I don't remember the first time I met her, but it was in some kind of abstract kind of way. The colours around us were always loose and steady, mad colours that no one had ever heard of or seen.
Connie and I were both mad you see. We were both seeing psychiatrists, both once a week.

'How have you been the past week? The psychiatrist would say

'Not bad' I would always say. I would very rarely say how bad I'd been feeling.

'And what have you been up to?'

'Nothing much'

'Shall we go over what we talked about last week?'

'Yes, if you want'

Sometimes talking about things made everything worse, a lot of the time I'd come out feeling more depressed than before I came in.
It would go much the same for Connie except she would be much more honest about things.

'Have you been up to much over the past week'

'Yes, a lot' Connie would say 'I've fucked two men since I last saw you'. And the
Psychiatrist's face would be in a kind of shock for a while.

'And anything else?'

'Yes, I've also fucked two women.'

'Oh, my. All that in the last week'

'Yes'

Connie and I spoke nearly every day. We'd fall out quite often and it was usually over something that I did. Mostly not turning up to places that I'd say I was turning up to. Her brother was an alcoholic and I knew him through a friend who he lived in a flat with and he was managing the band I was in at the time. He promised us fame and glory but in the end he turned out to be liar.
Connie's parents were nice people. Her mother was an English teacher and her father was a blues musician.
When I was a gigging musician her father played with us and helped with gigs. He is a very fine musician. The last time I spoke to him he asked If I was still playing music and still with the band?

'No, not anymore' I said

'Why not?

'Musical differences'

'Yes, that happens a lot.'

It was my birthday and Connie was putting on a birthday party for me at her home. She had two kids and a now a dog. Which was a beagle named Gatsby. The first time I met Gatsby I knocked on Connie's front door and she opened it and Gatsby ran out into the road while a car was coming and I ran out into the road and saved him. He tried to bite me after it all. But after that all he does is lick me and give me affection.

The birthday party was on a Saturday. It was originally meant to be on a Monday, then a Tuesday, then a Friday and finally we settled on a Saturday. The reason for all this being a certain person could only make it on a Saturday. Her name was Caitlin and she was a beauty.
She had long dark hair and a body that danced beneath the tide. Connie and Caitlin didn't get on and Connie didn't really want Caitlin at the party but she said it was OK as it's my Birthday.
Connie thought Caitlin was jealous of her because She spent so much time with me and Caitlin was in love with me and she couldn't handle it.

'She's in deep with you, you know' Connie said

'No, she's not'

'Yes, she is. She fucking wants your babies!'

'Oh, God please. Don't be silly'

Connie was on the brink on being an alcoholic and she would say the same of me. I bought mostly whiskey for the birthday party and two crates of beer. We both drank a lot and some would say too much.
There were a few more people attending the party. Mostly girls and one boy and in the end he never turned up.
I arrived at the party at 6 in the evening. It was a sunny day with a slight wind blowing in the distance. It felt soothing on your face. There was only one other person who was there at that time, her name was lotte.

'Hello' she said

'Hey, how long have you been here?' I asked

'Oh, not long. About 20 minutes'

'I see. And what you drinking then?'

'Cider. What about you?'

'Whiskey and beer'

'Manly drinks then'

Yes, I suppose you could say that.'

Connie was busy with her kids. Giving them their supper and getting the younger one ready for bed.
I sat in a chair silently looking around the room. The TV was on. It was some children's programme.
I had my eye on a fly flying about. It flew on the window and then the curtain and then finally landed on the TV which is where it stayed for the remainder of the night. I was waiting on Caitlin mostly. I was looking forward to seeing her.

'When is Caitlin getting here?' Connie asked

'She said 8 o clock to me'

'What time is it now?'

'7:15'. I'm meeting her at the bus station at 8'

Nothing much happened in the next 45 minutes apart from some very small small talk. By then I had had about 3 bottles of beer and Lotte had drank half a bottle of cider and Connie was already drunk.

'I'm off to meet Caitlin' I said

I arrived at the bus stop on time and Caitlin had not yet arrived. It was now rather cold and the sun had gone into hiding. The breeze was cold against my face. Not long the moon was about to make an appearance. I looked up to the sky thinking about things and I felt an empty feeling inside me. I don't know why but my heart heard the dancing of the soul and could not dance to the same rhythm and I felt lost.
It was now 8:25 and Caitlin had not yet arrived. I tried to ring her and there was no answer. I looked up at the sky some more and pondered the world and after pondering the world for another 35 minutes and I gave up and went back to Connie's.

'Where's Caitlin?' Connie asked

'Don't think she's turning up'

'I'm rather glad really'

'Yes. We shall drink the wine I bought for her'

We opened the bottle of wine and drank it from the bottle.

'We're all mad here, you know' said Connie

'What do you mean? I asked

'Lotte is one of us'

'Oh, is she?'

'Yes, she is'

And Lotte smiled splendidly at the situation and became drunk rather quickly. We went into the garden as it turned dark and laughed at the stars while sitting down in the long grass.

'Yes, we're all mad here' we all said

The party was a boring one and we were all home by midnight.

They are both mad people. Connie says he can't handle Caitlin wanting his babies and Connie drinking. She also says that Lotte is also a mad person. The narrator, Connie, and Lotte drink wine.

text: The information is confused

refinement: Connie and the narrator are both mad. They both see psychiatrists once a week. Connie is putting up a birthday party for the narrator. They have changed the birthday date several times to accommodate Caitlin who could only make it on Saturday. Connie and the beautiful Caitlin don’t get on. Connie says that Caitlin is in love with the narrator. Connie is on the brink of being an alcoholic and the narrator also drinks too much. Only girls come to the party. They all drink too much. Caitlin doesn’t pitch. Lotte another of the guests helps them to drink the booze. The party was boring so they were all in bed by midnight.

answer:
The narrator and Connie, who is "mad" like him, have both seen psychiatrists. The psychiatrist asks them questions about how they feel and how they've been over the week but they refuse to fully answer, instead providing their own opinions like how they've been grouchy lately due to seasonal affective disorder or how they wish they could stop smoking. Somehow they're two of the only guests at Connie’s birthday party. Connie says there should only be five people at the party – the narrator, herself, her kids, her husband, and Caitlin, a "beauty with long dark hair and a body that danced beneath the tide". It's the narrator's birthday and he's expecting alot from Caitlin.

Lotte, a new girl to the city, hugs the narrator at Connie's party. She says she just got there when Caitlin left, claiming she had a migraine headache. Lotte reveals she came because Connie invited her to, and she is a friend of Jenni, Connie's husband's mother. Jenni hinted to Connie she wanted to have a meeting with her narrator and wife Lotte. The birthday party is a meh experience and everyone leaves after midnight.

answer:
The narrator and Connie are both mad. They are both once a week visitors to their psychiatrists. Connie likes sleeping around while the narrator seldom gives the doctor an accurate portrayal of how he felt. They both love alcohol. Connie yearns for a baby but feels Caitlin is in love with the narrator.
The narrator decides to throw a party for his birthday at Connie's place. Connie says Caitlin, who he plans to meet at the station at the same time as the party, hates them and is in love with the narrator. Producer Connie and Caitlin are not going to see eye-to-eye, and Caitlin behaves as though she hates Connie.

Cathy arrives and pleasantly interacts with everyone. Connie says she is as mad as oneself and one of them. Lotte says the same too.

answer:
They are all asylum seekers, both in a relationship with a psychiatrist, they're weird and they belong to a rock band.
There's Connie and her two kids and a third as of the time of this story: Gatsby, a beagle.

They both drink heavily and put on desperate bravado. They are similar.

It's Connie's turn to host her birthday party. They both want Caitlin to come as she is good looking. Connie thinks Caitlin is attracted to the male narrator (PN). PN doesn't want her to think he's attracted to Caitlin. Connie thinks Caitlin wants to have his babies.

Lotte is an asylum seeker. She's excited at the flat along with PN and Connie. She always tries to drink and feel. She enjoys alcohol, the gifts of the asylum seeker's provisions.

She has had a session with a psychiatrist. The narrator talks about mental health, peer-group pressure, how the asylum seeker has been given an opportunity to get into society. The asylum seeker is manic. She would have had a greater chance of recovery if she stayed in her own country.

She was a member of a rock band but got depressed and sought asylum.

She seems down on their own alcohol abuse, and they laugh about how they are all mad. Connie drinks heavily from the wine. We have had the narrator off to meet Caitlin. They drank from the bottle of wine. Connie thought Lotte was of their kind when she confessed.

Lotte is overjoyed at the birthday party. Everyone is pleasantly buzzed. A session of drinking takes place with songs at an asylum seeker's party. PN dresses up when it's Connie's birthday.

TEXTURE adds to the feel of a space. An exterior surface finish can give an organic feel to your interiors, while adding sleek, smooth-finish metallic furniture can lend that touch of sophistication. Mixing a variety of materials – glass and acrylic with exotic woods, can give the space a dimension of eclectic.

LIGHTING can effectively highlight or understate. With the variety of lighting options available, the fixtures themselves may act as central focal pieces or they may be subtle, drawing attention to a particularly interesting corner.

The smallest details have the potential to add significant character. A traveller’s home can be an ode to his adventures, a collector’s passion may reflect on his walls, adorned with rare pieces, and a nature enthusiast’s living space can sport a fresh green tinge and flowers changing with the seasons.

Sunday 16th October 1955

65 years ago

Stirling Moss and Peter Collins won the Targa Florio driving a Mercedes 300 SL. The race was held over 13 laps of the 44.64 miles of the Circuito delle Madonie Piccolo, giving a distance of 581.604 miles. Each team of drivers was expected to navigate approximately 10,000 curves during almost 10 hours of driving combined. The Daimler team manager, Alfred Neubauer was planning on each driving being able to run four lap stints. The first car, an Alfa Romeo 1900 TI started off at 07:00, with subsequent cars departing every 30 seconds. The first of the main competitors, the Ferrari 750 Monza driven by Luigi Piotti and Franco Cornacchia would leave at 07:24:30. Very quickly, Moss set a blistering pace and broke the track record by two and a half minutes. Although his Mercedes was one of the last to be flagged off, he had passed everyone by the end of lap one. Castellotti's Ferrari split the Mercedes of Moss and Fangio. At the end of the fourth lap Castellotti was in first place and Moss was in a ditch. Moss had crashed but the Mercedes was still in working order if slightly bruised. After help from some spectators Moss was back on the road but now in fourth place. Collins exchanged places with Moss and took up the chase. Fangio passed the leading Ferrari and handed his car to Kling. Mercedes were now in first, third and fourth. The Mercedes of Moss and Collins would certainly have its fair share of obvious moments, scattered all around the car’s body. Still, it was going very fast. The area around the headlights were badly damaged, front corners on both sides were stripped away. And the right side panel looked as though they had had a number of encounters with buildings as the two Englishmen pushed the 300SLR hard through the Sicilian countryside. On one occasion, Moss pushed at a bit too hard and would go careening off the side of the track. The car avoided heavy damage, and with the help of some local spectators, Moss would rejoin the race, still leading. Trouble struck again when Collins drove straight up a stone wall, his front wheels spinning in the air. Fortunately he was able to put his car in reverse and rejoined the battle. Collins worked his way up to first before returning the car to Moss. Moss drove the only way that he knew how and won going away or in the words of Peter Collins "despite Stirling's efforts and my own to write the machine off!" Mercedes won the race and with it the sports car championship only to quit racing for the second time. As a result, car number 104 (Daimler-Benz AG), took an impressive victory, winning in a time of 9hrs 43.14 mins., averaging a speed of 59.832 mph. Second place went to Fangio and Kling, for the second race in a row, 4mins and 41 seconds adrift. The podium was complete by the Ferrari 860 Monza of Castellotti and Manzon, a further 5mins 25 behind. Meanwhile, the third Mercedes of Titterington and Fitch were fourth. Next home was the first of the Maserati’s, in hand of Carlos Manzini and Francesco Giardini.

O.P.M. LEASING SERVICES, INC. was a computer leasing company that was involved in one of the biggest corporate scandals at the time it filed bankruptcy in 1981, with fraud of over $200 million.

O.P.M. Leasing Services (OPM stood for Other People's Money) was started in 1970 in Brooklyn by Mordecai Weissman and Myron Goodman. It later moved its headquarters to Manhattan. It grew to be one of the five largest computer leasing companies in the country.[1]

O.P.M. Leasing Services borrowed money to purchase computers that it would then lease to corporate customers. The computers and the assignment of the lease, in turn, would be used as collateral for the loan. Lease payments would be used to service the loan. Lenders included banks, thrifts, insurance companies, and pension funds. Customers who leased the computers included Merrill Lynch, Xerox, American Express, and General Motors, with Rockwell International being the largest. The company expanded rapidly because it offered more generous lease terms to its customers than did its competitors.

The fraud started in 1972 when the company began forging and altering leases, using the same lease as collateral for multiple loans, creating fictitious leases for computers that did not exist, and inflating the value of the lease payments.

The downfall came in February 1981, when it was discovered that a signature on one of the Rockwell International leases was forged. The company filed for bankruptcy the following month. Goodman was sentenced to 12 years in prison and Weissman to 10 years; five other employees were also sent to prison. (Goodman and Weissman had also purchased control of the First National Bank of Jefferson Parish in Louisiana in 1978, which they used to kite checks for O.P.M. In March 1980, O.P.M. Services pleaded guilty in the check-kiting scheme and was fined $110,000.)[2][3]

The bankruptcy trustee wrote a report on the fraud, criticizing its auditor (Fox & Company), its investment banker (Lehman Brothers Kuhn Loeb), its law firm (Singer Hutman Levine & Seeman) and Rockwell International. It indicated gross negligence among many of the outside parties and that some of them were aware of the fraud but did not report it, or sometimes abetted it.[4]

The fraud started in 1972 when the company began forging and altering leases, using the same lease as collateral for multiple loans, creating fictitious leases for computers that did not exist, and inflating the value of the lease payments. The downfall came in February 1981, when it was discovered that a signature on one of the Rockwell International leases was forged. The company filed for bankruptcy the following month. Goodman was sentenced to 12 years in prison and Weissman to 10 years; five other employees were also sent to prison.

answer: O.P.M Leasing Services Inc. was a computer leasing company founded in 1970 in Brooklyn by Mordecai Weissman and Myron Goodman that became involved in one of the biggest corporate scandals at the time, committing fraud of over $200 million. The company operated by borrowing money to buy computers it would lease to corporate customers, using the computers and the lease assignment as collateral for the loan. Lease payments would then be used to service the loan, hence the name OPM (Other People's Money) because they are using other people's money to make money. The company committed fraud in 1972 by forging and altering leases, using the same lease as collateral for other loans, and other methods. OPM also bought the National Bank of Jefferson Parish in Lousiana in 1978 and used it for kiting checks. Goodman was sentenced to 12 years, while Weissman got 10 years.

answer: Marry him

answer: He wants her to accept his marriage proposal.

question: Why does the woman refuse?

answer: The woman rejects the man's proposal because she does not wish to be romanced in this childish and overly sentimental way. She would rather be romanced in an honest, grown-up manner.

answer: It is not stated.

question: Describe how he tried to convince her this time.

answer: In this chat, the man tries to convince the woman to marry him by describing a happy future they would have together, emphasizing how romantic and fun their life would be. He also tries joking about the couple's children's reaction to being "forced" to witness such a romantic display of affection, hoping it may persuade her.

answer: He described a perfect future they would have with a romantic story they could tell their children about how he got her to accept his proposal.

answer: He makes a case for their supposedly perfect future life together, talking about laughing, romance, and love. He also uses poetic language to wax poetic about their relationship, imagining cuddling on a porch at night, watching the stars with each other.

question: Write a ~2 sentence summary.

answer: The two characters go back and forth discussing proposals the protagonist would like to attempt, ultimately concluding with a happier ending involving a life with children and happily ever after.

Ultimately they decide they would be happiest living out their days in happiness, with their 2 children, watching the stars from their porch swing.

answer: In this chat, G proposes to R multiple times, discussing various scenarios of their life together. R seems content with the flattery, but does not seem that eager to be married.

Opinions expressed by _Entrepreneur_ contributors are their own.

Leveraging the power of content and social media marketing can help elevate your audience and customer base in a dramatic way. But getting started without any previous experience or insight could be challenging.

It's vital that you understand social media marketing fundamentals. From maximizing quality to increasing your online entry points, abiding by these 10 laws will help build a foundation that will serve your customers, your brand and -- perhaps most importantly -- your bottom line.

10 Laws of Social Media Marketing

The Law of Listening

[The Law of Listening]

Success with social media and content marketing requires more listening and less talking. Read your target audience's online content and join discussions to learn what's important to them. Only then can you create content and spark conversations that add value rather than clutter to their lives.

10 Laws of Social Media Marketing

The Law of Focus

[The Law of Focus]

It's better to specialize than to be a jack-of-all-trades. A highly-focused social media and content marketing strategy intended to build a strong brand has a better chance for success than a broad strategy that attempts to be all things to all people.

10 Laws of Social Media Marketing

The Law of Quality

[The Law of Quality]

Quality trumps quantity. It's better to have 1,000 online connections who read, share and talk about your content with their own audiences than 10,000 connections who disappear after connecting with you the first time.

10 Laws of Social Media Marketing

The Law of Patience

[The Law of Patience]

Social media and content marketing success doesn't happen overnight. While it's possible to catch lightning in a bottle, it's far more likely that you'll need to commit to the long haul to achieve results.

The Law of Compounding

If you publish amazing, quality content and work to build your online audience of quality followers, they'll share it with their own audiences on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, their own blogs and more.

This sharing and discussing of your content opens new entry points for search engines like Google to find it in keyword searches. Those entry points could grow to hundreds or thousands of more potential ways for people to find you online.

The Law of Influence

Spend time finding the online influencers in your market who have quality audiences and are likely to be interested in your products, services and business. Connect with those people and work to build relationships with them.

If you get on their radar as an authoritative, interesting source of useful information, they might share your content with their own followers, which could put you and your business in front of a huge new audience.

10 Laws of Social Media Marketing

The Law of Value

[The Law of Value]

If you spend all your time on the social Web directly promoting your products and services, people will stop listening. You must add value to the conversation. Focus less on conversions and more on creating amazing content and developing relationships with online influencers. In time, those people will become a powerful catalyst for word-of-mouth marketing for your business.

10 Laws of Social Media Marketing

The Law of Acknowledgment

[The Law of Acknowledgment]

You wouldn't ignore someone who reaches out to you in person so don't ignore them online. Building relationships is one of the most important parts of social media marketing success, so always acknowledge every person who reaches out to you.

10 Laws of Social Media Marketing

The Law of Accessibility

[The Law of Accessibility]

Don't publish your content and then disappear. Be available to your audience. That means you need to consistently publish content and participate in conversations. Followers online can be fickle and they won't hesitate to replace you if you disappear for weeks or months.

10 Laws of Social Media Marketing

The Law of Reciprocity

[The Law of Reciprocity]

Image credit: Bloomua | Shutterstock

You can't expect others to share your content and talk about you if you don't do the same for them. So, a portion of the time you spend on social media should be focused on sharing and talking about content published by others.

Uneasiness was setting in. No no, that's incorrect. This uneasiness, it was present at the very beginning. It's not nervousness. It's not anxiousness, nor fear. It's unsettling coldness. Yes, it was uneasiness, and it was there the moment a reached the foot of the basement stairs.

Stairs? I have no recollection of these stairs. I couldn't paint the faintest picture of these stairs. How did they feel? Were they carpeted? Were they wooden? Were the stairs to short that I couldn't walk down them without turning my feet and walking down with my body slightly cocked to the side? No, I'd remember that. Wait, are there even stai-. Yes. Yes there is. That much I am certain of. There are stairs, and I'm at the bottom of them.

I know I'm in the basement too. Or is this a cellar? I'd certainly describe the room my left a cellar. Its floor is cold, broken concrete. Its concrete walls lined with shelves. No recollection of what's on the shelves. However, I'm not standing in a cellar. Cellars don't have carpet, and I'm standing on carpet. Ugly carpet too. Its main color a burnt orange. Patterns are painted in with brown. It's old carpet, and I'm now repulsed by it, desperately desiring to move off it.

I step out. How long had I been standing still? I begin moving quickly now. I'm now in a hallway. The hallway is too narrow. Two people could not walk abreast without being uncomfortably close. I was alone. Why did this narrow hallway anger me the way it did? The hallway walls didn't help my mood either. They were covered with that shiny, pathetic excuse of fake wood.

Finally, the room I was being drawn to. More bad carpet. This time a green shag carpet covers the floor. A bedroom. The bed was made, but with old, unused linen. A dresser and mirror are to my right. I walk in. I notice another room past the dresser. A light is on in the room. Uneasiness is with me again. I need to see what's in that room. No. Then I realize whatever is in that room is not supposed to be seen by me. I can't handle the uneasiness any longer. I would rather feel the coldness of death. Death, that's exactly what awaits me in that room. I step closer. Breathing becomes difficult. I'm closer now. Very close. One more step, that's all I need to take. I close my eyes, take the step, and turn.

I open my eyes. Only darkness, I'm now awake. A feeling of uneasiness, it's the only thing I bring back with me from my recurring dream.
