Project Manager: For each for each one .UserInterface: We already have our role .Marketing: For each person , yeah .User Interface: {vocalsound} 'Kay , we can {disfmarker}Project Manager: So there are{disfmarker} so we have three {disfmarker}User Interface: So there are three kinds of designs , that's all .Project Manager: f yeah . We have functional design ,conceptual design , and detail design .User Interface: Okay , alright . {vocalsound}Project Manager: So , who will be the the responsible for the functional design? Any any volunteer ?Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} I think our uh responsibilities will be assigned when we {disfmarker} in our mail we received from theaccount manager .User Interface: {vocalsound} Yeah , yeah .Industrial Designer: UhUser Interface: I'm doing the interface .Project Manager: You are doingthIndustrial Designer: No , I'm doing the interface . {vocalsound}Project Manager: {gap} .User Interface: Are you using the {disfmarker} you are doing the in{disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Yeah I I'm I'm {disfmarker} Well , maybe we have {disfmarker} okay so I {gap} industrial design .

This will be something different from the otherremotes {disfmarker} remote controls .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: What we we have to keep in mind the {disfmarker} thesecharacteristics .Industrial Designer: Yeah , I dunno I {disfmarker}Project Manager: And of course it should not be very costly .Marketing: Yeah , that's right.Project Manager: So {disfmarker} {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Yeah .User Interface: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Well I Ithink that Norman and I would think about um the technical points and um we should discuss it in the next meeting , orUser Interface: Need to collect information. {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Yeah . {vocalsound}Project Manager: About the {disfmarker} about what ?User Interface: Um . {vocalsound} I I'm part ofdesign , perhaps . Uh , what is most important in a {disfmarker} in a remote control ? What is the most important function aspect ? Uh .Project Manager: Youmean the external {gap} or {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Well , you have to make it work .Project Manager: {vocalsound} Yeah of g of course .UserInterface: {vocalsound} That's alright .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} That's the {vocalsound} that's the big thing .Project Manager: {vocalsound}UserInterface: Yeah , it should be easy to work with .Project Manager: Yeah {gap} .Industrial Designer: Yeah .User Interface: Yeah .Industrial Designer: We can thinkabout an interface with uh well {disfmarker}User Interface: Uh . We {disfmarker} maybe you can have a speech uh recognition interface . You just tell thetelevision I want {disfmarker} which channel .Project Manager: You won't {disfmarker}User Interface: Or or you can say for example , um {disfmarker}{vocalsound} I want uh to list all the programme tonight . Y you know {gap} , instead of {gap} uh remote control it's doing the {disfmarker} some searching foryou , so you don't have to look for the channel you want . Just say maybe I just want to press {disfmarker} I wanna have a button for all the movies tonight . Ora button for all the magazines , all the information {disfmarker} documentary tonight . And then you list a few , and I will choose from the list . So instead ofpressing the channel number , I am choosing the programmes directly . Yeah , that's one way of uh making it useful .Industrial Designer: Yeah , yeah .ProjectManager: I I think if we include a lot of technology on the remote control it will be very costly .User Interface: No , because {disfmarker} no ,Project Manager: S{vocalsound}User Interface: it's not very {disfmarker} a lot . Th this information exists . For example you can get um {vocalsound} {disfmarker}ProjectManager: Like s uh you you you say we can use speech .User Interface: You can use uh {disfmarker} well for example {disfmarker} anything . {vocalsound} The{vocalsound} the idea of using speech to reduce the button , but uh and it's more natural . Yeah .Industrial Designer: I {disfmarker} I think if you want t tochoose uh from a list of programme or or something like that you you may have to to use uh w uh I dunnoMarketing: I'm a {disfmarker} okay .User Interface:Yeah . Yeah .Marketing: I mean the main uh function of remote control is to have something in the handProject Manager: In the hand .Marketing: and we shouldbe very careful about the size of the remote control .Project Manager: Yeah .User Interface: Yeah .Industrial Designer: Yeah .Marketing: If we are going to add aspeech interface , I'm not sure with {gap} trendy slim size of the remote control it would be able to put a speech recogUser Interface: Yeah . Yes , possible.Marketing: if you want to put a speech recognition system f interface for that I think the T_V_ itself could have it .User Interface: Yeah . But{disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Yeah .Marketing: And I could talk to the T_V_ {disfmarker} television itself .Project Manager: Except if if you are far from theT_V_ .Marketing: I need not have an {disfmarker}User Interface: Yeah . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: I mean we have some {gap}or something , different technology but {disfmarker}Project Manager: This is {vocalsound} it's {disfmarker}User Interface: Yeah , yeah . But th the main idea Iwanted to s I wanted to say is that um {vocalsound} there should be a function , instead of choosing the ch T_V_ channel , there's a option you can choose ,either T_V_ channels or or pr or the or the contain or the contents of the programme .Industrial Designer: On the content .Marketing: Mm-hmm , yeah .IndustrialDesigner: Yeah , yeah it's it's a good idea it's a good ideaProject Manager: Mm-hmm .User Interface: So it's more powerful . Yeah .Industrial Designer: but I Ithink that technically it would be um a little bit uh uh more tricky to to achieve this than just to {disfmarker}User Interface: No . No , because you see now all theT_V_ programmes are available on the webs . They they are {disfmarker} they are {disfmarker} they are available in X_M_L_ format or whatever the format .We don't care . We just say that this are some content . We just want to retrieve the content and then classi sort them by the types of programmes . Some of thewebsites they already provide this service ,Industrial Designer: Yeah yeah .User Interface: so we can just use the service available . Download it uh to the{disfmarker} to this remote control .Project Manager: Mm .User Interface: And then there's {disfmarker} there are only six buttons for six categories , or sevseven . The most there are only seven buttons . So I just choose the category one and you reuse the same button , for example to to choose among the the"}

That 's good .Grad E: But , uh , yeah maybean agenda , or at least some things to talk about would be a good idea .Professor C: Well we can start gathering those {disfmarker} those ideas , but then we{disfmarker} we should firm it up by next {disfmarker} next Thursday 's meeting .Postdoc A: Will we have time to , um , to prepare something that we{disfmarker} in the format we were planning for the IBM transcribers by then , or {disfmarker} ?Grad E: Oh yeah . Absolutely .Postdoc A: OK .Grad E: So haveyou heard back from Brian about that , Chuck ?PhD B: Yes , um , he 's {disfmarker} I {disfmarker} I 'm sorry , I should have forwarded that along . Uh ,{vocalsound} oh I {disfmarker} I think I mentioned at the last meeting , he said that , um , he talked to them and it was fine {disfmarker} with the beeps theywould be {disfmarker} That 's easy for them to do .Grad E: Great . OK . So , uh , oh , though Thi - Thilo isn't here , um , but , uh , I {disfmarker} I have theprogram to insert the beeps . What I don't have is something to parse the output of the channelized transcripts to find out where to put the beeps , but thatshould be really easy to do . So do we have a meeting that that 's been done with ,Postdoc A: He 's {disfmarker} he 's {disfmarker}Grad E: that we 've tightenedit up to the point where we can actually give it to IBM and have them try it out ?Postdoc A: He generated , um , a channel - wise presegmented version of ameeting , but it was Robustness rather than EDU so I guess depends on whether we 're willing to use Robustness ?PhD B: Well for this experiment I think we canuse pre pretty much anything .Grad E: Mm - hmm .Postdoc A: OK .PhD B: This experiment of just {disfmarker}Grad E: Well we had {disfmarker} we had talkedabout doing maybe EDU as a good choice , though . Well , {vocalsound} whatever we have .PhD B: Well we 've talked about that as being the next ones wewanted to transcribe .Grad E: Right .Postdoc A: OK .PhD B: But for the purpose of sending him a sample one to {disfmarker} fGrad E: Yeah , maybe it doesn'tmatter .Postdoc A: Great .PhD B: I {disfmarker} I don't think it mattePostdoc A: I 'll {disfmarker} I 'll {disfmarker} I 'll , um , get {disfmarker} make thatavailable .Grad E: OK , and has it been corrected ?Postdoc A: Oh , well , wait . Um {disfmarker}Grad E: Hand - checked ? Cuz that was one of the {vocalsound}processes we were talking about as well .PhD B: Right , so we need to run Thilo 's thing on it ,Postdoc A: That 's right .PhD B: and then we go in and adjust theboundaries .Postdoc A: Yeah that 's right . Yeah , we haven't done that . I {disfmarker} I could set someone on that tomorrow .PhD B: Right .Grad E: And timehow long it takes .PhD B: OK .Postdoc A: I think they 're coming {disfmarker}PhD B: And we probably don't have to do necessarily a whole meeting for that if wejust wanna send them a sample to try .Postdoc A: OK . What would be a good number of minutes ?PhD B: I don't know , maybe we can figure out how long it 'lltake @ @ to {disfmarker} to do .Grad E: Um , I don't know , it seems to me w we probably should go ahead and do a whole meeting because we 'll have totranscribe the whole meeting anyway sometime .Professor C: Yes except that if they had {disfmarker} if there was a choice between having fifteen minutes thatwas fully the way you wanted it , and having a whole meeting that didn't get at what you wanted for them {disfmarker} It 's just dependent of how much{disfmarker}Grad E: Like I {disfmarker} I mean I guess if we have to do it again anyway , but , uhProfessor C: Yeah .PhD B: I guess , the only thing I 'm notsure about is , um , how quickly can the transcribers scan over and fix the boundaries ,Postdoc A: Mm - hmm .PhD B: and {disfmarker} I mean , is it pretty easy?Grad E: I think it 's gonna be one or two times real time at {disfmarker} Wow , excuse me , two or more times real time , right ? Cuz they have to at least listento it .Professor C: Can we pipeline it so that say there 's , uh , the transcriber gets done with a quarter of the meeting and then we {disfmarker} you run itthrough this other {disfmarker} other stuff ? Uh ,Grad E: Well the other stuff is I B I 'm just thinking that from a data {disfmarker} keeping - track - of - the -data point of view , it may be best to send them whole meetings at a time and not try to send them bits and pieces .Professor C: OK , so . Oh , that 's right . Sothe first thing is the automatic thing , and then it 's {disfmarker} then it 's {disfmarker} then it 's the transcribers tightening stuff up ,Grad E: Right .Postdoc A:Mm - hmm .Professor C: and then it 's IBM .Postdoc A: Mm - hmm , mm - hmm .Grad E: Right .Professor C: OK , so you might as well ha run the automatic thingover the entire meeting , and then {disfmarker} and then , uh , you would give IBM whatever was fixed .Postdoc A: And have them fix it over the entire meetingtoo ?Grad E: Right .Professor C: Well , yeah , but start from the beginning and go to the end , right ? So if they were only half way through then that 's what you'd give IBM .Postdoc A: OK .Professor C: Right ?PhD B: As of what point ? I mean . The {disfmarker} I guess the question on my mind is do we wait for thetranscribers to adjust the marks for the whole meeting before we give anything to IBM , or do we go ahead and send them a sample ? Let their{disfmarker}Professor C: Why wouldn't we s @ @ w i if they were going sequentially through it , why wouldn't we give them {disfmarker} I mean i are we tryingto get something done by the time Brian comes ?PhD B: Well I {disfmarker} I {disfmarker} I mean , I don't know .Grad E: That was the question . Though.Professor C: So if we {disfmarker} if we were , then it seems like giving them something , whatever they had gotten up to , would be better than nothing .PhDB: Yeah . Uh . That {disfmarker} I agree . I agree .Grad E: Well , I don't think {disfmarker} I mean , h they {disfmarker} they typically work for what , four"}

So uh , he 's not here ,PhD D: So .Professor C: so you get to {disfmarker}PhD D: Yeah , I will try to explain the thing that I did this{disfmarker} this week {disfmarker} during this week .Professor C: Yeah .PhD D: Well eh you know that I work {disfmarker} I begin to work with a new featureto detect voice - unvoice .PhD E: Mm - hmm .PhD D: What I trying two MLP to {disfmarker} to the {disfmarker} with this new feature and the fifteen feature uhfrom the eh bus base systemPhD E: The {disfmarker} the mel cepstrum ?PhD D: No , satly the mes the Mel Cepstrum , the new base system {disfmarker} thenew base system .PhD E: Oh the {disfmarker}PhD D: Yeah , we {disfmarker}PhD E: OK , the Aurora system .PhD D: yeah the Aurora system with the new filter ,VAD or something like that .PhD E: OK .PhD D: And I 'm trying two MLP , one one that only have t three output , voice , unvoice , and silence ,Professor C: Mm -hmm .PhD D: and other one that have fifty - six output . The probabilities of the allophone . And I tried to do some experiment of recognition with that and onlyhave result with {disfmarker} with the MLP with the three output . And I put together the fifteen features and the three MLP output . And , well , the result are li alittle bit better , but more or less similar .Professor C: Uh , I {disfmarker} I 'm {disfmarker} I 'm slightly confused .PhD E: Hmm .Professor C: What {disfmarker}what feeds the uh {disfmarker} the three - output net ?PhD D: Voice , unvoice , and siProfessor C: No no , what feeds it ? What features does it see ?PhD D: Thefeature {disfmarker} the input ? The inputs are the fifteen {disfmarker} the fifteen uh bases feature .Professor C: Uh - huh .PhD D: the {disfmarker} with thenew code . And the other three features are R , the variance of the difference between the two spectrum ,Professor C: Uh - huh .PhD D: the variance of the auto -correlation function , except the {disfmarker} the first point , because half the height value is R - zeroProfessor C: Mm - hmm . Mm - hmm . Mm - hmm . Mm -hmm .PhD D: and also R - zero , the first coefficient of the auto - correlation function . That is like the energy with these three feature ,Professor C: Right .PhD D:also these three feature .Professor C: You wouldn't do like R - one over R - zero or something like that ? I mean usually for voiced - unvoiced you 'd do{disfmarker} yeah , you 'd do something {disfmarker} you 'd do energyPhD D: Yeah .Professor C: but then you have something like spectral slope , which is youget like R - one ov over R - zero or something like that .PhD D: Uh yeah .PhD E: What are the R 's ?Professor C: R correlations .PhD E: I 'm sorry I missed it .PhDD: No , R c No .PhD E: Oh .PhD D: Auto - correlation ? Yes , yes , the variance of the auto - correlation function that uses thatProfessor C: Ye - Well that 's thevariance , but if you just say \" what is {disfmarker} \" I mean , to first order , um yeah one of the differences between voiced , unvoiced and silence is energy .Another one is {disfmarker} but the other one is the spectral shape .PhD D: Yeah , I I 'll {disfmarker} The spectral shape ,Professor C: Yeah , and so R - one overR - zero is what you typically use for that .PhD D: yeah . No , I don't use that {disfmarker} I can't use {disfmarker}Professor C: No , I 'm saying that 's whatpeople us typically use .PhD D: Mmm .Professor C: See , because it {disfmarker} because this is {disfmarker} this is just like a single number to tell you um \"does the spectrum look like that or does it look like that \" .PhD D: Mm - hmm .Grad A: Oh . R {disfmarker} R {disfmarker} R - zero .Professor C: Right ?PhD D:Mm - hmm .Professor C: So if it 's {disfmarker} if it 's um {disfmarker} if it 's low energy uh but the {disfmarker} but the spectrum looks like that or like that , it's probably silence .PhD D: Mm - hmm .Professor C: Uh but if it 's low energy and the spectrum looks like that , it 's probably unvoiced .PhD D: Yeah .Professor C:So if you just {disfmarker} if you just had to pick two features to determine voiced - unvoiced , you 'd pick something about the spectrum like uh R - one over R -zero , um and R - zeroPhD D: Mm - hmm , OK .Professor C: or i i you know you 'd have some other energy measure and like in the old days people did like uhzero crossing counts .PhD D: Yeah , yeah .Professor C: Right . S SPhD D: Well , I can also th use this .Professor C: Yeah . Um ,PhD D: Bec - because the resultare a little bit better but we have in a point that everything is more or less the similar {disfmarker} more or less similar .Professor C: Yeah . But umPhD D: It 'snot quite better .Professor C: Right , but it seemed to me that what you were what you were getting at before was that there is something about the differencebetween the original signal or the original FFT and with the filter which is what {disfmarker} and the variance was one take uh on it .PhD D: Yeah , I used this too.Professor C: Right . But it {disfmarker} it could be something else . Suppose you didn't have anything like that . Then in that case , if you have two nets , Alright, and this one has three outputs , and this one has fPhD D: Mm - hmm .Professor C: whatever , fifty - six , or something ,PhD D: Mm - hmm .Professor C: if youwere to sum up the probabilities for the voiced and for the unvoiced and for the silence here , we 've found in the past you 'll do better at voiced - unvoiced -silence than you do with this one . So just having the three output thing doesn't {disfmarker} doesn't really buy you anything . The issue is what you feed it .PhDD: Yeah . Yeah , I have {disfmarker} yeah .Professor C: So uhPhD D: No {disfmarker}PhD E: So you 're saying take the features that go into the voiced -unvoiced - silence net and feed those into the other one , as additional inputs , rather than having a separate {disfmarker}Professor C: w W well that 's anotherway .PhD D: Yeah .Professor C: That wasn't what I was saying but yeah that 's certainly another thing to do . No I was just trying to say if you b if you bring thisinto the picture over this , what more does it buy you ?PhD E: Mmm .Professor C: And what I was saying is that the only thing I think that it buys you is um basedon whether you feed it something different . And something different in some fundamental way . And so the kind of thing that {disfmarker} that she was talkingabout before , was looking at something uh ab um {disfmarker} something uh about the difference between the {disfmarker} the uh um log FFT uh log power uhand the log magnitude uh F F - spectrum uh and the um uh filter bank .PhD D: Yeah .Professor C: And so the filter bank is chosen in fact to sort of integrate outthe effects of pitch and she 's saying you know trying {disfmarker} So the particular measure that she chose was the variance of this m of this difference , butthat might not be the right number .PhD D: Mm - hmm . Maybe .Professor C: Right ? I mean maybe there 's something about the variance that 's {disfmarker}that 's not enough or maybe there 's something else that {disfmarker} that one could use , but I think that , for me , the thing that {disfmarker} that struck mewas that uh you wanna get something back here , so here 's {disfmarker} here 's an idea . uh What about it you skip all the {disfmarker} all the really cleverthings , and just fed the log magnitude spectrum into this ?PhD D: Ah {disfmarker} I 'm sorry .Professor C: This is f You have the log magnitude spectrum , andyou were looking at that and the difference between the filter bank and {disfmarker} and c c computing the variance .PhD D: Yeah . Mm - hmm .Professor C:That 's a clever thing to do .PhD D: Mm - hmm .Professor C: What if you stopped being clever ? And you just took this thing in here because it 's a neural net andneural nets are wonderfulPhD D: Mm - hmm .Professor C: and figure out what they can {disfmarker} what they most need from things , and I mean that 's whatthey 're good at .PhD D: Yeah .Professor C: So I mean you 're {disfmarker} you 're {disfmarker} you 're trying to be clever and say what 's the statistic thatshould {disfmarker} we should get about this difference but uh in fact , you know maybe just feeding this in or {disfmarker} or feeding both of them inPhD E:Hmm .Professor C: you know , another way , saying let it figure out what 's the {disfmarker} what is the interaction , especially if you do this over multipleframes ?PhD D: Mm - hmm .Professor C: Then you have this over time , and {disfmarker} and both kinds of measures and uh you might get uh something better.PhD D: Mm - hmm .Professor C: Um .PhD E: So {disfmarker} so don't uh {disfmarker} don't do the division , but let the net have everything .Professor C: That's another thing you could do yeah . Yeah .PhD D: Yeah .Professor C: Um . I mean , it seems to me , if you have exactly the right thing then it 's better to do itwithout the net because otherwise you 're asking the net to learn this {disfmarker} you know , say if you wanted to learn how to do multiplication .PhD E: Mm -hmm .Professor C: I mean you could feed it a bunch of s you could feed two numbers that you wanted to multiply into a net and have a bunch of nonlinearities inthe middle and train it to get the product of the output and it would work . But , it 's kind of crazy , cuz we know how to multiply and you {disfmarker} you 'd beyou know much lower error usually {vocalsound} if you just multiplied it out . But suppose you don't really know what the right thing is . And that 's what thesesort of dumb machine learning methods are good at . So . Um . Anyway . It 's just a thought .PhD E: How long does it take , Carmen , to train up one of thesenets ?PhD D: Oh , not too much .PhD E: Yeah .PhD D: Mmm , one day or less .PhD E: Hmm .Professor C: Yeah , it 's probably worth it .Grad A: What are{disfmarker} what are your f uh frame error rates for {disfmarker} for this ?PhD D: Eh fifty - f six uh no , the frame error rate ?Grad A: OPhD D: Fifty - six I think.Professor C: Is that {disfmarker} maybe that 's accuracy ?PhD D: Percent .Grad A: Fif - fifty - six percent accurate for v voice - unvoicePhD D: The accuracy .Mm - hmm . No for , yes f I don't remember for voice - unvoice ,Grad A: Oh , OK .PhD D: maybe for the other one .Grad A: OK .Professor C: Yeah , voiced -unvoiced hopefully would be a lot better .PhD D: for voiced . I don't remeGrad A: Should be in nineties somewhere .PhD D: Better . Maybe for voice - unvoice.Grad A: Right .PhD D: This is for the other one . I should {disfmarker} I can't show that .Grad A: OK .PhD D: But I think that fifty - five was for the {disfmarker}when the output are the fifty - six phone .Grad A: Mm - hmm .PhD D: That I look in the {disfmarker} with the other {disfmarker} nnn the other MLP that wehave are more or less the same number . Silence will be better but more or less the same .Professor C: I think at the frame level for fifty - six that was the kind ofnumber we were getting for {disfmarker} for uh um reduced band width uh stuff .PhD D: I think that {disfmarker} I {disfmarker} I {disfmarker} I think that forthe other one , for the three output , is sixty sixty - two , sixty three more or less .Grad A: Mm - hmm .Professor C: That 's all ?PhD D: It 's {disfmarker} Yeah.Professor C: That 's pretty bad .PhD D: Yeah , because it 's noise also .Grad A: Oh yeah .Professor C: Aha !PhD D: And we haveProfessor C: Aha ! Yeah . Yeah .OK .PhD D: I know .Professor C: But even i in {disfmarker} Oh yeah , in training . Still , Uh . Well actually , so this is a test that you should do then . Um , if you"}
+{"doc_id":"doc_27","qid":"","text":"Project Manager: Okay . Hi Team . Hope you had a good lunch .Marketing: {gap}Project Manager: {vocalsound} Okay we're back for the conceptual designmeeting . Um let's get started . 'Kay , here is the agenda for today's meeting . Um we're gonna open it and I'm gonna keep the minutes as Project Manager .We're gonna have three presentations , one from each of you again . And then we are going to come to decision on the remote control concepts and then we'regonna close it up . And we have forty minutes again . 'Kay , and just to reiterate um after this meeting the team will reach a decision on the concepts of theremote control . Okay . Let's go ahead and start off with your presentations . Who would like to go first ?Industrial Designer: Just trying to move mine right now.Project Manager: Okay . Um Courtney would you mind starting us off ?Marketing: Yeah {gap} .Project Manager: Okay . Trend watching ? 'Kay .Marketing: Yeah .Okay , so trend watching . Uh since we do put the fashion in electronics , it is kind of important how our product looks . So I guess we can go ahead and go to thenext . So what they want . Right now customers want fancy versus functional . Um basically about fifty eight percent of what they {disfmarker} like of theproduct that they want , describing like the {disfmarker} in order of how much they want , fifty eight per cent of the decision of what it should look like , fancyversus functional , and then it has to also be technologically innovative , and yet easy to use . So the customer basically is confused . They don't know exactlywhat they want . They want us to tell them . {gap}Industrial Designer: They want everything , but simply .Marketing: Yes . Exactly .Industrial Designer:{vocalsound} Okay .Marketing: So we can go to next .Project Manager: Mm 'kay .Marketing: Okay . So in Milan and Paris recently the trends have been showingthat clothing , shoes and furniture are basically just covered with fruits and vegetable patterns .Project Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer:{vocalsound}Marketing: So I don't know if we want to go with that um and also the spongy feel is in in contrast to last year . I don't know really , I mean I guessthe spongy could relate to the buttons if we want toProject Manager: Mm . Mm .Marketing: rather than like a hard clicky button that you find on like some mobilesand stuff , you'd want like a softer touch . I mean do you guys know what I mean .Project Manager: Right . Yes .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} YeahthMarketing: Yeah . Um . But as for the fruits and vegetable patterns , I don't know if we really want to go with that , because it is just a trend ,Project Manager:Right .Marketing: and our product we want to stay around for much longer than just a few months ,Project Manager: Right . People don't buy a new remote everyso often .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} I I can {disfmarker}Marketing: because {disfmarker} Yeah . I mean that could just be a Spring thing right now.Industrial Designer: I can address some of that issue , I think , with uh my presentation .Marketing: Okay . Awesome .Project Manager: Okay .Marketing: Um sodesign preferences , um we need easy to read like large buttons , clearly labelled so that , I mean 'cause we talked about that being a problem . Um and then alsobuttons illuminating upon touch , you said that in your design , with the bulb . Um and that could also tie in with the colour scheme . Uh we need the RealReaction logo and colour scheme obviously . That's one of our key goals , we wanna promote our product .User Interface: {gap}Marketing: And I was thinkingabout different types of designs and I came up with something . Actually right here . So what we could do is something like an old-fashioned telephone like this ,where we put the buttons around , like we'd put a big on-off button or something else in the middle , I mean it could be the arrows or whatever for channel upand down , and then put the numbers around in like an old-fashioned dial shape . 'Cause then it'll appeal to older generation and like said retro's cool . So it'sclassically retro .Project Manager: Hmm .Marketing: So I mean that's just an idea if you guys like it .Project Manager: Very good . I like it . {vocalsound} Okay ,ready for the next slide ?Marketing: {vocalsound} And , yep . And that's it . {vocalsound}Project Manager: Op mm 'kay .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Okay.Project Manager: Great . Great presentation . Ready ?User Interface: Okay hang on .Project Manager: 'Kay .User Interface: See if it's there .{vocalsound}Project Manager: Which one is it ?User Interface: {vocalsound} I don't know . Hang on .Project Manager: {gap}User Interface: Interface concepts ,no ?Project Manager: Interface concepts new .User Interface: Either refresh it , or it sh {disfmarker}Project Manager: YUser Interface: Oh wait , maybe I didn'tput it there . Hang on .Project Manager: 'Kay .Industrial Designer: Mine will always read copy of something or other .Project Manager: Sorry ?Industrial Designer:{vocalsound} I I copied mine before I sent it over .Project Manager: Oh okay .User Interface: Sorry , hang on . Don't know {gap} .Project Manager: Oh there wego .User Interface: Okay .Project Manager: {gap}User Interface: Okay , um {vocalsound} looking at the interface concept , it's gonna be mostly examples ofpossibilities of where we can go with this . Uh if you wanna start the next slide .Project Manager: Sure .User Interface: Um uh can't really see , but there's twopossible ways , on the r left , if you see on th on the sides of of the remote , you have the sort of scroll down , so you have that option right there . And then alsothere's the idea of the base . That's sort of like an idea there . And then on the right , we have what's really big trend right now , it's the iPod . It's becomingreally {gap} and so you have this sort of very very simplistic menu section uh with the round buttons , and it's sort of like you have the both {gap} kind of trendyand hip , but also very sleek and um and very simple , but technologically advanced . So if you wanted to do that th if we could find a way of sort of like{vocalsound} using that idea in a remote control then sort of look into it , but {disfmarker} Anyway , next .Project Manager: Mm 'kay .User Interface: Um there'sthe idea of like being able to do it by feel as well as by um by sight . You'd you know you're in the dark , you don't wanna be looking at the remote control . Andthe picture particularly is pointing out if you look at the top volume button it's a V_ , and so yo you're kind of feeling a V_ like volume up . What it really is is a V_and what it you think it is is down , because the down arrow .Project Manager: Mm .User Interface: And so it's like a sort of a criticism you'd probably turn that othe other way up . Um but then you have {disfmarker} you could either do it by raised type , which could be you know , iffy , um sort of old-fashioned in a way.Project Manager: Mm .User Interface: Either that or just have it by shape , for example you have a specific triangular shape that you know you're looking at theup and down arrow . And then the round ones you sort of feel by , you know , that's the second one down , that sort of thing . So it's sort of looking into how wewanted t to do it by feel .Project Manager: Okay .User Interface: Okay . Um this is sort of an example of going for a s certain demographic . Um this is particularlygeared towards children .Marketing: That's cute .Project Manager: {gap}User Interface: Um it's very cute , and we could probably change it to yellow , brightyellow for like a the for the company logo . Um and you have the shapes and it's very simplistic and friendly looking . Um and then the other thing that it wouldbe able to do is just to pro be ab you program certain {disfmarker} {vocalsound} channels that only these children would watch , so it's like they ch watch , youknow , the C_ Beebies or something like that ,Project Manager: {vocalsound}User Interface: uh keep them away from other channels . So that's like another arUm ,Project Manager: Okay .User Interface: I mean , these are three examples sort of looking at it . You have the wider section for the main controls there . Uhyou could see how many buttons there are . And then on the left you have an example of the round buttons , and a simpler design . On the bottom we probablywouldn't need that , because it's more for like a D_V_D_ {vocalsound} function which we are not gonna be using . Um . So again it's sort of like just give youideas and then down at the bottom you have the logos and that's where you could put the R_R_ , Real Reaction .Project Manager: 'Kay .User Interface: And thenfinally these are like the sort of same examples , but also some more , just possibilities that we could go with . None of them I'm particularly keen on by the way .{vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Hmm .Marketing: Yeah .Project Manager: No .User Interface: {vocalsound} {vocalsound} But it's sort of like just takingaspects out of that and saying , well out of this one we like , you know the round section of um , b or we'd like the the button size on this .Project Manager: Mm .Or I like , you know , the black finish or the silver finish or whatever .Marketing: {vocalsound}User Interface: Right .Marketing: I have four of those remotes.Project Manager: {vocalsound} Good lord .User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound} Okay . Ready ? Oh , yeah .Okay .User Interface: That's it .Project Manager: Great job .Industrial Designer: Okay , my turn .Project Manager: Okay .Marketing: {vocalsound} Okay.Industrial Designer: Whoo .Project Manager: What's the title ?Industrial Designer: It'll be copy of component design .Project Manager: Got it .IndustrialDesigner: Yeah . Th that looks like it . 'Kay . So basic remote operation runs as follows , press button makes connection with the power source and the rest of thecircuit , chip senses the connection , chip produces a morse code infra-red signal , specific to that button . So you press the button , it produces uh a signal that'sencoded specifically for that button . Transistors amplify that signal and it goes to the T_V_'s centre , which interprets the signal response accordingly , changeschannel etcetera . So that being said {disfmarker} Next slide , please . Findings oh which were the required materials for the basic internal construction , so allthe really simplistic functions that we just discussed , we need rubber for buttons , aluminium for battery y contacts , integrated circuit which consists of a diode ,transistor , resonator , resistors , and a capacitator , all those basic things that make a circuit function . Um fibreglass and thin copper wire to create the actualcircuit board itself . An L_E_D_ , which is a light emitting diode , um contact discs for the buttons , plastic for the casing , and a power-source , whateverpower-source we've actually determined we want . Next slide , please . Thank you . Uh personal preferences , uh to save money for the components , the remoteshould be mass-produced and basic materials should be bought en masse . Um if we find another company who can produce the required chips , casing , L_E_D_, any additional materials we decide we require at a less expensive rate than we ourselves are producing , we should go for it . {vocalsound} Next slide , please .Um just talking to the um manufacturing division . They suggested power options , solar cells , hand dynamo , and kinetic power , so you shake it and it increases"}

Everybody's ready ?User Interface: Yeah .Marketing: Great . Thanks .Project Manager: Great . Well , welcome to the kick-offmeeting . I uh forgot to put my name over here , it's uh {vocalsound} it's Martin . Uh , so you all know .Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Well , this isthe agenda for today . Well , the opening is what I'm doing right now .User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Uh , we gonna do some acquaintanceacquaintance things . Uh give some um examples of the tool training , project plan discussion and the closing . We have twenty five minutes . Okay , the projectaim is to design a new remote control .Marketing: Mm-hmm .Project Manager: Uh , some of the {vocalsound} oje objectives are that is has to be original , trendy, and user-friendly . So now we all know what ourUser Interface: Okay .Project Manager: goal is . Um , I {disfmarker} oh forget {disfmarker} I forget the wholeacquaintance part , but we we all know each other . We all know each other's names . Joost , Guido , Antek .User Interface: What is your name ?Marketing: Yes.Industrial Designer: Yes . Antek .User Interface: Antek Ahmet . And Joost . {gap}Project Manager: Okay . I think we uh al already uh been through that part.User Interface: Okay . Yeah .Project Manager: Okay , it consists of uh three levels of design . Uh we begin with the functional design , then we go to theconceptual design and the detailed design . Every uh level of design consists of some individual work , and we uh close it with a meeting . You all received anemail with a example of our explanation of what uh the particular level of design uh means to the different uh functions , and uh you p you probably read thatalready , so I don't have to tell you about that .User Interface: Yes .Marketing: Yes .Project Manager: Okay , first we're gonna um uh gonna try some differentthings with the tools we have over here , so you get acquainted with these uh um uh meeting tools . We have the smart-boards , uh the thes those two boards .This is the presentation boards , wh which one I'm using right now . You can uh um {disfmarker} there's a document folder called um the sh {vocalsound} shareddocument folder . You can upload your uh documents to that folder and then you can open them over here , so you can do your PowerPoint presentations on thisscreen . We also have the white-board . Uh , we're gonna skip through thUser Interface: Can we see the white-board on our laptops ?Project Manager: No , no .Just on the on the screen over there .User Interface: No , I saw I saw the file , the smart-board that X_B_K_ but {disfmarker}Project Manager: Oh , no . Probablyis , but I don't know if the software is on the laptop {gap} . Is is {disfmarker} if it's mainly a thing for in the meeting , so I don't think it's {disfmarker} I don'tknow if it's important .User Interface: Okay .Project Manager: This an explanation of the smart-boards . There is a tool-bar over here . It's quite simple . Youhave the the pen function , eraser function . It's like a very simple uh paint application . Uh , we {disfmarker} well , we use the same file during uh the whole day, and uh you can make new sheets by uh by pu puttin pressing on the blank button . It works like this . Oh . {vocalsound} If pen is selected , yes .User Interface:{vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Oh , no no .User Interface: With that pen ?Project Manager: It's not {disfmarker} But it is pen . It's notworking like a pen yet .User Interface: Mm .Project Manager: Huh . Huh .User Interface: Mm .Project Manager: It's doing some stuff now . So you can use a pen.User Interface: Little bit slower .Project Manager: You can use an eraser . And you can make new uh fi uh new blanks , and you can change uh the line width andthe colour of the pen by pressing on forward , which y you have to select pen format . And then select current colour or line width . So , it's quite easy . Uh well ,now you're all uh acquainted with the different tools . Right , we're gonna try out the electronic white-boards . Uh , every participant should draw his favouriteanimal and some of its favourite characteristics ,User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: on blank sheets with differentcolours , with different pen widths . Uh , I'll start off then . {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: I'll use this uh same sheet . Alright . Oh , letme think . Different colours . Oh .Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Well , I'm gonna draw um a p piranha . Uh , a fish .User Interface: {vocalsound}piranha . Okay .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Uh . {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound} {vocalsound}ProjectManager: Mm-hmm . I'm gonna use some different colour {gap} now .User Interface: Oh .Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Some {disfmarker} a littlewhite . Looks like a fish . Think it is . Oh .User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Oh . {vocalsound} Uh , colour . This is black ? I think so .User Interface:Yellow {gap} {disfmarker}Project Manager: Oh . Oh , this is just uh {vocalsound} useless uh drawings but {disfmarker}Marketing: {vocalsound}ProjectManager: Oh teeth . I need teeth . {vocalsound} Well , they're not supposed to be green , or whatever colour this is .Marketing: {vocalsound}User Interface:Hmm .Project Manager: Okay . What was uh {disfmarker} I have su to sum up its favourite characterisUser Interface: Different .Project Manager: Well , I like itsuh sharp {disfmarker} razor sharp teeth . {vocalsound} Plus , uh the the big uh forehead and uh a small uh , well a small actual face . And I like its overall uhaggressive look and {disfmarker} Well , that's what I like about uh piranha . I think that's kind of what uh the intention should be .User Interface: Okay .ProjectManager: Well , who wants to be next ?Marketing: Nobody , I guess . {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound} I will try . Yeah . I will try . Uh{disfmarker}Project Manager: You go , Guido ? Okay . Uh , make a new sheet . Uh , it's by pressing on blank .User Interface: Blank ?Project Manager: Yep .UserInterface: Okay . Then pen again ?Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Yep .User Interface: Okay .Project Manager: And uh {disfmarker} so in the formatmenu you can choose the different uh colours and uh pen widths .User Interface: Okay , um {disfmarker}Marketing: Format .User Interface: {gap} control . Uh{disfmarker} Ah , purple .

A red one .Marketing: {vocalsound}User Interface: A small one . Uh , line width . Two ? Three . Ohthat's okay . That's another one .Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound} Well , tell us something about uh your favourite characteristics of theseuh particular birds .User Interface: {vocalsound} Ano {vocalsound} Uh {vocalsound} uh {vocalsound} it's a {disfmarker} {vocalsound}Marketing: Its simplicity .{vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound}User Interface: Yeah , it's uh the most simple uh animal I know , I think .Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager:{vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound} Um , I don't know .

I don't know .Project Manager: Okay . No , uh it'sclear .User Interface: So {gap} more uh birds ?Project Manager: N no {vocalsound} no .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}ProjectManager: We get your point . Okay .

It's a very complex animal{vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface: No .Marketing: and um {disfmarker} yeah . Characteristics of thisthis animal is {vocalsound} dangerous . {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Mm I think you'resupposed to , yeah .Industrial Designer: Is the white {disfmarker} okay .Project Manager: Hmm .Industrial Designer: I guess you can {disfmarker} {vocalsound}{gap} . {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound}User Interface: Wow . That's cobra .Marketing: Ah , a kind of uh snake ? Cobra ?Industrial Designer: Yeahuh not really .Marketing: Exactly {vocalsound} . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Small cobra . {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound}UserInterface: No , it just {disfmarker} small cobra , yeah .Project Manager: {vocalsound} Is that a worm ? Or {vocalsound} {disfmarker} {vocalsound}Marketing:Uh-huh . {vocalsound}User Interface: It's co c quite recognisable . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound}Marketing:{vocalsound} What about you uh {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound} Uh yeah Christa Pavlov {vocalsound} Mm .Marketing: Christa ? {vocalsound}UserInterface: Christa {vocalsound} Christa .Industrial Designer: Chris . {vocalsound}Marketing: A fish . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Mm .User Interface: Hmm.Project Manager: Smiling fish {vocalsound} .Industrial Designer: Smile fish . {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound} Okay .Marketing: A smiling fish .{vocalsound} Mm-hmm .Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Marketing: So , w whiteboard is working ? {vocalsound}Project Manager: Yeah . {vocalsound}UserInterface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Yeah . {vocalsound}Marketing: Good . {vocalsound} Next . {vocalsound}Project Manager: Next . Let's talk aboutmoney .User Interface: Just tr try to guess who is a User Interface Designer .Marketing: {vocalsound} Yeah , well . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer:{vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound} According to the drawings .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Yeah , you're{disfmarker}Project Manager: {vocalsound}Marketing: Not me . {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound} Okay .Project Manager: {vocalsound} So.Marketing: So . Twenty five Euro for a remote control .Project Manager: Yeah , mm that's the price we want to {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Hmm .ProjectManager: that's the aim for the price for the remote control .Marketing: Okay .Project Manager: We aim to do {vocalsound} this profit . {vocalsound}IndustrialDesigner: {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound} On the international market .Marketing: {vocalsound} 'tis big number .Project Manager: {vocalsound} Yeah. Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: Yeah , we're to sell two million then .Project Manager: {vocalsound}User Interface: Wow .Marketing: Mm-hmm .ProjectManager: Mm {vocalsound} for a production cost of mm twelve fifty Euros maximum . {vocalsound} 'Kay {vocalsound} . So any of you have experience inremote controls ? {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Mm yeah .Marketing: Uh yes , we have plenty at home .Project Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer:{vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound} In fact , my daughter likes l {vocalsound} {gap} {vocalsound} remote controls .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}ProjectManager: {vocalsound} That {disfmarker}User Interface: Mm . To eat ? {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: To eat ? Yeah , mainly , andto break . {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound} {vocalsound} So that could be a great um {vocalsound} application .Industrial Designer:{vocalsound}Project Manager: Remote controls children proof . Mm mm-hmm .Marketing: Mm-hmm . Yeah .User Interface: Children proof .Marketing:{vocalsound} Ye ye yeah .User Interface: Hmm .Marketing: So she likes uh buttons {vocalsound} which make click ,Project Manager: {vocalsound} Okay.Industrial Designer: Yeah , pretProject Manager: {vocalsound}Marketing: so {vocalsound} it has to click .Project Manager: So they have to be waterproof maybe?Marketing: It has to be uh wha {vocalsound} baby proof {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound} 'Cause they eat {disfmarker} she ate it .{vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: yeah {vocalsound} but mainly it has to be very robustProject Manager: Mm-hmm .Marketing: becauseeven if she's not very tall she's uh {vocalsound} high enough so that uh when she throw it away it's uh {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Yeah .Project Manager:{vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Ah .Marketing: So it has to be very robust .User Interface: Okay , unbreakable .Marketing: Unbreakable , yeah.User Interface: Uh-huh .Industrial Designer: Yeah , we have some child lock or something , yeah .Marketing: Mm-hmm .Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Marketing:And uh {vocalsound} it has to be nice looking ,Industrial Designer: Yeah .Marketing: colourful , maybe {disfmarker}Project Manager: Colourful , yeah mm .UserInterface: Colourful ? That's not practical .Marketing: colourful , because uh nobody has colourful remote controlIndustrial Designer: Yeah .Project Manager: No ,that's a good idea .Industrial Designer: Yeah , it's always black or {disfmarker} yeah .Marketing: , they're always black , yeah ,Project Manager: Mm mm-mm.User Interface: No .Marketing: but this one could be I dunno , purple or bProject Manager: Yeah . {vocalsound}User Interface: But how gonna {disfmarker}okay , just uh but it's uh monochrome it's n it's not like {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Yeah .Marketing: Yeah , yeah .Project Manager: No ,Industrial Designer:Yeah .Project Manager: because you think , why not .User Interface: Otherwise you will never find it .Marketing: One colour .Industrial Designer: Yeah.Marketing: Yeah , yeah .Industrial Designer: Yeah even we can change colours , no ? Like the uhMarketing: Oh like the phones ,Industrial Designer: like thephones and these things we c yeah .Marketing: yeah , it could change colours , yeah .User Interface: Cool .Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: Atleast for children like one colour and {gap} . {vocalsound}User Interface: ChMarketing: Yeah . {vocalsound}Project Manager: Good idea .Marketing: Good.Industrial Designer: And it should be really {gap} small and {gap} .Project Manager: Small also ? Don't you think {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Huh not sobig like {disfmarker} yeah .Project Manager: No uh , not too much buttons or {disfmarker} mm .Industrial Designer: Yeah , not too much buttons and{disfmarker}Marketing: {vocalsound} Should it be , y you know these uh remote controls where um they are what they call a universal ret remote controlProjectManager: Mm-hmm .Marketing: so y you can decide that now it's the remote control for the television , then it's the remote control for the the sound system , orfor your refrigeratorIndustrial Designer: Uh . Yeah .Project Manager: {vocalsound} {vocalsound} Yeah ,Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing:{vocalsound} whatever {vocalsound}Project Manager: that's {disfmarker}Marketing: I dunno if it's {disfmarker}Project Manager: {vocalsound}Marketing: Or ifwe should have a targeted re remote control .Project Manager: Okay .Marketing: {vocalsound} So colour , robustness , easy to use , size ,Project Manager: So , Ithink there's {disfmarker}Marketing: yeah , size matters , yeah . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Yeah . Colour , {vocalsound} size , shProject Manager: Soyou you think it's better if small than bigger .Industrial Designer: Yeah , maybe at least n not bigger than this I guess . {vocalsound}Marketing: Mm .UserInterface: Yeah , but without any extremes like n not of this size , not too large . Okay .Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: No , not too small , yeah.Industrial Designer: Yeah yeah , at least it should hold in your hand n properly , like {gap} .Marketing: Yeah .Project Manager: Hmm .User Interface: Yeah , likea palm sized .Industrial Designer: Yeah . {vocalsound}User Interface: Just to hold it .Marketing: Mm .Project Manager: Okay .Marketing: But uh what would bedifferent from this , from the others ? I dunno if {vocalsound} {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Uh maybe we can change the colours that {disfmarker} at leastthe frame . Mm . S so then it depends {disfmarker}Marketing: Yeah , at least the colour would be different .Industrial Designer: you are to {disfmarker}Project"}

OkayIndustrialDesigner: Oh .Project Manager: so it's just your your show .Industrial Designer: Um maybe we should bring {gap} so that the camera can see {gap} . Yeah.Project Manager: {vocalsound}User Interface: Okay . Sure .Industrial Designer: Okay .Project Manager: {vocalsound}User Interface: We made three for you.Project Manager: Three ? Oh .User Interface: Um one's based on the banana , one's based on the tomatoProject Manager: Tomato ? What tomato ?{vocalsound}User Interface: and the other one is stMarketing: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: I don't recall a tomato .{vocalsound}User Interface: Look . Oh yeah , well yeah , we had v some red left over .Project Manager: Ah I see , okay . {vocalsound}User Interface: So . Okay, so this is the um non to non uh no buttons one , or as mm few buttons as possible ,Project Manager: Mm-hmm .User Interface: mainly speak recognition . Theyellow there is the umProject Manager: Logo .User Interface: the slogan , yeah ,Project Manager: Okay , brilliant .User Interface: that we need to incorporate ,it's very simple . If you do need buttons , you can flip it over , and there's some there ,Project Manager: Okay .User Interface: um but mainly it's speechrecognition .Project Manager: Okay , so the buttons would be like , you know individual users , or {disfmarker}User Interface: Yeah .Project Manager: Yeah .UserInterface: Yeah and {vocalsound} yeah they might project things onto the screen which you can do on there .Project Manager: Alright , okay .User Interface: MmI'm not sure about that . Um and this one is the one w more like the one w that we looked at earlier .Project Manager: Right .User Interface: {vocalsound} Yeah ,you guys can have a look at that if you want .Project Manager: That's groovy . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {gap}Marketing: Yeah . {vocalsound} Uh can Ihave {gap}Project Manager: {vocalsound} Well I like the feel of it , I like the feel of it .User Interface: Yeah , sure . Um that one is {disfmarker}Marketing: Ohsorry s {vocalsound}User Interface: Oh no , it's delicate .Project Manager: At Oh dear .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}User Interface:That's that's already got its stand that one . That's it stand .Project Manager: Alright , okay .User Interface: It does also lie flat , but that's the that yellow standthere represents the the charging stand .Project Manager: Okay , brilliant mm .User Interface: Um the black on the back is the slogan .Project Manager: Okay ,nice and obvious there {vocalsound} ,User Interface: Uh yeah , that {gap} {disfmarker}Marketing: {vocalsound}User Interface: Well , we did think of that.Project Manager: if it's standing up , I guess , yeah .User Interface: Yeah , if it's standing up it's it's on there , but also we're gonna have the company name onthe front , which is the little black kind of line in the middle .Project Manager: Oh right , okay , brilliant . Like that from its centre .User Interface: So um andthat's the um transmit the L_E_D_ thing . These are the s two scroll ones which we thought could be channel up and down and volume up and down . We n wereweren't sure about putting them there , because um i it's it kind of could get bashed .Project Manager: Where you're , yeah , uh were you're holding it kind of{disfmarker}User Interface: Yeah . Well , if you hold it , you can {disfmarker} you all can hold it , is {disfmarker} it does actually feel quite ergonomic ,ProjectManager: Mm-hmm .User Interface: if you've got small hands .Project Manager: Yeah . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Mm .Marketing: {vocalsound}ProjectManager: Okay .User Interface: {vocalsound} Um , obviously I don't think that's real sized {gap} .Project Manager: Yeah , okay .User Interface: It would have tobe a bit bigger .Project Manager: Yeah , scale model , yeah .User Interface: Okay . Um that's a speaker at the top , so you can speak into it like a littlewalkie-talkie as well for speak recognition .Project Manager: Mm-hmm .User Interface: Um and {vocalsound} um then the buttons . Yeah kind of self-explanatory, just buttons whenever you need them . Tried to keep it simple . Oh that's the charging base prongs at the bottom .Project Manager: {vocalsound} Alright ,excellent .User Interface: {vocalsound} We used those {gap} . And um then the big red button in the middle is the on and off one .Project Manager: Okay .UserInterface: It's not in the traditional place ,Project Manager: No .User Interface: but um it's quite an obvious place .Project Manager: It's out of the way as well , Isuppose , so . Excellent .User Interface: So {vocalsound} there we go and and um we have the banana-based one too .Industrial Designer: Oh yeah , yeah.Project Manager: Yep . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: This one is uh , I suppose for the younger audiences .User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer:A a more friendly type of {disfmarker}Project Manager: Okay , {vocalsound} so so Barney the banana {gap} .Industrial Designer: Right , right . It's to uh inducemore television watching I suppose or {disfmarker}Project Manager: Ah excellent , just what we need .Industrial Designer: Yeah .User Interface: Yeah .IndustrialDesigner: Say it for the camera .Project Manager: {vocalsound} Lo Sort of Loch Ness banana . {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: Mm-hmm.User Interface: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: Right , right .Project Manager: Cool {gap} yeah . Well , nice to have uh options at least .Industrial Designer: Yep. {vocalsound}User Interface: Yeah .Project Manager: 'Kay and {disfmarker}User Interface: {vocalsound} So are there any um improvements or issues or{disfmarker} {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: It won't stand .Project Manager: Oh there are issues , oh there are issues .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Justlet it lie down , it wont stand . {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Um main problem that we have unfortunately being finance .IndustrialDesigner: {vocalsound}User Interface: Oh .Project Manager: Uh , let's just enter in the um evaluation criteria .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}ProjectManager: Um {vocalsound} unfortunately the unit we are currently going to produce minus the extra scroll buttons , uh it's gonna cost us fourteen point six Euros.Marketing: Mm .User Interface: Oh .Project Manager: So we have toIndustrial Designer: What's on the uh on the left ? {gap}Project Manager: rea Sorry , I'veaccidentally highlighted somehow {disfmarker} Um . {vocalsound} There we go .Industrial Designer: Okay .Project Manager: Oh god , why is it doing that ?UserInterface: Ooh .Project Manager: There we go . {vocalsound} So basically , um in order to save our two Euros um I was thinking that we could have essentiallythe same shape , but just have it flattened .User Interface: Mm-hmm .Project Manager: Um .User Interface: More like a traditional remote control .ProjectManager: Yeah , I mean it's already got a kind of cool shape , so but it wouldn't have to be curved sort of in and out .User Interface: Mm-hmm . Mm-hmm.Project Manager: And by doing so {disfmarker} Oh no , hold on . Doesn't save us quite as much . I don't know what's going on with this again .IndustrialDesigner: W why is the uh double curved two of them ?Project Manager: Oh , good point .Marketing: And double curve on both sides ?Project Manager: Um.Marketing: Curve {vocalsound} . Yeah , this is double-curve ,Project Manager: That's {vocalsound} sort of curve in and out .Marketing: no ?Industrial Designer:Is iMarketing: This is double-curve . It {disfmarker} This one is single curve .Industrial Designer: Mm .Marketing: 'Cause this is single curve , this is curved onboth sides . So double-curve .Project Manager: No , I think it means double curved as in umUser Interface: Like an S_ shape .Project Manager: like uh {gap} asingle curve on that bottom half , and the double curved would be if it was that similar curve upward .User Interface: Okay .Project Manager: Okay , I might bewrong though .Marketing: Like this , one curve on this side , one curve on that side .Project Manager: I don't think that counts as a curve , I think that's just ashape .Marketing: Hmm . Hmm .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: A curvature is like the {disfmarker} this case .User Interface: Okay.Marketing: Maybe .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} 'Cause that's the uh the biggest expense there , right .User Interface: Okay .Industrial Designer: {gap}got two of them {disfmarker}Project Manager: Yeah , and why why I've got it two , I don't know , I can't seem to select any more however .Industrial Designer:Okay . Well we can work around that um {disfmarker} {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound}User Interface: Mm-hmm .Project Manager: Right . No.Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Cut things out . But you think it should be one .Project Manager: It's meant to be one , yeah , I don't know why I put two inthere ,Industrial Designer: Okay .Project Manager: but um {disfmarker} Hold on till I find it , I think this shift button might be stuck again . No maybe the shiftbutton's stuck in .Industrial Designer: Yeah .Marketing: Mm .Project Manager: {vocalsound} Um okay , so that would take away three , which would give us{disfmarker}Marketing: Should {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Oh that's fine .Industrial Designer: Yeah , so we're {disfmarker}{vocalsound}Project Manager: Eleven uh eleven Euros sixty .User Interface: Cool . Cool .Project Manager: Um {vocalsound}User Interface: So we could even addsomething .Project Manager: We cou Oh not quite , have the scroll-wheel , unfortunately .Industrial Designer: We should fire the accountants .Project Manager:What ?Industrial Designer: Fire the accountants . {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound} {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Ahyeah , we could add things .Project Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Maybe if you click back in that bottom right cell , where you're starting from , and"}

Um . {vocalsound} {vocalsound} What are we talking about today ?PhD E: Uh , well , first there areperhaps these uh Meeting Recorder digits that we tested .Professor A: Oh , yeah . That was kind of uh interesting .PhD E: So .Professor A: The {disfmarker} boththe uh {disfmarker} {vocalsound} the SRI System and the othPhD E: Um .Professor A: And for one thing that {disfmarker} that sure shows the {vocalsound}difference between having a lot of uh training data {vocalsound} or not ,PhD E: Of data ? Yeah .Professor A: uh , the uh {disfmarker} {vocalsound} The best kindof number we have on the English uh {disfmarker} on near microphone only is {disfmarker} is uh three or four percent .PhD E: Mm - hmm .Professor A: And uhit 's significantly better than that , using fairly simple front - ends {vocalsound} on {disfmarker} {vocalsound} on the uh {disfmarker} {vocalsound} uh , withthe SRI system .PhD E: Mm - hmm .Professor A: So I th I think that the uh {disfmarker} But that 's {disfmarker} that 's using uh a {disfmarker} a pretty hugeamount of data , mostly not digits , of course , but {disfmarker} but then again {disfmarker} Well , yeah . In fact , mostly not digits for the actual training the HM Ms whereas uh in this case we 're just using digits for training the H MPhD E: Yeah . Right .Professor A: Did anybody mention about whether the {disfmarker}the SRI system is a {disfmarker} {vocalsound} is {disfmarker} is doing the digits um the wor as a word model or as uh a sub s sub - phone states ?PhD E: Iguess it 's {disfmarker} it 's uh allophone models ,Professor A: Yeah . Probably .PhD E: so , well {disfmarker}Professor A: Huh ?PhD E: Yeah . I think so ,because it 's their very d huge , their huge system .Professor A: Yeah .PhD E: And . But . So . There is one difference {disfmarker} Well , the SRI system{disfmarker} the result for the SRI system that are represented here are with adaptation . So there is {disfmarker} It 's their complete system and {disfmarker}including on - line uh unsupervised adaptation .Professor A: That 's true .PhD E: And if you don't use adaptation , the error rate is around fifty percent worse , Ithink , if I remember .Professor A: OK .PhD E: Yeah .Professor A: It 's tha it 's that much , huh ?PhD E: Nnn . It 's {disfmarker} Yeah . It 's quite significant.Professor A: Oh . OK .PhD E: Yeah .Professor A: Still .PhD E: Mm - hmm .Professor A: But {disfmarker} but uh what {disfmarker} what I think I 'd be interestedto do given that , is that we {disfmarker} we should uh {vocalsound} take {disfmarker} I guess that somebody 's gonna do this , right ? {disfmarker} is to takesome of these tandem things and feed it into the SRI system , right ?PhD E: Yeah .Professor A: Yeah .PhD E: We can do something like that .Professor A: Yeah .Because {disfmarker}PhD E: Yeah . But {disfmarker} But I guess the main point is the data because uh {vocalsound} I am not sure . Our back - end is{disfmarker} is fairly simple but until now , well , the attempts to improve it or {disfmarker} have fail Ah , well , I mean uh what Chuck tried to {disfmarker} to{disfmarker} to doProfessor A: Yeah , but he 's doing it with the same data , right ? I mean so to {disfmarker} {vocalsound} So there 's {disfmarker} there 's{disfmarker} there 's two things being affected .PhD E: Yeah . So it 's {disfmarker} Yeah .Professor A: I mean . One is that {disfmarker} that , you know , there's something simple that 's wrong with the back - end . We 've been playing a number of statesPhD E: Mm - hmm .Professor A: uh I {disfmarker} I don't know ifhe got to the point of playing with the uh number of Gaussians yetPhD E: Mm - hmm .Professor A: but {disfmarker} but uh , uh , you know . But , yeah , so farhe hadn't gotten any big improvement ,PhD E: Mm - hmm .Professor A: but that 's all with the same amount of data which is pretty small .PhD E: Yeah .ProfessorA: And um .PhD E: Mmm . So , yeah , we could retrain some of these tandem on {disfmarker} on huge {disfmarker}Professor A: Well , you could do that , but I'm saying even with it not {disfmarker} with that part not retrained , just {disfmarker} just using {disfmarker} having the H M Ms {disfmarker} much better HMPhD E: Ah , yeah . Just {disfmarker} f for the HMM models .Professor A: Yeah .PhD E: Yeah . Mm - hmm . Mm - hmm .Professor A: Um . {vocalsound} But justtrain those H M Ms using different features , the features coming from our Aurora stuff .PhD E: Yeah .Professor A: So .PhD E: Yeah . But {vocalsound} what wouldbe interesting to see also is what {disfmarker} what {disfmarker} perhaps it 's not related , the amount of data but the um recording conditions . I don't know .Because {vocalsound} it 's probably not a problem of noise , because our features are supposed to be robust to noise .Professor A: Well , yeah .PhD E: It 's not aproblem of channel , because there is um {vocalsound} {vocalsound} normalization with respect to the channel . So {disfmarker}Professor A: I {disfmarker} I{disfmarker} I 'm sorry . What {disfmarker} what is the problem that you 're trying to explain ?PhD E: The {disfmarker} the fact that {disfmarker} the resultwith the tandem and Aurora system are {vocalsound} uh so much worse .Professor A: That the {disfmarker} Oh . So much worse ? Oh .PhD E: Yeah .ProfessorA: I uh but I 'm {disfmarker} I 'm almost certain that it {disfmarker} it {disfmarker} {vocalsound} I mean , that it has to do with the um amount of training data.PhD E: It {disfmarker}Professor A: It {disfmarker} it 's {disfmarker} it 's orders of magnitude off .PhD E: Yeah but {disfmarker} Yeah . Yeah but we train onlyon digits and it 's {disfmarker} it 's a digit task , so . Well .Professor A: But {disfmarker} but having a huge {disfmarker} If {disfmarker} {vocalsound} if youlook at what commercial places do , they use a huge amount of data .PhD E: It {disfmarker} Mm - hmm .Professor A: This is a modest amount of data .PhD E:Alright . Yeah .Professor A: So . {vocalsound} I mean , ordinarily you would say \" well , given that you have enough occurrences of the digits , you can just trainwith digits rather than with , you know \" {disfmarker}PhD E: Mm - hmm . Mm - hmm .Professor A: But the thing is , if you have a huge {disfmarker} in otherwords , do word models {disfmarker} But if you have a huge amount of data then you 're going to have many occurrences of similar uh allophones .PhD E: Right .Mmm .Professor A: And that 's just a huge amount of training for it .PhD E: Yeah .Professor A: So it 's {vocalsound} um {disfmarker} {vocalsound} I{disfmarker} I think it has to be that , because , as you say , this is , you know , this is near - microphone ,PhD E: Mm - hmm .Professor A: it 's really prettyclean data .PhD E: Mm - hmm .Professor A: Um . Now , some of it could be the fact that uh {disfmarker} let 's see , in the {disfmarker} in these multi - trainthings did we include noisy data in the training ?PhD E: Yeah .Professor A: I mean , that could be hurting us actually , for the clean case .PhD E: Yeah . Well ,actually we see that the clean train for the Aurora proposals are {disfmarker} are better than the multi - train ,Professor A: It is if {disfmarker} Yeah .PhD E:yeah .Professor A: Yeah . Cuz this is clean data , and so that 's not too surprising .PhD E: Mm - hmm .Professor A: But um . Uh . So .PhD E: Well , o I guess whatI meant is that well , let 's say if we {disfmarker} if we add enough data to train on the um on the Meeting Recorder digits , I guess we could have better resultsthan this .Professor A: Uh - huh . Mm - hmm .PhD E: And . What I meant is that perhaps we can learn something uh from this , what 's {disfmarker} what 'swrong uh what {disfmarker} what is different between TI - digits and these digits and {disfmarker}Professor A: What kind of numbers are we getting on TI -digits ?PhD E: It 's point eight percent , so .Professor A: Oh . I see .PhD E: Four - Fourier .Professor A: So in the actual TI - digits database we 're getting pointeight percent ,PhD E: Yeah .

+{"doc_id":"doc_33","qid":"","text":"Lynne Neagle AM: Good morning, everyone. Welcome to the Children, Young People and Education Committee. We've received no apologies, although DawnBowden is running late. I'll take this opportunity to welcome Dawn formally to the committee but also to place on record our thanks to John Griffiths for hisservice to the committee. Are there any declarations of interest, please? No. Okay. Item 2, then, this morning is a scrutiny session with a focus on higher andfurther education. I'm very pleased to welcome Kirsty Williams, Cabinet Secretary for Education, Eluned Morgan, Minister for Welsh Language and LifelongLearning, and Huw Morris, who is the group director of skills, higher education and lifelong learning. Thank you all for your attendance this morning. If you'reokay with it, we'll go straight into questions. The first questions are from Suzy Davies.Suzy Davies AM: Thank you, Chair. If we can just start with teacher trainingand teacher training for secondary school teachers in particular, obviously there's been what looks like a trend in recent years in filling the places for secondaryschool training. Obviously, this is at Welsh teacher training centres. Do you think there's still a problem recruiting teachers into the 300 priority places, or is therea trend where things are getting better?Kirsty Williams AM: Thank you, Suzy. I think, for this year's intake, although we're in touch with our providers, we're notin a position to be able to give figures for this year's intake for a couple of months. But what we have seen over recent years is that we are only recruiting toabout 65 per cent of those targets. So, there is still a job of work to do to understand and to respond to those needs. So, what we're doing is first of all makingsure that our ITE provision is world class, so that, actually, Welsh centres are the place to go to train to be a teacher. You'll be aware that we've recently beenthrough an accreditation process for new ITE provision that will start in the next academic year. We have looked at financial incentives. It's not the whole answer,I think, to these issues, but it's part of a mixture of things that we need to do. You'll be aware that, for priority subjects, with graduates with the very highestlevels of qualifications, those financial incentives are now £20,000 a year. We're also embarking on our first ever national ITE recruitment marketing exercise. Wehave initially done some work in the last year specifically targeting Welsh students in studying for priority subject degrees, e-mailing them, sending themmaterials to ask them to consider (1) becoming a teacher, and (2) crucially coming to do that training here in Wales. We are now part of a full nationalprogramme of ITE recruitment, giving people that idea that you can serve your nation and your community by training to be a teacher. So, there's a wholepackage of things we need to do. In January of this year I set up an advisory board on the recruitment and retention of teaching staff, and we are awaiting somereports from that advisory group on what they feel that we should do next.Suzy Davies AM: Thank you for that answer. I can see there's a lot of activity, but whatexactly is it responding to? Presumably, some research has been done about why people don't want to become teachers so that the answers you come up withare appropriate answers. I can't believe it's just about ITE, although this is very valuable, what you're talking about. Is there something that's running throughour younger learners at the moment that makes them think that teaching isn't a profession they want to go into? Is that something that's happening just in Walesor is it happening elsewhere as well?Kirsty Williams AM: No. I think what you will find is that this isn't a uniquely Welsh issue. I think they are suffering quiteacute problems across the border, which proves to me that money isn't necessarily the entire answer, because, despite higher financial incentives to join ITEcourses, they're not able to do that in England either. So, that proves to me—what the research does show—that it's not money alone that will get people ontothese courses. Interestingly, I don't even think it's a UK problem. Recently, as you'll be aware via my written statement, I attended the AtlanticRim Collaboratory, which is a system-to-system conference. If you talk to education systems in different parts of the world, the one common factor that we are allgrappling with is teacher recruitment and retention. In the USA, they have seen a 40 per cent drop in the number of students training to be teachers. So, in theCalifornian system, significant teacher shortages, and in Oregon, Washington. I met with New York state—significant teacher recruitment and retention problemsin New York state, and in Finland, Australia. So, this is a common issue across the globe, really. That's why we set up the advisory group under the chairmanshipof Professor John Gardner—it's to understand what the issues are exactly that are preventing people or putting people off. One of the things that we have gotstrong performance in, and I think this is perhaps something that we're trying to follow up on, are employment-based routes into qualified teacher status—so,those are people who are training on the job. Those remain strong. There's high demand for those places, so much so that we've increased those places to 90 lastyear and 90 again this year, which says to me that—there's definitely a place for the traditional, 'Take a year off, do a postgraduate certificate in education in auniversity for a year'—actually, that type of course suits some students but it might be preventing other people from pursuing a qualification in teaching, which iswhy, of course, from next year, we will have our unique part-time PGCE route into qualification. So, that allows people to perhaps combine some of theiremployment opportunities, so they can earn while they learn, or maybe they've got caring responsibilities that prevent them from going to do a full-time course. Ithink that will give us an alternative route that people can take to gain qualified teacher status and work in our schools. So, there's no one thing, I think, that wecan do that will solve this issue. But it is an international issue, I agree with that.Suzy Davies AM: Okay. Well, that's what I was after finding out, and, actually,what you've just said about the part-time PGCE is pretty interesting as well, because if you can bring your outside world experience into teaching, that's got tohelp, hasn't it?Kirsty Williams AM: Can I just agree with you? I think that is really, really important—that we have a diversity in our teaching workforce. I thinkthe different dynamic that brings to a school and the experience that brings to children is really, really valuable. I was up in the Deeside Sixth just last week,talking to the A-level chemistry teacher. She had been a teacher for a while, she'd gone into industry, worked in industry, and now had come back into teaching.She said that she felt that that made her a better educator and she could talk with knowledge and experience about the opportunities outside of teaching that thestudents in front of her could pursue. I'm very keen to increase the diversity in our teaching workforce and I'm very keen in looking at career changers, whoperhaps have different life experience and work experience, coming into our teaching profession.Suzy Davies AM: Thank you for that. Part of that diversity, ofcourse—it would be great if you had more people interested in qualifying to teach through the medium of Welsh. Great aspirations; the trend's going the otherway. No-one can solve this in 280 characters, I get that, but can you give us some indication about why you think this is proving still such an unattractive optionwhen it's clear that there's a policy for this country to improve the number of Welsh speakers? You'd have thought there'd be a pretty good carrot for this.KirstyWilliams AM: Sure. Again, data for recruitment for the 2018-19 cohort is not yet available and we are, as I said, keeping in touch with our ITE centres to keep aclose eye on them. I think an important thing to recognise is that there is a difference between the number of people who are on courses where there is a specificdesignation that enables them to teach through the medium of Welsh and those people who have linguistic ability and Welsh ability but don't necessarily do acourse that allows them. So, there is a difference. We do think that, for the 2016-17 cohort, there were an additional 130 qualifiers that, actually, were fluent inWelsh and who could have gone on to teach in Welsh-medium schools, didn't necessarily do a course that gave them that designation. But, clearly, we've gotthree academic years now to get to the targets that we've set ourselves. The evaluation of Welsh-medium provision in ITE reported at the end of last month, andthe Minister and officials are busy working now to implement the recommendations of the report that was published, I think, on 28 September, to be able to movethis agenda forward. Again, we've got new incentives, this year, both for people starting their course and then for teachers who complete their QTS after a year.So, we've added in new financial incentives this year to try and address some of those issues. But, clearly, these are ambitious targets and we will need to have astep change over the next three years if we're to meet them.Suzy Davies AM: Thank you for that, Cabinet Secretary. Thank you for that answer. We're nowtalking about cohorts of students coming into PGCE and teaching degrees. If they're from Wales, they will have had Welsh as part of their education from dayone, and we'll accept there are varying qualities in different parts of Wales, different attitudes towards it as well. But there isn't a single a person now who's beenthrough Welsh education who can say they have no Welsh at all, unless they've moved into the system from, say, England very, very recently. What is being donewithin the teaching qualifications, including the degrees, to ensure that, at least in Welsh universities, those nascent Welsh language skills are at least kept alive,even though we're not talking necessarily about being at a level where people can teach through the medium? It's the age-old question: once the school gatecloses, is that the end of their Welsh use? So, is there something—it won't be Donaldson, but in the teacher training qualifications—that is keeping this going and,hopefully, increasing the usability of the Welsh skills they have?Kirsty Williams AM: Well, in terms of how we can encourage children who have got Welsh skills asa result of their education up to 16, how they can continue to use those skills and, potentially, use them in the workplace, I'm sure Eluned will want to talkabout some of the work, for instance, in other, non-teaching sectors. But, with regard to ITE, you'll be aware that, in the evaluation report, as I said, that waspublished, the report comes forward with two options in how we could develop an intervention programme to support Welsh language skills amongst all primaryand secondary ITE entrants. So, what we'll be doing now as a result of that report is that we'll be working very closely with our ITE centres to develop and agreeupon minimum provision that constitutes those skill levels within ITE provision for all teachers.Suzy Davies AM: Thank you.Lynne Neagle AM: Llyr.Llyr GruffyddAM: You have your targets for 2021, in terms of numbers of teachers coming through the system, which is positive, although, clearly, the report or the review"}

But , I don't even know how to play this . No .Project Manager: Press the little presentation. It's the um {disfmarker} it looks like a Y_ kind of {disfmarker} over there above Draw . There , that one , there you go .Marketing: Alright . So we're just gonnatalk a little bit about the functional requirements that people specified when they were asked . Um I guess Real Reaction did some market research . They had ahundred subjects and their usability lab and they watched them watch T_V_ and recorded the frequency that they used particular buttons and the relevance thatthose buttons had . What they found was they analysed people's desires and needs . Focusing on their desires , um people specifically said that they thoughtremotes were ugly {vocalsound} , seventy five per cent of the a hundred subjects noted that and that they {disfmarker} more importantly though , eighty percent said that they would be willing to pay more for a fancier looking remote . I don't know anything beyond what fancy means ,Industrial Designer: Hmm.Marketing: but that's particularly of use to us , I think . Um also they did some questions on voice recognition and found that the desire for voice recognition wasinversely related to age , so younger people were more inclined to want something with voice recognition , whereas the older people in the like sixty and abovesegment or so did not really think that they would pay more money for voice recognitions .Industrial Designer: 'Kay .Marketing: Um people also had certainfrustrations , that I think that we could try to take into consideration with our design . That being people k um frustrated with losing their remotes . I think , overfifty percent of the people mentioned that that was their biggest frustration . People are also frustrated with the difficulty it is to learn how to use a remote and Ithink that ties back to what you were saying beforeIndustrial Designer: Hmm .Marketing: just that there's too many buttons , it just needs to be easy to use . Italso mentioned something called R_S_I_ and I was hoping someone might be able to inform me as to what R_S_I_ is ,User Interface: Repetitive strain injury.Marketing: because I don't know .Project Manager: {gap}User Interface: Repetitive strain injury .Marketing: What ? Ah . There we go .User Interface: So if you{disfmarker}Marketing: Wow . People do not like that . So I guess sort of the carpal tunnel type thing , people do not like that , um the repetitive use , I guess ,caused a strain . Um looking at the needs people specified , the problem right now is that people's remotes are not matching their operating behaviour . Peopleare only using ten per cent of the buttons that they have offered to them on their remote . And what people do most often is changing the channel and changingthe volume . People also zap like to change the channel , about um sixty five per cent during an hour of use . So we really just need to focus in on those volumesand channel changers rather than things like the audio settings , the screen settings and the channel settings , because they're used much more infrequently andprobably just complicate what's going on . So I think that some things that we might wanna think about , the idea of an L_C_D_ screen was brought up althoughthey didn't have any details on what people's preferences on that were , so I dunno know if that's coming to me later , or something like that . But something forus to consider also just the phenomenon that less is more when it comes to the buttons on the remote or what we wanna make easiest to use , make sure that ,you know , something like an audio setting isn't given as much importance and visibility on the remote as something like channel changing that's used a lot moreoften . And basically in order for us to win over to the consumer we just need to focus on what it looks like , that it has a fancy appeal and that it's not ugly{vocalsound} and that it feels like the way they're gonna use it , so it doesn't give them any hand injuries or things like that .Industrial Designer: Hmm .ProjectManager: Thank you very much . That was that was great .Industrial Designer: Mm 'kay .Project Manager: Um {vocalsound} 's move on to the next presentationum on effects . Was that you ?Marketing: Hmm .Project Manager: Great .Marketing: Yeah , have I unscrewed it ?Project Manager: Push . User interface , right .Interface .Marketing: Here we go .User Interface: Cheers .Marketing: Mm-hmm . And I think that's in the shared , if I did it right , if anyone wants to look at it.Project Manager: Mm 'kay , thank you .Industrial Designer: Okay , great .Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Okay .User Interface: Here we go . Right soI'm gonna talk about the technical technical functions design of the remote control um . We need to start by considering what a remote control actually is . It's adevice that allows us to produce certain effects on our television , so i it's basically a communication device . We we tell the remote control what we want to do , itsends a message to the television saying change the channel , change the volume , uh yeah , adjust these settings , adjust the brightness . Um how do weactually go about designing a new television remote control ? First thing to do is to come up with the design specifications . We need to know what our finalproduct is gonna be like , so we need a a clear idea of exactly what this product does , uh how it works , and what the end-user is gonna want from this product .Um . Oh , a way I'd suggest that we could go about this is by designing uh several different prototypes of user interfaces for this product , um and then uh tryingto get some feedback uh aboutMarketing: {vocalsound}User Interface: h how well these particular prototypes work , uh sorta find out what people think of 'em .Um using a remote control is is quite a subjective experience . Um ,Project Manager: Hmm .User Interface: and different different people sort of prefer differentthings . Um we should remember that remote controls are a a fairly standard piece of equipment . When a users using a remote control , he or she expects thebuttons to be in certain places . So in some sense we're gonna we're gonna have to aim for a device which is fairly conventional in design uh so that we're notcompletely shocking people . But I think within that there is also room for us to introduce novel ideas uh and to make something that's that's perhaps a little bitdifferent , something that stands out . Um also in in designing the user interface we need to consider practicalities . Uh the first of these is is technological ye uhwhat can we do with the current state of technology as it is . The second is is economic , uh we need to find a balance between features and price . So as youmentioned things like voice recognition would would add to the price uh but it would also im improve the design of the product .Project Manager: Hmm .UserInterface: So I had a look on the {disfmarker} on the web uh to see if I could find a few examples of existing television remote controls . In analysing these wecan consider what what things {disfmarker} what's good about them , uh what things do they get right , what's bad about them , what's wrong with 'em , umhow we can improve on the designs that that that I found and what can we do to make our product stand out from from the large majority of remote controls .Here's two examples uh probably at the extreme ends of the spectrum .Project Manager: {vocalsound}User Interface: Um on the left here we've got uh anengineering-based design for a remote control ,Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface: so it's one that's got lots of buttons , it's it's fully featured ,everything you might possibly want to do is there , you know , it's got forward , backwards , up , down , channel numbers , volume , uh freeze frame . Yeah , it'sit's fully featured and it might take a while to get to learn to use it , but once you've learned it you can {disfmarker} you can do whatever you want with yourT_V_ . The one on the right is a lot more basic . It's just got the essential functions of the T_V_ changing the channel , play , stop , volume . It would be a lotquicker to learn to use it , but again th it's it's swings and roundabouts . There are disadvantages , you can't use it say to to freeze the television picture . Uhthere's a lot of features that are missing from that remote control . So we've got to to find our {disfmarker} find a way of striking a balance between the two . Umas I said before , remote controls are subjective , different people want want different things . Um personally wa what I want from a remote control is a devicethat's simple , it it's easy to use , uh it's got big buttons for doing the things I do most often , changing the volume , changing the channel . It it does everything"}

OK , so let 's talk about that a bit .PhD A: I mean , that was {disfmarker}Professor B: Uh, @ @ tuss close talking mikes , better quality . OK , {vocalsound} uh , we can talk about that . You were gonna {disfmarker} starting to say something ?PostdocG: Well , you {disfmarker} you , um , already know about the meeting {comment} that 's coming up and I don't know if {disfmarker} if this is appropriate forthis .

Uh , OK , so we can talk about that . Uh , I guess just hear about how things are going with , uh , uh, the transcriptions . That 's right .Postdoc G: Sure . Mm - hmm .Professor B: That would sorta be an obvious thing to discuss . Um , An - anything else , uh ,strike anybody ?PhD A: Uh , we started {pause} running recognition on {pause} one conversation but it 's the r {pause} isn't working yet . So , But if anyone has{disfmarker}Professor B: OK .PhD E: WhaPhD A: uh , the main thing would be if anyone has , um , knowledge about ways to , uh , post - process the wave formsthat would give us better recognition , that would be helpful to know about .Professor B: Um ,Grad H: Dome yeah , it sounds like a topic of conversation.Professor B: Yeah , so , uh {disfmarker}PhD E: What about , uh , is there anything new with the speech , nonspeech stuff ?PhD C: Yeah , we 're working more onit but , {vocalsound} it 's not finished .Professor B: OK . Alright , that seems like a {disfmarker} a good collection of things . And we 'll undoubtedly think of{pause} other things .Postdoc G: I had thought under my topic that I would mention the , uh , four items that I {disfmarker} I , uh , put out for being on theagenda f on that meeting , which includes like the pre - segmentation and the {disfmarker} and the developments in multitrans .Professor B: Oh , under the NISTmeeting .Postdoc G: Yeah , under the NIST thing .Professor B: OK .Postdoc G: Yeah .Professor B: Alright , why don't we start off with this , u u I guess the orderwe brought them up seems fine .Postdoc G: Yeah .Professor B: Um , so , better quality close talking mikes . So the one issue was that the {disfmarker} the , uh ,lapel mike , uh , isn't as good as you would like . And so , uh , it {disfmarker} it 'd be better if we had close talking mikes for everybody . Right ?PhD A: Ri - um,Professor B: Is that {disfmarker} is that basically the point ?PhD A: yeah , the {disfmarker} And actually in addition to that , that the {disfmarker} the closetalking mikes are worn in such a way as to best capture the signal . And the reason here is just that for the people doing work not on microphones but on sort oflike dialogue and so forth , uh {disfmarker} or and even on prosody , which Don is gonna be working on soon , it adds this extra , you know , vari variable foreach speaker to {disfmarker} to deal with when the microphones aren't similar .Professor B: Mm - hmm .Grad H: Right .PhD A: So {disfmarker} And I also talkedto Mari this morning and she also had a strong preference for doing that . And in fact she said that that 's useful for them to know in starting to collect their datatoo .Professor B: Mm - hmm . Right , so one thGrad H: Well , so {disfmarker}Professor B: uh , well one thing I was gonna say was that , um , i we could get more, uh , of the head mounted microphones even beyond the number of radio channels we have because I think whether it 's radio or wire is probably second - order. And the main thing is having the microphone close to you ,PhD A: Mm - hmm .Professor B: u although , not too close .Grad H: Right , so , uh , actually the wayJose is wearing his is {disfmarker} is c {pause} correct .PhD D: Yeah . Is {disfmarker}Grad H: The good way . So you want to {disfmarker}Professor B: Yeah.PhD D: I it 's not cor it 's correct ?Professor B: Is .Grad H: Yeah , th that 's good .Professor B: Yes .PhD D: Yeah .Grad H: So it 's towards the corner of yourmouth so that breath sounds don't get on it .PhD D: Yeah . Yeah .Grad H: And then just sort of about , uh , a thumb or {disfmarker} a thumb and a half awayfrom your {disfmarker} from your mouth .PhD D: Yeah . Yeah . Uh , yeah .Professor B: Right .PhD A: But we have more than one type of {disfmarker}ProfessorB: How am I dPhD A: I mean , for instance , you 're {disfmarker}PhD C: Yeah .Grad H: And this one isn't very adjustable ,PhD D: Yeah .Grad H: so this about asgood as I can getPhD A: Right .PhD D: Yeah .Grad H: cuz it 's a fixed boom .PhD D: Is fixed . Yeah .PhD A: But if we could actually standardize , you know , the{disfmarker} the microphones , uh , as much as possible that would be really helpful .Professor B: Yeah .PhD E: Mm - hmm .PhD D: Yeah .Grad H: Mm - hmm.Professor B: Well , I mean it doesn't hurt to have a few extra microphones around ,PhD D: Yeah .Professor B: so why don't we just go out and {disfmarker} andget an order of {disfmarker} of if this microphone seems OK to people , uh , I 'd just get a half dozen of these things .Grad H: Well the onl the only problem withthat is right now , um , some of the Jimlets aren't working . The little {disfmarker} the boxes under the table .Professor B: Yeah .Grad H: And so , w Uh , I 'veonly been able to find three jacks that are working .Professor B: Yeah .PhD E: Can we get these , wireless ?Grad H: So {disfmarker}Professor B: No , but mypoint is {disfmarker}PhD A: But y we could just record these signals separately and time align them with the start of the meeting .Professor B: R r right{disfmarker}Grad H: I {disfmarker} I 'm not sure I 'm follow . Say that again ?Professor B: Right now , we 've got , uh , two microphones in the room , that arenot quote - unquote standard . So why don't we replace those {disfmarker}Grad H: OK , just two .Professor B: Well , however many we can plug in . You know ,if we can plug in three , let 's plug in three .Grad H: OK .PhD D: Mm - yeah .Professor B: Also what we 've talked before about getting another , uh , radio ,GradH: Right .Professor B: and so then that would be , you know , three {pause} more .Grad H: Right . OK .PhD D: Mm - hmm .Professor B: So , uh {disfmarker} sowe should go out to our full complement of whatever we can do , but have them all be the same mike . I think the original reason that it was done the other waywas because , it w it was sort of an experimental thing and I don't think anybody knew whether people would rather have more variety or {disfmarker}{vocalsound} or , uh , more uniformity ,PhD A: Right .Professor B: but {disfmarker} @ @ {comment} but uh , sounds {disfmarker} sounds fine .Grad H: Soundslike uniformity wins .PhD D: Right .PhD A: Well , for short term research it 's just {disfmarker} there 's just so much effort that would have to be done up front nuh ,Professor B: Yeah .Grad H: Well {disfmarker}PhD A: so {disfmarker} yeah , uniformity would be great .Grad H: Yeah .PhD E: Is it because {disfmarker} You{disfmarker} you 're saying the {disfmarker} for dialogue purposes , so that means that the transcribers are having trouble with those mikes ? Is that what youmean ?PhD A: Well Jane would know more about the transcribers .PhD E: Or {disfmarker} ?Postdoc G: And that 's true . I mean , I {disfmarker} we did discussthis . Uh , and {disfmarker} and {disfmarker}Grad H: Yep . Couple times .Postdoc G: a couple times , so , um , yeah , the transcribers notice {disfmarker} And infact there 're some where , um {disfmarker} ugh well , I mean there 's {disfmarker} it 's the double thing . It 's the equipment and also how it 's worn .PhD A:Right .Postdoc G: And he 's always {disfmarker} they always {disfmarker} they just rave about how wonderful Adam 's {disfmarker} Adam 's channel is .Grad H:What can I say .Postdoc G: And then ,PhD A: So does the recognizer .Professor B: Yeah .Postdoc G: Yeah .Grad H: Oh , really ? Yeah , I 'm not surprised . I mean, \" Baaah ! \"PhD A: Even if {disfmarker} if you 're talking on someone else 's mike it 's still {pause} you wPostdoc G: Yeah , but I mean it 's not just that , it 'salso you know youProfessor B: Yeah .PhD C: Yeah .Postdoc G: It 's also like n no breathing , no {disfmarker} You know , it 's like it 's {disfmarker} it 's um,Professor B: Yeah .Postdoc G: it 's really {disfmarker} {nonvocalsound} it makes a big difference from the transcribers ' point of viewGrad H: Yeah , it 's anadvantage when you don't breath .Postdoc G: and also from the research s point of view .PhD A: Right .Professor B: When we 're doing {disfmarker}Grad H:Yeah , I think that the point of doing the close talking mike is to get a good quality signal . We 're not doing research on close talking mikes .Postdoc G: Yeah.Professor B: Yeah .Grad H: So we might as well get it as uniform as we can .PhD A: Right .Professor B: Now , this is locking the barn door after the horse wasstolen . We do have thirty hours , of {disfmarker} of speech , which is done this way .Grad H: Yeah .PhD A: That 's OK .Professor B: But {disfmarker} but , uh ,yeah , for future ones we can get it a bit more uniform .PhD A: Great , great .Grad H: So I think just do a field trip at some point .Professor B: Yeah , probably{disfmarker} yeah , to the store we talked about and that {disfmarker}Grad H: Yep .Postdoc G: And there was some talk about , uh , maybe the h headphonesthat are uncomfortable for people , to {disfmarker}Grad H: Yep . So , as {disfmarker} as I said , we 'll do a field trip and see if we can get all of the same mikethat 's more comfortable than {disfmarker} than these things , which I think are horrible .Postdoc G: OK .

No , that would have been a good thing to find outbefore this meeting , that 's . No , I have no {disfmarker} I have no idea . Um , Uh , so I mean , let 's {disfmarker} let 's assume for right now that we 're justkind of plugging on ahead ,PhD B: Yeah .Professor C: because even if they tell us that , uh , the rules are different , uh , we 're still interested in doing what we're doing . So what are you doing ?PhD B: Mm - hmm . Uh , well , we 've {disfmarker} a little bit worked on trying to see , uh , what were the bugs and theproblem with the latencies .PhD D: To improve {disfmarker}PhD B: So , We took {disfmarker} first we took the LDA filters and , {vocalsound} uh , we designednew filters , using uh recursive filters actually .Professor C: So when you say \" we \" , is that something Sunil is doing or is that {disfmarker} ?PhD B: I 'm sorry?Professor C: Who is doing that ?PhD B: Uh , us . Yeah .Professor C: Oh , oh . Oh , OK .PhD B: So we took the filters {disfmarker} the FIR filters {vocalsound}and we {comment} designed , uh , IIR filters that have the same frequency response .PhD D: But {disfmarker}Professor C: Mm - hmm .PhD B: Well , similar ,but that have shorter delays .Professor C: Mm - hmm .PhD B: So they had two filters , one for the low frequency bands and another for the high frequency bands. And so we redesigned two filters . And the low frequency band has sixty - four milliseconds of delay , and the high frequency band filter has something likeeleven milliseconds compared to the two hundred milliseconds of the IIR filters . But it 's not yet test . So we have the filters but we still have to implement aroutine that does recursive filteringProfessor C: OK .PhD B: and {disfmarker}Professor C: You {disfmarker} you had a discussion with Sunil about this though?PhD B: No . No .Professor C: Uh - huh . Yeah , you should talk with him .PhD B: Yeah , yeah .Professor C: Yeah . No , I mean , because the {disfmarker} the{disfmarker} the {disfmarker} the whole problem that happened before was coordination ,PhD B: Mm - hmm .Professor C: right ? So {disfmarker} so you needto discuss with him what we 're doing ,PhD B: Yeah .Professor C: uh , cuz they could be doing the same thing and {disfmarker} or something .PhD B: Mm - hmm. Uh , I {disfmarker} yeah , I don't know if th that 's what they were trying to {disfmarker} They were trying to do something different like taking , uh{disfmarker} well , using filter that takes only a pastProfessor C: Right .PhD B: and this is just a little bit different . But I will I will send him an email and tell himexactly what we are doing , so .Professor C: Yeah , yeah . Um ,PhD B: Um ,Professor C: I mean {disfmarker} We just {disfmarker} we just have to be in contactmore . I think that {disfmarker} the {disfmarker} the fact that we {disfmarker} we did that with {disfmarker} had that thing with the latencies was indicative ofthe fact that there wasn't enough communication .PhD B: Mm - hmm .Professor C: So .PhD B: Alright .Professor C: OK .PhD B: Um , Yeah . Well , there is w one ,um , remark about these filters , that they don't have a linear phase . So ,Professor C: Right .PhD B: Well , I don't know , perhaps it {disfmarker} perhaps itdoesn't hurt because the phase is almost linear but . Um , and so , yeah , for the delay I gave you here , it 's {disfmarker} it 's , uh , computed on the five hertzmodulation frequency , which is the {disfmarker} mmm , well , the most important for speech so . Uh , this is the first thing .Professor C: So that would be , uh ,a reduction of a hundred and thirty - six milliseconds ,PhD D: The low f fPhD B: Yeah .Professor C: which , uh {disfmarker} What was the total we ended up withthrough the whole system ?PhD B: Three hundred and thirty .Professor C: So that would be within {disfmarker} ?PhD B: Yeah , but there are other points actually, uh , which will perhaps add some more delay . Is that some other {disfmarker} other stuff in the process were perhaps not very {disfmarker} um perf well , notvery correct , like the downsampling which w was simply dropping frames .Professor C: Yeah .PhD B: Um , so we will try also to add a nice downsampling havinga filter that {disfmarker} that {disfmarker}Professor C: Uh - huh .PhD B: well , a low - pass filter at {disfmarker} at twenty - five hertz . Uh , because wh when{disfmarker} when we look at the LDA filters , well , they are basically low - pass but they leave a lot of what 's above twenty - five hertz .Professor C: Yeah .PhDB: Um , and so , yeah , this will be another filter which would add ten milliseconds again .Professor C: Yeah .PhD B: Um , yeah , and then there 's a third thing , isthat , um , basically the way on - line normalization was done uh , is just using this recursion on {disfmarker} on the um , um , on the feature stream ,ProfessorC: Yeah .PhD B: and {disfmarker} but this is a filter , so it has also a delay . Uh , and when we look at this filter actually it has a delay of eighty - five milliseconds. So if we {disfmarker}Professor C: Eighty - five .PhD B: Yeah . If we want to be very correct , so if we want to {disfmarker} the estimation of the mean t t to{disfmarker} to be {disfmarker} well , the right estimation of the mean , we have to t to take eighty - five milliseconds in the future . Mmm .Professor C: Hmm !That 's a little bit of a problem .PhD B: Yeah . Um , But , well , when we add up everything it 's {disfmarker} it will be alright . We would be at six so , sixty - five ,plus ten , plus {disfmarker} for the downsampling , plus eighty - five for the on - line normalization . So it 'sProfessor C: Uh ,PhD B: plus {disfmarker} plus eightyfor the neural net and PCA .Professor C: yeah , but then there 's {disfmarker} Oh .PhD B: So it would be around two hundred and forty {disfmarker} so , well,Professor C: Just {disfmarker} just barely in there .PhD B: plus {disfmarker} plus the frames , but it 's OK .PhD A: What 's the allowable ?Professor C: Two - fifty, unless they changed the rules .PhD B: Hmm .Professor C: Which there is {disfmarker} there 's some discussion of .PhD A: What were they thinking of changingit to ?Professor C: But {disfmarker}PhD B: Yeah .Professor C: Uh , well the people who had very low latency want it to be low {disfmarker} uh , very{disfmarker} {vocalsound} very very narrow , uh , latency bound . And the people who have longer latency don't . So .PhD A: Huh .PhD B: So , yeah .ProfessorC: Unfortunately we 're the main ones with long latency , butPhD A: Ah !Professor C: But , uh ,PhD B: Yeah , and basically the best proposal had something likethirty or forty milliseconds of latency .Professor C: you know , it 's {disfmarker} Yeah .PhD B: So . Well .Professor C: Yeah , so they were basically {disfmarker} Imean , they were more or less trading computation for performance and we were , uh , trading latency for performance . And they were dealing with noiseexplicitly and we weren't , and so I think of it as complementary , that if we can put the {disfmarker}PhD A: Think of it as what ?Professor C: Complementary.PhD A: Hmm .Professor C: I think the best systems {disfmarker} so , uh , everything that we did in in a way it was {disfmarker} it was just adamantly insistingon going in with a brain damaged system , which is something {disfmarker} actually , we 've done a lot over the last thirteen years . Uh , {vocalsound} which iswe say , well this is the way we should do it . And then we do it . And then someone else does something that 's straight forward . So , w th w this was a test thatlargely had additive noise and we did {disfmarker} we adde did absolutely nothing explicitly to handle ad additive noise .PhD A: Right .Professor C: We just , uh ,you know , trained up systems to be more discriminant . And , uh , we did this , uh , RASTA - like filtering which was done in the log domain and was tending tohandle convolutional noise . We did {disfmarker} we actually did nothing about additive noise . So , um , the , uh , spectral sub subtraction schemes a coupleplaces did seem to seem to do a nice job . And so , uh , we 're talking about putting {disfmarker} putting some of that in while still keeping some of our stuff . Ithink you should be able to end up with a system that 's better than both but clearly the way that we 're operating for this other stuff does involved some latencyto {disfmarker} to get rid of most of that latency . To get down to forty or fifty milliseconds we 'd have to throw out most of what we 're doing . And {disfmarker}and , uh , I don't think there 's any good reason for it in the application actually . I mean , you 're {disfmarker} you 're {disfmarker} you 're speaking to arecognizer on a remote server and , uh , having a {disfmarker} a {disfmarker} a quarter second for some processing to clean it up . It doesn't seem like it 's thatbig a deal .PhD A: Mm - hmm .Professor C: These aren't large vocabulary things so the decoder shouldn't take a really long time , and .PhD A: And I don't thinkanybody 's gonna notice the difference between a quarter of a second of latency and thirty milliseconds of latency .Professor C: So . No . What {disfmarker} whatdoes {disfmarker} wa was your experience when you were doing this stuff with , uh , the {disfmarker} the {disfmarker} the surgical , uh , uh , microscopes andso forth . Um , how long was it from when somebody , uh , finished an utterance to when , uh , something started happening ?PhD A: Um , we had a silencedetector , so we would look for the end of an utterance based on the silence detector .Professor C: Mm - hmm .PhD A: And I {disfmarker} I can't remember nowoff the top of my head how many frames of silence we had to detect before we would declare it to be the end of an utterance .Professor C: Mm - hmm . Mm -hmm .PhD A: Um , but it was , uh , I would say it was probably around the order of two hundred and fifty milliseconds .Professor C: Yeah , and that 's when you'd start doing things .PhD A: Yeah , we did the back trace at that point to get the answer .Professor C: Yeah . Of course that didn't take too long at that point .PhDA: No , no it was pretty quick .Professor C: Yeah .PhD A: So {disfmarker}Professor C: Yeah , so you {disfmarker} you {disfmarker} so you had aPhD A: thiswProfessor C: so you had a {disfmarker} a quarter second delay before , uh , plus some little processing time ,PhD A: Right .Professor C: and then the{disfmarker} the microscope would start moving or something .PhD A: Right .Professor C: Yeah .PhD A: Right .Professor C: And there 's physical inertia there , soprobably the {disfmarker} the motion itself was all {disfmarker}PhD A: And it felt to , uh , the users that it was instantaneous . I mean , as fast as talking to aperson . It {disfmarker} th I don't think anybody ever complained about the delay .Professor C: Yeah , so you would think as long as it 's under half a second or"}

Sorry .Project Manager: Okay .Marketing:{vocalsound}Project Manager: 'S just a bit nicer calling people by their names I think .Industrial Designer: Right .User Interface: {vocalsound}IndustrialDesigner: True .Project Manager: {vocalsound} Uh , right .Marketing: Mm 'kay .Project Manager: Okay , right , welcome to meeting B_ . Um this is gonna go a lotbetter than the last meeting , basically ,Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: uh 'cause I know what I'm supposed tobe doing now .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound} I am your Project Manager , and , uh yeah , I'm justhere toIndustrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {gap} sort of liaise between the three of you and get things going , get people talking and and I'mgonna be making notes and sending them off to the powers that be and stuff basically . Um right , this {disfmarker} for the purposes of this meeting{disfmarker} what this meeting is all about is um I'm gonna have some presentations from all three of you , what you've been working on for the last wee while ,when you haven't been getting hit with spam on your computers and and , you know , filling out silly questionnaires and things .Industrial Designer:{vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: But hopefully you've been {disfmarker} actually been doing something productive . So we're gonna{disfmarker} each of you gonna give us a litt a little presentation . {vocalsound} Um .Marketing: Mm .Project Manager: Then we're gonna {vocalsound} work ,you know , from each of your presentations . We'll we'll uh talk about what we actually need as a final coming together of it all . Um and then we'll , yeah , we'll{gap} sort of conclude {gap} anything else comes up at the end of it .Industrial Designer: How long is the meeting ?Project Manager: This meeting it's not verylong . It's uh probably down to about thirty five minutes now . So I want each of your presentations to not be too long , five five minutes , something like that.Industrial Designer: Okay . {vocalsound} No problem . {vocalsound}Project Manager: Um if you haven't done a PowerPoint thingy , it doesn't matter , it it just itjust says that you {disfmarker} it's {disfmarker} that's just one particular medium . If you haven't had time to prepare one , you can draw stuff on the noteboard, you can talk to us , you can {disfmarker} you know however you want to do your little presentation , basically , you can . Don't feel pressurised into using thisthing . 'Cause I don't .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound} Uh okay . So um . You okay over there ? Reissa ,Marketing: I'm fine .Yeah .Project Manager: are you uh b are you joining in with this meeting hereMarketing: I uh yeah , yeah .Project Manager: or are y or are y or are you are youjust are you just uh doing some Internet shopping there ? {vocalsound}User Interface: Think she's finishing up her presentation .Marketing: D I mean , I I'mfinishing off my presentation .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: No no . {vocalsound} Uh I'm done . Okay .Project Manager: Okay , jolly good . Alright, let's have um {disfmarker} well , we all know that it's it's a remote control that we're gonna be dealing with .Marketing: Mm .Project Manager: I think the firstthing we should look at is um {vocalsound} probably the um what it is that it is actually supposed to be . So that's gonna be you Catherine ,Industrial Designer:Okay .Project Manager: if we wanna hear from you first .Industrial Designer: Okay . Um just connecting this .Project Manager: You don't have to worry aboutscrewing it in just {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Are we getting i Really ?Project Manager: there you go .Industrial Designer: Okay . Cool . Okay . So I've got avery quick uh {disfmarker} Uh . Okay .Marketing: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: So the working design , I've got a very quick presentation on this , so umI've {disfmarker} oh no , you can't see a thing . {vocalsound} Oh well , I'm gonna draw it on the board then . It's in blue uh , and I couldn't change it .UserInterface: Oh . {vocalsound}Project Manager: Ah .Industrial Designer: We it's fine on my screen , but never mind . So um {vocalsound} the idea is that we'vegot the energy source um , which in our case will pr , oh well {disfmarker} okay , never mind . So um I think maybe uh two batteries , I dunno what they'recalled {gap} six , or something like that .Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: Uh and then {vocalsound} um then on the uh remote control itself willhave um the sender for the signal , which could be uh an infra-red signal , um which will be sent by an electronic chip . And uh the chip will be controlled by theuser interface . So we'll hear about that later from Gabriel .Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: And uh the sender will send to the telly itself aninfra-red signal to tell it to switch on or switch channels . Um and that's it really for the working design .Project Manager: Great . Okay .Industrial Designer: Sorrythe presentation wasn't very uh clear but {disfmarker}Project Manager: I prefer the pe I prefer the human touch personally .Industrial Designer: Really ? Cool.Project Manager: Yeah .Industrial Designer: Um , should I erase this or {disfmarker}Project Manager: Do you wanna just give us a moment , I just wanna copythis down .Industrial Designer: Okay .Project Manager: Um I dunno if you guys have got any questions for Catherine on any of this ?Industrial Designer: Fine .{vocalsound} Or suggestions ?Marketing: Is a battery like the only way of {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Well , it's just , you don't want it plugged in really ,sUser Interface: Yeah , alternate energy source , like win wind power or {disfmarker}Project Manager: {vocalsound} Yeah , you blow on it and i{vocalsound}Industrial Designer: In indoors . {vocalsound}Marketing: No , no {disfmarker}User Interface: {vocalsound} Bicycle power .Marketing: No I meantlike {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: No 'cause like cha 'cause {disfmarker} always changing um um batteries can get like annoying.Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: The battery's down and {disfmarker} maybe {vocalsound} , I dunno , solar charged ? {vocalsound}IndustrialDesigner: I dunno , swi I th I th I think changing your batteries once every six months is not really a pain , but {disfmarker}Project Manager: Yeah , it's workedfor the last fifty years you know .Marketing: Mm . Yeah .User Interface: One question I have , and I don't know how much control we have over this is um , as faras the infra-red signal , do we have control over , you know , how far away you can be from the receiving unit , the the T_V_ , and still have it be operational ? Imean , maybe we want one with a strong signal stream .Project Manager: How far away is your television ?Industrial Designer: Yeah .Project Manager: It's nevergonna be more than it's never gonna be , you kno unless you've got a T_V_ the size of a football pitch , it's not {disfmarker} doesn't have to go that far ,UserInterface: Uh {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Well , the thing is uh you you don't {disfmarker}Project Manager: does it ? Doesn't have to go through a wall ,because you're not gonna be looking through a wall .User Interface: That's true .Marketing: Yeah , but if like you're on the phone in the other room and you needturn television off or something and you don't really want to go into the {disfmarker} put the telephone down , and go into the other room .{vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Well , we can make the the signal strong enough to go through walls if if you fancy it . I didn't think about that but{disfmarker}Marketing: How about Bluetooth ? {gap} Instead of using infra-red , use Bluetooth .Industrial Designer: Why not ? I just think that it's it's gonnacost moreMarketing: Isn't that a better signal ?Project Manager: Yeah , yeah I d it sounds like you {gap} you w don't wanna overcomplicate things .IndustrialDesigner: and I'm I'm not sure it's {disfmarker} you're gonna use it .Marketing: Mm {vocalsound} .Project Manager: You know we don't need it .IndustrialDesigner: It's a fancy idea uh it's quite nice , but then I don't th I dunno , either you {disfmarker} if you wanna watch the telly you're in the room ,ProjectManager: Yeah , exactly .Industrial Designer: you are gonna {disfmarker}Project Manager: Basically , we're we're desi we're designing and marketing a televisionremote control unit .Industrial Designer: But {disfmarker}Project Manager: We're not w w w w designing something that you can plug in a headset to and andyou know connect to your laptop computer and stuff . It's uh {disfmarker}Marketing: Mm .Industrial Designer: Oh , we can we can keep the idea if you i We cansee at a later stage , maybe , I don't {disfmarker}Marketing: 'S just an idea .Project Manager: Okay . Right , well done , Catherine . Um Gab Gabriel let's uh let'shear from you on on on such things .User Interface: Okay .Industrial Designer: Do you need the border ?User Interface: Uh I'm just gonna use the PowerPoint uh.Industrial Designer: Okay . {vocalsound} Sorry .User Interface: Technical {gap} . Okay .Marketing: {vocalsound} {vocalsound}User Interface: Okay , so , whilethis is warming up ,Marketing: Adjusting .User Interface: there it is uh .Marketing: Yeah .User Interface: So I'm doing the user interface design .Project Manager:Mm-hmm .User Interface: Yeah , and basically uh , as far as methods , I was I was looking looking at looking at uh already existing remotes , trying to find someinspiration from designs that are already out there . Thinking of what we can retain , what we can do away with , uh what we what we can perfect a little bit as faras design um . {gap} we don't want to do something that's too radical of a change , I guess , I mean people want a remote that's familiar , that has their"}

Yeah .Grad B: Yes , you 'vebested me again . That 's how I think of our continuing interaction . Damn ! Foiled again !Grad D: So is Keith showing up ? He 's talking with George right now .Uh , is he gonna get a rip {disfmarker} uh {disfmarker} rip himself away from {disfmarker} from that ?Grad B: He 'll probably come later .Professor C: What{disfmarker} He - he he 's probably not , is my guess .Grad D: Oh , then it 's just gonna be the five of us ?Professor C: Yeah .Grad E: Well , he {disfmarker} hewas very affirmative in his way of saying he will be here at four . But {pause} you know , that was before he knew about that George lecture probably .ProfessorC: Right . This {disfmarker} this is not {disfmarker} It 's not bad for the project if Keith is talking to George . OK . So my suggestion is we justGrad B: Forgeahead .Professor C: Forge ahead , yeah .Grad E: Cool .Grad B: Are you in charge ?Grad E: Sure . Um . Well , I sort of had informal talks with most of you . So ,Eva just reported she 's really happy about the {pause} CBT 's being in the same order in the XML as in the um {disfmarker} be Java declaration formatGrad F:Yeah . The eGrad E: so you don't have to do too much in the style sheet transversion .Grad F: Uh , yeah . Yeah , so .Grad E: The {disfmarker} uh , Java{disfmarker} the embedded Bayes {pause} wants to take input {disfmarker} uh , uh , a Bayes - net {disfmarker} in {disfmarker} in some Java notation and Evais using the Xalan style sheet processor to convert the XML that 's output by the Java Bayes for the {disfmarker} into the , uh , E Bayes input .Grad D: Mmm.Grad F: Actually , maybe I could try , like , emailing the guy and see if he has any something already .Professor C: Sure .Grad E: Hmm .Grad F: That 'd be weird, that he has both the Java Bayes and the embedded Bayes in {disfmarker}Grad D: But that 's some sort of conversion program ?Grad F: Yeah . Yeah . And putthem into different {pause} formats . Oh {disfmarker}Grad D: I think you should demand things from him .Grad F: Yep , he could do that , too .Professor C: Hecharges so much . Right .Grad D: Yeah .Professor C: No , I think it 's a good idea that you may as well ask . Sure .Grad F: Yeah .Grad E: And , um , well {pause}pretty mu pretty much on t on the top of my list , I would have asked Keith how the \" where is X ? \" {pause} hand parse is standing . Um . {pause} But we 'llskip that . Uh , there 's good news from Johno . The generation templates are done .Grad D: So the trees {pause} for {disfmarker} the XML trees for the{disfmarker} for the gene for the synthesizer are written . So I just need to {pause} do the , uh {disfmarker} write a new set of {pause} tree combining rules .But I think those 'll be pretty similar to the old ones . So . Just gonna be {disfmarker} you know {disfmarker}Professor C: Oh ! You were gonna send me a noteabout hiring {disfmarker}Grad E: Yes .Professor C: I didn't finish the sentence but he understood it .Grad D: I know what he 's talking about .Professor C: OK .But Nancy doesn't .Grad B: Hiring somebody .Grad E: We {disfmarker} w um {disfmarker}Grad D: The guy .Grad E: OK , so {pause} natural languagegeneration {pause} produces not a {disfmarker} just a surface string that is fed into a text - to - speech but , a {pause} surface string with a syntax tree that 'sfed into a concept - to - speech .Professor C: No .Grad B: Yeah . Mm - hmm . Better .Grad E: Now and this concept - to - speech module has {pause} certainrules on how {pause} if you get the following syntactic structure , how to map this onto prosodic rules .Grad B: Mm - hmm . Sure . Mm - hmm .Grad E: And Feyhas foolheartedly agreed to rewrite uh , the German concept uh syntax - to - prosody rules {disfmarker}Grad B: I didn't know she spoke German .Grad E: No ,she doesn't .Grad B: Oh , OK .Grad E: But she speaks English .Grad B: Oh . Rewrite the German ones into English . OK , got it .Grad E: Into English . And umtherefore {pause} the , uh {disfmarker} if it 's OK that we give her a couple of more hours per week , then {pause} she 'll do that .Grad B: OK , got it .Grad D:What {pause} language is that {pause} written i Is that that Scheme thing that you showed me ?Grad E: Yeah . That 's the LISP - type scheme .Grad D: Sheknows how to program in Scheme ? I hope ?Grad E: No , I {disfmarker} My guess is {disfmarker} I {disfmarker} I asked for a commented version of that file ? Ifwe get that , then it 's {pause} doable , even without getting into it , even though the Scheme li uh , stuff is really well documented in the {pause} Festival .GradD: Well , I guess if you 're not used to functional programming , Scheme can be completely incomprehensible . Cuz , there 's no {disfmarker} Like {pause} there's lots of unnamed functionsProfessor C: Syntax . Yeah .Grad D: and {disfmarker}Grad B: Mm - hmm .Grad D: You know ?Professor C: Anyway , it {disfmarker}We 'll sort this out . Um . But anyway , send me the note and then I 'll - I 'll check with , uh , Morgan on the money . I {disfmarker} I don't anticipate anyproblem but we have to {pause} ask . Oh , so this was {disfmarker} {nonvocalsound} You know , on the generation thing , um if {comment} sh y she 's reallygoing to do that , then we should be able to get prosody as well . So it 'll say it 's nonsense with perfect intonation .Grad D: Are we gonna {disfmarker} Can wechange the voice of the {disfmarker} of the thing , because right now the voice sounds like a murderer .Grad E: Yep . We ha we have to change the voice .GradB: Wh - Which one ?Grad D: The {disfmarker} the little Smarticus {disfmarker} Smarticus sounds like a murderer .Grad B: Oh .Grad A: That 's good to know.Grad D: \" I have your reservations . \"Grad A: But I will not give them to you unless you come into my lair .Grad E: It is {disfmarker} Uh , we have the choicebetween the , uh , usual Festival voices , which I already told the SmartKom people we aren't gonna use because they 're really bad .Grad B: Festival ?ProfessorC: It 's the name of some program ,Grad B: Oh , oh . Got it . OK .Professor C: the {disfmarker} the synthesizer .Grad A: You know , the usual party voices .GradE: But , umGrad B: Yeah , I know . That doesn't sound , {vocalsound} exactly right either .Grad E: OGI has , uh , crafted a couple of diphone type voices that arereally nice and we 're going to use {pause} that . We can still , um , d agree on a gender , if we want . So we still have male or female .Grad B: I think{disfmarker} Well , let 's just pick whatever sounds best .Grad E: Hmm ?Grad B: Whatever sounds best .Grad E: Uh .Grad B: Unfortunately , probably malevoices , a bit more research on .Grad D: Does OGI stand for {disfmarker} ? {comment} Original German Institute ?Professor C: OregoGrad B: So .Professor C:OrGrad E: Oregon .Grad B: Oregon Graduate InstiProfessor C: Oregon @ @ {comment} Graduate InstituteGrad D: Oh .Grad E: Try Oregon .Grad D: Ah.Professor C: It turns out there 's the long - standing links with these guys in the speech group .Grad B: Hmm !Professor C: Very long .Grad D: Hmm !Grad E:Hmm .Professor C: In fact , there 's this guy who 's basically got a joint appointment , Hynek {pause} Hermansky . He 's - spends a fair amount of time here .Anyway . Leave it . Won't be a problem .Grad E: OK . And it 's probably also absolutely uninteresting for all of you to , um learn that as of twenty minutes ago ,David and I , per accident , uh managed to get the whole SmartKom system running on the {disfmarker} uh , ICSI Linux machines with the ICSI NT machinesthereby increasing the number of running SmartKom systems in this house from {pause} one on my laptop to three .Grad B: Mmm , that 's good .Grad D: Howwas this by accident ?Grad B: Yeah , I know . Tha - that 's the part I didn't understand .Grad E: Um , I suggested to try something that was really kind of{disfmarker} even though against better knowledge shouldn't have worked , but it worked .Grad B: Hmm !Grad E: Intuition .Grad A: Yeah .Grad B: Will it workagain ,Grad E: Maybe {disfmarker} maybe {disfmarker} maybe a bit for the AI i intuition thing .Grad B: or {disfmarker} ?Grad D: Yeah .Grad E: OK . And , um ,we 'll never found out why . It - it 's just like why {disfmarker} why the generation ma the presentation manager is now working ?Grad A: Hmm ! This issomething you ha you get used to as a programmer , right ?Grad E: WhichGrad A: You know , {comment} and it 's cool , it works out that way .Grad E: Hmm .So , {vocalsound} the {disfmarker} the people at Saarbruecken and I decided not to touch it ever again . Yeah , that would work . OK . Um {disfmarker} I wasgonna ask you where something is and what we know about that .Grad A: Where {disfmarker} OK .Grad B: Where the \" where is \" construction is .Grad A: What{disfmarker} what thing is this ?Grad E: Where is X ?Grad A: OK .Grad E: Oh , but by {disfmarker} Uh , we can ask , uh , did you get to read all four hundredwords ?Professor C: I did .Grad E: Was it OK ? Was it ?Professor C: Yeah .Grad D: I {disfmarker} I wa I was looking at it . It doesn't follow logically . It doesn't{disfmarker} The first paragraph doesn't seem to have any link to the second paragraph .Grad A: And so on .Professor C: Yeah .Grad D: Yeah .Grad E: Hmm .That {disfmarker}Professor C: You know , i Yeah , it {disfmarker}Grad D: Each paragraph is good , though . I liProfessor C: I i Yeah . Well , it it 's fine .Grad A: Itwas written by committee .Professor C: Anyway . Um . But c the meeting looks like it 's , it 's gonna be good . So . I think it 's uh {disfmarker}Grad E: Yeah .GradB: Yeah , I didn't know about it until {pause} Robert told me , like , Professor C: Yeah , I {disfmarker} I ra I ran across it in {disfmarker} I don't even knowwhere , you know {disfmarker} some just {disfmarker} some weird place . And , uh , yeah , I I 'm surprised I didn't know about itGrad B: Y yeah . Well , yeah . Iwas like , why didn't Dan tell me ?Professor C: since we know all the invited speakers , anGrad A: Right .Professor C: Right , or some Anyway . So {disfmarker}But anyway , yeah . I so I {disfmarker} I did see that . Oh wha Yeah . Before we get started on this st so I also had a nice email correspondence with Daphne"}

What I found in order of importance from less to moreimportant is that people want an easy to use device .

Mm-hmm.Marketing: So we shouldn't be at re really attached to to the trendUser Interface: So something that looks half like a fruit and half like an elephant .{vocalsound}Marketing: but {disfmarker} For instance , yeah . African or as an elephant ?Industrial Designer: That we can discuss afterwards {vocalsound}.Project Manager: {vocalsound} Okay .User Interface: But {disfmarker} okay ,Marketing: {vocalsound}User Interface: I'm not , I'm not really sure if uh thatwould really appeal to everyone though , maybe just to fashion gurus , like maybe just like a little bit n a little fruit picture somewhere in the corner , but I don'tknow about uh I dunno how ergonomic a , an orange is .Marketing: Well ma maybe we we should further specify what target are we focusing . I think in myopinion we should focus on on young people because they are more open to new devi new devicesUser Interface: To fruit ?Marketing: and also yeah according tothe marketing report ninety p ninety five percent of young people was {vocalsound} was was able to to buy a a n a cooler remote control .User Interface: But is ituh is fruit cool ?Marketing: What ?Project Manager: That's a question .Marketing: What ?User Interface: Is fruit cool ?Marketing: Yeah ? Uh {disfmarker} Is thenew trend of the {disfmarker}User Interface: Well I guess , you know , Apple has the iPod so , {vocalsound} imagi {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}UserInterface: just 'cause they have an apple on their on their product , doesn't mean fruit is cool . {vocalsound}Marketing: No I think we we should think about a ashape with it {disfmarker} a device with a shape of some {disfmarker}User Interface: Okay , but it has to be easy to uh to use though and to hold you know ,you don't wanna pear or a watermelon . {vocalsound}Marketing: Yeah . Don don't you think we can find uh the shape of a fruit which is handy to use ?UserInterface: Well , probably the only thing is a banana that I can think of ,Industrial Designer: Banana .User Interface: a cucumber .Industrial Designer: Mm-hmm.Project Manager: Maybe too long .User Interface: I dunno .Marketing: Or mUser Interface: Maybe . Too green .Marketing: Maybe . {vocalsound}ProjectManager: {vocalsound}User Interface: So , but I mean you also have to {disfmarker} you have to also have , fit r all the buttons and {disfmarker} you know.Project Manager: A banana .Marketing: Um {disfmarker}User Interface: It's , it {disfmarker}Marketing: Yeah .User Interface: The thing is you have t normallywith um with buttons , they have to be at some point attached to a circuit board so if you're gonna have things like {gap} on a cylindrical kind of device it may bedifficult to kind of to build .Project Manager: {vocalsound} {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: I don't th it will be rolling a lot .Marketing: Yeah but I li I like youridea that we shouldn't have a lot of buttons b buttons soProject Manager: Okay . Yeah and you you you will not have pla enough {disfmarker} a lot of place to puta L_C_D_ on a banana also .User Interface: Yeah .Marketing: Uh do you want a an L_C_D_ with twenty five Euros ? {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound}Well , you're the Marketing Expert you should tell us if it is too much or not .User Interface: Well , this is {disfmarker}Marketing: I think {disfmarker} Well ,according to the to the report people are more interested in in a fa fancy look and feel and in a technological inno in innovation ,Project Manager:{vocalsound}Marketing: so , I will give more importance to the look and feel than {disfmarker} rather than theProject Manager: {vocalsound} So {disfmarker}So you you you suggest to go fMarketing: new inputs and also it's {disfmarker} I'm not convinced about this L_C_D_ because you need uh internet connection ,you need more things , it's not just buying a new control re remote , you need {disfmarker} buying control remote , buying uhProject Manager: Okay .{vocalsound} S so you're simplyMarketing: more things . It's not so simple .Project Manager: you're simply looking s to a remote control that looks like a bananawith few buttons {disfmarker} with only a few buttons .Marketing: For instance , yeah . Yeah for for for {disfmarker} given an an example yeah .{vocalsound}Project Manager: Okay good . So maybe you can go ahead ?Marketing: Yeah no , it's what I already said .Project Manager: Okay . {vocalsound}Thanks . Um . Okay , I'll give the floor . So you are User Interface guy . So you're three ?User Interface: Okay . Yeah .Project Manager: And it's this one .UserInterface: Yep .Project Manager: Go for it .User Interface: {vocalsound} Yep . Okay . So . S next uh slide . Okay . So I received an email um around lunchtimeletting me know that the brilliant minds at our technology division had developed an integrated programmable sample sensor sample speaker unit , um which is away for you to have a conversation with your coffee machine and or remote control {vocalsound} .Industrial Designer: But it's just a speaker right ?UserInterface: It's {disfmarker} no , what it is , it's it's very {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: It's not a microphone .User Interface: It has a has a microphone , has a"}
+{"doc_id":"doc_40","qid":"","text":"Project Manager: So we are here to talk about functional design . Now hopefully we've all got a better idea from {vocalsound} {disfmarker} than we did f leavingthe last meeting as to what it is we are up to now . So here's an agenda . Uh I'll open . Um you should know that I'll be taking minutes during all the meetings ,as I was struggling to our last time uh and that'll be easier for me now because I'm not actually giving the whole presentation . Uh the additional points are justthe stuff that we sent and that I forwarded on from upper management having a few bright ideas to make our lives painful .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}{vocalsound}Project Manager: Um {vocalsound} now {vocalsound} you can all give your presentations . We can talk about the requirements and hopefully cometo some decisions . {vocalsound} Right , forty minutes for this meeting , so a bit more time than the last one . Here's the additional points I just wanted to putthose in there to see if you guys had any comments on them . Uh did you all receive that email ?User Interface: Yep .Marketing: Yeah .Project Manager: So doesanyone have any overall {gap}Marketing: Well {vocalsound} uh what comes up for me is that if we're gonna if we're gonna be marketing a product that is goingto be uh having {vocalsound} no teletext , people are very comfortable {vocalsound} with {vocalsound} the idea of having teletext and using teletext , and sowe're not {disfmarker} we're gonna be a new product without something that people are very comfortable having right now .Project Manager: Mm . Mm . Yep.Marketing: So that's , from a marketing perspective I I see I see a lack .Project Manager: Mm .Marketing: And so we have to go , I think , in the other direction .What are we gonna have that makes this thing better than {disfmarker}Project Manager: Well tha that first point could uh also be an op opportunity because inseeing that teletext is becoming outdated , some sort remote control that can work with the Internet {disfmarker} {vocalsound} there is the opportunity that'spresented , I guess .Marketing: {vocalsound} Right . Yeah . No , I I agree with you .Project Manager: Okay .Marketing: So what I'm talking about is I see thatone side we're eliminating something so we have to come up with another side which is , what are we gonna be targeting our market uh that {vocalsound}identifies our product as better than {disfmarker} because it doesn't have teletext it has ta-ta-ta-ta-ta .Project Manager: Okay .Marketing: So that's that's thatwas my reactions .Project Manager: Yeah . but but we are sort of being dictated that this should only be for the television .Marketing: Yeah yeah .ProjectManager: So we're quite fixed . So we're really probably , in terms of marketing , are looking for that's uh that's a cost winner rather than a fantastic new featureproduct .Marketing: Yep .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Yeah bu but we we're designing only the remote ,Project Manager: Yeah .Marketing: Okay .IndustrialDesigner: we not design the T_V_ .Project Manager: Hmm .Industrial Designer: So uh we're gonna be removing the teletext out of any T_V_ that we{disfmarker} people use our remote with .Marketing: Yeah . 'Kay .Project Manager: Hmm .Marketing: That's right .Industrial Designer: So it's kind of a stupiddecision .Marketing: I think we take with you .Project Manager: But there's also the potential for mark there's a market here for our lost teletext .User Interface:Right .Project Manager: For example someone that just goes to the shop that wants a replacement {disfmarker} wants it as {vocalsound} cheap as possible .Twenty-five Euros is the selling price , we really have to innovate here I guess .Marketing: That's what I'm that's what I'm talking about is is that we have to findsomething that is gonna be very attractive about this product 'cause somebody , some people are gonna be hap unhappy 'cause it took {disfmarker} they can'tac access their teletext .Project Manager: Mm .Marketing: Okay . 'Cause we're talking about {vocalsound} eighty percent or ninety percent or ninety-five percentof the televisions out there are are teletext .Project Manager: K yeah .Marketing: So so it's it's not that I'm criticizing the product at all . It's just when weeliminate that then what do we bring ? What are we bringing in to take the place of this ,Project Manager: Mm 'kay .Marketing: and we have to d {disfmarker} inmy opinion we have to double up .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: If we lose one we need to bring two or three .Project Manager: Okay . Okay Ithink that the {vocalsound} last point is probably quite uh straightforward . Obviously the the {disfmarker} w it has to be branded . 'Kay .Industrial Designer: Sothen the double R_ will be our our {disfmarker}Project Manager: On the product yeah . Can you handle that black and yellow ?User Interface: I think one of{disfmarker}Industrial Designer: I tho I tho I thou I think Rol Ro Rolls-Royce might mind , but don't worry .User Interface: I think w , yeah , one of the thingsthat we should also keep in mind um when we're doing this {disfmarker} I mean our company's slogan is we put the fashion in electronics , right . So I think ourkind of {disfmarker} our target here is to {vocalsound} have some kind of very like sleek {vocalsound} nice look remote and we want it to be functional as well ,but I think one of the main selling points is that we don't want it to be clunky like like this thing here .Project Manager: Mm .User Interface: You know we don'twanna a big clunker . We want something that looks nice and it's fashionable and so {disfmarker}Marketing: So you have this ?Project Manager: Nah . So wehave three presentations , and I think we'll go in order of participant number here . So we can have a look at the working design first from participant two . That's{disfmarker} {gap} Okay .Industrial Designer: Yes .User Interface: That's fine . Okay soProject Manager: Mm it's enough . But uh click it on off ?User Interface:so you all know me , I'm the Industrial Designer . And we've some basic components that um our remote is gonna need , just basically every remote'll need 'em.Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface: We need some kinda of power d power source . Um we have to decide on our our user interface , which is hisdepartment , but the in user interface is also a major component . Um we need a programmable digital signal processor to um to take the input from the user andtranslate that into uh into electronic signal , which we pass to the infra-red L_E_D_ , which you aim at the television uh which {disfmarker} and it receives thatsignal . You need a on-off switch um I don't know how that got in there . And uh we also need to um have the {vocalsound} {disfmarker} if we want a universalremote we need to have encryption codes for the different makes of T_V_s . So we need to know all the different you know all the different signals and so that'llrequire some memory as well . Um so here's just a basic layout of how how the remote would work . You ha the v the power source is in the upper right-handcorner there , and you can see that uh we have the user interface here which is connected to the chip which does all our signal processing , and then passes thatsignal on to the infra-red L_E_D_ and that signal is then emitted and received by the television at the photo-transistor . So {vocalsound} those are the basiccomponents that need to go into this and everything else is pretty much uh open to move around .Marketing: Now is {disfmarker} would this be {vocalsound}considered just a standard uh um {disfmarker}User Interface: I think any desMarketing: This is not this is not cutting edge technology we're talking here .UserInterface: No .Marketing: We're talking about existing technology .User Interface: Right I think {disfmarker}Marketing: Nothing is being modified or upgraded ornew discoveries .User Interface: Yeah this is just {disfmarker} this is just a basic layout of ev {vocalsound} of all the components that w w are gonna beabsolutely necessary f to have a working remote . We can add things in like if we wanted some voice recognition , I mean that {vocalsound} I mean{vocalsound} that you can kinda say would {vocalsound} would fall under the user interface and the digital signal processing chip .Marketing: Okay . Okay.Project Manager: Do we have an idea of costs of different components ?User Interface: Um well the most the most costly components are gonna be the chip andthe uh th it could als basically the user interface and the casing are gonna be expensive as well .Project Manager: 'Kay .User Interface: Um the L_E_D_ and thethe transistors and everything else are you know they're they're pretty cheap . So depending on what we want our functionality to be , um the chip could beexpensive or it could be cheap .Project Manager: Mm 'kay .User Interface: Um depending on the n amount of memory we need in there and stuff like that and hand h {vocalsound} you know how much power .Project Manager: Do we have any ballpark figures for that yet ? No .User Interface: Uh I don't have any figuresright now .Project Manager: 'Kay .User Interface: We uh we have to wait until we get to a more specific design phase for that .Project Manager: Yeah .UserInterface: Um but {disfmarker} and I think a significant part of the cost could be the actual the actual casing itself and and you know the the b the buttons andthings like that , I think .Marketing: N okay . Mm . Mm the shell ?User Interface: Yeah . Basically yeah .Marketing: Okay .Project Manager: Okay .User Interface:So yeah . That's all I have really .Project Manager: Okay . Thanks . And we have participant three , which I believe is Pedro .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} I{disfmarker}Project Manager: I can give you that to click on .Industrial Designer: Hey mouse .Marketing: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Open .{vocalsound}Project Manager: And you wanna get {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: When we're fighting over it's also more {disfmarker} lot more fun .{vocalsound}Project Manager: View a slide show , that's what you wanna do , yeah ? Just go up to view .User Interface: Click , don't {disfmarker} Yeah.Industrial Designer: Uh .Project Manager: Mm 'kayIndustrial Designer: This doesn't work . {vocalsound} So yeah function design . Um you guys know me , Pedro, and um what I found is we want to do fashion and I think , honestly , we should keep technology low and just simple basically and try to aim for design . Ifbasically a case will will cost the same if it looks good or bad so we ma we have to make it look good . Um something cute and small . The big chunky remotes aredied in the eighties . So we should just go for something that people will like to actually look at .Project Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: And umalthough mo most people will buy s televisions and everything for uh {disfmarker} that have loads of loads of little functions and everything and they mostly endup using simple functions and little things and most the people won't won't get too mad of actually having to go the {disfmarker} to the s to the television to , forinstance , tune in their {disfmarker} the stations . There's no need to have that in the remote . So um um as for what I would recommend for uh the the interfacedesign , and uh I will change the colours on the on the logo , but {vocalsound} um we should go for the user-oriented device , so simple controls and good"}

I woke up twenty minutes ago , thinking , what did I forget ?Grad D: It 'sgreat how the br brain sort of does that .Grad E: Something 's not right here .Grad B: Internal alarms .Grad D: OK . So the news for me is A , my forthcomingtravel plansGrad B: Yes .Grad D: in two weeks from today ? Yeah ? More or less ? I 'll be off to Sicily and Germany for a couple , three days .Grad B: Now whatare y what are you doing there ? I forgot ?Grad D: OK , I 'm flying to Sicily basically to drop off Simon there with his grandparents . And then I 'm flying toGermany t to go to a MOKU - Treffen which is the meeting of all the module - responsible people in SmartKom ,Grad B: Mmm .Grad D: and , represent ICI andmyself I guess there . And um . That 's the mmm actual reason . And then I 'm also going up to EML for a day , and then I 'm going to {vocalsound} meet thevery big boss , Wolfgang Walster , in Saarbruecken and the System system integration people in Kaiserslautern and then I 'm flying back via Sicily pick up my soncome back here on the fourth of July . And uh .Grad E: What a great time to be coming back to theGrad B: God bless America .Grad E: You 'll see maybe{disfmarker} see the fireworks from your plane coming in .Grad D: And I 'm sure all the {disfmarker} the people at the airport will be happy to work on that day.Grad E: Yeah . You 'll get even better service than usual .Grad B: Wait , aren't you flying on Lufthansa though ?Grad D: Mm - hmm . Alitalia .Grad B: Oh . Wellthen the {disfmarker} you know , it 's not a big deal . Once you get to the United States it 'll be a problem , butGrad D: Yeah . And um , that 's that bit of news ,and the other bit of news is we had {disfmarker} you know , uh , I was visited by my German project manager who A , did like what we did {disfmarker} whatwe 're doing here , and B , is planning to come here either three weeks in July or three weeks in August , to actually work .Grad B: On {disfmarker} ?Grad D:With us .Grad B: Oh .Grad D: And we sat around and we talked and he came up {disfmarker} we came up {disfmarker} with a pretty strange idea . And that 'swhat I 'm gonna lay on you now . And um , maybe it might be ultimately the most interesting thing for Eva because she has been known to complain about thefact that the stuff we do here is not weird enough .Grad C: OK .Grad D: So this is so weird it should even make you happy .Grad C: Uh . {comment} OK .Grad E:Oh great .Grad D: Imagine if you will , {vocalsound} that we have a system that does all that understanding that we want it to do based on utterances .Grad B:Mm - hmm .Grad D: It should be possible to make that system produce questions . So if you have the knowledge of how to interpret \" where is X ? \" under givenconditions , situational , user , discourse and ontological {vocalsound} conditions , you should also be able to make that same system ask \" where is X ? \"Grad E:Mm - hmm .Grad D: in a sper certain way , based on certain intentions . So in instead of just being able to observe phenomenon , um , and , guess the intentionwe might be able just to sort of give it an intention , and make it produce an utterance .Grad E: Hmm .Grad B: Well , like in AI they generally do the take in , andthen they also do the generation phase , like Nancy 's thing . Or uh , you remember , in the {disfmarker} the hand thing in one - eighty - two , like not only was itable to recognize but it was also to generate based upon situations . You mean that sort of thing ?Grad D: Absolutely .Grad B: OK .Grad D: And once you 've donethat what we can do is have the system ask itself . And answer , understand the answer , ask something else , and enter a dialogue with itself . So the{disfmarker} the ba basic {disfmarker} the same idea as having two chess computers play against each other .Grad E: Except this smacks a little bit more of aschizophrenic computer than AI .Grad D: Yeah you c if you want , you can have two parallel {vocalsound} machines um , asking each other . What would thatgive us ? Would A be something completely weird and strange , and B , i if you look at all the factors , we will never observe people let 's say , in wheelchairsunder {disfmarker} you know , in {disfmarker} under all conditions ,Grad E: That 's good .Grad D: you know , when they say \" X \" , and there is a ride at thegoal , and the parking is good , we can never collect enough data . It 's {disfmarker} it 's {disfmarker} it 's not possible .Grad E: Mm - hmm . Right , right .GradD: But maybe one could do some learning . If you get the system to speak to itself , you may find n break downs and errors and you may be able to learn . Andmake it more robust , maybe learn new things . And um , so there 's no {disfmarker} no end of potential things one could get out of it , if that works . And hewould like to actually work on that with us .Grad B: Well then , he probably should be coming back a year {pause} from now .Grad D: So Yeah , I w See the{disfmarker} the generation bit , making the system generate {disfmarker} generate something , {comment} is {disfmarker} shouldn't be too hard .Grad B:Well , once the system understands things .Grad E: Yeah . No problem .Grad B: I just don't think {disfmarker} I think we 're probably a year away from gettingthe system to understand things .Grad D: Yeah . Well , if we can get it to understand one thing , like our \" where is \" run through we can also , maybe , e make itsay , or ask \" where is X ? \" Or not .Grad E: Mmm , I don't know . e I 'm sort of {disfmarker} have the impression that getting it to say the right thing in the rightcircumstances is much more difficult than getting it to understand something given the circumstances and so on , you know , I mean just cuz it 's sort of harderto learn to speak correctly in a foreign language , rather than learning to understand it . Right ? I meanGrad D: Grad E: just the fact that we 'll get {disfmarker}The point is that getting it to understand one construction doesn't mean that it will n always know exactly when it 's correct to use that construction . Right ?GradD: It 's {disfmarker} it 's uh {disfmarker} Well , I 've {disfmarker} I 've done generation and language production research for fo four {disfmarker} four and ahalf years . And so it 's {disfmarker} it 's {disfmarker} you 're right , it 's not the same as the understanding . It 's in some ways easier and some ways harder .nuh ?Grad E: Yeah .Grad D: But , um , I think it 'd be fun to look at it , or into that question .Grad E: Nnn , yeah .Grad D: It 's a pretty strange idea . And so that's {disfmarker} that 's {disfmarker} But {disfmarker}Grad B: The basic idea I guess would be to give {disfmarker} allow the system to have intentions , basically? Cuz that 's basically what needs to be added to the system for it .Grad D: Well , look at th eee , I think even {disfmarker} think even {disfmarker} What it{disfmarker} would be the {disfmarker} the prior intention . So let 's uh {disfmarker} uh , let 's say we have this {disfmarker}Grad B: Well we 'd have to seedthat , I mean .Grad D: No . Let 's {disfmarker} we have to {disfmarker} we have some {disfmarker} some top - down processing , given certain setting . OK ,now we change nothing , and just say ask something . Right ?Grad B: Grad D: What would it ask ?Grad B: It wouldn't know what to ask . I mean .Grad D: ItshurGrad B: Unless it was in a situation . We 'd have to set up a situation where , it didn't know where something was and it wanted to go there .Grad D: Yeah!Grad C: Mm - hmm .Grad D: Yeah .Grad B: Which means that we 'd need to set up an intention inside of the system . Right ? Which is basically , \" I don't knowwhere something is and I need to go there \" .Grad D: Eh , nGrad E: Yeah .Grad D: Ooh , do we really need to do that ? Because ,Grad B: Well , no I guess not .ExcelGrad D: s It 's {disfmarker} i I know it 's {disfmarker} it 's strange , but look at it {disfmarker} look at our Bayes - net . If we don't have {disfmarker} Let's assume we don't have any input from the language . Right ? So there 's also nothing we could query the ontology , but we have a certain user setting . If youjust ask , what is the likelihood of that person wanting to enter some {disfmarker} something , it 'll give you an answer .Grad B: Sure .Grad D: Right ? That 'sjust how they are . And so , @ @ whatever that is , it 's the generic default intention . That it would find out . Which is , wanting to know where something is ,maybe nnn {disfmarker} and wanting {disfmarker} I don't know what it 's gonna be , but there 's gonna be something thatGrad E: Well you 're not gonna{disfmarker} are you gonna get a variety of intentions out of that then ? I mean , you 're just talking about like given this user , what 's the th what is it{disfmarker} what is that user most likely to want to do ?Grad D: Well you can observe some user and context stuff and ask , what 's the posterior probabilitiesof all of our decision nodes .Grad E: And , have it talk about {disfmarker} OK .Grad D: You could even say , \" let 's take all the priors , let 's observe nothing \" ,and query all the posterior probabilities . It - it 's gonna tell us something . Right ?Grad B: Well , it will d r assign values to all the nodes . Yes .Grad D: And{disfmarker} Yes . And come up with posterior probabilities for all the values of the decision nodes . Which , if we have an algorithm that filters out whatever the{disfmarker} the best or the most consistent answer out of that , will give us the intention ex nihilo . And that is exactly what would happen if we ask it toproduce an utterance , it would be b based on that extension , ex nihilo , which we don't know what it is , but it 's there . So we wouldn't even have to{disfmarker} t to kick start it by giving it a certain intention or observing anything on the decision node . And whatever that {disfmarker} maybe that would leadto \" what is the castle ? \" ,Grad B: I 'm just {disfmarker}Grad D: or \" what is that whatever \" .Grad B: I guess what I 'm afraid of is if we don't , you know , set upa {pause} situation , {comment} we 'll just get a bunch of garbage out , like you know , everything 's exactly thirty percent .Grad D: No {disfmarker}Grad C:Mmm .Grad D: Yeah . So what we actually then need to do is {disfmarker} is write a little script that changes all the settings , you know , go goes through all thepermutations , which is {disfmarker} we did a {disfmarker} didn't we calculate that once ?Grad B: Well that was {disfmarker} that was absurdly low , in the lastmeeting ,Grad D: It 's a {disfmarker}Grad C: Uh ,Grad B: cuz I went and looked at it cuz I was thinking , that could not be right , and it would {disfmarker} itwas on the order of twenty output nodes and something like twenty {disfmarker}Grad C: And like thirty input nodesGrad B: thirty input nodes .Grad C: or some{disfmarker}Grad B: So to test every output node , uh , would at least {disfmarker} Let 's see , so it would be two to the thirty for every output node ? Which isvery th very large .Grad D: Oh ! That 's nGrad E: Oh .Grad D: that 's {disfmarker} that 's nothing for those neural guys . I mean , they train for millions andmillions of epochs .Grad B: Well , I 'm talking aboutGrad D: So .Grad B: Oh , I was gonna take a drink of my water . I 'm talking about billions and billions andbillions and a number {disfmarker} two to the thirty is like a Bhaskara said , we had calculated out and Bhaskara believes that it 's larger than the number of"}

Um {disfmarker}User Interface: That's pretty shocking uh .{vocalsound}Project Manager: So we have to s we have to do something about that .Marketing: Yeah , and {disfmarker} yeah , most th th they want to spendmoney for a better system , for better remote control , so we can do uh a l a little uh nice things with it , and um they use {disfmarker} yeah , they use zap a lot ,um uh fifty percent say they only {disfmarker} So that's the most important things .Project Manager: Okay .Marketing: Um {disfmarker} oh yeah , not all of it isit on mine on my PowerPoint presentation ,Project Manager: Okay , just talk ahead .Marketing: but um uh the relevant buttons are the power , the channelselection and the volume selection .Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Marketing: It's uh the most basic buttons that a user wants uh {vocalsound} to use . Uh lessimportant is tel teletext ,Project Manager: Mm-hmm . {vocalsound}Marketing: uh um they use it , but it's not uh very uh important uh on the scale of zero to tenthey six and a half uhProject Manager: Okay , that's okay .User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: and {disfmarker} but not important is the channel selection ,the the {vocalsound} {disfmarker} hmm ?Project Manager: That's a little weird .Marketing: Oh , {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound} Which channelselection ?Marketing: the the {disfmarker} no no no no no , that's very important , but uh w and not important in the audio settings , display settingsProjectManager: Okay ,Marketing: and uh {disfmarker}Project Manager: we can we can hide those under a menu or something ,User Interface: Oh , okay .Marketing:Yeah .Project Manager: okay .Marketing: {vocalsound} Um new preferences preferences . Uh um um beep to find your control , was {disfmarker}ProjectManager: That's like a button on your T_V_ ?Marketing: that was {gap} in the test , the the most people uh f find it uh irritating uh when they cannot find a remtheir remote control ,Project Manager: Remote , okay .Industrial Designer: Mm .Marketing: so uh I think it's a bee beep to sound it and uh you can find it . Andanother thing uh they want was uh speech recognition um so they can say uh what they want to {disfmarker} let's go to channel one and uh that's uh kind ofthings .Project Manager: Okay .Marketing: And they want maybe an uh L_C_D_ screen um to to look it um wh what's on every channel uh and uh what do I wantwith it ?User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: We wanna have a little preview on the remote control . Preview what's on the channel .Marketing:{vocalsound} Yeah .Project Manager: Okay .User Interface: Is that manageable ? 'Cause it sounds pretty expensive too .Project Manager: That sounds too{disfmarker}Marketing: Yeah .Project Manager: It's possible , but uh I think it's expensive , but do continue .User Interface: Okay .Marketing: Yeah . Um{disfmarker} Uh my personal preferences is uh a button for my favourite channel , so I can uh I dunno , so I can zap to my uh f uh quick uh to my favouritechannel wh what I uh {disfmarker} so , the remote mu must see or um must um {vocalsound} see wha what mine preferences are for which channel ,ProjectManager: Okay , you don't set it yourself ,Marketing: so I can zap t to {disfmarker}Project Manager: it just remembers the channel that you are on most , forexample .Marketing: What ?Project Manager: You want the {disfmarker} you want it to be programmed , for example y programmed fMarketing: Yeah .ProjectManager: or you want it to recognise your favourite channel ?Marketing: Yeah .Project Manager: Let's see , you you spend twenty minutes each day on thatchannel ,Marketing: Recognise {disfmarker}Project Manager: so it recognises your favourite channel .Marketing: Yeah . Yeah , that's uh what my personalpreference like .Project Manager: Okay , so it's it it does {disfmarker} it recognise itself , you don't have to set it {disfmarker}Marketing: No ,Project Manager:Okay .Marketing: itself . Maybe it's easier to {vocalsound} to sell it , but {disfmarker}Project Manager: Okay .Marketing: I don't know it's manageable , but wewill uh we will see .Project Manager: I see .Marketing: Yeah , it's a little bit uh it's the end of it .Project Manager: Okay .Marketing: It's a little bit uh I lost it ,UserInterface: Okay .Marketing: the computer uh crashed ,Project Manager: {vocalsound} No problem , it's it's okay ,Marketing: so .Project Manager: that's{disfmarker} Yeah , go ahead .User Interface: Shall I go ? Okay .Marketing: Yeah .User Interface: So , some technical functions .Marketing: Darn computer .UserInterface: Basically I have some issues which you discussed earlier . Uh let's just start with the method .Marketing: Yeah .User Interface: {vocalsound} It soundsreally easy , what does the user do , what does the th remote control do , but there are quite some issues . So the things I'm going to concentrate on are the useraspect , because the technical aspect , that's pretty much covered . We can do that . What goes wrong {vocalsound} at the user . Gets the remote control .Where is the remote control ? We've all had it once , I want to watch some television ,Marketing: Yeah .User Interface: where's the remote control ? That was oneof your ideas which you posted in the network folder ,Marketing: Yeah .Project Manager: That seems very good .User Interface: a really good idea . Uh these arejust the issues . I come to some uh personal experience , findings , possible solutions later . Searches for the button . There are many buttons on a remotecontrol which are not clear . Uh so either we lose those or we try to make it a little bit more clear .Project Manager: Mm-hmm .User Interface: Uh also symbolstend to fade after a while .Marketing: Mm uh .User Interface: There's nothing more annoying than faded symbols , because you don't know which channel is thisbutton , so possibly we could find uh something for that ,Project Manager: Okay , so have it more {disfmarker} make it more durable actually . Okay .UserInterface: yes . Uh covered that . Oh yes , user presses the button . Um usually when you have a lot of buttons , buttons are small . So you press more onceremote control goes kablouey or something like that ,Project Manager: Okay , so the buttons should be {disfmarker}User Interface: so we have to pay attentionnot to put too mun too many buttons on uh the remote control . {vocalsound}Project Manager: Mm-hmm . Yeah .User Interface: And possibly also the size , somore important buttons , biggerProject Manager: Wow . The s Yeah . Make it {disfmarker} make them bigger .User Interface: siProject Manager: Even moredurable uh .User Interface: So this is basically what I h had in mind in the {disfmarker} fade-proof symbols , locator , a sound , uh so clear we should stick toexisting symbols , but maybe we could do a little uh investigation to see whether some symbols are uh {disfmarker} need to be replaced by others . Uh{disfmarker}Project Manager: Okay .User Interface: This I pretty much covered . {vocalsound} So what we want to go to is not this one ,Project Manager: Yeah ,it's true .User Interface: but more {disfmarker} less buttons , easy , some bigger buttons .Marketing: Yeah .User Interface: that's basically uh what I had in mind. SoProject Manager: Yeah , that's clear .User Interface: This is not the final design ,Project Manager: No , of course uh {disfmarker}User Interface: this is just ageneral idea of how I'd like to see uh basically the general idea .Project Manager: Yeah . I must say that it {disfmarker} Hmm .User Interface: {vocalsound} Sothat was it .Project Manager: That was it . Okay , that was good . So we agree on the the part that we need to get something on the on the remote to find itsomewhere and increase it {disfmarker} the durability of of the thing ,User Interface: Yeah , I think it's a really good idea .Project Manager: so {disfmarker}UserInterface: Yeah .Project Manager: The other aspects , we'll just see how {disfmarker} what you came up with and what's possible for that budget .User Interface:Yeah .Project Manager: Okay .Industrial Designer: Okay , that's fine . Um . Okay , now work a little with me . Okay . Well ,Project Manager:{vocalsound}Industrial Designer: let's start it as it is . Okay , uh the method . There are a few questions that need to be answered , uh you already uh talkedabout it a little bit . Which buttons are wanted , uh is our remote control universal or should it be programmable . Uh if it should be programmeab grammeale"}

There is no {vocalsound} uh no negotiation uh{vocalsound} possible in this matter .

Welcome to the seventh meeting of the Special Committee on theCOVID-19 Pandemic. Please note that today's proceedings will be televised in the same way as a typical sitting of the House. We will proceed to ministerialannouncements. I understand that there are no ministerial announcements. That's confirmed. We will now proceed to presenting petitions for a period notexceeding 15minutes. I would like to remind members that any petition presented during a meeting of the special committee must have already been certified bythe clerk of petitions. Once the petition is presented, the member is asked to bring it here to the Table. Mr.Manly is the first one to be allowed to present apetition.Mr. Paul Manly (NanaimoLadysmith, GP): Thank you, Mr. Chair. I rise today to present a petition that has many signatures from constituents inNanaimoLadysmith. They're calling for a ban on cosmetic testing using animals. They want us to follow the European Union model, under which the use of animalsin cosmetic testing has been banned. Moving forward, they're calling for a ban on the sale and manufacture of animal-tested cosmetics and their ingredients inCanada.The Chair: Mr. Poilievre is next.Hon. Pierre Poilievre (Carleton, CPC): Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. I rise today to table e-petition 2466, initiated by aconstituent of mine in Stittsville, a beautiful west Ottawa community. The petition has collected 827 signatures from every province and territory. It was collectedby Cara, a mother from my riding who suffered an unthinkable tragedy. Her 11-year-old son Joshua drowned in a boating accident on the St. Lawrence River atRockport, Ontario. Joshua was not wearing a life jacket. Worse, Cara's family had to wait 48 days to recover Joshua's body. Cara is now working tirelessly toamend the small vessel regulations to make it mandatory for children under the age of 14 to wear a life jacket or PFD while they are passengers in or drivers ofsmall vessels covered under parts 2, 3, and 4 of the regulations. I support Cara's efforts, and I'm honoured to table this petition on her behalf.The Chair: Seeingno further petitions to be presented, we'll continue, and we will now proceed to the questioning of ministers. Please note that we will suspend the proceedingsevery 45minutes to allow employees who provide support for the sitting to replace each other safely. Go ahead, Mr. Scheer.Hon. Andrew Scheer (Leader of theOpposition): It was revealed yesterday that this government's policy was to ignore fraud. The Prime Minister's reaction was to act as if everything was normal. Infact, we've learned that over 200,000cases of suspected fraud have been identified in the benefit applications. The Prime Minister is failing our future generations.Our children and grandchildren are going to pay back billions of dollars that he's borrowing to pay tax cheats. Will the Prime Minister protect taxpayers andimmediately begin a review of these 200,000cases of suspected fraud?Right Hon. Justin Trudeau (Prime Minister): Our priority was to get money out quickly to allCanadians who needed it, and that's exactly what we've done. Millions of Canadians have received the money they so desperately needed. Having said that, Iwant to make it very clear, Mr.Chair: Fraud is unacceptable. We have measures in place to detect fraud. All fraudsters will be required to pay back the moneythey fraudulently received from the government. We're going to make sure that this is done in the coming months.Hon. Andrew Scheer: Mr. Chair, Conservativesagree that those who need help should get it, and no one is arguing that they shouldn't, but reports indicate that the Liberals have ordered public servants to turna blind eye to 200,000 cases of suspected fraud. It's a simple question: Yes or no, did the government instruct any government department to ignore red flags orwarnings of fraudulent cases?Right Hon. Justin Trudeau: Mr. Chair, the priority in this situation was getting money out to the millions of Canadians who needed itas quickly as possible, but of course fraud is unacceptable. That's why we have put safeguards in place to ensure that anyone who received that moneyfraudulently will have to repay it.Hon. Andrew Scheer: It's a yes-or-no question, Mr. Chair. Did the government give any kind of instruction to public servants inany department to ignore red flags or warnings of fraudulent cases, yes or no?Right Hon. Justin Trudeau: The instruction to government officials was to getmoney out to those who needed it as quickly as possible. We have put measures in place to detect fraud. People who got this money fraudulently will have torepay.Hon. Andrew Scheer: Mr. Chair, it is clear that he can't answer a yes-or-no question, so we can all assume what the answer must be. In other situations,the government is saying no to people. It's letting so many Canadians down. Small business owners who don't happen to have a CRA payroll number or abusiness account are ineligible for the government supports. Individuals, owner-operators, and those who are earning $1 more than $1,000 are being told thatthey don't qualify for the emergency response benefits. Meanwhile, fraudsters are getting them. Does the Prime Minister think it's fair to tell people who arefollowing all the rules no, while telling government officials to allow fraudulent cases to be processed?Right Hon. Justin Trudeau: Mr. Chair, Canadians well knowthat this is an unprecedented situation, one in which we had to get help to as many Canadians as possible as quickly as possible. That is exactly what we did. Wecontinue to work very hard to fill gaps for people who should get money but haven't been able to, and, as I said, we have strong measures to counter fraud.Anyone who got this money fraudulently will have to repay it.Hon. Andrew Scheer: Mr. Chair, when these programs were first designed, the Prime Minister saidthat he acknowledged that there were problems and that they would be fixed later. Well, here we are in May, and hundreds of thousands of Canadians are beingtold no for purely technical and bureaucratic reasons. Will the Prime Minister make the simple changes to allow business owners who don't happen to have abusiness bank account, who don't happen to have a CRA payroll number and individuals who are ineligible for the emergency response benefit because they'vebeen paid by family members through dividends to qualify, or is he going to continue to let hundreds of thousands of Canadians down during this pandemic?RightHon. Justin Trudeau: Mr. Chair, from the beginning of this pandemic, we moved extremely rapidly to get help and support to millions of Canadians. That was thepriority, and that's what we've been doing for the past two months. As we've said, we will continue to tweak and improve the programs to make sure that morepeople who need help will get it. We are working the best we can, as fast as we can, to help those millions of Canadians who need support.The Chair: You havetime for about a 15-second question, Mr. Scheer.Hon. Andrew Scheer: Mr. Chair, the Prime Minister indicated that he would support Taiwan's inclusion in theWHO only as a non-state observer. Of course, that designation does not exist. Participants of the WHO are either states or NGOs. Will the Prime Minister supportTaiwan's participation as a state observer?The Chair: The Right Honourable Prime Minister has 15 seconds or less, please.Right Hon. Justin Trudeau: Mr. Chair,we will continue with our one China policy, but we have always advocated Taiwan's meaningful inclusion in international bodies where it makes sense to do so,and that includes at the WHO.The Chair: Mr.Blanchet now has the floor.Mr. Yves-Franois Blanchet (BeloeilChambly, BQ): Thank you very much, Mr.Chair. OnFriday, students in Quebec and Canada will be able to apply for the Canada emergency student benefit, which is a good thing. This program was necessary,particularly because the number of students who won't be able to get back their jobs from last year is much higher than the number of jobs that might beavailable to these young people. There are also issues of duration. We don't know how long these jobs will remain unavailable. People talked about a risk to beingin the labour market and meeting the needs of the labour market. On April29, the Deputy Prime Minister made a formal commitment to ensure that theseprograms are accompanied by work incentives for youth and all CESB recipients. So that everyone knows what they're getting into, I'd like to know whether theemployment incentives that will accompany the Canada emergency response benefit will be known by Friday.Right Hon. Justin Trudeau: I thank the hon. memberfor understanding the importance of supporting students who, for the most part, won't be able to get the summer jobs they were counting on. Young people don'tjust want to earn money; they also want to gain work experience. That's why we're setting up programs, including Canada summer jobs, but also anotherprogram with 76,000new jobs for young people in important sectors, so that young people can also get jobs. We will continue to work with youth and employersto ensure that gaps in the labour market are addressed, while ensuring that youth are well-supported.Mr. Yves-Franois Blanchet: That's very interesting, but itdoesn't answer my question at all. People in the fishing, tourism and agricultural sectors, as well as municipalities and, from the very beginning, of course, theGovernment of Quebec, more generally, have expressed fears that job gains will cause people to lose their benefits and discourage them from going to work. Theonly way to avoid that is to ensure that people keep more money as they work more. That is the principle. In fact, we propose that over the $1,000no-penaltylimit, half of the earnings be exempt from penalty. Is this something that could be considered? Since it's been two weeks since the commitment was made and it'surgent, can we act now? The emergency shouldn't last eight months.Right Hon. Justin Trudeau: Mr.Chair, young people need money, but they also need workexperience. This is an unprecedented situation, which is why we're working with seasonal industries and the different regions to make sure they have a sufficientworkforce in their situation. Students can be part of it, but at the same time we must provide the necessary support for those who can't find a job. That's why wecontinue to work with the industries involved to ensure that they have a sufficient workforce while we support students.Mr. Yves-Franois Blanchet: Unfortunately,the spirit of it doesn't seem to have been understood. I doubt that, even in the best-case scenario, the government will be able to get all the jobs needed in atimely manner for all these young people to decide to go ahead. So, first of all, there will be a shortage of jobs. Second, people aren't crazy. If they earn less byworking than they earn by not working, all the good faith in the world won't solve the problem. Can we make sure that people keep more money in their pocketsas they work more? I think we can have a clear answer, given the timeframe. People are going to start registering for the program on Friday. The principles aregood, but a clear answer would be good too.Right Hon. Justin Trudeau: Beginning Friday, students will be able to apply for the Canada emergency student"}

So the first thing you 'd wanna do is just say which transcript you 're on .Professor C: Yeah .Grad A: So . You can see the transcript ? There 's two largenumber strings on the digits ? So you would just read that one . And then you read each line with a small pause between the lines . And the pause is just so theperson transcribing it can tell where one line ends and the other begins . And I 'll give {disfmarker} I 'll read the digit strings first , so can see how that goes . Um. Again , I 'm not sure how much I should talk about {pause} stuff before everyone 's here .Professor C: Mmm . Well , we have one more coming .Grad A: OK .Well , why don't I go ahead and read digit strings and then we can go on from there .Professor C: OK . Well , we can start doing it .Grad A: Thanks . So , uh , justalso a note on wearing the microphones . All of you look like you 're doing it reasonably correctly , but you want it about two thumb widths away from your mouth, and then , at the corner . And that 's so that you minimize breath sounds , so that when you 're breathing , you don't breathe into the mike . Um . Yeah , that 'sgood . And uh {disfmarker} So , everyone needs to fill out , only once , the speaker form and the consent form . And the short form {disfmarker} I mean , youshould read the consent form , but uh , the thing to notice is that we will give you an opportunity to edit a all the transcripts . So , if you say things and you don'twant them to be released to the general public , which , these will be available at some point to anyone who wants them , uh , you 'll be given an opportunity byemail , uh , to bleep out any portions you don't like . Um . On the speaker form just fill out as much of the information as you can . If you 're not exactly sureabout the region , we 're not exactly sure either . So , don't worry too much about it . The {disfmarker} It 's just self rating . Um . And I think that 's about it . Imean , should I {disfmarker} Do you want me to talk at all about why we 're doing this and what this project is ?Professor C: Um , yeah .Grad A: or {disfmarker}?Professor C: No . There was {disfmarker} there was {disfmarker} Let 's see . Oh {disfmarker}Grad E: Does Nancy know that we 're meeting in here ?Grad B: Isent an email .Professor C: She got an emai she was notified .Grad E: Oh yeah , she got an e Yeah , yeah .Professor C: Whether she knows {vocalsound} isanother question . Um . So are the people going to be identified by name ?Grad A: Well , what we 're gonna {disfmarker} we 'll anonymize it in the transcript .Um , but not in the audio .Professor C: Right .Grad A: So theProfessor C: OK . So , then in terms of people worrying about , uh , excising things from thetranscript , it 's unlikely . Since it {disfmarker} it does isn't attributed . Oh , I see , but the a but the {disfmarker} but the {disfmarker}Grad A: Right , so if I said, \" Oh , hi Jerry , how are you ? \" , we 're not gonna go through and cancel out the \" Jerry \"s .Professor C: Yeah . Sure .Grad A: Um , so we will go through and ,in the speaker ID tags there 'll be , you know , M - one O seven , M - one O eight .Professor C: Right .Grad A: Um , but uh ,Professor C: Right .Grad A: um , it wuh , I don't know a good way of doing it on the audio , and still have people who are doing discourse research be able to use the data .Professor C: OK . Mm -hmm . No , I {disfmarker} I wasn't complaining ,Grad A: Yep .Professor C: I just wanted to understand .Grad A: Right .Professor C: OK .Grad B: Well , we canmake up aliases for each of us .Grad A: Yeah , I mean , whatever you wanna do is fine ,Professor C: Right .Grad F: OK .Grad A: but we find that {disfmarker} Wewant the meeting to be as natural as possible . So , we 're trying to do real meetings .Professor C: OK .Grad A: And so we don't wanna have to doaliasesProfessor C: Right .Grad A: and we don't want people to be editing what they say .Grad B: Right .Grad A: So I think that it 's better just as a pro post -process to edit out every time you bash Microsoft .Professor C: Right .Grad B: Mm - hmm .Grad A: You know ?Professor C: Right . Um , OK . So why don't you tellus brieflyGrad A: OK . So thProfessor C: your {disfmarker} give {disfmarker} give your e normal schpiel .Grad A: Um . So this is {disfmarker} The project iscalled Meeting Recorder and there are lots of different aspects of the project . Um . So my particular interest is in the PDA of the future . This is a mock - up ofone . Yes , we do believe the PDA of the future will be made of wood . Um . {comment} The idea is that you 'd be able to put a PDA at the table at an impromptumeeting , and record it , and then be able to do querying and retrieval later on , on the meeting . So that 's my particular interest , is a portable device to do m uh, information retrieval on meetings . Other people are interested in other aspects of meetings . Um . So the first step on that , in any of these , is to collect somedata . And so what we wanted is a room that 's instrumented with both the table top microphones , and these are very high quality pressure zone mikes , as wellas the close talking mikes . What the close talk ng talking mikes gives us is some ground truth , gives us , um , high quality audio , um , especially for people whoaren't interested in the acoustic parts of this corpus . So , for people who are more interested in language , we didn't want to penalize them by having only the farfield mikes available . And then also , um , it 's a very , very hard task in terms of speech recognition . Um . And so , uh , on the far field mikes we can expectvery low recognition results . So we wanted the near field mikes to at least isolate the difference between the two . So that 's why we 're recording in parallel withthe close talking and the far field at the same time . And then , all these channels are recorded simultaneously and framed synchronously so that you can also dothings like , um , beam - forming on all the microphones and do research like that . Our intention is to release this data to the public , um , probably through fthrough a body like the LDC . And , uh , just make it as a generally available corpus . Um . {vocalsound} There 's other work going on in meeting recording . So ,we 're {disfmarker} we 're working with SRI , with UW , Um . NIST has started an effort which will include video . We 're not including video , obviously . And uh{disfmarker} and then also , um , a small amount of assistance from IBM . Is also involved . Um . Oh , and the digit strings , this is just a more constrained task .Um . So because the general environment is so challenging , we decided to {disfmarker} to do at least one set of digit strings to give ourselves something easier .And it 's exactly the same digit strings as in TI - digits , which is a common connected digits corpus . So we 'll have some , um , comparison to be able to be made.Professor C: OK .Grad A: Anything else ?Professor C: No .Grad A: OK , so when the l last person comes in , just have them wear a wireless . It should be onalready . Um . Either one of those . And uh , read the digit strings and {disfmarker} and fill out the forms . So , the most important form is the consent form , sojust be s be sure everyone signs that , if they consent .Grad B: I 'm sure it 's pretty usual for meetings that people come late ,Grad A: Yeah .Grad B: so you willhave to leave what you set .Grad A: Right . And uh , just give me a call , which , my number 's up there when your meeting is over .Professor C: Yep .Grad A:And {disfmarker} I 'm going to leave the mike here but it 's n {nonvocalsound} Uh , but I 'm not gonna be on so don't have them use this one . It 'll just besitting here .Grad B: Input ? Yeah . There we go .Professor C: By the way , Adam , we will be using the , uh , screen as well .Grad B: Yep .Professor C: So , youknow . Wow ! Organization . So you guys who got email about this {pause} oh f uh , Friday or something about what we 're up to .Grad E: No .Grad F: No .GradB: I got it .Grad E: What was the nature of the email ?Professor C: Oh , this was about {pause} um , inferring intentions from features in context , and the words, like \" s go to see \" , or \" visit \" , or someGrad B: Wel - we I {disfmarker} uh {disfmarker} I {disfmarker} I {disfmarker}Professor C: You didn't get it ?Grad E: Idon't think I did .Professor C: I guess these g have got better filters . Cuz I sent it to everybody . You just blew it off .Grad E: Ah .Professor C: OK .Grad B: It 'sreally simple though . So this is the idea . Um . We could pursue , um , if we thought it 's {disfmarker} it 's worth it but , uh , I think we {disfmarker} we willagree on that , um , to come up with a {disfmarker} with a sort of very , very first crude prototype , and do some implementation work , and do some{disfmarker} some research , and some modeling . So the idea is if you want to go somewhere , um , and focus on that object down {disfmarker} Oh , I canactually walk with this . This is nice . down here . That 's the Powder - Tower . Now , um , {vocalsound} we found in our , uh , data and from experiments , thatthere 's three things you can do . Um , you can walk this way , and come really , really close to it . And touch it . But you cannot enter or do anything else . Unlessyou 're interested in rock climbing , it won't do you no good standing there . It 's just a dark alley . But you can touch it . If you want to actually go up or into thetower , you have to go this way , and then through some buildings and up some stairs and so forth . If you actually want to see the tower , and that 's whatactually most people want to do , is just have a good look of it , take a picture for the family , {comment} you have to go this way , and go up here . And thereyou have a vre really view {disfmarker} It exploded , the {disfmarker} during the Thirty years - war . Really uh , interesting sight . And um , these uh{disfmarker} these lines are , um , paths ,Grad E: Mmm .Grad B: or so That 's ab er , i the street network of our geographic information system . And you can tellthat we deliberately cut out this part . Because otherwise we couldn't get our GIS system to take {disfmarker} to lead people this way . It would always use theclosest point to the object , and then the tourists would be faced , you know , in front of a wall , but it would do them absolutely no good . So , {vocalsound} whatwe found interesting is , first of all , intentions differ . Maybe you want to enter a building . Maybe you want to see it , take a picture of it . Or maybe you actually"}

So I want to introduce first of all uh thenames and the colleagues here . And what you're uh drawing ?User Interface: {vocalsound} Uh sure my name is Agnes and I'm an user {disfmarker} usabilityuser interface designer .Marketing: {vocalsound} My name is Ed and I do accounting .Project Manager: Uh how you spell your name uh ?Marketing: E_D_.Project Manager: E_D_ okay .Marketing: Mm .Project Manager: And ?Industrial Designer: Do you also do marketing ?Marketing: {vocalsound} No {vocalsound}.Project Manager: So only accounting ? Okay .Marketing: Accounting , yes .Project Manager: And ?Industrial Designer: And I'm Christine ,Project Manager:Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: and my role in this uh scenario is to be the industrial designer .Project Manager: Industrial designer .Industrial Designer: But I'mnot really one .Project Manager: So who is uh marketing , nobody in the marketMarketing: Marketing is uh , is me {vocalsound} .Project Manager: It's you , okay. So thanks for coming for the meeting first of all , and uh we have a long time , just twenty-five minutes to discuss about uh this project and the the projectinitiation . First of all I want to ask uh Mister Ed about your uh marketing plan and your product plan and uh {disfmarker}Marketing: {vocalsound} Well I thinkthat we'll see that throughout the day in how we're going to put this together as a marketing to to market the product . We'll have to see on a through discussionon where we're gonna go from here and from {disfmarker} with this .Project Manager: Mm-hmm but uh do you already have like a functional design or atechnical design or {disfmarker}Marketing: {vocalsound} Uh for the moment not yet .Project Manager: Oh for the moment not yet , okay , but uh what's what'syour uh {disfmarker} do you have some project plan , something with you or {disfmarker}Marketing: {vocalsound} Good question {vocalsound} . No , this islike I said that we have to be discussed between all of us and we'll go from there . We'll have to {disfmarker} simply we'll have to work on it together .ProjectManager: Mm-hmm . Okay , so uh by when you think you can uh give me some kind of uh project plan , okay , a discussion with uh {disfmarker}Marketing:Certainly by the next meeting .Project Manager: By next meeting , okay that will be great . Uh Okay , so there's any questions or uh first of all about uh thisproject ?Industrial Designer: What is the goal of the project ?Project Manager: Uh the goal of the project I think maybe I'll uh hand out to the Ed , okay , so toexplain uh what is the project because he's in the sales and the accounting .Marketing: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: I'm in the salesI'm supposed to explain them what to do {vocalsound} . We have to define exactly what our product is , from uh {disfmarker}Project Manager: Yes , so can youexplain uh what exactly the product is ?Marketing: From what I had in mind we're supposed to be marketing coffee , is that right ?Project Manager: Oh I think uh, if I'm not wrong , we're making the remote control .User Interface: Um I was wondering {disfmarker}Marketing: Remote controls , 'cause I had two differentthings . I had a first part of mine was to make a remote control for a new f remote control for television , and afterward I had a discussion about coffee so{vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound} Yes .Marketing: we'll start with the remote control for television then . So we're have to design something that isvery user friendly .Project Manager: Mm-hmm .User Interface: Mm-hmm .Marketing: Something uh visual that has something that will will draw people to buy theproduct ,Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Marketing: because I think everybody's experienced with uh remote controls , and some remote controls are are worth uhthrowing out the window . Uh th most of them ar I don't know we're have to come up with a new idea on how to make it a lot easier to use ,Project Manager:Mm-hmm .Marketing: 'cause a lot of times uh spend uh half a day through the instruction book trying to figure out how to use it .Project Manager: Mm-hmm.User Interface: Mm .Project Manager: And uh what abo uh Christine , what about your uh the industrial design plan ? Are you have a design already on thisproduct or uh you're still working on the design ?Industrial Designer: Um no , I I have not begun working on the design ,Project Manager: Mm-hmm .IndustrialDesigner: and um I uh I actually didn't know we were designing a remote control , I thought we were designing a new monitor . Um the website I went to look athad some announcements about an introduction of a um uh some sort of a seven inch um monitor , and um I understood that that was the project goal . So umI'm glad I didn't d do any work um ahead of time because uh I clearly didn't understand the project goal .Project Manager: Okay .Industrial Designer: Um I justdid s see that we were starting a new project together and there was going to be a four member team composed of these people , and um that's about uh that's{disfmarker}Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: and I I read through the different steps , and what my responsibilities were relative to the steps.Project Manager: So uh you'll be leading the team for your design team or how many members is working in the team , for the design ?Industrial Designer:{vocalsound} Uh for the industrial design ?Project Manager: Yes .Industrial Designer: Um well , I would th think that depends on how much money you give us.Project Manager: Okay .Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: That's {gap}Industrial Designer: Um because uh , you know , you can uh you can make it uh{disfmarker} {vocalsound} you have different choices with different financial models .Project Manager: Yeah , but uh before we talk about uh the finance , okay ,uh do you have some idea how we can uh sell this product or project in the market and how much is going to benefit to the company and uh of course it's to theindividual also .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Well , you know um , I kind of think that in general you have to do uh um y you have to have something that'svery fashionable , that's uh very attractive {disfmarker} that um people see and recognize uh its goal , and uh they immediately wanna have it uh have one oftheir own . So it would {disfmarker} really would need to um {disfmarker} {vocalsound} something like the iPod would be good , seems to have caught on fairlywell ,Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: so um d uh you know , I don't care what it does , just so it looks cool .Project Manager: Okay , but uh uhwhen you think you can give me like a kind of design on the functional design or the technical design ?Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Well , uh I've got a lot ofother projects I'm doing right now um and so I'll have to wait and see how those uh how those go . If they uh go quickly then uh it could be a month . If um if Irun into any problems in my other projects it might be six months .Project Manager: Yeah , but uh I need something in the writing , so like uh what's yourfunctional design , what's your technical design , and uh how many people you need for this project , and what's the time frame you're looking , okay , and whatis the budget , maybe uh initial budget you're looking , okay , and uh how is going to the market , okay ,Industrial Designer: Mm-hmm . Mm-hmm .ProjectManager: so you've you've had to meet with the marketing team and how they're going to market and what are the marketing strategic plan , okay , when areyou going to introduce , okay , and by the time you introduce the product and uh you know there there would be a competition , okay , so I need some kind of uhuh the plan in the writing from you . Okay , and it's poIndustrial Designer: {vocalsound} And when would you like that ?Project Manager: B as soon as possible.Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Uh well if uh if we have enough time uh then d do you think um two weeks is a {disfmarker} is close enough ?ProjectManager: Yes I think uh that would be good , because I need to go to the management and uh tell them what we are going to do , and uh what cost is , okay ,and what's the time frame and what's the project plan , because uh without any uh documentations , I cannot go to the management and say , so we are going todo this and we need this much money , okay , so then it's it's difficult for me to say , okay , that's the reason I need uh some kind of plan from you , initially ,okay , then we can have the further discussion again .Industrial Designer: Uh {vocalsound} are there other people who will be contributing to the plan ?ProjectManager: Yes , of course , if you need some help , uh so let me know . So , who are the people you need uh from the marketing or uh the technical side or uh theadministration point of view , okay , to add in any documentation , or some technical point of view ,Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: so just letme know so I can uh coordinate all the teams .Industrial Designer: Okay , I'll get back to you on that .Project Manager: Yes . Thank you . Okay . And uh Ed uh sowhat's {disfmarker} what do you think about uh this uh project for the remote control and d do you have some already planned something for your marketingstrategy or uh the sales strategy ?Marketing: Well not yet other than uh doing research and taking remote controls and looking what other companies have to douh , what they're building , their designs , their ideas ,Project Manager: {vocalsound} Hmm . {vocalsound}Marketing: uh also have to pinpoint which marketwe're gonna go into .Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Marketing: It should be a fairly large market because uh the number of people that uh {disfmarker} thecompetition ,Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Marketing: uh th I agree it has to be something {disfmarker} it has to be something new , it has to be something thatthat draws people saying eh , I like this . Whether it works or not , they have to first say I like this , I like the design , and then it's gotta be simple to use .ProjectManager: Yes , so what I uh prefer maybe uh you need to interact uh more with the Christine , okay , because you know what she is going to do it , okay , andyou know how to sell it . Okay , because uh she is doing the design , but you are the core because you are in the marketing , okay ,Marketing: Yeah .ProjectManager: so because you need to sell {disfmarker} and you're the responsible for the all the money , the finance , okay , tomorrow .Marketing: Mm-hmm.Project Manager: So , what I prefer , okay , so you need to interact with the Christine more and uh within her team , okay , who is using the functional design ortechnical design , okay ,Marketing: Mm-hmm .Project Manager: and uh you need to come up with some kind of plan , okay , how we are going to do the{disfmarker} your sales plan , okay , thMarketing: Do we already have a cost limit on this , th an idea of how much uh we want to market this for , how much it'sgonna sell for ,Project Manager: Th That {disfmarker} that'sMarketing: that's up that's up to us to decide , eh ? {vocalsound}Project Manager: Yes , that's"}

Um , sowhat I was started playing with was the {disfmarker} th again , this is the HTK back - end . And , um , I was curious because the way that they train up themodels , {vocalsound} they go through about four sort of rounds of {disfmarker} of training . And in the first round they do {disfmarker} uh , I think it 's threeiterations , and for the last three rounds e e they do seven iterations of re - estimation in each of those three . And so , you know , that 's part of what takes solong to train the {disfmarker} the {disfmarker} the back - end for this .Professor B: I 'm sorry , I didn't quite get that . There 's {disfmarker} there 's four andthere 's seven and {disfmarker} I {disfmarker} I 'm sorry .PhD C: Yeah . Uh , maybe I should write it on the board . So , {vocalsound} there 's four rounds oftraining . Um , I g I g I guess you could say iterations . The first one is three , then seven , seven , and seven . And what these numbers refer to is the number oftimes that the , uh , HMM re - estimation is run . It 's this program called H EProfessor B: But in HTK , what 's the difference between , uh , a {disfmarker} aninner loop and an outer loop in these iterations ?PhD C: OK . So what happens is , um , at each one of these points , you increase the number of Gaussians in themodel .Professor B: Yeah . Oh , right ! This was the mix up stuff .PhD C: Yeah . The mix up .Professor B: That 's right .PhD C: Right .Professor B: I remember now.PhD C: And so , in the final one here , you end up with , uh {disfmarker} for all of the {disfmarker} the digit words , you end up with , uh , three {pause}mixtures per state ,Professor B: Yeah .PhD C: eh , in the final {pause} thing . So I had done some experiments where I was {disfmarker} I {disfmarker} I wantto play with the number of mixtures .Professor B: Mm - hmm .PhD C: But , um , uh , I wanted to first test to see if we actually need to do {pause} this manyiterations early on .Grad E: Uh , one , two ,Professor B: Mm - hmm .PhD C: And so , um , I {disfmarker} I ran a couple of experiments where I {vocalsound}reduced that to l to be three , two , two , {vocalsound} uh , five , I think , and I got almost the exact same results .Professor B: Mm - hmm .PhD C: And{disfmarker} but it runs much much faster . So , um , I {disfmarker} I think m {pause} it only took something like , uh , three or four hours to do the fulltraining ,Professor B: As opposed to {disfmarker} ?PhD F: Good .PhD C: as opposed to wh what , sixteen hours or something like that ? I mean , it takes{disfmarker} you have to do an overnight basically , the way it is set up now .PhD F: Yeah . It depends .PhD A: Mm - hmm .Professor B: Mm - hmm .PhD C: So ,uh , even we don't do anything else , doing something like this could allow us to turn experiments around a lot faster .Professor B: And then when you have yourfinal thing , do a full one , so it 's {disfmarker}PhD C: And when you have your final thing , we go back to this .PhD F: Yeah .PhD C: So , um , and it 's a realsimple change to make . I mean , it 's like one little text file you edit and change those numbers , and you don't do anything else .PhD F: Oh , this is a{disfmarker}PhD A: Mm - hmm .PhD C: And then you just run .PhD F: OK .PhD C: So it 's a very simple change to make and it doesn't seem to hurt all that much.PhD A: So you {disfmarker} you run with three , two , two , five ? That 's aPhD C: So I {disfmarker} Uh , I {disfmarker} I have to look to see what the exactnumbers were .PhD A: Yeah .PhD C: I {disfmarker} I thought was , like , three , two , two , five ,PhD A: Mm - hmm .PhD C: but I I 'll {disfmarker} I 'll doublecheck . It was {vocalsound} over a week ago that I did it ,PhD A: OK . Mm - hmm .PhD C: so I can't remember exactly .Grad E: Oh .PhD C: But , uh{disfmarker}Professor B: Mm - hmm .PhD C: um , but it 's so much faster . I it makes a big difference .Grad E: Hmm .PhD C: So we could do a lot moreexperiments and throw a lot more stuff in there .PhD F: Yeah .Professor B: That 's great .PhD C: Um . Oh , the other thing that I did was , um , {vocalsound} Icompiled {pause} the HTK stuff for the Linux boxes . So we have this big thing that we got from IBM , which is a five - processor machine . Really fast , but it 'srunning Linux . So , you can now run your experiments on that machine and you can run five at a time and it runs , {vocalsound} uh , as fast as , you know , uh ,five different machines .PhD A: Mm - hmm .PhD F: Mm - hmm .PhD C: So , um , I 've forgotten now what the name of that machine is but I can {disfmarker} Ican send email around about it .PhD A: Yeah .PhD C: And so we 've got it {disfmarker} now HTK 's compiled for both the Linux and for , um , the Sparcs . Um ,you have to make {disfmarker} you have to make sure that in your dot CSHRC , {vocalsound} um , it detects whether you 're running on the Linux or a{disfmarker} a Sparc and points to the right executables . Uh , and you may not have had that in your dot CSHRC before , if you were always just running theSparc . So , um ,PhD A: Mm - hmm .PhD C: uh , I can {disfmarker} I can tell you exactly what you need to do to get all of that to work . But it 'll {disfmarker} itreally increases what we can run on .Grad E: Hmm . Cool .PhD C: So , {vocalsound} together with the fact that we 've got these {pause} faster Linux boxes andthat it takes less time to do {pause} these , um , we should be able to crank through a lot more experiments .PhD A: Mm - hmm .PhD C: So .Grad E: Hmm .PhDC: So after I did that , then what I wanted to do {comment} was try {pause} increasing the number of mixtures , just to see , um {disfmarker} see how{disfmarker} how that affects performance .PhD A: Yeah .PhD C: So .Professor B: Yeah . In fact , you could do something like {pause} keep exactly the sameprocedure and then add a fifth thing onto itPhD C: Mm - hmm .Professor B: that had more .PhD C: Exactly .Professor B: Yeah .PhD C: Right . Right .Grad E: So at{disfmarker} at the middle o where the arrows are showing , that 's {disfmarker} you 're adding one more mixture per state ,PhD C: Uh - huh . Uh ,Grad E: or{disfmarker} ?PhD C: let 's see , uh . It goes from this {disfmarker} uh , try to go it backwards {disfmarker} this {disfmarker} at this point it 's two mixtures{pause} per state . So this just adds one . Except that , uh , actually for the silence model , it 's six mixtures per state .Professor B: Mm - hmm .PhD C: Uh , so itgoes to two .Grad E: OK .PhD C: Um . And I think what happens here is {disfmarker}Professor B: Might be between , uh , shared , uh {disfmarker} sharedvariances or something ,PhD C: Yeah . I think that 's what it is .Professor B: or {disfmarker}PhD C: Uh , yeah . It 's , uh {disfmarker} Shoot . I {disfmarker} I{disfmarker} I can't remember now what happens at that first one . Uh , I have to look it up and see .Grad E: Oh , OK .PhD C: Um , there {disfmarker} becausethey start off with , uh , an initial model which is just this global model , and then they split it to the individuals . And so , {vocalsound} it may be that that 'swhat 's happening here . I {disfmarker} I {disfmarker} {vocalsound} I have to look it up and see . I {disfmarker} I don't exactly remember .Grad E: OK.Professor B: OK .PhD C: So . That 's it .Professor B: Alright . So what else ?PhD A: Um . Yeah . There was a conference call this Tuesday . Um . I don't know yetthe {disfmarker} {vocalsound} what happened {vocalsound} Tuesday , but {vocalsound} the points that they were supposed to discuss is still , {vocalsound} uh, things like {vocalsound} the weights , uh {disfmarker}Professor B: Oh , this is a conference call for , uh , uh , Aurora participant sort of thing .Grad E: For{disfmarker}PhD A: Yeah . Yeah .Professor B: I see .PhD A: Mmm .Professor B: Do you know who was {disfmarker} who was {disfmarker} since we weren't inon it , uh , do you know who was in from OGI ? Was {disfmarker} {vocalsound} was {disfmarker} was Hynek involved or was it SunilPhD A: I have no idea.Professor B: or {disfmarker} ?PhD A: Mmm , I just {disfmarker}Professor B: Oh , you don't know . OK .PhD A: Yeah .Professor B: Alright .PhD A: Um , yeah . Sothe points were the {disfmarker} the weights {disfmarker} how to weight the different error rates {vocalsound} that are obtained from different language and{disfmarker} and conditions . Um , it 's not clear that they will keep the same kind of weighting . Right now it 's a weighting on {disfmarker} on improvement.Professor B: Mm - hmm .PhD A: Some people are arguing that it would be better to have weights on uh {disfmarker} well , to {disfmarker} to combine errorrates {pause} before computing improvement . Uh , and the fact is that for {disfmarker} right now for {pause} the English , they have weights {disfmarker}they {disfmarker} they combine error rates , but for the other languages they combine improvement . So it 's not very consistent . Um {disfmarker}Professor B:Mm - hmm .PhD A: Yeah . The , um {disfmarker} Yeah . And so {disfmarker} Well , {vocalsound} this is a point . And right now actually there is a thing also ,{vocalsound} uh , that happens with the current weight is that a very non - significant improvement {pause} on the well - matched case result in {pause} hugedifferences in {disfmarker} {vocalsound} in the final number .Professor B: Mm - hmm .PhD A: And so , perhaps they will change the weights to {disfmarker}PhDC: Hmm .PhD A: Yeah .PhD C: How should that be done ? I mean , it {disfmarker} it seems like there 's a simple way {disfmarker}PhD A: Mm - hmm .PhD C: Uh, this seems like an obvious mistake or something .Professor B: Well , I mean , the fact that it 's inconsistent is an obvious mistake .PhD C: Th - they 're{disfmarker}Professor B: But the {disfmarker} but , um , the other thing {disfmarker}PhD A: InProfessor B: I don't know I haven't thought it through , but one{disfmarker} one would think that {vocalsound} each {disfmarker} It {disfmarker} it 's like if you say what 's the {disfmarker} what 's the best way to do anaverage , an arithmetic average or a geometric average ?PhD C: Mm - hmm .Professor B: It depends what you wanna show .PhD A: Mm - hmm .Professor B:"}

Inaccordance with Standing Order 34.19, I've determined that the public are excluded from the committee's meeting, in order to protect public health. Inaccordance with Standing Order 34.21, notice of this decision was included in the agenda for this meeting, which was published last Thursday. This meeting is,however, being broadcast live on Senedd.tv, with all participants joining via video-conference. A record of proceedings will be published as usual. Aside from theprocedural adaptation related to conducting proceedings remotely, all other Standing Order requirements for committees remain in place. The meeting isbilingual, and simultaneous translation from Welsh to English is available. Can I remind everyone that the microphones will be controlled centrally, so there's noneed to turn them on and off individually? We've received apologies for absence from Hefin David AM, and there is no substitution. Can I ask Members if there areany declarations of interest, please? No. Okay, thank you. Can I just note for the record that if for any reason I drop out of the meeting, the committee hasagreed that Dawn Bowden AM will temporarily chair while I try to rejoin? Moving on, then, to item 2 this afternoon, which is an evidence session with the WelshGovernment in relation to the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on health and social services as they relate to children and young people in Wales. I'm verypleased to welcome Vaughan Gething AM, the Minister for Health and Social Services; Julie Morgan AM, Deputy Minister for Health and Social Services; AlbertHeaney, deputy director general of the health and social services group; Nicola Edwards, deputy director, childcare, play and early years; Jean White, chiefnursing officer; and Tracey Breheny, who is deputy director of mental health, substance misuse and vulnerable groups. Thank you all very much for yourattendance today—we appreciate your time. We've got lots of questions that we'd like to cover, which we'll go straight into, with questions from SiânGwenllian.Sian Gwenllian AM: Good afternoon. How much do we understand about how this virus impacts children and young people, and their role intransmitting the virus? And how important is it that this is considered in the Welsh Government's exit strategy, especially in the context of reopeningschools?Vaughan Gething AM: Okay. I think it's fair to say that our understanding is developing across all age ranges about the virus and its impact. It's still thecase that children and young people are less likely to be affected significantly by COVID-19 than people with a range of healthcare conditions, and in particularthe age grade that we've seen, and that's underpinned the advice we've given to the whole population about self-isolation by people in age categories, as well asthe extremely vulnerable group we advise to shield. We still don't understand everything about the role that children have to play in the transmitting of the virus,and this is one of the difficulties we face. Because in cold and flu, children transmit the virus and they're also susceptible, in particular to the flu, as well; that'swhy we have a childhood immunisation programme for the flu as well. We do know that there's some developing evidence about what's called a Kawasaki-likesyndrome, but that's affecting very small numbers of children. We have one possible case in Wales—a child who's in critical care—but that isn't confirmed. That'sstill a developing knowledge base. So, the rest of the world is still trying to understand that too. But the generals still apply—that children are less likely to beaffected than older people, but can nevertheless still become unwell, and that's, if you like, one of the few positives in this condition. But as I say, we're stilllearning, so I won't try and present a fully accurate or finalised picture of knowledge in this area.Sian Gwenllian AM: And in terms—[Inaudible.]Vaughan GethingAM: Chair. Sorry. Excuse me, Chair. Sorry—with apologies to the Member, my translation stopped after a while, so I heard the first part translated, and then itjust fell off. I'm really sorry, but I didn't want to try to answer a different question to the one that may be being asked, and don't think that's fair to the Memberor other members of the committee.Lynne Neagle AM: Can we check that translation is back on, please, and maybe Siân could repeat her question?VaughanGething AM: I can hear it, yes.Lynne Neagle AM: Okay, Siân, would you mind repeating that, please?Sian Gwenllian AM: Not at all. I was discussing NHS services,including critical care services, and I was asking whether there is sufficient capacity in place to manage any increase. We, of course, hope that there won't be anyincrease, but should there be an increase, particularly in paediatric cases of coronavirus—let's say such a thing were to happen and this rare syndrome that youmentioned did emerge here in Wales—do we have the capacity in place to deal with these, and with the impact of coronavirus more generally onchildren?Vaughan Gething AM: At this point in time, the answer is 'yes', and there is always a significant caveat, though, and the 'but' that comes in there is thatdespite the fact that we've got a plan for surge capacity in paediatric care—. So, when we increased critical care right across the national health service, we ofcourse looked at paediatric care as part of that as well. So, we can flex up our capacity. But the challenge in all of that this is—it's part of my caution and theGovernment's caution about moves out of lockdown. So, it's much easier to go into lockdown than to come out of it, and I know you heard evidence from theMinister for Education last week about the approach that she wants to take and the principles behind doing that. So, actually, we'll need to think carefully about ifwe are reopening schools, even on a limited basis, what that then does to the circulation of coronavirus within that group of children as well as within the widercommunity, and then to try to understand whether the current capacity we have planned for in surge capacity is still going to be enough, because, actually, oneof the real success stories of the first stage of the fight with coronavirus is that we haven't had our critical care capacity filled up. It's been extended, and theextension has meant that we haven't been overtopped. If we hadn't done that, we definitely would have been. And we'll need to carry on testing ourselves andseeing what's happening and looking at the evidence and making sure that the plan we already have got that we published for paediatric critical care is still fit forpurpose, and again to reconsider if we need to do things differently. But that's part of the difficulty of being a Minister at the moment—you don't know everythingthat's coming, and on this disease in particular, we do know that we're still learning with each passing day.Lynne Neagle AM: [Inaudible.]—Siân?Sian GwenllianAM: Hello. Yes, those are the questions I had on that section.Lynne Neagle AM: Okay. Lovely. Thank you very much. Right, we'll move on now then to somequestion on access to health services from Dawn Bowden.Dawn Bowden AM: Thank you, Chair. Minister, just some concern that you will have heard about interms of parents and carers maybe not taking their children into the healthcare system for other conditions while the coronavirus pandemic is with us. How areyou monitoring that situation at the moment and have you had to look at your own commutation strategy in relation to that?Vaughan Gething AM: We've had tolook at some specifics around communication, so challenges about not just different languages, but about how we get messages to people in a very differentenvironment, and it's really challenging. So, for example, our health visitor service has absolutely not stopped. We've had to think about the way it works, and Ihad this conversation earlier this week with the chief nurse. But the bigger challenge are parents refusing to engage with the service. I understand people's fearand anxiety, but that then means that their family, and in particular their child, isn't getting the sort of proactive care that we would want them to have. So,there's a real concern both at the professional leadership end and for the chief nurse and for Ministers as well about how we can get through. That's actuallyabout rebuilding people's confidence in the service, and that isn't straightforward because there's a broader concern about coronavirus still circulating. But I thinkfor us it's really important to reiterate that we have thought again about how to provide the service. We've thought about how to protect staff and families andthe very clear message to parents is to please make sure that when health and care professionals are calling to help and support your family, please discuss yourconcerns with them. We're doing even more remotely, via telephone and online as well. There are times you need to be physically in the same place, for exampleon routine vaccinations, because we certainly haven't stopped that programme either, and I really wouldn't want to see that one of the unintended consequencesof what we've done is that if parents don't engage with that service, we could potentially see a rise in other diseases. We're all, I think—not just you in yourconstituency, but others who are on this call and others as well—seeing an occasional reappearance of measles, and that's because people didn't engage with thevaccination programme. I don't want, either myself or a different health Minister in the future, to be sat here talking about how in years to come the failure toengage in a vaccination programme has led to clearly avoidable but significant harm to children and young people and the communities they live in.Lynne NeagleAM: Thank you. Jean, you wanted to come in.Vaughan Gething AM: You need to unmute yourself. Oh, no—Professor Jean White: Thank you. I just want to add towhat the Minister said. So, I approached the immunisation lead in Public Health Wales to see exactly what has been happening recently and they said at the verybeginning of the outbreak parents were very reluctant about coming forward for their routine immunisations, but recently, through lots of energy from theimmunisation clinics and the leads within it reaching out to families, that trend seems to have turned and there's now a much better attendance. One of the mostimportant things we can do to protect our children is to make sure they have their vaccinations. So, yes, there was a bit of a downturn, but it does seem to beimproving at the moment. Thank you.Dawn Bowden AM: Okay, thank you. And that answered my second question, Chair, so I'm happy to leave it there. Thankyou.Lynne Neagle AM: Okay, thank you very much. We're going to go on now to some questions about mental health from Siân Gwenllian. Siân.Sian GwenllianAM: It's a cause of great concern to us all, of course, in terms of the impact of this crisis on mental health and well-being among our children and young people.So, what assessment has the Government undertaken of the impact on these aspects in young people and what work is being done to understand the impact ofthe pandemic? What longer term measures will be put in place and what support services will be put in place?Vaughan Gething AM: Again, I think it's helpful that"}

Starts at three o'clock . Uh {disfmarker} {vocalsound}Marketing: Yeah .Project Manager: Uh , let me see . Our fourth and last meeting . There he is . Yes. Okay this our last meeting . In this meeting we will discuss our final design . And we will do some evaluation about the , not only the product , but also theproject . And then we're going to close the project today as well . So after this you will be uh free to go and uh spend all your money . {vocalsound}UserInterface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound} {vocalsound}Project Manager: And this uh design , detailed design meetinguh we will discuss uh the look-and-feel of the design , the usability interface design , and we will do the product evaluation . Um , in order to do that we have thisagenda . We'll have the prototype presentation first . Then we will set up some evaluation cri um criteria . {vocalsound} Then we will look at the finance . Uh wewill have to see if everything we wanna do is also possible within our budget . Because everything costs money , and the more functions you wanna have themore money it will cost . So we have to see if it fits within the twelve and a half Euro per remote . But we will see that later . Then we will do the project uhevaluation , and the closing after that .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: We've got forty minutes . So we will be finished at half past three . Butfirst um we will do the {disfmarker} this is prototype presentation . So , if some yeah if somebody wants step forward .Industrial Designer: Okay . Well this iswhat me and Richard came up with . The default spot for the on-off button . The mute button just below that . Then there's the volume and channel selectors .Simple plus-minus button . Uh we thought of a help button . If you hold it and you press another button , uh the help goes to the L_C_D_ screen . Then there'sthe zero to {disfmarker} one to zero buttons . A button for teletext . A button for the subtitles . And the company logo . So it's rather simple prototype . And uhwe'll have to see from testing uh how the users take it .Project Manager: Okay .Marketing: Um , {vocalsound} is this the moment where we ask or can askquestions about the functionality ?User Interface: So {disfmarker} Yeah . Yeah .Industrial Designer: Sure uh just pop in at any time .Marketing: Um , whenyou're in teletext there usually are buttons where you just you just press it and you g go to the next teletext page .User Interface: Uh , that's just uh the normaluh as th as the normal uh remote controls uh {disfmarker} So um {disfmarker} You put it uh {disfmarker} you um came in uh page uh one hundred . Now youcan use the normal uh one to zero buttons .Marketing: Mm-hmm .User Interface: And you {disfmarker} But you can also uh use the um button th for uhchanging the the channel . S so uh the shifting uh button . Uh for uh yeah shif shifting up in uh on t on t uh teletext , and shifting uh down . So{disfmarker}Marketing: Okay . Okay . Um {disfmarker} Yeah .Project Manager: Okay . Uh but um I thought in a few meetings earlier we uh uh tried to keep it uhsimple . Uh just a few buttons and large buttons .User Interface: Oh yeah ?Project Manager: But uh I think these are altogether quite a quite a few buttons . SoI'm wondering if we if we neely {disfmarker} really need all of those buttons .User Interface: {vocalsound} {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: I think if you lookat most controls , they've got more buttons than this .Project Manager: That's right .User Interface: Yeah .Industrial Designer: And well the on-off button , it's it'sa necessity .Project Manager: Yeah .User Interface: Yeah .Industrial Designer: You can't drop that one . The volume and channel buttons , you need youobviously need those those .Project Manager: Yeah .Industrial Designer: The mute button could be replaced uh by pressing the volume-down button twice . So wecould cancel that one . I think the help button really is necessaryUser Interface: Yeah yeah .Industrial Designer: because there's no other way to know whensomeone wants to know what a button does .Project Manager: Mm .User Interface: Uh , or you can build in uh when you press uh one button uh uh{disfmarker}Project Manager: Long time . Yeah .User Interface: Yeah .Project Manager: If you put {disfmarker}User Interface: But m Yeah . We disc discuss thatalready . But uh we think uh old people uh don't know that uh option . So uh they just put in uh put {vocalsound} press uh the button and uh{disfmarker}Project Manager: Yeah . Okay .Industrial Designer: Well , {vocalsound} you can't leave out the number buttons I guess .Project Manager: Yeah.User Interface: And uh {disfmarker}Project Manager: Uh teletext and subtitles are yeah necessary .Industrial Designer: And {disfmarker} {vocalsound}UserInterface: Oh .Industrial Designer: Yeah .Marketing: Yeah .Project Manager: Okay .Industrial Designer: So it's rather basic already .Marketing: Yeah . Think so .That's what I pointed out earlier . If you just make a control for just the T_V_ there's just not much to gain here .Project Manager: Yep .User Interface: Yeah.Project Manager: Okay . So we had somebody about th interfa Something about the design of the buttons there ?Industrial Designer: Yeah , they're{disfmarker}Project Manager: Just n normal plain buttons .User Interface: Yeah . Yeah ,Industrial Designer: It's rather hard to draw on the white-board .UserInterface: it {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: But they're supposed to be equal sized , round , with a with a little logo on it for the for the volume , the thetriangle and stuff .Project Manager: Yeah . 'Kay .User Interface: Yeah yeah . Just to recognise it , so uh {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Just for recognition.User Interface: Uh yeah and now we don't need uh LEDs or um {disfmarker} Y uhProject Manager: No .User Interface: s some uh remote controls uh do it also,Project Manager: No .User Interface: but um uh because we use the little display we don't uh have to use it . Uh so {disfmarker}Project Manager: Yeah . Okay.Industrial Designer: So and for the materials we've just chosen for rubber buttons . With a a different colour than the case .User Interface: Nay .ProjectManager: Yep .Industrial Designer: So they jump out .Project Manager: Okay .Industrial Designer: And uh that's about it .Project Manager: That's nice . Thenbecause we only have thirty minutes left , I will move on to the finance part , which is pretty exciting , to see if it's all possible what we wanna do . And I can tellyou that we're going to have a pretty hard time producing this for twelve and a half Euros .Marketing: {vocalsound}User Interface: Mm .Project Manager: If wesee {disfmarker} I don't know if I've filled in correctly , so just correct me if you see uh something wrong . I counted two batteries . But maybe we can also useone . I don't know if it's possible .Marketing: Since it rechargeable .Project Manager: It's rechargeable . That's right .User Interface: Yeah we can u just uh {gap}{disfmarker}Project Manager: Okay . That's two Euros off . {vocalsound}User Interface: 'Kay . {vocalsound}Project Manager: We need the advanced chip . Sothere's not much to uh {vocalsound} to save there .Industrial Designer: Yep .Project Manager: {vocalsound} Here we have the single curves . Uh we can see thatthe difference between uncurved and the single curved is one Euro . Um ,User Interface: Mm .Project Manager: I don't know , but I think the single curved isgood for design , and also for the display to have a prominent place on the remote control .User Interface: Yeah .Project Manager: I think we have to keep that.Industrial Designer: Yes .User Interface: Yeah .Project Manager: Then we have the case material supplements . It's plastic . It's the cheapest one we need . Sothat's uh not much to save either . But then the biggest costs are the buttons . So maybe we really should try to discard some buttons to uh keep our costs low.User Interface: Okay .Project Manager: Because you have to {disfmarker} we will have to get the twelve and a half Euros at the end . Um ,User Interface: Yeah.Project Manager: so if we {disfmarker} Let's fir first count the buttons we have now .User Interface: Uh {disfmarker} Sixteen , I believe so .Project Manager:Because I {disfmarker} {vocalsound} Sixteen . Nah , that will be even more then . Eighteen Euros . So ,User Interface: Uh seventeen . Uh with the help button.Project Manager: seventeen .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: Um {disfmarker}Project Manager: Okay , including the help ?Industrial Designer: Yep.Marketing: Damn .Project Manager: Yeah . Uh seventeen .User Interface: Yeah .Project Manager: I think we can uh discard the help and the mute button uh bypressing down volume long , or pressing down a a number long .Marketing: {vocalsound}User Interface: {gap} .Industrial Designer: Yep .Project Manager: Thatsaves us uh one Euro already . 'Cause then we have got fifteen I think ?Industrial Designer: Yeah .Marketing: Wouldn't {disfmarker}Project Manager: Fifteenbuttons .Marketing: Yeah . No . That wouldn't be an option .Project Manager: And this is {disfmarker}Marketing: Uh , d I assume you'd count the volume andchannel thingies for two buttons each , right ?Project Manager: No those are one , I think .User Interface: Yeah . Where did uh {disfmarker}{vocalsound}Marketing: Well , think actually there're two buttons ,User Interface: Uh , it's just one button .Marketing: aren't they ?User Interface: But , um{disfmarker} Yeah . There were uh two uh for one big button . But they are uh more expensive than the small ones . Uh , yeah . So {disfmarker}ProjectManager: Yeah but th it's not stated in this files .User Interface: It's just a {gap} .Project Manager: So maybe we can we can even make one button with thevolume and the channel in one , by pressingMarketing: Well I was thinking , maybe you could just integrate three of those numbers to one button .ProjectManager: That's possibility as well .Marketing: That would cut the cost .Project Manager: So {disfmarker} And it's good for the design as well . So you can make{disfmarker} Uh let's see . If you make this {disfmarker} {vocalsound} Looks a bit like uh a cross . {vocalsound} Plus . Min .User Interface: But I don't don'tknow if if it's cheaper .Project Manager: Uh s yeah channel .User Interface: So uh ,Project Manager: Yeah wUser Interface: we've still got four buttons , but justum {disfmarker} So {disfmarker}Project Manager: Yeah th I think they count uh the materials .User Interface: You got uh not not a butt button itself , but uh onthe um {disfmarker}Project Manager: Yeah on the chip there . Yeah .User Interface: Yeah . On the chip you've got still uh four uh four buttons .IndustrialDesigner: Yeah .Marketing: Mm-hmm .Project Manager: That's right . That's right .User Interface: So {disfmarker}Project Manager: But I think because we havethe advanced chipMarketing: Yeah .Project Manager: {vocalsound} we can just count this as one button .User Interface: Yeah , but {disfmarker}Marketing:"}

So Jane also wanted to talk about participant approval , but I don't really think there 's much totalk about . I 'm just gonna do it . And uh , if anyone objects too much then they can do it instead .Professor B: You are going to {disfmarker}Grad A: I 'm gonnasend out to the participants , uh , with links to web pages which contain the transcripts and allow them to {pause} suggest edits . And then bleep them out.Professor B: OK .Grad A: For the ones that we have . Um {disfmarker}PhD C: So but it 's just transcripts , not the {disfmarker} not the audio ?Grad A: Nope ,they 'll have access to the audio also .PhD C: OK , yeah , yep . Ah .Grad A: I mean that 's my intention . Because the transcripts might not be right .PhD C: Yeah.PhD F: So {disfmarker}Grad A: So you want people to be able to listen to them .PhD C: Yeah .PhD F: So , um the audio that they 're gonna have access to , willthat be the uncompressed version ? Or will you have scripts that like uncompress the various pieces and {disfmarker}Grad A: Oh , that 's a good point . That 's agood point . Yeah , it 's {disfmarker} it 's probably going to have to be the uncompressed versions because , uh , uh , it takes too long to do random accessdecompression .PhD F: Hmm . Yeah , I was just wondering because we 're uh running out of the un - backed - up disk space onGrad A: Well , that was the otherpoint .PhD F: Oh , was that another one ?Grad A: Yep , that 's another agenda item .PhD F: OK . I 'll wait .Grad A: So , uh {disfmarker} But that is a good pointso we 'll get to that , too . Um , DARPA demo status , not much to say . The back - end stuff is working out fine . It 's more or less ready to go . I 've added somestuff that uh indes indexes by the meeting type MR , EDU , et cetera and also by the user ID . So that the front - end can then do filtering based on that as well .Uh {disfmarker} The back - end is uh , going more slowly as I s I think I said before just cuz I 'm not much of a Tcl - TK programmer . And uh Dave Gelbart sayshe 's a little too busy . So I think Don and I are gonna work on that and {disfmarker} and you and I can just talk about it off - line more .Grad E: Right .Grad A:But uh {pause} the back - end was pretty smooth .Professor B: OhGrad A: So I think , we 'll have something . It may not be as {disfmarker} As pretty as wemight like , but we 'll have something .Professor B: I wondered whe when we would reach Dave 's saturation point . He 's sort of been {disfmarker} beenvolunteering for everythingGrad A: Yeah .Professor B: and {pause} and uh {disfmarker}PhD D: Mm - hmm .Professor B: O K . Finally said he was too busy . Iguess we reached it .Grad A: Yeah , he {disfmarker} he actually {disfmarker} he volunteered but then he s then he retracted it . So . Oh well . Um{disfmarker}Grad E: And , also um , I was just showing Andreas , I got um an X Waves kind of display , and I don't know how much more we can do with it{disfmarker} with like the prosodic stuff where we have like stylized pitches and signals and the transcripts on the bottomGrad A: Oh , cool .Grad E: so , rightnow it 's just an X Waves and then you have three windows but I don't know , it looked pretty nice and I 'm sure it {disfmarker} think it has potential for a littlesomething ,Grad A: For a demo ?Grad E: yeah , for a demo .Grad A: Yeah , sounds good .Grad E: So {disfmarker}Professor B: OK , so again , the issue is{disfmarker} For July , the issue 's gonna be what can we fit into a Windows machine , uh , and so on , but {disfmarker}Grad E: Oh . OK .Grad A: So it might justbe slides .Grad E: Yeah , OK .PhD C: Well {disfmarker} {pause} Yeah .Grad E: Well , we 'll see , um {disfmarker}PhD C: I 've been putting together uhTranscriber things for Windows so i And I installed it on Dave Gelbart 's PC and it worked just fine . So hopefully that will work .PhD D: Really ? So is that{disfmarker} Because there 's some people um {disfmarker} It would be cool if we could uh get that to work uh at {disfmarker} at SRIPhD C: Yeah . Yep .PhD D:because the um {disfmarker}Grad A: Well Transcriber is Tcl - TK , very generic with Snack ,PhD D: we have m m We have more Windows machines to run the{disfmarker}PhD C: Yeah .Grad A: so basically anything you can get Snack to run on , it will work .PhD D: Right .PhD C: Yeah . Yeah but {disfmarker} But theproblem is the version Transcriber works with , the Snack version , is one point six whatever and that 's not anymore supported . It 's not on {disfmarker} on theweb page anymore . But I just wrote an email to {disfmarker} to the author of {disfmarker} to the Snack author and he sent me to one point six whateverlibraryGrad A: Well I thought it was packaged with Transcriber ?PhD C: and so it works . Yeah , but then you can't add our patches and then the {disfmarker} thenew version is {disfmarker} is totally differentGrad A: Oh .PhD C: a and in {disfmarker} yeah , in terms of {disfmarker} of the source code .Grad A: Ah .PhD C:You {disfmarker} you can't find the Tcl files anymore . It 's some whatever wrapped thingPhD D: Mmm .PhD C: and you can't {disfmarker} you can't access thatso you have to install {disfmarker} First install Tcl then install Snack and then install the Transcriber thing and then do the patches .Grad A: Patch . Ugh !PhD D: I{disfmarker} I wonder if {disfmarker} if we should contribute our changes back to the authors so that they maintain those changes along {disfmarker}PhD C:Yeah . Yeah .Grad A: We have {disfmarker} Yeah b it 's just hasn't made it into the release yet .PhD D: We have ? Oh . Oh , OK .PhD F: So did you um put the uh{disfmarker} {vocalsound} the NT version out on the uh Meeting Recorder page ? Or {disfmarker}PhD C: No , I haven't done that yet . I 'm {disfmarker} ohNope . But I definitely will do that .Professor B: So , can some of the stuff that Don 's talking about somehow fit into this Uh , mean you just have a set ofnumbers that are associated with the {disfmarker}Grad E: Yeah .PhD C: So {disfmarker}Grad E: Yeah , it 's basically ASCII files or binary files , whateverrepresentation . Just three different {disfmarker} It 's a waveform and just a stylized pitch vector basically so it 's {disfmarker}PhD D: So {disfmarker} So{disfmarker} Well {disfmarker}Grad E: I mean we could do it in Matl - {comment} I mean you could do it in a number of different places I 'm sure .PhD D: But{disfmarker} But it would be cool if the Transcriber interface had like another window for the {disfmarker} you know , maybe above the waveform where it would"}
+{"doc_id":"doc_51","qid":"","text":"Project Manager: Okay um , welcome to our detailed design meeting . I'm pretty excited . Let's start it's approximately fifteen forty or something like that . Okayum the agenda {disfmarker} we're gonna do an opening and then um I'll talk about the minutes from the last meeting , what we d discussed um , then we'll havethe prototype presentation and a look at the evaluation criteria . We'll look at the finances and finally a {disfmarker} do a production evaluation and close . So ,starting off with the um last {disfmarker} the last one , oh I don't have it here um , but we talked about energy , we're gonna use a kinetic battery um , we wantto use a simple chip , because we're not gonna need a a shuffle um , we're gonna need a scroll um , we're choosing a latex case w in fruity colours that's curvedand um we're using push buttons uh with a supplement of an on-screen menu . And it sounded like we had set um like eight or nine buttons , including fivepre-set channels . Okay ? Let's do the look and feel design presentation first .User Interface: Right , do you wanna start ?Industrial Designer: Right , well wemade three different prototypes and I guess we'll start with with this one . Um we have our colours not {disfmarker} are not fixed , but this is the general shape .Um it's {disfmarker} you hold it sort of either like like this in your left hand or you switch it over and uh it's easily adaptable to either hand . You can push thebuttons with your thumb like a mobile phone , or you can push them with your index finger of your other hand , or even {disfmarker} I mean there's a wholevariety , you can hold it like this and press it with your same index finger . Uh we have the on off button at the tip , very visible , very big . We have our up anddown buttons , which are also gonna be our channel selectors , and we have our little menu button here . If you push {disfmarker} if you're just pushing thesenormally , they're the menu buttons , if {disfmarker} uh the volume buttons rather . If you press select once , they become channel changing buttons . If wepress select three times , the menu with the other features and pro possibly also with your T_V_ channel choices shows up , and you have your five presets downhere . Um if people wanna grab hold of that , see how it feels in your hand . That's our number one prototype . Um do you wanna present the potato ,ProjectManager: {gap} like a little lightning in it .Industrial Designer: or shall I present the Martian ?User Interface: Okay ,Project Manager: The little lightning bolt in it ,very cute .User Interface: um {disfmarker} What {disfmarker} We call that one the rhombus ,Marketing: I could {disfmarker}Project Manager: The v therhombus rhombus ?User Interface: uh the rhombus .Industrial Designer: That's the rhombus , yep .User Interface: Um this one is known as the potato , uhit'sIndustrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface: it's a {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}User Interface: how can I present it ? It's an ergonomic shape ,so it it fits in your hand nicely . Um it's designed to be used either in your left hand or or in your right hand . Um I've gone here just for just for four buttons onthis one . Um the two blue buttons here are for adjusting the volume . So you've got volume up and volume down on the other side here . Um the red ones arefor uh changing channels , channel up and channel down and that's um moves between your favourite channels that you've selected . Uh this middle button herebrings up the on-screen menu and when you're working in the on-screen menu you use the other four buttons to navigate around the menu system and themiddle button uh to select and that's basically it , that's the potato .Project Manager: Um on , off ?User Interface: Uh that would be one of your channels ,basically ,Project Manager: Okay .User Interface: so like channel zero would be t to switch switch the machine off ,Project Manager: Yeah we turn it off .UserInterface: yeah .Marketing: Could the middle button of the on-screen menu function as a power button ?User Interface: Um not really ,Industrial Designer:{gap}User Interface: it would make it hard to turn the machine off , to turn your T_V_ off .Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: If you pressed andheld it maybe .User Interface: Yeah yeah , that that'd be one way of doing it , yeah . That'd work , yeah .Marketing: If you like held it down , that would be on off.Industrial Designer: Yeah . On off , that's a possibility , yeah .Project Manager: Okay .Industrial Designer: And then finally we have um the Martian or the pear ,either way . Um it's a bit different , just a little bit more of a creative feel . Uh you have the on off toggle stem on the top . {vocalsound} We have the five presetseeds {vocalsound} .Project Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} And then you have on the sides to make it a little bit morethree-dimensional , you have your channel changing , volume changing buttons and your menu button right here in the middle . So , that's for your considerationas well , plus it's an interesting talking point to have standing up .User Interface: Let's pass .Industrial Designer: We figured it could stand up like this on yourtable , if you wanted it to , if I made the bot the bottom flat . {vocalsound}Project Manager: Uh-huh . {vocalsound}Marketing: Sorry , what's the yellow one inthe middle ,Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Uh the menu select button . {vocalsound}Marketing: I forgot .Project Manager: {gap} Very interesting .{vocalsound} I think that one's my favourite .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface: So that's {disfmarker} So that's our three prototypes . Umbasically , in terms of making decisions , what we'd need to do is first of all decide on a form uh which of the three different shapes we want , then decide whatkind of button layout we want , how many buttons , and then to choose what colours we want to make the buttons and if we wanna put any text on the device ,like label on the buttons or put a brand name or or a logo on it or whatever .Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: We werewe were thinking that normally we'd go for fruity colours , but maybe we're also thinking that your sort of middle aged man , for an example customer , might notwant a fruity coloured remote , so m maybe we'd have one version that's a bit toned down ,Project Manager: Mm 'kay .Industrial Designer: maybe with with lesscontrasts on it . Yeah , something still a little bright to make it hard to lose , but {disfmarker}User Interface: Would {disfmarker} Yeah , but we don't want it tolook like a kids' toy {gap} .Industrial Designer: {gap} yeah .Project Manager: Now that was one thing that we brought up over email . I don't know if you pickedup your email , but um the f the um feature that we considered for it not getting lost .User Interface: Yeah .Industrial Designer: Right . Well we were we weretalking about that a little bit when we got that email and we think that each of these are so distinctive , that it {disfmarker} it's not just like another piece oftechnology around your house . It's gonna be somewhere that it can be seen .Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: So we're we're not thinking thatit's gonna be as critical to have the loss {disfmarker}Marketing: But if it's like under covers or like in a couch you still can't see it .Project Manager: It's really{disfmarker} Would it be very difficult to um just have an external device that like I dunno , you tape to your to your T_V_ um that when you press it you ha alittle light beep goes off ? Do you think that would be conceptually possible ?Industrial Designer: I think {disfmarker}User Interface: I think it would be difficulttechnologically ,Project Manager: Mm-hmm .User Interface: because if your if your remote's lost it's probably under the settee and in that case you can't youcan't send an infrared sing signal to it to find it ,Project Manager: Mm .User Interface: s so it's {disfmarker} I'm not quite sure how it would workProject Manager:That's true , mm 'kay .Industrial Designer: Yeah .User Interface: and then I wonder if it's if it's more just a gimmick then anything else . Uh I mean ho how manytimes do you really , seriously lose your remote control and would would a device like that actually help you to find it ?Industrial Designer: There might besomething that you can do in the circuit board and the chip to make it make a noise or something , but it would take a lot more development than we have thisafternoon .Project Manager: Mm-hmm . Okay , that's a fair evaluation . Getting lost . Um we {disfmarker} so we do we've decided not to worry about that fornow . Okay 'cause {disfmarker} well , the designs are very bright , so you're right , they're gonna stick out , but um {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: So d dopeople have a preference as far as feel and functionality ? Um .Marketing: I feel like this is simil {vocalsound} or it's sort of what already exists so if we're tryingto think of something sort of like new and fun , even though this is like what you're init I'm initially drawn to , just 'cause it's like comfortable and like notdifferent . I sort of like this one , like I I don't know why , it just it's like small but still sort of like cute looking , I dunno . But I also like the b the side buttons onthat one , like I think that's kind of neat .Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Marketing: But I dunno how much any of this has to do with the fashionable , sort of coollooking thing that we also need to focus on {vocalsound} .Project Manager: Could we maybe have like an extra button on the top for on off ? So then w wewouldn't have to have like a dual function ?Industrial Designer: Mm yeah ,User Interface: Yeah , it's possible , yeah , yeah .Marketing: Ah ,Industrial Designer:that's good , that's good .Marketing: there we go .Industrial Designer: Here , stick it on .User Interface: {vocalsound} Put an extra the button on {gap}{vocalsound} .Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Sure .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Um uh why don't we do a product evaluationusing your criteria , if you've developed some ?Marketing: Well do we w {vocalsound} like I think we're supposed to have one that we do it for .Project Manager:Oh okay . Okay .Marketing: That was {vocalsound} {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: So where {disfmarker}Marketing: I was a little vague on what exactly I'msupposed to do , but let me {disfmarker} I have to like write something on the whiteboard , so .Project Manager: Okay . Do you need thisIndustrial Designer:{vocalsound}Project Manager: or just write on the white board ?Marketing: No , I actually don't have like a PowerPointy thing ,Project Manager: Okay .IndustrialDesigner: Right .Marketing: 'cause I think it would be redundant .Industrial Designer: Okay .Marketing: I dunno .Project Manager: It's kind of like uh like ajoystick kind of thing ,Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Ooh .Project Manager: you know ,User Interface: {vocalsound} Cool .Project Manager: kinda push it{vocalsound} .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Hey .Project Manager: 'Kay .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Maybe a little smaller than that{gap} .Industrial Designer: No , I kinda like it .User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: That's hard to miss .User Interface: It makes look more fruity aswell .Project Manager: Oh it does ,Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: it's kind of like {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}"}
+{"doc_id":"doc_52","qid":"","text":"Grad B: So I guess this is more or less now just to get you up to date , Johno . This is what , uh ,Grad C: This is a meeting for me .Grad B: um , Eva , Bhaskara ,and I did .Grad D: Did you add more stuff to it ? {pause} later ?Grad B: Um . Why ?Grad D: Um . I don't know . There were , like , the {disfmarker} you know ,@ @ and all that stuff . But . I thought you {disfmarker} you said you were adding stuffGrad B: Uh , no .Grad D: but {pause} I don't know .Grad B: This is{disfmarker} Um , Ha ! Very nice . Um , so we thought that , {vocalsound} We can write up uh , an element , and {disfmarker} for each of the situation nodesthat we observed in the Bayes - net ? So . What 's the situation like at the entity that is mentioned ? if we know anything about it ? Is it under construction ? Or isit on fire or something {pause} happening to it ? Or is it stable ? and so forth , going all the way um , f through Parking , Location , Hotel , Car , Restroom , @ @{comment} Riots , Fairs , Strikes , or Disasters .Grad C: So is {disfmarker} This is {disfmarker} A situation are {disfmarker} is all the things which can behappening right now ? Or , what is the situation type ?Grad B: That 's basically {pause} just specifying the {disfmarker} the input for the {disfmarker} w what'sGrad C: Oh , I see y Why are you specifying it in XML ?Grad B: Um . Just because it forces us to be specific about the values {pause} here ?Grad C: OK .Grad B:And , also , I mean , this is a {disfmarker} what the input is going to be . Right ? So , we will , uh {disfmarker} This is a schema . This is {disfmarker}Grad C:Well , yeah . I just don't know if this is th l what the {disfmarker} Does {disfmarker} This is what Java Bayes takes ? as a Bayes - net spec ?Grad B: No , becauseI mean if we {disfmarker} I mean we 're sure gonna interface to {disfmarker} We 're gonna get an XML document from somewhere . Right ? And that XMLdocument will say \" We are able to {disfmarker} We were able to observe that w the element , um , @ @ {comment} of the Location that the car is near . \" Sothat 's gonna be {disfmarker} {vocalsound} {comment} Um .Grad C: So this is the situational context , everything in it . Is that what Situation is short for , shisituational context ?Grad B: Yep .Grad C: OK .Grad B: So this is just , again , a an XML schemata which defines a set of possible , uh , permissible XML structures, which we view as input into the Bayes - net . Right ?Grad C: And then we can r {pause} uh possibly run one of them uh transformations ? That put it into theformat that the Bayes n or Java Bayes or whatever wants ?Grad B: Yea - Are you talking {disfmarker} are you talking about the {disfmarker} the structure ?GradC: Well it {disfmarker}Grad B: I mean when you observe a node .Grad C: When you {disfmarker} when you say {pause} the input to the {pause} v Java Bayes ,{comment} it takes a certain format ,Grad B: Um - hmm .Grad C: right ? Which I don't think is this . Although I don't know .Grad B: No , it 's certainly not this .Nuh .Grad C: So you could just {disfmarker} Couldn't you just run a {disfmarker}Grad B: XSL . {comment} Yeah .Grad C: Yeah . To convert it into the JavaBayes for format ?Grad B: Yep .Grad C: OK .Grad B: That 's {disfmarker} That 's no problem , but I even think that , um {disfmarker} I mean , once{disfmarker} Once you have this sort of as {disfmarker} running as a module {disfmarker} Right ? What you want is {disfmarker} You wanna say , \" OK , giveme the posterior probabilities of the Go - there {pause} node , when this is happening . \" Right ? When the person said this , the car is there , it 's raining , andthis is happening . And with this you can specify the {disfmarker} what 's happening in the situation , and what 's happening with the user . So we get{disfmarker} After we are done , through the Situation we get the User Vector . So , this is a {disfmarker}Grad C: So this is just a specification of all the possibleinputs ?Grad B: Yep . And , all the possible outputs , too . So , we have , um , for example , the , uh , Go - there decision nodeGrad C: OK .Grad B: which has twoelements , going - there and its posterior probability , and not - going - there and its posterior probability , because the output is always gonna be all the decisionnodes and all the {disfmarker} the {disfmarker} a all the posterior probabilities for all the values .Grad C: And then we would just look at the , eh , Struct that wewanna look at in terms of if {disfmarker} if we 're only asking about one of the {disfmarker} So like , if I 'm just interested in the going - there node , I wouldjust pull that information out of the Struct that gets return that would {disfmarker} that Java Bayes would output ?Grad B: Um , pretty much , yes , but I think it's a little bit more complex . As , if I understand it correctly , it always gives you all the posterior probabilities for all the values of all decision nodes . So , whenwe input something , we always get the , uh , posterior probabilities for all of these . Right ?Grad C: OK .Grad B: So there is no way of telling it t not to tell usabout the EVA {pause} values .Grad C: Yeah , wait I agree , that 's {disfmarker} yeah , use {disfmarker} oh , uh {pause} Yeah , OK .Grad B: So {disfmarker}so we get this whole list of {disfmarker} of , um , things , and the question is what to do with it , what to hand on , how to interpret it , in a sense . So y you saidif you {disfmarker} \" I 'm only interested in whether he wants to go there or not \" , then I just look at that node , look which one {disfmarker}Grad C: Look atthat Struct in the output ,Grad B: Yep .Grad C: right ?Grad B: Look at that Struct in the {disfmarker} the output , even though I wouldn't call it a \" Struct \" . But.Grad C: Well i well , it 's an XML Structure that 's being res returned ,Grad B: Oh . Mm - hmm .Grad C: right ?Grad B: So every part of a structure is a \" Struct \" .Yeah .Grad C: Yeah , I just uh {disfmarker} I just was {disfmarker} abbreviated it to Struct in my head , and started going with that .Grad B: That element orobject , I would say .Grad C: Not a C Struct . That 's not what I was trying to kGrad B: Yeah .Grad C: though yeah .Grad B: OK . And , um , the reason is{disfmarker} why I think it 's a little bit more complex or why {disfmarker} why we can even think about it as an interesting problem in and of itself is{disfmarker} Um . So . The , uh {disfmarker} Let 's look at an example .Grad C: Well , w wouldn't we just take the structure that 's outputted and then runanother transformation on it , that would just dump the one that we wanted out ?Grad B: Yeah . w We 'd need to prune . Right ? Throw things away .Grad C: Well, actually , you don't even need to do that with XML .Grad B: NoGrad C: D Can't you just look at one specific {disfmarker}Grad B: Yeah , exactly . The{disfmarker} @ @ {comment} Xerxes allows you to say , u \" Just give me the value of that , and that , and that . \" But , we don't really know what we 'reinterested in {pause} before we look at the complete {disfmarker} at {disfmarker} at the overall result . So the person said , um , \" Where is X ? \" and so , wewant to know , um , is {disfmarker} Does he want info ? o on this ? or know the location ? Or does he want to go there ? Let 's assume this is our {disfmarker}our question .Grad C: Sure .Grad B: Nuh ? So . Um . Do this in Perl . So we get {disfmarker} OK . Let 's assume this is the output . So . We should con be able toconclude from that that {disfmarker} I mean . It 's always gonna give us a value of how likely we think i it is that he wants to go there and doesn't want to gothere , or how likely it is that he wants to get information . But , maybe w we should just reverse this to make it a little bit more delicate . So , does he wannaknow where it is ? or does he wanna go there ?Grad C: He wants to know where it is .Grad B: Right . I {disfmarker} I {disfmarker} I tend to agree . And if it 's{disfmarker} If {disfmarker}Grad C: Well now , y I mean , you could {disfmarker}Grad B: And i if there 's sort of a clear winner here , and , um {disfmarker}and this is pretty , uh {disfmarker} indifferent , then we {disfmarker} then we might conclude that he actually wants to just know where , uh t uh , he does wantto go there .Grad C: Uh , out of curiosity , is there a reason why we wouldn't combine these three nodes ? into one smaller subnet ? that would just basically be{pause} the question for {disfmarker} We have \" where is X ? \" is the question , right ? That would just be Info - on or Location ? Based upon {disfmarker}GradB: Or Go - there . A lot of people ask that , if they actually just wanna go there . People come up to you on campus and say , \" Where 's the library ? \" You 'regonna say {disfmarker} y you 're gonna say , g \" Go down that way . \" You 're not gonna say \" It 's {disfmarker} It 's five hundred yards away from you \" or \" It's north of you \" , or {disfmarker} \" it 's located {disfmarker} \"Grad C: Well , I mean {disfmarker} But the {disfmarker} there 's {disfmarker} So you just havethree decisions for the final node , that would link thes these three nodes in the net together .Grad B: Um . I don't know whether I understand what you mean .But . Again , in this {disfmarker} Given this input , we , also in some situations , may wanna postulate an opinion whether that person wants to go there now thenicest way , use a cab , or so s wants to know it {disfmarker} wants to know where it is because he wants something fixed there , because he wants to visit t it orwhatever . So , it {disfmarker} n I mean {disfmarker} a All I 'm saying is , whatever our input is , we 're always gonna get the full output . And some{disfmarker} some things will always be sort of too {disfmarker} not significant enough .Grad C: Wha Or i or i it 'll be tight . You won't {disfmarker} it 'll be hardto decide .Grad B: Yep .Grad C: But I mean , I guess {disfmarker} I guess the thing is , uh , this is another , smaller , case of reasoning in the case of anuncertainty , which makes me think Bayes - net should be the way to solve these things . So if you had {disfmarker} If for every construction ,Grad B: Oh !GradC: right ? you could say , \" Well , there {disfmarker} Here 's the Where - Is construction . \" And for the Where - Is construction , we know we need to l look atthis node , that merges these three things togetherGrad B: Mm - hmm .Grad C: as for th to decide the response . And since we have a finite number ofconstructions that we can deal with , we could have a finite number of nodes .Grad B: OK .

Welcome to meeting number 22 of the House of Commons SpecialCommittee on the COVID-19 Pandemic. A reminder to all members that in order to avoid issues with sound, members participating in person should not also beconnected to the video conference. For those joining via video conference, I would like to remind you that, when speaking, you should be on the same channel asthe language you are speaking. As usual, please direct your remarks through the chair. I understand we don't have any ministerial announcements today, so we'llproceed to presenting petitions. I would like to remind members that any petition presented during a meeting of the special committee must have already beencertified by the clerk of petitions. For members participating in person, we ask that they please come and drop the signed certificate off at the table once thepetition is presented. The first petition will be presented by Ms.May.Ms. Elizabeth May (SaanichGulf Islands, GP): Mr. Chair, it's an honour to rise in meetingnumber 22 of the COVID-19 committee, otherwise known as something like the House of Commons. I'm here to present two petitions containing hundreds ofsignatures on the issue of the treatment of Falun Gong practitioners by the People's Republic of China, particularly the practice that's alleged of involuntary organharvesting. The petitioners ask the Government of Canada to condemn this practice and to publicly call for an end to the persecution of Falun Gong in the People'sRepublic of China. The second petition is from residents throughout SaanichGulf Islands concerned about what was, at the time this petition was submitted, afuture problem. It remains an issue, and I present it on behalf of petitioners who wish the Government of Canada not to put public funds into purchasing ormaintaining the Trans Mountain pipeline or towards any expansion of the pipeline.The Chair: Next we'll go to Ms. Kwan.Ms. Jenny Kwan (Vancouver East, NDP):Mr. Chair, I rise to table two petitions. The first petition deals with the COVID-19 situation. The petitioners note the pandemic is having a devastating impact onmany Canadians nationwide, especially those who have low to modest income, small business gig workers, freelancers, artists, film industry workers, non-salariedworkers and individuals on fixed incomes such as seniors and those on disability. It further notes that rent, mortgage and utility payments are due at the end ofeach month, putting countless Canadians at risk of losing their housing. It is paramount there be safe self-isolation opportunities for all individuals in this country.To that end, the petitioners are calling for the government to immediately enact a nationwide rent freeze, eviction freeze, mortgage freeze and utility freeze,enforce mortgage deferrals for homeowners without penalty or interest charges from financial institutions and provide direct assistance in the form of a monthly,universal, direct payment of $2,000 per month for all, with an additional $250 per child immediately. The second petition deals with the Trans Mountain pipelineexpansion. These petitioners join the hundreds of thousands of people who are opposed to the expansion. Trans Mountain, in building the pipeline, brings massiveenvironmental and economic risk with no substantial benefit to British Columbia or to local residents. Approximately 40,000 barrels of oil have already leakedfrom existing Kinder Morgan pipelines, including two major spills in Burnaby since 2007. I might note, Mr. Chair, that just this past weekend there was yetanother spill to the tune of 1,195 barrels here in British Columbia. There is no known scientific technology to clean up the bitumen when there is a spill, and thenumber of tankers would go from eight to 34 per month into the Burrard Inlet. It puts at risk many residential neighbourhoods and the traditional territories of atleast 15 first nations.The Chair: May I interrupt for a moment, Ms. Kwan. I want to remind all members in the House that when presenting a petition, the idea isto be as concise as possible. Ms. Kwan, I'll let you wrap up, please.Ms. Jenny Kwan: Thank you, Mr. Chair. The petitioners are calling for the government toimmediately act to prevent this new oil pipeline from proceeding through British Columbia.The Chair: Thank you. We'll now go to Mr. Genuis.Mr. Garnett Genuis(Sherwood ParkFort Saskatchewan, CPC): Mr. Chair, I have four petitions to present today. The first petition reflects the outrage of my constituents at theever-expanding order in council from the government banning more and more firearms. In particular, the petitioners highlight the failure of the government to acton the issue of illegal guns. The petitioners note that virtually all violent crimes committed in Canada, including the recent shooting in Nova Scotia, involve illegalfirearms in the hands of those who are already not permitted to possess them. The petition has two asks. First of all, it asks that we reverse the order in councilbanning certain firearms, but also that we propose measures that will effectively address the illegal use of firearms by criminals while respecting the rights oflaw-abiding citizens. It also asks that we ensure that substantial changes to firearms laws in future actually be made by Parliament, not by the government actingin an unaccountable manner. The second petition deals with Bill C-8, which is the government's bill around conversion therapy. The petitioners support efforts toban conversion therapy. They express concern about problems in the wording of the definition used in the legislation. They're asking the government to supportamendments to fix the definition to address the issue of conversion therapy and ensure that the definition is correct and doesn't criminalize certain forms ofcounselling that individuals may voluntarily enter into. The third petition is regarding Bill S-204, a bill in the Senate that seeks to make it a criminal offence for aperson to go abroad to receive an organ without consent, dealing especially with the horrific practice of forced organ harvesting and trafficking in China. Thepetitioners are supportive of Bill S-204 and want to see it move forward. The final petition is with respect to Bill C-7. There's been much discussion in this Houseabout the need to do better in terms of long-term care. Rather than working to do better in long-term care, unfortunately we've seen the government removingvital safeguards in the area of euthanasia. I think our focus should be on assisting life rather than removing safeguards that are required in association with theeuthanasia regime. The petitioners are particularly concerned about the government's plan to remove a 10-day reflection period that normally takes place. Thatperiod can already be waived under certain circumstances, but Bill C-7 proposes to remove it entirely as well as reduce the number of witnesses involved. Thepetitioners are quite concerned about what's going on in Bill C-7 and call for it to be stopped or amended.The Chair: Presenting petitions. We'll proceed tostatements by members. We'll start off with Mr. Manly.Mr. Paul Manly (NanaimoLadysmith, GP): Mr. Chair, we are in the midst of a global pandemic and aneconomic shock. Recent events have ripped open the wound of systemic racism in our country. Racialized and marginalized communities have beendisproportionally affected by the pandemic. Thousands of seniors in long-term care facilities have died. It is clear that we need system change. In the past,governments have bailed out banks and corporations because they were too big to fail. It is time to bail out humanity and the planet. No one will be immune fromthe threat of climate change and mass extinction. Both are the result of the exploitation of the natural world in the name of the economy. Humans created theeconomy. We can choose to change it. We must protect our environment or perish. COVID-19 has demonstrated that together we can take courageous action forthe common good. We need to do the same for the climate crisis, because humanity and our planet are too big to fail.The Chair: We'll now go to Mr.Spengemann.Mr. Sven Spengemann (MississaugaLakeshore, Lib.): Mr. Speaker, today marks World Elder Abuse Awareness Day. Underestimated andunder-reported, elder abuse exists across the world. At risk of neglect and assault, many of the most vulnerable older persons reside in our long-term carefacilities. They are the seniors who have built our country and shaped our communities, who have shown us resilience, courage and selflessness, who have madeus stronger, and whose work and teachings continue to inspire us. They are parents and grandparents, brothers and sisters, friends and mentors. We have notbeen there for them in the same way they've been there for us throughout their lives. The Canadian Forces report, alongside the climbing disproportionate deathtoll in our long-term care facilities, has reconfirmed the ugly, indefensible reality of elder abuse and neglect in Canada. In my community, we mourn the deaths of68 seniors from one long-term care facility alone, Camilla Care. We must make the same unwavering commitment to older persons as they have shown to us. Wemust protect and uphold their human rights. We must do better.The Chair: Before proceeding, I just want to bring up to the members in the background that wewant to keep it as simple and as parliamentary as possible in keeping it neutral. We'll now move to Mr. Barrett.Mr. Michael Barrett (LeedsGrenvilleThousandIslands and Rideau Lakes, CPC): During these trying times, the residents of LeedsGrenvilleThousand Islands and Rideau Lakes have risen to the challenge.They've made sacrifices and gone above and beyond to make the lives of their neighbours better and to keep our communities safe. It would be impossible to listeveryone who has emerged as a community hero, but I'd like to highlight a few, like Lily, an eight-year-old from Elgin who raised funds for her local food bank bybuilding and selling squirrel picnic tables, and Louise Boardman from Spencerville who's making masks for long-term care facilities and selling others in support ofthe Breast Cancer Action centre. The Knights of Columbus in Prescott raised funds and are distributing some $27,000 in support of charitable groups throughoutthe region. The Knights of Columbus in Kemptville are working overtime operating the local food bank. Who can forget our top-notch health care workers likeHannah and Mary at the Brockville COVID-19 testing centre? It is the people of LeedsGrenvilleThousand Islands and Rideau Lakes that make it so great. Toeveryone working to make a difference and to all of our essential workers, thank you.The Chair: Next is Mr. Anandasangaree.Mr. Gary Anandasangaree(ScarboroughRouge Park, Lib.): Mr. Chair, the Indian Act enshrined racism into Canadian law in 1876, and, through residential schools, the child welfare system,our legal system and our police, we criminalized and tore apart indigenous peoples. The deaths of Chantel Moore and Rodney Levi and the assault on Chief AllanAdam are recent examples of systemic racism within the RCMP. Sadly, the RCMP leadership has failed to acknowledge this reality and its root causes. These samesystems negatively impact black Canadians. Anti-black racism has resulted in more young black men being jailed, children being streamed or excluded from"}

Um {disfmarker}Marketing: I just love you tech guys , huh .Industrial Designer: Yeahthere's a thingy and a dingy and {disfmarker}Project Manager: {vocalsound} You press this and it does thUser Interface: Well {vocalsound}{disfmarker}Marketing: {vocalsound} Yeah y do jabber {vocalsound}User Interface: so you've got {disfmarker} here's here's a transistor , and this amplifiesyour signal ,Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface: um you've got the L_E_D_ here on the end of the uh uh on the end of the printed circuit board . Umyou've got a couple diodes here for I don't know who and whatnot {vocalsound} .Project Manager: {vocalsound} I dunno who and whatnot .User Interface: So{disfmarker} {vocalsound} exactly .Industrial Designer: Nah .User Interface: So um we've got a {disfmarker} i in this in this uh drawing he uh in this examplehere , this is a eighteen pin um uh chip {vocalsound} I dunno .Marketing: P Yeah .User Interface: Uh it's two double A_ batteries .Industrial Designer:{vocalsound}User Interface: This is pretty standard remote . So here are options for our power sources . You can use a basic battery , which we've alreadydiscussed , um {vocalsound} th our tech department also said we have the option of doing some kind of hand dynamo where maybe you crank it or somethinglike that .Project Manager: {vocalsound} 'Kay . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} I wanna change that {vocalsound} .User Interface: I don't knowif that's really {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound} I I gotta I gotta flashlight , and uh {disfmarker}User Interface: I don't know we got some qu crazy guysdown there in that department so {vocalsound} {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Okay .User Interface: You shake it .Marketing:yeah but it's interesting 'cause you shake it like this {vocalsound} .User Interface: {vocalsound} Yeah .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: Like this{vocalsound} .User Interface: So that's the next bullet is the um the kinetic provision of energy ,Marketing: And that's on the camera {vocalsound} .IndustrialDesigner: {vocalsound}User Interface: so it's like that flashlight where you have to shake it {vocalsound} .Marketing: Yeah .Project Manager: 'Kay .UserInterface: Uh we've got solar cells , which I don't think is a very good idea because um you could not use your remote at night {vocalsound} which doesn't makea lot of sense .Project Manager: Mm 'kay .User Interface: And finally we've got our cradle o our power cradle idea .Project Manager: Okay so we basically havebattery versus cradle here ?User Interface: M battery versus cradle I think is {disfmarker} yeah .Project Manager: Okay .Industrial Designer: I like the kinetic.Project Manager: So we have battery versus cradle {vocalsound} {disfmarker}Marketing: I g I I figured you would . Yes . {vocalsound} Yeah .User Interface: Itcould be fun {vocalsound} .Project Manager: It's actually a novel thing because you could sell it a as a novelty , just to be actually serious for a minute here ,UserInterface: Yeah .Project Manager: you could {disfmarker}User Interface: Well it is it is more uh {disfmarker} I mean it is more eco-friendly than the than thecradle 'cause you're still using power off the grid with the cradle . So umProject Manager: Mm . Hmm .User Interface: our case design . We have uh choices inmaterials and choices in the general shapes that we can do . Our material choices are a plastic latex um ty or plastic , a rubber latex type thing , uh wood , ortitanium . If we go with titanium we're gonna be uh limited in the amount of shapes we can do because it's tough to shape the titanium , and uh {disfmarker}Yeah persProject Manager: Wood wood would ge would give us a little bit of a marketing niche , wouldn't it .User Interface: I think wood i{vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound} It it it {disfmarker}Project Manager: Nah .User Interface: I I can't see anybody wanting to use a wooden remote , it's justanti-technology really , you know .Marketing: Uh .Project Manager: Okay . Hmm .Marketing: Uh uh to me in a marketing sense it's not it's not relative . We canwe can o we can uh accentuate whatever {disfmarker} whatever product you put in there we can find a way to accentuate it .User Interface: Right .ProjectManager: Okay .User Interface: And what we may be able to do , and I think this might be the best option is to combine some {disfmarker} a couple of these .Um my recommendation personally would be to do some kind of a plastic inner shell with a like a rubber outer shell , to make it um to mak uh like a thick plasticinner shell and a t um kind of a {disfmarker} to have that rubber outer shell to make it more durable , and also maybe i I think it feels a little better than theplastic .Project Manager: 'Kay . Do you get a good grip on the rubber ? Yeah okay . {vocalsound}User Interface: Yeah um {disfmarker}Marketing: And if youmake it from that super rubber , when you drop it on the floor it can bounce right back up in your hand .User Interface: Yeah .Marketing: You don't even need tolean down to get it .User Interface: The advantages of working with plastic and rubber is {disfmarker} w we we'll have a lot more um options just in terms ofshapeIndustrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}User Interface: because you can extrude plastic in basically any shape you want . So um{disfmarker} and then we can cover you know the breakable bits with rubber yeah so um {disfmarker}Project Manager: Okay .User Interface: But basically theseare {vocalsound} curved and double-curved I I believe that the tech department , in their um {vocalsound} in their {vocalsound} message to me , that theywere referring to the number of th curves in the bottom . I have no idea exactly what they're talking about ,Project Manager: Okay .User Interface: but that'swhat they told me , {vocalsound} uncurved , flat , curved , or double-curved .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface: I would guess this like this penwould be kinda like a double-curved , where it's curved on m m multiple axes , right ? I think curved means just curved in one axis and double-curved is curved intwo axesProject Manager: Okay .User Interface: or surfaces . I have no idea .Project Manager: I think it might mean something like that sorta shape because adouble curve rather than a {disfmarker}Marketing: Mm-hmm yeah that's {disfmarker} yeah that's what I see .Project Manager: yeah that's what {gap} .UserInterface: Oh okay oh like a wave , okay .Marketing: Yeah that's what I see also .User Interface: Alright that makes sense okay . Um okay , with the interface wehave the following options , we can u we can use push buttons , we can use a scroll wheel with an integrated push button , and L_C_D_ display ,Marketing: Ooh.User Interface: or multiple scrolling wheels . Um so these are all options that the user interface guy can uh {disfmarker} has at his disposal to put together auser interface .Project Manager: Okay .User Interface: For electronics , we have these very technical um {vocalsound} descriptions here . A simple chip , which isthe least expensive , but I have no numbers to give you ,Project Manager: {vocalsound}User Interface: a regular chip , which is {vocalsound} like the mediumporridge {disfmarker} the {vocalsound} medium expense uh {disfmarker}Project Manager: {vocalsound} D do we have actually any concept of what thedifference is between a simple chip and an advanced chip ?User Interface: Yes the difference is , with a simple chip {disfmarker} a simple chip will operate{disfmarker} oh why doesn't this scroll up ? Previous previous , okay . A simple chip is required to operate push buttons .Project Manager: Okay .User Interface:Um {vocalsound} an advanced chip is required to to operate um the L_C_D_ display , and it didn't say specifically , but I I have a hunch that a regular chip isgonna be the scroll wheel and the multiple scroll wheels .Project Manager: Okay .User Interface: So but yeah .Project Manager: Yeah that makes sense . Sopresentation from {disfmarker} I guess design would go best . Next .User Interface: That's the end of my presentation .Project Manager: Technical functions or"}

We'll have to flesh out some of the uhstuff . Um we'll start with the minutes of the last meeting . Not a lot thankfully to say . We introduced ourselves , discussed the possibility of a macro facility ,interac interacting the T_V_ a bit more , um mentioning of bar-code , joystick for user manipulation , um and ergonomics of the remote control as well . Um it'scome to my attention the following . Teletext has become outdated due to the populat popularity of the internet . Remote control should only be used for theT_V_ . Um due for uh time to market and possibly also cost issues . Um also key is the corporate image should stay recognisable , um f uh your colour and sloganof course is down at the bottom there . Um . Now . Just to say quickly uh I would have thought that only being used for a television the macro facility may nownot be required .User Interface: Mm .Project Manager: Um or at l its functionality would have been of limited use . So to the point in my opinion anyway that itmight not be worth pursuing . Um if anybody disagrees we can uh definitely say so . Um and hopefully we'll just crack on and we'll get everything going . Um I'dlike to if possible hear from our Marketing Expert first , to help us gain an idea of where we're going to go .Marketing: 'Kay .Project Manager: So um I'll just loadup your presentation from here if you want .Marketing: Sure . Um , sh would you like to {vocalsound} I'll just do it from here .Project Manager: Yep . Sorry . Uh .Is yours the {disfmarker}Marketing: Um , try second one maybe . Try it , yeah maybe .Project Manager: Oh sorry . Okay , right .Marketing: Yeah . Okay . Oh , Ithought I put in my last name , I guess not , but {gap} .Project Manager: Uh if you {disfmarker} that's all right . If you {disfmarker} do you want me to justcycle through it for you or ?Marketing: Okay . {vocalsound} Oh yeah , that'd be fine , that'd be great .Project Manager: Yeah ?Marketing: Okay . Functionalrequirement by me Ebenezer . {vocalsound}Project Manager: Okay .Marketing: Okay , so um we did some research , we asked one hundred people their opinionson remote controls . We asked some uh open ended questions , just , what are your opinions on the remote control , got a lot of re responses , and we askedsome very specific questions , and we got a lot of good feedback . Please bear in mind this is only a hundred people , so even when the groups are divided intofifteen to twenty five , twenty five to thirty five , there's only maybe ten people {vocalsound} fifteen people in each group .Project Manager: Okay .Marketing:Okay . {vocalsound} So we got {disfmarker} some the bad stuff we got , remotes are often lost . I often lose my remote control , the back of the couch , someplace , and even if it's not lost permanently , it takes me a few minutes to find it . {vocalsound} Most buttons are not used any more , like you said , teletext isoutdated now . I remember trying to load a D_V_D_ player recently , and there were so many buttons , it took me I don't know maybe ten minutes to to gothrough each button , 'cause you have to press the shift button to access the yellow buttons , you know there's just a lot of stuff that no one really uses . And ifthey do , not very often . Takes too long to master the remote control . I've seen some remote controls that are big , they have a lot of buttons , you have to holddown more than one key at one time to do something , they're just not great to use . We just got a lot of bad complaints about remote controls , people do notlike remote controls . Some of the good stuff we got . Between the age of uh fifteen and twenty five , most people would be willing to pay extra for voicerecognition software . Now don't get excited yet , I've got more to say on that . Most people'd be willing to pay for that um most people want remote controls tobe pretty , they want it to be fancy , th they they want it to be different , everybody has a white remote control with black buttons , and a red button and a greenbutton , not everybody wants that . {vocalsound} {vocalsound} Finally , my opinion .Project Manager: Yep .Marketing: The voice recognition thing is cool . Anduh voice recognition , the software , open source software exist already . It's a bit sketchy at some times , uh , you're not gonna get good always accurate results, but for a very fixed number of words , you know you have , how many different words can you have for a remote control , up , down , left , right , channel five ,channel seven , you know , how many , you can't have that many words . For a fixed vocabulary it works quite well . I'm pretty sure people would buy it . Butafter a while people may wanna return it , because {vocalsound} if you have to to say som I mean most people use a remote control for switching to channels ,and they say they do that about ninety eight percent of the time . Using the remote control , ninety eight percent of the time for changing channels , and that'sfor flickering through channels . So if you have to say up , up , up , up , if you have to do that all the time , then people might get a bit fed up with that and theymay return it . {vocalsound} However , {vocalsound} oh , because the voice recognition software exists already , there's no need to spend money on researchand development , but this does mean the need for microphones in the in the remote control , which is an unusual feature in my opinion . But if we do have thevoice recognition thing , there's a lot of stuff that you can uh get rid of . See , you could {disfmarker} there're two options . Either you have voice recognition byitself , which I think is a bit impractical for like night time if you wanna be watching television and you wanna be quiet , or I don't know you have a visitor cominground and the remote's only trained for you , it's a bit impractical to have just voice recognition by itself . So you can have voice recognition and a regular remote. But imagine you got rid of the regular remote part , then you can design the remote to look any way you want it to look , because there are no restrictions onphysical size , or shape , it it could be as fancy as you want it to be , you know , it could be like a lollipop or something like that , something weird like that . Aslong as the voice recognition stuff works , that's that's fine .Project Manager: Okay , yep .Marketing: So we have the three birds , we have the design , that{vocalsound} we have the the fancy bit , right , the voice recognition's fancy , it's cool , it's different , it's radical , so , and then we have an extra bit I don'tremember {vocalsound} so I'm pretty sure people will buy the remote , but is it practical to have a voice recognition system in a remote control , I think is a bigquestion . Um , will people will people be willing to wait for the the period that it'll take to train the remote , 'cause I think it will the remote will uh get better overtime with the same user user , but for the first week or for the first two weeks are you willing to wait , are you willing to have a bad remote control .{vocalsound} And uh what if you have visitors come round , they stay the night , they wanna use the T_V_ , they can't use the remote because they speakdifferently to you . Um , how do you account for regional accents and stuff like that . Uh , will people return the remote control , {vocalsound} I think a lot ofyoung people will buy the remote control , if they have the money , you know , so ,Project Manager: Mm-hmm . If you could uhMarketing: do our audience havethe money , but would they return it after a while because it's not as fast as pressing a button , it's not a practical . So . These are things I think we shouldconsider .Project Manager: sorMarketing: I think it's cool ,Project Manager: if you could speed it up a bit , yeah . If you could uh speed it up a bit please , yeah.Marketing: I'm sorry ? Sure .Project Manager: Sorry .Marketing: I'm about to end , yeah .Project Manager: Cool .Marketing: I think it's cool but there aredefinitely some considerations .Project Manager: Okay . Excellent .Marketing: So , yeah .Project Manager: Right . Um . Hear from the {vocalsound} UserInterface Designer now I think might be an idea .User Interface: Okay .Project Manager: Um , you've got your presentation now ,Industrial Designer:{vocalsound} How did {disfmarker} where did {disfmarker}User Interface: Yeah , it's in the it's in the folderProject Manager: is it on the {disfmarker}IndustrialDesigner: where did you get all your in information {gap} ?User Interface: yeah .Project Manager: is it ?

Yeah . Okay .User Interface: Okay , this is a {vocalsound} brief run through of the um of the technical functions of the remote . As um is uh the the thepresentation is uh already slightly obsolete because I {vocalsound} had in mind something that would uh be i be aimed at controlling multiple devices but uhthere's still stuff of relevance , soProject Manager: Okay .User Interface: press on . I've looked at {vocalsound} looked at a num {vocalsound} uh couple of otheruh remote control models just for an idea of basic design principles . Um and wasn't really satisfied by what I saw I have to say so this is more sort of springboardfor uh how these could be improved on . {vocalsound} Um um basically the job of the device is to send commands to an appliance , in this case the television set. Um to save you getting off your backside . Um and there's two main trends in th in the sort of design practice . On the one hand {disfmarker} and this uh thisparticularly relates to its sort of earliest models where with you know i so so many buttons on it so about the size of the television set . Um giving you everypossible function that the that the device has , the remote control controls . And most of these functions are not going to be used , it creates a rather userunfriendly interface . And on the other hand there's a user focused approach that pares things down to just what {vocalsound} what is most likely to get used .Um {vocalsound} With uh {disfmarker} a and a and of course there is a certain amount of sort of loss of function here obviously , but mostly that's relativelyperipheral functions . And so you go for something that's fairly intuitive to use , and um well f the for the most part for T_V_ remote it's uh tha that would bechannel control and volume . Um and if you {vocalsound} if you if you are wanting to incorporate uh control of a D_V_ {vocalsound} D_V_D_ or uh {vocalsound}V_C_R_ presumably into that then there's a play , pause , stop , rewind , fast-forward , record , so forth . Um . My own view is that we should definitely be goingfor a user focused design . Um but uh the pro {vocalsound} I think the problem with a lot of the sort of user focused designs that are about is that they sort of"}

Summary of experimentssince , well , since last weekProfessor D: Oh . OK .PhD A: and also since the {disfmarker} we 've started to run {disfmarker} work on this . Um . {pause} Sosince last week we 've started to fill the column with um {vocalsound} uh features w with nets trained on PLP with on - line normalization but with delta also ,because the column was not completely {disfmarker}Professor D: Mm - hmm . Mm - hmm .

Uh {pause} I don't know . If you take um , let 's say , anyway Aurora - two - B , so , the next {disfmarker} t the second , uh , part of thetable ,Professor D: Mm - hmm .PhD A: uh {pause} when we use the large training set using French , Spanish , and English , you have one hundred and sixwithout delta and eighty - nine with the delta .Professor D: a And again all of these numbers are with a hundred percent being , uh , the baseline performance,PhD A: Yeah , on the baseline , yeah . So {disfmarker}Professor D: but with a mel cepstra system going straight into the HTK ?PhD A: Yeah . Yeah . So now wesee that the gap between the different training set is much {pause} uh uh much smallerProfessor D: Yes .PhD A: um {disfmarker}Grad C: It 's out of the way.PhD A: But , actually , um , for English training on TIMIT is still better than the other languages . And  Mmm , {pause} Yeah . And f also for Italian , actually . Ifyou take the second set of experiment for Italian , so , the mismatched condition ,Professor D: Mm - hmm .PhD A: um {pause} when we use the training onTIMIT so , it 's multi - English , we have a ninety - one number ,Professor D: Mm - hmm .PhD A: and training with other languages is a little bit worse .ProfessorD: Um {disfmarker} Oh , I see . Down near the bottom of this sheet .PhD A: So ,Professor D: Uh , {comment} {pause} yes .PhD A: yeah .Professor D: OK .PhDA: And , yeah , and here the gap is still more important between using delta and not using delta . If y if I take the training s the large training set , it 's{disfmarker} we have one hundred and seventy - two ,Professor D: Yes .PhD A: and one hundred and four when we use delta .Professor D: Yeah .PhD A: Uh .{pause} Even if the contexts used is quite the same ,Professor D: Mm - hmm .PhD A: because without delta we use seventeenths {disfmarker} seventeen frames. Uh . Yeah , um , so the second point is that we have no single cross - language experiments , uh , that we did not have last week . Uh , so this is training the neton French only , or on English only , and testing on Italian .Professor D: Mm - hmm .PhD A: And training the net on French only and Spanish only and testing on ,uh TI - digits .Professor D: Mm - hmm .PhD A: And , fff {comment} um , yeah . What we see is that these nets are not as good , except for the multi - English ,which is always one of the best . Yeah , then we started to work on a large dat database containing , uh , sentences from the French , from the Spanish , from theTIMIT , from SPINE , uh from {comment} uh English digits , and from Italian digits . So this is the {disfmarker} another line {disfmarker} another set of lines inthe table . Uh , @ @ with SPINEProfessor D: Ah , yes . Mm - hmm .PhD A: and {pause} uh , actually we did this before knowing the result of all the data , uh , sowe have to to redo the uh {disfmarker} the experiment training the net with , uh PLP , but with delta . ButProfessor D: Mm - hmm .PhD A: um this {disfmarker}this net performed quite well . Well , it 's {disfmarker} it 's better than the net using French , Spanish , and English only . Uh . So , uh , yeah . We have alsostarted feature combination experiments . Uh many experiments using features and net outputs together . And this is {disfmarker} The results are on the otherdocument . Uh , we can discuss this after , perhaps {disfmarker} well , just , @ @ . Yeah , so basically there are four {disfmarker} four kind of systems . The firstone , yeah , is combining , um , two feature streams , uh using {disfmarker} and each feature stream has its own MPL . So it 's the {disfmarker} kind of similarto the tandem that was proposed for the first . The multi - stream tandem for the first proposal . The second is using features and KLT transformed MLP outputs .And the third one is to u use a single KLT trans transform features as well as MLP outputs . Um , yeah . Mmm . You know you can {disfmarker} you can commentthese results ,PhD B: Yes , I can s I would like to say that , for example , um , mmm , if we doesn't use the delta - delta , uh we have an improve when we use ssome combination . But whenPhD A: Yeah , we ju just to be clear , the numbers here are uh recognition accuracy .PhD B: w Yeah , this {disfmarker} Yeah , thisnumber recognition accPhD A: So it 's not the {disfmarker} {vocalsound} Again we switch to another {disfmarker}PhD B: Yes , and the baseline {disfmarker}the baseline have {disfmarker} i is eighty - two .Professor D: Baseline is eighty - two .PhD B: YeahPhD A: So it 's experiment only on the Italian mismatched forthe moment for this .Professor D: Uh , this is Italian mismatched .PhD A: Um .PhD B: Yeah , by the moment .PhD A: Mm - hmm .Professor D: OK .PhD B: Andfirst in the experiment - one I {disfmarker} I do {disfmarker} I {disfmarker} I use different MLP ,Professor D: Mm - hmm .PhD B: and is obviously that the multi- English MLP is the better . Um . for the ne {disfmarker} rest of experiment I use multi - English , only multi - English . And I try to combine different type offeature , but the result is that the MSG - three feature doesn't work for the Italian database because never help to increase the accuracy .PhD A: Yeah , eh ,actually , if w we look at the table , the huge table , um , we see that for TI - digits MSG perform as well as the PLP ,Professor D: Mm - hmm .PhD A: but this isnot the case for Italian what {disfmarker} where the error rate is c is almost uh twice the error rate of PLP .Professor D: Mm - hmm .PhD A: So , um{vocalsound} uh , well , I don't think this is a bug but this {disfmarker} this is something in {disfmarker} probably in the MSG um process that uh I don't knowwhat exactly . Perhaps the fact that the {disfmarker} the {disfmarker} there 's no low - pass filter , well , or no pre - emp pre - emphasis filter and that there issome DC offset in the Italian , or , well , something simple like that . But {disfmarker} that we need to sort out if want to uh get improvement by combining PLPand MSGProfessor D: Mm - hmm .PhD A: because for the moment MSG do doesn't bring much information .Professor D: Mm - hmm .PhD A: And as Carmen said ,if we combine the two , we have the result , basically , of PLP .Professor D: I Um , the uh , baseline system {disfmarker} when you said the baseline system wasuh , uh eighty - two percent , that was trained on what and tested on what ? That was , uh Italian mismatched d uh , uh , digits , uh , is the testing ,PhD B: Yeah.Professor D: and the training is Italian digits ?PhD B: Yeah .Professor D: So the \" mismatch \" just refers to the noise and {disfmarker} and , uh microphone andso forth ,PhD A: Yeah .PhD B: Yeah .Professor D: right ? So , um did we have {disfmarker} So would that then correspond to the first line here of where thetraining is {disfmarker} is the uh Italian digits ?PhD B: The train the training of the HTK ?Professor D: The {disfmarker}PhD B: Yes . Ah yes !Professor D: Yes.PhD B: This h Yes . Th - Yes .Professor D: Yes . Training of the net ,PhD B: Yeah .Professor D: yeah . So , um {disfmarker} So what that says is that in amatched condition , {vocalsound} we end up with a fair amount worse putting in the uh PLP . Now w would {disfmarker} do we have a number , I suppose for thematched {disfmarker} I {disfmarker} I don't mean matched , but uh use of Italian {disfmarker} training in Italian digits for PLP only ?PhD B: Uh {pause} yes?PhD A: Uh {pause} yeah , so this is {disfmarker} basically this is in the table . Uh {pause} so the number is fifty - two ,PhD B: Another table .PhD A: uh{disfmarker}Professor D: Fifty - two percent .PhD A: Fift - So {disfmarker} No , it 's {disfmarker} it 's the {disfmarker}PhD B: No .Professor D: No , fifty - twopercent of eighty - two ?PhD A: Of {disfmarker} of {disfmarker} of uh {pause} eighteen {disfmarker}PhD B: Eighty .PhD A: of eighteen .PhD B: Eighty .PhD A:So it 's {disfmarker} it 's error rate , basically .PhD B: It 's plus six .PhD A: It 's er error rate ratio . So {disfmarker} Professor D: Oh this is accuracy ! PhD A: Uh ,so we have nine {disfmarker} nine {disfmarker} let 's say ninety percent .PhD B: Yeah .Professor D: Oy ! {comment} OK . Ninety .PhD A: Yeah . Um {comment}which is uh {comment} what we have also if use PLP and MSG together ,Professor D: Yeah .PhD A: eighty - nine point seven .Professor D: OK , so even just PLP ,uh , it is not , in the matched condition {disfmarker} Um I wonder if it 's a difference between PLP and mel cepstra , or whether it 's that the net half , for somereason , is not helping .PhD A: Uh . P - PLP and Mel cepstra give the same {disfmarker} same results .Professor D: Same result pretty much ?PhD A: Well , wehave these results . I don't know . It 's not {disfmarker} Do you have this result with PLP alone , {comment} j fee feeding HTK ?Professor D: So , sPhD A: That{disfmarker} That 's what you mean ?PhD B: Yeah ,PhD A: Just PLP at the input of HTK .PhD B: yeah yeah yeah yeah , at the first {disfmarker} and the{disfmarker} Yeah .PhD A: Yeah . So , PLP {disfmarker}Professor D: Eighty - eight point six .PhD A: Yeah .Professor D: Um , so adding MSGPhD A: Um{disfmarker}Professor D: um {disfmarker} Well , but that 's {disfmarker} yeah , that 's without the neural net ,PhD A: Yeah , that 's without the neuralnetProfessor D: right ?PhD A: and that 's the result basically that OGI has also with the MFCC with on - line normalization .Professor D: But she had said eighty -two .PhD A: This is the {disfmarker} w well , but this is without on - line normalization .Professor D: Right ?

I was just gonna ask , do you want to say any {disfmarker} a little bit about it ,Grad F: Y sPhD A: or{disfmarker} ? Mmm .Grad F: Oh . Uh , a little bit about {disfmarker} ?PhD A: Wh - what you 're {disfmarker} what you 're gonna {disfmarker} You said{disfmarker} you were talking about the , uh , particular features that you were looking at ,Grad F: Oh , the {disfmarker} the {disfmarker}PhD A: or{disfmarker}Grad F: Right . Well , I was , um , I think one of the perplexing problems is , um , for a while I was thinking that I had to come up with a completeset of intermediate features {disfmarker} in intermediate categories to {disfmarker} to classify right away . But what I 'm thinking now is , I would start with{disfmarker} with a reasonable set . Something {disfmarker} something like , um , um {disfmarker} like , uh , re regular phonetic features , just to {disfmarker}just to start off that way . And do some phone recognition . Um , build a system that , uh , classifies these , um {disfmarker} these feat uh , these intermediatecategories using , uh , multi - band techniques . Combine them and do phon phoneme recognition . Look at {disfmarker} then I would look at the errors producedin the phoneme recognition and say , OK , well , I could probably reduce the errors if I included this extra feature or this extra intermediate category . That would{disfmarker} that would reduce certain confusions over other confusions . And then {disfmarker} and then {vocalsound} reiterate . Um , build the intermediateclassifiers . Uh , do phoneme recognition . Look at the errors . And then postulate new {disfmarker} or remove , um , intermediate categories . And then do itagain .PhD A: So you 're gonna use TIMIT ?Grad F: Um , for that {disfmarker} for that part of the {disfmarker} the process , yeah , I would use TIMIT .PhD A:Mm - hmm .Grad F: And , um , then {disfmarker} after {disfmarker} after , uh , um , doing TIMIT . Right ?PhD A: Mm - hmm .Grad F: Um , that 's {disfmarker}{vocalsound} that 's , um {disfmarker} that 's just the ph the phone recognition task .PhD A: Yeah .Grad F: Uh , I wanted to take a look at , um , things that Icould model within word . So , I would mov I would then shift the focus to , um , something like Schw - Switchboard , uh , where I 'd {disfmarker} I would beable to , um {disfmarker} to model , um , intermediate categories that span across phonemes ,PhD A: Mm - hmm .Grad F: not just within the phonemes ,themselves , um , and then do the same process there , um , on {disfmarker} on a large vocabulary task like Switchboard . Uh , and for that {disfmarker} forthat part I would {disfmarker} I 'd use the SRI recognizer since it 's already set up for {disfmarker} for Switchboard . And I 'd run some {disfmarker} some sortof tandem - style processing with , uh , my intermediate classifiers .PhD A: Oh . So that 's why you were interested in getting your own features into the SRI files.Grad F: Yeah . That 's why I {disfmarker} I was asking about that .PhD A: Yeah . Yeah .Grad F: Yeah . Um , and I guess that 's {disfmarker} that 's it . Any{disfmarker} any questions ?PhD A: Sounds good . So you just have a few more weeks , huh ?Grad F: Um , yeah . A few more .PhD A: It 's about a month fromnow ?Grad F: It 's a {disfmarker} it 's a month and {disfmarker} and a week .PhD A: Yeah .Grad F: Yeah .PhD A: So , uh , you want to go next , Dave ? And we'll do {disfmarker}Grad E: Oh . OK , sure . So , um , last week I finally got results from the SRI system about this mean subtraction approach . And , um , we{disfmarker} we got an improvement , uh , in word error rate , training on the TI - digits data set and testing on Meeting Recorder digits of , um , {vocalsound}six percent to four point five percent , um , on the n on the far - mike data using PZM F , but , um , the near - mike performance worsened , um , from one pointtwo percent to two point four percent . And , um , wh why would that be , um , {vocalsound} considering that we actually got an improvement in near - mikeperformance using HTK ? And so , uh , with some input from , uh , Andreas , I have a theory in two parts . Um , first of all HTK {disfmarker} sorry , SR - the SRIsystem is doing channel adaptation , and so HTK wasn't . Um , so this , um {disfmarker} This mean subtraction approach will do a kind of channel {pause}normalization and so that might have given the HTK use of it a boost that wouldn't have been applied in the SRI case . And also , um , the {disfmarker} Andreaspointed out the SRI system is using more parameters . It 's got finer - grained acoustic models . So those finer - grained acoustic models could be more sensitiveto the artifacts {pause} in the re - synthesized audio . Um . And me and Barry were listening to the re - synthesized audio and sometimes it seems like you get ofa bit of an echo of speech in the background . And so that seems like it could be difficult for training , cuz you could have {pause} different phones {pause} linedup with a different foreground phone , {vocalsound} um , {vocalsound} depending on {pause} the timing of the echo . So , um , I 'm gonna try training on alarger data set , and then , eh , the system will have seen more examples o of these artifacts and hopefully will be more robust to them . So I 'm planning to usethe Macrophone set of , um , read speech , and , um {disfmarker} Hmm .Professor B: I had another thought just now , which is , uh , remember we were talkingbefore about {disfmarker} we were talking in our meeting about , uh , this stuff that {disfmarker} some of the other stuff that Avendano did , where they were ,um , getting rid of low - energy {pause} sections ? Um , uh , if you {disfmarker} if you did a high - pass filtering , as Hirsch did in {pause} late eighties to reducesome of the effects of reverberation , uh , uh , Avendano and Hermansky were arguing that , uh , perhaps one of the reasons for that working was ma may nothave even been the filtering so much but the fact that when you filter a {disfmarker} an all - positive power spectrum you get some negative values , and yougotta figure out what to do with them if you 're gonna continue treating this as a power spectrum . So , what {disfmarker} what Hirsch did was , uh , set them tozero {disfmarker} set the negative values to zero . So if you imagine a {disfmarker} a waveform that 's all positive , which is the time trajectory of energy , um ,and , uh , shifting it downwards , and then getting rid of the negative parts , that 's essentially throwing away the low - energy things . And it 's the low - energyparts of the speech where the reverberation is most audible . You know , you have the reverberation from higher - energy things showing up in {disfmarker} Soin this case you have some artificially imposed {pause} reverberation - like thing . I mean , you 're getting rid of some of the other effects of reverberation , butbecause you have these non - causal windows , you 're getting these funny things coming in , uh , at n And , um , what if you did {disfmarker} ? I mean , there 'snothing to say that the {disfmarker} the processing for this re - synthesis has to be restricted to trying to get it back to the original , according to some equation .I mean , you also could , uh , just try to make it nicer .Grad E: Uh - huh .Professor B: And one of the things you could do is , you could do some sort of VAD - likethingGrad E: Mm - hmm .Professor B: and you actually could take very low - energy sections and set them to some {disfmarker} some , uh , very low or{disfmarker} or near zero {pause} value . I mean , uh , I 'm just saying if in fact it turns out that {disfmarker} that these echoes that you 're hearing are , uh{disfmarker}Grad E: Uh - huh .Professor B: or pre - echoes , whichever they are {disfmarker} are {disfmarker} are , uh , part of what 's causing the problem ,you actually could get rid of them .Grad E: Uh - huh .Professor B: Be pretty simple . I mean , you do it in a pretty conservative wayGrad E: OK .Professor B: sothat if you made a mistake you were more likely to {pause} keep in an echo than to throw out speech .Grad E: Hmm .PhD G: Um , what is the reverberation time{pause} like {pause} there ?Grad E: In thi in this room ? Uh {disfmarker}PhD G: On , uh , the {disfmarker} the one what {disfmarker} the s in the speech thatyou are {disfmarker} you are using like ?Grad E: Y Yeah .

So {disfmarker} However , I've now{gap} . {vocalsound} But um , {vocalsound} yeah so uh but there would be a cost implication on that ,Marketing: I'll see if I can find them .Project Manager: anduh {disfmarker} as I suppose that {vocalsound} so whether {vocalsound} wanted to put in all these colours , would be uh open to debate , I suppose .IndustrialDesigner: Yeah , sisUser Interface: Well the colours wouldn't {disfmarker} like that's {disfmarker} they wouldn't be too important ,Marketing: Have{disfmarker}User Interface: but we didn't have any white Play-Doh . {vocalsound} So that's where the colour buttons came from . {vocalsound}ProjectManager: {vocalsound} An important consideration .Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound} Right , okay so um {disfmarker} {vocalsound} Andthe second one underneath would be the idea for the {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Yes , we'll have the slide-away .Project Manager: Right , okay . So we'vegot um detail design meeting .Industrial Designer: Bottom .Project Manager: Right . So {disfmarker} So , we've got {vocalsound} prototype presentation , whichwe've just done , evaluation criteria , um and finance , so I guess w we have to evaluate if that meets the various uh aspects that we're looking for uh from umour previous meeting .Marketing: Mm-hmm .User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: So other than the fact that it doesn't have the second layer , but umobviously obviously it would .Marketing: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: Mm-hmm .User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound} But other thanthat , we got the red apple . We got the buttons and the only thing that has really changed is the is the colouration of the buttons ,Industrial Designer: Yes , yes.Project Manager: and {vocalsound} the bit after the evaluation criteria is uh is the finance . {vocalsound} And the {vocalsound} and the cost implication.Industrial Designer: Okay .Marketing: Right .Project Manager: The only snag about this is that uh {vocalsound} the cost is probably kind of important . So um ,and then the production evaluation , as to how easy that would be to uh to manufacture .Industrial Designer: Mm-hmm .Project Manager: Um , and whether itwould uh {disfmarker}Marketing: {vocalsound} {vocalsound} So if you had to do a presentation or {disfmarker} will you just work it on the prototype ?IndustrialDesigner: This this is a {disfmarker}User Interface: Uh , that's it . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: yes , this is our presentation of the prototype .Marketing:That's the prProject Manager: Right , so uh as far as the the finance of it would be concern would be to make sure that the cost {disfmarker} aye the productioncost 'cause you may remember that was one of the first uh considerations was to be in d under um uh twelve fifty or two and a half {disfmarker} uh twelve and ahalf Euros .Marketing: Okay .Industrial Designer: Mm-hmm .Project Manager: So , there's no redesign . So that should uh {disfmarker} Right , so , seems to methat the thing that I have to do is is quickly find that uh {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Could we get this on the board just so we can see {disfmarker} or doyou mean do you have the figures there ?Marketing: {gap} we should {gap} plug it in .Project Manager: Right .Marketing: Do you wanna plu do you wanna plugit in into the the back of that one .Project Manager: Okay .Industrial Designer: 'Kay , Alice . So , shMarketing: We could do it as we d go along , the productioncosts , looking at the prototype .Project Manager: Right . {gap} .Industrial Designer: 'Kay this should be then .Project Manager: {vocalsound} Okay , so , by thefact that we've got uh the simple chip and the uh kinetic energy source , we've got a single curved case . We've got a rubber uh case materials supplements . So ,we had decided that we're having rubber buttons and {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Mm-hmm . {vocalsound} Have a push button interface .Project Manager:Okay . W the button supplements .Industrial Designer: Um {disfmarker}Project Manager: Well , originally , I thought there would just be uh one in there becauseit was the one red apple . But {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Um {disfmarker}Project Manager: So the so the real w the real question then would come in . Doyou make all the buttons {disfmarker}Marketing: Well do we'll do it on the prototype ,Project Manager: OMarketing: so do two , see how much it is .ProjectManager: Well , so we've got one special button form , which was the apple . Everything else is gonna be a standard .Industrial Designer: Yeah .Marketing: Yeah.Project Manager: We've got special material , rubber , wood , titanium , et cetera and that ,Industrial Designer: And then we'd have {disfmarker}ProjectManager: so , I was {disfmarker} {vocalsound} originally , I was thinking {gap} rubber wasn't special ,Marketing: Mm-hmm .Project Manager: but according tothis , maybe it is .Marketing: Mm-hmm .Project Manager: {vocalsound} So {disfmarker} And the r I mean effectively we've got sixteen buttons that we're gonnahave on there .Marketing: Yeah . I think you just do one , don't you , for the {disfmarker}Project Manager: W {vocalsound} I don't know {vocalsound} is{vocalsound} is {vocalsound} is the sort of answer , is that meant to be all sixteen buttons , and therefore {disfmarker} I mean , what's the op The option wasmaybe not to have rubber buttons , but just to have the one that was soft and spongy , and therefore {disfmarker}Marketing: I think I think it's just it's just aone . Else {disfmarker}Project Manager: Whereas it would be {disfmarker} the special colour would be for the {disfmarker} So you would only have the onespecial button that was rubber , whereas the rest would be hard plastic . {vocalsound}Marketing: I thi I think I think the button supplement i is just a supplementfor all the buttons {gap} made in a different material , rather than per button .Project Manager: Mm .Marketing: I don't know though .Project Manager: I would{vocalsound} {vocalsound} {disfmarker} Every design change is uh {disfmarker} {vocalsound} sound] I dunno ,Marketing: Hmm .Project Manager: um{disfmarker} {vocalsound} Okay , um , if we just had all the buttons as standard , except for the one red apple , then that would take care of that , I guess .We'd have one special colour and one special button form .Marketing: Mm-hmm .Project Manager: And when I plugged that in last time {disfmarker} {gap}remember it has to be under twelve and a half . As far as I know , that um {vocalsound} that took care of the uh of the various supplements .Marketing:Mm-hmm .Project Manager: And if {disfmarker} What happened ?Marketing: You've just gone off the window into another one . It's on the bottom row .UserInterface: Maybe if you just minimise that one in the top right-hand corner of the little box .Project Manager: {vocalsound}User Interface: Yeah .ProjectManager: Now , right . {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Okay , so , but the point would be that if we uh if we just did special{disfmarker} Sorry , you were saying that it would be that one , that you would put in one there .Marketing: Yeah . Yeah .Project Manager: Okay .IndustrialDesigner: So that's nine point one there so we've got some {disfmarker}Project Manager: So it {disfmarker} Well , is it s is {disfmarker} no , it's nine pointseven I've got .Industrial Designer: 'Kay .Marketing: Mm-hmm .Project Manager: Okay .Industrial Designer: Just give us a bit of {disfmarker}Project Manager:So , that would {vocalsound} that would work out fine if uh uh as assuming your correction are are {vocalsound} {disfmarker} assuming that that one changecovers all the buttons , then that would be fine .Marketing: Mm-hmm .

Time is it ?Marketing: {vocalsound} Fourteen twentysix .Project Manager: Okay . Lovely to see you all again . Um {vocalsound} it's our conceptual design meeting and it's starting at approximately fourteen twentyfive and so we have forty minutes for this one again and so we'll go just after three o'clock . Um okay {vocalsound} our agenda , we're gonna do an opening , I'mgonna review the minutes of the last meeting , then we'll have your three presentations um and then we'll have to make a decision on the remote controlconcepts , and finally we'll close . SoIndustrial Designer: Okay .Project Manager: opening . Um these are our minutes from r the functional design . We decidedour target group is the focus on who can afford it , because we have international appeal and we said it's for all age groups , different um functions of it . Ourmain objectives were simplicity and fashion . {vocalsound} And s um in specific functions are something to keep the remote from getting lost , large buttons forthe essential functions , a possibility for extra functions , like a sliding a sliding piece {vocalsound} and a long-life battery or a charging station . Okay , now threepresentations . I'd like to do it in this order , first do the conceptual specification of components , properties and materials {vocalsound} um and then theconceptual specification of user interface {vocalsound} and finally trend watching .Industrial Designer: That would be me .User Interface: Yep .IndustrialDesigner: Alright . Well .Project Manager: Mm . 'kay . Function F_ eight it . There we go .Industrial Designer: Alright . Um I'm very excited by this one actuallyguys I uh had a lot of fun doing it . Components design . This is where you look at what does it take to make a remote control and what should we make ourspecific remote control out of . {vocalsound} Um . So , we need to examine each element separately , but we're designing a full thing , so you wanna keep itintegrated as a whole . The main elements of remote controls in general , and therefore ours as well , are the case , the buttons , the circuit board with the chipand the battery . These are all things that we had sort of addressed before , but I'm gonna take each one a little bit separately here as we figure out what theyshould be made of and what they should look like . The case , uh the options that I've gotten from headquarters about what we can do , um there's there's theshape of a case , we could do a flat sh a flat case , a curved case or maybe even a double double-curved case . I haven't seen any pictures of what this exactlylooks like yet , just keep that in mind , but these are the options that we have from manufacturing and we can make our case out of plastic , the m the main basewill be plastic , but we have all these sort of fashion and technological elements we can add in , wood , latex , titanium , rubber or other coloured types of plastic .That would be our case . Um buttons , for buttons we have um pushbuttons , which is what Real Reaction uses the most often , but we also have scror scrollwheels ,Project Manager: Mm .Industrial Designer: which can have integrated pushbuttons , or we could go all high-tech and have an L_ L_C_D_ screen .{vocalsound} Um circuit board and chip we can have a simple one , a regular one or an advanced one , depending on what our other needs are . And then batteryI think is where things get most exciting . We're talking about long-life batteries here . {vocalsound} Um we can we can have your sort of basic double A_batteries , but we also have these options of um {vocalsound} using a kinetic battery , like are used in high-tech watches , where you just have to move it a littlebit to get it to power up . Um so simple movements like pushing buttons would recharge the battery . Or a solar battery , although there are slight um{vocalsound} complications with solar batteries as in we can't use a latex case if we have a solar battery .Project Manager: Hmm .Industrial Designer: Or umsomething they only described as the type of battery you find in torches from about fifty years ago , flashlights . Not quite sure what that is , but that's thedescription that I received , so that's what I'm passing on to you . {vocalsound} So those are our options . Um personal preferences that I was thinking through{disfmarker} here's what we've been talking about all through , fashion and simplicity . So if we're going for fashion in our cases , I think that what we're gonnawanna look at is a curved or a double-curved case , probably with a variety of design elements . Maybe titanium , maybe some wood . We're gonna have toinvestigate that better when I get specifics of the actual materials , but that's sort of what I have in mind . And we wanna go for simplicity . Probably pushbuttons, but I'm sort of intrigued by the idea of a scroll scroll wheel , if anyone has anythingProject Manager: Mm .Industrial Designer: any ideas on that ? I mean I knowthe iPods and things right now have touch scroll um buttons which are exactly like what they're describing , so that might be something we wanna look into . AndI'm really intrigued by the idea of a kinetic battery . {vocalsound} Solar I don't think would be such a good idea , because how often are you sure that yourremote control will get a certain amount of light .Project Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: But this idea of the kinetic , that you don't have to replace ,and that a simple just shaking it around will make it work , I think that that m would be a very interesting thing . But I think we'd also wanna go for e a simplechip or regular chip to keep our costs down . Uh we really only need a regular or advanced chip t if we're gonna start using an L_C_D_ . So I think we want to beaware of not making things overly t technological if they don't need to be , 'cause that'll keep our manufacturing price way down . That's what I have for options .Um I'd appreciate anyone's input , but that's what I'm seeing for the future of the the look of this thing . {vocalsound}Marketing: Is double-curved like{disfmarker} would be like two hands kind of thing ?Industrial Designer: I'm not sure . I haven't received any specificMarketing: {vocalsound} Okay .IndustrialDesigner: visuals of this yet .Marketing: 'Cause I'm imagining like double-curved is like , you know , like two sides that curveIndustrial Designer: This is what I'msort of {disfmarker}Marketing: and then like one curve would just be like a single vertical-ish kind of looking thing ,Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Yeah . I'mnot sure ,Marketing: but I've no idea .Industrial Designer: but I'll let you know as soon as I get any pictures .Marketing: Sounds good .Project Manager: Yeah , Iwonder {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: I know if we do have a double-curved case , it can't have any titanium in it . But the titanium , they were quite{disfmarker} they're marketing quite hard to us as being used in the space programme , so that could be quite interesting .User Interface: {vocalsound}{vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Space-age remote .Project Manager: Mm-hmm . {vocalsound} Just an interesting marketing kind of element .IndustrialDesigner: Just all things to keep in mind . Yeah . {vocalsound} That's about all I have to do , guys . I hope I didn't go through that too quickly .Project Manager:Uh just a real quick question um the weight of these different elements , have you {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Yeah , nProject Manager: no idea , okay.Industrial Designer: no idea , no idea . Um I'm assuming that a kinetic battery isn't gonna take up that much weight ,Project Manager: Mm-hmm .IndustrialDesigner: and that a tita titanium is very light , I know ,Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: um but other than {disfmarker}Project Manager:{gap}Industrial Designer: that's really basic , I mean , that's all I have gotten so far . {vocalsound}Project Manager: Okay .Industrial Designer: Alright ? Anyother questions ?User Interface: Uh-huh . Don't think so .Industrial Designer: No ? Okay .Project Manager: Mm 'kay .Industrial Designer: I have save this in theuh shared projects , if anyone wants to lookProject Manager: Thank you , perfect .Industrial Designer: and I have c considerable notes on the topic as well , ifanyone needs any more information . Uh {disfmarker}Marketing: Thanks .Project Manager: Um if you made notes yourself you can put those on our um{disfmarker} underneath our {disfmarker} oh , uh in your book ,Industrial Designer: Just in my notebook ,Project Manager: then don't worry about that.Industrial Designer: but if anyone has any specific questions , don't hesitate to email me or something . Alright ? Uh I guess I can {disfmarker}Project Manager:'Kay now we're um concepts concepts of user interface . {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Yeah , um . This one's so much tighter than theother one .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} I know .Project Manager: Okay . Nope . There we go . Here you are .User Interface: Jess .Industrial Designer: G oh, geez .User Interface: Alright , so I'm gonna describe the the concept of the user interface of this des device . Um we've talked about uh the two essentialproperties of the user interface . We want it to be simple and we want it to be fashionable . Um other {disfmarker} we've also got to remember that this is adevice that serves as a useful purpose . Uh we want people to be able to use it s as a remote control , so we need to determine what the essential functions of thed of the device are and make sure that we include {disfmarker} that we've included all of those and that we actually end up with a device that is going to beuseful to people . We have a number of different choices for a design concept um and s that's that's something that that I'll show you some examples of um , butessentially we need to choose how how is this device going to work ,Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface: how how {disfmarker} what kind of modelis there going to be for user interaction with this device . Uh once we've chosen a a concept for it , we can then design the features around the concept , makingsure that we get all the essential functions in the device and uh the extra functions and the more advanced features . And of course we also have to make it lookcool .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface: So basically ,Marketing: {vocalsound}User Interface: that's what we don't want . {vocalsound} M we don'twant lots of buttons , uh complicated features . We want something that looks nice and simple .Industrial Designer: Hmm .User Interface: Here's a a fairly simpledevice . This is an an iPod from Apple . Um I think the main thing to notice about it is it just has four buttons . It's very minimalistic in its design . Uh you usethese four buttons to m to move around a range of settings on the small L_C_D_ screen . Um {vocalsound} the thing I like about this is that it's very very quickto access the main features . Uh you can just about make out uh that the button {disfmarker} three buttons are uh previous track , next track and play pause .They're the main the main features of the iPod , the things you will use a all the time . Um then if you want to do anything more advanced , you go into the littlemenu on the L_C_D_ screen and you use the buttons just to scroll around and and find the more advanced features that you want . So I think that's that's a good"}

Good morning everybody .Industrial Designer: Good morning .Project Manager: Oh , everybody is not ready .UserInterface: Uh almost .Project Manager: Alright .User Interface: Ready .Project Manager: Okay , let's go . So , we're here today to to have our first kick-offmeeting about uh this new project we're going to tak to talk about in a few minutes . Um so I will be uh Sebastian the Project Manager . Um you are the{disfmarker}User Interface: I'm uh Michael . I'm the user interface designer .Project Manager: Okay .Marketing: Hi I'm Guillermo {gap} . I'm the MarketingExpert .Industrial Designer: And I am Hemant , the industrial designer .Project Manager: Okay , very good . Thanks for being here . Um so let's have a look to thethe agenda . So , we are going to go through this agenda uh and mainly first to uh {vocalsound} to make {disfmarker} to to be used to the tools uh available inthis nice and smart meeting room we have here . Um then we'll go to uh the plans for project and have general discussions about it . So , the goal of this projectis to uh developed a new remote control . Um it should be original , trendy , and also user friendly . As usual we will follow the the project method um{vocalsound} that we are using in the {disfmarker} in our company . It is in three step as you know . First the functional design . The second's a conceptualdesign , and then the detailed design . During each step uh of each design we wi you will work uh s separately , individually on uh your specific tasks and will mwe will meet to um to discuss and take decisions about uh what you've you've you did and what uh we will do next . So first , we have to to train ourself with allthe um the tools availables in the in this nice meeting room and uh particularly the the white board so uh we are going to go through the white board and takesome um s some notes or do some drawings . So who want to start ? Mister {gap} .User Interface: Ah well if no one else wants to , yeah . Okay so , want me todraw my favourite animal .Project Manager: {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound} Let's see . Well , I don't really have a favourite animal , but umProjectManager: You have one in mind ?User Interface: uh I think I have one in mind , so uh {disfmarker} {vocalsound} I'm gonna {vocalsound} {gap} about the uhspider because you can actually draw it pretty well in the corner of a white board . The spider has a {disfmarker} spider lives in a web {vocalsound} and uh it haseight legs , and uh it can move all about the web in two dimensions . Unless it's a three dimensional web which y they have sometimes . There are some spidersthat live in like {disfmarker} that have like uh kind of a a big ball of a of a web . And uh the other thing is some spiders can actually uh fly like uh they have uhthey let out like uh a stream of like the web building material but it's it acts like a parachute so they can actually kind of go and find new uh {disfmarker} build anew web somewhere else . So I think they did this in uh in Charlotte's Web that movie that little uh {disfmarker} well it's actually a book first but uh um at theend all the the spiders kinda flew away .Project Manager: Okay .User Interface: So , that's my animal .Project Manager: Th thank you . Very interesting .{vocalsound} Guillermo you want to ?Marketing: {vocalsound} 'kay {vocalsound} I dunno why , but {vocalsound} when I was a child I I wanted to be a apantherProject Manager: {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound} not a pink panther ,Industrial Designer: But don't you think it's very difficult to draw a panther?Marketing: or maybe yes .Project Manager: {vocalsound} It would be very funny for us .Marketing: Uh yeah yeah .Industrial Designer: So bad I don't like it .{vocalsound} {vocalsound}Project Manager: Oh .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: Okay it's a friendly panther .User Interface:{vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface: Maybe it's happy 'cause it just ate someone .Marketing: Yeah maybe {vocalsound} .UserInterface: {vocalsound}Marketing: Um . Actually , honestly I I I dunno what's what's his it's be behaviour , I dunno if if it's the male who who hunts or it's thefemale uh , I I I have watched that lions di didn't hunt it's the the female lions who who hunt , so {disfmarker} but {vocalsound} I like it because it's fast , andit's black as well , so it can he {disfmarker} it can hide itself very easily and it's it's {disfmarker} it looks like um {vocalsound} powerful , strong , uh I dunno . I Iwatch a a film about a black panther when I was a child and {vocalsound} I was in that age when everything was shocking me a lot . {vocalsound}UserInterface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Okay . Thank you .Marketing: Okay .Project Manager: Hemant .Industrial Designer: Um sure .Project Manager:{vocalsound}User Interface: So you don't like pink panthers ? {vocalsound}Marketing: I like it {vocalsound} .Project Manager: {gap} {gap}Industrial Designer:Oh yeah . Thanks . This lapel is coming out once in a while . It's not very strong . Okay . So , not the favourite animal , but I think I'll draw elephant .ProjectManager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: I'll try to draw elephant {vocalsound} . It's a problem . Okay , thanks . Okay so , elephant goes like this , {gap} andthen it has four feet {vocalsound} . I don't know whether there's any dist there should be any distance or not , but I think this is the easiest . And then we haveit's trunk . And yep something like this {vocalsound} .Project Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: An eye , cute {vocalsound} .Marketing:{vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Yeah , so {disfmarker}Project Manager: Poor elephant {vocalsound} .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} and sometimes theyhave a hump . It seems that uh elephants are pretty friendly and they they have one very important way {disfmarker} a different way of walking . So when theywalk , wherever they are going to put their first feet , the second feet will always be . When they'll come to that position the second , the third feet will be there .That's the way they walk . And that's very peculiar about them . None of the other animals walk like this . And they are very useful to human beings . At least fewfew hundred years ago when there was no means of transportations or something , or when they had to carry huge um loads from one place to another ,elephants were very useful . And they are found in um usually the warm countries . And um they are the biggest terrestrial animal . That's what I know aboutthem . So , that's what I wanted to tell about elephants .User Interface: So is this uh an Indian or an African elephant , 'cause you haven't drawn the ears?Industrial Designer: There are two kind of uh yeah , they are very different , Indian and African elephants . So Indian elephant is having one bump , I think , andthe African have two . And then there's a difference in the trunk of the animals , these elephants who are Indian and {disfmarker} So at some {disfmarker} forsome elephants it's {disfmarker} the trunk is having one {disfmarker} Do we have some message there ?Project Manager: Yes . We have to {disfmarker} I haveto catch you ,Industrial Designer: Wind upProject Manager: sorry . We have to to go through the meeting .Industrial Designer: ? Okay , some other time .UserInterface: Okay .Industrial Designer: Thank you .Project Manager: Thank you {vocalsound} .User Interface: We can discuss that off-line .Project Manager: Yeahwe'll discuss a f a fly or do {disfmarker} we'll do another meeting abo on elephants .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Thanks .Project Manager: {vocalsound}So {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: so another important part of the project is about money , uh and about {disfmarker} so aboutfinances . So {vocalsound} we should target selling price of twenty-five Euro for this remote control and uh we have um {vocalsound} {disfmarker} which whichwould generate a profit of of um {vocalsound} fifty million Euros , okay . And we should target the inter an international market .User Interface: So could I justask one question , um is this a stand-alone unit that we're gonna be selling ? So it's gonna be you already have a T_V_ but you're buying an extra remote controlfor it or something ?Project Manager: O this is the {vocalsound} next topic we have to discuss exactly ,User Interface: Okay , alright .Project Manager: so let's goto it . So um we should decide which kind of remote control we want to uh we want to uh we want to go . Should be should should it be um specific remote controlto some specific device ? Should it be a universal one ? And uh etcetera . So um {vocalsound} so I'm waiting for your for your inputs very quickly because wehave only three three minutes to go .User Interface: Okay well , so , it seems the the first thing that they've kinda specified is the price like based on how muchprofit we wanna make , which seems to {disfmarker} a kind of a little strange if we don't know what the the product is yet , but I guess if that's {disfmarker} ifthat's the requirement that we need to to design the the product to actually fit that that price bracket so , I guess we're gonna need to find out what's actually{disfmarker} you know , what people ar are willing to pay for {disfmarker} um what kind of product they're expecting for twenty-five EuroProject Manager: Okay.User Interface: because it seems quite a lot for a remote control ,Project Manager: Okay I think this is more a job to ourUser Interface: so it's{disfmarker}Project Manager: market person yeah .Industrial Designer: Marketing person .User Interface: Yeah .Project Manager: So it should be the topic ofmaybe of the next meeting just to to have an overview of this and uh in which direction we should go .Industrial Designer: Mm-hmm .Project Manager: So weneed to close the meeting . Uh we'll have a new meeting soon and uh so {gap} the work every every of you ha have t d to do . So um you have to work on the onthe working design , you have to uh work on the technical functions , and uh you have to work on us user requirements specs , alright ?Marketing: Yeah .ProjectManager: Um you will receive some information by emails , i as usual . Thanks for coming today .User Interface: Okay .Project Manager: Thanks .IndustrialDesigner: Thanks .User Interface: Alright ."}

This one ?User Interface: Sure . {vocalsound}ProjectManager: Okay .User Interface: Yeah .Industrial Designer: Okay . Great .User Interface: Okay . Um well , the function {vocalsound} of a remote control , as whatuh we've been informed , is basically to send messages to the television set , for example , switch it on , switch it off , go to this channel , go to channel nine ,turn the volume up , etcetera . Um some of the considerations is just um for example the what it needs to include it's the numbers , you know , zero to nine , soyou can move to a channel , the power button on slash off , the channel going up and down , volume going up and down , and then mute , a mute function . Andthen functions for V_H_S_ , D_V_D_ , for example , play , rewind , fast-forward , stop , pause , enter . And enter would be for like , you know , the menus .{vocalsound} And then other menus for D_V_ as well as T_V_ , whether that means like um we can go and decide the brightness of the screen , things like that ,all the more complicated functions of menus .Project Manager: {gap}User Interface: And we can decide if that's what we want , {gap} , um if we want to includethat on the remote , if that's something that would stay on the T_V_ itself , for example .Project Manager: Okay . Okay .User Interface: These are two examples .Um and you can see on the left , it's got a lot more buttons ,Project Manager: {vocalsound}User Interface: and I don't know if you can read it , but it says , step ,go to , freeze , um slow , repeat , program , mute , and so those are some of the buttons and so it gives you an idea of s one example . And then on the right ,it's a lot more simpler , it's got volume , it's got the play the like circle set , which is play , rewind , but it's also what is {disfmarker} fast-forward is also like nexton a menu . So you have functions that are d uh duplicating .Project Manager: Right .User Interface: And you have a mute button and then the numbers and theeject , and the power button . So that gives you two different kinds , a more complex and more simple version . Okay .Project Manager: Ready .User Interface:And then lastly , it's just the questions that we want to consider like what functions do we want it to include , and how simple , complex it should be ? And whatfunctions it needs to complete . Uh , what are needed to complete insulation process , 'cause , you know , that's something that also has to be considered and it'sgonna be hopefully a one-time thing , when you set it up it should be set to go , but we have to include the functions that can allow it to set up i in the first place.Project Manager: {gap}User Interface: So that's it .Project Manager: Alright . Very good presentation . Thank you . You speak with such authority on the matter.User Interface: Mm . Left .Project Manager: {vocalsound} Okay . Who would like to um follow that one up ? Now , that we've discussed {disfmarker}Marketing: Ican go .Project Manager: Okay . Do you want me to run it or you wanna {disfmarker}Marketing: Yeah , you should run it .Project Manager: Okay . {vocalsound}Functional requirements .Marketing: {vocalsound} Mm yes .Project Manager: 'Kay . Alright . Now we have Courtney with the functional requirements .Marketing:Yes , okay so we tested a hundred subjects in our lab , and we just we watched them and we also made them fill out a questionnaire , and we found that the{vocalsound} users are not typically happy with current remote controls . Seventy five percent think they're ugly . Eighty percent want {disfmarker} they've{disfmarker} are willing to spend more , which is good news for us um if we make it look fancier , and basically w we just need something that really I meanthere's some other points up there , but they {disfmarker} it needs to be snazzy and it {disfmarker} but yet simple .User Interface: {gap} Wait .Marketing: Sothat's really what we need to do . And we need we need it to be simple , yet it needs to be high-tech looking . So {disfmarker}User Interface: And that meaningwhat ?Marketing: Like {disfmarker} They like I guess use the buttons a lot .User Interface: Okay .Marketing: Yeah .User Interface: {gap}Marketing: I don't know. It's from my uh research .Project Manager: Okay , what do you mUser Interface: Right .Marketing: My team wasn't very clear .Project Manager: Oh , I'm sorry.User Interface: Only use ten percent of the buttons .Project Manager: What do you mean by um the current remote controls do not match well with the operatingbehaviour of the user , like they have to press the buttons .Marketing: {vocalsound} That's okay . I I think it's like the engineering versus user ,Project Manager:Okay .Marketing: whereas like the engineering she showed that the engineering ones are more complexProject Manager: Oh , right .Marketing: and users don'treally need all of the buttons that are contained on there , because they only use ten percent of the buttons really .Project Manager: The buttons . Okay.Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Yeah . Okay .Industrial Designer: We only use ten per cent of our brains . {vocalsound}User Interface:{vocalsound} {vocalsound}Marketing: Good point .Project Manager: It works .Marketing: It's a necessary evil .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} yeah .ProjectManager: {vocalsound} Ready for the next slide ?Marketing: Mm-hmm . {vocalsound} And so people say that they typically lose it , as you yourself know ,because you probably lose your remote control all the time ,Project Manager: Hmm .Marketing: much like any small appliance like a cellphone ,User Interface:Lost .Marketing: and they {disfmarker} we need something simple , because most people , well thirty four percent say that it's just too much time to learn how touse a new one , and we don't want to go {disfmarker} we don't want to vary too far from the normal standard remote ,User Interface: SMarketing: but I meanthey do need to be able to identify it , and R_S_I_ , I'm not very sure what that is .Project Manager: It's okay . It's very important . {vocalsound}Marketing: Yes ,it is important for the remote control world .Project Manager: {vocalsound}User Interface: Wait , is that like your {disfmarker} ergonomics like your handmovements or something ?Marketing: ShProject Manager: Could be , yeah .Marketing: Uh possibly .Industrial Designer: Do we really need t to provide moreinformation on what R_S_I_ is ?User Interface: Like {disfmarker} {vocalsound}Project Manager: Oh .Marketing: Uh yeah , that's what my web site said , IUserInterface: Channel , volume , power .Project Manager: I think that's a pretty good guess though .Marketing: don't know .User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing:Yeah , I would assume so .User Interface: It's like if you're holding it {disfmarker}Marketing: I think we're supposed to know it as remote control experts .ProjectManager: Yeah . It's okay . {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound} But also s so the channel , the volume and the power buttons are the most important on ourcompany website you can find like the specific statistics concerning to how much each button is used , but those are the definitely the top ones .Project Manager:Okay . Next slide ?Marketing: Yes . And so personally I think that we need a modern eye-catching design , but it it really needs to be simple . So saying from yyour slide , your presentation , the engineering versus the user-specified remotes , I think that we should go with something that's more user-friendly .ProjectManager: User-friendly .Marketing: Where the engineering ones , the boxes , tend to make it look more complicated than it really is . Um the functionality of theproduct really needs to be considered as to like what type of buttons do we really need on it . And it needs to be open to a wide range of consumers , so eventhough we need a small number of buttons , we also need to take in {disfmarker} like are most people going to be using it for a D_V_D_ player , a TiVo , whatwhat exactly are we using it for , as well as the age range . So we need a hip , but not a corny marketing scheme for promoting our product .User Interface:{gap}Marketing: And also we found {disfmarker} our team found that speech recognition is {disfmarker} it's like an up-and-coming thing they really{disfmarker} consumers are really interested in it , and since our findings found that people are willing to pay more money for a remote for it to be morehigh-class we could consider it .Project Manager: And so just to {disfmarker} just to clarify by speech recognition you mean they would say , channel five , andthe thing would go to channel five ?Marketing: I guess so , yeah .User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Okay .User Interface: {gap} to just say , whereare you , and thing beeps , you know . {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound} Oh , that'd be lovely .Marketing: Yeah , I guess we can interpret it like , wecan just try out different types of speech recognition within our remote programme .User Interface: Yeah .Project Manager: {vocalsound} Didn't they{disfmarker} um didn't our rival companies manufacture a remote that you would press the button on the T_V_ and it would {disfmarker} the remote would beepso if you have lost it {disfmarker}User Interface: It's kinda like what the remote phone used to do .Project Manager: Mm . Oh , yeah , that's true .User Interface:"}

We've received noapologies for absence. Can I ask Members whether there are any declarations of interest, please?Darren Millar AM: Yes, I have a declaration of interest, Chair. Iunderstand that my daughter features in one of the videos that is going to be used to contribute evidence to this inquiry. And, in addition, I'm a governor of oneof the schools that features in the video.Lynne Neagle AM: Thank you, Darren. So, item 2, then, today is our first session on the provision of textbooks andlearning resources for pupils, which is a video of interviews with young people and teachers. The committee team has been out to take video evidence aroundWales, and we're now going to watch the results of that on the screen. Okay. Well, I'm sure that the committee would want me to place on record our thanks tothe young people and the teachers who took part in that very helpful and informative video. We'll move on now then to our evidence session, and I'm verypleased to welcome Gareth Pierce, chief executive of the WJEC, Mike Ebbsworth, assistant director educational support, WJEC, Philip Blaker, chief executive ofQualifications Wales, and Emyr George, associate director general qualifications at Qualifications Wales. So, thank you all of you for attending and thank you forthe papers that you provided in advance as well. If you're happy, we'll go straight into questions now, and if I can just start by asking you to outline what you seeas your role in ensuring that students and teachers in Wales have the resources that they need to pass general qualifications and what you think the role ofcommercial publishers and Welsh Government is.Philip Blaker: Shall I start? So, Qualifications Wales is the regulator of the awarding bodies, so we regulateawarding bodies. Our powers are structured around the regulating of awarding bodies. We don't regulate commercial publishers nor the provision of textbookswithin that. In regulating the awarding body, our primary focus is also on the design of the qualifications and then the delivery of the assessment. So, it's muchmore around the assessment side than teaching resources. That said, when we are going through the design of the qualifications, we go through an approvalprocess, so we develop approval criteria and we ask WJEC to submit their specifications against those approval criteria and sample assessment materials as well.So, our focus is very much on making sure that teachers are able, through the sample assessment materials and the specifications, to have a good understandingof what is going to be expected of them in the examinations and of their pupils in the examinations. So, that's setting out the knowledge, skills andunderstandings that will be assessed by WJEC when those exams are sat. We have in the past pulled together groups of people to look at issues like resources.So, during the last round of approvals, we pulled together interested parties in Welsh Government, regional consortia and WJEC to look at resources that wouldbe available with a view to facilitating the discussion about who would be best placed to fill the gaps where there may be perceived to be gaps in resources. Ourother primary role is in maintaining standards. So, as the regulator of qualifications, what we want to do is we want to make that the awards of qualifications—so,the grades that people get—are fair. One of the things we do is set out the way in which the awarding bodies will set grades—so, the awarding process, themethods that will be used—and then we monitor WJEC's award of grades against those processes. During a period of change, we prescribe the use of comparableoutcomes as the primary approach, largely because comparable outcomes are designed for circumstances like this, where there's a change in a specificationparticularly, because there are any number of reasons, including resources, why performance may be different from one year to the next, but comparableoutcomes is there to ensure that, all things being equal, if the cohorts have the same ability, the same grade should be awarded from one year to the next. We dorecognise that there have been delays in textbooks. Much of that has been related to the timelines that we've all had to deliver new specifications against, whichhave been far from ideal for everybody involved. We think that particularly our role moving forward will be looking at the timelines for reforms that will benecessary for the new curriculum to make sure that this situation isn't repeated and that there is sufficient time in future reforms to allow for greater systemreadiness. In terms of the roles of others, Welsh Government have a role at the moment in terms of grant funding of translation of materials into Welsh medium.And there is, through the common model at the moment—and this is a model that is common between England and Wales—a reliance on commercial publishersto provide textbooks. Now, that's something that probably needs to be looked at in the future in terms of potential different models for how that might beachieved and also, potentially, around a paradigm shift in what's expected of those materials. So, I think that sets out Qualification Wales's position inparticular.Lynne Neagle AM: Thank you. Gareth.Gareth Pierce: Thank you very much. The WJEC does provide what's required in a regulatory sense, and there aretwo things there—the specification, which tends to be very comprehensive in providing guidance in terms of drawing up a programme of teaching, and alsoexemplar assessments, which include marking, and those go to the regulator before they are published. So, those samples go to the regulator. The WJEC also doinvest a great deal in resources that we produce digitally in both languages simultaneously. Each new course has substantial teaching guidance, which includes agreat deal of useful information for teachers and pupils. And we run a professional development programme for teachers that is free of charge when courses arenew, and then annually there is some charge for those events. They are face-to-face events, or, increasingly, they are webinars. The WJEC also encouragespublishers to take an interest in providing textbooks. We don't have a commercial agreement with publishers. Indeed, the regulations as they stand in Wales,Northern Ireland and England preclude examination bodies from having commercial links with providers of textbooks, but that is something that emerges fromthe three-nation regime that existed in terms of qualifications. So, that is one point that we noted as something that needs to be considered for Wales as wemove forward, whether it would be possible—. As we are not talking about examination boards competing with each other in Wales for GCSE and A-levels, inpassing, that is something that I would want to suggest may deserve review. We encourage publishers to take an interest. At the moment, these tend to beEngland-based—Hodder Education and Illuminate Education, for example—and then the Welsh Government does provide funding to the WJEC to support theprocess of providing Welsh-language versions for those textbooks. So, we use that funding to provide editorial support to the process, and also to pay fortranslation costs, and we give significant guidance in terms of terminology. We have a language services team including excellent editors and translators withinthe WJEC, and we work closely with external translators too, and we use translation technology increasingly, which facilitates a great many things. Beyond that, Ithink the WJEC does see the need for flexibility, particularly when difficulties arise, and you heard there of some of the methods used by Mike and others to getdigital resources available earlier than the print versions. And I should also note perhaps that, as the WJEC is very much involved with stakeholders, we feel thatwe do have a contribution to make in terms of ideas for the future.Lynne Neagle AM: Thank you. We heard in the video that teachers are spending a lot of theirtime actually translating materials. What is your view on that as a good use of teachers' time in Wales?Gareth Pierce: I think the question of translation is aninteresting one. There was talk about pupils translating and teachers translating. I think perhaps we need to understand what causes the need for that because,as I mentioned earlier, there are so many resources available digitally in both languages at the same time. Perhaps an interesting question is: is that sourceuseful for teachers, being able to draw resources from two sources? Another interesting question, I think, is—. The Welsh language, of course, is a language thatis used in an educational context, but we are in a big world that's an English language world. I'm very aware that many of the websites we refer to in ourresources and many of the case studies, as was mentioned in that video—they are available in English only. Therefore, I think another interesting question is: canwe discover what those additional resources are that are worth translating? And, certainly, it would be very unfortunate if there were a dozen Welsh-mediumschools, for example, translating material from the same website independently of each other. If there are a few websites, or a few case studies, in this bigexternal digital world that are worth translating, shouldn't we able to source those early? Because I don't think it's a good use of teachers' time. But I also thinkthat the use of both languages is an interesting one. What is the vision in terms of teaching in a Welsh-medium class, in particular, perhaps, in the A-levelclasses? I'm sure that some teachers feel that there is a way of enriching the teaching by referring to terms in both languages, as well as explaining those termsin their own language. But the impression I got from the video was that there was quite a lot of mechanical translating happening, and perhaps there is a need tounderstand more of the context.Lynne Neagle AM: Llyr on this.Llyr Gruffydd AM: Just to pick up on your point on the additional materials, whose role would it beto asses this or to take that overview, and then to respond to the demand?Gareth Pierce: Mike, in the WJEC, has conversations about resources in the team he'spart of.Mike Ebbsworth: Yes. That is extremely important—to identify, as Gareth has just said, those materials that need to be translated, and noteverything needs to. We've made a lot of use recently of speaking with teachers and the consortia, and ensuring then that we are focusing on those things thatneed that attention.Llyr Gruffydd AM: But would you—? The question I'm asking is: would you still see that as a core part of your work, although it's notnecessarily essential in terms of the provision that you're required to provide?Gareth Pierce: Yes, we invest substantially from the WJEC budget into digitalresources. So, through the types of conversations that Mike mentioned, in terms of identifying needs, deciding on priorities with teachers in individual subjectareas, that can provide very useful information for us in terms of prioritisation. Of course, the digital packages that we create are already based onconversations with teachers.Llyr Gruffydd AM: So, it's already happening to a certain extent.Gareth Pierce: Well, yes, but we could always go a step further.Llyr"}

+{"doc_id":"doc_65","qid":"","text":"Lynne Neagle AM: Good morning, everyone. Welcome to the Children, Young People and Education Committee. We've received no apologies for absence thismorning. Can I ask if there are any declarations of interest from Members, please? No. Okay. Thank you. Item 3 this morning then is a scrutiny session on earlychildhood education and care, and I'm very pleased to welcome Julie Morgan AM, Deputy Minister for Health and Social Services; Jo-anne Daniels, director ofcommunities and tackling poverty at Welsh Government; and Nicola Edwards, deputy director of the childcare, play and early years division in Welsh Government.Thank you all for your attendance. We’re very much looking forward to the session. If you're happy, we'll go straight into questions, and the first ones are fromHefin David.Hefin David AM: Good morning, Deputy Minister. What are your primary objectives? Is it supporting the development of children or getting parentsinto work?Julie Morgan AM: Well, I think you'll be aware from the range of programmes that we've got that we do feel it’s important to support both children andparents. There's obviously lots of evidence to show how important the early years are for children, how important they are for their development, and so, that isone of our primary objectives. But we also know how important it is for parents to have stable jobs, reasonably paid, so that can also help with the developmentof the children. So, we really see it that our plans are for both parents and children, and we believe that a high-quality, early-childhood education and caresystem can provide that. And, of course, in terms of when we talk about jobs as well, I think it’s really important to remember that the childcare system is a bigemployer as well and a very important employer. So that, actually, itself provides jobs.Hefin David AM: So, the evidence we've seen suggests that, historically,Governments in the UK and devolved have focused on primarily getting parents into work. So, are you suggesting then that your focus is to change that andmove towards early child development?Julie Morgan AM: No, what I'm saying is that we want to give parents the opportunity to work. We don't want childcare tobe a barrier to parents working because we think that working is one the best routes out of poverty, but we do also want to make sure that children have thegreatest experience that they can have in the early years. So, we see it as one.Hefin David AM: Okay. And that's quite a policy challenge to deliver both at thesame time.Julie Morgan AM: The situation as it is is complex, and I think it needs simplifying. It is a challenge, but it’s probably one of the most importantchallenges we've got in Government, because what we offer to families with young children is one of the most important things we do.Hefin David AM: And inyour evidence to the committee, you said that the Welsh Government’s approach 'will build on a wide variety of programmes that are continually developing inorder to support parents, families and children during the early years.' And you've just said you want to simplify that. How do you simplify that, particularly withregard to the provision of funding and the way these things connect from the birth of a child into school? How will simplification look, and what will happen?JulieMorgan AM: Well, we're not at the stage of being able to say what it will look like at the moment, but we're looking at ways of simplifying, because I think it’sabsolutely right, it is a very complex system, because it’s grown up from all different routes. But we are having lots of pilot projects that are looking at ways ofsimplifying the system. We have got pathway projects in, I think it’s eight local authorities, who are looking at ways of joining up the whole system. So, we arelooking at that, and I absolutely except that it is very complex and we want to find ways of making it simpler and easier to understand. So, we are working withlocal authorities and health boards to see how we can actually work together and simplify things.Hefin David AM: And it's good to hear that that's your objective.Can I just come back to the first thing you said: 'We can't say yet what we're going to do'?Julie Morgan AM: No.Hefin David AM: So, when will we have a policyplan and something that we can interrogate in more detail?Julie Morgan AM: Well, I think we are near getting to an announcement where we will be able to saywhat direction we're going in, and because we have had—. Some of this work has been going on for a year or so, and we're getting the results of those pathfinderprojects coming in. So, when we do have all those results, we will be able to say the direction that we want to go in, and I hope we'll be able to do that verysoon.Hefin David AM: Before Christmas?Julie Morgan AM: I hope so.Hefin David AM: Okay. And finally from me—Julie Morgan AM: I'm sorry I can't say too muchabout that because we haven't actually—. We need to—.Hefin David AM: Well, it does sound like something is imminent.Julie Morgan AM: Yes.Hefin David AM:Okay. And that's as far as you're willing to go. And if that's as far as you're willing to go, then I'll stop asking.Lynne Neagle AM: I've got a supplementary fromSiân.Hefin David AM: Okay.Julie Morgan AM: Yes, that's fine.Sian Gwenllian AM: I just want to understand a little about the pilot, the pathfinders in eight localauthority areas. Is the focus there on the child or is it on parents returning to work?Julie Morgan AM: The focus is on an early years system, but we've workedboth locally and nationally. So, it's looking at both. I mean, actually, I think, perhaps, Nicola, would you like to or one of you like to describe one of theprogrammes?Sian Gwenllian AM: And can you just explain the vision? Is it a child-centred early years provision that we're thinking of in thesepathfinder—?Jo-Anne Daniels: So, in 'Prosperity for All', we set out that early years was one of the key priority areas, and within that we said that we wanted tocreate a more joined-up and more responsive system. So, when we talk about a system, we're talking about the services that are provided by health boards, sohealth visiting, midwifery, speech and language support, other kinds of therapeutic services, as well as all the important services that local authorities areproviding, such as support for parenting, advice and guidance, employment support and childcare, obviously. And we've got eight pathfinders. I'll try andremember each of them. So, Flintshire, Newport, Blaenau Gwent, Neath Port Talbot, Swansea, Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire—and then I've missed one, I think,because I've only got to seven—who have been working with us to look at how all of those services are currently delivered in their local area and whether andhow they can reorganise those services to improve accessibility, to improve take-up, but essentially to improve the efficacy of those programmes in terms ofsupporting children, but often, obviously, in supporting children you have to support parents too and support the home.Sian Gwenllian AM: So, would you say it'sa child-centred approach?Jo-Anne Daniels: Absolutely, because it's about making sure that we deliver the best start in life for children in Wales, but obviouslyparents are a critical element of that, so can't be excluded.Lynne Neagle AM: And how long have they been going for?Jo-Anne Daniels: So, those eight pathfindersstarted their work in—I think it was—February this year. And they're still in the very early stages in terms of actually unpicking and mapping the current provisionof services across their areas and then moving on to the stage where they'll develop proposals for how they might change the delivery of early years.LynneNeagle AM: Okay, thank you. Julie.Julie Morgan AM: Just to say also, the one in Flintshire is also testing the impact of consistent funding rates for education andchildcare. So, that's been going longer than the others. So, that's another important area because there's an evaluation of that project under way at themoment.Lynne Neagle AM: Thank you.Jo-Anne Daniels: Sorry, but Caerphilly was the one that I forgot to mention.Lynne Neagle AM: Oh dear. [Laughter.]HefinDavid AM: That's absolutely unforgivable. [Laughter.]Lynne Neagle AM: Hefin. [Laughter.]Julie Morgan AM: Very significant.Hefin David AM: In your report, the'Alignment of the Childcare Offer for Wales to the Foundation Phase', one of the recommendations was that 'The Welsh Government, local authority education andchildcare policy and delivery teams could merge'. So, looking behind the scenes, those disparate parts of policy, delivering the foundation phase and childcareoffer should merge. Is that the case? Has that been put under way and should we be looking at this structure in more depth?Julie Morgan AM: Well, probably notat the structure at this time because the report that you're referring to was looking at the first year of the delivery of the childcare offer and it did make a numberof points, which we have taken on board. For example, we issued guidance last year regarding the delivery of the foundation phase, which supports widening thenumber of non-maintained settings that are able to deliver early education and we're also supporting co-location and partnership working between education andchildcare providers through our capital investment programme. I think it's about £81 million that we put into the capital investment where we aredeveloping childcare facilities co-located with the education facilities, because that was one of the things that came out from this report you're referring to. And, Imean, obviously, early years is one of the key priorities within 'Prosperity for All' and, obviously, education sits within one portfolio with the Minister forEducation, and childcare is with me. But we're doing what we can to work together to try to bring those together, and that was one of the proposals in that report.But it's still very early to think about, at this stage, a structural change.Hefin David AM: And I remember when you were on the committee here with me, sittingnext to me, we had those discussions about co-location. I know the problem with not having co-location is that you could end up seeing a child travelling betweenthree or more locations during the course of a day. Are you suggesting now that the actions you're taking will resolve that issue universally, or will it lead to apiecemeal resolution? And, if so, to what extent, what percentage of children will see that resolved as an issue?Julie Morgan AM: Certainly, the co-location is notgoing to solve it universally because although we've been able to develop a lot of new facilities, or build on old facilities, there will be a lot of areas that we won'thave covered. So, I can't say that there's going to be a situation where everything is going to be co-located because I don't think that would be feasible, and,forsome of the providers, they wouldn't be in a position to move to a school. But ideally it's a good situation, but, certainly, I think the discussions that there wereon the committee, it's not ideal to take children for long distances between different providers, let alone the effect it has on the climate change issue. It's whetherit's good for children as well. So, I can't say that they will ever be co-located, but as I said in response to your earlier question, we are encouraging thedevelopment of the foundation phase in non-maintained settings, which, obviously, is quite significant.Lynne Neagle AM: Okay. Thank you. I've got some"}

It 's the conference call between the Aurora , {vocalsound} uh , group .Professor B: It 's the main conference call. OK .PhD D: Uh , yeah . There were like two hours of {pause} discussions , and then suddenly , {vocalsound} uh , people were tired , I guess , and they decidedon {nonvocalsound} a number , two hundred and twenty , um , included e including everything . Uh , it means that it 's like eighty milliseconds {pause} less thanbefore .Professor B: And what are we sitting at currently ?PhD D: Um .Professor B: Yeah .PhD D: So , currently d uh , we have system that has two hundred andthirty . So , that 's fine .Professor B: Two thirty .PhD D: Yeah . So that 's the system that 's described on the second point of {pause} this {vocalsound}document .Professor B: So it 's {disfmarker} we have to reduce it by ten milliseconds somehow .PhD D: Yeah . But that 's {disfmarker} Yeah . That 's not aproblem , I {disfmarker} I guess .Professor B: OK . W It 's {disfmarker} it 's p d primary {disfmarker} primarily determined by the VAD at this point ,PhD D: Um.Professor B: right ?PhD D: Yeah .Professor B: S so we can make the VAD a little shorter .PhD D: Yeah . At this point , yeah .Professor B: That 's {disfmarker}PhDD: Yeah , uh - huh .Professor B: Yeah . We probably should do that pretty soon so that we don't get used to it being a certain way .PhD D: Uh - huh .Professor B:Yeah .PhD D: Um .Professor B: Was Hari on the {disfmarker} on the phone ?PhD D: Yeah , sure .Professor B: OK .PhD D: Well , it was mainly a discussion{vocalsound} between Hari and {vocalsound} David ,Professor B: Hmm .PhD D: who was like {disfmarker}Professor B: Yeah .PhD D: Uh ,Professor B: OK .PhDD: mmm {disfmarker} Uh , yeah . So , the second thing is the system that we have currently . Oh , yes . We have , like , a system that gives sixty - two percentimprovement , but {vocalsound} if you want to stick to the {disfmarker} {vocalsound} this latency {disfmarker} Well , it has a latency of two thirty , but{vocalsound} if you want also to stick to the number {vocalsound} of features that {disfmarker} limit it to sixty , {vocalsound} then we go a little bit down but it's still sixty - one percent . Uh , and if we drop the tandem network , then we have fifty - seven percent .Professor B: Uh , but th the two th two thirty includes thetandem network ?PhD D: Yeah .Professor B: OK . And i is the tandem network , uh , small enough that it will fit on the terminal size in terms of {disfmarker}?PhD D: Uh , no , I don't think so .Professor B: No .PhD D: No .Professor B: OK .PhD D: It 's still {disfmarker} in terms of computation , if we use , like , their wayof computing the {disfmarker} the maps {disfmarker} the {disfmarker} the MIPs , {vocalsound} I think it fits ,Professor B: Mm - hmm . Mm - hmm .PhD D: butit 's , uh , m mainly a problem of memory .Professor B: Right .PhD D: Um , and I don't know how much {pause} this can be discussed or not , because it 's{disfmarker} it could be in ROM , so it 's maybe not that expensive .

Yeah , I c I {disfmarker} I have to check that .Professor B: Yeah. I 'd like to {pause} see that , cuz maybe I could think a little bit about it , cuz we {vocalsound} maybe we could make it a little smaller or {disfmarker} I mean ,it 'd be {disfmarker} it 'd be neat if we could fit it all .PhD D: Uh - huh .Professor B: Uh , I 'd like to see how far off we are .PhD D: Mm - hmm .Professor B: But Iguess it 's still within their rules to have {disfmarker} have it on the , uh , t uh , server side . Right ?PhD D: Yeah . Yeah .Professor B: OK .PhD D: Mmm.Professor B: And this is still {disfmarker} ? Uh , well , y you 're saying here . I c I should just let you go on .PhD D: Yeah , there were small tricks to make thistandem network work . Uh , {vocalsound} mmm , and one of the trick was to , {vocalsound} um , use {vocalsound} some kind of hierarchical structure where{pause} the silence probability is not computed by {pause} the final tandem network but by the VAD network . Um , so apparently it looks better when ,{vocalsound} uh , we use the silence probability from the VAD networkProfessor B: Huh .PhD D: and we re - scale the other probabilities by one minus the silenceprobability . Um . So it 's some kind of hierarchical thing , {vocalsound} uh , that Sunil also tried , um , {vocalsound} {vocalsound} on SPINE and apparently ithelps a little bit also . Mmm . And . Yeah , the reason w why {disfmarker} why we did that with the silence probability was that , {vocalsound} um{disfmarker}Professor B: Could {disfmarker} ? Uh , uh , I 'm {disfmarker} I 'm really sorry . Can you repeat what you were saying about the silence probability?PhD D: Mm - hmm .Professor B: I only {disfmarker} My mind was some {disfmarker}PhD D: Yeah . So there is the tandem network that e e e estimates thephone probabilitiesProfessor B: Yeah . Yeah .PhD D: and the silence probabilities also .Professor B: Right .PhD D: And {vocalsound} things get better when ,instead of using the silence probability computed by the tandem network , we use the silence probability , uh , given by the VAD network ,Professor B: Oh .PhDD: um ,Professor B: The VAD network is {disfmarker} ?PhD D: Which is smaller , but maybe , um {disfmarker} So we have a network for the VAD which has onehundred hidden units , and the tandem network has five hundred . Um . So it 's smaller but th the silence probability {pause} from this network seems , uh ,better .Professor B: OK .PhD D: Mmm . Uh . Well , it looks strange , but {disfmarker}Professor B: Yeah . But {disfmarker}PhD D: but itProfessor B: OK .PhD D:Maybe it 's {disfmarker} has something to do to {vocalsound} the fact that {vocalsound} we don't have infinite training data and {disfmarker}Professor B: Wedon't ?PhD D: Well ! And so {disfmarker} Well , things are not optimalProfessor B: Yeah .PhD D: and {disfmarker} Mmm {disfmarker}Grad E: Are you{disfmarker} you were going to say why {disfmarker} what made you {disfmarker} wh what led you to do that .PhD D: Yeah . Uh , there was a p {comment}problem that we observed , um , {vocalsound} {vocalsound} that there was {disfmarker} there were , like , many insertions in the {disfmarker} in the system.Professor B: Mm - hmm .PhD D: Mmm .Professor B: Hmm .PhD D: Actually plugging in the tandem network was increasing , I {disfmarker} I {disfmarker} Ithink , the number of insertions .Professor B: Mm - hmm .PhD D: And , {vocalsound} um {disfmarker} So it looked strange and then just using the {disfmarker}the other silence probability helps . Mmm . Um {disfmarker} Yeah . The next thing we will do is train this tandem on more data .Professor B: So , you know , in away what it might {disfmarker} i it 's {disfmarker} it 's a little bit like {vocalsound} combining knowledge sources .PhD D: Um {disfmarker}Professor B: Right ?Because {vocalsound} the fact that you have these two nets that are different sizes {pause} means they behave a little differently ,PhD D: Mm - hmm .ProfessorB: they find different {pause} things . And , um , if you have , um {disfmarker} f the distribution that you have from , uh , f speech sounds is w {comment} sortof one source of knowledge .PhD D: Mm - hmm .Professor B: And this is {disfmarker} and rather than just taking one minus that to get the other , which isessentially what 's happening , you have this other source of knowledge that you 're putting in there . So you make use of both of them {vocalsound} in{disfmarker} in {pause} what you 're ending up with . Maybe it 's better .PhD D: Yeah .Professor B: Anyway , you can probably justify anything if what 's usePhDD: Yeah .Professor B: Yeah .PhD D: And {disfmarker} and the features are different also . I mean , the VAD doesn't use the same features there are .Professor B:Mm - hmm .Grad E: Hmm .Professor B: Oh !PhD D: Um {disfmarker}Professor B: That might be the key , actually .PhD D: Mm - hmm .Professor B: Cuz you werereally thinking about speech versus nonspeech for that .PhD D: Mm - hmm .Professor B: That 's a good point .PhD D: Mmm . Uh . Well , there are other thingsthat {vocalsound} we should do but , {vocalsound} um , {vocalsound} it requires time and {disfmarker} {vocalsound} We have ideas , like {disfmarker} so ,these things are like hav having a better VAD . Uh , we have some ideas about that . It would {disfmarker} {vocalsound} probably implies working a little bit onfeatures that are more {vocalsound} suited to a voice activity detection .Professor B: Mm - hmm .PhD D: Working on the second stream . Of course we haveideas on this also , but {disfmarker} {vocalsound} w we need to try different things and {disfmarker} Uh , but their noise estimation , um {disfmarker}{vocalsound} uh {disfmarker}Professor B: I mean , back on the second stream , I mean , that 's something we 've talked about for a while . I mean , I think{nonvocalsound} that 's certainly a high hope .PhD D: Yeah . {vocalsound} Mmm .Professor B: Um , so we have this {disfmarker} this default idea about justusing some sort of purely spectral thing ?PhD D: Uh , yeah .Professor B: for a second stream ?PhD D: But , um , we {disfmarker} we did a first try with this , andit {disfmarker} it {vocalsound} clearly hurts .Professor B: But , uh , how was the stream combined ?PhD D: Uh . {vocalsound} It was c it was just combined , um, by the acoustic model . So there was , no neural network for the moment .Professor B: Right . So , I mean , if you just had a second stream that was justspectral and had another neural net and combined there , that {disfmarker} that , uh , {vocalsound} might be good .PhD D: Mm - hmm . Yeah . Mm - hmm . Mm- hmm . Mmm . Yeah . Um {disfmarker} Yeah , and the other thing , that noise estimation and th um , maybe try to train {disfmarker} uh , the training data forthe t tandem network , right now , is like {disfmarker} i is using the noises from the Aurora task and {vocalsound} {vocalsound} I think that people might ,{vocalsound} um , try to argue about that because {vocalsound} then in some cases we have the same noises in {disfmarker} for training the network {pause}"}

And uh stillfailing ? {vocalsound}Marketing: Yeah .Project Manager: Uh now we're going um into the functional design . Um important thing of this phase is that we're goingto uh try to get an agreement about the user requirements , technical function design , and the working design . So that we can move onto the second uh phase .But first this phase . Um first an announcement . There's a little adaptation in the air conditioning system . So {disfmarker}Marketing: {vocalsound}ProjectManager: {vocalsound} There's our {vocalsound} ghost mouse again . That that means that you can have a little trouble with , little trouble with the airconditioning , that's because of this uh {disfmarker}User Interface: Okay .Project Manager: It's in wing C_ and E_ .Marketing: Okay .Project Manager: So itshould be over in a in a while , couple of days .

Uh this time I will take the minutes . Uh you're going to have apresentation . All of you . Um and we've got forty minutes for the whole uh prese for the whole uh presentations . So uh I suggest we take about seven minutesper presentation , and then we can have a little discussion about the new project requirements uh which have been sent to me . And then the decision on thecontrol functions uh which we wanna include and those which we don't wanna include . So we've got forty minutes for all of it . So I suggest um let's start withthe first presentation .Marketing: Yes .Project Manager: Um who wants to be first ?Marketing: Think I'll go first .Project Manager: Okay . So{disfmarker}Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Just maybe it's easier if you um {disfmarker} Yeah I think you will tell {gap} your presentation as well .Just which function you have and what you're gonna talk about . {vocalsound}Marketing: 'Kay . My name is Freek Van Ponnen . I'm the Market Expert . But youalready knew that . Um I've done some research . We have we uh have been doing research in a usability lab where we observed um users operating remotecontrols . Uh we let them fill out a questionnaire . We had one hundred of these uh test subjects . Uh in addition we did some market research . Uh see what themarket consists of . What ages are involved . Well these are three quite astonishing results , I thought . Um remotes are being considered ugly . F uh seventy fivepercent of the um people questioned uh indicated that they thought their remote were was ugly . Um and an additional eighty percent indicated that they wouldspend more money on a fancy-looking remote control . So {disfmarker} Um in addition remotes were not very functional . Fifty percent of the people indicatedthey only loo used about ten percent of the buttons on a remote control . And fifty percent of the people indicated that their remote tended to get lost in theirroom . SoUser Interface: Mm .Marketing: some things . Then we did some research to the most relevant functions . Channel selection and volume selection umboth got a ten on a scale of one to ten for relevancy . The power button got a nine . And teletext got a six and a half . So these are the most most uh importantfunctions on a remote control . Then there are some one-time use function . That's what I like to call them . That uh audio settings , video settings , and channelsettings buttons . Which are not really used very frequently , but are still considered to be of some importance . Um channel selection was also indicated to beused very frequently . One hundred and sixty eight times per hour . Then these are the {disfmarker} This is the market . Um sixty percent of the market consistsof users between the ages sixteen and forty f six . Um {disfmarker} Main characteristic of this group is that they're very critical on the remote control . Um theylike to use new f new functions . But they also are very critical . They won't spend their money very easily . So {disfmarker} Um the users of forty six to sixty fiveyears cons The make up forty percent of the market . They are not really very interested in features . But they do tend to spend their money a lot easier . What Ithink this indicates for our um design . I think we should make a remote for the future . And this means we would um have to focus on the age ages sixteen toforty five . Uh this also makes up most the biggest part of the market , so that will also be where our main profit would be gettable . Um this would mean wewould have to make a fancy design . Um {disfmarker} The results also indicated that um about one quarter of the people questioned thought that the remotecontrol caused R_S_ R_S_I_ . Um this is certainly something to take into account . And thirty four percent thought that it was hard to learn a n how to operate anew control , remote control . So these are two factors that I think should be included in the design . Besides of course that the remote must look very nice . Andthe functionality {disfmarker} As a lot of people indicated , they only use about ten percent of the buttons , I think we should make very few buttons . Uh this willalso be uh beneficial to the design of the remote . Uh I think the most frequently used buttons should be emphasised . Especially the channel selection and audiouh selection buttons . 'Cause they're used most and so they should be robust . They shouldn't break down easily . Um {disfmarker} Then as mo as a lot of peopleindicated that their um remote got lost in the room , it might be and I say might be because it would um certainly boost the uh production costs a lot . But itmight be a good idea to make a docking station . And this would , could get a button in it which would send a signal to the remote which would then beep . Soyou'd know where it is in the room . And in addition to this it could um recharge the batteries in the remote if you put it in . Then um a surprisingly great deal ofpeople w indicated that um an L_C_D_ screen in the remote control would be preferred . This was um mostly people in the age of sixteen to twenty five . But uptill forty five it remains feasible . This would also greatly increase the production costs but I think these are just some small factors we could consider .ProjectManager: Okay .Marketing: That would be all .Project Manager: Thank you . So anybody have um any questions until now ?Marketing: Any questions ?ProjectManager: About functional requirements ?User Interface: Mm-hmm .Project Manager: OkayIndustrial Designer: No .Project Manager: that's clear . {gap} Now tothe second .Marketing: 'Kay . {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound}User Interface: Uh okay . Um I've been looking at uh the user interface of it . Um f forthe techno f functions uh of of it . Um {disfmarker}Project Manager: Yeah . Yeah you can take your time .User Interface: Okay .Project Manager: We've got uhplenty of time ,User Interface: Mm ?Marketing: YeahProject Manager: so {disfmarker}Marketing: you should go to the top thingy . Slide show .User Interface: Oh.Project Manager: {gap}User Interface: Uh .Project Manager: Yeah . There it is . Yeah .User Interface: Okay .Marketing: Oh yeah .User Interface: Um yeah . Ithink uh we uh must use the general functions uh of the uh remote control . Uh uh I've do I've uh done a little uh research on the internet and {gap} not muchinformation about it , {gap} {disfmarker} Um about uh interface but uh {disfmarker} Uh {disfmarker} Yeah I I've been thinking about a simple manner uh to puta lot of functions uh uh in one um in one uh remote control . Uh so uh you've got a lot of devi uh devices like uh D_V_D_ uh uh television , uh stereo . So um{disfmarker} But uh it must be uh user-friendly . So um uh you c you can't put a a lot of uh functions uh in one uh {disfmarker} Yeah . Uh uh uh {disfmarker}Yeah . In one um remote control .Project Manager: One remote .User Interface: But um {disfmarker} Yeah .Project Manager: {gap}User Interface: Um yeah .Got uh many functions in one uh remote control , um but um yeah you can see , this is uh quite simple uh remote control .Project Manager: {vocalsound}UserInterface: Um few uh buttons but uh {disfmarker} This uh re uh remote control got a a lot of uh buttons . Um uh people uh don't like it , uh so um {disfmarker}Well what uh I was uh thinking about was um uh keep the general functions uh like they are . So uh like uh the on-off uh button . Uh keep it uh yeah l like a redbutton . Uh everybody everybody knows it so uh uh you don't have to change that . Um {disfmarker} My personal uh preferences um . Use a display for uhspecific uh functions of the different uh device . So um {disfmarker} Wh what I was th uh thinking about was um you've got um {disfmarker} Uh this the remotecontrol uh {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound} {gap}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface: and uh you got here the general functions , uhlike uh the on-off button uh sound uh {vocalsound} I dunno um {disfmarker} And um here you've got a s kind of a display . It's a touchscreen . So um yeah yougot a general f uh f the functions of the device uh for a D_V_D_ player or uh so um the pl yeah um f for uh playing uh reverse uh {gap} . And um you got here uhreal buttons for uh selecting uh a device . So um this button is for a D_V_D_ or {vocalsound} {disfmarker} So um for every um device you've got a uh a f a b apart uh display of a part buttons . So uh you you never got uh all the buttons uh on w one device .Project Manager: Hmm . {vocalsound}User Interface: So uhthat's uh my uh idea about it .Project Manager: 'Kay .User Interface: Um yeah and {disfmarker} Uh let's see . Uh yeah . So a touchscreen . Uh and um th thebuttons uh the real buttons uh we have to use um . We better c um uh use uh quite uh large buttons uh for um yeah . Everybody uh have to use it so{disfmarker} Uh ol even even old people um young people . So uh we must keep uh buttons uh quite s uh simple and quite large . So uh {disfmarker} Um{disfmarker}Project Manager: Yeah .User Interface: Yeah . Uh yeah . That was uh my uh part of it .Project Manager: Okay .User Interface: So{disfmarker}Project Manager: Anybody has questions about the technical functions ?Industrial Designer: WellProject Manager: {gap}Industrial Designer: I thinkif we are gonna use a touchscreen uh we're gonna go way above the twelve and a half Euros .Project Manager: Yeah .User Interface: N I I don't think so . Uh yougot uh quite a cheap uh touchscreen . S um it's uh not uh in colour or something .Project Manager: Touchscreen .User Interface: Uh it's just uh um one colo Uhyeah . Uh I seen uh w uh something on the internet uh not today but uh a few uh weeks ago . Uh you got uh yeah quite an uh a kind of uh touchscreen um andit's uh {vocalsound} for uh twenty uh Euros or uh less uh .Project Manager: Huh .User Interface: So it's possible .Marketing: Hmm .Project Manager: 'Kay . That'snice . Uh {disfmarker}Marketing: Well it would certainly make a fancy design .User Interface: Yeah .Project Manager: Yeah .Industrial Designer: But the{disfmarker} It wouldn't be very robust .Marketing: So {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: It's very fragile and you can get scratches on it .Marketing: That is true"}

Um {vocalsound} which was we got together just to basically decide on {disfmarker} well to talk about what it is thatwe were actually uh supposed to be doing ,Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: and who we all are and stuff like that , mm get bit more of an idea togetherof what's going on . {vocalsound} Um what we are gonna talk about in this meeting is um now that we know what it is that we are doing , now we know that it'sa T_V_ remote and stuff and you guys have just been off doing some some uh R_ and D_ for that , that's research and development for those that haven't heardthat before ,User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: Mm-hmm .Project Manager: see I'm learning all sorts of new technologi terms in technology today . Umyeah , we're gonna hear your uh th three little presentations ,Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: whether they be on computer or on the whiteboard orwhatever you want .User Interface: Hmm . {vocalsound} Do you have any preference uh of order ?Project Manager: Um I'd like to um hearMarketing:{vocalsound}Project Manager: o I'd like to hear who's g who's on the um from from uh Catherine actually first . I want {disfmarker} what I'd like to hear about isuh if we've finally decided on um what sort of energy we're gonna be using andIndustrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: Batteries .User Interface: I think sheis still finishing her {gap} . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: No no no no , it's fine I'm just preparing .Project Manager: It's just that {disfmarker} yeah , let'slet's hear from you first .Industrial Designer: Okay .User Interface: Hmm .Industrial Designer: Where is that thing ?User Interface: Okay , it's uh {vocalsound}{disfmarker}Marketing: It's here .Industrial Designer: Oh sorry , couldn't see .Marketing: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Would that work ?Project Manager:Get yourself in position . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Okay , so that's me again .Marketing: Ah .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Um so umfor the energy sources we can have a basic battery , a hand dynamo which is {disfmarker} which was used uh in the fifties for torches , if you remember thatkind of {disfmarker} which wouldn't be v wouldn't be v vProject Manager: I don't think any of us remember the fifties .User Interface: Is it like a crank thing orsomething {gap} .Industrial Designer: yeah , yeah . It wouldn't be very fancy .Marketing: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: You can have a kinetic provision ofenergy , which is used on some watches these days . So if you have just a bit of gentle movement that {disfmarker} it will give it the energy to work .Marketing:Mm .Industrial Designer: Or you can use solar cells , but I'm not sure about that indoors , really , but {disfmarker}User Interface: Well , there's sometimescombinations , I mean , like calculators do combinations of battery with {disfmarker} but also using some solar power .Industrial Designer: Yeah .ProjectManager: Do {gap} sol solar panel things , do they have to work from the sun or can they work from a light bulb ?Marketing: Mm .Project Manager: Doesanybody know ?Industrial Designer: I dunno actually .User Interface: Uh I think , it has to be on the on the solar energy , but I don't know .Industrial Designer: Idunno . Um . Think the the uh what would cost the less would be the basic battery , really .Project Manager: Okay .Industrial Designer: And uh if we wantsomething fancier , I think the kinetic provision of energy could be nice ,Marketing: Mm .Industrial Designer: but I don't know if it's worth the cost . So we've gotto discuss that .Project Manager: Mm . Okay , jolly good .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} For the case of the remotes itself , um they can be a general case ,which is just a flat one . You can have uh a curved one or a double curved one , if you know what I mean , so {disfmarker}Project Manager: What's a doublecurved one ?Industrial Designer: You know , kind of more ergonomic , that kind of suits the palm of your hand , that kind of thing .Project Manager: Okay.Industrial Designer: So {disfmarker} {vocalsound} Um then the case material itself , so it can be uh uh either plastic or latex , uh rubber , wood , or titanium .And th for each of them you have uh cases where {disfmarker} for example titanium , you can't use it for {disfmarker} if you if we're choosing a double curvedcase , we can't choose titanium . And if we are choosing um solar cells then we can't choose latex for the case material , so we just have to take that into account. But if we're choosing just the flat case then we can go for anything . And I think we discussed earlier on the R_ S_ I_ problem thing , so we could uh{disfmarker}Project Manager: So that might be an idea of using the rubber ,Industrial Designer: Yeah .Project Manager: but then it should , you know{disfmarker}User Interface: Let's have a squeezable remote . {vocalsound}Project Manager: yeah .Industrial Designer: Yeah . And also it doesn't break as easilymaybe ,Project Manager: {gap} when a T_V_ programme's got one {gap}Industrial Designer: I dunno {disfmarker}User Interface: {vocalsound}ProjectManager: watching the match and {gap} your team's just lost , you can fuzz it across the room and it'll bounce off the wall back at you .Industrial Designer:{vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: Yeah .Project Manager: Yeah , I like that idea .Marketing: Mm .Industrial Designer: So rubber would be{disfmarker} Okay .Marketing: I think rubber's {disfmarker}Project Manager: Rubber , we're all we're all going {disfmarker} we're all liking that idea ? You thinkyou can market that ?Marketing: But after my after my fashion thing , I think you'll realise that rubber is more {disfmarker}Project Manager: Ooh , we like rubber, ooh . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Uh s so if dMarketing: People . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: okay . And then there are the push-buttons , so youcan have basic push-buttons or a scroll-wheels , like you have on a mouse , um or you could have um L_C_D_ , which gives you a display . Um scroll buttons , aswell .Project Manager: Uh-huh .Industrial Designer: So if you use a rubber double curved case , you must use rubber push-buttons . So if we're going for rubberthen we have to decide for the case . Um and if we choose double curved then we have to go for rubber push-buttons .Project Manager: Well , we're gonna gowith {gap} I think we've decided that it's gonna be a rubber case so {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: So it's a constraint . Yeah , but is it a double curved one ornot ? {vocalsound} If it's not a double curved , then we've got the choice for the push-buttons , if it's a double curve , we've gotta go for rubber push-buttons . Ifthat makes sense .Project Manager: {gap} push buttons instead of the wheel ?Industrial Designer: Yeah . {gap} .User Interface: If it's rubber , isn't it malleableanyway , {gap} it doesn't matter if it's double {disfmarker} I mean isn't a rubber case , mean it's completely flexed , I mean , it it flexes to whatever they want itto ? Mean so what's the difference between a normal rubber case and a rubble doub double {disfmarker} rubber double curved case ? {vocalsound}ProjectManager: {gap} rubble double double . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: No , but na le you see , you've got , okay , the energy that's one thing ,ProjectManager: I'll have a Big Mac , please . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: then you have the case is uh , whether it's flat or curved . And that's {disfmarker}{vocalsound} we don't care if it's rub rubber or not , but then we've decided that we going for rubber for the case material . So if we've chosen rub rubber and ifnow we have the choice for the case whether it's flat , single curved or double curved . And I'm just saying if it {disfmarker} if we choose it to be double curvedthen we need to go {disfmarker} I dunno why , but we need to go for uh rubber push-buttons . So , either {disfmarker}User Interface: Okay .IndustrialDesigner: I dunno we just need to decide on the on the case .Project Manager: Let's have rubber push buttons , hey .User Interface: Okay . Go rubber . Gorubber the whole way .Industrial Designer: Let's go crazy . {vocalsound} And then , do I have a last slide ? Yes , I do . Um so the push-buttons themselves theycan be just simple or they can be {disfmarker} so that's just the electronics between the but behind the push-buttons .Project Manager: Yeah .IndustrialDesigner: Um and the price that go with it with it , so the simple push-buttons are gonna be the cheapest . Uh if we get a scroll-wheel , that's a higher price range. If we get an advanced chip which is um used for the L_C_D_ , the display thing , then that's even more expensive .Project Manager: {vocalsound} Simple , yeah. Chip on print . It's a bit {gap} . {vocalsound} Okay , uh what I'm not understanding hereIndustrial Designer: Mm .Project Manager: {vocalsound} is uh , okay ,advanced chip on print , which I presume is like one P_C_B_ and that's got all the electronics on one board including the um infra-red sender ?IndustrialDesigner: {gap} . Yeah .Marketing: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: The infra-red . Yeah .Project Manager: Right . Um what a what alternatives do we have tothat ? {vocalsound} Y um {vocalsound} what alternatives do we have to the chip on print ?Industrial Designer: Well , if if it's not chip on print then , I guess , youget different chip components , and you build them separately and doesn't include the infra-red . It's less expensive mm {disfmarker}Project Manager:{vocalsound} so it sounds {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Technically speaking , it's not as advanced , but it does the job , too . {vocalsound}Project Manager:So , why would we not go for that ? If it's something that's inside the the unit . {vocalsound} I it doesn't affects whether the customer's gonna buy it or not.Industrial Designer: Fo It doesn't , yeah , yeah , yeah . Totally . Yeah .Project Manager: Um we wanna go for an i i all {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: So let's"}

And then he 's {disfmarker} he 's uh measuring at the frame level {disfmarker}still at the frame level , of what {disfmarker}PhD D: Right .Professor C: and then {disfmarker} and then just uh normalizing with that larger amount . um and{disfmarker} But one thing he was pointing out is when he {disfmarker} he looked at a bunch of examples in log domain , it is actually pretty hard to see{vocalsound} the change . And you can sort of {pause} see that , because of j of just putting it on the board that {vocalsound} if you sort of have log - X plus log- X , that 's the log of X plus the log of twoPhD E: Yep .PhD D: Yeah , maybe it 's not log distributed .PhD E: Mmm . Yeah .Professor C: and it 's just , {pause} youknow , it {disfmarker} it diminishes the {pause} effect of having two of them .PhD E: Professor C: Um .PhD D: But you could do like a C D F there instead ? Imean , we don't know that the distribution here is normally .Professor C: Yes , right . So {disfmarker} So what I was suggesting to him is that {disfmarker}PhDD: So just some kind of a simple {disfmarker}Professor C: Actually , a PDF . But , you know , uh But , either way .PhD D: PDFProfessor C: Yeah . Yeah , eith eithuh {vocalsound} BPhD D: Yeah .PhD E: Yeah .PhD D: Something like that where it 's sort of data driven .Professor C: Yeah , but I think {pause} also u I think agood first indicator is when the {disfmarker} the {disfmarker} the researcher looks at {vocalsound} examples of the data and can not see a change {pause} inhow big the {disfmarker} the signal is , {vocalsound} when the two speaker {disfmarker}PhD E: Yeah . Yeah .Professor C: Then , that 's a problem right there .So . I think you should at least be able ,PhD D: Oh yeah .Professor C: doing casual looking and can get the sense , \" Hey , there 's something there . \" and thenyou can play around with the measures . And when he 's looking in the log domain he 's not really seeing it .PhD D: Oh yeah .PhD E: Yeah .Professor C: So . Andwhen he 's looking in straight energy he is , so that 's a good place to start .PhD E: Yeah .Professor C: Um . So that was {disfmarker} that was the discussion wejust had . Um . {vocalsound} The other thing Actually we ca had a question for Adam in this . Uh , when you did the {vocalsound} sampling ? uh {pause} overthe {pause} speech segments or s or sampling over the {disfmarker} the individual channels in order to do the e uh the {pause} amplitude equalization ,{vocalsound} did you do it over just the entire {disfmarker} everything in the mike channels ?PhD E: How {disfmarker}Professor C: You didn't try to find speech?Grad A: No , I just took over the entire s uh entire channel um {pause} sampled ten minutes randomly .Professor C: Right , OK . So then that means thatsomeone who didn't speak {pause} very much {vocalsound} would be largely represented by silence .Grad A: Yep .Professor C: And someone who would{disfmarker} who would be {disfmarker} So the normalization factor probably is {pause} i i i {pause} is {disfmarker} is {disfmarker}Grad A: Yeah , this wasquite quick and dirty , and it was just for {pause} listening .PhD E: Yeah .Professor C: Yeah .Grad A: And for listening it seems to work really well .Professor C:OK .PhD E: Yeah .Professor C: Yeah .PhD E: Yeah .Grad A: So .Professor C: Yeah . But that 's {disfmarker}Grad A: But , it 's not {disfmarker} Not a goodmeasure .Professor C: Right . So thPhD E: Yeah .Professor C: OK . So yeah there {disfmarker} there {disfmarker} there {disfmarker} There 's a good chancethen given that different people do talk different amounts {pause} that there is {disfmarker} there {disfmarker} there is still a lot more to be gained from gainnorm normalization with some sortPhD E: Yeah . Yeah . Mmm .Grad A: Yes , absolutely .Professor C: if {disfmarker} if we can figure out a way to do it .PhD E:Yeah .Professor C: Uh . But we were agreed that in addition to that {comment} uh there should be {pause} s stuff related to pitch and harmonics and so forth.PhD E: Yeah .Professor C: So we didn't talk at all about uh the other derivatives , but uh again just {disfmarker} just looking at {disfmarker} Uh , I think uh Lizhas a very good point , that in fact it would be much more graphic just to show {disfmarker} Well , actually , you do have some distributions here , uh for thesecases .PhD E: Yeah . Yeah .Professor C: You have some histograms , um {pause} and {pause} uh , they don't look very separate .PhD E: Yeah .Professor C: uh{vocalsound} {pause} separated .PhD E: This is the {disfmarker} the first derivate of log of frame energy uh without any kind of normalization .PhD D: What{disfmarker}Professor C: Yeah . Yeah . Yeah .PhD D: Log energy . Sorry .PhD E: These the These are the {disfmarker} the first experiments uh with commentuhPhD D: Frame energy .Grad A: Except that {pause} it 's hard to judge this because the {disfmarker} they 're not normalized . It 's just number of frames .PhDD: Yeah .Professor C: Yeah .PhD D: Yeah .PhD E: Yeah .Grad A: But yeah , even so .PhD D: W {vocalsound} I mean , what I meant is , even if you use linear ,{pause} you know , raw {pause} measures , like {pause} raw energy or whatever ,Professor C: \" Number \" {disfmarker}PhD D: maybe we shouldn't make anyassumptions about the distribution 's shape , and just use {disfmarker} you know , use the distribution to model the {disfmarker} {vocalsound} {pause} themean , or what y you know , rather than the mean take some {disfmarker}Professor C: Yeah . But {disfmarker} And so in {disfmarker} in these he 's got that.PhD D: Yeah .Professor C: He 's got some pictures . But he doesn't {disfmarker} he doesn't in the {disfmarker} he iPhD E: Yeah .Professor C: just in derivatives, but not in the {disfmarker}PhD D: Yeah . Oh .Professor C: but he d but he doesn't {disfmarker} doesn't {disfmarker}PhD D: Right . So , we don't {pause}know what they look like {pause} on the , {pause} tsk {disfmarker} {comment} For the raw .Professor C: But he didn't h have it for the energy . He had it forthe derivatives . Yeah .PhD D: Yeah . So . I mean , there might be something there . I don't know .Professor C: Yeah .PhD D: Huh .Grad A: InterestingPhD E:Here I {disfmarker} IProfessor C: Oh that {disfmarker} yeah that 's a good qPhD E: in {disfmarker} No I {disfmarker} I {disfmarker} I haven't theresultProfessor C: did {disfmarker} did you have this sort of thing , for just the {disfmarker} just the l r uh the {disfmarker} the unnormalized log energy ? OK .Yeah . So she {disfmarker} she 's right .PhD E: but it 's the {disfmarker} it 's the {disfmarker} the {disfmarker} the following .Professor C: That 's a{disfmarker}PhD D: Well it might be just good to know what it looks like .Professor C: Yeah . That 's {disfmarker} That 's uh {pause} cuz I 'd mentioned scatterplots before but she 's right ,PhD D: Cuz {disfmarker}PhD E: Huh ?Professor C: I mean , even before you get the scatter plots , just looking at a single feature{vocalsound} uh , looking at the distribution , is a good thing to do .PhD E: Yeah . Catal - uh {disfmarker} Combining the different possibilities of uh theparameters . I {disfmarker} I {disfmarker} I {disfmarker} I mean the {disfmarker} the {disfmarker} the scatter plot {pause} combining eh different {pause} ntwo combination .Professor C: Yeah , but {disfmarker} but what she 's saying {pause} is , which is right , is {pause} lePhD E: combination of two , {pause} ofenergy and derivate {disfmarker}Professor C: I mean , let 's start with the {disfmarker} Before we get complicated , let 's start with the most basic wh thing ,"}

Oh yeah .Project Manager: {vocalsound} Right .User Interface: Mm-hmm.Project Manager: Everybody everybody ready ?Industrial Designer: Yep .User Interface: Yeah .Project Manager: Okay , let's have your um {disfmarker} let's get{gap} have the uh presentation ?Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface: We've got some {gap} .Industrial Designer: We've got a cool prototype .UserInterface: Yeah , it's pretty exciting . So , everything uh that we wanted we wanted it to be ergonomic and to be made out of rubber , very simple and easy to use,Industrial Designer: Double curved .Project Manager: Nice .User Interface: yeah , double curved ,Marketing: {vocalsound}User Interface: um but also somethingthat was gonna jump out at people , something that would be different uh , separate it from the other remotes out on the market . So uh I think if you put this inthe palm of your hand , you'll see what a nice thing we have going here .Project Manager: {vocalsound}Marketing: That is cool .User Interface: So , basically , ifyou hold it like that , the one on your thumb , yeah , {vocalsound} the thumb button is the power button .Project Manager: Mm-hmm . Mm-hmm .User Interface:Your index finger is channel up , middle finger is channel down , ring finger is volume up , your pinkie is volume down .Marketing: What's the big blue thing ?UserInterface: That's the lock button , has a L_ L_ on itMarketing: Oh cool .User Interface: and then the M_ is a mute button . And then it also has digitProjectManager: {gap} what button ? Um . Oh mute .User Interface: For muting the uh {disfmarker}Marketing: And mute .User Interface: Um and then then you canalso {disfmarker} there's a numeric keypad on the top so you can key directly to the to the channel if you want .Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Okay.User Interface: So it's really basic functionalities as far as what keys are available , but we think it's very comfortable and very innovative and it looks different.Project Manager: That certainly does .Marketing: {vocalsound}User Interface: So all the , I mean the important keys are right at your f f you know right at uh ata convenient place for you to to access them .Project Manager: Mm .Industrial Designer: Which is ant anti-R_S_I_ .User Interface: So you don't you {disfmarker}Yeah . It should be .Project Manager: Mm .User Interface: And it's also conformable to the size of your hand . I mean if that's too big , it's a rubber remote , soyou can , you knowProject Manager: Yeah . 'S great .User Interface: change that . So d does that uh what {disfmarker} mesh with what you guys were hopingand for and expecting or does it {disfmarker}Marketing: Oh it's so cute .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: I have one thing about it , but it's asmall thing , but it'd mean we'd have to make a right-handed one and a left-handed one .Industrial Designer: Oh right , yeah .User Interface: Ah , that's goodthinking , yeah .Project Manager: But , that's I don't see why that's not possible .User Interface: Yeah , if we build rocket ships why can't we build left-handedand right-handed uh remotes .Project Manager: Yeah . {gap} They make left-handed scissors , you know . {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound} Yeah , Ididn't I didn't think about that , but I'd {disfmarker} yeah , {gap} .Marketing: Yeah , but then but then you can learn to use your right h like I was just thinking ifthere's left-handers and right-handers in the family , what , they have two remotes ?Project Manager: Yes sIndustrial Designer: Yeah , I know I know people whohave left-handed and right-handed people in the family and they all use the computer {vocalsound} for the whole {disfmarker} the same computer the fes familyand they have a mouse , and everybody is using right-handed mouse .Project Manager: Mm . Sure . Sure .Marketing: Yeah , I'm sure they'll be able to{disfmarker}User Interface: Uh-huh .Marketing: I mean it's only pressing buttons , you don't have to do anything , you know , extraordinary . I think everybodycan press a button with their left and right hand so {disfmarker}User Interface: Yeah .Industrial Designer: Imagine d are you right handed ?Project Manager:Yeah .Industrial Designer: Imagine you're doing it with your left hand , I don't think it's too {disfmarker}Marketing: Yeah , it's not {disfmarker}IndustrialDesigner: But we can have both uh {disfmarker}Marketing: Yeah .

Yeah . Um . One thing I do need to do {disfmarker} we need to look at , is the costs .User Interface: The costs , was thatwhat you said ?Industrial Designer: Play-Doh is very cheap . {vocalsound}Project Manager: Well , yeah . {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing:Mm .Project Manager: {gap} um {disfmarker}Marketing: Play-Doh won't last very long everybody'll go like , oops , it's gone . {vocalsound} {vocalsound}UserInterface: But it's edible .Marketing: Mm-hmm . Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: Chew proof .User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: Well , they'll buy more ofthem if you eat them , {gap} .User Interface: That was the main criteria from the last meeting , it had to be chew proof .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}ProjectManager: Yeah . Uh right . {vocalsound} Okay , now I think we'll do this {disfmarker} I could do {disfmarker} you know , I can do this o on my own or I could doit with you ,Marketing: Yeah .Industrial Designer: Oh ho-ho .Project Manager: but it's just easy enough to go through it with you , so we're going for the kineticpower .Industrial Designer: Yep .Project Manager: {vocalsound} And the electronics , we decided on it being just a simple , the easiest thing that's inside it . Ooh.Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: So {disfmarker} the case , we've gone for the double curved . Um and it's made out of rubber .{vocalsound} The interface is push-buttons . And button supplements well they're in diff special colours , aren't they ?Marketing: Yeah .Project Manager: So{gap} special colours .User Interface: Yeah .Marketing: It's better for {disfmarker}Project Manager: Special form , yeah , they're a special form there in shapesand stuff .User Interface: Yeah , I mean , {vocalsound} these these ones on the side are curved kind of , so {disfmarker}Marketing: And special material .ProjectManager: Yep . Yeah . Um . Are they made out of any special material ?Industrial Designer: Rubber .Project Manager: No they're not . They're not made out ofwood or titanium or rubber or anything , they're just simple {disfmarker}User Interface: The buttons are rubber .Marketing: Well they're rubber , aren't they?Project Manager: Okay . Right .Industrial Designer: Yeah .Project Manager: So let's see if that comes within budget . And it does . That is gonna cost uh{disfmarker}Industrial Designer: {gap} .Marketing: We're under budget .Project Manager: Yeah . That's gonna cost ten ten Euro seventy cents a unit to make .And our target was it had to come in at under twelve fifty .User Interface: That's cool . Yeah . Yeah .Project Manager: So ,User Interface: And we're actua actuallymaking a better profit than we expected .Project Manager: this is all very very good . The bosses will be very pleased .User Interface: {vocalsound}ProjectManager: Okay , let's just save this so I can e-mail it to you . Uh .Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound} Save it in {gap} save it in the uh{vocalsound} my documents .Marketing: It's already saved , I think .Project Manager: Splendid . Okay . So uh , that's {gap} done with this with this um doodah ,so you're {gap} . Gonna do {disfmarker} what you were gonna do ,Marketing: Thank you . Mm .Project Manager: your evaluation .Marketing: Oh , yeah . This iswhere we all get to {vocalsound} I get to write on the , oops , on the board . Right .Project Manager: {vocalsound}Marketing: Oh . 'S function{disfmarker}Project Manager: F_ eight .Marketing: Okay .Project Manager: {gap} I love the smell of that Play-Doh .User Interface: {vocalsound} Yeah ,ProjectManager: {vocalsound} I cou {gap} . {vocalsound}Marketing: Mm .User Interface: have some have some .Marketing: Okay . So , {vocalsound} evaluation .We're gonna do it all together so we evaluate each criteria . I've got the criterias . And we have to do it on a scale of one to seven , one being true , so it's it'smore like it's {disfmarker} fits the criteria , and seven being as in it doesn't fit the criteria . And the criterias are , and I'll draw this up on the board {disfmarker}{vocalsound} so we have a box {disfmarker} {gap} . And this is false , this is just like to keep you informed . So seven's here and one's here and then you've gotin the middle . {vocalsound} So the first criteria . Do you all get what we're doing ?Industrial Designer: Mm-hmm .User Interface: Mm-hmm .Marketing: Okay ,cool . Okay , first criteria , look and feel . So the does remote look and feel fashionable to what we talked about ? As it {disfmarker} is it colour-wise and is itspongy ?User Interface: Mm .Marketing: So what mark should we give for that ?Project Manager: I would give it a seven .User Interface: Yeah .Marketing: As in"}

Thank you .Project Manager: Huh .Industrial Designer: Do you guyslike your tasks ?User Interface: Yeah .Marketing: Yeah . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: I spent a lot of time thinking about what I was gonna do and then acouple of minutes before this I get my function you know the information that I need .User Interface: Yeah wa wa you actually {disfmarker} Yeah . But it it's notclear what you have to to to type uh type in your presentation .Industrial Designer: So frustrating .Marketing: Yeah .Industrial Designer: So{disfmarker}Marketing: Yeah . I I had a whole idea and then just was typing it and then oh . I have to do that so switch .Industrial Designer: Yeah {disfmarker}Yeah exactly . This presentation is mainly based on my own ideas 'cause I hadn't time to intergrate tha the information yet so {disfmarker}User Interface: Yeah.Marketing: Mm .Industrial Designer: Really annoying .Project Manager: Okay . So there we are again .Marketing: By your humble P_M_ .Project Manager: Yeah.Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Okay this is the agenda . Um we have three presentations , I heard .Marketing: {vocalsound}User Interface: Really .{vocalsound}Project Manager: Yeah really . {vocalsound} So who wants to start ?Marketing: Yeah that's fine {gap} .Industrial Designer: Yeah .Marketing: Wehave to start it right away ? {vocalsound}Project Manager: Yeah . Uh this is you ?Marketing: Functional ? Yeah functional requirements .Project Manager: 'Kay.Marketing: Alright . I'm gonna talk about functional requirements . Um {disfmarker} Well uh some research has be done uh has been done . Uh observing of onehundred uh subjects in the usability lab using a remote control . Uh and they also filled in a questionnaire . The findings were um , well you can see them foryourself . They disliked the look-and-feel of current remotes controls . {vocalsound} Users think they're ugly . Um {vocalsound} they do not match the theoperating behaviour of the users . So they they d they don't match what they want to have on it . Um {vocalsound} they are often lost somewhere in the room .Um it takes too much time to learn how to use a new remote control . And they're bad for R_S_I_ . {vocalsound} I don't know uh how a user can reach that butokay . Um {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: TsMarketing: there is also uh was also some research on uh the most relevant and and and irrelevant uh f functions .Uh most irrelevant and less used were audio settings , mono , stereo , uh pitch , bass . Um screen settings for brightness and colour and stuff like that . Um butthey are used . I mean the {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: So they do need to be in the {disfmarker}Project Manager: Yeah .Marketing: Yeah they do need tobe on the on the remote control .Industrial Designer: Alright .Marketing: I mean if you can't control the the sound settings {disfmarker} I mean if you dislike avery uh loud bass or something , you you need to change that .Project Manager: {vocalsound} {gap} often .Marketing: So um yeah we have to .IndustrialDesigner: By the way my T_V_ doesn't have an equ equaliser butMarketing: We c we c Yeah I mean w we can't {disfmarker}Project Manager: {vocalsound} Nextgeneration does . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {disfmarker} okay .Marketing: my my T_V_ has ,Industrial Designer: No . {vocalsound} Alright .Marketing:but we we can leave them uh away . Uh most relevant , uh most used functions , uh they speak for themselves I guess . Uh power button , uh channel , volumeselection . Uh teletext but we can skip that because I saw the newsflash , and teletext is so outdated that it it's i should not be used uh any more in the future.Project Manager: N not used anymore .Marketing: So forget this one .User Interface: Okay .Marketing: Uh channel settings , so for programming uh yourchannels in in the right order .Project Manager: Yeah .Industrial Designer: By the way where did you guys get that newsflash from ?User Interface: Yeah .{vocalsound} I was wondering uh {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: I didn't get anything .Marketing: Yeah , {vocalsound} on on the project uh{disfmarker}Project Manager: Yeah . Not by mail . I receiv the mail but you don't . So {disfmarker}User Interface: But you you've got more information than{disfmarker} uh .Marketing: No so it's a text file n in the project folder . So teletext can be skipped .Project Manager: That's in the presentation , so{disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Alright .Marketing: Um there was some research on new features in a remote control . Uh about an L_C_D_ screen uh andspeech recognition . Well we got an update for the for the audience . Or the the the targeted group . So it's above forty I guess .Project Manager: Uh below Ibelieve .Marketing: The new product ? Or below {vocalsound}Project Manager: Yeah below forty .Marketing: because that's pretty relevant .Project Manager:Mm-hmm .Marketing: I thought I read a {disfmarker}Project Manager: Our current customers are in the age group forty plus .Marketing: Yeah ?Project Manager:And the new product should reach new markets , which is the customers below forty .Marketing: Below ? Okay well {vocalsound}User Interface: But where didyou get uh that information ?Project Manager: That's in a newsflash .Marketing: that's that's in the newsflaProject Manager: {vocalsound}User Interface: Okay .{vocalsound}Marketing: okay that's a good to know . Um because you see see a clear distinction between the age groups , concerning the features .UserInterface: Yeah .Marketing: I mean uh above forty people are not so interested uh not so interested in a screen or speech recognition . Uh but below that agethey uh they pretty much are . So I think we can build that in . Um {disfmarker} Yeah well we can skip this part as well , because I thought I read above forty sowe could skip the features , but we just have to build them in because uh they find it very interesting . Um well we have to keep all the classic functions but makethe buttons as user-friendly as possible . Um and and also there's {disfmarker} so not only the design of the bus uh buttons but o how you can push them , andstuff like that . So the physical uh aspect of it . Um {disfmarker} And I think {disfmarker} and certainly for for the for the lower age groups , uh nice design ,which uh does not make the remote control {gap} in your room .User Interface: Yeah .Marketing: It's it's actually a part of your interior , of of your design in yourroom . So it's {vocalsound} the people can say , well what's that , well that's my remote control , so it's d it has to look nice and feel nice , and and have all thefunctions that uh {disfmarker}Project Manager: Yeah . But it also needs to have corporate identity .Marketing: Yeah so the the logo has to beProject Manager:Present and the colours .Marketing: uh present yeah , and the colours as well .Project Manager: {vocalsound} So we can't change much of that .IndustrialDesigner: Do we have {disfmarker} uh yeah {gap} .Marketing: Yeah so but I I don't think that's that's a problem because the thing has to have a colour anyway, and most of the times there is a brand present on it .Project Manager: Mm-hmm . Mm-hmm . Yeah . Yeah .Marketing: So I think that's not gonna gonna affect itvery uh very much .Project Manager: Okay .Marketing: Well that are the the consequences uh on a marketing uh part .Project Manager: {vocalsound} 'Kay.Industrial Designer: Alright .Marketing: Yes .User Interface: Okay .Project Manager: It's open already so you can use {gap} toMarketing: {gap} .ProjectManager: find yours .User Interface: Mm .

Because if we have as much timeas the last uh meeting , we'll have to hurry up .Marketing: I'm listening .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: Right .Project Manager: Um well I'll startwith the presentation again , the agenda .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: Great .Project Manager: Yo . So . {vocalsound} {vocalsound} Uh{disfmarker} {vocalsound} This one I think .Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound} Uh yeah . Well alright . Um well , I'll show you the notes .It's not as uh interesting as it should be because we just uh had the meeting ,Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: but I'll show them . We'll get yourpresentations again on the conceptual design . Um {disfmarker} Then we'll have to dec decide about the control , the remote control concepts . I've put a f uh afile in the project management folder , which says exactly uh what kind of decisions we should take .Industrial Designer: Mm-hmm .Project Manager: So{vocalsound} this time we exactly know what to decide about .Marketing: {vocalsound} Alright , great .Project Manager: And then we'll close again .IndustrialDesigner: Alright .Project Manager: Uh {disfmarker} Well these are some examples , but we'll talk about them later . We'll {vocalsound} first look at your uhpresentations . Alright ?Industrial Designer: Mm-hmm .Project Manager: Walter will uh start again this time ?Marketing: Yeah , great .Project Manager: Yo.Marketing: Alright , Trendwatch .Project Manager: 'Kay .Marketing: {gap}Project Manager: {vocalsound}Marketing: Right . I will speak about uh latest trendstrends , latest fashion updates , and uh things we must not do .Project Manager: 'Kay .Marketing: Uh the trends . {vocalsound} It's very important that uh thecontrol is fancy looking and good uh feeling . Uh this because of our last model was very functional , but {vocalsound} it uh people didn't like that , so our newmo model must be very good-looking . That's uh something you uh have to take a look at .Industrial Designer: Mm-hmm . Alright .Marketing: And uh the feelinghas to be very great . Also the menus and things like that they have to they have to feel great .Industrial Designer: Alright .Marketing: Um there's a minus uh twotimes here , because this is the most important point . This is uh two times as less important ,Project Manager: Less . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer:{vocalsound}Marketing: and uh same for this one . {vocalsound} Um , technological technological innovations , that's uh regarded very highly too .ProjectManager: {vocalsound}Marketing: Uh such as an uh L_C_D_ screen , uh speech uh acknowledgement , as we uh talked about earlier .Project Manager: Well ,yeah .Marketing: So we have to have uh something like that , like we uh {disfmarker}Project Manager: L_C_D_ and our uh our fronts .Marketing: Right .{vocalsound} Uh the last point is easy to use . Well I think that uh speaks for s for itself . I don't know who's uh who's going to look at that .Industrial Designer:Easy to use ?Project Manager: Well , easy to use uh s is a bit uh contradictionary with the first uh {disfmarker}Marketing: Yeah ?Industrial Designer: I thinkthat's your taUser Interface: {gap}Project Manager: Functional is not an issue , and then easy to use .Marketing: Yeah , I know .Project Manager: Well we haveto choose one of them . {vocalsound}Marketing: I think we have to go for the first one .Project Manager: Yeah . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Mm.Marketing: It's the most important one . So {gap} we have to uh take that one .Project Manager: Okay .Marketing: So it it {vocalsound} it isn't very importantthat {vocalsound} that it works easy .User Interface: Well something fancy looking can be can be easy to use .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing:{vocalsound} But {vocalsound} it has to look great .Project Manager: Yeah . We'll we'll look at uh {gap} .Industrial Designer: You {disfmarker} Yeah . Yeah ,yeah ,Marketing: We'll see . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: you can make a very complicated uh uh remote anyway , so ease of use {disfmarker}{vocalsound} It's not a very comp complicated device .Marketing: Yeah , right . But the most important thing is that it looks great and people say {gap} wow ,that's real great uh great concept .Project Manager: 'Kay .Industrial Designer: Alright .Marketing: Alright . Uh these are the new colours of this year .UserInterface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: So it must be very bright , very colourful .Project Manager: {vocalsound}IndustrialDesigner: {vocalsound} {vocalsound}Marketing: People like this .Project Manager: {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: So we we have to thinkuh in this direction .Project Manager: So {disfmarker}Marketing: So i set your mind to it .User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Well{disfmarker}Marketing: Findings ? Fashion update ? Fruit and vegetables are cool .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Uh you think ?Marketing: I am told .{vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: The group we are targeting is uh very pleased with fruit and vegetables.Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: So {vocalsound} we we we might cons consider in front of uh in in that sort of uh way .Industrial Designer:{vocalsound}Project Manager: Yeah , well {disfmarker}User Interface: Bananas .Marketing: Uh furthermore uh material , that's your part , should be very strong. I was thinking of something like uh {vocalsound} well uh iron plate over it ,Industrial Designer: Mm .Marketing: maybe in a colour or something ,ProjectManager: Yeah .Marketing: that looks so f really flashy but it it is also strong .Industrial Designer: {gap}Project Manager: BMarketing: And that's uh also for theyounger public .Project Manager: Well the the handy thing about our fronts is that we can follow these trends e ev every year . Th this year it's fruits but nextyear it's it's something totally different .Marketing: Yeah , that's great .User Interface: Yeah .Marketing: But I think we can all make the the fronts of titanium orsomething uh really thin .Project Manager: Yes .Marketing: So it looks very heavy but you can still uh use it very easily .Project Manager: Yep , alright .IndustrialDesigner: Mm .Marketing: Well , the don'ts . Older people like dark colours and simple shapes . Well we don't want uh older people ,User Interface:{vocalsound}Marketing: we want young people .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} {gap}Marketing: So uh we're gonna turn that around .Project Manager:{vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Alright .Marketing: We're gonna have real uh cool shapes and lots of colours . Right ?Project Manager: Wood is popular . Aha.Marketing: Okay . We don't want wood .Project Manager: {vocalsound} Yeah yeah yeah .Industrial Designer: Yeah , among the old people , yeah .Marketing:Old people . So , that's it for me .Project Manager: Alright . Nice , uh well {gap} show us .Industrial Designer: Right , I am going to tell you something about thecomponents design . Uh again I have uh put up the specification properties . This uh so um uh the different uh components of the of of the device . And thematerials ? Um I have heard several things , so I uh I'll have to change that on the way . But uh the case ? Uh I suggested uh in the previous meeting hard plastic. But uh as you indicated uh it should be strong .Marketing: Yeah , we should change that .Industrial Designer: It should feel strong . So maybe plastic is not uhsufficient .Project Manager: Well maybe it it it is ,Industrial Designer: We should move to uh something {disfmarker}Project Manager: but it doesn't look strong .So maybe {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Well yeah . Y Hard plastic i is of course uh pretty pretty tough , but it doesn't have a really really tough look . So{disfmarker}Marketing: No no no .Project Manager: But we still have to look at our price of course . Because uh if we want an L_C_D_ uh window etcetera uh{disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Yeah . Also {disfmarker} Yeah . Mm-hmm . But we'll return to that .Project Manager: Yeah ?Industrial Designer: Uh the buttonsof course rubber , I think everyone agrees . And electrical cables , copper is all pretty basic stuff . The chips made of silicon , I guess . I think that's the best uhway to do it .Project Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: And infra infrared l LED is uh just a simple bulb .Marketing: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer:Then I've uh {vocalsound} had a few findings , made a few findings . Uh the target audience product style . Um it's uh um generally the case that uh senior andwealthy people above uh forty five years old uh like , as you said , uh particularly the traditional materials as such as wood and materials such as that . They alsolike straightforward shapes and luxurious style . But of course that's not our uh things this . So this is things we must not do .Project Manager: Yes .IndustrialDesigner: And then we have uh young uh and dynamic uh people , which is of course our uh group , the people we aim at . Um under forty five years old . Uhthey like soft materials uh with primary colours . Soft materials is of course uh agai again a bit a contradiction with uh our uh material choice of what you said ,that uh it should be hard an and and and and strong looking .Marketing: Mm . Yeah .User Interface: Yeah .Industrial Designer: But they like soft materials , uh sowe might uh we have to consider that . And also they like curved round shapes . So not uh too formal like like uh the older people want . And if uh also a findingbut not very ap applicable here , that sports and gaming devices such as uh discmans for jogging and that those kind of devices , gaming devices , should definethe characteristics of the device . But uh since we don't have a really a sports or gaming device , so we don't really have to consider that .Project Manager: Sportsuh , they're uh that uh are accessible on on your L_C_D_ uh window uhUser Interface: Soccer fronts . {vocalsound} Mm .Marketing: {vocalsound}ProjectManager: {disfmarker} Huh ? {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Mm .Project Manager: That's nice . {vocalsound}User Interface: Hmm .Project Manager: All the{gap} results ?Industrial Designer: Well I also have um several examples of uh styles ,Marketing: We keep coming back to the fronts . {vocalsound}ProjectManager: {vocalsound}User Interface: Yeah . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: so you can get a clear picture of uh what I mean .Project Manager: Yeah.Industrial Designer: Uh {vocalsound} these are the basic uh older older peoples' stuff .User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Yeah .Marketing:{vocalsound} Yeah .Industrial Designer: It was not very uh interesting uh , very classical looking ,Project Manager: Mm-hmm . {vocalsound} Nai . Uh no.Industrial Designer: but that's n that's not what we want .User Interface: Hmm .Industrial Designer: We have these kind of things . I don't know what exactlythey are .Marketing: {vocalsound} Fruity . {vocalsound} Fruity .Industrial Designer: It looks like {disfmarker} Well you know uh you recognise the shapes,Project Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: it's very primary colours , uh bright colours and uh round shapes .Project Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial"}

So uh , if you could open the PowerPoint presentation .Marketing: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: I'm numbertwo .Project Manager: You're number two . 'KayIndustrial Designer: {vocalsound} Components design , there we go .Marketing: {vocalsound}IndustrialDesigner: So uh can we put it in slide show mode ? Yeah .Project Manager: The next one .Industrial Designer: Right here , is that little {disfmarker} that one ,yes please .Marketing: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Thank you .Project Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: I'll take the mouse . {vocalsound} SouhProject Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: we were looking he specifically at the components uh {disfmarker} the following components , uh the case, the power supply , uh the means of communications with the television set . In instance we had talked about using some sort of speech recognition ,ProjectManager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: you have to have microphone {disfmarker} well no you don't actually I haven't {disfmarker} have to havemicrophone in the device , but um maybe you do have it a a way {disfmarker}Marketing: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: it has to it has to hear thespeakerUser Interface: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: and um , so it could be in the television set , could be in the device , but somewhere you have to put themicrophone , um and a w a way of making beeps or sounds so you can find it when it's gets lost . Um so the other w thing that we {disfmarker} So . Our methodfor going about this is we've looked at uh the histo hi historical record , what's worked , what hasn't and then we also um {disfmarker} we wanted to evaluatesome new materialsMarketing: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: and we contacted manufacturing for their input because , course , we m might {vocalsound}come up and choose the material that then manufacturing didn't have the technologies or capabilities to offer us , so uh this is the approach that we took duringour um {disfmarker} our research .Marketing: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: So um for the case , um we told we were making a specifica specific assumptionthat it would be curved in design .Marketing: {vocalsound} {vocalsound} {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Course , you know , I wanted it to be expandable andshrinkable , but um that uh doesn't seem to b be one of the choic non-option we can uh {disfmarker} we can really seriously explore ,User Interface:{vocalsound} {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} so then we were thinking about um rubber , but um unfortunately that's been eliminated becauseof the heat uh factorUser Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: and th um there might be some {vocalsound} problems with the m uh how it's{disfmarker} {vocalsound} uh goes with the board . {vocalsound} Uh and uh then th plastic also has this problem of melting and it's brittle {disfmarker} it getsbrittle after a while ,User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: so um we still had titanium and and wood available , but um unfortunately uh uh titanium'salso been eliminated uh ,User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: the m people in manufacturing said that you couldn't make d curved cases out oftitanium , although how {vocalsound} Apple did it with th PowerBook I'm not su quite sure but uh nevertheless um they've eliminated all of our options exceptwood .User Interface: {vocalsound} At least it's environmentally friendly . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} So , {vocalsound} this is our finding.Marketing: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: And a as she said , it's an environmentally friendly uh material , so we're {disfmarker} we're {vocalsound}currently uh proposing ,Marketing: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: uh we'll get to all my personal preferences in just a second .Marketing:{vocalsound}Industrial Designer: So then there's this other matter of the chips and um well we could use a simple design on the board ,User Interface:{vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {disfmarker} uh these simple chips , but that's only works for the bu you don't get very muchum intelligence with this simple one . And um then there was the regular which {vocalsound} I regret that I've forgotten exactly why I'm eliminating that one .Uh the other option was this advanced chip on print , {vocalsound} and uh we liked th we we found that it it includes this infrared sender ,Marketing:{vocalsound}Industrial Designer: which w 'member the beam was {disfmarker} that was an important component of finding the right chip .Marketing:{vocalsound}Industrial Designer: And uh manufacturing has told us that they've um uh recently developed a uh a sensor and a speaker that would uh beintegrated into this advanced chip on print , so uh we we uh now jumping right to our personal preferences um I I'd really think we should , you know , use someof uh some really exotic woods , like um ,User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: you know uh , well you guys come from tropical countries so you cankinda think of some trees and some nice woods . I think that people will might really want to design their own cases , you see , they could do sort of a{disfmarker} this um three-dimensional design on the internet , and then they could submit their orders , kinda like you submit a custom car order , you know ,and you can choose the colour and the size of the wheels and the colours of the leather and things like that , and then I uh think we should go with the solar cellsas well as the um microphone and speaker on the advanced chip . So this is the findings of our researchMarketing: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: and myrecommendations um for the new remote control w um would be to have um have it be made out of wood . Do you have any problems with that ?ProjectManager: {vocalsound} Can you go back uh one slide ?Industrial Designer: I'm not sure , how do I {disfmarker} Oh , I know , let's see .User Interface: Thankyou . Yeah .Industrial Designer: Let's go back up here .Project Manager: Yes , uh {gap} question , uh , what's mean exactly , advanced chip on print ? What's themeaning of that ?Industrial Designer: I think it's um um a multiple uh chip design um {vocalsound} and it's uh maybe printed on to the circuit board .UserInterface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Marketing: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Uh I could find out more about that uh before the next fi nextmeeting .Project Manager: Yeah , is it means it's on the {disfmarker} yeah is it on a micro-proc micro-processor based or uh {disfmarker}Industrial Designer:{vocalsound} I don't know , but I'll find out more at our next meeting .Project Manager: Okay , tha that would be great , so if you find out from the technologybackground , okay , so that would be good .Marketing: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Sounds good .User Interface: Why was the plastic eliminated as apossible material ?Industrial Designer: Because um it gets brittle , cracks {disfmarker}User Interface: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: Um We want {disfmarker}we expect these um {vocalsound} uh these remote controls to be around for several hundred years .

There 's two sheetsof paper in front of us .PhD A: What are these ?PhD E: Yeah . So .Professor B: This is the arm wrestling ?PhD C: Uh . Yeah , we formed a coalition actually .PhD E:Yeah . Almost .PhD C: We already made it into one .Professor B: Oh , good .PhD C: Yeah .Professor B: Excellent .PhD E: Yeah .Professor B: That 's the best thing.PhD E: Mm - hmm .Professor B: So , tell me about it .PhD E: So it 's {disfmarker} well , it 's {pause} spectral subtraction or Wiener filtering , um , depending onif we put {disfmarker} if we square the transfer function or not .Professor B: Right .PhD E: And then with over - estimation of the noise , depending on the , uh{disfmarker} the SNR , with smoothing along time , um , smoothing along frequency .Professor B: Mm - hmm .PhD E: It 's very simple , smoothing things.Professor B: Mm - hmm .PhD E: And , um , {vocalsound} the best result is {vocalsound} when we apply this procedure on FFT bins , uh , with a Wiener filter.Professor B: Mm - hmm .PhD E: And there is no noise addition after {disfmarker} after that .Professor B: OK .PhD E: So it 's good because {vocalsound}{vocalsound} it 's difficult when we have to add noise to {disfmarker} to {disfmarker} to find the right level .Professor B: OK .PhD A: Are you looking at one in{disfmarker} in particular of these two ?PhD E: Yeah . So the sh it 's the sheet that gives fifty - f three point sixty - six .Professor B: Mm - hmm .PhD E: Um ,{vocalsound} the second sheet is abo uh , about the same . It 's the same , um , idea but it 's working on mel bands , {vocalsound} and it 's a spectralsubtraction instead of Wiener filter , and there is also a noise addition after , uh , cleaning up the mel bins . Mmm . Well , the results are similar .Professor B:Yeah . I mean , {vocalsound} it 's {disfmarker} {comment} it 's actually , uh , very similar .PhD E: Mm - hmm .Professor B: I mean , {vocalsound} if you look atdatabases , uh , the , uh , one that has the smallest {disfmarker} smaller overall number is actually better on the Finnish and Spanish , uh , but it is , uh , worseon the , uh , Aurora {disfmarker}PhD E: It 's worse on {disfmarker}Professor B: I mean on the , uh , TI - TI - digits ,PhD E: on the multi - condition in TI - digits .Yeah .Professor B: uh , uh . Um .PhD E: Mmm .Professor B: So , it probably doesn't matter that much either way . But , um , when you say u uh , unified do youmean , uh , it 's one piece of software now , or {disfmarker} ?PhD E: So now we are , yeah , setting up the software .Professor B: Mm - hmm .PhD E: Um , itshould be ready , uh , very soon . Um , and wePhD A: So what 's {disfmarker} what 's happened ? I think I 've missed something .Professor B: OK . So a weekago {disfmarker} maybe you weren't around when {disfmarker} when {disfmarker} when Hynek and Guenther and I {disfmarker} ?PhD C: Hynek was here .PhDA: Yeah . I didn't .Professor B: Oh , OK . So {disfmarker} Yeah , let 's summarize . Um {disfmarker} And then if I summarize somebody can tell me if I 'm wrong, which will also be possibly helpful . What did I just press here ? I hope this is still working .PhD E: p - p - pProfessor B: We , uh {disfmarker} we looked at ,{nonvocalsound} uh {disfmarker} anyway we {disfmarker} {vocalsound} after coming back from QualComm we had , you know , very strong feedback and , uh, I think it was {vocalsound} Hynek and Guenter 's and my opinion also that , um , you know , we sort of spread out to look at a number of different ways ofdoing noise suppression . But given the limited time , uh , it was sort of time to {pause} choose one .PhD A: Mm - hmm . Mmm .Professor B: Uh , and so , uh , ththe vector Taylor series hadn't really worked out that much . Uh , the subspace stuff , uh , had not been worked with so much . Um , so it sort of came down tospectral subtraction versus Wiener filtering .PhD A: Hmm .Professor B: Uh , we had a long discussion about how they were the same and how they were d uh ,completely different .PhD A: Mm - hmm .Professor B: And , uh , I mean , fundamentally they 're the same sort of thing but the math is a little different so thatthere 's a {disfmarker} a {disfmarker} {vocalsound} there 's an exponent difference in the index {disfmarker} you know , what 's the ideal filtering , anddepending on how you construct the problem .PhD A: Uh - huh .Professor B: And , uh , I guess it 's sort {disfmarker} you know , after {disfmarker} after thatmeeting it sort of made more sense to me because {vocalsound} um , if you 're dealing with power spectra then how are you gonna choose your error ? Andtypically you 'll do {disfmarker} choose something like a variance . And so that means it 'll be something like the square of the power spectra . Whereas when you're {disfmarker} when you 're doing the {disfmarker} the , uh , um , {vocalsound} looking at it the other way , you 're gonna be dealing with signalsPhD C: Mm -hmm .Professor B: and you 're gonna end up looking at power {disfmarker} uh , noise power that you 're trying to reduce . And so , eh {disfmarker} so thereshould be a difference {vocalsound} of {disfmarker} you know , conceptually of {disfmarker} of , uh , a factor of two in the exponent .PhD A: Mm - hmm.Professor B: But there 're so many different little factors that you adjust in terms of {disfmarker} of , uh , {vocalsound} uh , over - subtraction and {disfmarker}and {disfmarker} and {disfmarker} and {disfmarker} and so forth , um , that {vocalsound} arguably , you 're c and {disfmarker} and {disfmarker} and thechoice of do you {disfmarker} do you operate on the mel bands or do you operate on the FFT beforehand . There 're so many other choices to make that are{disfmarker} are almost {disfmarker} well , if not independent , certainly in addition to {pause} the choice of whether you , uh , do spectral subtraction orWiener filtering , that , um , {vocalsound} @ @ again we sort of felt the gang should just sort of figure out which it is they wanna do and then let 's pick it , goforward with it . So that 's {disfmarker} that was {disfmarker} that was last week . And {disfmarker} {vocalsound} and , uh , we said , uh , take a week , goarm wrestle , you know ,Grad D: Oh .Professor B: figure it out . I mean , and th the joke there was that each of them had specialized in one of them .PhD A: Oh ,OK .Professor B: And {disfmarker} and so they {disfmarker} so instead they went to Yosemite and bonded , and {disfmarker} and they came out with a single{disfmarker} single piece of software . So it 's {vocalsound} another {disfmarker} another victory for international collaboration . So .PhD A: So {disfmarker} soyou guys have combined {disfmarker} or you 're going to be combining the software ?Professor B: Uh .PhD C: Well , the piece of software has , like , plenty ofoptions ,PhD E: Oh boy .PhD C: like you can parse command - line arguments . So depending on that , it {disfmarker} it becomes either spectral subtraction orWiener filtering .PhD A: Oh , OK .PhD C: So , yePhD A: They 're close enough .Professor B: Well , that 's fine , but the thing is {disfmarker} the important thing isthat there is a piece of software that you {disfmarker} that we all will be using now .PhD C: Yeah . Yeah .Professor B: Yes .PhD C: There 's just one piece ofsoftware .PhD E: Yeah .Professor B: Yeah .PhD E: I need to allow it to do everything and even more {disfmarker} more than this .PhD C: Right .PhD E: Well , ifwe want to , like , optimize different parameters of {disfmarker}PhD C: Parameters . Yeah .Professor B: Sure .PhD E: Yeah , we can do it later . But , still{disfmarker} so , there will be a piece of software with , {vocalsound} {vocalsound} uh , will give this system , the fifty - three point sixty - six , by default and{disfmarker}Professor B: Mm - hmm .PhD A: How {disfmarker} how is {disfmarker} how good is that ?PhD E: Mm - hmm .PhD A: I {disfmarker} I {disfmarker}I don't have a sense of {disfmarker}PhD E: It 's just one percent off of the {pause} best proposal .PhD C: Best system .PhD E: It 's between {disfmarker} i weare second actually if we take this system .PhD A: OK .Professor B: Yeah .PhD C: Yeah .PhD E: Right ?PhD A: Compared to the last evaluation numbers ? Yeah.Professor B: But , uh {disfmarker} w which we sort of were beforePhD C: Yeah .PhD E: Mm - hmm . Yeah .Professor B: but we were considerably far behind .And the thing is , this doesn't have neural net in yet for instance . You know ?PhD E: Mm - hmm .PhD A: Hmm .Professor B: So it {disfmarker} so , um , it 's{disfmarker} it it 's not using our full bal bag of tricks , if you will .PhD A: Mm - hmm .Professor B: And , uh , and it {disfmarker} it is , uh , very close inperformance to the best thing that was there before . Uh , but , you know , looking at it another way , maybe more importantly , uh , {vocalsound} we didn'thave any explicit noise , uh , handling {disfmarker} stationary {disfmarker} dealing with {disfmarker} e e we didn't explicitly have anything to deal withstationary noise .PhD A: Mm - hmm .Professor B: And now we do .PhD A: So will the {pause} neural net operate on the output from either the Wiener filtering orthe spectral subtraction ? Or will it operate on the original ?Professor B: Well , so {disfmarker} so {disfmarker} so argu arguably , I mean , what we should do{disfmarker} I mean , I gather you have {disfmarker} it sounds like you have a few more days of {disfmarker} of nailing things down with the software and soon . But {disfmarker} and then {disfmarker} but , um , {vocalsound} arguably what we should do is , even though the software can do many things , we shouldfor now pick a set of things , th these things I would guess , and not change that .PhD E: Mm - hmm .Professor B: And then focus on {pause} everything that 'sleft . And I think , you know , that our goal should be by next week , when Hynek comes back , {vocalsound} uh , to {disfmarker} uh , really just to have a firmpath , uh , for the {disfmarker} you know , for the time he 's gone , of {disfmarker} of , uh , what things will be attacked . But I would {disfmarker} I would{disfmarker} I would thought think that what we would wanna do is not futz with this stuff for a while because what 'll happen is we 'll change many other thingsin the system ,PhD A: Mm - hmm .Professor B: and then we 'll probably wanna come back to this and possibly make some other choices . But , um .PhD A: Butjust conceptually , where does the neural net go ? Do {disfmarker} do you wanna h run it on the output of the spectrally subtracted {disfmarker} ?PhD E: Mmm.Professor B: Well , depending on its size {disfmarker} Well , one question is , is it on the , um , server side or is it on the terminal side ? Uh , if it 's on the serverside , it {disfmarker} you probably don't have to worry too much about size .PhD A: Mm - hmm .Professor B: So that 's kind of an argument for that . We do still ,however , have to consider its latency . So the issue is {disfmarker} is , um , {vocalsound} for instance , could we have a neural net that only looked at the past?PhD A: Right .Professor B: Um , what we 've done in uh {disfmarker} in the past is to use the neural net , uh , to transform , {vocalsound} um , all of thefeatures that we use . So this is done early on . This is essentially , {vocalsound} um , um {disfmarker} I guess it 's {disfmarker} it 's more or less like a spee a"}

It's a pretty simple design . It's um based on a mango ? Yeah . And {vocalsound} we{disfmarker}Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: On ?Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Mango shape .Project Manager: {vocalsound} A mango . Okay.User Interface: Yeah .

Okay .User Interface: And then theother one is the power . And uh we just have a simple design . We wanted it all to beIndustrial Designer: So it's palm-held .User Interface: accessible from yourthumbIndustrial Designer: Yeah .User Interface: {disfmarker} yeah palm-heldProject Manager: Yeah .User Interface: and all the buttons are accessible from yourthumb .Project Manager: Notice you have a number ten button .User Interface: So you don't have to {disfmarker} Oh that was a mistake , wasn't it ?ProjectManager: {vocalsound} Okay . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: You just need the nought . {vocalsound}User Interface: Right no , that's a zero .Marketing:{vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound} Take that one off . {vocalsound} Sorry . I was in charge of the numbers . {vocalsound}Project Manager:{vocalsound} No problem .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound} Ah .User Interface: And this is just if you'vegot like eleven or twelve or thirt the plus .Industrial Designer: So one plus one would be eleven ,User Interface: {vocalsound} You can go one , three orsomething .Industrial Designer: or {disfmarker}Project Manager: Oh . You press a plus button ?User Interface: You press that first and then you go one threeyeah .Project Manager: Oh okay . I've never heard of that kind before .User Interface: Well we just thought , we have all the numbers here , so we wantedsomething representative of numbers larger than ten and {disfmarker}Project Manager: Yeah .Industrial Designer: Yeah because if you {disfmarker} on youraverage um remote , if you press one twice you just go to {disfmarker} um or uh say you wanted channel twelve , you press one , and then you go to channelone , and then two then you'd just go to channel two , instead of twelve .Project Manager: Yeah .Marketing: Oh , there's no eProject Manager: Oh .IndustrialDesigner: So if you did like one plus two you could go to channel twelve , or two plus two is channel twenty two .User Interface: So the plus and then{disfmarker}Marketing: okay .User Interface: yeah .Project Manager: IMarketing: Okay .Project Manager: But {disfmarker} Would you have to go zero plus oneif you wanted to go to channel one or two ?User Interface: No no , th all {disfmarker} that's why we have all these numbers . These numbers um these numbersall work independently up to nine . {vocalsound}Project Manager: Yeah but I mean if you press , it'll go to that channel right away . 'Cause you gotta press theplus afterwards .User Interface: Yeah . Oh no . Uh , the plus is only for if you're going past the number nine .Project Manager: Yeah I know , but if if I wanna goto say number like sixty five , channel sixty five , if I press the six it'll go to channel six , and then I'll press the plus , and then it'll go to six and then put the fiveand it'll go to sixty five ?Marketing: Sixty .User Interface: You p Oh . No you press the plus first .Industrial Designer: Oh .User Interface: I I {disfmarker} well itdoesn't {disfmarker} we haven't really s I would've thought you pressed the plus first and then the six five ,Marketing: {vocalsound}User Interface: but she saysplus {disfmarker} {vocalsound} press {disfmarker} which {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Well I don't mind , we can further define that .User Interface: whatdo you think is simpler ?Project Manager: I th Um {disfmarker}User Interface: It's a {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: I wouldn't have thought it'd be a problemthat it went to channel six first , in like on the way to channel sixty five .User Interface: Yeah .Project Manager: Yeah it wouldn't be a problem . But I was justwonderingIndustrial Designer: But I suppose it's not as snappy .User Interface: Yeah .Project Manager: like as long as we realise that's what it'll do .Marketing:Well the there is a {disfmarker} there's a delay on remotes I think .User Interface: Oops . Yeah .Marketing: Where you can have it {disfmarker}IndustrialDesigner: Yeah .Marketing: it's like a five second input time .Industrial Designer: Yeah . If you don't put it {disfmarker}Marketing: So as long as you hit themdadaIndustrial Designer: Yeah . Yeah ,User Interface: Yeah .Industrial Designer: that {disfmarker} yeah .Marketing: {vocalsound} it should be fine .ProjectManager: Yeah .Marketing: As long as there's not a big pause between the t hitting the two buttons .Industrial Designer: Mm-hmm .User Interface: Yeah . So{disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Um {disfmarker}Marketing: Was there {disfmarker} so on the top there is volume and {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Andchannel ,User Interface: A channel .Industrial Designer: which is so you could just go like that without thinking about it , like {disfmarker}Marketing: Channel upvolume up . Okay cool .Project Manager: C_ and V_ .User Interface: Just so we can flick {disfmarker}Project Manager: Right , where um where's the powerbutton ?Marketing: Yeah .User Interface: It's in the middle of one of the little R_s . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: It's the bigger R_ .Marketing: It's the R_.Project Manager: Oh okay .Industrial Designer: So it's just like {vocalsound} .User Interface: Yeah ,Project Manager: Yeah .User Interface: so it's all accessible .Without m taking your hand off the remote .Industrial Designer: We deciProject Manager: Yeah .Industrial Designer: Yeah um we went for like a a circular designfor the numbersMarketing: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: because we thought that's kind of a more natural movement than just going like that with your thumb.Project Manager: Oh okay .Industrial Designer: Uh e ergonomics are all considered .Project Manager: Yeah .Marketing: Mm-hmm .Project Manager: Ergonomic ,definitely ergonomic .User Interface: And {vocalsound} it might actually help with the repetitive stress injury as well .Marketing: {vocalsound}IndustrialDesigner: It could cause another type of repetitive stress injury though .User Interface: Okay . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: But yeah , no I mean it's adifferent movementMarketing: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: so {disfmarker} yeah .User Interface: Yeah .Industrial Designer: Um and the feel of it , I mean ,we've made this out of Play Doh , which is representing the , you know , the rubber , and the spongy rubberness .Project Manager: {vocalsound}User Interface:{vocalsound}Project Manager: The spon yeah .User Interface: Yeah . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Um 'cause it was said before in the material specificationthat this {disfmarker} the {disfmarker} this anti-R_S_I_ um material is often used in stress balls so this has got a you know a bit of give to it ,Project Manager:Yeah .Industrial Designer: and it just feels feels different .User Interface: Yeah .Project Manager: Bit of a stress ball feel .Industrial Designer: Would you like tofeel it yourselves ?User Interface: Yeah . {vocalsound}Project Manager: Yes . I would .Industrial Designer: How it fits in the palm of your hand ?Marketing:{vocalsound}Project Manager: My goodness .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Thanks .Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound} There you go.Industrial Designer: And you ? {vocalsound}Project Manager: Genevieve ?Marketing: YesProject Manager: Yeah . {vocalsound}Marketing: . Oh it's nice . Oh Ithink I killed the five .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: I did .Project Manager: And something hmm . {vocalsound}Marketing: I killed the four . Ohgod . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: O Okay , as for the colours , we were presented with um a limited range of colours for this prototype .User Interface: OfPlay Doh yeah .Marketing: Oh it smells good . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: But we're thinking that , seeing as we're having it in interchangeable casinganyway , that this is not necessarily a representation of the true colours that we would necessarily use . Or the combination . Um and we're thinking to carry-onwith the fruit and vegetable theme , the colour um combination just could just be named after different fruit , like banana could be black and yellow , watermelonred and green ,Project Manager: Oh right .Industrial Designer: or vanilla might be the most popular if it just uh blends inUser Interface: 'Cause it'd be quite subtleand {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: more settled cream instead of the others are all a bit garish .Project Manager: Yeah . It looks more {disfmarker} Think likevanilla and banana would .Industrial Designer: Banana's more representative of our colour scheme , like the company {disfmarker} the yellow and black .ProjectManager: Okay yeah .User Interface: Yeah .Industrial Designer: So that {disfmarker} for corporate identity that would probably be the most strength .UserInterface: {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: I mean watermelon , you know , m probably appealing tothe {disfmarker}Project Manager: Kinda Christmas , you know .Industrial Designer: yeah , seasonal .User Interface: Yeah , yeah , yeah . {vocalsound}IndustrialDesigner: Apple green , brown , more kinda trendy , you know , khaki {disfmarker}Project Manager: Yeah .User Interface: The pomegranate's kinda girly andfunky kind of ,Project Manager: Cool .User Interface: and then the vanilla's more for the more sophisticated {vocalsound} customer who just wants somethingthat fits in with all decor .Project Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Yeah . Okay . Um yeah we thought of the components it was definitely um a focus ofergonomics and just a single ha handheld device , I mean you don't need to use both hands , one hand to hold this and type in with the other , you can just useyour thumb .User Interface: Yeah .Industrial Designer: Um , as we said the rubber's probably used for comfort and anti-R_S_I_ and that's about it .Project"}

Sorry about this guys .Project Manager: No problem .User Interface: {gap}IndustrialDesigner: 'Kay . {gap} is on . Right . {gap} Okay . I will take this time just to apologise .User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: I , I only , uh ,received my emails later on . 'Cause I was too busy carried away doing my own thing ,Marketing: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: which is not obviously not avery good part of a team-working thing .User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: But there we go .Project Manager: I'm sure it's fine .IndustrialDesigner: Um , so I was looking at how we're going to go about the working design , and what we actually need to do , and what the remote control needs to do .And it needs to um allow a person to have a portable desi device , so they can control the television from wherever they are . They don't need to actuallymanually touch the television set . So , it gives them much more flexibility , and allows them to be where they want to be . Um , from {disfmarker} Uh , on afunctional side of things , we found out that wh from our previous meeting , we decided that there're certain points that will make our product unique . Um , oneis the visibility in the dark , which was um Genevieve's idea . So we need to think about how we could bring this in um technically . And we could use illuminatedbuttons , which we are all familiar with when we're using a mobile phone , or um something fam familiar . A automatically , um lights up at first touch . Or wecould use fluorescent materials which would just um take in the light during the day , and then as soon as they go off they would glow in the dark . Um , also wecould use um an alarm . So if we lost the um remote control , perhaps there could be a button on the television set itself , which you could press , and then analarm from the handset would sound where it was , hopefully in the room . Maybe behind a cushion or somewhere .Project Manager: {vocalsound}User Interface:{vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Um , so that would work . Um , oop . Go back there . Um , another thing I think we d missed out on on the last meeting was thefact that we should consider the environmental impact of our design . Um , from previous researches I've carried out on other projects , um we've learnt aboutsmart materials where um um specific alloys of metals have a shape memory .User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: So theycan be heated and um and cooled , and they change the shape of um the metal . So , for example , a screw that's holding something together could expand and itwould force all the components apart . So um , the benefits of this for our product would be that when it came to the end of its product life , if it was heated , umeverything would spring apart . So , all the um individual components could be easily separated , and then some could be reused , some could be recycled , and Ithink that would be very important for products now . Especially 'cause there's much uh responsibility for all the um companies who are coming up with like newdesigns . 'Cause all , we all know that our resources are being limited , and we have to be very environmentally conscious .Project Manager: Right , um , onequestion . This , um , self-destructible uh metal , it allows for recycling materials ?Industrial Designer: Yeah .Project Manager: So that , um , someone could havethis product for as long as they felt that they wanted it , and then once they contribute it , then that company can break down the part , the parts better?Industrial Designer: Um {disfmarker} And then {disfmarker} Yeah . Yeah they would , um you would make the , the product as you normally would , apart fromthe , the bits that hold it all together would be made out of this shape-memory alloy . And that's the part that would um allow all the other parts to be separatedat the end . I mean , the user would return the p product to the company , 'cause it's the product's responsibility to get rid of what they've made . Um , and thenthe company could then just use , make use of this shape-memory alloys to split up the components ,Project Manager: Yeah .Industrial Designer: and then eitherreuse some bits , and other bits which are obviously gonna wear out with time , or not usable , they might be like be able to put into scrap metal . Something likethe case , if it's scratched or something , you would want to reuse it , but you might be able to melt it down and reuse it again somewhere else .Project Manager:Mm-hmm . Would we be the company that would break down these , or uh metals ? Or would we contribute to another group ?Industrial Designer: You could{disfmarker} we could probably empl em employ a , a side company or something to do that for us . But it would be our responsibility to get that done and todispose of the products that we made . For a certain percentage at least .Project Manager: Alright .Industrial Designer: Not every , not a hundred percent ofeverything we produce ,Project Manager: Okay . This sounds like a really great idea .Industrial Designer: but {disfmarker}Project Manager: One thing we have toconsider is our uh one hundred percent um turnover goal that we have for our financial sector .Industrial Designer: Yeah . Yeah .Project Manager: Um , so we'llhave to investigate how much that will cost us , cost the company ,Industrial Designer: Yeah .Project Manager: um 'cause it sounds very labour-intensive . Youwould have to hire a number of people , and it might be more expensive .Industrial Designer: Well I {disfmarker} the fact of the shape-memory alloys is thatthey , they don't need to be manually de um deconstructed . Like , you don't have to individually um unscrew all the screws . Because of this , their properties aresmart material .Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: All you need is just the heat , so they self-destruct themselves .Project Manager: Alright . We'llstill have to investigate the financial implications .Industrial Designer: So I suppose it does need like high contact , yeah , you know high uh quality machinery ,and very specific machinery , but {disfmarker}Project Manager: Alright . I like the environmental approach . Um , we'll have to see if that can meet our financialgoals as well .Industrial Designer: Yeah . Okay . Um also there is um components . This'll be how it uh will actually work . But I haven't put this plan together yet.Project Manager: I'm sorry , could you {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: There we goProject Manager: Those were um {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: . Sorry ,should I go back . This would actually show the circuit diagram . Although I haven't come up with the final circuit yet .Project Manager: Okay .Industrial Designer:So I just {gap} put all those components in .Project Manager: So those are what , um , we'll c construct the remote . Those are all the {disfmarker}IndustrialDesigner: Yeah . I it just shows what sort of energy source . It could be a battery , like rechargeable probably . Um , an' yeah , well how the infrared will actuallybe sent through the chip to be received by the chip on the television set itself .Project Manager: Alright . Great .Industrial Designer: Okay ? So , now is it F_ eightagain to escape ? Or escape ? There we go . Okay .Project Manager: Alright . Thank you very much . And , um , the next presenter will be Tara .IndustrialDesigner: Thank you .User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: There you go Tara .User Interface: Thanks . Can you see ?Marketing: Oh ,{vocalsound}User Interface: Do you think {disfmarker} Is it uh , function eight yeah ?Project Manager: Yeah .Industrial Designer: Function F_ eight .Marketing:{vocalsound} Function F_ eight .Project Manager: Function F_ eight . Sorry .Industrial Designer: The one at the top .User Interface: Oh right . Okay .Marketing:That looks right .Project Manager: Yeah .User Interface: Okay . I'm the User {vocalsound} um User Interface Designer . Uh , the technical functions design of theapparatus is the effect the apparatus should have . Um , in this case it's the function of the remote control , which is to send messages to the television ,television set . By taking inspiration from other similar designs , we'll try and come up with an original trendy remote control , which is sellable international .There're two functional design options . A multifunctional remote control , which can be used for several entertainment devices . And a single function remotecontrol , used specifically for the television . {vocalsound}Marketing: I'm sorry , what was that last one . Multifunctional and {disfmarker}User Interface: Sorry .Um , a single function just for the television itself .Marketing: Ch Oh , I see .User Interface: Yeah . Um , multifunctional controls can be difficult to use , as themultitude of buttons can be confusing . A single function remote control is simpler to use , but it means you have to have other remote controls for your otherentertainment devices .Marketing: 'Kay .User Interface: Um , I think that a single function remote control would be preferable , because it's easier to use . It'd bemore compatible with a range of television sets , making it more internationally sellable . Um , it will make an original design more obtainable , as we have lessfunctional necessities to include in the design . And it would be more profitable as it would be more simplistic . And less functions would have to be included . So itwould be cheaper to make . And probably more sellable just because it's more compatible with a r a wider range of devices . Does anyone have any questions ?{vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound} So as far as we know , um , a single function television remote control is us usable internationally ?User Interface: Well ,it's just that , when we're creating it , we're , we have to make it um compatible with different brands of devices .Marketing: {gap} Right .User Interface: And itwould be easier to make it compatible with just different brands of television devices rather than other ent ,Marketing: D_V_D_s and V_C_R_ ?User Interface:yeah ,Project Manager: Right .Marketing: Okay .User Interface: other entertainment devices .Project Manager: Does everyone agree with this ? Does anyoneobject and , and find the multifunctional might be a better way to go ?Industrial Designer: Um , {vocalsound} I was just wondering about the , what , whatGenevieve said before , about having like some hidden controls like having the outer casing . And that would probably , um , I d , well well what you said before"}

Isn't it amazing . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Huh . {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound} Yeah . Very interesting .User Interface: Uh{disfmarker}Marketing: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Industrial Designer . Interface concept.User Interface: {vocalsound} Yes , well uh let's uh talk about the interface uh concept . Uh , first I'll uh I'll uh discuss the buttons we just chose , uh show yousome samples , uh uh discuss some colours and design maybe , already . And uh my personal preferences . {vocalsound} Well we chose the power button toswitch the television on and off . The bu uh the mute button to switch the volume on and o on and off . The channels buttons , one to nine , and uh off uh uh zeroto nine , and the uh button to choose uh higher channels than nine . Uh the volume and channel quadrants , uh left and right , up and down arrows , to uh do thevolume and channel . And the menu menu button to man manipulate the L_C_D_ uh display . Um , I found some uh interesting uh uh samples . Examples.Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface: Um , well uh what's pretty standard is uh that it's {disfmarker} that they're all pretty uh uh high uh{disfmarker}Marketing: Large .User Interface: Yeah . Yeah . Large and and and pretty thin and uh and long .Marketing: A lot {disfmarker} a lot of buttonsbuttons .User Interface: Um , power buttons are mostly at the top uh left or right . Um , well we see the the the same uh arrows . Like there . And uh{disfmarker} Yeah , well arrow b buttons can be blue . And what's interesting is the the the icons on the buttons . Some buttons have icons like the play and stop, but we don't use that . But uh , these we we have to choose the right icons , or or letters . Uh this is the V_ for volume , but they're both uh a V_ .ProjectManager: {vocalsound}User Interface: So it's it's not really very uh clear what's the function of that .Marketing: Yeah .User Interface: Um {disfmarker} Yeah . So, that's {disfmarker}Project Manager: {vocalsound} Can you go back one page ? For the uh menu , what do we use for that ? We don't have buttons for themenu .User Interface: Uh , well {disfmarker}Project Manager: Or we may have to use channel of the volume and channel {gap} .User Interface: Yeah . I thoughtthat was our uh idea .Project Manager: Okay . But {gap} uh {disfmarker}User Interface: So , uh how {disfmarker}Project Manager: You have to put it on the{disfmarker}User Interface: Like this .Project Manager: Yeah .User Interface: Or or this . And that the menu button is okay .Project Manager: Yeah but , has tobe clear that you can use the arrows .User Interface: {vocalsound} Yeah , okay .Marketing: Yes .User Interface: Uh , so the {disfmarker} The icons on the arrows, as well , you mean .Project Manager: Mm-hmm . Yes . The second one .User Interface: Yeah . Uh , well that's something to uh think about .{vocalsound}Project Manager: Okay .Industrial Designer: Uh , maybe I'll have something in my uh presentation . And you will see it .User Interface: Okay.Marketing: Okay . {vocalsound}User Interface: Um , well I don't I don't know if we have to discuss this already , or in the next uh meeting .Industrial Designer:{vocalsound}User Interface: But uh , as we have to uh to to design the the case and the whole uh remote control in our uh our our corporate uh company uh uhcolours and the logo , I would uh recommend a yellow case . Uh , round edges . The logo at the bottom . And uh , well maybe each each uh set of buttons uh hasuh has his own colour . So , it's good . Uh , recognisable . K so , I think .Project Manager: {vocalsound} Not too much colours .User Interface: Uh , no . Not toomuch .Project Manager: No , it's not flower power .User Interface: But uh {disfmarker} No , no , no . But this has to be has to be trendy and uh {disfmarker} and{gap} {disfmarker} {vocalsound}Project Manager: S okay .User Interface: Uh , yeah so good uh good icons on the buttons , and uh and big buttons is my uhpersonal uh opinion .Project Manager: Okay .User Interface: That was that .Project Manager: Thank you . So , you're next .Industrial Designer: I'm next , okay .{vocalsound} Yes . No . Here we go .Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound} {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Uh , at first we will uh I will f uhsay something about what younger people want ,Marketing: {gap} Okay .Project Manager: {vocalsound}Marketing: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: our uh groupw uh w uh we want to uh sell our remote controls to . And then , I'll discuss what my opinion is about the costs , about uh what battery is in it , what kind ofbuttons also . First uh , the younger people , they want like soft mat uh materials and primary colours . Like , totally yellow , totally red . Uh , so it's visible . Uh ,the shapes are curved and round , like uh you also said . Maybe it's nice to uh get a remote control not like all the other ones , straight and uh flat and long . Butto give him the shape of your hand , so you {disfmarker} it's easier to use or something like that . But that's just an idea . And then , I'll have to discuss aboutthe costs uh of all the things for the remote control . The battery , there are few options . Uh , I think the best option is to use uh the basic battery . So ,everybody can buy it uh at the at the supermarket . Or use uh a k uh kinetic battery like uh within a watch . When you uh shake it a few times , it it's loaded . Uh, the the form of the remote control , I think it's also nice {gap} have it curved . And maybe like it's hand-shaped . Uh , so uh you take it here in your hand andhere are the buttons . Uh material , you use plastic . Hard plastic uh because uh {gap} it won't have to burst uh like in the {disfmarker} in one time . And alsorubber because the younger people like that , what we see in the research . Uh the push-buttons . We have one new thing uh discovered . It's a scroll push uhthing like a mouse . Maybe it's uh easy to use uh for the channels . When you want to go m move up , you just scroll up and click on the button , if you wanna seethe next , uh if you wanna see that channel . And also for the mouse , uh for the volume , it's also uh easy to use . Just scroll a bit up , scroll a bit down . Andthat's also easy just w when you have a thing like this , and you get it here . You can do it with your thumb . And with your l left hand you can uh push thebuttonsMarketing: Hmm .Industrial Designer: uh if you {gap} push uh channel one , you can see channel one . The electrics um with a scroll push uh button , wemust use regular uh chips . There are also uh simple chips . They are uh cheaper . Um , but then we have just a basic uh uh remote control , and I think there area lot of those uh things , and people won't buy it any more . They have seen enough of it . And you have also advanced um chips . But that's with the L_C_D_ uhscreen . And the costs will increase a lot more . And I think our budget is too low to use and an L_C_D_ , and the chip who is more expensive . And maybe it'salso then uh thoughtful if we u uh use uh as um different kind of uh shapes for the {disfmarker} for remote control , that we then use the primary colours . Like ,you get a yellow uh remote control , red one , blue one , et cetera . You have any more questions about this ? I think the main thing is we look at the costs.Marketing: Yep .Project Manager: Hmm .Industrial Designer: And not too basic , not a basic remote control , who everybody already has .Marketing: Yeah . But ,thi i uh {disfmarker} This is with an L_C_D_ ? No ,Industrial Designer: Not with an L_C_D_ .Marketing: not .Project Manager: No , isn't .Industrial Designer: No.Project Manager: But the L_C_D_ is easy when you use the scroll uh buttons . Then you can scroll , you see what number , and then you push .IndustrialDesigner: Yeah . But then , what I say , the costs will uh get a lot higher .Project Manager: But then it's not easy to use scroll uh wheel . If you don't{disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Th then you'll see it on the television .Project Manager: Hmm , yes . But then . Yeah , then you go one down one up . When youscroll .Industrial Designer: but l when you see a menu uh on the television , it's like you see uh one to twenty , you go uh uh s scroll up , and push number twtwenty . YeahProject Manager: but like we said before , it has to be used on every television . Yeah So you may not be uh {disfmarker}Industrial Designer:{vocalsound}Project Manager: No . The television must do that . So {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Mm-hmm . Yeah , I think the younger people will havenewer televisions , which can provide our uh remote control .Project Manager: Yeah but young people have to have all their uh room . And mostly they aresmaller . So {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Yes . But that won't be a problem . I think .Project Manager: Most the times that are not advanced televisions.Industrial Designer: No , but then we'll get to the regular uh remote controls .Marketing: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: And I think , what I said , everybodyhas them uh has them already . And they go to a uh supermarket and buy them uh for two Euros . Uh , and ge and get the most cheapest uh thing . And I thinkwe must look further to uh to devel d develop something news .Project Manager: Okay .Marketing: Uh , can you give an indication in b uh in the cost differencebetween uh the chip with L_C_D_ or without ?Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} I got it on my screen and it was uh higher . But I don't know uh how muchhigher . {vocalsound}Marketing: 'Cause it {disfmarker}Project Manager: That's important .Marketing: I think if we have an L_C_D_ , it will also sell a lot better.Industrial Designer: That's true .Marketing: And that might uh bring back the costs uh {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: But then we'll {disfmarker} I think wemust discuss who {disfmarker} uh what will be better . If we have a better shape of the um remote control , or better options on it . With a scroll menu , a wscroll thing , and a L_C_D_ . And then a flat um remote control . Or , a more hand-shaped remote control , with scroll , without L_C_D_ .Project Manager: Yeah .Maybe you can look how how much it is for the L_C_D_ .Industrial Designer: I can uh look on my uh {disfmarker} {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound}It's very important .Industrial Designer: {gap} Uh {disfmarker} Note that the push-button requires a simple chip chip . A scroll wheel requires minimally aregular chip , which is a higher price range . The display requires a advanced chip , which is which in turn is more expensive than the regular chip .Project"}

We've received no apologies for absence.Can I ask Members whether there are any declarations of interest, please? No. Okay. Thank you. Item 2 this morning is our evidence session with the CabinetSecretary for Education for our inquiry into the status of the Welsh baccalaureate qualification. I'm very pleased to welcome Kirsty Williams AM, Cabinet Secretaryfor Education; Kevin Palmer, who is deputy director, pedagogy, leadership and professional learning; and Andrew Clark, deputy director, further education andapprenticeships division. So, thank you all for attending, and we're looking forward to hearing what you've got to say. If you're happy, Cabinet Secretary, we'll gostraight to questions.Kirsty Williams AM: Of course.Lynne Neagle AM: And the first questions are from Julie Morgan.Julie Morgan AM: Thank you very much,Chair, and bore da. I was going to ask some general questions about the value of the baccalaureate. Could you give us your views on how the Welsh bac is valuedby learners and teachers?Kirsty Williams AM: Bore da, Julie, and thank you very much for your question. Firstly, I'd like to begin by saying that I as the CabinetSecretary value the qualification very much indeed. I believe that it helps ensure that we are able to give our young people in Wales a broad and balancedcurriculum, recognising the need to develop knowledge and skills in core subjects but recognising also that the purpose of education is to help prepare ourchildren for further study and the world of work, and I believe that the skills challenge element of the baccalaureate does just that. I meet with young people andteachers all the time who tell me about the positive experiences they have had studying for the Welsh bac, and much of that was evidenced in QualificationsWales's review into the Welsh baccalaureate. They did focus group work with a representative sample, and many of the learners expressed the fact that they haveenjoyed studying for the qualification and have gained a great deal from it. I meet regularly with individuals who have been able to use their bac to successfullygain a place at university, so I believe there's a huge value for Welsh young people being able to study this particular qualification alongside the more traditionalqualifications that perhaps we're all used to. I think the challenge is that, given that many people are very familiar with what a GCSE is and, as parents, we willknow what that is and many of us will have done—some of us are so old we'll have done O-levels. We know what those traditional qualifications look like, andtherefore a new qualification—there's always a job of work to do to communicate that, if people aren't used to it, but I value it hugely. I think that, whilst there isalways room for improvement—and, of course, you'll be aware of the review that Qualifications Wales undertook and that has suggested ways in which we canfurther improve and refine the qualification, but I think it is a valuable piece of work for Welsh young people to undertake.Julie Morgan AM: It's great that you'vebeen around listening to learners and what they have said about it. Have you had any negative feedback?Kirsty Williams AM: Well, occasionally, of course, we dohave concerns raised with us, and those concerns are similar to the ones that have been raised in the Qualifications Wales review. So, for instance, we sometimeshave concerns about how some students balance the Welsh bac with other qualifications they may be taking. Some teachers feed back around the workloadissues associated with the Welsh baccalaureate. For some students, there may be concerns about the nature of the Welsh bac and whether that can impactnegatively on their well-being. And, obviously, that's why Qualifications Wales have undertaken this piece of work so that we can refine, if necessary, thatqualification and how we continue to look at how we ensure my belief that taking the Welsh bac should be the norm for students but also recognising that, insome cases, there needs to be flexibility to ensure that the well-being of the student is not compromised.Julie Morgan AM: And so would you say that it's valuedby learners more or less at key stage 4 or post 16?Kirsty Williams AM: Well, I think that, as I said, the vast majority of students I meet report very positivelyabout the opportunities that are afforded for studying at that level. Occasionally, we hear from students who I believe think that in studying the subject they maybe compromising their chances because they want to do additional A-levels, and I'm sure we'll come on to, later on, whether universities, and whether the RussellGroup universities in particular, value the qualification. But I feel that there are particular strengths. And I think what's really important, and, in talking touniversities, since the qualification became graded, rather than just a pass/fail qualification—I think that added rigour since 2015 has been particularly importantin ensuring that there's real value in students undertaking that work.Julie Morgan AM: And what about the effect that the leadership in the school has on the waythat the bac is received? Have you—?Kirsty Williams AM: As always, Julie, leadership is crucial, and students' experiences can be very coloured by the attitudetowards the teacher delivering that particular course. And, therefore, we need to continue, alongside the WJEC and Qualifications Wales, to ensure that the Welshbac is communicated to children in a positive way, the benefits are explained to children and their parents, and, also, we need to ensure that those who aretasked with teaching Welsh bac in their schools or colleges feel confident in their ability to do so and to ensure that students have a really positive experience ofthat qualification, because if you're being taught by someone who is telling you, 'Oh, I don't know why we're having to do this', then, obviously that's going tocolour how you feel about it. And, if I'm honest, I recently attended a youth forum, where young people from the county were discussing all sorts ofissues—everything from the environment to their experience in school—and I was struck by the group of year 12 and year 13 students. I specifically asked themabout the bac—I always take the opportunity to ask them about their experience of the baccalaureate. One school, the group of students said, 'It's fantastic. Wereally enjoy it. It's really valuable. I'm learning a lot.' Students from a school seven miles away—just seven miles away—said, 'Oh, I don't know why we're havingto do this.' And I suspect that that has got more to do with how that is being delivered in their institutions than it has about the quality of the qualification. So, weneed to keep ensuring that those who are tasked with this see it as important, communicate that to students, and have the confidence and the ability to deliver areally positive experience.Julie Morgan AM: I think our experiences in the committee are very similar. Within the same room, actually, we've had two completelydifferent sets of views. So, what do you intend to do to try to ensure that there's consistent support and enthusiasm for the bac from the leaders?Kirsty WilliamsAM: Well, first of all, we have the design group of Qualifications Wales looking to address some of the issues that arose out of the report around ensuring that,especially from a teacher workload perspective, it's not too onerous in terms of assessment. So, there's that to do to make sure that we're not asking children toduplicate and do things over and over and over again, which, of course, for any of us, would be wearing and we would question to the value of. So, there's thedesign group looking at the qualification itself. We are ensuring, as part of our professional learning for teachers that—. There are existing opportunities via theregional consortia for support for teaching of the qualification. The WJEC has resources and support available, but we will look, as we roll out our nationalapproach to professional learning, at that the professional learning needs of those already in the system are addressed. Of course, our accreditation for our newinitial teacher education is predominantly addressed at being able to deliver the new curriculum, but, if you think about the elements of 'Successful Futures' andthe skills and the knowledge and the pedagogy associated with that, it's very much in line with the Welsh baccalaureate challenge certificate. So, actually, thereare opportunities via initial teacher education as well, and we continue to need to look to work with our partners to be able to reinforce why this is a worthwhilequalification. And I have to say I think the best people to do that—. It's not me. I'd like to see past students of the Welsh baccalaureate being able to talk abouttheir own experiences and why it's made a difference to them. I come across individuals for whom their place at university has been secured by that Welshbaccalaureate, and, all of a sudden, if that's what's got you your place, it becomes a lot more valuable than perhaps it was six months before. We need to makesure that students are aware, and teachers and school leaders are aware, of the importance that this qualification has.Lynne Neagle AM: Suzy, did you have asupplementary?Suzy Davies AM: Yes. I've got one on IT, but I'll leave that one. I just want to go back to Julie's question about whether there was a differentperspective or a different sense of value for students who are post 16 and those who are pre 16. When one of the college leaders here was asked whether he hadpeople coming to him in his FE college who've been through the pre-16 bac and had heard evidence or had stories of, basically, those children cobbling togethertheir bac in the last four weeks of term before they got there, he said that yes, that is his experience. Does that worry you at all, because, of course, the wholepurpose of bac is to teach skills over a period of time, and its purpose cannot be fulfilled by getting it all done in the last term of—which year am I in?—year 11, inorder to satisfy the curriculum?Kirsty Williams AM: Yes. Obviously, that's not the experience that we would want young people to have, and, as someone who hashad a daughter just finish year 11, that's certainly not the experience that my daughter had in her particular school, and I have another daughter who has justgone into year 10, where the Welsh bac has started in year 10 and it is a a two-year course in which elements are undertaken. Obviously, we will need toaddress, as part of the design group and the work that Qualifications Wales is doing, how that is playing out in individual schools. But that would not be a positiveexperience; we want this to be taken in exactly the same way as we would expect a GCSE to be taught over a period of two years. But, Andrew, I don't know ifthere's anything you'd like to add from the college perspective.Andrew Clark: I think it is variable. I think that it will depend on the feeder schools to the collegesand it'll depend upon the delivery models that are in existence in those schools. It's been around as a qualification now for about a decade, I think. There havebeen differences in the way that the subject has been—sorry, not the subject, the qualification has been delivered. And I think it'll be helped by a recent reviewby Qualifications Wales, because they're doing a survey at the moment as to different delivery models in different locations, and that, perhaps, will inform more"}

So this bl this button will be used both for the favourites and for programming {vocalsound} your uh the um the type of televisionyou wanna use . So um the plastic is the white area of this {disfmarker} of the model here , and the red area is like a rubber covering .Project Manager: It'spretty cool .User Interface: So you can see that when it lays like this or like this {disfmarker} and the buttons are all gonna be rubber , so it's pretty hard toactually damage it um {disfmarker}Project Manager: Is that {disfmarker} could that be easy to {disfmarker} for the scroll wheel to be rotated if it lands on it?User Interface: Yeah that might be a possible a mi uh possible problem , but if you drop it {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Not helping {vocalsound} .ProjectManager: {vocalsound}User Interface: yeah {vocalsound} .Project Manager: Oh well I guess it depends on the stiffness a little of it .User Interface: Yeah and itdepends on if it's sliding , but I think it's pretty ergonomic . You can feel it .Project Manager: Mm . Feels good .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager:I take it that this is gonna be slightly lighter in the final design as well .User Interface: Yeah of course . Well this is clay {vocalsound} .Industrial Designer:{vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound} Yeah it's kinda cool . You have to reach a little bit don't you .User Interface: Yeah the the power button is a bit of areach , but I think we might scale down the final model a bit .Project Manager: Ah yeah that wouldn't make sense .User Interface: {vocalsound} These{disfmarker} this is a bit larger than it would be , but {disfmarker}Project Manager: It's cool . I'm impressed .Industrial Designer: Don't have no one to handlethat .User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: And hold it so {vocalsound} {disfmarker}Marketing: Mm that's {disfmarker}Project Manager: wh what's themarketing perspective ?Marketing: oh that's {disfmarker} oh I like it . I mean you guys gave me more than I was asking for , so I'm happy because we've gotsome really marketable features in this . Yeah I think it's good .

Um no no no tha that's alriProject Manager: {vocalsound} So the the two blue {disfmarker} are are those for the the it to charge offof {disfmarker} in ?User Interface: Exactly that's exactly what those are for .Project Manager: Ah okay okay .User Interface: And um there's one other featurethat we were debating , but we decided to go against it , is um {disfmarker} you couldIndustrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound}UserInterface: beep beep beep {vocalsound} {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface: we were thinking that it might be interesting to have atrigger button here because you have this finger {disfmarker}Project Manager: Yeah {vocalsound} it's the right shape isn't it ?User Interface: it it's it kinda feelslike there should be something there , but we couldn't figure out what button is important enough to put there . And we we don't wanna accidentally be hitting thepower button like that so {disfmarker}Project Manager: But maybe if you had a trigger plus the scroll then that would get past the the problem of it landing andscrolling ,User Interface: Mm .Project Manager: 'cause then it would need to be hit on both sides {gap} .User Interface: Right . So maybe in a final design phasewe might tweak that a little bit ,Project Manager: Okay .User Interface: but {disfmarker}Marketing: Uh , I can see that .Project Manager: But it's definitely gotoptions for like different types of models and things as well based on that , hasn't it ?User Interface: Mm-hmm .Marketing: Yep I like . Good job .Project Manager:So is that the the final colour scheme as well or ?Marketing: {vocalsound} No no .User Interface: Oh no this is {vocalsound} just what we had to work with at thetime .Project Manager: Okay .User Interface: So we'll leave the colour scheme up to the marketing people .Project Manager: The {disfmarker} hmm .UserInterface: {vocalsound} Careful .Project Manager: It came off . The scroll wheels , {gap} a problem with them not being sort of {disfmarker}User Interface:{vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: I don't think the user interface guy wants to touch it anymore .Marketing: Well I mean of course, I mean {disfmarker}User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: My my s my suggestion is we're gonna go go to the silvers andblacks like most of the televisions .Project Manager: Mm .Marketing: You know some blend of silvers and blacks .User Interface: {vocalsound} Beep beep beep .{vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound} Okay enough of that .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Well i it's cool guys .

Um uh they're telling me that um when we build uh a remote control of um of plastic or rubber , the uh buttons have to be uh rubber too . Mm{disfmarker} It's okay . Yeah . I when we use a rubbled {disfmarker} a doubled curved case , we must use a rubber push-buttons to {disfmarker} uh the therubber double-curved case is a is a t uh three-dimensional uh curve in the in the design , which is uh necessary when we want to be trendy . Uh {disfmarker}UmUser Interface: Oh .Industrial Designer: the energy source , uh I've got a lot of possibilities for that too . Um , uh the basic battery , which I thi prefer becauseof its uh its non uh non-depending of of of uh um {disfmarker} Uh here you have to have a hand uh {disfmarker} yeah , kinetic uh energy . Also in uh this one ,like in the watches , but a remote control can lie on a table for a day , and then you push uh a button and {disfmarker} so you don't have to uh walk with it allthe all the time . Mm , solar cells are also uh a bit weird for uh remote controls .Marketing: {vocalsound} {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound}{vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Um uh also the case material , uh I think that plastic is the is the best with rubber , because uh wood or titanium would also bea bit weird .User Interface: Oh titanium is probably trendy , I think . {gap} .Marketing: That's true , I guess . Yeah .User Interface: Well , maybe a little bitexpensive .Marketing: {vocalsound}User Interface: I don't know .Industrial Designer: Uh , they don't tell anything about the cost of uh titanium .Marketing: Huh.Industrial Designer: Um the chip {disfmarker} uh the chip set uh and the board is uh all off the shelf . Also , the speaker in the remote control , when we want toretrieve it . Um , the base station is also off the shelf , all the materials and the components are uh just available in uh in our uh factory . Mm , I've told about uhthe three first points . Mm , the simple electronical chip uh is is available uh with the LED transmitter uh transmitter . Uh , it's all uh off the shelf and even thespeaker and the wireless retriever are all uh available in our company . Um , another possibility . I uh yeah , I looked up on was uh the L_C_D_ displays . Couldbe uh something special to our uh remote control , and it's possible , but it only cost a bit more , but maybe it can be uh within the limits of twenty five Euros.Project Manager: Twelve and a half . Actually {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Ah yeah .Marketing: Yeah .User Interface: Yeah , production cost .IndustrialDesigner: {vocalsound} I th I got an email with uh some examples and it {disfmarker} these were were the most trendiest one .User Interface:{vocalsound}Industrial Designer: You see uh a covers , which can be {disfmarker}Project Manager: What are those , t tooth uh brushes , or soUser Interface:{vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Um , I don't know .

Exactly .IndustrialDesigner: {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Okay .User Interface: Um , yeah . Well , the functions are are not more to discuss , I think.Project Manager: No . No .User Interface: It's it's just the base things we already discussed that the {disfmarker} no V_C_R_ or that kind of{disfmarker}Marketing: No .User Interface: uh , so that's very easy .

We decided to usea single touch-screen . So , we've worked out this concepts , how to how to hold it , where to put the buttons and and stuff . And um , well , we began with uhwith a form of shape , that is uh is easy to hold w in one hand , left or right handed .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface: So , we made i it a little bitless thick and uh it has some ar artistic meaning . No ? This uh isn't nothing . {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound}UserInterface: Idea maybe uh is better .Project Manager: {vocalsound}User Interface: Um well , during the meeting I showed you the concept of uh placing thebuttons on top , usable with your thumb , and uh the menu structure , uh if necessary , with your other hand , so it's just gonna hold it easily .Project Manager:{vocalsound}User Interface: And it has to be acce accessible with your uh other hand too , of course .Project Manager: {vocalsound} {vocalsound}UserInterface: So we began uh working out a concept .Industrial Designer: Yeah , uh well , and as you saw , we would just have the basic remote with the panelL_C_D_ uh screen . Well , these would be the main buttons , h you could uh change them later on in your own profile if you want to . But , well it's standard theywill be delivered with this kind of uh set-up . We have the {gap} more advanced menu uh setting right here . We have the sub-menus and stu stuff . We made atop {disfmarker} oh , or a front view . Just so like you wanna uh back view . As you can see , this uh {disfmarker} there , there are uh two uh weird bumps in it.Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} This is for uh the added uh effect of uh well uh y youth and dynamic .And uh this is for the artistic effect .Project Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Well , what we figured is uh we'll show you a picture {gap} later on {gap}you have more b a better idea after that . But , idea is for to stay in balance with these two uh {disfmarker} with these two .Marketing: Hmm .IndustrialDesigner: And so when you put it on the table , it will just {gap} lay down . It won't {vocalsound} uh roll around or stuff . But it will lie more in your hand like anold telephone maybe , or like these old uh phones .Project Manager: Mm .Industrial Designer: Y you you may get the idea . So thi this is about uh how we figuredit should be . The s panel we g you would hide with some more uh rubber layers , like we discussed early on . Uh , you would s you wouldn't see the uh straightpanel , but more fluidly and round .User Interface: Yeah , the panel just uh of course goes like this .Industrial Designer: Yeah .User Interface: But the overlayinglayer is uh a little bit uh curved and stuff .Project Manager: No , okay .Marketing: Okay .Industrial Designer: And uh , in these bumps you could actually uh {gap}put some electronics uh that would {disfmarker} you can make a more thinner uh design ,Marketing: Yeah .Industrial Designer: and that would actually look verynice , yeah .User Interface: Yeah .Industrial Designer: And uh , about the colour , what have {disfmarker}User Interface: Yeah . Oh , we added that this um canbe held with your hands for this {disfmarker} maximum is om yeah , one and a half centimetres . So , you have room here for your battery and maybe evenother um electronic chips . S and you can just be the the layer of the touchscreen and some {disfmarker} have some wires underneath it to make it as uh thin aspossible in the middle for good grip .Marketing: Okay . Hmm .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Yeah , f uh , as colours , do you do you have the picture in uh{disfmarker}User Interface: Yeah .Industrial Designer: Oh yeah . Now , well this is the idea about uh the bumps . Uh , you can see there's a v a very uh youthfuluh dynamic uh exterior . It uh {disfmarker} you just want to hold it you uh you are young and uh dynamic like us .Marketing: 'S l {disfmarker} it's like an uhEaster egg .User Interface: Yeah .Industrial Designer: Yeah , it's like an e but this is for children . We we want a more adult version . But , this is like a remotecontrol for children .Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: It's called a weemote {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} {gap} .

We've received apologies forabsence from Siân Gwenllian and there is no substitute this morning. Can I ask if Members have got any declarations of interest they'd like to make, please? No?Okay. Thank you. Item 2 this morning, then, is a further session on our follow-up on our 'Mind over matter' report. I'm very pleased to welcome Carol Shillabeer,who is chief executive of Powys Teaching Health Board, and who manages the Together for Children and Young People programme. Thank you very much forattending, and thank you for the written update that you provided in advance to the committee. We've got a lot of ground that we want to cover this morning, soif it's okay we'll go straight into questions. If I can just start and ask you if you're satisfied with the progress that's been made since the programme wasestablished in 2015.Carol Shillabeer: Thank you very much for that question, Chair. I've got to say 'yes', in many regards. So, the key focus of the programme inthe early stages was about improving access to specialist child and adolescent mental health services. We developed the windscreen model—or we lifted thewindscreen model. Other models that are very similar have been talked about as well, and our big focus was on ensuring that we could make immediate progressaround access to specialist CAMHS. It's some years ago now since this committee did the original report, and obviously Healthcare Inspectorate Wales and theWales Audit Office had done reports in the past, and I think there was a need for a programme that could focus on action. You'll see in the written update that wecovered quite a large number of areas, and so therefore had to make a prioritisation. The prioritisation was at the specialist CAMHS end. We have provided thecommittee with a red, amber or green rating of where we feel that we were, and that was just before submission of the evidence. Overall I would say we havemade progress. I recognise you recognise that in your 'Mind over matter' report, and that is pleasing. What I would say, though, is that there's a still a lot to bedone. Certainly over the last nine months or so, we've seen a real momentum around the whole-school approach work, which we're not actually leading now as aprogramme, although we facilitated the workshop held in September. But that's got a real momentum, and the absolute priority now is the early help andenhanced support part of the work moving forward, and I'm sure we will come on to that in more detail. But we know there is more community workforce inspecialist CAMHS, we know we're seeing children in a shorter time frame, and we know we're accepting more referrals, so our indicators are telling us we aremaking progress.Lynne Neagle AM: Thank you. And you referred to the work on the whole-school approach, which is very welcome, and I recognise that theprogramme has been involved in driving that as well. But I'm sure you'll also recognise the emphasis that the committee has placed on this being a whole-systemapproach to children and young people's mental health, and we feel very strongly that if any of the areas get out of balance, then it will jeopardise the progress inother parts of the programme. Are there any particular areas where you feel you haven't made enough progress that you'd like to draw the committee's attentionto?Carol Shillabeer: This is maybe about what the programme's done, but really around the broader sense as well. I'm going to be very straight and say weshould have made more progress on psychological therapies. I'm disappointed that we haven't. I'm assured that we've got capacity in place now and the drive inplace to get the Matrics Cymru framework developed for children and young people. I've had discussions with the national psychological therapies committee,who have owned this, and we're working together more on this area. That's not to say for one minute that health boards and local areas haven't been working onpsychological therapy service provision and changing the models, but that is an area we should have made, I think, earlier progress on. There's been a generalreflection from myself and the Together for Children and Young People programme board over the phase of the programme. I think we started very strongly; Ithink we probably had a bit of a lull in the middle, if I'm truthful about that—we had a change of personnel, and we really gathered a momentum over the lastyear or 18 months, and that has helped to push us from a focus on specialist CAMHS into that whole-school approach. But, if I could just agree with yourcomments about the whole system, it has to be the whole system and that's why the real focus now on early help and enhanced support is critical. If I can justsay, in case I don't get a chance to say this later, I was delighted to see the focus on youth work yesterday, because what is clear is for that part, the early helpand enhanced support, this isn't just about the NHS and it's not just about education, it's about every part of the system, really, which does make it morecomplex. But I just wanted to say that I think that youth work has perhaps not have the recognition that it's needed and yesterday was a positive step.LynneNeagle AM: Okay, thank you. We've got some questions now on early help and enhanced support from Janet Finch-Saunders.Janet Finch-Saunders AM: Thankyou. Good morning. In terms of local primary mental health support services, what is your understanding of the issues leading to some health boards not meetingthe Mental Health (Wales) Measure 2010 targets for assessment and therapy for children and young people, and how much of this is due to an increase indemand?Carol Shillabeer: Yes, thanks very much. So, it's important to say, I think, at the outset, just by way of reminder, that the target, quite rightly, changedfor children and young people. The target changed some years ago for adults, so it was only right that there was an equalisation around children. So, the serviceswere working, a couple of years ago, with significant demand and then a change in the standard. I think you're absolutely right; your question alludes to the factthat some health boards are struggling to maintain the full performance around seeing children, particularly within the 28 days. I would say—. And we've hadsome discussion about whether the impact of the mental health Measure has actually drawn perhaps some of the workforce, the staff, who would have beenworking at that earlier stage in local primary mental health, into a bit more of the secondary element, which is why the review being undertaken by the NHSdelivery unit into primary care CAMHS is so critical, because, actually, if we don't have—and I believe we don't have—enough capacity in that part of the system,then referrals will move towards the more specialist end of this. So, I think we will have seen, by the evidence submission, that demand has increased, not just inWales but in the UK, and it has increased significantly. We are doing reasonably well at meeting that demand—so, we have more contacts, more staff, shorteraccess times, so that is a good news story. We've not got it completely sustained at this stage, and therefore the focus of the delivery unit's primary care CAMHSreport is what more can we do in that part of the system to help to see children and young people or provide consultation and liaison to others and support peopleat that level of intervention.Janet Finch-Saunders AM: Thank you. I know, from my own experience as a constituency AM, I have families who tell me that theycan't get into the early interventions and eventually things just become so—they end up in the more specialist ones and believe that that's—. And I don't like toput it in resource terms, but it's false economy in terms of the impact on the child and the family, but, obviously, in terms of cost as well. Do you find that that's acommon theme across Wales?Carol Shillabeer: Yes. I think that the thrust of that is absolutely right. So, we absolutely need to see children and families at theearliest intervention and that's why this is a whole system, not compartmentalised. I think there have been really good attempts in a couple of areas of thatgreater reach out and that earlier help—hot clinics and those sorts of initiatives that help people not to get in a long queue for specialist CAMHS, but can besupported, often by telephone, at that earlier stage. My sense of where we go next, in terms of, you know, you talk about early help and enhanced support for allthe 'missing middle', as you referred to it in your report, is to make sure we've got a fully joined-up, multi-agency team approach to that. And I think that willneed some resourcing to support that, yet to be fully determined. But yesterday's announcement about youth work, the Government's commitment to primarycare, CAMHS, et cetera—that's all going to be very helpful to prevent those young people having to go into specialist CAMHS. And just a final note on that, if Imay—at the beginning of the programme, we had a report from Hafal called 'Making Sense' and there were 10 key asks, if you like, of the system and the servicefrom young people who had experience of the service. They said, 'Please don't medicalise it'—I'm paraphrasing now, of course—'Please don't medicalise it; pleasefocus on supporting teachers and others who can support us at an earlier stage and then, when we really need help, please ensure that it is there at that morespecialist level.' That's been a bit of a guiding principle for the programme. So, that reflects the questions that you were asking, really.Janet Finch-Saunders AM:Thank you. What are the outcomes of the stakeholder workshop held last week on early help and enhanced support? And how are the actions going to be takenforward and implemented? And also, given that the Together for Children and Young People programme comes to an end in October of this year, who, in yourview, is best placed to forward this work stream, and what will be the biggest challenges? It's a bit of a long question, so, break it up however you like.CarolShillabeer: That's absolutely fine.Janet Finch-Saunders AM: And what will be the biggest challenges that they will face?Carol Shillabeer: Yes, I think that'shelpfully laid out in three stages. So, you're absolutely right, there was a highly successful workshop last week really focusing on early help and enhancedsupport. It brought all of the agencies together, which was—and actually had a bit of a waiting list, apparently, for places. So, there was a lot of demand and a lotof interest in this. In relation to the next steps, there is a planning group reflection in early July, in terms of the outcomes of the workshop or the outputs of theworkshop, and there are three commitments that have been made to this stage. One is that we develop those values-led approaches that will bring multipleagencies together to have that common purpose. The second one is to develop the ingredients for successful working in this area, and then, thirdly, to determineor propose priorities and sequencing of next steps. So, that's the next stage of that.

And you all arrived on time . Um yeah so des uh {vocalsound} design a new remotecontrol . Um , as you can see it's supposed to be original , trendy and user friendly . Um so that's kind of our our brief , as it were . Um and so there are threedifferent stages to the design . Um I'm not really sure what what you guys have already received um in your emails . What did you get ?Industrial Designer: Um ,I just got the project announcement about what the project is {vocalsound} .Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: Designing a remote control.Marketing: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: That's about it , didn't get anything else .Marketing: Mm-hmm . Yeah , that's that's it .Project Manager: Is that whateverybody got ?Industrial Designer: Did you get the same thing ?User Interface: Yeah .Project Manager: Okay .Marketing: Yeah .Project Manager: Um . So we'regonna have like individual work and then a meeting about it . And repeat that process three times . Um and at this point we get try out the whiteboard over there. Um . {vocalsound} So uh you get to draw your favourite animal and sum up your favourite characteristics of it . So who would like to go first ?Marketing: I willgo . That's fine .Project Manager: Very good . {vocalsound}Marketing: Alright . So {disfmarker} {vocalsound} {vocalsound} This one here , right ?ProjectManager: Mm-hmm .Marketing: Okay . Very nice . Alright . My favourite animal is like {disfmarker} {vocalsound} {vocalsound} A beagle .Project Manager:{vocalsound}Marketing: Um charac favourite characteristics of it ? Is that right ?Project Manager: Yeah . Yeah .Marketing: Uh , right , well basically um highpriority for any animal for me is that they be willing to take a lot of physical affection from their family . And , yeah that they have lots of personality and uh be fitand in robust good health .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: So this is blue . Blue beagle . My family's beagle .Project Manager: Right .Marketing:{vocalsound}Project Manager: Lovely . {vocalsound}User Interface: {gap} Well , my favourite animal would be a monkey .Project Manager:{vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound} Then they're small cute and furry , and uh when planet of the apes becomes real ,{vocalsound} I'm gonna be up there with them .Marketing: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Cool .Project Manager: Right .User Interface: {vocalsound}{vocalsound}Industrial Designer: There's too much gear . {vocalsound}Project Manager: You can take as long over this as you like , because we haven't got anawful lot to discuss .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Ok oh we do we doUser Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Don't feel like you're ina rush , anyway .Industrial Designer: Okay .Marketing: I coulda told you a whole lot more about beagles .Project Manager: Ach {gap} why not{disfmarker}Marketing: Boy , let me tell you . {vocalsound}Project Manager: We might have to get you up again then .User Interface: {vocalsound}ProjectManager: I don't know what mine is .

Um , well anyway , I don't know , it's just the first animal I can think off the top of my head . Um . Yes . Big reason is'cause I'm allergic to most animals . Allergic to animal fur ,Project Manager: Ah .Industrial Designer: so um fish was a natural choice . Um , yeah , and I kind oflike whales . They come in and go {vocalsound} eat everything in sight . {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer:And they're quite harmless and mild and interesting .Marketing: {vocalsound} Alright . Mm .Project Manager: Okay . God , I still don't know what I'm gonna writeabout . Um .Marketing: Superb sketch , by the way .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Tail's a bit big , I think . {vocalsound}Project Manager: I was gonnachoose a dog as well .Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: But I'll just draw a different kind of dog .Marketing: Yep .Project Manager: M my favourite animalis my own dog at home . {vocalsound} Um {disfmarker} That doesn't really look like him , actually . He looks more like a pig , actually . Ah well .Marketing: I seea dog in there .Project Manager: Do you ?User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Oh that's very good of you .Marketing: Yep . {vocalsound} Now I see arooster .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Uh .Marketing: What kind is it ?ProjectManager: Um he's a mixture of uh various things . Um and what do I like about him , um {disfmarker} That's just to suggest that his tail wags .Marketing:{vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Um he's very friendly and cheery and always pleased to see you , and very kind of affectionateand um {vocalsound} uh and he's quite quite wee as well so you know he can {disfmarker} doesn't take up too much space .Marketing: {vocalsound}ProjectManager: Um and uh {disfmarker} And he does a funny thing where he chases his tail as well ,Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: which is quiteamusing , so {disfmarker}Marketing: Is he aware that th it's his own cha tail he's chasing ?Project Manager: It is . I think it is . He only does it after he's had hisdinnerMarketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: and um he'll just all of a sudden just get up and start chasing his tail 'round the living room .Industrial Designer:{vocalsound} It's an after dinner dog then .Marketing: Hmm .Project Manager: Yeah , so uh {disfmarker}Marketing: Probably when he was little he got lots ofattention for doing it and has forever been conditioned .Project Manager: Yeah , maybe . Maybe . {vocalsound} Right , um where did you find this ?Marketing:{vocalsound}Project Manager: Just down here ? Yeah .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Okay . {vocalsound} Um what are we doing next ? Uhum . Okay , uh we now need to discuss the project finance . Um so according to the brief um we're gonna be selling this remote control for twenty five Euro , umand we're aiming to make fifty million Euro . Um so we're gonna be selling this on an international scale . And uh we don't want it to cost any more than uh twelvefifty Euros , so fifty percent of the selling price .Marketing: 'Kay . Um , can we just go over that again ?Project Manager: Sure .Marketing: Uh , so bas at twelAlright , yeah . Okay . So cost {disfmarker} like production cost is twelve fifty ,Project Manager: All together .Marketing: but selling price is {disfmarker} is thatwholesale or retail ? Like on the shelf .Project Manager: Um I dunno . I imagine {disfmarker} That's a good question .Marketing: Our sale our sale anyway.Project Manager: I imagine it probably is our sale actuallyMarketing: Yeah , okay okay .Project Manager: because it's probably up to the the um the retailer to uhsell it for whatever price they want . Um .Marketing: Okay . Mm-hmm .Project Manager: But I {disfmarker} I don't know ,Marketing: Alright .Project Manager: Imean do you think the fact that it's going to be sold internationally will have a bearing on how we design it at all ?Marketing: Yes . {vocalsound}Project Manager:Think it will ? Um .Marketing: Mm-hmm . Mm-hmm .Project Manager: {vocalsound} Hmm .Marketing: Well right away I'm wondering if there's um th th uh , likewith D_V_D_ players , if there are zones .Project Manager: Oh yeah , regions and stuff , yeah .Marketing: Um f frequencies or somethingProject Manager: Yeah .Okay .Marketing: um as well as uh characters , um different uh keypad styles and s symbols .Industrial Designer: Hmm .Project Manager: Yeah . Well for aremote control , do you think that will be {disfmarker}Marketing: Um .Project Manager: I suppose it's depends on how complicated our remote control is.Marketing: I don't know . Yeah .Industrial Designer: It does make sense from maybe the design point of view 'cause you have more complicated characters likeEuropean languages , then you need more buttons .Project Manager: Yeah , yeah .Marketing: Yeah .Industrial Designer: So , possibly .Marketing: Yeah .ProjectManager: Okay .Marketing: And then a and then al the other thing international is on top of the price . I'm thinking the price might might appeal to a certainmarket in one region , whereas in another it'll be different , so {disfmarker}Project Manager: What , just like in terms of like the wealth of the country?Marketing: Just a chara just a characteristic of the {disfmarker}Project Manager: Like how much money people have to spend on things like ?Marketing: Just{disfmarker} Or just like , basic product podi positioning , the twenty five Euro remote control might be a big hit in London , might not be such a big hit in Greece, who knows ,Project Manager: Aye , I see what you mean , yeah .Marketing: something like that , yeah .Project Manager: Marketing . Good marketing thoughts.Marketing: {vocalsound} Yep .Project Manager: Oh gosh , I should be writing all this down . Um .Marketing: Right away I'm making some kind of assumptionsabout what what information we're given here ,Project Manager: Mm .Marketing: thinking , 'kay trendy probably means something other than just basic ,ProjectManager: Yeah .Marketing: something other than just standard . Um so I'm wondering right away , is selling twenty five Euros , is that sort of the {disfmarker}thi is this gonna to be like the premium product kinda thing or {disfmarker}Project Manager: Yeah , yeah . Like how much does , you know , a remote controlcost .Marketing: Uh-huh .Project Manager: Well twenty five Euro , I mean that's um that's about like eighteen pounds or something , isn't it ? Or no , is it as muchas that ?Marketing: Mm-hmm .Project Manager: Sixteen seventeen eighteen pounds .Marketing: Yep . Yeah , I'd say so , yeah .Project Manager: Um , I dunno ,I've never bought a remote control , so I don't know how how good a remote control that would get you . Um .Marketing: No . Yeah , yeah . {vocalsound}ProjectManager: But yeah , I suppose it has to look kind of cool and gimmicky .Marketing: Mm-hmm .Project Manager: Um right , okay . Let me just scoot on ahead here. Okay . Um well d Does anybody have anything to add to uh to the finance issue at all ? ThinMarketing: Do we have any other background information on like"}
+{"doc_id":"doc_84","qid":"","text":"Lynne Neagle AM: Good morning, everyone. Welcome to the Children, Young People and Education Committee this morning. I've received no apologies forabsence. Can I ask Members if there are any declarations of interest, please? No. Okay, thank you. Item 2 this morning is our scrutiny session on Estyn's annualreport 2018-19. I'm very pleased to welcome Meilyr Rowlands, Her Majesty's Chief Inspector, Estyn; Jassa Scott, strategic director at Estyn; and Claire Morgan,strategic director at Estyn. Thank you all for attending. We're looking forward to hearing what you've got to say. We'll go straight into questions from SuzyDavies.Suzy Davies AM: Bore da. Good morning, everybody. Thank you for the papers upfront, in which you say that the most striking feature of the educationsystem, looking forward, of course is the curriculum and the change that that's bringing. How can we be sure that, during this period of change, standards don'tslip? And also, from the point of view of scrutiny, will we be back in a situation where we're being told, 'You can't compare one set of results against the previousyear's results, because of the nature of the change'?Meilyr Rowlands: Bore da, bawb. Thank you for the invitation to come here. I think that's a good question. Ithink any kind of major educational reform has got risks attached to it, particularly if those changes were made too quickly. I think this process of reform hasbeen going on in the background for a few years now, so I think there is a track record of standards and provision not slipping. We've seen small incrementalimprovements. So, overall, I think we can be fairly confident that standards won't slip during this period of preparation.Suzy Davies AM: Can I just ask: is thatbased on your evidence around primary schools, where the sort of ethos that we've seen in the curriculum has been already articulated through the foundationphase?Meilyr Rowlands: The track record I'm talking about is across the board, so it's very difficult to think of anything that's actually got worse over the lastthree or four years, so it's difficult to say that standards of provision is slipping. It might not be improving as quickly as we would like, but the purpose of majorcurriculum and, more generally, educational reform is to make sure that we do get a more substantial sort of improvement. I think we should congratulate theprofession for the work they've been doing. A large number of schools and teachers and leaders have been part of preparing the new curriculum and all theassociated work, as well as doing the day job. I think their commitment and their engagement with curriculum reform, and engagement with wider educationreform, is to be congratulated. So, I think going forward, we must make sure that that is continued; that this process that's called co-construction—engaging withthe profession, making sure that they're behind all the changes—continues. I think that's what's going to make sure that we don't see any slippage.Suzy DaviesAM: Okay, and on that point of comparing year on year, we will be able to make those comparisons legitimately then?Meilyr Rowlands: Yes, certainly, in terms ofour inspection outcomes and our inspection work, yes.Suzy Davies AM: Okay. That's great, thank you. Can I just ask you then about the difference inpreparedness between primary and secondary schools, which I've just mentioned previously, and also what your views are on the impact of funding for schools onthat as well? Because we're in a situation where a number of primary schools have got surplus funds, sometimes that's because of end of year additional fundsjust being magicked up, but there is a serious worry that so many secondary schools are in deficit and that, overall, secondary schools are in deficit. Is there acorrelation between those two positions, that secondary schools may be less ready for this than primary schools?Meilyr Rowlands: I think it's probably true to saythat secondary schools have a greater challenge than primary schools generally in terms of preparedness for the new curriculum. I think that's why we welcomedthe phasing in of the new curriculum. With any sort of education reform, you've got that danger of people wanting to see change as soon as possible on the onehand, and on the other hand you need time to pilot things, to make sure that people have the right professional learning and make sure that there's opportunityfor evaluation and thinking and so forth. So, we've got to get that balance right.Suzy Davies AM: Sorry, that could be difficult to do if a school doesn't havemoney to create that space, couldn't it?Meilyr Rowlands: Yes. You raised two issues, I think. One, about the difference between primary and secondary: I thinkwhat I'm saying there is I think the fact that the new curriculum is going to be brought in for all the years in primary, but it's going to be phased in year by yearfor secondary is a recognition of that difference. In terms of funding, probably everyone in this room, and certainly me included, would like to see more money forthe education system—any educationalist would like to see that. But, you know, that is a decision for local and central Government to decide how much they canafford. I think there is an argument for saying that the funding has become more challenging for schools over time.Suzy Davies AM: Can I ask, just to keep it ontrack, are you finding that that's having an impact on secondary schools particularly—their ability to make space to get their heads around the curriculum?MeilyrRowlands: I don't think you can make that straightforward correlation. But if you do look at surpluses and reserves, they have been more or less constant forprimary schools over a long period of time, but they have declined for secondary schools. So, I think there probably is an argument for saying that we need tolook at the funding of secondary schools in particular because, overall, they're in deficit now. So, I think there is an argument for looking at that. The other thingthat's worth saying about funding is that even a small decrease in real terms can be disproportionately time consuming to manage. So, you know, if you have alarge school and you have to maybe make one member of staff redundant, it can have a real big effect on the morale in the school. But also the time it takes forthe headteacher and the senior staff to make those decisions can take their eye off the educational ball because they're looking at these financial and staffingissues.Suzy Davies AM: Okay, thank you. Siân might develop that a little bit further on. The final question from me is: there's a general concern about thenumber of teachers that we have in the system at the moment, particularly at secondary level and in particular subjects as well. How do you think we canimprove that? What impact is it likely to have on the ability of secondary schools to really get a grip on this?Meilyr Rowlands: Obviously, the most importantresource for the education system is the teachers. So, it is a concern that recruitment is getting more and more difficult and that targets for initial teacher trainingare not being hit. And we're not seeing them hit, if I remember correctly, even in primary, let alone secondary. So, there is a challenge, and I think we've got tolook at this in the round. We've got to make sure that we have both a long-term strategy and a shorter term strategy for this. So, long term, we've got to makesure that education is an attractive option for young people and more mature people to want to go into. So, that is partly to do with workload and staff well-being.I think there's a general acceptance now that that needs to be higher up on the agenda, that people need to take that seriously, and there's work going onregarding the workload issue.Suzy Davies AM: I suppose what I'm coming to, and I will finish with this, Chair, is, we're asking our existing workforce to undertakea fair bit of continuous professional development—let's call it that—in order to get ready for this curriculum when they've barely got time for lunch as it is. Do youthink that's going to have an impact on the ability of secondary schools to get to grips with this, albeit that there'll be a phasing in?Meilyr Rowlands: Yes. I think itwill have an effect, but I think it'll have a positive effect. I think the new curriculum, one of the things about the new curriculum is that it re-professionalises theprofession. It gives back agency and ownership to teachers. I think it's really important. And one of the reasons why teaching maybe hasn't been that attractive aprofession is that teachers in the past have just been delivering a set curriculum, and now they've got a much more creative part in deciding for themselves howto teach something and what to teach. So, I think that is a very important part of attracting intelligent people into the profession.  There are short-term things weneed to do, of course, as well. I think we need to have a much more varied set of routes into teaching, so I welcome some of the part-time Open Universitycourses, for example. So, there are lots of ways—we were talking about maybe converting people from primary into secondary, particularly in Welsh-medium,where there's a shortage. So, all those kinds of varied routes, I think, into teaching, are important as well.Suzy Davies AM: Degree apprenticeships,potentially.Meilyr Rowlands: Yes, I think it's well worth exploring that. Yes.Suzy Davies AM: Lovely. Thank you. Thank you, Chair.Lynne Neagle AM: Okay. SiânGwenllian now has some questions on secondary schools causing concern. Siân.Sian Gwenllian AM: Yes. Just before going on to that, just to pick up on that lastpoint that you made about the shortage of teachers and losing teachers during the first year of their training. Has Estyn done any themed work on that particularissue, or do you intend to do anything on that? Also, looking at the financial incentives and how they compare with the situation in England, for example; do weneed, perhaps, to think about financial incentives, not just for specific subjects, but for going to schools where there are particular issues, perhaps?MeilyrRowlands: Well, yes, there are currently discussions ongoing between us and the Government about working in those early years for teachers. It's possible thatwe will be undertaking work in the near future on that. I know that Professor Mick Waters is looking at this currently, and we've had the discussion with him. AndI think we would welcome the opportunity to look at this particular period. Now, we are, of course, looking at initial teacher training, but we haven't looked at thefirst couple of years for many a year.Sian Gwenllian AM: Right, thank you very much. And for your information, I've commissioned a piece of work on thatparticular issue, and that work will be published in due course. So, I hope to have a discussion with you about that.Meilyr Rowlands: Thank you very much.Yes.Sian Gwenllian AM: In terms of the secondary schools, that’s where the problem lies, isn’t it, rather than the primary sector. How much of a concern is it toyou that children’s chances of going to a secondary school that is good or better appear to be 50:50, and that, indeed, over 10 per cent of secondary schools arejudged to be failing and 12 per cent are under Estyn review? How much of a concern is that to you?Meilyr Rowlands: Well, it is of concern to us, of course. I hopethat we will have an opportunity to talk about the positive aspects of the education system in Wales, because there are a number of good things we can report"}

OK . So I guess that what may be a {disfmarker} reasonable is if Iuh first make a report on what 's happening in Aurora in general , at least what from my perspective .PhD E: Yeah . That would be great .Professor B: And{disfmarker} and uh so , I {disfmarker} I think that Carmen and Stephane reported on uh Amsterdam meeting ,PhD D: Uh oProfessor B: which was kind ofinteresting because it was for the first time we realized we are not friends really , but we are competitors . Cuz until then it was sort of like everything was likewonderful and {disfmarker}PhD E: Yeah . It seemed like there were still some issues ,Professor B: Yeah .PhD E: right ? that they were trying to decide ?ProfessorB: There is a plenty of {disfmarker} there 're plenty of issues .PhD E: Like the voice activity detector ,Professor B: Well and what happened was that they realizedthat if two leading proposals , which was French Telecom Alcatel , and us both had uh voice activity detector . And I said \" well big surprise , I mean we couldhave told you that {pause} n n n four months ago , except we didn't because nobody else was bringing it up \" .PhD E: Right .Professor B: Obviously FrenchTelecom didn't volunteer this information either , cuz we were working on {disfmarker} mainly on voice activity detector for past uh several monthsPhD E: Right.Professor B: because that 's buying us the most uh thing . And everybody said \" Well but this is not fair . We didn't know that . \" And of course uh the{disfmarker} it 's not working on features really . And be I agreed .PhD E: Right .Professor B: I said \" well yeah , you are absolutely right , I mean if I wish thatyou provided better end point at speech because uh {disfmarker} or at least that if we could modify the recognizer , uh to account for these long silences ,because otherwise uh that {disfmarker} that {disfmarker} th that wasn't a correct thing . \" And so then ev ev everybody else says \" well we should {disfmarker}we need to do a new eval evaluation without voice activity detector , or we have to do something about it \" .PhD E: Right .Professor B: And in principle I{disfmarker} uh I {disfmarker} we agreed .PhD E: Mm - hmm .Professor B: We said uh \" yeah \" . Because uh {disfmarker} but in that case , uh we would like tochange the uh {disfmarker} the algorithm because uh if we are working on different data , we probably will use a different set of tricks .PhD E: Right .ProfessorB: But unfortunately nobody ever officially can somehow acknowledge that this can be done , because French Telecom was saying \" no , no , no , now everybodyhas access to our code , so everybody is going to copy what we did . \" Yeah well our argument was everybody ha has access to our code , and everybody alwayshad access to our code . We never uh {disfmarker} uh denied that . We thought that people are honest , that if you copy something and if it is protected{disfmarker} protected by patent then you negotiate , or something ,PhD E: Yeah . Right .Professor B: right ? I mean , if you find our technique useful , we arevery happy .PhD E: Right .Professor B: But {disfmarker} And French Telecom was saying \" no , no , no ,PhD E: Mm - hmm .Professor B: there is a lot of littletricks which uh sort of uh cannot be protected and you guys will take them , \" which probably is also true . I mean , you know , it might be that people will takeuh uh th the algorithms apart and use the blocks from that . But I somehow think that it wouldn't be so bad , as long as people are happy abou uh uh uh honestabout it .PhD E: Yeah .Professor B: And I think they have to be honest in the long run , because winning proposal again {disfmarker} uh what will be available this {disfmarker} will be a code . So the uh {disfmarker} the people can go to code and say \" well listen this is what you stole from me \"PhD E: Mm - hmm.Professor B: you know ?PhD E: Right .Professor B: \" so let 's deal with that \" .PhD E: Right .Professor B: So I don't see the problem . The biggest problem ofcourse is that f that Alcatel French Telecom cl claims \" well we fulfilled the conditions . We are the best . Uh . We are the standard . \" And e and other people don'tfeel that , because they {disfmarker} so they now decided that {disfmarker} that {disfmarker} is {disfmarker} the whole thing will be done on well - endpointeddata , essentially that somebody will endpoint the data based on clean speech , because most of this the SpeechDat - Car has the also close speaking mike andendpoints will be provided .PhD E: Mm - hmm . Ah .Professor B: And uh we will run again {disfmarker} still not clear if we are going to run the {disfmarker} if weare allowed to run uh uh new algorithms , but I assume so . Because uh we would fight for that , really . uh but {disfmarker} since uh u u n u {disfmarker} atleast our experience is that only endpointing a {disfmarker} a mel cepstrum gets uh {disfmarker} gets you twenty - one percent improvement overall and twenty- seven improvement on SpeechDat - CarPhD E: Hmm .Professor B: then obvious the database {disfmarker} uh I mean the {disfmarker} the {disfmarker} the{disfmarker} uh the baseline will go up . And nobody can then achieve fifty percent improvement .PhD E: Right .Professor B: So they agreed that uh there will bea twenty - five percent improvement required on {disfmarker} on uh h u m bad mis badly mismatched {disfmarker}PhD E: But wait a minute , I thought theendpointing really only helped in the noisy cases .Professor B: It uh {disfmarker}PhD E: Oh , but you still have that with the MFCC .Professor B: Y yeah .PhD E:OK .Professor B: Yeah but you have the same prob I mean MFCC basically has an enormous number of uh insertions .PhD E: Yeah . Right . Yeah . Yeah . Yeah.Professor B: And so , so now they want to say \" we {disfmarker} we will require fifty percent improvement only for well matched condition , and only twenty -five percent for the serial cases . \"PhD E: Hmm .Professor B: And uh {disfmarker} and they almost agreed on that except that it wasn't a hundred percent agreed. And so last time uh during the meeting , I just uh brought up the issue , I said \" well you know uh quite frankly I 'm surprised how lightly you are making thesedecisions because this is a major decision . For two years we are fighting for fifty percent improvement and suddenly you are saying \" oh no we {disfmarker} wewill do something less \" , but maybe we should discuss that . And everybody said \" oh we discussed that and you were not a mee there \" and I said \" well a lot ofother people were not there because not everybody participates at these teleconferencing c things . \" Then they said \" oh no no no because uh everybody isinvited . \" However , there is only ten or fifteen lines , so people can't even con you know participate . So eh they agreed , and so they said \" OK , we will discussthat . \" Immediately Nokia uh raised the question and they said \" oh yeah we agree this is not good to to uh dissolve the uh uh {disfmarker} the uh {disfmarker}the criterion . \"PhD E: Mm - hmm .Professor B: So now officially , Nokia is uh uh complaining and said they {disfmarker} they are looking for support , uh I thinkQualComm is uh saying , too \" we shouldn't abandon the fifty percent yet . We should at least try once again , one more round . \"PhD E: Mm - hmm .Professor B:So this is where we are .PhD E: Mm - hmm .Professor B: I hope that {disfmarker} I hope that this is going to be a adopted .PhD E: Hmm .Professor B: NextWednesday we are going to have uh another uh teleconferencing call , so we 'll see what uh {disfmarker} where it goes .PhD E: So what about the issue of umthe weights on the {disfmarker} for the different systems , the well - matched , and medium - mismatched and {disfmarker}Professor B: Yeah , that 's what{disfmarker} that 's a g very good uh point , because David says \" well you know we ca we can manipulate this number by choosing the right weights anyways . \"So while you are right but {disfmarker} uh you know butPhD E: Mm - hmm .Professor B: Uh yeah , if of course if you put a zero {disfmarker} uh weight zero on amismatched condition , or highly mismatched then {disfmarker} then you are done .PhD E: Mm - hmm .Professor B: But weights were also deter already decideduh half a year ago . So {disfmarker}PhD E: And they 're the {disfmarker} staying the same ?Professor B: Well , of course people will not like it . Now{disfmarker} What is happening now is that I th I think that people try to match the criterion to solution .PhD E: Mm - hmm .Professor B: They have solution .Now they want to {vocalsound} make sure their criterion is {disfmarker}PhD E: Right .Professor B: And I think that this is not the right way .PhD E: Yeah.Professor B: Uh it may be that {disfmarker} that {disfmarker} Eventually it may ha may ha it may have to happen . But it 's should happen at a point whereeverybody feels comfortable that we did all what we could .PhD E: Mm - hmm .Professor B: And I don't think we did .PhD E: Mm - hmm .Professor B: Basically , Ithink that {disfmarker} that this test was a little bit bogus because of the data and uh essentially {pause} there were these arbitrary decisions made , and{disfmarker} and everything . So , so {disfmarker} so this is {disfmarker} so this is where it is . So what we are doing at OGI now is uh uh uh working basicallyon our parts which we I think a little bit neglected , like noise separation . Uh so we are looking in ways is {disfmarker} in uh which {disfmarker} uh with whichwe can provide better initial estimate of the mel spectrum basically , which would be a l uh , f more robust to noise , and so far not much uh success .PhD E:Hmm .Professor B: We tried uh things which uh a long time ago Bill Byrne suggested , instead of using Fourier spectrum , from Fourier transform , use thespectrum from LPC model . Their argument there was the LPC model fits the peaks of the spectrum , so it may be m naturally more robust in noise . And Ithought \" well , that makes sense , \" but so far we can't get much {disfmarker} much out of it .PhD E: Hmm .Professor B: uh we may try some standardtechniques like spectral subtraction and {disfmarker}PhD E: You haven't tried that yet ?Professor B: not {disfmarker} not {disfmarker} not much . Or even I wasthinking about uh looking back into these totally ad - hoc techniquesPhD E: Hmm .Professor B: like for instance uh Dennis Klatt was suggesting uh the one way touh deal with noisy speech is to add noise to everything .PhD E: Hmm !Professor B: So . {comment} I mean , uh uh add moderate amount of noise to all data.PhD E: Oh !Professor B: So that makes uh th any additive noise less addi less a a effective ,PhD E: I see .Professor B: right ? Because you already uh had the"}

So I didn't send out agenda items because until five minutes agowe only had one agenda item and now we have two . So . {vocalsound} And , uh .Professor B: OK . So , just to repeat the thing bef that we said last week , itwas there 's this suggestion of alternating weeks on {vocalsound} more , uh , automatic speech recognition related or not ? Was that sort of {pause} the division?Grad F: Right .Professor B: So which week are we in ?Grad F: Well {disfmarker} We haven't really started , but I thought we more {disfmarker} we more or lessdid Meeting Recorder stuff last week , so I thought we could do , uh {disfmarker}Professor B: I thought we had a thing about speech recognition last week too.PhD C: Yeah .Grad F: But I figure also if they 're short agenda items , we could also do a little bit of each .Professor B: Yeah .Grad F: So . I seem to be havingdifficulty getting this adjusted . Here we go .Professor B: OK .Grad F: So , uh , as most of you should know , I did send out the consent form thingies and , uh , sofar no one has made any {disfmarker} Ach ! {comment} {comment} any comments on them . So , no on no one has bleeped out anything .Professor B: Um .Yeah .Grad F: So . I don't expect anyone to . But .Professor B: Um . {vocalsound} So , w what follows ? At some point y you go around and get people to signsomething ?Grad F: No . We had spoken w about this beforeProfessor B: Yeah , but I 've forgotten .Grad F: and we had decided that they have {disfmarker} theyonly needed to sign once . And the agreement that they already signed simply said that we would give them an opportunity . So as long as we do that , we 'recovered .Professor B: And how long of an opportunity did you tell them ?Grad F: Uh , July fifteenth .Professor B: July fifteenth . Oh , so they have a plenty of time, and yGrad F: Yep .Professor B: Given that it 's that long , um , um {disfmarker} Why was that date chosen ? You just felt you wanted to {disfmarker} ?Grad F:Jane told me July fifteenth . So , that 's what I set it .Postdoc A: Oh . I just meant that that was {pause} the release date that you had on the {pause} data.Professor B: Oh , OK .Grad F: Oh . I {disfmarker} I didn't understand that there was something specific .Postdoc A: I , uh {disfmarker} I thought{disfmarker}Grad F: You {disfmarker} y you had {disfmarker}Professor B: I don't {disfmarker}Grad F: I had heard July fifteenth , so that 's what I put .PostdocA: Mm - hmm .Professor B: No , the only {disfmarker} th the only {pause} mention I recall about that was just that July fifteenth or so is when {vocalsound} thismeeting starts .Grad F: So .Postdoc A: That 's right . That 's why .Professor B: Oh , I see .Postdoc A: You said you wanted it to be available then .Professor B: OK.Postdoc A: I didn't mean it to be the hard deadline .Professor B: Right .Postdoc A: It 's fine with me if it is , or we cou But I thought it might be good to remindpeople two weeks prior to thatProfessor B: wPostdoc A: in case , uh {disfmarker} you know , \" by the way {pause} this is your last {disfmarker} \"Professor B:Right .Postdoc A: Uh . Yeah .Professor B: We probably should have talked about it , cuz i because if we wanna be able to give it to people July fifteenth , ifsomebody 's gonna come back and say \" OK , I don't want this and this and this used \" , uh , clearly we need some time to respond to that . Right ?Grad F: Yeah .As I said , we {disfmarker} I just got one dateProfessor B: Yeah .PhD H: Damn !Grad F: and that 's the one I used .Professor B: Yeah .Grad F: So . But I can senda follow - up . I mean , it 's almost all us . I mean the people who are in the meeti this meeting was , uh , these {disfmarker} the meetings that {disfmarker} in{disfmarker} are in set one .PhD C: Was my {disfmarker} was my response OK ?Postdoc A: That 's right .PhD C: I just wrote you {disfmarker} replied to theemail saying they 're all fine .Grad F: Right . I mean , that 's fine .PhD C: OK , good .Grad F: I {disfmarker} we don't {disfmarker} My understanding of what we{pause} had agreed upon when we had spoken about this months ago was that , uh , we don't actually need a reply .PhD C: That makes it easy .Grad F: We justneed to tell them that they can do it if they want .Professor B: OK . I just didn't remember , but {disfmarker}Grad F: And so no reply is no changes .Postdoc A:And he 's got it so that the default thing you see when you look at the page is \" OK \" .Professor B: OK .Postdoc A: So that 's very clear all the way down the page ,\" OK \" . And they have two options they can change it to . One of them is {pause} \" censor \" , and the other one is \" incorrect \" . Is it {disfmarker} is{disfmarker} your word is \" incorrect \" ?Grad F: Right .Postdoc A: Which means also we get feedback on {pause} if {pause} um , there 's something that they wthat needs to be {pause} adjusted , because , I mean , these are very highly technical things . I mean , it 's an added , uh , level of checking on the accuracy ofthe transcription , as I see it . But in any case , people can agree to things that are wrong .Grad F: Well {disfmarker}Postdoc A: So .Grad F: Yeah . The reason Idid that it was just so that people would not censor {disfmarker} not ask to have stuff removed because it was transcribed incorrectly ,Postdoc A: And the reasonI liked it was because {disfmarker}Grad F: as opposed to , uh {disfmarker}Postdoc A: was because it , um {disfmarker} it gives them the option of , uh , beingable to correct it .Grad F: Right .Postdoc A: Approve it and correct it . And {pause} um . So , you have {pause} it nicely set up so they email you and , uh{disfmarker}Grad F: When they submit the form , it gets processed and emailed to me .Postdoc A: Mm - hmm . Mm - hmm . And I wanted to say the meetingsthat are involved in that set are Robustness and Meeting Recorder .Grad F: So .Postdoc A: The German ones will be ready for next week . Those are three{disfmarker} three of those . A different set of people . And we can impose {disfmarker}PhD C: The German ones ?Postdoc A: Uh , well .PhD H: Yeah . Those{disfmarker} uh {disfmarker}Professor B: NSA .Postdoc A: OK . I spoke loosely . The {disfmarker} the German , French {disfmarker} Sorry , the German ,{vocalsound} Dutch , and Spanish ones .PhD E: Spanish . Yeah .Grad F: Mm - hmm .PhD C: Oh , those are the NSA meetings ?PhD E: The non - native{disfmarker}PhD H: Those are {disfmarker}Postdoc A: Yeah . Uh - huh .Professor B: German , Dutch , Swiss and Spanish .PhD C: Oh , oh ! OK .PhD E: The allnon - native {disfmarker}Postdoc A: That 's {disfmarker} that 's {disfmarker} that 's rGrad F: Mm - hmm .PhD H: Uh - huh .PhD C: OK . I 'd {disfmarker} IdPostdoc A: Yeah . {pause} It 's the other group .Professor B: I It was the network {disfmarker} network services group .PhD C: OK .Postdoc A: Uh - huh . Yeah, exactly . Yeah .Professor B: Yeah .Postdoc A: I didn't mean to {pause} isolate them .Professor B: Otherwise known as the German , Dutch , and Spanish.Postdoc A: Yeah . Sorry . It was {disfmarker} it was not the best characterization .Grad F: Mm - hmm .Postdoc A: But what {disfmarker} {vocalsound} what Imeant to say was that it 's the other group that 's not {disfmarker} n no m no overlap with our present members . And then maybe it 'd be good to set an explicitdeadline , something like {pause} a week {pause} before that , uh , J July fifteenth date , or two weeks before .Professor B: I mean , I would suggest we discuss{disfmarker} I mean , if we 're going to have a policy on it , that we discuss the length of time that we want to give people ,Grad F: Mm - hmm .Professor B: sothat we have a uniform thing . So , tha that 's a month , which is fine . I mean , it seems {disfmarker}PhD C: Twelve hours .Grad F: Well , the only thing I said inthe email is that {pause} the data is going to be released on the fifteenth . I didn't give any other deadline .Postdoc A: Mm - hmm .Grad F: So my feeling is ifsomeone after the fifteenth says , \" wow I suddenly found something \" , we 'll delete it from our record . We just won't delete it from whatever 's already beenreleased .Postdoc A: Hmm . That 's a little bit difficult .Grad F: What else can we do ?Postdoc A: Yeah .Grad F: If someone says \" hey , look , I {pause} foundsomething in this meeting and {pause} it 's libelous and I want it removed \" . What can we do ?Postdoc A: Well . {pause} That 's true .Grad F: We have toremove it .Postdoc A: I {disfmarker} I agree with that part , but I think that it would {disfmarker} it , uh {disfmarker} we need to have , uh , a {disfmarker} a{disfmarker} a message to them very clearly that {vocalsound} beyond this date , you can't make additional changes .Professor B: I mean , um , I {disfmarker}I {disfmarker} {vocalsound} i I think that somebody might {pause} request something even though we say that . But I think it 's good to at least start someplace like that .Postdoc A: Mm - hmm . Good .Professor B: So if we agreed , {vocalsound} OK , how long is a reasonable amount of time for people to have{disfmarker} if we say two weeks , or if we say a month , I think we should just say that {disfmarker} say that , you know , i a as {pause} um , {vocalsound} \"per the {disfmarker} the {disfmarker} the , uh , page you signed , you have the ability to look over this stuff \" and so forth \" and , uh , because we w \" these , uh{disfmarker} I would {disfmarker} I would imagine some sort of generic thing that would say \" because we , uh , will continually be making these things available{vocalsound} to other researchers , uh , this can't be open - ended and so , uh , uh , please give us back your response within this am you know , within thisamount of time \" , whatever time we agree upon .Grad F: Well , did you read the email and look at the pages I sent ?Professor B: Did I ? No , I haven't yet . No ,just {disfmarker}Grad F: No . OK , well why don't you do that and then make comments on what you want me to change ?Professor B: No , no . I 'm not sayingthat you should change anything . I I 'm {disfmarker} what I 'm {disfmarker} what I 'm {disfmarker} {vocalsound} I 'm trying to spark a discussion hopefullyamong people who have read it so that {disfmarker} that you can {disfmarker} {vocalsound} you can , uh , decide on something .Postdoc A: Mm - hmm.Professor B: So I 'm not telling you what to decide .Postdoc A: Mm - hmm .Professor B: I 'm just saying you should decide something ,Postdoc A: OK .ProfessorB: and then {disfmarker}Grad F: I already did decide something , and that 's what 's in the email .Postdoc A: Yeah , yeah . OK , so {disfmarker}Grad F: And ifyou disagree with it , why don't you read it and give me comments on it ?Postdoc A: Yeah . Well {disfmarker} I {disfmarker} I think that there 's one missing line"}

Uh , let me see . I think it's this one . Ha .User Interface: Wow .IndustrialDesigner: Right . Uh , well , I'll be talking about the components .Marketing: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Uh , what I did was I reviewed previously useditems uh by uh two two uh different uh age groups .Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: Uh below forty five and above . And uh I just uh watch whatthe differences are and I checked uh , well , what what d do we want , and {gap} how can we uh d aim a at uh the target group . Well uh what I found was that asenior um {disfmarker}Project Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} senior citizens uh {disfmarker} {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}I'm sorry . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Ye Ah , it's {vocalsound} it's okay .Marketing: Okay . Go on . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Uh {disfmarker}{vocalsound} They , well , they like more the {disfmarker} they like the traditional materials , like wood and and such more .Marketing: {vocalsound}IndustrialDesigner: Wood and chrome .Project Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: And uh uh they like uh straightforward shapes . Um , uh they they they they likeluxurious uh styles , where whereas the young and dynamic , they like a more uh soft materials . Think of the Teletubbies , for instance .Project Manager:{vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Uh uh , soft and fluffy and colourful and {disfmarker}Marketing: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Well uh , shapes are curvedand round .Marketing: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Y y you get {vocalsound} the picture . And uh they like sports and gaming , and that gives them uh thevitality . Uh , so w well uh , firsProject Manager: One one little question .Industrial Designer: Yes .Project Manager: Um about the the material .IndustrialDesigner: Yeah .Project Manager: Uh a soft material for a remote control ?Industrial Designer: No , I'll I'll get to that .Project Manager: Okay . Yeah .IndustrialDesigner: You you'll see . Yeah .Project Manager: Thank you . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Uh , well f first off , let's start start with the energy . W I uh I hada choice between uh a few different uh sources .Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: But uh the two basic sources that I found were the best possiblewere the battery uh versus kinetic . Uh kinetic , that's when you move something , then uh it gets energy . I figured , well that's ki kinda high-tech , when whenyou have a remote control that well , when you pick it up , it has power . That would be actually very nice , uh I figured .Project Manager: Oh .IndustrialDesigner: Well , we could also use a battery , that's a bit {disfmarker}Marketing: Yeah but when the power gets low , you have to shake it or something ?ProjectManager: {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Yeah . Yeah yeah , you c just you have to shake it around a little bit .Marketing: Uh ,and uh uh {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: And then then it d then it has some more uh energy .Project Manager: {vocalsound}Marketing: Hmm .IndustrialDesigner: Well , y you could just go for a battery . Or you can go for both ?User Interface: Oh , have you considered the option of using a solar panel ?IndustrialDesigner: Yeah , I actually did . But uh the thing is about solar panel is you have to have l uh light . Well , sunlight preferably .User Interface: W {gap} nah.Industrial Designer: Uh , and you you could you could use normal light , but uh you wouldn't get the same amount of energy that you would from a battery orsomething .User Interface: Mm . Yeah .Industrial Designer: Uh for uh ultimate b uh {vocalsound} n uh use of uh solar panels , you could actually use uh{disfmarker} you could use uh solar panels , but uh you ha you'd have to implement them into uh the remote control , leaving you uh a bit less space for theinterface .Marketing: Mm yeah . It's too less space .User Interface: Yeah .Industrial Designer: So uh {disfmarker} so i i it it wo what's actually {disfmarker} I I cjust in f I've figured it out that well , uh seeing that you'll always be uh within the l uh distance of T_V_ , and the {disfmarker} from T_V_ there comes a a awhole bunch of light . So it would actually power itself uh from a T_V_ .Marketing: {vocalsound}User Interface: Yeah .Industrial Designer: But , well you just takeup all the space , and you wouldn't uh have the full amount of power actually used .User Interface: Okay .Project Manager: But you prefer kinetic ?IndustrialDesigner: So {disfmarker} I I prefer kinetic because it's uh {disfmarker} well , the costs aren't that much higher , and um , ju just a bit more high-tech than thana normal battery .Project Manager: Okay . Yeah , but you don't move a a remote control too much .Industrial Designer: I mean , if {disfmarker} No , but uh dWell , you pick it up and you press buttons and y well , you {disfmarker}Project Manager: And that's enough to to keep the energy level uh{disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Yeah , well uh actually it is .Project Manager: Okay .Industrial Designer: And it it {disfmarker} if it isn't , you just shake it a bitand and add add with power up again .Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound}User Interface: Yeah .Industrial Designer: But , what l what Jareksaid , you could you could use a battery that you'd just keep it on the recharging whenever it moves . And for rest , you'd just add juice on the battery .ProjectManager: Okay .Marketing: And when the battery doesn't work , I usually shake it too . So {disfmarker}Project Manager: {vocalsound} Thank you , Tim .{vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Exactly . {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound} Like slamming on it . {vocalsound}It's exactly the same . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: And so that {disfmarker} Uh {disfmarker} {vocalsound} Uh well ,User Interface: {vocalsound}IndustrialDesigner: f furthermore , you you {disfmarker} we {gap} {disfmarker} uh checked uh the cases .Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager:{vocalsound}Industrial Designer: We have uh different options uh concerning the cases . You ha I {disfmarker} you sim uh you simply add a basic uh standarduh model uh {disfmarker} it was kind of square and uh I figured that's a bit boring . So you you {disfmarker} we could go for uh the single curved or the doublecurved . Um , single curve , it's just a {disfmarker} well , uh , you know , it's just uh a nice curve . Or but but you could go in a in an double curves . And that's{gap} like several different dimensions .Project Manager: Yeah .Industrial Designer: That gives you an whole new uh effecProject Manager: Dynamic dynamiclook ?Marketing: Hmm .Industrial Designer: Yeah , that gives you a younger and uh more high-tech look , I f I figured .

Yeah .Industrial Designer: You want me to draw in three-D_?Marketing: The {disfmarker} Yeah . Yeah .Project Manager: {vocalsound}Marketing: Uh , I c I can't imagine .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Uh , yeah , I caI ca I could I could show you . I could show you .Marketing: I can't imagine how how how it looks like .User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Well uhlet's say y uh you uh {disfmarker}Marketing: Yeah .Industrial Designer: Let's say that's your standard uh {disfmarker}Marketing: Design .User Interface: Yeah.Industrial Designer: That's a bit your d standard design . But you could actually go like uh something like this .Marketing: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: Andthen uh in three-D_ effect you could go {disfmarker} {vocalsound}User Interface: Um {disfmarker} {vocalsound}Marketing: Uh {disfmarker}Project Manager:{vocalsound} {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: So y you you just {disfmarker} Yeah , this is a {disfmarker} this {vocalsound} bit uh difficulty in{disfmarker}Marketing: {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} I didn't take a major in art .

+{"doc_id":"doc_88","qid":"","text":"Project Manager: Okay we all all set ? Right . Well this is the uh final detailed design meeting . Um we're gonna discuss the look and feel design , the userinterface design , and we're gonna evaluate the product . And the end result of this meeting has to be a decision on the details of this remote control , likeabsolute final decision , um and then I'm gonna have to specify the final design in the final report . So um just from from last time to recap , we said we weregonna have a snowman shaped remote control with no L_C_D_ display , no need for talk-back , it was hopefully gonna be kinetic power and battery uh withrubber buttons , maybe backlighting the buttons with some internal L_E_D_s to shine through the casing , um hopefully a jog-dial , and incorporating the slogansomewhere as well . Anything I've missed ?Industrial Designer: No .Project Manager: Okay um so uh if you want to present your prototype go ahead .UserInterface: Uh-oh . This is it ? {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Ninja Homer , made in Japan . {vocalsound}User Interface: Um , there are a few changes we'vemade .Project Manager: Okay .User Interface: Um , well look at the expense sheet , and uh it turned to be quite a lot expensive to have open up and have lots ofbuttons and stuff inside ,Project Manager: Mm . Mm-hmm .User Interface: so instead we've um {disfmarker} this is gonna be an L_C_D_ screen , um just a avery very basic one , very small um with access to the menu through the the scroll wheel and uh confirm um button .Marketing: Mm 'kay .User Interface: Uh ,apart from that , it's just pretty much the same as we discussed last time .Industrial Designer: And there isn't uh d it doesn't open up to the advanced functions ?the advanced functions are still hidden from you , but they're hidden in the sense that um they're not in use .Marketing: Where are they ?Industrial Designer: Umthey're in the L_C_D_ panel and the jog-dial ?Marketing: Ah , right .Industrial Designer: Okay 'cause {disfmarker}Project Manager: So w what kind of thing uh isgonna be {disfmarker}Marketing: Great .User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: The L_C_D_ panel just displays um functionally what you're doing . Ifyou're using an advanced function right , like um c brightness , contrast , whatever , it will just say {disfmarker}Marketing: Right . Okay .Industrial Designer: Youknow it's like it only has four columns , it's a very simple L_C_D_ like , whereas many {disfmarker} the minimum amount we need that the user will automaticallyknow like this is brightness or this is contrast .Marketing: Right .Project Manager: Mm-hmm . Okay cool .Marketing: Right , 'kay .Industrial Designer: It mighteven be one , a bit more complex L_C_D_ panel with pictures like maybe the sun or the , you know , the the symbols of the various functions .Marketing:OkayProject Manager: Oh right okay .Marketing: Mm-hmm , and what is this here ?Project Manager: Cool .Industrial Designer: That's a number pad .Marketing:Okay so the number pad is {disfmarker} 'Kay , great .Project Manager: Where are we gonna have the slogan ?Industrial Designer: Um they're al along this{disfmarker}User Interface: You know , just like right inside there .Industrial Designer: Yeah .Project Manager: Okay cool .Industrial Designer: You have thisspace here , and then you have this thing on the side as well , or at the bottom .Project Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: 'Cause slogans are usuallyquite small , right ,Project Manager: Okay .Industrial Designer: they're not like hugeMarketing: Mm .Industrial Designer: so they're sMarketing: Yep .IndustrialDesigner: Say a button's aboutProject Manager: Okay .Marketing: Looks good .Industrial Designer: say a button's about this size , right , so you would still haveplenty of space for a slogan , say even for that .Marketing: Yep . {vocalsound} Mm-hmm .Project Manager: So if this isn't to scale , what kind of dimensions areyou thinking about here ?User Interface: {vocalsound} Well {vocalsound} we want the other buttons to be big enough to push easily with a fingerProjectManager: Mm-hmm .User Interface: so we reckon maybe that'll be about the same size as the palm of your hand . {gap}Marketing: Okay .Industrial Designer:Yep so that would be about a centimetre for a button , so one two three four centimetres . Plus maybe half o fiveMarketing: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: sixseven eight ,Marketing: About nine in total .Project Manager: Six , seven , eight , nine , ten .Industrial Designer: about yeah nine total .Project Manager: So we'retalking about ten centimetres .Marketing: That sounds good . Yeah .Project Manager: That would be good . So ten centimetres in height .Marketing: Yep.Industrial Designer: Nine , ten . Yep .Project Manager: Okay um {vocalsound} .Marketing: That'd be good , in fact a pen is about ten centimetres usually , sothat would be {disfmarker} that sounds like a really good size , if you see it there .Project Manager: Yeah . That's great and it's very bright as well . So um okay.Marketing: Mm . Is it possible {disfmarker} uh I'm just gonna bring up the idea of colours . Is these are these the colours that {disfmarker} of production , or isthis just what we had available ?User Interface: Well I'm {disfmarker} We're gonna have again the the sort of the foggy um yellow from last time that lit up whenyou pushed the button .Marketing: Right .Project Manager: Okay so just {disfmarker}User Interface: Um {disfmarker}Project Manager: could you just list all thethings that it does s so I can write them in the report .User Interface: But um {vocalsound} this button um , because it's red it's sort of very prominent , we'regonna use it as uh {disfmarker} it can be the power button if you hold it for maybe two seconds it'll send a stand-by signal .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Excuse me .Project Manager: Mm-hmm .User Interface: Um apart from that it's gonna be used as a confirm button for the L_C_D_ screenIndustrial Designer:Sure .Project Manager: Okay .User Interface: and you use this as a jog-dial .Project Manager: Okay so that's like an okay button , right .Marketing: Mm-hmm.Industrial Designer: Oh we've discussed how h high it is , but how wide is it ? {vocalsound}User Interface: I don't know . {vocalsound}Project Manager: Okay.Marketing: How high is it ?Industrial Designer: No as in the height , but what about the width ?Marketing: Yeah .Project Manager: Oh ohUser Interface: Didn'tput five centimetres .Project Manager: like depth of the actual thing .Industrial Designer: Do we need five ? I don't think five is {disfmarker}User Interface: Um.Industrial Designer: be about th three and a half .Marketing: Okay .Project Manager: Oh is this k to get an idea of scale from your from your thing there okay.User Interface: Something by there .Industrial Designer: Yeah , yeah .Marketing: Sure .Project Manager: So you can power on and off , what else can you do?Marketing: Three and a half .User Interface: Um you can skip straight to a channel using these buttons .Project Manager: Okay .User Interface: Um , weregonna have the volume control here , but um because we've got the the L_C_D_ and the jog-dial we just thought we'd um use that as the volume .ProjectManager: Okay jog-dial for volume . And what else do you do with the jog-dial ?Marketing: Mm-hmm .User Interface: Um you can use it for um more advancedfunctions like contrast , colour and {disfmarker}Project Manager: Contrast , brightness ,User Interface: Um yeah .Project Manager: yeah , and anything else?User Interface: Um just whatever else we wanted to include as the advanced functions , um we didn't actually go through and specify the {disfmarker}ProjectManager: Well of the designers what are they ?User Interface: Uh what can a T_V_ do ?Industrial Designer: Okay things like um brightness , contrast ,ProjectManager: Uh-huh .Industrial Designer: um maybe tuning the channels .Project Manager: Okay channel tuning .Industrial Designer: Um .Project Manager: That's agood one .Industrial Designer: What else ? Um the various inputs . Are you having a V_C_R_ , are you having {disfmarker} you know which input do you have?Marketing: Mm-hmm , mm-hmm .Project Manager: Okay auxiliary inputs .Marketing: Mm-hmm ,Industrial Designer: Um .Marketing: probably colour orsharpness .Industrial Designer: Yep , colour , sharpness . Um a lot of these things will have to be um free and open for users to define them .Project Manager:Sharpness . Okay what about uh sound settingsMarketing: Mm-hmm .Project Manager: ? Uh d can you change any of those at all ?Marketing: Audio .IndustrialDesigner: Audio , we have like your basic y your base , your mid-range , your high range .User Interface: Um .Industrial Designer: Um .User Interface: {gap} thethe balance hmm .Industrial Designer: Yep , left-right balance , um maybe even pre-programmed sound modes , like um the user could determine like a series ofsound modes ,Project Manager: Okay .Industrial Designer: and then what could happen would be um when you click on that then it would go to that setting.Marketing: Mm-hmm .Project Manager: Okay ,Marketing: Mm 'kay .Industrial Designer: Yeah .Project Manager: is there anything else at all it can do ? That{disfmarker} 'cause that's that's fine . Just need to know so I can write it down . Okay um right I g I guess that's it , so we can now um {vocalsound}{disfmarker} We can now have a little look at the the Excel sheet and price listing , and see if we need to um if we need to rethink anything at all .User Interface:Mm-hmm .Project Manager: So um for this first part here power-wise , have we got battery ?Industrial Designer: The battery .Project Manager: Do we havekinetic as well ?Industrial Designer: No .Project Manager: No . Okay ,Industrial Designer: Um .Project Manager: just battery .Industrial Designer: We need an{disfmarker}Project Manager: And that's because of cost restraints is it ?Industrial Designer: Yep .Project Manager: OkayUser Interface: Yeah .IndustrialDesigner: Yeah advanced chip .Project Manager: um what about the electronics here ?Industrial Designer: We need an advanced chip I think , yep .ProjectManager: Advanced chip .Industrial Designer: Let me just confirm that . Yes I think so . Yep .Project Manager: Okay um the case , what does it mean by singleand double , do you know ?User Interface: Um I think single would just be sort of one sort of oval whereas double is this sort of thing .Industrial Designer: Yeah.Project Manager: So we want double-curved ?Industrial Designer: Yep .Project Manager: Okay . Um .Industrial Designer: Plastic .Project Manager: Is there anyrubber at all in the buttons or anyIndustrial Designer: I think we're gonna have to skip the rubber .Project Manager: Okay ,Industrial Designer: Um .ProjectManager: um and we wanted special colours didn't we ?Industrial Designer: Yep .Project Manager: So I'll have to put that {disfmarker} Oh no wait we{disfmarker} ho how many colours have we got there ?Industrial Designer: For the case itself , one colour . It's one special colour .Project Manager: Just onecolour , okay .Industrial Designer: 'Cause the case unit itself , the rest of our components go on top of it .Project Manager: Okay so interface-wise , is it this thirdoption we have , the two of them there ?Marketing: Mm .Industrial Designer: Yes . One and the L_C_ display .Project Manager: Okay and then buttons , we have"}

Also , um , I thinkthat , uh {pause} um {pause} we might hear later today , about other results . I think s that , uh , there were some other very good results that we 're gonnawanna compare to . But , {vocalsound} r our results from other {disfmarker} other places , yeah .PhD A: I I 'm sorry ? I didn'tProfessor D: Um , I got this fromyouPhD A: Yeah .Professor D: and then I sent a note to Sunil about the {disfmarker} cuz he has been running some other systemsPhD A: Mm - hmm .ProfessorD: other than the {disfmarker} the ICSI OGI one .PhD A: Oh yeah .Professor D: So {pause} um , I wan wanna {disfmarker} wanna see what that is . But , uh ,you know , so we 'll see what it is comparatively later . But {pause} it looks like , umPhD A: M yeah .Professor D: You know most of the time , even {disfmarker}I mean even though it 's true that the overall number for Danish {disfmarker} we didn't improve it If you look at it individually , what it really says is that there 's, um , uh Looks like out of the six cases , between the different kinds of , uh , matching conditions {pause} out of the six cases , there 's basically , um , a couplewhere it stays about the same , uh , three where it gets better , and one where it gets worse .PhD A: Yeah .Professor D: Uh , go ahead .PhD A: Y Actually , uh ,um , for the Danish , there 's still some kind of mystery because , um , um , when we use the straight features , we are not able to get these nice number withthe ICSI OGI one , I mean . We don't have this ninety - three seventy - eight , we have eightPhD E: Eighty - nine forty - four .PhD A: yeah . Uh , so , uh , that 'sprobably something wrong with the features that we get from OGI . Uh , and Sunil is working on {disfmarker} on trying to {disfmarker} to check everything.Professor D: Oh , and {disfmarker} and we have a little time on that {disfmarker} and {disfmarker} actually soPhD A: Hmm ?Professor D: We have a little bit oftime on that , actually .PhD A: Yeah .Professor D: We have a day or so , so When {disfmarker} when {disfmarker} when do you folks leave ?PhD A: Uh , Sunday.Professor D: Sunday ? So So , uh Yeah , until Saturday midnight , or something , we have W we {disfmarker} we have time , yeah . Well , that would be good .That 'd be good .PhD A: Yeah .Professor D: Yeah . Uh , and , you know , i u when whenever anybody figures it out they should also , for sure , email Hynekbecause Hynek will be over there {vocalsound} telling people {vocalsound} what we did , so he should know .PhD A: Mmm . Yeah .Professor D: Good , OK . So ,um So , we 'll {disfmarker} we 'll hold off on that a little bit . I mean , even with these results as they are , it 's {disfmarker} it 's {disfmarker} it 's really not thatbad . But {disfmarker} but , uh , um And it looks like the overall result as they are now , even without , you know , any {disfmarker} any bugs being fixed is that, uh , on the {disfmarker} the other tasks , we had this average of , uh , forty uh {disfmarker} nine percent , or so , improvement . And here we have somewhatbetter than that than the Danish , and somewhat worse than that on the German , but I mean , it sounds like , uh , one way or another , the methods that we 'redoing can reduce the error rate from {disfmarker} from mel ceptrum {pause} down by , you know {pause} a fourth of them to , uh , a half of them . Somewherein there , depending on the {pause} exact case . So So that 's good . I mean , I think that , uh , one of the things that Hynek was talking about wasunderstanding what was in the other really good proposals and {disfmarker} and trying to see if what should ultimately be proposed is some , uh , combination ofthings . Um , if , uh {disfmarker} Cuz there 's things that they are doing {pause} there that we certainly are not doing . And there 's things that we 're doing that{pause} they 're not doing . And {disfmarker} and they all seem like good things .PhD A: Yeah .Professor D: SoPhD E: Mmm , yeah .PhD C: How much{disfmarker} how much better was the best system than ours ?Professor D: So Well , we don't know yet .PhD C: Mmm .Professor D: Uh , I mean , first place ,there 's still this thing to {disfmarker} to work out , and second place {disfmarker} second thing is that the only results that we have so far from before werereally development set results .PhD C: Oh , OK .Professor D: So , I think in this community that 's of interest . It 's not like everything is being pinned on theevaluation set . But , um , for the development set , our best result was a little bit short of fifty percent . And the best result of any system was about fifty - four ,where these numbers are the , uh , relative , uh , reduction in , uh , word error rate .PhD C: Oh , OK .Professor D: And , um , the other systems were , uh ,somewhat lower than that . There was actually {disfmarker} there was much less of a huge range than there was in Aurora one . In Aurora one there were{disfmarker} there were systems that ba basically didn't improve things .PhD C: Hmm .Professor D: And here the {disfmarker} the worst system {pause} stillreduced the error rate by thirty - three percent , or something , in development set .PhD C: Oh , wow .Professor D: So {disfmarker} so , you know , sort ofeverybody is doing things between , well , roughly a third of the errors , and half the errors being eliminated , {vocalsound} uh , and varying on different test setsand so forth .PhD C: Mm - hmm .Professor D: So I think Um {pause} It 's probably a good time to look at what 's really going on and seeing if there 's a{disfmarker} there 's a way to combine the best ideas while at the same time not blowing up the amount of , uh , resources used , cuz that 's {disfmarker} that's critical for this {disfmarker} this test .PhD C: Do we know anything about {disfmarker} who {disfmarker} who 's was it that had the lowest on the dev set?Professor D: Um , uh , the , uh , the there were two systems that were put forth by a combination of {disfmarker} of , uh , French Telecom and Alcatel . And ,um they {disfmarker} they differed in some respects , but they e em one was called the French Telecom Alcatel System the other was called the Alcatel FrenchTelecom System , {vocalsound} uh , which is the biggest difference , I think . But {disfmarker} but there 're {disfmarker} there 're {disfmarker} there 're someother differences , too . Uh , and {disfmarker} and , uh , they both did very well ,PhD C: Uh - huh .Professor D: you know ? So , {vocalsound} um , myimpression is they also did very well on {disfmarker} on the {disfmarker} the , uh , evaluation set , but , um , I {disfmarker} I we haven't seen {disfmarker} you've - you haven't seen any final results for thatPhD C: And they used {disfmarker} the main thing that {disfmarker} that they used was spectral subtraction?Professor D: yeah .PhD C: OrProfessor D: There is a couple pieces to it . There 's a spectral subtraction style piece {disfmarker} it was basically , you know ,Wiener filtering . And then {disfmarker} then there was some p some modification of the cepstral parameters , where they {disfmarker}PhD A: Yeah , actually ,something that 's close to cepstral mean subtraction . But , uh , the way the mean is adapted {disfmarker} um , it 's signal dependent . I 'm {disfmarker} I 'm ,uh So , basically , the mean is adapted during speech and not during silence .Professor D: Yeah .PhD A: But it 's very close to {disfmarker} to cepstral meansubtraction .Professor D: But some people have done {vocalsound} {pause} exactly that sort of thing , of {disfmarker} of {disfmarker} and the {disfmarker} Imean it 's not {disfmarker} To {disfmarker} to look in {pause} speech only , to try to m to measure these things during speech ,PhD A: Yeah , yeah .ProfessorD: that 's p that 's not that uncommon . But i it it {disfmarker} so it looks like they did some {disfmarker} some , uh , reasonable things , uh , and they 're notthings that we did , precisely . We did unreasonable things , {vocalsound} which {disfmarker} because we like to try strange things , and {disfmarker} and , uh ,and our things worked too .PhD C: Hmm .Professor D: And so , um , uh , it 's possible that some combination of these different things that were done would bethe best thing to do . But the only caveat to that is that everybody 's being real conscious of how much memory and how much CPU they 're usingPhD C: Mm -hmm .Professor D: because these , {vocalsound} {vocalsound} {vocalsound} uh , standards are supposed to go on cell phones with m moderate resources inboth respects .PhD C: Did anybody , uh , do anything with the models as a {disfmarker} an experiment ? OrProfessor D: Uh , they didn't report it , if they did.PhD C: N nobody reported it ?Professor D: Yeah . I think everybody was focused elsewhere . Um , now , one of the things that 's nice about what we did is , wedo have a {disfmarker} a , uh {disfmarker} a filtering , which leads to a {disfmarker} a , uh {disfmarker} a reduction in the bandwidth in the modulationspectrum , which allows us to downsample . So , uh , as a result of that we have a reduced , um , transmission rate for the bits .PhD C: Mm - hmm .Professor D:That was misreported the first time out . It {disfmarker} it said the same amount because for convenience sake in the particular way that this is being tested , uh, they were repeating the packets . So it was {disfmarker} they were s they {disfmarker} they had twenty - four hundred bits per second , but they were literallycreating forty - eight hundred bits per second , {vocalsound} um , even though y it was just repeated .PhD C: Oh . Mm - hmm . Right .Professor D: So , uh , inpracticePhD C: So you could 've had a repeat count in there or something .Professor D: Well , n I mean , this was just a ph phoney thing just to {disfmarker} tofit into the {disfmarker} the software that was testing the errors {disfmarker} channel errors and so on .PhD C: Oh . Oh .Professor D: So {disfmarker} so inreality , if you put this {disfmarker} this system in into , uh , the field , it would be twenty - four hundred bits per second , not forty - eight hundred . So , um , sothat 's a nice feature of what {disfmarker} what we did . Um , but , um , well , we still have to see how it all comes out .PhD C: Hmm .Professor D: Um , and thenthere 's the whole standards process , which is another thing altogether .PhD C: When is the development set {disfmarker} I mean , the , uh , uh , test setresults due ? Like the day before you leave or something ?Professor D: Uh , probably the day after they leave , but we 'll have to {disfmarker} {vocalsound} we'll have to stop it the day before {comment} we leave .PhD A: Yeah , yeah . SoPhD C: Huh .Professor D: I think tha I think the {disfmarker} the meeting is on thethirteenth or something .PhD A: Yeah , this Tuesday , yeah .Professor D: And , uh , they , uh Right . And the {disfmarker} the , uh , results are due like the daybefore the meeting or something . SoPhD A: Yeah , probably , wellProfessor D: I th I think {disfmarker} I I think they are ,PhD A: Yeah , wellProfessor D: yeah .So {pause} {vocalsound} um , since we have a bit farther to travel than {vocalsound} some of the others , {vocalsound} uh , we 'll have to get done a littlequicker . But , um , I mean , it 's just tracing down these bugs . I mean , just exactly this sort of thing of , you know , why {disfmarker} why these features seem"}

No .ProjectManager: Uh you want a table to to uhMarketing: I c I can talk about it but I have no slides or anything .Project Manager: Yes yes maybe maybe you can uh canjust talk about it or maybe you can use the whiteboard if necessary um .Marketing: Mm-hmm . Well I've just been um presented with some research we've donein a small focus group so , a hundred people , just asked them about their remote control usage habits and what they want in a remote control . Um . It's{disfmarker} probably can't email this to you , I've just got a web page with some data on it . Um basically it's saying that users generally dislike the look andfeel of their remote controls . Um seventy five u seventy five percent of users find most remote controls ugly . Um .Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Marketing: Eightypercent of users would spend more money when a remote control would look fancy . Um . Current remote controls do not match well the operating behaviour ofthe user . Uh seventy five percent of users said they zap a lot , so they use their remote control quite frequently while they're watching television . Uh . Fiftypercent of users say that they only use ten percent of the buttons , so they've got a remote control with a lot of functionality but really most of the time they onlyuse a small part of that .Project Manager: Mm .Marketing: Um .Project Manager: Do you Do you have this uh information on the web page you said ?Marketing: Ihave an a web page yes .Project Manager: Yes , mayb maybe you can can send an email to me later uh . Uh about this .Marketing: Yep . Yep , sure . Mm-hmm .So basically um there's a breakdown of how much they use the different functions on a rem remote control . Um , power and volume selection are only used a fewtimes within this uh per hour . Um , channel selection is used a hundred and sixty eight times um {vocalsound} and then there's things like channel settings ,audio settings , which are only used very infrequently .Project Manager: Mm .Marketing: Um . Teletext is used um fourteen times in the hour , so it is used butnot nearly as much as the channel selection is used . Um .Project Manager: Mm .Marketing: An interesting thing that this report has brought up is that um fiftyfifty percent of users report that the remote control gets lost a lot of the time in the room , so some way of some way of locating the remote control would be veryuseful to a lot of users . Um .Project Manager: Yes yes , I have {vocalsound} that too {vocalsound} .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: Thirty fourpercent said it takes too long to learn to use a remote control , they want something that's easier to use straight away , more intuitive perhaps .Project Manager:Mm .Marketing: Um .Industrial Designer: It's it's easy to learn or how do you say it's {disfmarker}Marketing: Thirty four percent said it took too much time tolearn to use a new one . Yep .Industrial Designer: Okay too much time to learn . Okay .Marketing: Um . And thirty {disfmarker} twenty six percent said remotecontrols are bad for R_S_I_ .Industrial Designer: Not enough {gap}Marketing: I don't know how we'd go about combating that .User Interface: {gap} . What doyou mean there ?Marketing: For R_S_I_ ? Respet Repetitive strain injury .User Interface: Okay .Marketing: So . But {disfmarker}Project Manager: Mm . Theythink that or do their doctor the doctor says ?Marketing: Mm .Project Manager: {vocalsound} But it's it's the opinion of the uh of the users huh ?Marketing: Yeah .That's what the report says yeah .Project Manager: So mm .Marketing: Um and then it's got a demographic breakdown on {disfmarker}Industrial Designer:Maybe y y you cannot put this webpage online on the {disfmarker}Marketing: Uh I should be able to actually , if I email it to you now .User Interface: You candisconnect it thereProject Manager: {vocalsound} You can maybe just just {disfmarker}User Interface: no ?Marketing: Oh no , yeah .Industrial Designer: Ah it's{vocalsound} it okay it's a webpage on the C_ it's a fileMarketing: Yeah .Industrial Designer: okay .Marketing: Um , s hang on .Industrial Designer: O otherwiseyou yeah . You can connect this one .Project Manager: {gap}User Interface: Then you can connect this one or this one yeah .Project Manager: {vocalsound}UserInterface: All to your computer .Industrial Designer: Yeah .Marketing: Well .Industrial Designer: So these are important numbers that Matthew and I need to takeinto account for our functional um {disfmarker}User Interface: Oh yeah .Project Manager: {gap}Marketing: Oh I need to muck around with this . It's probablyeasier if you put it on yours and then I'll just email it to you . It's just a web link .Project Manager: Hmm .Industrial Designer: Yeah {gap}User Interface: Okay.Industrial Designer: Yeah these numbers have have to be have to be taken into account for the uh both yeah user interface and functional design .UserInterface: Hmm . {vocalsound} Yeah .Marketing: One thing it goes on to talk about , which is interesting , is the {disfmarker} hang on a minute .IndustrialDesigner: Because if there are many numbers and we need to select to to constraint uh our design based on what is more important .Marketing: Mm-hmm . Yep.Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Marketing: Um , one thing is interesting is talking about um speech recognition in a remote control .Industrial Designer: Speechrecognition in {disfmarker}Marketing: And who would pay more for that and whether people would find it useful .Project Manager: D do you have numbers o o onthat ?Industrial Designer: Ah okay .Marketing: Yes , I'll just get this up .Industrial Designer: So that we don't {disfmarker} Do we not need any button on theremote control {vocalsound}Marketing: Well potentially yeah , um {disfmarker}Project Manager: {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer:it would be all based on speech .Marketing: I think even for interestiIndustrial Designer: Okay . Interesting idea .Marketing: yeah I think that would not work sowell . You wanna have both options .Industrial Designer: Okay .Project Manager: Well it would it would be a solution for uh when your remote control is lost,Marketing: Mm-hmm .Project Manager: I mean when it has speech recognition then uh i then it doesn't matter where it is , my {disfmarker} well it's{disfmarker} we should be in range ,Industrial Designer: Yeah .Marketing: Mm .Project Manager: or maybe it can respond and produce sound , so say where it is. But the these are all quite fancy featuresIndustrial Designer: Yeah .Project Manager: I'm not sure whether we will we can make this for {vocalsound} for twelveEuro fi and fifty cents {vocalsound} .User Interface: Well it would be fMarketing: Yeah .Industrial Designer: Yeah .User Interface: No you can't .IndustrialDesigner: And we don't know where the state of the art of speech recognition is , maybe you know ?User Interface: Oh . Well , {vocalsound} it depends you knowlike there is uh it's a very small vocabulary that you want to do the operations like you want to say on , off , one , two , twenty three ,Project Manager: Mm.Industrial Designer: But it's quite noisy if there is the T_V_ uh shouting .Marketing: Mm .User Interface: yeah .Marketing: Yeah .Project Manager: Yes ,UserInterface: It's it's going to be liProject Manager: that that that that's mm .User Interface: it's not going to be s so easy but u usually it's going to be more of anisolated caseProject Manager: Do you have some more important factsUser Interface: but it's {disfmarker} but I don't know with twenty fiMarketing: Um{disfmarker}Project Manager: or can we go to the next presentation ?Industrial Designer: Okay . SoMarketing: Well {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: you had toto to summarise maybe the {disfmarker}Marketing: This is now talking about um who would pay for speech recognition in a remote control , who would pay morefor it , um . Ninety percent of the fifteen to twenty five year old market said that they would pay more , it goes down from there , seventy six percent for twentyfive to thirty five , thirty five percent for thirty five to forty five , um twenty two percent for forty five to fifty five and then eight percent for fifty five to sixty five.Project Manager: Mm .User Interface: Okay it's uh decline .Marketing: Yeah .User Interface: Okay .Marketing: But we shProject Manager: Mm-hmm . Declinewith age , mm .Marketing: Yeah , it really depends where we're gonna be targeting this product , um ,User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Mm .{vocalsound}Marketing: which we'll be talking about later I think .Industrial Designer: Mm .Project Manager: Yes . We will talk about it later .{vocalsound}Marketing: Did you get the email ?Project Manager: Okay . {vocalsound}Marketing: Yep , that one .Industrial Designer: Mm-hmm .Marketing: Just"}
+{"doc_id":"doc_91","qid":"","text":"Project Manager: Yep . Soon as I get this . Okay . This is our last meeting . Um I'll go ahead and go through the minutes from the previous meeting . Uh and thenwe'll have a , the prototype presentation . {vocalsound} Um then we will um do an evaluation . Uh or we'll see what , what we need to have under the criteria forthe evaluation . Then we'll go through the finance and see if we fall within the budget . Um then we'll do the evaluation , and then we can finish up after that withum any changes that we'll need to make , or hopefully everything will fall right in line . Um let's see , minutes from the last meeting . Um we looked at uh the thetrends . We had uh the fashion trends that people want a fancy look-and-feel . It was twice as important as anything else . Um they liked fruit and vegetables inthe new styles . Um and a spongy feel . So we were talking about trying to incorporate those into our prototype . Um they wanted limited buttons and simplicity .Um then we looked at the uh the method for coming up with our own remote . Um looking at other other devices . Um the iPod , we really liked the look of that .Um we also had uh the kid's remote for a simple idea . Um a two part remote , which was what were were originally looking at . Uh and then um there was talk ofspee uh speech recognition um becoming more uh predominant and easier to use . But I think we've still decided not to go with that . {vocalsound} Then welooked at the components um the materials for the case , the different energy sources , the different types of chips , um and made a decision on what we weregoing to use to make our remote . Um and basically how , what were making for the prototype . So I'm going to leave it at that and let you guys take over .UserInterface: The prototype discussion .Project Manager: The prototype yeah . Do you need a {disfmarker} this ?User Interface: No . {vocalsound}Project Manager:Okay .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Can try to plug that in thereUser Interface: There is our remo {gap} the banana .Marketing: {vocalsound}IndustrialDesigner: but {disfmarker}User Interface: Um {vocalsound} yeah basically we we st went with the colour yellow . Um working on the principle of a fruit whichwas mentioned , it's basically designed around a banana .Project Manager: {vocalsound}User Interface: Um but it would be held in such a fashion ,Marketing:{vocalsound}User Interface: where it is , obviously it wouldn't be that floppy 'cause this would be hard plastic . These would be like the rubber , the rubber grips .So that's so that would hopefully help with grip , or like the ergonomics of it . Um but all the controlling would be done with this scroll wheel . You have to useyour imagination a little bit . And this here represents the screen , where you , where you'd go through .Project Manager: Very nice .User Interface: And the thesimplest functions would be um almost identical to an iPod , where that one way ch through channels , that way th other way through channels . Volume up anddown . And then to access the more complicated functions you'd you sorta go , you press that and go through the menus . It's that that simple . That justrepresents the infrared uh beam . That's a simple on and off switch . Um I don't know , we could use the voice . T that blue bits should be yellow , that that'd bewhere the batteries would be I suppose . And um {vocalsound} that's about it . It's as simple as you , we could make it really .Industrial Designer: Right .UserInterface: Is there anything you want to add ?Industrial Designer: That's what we have there . That's plastic . Plastic covered with rubber . We might uh addsome more underneath here . Maybe give it , give it a form . I mean you're supposed to hold it like that , but um just if you grab it , take it from somewhere ,UserInterface: Yeah .Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: so {disfmarker} yeah ,User Interface: Doesn't make much make much difference .IndustrialDesigner: you have some rub yeah .User Interface: You could work left-handed or right-handed I suppose .Industrial Designer: Exactly , {gap} use both . Mightas well think about {disfmarker}User Interface: T the actual thing might be smaller .Industrial Designer: Th think about the button as well . Like either put eitherone {gap} one on either side orUser Interface: {vocalsound} Yeah .Project Manager: What but what's that button ?Industrial Designer: not do it at all . It's aquick on-off button .User Interface: Just the on and off .Project Manager: Uh , 'kay .Industrial Designer: That's umMarketing: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer:yeah I think it's pretty important . So you don't have to fiddle with that .Project Manager: 'Kay .Industrial Designer: Right ? Um that's not um {disfmarker}ProjectManager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: I'd say a bit smaller would probably be nice . You wanna play with that over there .User Interface: Yeah .IndustrialDesigner: There you go .User Interface: It's you know it's flimsy 'cause it's made out of heavy Play-Doh ,Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Would youlike to uh {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Right .User Interface: but {disfmarker}Marketing: Pretty impressive .Project Manager: Well done .User Interface:{vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound} Kind of a banana .User Interface: And whether or not it would fall into the cost {gap} everything I suppose . With thescroll and the L_C_D_ .Project Manager: Well luckily we are going to find out . Or not luckily . Um do you have a marketing presentation for us .IndustrialDesigner: {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound} I do . Okay . You guys are gonna help me do an evaluation of the criteria . Um . Okay . So first I'll just discusssome of the criteria that I found . Just based on the past trend reports that I was looking at earlier . And then we'll do a group evaluation of the prototype . Andthen we will calculate the average score to see how we did . Um so the criteria we're gonna be looking at are the complaints um that we heard from the users whowere interviewed earlier . So we're gonna be doing it based on a seven point scale . And one is going to mean true , that we did actually achieve that . With sevenbeing false , we did not achieve that . {gap} . Okay . So for the first one , we need to decide , did we solved the problem of the users who complained about anugly remote ? {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} {vocalsound} .User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: I think it's definitely different thananything else out there .User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: Mm .User Interface: Yeah .Project Manager: So if they think that what is out there is ugly , thenyes I would say , I would say most definitely .Marketing: {vocalsound}User Interface: I would {gap} .Project Manager: It's bright .User Interface: It's bright . It's{disfmarker}Project Manager: It still has your traditional black .User Interface: It's curved . It's not {disfmarker} there's no sharpIndustrial Designer:{vocalsound}User Interface: angles to it .Project Manager: Yep , not angular .Marketing: Mm .Industrial Designer: I'd say , when it comes to the ergonomics , theform and stuff , yes that's definitely more beautiful than your average .Marketing: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: However the colour , we don't have a say inthat .Marketing: Yeah I think the colours detract a little bit . {vocalsound}User Interface: Some people might say it . Yeah .Industrial Designer: That has been ,that has been dictated pretty much by the company .Project Manager: Mm .Industrial Designer: So uh to answer that honestly I would rather say like uh , wehave not solved the problem completely with the ugly remote because the colour is ugly , definitely .Project Manager: {vocalsound} Yep .Marketing: That's true .Yeah .Project Manager: {vocalsound}User Interface: Yeah .Industrial Designer: 'S nothing you can say about that . I mean I much prefer something like brushedchrome with that form .User Interface: Yeah .Industrial Designer: But {disfmarker}Project Manager: Yeah something more modern to go {disfmarker} a amodern colour to go with the modern form .Industrial Designer: Right . Right . It's different . You don't want your uh three feet huge L_C_D_ dis display in yourliving room that's hanging from the wall to be controlled with something like that .Marketing: Um okay so , do you think , since we {disfmarker} This was a a signcriteria , do you think maybe we should put it somewhere in the middle then ?Industrial Designer: Yeah .Marketing: Does that sound good ?Project Manager:Yeah .User Interface: Yeah .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: What do you think ? Three ? Four ?Project Manager: I would sayMarketing: Five ?ProjectManager: four . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Yeah . {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound} Four is fair . Okay .Project Manager: Very non-committal , four.Marketing: Okay , the second one . Did we make it simple for new users ?Industrial Designer: It's very intuitive , I think yeah .User Interface: Yeah . I think thatwas the main aim , one of the main aims that we had .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} S give it a one .Marketing: One ,Project Manager: Yeah .Marketing: 'kay. Okay . Um , do the controls now match the operating behaviour of the users ?User Interface: Uh yeah . 'Cause we've we've brought it down to basically fourcontrols {gap} most common , which are channel and volume .Marketing: I'd say that {disfmarker}Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: Right .UserInterface: And then the other ones are just a matter of just going , just scrolling further .Project Manager: S scrolling through and selecting a few .IndustrialDesigner: Right . So that's a one .Marketing: So one ?Project Manager: I think that's a one .Marketing: Yeah ? {vocalsound} Okay . Okay um the fourth one .How about the problem of a remote being easily lost ? One of the number one complaints .Industrial Designer: Something that big and that yellow you just don'tlose anymore .Project Manager: {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound} Yeah .Marketing: {vocalsound} Whether you want to or not , you're not gonna lose it. {vocalsound}User Interface: It's bright yellow .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface: Bright yellow's hard to lose . But um if we were to , if we were, that , the speech recognition . That , we could maybe just use that solely for the the finding thing . That was what we'd we'd mentioned .Project Manager: So ifwe incorporate speech recognition into it then it could {disfmarker}User Interface: Just just to use , to find it when it was lost . But like I said , like I don't thinkyou'd lose something so yellow so easily .Industrial Designer: Oops . Hmm .User Interface: And it's not gonna fall , like a rectangle would slip down behind things. That's gonna be a difficult shape to {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Well what {disfmarker}Project Manager: And it is quite bright and {disfmarker}UserInterface: Yeah .Marketing: {vocalsound}User Interface: Maybe in the middle again , three or four or something ?Project Manager: Uh {disfmarker}IndustrialDesigner: SMarketing: Okay .User Interface: I mean you know {gap} loo losing things is one of those things that people can lose , I mean a million ways .ProjectManager: Yeah .User Interface: You can pick it up and walk away with it and then you've lost it .Industrial Designer: Mm .Marketing: That's true .ProjectManager: But if we do go with the , with the speech recognition , then it , then our scale goes up quite a bit I think .Marketing: Mm .Industrial Designer: Oh yeah"}

So my favourite animal {disfmarker}Project Manager: Yeah ,what's your favourite animal ?Industrial Designer: 'Kay um {disfmarker}Marketing: Ah .Project Manager: Is it rude ?Marketing: It's an elephant .{vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: That's a very good elephant .User Interface: The back end of an elephant .Marketing: Oh my gosh ,I'm never gonna be able to draw that well . {vocalsound}Project Manager: 'Kay , and you want to write up on there , it says you've gotta sum up your f f yourfavourite characteristics of that animal .Industrial Designer: Um {vocalsound} okay , it's big , it's got a great memory .Marketing: Does it ? Oh .IndustrialDesigner: Supposed to have a great memory , we say an elephant never forgets .Project Manager: Mm .Marketing: Mm .Industrial Designer: And uh dunno knowwhy but {vocalsound} looks like nice to me .Project Manager: Okay . Wonderful , well done .Industrial Designer: Nice animal .Project Manager: Do you want touse the wipe {disfmarker} the m the wiper and wipe it off ?Industrial Designer: Okay .Project Manager: And Mister aesthetics designer do you wanna go next?User Interface: {vocalsound} Aesthetic yep , sure .Marketing: I have no idea what my favourite animal is .User Interface: 'Kay , my favourite animal ,Marketing:{vocalsound}User Interface: uh let's see .Marketing: Oh .User Interface: Dunno if any of you have seen Napoleon Dynamite before .Marketing: It's{disfmarker}User Interface: It's a liger {vocalsound} ,Project Manager: No .Marketing: A what ?User Interface: a combination of a lion and tiger {vocalsound}.Marketing: Alright .Project Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface: Have you not seen Napoleon Dynamite ?Marketing: How{gap} .Project Manager: No .Industrial Designer: No .User Interface: Oh it's a hilarious movie .Marketing: No .User Interface: You have to see it .

Me ?Project Manager: Yeah . Miss mar Miss Marketing ?Marketing: Okay . Not quite sure how this is gonna work .User Interface: There{gap} go .Marketing: {vocalsound} Cool . {vocalsound} Uh {vocalsound} well I'll try my best {vocalsound} to draw . Can I just draw the face ?Project Manager:Um yeah , I think you can just draw the face , but then you'll have to describe in writing how the rest of it looks . {vocalsound}Marketing: Ooh . It's a cat .ProjectManager: That's a very pr pretty cat .Marketing: {vocalsound} Which also has what ? A big fat body and big {disfmarker} and a long tail .Project Manager: Okay ,do y do you wanna do some {disfmarker} write {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound} Why ?Project Manager: you wanna just write some words about it?Marketing: Because um cuddly . And usually cats are very friendly . Usually . And they're healing as well . They heal . And they can feel when a human's gotproblems so {disfmarker}Project Manager: Wow , so they're kinda spiritual .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: So , that's why I like cats .ProjectManager: Well done .Marketing: There we are , that's me . {vocalsound}Project Manager: Okay .Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Um , I don't actuallyhave a favourite animal ,Marketing: Mm .Project Manager: but for the for th for this meeting I'll s draw a little {disfmarker}Marketing: {vocalsound} Mm-hmm.Project Manager: Uh .

Okay , so , I guess that wasthe test to see if this equipment is all working .Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Mm . Let's move on to the next page . Okay , project finance , sellingprice twenty five Euros , profit aim fifty million Euros .Marketing: Market range internationally sold .Project Manager: Yeah . Production cost , ah right it's gotta be{disfmarker} can't cost any more than twelve fifty to make .Marketing: Ah right okay .Project Manager: {gap} experience with with remote control , so talk aboutwho who's used what . Any ideas ? Stuff like that . Next meeting starts in thirty minutes . {vocalsound} At quarter to twelve . {vocalsound}User Interface: So Ithink before we close uh , we are expected {disfmarker} I mean the last slide wanted us to maybe discuss longer what our what our ideas where . I mean if youwanna go back to the last slide . Uh {disfmarker}Project Manager: Yeah .User Interface: SMarketing: Yeah .User Interface: Yeah , I think we're {disfmarker} Imean before we close the meeting , we're supposed to come up with some ideas for {disfmarker}Project Manager: Oh k so we're actually supposed to be doingthis discussion like right now are we or {disfmarker}User Interface: Yeah .Marketing: Yeah .Project Manager: oh okay .Industrial Designer: Mm .User Interface:Yeah .Project Manager: I thought this was just t giving us instructions for the re to do next , but {disfmarker}User Interface: Yeah , I think this is just thepreliminary , get some rough ideas for what our experiences with remote controls have been and and what we would {disfmarker} roughly what we wouldincorporate into a new one maybe .Project Manager: Okay . Right , who's got experiences with remote controls then ? Pretty much everybody .IndustrialDesigner: {vocalsound} Yeah .User Interface: Yeah , I think we've all got {disfmarker}Marketing: Uh . {vocalsound}Project Manager: Um .Industrial Designer: Isthis a T_V_ one we are supposed to make ?Marketing: Yeah . Yeah it's a T_V_ remote control .Industrial Designer: Okay .Project Manager: 'Kay um .Marketing:Well . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: TMarketing: A new remote control for T_V_ . What would I like ? {vocalsound} Um .Project Manager: W what{disfmarker} You want it big do you want it small . Are we are we going for like like telephones are going little teeny tiny things or we are going for somethingthat's that's big and {disfmarker}Marketing: Medium .User Interface: Mm . Yeah it seems like there's like {disfmarker} there's sort of a tension between twoideas , I mean , you want you want one remote that maybe can work uh all all of the functions of T_V_ and if you have whatever associated with T_V_ theD_V_D_ player , or something like that ,Project Manager: {vocalsound} Video and ts hi-fi and stuff .User Interface: but like at the same time you don't wannareally busy remote with a thousand buttons on it or something .Project Manager: Maybe you {disfmarker} yeahUser Interface: Mm .Project Manager: now ththat's the other thing is it's gotta be cheap .User Interface: Yeah .Project Manager: 'Cause I I I mean I was thinking something that's got different like maybe a aan L_C_D_ display on it that's got different pages for different devices ,Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: but that would p that would probably be quiteexpensive .Marketing: Mm .Industrial Designer: But how do we know how much uh , I mean , how much do we have per {disfmarker} how much ?Marketing:Twelve fifty .Industrial Designer: Twelve fifty . {vocalsound}User Interface: It g can't be more than twelve fifty per unit .Marketing: Each .Project Manager: Perunit , yeah .User Interface: Cost .Industrial Designer: So do we have to be realistic within the budget or {disfmarker}Project Manager: Well at the moment wecould , wa I mean we {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Close pr I don't know how much it would cost . Yeah .Marketing: Guess {disfmarker}Project Manager:'cause we this is what we th what we're doing at the moment is just saying what what we'd like , and then after we after we've found out what we can like , somedifferent ideas , we can then go and do the research to find out if these {disfmarker} any of these ideas are feasible or not .Industrial Designer: Right .ProjectManager: So would be nice to have something that that controls lots of different things .User Interface: Yeah .Project Manager: Um .Marketing: Couldn't we havelike one that comes out ? {vocalsound} Like so you have one in like {disfmarker} mmIndustrial Designer: Yeah .Marketing: it doesn't have to be really thick . Imean remote controls can be thin bits . And then you have one for your D_V_D_ and you sort of slide it out , and then you have another one , you slide it out.Project Manager: {vocalsound} 'Kay .Marketing: {gap} have slides . And then it all comes compactProject Manager: Okay , that's {gap} .Marketing: into one ."}

Um here's theagenda for our last meeting .Marketing: Whoohoo .Project Manager: Um after the opening we're going to have a prototype presentation , then we're going todiscuss the evaluation criteria and the financing of our remote . Then we're going to evaluate the product and I think the whole production process , and thenwe're gonna close it up , and we have forty minutes , so let's get started . Oh , no , let's have the prototype presentation .Industrial Designer: Mm 'kay ,UserInterface: {gap}Industrial Designer: you ready ?User Interface: Um sure . You or me ?Industrial Designer: Y you read that stuff , since you wrote it .UserInterface: Okay . Well , since our materials aren't exactly what we were going for , I'm just gonna translate what this all means for you .Industrial Designer: I'llbe the Vanna .User Interface: {vocalsound} The base is gonna be gunmetal gray , which is what we had decided , and it's gonna be plastic . Um then there's thelatex cover , which is what you see as red . Um because it can be replaceable , we just kinda went with the colour .Project Manager: Right .User Interface: Umand then the buttons are actually kind of poking through rather than on top . Um and the buttons will be a l much lighter blue , almost see-through .ProjectManager: Hmm .User Interface: It's just sort of a very pale blue and a light-up yellow .Marketing: That's nice .Project Manager: Yeah .User Interface: The wholething lights up if you press any button , rather than it {disfmarker} just that one button will light up .Marketing: Good .User Interface: Um and then at the bottomwe have our logo . Um bright yellow sort of design with the R_R_ {vocalsound} which will actually look like our logo .Project Manager: {vocalsound} Great .UserInterface: And then on the side you have the buttons . {vocalsound} They're one button , but they kind of push up and down .Project Manager: Okay .UserInterface: I don't think they're scrolling .Industrial Designer: No . They're just buttons .User Interface: {vocalsound} Right , yeah . And then {disfmarker} yeah ,the buttons .Industrial Designer: On off switch will be here and as you've noticed on our prototype um they've ended up with a curvature kind of , by concave sortof thing , except for , you know , {gap} can't see underneath .Marketing: Yeah .Industrial Designer: So I'm hoping that when we get to production we canactually make them like that , because they're very nice to stock {gap} you know , stick your finger in . Um the two squared buttons are are two probably leastused , menu , mute ,User Interface: Thumb-shaped .Marketing: Yeah .Industrial Designer: and then these are the numbers , so our channel and our volume willbe on either side .User Interface: Yeah . And then the last thing is just that it'll be black labelling on top , just which we didn't do . {vocalsound}Project Manager:Okay . And did you determine um the curvature of the bottom part of it for the hand , is it gonna be a single or a double ?User Interface: {vocalsound}IndustrialDesigner: I'd say a single .Project Manager: Single . Single sounds good ,User Interface: Single .Project Manager: 'cause it's not big enough to really constitute adouble .Marketing: Yeah .Industrial Designer: Yeah , it's only actually the size of my hand .User Interface: Right .Project Manager: Great . Great . I think you didan awesome job .Marketing: Yeah , I think it's a beautiful {disfmarker}Project Manager: It is beautiful , and it's everything that we discussed .User Interface:{vocalsound}Marketing: Yeah . Good job , you guys .Project Manager: Good job .Industrial Designer: Whoohoo .User Interface: Oh thank you .{vocalsound}Marketing: Those are really good .Project Manager: Alright {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {gap}Project Manager: what's next in our agenda ?Um we're gonna discuss the evaluation criteria , and that's with Courtney .Marketing: Okay , it's a PowerPoint presentation . I don't really know exactly what weshould uh talk about . It's under evaluation .Project Manager: Right .Marketing: Alright . Um so these are the criteria we're gonna ask , is it easy to use , is itfashionable uh {disfmarker} yeah , I guess we should write these down so we can reference them .Project Manager: Mm .User Interface: Feel good meaning what?Marketing: Like does it feel good , like {disfmarker}User Interface: Physically ,Project Manager: Right .User Interface: okay .Marketing: yeah , physically .UserInterface: {gap}Project Manager: Sqi {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound} {vocalsound} That's just for current trend .Project Manager: Right .User Interface:{vocalsound}Marketing: It doesn't really count , you guys .Industrial Designer: Yeah , it was a little difficult to incorporate the cover with the cherry fruit on it.User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: Yeah .

Oh sorry I'm taking over your job here .User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: Oh no , it's fine ,Project Manager: Go right ahead . {vocalsound}Marketing:you're {disfmarker} I mean you're Project Manager .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: Um yeah , I mean and it {disfmarker} does it have voice{disfmarker} I mean the phrase recognition on it ?Project Manager: Yes . Right ? We were able to do it with that kind of chip .User Interface: Oh right , the{disfmarker}Industrial Designer: We could do it with the chip , yes . It wasn't {disfmarker} we have no reflection of it on the prototype ,Marketing: And there'sno way you can represent it on here . YProject Manager: Yeah , right .Industrial Designer: but that's because it's only two dimensions , really .Project Manager:That was {disfmarker} 'kay . And we discussed that being included .User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound} Yeah , so .User Interface: Right.Marketing: Then yes , then I would {disfmarker} well it isn't {disfmarker} what else would it need for it to be technologically innovative ?Industrial Designer: It{disfmarker}Project Manager: Well we don' have the {disfmarker} you know , we can't say channel , and it changes the channel , channel eight .Marketing: Andit doesn't cover anything other then T_V_ ,Project Manager: Right .Marketing: so I'd probably give it a three .Industrial Designer: Yeah .Project Manager: Okay.Marketing: Even though it is {disfmarker} for just a T_V_ remote it's uh very advanced . But it is just a T_V_ remote .Project Manager: Yeah . I'd go for a threeor four on that one , so {disfmarker}User Interface: Yeah I go four .Project Manager: okay , let's go for a three point five .User Interface: {vocalsound}{vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Three and an half .Project Manager: Alright , and the last criteria {disfmarker} is it is it um {disfmarker}User Interface:Squishy and fruity .Marketing: {vocalsound} Well yeah , so I'd give it a two .Project Manager: Well , we've covered that with theUser Interface: It's just trendy ,basically .Project Manager: trendy . Sure . Capable . Very capable .Industrial Designer: It's capable of being squishy and fruity .Marketing: Oh , it's very capableof being squishy and fruity .User Interface: {vocalsound} Okay .Project Manager: And {vocalsound} it's very important . 'Kay , there we go .Marketing: Yeah.Project Manager: So .Marketing: Okay , next .Project Manager: Next . {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound} So um our re model slightly resembling a giantdelicious cookie appears to be a winner ,Project Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: and uh hopefully we'll sell millions . Goodjob , team . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} How did you get that in there ?User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound} {vocalsound}What ?Industrial Designer: The {vocalsound} slightly resembling a giant delicious cookie .Project Manager: {vocalsound} It does .User Interface:{vocalsound}Marketing: It {vocalsound} it does . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} That was good .Project Manager: {vocalsound} Very good.Marketing: Thanks .Project Manager: Alright , let's go back to this {disfmarker} {vocalsound} No , that's it . Hmm . Oops . Okay , so now uh we're moving on tofinance , okay .

OK .Grad A: Hello ?PhD B: Channel one .Grad A: Hello ?PhD C: Test .Professor E: I was saying Hynek 'll be here nextweek , uh , Wednesday through Friday {disfmarker} uh , through Saturday , and , um , I won't be here Thursday and Friday . But my suggestion is that , uh , atleast for this meeting , people should go ahead , uh , cuz Hynek will be here , and , you know , we don't have any Czech accent yet , uh , {vocalsound} as far as Iknow , so {disfmarker} There we go .PhD F: OK .Professor E: Um . So other than reading digits , what 's our agenda ?PhD F: I don't really have , uh , anythingnew . Been working on {pause} Meeting Recorder stuff . So .Professor E: OK . Um . Do you think that would be the case for next week also ? Or is {disfmarker} is, uh {disfmarker} ? What 's your projection on {disfmarker} ?PhD F: Um .Professor E: Cuz the one thing {disfmarker} the one thing that seems to me we reallyshould try , if you hadn't tried it before , because it hadn't occurred to me {disfmarker} it was sort of an obvious thing {disfmarker} is , um , adjusting the , uh ,sca the scaling and , uh , insertion penalty sorta stuff .PhD F: I did play with that , actually , a little bit . Um . What happens is , uh , {vocalsound} when you getto the noisy stuff , you start getting lots of insertions .Professor E: Right .PhD F: And , um , so I 've tried playing around a little bit with , um , the insertionpenalties and things like that .Professor E: Yeah .PhD F: Um . I mean , it {disfmarker} it didn't make a whole lot of difference . Like for the well - matched case ,it seemed like it was pretty good . Um . {vocalsound} I could do more playing with that , though . And , uh {disfmarker}Professor E: But you were looking at melcepstrum .PhD F: and see . Yes .Professor E: Right .PhD F: Oh , you 're talking about for th {vocalsound} for our features .Professor E: Right . So , I mean , i it it's not the direction that you were working with that we were saying what 's the {disfmarker} uh , what 's the best you can do with {disfmarker} with melcepstrum . But , they raised a very valid point ,PhD F: Mmm .Professor E: which , I guess {disfmarker} So , to first order {disfmarker} I mean , you have otherthings you were gonna do , but to first order , I would say that the conclusion is that if you , um , do , uh , some monkeying around with , uh , the exact HTKtraining and @ @ {comment} with , uh , you know , how many states and so forth , that it {disfmarker} it doesn't particularly improve the performance . In otherwords , that even though it sounds pretty dumb , just applying the same number of states to everything , more or less , no matter what language , isn't so bad .Right ? And I guess you hadn't gotten to all the experiments you wanted to do with number of Gaussians ,PhD F: Right .Professor E: but , um , let 's just{disfmarker} If we had to {disfmarker} if we had to draw a conclusion on the information we have so far , we 'd say something like that . Right ?PhD F: Mm -hmm .Professor E: Uh , so the next question to ask , which is I think the one that {disfmarker} that {disfmarker} that Andreas was dre addressing himself to inthe lunch meeting , is , um , we 're not supposed to adjust the back - end , but anybody using the system would .PhD F: Yeah .Professor E: So , if you were justadjusting the back - end , how much better would you do , uh , in noise ? Uh , because the language scaling and insertion penalties and so forth are probably setto be about right for mel cepstrum .PhD F: Mm - hmm .Professor E: But , um , they 're probably not at all set right for these things , particularly these things thatlook over , uh , larger time windows , in one way or another with {disfmarker} with LDA and KLT and neural nets and {vocalsound} all these things . In the fapast we 've always found that we had to increase the insertion penalty to {disfmarker} to correspond to such things . So , I think that 's , uh , @ @ {comment}that 's kind of a first - order thing that {disfmarker} that we should try .PhD F: So for th so the experiment is to , um , run our front - end like normal , with thedefault , uh , insertion penalties and so forth , and then tweak that a little bit and see how much of a difference it makesProfessor E: So by \" our front - end \" Imean take , you know , the Aurora - two s take some version that Stephane has that is , you know , our current best version of something .PhD F: if we were{disfmarker} Mm - hmm .Professor E: Um . I mean , y don't wanna do this over a hundred different things that they 've tried but , you know , for some versionthat you say is a good one . You know ? Um . How {disfmarker} how much , uh , does it improve if you actually adjust that ?PhD F: OK .Professor E: But it isinteresting . You say you {disfmarker} you have for the noisy {disfmarker} How about for the {disfmarker} for the mismatched or {disfmarker} or {disfmarker}or {disfmarker} or the {disfmarker} or the medium mismatched conditions ? Have you {disfmarker} ? When you adjusted those numbers for mel cepstrum , didit {disfmarker} ?PhD F: Uh , I {disfmarker} I don't remember off the top of my head . Um . Yeah . I didn't even write them down . I {disfmarker} I {disfmarker}I don't remember . I would need to {disfmarker} Well , I did write down , um {disfmarker} So , when I was doing {disfmarker} I just wrote down some numbersfor the well - matched case .Professor E: Yeah .PhD F: Um . Looking at the {disfmarker} I wrote down what the deletions , substitutions , and insertions were , uh, for different numbers of states per phone .Professor E: Yeah .PhD F: Um , but , uh , that {disfmarker} that 's all I wrote down .Professor E: OK .PhD F: So . I{disfmarker} I would {disfmarker} Yeah . I would need to do that .Professor E: OK . So {disfmarker}PhD F: I can do that for next week .Professor E: Yeah . And ,um {disfmarker} Yeah . Also , eh , eh , sometimes if you run behind on some of these things , maybe we can get someone else to do it and you can supervise orsomething . But {disfmarker} but I think it would be {disfmarker} it 'd be good to know that .PhD F: OK . I just need to get , um , {vocalsound} front - end , uh ,stuff from youPhD B: Hmm .PhD F: or you point me to some files {pause} that you 've already calculated .PhD B: Yeah . Alright .Professor E: OK . Uh .PhD F: Iprobably will have time to do that and time to play a little bit with the silence model .Professor E: Mm - hmm .PhD F: So maybe I can have that for next weekwhen Hynek 's here .Professor E: Yeah .PhD B: Mm - hmm .Professor E: Yeah . Cuz , I mean , the {disfmarker} the other {disfmarker} That , in fact , might havebeen part of what , uh , the difference was {disfmarker} at least part of it that {disfmarker} that we were seeing . Remember we were seeing the SRI systemwas so much better than the tandem system .PhD F: Hmm .Professor E: Part of it might just be that the SRI system , they {disfmarker} they {disfmarker} theyalways adjust these things to be sort of optimized ,PhD F: Is there {disfmarker} ?Professor E: and {disfmarker}PhD F: I wonder if there 's anything that we coulddo {vocalsound} to the front - end that would affect the insertion {disfmarker}Professor E: Yes . I think you can .PhD F: What could you do ?Professor E: Well ,um {disfmarker} uh , part of what 's going on , um , is the , uh , the range of values . So , if you have something that has a much smaller range or a much largerrange , and taking the appropriate root .PhD F: Oh . Mm - hmm .Professor E: You know ? If something is kind of like the equivalent of a bunch of probabilitiesmultiplied together , you can take a root of some sort . If it 's like seven probabilities together , you can take the seventh root of it or something , or if it 's in thelog domain , divide it by seven .PhD F: Mm - hmm .Professor E: But {disfmarker} but , um , that has a similar effect because it changes the scale of the numbers{disfmarker} of the differences between different candidates from the acoustic modelPhD F: Oh , right .Professor E: as opposed to what 's coming from thelanguage model .PhD F: So that w Right . So , in effect , that 's changing the value of your insertion penalty .Professor E: Yeah . I mean , it 's more directly likethe {disfmarker} the language scaling or the , uh {disfmarker} the model scaling or acoustic scaling ,PhD F: That 's interesting .Professor E: but you know thatthose things have kind of a similar effect to the insertion penaltyPhD F: Mm - hmm .Professor E: anyway . They 're a slightly different way of {disfmarker} ofhandling it .PhD F: Right .Professor E: So , um {disfmarker}PhD F: So if we know what the insertion penalty is , then we can get an idea about what range ournumber should be in ,Professor E: I think so .PhD F: so that they {pause} match with that .Professor E: Yeah . Yeah . So that 's why I think that 's another reasonother than curiosity as to why i it would in fact be kinda neat to find out if we 're way off . I mean , the other thing is , are aren't we seeing {disfmarker} ? Y yPhDF: Mm - hmm .Professor E: I 'm sure you 've already looked at this bu in these noisy cases , are {disfmarker} ? We are seeing lots of insertions . Right ? Theinsertion number is quite high ?PhD B: Yeah .Professor E: I know the VAD takes pre care of part of that ,PhD F: Yeah .PhD B: Yeah .Professor E: but{disfmarker}PhD F: I 've seen that with the mel cepstrum . I don't {disfmarker} I don't know about {pause} the Aurora front - end , but {disfmarker}PhD B: Ithink it 's much more balanced with , uh {disfmarker} when the front - end is more robust . Yeah . I could look at it {disfmarker} at this . Yeah . Mm - hmm.Professor E: Yeah . Wha - what 's a typical number ?PhD B: I don't {disfmarker} I don't know .Professor E: Do we {disfmarker} ? Oh , you {disfmarker} oh , youdon't know .PhD B: I don't have this in {disfmarker}Professor E: OK . I 'm sure it 's more balanced ,PhD B: Mm - hmm .Professor E: but it {disfmarker} it{disfmarker} it wouldn't surprise me if there 's still {disfmarker}PhD B: Mm - hmm .Professor E: I mean , in {disfmarker} in the {disfmarker} the {disfmarker}the old systems we used to do , I {disfmarker} I {disfmarker} uh , I remember numbers kind of like insertions being half the number of deletions , as being{disfmarker} and both numbers being {disfmarker} tend to be on the small side comparing to {disfmarker} to , uh , substitutions .PhD B: Mm - hmm .PhD F:Well , this {disfmarker} the whole problem with insertions was what I think , um , we talked about when the guy from OGI came down {pause} that one time and{disfmarker} and that was when people were saying , well we should have a , uh , uh , voice activity detector {disfmarker}Professor E: Right .PhD F: that ,because all that stuff {comment} that we 're getting thr the silence that 's getting through is causing insertions . So .PhD B: Mmm .Professor E: Right .PhD F: I 'llbet you there 's still a lot {vocalsound} of insertions .PhD B: Mm - hmm .Professor E: Yeah . And it may be less of a critical thing . I mean , the fact that some getby may be less of a critical thing if you , uh , get things in the right range .PhD F: Mm - hmm .Professor E: So , I mean , the insertions is {disfmarker} is asymptom . It 's a symptom that there 's something , uh , wrong with the range .PhD F: Right .Professor E: But there 's {disfmarker} uh , your {disfmarker} your{disfmarker} your substitutions tend to go up as well . So , uh , I {disfmarker} I {disfmarker} I think that ,PhD F: Mm - hmm .Professor E: uh , the most obvious"}

So I think the first things to do is to define the hardware components neededs toachieve uh what we want to do .User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: So uh mm I'm thin uh {vocalsound} I think uh I I'll do a survey about what isuh what is available on the market and what what is the the cheapest possible {vocalsound} things we hav we can use . Then uh I will try with the technical teamto to build a prototype and to see uh with uh h how this little box {vocalsound} would uh look look like .User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Andhow an and we can uh start troubleshooting first uh com communication problems or things like that .User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: And whenwe are ready with this first prototype I I think we can add some software functionalities on a programmable chip like browsing by content or um things like that .Okay so can you go down uh {disfmarker} So , wha what I think {vocalsound} for now {vocalsound} is {vocalsound} we don't want to have a remote control wwhich is wiredUser Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: so uh I think we u we can use a battery for the {gap} .

The one on top .Industrial Designer: The one on top is for the um {disfmarker} well the functionali the functionalitiesUser Interface:{vocalsound}Marketing: One is a communication .Industrial Designer: and the the th red um {disfmarker} sorry the green one is is to {disfmarker} well , puttingthings together , um f transform the data into uh qu into the format to to {gap} uh to communicate with the T_V_ set .User Interface: For men . To the{disfmarker} in {disfmarker} {vocalsound} Okay .Industrial Designer: And , that's it . I think we should use a F_P_G_A_ for {vocalsound} for the functionalitieswhich is easy to to tUser Interface: Mm . What is F_P_G_A_ ?Industrial Designer: It's field programmable uh something array .Marketing: {vocalsound} Gatewayarrays .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Yeah .Marketing: It's a field programmable gateway arrays .User Interface: So why's it {disfmarker} how is it differentfrom the Bluetooth ?Industrial Designer: Well , uh a F_P_G_A_ is just a chip you can uh you can {gap} pr programme it uh wi with wh whatever you want .UserInterface: Yeah . Programme it .Marketing: Yeah {gap} .User Interface: Okay .Industrial Designer: And uh well the Bluetooth chip is just responsible to uh makethe communication uh between uh the two devices .User Interface: Yeah . {vocalsound} Uh {disfmarker} So this are the {disfmarker} they have to worktogether ? Or ? Do they have to work together or two separate choice {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: No . Well , th the F_P_G_A_ will produce the the data tosend .User Interface: Okay .Marketing: Or it's something like {disfmarker} isn't hardware the first one ?

Uh you mean that battery would be somewhere there and the remote contro the power to the battery comes through infrared ?IndustrialDesigner: Uh no no no no , I think uh we have uh to to uh have uh embedded uh b batteries in in the {disfmarker}Project Manager: {gap} .Marketing: Into the{vocalsound}Industrial Designer: yeah into the t .Marketing: more compact and uh {disfmarker} okay , {gap}Industrial Designer: Yeah , yeah .User Interface:{vocalsound}Industrial Designer: And uh I I don't think it will need um {vocalsound} very uh much power to make it run , so {disfmarker}User Interface:{vocalsound} Mm . Mm .Marketing: Yeah , yeah . Okay .User Interface: Mm . You can put it on the charger when uh you when you don't need to use it .IndustrialDesigner: Yeah . It's a good idea .Marketing: Yeah , that's right .User Interface: Yeah .Marketing: Having a charger rather than putting the battery cells always.User Interface: Yeah , yeah .Industrial Designer: Yeah .Marketing: People don't like it to have to buy the batteries when they run out .User Interface: Yeah . Mm. Uh {disfmarker} mm .Marketing: We just make a small chargerUser Interface: Y yeah , yeah .Marketing: and put it {disfmarker}Project Manager: You can iyeah .User Interface: Because you are using because you are using Bluetooth , if some people have P_D_A_ they can use their P_D_A_ to control the T_V_ if theywant to , right ?Industrial Designer: That's a good idea .Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: MaIndustrial Designer: Also , but but {vocalsound} I I I thinkuh the the goal is to sell our remote {vocalsound} control .Project Manager: {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound} I dunno . {vocalsound}Marketing: Bu{vocalsound}Project Manager: Yeah we can change the b {gap} .Marketing: Our remote ,Project Manager: Yeah .Marketing: we do not want to make it P_D_A_ .{vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} S {vocalsound} okay , so charger for {gap} is the {gap} .Project Manager: Um.User Interface: {vocalsound} So is mine .Project Manager: It's mine .

Yeah . {vocalsound} So {disfmarker} So I'm working on the technical functions design . {gap} can you show thenext slide . So the the purpose is to to find uh the important questions to ask is what effect should the apparatus have . So {vocalsound} so I found on a webs onthe internetProject Manager: {vocalsound} During the weekend .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound} {disfmarker} yeah .{vocalsound} I spent a lot of time searching {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: That's good . {vocalsound}User Interface: and uhand I found that uh the function of remote control is to send messages to television set .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} {vocalsound} {vocalsound}ProjectManager: Mm-hmm .User Interface: {vocalsound} For example switch on , switch off , switch the next channel and so on and so on .Marketing: GUser Interface:So I found two very good prototypes for {vocalsound} for this interface from our competitorsIndustrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface: so can you{vocalsound} {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: This are usual functionality {gap} .User Interface: Yeah , yeah , yeah . Ours is abit uh different . So these are two example . One is from {vocalsound} {gap} the other one is from , yeah , uh engineering centr yeah .Project Manager: Tasks.Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface: This is the most competing prototypes I've found {vocalsound} .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}UserInterface: But then uh loo but then I found if you look at {disfmarker} you see on the left one there are too many buttons {disfmarker}Industrial Designer:{vocalsound}Project Manager: And they are small {gap} .User Interface: Yeah . O on the right I tried to play with {vocalsound} the problem is that uh if I havehundred channels I have uh I have to choo press the other button to choose the hundred channels and I have to compose the numberIndustrial Designer:{vocalsound} Yeah .User Interface: so it's very lousy .Project Manager: Mm-hmm .User Interface: {vocalsound} So you {vocalsound} so you move to the nextthe next one .Industrial Designer: Of course .User Interface: Yeah , so I talk about the problem . And then I I look at the user manual they are a hundred pagesthick , so we don't want that .Project Manager: Yeah .User Interface: {vocalsound} So I propose the easy to use uh prototype . You can navigate on T_V_ screenand we can {gap} the user's preference and we need to have the T_V_ connected to internet so we end {disfmarker} in order to access the T_V_ programmes byX_M_L_ and we need some {disfmarker} to do some preprocessing . From the technical aspect , the processing should be done on the T_V_ set than on the{vocalsound} on the remote controller , right ?Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound} And then we {disfmarker} the speech recognition"}

Great . Well , welcome to the third meeting of conceptual design . I'll just get the PowerPoint presentation up and running . Okay . Um , on the agenda for this ,um , for this particular meeting , we'll have your three presentations on what you've done since our last meeting , after we came up with um some general ideasof our design . And , um , then we have to make some key decisions on , on our remote control concept , and how we're gonna make it , what uh materials we'regonna use , and that sort of thing .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: The meeting will be forty minutes long .Industrial Designer: Okay .ProjectManager: And um we will once again have Poppy as our first presenter .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Okay .Project Manager: Alright , and I will switch upPowerPoint .Industrial Designer: Thank you .Project Manager: Okay .Industrial Designer: Should be just loading . {vocalsound} Okay . Oh , although I can't see iton my screen . That says go here . Okay . I've been doing some research into the different components that we could use , um what's available to us f to actuallymake the remote control . Um , first of all we have to look at how the remote control is actually made , and what is it happens inside the casing , which is moreyour field . Um , thes main internal feature is a circuit board , which contains all the elec electronics and also the contacts with the power source .Marketing:{vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Which is not necessarily a battery , as we're about to see . Um , there are several components of , um , the circuit board thatwe need to consider , where we'll be getting them from , what they'll be made of . Um , including the integrated circuit , which is also known as the chip . Which iswhere all the main information is uh contained . Um , diodes , transistors , resonators , resistors , and capacit capacitors all need to be considered as well . Um ,and all their positioning in the circuit .Project Manager: Um {disfmarker} Are they all included , like mandatorily , or r are these different options ?IndustrialDesigner: Uh , these , they're all different options , they're all separate , apart from the chip , which we will probable decide whether we buy a simple , a regular ,advanced .Project Manager: Yeah .Industrial Designer: We can go into that later . Um , all the other things are individual components that we'd have to get inseparately , and work out the most , like , effective um circuit , including all the wires and everything like that . And the L_E_D_ of course , that's a light emittingdiode . So , we could , so we've got flex flexibility with colours and things , with that as well .Project Manager: Mm .Industrial Designer: Okay , there are lots ofdifferent possibilities for the energy source . We could use a basic battery , but that brings with it , like they need to be recharged and the bulk , the size of it aswell . And they're not so great to dispose of , environmentally . {vocalsound} There's a hand-powered dynamo which is a sort of thing that was used for torchesfifty years ago . A bit out of date . Kinetic energy is something that's been recently developed .Project Manager: Um {disfmarker} What is a hand-powereddynamo ?Industrial Designer: Um , where you manually charge up the power .Project Manager: Just every , every once in a while ?Industrial Designer: Like youwind up something .Project Manager: Just every once in a while or constantly ?Industrial Designer: Sorry ? Yeah . Every once in a while I thinkProject Manager:Alright . It'd be kind of strange to always be cranking it I think .Industrial Designer: . But it's {disfmarker} Yeah . It would be like going a step back in time .UserInterface: {vocalsound} Yeah .Industrial Designer: I don't think it would really be with kind of cutting edge technology .Project Manager: No .{vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Whereas kinetic energy is a new idea that's being used by some watches and other devices , whereyou just shake the device and it gives it power . I mean , the kinetic energy is transformed into power to make the circuit work . Um , or there's solar power ,which we've been considering inside a building , which is where it's gonna be used , might not be quite so useful .Project Manager: Right .Industrial Designer: But, good to look into , renewable energy , always the way . Um , lots of considerations for the case , like what sort of shape it would be , curved or flat . That's got alot to do with the ergonomics . Like how it's comfortable and s sits in the hand . We don't want something that's huge and you can't pick up . Or too small . Or tooslidy . I know I've had a remote control before which you couldn't tell which was the front and the back ,User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: 'causeit had so many buttons on , and the shape was so symmetrical that I'd be pressing like a volume button instead of the on button .Marketing: Mm .IndustrialDesigner: Because you can't really see which way round it is .Project Manager: Right .Industrial Designer: Um , we also can choose what materials {disfmarker}um , the {disfmarker} we could use metal , we could use rubber which might be more um ideal for the anti-R_S_I_ . It's like the same sort of rubber that's usedin stress balls and things like that , so it's very like soft , not so stressful on your hands .Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Wood.Project Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Um , again , stepping back in time again there .User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: I don'tthink that's quite up to date with what we're looking for here .Project Manager: Yeah .Industrial Designer: Um , titanium is not gonna be possible , even though itjust it beyond our budget really . But , would've been maybe for future projects . Um right our choice for buttons as well . We've developed some {disfmarker}we've got some good advances in technology , with our research team have found some uh new multiple um option scroll buttons . I think that was brought upfor , um , {disfmarker} they're basically quite a flexible design , modern , you don't have to use individual buttons . You can just slide up and down . I'm surewe're all quite familiar with those on mobiles or computer laptop pads .Project Manager: Mm-hmm .User Interface: Yeah .Project Manager: Um one thing with thescroll buttons though . It , it {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: we would have to have an L_C_D_ umIndustrial Designer: Yeah .That's true .Project Manager: display , and the glow in the dark thing might be difficult .Industrial Designer: And that would lead to an advanced {disfmarker}yeah . If we have {disfmarker} yeah . We're going on to that later with the advanc with the L_C_D_ that means we'd need a really advanced chip .ProjectManager: Yeah .Industrial Designer: And it's unlikely that that's gonna be in our budget .Marketing: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: Um , also we've got theintegrated pushbutton , which is what we're most familiar with . It's the most straightforward . But you can in like incorporate that with a scroll button as well .{gap} . Got decisions to make there . And this is what I was just saying before . Linked in the different {disfmarker} depends on what type of buttons we haveand the inputs . Um simple would go with the pushbutton . Um , regular you could link with the scroll button . And the advanced we'd have to go with a L_C_D_ sdisplay .Project Manager: Right .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} My personal preferences ? I think we could go for the kinetic energy source . I don't , I thinkthat's quite um an advanced kind of technology . It's not been seen before , so it could be quite a , a novelty factor , attractive as well . And also energy saving'cause you're producing the energy , you don't need an external sort of battery supply or solar panels . You just give it a shake .Project Manager: Yeah .IndustrialDesigner: {vocalsound} Sounds brilliant to me .Project Manager: Uh .Industrial Designer: Rubber casing I thing would probably the best , if we're going for theanti-R_S_I_ and like more choice with um aesthetics . Like it could be pretty much any colour we want . Um , and gives you , yeah , more flexibility there . Andprobably the regular chip as opposed to the simple ,Marketing: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: then we could possibly have the scroll and the push , but noL_C_D_ , 'cause we probably can't afford that one .Project Manager: Yeah . Um , one concern with the rubber casing is that it would be rubber encapsulating all ofthese {vocalsound} chips and diodes and delicate technology asIndustrial Designer: Mm-hmm .Project Manager: like as the exterior . This is the one thing that'sprotecting its innards .Industrial Designer: I think that would , uh there would be an in sort of more internal casing . And the rubber would just be the , what's incontact with the human .Project Manager: Yeah . Another thing is it might be more difficult {disfmarker} if it's a rubber exterior {gap} talking about putting oninterchangeable plates .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Yeah .Project Manager: Um , is it {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Yeah .Marketing: Mm-hmm .ProjectManager: I don't see how a like a rubber plate going on top it would stay there . Like if it was sort of like a clip-on plastic plate . It would work that way .IndustrialDesigner: Maybe if the , um , if it was just kind of a , more of a rubber coating which was on to a case .User Interface: WIndustrial Designer: So , it was kind of ,the whole thing would be removable .User Interface: Like plastic with rubber , kind of on topIndustrial Designer: Yeah .Project Manager: Yeah .IndustrialDesigner: Like {disfmarker} I can't think of what .User Interface: Well , there's , there is a certain phone that has like a rubber casing ,Project Manager: Yeah.Industrial Designer: Yeah . Or like an {disfmarker}User Interface: b like a Nokia it is .Marketing: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: you can get sort of outer casingfor iPods and something , that's just {disfmarker} it's protective as well .User Interface: It's {disfmarker} yeah .Project Manager: Yeah .Marketing: Like the skin?Industrial Designer: It , it stops it , I mean ,Marketing: Yeah .Industrial Designer: it would reduce the impact if it was dropped or something , as well , 'cause itwouldn't damage itself so easily .Project Manager: Yeah .User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Alright . So maybe the {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Ithink i maybe a mixture of both there , maybe .Marketing: Okay .Project Manager: Yeah .Industrial Designer: Yeah .Marketing: So the actual remote would behard plastic and the casings rubber .Industrial Designer: And then {disfmarker} yeah . Yeah .User Interface: Yeah .Marketing: Okay .Project Manager: Yeah.Marketing: And the buttons obviously are rubber .Industrial Designer: Yeah .User Interface: Yeah .Marketing: Okay .Project Manager: Yeah .Marketing:{vocalsound}Project Manager: That sounds good . I , um , is it possible to put designs onto this type of rubber ?Industrial Designer: As far as I know . It shouldbe .Project Manager: Okay ,Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: we'll just say yeah . {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Yes , justwhy not .Industrial Designer: Yeah . Yeah , yeah . {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound} Alright . I like the kinetic energy source idea .Industrial Designer:"}

Um it's now quarter after twelve and we'regiven forty minutes um for this meeting . This is a meeting on functional design . Um and I wanna welcome you all and thank you all for doing some research inbetween . Um I did {disfmarker} took the minutes from the first meeting and I'll show them to you in a moment . Um I know each of you have a presentation andum in thinking about the forty minutes , I thought it would take only like three minutes for the previous minutes , um each of you having about seven minutes ormaybe a little more , maybe a little less for your pre presentations and a little discussion , because there's {disfmarker} I happen to have been told there weresome new project requirements and we have to make some uh decision on what functions it will have . Okay ? Is this ap everybody agree with this ?IndustrialDesigner: Oops .User Interface: Yes .Marketing: Yes .Project Manager: Okay . Um and after the meeting there'll be things to be done and as you can see it sayswe get to get lunch , um and then some more individual work and then putting minutes away and individual actions . {vocalsound} Um but uh now for theminutes of the first meeting . And go to that one . Um as you can see it was this earlier today . Um Kate , Steph , Sarah and myself in our four capacities werepresent . I opened the meeting , the product was developed uh and reviewed , and we talked about the financial end of it . Um and it had some implications , umthe four million sales target and new ideas of not too many buttons , bright colours and some of the influence of the Japanese . And we closed early so you couldthen proceed with your research and getting your reports together for tod this meeting {vocalsound} Anybody have any questions on those minutes ? Are theycomplete , did they discuss everything that we covered last time ? 'Kay .Industrial Designer: Uh I think so ,Project Manager: Did I miss something ?IndustrialDesigner: we we we talked about the the individual roles that we each had as well .Marketing: Mm-hmm .Project Manager: Yeah . I'm afraid I incorporated{vocalsound} that when I said who was present , but {disfmarker} yes , we did ,Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Okay .Project Manager: and we did a little bitof uh team building of uh of making the pictures ,Marketing: {vocalsound} Okay , I accept the minutes .Project Manager: but I didn't think those wereappropriate to the minutes necessarily . So um as a group I think we've {disfmarker} are {disfmarker} they're accepting the minutes . And uh {disfmarker} okay.Marketing: Is that what we're supposed to say ?Project Manager: Yeah .User Interface: Yeah , I do .Project Manager: Good . Um , then we'll move to the threepresentations . Okay ?Marketing: Okay .Project Manager: Okay . Mm we need to move this . Who wants to go f first ? {vocalsound} That's as far as it goes .UserInterface: Uh not really meant to touch those microphones . Oh it doesn't have any on , does it ? That's fine .Marketing: Excellent , thank you .IndustrialDesigner: Oy , big loop under the table .Project Manager: She said we didn't need to screw it in .Marketing: Okay . Okay , that looks good .Project Manager: It'sdoing its thing . There we are .Marketing: Alright . Thank you very much . Um . One of the the biggest issues I found about um from last meeting was the factthat we need to sell four million of these um remote controls and I think that this is an opportunity to really take Real Reaction in the direction of of similar{disfmarker} of handheld tools that have been used and are used by many of us and to kind of bring the remote control into the si same realm as an accessibleum useful electronic device , as opposed to something that is lost in the couch and what have you . So um my main goal here is to re-envision the remote controlin in this context and to think about menu functionality and current technology and the fact that it could be interactive with other tools . Um some of the researchuh in the market has shown that people really are not happy with remote controls as they are now , and um that means we do need to make some decisionsabout what what keys or or buttons on the on the remote control to perhaps keep and and what ones to discard . And if we devote some energy into this , I thinkthe um recent productions of Real Reaction , the I go everywhere power and the high definition D_V_D_ players {disfmarker} although it makes immediate senseto {vocalsound} have our remote control interact with these , I think we can also use this as a platform to make it interact with other tools . And um in fact Ithink the high definition D_V_D_ players and all of this will come along in the uh {disfmarker} will only benefit from the positive feedback {vocalsound} from ourwell designed tool . So again , most uh users really dislike the current look and feel of remote controls . Um {vocalsound} fifty percent {disfmarker} I think of allthese uh numbers the most important is fifty percent of user say they only use ten percent of the buttons . And eighty percent of users , and if we think about this{vocalsound} there are a lot of uh television , D_V_D_ , stereo remote control users out there , eighty percent would spend more money on a remote control thatlooks fancy .Industrial Designer: Could {disfmarker} can I ask where these figures come from , is this market research we've {disfmarker}Marketing: Um it wasmarket research and there were a hundred people in the room , so eighty out of a hundred said they would spend more money .Project Manager: Now in between, as the Project Manager , they sent me an email from the powers that beIndustrial Designer: Mm-hmm .Project Manager: um that teletext is outdatedumMarketing: Mm-hmm .Project Manager: and the internet is coming in as important , but that they want this remote control to only be for T_V_ um withincorporating the corporate image , colour and slogan .Marketing: Mm-hmm . {vocalsound} Well I think we can {disfmarker} I I think we can really focus on thisremote and and again bring the Real Reaction um brand in in and and get some positive marketing for our other tools , even if we directly don't um advertise{vocalsound} for the I go everywhere line .Project Manager: Mm .Marketing: So an interesting um element was the would you pay more for speech recognitionquestion . So these market research uh uh questionnaires {vocalsound} looked into your your uh concern about technologyProject Manager: Hmm .IndustrialDesigner: {vocalsound}Marketing: and s specifically wanted to find out information about speech recognition .Project Manager: Okay .Marketing: Now the earlyadopters , those of us who grew up with technology and uh luck lucky for us have the uh cash to to pay for it , the young age group without the mortgages andresponsibilities , ninety one percent of them {vocalsound} would pay more for speech recognition in a remote control . Very interesting , I I leave this up to thegroup to decide if we wanna use this uh if {disfmarker} and you know , the the designers ,Project Manager: Mm .Marketing: but ninety one percent , fifteen totwenty five {disfmarker}Project Manager: Is that a large enough target market to target it ?Marketing: Well , I I I think {disfmarker} especially in terms ofgrowth , I think this would be a very smart group to target . I mean s three quarters of the next age group , twenty five to thirty five are interested , and uh withthe technologies improving , if we can get these uh {disfmarker}Project Manager: In real numbers , does the ninety one percent and the seventy six percenttranslate to ex in excess of the four million ?Marketing: {vocalsound} Yeah . To {disfmarker} {vocalsound} Um yes .Project Manager: Or eight million.Marketing: Yes . But would you pay more and does it work and is it approachable and and did I know that it was it was an {disfmarker}Project Manager: Hmm.Marketing: that's a that's a very good question .Project Manager: {vocalsound} Yeah .Industrial Designer: Um {disfmarker}Marketing: I don't know if speechrecognition should be um should be included ,Project Manager: Mm .Marketing: but I think it's an interesting {disfmarker} I think that maybe shows more aboutuh being open to technology .Project Manager: Mm .User Interface: Uh it definitely needs uh a lot more researchMarketing: Shall I go back ?User Interface: onlike how much more it would be and any , you know , existing examples ,Marketing: Yeah , yeah .User Interface: and what reactions to them have been , andthat sort of thing .Marketing: Yeah .Industrial Designer: How d I'm wondering how how ou how our target price compares with the the typical price of thesethings . I expect an Industrial Designer should know that , but if we're aiming to to build this thing for twelve Euros fifty , um is that a lot or a little ?Marketing:Exactly . I mean I I I uh did not receive any information on that , but I think the competition , sussing out what other people are doing and what's in the pipelineis very very important , because um there is a question about do you want an L_C_D_ screen and and that wasn't responded to , but uh some of the largerremotes do have screens where you can navigate , you know , so it turns into something {disfmarker} uh perhaps you all have seen uh the Osbournes whereOzzy Osbourne is is attempting to manage his super entertainment system with something that looks like a uh a small tray .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Shsurely he's in the wrong age group .Marketing: You know ,Project Manager: {vocalsound} {vocalsound}Marketing: it's {disfmarker} I a and I think , you know{disfmarker}Industrial Designer: He must be w one of a s small population . {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound} No , no ,Project Manager: Mm .Marketing:you {disfmarker} Kate , you're exactly right there . {vocalsound} But I think the key is to get the early adopters , people who are familiar with technology andand uh they'll be {disfmarker}Project Manager: But we're not looking at whether they're early adopters on that screen ,Marketing: Uh , mm .Project Manager:that's looking at age groups .Marketing: Exactly . I {vocalsound} yes , and I'm making and I'm making the the uh uh leap that people who are familiar{disfmarker} younger people are l are more familiar with technology than than older people . Or comfortable ,Project Manager: Leap . {vocalsound} Hmm . Mm.Marketing: you know , um so {disfmarker}Project Manager: Okay , you had the other power channel .Marketing: I think the most important thing is an attractivestreamlined remote control and to be extraordinarily reductionist , power , channel , volume and everything else is is uh up to the designers . {vocalsound} Andthis is this is also supported by the market research .Project Manager: Okay .Marketing: {vocalsound} Thank you . That's my contribution .Project Manager:Alright . And we'll turn to the next presentation . I think she said we don't need to screw it in , just stick it in . And then press , what ? F F_N_ and F_ eight . Nextto the control button on the bottom , and then F_ eight at the top .User Interface: Yeah , press them .Project Manager: And then w be patient . {vocalsound}UserInterface: Yeah , here we go .Project Manager: Tada .Industrial Designer: And if you want it to go into slide show mode , it's that little button there .User"}
+{"doc_id":"doc_98","qid":"","text":"Postdoc B: Alright .Professor C: So , uh {disfmarker}Grad F: Um , so I wanted to discuss digits briefly , but that won't take too long .Professor C: Oh good . Right. OK , agenda items , Uh , we have digits , What else we got ?PhD A: New version of the presegmentation .Professor C: New version of presegmentation .PostdocB: Um , do we wanna say something about the , an update of the , uh , transcript ?PhD G: Yeah , why don't you summarize the {disfmarker}Professor C: Updateon transcripts .PhD G: And I guess that includes some {disfmarker} the filtering for the , the ASI refs , too .Postdoc B: Mmm .Professor C: Filtering for what ?PhDG: For the references that we need to go from the {disfmarker} the {pause} fancy transcripts to the sort of {nonvocalsound} brain - dead .Postdoc B: It 'll{disfmarker} it 'll be {disfmarker} basically it 'll be a re - cap of a meeting that we had jointly this morning .Professor C: Uh - huh .PhD G: With Don , as well.Postdoc B: Mm - hmm .Professor C: Got it . Anything else more pressing than those things ? So {disfmarker} So , why don't we just do those . You said yourswas brief , so {disfmarker}Grad F: OK . OK well , the , w uh as you can see from the numbers on the digits we 're almost done . The digits goes up to {pause}about four thousand . Um , and so , uh , we probably will be done with the TI - digits in , um , another couple weeks . um , depending on how many we read eachtime . So there were a bunch that we skipped . You know , someone fills out the form and then they 're not at the meeting and so it 's blank . Um , but those arealmost all filled in as well . And so , once we 're {disfmarker} it 's done it would be very nice to train up a recognizer and actually start working with this data .PhDD: So we 'll have a corpus that 's the size of TI - digits ?Grad F: And so {disfmarker} One particular test set of TI - digits .PhD D: Test set , OK .Grad F: So , I{disfmarker} I extracted , Ther - there was a file sitting around which people have used here as a test set . It had been randomized and so onPhD D: Grad F: andthat 's just what I used to generate the order . of these particular ones .PhD D: Oh ! Great . Great .Professor C: So , I 'm impressed by what we could do , Is takethe standard training set for TI - digits , train up with whatever , you know , great features we think we have , uh for instance , and then test on uh this test set.Grad F: Um {disfmarker}Professor C: And presumably uh it should do reasonably well on that , and then , presumably , we should go to the distant mike , and itshould do poorly .PhD D: Yeah .Professor C: And then we should get really smart over the next year or two , and it {disfmarker} that should get better .Grad F:Right . And inc increase it by one or two percent , yeah .Professor C: Yeah , {vocalsound} Yeah .Grad F: Um , but , in order to do that we need to extract out theactual digits .Professor C: Right .Grad F: Um , so that {disfmarker} the reason it 's not just a transcript is that there 're false starts , and misreads , and miscuesand things like that . And so I have a set of scripts and X Waves where you just select the portion , hit R , um , it tells you what the next one should be , and youjust look for that . You know , so it {disfmarker} it 'll put on the screen , \" The next set is six nine , nine two two \" . And you find that , and , hit the key and itrecords it in a file in a particular format .Professor C: So is this {disfmarker}Grad F: And so the {disfmarker} the question is , should we have the transcribers dothat or should we just do it ? Well , some of us . I 've been do I 've done , eight meetings , something like that , just by hand . Just myself , rather . So it will nottake long . Um {disfmarker}Professor C: Uh , what {disfmarker} what do you think ?Postdoc B: My feeling is that we discussed this right before coffee and I thinkit 's a {disfmarker} it 's a fine idea partly because , um , it 's not un unrelated to their present skill set , but it will add , for them , an extra dimension , it might bean interesting break for them . And also it is contributing to the , uh , c composition of the transcript cuz we can incorporate those numbers directly and it 'll be amore complete transcript . So I 'm {disfmarker} I think it 's fine , that part .Grad F: There is {disfmarker} there is {disfmarker}Professor C: So you think it 's fineto have the transcribers do it ?Postdoc B: Mm - hmm .Professor C: Yeah , OK .Grad F: There 's one other small bit , which is just entering the information which ats which is at the top of this form , onto the computer , to go along with the {disfmarker} where the digits are recorded automatically .PhD D: Good .Professor C:Yeah .Grad F: And so it 's just , you know , typing in name , times {disfmarker} time , date , and so on . Um , which again either they can do , but it is , you know, firing up an editor , or , again , I can do . Or someone else can do .Postdoc B: And , that , you know , I 'm not , that {disfmarker} that one I 'm not so sure if it's into the {disfmarker} the , things that , I , wanted to use the hours for , because the , the time that they 'd be spending doing that they wouldn't be able to beputting more words on .Professor C: Mmm .Postdoc B: But that 's really your choice , it 's your {disfmarker}PhD D: So are these two separate tasks that canhappen ? Or do they have to happen at the same time before {disfmarker}Grad F: No they don't have {disfmarker} this {disfmarker} you have to enter the databefore , you do the second task , but they don't have to happen at the same time .PhD D: OK .Grad F: So it 's {disfmarker} it 's just I have a file whi which hasthis information on it , and then when you start using my scripts , for extracting the times , it adds the times at the bottom of the file . And so , um , I mean , it 'seasy to create the files and leave them blank , and so actually we could do it in either order .PhD D: Oh , OK .Grad F: Um , it 's {disfmarker} it 's sort of nice tohave the same person do it just as a double - check , to make sure you 're entering for the right person . But , either way .Professor C: Yeah . Yeah just by way ofuh , uh , a uh , order of magnitude , uh , um , we 've been working with this Aurora , uh data set . And , uh , the best score , on the , nicest part of the data , thatis , where you 've got training and test set that are basically the same kinds of noise and so forth , uh , is about , uh {disfmarker} I think the best score wassomething like five percent , uh , error , per digit .PhD A: Per digit .Professor C: So , that {disfmarker}Grad F: Per digit .Professor C: You 're right . So if you weredoing {pause} ten digit , uh , recognition , {vocalsound} you would really be in trouble . So {disfmarker} So the {disfmarker} The point there , and this is uh carnoise uh , uh things , but {disfmarker} but real {disfmarker} real situation ,PhD D: Mm - hmm .Professor C: well , \" real \" , Um , the {disfmarker} uh there 's onemicrophone that 's close , that they have as {disfmarker} as this sort of thing , close versus distant . Uh but in a car , instead of {disfmarker} instead of having aprojector noise it 's {disfmarker} it 's car noise . Uh but it wasn't artificially added to get some {disfmarker} some artificial signal - to - noise ratio . It was justpeople driving around in a car . So , that 's {disfmarker} that 's an indication , uh that was with , many sites competing , and this was the very best score and soforth , so . More typical numbers likePhD D: Although the models weren't , that good , right ? I mean , the models are pretty crappy ?Professor C: You 're right . Ithink that we could have done better on the models , but the thing is that we got {disfmarker} this {disfmarker} this is the kind of typical number , for all of the ,uh , uh , things in this task , all of the , um , languages . And so I {disfmarker} I think we 'd probably {disfmarker} the models would be better in some than inothers . Um , so , uh . Anyway , just an indication once you get into this kind of realm even if you 're looking at connected digits it can be pretty hard .PhD D:Hmm .Postdoc B: Hmm . It 's gonna be fun to see how we , compare at this . Very exciting . s @ @ .Professor C: Yeah .PhD D: How did we do on the TI - digits?Grad F: Well the prosodics are so much different s it 's gonna be , strange . I mean the prosodics are not the same as TI - digits , for example .Professor C: Yeah.Grad F: So I 'm {disfmarker} I 'm not sure how much of effect that will have .PhD D: H how do {disfmarker}PhD G: What do you mean , the prosodics ?Grad F:Um , just what we were talking about with grouping . That with these , the grouping , there 's no grouping at all , and so it 's just {disfmarker} the only sort ofdiscontinuity you have is at the beginning and the end .PhD G: So what are they doing in Aurora , are they reading actual phone numbers ,Grad F: Aurora I don'tknow . I don't know what they do in Aurora .PhD G: or , a {disfmarker} a digit at a time , or {disfmarker} ?Professor C: Uh , I 'm not sure how {disfmarker}PhDG: Cuz it 's {disfmarker}Professor C: no , no I mean it 's connected {disfmarker} it 's connected , uh , digits ,PhD G: Connected .Professor C: yeah . But .Grad F:But {disfmarker} Right .PhD G: So there 's also the {disfmarker} not just the prosody but the cross {disfmarker} the cross - word modeling is probably quitedifferent .PhD D: H HowGrad F: But in TI - digits , they 're reading things like zip codes and phone numbers and things like that ,PhD G: Right .PhD D: do we doon TI - digits ?Grad F: so it 's gonna be different . I don't remember . I mean , very good , right ?Professor C: Yeah , I mean we were in the .Grad F: One and ahalf percent , two percent , something like that ?Professor C: Uh , I th no I think we got under a percent , but it was {disfmarker} but it 's {disfmarker} but Imean . The very best system that I saw in the literature was a point two five percent or something that somebody had at {disfmarker} at Bell Labs , or . Uh , but. But , uh , sort of pulling out all the stops .Grad F: Oh really ?Postdoc B: s @ @ . It s strikes me that there are more {disfmarker} each of them is moreinformative because it 's so , random ,Grad F: OK . Alright .PhD D: Hmm .Professor C: But I think a lot of systems sort of get half a percent , or three - quarters apercent ,Grad F: Right .Professor C: and we 're {disfmarker} we 're in there somewhere .Grad F: But that {disfmarker} I mean it 's really {disfmarker} it 's{disfmarker} it 's close - talking mikes , no noise , clean signal , just digits , I mean , every everything is good .Professor C: Yeah .PhD G: It 's the beginning oftime in speech recognition .Grad F: Yes , exactly .Professor C: Yeah .Grad F: And we 've only recently got it to anywhere near human .PhD G: It 's like the , singlecell , you know , it 's the beginning of life ,PhD D: Pre - prehistory .PhD G: yeah .Grad F: And it 's still like an order of magnitude worse than what humans do.PhD G: Right .Professor C: Yeah .Grad F: So .Professor C: When {disfmarker} When they 're wide awake , yeah . Um ,Grad F: Yeah . After coffee .Professor C:after coffee , you 're right . Not after lunch .Grad F: OK , so , um , what I 'll do then is I 'll go ahead and enter , this data . And then , hand off to Jane , and thetranscribers to do the actual extraction of the digits .Professor C: Yeah . Yeah . One question I have that {disfmarker} that I mean , we wouldn't know the answerto now but might , do some guessing , but I was talking before about doing some model modeling of arti uh , uh , marking of articulatory , features , with overlapand so on .Grad F: Hmm .Professor C: And , and , um , On some subset . One thought might be to do this uh , on {disfmarker} on the digits , or some piece of"}

Hmm .Professor F:Will you get the door , and {disfmarker} ? Grad D: OK , so um .Professor F: OK . You collected an agenda , huh ?Grad D: I did collect an agenda . So I 'm gonnago first . Mwa - ha - ha ! It shouldn't take too long .Postdoc E: Yeah .Grad D: Um , so we 're pretty much out of digits . We 've gone once through the set . Um ,so the only thing I have to doProfessor F: No there 's only ten .Grad D: Yeah , that 's right . so I {disfmarker} I just have to go through themProfessor F: Well ,OK .Grad D: and uh pick out the ones that have problems , and either correct them or have them re - read . So we probably have like four or five more forms tobe read , to be once through the set . I 've also extracted out about an hour 's worth . We have about two hours worth . I extracted out about an hour 's worthwhich are the f digits with {disfmarker} for which whose speaker have speaker forms , have filled out speaker forms . Not everyone 's filled out a speaker form .So I extracted one for speakers who have speaker forms and for meetings in which the \" key \" file and the transcript files are parsable . Some of the early keyfiles , it looks like , were done by hand , and so they 're not automatically parsable and I have to go back and fix those . So what that means is we have about anhour of transcribed digits that we can play with . Um , Liz {disfmarker}Professor F: So you think two {disfmarker} you think two hours is the {disfmarker} is thetotal that we have ?Grad D: Yep , yeah .Professor F: And you think we th uh , I {disfmarker} I didn't quite catch all these different things that are not quite right ,but you think we 'll be able to retrieve the other hour , reasonably ?Grad D: Yes , absolutely .Professor F: OK .Grad D: So it 's just a question of a little hand -editing of some files and then waiting for more people to turn in their speaker forms . I have this web - based speaker form , and I sent mail to everyone whohadn't filled out a speaker form , and they 're slowly s trickling in .Professor F: So the relevance of the speaker form here , sGrad D: It 's for labeling the extractedaudio files .Professor F: Oh , OK .Grad D: By speaker ID and microphone type .Professor F: Wasn't like whether they were giving us permission to use their digitsor something .Grad D: No , I spoke with Jane about that and we sort of decided that it 's probably not an issue that {disfmarker} We edit out any of the errorsanyway . Right ? So the there are no errors in the digits ,Professor F: Yeah .Grad D: you 'll always read the string correctly . So I can't imagine why anyone wouldcare . So the other topic with digits is uh , Liz would like to elicit different prosodics , and so we tried last week with them written out in English . And it just didn'twork at all because no one grouped them together . So it just sounded like many many more lines instead of anything else . So in conversations with Liz and uhJane we decided that if you wrote them out as numbers instead of words it would elicit more phone number , social security number - like readings . The problemwith that is it becomes numbers instead of digits . When I look at this , that first line is \" sixty one , sixty two , eighteen , eighty six , ten . \" Um , and so thequestion is does anyone care ? Um , I 've already spoken with Liz and she feels that , correct me if I 'm wrong , that for her , connected numbers is fine ,PostdocE: Mm - hmm .Grad D: as opposed to connected digits . Um , I think two hours is probably fine for a test set , but it may be a little short if we actually wanna dotraining and adaptation and all that other stuff .Professor F: Yeah Um , do um you want different prosodics , so if you always had the same groupings youwouldn't like that ? Is that correct ?PhD G: Well , we actually figured out a way to {disfmarker}Grad D: Yeah , the {disfmarker} the {disfmarker}PhD G: the{disfmarker} the groupings are randomly generated .Professor F: No but , I was asking if that was something you really cared about because if it wasn't , itseems to me if you made it really specifically telephone groupings that maybe people wouldn't , uh , go and do numbers so much . You know if it if it 's{disfmarker}PhD A: Uh {disfmarker}PhD G: I think they may still do it , um ,Professor F: Maybe some , but I probably not so much .PhD B: What about putting ahyphen between the numbers in the group ?PhD G: And {disfmarker}Professor F: Right ? So if you {disfmarker} if {disfmarker} if you have uhGrad D: Six dashone , you mean ?Professor F: if you go six six six uh dash uh two nine three one .PhD G: I {disfmarker} well OK {disfmarker} I {disfmarker} it might help , Iwould like to g get away from having only one specific grouping .Professor F: That 's what I was asking , yeah .PhD G: Um , so if that 's your question ,ProfessorF: Yeah .PhD G: but I mean it seems to me that , at least for us , we can learn to read them as digitsPostdoc E: Yeah .PhD G: if that 's what people want . I{disfmarker} I 'mPostdoc E: Yeah .PhD G: don't think that 'd be that hard to read them as single digits .Postdoc E: I agree .PhD G: Um , and it seems like thatmight be better for you guys since then you 'll have just more digit data ,Grad D: Right .PhD G: and that 's always a good thing .Grad D: Yep .PhD G: It 's a littlebit better for me too because the digits are easier to recognize . They 're better trained than the numbers .Grad D: So we could just , uh , put in the instructions \"read them as digits \" .Professor F: Right .PhD G: Right . Right , read them as single digits , so sixty - one w is read as six one ,Postdoc E: Mm - hmm .PhD G: andif people make a mistake we {disfmarker}Grad D: How about \" O \" versus \" zero \" ?Professor F: I mean , the other thing is we could just bag it because it 's{disfmarker} it 's {disfmarker} it 's - I 'm not worrying about it I mean , because we do have digits training data that we have from uh from OGI . I 'm sorry ,digits {disfmarker} numbers training that we have from OGI , we 've done lots and lots of studies with that . And um .PhD G: But it 's nice to get it in this roomwith the acousProfessor F: Yeah .PhD G: I mean {disfmarker} for {disfmarker} it 's {disfmarker}Professor F: No , no , I guess what I 'm saying is thatGrad D:Just let them read it how they read it .Professor F: to some extent maybe we could just read them {disfmarker} have them read how {disfmarker} how they readit and it just means that we have to expand our {disfmarker} our vocabulary out to stuff that we already have .PhD G: Right . Well that 's fine with me as long as{disfmarker} It 's just that I didn't want to cause the people who would have been collecting digits the other way to not have the digits .Professor F: Yeah . Wecan go back to the other thing later .PhD G: So {disfmarker}Professor F: I mean we s we {disfmarker} we 've {disfmarker} We can do this for awhilePhD G: OK.Professor F: and then go back to digits for awhile , or um . Do yo I mean , do you want {disfmarker} do you want this {disfmarker} Do you need training data oradaptation data out of this ?PhD G: OK .Professor F: How much of this do you need ? with uh the {disfmarker}PhD G: It 's actually unclear right now . I justthought well we 're {disfmarker} if we 're collec collecting digits , and Adam had said we were running out of the TI forms , I thought it 'd be nice to have them ingroups , and probably , all else being equal , it 'd be better for me to just have single digitsProfessor F: OK .PhD G: since it 's , you know , a recognizer 's gonnado better on those anyway , um , and it 's more predictable . So we can know from the transcript what the person said and the transcriber , in general .ProfessorF: OK , well if you prePhD G: But if they make mistakes , it 's no big deal if the people say a hundred instead of \" one OO \" . and also w maybe we can just letthem choose \" zero \" versus \" O \" as they {disfmarker} as they like because even the same person c sometimes says \" O \" and sometimes says \" zero \" indifferent context ,Professor F: Yeah .PhD G: and that 's sort of interesting . So I don't have a Specific need cuz if I did I 'd probably try to collect it , you know ,without bothering this group , but If we can try it {disfmarker}Grad D: OK so {disfmarker} so I can just add to the instructions to read it as digits not asconnected numbers .Postdoc E: Mm - hmm .PhD G: Right , and you can give an example like , you know , \" six {disfmarker} sixty - one would be read as six one\" .Grad D: Right .Postdoc E: Mm - hmm . And i actually it 's no more artificial than what we 've been doing with words .PhD G: And I think people will get it.Postdoc E: I 'm sure people can adapt to this , read it single .PhD G: Right , right .Postdoc E: The spaces already bias it toward being separated .PhD G: It 's justeasier to read .Postdoc E: And I know I 'm gonna find this easier than words .PhD G: Right .Grad D: Oh yeah , absolutely , cognitively it 's much easier .PhD G:OK I also had a hard {disfmarker} hard time with the words ,Professor F: Yeah .PhD G: but then we went back and forth on that . OK , so let 's give that atryGrad D: OK . And is the spacing alright or do you think there should be more space between digits and groups ?Professor F: OK .PhD G: and {disfmarker}GradD: Or is that alright ?PhD G: I mean what do other people think cuz you guys are reading {comment} them .Postdoc E: I think that i it 's fine .Grad D: OK.Postdoc E: I it {disfmarker} it {disfmarker} to me it looks like you 've got the func the idea of grouping and you have the grou the idea of separationPhD G: OK.Postdoc E: and , you know , it 's just a matter of u i the instructions , that 's all .PhD G: Great . OK .Grad D: And I think there are about ten different goupingpatternsProfessor F: Let 's try it .PhD G: Well let 's give it a try .Grad D: isn't that right , Liz ? That we did .PhD G: Righ - right , and you just {disfmarker} they're randomly {nonvocalsound} generated and randomly assigned to digits .Postdoc E: I did {disfmarker} Mm - hmm .Professor F: So we have{disfmarker}Postdoc E: Go ahead .Professor F: Sorry , I {disfmarker} I was just gonna say , so we have in the vicinity of forty hours of {disfmarker} ofrecordings now . And you 're saying two hours , uh , is digits , so that 's roughly the ratio then ,Grad D: Yep .Professor F: something like twenty {disfmarker}twenty to one . Which I guess makes {disfmarker} makes sense . So if we did another forty hours of recordings then we could get another couple hours of this.Grad D: Right .Professor F: Um , yeah like you say , I think a couple hours for a {disfmarker} for a {disfmarker} for a test {disfmarker} test set 's OK . It 'd benice to get , you know , more later because we 'll {disfmarker} we might use {disfmarker} use this up , uh , in some sense ,Postdoc E: Mm - hmm .Grad D: Right.Professor F: but {disfmarker} but uh {disfmarker}Postdoc E: Yeah , I also would like to argue for that cuz it {disfmarker} it seems to me that , um , there 's areal strength in having the same test replicated in {disfmarker} a whole bunch of times and adding to that basic test bank .Grad D: Right .Postdoc E: Hmm ? Cuzthen you have , you know , more and more , u chances to get away from random errors . And I think , um , the other thing too is that right now we have sort of astratified sample with reference to dialect groups , and it might be {disfmarker} there might be an argument to be made for having uh f for replicating all of the"}
+{"doc_id":"doc_100","qid":"","text":"Project Manager: Hi Kate . {vocalsound} Okay , carry on .Industrial Designer: Just just carry on . {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound} Alright um this isthe beginning of the third meeting , the conceptual design meeting . Um our agenda should be um that we're opening the meeting , I have {disfmarker} theminutes from the previous meeting are on the shared f drive at this point . Um and we should each have a presentation to make . Um we have certain decisionsto make and we have forty minutes total . It's twenty five after two at the moment , so forty minutes is five after three , {vocalsound} um which I'll be keepingan eye on the clock for us . Okay . {vocalsound} Um there are the decisions we have to turn to , but we'll come back to them in a minute after I take us to theminutes of the previous meeting . Right um as we remember , I opened the meeting , the four of us were present , the meeting {disfmarker} the first meeting'sminutes were reviewed and approved . Um Sarah , you presented a marketing research report um which pretty much rep represented that fifteen to thirty fiveyear olds uh it has to be hand-held , power , channel , volume , number keys , possibly a speech recognition . And then Steph did a second presentation um thatthose functions plus streamlining them with big user-friendly keys that were easy to use . I think all of us agreed with those things . Kate presented a workingdesign of {disfmarker} going after {disfmarker} going over the basics on the whiteboard um that it should be a simple mass-produced device , because of thetwelve and a half Pence cost . Um but we did talk about possibly using rechargeable batteries and having a docking place as a selling point . Um and the newrequirements that it for {disfmarker} be for T_V_ only um and that it include the l so slogan and colour of the uh corporate design be included . Um {vocalsound}the corporate image . So we agreed that the target market would be fifteen to thirty five with more money than sense , that were decision makers . Alternativelyit would be a manufacturer to enclose it with the T_V_ , but it still should meet those parameters . Um and that the function we agreed was volume , power ,numbers , enter , channels , a way to move between channels , easy to use and hand-held . {vocalsound} Um at that point we agreed that Sarah would look atthe current cost of competition , what what do the current ones sell for . Um and Steph was gonna look at ec ergonomics . Kate was gonna look at cost andfeasibility of the various possibilities that we discussed . And I was to type up these minutes and work on the final report . Is this a fair presentation of what ourlast meeting was ?User Interface: Yeah .Industrial Designer: Mm-hmm .User Interface: Yes .Project Manager: Okay . Right . So we're ready to close that and goback to our {disfmarker} That one . Right . We're up to the point of the {disfmarker} Go back . Um {vocalsound} the three presentations . So we're going to pullthe plug on me and turn to Sarah . Is that okay ? Is that alright with everybody else ?Industrial Designer: Mm-hmm . {vocalsound}User Interface: Yep .ProjectManager: Especially since Kate asked to be last . {vocalsound} Sarah , I'm sorry if I misspelled your name , I didn't know whether it was S_A_R_A_ or{vocalsound} S_A_R_H_ .Marketing: {vocalsound} {vocalsound} I respond to either .Project Manager: You respond to whatever you get , huh ?{vocalsound}Marketing: No worries .Project Manager: Okay . Um , did you do your {disfmarker} Hit {disfmarker}User Interface: Yeah , {gap}Project Manager:Ah , there it is . Ta-da .Marketing: Okay , first thing I want to address is um one of the points that Florence brought up , which was uh current cost of thecompetition devices , similar to the ones that Stephanie uh showed us and and they're uh twenty to sixty Euros , depending on uh branding .User Interface: Right.Marketing: Some of them that have a higher brand recognition are on the more expensive end . But I think that with the current um price that we're searchingfor , we're well within , even on the lower end , of the uh of the market .Project Manager: Mm 'kay .Marketing: But I'm going to move on to more interesting um{vocalsound} more vibrant things . {vocalsound} So , I investigated the remote control market in greater detail , and my uh {disfmarker} the theme of what Iwas to work on was uh trend watch .User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: And {vocalsound}Project Manager: 'Kay .User Interface: {vocalsound}IndustrialDesigner: {vocalsound} Sorry . {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound}User Interface:{vocalsound}Industrial Designer: I'm glad to see the marketing budget is being so well spent on {vocalsound} {gap} . {vocalsound}Marketing:{vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound} I know that you all are a distance from cutting edge marketing research ,IndustrialDesigner: {vocalsound}Marketing: so you know , I'm just gonna try to cloak it in really professional terms here . What's hot , fruit and veg . Spongy .IndustrialDesigner: {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: And this is all over the catwalks , Paris , Milan , and I'm talking about clothing , furniture , shoes. {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: This is really interesting change from past years ,Project Manager: Mm .User Interface:{vocalsound}Marketing: because it is much more organic , um some would say approachable . {vocalsound} And I think if we're to refashion our view of what wewant in a remote control , we should perhaps think about incorporating technologically interesting fabrics and some of the bold colours into a simple handset . So. {vocalsound} I also did a little research on um {vocalsound} what again are the most important priorities in uh decision making about uh purchasing . Fancy .Functional is out . And f the fancy , and that's exactly the term , I'm I'm thinking polished , elegant , {vocalsound} you know , kind of innovative , but a cut above. This is twice as important as the next finding , which is technologically innovative . This is interesting , 'cause I think in the last meeting we were talking abouttechnology as being so important , but maybe what's innovative is having it simple with um with uh technologically {vocalsound} superior fabrics or uh , youknow , designed in interesting substances . Ease of use . Again , pretty low , I mean it's the top three , but each of the uh fancy and technologically innovative arefar more important . So I think we should cloak the streamlined remote control device in a series of {vocalsound} fruit {vocalsound} fruit themed sleeves .UserInterface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} {vocalsound} I think that's a good idea . Don't you ? {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound} Y yeah ,you know {disfmarker}Project Manager: It sounds like the the uh covers that they use for the remote , you know , your t your cell phone .User Interface: Yes.Marketing: Exactly . {vocalsound} Exactly . I was thinking though that instead of having something uh like patterned , you know , so , you know , somethingsimilar to a summer dress . {gap} you know , it would have like fruit and veg , is that we actually make these spongy .Project Manager: Mm .Marketing: Theycould be {disfmarker} ini initially I thought we could start with kind of um fruit that would suit kind of uh a long uh hand-held , so banana , pineapple and pear .Um it could actually {disfmarker} the sleeve could {vocalsound} take up a lot of the {vocalsound} development and the remote control , we'd just need to getreductionist on it . {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound} {vocalsound}Marketing: They could be interchangeable , they're spongy , that goes back toergonomic , and the youngsters love 'em , fun for the whole family , everyone can have their own . So what we're talking about is changing . this concept .Everyone has a T_V_ remote , but then we add in the fact that they could each have their own individual fruit .User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing:{vocalsound} That's what's hot on the catwalks . {vocalsound} So , this is my {disfmarker} This is what I'm thinking .Project Manager: Hmm .User Interface:{vocalsound} {vocalsound}Project Manager: Uh-huh mm . In most families , don't {disfmarker} isn't the remote {disfmarker} is a remote .Marketing: Y yeah ,but I think I think what this would allow is perhaps a person in the family who had the most opinion about it {disfmarker} we all need a remote ,Project Manager:Mm .Marketing: but the person who is really perhaps active in personalising , I'm thinking the teenager , the {disfmarker} someone fifteen to thirty five would goout and get this additional thing the same way as you mentioned that people would get the cell phone covers .User Interface: {vocalsound} So when your dad'ssitting there , overriding your decision , going no we're gonna watch this , you can bring out your own remote and be like zap , no we're gonna watch this.Marketing: {vocalsound} Yeah . W and {vocalsound} plus I think {disfmarker}Project Manager: Mm . Well actually some households do have three and fourT_V_sMarketing: {vocalsound} Uh yeah .User Interface: {gap}Project Manager: and they would have a remote for each one ,Marketing: Yeah .Project Manager:so .Marketing: Yeah . So this is an idea and I I {disfmarker} you know , this is exactly what the research has uh has shown . So I really open this up to uh anyother feedback . This {vocalsound} spongy fruit and veg .Industrial Designer: Yeah , I I think we're gonna have some trouble when we get down to thecomponent design on this .Marketing: Thanks . {vocalsound} Alright .Project Manager: Hmm .Industrial Designer: Spongy is gonna be difficult , I'm afraid .UserInterface: Yep . {vocalsound} And as for as for um well budgeting as well , if we're gonna have lots of different interchangeable components .Project Manager:Hmm . {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound} I I just have my ear to the market , guys . {gap} {disfmarker}User Interface: {vocalsound} Is this {gap} to themarket {gap} ?Industrial Designer: Yeah , I mean basically we can make these things out of wood , titanium , plastic or rubber . I suppose rubber is the closestto spongy ,Marketing: Is spongiest , yeah .Industrial Designer: yeah .Marketing: That would add {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: I was thinking titanium myself.User Interface: I was thinking titanium , I was thinking it's just {disfmarker} I have been influenced by pictures of iPods , and they're also minimalist and shiny.Marketing: Mm-hmm . {vocalsound} They are and they they would fulfil the uh first um priority , which is fancy . I think many of us would associate those withfancy . Something else we could do is uh call it something that's fruit and veg oriented . We could call it uh {disfmarker} {vocalsound} The name .ProjectManager: Are we talking about the device itself or the c or a cover for the device that would be an interchangeable cov cover as a separate product ?Marketing:{vocalsound} Well it would be uh a a very simple product that would have a spongy sleeve that would be interchangeable . So {disfmarker}Project Manager:Perhaps perhaps that desi that particular suggestion needs to go back to managementUser Interface: Yeah , but it's kind of pointless , isn't it ?Project Manager:"}
+{"doc_id":"doc_101","qid":"","text":"Project Manager: That should hopefully do the trick , um . 'Kay . Sorry about the small delay . Falling a little bit behind schedule . And that's uh fifteen twenty five. Okay . So just to try and roughly go over what we agreed in the last one , um we're gonna go for something uh uh how was it ? Uh The new black , I believe.Marketing: {gap} .Project Manager: Um something that looks good 'cause that seems to be in preference to actual functionality in the end , though we shouldnever avoid functionality , of course . Uh many of our components are gonna be standard , off the shelf , but it seemed like we were gonna require at least anadvanced chip and we were still very much for the idea of using an L_C_D_ display . Um other things were we were hoping to use rubber , most likely gonna bedouble curved , etcetera . Okay . So um due to your hard work , we might as well let the uh two designers go first , and uh show us the prototype .User Interface:Okay , it's a {disfmarker}Project Manager: Quite how the best way to do this is , I'm not sure ,Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface: {gap} I think ifwe both step upProject Manager: but {disfmarker}User Interface: and uh outline our ideas . Okay . Now do {disfmarker} uh doing the prototype gave us a bitmore insight into the ergonomics of the design . Um for one thing , it turned out that the only point at which it needs to be articulated for handedness is um is h iis down here for the uh L_E_D_ . As it turned out , the whole thing transfers from the right to left hand fairly well from the point of view of operating the uhfunction buttons and joystick , though it might be an idea to be able to a adjust the positions for the base of the joystick just a little bit for uh {disfmarker}ProjectManager: Okay .User Interface: {gap} ju just a thought . You could simply have a slightly ovoid shaped joystick that could then just be turn uh twisted round , sothat the uh sticky uh so that the bit that sticks out a bit more is on one side or the other . But as you as you see with the uh {vocalsound} with holding it in theleft hand , the L_ uh the L_C_D_ is nowhere useful , so that would need to be articulated uh if we're going to retain {gap} ergonomic design . Um now I I gotyour note about uh keeping the cost down .Project Manager: I'm afraid yeah .User Interface: Yeah .Project Manager: We'll go into that a bit more ,User Interface:{gap} this design could be done with um with uh plastic casing .Project Manager: but please go on .User Interface: Though I would recommend around the grippart here in the middle , having maybe just a rubber grip over that which would allow for a slightly more sort of bio-morphic form , and a bit more ergonomic aswell . As for the um as for the single curve , um well this edge and this edge , like I say it would be nice to have some curvature to it , but it's not absolutelynecessary . Really the curve that's most needed is the underside so that the jo so that the joystick rests over the the edge of the hand like this . Um and you havethe uh transmitter here and a wee speaker for the uh for the uh for the uh fi uh for the remote control finder . So .Project Manager: {vocalsound}User Interface:Any further comments ?Industrial Designer: Um obviously it's gonna be bulkier than how it looks , because it's gonna be flat on one side , so the L_C_D_ will be ssticking down like this , won't it ?User Interface: Mm-hmm . Yeah .Industrial Designer: 'Cause it {disfmarker} you can't get it curved .User Interface: Yeah , Imean theIndustrial Designer: Uh because of costs .User Interface: uh {disfmarker} Yeah .Industrial Designer: And it's plastic as well , so it won't be ascomfortable on the hand .User Interface: Yeah . I mean with the with the rubber design it could i you know it could pretty much mould very much to the to theuser's hand .Project Manager: Mm .User Interface: One nice wee feature if we could if we could still do the rubber , I though of was to have {gap} the uh rubberextend beyond the end of the uh {vocalsound} of the rigid substructure . So it has a wee sort of tail that you just drape over your wrist so it stays in positionnicely .Project Manager: {vocalsound}User Interface: Mm . Lovely . Um .Industrial Designer: Yeah , {gap} . {vocalsound}Project Manager: Okay , yeah . Great .Um .Marketing: Right . Yeah I've got a {disfmarker} if you load up my evaluation document .Project Manager: Yeah , okay {gap} .User Interface: Okay .ProjectManager: Excellent work .Marketing: Mm .Project Manager: Um .Marketing: Uh evaluation . {vocalsound} Basic point uh have a list of criteria that we need torate the prototype by . {vocalsound} Um then we will {disfmarker} it's a seven s um seven seven step kinda evaluation process . So um not seven steps , sevenscale . So after we've finished doing all the ratings for each criteria , we average that and that will give us some type of uh confidence in our prototype . And uhthe criteria {gap} based on Real Reactions' kinda goals and policies , marketing strategies , and also those I put together from the user requirements phase . 'Kay. Um if you flip the {disfmarker} {vocalsound} So , those are the criteria . And uh perhaps I could have put 'em a bit better , but you notice a few things thatwe've totally abandoned , which means {vocalsound} that uh the product will score very badly on some of those points .Project Manager:{vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound} Put it mildly . So we have um true ? One , t Seven , eight , oh . Fourth . Okay , so we have to go through each point . If weimagine it's actually straight , and just give it a a score . So um how well would you say the prototype is uh how well have we realised the dream of being able tostop remotes from from being lost , or to be able to find them once they are lost . I mean , uh is the homing thing still {disfmarker} the locator , is that still{disfmarker}User Interface: Yeah , that's still part of the design .Marketing: Sure . And Adam , we can keep that in ?Project Manager: Yeah , I believe so . So Imean I don't think anybody could actually stop a remote being lost ,Marketing: Okay .Project Manager: 'cause that would mean doing something about thehuman element ,Marketing: {vocalsound} Sure .Project Manager: but I'd like to think that we've done something about finding the damn thing once we have.Marketing: TUser Interface: Mm . Mm . And making it a bright colour helpsMarketing: Sure .User Interface: with the {disfmarker} personally I would have gonefor purple {gap} . {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound}Marketing: Mm . Bright colour . So we still have that noise thing , yeah ?User Interface: Mm-hmm.Marketing: Os on a scale of one to seven , how would you guys rate it for finding {gap} finding it once it's lost ?User Interface: I'd say number one .Marketing:Number one ?Industrial Designer: One . Yeah . {vocalsound}Marketing: Okay . Number number one for the first criteria .User Interface: I think w if it was justthe sounder then th {gap} I mean something I've found with uh w w with say tr trying to find uh a cordless phone or a m mobile , you can hear it , but you can'tquite pin it dow pin down where it is .Marketing: Yeah you can tell what room the mobile is {disfmarker}User Interface: BuIndustrial Designer: What about{disfmarker} what if the the volume on the T_V_'s turned up massively and uh you just wanna turn down the volume {gap} can't find remote . Suppose youhave to go to the T_V_ and do it manually . Mm .Marketing: Yeah .User Interface: Yeah .Project Manager: Mm . UmMarketing: Yeah .Industrial Designer: Like yyou wouldn't hear the speaker {gap} .Marketing: Mm-hmm .Project Manager: just before we go through all of the steps here , um well what we'll do isMarketing:You wanna say something ?Project Manager: um if we can look at the criteria you're gonna evaluate , and then we'll come back to the product evaluation if that'salright .Marketing: That's fine .Project Manager: Yeah , is that {disfmarker}Marketing: Oh that's that's fine .Project Manager: Um so is there anything here thatyou that you wanted to cover as in the criteria that you've covered ? And then we'll come back pretty much promptly to this .Marketing: What do you mean cr isthere anything I wanna {disfmarker}Project Manager: I is there any of these criteria that need any explaining ? Or is there anything that yous thought tha reallywould stand out compared to the others ?Marketing: Um , a few . {vocalsound} Something I neglected from my initial research is that Real Reactions has a a goalstrategy that all of the products be inspired by material fashion , and clothing fashion . That is why fruit and veg being popular in the home and in clothing wasimportant and they want all their products to be somehow inspired by current trends in fashion . So they say we put the fashion in electronics , well they reallymean it they they're very big on fashion ,Project Manager: Okay .Marketing: so . That's this bit right here . And uh this bit is this one easy to use for visitors or foranybody ? I guess it's just the same as saying easy to use interface , so it's kinda condensed into one . And we can come back to it , you said .Project Manager:Okay .Marketing: So .Project Manager: No and which we will do very very shortly . Um . Okay . Slight problem we had was that we have an amazing four Eurosover budget for what we were hoping to do . Um most of it stems from the use of the L_C_D_ which I think in the end accounted for about half of our expenditurebecause of course we required a chip as well . Um the only way to get this down was either to ditch the a L_C_D_ , at which point we've removed a large part ofhow we were gonna interface , {gap} require more buttons , etcetera . Or what we did was that we um we as in I as I was quickly going over it was altering theactual structure . Um changing it to plastic and a solid unit with a single curve design would allow us to come back into the um proposed costs and we're justscraping it in , we've got point two of a Euro left over there . So we're just managing it really . Even then as well , um there was no criteria technically defined fora joystick so I've used what I think's appropriate . With any luck that won't mean that we've incurred more cost than we can actually afford to . It blows a lot ofour really good ideas kind of slightly to one side , for example the possibility of having a U_S_B_ connection is definitely not viable now . Um .Marketing: Differentlanguages ?Project Manager: That should still be viable . We've got an advanced chip , we've got the use of the L_C_D_ . So being able to communicate inmultiple languages is still very much a possibility .Marketing: Yeah . {vocalsound}Project Manager: Um but what's something we need to decide on is how we'regonna go from here . {vocalsound} We do need to try and come up with an idea which could be continued with other people if need be . Um . We can I can bringthe excel up sheet up and uh show you if you wish um . I really think as m much as it pains me is that we might have to go with plastic and some kind of soliddesign , possibly meaning that the L_C_D_ wouldn't be in this perfect place . It might be s stuck like slightly between what would be good for left handed andwhat would be good for a right handed person .User Interface: Mm-hmm I suppose o one thing that could be done is h {vocalsound} is have it um circular andhave it s {vocalsound} so that the uh the pink {gap} actually goes a bit over the pinkie finger . Mm .Project Manager: Okay .Marketing: Mm .User Interface: So"}

I'm pleased to be presenting a petition in support of BillS-204. This is a bill in the Senate, put forward by Senator Salma Ataullahjan. It would make it a criminal offence for a person to go abroad and receive an organfor which there has not been consent by the donor. It also creates a mechanism by which someone could be deemed inadmissible to Canada if they were involvedin organ harvesting and trafficking. This bill is designed to confront and address the horrific practice by which, in certain casesfor instance, inside Chinaminoritycommunities or dissidents may be targeted and have their organs removed as they're killed and used for transplantation. Petitioners are supportive of Bill S-204,and they want to see it passed as soon as possible.The Chair: Our next petition will go to Mr. Viersen.Mr. Arnold Viersen (Peace RiverWestlock, CPC): Mr. Chair, Iam presenting a petition today signed by Canadians who are concerned that Bill C-7 removes safeguards from the current euthanasia regime, including themandatory 10-day waiting period.

Each statement will be for a maximum of one minute. I remind members that if they exceed that time limit, they will beinterrupted.  Our first statement goes to Monsieur El-Khoury.Mr. Fayal El-Khoury (LavalLes les, Lib.): Mr.Chair, I thank the government for the way it hasmanaged this global crisis and its impact on Canadians. It has acted in a robust, rapid and very effective way. Our Prime Minister has been awarded the medal ofhonour, courage and humanity worldwide. Canada is one of the few countries that has acted in the best interests of its citizens and maintained their dignity inthese uncertain times. While addressing Canadians, our right honourable Prime Minister showed us leadership, the importance of transparency, and integrity. Hekept us united. His top priority was saving lives, along with finding realistic solutions regarding the economic impact on our daily life. Because of his outstandingleadership, we're admired across the world, which is another distinguished privilege of being Canadian. Thank you, Mr. Chair.The Chair: We'll now go to Mr.Epp.Mr. Dave Epp (Chatham-KentLeamington, CPC): COVID-19 has emptied food banks across Canada, even in an agricultural community like Chatham-Kent, soWes Thompson and James Rasmussen, along with Alysson Storey, Randi Bokor, Maureen Geddes, Chris and Terry Johnston, Jason King, Fannie Vavoulis andBrent Wilken, grew an idea into the community's largest-ever food drive. Project manager Morna McDonald estimates that over 3,000 volunteers ended uphelping in the May 16 Miracle. Residents put non-perishable foodstuffs on their doorsteps, with drop-off centres organized for rural areas. Volunteer groupstravelled predetermined routes while maintaining physical distancing. The community collected an amazing 678,000 pounds of food. They accidentally exceededby over 20% the record in the Guinness World Records book for collected food in a single day. Chatham-Kent has restocked their food banks and reaffirmed theircommunity pride. It's an honour to represent such a community.The Chair: We'll now go to Mr. Sarai. We have a point of order from Mr. d'Entremont.Mr. Chrisd'Entremont (West Nova, CPC): As much as I like seeing my friends on the big screens, there are no big screens yet, so we don't know who's on and who's noton. I was wondering if there was going to be a TV coming up soon here, Mr. Chair.The Chair: There is a technical issue, and it is being worked on. We're workingon it as we go through. The other alternative is that we suspend until we fix it. If it's okay, we'll just continue. I think we can all hear the members who arespeaking. This is one of the realities of a virtual or hybrid system. Our next statement will go to Mr. Sarai.Mr. Randeep Sarai (Surrey Centre, Lib.): Thank you, Mr.Chair, and mabuhay to all the Filipino Canadians across this country. In June across Canada we recognize Filipino Heritage Month to raise awareness andcelebrate the Filipino community. Here in Surrey Centre, and across Canada, the Filipino community makes important contributions to our cities and has helpedshape Canada into the vibrant multicultural society that we all know and love today. Now more than ever, during these challenging times we must come togetheras Canadians to celebrate the rich heritage and history of our Filipino neighbours. Throughout June, please join me in celebrating our fellow citizens of Filipinodescent by recognizing all the incredible ways in which they have contributed to making Canada a better place for all of us. Happy Filipino Heritage Month. Thankyou, Mr. Chair.The Chair: Mr.Perron.Mr. Yves Perron (BerthierMaskinong, BQ): Good afternoon, Mr.Chair. Today is World Milk Day, and I would like to recognizethe exceptional work and dedication shown by everyone in the industry. They ensure we have a nutritious, high quality product every day. Let's take part in thelocal consumption movement and rediscover the exceptional products of our dairy producers and processors. Enjoy the yogurts, cheeses and other productsbecause it's true that milk is good. I would also like to thank BrunoLetendre, outgoing chair of the Producteurs de lait du Qubec, and I congratulate the new chair,DanielGobeil. The dairy industry has been sacrificed several times in trade agreements. The government's broken promises are piling up. The payment ofcompensation is still uncertain. Action must be taken. The first step must be the direct allocation of import quotas to processors, and the second must be the fullpayment of the promised compensation. We demand a formal commitment from the government.The Chair: We'll now continue with Mr.Iacono.Mr. Angelo Iacono(Alfred-Pellan, Lib.): Mr.Chair, June is Italian Heritage Month. The situation is special this year, since Italy has been hard hit by COVID-19, with more than30,000deaths. Like me, many Italian Canadians still have family and friends in Italy, and the news has sometimes been very difficult to take, yet that has notdetracted from the great co-operation that exists between Canada and Italy.  Today I would like to highlight the solidariet italiana in our community. During thepandemic, Canadians of Italian descent have been united to support anziani, our famiglie and our amici in Italy by participating in the fundraising campaignCOVID-19 AiutiAMO lItalia to support the Italian Red Cross response activities. I send a special salute to to my cugino Giuseppe, who is still on the road torecovery from COVID-19. The Chair: We'll continue with Mr. Kram.Mr. Michael Kram (ReginaWascana, CPC): Mr. Chair, I would like to acknowledge all of theorganizations in Saskatchewan and across Canada that are working hard to help small businesses adapt to the challenges of the current pandemic. In particular, Iwould like to thank the Regina Downtown Business Improvement District, or RDBID. As soon as the pandemic hit, RDBID launched a daily electronic newsletter tokeep their members informed of support programs, local initiatives and local success stories. They have used their social media channels on a daily basis topromote takeout and delivery services, online and curbside services offered by restaurants and retailers. They have also launched a number of their owninitiatives to help businesses access e-commerce. Through persistent communication and a lot of long hours, RDBID has helped businesses in downtown Reginato weather the storm. Because of their hard work, downtown Regina will come through this pandemic better than ever.The Chair: Mr.Lauzon now has the floor.Mr.Stphane Lauzon (ArgenteuilLa Petite-Nation, Lib.): Mr.Chair, high-speed Internet will be to the 21stcentury what electricity was to the 20th: an essential service.We are currently experiencing a drastic change in our morals, our consumption patterns and our socialization habits. We are turning to the Internet to read thenews, contact our friends and complete our purchases. Isolation associated with COVID-19 has only accelerated this trend. Unfortunately, not all regions ofCanada have reliable, affordable, high-speed access. I would like to reassure the citizens of my riding about the efforts that we are making as a government, but"}

I thereforedeclare that John Griffiths has been appointed temporary Chair, and I invite him to chair for the duration of today's meeting.John Griffiths AM: Thank you verymuch. I thank the Members for that. Welcome, everyone, to this meeting of the Children, Young People and Education Committee. The first item on our agendatoday is apologies, substitutions, declarations of interest. Obviously, Lynne Neagle isn't able to be with us today. We haven't received any other apologies. Arethere any declarations of interest? No. We will move on then to item 2 on our agenda, the continuation of our inquiry into targeted funding to improve educationaloutcomes, and evidence session 8. And I'm very pleased to welcome Estyn here this morning to give evidence to the committee. Would you like to introduceyourselves for the record, please?Meilyr Rowlands: Meilyr Rowlands, chief inspector.Claire Morgan: Claire Morgan, strategic director.Simon Brown: Simon Brown,strategic director.John Griffiths AM: Okay. Thank you. And welcome again. If it's okay, we'll move straight into questions—we have quite a number of questions toget through this morning. Firstly, Llyr.Llyr Gruffydd AM: Thank you, Chair, and good morning. I just want to start by asking about your perception of how schoolsare using the pupil development grant funding, and to what extent they are genuinely targeting that funding exclusively towards children eligible for free schoolmeals.Meilyr Rowlands: Thank you for the question. This grant has been targeted far better by now than it was originally. Estyn has made several reportsregarding the effectiveness of the grant, and, really, going back to before this specific grant, to a similar grant, called RAISE. At the start of this grant, the fundingwas often spent on tackling underachievement, rather than dealing with the underachievement of children who are eligible for free school meals specifically. But,over a period of time, we have seen that it is targeted much better by now. That's not to say that the targeting is working perfectly still, and I think that we areseeing examples where the targeting isn't going just to children who receive free school meals. Schools sometimes interpret poverty in a slightly wider way thanthat. In terms of what schools are doing with the grant, we have given evidence to you of the kinds of things that they are doing. They are tracking progress ofpupils, they are trying to improve attendance, they are trying to work with families and the community in general, they're doing work specifically to improvehow children are doing in exams, in key stage 4, specifically—a lot of funding is being spent on that—improving the confidence of students, taking students onextra-curricular activities, improving literacy and numeracy. Those are the kinds of activities they're being used for.Llyr Gruffydd AM: Because the research byIpsos MORI and the Wales Institute of Social and Economic Research, Data and Methods has shown that there is some kind of blurring—I think that's the termthat they use—in terms of who is eligible. But you are relatively comfortable with the fact that there is sufficient targeting happening. You referred to the fact thatit is used, perhaps, to reach a slightly wider cohort than just those who are eligible for free school meals, but you do feel that that balance, from your experience,is acceptable.Meilyr Rowlands: Yes, certainly, it has improved a great deal. When I was looking at this initially, the targeting wasn’t happening at all. It was beingspent on children who were underachieving, and one of the things that we did notice in the first report was that much more funding was being spent on boys thangirls. And, of course, that raised the question immediately that it wasn't being spent then on children who are eligible for free school meals, becausethose numbers are equal. So, it wasn’t, but it has improved. There is a discussion about who exactly should have it and whether free school meals is the bestdefinition. So, I think that schools are perhaps not following that exactly, but within the spirit of the grant, I think I’m fairly comfortable. There is a specificquestion—I don’t know if you are going to ask this—regarding more able and talented pupils.Llyr Gruffydd AM: That's where I was going next.Meilyr Rowlands:So, if there is a cohort of pupils who are missing out on this, they are the more able and talented pupils who receive free school meals. There are a number ofreasons for this, I think. One of them is that there’s still some feeling that less able children should be receiving this grant, children who are underachieving.Schools don’t always identify underachievement of those more able children. It seems that they are doing okay, but if they were given more support, they woulddo even better.Llyr Gruffydd AM: So, is it a lack of awareness of the nature of the grant, and that the individual has to be targeted rather than just those who areunderachieving? Is that the problem? Or is it the regime that focuses on exam results and the need to draw those pupils who are underachieving up, rather thanincentivising those who are achieving to achieve better?Meilyr Rowlands: A bit of both, I'd say. And the third factor is identifying children who are more able. Ithink that we have a bit of work to do in that regard. I was in a conference for headteachers last week, where there was new data being discussed, and that datashowed the progress of children from a certain point, year 6 tests. I think that kind of data will be very useful, because what that data can do is help secondaryschools to identify more able children and that they are underachieving. Even though they're doing quite well, that kind of value-added data is very useful. So, Ithink that that will help as well.Llyr Gruffydd AM: Thank you.John Griffiths AM: Mark, did you want to pursue these matters further?Mark Reckless AM: Yes. I justwanted to ask about the more able and talented stream. It was good to read in your report an increased emphasis on this and to see your awareness of itsimportance in the PDG as well. Can I just ask—? Would you look at one area regarding schools' engagement with the Seren network, particularly for the moreable and talented, and what more Estyn can do through its inspection criteria and otherwise to encourage this from schools?Meilyr Rowlands: Well, I think Estynhas always been very strongly focused on improving the performance of more able pupils. For example, in last year's annual report I raised it, and a lot of thedebate around this now, I think, was generated by some of the things I've said in previous annual reports. We gave a lot of evidence to the—. Paul Flynn, I think,did the—no, who did the report? Paul Murphy did the report. So, we gave evidence to that. And on Seren, I'm particularly proud that my alma mater, JesusCollege, is a very strong supporter of the Seren work. So, I'm personally quite interested in the work of Seren. And we look at the performance of more ablepupils in all our inspections. It's a particular part of our inspection framework—looking at the relative performance of different groups. So, we look at the differentperformance of boys and girls, free school meals and non-free school meals, ethnic minorities, but we also look at the performance of more able pupils inparticular, and we question schools about how they provide for the more able pupils, and we've referred to Seren in several of our inspection reports.MarkReckless AM: And where schools work particularly hard to engage with Seren and take up opportunities from that and push as many pupils as appropriate to workwith that, is that something that you would recognise within your inspection reports? And, on the other side, where schools don't do that, is that something youwould pull them up on?Meilyr Rowlands: Yes, we've done that. We've done it in several reports.Claire Morgan: Throughout our inspections, we are looking for bestpractice, because part of our strategy is always to identify where there are weaknesses, but actually to point schools in the direction of where they can find asolution. So, capturing different approaches to more able and talented is part of the role of inspection.Mark Reckless AM: Thank you.Llyr Gruffydd AM: Justbriefly, you touched earlier on using the measure of those who are eligible for free school meals as a way to identify children from disadvantaged backgrounds sothat you can target this funding. Varied evidence has been given to us on this. Do you have an opinion on whether that's the best way?Meilyr Rowlands: Itcertainly is a good way of doing it. There is a strong correlation between children who underachieve and that measure, so it is a strong measure. But, there isscope to discuss how exactly it does work. For example, some people say that if you have received free school meals for a period of time and now you're notreceiving them, then perhaps you should still be receiving the funding for a period of time, for example. So, there are ways of fine-tuning that measure, I think.It's worth considering those approaches.John Griffiths AM: Thanks for that. We move on now to Michelle.Michelle Brown AM: Thank you. Good morning, everyone.You've reported that the proportion of schools making effective use of the PDG remains around two thirds of secondary and primary schools, meaning that a thirdare still not using that PDG effectively. Why do you think this is?Meilyr Rowlands: I think that sort of proportion broadly corresponds to the schools that don'thave particularly good leadership. I think, ultimately, all of these sorts of initiatives come down to strong leadership and effective leadership—that they know howto organise and use those grants effectively. One of the shortcomings that we often identify is evaluation—that money has been spent on a particular way of usingthe grant, but it has not been evaluated well. So, I think quite a lot of it is to do with generic leadership skills. But those are some of the specific shortcomings todo with evaluation.Michelle Brown AM: Are there any patterns by region or type of school in that?Meilyr Rowlands: I don't think there's any patterns that we'veidentified in terms of region.Claire Morgan: As Meilyr said, it's very strongly linked to leadership capacity.Michelle Brown AM: Okay. Thank you. What are the mosteffective uses of PDG, from your point of view? Is there something in particular that you think that schools should be focusing on?Meilyr Rowlands: I think there'sa lot of evidence on what constitutes good practice in this area. There's the Welsh Government guidance, there's our guidance, there's a lot of research—theSutton Trust toolkit—and they're the sorts of things I mentioned earlier. I think that more attention does need to be given to the community-focused element ofthis work. So, schools do a lot of things that they are in control of—the things I mentioned earlier: things like improving attendance, offering extra-curricularactivities, literacy and numeracy support, tracking pupils—all those sorts of things. But an important element of this, I think, is engaging with the learners, butalso with parents and the community. I think what we've found is that the most effective schools—the ones that really do make a big difference to this cohort of"}

And I did some pre -segmentations for {disfmarker} for Jane . And I 'm not sure how good they are or what {disfmarker} what the transcribers say . They {disfmarker} they can useit or {disfmarker} ?Postdoc F: Uh , they {disfmarker} they think it 's a terrific improvement . And , um , it real it just makes a {disfmarker} a world of difference.Professor G: Hmm .Postdoc F: And , um , y you also did some something in addition which was , um , for those in which there {nonvocalsound} was , uh , quietspeakers in the mix .PhD C: Yeah . Uh , yeah . That {disfmarker} that was one {disfmarker} one {disfmarker} one thing , uh , why I added more mixtures for{disfmarker} for the speech . So I saw that there were loud {disfmarker} loudly speaking speakers and quietly speaking speakers .Professor G: Mm - hmm .PhDC: And so I did two mixtures , one for the loud speakers and one for the quiet speakers .Grad A: And did you hand - label who was loud and who was quiet , ordid you just {disfmarker} ?PhD C: I did that for {disfmarker} for five minutes of one dialogueGrad A: Right .PhD C: and that was enough to {disfmarker} to trainthe system .PhD B: W What {disfmarker} ?PhD D: Yeah .PhD C: And so it {disfmarker} it adapts , uh , on {disfmarker} while running . So .PhD B: What kind of ,uh , front - end processing did you do ?PhD C: Hopefully .PhD D: OK .PhD C: It 's just our {disfmarker} our old Munich , uh , loudness - based spectrum on melscale twenty {disfmarker} twenty critical bands and then loudness .PhD B: Mm - hmm .PhD C: And four additional features , which is energy , loudness , modifiedloudness , and zero crossing rate . So it 's twenty - four {disfmarker} twenty - four features .PhD B: Mmm .Professor G: Mm - hmm .Postdoc F: And you alsoprovided me with several different versions ,PhD C: Yeah .Postdoc F: which I compared .PhD C: Yeah .Postdoc F: And so you change {nonvocalsound}parameters . What {disfmarker} do you wanna say something about the parameters {nonvocalsound} that you change ?PhD C: Yeah . You can specify{vocalsound} the minimum length of speech or {disfmarker} and silence portions which you want . And so I did some {disfmarker} some modifications in thoseparameters , basically changing the minimum {disfmarker} minimum {pause} length for s for silence to have , er to have , um {disfmarker} yeah {disfmarker}to have more or less , uh , silence portions in inserted . So .Grad A: Right . So this would work well for , uh , pauses and utterance boundaries and things like that.PhD D: Yeah .PhD C: Yeah . Yeah .Grad A: But for overlap I imagine that doesn't work at all ,PhD C: Yeah .PhD D: Yeah .Grad A: that you 'll have plenty of ssections that are {disfmarker}PhD C: Yeah .PhD D: Yeah .PhD C: That 's it . Yeah .Postdoc F: Mm - hmm , mm - hmm .PhD D: Yeah .Grad A: But{disfmarker}Postdoc F: That 's true . But {nonvocalsound} it {disfmarker} it saves so much time {disfmarker} the {disfmarker} the {nonvocalsound}transcribersProfessor G: Um {disfmarker}Grad A: Yep .Postdoc F: just enormous , enormous savings . Fantastic .Professor G: That 's great . Um , just qu onequickly , uh , still on the features . So {vocalsound} you have these twenty - four features .PhD C: Yeah .Professor G: Uh , a lot of them are spectral features . Isthere a {disfmarker} a transformation , uh , like principal components transformation or something ?PhD C: No .Grad A: Yeah . It was IS two .PhD C: No . W wwe {disfmarker} originally we did thatProfessor G: Just {disfmarker}PhD C: but we saw , uh , when we used it , uh , f for our close - talking microphone , which{disfmarker} yeah , for our {disfmarker} for our recognizer in Munich {disfmarker} we saw that w it 's {disfmarker} it 's not {disfmarker} it 's not so necessary .It {disfmarker} it works as well f with {disfmarker} with {disfmarker} without , uh , a LDA or something .Professor G: OK . OK . No , I was j {pause} curious.PhD C: Yeah .Postdoc F: Mm - hmm .Professor G: Yeah , I don't think it 's a big deal for this application ,PhD C: Yeah .PhD D: Right .Professor G: but{disfmarker} but {disfmarker} Yeah , it 's a {disfmarker}Postdoc F: Mm - hmm . OK . But then there 's another thing that also Thilo 's involved with , which is ,um {disfmarker} OK , and {disfmarker} and also Da - Dave Gelbart . So there 's this {disfmarker} this problem of {disfmarker} and w and {disfmarker} so wehad this meeting . Th - the {nonvocalsound} {disfmarker} also Adam , before the {disfmarker} the {disfmarker} before you went away . Uh we , um{disfmarker} regarding the representation {nonvocalsound} of overlaps , because at present , {nonvocalsound} {vocalsound} um , because {nonvocalsound} ofthe limitations of {vocalsound} th the interface we 're using , overlaps are , uh , not being {nonvocalsound} encoded by {nonvocalsound} the transcribers in ascomplete {nonvocalsound} and , uh , detailed a way as it might be , and as might be desired {disfmarker} I think would be desired in the corpus ultimately"}

Um , think of it {disfmarker} 's kind of uh turning the abstract into slightlymore concrete . In this meeting ideally we'll come to some final decisions on what we're gonna do for the prototype . Um . Right so um , apologies for the lastmeeting , it was brought to my attention that I did not make the roles clear enough , um , so I will attempt to do so more accurately in this particular meeting .Um , fair enough , thanks for the input , 's always good . Um . So , basically all we're gonna do is have some presentations again much like last time , um , andgonna go through you , uh whoever wants to go first is f fine by me um and we'll collate what we know about um what we discussed in the last meeting , possibledirections . {vocalsound} And then we'll make some more decisions on um basic uh firm up our idea on how we want this remote control to look and work . So ,perfect . So , without th further ado , whoever wants to go first is free to .Industrial Designer: I'll go first .Project Manager: Alright Nathan ,Marketing: Go ahead.Project Manager: take it away . It is Nathan right ? I'm not calling you the wrong name over and over again ?Industrial Designer: No Nathan's fine .Marketing:{vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound} Good .Industrial Designer: It's either Nathan or participant two .Project Manager: {vocalsound}Marketing:{vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound} Mister participant two that is . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Uh .Project Manager: {vocalsound}Marketing: Nice.Industrial Designer: Okay . Um ,Project Manager: Nice .Industrial Designer: basically what I'm gonna have to talk to you about today is um component designand it's been brought to my attention that we may be somewhat limited as to what we can do because of what our manufacturer offers ,Project Manager: Mm.Industrial Designer: so {disfmarker} Basically what I'm gonna be doing is talking to you about that . Um , components of a remote control , okay . We've alreadykind of gone over this but we're gonna have to get into more detail and probably have to reach some conclusions some time soon . Energy source , um , ourmanufacturer offers a variety of energy sources , your standard battery , solar cells . Our manufacturer didn't say anything about lithium so we might have tolook {disfmarker} if we do go that route , we might have to look elsewhere . Um , and also there's a kinetic energy possibility . Basically , it's like a um{disfmarker} the idea of moving the remote would create enough energy to keep it running . So that's one possibility but I don't know whether that would bepowerful enough to illuminate a touch screen .Project Manager: Hmm .Industrial Designer: So we'll have to look into that .Marketing: Mm .Industrial Designer:Um , the case , we have a few options , plastic , rubber or wood . Um and then as far as the way it's shaped , we can do standard boring flat , which we probablydon't wanna do , curved or very sexy double curved .Project Manager: What kind of th thickness are we looking at ?Industrial Designer: Um , I imagine that wecould specify . Um , I don't see any reason to go outside of the convention of three or four millimetres . Yeah .Project Manager: Okay , brilliant .IndustrialDesigner: Um , the buttons , there are multiple scroll buttons available from our manufacturer , but to use those we'd have to use more chips , um and that wouldcost us more . And if we do go with the rubber doubled curved case um we'll have to use rubber push buttons because the other buttons aren't compatible withthat .Project Manager: Hmm .Industrial Designer: Um and just a little note there ,Marketing: Right .Industrial Designer: touch screen equals many chips whichequals many Euro .Project Manager: {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound} Right . Nice .Industrial Designer: Um , one thing that I noticed was that mostremotes operate on a infrare on the infrared part of the spectrum . So you notice when you push a button on a remote you can't see anything coming out of it butin fact there is light coming out of the remote and you know the television can detect that . And if you were to record {disfmarker} if you were to make a videorecording you could actually see the light . Uh one thing that I thought might be interesting was to use part {disfmarker} use visible light coming out of theremote , just kind of as a fun gimmick .Project Manager: Hmm .Industrial Designer: So you could actually see something coming out of the remote when youpushed it .Marketing: Interesting .Industrial Designer: Course it'd have to be a part of the spectrum that wouldn't damage the human eye or anything like that.Project Manager: {vocalsound} M Maybe {disfmarker}User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: Mm . Good call .Project Manager: is there an option that we canhave that off or on so a person can select like {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Yeah .Marketing: Choose it .Industrial Designer: I am sure that we could do that .Um , of course {disfmarker}Project Manager: Yeah I like the idea , it's a good idea .Industrial Designer: Yeah , just as a fun gimmick .Project Manager: Yeah.Industrial Designer: Just to set us apart a little bit . Um , and then on to the circuit board that we're gonna use , also known as the chip . Uh , we really don'thave any way around the T_A_ one one eight three five .Project Manager: {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Um findings , okay ,we're very limited by what our current manufacturers can offer , um and my question to all of you is , should we look to other manufacturies or should we justmake do with what we have available ?User Interface: Interesting question .Industrial Designer: 'S a bit of a challenge question .Project Manager: Mm .UserInterface: Yes .Marketing: Well I'd say shop around but with our time constraints , is that really a feasible option ?Project Manager: Mm .Industrial Designer:Right , that's my concern too . Um , if we do go the lithium battery route then we'll have to go outside our current manufacturer . My personal preference is{disfmarker} I'll just throw my cards on the table , uh I think we should probably go the solar battery route , just to kinda keep with the environmentally friendlytheme that we have going on . Uh , I like the idea of the visible light signalling , that's something to set us apart and uh I was thinking about {disfmarker} I wasthinking of ways that we could produce the remote in a variety of different case materials to suit different tastes . So we're not so confined by one style and saysome {disfmarker} you know , say our {disfmarker} the one {disfmarker}Marketing: Right .Industrial Designer: if we just go with one and it doesn't go over wellthen we're in a bad situation .Project Manager: Mm .Marketing: Right .Project Manager: Can we do marketing piloting too ? Try to see what kind {disfmarker}before we launch {disfmarker} can we see how they're received ?Marketing: Um {disfmarker} It's an option , uh but actually there's {disfmarker} I've got someresearch already on like what we're looking at and trends in casing right nowProject Manager: Okay . Okay .Marketing: which actually might even come into playbeforehand ,Project Manager: Okay , perfect .Marketing: it may help us decide for now . Temporarily anyway .Project Manager: Great , thank you very muchNathan .Industrial Designer: Oh yeah , you're welcome .Project Manager: That's perfect , so I guess that makes sense for you to take it from here .Marketing:{vocalsound} I guess so , 'cause I found some interesting things . {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface:{vocalsound} Did you ? {vocalsound}Marketing: You waiting for me ? {vocalsound}Project Manager: Fascinating , compelling even .Marketing: I know , what ateaser ain't it . Um . {vocalsound} Right . SoUser Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: current market trends . Screen . Um , basically I was looking at what's goingon in the remote control market right now and what's going on in other design fields , to see sort of what's what's trendy , what's new , what's happening . Um ,remote control right now {disfmarker} basically everybody says they want newer , fancier , more exciting {disfmarker} they're sick of this boring , normal ,functional , um {disfmarker} that we need innovative design options and there needs to be an easy user interface . Um the challenge is that current trends rightnow , across the board in fashion , in furniture , in technology , is a very organic fruit and vegetable kind of thing .User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager:{vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: Now I'm notsaying we should have , you know , tomato shaped remote controls or anything , but I think it is possible maybe to use um natural colours , like if wood is anoption , that whole organic , sleek , clean ,Industrial Designer: Mm .Marketing: v line thing may be something we can look into . Different skin options , or if wecan't afford this touch plate thing , or touch face screen interface um , maybe having the b images be specific , like you could choose your menu bullets tobeProject Manager: {vocalsound} Tomatoes . {vocalsound}Marketing: a different shapeIndustrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface:{vocalsound}Marketing: or {vocalsound} okay , not the example I would choose , but you know what I mean to t sort of {disfmarker} and th apparently the feelof the next couple of years is spongy ,Project Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Mm . {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound} I like it , I like it .{vocalsound}Marketing: uh not something I I've come up with a {gap} though if we can get around to getting piloting , I thought maybe a casing option like uhnot like a skin , but like a holder almost if you could do like um , leather options or wood options or something {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Hmm . I shouldhave mentioned this um . As far as the rubber that we can use {disfmarker} we can use a rubber as part of the case ,Marketing: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: ithas a consistency of those stress balls .User Interface: Yes .Marketing: Mm . {vocalsound}Project Manager: Slick , slick .User Interface: Fabulous .Marketing:Might be an interesting way to go . Um , yeah so something to sit on for now . So overall I think we should stick with what we're finding , everyone's looking foreasy to use , technologically innovative and this fancy new {disfmarker} I think perhaps the double curve thing and maybe this rubber option is our best way togo for right now .Industrial Designer: Mm .Marketing: {vocalsound} Um .Project Manager: Interface , oh the interface graphics for the um{disfmarker}Marketing: {vocalsound} Yeah . Um . Well I d but then if the touch screen thing isn't gonna work out for us that's really a non-issue .ProjectManager: Yeah .Industrial Designer: I like the idea of of rubber too because it's {disfmarker} tends to be associated with being durable , something that you can"}

OK , cuz I checked my mail . I didn't have anything .Grad B: So , does anyone have any a agenda items other than me ?I actually have one more also which is to talk about the digits .Professor A: Uh , right , so {disfmarker} so I {disfmarker} I was just gonna talk briefly about theNSF ITR .PhD C: Mm - hmm . Yeah .Grad B: Oh , great .Professor A: Uh , and then , you have {disfmarker}Postdoc F: Can wProfessor A: I mean , I won't saymuch , but {disfmarker} {comment} uh , but then , uh , you said {disfmarker} wanna talk about digits ?Grad B: I have a short thing about digits and then uh Iwanna talk a little bit about naming conventions , although it 's unclear whether this is the right place to talk about it . So maybe just talk about it very briefly andtake the details to the people who {disfmarker} for whom it 's relevant .Professor A: Right .PhD C: Yeah .Postdoc F: I could always say something abouttranscription . I 've been {disfmarker} {vocalsound} but {disfmarker} but {disfmarker} uh , well {disfmarker}Professor A: Well if we {disfmarker} Yeah , weshouldn't add things in just to add things in . I 'm actually pretty busy today ,Postdoc F: Yeah .Professor A: so if we can {disfmarker} {comment} {vocalsound}we {disfmarker}Postdoc F: Yeah , yeah , yeah .Professor A: a short meeting would be fine .Postdoc F: This does sound like we 're doing fine , yeah . That won'tdo .Grad B: So the only thing I wanna say about digits is , we are pretty much done with the first test set . There are probably forms here and there that aremarked as having been read that weren't really read . So I won't really know until I go through all the transcriber forms and extract out pieces that are in error .So I wa Uh . Two things . The first is what should we do about digits that were misread ? My opinion is , um , we should just throw them out completely , andhave them read again by someone else . You know , the grouping is completely random ,PhD C: Uh - huh .Grad B: so it {disfmarker} it 's perfectly fine to put a{disfmarker} a group together again of errors and have them re - read , just to finish out the test set .Postdoc F: Oh ! By {disfmarker} throw them outcompletely ?Grad B: Um , the other thing you could do is change the transcript to match what they really said . So those are {disfmarker} those are the twooptions .PhD C: Yeah .Postdoc F: Mm - hmm .Professor A: But there 's often things where people do false starts . I know I 've done it , where I say {disfmarker}say a {disfmarker}Grad B: What the transcribers did with that is if they did a correction , and they eventually did read the right string , {comment} you extractthe right string .PhD G: Oh , you 're talking about where they completely read the wrong string and didn't correct it ?PhD E: Yeah .Grad B: Yeah . And didn'tnotice . Which happens in a few places .PhD E: Yeah .PhD G: Ah .PhD C: Yeah .Grad B: So {disfmarker} so {disfmarker}Postdoc F: Well , and s and you 'retalking string - wise , you 're not talking about the entire page ?Grad B: Correct .PhD E: Yeah .Postdoc F: I get it .Grad B: And so the {disfmarker} the twooptions are change the transcript to match what they really said , but then {disfmarker} but then the transcript isn't the Aurora test set anymore . I don't thinkthat really matters because the conditions are so different . And that would be a little easier .PhD G: Well how many are {disfmarker} how {disfmarker} howoften does that happen ?Grad B: Mmm , five or six times .PhD G: Oh , so it 's not very much .Grad B: No , it 's not much at all .PhD G: Seems like we should justchange the transcriptsPhD E: Yeah .Grad B: OK .PhD G: to match .Professor A: Yeah , it 's five or six times out of {pause} thousands ?PhD C: Yeah .Grad B: Fourthousand .Professor A: Four thousand ?PhD C: Four thous Ah ! Four thousand .PhD G: Yeah , it 's {disfmarker}Professor A: Yeah , I would , uh , {vocalsound} takdo the easy way ,PhD G: Yeah .Professor A: yeah .Grad B: OK .PhD C: Yeah .Professor A: It {disfmarker} it 's kinda nice {disfmarker} I mean , wh who knowswhat studies people will be doing on {disfmarker} on speaker - dependent thingsPhD C: Mmm .Professor A: and so I think having {disfmarker} having it all{disfmarker}PhD C: Yeah .Professor A: the speakers who we had is {disfmarker} is at least interesting .PhD G: So you {disfmarker} um , how many digits havebeen transcribed now ?Grad B: Four thousand lines . And each line is between one and about ten digits .PhD G: Four thousand lines ?Grad B: I didn't{disfmarker} I didn't compute the average . I think the average was around four or five .Professor A: So that 's a couple hours of {disfmarker} of , uh , speech ,probably .PhD G: Wow .Grad B: Yep . Yep .Professor A: Which is a yeah reasonable {disfmarker} reasonable test set .PhD C: Mm - hmm .PhD G: Mm - hmm.Grad B: And , Jane , I do have a set of forms which I think you have copies of somewhere .Postdoc F: Mm - hmm . Yeah , true .Grad B: Oh you do ? Oh OK ,good , good .Postdoc F: Mm - hmm . Mm - hmm .Grad B: Yeah , I was just wond I thought I had {disfmarker} had all of them back from you . And then the otherthing is that , uh , the forms in front of us here that we 're gonna read later , were suggested by LizPostdoc F: No , not yet .Grad B: because she wanted to elicitsome different prosodics from digits . And so , uh , I just wanted people to , take a quick look at the instructionsPhD C: Mm - hmm . PhD E: Eight eight two twotwo nine .Grad B: and the way it wa worked and see if it makes sense and if anyone has any comments on it .Professor A: I see . And the decision here , uh , wasto continue with uh the words rather than the {disfmarker} the numerics .Grad B: Uh , yes , although we could switch it back . The problem was O and zero .Although we could switch it back and tell them always to say \" zero \" or always to say \" O \" .Postdoc F: Oh {disfmarker}Professor A: Or neither .PhD C: Yeah.Professor A: But it 's just two thing {disfmarker} ways that you can say it .Grad B: Mm - hmm .Professor A: Right ?Grad B: Sure .Postdoc F: Oh .Professor A: Um{disfmarker} um ,PhD E: Yeah .Professor A: that 's the only thought I have because if you t start talking about these , you know u tr She 's trying to get atnatural groupings , but it {disfmarker} there 's {disfmarker} there 's nothing natural about reading numbers this way .Grad B: Right .Professor A: I mean if yousaw a telephone number you would never see it this way .Grad B: The {disfmarker} the problem also is she did want to stick with digits . I mean I 'm speakingfor her since she 's not here .Professor A: Yeah .Grad B: But , um , the other problem we were thinking about is if you just put the numerals , {comment} theymight say forty - three instead of four three .PhD E: Yeah .PhD G: Mmm .PhD C: Yeah .PhD E: Yeah .PhD C: Yeah .Postdoc F: Well , if there 's space , though ,between them . I mean , you can {disfmarker} With {disfmarker} when you space them out they don't look like , uh , forty - three anymore .PhD E: Yeah .GradB: Well , she and I were talking about it ,Professor A: Yeah .Grad B: and she felt that it 's very , very natural to do that sort of chunking .Professor A: She 's right. It 's {disfmarker} it {disfmarker} it 's a different problem . I mean it 's a {disfmarker} it 's a {disfmarker} it 's an interesting problem {disfmarker} I mean , we've done stuff with numbers before , and yeah sometimes people {disfmarker} If you say s \" three nine eight one \" sometimes people will say \" thirty - nineeighty - one \" or \" three hundred {disfmarker} three hundred eighty - nine one \" , or {disfmarker} I don't think they 'd say that ,PhD C: Yeah .Professor A: but{disfmarker} but thGrad B: Not very frequentlyProfessor A: no {disfmarker}Grad B: but , {vocalsound} they certainly could .Professor A: But {disfmarker} Yeah. Uh , th thirty - eight ninety - one is probably how they 'd do it .Grad B: So . I mean , this is something that Liz and I spoke aboutProfessor A: But {disfmarker} Isee .Grad B: and , since this was something that Liz asked for specifically , I think we need to defer to her .Professor A: Mm - hmm .PhD C: Yeah .Professor A: OK. Well , we 're probably gonna be collecting meetings for a while and if we decide we still wanna do some digits later we might be able to do some different verdifferent versions ,Grad B: Do something different ,Professor A: but this is the next suggestion ,Grad B: yeah .Professor A: so . OK . OK , so uh e l I guess , let me, uh , get my {disfmarker} my short thing out about the NSF . I sent this {disfmarker} actually this is maybe a little side thing . Um , I {disfmarker} I sent towhat I thought we had , uh , in some previous mail , as the right joint thing to send to , which was \" M {disfmarker} MTG RCDR hyphen joint \" .Grad B: It was .Joint . Yep .Professor A: But then I got some sort of funny mail saying that the moderator was going to {disfmarker}Grad B: It 's {disfmarker} That 's becausethey set the one up at UW {disfmarker}Postdoc F: Grad B: that 's not on our side , that 's on the U - dub {comment} side .Professor A: Oh .Grad B: And so U -UW set it up as a moderated list .Postdoc F: Yeah .Professor A: Oh , OK .Grad B: And , I have no idea whether it actually ever goes to anyone so you might justwanna mail to MariProfessor A: No {disfmarker} no , th I got {disfmarker} I got , uh , little excited notes from Mari and Jeff and so on ,Grad B: and{disfmarker}Professor A: so it 's {disfmarker}Grad B: OK , good .Professor A: Yeah .Grad B: So the moderator actually did repost it .Professor A: Yeah .Grad B:Cuz I had sent one earlier {disfmarker} Actually the same thing happened to me {disfmarker} I had sent one earlier . The message says , \" You 'll be informed \"and then I was never informed but I got replies from people indicating that they had gotten it , so .Professor A: Right .Grad B: It 's just to prevent spam.Professor A: I see .

This thing we are gonna um uh design is a new remote control .Uh should be original {vocalsound} , trendy , and , of course , user friendly .Marketing: Mm-hmm . {vocalsound} {vocalsound}Project Manager: So maybe youwanna make some notes of that .Marketing: Okay .Project Manager: Okay ?Marketing: Mm-hmm .Project Manager: All right . {vocalsound} Here is what thefunctional design is supposed to achieve . Um . That is it's gonna be individual work and then at the meeting we'll discuss what uh we have come up with . Thesame goes for the conceptual design , there will be individual work whic and then discussion afterwards . Detailed design , same thing basically .Marketing: Mm'kay so {disfmarker} Three different types of design that we're gonna be concerned with okay .Project Manager: Mm-hmm . Mm-hmm .Marketing: Functional ,conception and detailed .Project Manager: I can't write with this thing . {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound} Maybe we should redesign it . {vocalsound}ProjectManager: {vocalsound} Yes . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: After we've finished the remote control we'll get to that .ProjectManager: {vocalsound} Yeah , okay . All right ? Then , tool training try out the white board , participant can draw their favourite animal . Does anybody want togo and see how the white board works ? So that in case we have to , in the next meeting , present something on the white board . You wanna go Eileen and{disfmarker}Marketing: Okay , I'll see what I can do .Project Manager: Whether you {disfmarker} without hanging yourself . {vocalsound}Marketing: See if I rSee if I remember how to draw a kitty cat or a rabbit or something . {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing:{vocalsound}Project Manager: And remember you have to press so it works .Marketing: So that it will record okay .Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Marketing: Umuh um traditional kitty cat .Project Manager: {vocalsound} Fat , a fat cat . {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound} I've a very fat cat.Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound} And it likes to sit likethat .Project Manager: Okay .Marketing: Okay .Project Manager: And you're Francine , right ? Would you like s like just to see um how it feels , so that you have alittle idea ?User Interface: Yes , I'm Francina . Yes , sure . {vocalsound}Project Manager: In {disfmarker}Marketing: Am I supposed to wipe off that or{disfmarker}Project Manager: No , no . No , that's okay .User Interface: No , Okay .Marketing: okay .Project Manager: I don't know , we'll get to that later.Marketing: Okay .User Interface: What should I draw ? {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} {vocalsound} Snake .User Interface: I'm going to draw asnake . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound} Okay .User Interface: How does it look like ? {vocalsound}IndustrialDesigner: {vocalsound}Marketing: Uh , okay .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound} Okay .Marketing: I hope the kitty cat is hungry'cause I don't like snakes . {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} {vocalsound}ProjectManager: Here's the project finance uh which , of course , we all have to think about when we design this thing . Um selling price is supposed to be twenty fiveEuro . Uh profit aim for the company is fifty million Euro ,Marketing: Mm-hmm . {vocalsound}Project Manager: the market range unlimited meaninginternationalMarketing: Okay .Project Manager: and the production cost should not exceed {disfmarker} hopefully should be less than twelve fifty Euro.Marketing: Mm 'kay that should keep everybody on their toes and challenged .Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Marketing: Profit . Um is fifty mm .Project Manager:So these are all things , of course , to remember with the budget and when you design {vocalsound} to materials , cost , etcetera . Now , uh the discussion Iguess is um does anyone of you have experience with remote control ?Marketing: Oops .Project Manager: I exp I s 'cause we we use 'em {disfmarker} we use'em , right , everyday .Industrial Designer: Yeah , of course , using remote control . Yeah .User Interface: Yes .Project Manager: And um now having used aremote control for years does anybody already have like an idea like things you didn't like with it , things you would like to change , things you would like toimprove with this thing ye any first ideas ? Would you like it to be smaller , bigger ,Industrial Designer: Uh .Project Manager: have more have more buttons on itor maybe clearly {disfmarker} better marked buttons , you know , things like that ?User Interface: Yeah , I {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Yeah .UserInterface: Yes , I I feel that all the remote should be very compact .Industrial Designer: Yeah .Project Manager: Small , right . Mm-hmm .User Interface: Yeah ,those which we get here nowadays it's very long .Project Manager: Mm-hmm .User Interface: And um and it should have multi-purpose . Like uh the remotecontrol which we use for T_V_ , it shou uh it should be used f uh for some other purpose also , like controlling the uh temperature inside the house or forair-conditioners , or for heating system .Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: Audio player . Oh . Okay .Project Manager: So it should be amulti-functional uh gadget that would um control all your household uh uh machines basically .User Interface: Yes , exactly Yes .Industrial Designer: Hmm .UserInterface: Yes .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Divides us {disfmarker}User Interface: Yeah . Exactly .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Yeah . Yeah.Marketing: {vocalsound} At um twelve fifty Euros per {disfmarker} {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}ProjectManager: Well .Marketing: Well who knows if we get a really good designer maybe we can do that .Industrial Designer: Yeah .Marketing: {vocalsound} Wecertainly can try to {disfmarker} I agree with her that to market something successfully it should do some more things .Project Manager: It should be somethingnew {disfmarker} it should be s it it should do something different than than just what we have .Marketing: That's right .Project Manager: Now , of course , theother thing to think there is maybe the design .User Interface: Yeah .Industrial Designer: Yeah , of course .User Interface: Yeah , design should be , yeah{disfmarker} it should be different . All the {disfmarker} almost all the remotes {disfmarker}Project Manager: Like trendy no like f for earlier we saw maybe itshould be something trendy you know . Maybe it should {disfmarker} different colours or materials or you know .User Interface: Yes , exactly .IndustrialDesigner: Yeah , maybe ten {disfmarker} I do yeah , coloursUser Interface: Are different shapes .Industrial Designer: and al shapes also . Yeah .User Interface:Yes .Project Manager: Um so yeah shapes right , you know , like kidney shape feels better in your hand or something , you know .User Interface: Yes .IndustrialDesigner: Yeah of course yeah .Marketing: Yeah okay , friendly shape , that would help .Project Manager: Yeah .Marketing: I think another thing that would helpis um if it beeps when you clap ,Project Manager: Yes .Marketing: because I think one of the big things that happens is people lose them . They can't find it.Project Manager: {vocalsound} That is true ,User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: because they put a newspaper or they put it behind a plant or , weyou know , whatever .Marketing: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Yeah . {vocalsound}Project Manager: And and they {disfmarker} suddenly the phone ringsand they want to turn the T_V_ off and they say , where the hell is my {vocalsound} my remote control yeah ?Marketing: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer:{vocalsound}Project Manager: Well or yeah or if it's really , if it's really in a dark spot that it gives out a a sound or a signal .Marketing: So some {disfmarker}{vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Yeah , some beep or something like that ,Project Manager: Yeah . Mm-hmm .User Interface: Or a bMarketing: Uh so , so it'sreally the beep or , or a light should blink .Industrial Designer: so that we can go {disfmarker}Project Manager: So if lost {disfmarker} If lost uh signal with bthrow signal , you know .User Interface: Should haIndustrial Designer: Yeah .User Interface: A fluorescent signal , yeah .Marketing: Mm 'kay .Industrial Designer:Yeah , maybe it should have a light so that we can , we can just recognise where it is .Project Manager: Exactly , I mean just {vocalsound} that's what I'm saying.Industrial Designer: Yeah , yeah . May not be beep .Project Manager: I'm just saying throw signal meaning just whether it's a beep or whether a light or{disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Beep or uh it's a light , maybe it's a light .Marketing: And do you think a good c c um clue for that is that it would respond to aclap or it would respond to your voice or it would respond {disfmarker} what what should you have to do to make it beep or blink ?Project Manager: Okay , my{disfmarker} my idea is maybe that the minute it's really hidden , in in other words if it's like in a dark spot , uh meaning you know like a newspaper is on top , asweater is on top or it it's behind a plant , at that moment it's it's like , it's like um , what you call it {disfmarker} a light s sensors , you know ?Marketing:"}

Alri alright . We'll see .Project Manager: {vocalsound} Well {disfmarker}User Interface: Oh .Project Manager: {gap} I'll show you thenotes again . Very interesting .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Well you'll you two will uh present us your prototype .Industrial Designer: Yeah.Project Manager: Then um {disfmarker} I guess that's your bit ? I I didn't s see anything about it ,Marketing: Yeah .Project Manager: so {vocalsound} I alreadyuh thought you uh you were {gap} to do that .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: So the you're uh {gap} .Marketing: {vocalsound}ProjectManager: I'll show you how we're going to do with financing this uh design .User Interface: Mm .Industrial Designer: Yeah , that's important too . Yeah .{vocalsound}Project Manager: And then we'll evaluate , after after we have redesigned it .User Interface: {vocalsound} Bit late . {vocalsound}Project Manager:Because uh well we'll see about the costs . Um we'll uh evaluate our p our uh production and then uh we can close .Industrial Designer: Alright .Project Manager:Well the finance uh we'll do later , so um firstly uh {vocalsound} I'll show you the notes . {vocalsound} I don't think it's very interesting . {vocalsound}UserInterface: I think it is .Project Manager: Oh nei . Uh no . {vocalsound} Alright . This is copy paste . So {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: From me of course , yeah.Project Manager: Of course . You had some very strange layout .Industrial Designer: Well from us all , yeah , from all of us . Yeah . {vocalsound} It's a nicechorus , yeah .Project Manager: {vocalsound} Well um {disfmarker}User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: We ge we wentthrough the agenda ,Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: and well we had some uh some presentations from you three . And uh I summarisedwhat you said to us . So uh I don't think it's very interesting and go through it again .Industrial Designer: Repeat it yeah . Alright .Project Manager: So uh{disfmarker} This is what we decided . It's also copy paste from what we made together . So we still know that .Marketing: Okay .Project Manager: And then uhwe can we can uh use the time better . Well uh next you two will uh present uh the pot prototype for us .Industrial Designer: Alright , we both uh will ?ProjectManager: Yeah .Industrial Designer: Or one of us will ?User Interface: {vocalsound} Alright .Industrial Designer: Uh {disfmarker}User Interface: No you go andI'll uh supplement you .Industrial Designer: Alright . If I make mistakes uh you'll uh {disfmarker}User Interface: {vocalsound} Yeah .Project Manager: Correct .{vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Right . Uh well this is our design .Marketing: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Uh it's pretty uh much uh like uh Mike draw uhdrew uh the in the during the last meeting . With uh the different uh perspectives of it . Uh we'll begin uh with the front . We have of course uh the the roundshape uh the round uh basic shape . Um with uh the upper part being the front . Th So there's this part um {vocalsound} which is made of hard plastic , the front. And uh we're we're using different colours . Of course for the launch we use the basic ugly colours ,Project Manager: {vocalsound} Yeah .Industrial Designer:and later we'll put out uh more interesting covers with different patterns and pictures and everything .Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: Butbasically , different colours , bright colours not black , too dark . Fancy colours . {vocalsound} Um then we have uh the lower part {vocalsound} of the of thedevice . Uh which is of course um part of the back actually , because it's also titanium . You can see it also on the on the on the side view , that only this part isthe front , and the rest of it , the under uh the under side uh of it , yeah , the back side and the lower part of the front is of course titanium made of titanium ,and has the titanium colour of course , the look . Um then we have uh on back on the front uh the logo in the upper corner ,Project Manager: Mm .IndustrialDesigner: uh which is uh made uh which is also part of the back , part of the titanium uh titanium part .User Interface: Yeah , it's a double R_ , but{disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Yeah ?User Interface: It's a double R_ .Industrial Designer: It's a double R_ . Yeah the logo {disfmarker}User Interface: But{vocalsound} it's very difficult to to draw that in {disfmarker} Yeah .Project Manager: Yeah , alright .Industrial Designer: Uh uh it's difficult to draw so small , butit's our double R_ uh logo is in there .Project Manager: Okay . Yeah .Industrial Designer: Um so that's the logo in the upper lef uh right corner . Then we have thebuttons . Uh it's difficult to draw again the little oval or round {disfmarker} I think oval will be better for the for the d for the different uh channel buttons .UserInterface: Oval yeah .Project Manager: Alright .Industrial Designer: So {gap} uh oval , n those are here . And then we have the m The mUser Interface: Channelup and volume ?Industrial Designer: Yeah the the con the the the , yeah , the t volume and the channel controls uh in the middle here . Um um with kind of arrowshapes , which makes it also a bit more exciting than basic round or um uh {vocalsound} uh square buttons . And also here are the two uh buttons we agreed on. We have the Okay button . Oh nei we uh the Okay button's here in the middle of the of the operators , of the channel and uh volume um changers .ProjectManager: Mm-hmm .User Interface: Yeah .Industrial Designer: And then we've here the Menu button and the {disfmarker}Project Manager: Alright .UserInterface: Menu for the L_C_D_ screen .Industrial Designer: And the video button . The {disfmarker}Project Manager: So {disfmarker}Marketing: Mm right .UserInterface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Yeah . And of course this low part , this is the L_C_D_ screen .Project Manager: 'Kay .Industrial Designer: Uh this iswhat we made of it . You can make uh suggestions uh if you want .Project Manager: Well if I look at it , the side the side view {disfmarker}User Interface: Well ,at the back {disfmarker} {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Maybe we maybe we should finish first uh our talkUser Interface: Yeah .Industrial Designer: and thenyou can add suggestions .Project Manager: Oh yeah alright . Yeah {gap} .Industrial Designer: Maybe I I don't want to {disfmarker} {vocalsound} I don't want tosuppress you but n I'll uh finish this uh quick .Project Manager: {gap}Industrial Designer: Um okay I've had everything I guess on the front ?User Interface: Nothe back . With the logo and our uh l uh {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Yeah the back . Yeah . {vocalsound} We thought about {disfmarker} Yeah , uh theback is of course totally titanium . {vocalsound} And we thought about the logo big in the middle .Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: Just so againthe double R_ . We have then the logo on front and on the back .Marketing: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: Maybe that's too muchProject Manager: Okay.Industrial Designer: but you have to say uh say that if you think that way .User Interface: No I don't think {disfmarker} And the {disfmarker}IndustrialDesigner: And the company slogan , we thought in a kind of arc shape uh above the logo .Project Manager: Yeah .Marketing: Yeah .Industrial Designer: That'sbasically what we were thinking about ,Project Manager: {vocalsound} Okay .Industrial Designer: and {disfmarker}Project Manager: WUser Interface: And aboutthe side view um {disfmarker} This the front won't be as thick ,Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface: but again th the the drawing technique makes itvery difficult to to really uh {disfmarker}Project Manager: Well I see , but {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Oh and uh before I forget . Yeah the the voice , ofcourse ,Project Manager: Well . Yeah I see it .Industrial Designer: the voice recorder is uh at the bottom .Project Manager: Yes .Industrial Designer: And you canrecord it uh using , yeah , the the the back of the f w device .Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: When I look at uh when I look at this side view , I think wwhen I have that in my hand , it's terrible .User Interface: Well , it won't be visible . Mm ?Project Manager: If if you look if if this this is thick , and this is thin , thth then it that it lies over your hands . But {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Why ? {vocalsound} Well it fits uh it it it it fits the hand , {vocalsound}UserInterface: Yeah .Industrial Designer: mean uh the the the the {disfmarker}Project Manager: Well what what what I what I agree is that when uh when um youhave such of uh an arc in the middle , so that the the a the ends and the fronts is a bit thicker , so th then it falls over your hands .Marketing: Yeah , I agree .UserInterface: {gap} If y {vocalsound} If you handle a remote , you you usually don't have your hand straight like this .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} In themiddle in the {disfmarker}User Interface: You you have it a bit uh {disfmarker} Yeah .Marketing: It depends on the size . If it's kinda small , this is is great . Butif it's it's larger , then you want to grab it .Project Manager: And how large is it ?User Interface: Yeah .Marketing: Yeah , that's the question .Industrial Designer:That's the question .Project Manager: {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Uh well {disfmarker} Yeah . H What do you suggest I meanwe do ? {gap} This was Mike's prototype ,Project Manager: Well uh {disfmarker}Marketing: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: and y you seemed to agreed on it.Project Manager: Well the sides I haven't seen yet , uh {gap} ?Industrial Designer: But now you have a totally different {gap} .User Interface: Well , they laythere all the time .Industrial Designer: The size ? Yeah well the size doesn't really matter w I mean {disfmarker}Project Manager: They the the the the the sideview ,Industrial Designer: Side ? Uh oh the side ?Project Manager: we didn't uh {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: W we we he drew the s the side ,User Interface:Yeah yeah .Industrial Designer: but you d you weren't paying attention as usual .Project Manager: {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer:Well any case , we'll discuss it now . Uh I think uh this is a pretty good uh good idea {gap} .Marketing: Yeah , I agree with the L_C_D_ screen . You have it inyour palm like this , and you can watch uh watch the screen . And if you have it li in the middle , your hand might be over it .Project Manager: Yeah .UserInterface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: But you you hold it like this .User Interface: Yeah you you don't you don't grab it ,Industrial Designer: You're notholding it like this or something .User Interface: you you {disfmarker} {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: You , yeah , y How do you call it ? Yeah .ProjectManager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Well y y y you don't have it like this .Project Manager: No no no .Industrial Designer: You have it more like this .UserInterface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {gap} You you you're using buttons this way , or if you're right-handed , this way .Marketing: Like you're holdingyour telephone .Project Manager: Yep .User Interface: Yeah .Industrial Designer: So you {disfmarker} Yeah .

We have to evaluate the product yet .Marketing: Okay .Project Manager: Sorry .Marketing: That's uh um {disfmarker} {gap} That can be none . Um , wegonna do the evaluation now , together . But I have uh a introduction how it works . So , it will come up . Uh-oh . Okay . Um , yeah . Well , we uh {disfmarker}uh , I have um thinked a few evaluation uh criterias , uh based on um our marketing strategy , on uh the latest trends , on user preferences . Uh , we have aseven point scale from uh true , as well . To false , seven ? And on base of each c uh criteria , we need to um give a rating . We can uh {disfmarker} Well , it looklike this . But we gonna uh do it here , they said . {vocalsound} So , you hope found out how to do it with a Word document . Yeah . Okay , yeah . Yeah . Um ,well uh we have the Word documentProject Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Criteria .Marketing: You {disfmarker}{gap} So we open up that blank here . Um {disfmarker} {vocalsound} Think I can {disfmarker} Uh , what this just an example . So , this not very important .But um , if I can get a number in here . Hmm .Project Manager: No , it's okay .Marketing: Well , uh we can't do that .Industrial Designer: I'll get it .ProjectManager: Oh , it's okay .Marketing: Um , so uh you have to think of it as uh the remote control is techno technologically innovative . Uh , and then we have to uhagree on the rating together . And in the end , we will c uh count an average of all rating . The first uh on each item .Project Manager: What do you think?Marketing: Yeah , I think it's uh {disfmarker} {vocalsound} Uh , well technologically using , it's not uh {disfmarker} it doesn't contain many new features . Onlythe L_C_D_ . So , it {disfmarker} Um , I think I will give it a {disfmarker} yeah , yeah , yeah {gap} , a four . Hmm .Industrial Designer: I think the scroll-buttonis something also uh new . What uh {disfmarker} not anoth uh ,Marketing: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: not a lot of uh {disfmarker} a lot of uh remotecontrols have . I think technologically I'll give it an seven . Si six six .Project Manager: {gap} Yeah .Industrial Designer: Sorry , six .Marketing: So now i I thinkyou uh see it {gap} um its statement .Industrial Designer: Oh , true or false .Marketing: And you {gap} true or false .Industrial Designer: Oh , uh I'll I'll give ituh a t a two .Marketing: And true is one . So , yeah . Yeah .Project Manager: Two .Industrial Designer: Sorry .Project Manager: You ?User Interface: Three.Project Manager: Me too . So it's a three .Marketing: 'Kay . Um , well {disfmarker} It's a one . {vocalsound} The first item . So , okay the second item . Um , thisproduct is for all sorts of customers .User Interface: Mm {disfmarker}Marketing: Well , it's a statement which uh I disagree with , because we uh really aim uh atat young market and I think the way it looked uh c uh totally in yellow , it's not uh really aimed for all customers . It doesn't look like that .Project Manager: Soit's a {disfmarker}Marketing: That's uh a six .Industrial Designer: Five .User Interface: Mm , four .Project Manager: Yes , it's for the younger g group . So it's uhhalf half of the people .User Interface: Yeah , but it's it's {disfmarker}Project Manager: So I think it's four .User Interface: Yeah . I mean it still has l large buttonsand not m many buttons .Project Manager: No .User Interface: So {disfmarker} I mean , the colours are for young people ,Industrial Designer: Mm-hmm .UserInterface: butProject Manager: Yes . So , I think it's four .User Interface: older {disfmarker}Marketing: {vocalsound}User Interface: Yeah .Industrial Designer:Maybe version uh three point O_ uh {disfmarker} {vocalsound} has other colours . {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound} Yeah .Maybe .Project Manager: Okay . Give it a four .Industrial Designer: Four .Project Manager: Yep .Marketing: Four . Uh , okay . Mm .Project Manager: We put thefashion in electronics .Marketing: That's uh the motto of our company . Yeah , well do we do this with uh this product ? I um {disfmarker} Yeah . I think if we dothis , as it's uh uh c uh it's really orientates on the design . Um , so I would give it a two .Industrial Designer: Me too a two , because only the battery is not uhtechin uh technologically high standard . But the rest of it is . So , I think a two .Project Manager: {vocalsound}User Interface: Yes . Two .Project Manager: Uh , Isay uh a five .Marketing: Two .Project Manager: It's not fashion , it's new . It must be a fashion . But it isn't .Industrial Designer: It {disfmarker} it will be fashion.Project Manager: Yes . It w If it's not a fashion we can put it in it . So , it must be a fashion . I think it's a five .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}ProjectManager: {vocalsound}Marketing: Uh {disfmarker} {vocalsound} Okay .User Interface: Then make it th three .Marketing: Okay . Yes , I'll think of that too.Project Manager: No . Oh .Industrial Designer: 'Kay . Three is okay .Marketing: Yeah , agree ?Project Manager: I use my feet though . {vocalsound}UserInterface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Oh , we'll wait outside .Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound}Marketing:{vocalsound} A three .Project Manager: Okay .User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: Yeah okay .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager:{vocalsound}Marketing: The next element um is the product looks good .

Okay .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}ProjectManager: {vocalsound}Marketing: So , well we gonna do the next part . Uh , yep . Uh uh , the next statement . It has not too much buttons . Um , yeah , I I haveuh said is not because uh a low number is better . And in the end we calculate an average . So , um that's why it's a negative in it . Um , well this one of our aimsnot have too much buttons . So , um uh did we uh do that ? Well , uh if we go to {vocalsound} uh this fashion , I {disfmarker} We still have caused uh a lot of uhbuttons for the numbers . But you can you can go for that . And um that way , you don't have a lot of buttons over . So , I would give this a two .IndustrialDesigner: One .Project Manager: {vocalsound} You ?User Interface: One . {vocalsound}Project Manager: Me too .

Uh so we will seeour three presentations . Um we will start with the uh Manager Expert wi who will talk about uh user re requirements , whats user needs and what it desire forthis devi device .Marketing: Okay , can I have the laptop over here , or ?Project Manager: Yep . Oh , I don't think so . I think you have to come here .Marketing:Okay . Have to get up . {vocalsound}Project Manager: I dunno . I think it should stay .Marketing: Excuse me .Industrial Designer: Yeah , that's it .ProjectManager: {gap}Marketing: {vocalsound} Okay .Project Manager: Should stay in the square here . {vocalsound}Marketing: Okay .Project Manager: Oh , maybe.Marketing: Okay , so basically I'm gonna present some findings of a study we conducted uh into uh what users want in this remote control .Project Manager: Oh, you can put it here . Oh that's okay , it's jusMarketing: Um so first of all we {disfmarker} what we did is we um conducted a an experiment with a hundred testsubjects . Um we put them in a in our um usability laboratory and got them to , you know , um play with remote controls , and also to complete , after they'ddone that , to complete a questionnaire uh to tell us what they like and what they don't like in remote controls . {vocalsound} {vocalsound} So basically um themajor things we found out was that um basically users don't like the look and feel of of most remote controls that are currently on the market . Um they , youknow , seventy five percent of the people we we uh did the experiments on , found that rem remote the remote controls that they'd used in the past were ugly .Completely ugly . Um they they didn't match the operating behaviour of the user , that is , you know , the the way users use remote controls when they'rewatching T_V_ . Um , that the layout of the remote controls didn't match they way that they used it . Um and thirdly they say that w half of the users that we umtested said that they only used ten percent of the buttons that uh are on remote controls . Um so we collect we also some collected some usage statistics uhbased on how these test subjects were using their remote control . And from this we basically came up with the figure that the channel buttons , the channelselection buttons are the most {disfmarker} by far the most used buttons on the remote control . Um and you can see they're used a hundred and sixty eighttimes per hour on average , um , while the user's watching T_V_ .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound}Marketing: Um the closestbutton that was used , well the cl the button that was used that was closest to the channel button was the teletext button , um which was used fourteen times perhour , followed by the volume button , which was four times per hour , um , all the other , all the other um buttons , such as ch um audio and picture selectionum configuration buttons and things were used , you know , l approx well less than or equal to one times per hour . Um we also asked users um which buttonshad the most importance to them , you know , which which buttons they felt were the most important buttons on on the remote control . And basically they came{disfmarker} they said the channel , volume , and power buttons had the highest relevance to users , um note that only power was very infrequently used , itonly had a b a a fr usage frequency of about one times per hour , but users ranked it as having a very very high relevance . Um and the audio and picture settingshad a very {disfmarker} that well the users thought that um w the audio and picture settings were very uh weren't very important to them um , and they usedthem very infrequently a as well . {vocalsound} So we asked users what what um frustrates them the most about um current remote controls . And fifty percentof the users said that uh what frustrates them is losing the remote control um somewhere in the room and not being able to find it . Um {vocalsound} they alsosaid that it um it takes a lot of time to learn a new remote control , especially when there's many buttons and it's a , you know , a c a a unintuitive interface . Umand then thirdly , they {disfmarker} some users commented on the fact that the the you know the way that you have to hold and press buttons on a remotecontrol ar are bad and um cause u repetitive strain injury . {vocalsound} We also asked some users about some specific features that they'd like to see in the{disfmarker} on the remote control . In particular , do they want an L_C_D_ d display , and secondly , do they think speech recognition uh is a useful feature tohave on a remote control .Project Manager: {vocalsound}Marketing: Um basically our findings are that um amongst a younger age groups uh the answer is umvoverwhelmingly yes . They want these features , they want these high technology features .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: Um for instance , ninetyone percent of pe of people aged between fifteen and twenty five said yes , they want these features . Whereas um {vocalsound} the the trend was as users asusers um became older and older uh they were less likely to want these sort of features in a um in a remote control . So I guess it depends on where we'refocusing our our market . Um and as our company motto is putting fashion in electronics , um I think we're focusing on the younger younger um targetdemographic , and so maybe we should think about adding these sort of high technology features into our remote control .Project Manager: Hmm .Marketing:That's my dic that's my presentation . Thank you .Project Manager: Thank you .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface: Okay .Project Manager: So , ummaybe now we can talk about a user interface and uh about the technical function of this device . So uh Pet Peter , can you talk say something about that?Industrial Designer: Well , okay , yeah . Yeah , but the user user interface is responsible .Project Manager: No .User Interface: B you think uh I I'm UserInterface Manager .Project Manager: Ah .Industrial Designer: Okay , so {gap} .Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound} Sorry , I'm {disfmarker}Sorry . Sorry .User Interface: {vocalsound} Okay . Okay .Project Manager: {gap}User Interface: If I could go there with this cable .Industrial Designer: You'rescaring me with L_C_D_ man . And speech recognition in remote unit , it will be very e expensive .Marketing: {vocalsound} Yeah , it's true , but , you know ,they're features that users want ,Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: so it's {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Yeah .Marketing: And our production costof twelve fifty Euros per per unit is fairly high I think ,User Interface: {gap}Industrial Designer: Yeah .Marketing: so I think we can afford to to add these sort offeatures into our remote .Industrial Designer: At least we have couple of months t to work on it so so it will be cheaper finally . {vocalsound}User Interface:{vocalsound} Sh okay . {gap}Marketing: It is true .User Interface: Where's delete button ? Okay . Oh I'm sorry . {vocalsound} {gap}Industrial Designer:{vocalsound}Project Manager: {gap}User Interface: {gap} Okay .Marketing: That's the wrong one , I think .Project Manager: Yeah , it's still Bob Morris .UserInterface: Oh . Presentation three ?Project Manager: {vocalsound} Yeah you should have put yes .Industrial Designer: Because you cancelled it . Yeah .ProjectManager: Click on yes .User Interface: Oh . {vocalsound}Project Manager: {gap} yeah .Industrial Designer: Yep .User Interface: Okay , so here is mypresentation about technical function design . I will talk about different components and s of system and how they react together . Okay , uh , first what is aremote control ? Simply it's a device , as you know , for uh , for sending some commands by some waves to uh another device to to tell different commands uhwith this device . And the main idea we don't use any cable and we can rec react simpler with the device . Uh i it has different blocks , different blocks . Uh first isremote control have sh ha should have some electric circuits uh making interface with uh keyboard and uh r reading uh keyboard and reading the keyboard uhcommands . And then inter then make uh these keyboard commands , uh in interpret these int uh keyboard commands . And then there should be uh anelectronic circuit making uh electronic signals according to these commands and uh finally there is a transmitter which is a cord or a a diode making uh making uhwaves to transmit through the air and uh uh this air this uh wave uh will be received by the by the other device like a television or whatever , to uh r to realise thecommand . Okay , {vocalsound} uh about {disfmarker} what I found about uh different uh these different blocks are uh , usually there are two different methodsuh to {disfmarker} for designing a remote control . They are based on infra-red uh waves or uh uh radio waves .Industrial Designer: You still want me thepresentation .User Interface: There are two different uh uh solutions I mean . This is uh this can be uh uh the the differences the th between different kind ofwaves , infra-red or radio waves . And uh also as uh I understood , and uh I think it was a part of uh Bob , uh uh presentation , people prefer to have uh to haveuh the remote control with less button . So for the electronic part , working and interfacing , with button , we should we should try to t try to design a remotecontrol having uh some some simpler buttons or some rolling buttons to just to just to search between different options , and showing o something on T_V_ andputting less lesser stuff on the uh on the remote control . And uh personal preferences , uh uh uh uh certainly a remote control with {disfmarker} uh working withradio waves is uh preferred because uh you can pr you can take it in any direction and you don't need to tune it any way . And uh uh again , using bigger buttonsand less number of buttons are also preferred , as I see . Okay . That was my presentation .Marketing: Okay . I have a question .User Interface: Uh-huh.Marketing: Do you think radio waves um will interfere with other appliances in the home ?User Interface: Uh , I don't think so , because uh we can make uh weca we can make this wave in a specific frequency . So they can be in a range which is not inter interfering with the {vocalsound} with other devices inside thehome .Marketing: Okay .Project Manager: So can we use any any frequency ?Industrial Designer: Yeah , it should be okay {gap} .Project Manager: We have theright to use any frequency ?User Interface: Uh no but as I know , there is a range for uh for this uh f for for uh for this stuff , for designing this circuit . We can wecan we can tune our uh transmitter to work in this range , and for this range we don't need to ask any permission .Project Manager: Okay . And what happen withuh radio waves when two neighbours have the same {disfmarker} have our remote control , for example ? And so do they have the same frequency , or ?UserInterface: Uh for this I'm not uh I I don't know the solution , but one solution can be something like putting uh p password or something inside the wave , so theonly your T_V_ can understand itProject Manager: Okay .

We've received apologies for absence from SuzyDavies and there is no substitute. Janet Finch-Saunders is joining us from the Assembly offices in Colwyn Bay via video conference. Can I ask Members if thereare any declarations of interest, please? No. Okay. Item 2, then, this morning is a post-legislative scrutiny session on the Higher Education (Wales) Act 2015. I'mvery pleased to welcome Kirsty Williams AM, Minister for Education, and Huw Morris, who is director of the skills, higher education and lifelong learning group inWelsh Government. Thank you, both, for attending, and thank you for the paper that you provided in advance. I will just start the questioning by asking whetheryou are planning to repeal the 2015 higher education Act, or will it be amended by the post-compulsory education and training Bill?Kirsty Williams AM: Thank youvery much, Chair. I'm very pleased to be with the committee again this morning, although it's in slightly unusual circumstances. As a piece of post-legislativescrutiny, this was a Bill that was taken forward by a different Minister in a different administration, but I think it is really valuable work in the context of thequestion you just set out: what can we learn from the implementation of this piece of legislation as we move forward with our reform journey and with thisGovernment and my proposals to introduce a new commission for tertiary education? There is much, at the moment, that lies within the 2015 Act that we willlook to bring forward into the new legislation, but there are certainly experiences—and I'm sure we'll come on to some of the evidence that has been receivedabout what's worked, what perhaps hasn't worked—that we all want to reflect on and be mindful of as we take forward the new Bill, including the report of thiscommittee as part of it. So, it is our intention that this Bill will be superceded by the new PCETR Bill.Lynne Neagle AM: Okay, thank you. We've got a series ofquestions now from Siân Gwenllian.Sian Gwenllian AM: Good morning. Do you believe that the Act has fulfilled all the Government's objectives? Where are theweaknesses?Kirsty Williams AM: Diolch yn fawr, Siân. As I've said, it's a bit difficult to place myself in the mind of the previous Minister when this legislation wasfirst envisaged and then taken through. You'll be aware that there were four main reasons for the introduction of the Bill: around regulation of institutions inWales; safeguarding the contribution made to public good arising from Welsh Government's financial support for the sector; maintaining a focus on fair access;and preserving and protecting the principle of institutional autonomy. I think the evidence that has been received by the committee to date shows that there aredifferent views about the effectiveness of whether all four strategic aims have been achieved. I think those strategic aims are still really, really important andcertainly will underpin our thought process going forward, but we have to recognise the higher education and research Bill across the border in England, theimplementation of new student support measures in Wales, as well as the report that was done by Ellen Hazelkorn, I think, means it is appropriate that we moveforward with different proposals, not just regulation of the HE sector but the post-compulsory sector as a whole. We will look to see what we can do to strengthenor whether there is more that we need to do to achieve those four objectives, because I think those four objectives are still very, very relevant. But we have tohave legislation now that is fit for the circumstances we currently find ourselves in and, hopefully, futureproofs us for how we want to see the sector develop inthe future.Sian Gwenllian AM: Do you feel perhaps that the legislation itself hasn't been strong enough, and that you then have had to drive some of theseobjectives through the annual remit letter, rather than through legislation, and that's why the strengthening is required?Kirsty Williams AM: Certainly, I see theremit letter as a really, really important way in which national priorities and the priorities of an elected Government can be clearly stated, communicated to theHigher Education Funding Council for Wales, and then HEFCW use their powers to ensure that that happens. So, certainly, I see the remit letter as being a veryimportant mechanism for ensuring, as I said, that those national priorities are clearly articulated, and then change happens.Sian Gwenllian AM: Has the currentlegislation been framed around institutional autonomy so that it's not possible for institutions to fulfil any national outcomes, and is that going to be an element ofthe new Bill?Kirsty Williams AM: Well, certainly, the 2015 Act contains numerous provisions that protect universities' privileges and autonomy. And that's reallyimportant, and those are principles that I am committed to in any legislation that I bring forward. We'll certainly be looking to see how we can carry thoseprotections into the forthcoming Bill, but, at the same time, we do have to ensure appropriate regulation and accountability of institutions for their public fundingand the privileges that they enjoy. And I think there are a number of ways in which that can happen. We have a very positive working relationship with the HigherEducation Funding Council for Wales, and I am very fortunate to have a very positive working relationship with the sector. The remit letters are a really importantway in which we can lay out those national priorities. I don't think there's anything in the legislation per se that prevents those national priorities being articulatedand being acted upon.Sian Gwenllian AM: I don't think that's what HEFCW has said in their evidence. They've said that the Bill has been framed in a way whereit's not possible for institutions to fulfil any requirements. You're talking about the remit letter; maybe you need to have that discussion there, but, in terms of theBill itself, you can't make them fulfil any national outcomes. Shouldn't there be a discussion looking to move in a direction where there are national outcomesbeing set through legislation, because there is public money going into that?Kirsty Williams AM: Well, I don't know whether we need national outcomes throughlegislation, because those national priorities, potentially, will change over time. What is really important, and what we will be seeking to do in the new legislation,is look to move to a system of outcome agreements. So, there is a very clear expectation that the commission will have, in regulating the sector, andco-ordinating and funding the sector, to create a system of outcome agreements, where those outputs will reflect national priorities, and that's one of the thingsthat we've consulted on, and will look to take forward in the new legislation.Sian Gwenllian AM: Okay. That's clear enough. What about private providers? TheAct, or the Act as it stands, makes it a requirement for a regulated institution to be a charity, and that means it's not possible to regulate alternative privateproviders under the Act, even though they can provide higher education in Wales. What is your view on this, and will the new legislation continue with therequirement of being a charity?Kirsty Williams AM: Okay. So, I think, first of all, it's important to make the distinction between the scale of private providers, andwhat could be termed as 'unregulated providers' in the Welsh system, as opposed to the English system. And I think that's a really important distinction to make.So, currently, under the current legislation, unregulated providers can only access Welsh Government student support if they're designated on a case-by-casebasis. So, we do have a circumstance where—and a process in place, to manage this. So, we have a specific designation policy, which is operated on our behalf byHEFCW. Only six organisations were designated on a case-by-case basis in the 2018-19 academic year, so the scale here is small. Three of those were furthereducation colleges. So, when we talk about a private provider, perhaps people would have a view of a private university, but, actually, three of those were FEcolleges, which we would all be familiar with. And the three private providers were the Centre for Alternative Technology, the training arm of the Church in Walesand the Newport and District Group Training Association. All three of those are actual charities. So, in order for their courses to be specifically designated, thethree crucial questions that those providers have to answer are: quality—is what they’re providing to students of a good quality; the financial viability of theinstitution, again, to try to protect the interests of the students who may find themselves embarking on a course in an institution that isn’t viable; as well as theircontribution to private—sorry, not to private good—public good. And we are considering how that part of the sector will be regulated in the forthcominglegislation. But, Huw, I don't know if there's anything else to add?Huw Morris: Well, just to say that there are a very small number of private providers, as theMinister has outlined, and, in comparison with England, where I think the last figures said that there were between 300 and 400 private providers in England, youget a sense of the differences that exist there. And, if you look at what happened over recent years, it has been those small private providers across the UK whohave been most financially challenged and a number of them have stopped their operations, with consequences for the students. So, we’ve been keen to putstudents at the front of things to make sure that the institutions that they’re enrolling with are strong and have good quality.Sian Gwenllian AM: Okay. So, whatyou're saying is that you will continue with a charitable status, or not—Kirsty Williams AM: At this stage—Sian Gwenllian AM: —or are you still thinking aboutit?Kirsty Williams AM: Well, at this stage, I think the charitable status will continue to be an important part of what we will take forward.Sian Gwenllian AM: Justturning finally to part-time fees and postgraduate fees, do you have an intention to regulate this part in the new legislation?Kirsty Williams AM: I have to say that,at present, we've not identified an urgent reason to designate these courses as qualifying courses for the purposes of a fee limit. And there are a number ofreasons for that. Actually, the current Act—the 2015 Act—does not permit the fee regulation of postgraduate courses, other than PGCE courses for IT purposes. Inthe case of part-time courses, I'm currently content that fee levels are not exceeding the amount of student support made available by the Welsh Government.So, I think we are, at this moment, relaxed about that, and there are some difficulties around deciding and introducing fee limits on postgraduate courses. I thinkwhat's really important to me is the success at the moment of attracting people to postgraduate and part-time study in Wales, as a result of our reforms tostudent finance. But, clearly, we'll need to keep that under review. But, at this current moment, the Act precludes fee regulation in some areas and there's not apressing policy need that we've identified to date.Lynne Neagle AM: Okay. Thank you. Okay, we're going to move on now to some questions about the level ofambition in the higher education Act and any lessons for the PCET Bill, from Janet Finch-Saunders.Janet Finch-Saunders AM: Thank you.

Okay , so {disfmarker} Right well um from the last meeting {vocalsound} I was trying tosend you the minutes , but uh it didn't work out too well , so maybe in sort of um quick summary of the last uh meeting , I can quickly give you what we what wehad .User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Uh right , so {disfmarker} Wishing I hadn't closed the damn {disfmarker} Right so we had the fact that we'regonna have the the logo uh the company logo in its uh colour scheme incorporated onto the the device the remote device . We had uh made our decisions aboutuh made our decisions about uh the device itself , that it was gonna be simple to make it uh enable us to complete the project in time . We're gonna have uheffectively two pages , a front page which had the uh features that the uh the customers most wanted , and then the uh the backup features on the second pageso that it could uh meet the technical requirements . And the customers wouldn't have to look at them too often , only as and when required . So . So basicallywhat decisions uh have we uh made ? Uh have there been any uh changes ?Industrial Designer: I think we all have a presentation again ,Project Manager: Right.Industrial Designer: so if we go through those and then umMarketing: Yeah .Project Manager: Three presentation , yeah .Industrial Designer: {gap} . Shall I gofirst again ? {gap}Project Manager: So {disfmarker} Yeah , fine .Marketing: Okay .Industrial Designer: I see {gap} this a little more smoothly than the last one .{vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Okay right , let's get started . Um basically the uh for the {disfmarker} Um I'll {gap} backactually . For the components design , um next step is basically the the way the remote's gonna work is still the same idea as before . We still have the userinterface which is all the buttons we're gonna incorporate . Then there is a chip and still the sender . So um yes {gap} including the power s supply as well . UmI'll go on to my findings in each of these areas . Uh first in the power supply , we have the option of just the standard battery , um . {vocalsound} There's adynamo . Any of you think of kind of like the the old torches which you wind up {gap} um . There's a kinetic option , which if any of you've seen those newwatches which you kind of you power up by waving around , um it just requires a small amount of movement which would mean the batteries wouldn't have to bereplaced . Um that's one option ,Marketing: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: but I think that was gonna cost a little more . And then there's solar cells . Um as afinal option . For the buttons , we have um an integrated push button , which is {disfmarker} Oh just to say all all these are um supplied by Real Reaction . So Iguess for the ease of for quickness and ease we should take them from at least like one of these options .Project Manager: Okay .Industrial Designer: Um so forthe buttons there's an integrated push button , which I guess is just the same as the standard ones . This says it's uh similar to uh the button on the mouse for anormal {disfmarker} for like uh like modern computer . Um there's a scroll wheel which is {disfmarker} you know the new mouse has just got like the centresection which you can scroll up and down , which may be for the volume .Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: You could do do that .Marketing:Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: Um one issue for the buttons is , depending on which material we use , if we use rubber buttons then it requires a rubber case , sowe have to take that into consideration . Um moving on to the printed sProject Manager: What would be the cost do do we know ?Industrial Designer: Um that'son the next {disfmarker}Project Manager: {gap}Industrial Designer: I th I think the there wasn't too much difference in the cost , that that related to the actualbuttons , but it does affect the printed circuit board . Um which is the next section . Basically for the circuit board which is the middle , it's just {disfmarker} see itdown there the chips like the like the workings of the actual um of the remote .Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: The firm supplies a simple , aregular and an advanced um circuit board . And there's different prices according to each . So if we've got the scroll wheel for one of the buttons , that wouldrequire a slightly more advanced circuit board than if we just had a standard um push button .Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: Um one final thingwe came up with was some information on the speech recognition . There's a small unit available through the company um which obviously would be an extracost , but it wouldn't affect the size of the remote too much . Um and I guess that would require a more advanced circuit board , so there is an extra price in thatsense . There is th sorry an extra cost in that sense . Um going to my personal preferences , um I thought possibly for power we could use kinetic um which is theidea of the watches um that you move you move the remote around to power it up . And this would avoid batteries running out , having to replace batteries andsuch like . Um for the buttons , I thought we'd probably get away with just having the standard um push buttons rather than the scroll wheel . Um and for thecircuit board , again depends on which features we want in the actual in the remote . So if we wanted the scroll wheel and wanted the voice recognition , um thenwe'd have to get a a more costly circuit board . And that's it .Marketing: 'Kay .Project Manager: {gap} with the printed circuit boards you were going for the{disfmarker}User Interface: Thanks . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Um i it kind of depends um if we're gonna have the speech recognition , we'd have toprobably get an advanced one . I'm guessing .Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: Uh but I don't know , so that is something I'll have to look into.Project Manager: But are we going f R right .Industrial Designer: Um that's a that's a decision for all of us . Um .Project Manager: So are we able to make thatdecision now in a sense that this is the point at which we're discussing that issue ,Industrial Designer: Yeah yeah . We decide . Yeah .Marketing: Mm-hmm.Project Manager: so would it not be best to {disfmarker} rather than {disfmarker} I mean one way is to do each of the presentations and then make decisionsgoing back to the various presentations as they were . The other way would be to do the presentationMarketing: Mm-hmm .Project Manager: and then make thedecision at that point in time .Industrial Designer: Um . Maybe wUser Interface: Yeah , that's probably a better one , to discuss it straight away .Project Manager:'Cause at that point then you've got the details up there , so if we wanted to know for instance that the scroll wheel required the regular {gap} and what requiredadvance . Then if we were able to see that down then we could make the decision at that point in timeIndustrial Designer: Um .Project Manager: and then thatwould be the end of that issue . Does that make sense ?Industrial Designer: Yes .User Interface: {vocalsound} Um I have a lot of the information there.Marketing: Mm-hmm .User Interface: It might not be very clear .Industrial Designer: Is there {disfmarker}User Interface: Unless you want to plug it back in toyours .Industrial Designer: Um . We could do , yeah . Um yeah we should {gap} .Project Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: As I say it only specifiedthat we need a more advanced circuit board for the scroll wheel ,Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: it didn't {disfmarker} The voice recognitioncame as a separate piece of information . Um .Project Manager: No the scroll wheel required the regular , so the {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Yeah if if you{gap} down um . It's just this bit at the bottom which I've highlighted ,Project Manager: Hmm .Industrial Designer: but the scroll wheel requires a mini mminimally a regular chip ,Project Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: which is in the higher price range .Project Manager: Okay . The display requires anadvanced chipUser Interface: I think the scroll wheel um {disfmarker}Project Manager: the display requires an advanced chip which in turn is more expense.Industrial Designer: Also the display's for something else which we decided against . Um but that bit {disfmarker}Project Manager: Okay .Industrial Designer:And note that the push button just requires a simple chip , so that would keep the price down .Project Manager: Down .User Interface: Yeah , and if we're goingfor sleek and sexy , I think a scroll wheel is maybe a bit kinda bulky ?Marketing: Mm-hmm .User Interface: I I've got um pictures well I've seen pictures with itkind of sticking off the side of it ,Project Manager: Right . Okay .User Interface: and they don't really look great .Industrial Designer: 'Kay . So maybe just asimple push button , and that would cut costs on the {disfmarker}Project Manager: So . So we're going for p Okay . So {gap} is um {disfmarker}Marketing: Soare we going for the w are we going for the simple one , are we ?User Interface: Yeah , a simple pushbuttons .Project Manager: Simple push button .{vocalsound}Marketing: Okay .Industrial Designer: {gap} Did everyone get this on the speech recognition ? The um it was basically what we said before , theidea that you record in a set message , and then it picks up that message um and replies to you .Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Marketing: Yeah .IndustrialDesigner: So it is basically the concept we discussed before . Um but then we don't know for sure whether it would require a more complicated circuit board.Marketing: {gap}Industrial Designer: I'm guessing it would , but {gap} got like the definite information . Maybe we should go on what we're certain of ratherthan {disfmarker}Project Manager: So if we go for the simple push button , so effectively we're going for the simple printed circuit board are we ? Or are wegoing for the regular ?Industrial Designer: Um if it's just the push button then it just needs the simple circuit board .Project Manager: Mm-mm . But is there anyother {disfmarker} {vocalsound} I mean okay , that's true for the {disfmarker} for for that element , but we have to take all {gap} el elements intoconsideration . And so if there is one element that requires the more expensive one , or say the regular one , or the more advanced , then that would have to bethe same for all of them . SMarketing: Mm .User Interface: Hmm . But {disfmarker}Marketing: I suppose we need we need to find out what circuit board thatrequires , maybe before we {gap} m make a decision .Project Manager: Right .User Interface: But the way that I interpret that um it doesn't seem to send out asignal to the telly , it just {disfmarker} it's like a parrot just rep reply replying to your message .Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Marketing: Oh yeah , I suppose so ,yeah .Industrial Designer: So maybe that would be something separate , yeah .User Interface: So I don't think it would effect our circuit board .Project Manager:No .Marketing: Yeah .Industrial Designer: Okay , so we'd have a simple circuit boardProject Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: and that would be anextra that would be in addition to it .User Interface: Yeah .Industrial Designer: Oh that makes sense .User Interface: And I don't think you could really perform"}

Uh {disfmarker} what {disfmarker} what {disfmarker} what part of town do you live in ?Grad C: Um , I live in , um , the corner of campus . The , um ,southeast corner .Professor F: OK . OK , so would it be easier {disfmarker} those of you who are not , you know , used to this area , it can be very tricky to get tothe airport at {disfmarker} at uh , you know , six thirty . Um . So .

Wednesday .Professor F: so OK , that was the real real important stuff . Um , I {disfmarker} I {disfmarker} I figuredmaybe wait on the potential goals for the meeting uh {disfmarker} until we talk about wh what 's been going on . So , uh , what 's been going on ? Why don't westart {disfmarker} start over here .PhD G: Um . {vocalsound} Well , preparation of the French test data actually .Professor F: OK .PhD G: So , {vocalsound} itmeans that um , well , it is , uh , a digit French database of microphone speech , downsampled to eight kilohertz and I 've added noise to one part , with the{disfmarker} actually the Aurora - two noises . And , @ @ so this is a training part . And then {pause} the remaining part , I use for testing and {disfmarker}with other kind of noises . So we can {disfmarker} So this is almost ready . I 'm preparing the {disfmarker} the HTK baseline for this task . And , yeah .ProfessorF: OK Uh , So the HTK base lines {disfmarker} so this is using mel cepstra and so on , or {disfmarker} ? Yeah . OK .PhD G: Yeah .Professor F: And again , I guessthe p the plan is , uh , to uh {disfmarker} then given this {disfmarker} What 's the plan again ?PhD G: The plan with {pause} these data ?Professor F: With{disfmarker} So {disfmarker} So {disfmarker} Does i Just remind me of what {disfmarker} what you were going to do with the {disfmarker} what {disfmarker}what {disfmarker} what {disfmarker} what 's {disfmarker} y You just described what you 've been doing . So if you could remind me of what you 're going to bedoing .PhD G: Yeah .Professor F: Oh , this is {disfmarker} yeah , yeah .PhD G: Uh , yeah .Grad C: Tell him about the cube .PhD G: Well . The cube ? I should tellhim about the cube ?Grad C: Yeah .Professor F: Oh ! Cube . Yeah .PhD G: Yeah .PhD E: Fill in the cube .PhD G: Uh we {disfmarker} actually we want to , mmm ,Uh , {vocalsound} uh , analyze three dimensions , the feature dimension , the {pause} training data dimension , and the test data dimension . Um . Well , whatwe want to do is first we have number for each {pause} uh task . So we have the um , TI - digit task , the Italian task , the French task {pause} and the Finnishtask .Professor F: Yeah ?PhD G: So we have numbers with {pause} uh {disfmarker} systems {disfmarker} I mean {disfmarker} I mean neural networks trainedon the task data . And then to have systems with neural networks trained on , {vocalsound} uh , data from the same language , if possible , with , well , using amore generic database , which is phonetically {disfmarker} phonetically balanced , and . Um .Professor F: So - so we had talked {disfmarker} I guess we hadtalked at one point about maybe , the language ID corpus ?PhD G: Yeah . So .Professor F: Is that a possibility for that ?PhD G: Ye - uh {disfmarker} {pause}Yeah , but , uh these corpus , w w there is a CallHome and a CallFriend also , The CallFriend is for language ind identification . Well , anyway , these corpus are alltelephone speech . So , um . {vocalsound} This could be a {disfmarker} {pause} a problem for {disfmarker} Why ? Because uh , uh , the {disfmarker} theSpeechDat databases are not telephone speech . They are downsampled to eight kilohertz but {disfmarker} but they are not {vocalsound} uh with telephonebandwidth .Professor F: Yeah . That 's really funny isn't it ? I mean cuz th this whole thing is for {pause} developing new standards for the telephone .Grad C:Telephone .Professor F: Yeah .PhD G: Yeah , but the {disfmarker} the idea is to compute the feature before {pause} the {disfmarker} before sending them tothe {disfmarker} Well , {pause} you don't {disfmarker} do not send speech , you send features , computed on th the {disfmarker} {pause} the device ,ProfessorF: Mm - hmm . Yeah , I know , but the reason {disfmarker}PhD G: or {disfmarker} Well .Professor F: Oh I see , so your point is that it 's {disfmarker} it 's{disfmarker} it 's uh {disfmarker} the features are computed locally , and so they aren't necessarily telephone bandwidth , uh or telephone distortions .PhD G:So you {disfmarker} Yeah . Yeah .PhD A: Did you {pause} happen to find out anything about the OGI multilingual database ?Professor F: Yeah , that 's wh that 'swh that 's what I meant .PhD G: Yeah , it 's {disfmarker}Professor F: I said {disfmarker} @ @ , there 's {disfmarker} there 's {disfmarker} there 's an OGI"}

In accordance withStanding Order 34.19, I determine that the public are excluded from the committee's meeting, in order to protect public health. In accordance with StandingOrder 34.21, notice of this decision was included in the agenda for this meeting, which was published last Friday. This meeting is, however, being broadcast liveon Senedd.tv, with all participants joining via video conference. A record of the proceedings will be published as usual. Aside from the procedural adaptationrelating to conducting proceedings remotely, all other Standing Order requirements for committees remain in place. The meeting is bilingual, and simultaneoustranslation from Welsh to English is available. Can I remind all participants that the microphones will be controlled centrally, so there's no need to turn them onand off individually? Can I ask whether there are any declarations of interest, please? No. Okay. Thank you. Can I just then, again, note for the record that, if, forany reason, I drop out of the meeting, the committee has agreed that Dawn Bowden AM will temporarily chair while I try to rejoin? Item 2, then, this afternoon isan evidence session with the Welsh Government on the impact of the coronavirus epidemic on education in Wales. I'm very pleased to welcome Kirsty WilliamsAM, Minister for Education, Steve Davies, director of the education directorate, and Huw Morris, who is group director, skills, higher education and lifelonglearning. Can I welcome you all and thank you for attending? Minister, I understand you'd like to make a short opening statement.Kirsty Williams AM: Thank youvery much, Lynne. And indeed, if I could just begin by, once again, putting on the record my gratitude to everyone who is helping us get through this pandemic.There are a vast number of people who are keeping our school hubs open, looking after vulnerable children, and the children of key workers. Because of them,and their efforts, those key workers are able to carry on their critical roles in responding to COVID-19. I am extremely proud of the way that members of theschool community have gone above and beyond. They have kept their schools open out of hours, over the weekends, on bank holidays, and Easter. And it isreally heartening and humbling to see the way that they have responded to this crisis. And there are teachers, teaching assistants, and many others, who arehelping our children and their parents to keep learning at home. I know that home schooling isn't easy, so I want to say also thank you to parents and carers fortheir efforts at this time. By keeping their children at home, they are helping us to keep people safe, and reducing pressure on our education system, and on ourNHS. Be in no doubt, we are facing many challenges because of this pandemic. My primary concern is, and always will be, the health and well-being of ourchildren, of our young people, and of all the staff in our education settings. And I am very grateful to everyone who is supporting us in these endeavours. Thankyou very much—diolch yn fawr. And I'm now happy to answer questions that members of the committee may have this afternoon.Lynne Neagle AM: Thank youvery much, Minister. I'm sure that the committee echoes the heartfelt thanks you have just given then. The first questions we've got this afternoon are from HefinDavid.Hefin David AM: Good afternoon, Minister. With regard to your five principles, which you've set out today, regarding when schools will reopen, they're veryclear that they require a judgment from you. So could you outline when you think that schools might reopen?Kirsty Williams AM: Thank you, Hefin. I am veryclear that schools will move to a new phase—because, already, schools are open in many settings; we will move to a new phase when it is safe to do so and whenI have advice from the chief medical officer and the chief scientific officer that it is safe to do so. I have made very clear in my statement that that is notimminent. I know that in some cases there has been speculation that a return to normal could be with us quite shortly. I'm clear that a return to normal is notimminent, and therefore I'm not in a position to give a date as to when we will see more schools opening up to more children.Hefin David AM: Have you beengiven any indication at all by the chief medical officer as to when, in the longer term, it might be?Kirsty Williams AM: No, I have not been given a date. What Ihave done today is publish the principles that will aid me in, as you said, me making a decision. So, clearly, we will be relying on the advice of our medical andscientific advisers, but the principles are very clear. Firstly, we will need to consider any decision to have more children returning to school in the context of thesafety and the physical and the emotional well-being of children and young people and the staff. Obviously, I can't make a decision regarding education inisolation. It will have to be taken in the context of the wider Welsh Government response to dealing with this pandemic. Thirdly, it is absolutely crucial in makingany decisions that we have clearly communicated that to parents and to staff, on the information that we have used to reach any decisions, to build confidence forparents and professionals, but also to give them time to plan. It will be impossible to move quickly to new ways of working. And we also have to look at—and it'sbeen paraphrased quite a lot today—if we are looking at certain groups of children accessing more education within a school setting, which groups they should be.And, finally, how do we operationalise that? How do we make those settings as safe as they possibly can be, and how do we tackle some of the difficult challengesof everything from ensuring that we have adequate numbers of workforce available, to the very real questions about how you would do social distancing in thecontext of education, school transport issues, how you would avoid people gathering at the school gate, for instance? So, there are very practical issues thatwould need to be considered and thought through very, very carefully before we could return, before what we could see is a move from where we are now to thenext phase of education, and new approaches to what schooling may look like. But, again, I must be absolutely clear to you, members of the committee, and topeople watching: it is not feasible, in this sense, that we would move from where we are now to what all of us would regard as normal education and what theoperation of schools looked like before the start of this pandemic.Hefin David AM: So, what is clear from what you've said is that it's going to be phased return. Iwould assume that would be the most vulnerable—perhaps additional learning needs pupils would return first. Just reading some of the things that you've saidtoday, can you answer that question? And can I also ask: you said that guiding principle No. 3 will be having the confidence of parents, staff and students, basedon evidence and information, so they can plan ahead. What will that evidence and information be, and how will you know that you've got the confidence ofparents to return?Kirsty Williams AM: Well, as I said, primarily, we will need to take a lead from our scientific and medical advisers. I want to also say that we areobviously working on a four-nation basis and keeping in very close contact with my counterparts in Northern Ireland, Scotland and England. But we're alsolooking beyond the United Kingdom to approaches to education in the face of this pandemic. Members are aware that we as a nation are a member of the AtlanticRim Collaboratory. So, recently I was able to talk to educationalists and Ministers in Iceland, other parts of Europe, North America, South America and Australia.So, we're also looking at best international evidence in this regard. And, clearly, we will need to be very clear, as today is an attempt to be very clear with parentsand our teaching professionals, and the unions that represent them, about the basis of that evidence.Hefin David AM: And could I just ask, with regard to theprinciples, do they then apply to further education and universities?Kirsty Williams AM: Well, of course, when we are discussing these challenges, we are doingthat with our colleagues in both the school sector but also our colleagues in the FE sector, and we're in close contact with colleagues in higher education to sharethinking on these matters.Hefin David AM: But these principles don't apply in those circumstances; these are principles for schools only.Kirsty Williams AM: Theseprinciples are applying to both, and our work in this area is applying to both schools and FE colleges. Clearly, universities, as independent institutions, wewouldn't be able to dictate to. But I want to be absolutely clear: we are working with representatives of the HE sector to include them in this work. And I havereceived, not assurances, but from discussions that I've had with Universities Wales and vice-chancellors, they are very keen to be kept apprised of theseapproaches, because they may well wish to implement something similar within their own institutions.Lynne Neagle AM: Okay. I've got a couple ofsupplementaries now; firstly, from Suzy Davies, and then I'm going to go to Siân Gwenllian. Suzy. No, we can't hear Suzy. Suzy? No. I'll go to Siân, then, andthen I'll come back to Suzy. Siân.Hefin David AM: Chair, I don't think my microphone is muted.Sian Gwenllian AM: Okay. I'll move on to my question to KirstyWilliams. Now, it is clear that any decisions that need to be taken on reopening schools would have to be made in the context of all of the other issues that theWelsh Government has to take into account. And it is entirely clear that the approach of Government towards testing hasn't been sufficiently developed for us toeven start to think about removing restrictions. So, wouldn't it be dangerous, if truth be told, to start to discuss reopening schools when we haven't had thenecessary testing in place for the majority of the population? And doesn't it convey a mixed message that we're starting to relax some of these restrictions when,in reality, the restrictions are still in place and still need to be in place robustly?Kirsty Williams AM: First of all, thank you very much, Siân, for that importantquestion. Can I be absolutely clear, and I thought I had been pretty clear in answering Hefin David, that we are not relaxing any of the restrictions with regard toeducation? As I said to Hefin, it is not imminent that we would see a further phase in the next stage of education here in Wales. What I have done today is toprovide clarity on the nature of the principles that I would use when coming to any discussion. It is the responsibility of me, as the Minister, and indeed of thewider Government, to begin to think about planning for the future. But I have been absolutely clear: we are not moving to an imminent change in how educationis operating at the moment. And I'm also very, very clear that should we be given the opportunity to see more children in our schools, I will only do that when itis safe for me to do so, when I've been advised by the CMO that I am able to do that, and we have given sufficient time and planning to the sector to respond. Itis not going to be easy, and we will need to give them, as a sector, time to be able to address. But if I have not been clear enough, let me say it again: we are not"}
+{"doc_id":"doc_115","qid":"","text":"Lynne Neagle AM: Good morning, everyone, and welcome to this morning's Children, Young People and Education Committee. We've received no apologies forabsence. Can I ask Members who are present if they wish to declare any interests? Okay, thank you. Item 2 this morning is our final evidence session for ourinquiry into targeted funding to improve educational outcomes. I'm very pleased to welcome Kirsty Williams AM, Cabinet Secretary for Education; Steve Davies,director of the education directorate; and Ruth Conway, deputy director, support for learners division. Welcome to all of you, and thank you for your attendanceand also for the paper that you've provided in advance. If you're happy, we'll go straight into questions, and the first questions are from Llyr Gruffydd.LlyrGruffydd AM: Bore da. I just want to start by asking some questions around the targeting of the pupil development grant because, clearly, we've had a lot ofevidence around this apparent blurring of eligibility to an extent. I'm just wondering how comfortable you are that the money is being targeted appropriatelybecause, clearly, it's being targeted more widely than just those eligible for free school meals, from some of the evidence we've had, but also that it seems to bepredominantly focused on low-attaining frees—pupils who are eligible for free school meals.Kirsty Williams AM: Thank you, Llyr. I think it's important to beabsolutely clear that when it comes to individual interventions, those individual interventions should only be targeted at those children who are eligible for freeschool meals. But in some cases, schools may use their PDG funding to provide a universal intervention, but we would want to—in challenge advisers' discussionsin schools—we'd want to have evidence that that universal intervention would have a disproportionate effect on the outcomes for children on free school meals.So, for instance, if I give you an example in your own region, Llyr: at Brynteg County Primary School in Wrexham, if you look at that primary school in Wrexham,their results for free-school-meal children at the end of their primary school period in school are equivalent to their non-free-school-meal counterparts. So, thereis no differentiation in those results. One of the things that they've used their PDG for is to really focus on the concept of growth mindset in school. So, that's auniversal thing that they've trained all the teachers in, but what we know is that that has a disproportionate effect on those children who are on free school meals.So, if you're familiar with the concept of a growth mindset, it's about really challenging learners to think that, 'I can do things. If sometimes I fail, I pick myselfup, I'm more resilient.' Now, that has been, as I said, trained to all the teachers in the school—it's an ethos for the whole school—but we have seen that theimpact on the free-school-meal children has been even greater, and now they're at the same level. So, that's the important distinction. Individual intervention perchild has to be targeted at those children who are eligible for free school meals, but sometimes a school will employ a whole-school approach to train their staff,for instance, and that, then, has to demonstrate it has a disproportionate effect on free school meals. So, growth mindset; it may be attachment disorder trainingfor staff, for instance, where we know it's of benefit to everybody, but will have particular benefits for that cohort of students. With regard to more able andtalented, you know, Llyr, that this is an area of concern for me, generally, within the Welsh education system; that we've not been particularly good atidentifying, supporting and driving attainment for those children. I'm absolutely clear that PDG needs to be used for those children who are eligible to drivepotential, whatever the potential of that child is, including more able and talented. And again, I'll give you an example that has been seen as good practice inPembrokeshire: a window on the world bus, again paid for by schools. I don't know if you're aware of it.Llyr Gruffydd AM: We've heard about that.Kirsty WilliamsAM: Oh, you've heard about it; well, it's a really good example the window on the world. And, again, that's very much targeted at raising aspirations and givingchildren who are more able and talented, who are eligible for PDG, those experiences, and to really push them. So, yes, I'm absolutely clear that PDG shouldn'tjust be seen to be getting individuals to the average. For those children who are more able and talented, it should be used to support them—Llyr Gruffydd AM:And we all share those aspirations, I'm sure, and you pointed to examples of good practice, but of course, it's not universal, is it, so what I'm asking is: do youthink that the guidance is sufficient as it is? Do you think that there's a great enough awareness of how the PDG should be used at the coalface? And also, are youconfident that consortia and others have the measures in place to be able to demonstrate that it is being used properly?Kirsty Williams AM: I think, if we look atwhat Estyn has said about PDG, it does actually recognise that the PDG is being used to push more able and talented children, but as always with the system,Llyr, it's whether we can be sure that that is strategic and that it's happening across all of our schools. So, you're—Llyr Gruffydd AM: But not just in relation tomore able and talented, I'm referring to the eligibility and the targeting.Kirsty Williams AM: Oh, the eligibility. You'll be aware that, on the advice of Sir Alasdair,we have employed and appointed new PDG regional advisers, and I think their role is going to be absolutely crucial in spreading that good practice across theregion, whether that's use of PDG for more able and talented, or ensuring that PDG is used in the appropriate way. So, that's there to provide strategic overalladvice. And obviously, we have been very clear with regional challenge advisers, in the relationship and the conversations they're having with individual schools,that they're really challenging their schools about the use of PDG, not just in terms of targeting, but the programmes, what the money is being spent on, whetherthere is an evidence base for that and whether we are clear on impact. So, I think the new regional advisers are going to be crucial in enabling us to ensure moreconsistent practice across the regions.Llyr Gruffydd AM: So, are you content that eligibility for free school meals is the best measure, really, of identifying whichpupils to target?Kirsty Williams AM: Llyr, in the absence of anything better. I'll be the first person to say that maybe it's not as absolutely focused, but in theabsence of anything different to identify a proxy for need, I think it's probably the best that we've got at present. And we will continue to have discussions withlocal government about whether there are different ways. We have to be mindful. Some of the policy levers in this area are out of my hands, so if we look at theroll-out of universal credit, for instance, we've got officials working very hard at the moment to try and understand what universal credit is going to mean andwhere we are going to be able to identify relative need, going forward. We haven't had any additional resource as a result of this, but we're very mindful that,potentially, this has an impact, going forward. And, officials are working all of the time, I must say, in conjunction with the department in England, to understandtheir thinking in this area so that we are in a position to make some decisions about what a notional eligibility for free school meals will look like going forward,but before I make any decisions, I want to assure everybody that there will be a full public consultation on that.Llyr Gruffydd AM: Okay. Finally for now, on thisissue of once a year, in January, if you're eligible for free school meals, then you're in that group for that year. We've had some quite strong evidence about howdifficult that makes longer term planning for a number of schools and we've also been pointed in the direction of what's happened in England with the Ever 6, andI'm just wondering whether you're giving any thought to maybe changing that a little bit.Kirsty Williams AM: Well, we're certainly giving thought to flexibility. Inconversations with Alasdair, who is our independent adviser on this agenda, and individual schools, we're actively giving thought to greater flexibility and maybelonger term projections, so that schools know, for a number of years ahead, what their allocation will be. There are advantages to that system, because you couldgive that flexibility, you could give that long-term approach, but then, how do you make that responsive if a school suddenly has more children? We do know that,actually, the number of free-school-meal pupils is dropping. But there can be changes, you know, regional working in areas of north Wales in tourism, or maybein other areas at Christmas time, parents are able to get a period of work. So, how can we create a more flexible system? We're actively looking at that at themoment. I wouldn't use it as an Ever 6 concept, but as an 'Ever 2' concept. We have looked at Ever 6, and I'm going to be absolutely blunt with you: to introducean Ever 6 concept for Wales would mean in the region of identifying an additional £40 million. I'm going to be absolutely straight and blunt with you: we're not ina position at the moment to be able to identify an additional £40 million to introduce an Ever 6. But issues around flexibility, certainly, are actively underconsideration. In fact, we'll be having a discussion later on today about decisions, going forward, for the next two years.Llyr Gruffydd AM: Thank you.LynneNeagle AM: Darren on this.Darren Millar AM: It's just a very brief point in response to the £40 million price ticket that you just put on that. That's, of course,assuming that you maintain the current level of PDG, yes? So, if you reduced the level of PDG slightly, but made it available to more individuals, if you like, viaallocating it in a different way, then that £40 million price ticket wouldn't be there, would it?Kirsty Williams AM: I was asked a question about had Iever considered an Ever 6. We have looked at that, we've priced that up. I have to make decisions in the envelope of resources that are available to me. Wecould, indeed, change the way in which we allocate PDG money, but we have to do it within the envelope that is available to me, over £90 million. That's asignificant level of investment, but, of course, as always, Darren, we could cut the amount per pupil, but that might have quite challenging swings in allocations.What we have done—because what I am clear on is that there was evidence to suggest that in the secondary sector, a great deal of PDG was being focused onyears 10 and 11, especially year 11, in catch-up provision, and you'll be aware, because we've said this in evidence to the committee in the papers, we've set achallenge to secondary schools to say, 'Actually, the majority of your PDG allocation has to be used in key stage 3.' Now, we have to balance the needs, the moralhazard of turning round to children in years 10 and 11 and saying, 'We're not going to provide catch-up opportunities for you,' because, clearly, those childrenneed that support. But the evidence and the advice that we're receiving is: actually, strong focus on early years, primary and key stage 3, if we get that right,should negate the need for spending money on catch-up at years 10 and 11. That's why we, in our advice to local authorities and schools, say that we want to see"}

Let 's be done withthis .PhD A: OK .Professor F: OK . this is Ami , who {disfmarker} And this is Tilman and Ralf .PhD A: Hi . Uh - huh . Nice to meet you .Grad D: Hi .Professor F: Hi .OK . So we 're gonna try to finish by five so people who want to can go hear Nancy Chang 's talk , uh downstairs .PhD A: Hmm .Professor F: And you guys are ggiving talks on tomorrow and Wednesday lunch times ,PhD A: Yes .Grad D: Mmm .Professor F: right ? That 's great . OK so , do y do you know what we 're gonnado ?Grad B: I thought two things uh we 'll introduce ourselves and what we do . And um we already talked with Andreas , Thilo and David and some lines of codewere already written today and almost tested and just gonna say we have um again the recognizer to parser thing where we 're working on and that should be noproblem and then that can be sort of developed uh as needed when we get {disfmarker} enter the tourism domain . em we have talked this morning with the{disfmarker} with Tilman about the generator .PhD A: SGrad B: and um There one of our diligent workers has to sort of volunteer to look over Tilman 's shoulderwhile he is changing the grammars to EnglishPhD A: Mm - hmm .Grad B: because w we have {disfmarker} we face two ways . Either we do a syllableconcatenating um grammar for the English generation which is sort of starting from scratch and doing it the easy way , or we simply adopt the ah um more in -depth um style that is implemented in the German system and um are then able not only to produce strings but also the syntactic parse uh not parse not thesyntactic tree that is underneath in the syntactic structure which is the way we decided we were gonna go because A , it 's easier in the beginningPhD A: Mm -hmm .Grad B: and um it does require some {disfmarker} some knowledge of {disfmarker} of those grammars and {disfmarker} and {disfmarker} and some linglinguistic background . But um it shouldn't be a problem for anyone .Professor F: OK So That sounds good . Johno , are you gonna have some time t to do that uhw with these guys ?Grad E: Sure .Professor F: cuz y you 're the grammar maven .Grad E: OK .Professor F: I mean it makes sense ,Grad E: Yeah .Professor F:doesn't it ? Yeah Good . OK . So , I think that 's probably the {disfmarker} the right way to do that . And an Yeah , so I {disfmarker} I actually wanna f to findout about it too , but I may not have time to get in .Grad B: the {disfmarker} the ultimate goal is that before they leave we {disfmarker} we can run through theentire system input through output on at least one or two sample things . And um and by virtue of doing that then in this case Johno will have acquired theknowledge of how to extend it . Ad infinitum . When needed , if needed , when wanted and so forth .Professor F: OK that sounds great .Grad B: And um also umRalf has hooked up with David and you 're gonna continue either all through tonight or tomorrow on whatever to get the er parser interface working .Grad D:Mmm .Grad B: They are thinning out and thickening out lattices and doing this kind of stuff to see what works best .Grad D: Mmm , yep .Professor F: Great . So ,you guys enjoy your weekend ?PhD A: Yes , very much so .Grad D: Yeah , very muchProfessor F: OK , before {disfmarker} before you got put to work ?Grad D:YeahProfessor F: Great . OK , so that 's {disfmarker} Sort of one branch is to get us caught up on what 's going on . Also of course it would be really nice to knowwhat the plans are , in addition to what 's sort of already in code .PhD A: Yes .Professor F: and we can d I dunno w w was there uh a time when we were set up todo that ? It probably will work better if we do it later in the week , after {pause} we actually understand uh better what 's going on .PhD A: Yes .Grad D: Hmm.PhD A: Yeah .Professor F: So when do you guys leave ?PhD A: Um we 're here through Sunday ,Grad D: OhPhD A: so All through Friday would be fine .ProfessorF: Oh , OK , so {disfmarker} OK , So {disfmarker} so anyt we 'll find a time later in the week to uh get together and talk about {pause} your understanding ofwhat SmartKom plans are .PhD A: Mm - hmm .Professor F: and how we can change them .PhD A: Yes . Sure .Professor F: Uh ,Grad B: Should we already set adate for that ? Might be beneficial while we 're all here .Professor F: OK ? um What {disfmarker} what does not work for me is Thursday afternoon . I can doearlier in the day on Thursday , or {pause} um {pause} most of the time on Friday , not all .Grad B: Thursday morning sounds fine ?Professor F: Wha - but ,Johno ,PhD A: Mm - hmm .Professor F: what are your constraints ?Grad E: um Thursday afternoon doesn't work for me , but {disfmarker}Grad B: Neither doesThursday morning , no ?Grad E: Uh Thursday morning should be fine .PhD A: OK .Professor F: Eleven ? Eleven on Thursday ?Grad E: I was just thinking I w I will{pause} have {pause} leavened by eleven .Professor F: Right . Right . This is then out of deference to our non - morning people .PhD A: Mm - hmm . OK . So ateleven ?Grad D: Hmm .PhD A: Thursday around eleven ? OK .Professor F: Yeah . And actually we can invite um Andreas as well .Grad B: Uh he will be inWashington , though .Professor F: Oh that 's true . He 's off {disfmarker} off on his trip already .Grad B: but um David is here and he 's actually knows everythingabout the SmartKom recognizer .Professor F: Thilo . OK well yeah maybe we 'll see if David could make it . That would be good .Grad B: OK so facing to{disfmarker} to what we 've sort of been doing here um well for one thing we 're also using this room to collect data .PhD A: Yeah obviously .Grad B: um um Notthis type of data ,PhD A: Oh , OK .Grad B: no not meeting data but sort of {disfmarker} sort ah our version of a wizard experiment such not like the ones inMunich but pretty close to it .PhD A: Mm - hmm .Grad B: The major difference to the Munich ones is that we do it via the telephonePhD A: OK .Grad B: eventhough all the recording is done here and so it 's a {disfmarker} sort of a computer call system that gives you tourist informationPhD A: Mm - hmm .Grad B: tellsyou how to get places . And it breaks halfway through the experiment and a human operator comes on . and part of that is sort of trying to find out whetherpeople change their linguistic verbal behavior when first thinking they speak to a machine and then to a human .PhD A: Yeah .Grad B: and we 're setting it up sothat we can {disfmarker} we hope to implant certain intentions in people . For example um we have first looked at a simple sentence that \" How do I get to thePowder - Tower ? \" OK so you have the {disfmarker} castle of HeidelbergPhD A: OK .Grad B: and there is a tower and it 's called Powder - Tower .PhD A: Oh , OK. Yeah .Grad B: and um so What will you parse out of that sentence ? Probably something that we specified in M - three - L , that is @ @ {comment} \" action goto whatever domain , object whatever Powder - Tower \" .Grad D: Mmm .Grad B: And maybe some model will tell us , some GPS module , in the mobile scenariowhere the person is at the moment . And um we 've sort of gone through that once before in the Deep Mail project and we noticed that first of all what are{disfmarker} I should 've brought some slides , but what our {disfmarker} So here 's the tower . Think of this as a two - dimensional representation of the tower. And our system led people here , to a point where they were facing a wall in front of the tower . There is no entrance there , but it just happens to be the closestpoint of the road network to the geometric center Because that 's how the algorithm works . So we took out that part of the road network as a hack and then itfound actually the way to the entrance . which was now the closest point of the road network toPhD A: Yeah .Grad B: OK , geometric center . But what weactually observed in Heidelberg is that most people when they want to go there they actually don't want to enter , because it 's not really interesting . They wannago to a completely different point where they can look at it and take a picture .PhD A: Oh , OK .Grad D: Hmm .PhD A: Yeah .Grad B: And so what uh uh a s you slet 's say a simple parse from a s from an utterance won't really give us is what the person actually wants . Does he wanna go there to see it ? Does he wanna gothere now ? Later ? How does the person wanna go there ? Is that person more likely to want to walk there ? Walk a scenic route ? and so forth . There are allkinds of decisions that we have identified in terms of getting to places and in terms of finding information about things . And we are constructing {disfmarker}and then we 've identified more or less the extra - linguistic parameters that may f play a role . Information related to the user and information related to thesituation . And we also want to look closely on the linguistic information that what we can get from the utterance . That 's part of why we implant these intentionsin the data collection to see whether people actually phrase things differently whether they want to enter in order to buy something or whether they just wannago there to look at it . And um so the idea is to construct uh um suitable interfaces and a belief - net for a module that actually tries to guess what the underlyingintention {pause} was . And then enrich or augment the M - three - L structures with what it thought what more it sort of got out of that utterance . So if it canmake a good suggestion , \" Hey ! \" you know , \" that person doesn't wanna enter . That person just wants to take a picture , \" cuz he just bought film , or \" thatperson wants to enter because he discussed the admission fee before \" . Or \" that person wants to enter because he wants to buy something and that you usuallydo inside of buildings \" and so forth . These ah these types of uh these bits of additional information are going to be embedded into the M - three - L structure inan {disfmarker} sort of subfield that we have reserved . And if the action planner does something with it , great . If not you know , then that 's also somethingum that we can't really {disfmarker} at least we {comment} want to offer the extra information . We don't really {disfmarker} um we 're not too worried .PhD A:Mm - hmm .Grad D: Hmm .Grad B: I mean {disfmarker} t s Ultimately if you have {disfmarker} if you can offer that information , somebody 's gonna s dosomething with it sooner or later . That 's sort of part of our belief .Grad E: What was he saying ?Grad B: Um , for example , right now I know the GIS from emailis not able to calculate these viewpoints . So that 's a functionality that doesn't exist yet to do that dynamically ,PhD A: Mm - hmm .Grad B: but if we can offer it"}

Hello everyone . {vocalsound} {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Hi .User Interface: Hi .Marketing: Hi .Project Manager: Um how uh howwe doing ?Industrial Designer: Yeah , good .Project Manager: Uh first we going uh over the minutes of the last meeting , more or less .User Interface: Mm-hmm.Project Manager: Um in the last meeting uh the marketing manager had presented uh her method of working , meaning gathering i suggestions from everyoneto see how she best could market uh this this product at the {disfmarker} within the budget uh that was given . Uh in general {vocalsound} the idea is that itshould be something that is not difficult to use . Um it's also an item that people lose a lot . So we should address that . And , of course , it should be something ss that is very simple to use . In addition to that to make it sell , of course , uh the marketing manager w wishes that it be very attractive ,Marketing:{vocalsound}Project Manager: or like she says put some sizzle into it in one way or another so that the people are buying it now because , in particular withsmaller items , that's a very important fact , 'cause um if they say , well , I go home and think about it , that won't work . Um also mentioned was it should be uh{disfmarker} it should have a very short learning curve . And maybe it could be sold by using a slogan .Industrial Designer: Hmm .Project Manager:{vocalsound} Our technical manager has then said that she feels it should have a chipMarketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: that has infra-red bits and it hasan interface controls w interface that controls the chip . Therefore , messages uh will be controlled in the same manner . There should be extra features like lidbuttons , maybe a beep . If too many buttons are pressed , mm uh uh child lock um and uh maybe a display clock so that people could um {disfmarker} youcould see the time , you know , what show they want to watch . Also mentioned was uh maybe different shapes . So the components of the thing should bebutton , bulbs , infra infra-red bulbs , battery , chips , wires , and maybe some kind of a holder uh for the for the uh item . Francino who is our umUser Interface:Interface designer .Project Manager: interface designer um uh has mentioned that the {disfmarker} that it , of course , should have an on-off button , and alsohas mentioned an interesting feature that it should have maybe a channel lock . Particularly with maybe small children that they couldn't uh watch a channel thatis undesirable . It should be compact . Her personal favourite was it should be T-shaped . And maybe have an anar alarm-clock . And the material should possiblybe not of non-allergic nature . Uh the different systems uh that exist are infra-red or radio-waves . Uh maybe it should have uh electri electrici electricity savingfeature .Marketing: {vocalsound} {vocalsound}Project Manager: And {vocalsound} even possibly a timer to {disfmarker} so that people can program{vocalsound} their favourite uh uh program on th right from the remote .User Interface: Yes .Project Manager: Uh are we all in agreement that that's about whatwe discussed last time ? Okay .User Interface: Yes .Industrial Designer: Yeah .Marketing: Yeah , I think that pretty much is it . Yeah . Mm-hmm .Project Manager:{vocalsound} Okay , then we {disfmarker} I'm looking for three presentations . And uh I don't know whether the order matters much uh , I don't I don't think so, so whoever w wants {disfmarker}User Interface: Okay , I can start first .Project Manager: Yeah , okay .User Interface: Okay . Now my slide , please .{vocalsound}Project Manager: Okay , your slides . Okay . Oh , come on , close already .Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: And that's number two , right?User Interface: Three .Project Manager: Three .User Interface: Participant three . Yes . Okay .Project Manager: Okay .User Interface: Now as an interfacedesigner , I would give more emphasis on the interface , how the remote looks like so that it is sellable , it is attractive to customers . Next , please . Okay . Nowthe function of a remote is to send messages to the television . This messages could be uh switch on-off message or switch to next channel message or swappingthe channels or switching onto a particular channel , like you can have the numbers one , two , three , four , up to nine .Project Manager: Nine what ? Ninechannel uh switches ?User Interface: Pardon me ?Project Manager: Nine channel switches ? Is {disfmarker} Yeah . Mm-hmm . Mm-hmm .User Interface: Yes ,nine numbers . And then you have swapping of uh buttonProject Manager: Mm-hmm .User Interface: by which {disfmarker} using which you can swap thechannels if you don't want to see the third channel you can swap it to the fourth channel or vice versa . Then it should have a next button , and next buttonchannel by which you can keep on uh v uh mm eh scrolling the channels one by one .Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: Going to the nex next.Project Manager: Mm-hmm .User Interface: Next slide , please .Project Manager: Mm-hmm .User Interface: Then you should have a button which should whichca which can be used for increasing or decreasing the volume .Project Manager: Mm-hmm .User Interface: Then , there should be a button which can givesubtitles for a particular program which is going on a television . For example , if you are watching a French program and you would like to have a subtitles inEnglish , then there should be a channel which can trigger this mechanism in the television so that the user can see uh the {gap} the subtitles on the screen.Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Mm-hmm .User Interface: Then there should d uh there should be some buttons which can control features like thecolour , colour of the picture , the contrast , sharpness , brightness of the picture . Now there should be a memory switch . There should be a mute button .Suddenly if if if uh uh viewer he gets a telephone call , and if he want he doesn't want to switch off the uh T_V_ , but he he can reduce the sound , he can bringthe volume down and he can watch {disfmarker} he can uh {disfmarker} while talking he can watch the T_V_ . Now the most important feature I would like tohave in my remote would be the speech recognition feature . It's an integrated progra programmable sample sensor speaker unit . So a remote can be th can beuh designed which can have the voice recognisers , you can record your own voiceProject Manager: Mm-hmm .User Interface: which can be recognised by asvoice recogniser in the television , for example , if you want to see {disfmarker} we if you want to see the ninth channel if you say just say ninth channel , uh thnow the the {disfmarker} uh yeah , the remote will {disfmarker} automatically it will switch to the ninth channel .Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager:Mm-hmm . Mm-hmm .User Interface: So the T_V_ will have some recogniser which will recognise the user's voice and accordingly it will change its functionalities.Project Manager: Mm-hmm . Mm-hmm .User Interface: So this is one of the very important feature a remote control can have . So this is one one of theinterface which can be created .Project Manager: Mm-hmm .User Interface: A very simple interface which has all the t uh uh important features .Project Manager:Mm-hmm .User Interface: Then , please , next slide .Project Manager: Mm-hmm .User Interface: Then , these are some of the remotes which are different inshape and colour , but they have many buttons .Project Manager: Mm-hmm .User Interface: So uh sometimes the user finds it very difficult to recognise whichbutton is for what function and all that . So you can you can design an interface which is very simple , and which is user-friendly . Even a kid can use that .ProjectManager: Mm-hmm .User Interface: So can you go on t t uh to the next slide . Yeah , so this is one of the interface or one of the remote which has this vi voicerecogniser .Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Marketing: {vocalsound}User Interface: And this has multi-purpose use , it can be used for T_V_ , it can be used forcable-satellite , it can be used for V_C_R_ , D_V_D_s and audio . And this has in-built voice recogniser .Project Manager: {vocalsound}User Interface: Can you goon to the next slide ? Yeah , now this is an interface for a chil uh for a remote uh uh which a child can use .Project Manager: Mm-hmm .User Interface: Uh this isuser-friendly , it's very attractive and uh children can use it as well as they can play with it . And this comes with different colours , different shapes .IndustrialDesigner: Mm .Project Manager: Mm-hmm .User Interface: And this this uh child uh interface has minimum buttonsMarketing: {vocalsound}User Interface: andall the important uh buttons are there in this small , compact , attractive child interface . Next slide , please . Now this is a big over-sized remote which cannot bemisplaced or it's impossible to misplace .Project Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager:{vocalsound}Marketing: You don't know me .User Interface: {vocalsound} {gap} {vocalsound} {gap} this . {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound} I could losethat in a minute . {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound}User Interface: So this is {disfmarker} {vocalsound} No this is a verybig , you cannot {vocalsound} misplace it anywhere .Marketing: {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound} So this is a jumbo universal remote control and it'simpossible to im misplace or lose . {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Mm-hmm .User Interface: This i this is one such interface which canbe created . {vocalsound} And the personal preference {vocalsound} uh would be a spe uh uh to incorporate speech recognisers uh which will respond to user'svoice for a particular uh function .Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Mm-hmm . Right .User Interface: Thank you , that's {disfmarker}Project Manager:Mm-hmm . Okay , thank you very much . Uh any comments on uh her presentation ?Marketing: Well , um looks like we still have quite a choice of things outthere .Industrial Designer: Mm-hmm .Marketing: Um what uh {vocalsound} I'm {disfmarker} No suggestion's bad .User Interface: Mm yes .Marketing: But uhwe're gonna have to narrow it down a little more . I don't think that we can get uh {disfmarker} The T-shape is good , the child one is good , the too big tomisplace , I think it's just funny .User Interface: Okay . {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound} Um I don't think that's gonna be our impulse purchase at thecheckout counter .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Yeah , I I th I think {disfmarker}User Interface: Okay . {gap} {vocalsound}Marketing: It'sit's gonna be a little bit too unwieldy .User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: No , I think the these are her presentations , but uh as far as the decisionmaking we getting to that after afterMarketing: Yeah mm . Mm-hmm . Have to come back to that later . Okay .User Interface: We can .Project Manager: but if{disfmarker} I just wanted to know whether anybody had any any anything to add to her presentation .Marketing: No , I think her presentation was good , andshe really explored all the options .

Can you pass the mouse , please . {vocalsound} Oh okay , that's fine .Project Manager: Turn .Marketing: Okay . Um so basically I justwant to presented to you {disfmarker} present to you some recent results we've had from um looking at uh um some remote control market research and somefashion trends around the world . Um the fashion trends we got from talking to our our contacts in the fashion industry based in Paris and Milan . {vocalsound}Um {vocalsound} so f from our market research basically we've come to the conclusion that a fancy look and feel , um as opposed to a functional look and feel ,is our number one priority . Um fancy is is is is the , you know , highest priority .Project Manager: Hmm .Industrial Designer: Hmm .Marketing: Secondly um thatour remote control needs to be techn technologically innovative . Um so this is t number two priority but it's two times less important as the fancy criteria . Umand third thirdly the easiness of use is is the um is is important as well , but again two times less important as the technologically innovativeness of the remotecontrol . {vocalsound} From our f fashion people in Paris and Milan , um we've discovered that this year um fruit the fruit and vegetable motif will be the mostimportant thing in in clothes , shoes and furniture . So , {vocalsound} I'm pretty confident that our remote control fits into the furniture category . And also umthe feel of material this year um is expected to be spongy .Project Manager: Okay .Marketing: Um so hopefully our remote control reflects that s in some way.Industrial Designer: What does it mean , spongy ?Marketing: Uh sort of um squishy .Industrial Designer: Like soft , or something ?Marketing: Um . Yeah soft,Project Manager: {vocalsound}Marketing: like a uh like a sponge .Project Manager: Like a sponge . {vocalsound} Yeah .Marketing: {vocalsound} I don't know .Yeah .Industrial Designer: Okay . I will see .Marketing: Um so in conclusion , we need a our remote control needs to be something that's really fancy , um has lotsof technolog tech technology in it . {vocalsound} Um somehow would be good to have it related to fruit and vegetables with a spongy feel .Project Manager:{vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Okay .User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: And that it's easy to use and from our last meeting our you knowFabian told us that w you know one of the requirements is that we have to reflect the look and feel of our {disfmarker} of th the Real Reaction company . Um.Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound} Yeah , uh yeah .Marketing: {vocalsound} That's it .Project Manager: Easy to use , is it uh a asmuch as important than technology or fancy thing . It's less important , right ?Marketing: Less important .Project Manager: Yeah yeah .Marketing: So umfanciness first and then two ti you know , half as important as that is technology technology ,Project Manager: Okay .Marketing: and half important as technologyis easy to use . So .Project Manager: {gap} So , Hamed , can you {gap} .User Interface: Yeah . The second one . Could you please show the presentationnumber three .Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: I think the biggest struggle will be the easy to use feature .Project Manager: {vocalsound} Um .Number ?Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} We'll see .User Interface: Yeah .Project Manager: Three .User Interface: Three .Project Manager: This one ?{vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound} Yes . {gap} Just Could you please check if it is the first one or the second . Uh , n n no , it's the first one . The secondone .Project Manager: So it's not this one .User Interface: Uh yeah . Okay . {gap} Okay . So I am going to talk about {disfmarker} a little bit about how thisremote control should be appear to be more easy to use . I think uh I think the feature easy to use is more important than being fancy , but okay , we can discussabout it uh later . Um {vocalsound} generally , generally uh this remote control uh uh should be should be something , in my opinion , uh the first feature is justto be easy to use . So , the more frequent buttons should be larger , they should be placed in a good position uh uh inside the remote control . And uh s uh I canconclude like this , that we shouldn't need to learn how to use it . It should be {disfmarker} we shouldn't need to es open a a t book and uh start reading and uhlearning how to use this uh this uh remote control . {vocalsound} Okay . So what I found out that uh as I said uh I think it's better to put uh more frequent uh uhuh ke uh buttons which are used more in the middle of the remote control , and they should be bigger in size . Uh the shape of remote control should be in a waywhich can {disfmarker} which should be taken easily in hand . It should not be completely like uh a cube . It should be it should have round edge , so uh then it'seasier .Industrial Designer: Exactly .User Interface: And maybe uh just like some toys , some joystick which is easier to take inside the hand . And uh also f uh uhm because because customers doesn't like to buy lots of battery , it should not uh consume lots of energy . Okay . And my personal p uh preference is uh , as Isaid , uh just putting this buttons in a special places and covered some buttons which are not used uh that much like settings button , like mobile phone . Usuallysome mobile phone cover the dialling number part , so we can cover these buttons which are not used or uh number buttons for the for the for the can channels ,and just put uh volume change or s ch can uh channel change buttons uh uh in the remote control . And if the user needed to do some more complex task uh hehe can open the cover and then change settings or something like this . Uh . And also uh I think if we put some some some some some buttons inside of theremote control it can be used easier . Not on remote control . I dunno if I can explain well . But uh just inside . For example , a sliding or rolling uh uh d uh stuff ,if we put it inside then we can easily manipulate with uh thumb . So it can be another uh preference . And uh I dunno but uh I think usage of a speech recogn uh rrecogniser can be good . I know that it consumes lots of energy , but if we do it in some way that it asleeps when there is no sound and when it detects somesound it may consume less energy . And I think it's good because it's something new and usually young people like something new . So it may not be very usefulbut because it's new , people may buy it . Uh I personally think there should be a big difference between uh between something . Otherwise they prefer to buysomething which is coming from a famous company , or . Okay . That's mine .Project Manager: Okay . {gap}Industrial Designer: Uh okay , so good news fromme uh uh for me from Hamed , but bad news from Bob obviously , because spongy design , I don't like it as {gap} {disfmarker}Marketing: {vocalsound}ProjectManager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Okay , so could you please , Fabien , open it .Project Manager: Yeah .Marketing: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer:I'm person two . And which one , uh probably the first one . I'm not sure but check the first one . I {disfmarker} Most of the things I have to write myself on theboard , but {disfmarker}Project Manager: This one , yeah .Industrial Designer: Yeah , that's it . Just {disfmarker} It's only this slide ? Yeah . This this is just uhone thing I wanted to mention and show you that I just uh I just found this , that our company uh developed a s a seven f seven fingers or I'll just{disfmarker}Marketing: Inch .Industrial Designer: Yeah , seven seven inch T_ {disfmarker} T_F_T_ screen , which is good news for us , since we wanted toinclude a display there . Uh so I I probably draw it down raw scheme .Project Manager: Oh , {gap} .Industrial Designer: This is this is the stuff that I can use to{disfmarker}Project Manager: Oops .Industrial Designer: Okay , so the {disfmarker} this will be like the overall scheme or overall requirements from theengineering point of view . Uh first thing is uh this will be the overall shape , no uh I'm not speaking about the real shape of the device , but the shape of theinside of the device . So there will be some circuit uh for the power . So , say power circuit here . Uh the main energy will be taken from batteries that we can uhuh {disfmarker} And if we decide to use the speech recognition stuff there , we must use additional source of energy , which I found the best is to use the solarcells which can which can uh supply everything . I was computing all the all the things related to the speech recognition , and it's okay to use just uh two batteriesand solar cells , so . So no problem . There can be also solar cell . Uh the main board with all the circuits will take at least seven to seven centimetres , so this ismy like hard requirement for the guys from the design .User Interface: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: So at least seven to seven . It depends where you put yourscreen , because the screen is uh seven inch , so it depends on you where where you put it .Marketing: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: It doesn't matter . Umit's just one cord from from the main board to the screen which can be elsewhere . So this will be T_F_T_ . And on the main board we have the um interface tothe microphone , which is somewhere , say here . Interface to the microphone . Then the graphical card uh for the T_F_T_ and the third unit is the I_R_ . Thegood news is that we can uh we decided to use the infra-red unit because our company has also developed the chip for communication by the infra-red , includingall the stuff inside , so it will be very cheap for us . So infra-red here . So the {disfmarker} once again the overall requirements , seven to seven centimetres forthe board , which has to be {disfmarker} which can be spongy but has to be this size , and the T_F_T_ which is seven inches . Um I have to check what I wantedto {disfmarker} Uh from my point of view I don't care about the about the material used for the overall des uh ov all the device .Project Manager: Can you fit anyuh for example a T_F_T_ or any electronic device in a spongy thing , or is there any problem for that ? For example , put electronic card on a spongy thing , I canI can imagine it could be a problem .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} A all these things in in uh in this box are okay to put in in any shape , basically .ProjectManager: Yep .Industrial Designer: But we have to take care of the T_F_T_ . Well , sponginess . Maybe it a good feature , since it takes {disfmarker} if it's around"}

Welcome to the 13th meeting of the House of Commons SpecialCommittee on the COVID-19 Pandemic. This will be a hybrid meeting. Some members will be participating via video conference and some will be participating inperson. In order to ensure that those joining the meeting via video conference can be seen and heard by those in the chamber, two screens have been set up oneither side of the Chairs chair, and members in the chamber can listen to the floor audio or to interpretation using the earpieces at their desks. Before speaking,please wait until I recognize you by name, and please direct your remarks through the chair. For those joining via video conference, I would like to remind you toleave your mike on muteMr. Ziad Aboultaif (Edmonton Manning, CPC): I have a point of order.The Chair: Can the member wait for the point of order until wefinish the introduction?Mr. Ziad Aboultaif: There is so much noise in the background over there, Mr. Chair.The Chair: That is a very good point of order. I want toremind everyone that when we speak, it is picked up. We have amazing speakersand an amazing Speaker, but that's a whole other storyand amazingmicrophones in the chamber, and they do pick up everything. I know there was some chatter going on in the background. I want to make sure everyone is awareof that. Mr. Aboultaif, that was a very good point of order. I appreciate that. For those joining us via video conference, I would like to remind you to leave yourmikes on mute when you're not speaking. Also, please note that if you want to speak in English, you should be on the English channel, and if you want to speak inFrench, you should be on the French channel. Should you wish to alternate between the two languages, you should change the channel to the language that youare speaking each time you switch languages. Should members participating by video conference wish to request the floor outside their designated speakingtimes, they should activate their mic and state that they have a point of order. Those in the Chamber can rise in the usual way. Please note that today'sproceedings will be televised. I understand that there are no ministerial announcements for today, so we'll continue to the presentation of petitions, for a periodnot exceeding 15 minutes. I would like to remind members that any petition presented during a meeting of the special committee must have already beencertified by the clerk of petitions. For members participating in person, we ask that they please come and drop the signed certificate off at the table once thepetition is presented. The first petition goes to Mr. Manly, who is joining us via video conference.Mr. Paul Manly (NanaimoLadysmith, GP): Thank you, Mr. Chair.This is a petition that calls on the government to deal with helping our honey bees. They are crucial to our food system. They provide hundreds of billions ofdollars worth of services to commercial agricultural crops and other ecological services every year, and the European Union has put heavy restrictions on thechemicals that are affecting them, the neonicotinoids. This petition calls on the Government of Canada, for the sake of bees and our food security, to followEurope's lead and adhere to the precautionary principle by banning the use of neonicotinoids in Canada.The Chair: The next presenter of petitions will be Mr.Genuis, who is very parliamentary and dressed from the waist up, I understand.Mr. Garnett Genuis (Sherwood ParkFort Saskatchewan, CPC): Thank you, Mr.Chair, and that is all you need to see for the moment. Canadians are horrified by the military report on the conditions of long-term care in Ontario. It raises bigquestions about the choices facing seniors in certain situations, which is what makes this first petition particularly timely. I am tabling a petition related to BillC-7, the government's euthanasia bill, which seeks to dramatically remove safeguards that the government said were vital only a short time ago. When somepeople are living in deplorable conditions, we cannot truly speak of them as having a choice of when they ought to die. Especially in light of that new information,I commend this petition for the consideration of members of the House. The second petition is in support of Bill S-204 on organ harvesting and trafficking, putforward in the Senate. The bill would make it a criminal offence for a person to go abroad and receive an organ without the donor's consent. This bill seeks tocombat the horrific practice of forced organ harvesting and trafficking.The Chair: The next petition presenter will be Ms. May.Ms. Elizabeth May (SaanichGulfIslands, GP): Thank you, Mr. Chair, and greetings from SaanichGulf Islands. The petition I'm presenting today is petition e-2509, which has been duly certified. Itrelates to what I think many of us will regard as the real heroes of the last few months. In this pandemic, there have often been very underpaid and overworkedfront-line workers who receive minimum wage and nothing more, and who are of course deemed essential services. The petitioners have asked the governmentto implement a wage supplement as a temporary measure to bring the wages for those who are in contact with the general public and working in what has beendeemed an essential service to no less than $20 an hour, in light of their service and the risks they're taking for all of us.The Chair: We have a point of order fromMs. Harder.Ms. Rachael Harder (Lethbridge, CPC): Mr. Chair, the honourable member who just spoke brought up a great point yesterday. She said that when wepresent petitions, we are simply supposed to give one or two sentences before putting them on the table. I believe that was more than one or two sentences.TheChair: I want to remind honourable members that when they are presenting petitions, they should be very concise with the prcis that they give up front, asopposed to going on for a long time. Now we will proceed to statements by members for a period not exceeding 15 minutes, and each statement will be for oneminute. We will start with Mr. Fonseca.Mr. Peter Fonseca (Mississauga EastCooksville, Lib.): Thank you, Mr. Chair. Today I am honoured to recognize the youth inmy riding of Mississauga EastCooksville who are part of the 52nd Mississauga Scouts. For over a decade, I've had the great opportunity to join the Scouts everyyear during the month of May for the door-to-door food drives. This year has been a lot different, owing to the COVID situation, but our Scouts are not used tosaying the word impossible. David Chant, head leader for their cub pack, reached out to share that the youth have found innovative ways to engage ourcommunity through a virtual food bank. I say a big thank you to Scout leaders like David, who are strong role models for our youth, teaching them theimportance of leadership, kindness and giving back. I've always been amazed with the support within our community for the Scouts' food drive. David and hisgroup of Scouts raised over $46,000 worth of food last year for the Mississauga Food Bank and The Compass. Again, I give a huge virtual high-five to all of ouryoung Scouts, who have taken the lead with lots of compassion and care.The Chair: We'll now go on to Mr. Richards.Mr. Blake Richards (BanffAirdrie, CPC): May24 to May 31 is Tourism Week in Canada. This annual celebration is a time for us to recognize the contributions and experiences of Canada's tourism industry.This is a very important industry, and this year's Tourism Week is a little different from what it normally is. The ongoing coronavirus crisis has closed provincialand international borders to recreational travel, and tourism operators from coast to coast have been among the first and hardest hit due to thegovernment-mandated lockdowns. Clear criteria regarding border reopenings and health and safety requirements will allow hospitality and tourism businesses tosufficiently prepare to reopen. This includes rehiring employees, ordering supplies and putting together tour packages and marketing plans. Operators do notneed to be set back any further because of a lack of clarity around reopening. While this Tourism Week is not a celebration like the one we had expected, Ianticipate next year's celebration to be a celebration of an even stronger and more successful tourism industry in Canada.  The 1.8 million Canadians whose jobsdepend on a thriving tourism sector are counting on it.   Bonne semaine to tourism.The Chair: We'll go on to Mr. Rogers.Mr. Churence Rogers(BonavistaBurinTrinity, Lib.): Mr. Chair, Monday was a sad day in my riding of BonavistaBurinTrinity, and indeed our entire province. Please join me as I offersincere condolences to the families of the men who lost their lives at sea in a tragic accident off the coast of St. Lawrence in Placentia Bay.  Ed Norman, his sonScott Norman and his nephew Jody Norman all tragically lost their lives while fishing for crab this past Monday. A fourth man, family friend Isaac Kettle, was alsowith them. After a courageous search mission by Canadian Coast Guard auxiliary members and the Department of National Defence and Provincial Airlines, he isunfortunately still missing. We grieve with the entire town of St. Lawrence as they mourn this tragic loss of life. Mr. Chair, I am sure the entire province ofNewfoundland and Labrador, this parliamentary family and Canadians from coast to coast to coast join me in thinking of these men, along with their friends andfamilies, during this difficult time. Thank you, Mr. Chair.The Chair: We'll now continue with Mr.Simard.Mr. Mario Simard (Jonquire, BQ): Thank you, Mr.Chair. Iwould like to speak to you today about a solid man who unfortunately passed away on May25. We were greatly saddened to learn about the death ofFrancisDufour. This builder of Quebec's political history drew his last breath at the age of91, late Sunday night. Mr.Dufour was the archetypal proudrepresentative of my region who spent his entire life in Jonquire. He first became involved in the Alcan employee's union in Arvida, then continued his civicinvolvement at the municipal level as mayor, then in the Quebec National Assembly as the member for Jonquire. He will be remembered as a man with deep tiesto his community, a man of integrity, a people person, who dedicated himself to serving citizens and advancing the independence movement in Quebec. Onbehalf of the people of the riding of Jonquire and all the people of Quebec, I offer my most sincere condolences to FrancisDufour's family and loved ones. Thankyou.The Chair: We are continuing with MartinezFerrada.Ms. Soraya Martinez Ferrada (Hochelaga, Lib.): Thank you, Mr.Chair. The pandemic has greatly affectedMontreal East, particularly the riding of Hochelaga, which I represent. Today, I'd like to recognize the exceptional work of all the volunteers and organizations inHochelaga that are helping the more vulnerable populations, including Anonyme, CAP St-Barnab, CARE Montral, the Cuisine collective Hochelaga-Maisonneuve,Bouffe Action, the Centre Communautaire Hochelaga, Chic Resto Pop, Jojo Dpannage, Groupe d'Entraide de Mercier-Ouest and many others. I'd like toacknowledge the commitment of the merchants who have rolled up their sleeves, including the Coop Couturires Pop, to make masks. I'd especially like to"}
+{"doc_id":"doc_120","qid":"","text":"Project Manager: {vocalsound} Okay .User Interface: Mm-hmm .Project Manager: So we are here for the concept design meeting . So , we will first start bysummarizing the mm {vocalsound} the previous meeting and the decision we've taken . Uh I will take notes during this meeting so uh that you can uh look at myuh folder to see the summary of this meeting afterwards . So each of you will uh show us the various investigation they've done during uh previous uh hours .We'll then t take decision in concert and then uh uh we will uh define the nest {disfmarker} next task , to have {disfmarker} to be done before the next meeting .So , last time we decided to have a simple interface . We also decided to have a wheel to change channel {disfmarker} previous channel button . Channel digit uhbuttons should be uh protected by plastic cover or something for the remote control to look very simple . We have also button for volume , and to switch on offthe T_V_ . We have also uh the lightening feature for the remote control to be easy to find , and for fast development and low cost we have decided to have noL_C_D_ no voice features . So now uh we will have three presentations . So the conceptual specification by Industrial Designer , the specification of the U_I_ by{disfmarker} or U_I_ {vocalsound}User Interface: Abdul al-Hasred is my name .Project Manager: okay . {vocalsound} And uh the last point is uh trend watchingby Market Expert . So maybe we can start with uh industrial design . So this is the presentation .Industrial Designer: Uh , I_D_ you want ?Project Manager:Maybe I can switch slide uh on your request .Industrial Designer: Yeah . I only v have three slides , so . I just look at the mm {disfmarker} um just this . Onsome web pages to find some documentationProject Manager: Yeah .Industrial Designer: and I think a remote control is , as I s mentioned previously , you justhave a a very simple chip and the mm the user interface is just done usually by push button and in our case we are using a um a wheel control . So uh uh I waslooking basically for that chip , which is uh very very standard , and uh I just looked for the wheel sensor and the standard push button . And um {vocalsound}yeah we can change directly .Project Manager: Yeah .Industrial Designer: In fact I have the number of that element which is very standard for remote control .The push button are usually extremely cheap , but I just have one problem and this is related with the wheel sensor , which seems to be quite expensive .ProjectManager: Okay .User Interface: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: And I think we if we could just talk about that if we really need a wheel sensor or if we can not{disfmarker} if if we could combine something with the push button .Project Manager: Okay .Industrial Designer: Uh a wheel sensor is fifty time the price of a a apush button .User Interface: Yeah .Project Manager: But is it a significant price on the whole remote control ?User Interface: Mm .Project Manager: Because wecan afford up to twelve Euros for the price of the remote control .Industrial Designer: Yeah . YeahProject Manager: So will will will this with uh including allpossible things , so buttons , wheel and the chip , be uh lower than twelve Euros to produce ?Industrial Designer: I I th {vocalsound} But I don't think that uh weshould {disfmarker} We should talk about uh the design of the box also which needs some money .User Interface: Yeah .Project Manager: OkayUser Interface:Also have to say {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: But {disfmarker}User Interface: Did you receive the email about the voice recognition ?Industrial Designer:Um that's all {vocalsound}User Interface: No ?Project Manager: You received something {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: yeah . I haven't checUser Interface:Yeah . You we uh an email from the manufacturing division that they have basically a voice recognition chip already developed .Project Manager: Hmm .UserInterface: Says {disfmarker} Yeah . It says that ri right now they just use it to uh to record uh answers to particular questions . But I guess it could be{disfmarker}Project Manager: And could it be adapted ?User Interface: I guess it's possible . I mean instead of recording the answers you can just uh record uhsomething simpler like a command .Project Manager: Okay and there can uh recognize some commands and stuff ?User Interface: Yeah you reco recognizecommands and you can record new commands and stuff , so if they already have it as uh as a chipProject Manager: Okay . Yeah .User Interface: then we wecould use it .Project Manager: Okay maybe we can just uh listen to this presentation and then take decision later on {disfmarker} according to those news.Industrial Designer: Mm-hmm .User Interface: Okay .Industrial Designer: Yeah but I think it's yeah {disfmarker} Sorry , I haven't written my personalreferences . Um {vocalsound} the I I just want to mention the the problem of the the r wheels sensor which is much more expensive than any push button,Project Manager: Okay .Industrial Designer: and if we could reduce that . We we have already some good things uh with um um with the backlight of the pushbutton .User Interface: Mm-hmm . I have a question about that actually {vocalsound} . Um , what is the purpose of the light ?Industrial Designer: Just to tomake something which is uh slightly more design that uh a squarey box with a rubber {disfmarker}User Interface: Is {disfmarker}Project Manager: You caneasily find the button in the dark or so ?User Interface: But {disfmarker} But in th in the dark uh {disfmarker} Yeah but is going to be always turned on , thelight ?Project Manager: It will be turned on when the when the user move the remote control I think , no ?User Interface: But if you move it then you have it ,you don't need to find it .Project Manager: Hmm .User Interface: You can see the buttons better , of course .Project Manager: Yeah . Yeah .User Interface: Yeah.Project Manager: Yeah . True .Industrial Designer: Yeah . Actually .User Interface: But if you move it then you have to have some sensor to {disfmarker} whenyou move it to detect your movement .Industrial Designer: As soon as you thought to move the the remote control you have the light .User Interface: Yeah , butyou need another sensor for that , right ?Industrial Designer: Yeah . Again .User Interface: Yeah {vocalsound} no it's too expensive . {vocalsound}IndustrialDesigner: I don't think that this is really expensive , but at the end this is plenty of unexpen eh very cheap devices but uh the bill starts to be {disfmarker}UserInterface: Okay . Mm . Extra . Yeah , okay . Mm . Yeah , but I expected also the wheel would be cheap but you tell me that it is very expensive so ,IndustrialDesigner: {vocalsound} First of all I was thinking to have a a continuous lightUser Interface: yeah .Industrial Designer: and you w when t you you you you pressthe on button you have the light on your remote control , when you want to turn off your device {disfmarker}User Interface: Mm . Mm-hmm .Project Manager:But it can be uh battery consuming , no ? To have the light always on ?Industrial Designer: Yeah , a little bit . A little bit .User Interface: Mm .Project Manager:Well we will discuss that after maybeIndustrial Designer: Yeah .User Interface: OkayProject Manager: the other presentations .User Interface: . So uh my one , ituh should be in the shared folder .Project Manager: Yeah .User Interface: So . It was last time I saw it .Project Manager: And it is .User Interface: Okay . So,Project Manager: Okay .User Interface: {vocalsound} just move to the next slide . {vocalsound} So basically {vocalsound} want very simple , right ? That's themajor idea , as simple as possible .Project Manager: Yeah . Yeah .User Interface: So I just look at some current designs uh on the web , of usually morecomplicated remote controls . And let's look at two of them because uh th even though they have many buttons they look quite simple . And in our case we justuh reject the buttons what we don't need and it become even simpler .Project Manager: Yeah .User Interface: Um . {vocalsound} So .Project Manager: And alsodoes it uh fit well in hand ? Because it was uh th your wrist problem with the usage .User Interface: Yeah . Well this these uh these remotes are quite big , so goto the next page , so . We have all these buttons as you can see , but most of them , we just need the ones in the middle .Project Manager: Yeah {vocalsound} .Yeah .Industrial Designer: Yeah .User Interface: So , from the bottom or whatever is there , uh the uh the numbers and then the top , uh until the ten also , thismiddle part ,Project Manager: Yeah . Yeah .User Interface: and on the left one is exactly the same . So it's basically more or less how we would like it , with a bigvolume control , big channel control , and mute and power , yeah ?Project Manager: Yeah .User Interface: These are the basic thing .Project Manager: So it's onlythe central part .User Interface: So basically , w software we will build will look more or less the same as these two .Project Manager: Yeah . With a maybe amore ergonomic design on on the bottom part .User Interface: Yeah , if you have , for example {vocalsound} {disfmarker} I think that the volume and thebuttons that are there on the top are not very easy to reach with your thumb .Project Manager: Yeah .User Interface: It could be on the right side , for example.Project Manager: Okay .User Interface: Yeah . Because we don't have these input buttons and this other stuff that they have . And I think that the plastic coveris not very good uh idea becauseProject Manager: Okay .User Interface: you open it , it can break , you ca you can do various things .Project Manager: Okay .SUser Interface: Uh you just need to put the channel numbers somewhere a bit out of the way .Project Manager: Okay . Will be down or {disfmarker}UserInterface: So that they're separate a bit ,Project Manager: Okay .User Interface: yeah . Uh and it's easy to press the other {disfmarker} the big buttons , but uh ,it's not that difficult to press the the channel buttons either . Mm . Yeah , I think that if you put the cover it will be even more difficult for the user .ProjectManager: Okay .User Interface: Alright , you won't {disfmarker} yeah . Usually what {disfmarker} I have noticed that people put the plastic cover on things thatyou normally don't mess with , like buttons for t uh tuning the channels and stuff like that .Project Manager: Okay .User Interface: Yeah . That you want toprotect a bit . And I think it's uh it's reasonable .Project Manager: Okay .User Interface: So , I don't think {disfmarker} Yeah , this is just the the wheel .ProjectManager: Mm .User Interface: We could use the {disfmarker} some wheels can be pushed down , could use the push down of the wheel for the record if we want.Industrial Designer: Mm-hmm .User Interface: Uh so we could just basically use one just wheel and uh user could use just the wheel to do everything with thechannels in that case .Project Manager: Yeah . Maybe the wheel will be a {vocalsound} good advantage over our competitors .Industrial Designer: Mm-hmm.Project Manager: Because otherwise it's pretty standard apart the fact that it's very simple . So maybe it's worse to uh to have more expense on that's thataspect .Industrial Designer: To s Mm-hmm .User Interface: Yeah , I guess the market researcher will tell us all about that .Project Manager: Okay . So we can"}

So , let 's keep the same numbers on them .PhD B: Yeah , OK ,that 's a good idea .Grad A: OK , Dan , are you on ?PhD B: I 'm on {disfmarker} I 'm on two and I should be on .Grad A: Good .PhD B: Yeah .Undergrad D: Wantto join the meeting , Dave ? Do we {disfmarker} do {disfmarker} do we have a spare , uh {disfmarker}Grad A: And I 'm getting lots of responses on differentones , so I assume {pause} the various and assorted P Z Ms are on .Undergrad D: We ' r we 're {disfmarker} we ' r This is {disfmarker} this {disfmarker} this isa meeting meeting .Postdoc E: This is abou we 're {disfmarker} we 're mainly being taped but we 're gonna talk about , uh , transcription for the m futuremeeting meetings .Grad A: Stuff . Yeah , this is not something you need to attend . So .Postdoc E: Yeah . e OK .PhD C: You 're always having one of those days ,Dave .Postdoc E: Y you 'd be welcome .Grad A: Besides , I don't want anyone who has a weird accent .Postdoc E: You 'd be welcome .Grad A: Right , Dan?Undergrad D: So , I don't understand if it 's neck mounted you don't get very good performance .PhD C: It 's not neck mounted . It 's supposed to be h headmounted .Undergrad D: Yeah . It {disfmarker} it should be head mounted . Right ?Grad A: Well , then put it on your head .PhD B: I don't know .PhD C: Right.Grad A: What are you doing ?Undergrad D: Cuz when you do this , you can {disfmarker} Rouww - Rouww .Postdoc E: Why didn't I {disfmarker} you were sayingthat but I could hear you really well on the {disfmarker} on the transcription {disfmarker} on the , uh , tape .Grad A: Well , I m I would prefer that people wore iton their headPhD B: I {disfmarker} I don't know .PhD C: iGrad A: but they were complaining about it . Because it 's not {disfmarker} it doesn't go over the ears.Undergrad D: Why ?Postdoc E: It 's badly designed .Grad A: It 's very badly designed so it 's {disfmarker}PhD B: It 's very badly designed ?Undergrad D: Whatdo you mean it doesn't go over the ears ?PhD B: Why ? It 's not s It 's not supposed to cover up your ears .Grad A: Yeah but , there 's nowhere to put the pad soit 's comfortable .PhD B: I mean , it 's only badly {disfmarker}Postdoc E: So that 's what you 're d He 's got it on his temples so it cuts off his circulation .PhD B:Oh , that 's strange .PhD C: Yeah , that 's {disfmarker} that 's what I have .Grad A: And it feels so good that way .PhD C: It feels so good when I stop .Grad A:So I {disfmarker} I again would like to do some digits .Undergrad D: Somebody wanna {disfmarker}Postdoc E: Try it .Grad A: Um .Undergrad D: Somebodywanna close the door ?Grad A: Sure .PhD B: OK .Postdoc E: We could do it with noise .Grad A: So let me {disfmarker}PhD C: You 're always doing digits .Grad A:Well , you know , I 'm just that sort of {disfmarker} digit - y g sorta guy . OK . So this is Adam .Postdoc E: Uh , this is the same one I had before .Grad A: I doubtit .PhD B: It 's still the same words .Grad A: I think we 're session four by the way . Or m it might be five .Undergrad D: Psss ! Oh , that 's good .Postdoc E:NoGrad A: I didn't bring my previous thing .PhD B: We didn't {disfmarker}Postdoc E: Now , just to be sure , the numbers on the back , this is the channel ?PhDB: That 's the microphone number .Postdoc E: That 's the microphone number .Grad A: Yeah , d leave the channel blank .Postdoc E: Uh - oh . OK , good.Undergrad D: But number has to be {disfmarker} ? So we have to look up the number .Postdoc E: Five {disfmarker}Grad A: Right .Undergrad D: OK , good.Postdoc E: Good . OK . Well , this is Jane , on mike number five . Um . I just start ? Do I need to say anything more ?Grad A: Uh , transcript number .PhD B:Transcript number {disfmarker}PhD C: OK , this is Eric on microphone number three ,Undergrad D: This is Beck on mike four .Grad A: Thanks . Should I turn offthe VU meter Dan ? Do you think that makes any difference ?PhD B: Oh , God . No , let me do it .Grad A: Why ? Are you gonna do something other than hit \" quit\" ?PhD B: No , but I 'm gonna look at the uh , logs as well .Grad A: Oh . Should have done it before .Postdoc E: Uh , you said turn off the what ?Grad A: The VUmeter which tells you what the levels on the various mikes are and there was one hypothesis that perhaps that {disfmarker} {vocalsound} the act of recordingthe VU meter was one of the things that contributed to the errors .Postdoc E: Oh . Oh , I see .Undergrad D: Yeah , but Eric , uh , you didn't think that was areasonable hypothesis , right ?Postdoc E: I See .Grad A: That was me ,Undergrad D: Oh , I 'm sorry yGrad A: I thought that was {disfmarker}Undergrad D: Thatwas malarkey .Grad A: Well , the only reason that could be is if the driver has a bug . Right ? Because the machine just isn't very heavily loaded .Undergrad D: Nochance of that .Grad A: No chance of that . Just because it 's beta . Look OK ?PhD B: Yeah , there {disfmarker} there {disfmarker} there was {disfmarker} therewas a {disfmarker} there was a bug . There was a glitch last time we ran .Undergrad D: Are - are yo are you recording where the table mikes are by the way?PhD B: No .Undergrad D: Do you know which channels {disfmarker}Grad A: Yeah , we usually do that .PhD B: No , we don't .Grad A: Yeah .PhD B: But we{disfmarker} we ought to st we ought to standardize .Undergrad D: Why not ?PhD B: I think , {vocalsound} uh , I s I spoke to somebody , Morgan , {comment}about that . I think {disfmarker} I think we should put mar Well , no , w we can do that .Undergrad D: Why don't you just do this ?Grad A: I mean , that 's whatwe 've done before .PhD B: I know what they {disfmarker} they 're {disfmarker} they 're four , three , two , one . In order now .Undergrad D: Four .PhD B:Three , two , {vocalsound} and one .Undergrad D: Three .PhD B: But I think {disfmarker} I think we should put them in standard positions . I think we shouldmake little marks on the table top .Grad A: Which means we need to move this thing , and sorta decide how we 're actually going to do things .PhD B: So that wecan put them {disfmarker}Postdoc E: Oh , OK .PhD B: I guess that 's the point .Grad A: So .PhD B: It 'll be a lot easier if we have a {disfmarker} if we have thempermanently in place or something like that .Grad A: Right .Postdoc E: I do wish there were big booms coming down from the ceiling .PhD B: You do ?Postdoc E:Yeah .PhD C: Would it make you feel more important ?Grad A: Mmm .Postdoc E: Yeah , yeah , yeah .PhD C: I see .Undergrad D: Wait till the projector getsinstalled .Postdoc E: You know .Grad A: That 'll work .Postdoc E: Oh , that 'll be good .Grad A: That 'll work .PhD B: Oh , gosh .Undergrad D: Cuz it 's gonna hangdown , make noise .Postdoc E: OK .PhD B: When 's it gonna be installed ?Postdoc E: OK .Undergrad D: Well , {vocalsound} it depends onPhD B: I see .UndergradD: Is this b is this being recorded ?Grad A: That 's right .Undergrad D: Uh , I think Lila actually is almost getting r pretty close to even getting ready to put out thepurchase order .PhD B: OK . Cool .Undergrad D: I handed it off to her about a month ago .PhD B: I see .Grad A: OK , so , topic of this meeting is I wanna talk alittle bit about transcription . Um , I 've looked a little bit into commercial transcription services and Jane has been working on doing transcription . Uh , and so wewan wanna decide what we 're gonna do with that and then get an update on the electronics , and then , uh , maybe also talk a little bit about some infrastructureand tools , and so on . Um , you know , eventually we 're probably gonna wanna distribute this thing and we should decide how we 're gonna {disfmarker} howwe 're gonna handle some of these factors . So .PhD B: Distribute what ?Grad A: Hmm ?PhD B: The data ?Grad A: Right . Right . I mean , so we 're {disfmarker}we 're collecting a corpus and I think it 's gonna be generally useful . I mean , it seems like it 's not a corpus which is {disfmarker} uh , has been done before .And so I think people will be interested in having {disfmarker} having it ,PhD B: Oh .Grad A: and so we will {disfmarker}Undergrad D: u Using , like , audio D VDs or something like that ?Grad A: Excuse me ?PhD B: Yes .Undergrad D: Audio D VGrad A: Well , or something . Yeah , audio D V C Ds ,Undergrad D: Or tGradA: you know .Undergrad D: Yeah . tapes .Grad A: And {disfmarker} and so how we do we distribute the transcripts , how do we distribute the audio files , how dowe {disfmarker} how do we just do all that infrastructure ?PhD C: Well , I think {disfmarker} I mean , for that particular issue ther there are known sourceswhere people go to {disfmarker} to find these kind of things like the LDC for instance .Postdoc E: Yeah ,Grad A: Right , but {disfmarker} but so should we do it inthe same format as LDCPostdoc E: that 's right .Grad A: and what does that mean to what we 've done already ?PhD B: Right . The {disfmarker} It 's not somuch the actu The logistics of distribution are secondary to {pause} preparing the data in a suitable form for distribution .PhD C: Right .Grad A: Right . So , uh ,as it is , it 's sort of a {pause} ad - hoc combination of stuff Dan set and stuff I set up , which we may wanna make a little more formal . So .PhD B: And the otherthing is that , um , University of Washington may want to start recording meetings as well ,Grad A: Right .PhD B: in which case w w we 'll have to decide what we've actually got so that we can give them a copy .Grad A: That 's right .Undergrad D: A field trip .Grad A: Yeah . I was actually thinking I wouldn't mind spendingthe summer up there . That would be kind of fun .PhD B: Oh , really ?Grad A: Yeah . Visit my friends and spend some time {disfmarker}PhD B: Different for you .Yes .Grad A: Well , and then also I have a bunch of stuff for doing this digits . So I have a bunch of scripts with X Waves , and some Perl scripts , and other thingsthat make it really easy to extract out {vocalsound} and align where the digits are . And if U d UW 's going to do the same thing I think it 's worth while for themto do these digits tasks as well .Undergrad D: Mm - hmm .Grad A: And what I 've done is pretty ad - hoc , um , so we might wanna change it over to something a"}

So {disfmarker} Oh , good morning everyone .User Interface: Good morning.Industrial Designer: Good morning .Project Manager: I'd uh like to welcome you to our first meeting . I've prepared a little presentation . My name is {gap} anduh I hope you will introduce yourself uh in a few minutes , as will I . Um I'm the Project Manager of this project , and uh , well I will tell you {gap} on whatactually is the project . This is uh the agenda for our first meeting . Um this is the opening , then we will get {disfmarker} {gap} I will hope we will get acquaintedto each other . We'll do a little tool training with these two things . We'll take a look at the project plan . Uh there will be time for discussion . Actually we have todiscuss because we have to create a product . And then we will close this session . Um but first of all we I'd like to uh introduce you to this room . Um as youprobably have noticed there are little black uh fields on the table . Um you have to put your laptop exactly in that field so the little cameras can see your face .Um there are camerasIndustrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: everywhere around the room especially here for your face , of course , and this isn't apie , it's a a set of microphonesIndustrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: and there are microphones here also . But please uh don't be afraid of them.User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: They won't hurt you . Um well uhUser Interface: Well {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}ProjectManager: I said I'm the Project Manager and uh I'm hoping uh for a good project and uh I'd like to hear uh who you are and what your functions are uh on thisproject . Let's start with the ladies {vocalsound} {vocalsound} .User Interface: Well uh I'm uh {gap} and my uh function is User Interface Design , I think.Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound} So uh that's me .Industrial Designer: Okay , uh I'm {gap} uh I'm the Industrial Designer and Iuh hope to uh {disfmarker} look forward to uh a very uh pleasing uh end of this uh project .Project Manager: Okay , so I .User Interface: Me too .Marketing: Myname's {gap} . I'm uh {vocalsound} Marketing Expert . {vocalsound} My job is in the company to promote company or promote products to the customers . So Ialso h hope we have a pleasant uh working with uh with each other .Project Manager: Okay , well we have some expertise from uh different pieces of the of thecompany .User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: That's good . Um well I said uh we're working on a project and the aim for the project is to to create a{disfmarker} to design a new remote control which uh has to be original , trendy and of course , user friendly . {vocalsound} And uh I hope we have theexpertise to create such a project {disfmarker} such a product . Um the way we hope to achieve that is uh the following methods . It consists of three phases ,namely the functional design , conceptual design and detailed design . As you can see , all of these phases consists of two parts , namely individual work part anda meeting where we will discuss uh our work so far . Okay . But first I will uh tell you something about the tools we have here . I already talked about thecameras and microphones , but they are not of uh much use to us . Uh we will have to take advantage of these two things . They are smart boards . As you cansee , you can give a presentation on them . And uh this one here is a white board . I will uh instruct you about that soon . Um as you also noticed uh thispresentation document is in our uh project folder and every document you put in this folder uh is uh it is possible to show that here in our meeting room . Um andyeah there are available on both smart boards but I think we will uh mainly use this one for the documents in the shared folder . As you can see , this is the sametool bar uh as is located here . Um the most functions uh we will use will be to to add a new page , um uh to go back and forward between pages , and of courseuh to save it every now and then . Um and this is the pen with which you can draw on the board , for instance like this if everything's okay ,User Interface:{vocalsound}Project Manager: but I first have to put it on the pen , you see I'm new to it too .User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Um and then youcan write things like test or whatever you want .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface: Oh .Project Manager: As you can see you have to move it alittle bit slow , it's not such a fast board , it's a smart board but also a slow board .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}ProjectManager: Uh but you can write things and of course you can also , when you click here , uh erase things , so we have uh est left . And um you can also delete anentire page , but we ask you not to do that . Just simply create a new one and uh start all over because we want to save all the results . Um does everyoneunderstand thisUser Interface: {vocalsound} So we can't erase anything .Project Manager: nice application ?Industrial Designer: Yeah .Marketing: Mm-hmm.Project Manager: Well you can erase it with the eraser , but uh you shouldn't delete an entire page , but just create a new blank one .User Interface: Right.Marketing: SProject Manager: I will delete this one now because we don't use it yet .User Interface: Alright .Project Manager: But you can of course erase whenyou make a mistake , but don't uh delete entire pages . And you can also um let's see I think it's here uh change the uh colour of your pen , for instance take ablue one and uh change the line width like to five . Um that's what you will need for our first exercise , because I'm uh going to ask you to draw your favouriteanimal .User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: It's also to gets to know each other because um I'm asking three things, uh for that uh drawing ,Industrial Designer: Okay .Project Manager: to do it on a blank sheet , with different colours and I just showed you how to pick a colour ,and also with different pen widths which I also showed you . Um and a favourite characteristic can be just uh one word . Well I'm not very good at drawing , but Iwill uh go first and um try to draw {disfmarker}User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Or maybe you should guess what I'm drawing , eh .{vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: Good .User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Hmm.Marketing: {gap} No .User Interface: It's a sheep . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: DinosIndustrialDesigner: Seal , a seal . {vocalsound}Marketing: Dinosaur .User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: Beaver .User Interface: {gap} A beaver .{vocalsound}Industrial Designer: A be {vocalsound}Project Manager: Well it uhUser Interface: It's weird . {vocalsound}Project Manager: could be everything.Industrial Designer: Mm . With a tail and a mouth .Project Manager: Maybe when I put onUser Interface: It has wings ?Marketing: Turtle .Project Manager: thisthing it could be a turtle , or a snail ,Industrial Designer: Snail . {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound} Well the snail doesn't have legs .Industrial Designer:Okay .Project Manager: But a turtle has . And those are slow . And I hope our project group will not be slow ,Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager:but we will uh work to a good resultIndustrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: and do it uh as fast as we can . Okay , time for another animal . Wouldyou like to go next ?User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound} No problem . No problem .Industrial Designer: Sure .User Interface: {vocalsound} Ohright .Marketing: Mm . It was four months ?User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: Nice , okay .User Interface: Well . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer:{vocalsound} The hell .User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound} To make it a little bit easier . {gap}User Interface: {vocalsound} It's a giraffe.Industrial Designer: Make that cute . {vocalsound}User Interface: Or a dinosaur . {vocalsound}Marketing: No , it's a giraffe . 'Kay .User Interface:{gap}Marketing: I think it's easy to r uh to recognise as a giraffe .User Interface: Yes . Giraffe .Industrial Designer: {gap}Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Marketing:{vocalsound} Yeah , the favourite charis characteristic is that the long neck , {vocalsound} it can reach everything . And I hope I can also reach a lot with thisproject . So that's my favourite animal .Project Manager: Okay .Marketing: Anything else you need to know ?Project Manager: Could you write the words , uhunderneath it ? Or more words .Marketing: Oh , uh {gap}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Tall . {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: Tall . So,User Interface: Should I uh {disfmarker}Marketing: 'kay .User Interface: Alright .Marketing: {gap}User Interface: So I can draw , but uh {disfmarker} Uh . Well. {vocalsound} Oh .Industrial Designer: B {vocalsound}Marketing: It's a mouse .User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Bunny rabbit .{vocalsound}Marketing: A bunny rabbit . {vocalsound}User Interface: {gap} Oh wrong one . Uh . {gap}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing:{vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound} Well uhIndustrial Designer: {gap}User Interface: you can guess what it is , I hope . {vocalsound}Marketing: Uh-huh .No problem .Project Manager: Little rabbits .User Interface: It's a rabbit .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound} And uh well uh it's uhquick , I guess . That's uh my uh favourite animal . {vocalsound}Project Manager: Okay , thank you .Industrial Designer: Okay .Project Manager: And our finaldrawing .User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: Bob Ross .User Interface: A dolphin . {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer:{vocalsound} Okay , um .Marketing: Dolphin .Industrial Designer: Uh I uh draw I I've drawn a dolphin because of its intelligence .User Interface:{vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound}User Interface: Right .Industrial Designer: One of the most intelligent uhProject Manager:Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: animals in our world .User Interface: Well .Marketing: {gap}User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Yeah intelligent.User Interface: With an E_ .Project Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: I've I've uh {disfmarker}User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Eraser.Project Manager: {vocalsound}User Interface: You can try out the eraser now . {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Pen . Well notperfect , but okay .Project Manager: Okay , wellUser Interface: {gap}Project Manager: thank you very much . I can see we have some uh drawing talent uh inthis group ,Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound} Not really . {vocalsound}Project Manager: huh ? Well , nice animals , nice words .Sounds good . Um back to business , back to the money part . Um from the finance department I have learned that we are aiming for a selling price of twenty fiveEuros . And we're hoping for a aim of fifty million Euros and uh we are hoping to achieve that uh by aiming for an international market . And the production cost"}

That 's great .Grad G: So I think maybe what 's causing it to crash is I keep starting it and then stopping it tosee if it 's working .

So , I won't do that anymore .Postdoc B: And it lookslike you 've found a way of uh mapping the location to the {disfmarker} without having people have to give their names each time ?PhD A: Sounds like aninitialization thing .Postdoc B: I mean it 's like you have the {disfmarker} So you know that {disfmarker}Grad G: No .Postdoc B: I mean , are you going to writedown {pause} that I sat here ?Grad G: I 'm gonna collect the digit forms and write it down .Postdoc B: OK .PhD C: Oh , OK .Grad G: So {disfmarker} So theyshould be right with what 's on the digit forms .

OK , OK .PhD A: Oh sorry , goahead .Professor E: So uh , you see , Don , the unbridled excitement of the work that we have on this project .Grad H: OK .Professor E: It 's just uh{disfmarker}Grad H: Umh .Professor E: Uh , you know , it doesn't seem like a bad idea to have {comment} that information .Grad G: And I 'm surprised I sort of{disfmarker} I 'm surprised I forgot that ,Professor E: Yeah , I {disfmarker} I 'd {disfmarker} I think it 's someGrad G: but uh I think that would be a good thingto add . After I just printed out a zillion of them .Professor E: Yeah , well , that 's {disfmarker} Um , so I {disfmarker} I do have a {disfmarker} a an agendasuggestion . Uh , we {disfmarker} I think the things that we talk about in this meeting uh tend to be a mixture of uh procedural uh mundane things and uhresearch points and um I was thinking I think it was a meeting a couple of weeks ago that we {disfmarker} we spent much of the time talking about the mundanestuff cuz that 's easier to get out of the way and then we sort of drifted into the research and maybe five minutes into that Andreas had to leave . So{vocalsound} uh I 'm suggesting we turn it around and {disfmarker} and uh sort of we have {disfmarker} anybody has some mundane points that we could sendan email later , uh hold them for a bit , and let 's talk about the {disfmarker} the research - y kind of things . Um , so um the one th one thing I know that wehave on that is uh we had talked a {disfmarker} a couple weeks before um uh about the uh {disfmarker} the stuff you were doing with {disfmarker} with uh umuh l l attempting to locate events , we had a little go around trying to figure out what you meant by \" events \" but I think , you know , what we had meant by \"events \" I guess was uh points of overlap between speakers . But I th I gather from our discussion a little earlier today that you also mean uh interruptions withsomething elsePhD D: Yeah .Professor E: like some other noise .PhD D: Uh - huh . Yeah .Professor E: Yes ? You mean that as an event also .PhD D: ToProfessorE: So at any rate you were {disfmarker} you 've {disfmarker} you 've done some work on thatPhD D: right .Professor E: and um then the other thing would be itmight be nice to have a preliminary discussion of some of the other uh research uh areas that uh we 're thinking about doing . Um , I think especially since you{disfmarker} you haven't been in {disfmarker} in these meetings for a little bit , maybe you have some discussion of some of the p the plausible things to look atnow that we 're starting to get data , uh and one of the things I know that also came up uh is some discussions that {disfmarker} that uh {disfmarker} that uhJane had with Lokendra uh about some {disfmarker} some {disfmarker} some um uh work about I {disfmarker} I {disfmarker} I d I {disfmarker} I don't wantto try to say cuz I {disfmarker} I 'll say it wrong , but anyway some {disfmarker} some potential collaboration there about {disfmarker} about the {disfmarker}about the {disfmarker} working with these data .PhD C: Oh . Sure .Professor E: So . So , uh .Grad G: You wanna just go around ?Professor E: Uh . {pause} Well ,I don't know if we {disfmarker} if this is sort of like everybody has something to contribute sort of thing , I think there 's just just a couple {disfmarker} a couplepeople primarily um but um Uh , wh why don't {disfmarker} Actually I think that {disfmarker} that last one I just said we could do fairly quickly so why don't you{disfmarker} you start with that .Postdoc B: OK . Shall I {disfmarker} shall I just start ? OK .Professor E: Yeah , just explain what it was .Postdoc B: Um , so , uh, he was interested in the question of {disfmarker} you know , relating to his {disfmarker} to the research he presented recently , um of inference structures ,and uh , the need to build in , um , this {disfmarker} this sort of uh mechanism for understanding of language . And he gave the example in his talk about how{pause} um , e a I 'm remembering it just off the top of my head right now , but it 's something about how um , i \" Joe slipped \" you know , \" John had washedthe floor \" or something like that . And I don't have it quite right , but that kind of thing , where you have to draw the inference that , OK , there 's this timesequence , but also the {disfmarker} the {disfmarker} the causal aspects of the uh floor and {disfmarker} and how it might have been the cause of the fall andthat um it was the other person who fell than the one who cleaned it and it {disfmarker} {comment} These sorts of things . So , I looked through the transcriptthat we have so far , {comment} and um , fou identified a couple different types of things of that type and um , one of them was something like uh , during thecourse of the transcript , um um , w we had gone through the part where everyone said which channel they were on and which device they were on , and um ,the question was raised \" Well , should we restart the recording at this point ? \" And {disfmarker} and Dan Ellis said , \" Well , we 're just so far ahead of the gameright now {pause} we really don't need to \" . Now , how would you interpret that without a lot of inference ? So , the inferences that are involved are things like ,OK , so , how do you interpret \" ahead of the game \" ? You know . So it 's the {disfmarker} it 's {pause} i What you {disfmarker} what you int what you draw{disfmarker} you know , the conclusions that you need to draw are that space is involved in recording ,Grad G: Hmm , metaphorically .Postdoc B: that um , i that{pause} i we have enough space , and he continues , like \" we 're so ahead of the game cuz now we have built - in downsampling \" . So you have to sort of getthe idea that um , \" ahead of the game \" is sp speaking with respect to space limitations , that um that in fact downsampling is gaining us enough space , andthat therefore we can keep the recording we 've done so far . But there are a lot of different things like that .Grad G: So , do you think his interest is in using thisas {pause} a data source , or {pause} training material , or what ?Professor E: Well , I {disfmarker} I should maybe interject to say this started off with adiscussion that I had with him , so um we were trying to think of ways that his interests could interact with oursGrad G: Mm - hmm .Professor E: and um uh Ithought that if we were going to project into the future when we had a lot of data , uh and um such things might be useful for that in or before we invested toomuch uh effort into that he should uh , with Jane 's help , look into some of the data that we 're {disfmarker} already have and see , is there anything to this atall ?Grad G: Mm - hmm .Professor E: Is there any point which you think that , you know , you could gain some advantage and some potential use for it . Cuz itcould be that you 'd look through it and you say \" well , this is just the wrong {pause} task for {disfmarker} for him to pursue his {disfmarker} \"Grad G: Wrong ,yeah .Professor E: And {disfmarker} and uh I got the impression from your mail that in fact there was enough things like this just in the little sample that{disfmarker} that you looked at that {disfmarker} that it 's plausible at least .Postdoc B: It 's possible . Uh , he was {disfmarker} he {disfmarker} he{disfmarker} you know {disfmarker} We met and he was gonna go and uh you know , y look through them more systematicallyProfessor E: Yeah .Postdoc B: andthen uh meet again .Professor E: Yeah .Postdoc B: So it 's , you know , not a matter of a {disfmarker}Professor E: Yeah .Postdoc B: But , yeah , I think{disfmarker} I think it was optimistic .Professor E: So anyway , that 's {disfmarker} that 's e a quite different thing from anything we 've talked about that , youknow , might {disfmarker} might {disfmarker} might come out from some of this .PhD C: But he can use text , basically . I mean , he 's talking about just usingtextPostdoc B: That 's his major {disfmarker} I mentioned several that w had to do with implications drawn from intonational contoursPhD C: pretty much , or{disfmarker} ?Postdoc B: and {pause} that wasn't as directly relevant to what he 's doing . He 's interested in these {disfmarker} these knowledge structures,PhD C: OK .PhD D: Yeah , interesting .Postdoc B: inferences that you draw {pause} i from {disfmarker}Professor E: I mean , he certainly could use text , but wewere in fact looking to see if there {disfmarker} is there {disfmarker} is there something in common between our interest in meetings and his interest in{disfmarker} in {disfmarker} in this stuff . So .Grad G: And I imagine that transcripts of speech {disfmarker} I mean text that is speech {disfmarker} probablyhas more of those than sort of prepared writing . I {disfmarker} I don't know whether it would or not , but it seems like it would .Professor E: I don't know ,probably de probably depends on what the prepared writing was . But .Postdoc B: Yeah , I don't think I would make that leap , because i in narratives , you know{disfmarker} I mean , if you spell out everything in a narrative , it can be really tedious ,Grad G: Mm - hmm .Postdoc B: so .Grad G: Yeah , I 'm just thinking ,you know , when you 're {disfmarker} when you 're face to face , you have a lot of backchannel and {disfmarker} And {disfmarker}Postdoc B: Oh . That aspect.Grad G: Yeah . And so I think it 's just easier to do that sort of broad inference jumping if it 's face to face . I mean , so , if I just read that Dan was saying \" we're ahead of the game \" {comment} in that {disfmarker} in that context ,Postdoc B: Well {disfmarker} Yeah .Grad G: I might not realize that he was talkingabout disk space as opposed to anything else .Postdoc B: I {disfmarker} you know , I {disfmarker} I had several that had to do with backchannels and thiswasn't one of them .Grad G: Uh - huh .Postdoc B: This {disfmarker} this one really does um m make you leap from {disfmarker} So he said , you know , \" we 'reahead of the game , w we have built - in downsampling \" .Grad G: Mm - hmm .Postdoc B: And the inference , i if you had it written down , would be{disfmarker}Grad G: I guess it would be the same .Postdoc B: Uh - huh . But there are others that have backchannelling , it 's just he was less interested in those.PhD F: Can I {disfmarker} Sorry to interrupt .

Okay . {vocalsound} So. Right . You ready back there ? {vocalsound} Uh okay . Welcome everyone . Um this is the kick-off meeting for the day . Um we're the new group uh to create anew remote control for Real Reaction . As you can see our agenda is to open up the meeting , um become acquainted with each other , um have a little trainingon tools , uh create a plan , discuss things and and we only have twenty minut twenty five minutes total . Okay . The new remote control is to be original , trendyand user-friendly . That , Steph , is your part , is the user-friendliness . The originality um is gonna take all of us . Um the trendiness we'll probably go look at{disfmarker} for some marketing research information from you , Sarah . Um and we'll get on with it . Okay , so we'll have a functional design individual work umwith meeting and then conceptual design t and then detailed design . Okay ? Right . Everybody's supposed to try out the whiteboard . Kate , why don't you try itfirst , if you can either bring your things with you , I guess {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Uh yeah , if I can pick up with all these bits and pieces , hang on.Project Manager: And while you're doing that we'll try and figure out how to hook these things on as well , 'cause we're all gonna have to be able to walk around.Industrial Designer: Uh right , so you want an animal and the characteristics of that animal . {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Doyou have to be able to recognise what animal it is ? {vocalsound} Um {disfmarker}Project Manager: Uh I do not think so ,User Interface: {vocalsound}{vocalsound} Are we all gonna draw a cat ?Project Manager: I think it's just to try out the whiteboard . {vocalsound} {vocalsound} Ah {vocalsound} .IndustrialDesigner: {vocalsound} Only animal I could thin I could draw {vocalsound} .Marketing: I know .Industrial Designer: Its a sort of bunny rabbit cat .{vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: You can tell it's not a bunny rabbit by the ears .Project Manager:Uh-huh .Industrial Designer: Um I suppose it should have a mouth as well , sort of {disfmarker}Project Manager: Okay .Industrial Designer: Right , yeah .ProjectManager: Great . And the characteristics ?Industrial Designer: Um the favourite characteristics of the cat um {disfmarker} the whiskers I think , um becausethey're the easiest to draw .Project Manager: Uh-huh .Industrial Designer: In fact , I'll give it some more {disfmarker}Project Manager: Okay .IndustrialDesigner: {vocalsound} Oh , and the tailProject Manager: Fantastic . Since you're handy as well , why don't you do yours next , Steph . I think it's to get us usedto using the pen .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Yes . Um sure it's not to test our artistic {disfmarker}Project Manager: Uh no . {vocalsound} A mouse-y?Industrial Designer: It's a mouse .User Interface: That's not a mouse-y , no .Industrial Designer: No it's not a mouse . It's a wombat .Project Manager: Oh .UserInterface: It's a ratty .Project Manager: Argh .Industrial Designer: A what ?Project Manager: Rat .User Interface: A ratty .Project Manager: Not a mouse , a rat.Industrial Designer: A webbed foot . Webbed f {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound} It's clothes . That's it's clothes . {vocalsound}Project Manager:{vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Oh right {vocalsound} .User Interface: It's a ratty with a with a with a very long tail .Project Manager: And your favouritecharacteristics of that animal .User Interface: I love whiskers . Uh they're intelligent and they're cheeky {vocalsound} and uh fantastic petsProject Manager: Oh.User Interface: and very friendly .Project Manager: Okay . Kate ?Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} {vocalsound}User Interface: And they sit on your shoulderand whisper the answers to your homework in your ear when you're doing your homework .Project Manager: {vocalsound}Marketing: Thanks .Project Manager:Oh , a fish .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Gosh ,User Interface: A shark ?Industrial Designer: why didn't I think of fish ? That's even easier to draw than cat .{vocalsound}Marketing: Mm {vocalsound} this is very representational fish . {vocalsound}Project Manager: Oh , okay .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}ProjectManager: Fine .Marketing: Um I like them because they're sleekProject Manager: Favourite characteristics ?Marketing: and they have a lot of freedom but theyalso do n uh swim in groups ,Project Manager: 'Kay .Marketing: so .Project Manager: So they have team elements . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer:{vocalsound}Marketing: Do you have a favourite one ?Project Manager: I'm afraid I'm with Steph . And I think your pen's running out of whatever . But I'mafraid I take the coward's way out , and the cat's looking the other way . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}ProjectManager: He's hiding .Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Um cats are sometimes very independent . My parents had cats . Uh and they can mm decidefor themselves what is best . Okay . Now um {vocalsound} we have to get down to the nitty-gritty of how to make this and this remote control has to be sold{disfmarker} um we're to sell it for twenty five Euros , with a profit aim ultimately of fifty million Euros . That tells you something about how many um we have tosell on an international scale . Um would be an awful lot of these , would be like what , a hundred million of them um to make twenty five Euros on each one andto make a total profit of fifty million . Um the production is to only cost twelve and a half Euros per item . Now if they cost twelve and a half , you're selling it fortwenty five , you're making twelve and a half Euros each . Um and we're to make a profit of fifty million , that's t uh {disfmarker} can you do the maths and howmany are we selling ?Marketing: {vocalsound} Uh yeah . {vocalsound} I was just wondering if that's the um {disfmarker} If fifty percent is normal{disfmarker}Project Manager: Mark-up ?Marketing: B yeah . Um I would think would be more like sixty percent . But um let me {disfmarker}Project Manager:Okay .Marketing: I have two thoughts . One hundred , fifty percent .Project Manager: {gap}Marketing: And and your question is how many do we have to sell?Project Manager: Yes , 'cause our market um is international and your problem is {disfmarker} has to do with marketing of {disfmarker} you know , you gottaknow how many we're going to be selling to know how big a market you have to target and who is that .Marketing: At twenty five . Mm-hmm . Yeah , that's um{disfmarker}Project Manager: To give you a pretty good idea of where you're looking .Marketing: So that's four million of them ?Project Manager: Something likethat ? Okay .Marketing: Yeah .Project Manager: That's fifty million Euros . In order to make fifty million Euros , and you're only getting twelve and a half each{disfmarker}Marketing: And if we make {disfmarker} Mm-hmm .Project Manager: That's a lot of selling . Two four {disfmarker}Marketing: Yeah . Four million.Project Manager: To be fifty , be four million . You'd have to sell four million .Marketing: Hmm .Project Manager: Okay ? Right . Experience with a remote control. Any of you use of remote control for a television or D_V_D_ or something ? You're both nodding ,Industrial Designer: That that that's the sorta product we'retalking about , one that will work for a {disfmarker} in a home environment , for a T_V_s and {disfmarker}Marketing: Yeah .Project Manager: all three . Well I'veseen some remote controls that are for more than one device at a time , but I also have heard about them not working well or not well co-ordinated and you windup working with this one for thi this three and then this one over here for another .User Interface: It is true that you always sit around {disfmarker} you know ,you're sitting on your sofa and you wanna change something , there's five different remotes , and one for the D_V_D_ and one for the video and one for cable andone for whatever else .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: Mm-hmm . Y yeah .Project Manager: And they don't always talk to each other .UserInterface: But I presume this is t I presume this is just for television .Project Manager: Don't know . Okay .Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Are thereany um ideas for the remote ? What would it be for and what group would be be for ? We have to think about that one .Marketing: We could make a HelloKittyIndustrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: themed remote .Project Manager: {vocalsound}User Interface: I think one in b bright colours would be good .{vocalsound}Marketing: Yeah .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} I think one that works would be good . {vocalsound}Marketing: We could totally go for theJapan-a-mation . Well I mean there's also the cachet that um uh the Japanese make great {vocalsound} products . Electrical {disfmarker} their industrial designis very good .User Interface: I think one that doesn't have lots of superfluous functions . Like I've got one at home that has well , apart from the obvious ,channels , channel up , channel down , volume ,Marketing: Yeah .User Interface: you know , subtitles , mute , there's a lotta buttons that I've got no idea whatthey do , like {vocalsound} .Project Manager: {vocalsound}Marketing: Well , that's a really good point ,Project Manager: Okay .Marketing: because I think one ofthe things that {disfmarker} being somewhat computer literate , we tend to um go to menus and then make choices , you know , so if it's like an uh volumebutton , you know , you can go in and say mute or or volume . We don't need to have like the l the numbers if we also have uh uh channel up channel down .UserInterface: Mm .Project Manager: Mm . {vocalsound} Okay .Marketing: Mm . We can make it smart like an iPod , you know , make everything menus .UserInterface: Ooh , closing the meeting .Project Manager: Yeah . Um I know this sounds like it was very quick ,User Interface: That was quick .Project Manager: butthe I think that's the industrial design is the first one ,Industrial Designer: Mm .Project Manager: that's Kate , for the working design .Industrial Designer:Mm-hmm .Project Manager: And user , that's you S Steph , for the technical functions design , and for marketing the user requirements specification . I thinkthere's going to be a lot of {disfmarker} we have to help each other and work through this as a group , and I think we all , you know , {vocalsound} we like ourkitty-cat and our rat and our fish , but I think we all have to like each other um to get this done . Uh as it says , we're gonna get individual instructions , but uh Idon't think they allowed a lot of extra time , so I think a little bit of less of this and more at do will set us in good stead . Do you all agree ?Industrial Designer:Mm-hmm .User Interface: Mm-hmm .Project Manager: Alright . Um then I don't see any reason to prolong it and f we should finish this meeting at ni right nowand go into other things . Alright , so this is the end of the first meeting .Marketing: Okay .Industrial Designer: 'Kay .Project Manager: Thank you all ."}

Right okay. So I guess if we go ahead with the uh with the three presentations . So we'll start with yourself on the basis that uh {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Okaythat's fine . I'll just um I'll grab the wire out the back of this one .Project Manager: Sorry , yep .Industrial Designer: {gap}User Interface: {vocalsound}ProjectManager: Oh . {vocalsound}User Interface: What is it ?Industrial Designer: I'm not quite sure how it {disfmarker}User Interface: I think you've got to do umcontrol F_ eight .Industrial Designer: Control {gap} {disfmarker} Doesn't seem to be quite working at the moment .User Interface: Shift F_ eight . {vocalsound}{gap}Industrial Designer: Alt function F_ eight . {vocalsound} Again not doing anything .Marketing: {vocalsound} There's usually a little thing in the top right forthe {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Oh .User Interface: Ah there ,Marketing: Oh hang on ,User Interface: it's doing something .Marketing: it's just coming on.Industrial Designer: {gap} pressed about five times now .User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Okay , that's me {gap} .Okay , um I have to go {gap} again .Project Manager: {gap} it going ?Industrial Designer: Hopefully that should be it this time . Okay , I think we're there .That's good . Okay , um {disfmarker} Okay I'm gonna be looking at the working design . Um {vocalsound} of the of the remote control . Um I've just got threesections , first is the research I made on the on the remote control itself um . And then that involves the components required in it and the systems uh design ofthe actual the actual remote . Um so having researched the existing models within the market , um I found my research off the internet . Um I've establishedwhat the components required for the remote control to function , actually are . And then also the methods in which these components interact together for theremote to actually do what you want it to do and how it connects with the television . Um the basic components are an energy source which I guess um in mostexisting models would be a battery supply . Whether that'll be sort of two batteries , four batteries , um it may vary .Project Manager: Okay .Industrial Designer:We then have the user interface , which is basically the like the the buttons on the actual remote . Um the various functions used for changing channel , uhchannel up and down , volume , things like that . Um there's also a chip inside the remote which does all the computer type things . And then the sender , whichum is usually , I've found , an infra-red device which sends a signal to the actual television . Um and the last part is receiver which is important in the system butis not actually part of the remote itself , because that's obviously found in the television . {gap} . Um I'm gonna have to actually draw on the board because uh itwas a little tricky on PowerPoint to get this working , so . I'll just go through there . S um um do we have a cloth to wipe this down with , or ? Oh I'll jProjectManager: Uh there's the rubber on the right , I think .User Interface: I think it's that little {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Oh I see . Oh okay . I'll get rid of thebear.$Project Manager: {gap} it's magic . {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Okay that's great . Okay , so we start off with a um batterysuppl Uh no , a power supply which we'd probably get {disfmarker} it's probably gonna be the battery . Um we then have a particular button , which may be{disfmarker} {gap} that's obviously there's lots and lots of different buttons . Um but this is how the basic system works . Um that sends {gap} after you pressthat that sends the message to the chip , which um then sends {disfmarker} It sort of interprets which button you've pressed and then sends the appropriatemessage to the sender . {vocalsound} Um . So that's {gap} . That's the remote in itself , that's the components of the remote and how they work together . Sothis is the uh user interface . Um this is the chip itself , which then {gap} , and that's the that's the infra-red sender . And then on the separate thing we have onthe on the television we have a a receiver . And the sender sends a message to the receiver . 'Kay .Project Manager: So the the top bit's the power source , yes ?{gap} .Industrial Designer: Ah yes , that's the power source . Um . {gap} going on to personal preferences , I've said that battery seems the best option for theactual remote , just because of the size . You don't want a a cable attached to the remote otherwise it's not it's not really a remote . Um and then the sender,Marketing: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: and infra-red um has been used quite successfully . If the battery's on reasonable power , they always seem towork fairly well . You don't have to be point directly at the television itself .Project Manager: So the battery is the {disfmarker} in the sender .Industrial Designer:Um {disfmarker} Yes . 'Kay and that's it for the moment .Marketing: Okay .Project Manager: Okay . So , now more design . {vocalsound}User Interface: Right .Thank you . Mine's not quite as complicated as all that .Project Manager: {vocalsound} That's what we like to hear . {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}Did I press function ? Yeah .Project Manager: Is it control function ei Oh , th there you go .User Interface: Oh . Um . Okay so I'm gonna talk a bit about thetechnical functions design . I'm Louisa , the User Interface Designer , as you know . {vocalsound} Um so the m basic method of this is to send a signal from theremote to the television set , so that a desired function is performed . Um an example of the function could be to change the volume up or down , uh so obviouslyyou need two different buttons for that . Um to change the channel , either by pressing the number that you want or by channel up or down . Um to switch thetelevision on or off , maybe a standby button . Um here are two example remotes . Um by the look of it they both have um kind of play and fast forward , rewindfunctions , so I think they incorporate a kind of video function which we won't have to worry about . Uh but as you can see , the left remote is quite um quite busylooking , quite complicated . Um whereas the right remote is much simpler , it looks much more user friendly . Um so my personal preference would be the rightremote . So , {vocalsound} it's got nice big buttons , it's got a very limited number of buttons . Um they're nice , kinda clearly labelled . Um I like the use of thekind of um symbols like the triangles and the squares and the arrows as well as the words on the um kind of play functions and all that . So it's very very userfriendly , and it's got a little splash of colour . Could maybe do with some more colour . Um .Project Manager: Well there's a couple of things there . Um we haveto remember that we have our own um logo and colour scheme . So basically we'd have to uh we'd have to be putting that on um the the product .User Interface:Hmm . Do we get to see that ?Project Manager: {vocalsound} I haven't as yet , no .User Interface: Will you be presenting that in a bit ? {vocalsound}ProjectManager: {vocalsound} But uh I got uh I got an email that basically said to uh make sure that uh whatever device we come up with at the end of the day had toincorporate um the corporate colour and slogan . So uh I'm guessing that uh uh I notice on the bottom there it's got uh what's that ? A_P_O_G_E_E_ that mightbe the corporate colour scheme , although the only the only colour I can see in that is the red .Industrial Designer: {gap}User Interface: Hmm .IndustrialDesigner: Would you be able to get rid of the the extra buttons here , the the sort of circular section , because that seems to be for a video as well . So we coulddispense with that little bit as well and just get it down to just the numbers and the volume . Possibly ?User Interface: What do you mean by the circular section?Industrial Designer: J yeah yeah yeah j yeahUser Interface: Like all of that bottom bit ?Project Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: just this little bit isthat {disfmarker} I think that's still um a video remote part ,User Interface: Yeah .Industrial Designer: so maybe we could get rid of that as well .User Interface:Yeah . And I don't really think that you need nine numbers .Project Manager: Well b uh wUser Interface: I mean how often do you use seven , eight and nine ? Ithink just one to six and then channel up and down should be enough .Project Manager: Well th the on the {disfmarker} {vocalsound}User Interface: Like howoften do you hit nine ?Project Manager: Well uh for for general television purposes obviously you have channels one to five at this point in time ,Marketing:Mm-hmm .Project Manager: and we'd have to have some room for uh future such channels . But but {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: It's just people are used toseeing that , so if we didn't have them then they might think it's {disfmarker} {gap}Project Manager: But , well possibly but the the other thing is that with umthe current expansion of uh channels uh in the process of taking place , certainly the button up and down , but uh I mean {vocalsound} how many channels dowe have to um {disfmarker} actual television channels do we have to uh prepare for ? I would have thought that uh {gap} it's forever expanding and at themoment we've got {disfmarker} although you've onl you've got the five standard , you've got the B_B_C_ have come up with a further sixIndustrial Designer:{vocalsound}Project Manager: and uh there's uh I don't know exactly how many channels there are on uh when you take into account uh Sky and various otherum various others .Marketing: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: Hmm .Project Manager: So I would've thought that we wouldn't , you know , rather{disfmarker}User Interface: Hmm .Project Manager: Okay , if the time of flicking from one to other , but presumably it'll take a secondUser Interface:"}

Okay ?Project Manager: Okay .Marketing: And after we ha we have an an average , and uh we see .Project Manager: Okay .IndustrialDesigner: Mm-hmm .Marketing: The {disfmarker} okay ? {vocalsound} Uh so uh fancy look and feel , what do you think ?Project Manager: Okay . Maybe you canpresen {vocalsound}Marketing: F between o one and seven .Project Manager: okay . Maybe {disfmarker} {vocalsound} hold it .Marketing: {vocalsound}ProjectManager: {vocalsound} So I think it's uh very uh very nice . What do you think ?User Interface: I give it a {disfmarker} I give it a five .Project Manager: Yeah .So it's between one and seven ? Seven is the highest uh ?Marketing: Yeah . {vocalsound} Seven is the {disfmarker}Project Manager: I will give a six .IndustrialDesigner: I will give a a five .Marketing: {vocalsound} Mm-hmm .User Interface: {vocalsound} And you ?Marketing: {gap} sorry .User Interface: Do you vote uhChristine ?Marketing: {gap} eh ?User Interface: Do you also vote ?Marketing: {vocalsound} No , I just want to see something {disfmarker}Project Manager:Maybe we all have to agree on a common {disfmarker}User Interface: Well , we can {gap} very easily {vocalsound} .Project Manager: Yeah .Marketing:Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound}Marketing: Uh I think uh {gap} {vocalsound} and need to {gap} as well{vocalsound} .Project Manager: No problem . SoUser Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: Need to {disfmarker}Project Manager: this is your{disfmarker}Marketing: uh I don't know if you {disfmarker} we ha we have to put uh one uh f If it's better or {disfmarker}Project Manager: One is most {gap}.User Interface: I {disfmarker}Marketing: Uh-uh .Project Manager: Well , we can choose what we want .Marketing: Um . Yeah .Project Manager: Okay , let's saythat seven is the best .Marketing: Or maybe we can say s seven is the best mm {vocalsound} .Project Manager: Okay . So so do note the grade we have five , sixfor me ,Industrial Designer: Five .Project Manager: five . And what what's your choice ?Marketing: Oh sorry . {vocalsound}Project Manager: How much wouldyou give on the fancy aspect , on the fashionable aspect ?Marketing: Six {disfmarker} Uh s you can {disfmarker} how much what ?Project Manager: How muchwould you {disfmarker} you don't answer to this uh questionnaire ?Marketing: Oh yes I mm I dunno mm , I think six , it's a good uh {disfmarker}User Interface:So it will have five point five average .Project Manager: Five point five average .Marketing: Yeah .Project Manager: Okay .User Interface: Mm .Marketing: Wa can{gap} . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: Okay .Project Manager: Well , does it {disfmarker}Marketing: {vocalsound} I sorry .UserInterface: {vocalsound}Marketing: Okay . So after , the technological aspect ?Project Manager: Okay , techne technological aspect .Marketing: So we we said uhwe have uh a new technological uh thing with a wheel .Project Manager: Yeah , we have the wheel . We also have the rubber material ,Marketing: Uh .ProjectManager: which make it uh like new also . I think I would give a five .User Interface: It's {gap} four .Project Manager: Four ?Industrial Designer: A four also ,because , except for the wheel , we don't have so much innovation .User Interface: Yeah .Industrial Designer: The rubber is {disfmarker}Project Manager: Okay.Industrial Designer: Uh a four . I I {disfmarker}User Interface: D are we including the voice {disfmarker} are you glu are we including the voice in the end ornot ? Huh ?Project Manager: No .User Interface: No . Okay .Project Manager: SoMarketing: No .Project Manager: what's your uh grade ?Marketing: Four .ProjectManager: Four ? So we have four , four f and five ?Marketing: We can put four ?User Interface: Yeah .Project Manager: Yeah , four . Four , yeah , let's put four.User Interface: For twenty five .Marketing: Everyone is okay or {disfmarker} four poin Four .User Interface: Yeah .Marketing: Okay .Project Manager: Doesn't it{disfmarker} {vocalsound}Marketing: Very easy to use . Do you think it's easy to use ?Project Manager: Yeah , I think so . Yeah .Industrial Designer: Yeah .UserInterface: I give a seven , I think .Industrial Designer: Six .Project Manager: I would give a {disfmarker} I would give a seven as well . It's very easy to use.Industrial Designer: Six .Marketing: Mm , six for me also .Project Manager: SoUser Interface: 'Kay .Marketing: Six point five . {vocalsound}Project Manager: sixpoint five .Industrial Designer: Six six six point five .Project Manager: Okay .Marketing: Okay . {vocalsound} Is it fashion ? {vocalsound}Project Manager: Ohyeah ,User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: its its f its fruit fruit shape .Marketing: Seven ? {vocalsound}Project Manager: I would say seven . And isvery very nice design .Marketing: Yeah it's fashion , because it's a fruit ,User Interface: Yeah , we can we can put a seven here .Marketing: and we say that the{disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Yeah , seven .User Interface: Yeah .Marketing: yeah , seven .Project Manager: Yeah . Seven , okay .User Interface: Yeah . Well, we hope .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Easy to find .Marketing: {vocalsound} Uh easy to find in a room ? {vocalsound}Project Manager:{vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} I lost my banana . {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound} {vocalsound}Project Manager: I think you can'tmiss it .User Interface: {vocalsound} Yeah .Project Manager: Okay .Marketing: Yeah ?Industrial Designer: Uh .User Interface: Yeah , I think it's cool . I think wecan put a six here .Marketing: We have the lightning , or {disfmarker}Project Manager: Yeah , we have {vocalsound} the {vocalsound}Marketing: The lighting.Project Manager: we don't sesh especially have the lightningUser Interface: {vocalsound} So you'll make the material transparentProject Manager: but{disfmarker}Marketing: {vocalsound}User Interface: so that it uh lights up completely , or {disfmarker}Project Manager: So it's yellow . It's okay .Marketing:{vocalsound} Yeah . {gap}Project Manager: I think it's very easy to {vocalsound} {disfmarker}Marketing: Seven ?Project Manager: I would say seven . It's hardto miss it .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Six . Yeah , okay .User Interface: Yeah .Marketing: Is it {disfmarker} is it robust ?Project Manager: Yeah , it'srubber , made of rubber ,Industrial Designer: Uh f yeah , it's ru it's rubber .Project Manager: I think it's m it's uh more rubber than uh other remote control.Industrial Designer: Yeah . {vocalsound}User Interface: Yeah the only problem there might be {disfmarker} which {gap} know , i if it's very sensitive ,ProjectManager: Yeah .User Interface: they will ,Industrial Designer: Yeah .User Interface: I don't know {disfmarker}Project Manager: But it is uh {disfmarker} it issurrounded by rubber material .Industrial Designer: Yeah .User Interface: Yeah , okay .Project Manager: So maybe we can put a six .Industrial Designer: Yeah.User Interface: Mm .Marketing: {vocalsound} Everybody is okay , six .Industrial Designer: Six or five . Five {vocalsound}Project Manager: Six is okay ?UserInterface: Six , yeah , for me .Industrial Designer: Six .Marketing: Yeah . {vocalsound} Okay .Project Manager: Yeah .User Interface: Yeah .Marketing: S now{vocalsound} um so .Project Manager: Tadada . We have to sum up everything .User Interface: Twenty .Marketing: Thirteen uh , twenty , twenty six point five ,uh seven , thirty two , thirty six {gap} .User Interface: Thirty . ThirMarketing: That's that's okay ? Six .Project Manager: {vocalsound} Six is a good{disfmarker}User Interface: Okay .Marketing: Good . Uh if we say that seven it's uh it's the better ,Project Manager: Yeah , the be .Industrial Designer:"}

Yeah .Marketing: Mm-hmm .Project Manager: Good . Okay . Let's see what we can find here . Okay . A very warm welcome again toeveryone .User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Um here we are already at our uh functional design meeting . Um and this is what we are going to do .The opening , which we are doing now , um and the special note , I'm project manager but on the meetings I'm also the secretary , which means I will make uhminutes as I did of the previous meeting .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: And uh I also put these as fast as possible in the uh project folder ,so you can see them and review what we have discussed . Um if I'm right , there are three presentations , I guess each one of you has prepared one ? Good .UserInterface: Yes .Project Manager: And um we will also take a look at new project requirements , um if you haven't heard about them yet . And then of course wehave to take a decision on the remote control functions and we have some more time , forty minutes . But I think we will need it . Um well I don't know whowants to go first with his presentation .Industrial Designer: I'll go first . Okay . I'll go first yeah .Marketing: Yeah .Project Manager: You can go first , okay .UserInterface: Well .Marketing: Well , shall I go first with the users ?User Interface: Well {vocalsound}Marketing: I think {disfmarker} well okay no problem .{vocalsound}Project Manager: Is there an order ? I haven't {disfmarker}User Interface: everybody already has his presentation ,Marketing: Ja precies , japrecies , ja preciesUser Interface: {vocalsound} so you can adjust it . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: So . Huh ? Okay , um {disfmarker}Project Manager: Andone question , uh your name Denni , is it with aMarketing: E_I_E_ .Project Manager: I_E_ {disfmarker} E_I_E_ , okay . Thank you .User Interface:{vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Okay , um I wanted to explain the working design of the remote control . It's possibly very handy if you want to uh design oneof those . Um {vocalsound} well so it basically works uh as I uh uh r wrote down uh in this uh little uh summary . Uh when you press a button , {vocalsound} uhthat's when you do pr for example when you uh want to turn up the volume , um a little connection is made uh the the rubber uh {vocalsound} button justpresses on aProject Manager: Sorry . {vocalsound}Marketing: {gap}User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: on a little print plate uh which uh makesuh uh {vocalsound} a connection that uh gives the chips , uh which is uh mounted beneath those uh that plastic of a rubber button . Uh senses that a connectionhas been made , and know and knows what button you pressed , becau uh for example the the volume up or volume down button . Um uh the the chip uh makesa Morse code uh like uh signal which uh then is si uh signalled {vocalsound} to uh several transistors which makes uh which sends the signal to a little let . Youknow what a let is ?User Interface: Yeah .Industrial Designer: Okay . {vocalsound} And that makes uh the the infra-red lights signal which is sent to thetelevision set . Uh which has a sensor in it to uh sense uh the signal of the infra-red . That's basically uh how it works . Um the findings uh uh that I found uhsearching up some uh detailed information about the remote controls , are that uh they are very easy to produce , uh it is pis uh it's possible to uh make them inmass production because it is as eas it is as easy as uh printing a page , uh just uh fibreglass plate um is b uh is uh covered with uh some uh coatings and uh uh{vocalsound} and chips .User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Uh and the technology's already available , we don't have to find out how remotecontrols uh have to work or uh how that how uh to make some chips that are possible to uh to to transmit those uh signals . Uh I made a little uh uh animation of{vocalsound} about how a tran our uh remote controller works .User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: {gap}User Interface: Oh right .Marketing: {vocalsound}Animation . {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} we telUser Interface: There is something turning .Industrial Designer:There .Project Manager: Yeah , it's a little bug it's in the in the smart board . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Okay . Uh wellUser Interface:{vocalsound}Industrial Designer: the sub-component , I suppose that you understand what a sub-component is , is f in this example it's the button . Uh when itis pressed down , um , the switch is ter is uh is switched on , so with uh the wire is sent to the to the chip in uh co-operation with the battery of course , becauseto make uh a a signal possible you have to have some sort of uh li uh a d ad uh electronic uh {disfmarker}User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: Infrared light.Industrial Designer: Yes , uh , okay . Um w after it's being composed by the chip uh the signal uh is transported uh to the infra-red bulb , and from there itsignals a Morse code-like signal to the to the b to the bulb in uh in the television set . Okay . S Uh I wrote down some personal preferences about uh the remotecontrol . Of course it is very handy if the remote control is hand held , so you don't have to uh uh wind it up or something , or just is it's it's very light to uh tomake uh to use it . Uh I personally uh pref prefer that uh it would be p uh come available in the various colours , and uh easy to use buttons . But I suppose thatthe one of the other team members uh uh thought of that uh too . {vocalsound}User Interface: Yeah , I've got it there too . {vocalsound} {vocalsound}IndustrialDesigner: And it is possible for several designs and um easy to use b uh sorry , easy to use buttons . Perhaps soft touch , uh touch screen uh buttons because uhthe rubber buttons are always uh uh they uh slightly uh they can be slightly damaged ,Marketing: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: uh so the numbers on thebuttons are not possible uh to read anymore . And uh well as I said uh before th uh we can uh make several designs . {vocalsound}User Interface: Yeah.Industrial Designer: Okay , well , that's my contribution to this meeting , and uhMarketing: To this meeting . {vocalsound}Project Manager: Okay , thank you.User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: two of these this meeting . So .User Interface: Shall I go uh next ?Project Manager: Yep .User Interface: 'Kay.Project Manager: Please .User Interface: So .Marketing: {vocalsound} Smoking .User Interface: Well uh , my name's {gap} , and I looked at uh technicalfunctions design of the remote . Uh I did this by uh looking at examples of other remote controls , of how they uh they look , and information from the web that Ifound . Um well what I found was that uh th the actual use of the remote control is to send messages to television set , how you uh d what you described uh justearly . And this can be all sorts of medsa messages , turn it on , turn it off , uh change the channel , adjust volume , that kind of thing . Uh play video , teletext ,but also t uh play C_D_ if you use it your C_D_ player the remote control will that one . There are some uh examples of remote controls . You can see they arevery different . The one has got all the functions that you could possibly need and an lot of uh buttons etcetera . And the other is uh more user friendly , little withbig buttons . And uh not n all the the the the stuff you can do with it , but uh the the essential stuff is there . Um {vocalsound} I guess you could better y youshould look at a a user centred uh approach , because the customers have to use them and and if they don't think it's usable they won't uh buy it . A lot ofbuttons they may think from I don't need s as much as that . Uh , well perf personal preferences is is uh a simple remote , with uh the basic functions that youcan need that you could use . But uh keep in mind the new functions of T_V_ what we discussed earlier , split screen and uh is that a function that you shouldhave ? Because all the T_V_s will have them . Or because of only a few and isn't really necessary . And then uh make it {disfmarker} I would make so that youcan could uh use it on more than one appliance . If you have one that uh uh does with the vi the the video , it could also work with uh with the stereo , becauseplay is play and stop stop and that sort of thing . The shu c you could reuse the buttons so that you don't have to have a lot of buttons for uh anything . And itshould be a user friendly , clear buttons , and not too much . And that is my presentation .Project Manager: Okay , thank you .Industrial Designer: Okay .{vocalsound}Marketing: 'Kay . Check . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface: You must still have it open .Marketing: Kijke {gap} 'Kay ,so . {vocalsound} We're going to j discuss the functional requirements of the remote , that m that means that functions user n want to have on the remotecontrol , or just {disfmarker} Yeah , and the users , actually .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: The methods I I prefer is we're going to look whichsection of the users we are going to focus a l on more . Are the younger people going to buy the remote control or the elderly people ? And then {disfmarker} thothat section we're going to focus and adjust the remote more to that section than the whole user section . Okay . Some data . Younger people , from sixteen tothir forty five um years are more interested in fj features like L_C_D_ screens , speech recognition e etcetera . And we possess about two third of the market fromin that range of age . The elderly people , from forty five years to sixty five years are not that much interested in features , and we possess less than two third ,that's two fifth , of the market share in that area . {gap} Goed so .Project Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Hmm .Marketing: 'Kay . Findings . Fiftypercent of the users lose their remote often .User Interface: {vocalsound} Yeah .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: So we don't have to make it verysmall , like uh like a mobile phone or something , but some somewhat bi bigger than small , so you don't lose it that much anymore . {vocalsound} Seventy fivepercent of the users also find it ugly ,Industrial Designer: Mm .Marketing: and fif seventy five of the users zap a lot , so the buttons sh should be that small , orshouldn't be that complex because we have to search for the buttons , which one are you going to use . Next . Important issues about the remote . I think itwould be better with a personal reference , but okay . Remote control has to have to have a low power usage , because s w seventy five percent of the users onlyzap one time an hour , so the power usage is also one one time an hour , or so , with a high power usage we would use a lot of but batteries . The volume buttonand the channel buttons are the two most important buttons on the remote control , so those {disfmarker} they {disfmarker} those have to h be find very easily. And have to be somewhat like bigger etcetera . It has also be {disfmarker} have to find easily when the label is gone . My colleague also announced it that"}

OK .Professor B: Yeah .PhD F: So . And I don't have {disfmarker} and I don't , um , have a cell phonePhD D:A cell phone ?PhD F: so I can't be having a conference call while driving .Professor B: R r right .Postdoc C: No . {comment} It 's not good .Professor B: So wehave to {disfmarker} we {disfmarker}Postdoc C: That 's not good .PhD F: Plus , it would make for interesting noise {disfmarker} background noise .Professor B:Grad E: Yep .PhD F: Uh {disfmarker}Professor B: So we have to equip him with a {disfmarker} with a {disfmarker} {vocalsound} with a head - mounted , uh ,cell phoneGrad E: Ye - we and we 'd have to force you to read lots and lots of digits ,Professor B: and {disfmarker}Grad E: so it could get real {disfmarker}{vocalsound} real car noise .PhD F: Oh , yeah .PhD D: Yeah .PhD F: Oh , yeah .Grad G: Take advantage .PhD D: And with the kids in the background .PhD F: I 'lllet {disfmarker} I 'd let {disfmarker}PhD D: Yeah .PhD F: I let , uh , my five - year - old have a try at the digits , eh .Professor B: Yeah .Grad E: So , anyway , Ican talk about digits . Um , did everyone get the results or shall I go over them again ? I mean that it was basically {disfmarker} the only thing that was evenslightly surprising was that the lapel did so well . Um , and in retrospect that 's not as surprising as maybe i it shouldn't have been as surprising as I {disfmarker}as {disfmarker} as I felt it was . The lapel mike is a very high - quality microphone . And as Morgan pointed out , that there are actually some advantages to it interms of breath noises and clothes rustling {pause} if no one else is talking .PhD D: Yeah .PhD F: Exactly .Grad E: Um , so , uh {disfmarker}Grad G: Mm - hmm.Professor B: Well , it 's {disfmarker} Yeah , sort of the bre the breath noises and the mouth clicks and so forth like that , the lapel 's gonna be better on .Grad G:It 's g it {disfmarker}PhD D: Or the cross - talk . Yeah .Professor B: The lapel is typically worse on the {disfmarker} on clothes rustling , but if no one 's rustlingtheir clothes ,Grad E: Right . I mean , a lot of people are just sort of leaning over and reading the digits ,Professor B: it 's {disfmarker} it 's {disfmarker}Grad E:so it 's {disfmarker} it 's a very different task than sort of the natural .PhD D: Yeah . You don't move much during reading digits , I think .Professor B: Yeah .GradE: So .Professor B: Yeah .Grad E: Right .Grad G: Probably the fact that it picks up other people 's speakers {disfmarker} other people 's talking is an indication ofthat it {disfmarker} the fact it is a good microphone .PhD D: Yeah .Professor B: Right . So in the digits , in most {disfmarker} most cases , there weren't otherpeople talking .Grad E: Right . Right .Grad G: So .Professor B: So .PhD F: D do the lapel mikes have any directionality to them ?Professor B: There typically don't, no .PhD F: Because I {disfmarker} I suppose you could make some that have sort of {disfmarker} that you have to orient towards your mouth ,Grad E: Theyhave a little bit ,PhD F: and then it would {disfmarker}Grad E: but they 're not noise - cancelling . So , uh {disfmarker}Professor B: They 're {disfmarker} they're intended to be omni - directional .Grad E: Right .Professor B: And th it 's {disfmarker} and because you don't know how people are gonna put them on , youknow .PhD F: Mm - hmm .Grad E: Right . So , also , Andreas , on that one the {disfmarker} the back part of it should be right against your head . And that will hekeep it from flopping aro up and down as much .PhD F: It is against my head .Grad E: OK .Professor B: Yeah . Um . Yeah , we actually talked about this in the ,uh , front - end meeting this morning , too . Much the same thing ,Grad E: Uh - huh .Professor B: and {disfmarker} and it was {disfmarker} uh , I mean , therethe point of interest to the group was primarily that , um , {vocalsound} the , uh {disfmarker} the system that we had that was based on H T K , that 's used by ,you know , {pause} all the participants in Aurora , {vocalsound} was so much worse {vocalsound} than the {disfmarker} than the S RGrad E: Everybody.Professor B: And the interesting thing is that even though , {vocalsound} yes , it 's a digits task and that 's a relatively small number of words and there 's abunch of digits that you train on , {vocalsound} it 's just not as good as having a {disfmarker} a l very large amount of data and training up a {disfmarker} a{disfmarker} a nice good big {vocalsound} HMM . Um , also you had the adaptation in the SRI system , which we didn't have in this . Um . So . Um .PhD F: Andwe know {disfmarker} Di - did I send you some results without adaptation ?Grad E: No .Professor B: I s I think Stephane , uh , had seen them .Grad E: Or if youdid , I didn't include them , cuz it was {disfmarker}Professor B: So {disfmarker}PhD F: Yeah , I think I did , actually . So there was a significant loss from notdoing the adaptation .Professor B: Yeah .PhD F: Um . A {disfmarker} a {disfmarker} a couple percent or some I mean {disfmarker} Well , I don't know it{disfmarker} Overall {disfmarker} Uh , I {disfmarker} I don't remember , but there was {disfmarker} {nonvocalsound} there was a significant , um , loss or win{comment} from adaptation {disfmarker} with {disfmarker} with adaptation . And , um , that was the phone - loop adaptation . And then there was a very small{disfmarker} like point one percent on the natives {disfmarker} uh , win from doing , um , you know , adaptation to {pause} the recognition hypotheses . And{pause} I tried both means adaptation and means and variances , and the variances added another {disfmarker} or subtracted another point one percent . So ,{vocalsound} it 's , um {disfmarker} that 's the number there . Point six , I believe , is what you get with both , uh , means and variance adaptation .Grad E:Right .Professor B: But I think one thing is that , uh , I would presume {disfmarker} Hav - Have you ever t {vocalsound} Have you ever tried this exact samerecognizer out on the actual TI - digits test set ?PhD F: This exact same recognizer ? No .Professor B: It might be interesting to do that . Cuz my {disfmarker} my{disfmarker} cuz my sense , um {disfmarker}PhD F: But {disfmarker} but , I have {disfmarker} I mean , people {disfmarker} people at SRI are actuallyworking on digits .Grad E: I bet it would do even slightly better .PhD F: I could {disfmarker} and they are using a system that 's , um {disfmarker} you know , his actually trained on digits , um , but h h otherwise uses the same , you know , decoder , the same , uh , training methods , and so forth ,Professor B: Mm - hmm.PhD F: and I could ask them what they get {pause} on TI - digits .Professor B: Yeah , bu although I 'd be {disfmarker} I think it 'd be interesting to just take thisexact actual system so that these numbers were comparablePhD F: Mm - hmm .Professor B: and try it out on TI - digits .PhD F: Well , Adam knows how to run it,Professor B: Yeah .Grad E: Yeah . No problem .PhD F: so you just make a fProfessor B: Yeah . Yeah .

I think , you know , one reason for that , uh , might be that there 'sstill {disfmarker} even though it 's close - talking , there still is some noise and some room acoustics .PhD F: Mm - hmm . Mm - hmm .Professor B: And anothermight be that , uh , I 'd {disfmarker} I would presume that in the studio , uh , uh , situation recording read speech that if somebody did something a little funnyor n pronounced something a little funny or made a little {disfmarker} that they didn't include it ,Grad E: They didn't include it .Professor B: they made them do itagain .Grad E: Whereas , I took out {pause} the ones that I noticed that were blatant {disfmarker} that were correctable .Professor B: Mmm . Yeah .Grad E: Sothat , if someone just read the wrong digit , I corrected it .Professor B: Yeah .Grad E: And then there was another one where Jose couldn't tell whether{disfmarker} I couldn't tell whether he was saying zero or six . And I asked him and he couldn't tell either .Grad I: Hmm .Grad E: So I just cut it out .Professor B:Yeah .Grad E: You know , so I just e edited out the first , i uh , word of the utterance . Um , so there 's a little bit of correction but it 's definitely not as clean as TI- digits . So my expectations is TI - digits would , especially {disfmarker} I think TI - digits is all {pause} American English .Professor B: Mm - hmm .Grad E:Right ? So it would probably do even a little better still on the SRI system , but we could give it a try .PhD F: Well . But {pause} remember , we 're using a"}

Um {disfmarker} Hopefully Nancy will come , if not , she won't .Grad B: Uh ,Robert , do you uh have any way to turn off your uh screensaver on there so that it 's not going off every {disfmarker} uh , it seems to have about at two minute{disfmarker}Grad C: Yeah , I 've {disfmarker} I {disfmarker} uh {disfmarker} it 's not that I didn't try .Grad B: OK .Grad C: and um I {disfmarker} I told it tostay on forever and ever , but if it 's not plugged in it just doesn't obey my commands .Grad B: OK .Grad C: It has a mind .Grad B: Got it .Grad C: But I I just{disfmarker} You know , sort of keep on wiggling .Undergrad E: Wants to conserve .Grad B: Yeah , OK .Grad C: But uh {disfmarker} we 'll just be m m workingon it at intensity so it doesn't happen . We 'll see . Should we plunge right into it ?Professor D: Yeah .Grad C: So , would you like to {disfmarker}Professor D: Ithink so .Grad C: So what I 've tried to do here is list all the decision nodes that we have identified on this {pause} side . Commented and {disfmarker} whatthey 're about and sort of {disfmarker} the properties we may um give them . And here are the uh {disfmarker} tasks to be implemented via our data collection .So all of these tasks {disfmarker} The reading is out of these tasks more or less imply that the user wants to go there , sometime or the other . And analogouslyfor example , here we have our EVA um {disfmarker} intention . And these are the data tasks where w we can assume the person would like to enter , view orjust approach the thing . Analogously the same on the object information we can see that , you know , we have sort of created these tasks before we came upwith our decision nodes so there 's a lot of things where we have no analogous tasks , and {pause} that may or may not be a problem . We can change the tasksslightly if we feel that we should have data for e sort of for every decision node so {disfmarker} trying to im um {disfmarker} implant the intention of going to aplace now , going to a place later on the same tour , or trying to plant the intention of going sometime on the next tour , or the next day or whenever .ProfessorD: Right , right .Grad C: But I think that might be overdoing it a little .Professor D: So {disfmarker} Yeah . So let me pop up a level . And uh s s make sure thatwe 're all oriented the same . So What we 're gonna do today is two related things . Uh one of them is to work on the semantics of the belief - net which is goingto be the main inference engine for thi the system uh making decisions . And decisions are going to turn out to be parameter choices for calls on other modules .so f the natural language understanding thing is uh , we think gonna only have to choose parameters , but You know , a fairly large set of parameters . So to dothat , we need to do two things . One of which is figure out what all the choices are , which we 've done a fair amount . Then we need to figure out whatinfluences its choices and finally we have to do some technical work on the actual belief relations and presumably estimates of the probabilities and stuff . But wearen't gonna do the probability stuff today . Technical stuff we 'll do {disfmarker} uh {disfmarker} another day . Probably next week . But we are gonna worryabout all the decisions and the things that pert that contribute to them . And we 're also , sort of uh in the same process , going to work with Fey on what thereshould be in the dialogues . So One of the s steps that 's coming up real soon is to actually get subjects uh {disfmarker} in here , and have them actually recordlike this . Uh record dialogues more or less . And {disfmarker} depending on what Fey sort of provokes them to say , we 'll get information on different things.Grad C: Well how people phrase different intentions more or less ,Professor D: So {disfmarker} Fo - v yeah people with the {disfmarker} phrase themGrad C:huh ?Professor D: and so {disfmarker} Uh for , you know , Keith and people worrying about what constructions people use , uh {disfmarker} we have some i wehave some ways to affect that by the way the dialogues go . So what Robert kindly did , is to lay out a table of the kinds of uh {pause} things that {disfmarker}that might come up , and , the kinds of decisions . So the uh {disfmarker} uh {disfmarker} on the left are decision nodes , and discreet values . So if{disfmarker} if we 're right , you can get by with um just this middle column worth of decisions , and it 's not all that many , and it 's perfectly feasible technicallyto build belief - nets that will do that . And he has a handout .Grad C: Yeah . Maybe it was too fast plunging in there , because j we have two updates .ProfessorD: Yeah .Grad C: Um you can look at this if you want , these are what our subject 's going to have to fill out . Any comments I can {disfmarker} can still be madeand the changes will be put in correspondingly .Undergrad E: m {vocalsound} {vocalsound} {vocalsound} {vocalsound} {vocalsound} {vocalsound} Yes .GradC: Let me summarize in two sentences , mainly for Eva 's benefit , who probably has not heard about the data collection , at all .Grad A: OK .Grad C: Or have youheard about it ?Grad A: Not that much you didn't .Grad C: No . OK . We were gonna put this in front of people . They give us some information on themselves.Grad A: OK .Grad C: Then {disfmarker} then they will read uh {disfmarker} a task where lots of German words are sort of thrown in between . And um{disfmarker} and they have to read isolated proper names And these change {disfmarker}Professor D: S I don't see a releaseGrad C: No , this is not the releaseform . This is the speaker information form .Professor D: Got it . OK , fine . OK .Grad C: The release form is over there in that box .Professor D: Alright , fairenough .Grad C: And um {disfmarker} And then they gonna have to f um um choose from one of these tasks , which are listed here . They {disfmarker} theypick a couple , say three {disfmarker} uh {disfmarker} uh six as a matter of fact . Six different things they sort of think they would do if they were in Heidelbergor traveling someplace {disfmarker} and um {disfmarker} and they have a map .Grad B: Hmm .Grad C: Like this . Very sketchy , simplified map . And they cantake notes on that map . And then they call this computer system that works perfectly , and understands everything .Grad A: OK .Grad C: And um{disfmarker}Grad B: This is a fictional system obviously ,Grad C: The comp Yeah , the computer system sits right in front of you ,Grad B: huh .Grad C: that 's Fey.Undergrad E: I 've {disfmarker} I understand everything .Professor D: And she does know everything .Undergrad E: Yes I do .Grad C: And she has a way ofmaking this machine talk . So she can copy sentences into a window , or type really fast and this machine will use speech synthesis to produce that . So if you ask\" How do I get to the castle \" then a m s several seconds later it 'll come out of here \" In order to get to the castle you do {disfmarker} \"Grad B: Yeah .Grad C:OK ? And um {disfmarker} And then after three tasks the system breaks down . And Fey comes on the phone as a human operator . And says \" Sorry the systembroke down but let 's continue . \" And we sort of get the idea what people do when they s think they speak to a machine and what people say when they thinkthey speak to a human , or know , or assume they speak to a human .Grad A: OK . Huh .Grad B: Mm - hmm . Mm - hmm .Grad C: That 's the data collection .And um {disfmarker} And Fey has some thirty subjects lined up ? Something ?Undergrad E: Yeah .Grad C: And um {disfmarker} And they 're {disfmarker} rready uh {disfmarker} to roll .Undergrad E: And more and more every day .Grad C: And we 're gonna start tomorrow at three ? four ? one ?Undergrad E:Tomorrow , well we don't know for sure . Because we don't know whether that person is coming or not ,Grad C: OK . Around four - ish .Undergrad E: but{disfmarker}Grad C: And um we 're still l looking for a room on the sixth floor because they stole away that conference room . Um {disfmarker} behind our backs. But {disfmarker}Professor D: Well , there are these {disfmarker} uh {disfmarker} uh {disfmarker} oh , I see , we have to {disfmarker} Yeah , it 's tricky . We'll {disfmarker} let 's {disfmarker} let {disfmarker} we 'll do that off - line , OK .Grad C: Yeah , but I {disfmarker} i i it 's happening . David and {disfmarker}and Jane and {disfmarker} and Lila are working on that as we speak .Professor D: OK .Grad C: OK . That was the uh {disfmarker} the data collection in anutshell . And um {disfmarker} I can report a {disfmarker} so I did this but I also tried to do this {disfmarker} so if I click on here , Isn't this wonderful ? we getto the uh {disfmarker} uh belief - net just focusing on {disfmarker} on the g Go - there node . uh {disfmarker} Analogously this would be sort of the reason nodeand the timing node and so forth .Grad B: Mm - hmm .Grad C: And what w what happened is that um design - wise I 'd sort of n noticed that we can{disfmarker} we still get a lot of errors from a lot of points to one of these sub Go - there User Go - there Situation nodes . So I came up with a couple ofadditional nodes here where um whether the user is thrifty or not , and what his budget is currently like , is going to result in some financial state of the user .How much will he {disfmarker} is he willing to spend ? Or can spend . Being the same at this {disfmarker} just the money available , which may influence us ,whether he wants to go there if it is {disfmarker} you know {disfmarker} charging tons of dollars for admission or its gonna g cost a lot of t e whatever . Twenty- two million to fly to International Space Station , you know . just {disfmarker} Not all people can do that .Professor D: Right .Grad C: So , and this actuallyturned out to be pretty key , because having specified sort of these {disfmarker} uh {disfmarker} this {disfmarker} this {disfmarker} intermediate level Um andsort of noticing that everything that happens here {disfmarker} let 's go to our favorite endpoint one is again more or less {disfmarker} we have {disfmarker}um {disfmarker} then the situation nodes contributing to the {disfmarker} the endpoint situation node , which contributes to the endpoint and so forth . um{disfmarker} I can now sort of draw straight lines from these to here , meaning it g of course goes where the sub - S {disfmarker} everything that comes fromsituation , everything that comes from user goes with the sub - U , and whatever we specify for the so - called \" Keith node \" , or the discourse , what comes fromthe {disfmarker} um {disfmarker} parser , construction parser , um will contribute to the D and the ontology to the sub - O node . And um one just s sort of hasto watch which {disfmarker} also final decision node so it doesn't make sense {disfmarker} t to figure out whether he wants to enter , view or approach an objectif he never wants to go there in the first place . But this makes the design thing fairly simple . And um now all w that 's left to do then is the CPG 's , theconditional probabilities , for the likelihood of a person having enough money , actually wanting to go a place if it costs , you know this or that .

And also on user interface concept uh what kind of interface we use and if there is some supplements . And at the end um Sammywill give um {vocalsound} a trend watching on what he's {disfmarker} he's been doing . It's {disfmarker} So , let's go . First with Rama . Participant two.Industrial Designer: Yeah , participant two . Component .Project Manager: Mm-hmm . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Yep . So we're to mainly design f mainlyneed to know which components we'll use for energy , and the material and interface . For energy there are maybe two or three possibilities . First one , we canuse simple battery , or we can use {vocalsound} traditional solar cells or {disfmarker} mm and the material we can have plastic , rubber which is good for thisR_S_A_Marketing: Ah .Industrial Designer: and then uh titanium , which can be {disfmarker} which have very good look an and then interface we're to use pushbuttons or liquid crystal d L_C_D_ display . And we can use some {gap} , moving {gap} kind of thing . So , as we discussed before , we need to {disfmarker} wewould like to have some speech recognition s chip in our remote control . So this can be simple kind of programmable chip and {disfmarker} which can usemicrophone {gap} sensors . And we also want to look at our remote control , so . Still we are looking for possible uh technical uh specifications and how w easywe can do and within our pri range , like we're to {disfmarker} in our twelve Euros or around that . So we are looking for simple devices or simple technology todo the location of remote control in a room or in a house .Project Manager: Mm-hmm , okay .Industrial Designer: So uh we discussed an {disfmarker}{vocalsound} Excuse me . So we would like to propose battery instead of solar cells and it would be problematic uh to have enough energy with the solarcellsMarketing: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: and so we would like to just use simple battery . And also we want to go for titanium design instead of rubber or{disfmarker} and well the problem is with this design we found that we can't use double-curved shapes .Marketing: What is a double-curved shape ?IndustrialDesigner: {vocalsound} Like you can have two curves .Marketing: Uh-huh .User Interface: Why ?Industrial Designer: Uh it's {disfmarker} I think inmanufacturing I guess it's problematic . So , we want to go for simple push buttons because it need a simple chip and it's really lesser {disfmarker} uh re reallyless expensive compared to L_C_D_Marketing: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: which are uh which needs advanced chip technology and it's more expensive,User Interface: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: since we want to put some other features such as speech recognitionMarketing: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer:we want to reduce uh cost .Project Manager: {vocalsound} Um I want to know why it b uh just uh sorry but for the point before uh why not the rubber , if it issomething that it seems to be light .Marketing: The cost .Industrial Designer: Uh {disfmarker} Uh {disfmarker} And also like in {disfmarker} if you put a {gap}it's be difficult to do all the moulding of buttons and these thingsProject Manager: Okay . You m titanium it's more uh {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: and{disfmarker} Yeah .User Interface: W we can use something like you know {vocalsound} the whole body's titanium but there are some rubber or I dunno somerubber parts likeIndustrial Designer: Yeah .Marketing: Mm like this ?Project Manager: Yes so mm {disfmarker}User Interface: to make it feel better and to youknow {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Like in cell phones recentlyProject Manager: Uh-huh .User Interface: {vocalsound} Yeah . Yeah .Industrial Designer:these {disfmarker} you can {gap} with the rubber in four directions and {disfmarker}Marketing: Mm-hmm .Project Manager: Okay . {gap}Industrial Designer:yeah . But full assembly {disfmarker} We'll use mainly for titanium {gap}Project Manager: Okay .Industrial Designer: rubber is expensiveProject Manager: Okay.Industrial Designer: and also it's bit difficult to do all the shapes uh .Project Manager: Okay .Industrial Designer: And this push buttonsProject Manager: Uh yeahsoIndustrial Designer: {disfmarker} we we would like to use push buttons instead of L_C_D_s and so we want to mo I mean we're {gap} we want to put speechrecognition so we want to reduce price on this technology and so that we can have enough space or enough moneyProject Manager: Okay , s so simple buttonand uh speech recognition for the more complicated .Industrial Designer: for {disfmarker} S SMarketing: Speech {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Y yeah wehave simple buttons and speech recognition technology ,User Interface: Mm-hmm .Project Manager: Okay .User Interface: Okay , and still we have{disfmarker}Industrial Designer: so {disfmarker}User Interface: mm can we still include the L_ L_S_D_ display ?Marketing: L_C_D_ .User Interface: L_C_D_yeah L_C_D_ .Industrial Designer: Uh lMarketing: Seems not , it's either L_C_D_ or push-button .Industrial Designer: So uhUser Interface: No ,IndustrialDesigner: it's like a {disfmarker}User Interface: it's not gonna be a t no touchable but still like a source of information or source for menus .Marketing: Ah.Industrial Designer: Yeah maybe maybe we can see depending on how we'll come up with our full design then if we have enough money or like for and{disfmarker}User Interface: Okay , so let's try it , let's tIndustrial Designer: because the speech recognition technology will take at least five Euros or {gap} orsomething so we want to reduce the cost on displayMarketing: {gap} The L_C_D_ would {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: or this interMarketing: The displaywould only be display and not uh touch sensitive you mean .User Interface: Yeah , yeah , it's it's not gonna be a touch pad , uh just a display for giving youinformation .Marketing: Just uh for output , yeah .Industrial Designer: Ok Yeah , that can we we can consider ,Marketing: Yeah .Project Manager: {vocalsound}Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: because like it won't take much money I guess ,User Interface: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: because {disfmarker}ProjectManager: Okay .Industrial Designer: Okay , yep .Project Manager: {gap} Mm .Industrial Designer: You have any further questions or ?Marketing: I guess no um .So the batteries uh are going to be very light .Industrial Designer: Yeah . Yeah , we're to go for li and now I think we have many options in the market so we cango for small nickel or alkaline batteriesMarketing: Okay .User Interface: Mm-hmm . Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: for really light batteries and with uh goodprice .Marketing: So this device on n that can be used for speech recognition could also be used for just uh the finding it basically , instead of clapping why notjust be {disfmarker} ask .Industrial Designer: Yeah , that's {disfmarker} then the the one thing we want to know is like because remote control is used for like inthe household so it it it will be it {disfmarker} m maybe at least five , six people want to use it so so how to uh uh how to define our re speechrecognitionMarketing: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: whether we want to do s speaker independent or speaker dependent . If we're going for more speakerindependent then it would be like again cumbersome and we need really m more technologyProject Manager: Okay ,Industrial Designer: and so{disfmarker}Project Manager: for the location . Hmm .Industrial Designer: Yeah , if if everybody in the house n {gap} to locate then we're to go for some speakerindependent technology or something .Marketing: Okay . {vocalsound}Project Manager: Okay .

Well , if we {disfmarker} we umProfessor B: So , are{disfmarker} are you trying to record this meeting ?Grad D: There was a strange reflex . I have a headache . I 'm really sort of out of it . OK , the uh lessonslearned . The reading needs to be shorter . Five minutes is just too long . Um , that was already anticipated by some people suggested that if we just have bulletshere , they 're gonna not {disfmarker} they 're {disfmarker} subjects are probably not gonna {disfmarker} going to follow the order . And uh she did not .GradC: Really ?Grad D: She {disfmarker} No .Grad C: Oh , it 's surprising .Grad D: She {disfmarker} she jumped around quite a bit .Professor B: S so if you justnumber them \" one \" , \" two \" , \" three \" it 'sGrad D: Yeah , and make it sort of clear in the uh {disfmarker}Professor B: OK . Right .Grad D: Um . We need to{disfmarker} So that 's one thing . And we need a better introduction for the wizard . That is something that Fey actually thought of a {disfmarker} in the lastsecond that sh the system should introduce itself , when it 's called .Professor B: Mm - hmm . True .Grad D: And um , um , another suggestion , by Liz , was thatwe uh , through subjects , switch the tasks . So when {disfmarker} when they have task - one with the computer , the next person should have task - one with ahuman , and so forth .Professor B: Mm - hmm .Grad D: So we get nice um data for that . Um , we have to refine the tasks more and more , which of course wehaven't done at all , so far , in order to avoid this rephrasing , so where , even though w we don't tell the person \" ask {pause} blah - blah - blah - blah - blah \"they still try , or at least Litonya tried to um repeat as much of that text as possible .Grad C: Say exactly what 's on there ? Yeah .Grad D: And uh my suggestionis of course we {disfmarker} we keep the wizard , because I think she did a wonderful job ,Professor B: Great .Grad D: in the sense that she responded quitenicely to things that were not asked for , \" How much is a t a bus ticket and a transfer \" so this is gonna happen all the time , we d you can never be sure.Professor B: Mm - hmm .Grad D: Um . Johno pointed out that uh we have maybe a grammatical gender problem there with wizard .Grad A: Yes .Grad D: So um.Grad A: I wasn't {disfmarker} wasn't sure whether wizard was the correct term for {pause} uh \" not a man \" .Grad C: There 's no female equivalent of{disfmarker}Grad D: But uh {disfmarker}Grad A: Are you sure ?Grad C: No , I don't know .Professor B: Right .Grad C: Not that I know of .Grad D: Well , there iswitch and warlock ,Grad A: Yeah , that 's so @ @ .Professor B: Right .Grad C: Yeah , that 's what I was thinking , but {disfmarker}Grad D: and uh{disfmarker}Professor B: Right . Uh .Grad D: OK . And um {disfmarker} So , some {disfmarker} some work needs to be done , but I think we can uh{disfmarker} And this , and {disfmarker} in case no {disfmarker} you hadn't seen it , this is what Litonya looked at during the uh {disfmarker} um while takingthe {disfmarker} while partaking in the data collection .Grad C: Ah .Professor B: OK , great . So {pause} first of all , I agree that um we should hire Fey , andstart paying her . Probably pay for the time she 's put in as well . Um , do you know exactly how to do that , or is uh Lila {disfmarker} I mean , you know whatexactly do we do to {disfmarker} to put her on the payroll in some way ?Grad D: I 'm completely clueless , but I 'm willing to learn .Professor B: OK . Well , you 'llhave to . Right . So anyway , umGrad D: NProfessor B: So why don't you uh ask Lila and see what she says about you know exactly what we do for someone inthGrad D: Student - type worker ,Professor B: Well , yeah she 's un she 's not a {disfmarker} a student ,Grad D: or {disfmarker} ?Professor B: she justgraduated but anyway .Grad D: Hmm .Professor B: So i if {disfmarker} Yeah , I agree , she sounded fine , she a actually was {pause} uh , more uh , present andstuff than {disfmarker} than she was in conversation , so she did a better job than I would have guessed from just talking to her .Grad D: Yeah .Professor B: So Ithink that 's great .Grad D: This is sort of what I gave her , so this is for example h how to get to the student prison ,Professor B: Yeah .Grad D: and I didn't evenspell it out here and in some cases I {disfmarker} I spelled it out a little bit um more thoroughly ,Professor B: Right .Grad D: this is the information on{disfmarker} on the low sunken castle , and the amphitheater that never came up , and um , so i if we give her even more um , instruments to work with I thinkthe results are gonna be even better .Professor B: Oh , yeah , and then of course as she does it she 'll {disfmarker} she 'll learn @ @ .  So that 's great . Um{pause} And also if she 's willing to take on the job of organizing all those subjects and stuff that would be wonderful .Grad D: Mmm .Professor B: And , uh she 's{disfmarker} actually she 's going to graduate school in a kind of an experimental paradigm , so I think this is all just fine in terms of h her learning things she 'sgonna need to know uh , to do her career .Grad D: Mmm .Professor B: So , I {disfmarker} my guess is she 'll be r r quite happy to take on that job . And , so{disfmarker}Grad D: Yep . Yeah she {disfmarker} she didn't explicitly state that so .Professor B: Great .Grad D: And um I told her that we gonna um figure out ameeting time in the near future to refine the tasks and s look for the potential sources to find people . She also agrees that you know if it 's all just gonna bestudents the data is gonna be less valuable because of that so .Professor B: Well , as I say there is this s set of people next door , it 's not hard toGrad D: We 'realready {disfmarker} Yeah .Professor B: uh {disfmarker}Grad D: However , we may run into a problem with a reading task there .

Um , so , yeah , the {disfmarker} this past week I 've been main mainly occupied with , um , getting some results , u from the SRIsystem trained on this short Hub - five training set for the mean subtraction method . And , um , I ran some tests last night . But , um , c the results aresuspicious . Um , it 's , um , {vocalsound} cuz they 're {disfmarker} the baseline results are worse than , um , Andreas {disfmarker} than results Andreas gotpreviously . And {vocalsound} it could have something to do with , um {disfmarker}PhD F: That 's on digits ?Grad C: That 's on digits . It c it {disfmarker} itcould h it could have something to do with , um , downsampling .PhD F: Hmm .Grad C: That 's {disfmarker} that 's worth looking into . Um , d and , um , ap apapart from that , I guess the {disfmarker} the main thing I have t ta I have to talk is , um , where I 'm planning to go over the next week . Um . So I 've beenworking on integrating this mean subtraction approach into the SmartKom system . And there 's this question of , well , so , um , in my tests before with HTK Ifound it worked {disfmarker} it worked the best with about twelve seconds of data used to estimate the mean , but , we 'll often have less {comment} in theSmartKom system . Um . So I think we 'll use as much data as we have {pause} at a particular time , and we 'll {disfmarker} {vocalsound} we 'll concatenateutterances together , um , to get as much data as we possibly can from the user . But , {vocalsound} um , {vocalsound} there 's a question of how to set up themodels . So um , we could train the models . If we think twelve seconds is ideal we could train the models using twelve seconds to calculate the mean , to meansubtract the training data . Or we could , um , use some other amount . So {disfmarker} like I did an experiment where I , um , was using six seconds in test ,um , but , for {disfmarker} I tried twelve seconds in train . And I tried , um , um , the same in train {disfmarker} I 'm a I tried six seconds in train . And sixseconds in train {vocalsound} was about point three percent better . Um , and {disfmarker} {vocalsound} um , it 's not clear to me yet whether that 's{vocalsound} something significant . So I wanna do some tests and , um , {vocalsound} actually make some plots of , um {disfmarker} for a particular amountof data and test what happens if you vary the amount of data in train .PhD F: Mm - hmm .Professor D: Uh , Guenter , I don't know if you t {vocalsound} followedthis stuff but this is , uh , {vocalsound} a uh , uh , long - term {disfmarker} long - term window F F Yeah . Yeah , he {disfmarker} you talked about it .ProfessorG: Yeah , we {disfmarker} we spoke about it already ,Professor D: Oh , OK . So you know what he 's doing .Professor G: yeah .Professor D: Alright .Grad C: y sso I was {disfmarker} I actually ran the experiments mostly and I {disfmarker} I was {disfmarker} I was hoping to have the plots with me today . I just didn'tget to it . But , um {disfmarker} yeah , I wou I would be curious about people 's feedback on this cuz I 'm {disfmarker} {vocalsound} @ @ {comment} I p Ithink there are some I think it 's {disfmarker} it 's kind of like a {disfmarker} a bit of a tricky engineering problem . I 'm trying to figure out what 's the optimalway to set this up . So , um , {vocalsound} I 'll try to make the plots and then put some postscript up on my {disfmarker} on my web page . And I 'll mention itin my status report if people wanna take a look .Professor D: You could clarify something for me . You 're saying point three percent , you take a point threepercent hit , {vocalsound} when the training and testing links are {disfmarker} don't match or something ?PhD E: Hello .Professor D: Is that what it is ?Grad C:w Well , it cProfessor D: Or {disfmarker} ?Grad C: I {disfmarker} I don't think it {disfmarker} it 's {vocalsound} just for any mismatch {vocalsound} you take ahit .Professor D: Yeah .Grad C: i In some cases it might be u better to have a mismatch . Like I think I saw something like {disfmarker} like if you only have twoseconds in test , or , um , maybe it was something like four seconds , you actually do a little better if you , um , {vocalsound} train on six seconds than if youtrain on four seconds .Professor D: Yeah . Right .Grad C: Um , but the case , uh {disfmarker} with the point three percent hit was {vocalsound} using six secondsin test , um , comparing train on twelve seconds {comment} versus train on six seconds .Professor D: And which was worse ?Grad C: The train on twelve seconds.Professor D: OK . But point three percent , uh , w from what to what ? That 's point three percent {disfmarker}Grad C: On {disfmarker} The {disfmarker} the{disfmarker} the accuracies {vocalsound} w went from {disfmarker} it was something vaguely like ninety - five point six accuracy , um , improved to ninety -five point nine wh when I {disfmarker}Professor D: So four point four to four point one .Grad C: OK .Professor D: So {disfmarker} yeah . So about a{disfmarker} about an eight percent , uh , seven or eight percent relative ?Grad C: OK .Professor D: Uh , Yeah . Well , I think in a p You know , if {disfmarker} ifyou were going for an evaluation system you 'd care . But if you were doing a live system that people were actually using nobody would notice . It 's {disfmarker}uh , I think the thing is to get something that 's practical , that {disfmarker} that you could really use .Grad C: Huh . That 's {disfmarker} that 's interesting .Alright , the e uh , I see your point . I guess I was thinking of it as , um , {vocalsound} an interesting research problem . The {disfmarker} how to g I wasthinking that for the ASRU paper we could have a section saying , {vocalsound} \" For SmartKom , we {disfmarker} we d in {disfmarker} we tried this approach in, uh , {vocalsound} interactive system \" , which I don't think has been done before .Professor D: Yeah . Mm - hmm .Grad C: And {disfmarker} and then therewas two research questions from that .Professor D: Mm - hmm .Grad C: And one is the k does it still work if you just use the past history ?Professor D: Mm -hmm .Grad C: Alright , and the other was this question of , um what I was just talking about now . So I guess that 's why I thought it was interesting .ProfessorD: I mean , a short - time FFT {disfmarker} short - time cepstrum calculation , uh , mean {disfmarker} u mean calculation work that people have in commercialsystems , they do this all the time . They {disfmarker} the {disfmarker} they calculate it from previous utterances and then use it , you know .Grad C: Yeah , um.Professor D: But {disfmarker} but , uh , as you say , there hasn't been that much with this long {disfmarker} long - time , uh , spectra work .Grad C: Oh , o Oh ,OK .Professor D: Uh ,Grad C: So that 's {disfmarker} that 's {disfmarker} that 's standard . Um {disfmarker}Professor D: Yeah . Pretty common .Grad C: OK.Professor D: Yeah . Um , but , u uh , yes . No , it is interesting . And the other thing is , I mean , there 's two sides to these really small , uh , gradations inperformance . Um , I mean , on the one hand in a practical system if something is , uh , four point four percent error , four point one percent error , people won'treally tell {disfmarker} be able to tell the difference . On the other hand , when you 're doing , uh , research , you may , eh {disfmarker} you might find that theway that you build up a change from a ninety - five percent accurate system to a ninety - eight percent accurate system is through ten or twelve little things thatyou do that each are point three percent . So {disfmarker} so the {disfmarker} they {disfmarker} they {disfmarker} it 's {disfmarker} I don't mean to say thatthey 're {disfmarker} they 're irrelevant . Uh , they are relevant . But , um , {vocalsound} i for a demo , you won't see it .Grad C: Mm - hmm . Right . OK.Professor D: Yeah .Grad C: And , um , Let 's {disfmarker} l let 's see . Um , OK . And then there 's um , another thing I wanna start looking at , um ,{vocalsound} wi is , um , the choice of the analysis window length . So I 've just been using two seconds just because that 's what Carlos did before . Uh , I wroteto him asking about he chose the two seconds . And it seemed like he chose it a bit informally . So , um , with the {disfmarker} with the HTK set - up I should beable to do some experiments , on just varying that length , say between one and three seconds , in a few different reverberation conditions , um , say this roomand also a few of the artificial impulse responses we have for reverberation , just , um , making some plots and seeing how they look . And , um , so , with the{disfmarker} the sampling rate I was using , one second or two seconds or four seconds is at a power of two um , number of samples and , um , I 'll {disfmarker}I 'll jus f for the ones in between I guess I 'll just zero - pad .Professor D: Mm - hmm . I guess one thing that might also be an issue , uh , cuz part of what you 'redoing is you 're getting a {disfmarker} a spectrum over a bunch of different kinds of speech sounds . Um , and so it might matter how fast someone was talkingfor instance .Grad C: Oh .Professor D: You know , if you {disfmarker} if {disfmarker} if {disfmarker} if there 's a lot of phones in one second maybe you 'll get a{disfmarker} a really good sampling of all these different things , and {disfmarker} {vocalsound} and , uh , on the other hand if someone 's talking slowly maybeyou 'd need more . So {disfmarker}Grad C: Huh .Professor D: I don't know if you have some samples of faster or slower speech but it might make a difference . Idon't know .Grad C: Uh , yeah , I don't {disfmarker} I don't think the TI - digits data that I have , um , {vocalsound} i is {disfmarker} would be appropriate forthat .Professor D: Yeah , probably not . Yeah .Grad C: But what do you {disfmarker} What about if I w I fed it through some kind of , um , speech processingalgorithm that changed the speech rate ?Professor D: Yeah , but then you 'll have the degradation of {disfmarker} of , uh , whatever you do uh , added onto that. But maybe . Yeah , maybe if you get something that sounds {disfmarker} that {disfmarker} that 's {disfmarker} does a pretty job at that .Grad C: Yeah . Well ,uh , just if you think it 's worth looking into .Professor D: You could imagine that .Grad C: I mean , it {disfmarker} it is getting a little away from reverberation.Professor D: Um , yeah . It 's just that you 're making a choice {disfmarker} uh , I was thinking more from the system aspect , if you 're making a choice forSmartKom , that {disfmarker} that {disfmarker} that it might be that it 's {disfmarker} it c the optimal number could be different , depending on"}

Welcome to the third meeting of the House of Commons SpecialCommittee on the COVID-19 Pandemic. Pursuant to the order of reference of Monday, April20, the committee is meeting for the purposes of consideringministerial announcements, allowing members to present petitions, and questioning ministers of the crown, including the Prime Minister, in respect of theCOVID-19 pandemic. I understand there's an agreement to observe a moment of silence in memory of the six members of the Canadian Armed Forces who losttheir lives last Wednesday in a helicopter crash off the coast of Greece.  We'll return to order. Colleagues, we meet today to continue our discussion about howour country is dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic. As we do, Canadians, like everyone around the world, are doing their best to live their lives until thingsimprove. Meanwhile, as we look towards the future, I believe that it is also important to remember our past and to continue to mark the important moments inour shared history. At this very moment, the Dominion Carillonneur, Dr. Andrea McCrady, is performing a special recital to commemorate the 75th anniversary ofthe liberation of the Netherlands by the Canadian Forces. In May 1945, Canadian Forces played a major role in liberating the Dutch people from Nazi occupation.May 5 is now a national holiday in the Netherlands that commemorates the event and the great friendship that now exists between our two countries. Today'smeeting is taking place by video conference. The proceedings will be made available via the House of Commons website. Please be aware that the webcast willalways show the person speaking rather than the entire committee. Let me remind you that, as in the House or in committee, members may not takephotographs of their colleagues or film the proceedings. In order to facilitate the work of our interpreters and ensure orderly meetings, I will outline a few rules.Interpretation of this video conference will be done as it is at normal committee meetings and in the House. At the bottom of your screen, you can choose floor,English or French. As you have seen, I change as I am speaking. I have now switched over to English in order to speak English. If you look at the bottom, youhave a little flag that indicates whether it's English or French, and that's how we will be speaking. It makes it easier. That was where we had a little bit of a glitchin the last session. I understand that there are no statements by ministers. We can now proceed to presenting petitions for a period not exceeding 15 minutes.  Iwould like to remind members that petitions presented during a meeting of the special committee must already have been certified by the clerk of petitions.  Inaddition, to ensure that the petition is considered to have been properly presented, the certificate of the petition and each page of the petition for petitionscertified in a previous Parliament should be emailed to the committee no later than 6 p.m. on the day before the committee. I thank all the members for theirusual co-operation. Thank you all. Now we'll proceed to presenting petitions. Our first petition comes from the honourable member for Sherwood ParkFortSaskatchewan, Mr. Genuis.Mr. Garnett Genuis (Sherwood ParkFort Saskatchewan, CPC): Mr. Chair, I'm pleased to be presenting two petitions today. The firstpetition is with respect to government Bill C-7. Petitioners raised concerns that this bill removes safeguards from the current euthanasia regime. It includesremoving the mandatory 10-day reflection period and the number of required witnesses who will witness a person's consent. The petitioners urge the House ofCommons to immediately discontinue the removal of safeguards for people requesting euthanasia, and to put in place additional measures to protect vulnerablepeople. This would require that bill to be amended or not passed. The second petition is with respect to Senate public bill S-204. This is on organ harvesting andtrafficking. Petitioners call on members of the House, and hopefully the Senate as well, to support Bill S-204, which would make it a criminal offence for a personto go abroad and receive an organ for which there has not been consent. It would also create provisions under which a person could be made inadmissible toCanada if they had been involved in organ harvesting or trafficking. Thank you very much.The Chair: Thank you. I want to remind all the members that there arespecific headsets that have been mandated to all of us. If you don't have one, please talk to your IT ambassador and they will get one to you as quickly aspossible. The reason for them is not so much for what you hear, but that our interpreters are working and there are work conditions that really make it difficult.Part of that is not having the appropriate boom on your headset, which will make it very difficult for them to hear and interpret for our members. Now we go tothe member for BeachesEast York, Mr. Erskine-Smith.Mr. Nathaniel Erskine-Smith (BeachesEast York, Lib.): Mr. Chair, I had to learn how to tie my tie all overagain. It's been so long. I want to thank Jenna Robar, who's led this petition e-2453. The petitioners have noted that there are approximately 60 indigenouslanguages in Canada and that 2019, last year, was declared by the UN to be the year of indigenous languages. They draw attention to article 13 of the UNDRIPand to the TRC's calls to action numbers 13 to 16. Fundamentally, they call upon the Government of Canada to recognize indigenous languages as being officiallanguages of Canada and to have each language recognized nationally, with implementations on regional and provincial levels, acknowledging that many regionshave different languages.Mr. Eric Duncan (StormontDundasSouth Glengarry, CPC): Mr. Chair, I am proud to present a petition on behalf of one of myconstituents, Myles Lynch of St. Andrews West in my riding. Myles made history as the first Canadian ever to survive three double-lung transplants. Myles liveswith cystic fibrosis and has had three lung transplants in the last five years, and he's only 22 years old. Myles created a documentary called 8 Thousand Myles,which had a few showings in my riding. It documented his journey across Canada. One thing Myles has been advocating for is the creation of a national opt-outprogram for organ donation. Myles asked me how he could help raise awareness of that issue. I mentioned to him e-petitions online and getting people across thecountry to sign them. I am proud to have this certified today, with 1,318 signatures, asking the Standing Committee on Health to launch a study into thefeasibility of the creation of a national opt-out program. I give kudos to Myles not only for his strength personally but also for his advocacy for others and forsaving lives in our country by advocating for a better and an improved organ donation system. Kudos to Myles. I'm proud to present this petition today.Mr. PeterJulian (New WestminsterBurnaby, NDP): Mr. Chair, I'm very pleased to present this certified petition on behalf of several dozen residents of Toronto, Mississaugaand Brampton, Ontario, who add their voices to those of the thousands upon thousands of Canadians who have signed similar petitions. Given that Canadians areliving through unprecedented, catastrophic climate events, and at the same time our society, as you know, is suffering from worsening social and economicinequalitieshalf of Canadian families are only $200 away from insolvency in any given monthand particularly given the pandemic that we are currentlyexperiencing, these petitioners are calling on the Government of Canada to support motion M-1, a made-in-Canada green new deal that I am presenting in frontof the House of Commons. It calls on Canada to take bold and rapid action to tackle the climate emergency, and to put in place a shift to a clean and renewableenergy economy.Mr. Gord Johns (CourtenayAlberni, NDP): Mr. Chair, it's an honour to table a petition on behalf of constituents from CourtenayAlberni. They areconcerned, obviously, about fentanyl-related deaths. Over 12,000 Canadians have died over the last four years due to fentanyl-poisoned sources. They cite thatthe current war on drugs has been costly and grossly ineffective; that it has resulted in widespread stigma towards addiction and against those who use illicitdrugs; and that criminalization of particular substances has resulted in the establishment of a drug trade that now trafficks dangerous and lethal products such asfentanyl. They are citing that regulating to ensure safe sources, with proper measures and bylaws, will reduce the criminal element associated with street drugs.Problematic substance use is a health issue and is not resolved through criminalization of personal possession and consumption. They are calling on theGovernment of Canada to declare the current opioid overdose and fenanyl poisoning crisis a national public health emergency under the Emergencies Act. Theyare calling for the government to reform current drug policy to decriminalize personal possession, as has been done in Portugal and other countries, and to createwith urgency and immediacy a system to provide safe and unadulterated access to substances so that people who use substances experimentally, recreationallyor chronically are not at imminent risk of overdose due to a contaminated source.Mr. Brad Vis (MissionMatsquiFraser Canyon, CPC): Mr. Chair, I'm presenting apetition today that contains the concerns of Canadians in my riding with the government's approach to firearms legislation and regulation. The petition highlightsthat the Liberal government's December 5, 2019, Speech from the Throne contains numerous inaccuracies about current firearms legislation and regulation; thatthe term military-style assault rifles is a political phrase undefined in Canadian law; that municipalities are constitutionally unable to enact criminal law to banhandguns in their jurisdictions; that the experts, including chiefs of police, agree that banning firearms and requiring law-abiding gun owners to follow moreunnecessary red tape will not increase public safety; that the majority of guns used in violent crimes are smuggled into Canada from the United States; and thatthe Liberal government continues to target law-abiding firearms owners instead of the gangs, drug traffickers and illegal gun traffickers responsible for violence inour communities. The petitioners in MissionMatsquiFraser Canyon are calling on the government to stop targeting law-abiding firearms owners; to cancel all plansto confiscate firearms legally owned by federally licensed, RCMP-vetted Canadians; and to focus our limited resources on anti-gang enforcement, on reducing theinvolvement of at-risk youth and gangs, on mental health and on providing the Canada Border Services Agency with the tools they need to do their jobeffectively.The Chair: Very good. That's all for petitions today. We will now proceed to the questioning of ministers. I would like to remind honourable membersthat no member shall be recognized for more than five minutes at a time and that members may split their time with one or more members by so indicating tothe chair. Ministers responding to the question should do so by simply turning on their mike and speaking. I want to again remind honourable members to use the"}

And uh tool training is one thing that we'regoing to be doing today , um um as well as planning the project , how we're going to , uh , create this product , and , um , discuss , um , our aims and objects ofthis , Which brings us to our next subject ,Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: is , um , um ,Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: as a teamwe're going to be designing and creating a new kind of remote control . Um , we want this to be a marketable product that can be trendy , um , a completely newstyle , so that , um , can really appeal to a , to a generation that doesn't want a simple plain kind of , uh , channel-changer . And , um , it needs to beuser-friendly for , um , maybe , for an example , for people that , um , can't see the numbers as well , or , um , perhaps an ergonomic design .IndustrialDesigner: Okay . So this is a television remote control ?Project Manager: Yes , it's a television remote control .Industrial Designer: Yeah .Project Manager: Right .I believe I should be taking minutes on this right now . So , alright .Industrial Designer: Okay .Project Manager: Um , yeah . Um , the way that we're going to goabout this is , um , we'll have a time where we can , um come up with new ideas alone , and , and work on the project and then , um , after we've brainstormedand , and thought about , we can come together in a meeting and , and discuss what , what um , what kind of functional design we want to use . Same withconceptual design and detailed design . So , um , making sure that it , it's usable , that as a , um {disfmarker} and that it's , it's feasible to create , and uh , tocome up with a concept of it want , what we want it to look like . Um , tool training . Is , is everyone , um {disfmarker} {gap} Okay .Industrial Designer: Yeah .Got those notes .Marketing: Yeah .Project Manager: Great . Great .Marketing: Thank you .Project Manager: Um One thing that , uh , we're going to do is becomemore acquainted with the , the tools that we have access to for our project . Um , one of them is our whiteboard . And , um , as a sort of team-building moment ,um , I , I'd like us to , um , try out the whiteboard by expressing our favourite animal and the charac characteristics of that animal .Industrial Designer:{vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Um , why that , why that should be your favourite animal . So , um , I , I'massuming that we should do that now .Industrial Designer: Okay .Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: 'Kay .User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing:{vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound} With our microphones still attached to our bodies . Okay . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Okay .User Interface:Gosh . {vocalsound}Project Manager: 'Kay , what's my favourite animal ?Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Do come up .{vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Oh ,User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {gap} to go first . {vocalsound} Oh ,Project Manager: This is ateam-building timeIndustrial Designer: are we all doing it individually ?User Interface: {vocalsound} Yeah . {vocalsound}Project Manager: where , um ,{vocalsound} ,Industrial Designer: Okay , let's stand up and support you {vocalsound}Project Manager: okay cool , um {disfmarker}Industrial Designer:{vocalsound}Project Manager: My favourite animal , which changes all the time , okay ,Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}ProjectManager: right now it is an elk .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Okay .User Interface: An elk ?Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: alright , so{disfmarker}User Interface: {vocalsound} A vicious {disfmarker} {vocalsound}Project Manager: And it goes like {disfmarker} Yeah it's got like big antlers ,UserInterface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: yeah . Looks kinda like , like it has holly growing out of its head .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface:{vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Do you have elk where you come from ?Project Manager: Yes .Industrial Designer: You do .ProjectManager: YeahMarketing: We have moose too . {vocalsound}Project Manager: we have moose and we have deer .Industrial Designer: Okay .User Interface:{vocalsound}Project Manager: Do you have {disfmarker}User Interface: We have sheep . {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound} {gap} 'Kay , um.Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Sheep . Yeah ,Marketing: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: cows .Project Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: That's agreat elk .Marketing: Uh-oh , we have a good artist . {vocalsound} {vocalsound}User Interface: That is really good .Project Manager: {vocalsound} Thanks.Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Yeah . {vocalsound}User Interface: I'm quite {disfmarker} {vocalsound}Project Manager: This is my {disfmarker}UserInterface: {vocalsound}Marketing: Oh , very shapely .Project Manager: Okay .Industrial Designer: Brilliant .Project Manager: That's a sketching of my my elk ,and it , it is my favourite animal right now , 'cause it is a large beautiful majestic creature ,User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: that um , that um{disfmarker}User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: In a way it looks kind of awkward , because it's on spindly legs and it uh {disfmarker}User Interface:{vocalsound}Project Manager: But it can really overcome harsh terrain , and although it's gorgeous it's also very dangerous , because it has um strong antlers ,and uh it can really combat its enemies , even like it it's a it's an herbivore but , uh , it can really defend itself .Industrial Designer: Mm .Project Manager: Yeah.Industrial Designer: Very nice . Okay .Project Manager: Right .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Right , I'm gonna take minutes while , um ,you guys express your favourite animals .User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Okay , I'll go next . I am a big animal lover . like all sorts of animals ,but for the moment I'm gonna draw a cat , in memory of my poor cat that died recently . {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound} Oh .Project Manager: Oh.Industrial Designer: It's gonna be a bit of a strange drawing , but never mind .User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface:{vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Not as artistic as Heather's drawing .Project Manager: {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Bit morecartoon style .Project Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: But I like cats because they're so independent , and they always seem to be doing what theywant to be doing . Um , but that doesn't mean they're completely not sociable , 'cause they enjoy interacting with humans as well , and they seem to enjoy thegood things like sunshine and , um , running around outside as well as being inside , and enjoying their food , and generally just , they just seemed so cool and{vocalsound} they just know what they're doing .User Interface: {vocalsound} {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Uh I reckon they're sort of , they got it sorted .They know what they want .User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Basically , that's why I like cats . {vocalsound}User Interface: Verygood . {vocalsound}Project Manager: Great .Industrial Designer: {gap} I'll rub that out . There you go . {vocalsound}User Interface: Okay . I think my favouriteanimal would be a dog , but I'm not really sure {vocalsound} how to draw one .Industrial Designer: Ooh .User Interface: I , I've never drawn a dog , I don't think. I'm tempted to draw a snail 'cause I draw them sometimes {vocalsound} and they're really easy to draw .Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager:{vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface: Um ,Project Manager: I forget her name .User Interface: right it's gonna be a really funny dog ,'cause I'm not sure how to draw a dog .Marketing: TaraProject Manager: {vocalsound}Marketing: or Tara .Industrial Designer: Well there are loads of differenttypes of dogs , so I'm sure it'll represent one kind of dog . {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound} It's a cartoon dog I think .Project Manager:{vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface: A s I don't ev Oh , oh well . {vocalsound} It's a scary cartoon dog . That {disfmarker} This,Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface: that does not look like a dog .Project Manager: {vocalsound} It looks kinda like a person .{vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} We can pretend . {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound} I'm sorry .Marketing: {vocalsound} That's Pinocchio.User Interface: {vocalsound} {gap} {vocalsound} {vocalsound} How do you draw a dog ? I suppose it has a lon Oh my god . Right . Yous know what it'ssupposed to be .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Okay .User Interface: {vocalsound} It's a dog . {vocalsound} . Um , I like dogs because , um , they're sogood to humans , like they can be trained to be police dogs and seeing-eye dogs , and they're just such friendly animals . And , like they're more of a companion"}

And {vocalsound} they require that the uhUser Interface: Mm-hmm .Project Manager: actually I'll get to that at the end {gap} point number four ,um we'll get what you've got and then we can see what we can adapt from it . So um , presentations , were you {disfmarker} anybody got , raring to go?Marketing: Yeah . Yeah .Project Manager: Raring to go ? Okay . Good stuff . Mm .Marketing: Um . So how {disfmarker}Project Manager: Oh I need to plug youin . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: S {gap}Project Manager: Just about .User Interface: Wow . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: It'sa inspired design .Marketing: {gap}User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: Sh do you want me to hold it ?Project Manager: Uh there we go , just screw 'em onin . Gonna have to swap them round so {disfmarker} {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound} So , after that ?Project Manager: now , it was function F_ eight.Marketing: F_ eight . {vocalsound} f oh sorry F_ eight .Project Manager: That's the wee blue one . Blue one F_ eight .Marketing: Okay .Project Manager: Shoulddo it , good one .Marketing: Yeah . Yeah . Uh , me again , Rajan the Marketing Expert . Uh , as we have decided in the last meeting that I have to find out , sorry, yeah sure .Project Manager: Hold on , sorry . {gap} and if you just click that it'll go ahead , one at a time .Marketing: Yeah , yeah . Uh actually , sorry I have tosee the other {gap} , sorry .Project Manager: {vocalsound} Sorry , uh .Marketing: Yeah , thank you .Project Manager: {vocalsound}Marketing: Uh , yes , I haveto look at the uh market potential for this product , uh , like consumer likings and everything , what is the potential for this product and are we able to achieveour a net profit or our aims or not ? Then {disfmarker}Project Manager: P press F_ five to start it first .Marketing: Sorry . Okay . Yeah , I can , okay .IndustrialDesigner: Hmm .Project Manager: {vocalsound} Jesus .Marketing: Uh then uh the methodology I adopted to find out all this was market survey . A a detailedmarket survey on consumers was done to find out their likings and dislikings , what they prefer what they not prefer , w what problems they do encounter in allthis type of things . And what we got was , we found that {disfmarker} if you {disfmarker} uh , what they th what problems they are having with different uhremote controls available in the market . Seventy five percent of users they do find it that the remote controls available in the market are ugly . They are not sogood looking . So , we have to put stress on this , uh we have to take care of this fact also like our design , uh should be appropriate , should be good looking forthe consumers . And yes that's wi uh this will definitely , this can definitely put uh uh enhance our sales . Uh and even uh the good thing about this is that eightypercent of users they are willing to pay high uh pay more for this uh good looking remote controls also . So even if the available market goes for the available{disfmarker} uh even if the market goes for the available remote control is less even then we can sell it at twenty five Euros , which maybe which may seemquite high but if our looks are are if the re remote control we design have a good better uh better look uh designs , then we can hope that consumers will preferthese g remote controls .Project Manager: Excellent .Marketing: Then {disfmarker} {gap} And the second thing , some some companies they think that theyshould have more and more functions of the users uh or in their remote controls , but rather than those having more functions in the remote controls we shouldemphasise what actually consumer want , what they operate , rather than making it too complicated . Because mostly it has been found that fifty percent of theusers they use only ten percent of the buttons , so there is no point of having ninety percent buttons making the remote controls too bulky , too complicated tooexpensive a because I think I believe that technology is useful only if uh the consumers they want to use it . Otherwise there is no point of having all this type ofthings . So this will not only reduce the cost of our remote controls but it will increase our profit also . So we have to take care of this fact also . Then . Uh it wasfunction I want to go to .Project Manager: Oh you wanna go back ? Just escape .Marketing: Uh , escape , okay thank you . Then if we look at this slide ,ProjectManager: Okay .Marketing: uh these are in your shared documents , you can see ,Project Manager: Okay .Marketing: like {disfmarker} Uh , sorry .UserInterface: So , sorry {disfmarker} I was just gonna say , what was the question for this ? Or is {disfmarker} are you coming on to that ?Marketing: Ah t look allthe market potential , what uh how we should design consu our remote controls , what they should be there so as to en enhance our profit , enhance our sales.User Interface: Okay . So these percentages are are what ?Marketing: Yeah , these are different age group persons like uh sorry , I can open it in another way.Project Manager: Okay . Speech recognition .Marketing: Uh , yes . If we look at the costs whether the consumers they are willing to uh pay more for speechrecognition in a remote control or not , we can find that they up to a thirty five years age group we have a very good disliking for this uh this uh point , like forspeech recognition in a remote control .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: So we can emphasise on this point also like , because it will definitelyenhance our sales in this ag in this particular age group from uh fifteen to thirty five ,User Interface: Hmm .Marketing: and I uh and I think that most of the usersof the rem uh T_V_ are belong to this age group . So we should look {disfmarker}Project Manager: Hmm . We're als we we're looking at who buys it as well .{gap}Marketing: Yeah . We can look at that that factor also , so yes . {vocalsound}Project Manager: Uh , which I think the twenty five to thirty five is uh usual ,sort of .Marketing: Yeah .User Interface: Mm , mm .Marketing: So , and {disfmarker} {gap}Project Manager: {gap}Marketing: {vocalsound} And then{disfmarker}Project Manager: Fifteen to tweMarketing: Yes . I think so . Uh if we look at this data how how uh h how what are the problems the consumers arefacing with the existing remote controls in the market .Project Manager: {vocalsound}Marketing: They find that thirt uh thirty five percent uh thirty four percentof the consumers they find too difficult to operate a remote control . So it should be in such a way that it should be easy to learn how to operate these remotecontrols and we should provide pl uh spe uh proper manuals for its use also so as that people {disfmarker} consumers could easily learn . They need not to haveany , much technical knowledge to see uh to know how to operate these remote controls .User Interface: Mm-hmm .Marketing: So this is also a very goo uhmajor factor to loo uh take into consideration to enhance our profits and sales . So um this is all aboutProject Manager: Okay . {vocalsound}Marketing: uhmarket potential by me .Project Manager: {vocalsound}User Interface: Mm-hmm .Marketing: Uh , yes , th thank you .Project Manager: Okay , thank you . Um ,{vocalsound} follow on with Helen ? Yeah please .User Interface: Yep , sure , that's cool , um {disfmarker}Marketing: Yeah we have to take that {gap} out.Project Manager: Oh , so we do yeah .Marketing: Sorry .User Interface: Yeah .Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Fun and games .Marketing: Sorry.Project Manager: Don't know if the cable's gonna be long enough .Marketing: Uh sorry , I have {gap} . {vocalsound}Project Manager: I think I just kicked overwhatever it runs on underneath as well .Marketing: Brian , this one also I {gap} . Yeah .Project Manager: Okay .Marketing: Thank you very much Brian .UserInterface: I can turn my computer quickly if that's okay .Marketing: If you want me to help , yeah .User Interface: Um , yep .Project Manager:{vocalsound}Marketing: Yeah .User Interface: Okay , and then what do I press , F_ eight ?Marketing: Uh F_ eight . Function F_ eight .Project Manager: FunctionF_ eight .User Interface: Oh right .Marketing: Mm s .User Interface: Okay , cool .Marketing: It's not coming .

Okay , and how do I press n just the next button ?Project Manager: Uh just a left uhUser Interface: The arrow ? Okay.Project Manager: left mouse button .User Interface: So um I looked at existing designs and also um the information that Raj gave us was very useful about whatpeople like , what people dislike .

Okay .User Interface: So um what they like and what they find fashionable .Project Manager: 'Kay.User Interface: {vocalsound} And ergonomics , we said um , I don't know I haven't actually been able to do any of this myself ,Project Manager:{vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface: but um maybe that comes up , I don't know .Project Manager: That can come under Arlo as well.User Interface: And the findings , well the basic {disfmarker} that was the basic function to send messages to the television set .Project Manager: Uh .UserInterface: That's what people want to do . Um , so they need to be included , um , but I've got some pictures here of some leading ones . I don't know how to getto them ,Project Manager: Uh if you if you escape then you can see your bar .User Interface: {vocalsound} do I press F_ five is it ? {gap} escape ? Oh okay , cool. I haven't got my glasses on so I hope it's this one .Project Manager: {vocalsound} Uh okay .User Interface: These are two leading um remote controls at themoment .Project Manager: 'Kay .User Interface: You know they're grey , they've I mean this one's got loads of buttons , it's hard to tell from here what they"}

Soif you {disfmarker} yeah , if you breathe under {disfmarker} breathe and then you see AF go off , then you know {pause} it 's p picking up your mouth noise.PhD F: Oh , that 's good . Cuz we have a lot of breath noises .Grad C: Yep . Test .PhD F: In fact , if you listen to just the channels of people not talking , it 's like\" @ @ \" . It 's very disgustGrad C: What ? Did you see Hannibal recently or something ?PhD F: Sorry . Exactly . It 's very disconcerting . OK . So , um ,Grad C:PhD F: I was gonna try to get out of here , like , in half an hour , um , cuz I really appreciate people coming , and {vocalsound} the main thing that I was gonnaask people to help with today is {pause} to give input on what kinds of database format we should {pause} use in starting to link up things like word transcriptsand annotations of word transcripts , so anything that transcribers or discourse coders or whatever put in the signal , {vocalsound} with time - marks for , like ,words and phone boundaries and all the stuff we get out of the forced alignments and the recognizer . So , we have this , um {disfmarker} I think a starting pointis clearly the {disfmarker} the channelized {pause} output of Dave Gelbart 's program , which Don brought a copy of ,Grad C: Yeah . Yeah , I 'm {disfmarker} I'm familiar with that . I mean , we {disfmarker} I sort of already have developed an XML format for this sort of stuff .PhD F: um , which {disfmarker}PhD D: CanI see it ?Grad C: And so the only question {disfmarker} is it the sort of thing that you want to use or not ? Have you looked at that ? I mean , I had a web pageup .PhD F: Right . So ,Grad C: So {disfmarker}PhD F: I actually mostly need to be able to link up , or {disfmarker} I it 's {disfmarker} it 's a question both ofwhat the representation is and {disfmarker}Grad C: You mean , this {disfmarker} I guess I am gonna be standing up and drawing on the board .PhD F: OK ,yeah . So you should , definitely .Grad C: Um , so {disfmarker} so it definitely had that as a concept . So tha it has a single time - line ,PhD F: Mm - hmm .GradC: and then you can have lots of different sections , each of which have I Ds attached to it , and then you can refer from other sections to those I Ds , if you wantto . So that , um {disfmarker} so that you start with {disfmarker} with a time - line tag . \" Time - line \" . And then you have a bunch of times . I don't e I don'tremember exactly what my notation was ,PhD A: Oh , I remember seeing an example of this .Grad C: but it {disfmarker}PhD F: Right , right .PhD A: Yeah .GradC: Yeah , \" T equals one point three two \" , uh {disfmarker} And then I {disfmarker} I also had optional things like accuracy , and then \" ID equals T one , uh ,one seven \" . And then , {nonvocalsound} I also wanted to {disfmarker} to be i to be able to not specify specifically what the time was and just have a stamp.PhD F: Right .Grad C: Yeah , so these are arbitrary , assigned by a program , not {disfmarker} not by a user . So you have a whole bunch of those . And thensomewhere la further down you might have something like an utterance tag which has \" start equals T - seventeen , end equals T - eighteen \" . So what that 'ssaying is , we know it starts at this particular time . We don't know when it ends .PhD F: OK .Grad C: Right ? But it ends at this T - eighteen , which may besomewhere else . We say there 's another utterance . We don't know what the t time actually is but we know that it 's the same time as this end time .PhD A:Mmm .Grad C: You know , thirty - eight , whatever you want .PhD A: So you 're essentially defining a lattice .Grad C: OK . Yes , exactly .PhD A: Yeah .Grad C:And then , uh {disfmarker} and then these also have I Ds . Right ? So you could {disfmarker} you could have some sort of other {disfmarker} other tag later inthe file that would be something like , um , oh , I don't know , {comment} uh , {nonvocalsound} \" noise - type equals {nonvocalsound} door - slam \" . You know? And then , uh , {nonvocalsound} you could either say \" time equals a particular time - mark \" or you could do other sorts of references . So {disfmarker} or{disfmarker} or you might have a prosody {disfmarker} \" Prosody \" right ? D ? T ? D ? T ? T ?PhD F: It 's an O instead of an I , but the D is good .Grad C: Youlike the D ? That 's a good D .PhD F: Yeah .Grad C: Um , you know , so you could have some sort of type here , and then you could have , um {disfmarker} theutterance that it 's referring to could be U - seventeen or something like that .PhD F: OK . So , I mean , that seems {disfmarker} that seems g great for all of theencoding of things with time and ,Grad C: Oh , well .PhD F: um {disfmarker} I {disfmarker} I guess my question is more , uh , what d what do you do with , say, a forced alignment ?PhD A: How - howPhD F: I mean you 've got all these phone labels , and what do you do if you {disfmarker} just conceptually , if you get ,um , transcriptions where the words are staying but the time boundaries are changing , cuz you 've got a new recognition output , or s sort of {disfmarker} what's the , um , sequence of going from the waveforms that stay the same , the transcripts that may or may not change , and then the utterance which {disfmarker}where the time boundaries that may or may not change {disfmarker} ?PhD A: Oh , that 's {disfmarker} That 's actually very nicely handled here because youcould {disfmarker} you could {disfmarker} all you 'd have to change is the , {vocalsound} um , time - stamps in the time - line without {disfmarker} without ,uh , changing the I Ds .PhD F: Um . And you 'd be able to propagate all of the {disfmarker} the information ?Grad C: Right . That 's , the who that 's why you dothat extra level of indirection . So that you can just change the time - line .PhD A: Except the time - line is gonna be huge . If you say {disfmarker}Grad C: Yes.PhD F: Yeah ,PhD A: suppose you have a phone - level alignment .PhD F: yeah , especially at the phone - level .PhD A: You 'd have {disfmarker} you 'd have{disfmarker}PhD F: The {disfmarker} we {disfmarker} we have phone - level backtraces .Grad C: Yeah , this {disfmarker} I don't think I would do this for phone- level . I think for phone - level you want to use some sort of binary representationPhD F: Um {disfmarker}Grad C: because it 'll be too dense otherwise .PhD F:OK . So , if you were doing that and you had this sort of companion , uh , thing that gets called up for phone - level , uh , what would that look like ?PhD A:WhyGrad C: I would use just an existing {disfmarker} an existing way of doing it .PhD F: How would you {disfmarker} ?PhD A: Mmm . But {disfmarker} but whynot use it for phone - level ?PhD F: H hPhD A: It 's just a matter of {disfmarker} it 's just a matter of it being bigger . But if you have {disfmarker} you know ,barring memory limitations , or uh {disfmarker} I w I mean this is still the mGrad C: It 's parsing limitations . I don't want to have this text file that you have toread in the whole thing to do something very simple for .PhD A: Oh , no . You would use it only {pause} for {pause} purposes where you actually want the phone- level information , I 'd imagine .PhD F: So you could have some file that configures how much information you want in your {disfmarker} in your XML orsomething .Grad C: Right . I mean , you 'd {disfmarker} yPhD F: Um ,PhD A: You {disfmarker}Grad C: I {disfmarker} I am imagining you 'd have multipleversions of this depending on the information that you want .PhD F: cuz th it does get very bush with {disfmarker} Right .Grad C: Um , I 'm just {disfmarker}what I 'm wondering is whether {disfmarker} I think for word - level , this would be OK .PhD F: Yeah .Grad C: For word - level , it 's alright .PhD F: Yeah .Definitely .PhD A: Mm - hmm .Grad C: For lower than word - level , you 're talking about so much data that I just {disfmarker} I don't know . I don't know if that{disfmarker}PhD F: I mean , we actually have {disfmarker} So , one thing that Don is doing , is we 're {disfmarker} we 're running {disfmarker} For every frame, you get a pitch value ,PhD D: Lattices are big , too .PhD F: and not only one pitch value but different kinds of pitch valuesGrad C: Yeah , I mean , for somethinglike that I would use P - filePhD F: depending on {disfmarker}Grad C: or {disfmarker} or any frame - level stuff I would use P - file .PhD F: Meaning {disfmarker}?Grad C: Uh , that 's a {disfmarker} well , or something like it . It 's ICS uh , ICSI has a format for frame - level representation of features . Um .PhD F: OK . Thatyou could call {disfmarker} that you would tie into this representation with like an ID .Grad C: Right . Right . Or {disfmarker} or there 's a {disfmarker} there 's aparticular way in XML to refer to external resources .PhD F: And {disfmarker} OK .Grad C: So you would say \" refer to this external file \" . Um , so that externalfile wouldn't be in {disfmarker}PhD F: So that might {disfmarker} that might work .PhD D: But what {disfmarker} what 's the advantage of doing that versusjust putting it into this format ?Grad C: More compact , which I think is {disfmarker} is better .PhD D: Uh - huh .Grad C: I mean , if you did it at this{disfmarker}PhD F: I mean these are long meetings and with {disfmarker} for every frame ,Grad C: You don't want to do it with that {disfmarker} Anything atframe - level you had better encode binaryPhD F: um {disfmarker}Grad C: or it 's gonna be really painful .PhD A: Or you just compre I mean , I like text formats. Um , b you can always , uh , G - zip them , and , um , you know , c decompress them on the fly if y if space is really a concern .PhD D: Yeah , I was thi I wasthinking the advantage is that we can share this with other people .Grad C: Well , but if you 're talking about one per frame , you 're talking about gigabyte - sizefiles . You 're gonna actually run out of space in your filesystem for one file .PhD F: These are big files . These are really {disfmarker} I mean {disfmarker}GradC: Right ? Because you have a two - gigabyte limit on most O Ss .PhD A: Right , OK . I would say {disfmarker} OK , so frame - level is probably not a good idea .But for phone - level stuff it 's perfectly {disfmarker}PhD F: And th it 's {disfmarker}PhD A: Like phones , or syllables , or anything like that .PhD F: Phones areevery five frames though , so . Or something like that .PhD A: But {disfmarker} but {disfmarker} but most of the frames are actually not speech . So , you know, people don't {disfmarker} v Look at it , words times the average {disfmarker} The average number of phones in an English word is , I don't know , {comment}five maybe ?PhD F: Yeah , but we actually {disfmarker}PhD A: So , look at it , t number of words times five . That 's not {disfmarker} that not {disfmarker}PhD"}
+{"doc_id":"doc_137","qid":"","text":"Project Manager: Excellent . So um I sent you the agenda , it was on the {disfmarker} in the project documents . I don't know if you got a chance to just have alook at it . Anyway , it's {disfmarker} the meeting's gonna follow more or less the same structure as last time , so we'll go round each of you in turn and you cangive your presentations on what you've been up to . Um and at the end of that we need to discuss what you've come up with , so that we can make a decision onthe key remote control concepts , so that's {disfmarker} we need to know about the components' properties , materials , the user interface and any trends thatthe Marketing Expert has been watching .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Right .Project Manager: Okay . Um , do you wanna start again ?Industrial Designer:{vocalsound} Okay .Project Manager: Let me {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Right s {vocalsound}Project Manager: we've got forty minutes .IndustrialDesigner: so I haven't made a PowerPoint presentation ,Project Manager: {vocalsound} You haven't made a PowerPoint , okay .Industrial Designer: yeah , I Ithought I'll use the whiteboard instead .Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: Um mm , {vocalsound}Project Manager: Let's hope the pen holds out .{vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: okay , so basically I'll start off by {disfmarker} uh {vocalsound} I thought I'll use the whiteboardbecause we have so many different options and what we can do is that we can start um uh rubbing off the options that we do not require and putting in theoptions that uh are m or highlighting or underlining them or something like that .Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: Okay , so uh I'll start again witha brief introduction to {disfmarker} connect that anyway {disfmarker} brief introduction to the insides of a remote controlProject Manager: Yeah .IndustrialDesigner: and uh then we can probably uh discuss the various components . Yeah . Okay , so w what you see here is {disfmarker} so {vocalsound} this is theoutside of the remote , right ? If you open it , you have a circuit board here , right ,Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: and this is the chip that I wastalking about last time . This basically sends information to a tr uh transistor here , which then uh sends the information to an L_E_D_ device here . If you flip theprinted circuit board , and this is th the most important point here ,Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: uh {vocalsound} everything else is kind of{disfmarker} Okay , so if you flip the circuit board , this is what it looks like . So you see for example a particular button attaches to a particular place on theP_C_B_ and uhProject Manager: Yeah .Industrial Designer: on pressing this button I {disfmarker} a circuit completes , the information goes to the chip , which issomewhere here and the chip that tra then translates the code into an infra infrared radiation , which goes goes out through there . {vocalsound} So uh theimportant point that I read over the website was uh that the configurations of these printed circuit circuit boards uh are quite cheap to make , you can ge getthem printed as you want to ,Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: so w we can have a configuration um irrespective of the cost , the way we want tohave . Right ? So that's the important point here ,Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: so these are the different options that we have . Okay . So thebatteries , I'll start with the battery , right ?Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: So they can be simple which is like uh the normal batteries in uh our{disfmarker} uh the cells , yeah ?Project Manager: Yeah .Industrial Designer: Uh thes these are the kind {disfmarker} different kind of batteries that thecompany makes , right ? So . And dynamos . Um {vocalsound}Marketing: Does that mean like a wind-up one ?Industrial Designer: yeah , yeah .Marketing:{vocalsound} A wind-up remote .Industrial Designer: So uh I don't know if {disfmarker} even if you want to consider this ,User Interface: {vocalsound}IndustrialDesigner: but these are the different things that the company makes , so th they'll they'll {disfmarker}Project Manager: Okay .Industrial Designer: since uhthey'll come internally from the company , they'll be eas uh cheaper , uh all these options .Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: So {vocalsound} thethird one is uh the kinetic energy ones .Marketing: You could make the hand dynamo into an exercise bike , and then people could exercise whilst watching T_V_.Industrial Designer: Yeah .Project Manager: And charging their remote ,Marketing: Yeah , and stop worrying about the whole R_S_I_ from the remote thing ,'cause that's just {disfmarker}Project Manager: yeah .User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} {vocalsound} Yeah , it's a good option.Project Manager: {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound} So what was what was this k kaIndustrial Designer: The the kinetic energy one is uh that e uh uhthey are usually modern watches , since our hand keeps moving , it keeps the watch ticking .User Interface: Okay .Project Manager: Uh yeah .IndustrialDesigner: But I dunno i if it is a good idea for a remote control , because it'll just lie there for a long while sometimes .Project Manager: Mm-hmm . For a remote ,'cause you {disfmarker} Yeah .Industrial Designer: But as soon as you pick it up it moves and then again it uh re recharges or something .User Interface:Mm-hmm .Project Manager: Yeah .Industrial Designer: And the fourth option is the solar cells , which are also {vocalsound} made by the company .Marketing:Yay .User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Environment friendly . Okay {vocalsound} um so I'll list things and then we can come back and discusswhat what we think from uh everybody's perspective .Project Manager: Yeah {vocalsound} .Industrial Designer: There are different cases that can be provided .They can be {disfmarker} basically the shape of the cases , they can be flat , they can be curved with uh one-sided curved and one side flat ,Project Manager:Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: and they can be curved with {disfmarker} on both the sides .Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}These are the three options , right ? Um {vocalsound} {disfmarker}User Interface: {vocalsound} Um you mean this would be like the the overall shape of theremote control , yeah ,Industrial Designer: Yeah , would it be flat on both the sides , would be curved from one side , or whatever {disfmarker}{vocalsound}User Interface: mm-hmm . Yeah , mm-hmm , mm-hmm .Project Manager: Mm-hmm .User Interface: Mm-hmm mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: uhthere were different kind of supplements available , um like it can be in plastic , rubber , wood , or titanium , right ?Project Manager: Mm-hmm . Okay .IndustrialDesigner: Wo wo wood .Marketing: Did you say wool ?Project Manager: Wood , wood .Marketing: Wood . Oh right .User Interface: {vocalsound}IndustrialDesigner: Yeah . {vocalsound} Not wool . {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound} .Project Manager: {vocalsound} A fluffy remote . {vocalsound}Marketing: Yeah, you'll understand why when we get to my presenta {vocalsound} .Industrial Designer: Oh really ? {vocalsound} Okay . Um the {disfmarker}Project Manager:Huh .Industrial Designer: so uh we can use even um {vocalsound} a certain titanium is also used uh in the company to make uh {vocalsound} uh some spacedesign equipment , so it's kind of um uh it'll be probably nicer to use , because it relates to the overall image of the company , but uh it cannot be used on adouble curved surface . If we choose this , we cannot use titanium . For for these two we can use titanium , wood , rubber , or plastic .Project Manager: Mm.Industrial Designer: Yeah ?Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: Uh okay , the interface options now . So {vocalsound} we can have push-buttons ,like most remotes do and our company is an expert in making push-buttons .Project Manager: {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer:Ooh . Uh we can have scroll wheels like the ones on um uh mouse pointers uh uh {disfmarker}Marketing: Sony .Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Marketing: SonyEricsson mobile phones has it .Industrial Designer: Yeah , yeah , something like that .Marketing: Mm .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} So , and they have{disfmarker} they can even have an an integrated uh push-button inside the scrolling thing .Project Manager: Okay .Industrial Designer: The scroll plus push . Sothis is something that has been recently developed by the company , um {vocalsound} in the last decade , so not too recent . And L_C_D_s , we can haveL_C_D_s . So these two are recent and and this is q quite old .Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} The various electronic options areum uh {vocalsound} so th this concerns firs first of all the the chips I I showed you at uh {disfmarker} so there's there's a chip behind this one , right ? TheP_C_B_ is uh inexpensive , so we can put put in uh whatever we want , but the various integrated circuit options are , we have either a simple oneProjectManager: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: or a regular or advanced . And uh the price goes up as we go down , obviously .Project Manager: Mm-hmm .IndustrialDesigner: Um {vocalsound} okay , so the good thing about uh wh wh why why we would want to use advanced u why we might want to use advanced is thatL_C_D_s can only come with the advanced chip .Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: Um the {disfmarker} we need regular or advanced for uh scrollwheels . Right ? Um {vocalsound} and the chip basically includes the infra infrared sender .Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: Yeah . Uh besidesthis in electr under electronics uh also the company has started making a sample sender , which is {vocalsound} {disfmarker} did not explained what i what itwas , but I'm guessing that uh {vocalsound} {disfmarker} so they have a sample sender and a sample speaker . So I'm guessing that uh the sample speaker isprobably something like um uh you know , as soon as you press a button , it it mm uh give gives you feedback , one five or whatever . Yeah , on .ProjectManager: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: Um {vocalsound} and uh I dunno whether sample sender sender has to do something with voice recognition or not , butanyway .Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: So , these are the different options that we have . Okay , so {vocalsound} th that's that's basically{disfmarker} now now uh I think that uh we can integrate um {vocalsound} uh you know , uh the user interface uh and uh the marketing things in that , keep uhtaking out things from this and uh underlining things that are important , yeah .Project Manager: Yeah .User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Excellent . Do you wanna stay somewhere near the board , so that if we need to {disfmarker}User Interface: Okay .Industrial Designer: Yeah , yeah , sure . Sure. Yeah .Project Manager: you can sit down , but just {disfmarker} {vocalsound} we might need you to leap up .User Interface: {vocalsound} Okay .ProjectManager: What are you , PowerPoint , or {disfmarker}User Interface: Um I have some PowerPoint , yeah .Industrial Designer: Right .Project Manager: Okay"}
+{"doc_id":"doc_138","qid":"","text":"User Interface: .. .Project Manager: Okay . So , this is uh first meeting of this design project . Um and I um like to show you the agenda for the meeting , I don'tknow if it was sent round to all of you .User Interface: Mm , yeah .Project Manager: Maybe not . Anyway ,User Interface: I didn't receive it yet {vocalsound}.Project Manager: this is the the plan for today's meeting is um firstly just to introduce the project briefly , um although I'm sure you've actually got some of theinformation already . Then the main purpose is to {disfmarker} so that we get to know each other a little bit more .Industrial Designer: Mm-hmm .ProjectManager: Um then we want to practice using some of the tools that we'll be using during the the course of the design project and the meetings , um specificallythe whiteboard over there . Um then we need to go through the specifics of our project plan um and discuss {disfmarker} come up with some preliminary ideasabout it . And then that's it . So we've got twenty five minutes to do that , that's until eleven twenty five .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} {gap} so shProjectManager: S so any any questions ?Industrial Designer: {gap} {vocalsound} {gap} .Project Manager: Is i {gap} not at this point .User Interface: Not at this point.Project Manager: So this is our project . What we're aiming to do is to create a new remote control for a television . Um we want it to be something original ,something trendy and also something user friendly , so it has to be quite intuitive that people are able to use this product . The method that we're going to use tocomplete the project , that has three components as such . There's the functional design of the the remote control . We're going {disfmarker} the way we'll dothat I think is to to work individually initially and then come together for meetings to to work on that . Um similarly with the conceptual design , we'll start off byworking individually with our own expertise on our own laptops and then we'll bring what we've done together . Um and then the detailed design will come afterthat . We'll pull it all together .Industrial Designer: I'm a bit confused about uh what's the difference between the functional design and conceptual design ? Uh i isit just uh more detail , uh as I understand it ?Project Manager: I think it {disfmarker} th w we're talking the the functional design is more your um area of thingswhere you'll be {disfmarker} we want to look at what functions we need in the remote controlIndustrial Designer: Right .Project Manager: and what what specificthings it it has to doIndustrial Designer: {gap}Project Manager: but the conceptual design is um perhaps bigger than that and includes the {disfmarker} howpeople are going to use it and and that kind of thing .Industrial Designer: How how it will be done . So whe where do we identify the components of our uhproduct ? Uh I think it's it's in the conceptual design phase that we identify the {disfmarker} it's in the conceptual design phase that we identify the componentsof our product ?Project Manager: Um I think we'll we'll start that initially with the functional design already but thenIndustrial Designer: Okay .Project Manager:{disfmarker} yeah . Okay , so that's just a brief overview of the p the the project itself . Um what I'd like us to do now is simultaneously introduce ourselves andstart using some of the tools that we're using for {vocalsound} for the project , specifically the whiteboard .Industrial Designer: Hmm .Project Manager: So eachperson in turn , I'd like us to go up to the whiteboard , the pen's just underneath it there and draw your favourite animal and then tell everyone what the f yourfavourite characteristics of that animal are and while you're doing that tell us your name , what your role is and perhaps how your animal relates to the role thatyou're taking in this project . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: Why are you looking at me ?User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing:{vocalsound}Project Manager: Would you like to go first ? {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound} Do I have a choice ? {vocalsound}Industrial Designer:{vocalsound}Marketing: Okay . Ooh ooh , things falling everywhere .Project Manager: Oh , yeah ,Marketing: Right , okay .Project Manager: p put them in pockets.Marketing: Cool . Okay .Project Manager: You don't have to hurry , we've got plenty of time .Marketing: So , my name's Cat and I'm really not very good at thiswhole drawing malarkeyIndustrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound}Marketing: so um {disfmarker}User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing:Okay .User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: It's got no eyes .Marketing: Oh , good point . Ah , the eyes always ruin it .Right . Okay , what do {gap} it's eyes like ? Okay , cool . Um this is a rabbit . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound} Ithought it might be a cat . {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound} Yeah well origi uh at first I thought it was going to be cat . {vocalsound}IndustrialDesigner: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound}Marketing: Yeah , I don't think it's furry enough , so we'll make it a fluffy rabbit .User Interface: Yeah nowI now I understand now , yeah . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound} Yeah I can see by the ears .User Interface: Yeah.Marketing: Okay , right , it's a fluffy rabbit , blue .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: Rabbits don't come in blue but you know .Industrial Designer:{vocalsound}Marketing: Um okay and I like it because it's small {vocalsound} and it's fluffy .Project Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {gap}ProjectManager: Mm .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: And one day you'll be able to getical genetically modify them and theywill come in pink .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound}User Interface: Ah . {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound} Okay ?IndustrialDesigner: Mm .Project Manager: Excellent , and what's your what's your role within the team ?Marketing: I am the um {disfmarker} I need my notebook , mmooh {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: top banana . Thank you . Okay , cool , I am the Marketing Expert {vocalsound} um so like I'mgonna be doing the {disfmarker} apparently according to the little guy in the computer that knows everything {disfmarker} the user g requirements specificationof the functional design , um trend watching in the conceptual design and product evad-valuation in the detailed design {vocalsound}Project Manager:{vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Mm-hmm .

Cool . {vocalsound}Project Manager: Excellent , to match the rabbit . {vocalsound}User Interface:{vocalsound} {vocalsound} Okay . Um so my name is Maarika . Where's the pen ? Okay .Project Manager: There's a {disfmarker} an {disfmarker} if you havenot enough room there's an eraser there and you can rub it off .User Interface: Yeah , well , or I can make it smaller . {vocalsound} Uh so um um I'm theInterface Designer in this project and my favourite animal , I m I mean I'm not so sure because I'm not so so very um {vocalsound} familiar with all kinds ofanimals , but I do like dogs .Project Manager: {vocalsound}User Interface: Oh , sorry , maybe I should have {disfmarker} shouldn't have said it beforehandbutIndustrial Designer: Mm .User Interface: mm {vocalsound} hmm .Project Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing:{vocalsound}User Interface: Um well , there are different kinds of dogs , but okay um .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}{vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} That's not bad at all .Project Manager: Ah it looks like a dog .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Yep .Marketing:Is a bit more impressive than my rabbit .User Interface: Okay .Marketing: I think it needs four legs if it's gonna walk though .Industrial Designer:{vocalsound}User Interface: Yeah , maybe it has some colourful patches , yeah .Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound} {gap} the other legsare on the other side .User Interface: Um yeah and I do like dogs because they are good friends to people and they are loyal . Mm , well that's compared to someother animals like cats . Um they're really much more fun because they are not so independent .Project Manager: {vocalsound}User Interface: Um yeah maybemaybe the fact that they protect their home as well , yeah . Um what it has to do with with my role in the project is hard to say .Project Manager:{vocalsound}User Interface: Uh I hope to be loyal to the projectIndustrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}User Interface: and not to n not to umlet people doing similar projects know the details of our project or something , {vocalsound} yeah .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: And wherewhere are you from ?User Interface: I'm from EstoniaProject Manager: Estonia .User Interface: uh , yep . Um so is there anything else you'd like to know ?

So why don't we just around and people can give updates .PhDE: Oh .PhD F: Uh , do you want to start , Stephane ?PhD C: Alright . Um . Well , the first thing maybe is that the p Eurospeech paper is , uh , accepted . Um .Yeah .PhD F: This is {disfmarker} what {disfmarker} what do you , uh {disfmarker} what 's in the paper there ?PhD C: So it 's the paper that describe basicallythe , um , system that were proposed for the {pause} Aurora .PhD F: The one that we s we submitted the last round ?PhD C: Right , yeah .PhD D: Yeah .PhD F:Uh - huh .PhD C: Um {disfmarker} Yeah . So and the , fff {comment} comments seems {disfmarker} from the reviewer are good . So .PhD F: Hmm .PhD C:Mmm {disfmarker} Yeah .PhD F: Where {disfmarker} where 's it gonna be this year ?PhD C: It 's , uh , Aalborg in Denmark . And it 's ,PhD F: Oh , OK .PhD C:yeah , September .PhD F: Mmm .PhD C: Mmm {disfmarker} Yeah . Then , uh , whhh well , I 've been working on {disfmarker} on t mainly on on - linenormalization this week . Uh , I 've been trying different {disfmarker} slightly {disfmarker} slightly different approaches . Um , the first thing is trying to play alittle bit again with the , um , time constant . Uh , second thing is , uh , the training of , uh , on - line normalization with two different means , one mean for thesilence and one for the speech . Um , and so I have two recursions which are controlled by the , um , probability of the voice activity detector . Mmm . Thisactually don't s doesn't seem to help , although it doesn't hurt . So . But {disfmarker} well , both {pause} on - line normalization approach seems equivalent .Well , they {disfmarker}PhD F: Are the means pretty different {pause} for the two ?PhD C: Yeah . They can be very different . Yeah . Mm - hmm .PhD F: Hmm.Professor B: So do you maybe make errors in different places ? Different kinds of errors ?PhD C: I didn't look , uh , more closely . Um . It might be , yeah . Mm -hmm . Um . Well , eh , there is one thing that we can observe , is that the mean are more different for {disfmarker} for C - zero and C - one than for the othercoefficients . And {disfmarker} Yeah . And {disfmarker} Yeah , it {disfmarker} the C - one is {disfmarker} There are strange {disfmarker} strange thinghappening with C - one , is that when you have different kind of noises , the mean for the {disfmarker} the silence portion is {disfmarker} can be different . And{disfmarker}PhD F: Hmm .PhD C: So when you look at the trajectory of C - one , it 's {disfmarker} has a strange shape and I was expecting th the s that thesetwo mean helps , especially because of the {disfmarker} the strange C - ze C - one shape , uh , which can {disfmarker} like , yo you can have , um , a trajectoryfor the speech and then when you are in the silence it goes somewhere , but if the noise is different it goes somewhere else .PhD F: Oh .PhD C: So which wouldmean that if we estimate the mean based on all the signal , even though we have frame dropping , but we don't frame ev uh , drop everything , but {disfmarker}uh , this can {disfmarker} hurts the estimation of the mean for speech , and {disfmarker} Mmm . {comment} But I still have to investigate further , I think . Um, a third thing is , um , {vocalsound} that instead of t having a fixed time constant , I try to have a time constant that 's smaller at the beginning of theutterances to adapt more quickly to the r something that 's closer to the right mean . T t um {disfmarker} Yeah . And then this time constant increases and Ihave a threshold that {disfmarker}Professor B: Mm - hmm .PhD C: well , if it 's higher than a certain threshold , I keep it to this threshold to still , uh , adapt ,um , the mean when {disfmarker} {vocalsound} if the utterance is , uh , long enough to {disfmarker} to continue to adapt after , like , one secondProfessor B:Mm - hmm . Mm - hmm .PhD C: or {disfmarker} Mmm . Uh , well , this doesn't help neither , but this doesn't hurt . So , well . It seems pretty {disfmarker}PhDF: Wasn't there some experiment you were gonna try where you did something differently for each , um , {vocalsound} uh {disfmarker} I don't know whether itwas each mel band or each , uh , um , FFT bin or someth There was something you were gonna {disfmarker} uh , {comment} some parameter you were gonnavary depending on the frequency . I don't know if that was {disfmarker}PhD C: I guess it was {disfmarker} I don't know . No . u Maybe it 's this {disfmarker}this idea of having different {pause} on - line normalization , um , tunings for the different MFCC 's .PhD F: For each , uh {disfmarker}Professor B: Mm - hmm.PhD C: But {disfmarker} Mm - hmm .PhD F: Yeah . I {disfmarker} I thought , Morgan , you brought it up a couple meetings ago . And then it was somethingabout , uh , some and then somebody said \" yeah , it does seem like , you know , C - zero is the one that 's , you know , the major one \" or , uh , s I can'tremember exactly what it was now .PhD C: Mmm . Yeah . There {disfmarker} uh , actually , yeah . S um , it 's very important to normalize C - zero and {pause}much less to normalize the other coefficients . And , um , actu uh , well , at least with the current on - line normalization scheme . And we {disfmarker} I think ,we {vocalsound} kind of know that normalizing C - one doesn't help with the current scheme . And {disfmarker} and {disfmarker} Yeah . In my idea , I{disfmarker} I was thinking that the {disfmarker} the {disfmarker} the reason is maybe because of these funny things that happen between speech and silencewhich have different means . Um {disfmarker} Yeah . But maybe it 's not so {disfmarker} {vocalsound} so easy to {disfmarker}Professor B: Um , I I reallywould like to suggest looking , um , a little bit at the kinds of errors . I know you can get lost in that and go forever and not see too much , but {disfmarker}{vocalsound} sometimes ,PhD C: Mm - hmm .Professor B: but {disfmarker} but , um , just seeing that each of these things didn't make things better may not beenough . It may be that they 're making them better in some ways and worse in others ,PhD C: Yeah . Mm - hmm .Professor B: or increasing insertions anddecreasing deletions , or {disfmarker} or , um , um , you know , helping with noisy case but hurting in quiet case . And if you saw that then maybe you{disfmarker} it would {disfmarker} {vocalsound} something would occur to you of how to deal with that .PhD C: Mm - hmm . Mm - hmm .PhD D: Hmm .PhD C:Alright . Mmm . Yeah . W um , So that 's it , I think , for the on - line normalization . Um {disfmarker} Yeah . I 've been playing a little bit with some kind ofthresholding , and , mmm , as a first experiment , I think I Yeah . Well , what I did is t is to take , um {disfmarker} {vocalsound} to measure the average{disfmarker} no , the maximum energy of s each utterance and then put a threshold {disfmarker} Well , this for each mel band . Then put a threshold that 'sfifteen DB below {disfmarker} well , uh , a couple of DB below this maximum ,Professor B: Mm - hmm . Mmm .PhD C: and {disfmarker} Actually it was not athreshold , it was just adding noise .Professor B: Mm - hmm .PhD C: So I was adding a white noise energy , uh , that 's fifteen DB below the maximum energy ofthe utterance . And {disfmarker} Yeah . When we look at {disfmarker} at the , um , MFCC that result from this , they are {pause} a lot more smoother . Um ,when we compare , like , a channel zero and channel one utterance {disfmarker} um , so a clean and , uh , the same noisy utterance {disfmarker} well , there isalmost no difference between the cepstral coefficients of the two .PhD F: Hmm .PhD C: Um . And {disfmarker} Yeah . And the result that we have in term ofspeech recognition , actually it 's not {disfmarker} it 's not worse , it 's not better neither , but it 's , um , kind of surprising that it 's not worsePhD F: Hmm .PhDC: because basically you add noise that 's fifteen DB {disfmarker} just fifteen DB below {pause} the maximum energy .Grad A: Sorry .PhD C: And at least{disfmarker}PhD F: So why does that m {pause} smooth things out ? I don't {disfmarker} I don't understand that .Professor B: Well , there 's less difference .Right ?PhD C: It 's {disfmarker} I think , it 's whitening {disfmarker} This {disfmarker} the portion that are more silent ,Professor B: Cuz it 's {disfmarker}PhDC: as you add a white noise that are {disfmarker} has a very high energy , it whitens everythingPhD F: Huh . Oh , OK .PhD C: and {disfmarker} and the high -energy portion of the speech don't get much affected anyway by the other noise . And as the noise you add is the same is {disfmarker} {pause} the shape , it 'salso the same .PhD F: Hmm .Professor B: Yeah .PhD C: So they have {disfmarker} the trajectory are very , very similar . And {disfmarker} and{disfmarker}Professor B: So , I mean , again , if you trained in one kind of noise and tested in the same kind of noise , you 'd {disfmarker} you know , givenenough training data you don't do b do badly . The reason that we d that we have the problems we have is because {pause} it 's different in training and test .Even if {vocalsound} the general kind is the same , the exact instances are different . And {disfmarker} andPhD F: Mm - hmm .Professor B: so when you whitenit , then it 's like you {disfmarker} the {disfmarker} the only noise {disfmarker} to {disfmarker} to first order , the only th noise that you have is white noise andyou 've added the same thing to training and test .PhD F: Mm - hmm .Professor B: So it 's ,PhD F: Hmm .Professor B: uh {disfmarker}PhD F: So would that{pause} be similar to , like , doing the smoothing , then , over time or {disfmarker} ?PhD C: Mm - hmm .Professor B: Well , it 's a kind of smoothing ,PhD C: Ithink it 's {disfmarker} I think it 's different .Professor B: but {disfmarker}PhD C: It 's {disfmarker} it 's something that {disfmarker} yeah , that affects more orless the silence portions because {disfmarker}PhD F: Mm - hmm .PhD C: Well , anyway , the sp the portion of speech that ha have high energy are not ch a lotaffected by the noises in the Aurora database .Professor B: Mm - hmm .PhD C: If {disfmarker} if you compare th the two shut channels of SpeechDat - Car duringspeech portion , it 's n n n the MFCC are not very different . They are very different when energy 's lower , like during fricatives or during speech pauses . And,Professor B: Yeah , but you 're still getting more recognition errors ,PhD C: uh {disfmarker}Professor B: which means {vocalsound} that the differences , eventhough they look like they 're not so big , {vocalsound} are {disfmarker} are hurting your recognition .PhD C: YeProfessor B: Right ?PhD C: Yeah . So it distort"}

Um {vocalsound} hopefully this meeting I'll be doinga little bit less talking than I did last time 'cause this is when you get to show us what you've been doing individually . The agenda for the meeting , I put it in thesh shared documents folder . I don't know if that meant that you could see it or not .User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Did anyone ?IndustrialDesigner: Mm .User Interface: No .Project Manager: No . Oh well . Um I'll try and do that for the next meeting as well so if you check in there , there's a sharedproject documents folder . Um and it should be in there .User Interface: Mm . Um um wi on on a what ? Oh project project documents , yeah , yeah , yeah , okay.Project Manager: Project documents , yeah . So I'll put it in there .User Interface: Oh okay , yeah .Project Manager: Is it best if I send you an email maybe , tolet you know it's there ?User Interface: Yes , I think so .Project Manager: Yep . I'll do that next time . Um {vocalsound} I'll act as secretary for this meeting andjust take minutes as we go through , and then I'll send them to you after the meeting . The main the main focus of this meeting is your presentations that you'vebeen preparing during the time , so we'll go through each of you one by one . Um then we need to briefly discuss the new project requirements that were sent tous . I just sentUser Interface: Yeah , the last minute , yeah ,Project Manager: at the last minute , I'm sorry about that ,User Interface: yeah .Project Manager:but we can see how that affects what you were you were doing .User Interface: Yeah .Project Manager: Um and then we need to , by the end of the meetingcome to some kind of decision on who our target group's going to be and what the functions of the remote control {disfmarker} that's the the main goal is tocome up with those two things , target group and functions of the remote control . And we've got forty minutes to do that in . So I would say{disfmarker}Industrial Designer: You said uh targ target groups ,Project Manager: yeah ?Industrial Designer: what does that mean ?Project Manager: As uh whoit is that we're going to be trying to sell this thing to ,User Interface: {vocalsound} Um {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Uh okay , 'kay .Project Manager: yeah.Industrial Designer: So are {disfmarker}Project Manager: So we need to {disfmarker} yeah , we need to have a fairly defined group that that we want to focusonIndustrial Designer: Okay .Project Manager: and then look at the functions um of the dem remote control itself . So with that I think it's best if I hand over toyou . Does anyone have a preference for going first ?Industrial Designer: Alright . {vocalsound} I can go first ,Project Manager: You wanna go first ?IndustrialDesigner: yeah .User Interface: Okay . Hmm .Project Manager: Okay , so we need to unplug my laptop and plug in yours .Industrial Designer:{vocalsound}Project Manager: I assume we just pull it out ?User Interface: Mm .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} {vocalsound} Right . Um {vocalsound} so ffrom the {disfmarker}Project Manager: Just before you start , to make it easier , would you three mind emailing me your presentations ? Once we {disfmarker}you don't have to do it now but when {disfmarker} once you go back ,User Interface: Okay , yeah , afterwards , yeah , okay .Industrial Designer: Right sure.Project Manager: just so that I don't have to scribble everything down .Industrial Designer: Uh okay . {vocalsound} {vocalsound} So n uh with uh with regard tothe {vocalsound} uh working design of this uh uh remote control uh I've identified um {vocalsound} a few basic uh components of the remote and uh{vocalsound} se uh from the design , functional design perspective um w I c we can now uh know wha what exactly the components are and how how they worktogether with each other . {vocalsound} {vocalsound} So {vocalsound} {vocalsound} this is the method that uh I'll mostly be following in my um {vocalsound}in my uh role . Um the identification of the components , uh and uh since since I'm dealing only with the technical aspects , I would need feedback from themarketing person uh and {vocalsound} uh from the user interface person . Uh we'll then integrate this into the product design at a technical levelProjectManager: Hmm .Industrial Designer: and uh basically update and come up with a new design , so it's a cyclical process . {vocalsound} Okay , so {vocalsound}these were the basic findings from today . The last three bullets have been integrated from uh the last minute uh email . Uh I just quickly jotted them down . Um{vocalsound} so basically uh the {disfmarker} as I told you the identification of how the remote control works and what are the various parts to it uh and whatare the different processes um {vocalsound} and how the parts uh communicate with each other . Um {vocalsound} okay , so e the mee email said that teletextis now outdated , so we need to do away with that functionality of the remote control . Um also uh the remote control should be used only for television , becauseincorporating other features um makes it more comp complex . And the reason why teletext is outdated because uh of internet and uh the availability of internetover television . How however , our our remote control would only be dealing uh with the {vocalsound} the use for television , {vocalsound} in order to keepthings simple . Um {vocalsound} also the management wants that um our design should be unique uh it {disfmarker} so {vocalsound} it should incorporate umcolour and the slogan uh that our company um has it as its standard . {vocalsound} Okay , so he he here is a functional overview of the remote control . Um{vocalsound} there's basically an energy source at the heart uh which feeds into the chip and the user interface . The user interf interface communicates with thechip , so {vocalsound} I'll basic go over to the {disfmarker} Okay . {vocalsound} So {vocalsound} if uh if this is our energy source and this is a cell , uh itcommunicates {disfmarker} uh it feeds energy into the into the chip , which basically finds out h uh how how to do everything . There is a user interface here .{vocalsound} So whe when the user presses a button , it feeds into the chip and the chip then generates a response and takes the response to an infraredterminal , um which then {disfmarker} so the output of the chip is an infrared bit code , which is then communicated {vocalsound} to the remote site , which hhas an infrared receiver . Um the there can be uh a bulb here or something to indicate whether the remote is on or communicating . Um so these are the essentso a all the functionality of the remote control , whatever new functions that we need to do , um make the chip more complicated uh and bigger , basically.Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Okay . {vocalsound} Um so {vocalsound} i in my personal preferences um {vocalsound} I'mhoping that we can ke keep the design as simple and clear as possible . This would uh help us uh to upgrade our technology at a future point of time . And uh alsoif we can incorporate uh the latest features in our chip design , so that our um {vocalsound} uh remote control does not become outdated soon and it'scompatible with mot most uh televisions . {vocalsound} That's about it . {vocalsound} So anything that you would like to know or {vocalsound}{disfmarker}Project Manager: Okay .User Interface: {vocalsound} Thanks .Project Manager: Do you have any um i idea about costs at this point ?IndustrialDesigner: {vocalsound} No , I don't have any idea about what each component costs .Project Manager: {vocalsound} BrIndustrial Designer: Um yeah .ProjectManager: Okay . 'Cause that's something to consider , I guess , if we're if we're using more advanced technology , it might increase the price .IndustrialDesigner: Yeah . Certainly , yeah . So so tha yeah , {vocalsound} we definitely need to operate within our constraints ,Project Manager: Yeah .IndustrialDesigner: but um {vocalsound} unfortunately I I do not have any data , so uh I just identified the functional components for that .Project Manager: That's fine .Are there any more questions , or shall we just skip straight to the next one and then we can discuss all of them together at the end ?User Interface:{vocalsound} I think we need like some general discussion at the end probably .Industrial Designer: Yeah , okay .Project Manager: Yeah , I think that will do .Okay , so do you want to {disfmarker}User Interface: Yeah . Yeah , I think since since we were discussing some um design issues then I I I would like to continue{disfmarker}Project Manager: Yes , shall shall we pull this up ?User Interface: okay , yeah .Project Manager: I think that has to come out of there .IndustrialDesigner: Yeah .Project Manager: Yeah .Industrial Designer: Mm 'kay .User Interface: {vocalsound} Thanks .Project Manager: Yeah , I thought those last minutethings , they're gonna hit you the worst . {vocalsound}User Interface: Oh i {vocalsound} Okay , I hope {disfmarker} wait . Should it just {disfmarker}IndustrialDesigner: I it'll take some time .Project Manager: It ta takes a little {disfmarker} Oh , and have you {disfmarker}User Interface: There's just nothing .ProjectManager: you need to then also press on yours , function F_ eight ,User Interface: Oh right , right , right , um {disfmarker}Project Manager: so the blue functionkey at the bottom and F_ eight .User Interface: Okay . NothinIndustrial Designer: Oh , there it is , yeah .User Interface: okay , something is coming up .ProjectManager: {vocalsound} Now it's coming ,Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} It'll come up , it {disfmarker} um uh no signal .Project Manager: computer no signal.User Interface: No signal ?

Okay , let's start from the beginning . So I'm going to speak about technical functions design uh just like some{vocalsound} some first issues that came up . Um 'kay , so the method I was um adopting at this point , it's not um for the for the whole um period of the um{vocalsound} all the project but it's just at th at this very moment .Project Manager: Mm-hmm .User Interface: Um uh my method was um to look at um other"}

Iwill uh take minutes and will put uh the minutes that I have uh at the end of the session in the shared folder . {vocalsound} Also the minutes of the previoussession are also in the shared folder now , so you can read that uh now or afterwards . Um {vocalsound} uh I had an email from the from the managementboardMarketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: uh , I don't know if you a al also uh received it , but there were four points uh which uh I think are very important. First one is uh they think that uh teletext teletext becomes outdated uh and internet will be the the main uh focus . {vocalsound} Uh second one is alsoimportant uh , because it's one of the discussion points of the previous session . Uh the remote control shou should onl only be used for the television , so it uhnot gonna it's not gonna be a multi-purpose remote control , so uh that's one thing to keep in mind .User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}ProjectManager: Uh second , and I think that's important for the Marketing uh Expert , uh the current uh customers uh are in the age group group of uh forty years andolder , but with this uh new remote uh they uh will uh {disfmarker} would like to reach uh a group uh younger than uh forty . Uh and uh I think to keep in mind ,but not really uh for now is that they uh want the the the slogan and the and the logo uh to uh to be recognised more in the remote .Marketing:{vocalsound}Project Manager: So , we have uh forty minutes , so I think uh not more than ten minutes uh uh per presentation uh each , and please uh use uh allthe the the facilities so that you have either SMARTboards , the the Word files , what you uh {disfmarker} whatever you want . So uh Tim , can you start ? Yeah?Marketing: Okay . {vocalsound} 'Kay , welcome . I have some uh new findings on uh Marketing Expert level ,User Interface: Mm-hmm .Marketing: which I willshow you . {vocalsound} The method I used was um giving orders to our usability lab uh to do a questionnaire . Um {vocalsound} one hundred respondents wereinvolved and my marketing uh department generated a report with a lot of results . Um , these were a couple of findings , first page of three . Um , we have threeaudiences of {disfmarker} two audiences , {vocalsound} I'm sorry . Uh the first one , this scale , from sixteen to forty five {gap} age . Uh the second one is fromsixty four {disfmarker} uh forty six to sixty five . Um , as you can see here , the market share for the first audience is about sixty percent {disfmarker} um sixtyfive . Uh second audience audience is uh thirty five percent . Mm {vocalsound} and some interests from the from the age groups , uh it seems like the youngusers of remote controls really like the fancy uh new technology stuff , like uh an L_C_D_ screen on the remote control , um speech recognition . I don't thinkthat's uh really appropriate . Um , {vocalsound} and when you see uh the audience , the age is going up uh {disfmarker} Yeah , they don't really want itanymore , at least the new technologies . Second findings {vocalsound} out of the questionnaire um are the opinion {vocalsound} the opinions uh of theaudience about current remote controls . First point is , seventy five percent of the users find the most repo remote controls very ugly , uh and eighty percent ofthe users would spend more money when a remote control would look fancy . So that's maybe something for the User Interface uh Designer . Okay , thirdfindings . According to the frequency of use versus importance investigation , um {vocalsound} following buttons are most important . Um , I will tell somethingabout the way this uh this test was , yeah , done . Um , {vocalsound} persons were asked uh what the buttons were uh they use most , how much an hour,Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Marketing: and uh in the second table the importance of those buttons . Um , when you multiply them , you get the {disfmarker}these three points . Switching channels , um yeah , that's pretty uh pretty normal , that's what you do with a remote control . Um the second , teletext , uh andthe third , uh volume controls . Um , I think it's good uh that we know what the user want {disfmarker} wants , uh at least the these three points have to be uhvery clear .Project Manager: But it's strange that the the manage board {disfmarker} the management board said that the teletext will be uh outdated by theinternet . So that that's strange .Marketing: Yeah , okay . Yeah , okay , but uh at the moment uh teletext is {disfmarker} Yeah , th the best thing you can get uhon T_V_ , like getting information .Project Manager: Yeah , okay . Yeah .Marketing: So uh , when you ask people , what do they use , {vocalsound} they useteletext and not the internet on a remote control .Project Manager: Okay . Yeah , okay .Marketing: That's ridiculous . {vocalsound}Project Manager: Yeah.Marketing: That's a ne i it {disfmarker} It's a new technology ,Project Manager: Yeah .Marketing: but it's not incorporated right now . Okay , my personalpreferences . Um , I think we should aim at the uh audience from sixteen to forty five . {vocalsound} Mm , first of all um it's the biggest share , the biggestaudience , sixty five percent . Uh second , I think you will get the most revenue from i from it . Um , yeah , people from sixteen to forty five watch a lot of T_V_ ,more than uh people who are el uh elder . Um {vocalsound} second point , {vocalsound} we have to impro improve the most used functions , as I said here ,switching channels , teletext and volume controls . Third point um that came out of the uh {disfmarker} of the questionnaire , uh people used to uh get lost offthe remote controller , so maybe it's an idea for us uh to design ex kind of placeholder uh on side of the , yeah , of the T_V_Project Manager: Yeah , that's a coolidea .Marketing: where you can put the the remote control in . {vocalsound} Um , that's about it , I think . Yeah .Industrial Designer: When you mentioned uhimproving functions , what uh what do you mean by that what what are you think about ?Marketing: Uh not not the r not the functions ,Industrial Designer:{vocalsound} Uh , the funtionability .Marketing: but uh it came out that a lot of buttons weren't even used uh on a remote control . So you can have a remotecontrol full of buttons , a hundreds hundreds of buttons , but if you don't use them , yeah it's {disfmarker}Project Manager: Yeah .Industrial Designer: Ah okay ,so focusing more on the used buttons .Marketing: Yeah , they have to be on itIndustrial Designer: Yeah .Marketing: j just to t to get it done if necessary ,UserInterface: {vocalsound}Marketing: but um the most used buttons uh have to be bigger or {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Could you use perhaps uh one buttonfor multiple functions , like example pressing it in longer makes it switch to an different function for example .Marketing: Yeah , perhaps .Industrial Designer:Thank you .Marketing: Just for the minor functions perhaps .Industrial Designer: Yeah , ma perhaps , just just an idea .Marketing: Just to get less buttons on theremote control , to make it easier and quicker to learn .Industrial Designer: Yeah .Marketing: Yeah ? 'Kay , that's it .Project Manager: Thank you , Tim .{vocalsound} Janus , can you uh {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Uh yeah yeah , I'll go , sure . Right uh , I'll be uh explaining a bit about uh working designabout uh the project . Well uh what I did was I dissected uh uh current remote controls and um I viewed how how they w looked , how they worked , uh whatkind of components are involved , and how they are connected together . And uh after that I put up a scheme about how uh these things are organised and I'llshow it to you in in a in a few seconds . And I'll explain a bit about uh how it works and how we could uh build one and why I think several possibilities uh that wediscussed in the earlier meeting falls off . Um right . Uh well what I did was uh I I checked uh remote controls and the uh remote controls of today are all infrared, not like all probably know . And the thing about that is um the remote controls uh have to act as a T_V_ or uh a stereo or something , and those uh have atransmitter that's also focused on infrared , so if we want to uh build uh mm a remote control uh with Bluetooth for instance then uh the T_V_ should haveBluetooth too in order to communicate , so that would mean extra cost for the user and thus uh that's that wouldn't mean a a cheap uh remote control for us . Sothat's probably why most controls are still infrared . Furthermore they all have uh a a very simple structure , so that would probably uh mean lower costs and uh ithat could mean for us a good thing uh 'cause uh well we we should be able to build a relatively cheap uh {gap} a cheap uh remote . Well uh as I mentionedready , we have some Bluetooth {disfmarker} Well it may be possible , but uh I figured it wouldn't be possible in {disfmarker} within our budget , but that's notfor me to decide , but that's maybe something for marketing to look into . F because uh {disfmarker} well my personal opinion is uh is not to do uh Bluetooth{gap} or or radio waves , {vocalsound} although {disfmarker}Marketing: What do you think about uh incorporating Bluetooth or a radio uh receiver uh in theplace-holder next to the T_V_ , connected to the T_V_ ?Industrial Designer: Yeah , actually I have tMarketing: So it's in the wrong product .Industrial Designer:Yeah . Yeah , I actually {disfmarker} I figured that would be that would be rather nice , but then you'd still have the uh {disfmarker} the infrared function . So inin theory you'd actually just move the problem ,Marketing: Yeah . Yeah .Industrial Designer: but uh what I did uh think about was when you mentioned about theuh the cup-holder , is why not uh introduce a speech function like where is the remote . If somebody says , where is the remote , then it goes uh beep uh beepbeep beep or something ,User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound} Yeah .Industrial Designer: I dunno , maybe uh maybe something to look into , Idunno uh what the cost {gap} that something like that would be . But it may be uh may be something to explore . Uh I'll I'll just explain a bit of the components .Uh first you have the energy source . The energy source would be a battery , simple uh battery uh that you can find anywhere . I figured that would be best ,'cause when the battery uh stops functioning uh we could just uh use {disfmarker} you could just go out and buy a new one . So we didn't {disfmarker} and wedon't have to do all uh {disfmarker} to be too complicated about that . Uh the energy source is connected to the infrared button , but uh the infrared button uh"}

I have received apologies forabsence from Jack Sargeant, and I'm very pleased to welcome Vikki Howells, who is substituting for Jack this morning. Can I ask whether there are anydeclarations of interest from Members, please? No. Okay. Thank you. Item 2 this morning is our last evidence session on the Children (Abolition of Defence ofReasonable Punishment) (Wales) Bill, and I'm really pleased to welcome back Julie Morgan AM, Deputy Minister for Health and Social Services; Karen Cornish,who is deputy director of the children and families division; and Emma Gammon, who is the lawyer working on the Bill. So, thank you all for coming. If you'rehappy, we'll go straight into questions because we've got lots of ground that we want to cover, and the first questions are from Janet Finch-Saunders.JanetFinch-Saunders AM: Good morning. Thank you, Chair. Good morning, Deputy Minister. Of those individuals who responded to our written consultation in apersonal capacity, nearly 70 per cent do not support this Bill. We also heard a clear message from the parents we met last week who oppose this Bill that, asparents, they understand clearly the difference between child abuse and a light smack from a loving parent. How would you like to respond to that?Julie MorganAM: Thank you very much, Janet, for that question. I think I'd like to start by saying that child abuse is not the issue that the Bill is trying to address. What theBill is trying to do is prohibit all forms of physical punishment, and that is in order to protect children's rights and to ensure that children have the same protectionfrom physical punishment as adults. But I do understand that people have different views, and that's why this process has been so important—for us to hear whatyour views are and what parents' views are. I know that, often, people use different euphemisms really to make light of physical punishment. I've heardexpressions used such as a 'light smack' or a 'loving smack' or a 'tap', and really there can be different interpretations of what is a 'light smack', what is a 'lovingsmack', and that doesn't really cover the issue of the frequency of such actions being taken. But I would say that, however mild it seems to be, the United NationsCommittee on the Rights of the Child recognises that any physical punishment of children, however minor, is incompatible with their human rights, and whyshould a big person hit a little person? That's been the sort of mantra, really, that has taken me through supporting this legislation—that it just seems wrong tome that there is something in the law that could mean that there could be an excuse for that happening. I believe we shouldn't have anything in the law thatdefends the physical punishment of children, and I don't think we should be defining acceptable ways of hitting or punishing children, because I think it does senda confused message to children. It says, 'It's okay for me to hit you, but don't you hit anybody else.' I think it causes confusion. So, I'm confident that updatingthe law will make it much clearer for parents and people working with children—and, of course, I'm sure, as you'll have heard from the evidence you've taken,that people who work with children are overwhelmingly in support of this legislation, and the representative surveys that we've carried out show support for theBill's principles.Janet Finch-Saunders AM: Thank you, Deputy Minister. Last week, during the workshop, a few parents—predominantly all of them, actually—saidthat they use a gentle tap or smacking as part of a toolkit of ways to deal with challenging behaviour or, sometimes, for the safety of the child or, indeed, to carryout the parenting of a child. How do you intend to work with parents going forward, given the finite resources that social care and social services have? I knowfrom the responses we've received to the consultation that parents themselves who have to parent 24 hours a day, seven days a week, they are really, on thescale of things, very upset about this. How do you intend to try and get your message across to those parents on removing what they consider to be part of theirtoolkit when raising children? How do you intend to deal with that aspect?Julie Morgan AM: Well, first of all, I want to say, as I've said in most evidence sessions,that I completely accept that bringing up children is hard. It's very difficult; many of us have done it and we know how tough it can be. But we don't think thatthere is any place for physical punishment in bringing up children. There's a whole range of other ways that you can help parents bring up children, and adviceyou can give them of different methods to use. But, the clear message of this Bill is that we don't want any physical punishment; we don't think it's the right thingto do, and we believe that we are supported by many people in that view.Janet Finch-Saunders AM: Thank you.Lynne Neagle AM: You've got other questions,Janet.Janet Finch-Saunders AM: Okay. Oh, yes. Several consultation responses refer to statistics from Sweden, which they say show that child-on-child violenceactually increased by 1,791 per cent between 1984 and 2010, following the ban on physical punishment in 1979. What is your view on these figures and how canwe be certain that this Bill won't lead to other long-term negative outcomes in Wales?Julie Morgan AM: Well, I'm aware of the debate surrounding theinterpretation of the different statistics from Sweden. What's happened, really, in the academic research is that different academics are focused on differentfigures to support their views, and the methodological ways of doing it makes it quite difficult to have causation. I was very encouraged that a recent study of 88countries concluded that if a country prohibits corporal punishment, the result is association with less youth violence, and this is one of the largest cross-nationalanalyses of youth violence, with more than 400,000 participants. So, there is other evidence, very widespread evidence, which looks at a whole range of people,that is in contrast to the Swedish evidence. But, evidence in this field is mixed and we have considered a wide range of research and reviews, but ultimately thedecision is one that is based on our commitment to children's rights.Janet Finch-Saunders AM: Okay, thank you.Lynne Neagle AM: Do you want question 3?JanetFinch-Saunders AM: I can do it, yes. The Bill's explanatory memorandum says that 'there is no definitive evidence that \"reasonable\" physical punishment causesnegative outcomes for children'. However, we have heard from Equal Protection Network Cymru that international evidence could not be clearer and that theyfound the Wales Centre for Public Policy's report, on which the explanatory memorandum is based, very confusing and very frustrating, and that it didn't tie inwith what they knew. How would you respond to those viewpoints?Julie Morgan AM: We were very keen to get as balanced research as we possibly could, and wedidn't want to just put forward views that we thought agreed with our point of view. So, we were trying to give a balanced point of view, but we did commissionthe Wales Centre for Public Policy to do an independent literature review and we're honestly reporting to you what they said. But they did make it clear, again,which I think I've said in previous evidence sessions, that all physical punishment, under all conditions, is potentially harmful to children. And certainly, there isno peer-reviewed research that says that physically punishing a child is going to improve things, has favourable outcomes. So, I understand what EqualProtection Network Cymru are saying, because there is a lot of very strong evidence, but we're giving you the evidence that we had from the research that wecommissioned.Lynne Neagle AM: Thank you. We've got some questions now from Suzy on implementation.Suzy Davies AM: Thank you, Chair. I've just got acouple of questions on this balance between the steps that will be needed to implement this Bill and the impact that it'll actually have. You've probably heard inevidence that we've received that there are still some concerns out there about how agencies might address malicious reporting; some detail about how thepublic interest test might be applied further along the line; what's going to happen with out-of-hours provision from social services, and so on. There are still,from our perspective, quite a few things that are unknown about the effect on our public services in particular of the implementation of this Bill. Would you agreethat perhaps we should know a little bit more about that before we proceed with supporting the Bill?Julie Morgan AM: Well, it's very difficult, bringing in thislegislation that hasn't been done before. It's very difficult to gauge the impact, and we've covered that, I know, in previous discussions. But I think it's veryimportant to say that we are not creating a new offence. The Bill is removing a defence to an offence of common assault. And I think it's an interesting point tomake that, in Ireland, they introduced similar legislation through an amendment to a Bill, and had no detailed preparation for bringing in the Bill, and in factthere's no evidence that this has caused any difficulties, and no significant negative impacts or increase in workload. But in any case, we have our implementationgroup, which is going to address many of these issues. This met on 14 May. That was the first meeting. You see, I think we do have to take a balance betweenassuming this Bill is going to go through and what we can actually do. We can't presume that the Assembly will accept this Bill, so we have to be staged in whatwe do. But we had the first strategic implementation group on 14 May, and we had representatives from the police, the police and crime commissioners, theCrown Prosecution Service, the Association of Directors of Social Services Cymru, the Association of Directors of Education in Wales, the Welsh Local GovernmentAssociation, the legal profession and the third sector. They're all there, and they're all very keen to make this legislation work and to look at the implications of it.I'd just like to say how grateful I am for all those organisations giving their time and commitment. They've set up four work streams, looking at parenting adviceand support; data collection, evaluation and monitoring; operations, procedures and processes; and out-of-court disposals and diversions. These groups will betaking forward this work and will be looking at many of those issues that you've mentioned, and will also be updated on the progress of the awareness strategythat we will be bringing in. I'm really confident that the legislation will be implemented in a very practical and workable way, because we do have the commitmentof all these agencies, and there's been a huge amount of preparation done in the Welsh Government to prepare for this in a way that, I have to say, hasn't beendone in some of the other countries—as I mentioned, in Ireland. So, as much preparation as could be done is being done and has been done, but we really nowsee that the implementation group is taking forward all these issues, and obviously those agencies that are taking part in the implementation group are, on thewhole, in support of the principles of this Bill.Suzy Davies AM: Well, thank you for that, Minister, but the way I look at this is that you've already said that, if this"}

I I'll be the Project Manager . Um our agenda today is we are gonna do a little opening and then I'm gonna talk a little bitabout the project , then we'll move into acquaintance such as getting to know each other a little bit , including a tool training exercise . And then we'll move intothe project plan , do a little discussion and close , since we only have twenty five minutes . First of all our project aim . Um we are creating a new remote controlwhich we have three goals about , it needs to be original , trendy and user-friendly . I'm hoping that we can all work together to achieve all three of those . Um sowe're gonna divide us up into three {vocalsound} compa three parts . First the functional design which will be uh first we'll do individual work , come into ameeting , the conceptional design , individual work and a meeting , and then the detailed design , individual work and a meeting . So that we'll each be doing ourown ideas and then coming together and um collaborating . Okay , we're gonna get to know each other a little bit . So um , what we're gonna do is start off withum let's start off with Amina . Um Alima ,Industrial Designer: Alima .Project Manager: sorry , Alima .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} {vocalsound}ProjectManager: Um we're gonna do a little tool training , so we are gonna work with that whiteboard behind you . Um introduce yourself , um say one thing aboutyourself and then draw your favourite animal and tell us about it .Industrial Designer: Okay . Um I don't know which one of these I have to bring with me .ProjectManager: Probably both .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Right , so , I'm supposed to draw my favourite animal . I have no drawing skills whatsoever . But uhlet's see , introduce myself . My name is Alima Bucciantini . Um I'm from the state of Maine in the US .

So let's see if I can getMarketing: {vocalsound} {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: um here . I will draw alittle turtle for you all . Not necessarily 'cause it's my absolute favourite animal , but just that I think they're drawable . And you have the pretty little shell goingon . Some little eyes . Happy . There you go . That's a turtle .Marketing: Yes .Project Manager: So what are your favourite characteristics ?Industrial Designer:Um . I I like the whole having a shell thing .Project Manager: Mm .Industrial Designer: It's quite cool carry your home around where you go , um quite decorativelittle animals , they can swim , they can , they're very adaptable , they carry everything they need with them , um and they're easy to draw .Project Manager:{vocalsound} Excellent .User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound} Shall we just go around the table ?User Interface: Uh Okay . Well , myname is Iain uhProject Manager: Mm .User Interface: and I'm the User Interface Designer for the project . Um . And I'll try and draw my favourite animal.Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} No ,User Interface: I'll {disfmarker} I should leave that one on thereIndustrial Designer: you can erase the turtle ,UserInterface: shouldn't I {vocalsound} before I callously rub it off .Industrial Designer: it's alright .Project Manager: Might be nice to have them all up there at sametime .User Interface: {vocalsound} Um I'm not gonna draw it quite to scale um .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound} Is that at leastidentifiable ?Industrial Designer: Snake .Marketing: Well .Project Manager: EmIndustrial Designer: Well ,User Interface: It's a whale {vocalsound} , yes.Industrial Designer: snake ? {vocalsound} It's w {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound} Thanks .Marketing: Oh my god , it's better than what I'm gonna beable to do .User Interface: {vocalsound} Um and , yeah , the reason I like whales is 'cause uh they're {disfmarker} well , first of all they're quite intelligent umand also they're they're kind of mysterious , like we don't really know much about them or or understand how they work , how they form groups . And I just findthem interesting animals .Marketing: Take my contraptions with me . Alright , I'm Jessy . I'm from around D_C_ ish sort of in the U_S_ . And we're gonna keepthe deep sea sort of theme going on , {gap} animal . Don't really know how to draw this . Just where can I {disfmarker} Mm . Mm . Maybe if I do the water,Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: but how ? Sort of give an idea . {vocalsound} I have no idea how one would explain this . Mm maybe with somewhiskers . Briefly , it's supposed to be a seal .Project Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: You can imagine it in the water . I likethem , because they are like playful and silly sort of have a good time . Not gonna try and pretend like I can get any better than that . {vocalsound}ProjectManager: Mm 'kay . Mm 'kay ? I'm Rose and I'm Project Manager , {vocalsound} from California . Um . Hmm . {vocalsound} S {vocalsound}Industrial Designer:{vocalsound} Oh ,Marketing: It's definitely significantly harder once you are doing it .Industrial Designer: a cat .Project Manager: Um it's actually a coyote.Industrial Designer: Yeah .Project Manager: Let's see . Let's see ,Industrial Designer: Right .Marketing: {vocalsound} That's impressive .Project Manager: let'sgive it a little bit of a snout , I don't know , some teeth .Industrial Designer: That's {disfmarker}Project Manager: Yeah .Industrial Designer: That's prettyimpressive .User Interface: Cool . {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound} Oh dear . {vocalsound} Yes .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Ilive um I live right across the street from an open space in California . We have coyotes howl all the time . So I really enjoy their their singing , you they're reallybeautiful animals . Mm . {vocalsound} Okay um , moving on to slightly more serious stuff . We're gonna talk about project finances . Um we have a couple{vocalsound} we'd like to sell it for about twenty five Euro with the profit aim of um fifteen million Euro um from our sales and because this is such {disfmarker}this is for television it's a {disfmarker} we have a market range of Internet , like it's an international market range , we don't have to worry about specifics . Umin order to make a profit of this magnitude , we need to um be able to produce each one at a maximum of twelve fifty Euro . So we're selling it for twice whatwe'd like to produce it for . Okay um , just to generate a little bit of discussion about the project um , I could {disfmarker} I'd like to hear about your experiencesusing ro remote controls , um your first ideas about um creating a new r remote control , what would be the best um like you {disfmarker} what are the featuresthat you really like what are the features that you don't like , etcetera , so {disfmarker}Marketing: Um I hate when there's like four different buttons and youhave to press to actually turn on the T_V_ like you have to do one for the power of the T_V_ and then like another one to get the actual screen on and somethingelse to get it all going , I don't know . Now they keep combining all different remotes together , and I don't know if I necessarily like that 'cause I feel like you endup with multimedia overload .User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: I just wanna watch the T_V_ {vocalsound} um .Project Manager: Hmm .Marketing:{vocalsound} Always gets lost . Some sort of like device to help you find it .User Interface: I've used , I've used remote controls , for things like T_V_ and theC_D_ player and video recorder and I I guess they're they're pretty neat neat little tools uh . You don't have to get up and walk across the room to change achannel .Project Manager: Mm .User Interface: So especially if you're someone really lazy like me they they're pretty nice . Um . I find them {disfmarker} theycan be a bit annoying , especially , like you know if I'm watching T_V_ I have have to have three separate remote controls of {disfmarker} in front of me , youknow , one for the T_V_ , one for the digital box , one for m the video recorder as well . Um . And also they tend to they tend to be a bit confusing , they've gottoo many buttons on them uh too too sort of too sort of complicated when all I really wanna do is switch on and off , change the channel , change the volume.Industrial Designer: Yeah um . I agree with having too many remotes around . My dad has a whole drawer at home of remotes for various things , and I don'tknow how to work half of them um . What's important for me , I guess , is that it's easy to use and that there's not too many buttons , they are not too small ,you know you know you need to n to know what you're doing . And one thing I particularly like is if you are not um sort of moving it around to get it to work withthe infra-red .Marketing: Yeah .Industrial Designer: Um , I think there is a way around that ,User Interface: Yeah .Industrial Designer: but I know in my residenceright now the the television you sort of have to walk all around the room to get it to turn on ,Project Manager: {vocalsound} Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: so iit's just simpler just to just turn around the T_V_ itself , and I think that's {disfmarker} if we're gonna make a remote control , it should actually work for whatit's doing . So {disfmarker}Marketing: What about like batteries and things like that , like are there some remotes that don don't require like batteries or do allremotes require batteries ?Project Manager: {vocalsound} Um I would imagine all of them ,Industrial Designer: I know .Project Manager: but we could{disfmarker} but it's possible we could use like a lithium battery um that would last a lot longer than like double A_s .Industrial Designer: Yeah , something thatdoesn't {disfmarker}Marketing: Mm-hmm .Project Manager: Um like tho those are the batteries that are used in a lot of um M_P_ three players now and thatkind of thing . Um .Marketing: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: Mm .Project Manager: Um . Okay , it seems we have a little bit of a conflict over um to uhcombining all the remotes cont together versus having f five different remotes . So um like you said you don't like having all the buttons on one on one remote ,and yet you don't wanna have five remotes . So how do we work with that ?Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Yeah .User Interface: Mm .Industrial Designer:Could we get something that just has {disfmarker} No doesn't have all the buttons that you need to program the video recorder or program s other things thatI'm not very coherent about , but that just has your major buttons for {disfmarker} that work for everything , you know volume control , on , off ,ProjectManager: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: channel changing .Marketing: And maybe that spatially divides it , so it's like if you're looki if you're trying to get theT_V_ on that's , you know , like the top thing on the remote , I dunno if d be vertical or horizontal in terms of how we're gonna make it , but if it's like all the"}
+{"doc_id":"doc_144","qid":"","text":"Project Manager: {vocalsound} Alright , yeah . {gap} crack on {gap} . Okay so we'll start off with a quick overview of the minutes . I think to sum up the lastmeeting , would be to say um the requirements that we've um set out . Those are we were going to go for what seemed to be a fairly minimal design based on uha small joystick , {vocalsound} L_C_D_ and a couple of other buttons for navigation um with power being I suppose one of the main single purpose buttons . Umwe were also going to use {gap} novelty of being able to locate the remote control again via a small transmitter with any luck , the idea to try and separate usand also because of the minimal design um looks like we'll be able to be fairly adventurous in the actual physical shape of our remote control with any luck . Umthat pretty much sums up the last one . So we'll just crack on , um like to maybe start with the Industrial Designer if it's possible .Industrial Designer:{vocalsound} Uh uh okay .Project Manager: Um uh the con today is the concep today .Industrial Designer: I'll just {disfmarker}Project Manager: This uh meetingis the conceptual design phase and is um {disfmarker} Sorry about this . {gap} . And is to cover things like um what the parts might be made of , um , can we uhoutsource these from elsewhere , um will we have to construct any items ourselves ?Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Uh I have a presentation {gap} I justsaved it in the uh the folder .Project Manager: Yeah , okay well I'll just uh I'll load it up then . Um {vocalsound} . Which one do yIndustrial Designer: Uh .ProjectManager: Oh , interface concept ?User Interface: Yeah , that's me .Project Manager: That's you . We've got trend watching , that's you .Industrial Designer: It'suh {disfmarker} Components design .Project Manager: Components design .Industrial Designer: {gap} .Project Manager: Okay .Industrial Designer: Alright .{vocalsound} So {disfmarker} {vocalsound} Uh . The case uh le that's what I wrote first of all , could be plastic our plastic . Uh but later on {gap} we found outthat um it can be rubber as well , or titanium or even wood . So uh we decide what it's gonna be . Probably plastic . Uh we need the infra-red transmitter . Getthat off the shelf . Uh joystick we'll probably if we're gonna use it , um could be plastic w or rubber even as well . Um {vocalsound} if you go on to the next slide .Uh {disfmarker} {vocalsound} If you go on to f uh findings , it's like two or three slides down .Project Manager: Okay .Industrial Designer: Right . So , this iswhat I found we can use . Uh three different types of batteries . Um can either use a hand dynamo , or the kinetic type ones , you know that they use in watches ,or else uh a solar powered one .Project Manager: Okay . Now ,Industrial Designer: Um .Project Manager: the kinetic one , we've {disfmarker} 'cause that's theones where like you {disfmarker} the movement causes it .Marketing: Cost is {disfmarker} Yeah .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Yeah .Project Manager: Umthe bat uh the battery for a a watch wouldn't require a lot of power , would be my one query .User Interface: Mm .Project Manager: Is a kinetic one going to beable to supply enough power ?User Interface: There's also a watch moves around a great deal more .Project Manager: Do you think ?Industrial Designer: Uh.Marketing: {vocalsound} Yeah .Project Manager: WIndustrial Designer: Yeah , I don't think it would . Um . And solar cells , I dunno about that .Marketing: {gap}yeah .Industrial Designer: Uh . We should probably just use conventional batteries . Um , just like in usual remote controls .Project Manager: Which I suppose aswell would allow us to go off the shelf again , you'd say ?Industrial Designer: Um . Yeah . Um . {vocalsound} And these are three different types of {disfmarker}or two different types {disfmarker} three different types of shapes you can have . Uh one is a flat one , and then more original ones are single curved one or onewith a double curved . Um {vocalsound} the materials are tha there as you can see , but uh you can't have a titanium one for a double curved ,Project Manager:{vocalsound}Marketing: Titanium , the really strong metal , titanium ?Industrial Designer: uh which would be {disfmarker} Yeah ,Marketing: Is it not also it'sexpensive ?Industrial Designer: and light . Uh , i think so as well , yeah .Project Manager: Um . Um .Industrial Designer: They make mountain bikes out of that ,don't they . So it's really light as well .Project Manager: Curious . Um , I don't know if you'd be able to off the top of your head or not , the single curved anddouble curved , would you be able to give an example ?Industrial Designer: Um . {vocalsound} T yeah .Project Manager: Um could you maybe draw something ?I you don't doesn't have to be perfect , it's just 'cause I'm not quite sure if I understand the difference between the two .Industrial Designer: Uh . Well for acurved , well I was thinking to {disfmarker} f for to sit in your {disfmarker} the palm of your hand . Uh maybe like this , with the uh joy pad here . Joystick here .And maybe um an okay button around here , so that the thumb can uh use it quite easily . Um I don't exactly {vocalsound} {disfmarker} Double curved . Itprobably means {disfmarker} this is probably double curved . Uh whereas a single curved would be like that . I guess . Or not necessarily .Project Manager: So itmight literally just be {disfmarker}Marketing: Two curves {gap} .Project Manager: okay .Industrial Designer: Yeah like that . Whereas this is two curves . Um{vocalsound} so I guess that's what they mean by uh double curve .Project Manager: Alright .Industrial Designer: Um which obviously {disfmarker} it looksbetter than the single curve , but uh you can't have it in titanium , which is uh a nice material . {vocalsound} UhProject Manager: Mm .Industrial Designer: andfor the buttons , um it can have the scroll wheel which they use in mouses for com P_C_s . Uh but um it requires a more expensive chip to use , and if you wannause L_C_D_ it's even more expensive . So you have to decide , there's trade-offs there . Um {vocalsound} if you want the buttons to be {disfmarker} oh yeah , ifyou have a double curve uh control and it's rubber , then you have these rubber buttons as well . But {vocalsound} you're gonna ha I reckon you're gonna haveto have uh key a number keypad anyway for the amount of channels these days . You wouldn't want to just have to scroll through all the channels to get to theone you want . You wanna enter just the number of it , if you know it . So um I reckon we're gonna have to have a number keypad anyway . Do you think?Project Manager: Okay , that was definitely something we can talk about . Um so you've got a little bit about the the chip that we might require as well?Industrial Designer: Yeah . So , depends where gonna spend the money if you want the f fancy L_C_D_ display .Project Manager: Um , do you have any idea sofar , like when we're saying that we'd need an advanced chip for an L_C_D_ , does that in shoot the cost up by a drastic amount ? Or ?Marketing: Need anadvanced chip for the L_C_D_ . Is that {disfmarker} did I {disfmarker}Project Manager: Well I think compared to say just pressing {gap} buttons .IndustrialDesigner: Yep .Marketing: Advanced , like three eight six advance .Project Manager: {gap} if you press a button that sends a certain transmission through theinfra-red , whereas I think if we're controlling the L_C_D_ we definitely require a much more powerful chip . Just compared to the chip you would use for pushingbuttons I think is the the point being made .Marketing: Okay . Okay , sure .User Interface: Mm .Project Manager: If I've not over-stepped . Yeah ?IndustrialDesigner: Yeah iProject Manager: Okay , um should I go on , or go back ?Industrial Designer: Um {disfmarker} {vocalsound}Marketing: Mm , if we only havetwelve Pounds fifty , twelve Euros , not even twelve Pounds . Twelve Euros , what's that , like eight pounds or something like that , nine Pounds ?ProjectManager: Well we'd also be relying on the um the bulk buying in producement and such . I assume .Marketing: Okay , that's good point .Project Manager: Wehave to look into the costs of those . So , sorry .Industrial Designer: Uh the previous slides just explain what's in the internal components of the uh remotecontrol . If you go to the one before that uh so it just says what it does , translate the key press into an infra-red signal and this is received by the T_V_ . Uh thechip just needs to detect the signal or detect the key press and then uh it'll send it to the tr the amplifier .Project Manager: Okay .Industrial Designer: And uhthen the next slide just shows how the uh copper wires uh interact with the buttons , the rubber buttons , uh to uh get sent to the chip . So that's just how thecontrol works inside . Um we have to decide on what buttons we're gonna use .Project Manager: Okay .Industrial Designer: {gap} .Project Manager: Um . {gap} .So in the information that you've been supplied , how feasible would you say that the idea of using an L_C_D_ looks ?Industrial Designer: Um {disfmarker} Ithink we can do it if {vocalsound} uh we use conventional batteries and not have solar cells or kinetic . Um and then maybe use single curved uh case . Becausewe might need it to be curved for the uh thumb to use the joyst joystick easily . Um and then you'll need the advanced chip obviously for the L_C_D_ .ProjectManager: Um I mean that sounds like quite a good requirement to me . Um conventional battery would seem to make sense .User Interface: Mm-hmm .ProjectManager: Um I'm not sure if there's any cost differences between single and double curved and I'm {disfmarker} I don't know about anybody else , but plastic orrubber as a traditional form of casing would seem to be a good way forward ? {gap} .User Interface: Mm . Um I'm actually gonna be bold and go oo go straightfor rubber um for reasons I'll go into uh in more detail .Project Manager: Okay .Marketing: I also have a preference for rubber .Project Manager: Okay , well um{disfmarker}Marketing: Based on my research .Project Manager: Yeah , well will we move on to user interface , and {disfmarker}User Interface: {gap} .ProjectManager: yeah ? Um sorry ,User Interface: Mm .Project Manager: as long as {disfmarker} were you ? Yeah . Okay .Industrial Designer: Yep I'm finished .ProjectManager: Um {gap} and d d d interface concept .User Interface: Yep . Now I'm gonna have to work between the uh the slides and the uh {vocalsound} and thewhite boardProject Manager: Yeah .User Interface: 'cause I actually I have some fairly concrete things this time . Uh um I was given a an H_T_M_L_ file givingum various ideas from uh from other previous remote control designs , and pretty much decided to just dump them all . I wasn't very impressed by them andthey didn't seem to re uh nothing I saw seemed to meet the sorts of design specifications that we're going for today . Um so what I ra rather than looking at otherremotes , uh ra oomp be better to simply look at the human hand . Um and try and f um and try and figure out a way of laying out the elements we've alreadydecided on , um so that if r a if {vocalsound} so that the finger is e each finger or thumb is wherever it needs to be already . Um so uh next slide , if you please .Um and what we've basically decided on was the the um the joy uh the joystick , two function buttons and the L_C_D_ , just keep it paired down to the absolute"}

These are the {disfmarker}PhD E: Is the , um {disfmarker} the CVS mechanism working {pause} well ?PhD A: Yeah .PhD E: Are {disfmarker} arepeople , uh , up at OGI grabbing code uh , via that ?PhD D: Uh , I don't think {disfmarker} I don't think {disfmarker}PhD E: Or {disfmarker} ?PhD A: I don'tknow if they use it , but .PhD D: Yeah , I I don't think anybody up there is like {pause} working on it right now .PhD E: Uh - huh . Mmm .Professor B: I think itmore likely that what it means is that when Sunil is up there {vocalsound} he will grab it .PhD D: Yeah . Yeah . So right now nobody 's working on Aurora there.PhD E: Yeah .Professor B: They 're {disfmarker} Yeah . They 're working on a different task .PhD E: I see . I see .PhD D: Yeah .PhD E: OK .Professor B: But what'll happen is {disfmarker} is he 'll go back up there and , uh , Pratibha will come back from {disfmarker} from , uh , the east coast . Uh .PhD E: Mm - hmm.Professor B: And , uh {disfmarker} and {disfmarker} and I guess actually , uh , after Eurospeech for a little bit , uh , he 'll go up there too . So , actuallyeverybody {vocalsound} who 's working on it {comment} will be up there for at least a little while . So they 'll remotely access it {vocalsound} from there .PhDE: So has {disfmarker} Has anybody tried remotely accessing the CVS using , uh , uh , SSH ?Professor B: Yeah . PhD A: Um , I don't know if Hari did that or{disfmarker} You dPhD D: I {comment} can actually do it today . I mean , I can just log into {disfmarker}PhD E: Have you tried it yet ?PhD D: No , I didn't . So II 'll try it today .PhD E: OK .Professor B: Good idea .PhD A: Actually I {disfmarker} I tried wh while {disfmarker} when I installed the {pause} repository , I triedfrom Belgium .Professor B: Yeah .PhD D: Yeah .PhD A: I logged in there and I tried {pause} to import {disfmarker}PhD E: Yeah ? It worked good ?PhD A: Yeah ,it works .PhD E: Oh , good !PhD A: But it 's {disfmarker} So , right now it 's the mechanism with SSH .PhD D: Oh .PhD E: Great !PhD A: I don't {pause} s I didn'tset up {disfmarker} You can also set up a CVS server {pause} on a new port . It 's like well {pause} uh , a main server , or d You can do a CVS server .PhD E:Yeah . Right . Then that 's using the CVS password mechanism and all that ,PhD A: But . Yeah , right .PhD E: right ?PhD A: But I didn't do that because I was notsure about {pause} security problems . I {disfmarker} I would have to {disfmarker}PhD E: So w when you came in from Belgian {disfmarker} {comment}Belgium , using SSH , uh , was it asking you for your own {pause} password into ICSI ? So if yo you can only do that if you have an account at ICSI ?PhD A:Right . Yeah .PhD E: OK .PhD A: Yeah .PhD E: Cuz there is an {disfmarker} a way to set up anonymous CVS right ?PhD A: Yeah , you ha in this way you ca youhave to set up a CVS server but then , yeah , you can access it .PhD E: So that {disfmarker} Oh , OK .PhD A: you {disfmarker} you can set up priorities .PhD E:So the anonymous mechanism {disfmarker}PhD A: You can access them and mostly if you {disfmarker} if y the set the server is set up like this .PhD E: OK .Because a lot of the open source stuff works with anonymous CVS and I 'm just wondering {disfmarker} Uh , I mean , for our transcripts we may want to do that.PhD A: Mm - hmm .Professor B: Yeah .PhD E: Uh .Professor B: Yeah , for this stuff I don't think we 're {pause} quite up to that . I mean , we 're still so much indevelopment .PhD E: Mm - hmm . Yeah ,Professor B: We want to have just the insiders .PhD E: yeah , yeah . Oh , I wasn't suggesting for this . I 'm {pause}thinking of the Meeting Recorder {comment} stuffProfessor B: Yeah .PhD E: but . Yeah . OK . Cool .Professor B: Yeah . So , uh {disfmarker}PhD E: What 's new?Professor B: Well , I mean , I think maybe the thing to me might be {disfmarker} I me I 'm sure you 've just been working on {disfmarker} on , uh , details ofthat since the meeting , right ? And so {disfmarker}PhD A: Mmm , since the meeting , well , I {disfmarker} I 've been {disfmarker} I 've been train training anew VAD and a new {pause} feature net .Professor B: That was {disfmarker} that was Tuesday . OK .PhD A: So they should be ready . Um .Professor B: But Iguess maybe the thing {disfmarker} since you weren't {disfmarker} yo you guys weren't at that {disfmarker} that meeting , might be just {disfmarker} just to ,um , sort of recap , uh , the {disfmarker} the conclusions of the meeting .PhD A: Mm - hmm .PhD E: Oh , great .Professor B: So .PhD E: You 're talking about themeeting with Hynek ?Professor B: Yeah . Cuz that was sort of , uh {disfmarker} we {disfmarker} we 'd sort of been working up to that , that {disfmarker} that ,uh , he would come here this week and {disfmarker} and we would sort of {disfmarker}PhD E: Uh - huh .Professor B: Since he 's going out of town like now , andI 'm going out town in a couple weeks , uh , and time is marching , sort of , given all the mu many wonderful things we could be working on , what {disfmarker}what will we actually focus on ?PhD E: Mm - hmm .Professor B: And , uh {disfmarker} and what do we freeze ? And , you know , what do we {disfmarker} ? So ,um . I mean , this {pause} software that these guys created was certainly a {disfmarker} a key part . So then there 's something central and there aren't at leasta bunch of different versions going off in {disfmarker} in ways that {pause} differ {pause} trivially . Uh , um , and , um ,PhD E: Yeah . That 's {disfmarker} that's nice .Professor B: and then within that , I guess the idea was to freeze a certain set of options for now , to run it , uh , a particular way , and decide on whatthings are gonna be experimented with , as opposed to just experimenting with everything . So keep a certain set of things constant . So , um . Uh , maybedescribe roughly what {disfmarker} what we are keeping constant for now , or {disfmarker} ?PhD A: Yeah . Well . So we 've been working like six weeks on{disfmarker} on the noise compensation and we end up with something that seems reasonable . Um .PhD E: Are you gonna use {disfmarker} which of the twotechniques ?PhD A: So finally it 's {disfmarker} it 's , um , Wiener filtering on FFT bins . And it uses , uh , two steps , smoothing of the transfer function , the firststep , that 's along time , which use recursion . And {vocalsound} after this step there is a further smoothing along frequency , which use a sliding window oftwenty FFT bins . Mmm . And , uh {disfmarker}PhD E: So this is on the {disfmarker} uh , before any mel scaling has been done ?PhD A: Yeah , yeah .PhD E: Thisis {disfmarker}PhD A: It was {disfmarker}Professor B: This {disfmarker} this smoothing is done on the estimate , um , of what you 're going to subtract ? Or onthe thing that has already had something subtracted ?PhD A: Yeah . Uh , {vocalsound} it 's on the transfer function . So {disfmarker}Professor B: Oh , it 's on thetransfer function for the Wiener filter .PhD A: Yeah .Professor B: Yeah , OK .PhD A: Yeah , so basically we tried {vocalsound} different configuration within thisidea . We tried u u applying this on mel bands , having spectral subtraction instead of wiener filtering . Um . Well , finally we end up with {pause} thisconfiguration that works , uh , quite well . So we are going to fix this for the moment and work on the other aspects of {vocalsound} the whole system .PhD E:Mm - hmm .PhD A: So {disfmarker}Professor B: Actually , let me int eh , Dave isn't here to talk about it , but let me just interject . This module , in principle , i Imean , you would know whether it 's {vocalsound} true in fact , is somewhat independent from the rest of it . I mean , because you {disfmarker} you re -synthesize speech , right ?PhD A: Mm - hmm .Professor B: So , um . Uh , well you don't {disfmarker} I guess you don't re - synthesize speech , but you could{disfmarker}PhD A: We {disfmarker} we do not foProfessor B: Uh , but you could .PhD A: Well {disfmarker} well , we do , but we don't {disfmarker} don't re -synthesize . In {disfmarker} in the program we don't re - synthesize and then re - analyze once again . We just use the clean FFT bins .Professor B: But you havea re - synthesized thing that you {disfmarker} that 's an {disfmarker} an option here .PhD A: This is an option that {disfmarker} then you can {disfmarker} Yeah.Professor B: Yeah , I gu I guess my point is that , um , i in some of the work he 's doing in reverberation , one of the things that we 're finding is that , uh , it 's{disfmarker} it 's {disfmarker} for the {disfmarker} for an artificial situation , we can just deal with the reverberation and his techniques work really well . Butfor the real situation uh , problem is , is that you don't just have reverberation , you have reverberation in noise . And if you don't include that in the model , itdoesn't work very well . So in fact it might be a very nice thing to do , to just take the noise removal part of it and put that in front of what he 's looking at . And ,uh , generate new files or whatever , and {disfmarker} and , uh , uh {disfmarker} and then do the reverberation part .PhD A: Mm - hmm .Professor B: So it 's{disfmarker}PhD D: Mmm .Professor B: Anyway .PhD E: So Dave hasn't {pause} tried that yet ?Professor B: No , no . He 's {disfmarker} I mean , ePhD E: Iguess he 's busy with {disfmarker}Professor B: Yeah , prelims , right .Grad C: Pre - prelim hell .Professor B: Yeah .PhD E: Yeah .Professor B: So .PhD E: Yeah.Professor B: Uh , but {disfmarker} but , you know , that 'll {disfmarker} uh , it 's clear that we , uh {disfmarker} we are not {disfmarker} with the real case thatwe 're looking at , we can't just look at reverberation in isolation because the interaction between that and noise is {disfmarker} is considerable . And that 's Imean , in the past we 've looked at , uh , and this is hard enough , the interaction between channel effects and {disfmarker} and , uh {disfmarker} and additivenoise , uh , so convolutional effects and {disfmarker} and additive effects . And that 's hard enough . I mean , I don't think we really {disfmarker} I mean , we 'retrying to deal with that . In a sense that 's what we 're trying to deal with in this Aurora task . And we have , uh , the , uh , uh , LDA stuff that in principle is doingsomething about convolutional effects . And we have the noise suppression that 's doing something about noise . Uh , even that 's hard enough . And{disfmarker} and the on - line normalization as well , in that s category . i i There 's all these interactions between these two and that 's part of why these guys"}

So , uh {pause} I had asked actually anybody who had any ideas for an agenda {pause} to send it to me andno one did . So ,Grad H: So we all forgot .Professor D: Uh ,Postdoc F: From last time I wanted to {disfmarker} Uh {pause} {pause} The {disfmarker} An iss uh{pause} one topic from last time .Professor D: Right , s OK , so one item for an agenda is uh {pause} Jane has some uh {vocalsound} uh some research to talkabout , research issues . Um {pause} and {pause} Uh , Adam has some short research issues .Grad H: And I have some {pause} short research issues .ProfessorD: Um , I have a {pause} list of things that I think were done over the last three months I was supposed to {vocalsound} {vocalsound} send off , uh {pause}and , um {pause} I {disfmarker} I sent a note about it to uh {disfmarker} to Adam and Jane but I think I 'll just run through it {pause} also and see if someonethinks it 's inaccurate or {pause} uh insufficient .PhD A: A list that you have to send off to who ?Professor D: Uh , to uh uh , IBM .PhD A: Oh .Professor D: OK .They 're , you know {disfmarker}PhD E: Professor D: So . Um , So , uh {pause} so , I 'll go through that . Um , {pause} And , Anything else ? {pause} anyonewants to talk about ?PhD A: What about the , um {disfmarker} your trip , yesterday ?Professor D: No . OK . Um . Sort of off - topic I guess .PhD A: Oh , OK.Professor D: Cuz that 's {pause} Cuz that was all {disfmarker} all about the , uh {disfmarker} I {disfmarker} I {disfmarker} I can chat with you about that{pause} off - line . That 's another thing . Um , And , Anything else ? Nothing else ? Uh , there 's a {disfmarker} I mean , there is a {disfmarker} {pause} a , um{pause} uh {pause} telephone call tomorrow , {pause} which will be a conference call {pause} that some of us are involved in {pause} for uh a possibleproposal . Um , we 'll talk {disfmarker} we 'll talk about it next week if {disfmarker} if something {disfmarker}Grad H: Do you want me to {pause} be there forthat ? I noticed you C C ' ed me , but I wasn't actually a recipient . I didn't quite know what to make of that .Professor D: Uh Well , we 'll talk {disfmarker} talkabout that after our meeting . OK .Grad H: OK .Professor D: Uh , OK . So it sounds like the {disfmarker} the three main things that we have to talk about are , uhthis list , uh Jane and {disfmarker} Jane and Adam have some research items , and , other than that , anything , {pause} as usual , {pause} anything goesbeyond that . OK , uh , Jane , since {disfmarker} since you were sort of cut off last time why don't we start with yours , make sure we get to it .Postdoc F: OK , it's {disfmarker} it 's very {pause} eh {disfmarker} it 's {pause} very brief , I mean {disfmarker} just let me {disfmarker} just hand these out . Oops .Grad H: Isthis the same as the email or different ?PhD C: Thanks .Postdoc F: It 's slightly different . I {disfmarker} {pause} basically the same .Grad H: OK .PhD A: Sameidea ?Postdoc F: But , same idea . So , if you 've looked at this you 've seen it before , so {pause} Basically , {vocalsound} um {pause} as you know , uh{pause} part of the encoding {pause} includes a mark that indicates {pause} an overlap . It 's not indicated {pause} with , um {pause} uh , tight precision , it 'sjust indicated that {disfmarker} OK , so , It 's indicated to {disfmarker} to {disfmarker} so the people know {pause} what parts of sp which {disfmarker} whichstretches of speech were in the clear , versus being overlapped by others . So , I {pause} used this mark and , um {pause} and , uh {pause} uh , {pause}divided the {disfmarker} I wrote a script {pause} which divides things into individual minutes , {pause} of which we ended up with forty {pause} five , and alittle bit . And , uh {pause} you know , minute zero , of course , is the first minute up to {pause} sixty seconds .PhD C: OK .Postdoc F: And , um {pause} Whatyou can see is the number of overlaps {pause} and then {pause} to the right , {pause} whether they involve two speakers , three speakers , or more than threespeakers . And , {pause} um {pause} and , what I was looking for sp sp specifically was the question of {pause} whether they 're distributed evenly throughoutor whether they 're {pause} bursts of them . Um . And {pause} it looked to me as though {disfmarker} uh , you know {disfmarker} y this is just {disfmarker}{pause} eh {disfmarker} eh , this would {disfmarker} this is not statistically {pause} verified , {pause} but it {pause} did look to me as though there are burststhroughout , rather than being {pause} localized to a particular region . The part down there , where there 's the maximum number of {disfmarker} {pause} of ,um {pause} overlaps is an area where we were discussing {pause} {vocalsound} whether or not it would be useful to indi to s to {pause} code {pause} stress ,{pause} uh , sentence stress {pause} as possible indication of , uh {pause} information retrieval . So it 's like , {pause} you know , rather , {pause} livelydiscussion there .Professor D: What was {disfmarker} what 's the {disfmarker} the parenthesized stuff {pause} that says , like {disfmarker} e the first one thatsays six overlaps and then two point eight ?Postdoc F: Oh , th {vocalsound} {pause} That 's the per cent .Professor D: Mmm .Postdoc F: So , six is , uh {pause}two point eight percent {pause} of the total number of overlaps in the {pause} session .PhD E: Mm - hmm .Professor D: Ah .PhD C: Mm - hmm .Postdoc F: Atthe very end , this is when people were , {pause} you know , packing up to go basically , there 's {pause} this final stuff , I think we {disfmarker} {pause} Idon't remember where the digits {pause} fell . I 'd have to look at that . But {pause} the final three there are no overlaps at all . And {pause} couple times there{pause} are not .PhD E: Mm - hmm .Postdoc F: So , i it seems like it goes through bursts {pause} but , um {pause} that 's kind of it .PhD E: Mm - hmm .PostdocF: Now , {pause} Another question is {pause} is there {disfmarker} are there {pause} individual differences in whether you 're likely to be overlapped with or tooverlap with others . And , again {pause} I want to emphasize this is just one {pause} particular {pause} um {disfmarker} {pause} one particular meeting , andalso there 's been no statistical testing of it all , but {pause} I , um {pause} I took the coding of {pause} the {disfmarker} I , you know , my {disfmarker} I hadthis script {pause} figure out , um {pause} who {pause} was the first speaker , who was the second speaker involved in a two - person overlap , I didn't look atthe ones involving three or more . And , um {pause} {pause} this is how it breaks down in the individual cells of {pause} who tended to be overlapping mostoften with who {disfmarker} who else , and {pause} if you look at the marginal totals , which is the ones on the right side and across the bottom , you get{pause} the totals for an individual . So , {vocalsound} um {pause} If you {pause} look at the bottom , those are the , um {pause} numbers of overlaps inwhich {pause} um {pause} Adam was involved as the person doing the overlapping and if you look {disfmarker} I 'm sorry , but you 're o alphabetical , that 'swhy I 'm choosing you And then if you look across the right , {pause} then {pause} that 's where he was the {pause} person who was the sp first speaker in thepair {pause} and got overlap overlapped with by somebody .PhD A: Hmm !PhD E: Mm - hmm .Postdoc F: And , {pause} then if you look down in the summarytable , {pause} then you see that , um {pause} th they 're differences in {pause} whether a person got overlapped with or {pause} overlapped by .Grad H: Isthis uh {pause} just raw counts or is it {disfmarker}Postdoc F: Raw counts .Grad H: So it would be interesting to see how much each person spoke .PhD B: Mm -hmm .PhD C: Yeah .PhD E: Yeah {vocalsound} YeahPostdoc F: Yes , very true {disfmarker} very trueGrad H: Normalized to how much {disfmarker}Postdoc F: itwould be good to normalize with respect to that . Now on the table I did {pause} take one step toward , uh {pause} away from the raw frequencies by putting ,{pause} uh {pause} percentages . So that the percentage of time {pause} of the {disfmarker} of the times that a person spoke , {pause} what percentage{pause} eh , w so . Of the times a person spoke and furthermore was involved in a two two - person overlap , {vocalsound} {vocalsound} what percentage ofthe time were they the overlapper and what percent of the time were they th the overlappee ? And there , it looks like you see some differences , um , {pause}that some people tend to be overlapped {pause} with more often than they 're overlapped , but , of course , uh i e {vocalsound} this is just one meeting ,{pause} uh {pause} there 's no statistical testing involved , and that would be {pause} required for a {disfmarker} for a finding {pause} of {pause} any{pause} kind of {pause} scientific {pause} reliability .Professor D: S so , i it would be statistically incorrect to conclude from this that Adam talked too much orsomething .Grad H: No {disfmarker} no actually , that would be actually statistically correct ,Professor D: Yeah , yeah .Postdoc F: No , no , no .PhD E: Yeah ,yeah . Yeah , yeah .Grad H: butPostdoc F: Yeah , that 's right .Professor D: Yeah . Excuse me .Postdoc F: That 's right . And I 'm {pause} you know , I 'm{disfmarker} I don't see a point of singling people out ,Professor D: B I {disfmarker} I {disfmarker} I rather enjoyed it , but {disfmarker} but thisPostdoc F: now, this is a case where obviously {disfmarker}PhD A: But the numbers speak for themselves .PhD E: He 's {disfmarker} Yeah , yeah , yeah .Postdoc F: Well ,{vocalsound} you know , it 's like {disfmarker} I 'm not {disfmarker} I 'm not saying on the tape who did {pause} better or worseGrad H: Yes , that 's right , soyou don't nee OK .Professor D: Sure .Postdoc F: because {pause} I don't think that it 's {disfmarker} I {pause} you know , and {disfmarker} and th here 's acase where of course , human subjects people would say be sure that you anonymize the results , {pause} and {disfmarker} and , so , might as well do this.Professor D: Yeah .Grad H: Yeah , when {disfmarker} this is what {disfmarker} This is actually {disfmarker} when Jane sent this email first , is what caused me"}
+{"doc_id":"doc_147","qid":"","text":"Project Manager: Alright ? Alright . Thank you for coming to this third meeting of the uh uh design group . Um I think we uh made some definite progress at thelast one um and come up with some interesting uh uh w suggestions for our our new remote control . Um I'll again very quickly uh just present some notes ofthat meeting . Um {vocalsound} the the the problem with existing remote controls , we felt , was that they're ugly um and that people are prepared to pay apremium for something better . Um they've got lots of buttons on them that uh people don't use and find difficult to learn . Um and people lose them . And{vocalsound} We we thought that f for our our new uh uh remote control that everybody will want to rush out and buy , um {vocalsound} that we're{disfmarker} {vocalsound} we should look at speech recognition rather than r rather than buttons , and that if we have any buttons they should be very few ofthem and only for those functions that are actually identified that that people use . That {disfmarker} um {vocalsound} we want to go for uh a long lastingbattery that we gua we guarantee for the life of the uh uh the product and a shape that will be instantly recognisable , A_ um as uh a trendy remote control , andand B_ as uh a Real Reaction product . So that w uh when people are uh happy with that , they will they will want to buy uh everything else from us . Uh{disfmarker} {vocalsound} Okay . So again um , I'll {disfmarker} we'll have the three three presentations from the the the three of you and then uh we'll we'llmake a a final a final uh decision . Um and the the decisions that we need to to make today , finally , are um what energy source we want to use , whether i it ispractical to use uh um a a a long lasting one . And uh I I think our discussion was around the fact that uh if we're gonna go for uh a long lasting power supply ,then basically it's uh sealed for life and uh if anybody does manage to run one down , we'll we'll give them another one . And uh it it'll be uh , you know ,prominently displayed as part of the th the advertising literature that it's um um , you know , for life , guaranteed for life . Um {vocalsound} now the the theinternal chip um {disfmarker} and uh this is where I need uh uh Kate's expert adviceIndustrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: and given that{vocalsound} th this has to to go to market as quickly as possible um d d do we go for a custom designed chip ? Or or do we buy one off the shelf and andprogramme it ourselves ? Uh I mean I'm I'm I'm n not an expert on these things , but presumably , there must be loads of 'em already on the market that we canmodify .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: But uh that that's uh that's your area of expertise . And then the uh , you know , the the overalldesign of the case uh is is is Kendra's field and uhUser Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound} we we had somediscussions last time as as to uh how we might go forward and we'll we'll finalise those uh da today . Um and thi this is all linked in with the the the user interface, whether we p um {vocalsound} go for voice , buttons , or or a bit of both . Uh and then uh , you know , f for the next meeting Kate will be looking at the the thes the look , feel and design , Kendra the uh ho how the the user actually uses it and and Andrew of course the the product evaluation . And uh Kate and Kendrawill be producing a a model for us to uh to look at .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Uh so , if if we can have thethe three presentations again please , and uh um p perhaps you'd like to start uh k .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Okay . Um {disfmarker}Project Manager:Kate . Oh I'm sorry , oh sorry .Industrial Designer: Um p there we go .Project Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} 'Kay , I'll just be talkingabout the components design . And {disfmarker} {vocalsound} Okay , basically I just uh looked at what exactly do remotes do . Uh basically they wait for you topress a key or give a voice command and then this is translated uh into uh light signals which are then seen by the T_V_ . Uh the materials we're gonna need tolook at {disfmarker} uh the two big ones are the integrated circuit chip and the battery and the in integrated circuit chip uh works in conjunction with a a diodetransistor or resonator , uh two more resistors and a capacitor and the battery works in conjunction with a resistor and a capacitor . Um . {vocalsound} Uhbasically what happens is you'll press a number or give a voice command and this creates a a connection within the the remote that allows the chip {disfmarker}the chip then senses this connection and produces a signal in a Morse code format . This signal's sent to the transistor which amplifies it and then sends it on tothe light emitting diode and uh {disfmarker} which is then trai changed into a infrared light which is sent to the T_V_ and sort of seen by the T_V_ and which uhchanges the channels . {vocalsound} Um . Oh . {vocalsound} Uh cool . {vocalsound} Uh so as for how we should end up uh using this in our remote uh t coupleof main questions are the buttons . Uh y the fewer buttons you have , I guess the fewer internal connections and internal codes you're gonna need . Um howeveruh to n not have buttons or to use a voice commands instead of buttons might make these connections more difficult and uh raise the production cost . That'ssomething we should think about . Also we have to work within the company constraints , and the company has informed me via email that uh they're experts atpushbuttons and that seems to be the most uh cost-effective way of producing it . Um also with battery connections the company has some limits on the batterieswe can use , so I was thinking perhaps a combination of solar cells with a back-up basic battery and somehow between the combination of that two we might beable to come up with something that uh will last the the lifetime or the five to ten years and we could still keep that original idea . {vocalsound} Um we also needto look at the chips , uh v custom-designed versus off the shelf , and the custom-designed will give us much more flexibility and enable us to incorporate thevoice function that we all uh seem to have agreed upon . Um , however that's gonna cost more , but uh the off the shelf is gonna be uh cheaper and it's gonna be{disfmarker} allow us to produce it quicker and get out there faster , but it's going to be less flexible with the features , especially things like uh voice activation ,which haven't really been used much on remotes , so there's not really chips out there that would be easy to uh to convert ,Project Manager: {vocalsound} Okay,Industrial Designer: so if we were uh definitely gonna go with the the voice option we'd probably have to design um our own chip . {vocalsound} And that prettymuch sums it up .Project Manager: so how um {disfmarker} sorry , can you uh just put that one back up again , please ? Um .Industrial Designer: Mm . Oh yep ,sorry . {vocalsound} Yep .Project Manager: Uh d d d {vocalsound} okay , I mean uh inevitably a b a custom design chip is gonna be more expensive . Do we dowe know uh by how much ?Industrial Designer: Mm . {vocalsound} Um I don't actually have any price information , no . {vocalsound}Project Manager: And anddo we know how long it'll take to uh develop a a custom chip .Industrial Designer: Um it {disfmarker} a lot longer than an off the shelf chip . Oh w yeah , we did{disfmarker} the the problem is the the the voice technology is not really highly developed ,Project Manager: Right ,Industrial Designer: it's sort of still still in anex experimental form ,Project Manager: okay .Industrial Designer: uh so it would uh {disfmarker} it's hard to predict the time . {vocalsound}Project Manager:Right , I think we need to make a a decision here . Uh given that the company wants this on the market quickly and cheaply ,Industrial Designer: Mm .ProjectManager: that would appear to uh effectively constrain us to an existing chip and thus therefore conventional button technology . Um uh now before we go roundeverybody else , does anybody um h have any have anyti ha anything to say about that ?User Interface: I {disfmarker} I just have a question about that . Umdoes it make a difference if there are just a few commands , for example if you um can pre-programme in like numbers one through ten and pre-programme say ,you know , nine channels and then just use the voice recognition to say channel one and then you've programmed in say B_B_C_ four as your channel one , asyour favourite , it's like to have a certain number of favourites umIndustrial Designer: W just to to incorporate the voice activation in it is is sorta the trick .UserInterface: and that wIndustrial Designer: Once you've got the whole voice chip in there , then it's pretty much the the world {disfmarker} the the sky is your limit,User Interface: Okay . Then it doesn't matter . Okay .Industrial Designer: but to actually {disfmarker} the the big step is to actually get the voice activationchips in there and working .User Interface: Okay .Project Manager: Cause uh I {vocalsound} must say I find it slightly surprising given that , you know , mobilephones incorporate voice activated dialling . So uh um I meanUser Interface: Yeah .Project Manager: I d d for slightly different {disfmarker} well no , I mean , it'sif you you {disfmarker} speak somebody's name and it'll dial the number for you , so uh bu I mean the this this information is from {disfmarker} is {disfmarker}this is the internal company information , is it ?Industrial Designer: Uh bits of it , yeah .Project Manager: So uh {disfmarker}User Interface: Of course mobilephones do tend to be more expensive ,Industrial Designer: Yes , as well .Project Manager: {vocalsound}User Interface: you know , hundred and fifty pounds orsomething . As opposed to the twenty Euros , twenty five Euros .Project Manager: Yeah , mm true , again but if it's without any without any uh p priceinformations that's uh difficult to uhIndustrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: uh decide .User Interface: Yeah .Marketing: {vocalsound} Also lots ofmobile phones have got a lot of technology in them , not just that , so .Industrial Designer: Mm .Project Manager: Yeah , that's that's right . It's like {disfmarker}it's it's {disfmarker} you can't {disfmarker} 'cause mobile phones are expensive , you can't say it's the voice recognition bit that is .User Interface: {vocalsound}Yeah .Project Manager: But we don't know . Um . {vocalsound} I mean uh I su i I mean if {disfmarker} given that the um the technology is not well developedand and given that it's it's never been done before , um th th the double risk , uh perhaps we ought to uh stick to uh to buttons , since the last thing we want todo is present a product that doesn't work . Um . Thoughts ?User Interface: Well , another thought I {disfmarker}Marketing: Would {disfmarker}User Interface:oh , sorry , go ahead .Marketing: Oh I was just gonna say mayb maybe it sh like um {disfmarker} maybe we can like cut corners somewhere else to bring in overcost .Project Manager: {vocalsound} I mean do w do we think that the voice technology is fundamental to the project ?Industrial Designer: Uh it's fundament wellI mean I guess it it's something we've discussed uh since the the sort of the beginning , so I th I think in in our in our minds it's it's fundamental , but I don't"}
+{"doc_id":"doc_148","qid":"","text":"Lynne Neagle AM: Good morning, everyone. Welcome to the Children, Young People and Education Committee this morning. I've received apologies for absencefrom Siân Gwenllian, and I'm very pleased to welcome Helen Mary Jones, who is substituting for Siân today. Can I ask whether Members want to declare anyinterests, please? Can I just, then, place on record that I have got a son who was about to do A-levels, so is affected by the exam decision? We'll move on, then,to our substantive item today, which is an evidence session with the Welsh Government around the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on education in Wales.I'm very pleased to welcome Kirsty Williams, Minister for Education; Steve Davies, who is director of the education directorate; Huw Morris, who is the groupdirector, skills, higher education and lifelong learning; and Rob Orford, who is the chief scientific adviser for health. Thank you all for coming. We know that this isa really difficult and pressurised time for everyone, and we appreciate your attendance. Minister, I understand you wanted to make an opening statementtoday.Kirsty Williams AM: Yes, if that's okay, Chair. As you know, it's not usually my practice to do that, but I think it is important today. COVID-19 coronavirus isone of the most significant issues that the Welsh Government and the people of Wales have dealt with in recent times. Dealing with the impacts of this pandemicis extremely challenging. Things are changing on an hourly basis, and we have to make decisions quickly to ensure public safety. But I would like to assure youthat our aim, and my aim, and my main concern as the education Minister is to protect all staff and pupils in our schools and other educational settings. But wealso have a duty to ensure continuing and continuity of education. Public health is clearly the priority here, but that does not change our belief that no child shouldmiss out on any education, unless absolutely necessary. So, the decision to close all schools from tomorrow for statutory education provision was not takenlightly, but I believe it was necessary, given the advice and recommendations that we had received from a public health perspective and the situation that wasdeveloping on the ground. From next week, schools will have a new purpose. They will help support those most in need, including people involved in theimmediate response to the coronavirus outbreak, and I'm working with my colleagues in the Cabinet, with Government officials and our partners in localgovernment to develop and finalise these plans. The key areas that we're looking at are supporting and safeguarding the vulnerable and ensuring continuity oflearning. This includes all of those who benefit from free school meals and children with additional learning needs. I can confirm that all maintained schools inWales already have access to a range of digital tools that can support distance learning through the world-class Hwb digital learning platform, including virtualclassrooms and video-conferencing facilities. A guide on what tools are available and how schools can use them has been developed and is being promotedwidely. Yesterday, I announced that, whilst there are no easy choices, we have agreed that the best way forward is not to proceed with the summer exam series.Learners due to sit these exams will be awarded a fair grade to recognise their work, drawing on a range of information that is available, and I will announcefurther details shortly, but I felt it necessary to give early certainty to students and to staff. I would like to put on record my thanks to everyone working ineducation settings for the hard work that they have put in over the last few months in dealing with the virus and ensuring that pupils have been able to continueto learn. We need to continue to do this work together, as we face the continuing challenges posed by the coronavirus. Diolch yn fawr.Lynne Neagle AM: Thankyou very much, Minister, for that statement. We'll go to questions from Members now, and I've got some questions from Dawn Bowden.Dawn Bowden AM: Thankyou, Chair. Can I thank you, Kirsty, for your statement and the really difficult decisions that you've been having to make? You've already indicated in yourstatement this morning that these decisions are not taken lightly, and we understand that that is the case across Government. So, thank you for what you'vebeen doing. You've outlined a little bit further there in your statement to us this morning about the new purpose. I take from what you're saying that you haven'treally developed that yet in terms of exactly what that is going to look like. You've talked about the children of key workers, free school meals, additional learningneeds. Is there anything else you can tell us about that at the moment and how you might staff the schools in those particular areas?Kirsty Williams AM: Thankyou, Dawn. So, you're absolutely right, our priority now is to operationalise, with colleagues in local government and schools, a practical response. And I have tosay, we're working to timescales that I would have hoped to have avoided, but given the fact that we're having to make these decisions quite quickly, I hope thatyou will understand that perhaps where we start on Monday might change when we have more time and more opportunities to develop programmes goingforward. Steve will be able to give you more details of the practical work that has already been going on, but our expectation will be that schools will be playingan important part in providing safe and secure places for children of those on the front-line response to dealing with the coronavirus to attend, and work isalready under way with local authorities and individual schools on what that will look like for the emergency situation on Monday. Our other priority is indeed freeschool meals, and, again, where we eventually end up might be a different place to where we are on Monday. Again, we're responding to the emergency situationthat there will be families that were expecting a free school meal on Monday, and, again, individual schools and local authorities are developing those plans atpace to be able to provide an emergency response as we work out a longer term plan to deal with the situation. The same thing also goes for additional learningneeds, and attending to the needs of that particular group of learners. So, those conversations began a few days ago. I had the opportunity to meet with the FirstMinister and Andrew Morgan, the leader of the Welsh Local Government Association, yesterday to talk about what local government could do, and what they werealready doing. Those plans in some places are already quite developed, and are now working at pace, but I hope you will understand that where we start onMonday is the emergency response, and that work will develop as we go forward. But, Steve, perhaps you could—? Because Steve was the one making all thosephone calls and doing the practical operational stuff, rather than me. Steve.Steve Davies: In short, the new purpose is to meet the needs of particular groups ofchildren and young people. In some cases, some of the response to supporting free school meals, in the short term in particular, we may use the schools as partof that, and I'm certain that will happen in some cases. The second area is looking at how we support the children of key workers. Now, there is still work to bedone on identifying exactly the categories of key workers, but I think it's really encouraging that in my discussions yesterday—I spoke with all 22 directors ofeducation, and the examples we're picking up in their work with schools is they're already ahead of the curve in working with schools. So, schools have identifiedthe number of children with health workers. It will grow, and we will need to look at that range. Then, the third area is vulnerable children. They're vulnerablesometimes in terms of education other than at school, vulnerable in terms of mental health, and for those children, as well as having an experience that we wantto be planned, some have compared it to a snow day, particularly on Monday, when you're putting something together in the short term, but it will not be aformal curriculum that those children would normally go through. So, the range of activities—some will be focused on educational activities, some will be cultural,some will be sporting, and that plan will be developed on the basis of the age range of children, which in some cases may go from extremely young children up tothose at the age of 16 in our all-through schools, but there will be a planned set of activities to cater for those children. What we are doing currently—I have staffback at Cathays Park who are in touch and working with directors of education to ensure that schools over the next two days will have been able to identify, atleast at the earlier stage, in terms of health workers, the type and numbers of people. There are already schools who have informed us, and local authorities, oftheir plans for these activities to be starting next week, which is quite amazing, actually, given where we are. But we are expecting, and we're writing to schoolstoday, that during the course of next week, headteachers to be in schools, and with their staff, taking into consideration the health guidance as to which staffshould or should not be in, and in that period from next Monday through the two-week period, to Easter, we expect staff to be both planning for delivery postEaster, but also, as I said, building on and reflecting the good practice that's already in place for schools that have engaged in activities, and I'm sure a number ofthem will be inviting and enabling those children to come in on Monday. So, Monday will be a challenge for some, and not all will be delivering it, but we will beworking so that we can get as much as possible delivered for those groups over the next two weeks, and particularly to have resilient programmes post Easter forthe groups of children in those three categories that I said.Dawn Bowden AM: Those that have been identified. Can I just clarify one thing? One of the identifiedvulnerable groups would clearly be children on the at-risk register. They would be included.Steve Davies: Yes, definitely. Vulnerable children, yes.Kirsty WilliamsAM: In our discussions, we have asked local government to be working with the social services departments and individual schools to identify those children whomay be in that situation. We know that, for some children, being at school is part of their safeguarding arrangements, and obviously we will need to be able torespond to those needs.Steve Davies: I wrote specifically yesterday to all directors of education to be assured that, for those children, the register is up to dateand the plans are in place. I'm working with Albert Heaney my colleague, the director for social services, who is meeting with the 22 directors of social servicestoday to look to ensure that we are joined up in ensuring none of these children fall through the gap.Lynne Neagle AM: Okay. I've got a supplementary fromHefin, and then Suzy.Hefin David AM: A very quick and simple question: how are you going to communicate this to parents? There's a bigger picture and it'schanging all the time, as you said. The Welsh Government have a route to communication. The most helpful thing I've seen is that Public Health Wales have asingle website with information regarding the wider issue of the virus. How will this then be cascaded to schools, because there's obviously a time lag? So, have"}

Okay so this is just a presentation on uh the trendsthat we're gonna use to make the product stand out from the rest of the products out there at the moment . Um can I just put this on ? So we have to work out away {disfmarker} what we can do with our product to make it stand out and make it so people wanna buy it . Um . This is {disfmarker} to do this I will notremove my microphone . {vocalsound} We basically used um some focus group surveys which I went through with you last time , the main results of that , andum some research on the current design um and fashion trends that are out there at the moment um ,Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: and as part ofthis {disfmarker} The important aspects that came out were things that we've already discussed really . The most important by far was the look and feel of it . Itneeds to be something that's very different from everything else out there . It needs to stand out {vocalsound} . It needs to be not functional like the rest of thethings out there at the moment . Most people find remote controls boring at the moment , we need to have something that looks interesting , that looks exciting ,that will stand out . People will wanna buy it . Um {disfmarker} That was twice as i important as the next item on here which is that it has to be technologicallyinnovative {disfmarker} has to have something else , apart from just the look of it . People have to then think about it and say {gap} got something there that Iwant . That's a really cool feature , and it has to make them wanna buy it again . Third on the list , and again innovative was twice as important as this last umaspect , it has to be easy to use . So they have to be able to {disfmarker} be able to look at it and have some intuitive idea of how to use it um . Drawing on thefashion trends at the moment , uh fruit and vegetables um . This is basically talking about just the the feel of it , so probably not the smell of it , but the brightcolours , um eye-catching , really bold designs , and a spongy feel .User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Mm .Industrial Designer: Mm-hmm .ProjectManager: Mm .Marketing: Um I had a talk to the design people about this , but having a remote that's tactile , that feels different , that would be really cool . Thatwould make it stand out . Um .Project Manager: Hmm .Industrial Designer: So can you repeat and be more precise about what you just said ?Project Manager:Spongy feel ?Industrial Designer: Uh about the feeling yeah uh yoMarketing: WellUser Interface: {vocalsound} You can {disfmarker}Marketing: ma make it notnecessar sp spongy is the current thing . Spongy is the current texture , but basically there are no reports no remotes at the moment which are spongy or tactileat all , so if we make it like maybe furry or soft or something , that'll be something that sets it apart ,Industrial Designer: Okay .Project Manager: Mm .Marketing:rather than just bare plastic which they all are at the moment .Industrial Designer: Yeah .Project Manager: Okay .Marketing: So as far as the design goes , thevery most important aspect was the design , to the customers . So going with the fruit and vegetable idea , we've got the bright colours , so makes it stand out ,the oranges and the the bright yellows and the florescent colours , part of the fruit and vegetables um . Going back to the idea of taking inspiration from mobilephones , they've all got those {disfmarker} a lot of them have the changeable covers , so they can choose what colour the outside is . That's one way of lookingat it um . Textured feel we just talked about . Maybe it's another way of doing that .Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Marketing: So if it's part of the the changeablecovers then may maybe they can choose a different texture , a spongy one or a soft one or something like that . So they can choose it li as they want to to maybe{disfmarker} to fit in with their decor in their living room , or just what they like , their sports team or whatever .Industrial Designer: Yeah that's a very good idea, yeah . Yeah .Marketing: Um and yeah , still taking the inspiration from the mobile phone design so functionality , the way the mobile phones work , the way thekeypad looks . Also just the way that a lot of industrial design is going into mobile phones at the moment . They're big selling items . People put a lot of thoughtinto that so we can leverage off that , and we can start using some of their ideas . Um back to technological in in innovation , not quite as important , but still abig issue . Um we talked about having a way of finding a remote control if it's been lost , uh that's one thing we could look at . There are other aspects likeL_C_D_ screens and speech recognition which weren't {disfmarker} I don't think , in my personal opinion , gonna be worth the extra expense and the extra effortthat will go into them . I think we're better doing something basic like thisIndustrial Designer: Mm-hmm .Marketing: which is very important and very{disfmarker} will be a really cool feature to put in . And {disfmarker} {gap} use . I had no real specific ideas for this , maybe we just , the basic idea of havingyour core functions big and at the top maybe , by themselves ,Project Manager: Mm . Yes wellMarketing: and then {disfmarker}Project Manager: maybe Matthewcan can give some more information on the {disfmarker}Marketing: yeahUser Interface: Yeah .Marketing: {disfmarker} and then th th the finer details of buttonsyou don't use as much either hidden away or completely separate .Project Manager: Mm .Marketing: Yep {vocalsound} and that's the presentation .UserInterface: Voila .Project Manager: Okay good , that's very clear .User Interface: Yeah .Industrial Designer: Yeah very clear .Project Manager: 'Kay . Um . Uh{disfmarker}Marketing: So does anyone have any comments or ideas on that ? I think you {disfmarker}Project Manager: Maybe we yes well we maybe{vocalsound} can decide later on um {vocalsound} the l the the look and feel of uh I've {disfmarker} it was a good idea maybe to to {disfmarker}IndustrialDesigner: To let the people choose , {gap} you mean ?Project Manager: Yes the the the there are changeable covers ,Industrial Designer: Yeah .Project Manager:but on the other hand I I don't know whether my superiors would be so glad with it because {vocalsound} you have to introduce a complete uh uh new l line ofuh of suppliesMarketing: Hmm .Project Manager: uh it would be uh very complicated uh organisational {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing:Well we're selling so many units of this . This is gonna be a mass marketed product , we can afford to have two or three different designs at least .ProjectManager: Hmm . Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: Yeah a range of uh yeah , a set of three , four different aspects .Marketing: Mm mm .Project Manager: Yes .Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: Sure that fits the {vocalsound} {disfmarker}Project Manager: Yes {gap} and of course it will be a we we get a {disfmarker} if itworks we can get uh after-salesMarketing: Mm .Project Manager: I mean that would {gap} would be very good I mean those covers could go for for three , fiveEuro {vocalsound} .Industrial Designer: Yeah .Marketing: Mm .Project Manager: That's a very good idea um {disfmarker} And then uh maybe uh we can go a thMatthew's presentation becauseUser Interface: YeahMarketing: Mm-hmm .User Interface: sProject Manager: the {disfmarker}User Interface: then we coulddiscuss later like {disfmarker} we can put all ideas together .Project Manager: Together indeed uh ,Marketing: Mm .User Interface: It should be easier with that.Project Manager: because you ma might have some some information on the the easy to use ,Industrial Designer: Yeah yeah I agree .Marketing: Mm-hmm ,yeah .Project Manager: what you were already mentioning .User Interface: Yeah .Industrial Designer: Yeah .User Interface: So {disfmarker}Industrial Designer:And your part is very related to mineUser Interface: Yeah .Industrial Designer: because when you suggest something then it has to be integrated inside .UserInterface: Yeah so {vocalsound} I'll I'll go with that actuallyMarketing: Mm-hmm .User Interface: so um {vocalsound} {disfmarker} Okay so m so {vocalsound}then the the idea of uh having a remote is generally you have uh different keys and uh different structures , different forms , and uh they could be like buttonsand um they could be of uh a varying sizes if you want to to uh basically emphasize a particular key more than the other , and uh maybe like you can havedifferent colours for example having the r red for the on off switching on and off the button .

Mm-hmm.User Interface: So we have that n uh channels here starting from um uh one two three {disfmarker} there would be numbers in in the {disfmarker} on theactual one .Project Manager: Yeah .User Interface: So it's four , up to four , up to seven , up to nine and zero , z zero here .Project Manager: {vocalsound} Sixseven eight nine . I like that .User Interface: Yeah . And then , well this is on off button . It's it's quite standard mm place for it and and also the colour is quiteoften red , so it's it's kind of user friendly .Project Manager: Yeah .User Interface: And then these ones would be for flipping the channels back and {disfmarker}like the previous one and the next one .Project Manager: Uh-huh .User Interface: And and we would also have a l little um thing saying here , previous and neprevon prevon next .Marketing: So where's the volume ?Project Manager: Yeah .User Interface: The volume is is scrolling .Industrial Designer: It's on the side.User Interface: On the side ,Marketing: Ah , you did get that in then ,User Interface: this one . Yeah you just do it like this .Marketing: mm-hmm .User Interface:And and and it's it's on the back is mm cover or back lid , because if you flip it open , you can still do the scrolling here .Marketing: Oh okay , {gap} .ProjectManager: Mm-hmm .User Interface: See ? So the volume is {vocalsound} you just scroll , but then once you flip it open , {vocalsound} okay , there there youhave the screenProject Manager: Yeah .User Interface: and and you have the mm {vocalsound} spinning wheel with options to choose .Project Manager:Mm-hmm .User Interface: You can move back and forth and then if you need to m choose something on the screen , you just push the cen mm the middle button.Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Marketing: Cool . Oh , the thing we forgot was like a mute button .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Uh no , we we'd not put {gap}{vocalsound} {disfmarker}User Interface: A mute button .Marketing: Yeah .Industrial Designer: so on on the cover we have the the bare essentials .UserInterface: Well , {gap} we'll have this on the screen , on the display .Project Manager: Y or you could have it {disfmarker} so you {disfmarker} on the wheel ifyou {disfmarker}Marketing: On the wheel , like if you hold the wheel down then it will mute .Industrial Designer: Uh on the L_C_D_ we r you know , the mainmenu will have various options .User Interface: Well , but the but the mute {disfmarker} yeah , the scrolling is kind of you have to scroll all the way to make itmute , right ?Project Manager: But if you hold it in ,Industrial Designer: Mm .Marketing: Yeah , but it's a scroll and click , isn't it ?Project Manager: if it's a scrolland click so you hold it in ?Marketing: Okay , cool .User Interface: Okay , yeah , okay .Marketing: So that {gap} that solves the whole mute issue .IndustrialDesigner: Mm .User Interface: Yeah . {vocalsound} And okay , so i so the the voice recognition is also just part of it .Project Manager: {gap} no .User Interface:You can't really see it in the interface .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Yeah , it's hidden in there somewhere .User Interface: Yeah . And we do have the logoon it as well .Project Manager: Mm-hmm , very good .User Interface: So I think it {disfmarker}Project Manager: And it's {disfmarker} {vocalsound} with the theblack and yellow you're even in the right colours .User Interface: Yeah .Marketing: {gap} .Industrial Designer: Cool .User Interface: Yeah , I think um we coulddo l the logo in grey , as it is on the website .Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} We ran out of resources here , so .{vocalsound}Marketing: Yeah .User Interface: In the actual one .Project Manager: {vocalsound}User Interface: Yeah . {vocalsound}Marketing:{vocalsound}Industrial Designer: You can have a look . {vocalsound}User Interface: So if you have questions .Project Manager: Very good , let's have a look.User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Test it out . {vocalsound}Marketing: {gap} . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager:{vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Uh it's a sort of intermediate colour , I guess .Marketing: Yeah , oh , we hold the remote .IndustrialDesigner: {vocalsound}Marketing: Oh , but it it does feel all cold and slimy .Project Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: I hatePlay-Do , it's just minging .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: But yeah , uh that's cool , cool .Project Manager: Very good .Marketing: Mm-hmm.Project Manager: Okay , so maybe if we go on to evaluation cri criteriaMarketing: Okay .Project Manager: and then we'll there {disfmarker}Industrial Designer:Yeah , see the budget .Project Manager: I suspect we're gonna have a couple of minor finance issues , but um we'll se I'm sure we can get around them somehow.Marketing: {vocalsound} {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: We'll just send all of our manufacturing to some nice poorcountryIndustrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: and cut some of the prices that way .User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: Wales .{vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Wales , for example . {vocalsound}Marketing: Mm . Cool , okay . Right , okay . {vocalsound}{vocalsound} Fabulous ,Project Manager: Marketing Expert .Marketing: yeah . Okay , cool . So what we're gonna do is prefer {disfmarker} prepare the evaluationof the new design . {vocalsound} Um so we're gonna be using a seven point scale ,Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Marketing: so one is , you know , yes , it totallymeets with that requirement and seven is , no , it really doesn't , we need to go back and start again . Um , you know . Basically , what I did was I went throughall the like user requirements and things that we've done and we've worked on and like made a list of them . Um you know , so that we can evaluate each oneand like {disfmarker} so it was about going back to the start and saying oh yeah , we did manage to do that , or oh no , we really forgot about that .UserInterface: Yeah .Marketing: Okay ?Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Marketing: Cool , so these are what they are .

Um uh we want to know {disfmarker} to{disfmarker} at the end to know the new project's requirement so we need uh to know the the user uh needs that we want to fulfil to fulfil the {disfmarker} fromthe technical part we want to know how it going to work and um third part {vocalsound} uh I don't remember {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}{vocalsound}Project Manager: which is not very good .

So um let's go for the three presentations , so first um Marketing Expert .Marketing: {vocalsound} Who starts ? {vocalsound} Oh .Ha . okay .Project Manager: So wait a minute . Mm .Marketing: So I dunno if I can do that like this ? Yeah ? So it's being modified . Do you want {disfmarker}yeah , open . Read only . I hope I saved it . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: So , umUser Interface: Sammy Benjo . I know this nameuh .Marketing: yeah , this is my name . {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound} Sounds uh {disfmarker}User Interface: {vocalsound} We met before.Marketing: So as you know , you {disfmarker} I think you already know me , Sammy Benjo . I am the expert in marketing and I want to tell you about whatpeople uh s want and uh like and dislike in remote controls , and I hope this is going to help you to to design it correctly . So next please . Uh-oh .{vocalsound}Project Manager: Mm {vocalsound} uh .Industrial Designer: Yeah , it is put F_ five {gap} .Project Manager: Hmm .Marketing: {vocalsound} Hmm.Industrial Designer: The full page presentation , yep .Marketing: Yeah maybe in the full pageProject Manager: Okay .User Interface: F_ F_ five .Marketing:because i I spent lots of time doing this presentation , so .Industrial Designer: Yeah . Yep .Project Manager: F_ five .Industrial Designer: Yeah .Marketing: Uh-huhhmm okay .Project Manager: Mm-hmm . Mm .Marketing: So basically uh what I suggest is that uh instead of deciding ourself what what could be and what shouldbe a good uh remote control , let's ask people who are users of remote controls how they feel about w the current remote controls , what they like , what theydon't like and um and what they do with them by the way {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: because they are supposed to be useful .{vocalsound} Don't forget about that . So we've we've conducted a a survey on on the use of uh remote controls and I'd like to show you some of the results wefound on this survey . And next please . Yeah , so basically what we found was that uh there are several things that the user don't like in remote controls . First ofall , they find it very ugly . {vocalsound} Current remote controls as you know they're the same as this one uh they're not nice colour , not nice shape , I meanthey're all the same , and they're not l good looking . Um what is interesting is that in fact it seems that they were {disfmarker} people are ready to pay for niceand look {disfmarker} and fancy looking uh remote control , so I think we should probably spend lots of time in {disfmarker} and effort in that um . And theother thing is that uh the the current remote controls are not so easy to use and it it {disfmarker} the the current uh facilities that they offer do not match whatpeople really want to use their remote controls . For instance uh we see that uh they zap very often so I think this is a very uh important uh functionality that itshould be easy for them to to zap uh in one way or another . And most of the buttons uh on uh current remote controls are not used , so I think we should designsomething where some of the buttons which are those that are used should be easier to see and use than others that only a couple of people are using . Um nextplease . {vocalsound} Now {vocalsound} people are very frustrated w with their {vocalsound} remote controlsIndustrial Designer: {vocalsound}{vocalsound}Marketing: and they for instance uh they don't even find it {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound}Marketing: it's {vocalsound} it's often lostsomewhere in the in the {disfmarker} in your home and nobody knows where it is .Industrial Designer: Yeah .User Interface: Agree .Marketing: Maybe if we havesomething where we could {vocalsound} ask the remote control please , where are you ?Industrial Designer: Yeah .Project Manager: {vocalsound}IndustrialDesigner: {vocalsound} Yeah .Marketing: {vocalsound} Like uh something to to {disfmarker} like t I think phones . Some of the phones have some of this kindof s functionality . Uh of course phone you can always phone your phoneProject Manager: {vocalsound}Marketing: but {vocalsound} you can't phone your{vocalsound} your remote control .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} You can {disfmarker} you are {gap} .Project Manager: Why not ? {vocalsound}Marketing:But why not ? Yeah .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: And because of the fact that there are so many buttons in these remote controls that nobodyuse ,Industrial Designer: Hmm .Marketing: in fact they don't even know how to use them , so most of the the people say they they don't know how to{disfmarker} they {disfmarker} to use properly their r remote controls . And uh they are bad for R_S_I_ but uh I don't remember what is R_S_I_ .ProjectManager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound} Okay uh tha that's look great .Marketing: {vocalsound} So I think theyare bad . {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound} R_S_I_ mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} {vocalsound}Marketing: Mm-hmm . Mm nobody hasany idea about that ? Well I'll check uh with myIndustrial Designer: Yeah , it's electromagnetic waves or something kind of maybe uh effect .Marketing: Oh , okay,User Interface: No , I don't think so .Marketing: I think it's a technical thingIndustrial Designer: Yeah ,Marketing: which our {disfmarker}Industrial Designer:because infrared uses some electromagnetic technology ,Project Manager: Mm-hmm . Okay .Marketing: Okay .User Interface: Okay .Industrial Designer: andthose waves have high {disfmarker}Marketing: So , it seems that {vocalsound} it's a lot of people for a concept that we don't know {vocalsound}User Interface:But twenty six percent , do you know {disfmarker}Project Manager: {vocalsound} Or something we don't know . {vocalsound} Mm-hmm .{vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Uh .User Interface: Twenty five . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Uh .Marketing: but we have to take this into account .UserInterface: Every fourth , you know . {vocalsound} Every four {disfmarker} some of us knows .Industrial Designer: Yeah it's {disfmarker} People really{vocalsound} {disfmarker}Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound} Okay .Marketing: So anywayUser Interface: One of us{disfmarker}Marketing: that's for what the biggest frustration uh of the user and umIndustrial Designer: Yeah . Yeah .Marketing: what else do I have ? Next slide? Ah yeah .User Interface: Mm-hmm .Marketing: So we've listed a couple of uhUser Interface: Functions .Marketing: s uh functions that may be uh used by u theuser in the current uh available uh remote controls and uh well the tables look very nice to read but what is important is to understand that the power button isnot used often because in general you {vocalsound} use it only once per session , but it is very relevant . {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound}Marketing:People want to have a power button . Channel selection is uh o often used {disfmarker} very often used and indeed uh very relevant .Project Manager:{vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound} Ah {vocalsound} now I remember what is R_S_I_ {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound}Marketing: it's repetitivitystress injury . {vocalsound} We have to be careful with that word but {vocalsound} uh anywayIndustrial Designer: Uh .Marketing: I continue my presentation so{disfmarker} yeah ,User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: channel selection is um very important , very often used . Volume is not often used but people uhwant to have control on volume and that makes sense of course . And n then you have things which are very much less often used like the settings . Audiosettings , screen settings , even teletext and channel settings . All of them . they're not often used and they are s more or less relevant . It seems that people findteletext teletext uh relevant , even if I personally never use it but seems that it's average relevant at least , so .Project Manager: I have been told that we uhdon't consider teletext , that it's out of date now because of internet .Marketing: I can tell you that uh in a l in a scale between one and ten relevant uh notrelevant to relevant people scored a six on this , which is not as uh these these two one were {disfmarker} had I think ten I think .Project Manager: Mm-hmm.Marketing: But but if you compare with these ones , uh I think they scored a one or two .Industrial Designer: Hmm .Marketing: Not very relevant , so if if thereare good reason not to put teletext it's okay but just know that people find it somehow relevant .Project Manager: Mm-hmmUser Interface: Mm-hmm .ProjectManager: {vocalsound}Marketing: That's for the main functions I think and uh then we can ask uh ourself uh what people don't have that may be useful . Forinstance I think {disfmarker} net next slide . {vocalsound} One of the thing {disfmarker} the trend uh that uh you are probably aware of is the possibility{disfmarker} the eventual possibility of having speech recognition in your remote control , so you wouldn't have to tap tap in your buttons but just tell yourremote control or whatever you need you have what you want . So we've conducted a survey about uh whether people would like or not to have uh this kind of uhfunctionality in their remote control and as we can see it really depends on the age . Young people , probably because it's a buzz word , find it very relevant . Anduh as the age goes up {vocalsound} the {vocalsound} the relevance goes down .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Yeah .Marketing: {vocalsound} So now itreally depends on the kind of uh targeting uh wha who are we targeting with this remote control ?Industrial Designer: 'Cause {disfmarker}Marketing: I think if weare targeting young people then uh it's probably something we have to consider . If we are targeting you very old people this is something they really don't knowwhy they {disfmarker} this should be so nowProject Manager: Mm-mm . Okay .Marketing: this is of course , depends on that . And um I don't have anyconclusion , I didn't have time the meeting was very tight , so that's basically my findings . And uh , if you have any question ?Project Manager: Mm I think it'sgood , okay . You done a good review .User Interface: I got one question ,Marketing: I can go back .Industrial Designer: Thank you .Marketing: Yeah onequestion ,User Interface: uh you are a Market ExpertMarketing: yeah ?User Interface: soMarketing: I am . {vocalsound}User Interface: should we aim at the"}
+{"doc_id":"doc_152","qid":"","text":"The Chair (Hon. Anthony Rota (NipissingTimiskaming, Lib.)): I call this meeting to order. Welcome to the 12th meeting of the House of Commons SpecialCommittee on the COVID-19 Pandemic. This will be the first hybrid meeting of the committee. Some members will be participating via videoconference and somewill be participating in person. This follows the order made by the House on May26,2020. Members who have already participated in a virtual meeting of thespecial committee may actually not notice any change, except for the fact that some members are also participating from the floor of the House. An additionalrubric, that of statements by members, was also added to the proceedings of the committee. In order to ensure that those joining the meeting via videoconference can be seen and heard by those in the chamber, two screens have been set up in the chamber on either side of the Speakers chair. Soundamplification for virtual interventions will be available, and members in the chamber can listen to the floor sound or interpretation using the earpieces on theirdesks. Before speaking, please wait until I recognize you by name. Please also direct your remarks through the Chair. Thank you. For those of you joining viavideo conference, I would like to remind you to leave your mike on mute when you are not speaking. Also, please note that if you want to speak in English, youshould be on the English channel. If you want to speak French, you should be on the French channel. Should you wish to alternate between the two languages,you should change the channel to the language that you are speaking each time you switch languages. Should members participating by videoconference need torequest the floor outside their designated speaking times, they should activate their microphone and state that they have a point of order. Those in the chambercan simply rise in the usual way. Please note that today's proceedings will be televised in the same way as a typical sitting of the House. Next we'll move on toministerial announcements. I understand that there are no ministerial announcements today, so we'll move on to petitions. We'll be presenting petitions for aperiod not exceeding 15 minutes. I would like to remind members that any petition presented during a meeting of the special committee must have already beencertified by the clerk of petitions. For members participating in person, we ask that they please come and drop the signed certificates off at the table once thepetitions are presented. First on our list for presenting petitions is Ms. May, who is joining us virtually.Ms. Elizabeth May (SaanichGulf Islands, GP): Mr. Chair,what an honour to be the first voice coming to you from the screens on either side of the Speaker of the House. I speak to you from SaanichGulf Islands on thetraditional territory of the WSNEC people. Hych'ka Siem. I'm presenting a petition, number 431-00215, and it has been certified. The petitioners call on thisHouse to take note of the fact that Canada is the only country with a universal health care system that does not include the provision of necessary prescriptionmedications. They note that the system across Canada is a patchwork that leaves three million Canadians unprepared and uninsured to be able to purchasenecessary medications. They call on the House assembled to put in place a system of universal national pharmacare, bringing down the cost of drugs through bulkpurchasing. I think I'll call that a summary, Mr. Chair. Thank you very much.The Chair: The next petition will be presented by Mr. Genuis.Mr. Garnett Genuis(Sherwood ParkFort Saskatchewan, CPC): Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. I'm pleased to be presenting two petitions before the committee today. The firstpetition is in support of Bill S-204. This Senate public bill, been put forward by Senator Salma Ataullahjan in the Senate, would make it a criminal offence forsomeone to go abroad to receive an organ for which there has not been consent. It also has a mechanism by which somebody could be deemed inadmissible toCanada for being involved in the horrible practice of forced organ harvesting and trafficking. This bill has been before various Parliaments for over 10 years, andpetitioners are hopeful that this Parliament will be the one that finally takes action to address forced organ harvesting and trafficking. The second petition is putforward by folks who are concerned about Bill C-7, particularly the efforts by the government through Bill C-7 to remove vital safeguards that are currentlyassociated with Canada's euthanasia regime. Petitioners are not happy about the fact that the government is trying to eliminate the 10-day reflection period andremove other safeguards that only four short years ago the government thought were essential for the euthanasia and assisted suicide system that they wereputting in place. The petitioners call on the government to address that, and they are not supportive of these particular efforts to remove vital safeguards fromthat regime. Thank you very much.The Chair: Is anyone else presenting petitions? Seeing none, we'll move on to statements by members. We will now proceedto Statements by Members for a period not exceeding 15minutes. Each statement will be for one minute. The first will be from Mr.Samson. Mr.Samson, you havethe floor.Mr. Darrell Samson (SackvillePrestonChezzetcook, Lib.): Good afternoon, everyone. It's an honour to be presenting an S. O. 31. This spring has been adifficult one for Nova Scotia and the communities of SackvillePrestonChezzetcook. While residents have banded together to tackle the challenges presented byCOVID-19, we have also had to mourn the passing of three remarkable local women: RCMP Constable Heidi Stevenson, well known by many in Cole Harbour andthe surrounding areas; our own Sub-Lieutenant Abbigail Cowbrough, who was based out of 12 Wing Shearwater; and Captain Jenn Casey of the Canadian ForcesSnowbirds. All three women died in the line of duty in separate tragic events while serving our country. These three brave women, who served with honour onland, at sea and in the air, represent the absolute best of us. Heidi, Abbigail and Jenn were inspirational and will not be forgotten. Thank you.The Chair: Next we'llgo to Mr. Bezan.Mr. James Bezan (SelkirkInterlakeEastman, CPC): Thank you, Mr. Chair. Canada needs a prime minister who will create jobs and opportunity, butinstead we have a prime minister who is piling up crippling national debt. Yesterday the PBO predicted the federal deficit this year will hit over $252 billion. That isalmost equivalent to an average year of government spending before the Liberal government. After five years with this debt, Prime Minister, Canada's nationaldebt is set to hit $1 trillion, with almost nothing to show for it. Industries from coast to coast are either closed or are struggling. Canadian workers need anddeserve a prime minister who supports our energy sector and gets our natural resources and agriculture products to market, who supports small business and willmake our tax system encourage job creation and growth, and who will bring advanced manufacturing jobs to Canada and keep the automotive industry growing.Most importantly, we need a Conservative prime minister who will get the government finances under control after the massive debt left by this primeminister.The Chair: Next we'll go to Mr. Anandasangaree.Mr. Gary Anandasangaree (ScarboroughRouge Park, Lib.): Mr. Chair, I speak today with a very heavyheart. Since the COVID-19 outbreak, we've seen a disproportionate number of deaths in long-term care homes. I'm thankful for the Canadian Armed Forces whowere deployed to the Altamont care home in my riding and four other facilities across the GTA. The CAF have brought forward horrifying allegations in theoperation of these homes. They include residents being given expired or improper doses of medication; not being cleaned or changed for a prolonged period oftime; being forcibly fed, causing choking; being bed-bound for weeks; receiving inadequate nutrition, and much more. Mr. Chair, I call upon Premier Ford to placethese five homes under a mandatory management order and to appoint a third party manager to address and rectify these violations. I also call upon the Premierto undertake an independent public inquiry into the tragedy we face in long-term care facilities across Ontario. Finally, Mr. Chair, we need to work with theprovinces and territories to set national standards of care for the most vulnerable in our society. We can and must do better. Thank you, Mr. Chair.The Chair: Wehave a point of order. Go ahead, Ms. May.Ms. Elizabeth May: Thank you, Mr. Chair. I hesitate to interrupt colleagues, but I'm concerned about the petitionpractice, which, as I understand it, is to summarize a petition but not make a speech. I felt one of our colleagues was trespassing on our usual rules.The Chair: Iwill remind honourable members that when a petition is presented, we're expected to give a prcis and make it as concise as possible. Thank you. Mr.Champoux,you have the floor.Mr. Martin Champoux (Drummond, BQ): Mr.Chair, I would like to recognize the resilience of Quebeckers concerned for their jobs or theirbusinesses during the COVID-19 crisis. They need us to plan for after the crisis, and we must do so now. To do so, we need the proper information. We need toknow the status of the public finances. That is why the Bloc Qubcois is demanding that the government present an economic update, and that it do so beforeJune17. This is not about making a spectacle. Everyone knows that the deficit will be huge. We had to provide the people with support and we all agree on that.But we have to know to what extent. We also have to know where we are starting from so that we can plan where we are going. This is about respecting thepublic, because they are the ones who will be paying the bill. In closing, I would like to remind the government that one group is not really contributing to thepublic purse at the moment. I am talking about the tech giants, the GAFAM group, that have never before been used to the extent that they are now, and that arestill not paying a cent in tax in Canada. The Liberals promised to correct this injustice. Now is a great time for them to do so.The Chair: We'll now go to Ms.Sidhu.Ms. Sonia Sidhu (Brampton South, Lib.): Mr. Chair, this week is National Paramedic Services Week. I want to take this opportunity to thank the Peel regionpolice, paramedic and firefighting services for keeping Bramptonians safe. In my riding, organizations have stepped up to help our community. Organizations suchas the Khalsa Aid Society, the Interfaith Council of Peel, the Brampton YMCA, the Prayer Stone Peoples Church, Unity in the Community, Ste. Louise OutreachCentre, Knights Table, the Yogi Divine Society, Vraj Community Service, Regeneration Brampton and many more have made our community stronger during thisdifficult time. I also have to address the report that came out yesterday from our brave Canadian Armed Forces. Like many Canadians, I was shocked by thisreport from the long-term care centres, including one in my riding. The examples of abuse described in the report are unacceptable. Our seniors deserve dignityand respect. We must find a solution. We need to fix this.The Chair: We'll now go to Mrs. Stubbs.Mrs. Shannon Stubbs (Lakeland, CPC): Mr. Chair, Canada's oil"}

And then uh what I'll think about it . First , the findings . The remotecontrol is a very difficult uh thing to uh to explain to just all of you wh who haven't seen a remote control uh inside . Uh there's a lot of uh plastic on it ,Marketing:{vocalsound}Industrial Designer: um because its uh not so expensive . And there are uh a lot of uh wires , uh which um connect the components in it , thebattery , and there are um switches and things like that . There's a lot of small uh electronics . So it won't be um uh too expensive to build it . Only twelve Eurofifty I think uh we will make it . Now {gap} {disfmarker} And here I have the top of the remote control . Uh here's some kind of chip . Uh on top of this , thereare uh the numbers . Uh you have all on your remote control . And uh the teletext uh button . And uh here's the battery . And when you push the button , it willuh will be sent to the chip . And the chip will um send it to all kind of sub-components . That's what I said , it's very difficult .Project Manager:{vocalsound}Industrial Designer: And after that it will be sent to the infrared . And that will send it to your television . That's a short h uh how it works . Uh Ithink I can uh make it uh difficult , but we all {vocalsound} we all don't get it . My preferences ? It's uh {disfmarker} it won't be uh {disfmarker} We shouldn'tmake it too big . Uh also for the cost , uh we should only put one battery on it . A long-lasting battery . Uh also for the cost , uh use only plastic . Not othermaterials . Also because of the cost , uh not too much buttons on it . We can also make uh a button uh with a {gap} {disfmarker} menu uh button . And then umthat that you will see it on the T_V_ . And on the T_V_ you can uh switch into the menu .User Interface: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: That's {disfmarker} Ithink it's easier . And the bleep signal , y uh you told us . Uh but we can also use it uh a bleep like something , when the battery's empty , then there is a bleep .Then you'll have to change it in a in a week or something . And also the bleep , when {disfmarker} what I told you about uh when you lost it , and you push abutton , and then you hear bleep bleep , and we will find it . This is uh just uh {disfmarker}Project Manager: Oh oh . Two questions .Industrial Designer: Yeah .Yeah .Project Manager: The battery . You say one battery is cheaper . Why ?Industrial Designer: If we w if we use only just one uh small pen-light , then it will becheaper than when we use two .Project Manager: Yeah but when you use two , you can use it two times longer .Industrial Designer: Yeah but then we'll have tomake the um remote control uh long lasting .Project Manager: Okay so it's the size of the remote control .Industrial Designer: {gap} Just {disfmarker} Yeah.Project Manager: Okay and the buttons . When you use it on the television , you've {disfmarker} you need the television , wh which can use it .IndustrialDesigner: Yeah . But uh I think this {disfmarker} our remote control is for the televisions we uh we sell in our company ?Project Manager: Okay .IndustrialDesigner: Or is it also for other company {disfmarker} uh for other televisions ?Project Manager: I think we have to use it also on other televisions though.Industrial Designer: Then this is an option . {vocalsound}Project Manager: So {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Maybe just a menu button to use it on ourtelevisions . And then we make it easier uh for our televisions . And on the other tele televisions , you can also use it , but then we won't use theProject Manager:Yeah but I don't {disfmarker} I think it {disfmarker} {vocalsound} They are two different things though . We have to choose one . It has to work on o uh alltelevisions .User Interface: Mm .Industrial Designer: Yeah ? Okay . Then I think uh the menu button uh will only work on the newer televisions . And we will uhlook forward and don't make a remote control which for the older televisions .Marketing: Hmm .Project Manager: Okay .Industrial Designer: And I just uh haveone more idea . Uh maybe it's one of your tasks . But {disfmarker} Uh , to have a trendy remote control , we can also um make something like the Nokia ummobile phones . To change covers . So if you have uh a trendy half with all red , uh yellow and something . And then you can put a red cover on it .Marketing:Hmm .Industrial Designer: And also different things .Project Manager: Yeah . Good idea .Industrial Designer: Yes .Marketing: Will this will this add to the cost?Industrial Designer: Uh then it won't be {disfmarker} uh will have just one cover on the uh original one . And then you can buy the covers .Marketing: Yes butyou have to m uh be able to change it . D does it make it more difficult to design ?Industrial Designer: I think it will be a little more difficult , but not too much.Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Marketing: Not much . 'Kay .Industrial Designer: Just like with the Nokia uh mobile phones .Project Manager: Yeah but there aremuch more Nokia telephones than um these ones .Industrial Designer: Just one .Project Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Yeah but then we'll have toto just um put five covers on it , and see if it works . If it won't works then we'll get something else . Then we uh won't g uh go further with it .Project Manager:Yeah but are their profits bigger than their cost ?Industrial Designer: Uh a p a {disfmarker} {vocalsound} a cover made in uh in China , it it won't be I guess soexpensive I think .Project Manager: Yeah but there are also design cost . I don't think {disfmarker} When you have a remote control , do you change the cover ?Would you change the cover ?Industrial Designer: Maybe . I wi I won't .Project Manager: No .Industrial Designer: But maybe I think trendy people or like childrenwhere you can paint on it , and uh the the children think , oh this is my remote control , uh I made a picture on it . Uh {disfmarker}Project Manager: N yeah but{disfmarker} I think that too less people would change it for good profit . So {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Yeah . Okay . And the other people ? What do youthink about it ? {vocalsound}Marketing: Um {disfmarker}User Interface: Yeah it's a good idea . But {disfmarker} If if it {disfmarker} Yeah , I don't {disfmarker}I'm not sure if it will make profit enough to uh {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Okay .Project Manager: {gap}User Interface: But it's uh yeah it's uh original idea. {vocalsound}Project Manager: Yes it is but I don't think we have to do it .User Interface: No .Industrial Designer: Okay .Marketing: Mm .Industrial Designer:You're the Project Manager . {vocalsound}Project Manager: Okay .Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Yes . That's it.Project Manager: That's clear . {vocalsound} Okay thank you . So now the User Interface Designer .User Interface: Oh . That's me . Uh {disfmarker} Come on .{gap} . Ah .Marketing: Yeah .User Interface: Yes well uh uh I shall give a short talk about the the technical function design .Industrial Designer:{vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound} Um I thought the the the technical function design was uh to uh {disfmarker} for a remote control to to to have someinfluence on the T_V_ set . Uh both audio and vide video uh in a cordless way . No cords attached . And uh well , it all by pushing a button on the remote . Thatwas from my own experience and uh and uh the previous meeting . Uh I find some uh some interesting quotes on the web . Uh well the same idea here . Uhmessage to the television . And uh and and and well basic uh operations like on and off , and uh switching channels , and uh {disfmarker} and maybe uh teletextor something like that . Uh well these are two uh remotes , and that's our uh our dilemma I think . Uh {disfmarker} We just heard from the Industrial Designerhow uh difficult it is . But uh shall we make a basic remote control , uh just uh swapping channels and volume and uh power button and well nothing much more ."}

Okay , and uh we'llissue some information from uh all of you . And it's in the , I think uh , in the sharing folder . And uh I will invite uh the Christine and the Ed and uh Agnes todiscuss about on the various subjects . So can you go to the next slide ? Yeah uh the agenda of the meeting is opening . Then uh I'm going to talk about uh theproject management , what I'm going to do , and uh , of course , I'm doing the project management and secretary both , okay , to take the minutes of themeeting . And there are three presentations . One is uh new project requirements . And the second one about uh decision on remote control functions . And uhfinally we are closing . Uh and the meeting time will be uh forty minutes , so you have to be very quick . And I have come up with the {disfmarker} managementcome with the new proposal , okay , and I have to discuss a few points on this . Uh both says new insights in the aim of your project . Uh the one is uh theteletext becomes uh outmoded , okay because if uh because of the computer systems and the new technology . So we don't need to consider really about theteletext all in our new project design . And the second one is about uh the remote control . Should be used only for the T_V_ . That's what our uh managementsays . And the third point , it's very very important to establish our uh marketing or uh corporate image , okay , with this new project or new product . Okay .{vocalsound} So I will invite uh {disfmarker} Agnes , can you go to the third slide ?User Interface: No , this is the third slide .Project Manager: Okay , {gap} . So, I'll invite uh Christine to discuss about uh the functional design .Industrial Designer: 'Kay , do you wanna open the {disfmarker}User Interface: Sure . Um .You're participant sIndustrial Designer: I'm number two .User Interface: Two ?Project Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: That's it .User Interface: Doyou want the mouse , or do you want me to {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: I'll do the notes . Yeah , thanks .Project Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer:So um well I I figured uh we should um identify some user requirements , and from my experience , I wanna uh , and from {vocalsound} research I did , uh thethe device has to turn the television on and off the first time you press on the big button , you can't uh can't have like uh waffling on this point , you know .ProjectManager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Really have {disfmarker} It needs to be able y y have to be able to find it . Because one of the biggest problems withremote controls is finding them . So uh , I also , since we have to establish our corporate image on the basis of this new product , thought we better look at thingsthat are popular and um ex go beyond those , and , as I said in the first meeting , um {vocalsound} and then uh we might wanna talk eventually about thematerials that are appropriate to use in uh in the construction , especially in the the uh the outside of the productProject Manager: {vocalsound}IndustrialDesigner: so that it gives the appearance , and it is reliable , and so forth . {vocalsound} I did a little history on uh the the uh remote controls and when theywere invented and so forth , so , I guess this guy Zenith uh created the Flashmatic , which I kinda like the idea , 'cause it made me think of um um maybe theremote control made a big flash when uh you turn the T_V_ on and off , that might be interesting . And um {vocalsound} so it was highly directional flash lightthat uh you could turn the picture on and off , and the sound on and off , and change channels c so I think um those are still requirements we have today , uhfifty years later .Project Manager: {vocalsound}User Interface: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: And uh it was really a pioneering innovation , but it was uhsensitive to the sun , so that uh it would get {disfmarker} would start off by the {disfmarker} you'd get {disfmarker} it would easily cause um problems . So , uhI {disfmarker} in addition to uh looking at the um {vocalsound} uh the functional requir so all these devices are examples of where uh mm {disfmarker} they{vocalsound} represent examples that are available today {vocalsound} {vocalsound} which I think the one in the middle is r um really uh something to keep inmind .Marketing: Fantastic . {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound} {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: It'd be easy to find . And um it would uh y you'd{vocalsound} {disfmarker} you could throw it at things if if the T_V_ didn't turn on and off , you could use it for something else . And since I'm not really um{vocalsound} Industrial Designer , I didn't really know what to do with this slide . But um {vocalsound} I just {vocalsound} took some {vocalsound} different uhschematics and I put them into this , and I guess this is what a slide might look like if you were drawing a circuit board . {gap} I don't know why um we wereasked to do this . So , uh {vocalsound} personal preferences , {vocalsound} umUser Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: I think we could uh I I'm reallythinking outside the box here , and I think that we should consider perhaps having an an an a a size uh {vocalsound} {disfmarker} a remote control that changesin size depending on the user preference .User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: So something that's very very flexible and inflatable and then youcould shrink it . I think um it could either be {disfmarker} you could go either one extreme , be very colourful , or you could make it clear , and um kind of blendin with things , so you didn't have to um {vocalsound} uh have a problem with the th the decoration of the {disfmarker} of the user's home . Um I think uh itneeds to be waterproof , because uh sometimes they fall into cupsProject Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: and , you know , it might be out by theswimming pool or something like that . Um {vocalsound} if you uh mi one of {disfmarker} one of my requirements was about needs t to tell you when it's doneits job or not , because half the time , I keep pushing on the remote control , and I don't know if it's actually understood my message , so I think it should giveyou some sort of an oral cue . And uh , course I never wanna replace the battery . {vocalsound} So ,Marketing: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: that's{disfmarker} those are my f preferences , and that's my presentation .Project Manager: Yeah , let me uh interrupt you uh if you can add other facility , otherfeature , like uh unbreakable .Industrial Designer: Yes .Project Manager: Okay , because uh especially today , you know , you have the family and the kids ,UserInterface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: okay , and the kids throw it and they they play with their remotes and {gap} .Industrial Designer: Run over it with a car.Project Manager: Yes . Okay , so if you can add the feature , okay , for your uh fabric whatever in your outline design okay , with unbreakable , okay , I thinkthat will give a lot of advantage for our product , if I'm not wrong . Maybe you can uh add it in that .Industrial Designer: Good idea . Good idea , I'll I'll uh um{disfmarker} Yes , very good .Project Manager: Okay , uh thank you Christine , and uh uh any questions or uh clarifications , or any discussion on the functionaldesign ?User Interface: Do you have any preconceived ideas in terms of materials ? 'Cause , for example , in the unbreakable thing , doing something plasticwould be harder ,Industrial Designer: Hmm .User Interface: whereas having something like , I dunno , steel or titanium isn't really economically viable .{vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Titanium . Titanium would be {vocalsound} be heavy , too ,Marketing: Titanium . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: wouldn't it?User Interface: Yeah .Industrial Designer: No , I haven't really um {disfmarker} I wanted feedback , I think we need to rate {disfmarker} rank these , but we'llsee what your uh personal preferences are and your thoughts .User Interface: Yeah .

+{"doc_id":"doc_155","qid":"","text":"Lynne Neagle AM: Okay. Good morning, everyone. Welcome to the Children, Young People and Education Committee. We've received apologies for absence fromSuzy Davies and Jack Sargeant and I'm very pleased to welcome Jayne Bryant back, who is substituting for Jack today. Are there any declarations of interestfrom Members, please? No. Okay, thank you. Item 2, then, this morning, is our sixth scrutiny session on the Children (Abolition of Defence of ReasonablePunishment) (Wales) Bill. I'm very pleased to welcome our witnesses this morning: Sally Jenkins, who is chair of All Wales Heads of Children’s Services and ishere representing the Association of Directors of Social Services; Alastair Birch, who is senior system leader for equalities and safeguarding at PembrokeshireCounty Council, who is here representing the Association of Directors of Education Wales; and Councillor Huw David, who is the Welsh Local GovernmentAssociation spokesperson for health and social care and leader of Bridgend County Borough Council. So, thank you all for attending this morning. We're verypleased to have you here. We've got a lot of ground to cover, so, if you're happy, we'll go straight into questions and I'll start just by asking about your generalsupport for the Bill, which is outlined in the evidence. Can you just explain why you think the current law is ineffective or unclear?Alastair Birch: Bore da—bore da,bawb. So, I'm Alastair Birch. The statement, really, from ADEW is that the rights of the child should be educated and achieved, really, under the United NationsConvention on the Rights of the Child. The current legislation has been criticised, obviously, by the UN concerning the defence of reasonable punishment stillbeing within our current legislation. So, we will always—ADEW will always—advocate that the rights of the child be upheld, so that is really the fundamentalaspect in terms of the statement from ADEW, and the position of ADEW is that the rights of the child are fundamental in this process. And there are certainarticles—. I know that the Rights of Children and Young Persons (Wales) Measure 2011 made sure that article 3 and article 4, article 12 and article 37 were afocus in terms of making sure that the best interests of the child were put first, that children expressing their views and opinions was a priority. And we know, forsafeguarding purposes, that the express opinions of the child and the voice of the child are a fundamental aspect of any safe environment, whether it be a schoolor college. So, that is—the position is really following that legal position under the Rights of Children and Young Persons (Wales) Measure.Lynne Neagle AM: Okay,thank you. Nothing to add at this stage, no?Sally Jenkins: I'll just add, on behalf of ADSS and on behalf of children's services and social services more widely, forus, this is not a change in our position, this is not new; this is a position that we, on behalf of the leaders of social services across Wales, have taken over manyyears, going back 20, 25 years. I think what we would say is that we really welcome this Bill and we welcome the proposed change for the clarity it wouldbring—the clarity that it would bring for children, for parents and for professionals. I think what we would recognise is that this is a very little-used piece oflegislation, so it's rare, it's not as if this is something that is going to cast great change across the scene for children and families in Wales, but what it will do isrepresent a change in the reality of how we care and nurture our children. I would echo absolutely what Alastair has said in terms of the rights of the child, butequally, in terms of all of our policies in Wales in terms of promoting well-being for children, this has to be key. So, for us, this is about a natural progression ofchange in how we care for our children in Wales. For children's services at the very sharp end of this world, for us, it brings a true clarity. This continues with anambiguity in how we treat our children and how we care for our children, and the shift for us brings that very much needed clarity.Lynne Neagle AM: Okay, thankyou. The committee has already heard different views about whether there's clear evidence that physical punishment is harmful to children. What evidence doesthe work of social services provide about whether physical punishment is actually harmful?Sally Jenkins: Obviously, what you'll all be aware of is that, as part ofthe consultation for this Bill, the Public Policy Institute did a further piece of research to look at the impact of physical punishment on children. A number of thingsthat we know—we know from across the world that the evidence is that introducing legislation or changing legislation in this way improves children's positionswithin their families. What we know is that children themselves, as Alastair has already referred to, really find physical punishment demeaning and harmful, andfor children it is an emotionally damaging experience. Now, there may be disagreement about that, there will be different views on that, but that's the voice of thechild in this debate. The voice of the child is very clear that physical punishment is for them harmful. I think what we would also say is that, in the world that wework in, it's part of a continuum, and, whilst this is an element of how children are cared for, what we see is a continuum where an acceptance of how we treatchildren in a particular way perpetuates throughout our work. By changing this, it helps that shift to that absolute recognition that our children must be cared forin a way that is physically safe in all dimensions for them.Lynne Neagle AM: Okay, thank you. We've had evidence from the equal protection network that thereasonable punishment defence undermines child protection and fails to protect children because it permits an arbitrary level of violence, which invades children'sphysical integrity, making it a potential pathway to more serious physical or sexual abuse, and you did refer to that just now. Is there anything you want to addon that?Sally Jenkins: I would echo that. I think there is something in this that is about our culture, about how we see our children. It is about how we see oursmallest and most vulnerable people, and if it is acceptable it opens the door to those other, more extreme versions of violence, which then complicates the issuefor us. This is about clarity, and, whilst there is an argument that this is a small episode for a child, it's not a small episode for a child, it is a major episode for achild, and I think absolutely, as you said, the potential for it then to lead on, and over gradation and time to increase the risk for children, is clearly there.LynneNeagle AM: Okay, thank you. The final question from me: your written evidence emphasises the need for greater clarity around the definition of what constitutescorporal punishment, but that contrasts with what we've been told by the children's commissioner and the equal protection network, who've emphasised theimportance of simplicity in the Bill. How do you respond to that view, and is what you're calling for essential to be on the face of the Bill?Sally Jenkins: It's notessential for it to be on the face of the Bill. What we would like to see is discussion within the implementation phase for that nuancing. Absolutely agree in termsof simplicity—I think that is really important—and I've already mentioned clarity. What we don't want to do is further confuse the position. We know that thelegislation in different countries has done that, and there are ways that you can do it, but what we would welcome is an opportunity during the implementationphase for discussion.Lynne Neagle AM: Okay. Thank you.Huw David: And, as a principle, obviously we would welcome full involvement, and we know there's thecommitment from Welsh Government to full involvement in the implementation, because, as with every piece of legislation, implementation is the most importantpart, and we would want to ensure there is that commitment to a major awareness-raising campaign, and there is that from Welsh Government, because we needto take families, carers and parents with us on this. Also we need to ensure that there is that support available to parents and carers that do sometimes strugglewith parenting, and that needs to be a universal offer across Wales. If we're to progress with this, that has to be an option that is offered to every parent inWales.Lynne Neagle AM: Okay. Thank you.Sally Jenkins: Local authorities have already been very heavily involved in terms of looking at this Bill and exploringwhat the issues are and the discussions and looking at what the implications from a local authority perspective will be, as Huw describes, both in terms of theawareness raising, early support and intervention and prevention services for families against the backdrop of the current issues that we have in localgovernment, but also awareness raising—because absolutely it is key that families come with us on this journey. This is not an imposition. This is embracing aculture and a value system for our children.Lynne Neagle AM: Okay, thank you. I've got some questions now from Dawn Bowden on the implementation of theBill.Dawn Bowden AM: Thank you, Chair. So, you've pre-empted me, Huw.Huw David: Right. Sorry. I've got good eyesight; I can't see—. [Laughter.]DawnBowden AM: You've already said, obviously, that you're looking towards working with Welsh Government in terms of its implementation. What's been your role sofar in terms of the implementation of the Bill—local authorities generally, now? Have you had a role? Has Welsh Government been involving you in discussionsaround the introduction of the Bill so far?Huw David: Yes. So, obviously we were consulted—a key consultee—but also our officials have worked very closely withWelsh Government officials to make sure this is implemented successfully, if it is progressed.Sally Jenkins: Our involvement with this, from a social servicesperspective, goes back over two years, directly in working towards this point, never mind the history in terms of work towards this area. But, very directly inrelation to this Bill, we were first involved at least two years ago, to recollect, and that was in a series of workshops with other agencies, for example Children andFamily Court Advisory and Support Service Cymru and the police, and looking in real depth at what the implications would be for us as agencies to look at whatthe likely trajectory would be in terms of our pathways for referral into our services and what that might mean for us. And then particularly, for example, withCAFCASS Cymru in relation to private law, what the fallout might be, and then what, if anything—and that's the discussion that we need to have—that couldmean for children's services in particular, given the pressures that we're already under. So, we've been in constant, I suppose, involvement in terms of the Billalready, as part of the consultation, in terms of the focus groups and in terms of direct work with Welsh Government officials to take this forward. And we areabsolutely committed to continuing with that work.Dawn Bowden AM: Okay. You touched there on the pressures that you're already under, which we fullyappreciate, but you also mentioned in answers to Lynne Neagle earlier on that you welcomed the Bill in terms of its clarity. So, are you confident that the Bill canbe implemented without any major impact on your capacity to deal with it?Sally Jenkins: We've done—. A number of local authorities—my own included, Newport"}

And additionally we{disfmarker} we already have a lot of data that 's been collected with that , so .PhD B: Yeah .Professor A: A simple thing to do is he {disfmarker} he{disfmarker} he has a {disfmarker} I forget if it {disfmarker} this was in that mail or in the following mail , but he has a {disfmarker} a simple filter , a digitalfilter that he suggested . We just run over the data before we deal with it .PhD B: Mm - hmm .Professor A: um The other thing that I don't know the answer to ,but when people are using Feacalc here , uh whether they 're using it with the high - pass filter option or not . And I don't know if anybody knows .Grad E: Um .{vocalsound} I could go check .Professor A: But . Yeah . So when we 're doing all these things using our software there is {disfmarker} um if it 's {disfmarker} ifit 's based on the RASTA - PLP program , {vocalsound} which does both PLP and RASTA - PLP {vocalsound} um then {vocalsound} uh there is an option therewhich then comes up through to Feacalc which {vocalsound} um allows you to do high - pass filtering and in general we like to do that , because of things likethis and {vocalsound} it 's {disfmarker} it 's pretty {disfmarker} it 's not a very severe filter . Doesn't affect speech frequencies , even pretty low speechfrequencies , at all , but it 'sPhD B: What 's the {pause} cut - off frequency it used ?Professor A: Oh . I don't know I wrote this a while agoPhD B: Is it like twenty?Professor A: Something like that .PhD B: Yeah .Professor A: Yeah . I mean I think there 's some effect above twenty but it 's {disfmarker} it 's {disfmarker} it 's{disfmarker} it 's mild . So , I mean it probably {disfmarker} there 's probably some effect up to a hundred hertz or something but it 's {disfmarker} it 's prettymild . I don't know in the {disfmarker} in the STRUT implementation of the stuff is there a high - pass filter or a pre pre - emphasis or something in the{disfmarker}PhD F: Uh . I think we use a pre - emphasis . Yeah . Yeah .Professor A: So . We {disfmarker} we {disfmarker} we want to go and check that in i foranything that we 're going to use the P D A mike for . {vocalsound} uh He says that there 's a pretty good roll off in the PZM mikes so {vocalsound} we don'tneed {disfmarker} need to worry about them one way or the other but if we do make use of the cheap mikes , {vocalsound} uh we want to be sure to do that{disfmarker} that filtering before we {vocalsound} process it . And then again if it 's uh depending on the option that the {disfmarker} our {disfmarker} oursoftware is being run with , it 's {disfmarker} it 's quite possible that 's already being taken care of . uh But I also have to pick a different picture to show theeffects of reverberation . uhPhD B: Did somebody notice it during your talk ?Professor A: uh No .PhD B: Huh .Professor A: Well . uh Well . If they made outputthey were {disfmarker} they were , you know {disfmarker} they were nice .PhD B: Didn't say anything ?Professor A: But . {vocalsound} I mean the thing is itwas since I was talking about reverberation and showing this thing that was noise , it wasn't a good match , but it certainly was still uh an indication of the factthat you get noise with distant mikes . uh It 's just not a great example because not only isn't it reverberation but it 's a noise that we definitely know what to do.PhD B: Mm - hmm .Professor A: So , I mean , it doesn't take deep {disfmarker} {vocalsound} a new {disfmarker} bold new methods to get rid of uh five hertznoise , so .PhD B: Yeah .Professor A: um {vocalsound} uh But . So it was {disfmarker} it was a bad example in that way , but it 's {disfmarker} it still is{disfmarker} it 's the real thing that we did get out of the microphone at distance , so it wasn't {vocalsound} it w it w wasn't wrong it was inappropriate . So .{vocalsound} So uh , but uh , Yeah , someone noticed it later pointed it out to me , and I went \" oh , man . Why didn't I notice that ? \"PhD B: Hmm .Professor A:um . So . {vocalsound} um So I think we 'll change our {disfmarker} our picture on the web , when we 're @ @ . One of the things I was {disfmarker} I mean , Iwas trying to think about what {disfmarker} what 's the best {vocalsound} way to show the difference an and I had a couple of thoughts one was , {vocalsound}that spectrogram that we show {vocalsound} is O K , but the thing is {vocalsound} the eyes uh and the {vocalsound} the brain behind them are so good atpicking out patterns {vocalsound} from {disfmarker} from noise {vocalsound} that in first glance you look at them it doesn't seem like it 's that bad uh becausethere 's many features that are still preserved . So one thing to do might be to just take a piece of the spec uh of the spectrogram where you can see{vocalsound} that something looks different , an and blow it up , and have that be the part that 's {disfmarker} just to show as well . You know .PhD B: Mm -hmm . Mm - hmm .Professor A: i i Some things are going to be hurt . um {vocalsound} Another , I was thinking of was um {vocalsound} taking some spectralslices , like uh {disfmarker} like we look at with the recognizer , and look at the spectrum or cepstrum that you get out of there , and the {disfmarker} the uh ,um , {vocalsound} the reverberation uh does make it {disfmarker} does change that . And so maybe {disfmarker} maybe that would be more obvious .PhD B:Hmm .Grad C: Spectral slices ?Professor A: Yeah .Grad C: W w what d what do you mean ?Professor A: Well , I mean um all the recognizers look at frames . Sothey {disfmarker} they look at {disfmarker}PhD B: So like one instant in time .Professor A: Yeah , look at a {disfmarker}Grad C: OK .Professor A: So it 's , yeah, at one point in time or uh twenty {disfmarker} over twenty milliseconds or something , {vocalsound} you have a spectrum or a cepstrum .Grad C: OK.Professor A: That 's what I meant by a slice .Grad C: I see .Professor A: Yeah . And {vocalsound} if you look at {disfmarker}PhD B: You could just {disfmarker}you could just throw up , you know , uh {vocalsound} the uh {disfmarker} some MFCC feature vectors . You know , one from one , one from the other , and then, you know , you can look and see how different the numbers are .Professor A: Right . Well , that 's why I saying either {vocalsound} {vocalsound} Well , eitherspectrum or cepstrumPhD B: I 'm just kidding .Professor A: but {disfmarker} {vocalsound} but I think the thing is you wanna {disfmarker} PhD B: I don't meana graph . I mean the actual numbers .Professor A: Oh . I see . Oh . That would be lovely , yeah .PhD B: Yeah . \" See how different these {vocalsound} sequencesof numbers are ? \"Professor A: Yeah . Or I could just add them up and get a different total .PhD B: Yeah . It 's not the square .Professor A: OK . Uh . What else{disfmarker} wh what 's {disfmarker} what else is going on ?PhD F: Uh , yeah . Yeah , at first I had a remark why {disfmarker} I am wondering why the PDA isalways so far . I mean we are always meeting at the {vocalsound} beginning of the table and {vocalsound} the PDA 's there .Professor A: Uh . I guess cuz wehaven't wanted to move it . We {disfmarker} we could {disfmarker} {vocalsound} we could move us ,PhD F: Yeah ?Professor A: and .PhD F: OK .Grad E: That 'sright .PhD F: Well , anyway . Um . Yeah , so . Uh . Since the last meeting we 've {disfmarker} we 've tried to put together um {vocalsound} the clean low - passum downsampling , upsampling , I mean , Uh the new filter that 's replacing the LDA filters , and also {vocalsound} the um delay issue so that {disfmarker} Weconsidered th the {disfmarker} the delay issue on the {disfmarker} for the on - line normalization . Mmm . So we 've put together all this and then we haveresults that are not um {vocalsound} {vocalsound} very impressive . Well , there is no {vocalsound} real improvement .Professor A: But it 's not wer worse andit 's better {disfmarker} better latency ,PhD F: It 's not {disfmarker}Professor A: right ?PhD F: Yeah . Yeah . Well . Actually it 's better . It seems better when welook at the mismatched case but {vocalsound} I think we are like {disfmarker} like cheated here by the {disfmarker} th this problem that {vocalsound} uh insome cases when you modify slight {disfmarker} slightly modify the initial condition you end up {vocalsound} completely somewhere air somewhere else in the{disfmarker} in the space , {vocalsound} the parameters .Professor A: Yeah .PhD F: So . Well . The other system are for instance . For Italian is at seventy -eight {vocalsound} percent recognition rate on the mismatch , and this new system has eighty - nine . But I don't think it indicates something , really . I don't{disfmarker} I don't think it means that the new system is more robustProfessor A: Uh - huh .PhD F: or {disfmarker} It 's simply the fact that {disfmarker} Well.Professor A: Well , the test would be if you then tried it on one of the other test sets , if {disfmarker} if it was {disfmarker}PhD F: YProfessor A: Right . So thiswas Italian , right ?PhD F: Yeah . Yeah .Professor A: So then if you take your changesPhD F: It 's similar for other test setsProfessor A: and then {disfmarker}PhDF: but I mean {vocalsound} from this se seventy - eight um percent recognition rate system , {vocalsound} I could change the transition probabilities for the{disfmarker} the first HMM and {pause} it will end up to eighty - nine also .Professor A: Uh - huh .PhD F: By using point five instead of point six , point four{vocalsound} as in the {disfmarker} the HTK script .Professor A: Uh - huh .

Hmm .Project Manager: {vocalsound} Screwed in quite tightly . Uh what did {disfmarker} uh how did we leave itwith speech recognition now ? We {disfmarker} did we say we were gonna try {disfmarker} maybe incorporate it but we hadn't made a definite decision on that?Industrial Designer: Mm-hmm .Project Manager: Right . Oh I should also point out that um the you know the kind of final objective of this meeting is to reach adecision on the concepts of the product .Marketing: Okay . {vocalsound}Project Manager: So um {vocalsound} that's kind of the end result hopefully .Marketing:Okay . Um alright so c is it function F_ eight ?Project Manager: {vocalsound} Uh-huh . Hopefully appear in a wee second .Marketing: Hmm . Come on . I think it'sworking .Project Manager: Up there we go .Marketing: Okay great s so let me just start this . {vocalsound} Okay great . So um {vocalsound} uh s move on .Uh-huh {disfmarker} oh where'd it all go ?Project Manager: {vocalsound} Oh no .Marketing: It's not good . Okay lemme just see where I can find it . This looksmore like it . I think I just opened up the template .Project Manager: Oh right .Marketing: Sorry about that . Okay alright so let's have a look here .ProjectManager: Here we go .Marketing: Okay so this was the method that um I've taken . Uh basically what I wanna do here , before we get into it uh too far , is I wantto show you all the background information I have that I think we need to acknowledge if we want this to be successful .Project Manager: Okay .Marketing: Anduh and then sorta g go through some of the way that I've dealt with that information , and then sort of bring us all together into it to see {disfmarker} sorta seehow this fits in with the overall vision . Um so I've tried to take a whole lot of market research and summarise it for us , and then ide identify uh trends that areare sort of in sync and are important to our our uh p project plan that we have so far , and then uh initiate a kind of discussion on design options so that it sortahelps us to to narrow in on on aspects that will inform other uh other elements of the of the project . Does that make sense , tha that sort of strategy ?IndustrialDesigner: Yep .Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Marketing: I thought that that will impact on the rest of what we do , so that's why I suggested we get in this .ProjectManager: Aye a fair point definitely .Marketing: Okay so out of um different uh figures and ratings ob uh of people in general , um consumers in general , thenumber one thing that was found was that uh the br t television remote control , a fancy look and feel , okay , and not , it specified , not a functional look or orfeel , uh b f f fancy .Project Manager: Okay .Marketing: Um however , this is where we kinda have to be very , I think , creative about it . Number two was that itbe innovative . Okay so that tells me that we have to find a way to be innovative without a adding just unnecessary um sort of functional bits to it . Uh and thirdpriority uh for ease of use , so again that kind of gives us a general picture of how it has to be , um {vocalsound} quite user friendly while still having technology .So it {disfmarker} I'll just say right away as a bit of a foreshadowing into how we proceed with this in terms of m marketing , is that I think um {vocalsound}what we should think about is how the um {vocalsound} about how the innovation uh contributes to the look and feel , and not so much to the functionality of it.Project Manager: {vocalsound} Aye right .Marketing: For example like when you pick it up and push it like it all lights up or something , you know what I mean ,like , or it's got something else to it that just seems innovativeProject Manager: Uh-huh .Marketing: because obviously the thing that {disfmarker} the messagehere is ease of use . So how do you make innovation make something more {vocalsound} more easy to use ? Well that's I guess where we're gonna go with this.Project Manager: Okay .Marketing: Okay then there's the other aspect of the back the the market um research I have here is on fashion style , okay , which aswe've agreed is a priority . Uh top European fashion trend um {vocalsound} that I read about says there's this emerging theme of fruit and vegetables , okay,Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound}Marketing: especially in clothes and furniture . And when I first saw that I thought hmm , welldo we want to actually try and think about this trend and how we add something to it , or we get right into it , or we completely steer away from it ,ProjectManager: Okay okay .Marketing: do you know what I mean ? So my my feeling is that we w do want to observe this trend , but we want to think also about thefact that it sort of has to fit in with something which is not specifically electronics . Um 'cause I think what we're in what we're in is partly sort of home decor ,partly something like a computer , um {vocalsound} so I think we might wanna be careful about how you know how quickly we create like a remote control in theshape of an apple or something ,Project Manager: {vocalsound}Marketing: I think that would be pushing it .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: Andthen in terms of m material trends are for things to be soft and spongy and sort of , you might say ergonomic or or friendly to handle , which is {disfmarker}which also in indicated that last year this was this was not the case . So um probably a lot of the competition on the market will be still in last year's mode , so ifwe try and really capitalise on that , I think that'll be in our favour . Um {disfmarker} So these this is the summary of everything . Um style is number one uhthing in the in the market of who we're selling to . Uh innovative design technology's also a must in that it's seen {disfmarker} it'd be seen to be uh cutting edge ,uh but ease of use t has to be insured throughout . That was like the number three thing . And then at the end there are vibrant natural colours um that's the wayI interpreted it anyway , softness in materials , shape , and function , and so I've written at written at the bottom to give us sort of a context of discussion , MaciPods ,Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Marketing: something which is , I'd have to say very high-tech , ten gigabytes , whatever , but when you hold it in your handthere's like no buttons .Project Manager: Mm that's true , yeah .Marketing: You know what a Mac iPod is ? I'm thinking however Mac iPod is sort of last year'sbecause it's very hard and sort of glassy and glossy , so I'm thinking if we imagine that we're taking some of the features of a Mac iPod and we're then making it smore of like a more of like a comfortable type of {disfmarker} or more of like a {disfmarker} {vocalsound} maybe more vibrant to friendly thing to have . Umand then so this is w with all that information what I'm what I'm suggesting in this slide here is that we we take these ideas , and as we get into more the moreum {vocalsound} techni like sort of production side of things , that we think about shape , materials , and themes or series that go throughout . Sort of like a{disfmarker} I dunno like um we think of some kind of a thin theme that unifies it all , that we agree on , uh sorta like a marketing identity . Um {disfmarker}Does that make sense ? Yeah . So {vocalsound} so like I threw out a few ideas there just to kinda get us thinking along those lines like lemon , lime , I dunno ,green colours , pe whatever , it's just an idea , 'cause I'm thinking that some of these ideas will seem quite coherent if we use them in terms of their {disfmarker}what people associate this {disfmarker} them with in terms of texture , shape , colours , things like that .Project Manager: Mm 'kay . Great .Marketing: Like umthe ones the ones which I'm most fond of in terms of giving like a theme to it would be like um like lemon or something like that , you know something which is ,like you see a lot in in other areas . Like I see lots of websites and things that seem to associate with like lemon and lime and {disfmarker}Project Manager: Okay.Marketing: So anyway it's just just an idea .Project Manager: Yeah .Marketing: I'm thinking maybe we could incorporate some of these features into a fairly um{disfmarker} {vocalsound} into something which is {disfmarker} which seems to have something to it which is almost gimmicky because like um like somethingto do with like lighting within it . Like you know just within the simple sense , when you pick up a phone and touch a button it uh lights up , q usually the buttonslight up .Project Manager: Ah .Marketing: How can we build on that ? Maybe like it could light up in different colours or something or or people could buy the buythe control and then it comes with different like covers or something so .Project Manager: Okay .Marketing: Anyway those are {disfmarker} that's all I have,Project Manager: That's great .Marketing: but uh hopefully we can we can revisit those ideas when we get into {disfmarker}Project Manager: Uh-huh . Okaygreat .Marketing: {gap}Project Manager: Um thank you for that . Uh Craig do you wannaMarketing: Yep .Project Manager: uh plug yours in then ?User Interface:Is it working ?Project Manager: {vocalsound} Mm . Not quite .Marketing: Did you press F_ eight ?Industrial Designer: It's probably not sending . Yeah .Project"}
+{"doc_id":"doc_158","qid":"","text":"Lynne Neagle AM: Good morning, everyone. Welcome to the Children, Young People and Education Committee. We've received apologies for absence from JulieMorgan, and I'm very pleased to welcome David Rees, who is substituting for her today. Can I ask Members whether there are any declarations of interest,please? No. Okay. Thank you very much. Item 2 this morning, then, is a session with the Minister for Children and Social Care on the Welsh Government'schildcare offer. So, I'm very pleased to welcome Huw Irranca-Davies, Minister for Children and Social Care, also Jo-Anne Daniels, director for communities andtackling poverty, and Owain Lloyd, deputy director for childcare, play and early years. So, thank you, all, for your attendance. If you're happy, we'll go straightinto questions from Members, and the first questions come from Hefin David.Hefin David AM: Good morning, Minister. How has it gone in the early implementerlocal authority areas, and is it something of a mixed bag?Huw Irranca-Davies AM: It's gone well, but I'm glad we've done it through this process of earlyimplementer, actually piloting it, because we're learning lessons as we go along. It has gone well. It's been encouraging, to the extent that we're at the pointwhere we're expanding—we've made announcements on expanding some of the early implementer areas so we can learn more lessons. But, in terms of whatwe're learning, one is the bureaucracy around the current approach that we're taking, because it's being done on the seven early implementers. So, we're askingparents to come in, provide their wage slips, provide the birth certificates, and so on. You're dealing sometimes with parents and families with complex issues andcomplex backgrounds, so it's difficult. And the burden of administration on that is falling to each pilot area. In one case, it's a whole authority, but it's onlyone—that's in Blaenau Gwent. In others, it's smaller areas. So, we're also hitting those—. The other big challenge we're hitting is communication. So, we'rehaving parents, generally, who are outside the areas entirely saying, 'Why haven't we got this yet? Can we please get into it?', which is encouraging. But theother thing we're having is people who are within pilot authorities, where it doesn't extend to the whole authority, saying, 'Well, hold on now, we think we qualifyfor something under universal care, we think we qualify for something on tax credits. Why don't we qualify for this?' 'Well, you're not in the pilot area.' So, we'relearning about these things, but the biggest one, I have to say, is the administrative burden, and I think that's interesting in how we take this forward for a widerroll-out.Hefin David AM: What is the administrative burden? What specifically is that?Huw Irranca-Davies AM: It is that sheer burden on each local authority, andeach pilot area, to administer a scheme where we are asking parents to prove eligibility, to bring in documents to prove their eligibility, to make adjustments as itgoes forward based on what their changing work patterns are, what their salary slips say. It's incredibly bureaucratic. So, yesterday, when we made thestatement following the announcement of the introduction of the Childcare Funding (Wales) Bill, we made clear that our preferred option, as put within thatframework Bill, is actually to build on, and to learn from the lessons as well, the model of the HM Revenue and Customs type of model, where you actuallyhave—and this, by the way, is supported by local authority providers out there—one system that is a centralised system, where there is clarity, that is handled,that has elements of information sharing between Government departments, such as the Department for Work and Pensions, and so on, so that the work is donefor the parents, and the work is done for the local authorities; much cleaner, much simpler.Hefin David AM: How confident are you that you can achieve that by2020?Huw Irranca-Davies AM: We are very confident. But, as I say, I'm more confident in the fact that we're actually piloting it, and phasing this in, because Ithink we've learned from some of the experiences elsewhere, including just over the border in England, where they have a different version of a childcare offer,but they've gone for it in a big-bang approach. And it has led to technical issues, it's led to volume issues, where their anticipation of how many people would buyinto it was overwhelmed by the numbers who actually then came forward for it, and the complexity, I have to say, of individual family situations, whereas whatwe are doing, Hefin, is taking this forward very, very carefully. Each roll-out, each expansion that we're doing of the pilot is not—and I know this has caused somepeople to come back and say, 'Why can't we all have it now?' It's because we're only rolling out to areas where we now need to learn a lesson about whether it'srurality or, as it will be within densely urban areas, where the cost might be slightly higher, and that's allowing us to have the confidence that we'll have it. We'veexpanded the whole offer across Gwynedd—the whole of Gwynedd, Anglesey and Caerphilly. Flintshire now have a cross-authority offer. Rhondda Cynon Taf isanticipating doing this by September. Swansea is planning to do it, they tell us, in due course—in short order—as well. So, we have the confidence now that, withthat learning going on from different pilot areas, we'll have the full roll-out by 2020.Hefin David AM: Is it true to say that, in the early adopter areas, the intensityof demand for the services is not spread evenly across?Huw Irranca-Davies AM: Absolutely.Hefin David AM: And why is that? Is that going to cause a problemacross Wales?Huw Irranca-Davies AM: No, it won't cause a problem. If we were doing this tomorrow, it would cause a problem, but what we're learning isthat there are some economic issues and then there are some cultural issues. So ,there are issues to do with—. It's not capacity, by the way. We're not finding aproblem here with capacity, whether it's in English language provision or whether it's in Welsh language provision, whether it's in children with complex needs,we're not finding that as an issue. But what we are finding is, for example, one of the well-known ones—and I've spoken about this before—is that, in some of thesouth Wales Valleys constituencies, there is a family tradition of doing childcare within the families. I've done it myself. Grandparents, aunts, uncles and so onprovide free, unregistered, unlicensed childcare of a sort. Now that isn't what the scheme is about, by the way, I have to say. So, some of the aspects arecultural, but what we're also doing alongside this, whilst looking at the capacity and looking at how we learnt from the pilot roll-out, is that communicationwith parents and providers and local authorities as well. So, we have a whole programme running alongside it. It's about communicating what the offer is,how simple it is to get invovled in this and where they go to, and, critically, I think, how we do that national roll-out would be important as well.Hefin David AM:So, given the point you've made about grandparents and family, wouldn't it be sensible, then, to offer a subsidy to grandparents to provide this kind of care?HuwIrranca-Davies AM: Unregistered grandparents?Hefin David AM: Well, through some kind of analysis of that.Huw Irranca-Davies AM: Well, we don't think so andthere are good reasons behind this.Hefin David AM: Is it because you say that they wouldn't be registered as carers for their own family member?HuwIrranca-Davies AM: Yes, but there's a deeper reason behind that registration as well. The childcare offer isn't only to just provide childcare; it's the wideraspects that come with this. This childcare offer ties into the foundation years offer. There's an element of education linked to the childcare offer—there's that10 hours of the early education foundation years as well. The two tie together. So, there's an issue here with quality, about socialisation and how children learn inan environment, as opposed to purely—as great as all our grandparents and aunts and uncles are—simply child-minding. That's one important distinction. So,the focus of this scheme is very much on registered licensed providers, which could be, by the way—because we do have them, and we're discussing this at themoment internally and with the Professional Association for Childcare and Early Years and others—grandparents who are actually registered and inspected by thecare inspectorate? We're having those discussions.Hefin David AM: How many of them are there?Huw Irranca-Davies AM: We don't think there is a huge number,but we're trying to bottom this out at the moment. We haven't got the exact number, but we don't think they are huge numbers, but there are, in ourconstituencies, registered, licensed, inspected grandparents who look after other people's children in a little group of four or five or six or seven, but also theirown grandchildren.Hefin David AM: So, they're a kind of grandparents club.Huw Irranca-Davies AM: Yes. Now that, I would say to you—and I know that Darrenraised this on the floor yesterday as well—is markedly different in the nature of it, because it's registered and licensed, than simply informal grandparents oraunts or uncles. I say that as well because we also get people who will say to us, 'I don't want to be paid for looking after my grandchildren; I look after mygrandchildren because I look after them'.Hefin David AM: And what about the view, given that you said that capacity wasn't an issue, of the National DayNurseries Association, which says that Wales has the most fragile childcare sector in Great Britain?Huw Irranca-Davies AM: I don't agree we have the mostfragile, but the childcare offer gives us an opportunity to make it more resilient and more robust. We know from the early piloting, and as we roll it out, that thereis the immense diversity within the childcare sector, and we're talking about everything from those very small terraced homes that have been licensed andregistered to take six or seven children, to large, complex environments that perhaps are on maintained premises within school premises, provided by a voluntaryor third sector organisation. So, there's immense complexity and we know that that differs across Wales, and we also know there's immense regional variation inthe scale and the type of childcare offer. What the roll-out allows us to do, backed by £60 million of capital money behind it, in terms of capital development ofchildcare facilities, backed by a 10-year workforce development plan for childcare—and bear in mind this is bolted in as part of our foundational economyapproach as well—that means, by 2020, we get to the point where we're putting the money into the capital development but also to the workforce development,because in some areas we're finding it's not to do with lack of provision and facilities, it's to do with lack of staff. In other areas, we're finding there are plenty ofstaff but not the adequate facilities. We've got to get it right.Hefin David AM: That's fair enough, but is it realistic to think that there's going to be capacity growthin the next two to three years to deliver the product? Is that realistic to think that that foundational sector can provide that level of staffing?Huw Irranca-DaviesAM: Yes, I think it is, absolutely, because, again, what we're finding is we've got several things going on at once in terms of how we monitor and assess the"}

Doesn't appear on the screen here.Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Right well {disfmarker}Project Manager: Oh .Industrial Designer: Wow . Amazing . It's working {vocalsound} .ProjectManager: Okay . Thank you . {vocalsound} Uh .Marketing: Hold that . Okay .Project Manager: Yes and you can put can clip it uh on your {disfmarker}Marketing:Okay . Mm .Project Manager: Somewhere . So , {vocalsound} good morning , everyone . Um {disfmarker} Welcome at uh {disfmarker} at the kick off meeting ofour uh latest project .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: I hope you all have been uh updated about it .Industrial Designer: Yeah .ProjectManager: Good .User Interface: So . Yes .Project Manager: So w we will try to structure this uh meeting with an a with an agenda uh as presented here . Um afterthe opening we will tr get acquainted to each other .User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: See what our roles are in this project . So , um {disfmarker}We have been provided with uh some uh w technical tools to uh {disfmarker} to communicate and to well , learn from each other's plans uh as I can say um so wwe will also try to uh to get acquainted to this tools so they are also new to me I don't know whether you worked with them before . Um then we will come to theuh to the to the actual project plan . You all know I hope {vocalsound} how it's about uh the uh new r remote control we are going going to design .Marketing:Mm-hmm .User Interface: Total .Project Manager: Uh then we will uh discuss uh , well , how it should be and uh {disfmarker} wh what uh what our new productshould look lite {disfmarker} like . And uh well then uh after some twenty five minutes I hope uh we can end this meeting . So . Um basically this is about a uh anew c remote control . Um {disfmarker} We {disfmarker} When you design a new product you of {disfmarker} uh you of course want it to be original . Be uh{disfmarker} we want to be distinguished , mm ? People uh want to uh when they look at the shelf want to think , well that's the product I I need . So it needs tobe trendy . I mean trendy is what people want , so then I w they will buy our product . But then , uh , it also should work uh user friendly and uh otherwisepeople uh uh well it will not be uh be rated very well in consumer uh articles and like that .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: So , the generaloutline of uh new project will be we first uh go through a functional design phase . Um {disfmarker} You all get uh um certain task uh in this uh in this phase anduh then we will meet again and uh discuss this functional design . And the same holds for the uh ph two phases uh after this , the conceptual design and afterthat a a more detailed design in which the the final project should get its definite shape . Alright , but first we will do some uh tool training . In all in front of youuh you see uh the uh notebooks and w uh n note blocks and we have here a a {disfmarker} a {disfmarker} a white-board .User Interface: WhiteboMarketing:Mm-hmm .Project Manager: And um well it should work uh {disfmarker} I've read it from my uh from some colleague that it should work with some kind oftoolbar . I didn't find out yet how it work , but maybe one of you did , so {disfmarker} Um {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Under documents in the sharedfolder . Okay .Project Manager: Yes . Do {disfmarker} Do we have to say something about that ? I I I'm not fully updated about this shared folder uh .IndustrialDesigner: Yeah , I guess we'll have a shared folder uh with documents that we can share . And uh , yeah .Project Manager: Yes well we will then find out ho howit works .Industrial Designer: Yes .Project Manager: Um . Well , this seems to me , yes , some computer program but I didn't find it yet . So , we'll come to thatlater . So , uh now we will try out the white-board we have here . So , I would suggest uh {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Each of us is going .Project Manager:Well , yes , um we uh we should try to t to draw on it and then well it should be smart some way . I {disfmarker} {vocalsound} I'm not really sure how this works, but {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Okay , shall I start ?Marketing: Mm . Yeah .Project Manager: Yes ,User Interface: Yeah ,Project Manager: a good idea Mael.User Interface: you can start it you know .Marketing: I think for us it's just like a normal whiteboard , but they'll be recording what we write down .IndustrialDesigner: So , iUser Interface: No they will record through that . There's a sensor over thereMarketing: Mm . Mm .User Interface: which is going to record thestrokes that you make .Marketing: But for us it's just like a normal whiteboard .Project Manager: Okay .User Interface: Yeah .Project Manager: 'Kay .UserInterface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: But it's {disfmarker}Marketing: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Actually , I think I cannot go with uh{disfmarker}Project Manager: You {disfmarker} you {disfmarker} D doesn't it work ? Maybe someo Maybe {disfmarker} maybe Anna , maybe you can start.Marketing: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: Yeah .Project Manager: Then he can maybe find out to get his cord right .Marketing: I have to draw .Project Manager:So um {disfmarker} L Why don't you draw uh {vocalsound} your favourite animal on on th on the white-board .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: Mmy {disfmarker} my favourite animal . {vocalsound} Sorry this is all tangled up here .Project Manager: Oh , I see uh {disfmarker}Marketing: That's better .UserInterface: Yeah .Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Yeah . Yes . Mm . So draw it . We will try to guess what it is . {vocalsound}Marketing: Mm-hmm .{vocalsound} I'm a very bad drawer .Project Manager: {vocalsound}Marketing: Weird . Um . You're not gonna be able to guess from my drawing . I'm a baddrawer . Okay .Project Manager: Mm .Marketing: They're ears , by the way .User Interface: 's a cat .Marketing: No . Um close though . Okay so {disfmarker} likea pet animal .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Okay .Marketing: {vocalsound} Like a cat .User Interface: Yeah .Project Manager: It's like a cat , so I guess it's acat . {vocalsound}Marketing: No , not a cat though .Project Manager: What is this now ?User Interface: Ah you forget about it .Industrial Designer: You're on theknife .User Interface: Yeah , uh I think it's fine . I just don't want to carry it off . Man , this wires , eh ? We need a wireless microphone .Industrial Designer:{vocalsound}User Interface: You know ? Pro specially we should next project we should take l like that .Marketing: Okay . So .Project Manager: So ,Marketing:It's not a cat ,Project Manager: that's the cat .Marketing: it's a dog .Project Manager: Oh .User Interface: So .Industrial Designer: Mael .Project Manager: It's adog .Marketing: Yes .Project Manager: So but that's also kind of cat ,User Interface: OhProject Manager: isn't it ?User Interface: the dog doesn't have a tail?Marketing: {vocalsound} It's got a tail then .Project Manager: B bo both predators .User Interface: Yeah , sure , yeah .Marketing: Yeah yeah .User Interface: Ithought so . The dogs have a tail .Marketing: So do cats .Project Manager: So , thank you . Uh d did you uh work out cord ?Industrial Designer:{vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: And you guessed cats without a tail . {vocalsound}User Interface: Yeah .Industrial Designer: Yeah , I thinkI will go without {disfmarker} without it ,Marketing: Okay .Project Manager: Okay .Industrial Designer: right ?User Interface: It'll still not extend , right ? It's notup to that .Marketing: Okay , there you go . So what favourite characteristics . Uh . Dogs are always friendly and loyal and fun . A horse ?User Interface: It's ahorse .Marketing: {vocalsound} This is why you're the designer . And I'm marketing . {vocalsound}Project Manager: Yes .

Um on the left we've got the scroll forthe volume , on the right we have buttons for the channels up and down and that kinda {disfmarker} so you can hold it and scroll , or you can hold it and andpush .Project Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Uh this is the power key , um it's kinda like the biggest so you know how to turn on .Project Manager:Uh-huh .Industrial Designer: Uh that's the little menu key . This is the infra-red section so you g it'll be sending rays and if you're you know pointing it like that itcan send it ,Project Manager: Yep ,Industrial Designer: or if you hold it up like that it'll send it .Project Manager: yeah , good , good .Industrial Designer: Uh wegot a microphone there which for all the voice commandsProject Manager: Uh-huh .Industrial Designer: so you can you know talk to it like thatProject Manager:Yep ,Industrial Designer: and it'll still understand .Project Manager: right .Industrial Designer: Um the logo is down down there umProject Manager: Uh-huh .UserInterface: Mm .Industrial Designer: and {gap} has the cover on itUser Interface: SIndustrial Designer: and you can see like it just kinda goes {disfmarker} thered bit's the cover and it kinda goes over everythingProject Manager: Yep , yep ,Industrial Designer: and then there's holes for the buttons to come through . Um.Project Manager: mm-hmm .User Interface: And so we figured it would be kind of you know a light weight plastic ,Project Manager: Uh-huh .Industrial Designer:Mm .User Interface: just kind of a light {vocalsound} non-descript greyProject Manager: Yep yep .User Interface: so that people'll wanna buy the coversProjectManager: Yep .User Interface: and then the covers will be that sort of rubbery material like they make iPod covers ,Project Manager: {gap} showing me age ,UserInterface: so they kinda just stretch over .Industrial Designer: Mm .Project Manager: I don't know what i c iPod covers are like .Industrial Designer:{vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound} Yeah , wellProject Manager: Yeah {gap} yeah .User Interface: I I didn't know that but yeah they're kind of{disfmarker} it's just kind of a rubbery {disfmarker}Project Manager: Uh-huh .Industrial Designer: Yeah .User Interface: and that way {disfmarker} youknowProject Manager: Okay ,User Interface: spongy like is something that people wantedProject Manager: yep , right .User Interface: and it just sort of stretchesoverIndustrial Designer: Mm-hmm .User Interface: and that way I think probably helps protect it a little bit too as wellProject Manager: Okay .IndustrialDesigner: But it's also e e easier to put on versus like mobile coversUser Interface: and {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: you actually have to screw them on andstuff and you kinda sometimes have to get someone to do that for you . This is very much you should be able to stretch it over yourselfProject Manager: Yep.User Interface: just kinda stretch it overIndustrial Designer: and it'll be fine .Project Manager: Okay , good yeah .Industrial Designer: Yeah .User Interface: andit'll just stay onIndustrial Designer: Yeah .User Interface: and then the buttons come through and so {disfmarker} and then the {disfmarker} each one of 'em onthe very end will have the logo with the yellow circle and the R_R_ .Project Manager: Yep , right .Industrial Designer: Li that'll be {gap} the covers as well , yeahyeah .Project Manager: Yeah , yeah .User Interface: Yeah .Project Manager: I mean tha it's it's a detailed point , I just wondered {disfmarker} I mean h how willpeople put these down I wonder ?User Interface: Like that .Project Manager: Right . Okay {gap} for some strange re reason I had it in my mind that they'd putthem down verticallyIndustrial Designer: Yeah it could stand , yeah .Project Manager: but uh uh {disfmarker}User Interface: {vocalsound} Oh .IndustrialDesigner: Well we could broaden the {disfmarker} broaden it out a bitProject Manager: {vocalsound} Yeah , uh noIndustrial Designer: so it would stand like that.Project Manager: because {gap} particularly if they've dif if they're gonna have it as a you know as a fashion itemIndustrial Designer: Yeah , {gap} standing.Project Manager: uh I mean it it's uh it it's just I mean it's just a minor detailed point , but um as you say you can just make the base a little bit bigger and uh{disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Yeah , we could just widen it out uhProject Manager: Yeah and uh it just needs another uh another logo somewhere is is is is allit gives gives people the option and if if say if they've got them um {gap}Industrial Designer: Mm . Mm .Project Manager: because {gap} actually have several{gap} upon the uh {disfmarker}Marketing: Could have one for your stereo , one for your {gap} D_V_ player .Industrial Designer: Mm , yeah , yeah .ProjectManager: Yeah , well .User Interface: Yeah .Industrial Designer: Have to {disfmarker} if we just lengthen it I guessProject Manager: {vocalsound} YeahIndustrialDesigner: so it comes down to the base of the handUser Interface: Yeah ,Project Manager: but that that's uh {disfmarker} but uhUser Interface: just kind of{disfmarker}Industrial Designer: and then flatten it outProject Manager: noIndustrial Designer: and could sit there .Project Manager: the the the overall uh theoverall concept is uh {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Yeah , {vocalsound} mm .User Interface: Or just make it little .Project Manager: yeah yeah ,IndustrialDesigner: Yeah . Yeah .User Interface: Somewhere like thatProject Manager: no no , I mean that's {disfmarker} these uh {disfmarker}User Interface: so it justsort of {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: We might {gap} have to lengthen itMarketing: Yeah I kinda had a a kinda {disfmarker} a natural kind of a ideaIndustrialDesigner: so it kinda {disfmarker} your hand still holds it and have it there ,User Interface: Yeah .Industrial Designer: yeah , yeah , yeah like that , like that{gap} . Yeah .Marketing: where it's like more of a kind of {disfmarker} like a kinda maybe slightly like thinner ,User Interface: BuProject Manager: Yeah.Marketing: yeah , kinda like that kinda {gap} like a flower or a plantProject Manager: But uh yeah {disfmarker} but no th but the {disfmarker} yeah the the the{disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Mm .Marketing: for the more natural kinda {disfmarker}User Interface: {gap} .Project Manager: Yeah , yeah , yeah ,IndustrialDesigner: {vocalsound} The final product would actually stand up , yeah {vocalsound} .Project Manager: I mean it it's uh {disfmarker} wouldn'tUser Interface:{gap} fall over .Project Manager: wouldn't do that , indeed yeah . But th th but th yeah th b theUser Interface: Yeah .Project Manager: these were all minorminor uh minor details ,Industrial Designer: Yeah , yeah .User Interface: Yeah .Project Manager: I think the uh the basic concept i i is is absolutely bangonIndustrial Designer: Yeah .User Interface: {gap} . 'S a little longer .Project Manager: and the {disfmarker} iIndustrial Designer: Wee {vocalsound}{disfmarker}Project Manager: it certainly meets our criteria of being uh {disfmarker} of you know looking different .Industrial Designer: Mm .Project Manager:Um , soUser Interface: Yeah .Project Manager: good that's that that's excellent .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Um right let us um What's onthe next one ? Oh right yes , let's have a look at the um f finance . Um , now we're given a a clear design brief , uh if I {gap} get the uh spreadsheet up . Oh.Marketing: Uh yeah , {vocalsound} just click there .Project Manager: {gap} .Marketing: Uh the the maximise button .Project Manager: Oh right . Ah . Good , thisis why we need to make these things simple so that the uh the the the boss can understand .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface:{vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Now I've um {vocalsound} this is the company's uh uh costing for for various uh uh aspects of designand I I I've treated some of these slightly uh liberally given the constraints placed on us , um I wouldn't know for in for instance if if they require us to have it inthe corporate colours , then that is not a special colour , that's a that's a standard colour . Uh , so we're just simply on batteries , the the one th the one decisionI've had to make is that um we're {vocalsound} we will have to find a s a regular standard chip to to do this with and I I um I'm I'm I'm certain that they they arearound so , um that I don't think is a a serious problem . The uh the the voice sensor is is expensive but we we made a a basic decision that that was absolutelyfundamental to the to the design so that that has to stay . Um then again the the the the shape of the case means that it's it's expensive to uh um l to make'cause of the the th the double curves but on the other hand because of our overall fashion concept um we we should exceed the the sales targets . Um it's simplymade of plastic so th that's uh that's no problem and uh um just because the whole {gap} the colour of the the whole thing that's uh uh there's some cost there .Um and uh we haven't actually got a scroll wheel we we we got push buttons and and a simple uh um {vocalsound} slider so um and the and the the buttons areuh uh well I do don't know that they're special colour . Anyway the the costings uh come in at {disfmarker} exactly on target at twelve point five uh but I thi Ithink we have a a very strong case to argue that uh what what we've got is is so in innovative and uh and different that um {vocalsound} any any slightcompromise we have to make on on cost is is offset by the uh you know the uh you know the the the the concept of it being a a fashion accessory and and havingthe the interchangeable coversIndustrial Designer: Mm .Project Manager: so uh um you know the {disfmarker} if if if the management expect us to be techno{gap} again {gap} fail again {disfmarker} technologically innovative um that they they have to accept that we we can't operate absolutely within uh theconstraints that they give ,Industrial Designer: Mm .Project Manager: so uh we we we present this as the uh the company's uh the the company's way forwardand uh uh I I think we can argue that we we have uh come in on on budget . Um . Okay , uh . So um . Does anybody want to uh {disfmarker} uh Andrew do youwant {disfmarker} what do you want to say about um the uh yeah the evaluationMarketing: Evaluation .Project Manager: where where you know well wherewhere we're where where we're at ?Marketing: The {vocalsound} the product or the project ? {vocalsound}Project Manager: The the the well the {disfmarker} I"}

Oh Michael , hi .UserInterface: Yep .Project Manager: You're late . You have a good reason for that ?User Interface: {vocalsound} Yes .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}ProjectManager: {vocalsound} Very good {vocalsound} . {vocalsound} Okay , let's have a look to the agenda today . {vocalsound} So , we are going to have a meetingabout the functional design . Um so first before starting I w just going to uh to go quickly to {disfmarker} through the minutes of previous meeting . So uh{vocalsound} basically we we are not decided if w we should go for a universal or specific uh uh remote control , but I have new um new i inputs for {disfmarker}about that topics . I goin I'm going to share with you . {vocalsound} And uh basically we decided to um to uh go to individual actions for each of you uh so umIndustrial Designer should wor was supposed to work on th on th on the working design . You showed us {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Yep .Project Manager:you ar you you prepare something for us ?Industrial Designer: Yeah . Yep .Project Manager: The U_I_ guy also uh work on that , yeah , and for the mar ourMarketing Expert should deliver some specs .User Interface: Mm .Project Manager: Alright {vocalsound} so {vocalsound} so we are going to go through three ofyour individual presentations . But first I would like quickly to uh to decide of {disfmarker} to give a name to the project . So , I just put d quickly Remo , but ifyou have any o other names that we co could decide for just to to keep something fun for our project we we should {disfmarker} we could discuss quickly . Anyideas ?User Interface: Uh the Powerstick .Industrial Designer: Mm-hmm .Project Manager: {vocalsound} Powerstick , yeah .User Interface: {vocalsound}ProjectManager: What else ? What else ?Marketing: Uh . {vocalsound}User Interface: Maybe a Spanish name would work well .Marketing: Mm I was thinking of the{disfmarker}User Interface: Especially if we're selling into the U_S_ market becasue there's a lot of Spanish speakers there . Maybe something that sounds coolin English but sounds funny in Spanish .Marketing: Mando .User Interface: Mando .Project Manager: Mango ? Mango ?User Interface: What is that ?Marketing:Mando .Project Manager: Mando . M_A_ ? M_A_ ?Marketing: A*_N_ yeah D_O .Project Manager: M_ D_O_ . Mm , okay .Marketing: It doesn't it doesn't soundcool for me ,Project Manager: What does it mean ? Oh .Marketing: but maybe for a Spanish {disfmarker} for I {disfmarker} for {disfmarker}User Interface:What does it mean in Spanish ?Marketing: Control .User Interface: Control .Project Manager: Hmm . Nice .User Interface: Okay . 'Cause it also {disfmarker} likein English it sounds like you know the man's tool you know because you know men like to have control of the remoteMarketing: But {disfmarker} mm , yeah.User Interface: so it might {disfmarker}Marketing: Mando sounds Latino . {vocalsound} {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound} {vocalsound}UserInterface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Okay .User Interface: The Mando .Project Manager: {vocalsound} So , let's go forMando ? Yeah ? No objection ?Industrial Designer: Yeah , yeah .User Interface: Yeah that's {gap} .Project Manager: Great . So {disfmarker}User Interface: Andwe could have some like you d you could have the fonts you know special , so you have man in like in in uh in one o in one font and then the O_ as like{disfmarker}Project Manager: Okay , I think this is {disfmarker}User Interface: Although you don't wanna cut uh cut women out of the uh potential buyersthough ,Project Manager: Okay .User Interface: do you ? So {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Yeah they are the most T_V_ watcher . So we should be careful.User Interface: Yeah .Project Manager: Okay , I think this is more a question of of {disfmarker}User Interface: Marketing .Marketing: But {disfmarker}yeahProject Manager: I I think this is more a question of of look and feel .Marketing: it uh {disfmarker}Project Manager: Something that should be addressedlater We should we should go to other {disfmarker} for the other topics .Marketing: Yeah because if the product will be international {disfmarker}User Interface:Well that's the thing . We need to know who we're selling it to before we can really decide on a {disfmarker}Project Manager: Yeah okay , so let's stick f to ManMando for the nameUser Interface: Um .Project Manager: and we'll see for the for the look and feel later . So let's go for the three presentations right now . So ,who want to start ?User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: So maybe we could start with the market , yeah .Marketing: Maybe maybe I should uh start .Yeah . Mm . Okay .Project Manager: Okay so I have your slides somewhere ?Marketing: Yeah . Should be in participant four .Project Manager: Participant four .{vocalsound} This one ?Marketing: Yeah , yeah . {vocalsound} Uh .Project Manager: S that's coming . Uh {gap}User Interface: Yeah .Project Manager: okay .Great .Industrial Designer: Yep .Marketing: Okay so yeah I will I will give a brief outline about what I what I prepared for this meeting .Project Manager:Mm-hmm .Marketing: For the functional requirements and especially for the for the user requirements . I prepare a marketing report and we have to find theweaknesses and and the the improvements we could do to the current remote controls . And also I di I did a study with {disfmarker} for the incorporation of newtechnologies it seems that the remote controls have been {disfmarker} have remained the same for the last five , ten years . There is no no significant differencebetween the the b the first new controls and {disfmarker}Project Manager: Okay . Sh next slide ?Marketing: Yeah . Yeah .Project Manager: Okay .Marketing: Well{vocalsound} {vocalsound} more {disfmarker} most of the people think that remote controls are ugly , thoroughly . So and they they admit that the the theyshould uh s they would uh spend more money in a fancier remote control , which is which is good and it's interesting point . Also the people are worried aboutabout the R*_S_I_ disease , which is if you repeat the sa the same movement , which is not a {disfmarker} with a not very appropriate device , you you will haveproblems whe when you will get old . So s people are uh are worried about the the shape of the of the remote control . They are also {vocalsound} {disfmarker}they get angry very often because they lost the remote control very often , so I think it would be a good point to to l to to find a a solution to {disfmarker} anybeep any alarm or something incorporated to {disfmarker} with the remote control every time it it get lost .Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Marketing: And also Ifound that young people {disfmarker} the the younger people are the more interested they are in incorporating new technologies in the in the remote control.Project Manager: Okay .Marketing: So {vocalsound} {vocalsound} in my opinion the Mando {disfmarker} this Mando shouldn't be very small because thesmaller it is , the more like {disfmarker} the the liklier it is to get lost . Liklier or more likely ?User Interface: More likely . {gap}Marketing: {gap} likely . Okay .Uh {vocalsound} people also complain because they they they all have the same size of the buttons for buttons who w which are not very use like f uhmemorising channels or or this kind of actions which are not very often but {vocalsound} they they shouldn't they shouldn't have the same importance in the inthe uh in the remote cont in the remote control . Also the z the design should fit the hand shape . So it may be interesting to to think in a {disfmarker} in bothprototypes , for right and left handed people .User Interface: Well th the on the thing is though , most remote controls are used by more than one person . Sounless you're kind of targeting single people you know you're gonna maybeMarketing: {vocalsound} Yeah .User Interface: cut out some {disfmarker} a lot ofyour market .Marketing: I dunno I th Anyway I think it could be int interesting to to release some {disfmarker} a a small fraction of of this remote controls.Industrial Designer: Well maybe it could be a universal design .Marketing: Sorry ?Industrial Designer: A universal design , which is which is good for both thehands .User Interface: Still shaped for yeah for your hand but not for a particular hand , right ?Marketing: Yeah .Industrial Designer: Yeah ? That's right , whetherit's left hand or right hand ,Marketing: Yeah .Industrial Designer: but but {vocalsound} don't you think that the two points are clashing , one thing you are sayingdesign should fit the hand shape and it should not be very small ?Marketing: Sorry ?Industrial Designer: The first and the third point , they are clashing .UserInterface: Well it can still be a {gap} , you can still extend past the hand .Marketing: Yeah .Project Manager: Yeah .Industrial Designer: Okay .User Interface: Uh.Marketing: Like uh {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: So fitting the hand doesn't mean much then .User Interface: Well it means {disfmarker} like , this remotehere is kind of {disfmarker} is very thin and long so instead of having {disfmarker} you know you might have it kind of {disfmarker} a bit biggerIndustrialDesigner: Mm-hmm mm-hmm .Marketing: Yeah , like {disfmarker}User Interface: or , you know , with maybe some some finger molds or something .IndustrialDesigner: Mm-hmm mm-hmm mm-hmm .Project Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: So it means design should be similar to the traditional ones ?UserInterface: {gap}Industrial Designer: Little sleek , longer ?User Interface: {gap}Industrial Designer: And it should fit the hand .Marketing: No no I was thinking ofso like something {disfmarker}Project Manager: Something with the shape of the palm ?Industrial Designer: Mm-hmm mm-hmm mm-hmm .Marketing: yeah.User Interface: Some finger grips maybe .Marketing: Yeah .User Interface: You could even have some buttons like you know on the sides and everything ,ProjectManager: On the sides .Marketing: Yeah yeah . It sh it shouldn't it shouldn't be symmetric symmetrical .User Interface: but {disfmarker}Industrial Designer:Mm-hm mm-hmm mm-hmm .Marketing: Not anymore . That's what {disfmarker} yeah .Project Manager: And then finally {disfmarker}Marketing: And finally ,the incorporation of a L_C_D_ or a speech recognition system in the remote control could also be interesting , but I don't know if the budget would be largeenough .User Interface: Yeah .Project Manager: Yeah . First I'm just wondering about the L_C_D_ stuff because uh because {disfmarker}Marketing: But most of{disfmarker} yeah most of the young people to thirty to thirty years old were really interested in this kind of technology .Project Manager: Yeah , so maybe it's agood time for me to uh {vocalsound} to bring you to some new uh new informations . We had the new requirements from the {disfmarker} so uh from the headoffices of the company , and so they wanted {disfmarker} so they want to um {disfmarker} they would like to be restricted to T_V_ .User Interface: Yeah .ProjectManager: Okay , I dunno if you had this information already . No ,User Interface: No .Project Manager: so they want us to restrict the remote control to T_V_ only"}

So y you guys had a {disfmarker} a meetingwith uh {disfmarker} with Hynek which I unfortunately had to miss . Um and uh somebodyPhD C: Mmm .Professor A: eh e and uh I guess Chuck you weren'tthere either , so the uhPhD B: I was there .Professor A: Oh you were there ?PhD B: With Hynek ?Professor A: Yeah .PhD B: Yeah .Professor A: So everybodyknows what happened except me . OK . {vocalsound} Maybe somebody should tell me .PhD C: Oh yeah . Alright . Well . Uh first we discussed about some of thepoints that I was addressing in the mail I sent last week .Professor A: Uh - huh .PhD C: So . Yeah . About the um , well {disfmarker} the downsampling problem.Professor A: Yeah .PhD C: Uh and about the f the length of the filters and {disfmarker} Yeah .Professor A: What was the {disfmarker} w what was thedownsampling problem again ?PhD C: So we had {disfmarker}Professor A: I forget .PhD C: So the fact that there {disfmarker} there is no uh low - pass filteringbefore the downsampling . Well .Professor A: Uh - huh .PhD C: There is because there is LDA filtering but that 's perhaps not uh the best w mProfessor A:Depends what it 's frequency characteristic is , yeah .PhD C: Well . Mm - hmm .Professor A: So you could do a {disfmarker} you could do a stricter one .PhD D:System onProfessor A: Maybe . Yeah .PhD C: Yeah . So we discussed about this , about the um {disfmarker}Professor A: Was there any conclusion about that?PhD C: Uh \" try it \" . Yeah .Professor A: I see .PhD C: I guess .Professor A: Yeah . So again this is th this is the downsampling {vocalsound} uh of the uh{disfmarker} the feature vector streamPhD C: Uh .Professor A: and um Yeah I guess the {disfmarker} the uh LDA filters they were doing do have um{vocalsound} uh let 's see , so the {disfmarker} the {disfmarker} the feature vectors are calculated every ten milliseconds so uh the question is how far downthey are at fifty {disfmarker} fifty hertz . Uh . {vocalsound} Um .PhD C: Yeah . Mm - hmm .Professor A: Sorry at twenty - five hertz since they 're downsamplingby two . So . Does anybody know what the frequency characteristic is ?PhD C: We don't have yetProfessor A: Oh OK .PhD C: um {vocalsound} So , yeah.Professor A: OK .PhD C: We should have a look first at , perhaps , {vocalsound} the modulation spectrum .Professor A: Yeah .PhD C: Um . So there is this , thereis the um length of the filters . Um . {vocalsound} {vocalsound} So the i this idea of trying to find filters with shorter delays . Um . We started to work with this.Professor A: Hmm - hmm .PhD C: Mmm . And the third point um {vocalsound} {vocalsound} was the um , yeah , {vocalsound} the on - line normalizationwhere , well , the recursion f recursion for the mean estimation {vocalsound} is a filter with some kind of delayProfessor A: Yeah .PhD C: and that 's not takeninto account right now . Um . Yeah . And there again , yeah . For this , the conclusion of Hynek was , well , \" we can try it but {disfmarker} \"Professor A: Uh - huh.PhD C: Um .Professor A: Try {disfmarker} try what ?PhD C: So try to um {vocalsound} {vocalsound} um take into account the delay of the recursion for themean estimation .Professor A: OK .PhD C: Mmm . And this {disfmarker} we 've not uh worked on this yet . Um , yeah . And so while discussing about these{disfmarker} these LDA filters , some i issues appeared , like well , the fact that if we look at the frequency response of these filters it 's uh , well , we don't knowreally what 's the important part in the frequency response and there is the fact that {vocalsound} in the very low frequency , these filters don't {disfmarker}don't really remove a lot . {vocalsound} compared to the {disfmarker} to the uh standard RASTA filter . Uh and that 's probably a reason why , yeah , on - linenormalization helps because it {disfmarker} it ,Professor A: Right .PhD C: yeah , it removed this mean . Um . Yeah , but perhaps everything could {disfmarker}should be {disfmarker} could be in the filter , I mean , uh the {disfmarker} the mean normalization and {disfmarker} Yeah . So . Yeah . So basically that was{disfmarker} that 's {vocalsound} all we discussed about . We discussed about {vocalsound} good things to do also uh well , generally good stuff {vocalsound}to do for the research .Professor A: Mm - hmm .PhD C: And this was this LDA uh tuning perhaps and {vocalsound} Hynek proposed again to his uh TRAPS , so.Professor A: OK .PhD C: Yeah ,Professor A: I mean I g I guess the key thing for me is {disfmarker} is figuring out how to better coordinate between the twosidesPhD C: um .Professor A: cuz {disfmarker} because umPhD C: Mm - hmm .Professor A: uh I was talking with Hynek about it later and the {disfmarker} the{disfmarker} sort of had the sense sort of that {disfmarker} that neither group of people wanted to {disfmarker} to bother the other group too much . And{disfmarker} and I don't think anybody is , you know , closed in in their thinking or are unwilling to talk about things but I think that {vocalsound} you were sortof waiting for them to {vocalsound} tell you that they had something for you and {disfmarker} and that {disfmarker} and expected that they would do certainthings and they were sor they didn't wanna bother youPhD C: Mm - hmm .Professor A: and {vocalsound} they were sort of waiting for you and {disfmarker} and{disfmarker} and uh we ended up with this thing where they {disfmarker} they were filling up all of the possible latency themselves , and they just had hadn'tthought of that . So . Uh . {vocalsound} {vocalsound} {vocalsound} {vocalsound} {vocalsound} I mean it 's true that maybe {disfmarker} maybe no one reallythought about that {disfmarker} that this latency thing would be such a {disfmarker} a strict issuePhD C: Yeah . Well , but . Yeah . Yeah . Well{disfmarker}Professor A: in {disfmarker} in uh {disfmarker} the other {disfmarker}PhD C: Yeah I don't know what happened really , butProfessor A: Yeah .PhDC: I guess it 's {disfmarker} it 's also so uh the time constraints . Because , {vocalsound} well , we discussed about that {disfmarker} about this problem andthey told us \" well , we will do all that 's possible to have enough space for a network \" but then , yeah , perhaps they were too short with the time andProfessorA: Then they couldn't . I see .PhD C: uh yeah . But there was also problem {disfmarker} perhaps a problem of communication . So , yeah . Now we will try to{disfmarker}Professor A: Just talk more .PhD C: Yeah , slikes and send mails .Professor A: Yeah .PhD C: u s o o Yeah .Professor A: Yeah .PhD C: Uh . OK.Professor A: So there 's um {disfmarker} Alright . Well maybe we should just uh I mean you 're {disfmarker} you 're bus other than that you folks are busydoing all the {disfmarker} all the things that you 're trying that we talked about before right ? And this {disfmarker} machines are busy and {vocalsound} you 'rebusyPhD C: Yeah .Professor A: andPhD C: Basically .Professor A: Yeah . OK . Oh .PhD C: Um .Professor A: Let 's {disfmarker} let 's , I mean , I think that as{disfmarker} as we said before that one of the things that we 're imagining is that uh there {disfmarker} there will be {vocalsound} uh in the system we end upwith there 'll be something to explicitly uh uh do something about noisePhD C: Mm - hmm .Professor A: in addition to the uh other things that we 're talking aboutand that 's probably the best thing to do . And there was that one email that said that {vocalsound} it sounded like uh uh things looked very promising up therein terms of uh I think they were using Ericsson 's {vocalsound} approach or something and {vocalsound} in addition to {disfmarker} They 're doing some noiseremoval thing , right ?PhD C: Yeah , yeah . So yeah we 're {disfmarker} will start to do this also .Professor A: Yeah .PhD C: Uh so Carmen is just looking at theEricsson {disfmarker} Ericsson code .PhD D: Yeah . We modifProfessor A: Mm - hmm .PhD C: AndPhD D: Yeah , I modified it {disfmarker} well , modifying{disfmarker} {vocalsound} I studied Barry 's sim code , more or less . to take @ @ the first step the spectral subtraction . and we have some {disfmarker} thefeature for Italian database and we will try with this feature with the filter to find the result .Professor A: Mm - hmm . Mm - hmm .PhD D: But we haven't resultuntil this moment .Professor A: Yeah , sure .PhD D: But well , we are working in this alsoProfessor A: Yeah .PhD D: and maybe try another type of spectralsubtraction , I don't {disfmarker}Professor A: When you say you don't have a result yet you mean it 's {disfmarker} it 's just that it 's in process or that you{disfmarker} {vocalsound} it finished and it didn't get a good result ?PhD D: No . No , no n we have n we have do the experiment only have the feature{disfmarker} the feature but the experiment havePhD C: Yeah .PhD D: we have not make the experimentProfessor A: Oh . OK .PhD D: and maybe will be goodresult or bad result , we don't know .Professor A: Yeah . Yeah .PhD C: Yeah .Professor A: OK . So um I suggest actually now we {disfmarker} we {disfmarker} wesorta move on and {disfmarker} and hear what 's {disfmarker} what 's {disfmarker} what 's happening in {disfmarker} in other areas like {vocalsound} what 's{disfmarker} what 's happening with your {vocalsound} investigations {vocalsound} about echos and so on .Grad F: Oh um Well um I haven't started writing thetest yet , I 'm meeting with Adam todayProfessor A: Mm - hmm .Grad F: um and he 's going t show me the scripts he has for um {vocalsound} {vocalsound}running recognition on mee Meeting Recorder digits .Professor A: Mm - hmm .Grad F: Uh {vocalsound} I also um {vocalsound} {vocalsound} haven't got thecode yet , I haven't asked Hynek for {disfmarker} for the {disfmarker} for his code yet . Cuz I looked at uh Avendano 's thesis and {vocalsound} I don't reallyunderstand what he 's doing yet but it {disfmarker} {vocalsound} it {disfmarker} it sounded like um {vocalsound} the channel normalization part {vocalsound}um of his thesis um {vocalsound} was done in a {disfmarker} a bit of I don't know what the word is , a {disfmarker} a bit of a rough way um {vocalsound} itsounded like he um he {disfmarker} he {disfmarker} it {disfmarker} it wasn't really fleshed out and maybe he did something that was {vocalsound} interestingfor the test situation but I {disfmarker} I 'm not sure if it 's {vocalsound} what I 'd wanna use so I have to {disfmarker} I have to read it more , I don't reallyunderstand what he 's doing yet .Professor A: OK .

Ah , we came up together , we're good . Okay . Are we ready to start ? Okay . It's now quarter of four . This is a f another forty minute one so it will endat four twenty five . Okay . Right . Our agenda is , as before , for me to open the meeting , for us to go over the previous minutes , then for the two of you topresent your prototype and for you to g um Sarah present the evaluation criteria . We then have a finance aspect , which is a spreadsheet , an Excel spreadsheet. And I know what you're all thinking of , oh my , um because we're only given a forty minute time period to get it all in , including the production evaluation . Sowe're going to make a very fast track . Okay . Um and as you can see that's what we do next on this thing . So the first thing I have to do is close this so that Ican get to {disfmarker} Where is it ? {vocalsound}Marketing: Red .Project Manager: I need to open mine . Not the agenda .Marketing: Agenda three .ProjectManager: No that th I want the minutes from the previous {disfmarker} minutes .Marketing: Mm .Project Manager: That should be there , minutes . Yeah . Okay. Uh from meeting three , is it alright with you if I don't switch it to show , just use it as is ? 'Cause this way I can more easily flip it . Okay , um obviously all of uswere here for the last meeting , we reviewed the previous minutes before that , um each of you made your presentations . {vocalsound} Um we discussed thevarious possibilities based on what was presented in those presentations . The market trend of fruit and veg , mm spongy , uh fancy and elegant more thantechnologically innovative and that more than easy . Um we decided chip on print would be used . Um we would use plastic with a rubber casing , I think was theconsensus , powered by kinetic energy . There was no decision made on the curvatures or double curvature or straight . Um perhaps the prototype will give us aninkling of that . Um looking like a scroll , but it's really a push button technology , excuse my spelling um that was actually in use , that is uh behind the scenes ispush button which we uh according to Kate have a very good uh grasp on doing that in production . Um we decided that separate fashionable covers coveringyour fruit and veg might be a separate product that could be suggested to management . Um and as suggested um yellow with black buttons with the companylogo , a slogan and image might be a good idea based on the requirements that have been provided to us . Um we did have a few production issues andcoordination of the various bits and we had some conflict of ideas and cost constraints and we ran out of time . Um we had to follow that up and prepare for thelast one . And uh we closed as it ran out of time . Is that a fair presentation of what happened ?Industrial Designer: Yep .User Interface: Yes .Project Manager:Okay , back to this meeting . Um we're down to the prototype presentation .Industrial Designer: Ta-da .User Interface: Alright .Project Manager: Over to you.Industrial Designer: Right .User Interface: Well .Project Manager: Ooh , two .User Interface: Yeah , well you see , each made one , we didn't have enough yellowdough .Project Manager: Ah .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface: This is the one that I made .Project Manager: Uh-huh .User Interface: It is uhcurved , easy to hold , hand-held , nice and small with big easy buttons . This is like a scroll , but they are push buttons and they enter {disfmarker} takes youinto the different menus . Of course we need someone who's experienced with the television {gap} . I mean this is the infrared thing that's gonna zap at thetelevision . Uh I'm not quite sure how to make that , but I'm sure it will work . Uh this is on off switch , 'cause I think we do need that , and I think it gives it anice balance .Project Manager: 'Kay .User Interface: And it's gonna have the logo imprinted on it uh in there .Project Manager: Okay .User Interface: Um as forwhat it's actually made of {disfmarker} well the function of these buttons is up , down , left and right {vocalsound} in the different menus .Project Manager:Okay .User Interface: Uh position , I presume that just means right right on it , easy to see . The main feature of it is just a simple design , simple , lack of uhbuttons all over the place . Right ? {vocalsound} Form curved , kind of smooth , hand-held , makes it feel nice to hold . Uh material , I think Kate's gonna tacklethat quite a bit , but I think we have two different options , because we did make a another one , which wa uh is in the shape of banana , it's just {disfmarker} ifyou can imagine this as yellow with black buttons , like just like this but in the shape of a banana ,Project Manager: Mm-hmm . Mm-hmm .User Interface: whichis also nice and easy to hold and feels good and has a similar sort of scroll push button technology , just a slightly different design .Project Manager:{vocalsound}User Interface: Also with on off switch and infrared {disfmarker} {vocalsound} uh I had envisioned it in hard smooth plastic . So like uh{disfmarker} well , I dunno , what's it like ? I guess like an existing remote control , but molded and smooth . Whereas otherwise we'd thought , like with this one{disfmarker} or mix and match , just we were gonna see what you thought , the {disfmarker} uh a more spongy rubber cover with spongy buttons . So we havethe two options we can follow , either the smooth hard plastic or the spongy rubber , depending on cost restraints . And what we well , what conclusion we reachwhen we discuss it . {vocalsound} Uh material {disfmarker} yeah , that's what I have to say about material . Can I scroll down on there and see what else{disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Mm-hmm .User Interface: Well colour , I think {disfmarker} I definitely have a preference towards bright yellow with blackbuttons , because that's the company colours , but if anybody's got any other suggestions , I'm quite willing to consider them as well . {vocalsound} So , it justdepends what you think about these ideas and if I'm {disfmarker} yeah , maybe , Kate , you better say what you think about them .Industrial Designer: Um wellI don't have very much to add . Um the the case {disfmarker} oops , that's the uh on off button just come off our prototype .User Interface:{vocalsound}Industrial Designer: The the case can be either um spongy rubber or hard plastic . We're not absolutely sure about a combination of the two , but itcan be either of those . We have the technology to do that . Um and as for the the actual components um , uh Steph just said this is a {disfmarker} quite a cheapdevice to manufacture . We have simple rubber push buttons um which provide all the functionality we need . Um the um {vocalsound} the diode that actuallydoes the um infrared is at the end , it's the stalk of the banana , or it's just the thing at the end of this version . Um so that's for material . Colour , well uhSteph's the expert on colour . Um we we don't have any particular restrictions on that . Yeah , I think that's all we've got to say really .User Interface: I thin as foras for the fruit or organic theme , I guess this one is obviously fruit shaped .Industrial Designer: A banana .User Interface: This one has n banana , yeah . Thisone has no obvious connections to fruit , but because it's round and molded , it kinda makes you think sort of organic , touchy-feely , kiddie , it's more like{disfmarker} yeah , you'd expect it to be like a child's sorta toy remote control instead of a real one , which I quite like that sort of image . 'Cause it's very bigand chunky and child-friendly andIndustrial Designer: {vocalsound} Would you care to examine the prototypes , see how they feel in the hand ?User Interface:{vocalsound} Hold them , you see , you know . Curvature , is it to your liking ?Project Manager: Oh I see , the on-off's in the back .Industrial Designer: Yes ,that's so that your index finger automatically goes straight to it .User Interface: {vocalsound} If you don't wanna tire out your thumbs after all .Project Manager:And then you can use your thumb . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: And it was partly we thought the design looked better ,User Interface: Yeah . {gap}ProjectManager: I could see this thing , unless it's reinforced , having a problem with the you know {disfmarker}User Interface: Breaking ,Project Manager: yeah .UserInterface: oh right . {vocalsound} Well you see , that's why hard plastic would be quite a good thing for it , because then it'd just be rigid .Marketing: I like thefact that on both of them the keys play such a prominent role .Project Manager: Hmm .User Interface: Yeah , {gap} we really like we really like that design,Marketing: It's really kind of a {disfmarker}User Interface: I mean it looks just like a logo , that arrangement of the keys . Like a c like a compass point , youknow ,Marketing: Mm-hmm mm-hmm .User Interface: just up , down , left and right , and we think we could make that quite a good feature . And it's like the theiPod scroll wheel , {vocalsound} but better .Marketing: Yeah . But it's also like texting ,User Interface: Yeah . Yeah , yeah ,Marketing: you don't{disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Hmm .User Interface: I mean it {disfmarker} that's what it makes me think of , mobile phones ,Marketing:{vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface: I was try I was thinking , moving your thumb like this , what does that remind me of ?IndustrialDesigner: And it's a very simple design ,Marketing: Yeah .User Interface: It's texting .Industrial Designer: there's not a lot to wrong , the components are cheapto make .Marketing: It's also in terms of um being lost it's it's quite {disfmarker} it looks quite different .User Interface: Hmm .Marketing: You know , I I d I haveseveral {disfmarker} four remotes , and they all look the same until you get up close and you have to {disfmarker}User Interface: Yeah .Marketing: you know ,this is really identifiable .User Interface: {vocalsound} I mean the thing is we do need to develop our technology of {disfmarker} {vocalsound} I mean actuallyhow to program the menus and what sort of , you know , text box is gonna appear at the bottom of the screen ,Marketing: Mm-hmm . Mm-hmm .User Interface:but we do definitely think that it's a viable option .Project Manager: Okay .

Um , the known technology can make a cost very low . Uh , it's a wild uh{disfmarker} a wide sale uh of uh remote controls in the world . And and the components are very uh very cheap . Um , Uh , diodes , uh bat batteries and uh uhLED lights , they're needed and they're uh everywhere available . Uh , again , it's a fair price . It's a common uh technology uh , like I told um {disfmarker} Uh ,the circuit board , it's the most um important uh um part of the remote control . Uh , we can use for that uh fibreglass with copper wires , it's {disfmarker} it is uh{disfmarker} can be made as fast as printing paper . It's uh {disfmarker} {vocalsound} it's all very uh {disfmarker}Project Manager: Okay .Industrial Designer:Yeah , they're making it uh all the time . Uh ,Project Manager: Okay .Industrial Designer: and it's not uh very specialised uh technology . {vocalsound} I haven'tcome to here , but um I've got uh some uh images of uh remote controls . They were not uh very uh trendy or just uh just a remote control like everyone knows .So I don't know uh why I should put it here . Uh {disfmarker} {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound} Okay . But it's the technical side of the remote control.User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Yes , but uh I uh haven't made it because uh of the time .Project Manager: Oh . Okay . Well , we'll we'll have toskip that part then .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} What ?User Interface: Okay .Project Manager: But you don't think it's a problem um to design uh thetechnical part of the remote control ? It's gonna be easy ?Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} No . Yes .Project Manager: Okay .User Interface: But nothingrestricted for user interface ?Project Manager: Yeah . MUser Interface: With technical {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Um , no , it's uh it's just a part of uh aknown technology , yeah .User Interface: I don't know .Project Manager: Okay .User Interface: 'Kay .Industrial Designer: Remote control is nothing specialnowadays .Project Manager: R regardless of what type of functions we want to implement . Doesn't really matter .User Interface: Okay .Industrial Designer: Um{disfmarker}User Interface: But I kind of uh {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: I don't think so ,Project Manager: Okay . Yeah , {gap} okay .Industrial Designer:because of the {disfmarker} all the televisions uh {disfmarker} there are a few {disfmarker} maybe a couple of televisions with the new functions ,UserInterface: Yes . Uh {disfmarker}Project Manager: Okay .Industrial Designer: but is it useful to put them on a on a standard uh remote ?Project Manager: Well ,we'll see . We'll see later on .User Interface: Well , the technical functions . Um , well I don't know if you got the same uh pictures as I got ,Project Manager: No.User Interface: but uh I got these two ,Industrial Designer: No .User Interface: and I think they're {disfmarker} we have to focus uh on uh the uh one hand theexpert view or the novice user . {vocalsound} th I think it's it's very much uh depending on the user requirements , I don't s uh know who's doing tProjectManager: Well , uh will there be some uh user requirements later on ? {vocalsound} The ones I {disfmarker} I've uh received from the account manager .UserInterface: Yeah , but it {disfmarker} I think that's very important to watch uh what kind of functions there we want to uh put in a remote control .ProjectManager: Yeah . Well , we'll keep this in mind , and then discuss it later on .User Interface: Yeah , well y we can put functions in it when uh {disfmarker} yeah ,when we uh get the user requirements uh and we can update it .Project Manager: Uh-huh . Okay , but this real this uh big d uh distinction between this type ofremote . {gap} we should we should choose one uh {disfmarker} we should not compromise but uh really choose for uh expert viewer or novice vMarketing: Yes, I agree . Yeah .Project Manager: Yeah ? Well , what {disfmarker} that's what you want {disfmarker} trying to say .User Interface: Well , yeah w if you want trya a a huge market , if you want to reach a huge market , uh like elderly people and {disfmarker} we have to choose for novice user .Project Manager: Okay .Okay .User Interface: But I don't know . It's it's really um depending on how how how far the the the remote controls are already in n um in use .ProjectManager: Yeah , well {vocalsound} some of these {disfmarker} Uh , yeah . Well , some of that will {disfmarker} Yeah , but i but it will be more clear when wecome to the uh u uh some of the new requirements .User Interface: Yeah , probably , yeah .Marketing: Yes .Project Manager: So {disfmarker}User Interface: Uhwell , there are l at least uh basic functions , uh like just th the channels uh one till nine , uh on and off switch , which must be clear with a red button orsomething like that . Um , most standard uh have volume , of course , and a mute function , and , of course , the next and previous channel . I think that's justbasic what we need .Project Manager: Mm-hmm .User Interface: And from that on we can {gap} user requirements what we need more . Uh {disfmarker} Yeah ,I just um um I thought Joost was looking at the trendy {disfmarker} the trends in the markets , and I don't know if there uh are any um {disfmarker} uh if youput more functions , more buttons , maybe it's com becoming less trendy or something like that .Marketing: Yes .User Interface: M you can just {vocalsound}you can k {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound} I haven't really found a conclusion like that .User Interface: you can keep it in mind that .Marketing: Yeah .UserInterface: I don't know . Uh , I th I thought the the {disfmarker} with less buttons you can make a more trendier uh {disfmarker}Marketing: Design .UserInterface: yeah , more trendier design , I think . I think .Marketing: Sounds interesting .Project Manager: {vocalsound}User Interface: Yeah ?Marketing:{vocalsound}User Interface: Uh , well , that's all I have to say , I think .Project Manager: Okay .User Interface: Yeah , that was it .Marketing: {vocalsound}Alright .Project Manager: Well , then the Marketing expert can uh tell us something about the current market .Marketing: {vocalsound} Yes .User Interface:{gap} .Marketing: Yeah . It's alright . Um {disfmarker} Alright , I've done some research for functional requirements . Um {disfmarker} yes . The workingmethod um {vocalsound} there were hundred uh uh w h one hundred people , uh how do you say uh , f watched using remote controls in the usability lab andthey also uh filled out a questionnaire uh with a few questions . Uh , I've lined them up here . Uh , ask whether um common remote control looks good or not ,about willingness to spend money on remote control , about zapping behaviour , and uh and stuff like that . I uh have found some interesting things . We do wedo got a market . Um , {vocalsound} three out of four people claim m uh to find remote controls ugly . So if we make a trendy design , we sure have seventy fiseventy five percent of the market , which you can reach . Um , three out of four users uh zaps a lot , as I uh quoted here from the uh results . {vocalsound} Zapbuttons are used one hundred and sixty eight times per hour . That's quite a lot . Um , {vocalsound} relevant options are , of course , power buttons . Although ,only used once per hour . Uh , channel selection , volume and buttons for text , and the more um , yeah , other functions , like audio settings , video settings ,sound settings are not said to be very important and uh very much used . Furthermore , fifty percent says uh they only use ten percent of the buttons on aremote control . That doesn't say we got {disfmarker} we can leave ninety percent off . But it sure um says we shouldn't make it too uh complicated . Fiftypercent also claims uh to have lost a remote control very often in the room . And um {vocalsound} an important thing here , the most important customers uh ,which is over seventy percent of our market , is in the age range of thirty six to sixty five years old . And uh elderly people , our market , are less interested in uhnice features , but more willingly to spend more money on remote controls . So , {vocalsound} what I was thinking {disfmarker} oh , wrong side . We shouldn'timplement too much features on uh on our remote control , because elderly people will get th lost . Group features for a higher usability , uh what I was claimingin the previous meeting . Um , all the settings , about audio settings , video settings and channel settings , which are not very often used , we could group them"}

Where weuh {disfmarker} We have twenty five minutes for this meeting .Industrial Designer: Okay .Project Manager: We uh are to get acquainted . So does everyone wantto say who they are ? {gap} that seem sensible ?Marketing: Yeah . I'm Robin . I'm the Marketing Manager .User Interface: I'm Louisa . I'm the User InterfaceDesigner .Industrial Designer: I'm Nick . I am the Industrial Designer .Project Manager: And I'm Alastair and I'm the project leader . {vocalsound} Alright okay ,so tool training . Um . {vocalsound} Project plan . So does anyone have any uh thoughts as to the tool training that uh is required ?Industrial Designer: TooltrainingUser Interface: I'm not exactly sure what you mean by tool training .Project Manager: Neither am I {gap} .User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing:{vocalsound}Project Manager: Oh I see , so we shouldn't really be {disfmarker} Oh right okay , so . So we have the project team , which is to um {vocalsound}basically to come up with a new r remote control device .Industrial Designer: {gap}Project Manager: Uh we have uh {disfmarker} the starting base was theoriginal {vocalsound} which has been in existence now for a period of time . And uh our idea is to uh to make the new remote control device uh more userfriendly than the previous one , and to {vocalsound} to be trendier , to be with it , and therefore to uh to get a bigger market share and bigger audience.Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Yeah .Project Manager: So um {vocalsound} method of doing this is uh split up as you can see into uh {vocalsound} thefunctional design , the conceptional design , and the detailed design . So um {vocalsound} in each of these uh phases we'll uh basically be handing over toyourselves , the designers of this uh this device .Industrial Designer: Yes .Project Manager: And uh having uh meetings so that we can uh during the course of theday um come up with a better better inst implement than we had before . And therefore um have a successful uh conclusion to the day . Um and you'll be doinguh various designs uh throughout the day to meet this end .Marketing: Mm-hmm , okay .Project Manager: So we've got tool training . Try out whiteboard . Uh .{vocalsound} So we will um .Marketing: {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Right so everyone's to uh supposedly uh draw theirfavourite animal over on the white board over there . I guess this is uh make sure the whiteboard works . So uh I don't know who wishes to go first .IndustrialDesigner: Okay {gap} .Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound} Do you wish to go f Have a first bash at uh whatever .User Interface: I don'tmind . {vocalsound}Marketing: I dunno . {vocalsound}User Interface: Um .Project Manager: Ah uh . {vocalsound}User Interface: Let's see .Marketing:{gap}User Interface: Good job I got pockets today .Project Manager: But now you you uh you'll move out from the microphone and the camera .Marketing: Yourmicrophone's just {disfmarker}Project Manager: I take it that {disfmarker}User Interface: Are we supposed to do this right now , do you think , or ?ProjectManager: I would {vocalsound} I would guess so . Or {gap} {disfmarker}Marketing: Yeah . I don't know .Industrial Designer: You've lost uh your microphonethere .Project Manager: {vocalsound} Technical problems .User Interface: Oh . Right here we go .Project Manager: I mean you designers are meant to come upwith these sort of things .Industrial Designer: {gap} {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound}{vocalsound}User Interface: Okay . I think that I would have to say that my favourite animal is the cat . Little smiley cat there . Um and this would be becausethey're very independent , uh they're very intelligent , compared to dogs maybe .Project Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface:Um {vocalsound} and they can be very very affectionate . Some people don't think so but I know very affectionate cats . Um . Um and they can look afterthemselves .Project Manager: {gap} {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Next . {vocalsound}IndustrialDesigner: Okay , yeah . I'll I'll {disfmarker}User Interface: Shall I rub that out , actually ?Project Manager: I don't see as there's any need to . There's plenty ofspace .Industrial Designer: {gap}Project Manager: I mean whatever . {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: We can have have a wholemenagerie . {vocalsound}Project Manager: Exactly .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Shall I see if I can get across without just tangling everything . Okay.Project Manager: We've had more time to prepare over this side ,Industrial Designer: There's one .Project Manager: so we've all stuck our bits and pieces in ourpockets . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Didn't think of that .User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound} {vocalsound}IndustrialDesigner: 'Kay uhProject Manager: The three pens are underneath .Industrial Designer: pens are over here . I'll try the red pen . Okay . Um . {vocalsound} I'mgonna go for the bear which I'm {gap} be able to draw very well ,Project Manager: {vocalsound} You get marks for artistic impression . {vocalsound}IndustrialDesigner: but I'll have a bash at it .User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Uh .User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing:{vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Ooh ooh {gap} I lost it there . I think I've just knocked the microphone . {vocalsound} Um .Marketing:{vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: So you're just doing the face . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: We'll g then we'll go for a a s smallsmall bear {gap} .User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer:{vocalsound} Um {vocalsound} and I like my animal that looks nothing like a bear because um I dunno maybe because there's so many cartoon characters madeup after the bear like the jungle book characters and stuff like that .Project Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Great .{vocalsound}Marketing: Right . Hello . Um I'm gonna go for the dog , and I'm gonna draw one badly as well . Uh . {gap} looks like it's going to be a dachshundor something .User Interface: That's quite good . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound} Right . There's my dog . Um{vocalsound} I like dogs because they're very loyal . And they're always happy , so whenever whenever you're feeling sort of a bit a bit down or tired , they'realways coming up and they're always um quite excited . So um you can always have a lot of fun with a dog . And they're also good for exercise as well . You cansorta get out and they they sorta never get tired . And and when they're tired they're quite cute as well , so . {vocalsound}Project Manager:{vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: Okay , that's why I like dogs .Project Manager: {vocalsound} Right , um. {vocalsound} Well I've not actually had too many pets uh over my uh time 'cause to be honest with you uh {gap} I'm not too keen on them anyway . Not toworry . So what my daughters have got at the moment is they've got uh a few fish and so hopefully um won't prove too difficult to draw . Uh {vocalsound}{vocalsound} {gap}User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: As you can see that my artist artistic work is useless as well .Marketing: {vocalsound}ProjectManager: Anyway um . {vocalsound} And uh one of the best uh things about fish is that they don't really take uh too much looking after because uh with most ofthe animals if you're going away on holiday or whatever , you've gotta spend money or get a friend or whatever to look after them for you . Whereas if you gotfish , you just gotta put the food in a a a dripper feed which feeds them over the uh couple of weeks that you're away and uh change the water every couple ofmonths , and buy in a few plants , so . Other than the fact that they keep dying ,Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: uh fish are uh {vocalsound}are not are are are reasonable pets in that uh they're low maintenance .Marketing: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} {vocalsound}Marketing:{vocalsound} Great .Project Manager: {vocalsound} Right . Okay , uh if we're still all with us . Right okay , so . Work has been done on uh this uh project whereby um twenty five Euros is uh the uh expected uh selling price . That information has come from our marketing manager here . {vocalsound}Marketing:Mm-hmm . {vocalsound} Yeah .Project Manager: So we're looking to sell internationally , not just in Europe . We're looking at um having our production costslimited to uh twelve and an half Euro per unit . And therefore making a profit margin of uh {disfmarker} well not actually a profit margin it's uh {disfmarker}because obviously you're gonna have overheads and various other costs to uh take uh from uh from that to give you your profit margin per unit . And sodepending what the uh the overhead uh costs are will determine uh how many units we're uh looking to sell or projecting to sell at this point in time .IndustrialDesigner: {gap}Project Manager: So um {disfmarker} Experience with remote control , first ideas . New remote . So I guess we're looking at um having adiscussion at this point in time to help uh you um folks design our our new model as it were .Industrial Designer: Yes . {gap}Project Manager: So uh any anythoughts ?Industrial Designer: Um I {gap} with some remote controls the buttons were a little small so they're quite hard to press so maybe we make somethingwith uh easy to press buttons . As that is the main function .Project Manager: Okay , so so basically we're looking for some um {disfmarker} we're looking for adevice that is um robust and and therefore uh won't get damaged too easily .Industrial Designer: Yes .Project Manager: Um we're looking for a device that is uh{disfmarker} What was the other things you said there ?Industrial Designer: Um sort of easy to use so the buttons are accessible .Project Manager: Easy to use .Use .Industrial Designer: {gap} is easy to use and see .Project Manager: And see .Industrial Designer: Yes .Project Manager: Okay . Uh .User Interface: Can Ijust check ? {vocalsound} Is this just a television remote ? Because a lot of um systems are kind of T_V_ video combined now , or T_V_ D_V_D_ combined.Project Manager: Mm-hmm .User Interface: And one of the most annoying things is having like five remotes in the house . So if you've got a combined system ,it could be a combined remote .Industrial Designer: {gap}User Interface: Or is it just a television that we're supposed to be doing ?Marketing: Mm .ProjectManager: Oh I w um basically I'll get back to you on that .Industrial Designer: {gap}Project Manager: But it seems to me sensible ,User Interface:{vocalsound}Project Manager: 'cause {disfmarker} as you rightly said , there's nothing more annoying than having three or four devices littered about the uh"}
+{"doc_id":"doc_166","qid":"","text":"Project Manager: Okay , welcome everyone to our next meeting . I'm busy writing and busy leading the meeting , but um I've prepared a little presentation onceagain um or at least an agenda I think uh the biggest part of the presentation will be uh on your side . Um we are here at the conceptual design meeting , whichis hereby opened . Um once again I will try to uh write some minutes which I just from the previous meeting uh placed inside our project folder , which was quitesome typing . Um today we once again have uh three presentations , if I'm right , and after that we will take a decision on the remote control concepts . And justas the last time we have forty minutes to accomplish that . Okay , wellIndustrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: I'd say let's start with the firstpresentation .Marketing: 'Kay .Project Manager: Um in the same order as last time ?Industrial Designer: W sure .User Interface: Mm . Alright .Project Manager:Okay . Well , take it away .User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {gap} {vocalsound} Okay uh welcome you all .User Interface:{vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Components design , um {vocalsound} uh first of all uh I would like to uh uh accommodate some ofthose uh things I uh uh {disfmarker} elaborate some of the things I did . I I elaborated on the concept . What should be um uh said about uh the components ,uh its properties and what kind of materials should we use to uh to make uh one of those r remote controls . Uh well first of all I've uh d subtracted some of thecomponents that is that are used uh are w w um {vocalsound} you know from what uh the remote control's formed . Uh first of all , the case , the case , thesurrounding of the of the the remote control . {vocalsound} I would like to uh give you an idea of uh how I thought about .Marketing: Don't destroy my giraffe.Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Giraffe's gone now .Marketing: {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Okay um the case was is madefrom rubber , I suppose . There's one of the {disfmarker} because when you use a remote control a lot of people uh will uh will uh drop their remotecontrolMarketing: Drop it .User Interface: Hmm .Industrial Designer: and they break uh becau the uh titanium was also an option . But uh it's a very expensivematerial . Uh rubber is , I think , uh the best suitable uh material uh to use uh for our uh for our remote control . Um it's poss it's also possible to uh create fancycolours with rubber . Uh rubber l makes it easy to uh to to {disfmarker} it lets lets itself colour . Uh titanium uh you have to paint it and with that uh it's possibleto scratch it or uh yeah make it ugly . Uh rubber uh the total uh piece of rubber that's sor uh that's that's used uh to make the case is uh the same colour , so ifyou scratch it it's still the same colour , perhaps uh it's a little bit damaged . But it's a very strong material . Um {vocalsound} I h I had an idea single covered uhcurved , sorry , single curved .User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Uh so it's t two dimensional . I think it's uh it's best to draw ohUser Interface:{vocalsound} It's a colour . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: green .Marketing: {vocalsound} Bright colour . Fancy colour . Forward .Industrial Designer: Uh{disfmarker} New . Blank . Okay .Marketing: You have to go tIndustrial Designer: Let's make it uh black . Okay . I thought of an idea like this . Oh {gap} that .{vocalsound} Um delete . Blank . Okay . So it also looks nice when it's on your table .User Interface: {gap}Industrial Designer: So you get uh it doesn't lay flatdown on the table , but it's c it's stands .Marketing: Oh it's a side view .Industrial Designer: Side view yes it's side view so uh I I'm not technically good at ththree D_ modelling ,User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: but .Marketing: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Um uh it's just an idea I had so it's uh it'svery uh so its also looks nice when it's on the table . Um the graphical user interface and the buttons , uh we also thought about that already . Uh I thought aboutuh the L_C_D_ touch screen , which is uh is easy to clean too . One of the great uh advantages of the L_C_D_ screen you just use some {gap} or uh another uhcleaning uh uh cl some cleaning stuff .User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: And um it should be made of strong plastic and it should be bright . Well Ialready uh s uh explained some properties of that material and I think uh well we also we almost concluded about that uh this should uh be uh our uh buttoncomponent .Marketing: True .Industrial Designer: So uh uh that's all about uh the buttons . Uh the batteries , uh we also thought about that already , uh will bechargeable with uh uh an option for a mount station so you can uh put the uh {vocalsound} the remote control in a mount station so its charges itself up insteadof uh plugging it in or something like that . Questions , {gap} ?User Interface: No . {vocalsound}Marketing: No no no no no . Just looking .Industrial Designer:And they should be long lasting , not uh not be empty uh in about uh two minutes or uh thirty minutes or forty minutes of use . And next step is the chip uh ththe component that's uh makes or transmits the signal to the television . Uh there was an option to use s a rather simple chip but I think uh because uh of our uhhighly uh requiring uh requirements , there should be an advanced chip in itUser Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: with uh also the ability to uhfacilitate speaker speech recognition uh which unfortunately is still in a test phase , so uh there should be some more uh investigation on that side . Uh mypersonal preferences uh I also overheard in the last meeting that there shou we should use uh our own business colours . That was correct , wasn't it ?ProjectManager: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: Okay . I think they are rather boring for um for use with rubber .User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Well ,business colours I thought it was the the slogan and uh the corporate image , so yeah , it needs colour ,Industrial Designer: Okay they should be m sh theyshould be in mind ,Project Manager: but I don't think you have to make the entire thing in the corporate colour . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: wasn't it ?Okay so it d it doesn't says uh to uh have the slogan ?Project Manager: It must be recognisable .Industrial Designer: Okay okay . Well that's possible of course.User Interface: You can put the R_ and R_ . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: We could make a little R_ and R_ {gap} on the top of the machine . Uh so they are{vocalsound} pretty boring , I suggest , because just the availability with rubber to make fantastic colours uh and also in a lot of possible colours , so it's possibleto make very uh fancy uh remote controls which peopl uh who people in which people will find they're uh interesting . And uh will buy uh {vocalsound} themfaster when they look at the same old grey or black uh colours . Uh s as I said uh before rubber is uh is impossible to damage severely imp instead of uh of courseyou can break it when you you when you break it in s for example with a pair of scissors or something like that , but i if you drop it it's not uh broken uh rightaway s instead of using uh plastic , hard plastic or uh titanium . And I personally liked uh the single curved uh remote control , because it yeah it makes sense.User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Okay . Well that's all about my uh my findings .User Interface: Alright .Project Manager: Okay ,thank you .User Interface: I will go next .Marketing: Mm mm mm . Next .User Interface: {gap}Industrial Designer: {gap}User Interface: Alright soIndustrialDesigner: {vocalsound}User Interface: I thought a little bit about the interface . Uh how it should look . And uh {vocalsound} uh we uh determined that will notbe no buttons , but only an L_C_D_ screen , so I had to uh look on that . And the design is therefore based on what we just uh uh thought of . Uh first there aresome new findings and new technology for speech recognition . And this is that uh um uh uh you you ask you give a question through through the device and itanswers you . And they already uh put this in an in a coffee maker . And so that it you say uh good morning , uh coffee maker , and it says t says to you backgood morning Joe or what's your name .Industrial Designer: Mm .User Interface: This uh and there's an easy way to uh program that uh you say record into thedevice into the speaker and then you say the question and three seconds later you say the answer and then when you say the question it gives you the answer .Um perhaps it's useful ,Industrial Designer: Mm .Project Manager: Mm .User Interface: perhaps for because people um lose the remote ,Industrial Designer: Mm.User Interface: they can yell uh remote where are you and {gap} calls or something .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: It's true .User Interface: Andperhaps we could uh implement that .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} {vocalsound}User Interface: And then I have to go out of the presentation because Itried to make some kind of a a idea of how it should look likeIndustrial Designer: Oh my God . {vocalsound} {vocalsound}User Interface: but I can't draw , so uhdon't {vocalsound} make too much of it {vocalsound} . I tried to uh the L_C_D_ screen I tried to sort of to draw {gap} . I thought uh at least uh the icon for thevolume . I don't know if there is an icon for the program , butIndustrial Designer: Not just a P_ .User Interface: yeah .Marketing: P_ yeah , just a P_ .UserInterface: So uhIndustrial Designer: .. . {gap}User Interface: and then the buttons above and uh belowMarketing: {vocalsound}User Interface: the and the andthe mute button also recognisable as an icon . Um .Marketing: Where's where's the button for two {gap} ?User Interface: I forgot that one . {vocalsound} Ithought I forgot something ,Industrial Designer: {gap}Marketing: Okay .User Interface: but uh {vocalsound} .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface:And uh and uh the numbers , that should be a bit larger I think it's not really on scale and and so forth .Industrial Designer: Ah .Marketing: Doesn't matter .UserInterface: Um an options button . And I thought the the button for teletext apar uh apart because it's not really options , I think . It's uh options is the settings ofthe remote and of the T_V_ and that kind of uh thing .Industrial Designer: Mm-hmm .Marketing: No .User Interface: So could call it settings or something.Industrial Designer: Yep .User Interface: But this is a bit uh how I thought it . And uh the L_C_D_ uh somewhere on the remote .

You're participant four .Marketing: I'm participant four I believe . Yes uh-huh .Project Manager: Okay , and now I can uh full screen .Marketing: 'Kay.Industrial Designer: Open .Project Manager: Uh , okay , okay .Marketing: There we go . Okay well I think we have introduced ourselves ,Industrial Designer: Andthen full screen .Marketing: so the functional requirements are {disfmarker} is {vocalsound} is part of my goal but why don't we pass right to the second slide .Cause that's where m my discussion starts . Right well um since I'm in charge of trying to figure out what we should put on this thing since I have to try to sell it.Industrial Designer: Mm-hmm .Marketing: Um {vocalsound} I thought that the method I should follow would be gather suggestions from everybody , and th thereason I just put that there like that is that uh in the init in the initial stage I think I should just be open to lots of suggestions . You know you can say anythingyou want no matter how silly it sounds you know it should run your car , it should heat up your motor if should um turn on your C_D_ {vocalsound} whatever youwant it to do {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: 'Kay .Marketing: um and then as we go on what we'll have to do is accept and eliminate these suggestionsaccording to um design and budget feasibility . So I'll be coming to you um frequently as the Industrial Expert to tell me how hard it's gonna be to add a featureor how expensive it's gonna be or if your time , if it takes five years to develop this it's just something we can't do .Industrial Designer: Mm-hmm . Yeah . Yeah .Yeah . Hmm hmm . Mm .Marketing: So in the beginning just have a big puddle of things that we {disfmarker} anybody can th throw anything inIndustrialDesigner: Yeah .Marketing: and then just weed things out that can't be done for one reason or another , and then the things that seem the most attractive that touh to a customer we'll try to then prioritise those .Industrial Designer: Mm-hmm . Yeah .Marketing: So that was um what I meant there , and as I said on theslide there consulting the Industrial Engineer about that and the other thing is timing is really gonna be as important as money , because if we're gonna sell thisthing , I think the best time to sell it is as a Christmas present . Twenty five Euros makes a nice little present , and we want it to be an impulse purchase,Industrial Designer: Mm .Marketing: we want somebody to see it and think it's , gee I just gotta have that . And take out their wallet and buy it . So it's gotta bereally attractive and it {disfmarker} but it's gotta go to market by September , 'cause anything that you don't already have out there in September showing itaround , isn't gonna sell for Christmas .Industrial Designer: Yeah .Marketing: Um {vocalsound} and then I'll be coming to you as the User Interface person to tryto tell me from your point of view what are the most friendly features that we could put on it and try to prior help me with that prioritising of uh of the featuresand of the the look and the colourUser Interface: Okay .Marketing: and I'll be coming back to you to help weed out those suggestions from that point of view.User Interface: Okay .Marketing: So I'll be coming to you for how much is it gonna cost us and how long is it gonna take you ,Industrial Designer: Mm mm-hmm.Marketing: and I'll be coming to you to tell me what's gonna make somebody take out their wallet you know ,User Interface: What features .Marketing: whatwhat's what's gonna really be what they call a sizzle ,User Interface: S sellable . Yes {vocalsound} .Marketing: 'cause we gotta sell this sizzle {vocalsound}.Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: A lot of times the thing that works the best from an engineering point of view isn't the thing that somebody's reallyjust gonna take out their wallet and buy for Christmas for for their child or for their husband or whatever .User Interface: Yes .Marketing: Okay can we go to thenext slide please ? Alright I I already did a little bit of research after our first meeting where we threw out some ideas and it looks to me that within the budgetthat we're looking at the uh the whole house idea really isn't gonna be possible . So I'd like your suggestions to come back to the other slide where I was sayingwe we could suggest anything .Project Manager: {vocalsound}Marketing: I'd like the suggestions to be really specific , so that we'll have a list of things we cancross off , not something like you know whole house control what'll be {vocalsound} {disfmarker} And then I found on the internet from from my research thatsome extended electronic entertainment control should be possible . At the budget that we're looking at and at the price point we're looking at , we should be ableto make it work the T_V_ , the V_C_R_ , the stereo set um maybe something else cute like a coffee pot or one other appliance or maybe a lamp .Project Manager:{vocalsound} Uh okay , can can I at this point interject um something ?Marketing: I have to wind up ? Yeah , sure .Project Manager: Um we have receivedinstruction from higher up that certain things should not be uh considered . Um the one thing for example {disfmarker} something to eliminate maybe that's theteletext ,Marketing: Okay .Project Manager: because that's sort of outdated with the internet ,Industrial Designer: Mm-hmm .Marketing: Okay .Project Manager:and according to to higher management the {disfmarker} it should only control the T_V_ ,Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: mostly because they feelthat it's too comp complex a task to um to to include other things ,Industrial Designer: Complicated , yeah , of course .Project Manager: and they are concernedwith the time to market .Industrial Designer: Yeah .Marketing: Of course , yeah .Project Manager: Okay .User Interface: Okay .Project Manager: Um and the{disfmarker}Marketing: Okay , so that's something {disfmarker}Project Manager: and the third thing that they wanna make sure um that their {disfmarker} thatthe corporate image is being maintained , and that the corporate colour and design are being used on the product , so that it's easy that that that they can beeasily identified as a product of of of the company , and that there's no mistake that it could be somebody else who is bringing this out .Industrial Designer:Mm-hmm .Project Manager: So I just wanted to interject this here so we're not getting too much off track here with uh with the things we wanna look at . Thesewere instructions from higher up so we have to eliminate uh these things , so it's only gonna be T_V_ ,Marketing: Okay so {disfmarker}Project Manager: but theone thing maybe that could be um eliminated is the teletext uh idea .Marketing: Okay .Project Manager: Mm 'kay .User Interface: Okay .Marketing: Alright ,thanks for that . Um alright now {vocalsound} other things that I found out on {disfmarker} in my research is that the complaints that people have about theremote controls that are out there now . 'Cause a lot of them take too much time to learn how to use , and that was thirty four percent but even more importantthe thing that we did address in our last meeting that frequently it's lost somewhere in the room . Um so those are two things that we definitely do wanna address, uh we wanna s make it as simple as possible , we wanna make it um obvious and intuitive to use , and then the things about finding it we talked about the{disfmarker} a light emitting thing as well as uh maybe a beep , and I think that those are things after my research that we definitely wanna try to incorporate .'Kay can we go to the next slide please ? Okay , so , my personal preferences in this um project are really have to concentrate on the sizzle . That is the sellingpoint , the thing that's gonna make it an impulse purchase . Uh because once there's no be-back , well in sales they always say you know , be-backs don't comeback .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: If somebody says , oh I'll come back and get it next week you're dead . They're never gonna come back andbuy it . You've gotta make it attractive enough so they buy it now now now w now is a big word in in my book for selling this thing . And , in order to make itreally sellable we've gotta shorten the learning curve , make sure it's really intuitive and easy to use . We have to have as few buttons as possible , because morebuttons is more confusion , so that's why I'm saying , simplicity is good . Finding it's important , obviously you can't use it if you can't find it . So we've gottaconcentrate on the features that help you find it , and I've already said this several times but I put it down in writing here , it should be an attractive impulsepurchase at twenty five Euros . So it has to have enough value that when somebody looks at it they say , uh twenty five Euros I'm not gonna take that . Has to beso great that they're gonna say , uh twenty five Euros isn't much . Um and then maybe a motto , like we put fashion in electronics might be something we canuse in our marketing campaign .Industrial Designer: Yeah .Marketing: Okay that's uh about it for me right now .Project Manager: {vocalsound} Okay . And uhwho would be next , uh , I guess that would be you . Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: Yeah 'kay .Project Manager: You want me to get your slide show up?Industrial Designer: Yeah yeah sure .Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: Thank you .Project Manager: And you are number three ?IndustrialDesigner: Number two ,Project Manager: Number two .Industrial Designer: yeah . Yeah exactly .Project Manager: Okay . Okay .Industrial Designer: Uh can youmake it uh full screen please ?Project Manager: Mm-hmm . Yep .Industrial Designer: No , it's like a well you you have to press here . The cup cup shape here?Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Yeah yeah , uh-huh .Industrial Designer: The thir third .Project Manager: There , mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: Yeahexactly . Uh so today I'm going to talk about the working design of the remote controller . Um can you go to the next sli slide please ?Marketing: Okay .ProjectManager: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: The metal is like uh in a remote controller you have a chip integrated circuit which is like a brain of the remote controller. It takes the power from a battery say a battery it it can be a elec an electric supply like you have to uh like uh switch connec connect connect your remotecontroller to uh power supply from the you know electricity or something like that . It should be a battery because uh uh remote controller should be like you youyou should take it t to wherever you want and then um uh thMarketing: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: this integrated circuitry takes energy from the power"}

Thanks for coming to this meeting .Marketing: Hm .Project Manager: S how wedoing on our remote ?User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: We have some {disfmarker} we have some ideas and some uh ideas for what people want.User Interface: Uh we yes s I've lo {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}User Interface: I've done the role that I was asked to do anyway .Project Manager:Yeah .User Interface: {vocalsound} I think .Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound} Alright let's just go over the agenda real quick for thismeeting . See if I can't get things uh moving along here a little bit better . Um I'll go over what we went over last time , which shouldn't take long . Then I believeeach of you have a presentation . Um I've was sent a a couple more requirements for our remote , what they want . Um then we can come to a conclusion on uhwhat we want the remote to do , um and how it's going to do it hopefully . And uh then we'll have the closing . {vocalsound} Um which we'll have forty minutesfor . Uh let's see , the last meeting we went over um {vocalsound} who was responsible for what . I'm responsible for leading the meetings , keeping the notes ,uh and coming up with the final presentation . Um Corinne is our Marketing Expert . She's gonna figure out what what um the consumer wants . Um{vocalsound} Ryan is our User Interface Designer . And Manuel is the Industrial Designer . So you're gonna come up with the ideas Ryan , and you're gonna pick'em apart .User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound} Um we decided our remote , uh we want it to be a universal remote uh that everyonewould want . Um we want to be modern , um fun , different . Uh it needs to be sturdy , um easy to find , so we gonna have that locator function . Um and wewant to be different . Um and then we went over a couple of different ideas . Ball-shaped phone . The keyboard shape . Um we decided that it should probably beone-handed . Something we could use with one hand . Um and that was our last meeting . So um why don't um {disfmarker} Do each of you have a presentation?Marketing: Yep .Project Manager: Okay . I'll hand it off to you and um {disfmarker} Does anyone {disfmarker} do you wanna go first ?Marketing: Sure .ProjectManager: So we can maybe see what uh what the people want .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: What was it ? Function ?Industrial Designer: Eight .F_ eight .Marketing: F_ eight ? Well . {vocalsound} How do I get it {disfmarker}User Interface: Slide show .Project Manager: To go to the next one ?Marketing:Oh right right right .Project Manager: Yeah you click on that guy .Marketing: That one ?Project Manager: Yeah .Marketing: Okay . Alright . Well , this is my report, which is going to be based pretty much on a survey that I was sent . Oh gosh , I've no idea . {vocalsound} GUser Interface: Just press the arrow keys I think .Usually goes to it .Marketing: Okay .Project Manager: {vocalsound}Marketing: Sorry I actually need to see something else on my screen .Project Manager:{vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Hit F_ eight again .Marketing: Yeah .Project Manager: I think .Marketing: And then ? Again ?ProjectManager: Yeah . You want it to be on both screens , or just just yours ?Marketing: No I want something else on mine . Is that possible ?Project Manager: Yeahbut I think you have to hit escape . And then you can {disfmarker} Yeah .Marketing: Okay but now you don't have that .Project Manager: Oh hit F_ eight again.Marketing: {vocalsound} Sorry guys .Project Manager: I know . I did the same thing . {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: And then it shouldcome up here shortly . 'Kay .Marketing: {vocalsound} So is there no way I can give you the slideshow andProject Manager: I think {disfmarker} oh give us theslideshow and something on your screen ?Marketing: yeah . Yeah .Project Manager: Mm .Marketing: Oh well .Project Manager: I'm not sure . You could maybeminimise that screen and then have them both up at the same time I think .Marketing: Yeah . It's okay . Okay . Um so first of all , the method that I used was bydoing some marketing research ,Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: by um doing research on some interviews that were conducted . And then someinternet research . And I was sent a report that was {disfmarker} I think there were a hundred remote users that they interviewed . And so I will show you someof the results from that , which I think will be helpful . Um okay here are some of the findings . They said that the users dislike the look and feel of their currentremote controls . And seventy five percent of the users find their remote controls to be ugly . Which is a fairly significant number I would say . And eighty percentof the users would be willing to spend more money if they could get a remote that would look fancy . So I think that earlier we were onto something when wewere talking about having it be a modern cool look , I think that's definitely important . Um they say that current remote controls do not match well the operatingbehaviour of the user . Seventy five percent of users said they zap a lot . And if anyone could clarify what that means ?Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} JustjusUser Interface: Is is it j just justMarketing: Zap , does that just mean like changing the channel ?User Interface: just using itIndustrial Designer: yeah .UserInterface: yeah .Marketing: Okay . {vocalsound} Um and fifty percent of the users say that they're only using ten percent of the buttons on their remote control .And there was something else , they kept track of the frequency per hour in using certain buttons . And some of them it looks like barely need to be included at all. Of course channel selection is used the most frequently . And then teletext was the next . Volume and then power . And then audio settings and screen settingsand channel settings were practically never used . So I think we could definitely eliminate or somehow combine a lot of the functions into one button . Um thebiggest user frustrations , as we said fifty percent of people find that their remotes are lost somewhere , and so I think a tracking device of some sort would be agood idea . They said it take {disfmarker} thirty four percent said it takes too much time to learn how to use a new remote . And twenty six percent said that thecontrols are bad for R_S_I_ . {vocalsound}User Interface: A repetitive strain injury .Marketing: What is it ?User Interface: Just repetitive strain injury . I think .That's what I guess .Marketing: Okay . Okay . And so bas okay . Um as far as speech recognition goes , um the younger group looks like they're all for it . Fromthe fifteen to twenty five age group over ninety percent said they would pay more . And it kind of just went down incrementally . The groups at {disfmarker} theolder they get it looks like the less willing they are to pay , so maybe we could discuss this and think {disfmarker} and decide if we think it's worth investing inthis . At least if we're targeting the younger groups . And so in conclusion . Some things that I drew from this are that I think we were correct . We definitely needto focus on a new modern appearance , since so many people seem to be concerned about the ugliness of their remote control . Um a multifunctional remotecould be a good thing to explore . So you only have one rather than five different remotes sitting all over your room . Uh we need to simplify the remote andreduce the number of buttons , get rid of the ones that don't seem to be serving much purpose . And then lastly I thought that maybe we could discuss the ideaof speech recognition . And that's it .Project Manager: 'Kay . Very nice . Now we actually have some ideas of what what people want , what we should focus on .Uh {disfmarker}Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Wait can I look at that real quick ? {gap} .Marketing: Oh yeah . Sorry did you guys get time to writeeverything that you needed ?User Interface: Yeah .Marketing: 'Kay .User Interface: Having just listened to what Corinne just said , I'll draw on some of the thingsas well . {vocalsound} {gap} Some things that sort of relevant to what I wanna say . 'Kay so I'm just gonna yeah approach the technical functions design . Um{vocalsound} the method I used was to explore the uh technical functions of a remote control .Marketing: {vocalsound}User Interface: And t s simplest approachthat I came to is is to change , programme and operate an electronic device remotely . I mean that's an obvious thing to say , but it's not attached to the devicethat you want to control . Um I had some things sent to me . Not very much . To look at similar devices . Um defined in some them . And then the personalpreferences that I will suggest . Um we discussed a universal one . Um like it's just been brought up again then . But I think a universal remote control is actuallyquite a difficult object to design , and po possibly within maybe the budget that we do it , um because you'd need to know all the spef specifications of a all thelike electronic companies . I'm not sure have you ever come across a universal remote control yourself , but you have to {disfmarker} i they're a nightmare touse . You have to set them , reset them to everything . Um and that would only add buttons . Whereas I think the aim is to take away buttons . So I think it'd bebetter maybe to concentrate on maybe just a universal one for T_V_s . Um or maybe just one that you could we could design and then different people ,manufacturers could use it to set to their specifications , if if the aim is to get something that's unique in design . Um {disfmarker} Okay here here's just twopictures of remote controls . They're just simple T_V_ remote controls . But one is uh user-centred . That is the one on the left . And you can straight away seethere's less buttons . And the other one is {gap} engineer-centred where that's more uh specified for the sort of the elaborate piece of equipment it's trying tocontrol um {disfmarker} {gap} which appeals more to the product that we want , and on what the {gap} have said and the market research and stuff {gap}probably looking at something that should be user-centred . Fewer buttons , simpler to use , and if ten percent um is hidden away {disfmarker} if ten percent iswhat's used , maybe the other fifty percent , the buttons that are used very rarely like programming , they could be hidden maybe under {disfmarker} someremote controls you might have come across have maybe a little flip thi thing where they're hidden away . And the main buttons are the ones you or the ones youcome across . Um and finally , um uh sort I've sort of covered that , our product I think should be user interface orientated . Um {disfmarker} Like I said toconcentrate on T_V_ remote control , a universal remote might be too complex . Um and as what it , the major findings {gap} market researchers have said , it'sthe image and the appearance that people di dislike . So that we should concentrate on something that would set a trend . And that's it .Industrial Designer:{gap} cable there . Thank you .Project Manager: What was your last conclusion on that one ? Focus on uh the iUser Interface: On something on the image of it.Project Manager: the image of it .User Interface: Uh the f the actual design .Project Manager: 'Kay . Good . Good .Industrial Designer: Okay . Gonna talk to you"}

That 's not good .PhD C: YeahPhD A: OK.PhD C: so that 's what we haveGrad E: Alright .Grad F: soPhD C: but that {disfmarker} that will be completely gone if this synch time problemPostdoc G: Yeah.Grad E: The {disfmarker} the glitchPhD A: So {disfmarker} so we have everything recognized but we scored only the first uh whatever , up to that timetoPostdoc G: And the only glitch {disfmarker}Grad E: yeah .Postdoc G: yeah .PhD C: So you guys know .Professor B: S sorry I haven't seen the email ,PhD C:Yeah .Grad E: Th - thePostdoc G: The {disfmarker} the {disfmarker} well {disfmarker} waitProfessor B: what was the score ?PhD C: So here 's the actual copy ofthe emailPostdoc G: we should say something about the glitch . He {disfmarker} he can say something about the glitch .PhD C: um oh OKGrad E: yeah .PostdocG: Cuz it 's {disfmarker} it 's {disfmarker} it 's {disfmarker} h it 's {disfmarker} it 's very small {disfmarker}PhD C: so does this glitch occur at other{disfmarker}Grad E: There {disfmarker} there {disfmarker} there 's an acoustic glitch that occurs where um the channels get slightly asynchronizedPostdoc G:very small .

+{"doc_id":"doc_170","qid":"","text":"Lynne Neagle AM: Good morning, everyone, and welcome to the Children, Young People and Education Committee. We've received apologies for absence fromJanet Finch-Saunders. I'd like to take this opportunity to welcome Suzy Davies to the committee, and to thank Mark Reckless and Darren Millar, who have left us,for their service and hard work as members of the committee. Can I ask whether there are any declarations of interest, please? No. Okay. We will move on thento our evidence session on our inquiry into the impact of Brexit on higher and further education. I'm very pleased to welcome Kirsty Williams, Cabinet Secretaryfor Education, and Eluned Morgan AM, Minister for Welsh Language and Lifelong Learning. Can I just ask you to introduce your officials for the record,please?Kirsty Williams AM: Bore da, Lynne, and thank you for the invitation to join you. Eluned and I are joined this morning by Huw Morris, who's the groupdirector at SHELL—skills, higher education and lifelong learning—and Marie Knox, who is deputy director, overseeing European transition.Lynne Neagle AM: Okay,thank you very much, and thank you for coming. We'll go straight into questions, then, and the first questions are from Suzy Davies.Suzy Davies AM: Thank you.I'd like to ask you both, if that's okay, a little bit about preparedness. But if I could start with higher education, I understand that—I don't know, it must be about18 months ago now—Ken Skates told another committee in this place that there had been nine sector analyses done. Presumably, one of those was HE, becauseof the—well, Welsh Government had a presence, and still does, in Brussels, related to higher education. Apparently, those have now been superseded by workthat's been done by Cardiff University. I don't know if you've got any comments on that research, or whether it's been brought to your attention yet.KirstyWilliams AM: Well, Suzy, following the vote, I was very keen that we work very closely with colleagues in higher education and further education, to get anunderstanding from on the ground about the potential impact. So, in terms of preparedness, we started that group in the September, and that work from thatgroup, which includes both HE and FE, has been instrumental in helping the Government form its views, which were articulated in the Government's White Paper,'Securing Wales' Future'. There has been ongoing work being done—as the debate in London and Europe becomes a little bit more clear, then it becomes a littleless clear, and then a little bit more clear, but, bearing in mind the difficulties of working in an ever-changing field, we have been refining those approaches. Eachinstitution has been looking at their own institution, because, as you can imagine, although we have an overview of the sector, the challenges are very differentfor individual institutions—so their exposure, for instance, to the number of European Union students that they have at their college, or the work that they mightbe doing with Horizon 2020, or their success—and there has been considerable success in the HE field in securing structural funds for various projects—theexposure and the potential impact of leaving the EU, in a 'no deal' or in a 'deal' scenario, is very, very different. But I don't know if, Huw, you want to talk anyfurther.Suzy Davies AM: Maybe just to use the 'no deal' scenario is probably the easiest, isn't it?Kirsty Williams AM: The 'no deal'?Suzy Davies AM: Well, yes,because that's the worst-case scenario, so let's look at that one.Huw Morris: As the Cabinet Secretary mentioned, the higher education Brexit workinggroup's been meeting since September 2016 and has been looking at that in general. More recently, when the prospect of no deal became talked about, officialshave been visiting individual institutions to talk to them about their preparedness for that. As you'll be aware, the funding for much of the activity is secured, webelieve, even under a 'no deal' scenario, until December 2020; that's a letter we had from the Chief Secretary to the Treasury. I think the research you'rereferring to may be research that Cardiff University has been doing with the Bevan Foundation and others. I know there's a report due to be launched later today.We have been doing our own research and looking at the impact on HE, FE and apprenticeship providers.Suzy Davies AM: Well, that's really helpful because myunderstanding was that this Cardiff University research had superseded all those nine sector analyses.Huw Morris: That may be true for the economy brief.Certainly, there are published papers by Max Munday and a team at Cardiff University on the impact of Brexit on the Welsh economy, but for HE and FE andapprenticeship provision, it's as the Cabinet Secretary outlined.Suzy Davies AM: So, are there any formal risk assessments that are available for us to scrutinise,for example? For HE and FE for that matter.Kirsty Williams AM: Well, the Higher Education Funding Council for Wales have been doing some specific work; I can'tcomment on how wide they would want that to be shared. We have been doing some broad analysis, as I said, for the sector, looking at what we can do tomitigate the risk, bearing in mind that each institution is an autonomous institution, a principle that they guard really jealously, and rightly so. So, we have been,as Huw said, because the prospect of a 'no deal' has become, perhaps, more to the forefront, officers have been visiting each institution to try and make sure andto satisfy us, as people who fund part of their activity, that they have their own plans in place to deal with these scenarios. We continue to work alongside them topush the issues that we can help them with. So, for instance, we continue to work with officials in Westminster around Erasmus+ provision in a 'no deal' scenario,what a UK stand-alone project would look like, the impacts of a 'no deal' on Horizon 2020. So, we look at the broader picture and we are encouraging continuallyindividual institutions to make sure that they themselves are looking at their specific needs within that.Suzy Davies AM: Well, if there is something that'sshareable, I'm sure we'd be very pleased to see it—Kirsty Williams AM: Anything that we've got—Suzy Davies AM: —particularly with FE, actually, because, ofcourse, we haven't got a HEFCW for FE; you're doing that regulation yourself. I'd expect to see that type of work evidenced somewhere from within WelshGovernment, and we would be able to see that then.Eluned Morgan AM: So, if I could just make some points on FE. We've been actively engaging with the FEsector. We've spoken to every one of the colleges about how they see things developing. I think it's quite a different response than what is going to be happeningin HE.Suzy Davies AM: Yes, because the student thing isn't such an issue, is it?Eluned Morgan AM: You've got to remember that the FE colleges are much moreanchored within their communities, they're much more localised, and so, for example, the number of EU students in these colleges is significantly lower. Thenumber of staff in these colleges—I think they've analysed that there are only about 71 people. So, we're keeping in touch with them and we're letting them knowwhat we are being told in terms of the Home Office settled status and what we can do to protect those 71. But that's a much bigger issue, I think, for highereducation.Suzy Davies AM: What are they telling you about European social fund funding, though, because, as you say, they're locally anchored—the impact onFE of ESF funding is probably more significant than the issues we're talking about with higher education. How are you finding this out? Is this through one-to-oneconversations?Eluned Morgan AM: We are engaging with them all, and, obviously, we're engaging with ColegauCymru, who've done their own analysis, and whatwe found, in particular, is that the real problems are probably in relation to ESF funding and apprenticeships. But what you've got to remember is that that linkbetween apprenticeships and the local work community is absolutely crucial. So, if—Suzy Davies AM: Yes, that's why I asked.Eluned Morgan AM: —the economynosedives, or if there's an issue that we see—just the dislocation of companies in those areas as a result of Brexit—then that will inevitably have an impact on thenumber of apprenticeships that will be on offer. So, it's those kinds of things, but at the moment I think it's worth pointing out that about £15 million a year goesinto the FE sector just in relation to apprenticeships.Suzy Davies AM: Can I just come back finally on that, before handing over? In both your areas ofresponsibility, there's going to be an impact on Welsh Government in how it responds to that, as well. Can you tell me a little bit about the European transitionteam, which I think is about building resilience within the Welsh Government to deal with the impacts of Brexit? Is that a formal arrangement you have withofficials? I don't really know much about this team, but it seems to meet fortnightly to get Welsh Government ready for Brexit, so could you just give us someclues on this?Marie Knox: Yes, in terms of the European transition team, that's the central co-ordinating group that pulls together all the leads in each departmentwho are pulling together the work on European transition. So, I attend that group in relation to higher education and further education, and, obviously, otherrepresentatives in terms of agriculture, transport, the economy, et cetera.Suzy Davies AM: It's great that you're on that group, but what does it actually do?That's the bit I wasn't sure about.Marie Knox: I guess it provides the governance structure for the Welsh Government as a whole in relation to Europeantransition. So, individual departments do their own work, and the European transition team provides the governance structure, and, also, they lead on thediscussions with the Department for Exiting the European Union, No. 10, the Joint Ministerial Committee—those kinds of ministerial arrangements.Suzy DaviesAM: Thank you. I've had enough time, I think.Lynne Neagle AM: Llyr.Llyr Gruffydd AM: I'll ask my questions in Welsh, if I may. This discussion between HEFCWand higher education, these challenges in terms of how ready they are for the changes to come, and the work that the Government is doing with FE, I suspect, ishappening at an organisational level. So, I just want to hear a little about where the student voice comes into that discussion and where the engagement happensin terms of the students.Kirsty Williams AM: So, we have a close working relationship with the National Union of Students. I meet with them regularly, andofficials are in constant touch with the student voice. They have been very clear, and I think there is a huge amount of consensus between the WelshGovernment, what the universities are asking for and what the students are asking for. You'll have seen, only earlier this week, the very powerful campaign byNUS Wales about the importance of Erasmus+ arrangements. There is a huge amount to be gained for Welsh students and young people participating in theErasmus programme. Many of us, I know, have had the opportunity to study abroad as part of our own studies, and there's a lot to be gained from it. We've beenvery clear from the outset, as have the sector and the student voice, about the importance of participation in that scheme.  NUS are also very concerned that"}

OK so , let 's getstarted . Nancy said she 's coming and that means she will be . Um . My suggestion is that Robert and Johno sort of give us a report on last week 's adventures uhto start . So everybody knows there were these guys f uh from Heidelber - uh , uh , actually from uh DFKI uh , part of the German SmartKom project , who werehere for the week and , I think got a lot done .Grad E: Yeah , I think so too . Um . The {disfmarker} we got to the point where we can now speak into theSmartKom system , and it 'll go all the way through and then say something like \" Roman numeral one , am Smarticus . \" It actually says , \" Roemisch einz , amSmarticus , \"Grad B: OK .Grad E: which means it 's just using a German sythesis module for English sentences .Grad B: OK .Grad E: So uh ,Professor C: Itdoesn't know \" I \" .Grad B: OK .Grad E: Um , the uhGrad B: Oh , Am Spartacus . \"Grad D: \" I am Sm - I am Smarticus \" is what it 's saying .PhD A: Right .Grad B:Verstehe . OK .Grad D: I gueGrad E: The uh sythesis is just a question of um , hopefully it 's just a question of exchanging a couple of files , once we have them .And , um , it 's not going to be a problem because we decided to stick to the so - called concept to speech approach . So I 'm {disfmarker} I 'm {disfmarker} I 'mgoing backwards now , so \" synthesis \" is where you sort of make this {disfmarker} uh , make these sounds , and \" concept to speech \" is feeding into thissynthesis module giving it what needs to be said , and the whole syntactic structure so it can pronounce things better , presumably . Then , just with text tospeech .Grad B: Mm - hmm .Grad E: And , uh , Johno learned how to write XML tags . Uh , and did write the tree adjoining grammar for some {disfmarker} somesentences . No , right ?Grad D: Yeah .Grad E: Yeah , for a couple {disfmarker}Grad D: So . Bu - Uh , i The way the uh , the dialogue manager works is it dumpsout what it wants to know , or what it wants to tell the person , to a {disfmarker} er in XML and there 's a conversion system for different uh , to go from XML tosomething else . And th so , the knowledge base for the system , that generates the syntasti syntactic structures for the ge generation is uh , in a LISP - like{disfmarker} the knowledge base is in a LISP - like form . And then the thing that actually builds these syntactic structures is something based on Prolog . So ,you have a {disfmarker} basically , a goal and it , you know , says \" OK , well I 'm gonna try to do the Greet - the - person goal ,Grad B: Mm - hmm .Grad D: soit just starts {disfmarker} uh , it binds some variables and it just decides to , you know , do some subscold . Basically , it just means \" build the tree . \"Grad B:OK .Grad D: And then it passes the tree onto , uh , the ge the generation module .Grad E: But I think that the point is that out of the twelve possible utterancesthat the German system can do , we 've already written the {disfmarker} the syntax trees for three or four .Grad D: We yeah . So , the syntax trees are verysimple . It 's like most of the sentences in one tree ,Grad B: Mm - hmm .Grad D: and instead of , you know , breaking down to , like , small units and buildingback up , they basically took the sentences , and basically cut them in half , or you know , into thirds or something like that , and made trees out of those . And souh , uh Tilman wrote a little tool that you could take LISP notation and generate an XML , uh , tree . Uh , S what do ca structure from the {disfmarker} from theLISP . And so basically you just say , you know , \" noun goes to \" , you know , Er , nah , I don't re I 've never been good at those . So there 's like the VP goes toN and those things in LISP , and it will generate for you .Grad B: OK . N , N , V yeah , OK . Alright .Grad E: And because we 're sticking to that structure , thesynthesis module doesn't need to be changed . So all that f fancy stuff , and the Texas speech version of it , which is actually the simpler version , is gonna bedone in October which is much too late for us . So . This way we {disfmarker} we worked around that . The , uh {disfmarker} the system , um {disfmarker} I canshow you the system . I actually want , at least , maybe , you should be able to start it on your own . If you wanna play around with it , in th in the future . Rightnow it 's brittle and you need to ch start it up and then make ts twenty changes on {disfmarker} on {disfmarker} on {disfmarker} on seventeen modules beforethey actually can stomach it , anything . And send in a {disfmarker} a {disfmarker} a couple of side queries on some dummy center set - up program so that itactually works because it 's designed for this seevit thing , where you have the gestural recognition running with this s Siemens virtual touch screen , which wedon't have here .Grad B: Mm - hmm .Grad E: And so we 're doing it via mouse , but the whole system was designed to work with this thing and it was{disfmarker} It was a lot of engineering stuff . No science in there whatsoever , but it 's working now , and um , that 's the good news . So everything elseactually did prove to be language independent except for the parsing and the generation .Grad D: Why {disfmarker} I had {disfmarker} I did need to changenerate different trees than the German ones , mainly because you know like uh , the gerund in {disfmarker} in German is automatically taken care of with justa regular verb ,Grad E: You have to switch it on .Grad B: Mm - hmm .Grad D: so I 'd uh have to add \" am walking , \"Grad B: OK .Grad D: or I 'd have to add alittle stem for the \" am \" , when I build the {disfmarker} built the tree .Grad B: OK . Yeah , I noticed that um , that some of the examples they had , had youknow , non - English word orders and so on , you know . And then all that good stuff . So .Professor C: Alright .Grad D: Yeah .Grad B: Like .Professor C: So itmight be worth , Keith , you looking at this ,Grad B: Yeah .Professor C: umGrad B: I {disfmarker} I still don't {disfmarker} I still don't really understand e like{disfmarker}Grad D: Well Tilman sGrad B: I mean we sort of say , um {disfmarker} You know , I {disfmarker} I still don't exactly understand sort of theinformation flow uh in {disfmarker} in this thing , or what the modules are and so on . So , you know , like just that such - and - such module uh um decides thatit wants to achieve the goal of greeting the user , and then magically it sort of sProfessor C: Yeah {disfmarker}Grad B: I mean , how does it know which syntacticstructure to pull out , and all that ?Professor C: I thi Yeah . So . I think it 's not worth going over in the group ,Grad B: R uh Sure .Professor C: but sort of whenyou get free and you have the time uh either Robert or Johno or I can walk you through it .Grad B: Yeah , soon . OK .Professor C: And you can ask all thequestions about how this all fits together .Grad B: That 's fine .Professor C: It 's eee {comment} messy but once you understand it you understand it . It 's{disfmarker} it 's {disfmarker} There 's nothing really complicated about it .Grad B: OK .Grad E: No .Grad B: And I remember one thing that {disfmarker} thatcame up in the talk last Wednesday . Um , was this , I {disfmarker} I think he talked about the idea of like , um {disfmarker} He was talking about theselexicalized uh , uh , tree adjoining grammars where you sort of {disfmarker} for each word you , um {disfmarker}Grad D: OK , you know how to do it ?Grad B:For each lexical item , the lexical entry says what all the uh trees are that it can appear in . And of course , that 's not v That 's the opposite of constructional .That 's , you know , that 's {disfmarker} that 's HPSG or whatever .Professor C: Right .Grad B: You know ?Professor C: Right . Now , we 're {disfmarker} we 'renot committed for our research to {pause} do any of those things .Grad B: Yeah . Mm - hmm .Professor C: So uh we are committed for our funding .Grad B:Right .Professor C: OK ? to {pause} uh {disfmarker}Grad B: Make our stuff fit to that .Professor C: Yeah , to {disfmarker} n no , to just get the dem get thedemos they need .Grad B: Uh - huh .Professor C: OK ? So between us all we have t to get th the demos they need . If it turns out we can also give them lotsmore than that by , you know , tapping into other things we do , that 's great .Grad D: You should probably move the microphone closer to your face .Grad B: Mm- hmm .Professor C: But i it turns out not to be in an any of the contractsGrad D: There 's like a little {disfmarker} The twisty thing , you can move it with .GradB: OK .Professor C: and , s deliberately . So , the reason I 'd like you to understand uh what 's going on in this demo system is not because it 's important to theresearch . It 's just for closure . So that if we come up with a question of \" could we fit this deeper stuff in there ? \" or something . You know what the hell we we're talking about fitting in .Grad B: Right . OK .Professor C: So it 's just , uh in the sam same actually with the rest of us we just need to really understand what 'sthere . Is there anything we can make use of ? Uh , is there anything we can give back , beyond th the sort of minimum requirements ? But none of that has ashort time fuse .Grad B: OK .Professor C: So th the demo the demo requirements for this Fall are sort of taken care of as of later this week or something . Andthen {disfmarker} So , it 's probably fifteen months or something until there 's another serious demo requirement .Grad B: Oh OK .Professor C: That doesn'tmean we don't think about it for fifteen months ,Grad B: Right .Professor C: but it means we can not think about it for six months .Grad B: Right , yeah .ProfessorC: So . The plan for this summer uh , really is to step back from the applied project ,Grad E: Right .Professor C: keep the d keep the context open , but actuallygo after the basic issues .Grad B: Hmm . Oh OK .Professor C: And , so The idea is there 's this uh , other subgroup that 's worrying about formalizing the notagetting a notation . But sort of in parallel with that , uh , the hope is tha in particularly you will work on constructions in English Ge - and German for this domain,Grad B: Mm - hmm .Professor C: but y not worry about parsing them or fitting them into SmartKom or any of the other {disfmarker} anything lik any otherconstraints for the time being .Grad B: Yeah . OK . Got it .Professor C: It 's hard enough to get it semantically and syntactically right and then {disfmarker} andget the constructions in their form and stuff .Grad B: Yeah .Professor C: And , I don I don't want you f feeling that you have to somehow meet all these otherconstraints .Grad B: Right , OK .Professor C: Um . And similarly with the parsing , uh we 're gonna worry about parsing uh , the general case you know ,construction parser for general constructions . And , if we need a cut - down version for something , or whatever , we 'll worry about that later .Grad B: OK.Professor C: So I 'd like to , for the summer turn into science mode .Grad B: OK .Professor C: And I assume that 's also , uh , your plan as well .Grad B: So Imean , the {disfmarker} the point is that like the meetings um so far that I 've been at have been {disfmarker} sort of been geared towards this demo ,ProfessorC: Right . Yeah . Yeah .Grad B: and then that 's going to go away pretty soon .Professor C: But {disfmarker} but we we 're switGrad B: OK .Professor C: Right"}

Uh if you have thefinder feature then you can also haveIndustrial Designer: Okay .User Interface: uh at the same time as {disfmarker} and general voice commands if you wantyeah . {vocalsound} So I think it should be a package in that case .Industrial Designer: Mm-hmm .User Interface: Uh so the user interface will consist of twoparts . {vocalsound} One is the voice command part and on one is the actual buttons part . {vocalsound} Uh and th the buttons part would be uh a set of buttonsfor choosing devices , a set of buttons for special navigation in space ,Industrial Designer: Mm-hmm . Mm-hmm .User Interface: a set of buttons for{vocalsound} linear access of medium and a set of buttons for random access .Project Manager: Okay .User Interface: Yeah ?Industrial Designer: What do youmean by linear access then ?User Interface: Like a video tape goes forward , backwards , uh fast and stuff yeah .Industrial Designer: Ah .Project Manager: Okayso special navigation , linear access , random accessUser Interface: Um .Project Manager: and there's a fourth one no ?User Interface: Mm ?Project Manager: Sothe better now for special navigation ?User Interface: Yeah . For special navigation for example you might have a T_V_ in the menu and you going to change yeah?Project Manager: Okay . Then linear accessUser Interface: Uh .Project Manager: then random access .User Interface: Mm . Yeah and also parameter changing.Project Manager: Ah yeah parameter okay .User Interface: {vocalsound} So if there are common parameters maybe we should put special buttons for thatumProject Manager: Okay .User Interface: or maybe we could have everything uh generic but uh there are a lot of uh remotes on the market right now and{vocalsound} basically this is most of the {disfmarker} almost everybody has this stuff .Project Manager: Okay . Okay and and voice command did you uh{disfmarker}User Interface: Voice command w we could specify anything . We could assign any button {disfmarker} a command to any button , if we haveenough processing power ,Project Manager: Okay . Okay .User Interface: I guess so . {vocalsound} Yeah .Project Manager: Okay .User Interface: Yeah .ProjectManager: So that's uh that close your investigations ?User Interface: Yeah .Project Manager: Okay .User Interface: Uh yeah I think so .Project Manager: Okay.User Interface: Not so far .Project Manager: Maybe we can have a look at the user requirements with {disfmarker}Marketing: Yeah . {vocalsound} Um I dunno ifyou can open the {disfmarker}Project Manager: I dunno if I can open it . Maybe you can sMarketing: uh m is not here .Project Manager: It's{disfmarker}Marketing: Uh in {disfmarker} yeah okay .Project Manager: Messenger no ?Marketing: No . In document {gap} . Mm computer yeah .ProjectManager: In which folder ?User Interface: Where did you put it ?Marketing: Here . Here .Project Manager: {vocalsound} Short-cut to AMI shared folder ?UserInterface: {gap} mm .Marketing: But it's not {disfmarker} Um .Project Manager: Maybe you can send it to me by email . Just to participant one . At AMI.Marketing: Mm-hmm . Yeah , I can do that .Project Manager: I will try to show it to everyone , that would be more comfortable .Marketing: Okay . Um .ProjectManager: You send it ?Marketing: {vocalsound} It's participant one ?Project Manager: Yeah . Uh this is this email .User Interface: I'm designing the userinterface . {vocalsound}Marketing: Okay . You can uh .Project Manager: Okay . So maybe I can switch slides when you {disfmarker} whenever you ask,Marketing: Yeah .Project Manager: that will be more convenient . So okay , functional requirements .Marketing: Okay so you can {disfmarker} you can go . Okayso {vocalsound} in our usability lab we observed the remote control use among one hundred subjectsProject Manager: Mm .Marketing: and the subjects alsofilled a questionnaireProject Manager: Yeah .Marketing: okay ? And here I have the results so you can see that um seventy five per cent of users find mostremote controls ugly so we have to find something to make them more {vocalsound} more nice , more kind . Eighty per cents of users would spend more moneywhen the remote control would look fancy . {vocalsound} Eighty hundred per cent of users would spend more money when the remote control would look{disfmarker}Project Manager: {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: oh {disfmarker} to {disfmarker} it's not good . {vocalsound} So okay.Project Manager: We can just keep doing that ?Marketing: So it's not in theory {disfmarker} but I I can I can say yeah . {vocalsound}Project Manager: Yeah.Marketing: Fifty f uh seventy five per cent of users say they s zap a lot . So mm {vocalsound} we have to have a remote control uh very um {vocalsound} outfor that . {vocalsound} Uh the buttons have {disfmarker} are to be um uh uh like you say resist resisting to to shocks .Project Manager: Okay .Marketing:{vocalsound} Um and fifty per cents of users say they only use uh {vocalsound} ten per cents of but of the buttons in the {disfmarker} in the remote control.Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Okay .Marketing: So all the buttons we we have to put are {disfmarker} have to to have um a use a realuseProject Manager: Okay .Marketing: and not only or {disfmarker}Project Manager: Okay , so fewer buttons maybe would be good ?Marketing: Yeah . F notmany buttons , and uh and uh uh u useable buttons {vocalsound} .Project Manager: Okay .User Interface: But what kind of remote controls did you look at?Marketing: Sorry ?User Interface: What kind of task was it ? It was a T_V_ ?Marketing: Yeah . Uh {vocalsound} most for most is T_V_ .Project Manager: Yeah .Yeah but in fact we {disfmarker} it it seems that we are going to make a T_V_ remote control according to new requirements I received from themanagementUser Interface: Huh .Project Manager: bo I will present them in the following .User Interface: Uh-huh . Ah ! Good .Marketing: {vocalsound} 'Kay youcan go so .Project Manager: Okay .Marketing: So there are other frustrations expressed by users , so they said uh they lost uh often the remote control in in theroom so they want to have a way to {vocalsound} toProject Manager: Yeah . To find it .Marketing: to find it .Project Manager: Yeah .Marketing: Um and um lot ofthe time they {disfmarker} it takes too much time to learn how to use a new remote control .Project Manager: Yeah .Marketing: So they want something s reallyvery simple and uh easy to use .Industrial Designer: Mm-hmm .Project Manager: Okay .Marketing: And uh remote controls are bad forProject Manager: What isher other side ?Marketing: R_S_I_ {vocalsound} um {disfmarker}User Interface: Other side yeah , yo wa your wristMarketing: I dunno .Project Manager:{vocalsound}User Interface: It i can become painful you can have tendonditis .Project Manager: Oh yeah ?User Interface: Yeah .Project Manager: I did not knewthat .User Interface: If you also {gap} up on a computer in a strange position .Project Manager: Okay so you {disfmarker} we have to make it uh moreergonomic yeah .User Interface: Ergonomic . But uh {vocalsound} .Marketing: Yeah .User Interface: Have to say ha ha . {vocalsound}Project Manager:{vocalsound} It's your job {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Oh . {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound} Uh .Project Manager: Uh sorry"}
+{"doc_id":"doc_173","qid":"","text":"Grad A: Yeah , I think I got my mike on . OK . Let 's see .Professor B: OK . Ami , do yours then we 'll open it and I think it 'll be enough .Grad A: Mmm{disfmarker} Doesn't , uh {disfmarker} It should be the other way . Yeah , now it 's on .PhD F: Right . OK .Professor B: OK . So , we all switched on ?Grad A: Weare all switched on , yeah .Professor B: Alright . Anyway . So , uh , before we get started with the , uh , technical part , I just want to review what I think ishappening with the {disfmarker} our data collection .PhD F: We are all switched on .Professor B: So {disfmarker} {vocalsound} Uh , probably after today ,{vocalsound} that shouldn't come up in this meeting . Th - this {disfmarker} this is s should be im it isn't {disfmarker} There 's another thing going on ofgathering data , and that 's pretty much independent of this . But , uh , I just want to make sure we 're all together on this . What we think is gonna happen isthat , uh , in parallel starting about now {vocalsound} we 're gonna get Fey {vocalsound} to , where you 're working with me and Robert , draft a note that we 'regonna send out to various CogSci c and other classes saying , \" here 's an opportunity to be a subject . Contact Fey . \" And then there 'll be a certain number ofum , hours during the week which she will be available and we 'll bring in people . Uh , roughly how many , Robert ? We d Do we know ?Grad C: Um , fifty wasour {disfmarker} sort of our first {disfmarker}Professor B: OK . So , we 're looking for a total of fifty people , not necessarily by any means all students but we 'lls we 'll start with {disfmarker} with that . In parallel with that , we 're gonna need to actually do the script . And , so , I guess there 's a plan to have a meetingFriday afternoon Uh , with {disfmarker} uh , Jane , and maybe Liz and whoever , on actually getting the script worked out . But what I 'd like to do , if it 's O K ,{vocalsound} is to s to , as I say , start the recruiting in parallel and possibly start running subjects next week . The week after that 's Spring Break , and maybewe 'll look for them {disfmarker} some subjects next doorGrad C: Yeah .Professor B: or {pause} iGrad C: Yeah . Also , Fey will not be here during spring break.Professor B: Oh , OK , then we won't do it .Grad C: So .Professor B: OK . So that 's easy . Um . So , is {disfmarker} Is that make sense to everybody ?Grad C:Yeah . Also , um , F {vocalsound} both Fey and I will , um , {vocalsound} do something of which I may , eh {disfmarker} kindly ask you to {disfmarker} to dothe same thing , which is we gonna check out our social infrastructures for possible subjects . Meaning , {vocalsound} um , kid children 's gymnastic classes , pre- school parents and so forth . They also sometimes have flexible schedules . So , if you happen to be sort of in a non - student social setting , and you knowpeople who may be interested in being subjects {disfmarker} We also considered using the Berkeley High School and their teachers , maybe , and get theminterested in stuff .Professor B: That 's a good idea .Grad C: And , um . So that 's as far as our brainstorming was concerned .Professor B: Oh , yeah . The highschool 's a great idea .Grad C: So . But I {disfmarker} I will just make a first draft of the , uh , note , the \" write - up \" note , send it to you and Fey and then{disfmarker}Professor B: And why don't you also copy Jane on it ?Grad C: And , um , Are we {disfmarker} Have we concurred that , uh , these {disfmarker}these forms are sufficient for us , and necessary ?Professor B: Uh , th I think they 're necessary . This {disfmarker} The permission form .Grad C: Mmm.Professor B: Uh , there has to be one ,Grad C: Nuh . N .Professor B: and I think we 're just gonna use it as it is , and {pause} UmGrad C: N . You happy with that?Professor B: Well , yeah . There 's one tricky part about , um , they have the right um I The last paragraph {comment} \" if you agree to participate you have theopportunity to have anything excised which you would prefer not to have included in the data set . \" OK ? Now that , we had to be included for this other onewhich might have , uh , meetings , you know , about something .Grad C: Mm - hmm .Professor B: In this case , it doesn't really make sense . Um , so what I 'dlike to do is also have our subjects sign a waiver saying \" I don't want to see the final transcript \" .Grad C: Mm - hmm .Professor B: And if they don't {disfmarker}If they say \" no , I 'm not willing to sign that \" , then we 'll show them the final transcript . But , um .Grad C: Yep . Makes sense .Professor B: That , uh{disfmarker} yeah , so we might actually , um S i Jane may say that , \" you know , you can't do this \" , uh , \" on the same form , we need a separate form . \" Butanyway . I 'd {disfmarker} I 'd {disfmarker} I 'd like to , e e um , add an a little thi eh {disfmarker} a thing for them to initial , saying \" nah , do I don't want tosee the final transcript . \"Grad C: Mm - hmm .Professor B: But other than that , that 's one 's been approved , this really is the same project , uh , rec you know .And so forth . So I think we just go with it .Grad C: Yeah . Yeah . OK . So much for the data , except that with Munich everything is fine now . They 're gonna{vocalsound} transcribe . They 're also gonna translate the , uh , German data from the TV and cinema stuff for Andreas . So . They 're {disfmarker} they allseem to be happy now , {vocalsound} with that . So . w c sh should we move on to the technical sides ?Professor B: Yep .Grad C: Well I guess the good{disfmarker} good news of last week was the parser . So , um Bhaskara and I started working on the {disfmarker} {vocalsound} the parser . Then Bhaskarawent to class and once he came back , um , {vocalsound} it was finished . So . It , uh {disfmarker} I didn't measure it , but it was about an hour and ten minutes.Grad D: Yep .Grad C: And , um {disfmarker} and now it 's {disfmarker} We have a complete English parser that does everything the German parser does .GradD: Something like that .Professor B: Which is {vocalsound} not a lot . But {disfmarker}Grad D: That 's the , uh , point .Grad C: The {disfmarker} uh , that 's nota lot .Professor B: OK .Grad D: Yes .Professor B: Right .Grad C: And um .Grad E: What did you end up having to do ? I mean , wha Was there anything {pause}interesting about it at all ?Grad C: Well , if you , eh {disfmarker}Grad D: We 'll show you .Professor B: Yeah , we can show us ,Grad E: or are we gonna see that?Professor B: right ?Grad C: Well , w w We d The first we did is we {disfmarker} we tried to {disfmarker} to do {disfmarker} change the {disfmarker} the \"laufen \" into \" run \" , {vocalsound} or \" running \" , {vocalsound} or \" runs \" .Professor B: Yep .Grad C: And we noticed that whatever we tried to do , it no effect.Grad E: Mm - hmm .Grad C: And we were puzzled .Grad E: OK .Grad C: And , uh , the reason was that the parser i c completely ignores the verb .Grad E: Mm -hmm .Grad C: So this sentence {disfmarker} sentence is {disfmarker} parses the p the same output ,Grad E: Hmm . Interesting parser property .Grad C: um ,even if you leave out , um , all {disfmarker} all of this .Grad E: I see . Yeah .Grad C: So it 's basically feature film and TV .Grad E: TodayGrad C: That 's what youneed .Grad E: OK .Grad C: If {disfmarker} if you 'd add {disfmarker} add Today and Evening , it 'll add Time or not .Grad E: And the {disfmarker} t and the time, right ?Grad C: So it {disfmarker} i it does look at that .Grad E: OK .Grad C: But all the rest is p simply frosting on the cake , and it 's optional for that parser.Grad E: True .Professor B: So , you can sho You {disfmarker} you {disfmarker} Are {disfmarker} are you gonna show us the little templates ?Grad C: And{disfmarker}Grad E: SGrad C: Yeah . We ar we can sh er {disfmarker} I can show you the templates . I {disfmarker} I also have it running here ,Grad E: Theformer end g \" Oh , I see . Uh - huh .Grad C: so if I {vocalsound} do this now , um , {vocalsound} you can see that it parsed the wonderful English sentence , \"Which films are on the cinema today {pause} evening ? \" But , um .Professor B: Well , that sounds {disfmarker}Grad C: Uh do don't worry about it .Professor B:No iGrad C: It could be \" this evening , which {disfmarker} which films are on the cinema \" , or \" running in the cinema , which {disfmarker} \" uh , \" todayevening \" , uh i \" Is anything happening in the cinema this evening ? \"Grad E: OK . OK . Key words , e basically .Professor B: WellGrad C: Ge - elaborate , or ,more or less , {vocalsound} uh {disfmarker}Professor B: Actually , it 's a little tricky , in that there 's some allowable German orders which aren't allowableEnglish orders and so forth . And it is order - based . So it {disfmarker} it {disfmarker} Isn't it ?Grad C: No .Grad D: No .Professor B: Oh . So it {disfmarker} itdoe I it {disfmarker} These {disfmarker} u these optional elements ,Grad C: It is not {disfmarker}Professor B: it 's {disfmarker} it 's actually a set , not asequence ?Grad C: Yeah . We were {disfmarker} I was afraid that , um {disfmarker}Professor B: Oh !Grad E: So it really is key word matching , basically.Professor B: Really a seGrad C: Um .PhD F: e yeah . Mm - hmm .Professor B: Oh , wow .Grad C: Um , I mean , these sentences are just silly .Grad E: Hmm.Grad C: I mean , uh , d these were not the ones we {disfmarker} we actually did it . Um . What 's an idiomatic of phrasing this ? Which films are {pause}showing ?Grad D: Are pl playing at the cinema ?Grad C: playing ?Grad D: Yeah .Grad E: Tonight ?Grad D: I changed that file , actually , where it 's on my account.Grad E: This {disfmarker} this evening ?PhD F: Actually , you would say , \" which films are on tonight ? \"Grad D: You want to get it ? Or {disfmarker} is{disfmarker} di was it easy to get it ?Grad C: Um . I have no net here .Grad D: Oh , OK .Professor B: Do I ?Grad C: OK . So . Wonderful parse , same thing . Um.Professor B: Right .Grad C: Except that we d w we don't have this , uh , time information here now , which is , um {disfmarker} Oh . This {disfmarker} are thereserve . Anyways . {vocalsound} So . Um . These are the {disfmarker} sort of the ten different sentence types that the uh {disfmarker} {vocalsound} theparser was able to do . And it still is , now in English .Professor B: Yeah .Grad E: Mm - hmm .Grad C: And , um {disfmarker} Sorry . And , um you have already tomake it a little bit more elaborate , right ?Grad D: Yeah , I mean I changed those sentences to make it , uh , more , uh , idiomatic . And , of course , you can havei many variations in those sentences , they will still parse fine . So , in a sense it 's pretty broad .Professor B: OK .Grad C: OK . So , if you want to look at thetemplates , {vocalsound} {vocalsound} they 're conveniently located in a file , \" template \" . Um , and this is what I had to do . I had to change , @ @{comment} \" Spielfilm \" to \" film \" , uh , \" Film \" to \" movie \" , cinem \" Kino \" to \" cinema \" {disfmarker} to \" today \" {disfmarker} heu \" heute \" to \" today \",Grad E: Huh .Grad C: evening {disfmarker} \" Abend \" to \" evening \"Professor B: Capitalized as wellGrad A: Hmm .Grad C: And , um .Professor B: Y iGrad D: Onething I was wondering , was , those functions there , are those things that modify the M - three - L basically ?Grad C: Yep .Grad D: OK .Grad C: And that 's{disfmarker} that 's the next step ,Professor B: pGrad C: but we 'll get to that in a second .Professor B: Oh .Grad C: And so this means , um , \" this \" and \" see \""}
+{"doc_id":"doc_174","qid":"","text":"Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Okay , welcome to the second meeting of this uh design group . Um {vocalsound} I'll briefly go through theuh notes of the of the last meeting uh just done in in note form and I haven't attributed anything to individuals , because we're working strictly as a team hereand uh n nobody's working equally ,User Interface: Sorry .Project Manager: so uh . Um we we s we saw that the the problems with existing remote controls werethe uh b a boring shape and boring colour . Um and and we s we saw that the um what we needed to do was to to make sure the device um controls severalitems , that switching was easy , that you shouldn't need to point the thing at uh anything in particular , um that it need to be contoured to make it interesting ,that the keys might be concave , simply because that hasn't been done before that we know of . Um should have interchangeable fascias so people canpersonalise it , um illuminated so that people can see it in dark rooms . Um and that people might want it as as {disfmarker} in addition to their existing remotecontrols . Um {vocalsound} and that it sh it should just always work , whenever you uh um mm uh use it . And that it shouldn't be too small , mm that it it getslost . Um . {gap} Now uh uh I'll shortly ask for for three three presentations . Uh before I do that , however , I will go through some new project requirementsthat um {disfmarker} the the management have placed on us and uh will be challenging in terms of what we discussed at the first meeting . Um the uh the mathe management has had it's own thoughts on this and uh the they don't necessarily agree with with what we uh we thought . Um and and then we'll{disfmarker} as a result of that we will then talk through the the functions that we see the the device um actually b carrying out , and we have uh forty minutesto do this in and I uh {disfmarker} Anyway . Okay . Now , the n the new requirements are um the the management team see that um teletext is no longer of anyimportance given the uh the rise of the internet . Um and and they want it only to cover televisions . Um now , what is not q quite clear from their directive iswhether they mean th they don't want it to cover teletext or whether they don't want it to cover , you know , videos , D_V_D_s , um satellite boxes , which uh{disfmarker} I mean we saw as being fundamental to the uh to the exercise . The um the actual wording of the directive is that it should cover television only .Um and on that basis um I I think we we need to bear that in mind , um but possibly uh keep at the backs of our minds that the reality that people even whenthey uh no longer {disfmarker} they don't look at teletext anymore , they certainly do look at other things . Um {vocalsound} the device has to incorporate thecompany logo and colours . Um the the logo uh being at b the bottom of the screen there , the the the two R_s in grey against uh a yellow background . Um nowthis doesn't {vocalsound} necessarily mean that we have to give up some of our ideas about making it attractive to the t to the market . But uh do do introducesome some constraints as to how we might do that . Um it also has to be simple , which to some extent goes along w with the first one , and that {disfmarker}we've already said that it must be simple 'cause that's what people want anyway . Um but they also want it to be simple to get it to the market quickly , which ummm {vocalsound} uh is is is their choice , but uh um we we need to talk that through . Um okay , so uh after the meeting it'll be summarised and uhIndustrialDesigner: {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: um notes sent out and uh etcetera . Okay , so {vocalsound} we'll first of all mm haveindividual reports from everybody . Um again I {vocalsound} {disfmarker} there is no order of precedence here um so I I I'll leave it up to you to {disfmarker}who who who thinks they would like to go go first ?Marketing: Uh I don't mind . {gap}Project Manager: P fine .Marketing: Uh can I steal the cable ?ProjectManager: Oh sorry , you can indeed .Marketing: Cheers .Project Manager: {vocalsound} {vocalsound} {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound} I got a{disfmarker} how do I start there ?Project Manager: Oh , if you click on the um uh the one that that looks like a projection screen , no the one to the right of that. That one .Marketing: That one . Cool . Well these are functionality requirements from the {disfmarker} our our guys down in the the research lab . Tookhundred people and covered all the aspects of what um is needed by people and what they want to see . Um {vocalsound} everything kinda from functionalityand how individual functions are {disfmarker} how mu how how often they're used and how much their necessary and stuff . And general opinions about currentcurrent remotes . See that , as we kinda noticed , seventy five percent of people find their remote controls ugly . So some kind of a new style should beincorporated that's less ugly {vocalsound} . Uh along with um looking less ugly , if it looks better , eighty percent of people said they'd spend more money on it .Which is a a plus for us , if we can make it look better , it'd be uh more cost effective and we can put the price up . Current remote controls do not match theoperating behaviour of the user . I can empl I kinda take that to mean as um {vocalsound} they they don't uh {disfmarker} they , yeah , they only use{disfmarker} they only work for the television or yeah like as in in my flat I've got six remote controls for a stereo system , a digital box , a D_V_D_ player , avideo player and T_V_ . If it was uh {disfmarker} I mean th my behaviour is to use multiple things at the same time and multiple remotes aren't really matchedwell to my behaviour . {vocalsound} Uh again , seventy five percent is {disfmarker} seventy five percent of users say they zap a lot . I took to mean that theyjust {disfmarker} they use it a lot , they use it regularly rather than standing up and manually change channels or volume {gap} . {vocalsound} And uh yeah ,uh I think the big issue is fifty percent users only use ten percent of the buttons , 'cause uh wh if we got a remote that like {disfmarker} well we'll have somebuttons taken off by the lack of teletext , but uh oh and we're going to see uh on the {disfmarker} uh that some of the functions like audio settings aren't hhardly ever used and used very {disfmarker} aren't considered relevant by the user . So I think maybe fewer buttons , which also make the design look sleeker ,I dunno . Uh um yeah and uh frustrations of like people losing remote control .Project Manager: Mm .Marketing: I dunno maybe some kind of system of you pressa button on the T_V_ or maybe that's b it would have to incorporate {gap} , but like some kind of system where you can f use something else to find the remotecontrol . Maybe like it'll beep or something . And um , yep , the uh time taken to learn new remote controls is {disfmarker} Uh don't want to make it toocomplicated , easy to use for uh new {disfmarker} like first time users and stuff . And uh repetitive strain injury , I suppose we should make it more comfortableand make ma possibly even use {disfmarker} have to make it , yeah , fewer buttons , like I was saying about the whole mice {disfmarker} the mouse idea of itfeels more comfortable .Project Manager: Mm .Marketing: Maybe don't even have to hold it as such .Project Manager: Gosh , must be some telly addicts out thereif they get R_S_I_ from their television remote , is all I can say .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}User Interface:{vocalsound}Marketing: But uh yeah . It also asked um if we would {disfmarker} if people would pay more for speech recognitionProject Manager: {vocalsound}{gap}Marketing: and younger people say they would . And uh there was another section on our {disfmarker} on the report for uh L_C_D_ displays , but the datawasn't there , so . I don't actually know what the results for that were ,Project Manager: Mm . Right . Mm .Marketing: so . {vocalsound} May be incrementallyemitting , but yeah .Project Manager: Yeah , I must say that um the uh {disfmarker} I c can't remember what {vocalsound} um f you know phone service I wasusing the other day , but that had sorta speech recognition which worked uh remarkably well , so that is indeed a uh um a thoughtMarketing: And uh{vocalsound} it would cut out the R_S_I_ as well if you {disfmarker} {vocalsound}Project Manager: and it it cuts out uh {disfmarker} I was was gonna say , youcan't get a lot of R_S_I_ ,Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: j just get jaw ache . Okay , sorry . {vocalsound}Marketing: Yeah , um {disfmarker}oh yeah , so possibly the speech recognition is possibly something could add into the design . Oh , I've got some other things I couldn't fit onto this presentation .Um . You see this okay ? Almost {disfmarker} no ? It's {disfmarker} sorry it's a bit {gap} . I'll read out to you . Uh functionality , uh like people's opinions onfunctionality , the relevance to the remote and how often they're used . So um like the power . Using the using the d swi the power switch to switch on T_V_ is ahigh relevance of nine , but it's not frequently used . You see what I mean ?Project Manager: Yeah . {vocalsound}Marketing: Whereas channel selection , which isvery high relevanceProject Manager: Mm-hmm .Marketing: is used the most . So m we can maybe even start to cut down on {disfmarker} or I was possibly eventhinking of a design that maybe some of the buttons are hidden from everyday use . Maybe like uh a folding ledge or something . So that we can maybe go intothe channel settings and the audio settings ,Industrial Designer: Mm .Marketing: which are low relevanceProject Manager: {vocalsound} Mm-hmm .

Do we do th do you go around the room{pause} and do names or anything ?Grad G: I think that {disfmarker}PhD E: It 's a good idea .Grad G: u usually we 've done that and also we 've s done digitsas well , but I forgot to print any out .

Yeah .Professor A: Yeah .Postdoc H: Otherwise you just get aheartbeats .Professor A: It 's kind of {disfmarker}Professor D: Oh , yeah , the element , yeah , n should be as close to you {disfmarker} your mouth as possible.Professor A: Yeah . OK .PhD E: That 's good . That kind of thing is good .Postdoc H: It 's a {disfmarker}Professor A: This w Alright .PhD E: Yeah .Professor A:How 's that working ?Professor D: Yeah .PhD E: Oh , yeah . It 's a {disfmarker} It 's working .Professor A: OK .Professor D: Alright . So what we had {pause} wasthat we were gonna talk about data collection , and , um , uh , you {disfmarker} you put up there data format ,Professor A: Um .Professor D: and other tasksduring data collection ,Professor A: So , I think the goal {disfmarker} the goal was what can we do {disfmarker} how can you do the data collection differently toget {disfmarker}Professor D: and {disfmarker}Professor A: what can you add to it to get , um , some information that would be helpful for the user - interfacedesign ? Like {disfmarker}Grad G: Uh , especially for querying .Professor A: Especially for querying . So , getting people to do queries afterwards , getting peopleto do summaries afterwards . Um .Postdoc H: Well , one thing that came up in the morning {disfmarker} in the morning was the , um , i uh , if he {disfmarker} I, um {disfmarker} if he has {disfmarker} s I {disfmarker} I don't remember , Mister Lan - Doctor Landry ?Grad G: Landay . James .Postdoc H: La - Landay ? Sohe has , um , these , uh , um , tsk {comment} note - taking things ,Professor A: Mm - hmm .Postdoc H: then that would sort of be a summary which youwouldn't have to solicit . y if {disfmarker} if we were able to {disfmarker} to do that .Professor A: Well , if {disfmarker} if you actually take notes as a summaryas opposed to n take notes in the sense of taking advantage of the time - stamps . So action item or uh , reminder to send this to so - and - so , blah - blah - blah.Postdoc H: Mm - hmm .Professor A: So that wouldn't be a summary . That would just be {disfmarker} that would b relate to the query side .Grad G: But if wehad the CrossPads , we could ask people , you know , if {disfmarker} if something comes up {vocalsound} write it down and mark it {vocalsound} {pause}somehow ,Postdoc H: Mm - hmm .PhD E: Right . I mean , we {disfmarker} because you 'd have several people with these pads , you could collect different things.Grad G: you know .Professor A: Right .PhD E: I mean , cuz I tend to take notes which are summaries . And so , you know {disfmarker}PhD F: I mean , the down- side to that is that he sort of indicated that the , uh , quality of {vocalsound} the handwriting recognition was quite poor .Professor A: Well {disfmarker}Grad G:But that 's alright . I don't think there 'd be so many that you couldn't have someone clean it upProfessor A: So {disfmarker}Grad G: pretty easily .Professor A:Yeah . We also could come up with some code for things that people want to do so that {disfmarker} for frequent things .PhD F: Yeah .Professor A: And the otherthings , people can write whatever they want . I mean , it 's to some extent , uh , for his benefit . So , if that {disfmarker} you know , if {disfmarker} if we justkeep it simple then maybe it 's still useful .PhD F: Right .Grad G: Yeah .Professor D: I just realized we skipped the part that we were saying we were gonna do atthe front where we each said who we were .Postdoc H: The roll call .Professor A: Right . I thought you did that on purpose .Professor D: Roll call .Professor A: Butanyway , shall we do the roll call ?Professor D: No , not a No , I just {disfmarker} My mind went elsewhere . So , uh , yeah , I 'm Morgan , and where am I ? I 'mon channel three .Grad G: And I 'm Adam Janin on channel A .Postdoc H: I 'm Jane Edwards , I think on channel B .PhD E: I 'm Dan Ellis .PhD F: Eric on channelnine .PhD B: Liz , on channel one .Professor A: Mari on channel zero .Professor C: Katrin on channel two .Postdoc H: Should we have used pseudo - names ?Should we do it a second time with pseudo No . {vocalsound} No .Professor D: I 'm Rocky Raccoon {vocalsound} on channel {disfmarker}PhD E: Let me , uh ,turn that off .Grad G: And , uh , do you want to do the P D As and the {pause} P ZPhD E: Oh . PZM nearest , nearest , next nearest . Next one .Postdoc H: Nextnearest .PhD E: Furthest .Grad G: Far .PhD E: PDM - right , PZA - right {disfmarker} PDA - right , PDA - left .Postdoc H: OK .PhD E: Thanks .Grad G: Yeah , andeventually once this room gets a little more organized , the Jimlets {comment} will be mounted under the table , and these guys will be permanently mountedsomehow . You know , probably with double - sided tape , but {disfmarker} So . You {disfmarker} So we won't have to go through that .Professor A: Hmm.Postdoc H: I have a question on protocol in these meetings , which is when you say \" Jimlet \" and the person listening won't know what that is , sh shou How{disfmarker} how do we get {disfmarker} Is that important information ? You know , the Jimlet {disfmarker} I mean , the box that contains the{disfmarker}Professor D: Well , I mean , suppose we broaden out and go to a range of meetings besides just these internal ones . There 's gonna be lots ofthings that any group of people who know each other have in column {disfmarker} common {comment} that we will not know .Professor A: Right .Postdoc H:Mm - hmm .Professor A: Right .Postdoc H: OK .Professor A: So the there will be jargon that we he There 'll be transcription errors .Postdoc H: Good .Professor D:Yeah .Postdoc H: OK .Professor D: I mean , we {disfmarker} we were originally gonna do this with VLSI design , and {disfmarker} and {disfmarker} and thereason we didn't go straight to that was because immediately ninety percent of what we heard would be {vocalsound} jargon to {disfmarker} to us . So .Grad G:Well , that was just one of the reasons . But , yeah , definitely .Professor D: Yeah .Postdoc H: OK . Good .Professor D: That {disfmarker} that 's right . There wereothers of course . Yeah .Postdoc H: OK , so we were on the data collection {pause} {comment} and the summary issue .Professor D: Right . We can go back.Professor A: So , uh , u u So , actually there 's kind of three issues . There 's the CrossPad issue . Should we do it and , if so , what 'll we have them do ? Um , dowe have s people write summaries ? Everybody or one person ? And then , do we ask people for how they would query things ? Is that {disfmarker}PhD F: There's {disfmarker} there 're sub - problems in that , in that where {disfmarker} or when do you actually ask them about that ?Professor A: Right .PhD F: I mean ,that was {disfmarker} One thing I was thinking about was is that Dan said earlier that , you know , maybe two weeks later , which is when you would want toquery these things , you might ask them then .Professor A: Right .PhD F: But there 's a problem with that in that if {pause} you 're not {disfmarker} If you don'thave an interactive system , it 's gonna be hard to go beyond sort of the first level of question .Professor A: Right .PhD F: Right . And furth id explore the datafurther .Professor A: Right .PhD F: So .Professor D: There 's {disfmarker} there 's another problemGrad G: And {disfmarker}Professor D: which is , um , wecertainly do want to branch out beyond , uh , uh , recording meetings about Meeting Recorder . And , uh , once we get out beyond our little group , the people 'smotivation factor , uh , reduces enormously . And if we start giving them a bunch of other things to do , how {disfmarker} you know , we {disfmarker} we did nyou know another meeting here for another group and {disfmarker} and , uh , they were fine with it . But if we 'd said , \" OK , now all eight of you have to{disfmarker} {vocalsound} have to come up with , uh , the summar \"Grad G: Well , I asked them to and none of them did .Professor D: t See ? There we go.Grad G: So , I {disfmarker} I asked them to send me ideas for queries after the meetingPostdoc H: Mm - hmm .Professor A: They {disfmarker}Grad G: and noone ever did .PhD E: Mm - hmm .Grad G: I didn't follow up either .Professor A: Yeah .Grad G: So I didn't track them down and say \" please do th do it now \" . But, uh , no one spontaneously provided anything .Professor D: I I 'm worried that if you did {disfmarker} even if you did push them into it , it {disfmarker} it{disfmarker} it might be semi - random ,Professor A: Right .Professor D: uh , as opposed to what you 'd really want to know if you were gonna use this thing.PhD E: Right .Professor A: OK .Grad G: I just don't know how else to generate the queries other than getting an expert to actually listen to the meeting and say \"that 's important , that might be a query \" .Postdoc H: Tsk . Well , there is this other thing which y which you were alluding to earlier , which is , um , there arecertain key words like , you know , \" action item \" and things like that , which could be used in , uh , t to some degree finding the structure .Professor A: Yeah"}

Um his idea was to get sort of the l the lists of mayors of the department , thestudents .

OK . Yeah , yeah , yeah . But {disfmarker} Yeah .Grad C: uh {disfmarker}Undergrad D: So it was really Carol Snow who was confused ,not me and not Jerry .Grad C: Yep , yep , yep . OK . So . So , that is uh {disfmarker}Undergrad D: That 's good . So I should still do that .Grad C: Yep .UndergradD: OK .Grad C: And {disfmarker}Undergrad D: And using the thing that you wrote up .Grad C: Yep .Undergrad D: OK .Grad C: Wonderful . And um we have alittle description of asking peop subjects to contact Fey for you know recruiting them for our thing and um there was some confusion as to the consent form ,which is basically that {disfmarker} that what what you just signedGrad G: Right .Grad C: and since we have one already um {disfmarker}Grad G: Did Jerry talkto you about maybe using our class ? the students in the undergrad class that he 's teaching ?Grad C: Um well he said um we {disfmarker} definitely \" yes \",Grad G: eGrad C: however there is always more people in a {disfmarker} in a facul uh in a department than are just taking his class or anybody else 's class atthe momentGrad G: Yeah .Grad C: and one should sort of reach out and try and get them all .Grad G: OK , but th I guess it 's that um people in his class cover adifferent set so {disfmarker} than the c is the CogSci department that you were talking about ?Undergrad D: I guess . SeeGrad G: uh reaching out to ?UndergradD: that 's what I suggested to him , that people like {disfmarker} like Jerry and George and et cetera just {disfmarker}Grad G: Cuz we have you know peoplefrom other areasGrad C: Yeah .Grad G: advertise in their classes as well .Undergrad D: Yeah or even I could {disfmarker} you know I could do the actual{disfmarker}Grad C: Mm - hmm .Grad G: Cuz I mean I {disfmarker} I know how to contact our students ,Undergrad D: That 's generally the way it 's done .GradG: so if there 's something that you 're sending out you can also s um send me a copy ,Grad C: Yeah .Grad G: me or Bhaskara could {disfmarker} either of uscould post it to uh is it {disfmarker}Undergrad D: A mailing list .Grad G: if it 's a general solicitation that you know is just contact you then we can totally pro postit to the news groupGrad C: Mm - hmm . Yeah .Undergrad D: Yeah .Grad G: so .Grad C: Do it . Yeah .Undergrad D: That 's {disfmarker}Grad G: OK , so you 'llsend it or something so .Grad C: As a matter of fact , if you {disfmarker}Undergrad D: I can send it .Grad C: if {disfmarker}Undergrad D: I 'll send it ,Grad G:You can send it to me .Grad C: Now , iUndergrad D: yeah .Grad G: OK . Don't worry , we {disfmarker} this doesn't concern you anymore , Robert .Grad C: How{disfmarker} however I suggest that if you {disfmarker} if you look at your email carefully you may think {disfmarker} you may find that you already have it.Grad G: It 's fine . Oops . Already ? Really ?Grad C: Maybe .Undergrad D: ProbabGrad G: Oops .Grad C: OK . W we 'll see .Grad G: I don't remember gettinganything .Grad C: Anyhow , um the uh Yeah , not only Also we will talk about Linguistics and of course Computer Science .Grad G: Mm - hmm .Grad C: Um andthen , secondly , we had , you may remember , um the problem with the re - phrasing , that subject always re - phrase sort of the task that uh we gave them,Grad B: Right .Grad C: and so we had a meeting on Friday talking about how to avoid that , and it proved finally fruitful in the sense that we came up with a newscenario for how to get the {disfmarker} the subject m to really have intentions and sort of to act upon those , and um there the idea is now that next actually we{disfmarker} we need to hire one more person to actually do that job because it {disfmarker} it 's getting more complicated . So if you know anyone interested in{disfmarker} in what i 'm about to describe , tell that person to {disfmarker} to write a mail to me or Jerry soon , fast . Um {vocalsound} the idea now is to sortof come up with a high level of sort of abstract tasks \" go shopping \" um \" take in uh a batch of art \" um \" visit {disfmarker} do some sightseeing \" blah - blah -blah - blah - blah , sort of analogous to what Fey has started in {disfmarker} in {disfmarker} in compiling {disfmarker} compiling here and already {disfmarker}she has already gone to the trouble of {disfmarker} of anchoring it with specific um o {comment} um entities and real world places you will find in Heidelberg .And um . So out of these f s these high level categories the subject can pick a couple , such as if {disfmarker} if there is a cop uh a category in emptying your rollof film , the person can then decide \" OK , I wanna do that at this place \" , sort of make up their own itinerary a and {disfmarker} and tasks and the person is notallowed to take sort of this h high level category list with them , but uh the person is able to take notes on a map that we will give him and the map will be atourist 's sort of schematic representation with {disfmarker} with symbols for the objects . And so , the person can maybe make a mental note that \" ah yeah Iwanted to go shopping here \" and \" I wanted to maybe take a picture of that \" and \" maybe um eat here \" and then goes in and solves the task with the system ,IE {comment} Fey , and um and we 're gonna try out that {disfmarker} Any questions ?Grad G: so um y you 'll have those say somewhere what their intentionwas {disfmarker} so you still have the {disfmarker} the nice thing about having data where you know what the actual intention was ?Grad C: Mm - hmm . Yeah.Grad G: But they will um {disfmarker} There 's nothing that says you know \" these are the things you want to do \" so they 'll say \" well these are the things Iwant to do \" and {disfmarker} Right , so they 'll have a little bit more natural interaction ?Grad C: Hopefully .Grad G: OK . Mm - hmm .Grad F: So they 'll begiven this map , which means that they won't have to like ask the system for in for like high level information about where things are ?Grad C: Yeah it 's aschematic tourist map . So it 'll be uh i it 'll still require the {disfmarker} that information and AnGrad G: It w it doesn't have like streets on it that would allowthem to figure out their way {disfmarker}Grad C: N not {disfmarker} not {disfmarker} not really the street network . Nuh .Grad G: OK .Grad E: So you 're justsaying like what part of town the things are in or whatever ?Grad C: Yeah a and um the map is more a means for them to have the buildings and their names andmaybe some ma ma major streets and their namesGrad G: Mm - hmm .Grad C: and we want to maybe ask them , if you have {disfmarker} get it sort of isolatedstreet the {disfmarker} the , whatever , \" River Street \" , and they know that {disfmarker} they have decided that , yes , that 's where they want to do this kindof action um that they have it with them and they can actually read them or sort of have the label for the object because it 's too hard to memorize all these st"}

+{"doc_id":"doc_178","qid":"","text":"Lynne Neagle AM: Okay. Good morning, everyone. Welcome to the Children, Young People and Education Committee. We've received apologies for absence fromJanet Finch-Saunders, and also from Dawn Bowden, and I'd like to welcome Huw Irranca-Davies, who is substituting for Dawn Bowden. Can I ask Members ifthere are any declarations of interest, please? No. Okay. We'll move on, then, to our evidence session for our inquiry on school improvement and raisingstandards. I'd like to welcome Kirsty Williams AM, Minister for Education, and Steve Davies, director of education. Thank you both for attending and for yourdetailed paper in advance of the meeting. We've got a lot of ground to cover, so we'll go straight into questions, if that's okay. If I can just start by asking you: towhat extent is the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development still involved in the Welsh Government's school improvement journey?Kirsty WilliamsAM: First of all, can I thank the committee for their invitation this morning, and their interest in this particular area? As you will be aware, on coming into office,the director and I agreed to ask the OECD to do a rapid review of the state of Welsh education at the beginning of this Assembly term. They did that, and thefeedback from that work informed the publication and content of the national mission. I was very clear in the national mission that I would invite the OECD backto review our progress against that mission, and that has happened in the tail end of last year, and the OECD will publish their latest report on Welsh educationnext month now, in March. So, the expectation is that the report will be published on 23 March, and my intention is to make a statement to the Chamber on 24March. The nature of that review is part of our ongoing development of self-evaluation. So, we talk a lot about self-evaluation in the school system. Actually, thecontinuing relationship with OECD is about self-evaluation of the entirety of the system and Welsh Government. We don't want to accept our own orthodoxy andjust be in a bubble where we are constantly listening to ourselves and those people who might want to agree with us or tell us what we want to hear. So, theOECD is our best attempt of having some external verification of where we are. That's a risk for Ministers and for Government, because we want them to give anhonest evaluation of where we are, but that's a really important tool for me, to ensure that we're constantly testing ourselves. The nature of that review is thatthe OECD were able to talk to whoever they felt it was important to talk to, so that included practitioners on the ground, elements of the middle tier, as well asWelsh Government. And I know, Chair—I hope you'll be pleased to hear this—that the reports of this committee have formed parts of their review, looking at howthe Senedd itself has contributed to and has held the Government to account. So, as I said, we expect our report to be published towards the end of March.LynneNeagle AM: Okay, thank you, Minister. Can I ask about the powers under the School Standards and Organisation (Wales) Act 2013, to ask you to tell us about theuse of those powers either by Welsh Government or by local authorities, and how effective you feel that legislation has been?Kirsty Williams AM: Okay. Well, asyou'll be aware, local authorities have quite extensive powers of intervention in schools if they feel that is necessary. If I'm honest, I think there's a mixed picture,with some local authorities using those powers not on a regular basis, but obviously demonstrating a willingness to use those powers. There are other localauthorities who don't seem to have used them. Since that legislation came into being, there have been a number of reasons, because of course a local authorityhas to give a reason for using those powers of intervention. They usually focus on standards, but sometimes they focus on a breakdown in governancearrangements, perhaps, or a failure or a breakdown in financial management. So, sometimes the budgetary issues trigger an intervention power. And the types ofinterventions that have been used have included, in some cases, appointing additional governors to governing bodies, or suspending a school's delegated budgetso the local authority takes on, then, financial control of that particular school, or sometimes applying to the Welsh Government to entirely replace a governingbody and establish an intervention board. So, if I can give you an example of where that's been used and has been successful, in Flintshire. They applied to WelshGovernment for two interim executive boards, in Sir Richard Gwyn Catholic High School and in Ysgol Trefonnen. They applied to us. Those governing bodies weredissolved. The IEBs were put in place and both of those schools, which had been in special measures, moved quite rapidly, actually, out of special measures.Perhaps the most recent example of this is one that the Chair will know very well in her own constituency of Torfaen, in Cwmbran High School, where Torfaen hasintervened in that case. The Welsh Government has not used those powers to date. My expectation always is that local authorities should be the first port of call,and I would encourage—and we always encourage—local authorities to take a proactive approach to intervention and to use those powers. But it's my belief thatit is they who are best placed initially to do that.Lynne Neagle AM: Thank you, Minister. Can I ask, then, about the national evaluation and improvement resourceand how significant a role that will play in the raising of school standards, and how you feel it's evolved since it was first conceived?Kirsty Williams AM: So, thisbrings us back to the principle of self-evaluation and something, if we're honest, we've not been very good at. If you look at a number of chief inspectors' reportsinto the Welsh education system, self-evaluation has always been identified as something that is missing or underdeveloped in our system to date, hence, then,the work to establish not a new approach, but a more robust approach to self-evaluation. We've done that in conjunction, again, with the OECD, middle tier andpractitioners. It's really important, throughout the entirety of our reform journey that that's done in co-construction, because we want this resource to be usablein schools. So, it's all very well having a conceptual idea and people outside the classroom working on it, but if it's of no practical use to a school leadership team,then we won't see the impact. So, it's—. We're in phase 2 at the moment, where we're doing—. So, the initial resource has been developed by the OECD, middletier and practitioners. We're in the testing phase at the moment and having it evaluated itself, with a view to introducing that resource across the system at thestart of the new academic year, in September 2020. I truly believe that, if we're to make progress in Welsh education, we have to develop the skills within oursystem to have robust self-evaluation. This resource gives us continuity of approach right the way across Wales. So, it's not left to an individual school to come upwith a system; it's right the way across the system. My hope would be that those principles could then be applied to local education authorities, to regional schoolimprovement services and Welsh Government as part of a whole-system approach to self-evaluation. I don't know if there's anything more you want to add,Steve.Steve Davies: Just to add that the other critical partners are Estyn themselves.Kirsty Williams AM: Oh, yes, sorry.Steve Davies: So, they have played acritical role and, as we know, as the Minister has said in the past, she may introduce policy and practice, but if Estyn are part of it then schools, usually, becausethey recognise that it will be part of the inspection process—it gives it greater push and support around it. So, they've been key players within it.Kirsty WilliamsAM: And I think, if I just say as well, that the external perception of what that's about is really important. It's not a test of school readiness for reform, it is agenuine attempt for a school to evaluate their strengths, their weaknesses and where they need to go next. It's not an Estyn checklist. And because of the word'toolkit'—the feedback was that it gave the impression of a checklist, 'Just do this and check list'. So, we're actually going to change the name of that resource.So, it'll be called the national evaluation and improvement resource, rather than the toolkit, because, as I said, the feedback was that 'toolkit' gave the impressionof a checklist exercise, and it's got to be about more than that if it's going to be meaningful. So, it'll be changed to an 'improvement resource'.Lynne Neagle AM:Okay. Before I bring Suzy in, can I just welcome Siân Gwenllian, who is joining us via video-conference in north Wales? Morning, Siân.Sian Gwenllian AM: Goodmorning. Can you hear me?Lynne Neagle AM: We can, yes. We can hear you very nicely, thank you.Sian Gwenllian AM: Okay. Thank you.Lynne Neagle AM: Suzy,you've got a supplementary.Suzy Davies AM: Yes. Only a very quick one. It's about the development of the—Kirsty Williams AM: The resource.Suzy Davies AM:Yes, the resource, thank you—about whether there were any conflicting ideas in the process of development that made it quite difficult to zone in on somethingthat school leadership teams, in particular, could rely on. Were there differences of opinion on what this should look like?Kirsty Williams AM: Not that I'm aware offrom the practitioners that I've spoken to who have been part of that. So, for instance, Suzy, you will know the very small school of Gladestry. The head ofGladestry has been involved in this process, and she said that she'd really enjoyed the process of working alongside Estyn and the OECD as a school leader to beable to shape it. But I'm not aware that there's been conflict in that process.Suzy Davies AM: I'm not suggesting that there has been; I'm just interested as tohow it had worked, that's all.Steve Davies: Chair, I think, inevitably, when you bring stakeholders together, they're not going to be in total agreement as to howit's going to work, and I think initially one of the challenges was having Estyn there as part of the facilitation group. There are always some concerns that,actually, it's coming from a to inspect, oral, judgmental tick box. So, we had some early day challenges where we had to convince—and, ultimately, Estynconvinced them—that they were there to help and support as opposed to to inspect, and that the model that was developed, as the Minister said, was not going tobe a tick box, 'You are good at this part of self-evaluation', it was to build the skillsets up.Suzy Davies AM: Okay. So, it's got their full confidence.Kirsty WilliamsAM: Yes, and I think again, also, what—. You know, four years into the job, what I've reflected on as well is there is this sometimes a feeling out there that theMinister says all the right stuff, but you're not actually going to do it, so, when you talk about a new approach to doing things, you're not actually serious about it.So, trying to build that confidence that we are serious about developing a new system around self-improvement, which is different fromaccountability—sometimes, the practitioners are like, 'Oh, yes, we've heard it all before but it never actually happens.' And I think that's been a part of theconstant—not pressure, but the responsibility on Welsh Government is in following through. So, we said that we were going to do this in the national mission, and"}

Welcome to the 23rd meeting of the House of Commons SpecialCommittee on the COVID-19 Pandemic.  A reminder to all members that in order to avoid issues with sound, members participating in person should not also beconnected to the video conference. For those of you who are joining via video conference, I will remind you that when speaking you should be on the samechannel as the language you are speaking, and please use your headsets. As usual, please direct your remarks through the chair. As I understand, there are noministerial announcements today.  We will now proceed to presenting petitions. I remind members that any petition presented during a meeting of this specialcommittee must have already been certified by the clerk of petitions. For members participating in person, I ask that they please come and drop their signedcertificates off at the table once the petition is presented. I would ask members to be very brief and concise, and to summarize the exact content of the petition.We will continue. The first person presenting a petition today is Ms. May.Ms. Elizabeth May (SaanichGulf Islands, GP): Thank you, Mr. Chair. I present twopetitions this morning. The residents of SaanichGulf Islands are calling on the government to simplify the process for protection of marine protected areas. It's amulti-layered communication process. The marine protected area first proposed in the 1970s for the southern Strait of Georgia, now called the Salish Sea, hasbeen awaiting designation for so long that it was originally endorsed by Jacques Cousteau. That gives us a sense for why petitioners are calling for a simplifiedand more rapid process. The second petition is from petitioners who are very concerned about our obligations under the United Nations Declaration on the Rightsof Indigenous Peoples and our commitments under the Truth and Reconciliation Commission calls to action. They specifically reference the RCMP violation ofUNDRIP in its actions on Wet'suwet'en territory and ask the government to commit to actually living the principles embodied in UNDRIP.The Chair: We will now goto Mr. Hardie.Mr. Ken Hardie (FleetwoodPort Kells, Lib.): Thank you, Mr. Chair. I am presenting a petition on behalf of the one in a million Canadians who suffersevere and adverse effects from vaccinations. GuillainBarre syndrome is very debilitating, and this petition seeks the setting up of a no-fault accident orcompensation system to help offset the loss of work, the loss of wages and the loss of quality of life that many of these people suffer. I'm pleased to present thispetition pursuant to Standing Order 36.The Chair: Mr.Trudel, you have the floor.Mr. Denis Trudel (LongueuilSaint-Hubert, BQ): Mr.Chair, culture is the soul of apeople. Over the past 20years or so, culture, especially music, has never been as accessible as it is now. Paradoxically, creators' incomes have never been so low.The advent of digital technology has completely overturned the system for distributing the wealth generated by creators for the benefit of various Webstakeholders, many of whom are billionaires. This petition addresses these problems and proposes realistic solutions. The first is to set a minimum royalty modelfor streaming platforms for artists. The second is to update the existing private copying system. The third is for Internet and cell phone providers who sell theirservices as direct access to culture to share their profits with artists. The fourth is that the GAFAMs have to pay taxes on their services. Six thousand people havealready signed the first version of this petition, launched last month by musician JordanOfficer and supported by singer BarbaraSecours. As an artist, I am proudto present this petition today because the issues it raises are fundamental to the survival of Quebec culture.The Chair: We'll now continue with Mr. Genuis.Mr.Garnett Genuis (Sherwood ParkFort Saskatchewan, CPC): Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. I have four petitions to present today. I will be as brief as yousuggested, although I will observe that if some members are going on longer during petitions than they normally do, it might be because the government hastaken away so many of the tools that opposition members normally have for raising important issues in the House. The first petition deals with the issue ofeuthanasia and long-term care. The petitioners are concerned that instead of focusing on improving medically assisted life, something that we know is a majorissue in light of recent revelations, the government has put so much time and legislative energy into efforts to continually further expand euthanasia in Canadaand remove vital safeguards. The second petition speaks to the ongoing conversations happening in Canada around systemic discrimination and systemic racism.I think we do need to reflect on systemic discrimination. This petition deals specifically with Bill 21 in Quebec and raises concerns. The reality of the way that billapplies is that people from certain backgrounds who wish to practise their faith are not able to fully participate in Canadian society if they are employed in thepublic service. This petition asks the government to provide a response on that issue, something it hasn't done in response to past petitions on this. The thirdpetition deals with the issue of firearms. The petitioners want to see the government take a strong response in dealing with illegal guns and gun smuggling. Thepetition notes that the vast majority of firearms-related crimes in Canada involves illegal guns. At the same time, the petitioners are concerned that thegovernment has the wrong focusthat is, harassing law-abiding firearms ownerswithout putting in place substantial measures to deal with illegal guns. Thepetitioners want to see the reversal of the order in council from May 1 and strong measures to deal with illegal firearms. The fourth and final petition deals withBill S-204, a bill that would make it a criminal offence for a Canadian to go abroad and receive an organ from a person who has not consented to giving thatorgan. It would also create a mechanism by which someone could be deemed inadmissible to Canada if they were involved in organ harvesting and trafficking.The petitioners are supportive of Bill S-204 and of similar bills in previous parliaments and would like to see us pass that bill as soon as possible.The Chair:Presenting petitions, Mr. Lamoureux.Mr. Kevin Lamoureux (Winnipeg North, Lib.): Thank you, Mr. Chair. It is with pleasure that I table another petition by theresidents of Winnipeg North. These residents have signed a petition asking the Government of Canada, and in fact all members of Parliament, to put a highpriority on assisting our poorest seniors. The increases to the GIS by $200, and $300 to the OAS, have been well received. They just want to highlight howimportant it is to support our seniors, in particular the poorest of our seniors.The Chair: For members present in the Chamber, a reminder that they are asked tobring their petitions to the table. We'll now proceed to statements by members. We'll go to Ms. Atwin for the first one.Mrs. Jenica Atwin (Fredericton, GP): Thankyou, Mr. Chair. June 21 is National Indigenous Peoples Day, a day of acknowledgement and a day of celebration of the beautiful diversity of indigenous peoplesacross Turtle Island. I wish to recognize the leadership of Chief Shelley Sabattis of the Welamukotuk First Nation in Oromocto, New Brunswick. Each year she andher council, volunteers and staff go above and beyond to show appreciation for their members and to demonstrate pride and culture while promoting well-being.We gather in an event where all are welcome to take part, from traditional hand drum-making with elders to moose meat and tacos. This year we will celebrate abit differently, but we will still stay connected, virtually and in spirit, to the vast network of indigenous peoples and allies. We need each other now more thanever. May we come together in song and stories and in solidarity. We will remember those who are not among us. I hope all of Canada will join us in observingNational Indigenous Peoples Day.  Mawiyapasuwok: let us come together. Nit liech.The Chair: We'll now go to Mr. Beech.Mr. Terry Beech (BurnabyNorthSeymour, Lib.): Mr. Chair, COVID-19 is an unprecedented challenge for all communities across Canada, but as we do our part to flatten the curve, I oftenthink about those who suit up every morning to serve on the front lines of our health care system. My mother is a home care worker and my sister is a nurse.Even before the crisis, they would often share the hardships they faced on a day-to-day basis. It's a tough job at the best of times. In a pandemic, these jobs arelife-threatening. I think we can all agree that these workers deserve more than our good wishes. They deserve a raise. That is why we have worked with theprovinces to implement pandemic pay. In British Columbia more than 250,000 front-line workers are eligible for this program. That works out to a pay increase ofabout $4 an hour. It's a small show of our appreciation for their difficult and priceless contribution to our country. Share this message and say thanks to ourfront-line workers, participate in the 7 p.m. cheer, and order a pizza for your local nurses. It's the least we can do.The Chair: We'll now go on to Mr. Shipley.Mr.Doug Shipley (BarrieSpringwaterOro-Medonte, CPC): Thank you, Mr. Chair. We've been living in difficult times. Slowly, we are getting back to some resemblanceof normalcy, although unfortunately not soon enough for some of our great summer festivals. It will not be normal in BarrieSpringwaterOro-Medonte this summerwithout the iconic Boots and Hearts weekend music festival, Kempenfest, Oro World's Fair, the Elmvale Fall Fair, or the Midhurst Autumnfest. Canada Daycelebrations have been cancelled, but we can still celebrate the great nation we call home. Because of the lack of Canada Day celebrations, I've created HappyCanada Day lawn signs that are available through my constituency office, free to all residents of BarrieSpringwaterOro-Medonte. I'm also hosting a drive-throughparty on Canada Day at the Royal Canadian Legion on St. Vincent Street in Barrie. All are welcome to attend. There will be cupcakes for all. Please drop by thelegion between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., and we can celebrate Canada Day safely together. Thank you and have a great summer.The Chair: Now we'll go on to Ms.Young.Ms. Kate Young (London West, Lib.): Thank you, Mr. Chair. Among the countless ordinary Canadians who have stepped up to do extraordinary work duringCOVID-19, I wish to draw attention to our teachers. Teachers have always had a special place in my heart. My father was a teacher, and my daughter-in-law,Kelly Webb, is one now. I'm certain that my colleagues can all easily remember a teacher in their past who played an important role in helping them achieve theirpotential. I remember my grade 12 English teacher, Vince Weaver, at Westminster Secondary School in London. He made me realize that I could do so muchmore than I believed. Across the country, as schools closed, teachers did not stop their work. Some took their classes online. Others found innovative ways tocontinue engaging with their students. This is not the school year anyone imagined, and what the next one will look like is unclear, but our teachers in London"}

You're the only one . {vocalsound}Project Manager: and I'll have a look if {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Oh .Marketing: Alright .ProjectManager: Well I think we should show them before your presentations , because it's not really uh smart uh to uh to include some things uh we can't , because ofthe new requirements . Well um then we can make some decisions about our remote control functions .Marketing: 'Kay .Project Manager: We have to deb wehave to decide it in this meeting what our function will be . And then uh we can discuss uh some more closely . Uh {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: We haveforty minutes for this uh discussion ?Project Manager: Uh yeah , I think so . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Alright .Project Manager: Well uh {gap} the closinguh we'll not uh look at it yet .User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: Alright .Project Manager: Um {vocalsound} now I'll look at {gap} show {gap} this board .Um {disfmarker} Well uh notes , first meeting . Now . I gave a disc a a presentation . Uh we familiarised ourself with the boards and then we discussed some firstideas . So we said that uh we have to merge the strong points from our uh competitors , and uh look at their uh remote controls .Marketing: Right .ProjectManager: We should make it uh compatible with our new D_V_D_ and other releases we have , our technical releases .Industrial Designer: Huh ?ProjectManager: Uh not too many one buttons . One recognisable button in the middle , where you do the most important functions with . And um well they can havetwo functions , because uh you have a D_V_D_ and a television .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Yeah .Project Manager: Um the design has to fit the hand , beoriginal , but also be familiar . {vocalsound} It's uh one of our ideas .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager:{vocalsound} Yeah well that wa It's just thirty minutes ago ,User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: so it's not quite uh {disfmarker} {vocalsound} Butwell I have to do it .Industrial Designer: Mm-hmm , now it's right .Marketing: {vocalsound} Yeah .Project Manager: The materials uh well should be hard plasticwith rubber from {gap} , and uh well the labelling of the buttons should be indestructible . It should be uh recognisable at all times .User Interface:{vocalsound}Industrial Designer: It's meant to be easily wiped out , yeah . {vocalsound}Project Manager: Yes .User Interface: Mm .Marketing: Okay .ProjectManager: Well fronts were to be {gap} just like mobile telephones . And uh the technical aspects um {disfmarker} And also labelling of the buttons , thefunctions should be universal standards . Well that's just uh some ideas from the first meeting . It's quite logical al all of it .Industrial Designer: Mm-hmm .ProjectManager: Um now the new project requirements , I'll just show them . I got this mail from uh our bosses . Well , teletext goes out . We will not use teletext .UserInterface: Oh .Marketing: Okay .Project Manager: Maybe a new sort of thing , but n but not teletext .Industrial Designer: I I disagree , but uh it's not uh t it's notmy place to disagree I guess .Project Manager: Well {disfmarker} the second is a bit sh pity because we just said we wanted to d include the D_V_D_UserInterface: Oh .Project Manager: and they don't want it , because of our time we have for this project .Marketing: Alright .Industrial Designer: Oh , alright .UserInterface: Oh , that's a shame .Project Manager: So that's a shame , because uh especially for the third requirement we want to reach people under the thirtyyears . Because uh we don't have those customers a lot at th at this point . Um well it's a bit pity because it's just those people want to have uh one remotecontrol for all those technical devices they can uh reach it .Marketing: Yeah . But let's forget about it . It's just time-consuming ,Project Manager: Yeah.Marketing: so we uh have to go on .User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Well and uh our corporate image should stay rec recognisable in our products. So uh we have to uh use uh maybe a slogan , maybe a colour , and um {disfmarker} Yeah well uh on our remote controls the design has to be uh , well as wealready said a actually , uh familiar . Uh not only just uh the shape but also our company .Marketing: Yes .Industrial Designer: Yeah , we are a {vocalsound} realfashionable company . I read uh I read it on the {disfmarker}Project Manager: Yeah . {vocalsound} Yeah .User Interface: Yeah . {vocalsound}IndustrialDesigner: I didn't know what company we were ,Marketing: Mm .Industrial Designer: but we we design uh especially trendy uh trendy trendy stuff .Marketing:{vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound} Yeah . Okay .Industrial Designer: So it has to be uh a modern design . That's important to know , uh when youdesign a thing of course .Project Manager: Yes . I I uh noted uh our uh slogan that we have , our company . It's uh we mm put the fashion in electronics.Industrial Designer: Yeah .Project Manager: So maybe that's a slogan we can put uh somewhere on our remote control or something .Marketing: Right .UserInterface: Yeah .Project Manager: Alright then um we're going to uh have three presentations .Marketing: Yeah .Project Manager: You want to start ?IndustrialDesigner: {vocalsound}Marketing: Yeah . {vocalsound} I think I have to start .Project Manager: {vocalsound} Oh you have to start ? I didn't see anything aboutuh who had to start .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} The order ? No . {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound} Oh no , no problem .Project Manager: Well s thenstart .User Interface: Mm .Marketing: I I just have to uh to think which file's mine ,User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: 'cause I was uh bit in a hurry .ProjectManager: Okay . Well uh {disfmarker}Marketing: I think it's this one . But I'm not sure . {gap}Project Manager: {gap} You already uh opened uh PowerPoint.Marketing: Hmm ? Yeah . S Right .User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: Yes . This is it .Project Manager: Yeah .Marketing: Well , I'm going to tell yousomething about functional requirements .Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Marketing: Um to start with these points . Uh next sheet ? Um at first I tell you somethingabout what people dislike about the current uh controls , because it's uh a smart thing to exclude those things . Uh , furthermore it's very important what they dolike and what they do use . {vocalsound} Um then I tell something about um the most important issues . So we have to focus on those three thing three things .And in the end I'll um show you our target {vocalsound} audience or our target product users , customers . Well , {vocalsound} um the first findings are thatpeople um think most controls are very kind of ug ugly .Project Manager: {vocalsound}Marketing: That's seventy five per cent of the current users . They don'tlike it , so we might think about fronts in that section . Um {disfmarker} They also say , that's about uh I thought it was fifty per cent , uh that more money willbe spent on uh better looking controls . So it's very important that you design a a nice looking control . {vocalsound} Um the current user uses his machine justabout well all of the time for a few functions . Uh , almost every user uses it d the the control for just ten per cent of its capacity . So it's really important to makethe the buttons for the common uh tasks kind of big or kind of uh flashy . Furthermore , it's uh {vocalsound} seventy five per cent of the users uh zaps a lot .Thus it might be uh might be smart to make a a big uh zapping button or something in the middle , so you can reach it with your thumb .Industrial Designer:{vocalsound} You can zap away . Yeah . {vocalsound}Marketing: Yeah , yeah right .Project Manager: Yeah .Marketing: Right . A lot of losers um users lose theircontrols in their {vocalsound} in their living room .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound}Marketing: So it might be sensible to makesome kind of a button on your television , that's your um your control beeps or something , that you can find this very easily .Project Manager: {vocalsound} Well{disfmarker} {vocalsound}User Interface: Yeah .Marketing: I dunno , maybe that's an idea .Industrial Designer: Oh .Marketing: 'Cause it's uh a big {disfmarker}I think fifty per cent of the users loses his its control , within the same room .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Oh ?Project Manager: It should actually uh{disfmarker} It should actually be loose from the television ,User Interface: {vocalsound} Yeah .Project Manager: because it can also be used for othertelevisions . So if you deliver a small uh click-on device that you can put on your television , that bleeps to your remote control , everyone can use it .Marketing:Yeah but what if you lose your click-on device ?Project Manager: No you can click it on your television .Marketing: Yeah but if someone d somebody else uses it inano other room or something ?Project Manager: {vocalsound} Yeah in another room , yeah .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Well yes.Marketing: Nee but it it specifically says it's uh the the control is lost in the same room .User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Yeah .Industrial Designer:Mm-hmm .Marketing: So {disfmarker} Well a beeping device would be {disfmarker}Project Manager: Well we'll have a look at it , yeah .Marketing: Uhfurthermore the learning time is a problem . Uh thirty four thirty four per cent um thinks it's it's too uh too difficult to learn . So the the learning curve should bevery short uh for the dumbest people should be able to use it .User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: I think our uh user uh expert should also considermanual a manual for the remote , of course . Uh {disfmarker}Marketing: Yeah but people don't read manuals .Industrial Designer: I didn't read it ?UserInterface: No .Industrial Designer: Oh , alright .Marketing: No .Industrial Designer: {gap} users to uh add one ? Do you think ?User Interface: I don't think{disfmarker}Marketing: I think you should put more time in the in the design of uh pick up and use , than a manual .User Interface: Yeah . Yes you should"}

Maybe you can take the minutes once in a while .Marketing: Sure .Project Manager: I dunno it's not a lot of work , but just uh if you hear something uh youcan write down , just write it down . Uh as you can see uh it's the opening , aquaintance tool training . Aquaintance is a point we've done a bit . Um have you allseen the corporate website already ?

No , it doesn't workhere .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Okay no problem . But um on the corporate information side there's a thuh {disfmarker} there was Real Remote instead of Real Reaction .Marketing: Oh yeah .Project Manager: Real Remote is not really the company we're{disfmarker} we are , but it's just a little {gap} fault .User Interface: Okay . Yeah .Project Manager: Um okay , what are we going to do ? {vocalsound} Uh ourproject aim is as you can see a new remote control . It has to be original , trendy , and user friendly . So these are uh the points why uh we also hired you .{vocalsound} We've got the Marketing Expert for uh the trendy and user friendly look .Marketing: Okay .Project Manager: And Industrial Designer uh there's alsouser friendly and a bit original . {vocalsound} And we've got our User Interface Designer .User Interface: Yep .Project Manager: He's also uh {disfmarker} That'sabout the new remote control . Uh project method um is uh there are three phases we are going through . First is functional des uh design , individual work ,meetings . After the functional design , then the conceptual design and the detailed design . {vocalsound} I had some role indications on here . But I think youknow it already by yourself . The Industrial Designer is going to work on the working design , uh components design and a bit of the look and feel design . Uh theUser Interface Designer is going to do the technical function design , user interface concept and user interface design . {vocalsound} And the marketing expert isdoing a little bit of user requirement specification , trend watching and project {disfmarker} uh product ev evaluation . So that's a bit what you're going to do .But that will be all worked out in uh other meetings .Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Then we've got our first tool training . {vocalsound} We are goingto work with a lot of high-tech tools here , so it's ab it's handy if we have a little bit of training first . As you can see we've got the smart boards here and here inthe white board . Um in the white board here there's a little tool bar on this side . Here are some functions . You can save . N uh these functions we don't haveanything to do with , only undo , you can undo a little uh piece of drawing . A blank new document for each person . Uh select a pen , eraser . Capture we don'thave to do anything with . Uh then we've got our pen . This pen . It's really funny because you can draw with it on this page um in the {disfmarker} think it isform of .Marketing: 'Kay .Project Manager: You can also select the current colour and the line width . But then first you have to select the pen function .UserInterface: Hmm .Project Manager: But we're going to work with it in a minute . So okay . Uh that's very simple and it's easy to uh draw your findings anddrawings on there . {vocalsound} Uh then a short thing about documents . We've got our shared folder , project {gap} project {disfmarker} what was it ? Projectdocuments {gap} I think . But all you will found that already because there are a lot of documents in it already , so it will be okay . And these are available on thesmart boards as well , so if you have a document you wanna show , just open it from the folder .User Interface: Okay . Yeah .Project Manager: Here is a simpletool bar . It's what I just said , it's save , print , move back or forward one page . You can switch between the different drawings . And then we're going to try outthe white board .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound} So as you can see we g all {vocalsound} going to draw a animal .{vocalsound} Just to uh uh just to get a bit familiar with it .User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound} {vocalsound} Mouse wasn't runningaway . {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: That was interesting .Project Manager: Is everybody {disfmarker} isanybody playing with the mouse ? No .Marketing: {vocalsound} Innocent .Project Manager: Okay . {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager:We're going to uh draw animal . {vocalsound} And uh just sum up a few of its favourite characteristics .Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Um the onlything we have to uh look after is that we use different colours , and different line width .Marketing: {vocalsound} {vocalsound}Project Manager: Uh there's{disfmarker} I can start from now . I will . You can use this pen by holding it like a like a little child . Because if you hold it like this , the sensors will get blockedand then the drawing won't get good .User Interface: Okay .Marketing: 'Kay .Project Manager: Another thing is you have to be uh a bit slow . 'Cause if you'regoing to draw like really fast then um the pen won't hold up . So we choose form of current colour uh I think grey is appropriate . Then the line width . I thinkseven will be nice . Now you'll see my drawing capabilities .User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: These are not very much , but uh {disfmarker} Uh ,see you have to do it real slow . {vocalsound} Oh {gap}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing:{vocalsound}User Interface: Sure .Project Manager: Ah I was trying to draw a dolphin ,User Interface: {vocalsound} {vocalsound}Project Manager: but I thinkhis nose has to be a little bit {disfmarker}Marketing: {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: But it's close .Marketing: I'm thinking about aswordfish .Project Manager: So what {disfmarker} yeah it's {disfmarker} this is bit of the swordfish .User Interface: Yeah . Yeah .Marketing: {vocalsound}ProjectManager: Yeah , he hasn't got an eye .User Interface: {gap} {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Mm-hmm .Project Manager: Woah . {vocalsound}Now we've got another function . We've got the eraser .Marketing: {vocalsound} {vocalsound} .Project Manager: {vocalsound} And then you can undo thiseasily .Marketing: Meat .Project Manager: Ah it's okay .User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: And I've got to write down a few of its characteristics . Uhis {disfmarker} They've got no text tool , no . Uh . {vocalsound} Okay .User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: This is typically aundo action , I think . {vocalsound}Marketing: Yeah . {vocalsound}Project Manager: Pen . Maybe you have to hold it a bit upside-down . I think that's it becauseif you wan ar are going to do it like this then it will be a stripe . But I don't know , I'm just trying . {vocalsound} {vocalsound} This is not my work ,IndustrialDesigner: {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: okay .Marketing: Hmm .Project Manager: Maybe you have to use {disfmarker} Oh .Marketing:{vocalsound}Project Manager: Uh . I think it's a {disfmarker} it wants to draw a {disfmarker} another animal ? I don't know . It lives for the fun . So{disfmarker} It's my characteristic uh characteristic about the dolphin . It lives for the fun . So now I'm gonna hand over the pen on the new blank sheet to you.User Interface: Okay .Marketing: Okay . {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Go ahead .Marketing: Thank you . Okay . Gonna use adifferent line width . And I'm gonna draw in black . There . 'Kay , I'm not much of an artist , but here we go .Project Manager: Maybe it's easier to draw thesmaller line width , I think . Because this is going a lot better than uh I did .User Interface: Hmm .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface: A sheep.Marketing: Mm .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound} Okay .User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound}Marketing: This ismy um {disfmarker} Hmm . Sheep .Project Manager: It's nice . {vocalsound}Marketing: With of courseProject Manager: {vocalsound} Uh .Marketing: little bluedot they always get sprayed on their butts .Project Manager: {vocalsound} It's a real dead sheep ,User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: There .ProjectManager: yeah . {vocalsound} For recognition ,Marketing: Yeah . {vocalsound}Project Manager: yeah , I see . {vocalsound} Um maybe you can also write yourname somewhere .Marketing: 'Kay .Project Manager: On just a {disfmarker}Marketing: They are {disfmarker}Project Manager: {vocalsound}Marketing: Comeon . You have to go really slow when you're writing .Project Manager: Yeah .Marketing: They're brilliant animal animals .User Interface: {vocalsound}IndustrialDesigner: {vocalsound} {vocalsound}Marketing: And that's just a little me thingy . So . Guess I'll pass the pen to our User Interface Designer .Project Manager:Nice .User Interface: Okay . Um I'm just gonna draw its uh head , but mm {disfmarker} Let's see . Mm . Uh . {gap} Okay . {vocalsound}Project Manager:{vocalsound} Sweet . {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound} Yeah .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: Interesting .User Interface: You know what"}

Then we'll have to go through financeevaluation of the of the cost of the thing and um hopefully uh we should fit the target o tw of twelve point five uh uh Euro . {vocalsound} Okay . So let's go . Uh ifI go quickly through the minutes of the last meeting . {vocalsound} So we went through th uh w we took this following decisions . No L_C_D_ , no speechrecognition technology , okay , we went through a b to a banana look and feel for the remote control . We went through the use of wheels and but buttons .{vocalsound} And also the use of a basis station for battery ch charging and uh also to um call the to call the mot mote remote control when it is lost . Okay . Um. Good . So guys let {gap} this uh wonderful thing .Industrial Designer: Okay so we can go to the slides .Project Manager: {vocalsound} Oh yeah . Sorry . Um.Industrial Designer: Yeah . Number three . Oh number two sorry .Project Manager: Which is {gap} {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: So final design . Finaldesign . Okay so Michael you can go ahead .User Interface: Yeah so uh following our decision to uh make a yellow {disfmarker} well to make a bananaProjectManager: Yeah can you show it to the the camera maybe .User Interface: remote {disfmarker} okay so we actually have a {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Youcan pull it out first , maybe .User Interface: We've {disfmarker} well first first of all we made a an attractive {vocalsound} base station uh with a banana leaf uhlook and feel um and uhProject Manager: Mm-hmm . {vocalsound}User Interface: bana sit {disfmarker} the banana sits in there k you know nicely weighted sothat it's not gonna tip over and um this is the remote itself , it's kind of it's it's ergonomic , it fits in the hand uh rather well . We've got the two uh {vocalsound}uh scroll wheels here which you know one on the the left for the uh volume and the one on the right for for the channel and uh underneath {vocalsound} we havethe uh the turbo button which is in like a nice uh trigger position for you know for pressing quite naturally .Project Manager: What's the use uh of the t turbobutton already ?User Interface: This is when you when you uh are scrolling the uh {disfmarker} through the channels you can tell it to to skip th past channelsthat you {disfmarker} quickly rather thProject Manager: Ah yeah yeah an then you stop when you stop it stops .User Interface: Yeah . Well when you stopscrolling the wheel it stops . But normally with uh {disfmarker} it will just uh s stay on each station briefly so you can see the the picture .Industrial Designer: Uh{disfmarker}Project Manager: Uh-huh .Industrial Designer: And we we do have one more functionality . If you take the banana as such and uh you press theturbo button , so it switch ons the switch ons the T_V_ .User Interface: The T_V_ yeah .Project Manager: Which one ?User Interface: The s the turbo button.Industrial Designer: The turbo button .Project Manager: Okay .User Interface: So rather than having uh an extra button for um for the on off switch you just usethe turbo button .Industrial Designer: Additional button .Marketing: What this button for ?User Interface: This is a teletext button . So once you press that thenyou get teletextMarketing: Okay .User Interface: and you can use the the channel selector scroll wheel as uh {disfmarker}Project Manager: To navigate itthrough th through teletext .User Interface: To navigate yeah .Marketing: But if you want to go to page seven hundred ?Industrial Designer: That's right , that'sright .User Interface: Yeah .Project Manager: {gap} with the wheel it's easy .Marketing: How manUser Interface: Well then you can you you have like a little uhnumber selection thing , you press the {gap} the the teletext button uh to move between uh the fields and then you can just scroll the number back and forth soyou have s you go {disfmarker} you scroll to seven and then zero zero and then you can uh {disfmarker}Marketing: I don't understand it . Can you repeat it ?{vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound} Well you can you can press press the teletext buttonIndustrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface: and then youthen you can you can fIndustrial Designer: So then then both the scroll buttons they are for teletext browsing .Marketing: Yeah .Industrial Designer: And you canteleMarketing: Ah okay okay . Okay . Okay okay .Industrial Designer: yeah ,User Interface: Mm uh {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: once you press the teletextbutton then the scroll buttons they are more for teletext , they are no more for channel or vol volume .Marketing: Okay . I see . I see . Okay . Okay .IndustrialDesigner: Yeah .User Interface: {vocalsound} And this is the uh the infrared uh port .Industrial Designer: That's right .User Interface: Also the top of the banana.Project Manager: Excellent .User Interface: So . And then we haveIndustrial Designer: Yeah .User Interface: in the uh in the base station we have the the buttonat the front for uh for calling the uh the banana .Project Manager: Calling . Excellent .Industrial Designer: Yeah .Project Manager: And the the leaves plays theroles of of antennas ?User Interface: Actually they do .Project Manager: Oh .User Interface: That's that's yeah that's uh that's form and function in the one in theone uh object .Industrial Designer: Yeah . So it always means , whatever the rays goes by they they get reflected and then you are having a better coverage.User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: It's like antennas .User Interface: Yeah . So .Marketing: {gap}User Interface: But yeah that's um that's justlike {disfmarker} that's an attractive um base station .Project Manager: Great . {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound} So .Project Manager: So , what else?User Interface: Okay .Industrial Designer: And for the power source we are having solar cells and rechargeable batteries and this and uh the basis station isgoing to have the input from the mm power line for for charging the batteries .Marketing: {vocalsound} Is it really weight ? Is it light or {disfmarker}IndustrialDesigner: It is very light .Project Manager: Yeah , they're light .User Interface: It's it's uh it's about the weight of a banana .Marketing: Okay .Project Manager:{vocalsound}Marketing: Okay .User Interface: You know , to give you the correct look and feel .Project Manager: {gap}Industrial Designer: Yeah .Marketing:OkIndustrial Designer: And we have put these different colours so that people don't mistake them mistake it as a banana .User Interface: {vocalsound}IndustrialDesigner: Otherwise it's you know a child comes and so {disfmarker}Marketing: Okay . Yeah yeah yeah , I see . I under I understand .User Interface: I think achild would try to eat it anyway , so maybe we shouldIndustrial Designer: Yeah .User Interface: consider that . {gap} maybe health and safety aspects .ProjectManager: Ah yeah .Industrial Designer: Mm-hmm .User Interface: {gap}Industrial Designer: Oh we didn't think of that yet . Yeah .User Interface: Yeah .ProjectManager: So for the power source , apparently you still {disfmarker} you you want to use both solar cells and batteries .Industrial Designer: Oh yeah that's right.Project Manager: Uh you mean {disfmarker} okay . So {disfmarker}User Interface: I don't really know if the solar cells are actually necessary any more if youhave a recharging base station .Project Manager: Yeah , where are going to {disfmarker} where are you are you going to place them ?Industrial Designer:Mm-hmm mm-hmm . It'll It'll be always at top somewhere at there .User Interface: If I was gonna place them I'd put them on the on the top here since that'slike uh the black bitProject Manager: You have enough surface ? You {gap} {disfmarker}User Interface: but yeah I don't I really don't think it's necessary to havethe solar cells anymore .Industrial Designer: Yeah because now we are having rechargeable batteriesProject Manager: Okay .User Interface: Mm .IndustrialDesigner: so that that is {gap} .Project Manager: What will be the autonomy ? Roughly ?User Interface: The what sorry ?Project Manager: The autonomy .Autonomy .User Interface: What do you mean ?Project Manager: Uh I mean how long does i how how how long can it be held off a station ?Marketing: How longthe {disfmarker} how long the bit the batteries long .User Interface: Ah . Ah . A long time .Project Manager: Yeah . A long {disfmarker} {vocalsound}UserInterface: {vocalsound} No no no ,Industrial Designer: Eight to ten eight to ten hours .Marketing: {vocalsound}User Interface: it can {disfmarker} it should beweeks .Industrial Designer: N most {disfmarker} no most of the time it's not being used .Project Manager: Yeah , so it's {disfmarker}User Interface: Yeah but ypeople don't like to put it back in the base station all the time people leave wanna leave it on the couch so {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: So when when youare making it on {disfmarker}Project Manager: It's used only when you {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Mm . Mm-hmm . No eight or eight or ten hours ofworking .User Interface: Ah , okay .Industrial Designer: If you are just leaving like that it'll be much longer .User Interface: Okay .Project Manager: Yeah . Fweeks .User Interface: Yeah .Industrial Designer: Yeah . That's right .Project Manager: Right . Next slide ?Industrial Designer: Yeah . And we are having thespeakers regular chip for control . Pricing is {disfmarker} was a factor so that's why we have gone for a regular chip only not the advanced chip . And uh that's it.Project Manager: Okay . {gap} Okay . Those really sounds very good .Industrial Designer: That's right .Project Manager: {vocalsound} Nothing else to add ?UserInterface: It seems to be falling over .Marketing: I l yeah .Project Manager: Yeah .Marketing: I like I like it . Maybe the the thing that convince me the less is the{vocalsound} the multifunctional buttons . Looks a bit {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: You want to have more functional buttons ?Marketing: Looks a bitpuzzled uh I dunno how to say {vocalsound} that .Industrial Designer: You are not convinced .Marketing: You {disfmarker} the the b the buttons change h htheir function depending if y it's teletext or not {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Not not many , we we want to keep it simple . So that this button fo is forteletext which is usually also the case , that usually there is a teletext button and once you press that , the channel buttons , they baco become the scrollingbuttons .Marketing: And the volume button will will become {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: It's up to you , means .Project Manager: Well in fact b both will be{disfmarker} could be useful , navigating through teletext .Industrial Designer: Now that {disfmarker} Means let's say this this can move the the larger digits andthis can move the smaller digits .User Interface: Or can move between positions in the in the number .Industrial Designer: That's right .Project Manager: Yeah"}

So , here we are .Grad E: Once again .Professor F: Once again , right , together . Um , so we haven't had a meeting for awhile , and {disfmarker} and probably won't have one next week , I think a number of people are gone . Um , so Robert , why don't you bring us up to date onwhere we are with EDU ?Grad B: Um , uh in a {disfmarker} in a smaller group we had uh , talked and decided about continuation of the data collection . So Fey 'stime with us is almost officially over , and she brought us some thirty subjects and , t collected the data , and ten dialogues have been transcribed and can belooked at . If you 're interested in that , talk to me . Um , and we found another uh , cogsci student who 's interested in playing wizard for us . Here we 're gonnamake it a little bit more complicated for the subjects , uh this round . She 's actually suggested to look um , at the psychology department students , becausethey have to partake in two experiments in order to fulfill some requirements . So they have to be subjected , {vocalsound} {comment} before they can actuallygraduate . And um , we want to design it so that they really have to think about having some time , two days , for example , to plan certain things and figure outwhich can be done at what time , and , um , sort of package the whole thing in a {disfmarker} in a re in a few more complicated um , structure . That 's for thedata collection . As for SmartKom , I 'm {disfmarker} the last SmartKom meeting I mentioned that we have some problems with the synthesis , which as of thismorning should be resolved . And , so ,Professor F: Good .Grad B: \" should be \" means they aren't yet , but {disfmarker} but I think I have the info now that Ineed .

And ha n hav we 'll never have to look at it again Maybeit 'll take some more time , to be realistic , but at least we 're {disfmarker} we 're seeing the end of the tunnel there . That was that . Um , the uh , uh I don'tthink we need to discuss the formalism that 'll be done officially s once we 're done . Um , something happened , in {disfmarker} on Eva 's side with the PRM thatwe 're gonna look at today , and um , we have a visitor from Bruchsal from the International University . Andreas , I think you 've met everyone except Nancy.Grad A: Sorry . Hi . Hi .Grad C: Yeah .Grad B: Hi . Hi .Grad A: So when you said \" Andreas \" I thought you were talking about Stolcke .Grad B: And , um ,Grad A:Now I know that we aren't , OK .Grad B: Andy , you actually go by Andy , right ?

Oh , OK .Grad C: Yeah .Grad B: So my scientificdirector of the EML is also the dean of the International University , one of his many occupations that just contributes to the fact that he is very occupied . And ,um , the {disfmarker} um , he @ @ might tell us a little bit about what he 's actually doing , and why it is s somewhat related , and {disfmarker} by uh usingmaybe some of the same technologies that we are using . And um . Was that enough of an update ?Professor F: I think so .Grad B: In what order shall weproceed ?Grad D: OK .Grad B: Maybe you have your on - line {disfmarker}Grad D: Uh , yeah , sure . Um , so , I 've be just been looking at , um , Ack ! What areyou doing ? Yeah . OK . Um , I 've been looking at the PRM stuff . Um , so , this is , sort of like the latest thing I have on it , and I sorta constructed a couple ofclasses . Like , a user class , a site class , and {disfmarker} and you know , a time , a route , and then {disfmarker} and a query class . And I tried to simplify itdown a little bit , so that I can actually um , look at it more . It 's the same paper that I gave to Jerry last time . Um , so basically I took out a lot of stuff , a lot ofthe decision nodes , and then tried to {disfmarker} The red lines on the , um , graph are the um , relations between the different um , classes . Like , a user haslike , a query , and then , also has , you know um , reference slots to its preferences , um , the special needs and , you know , money , and the user interest . Andso this is more or less similar to the flat Bayes - net that I have , you know , with the input nodes and all that . And {disfmarker} So I tried to construct thedependency models , and a lot of these stuff I got from the flat Bayes - net , and what they depend on , and it turns out , you know , the CPT 's are really big , if Ido that , so I tried to see how I can do , um {disfmarker} put in the computational nodes in between . And what that would look like in a PRM . And so I ended upmaking several classes {disfmarker} Actually , you know , a class of {disfmarker} with different attributes that are the intermediate nodes , and one of them islike , time affordability money affordability , site availability , and the travel compatibility . And so some of these classes are {disfmarker} s some of theseattributes only depend on stuff from , say , the user , or s f just from , I don't know , like the site . S like , um , these here , it 's only like , user , but , if you lookat travel compatibility for each of these factors , you need to look at a pair of , you know , what the um , preference of the user is versus , you know , what typeof an event it is , or you know , which form of transportation the user has and whether , you know , the onsite parking matters to the user , in that case . And thatmakes the scenario a little different in a PRM , because , um , then you have one - user objects and potentially you can have many different sites in {disfmarker}in mind . And so for each of the site you 'll come up with this rating , of travel compatibility . And , they all depend on the same users , but different sites , andthat makes a {disfmarker} I 'm tr I w I wa have been trying to see whether the PRM would make it more efficient if we do inferencing like that . And so , I guessyou end up having fewer number of nodes than in a flat Bayes - net , cuz otherwise you would {disfmarker} c well , it 's probably the same . But um , No , youwould definitely have {disfmarker} be able to re - use , like , {vocalsound} um , all the user stuff , and not {disfmarker} not having to recompute a lot of thestuff , because it 's all from the user side . So if you changed sites , you {disfmarker} you can , you know , save some work on that . But , you know , in the casewhere , it depends on both the user and the site , then I 'm still having a hard time trying to see how um , using the PRM will help . Um , so anyhow , using thoseintermediate nodes then , this {disfmarker} this would be the class that represent the intermediate nodes . And that would {disfmarker} basically it 's justanother class in the model , with , you know , references to the user and the site and the time . And then , after you group them together this {disfmarker} nothe dependencies would {disfmarker} of the queries would be reduced to this . And so , you know , it 's easier to specify the CPT and all . Um , so I think that 'sabout as far as I 've gone on the PRM stuff .Professor F: WellGrad D: Right .Professor F: No . So y you didn't yet tell us what the output is .Grad D: The output.Professor F: So what decisions does this make ?Grad D: OK . So it only makes two decisions , in this model . And one is basically how desirable a site is meaning, um , how good it matches the needs of a user . And the other is the mode of the visit , whether th It 's the EVA decision . Um , so , instead of um , {vocalsound}doing a lot of , you know , computation about , you know , which one site it wants of {disfmarker} the user wants to visit , I 'll come {disfmarker} well , try tocome up with like , sort of a list of sites . And for each site , you know , where {disfmarker} h how {disfmarker} how well it fits , and basically a rating of howwell it fits and what to do with it . So . Anything else I missed ?Professor F: So that was pretty quick . She 's ac uh uh Eva 's got a little write - up on it that uh ,probably gives the {disfmarker} the details to anybody who needs them . Um , so the {disfmarker} You {disfmarker} you didn't look at all yet to see if there 'sanybody has a implementation .Grad D: No , not yet , um {disfmarker}Professor F: OK . So one {disfmarker} so one of the questions , you know , about these PR Ms isGrad D: Mm - hmm .Professor F: uh , we aren't gonna build our own interpreter , so if {disfmarker} if we can't find one , then we uh , go off and dosomething else and wait until s one appears . Uh , so one of the things that Eva 's gonna do over the next few weeks is see if we can track that down . Uh , thepeople at Stanford write papers as if they had one , but , um , we 'll see . So w Anyway . So that 's a {disfmarker} a major open issue . If there is an interpreter ,it looks like you know , what Eva 's got should run and we should be able to actually um , try to solve , you know , the problems , to actually take the data , anddo it . Uh , and we 'll see . Uh , I actually think it is cleaner , and the ability to instantiate , you know , instance of people and sites and stuff , um , will help in theexpression . Whether the inference gets any faster or not I don't know . Uh , it wouldn't surprise me if it {disfmarker} if it doesn't .Grad D: Mm - hmm .ProfessorF: You know , it 's the same kind of information . I think there are things that you can express this way which you can't express in a normal belief - net , uh ,without going to some incredible hacking of {disfmarker} sort of rebuilding it on the fly . I mean , the notion of instantiating your el elements from the ontologyand stuff fits this very nicely and doesn't fit very well into the extended belief - net . So that was one of the main reasons for doing it . Um . I don't know . So , uh, people who have thought about the problem , like Robert i it looked to me like if {comment} Eva were able to come up with a {vocalsound} you know , valuefor each of a number of uh , sites plus its EVA thing , that a travel planner should be able to take it from there . And {disfmarker} you know , with some otherinformation about how much time the person has and whatever , and then plan a route .Grad B: Um - hmm , um , {vocalsound} well , first of all uh , uh , great"}
+{"doc_id":"doc_186","qid":"","text":"Lynne Neagle AM: Good morning, everyone. Welcome to the Children, Young People and Education Committee. We've received apologies for absence fromMichelle Brown and Jack Sargeant; there are no substitutions. Can I ask if Members have any declarations of interest, please? No. Okay. We'll move on, then, toitem 2, which is our scrutiny of the 'Healthy Weight: Healthy Wales' draft strategy, and I'm very pleased to welcome Dr Frank Atherton, the Chief Medical Officerfor Wales, and Nathan Cook, who is the head of the healthy and active branch at Welsh Government. Thank you, both, for attending this morning. We're verymuch looking forward to hearing what you've got to say. If you're happy, we'll go straight into questions. If I can just start by asking about the fact that 'HealthyWeight: Healthy Wales' is an all-age strategy, really, and how confident you are that it will deliver for children and young people.Dr Frank Atherton: Well, we'revery confident. I mean, it has to, quite clearly. We do need to think about the present generation, the problems faced by the current generation. We have highprevalence of overweight and obesity among adults—we know that, and we can't walk away from that because that's translating into demand on health services.But we have to take a focus, a future generation's focus, almost, on the next generation. I don't write off the current generation, we can't afford to do that, butwe do need to think about what can we do that would be different for the next generation so that they don't get into the sorts of problems that we're currentlyseeing with overweight and obesity. We know that the consequences of that for our young people are going to be enormous if we don't do something andsomething quite soon. We know that overweight children go on to become overweight adults, unfortunately, and that brings all the consequences of multipledisease issues—diabetes is often cited—cancer risk et cetera. So, we have to focus on children, and, in fact, during the consultation, we've been very clear thatwe need to engage with children and young people as well. Perhaps we'll get into that at some point, Chair, but, yes, I can give you that assurance.Lynne NeagleAM: Okay, thank you. What my follow-up question, really, is: can you just tell us what kind of engagement you've had with children and young people to informthe draft strategy?Dr Frank Atherton: Well, Nathan may be able to influence some of the detail, but in broad terms, we have discussed with young people in anumber of fora. In fact, I was delighted that we had a young person, Evie Morgan, a schoolgirl from mid Wales, who came to the joint launch on the consultation.She met the Minister there and gave a very good personal account of her views on obesity and overweight. We've been visiting a number of schools during theconsultation process. I'm visiting a school, either this week or next week, at Treorchy, to talk with teachers and young people there. Obviously, we're hopeful thatschools and young people will contribute to the consultation as well. So, we've had quite good input, I would say, from children and young people. There is alwaysmore we can do we and we want to hear those voices.Nathan Cook: I was going to say, we've also had a session with youth ambassadors as well, and what we'veactually produced for the consultation is not just the children and young people's version, but also a toolkit in terms of getting schools really engaged andinvolved in terms of the work that we want them to do to feed into this as well. So, we've already had some really good responses from a lot of youth group andschools already.Lynne Neagle AM: And you've got a structured programme, have you, to roll that out? Okay. Thank you. We've got some questions now onleadership, and the first questions are from Siân Gwenllian.Sian Gwenllian AM: Good morning. I'll be speaking in Welsh. The Minister for health said yesterday, inanswering a question from me on the Chamber floor, that you gave him advice not to have a target in terms of reducing obesity among children. Could youconfirm that that's what your advice was and tell us why you don't think that a target is needed?Dr Frank Atherton: My advice was not that we don't need atarget—we may well need a target, and that's one of the issues we need to consult on—but that the target that had been adopted in England and in Scotland tohalve the prevalence of obesity in children was more aspirational than deliverable, and that if we are to choose a target in Wales, then we need to balancedeliverability with challenge. We need a challenging environment. So, there is something about performance management, because I would be looking to not justthe health system but the health and care system and to public services boards to think about how they're delivering on this, and I think we can use targets tothat. But they are one tool in the box that I would think we could use, and part of the consultation is to ask that question—'If we are to go down a route in Walesof choosing a target, what might that look like?'Sian Gwenllian AM: Okay. So, to be clear, you're not ruling out that maybe we would need a target.Dr FrankAtherton: It's certainly something that we could consider in terms of the final strategy.Sian Gwenllian AM: And is that your opinion too?Nathan Cook: Yes.SianGwenllian AM: Okay. Well, that is contrary to what I was told yesterday on the floor of the Chamber by the Minister, but there we go. I'm glad to hear that you'renot ruling out having a target, because without a target, without something to aim for, how do we know that we're getting there?Dr Frank Atherton: I think yourpoint about evaluation is really important. Whatever we produce at the end of this process—and we're looking to produce a final strategy towards the autumn—wedo need to have a strong evaluation. So, some metrics in there, it would seem, would be appropriate, but what those are, what the nature of those are, do weframe them as targets or ambitions—that's the point we need to consult on.Sian Gwenllian AM: Okay. And the other point, of course, is the investment. If theGovernment is going to be successful in terms of the aim of reducing childhood obesity, then it needs to fund and support the actions. Have you made anassessment of the level of investment needed to implement this plan?Dr Frank Atherton: Resourcing will be important. We currently do make investments in anumber of areas that relate to child health generally, and, of course, obesity and overweight in particular. So, the question of resourcing is important. Now, wecan't quantify an absolute amount of resource that will be needed to deliver until we know exactly what's going to come out of the consultation and what actionswe might want to deliver to a greater degree in Wales. A figure of £8 million to £10 million a year has been banded around as a broad kind of area of what wemight need to invest, but that would need to be drawn from existing programmes. We need to look at existing programmes, how effective they are. Can we makethem more effective? Can we get better value from them? And there may well be a case for new investment, and that's a question, of course, that would need tobe discussed with Ministers when we're producing the final strategy.Nathan Cook: But I think a key consideration as well is we already know there is investmentacross health boards in some kind of obesity-related services. So, I think what we really need to think about across Wales is how we can drive greater scale, howwe can look at current programmes in terms of making sure that they're better evaluated, and how we can make sure that we're also drawing up on the existingresources and capacity out there as well.Sian Gwenllian AM: And does the level of investment depend on what the target is—what the goal is?Dr Frank Atherton: Idon't think you can necessarily just link the two. The issue of resourcing is one that's there irrespective of whether we choose to put a target in place.SianGwenllian AM: But how would we know that it's being used effectively if there isn't something to aim for?Dr Frank Atherton: Which brings you back to thequestion about evaluation. We need proper evaluation of the various programmes that we have.Sian Gwenllian AM: Yes, but without a target, how can youproperly evaluate? If you don't know what you're trying to do, how can you properly evaluate? Anyway, you're open to suggestions about having a target, whichis great. Would you agree that Government could use the revenue that's being produced through the levy on soft drinks towards some of these efforts to—?DrFrank Atherton: Well, of course, there are some consequentials that are coming to the Welsh Government as part of the levy on sugary soft drinks. That funding,of course, is less than we had anticipated, and that reflects, actually, a success story because industry is reformulating, and so the amount of sugar in soft drinksis already starting to decrease, which is a good thing. But to your question: should we use the funding? Well, of course we should use funding. I'm not personallyin favour of hypothecation, I think I'm more interested in the totality of resource that goes into public health programmes than into marginal resource. There are,of course, a number of initiatives that we currently fund through the general revenue. And when I think about obesity, I don't just think about the relatively smallmarginal amounts of money that come in through whatever source, but I think about the totality of the £7 billion we spend in health and social care and how wecan divert and channel some of that towards broad prevention initiatives in general, and towards tackling being overweight and obesity in particular.SianGwenllian AM: You're saying that it's less than expected. Could you give us any kind of figure?Dr Frank Atherton: I'm sorry, could you repeat the question?SianGwenllian AM: You say that there is less money that's come in through these consequentials from the levy, can you mention some sort of figure?Dr FrankAtherton: The figure that I have in mind is about £56 million that's coming in in terms of revenue over a two-year period. But I'd have to confirm that with thecommittee. What the anticipated—. When the sugar levy was first brought in, there was some modelling at UK level about what level of revenue that would bring,but it was based on the amount of sugar that was currently then in drinks and the fact that the sugar has reduced in drinks, I mean, the total amount available tothe UK is less and hence our consequentials are less. Nathan may have some precise figures.Nathan Cook: Yes, I was going to say, there was a mid-year reportdone where the levy has raised £150 million to date since coming into force in April, and the original forecast was £520 million a year. So, I think that shows theamount of work that's been done by industry around reformulation.Sian Gwenllian AM: And the consequentials of that? That is the consequential—£150million.Nathan Cook: On a UK level.Sian Gwenllian AM: Yes, so what's the Welsh consequential?Lynne Neagle AM: Fifty-six.Sian Gwenllian AM: Fifty-six? Gosh,that sounds a lot. Anyway, it's a good sum of money and you're talking about investing £8 million to £10 million. So, obviously, you know, we can be moreambitious because there is money in that pot if that money was ring-fenced for this particular scheme.Dr Frank Atherton: Well, the resource is going to be a real"}

And so these low - pass filtered goesthrough M eh {disfmarker} another MLP and then the linear output of these two MLP 's are combined just by adding the values and then there is this KLT .

There is uh {disfmarker} there is the features uhthere 's the OGI features and then um those features um go through a contextual {disfmarker} uh l l let 's take this bottom arr one pointed to by the bottomarrow . Um those features go through a contextualized KLT . Then these features also uh get um low - pass filteredPhD C: Yeah . Yeah so yeah I could perhapsdraw this on the blackboardProfessor B: Sure . Yeah . Yeah .PhD C: Yeah .PhD D: The graph , yeah another one .Professor B: Yeah , that 's good .PhD C:Professor B: SoPhD C: So we have these features from OGI that goes through the three paths .Professor B: Yeah .

That 's it .PhD D: Two HTK .Professor B: OK so that 's{disfmarker} that 's this bottom one .PhD C: Um . So this is {disfmarker} yeahProfessor B: And so uh and then the {disfmarker} the {disfmarker} the one at thetop {disfmarker} and I presume these things that uh are in yellow are in yellow because overall they 're the best ?PhD C: Yeah that 's the reason , yeah.Professor B: Oh let 's focus on them then so what 's the block diagram for the one above it ?PhD C: For the f the f first yellow line you mean ?Professor B: Yeah.PhD C: Yeah so it 's uh basically s the same except that we don't have this uh low - pass filtering so we have only two streams .PhD D: Step .PhD C: Well . There's {disfmarker} there 's no low {disfmarker} low - pass processing used as additional feature stream .Professor B: Mm - hmm . Mm - hmm .PhD C: UmProfessorB: Do you e um they mentioned {disfmarker} made some {disfmarker} uh when I was on the phone with Sunil they {disfmarker} they mentioned someweighting scheme that was used to evaluate all of these numbers .PhD C: Yeah . Uh actually the way things seems to um well it 's uh forty percent for TI - digit ,sixty for all the SpeechDat - Cars , well all these languages . Ehm the well match is forty , medium thirty five and high mismatch twenty - five . Yeah .Professor B:Um and we don't have the TI - digits part yet ?PhD C: Uh , no .Professor B: OK .PhD C: But yeah . Generally what you observe with TI - digits is that the resultare very close whatever the {disfmarker} the system .Professor B: OK . And so have you put all these numbers together into a single number representing that?PhD C: Yeah .Professor B: I mean not {disfmarker}PhD C: Uh not yet .Professor B: OK so that should be pretty easy to do and that would be good{disfmarker}PhD C: No . Mmm yeah , yeah .Professor B: then we could compare the two and say what was better .PhD C: Mmm . Yeah .Professor B: Um and howdoes this compare to the numbers {disfmarker} oh so OGI two is just the top {disfmarker} top row ?PhD D: Yeah .PhD C: So yeah to {disfmarker} actually OGItwo is the {disfmarker} the baseline with the OGI features but this is not exactly the result that they have because they 've {disfmarker} they 're still made somechanges in the featuresProfessor B: OK .PhD C: and {disfmarker} well but uh actually our results are better than their results . Um I don't know by how muchbecause they did not send us the new resultsProfessor B: OK .PhD C: UhProfessor B: Uh OK so the one {disfmarker} one place where it looks like we 're messingthings up a bit is in the highly mismatched Italian .PhD C: Yeah . Yeah .Professor B: AnPhD C: Yeah there is something funny happening here because{disfmarker} yeah .Professor B: Yeah .PhD C: But there are thirty - six and then sometimes we are {disfmarker} we are {disfmarker} we are around forty - twoandProfessor B: Now upPhD C: butProfessor B: Uh so one of the ideas that you had mentioned last time was having a {disfmarker} a second um silence detection.PhD C: Yeah . So there are some results herePhD D: For the Italian .PhD C: uh so the third and the fifth line of the tablePhD D: For this one .Professor B: So filtis what that is ?PhD C: Filt , yeahPhD D: Yeah .PhD C: Um yeah so it seems f for the {disfmarker} the well match and mismatched condition it 's uh it bringssomething . Uh but uh actually apparently there are {disfmarker} there 's no room left for any silence detector at the server side because of the delay . UhwellProfessor B: Oh we can't do it . Oh OK .PhD C: No .PhD D: For that {disfmarker} for that we {disfmarker}Professor B: Oh .PhD C: UhProfessor B: Too bad .Good idea , but can't do it .PhD C: Yeah .Professor B: OK .PhD C: Except I don't know because they {disfmarker} I think they are still working well .Professor B:Uh - huh .PhD C: Uh t two days ago they were still working on this trying to reduce the delay of the silence detector so but yeah if we had time perhaps we couldtry to find uh some kind of compromise between the delay that 's on the handset and on the server side . Perhaps try to reduce the delay on the handset and{disfmarker} but well hmm For the moment they have this large delay on the {disfmarker} the feature computation and so we don'tProfessor B: OK . So Alrightso for now at least that 's not there you have some results with low - pass filter cepstrum doesn't have a huge effect but it {disfmarker} but it looks like it youknow maybe could help in a couple places .PhD C: I thProfessor B: Uh little bit .PhD C: Yeah .Professor B: Um and um um Yeah and uh let 's see What else did wehave in there ? Uh I guess it makes a l um at this point this is I {disfmarker} I guess I should probably look at these others a little bit uh And you {disfmarker}you yellowed these out uh but uh uh Oh I see yeah that {disfmarker} that one you can't use because of the delay . Those look pretty good . Um let 's see thatone Well even the {disfmarker} just the {disfmarker} the second row doesn't look that bad right ? That 's just uh yeah ?PhD C: Yep .Professor B: And{disfmarker} and that looks like an interesting one too .PhD D: Mmm yeah .Professor B: UhPhD C: Actually the {disfmarker} yeah the second line is uh prettymuch like the first line in yellow except that we don't have this KLT on the first {disfmarker} on the left part of the diagram . We just have the features as theyare .Professor B: Mm - hmm .PhD C: UmProfessor B: Yeah . Yeah so when we do this weighted measure we should compare the two cuz it might even come outbetter . And it 's {disfmarker} it 's {disfmarker} it 's a little {disfmarker} slightly simpler .PhD C: Mm - hmm . Yeah .Professor B: So {disfmarker} so there 's{disfmarker} so I {disfmarker} I would put that one also as a {disfmarker} as a maybe . Uh and it {disfmarker} yeah and it 's actually {vocalsound} does{disfmarker} does significantly better on the uh uh highly mismatched Italian , so s and little worse on the mis on the MM case , but uh Well yeah it 's worse thana few thingsPhD C: Mm - hmm .Professor B: so uh let 's see how that c that c c see how that comes out on their {disfmarker} their measure and {disfmarker}are {disfmarker} are we running this uh for TI - digits or uhPhD C: Yeah .Professor B: Now is TI di {disfmarker} is is that part of the result that they get for theuh development {disfmarker} th the results that they 're supposed to get at the end of {disfmarker} end of the month , the TI - digits are there also ?PhD C:Yeah . Yeah . It 's included , yeah .Professor B: Oh OK . OK . And see what else there is here . Um Oh I see {disfmarker} the one {disfmarker} I was lookingdown here at the {disfmarker} the o the row below the lower yellowed one . Uh that 's uh that 's with the reduced uh KLT size {disfmarker} reduceddimensionality .PhD C: Mm - hmm ? Yeah . Yeah .Professor B: What happens there is it 's around the same and so you could reduce the dimension as you weresaying before a bit perhaps .PhD C: Yeah , it 's {disfmarker} it 's significantly worse well but {disfmarker} Mm - hmm .Professor B: It 's significantly worse{disfmarker} it 's {disfmarker} it 's uh it 's {disfmarker} it 's mostly worse .PhD C: Exc - except for the HMPhD D: For many a mismatch it 's worse .PhD C:butProfessor B: Yeah . But it is little . I mean not {disfmarker} not by a huge amount , I don't know . What are {disfmarker} what are the sizes of any of thesesets , I {disfmarker} I 'm {disfmarker} I 'm sure you told me before , but I 've forgotten . So {disfmarker} you know how many words are in uh one of these testsets ?PhD C: UhPhD D: I don't remember .Professor B: About ?PhD C: Um it 's {disfmarker} it depends {disfmarker} well {disfmarker} the well matched isgenerally larger than the other sets and I think it 's around two thousand or three thousand words perhaps , at least .PhD D: Ye But words {disfmarker} well word{disfmarker} I don't know .PhD C: Hmm ? The words , yeah . S sentences .PhD D: Sentences .PhD C: Some sets have five hundred sentences , so .PhD D: Yeah.Professor B: So the {disfmarker} so the sets {disfmarker} so the test sets are between five hundred and two thousand sentences , let 's sayPhD C: Mmm.Professor B: and each sentence on the average has four or five digits or is it {disfmarker} most of them longer orPhD C: Yeah .PhD D: Yeah for the Italian evenseven digits y more or lessPhD C: It {disfmarker} it d Seven digits .PhD D: but sometime the sentence have only one digit and sometime uh like uh the numberof uh credit cards , something like that .Professor B: Mm - hmm . Right , so between one and sixteen . See the {disfmarker} I mean the reason I 'm asking is{disfmarker} is {disfmarker} is we have all these small differences and I don't know how seriously to take them , right ?PhD C: Mm - hmm ?Professor B: So uh iif {disfmarker} if you had uh just you know {disfmarker} to give an example , if you had uh um if you had a thousand words then uh a {disfmarker} a tenth of apercent would just be one word ,PhD C: Yeah .Professor B: right ? So {disfmarker} so it wouldn't mean anything .PhD D: Yeah .Professor B: OhPhD C: Yeah.Professor B: um so um yeah it be kind of {disfmarker} I 'd kind of like to know what the sizes of these test sets were actually .PhD C: Yeah .PhD D: The size thatwe have ?PhD C: We could {disfmarker} we could run {disfmarker} run some kind of significance testsProfessor B: Yeah since these {disfmarker} well also just"}

Uh conceptual specification of design. And also trend-watching . Um these are hopefully the points you addressed in uh your pre uh presentations you're going to show me in a few minutes . Um butfirst I'll show you the agenda . Uh first the opening . Then we have three presentations . Uh after that we have to come to a decision on remote control concepts .How we're going to make it . And then we're closing . We have about forty minutes . Uh so I suggest let's get started . Uh did someone encounter any problemsduring the preparation ? No ?User Interface: No .Project Manager: Everything fine ?Marketing: {gap}Project Manager: That's nice . Then a little uh thing aboutthe last meeting . Uh these are the points um we agreed on . The requirements and the target market . Uh requirements are uh teletext , docking station , audiosignal , small screen , with some extras that uh button information . And we are going to use default materials . Um does somebody have any comments on theserequirements ? Maybe ? No ? These are just the the things we thought of , so maybe if you figured something else or thought of something else , just let me know. And maybe we can uh work it out . And we're going to target uh sixty to to eighty year old customers . So now everybody knows what we're do we're doing , umI suggest let's get started with the presentations . So shall we keep the same uh line-up as uh last time ?Marketing: Sure .Project Manager: Okay .Marketing: I'llstart off then .Project Manager: Good luck . {vocalsound}Marketing: Doh . 'Kay I'm uh gonna inform you about the trend-watching I've done over the past fewdays . Um we've done some market research . We distributed some more enquetes , questionnaires . And um besides that um I deployed some trend-watchers toMilan and Paris to well get all of the newest trends . And I've consulted some additional trend-watch trend-watchers , after the original trend-watchers return ,about what the the best design would be . Um okay these are some overall findings . Um most important thing is the fancy design . Um the research indicatedthat that was by far the most important factor . Um innovativeness was about half as important as the fancy design . By innovativeness this means um functionswhich are not featured in other remote controls . Um about half of , half as important as the innovativeness was the was easy to use . Um for our um group ,we're focusing on the people of sixty to eighty y years old , this is um , these factors are slightly more equal . 'Kay these are some more group specific findings .Uh the older people prefer dark colours . Uh they like recognisable shapes , and familiar material . And our surveys have indicated that especially wood is prettymuch the material for older people . Um this is , this image will give you a little bit of an impression about um the look-and-feel that um the remote should have .Um this leads us to some personal preferences . Uh the remote control and the docking station should uh blend in in the in the room . Um so this would mean nouh eye-catching designs . Just keep it simple and {disfmarker} Well the docking station and small screen would be our main points of interest , because thiswould be the {disfmarker} These would uh be the innovativeness in the remote control . So this would be very important that we {vocalsound} at least includethese features . Um well the trend-watchers I consulted advised that it b should be , the remote control and the docking station should be telephone-shaped . Soyou could imagine that uh the remote control will be standing up straight in the docking station . This is not really {disfmarker} This is pretty much a new shapeto uh older people . So they would prefer uh a design where the remote control just lies flat in the docking station . So it would be kinda more telephone-shaped .Um besides that we would advise um to bring two editions , one with a wood-like colour and maybe feel , and one with a grey-black colour . The wood-like for themore uh exclusive people . People with more money . Uh the grey-black colour for well people with less means . That would be all .Project Manager: Okay . Thankyou . Any questions about the the trends ?Marketing: Any questions ?Project Manager: MaybUser Interface: Mm no .Project Manager: No ? Okay , we go on to thenext one .User Interface: {gap}Project Manager: {vocalsound}User Interface: Um {vocalsound} 'kay um yeah . {gap} uh some uh research uh a about umdesigning of an interface . Um the uh last meeting uh we had a about um uh using a f few buttons . So uh um uh that's w what I what I want to uh uh to do in uhour design . So um finding an attractive uh way to control uh the remote control . Um the uh {disfmarker} I found some uh something about uh speech uhrecognition . So maybe uh we can uh use uh that . Um {disfmarker} Uh and uh using a little uh display . So um findings . Um yeah just um we have just to focuson the primary um functions . So uh only uh buttons uh for uh sound , um for uh on-off , um uh shifting u up uh sa uh ca channel or uh down shifting down . Umuh let's see . Um yeah and {disfmarker} Uh {gap} we uh need some uh new a attractive functions uh uh which attract uh uh people for using it . So uh it's uh likea speak uh speech uh recognition and um a special button for selecting uh subtitles . Just uh what we uh mentioned uh last uh meeting . Um and yeah overall umuser-friendly . So uh using uh large large buttons . Um {disfmarker} It's uh possible to uh uh to make um quite cheap uh system for uh speech uh recognition .Um you can think about um uh when you lost your um remote control , you can uh call it and um it gives an um sig signal . So uh uh yeah . And and uh for uhshifting up a sen uh c ch channel or uh for um uh putting out uh sound or something , you can uh just give a sign uh say um sound off or {disfmarker} A and uhyeah . Television uh put the sound off uh put the sound off uh . Um {disfmarker} Let's see . Uh yeah . I was thinking about the special uh button for uh subtitles ,um just one button to keep it uh simple . Uh one push on the button uh you get uh uh small uh subtitles . Um double push push um , if double click , um so uhyou get uh big uh subtitles , for uh people uh um uh which c f uh who can't uh read small uh subtitles . So uh {disfmarker} Um {disfmarker} Yeah and w we haveto keep uh in general buttons uh so um we've got um the buttons we have to use . The on-off , sound on-off , sound higher or lower , um the numbers , uh zeroto uh uh nine . Um the general buttons m more general b one button for shifting up and shifting down uh channel . Um also we want to uh use a little d display uhfor um for displaying the uh the functions of the buttons . And um we can uh build in a function f which uh shows the channel or some uh which the t television ison . So um made a little uh picture of uh it . Um {disfmarker} See . Um yeah . Just um we can put uh the on-off button uh over in this uh corner , um almost uh eall uh remote controls uh are using a on-off button on that place . Um so uh people uh will uh recognise uh um the button .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}UserInterface: So um {disfmarker} D display uh of it , it's uh just a small display . Uh um you can put it uh on top . Um it's uh most uh uh place where people uh ,most of {gap} looks at . So uh um and a special uh button for shifting up uh and uh shifting down uh channel , um it's uh on place where um the thumb of of the{disfmarker} So you you can uh easily uh shift up or shift down . Um it's uh quite uh handy place . So um and uh all the f functions for subtitle uh one button , uhfor sound uh {disfmarker} Uh and uh for our design , um uh we have to discuss about it uh I think uh so uh the form of it so {disfmarker}Project Manager: Okay.User Interface: And that's it .Project Manager: Uh thank you . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Okay . About the components design . Um for the energy sourcewe can use a basic battery or , a as an optional thing , a kinetic energy , like in a watch , which you just shake and it produces energy . But if we choose for thatoption , the docking station would c become obsolete . So I don't think it's really an option . Uh for the casing , uh the uh manufacturing department can deliveruh a flat casing , single or double curved casing . It's really up the the design that we're gonna use . It's uh doesn't uh imply any technical restrictions . Uh as acase supplement , we could um , I thought of that l later , uh a rubber uh belt , like a anti-slip . Uh for the b buttons , we can use plastic or rubber . And thechip-set , um it says simple here , but it should be advanced , because we're using an L_C_D_ uh screen . And as uh the trend-watcher presentation showed , umpeople like wood , but it raises the price and it doesn't really fit the image , unless we would start two product lines . Form should follow function overall . Um wellthe kinetic energy source is rather fancy . But depends on what we want . I think we should disc discuss that . Um for the case , uh the supplement and thebuttons , it really depends on the designer . And the chip-set uh really should be advanced because otherwise uh it would really be a simple uh remote control .And that's it .Project Manager: Okay . Thank you . So that brings us to the discussion about our concepts . Mm .Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: 'Kay .So these are the points we have to discuss . Um first I think we can talk about the energy source , since that's um has a pretty big influence on production price ,uh and image .User Interface: {gap}Project Manager: Uh so uh f I think first of all we have to see uh it is possible to introduce kinetic energy in our budget , Ithink .Industrial Designer: Yes w there there are four options . We could use the basic normal battery .Project Manager: Yeah .Industrial Designer: Uh a handdynamo .Project Manager: {vocalsound} Okay {gap} . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: But I don't think that's {vocalsound} really an option .User Interface:{vocalsound}Industrial Designer: You don't wanna swing before you can watch television .Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound} Yeah.Industrial Designer: Uh solar cells .

Okay .Marketing: And how exactly does the kinetic energy work ?Industrial Designer: Well yyou basically shake your remote , and then it powers up .Marketing: You just {disfmarker} You use it and it works .User Interface: {vocalsound}IndustrialDesigner: Yeah .Project Manager: Yeah .User Interface: Nah .Marketing: Okay . Well personally I don't think that older people like to shake their remote controlbefore they use it .User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Yeah .

Yeah . He 's {disfmarker} he 's done a couple stays here .PhD B: Hmm .Professor C: Yeah .PhD A: So , um , {vocalsound}{comment} I guess we got lots to catch up on . And we haven't met for a couple of weeks . We didn't meet last week , Morgan . Um , I went around and talked toeverybody , and it seemed like they {disfmarker} they had some new results but rather than them coming up and telling me I figured we should just wait a weekand they can tell both {disfmarker} you know , all of us . So , um , why don't we {disfmarker} why don't we start with you , Dave , and then , um , we can go on.Grad E: Oh , OK .PhD A: So .Grad E: So , um , since we 're looking at putting this , um {disfmarker} mean log m magnitude spectral subtraction , um , into theSmartKom system , I I did a test seeing if , um , it would work using past only {comment} and plus the present to calculate the mean . So , I did a test , um ,{vocalsound} where I used twelve seconds from the past and the present frame to , um , calculate the mean . And {disfmarker}PhD A: Twelve seconds{disfmarker} Twelve {disfmarker} twelve seconds back from the current {pause} frame , is that what you mean ?Grad E: Uh {disfmarker} Twelve seconds , um ,counting back from the end of the current frame ,PhD A: OK , OK .Grad E: yeah . So it was , um , twen I think it was twenty - one frames and that worked out toabout twelve seconds .PhD A: Mm - hmm .Grad E: And compared to , um , do using a twelve second centered window , I think there was a drop in performancebut it was just a slight drop .PhD A: Hmm !Professor C: Mm - hmm .Grad E: Is {disfmarker} is that right ?Professor C: Um , yeah , I mean , it was pretty{disfmarker} it was pretty tiny . Yeah .Grad E: Uh - huh . So that was encouraging . And , um , that {disfmarker} that {disfmarker} um , that 's encouraging for{disfmarker} for the idea of using it in an interactive system like And , um , another issue I 'm {disfmarker} I 'm thinking about is in the SmartKom system . Sosay twe twelve seconds in the earlier test seemed like a good length of time , but what happens if you have less than twelve seconds ? And , um {disfmarker} SoI w bef before , um {disfmarker} Back in May , I did some experiments using , say , two seconds , or four seconds , or six seconds . In those I trained the modelsusing mean subtraction with the means calculated over two seconds , or four seconds , or six seconds . And , um , here , I was curious , what if I trained themodels using twelve seconds but I f I gave it a situation where the test set I was {disfmarker} subtracted using two seconds , or four seconds , or six seconds .And , um {disfmarker} So I did that for about three different conditions . And , um {disfmarker} I mean , I th I think it was , um , four se I think {disfmarker} Ithink it was , um , something like four seconds and , um , six seconds , and eight seconds . Something like that . And it seems like it {disfmarker} it {disfmarker}it hurts compared to if you actually train the models {comment} using th that same length of time but it {disfmarker} it doesn't hurt that much . Um , u usuallyless than point five percent , although I think I did see one where it was a point eight percent or so rise in word error rate . But this is , um , w where , um , evenif I train on the , uh , model , and mean subtracted it with the same length of time as in the test , it {disfmarker} the word error rate is around , um , ten percentor nine percent . So it doesn't seem like that big a d a difference .Professor C: But it {disfmarker} but looking at it the other way , isn't it {disfmarker} what you're saying that it didn't help you to have the longer time for training , if you were going to have a short time for {disfmarker}Grad E: That {disfmarker} that 'strue . Um ,Professor C: I mean , why would you do it , if you knew that you were going to have short windows in testing .Grad E: WaPhD A: Yeah , it seems likefor your {disfmarker} I mean , in normal situations you would never get twelve seconds of speech , right ? I 'm not {disfmarker} e uPhD B: You need twelveseconds in the past to estimate , right ? Or l or you 're looking at six sec {disfmarker} seconds in future and six in {disfmarker}Professor C: Yeah .Grad E: Um , ttwelve sProfessor C: No , total .Grad E: N n uh {disfmarker} For the test it 's just twelve seconds in the past .PhD B: No , it 's all {disfmarker} Oh , OK .PhD A: Isthis twelve seconds of {disfmarker} uh , regardless of speech or silence ? Or twelve seconds of speech ?Grad E: Of {disfmarker} of speech .PhD A: OK .PhD B:Mm - hmm .Professor C: The other thing , um , which maybe relates a little bit to something else we 've talked about in terms of windowing and so on is , that ,um , I wonder if you trained with twelve seconds , and then when you were two seconds in you used two seconds , and when you were four seconds in , you usedfour seconds , and when you were six {disfmarker} and you basically build up to the twelve seconds . So that if you have very long utterances you have the best,Grad E: Yeah .Professor C: but if you have shorter utterances you use what you can .Grad E: Right . And that 's actually what we 're planning to do inProfessorC: OK . Yeah .Grad E: But {disfmarker} s so I g So I guess the que the question I was trying to get at with those experiments is , \" does it matter what modelsyou use ? Does it matter how much time y you use to calculate the mean when you were , um , tra doing the training data ? \"Professor C: Right . But I mean theother thing is that that 's {disfmarker} I mean , the other way of looking at this , going back to , uh , mean cepstral subtraction versus RASTA kind of things , isthat you could look at mean cepstral subtraction , especially the way you 're doing it , uh , as being a kind of filter . And so , the other thing is just to design afilter . You know , basically you 're {disfmarker} you 're {disfmarker} you 're doing a high - pass filter or a band - pass filter of some sort and {disfmarker} andjust design a filter . And then , you know , a filter will have a certain behavior and you loo can look at the start up behavior when you start up with nothing .GradE: Mm - hmm .Professor C: And {disfmarker} and , you know , it will , uh , if you have an IIR filter for instance , it will , um , uh , not behave in the steady - stateway that you would like it to behave until you get a long enough period , but , um , uh , by just constraining yourself to have your filter be only a subtraction ofthe mean , you 're kind of , you know , tying your hands behind your back because there 's {disfmarker} filters have all sorts of be temporal and spectralbehaviors .Grad E: Mm - hmm .Professor C: And the only thing , you know , consistent that we know about is that you want to get rid of the very low frequencycomponent .Grad E: Hmm .PhD B: But do you really want to calculate the mean ? And you neglect all the silence regions {comment} or you just use everythingthat 's twelve seconds , and {disfmarker}Grad E: Um , you {disfmarker} do you mean in my tests so far ?PhD B: Ye - yeah .Grad E: Most of the silence has beencut out .PhD B: OK .Grad E: Just {disfmarker} There 's just inter - word silences .PhD B: Mm - hmm . And they are , like , pretty short . ShorGrad E: Pretty short.PhD B: Yeah , OK .Grad E: Yeah .PhD B: Yeah . Mm - hmm . So you really need a lot of speech to estimate the mean of it .Grad E: Well , if I only use six seconds, it still works pretty well .PhD B: Yeah . Yeah . Uh - huh .Grad E: I saw in my test before . I was trying twelve seconds cuz that was the best {pause} in my testbeforePhD B: OK .Grad E: and that increasing past twelve seconds didn't seem to help .PhD B: Hmm . Huh .Grad E: th um , yeah , I guess it 's something I needto play with more to decide how to set that up for the SmartKom system . Like , may maybe if I trained on six seconds it would work better when I only had twoseconds or four seconds , and {disfmarker}Professor C: Yeah . Yeah . And , um {disfmarker}Grad E: OK .Professor C: Yeah , and again , if you take this filteringperspective and if you essentially have it build up over time . I mean , if you computed means over two and then over four , and over six , essentially what you 'regetting at is a kind of , uh , ramp up of a filter anyway . And so you may {disfmarker} may just want to think of it as a filter . But , uh , if you do that , then , um, in practice somebody using the SmartKom system , one would think {comment} {disfmarker} if they 're using it for a while , it means that their first utterance ,instead of , you know , getting , uh , a forty percent error rate reduction , they 'll get a {disfmarker} uh , over what , uh , you 'd get without this , uh , um , policy, uh , you get thirty percent . And then the second utterance that you give , they get the full {disfmarker} you know , uh , full benefit of it if it 's this ongoingthing .PhD A: Oh , so you {disfmarker} you cache the utterances ? That 's how you get your , uh {disfmarker}Professor C: Well , I 'm saying in practice , yeah,Grad E: MPhD A: Ah . OK .Professor C: that 's {disfmarker} If somebody 's using a system to ask for directions or something ,PhD A: OK .Professor C: you know, they 'll say something first . And {disfmarker} and to begin with if it doesn't get them quite right , ma m maybe they 'll come back and say , \" excuse me ? \"PhDA: Mm - hmm .Professor C: uh , or some {disfmarker} I mean it should have some policy like that anyway .PhD A: Mm - hmm .Professor C: And {disfmarker}and , uh , uh , in any event they might ask a second question . And it 's not like what he 's doing doesn't , uh , improve things . It does improve things , just notas much as he would like . And so , uh , there 's a higher probability of it making an error , uh , in the first utterance .PhD A: What would be really cool is if youcould have {disfmarker} uh , this probably {disfmarker} users would never like this {disfmarker} but if you had {disfmarker} could have a system where ,"}

Cool .Project Manager: {vocalsound} Um and is there any questions you have that arised from last meeting that are particularly bothering you ? NUserInterface: Mm um . No , I don't think so .Project Manager: No ? Okay , cool .Industrial Designer: No .Project Manager: Then we shall start with a presentationfrom Raj .Marketing: Yeah . {vocalsound} Hi , me Raj , again . Uh in this meeting I I'm going to discuss about the trend watching , uh how these trends is goingto affect our market potential and how important is this . So we have to look on this . First of all methodology . The met methodology to find out the trend wasincl uh was done in a way {disfmarker} {vocalsound} We have done a rec not only a recent remote control market survey , but we also considered the latest frefashion trends of the market , because we think that this is also a factor which will affect our sales and profit . So what are our findings ? In our {vocalsound} uhin our findings we have seen that {disfmarker} when we did our remote control market survey we found that uh people l uh people do have preference for thofancy mobi uh f remote controls which look and feel very good , rather than having a functional look and feel uh good . So this sh this clearly indicates theirpreference for the design their outlook of the remote controls . So we should take into uh we should consider this factor as the most important factor , becausethis factor is twice as important , the second factor which is further ti twice the as important as the sec as uh the third factor . So this factor becomes the mostimportant factor in our surv uh uh in our mark uh means in take {disfmarker} in designing our rem uh remote controls .User Interface: The last one is the mostimportant one , is it ?Marketing: No the first one is theUser Interface: Oh , sorry .Marketing: uh the outlook of the mobile , the it should have a fancy outlook,Project Manager: {gap}User Interface: Okay .Marketing: the fancy design uh rather than just having a functional look and feel good , it should have a fancy lookand foo feel good .User Interface: Okay .Marketing: The second most important aspect is that remote control should be a technologically uh innovative . We musthave some technological advancement in the remote control tha rather than just putting it as it is as the other remo uh remote controls are . So it uh should betechnologically innovative like glow-in-the-dark or speech recognition , something like that .Project Manager: {vocalsound}Marketing: So that indicates ourtechnological advancement . And the third most important aspect in the ta to take into consideration is that it should be easy to use ,User Interface: Mm-hmm.Marketing: like it shouldn't be too much co complicated ,User Interface: Mm-hmm .Marketing: there shouldn't be too many buttons on this mobi uh remotecontrol , it shouldn't be too complicated uh like this way . And it should be uh {disfmarker} and customers should be provided with manuals that is easy tounderstand in their local language , something . So that they could know how to use these remote controls . When we did uh f fashions uh , recent fashion uh{disfmarker} our recent fashion update shows that {disfmarker}User Interface: {vocalsound} Sorry .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: Ah yeah ?{vocalsound}User Interface: I was just reading fruit and vegetables .Project Manager: {vocalsound}User Interface: Hard to know how we are going toincorporate that . {vocalsound}Marketing: Y yeah uh yeah , we have to , because uh d you can see how people have related their clothes , shoes , {gap} andeverything with fruits and vegetables ,Project Manager: {gap}User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: because the g world is now changing it's trend towardsorganic , becoming more and more organic ,User Interface: Okay . Yeah .Industrial Designer: We should make a big sponge lemon ,Marketing: becoming{disfmarker} {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: and then it'd be it would be yellow .Marketing: Yeah . {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound}User Interface:Yeah .Industrial Designer: It's {disfmarker}Marketing: So {disfmarker} {vocalsound}User Interface: Th that's very good .Industrial Designer: Yeah .Marketing:Yeah . So something like that we we should do .User Interface: Glow-in-the-dark . Okay .Marketing: And people uh the f feel of the material is expected to bespongy rather than just having a plastic look , hard look .Industrial Designer: Mm . {vocalsound}User Interface: Well , that's good .Marketing: {vocalsound} Yeah. Yeah .User Interface: That's what we kind of predicted anyway .Marketing: So so that they could play with it while handi uh while handling it . So that shouldalso be taken into consideration .User Interface: Okay . Okay .Marketing: So these are my views .User Interface: Okay .Marketing: So {disfmarker}UserInterface: Okay , the spongy , not real spongy , you can {vocalsound} {disfmarker}Marketing: No it ca {vocalsound} y a {gap} {disfmarker}User Interface: Doyou think like rubber would be good or does it really want to be like gel kind of stuff ?Marketing: The rubber which is good for health and which is quite disposablethat we can take into coUser Interface: Okay . Quite disposable .Marketing: Yeah . 'Cause we It shouldn't be have any harm to the environment also ,UserInterface: Okay .Marketing: because our company is very well {gap} for taking all these concerns into consideration ,Project Manager: Alright , okay .UserInterface: Oh okay .Marketing: so we don't want to have any harm to the society ,User Interface: Uh-huh .

Yeah .Marketing: {vocalsound} {gap}User Interface: And werethere any factors that weren't important in the survey , that they said we don't want ?Marketing: S uh we didn't find out any such point .User Interface: Or was itjust {disfmarker} Okay . {vocalsound}Marketing: Uh yes , there could be , but we couldn't find out any , so {disfmarker}Project Manager: Mm-mm-mm-mm.User Interface: Cool .Project Manager: Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm .User Interface: F_ , what is it ? Um .Project Manager: Function F_ eight .User Interface: {gap}yeah .Project Manager: Hmm .User Interface: Okay .Industrial Designer: {gap}Marketing: Yeah . {gap}Project Manager: {gap}Marketing: Oh no , {vocalsound}{gap} .User Interface: No signal .

Um okay , so the interface concept um . Yeah . The interface specification , what people {disfmarker} um how they interactwith it basically , I think . Um so the method , we looked at existing designs , what are the {disfmarker} what's good about them , what's bad about them , um Ilooked at their flaws , so we're going to look at their flaws , everything . Um and what {vocalsound} the survey told us and what we think would be good , so a bitof imagination .Project Manager: Mm 'kay .User Interface: {vocalsound} Uh the findings , I've got some pictures to show you as well .Project Manager:{vocalsound} {gap} either . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: Hmm .User Interface: {vocalsound} Yeah . {vocalsound} Okay , so mostremote controls use graphical interface , where you um have got s buttons and you point it rather than having the output as a a stream of text or something.Project Manager: Uh okay .User Interface: Um and we also found that there's inconsistent layout , which makes it confusing . So I think for our remote control{disfmarker} There is some inconsistency already in {disfmarker} ec existing in {disfmarker} between remote controls , but I think standard kind of um shapeand uh play and those kind of but buttons like the the top right for on and off or something ,Project Manager: Right , okay . Yeah .User Interface: I think , peoplefind that important,'cause then it's easy to use .Project Manager: {vocalsound}User Interface: And we've got some pictures of some uh new remote controls toshow you .Project Manager: Excellent .User Interface: Do I press Escape F_ five ? Or just {disfmarker}Project Manager: Uh no just escape should uh{disfmarker}User Interface: Escape , okay . Um , oh I still haven't got my glasses on . Yeah , okay . So these are the {disfmarker} some of the pictures ofexisting ones .Project Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Wow .User Interface: I'll just walk you through them . This one is a voice recognition .ProjectManager: 'Kay .User Interface: And that's the kind of idea we're going for .Project Manager: Looks pretty complicated .User Interface: There's um an L_C_D_thing , which we thought could {disfmarker} I thought could get a bit confusing and a bit expensive as well for us .Project Manager: Right , okay .User Interface:This one is {disfmarker} got a kind of scroll like a mouse ,Project Manager: Mm-hmm , like the middle button .User Interface: which {disfmarker} Yeah .ProjectManager: Okay .User Interface: Um and {disfmarker} But I'm not exactly sure how you'd use that ,Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Ah it'skinda like scrolling {disfmarker}User Interface: like would the computer come {disfmarker}Project Manager: uh right , well , if I s if I'm thinking of the right one ,I've got the same thing in front of my monitor , you scroll it and the when you reach the sort of um {vocalsound} menu item that you require , you press themiddle of the scroll .User Interface: Uh-huh , that's like the L_C_D_ one ,Project Manager: Right , okay .User Interface: is it ? But the one below that has got like{vocalsound} a little scroll function on the side . But I presume that the functions must come up on the T_V_ screen .Marketing: {vocalsound} Yeah .ProjectManager: Yeah , presumably .User Interface: I think that's what that is . So these are just a few ideas . Again that's just quite boring shape , grey , looks quitespace-agey , but too many buttons , I think on that one .Industrial Designer: Uh it looks threatening .Project Manager: Yeah , looks like uh looks like somethingout of a jet . {vocalsound}User Interface: Yeah , it does look kind of dangerous .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} It looks like yeah {gap} .Marketing: Hmm.User Interface: Um this one I thought was really cool . It's w it's got the programmability function that we talked about .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}UserInterface: You can put it in there , it's for your kids , and it's quite an organic shape and the little circle around there is pretty cool .Project Manager: Okay .User"}

I mean we have to drop on everything .Project Manager: Mm-hmm . {vocalsound} Uh {disfmarker}Marketing: But we can keep it singlecurved with uh top view still curved , but from the side it's it's flat ,Industrial Designer: Yeah .Marketing: and the screen screen is just {disfmarker} Well you justhave to hold it like this then . So {disfmarker}Project Manager: {vocalsound} Yeah . Um {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: How about {disfmarker} Sorry .ProjectManager: Uh another option I saw was to drop the buttons one through nine , so you can't directly access a channel , but instead use only the up and downarrows . That would skip nine buttons and four and a half Euros .Industrial Designer: That's what I was thinking .User Interface: Yeah .Marketing: Alright .ProjectManager: Yeah ?Industrial Designer: A aMarketing: Let's do it then . Yeah .Project Manager: Uh then we have left {disfmarker}User Interface: But we don't haveany basic options any more .Marketing: {gap} we {disfmarker} {vocalsound}Project Manager: Uh yeah . We do .Industrial Designer: And uh 'cause then theydon't have to n They don't need special colour as well .Marketing: F_ eight .Project Manager: They don't need special colours . Fine . That's more like it.Marketing: {vocalsound} Yeah .User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound} You were saying something .Industrial Designer: That was exactlymy point . Like let's drop all the buttons , and just make oneProject Manager: Yeah .Industrial Designer: {disfmarker} I mean we're gonna use the L_C_D_screen anyway . So we'll just have to use it for everything .Project Manager: Mm-hmm . Yeah .Industrial Designer: And then you can make an overview ofchannels in the screen , and select a channel , click {disfmarker}Project Manager: Yeah , some more menu options . Yeah . Okay so maybe we can drop few morebuttons .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: But um {disfmarker} Now let's look .User Interface: Yeah we c could {disfmarker} We only need thethe the the the menu arrow arrow button uh thing . Everything you can do with with the menu . So {disfmarker} With the display .Industrial Designer:{vocalsound}Project Manager: Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: Yeah we need one integrated button for everything then .User Interface: Yeah .Marketing: Thejoystick .Project Manager: {vocalsound} Uh {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Yeah . Kind of . I was {disfmarker} Because {disfmarker}Marketing:{vocalsound}Project Manager: Yeah , scroll-wheel , push-button uh {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Yeah . If you if you go to {disfmarker}Marketing:Integrated scroll-wheel push-button , yeah .Industrial Designer: If you go to our uh view , like you {disfmarker} if you are in the sound system there , uh andyou wanna adjust the treble for instance ,Project Manager: Yeah . Yeah .Industrial Designer: this is just uh an example ,Project Manager: Mm-hmm .IndustrialDesigner: y y you wanna see a bar on which you can adjust it from zero to ten for example .Project Manager: Mm-hmm . Mm-hmm .Industrial Designer: But youwant a sound preview of how it's gonna sound ,Project Manager: Yeah .Industrial Designer: right ? So you wanna click on it , activate it , whe and when you moveit , hear the difference of the treble coming out or going into the sound .Project Manager: Yeah .Industrial Designer: So you'll you'll need a a kind of a joystick uhbutton .Marketing: Yeah or or the integrated scroll-wheel push-button .Industrial Designer: Yeah .Marketing: So that's kind of on your mouse and then you canclick it , adjust it , click again and then you're out of it .Industrial Designer: Exactly .Marketing: But you still {disfmarker} But you then still need to have{disfmarker} Well you can use the scroll-wheel as well for um maybe for the channels . But you still um {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Yeah it's r Yeah.Marketing: You still have to have some some button in the menu to go back .User Interface: So you do one inte You can do one integrated scroll-wheelpush-button .Marketing: Yeah .User Interface: And then just drop all the other buttons .Project Manager: Uh yeah .Marketing: Well not all .User Interface: But butth the cost of one integrated button is far more than a few extra push-buttons .Marketing: Not s not sound I guess .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} No .ProjectManager: Yeah .

Okay . {vocalsound}ProjectManager: Okay . Um so we've got our opening , our our agenda is the opening , uh acquaintance which we've kinda done . Uh tool training , project plandiscussion and then closing .User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Uh grand total of twenty five minutes we have here . Um sowe are putting together a new remote control . Um we want it to be something original . Um of course we're a {disfmarker} not only a electronics company but afashion um conscious electronics company , so we want it to be trendy um and we want it to be easy to use . {vocalsound} Um we've got the functional design ,conceptual design and detailed design um which basically is is the three of you um . And w uh {vocalsound} well um functional design um . Um do we have{disfmarker} um any ideas of of {disfmarker} {vocalsound} maybe d let's just throw out some ideas of what kind of remote control we want to have , and thenwe can go into how we're gonna design it and and how we're gonna do the detailing on it .User Interface: Yeah . Well uh s function of remote control is just just{disfmarker} you know , change channels is its main function .Project Manager: So we want it to be um a T_V_ remote or {disfmarker} I I mean do we want it toto do other things besides just be a a television remote ?User Interface: Oh right . I suppose you c try make it a universal remoteProject Manager: 'Kay .UserInterface: for {disfmarker} could work on all sort of electrical products in in one person's house .

'Kay .Industrial Designer: Mm .UserInterface: I think they all work on the same prin principle as well sorta like {disfmarker} I don't actually know . {gap} But is it just infra-red ? Is that standard?Project Manager: I I think {disfmarker} yeah , yeah , r universal remote .User Interface: Ye yeah .Project Manager: Um this is my first uh go-round withcreating a remote control ,Marketing: Huh . {vocalsound}Project Manager: so {disfmarker}Marketing: {vocalsound} Ours too . {vocalsound}User Interface:{vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound} I think we're all in the same boat here . {vocalsound} Um {disfmarker}User Interface: Um one thing I thought ofwith the remote control is you always lose 'em .Project Manager: Okay .User Interface: So if there's a g a way of finding it quite easily , I thought that'd be quitegood quite a good feature .Marketing: Mm . ChProject Manager: So we should we should set our remote control up to where it has a uhMarketing: Like a trackingdevice ? {vocalsound}Project Manager: like a tracking device or or like a a {disfmarker}User Interface: Oh you can get those key {disfmarker} well you couldwhistle or make a noiseProject Manager: It makes a noise ,User Interface: and it'd beep .Project Manager: there's a button on the T_V_ that you pressIndustrialDesigner: Mm , mm .Project Manager: and {disfmarker}User Interface: Yeah .Marketing: Mm .Industrial Designer: Right .Project Manager: 'Kay .Marketing: Begood .Industrial Designer: So {disfmarker}User Interface: Generally , all remotes are sort of quite similar in their appearance .Project Manager: Yeah . Do wewant {disfmarker}User Interface: Just long .Project Manager: so they're kinda like long and rectangular .User Interface: {vocalsound} Yeah .Project Manager: Dowe want something crazy ?User Interface: Black usually .Project Manager: You know , we want something new that's gonna stand out .User Interface: Yeah.Marketing: Lot more modern .Project Manager: A m a modern {disfmarker} so our remote should be {disfmarker}User Interface: I think so . Maybe sortaspherical or something . A ball .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: Maybe like user-friendly , like a littleUser Interface: Yeah .Marketing: you know ,where you can use both hands , like a little keyboard type thing .User Interface: People {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Mm .User Interface: I thought maybe ,because people always tend to throw a remote control about the place to one another {disfmarker} if it was in a ball ,Project Manager: 'Kay .User Interface: andmaybe the actual controls are inside or something .Marketing: Mm .Project Manager: Um .Industrial Designer: Well there are of course certain restrictions , youcan't have it be any form and fulfil all functions at the same time ,User Interface: Yeah .Industrial Designer: so there are always the {disfmarker} somerestrictions we have to apply here . Um however um one question is how stable is that thing supposed to be , that refers to the material , pretty much um . Whatare we gonna build that thing out of ?Marketing: Mm .Industrial Designer: How sturdy is it gonna be ? Do we want it to last longer or rather have people whatever, have to buy one every half a year ?Project Manager: {vocalsound} Okay so {disfmarker} yeah , so we want it to be sturdy ,User Interface: Yeah .ProjectManager: we want it to to hold up to somebody's child , you know , throwing it across the room or , as you said , people kinda throw it , so ball-shaped , uh youknow , if it were ball-shaped maybe ,User Interface: Yeah .Project Manager: then it {disfmarker}User Interface: It could be cased on the outside and t everythingcould be inside .Project Manager: 'Kay . Um so we want it to be modern , fun , sturdy , um {disfmarker} So our form and our function . Um we want it to be umeasy to find . {vocalsound} Um {disfmarker} {vocalsound} What else {disfmarker} it {disfmarker} what else do we want it to to do ? So we want it to beuniversal . It's something that we're supposed to sell for about twenty five Euros um and you know , goals for profits are I think somewhere around uh fiftymillion Euros , what they wanna make on it , so .Marketing: Mm . Also since we're partners of the International Remote Control Association , maybe we wannamake it something that would globally appeal .Project Manager: 'Kay .Marketing: That's more on the research end , but {disfmarker} the marketing .ProjectManager: So marketing , you know , how {disfmarker} maybe uh marketing , you could s find out what is the most universally um appealing {vocalsound}remote control out there .Marketing: {vocalsound} Yeah .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: And maybe as far as design goes , maybe we could havedifferent ones for different target audiences ,Project Manager: 'Kay .Marketing: 'cause maybe one won't apply to all of the countries we're targeting .UserInterface: Ye Small .Industrial Designer: Right .Project Manager: Um {disfmarker} {vocalsound} Do you guys have any ideas for what it should look like ? Maybewe could draw it up on the on the board over there . Some ideas ? We want it to be a b a ball ,User Interface: {gap} I'd {disfmarker} I could draw sorta the ballidea .Project Manager: you know , we'll draw up we'll draw up the ball and maybe th um where the buttons are located .User Interface: My original idea was justsimply sort of a sphere , where maybe you {disfmarker} this is where it's connected together , and then when you open it out , it could fol it could be maybe flip ,like a flip phone , and then when you fold it out the middle {disfmarker} Maybe a hinge that'll have to be the strongest part of it . If that {disfmarker} if we diduse a hinge , or if it was just two parts ,Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface: and then you'd have just sorta you you you know , your buttons . Thingis inside I think , sometimes remotes have too many buttons , so maybe as simple as possible , um as few buttons inside as possible . Um , I dunno , what's theidea for . Just something {disfmarker} maybe if you ha if it had like if some kind of like light or something or lights around it . It's looking a bit like something outof Star Wars at the moment though , to be fair .Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound} But yeah .Marketing:Futuristic . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface: That was that was a sorta simple idea I hadProject Manager: Uh-huh .User Interface:and then you know you could {gap} about {disfmarker} Right , it would almost be like a ball . So that was just just an idea I had . I don't know whether anybodyelse has other ideas ?Industrial Designer: Right . One problem you'd get with this design is um {disfmarker} the ball is a nice idea because of it's stability really,User Interface: Yeah .Industrial Designer: but of course , since it's a ball , it'll roll , so we'd have to have it flat on one side at least , down here somewhere ,UserInterface: Yeah . Maybe f yeah .Industrial Designer: take away that part . That's one of the big issues . Also also you risk the hinges here . That's that's um aproblem .User Interface: Yeah , that's g that's a good idea . Yeah .

Thank you, John.John Griffiths AM: Okay. Thank you all very much, and item 1 on our agenda today isintroductions, apologies, substitutions and declarations of interest. We've received apologies from Hefin David and Lynne Neagle. There are no substitutions. Arethere any declarations of interest? No. We will move on then to item 2, and our inquiry into the impact of Brexit on higher and further education, and our firstevidence session. I'm very pleased to welcome the Higher Education Funding Council for Wales here today, and Dr David Blaney as chief executive, and BethanOwen, director of institutional engagement. Welcome to you both. Thanks for coming along to give evidence today. If it's okay with you, we'll move straight toquestions, and Julie Morgan.Julie Morgan AM: Good morning. Bore da. I wondered if we could start off with you telling us what evidence you can see that theBrexit process has had any impact on Welsh higher education so far.Dr David Blaney: Can I preface the response by just reminding you that we are, by contractand by role, apolitical, and a lot of the judgments about the impact of Brexit essentially reflect where people sit politically in terms of whether they think it's agood thing or a bad thing? We're not going to go there, obviously, today, so we'll stick to the facts as we can see them, and hopefully we'll be able to help you,but there are areas where we are unable to help. That's part of the reason.John Griffiths AM: We certainly do not expect you to enter the political fray in anyway.Dr David Blaney: Thank you. But even in terms of your assessment of whether this is going to be a good thing or a bad thing, a good impact or a bad impact,some of that inevitably in the end becomes a matter of your politics on it, so we will be as careful as we can be on that. In terms of the impact of Brexit on highereducation, clearly, the significance here is about the contribution that higher education can make to Wales. So, we fund provision; we don't fund providers,technically, although obviously there's not much provision without providers. So, we are interested in the sustainability of higher education providers, butfundamentally the issue is: what does the HE system in Wales do for Wales, and what impact might Brexit have on the capacity of the system to continue todeliver for Wales? So, we know that universities make annually about £5 billion of impact; 50,000 jobs. Of course, in Wales, all of that economic impact is reallyvery significant, and uncertainty about the relationships and the arrangements with Europe is one of the most significant issues confronting universitymanagement at the moment. That has an impact in a number of ways. We can identify at the moment the extent to which the HE sector in Wales is exposed tosources of income that are located from the EU, so EU students, structural funds, and EU research funding, and so on, from the EU. We can identify some of that,but, actually, what happens in the future is much harder to be clear about. We are beginning to see some impact in terms of applications from EU students and I'llask Bethan to share some details on that in a moment. We're also beginning to pick up, only anecdotally, some signs that there are increasing difficulties in theUK sector, and the Welsh sector as part of that, in playing in some of the EU collaborative research activities. And that, I think, just reflects the extent to whichEU partners consider that British partners might be a stable partner as we go through this transition period. We don't have data on that—that's anecdotal—butthere are signs that some of those relationships are beginning to become a little bit more difficult. In terms of the financial impact of that, clearly, if it is acceptedthat the UK is a net contributor to the EU then, presumably, some of the money—we're almost immediately straight into politics if you're not careful—but some ofthe money will be available back to the UK, and the extent to which Wales benefits or not from that returned money is a function of the political relationshipbetween the Welsh Government and Her Majesty's Government. It's not necessarily the case that Wales will always lose out in that relationship, but that willbecome a matter of politics. There's a broader dimension, which is about the economic impact of Brexit on the UK economy and how much tax revenue there isand all of that. I think it's very hard for us to be definitive about how that's going to play out. I think that depends on the deal and how it all unfolds over the nextseveral years. But we can certainly anticipate some turbulence and exactly how that plays for institutions remains to be seen. We can touch later on on the extentto which they are sighted on this and preparing for it. So, in terms of recruitment, Bethan.Bethan Owen: This is based on the UCAS applications and the reportthat was published at the end of June, 30 June. The European Union-domiciled applicants to Wales have decreased by 8 per cent, which contrasts with a 2 percent increase for English institutions, and non-EU—so international students, not from Europe—have also decreased by 9 per cent to Welsh institutions, againcontrasting with a 7 per cent increase in England. So, those are the signs of changes.John Griffiths AM: Okay. Could I then just ask you what you see as the mainpressures on the Welsh higher education sector at the moment?Bethan Owen: The funding position would be the main pressure. The recommendations made bySir Ian Diamond in his review of higher education funding and student finance are in the process of being implemented, and the changes to the student financearrangements will take effect from this September. However, the recommendations for re-establishing funding at Welsh institutions are expected to take quite abit longer. That funding, when it returns to institutions, is intended to re-establish funding for higher cost provision, both full time and part time; reinstate fundingfor innovation; and maintain, at the very least, the research funding in real terms. Universities, in the meantime, are trying to minimise the cost reductions thatthey're making in order to maintain the infrastructure, so that when the funding comes they can get the best value out of it. We have announced our fundingallocations for 2018-19. For the research and teaching grant, though, we are still funding at a lower level—£12.5 million less—then the starting point for theDiamond report, the 2015-16 starting report. But we expect to be able to start introducing funding from 2019-20 to make a start on implementing Diamond. Andit's probably important to note that the Diamond recommendations predated Brexit, therefore the challenges introduced by Brexit are in addition to those that theDiamond report was addressing. The other pressures relate to student recruitment. I mentioned the EU and international students. There is also the start of areduction, both in Welsh-domiciled and English-domiciled applications to Wales. Enrolments are obviously the key important number, which we'll see later. Andthe other pressures include pay and pension costs, not least the issues around the universities superannuation scheme pension fund, where there's potentially asignificant increase in cost. Increased student expectations for modern facilities and infrastructure bring a requirement for capital expenditure and borrowing,which bring their own pressures. And finally, the uncertainty about potential consequences that could arise from the review in England of fees and funding—theAugar review.John Griffiths AM: In terms of European Union students and enrolment, is Wales forecast to do less well than England and, if so, why might thatbe?Bethan Owen: They are not forecasting it. It's very difficult until the enrolments are made, and it's also very hard to see—the data that we see is theUCAS data. Institutions also recruit directly, so until we see the actual recruitment—. I think the arrangements that have changed from 2018-19 also impact onEU students. So, now, they have to find the full fee, whereas previously they were getting the grant in the same way as Welsh students. So, I'm speculating thatthat might be having an impact as well on EU students' appetite to come.John Griffiths AM: Okay. First of all Llyr, then Mark.Llyr Gruffydd AM: Well, that'sstraight into what I was going to ask, really, about what you think the factors are that led to this 8 per cent or 9 per cent drop in EU students applying to study inWales, where we see a 2 per cent increase in England. Is that it, or are there other things that you've taken into account? What's your assessment of the reasonsbehind this?Dr David Blaney: It's very difficult to be definitive about the reasons, but I think there are probably two. The one that Bethan has already indicated,which is the change in student support arrangements for EU students, will have an effect of perturbation. That's probably relatively temporary—let's hope it is—asthat settles down because, actually, the deal for EU students coming into Wales is no worse than that coming into England. Ours would be better because the feelevel is slightly lower, but we do struggle in Wales in terms of the Anglocentric nature of the media and so on. So, getting the messages out is a challenge. Theother dimension is that when you're in a highly competitive recruitment market, you have to do what you can to look attractive. Part of that is about being able toinvest in facilities, and particularly buildings and kit, and the relative levels of investment between Wales and England over quite a long period of time nowprobably have an impact on that. Certainly, anecdotally I know, from my own family, that a lot of the choices have been made in terms of the state of repair ofcampuses and so on. There's something rational about that, isn't there? If you've got a system that is relatively better invested, then you're likely to have abetter student experience because the resources are likely to be better. So, that's not irrational. We saw a sort of similar but opposite effect when the £9,000 feemaximum limit came in, and some institutions, mostly in England—there was one in Wales—chose to pitch their fee levels really quite low, relative to that £9,000,and caught a cold in the student recruitment market because fee levels denote quality in the student mind. So, the price sensitivities work quite differently. So,again, if you've got a relatively better invested part of the system, then that might well be one of the reasons why it looks more attractive.Llyr Gruffydd AM: Thatlatter factor would affect the whole of the cohort, not just the international recruitment, of course.Dr David Blaney: Indeed. Yes, indeed. The implementation ofthe Diamond recommendations is crucial to that because that's re-balancing where the policy of investment goes.John Griffiths AM: Okay. And Mark.MarkReckless AM: If I heard you correctly earlier, you said that the applications from non-EU students were also down by 8 per cent or 9 per cent. So, forgive me a"}

Just one sheet .Grad F: It 's just one sheet .Grad D: OK .Grad F: It 's just a {disfmarker} Nothing else .Grad D: Front , back .GradF: Um , Enough to go around ? OK . And in some ways it 's {disfmarker} it 's {disfmarker} it 's very similar to {disfmarker} There are very few changes in someways from what we 've , um , uh , b done before but I don't think everyone here has seen all of this . So , uh , I 'm not sure where to begin . Um , as usual thedisclaimers are there are {disfmarker} all these things are {disfmarker} it 's only slightly more stable than it was before .Grad E: Mm - hmm .Grad F: And , um ,after a little bit more discussion and especially like Keith and I {disfmarker} I have more linguistic things to settle in the next few days , um , it 'll probablychange again some more .Grad E: Yeah .Grad F: Um , maybe I will {disfmarker} let 's start b let 's start on number two actually on the notation , um , becausethat 's , I 'm thinking , possibly a little more familiar to , um {disfmarker} to people . OK , so the top block is just sort of a {disfmarker} sort of abstract nota it 'ssort of like , um , listings of the kinds of things that we can have . And certain things that have , um , changed , have changed back to this . There {disfmarker}there 's been a little bit of , um , going back and forth . But basically obviously all constructions have some kind of name . I forgot to include that you could havea type included in this line .Professor C: What I was gonna {disfmarker} Right .Grad F: So something like , um {disfmarker} Well , there 's an example{disfmarker} the textual example at the end has clausal construction . So , um , just to show it doesn't have to be beautiful It could be , you know , simple oldtext as well . Um , there are a couple of {disfmarker} Uh , these three have various ways of doing certain things . So I 'll just try to go through them . So theycould all have a type at the beginning . Um , and then they say the key word constructionProfessor C: Oh , I see .Grad F: and they have some name .Professor C:So {disfmarker} so the current syntax is if it s if there 's a type it 's before constructGrad F: Yeah , right .Professor C: OK , that 's fine .Grad F: OK , and then ithas a block that is constituents . And as usual I guess all the constructions her all the examples here have only , um , tsk {comment} one type of constituent ,that is a constructional constituent . I think that 's actually gonna turn out to m be certainly the most common kind . But in general instead of the word \"construct \" , th here you might have \" meaning \" or \" form \" as well . OK ? So if there 's some element that doesn't {disfmarker} that isn't yet constructional inthe sense that it maps form and meaning . OK , um , the main change with the constructs which {disfmarker} each of which has , um , the key word \" construct \"and then some name , and then some type specification , is that it 's {disfmarker} it 's pro it 's often {disfmarker} sometimes the case in the first case here thatyou know what kind of construction it is . So for example whatever I have here is gonna be a form of the word \" throw \" , or it 's gonna be a form of the word ,you know , I don't know , \" happy \" , or something like that . Or , you know , some it 'll be a specific word or maybe you 'll have the type . You 'll say \" I need a puh spatial relation phrase here \" or \" I need a directional specifier here \" . So - uh you could have a j a actual type here . Um , or you could just say in the secondcase that you only know the meaning type . So a very common example of this is that , you know , in directed motion , the first person to do something should bean agent of some kind , often a human . Right ? So if I {disfmarker} you know , the um , uh , run down the street then I {disfmarker} I {disfmarker} I run downthe street , it 's typed , uh , \" I \" , meaning category is what 's there . The {disfmarker} the new kind is this one that is sort of a pair and , um , sort of skippingfonts and whatever . The idea is that sometimes there are , um , general constructions that you know , that you 're going to need . It 's {disfmarker} it 's theequivalent of a noun phrase or a prepositional phrase , or something like that there .Grad E: Mm - hmm .Grad F: And usually it has formal um , considerationsthat will go along with it .Professor C: Mm - hmm .Grad F: And then uh , you might know something much more specific depending on what construction you 'retalking about , about what meaning {disfmarker} what specific meaning you want . So the example again at the bottom , which is directed motion , you mightneed a nominal expression to take the place of , you know , um , \" the big th \" , you you know , \" the big {disfmarker} the tall dark man \" , you know , \" walkedinto the room \" .Grad E: Mm - hmm .Grad F: But because of the nature of this particular construction you know not just that it 's nominal of some kind but inparticular , that it 's some kind of animate nominal , and which will apply just as well to like , you know , a per you know , a simple proper noun or to somecomplicated expression . Um , so I don't know if the syntax will hold but something that gives you a way to do both constructional and meaning types . So . OK ,then I don't think the , {comment} um {disfmarker} at least {disfmarker} Yeah . {comment} None of these examples have anything different for formalconstraints ? But you can refer to any of the , um , sort of available elements and scope , right ? which here are the constructs , {comment} to say somethingabout the relation . And I think i if you not if you compare like the top block and the textual block , um , we dropped like the little F subscript . The F subscriptsrefer to the \" form \" piece of the construct .Professor C: Good .Grad F: And I think that , um , in general it 'll be unambiguous . Like if you were giving a formalconstraint then you 're referring to the formal pole of that . So {disfmarker} so by saying {disfmarker} if I just said \" Name one \" then that means name oneformal and we 're talking about formal struc {comment} Which {disfmarker} which makes sense . Uh , there are certain times when we 'll have an exception tothat , in which case you could just indicate \" here I mean the meaningful for some reason \" . Right ? Or {disfmarker} Actually it 's more often that , only to handlethis one special case of , you know , \" George and Jerry walk into the room in that order \" .Grad E: Mm - hmm .Grad F: So we have a few funny things wheresomething in the meaning might refer to something in the form . But {disfmarker} but s we 're not gonna really worry about that for right now and there are wayWe can be more specific if we have to later on . OK , and so in terms of the {disfmarker} the relations , you know , as usual they 're before and ends . I shouldhave put an example in of something that isn't an interval relation but in form you might also have a value binding . You know , you could say that , um , youknow , \" name - one dot \" , t you know , \" number equals \" , you know , a plural or something like that .Grad E: Mm - hmm .Grad F: There are certain things thatare attribute - value , similar to the bindings below but I mean they 're just {disfmarker} us usually they 're going to be value {disfmarker} value fillers , right ?OK , and then again semantic constraints here are just {disfmarker} are just bindings . There was talk of changing the name of that . And Johno and I{disfmarker} I {disfmarker} you {disfmarker} you and I can like fight about that if you like ? but about changing it to \" semantic {pause} n effects \" , which Ithought was a little bit too order - biasedGrad B: Well {disfmarker} ThGrad F: and \" semantic bindings \" , which I thought might be too restrictive in case wedon't have only bindings . And so it was an issue whether constraints {disfmarker} um , there were some linguists who reacted against \" constraints \" , saying , \"oh , if it 's not used for matching , then it shouldn't be called a constraint \" . But I think we want to be uncommitted about whether it 's used for matching or not .Right ? Cuz there are {disfmarker} I think we thought of some situations where it would be useful to use whatever the c bindings are , for actual , you know , sortof like modified constraining purposes .Professor C: Well , you definitely want to de - couple the formalism from the parsing strategy . So that whether or not it 'sused for matching or only for verification , I {disfmarker}Grad E: Yeah .Grad F: Yeah , yeah . It 's used shouldn't matter , right ? Mm - hmm .Professor C: s Forsure . I mean , I don't know what , uh , term we want to useGrad F: Mm - hmm .Professor C: but we don't want to {disfmarker}Grad F: Yeah , uh , there was onetime when {disfmarker} when Hans explained why \" constraints \" was a misleading word for him .Professor C: Yep .Grad F: And I think the reason that he gavewas similar to the reason why Johno thought it was a misleading term , which was just an interesting coincidence . Um , but , uh {disfmarker} And so I was like ,\" OK , well both of you don't like it ?Professor C: It 's g it 's gone .Grad F: Fine , we can change it \" . But I {disfmarker} I {disfmarker} I 'm starting to like itagain .Grad B: But {disfmarker}Grad F: So that that 's why {disfmarker} {comment} That 's why I 'll stick with it .Grad A: Well , you know what ?Grad F: So{disfmarker}Grad A: If you have an \" if - then \" phrase , do you know what the \" then \" phrase is called ?Professor C: ThGrad F: What ? Con - uh , a consequent?Grad A: Yeah .Grad F: Yeah , but it 's not an \" if - then \" .Grad A: No , but {disfmarker}Professor C: I know . Anyway , so the other {disfmarker} the otherstrategy you guys could consider is when you don't know what word to put , you could put no word ,Grad F: Mm - hmm .Professor C: just meaning . OK ? And thethen let {disfmarker}Grad E: Yeah .Grad F: Yeah , that 's true .Grad B: So that 's why you put semantic constraints up top and meaning bindings down{disfmarker} down here ?Grad F: Oh , oops ! No . That was just a mistake of cut and paste from when I was going with it .Grad B: OK .Professor C: OK .Grad F:So , I 'm sorry . I didn't mean {disfmarker} that one 's an in unintentional .Grad B: So this should be semantic and {disfmarker}Grad F: Sometimes I 'mintentionally inconsistentGrad B: Grad F: cuz I 'm not sure yet . Here , I actually {disfmarker} it was just a mistake .Grad B: Th - so this definitely should be \"semantic constraints \" down at the bottom ?Grad E: Sure .Grad F: Yeah .Grad B: OK .Grad F: Well , unless I go with \" meaning \" but i I mean , I kind of like \""}

This is our first team meeting .User Interface: Good day .Marketing: Morning .Industrial Designer: Morning .ProjectManager: I'll be your Project Manager for today , for this project . My name is Mark {gap} will be giving this presentation for you to kick the project off .{vocalsound} That's my uh that's the agenda for today . Well , of course we're new to each other , so I'd like to get acquainted first . So let's do that first , I mean{disfmarker} Let's start with you , can you introduce yourself ? You're our Marketing Expert .Marketing: Yes . {vocalsound} Um my name is Dirk , Dirk Meinfeld .Um I will be uh {gap} Pr Project {disfmarker} the Marketing Expert . And I will see what the user wants and uh what we can do uh with the new produ project{disfmarker} product . {vocalsound}Project Manager: Okay , excellent . And you are User Interface {disfmarker}User Interface: Nick Broer ,Project Manager:Yeah .User Interface: User Interface Designer . I'm going to uh look at the technical design from the uh user point of view .Project Manager: Excellent . Okay.Industrial Designer: My name is Xavier Juergens , I'm the Industrial Designer , and there are three main questions that I have to find an answer to today . Firstone is uh what happens inside the apparatus , second is what is uh the apparatus made of ,Marketing: Hmm .Industrial Designer: and the third is what should itlook like .Project Manager: What should it look like ? Okay .Marketing: Hmm .Project Manager: Oh , let's kick it off . Oh , there we go . So , our new project isabout {disfmarker} we need design a remote control for television set , so , which has to be original , trendy and user-friendly . I took this off our corporatewebsite . {disfmarker} I think well it sums up what we need to do . It's We're inspired by latest fashion , not only electronics , but also the latest trends in clothesand interior design . That's why our product will always fit in your home . So apparently we need to {vocalsound} um be very at um very open to what's currentlyhot in the market . So that's what you need to do to bring us the latest info and what people want .Marketing: Yeah . Yeah .Project Manager: So {disfmarker} Sowe put the fashion in electronics . So that's what we need to go for . Anyway , we'll take this project in three steps , three pha uh three phase of design . Firststep will be the functional design .Marketing: Yeah .Project Manager: And that's basically what we're gonna do . Everybody has uh a piece of individual work and ameeting afterwards , so we can share information about {disfmarker} So I'm gonna keep this short , since we had a technical problem . So skip through this . Uh. Okay . Every meeting we {disfmarker} everybody can present their uh their views and everything , so to help with these , you have {disfmarker} we have theSMARTboards here . We can use a regular PowerPoint presentation . I'm supposed to give you an introduction on this doodling board , so it's {disfmarker}actually it's very easy . Like it says , very simple , you just take out the pen . Like you see here , I'll just take the {disfmarker} take {gap} here . That's it , youjust put it on the board . You see a pen here . You go here , just like using a pen . You can just draw whatever you want . It's like the eraser , can erase whateveryou want . And so it will be easy just to illustrate your views , if you wanna change the format , you just {vocalsound} either take out jus just like the pen , andwhatever you want , your current colour , your line width , just to make the line bigger . So it should be really easy .Marketing: Okay .Project Manager: This is totake the {disfmarker} just take a new slide and back again . We're just gonna keep using this board all the time , so I think it will be {disfmarker} it's very clearfor everyone , I suppose . So I'll take this out . {vocalsound} Okay . We'll use that later . Anyway . Yeah , just just just stuff that you wanna share , just put it inthe in the project folder , like I put my presentation now . I'll put the the minutes of every meeting , I'll put them there too , so everybody can read up if theyhave to leave early or whatever . So next , been here . {vocalsound} Well , {gap} gonna give the electronic white-board uh a shot . So basic idea is we have ablank sheet . Just try whatever you want , and like it says , draw your favourite animal . I think the creative genius should go first . {vocalsound}User Interface:{vocalsound} The creative genius ?Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}User Interface: Thank you very much .Project Manager: So , drawus your favourite animal .User Interface: {vocalsound} Well , I'm more into the technical aspects of drawing ,Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}User Interface: soI'm not really good at drawing animals ,Project Manager: Draw us a technical animal .User Interface: but uh the animal which I {gap} {disfmarker} Oh .ProjectManager: Yeah , it's still erasing .User Interface: {vocalsound} Pen .Marketing: {vocalsound}User Interface: Uh format . Else my animal will be like king-size . Ipretty much like {vocalsound} a dolphin , because of its uh its freedom basically . Let's see . A head . {gap} actually worked with this . It's like uh it's a very{disfmarker} Uh high-tech .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}User Interface: Bit low-responsive though .Project Manager:{vocalsound} So that's what we don't want .User Interface: Prefer pen and paper .Project Manager: We want a high-responsive product . So {disfmarker} Itlooks more like nuclear bomb .Marketing: {vocalsound} Very nice dolphin .User Interface: It {vocalsound} {vocalsound} doesn't look like a nuclear bomb.Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound}User Interface: This thing isn't doing what I'm {disfmarker} What I want.Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Let's go easy on it .User Interface: So {disfmarker} {vocalsound} Yeah , well it does look like a nuclear bomb .ProjectManager: {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}User Interface: I'll just finish up real soon , because I'm {disfmarker}Marketing: {vocalsound}User Interface: Soit doesn't really look like a dolphin ,Project Manager: {vocalsound} Anyway ,User Interface: but then again , this is all new for me .Project Manager: it should{disfmarker} It {disfmarker} It's supposed to be a dolphin , you like the freedom that it {disfmarker} that it represents .Industrial Designer: Uh-huh .UserInterface: Like the ocean , like swimming . Do that in my spare time , so that's basically an {disfmarker}Project Manager: What do you like ? Okay . Well ,UserInterface: Now we can forget this ever happened .Project Manager: our Marketing Expert . Show us an animal .Marketing: Um an animal .Project Manager: {gap}Pick a {disfmarker} pick a {disfmarker}Marketing: I like the elephant . {vocalsound}Project Manager: pick a clean sheet . Oh . Take a clean sheet first.Marketing: What ? Yeah . Um {disfmarker}Project Manager: Just press next . That's it .Marketing: Oh yeah . Oh , a blank . Okay , next . Free , I like the elephant. It's big , it's strong , so uh uh {disfmarker} Oh , it's a little bit {disfmarker}User Interface: It's not really that responsive , no . {vocalsound}Marketing: Youhave to hold it , right ?Project Manager: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Mm .Marketing: Hmm .Project Manager: {vocalsound}Marketing: {gap} It's a beautifulanimal .Project Manager: {vocalsound}Marketing: Oh , you have to p press it pretty hard . With a smile on it ,Project Manager: {vocalsound} It's a cute elephant.User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: it's very important . Yeah .Project Manager: {vocalsound}Marketing: And uh not to forget its tail . Oh .Project Manager:It's a nice beard .Marketing: Yeah , it's okay . Yes . {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound}User Interface: And you was making comments on my dolphin .{vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound} I will beat the dolphin . {vocalsound} No .Project Manager: Okay , so it's just a bee.Marketing: Yeah .Project Manager: So I suggest you make us the elephant in the market . The big and strong player in the market . This would be good.Marketing: Yeah . Yeah .Project Manager: Okay , excellent . On to the next one .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Okay .Marketing: Uh yeah .IndustrialDesigner: Okay , you should press next .Marketing: {vocalsound} Yeah .Project Manager: Press next . Yeah , it's up there .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Okay .Project Manager: That's it .Industrial Designer: Okay , well the animal I'd like to draw is a tiger .Project Manager: {vocalsound}User Interface: You pickeda hard one , didn't you ? {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: My drawing skills are really bad , so .Marketing: Experience with the tiger .Project Manager:{vocalsound}Marketing: What ? They are {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: They are really bad , my drawing skills .Project Manager: {vocalsound}Marketing:Okay uh-huh .Project Manager: Sure looks smooth .Marketing: Oh .Industrial Designer: I'm not sure how the legs should go , but {disfmarker}Project Manager:{vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Uh these are stripes .User Interface: Got it . {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: I've picked this animal because it's very fast . Itis uh it knows exactly what it wants . Uh it hardly ever wastes any resources .Project Manager: What does it want ?Industrial Designer: Uh well , basically uh ithunts for prey , but it does it always in a very well-thought way . Uh it knows exactly what it wants . It never kills an animal uh just for the killing , so it's veryefficient . And it tries to do everything as fast as possible .Project Manager: Okay .Industrial Designer: And it always goes for uh security , in seeking uh uh a hidespot and uh and doing everything ,Marketing: Mm .Industrial Designer: security , speed and efficiency is important . And I think uh those things we can use.Project Manager: I agree .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Marketing: Okay .Project Manager: , I'm supposed to draw the animal next . Yay I introduce to theworld the amazing ant .User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound} Uh hard worker .Project Manager: Great team-workers .User Interface:{vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Yeah .Marketing: Yeah .Project Manager: Do everything to Uh really small , but together they're really strong . So I'm gonnagive it a smiley face .Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Oh .Marketing: Yeah , yeah .Project Manager: Not sure where the p {gap} . Just put 'em here . Whatever. {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Think it need shoes . So {disfmarker}Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound} I'm justtoo lazy to draw it all black , so {disfmarker} {vocalsound} That's the coolest ant ever .User Interface: You've done this before , haven't you ?{vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound}Project Manager: I love to draw ants . It's my hobby .Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Anyway{disfmarker} Nah . {vocalsound} Just {disfmarker} I think it's very representative what we drew , I guess . Like you take {disfmarker} just take your freedomand use a a trendy interface that you design for us .Marketing: Yeah .Project Manager: Just {disfmarker} Yeah . You're supposed to make i make it different fromuh from what other people have , and just make it a little distinct . Anyway . {gap} another beep to stop the meeting . See . Warning .

Um I'm Mandy and I'm theProject Manager . And I know all your names again , Courtney , Fenella and Amber .Marketing: Yep .Project Manager: Alright . Okay ,Industrial Designer: Yep.Project Manager: so first let's go through this PowerPoint . I wonder what button I press ?User Interface: Just do it on the {gap} arrow .Industrial Designer:{gap}Project Manager: Yeah , or how about I just click ? Okay , here is our agenda for this meeting . Um we're gonna start with our opening which was ourintroductions . {vocalsound} We're gonna get to know each other a little bit better . Um tool training , we're going to , I guess , figure out what to do on thisproject with our individual roles . Um we're gonna make a project plan and then have some time for discussion and close up the meeting . Okay , here is ourproject . We're gonna make a new remote control that's um original , trendy and also user-friendly . And how we are going to do it is each of us is going to um{disfmarker} We're gonna have {disfmarker} discuss the functional design first , {vocalsound} how is it gonna be used , what's the actual goal here , it has tooperate T_V_ , blah blah blah . And we're going to do individual work on that and then meet . Same thing with conceptual design . Just the basic overview of theproject and then we're going to do individual work , meet . That's pretty much the the whole process for today . And then the detailed design , just more in-depth, get the actual schematics of the remote . Okay . Alright . First we're gonna start off by using our tools . And the whiteboard thing , do you guys wanna give thata try even though the ink wasn't working or do you wanna do it on here .Industrial Designer: I think we should forgo the whiteboard since we can't actually seewhat we're writing .Marketing: We could {disfmarker} Yeah , we could on here .Project Manager: Alright , let's go forward then .User Interface:{vocalsound}Project Manager: Um right now so we're all gonna draw our favourite animal and then sum up our favourite characteristics of that animal . Even ifyou are not a good drawer like me .User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound} Alright .Industrial Designer: Artistic skills , nil .User Interface:Fine .Project Manager: Um .User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound} Oh , thanks . {vocalsound}Project Manager: Bless you .Industrial Designer:{vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} I draw like I'm in grade five .Project Manager:{vocalsound} Oh do I .User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: {vocalsound} 'Kay , about one more minute . {vocalsound} Okay .Marketing:{vocalsound}Project Manager: Okay . And who would like to start us off ?Marketing: I'll go .Project Manager: Alright .Marketing: {vocalsound} Um this is mypicture . I drew fish {disfmarker} {vocalsound} I like fish , because uh , you know , their whole water-vascular system thing .User Interface:{vocalsound}Marketing: It's pretty cool , and um they've got a pretty good habitat and they are pretty sometimes , sometimes vicious but that's okay .ProjectManager: {vocalsound} Only if they're piranhas .Marketing: Yeah .User Interface: {vocalsound}Marketing: Yeah , they they're easy , you know .Project Manager:Alright .Marketing: Yeah .Project Manager: Who wants to go next ?Industrial Designer: I'll go .User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: I drew a kitty .It's pretty much impossible to tell that's a cat , but I love cats .Marketing: No I I see it .Project Manager: No , it looks like a cat .User Interface: No , I kne I knew.Marketing: Yeah , it does look like a cat .Industrial Designer: I love cats because they're independent , uh they pretty much know what they want , they get it ,they move on . {vocalsound}Project Manager: I love cats , too . I'm a cat person .User Interface: Yeah .Marketing: I'm allergic to cats .Project Manager: Uh.Industrial Designer: I'm allergic to cats , too . {vocalsound}User Interface: Ah .Marketing: {vocalsound} Oh , okay . {vocalsound}Project Manager: If you'rearound one {disfmarker}User Interface: In my next life .Project Manager: I had a roommate who was um allergic , but if she was around my cat forever shebecame used to it , you know ,Marketing: Yeah , yeah , if you're around them for a long period of time {disfmarker}Project Manager: it's weird . Okay .{vocalsound}Industrial Designer: I still can't sleep with them in my room .Marketing: Oh , yeah , this summer I , oh I had to live with cats . It was crazy .ProjectManager: Okay , Fenella ?Marketing: Yeah .User Interface: Um , I drew a badger . {vocalsound}Project Manager: Badger . Good choice .Industrial Designer: Yay.Marketing: Cool . {vocalsound}User Interface: {vocalsound} Well , yeah .Project Manager: Why a badger ?User Interface: {vocalsound} Uh I dunno , they'regrumpy and nocturnal and {vocalsound} {gap}Marketing: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: {vocalsound} Are you trying to suggest something ?ProjectManager: {vocalsound}User Interface: Well , a little bit like the {disfmarker} Yes . Um . {vocalsound} And then , if you know Wind in the Willows {gap} badger.Marketing: Oh , okay .User Interface: Yeah and then uh I don't know if you know Brian {gap} . He's Liverpudlian writer .Project Manager: Alright .User Interface:Um {gap} , that kind of books . Badgers are cool in that one too . {vocalsound}Project Manager: Okay . And I'm last . 'Kay . Look at my sad sad giraffe.Marketing: No , that's good .Project Manager: No , no , no , it ends up looking like some kind of a dinosaur , but whatever . I don't know even much aboutgiraffes , but I just love the way they look . They're just such odd creatures , you know . I I like that they're so unique and individual , I guess . I don't knowmuch about their behaviour or anything , though . Only seen a couple in zoos .Marketing: You don't really have to , I mean , if you like 'em {disfmarker}ProjectManager: Yeah , but you can appreciate the way they look . Okay . Alright . Guess we're getting straight back into business here .User Interface: {gap}ProjectManager: Um the selling price for our remote is going to be twenty-five Euro , and our profit aim is fifty million Euro . We're going to make this an internationalproduct marketed in the States , in Europe , in Asia . And um our production cost to make that profit is gonna be a max of twelve fifty Euro per remote . Okay .So we're gonna talk for a little while . Um here are some topics that we might be able to discuss . Expe our experiences with remote controls um , our first ideasabout this new remote , anything that you can bring to the table for this project . So .User Interface: Now ?Project Manager: Yeah . You wanna start us off ?Anybody have anything to offer ?User Interface: {vocalsound}Industrial Designer: Well , we wanna make a multifunctional remote , right ?Project Manager: Right.Industrial Designer: One remote for everything .User Interface: And everything being {disfmarker} Wait , we have what , sound system , T_V_ , D_V_D_ ,V_H_S_ , uh TiVo ?Marketing: Right .Industrial Designer: Um . I think they'll be phasing V_H_S_ out shortly .Marketing: Yeah , TiVo .Project Manager: TiVo .UserInterface: But it's still there , soIndustrial Designer: Okay .User Interface: if po if we're gonna do it {disfmarker}Marketing: It needs to be compatible 'causeuniversal remote controls are never universal .Project Manager: They're never universal . That's right . Esp e especially if you buy a a not big product , D_V_D_player , say , usually it doesn't work if it's not one of the {disfmarker}User Interface: Or if it's not like a Sony , if it's like a {disfmarker} I don't know .ProjectManager: Yeah . Yeah . Something from Sam's club .Industrial Designer: So we'll have to figure it how to cover all the different variances in signals .ProjectManager: Yeah .Marketing: And what we need an insanely good instruction booklet , because you always have to reconfigure all your contraptions to go with theremote anyways .Project Manager: Yeah . 'Kay , and um another thing that I think is important is the d the design of the product , how it feels in your hand . Ifit's just flat and kind of boring th those don't {disfmarker} Nobody wants to buy those any more . They want the ergonomic ones .Marketing: They want like theflashy lights .Project Manager: Yeah .Marketing: Oh like this came from Las Vegas .Project Manager: Ones that ones that look high-tech , too .User Interface: Butat the same time are simple .Project Manager: Right .Marketing: Mm yeah .Project Manager: So that people like my mother can use it .Industrial Designer: Whatabout something with the curvature like that matches the curvature of a hand ?Project Manager: Yeah .User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: 'Kay .Anybody have any experiences with remote controls that they can remember that {disfmarker}User Interface: Just bad ones . {vocalsound}Project Manager:Yeah {gap} . {vocalsound} That's true .User Interface: Um .Industrial Designer: What kinda battery would we want to use ? Because battery changing is usually{disfmarker}User Interface: D Double A_ .Marketing: Double A_ .Industrial Designer: Okay .Project Manager: Do some of them use triple A_s though ?Marketing:Yeah some use triple A_s .Project Manager: Okay .User Interface: Some but {disfmarker}Marketing: So double or triple ?User Interface: Yeah , I guess then it's{disfmarker} If we need to do triple A_ we can , but most people usually have double A_s around .Project Manager: Okay . Yeah . But that has to do with the sizeof it too . Well , w as long as we know that issue is {disfmarker}Industrial Designer: Yeah .User Interface: Right .Project Manager: Here we can{disfmarker}Marketing: Yeah , if we want it to be more thin , then we'd probably wanna go with a triple A_ .Project Manager: Triple A . ButIndustrial Designer:Can you {gap} with a small lithium battery ?Project Manager: it's okay , we don't have to decide about it now , just as long as we remember battery type and sizeis important .User Interface: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Hey . Anything else ? Alright . Moving along . Oh , we're closing the meeting . Next meeting is gonnastart in thirty minutes . Here's what we're going to do . Um the I_D_ , which is who ? Okay , you're going to think about the working design . What do you thinkthat means ? {vocalsound}Marketing: {vocalsound}Project Manager: Okay . And U_I_D_ , the technical fun functions design ,User Interface: Mm-hmm .ProjectManager: making sure it does everything that we need the remote to do , the functionality of it , operating all those different things . Okay . And the marketingperson , that's Courtney , is going to do the user requirements specification . I guess that means specifying um what exactly the user is going to be looking for .Right ? I would think so . Okay .Marketing: Right .Project Manager: And you're gonna get more specific instructions emailed to you in just a little while . Okay , sodoes anybody have anything they wanna say before we close the meeting ? Okay . This meeting is officially over ."}

They know.(gunshots)You said he wouldn't get too close.See?(gunshots)(knocking)Jack: We're here!(police radio chatter)Will: Could be a permanent installation in your Evil Minds Museum.Jack: Well, what we learnabout Garrett Jacob Hobbs will help us catch the next one like him. There's still seven bodies unaccounted for.Will: Yeah, well, he was eating them.Jack: Had tobe some parts he wasn't eating.Will: Not necessarily.Jack: All right, what if Hobbs wasn't eating alone? It's a lot of work. Disappearing these girls, butcheringthem, and then not leaving a shred of anything other than what's in this room.Will: Someone he hunted with.Jack: Someone who is in a coma, who alsohappened to be someone he hunted with.Will: Abigail Hobbs is a suspect?Jack: We've been conducting house-to-house interviews at the Hobbs residence, and,uh, at this property also. Hobbs spent a lot of time here. Spent a lot of time with his daughter here. She would make the ideal bait, wouldn't she?Will: Hobbskilled alone. Ah... someone else was here.[SCENE_BREAK](Applause)Will: Thank you. Please stop that. This is how I caught Garrett Jacob Hobbs. It's hisresignation letter. Does anybody see the clue? There isn't one. He wrote a letter, he left a phone number, no address. That's it. Bad bookkeeping and dumb luck.(gasping) Garrett Jacob Hobbs is dead. The question now is how to stop those his story is going to inspire. (projector click) He's already got one admirer. Acopycat.[SCENE_BREAK]Will: Hi.Alana: How are you, Will?Will: Uh, I have no idea.Alana: Um, I didn't want you to be ambushed.Will: This is an ambush?Alana:Ambush is later. Immediately later soon to now. When Jack arrives, consider yourself ambushed.Will: Here's Jack.Jack: How was class?Will: Um, they applauded.It was inappropriate.Jack: Well, the review board would beg to differ. You're up for a commendation. And they've, uh, okayed active return to the field.Alana: Thequestion is, do you want to go back to the field?Jack: I want him back in the field. And I've told the board I'm recommending a psych eval.Will: Are we startingnow?Alana: Oh, the session wouldn't be with me.Jack: Hannibal Lecter's a better fit. Your relationship's not personal. But if you are more comfortable with Dr.Bloom-Will: No, I'm not going to be comfortable with anybody inside my head.Alana: You've never killed anyone before, Will. It's a deadly force encounter. It's alot to digest.Will: I used to work Homicide.Jack: The reason you currently used to work Homicide is because you didn't have the stomach for pulling the trigger.You just pulled the trigger ten times!Will: Wait, so a psych eval isn't a formality?Jack: No, it's so I can get some sleep at night. I asked you to get close to theHobbs thing. I need to know you didn't get too close. How many nights did you spend in Abigail Hobbs' hospital room, Will?Will: Therapy doesn't work onme.Jack: Therapy doesn't work on you because you won't let it.Will: And because I know all the tricks.Jack: Well, perhaps you need to un-learn sometricks.Alana: Why not have a conversation with Hannibal? He was there. He knows what you went through.Jack: Come on, Will. I need my beautysleep![SCENE_BREAK]Will: What's that?Hannibal: Your psychological evaluation. You are totally functional and more or less sane. Well done.Will: Did you justrubber stamp me?Hannibal: Yes. Jack Crawford may lay his weary head to rest knowing he didn't break you and our conversation can proceed unobstructed bypaperwork.Will: Jack thinks that I need therapy.Hannibal: What you need is a way out of dark places when Jack sends you there.Will: Last time he sent me into adark place, I brought something back.Hannibal: A surrogate daughter? You saved Abigail Hobbs' life. You also orphaned her. That comes with certain emotionalobligations, regardless of empathy disorders.Will: You were there. You saved her life too. Do you feel obligated?Hannibal: Yes. I feel a staggering amount ofobligation. I feel responsibility. I've fantasized about scenarios where my actions may have allowed a different fate for Abigail Hobbs.Will: Jack thinks AbigailHobbs helped her dad kill those girls.Hannibal: How does that make you feel?Will: How does it make you feel?Hannibal: I find it vulgar.Will: Me too.Hannibal: Andentirely possible.Will: It's not what happened.Hannibal: Jack will ask her when she wakes up, or he'll have one of us ask her.Will: Is this therapy, or a supportgroup?Hannibal: It's whatever you need it to be. And, Will, the mirrors in your mind can reflect the best of yourself, not the worst of someoneelse.[SCENE_BREAK]Boy1: What is that?Boy2: I bet it's marijuana.Boy3: Mushrooms. Look, they got tubes to water 'em or something.Boy2: No, it's a marijuanaplant.Boy1: That's not marijuana.[SCENE_BREAK]Beverly: I'm pretty sure firearm accuracy isn't a prerequisite for teaching.Will: Well, I've been in the fieldbefore.Beverly: Now you're back in the saddle. Ish.Will: Ish indeed. Took me 10 shots to drop Hobbs.Beverly: Zeller wanted to give you the bullets he pulled outof Hobbs in an acrylic case, but I told him you wouldn't think it was funny.Will: Probably not.Beverly: I suggested one of those clackin' swingin' ball things.Will:That would've been funny.Beverly: You're a Weaver. I took you for an isosceles guy.Will: I have a rotator cuff issue so I have to use the Weaver stance.Beverly:You are tight.Will: I got stabbed when I was a cop.Beverly: Yeah, I got stabbed in the third grade with a number two pencil. Thought I was gonna get leadpoisoning.Will: Uh, no lead in pencils; It's graphite.Beverly: See if that helps with the recoil.Will: That was better. You come all the way down here to teach mehow to shoot?Beverly: No. Jack sent me down here to find out what you know about gardening.(crow cawing)Jack: So, Lecter gave you the all-clear. Therapymight work on you after all.Will: Therapy is an acquired taste which I have yet to acquire. But, uh, it served your purpose. I'm back in the field.Jack: Local policefound tire tracks on a hidden service road and some small animal traps in the surrounding area.Will: He wanted to keep his crop undisturbed.Jack: The only thingmissing is the scarecrow.[SCENE_BREAK]Jimmy: OK, we've got nine bodies, various stages of decay, and as you can see, all very well fertilized.Beverly: Heburied them in a high-nutrient compost. He was enthusiastically encouraging decomposition.Brian: They were buried alive with the intention of keeping them thatway. I mean, for a little while.Jimmy: : Long enough for the fungus to eat away any distinguishing characteristics.Brian: Line and rebar were used to administerintravenous fluids after they were buried. He was feeding them something.Will: No restraints?Jimmy: Just dirt.Beverly: The other end of the air-supply systemcomes up over there.It isn't a very considerate clean air solution, which clearly wasn't a priority, 'cause he isn't lazy.Will: No, he's not.Beverly: You find anyshitakes?Brian: : No.Jack: Welcome back.[SCENE_BREAK]Detective: Tell Sam to give me a call, will you? Thank you. Excuse me.Freddie: I'm one of the parentsof the explorers who found the bodies. I wanted to thank you for being so good with all the boys.Detective: Those boys were very brave.Freddie: They are goodboys.Detective: Yeah.Freddie: You're a local police detective?Detective: Yes ma'am.Freddie: Would it be an imposition to ask a few things? The boys are gonnahave questions and I just want to be as honest with them as-Detective: Of course.Freddie: Can you, uh, tell me what that man is doing over there byhimself?Detective: He's some kind of special consultant. Works for the FBI.Freddie: Huh.(sound muted)(soft ambient pulse)(Sound returns.)Will: I do not bind hisarms or legs as I bury him in a shallow grave. (ventilator pumping) He's alive. But he will never be conscious again. He won't know that he's dying. I don't needhim to. This is my design.[SCENE_BREAK]Detective: I think your family's leaving.Freddie: We drove separately.[SCENE_BREAK](muffled gasp) (Will gasping)Will:I need an EMT!(person gasping)Katz: EMT! We need an EMT!Officer Zeller: Don't touch him![SCENE_BREAK]Will: This may have been premature.Hannibal: Whatdid you see? Out in the field.Will: Hobbs.Hannibal: An association?Will: A hallucination. I saw him lying there in someone else's grave.Hannibal: Did you tell Jackwhat you saw?Will: No!Hannibal: It's stress. Not worth reporting. You displaced the victim of another killer's crime with what could arguably be considered yourvictim.Will: I don't consider Hobbs my victim.Hannibal: What do you consider him?Will: Dead?Hannibal: Is it harder imagining the thrill somebody else feelskilling, now that you've done it yourself? The arms.Why did he leave them exposed? To hold their hands? To feel the life leaving their bodies?Will: No, that's tooesoteric for someone who took the time to bury his victims in a straight line. He's more practical.Hannibal: He was cultivating them.Will: He was keeping themalive. He was feeding them intravenously.Hannibal: But your farmer let his crops die. Save for the one that didn't.Will: Well, and the one that didn't died on theway to the hospital, though they weren't crops; They were the fertilizer. The bodies were covered in fungus.Hannibal: The structure of a fungus mirrors that ofthe human brain an intricate web of connections.Will: So maybe he admires their ability to connect the way human minds can't.Hannibal: Yours can.Will: (laughs)Yep. Um yeah, not physically.Hannibal: Is that what your farmer is looking for? Some sort of connection?[SCENE_BREAK]Hannibal: Have a good evening,Will.[SCENE_BREAK]Hannibal: Miss Kimball?Freddie: Yes.Hannibal: Good evening. Please come in.[SCENE_BREAK]Freddie: I've, uh, never seen a psychiatristbefore. And I am unfortunately thorough, so you're one of three doctors I'm interviewing. It's more or less a bake-off.Hannibal: I'm very supportive of bake-offs.It's important you find someone you're comfortable with.Freddie: I can imagine you as my therapist, which is good. If I can't visualize opening up emotionally, Iknow it would be a problem.Hannibal: May I ask why now?Freddie: Do you mind if I ask you a few questions first?Hannibal: Of course not.Freddie: I love thatyou've written so much on social exclusion. Since that's why I'm here, I was wondering-Hannibal: Are you Freddie Lounds?Freddie: Ah...Hannibal: This isunethical, even for a tabloid journalist.Freddie: I am, uh, I am so embarrassed.Hannibal: I'm afraid I must ask for your bag.Freddie: What?Hannibal: Your bag.Please hand it over. I'd rather not take it from you. Thank you.Freddie: I was recording our conversation.Hannibal: Our conversation? Yours and mine?Freddie:Yes.Hannibal: No other conversation?Freddie: No.Hannibal: You were very persistent about your appointment time. How did you know when Will Graham wouldbe here?Freddie: I may have also recorded your session with Will Graham.Hannibal: You didn't answer the question. How did you know?Freddie: I can't answer"}

We must talk, but not here.[SCENE_BREAK]HEDIN: Castellan.HEDIN:I'm worried by what both the Doctor and his companion have said.CASTELLAN: The possible connection between this creature and Gallifrey?HEDIN: Yes. And thefact that a Time Lord could be a traitor. You do intend to pursue it?CASTELLAN: They were both overwrought.HEDIN: But if it were trueCASTELLAN: I'm sure I'dknow if such a serious breach of security had occurred.[SCENE_BREAK]NYSSA: You're sure it was the Doctor's biodata extract?DAMON: Yes, I managed to pass itto him on his way to the compound.NYSSA: We must tell the High Council immediately.DAMON: But who to trust?

Can you arrange it?HEDIN: Difficult. The Castellan is very possessive about hischarges.DAMON: The Doctor isn't a criminal.HEDIN: True, but what has happened makes him very dangerous.NYSSA: Please, try.HEDIN: I said difficult, Nyssa,but not impossible. Especially with one so sensitive to public opinion as the Castellan is.[SCENE_BREAK]DOCTOR: My bioscan.[SCENE_BREAK]STUART: I justdon't think it's wise, that's all.TEGAN: I'm not scared to go into that crypt, if that's what you mean.STUART: Look, I feel bad enough about Colin.

I probably wouldn't have.He's a noble.Merlin: Yeah, but he's a good man.Gwaine: (snorting) if you say so.Merlin: Well, you're a hero. The King wants to thank you in person. Gwainealmost spits what he is drinking.Gwaine: Please, no. I've met a few kings... Once you've met one, you've met them all.Merlin: He'll probably give you anaward.Gwaine: I'm not interested. Besides, I've got everything I need right here.Merlin: Why did you help us?Gwaine: Your chances looked between slim andnone.

He's here for the melee.Merlin: Oh, yeah the tournaments where the knights ride around hitting each other with blunt weapons for no goodreason.Arthur: A little more to it than that...Merlin: Really? All I've ever seen is people getting the seven bells knocked out of them, so the last man standing canbe called the winner.Arthur: (patronizing) the melee is the ultimate test of strength and courage.Merlin: Are you sure we are talking about the same thing?Arthur:Well I wouldn't expect you to understand. You're not a knight.Merlin: Well, if it means I don't get clobbered round the head, I'm glad of it.Arthur: Well, I'm afraidit doesn't.

Gwaine puts the flower in Gwen's hair.Gwen: I bet you've got a whole bunch of those to hand out.Gwaine: Yours is the only one.Gwen smiles and tries to leave.Gwaine: I'm Gwaine. Gwaine takes out his hand, they shake hands, but Gwaine does not let Gwen go.Gwaine: You haven't told meyour name. He keeps holding Gwen's hand.Gwaine: You look like a princess to me. So it's probably something like Sophia or Esmeralda! That's it! PrincessEsmeralda! Gwaine bows to Gwen.Gwen: Stop it, people are staring.Gwaine: Not until you tell me your name.Gwen: It's Gwen.Gwaine: There, that wasn't sohard, now was it? Gwen tries to move past him. He tries to take a basket.Gwaine: A princess should not have to lump her washing around.Gwen: Unfortunately,I'm not a princess.Gwaine: Ah, but you see, you are to me. She giggles.Gwaine: This is not working is it?Gwen: No, not really. But I like that you tried and thatyou know when to give up. She takes the flower out of her hair.Gwen: You'd better have this in case someone else takes your fancy.Gwaine: I've eyes only foryou.Gwen: I'm sure. Gwen goes finally goes her way, Gwaine chuckles and goes his way.[SCENE_BREAK]In the woods Dagr and Ebor are spying on two knightswho are camping.Sir Ethan: How much further would you say it is from Camelot?Sir Oswald: Half a day's ride.

They hug.Arthur: You'venever managed it before.Dagr/Oswald: That was then. This is now. Arthur punches him and turns to the other knight who introduces himself.Ebor/Ethan: SirEthanArthur: This is my servant, Merlin.

Survival Camp Later that night, Rick is sitting down with the group around a fire camp.Rick:Disoriented. I guess that comes closest. Disoriented. Fear, confusion... all those things but... Disoriented comes closest.Dale: Words can be meager things.Sometimes they fall short.Rick: I felt like I'd been ripped out of my life and put somewhere else. For a while I thought I was trapped in some coma dream,something I might not wake up from ever.Carl: Mom said you died.Rick: She had every reason to believe that. Don't you ever doubt it.Lori: When things startedto get really bad, they told me at the hospital that they were gonna medevac you and the other patients to Atlanta, and it never happened.Rick: Well, I'm notsurprised after Atlanta fell.Lori: Yeah.Rick: And from the look of that hospital, it got overrun.Shane: Yeah, looks don't deceive. I barely got them out, youknow?Rick: I can't tell you how grateful I am to you, Shane. I can't begin to express it.Dale: There go those words falling short again. Paltry things.

Keep our fires low,just embers so we can't be seen from a distance, right?Ed: I said it's cold. You should mind your own business for once. Shane gets up and walks over to Ed'sfire.Shane: Hey, Ed... Are you sure you want to have this conversation, man?Ed: Go on. Pull the damn thing out. Go on! Carol, his wife, pulls the log out of thefire. Their daughter, Sophia, watches as Carol pulls the log out.Shane: Christ. Shane stomps the flames out.Shane: Hey, Carol, Sophia, how are y'all thisevening?Carol: Fine. We're just fine.Shane: Okay.Carol: I'm sorry about the fire.Shane: No no no. No apology needed. Y'all have a good night, okay?Carol: Thankyou.Shane: I appreciate the cooperation. Shane rejoins the other group.Dale: Have you given any thought to Daryl Dixon? He won't be happy to hear his brotherwas left behind.T-Dog: I'll tell him. I dropped the key. It's on me.Rick: I cuffed him. That makes it mine.Glenn: Guys, it's not a competition. I don't mean to bringrace into this, but it might sound better coming from a white guy.T-Dog: I did what I did. Hell if I'm gonna hide from him.Amy: We could lie.Andrea: Or tell thetruth. Merle was out of control. Something had to be done or he'd have gotten us killed. Your husband did what was necessary. And if Merle got left behind, it isnobody's fault but Merle's.Dale: And that's what we tell Daryl? I don't see a rational discussion to be had from that, do you? Word to the wise... We're gonna haveour hands full when he gets back from his hunt.T-Dog: I was scared and I ran. I'm not ashamed of it.Andrea: We were all scared. We all ran. What's yourpoint?T-Dog: I stopped long enough to chain that door. Staircase is narrow. Maybe half a dozen geeks can squeeze against it at any one time. It's not enough tobreak through that... Not that chain, not that padlock. My point... Dixon's alive and he's still up there, handcuffed on that roof. That's on us. TentRick: I foundyou, didn't I?Carl: I love you, dad.Rick: I love you, Carl. Rick kisses Carl goodnight and then joins Lori on the other side of the tent. Rick kneels down andpassionately kisses Lori. Rick then lies next to Lori.Rick: I found you both.Lori: Yeah.Rick: I knew I would.Lori: You're getting cocky now, a little bit.Rick: No. No,I knew. Walking into our home, finding an empty house, both of you gone.Lori: I'm so sorry.Rick: I knew you were alive.Lori: How?Rick: The photos were gone,all our family albums. Lori chuckles and grabs one of them.Rick: I told you so.Lori: Now you're getting cocky, huh? A lot. They look at some photos from Carl'slast birthday. Rick hands her the photo from his squad car.Rick: It belongs in here.Lori: Baby, I really thought I would never see you again. I'm so sorry... Foreverything. I feel like... When you were in the hospital, I just... I wanted to take it all back... The anger and the bad times. But the mistakes... Rick kissesher.Rick: Maybe we got a second chance. Not many people get that. Rick and Lori continue to kiss. Rick notices his wedding ring on Lori's necklaceRick: Iwondered where that went.Lori: Do you want it back?Rick: Of course. Lori takes it off and puts it back on Rick's ring finger. Rick and Lori start to get passionateand Lori turns out the lantern. Rick looks over at Carl sleeping.Lori: He won't wake up. The two proceed to make love. Outside Up on the RV, Shane is sittingalone and watches the Grimes' tent. He puts his hat on and seems very upset. Thunder is still rumbling. Tent The next morning, Rick wakes up and sees that Loriand Carl are not in the tent. Outside He walks out and sees that everything is fine.Rick: Morning.Man: Morning.Rick: Hey.Woman: Hi.Carol: Morning.Rick:Morning.Carol: They're still a little damp.

Then one afternoon in 2010, Iachieved that goal.Ted's classTed: Unfinished. Of all the words you could use to describe La Sagrada Familia... Brown, pointy, weird... The one that really seemsto stick is \"unfinished.\" Why? Because on June 7, 1926, the architect Antoni Gaudi... Whose beard was also brown, pointy, weird and unfinished......was run overby a bus. And so, his greatest masterpiece would remain forever...Ted from 2030: But first, let's back up a few days.A few days earlier - The BarBarney: Ted,look across the bar. Three chicks: one hot, one kind of hot and one who I'm assuming is really funny. We ride! What's wrong?Ted: I don't know. Got a burgercoming.Marshall: Bro, I told you, if you ever need a wingman, I'm your guy.Barney: Yeah, I'm not going to go through that again.[FLAHBACK]Barney: Hi. BarneyStinson.Marshall: And I'm Marshall, Barney's wingman.Barney: Thank you for your time.[END OF FLAHBACK]Barney: Fine. I'll have a three-way with hot and kindof hot while Giggles works the camera. I ride!Robin: So, get this: Last night, I was watching TV, and it turns out, some random satellite channel picks up a certainlocal Chicago newscast.[FLASHBACK](Robin is watching TV in her appartment)TV Speaker: And now, the 11:00 News with Don Frank.[END OF FLASHBACK]Ted:Oh, man, it's bad enough to have to go through a horrible breakup, but then have that person pop up on your TV? Are you okay?Robin: Well, I'll admit, at first, Ifelt a little weird. But after the initial shock, I realized something: I've moved on. Finished with that. It was a peaceful moment of closure.Ted: That's great. Goodfor you.Robin: Yeah, thank you.Lily: Where's the poop, Robin?Robin: Excuse me?Lily: When I was a kid, I had a dog named Bean. Whenever he made the facethat you're making right now, you just knew he pooped somewhere in the house. Where's the poop, Robin?Robin:I don't know what you're talking about.Lily:Where's the poop, Robin? Robin:There's no poop.Lily: Where's the poop? Robin:Okay. So it wasn't entirely a peaceful moment of closure.[FLASHBACK](Robin iswatching TV, drinking a beer)Robin: Hey, Don, here's some breaking news: there's a zit breaking ou on your forehead. Finished with that.[END OFFLASHBACK]Robin: Look, I'm not proud, but Don left so quickly that I never got the chance to have that final showdown. So yelling at him, even on TV, felt kindof good. And you know what? Now I truly am over him.Ted: That's great.Robin: Thank you.Lily: Good for you. Where's the poop, Robin?Robin: Damn it! Okay, inthe process of truly getting over him, I may have called him and left an... indelicate voice mail.[FLASHBACK](Robin is on the phone with Don's vocal)Robin: I amgonna kill you. I'm gonna fly to Chicago, kill you, put your stupid face on a deep dish pizza and eat it. And then maybe catch a Bears game. But mostly the killingand eating your face thing.[END OF FLASHBACK]Lily: Give me your phone. We're deleting Don's number.Robin: Don't worry. I am never doing that again. It wasa one-time thing.Lily: Prove it. Delete contact.Robin: There. Deleted.(Barney comes back)Marshall: Back already. How was flying solo? And by \"solo,\" I mean solow that you got shot down.Barney: Look, I didn't get shot down. Trust me, I'll get the yes. Barney Stinson always gets the yes. This is all part of the plan. Afterinitial contact, I'm now in the ignoring phase.Lily: Barney, why can't you just take a girl out to dinner like a normal person?Barney: Golden rule: I do not buydinner to get the yes. Dinner's a very intimate activity. It requires a level of connection and eye contact that s*x just doesn't. Call me old-fashioned, but I need tohave s*x with a girl at least three times before I'll even consider having dinner with her.Ted from 2030: The next day, at the university, I had a surprise visitor.Atthe universityTed: What are you doing here? Oh, God! You're dating one of my students. It's Rachel, isn't it? Barney, I know she wears provocative sweaters, butshe's 19! Now I'm gonna have to hear all about it, right? Go on, tell me every detail.Barney: No, you pent-up old perv. I brought you a present. Recognizethis?Ted: It's my building.Ted from 2030: Kids, you may remember that, a few years earlier, I was chosen to design the new Manhattan headquarters for GoliathNational Bank. It was the opportunity every architect dreams about. And when the project was ultimately scrapped... it broke my heart.Barney: Do youremember how awesome it was to be co-workers... Nay, bro-workers?Ted: Wait a minute. Y-You don't mean...Barney: Ted Mosby, it's back on. We're gonna buildyour building.[CREDITS OPENING]The barMarshall: This is awesome... You're designing our new headquarters. Now, there will be voices that tell you a hockeyrink on the roof is unfeasible. You've got to shut those voices out.Ted: Actually, I think I'm gonna say no.Robin: No? Are you kidding me?Lily: But designing abuilding in New York City is your lifelong dream.Ted: I do not want to work for GNB again. Those guys are evil. No offense, Marshall.Marshall: Dude, none taken.Yes, GNB is, the Empire from Star Wars. But the Death Star's gonna get built either way. And don't you think the architect of the Death Star is pretty psyched tohave that thing on his space resume? I mean, yes, his design was flawed in the sense that a single bullet fired into a particular vent would explode the wholething.Ted: For all we know, that was the contractor's fault.Marshall: But that won't happen on your watch... you know why? Because you're Ted Mosby! And youare gonna design the most beautiful, ventless, Rebel-proof building in Manhattan, with clearly marked emergency stops for every trash compactor on thedetention level.Ted: Look, I know this is hard to understand, but right now, I have a quiet, simple, happy little life. And I like it that way. I know what my answerhas to be.Barney's officeTed: I can't take the job, Barney. I'm done with that life. No hard feelings?Barney: Of course not.Ted: All right.Ted from 2030: And Ithought that was the end of the story. But then that night...The BarTed: I'm telling you, no architect would ever design a giant exposed vent right over a DeathStar's core reactor. That's Space Architecture 101. It had to be the contractor. Barney, back me up. Barney. Dude, this is important.Barney: I need anotherdrink.Ted: Marshall, you want anything?Marshall: No, I'm fine.Ted: Okay, I get that he's mad at me for turning down the job, but acting like I'm not evenhere?Marshall: Wait, you turned down the job? When?Ted: This morning.Marshall: That's so weird. Just, like, an hour ago, when we were leavingwork...[FLASHBACK](Barney's office)Marshall: So, you still think Ted's gonna take the job?Barney: Please. I'll get the yes. Barney Stinson always gets theyes.[END OF FLASHBACK]Ted: Am I wrong or is that exactly what Barney says when he's putting the moves on a girl?Marshall: Exactly. I mean, it's almost likehe's putting the moves on you.Ted: Yeah, more like the opposite. He's been ignoring me all night. Barney wants me to take the job so bad he's putting the moveson me?Marshall: I hope that's his end game. Actually, I don't. I like you two together.Ted: I don't buy it. That's crazy, even for Barney.Marshall: Okay, well, thinkabout it. We've seen his moves countless times. What does he do after he's done ignoring a girl?[FLASHBACK]Barney: Chrissy, I love your glasses.Chrissy:Really?Barney: They totally pull focus up from that whole chin situation you got going on. To Chrissy.[END OF FLASHBACK]Marshall: The backhanded complimentto lower her self-esteem... a proven winner.Ted: But Barney hasn't done...Barney: Ted, I admire your loyalty. You've had that hairstyle forever. You don't carethat it's out of fashion or that it's been co-opted by the lesbian community. You stick with it. To Ted.Robin's appartment - Lily comes inRobin: Hey, Lily!Lily: Don't\"Hey, Lily\" me.

Before we get started, I'd like to announcethe winner of our design your own flag competition. But I can't. The only entry was from GameyGamer75, and I know that was a jpeg of your buttocks. Now thisweek we have a very special episode where we explore the flags of the popular entertainment franchise, Star Trek. And to help me, I'm pleased to introduceInternet personality, former star of Star Trek: The Next Generation, and the only guy I know lucky enough to be immortalized in one sixteenth scale. Set phasersto fun for my friend, Wil Wheaton.Wil: Hi, Sheldon. Thanks for having me. I'm happy to be here.Amy: Cut.Sheldon: What's wrong?Amy: Sorry, Sheldon, you werebrilliant as always. Wil, that was a little wooden.Wil: Wooden?Amy: Don't worry, it wasn't terrible. Just, this time, try to say it the way people sound. Andaction.Sheldon: My friend, Wil Wheaton.Wil: Hi, Sheldon. Thanks for having me. I'm excited to be here.Sheldon: So, Wil, what do you have for us first?Wil: Well,this is an exciting one. This is the flag of the United Federation of Planets. Now what's interesting about this flag...Amy: Cut.Wil: What was wrong with that?Amy:It's called Fun with Flags. They're not at half-mast, nobody died. Let's try and keep it upbeat.Wil: Um, no offence, but I've been acting since I was a kid. I think Ican handle a Web show without a lot of direction.Sheldon: It's true. In 1982, Wil played the voice of Martin the mouse in The Secret of NIMH. You movedme.Amy: You'll have to forgive me. This is my first time directing, I just want it to be good.Wil: So do I.Amy: Great. So, this time let's try more real boy, lessPinocchio. And action.Wil: And cut. You realize that I'm doing this for free, right?Amy: Yes. And so far, we're still not getting our money's worth. Let's try it again.Everybody's having fun. And action.Sheldon: So, Wil, what do you have for us first?Wil: Well, this is an exciting one. This is the flag of the United Federation ofPlanets.Amy: Cut.Wil: Problem, first-time director?Sheldon: Oh, none that I could see. I saw a man who loved flags almost as much as I do. I got goosebumps.Amy: He was overacting on purpose.Sheldon: Really? He reminded me of a young William Shatner.Wil: Listen, Sheldon, I'm really happy to do this foryou, but not if she's gonna be a huge pain in the ass the whole time.Amy: You gonna let him speak to me like that?Sheldon: Well, you're my girlfriend and I don'twant you to be upset. Then again, Wil Wheaton's my friend and I don't want him to be upset. Hmm, this is a sticky wicket. (To Wil) What do you think?Amy: CanI speak to you for a second?Sheldon: I'll be right back. Feel free to play with yourself.Amy: I don't care for your friend, he's being rude to me. You need to askhim to leave.Sheldon: Amy, I can't just ask Wil Wheaton to leave. He's a minor celebrity. Once you explain who he is, many people recognize him.Amy: Fine.Then maybe I should go.Sheldon: Could you? That would solve everything. You are the best. I'll see you at dinner tonight?Amy: You sure you wouldn't ratherhave dinner with your friend Wil Wheaton?Sheldon: Come to think of it, I would! You, little lady, are on fire. Credits sequence.Scene: Howard'sbedroom.Bernadette: Every time we eat dinner here, your mother refuses to let me help with the dishes.Howard: Don't take it personally. She likes doing themby herself so she can lick the plates with no one looking.Bernadette: You ready to go?Howard: Yeah, let me just grab a couple of fresh turtlenecks.Bernadette: Idon't understand why you keep your stuff here when there's plenty of room at home.Howard: What are you talking about? All I have here is a few sweaters,books, bank stuff, computers, mail, collectibles, medicine and my electric body groomer. Ooh, there's my plaid dickie. Oh, got this at the Goodwill store for 50cents. Can you believe it?Bernadette: 50 cents sounds right. Let's go.Howard: You know, it's kinda late. Why don't we just spend the night here?Bernadette:Because we don't live here.Howard: I know.Bernadette: Do you? You said when you got back from space you were gonna move into my apartment, but half thetime we stay here.Howard: That's not true.Mrs Wolowitz (off): Howard, I'm doing laundry. You want me to put anything in for you?Howard: There's someunderwear in the hamper.Mrs Wolowitz (off): Oh, good, I got that new stain stick to try out.Howard: Thank you, I only put it on the list two weeks ago. Okay, Isee what you're getting at. How about this weekend I'll box up all my things and move them to our place.Bernadette: Thank you.Howard: The lightsabres aregonna look great in the living room.Bernadette: Or in the closet. We can decide later.Mrs Wolowitz (off): Howard, help, my hand's stuck in the garbagedisposal.Howard: Let go of whatever piece of food you're holding.Mrs Wolowitz (off): Are you kidding? It's a perfectly good chicken leg.Scene: Theapartment.Leonard: Hey, look who's out after dark, like a big boy.Sheldon: I was out raising heck with Mr. Wil Wheaton. Four hours more and we would haveclosed down the HomeTown Buffet.Leonard: I thought you had plans with Amy.Sheldon: Yeah, I did, but then Wil called Amy a pain in the A-S-S. She got huffyand left, then Wil and I headed out to dinner. That place really did remind me of my hometown. Because there we also have a HomeTown Buffet.Leonard: Holdon. Wil and Amy had an argument?Sheldon: Yes, quite the kerfuffle.Leonard: Then Amy got mad and left?Sheldon: Walked right out the door.Leonard: Andyou?Sheldon: Enjoyed a delightful dinner at a reasonable price. The manager recognized Wil and let us sit right next to the frozen yoghurt machine. Right next toit. I was closer to it than I am to you right now.Leonard: Buddy, I think Amy might be upset.Sheldon: Why's that?Leonard: Because your friend was rude to her,and then you went to dinner with him.Sheldon: You're just repeating what I said. It's like living with a lactose-intolerant parrot.Leonard: Trust me, callher.Sheldon: Fine. It's a shame you didn't go to dinner with us, because the buffet you're about to enjoy only serves humble pie, a dessert much less tasty thanfrozen yoghurt. I was this close.Amy (on skype): What?Sheldon: You'll appreciate this. Leonard has some ridiculous notion that you're mad at me. Tell him you'renot mad at me. Go ahead, set him straight.Amy: I'm mad at you, Sheldon.Sheldon: Hmm. Eat one of your Luna bars. Very often when women think they'reangry, they're really just hungry.Amy: I'm not hungry. Your friend insulted me, and you didn't do anything.Sheldon: Precisely, I didn't do anything. Now doessomeone feel like checking her emotional math?Leonard: Keep going, buddy, you're doing great.Amy: Sheldon, I'm your girlfriend, and you should have taken myside. That's it. End of story.

But you used to work here, you know how it is.Bernadette: Kitchen slammed again?Penny: No, I'm a terrible waitress, remember?Bernadette:So, is there anything I can do to help you with the move tomorrow?Howard: Now that you mention it, I was thinking tomorrow might not be great.Bernadette:What's your excuse this time?Howard: No excuse. It's just, you know, I'm Jewish, and technically, we're not supposed to drive or carry anything on the Sabbath.So this one's on God.Bernadette: That might be a little more convincing if you didn't have a mouthful of bacon cheeseburger.Howard: My religion's kindaloosey-goosey. Basically, as long as you got your schmekel clipped and don't wear a cross, you're good.Bernadette: Howie, you promised you'd move.Howard:And I will.Penny: Yeah, right.Howard: I will. I'm obviously not going to live in my mother's house for the rest of my life. I'm not a child.Penny: I've seen her burpyou.Howard: She did not burp me. She was patting me on the back, and I happened to burp. Don't you have other tables you should be waiting on?Penny: Yeah,but I told you, I'm not good at my job. Bernadette, listen to me. He is never gonna leave.Bernadette: I'm starting to think you're right.Howard: All right, I've hadenough of this. I'm a grown man, I have a successful career, for the love of God, I've been to space. I will move out when I'm ready, and I don't need anyonebadgering me into it.Penny: Wow, excuse me.Howard: That was just for her benefit. I'll move tomorrow. I love you. Don't leave me.Scene: Amy'sapartment.Sheldon: (Knock, knock, knock) Amy. (Knock, knock, knock) Amy.

I'm not even into all this stuff.Seth: So the old you is back?Summer: In all of my artificially tanned glory.Seth: Thank God 'Cause I was not sure thatthe new you and old me were really working.Summer: Yeah, the new me kind of smelled weird. Well, what would you have done if I didn't go back to beingme?Seth: I had a plan to coax the old Summer out. The Valley, Season Three? Summer: Awesome! At Cohen'sKirsten: I checked on Ryan. Did he leavealready?Sandy: Yeah. He seemed to be doing okay. I was hoping to hang with him while Seth is away. Poker, maybe shoot a little pool, but his new job is goingto make that tough.Kirsten: Well, I could rack a few balls with you.Sandy: You are so smart and sexy and gorgeous. But sometimes a man just needs to hangwith the guys.Kirsten: Well, that I'm not.Sandy: You know, Jimmy left, Caleb died, then Jimmy left again. Even Neil's gone. Look, I wasn't a pennant winner, butat least I had a bullpen, you know?Kirsten: It's baseball talk. I got it. Why don't you give Jason Spitz a call? You're always saying how funny he is. Why don't youask him to do something?Sandy: Yeah, yeah... I don't know. I mean, it's a little weird for a guy to ask another guy to do something right out of the blue likethat.Kirsten: Since when is Sandy Cohen afraid of acting weird?Sandy: Well, Spitz is pretty funny. He's allegedly a scratch golfer. He likes the Dodgers. I couldlive with that.Kirsten: It sounds perfect for you.Sandy: Yeah, but what am I going to do? I'm going to give him a call or what? Ask him out?Kirsten: Come on.Why don't you use some of that Sandy Cohen charm? I'm sure he won't be able to resist.Sandy: It's been a long time since I been out there, honey. What ifSpitzy doesn't like me?Kirsten: Are you calling him Spitzy now?Sandy: No, not yet. Do you think he'll go for it? At Roberts'Julie: Well, that's very generous of you.Thank you, Neil. Bye.Kaitlin: So how's Seattle? Is that short, sassy lady still bossing Dr. Roberts around the hospital?Julie: Neil is fine. He's going to let us stay inthe house as long as we want.Kaitlin: Well, nice work, Mom.Julie: I wish I could take all the credit, but it was actually Neil's idea. He's really very sweet.Kaitlin:Oh, you miss him. Well, don't worry. We'll find you another old dude to pay for all your stuff and cheat on you.Julie: Is that what I'm teaching you?Kaitlin: Mm,pretty much.Julie: Well, no more. Now that we have our housing situation handled, I am officially giving up men. Good one.Kaitlin: That'll last a week, max.Julie:I'll take that wager, young lady. And I'll make one with you. I will not so much as bat an eyelash at a man, and you will stay out of trouble.Kaitlin: You cannot livewithout a man. not even for a week.Taylor: Morning, roomies Anyone want a protein scramble?Julie: Nice to see you're making yourself at home, Taylor.Taylor:Well, thanks for making me feel at home, Jules. Summer's room is just adorable. And I don't know how I ever lived without a home gym.Kaitlin: Oh, this came foryou today. Who's Henry Michael?Taylor: Uh... Oh, Henri Michel?

Oh, that's my French husband. Um, he's coming to Newport and I know he's going to try and talk me out of it, and I couldreally use you there.Ryan: No.Taylor: I'm afraid to be alone with him. I'm afraid of his sensual powers. Ryan, the man is a sexual Jedi. Whatever he asks you todo, you just do it. It doesn't matter how depraved...Ryan: Okay, some people are trying to eat here, including me someday, so...Taylor: Ryan, please. If I goalone, I'll be back in France next week.

It's, uh... it's Dylan. The guy's a genius. Look, Summer, if you've found your place in this world, I am nothing but happy for you.Seth: Hey. I putsome cream in your coffee.

I don't like this show anymore. All they do is create fake problems for fake people just to distract viewers from the real problems in theworld.Seth: Well, I don't think the network would go for a sexy teen soap set in the Damascus, but we can turn it off if you want. I just thought you likedit.Summer: I'm just distracted. I haven't been keeping up on how much blow Lindsay Lohan's doing. And did you hear about JT and Cameron?Seth: No,what?Summer: I don't know. That is the point. I'm going to go get one of my magazines.Seth: That sounds like the old Summer. I'm going to stay here and, uh,keep watching.

Ana and Sydney start memorizing it, saying out loud. Theacid starts covering the piece of paper. The sheet disintegrates.

No, no, no, no, you give them exactly what--SYDNEY: I'm not giving them the right sequence! There is no way, forget it!VAUGHN:Sydney, listen to me! This is critical! Sydney, you give them the number. That's an order.SYDNEY: An order?VAUGHN: Yes.SYDNEY: We have to have a long talkwhen I get back to Los Angeles!(Sydney runs up to the SD-6 van and crawls in.)SYDNEY: Dixon, I've got the code! 0-1-0-0-0-1-1-0-0--(In the K-Directorate van,Ana tells the code to her agents.)ANA: Null, adin, null, adin--(Sydney and the agents in the van, Dixon takes it down.)SYDNEY: 1-0-0-0-1-1-0-0-1-1-1.

That's it. 1-1-0-1.DIXON: You did good.(InLos Angeles, inside a yellow parked van. Sydney, Vaughn and Weiss.)SYDNEY: You do NOT give me orders!VAUGHN: Maybe I do--SYDNEY: I could have easilymisled SD-6--VAUGHN: You're not thinking this through!SYDNEY: ...That's what I'm here for!VAUGHN: Just stop talking for a second! If you'd given SD-6 a boguscode, what would have happened when Ana gave K-Directorate the correct sequence?SYDNEY: Who cares? They would have thought I made a mistake!VAUGHN:Oh, and what, that Ana didn't? She would've given them the correct code, they would have seen the code indicate at Athens, K-Directorate would head there,SD-6 would have nothing. They would suspect you. Sydney, we have to be very careful here. We have to be wildly, crazy careful. If SD-6 suspects you in theleast, it's over.SYDNEY: Ana's been the enemy for three years. In Berlin I realized she wants SD-6 to burn almost as much as I do.VAUGHN: As far as the C.I.A.'sconcerned, the only thing worse than SD-6 getting its hands on critical information is if K-Directorate gets it first. Ana is still your enemy.(Credit Dauphine. Sloaneand Russett walk together.)SLOANE: You're not into mysticism, are you?RUSSETT: Mysticism.SLOANE: Neither am I. But keep an open mind, it'll help. The codewas written in 1489. The guy who wrote it was some sort of Nostradamus. His name was Milo Rambaldi.RUSSETT: This binary was witten by a fifteenth centuryfortuneteller. How come I've never heard of him?SLOANE: His designs were so advanced, they just assumed he was insane. On some of his drawings, he madelists of part numbers. I.D. numbers of actual technology not manufactured until now. This year. It's real, it's a hunt. This man spent the last ten years of his lifeworking on one project. We don't know whether it's a weapon, a fuel source, a transportation system. Based on the little we do know, its technology is beyondanything we have ever seen. How's your wife? I forgot to ask.RUSSETT: Uh, good. Yours?SLOANE: Actually, Emily's a bit under the weather. Thanks for asking.Come on.(They enter the board room where Marshall and Sydney sit.)SLOANE: Did you read the report?SYDNEY: They found nothing.SLOANE: This is AnthonyRussett, he's transferring here from Jennings. He's working on the UCO file. You've already met Marshall. This is Sydney Bristow.RUSSETT: I know yourfather.SLOANE: We read the code you recovered. Accordingly, we sent a team to Athens. So, I just got a phone call from SD-3, he said there was no evidence toanything pertaining to Rambaldi. And we were there first. Turns out, we made a giant mistake. But so did K-Directorate.MARSHALL: In our rush to decipher theRambaldi enigma, we misinterpreted the code. It left us with two series of digits. We assumed longitude and latitude. But he was using a compression scheme. Ishould have seen that. Instead of sending a team to Athens, we should have been headed to Malaga, Spain.SLOANE: Which is where you're going. There's afive-hundred-year-old church sitting on the exact site of Rambaldi's coordinates.SYDNEY: What am I looking for?SLOANE: We don't know. The only clue we have,if it is indeed a clue, are two words that were part of a code: Sol d'oro.RUSSETT: Golden sun.(Malaga, Spain. Sydney shines a flashlight in the church, she looksover the pews for the clue. She looks around, turns to see the painted glass window at the back of the church. In the center is a golden sun. Sydney takes a deskand stands on top if it. She touches the golden sun and unscrews its center. The golden circle is the clue. She looks at it in her hands, and jumps down. Ana, frombehind her, takes her by the throat and snatches the golden sun away from her.)ANA: I was hoping you'd come.(Sydney kicks Ana and Ana's gun goes slidingdown the floor. Sydney punches her, roundhouse kicks. Ana drops the sun. Sydney flips Ana and dives behind a pew while Ana fires her gun at the pews,destroying many of them. Sydney flinches while on the floor, covering her head. She sees the sun lying nearby. Ana slinks closer with her gun in hand. She seesthe sun, bends down and gets it. Sydney comes up from behind and hits her on the head with a wooden post with religious markings on it. The gun flies. Anagrabs a long candle stick holder and slaps Sydney in the head with it. Sydney lands on her back on a table. Sydney grabs Ana's hand and holds it above all thecandles that are lit. Ana snatches her hand away, yelping in pain. Sydney quickly moves and handcuffs Ana's hand to the table post. She struggles like a cagedanimal. Sydney takes the sun, and walks out.)(In Sydney's house, Sydney and Francie sit on the sofa eating Chinese food. Sydney holds the matchbook, lookingat it.)SYDNEY: You haven't said anything to Charlie?FRANCIE: I needed to talk to you first.SYDNEY: It's just a matchbook with someone's number.FRANCIE:Yeah, someone named Rachel who \"truly loved tonight.\"SYDNEY: You have to ask Charlie about it.FRANCIE: Yeah.SYDNEY: I mean, what else are you going todo?FRANCIE: Have you ever spied on anyone? Okay, I know it's totally beneath me, but Charlie has been so distant lately, and every time I ask him what'swrong, he's like, \"Nothing, baby. Everything's cool. It's all fine.\"SYDNEY: You don't believe him.FRANCIE: He has law review in an hour.SYDNEY: You want tofollow hm.FRANCIE: So much, I cannot even tell you.SYDNEY: I think spying on your boyfriend generally sets a bad relationship precedent.FRANCIE: What if he'scheating on me?(Across the street from Francie and Charlie's house, Sydney and Francie sit in Sydney's vehicle. Francie eats some candy.)FRANCIE: You're areally good friend, you know that?SYDNEY: Yes, I do. (smiles) So, this thing happened with Will the other night.FRANCIE: What, did he come on to you?SYDNEY:No, no. I kissed him.FRANCIE: What? You kissed Will Tippin? Are you kidding me?SYDNEY: I know. Stop it. We were in the apartment by ourselves after you andCharlie left and we had all those drinks...FRANCIE: I don't believe it. You must have been really drunk. Hey, there he is. Start the car, start the car.SYDNEY: No,you wait 'til he's a block away.FRANCIE: Look at you getting all into it.SYDNEY: Everyone knows you wait.FRANCIE: I don't know you wait.SYDNEY: Youwait.FRANCIE: What's he doing?(A car pulls up beside Charlie, its horn honking. Charlie walks over to the driver's side. A blonde woman gets out, and hugs him.They kiss briefly. Sydney looks at Francie. Charlie puts his duffel bag in the girl's trunk. Francie looks devastated.)FRANCIE: Okay. I guess he's not going to lawreview.(Will's office. He's on the phone, sitting at his desk. Jenny stands nearby.)WILL: H-E-C-H-T. You're certain? Okay. Thank you. I promise, I won't call again.(hangs up) Danny was supposed to be registered at a medical conference in Singapore.JENNY: You already told me. Litvack wants the baptist church copy.WILL:But I checked all the conferences twice.

(BOOTH opens the hood of the car and notices a diaper bag in the back seat.)Crushed manubrium; massive skull trauma. (BABY ANDY cries and BOOTH looks up quickly as BRENNAN continues her examination) I'm not certain yet whethershe died in the accident or the fire-BOOTH: Ssssh! You hear that? (The SHERIFF and BRENNAN listen) Everybody! Keep quiet! Stop workin'! (To Brennan) Did youhear that?BRENNAN: Sounds like a cat. (They all look around.)BOOTH: A baby. (He looks up. The camera looks down on BOOTH and BRENNAN from the treetops.Pan across to reveal BABY ANDY in a car-seat, lodged in the branches.DELPY: Holy crap.BOOTH: Get a ladder down here now!FIREMAN: All right, let's move!(Cutto DELPY and EMERGENCY WORKER holding BABY ANDY as they walk alongside the emergency vehicles to BOOTH and BRENNAN)DELPY: There's not even ascratch on the boy. It's a miracle.BRENNAN: Well, hardly! Car-seats are specifically engineered to protect the child.BOOTH: From what? Flying out the back of acar and landing in a tree? (BABY ANDY squawks) Oh, look at him, Bones. He looks a little fussy there. Why don't you pick him up and give him acuddle?BRENNAN: What? Just because I have breasts doesn't mean that I have magical powers over infants. You're the one with the son.BOOTH: All right, fine.I'll take him. Here you go. (He hands her the diaper bag.) You have fun with the diaper bag. You look good. (he takes BABY ANDY) Come on, little man! Whoa-ho.Hi! Why don't you say hi to your grumpy old Auntie Bones.BRENNAN: No! I am not grumpy! (To the SHERIFF) The-the vinyl seat melted and fused to the body sowe need that brought back to the Jeffersonian. And the driver's door for particulate evidence.DELPY: (Sniffing) The kid smells a little ripe. Might want to take careof that.BOOTH: Ye-eah. (He sighs) Okay, Bones, I'm gonna have to change him. Just hold on to him here (holding BABY ANDY out for Bones to take). Here yougo. Here you go. Okay? Got him?BRENNAN: What? Oh! Woah! Arrrgh.BOOTH: Okay. Here we go. (Taking off his suit jacket) We'll work together on this one. (Helays his suit jacket on the wide back step of a fire truck) Changin' Diapers 101. ( BRENNAN passes him BABY ANDY) Here we go. Here we go, little big man. Okay.watch your-Here. Right here. Look at that. All right. Get me a diaper there, Bones.BRENNAN: Right. There you go.BOOTH: Thanks. Baby powder.BRENNAN: Youknow, Booth, I have better things to do with my time. (She looks through the bag) There's no powder.BOOTH: No powder?BRENNAN: Yeah. Hey. Wait a minute.(She pulls a key from the bag and shows it to BOOTH.)BOOTH: Where'd that come from?BRENNAN: There's a rip in the lining of the bag. Seems like someone wastrying to hide it.BOOTH: Okay. I'll get an evidence bag and I'll ask EMT if they have any baby powder. Just watch him. (He jogs away.)BRENNAN: Wait. Wait.Wait! Booth. There's a baby! I don't feel comforta-. (She trails off, exasperated. BABY ANDY gurgles.) Coochie-coo? (BABY ANDY cries.) Oh! No no! No need tofuss! Obviously something is upsetting you. Children have toys; you must have some. Let me see. (She rummages in the bag, retrieving a purple stuffedelephant.) You know, elephants are not purple. This is wrong. ( BABY ANDY cries. BRENNAN sighs). Hey, look at that: he flipped over!BOOTH: Bones! That'sbecause you gotta *watch* him. Jeez. Woah. Okay, look, little big man. If you're gonna be in my jacket, we gotta get you out of that diaper. Woah. Okay,where's the key?BRENNAN: I put it on your jacket.BOOTH: Next to the baby?BRENNAN: Yeah.BOOTH: Are you crazy? Do you know that babies put everything intheir mouth, Bones? He could have swallowed the key! It's so dangerous. All right. Okay. ( He picks up the BABY ANDY whilst BRENNAN looks for the key) Shhshh shh shh. The *key*, Bones. look for the key.BRENNAN: It's not here. Oh, no. He must've... swallowed it.BOOTH: (In synchrony) Swallowed it. (BABY ANDYcries.) Okay. (BOOTH hands BABY ANDY to BRENNAN) Here you go. Get used to him.BRENNAN: What do you mean?BOOTH: That key was evidence. You knowhow chain of custody works. That kid stays with us until we get the key back.(BRENNAN looks at him. BABY ANDY pees down her leg,)BRENNAN: Ugh.Argh.BOOTH: (Takes the still-peeing BABY ANDY.) Wooh. That's a stream.TITLES.ACT ONE.(Open: Medico-Legal-Lab. CAM, ANGELA and ZACK stand in a linelooking down at something offscreen.)ANGELA: I have never seen anything so gorgeous on this table before.CAM: Or so alive!(Camera looks down from above atZACK, ANGELA and CAM standing along one side of an examination table. BABY ANDY lies on it, laid on a piece of cloth and burbling happily.)ZACK: Why is DoctorBrennan the official custodian?ANGELA: She's registered as a foster parent. Russ asked her to do it after he began his prison term.CAM: Russ wants to make surehis step-daughters are taken care of if anything happens to Amy.ZACK: Prodigious saliva production.HODGINS: (Walking into shot carrying a security swipe-wandmetal detector.) Okay. Now we can determine if the little guy really *did* swallow the key, or if he has been falsely accused. (HODGINS passes the wand overBABY ANDY. The wand squeals as it passes over BABY ANDY's abdomen.)CAM: Well, unless he's already had a hip replacement, it sounds like there's a key inthere.ANGELA: He liked it! Do it again. (HODGINS wiggles the wand over BABY ANDY, who chuckles and squirms.)BRENNAN: What are you doing?HODGINS:(Grinning) We were just- (He sees BRENNAN'S expression and becomes serious.) We verified that the baby did indeed swallow the key.BRENNAN: Then youshould X-Ray him to get a clean view. He's not a plaything. (To Zack.) And you're supposed to be examining the victim.ANGELA: We thought it would be bad formto examine the remains in front of the baby. You know, creepy formative memory?BRENNAN: Then would you mind taking him for a little while so that we canwork?ANGELA: I'd love to. (She gathers up BABY ANDY, smiling. ANGELA looks at HODGINS. who laughs indulgently.) Get used to it. I want, like, a million ofthese.HODGINS: Cool. (Angela carries BABY ANDY away. HODGINS to CAM) What do you think she meant by \"a million\"? Two?(Scene: Booth's Office. BOOTH islooking through some photographs. AGENT CHARLIE BURNS knocks on his door.CHARLIE: Agent Booth?BOOTH: Yeah?CHARLIE: Got a hit on your burned car. Itwas registered to a dead guy.BOOTH: A dead woman driving a dead man's car.CHARLIE: Plates expired five years ago. Dead guy's family said they sold the carfor scrap to a junkyard in Seneca Rocks, West Virginia.BOOTH: Let me guess: junkyard guy sells off the old heaps to people who wanna get off the grid.CHARLIE:He used to. Operation got shut down two years ago. No one's seen him since.BOOTH: Let me know if forensics finds anything to help Bones id. theremains.CHARLIE: (Nods.) Is it true that Doctor Brennan's taking care of the baby? Because that's something I'd pay to see.BOOTH: (Studying his photographs.)Goodbye, Charlie.(Medico-Legal Lab-forensics platform.)ZACK: The victim exhibits enlarged hypertrophic lesions and multiple muscle attachments.BRENNAN: Theresult of strenuous activity, most likely occupational.CAM: The ligamenta flava shows evidence of whiplash. All the para-mortem injuries are consistent withvehicular trauma. She was dead prior to immolation.BRENNAN: Zack, grind some bones so Hodgins can perform an isotope analysis. We might be able to figureout where she lived.ANGELA: (Walking in to the room) Junior made us a little present.BRENNAN: The key. Finally.ANGELA: Not yet. This is just the usual present,but with one major difference. (Angela opens the diaper she is holding to show a pink-soaked seat.)ZACK: I assume pink isn't a normal color for this type ofthing.CAM: Does yours ever look pink?ZACK: No, but I'm not an infant.BRENNAN: Where is the baby?ANGELA: Asleep in your office. I was gonna start the facialreconstruction, so...BRENNAN: He's my charge; I'll sit with him.CAM: (Picking up the diaper.) Let me run some tests. See what I can find.ZACK: Actually, onetime when I was visiting my cousins, we ate a lot of beets, and the next day-CAM: Zack, really. Too much sharing.(Cut to BRENNAN and BOOTH walking aroundthe Medico-Legal Lab Floor)BOOTH: You know, you look very mom-like with that baby monitor.BRENNAN: I have a responsibility under state law as a fosterparent. I've already bought him toys and clothes.BOOTH: Ah, so you've bought him some clothes?BRENNAN: Well, I sent an intern, who apparently loves bears,which in reality would devour a small child.(BRENNAN and BOOTH round the corner to meet HODGINS at the base of the Forensics Platform)HODGINS: I testedthe ground bone for strontium.BRENNAN: Strontium is an element found in most rocks.HODGINS: Human beings absorb it through the consumption of localvegetation and water. (He brings up a map on his computer) Over time, the isotope collects in the bones, meaning-BOOTH: You could use it to figure out where"}

I say we, but let's face it, I did most of the work, and Mr. Hunter won't let me do it the way I want.RORY: The panelists are up there. We sitacross from them and ask questions. What's the problem?PARIS: It's boring and predictable and done to death. I wanted Charlie Rose.RORY: To ask thequestions?PARIS: His style. I wanted us sitting at a round table with black backdrops.RORY: But the audience won't be able to see anything.PARIS: I was workingwith the losers in the AV club to project it on a giant video screen. And all Mr. Hunter said was, \"Paris, this isn't the Beatles at Shea Stadium.\" Nice anachronism,huh? Like they had video screens in sixty-three. His references are as topical as his suits.MR. HUNTER: [on stage] Ladies and gentlemen, can I have yourattention please? We can get this seminar started. I'd like to bring up the organizers of this little event, Paris Gellar and Rory Gilmore.[There are two tables on thestage. A man and a woman are seated at one of them; Rory and Paris walk on stage and sit at the other]PARIS: Thank you, Mr. Hunter. Everybody, this is aseminar called \"The Business of Getting In.\" Its goal is to help guide us through the torturous process of applying to, and getting into, the right college.

Welcome, panel.RORY: Yes,welcome.PARIS: Now, panel, you're addressing a group of kids just beginning the stressful process of applying to college. Question \u0000 what is the biggest mistakea person can make on his or her application? Mr. Romaine?MR. ROMAINE: Well, forgetting to send it in would be the worst mistake, but perfunctory answerswould be high on my list.PARIS: Explain.MR. ROMAINE: I'm talking about run of the mill responses, a lack of originality, particularly in the essay category. If Iread one more over-adulating piece of prose about Hillary Clinton and her profound influence, my head will explode.MS. SAMUELS: I hear that. Sometimes amistake like that comes from writing what one thinks an admission officer wants to read.MR. ROMAINE: Big mistake.MS. SAMUELS: And sometimes it's just a lackof original thought.MR. ROMAINE: Just as big a mistake.PARIS: Personal anecdote \u0000 when I was twelve and I was writing the first of my trial essays in practicefor the day I'd write my real essay, I chose Hillary Clinton. Then I realized every braindead bint in a skirt would be writing about Hillary, but it was good to clear"}

That was really good.Frasier: Just a matter of confidence, Niles.[SMASH CUT TO - Frasier's apartment, later that night. Frasier comes in the front,struggling with his new bike and muttering. Niles is behind him.]Niles: All a matter of confidence, he says.[Frasier turns the lights on to reveal that they arecovered with scratches and bruises.]Frasier: Yes, well perhaps two people who don't know how to ride bikes shouldn't try to teach each other.Niles: A goodteacher doesn't yell at his student.Frasier: Nor does a good teacher throw a stick at his student![Niles clutches his knee.]Niles: I thought it would make you tryharder.Frasier: Oh, you're going to make a hell of a dad!Niles: Oh, what are we going to do?Frasier: Let's not panic. We still have two days before theBike-A-Thon. Surely the library has shelves devoted to this topic.Niles: I don't have time for that! Daphne wants to go biking tomorrow afternoon.Frasier: Well,then you're just going to have to tell her that you don't know how to ride.Niles: I can't! It's too late! If I was going to do that, I should have done it at the bikestore. But NOOO! You, YOU said we could teach ourselves! You said no one would be the wiser![As he continues to shout, Frasier makes calminggestures.]Frasier: Niles...Niles: \"Two bouncy tires and a taut chain\" you said!Frasier: Niles...Niles: And now look! My spokes are bent, my pants are stuck, andthere's blood on the headlight, and blood everywhere...[He breaks down as Frasier tries to comfort him.]Frasier: Niles, that wasn't your fault. That jogger shouldhave been wearing a reflective vest. Come on. Come and sit down. I'm going to get you a nice sherry.[He heads for the sherry. Niles tries to move, but his pantsare still stuck in the chain so he carries the bike with him. Fade out.]Act 2 Scene 1 - Cafe Nervosa[Fade in. Niles is sitting at a table, Frasier is getting coffee atthe counter. Roz comes up behind him.]Roz: Hi, Frasier.Frasier: Oh, hi Roz. You're welcome to join me and Niles.Roz: Oh, I can't. I'm on my way to meet Aliceand her sitter. Alice wants to practice riding her bicycle for Saturday.Frasier: Really?Roz: Mm-hm, she loves it. I mean, she had that bike one day before shemade me take her training wheels off.Frasier: Tell me, does she ever find that she feels as though her feet are frozen to the pedals? Stuck in a confused,arrhythmic battle between forward and reverse, until finally, with no locomotive momentum whatsoever, she keels over like a felled tree?Roz: I don't thinkso.Frasier: Well good, good. Because... that's a real thing that happens to some kids.[He sits down with Niles as Roz steps to the counter. Daphne and Gertrudecome in.]Daphne: Hey, Frasier.Frasier: Oh, hello Daphne, Mrs. Moon.[They all say hello to each other as the ladies sit.]Daphne: I'm afraid I have some badnews.Niles: What is it?Daphne: Someone stole our new bikes.Niles: My God, are you sure? [to waiter] Can I get a refill? That's terrible.Frasier: You know, that'scurious. Niles, didn't that salesman say nothing could break those titanium locks?Niles: You're right. I must not have locked them properly. FoolishNiles.Gertrude: You know, I spotted a couple of bikes in the storage room, behind the furnace. Perhaps you could borrow those.Niles: No, I don't think so.

'Cause I'll do it.Olivia: No.Fitz: You left me. I was unhappy. She was there. One time. I-- I made a mistake.Olivia: I don't want to talk about it. Youcheated on your mistress with your girlfriend. Let's just leave it at that.Fitz: She wasn't my girlfriend. Don't you ever call yourself a mistress. We both knowbetter.Olivia: Why are you here?Fitz: Cyrus got this in the mail a week ago. It's a s*x tape. I'm on it. I need you to hear it.Olivia: I definitely don't want to hearyou and Amanda Tanner having s*x.Fitz: Olivia. I need you to listen to this.[SCENE_BREAK]GRANT CAMPAIGN HEADQUARTERSFitz: Well, there's no way tosugarcoat it. We got our ass handed to us by Sally Langston in Iowa last night. So, anyone have any great ideas? Anyone?Jeannine: We have to swing fartherright. We haven't said a thing about gay marriage, school prayer-Fitz: Oh, come on. It's not our stances on the issues. We are not getting our message out there.People don't know where I stand. The problem is--Olivia: Your marriage. It looks like you don't screw your wife Which would be fine, except that family valuesmatter to Republicans. It's why they vote for who they vote for. And since Sally's got Jesus firmly on her side, that just leaves family. Marriage. And yours,whatever the truth may be from the outside, it looks cold, distant, dead. Where is your wife, by the way? People want to like who they're voting for. Votersthought Al Gore was a big stiff until he stuck his tongue down Tipper's throat. They put George W. in office because he and Laura seemed like a fun couple tohave a beer with. People have to want to invite you in for dinner; and right now, you and your wife are standing in their doorway, not looking at each other,letting in the cold air. That's why you lost Iowa. It's why you'll lose New Hampshire.Fitz: And you are?Olivia: Olivia. Pope.Fitz: Fire her.Cyrus: Ah, she's great,right? A pistol. Lives for her work, a political nun, best student I ever had.Fitz: Fire her.Cyrus: 'Cause she said what every staffer on your campaign was afraid tosay?Fitz: Just get rid of her.Olivia: I'll charge my hotel room to the campaign. Don't worry. I haven't had a chance to raid the hotel minibar. Liv best of luck,Governor.Cyrus: Let's be clear about something. I run a sausage factory.Fitz: Which makes me ... sausage?Cyrus: Handsome, highly qualified, smart, idealistic,and energetic sausage. The stump, the electrifying speeches, the baby kissing that's all you. The nitty-gritty, morally bankrupt, back-alley-brawling rest of thegame, that's me. It's filthy and thankless, and it's my hallelujah, heroin, and reason to breathe. And you, you don't have half the stomach for it, so you go andyou make nice with Olivia Pope. Get her back, or you can find another sausage maker.Fitz: Ms.Pope? Ms. Pope, wait. I, I apologize for firing you.Olivia: Why?Fitz:Why do I apologize?Olivia: Why did you fire me? I had a job, a paying job, from which I took a leave of absence to do a favor for my friend Cyrus because I amgood. I am brilliant. I would eat, breathe, and live Fitzgerald Grant every minute of every day. You would be lucky to have me. Just because you don't like hearingthe truth about yourself-Fitz: I loved hearing what you had to say. I agree with every word. Very astute. And you're right. I would be lucky to have you. Look...Olivia: This is why you fired me ...Fitz: Can we just...?Olivia: Go back in there and work.Fitz: Okay.Olivia: Okay.[SCENE_BREAK]PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGNPANCAKE BREAKFAST / OLIVIA POPE'S APARTMENTFitz: Oh, it's perfect to meet you.

And these shoes aren't made for walking. They are made for getting me laid,specifically, they are for the very hot bartender at the Black Cat, where I would be having a drink right now if I didn't happen to work for an obsessive-compulsiveslave driver who makes me fetch him dinner at 10:30 on a Thursday night.David: You know, if you spent less time at the Black Cat and more time studying forthe bar exam, you wouldn't be fetching your boss anything because at law firms, they have assistants for that.Alissa: Lots of lawyers fail the bar.David: Alllawyers pass the bar. That's what makes them lawyers. Alissa, eat something. We have a murder to solve.Alissa: No, we don't.

Worked as anaide at the Grant White House till just a couple weeks ago when she abruptly resigned and botched a suicide attempt. Then she becomes a client of Olivia Pope's,and we pull her dead body out of the river. Don't you find that interesting? Well, pretend you do, for me. Now if you did happen to find any of this remotelyfascinating, incongruous, intriguing, worthy of our time, what's the first question you might ask about Amanda Tanner?Alissa: Well, um, who in the White Housewould want her dead?[SCENE_BREAK]PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN STOPMellie: You canceled all our events for the next two days?

I can'tpossibly cancel that.Olivia: That's why I canceled it for you.Mellie: Maybe I'm dense, but I have to confess, I don't really know what you want from us.Olivia: Firstoff, I'd like you to actually talk to each other.Mellie: We talk all the time, Ms. Pope. Not to each other, you don't. House parties, town hall meetings, baseballgames you barely look at each other.Mellie: Fine. We will add a couple of events to the schedule where we are together.Olivia: That won't do it. You two need tobe a couple. A believable, loving, dedicated couple. Or you might as we throw it in right now. Why don't we give you two a moment?Fitz: Why are you fightingthis? It's what you wanted. It's what you've always wanted.Mellie: What I wanted? You are the one running for President.Fitz: Oh, please, like you're not runningfor First Lady? You're dying to get into that White House. You're practically redecorating already.Mellie: Okay, there it is. I am the ambitious monster. I'm the IronLady. I have done everything for you! I have sacrificed my career for you. I have had kids for you. There is not a single thing in my life I have not given up sothat you could be President!Fitz: I never asked you for any of that.Mellie: And all I get in turn is this perpetual resentment!Fitz: So what would you prefer? That Iignore you? That we don't talk at all? 'Cause that's pretty much how it's been the past few years, and that's worked okay.Mellie: Now you're just beingjuvenile.Fitz: Look, we BOTH know...Cyrus: This is why they don't talk to each other.Fitz: No ... 'Cause you're afraid it would get out and kill us politically.Mellie:If they found out, we'd be dead in the water!Fitz: Fine! Then if living on Pennsylvania Avenue is that important to you, we better suck it up and start acting likethis isn't a dead marriage![SCENE_BREAK]OUTSIDE PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN STOPJames: Governor, you're 5 points down in New Hampshire. Taking time outfrom the primary for a parent-teacher conference isn't that a little risky?Fitz: If it's a choice between losing touch with your family and losing a primary. That's notreally a choice, is it?[SCENE_BREAK]PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY PREPARATIONOlivia: You can't wear this tie on morning TV.Fitz: What?Olivia: It's too distracting.Take it off.

Who in the holy hell is running thatcampaign?Billy: As far as I know, they haven't made any official changes.Sally: Oh, yeah? That is a big, old pile of dung, Billy Chambers, and you know it. That isnot the Fitzgerald Grant I ran against in Iowa. That is a candidate, Billy. A down-home, charming, red-blooded candidate who's stealing my votes. Hell, I'mhalfway to voting for him. Now I want to find out who's responsible so we can see what we're dealing with here.Billy: I'm on it.Sally: Billy, it is not in God's planthat I lose New Hampshire.Billy: Senator, I promise you, we will not lose New Hampshire.[SCENE_BREAK]GRANT CAMPAIGN STOP (NEW HAMPSHIRE)Fitz: I'm alittle superstitious, so we're not gonna have any victory speeches until tomorrow night, after everyone's voted.

That is so awful, and not at allmotivational.Marshall: Not necessarily. Okay, at first, I was appalled, but then I realized it's just like Dr. Aurelia Birnholz-Vasquez in Life Among the Gorillas. Ihave to gain the acceptance of the herd by behaving exactly like one of them. It's an anthropological study. Isn't that cool?Lily: It sounds kinda like peerpressure.Marshall: No, no, no. It's totally anthropological and it's cool and I'm doing it.Lily: Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's peer pressure. We have an assembly everyyear.Marshall: I'm portraying someone who succumbs to peer pressure.Lily: All right, but if those guys try to pressure you to smoke, what do you say?Marshall:Only when I'm drunk.Lily: Good boy.Ted from 2030: And so, to fit in with the gorillas, Marshall had to learn to act like a gorilla, and that meant gorilla lessons.TheBarBarney: Okay, I'm psyched about this. But if I'm going to mentor you, I need to know you're psyched about this, too.Marshall: Oh, I am. I'm, I'mpsyched.Barney: Yeah, but it's one thing to say it, it's another thing to show it. Show it.Marshall: I'm psyched!Barney: What was that? Marshall, I should feeltremors of psychitude rock my body like a seizure. That was like a declawed pregnant cat on a porch swing idly swatting at a fly on a lazy Sundayafternoon.Marshall: Wow, that was really specific.Barney: Show me you're psyched! Let's do this! Ow! That hurt!Marshall: So badly.Barney: And then you slip itto the guy with a discreet handshake and he'll get it done.Marshall: Right. Get what done?Barney: Whatever.Marshall: Cool.

Put on pants.Lina: Right.AJ: Pants are for losers. You're wearing pants right now, dude.Lina: Yeah.AJ: Not up here.Shepard: Right. No, it's onventura. No, but come around the back. Right.

It's gonna sound really, really good.Jess: Do you know that when youwork, it makes me so hot?Shepard: Really? How hot?Jess: Well, let's say probably about doggy-style hot. I-I don't want to put on the knee brace.Jess: Uh-huh.'Cause it pulls. You know, it's not... All right, doggy it is.Didi: Bowman?Russ: Hey.Didi: You have a co-pay of $550.Russ: Sounds right.Didi: You need to payit.Russ: Totally.Didi: Today.Russ: Oh. I don't... I don't have that kind of cash on me.Didi: Oh, we take credit cards.Russ: Well, I have the cards, but... not thecredit. You're going to have to pay the balance of this procedure.Russ: Yeah, I'll pay it. Just not today.Didi: Let's reschedule, then. We'll get something on thebooks after the payment is all squared away.Russ: All right. Have a great day.Child: My name is Albert Einstein and I was born in Germany in 1879. I developedthe theory of relativity.Russ (Whispering): Look, it's not my fault, okay? We tried. It's over.Lina: Seriously? What is wrong with you?Russ: I'm invisible?Lina:Here's what you're going to do. You're gonna go back in that office, and write down that woman's name and scare the sh1t out of her.Russ: How? Tell her thatyour wife already sent the check and if they don't see you right away, that you're gonna stop payment on it and let it go to collections. Tell her that.Russ: You'regetting pretty good at this.Lina: No, being broke makes you crafty.Russ: So then why don't you come with me and then you can do the talking.Lina: I can't. Ihave to take the baby stuff today.Russ: Come on. I... Don't make me go back to that cock-butcher.Father: You guys want to take this outside?Russ: I'm sorry.We're so sorry.Lina (Whispers): Sorry.Russ: Your son looks great.Lina: It's his daughter.Russ: It's your daughter.

Uh, it turns out my wife already sentthe check. Really?Russ: But if I don't see the doctor right now, we're gonna cancel the payment. And then it will go to collections, Didi. And they will call us and Iwill be forced to mention your name. Didi. So you'd better polish your résumé. Because you'll get fired.Didi: Why would I get fired?Russ: Because they'll call. Andthey'll know. I don't know. I... it made sense when my wife said it. I just need to see the doctor right now, okay? Hello? Didi... please? Oh, what am I, invisiblenow?Doctor: Who says you're invisible? I see you standing right there, Mr. Bowman.Russ: Thank you, doctor.(Didi sighs)Lina: Bye-bye, baby sh1t. (Grunts)Hi.Whew. Lot of memories here.Employee: Okay, you just have to estimate how much this stuff cost you.Lina: Um... my youth. Every time I cough, I pee alittle.Employee: I'll write down \"$50.\"Lina: Can I ask you a question? Who gets this stuff?Employee: Regular people. People who need it.Lina: Do you think that Icould meet the person who gets my stuff? I'd love to put a face with a, you know...Employee: Doesn't really work like that. (Gasps)Lina: I think I'm gonna need aminute.Shepard: She'll be here soon. Well, how long do you have the studio?Shepard: I'm... by the hour.Jess (Chuckling): Okay.Shepard: So whenever she getshere, we'll... that's when we'll go. (Phone rings) Oh, hey, could be her.

So I said, \"hey, what are you,pregnant?\" Guess what.Jess: No. She's pregnant?Shepard: She's pregnant. She and her boyfriend are gonna take the kid. They're gonna raise the kid in Iowa. Sothey're going to Iowa.Jess: That's gonna ruin her career.Shepard: What do you want me to do?Jess: Oh, my God, you know what you need to do.Shepard: No, Idon't.

It'sover.Jess: Don't just do that.Shepard: Now it's over.Jess: Tell her about Liz Phair's abortion. I don't know what you're saying now. Tell her that right before LizPhair was, like, about to break out, she got pregnant, but then you talked about it, and you arranged for her to get an abortion, and then nine monthslater...(Blows raspberry) You know, she's a hit instead of a mother. (Chuckles)Shepard: That never happened.Jess: That-that... just, PJ Harvey then, if thatmakes more sense to you.I never met PJ Harvey, none of...Jess: She probably doesn't even know who that is, either. She'll be embarrassed to ask. Okay, what iswrong with you? These... this is crazy.Jess: Nothing is wrong with me.Shepard: There's nothing to say to her. She wants... it's her life. It's her life, so she...Jess:Tell her that having kids is gonna ruin her life. So our little baby boy is ruining your life?Jess: No, he's not ruining my... you're ruining my life.Shepard:Okay.Jess: Don't do this. I know what you're thinking, and that's, you know...Shepard: Really? What am I thinking? You need to do it, do your thing,fine.Shepard: Can I just say, a lot of the sh1t that comes out of your mouth cannot go back in.Jess: You could just get on the phone and just, like, talk to her isall I'm saying.Shepard: You know what?Jess: You could just put in the effort and do that. I'm gonna talk to her, okay. Try-try to not talk now. Do me thatfavor.[SCENE_BREAK]Doctor: Okay, let's see. Mm-hmm. Well, the good news is, the incision healed nicely.

See, we just multiply the diameter by pi.Russ: That's wrong. Father: What about this here? A third of 15.Daughter: Five.Oh, the hell with this. It isn'tgonna work.Father: One-half of 20?Daughter: Uh, ten.Didi: You all set?Russ: No, I haven't even started.

Prue, Piper and Phoebe walk in the kitchen carrying shoppingbags.]Piper: Any day that brings new shoes is a good day.Phoebe: Are you kidding? This was a great day. Yoga, pedicures, shopping, lunch. When have we hadmore fun?Prue: It's nice to bond through something other than vanquishing for a change.Phoebe: Yeah, but I gotta hand it to those pesky little demons. Theysure have brought us closer together.Prue: Maybe you should write them a thank you note.(Prue turns on the TV.)Reporter: Early this morning when anargument between neighbours at a block party turned into a street parole, residents of several apartment buildings...Prue: Ugh.(She turns off the TV.)Piper:Some people are just crazy.Prue: Doesn't it seem like this kind of stuff has been happening a lot here lately?Phoebe: Random social violence is encouraged by ageneral D clan and ethical thinking. Well, according to my sociology professor. He said that we don't think about the big questions enough.Prue: The big questionis how did you stay awake through his class?Phoebe: Not only did I stay awake but I actually enjoyed it. Which is why I bought this book. (She gets a book out ofa bag.) It's filled with really deep profound questions, which would actually make a good bar game at P3.Piper: Oh, great, solve the problems of the world whiledoing Jell-O shots.Phoebe: Okay, let's see if I can find a really good one. (She puts on her glasses and opens up to a page in the book.) Okay, what if a buildingwas on fire? Do you save five strangers or one sibling?Prue: I thought that you said that these were hard questions. That's easy, sibling.Piper: Of course.Phoebe:Ditto. Okay, my turn, my turn.(Phoebe hands Prue the book. The doorbell rings.)Piper: Okay, don't answer anything until I answer that.Phoebe: Okay, fasterthough, faster.(Piper answers the door.)Piper: Hi.Leo: Hi.(They kiss.)Piper: Since when do you ring instead of orb?Leo: Well, I'm just trying to respecteverybody's space since the three of you have been so, uh...(Prue and Phoebe walk in.)Phoebe: Hey, Leo.Leo: Tight these days.Prue: So, um, are you here for allof us?Leo: No, this isn't business. I was just about to invite Piper to an early dinner before her Paula Cole show.Piper: Oh.Leo: Oh, do you have other plans?Piper:Uh, not exactly. We've just been hanging out all day spending some quality non-magic time.Leo: Oh, alright, no problem. Rain check?Prue: Um, Piper, why don'tyou go with Leo? I mean, we're totally cool with it. Pheebs and I will go to the club early, keep an eye on things.Piper: I have a new assistant manager and she'sall checked out so she can take care of things.Phoebe: Still, we'll go and make sure everything's okay. We'll bring the book, maybe stir up some trouble.Prue:How about stirring up some margaritas?Phoebe: Ooh, that's good.(They link arms and walk back in the kitchen.)Piper: So it's a date.Leo: Alright.[Scene: On thestreet. Leo and Piper are in Piper's car. They pull up at a stop sign.]Piper: I didn't mean that I didn't enjoy being with you, all I meant was that Phoebe and Pruewould've enjoyed the restaurant too.(A guy in a car pulls up behind them and starts honking his horn and yelling.)Leo: I wish you were normal sisters, they'renever this close.Piper: And it's a problem that we are?Leo: No. It just seems that sometimes I'm breaking up a great party when I wanna be alone with you.(Theyguy behind them continues honking the horn.)Piper: Leo, I have room for all of you in my life and in my heart.Leo: I still need to know which room's minebecause... (The guy drives around them and speeds around the corner.) Okay.[Cut to the guy. He crashes into a Ute with crates of fruit in the back and the fruitflies out of it onto the road. Piper and Leo pull up.]Piper: Oh, no. (The man that was driving the Ute gets out and storms over to the other guy driving the car. Hepulls him out of the car and they start fighting. Other people try to break up the fight. One guy picks up a watermelon and throws it at Piper's car. It smashes allover the windshield. Piper and Leo get out.) What on earth? (They walk over near the fighting men. The guy throws another watermelon towards Piper and Leobut Piper freezes it before it can hit them. Everyone else freezes except Leo and one of the four horseman is standing near by. The horseman looks aroundconfused. He then sees Piper and Leo and starts running.) Leo?Leo: I see him. (Piper runs after him.) Wait, Piper, you don't know what he is. (Leo runs afterPiper.)[Cut to the horseman. He runs around the corner of a building and suddenly a horse appears. He jumps on the horse and they disappear. Piper and Leo runaround the corner and wonder where he went.][Cut to a field. The four horsemen on horses suddenly appear, galloping along.]Opening Credits[Scene: P3. PaulaCole is singing. Prue and Phoebe are sitting at the bar watching her. The bartender hands back the book to Prue. Paula Cole finishes her song.]Paula: Thank you,P3, you've been great. Thank you.(Piper and Leo walk up to Prue and Phoebe.)Phoebe: Hey, I can't believe you guys missed Paula Cole, she was awesome.Piper:We saw a pretty awesome show ourselves.Prue: I thought that you guys went to dinner.Piper: We did and then for dessert we did a little demon hunting.Prue:What happened?Piper: Well, there was this road rage thing and it was completely out of control, so I froze the entire street except for this a guy in a suit.Leo: Andhe takes off. Your sister doesn't listen to me so we chase him down into an alley. Nothing, he vanished into thin air.Phoebe: Wait, a demon that causes roadrage?Piper: I don't know if he caused it or was attracted by it.Prue: Well, the kind of creature that gets off in that kind of thing would certainly explain why thecity's been such a mess lately. He's probably some lower level mischief maker.Leo: As soon as we figure out who he is and what he wants will be better foreveryone.Piper: Yeah, except for those of us who have to get rid of him.Phoebe: Okay, we can sit around here being pessimistic or we can go to the house andcheck the Book of Shadows.[Scene: A field. The four horsemen are there.]War: What happened?Strife: First of all I wanna let you all know that I was out on thefield and things are looking good. The public is really responding.War: But...Strife: We might have a problem.War: Did you screw up?Strife: No, why would youassume that?Famine: Please don't fight.Death: It's all they know how to do.Strife: A freezing witch saw me. Caught me working.War: A good witch?Strife: Iwould say so. She chased me, I think she thought she could stop me.War: That is a problem.Strife: Fixable. I think we can still move forward with our plan andstill make our deadline.Famine: But the deadline's 7:00 tomorrow night. The source is gonna...War: Find her and kill her.Famine: How are we gonna findher?War: Set a trap. If she's a good witch she'll want to stop us. All we have to do is give her something she'll want to stop.[Scene: Manor. Attic. Phoebe andPiper are there. Phoebe's flipping through the Book Of Shadows.]Piper: Wait, stop right there.Phoebe: The demon of cruelty.Piper: Hardens the heart, corrodesthe soul...Phoebe: And is a woman.Piper: Oh, oops.(Prue and Leo walk in.)Prue: Hey, so how is it going?Piper: In big fat circles. We've been reading all night andthere's no one in here that matches the guy I saw.Phoebe: We do have a list of six potential matches though.Piper: But there's no picture so we're sort ofshooting in the dark. My best guess is the demon of anarchy.Leo: Hey, you can't just guess. Alright, you have to be sure. It's very dangerous to engage an enemyunless you know who he is and what he wants.Piper: Leo, honey, we have done this a couple of times.Leo: No, I didn't mean...Prue: You know, Leo, it would begreat to know every single thing about our enemies but that's not always the case.Leo: I know, but...Phoebe: And if this guy is causing riots we can't just hangout and wait for inspiration, you know.Leo: Okay, three against one. I-I just, I was working that's all.Phoebe: Okay, so no offense to the Whitelighter but we'regoing with the Demon of Anarchy, right?Prue: Yes, the Demon of Anarchy.Piper: Okay, so this potion doesn't even require a double boiler.Phoebe: And it's yourbasic iambic pentameter chant. It's a very nice simple vanquish.Piper: Okay, so all we have to do now is figure out where this guys gonna show up next.Prue:Alright, well, who do we know that would be keeping track of anarchy?[Time lapse. Prue is on the phone with Morris.]Morris: Yeah, Prue, but the department hasall sorts of violence and the captain is calling in civil disturbances. In my professional opinion the whole city's lost its friggin' mind. We got street riots, looting,arson. We're two crimes away from being placed on tactical alert. You're not calling to tell me that all this trouble's because of you know what, are you?Prue:Yeah, well, possibly. We're actually researching that right now. We were kinda calling for your help.Morris: Look, I really can't leave right now.Prue: No, no, no,I-I understand and we're not quite there yet but it would really help to know where the latest hotspot is.[Scene: In a street. Police cars are there with emergencylights flashing. People are rioting. Prue, Piper and Phoebe get out of the car.]Prue: Don't freeze them yet. Don't let him know that we're here.Piper: Alright,alright.Phoebe: What the hell is wrong with these people?(They start walking through the crowd.)Piper: I can not wait to kick this guys butt all the way back to...(Phoebe and Piper get split up from Prue.) Alright, alright, this way, this way. (Piper spots Strife standing near by.) That's him, that's him.Phoebe: Well, let's gointroduce ourselves.Piper: Prue!(She points to Strife. He sees them and runs off. Prue runs after him and Phoebe and Piper follow behind. Strife runs in an alleyand around the corner where the other three horseman are.)Strife: There are three of them.(Prue runs around the corner.)Prue: There's four of you?(War walkstowards her. She tries to use her power but it doesn't work. He grabs her. Piper and Phoebe come around the corner.)Phoebe: Prue!War: Stop or I'll snap herneck. (to Strife) Start the chant.(Strife starts a chant in a weird language.)Prue: (to Piper and Phoebe) Start the damn chant.(Phoebe and Piper get a piece ofpaper out of their pockets and starts the chant.)Phoebe, Piper: \"Sower of discord, your works now must cease, I vanquish thee now, with these words ofpeace.\"(Piper throws a potion at Prue and War's feet and smoke rises around them. A bright light appears and then Prue and War disappear into a vortex.)Piper:Prue?Death: What the hell?(The horseman disappear.)Phoebe: What just happened?Piper: I think we just vanquished our sister.[SCENE_BREAK][Scene:Continued from before.]Piper: She's gone.Phoebe: We don't know that.Piper: Phoebe, we killed Prue.Phoebe: Piper, stop it okay. I don't wanna hear that.Piper:You think I wanna say it? I'm the one who made the potion, Phoebe, it's my fault.Phoebe: Okay, how about having a little faith. Alright, our magic has never letus down before.Piper: Well, there's a first time for everything isn't there.Phoebe: She's not dead.Piper: How do you know that?Phoebe: Because, Piper, I have nochoice but to believe in us and in our magic.

Don't get your delicates in a twist.The Doctor: Glitz![SCENE_BREAK]Refrigeration room[SCENE_BREAK]Kane: Belazs, you astound me. Those twogirls should have been searched when they were arrested. You seem to be taking advantage of my former feelings for you. Be warned, the past is an empty slate.I demand absolute loyalty now and forever, and I don't forgive those who betray me. The girls must be stopped before they reach Glitz and the Doctor. They mustbe eradicated.Kane: What could be more appropriate than to despatch some of Glitz's former crew after the girls. He betrayed his crew, now they can have theirrevenge. Everyone should be allowed his moment of revenge.[SCENE_BREAK]Base of the Ice cliff[SCENE_BREAK]The Doctor: I say, thank you.Glitz: It's no use,Doctor.

If he was amortician, the corpses would keep their eyes open.The Doctor: Ah.Glitz: In fact, if Kane knew we were after the...[SCENE_BREAK]Refrigerationroom[SCENE_BREAK]Glitz (O.C.): Dragon's treasure, your life expectancy wouldn't be looking too clever at the moment. He's a cold man, Doctor. Cut him openand you won't find a heart, just a lump of ice.[SCENE_BREAK]Base of the Ice cliff[SCENE_BREAK]The Doctor: These types never have any sense of fair play.Glitz:Exactly. Which is why I've come to the conclusion that play it by the rules is a mug's game. I have decided to hijack the Nosferatu. Which is where you come in,Doctor.The Doctor: Ah, hang on there a minute, Glitz. I'm engaged in a project of scientific curiosity. I mean, that dragon, or whatever it may turn out to be,could be an undiscovered species.Glitz: Look, I'll do you a good deal. You help me get the Nosferatu back, and I'll give you the treasure map so's you and Mel cango looking for this dragon. I can't say fairer than that, can I?The Doctor: You have me there, Glitz.

For example, do you hold any strong theological opinions?Guard: Ithink you'll find most educated people regard mythical convictions as fundamentally animistic.The Doctor: I see. That's a very interesting concept.Guard:Personally, I find most experiences border on the existential.The Doctor: Well, how do you reconcile that with the empirical critical belief that experience is at theroot of all phenomena?Guard: I think you'll find that a concept can be philosophically valid even if theologically meaningless.The Doctor: So, what you're saying isthat before Plato existed, someone had to have the idea of Plato.Guard: Oh, you've no idea what a relief it is for me to have such a stimulating philosophicaldiscussion. There are so few intellectuals about these days. Tell me, what do you think of the assertion that the semiotic thickness of a performed text variesaccording to the redundancy of auxiliary performance codes?The Doctor: Yes.[SCENE_BREAK]Nosferatu[SCENE_BREAK]Glitz: Ah, my ship.

An existentialist.Belazs: Quiet!Only one of us can leave Iceworld aboard the Nosferatu, and one way or the other it's going to be me.Glitz: What about the boss, Mister Kane? Does he know ofyour little enterprise?Belazs: Kane doesn't own me.The Doctor: Oh, I think he does. I think he bought you like he buys everything in Iceworld.Belazs: What wouldyou know about it?The Doctor: I think he bought you a long time ago. He paid seventeen crowns for each of Glitz's crew. How much did he pay for you? Was itworth it? Were you worth it?Belazs: That's what I sold myself for, Kane's mark. I ought to cut my hand off for doing it.Belazs: Go on, then.

Tell them I'm being treated better than I deserve. Now get out! I think youshould have this. [SIGH] You were adjusted. So, now you believe in the divinity of the Primes? Is that it? No. I know you're just a man who lost his way. Then tellme... what did you see? You got a glimpse. A glimpse? Of the truth greater than us all. Yes. No. I don't know. Let me guess. You saw this. You saw it, too? Ofcourse. I created all of Sanctum in its image. What does it mean? I stopped trying to answer that question years ago.

Octavia lost her memory, too.Must be a result of moving through the Anomaly.- HOPE: What's the Anomaly?- ECHO: You tell us.GABRIEL: It's the sound you hear. You said Octavia's nameright before you stabbed her. You remembered then, and you remember now. The Anomaly was on top of us then. Yeah, yeah, yeah, then she lost her memorywhen it receded... taking Octavia with it. Why just her? Why the memory loss? None of this makes any sense, but, my God, it's incredible. We need to get toBellamy. How fast can you run? I don't know. Let's find out.[INDISTINCT CHATTER][MEN CHEERING]MURPHY: Clowns to the left of me, jokers to theright.EMORI: Stop it.Here.

She has asked me to push her father's wheelchair down the aisle. So, basically, I am co-giving away thebride. Since I pay her salary it is like I'm paying for the wedding. Which I'm happy to do. It's a big day for Phyllis. But it's an even bigger day for me. Employer ofthe bride.[SCENE_BREAK]Phyllis: Yes, I put Michael in my wedding. It was the only way I could think to get six weeks off for my honeymoon. No one else hasever gotten six weeks before.[SCENE_BREAK]Pam: Phyllis... ended up using the exact same invitations as Roy and me. So it was kind of like being invited to myown wedding. And I was like 'Wait, thought I called that off'.[SCENE_BREAK]Jim: So what's in the box?Stanley: A toaster, you?Karen: A toaster.Stanley:Unbelievable.[SCENE_BREAK]Dwight: Hello, Angela.Angela: Hi, Dwight.Dwight: You look as beautiful as the Queen of England.Angela: Thank you.

A lot of pressure. Phyllis,did you break wind? It's okay, if you did. It's a very natural reaction. It's your wedding. And you're nervous...Phyllis: That wasn't me.Michael: Okay... umm... I'msure that Bob... Wow. That is... that is pungent. I lost my train of thought. Aaah... Are you set on that hairstyle?Phyllis: I thought it was...Michael: Here, letme...Phyllis: Michael...

And they asked me to be ring bearer. I was understandably emotional and somehow my pants became wet.Michael: [in video of Michael as akid] I hate you!Michael: Long story short: Jeff's dog ended up as ring bearer. And the irony is that after the ceremony that dog peed on everything and nobodysaid 'boo'.[SCENE_BREAK]Dwight: Why are all these people here? There are too many people on this Earth.

I forgot about that little wrinkle. But with eager minds, and thepower of magic, it's midsummer madness all the time. Now, if you'll excuse me, I gotta cut in.Opening Credits[Scene: Street. A security officer is standing in frontof an abandoned building, pointing a gun. People are panicking and trying to get away from him.]Security Officer: They'll burn! They'll burn! Don't youunderstand? They'll burn. We have to help them. (The police pull up.) I don't want to hurt anybody. We have to help them! They're burning. (The police get out ofthe car and point their guns at him.) I don't wanna hurt nobody, but I need somebody to listen. We need help. (A police officer tackles him to the ground.) Youdon't understand. You don't understand. The fire...Police Officer: Relax, pal, you're under arrest. (He handcuffs him.) Get up.Security Officer: We gotta helpMarie!Police Officer: Just calm down, buddy. Come on, everything's gonna be okay.Security Officer: No, it won't. You don't understand. The fire. You have to letme go so I can get help! They're gonna burn! They're gonna burn!(Screams are heard from a muddy hole in front of the building.)[Scene: Manor. Piper'sBedroom. Piper and Leo are there packing a suitcase. Wyatt is sitting on the bed.]Piper: Uh, rain gear for the kids?Leo: Yes.Piper: Camera and film?Leo: Ofcourse.(Piper picks up an Italian dictionary and flips through it.)Piper: Extra room for my... Pattini?Leo: (thinks) Pattini.Piper: Shoes. It's not a vacation in Italia ifyou don't have new shoes. (Leo laughs.) What's the matter?Leo: I don't know. I guess I still don't think that this is such a good idea.Piper: Why not? In HongKong, we'll buy you some suits or bootleg DVDs or something.Leo: It's not the shopping. It's this whole world vacation thing. I just think we should stay here andwait for the Elders' decision on me.Piper: Absolutely not. That's precisely why we should be going. Look, we're all together, we deserve a vacation. And we're notgonna sit around and wait for the other pattini to drop, so that's that. We're going.Leo: But what about the travel and the cost?Piper: Oh, for god sakes, Leo.We're orbing.Leo: Okay, well, what about Phoebe and Paige?Piper: What about them?Leo: Well, they made us this big send-off dinner last night.Piper: Oh,please. They ordered pizza.Leo: Right. And we're not helping with the clean up.Piper: Wow, if that's the best you got, you really do need a vacation.Leo:But...Piper: Arresto! Look, Phoebe and Paige just remade the world. I think they can handle the kitchen. Now, unless you have any more objections... (They pickup Wyatt and Chris and their bags.) Leaning Tower of Pisa, here we come.(Leo orbs them all out of the room.)[Cut to the Kitchen. Phoebe is on the phone. Paigeis at the sink cleaning the dishes.]Phoebe: I know, but Elise, why can't we just do the interview here? You know, kind of like an Ask Phoebe at home thing. Oh,yeah, the place looks great! (Paige makes a face.) Yeah, call them, I'll hold on.Paige: That sounds exciting.Phoebe: I guess.Paige: What do you mean? You haveCosmo profiling you. That'd be great at any time. Sheesh.Phoebe: I know, but I still want to make the most out of my day.Paige: Phoebe, you asked to meet mehere at... 8:22. That's not making the most of your day. That's some sort of weird OCD thing. What's going on?Phoebe: I don't know. Maybe meeting Drake andrealising what little time he has left has made me want to make the most of the time I have left? You know, time's a'wastin'.Paige: Yeah, well, at least you're notwasting all your time at Magic School.(The doorbell rings. Still on the phone, Phoebe heads for the front door.)Phoebe: (to phone) Yeah, Elise, I'm still here. Oh,they can move it, that's perfect. (Paige follows Phoebe to the front door.) Just as long as the shoot's over by 3:00, 'cause I'm speaking at City College. All right,I'll be there in like twenty-five minutes.(Phoebe hangs up.)Paige: Sheesh, woman. You're a machine.Phoebe: Every moment counts. Can you do me a favour andhelp me get this place cleaned up by 2:00? Great, thanks. (Phoebe opens the door.) Hey, Darryl, how you doing? Gotta go.(Phoebe grabs her coat.)Darryl: Hey,hold on a second. I need your help. Hi, Paige.Phoebe: I was afraid you were gonna say that.Paige: What's the matter?Darryl: I'm not sure, but I think I've beenaround you guys long enough to know when something is not right.Paige: What do you mean? Something magically wrong?Darryl: I don't know what else it canbe.Phoebe: Listen, I'm on the clock here, so you gotta speed this up a little.Darryl: Okay, look, my friend Mike, my mentor, actually. He's the one that broughtme into the force. I think that... he might be, you know, possessed, maybe. He's not crazy. I don't care what anybody says. I mean, Mike would not hurt afly.Paige: Whoa, wait. Back up to the possessed thing, please.Darryl: Well, since Mike retired, he's been working at this jewelry store as security on Market. Andlately he's been having these... episodes.Phoebe: What kind of episodes?Darryl: Well, they've been happening more and more frequently lately until yesterdaywhen he just snapped. He started waving his gun around, talking about he's gonna die in some terrible fire at Cabaret Fantome.Paige: I haven't heard of thatplace.Darryl: Look... I haven't asked you guys for help like this before.Phoebe: Okay. Well, if I move my staff meeting to 11:00 and my 1:00 to 1:30, I should beable to help you right now. So I will check the archives for the club, Paige, you go with Darryl and check out this Mike guy, and we'll meet back here at like, Idon't know, 1:10.(Phoebe leaves. Paige shrugs her shoulders.)[Scene: Bay General Hospital. A Room. Mike is strapped to a bed. He is yelling and trying to getfree.]Mike: No! I need... I need somebody to listen to me! I don't have much time. You understand? I don't have much time!(Paige and Darryl stand at thedoorway.)Darryl: You see what I mean?Paige: It doesn't seem demonic.Darryl: Not demonic? I'm telling you, he doesn't even know who I am. He acts like hedoesn't even know who he is.Mike: Help! Let me get out of here!Paige: He mostly seems afraid and panicky. All right, here goes. (They walk over to Mike.) Hi, I...I'm...Mike: Marie.Paige: No, I'm Paige. Who's Marie?Mike: My fiance. She's trapped too.Paige: Trapped where?Mike: At the club with everybody else.Paige:Cabaret Fantome?Mike: Yes! Yes, you know it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You believe me?Darryl: Just relax, Mike.Mike: No! My name is George. I keep telling you that!We're gonna die. Don't you understand that?Darryl: If that's not possession, what is it?[Scene: Magic School. Phoebe and Paige are there. Phoebe shows Paige anold newspaper.]Phoebe: Cabaret Fantome, deadly fire. Maybe Darryl's friend isn't so crazy after all. The Count's club was the biggest, most corrupt in the city.Right until it burned down, killing everyone inside.Paige: Okay, why would the Count set the fire in the club, only to die in it himself?Phoebe: I don't know, maybehe couldn't get out fast enough?Paige: Maybe we should talk to George.Phoebe: George? Who's George?Paige: If I'm right, he's somebody who died in the fire. Ithink he's a spirit that's possessed Mike and he's crying out for help.Phoebe: Yeah, but why would he need help? The fire happened over a hundred yearsago.(Drake walks in.)Drake: Help from the pain of being a lost soul, perhaps. Paige asked me to do a little research in between classes.(He drops a book on thetable.)Phoebe: \"Possessions, Confessions, and Ghostly Obsessions: A demon's guide to everything magical.\"Drake: Yeah, I used to sell these things lair to lair.Talk about a tough item to move.(The book opens.)Phoebe: \"Lost souls are spirits of the dead, unable to move on because of spiritual confusion.\"Drake: That'swhen souls die a violent death together. The fires of Gomorrah, the Flood, Pompeii. (The book starts to shake.) I would step back. The book likes to show off alittle, don't you?(A rope flies out of the book.)Phoebe: What the hell?Drake: Don't be afraid, it's simply illustrating a point. When souls die at once, the good onescan't move on because the bad ones are holding them back. And vice versa. They're lost, they're stuck in their respective afterlives, unaware of their tragic fate.It's really sad, actually.(The book slams shut.)Phoebe: Okay, but if they're unaware, how are we supposed to help George?Drake: We can't. Unless we enter hisworld and find out which one of those bad souls is holding him back.Phoebe: Excuse me?Drake: Well, this spell would get us there, but I'm not gonna tell youwhat it is unless you take me.Phoebe: Wait, us?Drake: How many chances do we have to go to the 1890s?Paige: It's not going to the 1890s that's the problem.It's getting back from the 1890s.Drake: Don't you worry there, little lady. The spell will only keep us with the souls till the moment they become lost. In this case,it's when the fire begins.Paige: Okay, how do we free George?Drake: I don't know, we wing it.Paige: Uh, okay. I don't know. I'm gonna go check out some otherthings.(Paige walks away.)Drake: All right. You don't have to go, but you do.Phoebe: I can't. I have an interview today.Drake: Interview shminterview. How doesan interview weigh in against the fate of an innocent? And if we are to help, your premonition skills could prove essential. And it is the next logical step in ourwhirlwind romance.Phoebe: What whirlwind romance?Drake: The one we'd be having if we had time. Come on, I don't have long to live, I'm dying here. A soulneeds your help. So, what do you say?(Phoebe sighs.)[Scene: Street. Phoebe, Paige and Drake pull up outside a large abandoned building.]Paige: Are you surethis is the place?Phoebe: It says here it's where the cabaret used to be.Paige: A vacant lot after 106 years?Drake: It's probably haunted. Or better yet cursed.Cool, let's go.Paige: Is there a special reason we can't do this from home?Drake: The closer we are to where the souls were lost, the better the chances of findingthe exact one we are looking for. Excuse me. Safety first.(He gets out of his seat and climbs over to the back seat where Phoebe is. Phoebe giggles.)Phoebe:"}

What you looking at? Dr. Albert? Did she hear you say she wasn't infallible? Please, Lord, grant me invisibility...Rusty : No. It's the girlfrom my American lit class. Just don't stare so much.Dale : That girl right there? I hate to say this, but I liked it better when you weren't on the prowl.Rusty :That's the Moby Dick girl.Dale : I'm not real sure I'm comfortable with that statement either.Rusty : Last week, in my American lit class, Mr. Ellman pointed to meand he's like, \"Mr. Cartwright,\" and I said, \"No, please call me Ishmael.\"Both : Emma cracked up.Dale : It's such a good story. Every time.Rusty : She got thejoke. I think she gets me. You know how rare that is?Dale : No, not really. But what I do know is that obsessing, particularly in the carnal realm, distracts themind from important matters, like solid-state chemistry.Rusty : My work in solid-state chemistry is not suffering because of Emma.Dale : Well, mine is. If you likethis girl, for heaven's sake, and mine, just ask her out.Rusty : She laughed at my joke, she didn't give me her phone number.

ZBZ HOUSE - Living roomFrannie : What's going on?Casey :Caroline, Laurie, and Amy have been invited to Lambda Sig pink rose formal.Frannie : It's fantastic.Ashleigh : We're finally moving out of the social dog house.Under the amazing leadership of Casey Cartwright.Frannie : So when do we call the Omega Chis? To build on the momentum? The Lambda Sigs are the secondhottest house on campus. Now that they've officially taken us off Greek death row with these invitations, this is the perfect time to push for a full pardon bysetting up a mixer with the first hottest house... the Omega Chis. If you thought that was a good idea.Casey : Actually, I think it's a... terrible idea.ZBZ Girl : Butthe Omega Chis are a rightful social counterpart.Casey : Rightful social counterpart B.J.K.Ashleigh : \"Before Jen K.\"Casey : And the shunning Omega Chi gave usafter the article was published? Not to mention B.P.H.Ashleigh : Before... Paris Hilton?Casey : Before public humiliation? The back-to-school carnival. Am I theonly one who remembers the kissing booth debacle? The way the Omega Chis publicly humiliated us? Why should we reward them for treating us like that? No,ladies. ZBZs will find their way to the top on their own merits. And in the meantime... We can celebrate, and strengthen from within. How about a game night?We can order pizza, bake cookies...Frannie : Great, that sounds great. It sounds great. Credits CRU - Dale & Rusty's roomRusty : 7:00, 8:00.? 7:00 sounds great.No. That's fine. Yeah, all right. I'll see you then. All right, bye. She wants to bring her roommate along on our date.Dale : That can't be a good sign.Rusty : If shedidn't want to be alone with me, why didn't she just break the date?Dale : Pity can be a pretty powerful emotion. Or... She likes you so much already, she wantsto show you off.Rusty : All right, maybe I should bring somebody to... To keep her roommate busy. So I can have a little one-on-one time with Emma.Dale :That's à good idea. Maybe get one of your frat bros to go along.Rusty : No, I don't wanna have to explain how this whole stupid date thing happened to any of theguys at the fraternity. Especially if it's go up in flames. How about you go with me? You're the one who got me into this.Dale : Rusty, I know you haven't beenable to see me in action. You know, pure girls being somewhat in short supply here at CRU. I'm known in certain circles as quite the ladies' man. I wouldn't wannashow you out there.Rusty : What circles are those?Dale : Purity pledge circles. I was voted \"most likely to have the opportunity to become impure, but have thesupreme self-control not to\" three years running in high school. I just don't want to risk our friendship over some girl.Rusty : I'm willing to take the risk.Dale : Allright, then. If that's the way you want it, roomie. But be forewarned. I have no control over this charisma. ZBZ HOUSE - HallwayRebecca : That sounds terrible.Poor thing! So I'll call you later. That was Cappie. He's sick.Casey : Yeah, I'm suddenly feeling a little nauseous myself.Rebecca : Not having a boyfriend isnothing to get yourself upset about. You don't need a man to have a fulfilling life. You could be the next mother Teresa or Rosie O'Donnell. Caroline and Mandyhave already left for the movies yet?Casey : Wait, you're not going to see Cappie?Rebecca : He's sick.Casey : Really? OK. I saw Mandy...Rebecca : What?Casey :It's just... When Cappie and I were together, I always took care of him when he was sick. But... He's probably not even thinking about that right now. Maybe youcan just send him a nice warm e-card. I'm sure it'd mean a lot to him. CRU - GardenAshleigh : Okay, I'm here. So what's with all the secrecy?Frannie : Weneeded to talk somewhere away from the house. I'm worried about Casey.Ashleigh : Frannie, I know you've supposedly gone through this whole personalityoverhaul thing, but I'm kind of weirded out when you start talking about your concern for Casey.Frannie : This is not about me. Didn't you notice how everyonewas looking at her when she nixed mixing with the Omega Chis? And I know you heard someone call her \"Lizzi.\"Ashleigh : So? Casey, Lizzi. It's an understandablemistake.Frannie : Casey is seriously being blinded to what's good for the house and herself by this Evan-shaped mental block. Which I know I helped to put there.That's why I'm doing everything I can to get everyone back to their rightful places.Ashleigh : If you feel so strongly about this, why don't you talk to Casey aboutit?Frannie : Because she might be kind of weirded out. Don't let her blow this opportunity, Ash. ZBZ HOUSE - Ashleigh & Casey's roomCasey : Not wanting tohave a mixer with the Omega Chis couldn't possibly have anything to do with my feelings for Evan. I don't have feelings for Evan. It doesn't matter to me if he'sarrogant, or rude, or dismissive... I don't even notice.Ashleigh : Yeah, I can see that. Did you know that Amanda gets PE credits for massaging the varsity boysduring swim meets? We should just go...Casey : The Omega Chis publicly humiliated the ZBZs at the back-to-school carnival. Right?Ashleigh : From where I wasstanding, Case, it looked more like... Evan humiliated you. But I could be so wrong.Casey : No, Ash. You're right. It was about Evan and me. But he is an OmegaChi and I am a ZBZ.Ashleigh : Yes, you are. And you're the best president ever.Casey : And there are 50 other girls in this sorority, who didn't get dissed and whowant to resume relations with the Omega Chis.Ashleigh : 50 hot, desirable Omega Chis, including Calvin, who might be waiting for an opportunity to disagree withEvan Chambers.Casey : That part would be gratifying.Ashleigh : I'm social chair. I can extend the invitation.Casey : Thanks Ash, but this isn't just about theparty. It's about normalizing relations. I need to do it. I can do it.Ashleigh : Wanna go fondle some swimmers first?Casey : You are such a good friend. CRU -CaféEmma : So how did you meet?Rusty : Did you guys meet here? You can go first.Emma : No, you first.Dale : Luck of the draw. Housing office saw fit to put ustwo brainiacs on the engineering dorm.Rusty : Dale, we don't need...Dale : Honors floor. I got a 2210 on my sats. Rusty here got about the same.Tina : I got2250.Dale : 780 in math. Tina 790.Rusty : Dale's very proud of his accomplishments.Emma : It's okay. Tina's not easily intimidated.Rusty : I see that.Emma : Sohow are you liking american lit?Rusty : Honestly, I am finding Moby Dick a little long and kinda stiff. I can't believe I just said that.Emma : I say things I don'tmean to say all the time. Why do you think I don't talk in class?Rusty : Well, I just figured you were so far ahead of the discussion, you were just waiting for therest of the class to catch up.Emma : I wish. Mostly I'm just trying to stay awake. Which I guess brings us back to Moby Dick being...Rusty : A little long andstiff.Tina : Is that what I think it is?Rusty : What, what is?Dale : His pledge pin? Or his scarlet letter, if you will? He's in a frat.Rusty : We prefer \"fraternity.\" I'mpledging Kappa Tau Gamma.Tina : The Greek system should be banned from college campuses.Dale : You got a 2250 on your sats, and you're down on theGreeks?Emma : Well, the Greeks aren't so bad.Tina : Emma, they're this totally ritualistic, secretive society.Rusty : I think you may be taking it a little bit tooseriously.Tina : You don't think it's serious when an organization takes monies from general students services fees, but doesn't allow all students to participate inits activities?Rusty : Well, the same could be said for most clubs on campus and sports teams.Emma : I could use some more coffee.Rusty : I can get that foryou.Dale : You know, I've started an organization you may be interested in, U-Sag.Tina : U- sag? What does that stand for?Dale : University students againstGreeks. CRU - StreetRusty : That was a complete disaster.Dale : Are you kidding? That was great. That Tina's a real spitfire.Rusty : Dale, this was supposed to bemy date with the new girl, and it turned into the Greek inquisition. They didn't even want us to walk them back to their dorms.Emma : Hey Rusty !Dale : If Tinawants to call me, tell her it's okay. I'm serious.Emma : I just wanted to apologize for abandoning you tonight. I'm not much good with confrontation.Rusty : Yourroommate likes it enough for both of you.Emma : I know. I probably shouldn't have brought her. I didn't really know you, and anyway, I'm really sorry. See youin class?Rusty : Maybe we can try it again? Just you and me? Friday night?Emma : Sure. Why not?Dale : Did you tell her to call me? OMEGA CHI HOUSE -HallwayEvan : Casey ?Casey : Hey!Evan : Hey!Casey : I was looking for Dino.Evan : Dino?Casey : The Omega Chi president?Evan : Yeah, I know. I know who heis. He's not here right now. What did you want to talk to him about?Casey : Just some Greek business. If that's okay with you.Evan : Why wouldn't it be with me?Just that the OCs and the ZBZs aren't exactly doing business anymore. But if you want me to tell Dino you stopped by, I'll tell him.Casey : You know what? Nevermind. I don't have to talk to him after all. KT HOUSE - Cappie's roomRebecca : Cap ?Cappie : That's my girl ?Rebecca : Hey ? Thought maybe you could use amassage or maybe a sponge... I thought you had a cold.Cappie : I do. I also have pink eye.Rebecca : Bummer. Well, there's some tea. I've gotta go.Cappie :Wait. What's under the white coat, doc?Rebecca : It's... nothing that should be seen through... Crust.Cappie : Is it really that bad? Okay, hold on. Here we go.Better?Rebecca : A little. What?Cappie : I didn't think that you'd come.Rebecca : Why not? Casey took care of you when you were sick, right?Cappie : Well, yeah,but, I mean, you're not... Tea! What is this, Earl Grey?Rebecca : It's chamomile.

I assume this is because of what I just witnessed with your sisteron the corner of Royal and St. AnnSophie: Did you enjoy the show?Klaus: It was a little melodramatic for my tastes. What did your sister want with me? Why didMarcel kill her?Sophie: I see you brought friendsKlaus: They're not with meSophie: They're with Marcel. That's all that matters. I know you built this town, butthis is his town now. He killed my sister because she broke the rules. So, I talk to you in front of them, I'm next(He rejoins the 2 men at the bar)Klaus: Are youtwo gentlemen following me?Man: Marcel said we're your guidesKlaus: Oh, he did, did he? Well, then, let me be exceedingly clear about something. If either ofyou following me again, you'll do so without the benefit of a spine(The waitress rejoins them)Camille: Sorry for the wait. If you're here for the gumbo, I'm aboutto break your heart. We just ran outKlaus: Your oldest scotch for my two friends here, love. Marcel wants to know what I'm up to, he can ask me himself(Sophieis outside, alone. She hears a door close and the men who were inside are here)Sophie: The doors work, you knowMan: You doing magic?Sophie: I'm praying tomy dead sister. Go ahead. Pay your respectsMan:. Don't make this a thing, Sophie. The hybrid was looking for Jane-Anne. Marcel wants to know whySophie: Oh,that sounds like witch business. I'd say ask her yourself, but I guess you can't seeing as how Marcel killed her(They're about to kill her but Elijah intervenes andkills them)Elijah: I'm Elijah. You've heard of me?Sophie: YesElijah: So, why don't you tell me what business your family has with my brother?(Klaus arrives at aparty, looking for Marcel. He catches one of his men)Klaus: Where's Marcel?Man: Who the hell's asking?Klaus: I assume you're jokingMan: I only answer toMarcelKlaus: Well, then, in that case, perhaps you'll answer to this. You're aware the bite of a werewolf can kill a vampire? Well, as you can see, I'mhalf-werewolf, so I'm gonna ask you one more time! Where is Marcel?(Marcel arrives)Marcel: H-hey. I'm right here. I'm right here. Easy, now. Diego's justlooking out for me. Nobody harms myguys. Those are the rulesKlaus: I don't care about your rules, Marcel. I don't need chaperones. Why are you having mefollowed?Marcel: Come here. I get it, huh? Show of force. You made your point. Let it go, friend. For meKlaus: Fine. Why don't you show me what you've donewith the place while you explain exactly what it is you've been up to in my town?Marcel: Follow me(Marcel and Klaus are on a balcony)Marcel: Look at thatskyline. That there, that's progress. More hotels, more tourists, more fresh blood. And the humans? I taught them to look the other wayKlaus: And what of thewitches? In my time, they were a force to be reckoned with, and now they live in fear. How do you know when they're using magic?Marcel: Maybe I got a secretweapon, an ace up my sleeve, something that gives me complete control over all the magic in this townKlaus: Hmm. Is that a fact?Marcel: Might be. Or maybeI'm just bluffing(He eats something)Klaus: You take vervain?Marcel: 'Burns like a bitch. But I figure I should limit the number of things I'm vulnerable to. Don't bemad about that chaperone thing. I told my guys to look out for you, that's all. That's what we do here... Look out for each other(They see Camille walkingalone)Marcel: Mmmmm.

Anyway, the point is, happy birthday, RJ.[END OF FLASHBACK]Ted: That's awful.Robin: No, here's the awful part.[FLASHBACK]Robin:You remembered my birthday![END OF FLASHBACK]Marshall: Lawyered. Now can we all just admit that last words are, in fact, a big deal?Everyone: Yes.Barney:Man, I always thought I had it rough not really knowing my dad, but... now I realize at least I'll never have to suffer like this.

(chuckles) Faith sighs.Mayor: What?Faith: Nothing.Mayor: Oh, it's cause I used the B-word, huh? Don't tell me you'restill sore about that whole Angel-Buffy thing.Faith: No, I'm over it. She can have him.Mayor: Better believe she can. She deserves that poor excuse for a creatureof the night. You, on the other hand, can do better. Faith is fidgeting and begins toying with the clasp of the box. The Mayor slams his hands down on top of thebox.Mayor: Don't do that.[SCENE_BREAK]Night. The limo pulls to a stop in a parking lot.

It's a big decision.Dawson: Well, I can handle it. It's just telling my parentsI'm worried about.Grams: Well, they might surprise you.Dawson: Maybe I should just give it more time.Grams: Because of your busy schedule?Dawson: BecauseI-- I don't even know what I'm gonna tell them.Grams: The truth will set you free.Dawson: The truth will tick them off. Maybe a letter.Grams: If Moses could facePharaoh, you can face your parents.[Frat House \u0000 People are partying and drinking while Jack and \u0000Blossom\u0000 sit on the couch playing PS2.

They didn't find any.ROXIE: (walking toHelen)Oh, my God. Helen?HELEN: Yes?ROXIE: Do you think Geoffrey might have actually done it?HELEN: No. That was all just depressed artist talk, Roxie. Youshould know that. You were a depressed artist yourself.BOOTH: (walking over with Brennan) Hello? Do you want to explain this to me?ROXIE: Uh, recentlyGeoffrey's been talking about finding a way to make himself part of the art.BRENNAN: Do you mean literally?HELEN: The ultimate artistic act.ROXIE: Geoffreywas depressed, and he said he felt like he'd reached his limit as an artist.BOOTH: We'd like to show you a picture of the remains, only if you're up forit.BRENNAN: I suggest you don't look at the person, but rather this distinct ring.HELEN: That's Geoffrey.ROXIE: I know that ring. I designed it myself. It'sGeoffrey.HELEN: (looking up and speaking as if to herself) Bravo, Geoffrey.BRENNAN: You are an extremely unlikable woman.BOOTH: Mr. Thorne have anyenemies?HELEN: Why? It's obvious he did this himself.BRENNAN: To you, perhaps, but we actually require evidence.ROXIE: Anton DeLuca.(Booth looks at hermeaningfully)ROXIE: He's an artist and a rival of Geoffrey's.

I would say give him a shot, but uh... I'd keep that caution bulb lit. Thank you for your call, Marie.[punches a button] Who's next, Roz?Instead of handing him over to his next caller, Roz interjects with her own on-air opinion.Roz: If you ask me, it's divorcedpeople you have to watch out for. Someone's never been married - it might just mean they're a careful shopper. Whereas your divorcé will bite into any old pieceof fruit without even giving it a squeeze first.Frasier: The preceding was an unbiased opinion from my never-been- married producer, Roz, who, incidentally, hassqueezed more fruit than Tropicana. [irritably] May we take another call, please?Roz: We could, but it's time for a station break.Frasier: [surprised] Oh. Oh wellthen, we'll be right back after this.He punches a button and removes his headphones, then enters Roz's booth. She is already up and on the way out.Frasier: Roz,didn't we just take a break?Roz: The lot was full this morning - I had to park at a meter. I'll be right back.Frasier: Oh.

Frasier rushes back out to see Roz lying on the floor and Bulldog getting up.Roz: [clutching her ankle] Ow, ow, ow,ow!Frasier: My God! [hurrying over] Are you alright?Bulldog: I got the wind knocked out of me, but I guess I'm OK.Gil comes over.Roz: Ow, ow, myankle!Frasier: Here, Roz. [bending down and touching her leg] Does this hurt?Roz responds with a deafening screech of pain.Frasier: Alright, there's no nervedamage at least.Gil: Still, one ought to have an X-ray.Frasier: Yeah, come on.They start to help her down the hallway, with an arm around each of theirshoulders.Roz: Frasier, Frasier, the show!Frasier: No, that's alright, Roz, I'll get someone to fill in for me.Roz: No, I mean right now! You've got dead air.Frasier:Oh, God!He lets go of her, almost dropping her to the floor again, and rushes back into the booth.Bulldog and Gil help a moaning Roz into a chair by the side.

He is carrying a white box.Frasier: Hi, Roz. How were things at the emergency room?Roz: Frustrating. You know how it is - you'resitting there in complete agony and every crybaby with a gunshot wound waltzes right in ahead of you. How was it after I left?Frasier: It was OK. Weird Brucefrom Engineering took over for you. [looking around] That's quite a boot collection. Wouldn't it be easier just to put notches in your bed post?Roz: Those aremine. You hate the way I've decorated, don't you?Frasier: No, no. Matter of fact, I admire your courage.Roz: [noticing the box] Is that for me?Frasier: Oh, yes.[hands it to her] Freud said that there are only two things we need to make us happy: work, and love.Roz: Aw, thanks, Frasier!

[whispering to Frasier] If you leave me, he'll hit on me!Frasier: Roz,with a sprained ankle?Roz: You know what it's like in the jungle - they always go after the sick and the lame.Frasier: Roz, I'd like to stay, but I'm meeting peopleat the opera. I've got the tickets!Bulldog: [entering with two glasses] Here we go. I'll get you more ice in a minute when the feeling in my forehead comesback.Frasier: Well, curtain's going up.

Um... oh, then I've got a late supper, then right to bed, I've got anearly squash game... tell you what, let's just say call me absolutely anytime after four tomorrow afternoon.He opens the door and exits, leaving Roz quiteeffectively in the doghouse.Bulldog: Hey.

You come over here acting allsympathetic, but you're still the same old horny, low-class slimeball you've always been!Bulldog: Hey, before you say something that ends up offending me...look, all I wanted to ask you is if, you'd be interested in producing my show.Roz: [shocked] What?Bulldog: Yeah, I'm not real crazy about the guy I got now.

It was obvious he was after something!Daphne: Well, that's not fair!Dr. Crane is always dropping by and bringing me little gifts and he's not after anything!Niles looks decidedly uncomfortable.Roz: [indignantly] I did not sleep withBulldog - he didn't even hit on me. He did want something, though - he wanted me to leave you and come be his new producer.Frasier: [skeptically] Oh, well! Iwonder why he said that!He trades a knowing look with Niles.Roz: Because he really wants me.Frasier: Yes well, I think that goes without saying.Roz: For hisshow.Frasier: Oh Roz, Bulldog knows the blunt approach won't work with you, so he's being more subtle. But his ultimate goal remains to... well, to...Roz:[snappishly] To what?Niles: To play Aeneas to your Dido. [pause] Sorry you had to hear that, Daphne.Daphne: Oh, that's alright.

And everyday, for eight years, people havelaughed at me. Well, who's laughing now?

He saves my life, I get him a box for his desk toy. EvenSteven.[SCENE_BREAK]Dwight: No, don't call me a hero. Do you know who the real heroes are? The guys who wake up every morning, and go into their normaljobs, and get a distress call from the commissioner, and take off their glasses and change into capes and fly around fighting crime. Those are the realheroes.[SCENE_BREAK]Oscar: Angela, Roy's check. He's coming in later to pick it up.Kevin: Man, I cannot believe I missed the fight.Oscar: It was crazy.Angela:You saw it? Describe it please.Oscar: Well, I heard some shouting. And I look over and Roy's by reception and you could just tell he's gonna punch somebody. Jimsays something. Roy stomps over there.

I was waiting to see what happened.Michael: Oh it... sounded interesting... what you weregonna...[SCENE_BREAK]Dwight: I saw the perpetrator advance toward the victim at a high rate of speed. His head was thrown back, his shoulder and arm cockedindicating an attack position. Perp grabbed the victim. I removed my weapon from its secure hiding place.Toby: Which is where?Dwight: Irrelevant. Discharged itat a distance of a little over a meter into the perpetrator's eyes, nose, and face area. Rendering him utterly and completely disabled. Then I contacted theauthorities.

I'm scheduled to get one in six months, but I'd like that to be moved up to now.Michael: Hmm. Ohh, Darryl. You are a good worker, and a goodman. I just, you know, times are tight. And I just don't think corporate is going to go for this right now.Darryl: Are you wearin' lady clothes?Michael:What?Darryl: Are you wearin' lady clothes? Those look like lady... pants.Michael: No, this is a power suit.Darryl: That there's a woman's suit.Michael: [Darryllaughs] I do not buy woman's clothes. I would not make that mistake again.Darryl: I'ma call Roy, man.Michael: Ohh... kay.Darryl: This is gonna make him feelbetter.Michael: All right.Darryl: This is too good.Michael: Alright, you know what? Pam, could you please tell Darryl that this is not a woman's suit?Pam: Oh myGod, that's a woman's suit!Kevin: You're wearing a woman's suit?Michael: No, I do, I, I wear men's suits, OK? I got this out of a bin.[SCENE_BREAK]Michael:There were these huge bins of clothes, and everybody was rifling through them like crazy, and I grabbed one. And it fit! So I don't think that this is totally just awoman's suit. At the very least it's bisexual.[SCENE_BREAK]Kevin: Who makes it?Michael: Uh, [reading the inside of his jacket] MISSterious. And it is mysteriousbecause the buttons are on the wrong side... that's the mystery.Phyllis: Look, it's got shoulderpads, and did you see that lining?Michael: Okay.Phyllis: Did yousee...Michael: Would you stop it, please?Jim: So, none of that tipped you off?Michael: It's European, OK? It's a European cut.Pam: Michael, the pants don't haveany pockets.Michael: No, they don't. See? [Michael lifts his jacket tail, sticks out his back side and shows Pam]Pam: [Laughing, covering her mouth]Michael:Italians don't wear pockets.[SCENE_BREAK]Pam: It's been a really rough couple of days... This helps a little.[SCENE_BREAK]Karen: Hey, maybe you want tocome over and raid my closet?Michael: No, I don't want to do that because I'm twice your size anyway.Darryl: Yeah, he look like Hillary Clinton.Michael: Um, let'sjust do this in 15 minutes.Darryl: Okay, can you just stand right there? [snaps camera phone picture] I gotta send some e-mails.[SCENE_BREAK]Michael:Negotiations are all about controlling things. About being in the driver's seat. And make one tiny mistake, you're dead. I made one tiny mistake. I wore woman'sclothes.[SCENE_BREAK]Kevin: Karen, how do you feel that Roy tried to kick your boyfriend's ass over another woman?Karen: I feel great, Kevin. Thankyou.Stanley: You must have been scared out of your mind.Karen: Well, you know it happened so fast I didn't really have time to be scared.Angela: Whathappened, exactly? I wasn't here, so I haven't really heard the whole story.Karen: Um, well, Jim and I were talking and Roy walked in looking superangry.Angela: Mm-hmm.Karen: And he's a big dude, you know? And all of a sudden, Jim pushed me out of the way, and Roy cocked his fist, and then bam,Dwight sprays him and knocks him on his butt.Angela: [flustered] Goodness.[SCENE_BREAK]Karen: When I heard Jim and Pam had kissed, my reaction was tohave lots of long talks with Jim about our feelings. Roy just attacked him. I'm not sure which one Jim hated more.[SCENE_BREAK]Michael: Let's get down tobusiness. Why don't you tell me why you think you deserve a raise.Darryl: Well, it's simple Mike. I mean we merged these two branches right? So now we'reshipping twice as many orders as we used to. With Roy gone we got a smaller crew. And I'm pickin' up all of his slack, so I think I should be compensated fairly,by gettin' a raise.Michael: [mumbles jibberish]Darryl: What? I can't hear you.Michael: [mumbling softly] That was a very good point.Darryl: I can't--- what, Mike?Are you---Michael: [mumbling softly] You make a very compelling argument.[SCENE_BREAK]Pam: Sorry I almost got you killed.Jim: Yeah, that was nuts.Pam:He could have broken your nose or something. Crazy. It's just so stupid. I mean, getting back with Roy and everything. I mean, what was I thinking, right?Jim:No, I mean, you guys really seem to have a strong connection.Pam: Not anymore. It's, um... It's completely over now.Jim: We'll see. I'm sure you guys will..."}

We haven't done all the things we're meant to do.GAIUS: That is a lament of all men.MERLIN: Gaius, he's myfriend.GAIUS: Then save him. Merlin uses magic to flip through the book.MERLIN: Gestathole. Nothing happens. Merlin flips through the book again.MERLIN:Thurhhaele. Nothing happens.MERLIN: Maybe the spells need time to take effect.GAIUS: The bite of the Questing Beast is a death sentence that no magic canoverturn.UTHER: Where is the Prince?! Where is my son?! Uther enters.UTHER: Arthur! Merlin magically closes his magic book.UTHER: Do something,Gaius!GAIUS: I am trying, your majesty.MERLIN: Gaius will find a cure. He will not let him die.GAIUS: I will do everything in my power. Uther desperately picksup Arthur himself.UTHER: I'll bear him to his chamber. Castle - Main Square Uther walks through the Square with Arthur in his arms, Merlin and Gaius following.Uther collapses in his grief. Four knights come to bear Arthur inside as the King weeps on his knees. Morgana opens a window and watches the scene below.Dragon's Cave Merlin rushes to the Dragon's Cave.MERLIN: I have failed Arthur, failed in my destiny.KILGHARRAH: And yet, you would not be here if that weretrue.MERLIN: He was bitten by the Questing Beast. He's going to die.KILGHARRAH: Does he still breathe?MERLIN: Only just.KILGHARRAH: Then there is still timeto heal him.MERLIN: I've tried. I cannot save him.KILGHARRAH: You do not know how to save him.MERLIN: But you can tell me how?KILGHARRAH: Perhaps. Itwill not be easy.MERLIN: I will do anything.KILGHARRAH: Anything?MERLIN: Please, just tell me what I have to do!KILGHARRAH: Very well. The Questing Beastis a creature conjured by the powers of the Old Religion. You must use the same ancient magic to save him.MERLIN: But the Old Religion died out centuriesago.KILGHARRAH: The Old Religion is the magic of the earth itself. It is the essence which binds all things together. It will last long beyond the time ofmen.MERLIN: But how can that help me save Arthur?KILGHARRAH: You must find those who still serve it. Those who hold dominion over life and death.MERLIN:Where?KILGHARRAH: Go to the place that men call the Isle of the Blessed, where the power of the ancients can still be felt. There you will discover Arthur'ssalvation.MERLIN: Thank you. Thank you.KILGHARRAH: And Merlin, the young Pendragon must live, no matter what the cost. Gaius's ChambersGAIUS: Merlin,you're back. I need your help. You must get this to Arthur to ease his passing.MERLIN: No. We have to save him. Merlin starts packing food.GAIUS: You'vealready tried.MERLIN: The beast comes from the Old Religion. The cure must come from there as well.GAIUS: There are not many left with such an art.MERLIN:You said yourself, the Old Religion is still alive, and there is an island beyond the White Mountains...GAIUS: No!MERLIN: The Isle of the Blessed...You knowit?GAIUS: It was said to be the centre of the Old Religion, the focus of its power.MERLIN: Why did you keep this from me?GAIUS: Because it was too dangerous,Merlin.MERLIN: It's our only chance! I have to find it!GAIUS: And once you are there, what will you ask?MERLIN: For Arthur to be saved.GAIUS: The QuestingBeast chose Arthur. That means the Old Religion has decided his fate.MERLIN: Then I will convince them to change their minds!GAIUS: It is not that simple! TheHigh Priests have the power to mirror life and death, but there will be a price to pay. They will demand a life in return. Merlin, please, I beg of you.MERLIN: I'msorry, Gaius. Whatever the price is, I will pay it gladly. Arthur lies dying in his bed. Castle - Gate Merlin prepares his horse to leave. Gaius approaches him.GAIUS:Here. Gaius hands Merlin rolled parchment.GAIUS: You'll need a map. And I'm going to give you this. My mother gave it to me. Merlin unwraps tinypackage.GAIUS: It's a rabbit's foot.MERLIN: To keep you safe.GAIUS: It was said to protect you from evil spirits. It's rubbish. I don't believe in superstition. Idon't know why I gave it to you. Gaius reaches to take it back.MERLIN: No. I want it. Thank you. (sigh) You've got to keep Arthur alive until I get back.

Through the Valley of the Fallen Kings. To the north of the great seas of place name: Marador, you will find a lake. Arthur's Chambers Gaius is asleepin the chair next to Arthur's sick bed. Gwen enters and knocks on the door to wake Gaius.GWEN: Gaius? You should get some rest.GAIUS: He must not be leftalone.GWEN: I will nurse him. Gaius leaves. Gwen takes the towel from Arthur's forehead, dips it in a bowl of water, and sits on the bed to tend to him.GWEN:You're not going to die, Arthur. I'm telling you. Because I know that one day you will be King. A greater king than you father could ever be. It's what keeps megoing. You are going to live to be the man I've seen inside you, Arthur. I can see a Camelot that is fair and just. I can see a king that the people will love and beproud to call their sovereign. For the love of Camelot, you have to live. Arthur's Chambers A crowd gathers outside Arthur's window holding candles. Utherwatches from the Griffin Landing window. Gaius comes up behind him.GAIUS: Is there anything I can get your majesty?UTHER: The people have begun to saygoodbye.GAIUS: He's not yet gone, Sire.UTHER: But he will not recover.GAIUS: Not without a miracle.UTHER: I don't believe in miracles. Lake / Isle Of TheBlessed Merlin approaches the lake, steps in a little boat.MERLIN: Astyre. The propels boat across the lake.

Some of these men are here to try out their luck in the gold fields. Others see a chance to make money off the miners. And manyare here to put their pasts behind them. There was a popular song during the Gold Rush which was called \"What was your name in the States?\" You could leaveyour entire past behind. You could start over again.Narrator: One man looking for a new start is a tough frontiersman from the western states named Frank Reid.He's a land surveyor and former soldier who is trying to escape from a dark past. Reid had killed a man in Oregon.Spangenberger: He killed him because of hisbad temper. It was a neighbor that there was just some animosity brewing between them. The neighbor passed by him without acknowledging him. And thatoffended Reid's sense of honor.Hutton: The altercation was a real reflection of his demand for respect. He had a real edge to him.Narrator: Haunted by the killing,Reid yearns to put his demons behind him and contain his hair-trigger temper. He had a checkered past, but he wanted stability. He wanted somethingbetter.Narrator: Reid sees the Klondike as his chance for redemption. I don't think Reid was looking so much for the gold as for the opportunities that the GoldRush was gonna create. He sees a new chance to remake himself 'cause that's what the west is all about.Narrator: When Reid arrives in Skagway in the summerof 1897, he's one of the early settlers. It's totally a sea of mud. Heaven help you if you fell 'cause you're likely just to drown in the muck.Narrator: The cold andthe mud are only part of the problem. With no rules or oversight in this harsh environment, Skagway is a lawless place. But Frank Reid sees promise. He teamsup with some other settlers who share his vision to create a real town from the chaos and mud.Man: Where do we get started? Well, I was a surveyor down in thelower 48. I thought maybe I could help lay out your roads. He's looking for an opportunity. And, of course, he has the skill set, which no one else has, to lay outthe town. He's rewarded with a secure place amongst the leaders of Skagway.Narrator: Soon, there are primitive streets, a stable, and an inn to house some ofthe miners. Frank Reid's mission is now to tame this town and create law and order from the frontier chaos. He wants to be a founding father of somethinggreat.Narrator: Thus far, he's been able to keep his violent temper in check. But he's about to meet a foe who will ignite his fury and spark an epic battle for thetown that soon turns deadly. One of the newer arrivals in Skagway is Jefferson Randolph Smith. He's a man on the run from his bad reputation. Jeff was the kingof the frontier con men. That's what he's most well known for. Step right up. Who feels like trying their luck today? Three-card monte.Narrator: He's a slipperycharacter, true to his nickname... Soapy Smith. You got the lucky streak in your eye. How about you step up there? Just a dollar to play, huh? This one right here.All right. I got the ace of spades. And they're dancing. They're flying.Narrator: Having just arrived in Skagway, this infamous con man keeps a low profile at firstin order to scope out the town. With a history of organizing major cons and robberies all over the west, he's currently on the lam from Denver, Colorado, wherehe was the kingpin of a powerful crime syndicate and had been wanted for murder. There were several times where he was arrested for possibly killing people.But most of the time, it was swept under the rug. And he had enough power to get out of the charge and get out of a prison sentence.Hutton: He bought and paidfor protection from the police. He had been very, very successful. Oh. Better luck next time, all right? Who's next? Step right up!Narrator: But when Soapy'scorrupt ways finally get him run out of Denver, he's forced to find somewhere new. When he hears of the Gold Rush in Alaska, he arrives in Skagway with asingular mission... Take this town for all it's worth. As he always does in a new place, Soapy finds some accomplices and sets up shop by opening a saloon. Thelegend has it that Soapy arrived and right away began working the machinery behind the scenes, as he had done in all of his others towns, setting up the gangand setting up his various establishments.Narrator: The saloon has gambling tables, whiskey flowing around the clock, and ladies of the night. In this den of sin,Soapy and his gang run their scams and robberies. Soapy is about con operations, and he's about pickpockets and stealing people's money when they're in bedwith a prostitute. This is the way he makes his money. And, of course, he's running crooked card games.Narrator: With all this debauchery and theft and theunsavory characters who come with it, crime and violence begin to emerge in this small frontier town.[Gun cocks, gunshot]Hutton: For Frank Reid and others whohad come into Skagway hoping to establish something good, Soapy Smith was an incredible threat.Narrator: As legend has it, after hearing rumors of Smith'sillegal ventures, Reid stops by Soapy's saloon to confront him.And he seethes with anger over the depravity he discovers inside. Whoa! When Reid sees a drunkcausing trouble at the bar, he snaps... Get the hell out of here. ... and throws the scoundrel out. Reid's focus quickly turns to Soapy, the criminal who threatens todestroy Skagway. Reid thought that Jefferson Randolph Smith was a scourge on the community, that he was bad for business, that they didn't need to have hiskind around.Narrator: Soapy knows Frank Reid is one of the town pioneers who stands for law and order, so he expected this visit would come eventually. But hedoesn't like anyone putting a hand on his customers. I appreciate you trying to protect my place. But I don't mind a guy getting drunk. That's sort of the idea ofthe business. I want to see this place get built up, not torn down by a bunch of drunks. They weren't immediately hostile to each other, but they certainly weren'tfriendly, either. And so there's a tension.Narrator: Soapy tries to determine how much of a threat this lawman might be.Soapy: So, what brings you up here? Youain't out hunting for gold in the fields. You aiming to stick around, settle down? It's the wrong place for that. I intend to stick around.Narrator: The men partways, but both can see it's only a matter of time before the two collide.Hites: Frank Reid was trying to find an opportunity, trying to get Skagway built. Soapy justwanted to continue the old ways.Narrator: Soapy knows that Frank Reid could pose some serious problems for him. Reid is dedicated to shutting down Soapy'sillegal operations to prevent Skagway from falling into corruption and lawlessness like so many other old west towns had in the wake of the civil war. Reid hadtraveled all over the west to boom towns before. He knew the kind of people that lived there. And, of course, the arrival of Soapy Smith was just a nightmare.Here is exactly the sort of con artist that had been run out of all sorts of towns. He's the last thing that they wanted in Skagway.Narrator: Determined to rid thetown of gambling and thievery, Reid meets with the other founding fathers to sound the alarm and get organized. The group said, \"Okay. We're gonna take on thejob of trying to keep some semblance of civilization here.\"Narrator: In this distant frontier town with no police force or militia, the men band together with onegoal in mind... to establish law and order in Skagway. I'm here to propose Skagway is kept a safe city. Hear, hear. Somebody's got to keep order. The pioneers ofSkagway have to make their own government and their own rule. I propose that we form a committee to deal with some of the welfare issues of thiscity.Narrator: The group calls itself \"The Committee of 101,\" named after the many members who joined the cause. For the Committee of 101, for Frank Reid, it'sall about power, and it's all about money. We have a real opportunity here to become very, very wealthy. But to have money, you've got to have decency andsafety and law and order. Let's make Skagway into the jeweled city of the northwest.Narrator: But the new Committee of 101 knows there's one thing standingdirectly in their way... Soapy and his gang of thieves. They couldn't do much about it at that point. It was too early on.Narrator: As a first order of business, aU.S. marshal is appointed. But deep down, Reid knows he may have to personally step in to keep Soapy in line. There's no question that Frank Reid is one of thefew men in town with a real reputation. He certainly is one of the few men in town who everyone knew had killed someone.Narrator: Meanwhile, Soapy Smith isbusy quietly building his criminal empire. He has already won over the more corruptible merchants in town to support his cons, promising he'll never fleece alocal, just the miners passing through. Some merchants were behind him. As long as they weren't a part of the actual cons, they could look the other way andjust profit from it. Soon, hundreds of men are on his payroll. And Soapy, ever the smooth talker, starts winning over the rest of the town, as well.Hutton: He's"}

I hate you. Youscrewed me here. Because now, instead of Cale, we're gonna have to name him after one of her uncles. What's that name? Moral. Moral MacArthur. He soundslike a Civil War general. Can you change your dog's name? This dog's real, your baby's hypothetical. And I think a mistake.Kevin: Dick. Sorry, I can't talk to youright now, bye.Kevin: Oh, God.[ALL BOOING]Hey, your week two champion has arrived.Kevin: Oh, stop, all right? It's week three.

We were just... we-we... were just kissing, that'sall.Phoebe: Piper, you don't have to justify it. You're single. You're responsible. You're way overdue in the s*x department. I say go for it.Piper: I'm not wayoverdue. Alright, maybe a little, but that's besides the point. I would never just sleep with a guy to get something.

It's the strongest.Prue: Sayswho?Phoebe: Says every demon or warlock we've ever gone up against.Piper: She's right, Prue. The power of one's gotta mean you, otherwise it would've saidthe Power of Three. The only question is how are we gonna find this demon.

Why did you say that today was gonna be apowerful day for us?Stevie: Because your anniversary falls on the Equinox. Which is a powerful day in and of itself for you, this convergence of powers is evenstronger. The potential greater. All you have to do is connect. You wanna try it?Phoebe: Try it? How?Stevie: Let us begin.(Stevie joins the other women.)Piper: Idon't wanna connect.Phoebe: We have to connect.Piper: I don't wanna try it.Phoebe: Okay, but we have to because...Piper: Why?Phoebe: What have we got tolose, okay?(Piper and Phoebe turns around and notice all the women have taken off their clothes.)Piper: Well, apparently we've got our clothes to lose.Phoebe: Isee that.(Phoebe pulls Piper behind a rock wall and Phoebe starts taking off her clothes.)Piper: No. Whoa, Whoa.

It shouldattract a lot of buyers, which should result in a bidding war. It's the best way to sell inventory like this at top dollar.

It's not easy.Mrs. Milton: I suppose that you deal with deathquite a bit in your line of work, don't you? I mean, like this, auctioning off some poor widows inheritance.Prue: This? Unfortunately, yes.Mrs. Milton: I just keepgoing over and over in my mind the last time I saw him before the accident.

You're a lucky man, Raylan.Raylan: I got shot, Art.Art: Only thing that saved you was all thatbody fat you got going on there.Raylan: Starting to feel uncomfortable.Art: Why? We're alone. Crowder's here.Raylan: Didn't wear your suit.Boyd: Boy, you saythat as if I've only got the one and not a whole closet full.Raylan: [ Chuckles ] I'm sorry. You didn't wear your black suit.Boyd: Well, I can see by the hitch in yourstep you're still not 100%.Raylan: Yeah. How's Ava?Boyd: She's moving not so different from you. She's healing. So was I right not to wear my suit?Raylan: Well,we don't have a strict dress code.Boyd: Well, it just occurred to me that Raylan Givens invites me up to Lexington. Chances are I might find myself in front of ajudge before the day is out.Raylan: Why? Did you do something you shouldn't have?Boyd: Well, that's a pretty low bar, Raylan.Raylan: [ Laughs ] Nah, trooperTom Bergen, up there in your world, he says within a day of Mags killing herself, all her marijuana-drying sheds got cleaned out.Boyd: I wasn't aware thatmarijuana interdiction fell under the marshals' purview.Raylan: He also said that the floorboards in the sheds had been torn up, ceilings pulled down, wallsopened up, like someone was looking for something, which does fall under the marshals' purview... Recovering ill-gotten gains. Mags' bank accounts have beenseized along with her property, but there's still a sizeable amount of money missing.Boyd: How sizeable, Raylan?Raylan: Well over $10.Boyd: Well, now, if Ifound that kind of money, I'd be in Mexico by now.Raylan: Boyd, I've been to Mexico. I don't think you'd like it.Boyd: How so?Raylan: There's a lot ofMexicans.Boyd: Raylan, if a book could only be judged by its cover, you'd be a best seller.Raylan: Hmm.Boyd: Are we done?Raylan: Looks like. Sorry for wastingyour time.Boyd: Never a waste of time to spend a moment with my good friend Raylan Givens. Tell you what. I'll ask around. See if I can't get a line on thatmoney for you.Raylan: I appreciate it.Boyd: In exchange for an apology.Raylan: I'm sorry. What?Boyd: I want you to apologize.Raylan: For the crack about theMexicans?Boyd: By the time I got out of Wade Messer's house, Dickie Bennett was tuning you up like it was his birthday and you were his piñata, only I don'tthink there would have been candy pouring out.Raylan: You're saying you saved my life.Boyd: Are you saying I didn't?Raylan: I would suggest what you'relooking for is a \"thank you,\" not an apology.Boyd: Well, now, follow my logic, Raylan. I had my own plans for Dickie on account of his shooting Ava, but you saidyou needed him, so I let you have him under the condition that you would return him to me once his services had been rendered.Raylan: [ Scoffs ][ Sighs ]I'msorry.

Frasier is playing a tune on the piano, Martin is looking through some old police work, andDaphne is busying herself in the kitchen. Frasier turns round to find Eddie staring at him.Frasier: Dad, he's doing it again! Must this dog stare at me all thetime?Martin: I don't know. Eddie - must ya? [Eddie carries on staring] Apparently he must.Frasier: [to Eddie:] What is so fascinating about me? What is it? Doyou imagine I am a large piece of kibble? Am I some sort of canine enigma? Think about it, get back to me.Daphne enters carrying a tray of food.Daphne: Herewe are, gents, dinner's up. [to Martin:] Can I give you a hand clearing up your papers?Martin: No, you better let me. I need to keep these in a particularorder.Daphne: What is all this, anyway?Martin: Oh, it's an old case of mine from the police force - the \"Weeping Lotus\" murder.Frasier: Dad, I can't believe you'restill trotting this old thing up. He's been trying to solve this case for twenty years.Martin: Yeah, and I'm not stopping until I do solve it. You adopt certain instinctswhen you're a cop. And my instinct tells me that this case can be cracked. There just must be one small thing I keep overlooking. [tidies papers]Frasier: There is- who the murderer was. [laughs]The doorbell sounds and Frasier goes to answer it as Daphne and Martin chat.Daphne: It's nice you feel so dedicated.Martin: It'sa hobby. Some guys build a boat in their garage, I try to figure out why a maniac would kill a hooker and try to stuff her entire body into a bowling bag. It'srelaxing!At this point Frasier opens the front door to Niles who is carrying a bottle of wine. He enters and hands the wine to Frasier.Frasier: Hello, Niles.Niles:Sorry I'm late, Frasier. Just as we were leaving, Maris had a run-in with a rude directory assistance operator and it shattered her calm.Frasier: Have you everconsidered that maybe Maris is a bit high strung? Maybe she should see someone.Niles: She's seen everyone, why do you think she was calling directoryassistance?Daphne: Evening, Dr. Crane.Niles: Hello, Daphne. It's so good to see you again. [she puts the meal down] What an enchanting scent you'rewearing.Daphne: [smells herself] Must be the ranch dressing. Won't Mrs. Crane be coming?Niles: No, I'm afraid. And please, no more of this \"Doctor\" and \"Mrs.Crane\" formality. To you, it's Niles and... [stumped] er...Frasier: Maris.Niles: Yes, Maris.Martin: Glad you could join us, Niles.Niles: Oh, I wouldn't have missedit.Martin: Well, I guess the food's all ready: why don't we just go ahead and start?Everyone sits down except Daphne who begins to take her food into thekitchen.Daphne: Well, enjoy.Martin: Where are you going?Daphne: I thought I'd have mine in the kitchen.Martin: Don't be ridiculous.Niles: Yes, we can't haveyou eating by yourself in the kitchen. I'll join you.Martin: No. We're all eating right here, like a family, end of discussion.Daphne: Well, isn't this nice? Feels justlike home.Niles: I'm famished.Frasier: Me, too.Niles and Frasier begin to eat...Martin: You boys still say a prayer before you eat?They relent and pretend they do.All four close their eyes and hold their hands together. As Martin begins his prayer, Niles stares at Daphne as Eddie stares at Frasier. Daphne does not notice withher eyes shut. However, Frasier notices Eddie's skin-creeping look.Martin: We thank you, Lord, for the food we're about to eat. You have blessed our table withyour palm. And thank you, Lord, for bringing this family together and we also thank you for the other gifts you have given to us. And may we always be able toshare with those less fortunate...Frasier: [to Eddie:] OH, WILL YOU STOP STARING!Niles: [off guard:] I wasn't staring!Martin: [takes what he can get]Amen.They all settle down. Daphne looks at Niles a little suspiciously as he begins the meal conversation.Niles: So Frasier, did you happen to read Derek Mann'scolumn today? You were mentioned.Frasier: No, I missed it.Niles: Just as well, it wasn't flattering.Frasier: I still would have liked to have seen it anyway.Niles:Oh, why didn't you say so? [takes it out of his pocket]Daphne: If I may ask, who's Derek Mann?Martin: He writes that \"Mann About Town\" column for the Times.The things that guys comes out with, sometimes he's really funny - what did he say about you?Frasier: [reading:] \"I hate Frasier Crane.\"Martin: [laughs, then:]Oh, sorry.Frasier: That's it. \"I hate Frasier Crane.\" That's it?Martin: Oh, don't let it bother you.Frasier: Well, actually it doesn't, dad. I knew when I chose a careerin the public eye that I'd be open to certain criticisms, it's the price I pay for my celebrity. Thank you, Niles, for bringing me the paper, and thank you forhighlighting it in yellow! Now, who would like some wine?Daphne: Oh, I'll have some.Frasier goes to pour some as Niles compliments Daphne.Niles: Daphne, thissalad is exquisite.Frasier: [sitting down:] Now why would he say that?Martin: Must be the carrots, he always did like them.Frasier: Not the salad, Derek Mann. Imean, why would he write a thing like that? I've never done anything to him, the attack is totally unwarranted. I'm a healer, for God's sake.Martin: Oh, for cryingout loud!Frasier: Dad, I have every right to feel upset about this - I will not enjoy my dinner until this is where it belongs - in the trash.Frasier goes to bin it asNiles tries to stop him.Niles: Oh, oh, there was an article in there I wanted to save.Martin: On what?Niles: Nothing.Martin: Come on, I'm interested.Niles: Oh,let's drop it.Martin: Why can't you tell me?Niles: All right, it was all about Margaret Thatcher's secret for growing prize-winning zinnias. Are you happy?Martin:[beat] Not really.[SCENE_BREAK]OH, YEAH...Scene Two - Radio Station. The following afternoon Frasier is taking a call on air in his booth as Roz listens.Frasier:All right, Lorraine. Now, calm down and try and listen to what I'm going to say to you. Will you do that?Lorraine: [v.o:] Okay.Frasier: All right, good girl. Nowyour problem...Lorraine: [beep] Oh my gosh, another call waiting - someone else is trying to get through. Do you mind if I take it?Frasier: No, no. Go rightahead. [she does] Well, certainly a very interesting situation she's got herself into. Don't you think so, Roz?Roz is busy eating and reading magazines. She has toquickly chew her food, put down her books just for the simple:Roz: Yes.Lorraine: Okay, I'm back.Frasier: All right, Lorraine. Now listen very carefully to what I'mgoing to tell you. Your problem seems...Lorraine: [beep] Oh, I'm sorry, I'll be right back.Frasier: For someone who's got so many problems she certainly ispopular. [laughs]Lorraine: Okay, go ahead Dr. Crane. I'm here. [beep] Oh, I don't believe it - another call.Frasier: Hold it there, Lorraine. The reason why youwant to take that other call is the same reason that you want to change your career and break up with your boyfriend. You're obsessed with what you think you'remissing. The better offer, the call on the other line. Well, you've got to take one call at a time from now on. Fully explore and experience each one in its turn andyou'll be a stronger person for it. Do you follow me, Lorraine?Lorraine: Okay, I'm back!Frasier: Thank you for your call. [hangs up] Well, we've only got twominutes left, so I would like to end today's program on a personal note. As some of you may know, yesterday I was mentioned in Derek Mann's \"Mann AboutTown\" column. He said, and I quote, \"I Hate Frasier Crane\"... \"I Hate Frasier Crane\". [sarcastic:] What trenchant criticism. Move aside Voltaire, step back in theshadows H.L. Mencken, there's a new kid in town. One can only wonder how many hours Derek Mann sat in the glow of his computer screen before his tremblingfingers sprang to life and pecked out this cheft'ouerve: \"I Hate Frasier Crane.\" A lesser critic would have wasted our time by presenting a well thought-out, pointby point, constructive critique of this show. No, not our Mr. Mann. So dear listeners, when Mr. Mann's column arrives on your front doorstep - read it, enjoy it, butabove all, treasure it. For one day this man will be joining the Pantheon of the immortals. And if we're lucky... it'll be one day soon. I'm Dr. Frasier Crane. [signsoff]Frasier presses the off air button, and twirls his microphone around before blowing on it as if it were his weapon, then \"holsters\" it in hisbelt.[SCENE_BREAK]YEAH!Scene Three - Café Nervosa. The following afternoon Frasier is drinking a coffee in the café with Roz when Niles enters and sits withhim.Niles: Frasier, how funny running into you here.Frasier: I'm always here.Niles: Yes well, you weren't here twenty minutes ago: have you seen today's\"Times\"?Frasier: [knowing what's coming:] No.Niles: Lucky for you I saved you this copy. Take a look at Derek Mann's column.Frasier: You know, this is thesecond time in as many days that you have given me a paper. Have you ever considered getting yourself a route?Niles: [to Roz:] Hello, I don't believe we'vemet.Roz: Yes we have, Niles, three or four times. Roz Doyle.Niles: Oh, of course. It was at the... it was during the... well, I'm far too successful to feel awkward.Where did we meet?Roz: The radio station.Niles: Ah, I'll take your word for it. Nice to see you again. [then, to Frasier:] Mr. Mann heard your programyesterday.Frasier: So I see. [reading:] \"Yesterday afternoon, Dr. Frasier Crane got on my case for not giving him a point by point criticism of his radio show. Well,he asked for it, so here goes.\"Roz: [noticing:] Oh my god, his entire column is about your show.Niles: Not very flattering either. Towards the end he even attacksyour \"dimwitted sidekick call screener.\"Roz: [appalled:] That's me!Niles: Oh, now I remember you!Frasier: [reading:] \"It's hard to say what I hate most aboutCrane's show - his pompous, sanctimonious style, his constant self- congratulatory references to his own life, or his voice: a mock- sympathetic tone so sicklysweet one wonders if the man graduated from medical school or from some mind-controlling cult.\"Niles: It's continued on twelve.Frasier: I've readenough!Waiter: [asking:] Can I get you something?Frasier: [to Niles:] How can the man think something like that?Waiter: It's my job, I'm a waiter.Frasier: Wedon't want anything, thank you.Roz: Frasier, I know this stinks, but in a couple of days it'll blow over.Frasier: Oh, perhaps you're right. As angry as it makes me,to retaliate would be to stoop to his level. So the best response is no response at all.[SCENE_BREAK]Scene Four - Radio Station. Soon after these comments he isalready shouting into his microphone about the recent newspaper report.Frasier: [angry:] \"Pompous and sanctimonious,\" am I?! Well, this Mann character can'teven write grammatical sentences! Every five words there's one of his precious \"dot, dot, dots.\" Must be because he likes writing all those dots with the crayon hewrites this drivel in!Roz, who looks like she has been listening to him rant for quite a while, tries to steer him back to the show.Roz: Dr. Crane, on line two wehave Stewart who's having a problem with delayed gratification.Frasier: Well, he's just going to have to wait! I don't know who this Derek Mann thinks he is, butif he thinks he can hide behind his newspaper like some sniveling schoolchild cowering behind a tree, then I say let's expose this Derek Mann forwhat he is: not aman at all, but half a man! [to Roz:] Now what line did you say Stewart was on?Roz: He hung up.Frasier: Well, I'm leaving all sorts of bodies in my wake today."}

Vaughn takes a cutting knife out. The sound made is loud and crisp, and Sydney has a weird look onher face again.SYDNEY: Wait a minute, don't tell me you cook.VAUGHN: (A smile on his face) There are a lot of things about me you don't know.SYDNEY: Youclean, too? (She's still looking through the grocery bag)VAUGHN: I've been known to. Why, you thinking about hiring me?SYDNEY: Why would I hire you when Iget you for free?VAUGHN: (small laugh) Are you taking a bath?SYDNEY: (She walks behind him) Maybe. (There's a somewhat cheeky look on her face) Maybewe're gonna take a bath. Close up shot of Vaughn cutting the broccoli. He accidentally cuts his finger.VAUGHN: Ah, damn it. Sydney rushes over immediately, alook of concern etched on her face.SYDNEY: You okay?VAUGHN: Yeah, I'm fine. (Sydney takes his hand to inspect the wound)SYDNEY: Let me see. (She appliespressure to it)VAUGHN: It's nothing.SYDNEY: Not nothing. (They look at each other and Vaughn looks pleased at her concern.) Scene changes. The backgroundmusic now sounds like it's coming from the radio. We get another closeup of their hands, and this time Sydney is putting a bandaid over the wound. Vaughn looksat her and smiles a little, and she puts his finger to her mouth and kisses it.SYDNEY: Here you go. All better.VAUGHN: You're gonna make a great mom.SYDNEY:Yeah, maybe. The statement seemed to have hit a raw nerve. She stands up, presumably to place the bandaid box to its place and in front of the mirroragain.SYDNEY: Just that, my mom wasn't exactly the best role model.VAUGHN: Well the good news is that, you're nothing like your mother. Suddenly a warpedvoice in a voice over.VOICEOVER: You're not there yet, Sydney. She looks up in mild shock, then meets the eyes of Vaughn.SYDNEY: Did you hear that?VAUGHN:What. (It was almost as if it was a statement and not an answer...)SYDNEY: Radio.VOICEOVER: You need to go further back. Follow VaughnVAUGHN: It's just theradio, Syd. If you don't like it we can turn it off. She seems to like that idea a lot.SYDNEY: That's right. Vaughn switches off the radio, then smiles.VAUGHN: Howabout a nice bottle of wine with this bath?SYDNEY: That would be great. Vaughn walks away, and Sydney looks in the mirror again. This time, she is shocked bywhat she sees. Something odd is reflected; a blue hue. Sydney sees herself being held on a chair with electrodes stuck to her forehead and she squints. Thescene changes into the actual scene of her being tortured for information. The camera view is now a mesh of colours which focuses slightly, and as it pans itoccurs that we're looking through Sydney's eyes: She sees a doctor.SYDNEY: Who are you?DOCTOR: Shh. Syd, sit still. We're almost there, Sydney. He takes asyringe.DOCTOR: We almost have what we need. We just need to go a little further. Sydney squints and looks utterly confused. She sees him sucking liquid intothe syringe and asks.SYDNEY: What are you doing to me?DOCTOR: Nothing for you to worry about. I'm just trying to help you relax.SYDNEY: Why? What do youwant? (The doctor shushes her)DOCTOR: I just need to find a vein... A distorted voice fills the room.DISTORTED VOICE: Stop. Are you certain this won't harm thebaby?DOCTOR: Quite certain.SYDNEY: (almost as if getting out of a stupor) Wait, the baby... don't...DOCTOR: (towards the one-side mirror) But if you want youranswer you're going to need to let me do my job.SYDNEY: Who is that behind there? Who's behind there?DISTORTED VOICE: Okay, you may proceed.SYDNEY: Ifyou hurt my baby... (he sticks the syringe in) I swear to you... (tears stream down her cheeks) I will kill you. We see the view from Sydney's eyes again, and thedoctor gets blurred. End of scene.SAN FR[A]NCISCO2 DAYS EARLIERExt. Rain is pouring down and camera pans to a woman serving noodles.WOMAN: You like?We see Peyton at the receiving end.PEYTON: Yes, I like very much!WOMAN: It's nice to see girl like you eating noodle. My granddaughter, she tell me, 'too manycarbs!' Peyton smiles politely and barely eats two mouthfuls of noodles before the door rings open. A man in a suit walks through the door and she jumps on herfeet.PEYTON: Thank you! I'm late for a date!WOMAN: Okay! Bye bye! She rushes off and catches up with the man in the suit through the rain.PEYTON: Excuseme, Mister! Thank god, I'm supposed to meet some friends in the [Mission?] district. My cab driver from Oackland just dropped me off here and zoomed off. I -I've been trying to find a cab, and no one here seems to...MAN: There's a stand two blocks over the right.PEYTON: Thank you! He turns to walk away and shecalls him again.PEYTON: Oh, do you know what time it is? He comes back and looks at his watch.MAN: Yeah, it's - (she stabs him and blood spews out from hismouth)PEYTON: Nice watch. (She pulls the knife out and places him against the wall, rummaging through his pockets and takes his watch off, looking furtivelyaround (Because, like, there isn't anybody on that street, you know.) and walks away) She walks quickly through the same door and walks up the stairs, fiddlingwith the watch which is now on her wrist. Stopping at a door, she pushes three knobs up and gets green light, then placing the wristwatch on asensor.ACCESSING...AGENT ZACHARY TURNERACCESS GRANTEDThe door opens and she enters the room, stopping at the nearest desk. There is another agentat his own desk.AGENT: Again Turner? You'll miss your plane. Peyton types.AGENT MICHAEL VAUGHNAGENT: You missed that pickup in Cartagena, I'm gonnahear it from the Director.She presses enter while looking at the other agent, worried. Lots of technical effects before the screen stops at SERVER 4 SLOT 29. Theagent turns around just as she walks towards server 4 presumably.AGENT: What did you forget this time? He gets up and looks, while the camera pans to Peytonlooking for the server - still - and finally reaching it. The agent looks at the computer (still beeping away) and Peyton takes a handdrill to loosen the screws of slot29. He walks the way of server 4; and Peyton continues to loosen the remaining screws. The agent finally reaches the spot - Peyton isn't there anymore. He startsto walk away, then looks at slot 29: it's open, so he walks towards it... Peyton jumps from behind and strangles him with a cord, asphyxiating him. She kicks himin the calf and he goes down on his knees, and she tightens the cord. He struggles... then dies. Peyton retrieves the data, puts it in her handbag and leaves,taking a last look at the dead agent.Cut to outside. The first agent she killed is still propped up against the wall... Then slumps to the wet ground. Nice noodlewoman comes around.WOMAN: Mister! You okay?! Peyton walks through that same door again, one ear against her cellphone.PEYTON: This is agent 4962 Bravo.Requesting for technician. Cuts to DeSantis in his office.DESANTIS: This is he.PEYTON: Dr. DeSantis, this is Kelly Peyton.DESANTIS (VO): Were you able toretrieve Agent Vaughn's files?Peyton: Yes. I'm exiting Chao Ke Street now. Camera pans to nice noodle woman who exclaims in anguish as she pokes at the deadagent.(the background sounds of the woman screaming)PEYTON: I'll run the analysis in the attaché (?)DESANTIS: Excellent. I'll let our benefactors know.(Referring to the background sound) What is that noise?PEYTON: You know how it is. Rough neighbourhood.She clips the phone off. Off the camera, we see herwalking away and the dead agent is still lying on the ground; the background sounds still filled with screams and shouts...Cut to the Alias Theme(Or now is thetime in Alias when we (used to, until the episode!) dance!)Camera pans over a nice shot of the skyscrapers of LA.(camera cuts to the interior of a hospital. Thedoctor leads the way and Jack is in front of Sydney)(Voiceover) DOCTOR LYNN: After your initial triage and check-in, we'll bring you up here into the labouringand delivery room.SYDNEY: So this is where I'll be getting my epidural.DOCTOR LYNN: Yes, it is. (she laughs lightly) If you want one.SYDNEY: I do. I'm - I'm nota big fan of pain.JACK: Are there any adjustments Sydney should be making to her life style? I'm sure her boss at the bank would be (he pauses slightly) happyto lighten her workload.DOCTOR LYNN: No, she's fine. I tell mothers staying active for as long as they can is a good thing.They stop in the middle of theward.DOCTOR LYNN: You must be excited. Won't be much longer now.SYDNEY: Oh no, the due date's still three weeks away.DOCTOR LYNN: Sure it is, but younever know. Your baby might be in a hurry. You're far enough along (camera cuts to Sydney's slightly shocked expression) if your water broke today we couldexpect a healthy delivery. (Sydney nods)SYDNEY: Wow, I, uh I didn't know that. (Doctor's pager beeps)DOCTOR LYNN: My service. I need to run. (she smiles atSydney) I'll see you next week for your check-up. Sydney seems overwhelmed, but nods anyway.SYDNEY: Okay. They start walking out of the ward. Cut to Jack'sslightly humoured expression:JACK: So, any day.SYDNEY: Well she said it could be any day. (she shrugs it off, but her expression on her face remains slightlysurprised) They stop at the nursery, and the camera pans on a baby. His father is looking at him lovingly, and the camera pans back on Sydney's forlornexpression. Jack looks at Sydney awkwardly, then reaches into his pocket.JACK: I have something for you.SYDNEY: What? He hands her a little wrapped gift andshe looks surprised.SYDNEY: A gift?JACK: Technically, no (she starts pulling at the ribbon), it's already yours. I'm just... returning it. She opens it, all the whilesharing a smile on his face. It's a little rattler.JACK: Your mother and I bought it when you were born. You wouldn't let it out of your sight 'til you're almost three.Reminds me of the time when I could keep you safe. (Sydney is full of gratitude, then of sadness)SYDNEY: It's beautiful, Dad, thank you. Scene cuts to APO.Marshall is doing some soldering work. Grace walks in.GRACE: You wanted to see me?MARSHALL: Oh, yeah, hey! Agent Grace! (he puts the soldering pen downand then takes his protective glasses on) Listen, I was doing some housekeeping: logging aliases, uh, safe house authorisation, family contacts. You know. The"}

I cannot make out theactual words sorry. we see the hospital doors open and paramedics rushing a stretcher inside, there is a bright light so its difficult to see everything - all thetalking in this scene is very echoey, and distant. it's very reflective of the situation. there are also a few voiceovers from 224, which I think were donegreat!)Paramedic: I got a gun shot wound exited the right clavicle, punctured an artery(we see a close up of Trey, and the other paramedic is holding a breathingthing over his mouth. a doctor comes down the corridor, putting a gown on)Dr: he still aliveParamedic: not for longV.O Ryan: how could you man...I would'a doneanything for you(we see Trey kind of moving his head a little, then we see the ceiling of the hospital as if we are seeing what Trey is seeing. we then see Ryan &Marissa coming in through the hospital doors, they both look worried and scared)V.O Trey: look man, it was messed up, I was stoned(an officer comes into theshot and walks over to Ryan and Marissa as they are coming in)Officer: we've still got some more questions for you(Ryan walks passed the officer and overtowards Trey)Ryan: I've jus gotta see if he's gonna be ok(we see Trey, still with the breathing thing over his mouth, being pushed away. there is another voiceover here but its at the same time as the next line so I cant tell what it is, its possibly a scream/cry from Marissa)Marissa: (worried, to a nurse) he's not gonnadie, right(behind Marissa we see Seth and Summer enter, they both look worried as well, and they are looking in the direction of Marissa/Ryan/Trey. behind themwe can see the ambulance Trey came out of)V.O Ryan: it wasn't my idea Trey, I didn't wanna steal that car(we see another shot of Trey, which is a close up of hisbloody face, and a little of his chest. here we see a bit of the hospital roof and light, but also blended into it is the scene where Trey pulled the gun on Ryan at hisapartment in 224. its been done similar to how we saw the Ryan/Marissa 'who are you' scene during the Ryan/Lindsay car conversation of 208 . its a blink andyou'll miss it deal :))V.O Trey: hey man I went away for it an uh you got the good lifeV.O Ryan: so you had to destroy it, you had to hurt her, huh(the last thingwe see is Trey pointing the gun at Ryan, then we see the hospital light again and Trey being rushed down the corridor. Ryan comes around the corner, behindTrey, the doctor and the paramedics)Ryan: hey, he's my brother, is he gonna be okDr: he'd be better if someone hadn't shot him(the Dr and paramedics movethe stretcher closer to the bed, nurses are also there)Dr: he's lost alot of blood so (turns around and sees Ryan) Jesus what the hell happened'a youRyan: (looksat Dr) nothing I'm fineDr: (yells) could someone look at this kid(Ryan turns away from the Dr and everything goes blurry)Officer: just as soon as we're donetalking to him(we see a close up of Ryan, and he has a noticeable bruise, and bloody nose, he also looks out of it. he looks away from the officer and back atTrey. we see Trey being moved over to the bed, then someone squeezing the breathing thing over his mouth. we then see Marissa and Summer standing togethernear the hospital doors, an officer is with them)Marissa: (yells) Ryan(Ryan turns to face Marissa, she puts her hand out to Ryan helplessly)Officer: (holding thegun) did you discharge this weapon manMarissa: (looks at officer, frustrated) yes I already t-Ryan: (yells urgently) don't answer him, don't say anything(theofficer near Ryan looks over towards Marissa, shocked. Marissa looks at Ryan and shrugs. the background goes out of focus, Seth comes into the shot clearly onthe right hand side)Seth: you ok (Ryan looks at him)Dr: we're losing him(Ryan turns towards where they are working on Trey. we see a very quick flashback ofTrey and Ryan, then we see them still working on Trey, squeezing the breathing thing. Ryan looks away from Trey and back towards Seth, dazed. we see howRyan is seeing, which is Seth as wavy, then squashed/ stretched)Seth: you alright(Ryan looks at Seth, blinking and breathing heavily. his vision is now borderingon blurry. we can see Marissa out of focus in the background still. Sandy comes through the hospital doors)Sandy: Ryan (Ryan looks at him, still blinking anddazed) Seth...you ok(Ryan is now seeing Sandy as short/fat, and wavy. we see Ryan looking at Sandy & Seth, growing more and more disoriented till he falls andpasses out on the floor. we see what he is seeing as he falls, then we hear the thud and see Ryan on his stomach next to Treys bed. - we then abruptly cut to thepool house where Ryan has jolted himself awake. he blinks and slightly lifts his head, we can see a bit of sun on his cheek. he looks freaked out. he then lifts hishead more and opens his eyes wider. he rubs his hand down his face, and sniffs. we then see Ryan sitting up on his elbow in bed, we can also see a silhouette athis door, and then we hear a knock.

It's 1.000 miles away.Richard: Wehave got to find this road. This is not gonna be too clever in the dark. Listen. I shall find the Southern Cross.Richard: Oh, this is a bad idea! We are now trustingour lives to an orangutang who thinks he's Patrick Moore.James: 24 hours of cold, misery, to achieve exactly nothing. I mean, it is exactly nothing.Richard: Oh,it's coming in!(JEREMY YELLS)This is the best desert I've ever been to. Holy sh1t!Richard: Oh!(YELLS)Jeremy: What it actually is is a big, orange killingengine.Jesus!(LAUGHS)Richard: (LAUGHS) Oh, my God!Please make it! Please! Just need to find a road now. This is not funny any more. I don't want anothernight in the desert. Oh, my God. I could go east, I could go west.Richard: Whichever way you go, it goes somewhere. Yes! It is the road to freedom.(THUD)Whatthe hell was that? What I'm driving here, or attempting to drive, is Apollo 13.Jeremy: It was morning by the time I nursed my wounded car into Windhoek, andmy well-rested colleagues were full of admiration for how I'd pulled off such a feat. Is that the first thing you thought of? What? Tear a hole in it. What's thatgonna do? I needed to get to the bleed valve on the radiator, which is there. Is it? And, to make life doubly difficult... I trod on my spectacles.(RICHARDLAUGHS)That is tragic, trying to fix it with one lens. I was trying to fix it. And the only eye I can close is this eye. You can't close your left eye? I can't close myleft eye. Why didn't you put them on upside down? You'd have the lens over the other eye. That is logic there. Oh, yeah.(LAUGHS)Come on, let's go. We've got alot to do.Jeremy: No! The one thing we have established now is that, with the exception of Windhoek, which is the capital, Namibia is a tough and arduous place.Yeah. Have you bought maps? No. Have you got tenting equipment of any sort? Have you got somewhere to sleep other than the desert floor? No. So why don'twe, today, get prepared for the next leg of the - big leg of the journey? That is a good idea. We'll do that. That's not a bad idea. We'll grant ourselves a day of...shopping. Mm. First of all, would you permit me to chisel some of the cheddar that has grown in my underpants away? Well, not here.Jeremy: Having de-cheesedmy body parts, we headed out to get the necessary supplies.Richard: The thing is, if we go mesh, it'll keep the sun off but it won't keep the light out. That willwake us up early. That's 1.5 kilograms. But- Hammond, the first thing you need to know before we start shopping in here is James and I are in charge.Richard:Well...James: Sorry, he's right. No, you're not. You don't know anything about camping.James, Jeremy: Exactly. How does that make you in charge? Because weknow it's all terrible. If we leave it to you, we'll all end up sleeping in small green triangles. The camping you know about is in the Lake District, where youdeliberately make yourself miserable. I'm sorry, he's right. It is possible, I think, with a bit of ingenuity and money, to make tenting bearable.Jeremy: RichardBaden-Hammond disagreed, so we went our separate ways. Correct, incorrect. Exactly. Do you agree? But I'd go even more correct. Oh, yes! Perfect. Roll it outon the desert floor... you're home. Oh, James! Le Creuset! See, Hammond would hate this, because this weighs more than a tent. Which it does, actually. A lotmore. And it weighs more because it is a quality item. Exactly. Pocket trowel. Pocket soap. Here we go. Pasta spoon. Yeah, good idea. I find that bottle opener abit... lightweight. Yeah, more expensive is what we're looking for. You see, look at this, James. This is the sort of thing Hammond would think is a chair. Ooh!That's all you need. That's your whole... stove. That's it. Is it gas? It is, isn't it? I presume so. For two, you could get a small chicken in there, or... a pheasant.We're getting there now. So that folds down to that. Yeah.Jeremy: The next morning, we headed out once more, with the camping gear James and I had boughtbringing up the rear. And besides stocking up with essentials, Hammond and I had used our day off in Windhoek to modify our cars. To solve my overheatingproblems, I've fitted a ram-air scoop, which shovels refreshing, cooling air into the radiator as I go along. And, as you may have noticed, I've fitted a spoiler. Myonly complaint, really, about my beach buggy was its lack of performance in third and fourth gears. Couldn't up power from the engine and I don't want to stressit, so I could lighten it. I've stripped away the superstructure here and the passenger seat, anything spare. That means this car is 30-40 kilos lighter than it wasbefore. Jeremy, why has your car sprouted a green moustache?Jeremy: Well, it's a spoiler for added downforce at the front end, which you need in a rear-enginevehicle. This thing will be unbelievable through the corners now, it really will. Like a 911. And I tell you what, even with your new lightweight buggy, you're nomatch for what I've got here this morning. Yeah, I'm sorry, mate. This is quicker. It is not. It is. Right, Richard Hammond, I challenge you to a race. OK, you'reon. Idiot.Jeremy: We shall find a race track and we shall do racing. Well, you carry on. I'm not doing any racing. That's utterly pointless.Jeremy: On the outskirtsof the city, we found a rather excellent circuit where we could do timed laps, and James could try out his new vacuum cleaner.(VACUUM WHIRS)James: Oh,yes.Are you ready? No. Why not? Temperatures and pressures. This is a racing machine. Look at it. It's a plastic beach buggy parked near a V8. With aero.Really? In...(REVVING)...three, two, one, go!(REVVING STOPS)Yeah, I'm gonna do it in gear. Give it a shot. I'm gonna try that. In- No! Throttle's jammed. Yes.(STAMMERS) Jammed. In- No! You can keep saying \"in\" till the cows come home. The throttle...(VACUUMING, JAMES HUMS TUNES)(REVVING)Three, two, one,begin!(BOTH YELL)Why... Why have you stopped? Ah. Well, erm...(ENGINE STOPS)The throttle may have gone a bit open.(IGNITION FAILS)Yeah. My throttle istotally broken. Anyway, Hammond... Yeah? Any car which can wheelie off the line... is going to be able to beat yours, and would have done. So... Sorry. You'resaying because your car started, well, 50 yards away over there, wheelied, was uncontrollable, slammed back down and broke itself, it's the best on thetrack?Jeremy: Yes. Well, much learned. Really useful. Glad we did it.Richard: With Jeremy's endlessly troublesome car fixed again, we scooped up James' Dysonand continued northwards towards the finish line at the border with Angola. The going was smooth and easy and eerily quiet, which begged a question. Now,apparently, Namibia is the most dangerous place in the world to drive. There are more accidents per head then anywhere else, and car accidents are the first andmost common cause of death in young adults. How? How can that be so? I mean... the place is empty. In Britain, there are 250-260 people for every squarekilometre. Here... it's two. Two! This makes the Australian outback look like Monaco. Monkey! Monkey! Huge anus! Did you see that thing's anus?James: I,however, was not thinking about population statistics or monkeys' bottoms. I was just happy to be on a smooth surface in a car that wasn't filled with dust. I shallrelax... with the lovely view. Sadly, though, a few miles later...(RATTLING)Ow! Ow! Oh, my nuts! Ow!(GROANS)Stop it! Ow! Ow! Agh! James May? Yes, I canhear you, but it's very uncomfortable and my car has... has cut out.James: Ow!Jeremy: Mercifully for James, we eventually arrived at a game reserve, which wedecided would be an ideal place to set up camp for the night.(UNZIPPING)Richard: Right.(CHUCKLES)That's what we need.Jeremy: As Hammond built his canvashovel... James and I were looking forward to a more civilised evening in the tents we'd bought, and which had been erected by the butler we'd alsobought.James: Thank you, Giovanni. Tuck your shirt in, man! It's not a bloody caravan site. Erm... I'm just thinking, dinner. Mm. Do you mind if I get changed?No, exactly. I'm gonna have a shower. Mm. Or I may have a bath, actually. Why not? Giovanni, could you run the baths?Jeremy: Apparently, this place has gotoysters. Really? Here? Yeah. I know, it's extraordinary. Who knew? Are you coming for some dinner?Richard: What do you mean, \"Coming for dinner\"? I'mcooking here. There's a restaurant just down there. A restaurant? Yeah, just down there. I don't want to go. I'm cooking this. I'm doing it properly, camping.Well, come and- I'll join you after dinner.Jeremy: Whatever.James: He's such a peasant, isn't he?Jeremy: It's just unbelievable.(METALLIC CLANGING)Jeremy:That evening in the restaurant, Hammond never did join us.But James and I were not short of company. Oh, look, there's rhinos! There's actual rhinos! Andthey've been dehorned. They've had to take its horn out to stop poachers shooting it. But you know what the poachers are doing? They shoot the dehorned ones,because if they track for a couple of days, a rhino, and then it's got no horn, they shoot it, and then they'll never track it again, so it saves time. Do you knowhow much you get for a rhino horn now? On the... On the market? Yeah, in Vietnam. I'm guessing it's a lot.[SCENE_BREAK]So that's more expensive than gold.Good God. Even the nub that's left that he's got is still worth, I don't know, thousands of dollars. I was gonna say, no matter how carefully you dehorn it, there'sstill horn going down into its nose.Jeremy: That's such a tragedy, that, you know.James: Yeah. I want to do something about this while we're here. I'm sure wecould come up with something. I'm sure we could.[SCENE_BREAK]Richard: The next morning, I woke to find I'd been recruited into the Clarkson and May RhinoProtection Squad.They were even convinced that our beach buggies would be ideal for tracking the poachers. I can't deny, they do have a point about the wholerhino thing. It is ridiculous. Two rhinos killed every day in Africa by poachers, and then sold to a market that believes it's a cure for cancer, impotence, evenhangovers. But are we necessarily the right men to tackle it head-on in the field? Ow! (YELLS) Wouldn't we be better just popping a \u0000coin in a jar and lettingsomebody who knows what they're doing solve it? Well, I've got a tranquilizer gun from the place where we were last night, but... I can't see anyone toshoot.Jeremy: Figuring that the poachers probably didn't use the main road, we went off to look in the bush.James: What about over there?Richard: No poachers.Tyre marks. It may be some poacher. Oh, no, wait. BF Goodriches. This is James May.Richard: Just so you know, this is stupid.Jeremy: What's stupid?Richard:How would you recognise a poacher when you saw one? And when you find one, what are you gonna do? Shoot him. All we're doing on our journey is drivingthree beach buggies to the Angolan border. Yeah. Which doesn't further the cause of humanity.James: Exactly.Richard: And this does, does it? We've got a day,Hammond. Give us 24 hours. 24 hours. Then, I promise, we'll get back on the road.Jeremy: Once our sceptical colleague had agreed, I decided to change tack,abandon the cars and search from the air, using some beach-front parasailing equipment. Jeremy? Yes? If we don't make it, please know that I hate you. There's"}

Don't worry, I was going to order you cheeseless.Leonard: Thank you.Sheldon: That'sokay. Lactose intolerance is nothing to be embarrassed about.Howard: I'm a fancy Indian man, we invented pajamas!Raj: Hey, look at me, I don't have aforeskin.Scene: Sheldon's bedroom.Leonard: Sheldon, are you aware that your sister is an incredibly attractive woman?Sheldon: Hmmm? She certainly has thesymmetry and low body fat that western culture deems desirable. It's noteworth that at other points in history, heavier women were the standard for beautybecause their girth suggested affluence.Leonard: That's fascinating, but I...Sheldon: I didn't say it was fascinating, I said it was noteworthy.Leonard: Alright,noted. But my point is that Koothrappali and Wolowitz... they're hitting on your sister.Sheldon: Oh. Okay. You know, I don't want to criticise your rhetorical stylebut, we'd be a lot further along in this conversation if you'd begun with that thought.Leonard: That's great, but I....Sheldon: What I'm saying is that we took quitean unnecessary detour from what I now understand to be your thesis.Leonard: Whatever. You have to do something about it.Sheldon: Why?Leonard: Becauseshe's your sister.Sheldon: I don't understand. Yes, we shared a uterus for nine months, but since then we've pretty much gone our own separate ways.Leonard:Okay, uh.... oh, consider this. With your father gone, it is your responsibility to make sure that Missy chooses a suitable mate.Sheldon: I hadn't considered that.We do share DNA.Leonard: Uh-huh.Sheldon: So there is the possibility, however remote, that resting in her loins is the potential for another individual asremarkable as myself.Leonard: Exactly. And, you owe it to yourself and to posterity to protect the genetic integrity of your sister's future offspring.Sheldon:You're right. If someone wants to get at Missy's fallopian tubes, they'll have to go through me.[SCENE_BREAK]Scene: The living room. Raj and Howard are on thefloor, fighting.Raj: I am Shiva the destroyer, I will have the woman!Howard: I'm warning you, I was judo champion at math camp.Sheldon: Alright, that's enoughjuvenile squabbling, stop it, stop it I say. I'm going to settle this right now. Neither of you are good enough for my sister.Howard: Who are you to decidethat?Leonard: He's the man of his family, you have to respect his wishes.Sheldon: You're out too, by the way.Leonard: Say what?Sheldon: It's nothing personal,I'd just prefer if my future niece or nephew didn't become flatulent every time they eat an Eskimo pie. Howard (to Raj, who is smiling): What are you so happyabout?Raj: I'm not happy, it's the medication, I can't stop smiling. (Waves hand at mouth. It keeps waving.)Sheldon: Now that Leonard's made me aware of howhigh the genetic stakes are, we have to face the fact that none of you are suitable mates for my sister.Howard: Wait a minute. Leonard made you aware ofthat?Leonard: We all make mistakes, let's move on.Raj: Excuse me, but I think you're missing a big opportunity here.Sheldon: How so?Raj: Everybody knowsgenetic diversity produces the strongest offspring. Why not put a little mocha in the family latte.Sheldon: In principle you have a point, but as a practical matter,need I remind you that it takes experimental pharmaceuticals to simply enable you to speak to the opposite s*x.Raj (waving finger at him): I think you'refocussing entirely too much on the drugs. (Finger keeps waving. Leonard has to reach out and stop it.)Howard: Is it 'cause I'm Jewish, 'cause I'd kill my Rabbiwith a porkchop to be with your sister.Sheldon: This has nothing to do with religion. This has to do with the fact that you're a tiny, tiny man who still lives with hismother.Leonard: Sheldon, you are really being unreasonable.Sheldon: Am I? Here. Eat this cheese without farting and you can sleep with my sister.Missy (whohas just entered): Oh really?Sheldon: Oops.Missy: Shelly, can I speak to you for a minute? Alone?Sheldon: Why does everyone suddenly want to talk to me"}

Roz stands beside him, sorting through papers.Frasier: Oh Roz, I managed to get some reservations at San Gennaro tonight. [standing] I thought we'd go celebrate your birthday.Roz: [looking up] Oh, that is so sweet, but I have a date. With that waiter we met at lunch yesterday.Frasier: [disbelieving] You're going out with that guy?Roz: I didn't have enough for a tip.Frasier: Keep in mind the service wasn't that good. [pause] Well, the reservation won't go to waste. I can always take Niles.Roz: Niles? Again? You know, your entire social life consists of going out with your brother. [pause] Don't you think you're getting into kind of a rut? You're still young! You need to go out and get drunk...Frasier walks around her toward the door of the booth.Roz: [cont'd] Wake up in some stranger's bed and not even remember how you got there.Frasier: [opening door] In other words, exchange my life for yours.Roz: Well, do what you want. But you know what? You could shake up your life every once in a while, do something spur of the moment. Once, I finished work on a Friday and hopped a plane to Acapulco, and I didn't pack anything but my toothbrush.Frasier: Oh, yes, yes, I do remember you calling in sick one Monday morning with a mariachi band in the background.Roz: Well, I was sick.Frasier: Mmm-hmmm. [closes door][SCENE_BREAK]Scene 2 - Int. Frasier's living room at the Elliot Bay TowersDaphne: [opening front door] Oh, Doctor Crane!Niles: Daphne.Niles walks into the apartment to place his coat on the sofa. Daphne closes the door after him. When he turns back toward her, she has turned her back to him. She is wearing a yellow sundress which is unzipped to her lower back.Daphne: Thank God you're here. My zip's stuck.Niles: Oh.Niles walks to her and reaches for the zipper, watching her lower back intently.Niles: Good thing I got here when I did.Daphne: Don't be afraid to grab hold and give it all you've got.Niles: [looking up at the back of her head] Okay.Daphne: Sometimes pulling it down a bit helps.Niles: [looking up again] Okay. [pause] Oh, dear. I've zipped my tie into your dress. It won't come loose.Niles leans down to examine his predicament.Daphne: Oh, let me see! Daphne turns to look, jerking Niles by the tie in the process.Daphne: Oh, I'm sorry! It is stuck, isn't it? Well, maybe some liquid soap from the powder room will loosen it up.Daphne walks to the bathroom, dragging Niles by the tie. He is leaned over, his face very close to her rear - most likely a delightful scenario for him. Just as Daphne has her hand on the knob to the bathroom, Frasier walks in the front door, taking in the scene before him. He stares skeptically for several moments as he closes the door behind him.Frasier: Niles, there's something on your tie.Daphne: [grinning] Doctor Crane was helping me with my dress, and now he's caught.Frasier: Yes, he is. [walks to Daphne, pushing Niles to the side slightly] Allow me. [frees the zipper] Ah, there. All right, there we go.Frasier walks over to hang up her coat, and Daphne walks toward the breakfast table.Daphne: What a relief. I was just about to step right out of this dress and embarrass poor Doctor Crane to death.Niles: Well, we all have to die of something. [gazing longingly]Frasier: Oh Niles, I managed to score some reservations tonight at San Gennaro. You up for a little Italian?Niles: Actually, I'm going out with Maris, so I guess you could say I'm up for a little Episcopalian. [laugh]Frasier: [laughs, walking toward wet bar] Like some sherry?Niles: Yes, thank you.Frasier: So, those counseling session must be going very well.[pouring sherry]Niles: They are! So, tonight, we thought it would be a kick to recreate our very first date.Daphne: [sitting at table] Oh, that's sweet.Martin walks in the front door with Eddie on his leash.Niles: Hey, dad. In fact, that day my car was in the shop, so I'm here to borrow Dad's car just like I did back then. [Frasier hands him his sherry] Just saying that makes me feel so young. \"Gee, Dad, can I borrow the car?\"Martin: You did that twice on the phone, and I didn't find it cute then. [reaching in pocket, pulling out keys] Here you go.Martin tosses his keys to Niles underhanded. However, they sail right by him and are caught by Frasier, who is standing behind him.Frasier: [handing Niles the keys] I just can't picture Maris in Dad's '82 Impala.Niles: Neither could she, at first. I'll never forget the look of wonder on her face at touching vinyl for the first time. She said it made her feel cheap and dirty, and she liked it.[proud] I was her first bad boy. [sits on couch]Frasier: Uh-huh. Yes, I remember the way you used to carry your inhaler around rolled up in the sleeve of your t-shirt. [gesturing to Daphne at the table and Martin coming out of the kitchen] Oh, how about you two? You guys want to join me for dinner tonight?Martin: Oh sorry, Sherry's cooking me dinner tonight.Daphne: And I have a date with Greg.Frasier: Greg? I don't believe I've met him yet.Martin: I have. He's gorgeous. [stares all around] Well, he is.Daphne: He's certainly the best-looking man I've ever been out with. Of course, he doesn't have a thought in that pretty little head of his. [distantly] Hmmm, this could be the one.Martin: [going to sit in chair] But you know, Frasier, maybe I can have Sherry cook for me some other time.Frasier: No, no. You don't have to put yourself out on my account, Dad. [notices answering machine blinking] Oh Dad, did you happen to check this message?Martin: No, I don't touch that thing.Message: [V.O.] Hi, it's Laura. We're getting an extra day of rehearsal, so I'm coming in tonight instead of tomorrow. American, Flight 11, 10:30. Can't wait. Bye!Frasier: Great news, Laura's in town!Niles: Who's Laura?Frasier: A stranger who called my machine by mistake.END OF ACT ONEACT TWOScene 1 - Int. the restaurant - San Gennaro Frasier stands at the maitre 'd's booth in the restaurant, his arm propped against it casually.Frasier: Reservation for Doctor Frasier Crane.Maitre \u0000: From the radio, yes?Frasier: Yes. Ooh, actually my date canceled, so it'll just be me.Maitre \u0000: I see, sir. [lowers voice] Table for one.Frasier: There is no need to lower your voice. I'm not ashamed to dine alone. eally, as a man of some celebrity, I can serve as a symbol to others who might otherwise be afraid to do so. I mean, really it's okay, it's actually even preferable to sit and dine alone rather than listen to someone who's too much in love with his own voice prattle on endlessly.Maitre \u0000: Well, you convinced me, sir. I'll see if your table's ready.The Maitre 'D leaves the room, and Frasier is left alone, looking decidedly less comfortable.Maitre \u0000: [loudly] Doctor Crane? Your table for one is ready.He holds a menu out for Frasier, who takes it and slinks to his table, which is positioned right in the center of the room.Frasier: Uh, listen, is it possible to move to... to have a table elsewhere? I feel just a bit conspicuous right here.Waiter: I'm very sorry, sir, but they're all reserved. But don't worry, most of our patrons only have eyes for each other.Frasier: Very well.Frasier sits. The waiter begins to fix the place setting, clinking glasses together very loudly. Other diners begin to look at the table.Waiter: I'm so sorry, sir.Frasier: Perfectly all right. Just because I'm alone doesn't mean I'm lonely. Perhaps I could have a glass of your house cabernet.A young boy approaches as Frasier fixes his napkin in his lap.Johnny: Hi.Frasier: Hello. What's your name?Johnny: Johnny. How come nobody's sitting with you?Frasier: Well, that's a bit complicated, Johnny.Johnny: My mom and dad said it's okay if you come sit with us.Frasier: Oh, well, that's a very... very sweet offer, and I know it's hard for a young boy to understand, but really, there's nothing wrong with someone eating by himself.Johnny: You know, one time I was really bad at school and the teacher made me eat lunch all by myself.Frasier: Oh, well that gave you an opportunity to think about your actions, didn't it?Johnny: Nope. I just cried.Frasier: [rolls eyes] Run along, Johnny.Johnny leaves. The waiter approaches.Waiter: Your glass of cabernet, sir.Frasier: Oh, thank you.Waiter: Oh, and I see your candle has gone out. [shouts] Enrico![claps loudly]Frasier: Please, stop! Tonight, I'd prefer to just... dine in the shadows, thank you.An attractive woman approaches.Woman: Excuse me. Are you here by yourself?Frasier: As a matter of fact I am, yes.Woman: I was hoping you'd say that! Would you mind if I -[gestures at the other chair at the table]Frasier: Oh, good Lord, yes. I've actually been sitting here hoping somebody would- [realization passing over him] make good use of that chair.As the woman takes the chair away...Amanda: AAAHHHH! [jumps up] Of course I'll marry you!The scream has startled Frasier, who spills his cabernet all over his shirt.Ethan: Oh, sorry for the commotion, folks. [notices spilled wine, walks over] Oh, gosh, is that our fault? Listen, let me pay for the dry cleaning!Frasier: Oh, not to worry, not to worry.Maitre \u0000: Congratulations, you two! Here's to young love!Husband: [standing with his wife] Well, as long as we're all sharing good news, my wife just told me that we're having twins.Ethan: Now that I've already interrupted all of your meals, I'd just like to share my joy with everyone here. [gazes at his fiance] To Amanda, my future bride, I will love you every day of my life, and I hope that, when we die, it's at the exact same moment so that neither of us will have to spend even one second alone again.Everyone applauds, including Frasier, but VERY grudgingly. He looks around, frowns, thinks a bit, and finally stands and walks over to Johnny's table.Frasier: Hi, um, Johnny said I could eat with you.[SCENE_BREAK]LOVE AMONG THE RUINSScene 2 - Int. Frasier's living room at the Elliot Bay Towers. Frasier walks in the front door of his apartment. Martin and Daphne are sitting at the breakfast table.Martin: Hey, Fras, how was your dinner?Frasier: [walking slowly behind the couch] Not since Quasimodo strolled the streets of medieval Paris have so many people uttered the phrase, \"That poor man.\"Daphne: I'm sure it wasn't as bad as all that.Frasier: Oh? [opens his overcoat to reveal his red shirt and tie]Daphne: Oh, dear.Frasier: [walks to hang up his overcoat] The height of the evening came when the entire staff of waiters delivered the birthday cake that I'd ordered for Roz and neglected to cancel. [pause] They sang to me. [walks over to lean against Martin's chair]Martin: It's not your birthday.Frasier: Staying right with the story as usual, Dad. Anyway, after dinner I took a long stroll, and it suddenly struck me: I'm single. I'd gotten accustomed to thinking of myself as recently divorced, but that was five years ago. I'm forty- three, and I'm alone.Martin: Hey! [stands and walks to kitchen] I have something that'll cheer you up. I brought you some of Sherry's mock apple pie. [comes out] It's called \"mock\" cause they uses crackers instead of apples.Frasier: Good! [doorbell; Frasier walks to answer door] Nothing spoils an apple pie like apples. [opening door] Oh, Niles.Niles: Frasier! Oh, what happened?Frasier: Well-Niles: No, let me guess. [leans in] Robust color, fruity bouquet. I'd say that's an amusing little merlot.Frasier: Cabernet. [closes door]Niles: [walking past him] Oh. Well, it's still amusing.Daphne: So, did you and Mrs. Crane enjoy recreating your first date?Niles: [standing behind chair at the breakfast table; very excited] Oh yes, my Maris remembered details that I'd "}

They only threaten the Doctor.[SCENE_BREAK]MAWDRYN: We didnot know that our experiments would bring endless mutation.DOCTOR: You have the regenerator, the facilities of the laboratory. Continue your experiments, findhow to reverse the process.MAWDRYN: We have known for many years that the process is irreversible.MUTANT: We have experimented for centuries.MUTANT 2:We have tried to discover a remedy.MUTANT: There is no remission.MAWDRYN: Only you, as a Time Lord, can help us.[SCENE_BREAK]TURLOUGH: Hello,Brigadier.BRIG '77: Who the devil are you?[SCENE_BREAK]DOCTOR: I cannot do what you ask.MAWDRYN: You cannot refuse.DOCTOR: I must.MAWDRYN: So beit, Doctor. Leave now, with your friends. But accept the consequences of your actions.NYSSA: What does he mean?DOCTOR: I don't know.BRIG '83: Back to theTARDIS?[SCENE_BREAK]BRIG '77: So you're Turlough? Yes, Tegan told me about you.TURLOUGH: I've come to take you to the Doctor.BRIG '77: The Doctor?You know where he is?TURLOUGH: Of course. Come on.BRIG '77: Not so fast. Keep in the shadows. We have some disagreeable fellow passengers.TURLOUGH:They're harmless.BRIG '77: That remains to be seen.[SCENE_BREAK]MUTANT: The Doctor was our only hope.MUTANT 2: He must not be allowed toescape.MAWDRYN: My friends, do not despair. The Doctor will soon return. And of his own free will.[SCENE_BREAK]DOCTOR: You see, Brigadier, thanks to yourimperfect memory there is now a Lethbridge Stewart some six years your junior at loose in this ship.BRIG '83: Good heavens. You mean that I did go with Nyssaand Tegan in the TARDIS in 1977?TEGAN: And were we glad of the company.[SCENE_BREAK]BRIG '77: This Doctor, what does he look like?TURLOUGH: Olderthan me, younger than you.BRIG '77: No, I mean, is he normal?TURLOUGH: Of course.BRIG '77: So, that deformed creature in the TARDIS was animposter.TURLOUGH: Exactly.[SCENE_BREAK]TURLOUGH: Doctor, the Brigadier's here.BRIG '77: Doctor?BRIG '77: Turlough, what are you upto?[SCENE_BREAK]BRIG '77 (OOV.): Turlough![SCENE_BREAK]TEGAN: No sign of Turlough.BRIG '83: I never trusted that boy.NYSSA: He must be heresomewhere.DOCTOR: Well, I hope so, because I've got to get the TARDIS away from here.NYSSA: And separate the two Brigadiers.BRIG '83: Ah, now, hang on aminute. I've been thinking about that.DOCTOR: There isn't time to think, Brigadier.BRIG '83: Doctor, we are talking about six years of my life.DOCTOR: Well,you're perfectly all right in 1983. Obviously your 1977 self came to no physical harm.BRIG '83: Well, maybe not, but I don't want to have spent a year or two inlimbo on this ship.NYSSA: Look.DOCTOR: Stay here, all of you.[SCENE_BREAK]DOCTOR: Turlough, listen very carefully. We have a problem with theBrigadier.TURLOUGH: What is it?DOCTOR: The two time zones. The Brigadier did go with Tegan and Nyssa. There are now two Lethbridge Stewarts on thisship.TURLOUGH: I understand.DOCTOR: Now, I will take the Brigadier in the TARDIS back to 1983 Earth.TURLOUGH: And me?DOCTOR: You must find the otherBrigadier and take him to the transmat capsule. You'll be quite safe, the mutants won't harm you.TURLOUGH: But the transmat beam doesn't work.DOCTOR: Itwill. The capsule is locked into the TARDIS' homing device. It will transmat to the centre of the TARDIS. I wired the device myself.TURLOUGH: Ofcourse.DOCTOR: Now, when you arrive, whatever you do, stay in the capsule. Don't let the Brigadier out until I give you the word. Now,quickly.[SCENE_BREAK]NYSSA: Will the mutants really travel for the rest of time?DOCTOR: I'm afraid so.NYSSA: That's terrible.DOCTOR: Sometimes you have tolive with the consequences of your actions. Now, let's get away from here.[SCENE_BREAK]MUTANT: The Time Lord has left us.MUTANT 2: Can we be certain hewill return?MAWDRYN: He will return.[SCENE_BREAK]DOCTOR: It takes a remarkably cunning set of the coordinates to clear a warp ellipse.TEGAN:Doctor?DOCTOR: This is a temperamental old thing, but I'm getting remarkably good at sortingNYSSA: Doctor, something's happening.DOCTOR: Not at all. We'reon course for the Brigadier's school. You see, there was a problem withBRIG '83: Doctor!NYSSA: Doctor, do something.BRIG '83: What on Earth ishappening?DOCTOR: I don't know.BRIG '83: It's like Mawdryn in the laboratory.DOCTOR: Mawdryn? That's it! They've been contaminated.TEGAN: Doctor, dosomething.DOCTOR: No, don't touch them. The transfiguration can be controlled.NYSSA: Stop!DOCTOR: Stop. That's it. Travelling through time is acceleratingthe degeneration.BRIG '83: You've stopped the TARDIS?DOCTOR: Well, more than that. We're going back to where we started. I just hope it induces aproportional remission.BRIG '83: It's working.DOCTOR: Are you two all right?NYSSA: I think so.TEGAN: Doctor, what went wrong?BRIG '83: Look at them outthere. I'll bet they knew this was going to happen.[SCENE_BREAK]MUTANT: The Time Lord has returned, as you predicted.MAWDRYN: The Doctor is not with usyet. He will not give up so easily.[SCENE_BREAK]DOCTOR: You were infected when you carried Mawdryn into the TARDIS. The journey to his ship would havemade it worse.TEGAN: Infected? You mean their mutation is a disease?DOCTOR: Well, it shouldn't be. I can only assume their constant experimenting to correcttheir error brought about a viral side effect.BRIG '83: Well, why haven't we got it?DOCTOR: I don't know.NYSSA: So we can't time travel.TEGAN: We don't needto. All we need to do is get the TARDIS back to Earth.DOCTOR: That won't work. I've got to programme a temporal deviation to escape the warp ellipse.BRIG '83:Are we stuck on this ship?DOCTOR: I wonder. If I reverse the polarity of the neutron flow[SCENE_BREAK]BRIG '77: So, you've stopped pretending to be theDoctor.MAWDRYN: The Doctor is in the TARDIS.BRIG '77: What?MUTANT 2: This man also is in the TARDIS.MUTANT: He is a deviant.MUTANT 2: There has beentemporal duplication.MAWDRYN: The TARDIS will soon return. The imbalance could be cataclysmic. For your own safety you must return to the Earth atonce.BRIG '77: Without the TARDIS?MAWDRYN: Quickly.[SCENE_BREAK]BRIG '83: So far so good.DOCTOR: Oh, no.BRIG '83: But nothing's happening.DOCTOR:Oh yes, it is.[SCENE_BREAK]MAWDRYN: You will return to Earth immediately in the transmat capsule.BRIG '77: How the deuce do you expect me toMAWDRYN:Get in.BRIG '77: Look, if you think I'm trusting myself to this baubleMAWDRYN: The capsule is programmed for Earth. Quickly.[SCENE_BREAK]NYSSA JR: It's nogood, Doctor.DOCTOR: We're travelling in the opposite direction out of the ellipse. It's having a reverse effect.TEGAN JR: Stop! Stop!DOCTOR: Someone's tryingto operate the transmat capsule. Must be Turlough taking your other half to the centre of the TARDIS.BRIG '83: Can the capsule do that?DOCTOR: Only when theTARDIS is clear of the ship. Until that happens, the transmat can't take place. The capsule will return to its terminal.DOCTOR: It's no good. I can't get clear of theship without hurting Nyssa and Tegan.NYSSA: What are we going to do?[SCENE_BREAK]GUARDIAN (OOV.): You have failed me!TURLOUGH: No.GUARDIAN(OOV.): The Brigadier is still free.TURLOUGH: That's not my fault.GUARDIAN (OOV.): Why did you not transport him in the capsule, as the Doctorinstructed.TURLOUGH: The Doctor? But I'm supposed to be working against him.GUARDIAN (OOV.): Imbecile! Why should you not profit by the Time Lord'scunning?TURLOUGH: I'm sorry.GUARDIAN (OOV.): So near the annihilation of the Doctor and you risk all with your negligence and stupidity.TURLOUGH: I canstill keep the two Lethbridge Stewarts apart.GUARDIAN (OOV.): If you fail me again, I shall destroy you.[SCENE_BREAK]TEGAN: We can't stay in the TARDIS forever.BRIG '83: Well, Doctor?[SCENE_BREAK]NYSSA: You knew that would happen.MAWDRYN: Yes, Nyssa.NYSSA: You infected us. You passed on the mutativepattern.MAWDRYN: Yes, but not deliberately.TEGAN: What happens to us now?MAWDRYN: You will remain in the ship.TEGAN: For the rest of ourlives?MAWDRYN: You're fortunate. Your journey will be short. Ours is without end.BRIG '83: We are not leaving them on this ship.MAWDRYN: Take them with youin the TARDIS and they will die.BRIG '83: Are you telling me that with all the facilities on this ship, you can't come up with some sort of antidote?MAWDRYN: Wehave no restorative for Tegan and Nyssa.BRIG '83: Doctor, have you got any ideas? ... You said in the laboratory that the Doctor could help you through thatmachinery.MAWDRYN: That is true, but only of his own free will.BRIG '83: Well then, surely he can do the same for Nyssa and Tegan.MAWDRYN: That is aquestion you must ask the Doctor.BRIG '83: Well, Doctor?TEGAN: Doctor?NYSSA: Doctor?DOCTOR: Take me to your laboratory.[SCENE_BREAK]MAWDRYN: TheDoctor chose to involve himself. Soon he will be a Time Lord no longer. That is his reward for compassion.[SCENE_BREAK]BRIG '77: Doctor! Where ishe?[SCENE_BREAK]DOCTOR: You will activate the energy transfer, Brigadier. It will take several moments for the charge in the machine to build up. You can readoff the countdown to the moment of exchange. Are you all right?BRIG '83: Yes.MUTANT: Do not be afraid. When the moment comes, we will all share in the lifeforce of the Doctor.MUTANT 2: Our mutation will end.MUTANT: You will no longer be contaminated.NYSSA: And the Doctor won't be a Time Lord anymore.[SCENE_BREAK]TURLOUGH: Brigadier?

Icebergs bob up and down within the rough ocean. In blizzard-like conditions, a man with heavy-weather clothing is kneeling in the snow by awall, digging with a small pickaxe. Another man joins him, wearing similar clothes. He kneels and communicates with his companion, necessarily shoutingbecause of the howling wind. The two men are Charles Winlett, and Derek Moberley, workers on an Antarctic research station.)MOBERLEY: Come on Charles,we've got enough samples, surely!WINLETT: This isn't ice - this is something else. Have a look.(He reaches down and extracts a small round object, frozen withice and snow, but unrecognizable to both men.)MOBERLEY: What is it?WINLETT: Don't know! Let's get it back to camp.(They both stand up ready toleave.)[SCENE_BREAK]2, INT: RESEARCH STATION - LABORATORY(After an exterior shot of the research station, the round object is being examined on a tableby the third member of the research team, John Stevenson. He scrapes away the excess ice to reveal a solid, rough, dark green pod or egg. Moberley and Winlettenter.)MOBERLEY: Animal, vegetable, or mineral?STEVENSON: Vegetable.WINLETT: Yes, that's what we thought.(Stevenson holds up the pod on a tray in frontof them.)STEVENSON: The cutaneous creasing is unmistakable. When it's properly thawed out I can...confirm it with a cytology test.(Winlett is prodding the podwith a scalpel.)WINLETT: The skin looks as hard as iron.STEVENSON: Yes, it is a bit of a cannonball. How deep in the permafrost was it?WINLETT: About the er...9th layer.MOBERLEY: And that means it's been there for ooh...20 thousand years? What do you make of it, John?STEVENSON: Nothing at all yet.MOBERLEY(joking): Oh, and I thought you were meant to be a botanist.STEVENSON: I've not seen anything remotely like it.WINLETT: It looks tropical to me, like agourd.MOBERLEY: Oh rubbish Charles. If it's from the late Pleistocene period, it can't be tropical. It's a few million years since this part of Antarctica wasrainforest.WINLETT: Oh that's the accepted theory. Discoveries like this have destroyed accepted theories before now. Isn't that right, John?(Stevenson is far lesscasual about the situation than the others. Without even listening to Winlett, he hesitantly touches the pod a few times with his finger. Winlett tries to get hisattention but he seems distracted and confused.)WINLETT: ...John?STEVENSON: ...hmm? Sorry.MOBERLEY: Is something wrong?STEVENSON: ...Don't you feelit?MOBERLEY: Feel what?STEVENSON: I don't know - there's something... odd...something...you don't feel it?MOBERLEY (laughing): It must be that rice puddingyou had for lunch!(Winlett laughs, but Stevenson doesn't. He steps closer to Moberley.)STEVENSON: I'm not joking. ... It's alive. That's it. It's alive.MOBERLEY:Are you serious?!STEVENSON: Yes.WINLETT: How can you tell?STEVENSON: I don't know - but I'm certain that this is a living organism.(Moberley breaks theintense atmosphere.)MOBERLEY: ...Yes well I think we should have some coffee.WINLETT: Coffee and a game of three-handed crib. Come on!(He takesStevenson around the shoulders and leads him off. Stevenson doesn't relax, and he turns back to look at the pod.)STEVENSON: I'll transmit pictures to London,they might have some idea.WINLETT: John, come on![SCENE_BREAK]3, INT: WORLD ECOLOGY BUREAU - OFFICE(A man in a suit is getting a file from a cabinet.He is Richard Dunbar of the World Ecology Bureau.)DUNBAR: Sir Colin insists that I show you these photographs which have just been received from myexpedition.(As the camera follows him, it shows that it is the Doctor whom Dunbar is talking to. He is sitting on Dunbar's desk and he seems more interested inhis yo-yo than what Dunbar is saying.)DUNBAR: Personally, I don't think you can help us.DOCTOR: Don't you? Well...(Dunbar reluctantly hands him the file.Dunbar looks around uncomfortably.)DOCTOR: Do sit down, Mr. Dunbar.(Unable to sit in his own chair as the Doctor would be almost on top of him, he walks allthe way around the far side of the desk and sits in the chair usually provided for the visitors.)DUNBAR: These pictures have baffled all the experts. The onlyreasonable explanation seems to be that the pod is from some extinct species of plant.(The Doctor spins around to face Dunbar, he sits in Dunbar's chair andthere is a bang as he rests his boots on Dunbar's desk. He doesn't look up from the file.)DOCTOR: Have you considered an alternative explanation.DUNBAR:Name one.DOCTOR: Well...that it might have originated in outer space.DUNBAR (amused): My dear Doctor, if you've seen anything like that before, you musthave a very powerful telescope.DOCTOR (unimpressed): Mr. Dunbar, how long is it since there was vegetation in Antarctica?DUNBAR: I thought you were theexpert in these matters. Well as a matter of fact, that's one of the things our expedition is trying to discover. It was found fairly deep in the permafrost;say...20-30 thousand years under the ice...DOCTOR: Ssh. It might still be ticking.DUNBAR: What?(The Doctor suddenly seems interested and he stands upabruptly, walking around the desk.)DOCTOR: A time-bomb, Mr. Dunbar, a time-bomb. Are you in contact with the expedition?DUNBAR: My superior, Sir ColinThackeray has a daily video link. Ten minutes of satellite time.DOCTOR: Good. Tell them to keep a constant guard upon the pod, and not to touch it until Iarrive.DUNBAR: You're leaving immediately?DOCTOR: Why not? I've got my toothbrush.(He turns around and for some reason has a toothbrush in his hand. Hestarts to leave but ducks back in for a few more words.)DOCTOR: Remember, no touch pod - could be dangerous.(He shuts the door. Dunbar stares incredulouslyafter him for a while, then turns to his desk and picks up a phone.)DUNBAR: Sir Colin? Dunbar here. That chap you called in from UNIT - is he quitesane?![SCENE_BREAK]4, INT: RESEARCH STATION - LABORATORY(Stevenson measures the pod with a pair of pincers. He looks worried about the measurementand mutters to himself.

How can it grow without feeding?STEVENSON: Sunlight, Charles -ultra-violet radiation.WINLETT: But plants need nitrogen.STEVENSON: I believe this is fundamentally different. ... We may be cultivating something that is goingto...shatter all our ideas about plant growth.WINLETT: Yes, well er...don't get carried away John.(He gets up and starts to leave.)WINLETT: Remember whatLondon said.STEVENSON: What do you mean?WINLETT: That we leave this thing alone.(Stevenson looks annoyed and walks over to Winlett.)STEVENSON: Untilthis Doctor character arrives, why should we? It's our pod.WINLETT: John, we're working for the World Ecology Bureau.STEVENSON: Oh he's probably some oldcrank that Thackeray's dug up out of retirement! He'd have no more idea about the pod than we have.WINLETT: We'll soon find out, he's due intomorrow.STEVENSON: And who needs him. It's our discovery.

He carries a suitcase. They approach the main part ofthe nursery, where a small man in a suit can be seen with his back to them. Hargreaves announces Dunbar.)HARGREAVES: Mr. Dunbar, of the World EcologyBureau, sir.(Hargreaves leaves. Dunbar waits for the man to turn around. Harrison Chase, owner of the mansion, is a small eccentric man wearing a black suitand black gloves. Finally deciding to notice Dunbar, he walks towards him.)CHASE: I don't think I've had the pleasure.

The hideous, grotesque Japanese practice of miniaturizing shrubs and trees.What is your bureau doing about that?DUNBAR: Well...I...CHASE: No answer. You are concerned about the fate of the blue whale, and the natterjack toad - andthe loveliest, most defenceless part of creation; the great kingdom of plant life receives no protection at all.DUNBAR: We try to conserve all the endangeredspecies.CHASE: I'm delighted to hear that, Mr. Dunbar. Of course you know of my concern...my mission: to protect the plant life of Mother Earth?DUNBAR: I do,Mr. Chase - which is why I've come to show you something. A totally new kind of plant.(Dunbar opens his suitcase and retrieves some photographs.)CHASE(angry): Hybrids! A crime against nature!DUNBAR: No, not a hybrid. It's a mysterious unidentified pod recently discovered by one of our expeditions.(He handsthe suddenly interested Chase the photographs.)CHASE (excited): Where was this found?DUNBAR: There's a theory that it's floated through space from someother biosphere. The really important thing is, it may be still viable and able to germinate.CHASE: Mr. Dunbar. I asked you where this pod was found.DUNBAR: Inthe Antarctic. Now in our violent and uncertain world, Mr. Chase, anything could happen. Such a valuable specimen could easily disappear...for a price?CHASE:Where in the Antarctic? I should want to know the precise location.(Dunbar gets an envelope from his pocket and hands it to Chase. Chase walks over and picksup a column-shaped object, an intercom of some sort.)CHASE: Hargreaves?HARGREAVES (oov): Yes, sir?CHASE: You and Mr. Scorby please.HARGREAVES (oov):Certainly sir.(He puts down the intercom. He opens the envelope as Dunbar approaches behind him.)DUNBAR: X marks the spot.CHASE: Forethought andinitiative, Mr. Dunbar, two excellent attributes. We shall meet again very soon to discuss your...remuneration.DUNBAR: You're very kind.(There is a knock on thedoor.)CHASE: Come.(Hargreaves enters with a tall, tough-looking man.)HARGREAVES: Yes, sir?CHASE: Hargreaves, show Mr. Dunbar out.HARGREAVES: Thisway, Mr. Dunbar.(They leave.)SCORBY: You wanted to see me, Mr. Chase?CHASE: Yes, Scorby.

Yeah, and we can't use thedimensional stabiliser in here 'cos there's not enough room for when we get back to normal size. We'd just fill up the crack.DOCTOR: Like putty.DRAX: Do youmind? Yeah, you've got problems.DOCTOR: Yes. The door's open so the Shadow can go in there and take the Key to Time. Romana can't help and the time loopmust be at breaking point by now.DOCTOR: When the countdown reaches zero, up goes Atrios, Zeos and all.DRAX: Life presents a dismal picture, you mightsay.DOCTOR: Yes, you might say that. And of course there's the Marshal.DRAX: The Marshal? He's on our side.DOCTOR: No.DRAX: No. Oh well. Where's he fitin?DOCTOR: He's in the time loop as well, making a rocket attack on Zeos.

You're not under the Shadow's influence any more. Now, let's get out ofhere before he comes back.ASTRA: No, I must stay.

First Astra and now Merak.DOCTOR: Romana, it wasn't our idea to use theRoyal House of Atrios as carriers, was it?ROMANA: No, but what happened to Astra was our fault. We're just pawns here to do the Guardian's dirty work.DOCTOR:I don't like it any more than you do, but it's done. Have you set those coordinates yet?ROMANA: Is that all you can say? She was a living being, and now what isshe? A component. And Merak thinks she's still alive. No power should have that right, not even the Guardians. We must do something!DOCTOR: Well, you couldstart by setting the coordinates for Zeos.ROMANA: Why?DOCTOR: Romana, you get carried away. If you don't set those coordinates, millions of people will dieand this time it really will be our fault. Have you forgotten the time loop?ROMANA: No, I hadn't forgotten the time loop.

Ha, ha, well shot!ROMANA: Doctor,he hit the planet of evil and he was aiming at Zeos!DOCTOR: Well, I can't help what he was aiming at.ROMANA: What did you do?DOCTOR: A mere nothing. Amere deflective forcefield set up for a millisecond set up between the Marshal and Zeos, bounced the missiles smack onto the planet of evil.ROMANA: Is thatall?DOCTOR: Yes.DRAX: Well, he might have told us, mightn't he, dog? We was expecting to get blasted into infinity.K9: Affirmative.DOCTOR: Well, I'm sorryabout that. I don't know what I'm apologising for. I just saved your lives! Can I drop you somewhere, Drax?DRAX: No thanks. I've got a contract job on downthere.DOCTOR: Contract job? No armaments, I hope.DRAX: No. Reconstruction, war damage, scrap and that. Me and the Marshal's going fifty-fifty.ROMANA: Youand the Marshal?DRAX: Yeah, well, he's out of a job now, isn't he. I mean, no war, no job, so I took him on.DOCTOR: When did you arrange this?DRAX: In abouthalf an hour's time, I should think.DOCTOR: I see.

They're normal, everyday folks who come home one day, open their mail, and they have a jury summons. They're like my fans? That's exactly what theyare. They're the same people who throw panties on stage and cheer for you. And you got to see them like that. You got to talk to them like that.Marissa: Bull?Rock on. Go get 'em.Marissa: Bull. All right. Sir Vincent needs a fresh jury. Thank you guys very much. Bull.News anchor: In the storm, Essence Airlines Flight1372 went down approximately three miles from Albany Airport. As you can see from the wreckage behind me, all 62 passengers are presumed dead. Thepresident of Essence Airlines is on the line. Call back.(newscast continues)Hamilton-Sena and the usual airline litigation firms are calling to sign us up. Crash isless than an hour old, and the vultures are already circling, huh?Bull: Missing the runway does seem to inspire lawsuits. Sorry, I'm still the new guy, but... youhandled aviation suits before? Every crash in the last ten years. And, uh, Bull's a pilot. Maybe it's because I'm a pilot. Just spoke with a former colleague from theFBI. Was it...? Wasn't terrorism. Tried to land in a storm with wind shear.News anchor: A shocking new development, a miracle perhaps. The nose cone of theplane was severed from the fuselage upon impact. Sources tell us that one of the pilots was pulled from the cockpit alive. Never heard of a pilot surviving a crash.On a crash like this. Before we sign any client... Victim or airline... We're gonna talk to this pilot.(sighs)Man: Essence Airlines and supporting industries have allbeen named in a separate wrongful death filing.The pilot is also being sued.(reporters clamoring)There are security concerns, because of death threats.

It's a pleasure to meet you, Capt... Captain Mathison. I'm glad you fully recovered. Dr. Bull, thank you. I can't say the last four months havebeen easy, but I'm here. Oscar Weber. I'm her attorney.(chuckles): Oh! Gosh, yeah. I've heard so much about you, Oscar. Thanks for taking an interest in thiscase, Dr. Bull. Not sure there's a need here for what you do. Getting the truth? Winning? We may not even take this case to trial. Captain Mathison here has beencharged with gross negligence. If she were to lose in court, she may be facing criminal charges.Taylor: Dr. Bull, how did you know I was Captain Mathison and nothim? Well, you don't bounce when you walk. So clearly you're former military, and you're wearing aviator sunglasses, so I figured... pilot. Plus, one look at Oscar,and... there's no way he's a pilot. All right, let's go hear this flight recording.Taylor (over computer): Passing outer marker, ILS Approach 1-6, good to land.Man:Radar contact, cleared to land runway 1-6. Ceiling 2-0-0. Visibility one-quarter mile, wind one-niner-zero, variable 25 gust... Tower Albany to Flight213...Electronic voice: Wind shear. Wind shear.Copilot: Wind shear, loss 20 knots.Taylor: Cross-control 0500.(urgent chatter)Can't... What are you doing?Taylor:Throttle's up! On the go... got to take it around! Full power, full power... That's not protocol.Taylor: Clean it up, full power!Electronic voice: Terrain... Pull up.Terrain... pull up.Taylor: Five more seconds! Brace! Brace!(sustained beep)Man: Tower Albany, I've lost them off-screen.You need a minute? I'm okay. Soundslike you did the best you could in a hell of a storm. I considered flying on to Boston early on, but the storm was worse there, so... We started our descent, and...(sighs) we hit a massive wind shear.Weber: The challenge is gonna be the NTSB report. It says... Captain Mathison failed to follow emergency protocol and lostcontrol of the plane.Marissa: The NTSB says 80% of crashes are caused by pilot error.Bull: It's not exactly a fair fight when the pilots usually aren't around todefend themselves.Weber: The flight recorder backs up the report. A jury is going to be inclined to believe it. Unless someone bothers to give them a crediblealternative explanation. Her own copilot questioned her decision. And you can read the mind of a dead man? Good for you, Oscar. Do you think you lost control? Idon't remember. I wish I could tell you why I did what I did that day, but it just...Weber: To my point, the plaintiffs are gonna find that very convenient. She hadsix broken ribs. And a severe concussion. Memory loss does happen with head trauma. You were in the military? I flew 139 sorties over Iraq. Got over 12,000flight hours. So what's the last thing you do remember? The wind shear alarm. Then I woke up in the hospital. They told me everyone on the flight... And therewere no survivors. And you feel responsible. My plane went down and I lost 62 souls. Of course I feel responsible. I am responsible.Weber: Taylor, no one wantsto see you endure a long, difficult trial. Let me work with the airlines. We can hash out a settlement for these families. Lord knows what a jury is going to comeback with. We'll know. Excuse me? We'll know what a jury's gonna come back with. We'll know because that's what we do. That's what trial science is. Andsomething to remember, Mr. Weber. Just because Taylor feels responsible doesn't mean she's to blame. Captain Mathison, I'd like to take your case. Huh. Okay,s-so what do we do next? My team and I go to work. I didn't sleep for a week after that plane went down. I was lead mechanic on the gate that day. Couldn't helpbut wonder if I'd missed something. How you sleeping now? Eight hours a night. Look, I did all my preflight checks. The NTSB was all up in here and they stillcleared my crew. The plane wasn't ten years old. There was barely a grease spot on the repair log. So it was okay to fly. Waxed and ready to go. Well, that reportsaid that the pilots did their own inspection before takeoff. Why is that? They're required to do a walk-around. But it wasn't both of them that day, it was just thecopilot. Is that standard procedure? It's always the copilot. She did her walk-around like she was supposed to. What do you... what do you mean \"she\"? There arelady copilots. Well, the lady wasn't the copilot on that flight. She was the captain. I mean... Damn.Judge: Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, have you reached averdict? Guilty of gross negligence. Verdict. Guilty. Guilty.Marissa: We've questioned all of our mock jurors, and they've all found Captain Mathison guilty. Let mework on her image. Maybe we're sending the wrong message. I have some ideas that could balance her military edge. Worth a shot. We varied our emphasis onher military record, her stellar pilot rating, nothing's changed the outcome.Judge: Mr. Foreman, have you reached a verdict?Foreman: We have, Your Honor. Inthe case of Berman et al. v. Mathison, we find the defendant not guilty. Not guilty? That's amazing. How'd he do that? It is amazing. All we had to do was adjustone basic assumption about the case. Which one? Meet our client, Captain Taylor Mathison. Uh, ladies and gentlemen, all this case needed was a man'stouch.(clicks tongue)Sorry. I'm just the messenger. Not the misogynist.Benny: So, juries are finding her guilty because she's a woman.Marissa: But the datashows that when it comes to female pilots, there is a clear gender bias. Yeah, but it's not 1977. There are women in power everywhere. Well, it's subconscious.Things people aren't even aware of, like getting the door for a woman.Bull: Benny's always been chivalrous.Cable: I don't get it. Is it really difficult to open adoor? It's back to where women wore farthingales.(chuckles): Farthingales. What's a farthingale? It's basically like wearing an upside-down umbrella. All right,my point is we have to dial gender bias into Taylor's defense. Which is? Which is... ...an unavoidable wall of wind tragically brought down Flight 1372, and noteven the skills of a great pilot could save them. Okay. All right, I'm gonna play devil's advocate. How do we prove she didn't lose control of the plane if she can'teven remember what happened? Start with the flight recorder. Yeah, about that. You're aware that it only covers the last 30 minutes before the crash?Chunk: Myphone holds 1,000 hours of music, but a black box taps out halfway through a Wayne Newton album? I tap out halfway through a Wayne Newton album. Blackbox is only a piece of the puzzle. Okay, Danny, I want a play-by-play in the 24 hours of Taylor's life before the crash. And, Cable, focus on the flight itself. Fill inthe blanks. Danke schoen. That's a Wayne Newton reference for your benefit, Chunk.(sighs)Bull: Cute kids.I take it you and your copilot were close. Yeah. Kenand I were best friends. Mary and the kids are like family to me. They miss their father. It's hard for them to understand why I came home and he didn't. AndMary's mad at me. Been sitting here over an hour, and she's barely said a word. I don't know, sometimes I think she... blames me for Ken's death. Or maybe I'mjust a reminder of what happened. You know, those families, they act like I don't care about the victims, but... I think about those people every day. The voidthey left. The futures they don't get to have.I just keep asking myself: did I panic? You know, did I, did I, did I take a maneuver that was too risky? Taylor,something tells me you didn't. Women drivers. We've all heard the expression. Maybe even said it in the heat of the moment, even though female drivers have a"}

Everyone knows his story. Look.Cambridge University, Rugby blue, won the Athletics thing, wrote a novel, went into business, marriage, everything. He's got a whole life.VIVIEN: All of it. Theschool days, his degree, even his mother and father. It's all invented. (Holds up photo). Look, Harold Saxon never went to Cambridge. There was no HaroldSaxon. The thing is, it's obvious. The forgery is screaming out and yet no one can see it. It's as if he's mesmerized the entire world.LUCY: I think perhaps youshould leave now.VIVIEN: 18 months ago he became real. This is his first, honest-to-God appearance, just after the downfall of Harriet Jones. And at the exactsame time, they launched the Archangel Network.LUCY: Mrs Rook, now stop it.VIVIEN: Even now they say that the... the Cabinet has gone into seclusion. Imean, what does that mean, \"seclusion\"?LUCY: How should I know?VIVIEN: But I've got plenty of research on you. Yes, good family, Roedean, not especiallybright but essentially harmless. (Sits beside Lucy). And that's why I'm asking you, Lucy. I'm begging you. If you have seen anything, heard anything, even theslightest thing that would give you cause to doubt him...LUCY: I think...VIVIEN: Yes?LUCY: There was a time when we first met, I wondered... But he was sogood to my father. And he said...VIVIEN: What? Just tell me, sweetheart.LUCY: The thing is... I made my choice.VIVIEN: I'm sorry?LUCY: For better or for worse.Isn't that right, Harry?Saxon has joined them, leaning on the connecting door.SAXON: My faithful companion.VIVIEN: Mr Saxon. Prime Minister, I-I-I was justhaving a little joke with poor little Lucy. I, I didn't mean...SAXON (walks to centre of room): Oh, but you're absolutely right. Harold Saxon doesn't exist.VIVIEN:Then tell me... who are you?SAXON: I'm the Master and these (holds out his hands) are my friends.Four small metal spheres appear and float about him.VIVIEN:I'm sorry?SAXON: Can't you hear it, Mrs Rook?VIVIEN: What do you mean?SAXON: The drumbeat. The drums coming closer and closer.The spheres headtowards Vivien spikes now sticking out from their lower halves.SPHERE 1 (female voice): The lady doesn't like us.The spheres advance on Vivien, the spikesspinning.SPHERE 2 (male voice): Silly lady.SPHERE 3 (male voice): Dead lady.Vivien screams. Lucy and Saxon exit the room and shut the door, deadening thescreams. Saxon takes a breath and opens the door. The screams continue. Saxon winces and closes the door. He opens and closes the door again quickly, puttinga fist to his mouth.LUCY (sighs): But she knew. Harry, she knew everything. You promised. You said Archangel was 100%.SAXON: Um, 99, 98?LUCY: But if she's"}

Veronica's eyes glint with determination and she smiles.VERONICA: I believe there is.INT - THE BREAK - NIGHT.The Break is a busy bar withloud music playing. The most prominent sign in the bar besides the one declaring the bars name is a notice declaring Thursday nights as \"College Night.\" A youngman is slumped at the bar counter. A hand pushes a pad of paper and a pen at him.MURPHY: Jimmy! The boy doesn't move. The bar owner, Mr. Murphy, slaps hisarm to rouse him.MURPHY: Hey, your tab. Hey, come on. Jimmy lifts his head up.MURPHY: Sign it and hit the road. Jimmy grabs the pen and pad and signs it. Hegrabs the nearly empty glass of beer in front of him and drains it as he slides off the barstool. He pushes himself away from the bar as Murphy collects thepad.EXT - THE BREAK - NIGHT.Jimmy staggers outside and crosses the road without looking. A car honks his horn, but Jimmy's slow and only action is to hold uphis hands in front of his face. The screen whitens in the glare of headlights to the sound of the sickening thud as the car hits him.EXT - BABYLON GARDENS -NIGHT.From inside the restaurant, Sabirah turns the sign on the door from \"Come in, we're open\" to \"Sorry, we're closed.\"VERONICA VOICEOVER: Tomorrow I'llset the cameras. Tonight it's the old-fashioned stake-out. Veronica is in her car, parked opposite the restaurant on the other side of the street, watching the frontof the building.VERONICA VOICEOVER: I took this case so I wouldn't have time to dwell on Parker's birthday party and now, here I am, sitting in a car withnothing but a whole lot of dwelling time on my hands. Veronica jumps slightly at the soft knock on the passenger side window made by the girl who has appearedat the side of the car. She looks over at the intruder and rolls down the window. The girl leans into the car.AMIRA: Veronica Mars? VERONICA: Amira. Long time,no see. AMIRA: Yeah. Like since my senior year, when you made my Pirate Points worth less. VERONICA: Wow. Good memory. The two girls share politesmiles.VERONICA: I heard you were at Hearst, but I haven't seen ya.AMIRA: Yeah, different circles, I guess.

Veronica nods.VERONICA: Yep.AMIRA:Have a blast.Amira backs away from the car and Veronica closes the window with the touch of a button.INT - THE BREAK - NIGHT.The bar is now empty but forMurphy, who is cashing up, and Keith who approaches the bar counter.KEITH: I just got off the phone with County. The kid's never going to walk again. Any ideawhat a nineteen-year-old was doing drinking in here?MURPHY: His ID said he was twenty-one.KEITH: Yeah, I saw it. It also said he was six three, two twenty,and blond.Murphy shrugs helplessly in a \"What you gonna do\" way. Keith is unimpressed.EXT - BABYLON GARDENS - NIGHT.The door of the restaurant burstsopen and a man comes out, followed by Sabirah. This is Rashad, Sabirah's husband and Amira's father. He waves at Veronica in her car across the street,beckoning her. As Veronica opens the door to get out, he shouts to her.RASHAD: You can go home now. We will pay for the time that you put in. Veronica stridestowards them..RASHAD: But I can handle it myself. It was a mistake for my wife to hire you.SABIRAH: It was not a mistake.Veronica stands before them, a littleuncomfortable as they argue.SABIRAH: You fall asleep out here in your car. You work too hard to be able to stay up all night.RASHAD: This is the Mars girl. Herfather is the acting sheriff. Have you thought about Nasir? Besides, this is no job for a girl, a classmate of Amira's.Amira is also outside, watching the debatequietly.SABIRAH: What choice did I have? I knew you would react this way. Surprise. In the street, there's a loud shout and the sound of a fast-approachingengine. Veronica looks up and to her left to see a yellow pick-up truck bearing down on them. A couple of the occupants are standing in the back, aiming at themwith sights that have lights on them. Operatic-like music swells. Shots are fired. A laser sight and a splurge of red appears on Rashad's chest as he staggers atthe impact. Sabirah screams. Amira turns to run but is hit in the back. Veronica dives out of the way of the speeding vehicle, landing hard on the pavement.Veronica looks down at her coat. She's been hit by yellow paint. She glares at the departing truck. Opening credits.INT - BABYLON GARDENS - NIGHT.Now insidethe restaurant, Veronica groans at the pain in her shoulder where she was hit by the paintball. Amira passes behind her, staring at her now-removed sweater inregret.AMIRA: Ack. Cashmere! Rashad is angry and pacing.RASHAD: Why is this happening?VERONICA: Not a great time to be Arab in America.RASHAD: Twentyyears we've been in this country! Huh?He picks up a small flag from a set on the counter and waves it..RASHAD: Twenty years, we've been Americans. I makeYankee Doodle Damn Dandee. He gestures wildly at a poster on the wall, under another American flag. It's an Uncle Sam poster with Rashad's face PhotoShoppedin under the message \"I want you for Babylon Garden's [sic].\"RASHAD: And now this?VERONICA: The license plate was removed, but I caught a glimpse of abumper sticker. It should be enough to go on.AMIRA: [sceptically] Really? Unless it was a \"Hello, my name is...\" sticker, how's that gonna do anygood?VERONICA: The person who owns that pick-up has a child who's an honour student at Neptune Middle. Do you want me to track him down or not?Rashadlooks over at his wife and daughter helplessly before looking back at Veronica.INT - MARS RESIDENCE - NIGHT.Veronica enters the apartment. Keith is sitting atthe kitchen counter reading a newspaper.KEITH: [with disgust] Look at these ads. Veronica shuts the door behind her and joins him at the counter.KEITH: \"Twofor Tuesday,\" \"It's Raining Gin\"... Keith is looking at a page of advertisements for bars. Genski's promises a \"Suds 'n Study Sat\" with Mexican bottles and draftpints at $2 together with a \"Bucket 'O Beer Bonanza\"! The Sand Bar uses George Washington's portrait to advertise its \"Dollar Shots Night.\"KEITH: \"Dollar ShotsNight\"...VERONICA: Let me change first. Man, you party hard.Veronica saunters off towards her room, ignorant or ignoring Keith's serious mood.KEITH: It's acollege paper. Only a quarter of the students at Hearst are twenty-one. Veronica turns back to him and sags against the counter.VERONICA: [tiredly] I'm not surewhere this rant is going.KEITH: A nineteen-year-old kid was drinking at a bar called The Break tonight with a gumball-level ID. He stumbled out and a car hit him.It looks like he'll never walk again.Keith returns his attention to the ads.KEITH: \"Bucket 'O Beer Bonanza\"... You have any idea if they're known for underagedrinking? Veronica laughs.VERONICA: Famous for is more like it. It's nicknamed The Cake for how easy it is to get in but most of the campus area bars are prettylax. Veronica clearly doesn't see this as any big deal but notes Keith glaring at her.VERONICA: From what I've heard, 'cause the only buckets I order come inoriginal and extra crispy. She heads for her bedroom. Keith stares after her.INT - SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT - DAY.Deputy Sacks hands out sheets of paper to theother eleven deputies gathered in the main office. Keith is facing them, leaning back against the main counter.KEITH: I have it on good authority that The Breakand other campus-area bars on the list you're receiving are knowingly serving underage students. I want surprise checks in every one of these bars tonight."}

That is what you told me.DOCTOR: The Fendahl absorbs the full spectrum of energy, what some people call a life force or soul.

Hungry for her soul.DOCTOR: And she's still alive?LEELA:Yes.DOCTOR: Take me to her.LEELA: What about that?DOCTOR: It's indestructible.LEELA: Well, what about the sonic time scan?DOCTOR: No, no, first thing'sfirst.

I have already reprogrammed the computer. This time it will give a visualinterpretation of what the scanner picks up.

Here, what's a timefissure?DOCTOR: It's a weakness in the fabric of space and time. Every haunted place has one, doesn't it? That's why they're haunted. It's a time distortion. Thisone must be very large. Large enough to have affected the place names round here. Like Fetchborough. Fetch. An apparition, hmm?MARTHA: How do 'ee know somuch?DOCTOR: I read a lot. What did you see in the wood, Mrs Tyler?MARTHA: I didn't see ought with my eyes.DOCTOR: Then with your mind. Did it have ahuman shape?MARTHA: No.DOCTOR: Mrs Tyler, I must know.

Gonna summon up the devil, huh?STAEL: Unlike you, I am not a crude lout, Colby. The grimoires do not impress me.

It could not build a spacecraft. How did it get to Earth?DOCTOR: Well, it. Well, it probably used that enormous stockpile of energy to projectitself across space.LEELA: Oh, you mean the way lightning travels.DOCTOR: No. Yes, well, something like that. Humans speak of astral projection, travellingpsychically to different planets. That could be a race memory.LEELA: Race memory?DOCTOR: Yes. You see, sometimes people dream they've been to otherplaces. It's, er, déjà vu. No? Leela is sleeping on the console room floor. She wakes and has her knife ready when the Doctor enters.)DOCTOR: No, no, no. Put itaway, put it away.

Just a dream, I suppose.LEELA: Hey, what's wrong?DOCTOR: I've been checking the old data banks. There's no recordat all of a fifth planet.LEELA: Does that matter?DOCTOR: Well of course it matters! We Time Lords are a very meticulous people. You have to be when you live aslong as we do. All information is recorded.LEELA: Perhaps there wasn't any.DOCTOR: What?LEELA: Information.DOCTOR: What?DOCTOR: Of course. That's whythere's no record of the planet.LEELA: Why?DOCTOR: That impression's produced by a time loop.LEELA: Time loop?DOCTOR: Yes, a time loop. All memory of aplanet's been erased by a circle of time, making data and its records invisible. Only a Time Lord could do that.LEELA: That's very clever.DOCTOR: That's criminal!We've been on a wild goose chase. We'd better get back. Let's hope we're not too far round that time loop.LEELA: Is there anything I can do?DOCTOR: Yes. No,no. I'll just set the coordinates and we're on our way.[SCENE_BREAK]MARTHA: The Tower, struck by lightning.TYLER: Still no sign of him. Sundown, hesaid.MARTHA: I didn't reckon he'd be reliable. Never trust a man as wears a hat.TYLER: Well, Granddad always wore one.MARTHA: And a wicked old devil hewere, too.TYLER: I wear one.MARTHA: Ah, but I give it to 'ee. That's different. Here, put this in your pocket.TYLER: More charms! Look, I'm not one of yourpunters, Gran.MARTHA: But 'tis Lammas Eve.TYLER: Look, you know that I don't believe in all that.MARTHA: Most round here do. And when most believe, that domake it true.TYLER: Most people used to believe that the Earth was flat, but it was still round.MARTHA: Ah ha, but they behaved as if 'twere flat.

These beacons are practically fool proof.MAJOR IANWARNE: You got any ideas?GENERAL HERMACK: Yes, I have. And I must be right - Argonite! These beacons are almost entirely constructed of Argonite.MAJORIAN WARNE: Of course, sir! What are you going to do about it?(HERMACK turns to the controls in front of his chair and switches on the ship wide communications.He picks up a microphone and speaks into it as all the personnel on the flight deck stop and listen to the echoing message...)GENERAL HERMACK: (Intomicrophone.) Attention all personnel. This is General Hermack. Your V-Ship is now fifty days and many billions of miles out from Earth. You're entering the fourthsector of our galaxy. In this sector for some time now, Earth Government has been aware that a highly organised gang of criminals have been roaming the spaceways, and preying upon defenceless cargo ships. The main target of these criminals is Argonite, the most valuable mineral known to man, and so far only foundon the planets of the Fourth Sector. A government space beacon marking the approaches to the planet New Sarum has ceased transmitting its navigation signal.These beacons, as you know, are constructed of Argonite. It is my belief that the criminals are attacking the government navigation beacons and plundering theArgonite. There can be no other explanation for its failure. This being the case, I have decided to...abandon our present mission and to investigate the missingbeacon in the New Sarum sector. I want all section commanders on the bridge at twenty hundred hours, sector four, solar time. Resume normal duties untilthen.(He switches off and turns back to WARNE who gestures to the grid map.)MAJOR IAN WARNE: There are eighteen space beacons cra...scattered across thissector, sir.GENERAL HERMACK: Seventeen, Ian, until the one at New Sarum's replaced.MAJOR IAN WARNE: Seventeen. And they're millions of milesapart.GENERAL HERMACK: Mmm hmm.MAJOR IAN WARNE: So how can we be sure which one the pirates are likely to attack next?GENERAL HERMACK: (Smiles.)Ha ha! We can't.MAJOR IAN WARNE: Well exactly. The odds are seventeen to one against us being in the right place at the right time.GENERAL HERMACK: Ah!With our speed, I think we can cut those odds a bit.(He also points to the map.)GENERAL HERMACK: Now, there are four beacons in the Pliny Solar System here.That is where we'll start our patrol.[SCENE_BREAK]8: SPACE(Beacon \"ALPHA 7\" is as seemingly as peaceful in the blackness of space as its recently destroyedcounterpart. Again, the sleek, pointed ship docks with the structure.)[SCENE_BREAK]9: INT. SPACE BEACON ALPHA SEVEN. AIRLOCK(Again the airlock gaugerises and the door to the newly arrived ship buzzes open. CAVEN and DERVISH both enter the airlock followed by the two space-suited pirates who again carrytheir equipment and start to ready it. CAVEN watches the two men impatiently.)CAVEN: (Urgently.) Come on! Speed it up.DERVISH: Caven, I don't likethis.CAVEN: Nobody's asking you to like it. Just get those scissor charges laid into position.DERVISH: If we attack any more beacons we'll have the whole of theInterstella Space Corps in this sector.CAVEN: Look. As of this moment, the Space Corps has its hands full of trouble. Brush fire wars in three different sectors .There's never been a better time for getting rich.(DERVISH opens the door to the beacon.)DERVISH: Right lads. Now we'll lay four charges along the main axle,then we'll attach booster charges around the hull. Okay.(The two pirates move into the beacon. DERVISH is about to follow but CAVEN stops him.)CAVEN: You'rea good engineer, Dervish. Just do your job and leave the Space Corps to me, eh?DERVISH: Okay, but I worked ten years for Earth Government.CAVEN: Youshould've stayed with them. They'd have given you a pension.(CAVEN laughs.)DERVISH: Attacking Government property is one crime they make sure neverpays.CAVEN: Sixteen hundred tons of pure Argonite pays all right, Dervish. To me this is like a floating bank.(CAVEN laughs again and the two men step into thebeacon.)[SCENE_BREAK]10: SPACE(The two space-suited pirates float along the outside of Beacon Alpha Seven, again placing charges and a propulsionunit.)[SCENE_BREAK]11: INT. V-SHIP FLIGHT DECK(WARNE is on the lower command deck and stops before the station of TECHNICIAN PENN.)MAJOR IANWARNE: What range are the forward scanners set for, Penn?TECHNICIAN PENN: Fifteen hundred, sir.MAJOR IAN WARNE: Well, reset them at, er, two thousand.Right?TECHNICIAN PENN: Very good, sir.MAJOR IAN WARNE: And keep a sharp eye on that screen. There are lots of rogue asteroids in the PlinySystem.TECHNICIAN PENN: Sir.(WARNE steps up to the upper deck where HERMACK is giving instructions to another part of the V-Ship through the tannoysystem.)GENERAL HERMACK: (Into microphone.) Oh and one thing more. Make sure the Minnow ships are fully fuelled, and put the detonation heads on theirmissiles. Report back as soon as that is done.(HERMACK finishes giving his instructions.)MAJOR IAN WARNE: We're approaching the Pliny system now, sir. We'vemade scanner contact with the four beacons. They're functioning normally.GENERAL HERMACK: Ah good.(He looks over the astral chart and indicates one pointon it.)GENERAL HERMACK: Now this - the planet Ta here - is the main one in the system. We'll orbit here for a few weeks and see what happens.MAJOR IANWARNE: So that's Ta, huh?GENERAL HERMACK: Ah, you've heard of it?MAJOR IAN WARNE: Yeah, that's the headquarters of the Issigri Mining Corporation. Themost productive planet in the entire galaxy.GENERAL HERMACK: Hm hmm. Madeleine Issigri has built quite a place there. Which is one reason for basingourselves in the Pliny system.MAJOR IAN WARNE: Why's that a reason, sir?GENERAL HERMACK: Well, if we're out here long, Ian, the men will need somewherefor rest and recreation. Deep space sickness is the one thing we can't chance.(PENN calls up from his lower deck station.)TECHNICIAN PENN: MajorWarne?MAJOR IAN WARNE: What is it Penn?TECHNICIAN PENN: I've got a contact sir. At...(He checks the radar scanner.)TECHNICIAN PENN: Beacon AlphaSeven.MAJOR IAN WARNE: Well hold on it. Any identification?TECHNICIAN PENN: No sir. Too far away.(HERMACK studies PENN'S screen from the upperlevel.)GENERAL HERMACK: Ah, it's a space ship right enough. Check central flight information, Ian, and see if anyone should be out there.MAJOR IAN WARNE:Right sir.(WARNE walks off to check and HERMACK shouts our an order to his crew.)GENERAL HERMACK: Change course for Beacon Alpha Seven.(He then speaksthrough the ship's tannoy system.)GENERAL HERMACK: (Into microphone.) Bridge to Power Room, I want ten seconds main boost.(The rising sound of theengines echoes through the room. WARNE returns with his report.)MAJOR IAN WARNE: According to flight information, sir, there should be no ships in the areawithin the next seventeen days.GENERAL HERMACK: Ah, well whoever they are they've not yet reported to central flight information.MAJOR IAN WARNE: Do youthink it's the Pirates?GENERAL HERMACK: It could be.

And killing Katherine's gonna let it all in, and if you can't handle it, then we're back to square oneElena: And if Ican? What if killing Katherine takes away all that grief and guilt?

That's it.Max: Good.Michael: Let me take a look.(Back in Liz's bathroom,Courtney seems to have recovered from the nutrient bath)Tess: Pretty quick recovery, don't you think? This \"I've fallen and can't get up\" routine seems a littletoo convenient. I think it's time for a Q&A. What exactly did the skins do?Courtney: I don't know.(Tess pulls the drain plug and the nutrient bath starts to godown the drain)Courtney: No.Isabel: What happened to our families?Courtney: Time exists in multiple subset dimensions on our planet. Nicholas must have atechnology to impose one or more of these here.Isabel: Speak English.Courtney: It's like being on Pacific and Eastern and Central and Mountain time all at once.Human bodies can't function. They simply disappear.Liz: To where? Where are our parents, our friends...Alex? Where is everyone? Are they dead? Wha...Maria:Water's getting low.Courtney: Somewhere! Another dimension, another plane of existence! I don't know where! They seem to have just...shifted.Maria: Well, canwe get 'em back?Courtney: I don't know. Please.(Tess replaces the drain plug)Isabel: Why haven't Liz and Maria disappeared?Courtney: I don't...I don'tknow.Maria: We were out of town this morning.

It's itchy when it grows back.Raj: I'm worried about the New Horizons spaceprobe.Bernadette: What's he talking about?Howard: Nine years ago he was part of a team that launched a spacecraft to collect data about Pluto, and it's finallyclose enough, so this morning it turned itself on.Raj: We hope. The signal has to travel over three billion miles. So it's gonna be hours before we know if it evensurvived.Howard: Now we get to see him flip out because he's worried it was demolished by space ice.Raj: Space ice is no joke.

I suppose it's only fair we make compromises.Leonard: Look at you, being all mature.Sheldon: I don't know why you're so surprised.If there's one thing I know about after living with you for so many years, it's how to compromise.Leonard: I, I'm sorry? You make compromises for me?Sheldon:All the time.Leonard: On Earth? In our lives? That, that, that we're living?Sheldon: Oh, yes. I, just yesterday, you had a, a big piece of lettuce stuck in your teethat lunch. Did I say anything? No. I compromised and kept my mouth shut. Like you should've, because everyone was laughing at you.Leonard: That is not acompromise. A compromise is me driving you everywhere because you refuse to learn how.Sheldon: Oh, I learned how. Amy taught me.Leonard: What? Then.then why don't you do it?Sheldon: Uh, well, it's scary. And sometimes I get the pedals mixed up. But, more importantly, driving me to work is one of the thingsthat gives your life purpose. I can't take that away from you, so what do I do? Oh, come on, I'm practically feeding you the answer.

It's not like Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, right?Some bald guy with horns isn't gonna rip my heart out.Raj: Dude, that movie's an imperialist fantasy that makes the followers of a beautiful and peaceful religionlook like a bunch of bloodthirsty barbarians.Howard: You love that movie.Raj: Yeah, it's pretty great.Howard: I'm surprised to see you suddenly get religious.Raj:Why?Howard: Well, because I've known you for ten years and you've never gone to temple, you never talked about believing in God, and last Diwali I watchedyou eat two pounds of sacred cow at a Brazilian steak house.Raj: Religion is a very personal thing. I do go to temple, I just, I don't talk about it.Howard: Yeah,but you're a scientist.Raj: So?Howard: So, as a scientist, you believe the way to understand the universe is through facts and evidence, and now you're countingon some blue chick with a hundred arms to help you?Raj: That is so offensive. Does everything you know about Hinduism come from Indiana Jones?Howard: No.There's also Apu from The Simpsons.Raj: Well, lots of scientists believe in God. Okay? Newton, uh, Faraday, uh, Pascal, all were believers. Even Einstein wasfamous for attacking quantum theory on the grounds that God does not play dice with the universe.Howard: Well, of course he believed in God. he slept withMarilyn Monroe.Raj: Actually there's no proof of that.Howard: You believe in your religion, I'll believe in mine.[SCENE_BREAK][ Store changing rooms ]Amy:How's it going in there?Penny: Uh, not really a great outfit for work, unless something opens up in the hookers and whores division.

I listened in health class and anybody with apulse can get HIV.Nurse Davis: Yes but...Ms. Hatzilakos: Marco? Please? (She stops the filming) Thank you. Thank you. Look this blood drive, you should be soproud of yourself for everything you've done.

Maybe theblood people were right.(Alex smacks Marco on his head.)Marco: What is wrong with you?Alex: My ex, formerly known as Jay Hogart, screwed around with everygirl at this school.

Roz is in her booth.Frasier: Till tomorrow then, this is Dr. Frasier Crane wishing you...Rozknocks on the booth. Frasier looks around a sees a grumpy old man looking in through the screen.Frasier: Oh, yes. Be sure to tune in later for the final broadcastof KACL's loveable curmudgeon, Chester Ludgate. You know, most of us here at the station were surprised to hear that he was retiring. I for one thought he'dnever leave. [presses button]Roz: [enters] So, should we order a pizza?Frasier: Sorry?Roz: Those PSA's you promised you'd help me with are duetomorrow.Frasier: Oh gosh, Roz, I really am sorry. You know, it seems Mrs. Delafield's daughter is coming here to join us as an intern. I promised Kenny I'd showher around and take her to dinner.Roz: So, while I'm working late, eating my vending-machine dinner, you'll be out having a gourmet meal with some cute richgirl.Frasier: Oh, you can make anything sound unfair.Roz exits to her booth as Kenny and the cute rich girl, Poppy, enter the booth. Poppy is like a character outof \"Clueless\": Long blond hair, dressed totally in a red \"girly\" outfit with red high heels and red hand bag. She speaks with an annoying, ditzy accent.Kenny: Hey,Doc.Frasier: Kenny, and who have we here?Kenny: Dr. Frasier Crane, I'd like you to meet Miss Poppy Delafield. Well, gotta run. [swiftly exits]Frasier: Poppy,what a pleasure to meet the daughter of our beloved station owner. So, what brings you to KACL?Frasier cannot get a word in throughout the following.Poppy:Well, I was in Paris last month - or was it Madrid? - No, Paris, and I said to myself, \"that's enough gallivanting for you, young lady, it's time to get a job.\" So Iflew home and asked my mother, Minnie, if I could nose around and see if some job, you know, spoke to me at one of her radio stations, or TV stations ornewspapers. But not her brewery, thank you very much! So, here I am. Sleeves rolled up, ready to learn. Is this where you do your show? Of course it is, there'syour mike right in front of me. Earth to Poppy!She laughs; Gil walks past the booth in the corridor.Poppy: There's Gil, I met him earlier. Hi, Gil!She waves, Gilruns away. Frasier also waves and then wonders what he is doing and looks back at Poppy, who carries on.Poppy: Nice man. I think it's marvelous what you do.To really help people. Unlike the psychiatrists I've been to, both of whom had some sort of, I don't know, narcolepsy. I sympathize, but if you can't stay awake,don't be a psychiatrist!Behind her back, Frasier removes his cell phone, dials a number, and then hides it in his pocket.Poppy: To do what you do, to face thatmicrophone day after day and know that for the next three hours you're going to have to talk and talk and talk? I could not do it! I would freeze! Literallyfreeze!She laughs giddily. Then the phone on the console rings, stopping her.Frasier: Excuse me. [grabs the phone] Hello? Yes, Dad. All right, calm down, calmdown. Was there much blood?Poppy: Oh my gosh!Frasier: All right, Dad, I'll be there as soon as I can, hang on a second. [puts phone to chest, to Poppy] I'mterrible sorry, there's been a small emergency at home. I'm gonna have to pass on today, may I take a rain check?Poppy: Oh, and we were having such a nicechat.Roz enters.Frasier: This is Roz, my producer. You know Roz, I'll gladly do those promos if you would be so kind as to take Poppy to dinner and answer herquestions.Roz: Sure, if you don't get bored listening to me drone on about radio.Frasier: Oh, I don't think there's much chance of that!Poppy whizzes Roz out ofthe booth, chatting to her on the way.[SCENE_BREAK]Scene Two - Frasier's Apartment. Frasier and Daphne are sitting at the dining table. Martin enters andhurries Eddie into the apartment, checking the hallway for people.Frasier: What the hell is happening?Martin: Well, remember last week when Eddie killed his firstrat? And how proud I was? I told you that story, right?Frasier: Yes, Dad, you told us. If you had a guitar you would have written a ballad.Martin: Well, we werejust down in the basement and I saw another rat. I said, \"go get him, boy!\" So just as he picked him up, had him in his teeth, shaking the life out of him, and Ihear this little bell, ting-a-ling. And I thought, \"that's funny - rats don't wear bells!\"Daphne: Oh, little Robbie Greenberg's missing hamster!Frasier: Yes, I readthat flyer. He was offering a ten dollar reward.Martin: Well, the most we can claim at this point is about six-fifty.Frasier: You know Dad, this is actually your fault.You know if you hadn't encouraged him after he killed his first rat he wouldn't have moved on to murdering hamsters!Martin: Well, what are you talking about?We don't know it was Eddie who killed him. He might have had a heart attack, or some kind of seizure when he bounced off the boiler!The doorbell sounds.Frasier crosses the room and opens the door to Niles. He is carrying a magazine and two tickets. A smile is beaming across his face.Frasier: Niles!Niles: Prepareto whoop like a sweepstakes winner. Cancel our dinner! I've scored us two seats, front row for the event of the season.Frasier: You mean...?Niles: Yes.Frasier:But...?Niles: I know! [proudly holds up the tickets]Frasier: Niles!Martin: [aside to Daphne] I love it when they do it this way, I can pretend it's a Seahawksgame.He sits in his chair as Frasier eagerly takes the tickets and scans them.Frasier: My God, it's for the Cecilia Bartoli concert! My God, they've been sold out formonths. How on earth did you score these tickets?Niles: I simply phoned the box office and said this is Niles Crane, the new arts critic for \"The Monocle.\"Frasiertakes in a gasp of half delight for his brother and half jealousy as Niles slaps the magazine on the table.Daphne: \"The Monocle.\" Isn't that that magazine theyhand out to rich people in all the snootiest apartment buildings?Niles: And the snootiest hotels.Frasier: How could this happen, Niles?Niles: I was at a partythrown by the publisher, Olga Suerbread. The pretentious fop who had the job before me was there too, spouting sheer drivel about Leonard Bernstein. Beingpolite I kept my tongue sheathed. Until he referred to Bernstein's conducting as \"overrated.\"Frasier: [indignant] I assume you pounced?Niles: [dignified] Like aninja! By the time I had finished with him, Olga could see I was a far better critic than that arrogant poseur.Daphne: She fired him right there?Niles: Well, he wasleaving anyway for his junior year abroad.Frasier: Well, it's a post. Congratulations are in order. You know, who would have thought my little brother aprofessional music critic?Niles: Oh, oh, and not just music. I can review anything I want. Theater, dance, art exhibits.Frasier: You don't say?Niles: Yes, from nowon, wherever we go, I'll be armed with my trusty pad and penlight.Frasier: Wherever we go? What fun.Niles: [takes some opera glasses from his pocket] I'll haveto take a damp cloth to these opera glasses, although I don't know what will we use them for, sitting in the front row? Unless it's to scan the faces of the jealouspeople behind us.Niles exits to the powder room.Martin: So, are you sure you're okay with Niles getting this critic job?Frasier: Why wouldn't I be, Dad?Martin:Oh, come on, I know what it's like with you two when one of you gets something the other one doesn't have. It's like when you were kids. Niles got a telescope,so you had to have a telescope. You got that funny little guitar, Niles...Frasier: Dad, it was called a lute!Martin: Oh yeah, whatever.Frasier: Dad, believe me, I donot envy Niles his critic's job. As kids we would aggravate the situation by flaunting our toys in each other's faces. We're much more mature than that now, allright?Niles enters from the powder room.Frasier: Niles, you know, it's about time we got going. We don't want to be late for the curtain.Niles: [flaunting] Don't besilly, I'm press now. They'll hold it.Niles walks out with great esteem, his chin pointed up. Frasier grovels behind him, ignoring Martin's smuglook.[SCENE_BREAK]HOW A POPPY BECOMES HEROINScene Three - Café Nervosa. Front stage, Frasier and Roz are having a coffee and a chat together.Meanwhile upstage, Poppy is telling a weary crowd around her (including Gil and Kenny) about her life.Poppy: So, that's how it ends: B minus average, ten extrapounds and still no boyfriend.Front stage, Frasier and Roz watch on.Roz: I see Poppy's having a little party.Frasier: That's not a party, that's a hostagesituation.Roz: Thank God today is her last day. You know, this morning she cornered me by the coffee machine and told me her whole life story. I just wanted tograb her by the throat and say, \"What am I, your biographer? Shut up!\"Frasier laughs. Gil finally gets out of the \"party\" and arrives at Frasier's table.Gil: DearGod! I thought I'd never break free. I feel like a mongoose at the mercy of a chatty cobra.Gil exits as Niles enters with a newspaper.Niles: Hello, all. I see you allready have the \"Times.\" I'm quoted there today.Frasier: In the \"Times?\"Niles: Yes, here, [shows Roz the bit] it's in an ad for \"St. Joan\": \"'Incandescent,' NilesCrane, 'The Monocle.'\"Roz: [stands] Wow! Excuse me while I go and tell all my friends I know you!Roz goes off to the counter as Niles takes her seat.Niles:[yawns] Forgive me. Olga and I were up till all hours at a party for the \"Royal Shakespeare Company.\" I'm rubbing pretty impressive shoulders these days. And tothink it's all because I have a small column.Frasier: [keeping his eyes on his newspaper] That would certainly be the Freudian interpretation!Niles: If I were toreview that attitude I would say it was a chilling portrait of malice and envy.Frasier: Oh Niles, I'm not the least bit envious that you get to spout off in thatglorified cat-box liner.Niles: You just can't stand it that my opinion means more than yours. That the arts community looks to me for my insight, my approval, mythumbs-up.Frasier: I think we both know what your thumb's up these days!Niles's temper flares, and he gets up.Niles: That's a good one, Frasier. Perhaps youshould use it in your column. Oh, that's right - you don't HAVE one!He exits and Roz joins Frasier with their coffees.Frasier: That smug jackass!Roz: Frasier, youhave a radio show. If you wanted to say what you thought of a play, what's stopping you?Frasier: It's not the same thing as being a real critic, Roz. You don't getfree tickets... you don't get quoted... forget hobnobbing.Roz: My God, this competition between you and your brother is sick. Your obsessive one-upmanship.You're both going to end up bitter old cranks like Chester Ludgate.Frasier: You know, you do raise a good point, Roz.Roz: Thank you.Frasier: Chester's time slot isfree, I could do my own arts show.Kenny passes, trying to hide from Poppy.Frasier: Kenny? Listen, Roz just had a wonderful idea.Kenny: Yeah, doc?Frasier: Whatdo you say about yours truly hosting a bouncy little show about the arts in Seattle?Kenny: Culture? Wow! That's a great idea, let me chew on that and I'll getback to you.Kenny exits.Frasier: Great! You see, Roz, he loved your ideaRoz: That was not my idea.Frasier: It was too your idea.Roz: It was not...Kenny entersagain.Kenny: Look, Doc, honestly, I feel kinda bad about what I just did. I let you think there was a chance that I might you let you do this culture show and...there's not.Frasier: No chance at all?Kenny: No. I mean, come on Doc. You, culture, opera. Who's listening? Not me! [laughs]Kenny exits.Frasier: Damn! I think"}

Get all quiet and \u0000tough guy'.Vaughn (taking anothershot): That's not what I'm doing.(Vaughn goes back to skating restlessly.)Weiss: Yeah, he'd deny it, too. Then he'd brood and get mopey, like you're doin'.Finally, it got too much for him he'd have to come around and tell me what the problem was(Vaughn stops skating and lets out a large impatient sigh.)Vaughn:It's been three weeks since I learned that Sydney murdered Lazarey I've been lying to my wife for three weeks.Weiss: Vaughn, I know guys who've lied to theirwives for a lot longer than that(Vaughn gives Weiss a dirty look.)Vaughn: You understand that the reason your brother didn't like talking to you is because yousay stupid things, right?(Vaughn fires an annoyed slapshot off the boards to the right (from Vaughn's angle) of the goal. It makes a loud noise and skittersaway.)Weiss: Listen you were ordered not to say anything, right? This isn't your choice!Vaughn: Yeah, and she was ordered to figure out who murdered Lazarey Imean, that's my point. I'm actively engaged in preventing her from doing her job.

Cut toan overhead aerial view of downtown LA by day. Cut to the JTF Conference room.)Dixon: We've logged on to Tour Europe and downloaded Sloane's intel. TheCovenant is after a device that will give them access to Russia's strategic arsenal. It was designed by this man (shows a picture on screen), Robert Lang,hardware engineer for a German security firm.Jack: Lang was approached by someone posing as a Russian defense official. They contracted him to design a testfor security flaws in their nuclear command and controls system.Marshall: This guy Lang created this really cool device. Basically, take it to any missile silo in allof Russia and it interfaces with the launch control console, bypasses all security protocols: initiation codes, the commander's launch key irrelevant.Sydney: It's askeleton key for Russia's nuclear weapons?Marshall: Yeah and to be honest, I'm just a little bit jealousLauren: Did they ever deliver it to the Covenant?Jack: No.He discovered that the man who hired him wasn't actually Russian defense, at which point, Lang went on the run to prevent the Covenant from getting what he'dinvented.Dixon: This is a picture of what he used to look like. (Nods to picture still up on monitor.)Jack: According to Sloane's intel, Lang has surgically altered hisappearance to hide from the Covenant.Dixon: We know that tomorrow night Lang is scheduled to meet this man (picture flashes up on screen) Heinrich Strauss atthe Club Delphi in Milan. He's picking up new identity papers.Jack: Remember, Sloane's intel came from the Covenant, so obviously they're looking to grab Langand this skeleton key.Dixon: Sydney and Vaughn you need to get to Lang before the Covenant does. You leave tonight. Marshall will go over op tech. Lauren,Sydney I need a moment. (They wait while the others file from the room. Dixon approaches them.) Given the current situation, I need to make a change. (Dixonlooks at Sydney.) I want you to take over as Sloane's handler.Sydney (speechless for a moment and then): No, I'm sorry that is not a good idea.Lauren: Whileit's not my favorite part of the job, can I ask why I'm being replaced?Dixon: It's not an indictment. It's that Sydney is more familiar with the players(Sydney givesa confused look at Lauren and then to Dixon.)Sydney: What players? There's Sloane and Sark that's it.Dixon: No. There's another.

When the Covenant found you, you were both unconscious.Allison: I can only remember thatin bits and pieces. (Flashback to the scenes from \u0000The Telling\u0000 of the fight as she speaks). She came home I realized that she knew she aimed the gun at me(cut back to the present) The next thing I remember, it was three weeks later and I woke up in a Covenant run hospital outside of Marseilles. Took me six monthsto fully recover. I've been working for them ever since.Sark: Were you behind them extracting me from the CIA?Allison: I wish I could claim credit for that. I onlylearned you were working for us recently.Sark: My tenure began shortly after my father's murder.

We have a source working inside the Russian government who's agreed to help us out.Lauren: They have theassassin's identity?Lindsay: Not yet. But apparently they hold information that could lead us to it.Lauren: Then why aren't they using it? Lazarey was a Russiandiplomat. You'd think they'd want that answer more than any of usLindsay: The Covenant doesn't want anyone to know they're behind the assassination.Lauren:And your source believes their reach extends so far within the Russian government that they can make that happen.Lindsay: You leave tonight. Any leak, and oursource could be compromised and killed. That means no one at the CIA can know about this, including your husband.(Lauren reacts to this news. The dread formsin her eyes and she sighs heavily and looks away. She's not looking forward to having to lie to Vaughn.)(Cut to two open suitcases on a bed. Slowly pan upwardto see Vaughn packing.

Now, the smooth endoplasmic reticulum is concerned with the manufacture of lipidmolecules. [bell rings] We'll continue on this next week. Keep up on your reading please.MADELINE: That was really distracting.PARIS: Oh. Well, by all means,Madeline, you should point out to the faculty that their annoying custom of teaching is distracting you from more important things like nail filing and daydreamingabout marrying Ryan Phillippe.LOUISE: Uh, he's already married.PARIS: Then whatever strawhead actor isn't.MADELINE: This was bad. For the last five minutes,every single thing she said sounded dirty.LOUISE: Yeah, same here.PARIS: Good God.MADELINE: I mean, reticulum? Come on.LOUISE: Plus, the golgi body. Imean, is it me or is that majorly pornographic?PARIS: My life with the Banger sisters.RORY: So, changing the subject. . .PARIS: Hallelujah.RORY: What'severybody doing for Thanksgiving?PARIS: I can't even talk about Thanksgiving.RORY: Louise?LOUISE: I\u0000m having dinner with my dad.MADELINE: Isn't he still injail?LOUISE: Yes, but his company donated some treadmills for the inmates so he swung a special trailer for dinner that they're gonna set up for us in the parkinglot. We have it for about two hours and then one of the Manson girls gets us.MADELINE: You're lucky it's in that order.PARIS: My Thanksgiving is turning into aWes Craven movie.RORY: How so?PARIS: I called shelters to volunteer to serve food. It's Thanksgiving \u0000 you'd think they have needs. Nope. Every stupid soupkitchen in town turned me down because they have enough volunteers.MADELINE: Bummer.PARIS: I'm on a couple waiting lists, but it doesn't look good.RORY:I've never heard of too many volunteers.PARIS: Who are all these jackasses who volunteered anyway? They can't all be students like me. They're not all putting iton a college application. I get something out of it and these other people don't get a thing. Talk about selfish.LOUISE: Sore subject.RORY: What are you up to,Madeline?MADELINE: I've got more college applications to fill out. Backups, safety schools.LOUISE: I've got some of that, too. I'm so behind.PARIS: I told youguys to have those things done by now.LOUISE: Sorry, Mom.PARIS: It's not about being sorry. It's about being prepared. I got Harvard and my backups in weeksago.MADELINE: Okay, all you're doing is making me more nervous. I'll see you guys Monday.LOUISE: Same here.RORY: Yup, see you guys Monday.PARIS:Harvard is going to be expecting Thanksgiving shelter work. They'll know I called too late and it will totally impugn my organizational skills. By the way, you knowI ultimately do all these things for the good of mankind, right?RORY: Oh yeah.PARIS: Sometimes I don't think I come off that way.RORY: No.[Paris' cell phonerings]PARIS: [answers phone] Hello? . . . Yes, thanks for returning my call. . . nothing? But wait, wait, wait \u0000 just stick me at any old pot. I'm small, you won'teven know I'm there, I'll even bring my own ladle. . . .Oh, now, come on, work with me here. I've got a slotted spoon. . . Well, what about coffee or condiments?You got condiments covered? . . . I'm sorry, can I speak to your supervisor? . . . My attitude? What about your attitude? I'm trying to help people. It'sThanksgiving. . .CUT TO STARS HOLLOW[Lorelai and Rory are walking down the sidewalk]RORY: So she coldcocked you, huh?LORELAI: She bit me, incapacitatedme with her poison, and devoured me whole.RORY: But how are we going to go to four Thanksgiving dinners?LORELAI: It's not four, is it?RORY: Lane's house,Sookie's, and we always stop by Luke's. . .that's three, and Grandma and Grandpa is four.LORELAI: Ah, we're mad, Edie.RORY: We're us, Edie.LORELAI: Well,we've gotta go to my parents' or we'll be brought up on war crimes. Lane's is always super early, so that's easy to catch. Sookie's is mid afternoon.RORY: Luke'sthe toughie.LORELAI: Guess that's the one we'll have to skip.RORY: Bummer.LORELAI: I know, but he won't care. Holidays are nothing to him anyway.[Kirk walksout of The Chat Club with several bags]LORELAI: Hey Kirk. Discover a new freaky fetish?KIRK: What?LORELAI: Nothing. You buy a cat?KIRK: Yup. I'm veryexcited.LORELAI: You seem it. So what's all this?RORY: I'm assuming there's nothing left in the store.KIRK: Actually, there are a number of things left.RORY: No,I meant you seem to be buying a lot of stuff.KIRK: Oh, sorry. My excitement must be clouding my ability to judge comedic hyperbole.LORELAI: So where'd youget the cat?KIRK: A lady had a bunch of them at the grocery store and Kirk seemed to take an instant liking to me.LORELAI: Kirk?KIRK: Yes?LORELAI: No, Imean, the cat's name is Kirk?KIRK: Yup.LORELAI: Weird coincidence or. . .KIRK: I named him Kirk.LORELAI: Isn't that confusing?KIRK: Not when you think aboutit.[Lorelai thinks about it]LORELAI: No, it's still confusing.KIRK: I like the name, and whenever I call Kirk's name, I obviously won't be calling myself.LORELAI:True.KIRK: Although when my mom calls for Kirk, that may be confusing. Maybe I can get her to say CatKirk when she's calling Kirk, and HumanKirk when she'scalling me.RORY: That would keep it straight.KIRK: I'm glad I ran into you. See ya.LORELAI: See ya, HumanKirk.RORY: Bye HumanKirk.[Kirk walks away]RORY:He's always been a cat person, he's just never had a cat.LORELAI: Hm.CUT TO LUKE'S DINER[Lorelai and Rory walk in]LORELAI: Hey.

Both are dressed in tuxedos, as are Niles, Martin and Bulldog who are also in theroom. Roz and Daphne are decked out in elegant eveningwear.Frasier: [opening the front door as the guest walks out] Glad you came back with us. I hope youhad a good time. Well, I can't tell you how much fun this has been. Listen, now that you know the way don't be a stranger. OK. Good night! [closes the door afterthe man] Who the hell was that?Niles: He's not from the station?Roz: I never saw him before.Daphne: He was table-hopping like crazy during the awards.Martin:That's 'cause he was our waiter.Frasier: Well, that's the last time I say, \"everybody back to my place!\"Bulldog: [holding up his SeaBea] Who cares about thatguy? This is a great night.Roz: For you, maybe. The rest of us lost.Bulldog: Hey, it's not important whether you win or lose. It's an honour just being nomin...[breaks into laughter] I couldn't get through that crap on stage, I can't get through it now!Roz: Frasier, do you mind if I use your phone?Frasier: No, not at all.Who are you calling? It's practically midnight.Roz: Oh, I promised my grandmother I'd leave her a message telling her how we did. [dials the number then startsspeaking into the phone] Hey Gammy, it's Roz. Guess what? We won again! We're all here celebrating.Roz holds up the phone to indicate they make some kind ofnoise of celebration. All they can muster is a half-hearted \"YEAH!\" sounding completely unconvincing.Roz: Listen, I gotta go. It's getting crazy here but I'll talk toyou tomorrow. Bye-bye.Niles: You lied to \"Gammy?\"Roz: Well, she's old and it makes her happy. She smiled for a week when I won the Miss SeattlePageant!Frasier: You know, Roz raises a very interesting philosophical question...Martin: [preparing for the worst] Oh, here we go. Buckle up!Frasier: Is it alwaysmorally wrong to lie? We are taught that it is. Though obviously there are certain occasions when a lie would be acceptable.Bulldog: Yeah, like the lies you tell achick in bed. \"You're the best I've ever been with\"; \"Your thighs don't look that fat\"; \"Don't worry, I've had a vasectomy.\" [Bulldog notes the disgusted facesaround the room] Hey, screw you guys! I'm an artist; we live by different rules.Niles: An argument can certainly be made that a lie is good when it sparessomeone unnecessary pain. I'm reminded of Maris's brief flirtation with active wear when I assured her, \"You look fine, darling. Spandex is supposed toblouse!\"Frasier: You know, Lilith actually told me the other day that Frederick has taken to lying. Yes, he told all of his friends that Lilith is an alien.[laughs]Martin: Seems as good an explanation as any!Frasier: He also told them that she wears her hair in a bun to hide the third eye in the back of her head.[laughs again]Roz: How did Lilith find out?Frasier: Well, apparently she was driving him and Toby to a Junior Mensa meeting, she looked in the rearview mirrorand saw that they were making faces at the other cars. So, never have the words \"I can see you!\" caused so much screaming and wetting of pants!Laughter allaround.Daphne: I did my fair share of fibbing too. I once told my school chums I was born with a tiny embryonic twin attached to my hip. [Daphne laughshilariously whilst the others look slightly perturbed] Of course they were horrified and it didn't help my social life at all. [sighs] But for a while there it was nicehaving a sister.Niles nods his head in sympathy before subtly removing the glass of champagne from Daphne's hand and passing it to Frasier who nods his headin agreement.Niles: Oh. Remember in prep school when we were so desperate to avoid The President's Physical Fitness Test...Frasier: ...that we lit a matchunderneath the fire alarm and all the sprinklers went off.Niles: And we blamed that delinquent kid, John Rajeski.Frasier: Yes.Martin: [appalled] You didwhat?Frasier: What's wrong?Martin: You two swore up and down to me that you never set off that alarm.Frasier: [laughing] Well, of course we weren't going totell you.Martin storms off into the kitchen.Niles: For Heaven's sake, Dad, you can't be mad. We were kids.Martin: [turning back] You know, the headmaster said itwas you two. I went down there and raised hell with him. I said, \"My kids don't lie.\" Because of you that Rajeski kid got expelled!Frasier: [shocked] Expelled? Ifwe'd have known that was going to happen we would have told the truth.Niles: [unrepentant] Not me. He was a brute and a meanie.Frasier: You're right. He usedto make the most merciless fun of me, about how I always wore my gym shorts in the shower. He used to call me \"Shorts In The Shower Boy.\" You don't have tobe witty to be cruel.Martin: Well, I don't give a damn what that kid did. Getting him expelled was worse. [angrily] I'm going to bed. Good night,everybody.Everyone says good night as Martin goes through to the bedroom.Frasier: Well, I guess that brings an end to our little debate. Apparently there are nogood lies.Bulldog: Hey, hey, it's getting kinda heavy in here. We gotta liven this place up, huh? Hey, I know - party games, huh? All right Doc, I'm going to need ablindfold, whipped cream and a glass coffee table. [everyone looks mystified] What? Nobody went to camp?Roz: [getting up] Forget it, Bulldog. These guys are nofun. [grabs his butt as she walks past] You know what? I know a great after-hours place where we can go get a few drinks.Bulldog: [rushing after Roz to the frontdoor] Now you're talking. Hey, if things go well I know an after after-hours place. And I got the keys.Roz: Mmm. You get the elevator; I'll get my coat.Bulldog:You're on.Bulldog rushes out and Roz closes the door behind him, firmly locking it.Roz: No good lies, my ass!Daphne laughs and Frasier and Niles toast each otherwith their champagne.[SCENE_BREAK]Scene 2 - Café Nervosa. Niles walks in and sees Frasier sitting down. Niles hangs up his coat before sitting down. It isapparent that both brothers are wearing exactly the same suit right down to the shirt and tie.Niles: Good morning, Frasier.Frasier: Oh, good morning, Niles...[suddenly notices Niles's suit] Oh dear God - it's finally happened. This is the thanks I get for introducing you to my personal shopper. I gave her specificinstructions to write down every article of clothing that I had purchased so we could avoid this sort of calamity!Niles: I didn't use Renaldo. This suit just caughtmy eye while I was shopping for shoes.Niles and Frasier suddenly stop and stare tentatively at each other's shoes. They both reel back in horror as they realisethey've got the same as well.Niles: [annoyed] Well, why didn't you also take my strong chin and swimmer's build?Frasier: Oh please.Niles: Obviously we have tosit apart.Frasier: Sit down! There's something I need to talk to you about. I doubt most people are as tuned to these things as you and I are. I'm sure they won'teven notice.At this point the waitress approaches with two coffees.Waitress: [to Frasier] Here you are, double espresso. [to Niles] I took a chance and broughtyou the same thing. [leaves]Frasier: After our conversation last night I couldn't stop thinking about our getting John Rajeski expelled. I didn't sleep a wink.Niles:You can't be serious?Frasier: You mean it didn't bother you? Where is your conscience?Niles: Perhaps it fell into the quad - along with my hall monitor beret whenJohn hung me from the flagpole! He was going to be expelled sooner or later. You cannot guilt me into feeling bad.Frasier: Yes, well, no one hated him more thanI did but I still think we owe him an apology. Can I borrow your phone, Niles?Niles: Certainly. [hands over phone then suddenly realises] You're not going to callhim?Frasier: I am.Niles: Are you insane?Frasier: [speaking into the phone] A number for a John Rajeski, please? [speaking to Niles] Niles, my conscience won'trest until the two of us have said we're sorry. [speaking into phone] Oh yes, connect me please.Niles: Leave me out of this. I'm not sorry. But don't tell him that.And if he asks, I'm living in Italy. No, no, France. No, Italy!Frasier: [speaking into the phone] Yes, hello. Is John Rajeski there, please? It's an old friend... Oh, I'mterribly sorry to hear that. Thank you. [hangs up] Niles, it's worse than we thought - he's in prison.Niles: [smug] Well... who's wearing shorts in the showernow?Frasier: Well, joke all you like. I still can't help thinking this is all our fault.Niles: How?Frasier: Well, he was always on the cusp. Maybe he couldn't get intoanother prep school. Maybe he had to go to public. Got in with the wrong crowd. Couldn't hold on to a job. He could turn to a life of crime.Niles: Frasier.Sometimes bad things happen to bad people. We did not set him on the path to prison.Frasier: Yes, well until I'm sure of that fact my conscience will not rest. Ihave got to speak with him. [to waiter] Can I have the check, please?Niles: [incredulous] You're not going down to the jail?Frasier: Yes, I am. I invite you to joinme.Niles: [sarcastic] Yes, that's a good idea, Frasier. The Crane boys going to a prison in matching outfits![SCENE_BREAK]DEAD MAN TALKINGScene 3 - Theprison. Frasier is nervously walking round a room bare except for a table and two chairs in the middle of the floor. John Rajeski is brought in by a guard.[N.B.John Rajeski is actually the name of one of the show's producer's assistants. He appears as a Cafe Nervosa waiter in [3.24], \"You Can Go Home Again.\"]John:Frasier Crane?Frasier: John.John: [smiling and shaking his hand] Hey. How's it going?Frasier: Well, fine. And you?John: Eh... [shrugs and waves at hissurroundings] What brings you down here?Frasier: Well, I don't know if you get the alumni magazine, but I became a psychiatrist, and I'm currently conducting astudy on men behind bars and how they got there... [notices John's fists] That's an awfully nasty bruise on your knuckles.John: [laughs] I caught some guy usingmy comb. I really hate it when people touch my stuff.Niles: Oh, yes. I remember my brother Niles once sat in your chair in the cafeteria. As I recall you put himon a tray and ran him through the dishwasher.John: Yeah, class clown - that was me. [both laugh at this] How is Niles, anyway?Frasier: Ah, er... ah, he's abroadnow.John: Really? Whoa, that must have hurt.Frasier: No, no, I mean, er... yes, I suppose it did! Well anyway, it would be an enormous help in my study if youcould perhaps pinpoint the moment or event in your life that led you to here.John: Ah, that's easy. I'm doing time for passing a bad check.Frasier: Ah. [beginswriting in his notebook]John: You see, I wanted to get my wife something nice. We're going through a rough time recently. I was scared she was going to leaveme, you know?Frasier: [relieved] Well, that was quick and painless. We've identified the point where you fell off the beam. [gets up to leave]John: Actuallythough, I was already on probation. I did some time about ten years back for driving a car that didn't belong to me.Frasier: And that was your firstinfraction?John: Yeah.Frasier: [getting up again] Well then, case closed, mystery solved.

Stay back![Cellphone rings.]- Mike. - Theoretically, do you thinkit's possible to train a bull to kill on command? Oh, you're still banging on about that? Well, you have to admit it's intriguing. That Collins guy was an idiot. Ithought that was the official verdict. Not in those exact words. But yeah. Essentially, yes.- SIMS: So? - [Sighs.] Maybe I'm being too optimistic about the humanrace, but I find it hard to believe that someone can be that stupid. Yeah, well, there are some spectacularly stupid people - out there. - I know. But, in theory, doyou think it's possible to train a bull to kill on command? Look, Mike, I have to go. It might be your day off, but it's not mine, and, actually, I've got a death todeal with. Should I be there? No, no. It's a middle-aged cyclist pushed it too hard. Heart attack. So why are CIB involved?SIMS: The uniform branch arestretched, so I stepped in. The good news is, Breen lost rock-paper-scissors, so I sent him to inform next of kin. Oh, so you've got time to talk about the bullthing. Uh [Imitates static hissing.] We're breaking up, Mike. I'll talk to you later. - [Cellphone rings.] - Oh, good Lord. Another one? - Yes, another one.- GREENE:Who? Lester Nyman. Heart attack yesterday. - Oh, dear.- MADISON: Will you come in, or do I send this out? Uh, no, no. I'll come in. Good. Everything will beready this afternoon.[Police radio chatter.]In theory, you can train any animal. I mean, they trained orcas, right? And that didn't turn out so well for both man orbeast. But if you can train a big fish, you can train a bull, right? Orcas are mammals, not fish. But a bull is a mammal.- SIMS: Yes. - Here we go. Thank you. Gotyou a trim. Look, Mike, I'd love to dwell on your bull-as-assassin theory, but I have a dead cyclist to process here. Oh, on that note, when I told Mrs. Nymanabout the death of her husband, she was a little weird.[Knocking.]- Yes? - Mrs. Tammie Nyman? - Yes. - Detective Constable Breen. Um, I-I have some bad news.Can I come in? Uh Wait. Did you say \"Nyman\"?BREEN: Yeah. Wife of Lester Nyman, the dead guy on the bike. The bull thing happened on the Nyman farm. Ithought bull guy was Collins. Yeah, but the witness was a Trevor Nyman, the farmer. Trevor Nyman, Lester Nyman's brother, was the first man at the scene whenLester dropped dead. So, what are we thinking here? - A very good question, indeed. - [Cellphone rings.] Gina, what can I do for you? Mike. It always makes melaugh when you answer your phone, \"Gina, how can I do you?\" That's not actually what I say, Gina. It's more \"what can I do for you?\" Same thing. No. What'sup? Or perhaps down. This is a Mr. Lester Nyman. Ah. The cyclist. - Okay. - Yes. The face-first thing is unusual. Yes. Heart attack, wasn't it? Yes. I sourced hisrecords, and given his medical history, a heart attack is most likely. But if he had a heart condition, what was he doing riding to the top of Whakamoho Mountain?Mm, because cycling is awesome? - It is? - Man. Machine. Fresh air. Gets the blood flowing. Feel the tingle of life in your extremities. You don't like cycling, Mike?- Never been a fan, no.- KADINSKY: Pity. I think Lycra brings out the best in men. Okay.[Clears throat.]Uh if it was a heart attack, what am I doing here? This.You see this rash? - [Remote clicks.] - This reaction, it troubles me. I hear you on that. Not what I would expect. - Chafing? - No. No signs of friction. And chafingwould be lower between legs. This is a reaction to something. - Poison? - Call it instinct, but something is not right about this. I'll notify the coroner. I was hopingyou would say that.BREEN: You know, instead of \"poison\" and \"bull,\" you could have just written \"stupid\" and \"death wish,\" right? Or just not written anything atall, - because there's no evidence - Yet. Yet to suggest that either of these are anything other than what they are. - There's a rash.- SIMS: Maybe they changedtheir laundry detergent, and he had a reaction to that. Meanwhile Manu Collins. Is there something to suggest there's anything out of the ordinary? Apart fromeverything? So, where's the bull now?TREVOR: We put it in another paddock. Thought it was probably best. Are you saying Manu Collins just ran straight at thebull? Like I said, we were out here, talking, and You've heard of the festival of San FermÃn, right? - [Bull bellows.] - The running of the bulls? The Spanishcelebration of fleeing with soiled trousers? Yeah.MANU: Well, that's what I'm gonna do with my money. Yeah, see, I want to be one of those guys who gatherwhere the bulls are released, and then, when they emerge out onto the street, - run towards the bulls. - [Sighs.] But then, at the last minute, turn around andthen run with them. Yeah. Yeah, that's what I'm gonna do.TREVOR: What are you doing? I'm so totally gonna be that guy. Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo![Laughs.]Theystress the bull out, running at it like that. The bull just did what bulls do when they get stressed.[Manu laughing, bull bellows.]Maybe he would have made it. But- Ooh! Ooh! sh1t! - [Bull snorts.] But by the time I distracted it Oi! Phft! Phft! it was way too late.[Thud, Manu coughs.]Was Mr. Collins prone to doing things likethat? You mean being an idiot? Yeah, I guess. I don't know. I only knew him a couple of days.[Gunshot.]That'll be Mrs. McTavish. She works here. She reckonsonce they've done something like this, you [Sighs.] you don't want 'em 'round. I see a candidate for a Darwin Award maybe, but not for murder.[Sighs.]TrevorNyman has been a witness to or first on the scene of two deaths over, what, the last two months? Bad run of luck for Trev.BREEN: Yeah, and then some. It's notbeen a good year for the Nyman clan. Six months ago, Trevor's father, Karl Nyman, killed himself. Put a shotgun in his mouth out at the farm. Guess who foundthe body. And then, two weeks ago, a Jethro Nyman drowned while Jet-Skiing off the coast of Riverstone. Way off. Any mention of Trevor in relation to that?Nope. Missing for a week before the body washed up.SIMS: Anything to suggest foul play? Not as yet. You know, it could just be a run of really lousy luck for theNymans. No one has that much bad luck. Come on. Oh.[Sighs.]SHEPHERD: This really is a great spot, isn't it?TREVOR: Yeah, it is.Look, is there some kind ofproblem here?SHEPHERD: Not at all. It's just a routine follow-up about your brother Lester's death. Oh, there was nothing I could do. He was dead by the time Igot there.SHEPHERD: I'm sorry for your loss. - Thank you. - Or losses, actually. There's been a bit of a bad run for your family lately. Yeah, I suppose. Your fatherdied a while back? He committed suicide, yeah. Bit of a shock, I imagine. No, not really. He was dying anyway. He just chose where and when. So it wasn't asurprise? Well, it wasn't pleasant walking into that barn, but no, it wasn't a surprise. And, um, now your brother.TREVOR: Lester knew he had a dodgy ticker. Hetook it as a challenge. In what way? He thought he could laugh in the face of death. Death won. Jethro Nyman Is he a relation?TREVOR: He was. A cousin. AndManu Collins also a cousin, you said.TREVOR: Sort of. Sort of? At my father's will reading, we learned that he had a whole other family. - Over in Riverstone. -Oh. So less of a cousin and more of a half brother? - Yeah.- SHEPHERD: You learned this - upon reading of the will?- TREVOR: Yep. Look, what the hell has thisgot to do with my brother Lester - having a heart attack? - Oh! Just tell him. - He'll find out anyway.- TREVOR: [Sighs.] This is Mrs. McTavish. She kind of runsthe house. No \"kind of\" about it. It's a will. It's a public document. Police want to find out, all they have to do is look. My father's will and the reading wassomewhat of a revelation. Why all the chairs?MADISON: For all the people asked to attend the will reading. What, as witnesses? - No.- MRS.McTAVISH:Oh.Bloody typical. I have to bring in me own bloody chair. Take a seat, Trevor.[Mid-tempo music plays.]Madison. Been so long since we've spoken Don't evenknow what you would say Still I made some promises, and I keep 'em anyway 'Cause somewhere there's a place Where the light keeps shining throughMADISON: Come in. I'll be talking with myself tonight Still no word from you There should be one more person. Magnus Nyman. Spoken to Dad lately? Haven'tspoken to the old b*st*rd in I don't know two years. He didn't come to Dad's funeral either. His own brother, and he didn't show. Okay, well, let's proceed withouthim. For those who don't know me, I'm Madison Mathers, a lawyer with the firm of Emerson, Bogart & Nash. Karl Nyman has appointed me to be the executor ofhis last will and testament. As part of this will, he stipulated that I assemble you all here for the reading of said will. Thank you all for coming. \"I, Karl HaraldNyman, being of sound mind and body, do hereby declare\" You don't need to bore them with the details, boy. Just get to the bit about Tonto.[Chuckles.]Thetontine.MRS.McTAVISH: Yeah, that thing.My father, in his will, left this farm, the bank accounts, everything, to 10 people in the form of what is called a tontine.Uh, sorry. A what? I think we all better have a nice cup of tea. - Hmm?- TREVOR: [Sighs.] So, a tontine is named after a bloke by the name of Lorenzo de Tonti inthe 1600s as a kind of insurance/investment thingy. But the guts of it A group of people share something of value. When one of them dies The surviving membersdivvy up the share between them. Something like that, yeah. So, where, once, 10 people owned the Nyman farm, now there are - Seven.- SHEPHERD: Mm. Orsix, depending on the whereabouts of Magnus Nyman. Okay, so, let's say there are seven. What was once a 10% share is now a BREEN: 14.[SCENE_BREAK]I'mquite good at doing maths in my head. Okay, Mr. Maths Genius, what does the remaining person get?[SCENE_BREAK]- SHEPHERD: You are good.But does thatinclude spouses?BREEN: No. A share in a tontine is a right of survivorship to only those within the original group. How apt.BREEN: But who are all these people?So Okay, so, we've got the sons, Lester and Trevor. Okay. And then there's the brother, Magnus, and the nephews, Jethro and Oscar. Got that. Uh, but thenthere's this other family? We learned he had kids to this other woman over in Riverstone when he was dying. Wasted on pills, he decided to tell us. First time Iever laid eyes on them was at the funeral. That added to the fun. The mother of this second family Is she still around? Dead. Years ago. Like most of the women"}

Nothingis sacred. That's scary.Narrator: Some 30 miles northeast of Denver, Colorado, lies the small town of fort Lupton. One of the town's most popular restaurants iswholly Stromboli, the passion project of owner Melissa Rickman. Wholly Stromboli's been a dream of mine since I was about 20. Just for years, it's all I couldthink about. I daydreamed about it. So when I got laid off from corporate America, my husband said, \"well, why don't you do it?\"Narrator: The restaurant opensin 2010, and not long afterwards, mysterious and confusing things start to occur. I would walk in for the morning, set down my coffee, turn off the alarm. Comeback, and my coffee was gone. And I thought, \"oh, I left it in the car.\" Then, go out, and it's not in the car, so come back, and... There's the coffee. Wow. Okay.There's no logical explanation for that. There's -- there's none.Narrator: The activity soon intensifies. Thank you so much.(Child giggles)Oh, my god! Anapparition of a little girl starts appearing in the restaurant. I hadn't had any experience prior to this with ghosts, but it's not my imagination. No, no, no, no,no.(Child giggling)Narrator: And soon, there would be no doubts.Rickman: I walked into the kitchen to talk to the sauté chef, and every pan comes just flying offthe shelf.(Woman screams)And with such force. It was just foom! -- right on the floor. Oh, my god! Like, \"holy cow.\" The chef, she was terrified.(Womenscreaming)It's scary.Narrator: Fearing for the safety of her staff and customers, Melissa contacts a group of paranormal investigators.Estep: Melissa called meout of her mind with worry. She wanted to get to the bottom of some of the activity that was going on there. She wanted to be able to tell her staff that they hadno reason to be afraid.Narrator: Richard Estep has spent over 20 years researching claims of ghostly activity.Estep: I've learned that 90% of claims of theparanormal have no grounding, so it's very easy to say that you don't believe in ghosts and you may never encounter one. But at some point in your life,statistically, there's a chance that you will, and at that point, it's going to make you change your entire world view.Narrator: Melissa's experiences convinceRichard to look into her case.Estep: I was satisfied that there was enough evidence there to merit us going on site at wholly Stromboli. Something clearly is goingon.Narrator: First, Richard looks into the history of the property that houses the restaurant.Estep: The building was built in the early 1900s and owned by a localbusinessman named Edgar St. John.(Girl coughing)And he had a daughter named Julia who tragically is said to have died at the age of 7 of pneumonia.(Coughingcontinues)Narrator: Could this be the little girl that haunts the dining room and is responsible for all the activity in the restaurant?Richard assembles his team andheads to fort Lupton to find out.Estep: Most of the activity, it's in the basement, which is where the voices have been heard. And that's where I want to direct myinvestigation. The sounds, the echoes, and the acoustics are very, very creepy and spooky. Even I am starting to feel that there is an oppressive atmospheredown in this basement. Melissa is the focus of a lot of the activity here, so we wanted Melissa with us.Narrator: Also present is Richard's co-investigator, RobbinDaidone. I've been a paranormal investigator almost 18 years, so I've had a lot of experience. Pretty seasoned. I don't think there's much I haven't seen. Therewas definitely a sense when we started the investigation that there was something present, perhaps. There was a feeling of being watched.(Girllaughing)Narrator: They don't have to wait long before their feelings are vindicated.(Girl laughing)Estep: The voice of a young girl is heard.This is a voice that'slaughing out of the darkness.(Girl laughing)Oh, my god. And then we started to see equipment after equipment fail. We have EMF meters, thermometers, Geigercounter failing. We had several sets of cameras fail. Batteries were reading dead. And this is classic in the paranormal field. One set of batteries fails? oh, that's ashame. Twice? huh. That's kind of odd. Three times? There is something in here that is taking this juice and is using it for its own purposes. I was a little on edge.Melissa looked a little nervous. There was definitely a feeling in the air like this may be a time for something to occur.Narrator: Gaining an energy, the activityintensifies to become physical. Something just touched me. I saw that! I saw her hood get tugged. It was like physically somebody tugged her hoodie, but, youknow, there was nobody there. Something just pulled my jacket! Something just pulled me. That sent a different kind of chill through the investigative team. Sonow you start looking out of the corner of your eye, you start looking at every shadow with a renewed level of suspicion.(Tapping)We hear the sound of footstepson the floor above, which would be the restaurant floor, coming down through our ceiling in the basement.(Tapping)(Tapping continues)They're childlike footstepsrunning across the floor.Narrator: Richard leads the team upstairs, hoping to catch a glimpse of the little-girl ghost, Julia. But when they arrive, they're shockedby what they see.Estep: This is a solid shadow figure. I've heard about them all my career. I'm seeing it. It's incredible. Genuinely taken aback. Suddenly, I seethis shadow figure. I'm stunned.Rickman: Disbelief. Disbelief and \"oh, my gosh. I can't believe we just saw that.\"Narrator: The encounter forces Richard into atroubling realization. The ghost of Julia is not the only entity haunting the restaurant. Who knows what it is, and who knows what its intentions are?Narrator:Believing the shadow has moved to the basement, the team heads back downstairs.Rickman: Immediately, people were a little bit apprehensive. There'sdefinitely a creep factor.Estep: We start asking questions, very respectfully, \"we invite any spirit that might be present to make its presence known, to talk withus.\" If there's someone here, please present yourself. Who are you?! Are you attached to Melissa?!Narrator: The entity doesn't want to talk. It has other, moresinister plans. I started to feel pressure in my chest, just like heavy, weighted down. Oh, god. Oh, my god.(Groans)Narrator: In a haunted restaurant inColorado...Something just pulled my jacket! ...Paranormal investigator Richard Estep and his team have encountered an entity in the basement. Oh, god. Nowowner Melissa Rickman is overwhelmed by a sinister force. I started to feel pressure in my chest, just like heavy, weighted down. Oh, god. Um, and I can't reallyexplain why, but suddenly, I began to cry, sobbing, just sobbing uncontrollably, just the most sad feeling I've ever had.(Crying)Daidone: I was mostly concernedfor her emotional well-being.I could see that she was emotionally frayed. She was just one big bundle of nerves.(Sobbing)And then that emotion transformed intoanger. And suddenly, Melissa is getting very, very aggressive.(Growling)Melissa becomes someone else. (Breathing heavily) Melissa! During that time, I felt trulyangry. I was -- I was pissed, and I couldn't -- I couldn't tell you why. And every time she said something, I retorted, although I didn't feel like it was me.Estep:So, as a paramedic for 14 years in emergency medical services, I've seen a number of psychotic episodes. This wasn't that. This was something that presentedvery, very differently and had a very different vibe to it. You shut up, you (bleep) (bleep)(Growls)I was feeling threatened. It wasn't like I was choosing to saythings. It just felt like they were just coming out of my mouth. And I felt horrible. I said some things to her that I would never say. I was terrified. I was reallyscared.Narrator: Richard is beginning to fear that Melissa is becoming possessed. We know that it's not Melissa herself that's doing this. We know that there issomething that is goading her on, that is provoking her to this type of behavior. It felt like all of the emotion in my body just welled up and exploded. And then Iheard Robbin say, \"her fists are clenched.\" She's saying, \"I want to hurt you, and I want to hurt you bad.\" And, of course, I'm becoming concerned. I'm watchingher for any sudden movement. She's only a foot or two away from me. I am gonna kill you! And Melissa was getting ready to attack.(Melissa screaming)It'scompletely unpredictable. It's completely out of character, and that adds an element of danger to our investigation, and we had to very quickly break thatup.(Screaming)This is the first case my team has worked on where we felt genuinely physically threatened by somebody present on the scene. Very concerning,absolutely. Absolutely. So, we actually decide that we're going to wrap up the investigation earlier than we ordinarily would and help coax her back tonormal.Narrator: As soon as she leaves the basement, Melissa is released from the entity's grasp. I don't remember saying half the things I said. I don't. Iwould've told you that that wasn't me. When words are just flying out of your mouth and you don't know why, it's pretty unnerving. My assessment of whollyStromboli is that they have multiple entities there. We have one that appears to be a little girl. We have this older male shadow figure. It's difficult to tell what thepurpose is of whatever is haunting the restaurant. Is it simply seeking attention, or is there something darker and more sinister?Narrator: To protect her fromfurther attacks, they perform a blessing on Melissa. Out! out, demon! Begone! Whatever possessed her seems to have been removed. But the spirit of the littlegirl remains. Our line cooks still hear a little girl either giggling and playing or crying in the basement.(Girl giggling)I don't mind sharing the space with thetenants of the past. The building wouldn't be there if it weren't for them, so if they want to hang out, I'm all right with that.Narrator: But Richard worries that thenegative entity may yet return. Right now I'm content to just monitor and watch and wait for Melissa to call me if things should take a turn for the worse again.I'm not entirely sure yet, but I do know that the last chapter in the story of the wholly Stromboli haunting has not yet been written.Narrator: Coming up, when achild's imaginary friend turns out to be something much more sinister...(Boy screaming)...An investigator has to call in backup to save the boy. It was definitelydemon-induced.(Speaking in tongues)Narrator: But first, when a young family is tormented by paranormal activity, one investigator is forced to confront hisworst fears.Something was gonna grab me.(Woman screaming)Narrator: The historic town of Medway, Massachusetts, is home to Greg and Lyla Pierson.Their"}

I had a hair in the ear, the other day and Ihave to spend oil spray pain on my shins several times a day because of growing pains. It smells really bad, but I mask the smell with lots of flavor. It's hardbeing a guy my age (flashback of the night: he plays to the console) between the Glee Club, football, my popularity, I'm like overwhelmed. Everyone expectssomething from me and I do not have enough energy for everything!

Anne!(ANNE answers thedoor and lets an exhausted STEVEN in.)ANNE: Oh, monsieur! I'd given you up for lost when you didn't come back last night and I thought the guards must havecaught you.STEVEN: (Breathless.) Yes, they nearly did. I managed to shake them off. I'm sorry, the curfew rang before I could get back last night. The guardswere still looking for me this morning. That's why I've been so long.(He takes his sword off.)ANNE: Did you see Monsieur Muss and give him yourmessage?STEVEN: Oh, yes. The warning was too late.(He puts his sword down.)ANNE: What will you do now? Go back to your friend? The Doctor.STEVEN:(Despondent.) I can't Anne. He's dead.ANNE: (Shocked.) Monsieur!STEVEN: I saw his body lying in the street by the Abbot's house. Before I could do anythingRoger Colbert saw me and sent the guards after me again.

Without it I can't leave.ANNE: Well do you know where itis?STEVEN: No. If the Doctor had it with him then I'm lost. I...I didn't had time to look for it. My only hope is that it's still with his own clothes.ANNE: Could it beat the Abbot's house?STEVEN: Oh, no. No. He'd have had to change before he went there.

But by blaming the death of the Abbot on the Huguenots we may be able to cover our tracks.SIMON: Will the King pay any attention to theAbbot's death?MARSHAL TAVANNES: I don't know. Fortunately the Admiral himself is helping us. He doesn't want the inquiry yet so that may give us a littletime.SIMON: Therefore the Englishman must be caught.MARSHAL TAVANNES: And killed. He must not be allowed to get back to the Abbot's house.SIMON: Themen are searching Paris for him.MARSHAL TAVANNES: He must be found tonight. Tomorrow is St. Bartholomew's Day and it will be all too easy for him to evadeus in the revelry.(A messenger knocks at the door and enters, giving a written message to TAVANNES.

I don't have any coffee.Joyce: Oh, no thank you, I, uh... You don't drink? Beverages, I mean?Angel: No, I do. It's justthe caffeine. It makes me jittery.Joyce: Oh. I understand Buffy spent the night.Angel: I'm sorry about that. We came back after patrol.Joyce: I, I'm not interestedin the details. That's not why I'm here.Angel: Okay.Joyce: I'm here because I'm worried about you two. In general.Angel: What happened before, when Ichanged, it won't happen again.Joyce: That's not all I'm concerned about. I don't have to tell you that you and Buffy are from different worlds.Angel: No, youdon't.Joyce: She's had to deal with a lot. Grew up fast. Sometimes even I forget that she's still just a girl.Angel: I'm old enough to be her ancestor.Joyce: She'sjust starting out in life.Angel: I know. I think about it more now that she's staying in Sunnydale.Joyce: Good. Because when it comes to you, Angel, she's just likeany other young woman in love. You're all she can see of tomorrow. But I think we both know that there are some hard choices ahead. If she can't make them,you're gonna have to. I know you care about her. I just hope you care enough.[SCENE_BREAK]In the library. Willow, Oz, Buffy, and Xander.Buffy: So it was blueand sorta short.Willow: Not too shore, medium. And it had this weird, sorta fringey stuff on its arms.Giles: (walking in) What's that, a demon?Buffy: A prom dressthat Will was thinking of getting. Can't you ever get your mind out of the hellmouth?Giles: I'd be delighted to. However, the day of the Mayor's Ascension is fastapproaching and we don't know what to expect.Xander: Well, what about the pages that Will stole from the Mayor's book? Look, she put her life on the line there,pal. Don't tell me they're useless.Giles: On the contrary, no, we, uh, we know the Ascension refers to a human transforming into a demon, the living embodimentof an immortal. And Graduation Day, our Mayor Wilkins is scheduled to do just that. Wesley enters, followed closely by Cordelia.Wesley: (enters) Trouble is, wedon't know which demon he is going to become.Giles: There are thousands of species.Wesley: So, it's safe to say we shouldn't waste any time of such triflingmatters as a school dance.Cordelia: Well, that's too bad, because I bet you would look way 007 in a tux.Wesley: Except, of course, on the actual night, I will beaiding Mr. Giles in his chaperoning duties.Giles: What? Excuse me? Fine, fine, fine.Buffy: (to Willow) We'll get you a dress. You know, we should check AprilFools.Cordelia: Don't go there! I shop there.Xander: I myself am dipping into my road trip fund to procure a shiny new tux, so look for me to dazzle.Giles: And Imyself will be wearing pink taffeta as chenille would not go with my complexion. Can we *please* talk about the Ascension?Buffy: Giles, we get it. Miles to gobefore we sleep. But especially if we're all gonna vaporize or something on Graduation Day, we deserve a little prommy fun. One night of glory, not to much toask.[SCENE_BREAK]Daylight. Exterior shot of a dingy suburban house. Inside. A hand loads a videotape into a VCR. Pan to a snarling creature, roughlyhumanoid, in a wire cage. The creatures struggles are warping the cage sides. One corner has already come loose.[SCENE_BREAK]Daylight. Exterior shot of acathedral. Inside. Angel and Buffy in wedding clothes stand at an altar before a priest.Priest: Into this holy estate, these two persons present now come to bejoined. If any man can show just cause why they should not be lawfully joined together, let him speak now, or else, hereinafter, hold his peace. The priest's voicefades under the swelling music. The camera pans around the couple until it looks from the priest's viewpoint. Behind them, the chapel is empty. The doors at theback are open, and the sunlight is bright against the interior darkness. They exchange rings. They kiss. They walk to the exterior doors, hand in hand. The musicturns darker. Buffy looks very happy, but Angel looks apprehensive. As they leave the church, they separate and stand a few feet apart at the top of the steps.Angel squints up at the sky, but does not burst into flame.Buffy: Angel? A flame appears on Buffy's exposed skin and rapidly engulfs her. Angel looks on in shock.Buffy burning body crumbles to ashes. Angel wakes up from the nightmare.Fade to commercial.[SCENE_BREAK]In a sewer tunnel. Buffy and Angel enter througha manhole in the roof of the tunnel and start walking.Buffy: I always say patrol's not complete without a trip to the stinky sewers.Angel: I'm sure I saw him comedown here.Buffy: Couldn't we just let this be the vamp that got away? We could say he was this big. (Holds hands apart, like a fish story.)Angel: What can I say?I need closure.Buffy: You need clothes. You don't have a tux, do you?Angel: Since when did patrolling go black tie?Buffy: For the prom, silly.Angel: We havemore important things to think about right now than a dance, Buffy.Buffy: Sorry, Giles. I'll just be quiet.Angel: Come on, don't be that way. A vampire drops fromthe roof, growling.Buffy: Not now. Buffy casually stakes the vampire and turns to Angel.Buffy: I'm not being that way. Every time I say the word 'prom', you getgrouchy.Angel: I'm sorry. I'm just worried that you're getting too...invested in this whole thing.Buffy: What whole thing? Isn't this the stuff that I'm supposed toget invested in? Going to a formal, graduating, growing up.Angel: I know.Buffy: Then what? What's with the dire?Angel: It's uh, it's nothing.Buffy: No, you have'something' face.Angel: I think we need to talk, but not now and not here.Buffy: No. No, if you have something to say, then say it. (silence) Angel, drop thecryptic. You're scaring me.Angel: I've been thinking... about our future. And the more I do, the more I feel like us, you and me being together, is unfair toyou.Buffy: Is this about what the Mayor said? Because he was just trying to shake us up.Angel: He was right.Buffy: No. No, he wasn't. He's the bad guy.Angel:You deserve more. You deserve something outside of demons and darkness. You should be with someone who can take you into the light. Someone who canmake love to you.Buffy: I don't care about that.Angel: You will. And children.Buffy: Children? Can you say jumping the gun? I kill my goldfish.Angel: Today. Butyou have no idea how fast it goes, Buffy. Before you know it, you'll want it all, a normal life.Buffy: I'll never have a normal life.Angel: Right, you'll always be aSlayer. But that's all the more reason why you should have a real relationship instead of this, this freak show. (Buffy is stunned.) I didn't mean that.Buffy: I'm"}

More than his two minutes.CORDO: Listen. In the vent! He's made it!CORDO: Leela!DOCTOR: Who was making all thatnoise?MANDRELL: I was, Doctor.DOCTOR: I told you not to use that radio link.BISHAM: We had to tell you that your time was up, Doctor.DOCTOR: You told theCollector, too!

It may not be wise to travel in thesubways until the trouble has been suppressed.COLLECTOR: What trouble?COMMANDER: It appears that some of the work units are refusing to leave theirdormers, Excellency.HADE: Refusing to leave? I've never heard of such a thing.COLLECTOR: This situation must be normalised.

I am becoming what I despise.(Blood donor van.)SYDNEY: I tell myself Igot into this to bring Danny's killers to justice. The truth is, I'm more interested in revenge.(Sydney is starting to lose it; punching the bag without muchcontrol.)SYDNEY: (voice over) I thought I could stay in control. It's just gotten so twisted.(Blood donor.)SYDNEY: Like with Khasinau. The one tangible goal is tofind him so that I can find my mother. But if I do that, if I can find his trail and track him down, it'll strengthen SD-6.(In the training room, Sydney is nowbreathing hard and sweaty. Hair is stuck to her face with sweat. She takes off her glove to see that blood has seeped through the bandage. Bright red blood soaksthrough the white bandage.)SYDNEY: (voice over) I got into this to bring them down and now I feel like I'm on their side.(In the blood donor van, Vaughn looksat Sydney for a moment, not knowing how to explain. He suddenly gets up and moves to the counter. He gets out the map he revealed to her in episode two andspreads it out in front of her once again.)VAUGHN: This is the world of SD-6 when we started. Remember?(Sydney can only nod with tears in her eyes. Vaughnflips over a transparent cover that reveals who's been taken out since he first showed it to her. Little red circles with a slice through it are over themap.)VAUGHN: And here is what it looks like today. And this doesn't even take into account things like Badenweiler or stealing page forty-seven from Sloane'svault. Or the way you kept Khasinau from getting his hands on that ampule. Sydney, these are incredible accomplishments.SYDNEY: Khasinau is out theresomewhere.VAUGHN: Yes.SYDNEY: My mom is out there.VAUGHN: (sighs) We will find them.SYDNEY: I have to go to class.(She smiles helplessly and gets up toleave. When she walks by him, he stops her by taking her hand.)VAUGHN: Wait.(He gets up and takes out a first aid kit from one of the cupboards.

Otherwise, you're just wasting your time.(Self-storage. Sydney and Vaughn have a pow-wow.)SYDNEY: I can't believe I didn't think of this before. Wecan make Khasinau come to us.VAUGHN: What are you thinking?SYDNEY: The vial of liquid. The Rambaldi solution.VAUGHN: The one the CIA now has?SYDNEY:That's why Khasinau had a team to break into SD-6. He wants that solution.(Director Devlin's office at the CIA. Vaughn enters.)VAUGHN: Sir, with respect toAlexander Khasinau, I'd like to suggest a course of action.DEVLIN: Quickly. I've got a meeting with the senior review team from NIC.VAUGHN: Remember theampule? The vial of liquid we got from SD-6 that allowed us to read page forty-seven of the Rambaldi manuscript?DEVLIN: Uh-huh.(Back toself-storage.)SYDNEY: What I'm suggesting is a black market sale. Third party.VAUGHN: Hold on. Khasinau still thinks that vial is in the SD-6 vault.SYDNEY: Yes.So we say there's another one.VAUGHN: What? You think we can make Khasinau believe that?SYDNEY: Yes.VAUGHN: You're going to have to make it soundpretty legit.SYDNEY: I think I know how to do that.(Flashback: Sydney, Dixon, Sloane, and two unidentified agents sit in the conference room. Sloane gives thetwo unknown agents folders for a mission.)SYDNEY: (voice over) Last year, Sloane sent a team of agents into the Carafu Art Museum in Algiers after an Opecminister donated a collection that Sloane believed might contain Rambaldi artifacts.(Self storage.)VAUGHN: Wait. Why don't I know about this?SYDNEY: Becausethe mission failed. The agents were caught.(Flashback: The two agents are being dragged, handcuffed, to another van for transport. A car drives by and amasked man -- who, IMO looks kind of like Jack -- leans out the passenger side with a machine gun and blasts away.)SYDNEY: (voice over) Before they couldeven be questioned, SD-6 had them killed.(Self-storage.)SYDNEY: Say there was a break-in at that museum this week. It would be widely publicized. Khasinauwould start to hear rumors of what was taken.VAUGHN: Including rumors of an existing second ampule.(Devlin's office.)DEVLIN: Are you suggesting that Iapprove the theft of priceless works of art?VAUGHN: You see, sir, we would just be borrowing them.(Self-storage, continuing.)SYDNEY: We'd return everythingwe steal through back channels, but not until after we've made contact with Khasinau. The whole point is to get noticed.(Devlin's office.)DEVLIN: \"We\"? You'reproposing to go with her?VAUGHN: I-I know I'm not a field agent, but SD-6 isn't in on this and Agent Bristow will need backup. She trusts me. Now, the plan is togo in as insurance agents offering to lower their premium. Naturally, we would have to inspect their security system thoroughly before we commit anycoverage.(SD-6 archives. Sydney sits a laptop, typing.)SYDNEY: (voice over) I downloaded the mission specs from the SD-6 archives. Alarm types at themuseum, action point, blueprints...(Self-storage.)SYDNEY: ...Everything.(Devlin's office.)VAUGHN: Sir, this is our best shot at Khasinau.DEVLIN: Doit.(Self-storage.)SYDNEY: You'll deal with the op tech.VAUGHN: I'll take care of it.SYDNEY: I have to stop by the hospital. Emily. She's not doing well.VAUGHN:Yeah, she's sick from the chemo.(Sydney looks at him.)VAUGHN: We heard that from the bug in Sloane's study. I'm sorry.SYDNEY: Yeah. Thanks.(Francie andSydney's. Will's alone and on the phone.)WILL: Can I get the number for Druzinsky's Pest Control? Sure, yeah. D-R-U--Yeah. Hold--let me just get a pen.(Heopens a drawer, looking for a pen.)WILL: Hold on. Yeah, hold on just a sec.(He pulls out a black marker.)WILL: Okay, got it. Yeah. 323--(Knock.)WILL: Naturallythe guy shows up.

The whole world will be wiped clean soon enough.Jean: Look, I don't think you're a freak at all, Mr. Matter offact, I believe everything you're saying. Diana and Tom arrive in Granite Pass. They both are wearing hazmat suits. Diana takes a look at one of the bodies lyingin the street.Diana: The eyes and fingernails show only slight discolouration.Rigormortis has barely set in. What do the autopsy's show?Agent: Nothing we have aname for. Their internal organs are pretty much liquified. This thing works fast.Diana: So you just took your helmet off.

She can help me find whokilled my partner, I'll drop all charges against you. I won't tell anyone about her. You think about it, but not too long.

But in the mean time we have to figure out whothe demon is.(A woman enters Quake. Piper stands behind Phoebe to cover the marinara stain.)Woman: Piper? Piper Halliwell?

Andy.Andy: I was just thinking ... what ifthe demon was Rodriguez.Prue: Why would you say that?Andy: He pulled me in the station house this morning. I thought he was gonna arrest me. What he reallywanted was a meeting with you.Prue: Meet with me? Why?Andy: Because he thinks his partner was killed by a supernatural being and somehow, I don't knowhow he knows you're a witch.Prue: How would he know that unless ...Andy: Unless he was the demon.Prue: Alright, uh, tell Rodriguez to meet me at the manorat 6:00.Andy: It's too dangerous, Prue.Prue: I don't have a choice.

(Herings the doorbell a couple more times.) That's a little too anxious, that's not a good sign.Phoebe: Which means if he doesn't want to kill Prue, he wants to dateher.(Prue and Piper stare at here.)Prue: Come on, let's get this day over with.Phoebe: Okay. (She walks towards the door.) Alright already. (She opensit.)Rodriguez: Inspector Rodriguez. I'm here to see Prue Halliwell.Phoebe: Yeah, no kidding. Prue! Piper!

You're 6, and you're drinking at a bar.Jamie : 7.Julian : Nice. Nice work,el borracho.AT THE PREMIEREAlex : I'll tell you something I am sure of. We're all afraid.

Travis and smile at each other as they turn toward the door.]Reverend Travis: Can we get the troopsorganized?Robert, Earl of Grantham: That means me.[Robert rises from the pew.]Cora, Countess of Grantham: It seems rather hard on poor old Travis when he'sdoing all the work but the archbishop gets the glory.Mary: Papa was the one who wanted a prince of the church. I'd have settled for Travis.Robert: Mm.Mary: Isthere really no way we can get Sybil over? It seems ridiculous.Robert: On the contrary, it's a relief. Branson is still an object of fascination for the county. We'llask him here when we can prepare the servants and manage it gently.[Robert and Mary walk to the back of the church.]Isobel Crawley: He's making a problemwhere none exists. No one could care less were Branson at the wedding or not.Matthew: You must think country life more exciting than it is if you imagine peopledon't care when an earl's daughter runs off with the chauffeur.Isobel: Well, the fact remains she has run off with the chauffeur and they'll have to get used toit.[The archbishop calls down the aisle.]Archbishop: Mr Travis, are we ready?Reverend Travis: Er, any moment, Your Grace, any moment.[Travis walks back upthe aisle.]Reverend Travis: Can we, please?[Mary and Robert stand ready and take each other's arm before starting down the aisle.][SCENE_BREAK][EXT.DOWNTON GROUNDS - DAY][SCENE_BREAK][Daisy rides toward the house on her bicycle.][SCENE_BREAK][INT.

The family must never be a topic of conversation.Cora: I'mafraid Sybil's already made the Crawleys a permanent topic.Violet: All the more reason. If we can show the county he can behave normally, they will soon loseinterest in him. And I shall make sure he behaves normally, because I shall hold his hand on the radiator until he does.[Cora smiles at the half-seriousremark.]Isobel: Well, I don't know this young man aside from \"Good morning\" and \"Good night,\" but he strikes me as a very interesting addition to thefamily.Violet: Oh, here we go.[Violet shakes her head.]Isobel: And why should he be \"normal,\" as you call it? I say he should come here and fight hiscorner.[Violet looks sharply to Cora for sympathy, but Cora keeps a neutral expression.]Isobel: I like a man of strong beliefs.

Because I'd ratherwork to get you free then dine with the king at Buckingham Palace. So, what news have you got?Bates: And what news could I have in here? Oh, I've acquired anew cellmate. To be honest, I'm not sure about him.Anna: Well, just remember what my mother used to say: never make an enemy by accident. Now, do youthink you can get the notes done before my next visit?Bates: I don't see what can come of it.Anna: Probably nothing. And my next idea will probably lead tonothing, and the next, and the next.

Notwhen he's already got the job.Mr Carson: No, it is not an interview, Miss O'Brien, but he is on trial, and if he cannot match our standards, he will be foundguilty.Alfred: I mean to try, Mr Carson.Mr Carson: As long as you do.

Besides, I thought you were mad at him.Millicent : I was \"ignore him for a couple of hours\" mad,not \"disappear for the second night in a row\" mad.Alex : Well, you can thank me later, but you were way drunk, so I texted him from your phone and let himknow you were safe.Millicent : \"Melvin... got my drink on with Alex.

But I do work in mysterious ways.AT THE CHANGING ROOMRenee : So you want me to go on your show and tell the world my story?Dan: That's right.Renee : And you're gonna be on my side? Why would you do that? Nathan's your son. It could ruin him.Dan : But you're the one telling the truth.ATSCOTT' S HOUSEHaley : You're not telling the truth.Nathan : About what?Haley : Renee. You said you didn't know her and you didn't remember her.Nathan : Idon't. Haley, we've been through this. Why can't you just believe me?Haley : Her number is all over your old cell phone bill. Nathan! Excuse me... why aren't youexplaining yourself?Nathan : Because I shouldn't have to. But if you insist... I'm a professional basketball player. Girls get a hold of my e-mail, my telephonenumber. They try to contact me. And when they do, I reply to them and tell them to stop because I'm happily married to a woman who loves and trusts me. So Iguess I did lie, Haley... but only when I told them that my wife trusts me.AT THE APPARTMENTMillicent : Marvin.Mouth : Don't you mean \"Melvin\"?Millicent :Please don't be mad even though you have every right to be. Alex called me after she left Julian's, and I was kind of already drinking because I thought you didn'tthink I was pretty enough to be a model.Mouth : When did I say you weren't pretty enough? Of course you're pretty enough.Millicent : Then maybe we could skipthe whole fight and you could just be really excited for me, because... it's official... you're looking at the newest face of Clothes Over Bros!

We lost the rainstorm body spray campaign, And it looks like the shoe deal's goingaway.Nathan : What?Clay : Temporarily.Nathan : This is unbelievable.Clay : I know it feels like the sky is falling, but when something like this goes down,marketing executives distance themselves to protect their brands. All right, almost always, they come back as soon as the air clears.Nathan : \"Almostalways\"?Clay : Look, we knew there was a risk when we decided not to deal with Renee, but it has become a bit of an issue with the Bobcats.Nathan : They don'twant me back?Clay : No, you are far too talented for that, but they're using it to their advantage, and negotiations have slowed. Again, like I said, we expectedthis. More importantly, Nate, the whole agency's on this, all right? Everybody respects your decision to fight this, and we've got your back. You just got to havesome faith in us... and in each other.Haley : Clay. He's gonna have a career when this is over, right?Clay : Haley, I'm not gonna let anything happen to him.Haley: Because you didn't see how dark he got the first time.Clay : Look, this is a staring contest. Our best chance at having her blink first is if the press gets tired ofthis and nobody makes this story any bigger than it already is.AT THE TV BROADCASTDan : I'm gonna make this story huge. But you don't trust me. I'd have tohate my son to tell your story, right? You're smart. I like that. That means my grandchild will be smart. Well, I was in Nathan's situation once. I refused torecognize a child that I'd fathered, and it was the second-worst mistake I ever made, but I made it in part because nobody forced me to look at the consequencesof my actions. By coming out in support of you and allowing you to tell your story, I'll be forcing Nathan to take responsibility... if not emotionally, then at leastfinancially.Renee : He'll never forgive you.Dan : Hmm. I've made my peace with that.AT CLOTHES OVER BROSMillicent : There she is. I know... I'm late again,and we still haven't finished...Calliope : The inventory.

You're gonna love them.Brooke : I can't wait. Isn't she amazing?Millicent : Um, I guess, but that'smy job.Brooke : Not anymore, miss thing. The fashion blogs are still buzzing about you. You are officially a model. Your only job now is to worry about beingpretty. You... you might want to worry just a smidge more.Millicent : I know. I was out late. And, Brooke, I am excellent at multitasking, and I'd be happy to keepmy administrative responsibilities.Brooke : Nonsense. I am not gonna have the new face of my company doing dirty work.

You're like, \"she...\"Julian : This is good.Alex : Like \"I hate it, But there's a story in there somewhere\" good?Julian : No. These scenes are genuinely good...sweet, subtle, funny. Where did this come from?Alex : Well, I woke up, and I was watching Millicent sleep. And she was, like, totally busted. So I asked myselfwhat it would be like if I was that tragic, with, like, no self-confidence. And then I just added a boy.Julian : Who are you?Alex : Stick around. Maybe you'll findout.Julian : Unfortunately, I can't stick around, because you are three hours late, and I have to meet Brooke for lunch.Alex : Oh! Come on. Tell her we're on aroll.Julian : Um, no. She's already a little jealous of our working relationship, but maybe we can meet back up tonight.Alex : It's a date.Julian : No.Alex :Date-ish?Julian : Work.Alex : Work... date.AT SCOTT'S HOUSEHaley : We can still pay her.Nathan : For what? The story's already out there.Haley : For aretraction. The money she wants is a drop in the bucket compared to the rest of your career.Nathan : It's too late for that.Haley : Nathan, you're being stubborn,and I know I was against it at first, but if she were to get out there and say that this whole thing has been a lie...Nathan : We're not paying her, Haley! We're notgiving this woman a dime of our money.ON THE BEACHQuinn : You're really worried about this.Clay : There's just so much riding on it. Quinn, I'm not in Tree Hillfor a vacation. A while back, I went off the rails a bit... emotionally, and... luckily I had earned enough capital with the agency that they didn't fire me. They justscaled back my client roster and suggested I spend the summer here... pull myself together.Quinn : And then Nathan's scandal happened. So the calm, coolexterior...Clay : ... is kind of a lie.Quinn : Just when I was beginning to wonder if we had anything in common.Clay : Quinn, I shouldn't be here. Nathan doesn'twant us hanging out, and I, uh, I have to respect that.Quinn : No, look, Clay...Clay : I'm sorry. Uh, thank you for this. I mean that.

I was just thinking...Oscar: No, totally, totally. This way we get it all out of the way at once and it could actually be fun.Jim: Right!Exactly.

That was easy.Jim: Yeah, people like me I guess.Creed: [knocking from outside windowin break room] Jim.[SCENE_BREAK]Creed: I hate devils food.Jim: Well I think Meredith was just --Creed: Screw Meredith, I don't think it's fair to let someoneelse pick the cake on my birthday.Jim: Everybody's birthday.Creed: Today is actually my birthday and I want to pick the cake.Jim: What do you want?Creed: Iwant pie. I want peach pie.Jim: You want a birthday pie?Creed: I want a nice cobbler.Jim: Well, I'm gonna to talk to Angela and we're gonna see what we can doabout a pie.Creed: I don't care who you talk to.

I'm in the interior of the vast Pennsylvania wilderness. I've brought with me only the bareessentials. A knife, roll of duct tape, in case I need to craft some shelter or make some sort of water vessel. It's hot today. The sun is in the two-thirds easterlyquadrant, which would make it about [looks at watch] 2 o'clock in the afternoon. It's really beating down on me now. I think that I want to get a little morecomfortable because the sun is depleting my resources. [cuts pants with knife] OK. OH, there we go.

I was very proud to be acting in it.Frasier: Youknow, Niles, you were wonderful in it as well.Niles: Well, thank you, I thought so.Frasier: Mm-hmm.Niles: I often thought if I'd kept at it, I could have been aprofessional actor.Frasier: Ah, you see, we all have a road not taken, some unfinished business worth exploring.Martin: Yeah, I always wanted to be a toe dancer,but a bullet ended my dream.Frasier and Niles shake off the sarcasm.Niles: Well, Frasier, if you need any help with this, I'm right here.Frasier: Thank you, Niles.You know, I'd rather handle the composing chores myself, but I could use a sounding board.Niles: Fair enough, let's put our heads together.Frasier: Allright.Niles: Figuratively speaking, of course. I saw what came out of your pillow.They head back toward the piano.[SCENE_BREAK]A BRIDGE TOO FARScene 3 -Later that night Niles plunks out some notes on the piano. Frasier is standing.Niles: You know, I think this new bridge is the best thing you've written.Frasier:Really?Niles: Oh, absolutely.He sings to a jaunty tune, beginning with the notes he had plunked and accompanying himself:Niles: Claustrophobia NymphomaniaHe will probe ya He'll explain t'ya It's brilliant.Frasier: You know, it does have a Cole Porter-y, Stephen Sondheim-y flavor, doesn't it?Niles: Oh, absolutely.Sondheim-y would have killed to have written this.Frasier: You know what? I'm a little nervous. It just may be a bit too conventional. Perhaps instead of a regularbridge, I could substitute it with a dramatic monologue spoken against a musical background.Niles: [after a beat] I like it.Frasier: Of course, I would have to hirean actor.Niles: Yes, I suppose you could squander a lot of money on some so- Called professional... someone who doesn't know a thing about psychiatry.[reaching] Who doesn't understand the whole Gestalt.Frasier: Or maybe you could do it.Niles: I think so.Frasier laughs and taps him on the shoulder.Frasier: Iwill write you a speech that will challenge your entire histrionic range! This is so exciting! Let's play the chorus again.Martin enters from his bedroom.Martin: Hey,hey, Fras! I just got an idea for your little jingle. It came to me while I was brushing my teeth. [He sings:] What's new? I'm listenin' Feelin' blue? I'm listenin'...Cause, you know, that's what you say on your show. Feelin' sad, feelin' mad, feelin' glad, feelin' bad I'm listenin'!Daphne: [who has been seated at the diningtable] Bravo! That's wonderful.Martin: Thanks, you know, it's catchy. That's what counts in a jingle.[N.B. Of interest: John Mahoney appeared on the Cheersepisode \"Do Not Forsake Me, O My Postman\" as Sy Flembeck, a hapless jingle composer.]Frasier: [politely] Uh-huh, well, that's very, very nice, Dad, it's just that,well, you know, I did promise my listeners that I'd compose this myself. It's no fair cheating.Martin: Oh, well, it's not cheating, technically...Frasier: [cutting himoff] Very good, Dad, very good, but thank you, and off you go.Martin: Okay, all right.He exits.Niles: Hey, um, Frasier, are you sure you want to modulate here?That may just complicate things.Frasier: Perhaps. You know, I'm just trying to make it interesting. To my ear, there's still something lacking, some tiny ingredientthat's missing. I'm not sure what.Scene 4 - DISSOLVE to a rehearsal hall, where a full orchestra is tuning their instruments. Frasier stands on the conductor'spodium.Frasier: [tapping his baton] All right, everyone. Let's try this again. We still have a few minutes before the choir gets here.He raises his baton andprepares to cue the opening.[SCENE_BREAK]END OF ACT IACT IIScene 5 - The rehearsal hall The choir has arrived.Frasier: Well, finally, the choir has deigned tojoin us.Director: Sorry, our bus broke down. We had to walk two miles to get here.Frasier: Ah, then I suppose we can dispense with the breathing exercises I wasgoing to recommend. Please, if you would. [indicating the choir's risers behind the orchestra] Off you go.Niles, who has been sitting in front of the orchestra,rises.Niles: Uh, Frasier... did you mean to cut paragraph five of my monologue?Frasier: Gosh, I might have, Niles. I've just been so busy. What was thegist?Niles: A lighthearted lampoon of mental health care abuse.Frasier: Ah, yes, I did. I was afraid that some fussbudget might take offense at my jape aboutlobotomies.Niles: Well, I suppose it's best to play it safe, although I did Like the way you indicated manic depression with a slide whistle.Frasier laughs. Nileslooks back at the orchestra.Niles: Do we really have to use so many musicians?Frasier: For the sound I want, yes.Niles: Whatever happened to the concept of\"less is more\"?Frasier: Ah, but if less is more, just think of how much more \"more\" will be.Niles stares at him quizically.Frasier: You may be seated. Niles takeshis seat.Frasier: Ladies and gentlemen, if I may have your attention, please, I'd like to take a few minutes to explain my artistic vision.Timpanist: Take as long asyou want, we're all on the clock.Frasier: Point well taken, moving right along...Roz enters quickly with her boyfriend Leon.Roz: Frasier...I'm sorry we're late. Wegot stuck in traffic. Some stupid bus broke down. This is Leon.Leon looks like a starving folk-type musician, with long hair and a scruffy beard.Frasier: Ah, hello,Leon.Leon: Hey, Dr. Crane.Frasier: [shaking his hand] Lovely to meet you. Listen, why don't you help yourself to the refreshment table there. I need to have afew words with Roz.Leon moves away.Frasier: Roz, we've got a problem! In scoring this, I had to eliminate the guitar part.Roz: Well, put it back.Frasier: Well, Ican't. I'm afraid another instrument might make Things sound cluttered... unless, of course, Leon can play the bagpipe.Roz: The bagpipe?Frasier: Yes! Our showdeals with a whole range of human emotion from euphoria to despair, and nothing says despair so quickly as the skirl of a bagpipe.Roz: Nothing says \"Turn off"}

The man next to her (Albert) glances nervously at the window, then reachesacross her to close the shade.]Albert: Sorry. I'm a nervous flyer.Lilith: Yes, I see. Oh, you're white as a sheet.Albert: No, actually, I'm always this pale. Myex-wife used to say she could tell when I was embarrassed because I'd turn off-white.Lilith: I can empathize. Sometimes after a late night, I covered myunder-eye circles with Liquid Paper. So are you traveling to Seattle for business or pleasure?Albert: Both, hopefully. I'm relocating for work. How about you?Lilith:I need to ask an old friend for a favor.Albert: It's a long trip just to ask for a favor.Lilith: It's a big favor.Albert: Well I hope your friend complies.Lilith: It'll takesome work, but I'll get what I want.[A flight attendant comes up.]Attendant: Oh, dear, you two look awfully pale. Can I bring you something?Lilith: Not unlessyou have any extra melanin lying around.[She leaves as Albert laughs.]Albert: You should be a comedian.Lilith: I've thought about it.[She goes back to herreading. Fade out.]Scene 2 - Frasier's Apartment[Fade in. Martin is walking from the kitchen to his chair. When he hears keys in the door, he sets his beer downand hurries towards the bedroom. The door opens and Frasier comes in.]Frasier: Dad? Dad, Dad! What? Are you hiding?Martin: I heard the key in the door, Ithought Lilith might be with you. What's she coming for anyway?Frasier: Well, I don't really know. She said she was flying across the country to ask me aboutsomething that was important. She's being very mysterious about it.[He hangs up his coat as the doorbell rings.]Martin: Is that her?Frasier: Well, no. No, Dad,I'm not seeing her until tomorrow.Martin: Well, let me know when she's coming, will you, so I can come up with an excuse to clear out. Because I'm not good atwinging it.[Frasier opens the door. It is Lilith.]Frasier: Oh, Lilith. Hi. Look who's here, Dad.Lilith: Hello, Martin.[Martin smiles nervously, then glances at hiswatch.]Martin: Oh, time to go... practice my signature.[He heads for the bedrooms.]Frasier: Please, come on in, Lilith. So, I didn't think I was going to be seeingyou 'til tomorrow.Lilith: Yes, I know that was the plan, but I just had to stop by on my way to the hotel. What I'm here to talk to you about is not something onejust drops on another person. [gesturing for him to sit] Please.[He sits down.]Lilith: [sitting beside him] Frasier, recently a subconscious yearning has tunneled itsway to the surface and I now know what it is I need in order to make my life complete.Frasier: Well, that's wonderful news. How can I help?Lilith: You can giveme your sperm.Frasier: I beg your pardon?Lilith: I want to have another baby.Frasier: Well, you certainly don't need me for that. Surely... someone in Bostonmust have sperm.Lilith: I came to you first so that Frederick could have a full sibling.Frasier: So, just like that we're going to have another baby together.Lilith:No, not just like that. I mapped out our dominant and recessive traits on a genome square, applied Mendel's laws, allowed for anomalies and concluded that youare the best biological choice.Frasier: I see. Well, as enticed as I am by your honeyed words, I'm gonna need some kissin'.Lilith: Frasier, don't misunderstand, I'mnot proposing any change in our relationship.Frasier: Would we... sleep together?Lilith: I thought we'd freeze your sperm.Frasier: Is that a \"yes\" or a \"no\"?Lilith:Natural fertilization is impractical. I'd have to fly to Seattle every time I ovulate.Frasier: [getting up] Right, okay. So, then your plan is for me to visit some localdoctor, freeze my essence and then bring it home with you.Lilith: Correct. I'll take mine to go.[Frasier sits on the arm of Martin's chair.]Frasier: I don't know. I'mgoing to have to think about it.Lilith: [rising] Yes, of course, absolutely. Think about it, and you can give me your answer tomorrow.[She heads for the door,Frasier follows.]Frasier: Okay.Lilith: You can come back from around the corner now, Martin.Martin: [from around the corner] Good night, Lilith.Lilith: Goodnight.[She leaves.]Frasier: You were eavesdropping?[Martin comes into the living room.]Martin: It was an accident and I only heard the part about her wanting tohave another baby with you.Frasier: She completely threw me.[Martin settles into his chair.]Martin: Well, I don't know why you're so surprised. She's seen whatthe Crane genes can do and she's coming back to the well.Frasier: How does one respond to something like that?Martin: Well, I bet if you say \"No\" she'll go toNiles.Frasier: Really, it's just so self-centered. I mean, she's got this all figured out for herself without the slightest consideration for my life.Martin: And Niles'llsay \"No\" for sure. Which means only one thing. [He gets a worried look.] She'll come to the source. Me. The fountainhead.Frasier: What?Martin: Can youimagine? Lilith's and my kid would be brother to you and Niles AND Freddie.Frasier: What are you talking about?Martin: And if you and Lilith got back together,you'd be his step-father and his brother and Niles would be your son and his own uncle. It's almost worth doing just so that I can tell the story.[Frasier just wavesthis off as he heads to his room. Fade out.]Scene 3 - Cafe Nervosa[Fade in. Frasier is sitting at a table. Niles walks in.]Frasier: Oh, hi, Niles. Did Daphne and hermom get off okay?Niles: [sitting down] Yes. They picked up Roz and Alice an hour ago. Although, how they're going to get all the way to Canada without killingeach other, I don't know.Frasier: Why did they have to go so far?Niles: Well, that was my idea. I read that Canadian Fun Country is one of the best amusementparks in southeastern British Columbia.Frasier: Well, I'm just saying Daphne's mom should be careful, you know. If you're here on a temporary visa, you knowsometimes people have a hard time getting back into the country.Niles: [deadpan] That hadn't occurred to me, Frasier.[N.B. Niles no doubt recalls the family tripin [1.21.], \"Travels With Martin,\" in which the Cranes strayed over the border before Daphne's green card had come through, and they had to smuggle her backposing as an American.]Frasier: Well, seeing as how you're single, I'd invite you to join me for dinner, but I'm meeting with Lilith tonight on a matter of somedelicacy.Niles: Dad told me. Now listen, don't feel obligated because she's buying you dinner.Frasier: Truth be told, Niles, I hadn't ruled it out entirely. It would benice to have another child. And Lilith is a wonderful mother. It's just that, well, is it right to create a human being with a woman to whom you couldn't stand beingmarried?Niles: Well, I'm behind you whatever decision you make, the right one or the crazy one.Frasier: Thank you.[Niles calls out to the passing Barista.]Niles:Excuse me, may I have an espresso?[The waiter nods and heads off. Frasier notices an envelope Niles brought in.]Frasier: What have you got here?Niles: Oh,some snapshots from last summer at the beach. Daphne finally got them developed.[He shows them to Frasier who starts chuckling.]Frasier: Oh, there's Dadeating that hot dog he dropped in the sand. And you, in your linen beach ensemble.Niles: Very nice, yes. Well that's strange. Daphne said I'd particularly like thelast picture on the roll but what is it?Frasier: It's hard to tell, it's too dark and blurry.Niles: Looks like the eye of Jupiter.Frasier: Or a slice of pepperoniNiles: Is ita flying saucer?Frasier: Yes, Niles, it's a flying saucer. Mystery solved, well done.[The Barista brings Niles's coffee over and sees the photo.]Barista: Hey, where'dyou get the nipple shot?Frasier: Good lord![Frasier and Niles look again in shock, then Niles clutches the photo to his chest.]Niles: You are to erase that from yourmind.Frasier: Is it Daphne?Barista: Nice.Niles: You're not erasing! Erase![The Barista heads off as Niles points a warning finger at Frasier. Fade out.]Scene 4 -Daphne's Car[Fade in. Daphne is driving, with Roz next to her and Alice and Gertrude in the back.]Roz: I need to stop again.Daphne: We just stopped. I told younot to get that Big Gulp.Roz: But it was only ten cents more.Alice: Punch buggy blue![She hits Gertrude on the arm.]Gertrude: Ow! Dammit!Daphne:Language!Gertrude: Why does she keep doing that?Roz: It's a game.Gertrude: It hurts.Daphne: All right, mum.Roz: There's a gas station right there, I reallyneed to stop.Daphne: I can't get over, you'll have to wait.Roz: But according to this, my bladder is holding \"Thirsty-Two\" ounces of soda.Daphne: It's only fortymiles.Alice: Punch buggy red.[She hits Gertrude on the arm.]Gertrude: Oh! Son of a...!Daphne: Language!Roz: Alice, honey. Stop hitting Mrs. Moon. She can'ttake the punch buggy game.Gertrude: Oh, really? Punch buggy white![She knuckles Roz on the shoulder.]Roz: Ow! It was a Jeep!Gertrude: I play the Jeeps. AndFord. Punch buggy Ford.[She whacks Roz on the head.]Roz: Ow![Roz turns around to get her back.]Daphne: All right, that's enough. You stop it or no one's goingto Canadian Fun Country. And this time I mean it![They go for a minute in silence, then Gertrude screams and points, startling screams from everyoneelse.]Gertrude: I'm sorry. I thought you were on the wrong side of the road. I will never get used to the crazy way you drive over here.Daphne: Mum, you haveto stop doing that.Roz: Daphne, you seem stressed. Do you want me to drive for a while?Daphne: Maybe once we get out of Seattle.[SCENE_BREAK]Scene 5 - ARestaurant[Fade in. Frasier and Lilith are sitting at a table looking over menus.]Lilith: Frasier, I don't want to rush you, but the suspense is too much to bear.Have you decided?Frasier: I'm thinking about the linguini.Lilith: I see. It's \"No,\" then, isn't it?Frasier: I'm sorry, Lilith. This was a very difficult decision for me andI am touched and flattered that you came to me, but I'm not sure I'd be doing it for the right reason. You understand, don't you?Lilith: Yes, I do. And I appreciateyour taking the time to think about it. It's that kind of consideration I was hoping to pass on to our second born. Oh, well. So, the pasta is good here?Frasier: Oh,the best.[She glances at the menu some more, then begins to quietly sing to the tune of the \"Ode to Joy\" chorus of Beethoven's 9th.]Lilith: My dad is thegweatest dad because he cooks me Cweam of Wheat...Frasier: [glaring at her] Lilith, what are you singing?Lilith: Was I singing?Frasier: You were singing \"MyDad Is the Gweatest Dad.\"Lilith: Oh, you mean that song Frederick wrote for you when he was four.Frasier: That video is one of my prized possessions. Of courseI haven't looked at it in some time.Lilith: I remember the night we surprised you with it. He crawled up in your lap and said \"Why is Daddy cwying?\"Frasier: I seewhat you're doing, you know.Lilith: What?Frasier: You are attempting to manipulate me by invoking powerful emotional memories.Lilith: I assure you, nothingcould be further from the truth.[A waiter comes up.]Waiter: Are you ready to order?Lilith: Yes. I'll have the basgetti and beatmalls.Waiter: Mmm. Very goodMiss.Lilith: That's what our son used to say when he was three.Waiter: Excellent.Frasier: And I'll have the veal.Waiter: Bravo, sir.[He takes the menus and headsaway.]Frasier: Lilith, I'm afraid you're idealizing parenthood. Do you remember colic, teething, changing mountains of diapers?Lilith: Do you remember that timein the bath when he tried to eat the bubbles?

A beautiful girl from one county; a handsome boy from another. They meet and they fall in love. Separated by distance and by parents who did not approveof the union, the young couple dreamed of a day that they could be together. They wrote each other beautiful letters. Letters of longing and passion. Letters fullof promises and plans for the future. Soon the separation proved too much for either one of them to bear. So, one night, cold and black with no light to guidethem, they both snuck out of their homes and ran away as fast as they could. It was so dark out that they were both soon lost and it seemed as if they wouldnever find each other. Finally, the girl dropped to her knees, tears streaming down her lovely face. 'Oh, my love. Where are you? How will I find you?' Suddenly, aband of stars appeared in the sky. These stars shone so brightly they lit up the entire countryside. The girl jumped to her feet and followed the path of the starsuntil finally she found herself standing right where the town gazebo is today. And there waiting for her was her one true love, who had also been led here by theblanket of friendly stars. [Camera stops on Miss Patty's dance studio, where she is telling the story to a group of children.] And that, my friends, is the story ofhow Stars Hollow came to be, and why we celebrate that fateful night every year at about this time.

I think maybe Tolstoy's just a little over my head.RORY: No, that's not true. Tolstoy wrote forthe masses, the common man. It's completely untrue that you have to be some kind of genius to read his stuff.DEAN: Yeah butRORY: Now I know it's big. ..DEAN: Very big.RORY: And long. . .DEAN: Very, very longRORY: And many of the Russian names tend be spelled very similar, making it confusingDEAN: Everysingle person's name ends with 'ski'.

Is a harvest more important than a hard day's work? No. Each has value. Just as each of us has value. Hear, hear.Group: Hear, hear.(Thegiants stand up to toast, but are interrupted by a loud bang. They look over at Anton. A human-sized harp has slipped from his sleeve onto the table.)Arlo: You'vebeen spending time in the treasure room again, haven't you?Anton: No. Maybe. So say that I was. So what?Arlo: Your fascination with the humans and theirartifacts is misguided. No good can come of it.Anton: How can you say that, when you've never even been to their world? And you won't even let any of us godown there.Arlo: Have you forgotten what the humans did? Why we no longer trade beans with them? They weren't content merely traveling between the realms.They had to conquer and pillage.Anton: Because a few humans did some bad stuff, doesn't make them all evil.Arlo: They don't abide by the same laws that wedo, Anton. We giants foster life. They destroy it. That is why they must never know that we still exist, or that we still grow the beans.Anton: But why do we keepgrowing them... If nobody ever uses them?(There is an awkward silence at the table.)Arlo: It's what we do.Anton: We don't do anything with them!Arlo: It is thelabour that makes us who we are. Not the fruit that it yields.Abraham: What is this? A human toy?(Abraham picks up the harp and inspects it.)Anton: Put itdown.(He crushes the harp in his hand and drops it to the floor.)Abraham: Not much fun, is it?Arlo: Abraham, that is enough.(Anton gets up from the table andruns out of the room.

Take it easy.(The nurse sits her down in a chair and injects a sedative into her Belle'sarm.)Ruby: Has she been like this the whole time?Nurse: More or less. We've had to keep her heavily sedated. Okay, let's get you back to bed.Belle: No...Nurse:Here we go. There.(The nurse escorts Belle out of the room. Meanwhile, Greg has entered and has seen the outburst.)Greg: Everything okay in here?Ruby:Everything's fine, Mr. Mendell. She's alright. How are you?Greg: Much improved.Ruby: Well, then, rest up.

And I just know that if Ryan goes to Berkeley and I go to... Harvard orPrinceton or Oxford, then it's over.Summer: Don't you have to apply to Berkeley first in order to... You already applied to Berkeley? Does Ryan know this?Taylor:No.I applied before we even started dating. I just got back from France and I figured, well, I had to go somewhere, so I reapplied to Princeton, Oxford,Yale,Harvard and the Sorbonne, and I figured why not throw Berkeley in?Summer: Um, hi. Can we get two coffees, please?Man: Uh, yeah.Summer: Okay. So youwant to get Ryan to tell you that he wants you to go to Berkeley, without knowing that you already got in to Berkeley?Taylor: Exactly.Summer: And how're yougoing to do that?Taylor: Easy.I just need to get him to tell me that he loves me.Summer: Mm-hmm, Ryan talking about his feelings. Now that would be anearth-shattering event.Man: Careful, they're hot.Summer: Thank you.Taylor: Thanks.Summer: Did you see this about earthquake weather?

He put a radio transmitter in a piece of trash,threw it into the ocean, followed it around for six years just to show how pollution travels. And you're giving it a three?Seth: I'm gonna give it a three-and-a-half,then.Summer: What about the part where he followed it through the oil fires in the Persian Gulf, and he got third-degree burns on his arms?Seth: I know, but thecamera work was terrible, and what kind of film stock was he using? The oranges and reds totally bled together.Summer: He was just making a point to show thehealth of our planet.Seth: Yeah, but he's also making a movie,and as a movie, it sucks.Summer: Well, what about that one? Where the turtle adopted the hippowho was lost in the tsunami?Seth: Mm-hmm. That's pretty much the nature film equivalent of a chick flick.Summer: Okay. What about that? Where the familygiraffes habitat was destroyed.Seth: Yeah, shot like a perfume ad.Summer: God, what is your problem,Seth? I just want you to get excited aboutsomething.Seth: I am, about things that are good.

(He turns to go back into theapartment)BRENNAN: Well, generally, you wear more clothing, and you've been avoiding this for weeks (she shuts the front door).BOOTH: Well, I couldn't sleep.Hannah got up at the crack of dawn (he continues walking, cracking more joints as he goes). Ooh.BRENNAN: Do you always have this pronounced a release ofgas in the morning?BOOTH: (turns to face Brennan) Is it that bad?BRENNAN: Synovial gas, that's what the cracking is.BOOTH: Synovial gas, what's thatmean?BRENNAN: well, there comes a point when your body can't hide all the abuse it's taken.BOOTH: What do you, what do you mean a certain point?BRENNAN:Booth, you've been shot, and beaten, and jumped out of airplanes. The skeletal damage alone...BOOTH (groans and turns): Oh God, I'm falling apart.BRENNAN:You're fine. It's your skeleton that's falling apart.(Cut to: FBI building, Booth and Brennan are rounding a corner).BRENNAN: The compression fracture to your T3alone should have incapacitated you years ago, then there's the fracture to your sternum from when that obese girl shot you, fractures from your metatarsalsfrom when you were tortured, rib pitting from when you foolishly tried to act as a human shield...BOOTH: Rib pitting?BRENNAN: And that's before we even get toyour compromised ligaments, both intertransverse and anterior longitudinal.BOOTH: How do you have room in your brain to remember all this?BRENNAN: I careabout you, Booth, and the more abuse a body takes, the sooner it degenerates.BOOTH: That's it? That's all you've got for me? (they enter theelevator)BRENNAN: Well, it can be a good thing. In tribes, men like you are elders.

It is a very important day.BOOTH: (hands form to Sweets) Can you sign this?SWEETS: Are youserious?BOOTH: Sign. (He hands Sweets a pen and the form) Just sign and get back to your fun.

That was purely accidental intercourse.BRENNAN: You had intercourse accidentally? What wereyou trying to do, Ms. Wick?DAISY: I was returning a book.BRENNAN: And your pants fell off?(Workers are bringing in large artifacts on rolling tables, Cam andAngela are supervising)CAM: All of the pieces of ship without remains attached, straight to the early American workroom. Door on your right.WORKER: Where doyou want this?CAM: Take it up on the platform.WORKER: Got it.(Brennan and Daisy approach and come to a stop beside Cam)CAM: Okay. (turns to Brennan)How much of this is there?BRENNAN: I have no idea.CAM: So, when you said old remains, the ship part of it just slipped your mind?BRENNAN: No, of coursenot.ANGELA: This is incredible. I can't believe this is an actual slave ship. Where did they find it?BRENNAN: Off the coast of Maryland. This could shed enormouslight on the slave trade.CAM: Or give me nightmares. One or the other.(Hodgins enters with more parts of the ship)HODGINS: Mytilus edulis, blue mussels. Wow.Hey, they said this was for you (he hands Angela a sheaf of papers).BRENNAN: The Jeffersonian Board of Directors wants us to try and identify the remains.CAM:How? These people have been dead for nearly 150 years.ANGELA: Yeah, well this might help. It's a copy of the outgoing manifest, and it lists all the slaves theywere transporting to New Orleans. There's age, and race, and degree of color. This is really detailed, in a totally horrible, disgusting, sucky kind of way.HODGINS:Slaves were considered property. They were as carefully catalogued as livestock or silverware.(Brennan grimaces and shakes her head slightly, Cam looks uneasyand tilts her head down, avoiding eye contact. Angela looks disturbed, glances at Cam and Brennan, then makes eye contact with Hodgins, who turns his gaze tothe remains).(Cut to: Platform, Brennan is leaning over a set of remains, Angela is standing next to her, taking notes)BRENNAN: Male child, under ten years old.One hundred and thirty centimeters. The marine mussels compromised the bone, but the skull shows a mix of Negroid and Caucasoid characteristics, suggestingthat he would be listed as mulatto.ANGELA: Got it, Pollodore Nelson.DAISY: Symphyseal rim well defined, partial ectocranial suture closure, female, forties, fivefeet tall.ANGELA: Ok, there's only one woman that small.(Cam is looking down at something)CAM: Over here, now. Uh, not kidding, even a little bit. Dr. Hodgins.(Daisy, Brennan and Anglea make their way over to Cam's table)HODGINS (rushes over to where Cam is): Yeah. Yeah.CAM: That. What the hell is it? HODGINS(bending down for a closer look): Wow, it's some kind of organism anchored to the bone. Interesting.CAM: Alien sea-life hitchhikes in on a slave ship and that'sall you can say? Interesting?BRENNAN: Well, I think in this context, interesting is a way of acknowledging life forms beyond Dr. Hodgins' expertise.HODGINS:Temporary condition, I assure you. All right, listen up! Pull any other bones with pink slime and bring them over here. It's possible that alien is an appropriateadjective. We may be looking at NTI here. (Another squint brings over more remains and hands them to Daisy, who places them on the table)CAM: What's hetalking about?BRENNAN: I have no idea.HODGINS: NTI? As in, non-terrestrial intelligence?ANGELA: Oh no.HODGINS: If alien life forms were going to existsomewhere on Earth, the ocean floor would be it.CAM: Please tell me you're kidding.BRENNAN: Judging by weight and texture, all the affected bones appear tobelong to the same skeleton. (Brennan picks up the skull and observes it as the others look on). Something is very wrong.(Cut to: FBI building meetingroom)BOOTH: C'mon Bones, I really gotta look at these images?BRENNAN: Yes. (She pulls up images of the x-rays) Penetrating trauma to the cribriform plateand palatine bones.BOOTH: Ok, you mean that jaggedy looking hole there?BRENNAN: Yes. The puncture would have extended upwards, into the anterior base ofthe brain, resulting in immediate death. This man was hooked through the mouth like a fish. (She demonstrates on Booth, by hooking her finger up against theroof of his mouth. He does not appreciate this and grabs her hand, removing it and making a face of displeasure).BOOTH: Ok, got it, thank you. Very much. I justdon't know how I can help you with a murdered slave though.BRENNAN: They may have found him in a slave ship, but given the condition of his cartilage, thisman died less than a month ago. And, this is murder.(Opening credits)(Cut to: Platform at the Medico-Legal Lab. Daisy is working on a skeleton, Brennan joinsher)BRENNAN: Abrasions to the pisiform. It's likely this person was wearing manacles. Why are you working on remains from the slave ship when you know ourrecent murder victim has priority?DAISY: Because Dr. Hodgins is still trying to remove the unidentified deep sea life forms. Maybe we should discuss the murdervictim's x-rays instead? (They go over to a computer, where Daisy pulls up the images)BRENNAN: Incomplete epiphyseal fusion - he was at most twenty yearsold.DAISY: Chipping on the zygomatic arch. Hairline fractures to the mental foramen. All heavily remodeled. Metaphyseal fractures to the left tibia and right ulna.Never properly set.BRENNAN: I've seen these before. They happen when someone has their extremities wrenched over and over again at a very youngage.DAISY: Suggestive of child abuse?BRENNAN (nods slightly): We have to identify him. What is taking Dr. Hodgins so long?(Cut to Hodgins' lab area. He ispeering through a magnifying lens, Angela is standing next to him.)HODGINS: We are looking at what could be a clue to the origin of life itself.ANGELA: Theorigin of life looks like a pink Chia pet?HODGINS: According to one theory, billions of years ago, organic molecules hitchhiked to Earth on comets that plummetedinto our oceans, forming the seeds of life as we know it.ANGELA: Ok, now you've lost me.HODGINS: Look at this. Organism operates like hair follicles. Anchors itsroot system to the bone.ANGELA: You know, it's actually kind of attractive up close.HODGINS: Yeah, for a mucus-excreting underwater insect.ANGELA: (laughs)Well, let me scan the skull and then I can build a facial reconstruction from it.HODGINS (placing the skull on the dais for Angela to scan): Do you realize theseguys could be harder to identify than a decomposed murder victim?ANGELA: How can you compare a murder victim to ocean snot that looks like somethingBarbie wore to the prom?HODGINS: You compared it to a Chia pet.ANGELA: Yeah well, it's not the same thing.HODGINS: You're right. Because if these guys arenew, and I get to identify them, then I get to name an entire species. Angelonicus montenegris.ANGELA: Really?HODGINS: Really. (Hodgins rises, Angelachuckles, and they embrace).(Cut to: Booth's office. Sweets and Booth are having a conversation. Sweets is pacing Booth's office, Booth is sitting at hisdesk).SWEETS: So the dead guy got caught in a fishing net and the fishing net got caught in the slave ship?BOOTH: Yeah, the net gets lost, floats around foryears - they call it a ghost net.SWEETS: Wow. Ghost net caught a ghost. That's...BOOTH: Something like that.SWEETS: That's ironic.BOOTH: 'Kay, why are youstill here?SWEETS: I'm weak. I'm weak, Agent Booth. I broke up with Daisy, but I can't keep my hands off her.BOOTH: What's new? Alright, you're a guy. Lifegoes on.SWEETS: Yeah, that's the problem. We broke up. But it just goes on. It's, it's like she's a magnet. Should I just let it happen?(Booth reaches forsomething and plonks it down in front of Sweets - it is a magic 8-ball)BOOTH: Here.

All right, they ranked all the dogs and the smartest was a border collie; he did it in seven seconds. [starts timing]All right, come on boy, take it off. [Eddie doesn't move] Six... seven. OK, the next fastest one was a poodle, I know he's as smart as a poodle. [counts off on hiswatch] OK, so he's no poodle... he's not a beagle either... or a German shepherd... or a Labrador. Oh, for God's sake, Eddie!Daphne: Yes, well, if you ask me,he's refusing to do that trick because he knows if he does it right, you'll have him doing it every time we have company.Martin: Hey, I'll bet you're right!

[goes to the kitchen]Martin: Sorry,Niles.Niles: Oh, it gets worse. This morning I spoke to Marta, my ex-maid and current mole. She reports that Broadwater is just the latest in a parade of escorts.The gigolos are swarming around Maris like ants on a Snickers bar!Martin: Well, wait a minute, that's good news. If she's seeing a whole bunch of people, thatmeans she's not serious about any one of them.Niles: You think?Martin: Yeah, sure! They're probably just her escorts. You know how she loves going toparties.Niles: Yes, and she never liked going anywhere alone. Except to bed.Martin: More good news. And Niles, it wouldn't hurt you to go out a little bit everyonce in a while too.Niles: If you're suggesting that I start dating, you can save your breath.

We'llbe attending our club's annual winter dance, the \"Snow Ball!\"Martin: Good for you!Daphne: What's she like?Niles: Well, she's terribly haughty and rumourspersist about her husband's death. But still, a date's a date!Daphne: Snow Ball? Sounds very glamourous.Martin: I didn't know you could dance!Niles: Oh, Ican't.Martin and Daphne look at him, alarmed.Niles: Oh, dear. You don't think she'll want me to? I've taken Maris to dozens of these things, she's never onceasked to dance... of course, Maris dislikes public displays of rhythm. Oh, this is terrible! My first date's a miserable failure before it even begins. [reaches for hisphone] I'll just have to cancel.Daphne: All you need are a few dancing lessons. Why, I'd be happy to give you some.Niles: You would?Daphne: Yeah! Growing up,I used to practise all the time with my brother Billy - the ballroom dancer?Niles: I couldn't prevail upon you like that, it would be too much trouble. [beat] We'llhave to move this!He slides the coffee table against the couch.Niles: OK, now push the chair back [shoves ineffectively at it] Or not.Daphne drags it easily out ofthe way. As they take their positions, Martin settles at the dinner table to watch them.Daphne: Alright, we'll start with the box step.Niles: Box step...Daphne: It'svery simple. Take my hand like so, and your other hand goes around my waist. [Niles does] Now, start with your left foot.Niles: OK, which one?Daphne: Oh,hush! Step towards me, then bring your right foot forward-and-over, and slide the left over to meet it. Then the right foot goes back, the left back-and-over, andthe right slides next to it. And that's it!

It's just a matter ofcoordination. Hell, if you can ride a bike, or skip rope, or kick a ball, you can certainly...He pauses, looks at Niles, gets up and leaves.

You've really relaxed now though, haven't you?Cut toNiles's face: he's in a dream world of his own. Martin comes in.Martin: Hey, you two are looking pretty sharp. The music ends, and Niles finishes by giving Daphnea graceful twirl.Daphne: Well, I think we're ready to move on to the samba. [to Eddie] Eddie, fetch me a samba tape. Xavier Cougat.

Do I owe you money again?Dawson: No, my dad and I werewalking downtown today and we ran into somebody.Pacey: Who? *Andie walks up to her locker*Pacey: Hey look who the cat dragged in.Andie: Nice to see youtoo Pacey.

I've got to go. If I'm late to Mr. Matick's class again he's going to have an aneurysm. I'll catchup with you after school.Dawson: No, I've got to meet Joey for this art thing.Pacey: Ah, the sacrifices we make for young love, huh? Listen, man, just talk to melater! *Cut to Joey and Jack*Joey: Hey, Jack.Jack: Hey Jo.Joey: Bad news. Suder(?) called and cancelled on Bessie so we can't open this afternoon but the goodnews is you have the day off.Jack: Okay, but we could open anyway.Joey: Well, I'd love to but Bessie's at home with the baby and I've got to go to an art lectureafter school so there's really no one to cover all the tables.Jack: Well, there's me. I could do it.Joey: You? Inspecter Kleso(sp?)?Jack: What? You don't think Icould handle it?Joey: Jack, every since we hired you it's been nothing but a slapstick comedy. I mean, you drop dishes, you misplace orders, you fall all overyourself.Jack: Then why don't you just terminate me if I'm such an incompetent moron?Joey: We don't want to terminate you, Jack. *thinks about it* Alright, youcan open. Bessie will be relieved and it will be like a test run. Just, uh, don't set the kitchen on fire or anything...okay?Jack: Yeah, well, thanks for that unqualifiedvote of confidence. *Cut to lunch. Jen is sitting when Abby comes up and holds money in front of her face.*Jen: Oh, Abby. Would you get that out of my face?*Abby laughs then sits down*Abby: Oh come on. It's allowance time and I feel a major buying binge coming on. So tomorrow get your pocketbook and a sensiblepair of shoes and let's go blow some major dough.Jen: You know, I really don't feel like shopping.Abby: Don't feel like shopping?!Jen: No.Abby: You don't feel likeshopping and you call yourself a woman!Jen: I'm just not feeling all that festive, alright? My plan is to spend the weekend in bed...counting my ceiling tiles.Abby:Please, don't tell me this has something to do with your ludicrous Dawson Leery fixation. *Jen looks at her.*Abby: Jen, damn it! You're such an ass!Jen:Shhh!Abby: I mean what is so great about Dawson Leery? He's just a guy with a motormouth and a limp billy(?) club. Turn over a rock and find yourself anotherguy. The whole world's crawling with them.Jen: Look, it's not that easy, okay? I mean, I got rejected. It hurts. And to make matters worse...that wholeDawson-Joey-Pacey troyca(sp?) I just hate being on the outskirts of it, you know? I mean I used to fit in.Abby: Count your blessings. Those people areboring.Jen: Yeah. Yeah, well, I guess I just need a few days to nurse my narsocistic wounds.Abby: Jen, you've had a few days. You're practically in hibernation.Winter is over, Jen. Come out of your cave. And I need you with me.Jen: What could you possibly need me for? All I'm going to do is rain on your parade.Abby:Well, shopping for me is like deep sea diving. It's dangerous and exciting, and if I do it alone I may never come up for air. Please don't let me go by myself. Icould drown in a sea of dresses and hair gel. *They laugh* *Cut to a classroom. Andie drops some movies*Pacey: *picking them up* McPhee. I didn't know youwere a closet movie freak. I just thought you were a freak in general. *reads titles* Ghost, The Way We Were, pardon me as a gag, oh my god, Dumbo.Andie:Okay, so I have a grade school mentality when it comes to movies. Get off my back.Pacey: No, no, I love Dumbo.Andie: You love Dumbo?Pacey: Are you kidding?It's my pantion(?) of all time favorites. I cried when I saw it as a kid.Andie: You cried during Dumbo?Pacey: Are you joking me? I bawled my head off. I mean,the way those elephants made fun of him for those fat, floppy ears and then he loses his mother. Oh my lord, that's one of the saddest movies ever.Andie: This isreally strange.Pacey: What is?Andie: Well, just when I've written you off for good you drop this whole Dumbo bomb on me.Pacey: Hey, look, uh, I'm outta hereand I got no plans so uh what do you say we walk around downtown or something?Andie: Yeah, right, what's the joke?Pacey: No joke. I got no plans. And,believe it or not, I'd rather spend the afternoon exchanging barks with a bright like yourself than flying solo so pinch yourself, it's your lucky day. So youin?Andie: Yeah, I mean, might as well.Pacey: Unless you have your heart set on watching Dumbo.Andie: Nah, I've seen it like 500 times. You're not going tothrow me in front of a bus or anything?Pacey: Interesting idea. Hadn't thought of that. *Cut to art lecture.*Laura: I'd like to close with this piece, \"Winter Mist\".It's Jarvis' most famous work. No one can deny after looking at this exquisitely tuned surface that this picture that the positions of color and shape.. *Dawson hasa skeptical look on his face. Joey looks like she's concentrating and interested.*Laura: (cont.) the intensity of his lines...that Jarvis was in complete control of hisnew technique. Sadly, three weeks after Jarvis completed \"Winter Mist\" he died from alcohol poisoning. Despite his untimely death, Jarvis left a lasting impressionon the art world and his title of one of the abstract expressionists of the 20th century...will live on.*Audience claps.* *Cut to Dawson and Joey walkingoutside*Joey: The art lecture was great wasn't it?Dawson: It was certainly...prolonged.Joey: You hated it.Dawson: No, not at all. I just don't think abstractimpressionism is really my thing.Joey: Your thing?Dawson: Yeah, I don't know it just seemed so unresolved.Joey: Unresolved?Dawson: Yeah, I mean it's just ablob of paint that offers up more questions than answers.Joey: A blob of paint, Dawson?Dawson: Well, like \"Winter Mist\" for example. What was the ultimateemotion expressed in that painting?Joey: Dawson, newsflash. Just because a painting does not have a beginning, middle, and an end like some summer release,popcorn movie doesn't mean it's not charged with emotion, okay?Dawson: I guess I like my art with a verdict. Specific, coherent, and to the point. Likeromanticism. I can totally get into romanticism....if you know what I mean.Joey: Yes, I know what you mean. *Laura walks up.*Laura: Hey guys.Dawson: HeyLaura! Great lecture.Laura: Did you really like it?Joey: It was awesome.Laura: Tomorrow I'm teaching an art class so if you two are interested in auditing(?)you're definitely welcome.Dawson: I've got to work.Laura: Joey?Joey: I'm afraid my artistic skills peaked in the 3rd grade.Laura: Ah, it's a beginner's class. Youdon't have to be Picasso, just willing. *Joey considers it* *Cut to Pacey and Andie walking downtown*Andie: This truck literally came out of nowhere and I didn'tsee it so now my Saab's back in the shop.Pacey: Another accident? You are officially the world's worst driver. *Pacey sees Tamara*Andie: Pacey? Pacey what'swrong?Tamara: Hello Pacey. Aren't you going to introduce me to your friend? *Pacey just stands there.*Tamara: Tamara Jacobs.Andie: Nice to meet you. I'mAndie.Tamara: Pacey was a former student of mine.Pacey: Yeah, I was her teacher and she was...no, I was her student and she was my teacher.Tamara: Well,I'm late for an appointment. It was really nice to see you, Pacey.Pacey: Yeah, likewise.Tamara: And nice to meet you, too, Andie. Take care. *She walksoff.*Andie: Pacey what's the matter? You look like you've seen a ghost.Pacey: No I haven't seen her for awhile and she was my teacher and uh...Andie: Yourteacher. Did she flunk you or something?Pacey: Uh, no, no. Uh, you know what, Andie? I think I'm going to have to take a raincheck on this. Um, I'm really sorry,but I've got to go, okay?Andie: What? Are you serious? *Cut to Pacey watching Tamara enter a warehouse.* *Cut to art class.*Laura: I'm on to you, Joey.Joey:What do you mean?Laura: How many other talents have you been hiding from me?Joey: Please, it's an apple and a banana. It's hardly the second coming.Laura:You can be as self-depreciating as you want. It doesn't change the fact that you're a natural. You, my friend, have a gift. Do you draw much?Joey: Uh, when Iwas little, I did. I wanted to be like my mom was.Laura: Was? Why did she stop?Joey: She, uh, she didn't. She...she died.Laura: Oh, I'm so sorry, Joey. Thatmust have been incredibly difficult. When?Joey: A few years ago. She had breast cancer.Laura: She was an artist?Joey: Sort of. I mean, she taught herself. Shewasn't a professional...like you. She just kind of did it for fun. I remember she used to draw pictures from my favorite stories and hang them in my room.Laura:So, art must be in your genes.Joey: I don't know. I guess.Laura: Well, if you enjoy this, Joey, I think that you should really pursue it. I could recommend some"}

He was the one who wrote the poem.Jaycee: Oh my God! You're the gay guy!Abby: In the flesh.Jack:*uncomfortably* Yeah..Abby: Jaycee, Kelly, this is Jack McPhee. Capeside's no longer ambiguous resident.Kelly: You know, I think it's so great that you came outand you're only 16. You know, I totally watched Ellen through that whole tulmultuous year and, well, she didn't come out until she was, like, 40.Jack: Um, can Iget you guys something to drink while you're looking over those menus?Jaycee: You know what I just realized? You're the first actual gay person that I've evermet.Abby: It is such a total waste because I mean, you're a total babe.Jack: You know, I'd take that as a compliment if it wasn't coming from Satan. *Jack walksoff and Abby follows him*Abby: Jack, you have got me all wrong. I am not even one of his helpers.Jack: Well, then, I guess I should compliment you on thatclever disguise you've been wearing for the last couple of months.Abby: We got started off on the wrong foot. True, I may have been flawed in the past but, Imean, sometimes people can surprise you. You should know a little bit about that yourself. *Cut to Andie in therapy.*Therapist: It sounds like you've had a lot onyour shoulders for a 16-year-old girl.Andie: Yeah, well, after Tim died and Mom, you know, it seemed like there needed to be someone to be the glue to hold thefamily together and I guess I was the most-likely candidate.Therapist: Well, I'm not surprised that you started to feel a bit overwhelmed.Andie: Yeah, um, I feltlike I was juggling all these balls in the air, you know? And if I dropped one, they'd all come crashing down, and, um, then I'd start thinking about everything allat once and I'd get these panic attacks when my heart was racing and I couldn't breathe...Therapist: Andie, Andie. Tell me something. Forget about savingeveryone and even forget about your family for a minute. What is it that you want? What do you wish for? For yourself?Andie: I wish I could get rid of all myworries. You know? And be one of those people who just sails right through life. You know? And they do what they want to do, whatever makes them happy andthey don't care what other people think about them.Therapist: Well, then, why couldn't you? I'm going to give you a prescription, Andie, but not for a drug. Iprescribe for you one night of imperfection. *Cut to the Icehouse. Bessie hands Joey something.*Bessie: Here. You can get out of here early. I'm sure you wantto get changed before going to Dawson's.Joey: Believe me, Bess. It's not going to take me very long to get dressed. It's not like I have to get all gussied up foranybody seeing as though I've turned Jack off from women completely.Bessie: Joey, you know that's not true.Joey: I know. It's not true. I mean, intellectually, Iknow that it has nothing to do with me. It's--Bessie? What am I supposed to do now?Bessie: You paint. You concentrate on your art and yourself. I mean, youbroke up with Dawson because you wanted to find yourself...and then you went straight into a relationship with Jack. Now's your chance to do what you set out todo. I mean, look. Any girl would be acting the way you do right now under the circumstances. I mean, I think you're handling it with an amazing level of maturity.*They hug. Dawson enters.*Dawson: Joey, hey. I need to talk to you.Joey: Sure... *Joey gets her coat and heads out of the Icehouse with him..*Joey: What'sup? *Cut to Ty putting ribbon on Dawson's present.*Jen: Well, looks like you can add arts and crafts to your list of talents. *Ty laughs. Jen walks behind him bythe sink and turns around and looks at him.*Ty: I can feel that.Jen: What?Ty: You. Watching me. I mean, you think you're crafty, but I know. I can feel your eyeson me.Jen: You can not.Ty: Sometimes. Can't you?Jen: Nah, I don't know. I've never really tried.Ty: Close your eyes. *Jen closes her eyes and Ty looks ather.*Ty: There. Can you feel me looking?Jen: No. Not yet. *Ty leans in closer.*Ty: Now?Jen: No... *They kiss. They break apart and laugh.*Jen: I waspeeking.Ty: Uh huh... *They start kissing again, Ty breaks away.*Ty: Uh, morning? Kitchen...Grams. *Jen looks at him confused, kind of suspicious. Cut toDawson and Joey walking along a pier.*Joey: Oh, it's freezing out. I just wish it would snow already.Dawson: I know.Joey: Hey, remember what we used to dowhen we were kids?Dawson: What? Make a wish on the first snowfall?Joey: Uh huh. And it always came true. *They stop at a roasted peanut vendor*Dawson:Two.Joey: Well, except for the time we wished for a horse, a million dollars, and a trampoline all in the same year....I was greedy, what can I say? *They laugh.They pay for their peanuts.*Joey: Thanks.Vendor: Enjoy it. *They walk off.*Dawson: Snow is just so...hopeful, you know?Joey: Yeah. Hope is good. So...whatare you hoping for?Dawson: I'm hoping that we can get back to the way we were.Joey: Me too. And I've been trying to get our friendship back on track--Dawson:I'm not talking about just our friendship, Joey. Look, I can't deny the truth which is plainly and simply, I want more. I want you back.Joey: (shaking her head)Dawson...Dawson: I was so confused last night but then I realized that the only thing that makes sense in my life is you and I know that it's still there betweenus. I felt it during the whole Jack saga and I know that you feel it, too, because we're soulmates. Joey, you and I were meant to be. Period. The end. Cue happyending music.Joey: No...look, Dawson. Do you remember why we broke up in the first place? It wasn't about you at all and it certainly wasn't about Jack, it wasabout me. How I had things I needed to figure out.Dawson: Things that you were willing to figure out with Jack but not with me.Joey: No, Dawson! We can't talkabout this, you know why.Dawson: Joey! If you and me aren't meant to be together than I don't know anything. I wouldn't count on snow today. *He walks off.Cut to Joey, later that night, at the Leery house, stirring punch. Bessie walks in the kitchen.*Joey: I can't believe I'm throwing a surprise party for someone who"}

Toby is leading ours upstairs. Yeauck. But, I am giving everyone a little bit of a treat. We are going to listen in on Darryl'spresentation to the warehouse. And if I know Darryl, it gonna be zoppity.[SCENE_BREAK]Darryl: Now, this is the forklift. You need--- [Michael rattles it] You needa license to operate this machine. That means the upstairs office workers can't drive it. ... Quiz! Mike.Michael: Hmm.Darryl: Should you drive the forklift?Michael:I can, and I have.Darryl: No! No no no no no! I said should you. You should not drive it.

Okay?Michael: Ah, fine.Darryl: Do you understand that?Michael: Yeeesh.[SCENE_BREAK]Darryl: We dosafety training every year, or after an accident. ... We've never made it a full year.

Only on the rarest of occasions...Darryl: No do not touchit!Michael: ...would I go near---Darryl: There is no occasion for you to go near this stuff, okay?[SCENE_BREAK]Michael: Toby now has the floor... and he is goingto try not to screw this up, like everything else in his life. Let me rephrase that. I believe that you can do safety training and make it sound just as good as Darryl.Here we go!Toby: Ok, um, one thing that you're gonna want to look out for is carpal tunnel syndrome. It's recommended that you take a ten minute break fromtyping every hour. For your circulation, you're gonna want to get up out of your chairs and uh, and move around about ten minutes every hour.Michael: Yes,good. Fine. Like stretching and...Toby: Um, yeah. You're computer screen can be a big strain on your eyes, so uh, it's also recommended that you step away forabout... about ten minutes every hour.Michael: Wow, that is... that time really adds up. That's like... a half an hour, every hour?Darryl: Take them at the sametime.Michael: Ok, you know what? You're making it sound kind of lame. So, skip ahead to the really dangerous stuff. Like sometimes computers can explode, canthey not?Toby: No, no. Um, you always want to keep a sweater or cardigan of some sort, in case it gets drafty.Ryan: What about a long sleeve T?Toby: Well,that'll work.Kevin: Long johns? A shaw?Toby: You know, anything that warms you.Michael: Ok, you know what? I think that everybody is going to vomit due toboredom. [to warehouse guys] Sorry, he is very lame. [takes book from Toby] Um, let's see. \"Seasonal affective disorder! A depression that includes weight gain,fatigue, irritability, brought on by the low light of winter.\"Darryl: Thank God we only had a baler to deal with.Lonny: Yeah, that dim light is a bitch, ain'tit?Michael: Ok guys, you know what? I didn't--- I didn't interrupt when you were having your presentation.Darryl: Actually, you did.Michael: Yes. Okay, let's doanother one. This is a good one. \"A particular concern for office workers is a sedimentary life style, which can contribute---\"Toby: Sedentary.Michael: Yes. \"Whichcan contribute to heart disease.\" Heart disease kills more people that balers.Lonny: That's called having a fat butt, Michael.Michael: Mmmm, no, no, it's...sedentary...Lonny: Yeah, yeah. That's, that's fat butt disease. That's what you suffer from?Michael: No.Lonny: Fat butt disease, Michael?Kelly: Excuse me, seamonster, you weigh like a thousand pounds.Lonny: Yeah? I bet you'd like to swim with this sea monster, wouldn't you?Kelly: Ryan?Lonny: Dude, tell your girl toshut up.Kelly: What?!Ryan: Kelly, you insulted the gentleman. Please apologize.Kelly: Are you kidding me?Darryl: Alright, we outta here.Michael: Darryl, I did notwalk out in the middle of yours. So, I---Lonny: Yeah, but ours was real, Michael.Darryl: That's what I've been trying to tell you, Mike. It's serious down there. Wedo dangerous stuff, man. This is shenanigans, foolishness, Nerf-ball. You live a sweet, little, Nerf-y life. Sittin' on your biscuit. Never havin' to risk it.Michael:Okay. ... What, Nerf isn't cool anymore?[SCENE_BREAK]Michael: Darryl thinks he is such a man because he works in a warehouse. I worked in a warehouse.Men's Warehouse. I was a greeter. I'd like to see Darryl greet people. Probably make 'em feel like wimps. Not me, I... \"Hello, I'm Michael. Welcome to Men'sWarehouse. We have a special on khaki pants today.\" ... This is one example.[SCENE_BREAK]Kevin: [Pam is holding a jar of jellybeans] Ten.Oscar: Really, ten?That's your guess? You're a professional accountant.Jim: There's like ten green ones.Oscar: Forty-two.Jim: I'm gonna say fifty.Karen: Fifty-one.Jim: Oh, don't bethat person.Kevin: That is lame.Karen: It's a strategy!Pam: It's called being smart.Karen: Thank you.Kevin: Oh, geeze.[SCENE_BREAK]Pam: I don't know howthe whole betting thing started, but it's fun.[SCENE_BREAK]Pam: Ten...Jim: Kev's out.Kevin: Damn it.Pam: 47, 48, 49! Jim wins!Everyone: Oooh! [Jimclaps]Kevin: That is not fair. He has spent hours up here at reception with you. Hours and hours.Jim: Okay, okay.Kevin: No, constantly. Like, for years.Jim:Okay.[SCENE_BREAK]Michael: Pam, depression is as scary as a baler, right?Pam: I don't understand the question.Michael: Working in an office can lead todepression. Which can lead to suicide. I mean this is really serious stuff.Pam: Yeah...Michael: I--- I--- Nobody commits suicide because they work with a baler,and yet those guys are makin' fun of me, calling me a Nerf, that...Pam: It's really hard to demonstrate depression. Their safety training had visuals.Michael:Yeah... you are... ah, so right. They had visual aids. And all we had were the facts. You don't go to the science museum and get handed a pamphlet on electricity.You go to the science museum and you put your hand on a metal ball, your hair sticks up straight... and you know science.Pam: So, you're okay?Michael:Indubitably.[SCENE_BREAK]Michael: They use props. They use visual aids, and they just made us look like dopes.Dwight: Idiots! God, what are we gonnado!?Michael: I don't know, I don't know. Because you know what our killer is? Depression---Dwight: Wolves.Michael: Nn--- Depression.[SCENE_BREAK]Dwight:Visual aids.Michael: Yes.Dwight: A quilt. Depression quilt?Micheal: No time to sew a quilt. ... I got it. Give me the number for the Giant Big Box ToyStore.[SCENE_BREAK]Michael: You may be asking yourself, \"What am I doing on a trampoline?\" Well, I thought I'd bounce here for a while, relieve some stress,and then move on with my day. Not! Here's the plan. Dwight, is going to gather all of the office workers and all of the warehouse guys, we're going to haveanother safety seminar. Only this time, where's Michael? Oh my God! He is on the roof! Now I have got their attention. I... tell them, about the cold hard facts ofdepression. And then I say, \"Hey! You ever seen a suicide?\" And I jump. And they freak out.

Jane shows his IDand is allowed into the yard where Jared is sitting in his orange prisoner's clothes.Jared: Thank you for coming.Jane: You said you had information about RedJohn.Jared: Yes, I do. Killed your wife and daughter, huh? Heard a lot about you. They say you can tell when people are lying.Jane: Do you have informationabout Red John?Jared: I have dynamite information about Red John. Enough to catch him.Jane: How do you come by this information?Jared: Red John is a friendof a friend of mine.Jane: Is that friend of yours in prison too?Jared [laughs]: I have friends from all walks of life.Jane: Tell me.Jared: I am currently doing 25years to life for a crime I didn't commit. My last appeal just failed. You get me out of here and I will give you Red John.Jane: You raped and murdered your familyhousekeeper's daughter. If you do know a lot about me, you know that I'm not a real magician.Jared: I didn't do it.Jane: I read the case file. The physicalevidence, the testimonies of all the witnesses including your own family says you did.Jared: I didn't kill her.Jane: What happened?Jared: I don't know. We werepartying, I did some blows of meth, we had s*x, I fell asleep. And it's morning, Andine's dead, cops are busting in.Jane: The door was locked from the inside.There were bars on the windows.Jared: Yes.Jane: How is it physically possible that anyone else could have committed the murder?Jared: I don't know. But Ididn't, ergo someone else did. Someone you can find. You see me. Am I lying?Jane: You seem to be telling the truth, but you're a very clever, unprinciplednarcissist in a desperate corner. Even if you are innocent, doesn't mean you have information on Red John. Yeah, it's a tough call. [Pauses to think.] I'm gonnahave to say no. [Starts to walk away.]Jared: Your wife. Red John painted her toenails, yes? Painted them with her own blood. Police didn't make that public, didthey? She's the only instance he did that, huh? Touch of elegance, for you alone.Jane: How do you know that?Jared: I told you. Red John is a friend of a friend ofmine.Jane: What is this friend's name?Jared: His name is get me out of here and I will tell you. That and much more. I'll sing like a bird.Jane: Okay.Jane, Lisbonand Minelli are in Minelli's office.Minelli: No! I said no and I mean no. It's not that I don't want to help you. I want to help you. It's just it's not physically possible.Jared Renfrew was tried and convicted. It's a closed case. I have no authority to re-open it without cause.Jane: There is cause.Minelli: For you there's cause. Notfor the State of California. We can't touch it.Jane: Ah, but we could touch it if...Minelli: Closed case! Nothing to be done.

I can't be chasing every nutbag with a good story, can I?Lisbon: Yeah, sure you'refine with it. Just do me the favour of listening to me for a minute, so I can say 'I told you so' later.Jane: Sure.Lisbon: Jared Renfrew was found hugging the corpseof Andine Kopecki in a room locked from the inside, holding a bloody butcher knife in his hand. His semen was inside of her. He'd been stalking her for weeks.He's got a history of violence going back 15 years.Jane: What's your point?Lisbon: He's guilty. You're being conned.Jane: Possible, but I don't think so. But I'vegot to find out one way or the other.Lisbon: Even if he's telling the truth about the murder, he could still be lying about Red John.Jane: Also possible, but I've gotto take the chance. What else can I do?Lisbon: Minelli wants me to keep a watch on you.Jane: What are you going to do?Lisbon: Well, I'm not going to follow youaround. Let's compromise. When you get into trouble, call me first so I can try and minimise the damage.Jane: Deal.Lisbon: And don't use your CBI card. TheBureau finds out you used it without authorisation, you're done.Jane: I hear you.Outside the Renfrew's imposing gates. Jane presses the intercom.Maid [throughintercom]: Hello.Jane: Hi, my name's Patrick Jane. I'd like to speak to Gardner Renfrew about his brother Jared.Maid [through intercom]: One moment, please.[Pause] Mr Renfrew says no thank you.Jane: Tell Mr Renfrew I can prove his brother is innocent and I know who really committed the murder. Jane holds out hisarms like he's doing a magic trick and the gates begin to open.Jane is in inside with Gardner Renfrew and his wife, Breck. The maid has given Jane somewater.Jane: Thank you very much. [He points to a photo.] Is that your father?Gardner: Yes. What's this all about, Mr Jane? Who are you and what do you meanby this?They all sit down.Jane: Do you think your brother is innocent?Gardner: You said you could prove he's innocent. You said you know who really did it.Jane:No. That was just to get inside the house. I have no idea who might have done it. Might have been Jared. Hope not. He seems to be telling the truth. What do youthink?Gardner: I think you had better leave. Right now, Mr Jane. I don't have the time or the patience for tom-foolery. [He and his wife stand up.]Jane: So youthink he's guilty. I'm wasting my time.Gardner: We're done talking.Jane: Suppose I could prove he was innocent. Wouldn't you want that? Wouldn't you wantthat blot on your name expunged?Breck: Of course he would.Gardner: Nothing would make me happier, but my brother is guilty. He violated the poor girl , heviolated this house, he violated this family.Jane: That's all I needed to know. Thank you for your time. Your mother lives here in the guest house, doesn'tshe?Gardner: You leave my mother alone.Jane: Well, that's not your call to make, is it? [He gets up and walks further into the house.]Gardner: Breck, call thepolice.Jane: Be sure and tell them I'm unarmed.Jane ducks down a corridor with an annoyed Gardner behind him. He comes running out into the garden whereMrs Renfrew is.Gardner [calling]: Go inside, Mother! Go inside!Jane approaches Mrs Renfrew.Jane: My name's Patrick Jane. I want to speak to you about yourson, Jared.Gardner: I'll deal with him, Mother. The police are on their way. Just go inside.Mrs Renfrew: Don't order me about. And don't be so hysterical. [ToPatrick] What's your interest in Jared.Jane: I'm a friend of his. Trying to prove his innocence.Mrs Renfrew: Come and sit down.Jane: Thank you.Gardner: Mother,you're being childish.Mrs Renfrew: Go away, Gardner.Gardner: Mother!Mrs Renfrew: Go away! [Gardner leaves. Mrs Renfrew and Jane sit at a table in thegarden.] Tell me why you wish to prove my son's innocence.Jane: Oh, I can promise you, I'm not up to anything sinister, Ma'am. My motives are pure. Tell meabout Jared.Mrs Renfrew: He was a troubled child. Charming and bright, but a bully and a liar and something of a sadist.Jane: Qualities you rather liked in him, Iexpect.Mrs Renfrew [laughs]: Yes, I did. I found him rather amusing, at first. One doesn't want a wimp for a son. But there must be a sense of proportion andmoderation. As he got older, he got worse. Fell in with bad people. It was one scandal after another, in and out of prison. A common criminal.Jane: But he turnedhimself around, didn't he?Mrs Renfrew: He gave up the drink and the drugs and the gallivanting. Made peace with his brother and came home to help run thefamily businesses.Jane: The prodigal son.Mrs Renfrew: Yes. George, his father, was overjoyed. I was sceptical. Pleased, of course, but sceptical. As my motheralways said, you are what you are.Jane: I guess she's right.Mrs Renfrew: Yes. Poor George dropped dead a week after the murder. Broke his heart, people said.George didn't really have a heart, in that sense. He died of embarrassment. A Renfrew in the pokey for murder. Quelle horreur.Jane: Can you show me where ithappened?Jane and Mrs Renfrew inside the house, walking to the room where the murder took place.Jane: Who else was in the house?Mrs Renfrew: I had a smalldinner party. Probably 10 people all told. After they left, it was just family. Gardner and Breck, George and I, and Jared, of course. [She gets the key from the topof the doorframe and unlocks the door.]Jane: Not Mariska, the housekeeper?Mrs Renfrew: No. She lived out. [She opens the door.] Andine was only here to helpthe cook with the dinner party. [Jane looks around the room.] She was a lovely girl, full of life and promise. Her mother, Mariska, had been with us 20 years. Partof the family.Jane: Jared told me that he and Andine were having an affair. That he loved her and he'd never hurt her.Mrs Renfrew: She told her mother that hewas stalking her, that she was scared of him. She didn't go to the police out of respect for the family.Jane: Hmm. I'd like to speak to the mother.Mrs Renfrew:She left our employ, I'm afraid. It was too difficult for both of us.Jane: Where is she now?Mrs Renfrew: I have an address somewhere.Jane: Can you get it for menow?Mrs Renfrew: As you wish.Jane: Thank you.Mrs Renfrew leaves. Jane peers into a hall closet and sees some fishing line. He closely examines the door of theroom and the key. Gardner arrives with a couple of policemen and his wife.Policeman: Sir, would you come with us?Jane: Why?Policeman: You're trespassinghere.Jane: No, I'm not.Policeman: Okay, sir, this man here says he's the homeowner and says you're trespassing, so let's go.Jane: Officer, it's the other wayaround. I'm the homeowner, that man is the intruder.Gardner: That's a lie! He...he's lying.Jane: Listen to the madness in his voice. Will you please take himsomewhere he can get some help.Mrs Renfrew comes back in looking at a piece of paper in her hand.Mrs Renfrew: Here you are. I don't know that she'll still bethere, but...Jane: Thank you so much. [She sees the officers.]Mrs Renfrew: For heaven's sake, Gardner! Policemen! How ridiculous! Send them away.Policeman:Ma'am, this man here is...Mrs Renfrew: Yes, yes, it's quite all right, officer. You can go.The policemen start to leave.Gardner: Thanks.Jane: Well, goodbye, MrsRenfrew. I expect we'll speak again soon.Mrs Renfrew: Good day to you. [Jane raises his eyebrows at Gardner as he leaves.]Jane, Lisbon and Minelli once more inMinelli's office.Minelli: Gardner Renfrew is a player in this town. You can't go to his house and screw around with him.Jane: Why not? It's a free country. I didn'tuse my ID. I didn't even mention the CBI.Minelli: You gave your real name.Jane: It's my name!Minelli: Well, you should have lied as you so often do, becausenow I have to give you an official reprimand and order you in the strongest possible terms to leave the Renfrew family alone and drop the matter.Jane: Sorry,can't do that.Minelli: You have to. This is straight from the AG's office.Jane: Jared Renfrew didn't kill Andine Kopecki.Lisbon: Do you have evidence of that?Jane:"}

I'm a psychologist and I'm here to talk to you about the human finger that you found.\"BOOTH: That's great. Could you dothat?SWEETS: No. That could introduce issues that don't currently exist. Just call me if he displays any symptoms of distress.BOOTH: Okay, any symptoms ofdistress. Like um, killing cats?SWEETS: Yeah, sure.(Cut to: Booth and Brennan, Booth is sitting in the SUV while Brennan leans against it. Lights are flashingaround them, obviously at a crime scene near the Jefferson Memorial.)BRENNAN: When I was five years old, I went next door to visit our neighbor, Mrs. Walkey,and she was dead; sitting at the kitchen table. And I'm alright.BOOTH: You spend your life with skeletons. It's just a matter of time. He's just a kid. He's gonnarealize that he had a dead finger in his hand. He's gonna freak out.BRENNAN: Are you afraid you're going to get into trouble with Rebecca?BOOTH: There's achance that he might not say anything to her.BRENNAN: So, yes.FBI AGENT: Agent Booth?BOOTH: Yeah?FBI AGENT: We found something.(Booth gets out of thecar and shuts the door.)(Cut to: Booth and Brennan with flashlights walk into a copse of trees.)BOOTH: Okay, what have you got?(Cut to: An opossum chewingon a corpse.)BOOTH: Whoa!BRENNAN: Aww, it's an opossum.BOOTH: Eating a body.

Shoo, shoo. Go, go, go, go.Go, go, go. Shoo, shoo. C'mon, shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo. (Opossum walking slowly off.)BOOTH: Yeah, they're terrified.(Brennan returns to thecorpse and looks down at it.)BRENNAN: A number of body parts are missing. We'll have to grid the vicinity.BOOTH: Okay, we'll re-calibrate the search, and we'llcall this ground zero.BRENNAN: Fanny pack, PDA clip.BOOTH: Well, if you can identify this person, I can subpoena the PDA's contents.BRENNAN: Partialskull.BOOTH: (Shines his flashlight around the area and lands on the opossum.) Oh, look at that. The possum's dead. (Eyes brighten with an idea.) I got it! Thevictim was poisoned, the possum ate the victim, got poisoned and died. That's it.BRENNAN: (walks over to the opossum while explaining to Booth) A stressed-outopossum can go into a false sleep, lasting up to four hours. (Picks up the opossum by the tail, and it starts moving shortly after.)BOOTH: Oh. So the possum wasfaking it?BRENNAN: Uh-huh. (Puts the opossum down and it walks off.)BOOTH: Wow. Yep, there it goes.BRENNAN: Uh, you should go get him.BOOTH: What do Ilook like, Ranger Rick?BRENNAN: He could have evidence in his digestive tract.BOOTH: C'mon, Bones.BRENNAN: Booth, evidence.BOOTH: Fine, I'll go get yourpossum.BRENNAN: Opossum.BOOTH: Possum.BRENNAN: Opossum.ACT ONE(Open on: Medico-Legal Lab platform. Mr. Starret and Cam are examining theremains found near the Jefferson Memorial.)STARRET: The sternal rib end indicates the victim was between 35 and 40 years old. The length of the long bonessuggests he was between five-foot-eight and five-ten.CAM: He?STARRET: Bone density and skull indicators suggest male.CAM: Time of death... approximatelyfour days ago. Lividity indicates that he died somewhere else and was then dumped. Deep puncture wounds to the trachea pierced the jugular. He bled todeath.STARRET: I'll make an impression of the wounds, and see if we can't specify a murder weapon.CAM: First we look for particulates.(Cut to: Hodgins lookingin a microscope, Sweets is standing nearby.)HODGINS: Bull pen1s.SWEETS: Beg your pardon?HODGINS: The fanny pack had dandruff-sized flakes of bull pen1sin it. (Sits back from the microscope and looks at Sweets) Why are you spying on me?SWEETS: Could it be because I'm the dupe of an organ of the shadowyforces that secretly run this country?HODGINS: You got the dupe part right. (Looks back into the microscope) Freeze dried bovine phallus.SWEETS: You knowwhere to find me if you wish to discuss anything.HODGINS: Yeah, the problem isn't finding you-it's avoiding you. Hm.SWEETS: Okay.(Sweets exits.)(Cut to:Angela's office. Angela is at the computer while Starret and Cam look over her shoulders.)ANGELA: The skull was badly mangled, so I was only able to construct apartial. But I cross-checked physiological markers against the missing persons database and it yielded three possibilities. Okay. Robert Sanchez, 24... STARRET:Too young.ANGELA: Michael Minden, former basketball coach, thirty-nine.STARRET: Too tall.ANGELA: That leaves Dr. Seth Elliot, veterinarian, thirty-seven.CAM:Any objections to Dr. Elliot?STARRET: He falls into the parameters. Plus, dog trainers use freeze dried bull penises as rewards. He was a veterinarian.ANGELA:H-how do you know about the bull pen1s stuff?CAM: He's middle-aged and he's held every possible job.STARRET: Four boys, seven dogs, fourteen guinea pigs,one reticulated python... you get the point.ANGELA: I got it.(Cut to: Conference room at the FBI building. Booth and Brennan are questioning the ex-wife of thevictim, Alice Elliot.)ALICE: Oh, God. I've always hated that fanny pack. That's blood on it, isn't it? What happened?BRENNAN: Mrs. Elliot, when did you last speakwith your husband?ALICE: Ex-husband. On Thursday, we made arrangements for Seth to pick up Brando. We have joint custody.BOOTH: And Brando is... (Asmall dog pokes it's head out of a bag on Alice's lap) your cat.BRENNAN: That's a dog, Booth.BOOTH: I... Thank you. So, uh... Seth Elliot never picked upFido.BRENNAN: Brando.BOOTH: The dog?ALICE: Seth's dead, isn't he?BOOTH: I'm afraid so.(Alice starts to cry and hugs the dog.)BRENNAN: May I hold your dogwhile you cry? (Alice hands over the dog and Brennan grins.) Oh, he's so compact. (The dog is making small yipping and growling noises.)ALICE: Brando adoredSeth. So did I.BOOTH: Wow, not so many ex-wives speak so fondly of their former husbands.ALICE: I never wanted to divorce Seth.BRENNAN: Then why didyou?ALICE: You know, Seth had a serious gambling problem.

I know this has nothing to do with the role you decide to have in your son's life...Francis: Well, perhaps it should.Mary: Those who are close to us... evenhere at court will know the truth. Your mother has guessed it already. Spend time with your son absolutely, but...Francis: But don't claim him. Officially, youmean.Mary: Yes.Catherine: Thank you. I'm surprised to see you. My deepest sympathies for the loss of your son Eduard. Can I get you anything? Somelemonade?Narcisse: I thought this castle would be the safest place for him. Why wasn't it?Catherine: Bring us some whiskey.Nostradamus: Lord Narcisse is here.Asking a lot of questions about his son's death. I explained that he showed symptoms of plague, high fever, rash.Mary: You are good to cover for me. LordNarcisse will never know. His son did die of plague. His body will tell the tale. Eduard murdered an entire household to kill one foe. Since he cared so little forpeople, it's fitting that he died among the lowborn. I have asked much of you... not the least that you betray your very dangerous friend Catherine. She wasmortified that she overreacted to her symptoms. She hates being vulnerable. But it is hard not to enjoy it. We tried to save lives. I owe you. And I will protectyou.Catherine: So many people died here. Nobles, servants alike. I was in my chambers when your son took ill. But Nostradamus, he...Narcisse: Yes. I've alreadyspoken with your court physician. A... a father can't help but wonder about his son's final days. I survived by fleeing to the country. I feel that I should've sent forhim.Catherine: There was nothing you could do.Narcisse: : I need to go see him now. You do understand, don't you? (groans) When was this roomsealed?Guards: Two weeks ago, my lord.Narcisse: Most nobles died in their chambers. Were many nobles sent here by mistake?Guards: Couldn't say, sir. It wasa living hell. Do you see him?Narcisse: Not yet. That is my son. Wrap him. Carefully. (moaning nearby) Who's there? This one is still alive.Guards: How couldanyone still be alive? He must be immune.Man: Water.Narcisse: That is my son. Were you with him? Did you see him die? We will get you some water andsomething to eat. And then you are going tell me all about what happened to my son. (laughter, clamoring)Catherine: Ah, this is nothing compared to what we'lldo for your coronation. But your safe return is cause for celebration.Francis: It's nice to see some joy in this castle after so much grief. I hear you had a hand inour new chambers as well.Catherine: One bedroom for husband and wife. Good luck to both of you with that. I thought Narcisse was leaving with his son's body.Why is he back with so many nobles?Narcisse: King Francis.Francis: Narcisse. My lords. I'm pleased to see you're all alive and well. In the wake of the plague, Iwill be calling on all of you to enforce my laws. Together you control vast regions of France. Some of you will be valued additions to my royal council.Narcisse: Ofcourse, King Francis. But we're here to ask something of you as well. Justice.Francis: What's this about exactly?Narcisse: My son Eduard... was murdered. Here inyour castle while you were away. By Nostradamus, the court physician. I don't know what grudge you held against my son.Nostradamus: I had no argument withhim.Narcisse: Then why did you make false diagnosis?Why did you condemn him to death?Francis: These are serious allegations.Narcisse: My son was healthywhen he was thrown in with servants riddled with plague. I know this because a witness, a survivor, has told me this tale. My son was deliberately infected.Mary:I assure you, if a mistake was made, Nostradamus intended no harm.Narcisse: Assure us all... your loyal nobility, that we are still safe under your rule. We whocollect your coin, we who grow your food, we who provide your soldiers, we who uphold your laws. Hold the murderer of my son accountable to these same laws.And show us that no life, especially one of our own, may be taken with impunity. (gasping, murmuring)Francis: Take Nostradamus away for questioning.Mary:Eduard murdered an entire household... men, women and children. I did what I had to.Francis: And Narcisse knows it was you who killed his son?Mary: I was theone who forced Eduard into the plague room against his will. If there was a survivor, he would have witnessed everything.Catherine: There was another survivorof your crimes, Mary. Me. You drugged me, didn't you? You were so adamant to stand up to the nobles, and I got sick just when you needed me out of theway.Mary: I had to stop you.Catherine: Oh, you wouldn't delve into my poisons without help. It was Nostradamus. Your actions spared no one, saved nothing andcost us all dearly. Narcisse wants the guards who brought his son to the catacombs executed as well.Mary: We don't have to accede to his demands. You andHenry might have bowed to the nobles, but we won't.Catherine: We kept the nobles happy. If they feel betrayed, they can rise up against you. I've seen revoltsfirsthand, a full-scale rebellion could mean the end of your reign.Francis: I know that you want to do things differently, but I'm not sure that this is the time. Theplague shortages have given too much power to Narcisse. The nobles follow him now, and they are watching our every move.Mary: Then let them watch you, andthat you be above reproach. This was my mistake and I'll fix it.(indistinct conversation, hammer clinking) (horse whinnies)Man: Whoa.Leith: Oh... LordCastleroy.Castleroy: Wasn't this enough for you? A kitchen boy, given some of the best lands in the region. You had to have my daughter, too?Leith: LordCastleroy, I am so sorry. Yvette was kind and...Castleroy: She was everything you told Greer you wanted. Rich and innocent and my daughter. How Greer wouldhave suffered to see your rise, and what a close view she'd have had.Leith: I can assure you that I didn't realize who she was until after we...Castleroy: If mydaughter had never met you, she would be alive!Leith: I would never have hurt her.Castleroy: I don't know that, and neither do you. Given the proximity youwould have had to the woman I know you love.Leith: Look, please, just... look, wait...Greer: Leith, no! (Grunts)Castleroy: Stay away from my family. Or I willdestroy you.Narcisse: Queen Mary. Where is your husband?Mary: I would prefer it if we settled this matter privately. I think you know who's truly responsible forEduard's death.Narcisse: You are. But, as you are a queen, you're nearly untouchable. Nearly. But those that lied for you, I can reach easily enough. That is how Iwill punish you.Mary: Your son was a monster. He asked me to murder his enemy, and when I refused, he poisoned an entire household.Narcisse: Why didn't youarrest him?Mary: I let my anger get the best of me. And my outrage.Narcisse: Hand what of mine? He was my son! He was loyal and obedient and he had hiswhole life ahead of him. He was to marry an archduchess, gain one of the most prized farming regions in France...Mary: He was to marry into land? He told me hewas already married. That Voland had slept with his wife. Why did he really want Voland dead? You also said he was obedient. Was he following your orders? I amqueen. You will answer my questions. Why did you want Voland dead? I command you!Narcisse: No, you command nothing! I don't fear you, I don't fear yourhusband! Because without me, without the other nobles, your power disappears. We are the outside world, and we surround you. There is a consensus amongstthe other nobles, given my son's station, that an example must be made.

And you will learn never to cross meagain.Francis: My mother's been negotiating to spare Nostradamus, but it's no use.

We'd be in the same position we're in now with him trying to force your hand.Francis: If his son were alive, Narcisse wouldn'tbe consumed with revenge.

Jack Mcphee, Zack Estrin, Dawson Leery,Dave Bussan, Pacey Witter.[Scene: The Principal's Office. There is a montage of Jack, Dawson and Pacey being questioned by the Principal and Mitch.]Principal:Process of elimination has made you one of the lucky 3 that I still consider to be a suspect in this crime. Now ,there's an easy way to do this, Mr. Witter, and thereis a hard way.Pacey: Well, seeing as I have absolutely no idea what crime you're referring to, I'll probably take the easy way.Dawson: What, are you guysaccusing me of something?Mitch: You know that you're the last person I would suspect of being responsible for a stunt like this, but you can also understand whywe would have no choice but to bring you in.Jack: [Laughs] yeah. The dog fingered me.Mitch: We're on your side, Pacey, but we got to get to the bottom of thismystery. And circumstances require that we at least consider you as a possible suspect.Dawson: What circumstances would those be?Mitch: Well, given thatyou're my son, it, uh, follows that you would have access to my master keys to the school, thereby placing you on a rather short list.Principal: Mr. Witter,everyone in Capeside is aware of the rather sad fate of the late vessel true love, which, I believe, gave you access to the marine storage facility in the yacht clubwhere my boat resided at the time of its boat napping, if you will.

Youknow that community service, manual-labor thing you're supposed to be doing?Jen: Oh, yeah.Jack: I asked them if it was possible if you could fulfill yourcommitment by assisting me with my soccer team.Jen: And what'd they say?Jack: They said, \"providing that kind of guidance for a kid \"is exactly the kind ofrehabilitating activity that your kind needs in order to mend her evil ways.\"Jen: Jack, I think I'm more qualified to pick up trash on the highway than moldimpressionable young minds.Jack: Aw, come on. Look, I need you here. Every since Andie left, I've been barely getting by. I mean, the soccer parents have beencompletely unhelpful.

Ijust felt the need to explore my options.Joey: Pacey, for 5 years, your brother has been nagging you about spending a day with him observing police policies, andyou've always told him to just stick it. Then you take some meaningless career aptitude test, and suddenly you're watching the lost episodes of cop rock andtaking him up on his dubious offer.Pacey: Well, don't you think I'd look sexy in a uniform? Hmm?Joey: Beside the point.Pacey: Oh, I don't think so at all.

I love that it's okay tobe Russian again.RICHARD: It sounds lovely.EMILY: How's the 23rd?RICHARD: Perfect.EMILY: And I want you to get a new suit.RICHARD: I don't need a newsuit.EMILY: And find out what Jason's going to wear.

I like that.CUT TO YALE CLASSROOM[Rory is in one of herclasses]PROFESSOR: The conquering peoples impose their own values on the subjugated peoples through education, and quite often through the appointment ofa priesthood from among their own ranks. This means we should not assume that the system of values has in some way evolved in a region. It is almost alwaysimposed with the explicit purpose of keeping power in the hands of the powerful. Something to think about until next week, when we will burst more of yourillusions. . .which brings me to a bit of bad news. There was an error in the syllabus you received. The dates were wrong, which means that all of your reading hasbeen pushed up one week. I apologize for this cruel little life experience, but what can I do? I just found out my in-laws are moving back to town. None of us areimmune. I'll see you all Tuesday.CUT TO THE DRAGONFLY INN[The construction crew is working on the inn.

Now what did she say exactly?SOOKIE: Well, she asked me to cater,and I said we'd love to, and then she said, \"we?\" so I said you and I had started a company, so it'd be the both of us together, and she said fine.LORELAI: Wasthere a pause before \"fine\" or was it just \"fine\"?SOOKIE: I don't remember. I just remember the \"fine.\"LORELAI: She's mad.SOOKIE: I swear she didn't soundmad.LORELAI: Okay.SOOKIE: Good.LORELAI: Now let's talk about how much I can't do this.SOOKIE: Look, I knew it would be a thing working for your mother,but it's perfect timing. This is probably the last job we'll be able to take before I have the baby.LORELAI: Something else will come along.SOOKIE: Not that payslike your mother does.LORELAI: You know why she pays so much? So she can torture you and you won't throw knives at her.SOOKIE: Look, you already knowthe house. Decorating, planning - it's gonna be a snap for you. I bet you can spend ninety percent of the evening in the kitchen, then we get to take home thepretty, pretty money.LORELAI: Sookie.SOOKIE: Pretty, pretty money. Aren't you a big fat wad of pretty money?LORELAI: Fine.SOOKIE: Really?LORELAI:Shouldn't ask again.SOOKIE: Accepting and moving on.KIRK: Excuse me, Lorelai.LORELAI: Oh, my God, Kirk, I forgot you were here.KIRK: If I had a nickel forevery time I heard that.LORELAI: I'm very, very sorry.

All right, Kirk, show me what you got.KIRK: If you'll just follow me, I would like to present you with my new line of one-of-a-kind mailboxes.LORELAI:Wow. They look very nice, Kirk.KIRK: And whimsical. They say to the world, \"I'll take my mail with a smile.\"LORELAI: Yes, they do say that.KIRK: And since youare one of our preferred customers, with the purchase of one of our mailboxes, I'll throw in a carved-duck doorstop and a garlic peeler.LORELAI: Wow, that'squite an offer, Kirk, but I think it's a little early for me to pick a mailbox. We haven't even settled on a color for the inn yet.KIRK: Well, whimsy goes witheverything.LORELAI: Kirk, I promise, just as soon as. . .is that Condoleezza Rice?KIRK: Yes, it is.

This is the second time the Palace has come to me. The agitation in the Plaza, the galvanizing of the people, ooh, has them running scared. It's poker.Right now we have the winning hand. Why negotiate? Hmm? Nobody negotiated with Mubarak. No, no, no, no, no, no. When this Amriki walks in, I'm going to tellhim exactly what it will take for us to clear the Plaza: his brother's resignation. Jamal Al Fayeed... he can, uh, take his blood money, go to... go to Paris.(laughter) Or go to London. Spend the rest of his days writing his memoirs.Farah: But what if he's actually willing to offer us something?Ihab: No. His fatherbetrayed my father. I'm not about to let him do the same thing to me. The only offer we will take is for Jamal Al Fayeed to leave Abbudin.Fauzi: You sure aboutthis?Barry: I'm sure of one thing. A narcissist with a messiah complex is not about to negotiate with me. Look, I'm betting Ihab told everyone in earshot that anAl Fayeed asked to sit down with him. He said yes so quickly, 'cause he wants to tell me where to go in front of an audience, but now he's gonna have to explainwhy he's sitting at the table alone. For my plan to work, I have to take him down a notch. Make the call.Samira: Father, where are you? Everyone's here, andthey're... Okay. Okay. It's my father.Ihab: You are late.

That is bullshit!(chuckles)(engine stops)(Barry sighs)Barry:Thank you, my friend.Fauzi: You know, I'm worried for you, Bassam.Barry: (chuckles) Been a while since anyone called me that.Fauzi: You know this game you'replaying, it's a dangerous game.Barry: I don't see another option.I have to clear the Plaza before Tariq does.John: The garage meet. Classic. This is insane. Whyset a meet with Ihab so you can stand him up?Barry: Ihab's having his moment. He was never gonna bargain. So I had to take the wind out of his sails. Ihab's aboy. I want to see his father, the man who almost made peace with my father. I was here, Tucker, okay? I saw it. The people adored him. I need an hour withSheik Rashid.John: So, you want to use Sheik Rashid to do an end run around Ihab? I mean, what... what happened to the nice family doctor fromPasadena?Barry: Don't screw me around, John. The U.S. brokered Sheik Rashid's asylum 20 years ago. I need to talk to him, and you know where he is.John:Does your brother even know you're here?Barry: I didn't say anything, because he'd never give me this much rope.John: Well, if you want to hang yourself withit, be my guest. Don't expect me to build the gallows.Barry: Tucker, I'm just trying to keep America's ass from landing on the wrong side of history.John: Uh-huh.Which doesn't involve turning you into another Daniel Pearl.

Shall I leave him a, um, message?Leila: Who drowned your puppy?Tariq: Have you seen your husband?Leila: I'm not his keeper.Tariq: At least tellme why he ordered me to stand down. I was about to send two brigades to the Plaza, and all of a sudden, he changes his mind with no explanation. He won't takemy calls. He's cancelled his meetings for the day.Leila: The president isn't required to consult with his wife on every decision he makes.Tariq: But as his wife, youshould know. If Jamal isn't prepared to defend the regime, there are others who will.Leila: I hope, for your sake, you're not threatening my husband.Tariq: Onthe contrary, I'm trying to protect him.(crowd clamoring over video)(rapid gunfire over video)Ihab: Now these Al Fayeeds, they want to give us platitudes.Leila:He's a parrot.His mouth moves, but other people's words come out. La Boétie, Guevara and his father, the Sheik.Ihab: As men and women of...Leila: But you,you are in the position to make your own history.Jamal: Start with a compliment, end with an ask. What do you want?Leila: Yesterday in the Plaza, they nearlykilled you.Jamal: You exaggerate.Leila: No, I was there, Jamal. Three weeks, and the people are already questioning your leadership. Now is the time to be firm,to show them that you are in control. Why are you holding back Tariq?Jamal: Why? For you.Leila: For me?Jamal: If I move against the Plaza, ten times as manywill rise up against me, against my family. This is certain, Leila. So what do I do? I wait until tomorrow. Maybe these clouds will bring a storm. Or maybesomething will happen to clear them.Leila: Is this you talking? Or is it Bassam?

Youhave to take him to the hospital.Reema: No hospital.Molly: Why not?Reema: Please, ma'am.Molly: Okay, tell you what... You take me to see your brother, andthis stays between us.Reema: You will tell no one?Molly: No.Ahmed: Where's the fire?Nusrat: You smell like tequila.

I didn't get married to take care of my own needs!(door slams)Jamal: Mother, this isreally beautiful.Amira: Not nearly as beautiful as your daughter-in-law.Jamal: Yes, Ahmed is a lucky man.Is this my grandson I feel in there? Bassam is waitingfor me.Amira: Your father would be so happy to see his two sons working together like this.Jamal: He would have been.Amira: Are you all right, Nusrat?

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. What is the game he's playing?Samira: Same game as youare. You were only there to tell him off to his face.Ihab: You... you knew all along Bassam was going to blow me off.Samira: What?! No! No!Ihab: You set thelocation, set the time.Samira: Ihab, stop! You're letting your anger get the best of you at a time when the people need your leadership. People are trusting youwith their lives. People I know!

Free Abbudin!Ihab: Abbudin!Barry: Jamal's given me 24 hours to see if I can clear the Plaza peacefully.Molly: What are you gonnado?Barry: Tucker is reaching out to Ihab's father, the Sheik, to try and arrange a meeting. Before my father launched the attack on Ma'an, he and the Sheik satdown for peace talks. Rashid was prepared to negotiate a peaceful solution.Molly: Yeah, and then he bombed the Palace.Barry: An army barracks. And it was hisfollowers, not him. Look, 20 years ago, Rashid was prepared to negotiate with my father.

Tucker's gonna call me back. Until then,I'm going to go for a run, okay?Molly: So it's a suicide mission.Barry: That's blowing it out of proportion. And Molly, really, I don't have another choice here.Molly:Of course you have another choice. You also have two kids and a wife. I mean... you're gonna get yourself killed, Barry.Barry: Honey, we're not at home listeningto this on NPR, we're in it. And I can do something my father couldn't... I can end this peacefully.Molly: That's Jamal's job, not yours. Why are you putting yourlife on this line for this?Barry: 'Cause my name's not Smith or Jones!(Molly scoffs)Molly: If I didn't know you better, I'd say you were starting to get off onthis.Ahmed: Hakim, I know Nusrat is here.Hakim: Now is not a good time. She's upset.Ahmed: Which is why she should be with her husband and not run to herparents like a child!We had a thing this morning, now she's not returning my calls.Hakim: I swear I'll talk sense into her.

The next few weeks are gonna be ... crazy hard on her as it is. Buffy turns away as she continues talking. Dawn rollsher eyes and turns to pick up the statue.BUFFY: (on the sofa, moving cushions around) Any reminder of, of what it is that she's trying to stay away from, youknow, could cause her to ... give in to temptation.

It's finally done. Jonathan and Andrew come upbehind him to look.WARREN: I mean, it still needs a trial run, but it's-JONATHAN: Kind of clunky-looking.WARREN: What?!ANDREW: I pictured something cooler.More ILM, less Ed Wood.WARREN: (gets up angrily) You wanna see cool? I'll show you cool. Warren picks up the device. Jonathan and Andrew look alarmed, backaway. Warren points the device at them for a moment, then turns away, fiddling with the controls.

Andrew stares in awe.JONATHAN: (laughing, toWarren) I'd call that a successful test.WARREN: Well, that's just half the test. Warren begins flipping switches again. The diamond begins to whirl.JONATHAN:Hey! Hey! Andrew leaps for cover and Jonathan pulls his arms and legs up to shield himself as Warren zaps him again. The chair reappears.

The cook motions to the line above the stove where the pots arehanging.Head Cook: Keep your dirty fingers off my food, d'you understand? Merlin grabs the shirt and a hook on a string drops down in front of his face. He looksup, confused. Sir Gwaine and Sir Percival are peering down at him with eager and mischievous grins. Gwaine puts a finger to his lips and Merlin laughs. Merlinattaches the hook to one of the roasting chickens and pulls on the string. The knights pull it up to them as Merlin exits hastily.Head Cook:Oi![SCENE_BREAK]Castle corridors Merlin weaves through bustling servants. A servant with wine pitchers bumps into him and spills it all over Arthur's newlywashed shirt. Merlin picks up the stained shirt and stares at it.Sir Lancelot: You could try a bit of salt.Merlin: Arthur is going to kill me.Sir Lancelot: Let's see... SirLancelot looks at the shirt.Sir Lancelot: ...You've faced far worse, Merlin.Merlin: He needs it for tonight.Sir Lancelot: I'm sure a man of your talents can think ofsomething. Lancelot lifts his eyebrows knowingly. Lancelot keeps walking and Merlin checks to see no one's looking.Merlin: *spell*Fordwin wamm! Lancelot stopsand turns around. Merlin shows him the clean shirt and Lancelot opens his arms as if to say \"See, that was easy.\" The both continue on theirway.[SCENE_BREAK]Arthur's chambers Arthur's leaning against his desk and writing, as Merlin enters with his clean white shirt.Merlin: You're dressed.Arthur:Yes, Merlin. I'm not an idiot. Arthur turns around to walk behind his desk. He didn't manage to pull his shirt all the way through his belt in the back and his skin isshowing. Merlin sniggers.Merlin: Are you sure about that?Arthur: I beg your pardon?Merlin: It's just that...Arthur: Merlin!Merlin: But you...Arthur: I am trying towrite a speech.Merlin: D' you want help?Arthur: No.Merlin: You won't want this, then? Merlin holds up a scroll and Arthur looks up from his desk.Merlin: ... I spentall night working on it. Arthur takes the scroll and looks over it with exaggerated scepticism.Merlin: ... What do you think? Arthur hands it back to Merlin.Arthur:It needs a polish.Merlin: I'll add it to the list. Arthur tosses the speech he was working on.Arthur: Merlin, there aren't many servants who get the chance to writea prince's speech. Obviously it would be too much for you to say, \"Thank you.\" Merlin stares at Arthur for a moment and walks out with his laundry withoutdeigning reply. Arthur smiles.[SCENE_BREAK]Seas of Meredor Morgana helps Morgause limp out of the cart in the foggy wood.Morgause: The Isle of the Blessed.Morgana helps Morgause to the dock. A ferryman waits for them by a longboat. He holds out his hand. Morgause places a coin in it.Morgause: You know where wewish to go. The sisters huddle in the boat, the ferryman at the helm, as it glides across the sea.[SCENE_BREAK]Uther's chambers Uther's hand shakes badly ashe lowers his goblet to the table in front of his chair. Gwen enters and watches him with a pitying expression before she approaches him.Gwen: You've not eaten,Sire. Sire? Uther doesn't seem to hear her, lost in his own misery. Gwen takes the tray of untouched food and meets Gaius on her way out. She looks at thepotion in Gaius's hand.Gwen: It doesn't seem to make any difference.Gaius: I'm not sure it ever will but at least it gives him peace.Gwen: It's been a year sinceMorgana betrayed him.Gaius: (nods) His heart is broken and his spirit is gone. Are you joining us for the feast tonight?Gwen: I don't think so. I need to stay withthe King.Gaius: You're very good to him, Gwen.Gwen: I don't do it for him; I do it for Arthur.[SCENE_BREAK]Seas of Meredor Morgause and Morgana continueacross the sea with the ferryman.[SCENE_BREAK]Council Chamber Sir Leon and Sir Elyan ride into the square and report to Arthur and the Council.Sir Leon: Thereports are true, Sire. We caught up with Morgana on the Plains of Denaria.Arthur: Was she alone?Sir Elyan: (shakes head) There was someone else.Arthur:Morgause?Sir Elyan: I couldn't be sure.Agravaine: Where was Morgana heading?Sir Leon: The Seas of Meredor.Gaius: Isle of the Blessed. Agravaine steps intothe light.Agravaine: I will send out patrols at first light.Arthur: Thank you, Agravaine.Sir Leon: Sire, you should know her powers have grown. Sir Bertrand andSir Wontague are both dead.Arthur: Keep me informed of any developments. The councilmen exit. Agravaine remains.Arthur: For months, nothing. Whynow?Agravaine: We knew she couldn't stay hidden forever. Today, tomorrow, does it matter? We mustn't live in fear, Arthur. Camelot is strong. If Morgana wereto act, we'd be ready for her.Arthur: You're right, of course. I don't know how I'd've got through these last few months without you. Thank you, Uncle.Agravaine:I made a promise to your mother. I'll always be there for you. Arthur nods with a smile and exits[SCENE_BREAK]Isle of the Blessed (night)[SCREECHING]Wyvernshriek as they fly around the fortress as Morgana's boat continues to the isle.[SCENE_BREAK]Banquet Hall Arthur and Agravaine sit on either side of the king'schair at the feast. Arthur stands and the laughter dies down.Arthur: Samhain... It is the time of the year when we feel closest to the spirits of our ancestors. It isa time to remember those we have lost, and to celebrate their passing.[SCENE_BREAK]Isle of the Blessed - AltarMorgause: Samhain is almost upon us. We musthurry.Morgana: I can't do this.Morgause: Sister... Remember what I've told you. It is the only way. What you are about to do will affect everyone, even you. Butmost importantly, it will bring our enemies to their knees. You must be strong, remember that. Morgause presents Morgana with a dagger.Morgause: ... Do notbe scared. Morgana takes the dagger.Morgause: I am not long for this world. There is nothing left for me here now. Morgause weakly climbs onto the altar stoneand takes Morgana's hand.Morgause: Please, sister, let my parting be my final gift to you. Morgause lies down on the altar.[SCENE_BREAK]Banquet Hall Arthurraises his glass in a toast.Arthur: To the king.

Emrys. Emrys.[JUG CLATTERS]Merlin drops his empty serving pitcher and the whole hall goes quietand stares at him. He swoons. Lancelot rushes to his side. Arthur rolls his eyes. Merlin shivers on the floor.[SCENE_BREAK]Isle of the Blessed - Altar The Cailleachstrokes Morgana's cheek and Morgana wakes. She sits up and sees the cloaked woman standing in front of the rift.Morgana: Who are you?The Cailleach: I am theCailleach, the gatekeeper to the Spirit World. You have torn the veil between the worlds.[SCREAMING]The Cailleach: The Dorocha. They are the voices of thedead, my child, and, like the dead, they are numberless.Morgana looks around in fear.The Cailleach: You are right to be afraid, Morgana. Your enemies will ruethis day and all the destruction it brings, but you must be aware... Tearing the veil between the worlds has created a new world... and you will not walk through italone. The one they call Emrys will walk in your shadow. He is your destiny... and he is your doom... Emrys.[SCENE_BREAK]Merlin's room Lancelot lays Merlin onthe bed.Sir Lancelot: What happened?Gaius: I don't know. I've never felt anyone so cold before.Sir Lancelot: Will he be all right?Gaius: I'll need Hawthorne toimprove the blood flow... and blankets... lots of blankets.[SCENE_BREAK]Gaius's chambers Gaius is grinding something as Merlin steps out of his chamberwearing a blanket. They sit together.Merlin: When she spoke, her voice...it was as though it came from the depths of the Earth, and her eyes...they were so sad.So much pain in them. (He's shivering) Who is she?Gaius: The Cailleach... the gatekeeper to the Spirit World.Merlin: Why is she there?Gaius: It was on the strokeof midnight of Samhain's eve. The moment when the veil between the worlds is at its thinnest. It cannot be a coincidence.Merlin: Why was I the only one to seeher?Gaius: You have great power, Merlin. For someone so gifted, such visions are not uncommon.Merlin: But you don't understand. It wasn't a vision. She knewwho I was. She called me Emrys. Gaius ponders.Merlin: What is it? What does it mean?Gaius: I'm not sure. But if someone has torn the veil between the worlds,then God help us all.[SCENE_BREAK]Arthur's chambers (morning) Merlin brings in a breakfast tray and sets it noisily on the table while Arthur's still inbed.Arthur: Merlin!

The Starks have manned the Wall for thousands of years.And you area Stark.Daenerys Targaryen has wed some Dothraki horselord. What of it? Tell me we're not speaking of this. I'll kill every Targaryen I get my hands on. Rapers.Not impressed by your new brothers?Lovely thing about the watch ...You discard your old family and get a whole new one. Welcome. I don't think Bran fell fromthat tower. I think he was thrown. No! Someone tried to kill him twice. I would stake my life the Lannisters are involved. Lord Stark must be told of this.I will gomyself.What is the meaning of this?Joff told us what happened.You and that boy beat him with clubs while you set your wolf on him.That's not whathappened!Ahh! We found no trace of the direwolf, Your Grace. We have another wolf. As you will. He doesn't mean Lady, does he? Lady didn't bite anyone! She'sgood!King's Landing Page : Welcome, Lord Stark. Grand Maester Pycelle has called a meeting of the Small Council. The honor of your presence isrequested.Eddard Stark : Get the girls settled in. I'll be back in time for supper. And, Jory, you go with them.Jory Cassel : Yes, my Lord.King's Landing Page : Ifyou'd like to change into something more appropriate...Jaime Lannister : Thank the gods you're here, Stark. About time we had some stern northernleadership.Eddard Stark : Glad to see you're protecting the throne.Jaime Lannister : Sturdy old thing. How many kings' asses have polished it, I wonder ? What'sthe line ? The King sh1ts and the Hand wipes.Eddard Stark : Very handsome armor. Not a scratch on it.Jaime Lannister : I know. People have been swinging atme for years, but they always seem to miss.Eddard Stark : You've chosen your opponents wisely then.Jaime Lannister : I have a knack for it. It must be strangefor you coming into this room. I was standing right here when it happened. He was very brave, your brother. Your father too. They didn't deserve to die like that.Nobody deserves to die like that.Eddard Stark : But you just stood there and watched.Jaime Lannister : 500 men just stood there and watched. All the greatknights of the Seven Kingdoms. You think anyone said a word, lifted a finger ? No, Lord Stark. 500 men and this room was silent as a crypt. Except for thescreams, of course, and the Mad King laughing. And later... When I watched the Mad King die, I remembered him laughing as your father burned... It felt likejustice.Eddard Stark : Is that what you tell yourself at night ? You're a servant of justice ? That you were avenging my father when you shoved your sword inAerys Targaryen's back ?Jaime Lannister : Tell me... If I'd stabbed the Mad King in the belly instead of the back, would you admire me more ?Eddard Stark : Youserved him well when serving was safe.Varys : Lord Stark.Eddard Stark : Lord Varys.Varys : I was grievously sorry to hear of your troubles on the Kingsroad. Weare all praying for Prince Joffrey's full recovery.Eddard Stark : A shame you didn't say a prayer for the butcher's son. Renly ! You're looking well.Renly Baratheon :And you look tired from the road. I told them this meeting could wait another day, but...Petyr Baelish : But we have a Kingdom to look after. I've hoped to meetyou for some time, Lord Stark. No doubt Lady Catelyn has mentioned me.Eddard Stark : She has, Lord Baelish. I understand you knew my brother Brandon aswell.Petyr Baelish : All too well. I still carry a token of his esteem from navel to collarbone.Eddard Stark : Perhaps you chose the wrong man to duel with.PetyrBaelish : It wasn't the man that I chose, my Lord. It was Catelyn Tully. A woman worth fighting for, I'm sure you'll agree.Grand Maester Pycelle : I humbly begyour pardon, my Lord Stark.Eddard Stark : Grand Maester.Grand Maester Pycelle : How many years has it been ? You were a young man.Eddard Stark : And youserved another King.Grand Maester Pycelle : How forgetful of me. This belongs to you, now. Should we begin ?Eddard Stark : Without the King ?Renly Baratheon: Winter may be coming, but I'm afraid the same cannot be said for my brother.Varys : His Grace has many cares. He entrusts some small matters to us that wemight lighten the load.Petyr Baelish : We are the lords of small matters here.Renly Baratheon : My brother instructs us to stage a tournament in honor of LordStark's appointment as Hand of the King.Petyr Baelish : Mmm, how much ?Eddard Stark : 40 000 gold dragons to the champion, 20 000 to the runner-up, 20 000to the winning archer.Grand Maester Pycelle : Can the treasury bear such expense ?Petyr Baelish : I'll have to borrow it. The Lannisters will accommodate, Iexpect. We already owe Lord Tywin 3 million gold. What's another 80 000 ?Eddard Stark : Are you telling me the Crown is three million in debt ?Petyr Baelish :I'm telling you the Crown is six million in debt.Eddard Stark : How could you let this happen ?Petyr Baelish : The Master of Coin finds the money. The King andthe Hand spend it.Eddard Stark : I will not believe Jon Arryn allowed Robert to bankrupt the realm.Grand Maester Pycelle : Lord Arryn gave wise and prudentadvice, but I fear His Grace doesn't always listen.Renly Baratheon : \"Counting coppers,\" he calls it.Eddard Stark : I'll speak to him tomorrow. This tournament isan extravagance we cannot afford.Petyr Baelish : As you will. But still, we'd best make our plans.Eddard Stark : There will be no plans until I speak to Robert.Forgive me, my Lords. I had a long ride.Varys : You are the King's Hand, Lord Stark, we serve at your pleasure.Cersei Baratheon : Please, it's nearlyhealed.Joffrey Baratheon : It's ugly.Cersei Baratheon : A King should have scars, you fought off a direwolf. You're a warrior like your father.Joffrey Baratheon :I'm not like him. I didn't fight off anything. It bit me and all I did was scream. And the two Stark girls saw it, both of them.Cersei Baratheon : That's not true. Youkilled the beast. You only spared the girl because of the love your father bears her father. When Aerys Targaryen sat on the Iron Throne, your father was a rebeland a traitor. Someday you'll sit on the throne and the truth will be what you make it.Joffrey Baratheon : Do I have to marry her ?Cersei Baratheon : Yes. She'svery beautiful and young. If you don't like her, you only need to see her on formal occasions and when the time comes, to make little princes and princesses. Andif you'd rather f*ck painted whores, you'll f*ck painted whores. And if you'd rather lie with noble virgins, so be it. You are my darling boy and the world will beexactly as you want it to be. Do something nice for the Stark girl.Joffrey Baratheon : I don't want to.Cersei Baratheon : No, but you will. The occasional kindnesswill spare you all sorts of trouble down the road.Joffrey Baratheon : We allow the northerners too much power. They consider themselves our equals.CerseiBaratheon : How would you handle them ?Joffrey Baratheon : I'd double their taxes and command them to supply 10 000 men to the royal army.CerseiBaratheon : A royal army ?Joffrey Baratheon : Why should every lord command his own men ? It's primitive, no better than the hill tribes. We should have astanding army of men loyal to the Crown, trained by experienced soldiers... Instead of a mob of peasants who've never held pikes in their lives.Cersei Baratheon :And if the northerners rebel ?Joffrey Baratheon : I'd crush them. Seize Winterfell and install someone loyal to the realm as Warden of the North. Uncle Kevan,maybe.Cersei Baratheon : And these 10 000 northern troops, would they fight for you or their lord ?Joffrey Baratheon : For me. I'm their King.Cersei Baratheon :But you've just invaded their homeland, asked them to kill their brothers.Joffrey Baratheon : I'm not asking.Cersei Baratheon : The North cannot be held... not byan outsider. It's too big and too wild. When the winter comes, the Seven gods together couldn't save you and your royal army. A good King knows when to savehis strength... And when to destroy his enemies.Joffrey Baratheon : So you agree... The Starks are enemies ?Cersei Baratheon : Everyone who isn't us is anenemy.Septa Mordane : Enough of that, young lady. Eat your food.Arya Stark : I'm practicing.Sansa Stark : Practicing for what ?Arya Stark : The Prince.SeptaMordane : Arya, stop !Arya Stark : He's a liar and a coward and he killed my friend.Sansa Stark : The Hound killed your friend.Arya Stark : The Hound doeswhatever the Prince tells him to do.Sansa Stark : You're an idiot.Arya Stark : You're a liar. And if you told the truth, Mycah would be alive.Septa Mordane :Enough !Eddard Stark : What's happening here ?Septa Mordane : Arya would rather act like a beast than a lady.Eddard Stark : Go to your room. We'll speaklater. That's for you, love. The same dollmaker makes all of Princess Myrcella's toys. Don't you like it ?Sansa Stark : I haven't played with dolls since I was eight.May I be excused ?Septa Mordane : You've barely eaten a thing.Eddard Stark : It's all right. Go on. War was easier than daughters.Arya Stark : Go away !EddardStark : Arya, open the door. May I come in ? Whose sword is that ?Arya Stark : Mine.Eddard Stark : Give it to me. I know this maker's mark. This is Mikken'swork. Where did you get this ? This is no toy. Little ladies shouldn't play with swords.Arya Stark : I wasn't playing. And I don't want to be a lady.Eddard Stark :Come here. Now what do you want with this ?Arya Stark : It's called Needle.Eddard Stark : A blade with a name. And who were you hoping to skewer with Needle? Your sister ? Do you know the first thing about sword fighting ?Arya Stark : Stick 'em with the pointy end.Eddard Stark : That's the essence of it.Arya Stark : Iwas trying to learn. I asked Mycah to practice with me. I asked him. It was my fault.Eddard Stark : No, sweet girl. You didn't kill the butcher's boy.Arya Stark : Ihate them ! I hate all of them. The Hound, the Queen and the King and Joffrey and Sansa.Eddard Stark : Sansa was dragged before the King and Queen... Andasked to call the Prince a liar.Arya Stark : So was I ! He is a liar.Eddard Stark : Darling, listen to me. Sansa will be married to Joffrey someday. She cannot betrayhim. She must take his side even when he's wrong.Arya Stark : But how you can let her marry someone like that ?Eddard Stark : Look at me. You're a Stark ofWinterfell. You know our words.Arya Stark : Winter is coming.Eddard Stark : You were born in the long summer. You've never known anything else. But nowwinter is truly coming. And in the winter, we must protect ourselves, look after one another. Sansa is your sister.Arya Stark : I don't hate her. Not really.EddardStark : I don't want to frighten you, but I won't lie to you either. We've come to a dangerous place. We cannot fight a war amongst ourselves. All right ? Go on.It's yours.Arya Stark : I can keep it ?Eddard Stark : Try not to stab your sister with it. If you're going to own a sword, you'd better know how to use it.Old Nan :Don't listen to it. Crows are all liars. I know a story about a crow.Bran Stark : I hate your stories.Old Nan : I know a story about a boy who hated stories. I could"}

Pan across room to Lauren on telephone.Lauren: I'll call you back. She hangs up telephone and falls into step with Lindsey.Lindsey: Dixonspoken with the DCI?Lauren: Yes.Lindsey: Good. I want to make sure we have access to all computer accounts, emails, and correspondence seen in this office inthe last two years.Lauren: Yes, sir. I've already put a request in through Langley.Lindsey: Who'd you talk to over there?Lauren: Brandon. I'm on it. Lauren andLinsdey enter Dixon's office. Dixon stands behind his desk. Vaughn and Weiss stand in front of it. All turn toward Lindsey and Lauren as they enter.Lindsey: Iunderstand the Director of Intelligence has already conveyed his desire to transfer authority over this task force from your agency to mine. I expect you tocooperate fully.Cut to Vaughn giving Lauren a really upset \u0000How could you do this!?' look.Dixon (voiceover): No. Not exactly.Cut to Lauren giving Vaughn astubborn look and then addressing her eyes toward Dixon.Dixon: I explained to my superiors that the decision was mine to withhold information from the NSCregarding Sydney Bristow's involvement in the Lazarey murder.Cut to Vaughn and Weiss as they turn to assess Lindsey and Lauren's reaction to this news.Dixon:And that the members of my staff in question were acting working under direct orders from me.Lindsey: I see.Dixon: My staff will remain on active duty andcooperate in any investigationLindsey: They're not your staff, Mr. Dixon. Not anymore.Cut to Dixon's defiant stone face.Lindsey (voiceover): I'm pulling yourclearance until further notice.Dixon: Mr. Lindsey, I would expect nothing less from you.Lindsey: One of my men will escort you to a facility for questioning.Cut toDixon. He removes his badge and places it in a small manila envelope on his desk and walks toward Lindsey, anticipating his next statement:Lindsey: In themeantime, you'll need to surrender all credentials and access cards Dixon hands Lindsey the envelope and walks out of the room, taking the steam out ofLindsey's sails in his speech. Vaughn gives Lauren another dirty look. She still looks defiantly back, her arms crossed. Lindsey moves to stand behind Dixon's deskto address Vaughn and Weiss.Lindsey: Well, of course, you'll be questioned as well. Let's not make this any harder than it has to be.Vaughn: It's too late for that.Vaughn turns to leave saying to Lauren as he walks out:Vaughn: I need to talk to you right nowCut to Lauren and Vaughn walking down a hallway. Vaughn is infront and Lauren is walking behind him, trying to catch up.Lauren: Before you start, know that I did what I thought was right, given the information that I Vaughnturns back toward her and gets right in Lauren's face, obviously agitated.Vaughn: Sydney is in Lindsey's custody because of you!Lauren: The Lazarey murder wasmy assignment! Sydney murdered a Russian diplomat!Vaughn: Okay, stop! Don't act like this is your first day on the job!Lauren: Sydney is in NSC custody not!Vaughn (cutting her off): No, she is in Lindsey's custody.Lauren: You think Lindsey's unaccountable!?Vaughn: Lauren, his operation is funded by black money.What the White House expects from him is resultsLauren: What you're suggesting is that I willfully participate in an orchestrated cover up!Vaughn: No, but Iwould have hoped you'd be a person about this!Lauren: While you clearly underestimate not only my ability to do my job but also, apparently, my humanity, youshould know that not only do I believe I did the right thing, but the more you talk, the more suspicious I get! (beat) You're the one who got her out of thecountry, aren't you?Cut to Vaughn. He doesn't answer, but she reads it on his face. Lauren (not as angry, more worried for Vaughn): Do you know what wouldhappen to you if it becomes known that you helped a fugitive evade the Federal Government?Vaughn (very snarky): I'm not concerned about myself right nowLauren sighs and looks down before looking back up with a bit of new defiance.Lauren: If what you're suggesting is right, that to learn what happened to Sydneyover the past two years Robert Lindsey intends to have surgery performed on her which will render her brain dead why would he have me write the White Housebrief? Vaughn looks shocked and worried by this new development.Vaughn: What!? Lauren (more confident she's right now): He's asked me to go with him as anobserver of Sydney's interrogation. This information disturbs Vaughn. Instead of being relieved, it's clear he's more worried.Lauren (voiceover): Clearly, he's gotnothing to hide Vaughn looks up to meet her eyes. It's clear he's disbelieving of her outlook on the matter.Lauren: Michael for whatever reason, you'reoverreacting to this.Cut to Vaughn. He's got that stubborn, annoyed face back in full force.Lauren: I don't know how long I'll be gone So I guess I'll see youLauren turns and walks away. Stay on Vaughn's face, worried, annoyed, determined. Cut to slo-mo of Jack walking across a hallway entrance leading to the mainrotunda. He's staring intently at someone. He stops walking. Cut to Lindsey leaning over another agent at a desk. Pan to closeup of Lindsey's face as he realizessomeone's eyes are upon him. He looks up and makes eye contact with Jack. They stare each other down for a long moment. Jack's stare is cold, and downrightscary it says something akin to \u0000You mess with my daughter and I will kill you \u0000 Lindsey tries his best to stare back, but just hint of apprehension is in hisexpression. Jack coldly dismisses him, turns his head and walks away.Cut to Jack walking down the hallway. Vaughn hurries behind him to catch up tohim.Vaughn: Jack, I wanna be a part of it. Vaughn falls into step with Jack. Jack (with a hint of his classic sarcasm): If I knew what you were talking about, I'drefuse anyway.Vaughn: Come on I've thought of a half dozen scenarios to help Sydney Lindsey has to be shut down! He Jack suddenly stops and turns towardVaughn.Vaughn: Did your scenarios take into account that helping Sydney at this point will require breaking at least a dozen federal laws?Vaughn (in an intensehalf-whisper): Just the fact that you're telling me this means you have something planned! Damn it, let me help!Cut to Jack. He looks like he's undecided as towhether to accept Vaughn's offer. Cut back to Vaughn, looking more determined than ever.Vaughn (still intense): If anything happens to Sydney (he shakes hishead) Jack stares at Vaughn for a second, blinks, and then says:Jack: Meet me in the parking garage in three minutes. Vaughn nods slightly as Jack walksaway.Cut to pan up of Sydney's cell. She's walking around, feeling for any crack, indent, anything she might be able to use to eventually escape. Another prisonerwho can see her from his cell 90 degrees addresses her.Prisoner: Whatcha doin'? Sydney looks up at him, surprised.Prisoner: Were you lookin' for somethin'?Sydney stares at him for a moment. She's wary of him.Sydney: Maybe The prisoner crawls to the end of his bed to speak at her through the bars of hiscell.Prisoner (whispering): Hey if you find any I'll have some. If it's candy God, I'd love candy. Sydney looks at him almost pityingly for a moment and then givesa hint of a smile.Prisoner: I'm Campbell.Sydney: Sydney. She smiles again. Campbell seems like he's a bit slow, or else is so broken from torture that he'sbecome almost childlike.Campbell: Syd ney (as if trying out the sound of it) Campbell crawls along the bars to stand close to her.Campbell: Hey Hey Don't leave,okay? Please? Been a long time without someone to talk to Sydney just looks at him.Cut to an overpass over a drainage canal. Pan to Jack and Vaughn on theside of a road.Vaughn: So this contact we're meeting Former NSC? Jack gives Vaughn a sideways glance, his arms crossed.Jack: No. He turns to look at Vaughnand then back at the road.Vaughn: How are they gonna help us locate Sydney? Jack looks back at Vaughn.Jack: We're waiting for Sloane. Vaughn's surprised anda bit annoyed by this news. He crosses his arms across his chest.Vaughn: You called Sloane on this!? Jack doesn't answer, he just turns to look down the road. Sodoes Vaughn. Cut to a black sedan driving toward them. Cut back to Jack and Vaughn.Jack: You and I will be the prime suspects behind any intent to free Sydneyfrom NSC custody. Sloane has agreed to make it seem as if it were the work of the Covenant. Do I trust him on this? Not necessarily. They both turn towardSloane's car as he gets out and walks toward them, hands in his pockets.Sloane: Gentlemen. According to my sources, Sydney is being held at Camp Williams.Off Jack's reaction, we cut to Vaughn.Vaughn: Camp Williams is a Naval training facility, why would Lindsey take her there?Jack: Because it's home to anunacknowledged NSC detention center used for the interrogation of suspected terrorists whose captivity the government won't admit to.Sloane: So to help her,we'll need a tactical team. At least eight men, transportation, weapons, specialized backup I would suggest Brill.Jack: I thought he was in Freetown?Sloane: Ohno, not since the government fell. If he's available, Domier would know.Jack: We'll need to get a hold of blueprints to Camp Williams Vaughn (cutting in, bothmen turn to look at him): The FEMA Central Office downtown. They should have a set of blueprints on file.Jack (impressed): Good. We'll prep infiltration into theFEMA building. Meet back here in three hours.Cut to Sloane. He suddenly looks amused by something.Sloane: I told you, Jack We'd work together again. Thisstatement seems to really burn Jack. He gives Sloane a look of death, and walks away, Vaughn following him. Pan over to Sloane, still amused.Cut to a hallway inCamp Williams. Pan to Sydney, being rolled along on a stretcher, bound hand and foot. Cut to another helicopter flying towards Camp Williams. Cut to Lindseyand Lauren inside the copter. Lindsey looks out the window, Lauren surveys Lindsey as if trying to figure out which version of this man is the real truth, hers orVaughn's.Lindsey: Just so we're clear It's in all our best interests to make sure that no one on the Hill questions our ethics, Lauren. That's why I'm counting onyou to write a thorough report chronicling our investigation to date, and our fair treatment of Sydney Bristow. Understood? Lauren stares at him.Cut to Sydneybeing wheeled into what appears to be a cross between an emergency room and a torture chamber. Cut to the \u0000doctor' who looks decidedly creepy. The guards"}

For example, why wasn't William Shatner in the new Star Trek movie?Leonard: Hey, Sheldon, I was up in the administration office, andI happened to overhear the name of the winner of this year's Chancellor's Award for Science.Sheldon: And you want to rub my nose in the fact that mycontributions are being overlooked again? I am the William Shatner of theoretical physics. All right, I'll play. What self-important, preening fraud are theyhonouring this year?Leonard: Oh, I'm so glad you asked it like that. You.Sheldon: I won?Leonard: You won.Sheldon: I won! This is astonishing. Not that I won theaward, no one deserves it more. Actually, I guess I misspoke. It's not astonishing, more like inevitable. I'm not sure what to do first. Maybe I should call mymother. Wait! I know, I'm going to conduct an interview with myself and post it online.Raj: Well, good for him.Howard: Yeah, the one thing the William Shatner oftheoretical physics needed was an ego boost. Credits sequenceScene: The apartment. The guys are watching Avatar in 3D. All are wearing 3D glasses exceptRaj.Howard: Didn't it look like that spear was going to go right through your skull?Raj: No.Leonard: Hey, you didn't want a Slurpee at 7-Eleven, you don't getglasses.Sheldon (phone rings): Oh, that will be another congratulatory call for me. Uh, mute, please.Howard: Uh, hang on, flaming arrow.Sheldon: Hello? Oh,Chancellor Morton, how are you, sir? Yes, I was expecting your call (aside) three years ago. I see. Wait. What happens if I choose not to give a speech? Uh-huh.And if I don't want to forfeit the award? Well, you've got that tied up in a neat little bow. All right. Thank you. (Hangs up) Problem.Leonard: What?Sheldon: Theyexpect me to give a speech at the banquet. I can't give a speech.Howard: Well, no, you're mistaken. You give speeches all the time. What you can't do is shutup.Raj: Yeah, before the movie, you did 20 minutes on why guacamole turns brown. It turned brown while you were talking.Sheldon: I am perfectly comfortablespeaking to small groups. I cannot speak to large crowds.Leonard: What, to you, is a large crowd?Sheldon: Any group big enough to trample me to death.General rule of thumb is 36 adults or 70 children.Penny: Sheldon, congratulations. Brought you cheesecake from work. You know, 'cause of your award, notbecause a busboy sneezed on it.Sheldon: I'm not accepting the award.Penny: Why not?Howard: Turns out the great Sheldon Cooper has stage fright.Penny:That's no reason to back out. You know, I once got a pretty big honour in high school, and I was terrified about appearing in front of a big crowd, but I wentthrough with it, and you know what? The world looked pretty darn good sitting on a haystack in the back of a Ford F-150 as a member of the Corn Queen'scourt.Sheldon: Thank you. Yeah, I'll bear that in mind if I'm ever nominated for the Hillbilly Peace Prize.Leonard: Sheldon, you're being ridiculous.Sheldon: Am I?Let me tell you a story.Howard: Where's 70 children when you need 'em?Sheldon: I was 14 and graduating summa cum laude from college. Summa cum laude isLatin for with highest honours.Penny: I just love how you always skip over the part where no one asks.Sheldon: I was valedictorian and expected to give anaddress. Even now, I can remember that moment when I walked up to the podium and looked out at the crowd. There must have been thousands of people. Myheart started pounding in my chest. I began to hyperventilate. My vision became blurry, and before I knew it... oh, dear. (He faints.)Penny: Oh, my God.Leonard:Sheldon? Sheldon, are you okay?Sheldon: Don't trample me.Scene: The stairwell. Sheldon is on the phone.Sheldon: Come on, Mother, you know why I can'taccept the award. With all due respect, I don't think praying will help. No, I have not heard the song, Jesus, Take the Wheel. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, you don'tneed to start singing it. Yes, I'll buy it on the iTunes, Mother. Good-bye, Mother. (Enters apartment. The others are sitting as if waiting for him.) Hello.Leonard:Sit down, we want to talk to you.Sheldon: Am I in trouble? Did my mother call you?Penny: Just sit.Leonard: We think we can help you with your stagefright.Sheldon: Oh, I doubt that. I haven't figured out a way, and I'm much smarter than all of you.Penny: Yes, but you're not smarter than all of us puttogether.Sheldon: Oh, I'm sorry, that is what I meant.Penny: Okay, your problem is, you're trying to do this all by yourself.Leonard: We can help you. We can beyour team. Like, uh, Professor Xavier and his X-Men.Sheldon: I do like the X-Men.Penny: Did I see X-Men?Leonard: Yeah, we watched it last week. You said youliked it.Penny: Oh. I say a lot of things, sweetie. So, how about it, Sheldon?Sheldon: I don't know. If you're my X-Men, what are your powers?Penny: Okay. Well,I am going to take you shopping, get you a nice suit. Might give you more confidence.Sheldon: That's not exactly a mutation that would get you into Xavier'sSchool for Gifted Youngsters, but go on. Leonard?Leonard: I thought I could try to analyze you and get to the root of your anxiety.Sheldon: What qualifies you toattempt to understand my mind?Leonard: My mother is a highly regarded psychiatrist, and I've been in therapy ever since she accused me of breast-feedingco-dependently.Howard: Raj says he can teach you, what did you call it? I don't know, some Indian meditation crap.Sheldon: I see. Well, I assume, since the restof you have set the bar so low, you're saving the most impressive contribution for last. Go ahead, Howard. Dazzle me.Howard: My power is the ability to pretendlike I give a damn about your piddly-ass problems. And that's 24-7, buddy.Sheldon: And I appreciate the pretence.Penny: So, what do you say, Sheldon? Are weyour X-Men?Sheldon: No. The X-Men were named for the X in Charles Xavier. Since I am Sheldon Cooper, you will be my C-Men.Howard: Oh, that's not a goodname.Scene: The apartment. Raj is lighting candles. Indian music is playing.Raj: Okay, Sheldon. I'm going to be leading you through a series of meditationexercises. These methods come from the ancient gurus of India and have helped me overcome my own fears.Sheldon: And yet, you can't speak to women.Raj:True, but thanks to meditation, I am able to stay in the same room with them without urinating. Now, close your eyes.Sheldon: Okay, but don't punch me.Raj:What?Sheldon: When I was little, my sister would say to me, close your eyes, you'll get a surprise, and then she'd punch me.Raj: I'm not going to punchyou.Sheldon: That's what my sister used to say.Raj: Do you want to do this or not?Sheldon: I'm sorry. Proceed.Raj: All right. Imagine yourself in the one placeyou feel most at home. Where is that?Sheldon: Sim City. More specifically, the Sim City I designed, Sheldonopolis.Raj: Okay, you're in Sheldonopolis.Sheldon:Where exactly? Sheldon Square? Sheldon Towers? Sheldon Stadium, home of the Fighting Sheldons?Raj: Whatever you like.Sheldon: I thought this was supposedto be a guided meditation.Raj: Fine. You're in Sheldon Square.Sheldon: Really? This time of year? It's a bit nippy.Raj: Then, put on a sweater.Sheldon: Suppose Icould run downtown and pick up something at Shel-Mart.Raj: Yeah, whatever. Just go buy a sweater.Sheldon: You know, the nice thing about Shel-Mart is I ownit, so I get a 15% discount.Raj: You own the damn thing. Just take a freaking sweater!Sheldon: Look, I didn't turn a profit last quarter by taking product off theshelves willy-nilly.Raj: All right. You've paid for a sweater, and you're in Sheldon Square.Sheldon: Hang on. It's a cardigan. I have to button it. Oh, no.Raj: Whatnow?Sheldon: A Godzilla-like monster is approaching the city. I have to get my people to safety. People of Sheldonopolis, this is your mayor. Follow me. If thechildren can't run, leave them behind. Oh, the simulated horror! (Sound of door slamming) Raj? Just as I suspected. Meditation is nothing buthokum.[SCENE_BREAK]Scene: A clothing store.Sheldon: I question your premise. How is a new suit going to prevent me from passing out in front of a ballroomfull of people?Penny: It'll give you confidence. You know, sometimes when I'm feeling all stressed out about something, I go out and buy a cute top or a fun skirtand I have a whole new outlook on life.Sheldon: Don't you eventually realize you're just the same stressed out person in a cute top or a fun skirt?Penny: Yeah,that's when I buy shoes. Now, let's see what we've got. Ooh! This is nice.Sheldon: It's only one colour.Penny: Yeah, so?Sheldon: That's a lot of money for onlyone colour.Penny: Fine. Why don't you pick out what you like.Sheldon: Hmm. (Cut to Sheldon exiting changing room in a loud check suit). This is prettysharp.Penny: No, you're wrong. Sheldon (now in a sparkly green suit with rhinestones): This is great. I had a suit like this when I was six. (Cut to Sheldon exitingin a white dinner suit with tails) Okay, I think we have a winner.Penny: Where the hell d'you find that?Sheldon: In the prom department.Penny: It'sridiculous.Sheldon: Says the former member of the Corn Queen's Court.Penny: Please just try this one on.Sheldon: Okay. But anything I put on now is only goingto suffer in comparison. (Goes into changing room. Comes out in black suit looking terrific.) This is absurd. I look like a clown.Scene: The apartment.Leonard: So,Sheldon, how you doing?Sheldon: That's how you start a psychotherapy session? How am I doing? I was promised a riverboat journey into the jungles of mysubconscious. Instead, I get the same question I hear from the lady who slices my bologna at Ralph's.Leonard: I'm sorry, I'll start again.Sheldon: Would it behelpful to you if I told you about my dreams?Leonard: Um, I don't know, maybe.Sheldon: I recently had a dream that I was a giant. But everything around mewas to scale, so it all looked normal.Leonard: How did you know you were a giant if everything was to scale?Sheldon: I was wearing size a million pants.Leonard:Why don't we just talk?Sheldon: Ah, the talking cure. Classical Freudian, good choice. If it will help speed things along, uh, my answers to the standard Rorschachink blot test are A, a bat, B, a bat, C, a bat, and D, my father killing my mother with a hypodermic needle.Leonard: Why don't I just start? Sometimes peoplehave trouble accepting accolades if, on a subconscious level, they don't feel they deserve them. Do you think maybe that's what's happening here?Sheldon:Really, Leonard? You're just going to try to recycle Adler's doctrine of the inferiority complex? I could probably get that from the woman at Ralph's. And she'd letme taste some pieces of cheese for free.Leonard: But it could be part of your problem. Let me give you an example.

And afterwards we'll take care of him.(LEON clicks his fingers, and the SOLDIERS grab him and drag him against a pillar with iron rings set into it.They secure his wrists with heavy chains, which they attach to the rings. IAN struggles as they do so.)IAN: You never know who your friends are!LEON: Myassociation with Jules was bound to come to an end.

The SOLDIER standing by him laughs.)SOLDIER: Getting impatient, are we? That's a good sign. Citizen Colbert really knows how to make pigs like youtalk. He leaves 'em alone, makes them think. Now me, I have other ways.(He raises the butt of his musket, ready to hit IAN in the face, but is interrupted by acall from the entrance to the crypt.)LEON: Stop that!... I'm sorry - I'm afraid my men are very bad-tempered. Ian, I don't want anything to happen to you really,but I think you have the information that will help the cause I believe in.IAN: You're wasting your time with me. I'm very small fry.LEON: Surely you don't expectme to believe that? Well, we learned of the existence of James Stirling two months ago. We've been searching for him ever since.IAN: We?LEON: Yes. I've beenloyal to the Revolution from the beginning. If you'd known what France was like six years ago, before the Bastille, you'd understand.IAN: I do understand, but Ican't help you.LEON: Or you won't! France will never be anything until we're rid of these high-born leeches who've been sucking the life-blood of France for solong.IAN: You must believe me, I can help you in no way...LEON: Ian! You can save yourself a lot of trouble and suffering by talking. This is your only chance! Doyou realise that when I've finished with you I'll transfer you to the prison, and then the guillotine? Now if you were to talk, I have the power to set you free!IAN:Jules must have told you all I know.LEON: Ah yes, what did Jules say? That Webster gave you a message to give to Stirling.IAN: Yes, that's right. Only I can'trecognise Stirling - that's why I'm here.LEON: Oh, that I accept. But you must have known of their organisation. You were in it with Webster! He would neverhave trusted you otherwise. Now. Who sent you from England? How did you get here, and who helped you?IAN: (Sighs.) What's the use?LEON: I really don'tunderstand what you hope to gain! If I don't get the information from you, I shall find it elsewhere! Now be sensible. Save yourself from the guillotine.IAN: Youwouldn't believe my story anyway.LEON: Suppose you let me be the judge of that. How did you get to France?IAN: You really want to know, eh?LEON: Thetruth?IAN: Oh yes, it's the truth all right.LEON: You swear it?IAN: Yes, I swear it! I flew here with three friends in a small box. When I left England it was1963.(LEON steps back, furious, and signals to the nearer SOLDIER, who strides forward, musket and bayonet pointed towards IAN. IAN braces himself for theblow, then hears a yell from the entrance.)JULES: All right, Leon! Release him!(JULES is standing in the entrance, a pistol pointed at LEON's back. The secondSOLDIER swings his musket around, but JULES is faster and shoots him dead. LEON reaches for his pistols, but JULES hurls his now spent weapon at LEON's face.LEON falls back with a cry, dropping his guns. The SOLDIER by IAN has cocked his musket and swings it round to aim at the now unarmed JULES. IAN gathers hisstrength, hauls himself up by his wrist chains, and kicks the SOLDIER on the side of the head - he falls. LEON recovers and grabs his pistols; IAN shouts awarning.)IAN: Jules!(JULES grabs the falling SOLDIER whom IAN has just kicked, and hold him up as a shield, just as LEON fired. The two bullets ring outsimultaneously, and both hit the SOLDIER. As JULES drops the lifeless body, LEON steps back towards the discarded musket. JULES watches as he steps nearer,then casually reaches into his coat and draws a second pistol.)JULES: You traitor! It's you who's the enemy of the people!(LEON makes a desperate lunge for themusket, but JULES fires first. LEON collapses, dead. JULES turns to free IAN.)IAN: I thought I was going mad when I saw you here! Why did you come?JULES:Bad news for you.IAN: Oh?JULES: Barbara and Susan were arrested at the physician.(JULES fiddles with the iron rings, and IAN pulls his wrists clear.)IAN: Yes, Ifeared that as soon as Leon turned up here. We must get to them.JULES: I think it's best to go back to my hide-out.IAN: What? The soldiers will be therealready!JULES: Well, if I know Leon, he will have wanted the satisfaction of arresting me himself. And anyway, we'll just have to risk it. Come"}

You've had a lot longer to make sense of this than I have.JACK: There was a time when this was news to me, too. Your mother wassent to the United States to steal secrets from a ranking officer of the C.I.A. How she and I happened to meet, how she supposedly fell in love, I thought it was alltrue. But it was just a set-up.SYDNEY: Even her wanting to have a family? Was that just part of the plan, too?(Jack doesn't say anything. Sydney leaves.)(In herhouse, Sydney looks through her hat box full of pictures and memories. She sees the newspaper article about her mother and the FBI agent dying in the caraccident. Takes out a framed picture. She finally finds the picture of Sydney as a little girl and her mother.)SYDNEY: (voice over) There's something that happenswhen you discover the truth about someone. I know a little about this.(She wads up the picture in a little ball.)SYDNEY: (voice over) The truth changeseverything.(She throws it in the fire.)(In the self-storage facility, Sydney talks to Vaughn.)SYDNEY: There's this woman, her personality like a collage I've puttlogether from the photographs, the few memories I have, scraps of stories I've heard, the clothes of hers I've got... her books. And none of it's real. She wasn'tthat woman at all. She was... she was a horrible person... who killed your father.(She stands in front of him, crying.)SYDNEY: Vaughn, I just wanted to say... thatI'm so sorry.(He hugs her and cradles her head against his shoulder while she cries.)(Credit Dauphine parking garage. A van with 'McTiernan Air Conditioning'written on the side drives up. The driver stops at the security gate and wires it up to a machine he has that unlocks the gate. The gate doors open and the vangoes inside.

I'll check it out.AGENT2:Hey, while you're at it, grab me a black coffee, will you? Two sugars.(Agent1 leaves.)(In the parking garage, McTiernan gang starts welding off the air vent.Inside the van, the rest of the goons start packing their guns and loading them. Agent1 walks in the garage and sees the van. He talks on his transmitter to hisbuddy from control.)AGENT1: You know about any AC repairs?AGENT2: Negative.(The goons have already started to make their way inside the building using theair conditioning vents. Agent1 pulls his gun out. Near the van, one of the goons comes behind him and hits him over the head. Agent1 falls to the ground.)(Backin the self-storage facility.)SYDNEY: I don't want this job anymore.VAUGHN: Sydney, that's why you're doing what you do. You're helping to bring an end toSD-6.SYDNEY: Not anymore.VAUGHN: Sydney--SYDNEY: I need someone in my life to be real.VAUGHN: This right here. What we do is real.SYDNEY: Look wherewe are. I mean, this isn't real. This isn't what we should be doing. I want out.VAUGHN: Out?(Sydney nods.)VAUGHN: You want to enter the protectionprogram.SYDNEY: No. I'm not going into hiding.VAUGHN: If you don't, Sloane will kill you.SYDNEY: I don't think he will.(She stands up, hesitant.)SYDNEY: Youlike hockey, right?

We should go.(Vaughn brightens with hope. Then his face falls as he realizes what she's doing.)VAUGHN: Sydney, youcan't do this.(Will's desk at the newspaper. He has his headphones on. Jenny stops at his desk.)JENNY: Okay, here's the appeal filed by McNeils' lawyer last yearand I found out that SD-6 is an ingredient in artificial sweetener, but that's probably not the SD-6 you're talking about.WILL: Is my voice annoying?JENNY: Yourvoice?WILL: Yeah. I was just going over this interview with Eloise Kurtz and I started thinking about McNeil. How he had this look in his eyes when I wasinterviewing him. His lawyer the same thing. Just... trying to get away from me.JENNY: Will, you're a journalist for God's sake. You get paid to be annoying.WILL:So you're saying I'm annoying?JENNY: Not to Danny or Eloise Kurtz.WILL: Oh, so I don't annoy dead people?JENNY: Will, you're their champion.WILL: What am Idoing if I'm hurting the people I'm writing about? Look, if I could bring back Danny Hecht and Eloise Kurtz, I would, but I just... I can't. And if championing themis going to cause David McNeil's daughter to be in danger, I can't live with that. I don't think I can do this anymore. This SD-6 story. I'm out.(The goons burstthrough the vent and make it to a hallway off of another hallway where red security beams are illuminated. The female goon - FGOON - has a heart beat detectorin her hands. It beeps, and an agent comes into view.)FGOON: We're right on time.(He checks the corridor. The security red beams go off. They bust in. One ofthem breaks the agent's neck. They run through the hallway while the beams aren't there. The lead goon - Cole - motions for one of the last goons to hurry up asthe red beams start appearing from the back, coming up. Not enough time left, the last goon slides down the rest of the hallway and makes it. Cole strips off hisjumpsuit while FGOON pours him a cup of coffee from a thermos. Underneath the jumpsuit, Cole is wearing a suit. He takes a swig of coffee and spreads his armsout.)COLE: How do I look?(In the parking garage, Sydney drives up in her SUV. She takes out a card and slides it into the security panel that the goons hadunlocked with their machine earlier. She passes through and the gate doors buzz and then open. She drives through.)(In SD-6, Cole walks through. Nobodyrecognizes because, since he's wearing a suit, he blends right in. Cole walks by Sloane's office. Inside the office, Sloane is on the phone, rubbing histemples.)SLOANE: Yes, will you get me my wife's doctor on the phone please?(He looks at monitor on his desk. It's a security camera monitor. He sees Cole walkby. The monitor scans for facial recognition. Sloane's face freezes because he knows who he is.)VOICE: Dr. Medlesohn is on line one.(Sloane stares as thesecurity monitor scans through the files, trying to identify Cole.)VOICE: Sir?(Sloane isn't paying attention. He stares at the monitor.)VOICE: Sir?(In the garage,Sydney parks her SUV and gets out. She sees the McTiernan van. The driver leers at her.)DRIVER: Hey there, beautiful! Why don't you turn that frown upsidedown?(She doesn't run over there and kick his ass. She keeps walking. Pissed, the driver takes out his gun and puts the silencer and laser on. He points the gunat Sydney while she walks away, into SD-6. The red beam of light is aimed right on her head. She walks, having no idea. Suddenly, tires screech and he puts thegun away. Sydney turns. Jack pulls up and gets out of his car, running after her.)JACK: Sydney! Sydney!(He catches up to her. She keeps walking to theelevator.)JACK: This is suicide!SYDNEY: I don't think it is.JACK: What exactly is your exit strategy? Politely asking Sloane to let you out of SD-6?SYDNEY: Basedon Sloane's behavior toward me -- protecting me at Donatti Park, asking Rusik to get me to talk--JACK: Sloane answers to people. People who don't know you orcare about you. If he lets you go, those people will kill him and you.(She goes inside the elevator. He follows.)(Sloane still has the phone up to his ear as he waitsfor the security panel to indentify Cole. A picture flashes up on the screen: McKenas Cole.)SLOANE: Cole.(He presses a button on his desk with his finger. Themonitor flashes \"FAILSAFE ACTIVATED\".)(In the elevator.)JACK: Those people Sloane works for - the alliance - if they believe you've abandoned them, they willkill anyone they think you have talked to. Your roommate Francie. That reporter friend. Anyone.(Control room. Agent2 is still by the monitors, waiting for hiscoffee. Cole enters behind him, holding a gun.)AGENT2: Let me guess. You forgot the two sugars.(He turns around. Cole shoots him twice. In his office, Sloanescrambles for the phone and calls the control room. Cole answers the phone.)SLOANE: We have a physical breach! Start lockdown procedures now!COLE: Surething, Arvin. Whatever you say.(Cole hangs up.)(Elevator.)SYDNEY: I felt this way before I found out about my mother. This life has to stop.(Instead, the elevatorstops and the lights go out.)(Inside SD-6, Dixon looks up as gas starts hissing down from the ceiling vents. Agents start to pass out around him. In his office,Marshall sees the gas coming down and covers his mouth with his sweater vest. Making two or three steps, he falls to the ground beside his inflatable chair. Outin the main part of SD-6, more agents fall to the ground. Dixon falls. In Sloane's office, a vent of gas is pouring down right on top of Sloane. He's slumped overhis desk, his head down.)(In the elevator, the lights come back on. Jack tries the phone.)JACK: Dead. But a blackout wouldn't shut down security.(At thenewspaper, specifically in the bathroom, Will flushes a urinal, takes off his glasses, and washes his hands at the sink. His cell phone rings.)WILL:Tippin.DISTORTED VOICE: Go to your desk.WILL: I'm off the story.DISTORTED VOICE: Leave the bathroom and then go to your desk.(Will looks around all, \"Howthe hell did they know I was in the bathroom?\" He comes out near his desk and looks around for anyone suspicious lurking about. A yellow manila envelope sitson his desk chair. The telephone rings at his desk, but Jenny rushes in and answers it.)JENNY: Will Tippin's office. Um, yeah, he's right here.(She passes thephone to him.)JENNY: Some guy. Totally nasal. Clips on the housing story, Litvack wants two thousand words by noon tomorrow.(She walks out.)WILL:Hello?DISTORTED VOICE: There is something inside the envelope that will make McNeil talk.WILL: I don't want to make him talk.DISTORTED VOICE: You saidyou didn't scare easily.WILL: Well, if you're so brave, why don't you lose the voice box and tell me your name?(Silence.)WILL: Don't call me again.(He hangs up,and throws out the envelope in his nearby garbage can.)(Cole and his goons, wearing gas masks, walk in SD-6 with various guns. The gas stops. Cole takes offhis mask and looks around.)COLE: Five minutes ahead. Get 'em wrapped up, baby!(FGOON starts tying up everyone's hands while they're unconscious. Cole looksto another guy with a gun.)COLE: Chopper, secure the elevator. You got the scanning room door code?CHOPPER: Got it!(Cole approaches FGOON who is at acomputer typing.)COLE: You jammin'?FGOON: I'm jammin'.(He kisses her head.)(Vaughn's office.

Is it because of your sweetdaughter Grace?Jefferson: Because of my work, she lost her mother. I don't want her to lose her father, too.Evil Queen: So, now you're foraging for fungus. Whatkind of future does your daughter have here with you? Do this one last favour for me, and you can give her the life she deserves.Jefferson: That's why I'mstaying. You don't abandon family.

By the windows, there is a telescope pointed at theSheriff's station. Emma hears a noise coming from the room across the hall.

Jefferson opens a locked chest, and pulls out a hat box.)-[Real World]-(Emma slows edges out into the hallway. Sheslowly creeps down the hall, but steps on a creaky floorboard.

They'll be here any second.Jefferson: You haven't calledanybody. For the same reason you didn't tell me about her. You don't want anybody to know you're here, which means, nobody does.

It's the only way I can savehim. And that's what I've decided. I'm gonna save Henry.Belle: The prophecy states that Henry will be your undoing. To save him, you ensure your own death.Mr.Gold: You don't think I can do it?Belle: I think your intentions are good. But a lifetime of craven self-interest is a nasty habit that you've never been able tobreak.Mr. Gold: Things are different now.Belle: How? What... what's different?Mr. Gold: Because I have nothing to live for.Belle: What about me?Mr. Gold: You'renot real. Just a vision.Belle: But I'm... I'm back in Storybrooke, waiting for you.Mr. Gold: You shouldn't be. When I said good-bye to you, Belle, we both know itwas for good.Belle: Well, maybe I think you'll come back.Mr. Gold: Even if I did, eventually you'd leave me because you can see me for what I really am.

Anyway, she says that there are sentries positionedacross the front, which is why we are gonna come in through the back entrance here. She's gonna talk her way in. Once she makes sure the coast is clear, thenwe are going to sneak on in.Tinkerbelle: You'll still have to deal with any lost boys once you're inside.Regina: I think we can handle a few children with pointysticks.Tinkerbelle: It's not the sticks you need to worry about. It's the poison they're dipped in.Mary Margret: Dreamshade. Hook warned us.Tinkerbelle: Good.Because one nick, and you'll spend the last of...David: Poison sticks equal death. We got it. Now when can we put this rescue mission into action?Tinkerbelle: I'mready to go, just as you tell me the exit plan. You do have an escape plan, don't you?Emma: It's... it's more of a last-minute trip.Tinkerbelle: If you don't have away off this island, then none of this matters.Regina: We'll figure it out.Tinkerbelle: You'll figure it out? No one comes and goes from this place unless he allows it.This is a waste of time.David: Hey, when it comes to family, we always find a way.Tinkerbelle: You don't get it. Here. Let me show you something. You know whatthis is?Emma: Yeah, a watch.Tinkerbelle: I got it from the people who brought your son here for Pan.Emma: Greg and Tamara? Where are they? Why'd they giveyou that?Tinkerbelle: I got it off the girl's body. Spent half the night cleaning the blood off it. And the other guy... Well, there wasn't enough left of him to findanything useful. This is what Pan does to people he employs. What do you think he's gonna do to you? I'm not sticking my neck on Pan's chopping block without away off this island. When you figure that out, you know where I live.Mary Margret: Where the hell is she going?David: I'll get her, bring her back.Emma: Don't.She's right. If there's one thing I've learned, you never break in somewhere unless you know the way out.Regina: And where'd you get that, in bail bondspersonschool?Emma: Neal taught me that.David: What about you, Hook? You got off this island before.Hook: Yes, aboard my ship, which would require some form ofmagic to create a portal, which... I got from Pan in a deal I don't think he's ready to repeat.Regina: So no one's ever left the island without Pan'spermission.Hook: One man.

[She slings him a large roll ofduct tape] Thanks.He kneels down to patch the rip. Frasier comes out of the hall dressed in his best suit.Daphne: Oh, Dr. Crane, don't you look smart.Frasier:Well, I don't feel smart. I let Roz set me up another one of her blind dates.Daphne: Who's the lucky woman?Frasier: Oh, a friend from her aerobics class. Oh,perhaps it won't be so bad. She's thirty-two, has a terrific body, and apparently thinks I'm God's gift to broadcasting.Martin: Well, at least you have one thing incommon.Frasier grimly watches his father repairing his chair.Frasier: Dad, when are you going to stop blighting the environment with this atrocity? [doorbell] MyGod, can't you see that it wants to die? Let it go!Martin: [sits back down] You know, I keep having this dream where you say the same words. Only I'm in thehospital and you're slipping the nurse a twenty.Frasier: Dad, that will never happen.Martin: Thank you.Frasier: I have medical power of attorney, it won't cost mea thing.He answers the door to Niles and Girl, his Maris-like dog.Niles: Hello, Frasier. We were in the neighborhood for a pedicure and a seaweed wrap and wethought we'd stop by. Of course, the pedicure was for...Martin: Stop right there! There's no way to finish that sentence that'll make me proud.Niles: I have somewonderful news. I just signed a lease for an apartment in one of the most exclusive buildings in Seattle.Frasier: You don't mean?Niles: I do. As of next week, I'llbe a resident of... [holds out his lease] the Montana.Frasier: Niles, why would you want to live in such a stodgy building? When I applied there they treated me asif I was riff-raff.Niles: Well, if you're going to answer your own questions, what do you need me for? The best part is, I'll never have to give my address again.From now on, I'll simply be, \"Dr. Niles Crane, The Montana.\"Daphne: That's a lovely building. I've only been there once, applying for a job.Niles: I can't imagineanyone turning down a chance to hire you.Daphne: I hope you're right, I haven't heard yet. Well, goodnight!She leaves to her bedroom. The three Crane menlook unsettled.Martin: Hey, Frasier, you don't...Frasier: Oh, just relax, dad. It's just her way of angling for more vacation time.Martin: What if she isn't?Frasier:Well, they'd still have to call me for a reference. Either way, she's not going anywhere.Niles looks suddenly at Girl, who is not moving.Niles: Gosh, that's uncanny,dad.Martin: What is?Niles: The way she's taken with you.

MyGod, stand her upright, take ten pounds off her, put her in a Chanel suit, whatcha got?Niles: I'm sorry, that's ridiculous.Frasier: Oh, is it really?

So how did it go with Rita last night?Frasier: She didn't quite take to me.Roz: Oh, you're just beinghard on yourself like you always are.Frasier: You tell me. Over appetizers, she suddenly remembered that she had a very early morning meeting, so shesuggested we skip the jazz club after dinner.Roz: People have meetings.Frasier: Mmm-hmm. When the waiter suggested a soufflé for desert that would take anextra thirty minutes she said, \"Oh Dear God, no!\"Roz: She was probably on a diet.Frasier: After I dropped her off at home, I noticed she had left her suede jackedin my car. I called to offer to swing it by and she said, and I quote, \"Just keep it.\"Roz: What did you do to her?Frasier: Nothing! God Roz, I have had it. In thepast six months I have done everything a man can possibly do to meet a woman. Singles bars, blind dates, lecture series at the museum. I've even spent hours inthe grocery store trying to look helpless in the produce department! That's it. I'm taking myself off the market. Frasier Crane has thumped his last melon.Roz:You know, Frasier...Frasier: Roz, Roz, please. I know what you're going to say. I should climb back on that horse, I'm too great a catch to give up now.Roz: No, Ithink you should give up.Frasier: [startled:] What? I don't really want to give up. I don't really want to give up, I was just saying that to get your sympathy.Roz:It happens sometimes. When you get into a really bad streak, you start to get desperate. Women can smell it.Frasier: Smell it?Roz: Mmm-hmm. As soon as theman begins to get overeager - you know, like complimenting you too much, or laughing too hard at all your jokes - you just want to turn and run!Frasier: I don'tdo that!Roz: Oh honey, wake up and smell... well yourself! You just have to air it out a little bit.

Hey, Dr. Crane.Frasier: Hey, you look reallylovely today, Christine. It is Christine, isn't it?Christine: That's what it says on my driver's license.Frasier: [laughs hard] Very charming.

And we conclude our little tour back here in the living room.Daphne: It's very posh. [doorbell]Martin: Niles, why a bed in the livingroom?Niles: That's not a bed, dad. It's an antique fainting couch.Daphne: My goodness, they had furniture for everything back then, didn't they!Niles answers thedoor to Frasier.Niles: Ah, I'm glad you made it.Frasier: You know, Niles, this precious little building of yours isn't as exclusive as you think. Your doorman wavedme right through.Niles: Oh, that's because he knows you.Frasier: Oh, fan of my show?Niles: No, he lives in your building.Martin: So Niles, what did you do aboutthe dog?Niles: Oh, I found a wonderful family to adopt her.Daphne: Well, I'm sure it won't take you long to adjust to being alone again.Niles: Well, actually Iwon't have to. Follow me, there's someone I'd like you to meet. It was love at first sight! She's very exotic, only eats every other day, and she's so white she'salmost blue! [exits to the kitchen]Martin: Wow, I'm getting nervous. That's what he said just before he introduced us to Maris!The gang enter Niles's kitchen,where a cockatoo is perched on his shoulder.Niles: Everybody, meet Baby.Baby: I love you.Frasier: You bought a bird?Niles: Well, I started to think how quiet itwould be around here, and she is lovely and she is so affectionate.Baby: I love you.Niles: Ah! She says that all the time. I love you too, baby.Baby: I love you,grandma.Niles: She's still in transition from her last owner.The door buzzer sounds, causing Baby to squawk and dig her claws into Niles's shoulder.Niles: Ow, ow!Let go of my shoulder! You don't like that noise, do you, baby? Go to your food. [she does] Oh, good girl. Excuse me.He leaves the kitchen to answer thedoor.Daphne: Oh you know, I've always been fascinated by these birds that can actually learn how to talk.Martin: [walks to Baby] Aw, they can't talk. They just adrill a few words into them at the pet shop and they never learn anything else after that.Frasier: It is attractive, though.Martin: Yeah well, that's the way theyare: Cute but stupid.Baby: Cute but stupid!Martin straightens up, surprised. Baby mimics him. Martin nods his head, Baby does the same. He starts bobbing upand down...Frasier: You know Daphne, I think we should leave these two alone. I sense a real battle of wits shaping up.Martin carries on. Frasier enters the livingroom as Niles shuts the door with mail in hand.Niles: Well, I'm off to an auspicious start in the building. One of my neighbours got my mail by mistake. Look atthose bills, what must she think of me?Frasier: But Niles, everyone gets bills.Niles: Not at the Montana. They all have people. Their bills go to their people. I wantthem to think I have people too. I used to have people... only they were Maris's people.Frasier: Niles, if you keep this up you won't even have the people whodon't care you don't have people.Niles: Well, it just shows how essential it is to make a good impression when moving into a new building, which is why I'mthrowing a dinner party Friday night for a few select residents. I'll show them such a good time there'll be no question that I belong here.Frasier: Am Iinvited?Niles: Yes you are, but I'm afraid you can't bring a date. You know how I hate a crowded table.Frasier: It's alright. I've taken myself off the dating circuit.I'm afraid I was getting a bit desperate.Niles: Well, I was a bit concerned when you called to ask if Gloria was our first or second cousin.Martin sticks his head outof the kitchen.Martin: Niles, you gotta see this, your bird's eating peanut butter! It's even funnier than when Eddie does it!Niles: Dad!As Niles gets up, the doorbuzzes again.Niles: Frasier, would you get that? And pretend you're my people.Niles rushes into the kitchen to stop Martin whilst Frasier answers the door to awoman; Stephanie Garret.Stephanie: Oh, I'm sorry, I was looking for Dr. Crane. I found some more of his mail.Frasier: Well, I'm a Dr. Crane. I'm Niles'sbrother.Stephanie: Oh my gosh, you're Frasier Crane from the radio, aren't you? Oh, I love your show.Frasier: Thank you.Stephanie: Oh, StephanieGarret.Frasier: [shakes hands] Stephanie.Stephanie: You know, em, you are not going to believe this but when I was a freshman at Harvard, I saw you performthe pirate king in a production of \"Pirates Of Penzance.\"Frasier: Oh my God.Stephanie: No, no, you were great. You were so good, I brought my husband back tosee you the next night. Well, he wasn't my husband then. Well, actually he's not my husband now.Frasier: Glad to hear that.

I, uh, give you all permission to do whatever it is that you squints do. I'll,uh, just... (he brakes the crime scene tape on the stairs and starts backing down) Call me. (to the FBI agents at the bottom of the stairs) Let's go.(Cut to: Booth'sBathroom. Booth is lounging in the tub, sipping beer from his beer helmet when Brennan barges in.)BRENNAN: I need to talk to you!BOOTH: What the hell,Bones! I'm in my house, in my bathroom, in my bathtub! (Brennan walks over to the record player and turns it off) How the hell did ya get in hereanyway?BRENNAN: Well, that fake rock by your front door wouldn't fool anybody. Why are you wearing a hat that dispenses beer?BOOTH: Hot tub, plus cold beerequals warm beer. Hat? Equals solution. So why are you -BRENNAN: And that cigar? Very unhealthy.BOOTH: Okay, what the hell do ya want now, Bones? Okay?Cause I'm not really feeling too relaxed.BRENNAN: You should have told me that you weren't dead.BOOTH: I already explained this to you. The bureau has to veteveryone when there is a security issue. I was just following protocol.BRENNAN: Protocol!?BOOTH: Yes!BRENNAN: We've been partners for three years, Booth,and you've broken protocol before - sometimes putting my life in danger. Which makes sense because you clearly don't have any real concern for me.BOOTH:(standing up) I took a bullet for you!BRENNAN: Once! That only goes so far (realizing that Booth is standing there, naked) Would you like a towel?(He sinks backinto the tub)BOOTH: Fine. What is it that I should have done, Bones? Wha- what did you want me to do?BRENNAN: Well, you could have called me. Did you reallythink I needed to be vetted by your boss? I mean, don't you trust me?BOOTH: Of course I do.BRENNAN: Then why wasn't I told. It must have been somethingthat you said.BOOTH: No. I don't know why you weren't told.BRENNAN: But you - you said that I should be. I mean, aren't you curious why I wasn't?BOOTH:Yes! Do you want me to find out why you weren't told?BRENNAN: If it's important to you.BOOTH: Fine. I will. The next time I die, I promise that I will tellyou.BRENNAN: I'll look forward to that.BOOTH: Me too.(He opens up a \"Green Lantern\" comic book and starts reading)BRENNAN: What are you reading?BOOTH:A novel. (She looks at him) It's a graphic novel.BRENNAN: Just so you know, I find your lack of Puritan modesty very refreshing.(Booth lowers the comic book tocover himself and Brennan leaves the room, turning the music back on as she walks out the door.)(Cut to: Medico Legal Lab - platform)ZACK: The marks on themandible definitely indicate that the bones have been gnawed on.HODGINS: But, but not with teeth.ZACK: The markings were made by someone wearingdentures.CAM: Well, a toothless cannibal just can't cut it in todays competitive serial killer climate. How do you know he wore dentures.HODGINS: Zack foundtraces of polymethylmethacrylate monomer tetrasalisic floramicha on the mandible. (9:41)CAM: I'm gonna go out on a limb here and assume that's whatdentures are made of.(Cam picks up her phone and dials)ZACK: But not normal commercial dentures you get from the dentist.HODGINS: Main ingrediant ispolymethyl methacrylic.ZACK: These dentures were homemade.CAM: (into phone) I got our victims DNA results back.(During the conversation, camera cutsbetween Booth - in the bathtub and Cam - in the lab)BOOTH: Is it the Lobbyist?CAM: Yup. Gormogon's last victim.BOOTH: I was wondering when some part ofhim would show up.CAM: (hears the water going down the drain) What's that sucking sound?BOOTH: You know what? This is MY house. Okay?

Then a bright white light flashes andthen dims to show a surgical light. We pan down to Sydney, waking on a stretcher in what could be something like an emergency room. She's dressed only in awhite hospital gown and underwear. She sits up groggy, then stands up gingerly. She walks over to the door and tries to open it. It's locked. She bangs on thedoor with her hand.)Sydney (hoarsely): Hello!(She turns away from the window and starts to walk, looking around, then stops as a wave of pain hits her. Shelooks down. There's blood seeping through the hospital gown in the spot where her scar is now. She leans against a counter and lifts the hospital gown to revealan angry seeping wound. She sticks her fingers inside the wound, pulling out the end of a thin plastic tube (think, the kind of thin plastic tube often used foraerators in aquariums) She holds up the end of the tube, shocked, her hand covered in blood. She starts pulling and more tubing comes out. It's freaking her out.She starts pulling faster and faster, but the tubing doesn't end. Blood is splashing everywhere, covering her, splashing the walls. She holds up a fistful of tubingand screams. We cut to a scene farther out. There is a pile of tubing at Sydney's feet in a puddle of blood. Blood is spattered all down her side, on her hands, herface, the wall behind her.)(Cut to Sydney, sitting up suddenly in bed, gasping and sweaty. She's had a nightmare. She's really freaked out, can barely breathe.She pulls up her tank top to reveal her healed scar. She fingers it, gasping and crying. She lies back on the bed, pulling the covers up to her neck, crying andgasping in anguish.)(Cut to Sydney walking through a set of double doors. US STAFFORD NAVAL HOSPITAL. She approaches the doctor who runs the \u0000losttime\u0000 peer group. He notices her standing next to him as he hands a nurse a medical chart he's just signed.)Doctor: Oh, Sydney. (to nurse) Thank you.Nurse:Thank you, doctor.Doctor: Nice to see you.Sydney: I know that I haven't been to group in a while.Doctor: That's okay We have another session heretonightSydney: I actually came here to talk to you about something else.Doctor: Is it your dreams?(Sydney nods.)Sydney: I've heard about a procedure used torecover lost memories: neurostimulation therapy.Doctor: Oh, Sydney before we discuss this, let's give group a chanceSydney: Some of those people have beenthat group for ten years, and none of them seem to be any closer to finding out what happened to them.Doctor: Well the point is to accept what's happened, thatyou may never remember, and in so doing, free yourself to move on.Sydney: With all due respect, the one thing that you don't know is what it feels like. Youhave clearance, so I can tell you that unlike anyone else in that group, there's a terrorist organization trying to find out the one thing that I can't remember. Mypoint being, I don't have the luxury of waiting for acceptance.Doctor (walking): Come with me.(Sydney follows. Cut to look into the window of a padded cell. Aman with a shaved head wanders around inside in a straitjacket.)Doctor: This is Kenneth Blake. He joined Central Intelligence in 1981. He was missing for fiveyears finally turned up in a South Korean hospital with severe injuries and no memory whatsoever. Blake volunteered for the same procedure you're asking for.The procedure was carried out. Blake soon learned that he'd been in custody of the North Koreans all that time, exposed to torture so intense, so prolonged, thathis conscious mind blacked it out. The invasive nature of the surgery left him with permanent brain damage. You should know, Sydney, that the National SecurityCouncil considers Blake a successful test case for neurostimulation therapy. (starting to get choked up) I'd consider death an option before this procedure.(OffSydney's look, we cut to NOGALES, MEXICO. Children play soccer in the dirt street. Suddenly shooting breaks up the scene. Cut to a pair of feet running in thestreet. Pan up to a man's back as he runs by. Cut to reverse angle; we see two police officers chasing the man, shooting at him. Police cruisers block off the otherdirection and the man raises his hands. It's Javier Perez. He kneels while they handcuff him. Cut to Javier, sitting in a jail cell.)Police Chief (offscreen): You'vebeen a busy man, Javier Perez.(Cut to Chief leaning against the wall of the cell, accompanied by another armed officer. He is looking in a file folder.)Chief:Epidemology lab in Cannes; Disease Control Ministry in Spain; Genetic engineering facility in Cuba(Cut to Javier as he sighs and leans his head wearily against thewall, closing his eyes. Cut back to Chief.)Chief: Do I turn you over to Cuba, to Spain, to France? To me there is no difference. For you, there is at least onesignificant difference: France and Spain do not believe in the death penalty.(Cut to Javier, worried and nervous. Cut back to Chief.)Chief: So here's where we helpeach other. You provide me with a bigger fish, say who commissioned you, for instance and I allow you to choose to whom I place my call.(Cut to Javier.)Javier:What if I told you that I had information that would be very interesting to the Americans? Regarding a Central Intelligence agent and a murder.(Cut to Chief, wholaughs and looks at the other officer also laughing.)Chief: A CIA agent committing murder Hardly newsworthy.(Chief starts to walk away.)Javier: It is when itsdone on behalf of an international terrorist group and the target is a Russian diplomat.(Chief stops walking and looks back at Javier.)(Cut to aerial scene of LA byday. Cut to Dixon walking through the JTF.)Dixon (loudly): People, listen up! We've got non-cleared personnel en route! Deactivate the wireless network and putall secure servers on lockdown. I don't want to see anything on these screens more revealing than a weather map!(Cut to armed agents escorting a handcuffedman with a black drape over his head.

They're walking and enter the main rotunda area. Dixon stands waiting for them. Other agents gather also. Dixon nods,and the officers remove the man's hood, who's no longer hand cuffed. It's Arvin Sloane. Dixon walks toward him. They spend several moments staring each otherdown.)Sloane: I always knew you were destined for great things.(Dixon's only reaction is a tiny grimace and he swallows.)Dixon: Follow me.(They turn and enterthe conference room, where everyone but Lauren and Vaughn are seated.)Sloane: Marshall (said kindly, smiling, as if happy to see him)Marshall: Mr. Sloane hi.It's been a while and a lot has happened. I mean, at first you were evil, now you're good so you claim not that I don't..trust you, it's just How are you?Sloane:Very happy to see you, Marshall. (He shakes Marshall's hand and sits down.)Dixon: Given the sensitive nature that Arvin Sloane is about to present to us, Ithought it best if he did so here.Sloane: So, is everyone here?Dixon: Agents Vaughn and Reed are prepping a separate assignment under the direction of theNSC.(Cut to Jack and Sydney as they give each other curious looks.)Sloane: Ten hours ago, I had a meeting with Mr. Sark(cut to flashback)Sloane: I assumewe're here because the Covenant requires something of me?(Sark pulls a mini disc case out of his coat and holds it out to Sloane.)Sark: Your newassignment(end flashback)Sloane: Seems the Covenant is no longer satisfied with using my organization merely as a front for their illegal activities. They've nowtasked me an operation.(cut to Sydney's reaction then back to Sloane)Sloane: I presume you know what a maser isMarshall: You mean a microwave laser? Well,yeah(Both Sloane and Dixon turn to look at him.)Marshall (looking at Sloane): You, uh want me to explain ?Dixon: Marshall: Sloane has no authority in thisroom.Marshall: Sorry. I didn't mean to offend you, sir. I know you're definitely the main do you want me to ?Dixon: Yes.Marshall: It's a microwave that getsfocused into a pinpoint beam, very similar to how light gets focused into a laser.Sloane: Tomorrow night, I'm scheduled to attend a charity function held by theChinese Government at one of their Ministries The Covenant has acquired intelligence that China has designed a working maser unit, the prototype of which isheld there. China intends to mount a maser array on one of their defense satellites. It is an assassination program.Weiss: Wait are you saying this weapon iscapable of killing from space!?Jack: Pulse microwaves are capable of causing tissue damage, heart failure even brain hemorrhage. This weapon could make itappear as if the victim died of natural causes. You could imagine the potential threat if the Covenant were to acquire this technology.Sloane: I've been tasked tosteal the maser's operating system, which is in the Chinese Defense Minister's office.Dixon: I want Strategic Services to review your plan, and I'll assign an agentto go along.Sloane: I'd presumed that would be the case. Therefore, I propose that Sydney accompany me to the function posing as my assistant, and thentogether we acquire the operating system, corrupt the maser, and pass along the faulty data to the Covenant That is, assuming the CIA still intends to use me asa double agent.Sydney: Why me?Sloane: Because this mission cannot be done alone. I will not risk my life unless I am going in with the best.Jack: Do you reallyimagine, given your history with Sydney, we would ever order ?Sydney (cutting Jack off): I'll go. (to Sloane) You know I don't trust you, and that I believe youhave an endgame beyond this operation. But I also know that if we're caught, we'll be standing side by side in front of a Chinese firing squad, which means thistime our interests are in line and if you betray me? I will just kill you myself.(Cut to Sloane's satisfied smirk. Cut to Black. End of Act One)[SCENE_BREAK](Cut toVaughn, arranging a file on his desk.

I leave for Mexico in an hour.Lauren requested me; she's briefing me en route.(Vaughn and Jack start walking)Jack: A contact of mine in Nogales informed me that Javier Perez wasapprehended by Mexican authorities.(Vaughn stops walking and turns to face Jack.)Jack: I'm sure you remember him as part of the freelance team that Sydneyinfiltrated several weeks ago.Vaughn: Yeah, sort of He almost killed me.Jack: He's offered to trade information to the NSC in exchange for leniency. Our problemis this: He knows about Sydney that she murdered Andrian Lazarey under the alias Julia Thorne. You can imagine the consequences if he were to share thisinformation with your wife. I think, Agent Vaughn, that you should tell her that you know the identity of the man you've been sent to interview and that conflict ofinterest requires both of you to remove yourself from this case.Vaughn: Are you asking me to interfere with my wife's investigation?Jack: Yes.Vaughn: No. I'vekept the truth about Sydney from Lauren because Dixon ordered me to; a situation you orchestrated.Jack: You understand the consequences to Sydney if this"}

Hey.CLUB TRICMillie asks to Mouth to find a new topic for the new show.MOUTH: Drugs -- more specifically,drug stores.MILLICENT: I do a story on drug stores? What's the angle?MOUTH: The angle is how drug stores are the new coffeehouses. Remember when therewas a new coffee shop on every block? Well, now it's drug stores. They're everywhere. It's like caffeine used to be the drug of choice, but now people are skippingthe coffee and going right for the actual drugs.MILLICENT: They could wash it down with the coffee. What else you got?MOUTH: How 'bout the airlines? We keepbailing them out with more money, and they keep sucking. You could do an expose on the worst airline on the planet. They have those planes that don't everleave the airport.MILLICENT: I should probably keep it more general than that.MOUTH: Okay, so talk about how the airlines charge for everything now snacks,bags, that ratty scrap of disease they call a blanket.MILLICENT: Not bad.MOUTH: And they lie. They're such liars. They know when your flight's gonna be threehours late, but instead of telling you, they say your flight's on time. Then they change the status every 20 minutes to give you 9 times' worth of false hope, as ifthat somehow makes it not as bad. Oh, how 'bout when they tell you to turn off your phone for safety reasons? If the safety of the plane could be affected bycellphones, do you really think they'd let you bring them on board?MILLICENT: I never thought of that.MOUTH: In this day and age, considering all theirrestrictions, we're really gonna trust first-time-flyer Carl back in 14C to turn off his cellphone so we can all land safely? I mean, considering he boarded with thewrong group, reeks of cologne, and laughs out loud at his own jokes, that's the guy we're gonna trust to do the right thing?MILLICENT: You're kind of angry,Marvin McFadden.MOUTH: About flying? Yeah, a little. Some idiot tries to light a bomb with his stinking sweaty feet, and now I got to take my shoes off to walkthrough the foot rot of a million travelers every time I fly.

Lydia Chester Scott -- I don't know. It doesn't quite have the rightring to it, does it? Does it?JAMIE: I guess. But if I ever have a kid...Their middle name's gonna be Chester.HALEY: I suppose that's fair. So, what do you got goingon today, kiddo?JAMIE: Not much.

You only invited me here so you could passive-aggressively rub my nose in yourhappiness. At least I would have had the decency to rub your nose in it directly.Becca: Oh, yes, your commitment to honesty is so refreshing. It must be so hardbeing the only one who sees people for what they actually are.Jimmy: It is. It's incredibly hard.Becca: Well, it's also gonna be what keeps you alone, because youare ugly and unpleasant and honestly, Jimmy, you're not the original you think you are.Jimmy: I'm not original?

No. How could I possibly know your great...?Edgar: Oh, he was this crazy adventurer guy who owned a ranch in Zihuatanejo,and he sold arms and was a matador. Jimmy: What was his name? Voldemort? Never mind.Edgar: The coolest guy. Because I was thinking, he sounds like he hadit all worked out, and maybe if I could learn his secrets, then I could fix my problems.Jimmy: How would meeting your dead relative help you move out of myhouse?Edgar: No, I'm talking about my real problems. Like, the nightmares and the crying, and how I want to do heroin all the time. So, anyway, what do youthink?Jimmy: What do I think about what?Edgar: If I should hold a seance to contact great-grandfather Baldemar.Jimmy: No.Edgar: I think I'm gonna do it.Thanks.Gretchen: Why did you let me sleep so late?

This is dynamite.Edgar: Oh,thanks.Gretchen: So, how do you guys know each other?Edgar: Uh, we met in college.Jimmy: No, we didn't.Edgar: Well, he was in college, and I sold weed tocollege kids. Then he started giving me books to read, 'cause he saw untapped potential in me.Jimmy: I gave you books that I stole from Borders because I didn'thave money for weed.Edgar: Semantics. Have you read his book yet?Gretchen: No.Edgar: Sales were flatter than expected, plus he blew all his money on thishouse. That's why he has to do more magazine work, but you should read it. It's real good.Gretchen: Okay.Jimmy: At least buy your own copy.Gretchen(laughs): Right. So, which one of you is giving me a ride to work?Edgar: I can't drive because I have PTSD and mild to medium battlefield-inducedpsychosis.Gretchen: Bummer.

I told you all the time how he swallowed herup. She disappeared her life into his and was never the Same.Gretchen: Oh, that's 'cause Becca doesn't have a personality to begin with.Lindsay: Well, that'strue. Ugh! Oh, Jimmy's the worst. Did he say anything about me?Gretchen: Nope.Lindsay: You're not gonna see him again, are you?Gretchen: No way. We didhave fun, though.(Lindsay groans)Oh, God, I hope he doesn't think it was, like, an actual thing.Lindsay: No kidding. Um, get...

There's an aura cleanse, a chakra cleanse, but no karma cleanse. If it were possible tobe cleansed, it would be in there. But there's no spell, it can't be done.(Piper walks in.)Piper: Got anything?Paige: Yeah, let's see. (Piper and Paige look at theopen book.) They are distant relatives of kazis and vampires, which means they come from a hive. Did you even read this?Piper: I skimmed it. So they weredrones that we were killing.

Can't you ask her to marry you another night?(Phoebe walksin.)Phoebe: Get off that phone.Piper: You know what, I'll handle it. Good luck. (Piper hangs up.) I hope she says no.Phoebe: Take a look at this. This is the newface of evil. (She shows Piper a newspaper.) His name is John Normand. He owns the phone company, and he's been stealing from us for months. Doesn't thatjust make you angry?Piper: Not really.Phoebe: Wait, he's been stealing from us, and he's probably gonna get away with it due to some loophole orsomething.(Piper puts Chris down on the change table.)Piper: Phoebe, I'm a little more worried about the actual demons in the world, you know, the ones wealmost got rid of.Phoebe: Yeah, there's nothing we can do about them. We tried to save the world, it didn't work. The demons are gonna attack when they'regonna attack.Piper: And when they do, we're just gonna be right back to the same old... (Piper takes off Chris' diaper.) Wow!Phoebe: Whoa! You're not kidding.Wow!Piper: Okeydokey. (Piper puts a new diaper on Chris.) Speaking of which, could you do me a favour and watch the boys tonight? I need Leo to help me setup at P3, and apparently my manager is busy proposing.Phoebe: Yeah, sure, of course. It's not like anyone's proposing to me, or like anyone's sending meflowers or reciting me poetry. So much for the little girl I saw in my vision.Piper: Well, Phoebe, just because the Avatars are gone doesn't mean that you won'tstill find love.Phoebe: Easy for you to say. You have Leo.Piper: Yeah, but do I really? It's only a matter of time before the Elders punish him for becoming anAvatar, which they practically drove him to anyway with Gideon and everything.Phoebe: They made Kyle a Whitelighter, and that's good, right?Piper: Yeah, but ittook him away from Paige. And believe me, they got their cosmic jollies off that one.Phoebe: Where is Paige?Piper: At Magic School, where else? Why?Phoebe:Just worried about her, that's all.[Scene: Magic School. Paige and Miss Donovan are there.]Paige: It really is another great application.Miss Donovan: A muse?No, no, no, no. You can't hire her as the next literature professor. She'll inspire them to write novels instead of reading them.Paige: Oh, that's a good point. Ihadn't thought of that.Miss Donovan: Well, I did. And that's why you should hire me.Paige: What? You want to be a teacher?Miss Donovan: Well, isn't it time Imoved up? Besides, I had a great rapport with the last literature professor.Paige: You hated that little gnome, arguing with him five minutes before he waskilled.Miss Donovan: Well, that was our way. Besides, if the truth were told, he'd want me to have the job. I'm very well-read.Paige: It takes more than that,though. It takes being able to really connect with the students.Miss Donovan: I can do that. In fact, I've got some tricks you don't even know about.(MissDonovan suddenly disappears and she sits up on the couch near by.)Paige: Did you astral project?Miss Donovan: Mrs. Winterbourne taught me before she wenton sabbatical. Don't worry, I'll get used to it. Trust me. I am the best candidate for this job.(The hear a motorbike.)Paige: What the hell...(A guy on a motorbikesuddenly appears and he skids across the floor and slams into a table.)Drake: That's gonna leave a mark. Sorry about the table.Paige: Are you okay?(He turns offthe motorbike.)Miss Donovan: Who are you?Drake: I'm the new teacher.Opening Credits[Scene: Magic School. Continued from before.]Miss Donovan: You ride inhere and nearly kill us, and now you want to teach here?Drake: If I wanted to teach parallel parking, you might have a point, but I'm here for literature.MissDonovan: And what do you know about literature?Drake: Plenty. (He clicks his fingers and a sheet of paper appears in his hand.) My resume.(He hands it toPaige.)Paige: Drake. Huh. Well, maybe you should have sent this in so you didn't waste your time.Drake: Oh, I never waste my time. For life is but a walkingshadow, the poor player who struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more. It is a tale...Miss Donovan: Tale told...Drake: Take it, sister.MissDonovan: By an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying...Drake: Nothing.Paige: You two are not gonna make this easy for me.Drake: Come on, what are youtalking about? No contest. It's right there on the resume. I studied at Juilliard, performed on Broadway, and I was penning a memoir that I intend to finish on mydeathbed.Miss Donovan: Oh, I look forward to reading that.Drake: Well, thank you very much.Paige: Why aren't any of these credits more than a yearlong?Drake: Simple really. Before that I was a demon.Miss Donovan: What? A demon?Drake: Was a demon. Now human.Paige: Okay, and how exactly did thathappen?Drake: Personally, I hate exposition, but if... All right. Fifty weeks ago I made a deal, the Sorcerer made me human.Paige: Just like that?Drake: Therewere a few minor stipulations. First of all, I get to keep my powers, and if I use them in any offensive manner, he gets them, and I burn for all eternity.MissDonovan: What are you waiting for? Vanquish him!Drake: Vanq... Lady. Vanquish. I just want a chance to make up for my demon days. If you don't believe me,research me, look into my history. I've got almost nothing to hide.Miss Donovan: We'll see about that.Paige: Miss Donovan, where are you going?Miss Donovan:To prove that he's dangerous.(Miss Donovan leaves the room.)Drake: If that is safety, then I am dangerous. Boy, is she gonna be sorry when I get the job.Paige:Not so fast, Mr. Pompadour Motorcycle Guy. I don't know what to make of you.Drake: Why don't we consult the Book of Shadows? Want a ride?[Scene: P3. Piperand Leo are there. Piper slaps a cardboard heart onto the wall.]Piper: Okay, next.Leo: That one's ripped.Piper: So? The crowd will be too. Actually, this is takingfar too long. Where's my staple gun?Leo: Staple gun? Since when do you staple decorations? Don't you want everything to be perfect?Piper: What's the point? It'sall gonna be torn down tomorrow anyway.Leo: The point is not to worry about what's gonna happen tomorrow. The point is to stop and enjoy Valentine'sDay.Piper: Well, some people can't forget. Some people would rather see the rips and the flaws so that they're not totally devastated when they're all torn downsuddenly tomorrow.Leo: We're not talking about decorations anymore, are we?Piper: Look, Leo, I'm sorry, but I can't just stand here and pretend like everythingis not falling apart again. We both know the Elders are not gonna be easy on you.Leo: When you change the world, you gotta expect consequences.Piper: Sayswho? The Elders brought this on themselves. It's just as much their fault as it is ours, maybe even more so.Leo: Well, I'm the one that chose to become anAvatar. I betrayed them.Piper: Because they drove you to it, with Gideon, what he did to Chris and what he tried to do to Wyatt.Leo: I don't think they'll see itthat way.Piper: You need to make them see it that way, or else this may be the last Valentine's Day we spend together.[Scene: Underworld. Cave. A Sorcerer anda bounty hunter are there.]Sorcerer: Your leads are worthless, bounty hunter!Bounty Hunter: I'm not the one who lost Drake in the first place. That was you,Sorcerer.Sorcerer: Well, I never dreamt I'd need to keep tabs on him. By now, I thought he would have used his powers for sure.Bounty Hunter: And yet hehasn't.Sorcerer: He's stronger than I thought, which is why you must find him so I can force him to give in to temptation.Bounty Hunter: But we are running outof time.Sorcerer: In more ways than one, Mr. Rathbone. Zankou is moving in to take over the Underworld. If I expect to stop him and to seize the throne formyself, I must have Drake's powers! I'll double the bounty, but find him.(Three demons walk in. Two of the demons are holding onto Miss Donovan and she isstruggling to get away.)Demon: Sir, excuse me, sir. We have a new lead.Bounty Hunter: A woman? You call that a lead?Demon: We caught her in the Underworldasking about Drake. She may know where he is.Sorcerer: Ah, is that so?Miss Donovan: I don't know anything. Let me go!(The Sorcerer holds up aknife.)Sorcerer: Think harder, my dear.[Scene: Manor. Conservatory. Phoebe, Wyatt and Chris are there. Phoebe is on the phone.]Phoebe: No, you can not putme on hold again. When are you gonna send me a refund for my phone bill? What do you mean, never? Look, this is... You know what? Forget it. I have callwaiting anyway, which you're probably overcharging me for, right? (She presses a button.) Hello?Darryl: Hey, Phoebe, it's Darryl.Phoebe: Darryl, shouldn't yoube out arresting that thief John Normand? Did you read the paper today? It says that...Darryl: We got bigger things to worry about. Sheridan's back.Phoebe:What? Oh, no. Any more good news?Darryl: Your friend Brody came to visit me last night and told me that he brought her out of the coma. Didn't you say hedied?Phoebe: Yeah, well, I never said it stuck. He became a Whitelighter.Darryl: The point is he did some mumbo jumbo on her where she doesn't rememberanything that happened.Phoebe: Well, does she remember us?Darryl: I don't know yet. He told me to tell her that they went on some undercover mission andthat he died and she wound up in a coma. Just how long do you expect her to buy that?Phoebe: I don't know. But as long as we don't trigger her memory, weshould be fine.Darryl: What do you mean, trigger?Phoebe: Her memory could come back is she's reminded of us. You have to keep her away from us.Paige'sVoice: Phoebe, I need you upstairs.Phoebe: Okay. Coming! Darryl, I'm sorry, I gotta go. You'll have to deal with this like the rest of us.(Phoebe hangs up.)[Cut tothe Police Station.]Darryl: Phoebe...(Darryl turns around and Sheridan is standing there.)Sheridan: Phoebe. Do I know her?Darryl: I don't know. Do you?[Cut tothe Manor. Attic. Paige is there with Drake. She is flipping through the Book of Shadows.]Drake: See? Right there. You have nothing to fear.Paige: What are youtalking about? It says that you have the power to fire a thermal blast that can knock out ten demons at a time.Drake: Yeah, but I told you. If I use them, then theSorcerer gets them, and that would be bad. It also says that I can be vanquished by the Power of Three. Hello. See? Right there. (He touches the Book.)What?Paige: You touched it.Drake: What?Paige: You touched the Book.Drake: Oh my god, so I did. I guess that means I'm good.(He touches the Bookagain.)Paige: Stop it. Maybe it does, and maybe it doesn't. The Book has been tricked before. So have we. Just recently, as a matter of fact.Drake: All right, then,that explains it. So what did this mistake cost you? A colleague? A friend? A lover?Paige: Actually, all of the above.Drake: No wonder you're so indecisive.Paige:I'm not indecisive. You think I'm indecisive?Drake: Paige, making mistakes is what makes us human.(Phoebe walks in.)Phoebe: Hey, sorry. I put the boys downfor a nap.

He leaves Owen with that.[SCENE_BREAK]INT. THE HUB - AUTOPSY AREAOwen is on the treadmill. Hisimage is up on the monitor as Martha tests him. The machine beeps. Owen stops it. He smiles.OWEN : So, you're choosing me over the boyfriend ? Owen stepsoff the treadmill and picks up the barbells. He starts lifting them. Martha goes to the treadmill to check the readings.MARTHA : Yeah, that's it. You really don'tneed to worry, you know, I don't want your job.OWEN : Yes, I know. You just find me irresistible.MARTHA (rolls her eyes) : Oh, yeah, that's it. Every morning Iwake up and think of ways to get you alone like this. (She goes back to the computer). There is no sign of any muscle decay. You're in great shape, asever.OWEN : Hmm, no use coming onto me, Jones. I'm a changed man.MARTHA : And... um, no stiffening anywhere ?OWEN : Well...MARTHA : Just answer thequestion.OWEN : No, no signs of rigor mortis. Owen puts the barbells down.OWEN : So, if I keep up the exercise, I won't atrophy ? She appears with thehand-held monitor and scans him.MARTHA : Yep. And bonus, definitely looks like you're not going to age either. There's no further sign of cell mutation. You're ahundred percent human. (She turns the monitor off). A hundred percent Owen. Owen nods. The intercom beeps.GWEN (from speaker) : Hi, Martha. Meeting inthe boardroom. Can you come down ?OWEN : You'd better go... Doctor.MARTHA : What about you ?OWEN : Cappuccino with chocolate sprinkles.MARTHA(smiles, confused) : What ?OWEN : That's what you drink, isn't it ? Suddenly, it's very awkward. Martha turns and leaves. Owen's smilefades.[SCENE_BREAK]INT. THE HUB - CONFERENCE ROOMEveryone except Owen is there.JACK : Henry John Parker. He used to be a looker. Now he's 80-oddand even I have my limits. The door opens. Owen walks in with a tray of coffee.JACK : Your basic millionaire collector of alien hoo-hah.OWEN (quietly) : Didn't wefile him in the \"mostly harmless\" category ? He puts a cup down in front of Ianto.MARTHA : So, what's the problem ? Owen continues setting coffee cups down onthe table.TOSHIKO : I detected this at 5:17 this morning. Parker's house. There's an energy spike coming from it. I've never seen anything like it before.GWEN :Okay. So, the big question is, what's our Mr. Parker gone and found this time ? Gwen and Ianto quietly switch coffee cups as Owen heads to the back of theroom.MARTHA : Why ? Do you think he's a threat ?GWEN : Well, he hasn't been up until now. (Owen wipes his tray as he listens). He's a bit Howard Hughes. Weknow he's there, we know he's not a threat. But as the story goes, he hasn't left the house since his wife died. Nobody's seen him since 1986.OWEN : We've beenmonitoring Parker for ages. There's nothing to be scared of is there ? Owen quickly sits down at the table with the others.

The procedure for diagnosing pinworms is to wait until the subject is asleep, and theworms crawl out of the rectum for air. (Leonard spits out food) Yes, just like that.

Leonard, is itawkward for you knowing that one of your dear friends had sexual intercourse with a woman you used to love in the very place you lay your head?Leonard: No,I'm fine with it.Sheldon: That sounds like sarcasm, but I'm going to disregard it, because I have an agenda. Paintball. Specifically, the interdepartmentaltournament this weekend. Now, in order to function better as a fighting unit, I thought we should establish a chain of command. Now, it goes without saying thatI would outrank the three of you, but the question remains, by how much? Now, I don't see me as some four-star general, back at HQ riding a desk and playinggolf with the Secretary of Defence. But I also can't be Sergeant Cooper, because that might lead you to think of me as just a regular Joe. This might take somethought. As you were.Leonard: What the hell is wrong with you?Howard: Yeah, how could you do that?Raj: What is it to you?Howard: I got his back.Raj: Yeah,right. You're just jealous because it turns out I'm Penny's number two choice after Leonard.Howard: Hey, if I wasn't engaged to Bernadette, that totally couldhave been me.Leonard: Please. Sheldon would have been before you, and he might not even have genitals.Raj: Why do you care so much? You're dating mysister, and Penny and I are in love.Leonard and Howard together: What?Sheldon: Gentlemen, if I may interject, I've decided my rank will be captain. If it's goodenough for Kirk, Crunch and Kangaroo, it's good enough for me.Howard: You're not in love with Penny.Raj: Yes, I am.

Now, what's up?Leonard: Well, uh, okay, um, I don't want to get back together with Penny. We tried it, itwas crazy, it didn't work, but I can't deal with the fact that she slept with my friend Raj. And then I find out that Raj's sister Priya, who I've been going out withfor eight months, is moving back to India.

That's what sent themaway.Phoebe: My closed heart? I do not have a closed heart.Cupid: Look, if people get the feeling that there's nothing there, then eventually it's hasta la vista,Phoebe. That explains the recent rush of cancelled dates.Prue: Okay, so wait, our past relationships, you made those happen?Cupid: Well, actually, myassignment here's only two years old.

I used to sit right here.Dwight: No way!Michael: Yeah.Dwight: And who had your office?[SCENE_BREAK]Michael: Ed Truck. [exclaiming isdisgust] Ed Truck was the manager before me. Horrible. He hated fun. It was like, \"Oh, Ed Truck is walking toward us. Stop having fun. Start pretending to dowork.\" What a jerk. He's... You know what? I swore to myself that if I ever got to walk around the room as manager, people would laugh when they saw mecoming and would applaud as I walked away.[SCENE_BREAK]Kelly: [to Jim] I'm serious. My closet doors will not shut. I mean, it only takes so long to measure tomake sure that clothes will hang up because aren't all hangers like that big? So I don't understand why the closet engineer didn't think of that. So now I'm doingthis new thing where I just leave piles of clothes on the floor and then I walk around the piles to get an outfit...[SCENE_BREAK]Michael: You know who used to sitat that desk?Dwight: That guy Miles who quit to form his own company?Michael: Mm-mm. Todd Packer.Dwight: No!Michael: Yeah.Dwight: I thought he was outon the road.Michael: He was, but, uh... that desk was empty. He'd come in and sit there sometimes.Dwight: Ah.[SCENE_BREAK]Michael: When I was in training,many years ago... not so long ago... I worked side-by-side with a fellow named Todd Packer, and together we rocked the office [picture behind Michael falls].Packer and I once spent the whole day with our pants off, and when people noticed, we convinced them that they were crazy.[SCENE_BREAK]Michael: I willgladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today.Stanley: [on phone] Excuse me one second, please. [to Michael] What is it that you need right now that you can'twait until I'm off the phone with a customer?Michael: Oh, a customer, well, sound the alarm. [laughs] Okay.[SCENE_BREAK]Michael: Another time, Packer heldthis guy's head in the toilet for like a minute. Guy had no sense of humor about it. Probably why he wasn't hired.[SCENE_BREAK]Creed: [after Michael puncheshim in the arm] What did you hit me for?Michael: Charley horse!Creed: What?Michael: Charley horse!Creed: You shouldn't have hit me, Michael.Michael: Oh,okay. Gah.[SCENE_BREAK]Michael: Once, as a joke, Packer banged every chick in the office.

I understand it [chuckles], it makes sense [regainscomposure] But it... it was still wrong.[SCENE_BREAK]Michael: Why would somebody ruin a perfectly good carpet? I don't know. It could be done out of hate. Itcould be done out of love. It could be completely neutral. Maybe somebody hates the cleaning lady. And, well, she doesn't do a very good job, obviously, becausemy office still reeks like you would not believe. I hate her.[SCENE_BREAK]Michael: You know what? I am beginning to think that what happened to my carpet wasan act of terrorism against the office. The only thing that makes any sense.[SCENE_BREAK]Dwight: [on phone] Hello, am I the 107th caller? [hangs up, dialsagain] Hello, Rock 107. Am I the 107th caller? [hangs up and dials again] Hell , Rock 107. Am I the 107th caller?

We could do a three-day weekend. I wonder if I could, like, call in sick on the Friday. Then I get a four-dayweekend.[SCENE_BREAK]Kelly: [to unseen co-worker] But it's so weird to fall asleep. And I just hate it. 'Cause I try to go to bed at, like,9:30.[SCENE_BREAK]Pam: [to Roy as Jim escapes into bathroom] Are you kidding?Roy: No.[SCENE_BREAK]Michael: Hi, guys.Angela: We haven't finishedgetting things in order from your last visit.Michael: I'm just walking around.Angela: Were you?Michael: Well, yeah.Oscar: It's just that we're really swamped overhere, Michael.Michael: Oh, and I'm not?

I'm gonna up the ante a little bit literally. Right here, I'm gonna put a crisp one hundred dollarbill. The person with the most sales at the end of the day gets to keep the cash. Sound good?Dwight: Yeah!Michael: [counting cash] Seventy, eighty, one, twothree. Eighty-three dollars. Still a lotta money and I'm going to ... [moves money after seeing workmen walk by] ... I'm gonna leave it right over here whereeverybody can see it. I will be taking Jim's clients today because he is not here and out of sight, out of the contest.

So what does that mean?Merlin: Erm....that, that she hasn't spoken to any townspeople.Gaius (lookspained): Yes, it suggests that the disease is not spread by contact.Merlin: Oh, and they probably ate different food.Gaius: Good.

I'll, I'll take care of it.Sheldon: Okay.Leonard: I mean it, I'm going to.Sheldon: I believe you.Leonard: And you're going tostay calm?Sheldon: I said I would.Leonard: How about that? Sheldon's being reasonable.Penny: Yeah, it's freaking me out. I'm gonna go. Creditssequence.Scene: The apartment.Leonard: So, when you say you're not going to freak out about the DVD, here's what that means. Don't fixate on it. Don't wakeme up in the middle of the night. Or nag me through the door while I'm on the toilet.Sheldon: Okay, first, talking to you while you're on the toilet isn't exactly apicnic for me either, okay? Remember, when you can hear me, I can hear you. And second, you completely disregard how uncomfortable unresolved issues arefor me. It's, it's like, a, an itch in my brain I can't scratch.Leonard: When I broke my arm I used to stick a coat hanger down there. You ever try that? Maybe go inthrough the ear?Sheldon: You wouldn't make jokes if you could feel the way I feel.Leonard: Well, I don't know how to do that.Sheldon: How about this? I promiseI won't pester you about the DVD. You can defecate in peace. That's a win for both of us. But, until this matter is resolved, I would like you to wear this sweater.With nothing underneath it.Leonard: That's stupid. Why?Sheldon: You say it's itchy and uncomfortable. I say situations like this make me feel the sameway.Leonard: I'm telling you, try the hanger.Sheldon: Put it on. Let's share the experience.Leonard: You got it. If this sweater shuts you up, I'm gonna make afortune selling them to everyone we know. Now all I need to do is head down to the video store and return the DVD.Sheldon: Oh, did I forget to tell you? Thatstore went out of business years ago.Leonard: Really?Sheldon: How those nipples feeling, chief?Scene: The cheesecake factory bar.Bernadette: Penny, can weplease get our drinks?Penny: Yeah, hang on, just give me sec.Amy: At work today, I did an in vivo stereotaxic surgery.Bernadette: Cool. At my lab, I performedten laser capture micro-dissections.Penny: I scraped gum off the bottom of that table. Only 'cause my manager saw me put it there.Amy: Oh, my gosh. That'sthe girl that broke Rajesh's heart.Bernadette: That's Lucy?Penny: I don't know why but I always pictured her as Indian.Bernadette: I think that reason's calledracism.Penny: I'm gonna go talk to her.Bernadette: Why? What are you gonna say?Penny: I'm not gonna say anything. I just want to check her out. Because shehurt my friend. My Indian friend. Who's racist now?Bernadette: You because you just called him your Indian friend.Penny: Yeah, well, you're short.Amy: We'renever getting our drinks.Bernadette: No, but we knew that.Penny: Hey, can I start you off with something to drink?Lucy: Oh, water would be great.Penny: Okay.Um, you're Lucy, right? I'm a friend of Raj Koothrappali's. Actually Amy recognized you.Lucy: Wow. How's he doing?Penny: Oh, you know, he's good.Lucy:Great.Penny: Yeah, this is none of my business. But why did you break up with him in an e-mail?Lucy: Oh, I don't know. I guess I thought it would beeasier.Penny: Yeah, I get that. I'll go get you your water. When you say easier, you mean easier for you, right? 'Cause it certainly didn't make it easier forhim.Lucy: Any chance I can get a different waitress?Penny: I'm sorry, this is rude of me. I will go get that water. See, see, see, see. Just now you expressed yourfeelings to my face. How come you could do that with me, but not Raj?Lucy: I don't know your e-mail.Penny: You know what the worst part is? You're sittinghere, perfectly happy and he's at home, a blubbering mess.Lucy: Oh, I thought you said he was okay.Penny: Well, I also said I was getting you water, but look atme still standing here. You know, I may be a bad waitress, but you are a bad person. Now, you want to hear the specials?Scene: The apartment.Howard: So, youcan never take it off?Leonard: No.Raj: Not even to sleep?Leonard: No.Howard: So, you're just an idiot?Leonard: It's called proving a point.Howard: Is the pointthat you're an idiot?Sheldon: Gentlemen, please. Leonard is trying to walk a mile in my metaphorical shoes. He can't walk in my actual shoes. He has the feet of atoddler.Raj: So, how are you gonna return the DVD if the store went out of business?Leonard: Monday morning I'll go downtown, look up the owner's informationand send him the DVD. Pay the late fee, and prove to Sheldon that you can have a problem and solve it without acting like a complete lunatic. Ah!Howard: Andthe man impersonating a bear would like everyone to know that only you can prevent forest fires.Raj: I don't get it.Howard: You didn't have Smokey the Bear inIndia?Raj: No. Oh, is he anything like, uh, Mun-Mun the Mongoose? He taught us not to play with cobras.Howard: You had to be taught not to play withcobras?Raj: You had to be taught not to burn down the forest?Scene: Penny's apartment.Penny: Hey, if you guys were hungry, why didn't you order something atthe restaurant?Bernadette: We did, you never brought it.Penny: Oh, that's right. Nachos and a turkey club.Amy: Not even close.Penny: Well, I was too busystanding up for my friend to worry about your, I want to say salmon.Amy: You want to say sorry.Bernadette: So, how are you gonna tell Raj abut what youdid?Penny: What do you mean how? What's the big deal?Amy: You told Lucy he was a pathetic mess.Bernadette: Then you made her cry and leave.Penny: Okay,you guys are overreacting. Raj is gonna appreciate how I had his back.Scene: The same, later.Raj: What is wrong with you, Penny? You ruined any chance I hadof getting back with Lucy. Now she knows I'm a desperate mess instead of just being pretty sure. (Phone text sound) It's Lucy. She wants to meet for coffee. Ilove you, Penny.Scene: Sheldon's office.Howard: Hey, what're you working on?Sheldon: I'm thinking about how one could use the fact that a rapidly rotatingmirror turns virtual photons into real ones as a method of observing dark energy.Howard: That's a pretty cool idea.Sheldon: Yeah. It's great you're here. I'd loveto get an engineer's opinion.Howard: Sure.Sheldon: This chair is squeaky. Now, do I fix it or get a new one?Leonard: Well, Sheldon, it took me all morning, but Ifound the owner of the video store. And I am happy to report that he died peacefully in his sleep, drunk at the bottom of a pool. Anyway, there is no one to returnthe DVD to, so this issue is resolved. Ah! And I'd just like to point out that even though the sweater was uncomfortable, I didn't use it as an excuse to antagonizeeveryone around me.Howard: You know, you could reimburse the video store owner's next of kin.Leonard: Or it's resolved.Sheldon: Hey, that next of kin thingsounds pretty good.Howard: I believe this is yours.[SCENE_BREAK]Scene: Howard and Bernadette's apartment.Raj: Can I ask you guys a question? So, I'mseeing Lucy tomorrow night, and I've never hung out with someone who broke up with me. How do you do it?Howard: You can't let her know you're hurting. Youknow, the key is confidence.Raj: Why is the key always confidence? How come it's never love handles and flop sweat?Bernadette: If this girl hurt you so much,are you sure you want to see her again?Howard: Well, if I may, he has so little self-respect and is so desperate for the smallest crumb of affection, she couldliterally sleep with his own father in his own bed and post the video to YouTube, and he'd still buy her flowers and ask her to be his bride.Raj: He's right. But inmy defence, if we could survive that, we could survive anything.Bernadette: Well, if you're sure you want to do this, it's only coffee, just relax and see whathappens.Raj: Well, can I say she looks nice?Bernadette: Sure.Raj: Can I tell her I miss her?Bernadette: Maybe, if she asks.Raj: Oh, can I show her an oil paintingI made of us surrounded by our children and grandchildren?Bernadette: I'd save that for the second date.Raj: Good, good. 'Cause no matter how hard I try, Icannot get the twins to look alike.Scene: Penny's apartment.Penny: What are you doing?Leonard: Oh, I'm just trying to find the stupid next of kin to this stupidvideo store owner so I can return the DVD and see the look on Sheldon's stupid face when he sees that I didn't let this get to me.Penny: Sheldon's not here. Whydon't you take the sweater off?Leonard: There's a principle at stake.Penny: Which is?Leonard: Oh, I don't know. Who cares? Look at me.Penny: Oh, my God! Isthat sweater made of bees? Come on, take it off. I won't tell.Leonard: No, no, honey, if I take it off, Sheldon wins.Penny: Sweetie, every night you don't kill himin his sleep, he wins.Leonard: No, it's, it's almost done. I just, I have to find the next of kin, and send 'em the DVD and then just wait for someone with mycomplexion to die so I can get a skin graft.Penny: Smile.Leonard: What is that? What is that for?Penny: So you can send it to Princeton and get your moneyback.Scene: The apartment.Amy: I must say, Sheldon, you're handling this DVD business with an impressive amount of maturity.Sheldon: I don't know why thatsurprises you. I'm a grown man. As should be evident by this sport coat and very real flower in my lapel.Amy: Is there some kind of new coping mechanismyou're employing?Sheldon: The more interesting question you should be asking is, what does this flower smell like?Amy: I'm gonna go with sad. So what's thestory with you and this DVD?Sheldon: There's nothing to tell. Maybe I purchased a book entitled Don't Sweat the Small Stuff and I followed its wise suggestions,"}

I'mhere to rescue you.(Hook begins to unlock her shackles.)Belle: Rescue me? Who are you?Hook: A friend. We haven't much time. Your father's life is in danger.He's being attacked by the very same monster who stole you away from your family in the first place.Belle: What, Rumpelstiltskin?Hook: The Dark One - he mustbe stopped. You spent more time with him than anyone. There are rumours of a magical weapon that has the power to kill him.Belle: No, no, no, no. Let... Let metalk to him. He's not a monster.Hook: Belle, your father's life hangs in the balance. I need to know what that weapon is, and where to find it.Belle: I don't knowwhat you're talking about, and I have no idea how to... How to kill Rumpelstiltskin.Hook: You don't?Belle: No. And... And nor would I.Hook: Hm. Then, I'm afraidI'm not here to rescue you.(He backhands Belle, rendering her unconscious.)Hook: So pretty... Yet, so useless.(Hook raises his arm, preparing to kill her with hishook, but is stopped by the Evil Queen. She enters the room and magically removes his hook.)Evil Queen: No. Not useless. She's a valuable chess piece.Hook: DoI look like I'm playing a game of chess? My hook, if you please.Evil Queen: No.Hook: The asking was me being a gentleman.Evil Queen: Is that any way toaddress a queen? Even a pirate should have better manners than that. Yes... I know who you are... Captain. I know why you came here from Neverland. And Iknow all about the crocodile you wish to skin.Hook: Then you also know, that I'll stop at nothing.Evil Queen: So dedicated and resourceful. No one has been ableto fight their way past my defenses before. She can't help you kill Rumpelstiltskin, Hook. But I can, if you do something for me. Care to join me for adrink?[SCENE_BREAK](The Evil Queen pours out two drinks and hands one to Hook.)Evil Queen: Things are about to change in this world. Radically. I have plansto enact a curse that will take everyone to a far-off land.Hook: How will that help me?Evil Queen: This new realm? It's a land without magic. Where the Dark Onewill be stripped of his powers. There, you won't need any magical weapon to kill him. You can do it with a mere flick of your wrist.Hook: Tell me what I have todo.Evil Queen: There's one person I don't want following me to this new land.

He needs true love's kiss. He won't wake up until Mary Margaret comes back.Mr. Gold: Until? Well, that's ratheroptimistic, isn't it?Regina: What are you talking about?Mr. Gold: They're up against your mother. The only chance Snow and Emma have of defeating her, is withthe squid ink.Regina: Which is why you sent the message through David.Mr. Gold: Which would be beneficial, if we knew that message were delivered. But alas,given the Prince's condition, we don't know. As such, it's important we take precautions. We have to consider the possibility that, when that portal opens, it won'tbe his family that come through. It'll be Cora.Regina: And neither one of us wants that.Mr. Gold: We have to find where they're coming through, and destroy thatportal.Regina: But whoever came through would die.Mr. Gold: Exactly. But, I'm confident between the two of us, we can summon up enough magic to completethe task.Regina: Well, what if we're wrong? What if that portal opens up, and it's not my mother? What if Mary Margaret and Emma do defeat Cora, and gothrough it?Mr. Gold: Well, I believe in this world, they call that a win-win.Regina: How exactly is that?Mr. Gold: If we stop Cora, you are protected from yourmother's wrath. If, on the other hand, we stop Snow and Emma, well... You become the only mother in your son's life, now don't you? Look, magic isunpredictable in this world. If something unfortunate were to happen while you were attempting to help... Henry could hardly blame you for that, couldhe?Regina: No. I can't lie to him. I am trying to be a better mother.Mr. Gold: You won't be able to be a better anything if Cora comes through. And if she does,she will be a threat to everyone - including your son. So, if you truly want to be a good mother to Henry - to protect him - if you want to be better, proveit.-[Fairy Tale Land - Present]-(Mary Margaret and company arrive at Rumpelstilskin's cell.)MMB: Rumpelstiltskin's cell.

Come on.(Inside, they find the cell completelyempty.)Aurora: The squid ink - it's not here.MMB: Gold said we would find it.(They begin to check the crevices of the walls.)Mulan: Well, was there anyone else inhere with him? Could they have taken the ink?MMB: No, he was kept alone. Visitors were forbidden. He was too dangerous to allow any human contact.Emma:How'd he keep from going crazy?(Aurora finds a piece of paper tucked into the wall.)Aurora: He didn't.MMB: What is it?Emma: Is that a message?Aurora: Yes.And I think it's for you.(Aurora hands Emma the paper.)Emma: Why would you think... That.(On the paper, 'Emma' is written over and over again, and nothingelse.)-[Storybrooke]-(Henry is reading the 'Snow White' story to David from his book.

Should suit our purposes, no?Regina: How much do we need?Mr. Gold: All of it.Regina:How are we going to do that?Mr. Gold: With a little help from a fairy.(He takes out a wand.)Mr. Gold: Dead one.

I believeyou've seen it done before.Hook: Yes.Evil Queen: The enchantment will only allow you to rip out one heart, so make sure you do it right.Hook: What could shehave possibly done to warrant such brutality?Evil Queen: That's my business. Yours is to kill her, and bring her body back to me.Hook: Easy enough. When will Iset forth on this murderous journey?Evil Queen: Immediately. But you won't be going alone.(She walks over to the sitting area, where there is a blanket coveringsomething large on the chair. She pulls it back, revealing a corpse.)Evil Queen: You remember Claude?Hook: Can't say that I do.Evil Queen: You killed him in thecell block.Hook: Ah, yes. I didn't recognize him without my hook in his neck. Forgive me, but isn't he a bit of dead weight?Evil Queen: I banished my mother to afar-off land some time ago. You're going to need a portal to get to her.(She pulls out the hat box containing Jefferson's hat.)Evil Queen: The rules are simple -one goes in, one comes back. Or, in this case, two in, two back. You'll arrive with Claude, and you'll return with my mother.Hook: Now tell me... Which far-offland do I have the pleasure of visiting today?Evil Queen: Wonderland.Hook: Happily named, I'm sure.

In her native land, she goes by Cora.(The crowd begins to whisper asthe use of the name 'Cora'.

Leaveus.(Everyone exits, leaving Cora and Hook alone.)Cora: Your name, pirate?Hook: Hook.Cora: What a clever nickname.(Hook pulls a pearl necklace out of hispocket and approaches Cora.)Hook: I come bearing gifts, if you allow me.Cora: This hat - your portal... If I understand correctly, the same number who travelsthrough, must also return. You arrived with him, but who shall you return with?Hook: You.(Hook throws the necklace over his shoulder, and plunges his handinside her chest. However, nothing happens.)Hook: What?Cora: I'm the 'Queen' of Hearts. Do you really think I'd be so careless, as to keep my heart whereeveryone else does? This...(Cora sticks her hand into Hook's chest, causing him to grimace in pain.)Cora: Is how it's done. Tell me - who did this? Who sent youhere to kill me? Who?Hook: Your daughter.Cora: Regina?

Behind him to his left a door opens, and a school custodian comes out with a trashcan.Custodian: Can I help you?Philip: Rupert Giles! I need to seehim!Custodian: Mr. Giles, uh, he's our librarian. Next building over, first door on your left. Philip rushes off without a word of thanks.Custodian: (sarcastically)You're welcome. (dumps the trash) Philip continues at his brisk pace and finds the outside library door. He continues toward it, but stops in his tracks when hehears a twig being crushed behind him and turns to look. He hears a moan, but sees nothing and checks the other way again. Behind him he hears breathing andturns back again, and sees a woman in the shadows.Philip: Oh, God! Slowly she walks into the light. She is dead and rotting. Her eyes flash yellow briefly.Philip:Diedre?Diedre: Philip. Philip quickly backs up and doesn't see the curb behind him. He trips over it and falls, dropping his briefcase. He scrambles to his feet andruns to the library door. He pounds on it and yanks at the doorknob, but it's locked.Philip: Help! Help! Somebody, please! Diedre slowly advances on him.Philip:(to himself) God, no! (loud) Help! Cut inside. Buffy is doing step aerobics to a techno beat. Giles is sitting at the table with his hands to his ears, not relishing themusic.

This is noise.Buffy: I'm aerobicising! I must have a beat!Giles: (under the music) Wonderful. You work on your muscle tone while my braindribbles out of my ears. Cut outside. Philip is still pounding on the door.Philip: Help! Help! Please! Diedre continues to advance on him.Philip: Help me, somebody,please! Diedre has closed the gap.

She puts her hands up to the door on either side of him to prevent his escape.He trembles with fear as she moves her hands onto his neck and begins to choke him. Cut inside. Buffy has finished her aerobics. She strolls to the table andturns off her boom box.Giles: Ahhh! Very good. And the rest is silence. Cut outside. Philip falls from Diedre's grip, dead.

He's actuallystill bitter that there are only twelve grades.Buffy: He probably sat in math class thinking, 'There should be more math. This could be mathier.'Willow: C'mon, youdon't think he ever got restless as a kid?Buffy: Are you kidding? His diapers were tweed. Xander chuckles. Buffy sees Giles about to walk by and calls out tohim.Buffy: Giles!Giles: (turns and sees them) Oh! There you are. (comes over)Buffy: Hey, morning. Say, is that tweed?

Actually that, that part usually gets left out. (smiles) I c-can't imagine why.Jenny:This weekend.Giles: Would you like to go out?Jenny: Mm, no, I think I'd like to stay in. They draw together for a kiss as the bell rings. They touch lips, but breakit off as students begin pouring into the halls.Giles: Uh, this, (clears his throat) Saturday, then.Jenny: Saturday night. (clears her throat) I'll see if I can make yousquirm. They look at each other for a moment before Giles heads off to his library.Cut to the library. Giles walks in to discover a detective and two police officersthere.Det. Winslow: Rupert Giles?Giles: Yes?Det. Winslow: Detective Winslow. You're gonna have to come with me.Giles: Why?Det. Winslow: There was ahomicide on campus last night. The victim had no identification, but he was carrying this slip of paper with your name and address on it. (holds up the slip in abaggie)Giles: (sets down his briefcase) My name? Cordelia walks into the library.Cordelia: Well, evil just compounds evil, doesn't it? First I'm sentenced to acomputer tutorial on Saturday, now I have to read some computer book... There are books on computers? Isn't the point of computers to replace books?Giles:(cuts her off) Cordelia, I'm a little busy right now. (points out the detective)Cordelia: Oh! Great! (steps up to Det. Winslow) Can you help me with a ticket? It'stotally bogus. It was a one-way street. I was going one way.Giles: (raised voice) Cordelia!Cordelia: What?! Why does everyone always yell my name? I'm notdeaf! And I can take a hint. (unsure) What's the hint?Giles: To come back later.Cordelia: Yeah, when you've visited decaf land. (leaves)Giles: (to Det. Winslow)Where do you want me to go?Cut to the city morgue. The coroner opens one of the body storage doors and pulls out the drawer.Attendant: Have you had yourbreakfast?Giles: No.Attendant: That was probably a good idea. He pulls back the sheet to reveal Philip's body. It's bruised all over, with two especially darkbruises on the throat. Giles looks down at him in recognition.Det. Winslow: Do you know him?Giles: (whispers) Yes. Yes. I-I mean, I did. His name's Philip Henry.He was a friend of mine in London. I... I haven't spoken to him in twenty years.Det. Winslow: Can you think of any reason why he might've wanted to contactyou?Giles: No. He sees the tattoo on Philip's right arm near the inside elbow.Det. Winslow: Do you know what that is? The tattoo.Giles: (lies) No. No, I don't.Cutto the hospital ER entrance that night. Buffy is waiting on Giles.Buffy: (exhales) 'Don't be late.' Sheesh. She walks over to a pay phone to try calling, but stopswhen she sees the blood van pull up. The driver gets out with his clipboard as two ER doctors come out to meet him.Driver: Hey, fellas.Doctor: Hey.Buffy: All'swell that ends with cute ER doctors, I always say. She watches them go to the back of the van and get out the insulated container. They start back with thedriver, and he gets back into the van. Buffy realizes something's wrong.Buffy: Since when do doctors take deliveries? The van backs out of the ambulance slot.The doctors wave to the driver.Doctor: See ya. The van drives off, and behind it a car engine starts and a pair of headlights come on. The old convertible pulls upinto the light as the doctors set the container down. One of them opens the lid, takes out a bag of blood and begins to suck on it. The driver of the car getsout.Driver: Hey! No sampling the product! The doctor vampire hisses, but puts the bag back down and drops the lid closed. Buffy runs to attack. She kicks thefirst doctor vampire down, then the second, and does a roundhouse kick to the driver's face. The first one gets up, and she tries kicking him again, but he grabsher leg and throws her onto the hood of the car. She scissor kicks him in the neck, and he staggers away and falls. A fourth vampire runs up as Buffy gets up andtakes out a stake. She turns to attack him.Buffy: Angel!Angel: Buffy! Look out! He jumps up onto the car's hood and leaps off to tackle the driver vampire coming"}

This is awarranted search.Jack: May I see that?Agent: (hands Jack a piece of paper) We've been authorized to confiscate all relevant materials.Jack: It's been signed byDirector Chase. Sydney's apartment. Director Chase and CIA agents knock on the door and Sydney answers.Chase: Where's your sister?Sydney: What?Chase: Iexpect your full cooperation.

What does she think Nadia did?Chase: (to Nadia) We know you overrode the DSR security system tonight.Nadia: What?Chase: Alarms onan access door were deactivated. We traced the override command to your laptop. And you just told me that you're the only one who uses it.Nadia: Yes, but Ididn't do it.Chase: We also have evidence that tonight's incident isn't the only one that leads back t o you and this laptop.

Jack and Sloane enter theapartment.Jack: (to an agent standing at the door) We have clearance.Sydney: Micro transmitter?Chase: In the medallion. When did she give you this?Nadia:Few weeks ago. Why should Sophia do something like that?Jack: It would help explain why several missions were compromised.Sloane: I personally investigatedSophia Vargas when she first arrived. Prints, background- everything came back clean.Chase: Well, somebody tapped into Agent Santos's laptop. And because ofit, five agents are dead. And several Rambaldi artifacts are gone.Nadia: I don't believe it. I won't.Sydney: Why would she do this?Jack: I think our clue lies inwhat was stolen.Sloane: You're reaching for straws, Jack.Jack: Am I? Who else would be capable of pulling this off?Chase: What are you talking about?Jack:Elena.Sydney: You think Sophia Vargas is connected to Elena Derevko?Jack: No. I think Sophia Vargas is Elena Derevko. Arvin and I have been searching for herfor months. I believe she found us first. Has been using us to achieve her own end.Sydney: You mean the journal of Vaughn's father, Sloane Clone-Jack:McCullough, everything. It's been Elena all along.Sydney: Oh, my God.Nadia: You're saying it's all a lie? That she spent all these years, all this time, so she couldsteal some Rambaldi artifacts?Jack: She is a Derevko. Her sisters possessed that same single-minded purpose.Sloane: If Jack is right, if Elena has gatheredRambaldi artifacts, her final step would be to assemble them. We can't let that happen. APO Sloane's office. Nadia walks in.Nadia: She never made it to theairport. The cab dropped her off a few blocks from our house.Sloane: Have Marshall check traffic cams in the area.Nadia: I already did. I also notified the FFA tocheck flight manifests, and I updated train and bus stations with her current I. D.Sloane: Good. We'll find her.Nadia: I brought her into my house. This is myfault.Sloane: No, Nadia, it's mine. It was my obsession with Rambaldi that pulled you into this. It's my mess. It's my responsibility to clean it up. I can onlyimagine how hard this must be for you- the betrayal.Nadia: I'm just glad we found her. That I know the truth.Sloane: Yeah. So, if Elena has all the Rambaldipieces, there is only one place she can go.Nadia: To see Lazlo Drake.Sloane: Yes.Nadia: I'm on it.Sloane: Nadia? We'll find her. I promise you. I will end this.China, one year earlier. Nadia and Sloane are in a car, being driven.Nadia: I don't understand. Why are we in China when I already told you Rambaldi's sphere oflife is buried in Siena?Sloane: Because I need answers to a few final questions. Lazlo Drake is the only man in the world who can provide that. The car stops,there are people passing with animals, in the road.Driver: (in foreign language) Sorry, sir, it will be a few minutes.Sloane: (to driver in foreign language) Okay.(to Nadia in English) Before he went into hiding, Drake was a professor of European history. He built his reputation on the single most important discovery of hislife- a manuscript. In effect, a template describing how Rambaldi's creations were to be assembled in order to bring forth his final prophecy. Just know that we'regonna make the world a better place, and we need Drake to do it. Later, nighttime outside, somewhere. We meet Drake.Sloane: Professor Drake, my nameis-Drake: Arvin Sloane. Yes.Sloane: You know who I am?Drake: How could I possibly not know of you, Mr. Sloane? Your appetite for all things Rambaldi is almostlegendary.Sloane: This is my daughter, Nadia.Drake: My God. (he looks at her) I am honored to meet you.Nadia: Thanks.Drake: Lovely. Please. (they sit downaround the campfire on various logs) You have no idea what it is like to be in your presence. It is like meeting the virgin Mary.Nadia: What do you mean?Sloane:Drake, you know why we're here.Drake: You have collected the Sphere of Life.Sloane: No, not yet. But we know where it is.Drake: If it is not in your possession,we have nothing to discuss.Sloane: You have the only known translation of Rambaldi's Vademecum- instructions for how the pieces fit together. I need toknow.Drake: That is information I will share with whoever has all the artifacts in his possession. Your visit is premature, Mr. Sloane. I suggest you come back,when you have retrieved all the items, including the Sphere. (to Nadia, he takes her hand) You will come back too, won't you? I would like that.Sloane: (breakstheir hands apart) Nadia, I wonder if you would let me speak to the professor alone. (Nadia gets up and walks away)Drake: I never thought I would see, let alonetouch with my own hands, a living embodiment.Sloane: My daughter is not an artifact.Drake: So protective of her.Sloane: She is my daughter.Drake: Youbrought her on this journey for one reason- only she can retrieve the Sphere of Life. Only she knows its secret location. You know that.Sloane: I didn't come thisfar to quit. Siena Sloane and Nadia are wandering around on some hills.Nadia: This is it. (they enter a cave, and walk down some stairs)Sloane: Rambaldi wrotethat a man would come and discover the true meaning of his work. And in doing so would change the world. I always wanted to be that man. They come to aroom. Sloane lights a torch, which causes the other torches to light up. We see a Rambaldi eye made up of small shards of glass. In the center of the eye is astand holding the Sphere of Life.Sloane: It's made of glass. Think of it. You and I are the first ones to set foot in here in almost 500 years. Do you have any ideahow many lesser people have dreamed of this moment? And only you can complete this.Nadia: What?Sloane: Nadia, this is the part of the journey that I can'ttake. You have to bring the box.Nadia: I don't understand.Sloane: Rambaldi had a role for you to play. I need you to do this Nadia. I need you to bring me thatSphere. Nadia, we can change the world. Go. (pause) Go. Nadia steps out carefully onto the glass. You can hear the shards scraping against each other.Sloane:Have faith, sweetheart. (She reaches the stand) Yes. (she opens the box) No, Nadia. Bring the box to me. Nadia touches the box and sees visions of whathappens in the finale. Includes Sydney and Nadia fighting, the red ball, and the sound of a horse neighing.Nadia: (to Sloane) You lied. It was not about peace."}

Good to see you, sir.Bill sits down in the chair infront of the other mike.Bill: Sorry I was late.Frasier: That's quite all right.Bill: I was just talking to an old friend.Frasier: Yes.Noel passes by the window andflashes Bill the Vulcan \"Live Long and Prosper\" sign. Bill gives him a thumbs up as Frasier and Roz share a surprised look.Frasier: Well, I've got so many questionsto ask you, why don't we just dive right in? I've been wondering, when did you first become a fan of my show?Roz: Excuse me, Warren from Kirkland is on linetwo.Frasier: Yes, Roz, I won't be taking any calls until after Mr. Gates has left.Roz: Actually, it's for Mr. Gates.Frasier: Well, go ahead, caller, you're on with Mr.Bill Gates.Warren: [v.o.] Yeah, hi, Mr. Gates. I bought your new Windows XP program and I'm about to install it as an upgrade. Do I have to make a bootdisk?Bill: That's a very good question, you don't need to make a boot disk. You just put the CD in and it'll upgrade.Frasier: I hope that answers your question,Warren...Bill: It's a feature of XP, very quick, very smooth. Hey, this is fun.Frasier: Thank you for calling, Warren. Now, where were we?Roz: Can Mr. Gates takea few more calls? The board is lighting up!

He's takingover my show!Roz: Don't you think you're exaggerating just a bit?Bill: Who do we have next, Roz?Roz: We have Bob, from Freemont. He has a question about hislaptop.Bill: Go ahead, Bob, I'm listening.The others happily watch as Frasier stands there, fuming. FADE OUT. Scene 2 - Frasier's ApartmentFade in. Frasiercomes into his bedroom, lays his jacket on the bed and opens his briefcase. He takes out a tape.Frasier: Two thousand shows.He walks to the armoire and opensit, revealing a collection of all his shows. He put the tape in the next open slot and reverently passes a hand across the collection. Niles calls from the livingroom.Niles: Hurry up, Frasier, we're gonna miss the reservations!Frasier: Yeah, I'll be right there.He goes to his dressing room and puts on a different jacket.Coming back, he closes the armoire and heads for the living room, only to stop short, a disturbed look on his face. He goes back and opens up the armoire, thenjerks in shock and gasps.CUT TO: the living room. Niles, Daphne and Martin are waiting for Frasier.Daphne: Two thousand shows. That's quite a milestone.Niles:It certainly is. Can anyone tell me what happened today? I forgot to listen.Martin: I just listened for five minutes in case he asks me what my favorite partwas.Daphne: I just say the call from Tacoma. There's bound to be a call from Tacoma.Frasier comes out.Frasier: Excuse me, could I see all of you in my room forjust a jiff? They follow him off.Martin: But I'm hungry!CUT TO: Frasier's room as the all come in.Frasier: Okay, are we all here? Good.Martin: What'swrong?Frasier: Something is amiss.He dramatically opens the armoire.Niles: I'll say. I always thought that was a sweater cubby.Frasier: Well it's not. It's acollection of all my shows. I was just examining my collection when I realized that someone had placed one of my tapes upside down.Martin gasps.Martin: Whatkind of sick, twisted... well, turn it right side up and let's go eat! You probably did it yourself!Frasier: All right, conceivably, but... I guarantee you I would neverremove my tape from the case and replace it with \"The Best of Hall and Oates.\" All right, I won't be mad, just tell me: who did this?The others just standthere.Frasier: Nobody did this?Martin: Tell you what, I did it. Now can we go eat?Frasier: Not so fast, Dad. Okay, let's examine the evidence.The others all let outgroans. Martin sits down on the bed, Niles takes the desk chair, Daphne wanders back.Frasier: A Hall and Oates tape. That rules you out, Dad. And it definitelyrules out Niles.Daphne: [in tears] Dr. Crane...Frasier: Or does it? Perhaps the tape is just a red herring, meant to throw me off the scent. A psychological game.There's only one of you that would combat me on that level.Daphne: I did it.Frasier: Ah-ha!Niles: You can't say \"Ah ha\", you thought it was me.Frasier: Why'dyou do it, Daphne?Daphne: I didn't mean to. I was trying to listen to a tape in that boom box you gave me for Christmas. Only I wasn't getting any sound and Ididn't know if it were the tape or the boom box and I didn't have any other tapes so I grabbed one of your tapes just to test the boom box out and it turns out itwas the boom box after all. Only then I couldn't get it out of the boom box so I used a screwdriver to pry it out and I broke the tape, I'm so sorry.She sits downon the bed in tears, Niles gets up to comfort her.Niles: There, there, Daphne...Frasier: Stand down, Niles.He sits on the bed next to Daphne.Frasier: Daphne, doyou realize what you've done? This isn't like any other tape you can go down to your local music shop and purchase, it's unique. And irreplaceable.Niles: Can'tyou just get the station to make you a copy?Frasier: Unless I get the station to make me another copy. Which of course I can. The only transgression here is thatDaphne didn't come to me with the truth.Daphne: I'm so sorry, Dr. Crane, I will never to you lie again.Frasier: Well, if that's what you've learned, it was all worthit. So, what are we all sitting here for. I believe we all have a two thousandth show to celebrate.Frasier closes the armoire and they all get up and head out thedoor.Niles: Hear, hear.Frasier: So, did you all listen?Niles: Oh, did we.Martin: Great.Daphne: I especially liked that call from Tacoma.Frasier: Oh, whichone?[SCENE_BREAK]Scene 3 - KACL Fade in. Frasier and Roz enter a room filled with boxes.Frasier: You know, in nine years this is the first time I've been downto the archives.Roz: Oh, my God, I remember this place.Frasier: Really?Roz: I came down here once after a Christmas party.Frasier: Whatever for?Roz: Well, Ihad a little too much champagne, and you know how you get a little lonely around the holidays?Bulldog comes from the back and smacks Roz on herbackside.Bulldog: Brings back memories, huh, Roz?Frasier: Bulldog!Bulldog: That was some Christmas, huh? When Santa left a bit of Bulldog in yourstockings?Roz: You're disgusting!Bulldog: What, I went too far? Why don't you come back here, I'll slip you an apology.Roz slaps him.Bulldog: Bulldog's still gotit!Frasier: Bulldog, what the hell are you doing here?Bulldog: Oh, this is my new job. I, uh, catalogue the archive. You know, I clean up a bit. But I figure I'll beback on the air in no time, as long as I attack this job with my trademark \"Can Do\" attitude.Frasier: Great, then. We're looking for a copy of my show, episode893.Bulldog: No can do.Frasier: What?Bulldog: What? I've only been here an hour, I don't even know where the john is. Where's my Powerbar? I had a Powerbarhere.SOMEONE STOLE MY POWERBAR! THIS STINKS! THIS IS TOTAL B.S.! THIS IS... oh, here it is.He grabs it and goes out the back door.Roz: Frasier, here's abox marked \"Best of Crane\".Frasier: Oh, thanks Roz, let's have a look. Ah, good.He opens the box and finds it almost empty.Frasier: There's just a few tapes inhere. All right, keep looking. Kenny comes in.Kenny: Oh, hey, Doc.Frasier: Kenny, just the man I was looking for. Listen, where are all the tapes of my showskept?Kenny lifts the lid of the box.Kenny: You got 'em. Right there.Roz: Well, where are the rest of them?Frasier: Yes!Kenny: There are no rest. We record overthem. I mean, look around, Doc, we've got a space problem down here.Bulldog comes in the back door.Bulldog: Hey, Kenny, where do you want me to put thesesnow tires?Kenny: Oh, put 'em right to my kids' bikes.He happily heads out the door. FADE OUT.IT'S A FANCY WAYTO SAY \"FAVOR\"Scene 4 - KACL Fade in.Frasier is on the air.Frasier: Good afternoon, Seattle. Before we go to the phones, I have a boon to ask of you. If any of you happens to have in your possession atape of my broadcast from June 14, 1996, I am in need of a copy. You see, I understand that from time to time, people who call into my show record it, perhapsin order to review my advice or even to play it for some friends. Now, I realize this is a bit of a long shot, but it is the only missing tape of my collection and"}

Are-are you sure?Sheila: I'm positive. I even asked him about it, if he was gonna make it go away, and that's when he just lost it. He toldme to stay out of it and stay away from you girls from now on. Did something happen that I don't know about?Phoebe: A couple of weeks ago, Darryl got reallyscared when he was trying to cover up for us, and we felt horrible, you know, but obviously, it really affected him.Sheila: Enough not to cover for Chris?Phoebe:He got really scared. Maybe you just need to give him some time.Sheila: Yeah, but that doesn't help you right now, and it doesn't help Chris.

You can't hold a grudge.Chris: Hey, as long as he's not Ruler of All Evil, I'm cool.Leo: I'm serious. He's gonnabe different. Good. He's not gonna remember he wasn't. So if you really want to change the future, you gotta start with a clean slate.Chris: Okay. Okay, I get it.How about you? Are you starting with a clean slate?Leo: How do you mean?Chris: Like you and mom. Look, all I'm saying is I'd like to know where you two areheaded before I go back, that's all.Leo: It's complicated. I'm an Elder. I made a commitment.Chris: So? It's not like you haven't broken the rules before. I'mliving proof of that.Leo: Yeah. We'll see. Listen, we have enough of this stuff if you want to try a dry run before everybody gets here. What do you think?Chris:Yeah. Let's do it.(Leo throws the potion at the triquetra. Before it hits the wall, the potion breaks. Leo and Chris fold their arms.)Leo: That should have worked.I'll get you home, buddy, I promise.(Leo turns away. After a moment, Chris does too.

Hey, itlooks like we're gonna need that spell after all. Is there an echo in here?Gideon: It's poor acoustics. Have Piper gather her sisters, and I'll get the spell.Leo: Okay.You know, I don't understand what happened. That potion should have worked.Gideon: Like I said, time travel is tricky. You will still be escorting your son?Leo:Well, I think so. I think it's safest, don't you?Gideon: Absolutely. Gather everyone together. I'll be right along.(Leo leaves.

I amdone covering for you. Done. Now if you'll excuse me.(Darryl tries to walk past them, but Phoebe stops him.)Phoebe: Darryl, think about it. Okay? The cops aregonna come for Chris, and what are they gonna find? They're gonna find a little itsy-bitsy baby.Paige: And then they're gonna find us, which risksexposure.Darryl: Well, maybe you should have thought of that before you broke Chris out of jail. Inspector Sheridan thinks that Chris' breakout was an inside job,which, if I'm not careful, could point back to me. I've got a family to think about, too, you know. (He sees Inspector Sheridan.)

It would make myjob easier.Cami: I am not a serial killer, and while you're wasting time with me, the real murderer is still out there.Will: Well, if I'm missing something, show me.Prove to me you're the victim, and I will protect you.Lucien: Ah, ah, ah, ah. A cold-blooded killer? Camille, what a shocking turn of the cards!Cami: (Gasps)Ahh.Will: You should rest. We've got a big day ahead of us.Lucien: There we are.[SCENE_BREAK]Hey, Davina. It's me. I, um... I'm running a little late. I shouldbe there soon. On second thought, I'll be a little longer.(Clattering)You're not very good at tailing, are you? My talents lie elsewhere. Ah! Unh!Aah!(Groans)(Chokes)(Growls)Agh![SCENE_BREAK]Elijah: Ah, yes. Drinking with Rebekah. Always an adventure.(Grunts)Freya: You seem more annoyed thanusual.Elijah: It's Aurora. Her influence frightens me, and yet our hideously deluded brother seems to believe that she might be the key to ending this wretchedprophecy.Freya: If she's aligned with her brother, what chance does Nik have?Elijah: None. Still, Niklaus believes that she can be swayed, although hisperspective of family loyalty is schizophrenic at best.Freya: Well, I don't get why Lucien and Tristan are working together. Aren't their sire lines directenemies?Elijah: Well, a mutual lack of goodwill toward our family might not be entirely unjustified. Hatred's a hell of a thing, Freya.Freya: Why? All you did wassire them. They don't seem to be complaining. Elijah... What exactly did you do?Elijah: I compelled Lucien to believe that he was Niklaus, Aurora to believe thatshe was Rebekah, and Tristan myself... After I'd sired him of course. This had been a period of mayhem for us. It was the 11th century, father was hunting usmercilessly, so I compelled them, and then I told them to run.Freya: You made them bait.Elijah: Not the kindest thing I ever did, if I'm perfectly Frank with you,Freya. So while we found respite in the sleepy, yet charming vineyards of Tuscany, father hunted the decoy Mikaelson children to the far reaches of Europe forthe better part of a century. Then we were inconveniently daggered. The compulsion was broken, here we are. How's the head?Freya: Spinning. I don't think it'sthe hangover.Elijah: Freya, something you must understand about this family. Under threat, we take action, for better or worse, whatever it takes to protect ourown.Freya: So you're telling me their days are numbered.Elijah: If indeed they're working against us, yes, without question. Perhaps a little hair of the dog mightbe more effective, wouldn't you say? What is it?Freya: Something's wrong. We need to call Rebekah now.[SCENE_BREAK](Jazz playing)Aurora: What a lovelynecklace. That emerald would really flatter my eyes, don't you think?Woman: I think my necklace would flatter your eyes.Aurora: Thank you. You shouldn'thave.Klaus: Will you be taking candy from a toddler next?Aurora: If I should happen to be in the mood for something sweet.Klaus: Come with me. And don'tworry. I promise I won't bite.Aurora: So am I to receive a stern talking to for my poor behavior?Klaus: On the contrary. I've cleared my calendar for the day. Iwant to show you my city.Aurora: Is this your attempt to discern whose side I'm on.Klaus: I'd love to know whose side you're on, but it would be rude of me toask such blunt discourse from so beautiful a woman without first buying her lunch. Wouldn't you agree?Aurora: Well, it does seem like most men have lost theirmanners these days. That shall be lovely.Klaus: Heh.[SCENE_BREAK](Moans)Lucien: I took the liberty of removing your handcuffs... Unless you're the type thatlikes to be restrained. Please take it. Consider it an apology for the rough start to our day. I see no reason we cannot begin anew.Cami: I only drink with friends,and, unless this isn't abundantly clear, I don't like you.Lucien: Fair enough. Later on, I Hope you'll remember this all could have gone so much easier. DetectiveKinney, come on in and start cutting up the mirepoix.Cami: You compelled him?Kinney: What the hell is going on?Lucien: Why don't you focus on the cutting? Wedon't want you to lose any fingers while we talk. Did you know that Will's mother's side is full of chefs? He's going to make us his grandmother's Grillades andGrits I took the liberty of texting your nosey friend Vincent on your behalf. After leaving police care without incident, he believes you have a date with \"the realhousewives\" at home in your PJs.Cami: What the hell kind of point are you trying to make?Lucien: Detective, do me a favor. Throw your blade at her prettyface.Cami: Ohh!Lucien: Now that I have your attention, my point is simple. I'm looking for a particular dark object, a small bronze medallion with runic markings.Since you're on vervain, I'm going to ask nicely that you help me find it. Should you refuse, the parlor tricks will get increasingly less fun. Carry on. There's agirl.[SCENE_BREAK]Elijah: She's still not answering.Freya: Touve mon se kavo. Touve mon se kavo. There's nothing to connect to. She's gone.Elijah: What doyou mean she's gone?Freya: I can't find her, which means her witch body, her connection to magic, it's as if it just vanished.[SCENE_BREAK]Rebekah: (Gasps)Bloody hell.Rebekah: Not only did you slit my throat, you stole my bloody phone.(Footsteps)Aya: Hello, Rebekah.Rebekah: Aya, of course. Elijah's little protege.Let me guess. You were tasked with finding my Original body, you couldn't do your job, so you did this to my other one to lure me out. Clever but ill-advised. Yousee, I needed that body, and now you owe me a hell of a lot more than an apology.Aya: I don't owe you anything. I'm here to claim the unattended Mikaelson. Ionly had chains enough for one of you.Rebekah: Heh. Is that all you brought?Aya: I met your special friend... Marcel Gerard. It's been amusing getting to knowhim. Maybe I'll send him one of your heads as a souvenir.Rebekah: Enough with the idle chit-chat. Are you gonna throw the first punch or what?Aya: Respect myelders. You first.[SCENE_BREAK]Lucien: Mmm. I find the Cajun cuisine almost as delicious as their people. Well done, William.Kinney: Not like I had achoice.Lucien: Hmm.Kinney: The moment I do, I'm gonna use this knife, I'm gonna stab you in the heart.Cami: You couldn't if you tried. You've been compelledto do everything he says. It's like hypnosis. Vampires use it against humans to do their bidding.Kinney: We're using the \"V\" word now? Great. Might as wellembrace the insanity. What else you gonna force us to do?Lucien: Well, Camille here consumes vervain, so I can't force her to do anything, but in exchange forpreventing future bloodshed, I'd ask that you find me that pretty, little medallion.Cami: Like I've told you, I have cataloged everything. What you're looking for isnot here.Lucien: It's there. Just hidden, built into something else. Find it!Cami: And then what? Some shiny ornament helps you get your revenge on Klaus? Don'ttell me this is all because he stole your girl.Lucien: He did a lot more than steal my girl, Camille. He stole 100 years of my life. Now that gives me a thought. Lossis a great motivator. Slice open your arcuate artery.Cami: No!Kinney: Ugh!Lucien: Ooh. That's a nasty wound. He'll bleed out if that's not treated. Tick-tock,Camille.[SCENE_BREAK]Aurora: Mmm. That was delicious.Klaus: I aim to please.Aurora: No. Darling, you aim to suck me dry of information, but you fed me well,so I suppose I owe you a favor. What would you like to know?Klaus: Well, it's quite simple really. I find being in your company again wonderfully intoxicating. Somy question is do you feel the same?Aurora: Nik, I am not your enemy, nor Rebekah's. After all, she's my sire, but I do hate Elijah, given what he's done to meand to you.Klaus: So you choose to ally with the brother who locked you in a prison and the stable boy who, until now, was always so far beneath you?Aurora:You know, the 3 of us spent one hundred years working together and running together, believing we were the Mikaelsons, and you knew your father.

From a podium on stage, Dr. Brennan is giving a lecture to a large group of anthropology students.Behind her shines a slide showing a variety of what look to be skull fragments.]BRENNAN: As far back as 1938, the director of the F.B.I., J. Edgar Hoover, wroteto the then curator of the Jeffersonian Institution, Professor Daniel Payne, to aid in the evaluation of specimens who were thought to be irrefutably human. Thiswas the result.[She changes the slide, and a drawing of an ape appears. The students laugh.]BRENNAN: Despite this early disagreement, the F.B.I. and theJeffersonian have forged a mutually beneficial, if somewhat tense, relationship which survives to this day. Thank you.[The students applaud and Goodman stepsto the podium.]GOODMAN: Thank you, Dr. Brennan. Are there any questions?[A girl in the audience raises her hand.]OS: GOODMAN: Yes?[She stands.]FEMALESTUDENT: How much money have you made from your book?BRENNAN: I don't really know. I have an accountant and an agent-GOODMAN (cutting her off):That's not really the kind of question we're looking for from an anthropology student.[A boy in the hand is called on.]OS: GOODMAN: Yes?[He stands.]MALESTUDENT: Did you get your agent before or after you wrote the book?[Brennan moves toward the podium to answer, but Goodman speaks first.]GOODMAN:People, Dr. Brennan is an accomplished forensic anthropologist who writes books on the side.[In the audience, Booth stands from among the students.]BOOTH: Ihave a question regarding role of the F.B.I. in your book: Who do you base the brilliant and insightful Special Agent Andy Lister on?GOODMAN: Oh, for God'ssake.BOOTH: Because, you know, I'm pretty sure it was me.BRENNAN: What are you doing here, Booth?[Cut to: Outside the building, Brennan and Booth arewalking side-by-side toward the parking lot.]BOOTH: Local police got an anonymous call saying that there were human remains in a field behind a mall in thesuburbs.BRENNAN: I did an anthropological profile of the suburb as a grad student. The whole notion of a created community, a modern utopia with its ownmores and rules... It's fascinating.BOOTH: Fascinating to who?BRENNAN: To \"whom\".BOOTH: Whom. (He sees the shiny, silver sports car they've walked up toand laughs) You've got to be kidding.BRENNAN: What? My publishers gave it to me.BOOTH: Gave it to you?BRENNAN: Book sales are pretty good. It's supposedto be a nice car.BOOTH: Gave it to you?BRENNAN: Yeah.BOOTH: Well, why'd you park crooked?BRENNAN: Well, the guy said to always park it like that.BOOTH:He's wrong. It makes you look like an idiot.BRENNAN: How about I drive for once?BOOTH: No, I cannot show up at a crime scene in that.BRENNAN: Why?BOOTH:Because it would detract from the gravity of my F.B.I. presence. Especially if you parked crooked.BRENNAN: Why is the F.B.I. involved in the search for humanremains behind a suburban mall?[Booth pulls a paper out of his jacket and hands it to her.]BOOTH: Because this boy is missing.[The paper is a missing personflier with a picture of a young boy on it.]BRENNAN: Oh... A child.BOOTH: Yeah.[Cut to: The field behind Clayton Hills Mall. The parking lot is filled with vehicles,among them squad cars and a coroner's van. Booth, Brennan, and Zack are speaking with a police officer.]POLICE OFFICER: Anonymous call came in a couplehours ago. No sign of him yet.BOOTH: How do you know it wasn't a prank?[The officer starts a recording of the call.]GIRL (on cassette player): You have to comeright away! There's, like, a dead kid here, all rotted away! It's in the field behind Clayton Hills Mall. You better come!BOOTH: Well, that rings true.BRENNAN: Whyanonymous?POLICE OFFICER: Kids come here to party, misbehave.BRENNAN: Adolescents and preadolescents tend to seek out their own space to establish theirown society, to counter parental influence.POLICE OFFICER: You mind if I make an observation?BRENNAN: No, of course not.POLICE OFFICER: In your book, thecops come off as very one-dimensional. Why is that?BRENNAN: You mean two-dimensional.ZACK: One-dimensionality exists only in theory as a mathematicalvalue.POLICE OFFICER: Okay. Really looking forward to your next book.[He exits.]BRENNAN: Did you bring the thermal imager?ZACK: I don't think we needit.[Brennan gives him a look.]ZACK: It makes me look like the Great Gazoo.BRENNAN: I don't know what that means, but we definitely need it, Zack.[He sighsand walks off.][Cut to: A bit later, in the field. Zack is wearing the thermal imager, which looks like a large orange and yellow helmet over his head. We see Boothand Brennan through his point of view, in yellows, greens, and reds based off of thermal heat.]BOOTH: How's it going there, Darth? See anything on Saturn? (offof Brennan's look) Oh, please tell me you've seen at least one Star Wars movie.BRENNAN: When I was seven, and leave Zack alone.[Back to normal view.]ZACK:Can we please hurry up? It's stuffy in here.[They begin to walk.]ZACK: I should be able to see any heat residue released from decomposing bodies.[They happenupon a small area where there obviously used to be a fire. Some crates and various garbage surround it.]OS: BOOTH: Party central.BRENNAN: Because suburbsare so homogeneous, adolescents tend to rebel in predictable and uniform ways. Fire, illicit substances, wayward behavior.BOOTH: Do you think that waywardbehavior would include abducting a six-year-old child?BRENNAN: It's pretty extreme. Adolescents are more likely to drink alcohol and listen to culturallyinappropriate music at high volume.ZACK: I'm picking something up.[From his POV, we see mostly green as he walks through grass, but then a patch of yellow,signifying some heat, appears.][Back to normal view, Zack takes the imager off of his head.]ZACK: Oh my God.BOOTH: What? Why'd you stop?ZACK: You canturn on your flashlight. Aim it over there.[He pulls back some high grass and we see the mostly decomposed body of a young child.][SCENE_BREAK][TITLECREDITS][Fade in: The Jeffersonian Medico-Legal Lab. The child's body is laid out on a table on the raised center platform.]BRENNAN: Before proceeding withmaceration, any general observations? Zack?ZACK: Epiphyseal fusion puts the age at approximately six to ten years, though the stature suggestyounger.BRENNAN: Good. I concur. Cause of death?ZACK: Blunt trauma to the chest.[Brennan walks over to Angela, concerned.]BRENNAN: Are you allright?ANGELA: He's so small. That's all. Go on with your work. I'm okay.[Brennan returns to the table.]HODGINS: The remains were significantly degraded byinsect and animal activity, mostly dog and rodent. Despite the condition of the body, he's been dead between only thirty-six to forty-eight hours.BRENNAN(gesturing towards the victim's clothes): These were found a few yards from the body. Notice that they are in perfect condition. What does that tell you?ZACK:The victim wasn't wearing them when he was killed.BRENNAN: Which suggests he was sexually assaulted.[Angela approaches the table and hands a sheet ofpaper to Brennan.]ANGELA: I'm done.[Brennan takes the sketch and walks to a computer screen, where the missing flier is displayed, to compare.]BRENNAN: Ithink we have a match. The clothing matches. It's Charles Gregory Sanders.[Cut to: The Sanders house.]OS: BOOTH: On behalf of the F.B.I., we're extremelysorry for the loss of your son.[Cut to: Inside. Booth is talking with Charles' mother, Margaret Sanders, and one of the Sanders' neighbors, Ellie Nelson.]BOOTH:And I have a few questions, I mean, only if you're up to it.[Margaret nods.]BOOTH: You have two other sons?MARGARET: Foster sons. Though I try not to makethe distinction.ELLIE: Shawn and David Cook. They are brothers. I live right next door.BOOTH: Charlie was your own?MARGARET (voice breaking): Yes. Charliewas mine.BOOTH: What about Mr. Sanders?MARGARET: We divorced shortly before Charlie was even born. He works overseas.ELLIE: He doesn't even send childsupport.BOOTH: You mind if I ask how you afford this nice neighborhood?MARGARET: Child Services wouldn't allow a single mother to foster if she worked. I liveoff the proceeds of a generous trust fund my parents set up long ago.BOOTH: And the day that Charlie disappeared - all three boys went to the park?ELLIE: It'stwo blocks away. It's a very safe neighborhood. They walk farther to school.MARGARET: We all keep an eye out for each other around here. People are goodneighbors, take an interest.[A door opens in the background.]OS: SKYLER: Mom?MARGARET: In here, Skyler.[Skyler Nelson enters with Shawn and DavidCook.]ELLIE: This is my son, Skyler.SKYLER: Dad told me to bring the boys back. We gotta go on a job.DAVID: There's nothing to do here.SHAWN: Our videogame's broke.MARGARET: Shawn, David, this is Agent Booth. He's gonna find out what happened to Charlie.DAVID: How're you gonna figure it out?BOOTH: Oh,I'm in the F.B.I. We always figure it out. Boys, I mean, if it's alright with your mother, maybe I could help you out with your video game.[Margaret nods, and theboys head off with Booth following behind them.][Cut to: Brennan's office. All the squints are gathered there.]GOODMAN: These are invitations to a banquet.[Hehands an envelope to Brennan.]BRENNAN: You called a special meeting to invite us to a party?GOODMAN: Don't this of it as an invitation, consider it a summons.It's for donors.[He moves to Hodgins, who stands.]HODGINS: Meet and greet, press the flesh, butt kiss...GOODMAN: I don't like it any more than you do, butthese people fund our research, and all they want in return is to rub elbows with a scientist every once in awhile.[He walks toward Angela.]HODGINS: I can'tmake it.BRENNAN: Yeah, me neither.ANGELA: I have a date that night.GOODMAN (handing her an invitation): You don't even know when it is.[Zack raises hishand.]GOODMAN (passing him an envelope as well): Yes, Mr. Addy?ZACK: What kind of food will there be?GOODMAN: When I said you should think of thisinvitation as a summons, I understated. It's a subpoena. A grand-jury subpoena. Ignore it at your own peril.BRENNAN: You're not gonna fire us if we don'tgo.GOODMAN: No, not fire you, but I can move your parking spot to Lot M. Enjoy the shuttle ride.ZACK: The shuttle smells like feet.BRENNAN: I know when I'mbeat. I'm in.ANGELA: What the hell, it's a party.ZACK: Do I have to wear a tie?GOODMAN: Formal wear. I've arranged for a limo to pick us up here.HODGINS:Not me. I'm not afraid of parking or feet.ZACK: Wait, you drive me to work. You can't just think of yourself.GOODMAN: Repercussions and consequences, Dr.Hodgins. I'm your boss, and you will go to this banquet.[Hodgins snaps a rubberband that's around his wrist as Goodman exits, and Angela takes notice.][Cut to:The Sanders house. Booth is helping the kids with their video game.]DAVID (as Booth puts a controller back together): Do you know what you're doing?BOOTH:Yeah. I can fix anything.DAVID: Cool.BOOTH: You guys, uh, you guys have girlfriends?DAVID: I do.SHAWN: Her name's Leila.BOOTH: Leila.

But nowthat you mention it, Tina's in there too.Bill: You do know that I'm not gonna let anything happen to you? That I am here for you to protect you.Sookie: And whatif I don't wanna need to be protected? What if wanting to be protected makes me feel like the helpless little girls I used to be all over again?Bill: Sookie. All of thethings that you need to be protected from, all of the trouble you're in, you're in because of me. So you needing to be protected has nothing to de with you or whoyou are. All of it is my fault. So why don't you just go to sleep and let me be the one to worry about it?Sookie: Bill, all the trouble I'm in, it's mine. I chose it. Ichose it when I chose you.Bill: Yes, but...Sookie: Don't you think I wanna blame somebody else? But what I did to my Gran and now to poor Tina, it's my fault.And it's sweet of you to try to take it on for me, but if I let you, I'd be so mad at you, I'd never be able to look at you again.

JOHNNY: Yeah. So, do I have to eat here, or could I get the gelato in a carton?VERONICA: Just a few more questions first.INT - MARSRESIDENCE - NIGHT.Veronica enters the apartment, staring at the photograph. Keith is in the armchair, reading.KEITH: Hey, honey.VERONICA: Hey, Dad.Neitherhave glanced up, both intent on their activities. The phone rings. Veronica answers.VERONICA: Hello?

Heart arrhythmia.VERONICA: So that's our strategy? Just wait for him to drop dead?KEITH: He has totake a pill every day. There any way you can find out Gia Goodman's cell phone access code?VERONICA: Gia's cell?KEITH: Woody's lawyer is also an old collegebuddy of his. If he'd call anyone, it'd be him.

Also on the tableare some pictures, some candles, a spray bottle, a diary, and a porcelain dog (or pig). The room is bathed in pale pink light. Without opening her eyes, Veronicapulls a small pillow over her head, sighing. She removes it on the sound of a knock at the door.LIANNE: Up and at 'em, honey. Lianne marches in, carrying foldedclothes. The room is not Veronica's bedroom at the apartment, but in a different house. Lianne sets the clothes on top of a chest of drawers. She is grinning ear toear.LIANNE: Can you believe the big day is finally here? Lianne exits the room. Veronica, still half asleep, is confused as she gets up. Cut to a little later. Veronica,"}

What's the punch line? Doughnut ask,it's a secret. Oh.(laughs)Oh, that is... that's actually pretty funny. That's a cute joke!Eric: Early this morning, LAPD was alerted to the body of a homeless JohnDoe in a North Hollywood alley. No I.D., no police record, and no fingerprints on file. Well, that rules out a Marine or Navy vet. Not exactly, Agent Hanna. Theman's fingerprints are on file, (cell phone buzzes) just not in any law enforcement database. When LAPD scanned John Doe's fingerprints, it triggered a classifiedDoD alert.Granger: His name's Harrison Goodsell. Marine, member of the CIA Special Activities Division. Over the past two decades, he's worked dozens ofclassified ops. Afghanistan, Russia. Even Iran and North Korea. The people who worked with Goodsell called him The Grey Man. Wait, what's... what's \"The GreyMan\"? It's a term used in special ops. A Grey Man is someone who has the skills to blend into any environment and remain unnoticed. Unknowable. Best way toavoid confrontation in hostile territory. But not 100 percent effective. M.E. reports that Goodsell was tortured before his killers finished him off. Cut his throat.You're worried someone got to the secrets in Goodsell's head. Years later, that kind of Intel could put American lives at risk. We should talk to some of his friendsin Special Activities. I'll handle the CIA, Agent Callen. Your team should focus on the murder investigation. Sam and I'll check out the crime scene. Kensi, Deeks--get his photo around to all the shelters, see if anybody knew him. Report all findings to me.Kensi: Sir? Do we know why Goodsell ended up living on the street?Well, CIA reports he had a breakdown last year. Diagnosed PTSD, multiple traumatic brain injuries. You know how the story goes. Yeah, yeah. Let's get moving.All right, thanks, Eric. Keep looking. Down here. Thanks. Goodsell has no family. Parents are deceased, no kids, never married. Typical Grey Man. They don'tpunch out at the end of the day. It's not conducive to starting a family. You did. (chuckles) I'm not a Grey Man. You, on the other hand... Have a girlfriend, have ahome. I'm doing just fine, thank you. You're welcome. Five years ago-- different story. I put a lot of work into you, G. Oh, so what, am I like Charlene, your, uh,car you used to restore in your spare time? I'm saying it's about having a support system, a safety net. Grey Man works without them. When he falls, he hits theground hard. Ends up here. May I? Sure. Lot of stuff here. Not sure if any of it's gonna be helpful.Sam: Yeah. No cameras on either end of the alley. Or theadjoining streets. Perfect place for a body dump. They got a fingerprint and a downtown area code for Civic Sushi. I'll send a copy of the print to Eric, see if itmatches our Grey Man.Kensi: Civic Sushi has four-and-a-half stars on Yelp, all you can eat till noon. You realize that you just had breakfast in the car, right? Thatwasn't breakfast, that was, uh... Second breakfast? Elevenses? What, bath meal? Hey, when you've gone days without eating like I have, you learn to appreciatefood. I'm just saying it's kind of hard to appreciate something when you devour it. Literally, I blinked, and the burrito was gone. Welcome to Civic Sushi. Please,have a seat anywhere. We're actually not eating. We're just here to ask some questions to the manager. I'm the manager. Hideo. Great. In that case, do yourecognize this man? Yes, he is a customer. A regular. He ate here? That's very charitable of you. No charity, he paid like everyone. Tipped well, too. I'm sorry, thehomeless man tipped you? Homeless? No, he wore a nice suit, tie. Talked on his phone, he was a businessman. Why don't you look at the picture one more time.Ah, come, I'll show you. He's in this photo I took of DJ Salmon Run. KZPZ-- best hip-hop in town. That's him. That's Goodsell. The hell was this guy up to?Eric:Using the downtown sushi place as a starting point, we scanned traffic cams within a five block radius. And in the 72 hours leading up to his death, we spottedGoodsell four times. All within the vicinity of Grand Park.Eric: Here he is yesterday, crossing the street toward Civic Sushi for a late lunch. And here he is, one dayearlier, appearing in two different areas of Grand Park. Hmm. Back to being homeless. And finally, only six hours before that... One block away from the park.Again, in a business suit. Okay, not to be insensitive, but Granger did say that Goodsell suffered multiple traumatic brain injuries. I know guys with TBI who can'ttie their shoelaces. Goodsell looks quick, purposeful. He's working an op. Question is-- for whom? This area he's covering is full of government agencies. You gotthe DEA, the USCIS. There's even a federal courthouse. He could be working for a foreign agency. The sushi manager doesn't know anything about him? No, andthe shelters we talked to don't recognize him, either. But maybe their clients will. I mean, homeless people don't like to talk to law enforcement, but they do talkto each other. As do the suits grabbing coffee at the park. So, maybe that's our plan. You go doll up with your casual business wear, and I'll get Artie out of thefreezer. We'll make a day of it. Oh. I'm sorry, who's Artie? He named his smelly undercover jacket.Deeks: I did. It's a funny story, actually. 'Cause when Actually,we were... it's not, it's really gross. So, let's go, get out of here. I wore that thing, it gave me a rash. That's part of its authenticity, man. Where's your dedicationto the art form? You thinking what I'm thinking? I'm trying not to think about your rash.Callen: If Goodsell didn't have a breakdown, then either Granger got badinformation... Or he lied to us. Where's Granger? He went out. Didn't say where. Mr. Hanna, your daughter called me twice this morning. I told her not to useyour number unless it was an emergency. Oh, but it was. She said, um, Forget the spaghetti. She'd rather have lasagna for dinner. Ouch. I mean, twice the prep,not to mention the cook time, of course. All right, good. Well, the quicker we solve this case, the better. Oh, yes. The elusive Grey Man. Unfortunately, Owen has,um, revoked my access on this case. Why would he do that? I think you'll have to ask him. I overheard him say something about going out to have froyo with hisgood friend, Claude Rains. \"Claude Rains\"? Isn't that the actor from Casablanca? Yes. And Notorious and The Invisible Man and Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.Quite a career Mr. Rains had. Hetty? Pretty sure he's dead. True. But that doesn't necessarily mean you can't have froyo with him.[SCENE_BREAK]Oh... Just keepmoving, Barnes. Just pretend we're still old friends. We were never friends, Granger. You're right. My mistake. So, this is about our Grey Man, isn't it? (grunts) Iwant to hear the truth, Barnes, straight from your lying mouth. The truth? Since when is the CIA in the truth-telling business? Fine. Then we'll just pick up wherewe left off in Afghanistan. No weapons. No tricks. Just you and me.(grunts)Callen: Ouch!Believe it or not, you landed on Robert Ripley.(grunting)Get up. All right,hand him over. Yeah, how about we make a trade? That's not how this works. Today it is. Him for some answers. I guess we're both in the truth-telling businessnow, huh, Granger? Shut up. Put your hands behind your back. Hey. Hi, sir... with the bubble wrap? Sir, I see you're very busy. I'm just wondering if you'd seenmy buddy? That's him on the left. We served together in Afghanistan. And he said he was gonna be living down here. No? Okay. You... Kensilina? I'm striking outhere. No one remembers Goodsell. Or they're too, uh... disturbed or too high to remember anything.Kensi: Hey, he left his wallet on the table and I tried theaddress, but he doesn't live there anymore-- do you know him? Nah. No. No? Okay, thank you. I can't... Sorry. Have any luck down there, Kens? That would be anegative. And I'm on my third cup of coffee. I'm not sure how much my bladder can it take anymore. I could kill for a cup of coffee right now. You want to switchme? And put on that jacket? No, thank you. I wouldn't let Artie touch me. Well, I'll have you know that you're not really Artie's type anyway. I used to be. What?What do you mean? You know, I lived on the street down here after my dad died? Um, no. No, I didn't, uh... No, I didn't know that. You're lying to me. I knowHetty told you. Hetty? No, come on. Hetty didn't tell me anything. Actually, she specifically said that she didn't tell me anything. You can fool everyone else,"}

Credits sequence.Scene: The apartment.Leonard: Sheldon, can yougrab me a water?Sheldon: Possibly.Leonard: Can you or can't you?Sheldon: It's not that simple, Leonard.Leonard: It never is, is it?Sheldon: At this moment, ourrelationship exists in two mutually contradictory states. Until you either do not go or go to Wil Wheaton's party, you are simultaneously my friend and not myfriend. I'm characterizing this phenomenon as Schrodinger's Friendship.Leonard: Got it. Can I have my water?Sheldon: Of course. Now get it yourself, youtraitor.Penny: Wait, what is going on?Sheldon: In case you have forgotten, Schrodinger's cat is a thought experiment...Penny: No, no, no, no, I didn't forget. Um,there's this cat in a box and until you open it, it's either dead or alive or both. Although, back in Nebraska, our cat got stuck in my brother's camp trunk, and wedid not need to open it to know there was all kinds of dead cat in there.Amy: Homespun stories, knowledge of physics and a bosom that defies it. You're thewhole package, aren't you?Howard (arriving): Sorry I'm late. Uh, I got great news. NASA picked my team's design for the deep field space telescope that's goingon the International Space Station this spring.All: Wow.Bernadette: Howie, that's wonderful! Congratulations!Howard: It gets better. Someone has to go up withthe telescope as a payload specialist, and guess who that someone is.Sheldon: Mohammed Lee.Howard: Who's Mohammed Lee?Sheldon: Mohammed is the mostcommon first name in the world, Lee, the most common surname. As I didn't know the answer, I thought that gave me a mathematical edge.Howard: It's me,Sheldon. It's me. I'm going up in space! Technically, I'm an astronaut.All: Wow, that's amazing!Bernadette: Hang on a second. NASA doesn't have a shuttle anymore. How are you going to get up there?Howard: Oh, well, it's really cool. You fly to Moscow, they take you out to Kazakhstan, and then you get into a RussianSoyuz rocket which shoots you into a low earth orbit. Or just sits there on the launch pad because the Kazakhi mafia sold the rocket fuel on the blackmarket.Bernadette: Are those Russian rockets safe?Howard: Well, I mean, safe as it can be when it was built by the good folks who brought youChernobyl.Leonard: I'd like to propose a toast. The dream to go up into space is one we all share, and Howard's making that a reality. We're all very proud ofyou.All: Cheers.Sheldon: That was a lovely toast. Kudos.Leonard: Thank you.Sheldon: Simultaneously, a festival of cloying clichés. You sicken me.Scene:Bernadette's car.Howard: You're really quiet. Is everything okay?Bernadette: Fine. Just a little tired.Howard: I hope not too tired, because I'm feeling particularlymasculine right now. All systems go, if you catch my drift.Bernadette: I always catch your drift.Howard: All right, well, something's obviously bugging you. Whatis it?Bernadette: I just can't believe you signed up for the space program without even talking to me.Howard: Oh, I get it. You're worried about me. That is sosweet. You know, there's a saying we have at NASA. What makes the right stuff so right is that it always comes home.Bernadette: Just stop talking,Howard.Howard: This isn't the reaction I expected when I told you I was gonna be an astronaut.Bernadette: What did you think was going to happen?Howard:Honestly? s*x.Bernadette: Howard.Howard: Do you realize what a big deal this is? What an honour it is to be chosen to go into space?Bernadette: Yeah, I get it. Ijust wish you included me in the decision. We're supposed to be partners. We're supposed to be a team.Howard: I'm sorry. You're right. Okay, let's try this again.Bernadette, an opportunity has come up that impacts both of us, and I'd like to discuss it.Bernadette: Okay.Howard: I've been offered a chance to go up to theInternational Space Station for three weeks. What are your thoughts on that?Bernadette: Well, first of all, thank you for including me in the decision-makingprocess.Howard: Hey, we're a team. So, what do you think?Bernadette: No.Howard: No?Bernadette: No.Howard: Well why not?Bernadette: Howard, my fatherwas a police officer. We never knew from one night to the next if he was going to come home alive. It was horrible. And I don't want to live that way withyou.Howard: Hey, my father abandoned me and my mother when I was 11. We never saw him again.Bernadette: Oh, boo-hoo, you're not going to space!Scene:The apartment.Leonard: Pretty cool about Howard, huh?Sheldon: Don't talk to me as if nothing's happened between us. And yes, it sure is, buddy.Leonard: ForGod's sake, will you stop with the Schrodinger stuff.Sheldon: Would you prefer a simpler application of Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, in which I could eitherknow where you are or whether I like you, but not both?Leonard: You never stop talking, do you?Amy: I don't understand. What differences does it make ifLeonard goes to Wil Wheaton's party?Penny: Wil Wheaton is Sheldon's mortal enemy.Amy: Mortal enemy?Penny: Mm-hmm.Amy: Sheldon, I know you're a bit ofa left-handed monkey wrench, but, you really have a mortal enemy?Sheldon: In fact, I have 61 of them. Would you like to see the list?Penny: Oh, say no, say no,say no, say no.Sheldon: You just got off the list. Would you like back on it? This'll just take a moment. It's on a five and a quarter inch floppy.Amy: A floppydisk?Sheldon: Well, I started the list when I was nine.Amy: How did Wil Wheaton get on the list?All: Oh! Oh, God!Sheldon: As a child, I loved Wesley Crusher, WilWheaton's character on Star Trek. So, I drove for hours by bus to a Star Trek convention at which Wil Wheaton was scheduled to appear, so that I could get myWesley Crusher action figure signed. But he never showed, because apparently, it was cooler for him to be the lower-left corner on Hollywood Squares. Oh,damn! The floppy failed. Well, whoever was in charge of quality control at the Verbatim Corporation in 1989, congratulations, you just made thelist.[SCENE_BREAK]Scene: Howard's bedroom.Bernadette: Howard?Howard: Change your mind about s*x? I'm still mad, but I'll do it.Bernadette: No, I've justbeen thinking. It doesn't matter if I'm afraid for your safety. I don't want to be the person who stands between you and your dreams.Howard: Really?Bernadette:Really. If going into space means that much to you, I will never say another word about it.Howard: Thank you.Bernadette: I love you.Howard: I love you, too. So,s*x now?Bernadette: Okay. I just forgot to brush my teeth. I'll be right back. (Exits)Mrs Wolowitz (off): Over my dead body my son goes into outerspace!Bernadette: I'm ready.Scene: The cafeteria.Leonard: Wait, let me see if I got this right. You actually asked Bernadette to leave your house in the middle ofthe night?Howard: What choice did I have? She went behind my back and turned my own mother against me.Raj: Wow. You're not only our first astronaut. You'realso the first one of us to kick a girl out of bed. You're like a rock star.Howard: Little bit.Leonard: I hate to say it, but she did kind of betray you.Sheldon:Interesting. You see betrayal in others, but not yourself.Leonard: Going to Wheaton's party is not betraying you.Sheldon: Oh, of course you would have to believethat. Evil always thinks it's doing right. Excuse me, Stormtrooper. These are the droids you're looking for.Leonard: I'm going to a party. I'm not turning R2-D2and C-3PO over to the empire!Sheldon: Not yet.Raj: So, what's gonna happen next?

Veronica comes closer to take the paper and read the story.VERONICA: Scary. Wait. Wasn't this your case? I thought they caughtthis guy in Oakland two years ago.KEITH: Well, apparently they didn't.

His mark.Keith, who has done hisbest to ignore Lamb's constant interruptions and attempts at a pissing contest, takes a deep breath.KEITH: The girls are asphyxiated. The strangler thing camefrom the press, it's a misnomer. There's evidence that these women have been held for 48 hours in a contained space, basically suffocated.LAMB: The murdersare reminiscent of the Hillside Strangler case.KEITH: Except the Hillside Strangler actually did strangle the girls.LAMB: Party girls, like ours. Picked up outside ofbars. Killer leaves his mark.KEITH: Okay, except for the asphyxiation, the imprisonment, the body disposal, these cases have a lot in common.LEO: What do weknow about the killer?KEITH: He hates women, he craves attention, he's a luuser.Lamb sighs heavily.KEITH: The weekend killings suggest the guy has atraditional job.LAMB: Amy Polk was found with wrist bands from local bars on her wrist and smudged ink on her palm that looked like it could be a phone number.Lab boys in LA are trying to decipher it.SACKS: Imagine the poor sucker waiting for that phone call.Cut to Veronica, back in the Neptune High girls' room, givinganother report.VERONICA: Your mom sued her parent for emancipation when she was sixteen and then moved to Hollywood.

I don't speak mumble.Joey: It's about a girl who comes between 2 guys.Teacher: Right you are. 2 guys, a girl,and no pizza place. [no one laughs]Uh, how did the play make you feel, Miss Potter?Joey: I didn't think it was very realistic. I mean, Valentine is thiscardboard-cutout hero, and Proteus is unfairly painted as a villain. I just think these scenarios are actually a lot more complicated.Dawson: [Chuckles]Teacher:Mr. Leery, do I sense an opposing viewpoint in your little chortle?Dawson: No, no. It was nothing.Teacher: Please, please. Elaborate.Dawson: Well, um, I don'tthink it's a story about a girl coming between 2 guys. I think it's about the friendship between the 2 guys.Joey: Which fails when the girl comes betweenthem.Dawson: It fails because one friend betrays the other. I mean, Proteus is a lousy friend.Joey: Valentine isn't such a great guy. I mean, he's so fixated on hishonor that he totally loses sight of everything else around him.Dawson: He was willing to make the ultimate sacrifice. He gave up the girl he loved. You thinkthat's a bad thing?Joey: I think nothing about this topic is black and white, Dawson.[Drue raises his hands]Teacher: Drue.Drue: Gene and roger here have afantastic energy, but they're sort of all over the place. Now I for one would love to see them engage in a prepared debate about the merits of the play.Joey:Would you mind your own business?Teacher: I think that is a splendid idea. I've never generated so much heat out of what is arguably Shakespeare's worstcomedy. And you know what would make it even better?

You have this look like you know what it means.Derek: No, it's - it's nothing.Scott: Wait -wait - wait - wait a second. You can't do that.

Listen. \"A quadruped wolf - likemonster, prowling the Auvergne and south Dordogne areas of France during the year 1764 to 1767.

So what?Allison: Not just a big wolf. Take a look at this picture. What doesit look like to you? Lydia? Lydia.Lydia: It looks - like a big - wolf. See you in History.Stiles: I think the book's making it more obvious. Besides, she's reading,anyway.Scott: So did you come up with a plan yet?Stiles: I think so.Scott: Does that mean you don't hate me now?Stiles: No. But your crap has infiltrated mylife, so now I have to do something about it. Plus I'm definitely a better Yoda than Derek.Scott: Okay, yeah, you teach me.Stiles: Yeah, I'll be your Yoda.Scott:Yeah, you be my Yoda.Stiles: Your Yoda I will be. I said it backwards.Scott: Yeah, I - I know.Stiles: All right, you know what? I definitely still hate you. Uh - huh.Oh, yeah.Allison: Scott. Scott, wait. Hey, Scott.

Now - put this on.Scott: Isn't this one of the heart ratemonitors for the track team?Stiles: Yeah, I borrowed it.Scott: Stole it.Stiles: Temporarily misappropriated. Coach uses it to monitor his heart rate with his phonewhile he jogs, and you're gonna wear it for the rest of the day.Scott: Isn't that coach's phone?Stiles: That, I stole.Scott: Why?Stiles: All right, well, your heartrate goes up when you go wolf, right? When you're playing lacrosse, when you're with Allison, whenever you get angry. Maybe learning to control it is tied tolearning to control your heart rate.Scott: Like the Incredible Hulk.Stiles: Kind of like the Incredible Hulk, yeah.Scott: No, I'm like the Incredible Hulk.Stiles: Wouldyou shut up and put the strap on?Scott: This isn't exactly how I wanted to spend my free period.Stiles: All right. You ready?Scott: No.Stiles: Remember, don't getangry.Scott: I'm starting to think this was a really bad idea. Oh, man. Okay, that one - kind of hurt.Stiles: Quiet. Remember, you're supposed to be thinkingabout your heart rate, all right? About staying calm.Scott: Stay calm. Staying calm. Staying totally calm. There's no balls flying at my face -Scott: Aah!

Scott, you started to change.Scott: From anger. But it was more than that. Was like, the angrier I got, the stronger I felt.Stiles: So itis anger, then. Derek's right.Scott: I can't be around Allison.Stiles: Just because she makes you happy?Scott: No, because she makes me weak.Stiles: Alright,you stay away from her for a few days, you can do that.Scott: But is it a few days, or is it forever?Stiles: You know, this whole \"women make you weak\" thing is alittle too spartan warrior for me. It's probably just part of the learning process.Scott: Yeah, but you've seen Derek. I mean, the guy's totally alone. What if I can,like, never be around her again?Stiles: Well, if you're not dead, that could be a good thing.Scott: Rather be dead.Stiles: All right, you're not gonna end up likeDerek, all right? We'll figure it out.Scott: 'Kay.Stiles: Come on. Let's get out of here.Scott: Something smells terrible in here, anyway.Stiles: Really? In a boys'locker room?

That was a joke. Gosh. You must really, really hate me.Allison: Not at all.Jackson: You sure?Because - I'm not a bad guy. I mean, yeah, I make stupid mistakes. A lot, but - I'm not bad.

Inhere, right now.Stiles: Another what?Scott: Another werewolf.Allison: You really don't remember anything?Lydia: They called it a fugue state, which is basically away of saying \"We have no idea why you can't remember running through the woods naked for two days.\" But personally, I don't care.

It's not like my aunt's a serial killer.Allison: Maybe it's the nine pounds.Scott: It was kind of like a scent, but I couldn't tellwho it was.Stiles: What if you can get him one - on - one?

The position's goal keeper. Not goal abandoner.Scott: Sorry, coach.Coach: Let's go!Coach: Stilinski, what the hell is wrong with your friend?Stiles: Uh,he's failing two classes.

Where's Jackson?Danny: In the principal's office talking to your dad.Stiles: What? Why?Danny:Maybe because he lives across the street from Isaac.Scott: Witness.Stiles: We gotta get to the principal's office.Scott: How?Harris: Everyone please turn to page73. Who in the hell did that?Sheriff: Listen to me, you're telling me that you knew Isaac's father was hitting him?Jackson: Hitting him? He was kicking the crapout of him.Sheriff: Did you ever say anything to anyone? A teacher, parents, anyone?Jackson: Nope. It's not my problem.Sheriff: No, no, of course not.

Come on in.[SCENE_BREAK]Gerard: Scott McCall. Academically not the most accomplished, but I see you have become quitethe star athlete. Mr. Stilinski. Oh, perfect grades but little to no extracurriculars. Maybe you should try lacrosse.Stiles: Oh, actually I'm already -Gerard: Hold on.McCall. You're the Scott that was dating my granddaughter.Scott: We were dating but not anymore. Not dating, not seeing any of each other or doing anythingwith each other - At all.Gerard: Relax, Scott, you look like you're about to crack a cyanide pill with your teeth.Scott: Just a hard breakup.Gerard: Oh, that's toobad. You seem like a pretty nice kid to me. Now listen, guys. Yes, I am the principal, but I really don't want you to think of me as the enemy.Stiles: Heh, is thatso?Gerard: However, this being my first day, I do need to support my teachers. So unfortunately someone is going to have to take the fall and stay behind fordetention.Lydia: It's just - we haven't really talked since that night and well - Jackson, can you, like, look at me for half la second? They said if you hadn't foundme and carried me back, I could have died. So I just - I wanted to say thank you.Jackson: Lydia, we're not getting back together.Lydia: What?Jackson: And justbecause I kept you from bleeding out on a field once, don't expect me to come running every time you start screaming.Lydia: I never said -Jackson: I'm notresponsible for you. Okay? But I will give you one piece of advice. If I were you, I'd stay home tonight.Lydia: What does that mean? What's tonight?Jackson: It'sa full moon.Derek: Get in.Scott: Are you serious? You did that. That's your fault.Derek: I know that. Now get in the car and help me.Scott: No, I've got a betteridea. I'm gonna call a lawyer. Because a lawyer might actually have a chance at getting him out before the moon goes up.Derek: Not when they do a real searchof the house.Scott: What do you mean?Derek: Whatever Jackson said to the cops, what's in the house is worse. A lot worse.Gerard: I'm not interested in whetherthey locked up a 16 - year - old kid. I'm interested in what's going to happen to that 16 - year - old when the moon hits its peak tonight. Do we have proof?Chris:Is the next step killing him?Gerard: The next step is eliminating the threat. Do we have proof?Chris: I haven't been in history class for a while, but I'm pretty surestraight - up genocide hasn't worked out too often.Gerard: Do we have proof or not?Chris: Not irrefutable. But not insignificant. The driver's side door of Lahey'scar was pried off.Gerard: Pried off?Chris: Ripped off.Matt: I'm starting to feel a little weird about this.Jackson: No, no, no, no. What you're feeling is a hundreddollars richer. Give me the camera and go buy yourself another fancy lens or light meter or whatever gives your photography geeks a hard - on.Matt: This doesn'thave anything to do with Allison, does it? I saw you two at the dance the other night and I kind of figured that you two were, you know, together.Jackson: Aw,you have a little thing for Allison, Matt? A little - a little crush?Matt: No.Jackson: You think I'm gonna waste my time by doing something as unbelievably ordinaryas making a s*x tape?Matt: Then what are you doing?Jackson: Documenting history. My history. And I want to be able to see it happening. All of it. You'll get itback tomorrow.Scott: If Isaac didn't kill his father, who did?Derek: I don't know yet.Scott: Then how do you know he's telling the truth?Derek: Because I trustmy senses. And it's a combination of them. Not just your sense of smell.Scott: You saw the lacrosse thing today.Derek: Yeah.Scott: Did it look that bad?Derek:"}

What is it?Emma: Well, you guys are tired. You need to rest.Mary Margaret: I'm pregnant. I'm not sick with the flu.Emma: Yeah, Iknow. It's just, um... Well, it's... \"Cradle cap.\" Last time you guys had him, you overwhelmed him with baby tips. He's 12. He's doesn't want to talk aboutpregnancies. It's not fun.Mary Margaret: Oh, we're fun.Emma: Well, I'm just saying maybe Henry disagrees.Mary Margaret: No!Emma: He'll get there. You got toremember, he doesn't know who you are.David: Well, if we're not fun, who is?[SCENE_BREAK](Hook is waiting for Smee at the harbour.)Smee: Captain Hook.Captain.Hook: It's about time, Mr. Smee. You know how much I abhor waiting. What is it that's so urgent?Smee: It's just, um, me and the men were talkingabout how we haven't seen much of you since we all ended up back here.Hook: Is there a point to that rather odd observation?Smee: What's keeping us fromcrewing up again hitting the high seas, getting back to pirating?Hook: You mean other than being attacked and turned into flying monkeys? Have you forgotten?There's no safe passage out of this town. You've already been a rodent, Mr. Smee. Does life as a simian interest you, as well?Smee: Of course there's safepassage. We could outrun them.Hook: Not with that torso of yours.Smee: If we had a fast enough ship. The Jolly Roger, for instance. You still haven't told mewhether you found her during the time none of us can remember.Hook: What happened during that time isn't important.Smee: Because you remember. Is ourship okay? What... What happened to it?Hook: My ship. All you need to know, Mr. Smee, is that the Jolly Roger isn't here. So there will be no outrunning ofanything.Smee: I mean, what if we found another ship? Any one of these...Hook: Mr. Smee, I've tried letting you down easy. Now let me be more direct. I haveno intention of leaving this town.Smee: Captain, I agree with you This place has its bright spots. I have never tried anything quite like frozen yogurt before. Butthe Wicked Witch is here. And with that sort of danger, what possible reason do you have to stay?Hook: My reasons are my own. Question them again at yourperil.(Emma and Henry arrive.)Smee: Sir.Emma: Wait here, okay? Didn't he used to be a rat?Hook: Aye. In many ways, he still is. To what do I owe the pleasure,Swan?Emma: Um... I was wondering if you could take care of Henry again.Hook: If you want to get close to me, you just need to ask. There's no need to use thelad as an excuse.Emma: Why am I not surprised you're making this about you? I need your help, 'cause Regina needs to train me in magic. We think together,we might be able to defeat the Wicked Witch.Hook: That's the first reasonable plan I've heard since this all began. Magic is a part of you, Swan. Don't forget... Iwas there when Cora tried to steal your heart. I saw the power inside of you. It's about time you embraced it. It's what makes you the Saviour.Emma: I'm notembracing anything. I need to learn magic to defeat Zelena and make sure everyone here is safe. After that, I'm done.Hook: Done with what, exactly?Emma: Hedoesn't belong here... Not anymore. He belongs in the real world, in New York, and the life that he remembers. It was good. And it didn't involve vilevillains.Hook: What about the life you remember? You can't just pretend like this never happened. Trust me. I spent the last year trying to do just that... Returnto the person I used to be... And it didn't work.Emma: Why? What happened over the last year that you're not telling me?Hook: It matters not. Just take it fromme just this once. No matter how much you wish you could go back to your old life... You can't.[SCENE_BREAK](Mary Margaret and David are walking on thebeach.)David: We can't just sit back and do nothing.Mary Margaret: You're right. We can be as fun as... As any pirate captain.David: Exactly. Henry obviously dida lot of growing up in the past year. We just have to... Adjust accordingly.Mary Margaret: What's going on?(A group surrounds Ariel.)Somebody: Does anyoneknow what happened?Somebody: She just washed up onshore.Mary Margaret: Who did? Who's here? Ariel?[SCENE_BREAK](On the beach.)Mary Margaret:Where have you been? We thought you'd been turned into a monkey.Ariel: A monkey? No. I'm a girl that turns into a fish.David: Yeah, we... We know. Whathappened to you?Ariel: I've been under the sea... Searching. I've travelled to every known realm looking for Prince Eric.David: So he's missing? For howlong?Ariel: After Pan failed, I woke up here, like everybody else. I... I couldn't find him. I didn't understand what happened until I overheard everybody sayingthat we had all gone to the Enchanted Forest and been there for a year without knowing it.David: So you still don't know what happened to him?Ariel: That's whyI came back here. I thought maybe I'd overlooked something, that he'd be here, but... Obviously, you haven't seen him.Mary Margaret: We're sorry. We've beentrying to piece together what happened. All we know is that we're up against Regina's sister, the Wicked Witch.Ariel: Do you think that she might be responsiblefor Prince Eric's disappearance?Mary Margaret: Without our memories, it's impossible to know everything.David: Maybe for us, but what about Hook?Ariel: Thepirate?Mary Margaret: Yes. He wasn't part of the witch's curse. He has his memories. Maybe he can... I don't know... Shed some light on what happened to PrinceEric.Ariel: Well, do you think he'd help me?Mary Margaret: He helped us save Henry. I don't know why not.[SCENE_BREAK][ Enchanted Forest - Past Year][SCENE_BREAK](In the street.)Hook: Fear of adding insult to injury, would you mind catching me up on your particular grievance?Ariel: You kidnapped PrinceEric, and you're gonna return him to me. Now on your feet!Hook: Kidnapping a prince does sound like something I would do, but... I'm afraid you've got thewrong pirate. Or should I say the wrong pirate has you?Ariel: Go ahead... Kill me. But I still know you're lying. One of Eric's men escaped, so I know the ship thattook him was yours... the Jolly Roger.Hook: The Jolly Roger? Are you certain? Answer me!Ariel: You really didn't take him.Hook: What else do you know aboutwho's captaining my ship? Did that man tell you anything else?!Ariel: Only that he was able to escape with a weapon that he stole from the armoury... The daggerthat's against my throat.(Hook watches the dagger, he laughs and leaves.)[SCENE_BREAK](Mr Smee is sleeping in the tavern. Hook enters.)Hook: Rise andshine, you bilge rats! No offense, Mr. Smee.Smee: None taken. I keep dreaming of cheese. What is it?Hook: I know who has the Jolly Roger, and we're gonnatake her back.Smee: Whose funeral shall we be attending, sir?Hook: Black Beard.Smee: Black Beard? But... He's the most cutthroat pirate ever to hoist a sail.Uh... After you, of course.Hook: Which will make it all the more satisfying when I take my ship back and make him walk her lovely plank.Smee: Let's not behasty. We've been having fun robbing carriages. Getting rich from it, too. M... M... Maybe we should forget about the Jolly Roger. You said it yourself. We don'tneed a ship to be...Hook: She's not just a ship.Smee: I'm fairly certain she is.Hook: She's more than that. I haven't been myself since we've returned. I shouldhave realized the reason why. It's because I don't have her.Smee: \"Her\"? You talk about the vessel as though she's a woman.Hook: Women come and go, Mr."}

No signs of an entry or exit wound means cause was probably a blunt force trauma to thehead .Lisbon: And they brought in the grown-ups because they couldn't decide whose sandbox it was?Rigsby: Right. Body's right on the city line. The only thingthey can agree on is that it was a carJacking gone wrong.

Kkiller would have been very frustrated to not be able to take this.Lisbon: Looks like a wheel.Jane: Motorcycle wheel.Lisbon: I don't buy it as acarJacking. maybe the murderer was covering it up as one, but if you're after someone's car and valuables, you grab and bolt. You don't waste time taking off acuff link.Rigsby: A gunshot or a stab wound Is more likely than a beating.Lisbon: Beating like this takes time. The murder was personal.Jane: No surprise there.The haircut, the suit, the cologne- This man had enemies.Rigsby: His cologne tells you he had enemies?Jane: Sure. okay, confrontional. Finishing touch on awardrobe that says, \"pay attention. show respect.\" This was an extrovert tough guy, a professional, a backroom politician or a lawyer, a fixer, the type that'sgood with people, making people do things they maybe don't want to do.Lisbon: Uh, what he is, is useless until we know who he is.Jane: Well, I can do that,too.He finds a headsetRigsby: Oh, no, Jane.

(Hegives headset to Lisbon) It's for you.The team is Hodge's homeNina Hodge: I knew something like this would happen, sooner or later.Lisbon: Well, was yourhusband having some sort of trouble lately?Nina: Gordon was a criminal attorney with a very special practice. He had only one client- the Sinner Saints.Jane:Bikers, are they?Rigsby: Yeah, they're one of the top biker gangs in the state. They run some legit businesses, but mostly they're into drugs and prostitution,low-rent protection rackets, that kind of thing.Nina: For years, I begged him to get out, but Gordon said that a lawyer never abandons his client. it's unethical. It'swhat he always called them- never \"the gang, \" always \"the client.\"Lisbon: When was the last time you saw him?Nina: Yesterday morning, before work. Gordonused to meet these people at all hours- That's how they are. So we didn't get worried when he didn't come home last night.Lisbon: Had he been acting differentlylately?Nina: He'd been more on edge the last week or so. I think something happened at work, but I'm not sure what.Lisbon: Did you ask him about it?Nina: No,never. Work was off-limits.Lucas Hodge: He said it was boring.Jane: What was the real reason? Do you think he was ashamed, or he sensed your shame?Lucas:He wanted to protect us.Lisbon: Would his colleagues at the office have known what was going on?Nina: No. He was a one-man shop. Didn't even have asecretary. Gordon didn't trust anyone with his business.Lisbon: Any idea who might have wanted to kill him?Nina: Well, you might want to ask his client. He knewall their secrets. He probably learned something that he shouldn't have.Rigsby: Either of you ever meet any of those scumbags?Lucas: No.Jane: You two must bevery torn- living in such a beautiful home, driving nice cars, going to good schools, 'll paid for by dangerous criminals, Or, uh, \"scumbags, \" as my colleaguesays.Nina: Do I wish that Gordon would've defended civil rights leaders? Yes, of course ! But he believed that everyone had a constitutional right to have a gooddefense. He had his principles.Lisbon: Thank you for your time.They go out of the houseLisbon: Did you go to some interview school I've never heard of? Nexttime, get the facts, save the editorial.Rigsby: Yes, ma'am.He looks at JaneLisbon: I know. Jane did it, too. He's not a CBI agent. From you, I expect professionalstandards.Rigsby: Yes, boss.Cho arrivesCho: That was the captain of the local c. h.i. p.s.

There was some unlawful search technicality.Lisbon:Either Hodge is a great lawyer...Cho: Or the d. a. turned him in exchange for dropping the charges-planned to use him as an informant.Rigsby: Well, if the saintsfound out-Cho: Yeah, they'd kill him. they did know about the charges.

Some of my best friends are humans. When they get together in great numbers, other lifeforms sometimes suffer.[SCENE_BREAK]The shuttleapproaches Titan. We see the landing area as the shuttle comes in.Cut to a close-up of gloved hands operating the controls of the shuttle. We see the shuttlecoming down from its nosecone.Then we see the shuttle land on the pad and the pad begins to sink into the ground.The hands switch off the controls.The padrotates, with the shuttle on board.The pad begins to move carrying the shuttle with it.The space-suited crew walk through the bridge (we can see through theshuttle cockpit window beyond).COMPUTER: Docking. Docking. Contact. All locked.[SCENE_BREAK]As the crew head through the door, they each take a blaster.They holster the blasters and go through the inner door.MAN (OOV.): Hey, are we glad to see you. Welcome to Titan. You're welcome to it. We're in the mess.Come on down.The crew head toward the doors.The first door is the wrong one, and the leader gestures to another when they hear laughter from behind it.Thedoor slides open.[SCENE_BREAK]MAN: Come on in. Join the party. Our last supper on Titan. Well, come on. Get your gear off and relax. You're going to be hereforThe crew pull their blasters and aim at the three in the mess.MAN: Hey, what kind of a joke is ...The crew fire at the men who fall to the floor dead.

We must find him, destroy him.SAFRAN: Then we can make thisthe ideal place in which to breed and multiply.[SCENE_BREAK]LOWE: Shuttle relief crew. Shuttle relief crew. Come in, please. Shuttle relief crew, this isSupervisor Lowe. Please report. Relief crew, this is the supervisor.

What's gone wrong?SAFRAN: Wrong? There is nothing wrong. This ismost suitable for our purpose. What, what purpose? Safran. Safran, is that you? What has happened?SAFRAN: Who is this Safran?Lowe looks horrified.LOWE:Mayday! Mayday! Mayday! This is Titan Base. Mayday! Mayday! Mayday!Meeker and Silvey approach through the halls and reach the supervisor's door as Loweducks into the IMURJINSEE EGSIT.They burn through the lock and enter the room.MEEKER: The supervisor has escaped.SAFRAN: Leave him. Let himsuffocate.Safran punches the distress signal to silence it.[SCENE_BREAK]Back in the TARDIS Leela is practicing her handwriting on chalkboard.DOCTOR: As soonas I've reset these coordinates, we'll go somewhere really interesting.LOWE (OOV.): Mayday! Mayday! Mayday! This is Titan Base. Mayday! Mayday!Mayday!LEELA: What was that?DOCTOR: Distress call. From Titan. That message took half an hour to get here.LEELA: Is Titan really interesting?DOCTOR: Whatdoes that matter? What's important is that someone needs help!We briefly see the webby thing in space again. Then the Doctor is setting controls.DOCTOR:Quadrant six two. W H I one two one two nine nine zero E X four one. What's the matter?LEELA: I'm troubled.DOCTOR: About what?LEELA: I can feelsomething.DOCTOR: Hey.SAFRAN (OOV.): Titan. This is Titan Base. All vessels, repeat, all vessels disregard mayday.

Nothing important.LEELA: There was a sort of glowall around you.DOCTOR: There was? Oh. Well, a kind of Saint Elmo's fire. It happens at sea.LEELA: Saint Elmo's?DOCTOR: Yes, it causes a sort of halo effectround the masts of ships.LEELA: Halo?DOCTOR: Why do you keep repeating everything I say? You're not a parrot, are you?LEELA: Parrot?DOCTOR: Yes. Aparrot's a bird that repeats things.

We've materialised.[SCENE_BREAK]The crew approach the TARDIS down the corridor.SAFRAN: There is one other with the host. She has been rejected.We must destroy her and dispose of her body with the rest. Take up your positions.[SCENE_BREAK]The Doctor wakes up.DOCTOR: Hello, Lally.LEELA: Are you allright?DOCTOR: Rightly perfect, thank you yet, Lally.LEELA: What did you say?DOCTOR: I said, I'm perfectly all right, thank you, Lally.LEELA: My name isLeela.DOCTOR: Hmm? I know your name. Leela.LEELA: What happened?DOCTOR: Must have had a bot of a shik.LEELA: What?DOCTOR: A bot of a shik.LEELA:Doctor, what is it? What's the matter?DOCTOR: There's a voice or something in my head.LEELA: The evil thing.DOCTOR: Nonsense. Just a nasty turn. Come on,we're on Titan. Let's take a look.He opens the doors and walks into one of them.DOCTOR: That was odd.LEELA: Doctor, don't go out.DOCTOR: What?LEELA: It'sout there. Evil!Lowe has returned to his quarters and grabs a blaster.DOCTOR: We must go. We've had a mayday.LEELA: No. I can feel it is wrong.DOCTOR:What, intuition?LEELA: I don't care what you call it, Doctor. I knew. I knew before that. Before you were affected.DOCTOR: What are you talking about,affected?LEELA: Well, before you were knocked out.DOCTOR: Leela, listen to me. I'm perfectly all right. Move over.[SCENE_BREAK]Out in the corridor Lowecomes up behind the crew outside the TARDIS.LOWE: Drop your weapons. I'm arresting you. All of you!They turn to fire, but Lowe fires first and Silvey drops tothe floor. Lowe dashes back down the corridor and goes in to a cryogenics room.SAFRAN: Close the door. Turn off the oxygen supply.The Doctor opens the outerdoors, peeks out and slams them again.A moment passes and slowly he opens the door again, looking down. Cautiously he exits, Leela behind.DOCTOR: Nobodyaround. Not a soul.He blows a bird call.DOCTOR: Anyone home?LEELA: Doctor, look.They kneel down by Silvey's body.DOCTOR: Disregard mayday. He saiddisregard mayday. Why?LEELA: It is still warm.DOCTOR: Don't be gruesome.LEELA: I am a hunter.DOCTOR: You're a savage.LEELA: Perhaps. I'm not ashamedof what I am and I tell you, Doctor, I can smell danger.DOCTOR: What did you say?LEELA: I said, I can smell danger.DOCTOR: Evil again?LEELA: Everywhere. Inthis place.DOCTOR: We'd better find it before it finds us.LEELA: Right.DOCTOR: Stay here.LEELA: I'm no coward.They both go off in different directions, but theDoctor backs up again.DOCTOR: Now listen, whatever happens...He turns to see Leela has gone, then he sets off again.[SCENE_BREAK]SAFRAN: Settemperature and humidity rate for optimum breeding conditions.MEEKER: Set temperature and humidity rate for optimum breeding conditions.The Doctor comesupon them.DOCTOR: Excuse me, you don't know me. Let me introduce myself.SAFRAN: There is no need. We are preparing the hives now.DOCTOR: People callme the D. Hives?SAFRAN: For the nucleus which you carry within you.DOCTOR: Are you all right? I answered your mayday.They turn to look at him.SAFRAN: Youanswered the call?DOCTOR: That's right, that's right. Has someone been hurt?SAFRAN: It is of no consequence. The physical envelope is of noimportance.MEEKER: Of no importance.DOCTOR: What do you mean, of no importance? I just found a dead body out there.Meeker shoots him in the eyes withhis lightning glance.MEEKER: Now that you have arrived.DOCTOR: I have arrived.SAFRAN: All that matters is that the reject should be destroyed.DOCTOR: Rejectshould be destroyed.SAFRAN: And breeding begin.DOCTOR: And breeding from my nucleus begin.Out in the corridor Leela approaches the Cryogenic"}

Hasn't changed a bit.SABINE /CELESTE: I've been coming here over a century, wearing one face or another.FLASHBACK--LAFAYETTE CEMETERY, 1919[Genevieve approaches a womankneeling in front of a tomb, praying to her ancestors]GENEVIEVE: Clara Summerlin, will you come on? We're gonna miss everything.[The two walk over to wherea crowd of witches are standing around a bonfire, playing congo drums and watching as a witch dances around the flames. Papa Tunde walks out with an albinopython around his shoulders, which he hands to his sons after clapping in order quiet the crowd]GENEVIEVE: Told you. Every witch in the Quarter is here to seethe great Papa Tunde.PAPA TUNDE: Witches of the French Quarter, thank you for your welcome. It is good to be among people of the faith. I, too, practiceancestral magic, honoring those who walked the path before us. From them, we draw strength. And you will need strength, for a great darkness is coming. Thecity your forefathers left you is now overrun by pirates, beasts, and vampires.[Papa Tunde takes the python from his sons and throws it into the fire, and many ofthe witches gasp in surprise and fear]PAPA TUNDE: I practice other magic, as well. Sacrificial magic, channeling power from the lives of my offerings. I use thisstrength to vanquish my enemies, and I will punish your enemies for their greed. In return, you will accept my family into your coven, and me as yourleader.FLASHBACK--A MEETING ROOM, 1919[Two men enter the room and join Elijah and a police officer at a table]ELIJAH: Gentlemen, make yourselves athome. Mayor O'Connell appears to be running late, but there's much to discuss, so I shall begin.KLAUS: [walks down the stairs to join them] One moment,please, brother. You know how much I enjoy these illicit, little gatherings.ELIJAH: [to the men] Do not be troubled. Despite my brother's reputation, I can assureyou, we've invited you here to broker in peace. You have my word.KLAUS: And, lucky for you, my brother always keeps his word. You two are from the Guerreracrime family, a brutish pack of thieves and killers. And that's nothing compared to what you become on a full moon, is it?ELIJAH: Yes, yes, yes. Of course, a bitefrom your kind is not lethal to an Original. Conflict between us would not end well for you at all. Let's state our proposal here. My brother and I control the portsof the city, but with Prohibition soon to be the law of the land, there'll be a certain uptick in the kind of federal presence we prefer to avoid. Therefore, I'd like tosuggest a system whereby, under our supervision, of course, the Guerrera family can traffic alcohol into the city of New Orleans for a profit. We would still be incharge, but our rule would remain a secret.[Papa Tunde walks into the room with his sons following behind him]PAPA TUNDE: This all sounds very good, but tellme, how will it benefit the witches?ELIJAH: I am sorry. This is a private meeting.PAPA TUNDE: Yes, for kings of the city, but I, too, am a king, and I haverules.KLAUS: I'm impressed. You're either quite ambitious or quite mad. What's your name, mate?PAPA TUNDE: I am Alphonse Bellatunde Delgado, Papa Tundeto my followers, and I come to ask that the witches be granted fair tribute for allowing your existence in our city.ELIJAH: Are you suggesting that you speak forthe french quarter witches?PAPA TUNDE: I do now, and I expect our future negotiations to go very smoothly. As a guarantee, I brought a gift. I await our nextgathering.[A small leather case is placed on the table. Papa Tunde and his sons leave. Everyone else gathers around as Klaus lifts the lid on the trunk to reveal ahead inside with a symbol carved into his forehead]KLAUS: Well, I suppose we'll need a new mayor.PRESENT DAY--THE ABBATOIR COURTYARD[Marcel comesdown the stairs into the courtyard with a bottle of bourbon in his hand. Diego sees him enter and approaches him as Marcel walks over to sit down at atable]DIEGO: Hey, Marcel, maybe you know what's going on. Klaus ordered us to meet here, and now he's a no-show.MARCEL: What do you want from me? It's anew regime. Get used to it.[Klaus enters the room with Thierry and makes an announcment]KLAUS: Dearest brethren, your attention, please. No doubt, you're allsurprised to see Thierry Vanchure, who's supposed to be rotting in the Garden for the crime of killing one of our own, and I personally decided to issue him with apardon. I hope you'll all welcome home Thierry.[Thierry smiles and gives Diego a hug]DIEGO: Welcome home, man.MARCEL: [to Klaus] You're in a good mood.You should visit Mystic Falls more often.KLAUS: Well, as much as I might like to, I have pressing responsibilities here. [turns to address the crowd of vampires]Now, as you all know, the witch Davina is no longer with us. Without Davina, we can no longer monitor the activity of our witch neighbors. However, since theirHarvest failed, their magic will soon be gone forever. Until then, I say we keep them on their toes. Diego, I wonder if you might lead a rousting in thecauldron.[Diego smiles and starts to plan with the other vampires. Marcel grabs his bottle and goes to storm away, but Klaus stops him in the doorway]KLAUS:Marcel, I'd hoped you would join Diego.MARCEL: Nah. I'm gonna take a personal day. [He pushes past Klaus and leaves]IN THE FRENCH QUARTER[Rebekah andElijah walk through the streets of the Quarter as they talk about recent events]ELIJAH: Now, you may doubt him, but today, I saw Niklaus demonstrate mercytowards an enemy. Tell me that's not progress.REBEKAH: Please, Elijah. Who do you think convinced Klaus to let Thierry out?ELIJAH: Why would you do such athing?REBEKAH: Because, despite Klaus' reprieve, Thierry despises him. I like that about Thierry. I also like that he used to date a witch, so he knows aboutFrench Quarter covens. Maybe he can lead me to whoever stole off with the Harvest magic.ELIJAH: Rebekah, we are all devastated by the outcome of thisritual.REBEKAH: That's just it. There was no outcome. We both know that power like that doesn't just vanish. I say someone stole it. I'd like to know who, andthen I'd like to make an ally out of them.ELIJAH: To what end, exactly?REBEKAH: I'm tired of being threatened and controlled by our tyrant brother. If you wantto stop a bully, you need the power to stand up to them.ELIJAH: I expect such behavior from Niklaus. It's so very disappointing when it comes from you,Rebekah. Do you not see that, in his way, he's making an effort here? He's invited us back into our family home. He yearns for our family to bereunited.REBEKAH: Yes. He's in a brilliant mood now, but for how long? It's his trick, Elijah. He lulls you into a false sense of camaraderie and kinship, and thenhe turns on you like a snake. I fall for it every time and wind up with a dagger in my chest for my trouble. No more.ELIJAH: I believe that he is approaching somesemblance of peace here. Leadership may, in fact, be a good thing for him. Now, sister, please, I ask you, if you cannot support him, then at least do nothing toprovoke him.THE ABBATOIR COMPOUND[Klaus enters one of the rooms of the compound and finds Marcel, still drinking alone as he sits on a couch]KLAUS: Ugh,is this what's it's come to? I bear the full weight of our kingdom while you pout like a child.MARCEL: You wanted to be king. Besides, you look like you got itcovered.KLAUS: If the men see you shirk your duties, they're likely to do the same.MARCEL: I told you, I am not in the mood for vampire hijinks.KLAUS: No.You'd rather sit wallowing in sorrow for your lost little friend.MARCEL: [stands up and points a finger at Klaus] Don't push me right now.KLAUS: I am sorry Davinais gone, ok? I'm sorry, but this mournful attitude is unworthy of you, and it's boring to me.[Diego enters the room to join them, looking worried]DIEGO: Hey,guys, we got a problem.THE CAULDRON[Thunder rumbles overhead as Diego leads Marcel and Klaus to the Cauldron to show them what he found]DIEGO: Wecame to mess with the witches, just like you said. And these two, they went missing. Found them like this, not even staked. Just dead.MARCEL: That's two moreof my guys gone. Nice job, Captain.[Marcel takes one look at his dead men, puts his hood up, turns around, and starts to walk away]KLAUS: Where are yougoing? Someone has to account for this!MARCEL: You want revenge, get it yourself. That mark is tied to some bad mojo. Any of y'all got any brains, you'll headback to the compound and stay the hell out of this.[Marcel walks off. Klaus turns to Diego]KLAUS: We're gonna find whoever did this, and I will show them whatsuffering is.A WAREHOUSE AT THE DOCKS[Thierry and Rebekah walk into a warehouse to investigate]THIERRY: Used to run things down here for Marcel. Thoughtyou'd like to see what I found before Klaus did.REBEKAH: [smirks] Not a day out of the Garden, and you're already proving yourself useful.THIERRY: We made adeal, and if it screws things for your brother, I'm all for it. Though, to be honest, this stuff makes my skin crawl. I've never seen anything like this.[They stop infront of another salt circle on the ground with two dead vampires inside. Both are desiccated and have the same symbol carved into their foreheads]REBEKAH: Ihave, a long time ago. Somebody is copycatting a very dangerous witch. They draw their power from sacrifice.THIERRY: I just don't understand why someonewould leave it here for us to find.REBEKAH: Unless they wanted it to be found.[Papa Tunde appears from the shadows behind them. Rebekah notices him in shockand horror]PAPA TUNDE: Mademoiselle Mikaelson.REBEKAH: That's not possible.PAPA TUNDE: Sure, it is, chére. It's magic.[Rebekah speed vamps toward him totry to kill him, but Papa Tunde simply reaches out and grabs her by the throat]PAPA TUNDE: Symbole du masque et de l'ombre, embrace-toi. Embrace-toi.Symbole du masque et de l'ombre, embrace-toi. Embrace-toi. Symbole du masque et de l'ombre, embrace-toi. Embrace-toi. Symbole du masque et de l'ombre,embrace-toi.[Rebekah starts to desiccate, and thick gray veins pop up all over her face and neck. Terrified, Thierry speed vamps and disappears out of thewarehouse]COMPOUND COURTYARD[Klaus, Elijah, Diego, and many of the other vampires are congregating in the courtyard, discussing their currentsituation]KLAUS: Ah! Someone will die for this.ELIJAH: Remarkably, I don't disagree. However, I would like to know where they learned such dark magic.KLAUS:I had hoped never to see that symbol again. I recall it is the signature of a fool who once stood against us.ELIJAH: Clearly, some upstart witch is salvaging oldtricks.KLAUS: I'll do for him as I did the other. [turns to Diego] Diego, when night falls, I want you to gather every vampire in the Quarter. Get me the head ofwhoever did this and put it on a stick.DIEGO: Yeah. That's gonna be a problem. Everyone is freaked out, man. We haven't had witches killing vampires in a longtime. Marcel made sure of that.KLAUS: Marcel has run off like a scared child. You lot are left with me. Now, who of you will fight to defend our home? [looksaround to see that no one comes forward] Not a single one of you will stand with me, so afraid are you of this new threat? You should know better. I'll handle this"}

The service... it's very expensive because the people, we... don't know that we are...escorts.Danny: How is that possible?Doppelganger: We pretend. We pretend to meet them by chance, we pretend to be won over by their charms... we pretendto... for pleasure... which takes some serious pretending.Danny: Who pays you?Doppelganger: Our clients aren't the people we... We report back. So and so...likes it like this. So and so... likes a little of this. ( He sniffs )Danny: Blackmail?Doppelganger: But that's not my business.Danny: You just do thef*cking.Doppelganger: I just do the f*cking.[SCENE_BREAK]( Alex gasps )Doppelganger (O.C.): They told me to meet him... in the way you methim.Doppelganger: I'm sorry...Doppelganger (O.C.): An accident. They told me to be like you. They told me to act like you.[SCENE_BREAK]Doppelganger: In theend, Alex wasn't so tricky. He just needed to believe... he was being good... all the way up until he was being... a little bit bad. How do you seduce a goodman?Doppelganger (O.C.): My approach was simple. I told him a sad story.Doppelganger: I tell him it's the will and last testament of my mother. And mymother, she never loved me, bitch. In her will, the bitch leaves just three things to me. Just three paintings. That's all. And Alex, listening like a puppy dog. And Itell him, heartbroken... they are the three paintings I painted for her. I'm an artist, I say... No, not yet an artist, aspiring to be.Danny: Pretending tobe.Doppelganger: That's a true story. I am an artist.Danny: What?Doppelganger: What do you think? I grew up wanting to be an escort? Enough, Danny. Enoughwith not believing. What do you need? I'll give it to you? Hmm? You need those little details? A birthmark on the inside of his thigh? Something whispered?Something moaned? He had a thirst, I can tell you that. Like a man crawling out of the desert. Yeah? Throat dry. Lips dry. Gulping up all those missedyears.Danny: Where?Doppelganger: My place.Danny: Your place?Doppelganger: My fake place.Danny: Why did he come round?Doppelganger: To see mypaintings, of course.[SCENE_BREAK]Danny: What did you do?Doppelganger (O.C.): You hate yourself for asking.Doppelganger: So...Doppelganger (O.C.): Butyou had to know.Doppelganger: I'll be right back, OK? Give me a second.Doppelganger (O.C.): You had to ask... what did we do?Doppelganger: We played agame. How long can we talk without mentioning the only thing we were both thinking about? The first game lasted an hour. The second game... lasted a littlelonger...( Alex pants )[SCENE_BREAK]Doppelganger: I rang him afterwards, but he didn't answer. The client wanted more. But Alex wasn't interested.Danny:Why wouldn't you tell me that he kept coming back?Doppelganger: Because I can see you're good at sniffing a lie. So, I told you the truth.Danny: Why did theyhire you?Doppelganger: I don't know, I don't care. It's just a job.Danny: He's dead. Your job. He was murdered. You think you're not involved? Because youseem like a loose end to me.Doppelganger: I was told to pay for our dinner.Danny: Hey? How else are you going to let them know what a great job youdid?Doppelganger: I can see strings on you too.[SCENE_BREAK]Danny: What are you thinking?Alex: Say it again.Danny: What are you thinking?Alex:Nothing.[SCENE_BREAK]Scottie: You were Alex's first experience of love. If he enjoyed a second, would you seem less important? Could the thrill of the newreplace the comfort of the old? Watergate wasn't just about bugging the opposition. They used prostitutes to collect information on rival candidates to shamethem, manipulate them, destroy them. s*x has always been a means of control. In the end, your relationship became a threat to their relationship with him. Hechanged you, you changed him, priorities altered, loyalties altered. I noticed it in our friendship. The two of you were besotted. The rest of the world ceased toexist, but Alex was one of their most important minds. Did you imagine they'd just allow him to drift away?Danny: I didn't think about it.Scottie: It's all THEYwould've thought about. What binds this brilliant young man to us? The Queen? Our history? His parents?Danny: I accept that I didn't know anything abouthis...work. His job. The truth is, I didn't really know him as a person either. I didn't know him.Scottie: Of all the attacks they've used, including your health, theone that has proved most effective is smut. For you, of all people.Danny: He made a mistake, that's not it. But why didn't he tell me? Some of it? Any ofit?Scottie: Because you wanted him to be perfect. He saw that more clearly than you.[SCENE_BREAK]Danny: It was his funeral last week. Do you know how Ifound out? I heard about it on the news. He was buried at a private ceremony for... close friends and family.Scottie: I can't count how many men I've comfortedwhen their partners were dying and the family wouldn't allow them into the hospital, or the church where they're buried. I'm tired of it... tired of hearing about it.He wasn't close to his parents, he was close to you. Hold your own funeral, say your own goodbye.Danny: That's what I should be doing. Sayinggoodbye.[SCENE_BREAK]Danny: What am I doing all this other stuff for? Because Alex discovered some government secret? So what? Cos they lied about a war?They spy on us? Who..? What's it got to do with me?[SCENE_BREAK]Danny: And you know, I don't know any code. I don't.Danny (O.C.): So, I don'tknow...Danny: Maybe, whatever those secrets are, maybe they weren't meant for me.Scottie: Then, that's that.[SCENE_BREAK]( Distant seagulls )Danny: Doyou believe in soul mates?Alex: No. Not only do I not believe in them... it's not even a nice idea.Danny: Not a nice idea?Alex: That there's only just one otherperson out there for you. What are the odds this person would be in the same country? Or the same city? That their paths would even cross? It would meanalmost everyone in the world is with the wrong person. If it's a way of saying, \"we're good together\", why not just say... \"we're good together\"? But if you mean itliterally...Danny: You think there are better people out there for you?Alex: There might be. For both of us. But since we don't know them, it's just atheoretical.Danny: Yes. It's... a sentimental idea. The maths doesn't add up. But... we're by the fire, we're under a night sky. Couldn't you just have said\"yes\"?Alex: Is that what your soul mate would've done?[SCENE_BREAK]Danny: Can it be opened?Silversmith: If you know the code.[SCENE_BREAK]Alex: This isus.Danny: Oh, I've done a lot of things with a lot of different people and... that's part of the reason I'm sure... that we're something special. But, for you, it... Idon't want you to stay with me just because I'm the first. So, you should see other people. You should.Alex: I don't want to.Danny: I only meant...Alex: I don'tneed to.Alex: .. that there's only just one other person out there for you.[SCENE_BREAK]( Dog barks )( Doorbell rings )Danny: Scottie? Scottie?! Scottie?( Faintmurmuring )Danny: Scottie?! Scottie?Scottie: I was just remembering.Danny: Huh?Scottie: A place. I was remembering... a place.Danny: Right, we need to getyou to the hospital.Scottie: Will you just listen to me, for once, Danny?!Danny: You were remembering... a place.Scottie: A place where no-one cares.Pathetic.[SCENE_BREAK]Danny: Thank you.Scottie: My parents used to chide me. \"You were such a happy child.\"Danny: How long?Scottie: Like this? Threeweeks. Worse and worse each day. Now as bad as it's ever been. It can't be coincidence, can it? 30 years I've been OK and, now, like this?Danny: Why mightsomeone who's managed depression for 30 years suddenly suffer a relapse? For no reason?[SCENE_BREAK]Danny: This is what we're going to do. We'll get newpills. Real pills from a different doctor. You can keep them on you at all... Unless they switch them before they give them to you. I'll get them illegally. I knowsomeone. He can get anything.Scottie: On your shell. Until they find a crack. A frailty. A vulnerability. No matter how small. And then they pick away.Scottie:How do you kill an alcoholic? With alcohol. How do you kill a drug addict? With drugs. How do you kill a depressive?Danny: Where'd you get them?Dealer: Peopletell the doctor whatever story, collect a prescription, sell it to me. They're good. It's all good. Always good from me. Do you want something else?Danny: No.Nothing else.[SCENE_BREAK]Scottie: Thank you. Have you examined the contents?Danny: We're going to need help.Scottie: With help comes risk.

She's angry with you, brother.Lucifer: Well, is it Tuesday already? Anger is Maze's default setting, sort of baked into her demonDNA.Amenadiel: No, this is different, Luci. I think you really need to talk to her.Lucifer: She'll get over it; she always does. Right now, we have bigger issues todeal with, like whether or not Mum is wasting our time.Amenadiel: If she believes her client has found another piece of the Flaming Sword, so do I.Lucifer: Oh,such a loyal son. But Mum hasn't adapted to this world as well as you might think. This chap could be conning her... I think I'm gonna go make sure...Amenadiel:She seems to be doing just fine. Charlotte puts a briefcase on the table.Lucifer: That's not the money, is it?Amenadiel: Of course not. She wouldn't bring it to themeeting.Lucifer: Oh, no. Of course not. I mean, that would be absurd, wouldn't it?Amenadiel: She's just showing it to him. I mean, it's not like she's gonna handit to him before she... Gets the piece. That's great.

He didn't con me.Lucifer: Look, instead he's dead, and someone robbed himof what's ours... Much better. Well, the good news is, after this spectacular bungling, I happen to work with a homicide detective.Charlotte: If you find the killer,then you'll find our piece of the Flaming Sword.Amenadiel: Hey, but, Mom...Lucifer: The challenge is... Making sure we catch the case before some otherdetective.Amenadiel: But what about...Charlotte: I may be able to help.Lucifer: Really? I'm all ears. Lucifer and Charlotte leave.

Chloe is working.Lucifer: Hey, I should get my own desk.Chloe: Not happening.Lucifer: Right next to yours would probablybe best.Chloe: Definitely not happening. Why are you hovering over me?Lucifer: I'm not hovering. I'm just spending time with my partner.Chloe: Oh, well, sinceyou're here, why don't you help me with this paperwork. I could really get used to this, partner.Lucifer: Right. Yes, on second thought, maybe a desk in the farcorner might...Chloe: Mm-mm.Lucifer: Oh! Ms. Richards.Charlotte: Detective Decker. Just the woman I was hoping to see.Chloe: Well, I feel the opposite. Ifyou'll excuse me.Charlotte: Hear me out. A client of mine called. He sounded very worried. I think he might be in terrible danger.Lucifer: Oh, that's awful.Detective, we should do something.Charlotte: He's at a bar downtown. Would you come with me and make sure that he's okay?Chloe: Nope.Charlotte:Nope?Chloe: I'm a homicide cop. I do not go around checking on worried criminals like a nanny, Charlotte. So if we're done here...Charlotte: I heard... Things...On a... On-on the phone call.Chloe: Like?Charlotte: Fingers... Pointing.Chloe: You heard... Fingers pointing?Charlotte: Very angrily. Yes... Also, a gunshot.Sounded like he was... Dying, or, um... Melting? It's hard to tell.Chloe: Charlotte...Lucifer: It sounds worth our time, actually.Chloe: Agreed. Why didn't you justlead with that? Chloe, Lucifer and Charlotte enter in the crime scene.Chloe: The lock's damaged.Lucifer: Is it?Chloe: Looks like you're right. He's been dead aboutan hour.Lucifer: Oh? Impressive guess, Detective. Uh, I'm assuming from the... Discoloration... Well, that wasn't a complete Dumpster fire, but now that we'refinished, you can see yourself out.Charlotte: I'll do nothing of the sort.Lucifer: Fine. I'll show you out, if you insist.Charlotte: I'm not going anywhere.Lucifer: Butthe detective and I have got everything handled now.Charlotte: This is far too important to leave to just the two of you. I will stick around.Lucifer:Mum.Charlotte: Besides, we'll get to work together. Won't that be fun? Ella is here to exam the body.Ella: We're running tests for gunshot residue and cocaine.Should have those in, like, five minutes.Chloe: Okay. Good... Oh, Charlotte. You're still here, huh?Charlotte: Well, he was my client. I thought I might be of helpto the case.Lucifer: But if not, we could always get her to shoo along and we can carry on with our business.Chloe: No. I'm sure she could be very helpful. So tellme, why does Zeke Moore, a manager at an import/export company, have you representing him?Charlotte: Because I'm the best.Chloe: At getting criminalsoff.Charlotte: Well, that's not true. I haven't slept with any of my clients.Chloe: What? You represent the worst of the worst. So why was Zeke a client?Charlotte:Because he works for Bianca Ruiz.Lucifer: What? The tequila magnate?Chloe: Bianca's tequila empire is a front. She uses the distribution routes to sell guns,drugs, and, oh, yeah, people. So we've been after her for a long time.Charlotte: Who do you think did this? A rival of some sort?Chloe: Well, that's actually agood question. Ella, what do we have?Ella: Well, no smoking gun, but poor Zeke here got shot twice. First in the thigh... Bullet winged him... And then anotherwent through his hand hitting him in the chest. Probably trying to defend himself. Too bad you can't catch bullets.Lucifer: Well, he can't maybe.Chloe: I don'tthink this was a professional hit. Maybe a robbery gone wrong.Charlotte: And idea of what was taken?Ella: Well, trace elements point to cash, cocaine,gunpowder residue, indicating weapons... All your basic bad guy stuff. No sign of forced entry, though.Chloe: Which means the killer either knew the combination,or he just waited for the vic to open it to strike.Ella: Mm-hmm. Hey, I got something here. Cell phone. No dust on it, so it hasn't been there long.Chloe: Well,Zeke had his phone on him, so this one could be the killer's. Maybe he dropped it during the fight or just didn't have time to retrieve it.Ella: Passcode protected,of course. But the home screen is... Two eyes?Charlotte: Human female breasts.Lucifer: No. That is a woman's perfectly freckled rump.Chloe: So our lead on thekiller is a pair of butt-boob-eyes. It's a great start. At the station, Daniel studies Bianca Ruiz's file. Charlotte comes.Charlotte: Hello, Daniel.Daniel: What are youdoing here?Charlotte: Ms. Ruiz there... Is my client.Daniel: Well, she's a real piece of work.Charlotte: Trying to make me jealous?Daniel: What do you want fromme? You seduce me, you betray me, now you're back. You have to want something, I just can't figure out what.Charlotte: I do want something, you're right. AndI'll tell you. Just somewhere private.Daniel: I'm not having s*x with you here.Charlotte: But I need something to pass the time until we get a lead.Daniel: I don'tunderstand you. All right, whatever this is between us.Charlotte: Well, it's simple, Daniel Espinoza... I like you. Music comes from the lab.Ella: You guys, it's arecord label. The symbol on the phone we found is the label's logo.Lucifer: And they choose to publish this music of their own free will?Ella: It's a vanity label. Itexists only to make this one guy's music.Chloe: Okay, well, who owns it? And can you please turn it off?Ella: Chet Ruiz.Charlotte: Bianca's youngest son. Half ourbilling goes to keeping him out of jail.Chloe: So Bianca's own son robbed and killed one of her most loyal soldiers?Daniel: The files barely mention Chet. I didn'tknow he was actually part of the family business.Charlotte: He's not. Bianca tries to keep him as far away from it all as possible.Chloe: Maybe he started to resentthat, decided to make a play?Lucifer: And then dropped his phone, proving just how right his mother was about him.Chloe: Well, if Chet is the killer, this could beour chance to take down Bianca, as well. Cut off the head of her entire operation. This could be huge.Ella: Yeah. Bummer is the phone proves that Chet was in theroom but doesn't definitively tie him to the murder.Chloe: Dan, why don't you work on hacking the passcode. I'll have a chat with Chet. And, Charlotte, thank youso much for your help. But now that one of your clients is our main suspect, it's best you go.Charlotte: I don't think I have to go quite yet.Chloe: Maybe not, but Ithink you should.Charlotte: Bianca's having a party today. It's the launch of her new tequila. I'm sure Chet will be there, and... I'm invited.Chloe: Why do youwant to help us now?Charlotte: Because we all want the same thing: to find out who robbed and killed Zeke.Daniel: You know, Chloe, it would be a good chancefor us to go undercover. Gather some intel before they even know we're onto them.Chloe: All right.Lucifer: Fine. Good. It's settled. The Detective and I will go, sothank you so much for your help.Charlotte: I don't think so. The invitation is under my name. I will go. Perhaps Detective Espinoza should join me.Lucifer: No.Yes, that's not happening. Uh, very well. I'll go with you...Chloe: No, I'll go with Charlotte.Lucifer: But, Detective...Chloe: No more argument.Charlotte: Very well.But I suggest you go shopping. This isn't the kind of place you can attend in pajamas.Lucifer: This is ridiculous.Chloe: Pajamas?Ella: What if Ella goes to theparty? That sounds like a great idea. Oh, my God. Thank you so much for thinking of me. But you know what? I'm so busy. Lucifer enters in Linda's practice. Mazeis waiting for him.Lucifer: I have been sidelined by my own mother and the Detective. It's absurd. I won't stand for it. I am gonna find a way into thatparty.Maze: Do you always whine like this? I don't know how she puts up with it.Lucifer: Where's Dr. Linda?Maze: Suspended. Because of you. Because you havebeen a terrible, selfish friend... To her. Now you're gonna fix it.Lucifer: Well, gladly, once I figure a way back onto the case.Maze: No, Lucifer.

On any level, do you think she's hot?Stuart: We'll find somebody else.Scene: The apartment.Sheldon: Kumquat?Amy: I guess.Sheldon:Ointment?Amy: Sure.Sheldon: Now, would you say ointment is more, equal to, or less funny than kumquat?Amy: I don't think I want to go out with youanymore.Sheldon: Will you please stop joking around? I'm trying to figure this out.Amy: Sheldon, how many words are you gonna go through?Sheldon: All ofthem.[SCENE_BREAK]Scene: Penny's apartment.Penny: You didn't get your part cut.Voice on TV: All right, baby, here's the deal.Penny: And you didn't get yourpart cut. Yep, bunch of old guys rocking out in a band, all with erectile dysfunction, you didn't get your part cut!Leonard: Hey. Can we talk?Penny: We can, butthe part of Penny might get cut.Leonard: That was really crappy of me. What you're trying to do is hard, but people do make it, and I really do believe you couldbe one of them.Penny: Thank you.Leonard: And to show you how much I believe in you, I kind of got you an audition.Penny: Are you serious? For what?Leonard:The new Star Wars movie.Penny: What? How did you manage that?Leonard: There's this thing online, you put yourself on tape and just send it in, anyone can doit.Penny: Come on Leonard, this is just a PR stunt.Leonard: So? Even if it is, you have a huge advantage because you're an actual actress. Most of the peopledoing this are just weirdoes and nerds. Wolowitz sent his in two days ago.Penny: Really, let it go.Leonard: Look, maybe it is a long shot, but sometimes longshots happen. Luke Skywalker was only given one chance to destroy the Death Star. He had to get a torpedo into an exhaust port that was only two meters wide,but with the help of The Force, he... wow, I can feel you hating me right now.Scene: The mall.Stuart: How about that lady in the sweat suit, speed-walking?Raj:Yeah, she seems friendly and easy to... never mind, she's gone. You know, maybe talking to people is too hard.Stuart: We could go over to that departmentstore, practice on the mannequins.Raj: I don't know. They're dressed very stylishly.

We grew - closer together and I think...\" Cordy runs past him.Cordy: \"Groo!\"Groo: \"Princess!\" They hug.Cordy: \"Oh god, Ican't believe it!\"Lorne to Angel: \"He just showed up\" Fred (voice-over as Angel goes to check on Connor): \"I thought for sure she was meant to be with Angel. Iguess you never can predict those things.\" Angel is leaning on Connor's crib, looking down at his son. Lorne comes up beside him.Angel: \"It's strange.\"Lorne:\"Hmm.\"Angel: \"I remember him being taller.\"Lorne: \"A trick of the light. They don't actually get smaller until they're very, very old.\"Angel: \"I didn't mean thebaby.\"Lorne: \"I know you didn't.\"Angel: \"I meant the Groosalug.\"Lorne: \"I know you did.\"Angel: \"Did he seem, ah, - I don't know - short?\"Lorne: \"Oh, absolutely.Clearly the guy shrank - all over, probably.

I'm sure once Cordelia gets himhome, she'll just pop him into a smallish drawer, and that will be that.\"Angel, adjusting his cuffs: \"She took him home. Well - well, that's good. At least we won'thave to put him up here. The place was starting to turn into a hotel.\"Lorne: \"So - so you don't have a problem with that then?\"Angel: \"Of course not. Why wouldI?\" Lorne sniffs Angel's tux jacket.Lorne: \"Oh, I don't know. Maybe because I don't remember you wearing this perfume when you left this evening?\" Angel takesthe jacket from him.Angel: \"Okay. There may have been some magic.\"Lorne: \"There. You see?\"Angel: \"Actual *magic,* Lorne. Whatever happened, it was aspell. It's worn off now. There's nothing between Cordelia and me.\"Lorne: \"Sure there is. And it got arms like steel cables and a deeply ironic sense of timing.\"Angel goes to hang his jacket into a closet.Angel: \"You know, it's good that the Groosalug showed up when he did. You were right. Cordelia deserves a champion,and now she's got one.\"Lorne: \"Well, what about you?\"Angel: \"I'm fine. I've been a solo-act most of my two hundred fourty plus years. And when I wasn't? Neverturned out well. I like being alone.\" The camera frames Angel and Lorne from inside the closet as Angel hangs up the jacket.Lorne: \"Fine, Ms. Garbo. Have it yourway. Be alone.\" The closet door closes, and the screen goes dark - only to show us Angel again as he opens the door again a moment later. Angel reaches in,takes out the jacket on its hanger and sniffs at it for just a moment before hanging it back up and closing the door as he turns away. The camera looks out ofanother closet, this time at Cordy changing out of her evening dress.Cordy: \"So, ahem, you got deposed, huh?\" Groo, pacing in her living room: \"Yes.\"Cordy:\"Huh. That sucks.\"Groo: \"The people turned against me.\"Cordy: \"Yeah, well, they'll do that.\"Groo: \"Endless committees were formed. Committees splintered intofactions, the factions into coalitions, the coalitions turned into subcommittees, until finally the more radical element, spurred by a charismatic leader, did thedance of revolution.\" Cordy comes out of her bedroom, wearing a red sweater and jeans.Cordy: \"And here you are.\"Groo: \"Yes.\"Cordy: \"So - you don't miss it?You know, the power, castle, concubines, and the royal chippies.\"Groo: \"There was never anyone else.\"Cordy: \"Oh.\"Groo: \"I welcomed the overthrow. The tediumof government was too much to bear after a life on the battlefield.\" Cordy, running a finger down the side of Groo's face: \"Your heart wasn't really in it.\"Groo:\"No. That left when you did.\" Groo slowly leans forward and they kiss. The camera circles around them and as we come back to see the Groosalug's face he hassuddenly turned into an ugly, spiny, black monster. Cordy pulls back, staring at him. Groo's voice coming from the monster: \"Princess?\" Cordy takes a stepback.Groo, looking like himself again: \"Is something wrong?\" Intro Angel comes down the stairs into the lobby, carrying Connor. Wesley is moving about behindthe reception counter.Angel: \"Hey.\"Wes: \"Morning.\"Angel: \"You, ah, you're the only one here?\"Wes: \"So far. - How's young Connor today?\"Angel: \"He's good.Cordelia, she's - usually in by now, isn't she?\"Wes: \"It's early. I imagine she and Groosalug where up late. They have a lot of catching up to do.\"Angel: \"Right. Ah.'They.'\" Angel goes to put Connor down in a bassinet in Wes' office. Wes follows him.Wes: \"Actually, I was hoping you and I could talk before the others gothere.\"Angel: \"Sure. What is it?\"Wes: \"Well - it's the fact of him. I know his sudden arrival was something we all needed a moment to digest. - Still, there arequestions.\"Angel: \"You're suspicious.\"Wes: \"'Cautious' might be a better word.\"Angel: \"You think he's evil.\"Wes: \"Evil?\"Angel: \"Okay, maybe not evil, but - he'sdefinitely hiding something. Does he seem shorter to you?\" Wes glances down into the bassinet.Wes: \"We are both talking about Connor, aren't we?\"Angel:\"What about Connor.\"Wes: \"He shouldn't exist.\"Angel: \"His birth was foretold. How many people can say that?\"Wes: \"He has a role to play, that's true, but westill don't know what that role is. - Angel, we can't be afraid to ask the questions, because your enemies, *his* enemies, certainly won't be.\"Angel: \"You're right.We should be prepared.\"Wes: \"I'm glad you agree. However, with the loss of the Nyazian Prophecies, we'll probably have to look elsewhere for ouranswers.\"Angel: \"Well, we both know where those prophecies went. Maybe it's time to make another assault on Wolfram and Hart.\"Wes: \"That might not benecessary. Not yet, anyway. There should be other sources. Ancient works accumulate scholarship, commentary over the years.\"Angel: \"Huh. You thinksomebody else has already done the work for us.\"Wes: \"That's my hope. I've been looking into it. I just... I felt you should know.\"Angel: \"I wanna be involved,completely.\"Cordy: \"Involved with who?\" Angel spins around to see Cordy put some stuff down on the reception counter, and walks out of Wes' office.Angel:\"You're here. And...(Sees Groo standing in front of the weapons cabinet, trying out one of the swords) ... so is he.\"Groo: \"Angel. Your weapons are mostimpressive.\"Angel: \"Thanks. Thank you. (Grabs a hold of Cordy's arm, never taking his eyes off Groo) Can you, uh, ask him not to handle my weapons?\"Cordy:\"Oh, relax. If there's one thing Groo knows, it's how to handle a weapon. - Poor guy. Looks like that's about all he's gonna be handling.\"Angel: \"You mean, ah,you two didn't...\"Cordy: \"I got him home last night and we started... you know. - But then - I couldn't go through with it.\"Angel: \"You couldn't?\"Cordy: \"No. Notafter seeing that disgusting, spiny thing!\" Angel throws a look at Groo before following Cordy into Wes' office.Angel: \"Spiny?\"Cordy: \"Right up in my face! That'swhat the visions are like now. No pain, less artsy, sometimes floaty, though not lately, and very often stinky.\"Wes: \"You had a vision?\"Cordy: \"Yeah. Big as life(Shows them a sketch she drew of the monster) last night, while Groo and I were getting reacquainted. Kind of a mood killer, I got to say.\"Wes: \"You should havecalled one of us.\"Cordy: \"Oh, please! Like I'm gonna bother you guys in the middle of the night because I want s*x and can't have it.\"Wes: \"Actually, I meant thevision.\"Cordy: \"Oh. That. Well, it's not rising up until sometime later today.\"Wes: \"Oh. Why can't you have s*x?\"Cordy: \"I could lose my 'visionity.'\"Wes: \"If youwanna play it that way.\"Cordy: \"*Vision*-ity! The visions. When that one hit my last night, it hit me. In Pylea the visions were supposed to pass to Groo if weever did the royal com-shuck. How do I know that won't happen here?\"Angel: \"Good point. You really don't.\"Wes: \"But your recent transformation could havechanged all that. It might be possible to...\" Angel kicks the side of Wes' desk as he moves his foot.Angel: \"Still, you know, better safe than sorry. (To Cordy)You're doing the right thing.\"Cordy: \"I know. I know. I can't risk it. It's just - I'm so... (Looks out of the office to where Groo is still swinging that sword) And he'ssuch a... Rrrr.. (Turns to smile at Wes and Angel) Don't you think?\" Angel and Wes both look down.Angel: \"Yeah, sure.\"Wes: \"Certainly.\"Cordy: \"I mean, there'sgotta be other things we can do to relieve the tension!\"Angel: \"Jogging could be the thing.\"Wes: \"Perhaps some form of paranormal prophylactic...\"Angel:\"Because, you know, jogging...\"Cordy, still watching Groo: \"I guess we could probably 'com' without actually 'shucking.'\"Angel: \"Well, I don't know. That could bea slippery slope that once you're on, that you could - slide.\"Cordy: \"At least I won't be upsetting the average around here. Nobody in *this* office is ever gonnaget any.\" Gunn is sitting across from Fred in a diner, watching her eat.Gunn: \"It's funny.\"Fred: \"The way I chew?\"Gunn: \"No. Until that kiss last night, I wouldhave thought you and Wesley had a thing for each other.\"Fred: \"Wesley?\"Gunn: \"Yeah.\"Fred: \"No, we're just good friends.\"Gunn: \"You want another order ofthose?\"Fred: \"Yes, please.\" Fred puts a hand on Gunn's wrist as he looks around for a waitress.Fred: \"Oh. No. No, I'm not hungry.\"Gunn: \"You sure? I lovewatching you eat.\"Fred: \"Wow. (They both look down, fidgeting and smiling) - We should probably go. People might start to talk.\"Gunn laughs: \"Why wouldthey?\"Fred: \"Well, you know, us.\"Gunn: \"'Us' has been doing breakfast for weeks now. Everyone knows that.\"Fred: \"I know, but now that we've kissed, things aredifferent. - I mean, they are, right?\"Gunn, smiling at her: \"Oh yeah.\"Fred: \"So - so you don't think they can tell?\"Gunn looks around: \"From here?\"Fred laughs:\"I'm sorry. I'm being ridiculous, I know. It's just - I don't have a lot of experience in this area.

If you go here, your parents are either millionaires or your parents work for millionaires. Neptune, California. A town without amiddle class. If you're in the second group, you get a job. Fast food, movie theatres, mini-marts. Or you could be me. My after-school job means tailingphilandering spouses or investigating false injury claims. The crowd is gathered around, staring at something ahead.MALE VOICE IN THE CROWD: Who'd that guyrat out? The focus of the crowd's attention is a young black man, taped to a flagpole. He is naked, although his dignity is preserved by the tape and 'Snich' ispainted in large letters across his chest. We will subsequently learn his name is Wallace.BOY IN THE CROWD: The bikers.GIRL IN CROWD: Why doesn't somebodycut him down?ANOTHER BOY IN THE CROWD: [Sarcastically] Yeah! I'll do it. I wanna be the guy up there tomorrow!No one is helping him and one particularlyobnoxious individual approaches him with a camera, taking a photograph of himself with the humiliated captive.JERK: All right, say cheese. Smile. Veronica isunimpressed with the passivity of the crowd or the jerk and approaches them.VERONICA: [To the jerk] Move.JERK: Who died and made you the quee-Hisposturing is cut off by Veronica's production of a small knife and he leaves as Veronica starts to slice through the tape around the boy's lower body.JERK:[Exiting] You ARE a freak.VERONICA: [To the lad, as she cuts him down] You're new here, huh. Welcome to Neptune High.School bell rings.VERONICA: [In mockenthusiasm to the quickly dispersing crowd] Go Pirates! Overhead shot of event cuts to the front of a class room in session. As the teacher (who in the future wewill learn is Mrs Murphy) walks forward, the students are exposed, including Veronica, whose head is on the desk and who looks to be asleep.MRS MURPHY: Thisis advanced placement. We expect more. It's called 'An Essay on Man' but what Pope's really talking about is faith. Right? Anybody? Did anybody complete thereading? Veronica? Veronica Mars! Veronica's head comes up. She wipes her eye, waking up.VERONICA: Um-humMRS MURPHY: Congratulations, you're myvolunteer. Pope. An Essay on Man. Epistle I.VERONICA: \"Hope springs eternal in the human breast; Man never Is, but always To be blest: The soul, uneasy andconfin'd from home, Rests and expatiates in a life to come.\"MRS MURPHY: And what do you suppose Pope meant by that?VERONICA: Life's a bitch until you die.[The class titters.]MRS MURPHY: OK, thank you Ms Mars for that succinct and somewhat inappropriate response.Veronica returns her head to the desk as theteacher carries on.MRS MURPHY: I think what Pope's saying is that the thing that keeps us powering through life's defeats is our faith in a better life yet tocome.Cut to Veronica coming from around the corner to an empty school hall with successive sets of lockers on the side between classroom doors.VERONICAVOICEOVER: Random locker searches. It's the latest tactic the administration has adopted in their losing war on drugs except the searches aren't really random.In front of Veronica are a tall, besuited man and a deputy who holds the leash of a German Shepherd. We will subsequently learn that the deputy's name isSacks.VERONICA VOICEOVER: I know when they're gonna to happen before Vice Principal Clemmons does.DEPUTY SACKS: Veronica Mars, this should begood.CLEMMONS: Veronica, would you please open your locker.As Veronica is turning the combination of her locker, the dog barks.VERONICA: [To the dog]Buster. The dog gives a little whine and obeys her. The surprised deputy looks down at the dog. Veronica opens her locker. It is completely empty save for apicture on the back of the door. It is a picture of Vice Principal Clemmons framed in a heart.VERONICA: [With feigned embarrassment] Wow. This is a littleembarrassing.Cut to an unappetizing dinner tray of meatloaf, gravy and mixed peas and corn. Veronica stabs at it unenthusiastically as the camera pulls back toreveal her in an outside eating area in the school, sitting alone at one of the tables. People fast motion around her until it rests on a table across from her. Thereare a number of students there, taking delivery of pizzas.VERONICA VOICEOVER: I used to sit there. At that table. It's not like my family met the minimum networth requirement. My dad didn't own his own airline like John Enbom's [paying for the pizzas with a gold card] or serve as ambassador to Belgium like ShelleyPomeroy's but my dad used to be the sheriff and that had a certain cachet. Another boy approaches the pizza table.VERONICA VOICEOVER: Let's be honest,though. The only reason I was allowed past the velvet ropes was Duncan Kane. Son of software billionaire, Jake Kane, he used to be my boyfriend. Flashback to along haired Veronica and Duncan walking down the school hallway. Duncan's arm is around Veronica's shoulders and they kiss as they walk.VERONICAVOICEOVER: Then one day, with no warning, he ended things. Veronica, still with long hair, closes her locker and turns, smiling, to see Duncan walking past,another boy whispering in his ear. Duncan cuts her dead. Cut back to the present as Veronica continues to stare at Duncan. The whispering boy from theflashback is there and notices.VERONICA VOICEOVER: And let's not forget Logan Echolls. His dad makes twenty million a picture. You probably own his actionfigure. Logan sits on Duncan's knee and starts rubbing his chest in a faux-lecherous manner. Duncan pushes him off. Logan laughs, sits down and pointsmockingly at Veronica.VERONICA VOICEOVER: Every school has an obligatory psychotic jackass. He's ours. Veronica is so intent on out-staring Logan that shedoesn't notice that Wallace has joined her table.WALLACE: You okay.VERONICA: What?WALLACE: You look, I don't know, hypnotised.VERONICA: Did I say youcould sit here?Looking fed up, Wallace puts his orange back in his lunch bag and stands, preparing to go.VERONICA: [Relenting] Wait a minute. Of course you cansit here. Sit wherever you want. He sits back down.WALLACE: That-that was cool, what you did, getting me off of that pole.VERONICA: WellFrom behind Veronicacomes a head-shaven, tattooed biker. We will subsequently learn that this is Weevil.WEEVIL: [To Wallace] My bitch. Weren't you supposed to wait for me at theflagpole. I'm not sure I could have made that any clearer. Weevil plonks himself down next to Wallace, deliberately getting in his face. Wallace takes a deepbreath and lets out an uncomfortable laugh.WALLACE: OK, I get it, a'right. Very funny.WEEVIL: Yeah.WALLACE: I guess we're even now. Right?WEEVIL:[Aggressively] You get what boy? You get that you're a dead man walking, is that what you get?VERONICA: Leave him alone.Weevil turns his attention toVeronica and moves to stand over her.WEEVIL: Sister, the only time I care what a woman has to say is-is when she's riding my big old hog but even then it's notso much words just a bunch of oohs and aahs, you know?VERONICA: So it's big, huh?WEEVIL: [Indulgently] Legendary.VERONICA: Well let's see it. I mean if it'sas big as you say, I'll by your girlfriend. We could go to prom together.Her refusal to be intimidated surprises and amuses him and he laughs as he looks aroundat his fellow bikers. One of them we will subsequently learn is called Felix.VERONICA: What? What seems to be the problem. I'm on a schedule here, vato.FELIX:[Not so amused] Dude, Weevil. Don't let blondie talk to you like that!VERONICA: Sounds like your buddy here wants to see it too.FELIX: Ah, hell, I'll show youmine.Felix gets closer to Veronica and makes to drop his pants. He is interrupted by the arrival of the Vice Principal.CLEMMONS: Felix Toombs. What on God'sgreen earth is going on here? All right gentlemen, move it along. Veronica, why does trouble follow you around? Veronica smiles blandly as the bikers and theVice Principal move on, leaving Veronica and Wallace alone again at their table.VERONICA: So what did you do?WALLACE: [Not comprehending]What?VERONICA: Why are you a dead man walking?Cut to a scene in a small convenience store where Wallace sits at checkout, reading a comic. Two bikerscomes in and head to the chilled units at the back.WALLACE: [Offscreen] Oh yeah, I work at Sac-n-Pac. Last night I was working by myself. Couple of those guyscame in. The Latin biker, who we will subsequently learn is named Hector, takes out a large beer bottle and hands it to the other who puts it in his coat as Hectordoes the same with another bottle.HECTOR: Oh man, happy birthday bro.ASIAN BIKER: Oh thanks man.The bikers continue to pocket the beer.WALLACE:[Offscreen] They just walked right to the back of the store and started stuffing all these forties into their pockets. So I hit the silent alarm. Wallace can see thebikers head towards him on the surveillance screen at checkout. Hector picks up a small packet of gum and both head for the checkout. They lean in.HECTOR:[Reading the badge] Wallace. Hector carefully smoothes a dollar bill and slaps it on the counter.WALLACE: [Offscreen] I guess the dude thought a one dollar billwould cover it.HECTOR: Keep the change.They laugh and leave.WALLACE: [Offscreen] That's when the police came. Cut back to Veronica at the table.VERONICA:We don't have the police here. We have a sheriff's department. Cut back to the Sac-n-Pac flashback as the gum-chewing Sheriff walks in.SHERIFF: [Dismissively]You, come on. Wallace follows the Sheriff outside and is taken aback by the presence of a whole gang of bikers, including Weevil and Felix, watching from theirbikes.UNSEEN BIKER: What's up snitch?SHERIFF: Come here. They say they paid.The two bikers who took the beer are handcuffed and in the custody of thedeputy. Hector is grinning. Wallace is intimidated that this is going down in full view of the gang.SHERIFF: Well, did they?WALLACE: Yeah.HECTOR: Like I said.[Laughs]SHERIFF: [To the bikers] Shut up. [To Wallace] But you pressed the alarm anyway.WALLACE: It was an accident.The Sheriff stalks off in disgust,re-enters the store and retrieves the surveillance video. Wallace watches him as he comes back outside.SHERIFF: [To the deputy] Sacks, get 'em outta here. Get'em outta here. We got enough. Sacks grabs the shoplifting bikers and heads for the car. The Sheriff gets up close just behind Wallace's right shoulder and sniffsderisively.SHERIFF: You need to go see the wizard. Ask him for some guts.VERONICA: [Offscreen] \"Go see the wizard\", he said that.The scene returns to thelunch table.WALLACE: Yeah.VERONICA: Congratulations, sport. In your short time here, you've already managed to piss off the motorcycle gang and the localsheriff.Cut to a small L-shaped, two-storey apartment complex around a small pool. Music is playing from one of the apartments. Veronica enters through a smallgate into the pool area. Her reverie is interrupted by a sound of from one of the open windows. It's Peter Yorn's \"Just Another\".SONG: You and I, we're two of akind I hate to say it but you'll never relate What makes you tick? It makes me smile.

A picture of you in your first little league uniform. [wistfully] Don't know why I said \"first.\"Daphne: [taking it] Was that your game face?Niles:Oh, no, no. I'd just lost a tooth to an errant pitch.Martin: Tell her who was pitchin'.Niles: I was.Daphne puts her arm around him to comfort him and kisses hischeek.[SCENE_BREAK]Scene 3 - KACLFade in. Frasier is sitting at his desk, Roz comes in with a bouquet.Frasier: Flowers from your new beau?Roz: Yeah.Shecarries them over to her side.Frasier: Must be nice to be liked.Roz: [coming back] Are you still obsessing over that limerick?Frasier: People are making additions.Good lord, I've read anthologies with fewer contributing authors.Roz: I'm sure they'll all wash right off.Frasier: If only there were a solvent that could remove thestains they've left on my spirit.Roz heads back to her side.Roz: It was a joke. What's the big deal?Frasier: [following] Oh, yes, I know. Being written up on thebathroom wall is no big deal to you. But that limerick made a point, as all good limericks do. It seems to have resonated with everyone around here. I want thesepeople to know the real Frasier Crane.Roz: Wouldn't it be better if you tried to make them like you?Frasier: Yes. And to that end I was thinking along the linesof... oh, say a little party. For the entire staff, at my place. Hey, you could bring Roger!Roz: Thanks. But I think it's a little too soon. I don't want to put anypressure on him.Frasier: Oh, come on, Roz. You're always saying you don't have a date for these things.Roz: There's gonna be a lotta radio talk, and I'm not surehe's gonna be that comfortable with this crowd.Frasier: Who is? Come on, Roz, I'd like to meet him.Roz: I don't know. Maybe next party.Frasier: Does this haveanything to do with his occupation, you know, his being a refuse collector?Roz: No, I am completely comfortable with his job. I just don't want him to feelawkward around other people.Frasier: Okay.Roz: Not that he should. Or would.Frasier: Yes, all right, fine, fine. If you change your mind, he's more thanwelcome. It promises to be a real wing-ding. If being a snob is the reputation I've built around here, then this party will be the wrecking ball of congeniality thattears it down.Roz: Yeah, say stuff like that.Getting her point, he smirks and heads back to his side. FADE OUT. Scene 4 - Roz's Apartment Fade in. Roger comesin the front, carrying Alice and roller blades.[N.B. The first appearance of Ashley Thomas as Alice May Doyle.]Roger: Say \"Come on, Mom.\"Alice: Come on,Mom.Roger: Say \"Don't be a wuss.\"Alice: Don't be a wuss.Roz comes in.Roz: I'm not a wuss. Roger puts Alice down and collapses next to her.Roger: Ohh, I knowyou said you were gonna make dinner, but why not just open a can of something?Roz: How'd you think I was gonna make dinner? Alice, go pick out somePJs.Roger: [pulling a book from his backpack] When you're ready, I've got a special book for you. It's called \"Make Room for Monkeys.\" Now hurry up, get outtahere, go on.Alice hurries off. Roz picks the book up and sits down.Roz: \"Make Room for Monkeys\"? Where did you find this? You know it's out of print.Roger:Yeah, well, a certain very bad skater told me it was her favorite book when she was growing up, so I kept my eyes open and I found it in a pile of old books.Roz:[nervously] You mean like at the dump?Roger: No, not a dump! Please, it's a secret underground landfill accessible only to garbage men. And the Mole Peoplewho live there. I used to be one of them, but then I decided to join the surface dwellers and find my queen.Roz kisses him and leans against him.Roz: Thank you.That's very thoughtful.Roger: And you will make an excellent Mole Queen. Of course, after a year underground, your eyes will fuse shut. Your sense of smell willstick around...Roz: Okay, stop, stop, stop. Do you joke around about your career because you're uncomfortable talking about it?Roger: You mean deeply andutterly ashamed?Roz: Whatever, your words.Roger: I don't know, I've never really thought about it as a career. I mean, it's just a job to me. You know, it's gotgreat benefits, and afternoons off and... when I have a family, I'll get to spend a lot of time with them. How sweet will that be?Roz: Would you like to go to aparty with me on Saturday?Roger: I'd love to. I found a great pair of shoes this morning. They damn near match.She slaps him playfully and leans back againsthim. FADE OUT. Scene 5 - Frasier's ApartmentFade in.

My dear doctor, I really thought that no man could find his way into my affections. But you have surprised me in so many ways. Inreturn, you have had a small taste of the ecstasy and insight that awaits you down the crooked way. I warn you... It leads far from the comfortable main roads ofcivilization.Wainwright: Well, then let me begin my journey at once.Mary: Patience. Before you can continue your journey, you must go before the dark powersand strike your own bargain. At the witching hour, at midnight... Your journey begins then. In the meantime, you must make yourself useful.Wainwright:Anything. I am your humble servant.Mary: Destroy all your work... Everything you have written or gathered on the plague. All of it must be burned.Wainwright: [Chuckles ] A scientist's notes are his life blood and the building blocks of all of his work.Mary: I told you last night... We are at war.

If Cotton Mather were to find it...Wainwright: You ask too much of me.Mary: But in return, you shall have so muchmore.Wainwright: [ Sighs ] It's true. Mather did all but promise to lead a crusade against the witches of Salem, and they would treat you far worse than theInquisition treated Galileo. They would burn you like Bruno.Mary: Well, then unless you wish to see me martyred for our science, there can be nothing that leadsback to me.Wainwright: It is not my papers that will lead him back to you but what we saw in the crags.Mary: Leave the crags to me.Wainwright: [ Sighs heavily][ Indistinct conversations ]Tituba: Shall I bring the young master his breakfast?Mary: No. No, I have another task for you.Tituba: Increase Mather!Mary: Theone and only.

Of everything. Surely you knew that no great working can take place without a sacrifice.Mary: No.Countess Marburg: For this, the greatest ofall workings, only the greatest of all sacrifices will do. Your son was born precisely that he should be the vessel for the dark lord's return.Mary: You are lying. Itcannot be.Countess Marburg: I know this must seem... a terrible betrayal. Do you not think that the other Mary felt betrayal when she realized what Godintended for the son he gave her? The Angel of the annunciation failed to mention that she would end up weeping at the foot of the cross beneath her slaughteredson. Now, like that other Mary, you must look beyond the deceit and embrace the glorious gift. And what an honor to sacrifice one's own to such a cause. It's asacrifice I sought to make many years ago with my own son, Sebastian. I would have given anything for that honor, for him as well as for me.

Join us at the crags tomorrow and baptize him, allow our little prince to fulfill his destiny... Or I will bathe in his young blood as Ihave so many others.Mary: Kill him and the Grand Rite is over.Countess Marburg: For a time, yes. C'est la vie. But I am everlasting, unlike you, and when thestarry messenger returns, it will be I who completes the Grand Rite.Mary: So either way, if I do as you say, my boy dies.Countess Marburg: He was only born tobe a vessel.

I needyou to relay our treacherous situation to the magistrate.Wainwright: Well, in fact, I have some surprisingly good news. Today marks the first 24-hour period sinceI arrived in Salem without a single new infection. I do believe the worst may be past and this pox may finally be dying down.Hathorne: [ Clears throat ]Cotton:I've, um, spoken to him of the horrors we witnessed yesterday.Wainwright: Yes, well, [Chuckles] It's not often that I allow a novice to join my research, butMather insisted on accompanying me to investigate the victims burry hell grounds.Wainwright: [ Sighs ] Little of any help. I had hoped to locate something tobetter fight off this parasitical pox.Cotton: Tell him about the black pitch.Wainwright: Black pitch?Cotton: What we both saw at the crags... Bodies disintegratinginto an ungodly black pitch. A most unnatural substance you said you'd never eyed before. For god's sake, man, it set a branch on fire.Inwright: My dear Mather,we'd both had a fair bit to drink the night before, and in the light of day, I can't really say what I saw.Cotton: You saw what I saw, and now I need you to tell themagistrate about it.Wainwright: Be reasonable, friend. We saw nothing that can't be explained by the condition of those who saw it. Gentlemen, this pox maynearly be over, but I still have much work to do.Hathorne: What say you about this discrepancy, Mather?Cotton: He's lying! For all we know, he is under somewitch's control!Wainwright: Mather, I like you, truly, but you go too far, and I've had enough. You have the word of a royally certified physician or a failed divineknown for his drunken rages who attacked even you, so believe who you will.Cotton: Or believe your own eyes. As magistrate, you owe it to the people of Salemto investigate yourself. Come with me to the crags and then decide who speaks the truth. You want to save this town. You want to be Salem's leader. All I ask isthat you see for yourself.Wainwright: I won't have any more of this nonsense.Hathorne: N-no, doctor. We shall go, all three of us.Wainwright: With all duerespect, Magistrate...Hathorne: As magistrate, it is not your respect I require but your obedience.Wainwright: As you will. The Angels of Revelation said: \"Come.See. Hell is here.\"Wainwright: Birds often die in a flock. It's grotesque, yes, but hardly unnatural.Cotton: God in Heaven...Wainwright: Just as I said.Hathorne:Where is your devilish black pitch?Cotton: It's the witches' doing. They've made it disappear.Hathorne: Or perhaps your gin consumption has finally caught upwith you.Wainwright: In all fairness, my dear friend has suffered much lately... The loss of a father, banishment. And the strains of life can sometimes make themind play vicious tricks.Cotton: It is not my mind playing vicious tricks but your lying mouth.Wainwright: My dear Mather, you said not two nights ago you'd seenyour dead father. You must recognize that that hallucination was brought on by your own distressed soul. And I believe this was just more of the same.Cotton:Who got to you? What did they offer you?!Hathorne: Take him away.Cotton: You've sold your soul! You will go to hell. Let go of me! [ Grunting, breathing heavily] You will burn in hell, Wainwright!

After all, you do work three hours a day.Frasier stands up, annoyed, turnshis back on her, and begins to sort through his brochures on the side bench of the studio.Roz: I'm sorry. That one even surprised me!She walks into the adjoiningproducer's suite. Frasier follows her through.Frasier: You know, it's just that when I think of the relationship I have with my dad I can't help but envy therelationship you have with your mother.Roz: Well, it didn't just happen. We work at it, spend time together...Frasier: Roz, are you forgetting that my father liveswith me? How much more time together could we spend!Roz: Day to day living is different. You know, there is nothing better than taking a trip together. You getto have a little fun, you get to relax... you get to see a whole different side to the other person.Frasier: You know, in his entire life, my dad has never been toEurope. It would be a way of connecting with him if I were the one to give him that.

Niles is sittingwith his face down on the table as Daphne massages his back. Martin is sitting in his chair with the paper in one hand, and is stroking Eddie with the other.Niles:[moaning with pleasure:] Ahh... I should have known this would happen. I always throw out my back when I try to lift Maris's luggage.Daphne: Why didn't youhire a skycap?Niles: Oh, we did for most of it, but Maris won't trust strangers with her makeup case, ever since a ham-handed porter dropped it and broke threevials of rare Swiss lamb placenta. On the upside, the calfskin lining of her case was never more soft and supple.Daphne lifts him to sit up straight, puts her armaround his neck and proceeds to massage his back with the fist of her right hand.Daphne: Where did Mrs. Crane go, anyway?Niles gives more moans of pleasure,and Martin looks round at him in amusement.Niles: She's making her annual pilgrimage to the holy land.Martin: I thought she was going to Dallas to visit hersister.Niles: That is her holy land. It's the site of the first Nieman- Marcus.Martin turns back to his paper, shaking his head. Niles produces more moans ofecstasy. Frasier enters the apartment, carrying his briefcase.Daphne: Oh, Dr. Crane...Niles: [still moaning] Oh, call me Niles!Frasier casts his usual look ofdisapproval and disappointment in Niles's direction, and Niles, noticing him, stands up.Niles: Thank you, Daphne.Frasier: Dad, I've had an idea and I hope you'reas excited about it as I am. [opens his briefcase and takes out the holiday brochures] I want to take you on vacation!Martin: [suspicious] Why?Frasier: Well, Ithought an adventure might do us good, give us a chance to have some fun, maybe get reacquainted, even do a little bonding.Martin: What'd you have inmind?Frasier: Well, this isn't about where I want to go, this is about where you want to go.Frasier fans out the leaflets and lays them on the table by his father inan extravagant gesture.Frasier: Dad, I give you the world!Martin: [reading one] The Galy-pay-gos islands, huh? \"Where iguanas, sea-lions and giant tortoises livein eternal harmony.\" [to Frasier] Is it important they get along?Frasier: No, I suppose not.Niles has also been looking through the leaflets.Niles: Oh, how aboutthis! India and Nepal! Trek the foothills of the Himalayas!Martin: [tapping his cane] I think you're forgetting about my old pal here.Niles: No problem. Frasier canjust hire a really tough little Sherpa to carry you on his back.Martin looks at him stupidly.Niles: They don't mind.Frasier: Well, we obviously haven't struck theright chord yet, but we will, we will. Dad, why don't you just suggest something?Martin: You really want to go on a trip with me?Frasier: Yes I do! I'll go anywhereyou want to! Anywhere!Martin: Okay. Well, maybe I'm not as sophisticated as you, but I think I should see America first!Frasier: Great! We're Americans, weshould see America!Martin: And I want to see it in a Winnebago!Frasier stands up in horror, but with feigned enthusiasm.Frasier: A Winnebago! Hot damn, thathas a real ring to it! He crosses to pour a drink.Martin: Yeah! It's something your mother and I always dreamed about doing when I retired.Frasier: Then that isexactly the trip we are going to take!Martin: You really mean it?Frasier: Absolutely!Daphne: This calls for a celebration!Daphne exits to kitchen, Frasier crosses tofire place and Martin also exits towards the kitchen.Martin: Yeah, let's pop open a couple of beers! I think I've got a bag of pork rinds in here too!Frasier: Oh, thefinal touch! I almost feel like I'm in a trailer park already!He hangs his head in horror, leaning on the mantelpiece in despair. Niles crosses the room towardshim.Niles: [mockingly] Oh, Winnebago Boy? Make sure to hang a lot of beach chairs on the back and give it a really cute name like... \"The Whoopin' Cranes!\"Hedissolves into laughter.Frasier: Oh, Niles. When I agreed to see America with Dad I thought we'd be staying in five-star resorts! When I said together I meantadjoining suites!Niles: Just tell him you think it's a bad idea.Frasier: I can't do that, he's counting on this trip too much. It was his dream, he was going to go onthis trip with Mom.Niles: Yeah, but she lucked out and died! [laughs]Frasier pulls Niles to the corner of the apartment to be sure they can't be heard from thekitchen.Frasier: [in desperation] Niles listen, listen. If Dad and I get into a Winnebago together only one of us will come out alive. You've got to come withus!Niles: Frasier, you're my brother. That entitles you to my bone marrow and one of my kidneys, but THIS is an imposition!Cut to Martin and Daphne in thekitchen. Daphne is chopping cheese, and Martin sits opposite her.Martin: You've got to come with us!Daphne: Why?Martin: Well, Frasier and I don't haveanything to talk about! I always feel more comfortable when there's someone else around, or the TV's blaring.Daphne: Then why did you suggest it?Martin: Well,it sounded like a good idea when it came out of my mouth, but the more I think about it... I mean, can you really see me and Frasier together all day and thencrawling into our bunks at Night, lying head to head... bonding? [shivers] Eew! I'll pay you! I've got pension money!Cut back to Niles and Frasier.Frasier: Iremember a car trip we took when I was nine? We drove from Seattle to Spokane. The only thing he said to me was, \"I think we've got a problem with yourbrother Frasier.\"Niles: Those were awful, those family driving vacations. Dad insisting on covering as many miles as possible in a day. The two of us tiny hostagesin the back seat, clutching our car sickness bags... straining to see something out of the window as the landscape whizzed by... I was thirteen before I realizedcows aren't blurry!Cut to Martin and Daphne.Daphne: Why don't you just tell him you don't want to go?Martin: Oh, you heard how he wants to go. I don't want todisappoint him!Cut to Niles and Frasier.Frasier: I don't want to disappoint him!!Niles: I'm sorry Frasier, I am not a Winnebago person.He begins to cross to refillhis drink.Niles: Whenever I see one on the highway I look into the driver's eyes, hoping to see something that would explain why in God's name he would everwant to do something like this! All I see is a death stare under the brim of a hat made out of Miller Lite cans. This is my final word: I'm-not-going.Martin andDaphne re-enter. Daphne is carrying some cheese chunks on a plate.Martin: Hey, great news, Daphne's coming too!Niles: And so am I!He eats a cheesechunk.[SCENE_BREAK]THE WHOOPIN' CRANESScene Three - A Winnebago. The Crane clan, plus Daphne, are traveling along in their rented Winnebago. Thenorth-western American countryside is visible out of the rear window. Frasier is driving, and Martin is in the passenger seat videotaping the view. Daphne issitting behind them. Niles appears to be absent from the scene.Martin: It's everything I'd hoped it'd be, only better! It's like sitting in your own living roomwatching TV! Only it isn't TV, it's America!Frasier: Yes Dad, it's the ultimate in virtual reality programming - actual reality.Martin: [Looking at map] Okay, we'vegot a turn-off coming up in about five miles, so start slowing down.Frasier: Righto, Dad.Daphne: How does it feel behind that wheel, Dr. Crane?Frasier: Manly!This is mine, and it's big!There is a flushing sound, and Niles appears from the back of the vehicle.Niles: Oh my God! It's like being sealed upright in a Formicacoffin!Martin: Remember the old days, Niles? [to Daphne] When they were kids, all they had in the back seat was a mayonnaise jar.Frasier: Yes, it took quite a bitof skill to use it successfully at seventy miles per hour! Never really been fond of mayonnaise since...Niles: Or speed bumps.Martin: Okay, turnoff's coming upnow, we're about four miles away, get ready, it's coming up! Alright, you're okay on the right! It's never to early to move over!Frasier: You know, Dad, I waswondering. What inspired you to choose that uniquely American man-made wonder, Mount Rushmore?Martin: Well, we've got a week off, right? That's as far aswe can go in three and a half days and still make it back. We get there, get out, walk around the Valley of the Presidents, drive back, boom! Another finelandmark under our belts!Daphne: Well, you've certainly got this trip well-planned, Mr. Crane! Whenever I take a holiday I just grab a fresh pair of knickers andsee where the wind takes me!At this comment Niles proceeds to look back at Daphne's backside.Frasier: [noticing] Niles... Niles!Frasier then pulls hard right onthe steering wheel making the vehicle swerve sharply left. Everyone else remains in the same place but Niles, caught off balance, crashes left into some overheadcupboards, right into a chair behind Daphne and then falls spectacularly onto the floor whilst clutching at the kitchen sideboard. He quickly attempts to retake hisplace behind Frasier, before Daphne and Martin notice.Unsuccessfully. Martin looks strangely at Niles, not realising why Frasier swerved, then looks curiously atFrasier as if to say, \"What the hell was that!\" Frasier, however, drives on happily with a large smile on his face.Frasier: You know, what Daphne is saying is whatwe should really be doing!Martin: What are you talking about?Frasier: Well, you know, why should we be so beholden to maps and schedules?

Alarms gone off before but the smoke was always gray.JANITOR#2: One time a possum got caught in the shaft, smoke came out like this.JANITOR #1: Dr. Addy was conducting an experiment on a pig yesterday. I told all themeggheads not to toss dead animals down the incinerator shaft.JANITOR #2: (They stop in front of the incinerator door) Since when do they listen to us. (Opensthe incinerator door)JANITOR #1: Holy crap! (Covers his mouth, coughing)JANITOR #2: (Looking inside) Definitely not pork!(Camera pans into the incinerator. Aburnt body lies inside above the flames. Cut to later, fire is out and Brennan and Cam are looking inside.)BRENNAN: At four hundred degrees, bone chars in sixhours and turns to ash in eight.CAM: Charring, no ash. Six to eight hours? Dumped into the incinerator between one and three a.m. (Booth enters behind Camand Brennan, who do not notice )BOOTH: Ugh. Alive or dead before he or she went into the incinerator?CAM: Can't tell yet.BRENNAN; (Turning to Booth andnotice a file in his hand) What's that?BOOTH: Guest log. ((Looking at the file) No visitors checked out after nine thirty-six last night, and no one checked in beforeeight o' two this morning.CAM: Meaning the victim probably works here.BRENNAN: Meaning the killer does too.(Interior - Day - Autopsy room at the Jeffersonian.Brennan is looking at the computer screen while Cam examines the remains.)BRENNAN: Pubic bone is female.CAM: There's no carbon in the trachea. (Pulls outthe trachea and unrolls it like a fruit rollup) She was dead before she was thrown down the chute.BRENNAN: Extensive fissures, fractures and breaks to the entireskeleton. I'll have Zack determine which were caused by heat and which by trauma. (Angela enters)ANGELA: Heads up, they called Bancroft in from a hearing onthe hill.BRENNAN: Who's Bancroft again?CAM: God.ANGELA: The supreme honcho of the Jeffersonian.BRENNAN: I think I met him once.ANGELA: Okay, I amready to start the facial reconstruction. (Brennan removes the skull from the rest of the remains and places it on a surgical tray)BRENNAN: I haven't put on tissuedepth markers yet.CAM: I haven't finished removing all the carbonized brain matter. (Angela comes to a halt in front of the skull, and stares at it intensly,horrified)BRENNAN: Once you've done that, Zack can clean the skull. (As Angela stares at the skull it changes from burnt to a whole, healthy female face.)Angela? Angela? Angela?ANGELA: Yeah?CAM: Are you alright?BRENNAN: What's wrong?ANGELA: (Looking anxiously at the skull) Um . . . Uh . . I'm fine. I'll startafter the tissue markers are . . . Let me know. (Angela exits.)CAM: What the hell was that about?ACT I(Interior - Day - Angela's office at the Jeffersonian. Angelais looking at an image of the skull on her computer. Brennan enters.)ANGELA: You won't like it.BRENNAN: Like what?ANGELA: I've ID'd the victim.BRENNAN:That's impossible.ANGELA: I told you you wouldn't like it.BRENNAN: There are no tissue markers, you can't just look at a skull and see the person.ANGELA:Sweetie, I've done hundreds of these reconstructions: the depressed labella, the narrow nasal aperture, the chipped lateral incisor.BRENNAN: You can see a facefrom that?ANGELA: The chipped tooth was from a skiing accident when she was sixteen.BRENNAN: Ange. You know the victim personally?ANGELA: (sighing andpulling up an image of an young, attractive blonde on the computer) Kristen Reardon. She's an intern, we had coffee a couple of times. (Walking over to thecouch) She didn't want to be a scientist. She wanted to go into design. She was jut here to make her father happy. She was young and eager and keen and . . .she was just really, really young.BRENNAN: Wait, Reardon. (Walking to Angela) As in Dr. Ted Reardon?ANGELA: Yeah, he used to work here. (Sitting down on thecouch)BRENNAN: I took a course from him in ancient pharmacology. (Sitting in the chair across from Angela)ANGELA: Look, I know that we can't say anythinguntil you do the tissue markers and we go through channels, but, I'm telling you, I know this is Kristen.BRENNAN: Poor Ted.ANGELA: You wanna know somethingelse? She was seeing somebody who worked here.BRENNAN: Is that relevant?ANGELA: Well, Booth will think so. Especially since it was a married man.BRENNAN:Well, did she tell you?ANGELA: No, just that they had had their first kiss at the opening of that Egyptian exhibit and that it had been hot and heavy eversince.BRENNAN: I'm sorry, Ange.ANGELA: No, I'm-I'm sorry. I'm just really freaked out by this one.BRENNAN: Because you know the victim.ANGELA: Well, andthe killer! I mean, look around! Do you like thinking that somebody we see every day could've thrown Kristen down the incinerator?(Interior - Day - Platformabove the Main Examination area at the Jeffersonian. Bancroft and Booth are standing across from each other, Booth leaning against the table.)BANCROFT: Howcan I aid your investigation?BOOTH: Well, Dr. Bancroft, I'd like print outs from the Jeffersonian's security detailing who was and was not in the buildingBANCROFT: Done.BOOTH: I'd also appreciate it if you'd tell your people to cooperate with the FBI. (Bancroft moves toward Booth)BANCROFT: Yes, of course,Agent Booth. I don't know if you've had much cause to work with scientists; difficult people, by nature, combative, skeptical, resistant.BOOTH: I'venoticed.BANCROFT: Have you identified the victim yet?BOOTH: Unofficially? (Bancroft nods) An intern by the name of Kristen Reardon.BANCROFT: No relation toTed Reardon?BOOTH: His daughter. Dr. Reardon left the Jeffersonian for George Town University?BANCROFT: In the interest of full disclosure I was instrumentalin that move.BOOTH: You fired him.BANCROFT: I facilitated a necessary change.BOOTH: Necessary change.BANCROFT: Excellent scientist, poor administrator.Does Reardon know about his daughter?BOOTH: Dr. Brennan is informing him now.BANCROFT: I'd like to be kept in the loop on this, within the constraints of thelaw of course. (Raises his hand for Booth to shake it.)BOOTH: (chuckling, and shaking hands) Sure.(Interior - Day - Main examination area of the Jeffersonian.Cam and Booth are watching through the window as Brennan tells Reardon about his daughter.)CAM: Ted Reardon? Victims's father?BOOTH: Yep, Bones is tellinghim his daughter's dead.CAM: Rumor has it, Bancroft banished Reardon from the Jeffersonian because he felt threatened, politically.BOOTH: I know. Let's leaveBones to it. (They walk away)CAM: Would it be insensitive to mention that my father's sixtieth birthday is coming up?BOOTH: Sixty already? Wow!CAM: Uh-huh.We're having a big birthday dinner for him on Thursday night.BOOTH: Alright, you give him my best!CAM: You do it yourself. You have to come with me!BOOTH:What? No! Not your family.CAM: I can't spend the night defending the fact that I still live alone to my family.BOOTH: You never told them we broke up?CAM: Youwanna' make a man miserable on his sixtieth birthday.BOOTH: You want me to pretend that I'm your boyfriend?CAM: Yes, between six-thirty and ten onThursday.BOOTH: (Groaning) Camille, you're an adult. You can't live your life afraid of what your family thinks!CAM: Seeley, it's not going to be like this forever.One day he'll die! (Cam exits)(Interior - Day - Bone storage room.

I mean, I've been there when you did it, but, to actually . . . it's extremelyunpleasant.BOOTH: Yeah. (Moving from the doorway into the room) Listen, did you get a change to, uh, ask him about his daughter's love life?BRENNAN: Yes, hesaid as far as he knew she wasn't seeing anyone.BOOTH: Kristen was lying to her father.KLIMKEW: (A slight man with glasses, Dr. Klimkew, enters) Dr. Brennan,is it true? Kristin Reardon is dead?BRENNAN: Evan, special agent Booth. He's in charge of the murder investigation. (To Booth) Dr. Evan Klimkew, KristenReardon's supervisor.KLIMKEW: Murder? Kristen was murdered?BOOTH: What does Kristen Reardon do?KLIMKEW: Authentications. Other museums and high endcollectors use us to authenticate their acquisitions.BOOTH: That a big department?KLIMKEW: Three to five interns, all doctoral candidates, my assistant andmyself. That's it.BOOTH: It's a competitive environment, right?KLIMKEW: Of course. You put a bunch of neurotic, Type-A overachievers together and you danglea prize over their head.BRENNAN: Dr. Klimkew is referring to the Bates fellowship.KLIMKEW: The top intern receives seventy-five thousand dollars and a gold staron their resume. Kristen was the frontrunner.BRENNAN: I had heard that her heart wasn't in it.KLIMKEW: Didn't show in her work. God, this is terrible. Does herfather know?BOOTH: Who was the main rival for the Bates money?KLIMKEW: Uh, that would be Neil Tyler.BOOTH: Neil Tyler. Where can I find him?KLIMKEW:We're authenticating the artifacts in you're serial killer vault.BOOTH: So, what does your wife think of these, uh, (pointing at Klimkew's wedding ring) you know,these late hours?KLIMKEW: (Puts his hands in his pockets) I'm separated. That's your answer.BOOTH: Seeing anyone now?KLIMKEW: Are you serious?BRENNAN:It's a murder investigation Evan.KLIMKEW: No, I'm not seeing anyone.BOOTH: Thank you, Dr. Klimkew.(Interior - Day - Serial killer vault (\"Gormogon\") at theJeffersonian. Neil Tyler, young, African-American, is bent over an artifact with a magnifying glass. Booth and Brennan are standing and watching)TYLER: Thespinner appears to be Masonic in origin: bloodstone, gold. What's interesting is, in the center, instead of the traditional \"G\" for God, there's a skull.BRENNAN:Gormogon iconography.TYLER: Strange, huh?BOOTH: Gormogon? Okay, what's that?BRENNAN: It's an eighteenth century . . .TYLER: It's an extinct group(standing) dedicated to eradicating the influence of the Free Masons and Illuminati in Europe in the eighteenth century. That could be the largest collection ofGormogon artifacts in the world.BOOTH: That's great. You and Kristen Reardon were here last night?TYLER: That's right. Kristen worked there. (Pointing toKristen's desk) I signed out around midnight. Kristen stayed longer, like always.BOOTH: Okay, a little resentful, there?TYLER: I worked my way though statecollege. I've got a second job, which is why I had to leave early. Kristen went to an Ivy League School and her dad's got connections. Who do you think neededthat Bates fellowship more?BOOTH: Well, the way I hear it, you're next in line for a big payday, pal.TYLER: I liked Kristen and she liked me. Check the logs, Iwasn't here. (Brennan moves to examine Kristen's desk)BRENNAN: Do you know who Kristen was seeing?TYLER: You mean like romantically? No. Only that it wasan older guy and she said I was gonna' be really surprised when I find out who it was.BOOTH: How about you? You married?TYLER: (Chuckles) I'm gay, Agent"}

Thecemetery. Buffy is sitting on top of the gravestone of Stephan Korshak playing with her yo-yo.Buffy: C'mon, Stephan, rise and shine. Some of us have a ton oftrig homework waiting. The camera cuts to her right and approaches her from behind.Angel: Hey. Buffy inhales a quick startled breath and turns around to faceher stalker.Angel: Is this a bad time?Buffy: Are you crazy? You don't just sneak up on people in a graveyard. You make noise when you walk. You stomp or...yodel.Angel: I heard you were on the hunt.Buffy: I'm supposed to be, but... lazy bones here doesn't wanna come out and play.Angel: When you first wake up it'sa little disorienting. He'll show.Buffy: It's weird to think of you going through that.Angel: It's weird to go through. So, uh, you're here alone?Buffy: Yeah!Why?Angel: I just thought you'd have somebody with you. Xander or someone.Buffy: Xander.Angel: Or someone.Buffy: Nope. (hops down off the gravestone)Why? Are you jealous?Angel: (chuckles) Of Xander? Please. He's just a kid.Buffy: Is it 'cause I danced with him?Angel: 'Danced with' is a pretty loose term.'Mated with' might be a little closer.Buffy: Don't you think you're being a little unfair? It was one little dance, which I only did to make you crazy, by the way.Behold my success.Angel: I am *not* jealous.Buffy: You're not jealous? What, vampires don't get jealous? Stephan has come out of the ground, and looks atthem from behind his gravestone.Angel: See? Whenever we fight you always bring up the vampire thing.Buffy: Well, I didn't come here to fight. The vampirelunges at her and knocks her into Angel. They fall to the ground, but Buffy quickly gets up.Buffy: Oh, right, I did. Stephan throws a few punches which Buffyeasily blocks. She punches him in the face several times and kicks him in the jaw, sending him stumbling into a large adjacent gravestone. She looks aroundfrantically.Buffy: Where's my stake? I-I know I had a stake!Angel: I didn't see a stake! The vampire grabs a shovel that was lying by the other gravestone andcomes at them again. Angel attacks, but Stephan brings the shovel up and hits him in the side of the face, knocking him onto his back. He leaves Angel lyingthere and steps toward Buffy. She meets him and jumps over the shovel when Stephan swings it at her legs. He swings it at her again, but she catches it, hitshim again and breaks the handle. She spins around with her half and jams the broken handle into his chest. He falls over backward and bursts into ashes as hehits the ground. Angel gets up holding the side of his head.Buffy: (out of breath) What do you mean he's just a kid? Does that mean I'm just a kid, too?Angel:Look, obviously I made a mistake coming here tonight. (turns and leaves)Buffy: Oh, no you don't. You can't just turn and walk away from me like that. (startsfollowing him determinedly) It takes more than that to get rid of me. She falls into an open grave with an open and empty coffin at the bottom.Buffy: Oof! Uhhh...Angel comes over and bends down to look.Angel: You okay?Buffy: I'm fine. (sits up and exhales) Gee, I wish people wouldn't leave open graves laying around likethis. (stands up slowly)Angel: So. Another vampire has risen tonight. She pokes her head out of the grave and looks across the grass.Buffy: I don't think so. Lookat those tracks. Whoever was buried here didn't rise from this grave. She climbs out of the grave and finds a girl's shoe.Buffy: She was dragged from it. Openingcredits roll. Buffy's theme plays. ~~~~~~~~~~ Part 1 ~~~~~~~~~~ Sunnydale High School. Cut to the library. Buffy and Xander walk in and see Giles sittingin a chair and talking to another empty chair across from him.Giles: (clears his throat) W-w-w-what I'm proposing is, um... and I-I don't mean to appearindecorous, is, is, um, a, a-a-a social engagement, um, a, a, a, a-a date, if you're amenable. Buffy and Xander stop and listen to him. Giles is displeased withhimself.Giles: You idiot!Buffy: Boy... Giles is startled and quickly gets up and faces them.Buffy: I guess we never realized how much you like that chair.Giles: I-I-Iwas just working on... (knocks over a few books)Buffy: Your pickup lines?Giles: (bends down) Um, in a manner of speaking, yes. (picks up the books)Buffy: Thenif you wouldn't mind a little Gene and Roger, you might wanna leave off the 'idiot' part. Being called an idiot tends to take people out of the dating mood.Xander:Hmm, it actually kinda turns me on. (looks at Buffy)Buffy: (to Xander) I fear you. (goes to the table) You also might wanna avoid words like 'amenable' and'indecorous', y'know. Speak English, not whatever they speak in, um...Giles: England?Buffy: Yeah. You just say, 'Hey, I got a thing, you maybe have a thing,maybe we could have a thing.'Giles: (sarcastically) Oh, thank you, Cyrano.Buffy: I'm not finished. Then you say, 'How do you feel about Mexican?'Giles: AboutMexicans?Buffy: Mexican. Food. You take her for food, for which you then pay.(sits at the table)Giles: Oh. Right.Xander: So this chair-woman. We are talking Ms.Calendar, right?Giles: W-what makes you think that?Xander: (sits) Simple deduction. Ms. Calendar is reasonably dollsome, especially for someone in your agebracket. She already knows that you're a school librarian, so you don't have to worry about how to break that embarrassing news to her.Buffy: And she's the onlywoman we've actually ever seen speak to you.Add it all up and it all spells 'duh'.Xander: Now, is it time to have a talk about the facts of life?Giles: You know, I'msuddenly deciding this is none of your business.(starts up the stairs)Xander: Y'know, because that whole stork thing is a smoke screen.Giles stops and looks backat him. Buffy laughs to herself.Giles: So, um, how did things go last night? Did Mr. Korshak show up on schedule?Buffy: More or less. Angel and I took care ofhim.Xander: Angel.Buffy: (gives Xander a look) There's something else, though. We found an empty grave.Giles: Another vampire?Buffy: No. No, this one wasdug up and the body was taken out.Giles: Grave robbing? That's new. Interesting. (comes back down to the table)Buffy: I *know* you meant to say gross anddisturbing.Giles: Yes, yes, yes of course. Uh, terrible thing. Must, must put a stop to it. Damn it.Xander: So. Why does someone want to dig up graves?Giles:Well, I'll, uh, collect some theories. Uh, it would help if we knew who the body belonged to.Buffy: Meredith Todd. Ring a bell?Xander: No.Buffy: She died recently.She was our age.Xander: Drawin' a blank.Giles: Why don't we ask Willow to, uh, fire (indicates the PC) this thing up and, uh, track Meredith down?Cut to thehalls. Sign-ups for the science fair are going on. Willow is writing in her entry. Eric comes up to her with a camera and points it at her.Eric: Smile! (takes herpicture)Willow: Hey! He turns around and sees another girl.Eric: Oh, look at those legs! (goes to take her picture)Willow: No, thank you. Chris comes up behindWillow.Chris: Eric, will you knock it off? Eric looks at him, upset to have his fun spoiled.Willow: (smiles) Hey, Chris!Chris: Hey. He picks up a sign-up sheet. Shewatches what he's writing. He looks up at her.Willow: Oh, I, I was just wondering what you were gonna do this year.Chris: Why?Willow: 'Cause every year youwin and I place second, so I just thought I'd see what I'm up against.Chris: You know what the key is? If Dr. Clark doesn't understand your experiment he givesyou higher marks so it looks like he understands your experiment. (reads Willow's entry) 'The Effects of Sub-Violet Light Spectrum Deprivation on theDevelopment of Fruit Flies'? (smirks) That should do the trick.Cordelia: (shows up and signs up) Okay, I'm doing this under protest. It is not fair that they'remaking participation in this year's science fair mandatory. I don't think anyone should have to do anything educational in school if they don't want to.Willow:(reads) 'The Tomato: Fruit or Vegetable'?Cordelia: I wanted to do something I could finish in a weekend, alright? Eric flashes a picture of Cordelia.Cordelia: Stopit! What are you doing? (Eric takes another picture) We are under florescent light, for God's sake.Eric: The camera loves you!Cordelia: I didn't think yearbooknerds came out of hibernation till spring.Eric: (snaps another picture) It's for my private collection. (winks)Chris: Eric! Will you quit it?Buffy: Comin' through.Sorry. (Eric takes her picture) Uh, sorry to interrupt, Willow, but it's the Bat Signal.Willow: Okay, sure. See you later, Chris. Thanks for the tip.Chris: Okay.Cordelia watches them go. Eric raises his eyebrows at her.Cordelia: (disgusted) Uhhh! (leaves)Eric: Cordelia's so fine. Y'know, she'd be just perfect for us.Chris:Don't be an idiot. She's alive.Cut to the library. Willow sits down in front of the PC.Willow: This shouldn't take long. I'm probably the only girl in school who hasthe coroner's office bookmarked as a favorite place.Cordelia: (coming in) Hi. Sorry to interrupt your little undead playgroup, but I need to ask Willow if she'll helpme with my science fair project.Willow: It's a fruit.Cordelia: I would've asked Chris to help me, but then that would've brought back too many memories ofDaryl.Willow: I found it! Meredith Todd died in a car accident last week.Cordelia: Of course I have learned to deal with my pain.Buffy: How was her neck?Willow:Fine, except for being broken. Giles comes out of his office.Cordelia: Hello! Can we deal with my pain, please?Giles: There, there. He pats her on the shoulder andcontinues up into the stacks.Willow: It says that Meredith and two other girls in the car were killed instantly. They were all on the Fondren High Pep Squad, on theway to a game.Buffy: You know what this means.Xander: That Fondren might actually beat Sunnydale in the cross-town body count competition this year?Buffy:She wasn't killed by vampires. Somebody did dig up her corpse.Cordelia: Eww! Why is it that every conversation you people have has the word 'corpse' init?Xander: Okay, so we got a body snatcher. What does that mean?Giles: Uh, h-here's what I've come up with. Demons who eat the flesh of the dead to absorbtheir souls. Or, i-i-it could obviously be a, a voodoo practitioner.Willow: You mean making a zombie?Giles: Uh, zombies, more likely. For most traditionalpurposes a voodoo priest would require more than one.Buffy: So, we should see if the other girls from the accident are AWOL, too. Maybe we can figure out whatthis creep has in mind if we know whether or not he's dealing in volume.Xander: So, we dig up some graves tonight?Willow: Oh, boy! A field trip! Are you gonnacall Angel?Buffy: I don't think so.Xander: Yeah, why bother him, huh?Buffy: Angel and I have been, um... Never mind. As far as Angel's concerned, I'm taking thenight off, okay?Xander: So, we're set then. Say, nineish? BYO shovel?Willow: And I'll pack some food. Who else likes those little powdered doughnuts?Xander:Me.Willow: Cordelia?Cordelia: Darn, I have cheerleader practice tonight. Boy, I wish I knew we were gonna be digging up dead people sooner. I would'vecanceled.Xander: Alright, but if you come across the army of zombies, can you page us before they eat your flesh? Cordelia huffs and leaves the library.Giles:Xander?Xander: Huh?Giles: Zombies don't eat the flesh of the living.Xander: Yeah, I knew that. But did you see the look on her face?Cut to the cemetery that"}

Phase 2,personal entry.[HEAVY BREATHING]Robert Foucault: Damn tragedy. Oh God.Hana Seung: The entire west section is destroyed.[SCENE_BREAK]Leslie Richardson:Paul was always late. He would get so caught up in his work that he would just lose time, completely forget about it. And then he would show up hours later,filthy, like a kid that had been playing out in the mud all day. And always with that look on his face, that look as if he knew that he was in trouble. But it was allworth it. There was this one night I remember, It was while we were living out in South America, he was still in the forest collecting samples. He was late, asusual. But somehow it was different. Morning came. Another day went by. Finally I could hear his footsteps approaching. So, I rushed out to meet him. And all ofthe sudden all of that fear and worry that I'd felt turned into anger, rage. I couldn't believe how selfish he'd been. And then he appeared.Javier Delgado: Victor.There he is.Leslie Richardson: Covered from top to bottom in mud. With that look on his face... that look. And all I could say was, \"I love you.\"Paul Richardson:Without plants we're nothing.Javier Delgado: We are not nothing, my friend.[SCENE_BREAK]Hana Seung: We'd lost seven of our own. The lab and thegreenhouse were destroyed. Olympus Town was on complete lock down until the nations of the IMSF decided on the fate of our mission. Was Mars going to be agiant leap forward, or just a passing novelty. It wasn't the first time humankind had faced this question.Ann Druyan: We accomplished the impossible by steppingon the Moon. This was, the first hop. And there would be a skip, and a jump afterwards. And we'd keep going and going and going, and the future would be one ofendless possibilities, where the Cosmos was ours.Man: What do you think about this Moon landing?Man 2: Well it's the beginning of a new frontier, a gateway toMars.Ann Druyan: That came to a very abrupt halt.Roger Launius: A major turning point for Apollo was the Apollo 13 mission in 1970.Man: Alright Houston, we'vegot a problem.Reporter: There is a bulletin from ABC news. The Apollo 13 spacecraft has had a serious power supply malfunction. A late report says thespacecraft now is operating on battery power alone, all unnecessary equipment is being turned off.Man: Let's everybody keep cool. Let's not make it any worse byguessing.Roger Launius: We came close to losing astronauts. And it scared the living daylights out of lots of people. And some leaders at NASA said we gotta stopthis. This is too risky.John Logsdon: We all lived through that in real time. We were all wrapped up with the fate of the astronauts. It was a close call to get themback and that really spooked Nixon. It soured him on the notion of sending humans away from Earth into deep space. So it was a catalytic turning point inattitudes towards space exploration.James A. Lovell: Jack and Fred and I are very proud and glad to be back here in Texas tonight. There were times when wereally didn't think that we'd make it back here. After the anomaly on 13, I thought that our space exploration would continue to go. But the extreme rate ofprogress slowed down.Peter Diamandis: Apollo was this massive promise of what was going to be going on, right? We were going to the Moon, not to stop. Therewere plans beyond the Moon but all this got killed as the political will petered out and was gone.Roger Launius: On a Mars mission there may be some loss of lifein the process, there may be failures along the road, but people will take it on. One of the things that you have to ask is: 'Are the rest of us willing to allow themto do that?' Space exploration is subject to public opinion, and political support. There's no question about that. If you send astronauts to Mars and they die there,I guarantee you, public opinion will prohibit you from ever doing it again.Hana Seung: As we buried our friends, the fate of the mission was back on Earth in thehands of my sister and the IMSF.Joon Seung: Hi Ed.Ed Grann: How long until we know?Joon Seung: I told the press everything I know; the nations are meetingto discuss how to proceed and then we'll make an official announcement.Ed Grann: You can't let them give up. You just can't. They knew something like this wasa possibility, we all did.Joon Seung: Seven of the world's most beloved scientists and astronauts are dead. Does that mean anything to you?Ed Grann: Of courseit means something to me. What are you talking about? It's a time to be strong, to make a statement that says we're here to stay.Joon Seung: You're not goingto influence my recommendation to the committee.Ed Grann: We've come too far Joon.Joon Seung: If the train is derailing, there's nothing I can do to keep it onthe tracks.Ed Grann: The nations respect you, they will listen to you; you can inspire them to stay the course.Joon Seung: Even if we can Ed, I'm not sure that weshould.Ed Grann: What?Joon Seung: I'm not sure that we should.Ed Grann: Me, I'm sure of one thing. I won't let go.John Logsdon: Dreamers of space havealways had their eyes, their hopes, their aspirations, on getting to Mars.Casey Dreier: Mars has been the goal since Wernher Von Braun got involved withNASA.Mission Control: Liftoff, we have a liftoff!Stephen Petranek: Von Braun overbuilt entirely the rocket to go to the Moon. Saturn 5 is the largest, longest, andheaviest machine ever built by humans. It's absolute overkill for going to the Moon. And the reason is, Von Braun didn't wanna go to the Moon. He wanted to goto Mars. The only reason he got involved in rocketry was because ever since he's a little kid, he's focused on this idea of getting to Mars. He invented the V2rocket when he was in his late twenties and it was the first thing that ever went into space from Earth.Man: Von Braun surrenders to US forces. He and his fellowrocket scientists actually welcomed by the Americans.Stephen Petranek: After the war, he writes a book called 'das Marsprojekt', which is basically a manual onhow to build a fleet of ships that can get to Mars and get humans back. He's worked out all the equations, all the details, of how it could actually be done. And itcaptured the mind of the world. Nobody was thinking about going to the Moon; they were all imagining going to Mars.Man: This closes a golden chapter in the ageof space exploration.Stephen Petranek: At the end of the Apollo program, NASA's beginning to lose its focus: what do we do next? And there are two proposals onRichard Nixon's desk. One proposal is that we build a spaceplane, called the Space Shuttle. The other proposal was from Von Braun and he was really stormingthe halls of Congress, to say that we can go to Mars.Interviewer: When would you see a man on Mars?Wernher Von Braun: We could land a man on Mars in alittle over 10 years if we really wanted to do it.Casey Dreier: Richard Nixon was never that big of a supporter of the space program. He came in wanting to cut thebudget to lower taxes, and space just was not a high priority for that administration. Basically they just wanted fewer leaps for mankind, right? small steps, smallsteps.Stephen Petranek: So Nixon chooses the Space Shuttle over going to Mars. Von Braun quits NASA, and within a few years has cancer and dies.Interviewer:It must have taken a great deal of determination to carry on and, in view of some the early failures that you've had.Von Braun: Well, yes uh, you just have to,shouldn't give up. It's very simple, something blows in your face, try again, try again, try again. One fine day you'll wind up on top.Hana Seung: After thedevastation to the west section we needed to scavenge from our other resources to rebuild, even the old workshop.Javier Delgado: Figure we use the housings topatch the corridor the best we can. If we can get the section sealed with scrap, my team can start working on the damage done to Olympus Town.Marta Kamen:Mm-hmm, Javier!Javier Delgado: What?Marta Kamen: Ven mira.Javier Delgado: Que, what is that, corrosion?Marta Kamen: It looks like, uh, aragonitecrystal.Javier Delgado: Possible the metal catalyzed perculate carried by the storm?Marta Kamen: Unless something reacted with the water that came out of thecondensation filter. It would be nice if I had a lab. It's getting dark. Let's get out of here. Phobos and Deimos.Javier Delgado: Fear and terror, good names for theMoons of Mars.Russian Member: We lost two of our finest cosmonauts to this catastrophe; the support of the Russian people is fading.American Member: We'veknown this since Apollo: once the novelty passes, so does public support, and no one ever died on the Moon.British Member: Is this not the time to make astatement that we're here to stay? We have committed resources, delivered speeches. Giving up now could be a great embarrassment.American Member: Moreembarrassing than another tragedy? We only accepted the risk in the 60s because it was a matter of national defense.Committee Member: People love space, butnot when it means watching heroes die.Russian Member: Secretary Seung, you are as personally invested as any of us. I would like to hear your recommendationto the committee.[SCENE_BREAK]Hana Seung: May I? I'm so sorry. Paul was my responsibility.Leslie Richardson: We don't need to do this.Hana Seung: They allwere.Leslie Richardson: You didn't kill them and neither did Paul.Hana Seung: And neither did you. I gave that order, not you. We didn't have a choiceLeslie.Leslie Richardson: Paul was right in front of me and I didn't see him.Hana Seung: If we have any chance in this place we need you with us.Joon Seung:Hana... they asked me to make a choice, whether to keep pushing, or to bring you home. I tried to go back to that feeling, that feeling we had, staring up atthose stars imagining what was beyond.Hana Seung: Unnie, do you remember that recurring dream I used to have? Walking along the regolith under the twinMoons before I even knew it was Mars I was dreaming about.Joon Seung: When I think about you up there, if it had been you in that corridor...Hana Seung: If ithad been me in that corridor, I only hope someone else would have done the same. This mission, it's bigger than all of us. I've made my peace, and I'd do itagain if I have to. That dream I used to have about Mars. I could never tell Mom why I would wake up crying every time. It wasn't because it was a nightmare. Itwas because the dream was over.Joon Seung: Hana, I told them to bring you home. I'm going to make a public announcement next week.

Because Barega took off too soon.Ty: Yeah, I couldn't even hold her back.Amy: She sees the other horses lined up and she knows what's coming. Baregaloves to run so much that you can't hold her back.

Buffy looks wary, moves over to stand besideGiles.WILLOW: Remember that little spat we had before you left? (shot of Anya watching nervously) When you were under the delusion that you were stillrelevant here? (walking closer) You called me a rank, arrogant amateur. Well buckle up, Rupert... Anya, Buffy, and Giles continue to watch Willow uneasily.Suddenly a magic light from nowhere begins to light up Willow's body, and her eyes go black again as a humming noise begins to rise in pitch andvolume.WILLOW: (deep resonant voice) 'Cause I've turned pro. The humming/whirring noise continues as Willow begins a spell.WILLOW: Asmodea, bringforth--GILES: (gesturing) Vincire! Green magic energy shoots from Giles's hand and forms a band around Willow's torso, pinning her arms against her body. Itglows with a green light that makes Willow's skin appear green too.WILLOW: What? No! Get off! (struggling) Solvo, libero... Giles continues holding out his handtoward her. Suddenly Willow throws back her head and closes her eyes, apparently unconscious. Her body floats up into the air and hovers about a foot off theground. The band of magic holding her changes to a more contained blue-grey color. Anya and Buffy watch warily. Buffy moves closer to Giles. Willow continuesto float in midair.BUFFY: What did you do?GILES: Contained her and her powers within a binding field. It puts her in a kind of ... stasis for the time- Giles looks atBuffy for the first time, pauses. Buffy continues staring at Willow.GILES: You cut your hair. Buffy looks at him, gets teary and hugs him. Anya watches themhugging. She walks up behind them and fidgets for a moment.ANYA: I'm blonde. Giles and Buffy look at her, still with their arms around each other.ANYA: I, Icolored my hair. (pauses) Again. I'm blonde.GILES: Yes, I noticed. Giles holds out one arm and Anya joins the hug. After a moment Giles disengages from Anyaand Buffy, looks at Willow again. He walks over to Willow who is still floating in the air, unconscious, with her head hanging back.GILES: I'm very sorry aboutTara. Giles looks sad, stands there for a moment, starts to walk away.WILLOW: This... Giles pauses, looks at her in surprise. Willow opens her eyes a little andcranes her neck toward him.WILLOW: ...won't hold me ... forever. Giles looks a bit alarmed. Buffy and Anya look grim.Cut to later. Buffy and Giles are in theworkout room at the back of the magic shop. Buffy stands by the pommel horse while Giles is picking nervously at the practice dummy in a corner.GILES: I cameas soon as I heard.BUFFY: The Council?GILES: The Council haven't a clue. About much of anything, really. (walking toward Buffy, leaning on the horse) No,there's an ... an extremely powerful coven in Devon. They sensed the rise of a dangerous magical force here in Sunnydale. A dark force, fueled by grief.BUFFY:Willow.GILES: I'd so hoped it wasn't her. (pauses) And then a seer in the coven told me about Tara. That's when the coven ... imbued me with theirpowers.BUFFY: And sent you here to bring Willow down.GILES: (looks at her) Buffy, what's happened here?BUFFY: (pacing) God. I don't even know where tostart.GILES: Well, Willow's clearly been abusing the magicks.BUFFY: (nods) She has. She was ... and I barely even noticed. Giles, everything's just been so...(sighs) Xander left Anya at the altar, and Anya's a vengeance demon again... (Giles looking shocked) Dawn's a total klepto ... money's been so tight that I'vebeen slinging burgers at the Doublemeat Palace ... (looks down at the floor) And I've been sleeping with Spike. Buffy pauses, looks up at Giles, looks as if shecan't believe she just said that. Giles stares at her. She looks away again, embarrassed. Suddenly Giles starts laughing. He covers his mouth with his hand butcan't stop. Buffy stares at him, pouty.GILES: (trying to calm down) Sorry. He bursts out laughing again. Buffy rolls her eyes, now just looks amused. Giles keepslaughing and slowly Buffy starts to laugh too. They both stand there laughing.Cut to the main Magic Box room. Anya is cleaning up some of the debris on thefloor. She puts a bunch of stuff into a small basket and carries it toward the counter, past the still floating Willow. Willow's eyes open slightly and she watchesAnya walk across the room. Her voice echoes between them although her mouth doesn't move.WILLOW: (telepathically) Anya... Anya turns around, looks atWillow nervously.ANYA: Willow.WILLOW: (telepathically) I need you, Anya. I need you to do something for me. Anya twists her hands together nervously, gathersher nerve and moves a little closer to Willow.ANYA: I know what you're trying to do. And I hate to burst your bubble, but that mind control mojo doesn't work onvengeance demons, so why don't you just-WILLOW: (telepathically) Stop talking and listen.ANYA: (nods) Okay.WILLOW: (telepathically)You need to freeme.ANYA: (uncertain) No. Anya turns and starts walking toward the back.WILLOW: (telepathically) You don't want to call out to them. (Anya stops) You want totake away this binding spell.ANYA: (turns back toward Willow) I don't know how.WILLOW: (telepathically) I do. Do you want me to tell you? Anya hesitates,looking anxious. Cut back to the workout room. Buffy and Giles are still laughing helplessly. Buffy is leaning over the pommel horse.GILES: (laughing) Ducttape?BUFFY: (laughing) On their mouths. So the demon could eat them...GILES: Because they were figments. More laughing.BUFFY: All of it! You, Sunnydale ...And I was just some nutcase in L.A.GILES: (still laughing) Of course. Why didn't we see it before? Slowly they stop laughing, and look much calmer than before.Buffy holds her stomach. GILES Can you forgive me?BUFFY: For what?GILES: I should never have left.BUFFY: No. You were right to leave. We're just ...stupid.GILES: I know you're all stupid. (Buffy smiling) I should never have abandoned you.BUFFY: No. Giles, you were right about everything. It is time I was anadult.GILES: Sometimes the most adult thing you can do is ... ask for help when you need it.BUFFY: Now you tell me. They smile. Giles chuckles a little.BUFFY:(quietly) I guess ... I wasn't ready before. It took a long time for that feeling to go away ... the feeling that I wasn't really here. It was like ... when I clawed myway out of that grave, I left something behind. Part of me. I just... (pauses, looks Giles in the eye) I don't understand ... why I'm back.GILES: You have acalling.BUFFY: But it was my time, Giles. Someone would have taken my place. (Giles grimacing) So why? Giles looks away, pensive, not answering.BUFFY: Right.(sighs) What's gonna happen to Willow? Giles looks at her, straightens up.GILES: Well, the coven is working on a ... way to extract her powers without ... killingher. And, uh, should she survive, you ought to know, Buffy, that there's no guarantee she'll ... be as she was. (Buffy looking concerned) Willow has killed ahuman being. How will she be able to live with herself?WILLOW: (O.S.) I wouldn't worry about that. Giles and Buffy turn toward the doorway. We see Anyahovering in the doorway, apparently unconscious. Giles and Buffy stare in alarm. Willow moves out from behind Anya. Her eyes are black again.WILLOW: Willowdoesn't live here anymore. Willow lets go of Anya and she falls to the floor. Zoom in on Buffy looking alarmed. Blackout.[SCENE_BREAK]ActII[SCENE_BREAK]Open on the same scene. Willow stands in the doorway over Anya's unconscious body. Buffy looks at Giles, then starts forward to attack Willow.Willow lifts her hand and sends a bolt of magic at Buffy, who flies back, crashes against the wall opposite, and falls to the ground. Giles watches this with alarm,then starts toward Willow himself.GILES: Vincire! Giles holds out a hand toward Willow, sending another binding spell toward her, but she waves her hand atit.WILLOW: Solutum. The binding field dissolves. Giles lowers his hand. Willow takes a few steps into the room.WILLOW: (small smile) Fool me once... On the wallbehind Willow we see a variety of knives and throwing-weapons hanging in a case. They suddenly lift off the wall and hover in the air.GILES: Willow...WILLOW:(shaking a finger) Shame on you. The knives begin to fly toward Giles. He looks to his left and yells something. The practice dummy flies over in front of Giles,and all the knives slam into it. Willow makes an angry face and waves her hand. The dummy falls aside. Giles looks determined, makes a ball of magic in his handand throws it at Willow.GILES: Excudo! Willow flies backward into the brick wall and through it into the main Magic Box room behind. She slams into a pillar thatsupports the upper loft, and falls to the floor in a shower of bricks, debris, etc.Cut to: exterior residential street, night. Dawn and Xander walk along, with"}

An hour ago,I resigned as State's Attorney of Cook Country. I did this with a heavy heart and a deep commitment to fight these scurrilous charges. I wanna be clear. I'venever abused my office. I've never traded lighter senses for financial or sexual favors. At the same time, I need to atone for my personal failings with my wife,Alicia, and our two children. The money used in these transactions was mine and mine alone. No public funds were ever utilized. But I do admit to the failure ofjudgment in my private dealings with these women. Alicia and I ask the press, please respect our privacy. Give us time to hear. With the love of God, and theforgiveness of my family, I know I can rebuild their trust. I wanna thank the people of Chicago; it has been an honor to serve you. And I pray that one day, I mayserve you again. Thank you.(Alicia and Peter leave)Journalists: Sir! Are you still involved with prostitutes, sir? How many were there, sir? Will you ever try to holdpublic office again? Sir! Answer the question![In a hall]Press agent: We have interviews set up with the Tribune and Channel Four.Peter: Absolutely not! I'm notdoing any more interviews. I want you to cancel all of them. That's it!Press agent: I'll tell Channel Two, we don't have a comment at the present time but weemphatically question the authenticity of this thing.(Press agents leave)Peter: Hey, you all right?(Alicia slaps Peter and then, leaves)Journalists: Mrs.Florrick, howlong have you know your husband was having an affair? How are you going to protect your children?[6 months later; in an office](Alicia is waiting and a girlpasses in the hall)Alicia: Oh excuse me, isn't the staff meeting at 9.30?The girl: You're in the wrong conference room. It's up one floor.Alicia: Oh, God!(Aliciatakes her stuff and runs to the other floor. She enters into a room)A voice (Will's voice): This is a major class action. A case that could propel us to the top rank offull service firms, and I don't think I need to remind you what that will do to your year-end bonuses. Anyway, Sheffrin-Marks fired their last firm because theytook their eyes off the ball. So, until further notice, your personal lives have been cancelled.Another voice (Diane's): So, we'll need some of you to help with thelower profile client work to free up our top litigators.Will: Ed, you take the witness prep on highway redistribution. Don, you take the Brighton criminal and Aliciawill take the pro bono. Everyone else, your task is to show Sheffrin-Marks our 'A' game, ok? Let's do this!(End of the meeting- Alicia and Will are in the hall andthey're walking)Alicia: Will.Will: Alicia.Alicia: Hey.Will: I'm sorry I didn't introduce you in there. Everything is moving real fast with this class action.Alicia: Well, Ijust wanted to say thank you for the opportunity. It's a real life saver.Will: No, glad you could come aboard. Hope you're all right with this pro bono. How'd itsound?Alicia: Interesting.Will: Good. Don't be nervous. You worried about the gunshot residue?Alicia: No...oh, god! (phone rings)Will: Nice ring tone. Who getsthat?Alicia: Oh, my mother-in-law. My daughter programmed it.Will: What's yours?Alicia: I don't wanna know! So, the gun residue.Will: Diane, you're briefingAlicia, right? Good. So you're in good hands. So, let's catch up, have dinner.(Diane arrives, Will leaves - Diane and Alicia walk in the halls)Diane: So, Will speakshighly of you. He says you graduated top of your class at Georgetown. When was this?Alicia: 15 years ago.Diane: Hum, hum...and you spent 2 years at?Alicia:Crozier, Abrams & Abbott.Diane: Good firm. Will says you clocked the highest billable hours there. Why did you leave?Alicia: Well, the kids and Peter'scareer.Diane: Hum...Brian, can you get Mrs. Florrick the files?Brian: Sure!Diane: I want you to think of me as a mentor, Alicia. It's the closest thing we have to anold boys' network in this town.[Diane's office]Diane: Women helping women, ok?Alicia: Ok.Diane: When I was starting out, I got one great piece of advice. Mencan be lazy, women can't. And I think that goes double for you. Not only, you're coming back to the workplace fairly late, but you've some very prominentbaggage. But, hey, she can do it, so can you!(Brian enters in the office)Diane: Thanks Brian! Like many law firms, we donate 5% of billable hours to pro bono.Sadly, I'm long past my quota on this one: Jennifer Lewis, 26 years old, taught second grade. Accused of killing her ex-husband. Prosecution thought it was aslam dunk 45 years, but the jury came back last week, deadlocked. 6 jurors voted to convict, 6 not; I'm not even sure why the State Attorney is re-trying excepthe wants...Justice! He wants to prove himself! So, stick with my strategy from the first trial. The police focused on Jennifer so early in the investigation, theynever even looked for the carjacker. Deadlock a jury a second time, they'll never re-try a third, ok? Ok, our investigator can get you up to speed for the bailhearing at 3. Cormac, I'm ready!Alicia: The hearing's today?Diane: Well, we could delay, but that would leave Jennifer incarcerated for another month. Don'tworry, you'll be fine! The ASA's not going to argue against a recognizance release. Let's go, meeting at 10.30.(Diane leaves and Alicia follows)[In the hall, Aliciahears the TV from Brian's office. It's the speech of Peter]Sound from the TV: But I do admit to a failure of judgment in my private dealings with thesewomen.Brian: Sorry.Sound from the TV: ...mine and mine alone. No public funds were ever utilized. The recent news...(Alicia leaves)[In the hall of theoffices]Cary: Hey, let me help.Alicia: No, I'm fine.Cary: I'm heading that way. I'm Cary, the other new associate.Alicia: Oh right, Alicia.Cary: Yeah, look, I knowwe should be hate each other's throats, but I just wanna say I really respect what you're doing here. Raising a family and then, jumping back into this. My mum,she's thinking of doing the same thing.Alicia: Great.Cary: Yeah. So, you're on the pro bono, right?Alicia: Humhum.Cary: Yeah, that's great! I interned lastsummer at the Innocence Project. My dad's best friend is Barry Scheck and it was just amazing: helping people. Here, they got me on the Sheffrin-Marks. I'msure it will be challenging, but at the end of the day, what have you really done? Saved a corporation of few billion dollars?Alicia: You wanna trade?Cary: I would,but I guess they have other plans, so...(An assistant arrives in the hall with some field)An assistant: I'm almost done, Cary. The last one is on your desk.Cary:Thank you.The assistant: Hi, Mrs. Florrick.Cary: Looks like we share an assistant, so tell me when I'm hogging her, ok? And let the best men win!Alicia: Excuseme?Cary: Let the...nothing! It's nothing. I...It's nothing![In Alicia's office]Alicia: Oops...(There is someone in her office)Kalinda: Don't worry. It's yours!Alicia:Oh!Kalinda: Kalinda Sharma. I'm the in-house.Alicia: Oh, the investigator.Kalinda: You're Peter Florrick's wife.Alicia: That's right!Kalinda: I worked with him atthe State's attorney's office three years. He fired me.Alicia: Ok.Kalinda: So what do you know?Alicia: The client is a second-grade school teacher,Jennifer.Kalinda: Lewis.Alicia: Arrested for killing her ex-husband.Kalinda: Making it look like a botched carjacking. Gunshot residue was found on Jennifer's faceand hands. (They walked outside the office) That's why the cops started to think it was a murder disguised as a carjacking. According to them, Jennifer shot herex-husband and wiped down the gun.Alicia: And the motive?Kalinda: He remarried and wanted custody of the 3 years-old. Witnesses saw them arguing a weekbefore the murder.(In an elevator - Alicia's phone rings)Rings: hey, mom, pick up the phone. Hey, mom, pick up the phone.Alicia: Sorry, it's my daughter.(On thephone)Alicia: Hi, Grace.Grace: Hey, mom. I want to ask you a question, but I don't want you to freak out, ok?Alicia: Oh, oh.Grace: Forget it! I'll ask Zach.Alicia:No, no! What?(See Grace on the phone)Grace: All right, well, some girl said that slept with a hooker my age. And I just...(Alicia is in the hall at the Court)Alicia:What?A guardian: Madam, you'll have to turn that off.Grace: They were playing the tape in the computer lab, and some girls said her dad's a cop and he said oneof the hookers was a teenager.Alicia: Ok, first of all, they were all over 20 and second, where is the teacher?Grace: It's no big deal, mom. Look I've gothomework. I'll talk to you later.(Alicia arrives in front of the door)Kalinda: What?Alicia: Last time, I was in court was 13 years ago.Kalinda: Wow, I was 12.Alicia:Thanks![In the court]A voice: The judge reaches into his pocket, pulls out a check, handing it to the plaintiff. I'm returning 5 grand and we're going to decide this.It's Florrick's wife. Alicia? My god. Matan, from the department Christmas party. You're at Stern, Lockhart & Gardner?Alicia: Yeah, first day.Matan: Oh, this isSandra Pai. She's new since Peter. How is he doing by the way?Alicia: Peter? Fine!Matan: Say hello for me, will you? Look at all this. You're gonna to bury us. Idon't know how you do it, Alicia. I'd be huddled up in a ball somewhere. Well, back to work.(The judge arrives)Matan: Good luck.(Jennifer, the client,arrives)Jennifer: Where's Diane?Alicia: Diane asks me to step in for her. Jennifer, I'm Alicia Florrick. I'm one of the other layers with the firm.Jennifer: Step in?For how long?Alicia: For the retrial.Jennifer: Oh my god!A voice: All right, man. The Criminal Court of Cook County is now in session, the honorable judge RichardCuesta presiding.The judge: Be seated! Ok, let's hear it!Alicia: Your honor, I just...Matan: Your Honor, just to refresh your memory, the accused was deemed aflight risk due to an earlier custody hearing in which she threatened to run off with her daughter.The judge: And yet just last week a jury deadlocked on thesemurder charges six to six, Mr.Brody. Now, I know our new state's attorney wants to look tough, but why are you fighting this?Alicia: Your Honor, I just wantedto...Matan: The people are prepared to retry this case right now, your Honor. If Mrs.Florrick is so intent on getting her client out, why doesn't she agree to aspeedy trial?The judge: Mrs. Florrick?Alicia: Yes, your Honor.The judge: The wife of the esteem Peter Florrick? You husband and I never quite saw eye to eye,madam.Alicia: Your Honor.The judge: Mrs.Florrick, don't talk! But if the prosecution thinks that this will in some way prejudice me against your client, he is sorelymistaken. Nice try, Matan. So Mrs. Lewis is granted pretrial release with an electronic monitoring. She is restricted to temporary housing attorney's offices, andtransit in between. And given that this is rerun, I'll set the trial date for the 25th. Now, are we all happy? Good!Jennifer: Thank you!Alicia: Sure.(Lockhart's office- meeting between Jennifer, Alicia and Kalinda)Jennifer: We had a nice time. Michael talked about missing his daughter; the life we had together. We were drivinghome and uh... We got a flat. He was getting out to fix it, and I saw...a red pickup truck. A man came up to Michael. I didn't see the gun until.(Flashbacks of themoment - we see Jennifer screaming)Jennifer: Michael!(In the office)Jennifer: And I saw Michael's face. It was, um...Alicia: Do you need to take a break?Jennifer:No, just...if there is some water.Alicia: Sure.(Alicia leaves - Kalinda and Jennifer stay in the office)(Alicia speaks to her assistant)Alicia: Sonia, we need some"}

I am so excited about the homecoming dance next weekend.Pacey: The homecoming dance? *Andie nods*Pacey: Oh my God, we're hanging outwith Marcia Brady.Andie: I don't understand. What's wrong with the school dance?Dawson: I think what Pacey's actually saying is that we're not exactly theschool dance type.Joey: We'd rather watch a movie about a high school dance than actually set foot in an over-decorated gym.Pacey: Actually, this enditement ofhigh school conventions isn't limited to dances. It covers the whole spectrum of school-sponsored events. Case-in-point: Joey, how many high school footballgames have you been to?Joey: None.Pacey: Mm-hm. And Dawson? How many pep rallies have you loyally attended?Dawson: Zero.Pacey: Mm-hm.Andie: Uh! Youguys are a bunch of cynics, you know that?

Now, Dawson, if you don't mind, could you turn the video back on? 'Cause I really want to see who's responsible for KevinBacon's rougueish, devil-maker, hair do(?). *He smiles at Andie as the tape comes back on. Andie walks over and stands in front of the TV*Andie: You mean youwould rather watch a movie about something than doing it yourselves?Dawson and Joey: Correct. *Andie walks over and sits on the windowseat*Andie: Okay,what about s*x? *Dawson, Pacey, and Joey look over.*Andie: I mean, you guys are missing a major opportunity here. Why do you think the (?) were so adamentabout outlawing dancing? They believed it to be sinful.Dawson: Are you saying dancing equals s*x?Andie: No. But dancing could possibly be really great foreplay.*Joey looks at Dawson*Pacey: I love the way you think.Andie: So...who's going with me on Saturday?*Joey looks at Dawson again and scratches her head. Paceymakes a face like 'Whoa'**Cut to Bessie and Joey pulling up to Capeside High. Joey's getting out but she stops*Bessie: Okay. We're here.

Choreboy down at the Icehouse?Joey: Yes.Bessie: Hekissed you?Joey: It was nothing, really. It happened and then it was over.Bessie: So what's the problem then?Joey: Dawson?Bessie: Oh...you didn't tell him, didyou?Joey: No. I mean, here's the thing. I mean, this is a classic example of what I would tell Dawson, the friend, but since Dawson, the friend, has becomeDawson, the boyfriend, the concept of newsworthy events has become a little blurry.Bessie: Okay, look. Here's the way I see it. Jack kissed you, right? It was a 1way kiss, right?Joey: Yeah.Bessie: Surprise whenever(?), completely uninvited, all-in-all no big deal. You didn't do anything wrong. Don't beat yourself up over it.If you want my advice, just put it behind you, concentrate on Dawson, pretend it didn't happen.Joey: What didn't happen?Bessie: Exactly.Joey: Thanks, Bess.See ya!Bessie: Okay *She drives off* *Cut to Abby and Jen*Abby: No way those are real.Jen: What? You think those are man-made?Abby: Yes! Jen, please!Physical enhancement caters not only to size. It can improve shape, direction, perk factor..that girls had some work done.Jen: Yeah, well, Brett sure doesn't seemto mind.Abby: Oh, please. Brett Tompkins is just a dim bulb with good hair and tight pants. A classic him-bo. In other words, perfect.Jen: If that's yourtype.Abby: Aw, what's the matter, Jen? Brett's too much man not enough touchy-feely film amateur(?). Full market down(?). Come Saturday night, Brett andKristy will be history. Saturday, Brett will be mine.Jen: Abby, that's pathetic. You're going to the homecoming dance to hit on somebody else's boyfriend?Abby:Well, my guidance counselor told me to set goals for myself.Jen: You're on your own.Abby: Fine. Suit yourself. Stay at home and read Scripture with Grandma.Brett and I will drop you a line from Vegas. *Cut to Brett and Kristy.*Brett: Don't pull me away like I'm some stupid dog on a leash!Kristy: Well, how aboutacknowledging me when you see me outside, huh! *Dawson walks by listening to them heading towards Joey at her locker.*Dawson: Promise me we will neverair a relationship crisis about anything like that. I can't think of anything more embarressing and immature.Joey: Deal.Dawson: Okay. *They kiss*Dawson: Now,remind me again how Andie McPhee convinced us to go to this homecoming dance.Joey: I think by promising us that dancing always ends in taudrysmud-action(?).Dawson: Oh. Could that possibly be our first mention of s*x since we've been together?Joey: Possibly.Dawson: Why is that? When we werefriends we talked about s*x all the time.Joey: I think because we wanted to ease into the subject to make the transition from friend tolover..unconfusing.Dawson: Ah, if we are confused about the transition from friend to lover, I can only think of one thing that would truly cinch it.Joey: What doyou suggest?Dawson: That you put on your dancing shoes. *Joey smiles* *Jen and Abby walk by*Jen: Hey guys.Dawson: Hey Jen.Abby: Wipe the drool,Dawson.Joey: I don't like the two of them being so chummy. I mean, Abby is not a good influence for Jen.Dawson: *laughing* Is this genuine concern I'mhearing for Jen Lindley?Joey: Well, I feel sorry for her, I mean, her grandpa just died. Maybe we should invite her to the dance. I mean, we're going as a group.Might be fun for her.Dawson: Joey Potter, I applaude you. You earn major humanity points for this. *Joey smiles and shrugs*Dawson: But, um, don't you think itmay make her feel worse than she already does?Joey: I don't know. All I know is that it's really hard to lose a family member, Dawson, and I just think it mightbe fun for her. It's up to you. Your call.Dawson: I'll see you later.Joey: Okay. *They kiss* *Joey sees Jack enter the building and stares and then turns and walksaway.* *Cut to Andie and Pacey outside*Pacey: So since I'm in charge of transportation Saturday, would you like me to pick you up at your house or meetsomewhere.Andie: Let's meet somewhere.Pacey: Cool. How's your mother doing anyway?Andie: She's having a good week.Pacey: Listen, Andie, if there's everanything I can do, you can just ask me, right?Andie: So Witter. I hope you have your dancing moves polished and ready 'cause I plan on making a dancing fooloutta you.Pacey: Sorry, McPhee, no can do, I don't dance.Andie: What do you mean you don't dance?Pacey: I mean, I don't like it and I'm really not any good atit. I mean, it's bad enough that I'm just going on Saturday but don't expect me to get out there and start bustin' a move 'cause it's just not going tohappen.Andie: You don't dance. You are beyond immature.Pacey: You're overbearing.Andie: Boring.Pacey: Hyper-sensitive.Andie: Vulgar.Pacey: Pick you up at7?Andie: Great.Pacey: Okay. *Dawson walks up*Dawson: Are you two having a spat?Pacey: No, just our usual passive-aggressive banter.Dawson: Okay.Andie:No, actually we were talking about the dance, and, hey, if you guys don't mind, I'd really like to invite my brother Jack to come along. You know, he's kind of aloner and I think it would be good for him.Dawson: Actually, why don't we also invite Jen Lindley?Andie: Jack and Jen? A set-up.Dawson: I mean, I'm not surethey're a perfect match but they're both single.Andie: I like it.Pacey: No, guys. This is a bad idea.Dawson: You never know. It could work!Andie: Let's doit.Pacey: No, don't, come on. Whenever you fix up two people who don't even know each other, it's a recipe for disaster. This can only end badly. I promise you.Please.Andie: I'll set it up.Dawson: Great.Andie: Buh-bye.Pacey: Am I invisible? *Cut to Dawson's house. Dawson's parents are on the porch. Dawson walksin.*Dawson: Hi.Mitch: Dawson, have a seat.Dawson: Okay. What's going on?Mitch: Well, I know things got a little out of hand the other night, and, well, I'm notsure what the segway is here, but your mother and I, after much talk, after much consideration, have decided--Gail: Um, honey, sometimes you focus so hard onthe solution that when you step away and you pull back, only then does the solution truly appear.Mitch: Yes. Right. And as improbable as this approach mightseem, sometimes it's the only one left and, um, and in this case, it's the only one left.Gail: What we're trying to say is that...is thatMitch: Your mother and I havedecided to spend some time apart.Dawson: Well, it looks like you two have given this quite a bit of careful thought.Gail: Yes, we have.Dawson: And thesuggestion from me for you to go back to counseling wouldn't make any difference.Mitch: We've tried it.Dawson: So my suggestion that you make a moreconcerted effort at trying to find a solution. Maybe improve communication, possibly, family outings, truth syrum.Mitch: Dawson, your opinion is important to usand we love you. But we're not open to suggestions on this one. This is a conclusion. A conclusion that we've reached.Dawson: Yeah, well I conclude that yourconclusion sucks. *Dawson walks off* *Cut to Jack and Andie*Jack: Why didn't you just let Pacey pick us up at the house?Andie: You know why, Jack.Jack: Didyou strap Mom in for the evening?Andie: It's not funny.Jack: She's not getting any better, you know?Andie: You know, Jack, I want a night off. Just one night off.One attempt at fun. Can we do that please?Jack: Well, maybe I shouldn't be around, I'll just bring you down, Andie. I hate dances. I don't do good at thesethings.Andie: Don't be silly. It will be fun, okay? Besides, it's time we got you out and you met some of Capeside's cuties. And who knows? You might meet thewoman of your dreams tonight.Jack: Maybe. Maybe I already have.Andie: Oh good, here's Pacey. *Pacey pulls up in his cop car*Jack: Quite a car.Andie: It's hisdad's. They have a complex relationship. *Cut to Mitch loading suitcases into the jeep*Mitch: Look, I should get going. Gail, this is just a trial, okay? Onlytemporary.Gail: Absolutely. Only temporary. Um, look, are there rules? Can we talk to each other?Mitch: Of course we can talk to each other! You can call mewhenever you need to.Gail: Go.Mitch: Bye Gail. *He leaves and Gail starts crying* *Cut to Dawson coming down the stairs into the kitchen where his mom iscutting onions.*Dawson: Mom, are you alright?Gail: *with hints in her voice that she's been crying* Uh, yeah, Dawson, I'm fine.

Since you and I are both reluctant to go, I think I've come up with a perfect way for us to enjoy it.Penny: Great, how?Sheldon: We pretend we'realiens. I'm not the best at reading facial cues, but I'm gonna say that you love it and want to hear more. Now, in the beloved novel Hitchhiker's Guide to theGalaxy, an alien named Ford Prefect pretended to be human in order to blend in so that he could write an entry about Earth for The Hitchhiker's Guide to theGalaxy, which is a travel book within the actual book, which is also called The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.Penny: Okay, just one question. What?Sheldon: Mypoint is, pretending to be an alien is a valuable coping mechanism I've used many times. I did it the first time I went to see you in a play. You had no ideaCommander Umfrumf of Ceti Alpha Three was in the audience. Oh, don't worry, he gave you seven thumbs up.Penny: Here's a question, as an alien pretending tobe human, are you planning to engage in any post-prom mating rituals with Amy?Sheldon: There are post-prom mating rituals?Penny: Not always. Unless yourdate drives a van with an air mattress, then always.Sheldon: Well, if it's part of the prom experience, then I'm open to it.Penny: You're kidding.Sheldon: I may bean alien, but I have urges. If Amy wants to copulate by firing her eggs into space, well, then, I will happily catch them with the reproductive sac on my upperflermin. I'm not the best at reading facial cues, but I can see that you're a little turned on.[SCENE_BREAK][ The apartment ]Leonard: You know, if you're notgonna learn how to do this, they make some pretty good clip-ons.Sheldon: Bruce Wayne doesn't wear a clip-on.Leonard: Bruce Wayne doesn't make hisroommate tie it for him.Sheldon: His name is Alfred, and, yes, he does.Leonard: There, perfect.Sheldon: What, are you sure?

It's all the fun ofhigh school high jinks with the cell-protecting zip of antioxidants.Leonard: If you had ripped jeans and a leather jacket, you'd be like the toughest kid on theDisney Channel. So, anything else planned for tonight?Sheldon: Oh, everything. Getting our picture taken, slow-dancing, being elected prom king. Pointing outthat kings aren't elected. It's gonna be off the hook.Leonard: And while you're at it, I know that at this age your hormones are raging, but just because all yourfriends are having s*x doesn't mean you have to.Sheldon: Why would you say that?Leonard: You know, 'cause, 'cause a lot of people lose their virginity on promnight.Sheldon: Penny implied the same thing.

Try notto touch it when you're dancing.Sheldon: Excuse me.Amy: Where are you going?Sheldon: I can't do this. And for your information, Leonard, the upper flermindoesn't grow between my shoulder blades, it grows out of the belly button on my neck.Leonard: He's right, I was thinking of the lower flermin.[SCENE_BREAK][ Alimo ]Raj: Ooh, I'll, uh, text Stuart, let him know we're close.Bernadette: That's a neat tattoo.Emily: Oh, thanks, it's Sally from Nightmare beforeChristmas.Bernadette: Aw, that movie's so cute.Howard: Do you like her because you both have red hair?Emily: Uh, a little, but more that she's covered in scarsand can pull her own limbs off and sew them back on.Bernadette: I like Cinderella.Emily: Did you know, in the original book, the sisters cut off their toes withknives in order to fit in the glass slipper?Bernadette: I like Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo.Raj: Hey, here comes Stuart and his date.Emily: Oh, she's cute.Howard: Oh, myGod.Bernadette: What?Howard: That's Jeanie.Bernadette: That's Jeanie?Emily: Who's Jeanie?Howard: Don't say it.Raj: That's Howard's cousin that he had s*xwith.Howard: She is my second cousin.

Credits sequenceScene: A few moments later.Howard: Oh, God, this is good.Raj: Let me ask you a question.Do you believe you're going to go to hell for eating sweet and sour pork?Howard: Jews don't have hell. We have acid reflux.Leonard: Do you want the lastdumpling, Sheldon?Sheldon: Certainly. It's not like I have to moderate my food intake because I'm planning on eating again very shortly. Mm, mm, mm!Leonard:So, you guys want to do something tonight?Howard: Nah, I can't. I got to pick up my mom from her water aerobics class. 18 overweight women flapping theirarm fat in a swimming pool. Looks like the manatee tank at Sea World.Leonard: What about you, Raj?Raj: Oh, there it is, now that you don't have a girlfriend,you want to hang out with me again.Leonard: I never stopped hanging out with you.Raj: Oh, please, we all know I'm the friend you call when you have no otheroptions. If we were the Justice League, I'd be Aquaman.Howard: I wish you were Aquaman. Then I could send you to scoop my mom out of the old ladytank.Sheldon: Excuse me, I'm thirsty, so I'm going to go to the refrigerator and get myself a refreshing beverage.Leonard: You know what? I'll just spend theevening alone.Raj: What, suddenly I'm not good enough for you?Sheldon: Ah, I do so love beverages. Now I think I'll take my after-dinner walk.Leonard: Sincewhen do you take after-dinner walks?Howard: Yeah, since when do you take walks?Sheldon: I read a study online that walking after a meal not only aids indigestion, but increases serotonin, and you know me, if there's one thing I like more than a refreshing beverage, it's serotonin. Bye-bye.Howard: Hold on. I'll walkdown with you.Sheldon: Oh, that's not necessary. You can go first.Howard: Or we could go together.Sheldon: I can't think of a reason why not.Howard: Let'sgo.Sheldon: Hold on. Nope, no reason.Raj: I've missed you.Scene: The lobby.Sheldon: All right, say hello to your mother for me.Howard: Okay.Sheldon:What?Howard: You said you were going for a walk.Sheldon: I didn't say outside.Howard: So what, you're just gonna walk up and down the stairs?Sheldon: No, ofcourse not. That would be odd and suspicious behavior.Woman's voice: Here Bubbles. Here boy.Howard: Which way are you going?Sheldon: Which way are yougoing?Howard: I parked my scooter down the block.Sheldon: I'm going the other way. Bye.Howard: Bye. Actually, I'm this way.

Have a nice scoot.Howard: You might want to stand back. I'm sitting on top of 13 horses here.Sheldon: Oh. Hello, doggie. Nice doggie. Ibet you think you smell hot dogs. Look, a cat!Scene: Penny's apartment.Sheldon: (Knock, knock, knock) Penny, (knock, knock, knock) Penny. (Long pause,knock, knock, knock) Penny. (Penny opens door.

Next to you, I'll look like a catch.Leonard: I'm not going out tonight, Raj.Raj: All right. Would you mind if I went to your room anddownloaded some Asian pornography?Leonard: Very much.Raj: Doesn't have to be Asian.Leonard: Don't worry. You'll meet a girl someday.Raj: No, Iwon't.Leonard: Yes, you will, and she'll be beautiful, and kind and sexy and funny and everything you ever wanted in a woman.Raj: You really think so?Leonard: Ido, and you'll fall hopelessly in love and give her your heart. And she'll take it and grind it into pathetic, little pieces.Raj: But we'll have s*x first, right?Scene:Penny's apartment.Sheldon: Mmm, mmm, mmm. That's Eye-talian.Penny: So, um, was Leonard okay with you coming over?Sheldon: Oh, yes. In fact, he said,I'm fine, I don't care. And he in no way said it in a manner which would lead one to believe that he was covering up feelings of anguish and betrayal.Penny: Well,good.Sheldon: I'm also pleased to report that he's all cried out over you.Penny: He's been crying?Sheldon: Oh, I believe that was something else I wasn'tsupposed to mention.Penny: Oh, God, I feel terrible.Sheldon: Do you have a stomach ache, too?Penny: No. Why, do you?Sheldon: No.Penny: Why did you ask if Ihad one, too?Sheldon: Just making polite dinner conversation. Your turn.Penny: All right. So, what's new in your life?Sheldon: Well, my new shoes are not madefor running.Penny: Have you been running?Sheldon: No. It's just a suspicion I have. Mmm, mmm, mmm.Penny: I'm so glad you like it.Sheldon: I do. Leonardnever cooks for me.Penny: Well, maybe that's 'cause Leonard can't cook.Sheldon: You can't cook and you made me this.Penny: Whatever. Ooh, I'm gonna getthe cheesecake out of the fridge.Sheldon: Oh, Lord, I'm in Jewish hell.[SCENE_BREAK]Scene: The apartment.Raj: Look at this. Do you think she's really doingthat or is it PhotoShop?Leonard: I'm pretty sure Martha Stewart never got naked with a room full of big, fat Japanese guys.Raj: You don't know that. Prisonchanges people.Leonard: Hey, where you been?Sheldon: I told you, walking.Leonard: For an hour and a half?Sheldon: I got lost.Leonard: How could you get lost?Your phone has GPS.Sheldon: Satellites are down. Solar flares.Raj: There are no solar flares right now.Sheldon: Yes, there are.Raj: Dude, I'm an astrophysicist.If there were solar flares, I'd be all up in it.Sheldon: I'm sorry. I misspoke. What I meant to say was my battery died.Leonard: What the hell was that about?Raj:I don't know. Do you think this is really Hillary Clinton doing it with Oprah?Leonard: Oh, we really need to get you a girl.Scene: Leonard's bedroom. Leonard isasleep.Sheldon: (Knock, knock, knock) Leonard, (knock, knock, knock) Leonard, (knock, knock, knock) Leonard.Leonard: Oh, just come in!Sheldon: Thanks forseeing me on such short notice.Leonard: What do you want, Sheldon?Sheldon: Maybe this isn't a good time.Leonard: Tell me why you woke me up or I swear toGod I will kill you.Sheldon: Do you really think death threats are an appropriate way to begin this conversation? Sometimes your lack of social skills astonishesme.Leonard: What do you want?Sheldon: You may want to sit down.Leonard: I'm in bed!Sheldon: Point taken. You may want to sit up.Leonard:Sheldon!Sheldon: I've been seeing Penny behind your back.Leonard: Okay, when you say seeing Penny, what exactly does that mean?Sheldon: We had dinnerlast night. She made me spaghetti with little hot dogs cut up in it. Well, little hot dog. I gave up the other five hot dogs to a real dog. A real, big dog. A hellhound. Tangential to the primary story. How about I circle back to it?Leonard: Fine. Why did you have dinner with Penny?Sheldon: I told you, she made spaghettiwith little hot dogs. I like spaghetti with little hot dogs.Leonard: Then why did you have Chinese food with us?Sheldon: I didn't want to upset you. Howard made itvery clear that my allegiance should be to male comrades before women who sell their bodies for money.Leonard: Is it possible he said Bros before Hos?Sheldon:Yes, but I rephrased it to avoid offending the hos.Leonard: Sheldon, I don't care if you want to be friends with Penny.Sheldon: Oh. Well, so the emotional turmoilthat's been keeping me from achieving REM sleep was entirely unjustified?Leonard: Yes.Sheldon: Well then as my meemaw would say, looks like we butchered apig, but nobody wanted bacon.Leonard: I guess not.Sheldon: And now, as promised, the tangent. Sheldon and the Hell Hound, or How I Lost My Hot Dogs.Scene:The laundry room.Penny: Oh, um, I, I can come back.Leonard: D-don't be silly.

I would really like it if you came and I would really love it if you could bring... one other person of your choosing. So it doesn't matterif they don't blend? M-mm-mm. And this doesn't have anything to do with the fact that you couldn't find anybody else to come? (Scoffs) No. What? No. I... Youare a very bright, funny person, with a wide range of useful knowledge and the fact that we don't have an ideal number for team style game-play, is not... notwhy I'm here. You're such a liar. And I was bluffing when I said I wasn't coming. I just wanted to see you beg, so...David: Okay.Stevie: I'll put out some feelers,but, you know, such short notice, all the town hotties will have plans. I'll see you tonight! Yeah, thanks.David: Thank you.Stevie: Welcome.Moira: This place isalmost charming. Very rustic cottage. I was half expecting early unibomber.Johnny: Oh, look!

Did you find anything else on theautopsy?Scully: Well, there were no abnormalities in Dr. Sanjay's brain.

Itended up in the auditory cortex. You know... he blurted something out at the meeting, before his suicide. He said, \"Can't anyone hear that?\"Mulder: Hmm.Scully:But nobody else could hear a thing.Mulder: Well, ultimately, hearing is just nerve impulses interpreted by the brain. What if those same impulses could begenerated without actual vibrations striking the ear drum?Scully: Hmm.Mulder: Well, anyway. If he left a note on his hand, maybe he left other clues.Scully: Butwhere? We've checked out every square inch of his apartment.Mulder: Well, he leased a place that only Gupta knew about.

They're the property of the Department ofDefense.Mulder: Well, I've had a look at them. Those files are the medical records of children with grave genetic abnormalities. How those children relate to Dr.Sanjay's suicide is the object of our investigation.Skinner: Well, considering the fact that you just lost access to those files, your investigation is closed. I'll submitthe report on the suicide to the proper authorities. We're done here.Murphy: (clears throat) Let me remind you, Agents Mulder and Scully, dissemination of anyclassified material, either internally or publically, will be dealt with harshly.Mulder: I'm familiar with Edward Snowden.Skinner: I assume you made copies.Mulder:I managed some top sheets before the DoD took over. I think those children are failed experiments.Skinner: So you suspect the Department of Defense isexperimenting with genetic modification on humans? What do you think?Scully: I think there were many troubling details to this case, and, um... if Agent Mulderhas nothing more to add...Mulder: I don't.Scully: .. then I think we need time to prove his theory.Skinner: The bureaucracy in the FBI has become increasinglycomplex and inefficient. It might take days for your incident report and order to close the investigation to make it through the proper channels.

Turns a corner, only to see other torch carrying groups of monks down a couple other branches. Angeluscomes up on a sewer grate. He pulls the center grating loose, steps through, then wedges it back in place behind him. As he turns, he stumbles, tumbles downthe slanting tunnel, crashes through another grate and lands on the floor of some underground chamber lit by torches. He is surrounded by monks withcrossbows aimed at him. A pair of double doors swing open behind him, letting in bright sunlight. Angelus throws himself to the ground out of the direct lightsurrounded by a thin cloud of smoke. A rider brings his horse to a stop just inside the doors and dismounts. One of the monks leads the horse away as the ridermakes his way over to a red robbed priest, while Angelus is picks himself up from the floor.Holtz: \"Mille grazie, Monsignore. Sono nel vostro debito.\"Subtitles:\"Thank you, Monsignor. I am in your debt.\"Monsignor (st): \"No, this animal murdered your family. (Points at Angelus) Hold the beast!\" Chains wrap aroundAngelus upper arms and chest.Holtz steps closer to Angelus: \"Monsignor Rivalli, performed the ceremony when Caroline and I were wed. You rememberCaroline?\"Angelus: \"Pretty lass. Hearty screamer.\"Holtz: \"The good monsignor has since then been excommunicated. The order he founded, Inquisitore, adheresto the old beliefs. They're traditionalists and quite good at their work. Let's get started, shall we?\" Holtz takes a sharp hook and some knives from one of themonks. We see the hook digging into the side of Angelus' neck, hear some cloth ripping.Angelus: \"Ah. Aah!\" We see the sun rise and set while hearing Angelus'screams in the background. The monsignor is walking cross the room, reading a book. Holtz is sitting on a bench, drinking from a cup. We hear some monksrecite in the background and Angelus gasping in pain.Holtz: \"You lost me in North Africa. I knew you'd come back to Europe, but *Rome* Angelus? (Gets up andwalks around Angelus, suspended from the ceiling by chains around his wrists) Why in Gods name would you come to the seat of all that's holy?\"Angelus: \"Darla -she loves the Sistine chapel.\"Holtz: \"Michelangelo?\"Angelus: \"Not him. She's mad about Botticelli's frescos. (Groans) The Temptation of Christ is her favorite -probably because of the leper. (Sighs) What do you want, Holtz?\" Holtz picks up a three-pronged claw and looks at it.Holtz: \"I don't want anything. My family isgone. I don't trust you to give me Darla, although I *will* find her, you know that. My only desire here - is to discover if a thing such as yourself can be made topay for its sins. (Holtz digs the claw-thingy in somewhere below Angelus waist (off screen) and Angelus groans in pain) You're a demon. It is your nature to maimand kill. But you were also once a man. If we beat and burn the demon out of your living flesh, will there be anything left? (Holtz digs the claw in again andAngelus groans in pain) Anything at all? I doubt it. But I'm willing to spend the next fortnight of my life finding out. - In either event - you have no soul, you cannot be saved.\" A flaming arrow streaks across the room and buries itself in one of the monks.Darla: \"Sorry it took me so long darling.\" Darla is standing in atunnel opening, holding a crossbow loaded with another flaming arrow. There are other vampires with her.Darla: \"Kill them.\" Darla fires her flaming bolt, hittingHoltz in the shoulder. The vampires streak past her and attack the monks. Several vampires get staked by the monks during the fight, but that doesn't slow therest of them down. Monsignor confronts Darla with a cross held in front of him.Monsignor: \"Vai' all inferno, demonio lordo! (caption) Go to hell foul demon!\" Darlapushes the cross aside, then sends the Monsignor flying into a wall.Darla: \"No, grazie, padre.\" The double doors that Holtz rode in through is pulled down and ahorse and carriage driven by a blanket shrouded vampire trot in. Darla unclips Angelus chains. Two other vampires catch him under the arms and drop him ontothe back of the cart. Holtz tries to get up. Darla knocks him across the chin, then joins a groaning Angelus on the cart.Angelus: \"Darlin'?\"Darla: \"What?\"Angelus:\"Shouldn't we be killing Holtz?\"Darla: \"I know, but it's just so much fun ruining his life. He's like family now.\" Angelus pulls Darla into a kiss as a vampire coversthem with a tarp. The wagon heads out into the sunlight, with the blanket shrouded vamp at the reins. A public bus (Downtown LA - Hollywood) pulls over to theside of a dark and deserted street in LA.Darla: \"Right here is fine. (To bus driver) Thanks for the lift. That didn't take long at all. (Gets off the bus) And they saythere is no public transportation in LA.\" The bus driver turns slowly and looks towards the back of the bus. Three passengers are slumped in their seats with twinpuncture wounds visible on their necks. Four other people are huddled down in the back of the bus. Bus driver fumbles out his radio: \"Help! We got a code twelveon the 5-8 line! We need help here now, for god's sake. Now!\" Darla walks away across the street.

Angel walks into the training area and sees that there are several vases of them scattered around the room.Angel: \"What'sthis?\"Cordy: \"Oh, it's just so dark and lifeless down here, I thought I'd brighten it up a little for you. (Angel picks up one of the vases) You can't exactly go outand enjoy the sunny fields of nature, but that doesn't mean we can't bring a little bloom into your darkness.\"Angel: \"They're fake.\"Cordy: \"Yeah. You putsomething real in this hellhole and it die (snaps her fingers) like that.\" Angel puts the flowers down, looking at Cordy.Cordy: \"Thank you, Cordelia?\"Angel: \"Youknow, I've been around a long time...\"Cordy: \"Which reminds me. Next birthday, you think we could skip the two-hundred and fifty odd candles on the cake andthe inevitable fire marshal and just go and just go with a little song?\"Angel: \"And I've never known anyone like you.\"Cordy: \"Well, duh! Times a wasting, big guy.Can we do it? (Takes on a stance) Hi-yeah!\"Angel chuckling: \"Okay. Last time we were working on not pulling your punches and your kicks. Right? Don't worryabout me.

You think the end is coming.\" Angel turns back to face her: \"The end is not coming.Someone is always uncovering some ancient scroll, and they're always saying the same thing: that something terrible is coming. Do you know how many of thesethings I've seen in my very long life?\"Cordy: \"Four?\"Angel: \"Three. But there's nothing to worry about.\"Cordy: \"Then way are Gunn and Wesley breaking andentering right now?\"Angel: \"Breaking and entering is such a negative term. They are simply retrieving some missing pieces from the Nyazian Scroll.

Pans past some old oil paintings and statuary to show Wes, dressed in black, sneaking up on the windowand look into the window from outside. Wes motions and Gunn walks up beside him.Wes: \"Step one: Dobermans are happily gnawing on the steak. Alarm and vidlines are disabled (pulls out a scanner and looks at its display) no infrared. Caught a break there. Step two: we cut a hole in the glass, snake in the mini-cam andscan the interior.\" Gunn walks over to look in the glass door while Wes pulls glasscutter with a suction cup out of his duffel bag and attaches it to thewindow.Wes: \"If it's all clear, we disable the locks and bolts on the side door thus completing... (Gunn tries the door and it swings open) ...step three.\" Wescloses up his duffel and moves over to follow Gunn inside, then hurries back to detach the suction cup from the window and stow it in his bag while Gunn waits forhim inside. Wes hurries in and motions for Gunn to close the patio door. They open the doors into an adjacent room, in which all sorts of things are on display.Gunn looks around and whistles.Wes: \"Can you believe this?\"Gunn looking around: \"Some guys collect old cars, some guys collect...\" Gunn flinches back as hespots a misshapen, one-eyed demon head in a glass case. Then he and Wes lean in for a closer look.Gunn: \"It's like - the eye follows you wherever you go.\" Weswalks over to a bottle sitting on a pedestal, pulls out the stopper and takes a sniff before closing it again.Wes: \"Alright. If you were the priceless remnants of thelost Nyazian Scroll, where would you be?\"Gunn: \"If I was priceless - I'd be in the vault.\"Wes: \"The vault? Your snitch never said anything about a vault!\"Gunn: \"Igot a bad feeling about this.\"Wes: \"We figure something out. It's just a - vault.\"Gunn: \"Actually my bad feeling is more about the man standing behind you withthe large revolver.\" Wes turns to see a guy standing in the door aiming a gun at them.Man: \"Move and I'll kill you. The man edges into the room and reaches forthe telephone with one hand while still aiming the gun at them with the other.Wes: \"I hope you're calling the police.\"Man: \"You bet I am.\"Wes: \"Good.

Under the microscope it's virtually indistinguishable from GHB.\" The man slowly puts the receiver backdown.Man: \"Alright. I won't call the police.\"Wes: \"I'm glad we understand each other.\"Man: \"Until after I kill you.\"Wes: \"Oh.\" Gunn picks up four red glass ballsout of a bowl on another stand.Gunn: \"Hey, these worth a lot?\"Man: \"Yes. They're Cyopian conjuring spheres.\"Gunn: \"How much? Four figures each?

Quickly!(They both rush toward one of the passageways and pull to ahalt as they see it is the one that the CHUMBLEY is moving down.)VICKI: Oh, Doctor!DOCTOR: Hurry! Quick!(They turn and flee down another passageway. TheCHUMBLEY enters the central chamber. It pauses and then goes down the passageway taken by the DOCTOR and VICKI.)[SCENE_BREAK]4: INT. THE RILLCENTRE.

This way out. Come on! We'll make it!(They reach the entrance. TheDOCTOR is a little way ahead of VICKI, who turns to look behind her.)[SCENE_BREAK]5: EXT. THE RILL CENTRE(The DOCTOR emerges and turns back to VICKI.As she is about to exit, a heavy iron grill slams down in front of her. She grips the bars frantically and looks out.)DOCTOR: Oh! Ah!VICKI: Oh! Doctor!(TheDOCTOR runs over and examines the bars.)DOCTOR: (Breathlessly) I can't move it! It's immovable! Wait, wait, wait! I have an idea.(The DOCTOR looks aroundand sees the mechanism on the wall he examined before.)DOCTOR: I might be able to sabotage them. Now be patient.(He moves across to the mechanism andtakes out a screwdriver from his pocket. VICKI waits, grasping the bars while looking behind her, expecting the CHUMBLEY at any minute. The DOCTOR quicklyexamines the air-converter unit.)DOCTOR: We know what this machine's for. This is to convert air into ammonia gas.VICKI: (With desperation) Doctor, hurryup!DOCTOR: Yes, now, have patience child.(He starts to take it apart.)DOCTOR: When I've finished with...this machine, I'm sure they will release you.VICKI:Never mind about that, release these bars!DOCTOR: No! No! That's the last thing we do. This is the thing that gives them the gas to breathe with.VICKI: Youdon't know that for certain!DOCTOR: My dear child, the Rills can't go outside. It's a foregone conclusion.(VICKI turns once more and looks down thepassageway.)[SCENE_BREAK]6: INT. THE RILL CENTRE. PASSAGEWAY(Two CHUMBLIES moves along the passageway and reach VICKI. The DOCTOR appears onthe other side of the bars and looks in. The CHUMBLIES make signs just as the one they first met did.)VICKI: (Fearfully.) Doctor! They...I think they...want me togo with them.DOCTOR: Well, I think you... you'd better do what they want, hmm?VICKI: (Nervously.) But Doctor, that thing in there - that thing looking out ofthe window, what...DOCTOR: Yes, that was one of the Rills, I suppose.VICKI: (Softly.) Doctor, I'm so scared.DOCTOR: Now, look, you go with them, quickly, butdon't cause any trouble. It'll give me time to see if I can help you. I think perhaps I can do something with that machine, but I must have time! Hmm? Yes?VICKI:All right. Be quick.DOCTOR: All right, don't worry. Goodbye!(VICKI eyes the CHUMBLEY and moves toward it. The CHUMBLEY backs away. VICKI moves down thepassageway followed by the CHUMBLEY. Another CHUMBLEY moves to meet her, and they nudge her toward the central chamber.)[SCENE_BREAK]7: EXT.

DRAHVIN SPACESHIP(STEVEN is still in the padded corner. He is lying down, apparently asleep.)DRAHVIN TWO: Maaga, shall wego?MAAGA: Where?DRAHVIN TWO: To patrol.MAAGA: I see no need.DRAHVIN TWO: To see what the other two are doing.MAAGA: No.DRAHVIN TWO: But,Maaga...MAAGA: Can you hear me?DRAHVIN TWO: We always go out on patrol at this time.MAAGA: Yes, but not now.(The three DRAHVINS look uneasily at oneanother.)MAAGA: Soldier Drahvins, you can't understand anything that's different, can you? You are made unintelligent, and you remain that way for the rest ofyour lives.(MAAGA turns away and sighs, talking almost to herself.)MAAGA: I told them soldiers were no good for space work. All they can do is kill. But theywouldn't listen. If you are to conquer space, they said, you will need soldiers. So here I am confronted with danger. I'm the only one able to think!(She turns backto the others.)MAAGA: Very well. I am your...commanding officer. I am your controller, am I not?DRAHVIN TWO: Yes, Maaga.MAAGA: And you obey myorders?DRAHVIN TWO: Yes, Maaga.MAAGA: Why?DRAHVIN TWO: Because you are our leader.MAAGA: And?DRAHVIN TWO: You think.MAAGA: And you don'tknow what that means.(The DRAHVINS are silent.)MAAGA: But because I think, I order that there will be no patrol now. We have a prisoner. In order to savehim, the other two must help us.(She looks towards STEVEN.)DRAHVIN ONE: I do not understand why they would want to help a friend.MAAGA: I know youdon't.DRAHVIN ONE: We would not. We would leave him here.MAAGA: Yes... (Laughs.) ...we would. But I have heard of creatures like these. They help oneanother.DRAHVIN THREE: Why, Maaga?MAAGA: I don't know. I have heard, that on occasions, they even die for one another.(The DRAHVINS lookconfused.)DRAHVIN THREE: Die? For their friends?MAAGA: There are many strange things in the universe.DRAHVIN TWO: I do not understand.MAAGA:(Harshly.) I know you don't. But, despite that, you will obey orders!(The three DRAHVINS bow their heads submissively. After a pause, MAAGA speaks softly,almost to herself.)MAAGA: It may be that we shall kill neither the Rills nor these Earth creatures. Not with our own hands, that is. It may be better for us toescape in the Rills' spaceship and leave them here. (Softly excited.) And then...when we are out in space, we can look back. We will see a vast, white, explodingplanet...and know that they have died with it!DRAHVIN ONE: But we will not see them die.MAAGA: (Softly.) You will not! But I, at least, have enough intelligenceto imagine it. The fear...the horror...the shuddering of a planet in its last moments of life! And then they die. (Sighs.) But that is for later.(She turns back to theDRAHVINS and issues instructions to them each, in turn.)MAAGA: Attention! (To DRAHVIN TWO.) You will rest. (To DRAHVIN THREE.) You will guard the prisoner.(To DRAHVIN ONE.) You will go out and look for the Earth creatures. Open the door.(DRAHVIN THREE moves round the table, picking up her gun as she does so.She crosses to a chair near STEVEN and sits down, the gun across her lap. DRAHVIN TWO goes into the inner room whilst ONE goes outside. MAAGA goes overand looks down at STEVEN.)DRAHVIN ONE: He sleeps.MAAGA: But you will not! He must not move!(MAAGA goes into the inner room. As she does so, STEVENopens his eyes slightly and squints up at DRAHVIN THREE, who is staring straight ahead.)[SCENE_BREAK]9: INT. THE RILL CENTRE. CENTRAL CHAMBER(ACHUMBLEY backs in followed by VICKI. She searches about her and looks nervously at the place where she saw the watching eyes. The shutter on the door isclosed. Another CHUMBLEY comes out of the passageway. The two CHUMBLIES chatter to themselves for a moment, then, from the CHUMBLEY facing VICKI,comes a high-pitched sound. VICKI stares at it blankly. It stops, twitters at her once or twice more, then falls silent. The CHUMBLEY behind VICKI nudges her.She puts up with this for a few moments then angrily reacts.)VICKI: Oh, stop doing that! What do you want, anyway?(At once, a series of varying sounds comesfrom the CHUMBLEY, which resolve into a repeat of VICKI'S question speeded up, then repeated but slower, over and over again...)RILL VOICE: What do youwant anyway? What do you want anyway? What do you want anyway? What do you want anyway?(Finally, the statement comes out of the CHUMBLEY at anormal rate in a deep sonorous male voice.)RILL VOICE: What do you want anyway?(Then from the CHUMBLEY, as though it has now deciphered VICKI'S words,comes intelligible speech.)RILL VOICE: We are sorry to separate you from your friend, but it was necessary.(VICKI is surprised. She jumps as the shutter in frontof the glass slides open. The eyes can be seen looking through at her and they are attached to a tusked creature which is wreathed in smoke. VICKI looks fromthe window to the CHUMBLEY.)VICKI: (Fearfully.) Who are you?RILL VOICE: Who are you?VICKI: (Fearfully.) We're, er...we're time travellers. From the planetEarth.RILL VOICE: (Suspiciously.) I see. You were sent here by the Drahvins?VICKI: Yes.RILL VOICE: (Threateningly.) To do us harm?VICKI: (Fearfully.) No! No,you see...the Drahvins are...keeping a friend of ours...prisoner. So, we had to do as they said.RILL VOICE: What was that?VICKI: (Reluctantly.) To capture yourspaceship.RILL VOICE: Why do they want to capture it? We have offered to take them with us.VICKI: They didn't tell us that!RILL VOICE: No. They would not.They would rather kill. They hate us.VICKI: Well, you did kill one of them.RILL VOICE: (Shouts.) We kill no one!VICKI: But they...(VICKI suddenly gathers hercourage.)VICKI: Look, who is talking? Is it...is it this Chumbley, or is it...(She looks toward the open shutter.)VICKI: ...someone else?RILL VOICE: You call themachines Chumblies?VICKI: Yes.RILL VOICE: The Chumblies have a speaker in them. They are transmitting our thoughts.VICKI: Your... your thoughts?RILLVOICE: We do not speak like you. We have no vocal chords. We communicate in thought.VICKI: Who are you?RILL VOICE: We are the Rills.VICKI: Why can't Isee you?RILL VOICE: It is better that you do not. Not all the dominant species in the universe look like humans. Our appearance might shock you as it shockedthe Drahvins.[SCENE_BREAK]10: EXT. THE RILL CENTRE(The DOCTOR has now removed some of the top plates from the air converter and is peering in. He ishard at work with his screwdriver.)DOCTOR: Hmm![SCENE_BREAK]11: INT. THE RILL CENTRE. CENTRAL CHAMBERVICKI: (Firmly.) The Drahvins said that youattacked them.RILL VOICE: That is short of the truth. We were investigating outer space when we encountered a strange ship. Rills do not attack or kill withoutgood reason, so we stopped our ship. Their ship also stopped. We hung in space facing each other. We could have turned and gone away, but we were afraid thatwe would be attacked.VICKI: Yes, what happened?RILL VOICE: For four dawns we hung there. Then we decided to turn. As we were doing so the Drahvins fired.Immediately we did the same, and both ships crashed. When we escaped from our ship we discovered that we could not breathe the atmosphere here, but we"}

Because you didn't make a pact with Darkness, right?Piper: And as far as we know, you don't have a razor-sharptongue. Here's a spell to attract the Succubus and destroy it with fire.Phoebe: (reading the book) \"A flaming death for yours truly\"? I don't think so.Prue: Well, wehave to catch this thing, right?

Anyways, at my graduation, when I got mydiploma, and I was walking back to my chair, I look up to my parents, and they're sitting in the bleachers and, uh, they're not looking at me, they're fighting. Youknow, I don't even know if they saw me graduate. And, uh, all of a sudden I see my dad, he storms off away from my mom, and he goes up to the top of thebleachers. He says that he must've leaned against a railing that was loose because, uh, he ended up falling on to the cement, 30 feet.- Ira: What?!- Yara: Yeah,and he lived! He lived. He lived. Um, and my mom, who I felt like had completely given up on my dad, uh, she made the choice to nurse him back to recovery. -And, uh... and they remarried.- Woman: Oh wow, that's crazy.- Ira: Wait. That made them fall in love again? - Yeah. Yeah. - No! - Wow. - It had a happyending.- Woman: Yeah. - I like a happy ending. - Aw.Ira: Would they talk about it like on tape? - Do you think they would tell the story? - Yeah. - Sure, yeah.-Ira: Sold. Movin' on.Yara: Yeah, Dad, this is really exciting. It's a really big deal for me. It's my first story on the radio.Yara's Dad (over phone): Oh, what is it?Well, I wanna tell the story about when you fell off the bleachers.Yara's Dad: I don't think that's a good idea.Yara: Dad doesn't wanna talk. He asks me to talk toMom before talking to him, which leads me to believe that Mom has some information that I don't. - Maybe there's some...- Woman: We have to go! - (couplearguing) - Just, I... Stop! Stop. I really like the happy ending, period. So is this a story about how vulnerability opens us up to love, question mark. Or is it aboutaccepting, accepting people warts and all? - (keyboard clacking) - (Yara muttering) Mami, it's a really beautiful story.Yara's Mom (over phone): That's a verypainful time of my life, mija, and I don't wanna go there. Listen, I'm happy for you - but I like my privacy and respect that, okay? -(door buzzes)Yara: Please, canyou just think about it?Yara's Mom (over phone): The answer is no. I'm sorry. All right. I gotta go, I gotta go. He's here.Yara's Mom: Okay. Give Owen a kiss forme. - Have fun. - Okay. Bye. - Hi, Smoothie! - Hey, Smoothie. - How was your flight? - Good. - Ah. Thank you for these. - Yeah. - They're like five bucks a popout here. - Oh, my God. - Your place is really coming together.- Yara: Thanks, Smoothie. Oh, my God, I gotta tell you the coolest thing happened at work today.Oh, hey. Happy anniversary. Happy anniversary, Smoothie. - (Owen moaning)- Yara: Okay. Aah.(bed squeaking)Owen (panting): All right.- (Yara sighs)- Owen:Woo.(sighs)Oh, I think my mom regrets remarrying my dad. What makes you say that? Something she said on the phone. You need anything, Smoothie? Nah,I'm good, Smoothie. - How are we gonna celebrate tonight, dinner? - Sure. I don't want to get dressed up though. I'm fine with whatever you want. Uh... youwant to just get stoned and order in? Sounds very romantic. Cool. I'll text him. Honestly, I didn't even like the, the prequel. But I'm saying, if you're gonna, like,do that franchise, you should probably f*ckin' step it up. [\u0000\u0000] You're kind of heavy. You know that? Whew! How are you back there? Comfy? This isBushwick.[\u0000\u0000] (both howling)- Yara: Are you finished yet?- Owen: So many questions.\"I enjoy feeling like a prey hunted by a predator\"? What the f*ck is that?-Yara: (laughs) It's a thing. Don't knock it. - I don't get it. Uh, I think I'm done. - Uh, I am...- Yara: I can't wait for this. ...99 percent vanilla. - Mm-hmm. -Ninety-five percent daddy-mommy?- Yara: Okay, Daddy. - (both laugh) And 95 percent rope bunny. Elna got rope bunny too. - What about you? - (door buzzes)A hundred percent hunter-prey.- Owen: Really? - Mm-hmm. - Hello?- The Guy (over intercom): Hi. I got a dog with me, but she's nice. Is it okay? Oh yeah, sure!Bring her in. That's fine.- Owen: Really? - What? It's just a dog. This is why I go to dispensaries. - (dog barks)- Both: Hey. Oh, sorry about that. - Hey. Relax. -(dog barks)Yara: Hi. No, it's okay. Hi baby! What happened to her eye?The Guy: I don't know. She just started following me, - and then, uh... I don't know, I gotAnnie'd.- Yara: Aw. I got same old... indica, sativa, cartridges, edibles, all of which you like. I want a dog so bad. - Since when do you want a dog?- Yara: Sincealways! I've seriously been thinking about it.Owen: Yeah, but you work all the time, and this place is way too small for a dog. Oh, wait, you think I'd be a bad dogowner? No. I'm not saying that. I'm just saying that it's a cute dog and now you're having pet FOMO. - Fear of Missing Ohho. - (Owen laughs) - You like that?-Owen: Yeah, that's a good one.- The Guy: It's a terrible joke. - (Yara laughs) Um, do you have any, like, beef jerky or anything like that? I mean, it's highlyprocessed. I don't think, like, - it's good for a dog. - Right. Right. Cool. Cool. Cool.- Owen: Right. - Cool, cool, cool... Okay, a hundred and twenty.Owen: I knowI'm terrible at gifts, but I think this time, I... - nailed it. - (Yara chuckles) - Happy anniversary. Yep. - Mm-hmm. - Hey, I'll be the judge of that. - Yeah? I saw itand it totally reminded me of you, so. What's wrong? What?(laughs)What's wrong? - Oops. - Oh...(laughs)Is this why it reminded you of me? You're f*ckingkidding me?(both laughing)Actually, it's a really funny story. I'm sorry. Well, I'll take care of it. - What? - I'll take care of it. Take care of it... f*ck. - f*ck. Hold on.- What? No, I'm-I'm sorry. I'm just having like a... like a stoner moment. Um... Okay. Can I, can I tell you? - Uh...- Owen: Yeah. All right. So my-my mom... shedidn't have a choice, she had to take care of my dad because she's a woman, and she's supposed to be a caretaker. And if she didn't do it, then he would havebeen pissed at her, and then I would have been pissed at her too, and everyone would have been pissed at her. I mean, everyone may have been pissed for like alittle bit, but... No, no, no, no. Still... Listen. It makes total sense. If I take care of you, then no one will be mad at me. I'm... I mean, that's... I don't think that'show it is anymore, though... Owen, come on, please. That's how it is for women. You don't know how it is. Yeah. But, I mean, you and your mom are like... twototally different people. It's different times and... Yeah, but I was literally conditioned, my whole life, to believe that my purpose was to nurture and support ahusband. And the only way that I could justify not doing that was by... working really hard and making something really important. And so, I became thisworkaholic. And I'm pretty much the same as my mom then. Like, like, I have to... I have to do something so that people will love me. No, I mean, you don'thave to do anything for anyone to love you. I love you, Smoothie. Well, yeah, I know. I know, and that is totally on purpose like... God, you are... You are nothinglike... I mean, you don't even need me to take care of you, like... You're literally in nursing school, you're a natural caretaker. And your-your ambitions... Your"}

Frasier and Niles are sat chatting.Niles: Oh, I got your message about the wine club, Friday night, and yes, I willbe there.Frasier: Oh, good, Dad's kicking me out of the house that night so he and Sherry can have a little party. [laughs] Oh, I don't know. Life really is a circle,isn't it? I'm letting Dad use my place for his friends to get together, and just a few years ago it would have been Dad who'd have to leave his house for myparties.Niles: Yes, if you'd had any parties when we were young that would be filled with irony!Daphne enters and sits with them.Daphne: Thank goodness you'rehere, I've got some rather shocking news.Niles: What is it?Daphne: I found a ring in your father's underwear drawer.Frasier: [shocked] What on earth wouldleave a ring around his underwear drawer?Daphne: Not around, in! An engagement ring in a jewelry box.Niles: An engagement ring? Dad must be about to askSherry to marry him. Do you know what that means?Frasier: Yes, we're going to hear what Mendelssohn's \"Wedding March\" sounds like on [in horror] thebanjo!Niles: It means she's going to be our mother. What are we going to do?Frasier: Well, there's nothing we can do, Niles. It's what Dad wants.Niles: But...what do we even call her?Frasier: Well, I suppose she'll want us to call her \"mother.\" No, that's too formal. \"Mama\"... no, \"Ma!\"Niles: [in dread] Ooh, better still.\"Don't you look nice, Ma.\" \"Yes, I'd love another corn dog, Ma.\" \"Off to the roller derby, Ma'?\"Daphne: That's typical of you two. Your father is about to getmarried and all you two can think about is how it will affect you. [pause] What about me?!Frasier: What about you?Daphne: Sherry's never exactly liked me. Youdon't think she'll try to make your father get rid of me, do you?Frasier: Oh, Daphne, of course not. He'd be lost without you.Niles: Yes, and even if by somechance that were to happen, Daphne, I could always use you. [realizing innuendo] I, I would know of a position you could take... [digging into a hole] ...servicesthat you could perform. [holds himself, then:] I would know of an opening... [realizes the path he has taken and takes up the check] This is on me.Daphne nodsat him in confusion.[SCENE_BREAK]Scene Two - Frasier's Apartment. Niles and Frasier are sat on the sofa as Sherry and Martin prepare for their party.Sherry:Marty, you need to stir the dip more, it's got whole lumps of soup mix in it.Martin: Sorry.Frasier: My, my, my, quite a little shindig you two are planning fortonight. We have the cheese logs, the erotic fortune cookies. For after dinner, a bloopers tape: \"Too Hot For Hee-Haw.\"Niles: I see that Martha Stewart partybook I gave you really paid off.Sherry: Oh, this old crowd, they wouldn't go for that fru-fru stuff. Get 'em liquored up, put out some corn nuts and they can go allnight.Frasier: When you say all night-?Martin: [finishes stirring] There you go, smooth as silk.Sherry: [kisses him] Thank you.Niles: Who's going to be attendingthis soirée?Sherry: Oh, just some old friends I'm dying for Marty to meet. Now, let's see, there's Ray and Lola Sherwood - well, I worked with them in AtlanticCity when they had a knife-throwing act. Oh, now, Marty, try not to stare at her eyes, she gets self-conscious. And, let's see. Oh, and Edith's coming with her newfiancé.Martin: Oh, she finally met him, huh?Sherry: Mm, just this week.Niles: They're engaged and they just met this weekend?Sherry: Well, you see, up untilnow, it's been kind of a pen-pal relationship. He's been... detained the last few years.Frasier: Well, you know, you're going to need some room for those cornnuts, why don't I just get this pesky priceless sculpture out of your way!Frasier hurriedly removes the Chihuly to his room.[N.B. Since the Chihuly is a genuinework of art, valued at upwards of $75,000, it is always removed from the set before any scene that involves rough-housing in the living room.]Sherry: Marty, Inever heard back from Vic and Linda, did you get a message?Martin: No.Sherry: Oh, gee, maybe they left one on my machine.Sherry phones through to hermachine.Martin: So, what are you guys up to tonight?Niles has just read one of the fortune cookies, and is gaping when he suddenly realizes Martin'squestion.Niles: Em, our wine club is having a vertical tasting at the \"Opus One.\"Martin: Oh, well, don't drink too much.Niles: [laughs] It's not like that, Dad, youdon't actually drink the wine. You just swish it around and spit it out.Martin: We all did that at Duke's New Year's Eve party. Of course, it wasn't wine, it was eggsalad!Frasier enters as Sherry hangs up.Sherry: You know, that is so weird. I just got a message from my manager down at McGinty's. Some guy came in askinga lot of questions about me.Martin: What kind of questions?Sherry: Well, like where I used to work, the people I used to date, and the weirdest part is, myneighbor told me somebody came around asking her about me too.Martin: Sounds like somebody's checking up on ya'.Sherry: Like a detective?Martin: Oh no, it'sprobably a credit card company, something like that, I wouldn't worry about it.Martin gets up from the table and casually walks toward Frasier and Niles, asSherry goes into the kitchen.Sherry: Well, still, it is a little scary. I wish I knew who it was.Martin: Oh, forget about it, I've been through this before. Privateinvestigators never leave a trail. Really, it could be anyone.Sherry: If you think so.Once she's into the kitchen, Martin rounds on Frasier and Niles.Martin:[whispering furiously] Which one of you hired him?!Frasier: Well, that is just crazy!Martin: Oh, come on, who else would have the money to do something likethat?Frasier: I have no idea, we have nothing to do with it. Do you really think that we would hire someone to spy on Sherry? My God, I'm insulted!Niles: As amI!Martin: Well, all right. Maybe I was jumping to the wrong conclusion.Frasier: You most certainly have!Martin: I'm sorry, boys.Frasier: It's all right, Dad.Niles:Just forget about it.Martin exits to the kitchen. Frasier rounds on Niles.Frasier: [whispering furiously] You hired a detective, how could you?!Niles: I have neverbeen so insul-!Frasier: Niles!Niles: Okay, I'm sorry. I was just looking out for Dad here. I mean, what do we really know about this woman?Frasier: She makesDad happy, that's all we need to know.Niles: Is it? Some people do get married before they know all they should. Remember Cousin Donald? He was married twoyears before he found out his wife used to be a man.Frasier: Yes, well, Cousin Donald is a very rare case. First, most people don't have a hidden past; andsecond, most people have a better eye for details than Cousin Donald. For God's sake, the woman could pick up a watermelon with one hand!Niles: I was justsimply trying to get some background information.Frasier: Well, stop it. Call it off right now, Niles.Niles: Consider it done.Frasier: All right.Niles: We gottarun.Frasier: Yeah. [shouts through] Goodbye.Martin: [o.s] Bye, boys.Sherry: [o.s] Have a nice time you two, we'll save you some cake.Frasier: Thank you. [toNiles] You see that, how sweet she is? My God, I can't believe you're actually having that woman investigated. You know, try to have a little trust inpeople!Frasier quickly takes one of his precious African art sculptures from the table and into his jacket for safety before leaving with Niles.[SCENE_BREAK]SceneThree - Café Nervosa. Roz enters as she meets Frasier. Niles is sat on a front table discussing matters with a detective.Roz: You see someone followingme?Frasier: Yes, you can play along now.A female police officer enters as Roz and Frasier sit. The officer has a rather large stomach.Police: Ah, excuse me,ma'am, I saw you cross against the light. I'm going to have to write you a ticket.Roz: [winded voice] Oh, well, I'm really sorry about that. It's just that it's so coldout there and the pollution, I just didn't want to expose my unborn child to the elements any longer than I needed to. [Roz stands revealing her bump]Police:You're pregnant? Well, I know a little bit about that myself.Roz: Then you know exactly what I'm talking about. Society doesn't go easy on pregnant ladies, doesit? [pats officer's \"bump\"] So, when are you due?Police: I'm not pregnant!Roz: [submitting] That's Roz Doyle.Police: Would you step over here?Roz:R-O-Z.Frasier goes to Niles and the detective.Frasier: Hello, Niles.Niles: Oh, hello, Frasier. May I borrow your pen?Frasier: Certainly. [hands it over as he shakesthe detective's hand] How do you do?Niles: [writes check] I appreciate all your hard work and I am sorry to have to break off the investigation in themiddle.Detective: That's all right, people change their minds all the time.Niles: I'm sure they do. [hands it over] There you are.Detective: Thank you.Thedetective leaves.Frasier: There now, don't you feel better?Niles: I suppose so.Frasier: You have to admit, I was right on this one. There was absolutely nojustification for giving into your baser instincts of prying in Sherry's past.The detective comes back.Detective: I almost forgot. I wrote up a little report on what Ifound out so far. That's one interesting lady.He hands them a brown envelope and exits.Niles: Well, I should have just told him to drop that in the trash. After all,we're concerned with Dad's happiness. Sometimes, Frasier, you are like the beacon piercing the fog of my baser instincts. [to waitress] Excuse me, would youjust drop that in the...Frasier snatches it off of him as she disperses.Frasier: I see your point. [opens the envelope] I hate myself for what I'm doing.Niles:Frasier, we're doing it for Dad's own good.Frasier: [reads document] Oh, so far, so good: graduated from high school; almost paid off her Subaru; you know she'sbeen married.Niles: Yes, she mentioned that, to Johnny Dempsey.Frasier: There were two others. Ned Foley, Mark Wallace...Niles: That's a bit troubling, threeprevious marriages.Frasier: ...Vincent Mayhew, Guiltham Mandel, Waltz...Niles: Just give me the total!Frasier: Six that we know of. God, you had to go and firethat detective before he finishes reporting!Niles: Six? [reads them]Frasier: Yes, she's obviously incapable of remaining in a relationship. That doesn't bode wellfor the marriage, does it?Niles: And on the other hand, it does bode well for Dad getting a \"yes\" when he proposes. He has a right to know about this.Frasier: Butwe already told him we weren't involved in the investigation, we can't just tell him now we were lying!Niles: Maybe there's some way to impart the informationwithout explaining how we came by it. You know, just sort of drop it casually in the conversation.Frasier: And how would that go? [deadpan:] Oh, Dad, you goingto the Sherry Ex-Husband Convention this year? Besides that, you know, Dad may know everything already.Niles: I think we need to find that out. How would wefeel if we let Dad marry this woman, and in a year's time he's tossed aside like Danny Mitchell.Frasier: Who's that?Niles: Page five, engaged but nevermarried.[SCENE_BREAK]End of Act One[SCENE_BREAK]Act TwoScene One - Frasier's Apartment.

I'll forgive you thistime.(BARBARA walks up to the bench and sits.)BARBARA: Oh, I've had a terrible day. I don't know what to make of it.IAN: Oh? What's the trouble? Can Ihelp?BARBARA: Oh, it's one of the girls: Susan Foreman.IAN: Susan Foreman? Oh ho. She your problem too?BARBARA: Yes.IAN: And you don't know what tomake of her?BARBARA: No.IAN: How old is she, Barbara?BARBARA: fifteenIAN: Fifteen...she lets her knowledge out a bit at a time, so as not to embarrass me:that's what I feel about her. She knows more science than I'll ever know. She's a genius! Is that what she's doing with history?BARBARA: Something likethat.IAN: So, your problem is whether to stay in business or hand over the class to her.BARBARA: No, not quite.IAN: (Laughs.) what then?BARBARA: Ian, I musttalk to someone about this, but I don't want the girl to get into trouble. And I know you're going to tell me I'm imagining things.IAN: No, I'm not.BARBARA: Well,I told you how good she is at history. I had a talk with her, and I told her she ought to specialise. Well, she seemed quite interested 'till I said I'd be willing towork with her at her home. Then she said that would be \"absolutely impossible\" as her grandfather didn't like strangers.IAN: (Getting up and walking around to asink.) He's a doctor, isn't he? It's a bit of a lame excuse.BARBARA: Well, I didn't pursue the point. But then recently, her homework's been so bad.IAN: (Washinghis hands.) Yes, I know.BARBARA: Finally, I was so irritated with all her excuses, I decided to have a talk with this grandfather of hers and tell him to take someinterest in her.IAN: Oh, did you indeed? And what's the old boy like?BARBARA: Well, that's just it. I got her address from the secretary - 76 Totters Lane - and Iwent along there one evening.(IAN finishes washing his hands.)BARBARA: Oh Ian, do pay attention!(He walks across the room to dry his hands.)IAN: Sorry. Youwent along there one evening...BARBARA: Well, there isn't anything there. It's just an old junkyard.IAN: Well, you must've gone to the wrong place.BARBARA:Well that's the address the secretary gave me.IAN: Well the secretary got it wrong then...BARBARA: No. I checked. There's a big wall on one side, houses on theother, and nothing in the middle. And this 'nothing in the middle' is No. 76 Totters Lane!IAN: Mmm...that's a bit of mystery. Well, there must be a simple answersomewhere.BARBARA: Well, what?IAN: (Grins.) Well, we'll have to find out for ourselves, won't we?BARBARA: (Grins.) Thank you for the \"we\".

What do we do? Ask her point blank?BARBARA: No. I thought we could drive there, wait 'till she arrivesand see where she goes.IAN: (Puts his coat on.)

CLASSROOM(15-year old SUSAN FOREMAN - the subject of the teacher's conversation - is listening to a littlepocket radio, putting it up to her ear. She's a slim beauty with elfin features, unusually short dark hair and unusual eyes. She dances strangely to the music bymaking abrupt movements with her right hand and fake strumming a guitar. Behind her, IAN and BARBARA walk in. She's oblivious to them. Both smile withamusement.)BARBARA: Susan?SUSAN: (Putting down the radio.) Oh, I-I'm sorry, Miss Wright! I didn't hear you coming in. Aren't they fabulous?BARBARA:Who?SUSAN: I-It's John Smith and the Common Men. They've gone from 19 to 2.BARBARA: (Not understanding a bit of it.) Hmm. (She looks puzzled.)IAN:(Laughing.) \"John Smith\" is the stage name of the honourable Aubrey Waites. He started his career as Chris Waites and the Carollers, didn't he, Susan?SUSAN:You are surprising, Mr. Chesterton. I wouldn't expect you to know things like that.IAN: I have an enquiring mind...(Motions to the loud radio.) and a verysensitive ear.SUSAN: Oh, (Turning the radio off, slightly flustered.) I'm sorry.IAN: Thank you.SUSAN: (Noticing the book that BARBARA is holding.) Is that thebook you promised me?BARBARA: (Hands it over.) Yes.SUSAN: Thank you very much. It will be interesting...I'll return it tomorrow.BARBARA: Oh, that's notnecessary. Keep it until you've finished it.SUSAN: (She picks up her school bag.) I'll have finished it.(IAN and BARBARA glance at each other in surprise.)IAN: Oh,where do you live, Susan? I'm giving Miss Wright a lift. I've room for one more.SUSAN: Er...no thank you, Mr. Chesterton. Er...I like walking through the dark.It's mysterious.BARBARA: Be careful, Susan. There'll probably be fog again tonight.SUSAN: (Arranging things in her school bag.) Hmm.BARBARA: See you in themorning.SUSAN: I expect so. Good night.BARBARA: Good night.IAN: Good night, Susan.(IAN and BARBARA leave the room. SUSAN looks behind her at theclosing door then picks up her book - \"The French Revolution,\" and starts to read a page at random. A moment later, she blinks at the book, startled.)SUSAN:That's not right...![SCENE_BREAK]5: EXT. TOTTERS LANE. (NIGHT)(IAN and BARBARA are in his car as it arrives in Totters Lane.)BARBARA: Over there!(The carcomes to a stop before the old wooden gate to the junkyard. The two teachers remain in the vehicle.)IAN: Lucky there was no fog. I'd never have foundthis.BARBARA: Well, she doesn't seem to have arrived yet. (She pauses nervously.) I suppose we are doing the right thing, aren't we?IAN: You can't justifycuriosity.BARBARA: But her homework...IAN: Bit of an excuse, really, isn't it? I've seen far worse. The truth is, we're both curious about Susan, and we won't behappy until we know some of the answers.BARBARA: Well, you can't just pass it off like that. If I thought I was just being a busybody, I'd go straight home! Ithought you agreed she was a bit of a mystery!IAN: Yes, but I think you'll find there's a very simple explanation to all this.BARBARA: Well, I don't know how youexplain the fact that a teenage girl does not know how many shillings there are in a pound.IAN: (Surprised.) Really?BARBARA: Really! She said she thought wewere on the decimal system.IAN: The decimal system?[SCENE_BREAK]6: INT. COAL HILL SCHOOL. BARBARA 'S CLASSROOM (FLASHBACK)(The whole ofBARBARA'S history class is laughing at SUSAN'S naiveté. A visibly stung SUSAN turns her back on the other students and stares directly at BARBARA - the sceneis seen from her point of view.)SUSAN: I'm sorry, Miss Wright.BARBARA: (OOV: Cross.) Don't be silly, Susan. The United States has a decimal system. You knowperfectly well that we do not.SUSAN: (In a shock of understanding.) Of course - the decimal system hasn't started yet![SCENE_BREAK]7: EXT. TOTTERS LANE.(CONTINUED)(IAN rubs his chin in thought.)IAN: I suppose she couldn't be a foreigner...no, it doesn't make sense! Nothing about this girl makes sense. Forinstance, just the other day, I was talking about chemical changes. I'd given out the litmus paper to show cause and effect...BARBARA: ...and she knew theanswer before you'd started.IAN: Well, not quite. The answer simply didn't interest her...[SCENE_BREAK]8: INT. COAL HILL SCHOOL.

They only act in relation toeach other.IAN: (OOV, Exasperated.) But that's the whole point of the experiment, Susan.SUSAN: Yes, it's a bit obvious, isn't it? Well, I-I'm not trying to be rude,but...couldn't we deal with two active chemicals? Then red could turn blue all by itself and we could get on with something else.(Her expression turns sheepish asshe glances at her fellow pupils and she speaks more quietly.)SUSAN: I'm sorry.

Then what do you need E for? What do you make the fifth dimension?SUSAN:(Quietly and somewhat mysteriously.) Space...[SCENE_BREAK]11: EXT. TOTTERS LANE.

I could eat something.\"Angel: \"Go ahead.\" After a beat Oz turns andfollows the others. Angel keeps looking at the ring. Finally sticks it in his pocket and goes down in the sewers.

Is there some kind of trick to this ?\" Cordelia, taking thebottle from him: \"I think the trick is laying of the ale (pulls out the cotton wad out of the bottle and shakes some pills into her hand) before you start quotingAngela's Ashes and weeping like a baby man.\" Doyle, accepting the pills and washing them down: \"Hey, that's a good book.\"Cordelia: \"So I've heard.

The gem of Amarra stays with me.\" Spike swings at Angel with the board. Angel catches it, hits Spike across the chin, in thestomach, then kicks him to the floor. Spike slowly getting back up, board in hand: \"Why ? Because you are vampire detective now ? What's next ? Vampirecowboy ? Vampire fireman ? Oh, vampire ballerina.\" He charges Angel with the beam.Angel: \"I do like to work with my legs.\" He grabs an overhead pipe andswings both feet into Spike's chest. Spike quickly picks himself back up and keeps stabbing at Angel with the beam, while Angel dances around him like a boxer,dodging the board. Spike tries to pin him onto the hood of the car but Angel kicks him off, taking the beam a way form him in the process. Angel, twirling thebeam in his hands: \"We duke it out, huh ?

Well, I guess now that they've set a date, I'll be getting my bridesmaid draftnotice.Frasier: You know Roz, she might not even ask you.Roz: [positive] Oh, she'll ask me. They all do. The next thing I know I'm wearing some revoltingpuffy-sleeved dress made from the same material that keeps the space shuttle from burning up on re-entry.Frasier: You know, Roz, Daphne might just surpriseyou and pick a dress you like.Roz: Oh, impossible. They're always ugly; that's why the bride makes sure she's the prettiest one at the wedding.Frasier: That'sawfully cynical.Roz: Oh yeah, when was the last time you found yourself staring at the bridesmaid instead of the bride? [signals to the waitress]Frasier: Thatwould have been at my wedding to Lilith.Roz, not getting the attention of the waitress, heads over to the counter. Then Niles enters and sits with hisbrother.Niles: Hello Frasier.Frasier: Oh, Niles.Niles: Frasier, do you remember the time the Kreizel brothers tied me to their Great Dane and lobbed meatballsdown their gravel driveway?Frasier: I've told you Niles, I would have helped you, but their sister was holding me down.Niles: No, my point is - [to waitress]Cappuccino, please [to Frasier] - even that experience was less painful than the date I was just on. She was... [takes a cat hair from his jacket and puts it on thefloor] ...a cat person. She brought her cat on our date. Well, she had good reason, it was Mr. Waggles's birthday. Actually his birthday party. Actually, his surprisebirthday party.Frasier: I'm sorry, where on earth did you meet this woman?Niles: At Nordstroms. We both reached for the same cashmere throw and she said sheneeded something to keep her waggles warm. I thought it was a coy euphemism.

Do you recall, the other day at the health club, Tony Hubner gave me that phone number?Frasier: Dear God, Niles, not adating service?Niles: No, it's not a dating service. An \"Introduction Network\" for busy professionals. I've given them my vital statistics, there's an extensivescreening process, they bill me at the end of the month.Frasier: Niles, please. They are all money-grubbing con-artists who prey on the pathetic and the lonely.God's sakes, you sign up with visions of some Ph.D., and what do they deliver? A buck-toothed librarian who needs help washing her mother! Are you really thatdesperate?Niles: Half an hour ago, I had my back leg tethered to Mr. Waggles's forepaw and we came in third in the five-legged race.Frasier: Geez, you'd thinkthey'd let him win on his birthday.[SCENE_BREAK]Scene Two - Frasier's Apartment.

I've got to run now, cheery bye.[hangs up] That was mum, she had a thought about the salad.Frasier: Something tells me yesterday's crouton skirmish wasn't the end of it.Daphne: I supposeshe can be a bit overbearing. But as she often points out, she is paying for the wedding and I am her only daughter and giving birth to me was so painful she didbite through a kitchen spoon.Frasier: Daphne, just don't let you mother guilt you into having the wedding she wants instead of the wedding you want.Daphne:Oh, don't worry, mum already promised me I could have the wedding I want, as soon as I have a daughter who gets engaged.Daphne exits to her bedroom.Frasier enters the kitchen where he finds Martin with a box of jerky.Frasier: Hiya, Dad.Martin: Oh, Fras. You'll love this stuff I got from the farmer's market. Thisguy takes the juiciest cut of filet mignon, slices it real thin and makes jerky out of it.Frasier: Look Dad, I don't...Martin throws it into his mouth, you can tell he isdisgusted.Frasier: Yes, if only I had a nice powdered Cabernet to go with it. Listen, have you given any thought to Daphne's wedding present?Martin: NowFrasier, not everyone likes jerky as much as you and me.Frasier: No, I just want to get her something special, especially since her mother seems to be taking allthe joy out of it for her.Martin: Oh, well, how about a nice piece of luggage? You know, a good hard suitcase, like the kind people used to put stickers on to showeverybody where they've been. Remember your grandad's? His whole life was on it: Topeka, Sioux Falls, Biloxi... it was like a map of the world.Frasier: What aloss to us all that he failed to write his memoirs. I'm thinking of something that would matter to Daphne. [hiccups] Oh, something that shows her how we feel.[hiccups] Good Lord, that's a little spicy, isn't it? [gets a bottle of water from fridge] You know, maybe we should get something for her wedding.Martin: Likewhat?Frasier: Well, I don't know, her flowers, say? That's it, we could offer to pay for her wedding flowers.Martin: That's a bit pricy, isn't it?Frasier: Well don'tworry about it, Dad. [hiccups] You just donate what you can and I'll pay for the rest. [hiccups] God, what was in that jerky?Martin: Well, you just ate it too fast.Next time you have to savor it a little.Frasier: Dad, I'm never going to taste that vile stuff again. [hiccups] Oh, spoke too soon.Frasier enters the room to findDaphne.Frasier: Daphne, may I have a word with you, please?Daphne: What is it, Dr. Crane?Frasier: Well, it's about you wedding gift.

The doorbell sounds.Daphne: [o.s] Could someone let Donny in?Martin: Well look, Donny's a very traditional guy. He's not going to letus pay for his wedding.Frasier: Right, you saw how he proposed to her; on bended knee. He's nothing but a hopeless romantic.And so Frasier opens the door tohear Donny on the phone saying:Donny: Any idiot knows you've got to pay a hooker in cash! I'm at a meeting, I'll call you later, bye. [hangs up and greets therest] I've got this client, he's in the middle of a divorce, right, and his wife finds all these charges from this place called \"Executive Match.\" It turns out to be a callgirl service. When she gets through with him she'll have his house, his car, she'd have his beach house too if I hadn't already taken it. Women!Then Daphnebursts in and hugs Donny, still excited.Donny: Hi, honey.Daphne: Hi sweetie. [kisses him] Have they told you yet?Donny: Told me what?Daphne: You're notgoing to believe this, but Dr. Crane and his father have offered to pay for our entire wedding.Donny: [takes it in] Is this a joke?Frasier: It could be.Donny: Imean, it's one thing for us to let your family pay, they're your parents, it's traditional. But this is...Frasier: Going too far? Being presumptuous?Martin: Yeah, wedon't want to step on any toes.Daphne: I didn't think you'd be uncomfortable with this.Frasier: Well, he clearly is, Daphne.Martin: Donny's right! We're notfamily.Frasier and Martin try to get out of it until Donny realises his bad manners.Donny: Wait, wait, wait, what am I doing? Here you guys, you're making thislovely gesture and I'm just insulting you. I mean if you guys are not family to Daphne, then who is? Course you can pay for the wedding. Thank you, thankyou.Donny hugs Frasier and Martin who cringe at the thought of the cost.Daphne: I just knew he'd see how much this meant to you. I'm tearing up again.Donny:No, don't start with the water works because you're going to get me going. [notices jerky] What's this? Jerky? Can I have some of that?Martin: Helpyourself.Donny: [reads box] Made from filet mignon. How much did this stuff set you back?Frasier: You have no idea!End of Act One. Act Two.Scene One - CaféNervosa. Daphne is going through her plans for the wedding with Frasier.Daphne: Now, as far as the reception goes, I've narrowed it down to two places. I'mleaning towards \"Captain Jonah's.\" The view of the water's lovely. But you have to walk through a whale's mouth to get inside.Frasier: I hesitate to ask how youexit.Daphne: I've got to run. I've a meeting with the DJ.Daphne leaves. The woman seated behind Frasier, covering her head with a newspaper puts her readdown, revealing herself as Roz. She comes over.Roz: I thought she'd never leave!Frasier: Good God, Roz, how long have you been there?Roz: Since you twowalked in and trapped me.Frasier: Aren't you taking this a bit too far just trying to avoid an unflattering dress?Roz: Yeah, I thought you'd say that. That's whyI've been carrying around this picture of the last time I was a bridesmaid.Roz hands her photo to Frasier.Frasier: Good Lord, Roz, you look like you've been tentedfor termites. Roz whips the photo back again.Roz: Well, it sounds like she's having fun planning her wedding.Frasier: Yes, well, now that she can have things herway and not her mother's.Roz: She's lucky you came along.Frasier: Well, yes and no. You know, I sit here and let her make questionable choices and I saynothing because I know it's going to cost me less. I'm sorry, I've got to change my thinking about this whole thing. What good is my money, if I'm denying herthe best gift I have to offer: my taste and expertise? Frankly, what Daphne really deserves is the gift of Frasier.Roz: Suddenly that crock pot I'm giving themdoesn't sound so bad.Frasier: Oh, shut up!Roz exits as Niles appears from the back of the café with a delightful smile upon his face.Frasier: Hello, Niles. You looklike a man who's been waiting to be asked why he's grinning.Niles: Oh, I was just thinking about the other day when you said how you thought dating serviceswere all a big con. Well, I just got conned into meeting the most enchanting woman.Frasier: I don't know what to say.Niles: And I owe it all to \"Executive"}

It's more of anuisance really. It's not that big a deal. So, I collected your hats and your coats...Dwight: To be burned!Erin: To be washed.Angela: What do we do about ourheads?Dwight: I'm not gonna lie. Lye!Erin: No, all we need is mayonnaise.Angela: Excuse me?Pam: She's right, it works. I would imagine.Erin: Yes, it helps tosuffrocate the little buddies and it's a really healthy alternative to the chemicals found in most lice shampoos.Oscar: I can appreciate that. I also only eat local,organic produce.Meredith: [walks in conference room] Shaboom! How do you like me now!?Angela: Oh.Oscar: Wow.Meredith: Take a picture. It will lastlonger.Angela: We don't want it to last longer. It's horrible.Creed: Bald people make me sick.Meredith: Yeah, yeah, everybody pile on Meredith. But I'm the onlyone with the balls to show them lice who's boss.Erin: Ok, nobody panic. If everybody just follows my instructions, then nobody else needs to end up bald. Notthat it looks bad, Meredith. It looks...It looks awesome. You look like a baby who suddenly aged 50 years. A cute baby, but something sucked the life force out ofit. I'm so sorry. We need mayonnaise! We need it now.Pam: Oh! Uh, uh I'll go.Angela: Okay. Oh, thank you.Oscar: You're a saint, Pam.Pam: No, no, it's not a bigdeal, please.

I couldn't look away. You two clearly still have feelings for each other.Darryl: Yeah.Phyllis: What's gonna make you feelbetter, big guy?Darryl: When I was a kid, my grandmother used to make me chocolate cake when I wasn't feeling good. She's not around to do that anymore.I'm sorry, I just need a moment to myself just to clear my head.Nellie: Aw, poor Darryl. I can't bear to see him suffer like this.Kevin: I think he needs some hugs,and maybe some chocolate cake.Phyllis: Mmm, this won't help him, it's a muffin, not cake.Nellie: Listen, let's try and get Darryl the one thing in the world heclearly wants and needs the most.Kevin: An Escalade.Nellie: Or what's her name.Phyllis: Val.Nellie: Let's get Darryl Val.[SCENE_BREAK]Julius Irving: I hope youdon't mind me bringing you out here. I can't get my knees under a desk.Jim: Are you kidding me? I can literally scalp tickets to this.Julius: Well, do you think youcan sink one from deep?Jim: Listen, I don't mean to intimidate you, but I did play a little high school ball.Julius: Okay.

He's gonna need a full hour at the dog park.Niles: [checks his watch] We don't have time to go the dog park, the-the Tour ofSucculents starts promptly at twelve. Uh, hey, Frasier, can you take him?Frasier: No, I'm sorry, Niles. Roz has my car, you see, and Lana's coming by to pick meup for a tutoring session with Kirby.Daphne: I'll just get Eddie's toys.

But I've got a Clean Team Privileges Card! Yes, of course it's a platinum one! [takes itout and looks] No, no there are no diamonds on the corner. Well, then yes, I'd like to become a member of the Diamond Alliance immediately. Fine, put me onthe waiting list. I'll see you in June. [hangs up]Niles: [needling] You're not in the Diamond Alliance?Frasier: Don't do that![SCENE_BREAK]Scene Two - Park Nilesand Daphne are sitting together on a bench in the park, with Eddie. All around them are dogs playing with their owners.Niles: So this is it.Daphne:Mmm-hmm.Niles: I'd hardly call this a dog park. [looks around] It's more like a dog... orgy. Whose beagles are those?Daphne: Don't stare, it only encouragesthem.Niles: Well, hurry up, Eddie, there's lots of exciting depravity to explore. [Eddie doesn't move]Daphne: [takes out a short piece of thick rope] He wants toplay a little fetch.Niles: Oh.Daphne: Well here, you throw it.Niles: With my bare hands?Daphne: Oh come on, it's fun.Niles: [takes it] Ready? Here we go. And,fetch!He tosses the rope about two feet away. Eddie quickly picks it up and brings it back.Niles: All right, I didn't give you enough of a challenge. Here, ready,ready? And, ho! [throws it farther] Go get it! [Eddie runs after it] I'm sorry, I was a bit of a grouch. This is actually a fine way to spend the day.Daphne:Yeah...Niles: In fact, it's kind of...He trails off as a huge hound comes back with the end of the rope hanging from his jaws.Niles: Hello. Do you suppose the restof Eddie's in there?Jim, a tall, handsome, athletic man, follows the hound. Eddie follows him.Jim: Good boy, good boy! Sorry about that, Daphne, but what withthe organic vitamin paste I've been feeding Tank here, Eddie can't keep up with him.Daphne: It's no problem, Jim. Uh, Niles, this is Jim Grady and Tank. This isNiles, my boyfriend.Niles: [shaking hands] Pleasure.Jim: Boyfriend? Ah, I should have known. It seems like every time I'm single you're in a relationship, andevery time you're single I'm in a relationship.Daphne: Yeah, that's true.Jim: I guess we just don't have-Daphne: Timing!Jim: -good... [Daphne laughs] And I'm adrummer!Niles: Which, uh, makes it even more ironic!Tank starts climbing Niles's leg, to his horror.Jim: Tank, that's rude! Now, chill. [Tank obeys]Niles:Wow.Daphne: Wow, you've really got him trained. That's the problem with Eddie. He only listens when he thinks he's gonna get food.Niles: Or one of my socks![laughs, no one else does] But mostly food.Jim: Well, it's all in the voice tone, really. Any dog can learn to respond to it, even an old wheezer like Eddie. You, uh,want me to show you?Daphne: I'd love it.Jim: Come on. [she gets up]Niles: Yeah, we'd all love it!He gets up to follow them, but his cell phone rings.Niles: Oh uh,you guys, uh... [but they're gone] Be right back. [sits and answers] Hello?!SMASH CUT TO: A close-up of Martin, dressed in a dark suit and talking on amobile:Martin: Hi Niles, it's me. I just wanted to make sure Daphne took Eddie for a walk, I completely forgot about it this morning.Niles: Yeah, yeah, we're inthe dog park now. Uh, where are you, anyway?The camera widens to show Martin seated at a table in a nondescript room. It looks a little like a canteen. In thebackground are two people in suits, conferring.Martin: Uh, I'm at the track. Uh, had an itch for it when I woke up, and so just I dropped everything and went. Uh,I'm at the window... [puts the phone to his shoulder] I'll have a trifecta in the eighth. [into phone] All right, gotta run.Niles: Wait, uh-Martin hangs up. He looksvery pensive.[SCENE_BREAK]MR. HAPPY PANTSScene Three - House Lana opens the door to the house, and Frasier follows her in.Frasier: Well, I didn't realizethat I was going to be selling houses with you today! Why didn't you just drop me off and then come on your own?Lana: Stop whining! It'll only take a minute. Ihope we don't run into the sad sack who owns this place.She notices some framed family pictures on the otherwise bare shelves, and quickly removes them to abox on the floor.Lana: I've been trying to sell this house for over a year! But he keeps driving away every potential buyer.Frasier: How does he do that?Phillip,the world's saddest man (judging by his unshaven face and filthy clothes) lumbers in carrying a box.Phillip: Oh... hi. I heard a woman's voice, I thought it mightbe my wife coming back to me.Lana: [as if to a child] No. She lives in Portland now, with her new husband, Lamar, remember? [Phillip nods sadly] Oh, excuseme, Frasier Crane, Phillip Donovan, the current owner.Frasier: Hello.Phillip: Hi.Lana: Well, see you later Phillip!Not seeming to hear her, Phillip puts the box onthe floor and sinks onto the couch.Phillip: Anyway, my wife just left with the kids. No talking, no explanations, just ripped my heart out and threw it to the dogs -which she also took.Frasier: Well, uh, at least you're... getting out at the top of the market!Lana: Actually, this is a very good time, Phillip, and I think today isthe day!Phillip: [opening the box] Oh, no!Lana: Oh, God!Frasier: What's wrong?Phillip: The damn basement must have flooded again. Everything in this box isruined. Little Suzy's cap she wore home from the hospital, ruined; Danny's first soccer uniform, ruined!Frasier: Well, you know, I have an excellentdrycleaner-Lana: [hissed] No!Frasier drops his coat onto a chair and sits beside Phillip on the couch.Frasier: Once, actually, I spilled butter on a pair of whitevelvet pantaloons. [off their looks] Well, it's a long story. But, uh, he had it out in under a minute!Lana: Frasier, just give him the address.Frasier: Yes,yes...Phillip: [shows him some pictures] I have two sons and two daughters. The perfect American family... until that b*st*rd Lamar showed up to snake ourdrains. Now all I have left are weekend visits, and a few treasures from their childhood.He takes out a popsicle stick house and puts it on the coffee table.Phillip:Like this house little Danny and I made at day camp. Oh, thank goodness, it made it through unscathed. Just a little water damage in the basement. Just like thishouse...Frasier: Phillip, you are still their father. I mean, I know things seem difficult right now, but believe me, it'll get easier.Phillip: Oh, it's already easier. Imean, look at me, I'm dressed.Lana: Phillip, you know what would really cheer you up, is to make a killing on this house! Now, don't you think you should getback to work?Phillip: I guess. That air traffic isn't gonna control itself. [gets up]Lana: OK, here we go. [he heads toward the front] No, not the front door! Let's goout the side door. [steers him] It's good to see you again, Phillip, I'll call you when we sell the place, bye!She shoves him out.Frasier: Good lord, that man isobviously in pain, the least you could be is a little sympathetic!Lana: I have been sympathetic for fifteen months! I had him over for Thanksgiving! He got drunkthe first half-hour and cried himself to sleep in my coat closet! And I consider that one of our good days!Frasier: Well, so where are these so-called buyers ofyours? You told me they'd be here in a few minutes.Lana: Well, they're obviously running late, OK? It'll give us time to go over the plan.Frasier: What, what,there's a plan?Lana: Well, sure. When the Smolenskis get here, you act like you want the house. You know, a little competition, put a little pressure on thedeal.Frasier: You're asking me to be your shill?Lana: [slaps her forehead in mock surprise] That's the word! Yes, yes! Now listen, you don't have to sayanything!Frasier: I'm sorry, no!Lana: Well, why not?! Well, look, OK, all you have to do is walk around with an interested look on your face. You know, they'll fillin the rest!Frasier: I will do no such thing!Lana: Why won't you help me?!Frasier: Because I refuse to lie for you!Lana: Oh fine, then go wait in the car!Frasier: Inever wanted to leave the car!Lana: Oh, just get out!She grabs his coat and flings it at him, hitting the stick house and shattering it into a hundred pieces. Theyare both horrified.END OF ACT ONEACT TWOScene Four - House Lana is picking up the pieces. Frasier comes in the door with a grocery bag.Frasier: All right, Igot some cream-sicles, and fudge-sicles, and something they call, uh, \"Bomb Pops!\"Lana: I called the Smolenskis, I bought us a little extra time.Frasier: Right,good, good. All right, let's spread out some paper and then build us a house!Lana: So Frasier, with all your talk about honesty, how do you justify faking thisthing?Frasier: Well... we're simply protecting the feelings of an innocent man. Nothing dishonest about that.Lana: Uh-huh. [holds up a piece] So, uh, are yougonna write, \"I love you, Daddy\" or am I?Frasier: [It's a dirty job, but] I'll do it.[SCENE_BREAK]Scene Five - Park Daphne watches, delighted, as Tank obeysJim's every command.Jim: Sit.

As they continue to kiss, Brianhas a sudden flashback to the surgery.]Woman: Relax and count backwards from ten, Mr. Kinney.[Brian tries to get down to the business at hand. He rolls Justinover and tears open a condom, which evokes an image of the incision. Obviously, this is not an actual memory; it's Brian's imagination, reminding him of what'sno longer there. He looks down, checks the equipment, which seems to be malfunctioning. The moans of pleasure are gone; on his face is a look of intenseconcentration, not to mention stress and aggravation. But he's not ready to concede defeat. He applies lube. At the moment he tries to push inside Justin, hevisualizes the diseased ball being sucked out of his body. Brian gives up. He slides off Justin and sits on the edge of the bed.]Brian: Don't say anything.Justin:Look, I'm sure it's just a temporary malfunction. It takes time for your body to heal itself and for you to regain your strength. Be patient. (Rubbing Brian'sshoulder).

How urgent is it? Uh-huh. And what do you do for a living? That's a good company. You own it? Okay, hold on. (Puts down the receiver) Pen,paper, quick.\" Gunn is pouring some tea for the Blonde in the office.Ally: \"I don't sleep. I'm afraid to go out or answer the phone.\"Gunn: \"Yeah, I hate stalkers.Look, don't worry. We'll put a stop to it.

One of them holds up a metal suit case.Lorne: \"They want your mind. They're celebrating theirprince's, uh - it's - it's like a birthday, only they're not born so much as disgorged. They - they need you to solve one of their traditional puzzles so they can give itto him.

(Traces the design) Geometric shapes. Each a prime number, if you count their edges, arranged in ascending order of exponentialaccumulation.\"Wes, smiling at her: \"Yes, I did - not - notice that at all.\" Fred grins back at him, while the Nahdrahs start clicking away at Lorne.Lorne: \"Ah, theywanna know why your girlfriend was pointing at them. I better tell them what she said before we have an international incident.\"Wes: \"Ah, she's not my...\" Lotsof excited clicking going on by the Nahdrahs.Wes: \"Silly.\" The Nahrdahs leave in a hurry.Fred: \"Did I say something wrong?\"Lorne: \"No. No, they liked"}

I can't wait!Ted from 2030: But somehow, Zoey and I were making it work.Atthe BarBarney: Ted, why are you dating our arch-enemy?! I mean, Wile E. Coyote wasn't trying to sleep with the Roadrunner.Robin: Or maybe he was. Thinkabout it. The way that she bats her eyelashes and shakes her tail feathers in his face? (chuckles) She wants it.Lily: Isn't it hard for you guys to be on oppositesides of something like this?Ted: Of course you feel that way, Lily. You and Marshall have basically melded into one big hermaphroditic blob. And that's fine foryou guys. But some of us want a partner who challenges us to grow and evolve.Lily: You guys are in screaming matches all the time.Ted: Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh.Growing matches.Ted from 2030: It was true. Zoey and I loved to challenge each other.[FLASHBACKS](Ted and Zoey are watching the TV)Ted: The maincharacter is a young spoiled prince thrust into leadership after the death of his father. It's obviously a modern-day retelling of Henry IV!Zoey:Are you kiddingme?! It's Don Quixote...the classic quest story with the hero-jester and his long-suffering manservant!Ted: Okay, clearly, when we're watching Tommy Boy, we'rewatching two different movies.(Later, Ted is on the phone with Zoey)Ted: No, you hang up.Zoey: No, you hang up.Ted: No, you hang up.Zoey: No, you hangup.Ted: No, you hang up! (Later) No, you hang up.Zoey: No, you hang up.Ted: No, you... (His phone starts beeping) Hold on. (beep) Hello?Robin: For the love ofGod, will one of you idiots hang up the phone?Ted: Why would you do that?!Zoey:I-I thought you'd like it.Ted: Who likes that? Zoey:I like it.Lily: Yourrelationship sounds exhausting.Ted: Well, maybe yours is a bit lazy.Lily: Marshall and I have been together 15 years, and the only debate we've had aboutTommy Boy is whether it's awesome or super awesome. That's love, bitch.[OPENING CREDITS]Ted from 2030: Now around this time, Marshall had truly come tohate his job. He hated the paperwork. He hated the coffee. He hated the dirty jokes. He hated everything.At the BarMarshall: I have to quit.Barney: Quit GNB?!Why?Marshall: I need to do better things with my life, okay? There's-There's an opening for an environmental lawyer at the National Resources Defense Council.Sure, it pays less, but I'd be saving the oceans, saving endangered species...Barney: Saving chicken bones and an old boot to make hobo soup? Marshall, youcan't pay your mortgage with Hacky Sacks and good vibes.Lily: Baby, you have my full support.Barney: Well, then, you're not going to be able to pay for that tripto Spain that you've been planning. (Barney snickers) Say good-bye to riding around in gondolas, and eating bratwurst and seeing the pyramids.Robin:I don'tthink you know what Spain is.Barney: Well, I know that a trip there costs some serious lira.Ted: It's dinero.Barney: Where? I want his autograph!Ted from 2030:So Marshall walked in the next morning all ready to quit. But then something weird happened. Suddenly, he didn't hate the paperwork. He didn't hate the coffee.He didn't even hate the dirty jokes. Out of nowhere, Marshall actually liked GNB.Robin: It's graduation goggles.Marshall: What? Robin:Graduation goggles, likewith high school. It's four years of bullies making fun of all the kids with braces, even after the braces come off and they can walk just fine. But then, ongraduation day, you suddenly get all misty because you realize you're never going to see those jerks again. I just had graduation goggles with that guy Scooby Idated.Lily: The guy who was basically a dog? Robin:He was the worst kisser I've ever been with. But the moment I decided to dump him...I suddenly got kind ofwistful. (as speaking to a dog): He was a good boy.Barney: Yeah. I've been there, too. Every time I'm done having s*x with a woman, at first,I never want to seeher again. No, that's pretty much it. Robin:The point is, you can't trust graduation goggles. They're just as misleading as beer goggles, bridesmaid goggles, andthat's-just-a-bulky, outdated-cell-phone in-his-front-pocket goggles. That one was a bummer.Marshall: You're right. Tomorrow, I'm quitting GNB.Barney: No! Youcan't quit tomorrow! The lady with the big nipples is coming back to give another sexual harassment seminar, and I bribed one of the maintenance guys to keepthe room at a brisk 55 degrees!Lily: Baby, more than ever, you have my full support. (Lily and Marshall kisses)Zoey and Ted are in bed, in Ted's appartment / Lilyand Marshall are in bed in their appartment / Barney is in bed with a girl in his appartmentTed: You know, sometimes I feel bad for Lily and Marshall.Lily: I'mstarting to feel bad for Ted and Zoey.Barney: It starts with an... \"L?\"Girl: How can you not remember my name?Ted: It's like they never challenge each other.They just automatically agree all the time.Zoey: Well, they don't do that all the time.Ted:Yes, they do.Zoey: No, they don't. Ted:Yes, they do. It's like they... Lilyand Marshall:... don't see eye-to-eye on anything! Totally.Girl: It rhymes with your name.Barney: And I said my name was...?At Lily and MArshall'sappartment(Marshall comes in)Marshall: Baby, I did it! I quit. And then I walked right over to the NRDC, and I took that job.Lily: Oh, good for you,sweetie.Marshall: Yeah. It's a little less money than I was expecting. I mean, compared to what I was making at GNB, it's nothing. Actually compared to anything,it's nothing. It's nothing. The paid position just got filled, so all I can do is-is volunteer right now. You're cool with that, right?Lily: Baby, if this is what you need todo, we'll figure it out. How's Barney handling you leaving?In Barney's office(Barney is burning a photo of Marshall; Ted enters)Ted: Hey, Barney, there's a bunchof models in the lobby, and the gossip is one of them is really a dude. You want to play \"Who's Hot and Who's Scott?\"Barney: It's always the one in theturtleneck, Ted. And no, I don't want to play. Stupid Marshall-... ruined everything.Ted: Oh, come on. Everything's not ruined.(A man enters)Man: Guys,everything's ruined.Ted: What? Why?Man: Your girlfriend somehow got the Landmark Preservation Committee to agree to a hearing. If they declare the Arcadiana landmark, the whole project is dead. The good news is, I just got the phone number of a husky-voiced hottie in a turtleneck.(The man leaves the room)At theBarRobin:...so, if the Landmarks Preservation Committee sides with Zoey, your whole project goes down the tubes? You must be furious.Ted: I'm furiouslyenjoying being challenged.Lily: Why don't you admit that your girlfriend challenging your every move is getting you a little murder-suicidey?Ted: Why don't youadmit that Marshall quitting his job and taking an unpaid internship is killing you?Lily: It's not.Ted: Lily, the downside to having giant, Japanese anime eyes isthat they're easy to read. And yours are screaming, \"What about my trip to Spain, deadbeat?\"Lily: Okay, Ted, the downside to having a woman's mouth is, yourfeminine pout gives away your true feelings. And yours is saying, \"Oh, Zoey, why can't I be on top just this once?\"Ted: We take turns! Sometimes.(Marshallcomes in)Marshall: Hey, guys. Thanks. Hey. I just had the best first day at the NRDC.(Barney starts laughing)Barney: I'm sorry. Sorry. Something Hershel said atwork today.Robin: Hershel?Barney: What, don't you guys know Hershel? Didn't I tell you? Oh, he's the new lawyer who replaced Marshall at GNB. He is soawesome and funny and tall... taller than Marshall... and he knows way more laws.Lily: Well, I'm glad you like your new co-worker.Barney: There's no Hershel! Iwas just saying that to make you jealous! Why do you insist we play these games?Marshall: Barney, I'm not playing...Barney: Just come back to GNBalready!Marshall: I'm really loving my new job.Lily: Oh, and I'm loving seeing you this happy.Marshall: I'm so glad to hear you say that because I volunteered ourapartment for a big NRDC fund-raiser tomorrow night. You're-You're cool with that, right?Lily: Baby, you have my full support.Marshall: Thanks, baby. (phonechirps) Oh. Ooh, I gotta go. The invitations are ready. The party's for a bunch of environmentalists, so I found a guy downtown who makes biodegradable partyinvitations that can also be used as toilet paper.(Marshall leaves)Barney: That's how I'm gonna use mine.Robin: Why in the world do you care so much whetherMarshall works at GNB?Barney: Care? I don't care. I'm like, whatever. Marshall who? He's stupid. Hershel's way better.Robin:Okay, Barney, is it possible that witheverything that's gone on with your dad lately, you might have some unresolved abandonment issues you're transferring onto Marshall?Barney: Oh! Ugh! You areworse than my shrink. \"Barney, we have to talk about your father.\" \"Barney, I'm not going to teach you how to hypnotize people. You'll only use it for evil.\"\"Barney, I am not going to conduct a couples session \"between you and this woman. She's obviously a prostitute.\" I don't need this![SCENE_BREAK]At Ted'sappartment(Lily arrives)Ted: Ah, Lily Aldrin, half of the world's most perfect couple! I was thinking about that woman's mouth comment, and I have three goodcomebacks. One: your mom didn't seem to mind it last night on her...Lily: Okay, look, Ted, I need a favor. Would you mind driving out to Kennedy with me topick up this famous ecologist for Marshall's fund-raiser? Apparently, he only speaks Spanish. And you speak Spanish, right? (Ted says something in spanish)Perfect. Let's go.At Barney's office(Barney is on the phone with Marshall)Barney: Hey, Marshall, it's me. Listen, I know I've been kind of a jerk about your leavingGNB. I just wanted to call and say I'm sorry. No apologies necessary. We're good. Good. Um, hey, any chance you might maybe... I don't know... if you're notbusy, uh, want to have lunch today?Marshall: Oh, buddy, I'd love to, but I can't.Barney: Oh, that's cool. No biggie. Another time.Robin: (Robin is standing at thedoor) Oh, my God!Barney: How long have you been there?Robin: You don't remember?[FLASHBACK]Robin: Hey. I was in the neighborhood. I just wanted tocheck in on you. You seemed, um, you seemed really upset the other day.Barney: Oh, no, I'm fine.Robin: Okay. Well, um, you want to go grab somelunch?Barney:Sure. Hey, are you okay if I invite Marshall to join us?Robin: Yeah.(Barney makes a call to Marshall)[END OF FLASHBACK]Barney:Right. So, um...Chinese?In Ted's carTed: You know, just because Zoey and I are a different kind of couple than you and Marshall doesn't make us a worse couple.Lily: You'reright. I-If you and Zoey are happy, then who am I to judge? I'm so sorry.Ted: Oh, my God, is that how support feels? It's so warm and wonderful. Oh, Lily, I'vebeen so unhappy.Lily: But I thought you liked being challenged.Ted: Nobody likes being challenged! Couldn't she agree with me just once, even on something"}

I picked the wrong ones. Power lines. As I couldn't stop the radiation, I had to try and wall it in. Now thingsare even worse.DOCTOR: In what way?BOR: The whole lot's unstable. Know what would happen if one of those exploded? It'd be more than just a loudbang.DOCTOR: Chain reaction.BOR: Nothing in the universe would be safe.KARI: What?BOR: Did I tell you? One of the engines has already exploded.DOCTOR:When?BOR: No, oh, it was a long time ago. It's all in the computer. That one will go next. I didn't find out why until I followed the control cables.KARI: Whywasn't Terminus destroyed in the explosion?BOR: Terminus is protected.VALGARD: Tell them nothing, Bor. They're Company spies.BOR: Really? They seemed sofriendly.VALGARD: You forget our last encounter. The power pack is exhausted. I'm taking you back, but not before I've beaten some respect into you.BOR: Mywall!KARI: Doctor![SCENE_BREAK]NYSSA: Let me go. Please, please, let me go.SIGURD: Don't you want to be cured? This is for your own good.NYSSA: Please,let me go.SIGURD: At least, that's what I'm told.[SCENE_BREAK]KARI: What's that?DOCTOR: Some sort of signal.DOCTOR: Come on.[SCENE_BREAK]NYSSA:No! What is that thing?SIGURD: Your cure. The Garm's found Bor.BOR: Most kind.SIGURD: Let's get him to Eirak while he can still talk.OLVIR: Let's see thatchain.NYSSA: No!OLVIR: It's me, Nyssa.NYSSA: Quickly! Quick.OLVIR: I can't, I'm not strong enough.NYSSA: Olvir![SCENE_BREAK]KARI: What are you lookingfor now?DOCTOR: The control lines. The ones Bor said he followed.[SCENE_BREAK]TURLOUGH: There must be a way to recreate the door we entered this shipby. Wait here.[SCENE_BREAK]KARI: This is a complete waste of time. Bor doesn't know what he's talking about. He's suffering from radiation sickness.DOCTOR:Yes, you're right about the sickness. I want to find out what he discovered.KARI: Does it matter?DOCTOR: I think it could be ratherimportant.[SCENE_BREAK]SIGURD: Bor, can you hear me?BOR: Sigurd?SIGURD: Why did you do it? You knew you couldn't survive in the Forbidden Zone.BOR:Worth a try. The pilot's dead, you know.SIGURD: Pilot?BOR: Of Terminus.SIGURD: What?BOR: But he's still there. He's going to fire up the engines again andthey won't take it and the big bang will happen all over again.EIRAK: Where's his helmet?SIGURD: He didn't have it. He's delirious. He needs Hydromel.EIRAK:There isn't any to spare.SIGURD: But he's dying.EIRAK: So why detain him?[SCENE_BREAK]GUARDIAN (OOV.): You have not destroyed the Doctor.TURLOUGH: Ihaven't found him yet.GUARDIAN (OOV.): Kill the Doctor.TURLOUGH: I will, I will. I have a plan.GUARDIAN (OOV.): You have nothing.TURLOUGH: I do! But Ineed to get back to the TARDIS.GUARDIAN (OOV.): Why?TURLOUGH: Trust me.TEGAN (OOV.): Turlough!TURLOUGH: How do I recreate the door?GUARDIAN(OOV.): Fail me againTURLOUGH: I won't, I promise.GUARDIAN (OOV.): Then search for an emergency bypass switch.TURLOUGH: Where?GUARDIAN (OOV.):You have skills. Use them. Look beneath your feet.TEGAN: What are you doing?TURLOUGH: Remember when we were underneath the floor? Well, I noticedsomething familiar. It's only just come to me what it was. Come on.[SCENE_BREAK]DOCTOR: Terminus control.KARI: Look.[SCENE_BREAK]NYSSA:Olvir![SCENE_BREAK]DOCTOR: Do you remember Bor saying one of the engines had exploded?KARI: Did he?DOCTOR: He was wrong. It didn't come to that.Look at this. Terminus was once capable of time travel.KARI: So?DOCTOR: Well, to push a ship of this size through time would require an enormous amount ofenergy.KARI: What are you getting at?DOCTOR: Well, think about what we've learnt. Terminus seems to be at the centre of the universe, yes? Now, imagine thisship in flight. Suddenly the pilot finds he has an enormous amount of unstable fuel on board. What would you do?KARI: Jettison it.DOCTOR: Perfectly normalprocedure. Unfortunately, he ejects his fuel into a void.KARI: And it exploded.DOCTOR: Starting a chain reaction.KARI: How big?DOCTOR: Enormous. Biggestexplosion of all time. Event One.KARI: The Big Bang?DOCTOR: Yes.KARI: It isn't possible.DOCTOR: A chemical reaction in a primeval swamp can create life on aplanet. Why couldn't the universe be created by a similar chance factor, hmm?KARI: But exploding fuel in space? It's almost too simple.DOCTOR: It only appearssimple because the circumstances were exactly right.KARI: Well, if what you're saying is right, why wasn't Terminus destroyed in the explosion?DOCTOR: Well,the pilot time-jumped the ship forward before realising how unstable the fuel was. The resulting shockwave must have caught up with him, boosting the shipbillions of years into the future.KARI: Killing the pilot and damaging the second engine.DOCTOR: Yes.KARI: If there was a second explosion, would it have thesame effect as the jettisoned fuel?DOCTOR: Not quite. Whereas the first explosion created the universe, the second would undoubtedly destroyit.[SCENE_BREAK]TURLOUGH: There it is. Emergency bypass. We'll soon have that door open.TEGAN: Where's the light coming from?TURLOUGH: It'snothing.[SCENE_BREAK]KARI: What's happening?DOCTOR: I don't know. Oh, no.KARI: What?DOCTOR: It wasn't the pilot's decision. The computer's just startedan automatic sequence to jettison the unstable fuel. If we don't do something quickly, the whole universe will be destroyed."}

If I go out there and show off mymagic, I run the risk of losing them as friends.Spike: It's not the same thing, Twilight! You'd be using your magic to stand up for your friends!Twilight: No, Spike!It's exactly the same!Spike: Come on, Twilight.

Now don't worry. It's not your fault at all. If it'sanybody's, it's mine.STEVEN: Look, do you think this has happened before?

Though I must say that we're usually very healthy.(DODO coughs andsneezes behind him.)STEVEN: It'll spread through the whole ship, become an epidemic.DOCTOR: Well that depends on the strength of the virus infection.DODO:(Crying.)

Imean how can you possibly...BACCU: ...and that you are agents of the planet towards which this spaceship is proceeding. That you came here to destroyus.STEVEN: Why? We're human beings like you are. Well, why should we?ZENTOS: (Shouts.) There is the crux of the matter. Do you expect us to believe thatnonsense, that you manage in that ridiculous machine called the TARDIS, have managed to travel through time? Guardians, Monoids, these beings, whateverthey are, place a heavy strain on our credulity.STEVEN: Well that's not very difficult! If your medical records are anything to go by, this segment of time, far frombeing one of the most advanced in knowledge, is one of the worst!ZENTOS: (Standing in anger.) We can cope with all things known to the fifty-seventh segmentof Earth life, but not with strange diseases brought by you - as agents of the intelligences that inhabit Refusis!STEVEN: Are you still on about that? I've told youbefore; we know nothing of that planet!ZENTOS: My instincts, every fibre of my being, tells me differently.STEVEN: And that, unfortunately, tells me only onething.ZENTOS: What's that?(STEVEN is now sweating heavily.)STEVEN: That the nature of man, even in this day and age, hasn't altered at all. You still fear...theunknown, like everyone else before you.[SCENE_BREAK]15: INT. ARK.

Let's go upstairs.Joey: (smiles) Okay.(She starts climbing the ladder and Dawson stares up after her smiling. Cut to Joey climbingthrough his window and Dawson following, kissing and giggling the whole way, oblivious to Jen sitting on the bed. Dawson starts kissing Joey's neck and shenotices her.)Dawson: Jen?Joey: What's wrong?Jen: (mumbling..almost deliriously) Abby...and I were on the dock and ....and we were up there ...and we...wewere drinking ...and she ...fell back and hit her head ...and she ...she drowned. (pauses) Abby's dead.(Joey is shocked, as well as Dawson, and she goes and sitsnext to Jen on the bed and puts her arm around her as Jen starts crying.)(OPENING CREDITS)(Cut to Joey looking through an old photo album of pictures of herwith her mother. She has a tear rolling down her face. Her dad walks out.)Mr.Potter: (looking at the pictures) Seems like a lifetime ago. Your mother loved thatdress. I told her to take it back, too expensive. She went out and bought two of em just like it just despite me.(Joey cracks a small smile.)Mr.Potter: That wasyour mother. Why are you looking at this?Joey: This girl at my school died on Saturday night. She drowned.Mr.Potter: Joey, that's terrible. Were you twoclose?Joey: No, not particularly. She was sort of a nightmare. But it's, uh, sort of got me thinking...remembering.Mr.Potter: Joey, we, uh, never really talkedabout your mother or her death...Joey: (obviously avoiding) Well, uh, it's getting late and I have to be getting to school so...(She gets up and takes her cup backinto the kitchen and grabs her bag. Cut to Capeside High. Jen's walking through the hallway to her locker and everybody's staring at her. Cut to a group of kidssitting in a circle around a counselor. Pacey, Andie, Jack, and Jen are included.)Counselor: Hi, my name is Elizabeth, and I'm a grief counselor. I'm here tofacilitate a discussion about Abby. I know you've all be dealt a heavy blow, but by sharing your feelings with each other, it could aid in the long, and difficult,process we call grieving.(Pacey's biting his nails, obviously unconcerned about the whole thing as Andie stares around the room and Jack just looks bored.)Girl:I'd like to make an announcement. The Girls' Service League is distributing yellow arm bands that we're wearing in Abby's memory. If anyone would like an armband, please meet me in the cafeteria at lunchtime.(Jen just laughs unbelievably at the concern. Jack scratches his nose.)Counselor: Jennifer. I was told that youwere a close friend of Abigail's. Would you like to talk about some of the feelings your experiencing?Jen: No.Counselor: That's perfectly okay. I understand.Andie? Did you know Abigail?Andie: Yeah, I did.Counselor: Can you talk about your feelings?Andie: Well, um...I guess I'm feeling shocked. I mean she was soincredibly alive and she had such a great spirit. It's-it's really a tragedy.(Jen is disgusted by these fake feelings of concern so she grabs her things and stormsout.)Counselor: Jennifer?(Cut to the cafeteria. Dawson is watching the girl hand out the yellow arm bands.)Girl: Thank you so much for honoring Abby'smemory.(Joey comes over.)Joey: Hey.Dawson: (smiles) Hey.Joey: Listen, I know we have a lot to talk about concerning the other night but..Dawson: Listen,Joey, could we just not ...go there...right now? Because I mean there's ...a lot going on and we can analyze this to death later just...Joey: Right. (Joey kind oflooks around and scoots in closer.) Dawson, the truth is, I never really liked Abby.Dawson: Ditto.Joey: I actually despised her.Dawson: It's weird. I mean, Abbywas weird, that she died was weird, the way she died was weird. I can't even imagine what the funeral's going to be like.Joey: I'm not going.Dawson: You'renot?Joey: The last funeral I went to was my mom's. I mean, I haven't even gone to her gravesite. I think going to Abby's funeral would just open this Pandora'sBox of emotions that, frankly, I'd rather keep sealed tight.Dawson: (tentatively) Joey...your mother died three years ago. If you have these feelings you haven'tdealt with, how long were you planning on waiting?Joey: I don't know. I guess I'm just...there's a part of me that's still holding on. That little girl inside is justwaiting for her return. You know, that her death was just some cosmic error and eventually, God will realize he made a terrible mistake and he'll send her back tome like he did my dad. And ...(smiles) I'll have my mom again. (looks at Dawson) I know it sounds ridiculous.Dawson: No, no, it's-no. But, I mean, that's achild's false hope. Eventually, you're going to have to let it go.Joey: Yeah, but I don't want to let it go. (pauses) You don't know what it's like, Dawson.(Cut to Jen,in the bathroom, splashing water on her makeup-stained face. Andie enters.)Andie: Um, Jen? I've been looking all over for you. You just stormed out of class. Areyou okay?Jen: If dealing with Abby's death isn't hard enough, but to watch everybody parade around like Abby was their best friend, it's sickening. Aside fromme, Abby didn't have a single friend in Capeside.Andie: That's because she was a--(stops herself)Jen: A bitch! Come on, Andie, say it! Abby was a bitch.Andie:Well, I wouldn't go that far...Jen: Yeah, well, you would've three days ago, but now that she's dead you wax poetic about her great spirit. It's so insincere!Andie:Well, I don't think it's appropriate to maline her character after she's gone!Jen: It isn't malining if it's true! Believe me, it would have been easier for everybody ifAbby had just been this wonderful person with this virtuous qualities but she wasn't! She was mean! And the least we can do is acknowledge who she reallywas.(Jen exits out the bathroom, Andie follows.)Andie: Jen, listen, I know this must be hard for you.Jen: And I am so sick and tired of people treating me like I'msome kind of celebrity just because I happened to be at the scene of the crime. It's funny. Abby spent her entire life shattering our fragile egos and that's whypeople disliked her so intensely. Leave it to Abby. Even in her death she's still exposing hypocrisy.Andie: Well, I feel bad but I always tried to reach out to her andeverytime she rejected me.Jen: She rejected you?! If you hadn't rejected her at the wedding, none of this ever would have happened!Andie: What?Jen: Youkicked us out of the wedding, Andie. That's why we were at the docks in the first place.Andie: (slowly) Don't say that.Jen: I'm sorry, okay? I can't--I've got to gohome.(She leaves down the hall. Cut to Dawson coming in his front door, he spots his mom coming down the stairs.)Dawson: Hey!Gail: Hi honey! So...how wasschool?Dawson: Weird. Everybody's playing the beautiful mourners but underneath there's this weird sense they're all munchkins finally freed from the spell ofthe wicked witch of the east. (Kristin's note: Wasn't it the wicked witch of the west?)Gail: Well, honey, I know you're dealing with a lot right now, but I have somenews I need to share with you.Dawson: You sound serious.Gail: No, no, no, it's not bad news. It's good news. Remember the piece I did on the teenagegirls?Dawson: Yeah.Gail: Well, I won the Peil Vision Award for Excellence for News Broadcasting.(Dawson hugs her.)Dawson: That's incredible, Mom!Congratulations!Gail: Oh, but that's not the news. The news is that because of the award, I've been offered a job as network correspondent. It's a lot of money,it's high profile, it's...in Philadelphia.(Dawson's face drops.)Dawson: Oh. Are you going to take it?Gail: Well, professionally, it's a huge leap for me. It's what I'vealways worked for.Dawson: But I don't want to move to Philadelphia...Gail: Oh, I completely understand that. You're halfway through high school. No, I do notwant to uproot you. If I took the job, I assume your father would move back in and I would come home as often as I could...Dawson: S-So what about you andDad? Are you guys just throwing in the towel?Gail: Well, that's the last thing I want, but I'm hitting my head up against the wall here, honey. Your father doesn'tseem to have any interest in making things work. So if I walk away from this career opportunity, and I lose this marriage, what do I have?Dawson: You still haveme.(She smiles. Cut to Grams walking in to Jen's room where Jen's lying on her bed wrapped in a blanket.)Grams: Jennifer, I'm worried about you.Jen: Don't be.I'm just tired.Grams: You know, I can't say I was particularly fond of your friend, Abby. I always had the distinct impression that she was mocking me.(Jensmiles.)Grams: She was, wasn't she?Jen: Don't take it personally, Grams. Abby was mocking everyone.Grams: But she was your friend. It's so hard tounderstand why God would take someone so young...with so much left to learn, so much left to live. It really tests one's faith.Jen: Yeah, well, maybe I didn't haveany faith to begin with.Grams: Well, rest assured, God may work in mysterious ways but He has a plan.Jen: Well, if God had a plan for Abby, she certainly wasn'tfollowing it.Grams: God has a plan for everybody, including Abby. Including you.Jen: Grams, I really don't want to have a religious discussion right now.Grams:It's times like this that--Jen: Grams, please! Okay?Grams: Alright, but...I'm here for you. Whenever you need me.(Cut to Pacey and Andie in a deli-likerestaurant.)Pacey: I can't believe Jen would accuse you of being responsible. She was drunk, she fell, she drowned. End of story. It was nobody's fault, least ofall, yours.Andie: Yeah, but ...I was so mean to her.Pacey: Oh, come on, you've got to be kidding me! (to cashier) Thanks! (to Andie) Abby Morgan was one of themost hideous creatures to ever haunt the streets of Capeside and you bent over backwards to befriend her. You really shouldn't be taking this that hard,Andie.Andie: Don't tell me how I should be feeling. If I'm upset, then I'm upset. If I feel guilty, then I feel guilty. I think those are perfectly valid feelings.Pacey:You're right, I'm sorry. I just don't like seeing you like this, okay?(Two women walk by their table. Once they're out of earshot...)Andie: Oh, God, Pacey. Don'tlook now, but Abby's mother just walked in.(Abby's mother turns and spots Andie and walks towards her.)Abby's mother: Don't I know you?Andie: Yes, Mrs.Morgan, I'm Andie McPhee. You drove me home once.Abby's mother: Oh, that's right. You're a friend of Abby's. She talked a lot about you.(Andie looks at Pacey,confused.)Andie: She did? Oh, Mrs. Morgan, I am so sorry about what happened.Abby's mother: Will you be coming to the funeral?Andie: Oh, of course...ofcourse I will.Abby's mother: You know, no one's offered to give a eulogy...and I'm not really familiar with any of her other school friends, you will be saying a few"}

This is, this is insane.Phoebe: Oh, just ask him!Rachel: Me?!Phoebe:I can't ask him! Do you have any idea how inappropriate that would be?! All I'm saying is just talk to Frank. Okay?

PARADISE TOWERS[SCENE_BREAK](An exterior view of the Towers, high up in the sky.The glass walls and windows of the Towers reflect the fluffy white clouds hanging in the sky.)[SCENE_BREAK]2. INT. THE BASEMENT[SCENE_BREAK](The Cleanerpushes the Chief Caretaker towards his \"pet\" represented by the neon lights through the \"No Entry\" door.)VOICE: You have no choice. I am Kroagnon, the GreatArchitect, and I will put an end to you and everyone in Paradise Towers.(The Chief is pushed forward by the Cleaner and into a machine. An opaque cylinderbegins to descend on him and obscures him from view. As it does so, he lets out a loud scream. The Doctor and the Kangs come out from their hiding place andwatch this happen.)BIN LINER: Ware Cleaners!THE DOCTOR: Back to the lift.(Fire Escape is hesitant, thinking she can use her weapon on a Kang, but the Doctorgestures for them to run.)FIRE ESCAPE: Wait, Doctor.THE DOCTOR: Back!(Fire Escape fires her weapon, hitting a Cleaner, but it has no effect on it. Taken offguard, another Cleaner appears. With its claw it grabs the Doctor by the throat and proceeds to strangle him.)DRINKING FOUNTAIN: Doctor! Now.(She fires herweapon and the arrow hits the Cleaner, causing a malfunction, and thus it loses its grip on the Doctor. The Doctor and the Kangs quickly run for the exit door andit closes, placing a barrier between them and the Cleaners. Back in Kroagnon's lair, the large opaque cylinder rises, revealing what used to be the Chief Caretaker.His skin now has a silvery sheen and his clothing looks clean and shiny. Kroagnon now inhabits the Chief's body. He steps out from the machinery and moves toaddress the Cleaners who gather around him.)KROAGNON: Attention all Robotic Cleaners. Attention all Robotic Cleaners. At last Kroagnon can leave thebasement prison they trapped his bodiless brain in and return in this borrowed body to the corridors and lifts of his own creation. They buried me away because Iwanted to stop them using the Towers. And now you and I will destroy them.[SCENE_BREAK]3. INT. THE STREET[SCENE_BREAK](The Doctor and the mixture ofKangs race down the street. The Doctor is clearly out of breath lagging behind.)THE DOCTOR: Just a moment, please stop! Please! The immediate danger's over.And I wouldn't mind getting my breath back.(The Doctor sits down on an old crate at the side of the corridor. The three Kangs - Drinking Fountain (Blue KangLeader), Fire Escape (Red Kang Leader) and Bin Liner (Red Kang) - kneel down beside him. A fourth Red Kang stands guard at the end of the corridor.)DRINKINGFOUNTAIN: The Doctor really is ice hot.THE DOCTOR: Very hot!DRINKING FOUNTAIN: Not a yawny Oldster.THE DOCTOR: Now, you understand the dangerousposition we're in. We must gather all the Kangs together.FIRE ESCAPE: And is the Chief Caretaker really unalive?THE DOCTOR: As himself, yes. But you saw whathappened. Up till now Kroagnon's simply been a mind without a body, as your parents must have left him. However, I fear he may have spent his time downthere devising a way of performing Corpoelectroscopy - a way of transplanting his brilliant brain to some host body.BIN LINER: And what's the come out,Doctor?THE DOCTOR: Oh, I can't be certain. But Kroagnon won't want to stay locked up in his basement much longer. He's bound to show himself in one form oranother.[SCENE_BREAK]4. EXT. FLOOR 304 / THE POOL[SCENE_BREAK](Pex is sitting at the side of the pool whilst Mel bobs around in the water, enjoyingherself.)MEL: Oh, the water's really lovely. You really ought to come and join me, Pex. It'll do you the world of good. There's really nothing to be frightenedof.(Mel fails to see the Yellow Robotic Crab-like Pool Cleaner as it comes up behind her. It grabs hold of her and she lets out a scream. Pex is alerted and jumps tohis feet, uncertain of what to do.)[SCENE_BREAK]5. INT. RED KANG HEADQUARTERS[SCENE_BREAK](The hideout is bustling with activity. The Doctor restsagainst a large blue barrel. The Red and Blue Kangs are present.)THE DOCTOR: It's taking over the building floor by floor.(Bin Liner is on the Talky phone.)BINLINER: Return to Red Kang Base and Ware Cleaners! Build High for Happiness.(She replaces the receiver onto it's position on the Drinking Machine.)THEDOCTOR: Is Fire Escape going to join us?(Bin Liner nods.)THE DOCTOR: Are all the Kangs here? Red? Blue?DRINKING FOUNTAIN: Yes. Except for those...THEDOCTOR: Those who've been made unalive. Yes. Well, when Fire Escape gets here we must all make for the Great Pool in the Sky.[SCENE_BREAK]6. EXT. FLOOR304 / THE POOL[SCENE_BREAK](The Yellow Pool Cleaner is attempting to drag Mel under the water. Her head goes under a few times but she struggles to remainabove the surface of the water. Pex runs around the side of the pool in a state of confusion and panic.)MEL: Pex, do something!PEX: But what should I do?MEL:Anything!(The Cleaner bobs up and down in the water threatening Mel with its claws and mechanical tendrils that are wrapped around Mel's body.)PEX: Help!Help!MEL: Can't you think of anything else?(Again the Cleaner pulls Mel beneath to the surface of the water. When she struggles back up again, she makes alunge in the direction of Pex, reaching for his gun.)MEL: Quick. Give me that!(She takes the gun from Pex and splashes her way out of the pool as the Cleaneradvances after her. She turns and fires directly at it causing an explosion. The Cleaner buzzes and crackle and sinks to the bottom of the pool. Mel stands pantingon the edge of the pool with Pex.)PEX: Mel, I did warn you.(Mel turns to look at Pex in frustrated disbelief.)[SCENE_BREAK]7. INT. THE CARETAKERS'HEADQUARTERS[SCENE_BREAK](The Deputy Chief Caretaker stands in front of the bank of monitor screens as he addresses his fellow caretakers.)DEPUTY CHIEFCARETAKER: Attention all Caretakers.

All Caretakers to act with extreme caution and get back here as fast as they can.(The monitor screens display various Caretakers running down thecorridors in response to his instructions.)[SCENE_BREAK]8. EXT. FLOOR 304 / THE POOL[SCENE_BREAK](Mel and Pex are sitting on a lounger at the side of thepool. Mel has dried off and put her clothes back on. Pex looks very glum.)MEL: Pex.PEX: What?MEL: I'm sorry.(She is distracted by a sound coming from theother end of the pool - behind a curtain.)MEL: What's that?PEX: Where?MEL: Well there's a rustling sound coming from over there.PEX: I only checked it a fewminutes ago.MEL: Shall I go?PEX: If you want.(Taking a deep breath, Mel puts her towel aside and walks as nonchalantly as possible towards the curtained-offarea. Pex cautiously follows her, getting his gun out just in case. She pulls aside the curtains to see nothing there.)PEX: Nothing there?MEL: No.PEX: Sure?MEL:Of course. See for yourself.(Suddenly the Doctor bursts through the curtain, startling both Pex and Mel. Mel gasps but is then relieved.)MEL: Doctor!THEDOCTOR: I'm sorry to give you such a shock, Mel, but this is where the Cleaner service lift appears to come out.MEL: Oh, Doctor, it's so good to see you!THEDOCTOR: And you, Mel, and you!(The Doctor and Mel hug. The Doctor notices Pex and reaches out his hand and doffs his hat.)THE DOCTOR: Um, how d'youdo?MEL: This is Pex.THE DOCTOR: Ah. I believe you've met my friends before.(The Doctor steps back and pulls the curtain back to reveal the Kangs. Pex takes upa defensive stance and eyes them suspiciously.)[SCENE_BREAK]9. INT. THE STREET[SCENE_BREAK](Smoke starts to fill the corridor. A Caretaker appears at theend of it, clutching his throat and coughing. He falls to the ground dead. Kroagnon, inhabiting the Chief Caretaker's body, walks awkwardly down the corridorfollowed by a Cleaner that belches out smoke.)KROAGNON: Search hard, My Cleaners, search hard. Bring them all out! All the nasty human beings! TheCaretakers! The Residents! The Kangs! All of them! We'll be back to collect the rubbish later.[SCENE_BREAK]10. EXT. FLOOR 304 / THEPOOL[SCENE_BREAK](The Kangs are sitting in a united group along the side of the pool with Pex alone at the end. The Doctor and Mel are pacing up and down atthe head of the pool.)MEL: Imagine building this beautiful pool and filling it with mechanical killers.THE DOCTOR: The rest of the Towers would have been like thispool if he'd had his way. A killer in every corner.MEL: And you're sure Kroagnon's been let loose again?THE DOCTOR: Oh, very much so. But we know so littleabout his plans. He had years to brood over what he wants to do. But we've no time to come up with a counter plan.(Fire Escape moves over to Pex to taunt him,with the other seated Red and Blue Kangs willing her on.)FIRE ESCAPE: Did Mel make the creature unalive for you?DRINKING FOUNTAIN: And stop you beingtaken to the cleaners?(Pex nods his head shamefully.)FIRE ESCAPE: Then Mel is a Kang after all.(They all look around at the Doctor and Mel conversing at theother end of the Pool.)PEX: I'll show you all. I will put the world of Paradise Towers to rights.BIN LINER: Oh, yes?PEX: Yes!FIRE ESCAPE: You're a cowardly cutlet,Pex. You will always hide, always.(All the Kangs laugh at Pex. Mel and the Doctor watch the unruly group.)MEL: They shouldn't treat him like that.THE DOCTOR:That's Paradise Towers in a nutshell, I'm afraid. The Red Kangs didn't trust the Blue Kangs. And none of them trusted the Caretakers. And the Rezzies, from youraccount, prey on whoever they can and trust no one either. And all of them despise poor old Pex. Oh, the Great Architect must be delighted. How are we going tounite the people of Paradise Towers to defeat him?MEL: We'll find a way. We have to.(The Doctor looks despairingly at Mel. All through their conversation, theKang chants of \"He's a Cowardly Cutlet\" have been building, directed at Pex. Unable to take anymore, Pex storms off in the direction of the way out. He walkspast the Doctor and Mel. She goes to follow him.)MEL: Pex, don't go. Pex!(All of those gathered around the pool are stunned into silence and stillness at theunexpected arrival of three Rezzies, lead by Maddy. She steps timidly forward to address them all.)MADDY: I... that is we... we the Rezzies... the remainingRezzies that is, want to talk to you all. I think we may need your help.[SCENE_BREAK]11. INT. THE CARETAKERS' HEADQUARTERS[SCENE_BREAK](The DeputyChief Caretaker sits alone, solemnly staring at the floor. The main door to the room opens with a hum and what the Deputy thinks is the Chief walks in -Kroagnon. The Deputy jumps up looking pleased.)DEPUTY CHIEF CARETAKER: Well, Chiefy, I thought you were lost. I...(He stops as he sees two Cleanersthrough the doorway behind the Chief (Kroagnon). He notices the Chief's slightly odd appearance - he has a silvery sheen to his face and clothing. He starts toadvance awkwardly towards the Deputy.)KROAGNON: The Towers have become appallingly dirty.DEPUTY CHIEF CARETAKER: Sorry?KROAGNON: The whole placeis polluted with flesh, living flesh.DEPUTY CHIEF CARETAKER: Flesh?

My theory is they're getting paid by the piece. They recovered everything within a twenty meter radius ofthe vehicle. Sunglasses, golfballs, Rick James eight-track, typewriter. I didn't see any point in bringing the Maytag up from the evidence lockup.GIBBS: Anythingto do with the case?ABBY: As a matter of fact, found directly beneath the vehicle... can you hear me now? I might be able to recover some data from the memorychip.GIBBS: What about the bullet we brought up from the wreck last night?ABBY: Forty five caliber, two hundred and thirty grain hardball. Lots and lots ofstopping power. The grooving matches a Colt forty-five, old-school military version.GIBBS: Did you work up a trajectory, yet?ABBY: Of course. The bullet's entryangle into the side of the door is obvious as Anna Nicole's implants.GIBBS: Who?ABBY: You know, married that old guy? Had a TV show? Got fat, got thin, got fat,got thin, fat, thin--GIBBS: Stop!ABBY: So using that angle, I back-traced the trajectory. The bullet traveled on this path. So unless he was driving with his feetfrom the backseat, which is something that I have tried but do not recommend...GIBBS: Abby?ABBY: The round had to have gone through McAllister'sbody.[SCENE_BREAK]INT. LAB - DAYDUCKY: It's entirely possible, Jethro, but if Abby's animation is correct, the bullet passed clean through the thoracic cavity.Unfortunately, without leaving any evidence of its passing.GIBBS: Hell of a shot.DUCKY: Yeah.GIBBS: The vehicle had to be going over seventy to end up wherewe found it in the lake.DUCKY: Well, at that speed a bullet passing through the ribcage without so much as glancing a single bone... huh!

Justleave them alone.DOCTOR: The Dalek invasion of the Earth in the year 2000 was foiled because of an attempt by the Daleks to mine the core of the planet. Themagnetic properties of the Earth were... Mars... the Daleks were defeated by a virus that attacked the insulation on the cables in their electrical systems. ...In thespace year seventeen thousand was halted by the intervention of a fleet of war rockets from the planet Hyperon. The rockets were made of a metal that wascompletely resistant to Dalek firepower. The Dalek Task Force was completely destroyed.DAVROS: This seems an opportune moment to end this session. Nyder.Release the prisoners. Take them to the detention area.DAVROS: Interrogation will continue later. And I must thank you, Doctor. What you have told me will beinvaluable.DAVROS: All this information, this foreknowledge, will be programmed into the Dalek memory banks. Take them away.DAVROS: Doctor, stay amoment. Sit down. Let us talk together now, not as prisoner and captor, but as men of science. There is so much I wish to know. Nyder, take charge of thetape.NYDER: Immediately, Davros.DAVROS: It will be your responsibility, and remember, it is priceless. It's value beyond computation.[SCENE_BREAK]SARAH:Ah, thank you.HARRY: Who are you?GHARMAN: My name's Gharman.HARRY: Gharman?GHARMAN: Until a few hours ago I was head of the Military Elite ScientificCorps.SARAH: And now you're a prisoner like us? What happened?GHARMAN: Wait.GHARMAN: I was trying to organise a movement against Davros. He foundout. Now, what's happening out there? Has there been any attempt to take away control from Davros?SARAH: Not that we know of.GHARMAN: Nothing?HARRY:He's still very much in charge.GHARMAN: I don't understand. You see, Davros tricked me into giving him the names of the group who were plotting against him.Have there not been mass arrests by now? Executions?SARAH: It all seemed pretty quiet out there.GHARMAN: But Davros knows that we're planning actionagainst him. Why hasn't he moved to stop it? Why?HARRY: Perhaps that'd be too obvious, even for Davros.GHARMAN: Well, if that's true, he's being too cleverfor his own good. Every moment he delays, our movement grows in strength.SARAH: I hope you're right.GHARMAN: I know I am. Many of us believe thatproduction of the Daleks must end. I believe now that we are in the majority. If we act soon, we can break his power.HARRY: We're not in much of a position toact at the moment, are we.GHARMAN: If only I could get word to them now.[SCENE_BREAK]SOLDIER: Halt! State your business.KAVELL: I wish to question theprisoners.SOLDIER: Nobody is allowed to communicate with the prisoners unless they have a pass signed by Davros.SOLDIER: Stay where you are!KAVELL: Iseem to have mislaid it. I'll come back later.[SCENE_BREAK]DAVROS: Now, future errors will be eradicated. Defeats will become victories. You have changed thefuture of the universe, Doctor.DOCTOR: I have betrayed the future. Davros, for the last time, consider what you're doing. Stop the development of theDaleks.DAVROS: Impossible. It is beyond my control. The workshops are already fully automated to produce the Dalek machines.DOCTOR: It's not the machines,it's the minds of the creatures inside them. Minds that you created. They are totally evil.DAVROS: Evil? No. No, I will not accept that. They are conditioned simplyto survive. They can survive only by becoming the dominant species. When all other life forms are suppressed, when the Daleks are the supreme rulers of theuniverse, then you will have peace. Wars will end. They are the power not of evil, but of good.DOCTOR: Davros, if you had created a virus in your laboratory,something contagious and infectious that killed on contact, a virus that would destroy all other forms of life, would you allow its use?DAVROS: It is an interestingconjecture.DOCTOR: Would you do it?DAVROS: The only living thing, a microscopic organism reigning supreme. A fascinating idea.DOCTOR: But would you doit?DAVROS: Yes. Yes. To hold in my hand a capsule that contains such power, to know that life and death on such a scale was my choice. To know that the tinypressure on my thumb, enough to break the glass, would end everything. Yes, I would do it! That power would set me up above the gods. And through theDaleks, I shall have that power!DAVROS: Release me.DOCTOR: No, Davros.DAVROS: Don't touch that switch.DOCTOR: Why not?DAVROS: It controls my lifesupport systems. I could not survive thirty seconds without them.DOCTOR: Order the destruction of the incubator section.DAVROS: Destroy the Daleks?Never.DOCTOR: I mean it, Davros. Next time I press that switch, it stays pressed. Now give the order!DAVROS: Even if I do this, there will be no escape foryou.DOCTOR: I'll take that chance. Now give the order.DAVROS: Press the communicator switch.DAVROS: This is Davros. Elite unit seven will go to the incubatorroom. All survival maintenance systems are to be closed down. The Dalek creatures are to be destroyed.DOCTOR: Tell them the order cannot becountermanded.DAVROS: This order cannotDAVROS: This is Davros, this is Davros. My last order is cancelled, repeat, cancelled. No action is to be taken.NYDER:What do you want done with this?DAVROS: For the moment he must be kept alive. He has knowledge that is vital to our future, and I will drain every last detail ofit from his mind. And then, he will learn the true meaning of pain.NYDER: I will take him to the detention room.DAVROS: The dissidents. What progress are theymaking?NYDER: Feeling against you is rising. Many of the scientific corps are openly speaking against you. Even some of the military are joining them.DAVROS:As I expected.DAVROS: They will take action soon?NYDER: Almost certainly. They outnumber those of us who are loyal. Davros, why don't you let me take asquad of Elite men I can trust? In an hour, I could wipe out their leaders.DAVROS: You think like a soldier, Nyder. Rebellion is an idea in the mind. Suppress it,and it hides away and festers. No. My way is best.NYDER: As you wish. On your feet!DAVROS: All Dalek units! All Dalek units![SCENE_BREAK]DALEK: Davros hascommanded all Dalek units to disengage and return to the bunker immediately.DALEK 2: I obey.[SCENE_BREAK]BETTAN: Shush. There's something moving outthere.SEVRIN: The whole of the Thal city is burning. The Daleks are moving through it, section by section, hunting down the survivors.BETTAN: Then there's noone left?SEVRIN: No, I covered a fairly large area and found no one. No one living, that is.BETTAN: So we're on our own.SEVRIN: You're still going to attack themain entrance though, aren't you?BETTAN: There's no point in delaying any longer. We'll move more safely under the cover of darkness. Come on, get ready,we're moving out.[SCENE_BREAK]NYDER: Open up.HARRY: Not exactly as planned, Sarah.[SCENE_BREAK]HARRY: How's the Doctor?SARAH: I don'tknow.HARRY: He's a bit groggy but he'll be all right.GHARMAN: Come on, Kavell, we've a lot to do.KAVELL: What about the guards? Suppose they won't comeover to our side?GHARMAN: They'll be disarmed and held in custody until we've presented our ultimatum to Davros.DOCTOR: No, wait, wait. Davros knows whatyou're planning. I heard him talking to Nyder.GHARMAN: If he knows, why hasn't he taken action against us?KAVELL: Perhaps because he knows its futile. Thereare too many of us.DOCTOR: No, it's not that. I don't know what he's got prepared for you, but believe me, he's ready.GHARMAN: Well, even so, there'll still betoo many for him.DOCTOR: Just be careful. Be careful.KAVELL: I think we can take care of things. Thanks for the warning.SARAH: No point in telling you to rest, Isuppose?DOCTOR: No, there isn't. We've got to recover that Time Ring.SARAH: Because without it, we'll never get off this planet. But where is it?DOCTOR: It'son the desk in the main laboratory. And then there's that tape recording that Nyder took. We've got to get it back at all costs. It would make the Daleksinvincible. Come on.[SCENE_BREAK]GHARMAN: Ready? Now remember, we resort to violence only if there is no other way.GHARMAN: Stay perfectly still. Taketheir weapons.GHARMAN: No! That was stupid. A stupid waste of life. Our intention has always been to make a bloodless revolution. There's been enough ofkilling and violence. All right, take him away and lock him up with the others.GHARMAN: Start passing these out to our people.KAVELL: Gharman. Gharman,they're coming over to our side in droves. We've the backing of a good eighty percent now.GHARMAN: Good. Good. What about the hard core Davrospeople?KAVELL: They've all been rounded up. We're winning, Gharman. We're winning.GHARMAN: Then let's finish it off.[SCENE_BREAK]NYDER: Davros, they'retaking over. We must act quickly. In another hour they could be totally in control. Do you hear me, Davros? I have a dozen crack men hiding in section nine. Letme order them into action. Davros!DAVROS: I hear you.NYDER: Then what are we going to do?DAVROS: I want you to find their leaders and hand over yourweapons to them.NYDER: Surrender?DAVROS: Order all members of the Elite guards still at liberty to do the same.NYDER: Do you know what you'resaying?DAVROS: I know precisely what I am saying. Now, I will command and you will obey. You will do as I order! You will inform the rebel leaders that I havegiven these orders to avoid bloodshed. Tell them I submit, and will listen to their demands. That is all.NYDER: Then we are admitting that we're beaten.DAVROS:That is what they will believe.NYDER: You mean thatDAVROS: You and they will find out exactly what I mean all in good time. Now carry out myorders.[SCENE_BREAK]DOCTOR: Shush.DOCTOR: Useful. Ah. This is something rather more useful.SARAH: They're explosives, aren't they?DOCTOR: Yes.Explosives and detonators. It seems almost providential.SARAH: Why? What are you going to use them for?DOCTOR: The Time Lord gave me three options.There's only one still open. Genocide.HARRY: Genocide?DOCTOR: Yes. I'm going to kill everything in the incubation room. I'm going to destroy the Daleksforever.[SCENE_BREAK]GHARMAN: Where is Davros?KAVELL: You said that Davros had agreed to meet us here.NYDER: He'll be here.DAVROS: You havesomething to say to me?GHARMAN: Davros, we wish to make our views plain to you concerning our work here.DAVROS: With what authority do you speak? Withwhose backing?GHARMAN: We speak for virtually all the Elite scientific corps and many of the military. We represent the majority.DAVROS: Very well.Continue.GHARMAN: Nobody disputes that in the past, under your guidance, we've made incredible progress in many fields of science.DAVROS: You did not comehere to flatter me. You came to offer an ultimatum. Confine yourself to the terms of that ultimatum.GHARMAN: Very well. The initial concept of the Dalek was tobuild a life support system and a travel machine for the creature that we know our race will ultimately evolve into.DAVROS: You disapprove of that?GHARMAN:"}

The Queen of Jaconda offended the sun god. This way. He inflicted aterrible revenge. He sent a creature, half humanoid, half slug. This creature's offspring were numberless. They ravaged the planet, the population starved. Whenhe saw what he'd done the sun god relented. He sent a drought which destroyed the slugs. The people of Jaconda survived. That's the story as Azmael relatedit.PERI: Now what do you think?DOCTOR: It was more truth than myth. I think some dormant eggs survived.PERI: For how long?DOCTOR: Too long, it seems.Shut off the torch.

So take your positions. We're gonna do passing drills.(The girls get ready to practice.)Ms. Hatzilakos: Oh and canyou clean the pinnies?

Outside the schoolMs. Hatzilakos: So whose ideawas this again?(The girls look at Liberty.)Ms. Hatzilakos: Well I'm not coaching you guys so you can get into a grudge match with the boys over braggingrights.Liberty: It's not about bragging right. It's about a sponsorship.Ms. Hatzilakos: Well why gamble for it? Let Mr. Jeremiah decide.Liberty: He can't so we haveto do this.Ms. Hatzilakos: Look I know this is very important for you, but between school and preparing you girls for the actual competition, I can't help you withthis.

It outlineswhat we have to do to win the regionals.Manny: Yoga. Meditation...and no junk food?Liberty: To achieve perfection, one must envision perfection. Envision,achieve, win. A simple formula. In the gymnasium, the girls are complaining about Liberty's rules(Liberty walks in wearing an outfit like Napoleon's and they allstop talking.)Liberty: Napoleon said if you want authority you must dress the part. I look regal, commanding-Kendra: Stupid.(The girls laugh and Liberty blowsher whistle.)Liberty: Silence!Manny: Liberty I can't practice today. I sort of have my period.Liberty: Manny a true champion doesn't let a silly, little monthlyvisitor stand between her and victory.(Liberty hands Manny a tampon.)Liberty: Now lets get started.

Can I get you anything?Paige: Sure and maybe you could even do mybook report for Kwan. With all this stress you brought me how am I supposed to concentrate?Terri: You're right. I'm there. In the gymnasium, Liberty is goingover the plays(Spinner and Jimmy are outside the gym watching the girls and laughing.)Liberty: You stay on the left wing allowing the fore-checkers to go deep inthe offensive zone.Kendra: What's this play called again?Liberty: The left wing lock. It limits break out space and forces the opposition's defense to carry the puckor bank it up on the boards. Girls this is child's play.(Manny starts giggling.)Liberty: Hey little Ms. Happyface. What's a neutral zone trap, huh?Manny: I don'tknow.Liberty: Page 16. Did you read it? Maybe you don't know how to read!Manny: Why are you picking on me?Liberty: Because you're the weakest link.In thehallwayLiberty: Don't test me Kendra.Kendra: Why not Napoleon?Liberty: If you want to win, you players need to pull together.Kendra: We're not going to winLiberty, not with you barking orders!Liberty: They're not orders. They're plays.Kendra: We don't understand them. They're useless, kind of like you ascoach.(Kendra leaves and Liberty sees a boys jock string taped to her locker.)Liberty: Ew![SCENE_BREAK]In the media immersion roomTerri: Finished.Paige: Teryour head.Terri: Oh I get zits when I'm stressed.

Nobody, Imean me, needs to hear George's rendition of \"Sexy Back\" at three in the morning.Izzie: Yeah, yeah. You should have said something or you know, banged onthe wall.Cristina: It's like living in a youth hostel.Meredith: Well, the important thing is that she and George made up.

How you doing?Colin: Big day today. Good luck to all andsundry.(Colin walks away and Richard walks up)Richard: He has a ten-year plan.Burke: What?Richard: He's presenting the board with a ten-year plan for thesurgical wing.Derek: He's only been here a day.Richard: Did you see that folder? It's full of plans...tweaks for my hospital.(Seattle scenes)(Jane Doe's room, Markis showing her images on a computer screen.)Mark: This is a computer approximation of your original facial structure. Based on the 3D CT scans we did, it's whatyou could look like after reconstructive surgery. Or you could look like this...or this. You don't like them?Jane: It's not that...(Looks at Alex) How does this workexactly?Alex: He'll make an incision along your hairline and then...Jane: It's ok, I can take it.Alex: He'll literally pull your face off.Mark: It sounds a lot worse thanit is. Your face is extremely elastic and pulling it down will allow me to correct the bone fractures underneath without any scarring. And once you've healed, noone will ever know you had the surgery. I'm that good.Addison: He is! It's annoying.Jane: The surgery won't affect my baby?Addison: I'll be monitoring the babythroughout, ok?Jane: Ok. So...then I just have to pick one. Do I have to pick one now?Mark: Take a couple hours and think about it.Jane: Couple hours,yeah.(Bailey and her interns walk into the hall and up to Richard)Richard: Dr. Bailey.Bailey: Chief, Jane Doe's getting a new face today.Richard: Well, that'sexciting. (To Meredith) How are you doing, Mer. You didn't take to much time off after...Meredith: I'm fine, sir. Really. I think working's the best thing I cando.Richard: Like mother, like daughter, huh?Mark: Dr. Grey, what can you tell me about reconstructive neuro floor?Meredith: Uh, you can create a new base fromthe eye socket by harvesting bone from the skull. Dr. Bailey, Dr Grey will be scrubbing in on the Jane Doe case. Come on, I'll show you how to do it withoutbreaking the bone graft into a million pieces.Richard: Congratulations, Dr. Grey.Bailey: Come on, lets go people.(Bailey and her interns walk past a nurse'sstation where Callie is)Callie: Wait, wait, wait, I need to talk to you.Izzie: Why?Callie: To prepare you guys for what you're about to see.Izzie: You meant...youmeant you like us, not me. You don't want to talk to me. You wanna talk to us, about a patient.Callie: That what I just said. This patient has a disease so rare thatyou'll probably never see it again. FOP.Izzie: Oh, Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva.Callie: Uh, yeah. It's a skeletal disease. It turns muscle into bone, it turnsyou into a human statue. So just try to learn and not to stare. Ok?Nina: If you people are interns, you need to stand back.Cathy: Nina, please don't be rude.Nine:My mother still has movement in her face and hands. I'd like to keep it that way, so, please be careful. You press to hard during an exam or bump into heraccidentally it causes a bone to grow where a bone shouldn't grow. So there can be no accidents.Callie: Ok, remember that when you're dealing with hertoday.Cathy: It's just a stomach virus or the flu. I'm sure it's nothing. Nina insisted that I come in...Nina: She was vomiting blood. And going through her painmeds like they were candy. And she has new growths, on her back. No doubt caused by come clumsy interns on her last hospital stay.Callie: Obviously, you'rehaving a flare up of the FOP but really concerns me is the vomiting. So I'm gonna need a CT and see what's going on. (Sees a dollhouse) Oh, did you buildthat?Nina: My mom did.Cathy: No, Nina did it. I used to do it, I'm not able to.Nina: Keeps her active. When she's active she has fewer flare-ups. Plus it keeps herhappy and relaxed.Callie: Good, ok.(Outside Nina's room)Izzie: Can I work in the clinic today?Alex: You don't want the FOP case?Cristina: Clinic, why? What'sgoing on in the clinic?Izzie: Nothing. I just feel clinicy.Cristina: That's not a word. I'll take the clinic.Izzie: Cristina!Bailey: You both can go to the clinic.(Callie isnearby smelling George)Bailey: The board's interviewing chief candidates all day today so were light on surgeries. O'Malley?George: Yes?Bailey: You're with Dr.O'Malley.George: Ok.Alex: What am I supposed to do?Bailey: Find Dr. Montgomery, see if you can help with Jane Doe.George: I showered twice.Callie: It'scoming out of your pores, George. You, reek, you're trembling and there's no way I'm letting you near my patient right now. Dr. Bailey?George: Don't tell Bailey,don't tell Bailey.Callie: Bailey, with Mrs. Rogerson's limited mobility I'm gonna need an extra set of hands.Bailey: Fine, Stevens. Yang will handle the clinic, you'llbe with the O'Malleys today.(Izzie gets out of the elevator. Callie looks annoyed, Izzie looks terrified and George gives her a thumbs up)(Cristina is in the clinicwith Doug Kendry)Doug: It's my foot. It hurts like crazy. I'm gonna need a pain killer, I can't spend the whole day propped on an ice pack.Cristina: You're gonnaneed to take off your shoe.Doug: No, no, no. I've been down this route before. Just slip me a couple pain killers and I'll be on my way.Cristina: Sir, did you, uh,go to medical school? I did. Take off your shoe. You have type two diabetes.Doug: Ten years now.Cristina: Well, you inspect your foot every day, have younoticed anything?Doug: I noticed it hurts. Look, I've got ten guys sitting on their ass waiting for me to show up...Cristina: Sir, I get it. You're in a hurry. Thatmakes two of us. Sock.(Doug takes off his sock to reveal a very nasty sore)Cristina: You need to call your guys and tell them you're not coming in.(Jane Doe'sroom)Meredith: Did you choose a face?Jane: Not yet. I was hoping I'd see one of them and I don't know, recognize myself. I don't recognize any of these women.What if I choose the wrong one? What if my husband or boyfriend or whose ever baby this is, shows up tomorrow with a picture of what I'm supposed to look likebut it's too late, and I'm stuck with the wrong face for the rest of my life?Alex: Ok, that would suck but if you don't pick one...(He holds up a mirror)...this isgonna be your face the rest of your life.(Derek is watching Meredith, who is at a computer)Meredith: Hey.Derek: Hey.Meredith: Shouldn't you be preparing foryour board interview?Derek: I am.(He leans over her shoulder and he smells her hair)Meredith: You're hovering.Derek: No, I'm breathing you in.Meredith: You'rehovering.Derek: Fine, I'm hovering. If Cristina would sleep in her own bed, I wouldn't have to hover at work. I could hover in bed. A different type of hoveringperhaps. How bad is it today? On a scale of one to ten?Meredith: Seven maybe a six.Derek: Good.Meredith: You know what's gonna make it even better thanthat?Derek: Uh-huh, what?Meredith: Calverian bone harvest I get to do on Sloan's Jane Doe later.Derek: Sloan's gonna let you do a harvest? Byyourself?Meredith: By myself. Which makes me very cool in the eyes of my dead mother, by the way.Derek: Ok, then. I better let you study.Meredith: Better stopdistracting me. I will not be cool in the eyes of my dead mother if I mame Jane Doe.(CT Room)George: We're gonna need you to lie very still Mrs.Rogerson.Cathy: I think I can do that Dr. O'Malley.George: Sorry about that, Mrs. Rogerson. I'm never gonna drink again. I can't believe I have to be presentable"}

He awakens and finds that he has a tattoo on his arm that reads\"Chesty.\" There is a half-empty bottle of tequila on a table across from the bed. A shower is running, but then stops suddenly. Frasier props himself up on somepillows and folds him arms behind his head, expectantly.Out from the bathroom steps Gil Chesterton - wearing only a towel.Gil: Well, look who's up!SMASH CUTTO: Frasier sits up in bed - his own bed. The previous scene had been a dream - or a nightmare, considering Frasier's panic-strickenreaction.[SCENE_BREAK]WHY GIL? WHY NOW?Scene Two - KACL. Frasier is listening to a young male caller, Jimmy.Jimmy: [v.o.] So it's my parents. I don'tknow, they're just like, really stupid.Frasier: [bored] May I ask how old you are?Jimmy: Fourteen.Frasier: Well, hang on, Jimmy. Your parents are going to bestupid for another seven years.Jimmy: Whoa! Seven years? That's like, longer than I'll be in high school!Frasier: I salute your optimism. [disconnects] We'll beright back after this.He goes off air as Roz enters his booth.Frasier: Oh god, Roz. A teenager who's embarrassed by his parents? I mean, please. Can't you comeup with something a little more challenging for me?Roz: Well, it was either him or our old pal, Rudy the Crier.Frasier: Oh, Rudy the Crier. Oh God. He's been onthree times in the last month. You put him on again, he won't be the only one who's crying. God, I'm in a dry spell. Where are the souls in genuine torment? Thepeople teetering on the brink of genuine despair?Roz: Oh, they'll be back. The holidays are just around the corner.Frasier: Well, perhaps you're right. Oh, Roz,I've got a question I'd like to ask you.Roz: Shoot.Frasier: Have you ever had a recurring dream of an intimate nature about someone... oh, a... well, aco-worker?Roz: [disgusted] Oh, no. Why'd you tell me?Frasier: Oh, Roz!Roz: Oh, now it's gonna be creepy everytime you look at me through the glass!Frasier:Roz, not you!Roz: [intrigued] So who is it then?Frasier: Oh, I'm not going to go into the specifics.Roz: Gina in accounting?Frasier: Look, I'm not gonna dothis!Roz: Sheila, the slow intern?Frasier: Forget I even mentioned it.Gil enters. He's hiding something behind his back.Gil: Knock knock...Frasier: [suddenlynervous] Gil? [Roz eyes Frasier suspiciously]Gil: Frasier, I've come to tempt you.Frasier: [scared] Really?Gil: I'm reviewing the new pastry chef at Chez Shea.[reveals aneclair] And I quote: \"His amaretto eclair is so sinful, it will send you scurrying to your local padre for absolution.\"Frasier: Uh... no, thank you, Gil. I'mon a diet.Gil: Oh, come now! You know you want it...Frasier: [jumping up] Oh, no no no... I really don't! [shoos Gil out the door] Off you go.

The scene DISSOLVES to another caller - Rudy the Crier.Rudy: [v.o.] ...just lying there in thehospital bed. She lifted her head off the pillow, looked up and said, \"I love you,\" and then she was gone. [cries]Frasier: Rudy, stop crying. We've gone over thisbefore. What was our agreement about sad movies?Rudy: I shouldn't watch them. [cries]Frasier: Exactly. Now go get a cool washcloth and try to bring down thepuffiness around your eyes. Please... stay away from sad or depressing things... which, at this moment, includes listening to the Dr. Frasier Crane Show.[disconnects] Well, let's shoot it to the news. That's it for today. This is Dr. Frasier Crane. [he goes off air and Roz enters] Oh, my God! Well, close the recordbooks. That was just the dullest three hours in the history of the Frasier Crane Show!Roz: Oh, come on. It wasn't so bad. What about that woman who was soconcerned about her appearance she wouldn't leave the house?Frasier: That was a commercial! I believe Miss Clairol solved the problem! Well, I'll see youtomorrow. [he moves to exit, then turns back] Oh! Oh, Roz... about that dream I mentioned to you earlier... uh... this goes without saying, but I'd rather youdidn't share that with anyone else.Roz: Oh, sure.Betty: [passing by] Hi, dreamboy!Frasier: [to Roz] I hate you! Couldn't keep your big mouth shut, could you?Just exactly when did you find the time to spread the news?Roz: You don't think I was listening to your show, do you?Bulldog enters.Bulldog: Comin' through! Oh,Doc... I got to rub this one in a little...Frasier: All right, look, Bulldog... before you start to ridicule me, yes, yes I had a dream about Gil. And yes, it had someerotic elements, but... [notices Bulldog's surprised expression] You have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about, do you?Bulldog: I do now! Whoa![laughs]Frasier: Look, let's just forget it. What delightful little jibe did you have prepared for me?Bulldog: Oh, I was gonna tell you your show today just broke thesnooze meter, but now I want to hear about you greasin' Gil's cookie sheet! [honks horn]Frasier: I'm on a bus toHell.[SCENE_BREAK]PSYCHIATRIST...CRANE...FRASIER...NILES...IDIOTSScene Three - Cafe Nervosa. Frasier and Niles are standing at the counter. Niles isrelaying a story to a bored Frasier.Niles: So I returned to the dry-cleaners yet a third time. I hardly need to tell you how the story ends.Frasier: Just tell me whenthe story ends.Niles: [miffed] Fine. They realigned my pleats, The End.Frasier: Sorry, Niles. [they get their coffees and sit at a nearby table] I'm just a bitdistracted today. You see, this morning, a... a man from my building approached me with a very intriguing problem. It seems he's been having a recurringdream.Niles: Oh, please. That little gambit didn't work when we were in knee socks. What was your dream, Frasier?Frasier: Oh, all right! It's been tormentingme. I haven't been able to sleep in weeks now. It's a bit hazy but... it starts out in a seedy motel room. I'm naked.Niles: Interesting.Frasier: Yes, well... I roll overand discover on my forearm a tattoo: the word \"Chesty.\"Niles: Interesting.Frasier: Then the shower turns off and out from the bathroom steps... a man. [pause]All right, go ahead, let me have it!Niles: Are you saying that now, or is that a quote from the dream?Frasier: [annoyed] Please? We're both too intelligent towaste time on the obvious interpretation.Niles: Yes. But you must admit, it's rather intriguing. [chuckles]Frasier: Would you stop? It's obviously screaming for aJungian interpretation. The sexuality in the dream is surely symbolic of some deeper, non-sexual conflict.Niles: All right.Gil approaches the table with a smug grinon his face.Gil: Good afternoon, Frasier.Frasier: Gil.Gil: A little birdie tells me I was featured in your midnight movie.Frasier: That's very clever. Off you go.Gil:Very well. I'll see you tomorrow. Or should I say, \"See you in your dreams\"? [exits]Niles: In this dream of yours, were there any cigars, bananas or short, bluntswords?Frasier: Would you stop it?! I'm 43 - a little late for latency.Rebecca, the waitress, comes over.Rebecca: You guys okay over here?Niles: Oh, we'refine.Frasier: [flirting] Well... you must be new here. I surely would have remembered such a pretty face as yours.Niles: You're overcompensating.Frasier: Right.We're fine. Bye-bye. [she leaves] I'm just baffled, Niles. Obviously, Gil Chesterton explains \"Chesty\" but little else.Niles: Perhaps you should tackle this from afree-association standpoint.Frasier: God, must we?Niles: Well, now... focus on any detail in the motel room. What's the first thing that pops into yourmind?Frasier: Uh... a crescent-shaped lamp.Niles: Perfect - crescent-shaped lamp. Run with that. Crescent... moon... Daphne Moon... French maid... brass bed...satin robe...Frasier: Niles! This is my dream!Niles: I was just showing you the process.Frasier: You were three words away from a cigarette!Niles: [outraged] Yourturn!Frasier: All right.Niles: Crescent lamp.Frasier: Crescent... croissant... butter... apricot jam... hunger... food... diet! My God, I've been on a diet. Do you thinkthat's useful?Niles: You could stand to lose a few pounds.Frasier: Just wait a minute. Gil is a restaraunt critic - a gourmet. Perhaps he's symbolic of the food I'vebeen denying myself.Niles: That would explain why you're naked in the dream. It's when we're naked that we're most self-conscious about our bodies.Frasier:Yes, and most vulnerable to the way society \"tattoos\" us with labels about our appearance! God, that's it, Niles! The dream is simply telling me that I've been toorigid about my diet!Niles: Well, you'll know tonight. If this is the correct interpretation, the conflict will have passed from your unconscious to your consciousmind.Frasier: Yes, the dream will have served its purpose.Niles: And you will no longer be plagued by it.Frasier: Oh, God, Niles. I've nailed it all right. I reallyhave. Finally, for the first time in weeks they'll be no tequila bottles, no tattoo, no half-naked man in my bed. [he looks up to see Rebecca standing at their table]So then, the Rabbi says...[SCENE_BREAK]Scene Four - The Motel Room. Once again, Frasier is in bed. The tequila bottle is still there, and he still has the tattoo.The shower turns off and out from the bathroom steps a rather buxom woman wearing only a towel. Frasier looks pleasantly surprised.Woman: Oh, I'm sorry...wrong room. [leaves]Frasier's expression turns to disappointment. Gil suddenly appears lying next to Frasier in bed.Gil: That does it. We're finding anothermotel.SMASH CUT TO: Frasier again wakes up from his dream in a panic. He notices something under the covers next to him. He cautiously pulls back the coversto reveal Eddie.

It would take forever.Leonard: We've got to be missing something. Let's startagain. The movie is playing here at 7:20, here at 7:40, here at 8:10 and here at 8:45.Sheldon: Right, these theatres have to be eliminated.Leonard: Why?They're state-of-the-art digital projection, 20-channel surround sound.Sheldon: Yes, but they have no Icee machines. Despite my aggressive letter-writingcampaign, I might add.Raj: What about the multiplex here? The seats are terrific.Sheldon: They have Twizzlers instead of Red Vines. No amount of lumbarsupport can compensate for that.Leonard: Well, it's gonna take at least an hour to eat, and I don't see a Sheldon-approved restaurant proximate to aSheldon-approved theatre.Raj: We could eat after the movie.Sheldon: Unacceptable, the delay would result in tomorrow morning's bowel movement occurring atwork.Raj: Hang on, hang on. There's a 7-Eleven here. We smuggle Slurpies, which are essentially Icees, in under our coats, after having a pleasant meal eitherhere, here or here.Howard: Wow. I don't see how we missed that.Sheldon: Excuse me, in what universe are Slurpies Icees?Raj: That's how we missed it.Leonard:Sheldon, would you be prepared, on a non-precedential basis, to create an emergency ad-hoc Slurpie-Icee equivalency?Sheldon: Oh, Leonard, you know I can'tdo that.Howard: Okay, I guess we only have one option.Raj: Yep, I don't see any way around it.Leonard: Bye, Sheldon.Howard: See ya.Raj: Later, dude.Sheldon:They're right, it was the only option.

Sheldon shuts door. Penny opens door again) Get inside and shut thedoor.Sheldon: Well, you didn't specify.Penny: Is Leonard around?Sheldon: He went to the movies without me. It was the only option. I'm sorry, I don'tunderstand which social situation this is. Could you give me some guidance as to how to proceed?Penny: The building manager's showing an apartmentdownstairs, and I haven't paid my rent.Sheldon: Oh, I see. Penny, I'm not sure I'm comfortable harbouring a fugitive from the 2311 North Los RoblesCorporation.Penny: It's no big deal. I'm just a little behind on my bills because they cut back my hours at the restaurant and my car broke down.Sheldon: If yourecall, I pointed out the \"check engine\" light to you several months ago.Penny: Well the \"check engine\" light is fine. It's still blinking away. It's the stupid enginethat stopped working. It cost me like twelve hundred dollars to fix it.Sheldon: You know, it occurs to me you could solve all your problems by obtaining moremoney.Penny: Yes, it occurs to me, too.Sheldon: Hang on a moment. (He opens a jar. Snakes jump out. He then pulls out a large wedge of money) Here. Takesome. Pay me back when you can.Penny: Wow, you got a lot of money in there.Sheldon: That's why it's guarded by snakes. Take some.Penny: Don't besilly.Sheldon: I'm never silly. Here.Penny: No, I can't.Sheldon: Don't you need money?Penny: Well, yeah, but...Sheldon: This is money I'm not using.Penny: Butwhat if you need it?Sheldon: My expenses account for 46.9% of my after-tax income. The rest is divvied up between a small savings account, this deceptivecontainer of peanut brittle and the hollowed-out buttocks of a superhero action figure who shall remain nameless for his own protection. Or her own protection.Take some.Penny: Really? I mean, are you sure?Sheldon: I see no large upcoming expenditures unless they develop an affordable technology to fuse my skeletonwith adamantium like Wolverine.Penny: Are they working on that?Sheldon: I sincerely hope so.Penny: Okay. Well, thank you. Oh, God, no, I can't. Sheldonhoney, I don't want things to be weird between us.Sheldon: Won't it also be weird if I have to say hello to you every morning on my way to work and you're livingin a refrigerator box and washing your hair with rain water?Penny: I'll pay you back as soon as I can.Sheldon: Of course you will. It's impossible to pay me backsooner than you can. Assuming you subscribe to a linear understanding of time and causality.Penny: I'm regretting this already.Scene: Entering the lobby of thebuilding.Sheldon: You know, I've given the matter some thought, and I think I'd be willing to be a house pet to a race of super-intelligent aliens.Leonard:Interesting.Sheldon: Ask me why.Leonard: Do I have to?Sheldon: Of course. That's how you move a conversation forward.Leonard: Why?Sheldon: The learningopportunities would be abundant. Additionally, I like having my belly scratched.Leonard: Hey, Penny. How was work?Penny: Great. I hope I'm a waitress at theCheesecake Factory for my whole life.Sheldon: Was that sarcasm?Penny: No.Sheldon: Was that sarcasm?Penny: Yes.Sheldon: Was that sarca..Leonard: Stopit!Sheldon: Penny, you appear to have a package here.Penny: Oh, thanks. This must be the beret I ordered. A couple of months ago. It wasback-ordered.Sheldon: Did you know the beret is an example of piece of women's fashion adapted from male military uniforms? Another fascinating example isthe epaulet.Leonard: He's not lying, he does find that fascinating.Penny: Okay, whatever. It's not like I'm running up and down the streets just buying myselfberets. I bought one, like, a month ago, and it was back-ordered, look, it finally arrived, all right?Sheldon: All right.Penny: Oh, my God, would you just get off mycase?Leonard: Weird.Sheldon: Oh, good, that was an unusual interaction. I wasn't sure.Leonard: Did you guys have an argument?Sheldon: No.Leonard: Well,you clearly did something to aggravate her.Sheldon: I'm at a loss. If you like, you can review my daily log of social interactions and see if there's a blunder Ioverlooked.Scene: The apartment.Leonard: Here you go. Oh, you owe me another two dollars. The price of mu-shu pork went up.Howard: It's getting tougherand tougher to be a bad Jew.Leonard: Here you go, Penny. Shrimp with lobster sauce.Penny: Thank you, Leonard. What's my share?Leonard: Don't worry aboutit. It's my treat.Penny: No, really, how much?Leonard: It's, whatever. Ten, eleven dollars.Penny: Well, which is it, ten or eleven?Leonard: Fourteen fifty, but it'sno biggie, you'll get the next one. (Raj whispers something to Howard)Penny: What?Howard: He was just wondering if he wore skintight jeans and a tank top ifhe'd get his shrimp lo mein for free.Penny: What are you saying? That I'm using my body to get dinner? That I'm some kind of Chinese food prostitute?Howard:Yeah, Raj, what are you saying?Penny: 'Cause let me tell you something, buddy, I pay my own way in this world, okay? I don't rely on anybody! (Raj runs out ofthe room) What was that about?Howard: He has a nervous bladder when he's stressed out. Kind of like a puppy.Penny: Here, Leonard, ten, eleven, twelve, uh,fourteen dollars.Leonard: It was fourteen fifty, but it's okay.Sheldon: Oh, good. Dinner's here.Penny: Yes, dinner's here, and I'm having some. I'm having takeoutfood.Sheldon: Okay.Penny: You're damn right it's okay. I've been having leftovers at the restaurant for like four days, and I wanted something different. So sueme.Sheldon: Forgive me, Penny, but that would be the very definition of a frivolous lawsuit.Penny: Sheldon, look, I will pay you back as soon as I can. You justhave to give me more time.Leonard: Oh, wait, you lent her money?Penny: She needed money. You seem under pressure. Did I not lend you a sufficient amount?Because I can give you more.Penny: Oh, you know, you would just love that, wouldn't you? Yeah. You would just love to open up your little snake can and throwsome money at the girl who can't pay her bills.Leonard: Where are you going?Penny: Going home, where I won't be interrogated like a criminal. I forgot myfortune cookie.Sheldon: In case either of you have larceny in your heart, you should know that I've moved my money out of the snake can.Leonard: But if you'reever short, there's always a couple of fifties in Green Lantern's ass.Scene: Penny's apartment.Leonard: Hey.Penny: Hey.Leonard: A little mood lighting,huh?Penny: Yeah. When I didn't pay my bill, the Department of Water and Power thought I would enjoy the ambience.Leonard: Yeah, they're very consideratethat way.Penny: I used Sheldon's money to pay my rent, then I had like fourteen dollars left over.Leonard: Fourteen dollars, huh?Penny: Put it back in yourpocket, or I'll find some other place to put it.Leonard: Back in the pocket it goes. Look, you do understand that Sheldon really doesn't care when he gets themoney back. It's actually one of the few idiosyncrasies that doesn't make you want to, you know, kill him.Penny: Yeah, well, that's not really my bigproblem.Leonard: So you're a little behind on your bills. Everybody gets behind on their bills.Penny: Yeah, I know, it's just, this wasn't the plan, it wasn'tsupposed to go this way.Leonard: Well, what was the plan?Penny: Um, waitress for six months and then become a movie star.Leonard: Was there a planB?Penny: TV star.Leonard: It's probably not as bad as you think. Let's take a look. Maybe we can find some corners to cut. Oh, here's something, if you don'thave electricity, then you probably don't need cable. Just a suggestion. 170 dollars for acting classes?Penny: Oh, no, I can't give up my acting classes. I'm aprofessional actress.Leonard: You've had an acting job where you got paid?Penny: That is not the definition of professional.Leonard: Actually, it kind of... let'skeep looking. Whoa, what's eighteen hundred dollars to the Los Angeles County Superior Court?Penny: Oh, that's nothing.Leonard: Nothing? It sounds like yougot caught speeding going 4,000 miles an hour.Penny: Well, remember Kurt?Leonard: Your ex-boyfriend?Penny: Yeah. He got arrested for taking a whiz on a copcar.Leonard: What?Penny: He was drunk.Leonard: I would hope so.Penny: Anyway, he had a bunch of outstanding tickets and a bench warrant, so I, you know, Ipaid his fines.Leonard: Did he pay you back?Penny: No, but he will.Leonard: And that's based on the inherent credit-worthiness of people who get drunk andurinate on police vehicles?Penny: Leonard, I'm not gonna call up Kurt and ask him for money.Leonard: Well what are you gonna do?Penny: I don't know, but Imay have to find a cheaper place to live.Leonard: Oh, no. Oh, you don't want to do that.Penny: Why not?Leonard: Well, moving is a big deal. You have to go tothe supermarket and get boxes, and if they're not clean, then your books smell like melons, and it's just, like... Why don't you just get a roommate and stayhere?Penny: Well, do you know anybody?Leonard: Well, I'm sure the guy living with Sheldon wouldn't mind moving in with you.Penny: Oh, Leonard, honey, if westarted living together, I wouldn't be able to keep my hands off you.Leonard: Really?Penny: And you thought my acting lessons were a waste ofmoney.[SCENE_BREAK]Scene: The apartment.Howard: Ugh.

You could, uh...ask her to sign your yearbook, that's always a good way to start a conversation.Dawson: Mom,I appreciate the effort, but aside from that being a painfully lame idea, that's such a thinly veiled attempt at a reconciliation I'm not even sure there's a veilthere.Gale: Well, then I'm sure you'll think of something better.

I want you to look me in the eyes and tell me that this is notabout sending me to college.Grams: Look, I admit that money from the house will primarily go towards your tuition. But that is not the only reason for mydecision.Jen: All right. Well, then by all means, enlighten me.Grams: [Sigh] You are moving on to the next phase in your life, and I need to do the same. Which iswhy I've decided to move to La Brea Park.Jen: Ok. Run that by me one more time because when you say La Brea Park, I think retirement community withbunnies and lawn bowling tournaments, and aside from your habitual knitting and your penchant for Metamucil, you-- you're far too young and far too hip to beliving in a place like that.Grams: Jennifer, just because a community has the word retirement in front of it doesn't automatically mean it's a bad place.

You're lucky.Raynor: Forgive me.(Ranor holds out his hand.Cole hesitates for a moment, then shakes it.)Cole: How could I not? After all, you taught me everything I know.Raynor: Well, not everything.Cole: How long wasI out?Raynor: Long enough for us to investigate reports that you crossed over to the other side.(Cole walks over to some water.)Cole: Rumours, notreports.Tarkin: Don't worry, we don't blame you for the failed hit last week. Even if you were seduced by one of the witches that thwarted our plan.(Cole wipessome water on his neck.)Cole: I already explained to you that I was over her.Tarkin: Yeah, but you didn't explain that she was one of the Charmed Ones.Raynor:It doesn't matter that you're straight, Belthazor, as long as you're back. To that end, I have an assignment for you. Something that only your powers can achieve.I need you to get me a magical amulet, one that's hanging from the neck of a witch. Problem?Cole: Just that it's a little bit risky, don't you think? Sending meafter a witch with the Charmed Ones on my trail?Raynor: Tarkin will provide backup. That way if they show up you can catch them by surprise. That should takecare of all our problems now, shouldn't it?Cole: Where do I get the amulet? (Raynor waves his hand in front of Cole's face.) This shouldn't take long.(Coleshimmers out.)Tarkin: Think he'll actually get the amulet?Raynor: Yes, but not before he tells his beloved witch what he's about to do. Then that should plant thefirst seed of suspicion in her heart.[Scene: Manor. Phoebe's room. Phoebe is sitting in front of the mirror putting on makeup. Cole shimmers in behind her. Shesees his reflection in the mirror.]Phoebe: Promise me when I turn around you'll still be there.(She quickly turns around. She walks over to him and they kisspassionately.)Cole: I've missed you so much.Phoebe: I've missed you too.Cole: They've given me an assignment. One that if I turn down...Phoebe: What do youmean an assignment? What kind of assignment?Cole: I can't tell you.Phoebe: Wh--(Cole sits down on the bed.)Cole: They've asked me to steal an amulet from awitch.Phoebe: A witch?Cole: Don't worry, I won't hurt her.Phoebe: Oh, well, that's good news, Cole. You can't do this!Cole: You think I want to, damn it! (He getsback up and walks across the room.) Phoebe, I just have to buy some time so I can figure a way out. In the mean time, I have to at least pretend like I'mevil.Phoebe: No, but don't you see? If you turn into Belthazor, then you will be evil.Cole: What makes you think I'll have to?Phoebe: Well, because an amuletprotects. It takes someone of great strength to overcome that. Why do you think they choose you?Cole: To set me up perhaps. (He sits back on the bed.) Raynormay be on to me.Phoebe: Who's Raynor?Cole: He's the head of the brotherhood. And my old mentor. He has the power to read thoughts, and if he's readmine...(Phoebe kneels beside him.)Phoebe: Prue and I will come with you, and watch your back.Cole: No, no, no, you can't. That could be exactly what Raynor'sexpecting you do. He could be setting me up to get to you. I have to do this alone.Phoebe: Cole, I...(He pulls her up on the bed and puts his arms aroundher.)Cole: Trust me, okay? I know what I am doing. Just concentrate on finishing the potion. If it works, Belthazor will disappear and Raynor won't be able totrack me. Then, (they kiss) we can be together.(They kiss again and Cole shimmers out in the middle. Phoebe sighs.)[Cut to the stairs. Phoebe runs downthem.]Phoebe: Prue? Prue?(Prue runs in.)Prue: Hey, what's wrong?Phoebe: Cole's in trouble, I need your help.Prue: Uh, okay, anything.Phoebe: We need to scryfor a witch, fast.Prue: Alright.(They run up the stairs.)[Cut to a Wicca shop. A witch is there. Cole shimmers in.]Witch: Who are you? How did you get inhere?Cole: Just do exactly as I say and I won't hurt you. Just take off the amulet and put it down.Witch: I've been sworn to protect it.Cole: And I've been orderedto steal it. (She backs away.) Don't fight me. I beg you.(He reaches out for the amulet. A blue light shoots out of it and he is thrown back into boxes. He getsback up.)Witch: You can't take it from me.Cole: Maybe I can't.(He changes into Belthazor.)Belthazor: But I can. (He walks over to the witch. A bright blue lightshields the witch. He reaches through the shield and takes the amulet from around her neck. The shield disappears. He grabs her, then realises what he's doingand lets go.) Tell no one about the amulet. Not even your Whitelighter.(He shimmers out.)[Scene: Passport Agency. Piper and Leo are waiting in line. Leo is fillingout a form.]Leo: Whitelighter. Is that my occupation or should I just put guardian angel?(An elderly lady waiting in the line in front of them turns around.)Piper:Hi, how you doing? (She turns back around.) (to Leo) What's the matter with you?Leo: We shouldn't be here, Piper, this is wrong.Piper: Wanting a normal life isnot wrong, okay? In fact, it couldn't be anymore right. For crying out loud, stop being so good all the time. (The lady gives her a look.) Ha, newlyweds, first fight.Eyes front.(The lady turns back to the front.)Leo: Piper...Piper: Leo, look, I love you, but I'm getting a migraine here, okay? Just, look, we're not hurting anyone,we're not breaking any commandments, okay? We just changed a lousy two to a lousy seven. So let go before I blow. (The line moves.) Okay, we're almostthere.(The Elders call Leo.)Leo: Uh-oh.Piper: What? Oh no. No-no-no-no-no, no. You can not leave right now, okay. Pretend you're, pretend you're out.Leo: Ican't do that.Piper: Yes, you can. Come on.Leo: I've gotta go.Piper: Leo, you can't go right now, okay. We've been in this line for two and a half freakin' hours!(She points at the clock and it blows up. Everyone in the line ducks. Piper looks around.) Uh-oh.[Cut to the Wicca shop. Raynor appears. He looks around andsees the witch hiding in the corner.]Witch: Who are you? If you've come for the amulet, it's gone.Raynor: And yet you're still here. Living proof that Belthazor hasindeed gone soft.Witch: Belthazor?Raynor: The demon that'll be blamed for your death.(He throws an energy bolt at her. She screams anddisappears.)[SCENE_BREAK][Scene: Wicca Shop. Prue and Phoebe walk in. They look around.]Phoebe: Anything?Prue: No.Phoebe: Do you think maybe wescryed for the wrong witch?Prue: I don't think so.(Prue sees burnt curtains and black marks on the wall.)Phoebe: Scorch marks.

Rose smiles excitedly.ROSE (CONT'D): What's out there?The Doctor gestures again.Rose steps outside the doors.INT. VIEWING GALLERYRose finds herself in some kind of wooden room. The Doctor follows her and with his sonic screwdriver,opens the shutters of an enormous window. They go down the stairs and find themselves looking down on the planet Earth.THE DOCTOR: You lot. You spend allyour time thinking about dying. Like you're going to get killed by eggs or beef or global warming or asteroids. But you never take time to imagine the impossible.Maybe you survive.

Guests are reminded that platform 1 forbids the use of weapons, teleportation and religion. Earth Deathis scheduled for 15:39, followed by drinks in the Manchester Suite.INT. PLATFORM ONE, CORRIDORRose and the Doctor are walking down a corridor.ROSE: So,when it says 'guests' does that mean people?THE DOCTOR: Depends what you mean by people.ROSE: I mean people. What do you mean?THE DOCTOR:Aliens.ROSE: What are they doing on board this spaceship? What's it all for?The Doctor starts to open a door with his sonic screwdriver.THE DOCTOR: It's notreally a spaceship. More like an observation deck. The great and the good are gathering to watch the planet burn.ROSE: What for?THE DOCTOR: Fun.INT. THEMANCHESTER SUITEThey enter a large observation gallery.THE DOCTOR: Mind you, when I said the great and the good, what I mean is, the rich.ROSE: But, holdon, they did this once on \"Newsround Extra\", the sun expanding, that takes hundreds of years.THE DOCTOR: Millions. But the planet's now property of theNational Trust. They've been keeping it preserved. See down there? (Points out of the window at tiny glints of light orbiting the Earth). Gravity satellite. That'sholding back the sun.ROSE (peering out of the window at Earth). The planet looks the same as ever. I thought the continents shifted and things.THE DOCTOR:They did. And the trust shifted them back. That's a classic Earth. But now the money's run out, nature takes over!ROSE: How long has it got?The Doctor looks athis watch.THE DOCTOR: About half an hour.

That's nice, thanks.STEWARD: But how did you get in? This is a maximum hospitality zone. The guests have disembarked! They're on their way any secondnow!THE DOCTOR: That's me, I'm a guest, look! I've got an invitation! (Flashes a small leather wallet at the Steward). Look, there you see? It's fine, see? TheDoctor plus one. I'm the Doctor, this is Rose Tyler. She's my plus one. That all right?STEWARD: Well... obviously. (Doctor grins). Apologies, et cetera. If you'reon-board, we'd better start. Enjoy.The Doctor nods at him. After the steward walks off, the Doctor shows Rose the card he had flashed at the steward. It iscompletely blank.THE DOCTOR: The paper's slightly psychic. Shows them whatever I want them to see. Saves a lot of time.ROSE: He's blue.THE DOCTOR:Yeah.ROSE: Okay...The steward is now speaking through a microphone at the other end of the suite.STEWARD: We have in attendance, the Doctor and RoseTyler. Thank you! All staff to their positions.He claps his hands and a lot of little blue people (the staff) start scurrying around.STEWARD (CONT'D): Hurry now!Thank you, as quick as we can! Come along, come along! And now, might I introduce the next honoured guest, representing the forest of Cheem, we have Trees.Namely, Jabe, Lute and Coffa.Jabe, Lute and Coffa walk through the doors.STEWARD (CONT'D): There will be an exchange of gifts representing peace. If you cankeep the room circulating, thank you. Next, from the solicitors Jolco and Jolco, the Moxx of Balhoon.The Doctor smiles cheerily, as Rose looks onbewildered.STEWARD (CONT'D): And next, from Financial Family Seven, we have the Adherents of the Repeated Meme.The Doctor chuckles at the look on Rose'sface.STEWARD (CONT'D): The inventors of hyposlip travel systems, the brothers Hop Pyleen.

I bring you a cutting of my Grandfather.THE DOCTOR: Thank you! (Gives it to Rose). Yes, gifts... erm...He clears his throat and starts feeling hisjacket for something, finding nothing, he says :THE DOCTOR (CONT'D): I give you in return, air from my lungs.He blows gently onto Jabe's face, who closes hereyes briefly.JABE: How... intimate.THE DOCTOR (flirtatiously): There's more where that came from.JABE: I bet there is...Rose has the sort of look on her facethat is to be expected of someone who has just witnessed their companion flirting with a tree.STEWARD: Sponsor of the main event, please welcome the Face ofBoe.A huge head in an equally huge jar is wheeled through the doors. The Moxx of Balhoon approaches the Doctor and Rose.THE DOCTOR: The Moxx ofBalhoon.MOXX OF BALHOON: My felicitations on this historical happenstance. I give you the gift of bodily saliva.He spits accurately into Rose's left eye.THEDOCTOR (laughs): Thank you very much.Rose rubs the spit out of her eye. Next, the Adherents of the Repeated Meme approach them.THE DOCTOR (CONT'D):Ah! The Adherents of the Repeated Meme. I bring you air from my lungs.He breathes heavily over them all.ADHERENT: A gift of peace in all good faith.He holdsout a large silver egg, which the Doctor takes, throws up into the air, catches, and hands to Rose.STEWARD: And last but not least, our very special guest. Ladiesand Gentlemen, and Trees and Multiforms. Consider the Earth below. In memory of this dying world, we call forth The Last Human.The Doctor looks at Rose tosee her reaction. The sliding doors open and what looks like a vertical trampoline made of human skin is wheeled through. It has eyes and a mouth, and wearslipstick.STEWARD: The Lady Cassandra O'Brien Dot Delta Seventeen.CASSANDRA: Oh, now, don't stare. I know, I know it's shocking, isn't it? I've had my chincompletely taken away and look at the difference! Look how thin I am.The Doctor laughs silently but heartily and looks at Rose, who looks shocked.CASSANDRA(CONT'D): Thin and dainty! I don't look a day over two thousand. Moisturize me, moisturize me.One of the two men in white body suits who wheeled her in isholding a canister, which he sprays onto Cassandra.CASSANDRA (CONT'D): Truly, I am The Last Human.Rose creeps closer for a better look.CASSANDRA: Myfather was a Texan. My mother was from the Arctic Desert. They were born on the Earth and were the last to be buried in the soil.Rose has been walking aroundto the other side of Cassandra, to get a good view of her from all angels. She is completely flat.CASSANDRA: I have come to honour them and... (Sniffs)...saygoodbye. Oh, no tears. (Bodyguard wipes her eyes). No tears. I'm sorry. But behold! I bring gifts. From Earth itself, the last remaining ostrich egg.One of thestaff comes in and displays the egg to the room.CASSANDRA (CONT'D): Legend says it had a wingspan of 50 feet and blew fire from its nostrils.Rose looks mildlyconfused.CASSANDRA (CONT'D): Or was that my third husband?Rose rolls her eyes but the Doctor laughs.CASSANDRA: Who knows! Oh don't laugh. I'll getlaughter lines!She laughs and mumbles to herself for a few seconds. Behind her, a large jukebox is wheeled into the room.CASSANDRA (CONT'D): And here,another rarity. According to the archives, this was called an iPod. It stores classical music from humanity's greatest composers.Rose looks amazed.CASSANDRA(CONT'D): Play on!One of the staff presses a button and a record falls into place. The 'iPod' starts playing Tainted Love by Soft Cell. The Doctor bops aroundappreciatively.STEWARD: Refreshments will now be served. Earth Death in 30 minutes.Rose has a lost, overwhelmed expression on her face. Everywhere shelooks there are aliens, but no other humans. She rushes from the gallery. Concerned, the Doctor starts to follow her, but is stopped by Jabe.JABE: Doctor? (Shesnaps a photo of him when he pauses). Thank you.The Doctor proceeds on. Jabe walks in the opposite direction. The Adherents of the Repeated Meme areoffering the Steward a silver egg.ADHERENT: A gift of peace in all good faith.STEWARD: No, you're very kind, but I'm just the Steward.The Adherents of theRepeated Meme holds the egg out more persistently.ADHERENT: A gift of peace in all good faith.STEWARD: Oh, yes. Thank you. Of course.He takes the egg.Meanwhile, Jabe is trying to get her computer to identify the Doctor's species.JABE: Identify species. Please identify species.The computer makes a smallwhistling noise.JABE (CONT'D): Now, stop it. Identify his race. Where's he from? (After a moment, stares at the computer in disbelief, hushed). It's impossible.Ina nearby glass cabinet, a metal robotic spider climbs out of one of the metal eggs that the Adherents of the Repeated Meme had been handing out.INT.PLATFORM ONE ROOM, SHAFTRose, in another part of the ship, looks out of a window at the raging sun. She jumps when another one of the staff comes into theroom, this one female.

The Macy's balloons are filled with helium, whereas Leonardproduces copious amounts of methane.Leonard: So, no, on the Shepherd's Pie. Can we move on?Penny: Yeah, a little tip: he says he can eat frozen yoghurt. Donot believe it.Leonard: Sea bass. I'll have the sea bass.Howard: You gotta like this, the girlfriend and the ex-girlfriend bonding over your rooty-tooty stinkybooty.Leonard: Kill me.Sheldon: It wouldn'help. The human body is capable of being flatulent for hours after death.Bernadette: Guys, sorry I'm late. I haveamazing news.Sheldon: Bernadette, before you change the subject, does anyone have any final comments on Leonard's faulty digestive system?Leonard: So,what's your news, Bernadette?Bernadette: The thesis committee accepted my doctoral dissertation. I'm getting my PhD.Penny: Oh!Sheldon: Oh,congratulations.Penny: Wow, so that means you're a doctor, you're a doctor, you're a doctor, you're a doctor, and Howard, you know a lot of doctors.Howard:Congratulations, honey.Bernadette: Thank you.Leonard: So, Howard, tell us, how's it feel knowing that when you two get married, you'll be referred to as Mr. andDr. Wolowitz?Sheldon: Unless he takes Bernadette's last name. And considering her advanced status, that could open some doors for him.Howard: Please, thisisn't about me. I'm proud of you.Bernadette: Well, you'll be really be proud of this. I was headhunted by a big pharmaceutical company. They're gonna pay me abuttload of money!Howard: What?Leonard: Bernadette, that's great. Howard, do you make a buttload?Howard: Better than what you've got a buttloadof.Leonard: Hey, if I roll down the windows in the car, everything's peachy. If you do it, you're still not a doctor.Penny: Yeah, just a heads-up on the car windowdeal. It helps, but everything is not peachy. Credits sequence.Scene: Raj's apartment.Raj (earphones in, singing): Oh, if there was a problem, you can't solve it,check out the hook while my DJ revolves it. Ice, Ice, baby. Ice, Ice, baby. (Removes headphones and goes to refrigerator).Priya (off): Oh, God, I feel ridiculous inthis dress.Leonard (off): You look beautiful, Lieutenant Uhura. Now prepare for inspection.Priya (off): Shh, my brother's going to hear you.Leonard (off): Relax,he's got headphones on. And we're ten miles above Earth in a starship.Raj: Really, ten miles? You're orbiting inside the atmosphere? Moron.Priya (off): I can'tbelieve I'm wearing my brother's Halloween costume.Leonard (off): I can't believe you think he only wears it on Halloween. Open the landing bay doors, shuttlecraft approaching.Raj: Okay, gotta go.Scene: Howard's house.Howard: Hey, what's up?Mrs Wolowitz (off): Is that my future daughter-in-law, the doctor?Howard:No, Ma! It's Raj!Mrs Wolowitz (off): He's a doctor too, right?Howard: Yes!Mrs Wolowitz (off): Like Leonard and the skinny weirdo!Howard: Sheldon, yes!Everybody's a doctor but me!Mrs Wolowitz (off): Well, whose fault is that?Howard: What's up?Raj: Leonard's putting disgusting memories in my memory foammattress. Can I stay here tonight?Howard: Sure, but I'm going out with Bernadette. It'll just be you and my mother.Raj: I guess that's okay.Howard: Ma, canRajesh sleep over?!Mrs Wolowitz (off): Of course, he and I can play doctor!Raj: She's kidding, right?Howard: I don't know, she's pretty feisty since they put heron hormone-replacement therapy.Mrs Wolowitz (off): Paging Dr. Cutie Pie!Scene: The apartment. Sheldon is talking to Amy on webcam.Sheldon: I must say,Amy, I was very impressed to see that Bernadette got her PhD.Amy: It's indeed admirable. Although, it is microbiology.Sheldon: Your doctorate is inneurobiology. I fail to see the distinction.Amy: I'll make it simple for you. I study the brain, the organ responsible for Beethoven's Fifth Symphony. Bernadettestudies yeast, the organism responsible for Michelob Lite. Is there something wrong with your neck?Sheldon: It's a little stiff. What a remarkably fragile structureto support such a valuable payload. Not unlike balancing a Faberge egg on a Pixie Stick.Amy: Have you considered massage?Sheldon: I'd like to respond to thatsarcastically. Yes, I relish the thought of a stranger covering my body with oil and rubbing it.Amy: I was proposing you massage your muscles with your ownhands.Sheldon: Still sounds like a lot of unnecessary touching.Amy: Trust me. With your right hand, locate the spot where the scapula meets the acromionprocess.Sheldon: All right.Amy: Now push your third finger along the ridge of the shoulder blade, making a small rotation as you do so.Sheldon: Rotating.Amy:You should feel a small node-like object rolling back and forth along the bone.Sheldon: You mean the myofascial point?Amy: Obviously. Now bear down on it likethe seventh grade noogies we all know too well.Sheldon: Oh, dear Lord, yes, yes, oh, yes! Amy, I've never been touched like this before! Oh! Oh, my hands aremagic!Amy: Don't flatter yourself. Your hands are blunt tools guided by my knowledge of the nervous system. I could just as easily have paralyzed you.Sheldon:There's someone at my door.Amy: That doesn't interest me. Goodbye.Raj (at door): Can I sleep here tonight?Sheldon: Why?Raj: Leonard's having astronomicallyinaccurate Star Trek s*x with my sister.Sheldon: I can see how that would be upsetting. Come in. I'll get the sheets and blankets for the couch.Raj: Oh, don'tbother. I'll just sleep in Leonard's room.Sheldon: No, I can't authorize that.Raj: Well, he's in my bed. Why can't I be in his?Sheldon: The Hammurabic Code is aneye for an eye, not a bed for a bed.Raj: Come on, dude, I'm exhausted, and Tyra Banks says the most important item in your makeup bag is a good night'ssleep.Sheldon: All right. This is a form indemnifying me from your use of Leonard's bedroom. Sign here, indicating that I tried to stop you and did so using a sternfacial expression.Raj: Good night, Sheldon.Sheldon: Wait. Not yet. We still have to go over safety procedures. Now, the apartment has three emergency exitslocated here, here, and here. In the event of a power outage, luminous paint will guide you to the nearest exit.Raj: You're kidding.Sheldon: I never kid aboutsafety.Scene: Leonard's bedroom. Leonard enters, and accidentally sits on Raj. Both exclaim.Leonard: What are you doing here?Raj: I was sleeping.Leonard: Inmy bed?Raj: Well, I would've slept in my own bed, but it was being used to bring shame to my family. And the memory of Gene Roddenberry.Leonard: Oh, youheard?Raj: Scotty, I need more power.Leonard: Sorry. Does Sheldon know you're sleeping in here?Raj: Are you kidding? He made me sign a waiver, participatein an emergency fire drill and take a refresher course in CPR. Thank God he had a dummy.Leonard: Oh, yeah. Mouth-to-Mouth Mona. You know, she used to dateHoward?Raj: Oh, my God, she's that Mona? Why can't you and my sister spend your nights here?Leonard: We tried. She doesn't get along with Sheldon.Raj:Sheldon doesn't get along with Sheldon. It's still no reason for me to have to listen to you arm your photon torpedoes every night.Leonard: Okay, well, how aboutthis. Until Priya gets her own place, you stay here and I'll stay at your apartment.Raj: Can I bring girls here?Leonard: You? Sure. Bring as many as you want.Raj:Okay, deal.Leonard: Just not against their will.Scene: The cafeteria.Leonard: Do you really think you should be eating that cake?Howard: Why?Leonard: If you'regonna be a trophy husband for a rich wife, you might want to watch your waistline.Raj: He's right. A minute on the lips, a lifetime on the hips.Howard: Yeah,ha-ha. First of all, I'm not threatened by my fiancée's success. I'm proud of her. And secondly, I have my own career.Leonard: Until you have kids.Sheldon: Goodnews, Raj. I got the blood work back from the lab. You're okay to stay for a while.Raj: When did you take my blood?Sheldon: Not important. Your sugar was alittle high. I'd follow up with your regular physician. In the meantime, I have some paperwork here for you to go over.Raj: What the hell is this?Sheldon:Boilerplate stuff. A modified roommate agreement for a temporary house guest. And a living will and durable power of attorney.Raj: This says you can make endof life decisions for me.Sheldon: As your friend, let's hope it doesn't come to that. Please sign.Raj: Did you sign this?Leonard: There's a reciprocity clause. You getto pull the plug on him, too.Raj: Well, that seems fair.Sheldon: Congratulations and welcome temporarily aboard. Here's your I.D. Card, your key and your lapelpin. Which Leonard was too cool to wear. FYI, part of your responsibilities as roommate pro tem will be to drive me to and from work, the comic book store, thebarbershop and the park for one hour every other Sunday for fresh air.Leonard: Bring a ball or a Frisbee, you know, something he can chase.Sheldon: Also,you're tasked with bringing home all takeout dinners. Tonight is Thai food. You'll find the standard order in appendix B or downloadable from my FTP server. Ifyou have any questions, here's the FAQ sheet, or if you prefer the human touch, I do a live web chat called Apartment Talk on Tuesday nights.Leonard: Nobacksies.[SCENE_BREAK]Scene: The apartment.Raj: Sheldon, dinner!Sheldon: What is this?Raj: This is the difference between eating and dining.Sheldon:Remarkable. I'm just realizing how much Leonard's been skating by all these years.Raj: It's not a big thing. Just think of me as a brown Martha Stewart.Penny (atdoor): Hey, Sheldon, did you change your Wi-Fi password again?Sheldon: Yes, it's \"Penny, get your own Wi-Fi.\" No spaces.Penny: Thanks. Wow! What's with thefancy spread?Sheldon: My new roommate is bending over backwards to ingratiate himself to me. (Pointing to lapel badge) Uh, nice touch, by the way.Penny:What do you mean, new roommate? What happened to Leonard?Sheldon: The same thing that happened to Homo Erectus. He was replaced by a superiorspecies.Raj: I'm the new Homo in town. That came out wrong.Penny: All right, let me try this again. Where's Leonard?Raj: He's living at my place, so I'm livinghere.Sheldon: You're living here provisionally. But I must say it's looking good.Penny: Woah, Leonard and Priya are living together? That's big.Sheldon: No.Origami napkin swans, that's the headline.Raj: It's a good thing.Scene: Bernadette's bedroom.Howard: So do you know what kind of research you'll be doing atthis pharmaceutical company?Bernadette: Well, there are a couple of opportunities available, but I volunteered for the premature ejaculation project. I mean, it'snot like either one of us has heart disease. Oh, I almost forgot. I got you a little present.Howard: Oh, Bernie, no. You didn't have to.Bernadette: I wanted to.Come on, open it.Howard: You bought me a Rolex? How much did this cost?Bernadette: Oh, you let me worry about the money. I just want my baby to havepretty things.Scene: The apartment.Raj: More wine?Penny: Oh, no, no, no. I've had way too much already.Sheldon: Here's an interesting fact about"}
