[Saskia Reeves in the _Dune_ miniseries (2000)] [Alice Krige in the _Children of Dune_ miniseries (2003)]

LADY JESSICA is a fictional character in the _Dune_ universe created by Frank Herbert. A main character in the 1965 novel _Dune_, Jessica also plays an important role in the later installment _Children of Dune_ (1976). The events surrounding Jessica's conception, her birth and her early years with Leto are chronicled in the _Prelude to Dune_ prequel trilogy (1999–2001) by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson. The character is brought back as a ghola in the Herbert/Anderson sequels which conclude the original series, _Hunters of Dune_ (2006) and _Sandworms of Dune_ (2007).

Lady Jessica was portrayed by Francesca Annis in the 1984 David Lynch film _Dune_. Saskia Reeves played the role in the 2000 Sci-Fi Channel TV miniseries _Frank Herbert's Dune_, and was succeeded by Alice Krige in the 2003 sequel, _Frank Herbert's Children of Dune_. Rebecca Ferguson will portray Jessica in the 2021 Denis Villeneuve film _Dune_.

Description

Jessica is described in _Dune_ as having “hair like shaded bronze ... and green eyes” as well as an “oval face.” This shape is later notable as a marker of Jessica's bloodline.[1][2][3] Novelist Brian Herbert, Frank Herbert's son and biographer, said that the character of Lady Jessica is modeled after his mother and Frank Herbert's wife, Beverly Herbert. Brian Herbert wrote:

The original series

_Dune_

As _Dune_ begins, Jessica is the Bene Gesserit concubine to the Duke Leto Atreides, and mother to his young son and heir Paul. Leto has been granted control of the lucrative planetary fief of Arrakis, and is moving his entire household there from his ocean homeworld of Caladan. Jessica's former instructor, the Bene Gesserit Reverend Mother Gaius Helen Mohiam, is still furious over Jessica's past insubordination—she had been instructed to bear Leto a daughter but had instead intentionally conceived a son—but Mohiam is somewhat intrigued by the potential she sees in 15-year-old Paul. Still, an Atreides daughter is a crucial part of the Bene Gesserit breeding program to eventually produce a super-being they call the Kwisatz Haderach.[4]

Previously managed by House Atreides' longtime enemies, the Harkonnens, Arrakis is an inhospitable desert planet plagued by giant sandworms, and the only known source of melange, the valuable drug at the center of the galactic empire's economy. Leto suspects treachery on the part of Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV, but cannot refuse the assignment. Soon the Baron Harkonnen launches an attack, his forces secretly bolstered by Shaddam's fierce Sardaukar warriors and aided by Leto's own trusted Suk doctor, Wellington Yueh. Coerced by the Baron to save his wife from torture, Yueh disables the shields of the Atreides fortress and delivers a drugged Leto to the Baron, but also provides Leto with a false tooth filled with poison gas. Leto bites down on the tooth in the Baron's presence, but the gas only manages to kill Leto and the Baron's twisted Mentat, Piter De Vries. Jessica is drugged, bound and gagged to prevent her using her powers. The Baron orders that she and Paul be disposed of in the desert. Thanks to supplies left by Yueh, Paul and Lady Jessica escape into the desert and find refuge with the native Fremen. They take advantage of the legends planted there by the Bene Gesserit's Missionaria Protectiva, which practices religious engineering. Jessica casts Paul as the _Lisan al'Gaib_, the messiah, and herself as the Reverend Mother who shall bring him, even though she has not yet experienced the Bene Gesserit spice agony that transforms an acolyte into a full Reverend Mother. Jessica is also revealed to be the secret daughter of the Baron Harkonnen himself.[5]

Paul soon molds the Fremen into a massive army with which he hopes to retake the planet from Imperial rule. The Fremen have their own “wild” Reverend Mothers, women who undergo their own version of the spice agony to awaken their Other Memory. Jessica undergoes the ritual of spice agony and replaces the dying Fremen Reverend Mother. But Jessica is pregnant during the ordeal, exposing the fetus to the same awakening of ancestral ego-memories. A child born this way is called an Abomination by the Bene Gesserit, because experiencing this heightened awareness before they have formed a personality of their own makes them vulnerable to eventually being overtaken by one of their ancestral personalities. Jessica's daughter Alia, a full Reverend Mother from birth, is a grown woman in a child's body. Paul's Fremen seize control of Arrakis from Shaddam and the Harkonnens, and Paul accedes to the throne as Emperor.[6]

Paul is the Kwisatz Haderach, and eventually sets the Imperium on a course lasting thousands of years in the person of his son, Leto II. Much to the frustration of the Bene Gesserit, they do not control Paul, and the events of the coming millennia leave Jessica noteworthy as a figure of history who committed a great wrong (according to the Bene Gesserit); in the coming centuries, for a Bene Gesserit to choose her love over the instructions of her order is known as “the Jessica crime.”[7]

_Children of Dune_

By the time of _Dune Messiah_, Jessica has returned to Caladan, the ancestral home of the Atreides. She has also, by some accounts, returned to the Sisterhood following the death of her Duke, and while she cannot influence Paul, she does act as distant counselor. It is also implied that she and Atreides Weapons Master Gurney Halleck have become lovers.[8]

In _Children of Dune_, Jessica returns to Dune to inspect Paul's children, Leto II and Ghanima, to see if they can be returned to the control of the Sisterhood. Leto notes the identity of Jessica's birth mother: Tanidia Nerus.[9] Realizing that Alia is fully possessed, Jessica survives an assassination attempt by Alia and flees to the desert once more, taking refuge with Fremen leader (and old friend) Stilgar in Sietch Tabr. A civil war has divided Arrakis, with Fremen revolting against the transformation of the desert started by Pardot Kynes. Alia's husband, Duncan Idaho, also realizes that Alia is possessed. When Alia instructs Duncan to make her mother disappear, Duncan kidnaps her on the orders of _the Preacher_, a mysterious desert figure that some suspect is Paul Atreides, who disappeared into the desert. Duncan takes her to Salusa Secundus, the home of exiled House Corrino and the previous Emperor Shaddam IV. The Preacher has told Jessica, through Duncan, to train the pupil she finds there: Prince Farad'n, Shaddam's grandson. She trains him in the Bene Gesserit way, and at the end of _Children of Dune_, he becomes Ghanima's concubine and Leto's Royal Scribe.

Jessica is quoted via epigraph in _Heretics of Dune_:

  When strangers meet, great allowance should be made for differences of custom and training. — The Lady Jessica, from _Wisdom of Arrakis_[10]

In _Chapterhouse: Dune_ it is noted that she “lived out her years on Caladan.” According to the _Appendix IV: The Almanak en-Ashraf (Selected Excerpts of the Noble Houses)_ in _Dune_, Lady Jessica dies in the year 10,256 A.G. after 102 years of life.

_Prelude to Dune_

In the _Prelude to Dune_ series, it is revealed that Jessica's mother is in fact Mohiam; according to the authors, this fact was pulled directly from Frank Herbert's working notes for the original _Dune_ series.[11] In the storyline, Mohiam blackmails the homosexual Baron Harkonnen into a sexual encounter; when the first daughter she conceives proves genetically undesirable, she is forced to return. At this point the Baron drugs and viciously rapes Mohiam, and in retribution she secretly infects him with the disease that will later leave him horribly obese. The daughter born of this second union is Jessica.

The _Prelude_ series also follows Jessica and Leto's relationship from their first meeting through the birth (and subsequent kidnapping and return) of their son Paul. It is indicated that Jessica's choice to bear a son is partially due to her desire to help Leto overcome the devastating loss of his first son, Victor, by his concubine Kailea Vernius.

Journal entries are attributed to Jessica via epigraph in the _Prelude to Dune_ series:

-   The greatest and most important problems of life cannot be solved. They can only be outgrown. — _Dune: House Harkonnen_
-   It is not easy for some men to know they have done evil, for reasoning and honor are often clouded by pride. — _Dune: House Corrino_
-   There is no mystery about the source from which love draws its savage power: It comes from the flow of Life itself — a wild, torrential, outpouring that has its source in the most ancient of times... — _Dune: House Corrino_

In adaptations

[Rebecca Ferguson will portray Jessica in the 2021 film _Dune_.]

1984 film

Lady Jessica was portrayed by Francesca Annis in the 1984 David Lynch film _Dune_.[12] Richard Corliss of _Time_ praised “the lustrous Francesca Annis ... who whispers her lines with the urgency of erotic revelation. In those moments when Annis is onscreen, _Dune_ finds the emotional center that has eluded it in its parade of rococo decor and austere special effects. She reminds us of what movies can achieve when they have a heart as well as a mind.”[13]

2000 miniseries

Saskia Reeves played the role in the 2000 Sci-Fi Channel TV miniseries _Frank Herbert's Dune_.[14] In her review of the 2000 miniseries, Emmet Asher-Perrin of _Tor.com_ wrote that Reeves “embodies everything that you would expect from Lady Jessica in both bearing and commanding presence.”[15]

2003 miniseries

Reeves's real-life pregnancy forced producers to recast the role with Alice Krige for the 2003 sequel miniseries, _Frank Herbert's Children of Dune_.[16][17][18] Laura Fries of _Variety_ noted, “it's Susan Sarandon [as Farad'n's mother Wensicia] and Alice Krige who steal the thunder as opposing matriarchs of the great royal houses. Although the two never catfight, their ongoing struggle to rule the _Dune_ dynasty gives this mini a real kick.”[19] Observing that Sarandon and Krige were “clearly relishing their roles”, Fries added that “Sarandon makes a formidable enemy, while Krige, traditionally cast as the villain, proves she can work both sides of the moral fence.”[20] Asher-Perrin noted of the recast, “While it’s hard not to miss Reeves's elegance, there is an otherworldliness to Krige that suits a Bene Gesserit 'witch' superbly.”[21]

2021 film

Rebecca Ferguson will portray Jessica in the 2021 Denis Villeneuve film _Dune_.[22][23]

Ferguson explained, “She's a mother, she's a concubine, she’s a soldier. Denis was very respectful of Frank’s work in the book, [but] the quality of the arcs for much of the women have been brought up to a new level. There were some shifts he did, and they are beautifully portrayed now."[24]

Merchandising

A line of _Dune_ action figures from toy company LJN was released to lackluster sales in 1984. Styled after David Lynch's film, the collection featured figures of various characters. A figure of Lady Jessica previewed in LJN's catalog was never produced.[25][26]

It was a beautiful spot, hidden well in the surroundings. I glanced around only to notice the dark trees which complemented pure white sands and the iridescent sun gleaming and reflecting off the shabby, yet gentle leaves. The rush of the wind gently tickled and sensationally soothed my skin as the sand hugged me, creating warmth and a sense of security only a mother could provide. Nervously examining the surroundings, I was enthralled and mesmerized by the natural vivid scenery. The waves crashed onto the shore, creating a rhythm similar to that of a heartbeat, and in closing one’s eyes produced an uncanny resemblance to my father’s heartbeat during the many times I have fallen asleep in his arms as a child. Nevertheless, my whole body was frail to such an unfamiliar world. I was so far, yet so close to home.

The sky was dark and the air full of seagulls sauntering in the cool zephyr. They seemed to float with such ease in bunches of many, wings spread apart and as stable as could be. Stability. Something expectant of home, something you become used to. Something you grow accustomed to. The dark sky rolled above with such pace as I was bombarded with nostalgia. Drops of water hit my face, the sky reckoning with anger. I should’ve listened. I shouldn’t have been so stubborn. The seagulls, weary and knowing of what is ahead, flee. The waves had now become an asynchronous percussion orchestra of disaster and the sky even darker. The warmth of the sand no longer was able to soothe my desires and the white fluffy sand was dark as I watch droplets plummet across the horizon of what was once a golden plain.

The short sprinkling resided. The humid sea air entered my nose, a smell so familiar back home. It was a peaceful moment, as it triggered many a memory, being the only smell which had elicited such a response. I grabbed the gritty, cold sand, allowing my body to process the feeling which was so similar to that of my blanket on a cold winter’s night. I glanced at my watch and realised it was getting late. I slowly arose from my tomblike position and lumbered through the damp sand, using this last opportunity to glance as the brilliant sea sparkled under the luminosity of the crescent moon. Droplets ran down my face, however this time not rain. I continued walking, longing for someone whom I could’ve shared this moment with. I rummaged for my phone and put my earphones in, searching for song which fit the occasion. The stairs which led to the main strip were in sight with the voices of a language I could not fully understand overpowering the music I was listening to. Upon arrival, the amazing bedazzlement of lights and people made me hug the sidewalk as I searched carefully for the nearest bus stop.

The fragrant smell of food wafted from all directions accompanied by soothing laughter. I stopped and stared at the magnificent view on top the peak of the hill. Green luscious hills glittered in the moonlight as the trees danced in the wind. I spotted a bus stop, opposite to the direction I had walked in. The refreshing breeze gracefully swept over my skin as I walked confidently to my destination. I couldn’t help but look at the smiling faces of those while passing by as the general happiness rubbed off onto me. I thought to myself that I’m in some place new, I might as well try something new too. I swung open the door with anticipation and asked the bartender with my very limited English for a drink. Uplifting music flowed throughout as I enjoyed ‘a cold one’ to myself. I peeped at my phone for an all important message, but it hadn’t arrived yet.

“Bartender, drink please. Long Island, thankyou!” During the process in which the drink was being concocted an attractive girl pulled a chair next to me and greeted me. Her name was Serenity, I could tell she was a local.

“Hi nice to meet you. My name is Tyler. I’m not from around here if you couldn’t tell.”

“Nice to meet you Tyler, and that’s exactly why I chose to say hi!”

Her eyes glistened as she smiled. I could tell she was a genuine, real person. We spoke about our lives, who we were, our own mini stories. It was as if we were reading story books to each other. Even with my limited English we were able to laugh, gossip and talk for hours on end. We sat outside in the darkness, dimly lit by street lights and the moon. She irradiated a warmth you wouldn’t expect from a personality, yet alone looks. I could only manage to see the silhouette of her, but her perfectly balanced features caught my attention.

“You two, we’re closing, time to leave.” The sturdy bartender made sure we had received the message well, as we walked out onto the strip. I looked at the water, it was now calm. Peacefully bliss. Serenity and I walked onto the beach, our surroundings and body language managing to communicate to each other exactly what we had wished to say.  We sat down and she inquisitively asked to look at my phone. I handed it to her, as I looked away, my attention caught by a man swimming out far beyond his depth.

“Here you go Tyler, I just wanted to check the time and send a message to someone as my phone was dead.” This reminded me, my last bus was arriving within minutes!

“Serenity, I am so sorry! I have to go, it was lovely meeting you.” I gave her a quick hug and ran off before she could utter a word, immediately I regretted my decision. The bus was in sight as I sprinted full pelt. Got it. I walked onto the empty bus and sat near the back. I placed my earphones in and pressed shuffle. The bus ride felt very short as I was occupied by looking out of the window into the rain. Walking back home, I felt a sudden shortness of breath as I reached into my pocket for the keys to open my lonely apartment. I couldn’t handle it. I lurched for my bed and collapsed unto it, my breathing becoming heavy as tears ran down my cheeks and my vision becoming blurry…

Morning sun hit my face as I woke up in a daze. I looked around to make sure nothing else had occurred last night. Everything seemed normal. I couldn’t help but feel empty as I made myself something to eat, my stomach including. My phone was on the counter as it vibrated. I peered over. ‘Two messages from unknown number -041485375’. I unlocked my phone.

“Hey Tyler, it’s Serenity :)”
“I hope I have the right number, I would love to see you again.”

title: [RF] Falling

question: Summarize Tyler's reaction as he said goodbye to Serenity.

answer: Tyler said an abrupt and quick goodbye to Serenity. He rushed home and it felt like he was having a panic attack. He got home and felt a shortness in his breath as he reached his apartment and had tears running down his cheeks. He lurched onto his bead and fell asleep.

question: Summarize Tyler and Serenity's relationship.

answer: Tyler and Serenity's relationship is sweet. Serenity is a girl from town and Tyler is not from town. They met at a bar and have a great time. They speak about their lives, who they are, and their own stories. They laughed and talked for hours and stayed at the bar until closing time. They went to the beach after where Serenity asked to use Tyler's phone. The next day, when Tyler woke up, he had a message from Serenity asking to see him again.

question: Would Tyler meet Serenity again?

The Don’t Care Bears

on October 28, 2014 at 12:01 am

Looks like the Bears are in freefall mode. On Sunday in Foxboro the Patriots laid 38 points on them in the first half alone, a Chicago franchise record. Seriously, since 1920, that had never happened. For the first time in their history, it feels like the defense is the problem. You’d never know it looking at fan reactions. CUTLER SUCKS, CUTLER LOST, THE OFFENSE IS BROKEN.

While the Offense seems to be having some issues and isn’t firing on all cylinders, and Cutler is far from perfect,  how can anyone look at a team that had 51 points dropped on them and blame the offense? The defense is astoundingly bad. I think Bears fans are just blaming the O because they’ve never had to blame the defense before. Ever. It’s always been the offense that sucked. Now the world is topsy turvy, cats are living with dogs, mass hysteria.

But Cutler don’t care. Here, have a thing I made for Kissing Suzy Kolber on the Bears.

question: What does "the Bears" refer to?

answer: The text doesn't explicitly say but it's quite well known that the Bears are an NFL football team.

question: Who is Cutler?

answer: The text doesn't say but implies that Cutler plays offense for the Bears.

question: In this article, is offense or defense more problematic for the Bears?

answer: The offense is being blamed but the author thinks the defense is the real problem.

question: With what city are the Bears associated?

answer: Chicago.

question: What is the date of this article?

answer: October 28, 2014

question: Write a ~1 sentence summary.

answer: After a startling loss by the Bears to the Patriots in 2014, the author of this article blames the team's defense but notes that fans are still blaming Cutler and the offense for the team's problems.

Now, more than $1 trillion into its development, the F-35 aircraft is experiencing glitches with its radar systems. US Air Force major general Jeffrey Harrigian explained the problem in an IHS Jane report: “What would happen is they’d get a signal that says either a radar degrade or a radar fail—something that would force us to restart the radar.”

So basically you have to reboot the radar every now and again. That seems like a pretty big problem on such an expensive plane! It could also hinder its performance against less intelligent, older aircrafts.

The radar bug (and its suggested fix) is startling, but not that unexpected. The Pentagon released a damning report last month listing the unbelievable amount of deficiencies found in the troubled fighter jet. The Pentagon report laid out dozens of problems facing the F-35 in all variants, many of which were caused by software failures.

The bugs were found “in fusion, electronic warfare, and weapons employment result in ambiguous threat displays, limited ability to respond to threats, and a requirement for off-board sources to provide accurate coordinates for precision attack.” In short, the F-35 was rendered useless because of software bugs. And now the creators have yet another bug to fix.

Meanwhile, the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program is becoming the most expensive military blunders of all time. Flight performance remains still a major concern, and many of the computers that affect how the aircraft flies are regularly being updated. Unfortunately for anyone that wants to see this jet takeoff for combat, the plane has yet to be tested for resistance to hacking. So the problematic program is hardly out of the woods now.

question: What aircraft is experiencing glitches with its radar system?

answer: The F-35.

question: How much money was spent on the development of the aircraft before the glitch was discovered?

answer: $1 trillion.

question: What is necessary to repair the radar?

answer: Restart it every time there is a glitch.

question: Why is the F-35 unusable?

answer: Software bugs.

question: Write a ~2 sentence summary.

answer: The article discusses software bugs in the F-35 aircraft that force the user to restart the radar, functionally rendering it useless. This has become one of the biggest military blunders of all time, costing more than $1 trillion, and the problem is still unresolved.

ST HELENS GREYHOUND RACING AND SPORTS STADIUM was a greyhound racing and former football stadium on Park Road in St Helens, Lancashire

Origins

A football ground known as the Primrose Ground was constructed for the St Helens Town Football Club in 1901.[1] It was located on the east side of the Star Inn Race Ground and on the north side of Park Road and south of the St Helens Canal and the London and North Eastern Railway St. Helens branch.[2]

Football

The football team played at the ground from 1901-1929.

Greyhound racing

The stadium underwent major renovation in 1932 to accommodate a greyhound track.[3] The first meeting held at the Park Road stadium was on 5 November 1932.[4] The racing was independent (not affiliated to the sports governing body the National Greyhound Racing Club).

In the 1960s the track circumference was 410 yards and was owned by the St Helens Greyhound Racing and Sports Stadium Ltd. Race days were Tuesday and Friday evenings at 7.45pm with an 'Inside hare' system and photo finish installed. The main race distance was 487 yards and facilities included two refreshment bars and a licensed bar.[5]

During the 1980s additional race distances of 275, 493 and 680 yards had been introduced. The main races were the St Helens Derby and the majority of races were handicap races. Facilities had improved with a computerised totalisator, renovated kennels, a glass fronted stand and parking for 200 vehicles.[6]

Closure

The stadium closed on 5 Mar 1993[7] and the site today is Broadoak Manor nursing home.[8] Within days of the last greyhound meeting the stadium was burned down.[9] Within four months a new operation had started at the Hoghton Road Stadium.[10]

I know a girl who lives in a house with some friends of mine, I can't tell you her real name but we'll call her Mary. Smooth pale skin, almost white, and short brown hair, long slender arms and fingers and a neck like a length of PVC pipe. She's beautiful in the same way that the alien girl from the Fifth Element is beautiful, kind of fucked up but still sexy. I've been round at the house a few times, my sister lives there with one guy studying pharmacy and another guy I knew in school. I'm sitting with my sister and old mate, the pharmacy guy is in his room probably jacking it over Skyrim. Mary pops into the kitchen and sees us, says hello, and then disappears into her own bedroom. She's watching documentaries. She's shy.
	“That Mary” I say to Daniel, “She's pretty cute. She's a real cutie-pie.”
	“Yeah she's great. She's a smart cookie, but got some weird shit going on though. Really fucked up shit.” He shakes his head.
My sister looks ominously at Daniel and me. My sister is a really good girl.
	“I don't think we should talk about Mary.” she says to us, decisively like she's holding a gun under the table pointed at our junk. “She's having a hard time at the moment.”
Daniel sucks on a beer and rubs his jaw. There's some disgusting blond facial hair clinging to his cheeks, chin and neck. It looks like sparse pubic hair on a tight scrot. I told him these exact words because I'm his mate but he ignored me. He thinks he looks like Tim Rogers. He doesn't heed the warning look from my sister.
	“It's been hectic here man,” he tells me. “All kinds of people trying to get in to talk to Mary. People in suits and-” my sister cuts him off.
	“Daniel, the last thing Mary needs is more people causing a fuss about it! Just drop it!”
I'm pretty interested now because it sounds like personal dramas, and there's a chance we'll get talking about Mary's pert breasts or maybe she's having sex with a woman these days. I dig stuff like that.
	“What's the story?” I ask Daniel. We ignore my sister's complaints.
	“All these people have been showing up, trying to get information about Mary, medical people and lawyers and shit. I don't know who they are. Anyway they're all trying to get their hands on Mary because she laid an egg the other week.” He shrugs his shoulders innocently. This is too much for my sister.
	“FUCK Daniel! You don't even know what happened yourself, don't talk about this stuff, it's absolutely nothing to do with us, not to mention just plain rude when Mary can probably hear us talking about her!”
	“Wait, what do you mean she laid an egg?” I ask Daniel.
	“Mary can't hear us from her room, relax.” He says to my sister, then turns to me with a blank expression on his face. “She laid a fucking egg man, I don't know. She went in to the hospital and they helped her deliver an egg.”
	“What, like a chicken egg?”
	“No it was a bit bigger.”
My sister gets up with a resigned look on her face and shuts the door between the kitchen and the hallway, then pours a vodka and tops it up with ice and soda water. She has it pretty strong. She gives up trying to stop Daniel talking about Mary's egg. I'm still not getting it at this point.
	“Was it like a duck egg or a goose egg or something? Is that some sex thing that people do?”
	“No, no they don't know what it was. They've never seen an egg like it before. Nobody could identify it, they had bird scientists and all sorts of people on the case.”
	“They're called ornithologists,” my sister corrects him like she's slapping a child. “They called them in when Mary couldn't explain the egg and ran some tests on it. From what we've heard it didn't match anything that we know about.” She sips her drink sadly. I can tell she's worried about Mary. She's a good girl, my sister. Daniel is rolling a joint but he's not very good at it. He keeps spilling chop all over the table in front of him, then picking it up bit by bit. He continues the story.
	“Anyway the doctors let Mary go home because there didn't seem to be anything wrong with her, but she's been recommended counselling and some other therapy and shit just in case.” He licks the paper he's holding and rolls it thoughtfully. “The strangest part is that Mary asked for the egg back. She kept it.”
We sit in silence for about twenty seconds, digesting this information. My sister has just started to speak when the door opens and Mary comes in. She seems oblivious to our conversation and goes to the refrigerator and gets out a bowl of leftover fettuccine carbonara.
	“Hey how is university going?” I ask her, more to break the tension than from any real interest. I know that she is studying to be a nurse and that she hasn't made many friends at school. I feel sort of sorry for her in a way, I know she's intelligent but she seems sort of lonely as well. Plus, she's got an egg now. Mary puts the bowl in the microwave.
	“Uni is fine,” she tells me distractedly. “I go on placement next month, I'm a little bit worried about it but it will probably be very interseting.” The conversation falls flat like a cool kid tripping over a box of VHS tapes. Mary is standing behind Daniel who sits facing me. He silently mouths the sentence “ask her about the egg” with his eyebrows raised. My sister starts to offer Mary a drink but she declines.
	“What are you watching in your room? A documentary?” I ask her, trying to remain tactful in spite of Daniel's suggestions.
	“Can we see your egg?” He spurts out before she can answer me. He's like the conversational equivalent of premature ejaculation at a funeral. We're all in stunned silence, I'm on the verge of giddy laughter. My sister punches Daniel right in the solar plexus, hard.
	“Why are you a dick?” She practically shouts at him. That punch winded him though and he just keels over in his chair gasping and looks up at me with irrepressible mirth in his eyes. She's right though, he is a dick. Mary turns to the sink silently, I think she's probably going to cry. My sister is shaking her head in her hands. The microwave beeps loudly. That carbonara smells fantastic. My sister gets up and puts her arm around Mary but the girl darts out of the embrace and flits through the open door.
	“Mary, wait!” My sister calls after her and turns to leave. She throws a baleful glare in our direction before she exits.
	“What the fuck is wrong with you? That hurt.” Daniel wheezes after her. When he can breathe again he leans back and gets the bowl of carbonara out of the microwave.
	“I've seen the egg, you know.” He tells me. I'm pretty interested. “I had to sneak into her room because she won't let it out of her sight. She was asleep and it was resting on a pile of her clean laundry.”
	“You're pretty disgusting man.” I tell him. He just shrugs. He puts the poorly rolled joint between his lips and lights it.
	“It's a nice looking egg.” He says.

[Portrait of Ferry with King Stanisław Leszczyński.]

NICOLAS FERRY (known as BÉBÉ) (1741–1764) was a French dwarf who became renowned throughout Europe as the court dwarf of King Stanisław Leszczyński.

Early life and discovery

Nicolas Ferry was born on 14 October 1741 in Plaine, Bas-Rhin, France, the son of a farmer and his wife. He was unusually small at birth and continued to grow slowly, although all contemporary sources and surviving portraits agree that his limbs and features were in proportion to his height (“proportionate dwarfism”). His fame spread, and in 1746 he was visited by ladies from the court of Stanisław, who was also the Duke of Lorraine and maintained a court at Lunéville, although he was no longer King of Poland. Stanisław sent his physician to examine the child, who was now five years old and approximately 24 inches (60 cm) tall, and subsequently sent for him. He offered Ferry's parents money in return for their son, who was to be maintained and educated in the Leszczyński household as the court dwarf.

Life at court

At court Ferry quickly acquired the nickname Bébé (“Baby”). He was given to the queen as a birthday present in 1747, and, after her death in 1748, he became the property of her cousin, the Princesse de Talmont. He had tutors, but proved to be of relatively low intelligence and is reported never to have learned to read or write. A small wooden house was built for him in one of the halls of the Chateau de Lunéville, and he was spoiled and indulged by his master and the entire court. He played practical jokes on visitors and often behaved very badly, but he was the king's favourite and a great attraction.[1] Those entertained by his antics included the Duc du Richelieu and Voltaire.

In 1759 the Polish dwarf Józef Boruwłaski visited the court. He was a witty, urbane young man of 20, shorter than Ferry and well versed in court manners. Unflattering comparisons were drawn, and Ferry became so angry that he attacked Boruwłaski and tried to throw him onto the fire. The indulgent Stanisław ordered Ferry beaten for this outrage, reportedly to his severe shock and mortification.

Ferry was also compared unfavourably with Boruwłaski by the aristocratic writer, scientist and physician Louis-Élisabeth de La Vergne de Tressan, who visited the Lunéville court to receive an honour from Stanisław. De Tressan later delivered a paper to the French Academy of Sciences likening Ferry to an animal in comparison with the intelligent, well-educated Polish dwarf.

Ferry remained at Stanisław's court throughout his life, eventually growing to a height of 34 inches (86 cm).[2]

Decline and death

Ferry's health declined in his late teens. He developed a hunchback and had difficulty walking, and he suffered wasting of the soft tissues and signs of premature aging.[3] Eventually he became incontinent and a chronic invalid, and died on 8 June 1764 aged 22. His skeleton was prepared and mounted for study, and is currently kept at the Musée de l'Homme in Paris. The rest of his remains were buried in the church at Lunéville; when the church was destroyed during the French Revolution, Ferry's inscribed mausoleum was preserved and is now at the Chateau de Lunéville. Some of Ferry's outfits are preserved in the historical museum at Nancy and there are a number of wax statues of him still in existence. A unique Luneville Faience statue of Ferry, 22 inches (56 cm) tall, modelled from life, was kept at the Chateau de Lunéville, but was destroyed in a fire in 2003.[4]

In 2006 and 2008, French researchers published detailed studies of Ferry's skeletal remains, with particular attention to his jaws and facial bones. They concluded that Ferry suffered from a rare genetic form of primordial dwarfism characterised by small, abnormal teeth without roots, and dubbed the condition _NMOSR_.[5]

title: Nicolas Ferry

question: Summarize the decline of Ferry's health.

answer: During his late teens, Ferry developed a hunchback, and the soft tissue on his body wasted as a result of aging prematurely-a condition that was likely genetic, given his dwarfism. He could no longer control his urine and bowel movements by the age of 22. In the 21st century, scientists studying Ferry's remains concluded that all this was the result of a rare genetic mutation that resulted in primordial dwarfism.

question: Summarize the most interesting part of Ferry's life.

question: Summarize how Ferry worked his way through the court.

answer: He was initially a birthday present to the Queen, then passed down to her cousin proceeding her death. The entirety of his life Ferry was property-he was given tutors, but never became literate. Ferry was a spoiled, kept pet of the court, and a favorite of the King, what with his practical jokes. He entertained the likes of Voltaire during his short life. A visiting, more worldly dwarf named Boruwlaski was better-liked than Ferry, whose anger sparked to the point of attacking the more seasoned Boruwlaski, who ordered Ferry beaten. Ferry remained in Stanislaw's court his whole life.

question: Summarize what this article says about how dwarves were regarded in 16th century Europe.

answer: It would seem that dwarves were seen as a necessity in the luxury of the palace, and served their purpose in entertainment value. However, it does not seem they were treated as if they were of equal importance as people who did not appear to have dwarfism. The dwarves in this article-Ferry and Boruwlaski, had decent lodging and good company, as well as access to educational resources, but it seems their purpose and significance was very limited in scope and that they could never hope to be taken very seriously.

Winterton taught for 28 years at the University of New South Wales before taking up an appointment of Professor of Constitutional Law at the University of Sydney in 2004.

Winterton served as a member of the Executive Government Advisory Committee of the Constitutional Commission from 1985 to 1987.

Early life

Winterton was born in Hong Kong on 15 December 1946. His parents, Rita and Walter, had married in Hong Kong after fleeing Austria shortly after the 1938 Nazi invasion. His father practised medicine in Japanese-occupied Hong Kong and, in May 1947, he and his family sailed to London on the _MV Lorenz_. Walter having gained an English medical qualification, the Wintertons left Britain in 1948, arriving in Australia in November where Walter became a general practitioner in Western Australia, first at Pingelly, then Mount Hawthorn (North Perth) and then, after the birth of George's only sibling, Peter, at Tuart Hill from 1953. George attended the local primary schools until 1958 when he started at Hale, then in West Perth.[1]

Education and early legal practice

In 1968, George graduated with first class honours in law from the University of Western Australia. He had won four prizes, and was placed first in his final year. Winterton later completed a master's degree by research in 1970, on the topic of the appropriations power under the Australian Constitution.

On graduation, Winterton became an articled clerk with the firm of Robinson Cox (now Clayton Utz) and was admitted to practice in Western Australia in 1970. From 1971 to 1973 he practised with the firm Frank Unmack and Cullen in Fremantle.

Winterton's academic career began in 1968 when he served as a visiting tutor at the University of Western Australia.[2]

Foundation of the Aboriginal Legal Service in Western Australia

The Chief Justice of Australia, Robert French, wrote of the early 1970s “when we were involved with other Perth lawyers in establishing an Aboriginal Legal Service for Western Australia”:

    “George played a leading role, and in 1972 was chairman of the committee that became the service. In that year he sent a letter to the then Coalition government asking for a modest grant to establish a duty counsel service. The election intervened.”

    “The response, when it came, was astonishing. Gordon Bryant, the new minister for Aboriginal affairs, asked how much money we would need to provide representation for Aboriginal people throughout the state.”[3]

Also involved with George were “a future federal minister, Fred Chaney; High Court judge Ron Wilson; the present Chief Justice of the High Court, Robert French; future state premier Peter Dowding; and others....”[4]

Marriage and family

In 1976, George met Rosalind Julian who, at that time, was studying arts at the University of New South Wales. They married in 1979, and four children followed: David (LLB UNSW, 2004 Rhodes scholar), Philip (completing a law degree at the University of Technology, Sydney), Madeleine (BA Sydney) and Julia (enrolled in economics/social science, Sydney University).[5]

Academic career

In 1973 Winterton won a Fulbright scholarship to study law at Columbia University in New York City, where he served as an associate-in-law, teaching legal research and writing, and international law.

While at Columbia, Winterton was interviewed for a position at the Law Faculty of the University of New South Wales, and he returned to Australia in 1975 to take up an appointment as a Senior Lecturer.

In 1983, Winterton completed his Doctorate of Juridical Science (JSD) at Columbia. His thesis on the executive power of the Commonwealth of Australia became the core of _Parliament, the Executive and the Governor-General_, which was published by Melbourne University Press in 1983, and which is still regarded as the leading text on the subject.[6][7][8] In 1998, Winterton founded the _Constitutional Law and Policy Review_, remaining its general editor until his death.

At UNSW, Winterton taught Public Law, Succession and Advanced Equity, Advanced Administrative Law, International Law and, ultimately, Federal Constitutional Law, the High Court of Australia, Comparative Law, Legal History and Comparative Constitutional Law.[9] He was promoted to professor of law, and was awarded a Jubilee Medallion in 1999.[10]

In 2004 Winterton took up a position of Professor of Constitutional Law at the University of Sydney,[11] where he taught Federal Constitutional Law, High Court of Australia, and Comparative Constitutional Law.[12] Winterton did not sever his ties with UNSW, where he had several colleagues in his field, and the university recognised his service by appointing him Emeritus Professor in 2004.[13]

The University of Western Australia awarded him the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws in 2007.[14][15][16]

Illness and death

In 1998 Winterton developed a rare sarcoma in his left leg, and in 2001 he was diagnosed with bowel cancer. “He continued to write, teach, and publish, interrupted by operations, chemotherapy and countless investigations and procedures.”[17] Only in the last months did he cease to attend his Sydney Law School office where he would arrive around noon, and work late, often until 2:00 am. George Winterton died in Sydney on 6 November 2008, aged 61. He was survived by his mother Rita, wife Ros, four children and his brother.[18]

Public affairs and constitutional reform

Winterton provided legal advice to Commonwealth and state governments, other public bodies and law firms.[19]

Winterton criticised Sir Garfield Barwick and Sir John Kerr for not having paid closer attention to the constitution before Kerr, the governor-general, sacked the Whitlam government in 1975, with Barwick's advice. Winterton said Barwick had invented a convention that “a prime minister who cannot obtain supply ... must either advise a general election or resign”, pointing out that, although section 83 of the constitution forbids the expenditure of unappropriated funds, appropriated funds had not been exhausted. The sacking, he said, diminished respect for conventions.[20]

He served as a member of the Executive Government Advisory Committee for the Constitutional Commission in 1986 and 1987, chaired by Sir Zelman Cowen.[21]

His _Monarchy to Republic_ helped reignite debate over the issue of Australian republicanism.[22] In 1993, he served as a member of the Republic Advisory Committee. He was appointed as a delegate to the 1998 Constitutional Convention. He wrote the original bi-partisan appointment model.[23][24]

Chief Justice Robert French has written:[25]

  He also proposed a new preamble for the Constitution and amendments necessary to reflect a minimalist Republican model. George spelt out certain principles which should guide the formulation of a new constitutional preamble. They were reflective of his own personality and approach to legal issues. Shortly they were:
  1. A conservative principle -- the existing preamble should be retained as far as possible for constitutional continuity and social harmony.
  2. The preamble should be honest. It should not make promises about rights which the Constitution itself would not deliver.
  3. The prose should be pithy, avoiding jargon and platitude.
  4. It should embody only the most fundamental, uncontroversial and universally acceptable values.
  5. It should avoid provisions likely to have legal effect. They should be found in the body of the Constitution.
  His proposed preamble was founded upon the notion of popular sovereignty and ended with the words: “We, the people of Australia, do hereby enact and give to ourselves this Constitution.”

Legacy

A Gedenkschrift in celebration of his life and learning has been published: H. P. Lee and Peter Gerangelos (eds), _Constitutional Advancement in a Frozen Continent: Essays in Honour of George Winterton_ (2009).

The inaugural George Winterton Lecture was delivered by Chief Justice Robert French, of the High Court of Australia, on 18 February 2010 at the Sydney Law School on the topic of the Executive Power under the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Australia.[26][27]

Winterton's textbook _Australian Federal Constitutional Law: Commentary and Materials_, first published in 1999, with a second edition in 2007, appeared in a third edition in 2013 with his pupil Peter Gerangelos as general editor.[28]

*Ding Dong*

A man takes his head out of his hands and looks at the clock.
*1AM on the dot.  He's punctual, I'll give him that.*
The man is proud of the wrinkles that extend from his forehead to his eyes and from his eyes to his chin.  Each one, in his mind, was a mark of fortune, indicating all of his good decisions in life.  He glances briefly at the picture of he and his wife smiling on a pier, then smiles and rubs his hands on his head once more, wiping fatigue from his eyes with his fingers.  He sits in a converted office-turned-study.  There are fewer books than bottles of assorted vintage booze, but this small space has always been found to bring him comfort.  He picks himself out of his brown, quilted leather armchair and makes through the foyer to the front door.

He picks himself up on his toes and glances through a small hole in the door.  He sees a tall man, though his features are obscured through the wide-angle lens of the peephole.  The man outside is standing on his novelty doormat, wiping his feet where it beckons guests to wipe their paws.  He swallows and takes a few short breaths before opening the door.

"Thank you for coming" the shorter man says.
"Can we make this quick?  I have many more people to see tonight" says the taller man.

His features are plain.  Too plain.  He has a business haircut that parts his dark, but not too dark, and unremarkable hair.  His nose is large, but not prominent.  His eyes are black.  His mouth is small and straight.  He is wearing a black body-length canvas coat with matching black slacks.  Underneath is a hint of a black business suit with a white shirt and black tie.  No one would look twice at this man in a crowd.  In fact, if the shorter man's attention hadn't been focused on the tall man, he might not have remembered he was standing right in front of him.  He was almost engineered to be forgettable.

"O-of course.  I thought people don't usually make appointments with you" says the shorter man.
"I see lots of people every day, but things usually go better if they don't expect me."
"Please," says the shorter man as he nods in understanding, "come inside."

They move into the foyer and the shorter man makes to remove the taller man's coat.

"My name is Greg, by the by" says the shorter man.
"I'm called Sue" responds the taller man.
"A boy named Sue, eh?" chuckled Greg.
His attempt to lighten mood was lost as Sue made no reaction to his comment.
"Sorry, I'm just nervous, I think.  Please follow me."
"It's just a nickname," the taller man says as they move to the study, "it's good to be nervous. Nothing reminds you more of being alive than fearing the future."

"Can I offer you something to drink?  I have fine, 18 year old single malt scotch from--"
"No, thank you," says Sue, "I haven't a need for anything at the moment."

Greg sits down in his favorite armchair and takes a deep breath.  Sue moves behind Greg and takes a bottle from his pocket.

"Okay," says Greg, "before we begin, I would just like to go over some terms."

Sue dips a few drops of liquid from the bottle onto a small microfiber cloth, and then uses the cloth to cover Greg's nose and mouth.

"I know the terms," says Suicide as Greg lumps unconscious, "and don't worry.  I always make it look like an accident."

title: An Hour After Midnight

question: What is the narrator's name?

answer: The narrator's name is Greg.

question: What is the tall man called?

answer: The tall man is called Sue.

question: Write a ~3 sentence summary.

answer: A man named Greg is visited by a man called Sue after midnight. Greg seems rather old and lets in the other man, having made an appointment with him. Sue is revealed to be Suicide, and knocks Greg unconscious.

Darkly twisted
not the words I would have used to discribe the innocent creature sitting before me
But as these many weeks have past digging deeper through this outward facade revealing an ever increasing labyrinth of which I feel I have only glanced apon the surface giving only hints while seething among the depths are many terrors that I would dare not to put to paper for fear of relinquishing that which I hold most sacred the continuation of my work and more over my sanity
I cannot even to you my most trusted friend give more then an impression of my findings so far For without the scientific evidence to support my claims I fear a padded cell and lovely new coat would be the only just reward for revelations
           More to come.   Your friend P

RAPHAEL DAVID MAKLOUF [1] (born 10 December 1937) is a British sculptor, best known for designing an effigy of Queen Elizabeth II used on the coins of many Commonwealth nations.

Maklouf was born in Jerusalem, to a Jewish family; his father was Samuel Maklouf (1911–1990, born in Safed, then in Palestine); his mother was Leonie Maklouf (born in Saarbrücken, Germany, 1915).

The family emigrated to the United Kingdom after the Second World War. Raphael Maklouf attended the Camberwell School of Art until 1958, afterwards becoming an academic lecturer for ten years. He was made an Associate of the Royal Society of British Sculptors in 1979. [One of Maklouf's Stations of the Cross in Brentwood Cathedral] Two of his designs were selected for British coinage on 8 August 1984, one for general circulation and another for commemorative issues. They were used on the coins of several countries from 1985 to 1997. His initials, RDM, are engraved at the base of the Queen's neck.[2] He is additionally known for his sculptural design representing the fifteen Stations of the Cross in Brentwood Cathedral. He is associated with Tower Mint Ltd, which privately produces medals, coins for collectors, and similar items.

GRAPHICAL SOUND or DRAWN SOUND (Fr. _son dessiné_, Ger. _graphische Tonerzeugung_,; It. _suono disegnato_) is a sound recording created from images drawn directly onto film or paper that were then played back using a sound system. There are several different techniques depending on the technology employed, but all are a consequence of the sound-on-film technology and based on the creation of artificial optical polyphonic sound tracks on transparent film.

History

The first practical sound-on-film systems were created almost simultaneously in the USSR, USA and Germany. In Soviet Russia Pavel Tager initiated the first developments in 1926 in Moscow.

In 1927, just over a few months later, Alexander Shorin started his research in Leningrad. The popular version of his “Shorinophone”, widely used for field and studio sound recording, was based on a mechanical reproduction of gramophone-like longitudinal grooves along the filmstrip. Another version of Shorin’s system – “Kinap”, mainly used for sound-on-film production, was based on a variable area optical recording on film – “transversal” recoding as it was called in Russia.

As far back as 1916, in the article “Upcoming Science of Music and the New Era in the History of Music”, Arseny Avraamov proclaimed his view on the future of the Art of Music: “By knowing the way to record the most complex sound textures by means of a phonograph, after analysis of the curve structure of the sound groove, directing the needle of the resonating membrane, one can create synthetically any, even most fantastic sound by making a groove with a proper structure of shape and depth".

In October 1929 the first film-roll of _Piatiletka. Plan velikih rabot_ (“Plan of Great Works”) movie by A. Room was developed. The group working on this film included the painter, book illustrator and animator Mikhail Tsekhanovsky as well as talented inventor and engineer Evgeny Sholpo. But the most outstanding participant in the project was Arseny Avraamov - composer, journalist, music theorist, inventor, one of the most adventurous people of his time, performance instigator, irreconcilable foe of the classical twelve tone system (based on well-tempered scale), promoter of the ultrachromatic “Welttonsystem”, developer of experimental musical instruments and tools, and author of the storied _Symphony of Factory Sirens_.

The crew members were amazed with the view of the first sound track they ever saw and Mikhail Tsekhanovsky had voiced the idea: “what if we take some Egyptian or ancient Greek ornaments as a sound track, perhaps we will hear some unknown archaic music?”. Each crew member immediately recognized in the new optical film sound process a means to effectively realize their long-standing ideas: Arseny Avraamov - to develop further his concept of ultrachromatic “Welttonsystem” and to explore the sonic qualities of new ornamental sound; Evgeny Sholpo – to develop his “performer-less” musical tools. The next day they were already furiously at work on experiments in what they referred to variously as “ornamental”, “drawn,” “paper”, “graphical”, “artificial” or “synthetic” sound.

On the 20th of February, 1930, just a few months later, Arseny Avraamov mentioned a new trend in his lecture for the sound-on-film group at ARRK (Avraamov 1930). In October, 1930 a new technique was described in the article “Multiplikacia Zvuka” (the Animation of Sound) by E. Veisenberg (Veisenberg 1930).

At exactly the same time similar efforts were being undertaken in Germany by Rudolf Pfenninger in Munich and, c. 1931-32, by Oskar Fischinger in Berlin. According to Oskar Fischinger’s statements from his article “Sounding Ornaments”, first published in German in 1932 and distributed worldwide, “Between ornament and music persist direct connections, which means that Ornaments are Music. If you look at a strip of film from my experiments with synthetic sound, you will see along one edge a thin stripe of jagged ornamental patterns. These ornaments are drawn music - they are sound: when run through a projector, these graphic sounds broadcast tones of a hitherto unheard of purity, and thus, quite obviously, fantastic possibilities open up for the composition of music in the future”.[1]

According to an article published in 1931, Avraamov’s approach was similar: “Composer Arseny Avraamov at the scientific-research institute conducts the interesting experiments on a creation of the hand-drawn music. Instead of common sound recording on film by means of microphone and photocell, he simply draws on paper geometrical figures, then photographing them on sound track of the filmstrip. Afterwards this filmstrip is played as a common movie by means of film projector. Being read by photocell, amplified and monitored by loudspeaker, this filmstrip turns out to contain a well-known musical recording, while its timbre is impossible to relate to any existing musical instrument.

Comrade Avraamov conducts now a study in recording of more complicated geometrical figures. For instance, to record graphical representations of the simplest algebraic equations, to draw molecular orbits of some chemical elements. In this research composer is assisted by a group of young employee of the Research Institute for Film and Photo. By the end of December Avraamov will finish his new work and to show it to the film-community. Quite possibly the listening of the abstracts of “Hand Drawn Music” will be organized in radio broadcast" (Kino 1931).

National Film Board of Canada

In the 1950s, National Film Board of Canada animators Norman McLaren and Evelyn Lambart, and film composer Maurice Blackburn, began their own experiments with graphical sound, adapting the techniques of Pfenninger and Russian artist Nikolai Voinov.[2] McLaren created a short 1951 film _Pen Point Percussion_, demonstrating his work.[3] The next year, McLaren completed his most acclaimed work, his Academy Award-winning anti-war film _Neighbours_, which combined stop-motion pixilation with a graphical soundtrack. _Blinkity Blank_ is a 1955 animated short film by Norman McLaren, engraved directly onto black film leader, combining improvisational jazz along with graphical sounds. In 1971, McLaren created his final graphical sound film _Synchromy_.[4]

title: Graphical sound

question: What does the text say about the inventors of graphical sound?

answer: The first practical sound-on-film systems were created almost simultaneously in the USSR, the USA, and Germany, but Pavel Tager initiated the first developments in 1926 in Moscow. In 1927, Alexander Shorin started research on them in Leningrad. In 1929, Piatiletka, a film to use the technique, was developed. In 1930, Arseny Avraamov also mentioned a new trend in his lecture for the sound-on-film group at ARRK. Similar work was being done in Germany by Rudolf Pfenninger in Munich and Oskar Gischinger in Berlin in the early 1930s.

question: What does the text say about uses of the technique after the 1930s?

answer: In the 1950s, Normal McLaren and Evelyn Lambart, of the National Film Board of Canada, and film composer Maurice Blackburn began experiments with graphical sound. In 1951, McLaren created the short film Pen Point Percussion, and the following year created Neighbors, both of which used the technique. In 1955, he released Blinkity Blank and then in 1971, he released Synchromy, which also used the technique.

question: What does the text say about applications of the technique in the past 20 years?

There lives a tale of a mysterious forest that has yet to be fully explored or even discovered. It is only echoed in rumors spread by newer journalists trying to get a start at their career or some conspiracy theorists just trying to spread what they think is true around the internet. The only thing about it is that each and every report is different. One says that the forest has a demon inside it. Others say that it's just a normal old forest. And yet more say that the beasts inside are well fed by a resident witch that they devour all that walk in. All theories farfetched, all theories more than likely false or just rips from other horror movies that have scarred the writer's childhood. There are a few constants in the stories though. One of them being that nobody knows the precise location of the forest, and that is likely due to the other notable constant: nobody who has walked in the forest has walked back out.

Unfortunate for a little group of Boy Scouts that planned their adventures to a nearby forest that had always intrigued the small, but growing troop. They never stood a chance or even could know about the doom that they had just put themselves to...

The little campout adventure just simply contained seven bodies. Five boys and two adult leaders. They decided to take a weeend backpacking trip into the forest and camp out at a clearing that satellite images on Google had shown. They'd spend the entire Saturday there, then return on Sunday. The group of boys consisted of the Patrol leader, Nick Tepp. He was the crazy guy that had the idea in the first place. He was pretty fit and an all around good organizer. He's the son of the lead Scoutmaster, Michael Tepp. Mike was all about reading into survival books and literature, and had his favorite shows about that subject. The only problem is that that's all he ever did. He never had tried surviving out in the wild before.

The second of five kids was the assistant Patrol Leader, Greg Schaeffer. He was a scrawny kid and wore giant glasses and was significantly younger than the rest of the boys. He had a quick sense of humor and was very intelligent, however, which is what he had rode on to get his position. The third was the Quartermaster and Chef, Owen White. He was a plump boy who was on his last year of being a scout and had set his sights on a top college in the state. He had stopped caring about scouts a long while ago, but the new campout had piqued his interest and he decided to tag along for the ride and see how it went.

The fourth and fifth were brothers. The older one was Jack Klepton. He had been known to be a class clown and generally a ne'er-do-well. He had always slacked off in school, but promises of adventure always brought a sparkle in his eye and a determined smile like he could take on the world. The younger one, Keith, was the opposite end. He was studious and anti-social. He hated scouts and hated nature. The only reason why he had come was because his father, another one of the scout masters, had forced him on the trip, believing to give his sons a litt bit of fresh air. Kevin Klepton was a lot more fit than Mike, but shared his older son's stubborn state of mind and was much more daring, despite the white hairs starting to cover his head.... Or at least what little bit of his head that can grow hair.

They had left to go into the forest with High hopes and full stomachs, laughing and taking a quick pace for the trail, yet had no idea what was to become of them and that none would return to see thier families and friends.

An acoustic version of “What Side of Love” has since also been released on Spotify, YouTube, iTunes, and Apple music.

Cannot find document in SharePoint Recycle Bin?

March 19, 2010

Ever searched for a document or list item in SharePoint 2007 Recycle Bin with no luck? You know the document was deleted from the SharePoint site, so why does it not show up here? Here’re possible reasons for that:

-   Are you looking at the correct site? Recycle Bin in SharePoint is site-specific, a document deleted from _http://myportal/sites/projects/manhattan_ will not appear in the top level site’s (_http://myportal/sites/projects_) Recycle Bin.
-   Were it you who deleted the document? Recycle Bin is not only site-specific, it is also specific for each user. Thus the Recycle Bin contents you see is limited to documents, items, lists and libraries that you’ve deleted, content deleted by other users does not show up here.
-   How long ago was it deleted?  Recycle Bin does not keep deleted items for ever. The default setting in SharePoint is to keep content in Recycle Bin for 30 days after deletion, this can be changed by the SharePoint farm administrators. When this grace period is over, items are moved to the second stage aka Site Collection Recycle Bin.

If any of the above seems to be the likely reason, the Site Collection Recycle Bin can help. To access this, you should have the site collection administrator privileges. Site Collection Recycle Bin shows all the deleted content from all sub-sites within this site collection, regardless of who deleted this data. By default it keeps the data for the same period after it was moved from the first stage Recycle Bin, or until it reaches certain percentage of the site collection’s quota.

Still there can be situations when a deleted item/document does not appear in both site and site collection Recycle Bins. The most common is when a folder or entire list or library is deleted. Recycle Bin only shows the object that has been deleted, with no ability to expand or search its contents. When looking for a document make sure you consider that possibly its parent folder or library can be showing up in the Recycle Bin instead.

Finally, there are site deletes, which are not captured by the Recycle Bin. If this is a common situation in your SharePoint, you might want to extend your deployment with the MSIT Site Delete Capture tool (available at http://governance.codeplex.com/releases/view/3830), or looks for 3rd party granular recovery tools.

Same applies to SharePoint 2007 as well as 2010, there are no changes in how you work with the Recycle Bin in SharePoint 2010.

Some useful links and resources for planning and using the Recycle Bin in SharePoint:

-   For business users: View, restore, or delete items in the Recycle Bin article on SharePoint help and how-to site (http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepointtechnology/HA100214341033.aspx)
