starring KENNETH WILLIAMS, CLEMENT FREUD, PETER JONES and LORRAINE CHASE, chaired by NICHOLAS PARSONS (Radio, 18 December 1979)
Note: This was transcribed by Vicki Walker. Thank you Vicki! :-) Lorraine Chase's only appearance.
ANNOUNCER: We present Kenneth Williams, Peter Jones, Clement Freud and Lorraine Chase in Just a Minute. And as the Minute Waltz fades away, here to tell you about it is our chairman, Nicholas Parsons.
NICHOLAS PARSONS: Thank you! Hello and welcome to Just a Minute. And as youĺve just heard, we welcome ah Lorraine Chase, whoĺs very courageously come along to do battle against our three regular and witty competitors of the game. So, welcome, Lorraine.
LORRAINE CHASE: I hope I don't regret it! (laughs)
NP: And once again Iĺm going to ask them all to speak if they can for just a minute on a subject that I will give them and try and do it without hesitation, without repetition and without deviating from the subject on the card. And weĺll begin the show with Kenneth Williams, and the subject, Kenneth, ho ho! A right one for you: Taking a diabolical liberty. Will you tell us something on that subject and do it in 60 seconds starting now.
KENNETH WILLIAMS: Well, surely no more diabolical liberty was ever taken than that which was perpetrated by Napoleon when he left Elba. Because, a, it was certainly diabolical, and the liberty was not one which had any validity, do you see. But oh Í
NP: Lorraine Chase has challenged.
LC: I canĺt understand a word heĺs saying! Am I allowed to get me dictionary out?
KW: Well I can't translate it for you!
NP: There are 35 seconds left, Kenneth, for you to continue on the subject, having gained a point for an incorrect challenge, and the subject is taking a diabolical liberty starting now.
KW: One of the interpretations, since I was interrupted in my flow about Napoleon and Elba so I canĺt continue with that, is that diabolical liberties are taken when people assume, or shall we say presume, upon the generosity or kindness, albeit unwillingly given of oneĺs host or patron, as the French always put it...
KW: Í because they Í
NP: Uh. Clement Freud has challenged.
CLEMENT FREUD: Repetition of Napoleon and Elba.
NP: Yes, quite.
KW: A bit late in the day, wasnĺt it? You didnĺt get it off.
LC: I didnĺt know you couldnĺt say that.
KW: You just did it now to get in on the last few seconds! You know that, donĺt you?
LC: You know the awful... I was, I was going to get that. I knew that he said it before...
NP: Actually, it was a very shrewd tactic, Ĺcause I spotted it as I have to listen Í
LC: So did I! So did I!
NP: Yes!
LC: Well, I thought it didnĺt matter because he said it on the first half.
NP: No! If he repeats it and you, youĺve interrupted him and he repeats it again, you get in there.
LC: Oh, story of my life.
KW: You didnĺt clock it.
LC: Too late.
NP: Anyway, Clement cleverly came in later because now he only has 12 seconds to talk on this subject, he gets a point for a correct challenge and he has the subject, taking a diabolical liberty, starting now.
CF: This is a rot-
NP: Ah, Peter Jones has challenged.
PETER JONES: Hesitation.
NP: Yes, Peter, well done. Peter Jones was taking a diabolical liberty and he got in there, 10 seconds are left, taking a diabolical liberty starting now.
PJ: Diabolical means ľ
NP: Ah, Lorraine Chase.
LC: Hesitation. That seems to get it every time!
NP: No, he actually hadnĺt been going for half a second.
LC: Oh, well Iĺll let him off, then.
NP: Well, thatĺs very, very generous of you, I must say. Taking a diabolical liberty, Peter, starting now.
PJ: Diabolical really means like the devil. So that itĺs got to be a really ghastly kind of liberty that heĺs taken to qualify for this adjective, diabolical.
LC: Oh, well done!
NP: So Ian Messiter, who blows the whistle when 60 seconds is up, and whoever is speaking at that moment gains an extra point. It was Peter Jones, and heĺs in the lead at the end of the first round. Clement Freud, will you begin the second round? The subject is sponge fingers, starting now.
CF: Sponge fingers are things which people put into trifles, and Iĺm never quite sure why other than that when custard is poured upon the aforementioned sponge finger, the sponge finger becomes soggy, limpid, bland, yucky and ugly. It is hard to imagine items of greater trivia than sponge fingers, because it is virtually impossible to discourse on that particular subject, even if it is only for another 31 seconds but I will attempt ľ
NP: Kenneth Williams...
KW: Deviation. He said itĺs impossible to discourse and heĺs just doing it! So therefore what he says is untrue! Right, thatĺs deviation, isnĺt it?
NP: Not deviating from the subject on the card. Twenty-six seconds left starting now.
CF: Take flour, sugar, milk, eggs, yeast and fingers with which you mix the five ...
NP: Kenneth Williams.
KW: Devia- uh, hesitation.
NP: Yes, there was a definite hesitation. Kenneth, a point, the subject, and 17 seconds to talk on sponge fingers, starting now.
KW: The only time I found them of any use whatsoever is when I dip them into things which are prepared gelatinously with sweet things, pudding, pies...
LC: Oh yes, oh, itĺs too late.
NP: Uh, Peter Jones has challenged.
PJ: Repetition of things.
NP: Yes, that is right, Peter. There are seven seconds for you now on sponge fingers starting now.
PJ: Sponge cakes are things you put in trifles. Sponge fingers are used for making other types of dessert when you put the things round Í
LC: Oh, you did say things again, that you did, like he did before...
NP: Peter Jones was then speaking as the whistle went, so he gained an extra point for doing so. Peter Jones, itĺs your turn to begin. The subject is tongue twisters. Can you tell us something about those in just a minute starting now.
PJ: Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled pepper. Now thatĺs one tongue twister. And I donĺt like them because apart from anything else theyĺre so terribly far-fetched. Itĺs just ridiculous to imagine someone picking that quantity of pickled pepper, which Iĺve...
PJ: ...now repeated of course.
NP: Um, Clement Freud has challenged.
LC: Oh, he did, he did.
NP: Yes, he did tell us why.
CF: Yes.
NP: All right. All right. There are 44 seconds on tongue twisters, Clement, starting now.
CF: So she bought some better butter, put it in her bitter batter, and you canĺt really do tongue twisters on this programme because they are incredibly repetitive, even while they have no element of hesitation about them. I particularly admired Mr Peter Jonesĺ tongue twister because it is one that I can never remember, whereas the ones that I recall Í
NP: Uh, Kenneth Williams has challenged.
KW: Hesitation.
NP: No!
KW: Well, it was boring, then!
NP: So I agree with you about being boring but he wasnĺt actually hesitating. And so he carries on if he can on tongue twisters with 23 seconds left starting now.
CF: I donĺt think I can!
NP: And Lorraine Chase has challenged.
LC: I didnĺt! I didnĺt!
NP: Well done, Lorraine, that was very quick of you. And you have 20 seconds...
LC: I didnĺt touch it!
NP: You start now.
LC: Ah well tongue twisters, um well, Iĺm not really an authority on um things of this nature, of this ilk. But Iĺll have a go Ĺcause Iĺll have a go at most things, well almost most things ľ but, um, have I done it yet? Tongue twisters are, um, ah, let me ľ
NP: Kenneth you challenged.
KW: Hesitation!
LC: Oh! Oh!
KW: Sheĺs dreadfully taking all the time!
NP: I know she was. There are five seconds on tongue twisters with you starting now.
KW: This does not occur with someone whose diction is as exquisite as mine. When you say what an unsupersuitable...
NP: So Kenneth Williams was then speaking as the whistle went. He gained an extra point. And let me give you the score at this particular moment. Ah, Clement Freud and Peter Jones are equal in the lead, one point behind is Kenneth Williams, and two or three behind them is Lorraine Chase.
LC: Oooh.
NP: And Lorraine, itĺs your turn to begin. The subject is snuggling. Will you tell us something about snuggling in Just A Minute starting now.
NP: Youĺve obviously never snuggled.
LC: No!
NP: Kenneth Williams, you challenged.
KW: Hesitation.
NP: A very definite hesitation, Iĺm afraid, Lorraine. Couldnĺt even get going!
LC: I was dumbstruck.
NP: There are 57 seconds on snuggling with you, Kenneth, starting now.
KW: The reason Lorraine Chase canĺt talk about snuggling is because she is, though appearing to be worldly, a na´ve creature whoĺs never been out with boys and got into what we would call a snuggling embrace. She doesnĺt do it, she doesnĺt know what it means, and therefore ...
KW: ...is totally unable...
NP: Peter Jones has challenged.
KW: ... to discuss it.
PJ: Well, itĺs absolute rubbish, of course.
NP: Because you know from personal experience, do you?
PJ: No, I wish I did! But, uh, he repeated doesnĺt, and uh I thought it was altogether embarrassing. It was prying into somebodyĺs personal life.
LC: Aw.
PJ: And it has no business on this program.
NP: What is your challenge, Peter?
PJ: Uh, repetition of doesnĺt!
NP: Peter, you have the subject and there are 35 seconds left on snuggling, starting now.
PJ: Snuggling is comparatively innocent, really. Itĺs something that one can do in a sleeping bag if you have somebody else to join you and ah no one is likely to really object to it except possibly oneĺs wife or uh, some er...
NP: Kenneth Williams has challenged.
KW: Hesitation. Or uh.
NP: Yes, I mean some wives enjoy a good snuggle. Twenty seconds are left on snuggling with you, Kenneth, starting now.
KW: The best thing to do is get into the warmth of woollen blankets, wrap them around yourself and feel so warm and satisfied...
NP: And, um, Lorraine Chase has challenged.
LC: Yes, he was, um, hesitating. Definitely. It was very un... unheardible. Edible. No, what is it?
PJ: Inaudible.
LC: Inaudible.
PJ: Inaudible. Yes, it was. It was, really.
CF: It wasnĺt very edible, either. Totally inedible!
LC: Oh!
NP: I agree with you, Lorraine. It was all those things!
LC: It was, wasnĺt it?
NP: Inedible, inaudible and, umÍ
LC: Things of this nature.
CF: I think she should have three points!
PJ: Yes. And I do think she should have an opportunity of speaking on snuggling, otherwise the whole world is going to think sheĺs frigid! Because after all that antipropaganda that Kenneth put out, I mean, itĺs just shocking.
NP: Dried up?
PJ: Could ruin her image altogether!
NP: Lorraine, gather your wits and talk if you can for eight seconds on snuggling starting now.
LC: Well, my favorite thing to snuggle into is a nice fur coat. Oh itĺs lovely, lovely. Iĺd love to hhve a nice fur coat to snuggle into. Oh ľ
LC: Oh, a point, a point, a point, yes.
NP: Well, much to everyoneĺs delight, Lorraine Chase did keep going for eight seconds, and she repeated the same words about eight times Í
LC: Oh, did I?
NP: She got a point for speaking when the whistle went, which is so important. Sheĺs still, alas, in fourth place but, um, sheĺs doing very well. Kenneth, your turn to begin. The subject is Saint George. Will you tell us something about him in just a minute starting now.
KW: Great doubt has been thrown on the validity of his sainthood, when Rome pronounced that no records provide for any knowing canonisation of this particular man. He was confused by Gibbon with George of Capedocia, and that was a very foolish thing for him to have done because the tomb at Lida, where they say he is interred, is probably nothing to do with the Saint George of the Eastern Church, and they all assumed by law that it was. But if you trip --
NP: Peter Jones has challenged.
PJ: Repetition of assume.
NP: Yes. They assumed something a bit earlier on in your dissertation.
CF: Itĺs also repetition of Saint George because it wasnĺt the Saint George he was talking about earlier.
NP: But thatĺs beside... itĺs deviation from the subject on the card, which is Saint George.
LC: Oh, thatĺs very clever.
NP: Peter Jones, the subject is Saint George. There are 31 seconds left starting now.
PJ: Well, heĺs usually identified with this character who went out and defeated the dragon which frightened everybody else. And he gave his name to a number of pubs. Apart from anything else, the patron saint of the country, and these, uh...
NP: Kenneth Williams.
KW: Er. Hesitation.
NP: Yes. Kenneth, you have the subject back of Saint George, and there are 17 seconds left starting now.
KW: What Mr Jones in his lamentable ignorance failed to tell you is that he is the patron saint of Portugal. Now why they should have chosen him, I canĺt imagine.
NP: Uh, Peter Jones has challenged.
PJ: I think thatĺs deviation. Heĺs telling the audience what he says I failed to tell them, which is not the point.
KW: Thatĺs right.
PJ: Heĺs supposed to be telling them what he wants to tell them, not what I failed to tell them.
NP: He talked about your lamentable ignorance, which is deviating from the subject of Saint George.
PJ: Yes, well, my lamentable ignorance is fairly well known now. Iĺve been parading it over the air for years! But I donĺt want him to do it for me!
NP: Yes, and itĺs still got nothing to do with Saint George. So you have the subject back, Peter...
PJ: Thank you very much.
NP: And there are eight seconds left starting now.
PJ: Saint George for England. Saint Pancras for Scotland. That is the cry.
NP: And Kenneth Williams has challenged.
KW: Well, itĺs deviation. Saint Pancras is not for Scotland at all.
PJ: No, but thatĺs, thatĺs the station you leave from!
NP: Thatĺs the station you leave from. Yes! Itĺs a very good joke!
KW: Do you reckon?
NP: Yes!
KW: Well, itĺs because youĺve got a warped sense of humor!
NP: Peter, you have two seconds on Saint George starting now.
PJ: Saint George ľ
NP: And Clement Freud has challenged.
CF: Hesitation.
PJ: No, no.
KW: Yes, I think so.
LC: Aw, no! No!
PJ: Rubbish.
NP: Peter you have another point and one and a half seconds on Saint George starting now.
PJ: We have a statue of him in St. Johnĺs Wood.
LC: Oh! Well done.
NP: And Peter Jones gained the extra point for speaking as the whistle went, and a number for incorrect challenges, so he now has a very positive lead at the end of that round. Clement Freud, will you begin the next round? The subject: black jack. Will you tell us something about that in just a minute starting now.
CF: An awful lot of definitions of black jack, amongst which I would like to draw the attention of listeners to a substance with which soup is made darker than it was intended by the culinary expert who first thought of it. But possibly black jack in most peopleĺs minds conjures up a game of cards also known as pontoon or ven dien, blackjack being the casino version of it, in which the banker deals cards to customers and pays out to anyone who has closer to the magic figure of 21 than does the employee of the house who has put up the money and therefore has proprietorial charge of the casino in which this ľ
NP: And Lorraine Chase has challenged.
LC: Casino! Repetition.
PJ: You repeated.
NP: Yes, yes, well listened. So Lorraine, um, has got a challenge there which is correct and a point and there are 16 seconds, Lorraine ľ yes, you want to talk on the subject now, youĺve got it.
LC: (clears throat)
NP: And the subject is black jack and you start now.
LC: Blackjack, obviously, by the way, is being talked about here. Itĺs a game of cards. And um a ooh Iĺm deviating and um ah! Um Í
NP: Lorraine, you challenged.
LC: Hesitation!
NP: Perfectly correct challenge. So you get a point for that.
LC: Oh! How many seconds have I got left? Youĺre being kind. Go on.
NP: No, Iĺm not. You pressed the buzzer and you challenged yourself for some reason. And...
LC: When you challenge yourself Í
NP: Yes. It was never, itĺs not the usual way we play the game.
LC: I might have caught a flaw here. When you challenge yourself, it stops for a little while, you give me a point and then I go back on the subject.
NP: Yeah, youĺve hit on a new idea. If you keep it up...
LC: Right.
CF: But you could go blind!
LC: Eh? Right.
NP: There are seven seconds left for you to try and talk on black jack, Lorraine, starting now.
LC: Blackjack is a game of cards, a game of cards Í
NP: Lorraine Chase, youĺve challenged yourself.
LC: I repeated myself.
NP: Yeah.
LC: I could keep doing this all night!
NP: Ladies and gentlemen, we are now moving into a whole new era of panel games!
LC: Now Iĺm cheating. Go on.
NP: You may be cheating, but youĺre also winning points. There are three seconds left for black jack with you, Lorraine, starting now.
LC: Black jack Í
NP: Youĺve been challenged by Clement Freud.
CF: Repetition of horseradish.
NP: Did you say horseradish before, Lorraine?
LC: No.
NP: I didnĺt think you did. So Lorraine, you have an incor... two seconds to talk on black jack, starting now.
LC: Black Jack was the name of my first dog.
NP: So our guest, Lorraine Chase, playing the game in her own ingenious way...
LC: Cheating desperately!
NP: No, I donĺt know, it was rather, rather, rather unusual...
PJ: Resourceful.
NP: Resourcefulĺs the word, thank you very much. Yes. Um, you havenĺt quite caught up our leader, Lorraine Í
KW: Which is me-me- me!
NP: No, Peter Jones.
KW: Oh.
NP: But gaining so many points in that round with your resourceful way, you have come into second place ahead of Clement Freud, who is now trailing in fourth place, which is unusual. Kenneth Williams is in third place and Peter Jones, begin the next round. And the subject is thoughtfulness. Will you tell us something about that, Peter, 60 seconds starting now.
PJ: Yes, well thatĺs a very nice quality which I think I possess in a modest amount. When one goes to a theatre, for instance, itĺs nice to be thoughtful and put down the seat for a lady to sit on, provide her with a programme, a box of chocolates, information about the actors which youĺve mugged up beforehand, and generally binoculars or perhaps opera glasses are more appropriate unless the theatreĺs extremely large Í
NP: Lorraine Chase has challenged.
LC: Theatre.
NP: Yes, he repeated the word theatre.
PJ: Yes, thatĺs right, yes.
NP: Very well listened. Very well done. There are 35 seconds for you to talk on the subject of thoughtfulness, starting now.
LC: Um, well I think he's thoughtful too, and I quite like the idea of it, uh in going to the theater and doing all those nice things for people. How kind. When do you go to the theatre, by the way?
PJ: Well Í
LC: I love chocolates!
PJ: When are you free?
NP: Clement Freud has challenged.
LC: Um, well! I could fit it in, I could fit it in.
PJ: Yes well, uh, what about... actually... I happen...
NP: Will you two stop snuggling up together over there?
PJ: I happen to know that Lorraine is actually appearing in a play at the moment. Iĺve been to see it most nights that itĺs been on, and um ...
NP: How very thoughtful of you, Peter.
PJ: Yes, it was.
NP: Now shall we hear Clement Freudĺs challenge?
LC: You know, thatĺs thoughtfulness, you see.
NP: Clement, what was your challenge?
CF: Repetition of theatre. Weĺve had five now.
NP: Clement, you take over the subject of thoughtfulness and there are 23 seconds left starting now.
CF: I wish people would be more thoughtful when they went to the theatre when it comes to smoking because it does seem to me that although non...
NP: Kenneth Williams has challenged.
KW: Hesitation.
NP: Yes, I agree.
CF: Oh, I donĺt think so. Iĺm trying to make a point.
PJ: You get a point.
KW: Don't argue, don't argue!
NP: I think most theaters have stopped smoking now.
CF: Theatres never smoked. It was the patrons.
NP: Fourteen seconds on thoughtfulness, Kenneth, starting now.
KW: This has been indulged in for many years by the greatest sages all the way down from Plato. We have thoughtfulness engraved upon the human memory, indeed the recesses of European culture. Our one great...
NP: So at the end of that round, Kenneth Williams was speaking as the whistle went, gained that all important extra point. Kenneth Williams is now in second place alongside Lorraine Chase, and where better to be? Peter Jones is still in the lead and Clement Freud is trailing a little. Lorraine, itĺs your turn to begin and the subject is clothes. Will you tell us something about those in just a minute starting now.
LC: Well clothes, being thatĺs my favorite subject, are known in the cockney language as these and those. Um, love clothes, I can repeat that...
LC: ... canĺt I? Can I repeat clothes?
NP: Peter Jones has challenged.
PJ: Well I thought um sounded like a hesitation.
NP: Yes, it more than sounded like one, it was one.
LC: It did?
PJ: It was, yes, it was.
LC: Is um hesitation, isnĺt that funny. Do you know, Iĺve been using that for years and I thought it was like a word that you put in. Itĺs amazing, isnĺt it? You don't half learn a lot on here, don't you.
NP: If you thought um was a word, what did you think er was?
LC: Well, the same thing. You know, you bung a and in if youĺre a bit confused when you put a couple of sentences together, you bung a and in. Well, I thought if you was talking, and you didnĺt know how to get from one bit of conversation to the other, you put "um," "er," "ooh," "ah," things of this nature to color the conversation, to make the sentence a little bit Í
PJ: Well, you do, actually, but not in this game, you see.
LC: Oh.
PJ: Thatĺs why Iĺm so hopelessly bad at it! I mean I canĺt, I canĺt Í
NP: Peter, youĺre doing extremely well this week, and you have the subject again of, uh, not, you have this subject for the first time of clothes, and there are 51 seconds Í
LC: Who?
NP: Í starting now.
PJ: They maketh the man, thatĺs the story we hear. Well, of course itĺs absolute rubbish. But clothes ľ
NP: Uh, Kenneth Williams has challenged.
KW: Heĺs misquoted the proverb. Itĺs "manners maketh man."
NP: What is your challenge, then?
KW: He said clothes make them. They donĺt.
NP: Well, he still wasnĺt deviating from the subject.
KW: Of course he is. Heĺs deviating from the truth, you great nit! Everyone knows the expression.
NP: He might, he was just misquoting, but he wasnĺt deviating from the subject of clothes.
KW: Itĺs deviation! It doesnĺt say "deviating from the subject," it says "deviation." You mustnĺt deviate, thatĺs what it says. It doesnĺt say "from the subject." It says "deviation."
NP: The inventor sitting beside me. Itĺs deviating from the subject on the card, isnĺt it?
IAN MESSITER: Itĺs deviation from the subject, yes.
NP: Yes. Clothes, he wasnĺt deviating Í
KW: Thereĺs no use asking him, heĺs a bigger twerp than you!
NP: I wish I could think of...
CF: Anyway, it was deviation, because itĺs men who make clothes, it isnĺt clothes who make men.
KW: There, hear hear! Quite right!
NP: You can misquote as often as you like, provided you keep going on the subject, which Peter Jones is doing. And he has 46 seconds to continue on clothes, starting now.
PJ: Actually, Iĺve seen that phrase written up in the window at an outfitterĺs. And ľ
PJ: -- thatĺs where I got it from.
NP: Clement Freud has challenged.
CF: Repetition of phrase.
NP: Yes, you did use it before.
PJ: Ah, yes. So I did, yes.
NP: And I have to think back and you're right.
PJ: Marvelous memory!
LC: Swine!
NP: Forty-two seconds are left now on the subject of clothes with you, Clement Freud, starting now.
CF: A little clothing is a dangerous thing. A clothes in time makes nine. Come and clothes with me tomorrow night, Iĺm not doing anything else. There are infinite number of sayings in which "clothes" and "clothing" appears and I think itĺs high time that we add some of these since accuracy in acronyms seems to be no part of this game as currently interpreted by Nicholas Parsons, also known as the chairman who actually gets 4 pounds 75p more Í
CF: Í than the people who play it!
NP: Ah, Peter Jones has challenged.
PJ: I didnĺt know he was getting that much! Whoĺs your agent, Nicholas?
NP: I know! Itĺs a...
PJ: Get him working for me!
NP: ...ridiculous salary, yes. You donĺt get very much, but ...
PJ: No.
NP: You donĺt get much more either, do you Peter?
PJ: Well, I get the pencil and a pad, and then they give me the buzzer here.
NP: And you also get the subject, because he was deviating from clothes, talking about Nicholas Parsons, and, and er who wants to deviate as much as that? There are 10 seconds left for you, Peter, starting now.
PJ: Clothes often begin as sheepĺs wool. Theyĺre taken off the animal, and they are then then spun...
NP: Kenneth Williams has challenged.
KW: Weĺre, the subject is not sheepĺs wool and all, the subject is clothes. Itĺs not about sheep.
PJ: Well, thatĺs how they start.
KW: Yes, a lot of things start in a lot of fashions, dear, but we donĺt want to know about that! You talk about heating, we donĺt want to start hearing about how coal is dug out of the ground, do we? I mean, we want to see what itĺs actually like.
PJ: Why not?
NP: Why not?
PJ: There wouldnĺt be much heating without it!
KW: Well, I mean Iĺm not going to enter into some long etymological discussion...
NP: Well, then shut up! And let Peter continue...
KW: I mean I canĺt, the audience is screaming out for my voice. They want to hear me. You could pay money. Theyĺre screaming out for it.
NP: Well, they might want to hear your voice but alas it was an incorrect challenge, so I give it back to Peter to continue with four seconds to go on clothes, starting now.
PJ: Then they have to be woven and then after that Í
LC: Then. Oh.
NP: Lorraine Chase, you challenged.
LC: Then.
PJ: Two thens.
KW: Yes, sheĺs right, sheĺs right. Two thens.
NP: Well done, Lorraine.
KW: I heard that. I was going to say the same thing myself.
NP: So Lorraine, you got in and itĺs the last round, too, and thereĺs half a second to go. The subject is clothes, starting now.
LC: Clothes are wonderful!
NP: Well, alas we have no more time to play Just a Minute so let me give you the final score. For once, Clement Freud finished in fourth place, oh, but only just behind Kenneth Williams, and he was just behind our guest, Lorraine Chase, who ľ
NP: -- and sheĺs challenged.
LC: Said "just" twice. Well he did!
NP: Another point to Lorraine Chase, but she still hasnĺt beaten our winner, who this week is Peter Jones. So Lorraine was really getting the hang of things at the end. We hope youĺve got the hang of things now. We hope one day weĺll all have the hang of things and weĺll all be playing Just a Minute forever because we love the game, we hope youĺve enjoyed listening, and we hope... and we hope youĺll want to tune in again at the same time next week where once again we start to play Just a Minute! Until then, from all of us here, goodbye!
ANNOUNCER: The chairman of Just a Minute was Nicholas Parsons. The programme was devised by Ian Messiter and produced by David Hatch.

Vector Display Enhancements
A new option has been added to place labels at the end of a vector rather than the beginning which can be useful in preventing text overlap.
A new option has been added to place blotches at the end of a vector rather than the beginning.
Instrument Straighten
Instrument >>Straighten (align level frame Z-axis with working frame)
A new instrument straighten command has been added to help simplify alignments while holding level. This command allows you to select a level measurement frame and rotate the instrument to align it with the working frame.
Cardinal Points
Users now have the option to select which cardinal points they would like to create, and the group name to use, for both relationships and geometry fit profiles. It is also possible to place all the cardinal points in the same group.
Name Prefix
You may now prefix cardinal point names with either the name of the relationship or geometry type.
Two additional cardinal points have been added for slots. For round slots, the centerline points are two circle centers.
For square slots, the centerline points are midpoints of the opposite sides.
B-Spline Construction
Construct >> B-Splines >> Intersection >> 2 Cones
This command allows you to construct a B-spline at the intersection of two cones.
Construct >> B-Splines >> Intersection >> Cone and Cylinder
This command allows you to construct a B-spline at the intersection of a cone and a cylinder.
GD&T Enhancements
By navigating to User Options>Analysis>GD&T Options, you will find that support has been added for ISO 2012 pre-eval validation checks.
Datum Overrides
Overrides for Datum Combination Tolerances listed in the User Options>Analysis>GD&T Options dialog is now supported. This may be used when determining datum combinations (see ASME Y14.5.1M-1994 Tables 4-1 through 4-4).
Multi-Letter Datums
Support has been added for additional datum letter designations such as "AA". Default support now is concurrent with the 2009 ASME standard that supports 2 letters datums excluding "I","O","Q." By choosing a Check Pre-Eval Evaluator in the users options datum letter support will match the standard selected.
Auto Filter
The GD&T Feature Inspection Auto Filter has been enhanced to provide detection of points along the axis of holes and along the extents of the hole to support additional hole measurement techniques.
View Control
View control can now be set from the instrument right-click menu for any instrument (that returns either 3D or 6D probe updates). Panning can be configured to only occur when the probe moves within a proximity of the edge of the view. Full rotation can also be limited by angular motion and can continue while constraining roll to align with the instrument orientation.
Transform Dialog
Angular units are now supported in the Transform dialog. Users can rotate an object in degrees, radians, milliradians, gons/grads, mils, or arcsec angular units.
Relationship Enhancements
Sweep + Move
By utilizing the Sweep and Move feature, a user may choose to either copy or move relationships from the active collection to a destination collection. By selecting COPY, a duplicate set of the relationships will be built in the new collection, constructed point associations will be maintained while clearing measured points from these new relationships. By choosing MOVE, relationships will be moved into a destination collection, leaving the measured points and constructed geometry only in the original collection.
Configure Instrument
By right-clicking on a relationship in the Inspection tab (or in the treebar), a user can configure the instrument settings prior to measurement. By configuring these settings ahead of time, the measurement profile and reflector/tooling will automatically update without user interaction while iterating through the task list.

With each passing year, the music industry delivers a spectacle of sounds, happenings, and sights that bulge from the seams of both the local and international scenes. 2014 has been nothing short of surprising, with new acts, albums, sudden re-appearance of favorite artists, and even boo-boos that make music pleasingly (and sometimes awfully) entertaining this year.
To sum up the best and worst of this year, we've rounded up last year's hit makers in mock award-giving style.
Biggest Local Hurrah of the Year: Eraserheads Releases Two New Songs
Video via EsquirePh
More than a decade after calling it quits, the band that shaped the country's alternative scene released two new songs through an exclusive Esquire issue for the month of September. Titled "1995" and "Sabado," these songs made their legion of fans feeling all sorts of euphoric emotions, after the hard acceptance of the band's parting in 2002. The references of the songs' lyrics on social media sites were abundant, and "buti na lang Sabado bukas," was the favorite caption for Instagram posts for several weekends after the release.
These tracks, along with a surprise performance, displayed the band's indelible legacy to the music scene regardless of the age of the listeners.
Hottest Baby Makin' Music of the Year / Biggest Comeback: D'Angelo Releases "Black Messiah"
After 14 years of taking a break from creating oozing-ly sexy songs, soul icon D'Angelo ended 2014 with a hot and groove-luscious record filled with old school and new school soul and funk tones, making his fans more than elated that he's back in the scene. Black Messiah instantly became a favorite for the year, with several reviews citing it to be possibly 2014's best musical resurrection.
Best Packaging: Ariana Grande
Amidst diva rumors, Ariana Grande proved to be one of the biggest stars of the year and it's not only because of that high ponytail. Her Lolita-esque looks mixed with a jazzy voice gave her the attention that led to the appreciation of her as a whole.
Aside from her own songs, Grande sure knows who to work with in order to put her singing in familiar planes as possible. Case in point: Jessie J's "Bang Bang" where she also sang, and her track "Problem," featuring Iggy Azalea.
Speaking of Iggy…
Most "Pleasing-to-the-Eye Rapper": Iggy Azalea (Also: Best Booty Collab)
The curvy Australian rapper broke out in the mainstream scene with lots of critics, but it didn't stop her from broadening the genre and bringing it into a whole new market. "Fancy" was one of the biggest hits of 2014, especially with that Clueless-inspired music video.
As of December 2014, Azalea has already won 22 awards for her music, including two American Music Awards. The rapper also sang alongside the original ass-advocate, Jennifer Lopez, with the aptly titled "Booty." Sadly, some things just don't really sound as steaming hot as they look.
Breakout Female Award: FKA Twigs
Video via FKA twigs
Though generally labeled under "experimental R&B" or trip hop, the English singer's whispery, high-pitched voice mixed with a roll of musical atmospheres makes it difficult to put her in a specific genre. Nevertheless, FKA Twigs is both entrancing and talented. The 26-year-old multi-instrumentalist released a critically acclaimed album called LP1 in August and quickly became every alt girl's new favorite female act.
Breakout Male Award: Chet Faker
It was a big year for indie acts promoting their music on social media, and it paved the way for Aussie artist Chet Faker. Faker broke into the online stage with his rendition of Blackstreet's "No Diggity" in 2013, but it was in 2014 that he was able to release his first record called "Built on Glass" and it received favorable reviews from Metacritic and Pitchfork. Faker could very well be an artist that sprung out from the musical production genius of James Blake, and we're totally not complaining.
Honorable mentions:
The Foo Fighters and The Smashing Pumpkins both released records in 2014, but Beck's Morning Phase was the most well-received international rock release of the year, providing the artist's familiar emotional pull similar to what he did in his 2002 opus, Sea Change.
Other notable indie and alternative releases this year belong to Cibo Matto's Hotel Valentine, St. Vincent's self-titled record, and Thom Yorke's solo sophomore album, Tomorrow's Modern Boxes. In December, "Weird Al" Yankovic's comedy record Mandatory Fun, debuted at #1 in Billboard, the first comedy album to hit the top spot in Billboard since 1963's My Son, The Nut by Allan Sherman.
Our advice: Go pick up these gems now!
Best Collaborative Performance: Daft Punk Featuring Stevie Wonder, Pharell, Nile Rodgers at the 2014 Grammy's
On January, Daft Punk performed their hit with Pharell, "Get Lucky," along with "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger," and Chic's "Le Freak." The funky disco medley got even the most frigid Grammy audience members dancing on their feet. Stevie Wonder was also in on the mix, serving up an electronic-laced live version of his hit, "Another Day" with the French duo. Too bad Stevie couldn't see those robotic head gears that would have gotten him panning his head harder, better, faster, and stronger (ba-dum-tss).
Best Tribute Performance: Nirvana Gets Female Vocalists for Semi-Reunion Performance
April's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction in Brooklyn officially made room for grunge legend Nirvana into its halls. Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic recruited Joan Jett and contemporary wonders St. Vincent and Lorde during the induction performance to sing Kurt Cobain's lyrics. If that wasn't cool enough, a report says that the living members of the band were once again joined by Lorde in performing "All Apologies" in a hole-in-the-wall bar in Brooklyn after the ceremony (Whoa!).
Best Female Performance: Beyoncé's MTV VMA's Medley
Those who worship Beyoncé consider this 14-song August performance as the moment that lifted their fandom and devotion into galactic heights. The singer showered her fans with all sorts of emotions, pitch-perfect notes, accurately-timed choreography, and a plump, fishnet-covered booty that jiggled the night away. Queen Bey isn't the most searched person of 2014 for nothing.
Most Memorable Locally-Held Concerts
2014 saw the arrival of several heavy-hitting international acts to our shores, giving our country the reputation as a live music destination in Southeast Asia. On January, French indie legends Phoenix performed for a packed audience at the World Trade Center. Highly-favored indie acts such as The National, Warpaint, and Mogwai, graced local fans on February.
One of the most memorable performances was laid out by the Red Hot Chili Peppers in Clark for the 7107 music festival last February, and it was topped off by Kendrick Lamar's bass-thumping set in the same event. This year's Malasimbo Music and Arts Festival in March in Puerto Galera festival saw the arrival and musical decadence of Robert Glasper, Jose Gonzales, and Omar, and it paved way for local artists and musicians to exhibit their homegrown talents.
The Lemonheads also gave a stellar performance on December, presenting a nostalgic tinge to local fans while Swedish electro-synth act, Chvrches, brought in aural flavors for the new generation. As for the best local gig? We'd give it to Teeth's reunion concert in May, which gathered local grunge heads to hear the live version of their penultimate hit, "Prinsesa," one more time.

Seville Quarter Pensacola FL
Seville Quarter has been around so long, ghosts of late nights past are said to haunt its halls.
People have been coming here for live music and libations for years, and I would know. (My parents met here in the 70s when Dear Old Dad showed up in a silk shirt and bell bottoms and Mom just knew he was the one.)
Bartender Tash says, "Oh yeah … there's a ghost in this place. Sometimes, when I'm closing, the jukebox will start acting funny. The music turns up and then down."
Administrative assistant Nancy seconds the notion, telling us, "There are lots of times when closing that managers turn off all the lights in a room, and they come back on. Ghost hunters have come and gone, and they always find a story."
One theory is that Wesley, an old employee, is just messing with those who are still around. When the copy machine runs on its own or the music starts blaring, Nancy just shouts, "Stop it, Wesley!" And he does.
Fast Eddie's – the billiards room – is full of Pensacola sporting history, from the photos on the walls to the hanging golf bags. It's the best place to play pool in town.
Rosie O'Grady's is the bar that started it all, with great drinks and cool jazz. Flaming Hurricane Rum Punch was created here, and it's just as good as it was back in the day. (Because they set it on fire.)
All that jazz has paved the way for Dueling Pianos, held Wednesday to Sunday. Playing songs you'll love to sing along to, it's the perfect entertainment to start your night out.
Check out all the rooms. Each bar has a unique character and personality, as well as musical flair. On a weekend, you can hop from Dueling Pianos to the live band playing outside at End of the Alley courtyard to the DJ spinning hip-hop in Phineas Phogg's. (Great dance floor for the young or young at heart.)
And it's not just nightlife. Seville serves lunch and dinner daily, from pizza and burgers to fried chicken and oysters to steaks. There are kid's menus – and dinner specials like Shrimp Scampi, Parmesan Crusted Grouper and Lobster Ravioli. Sunday Brunch is popular for beignets and Bloody Marys.
There's a sports menu if you're in town for football season. It's the bartenders' favorite time of year because so many people come out to catch the games. Stick around for a late night menu, when you've had a few too many.
Weekly Specials include:
- Monday Night Bar Bingo
- Tuesday Blues Night
- Wednesday Jazz Night and Quarter Beers at Rosie's (7 to 9 p.m.)
- Thursday College Nights
- DJ Thursday, Friday & Saturday at Phineas Phogg's
Seville Quarter is located at 130 East Government Street in Historic Downtown Pensacola FL. For more information please call (850) 434-6211 or visit the Seville Quarter website.

Public Citizen, D.C. SUN Urge Court to Block Exelon Takeover of Pepco
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Public Citizen and D.C. Solar United Neighborhoods (DC SUN) today are filing a court challenge to the D.C. Public Service Commission's (PSC) decision to approve Exelon's takeover of Pepco. The groups believe the merger is not in the public interest, and the petition being filed today is the first step in asking the D.C. Court of Appeals, the district's highest court, to block the merger.
The $7 billion merger will lead to higher electricity rates and stymie the District's efforts to shift to renewable energy, the groups maintain. The PSC on June 17 rejected requests by Public Citizen and other groups to reconsider its decision to allow the merger. Since then, Pepco has asked for an $85.5 million rate increase.

The other thing people seem to forget is that we were one of the most powerful forces in shaping them (the EU) until Nige and his swivel eyed loons somehow persuaded the naive and gullible that he was the 'man of the people'.
I'm not a great fan of the EU but we were in a position to change what wasn't good for the UK.
Nige, Boris and Co have done OK out of this, but it's totally f***ed the rest of us

But, by definition, it means that a single state-owned operator like BR wouldn't be allowed. It's one of the reasons why Corbyn and all left wing parties are so opposed to the EUBrevis esse laboro, obscurus fio08-07-2018, 17:42 #51958
Since Germany are the most powerful force in there, I think it is highly unlikely that they would make their own 100% state owned railways illegal. I think there may be more than one interpretation of these changes.
If Germany could favour their state owned company, we could do exactly the same.
Maybe I've answered my own question and it's the state subsidies on cross border operations that the EU are trying to stop.

Hey, Folks!
I just finished reading "Rules of Murder," by Julianna Deering, which is a pen name for author DeAnna Julie Dodson. This is the first novel in what promises to be an intriguing new series. Drew, who loves all things mysterious, is quite overwhelmed by the real life murders occurring on the grounds of his posh estate. He came home unexpectedly, and now the party guests he encountered are being killed off in rapid succession. When he uncovers a connection between the homicides and underhanded financial affairs at his stepfather's firm, the reluctant amateur detective concludes his only option is to unmask the culprit himself before someone else he holds dear becomes a victim, much to the discomfort of the local police.
With his best friend Nick and the stunning Madeline offering assistance, he sets out to find answers, not only about the case, but also about himself. He finds the faith of his new girlfriend to be yet another puzzle. Can he learn to trust God the way she does? Will he be able to put together the clues before he becomes a target?
This story kept me enthralled until the very last word. Fans of classic tales of crime will not be disappointed. This yarn was advertised as "Downton Abbey meets Agatha Christie," and it certainly fulfills that claim. My rating is five out of five stars. There is no objectionable content, so it is suitable for sharing with everyone, but will most likely be embraced by people twelve and older. This is the first time I have read anything by this woman, but I am eagerly awaiting the next adventure. Until we meet again…
Happy Reading,
Rules of Murder

Poured Concrete Foundation Problems – Fixing Seepage Problems
Foundations made of poured concrete are the most common ones found in residential construction in the United States.
Concrete has become the material of choice for foundations because it is relatively low cost, strong and durable. Although pouring a foundation is a skill that requires knowledge and experience, it is not as labor-intensive as masonry and doesn't have to be done by masons.
The only limitation to the use of poured concrete for foundations is proximity to a concrete plant because premixed concrete can only be kept in a liquid state for so long before use. Areas without access to concrete manufacturing still rely on masonry for residential foundations.
To understand how concrete foundations undergo damage, it helps to know how they are constructed.
The first step in building a concrete foundation is to dig a hole. An excavation contractor scoops a giant bowl out of the earth at the building site that is the depth of the foundation and approximately ten feet wider all around.
The foundation contractor then sets forms around the perimeter of the foundation-to-be and pours the footings — wide, shallow slabs that define the foundation's shape and size. These footings sit on the undisturbed soil left in place by the excavator and serve as a both a stable platform for the foundation walls and a way to spread the weight of the foundation (and the house) across a wider surface.
Once the footings have cured, the contractor sets forms for the foundation walls with appropriate blocking for doors, windows, beams and other openings. These forms are filled with concrete, which is agitated by heavy-duty vibrating cables during the pour to ensure that any voids or air pockets are filled. The concrete is leveled at the top and hardware is embedded to secure the first level of aboveground construction.
When the concrete walls have cured, the forms are stripped and the soil around the outside of the foundation is backfilled. Construction on the home can then begin.
Even with the strength and durability of poured concrete and the pains taken during its construction, a poured concrete foundation is still vulnerable to damage, which may result in water seeping into the basement.
We have written extensively in an earlier article about the types of seepage problems and how they occur, so here's a quick summary:
Poured concrete walls can seep water through non-structural cracks in the wall, through the cove joint between floor and wall, over the top of the foundation wall or through patches of porous concrete.
Pressure from the exterior is the culprit in most of these instances of damage because oversaturated soil outside the foundation can cause non-structural cracks that lead to seepage and cause water to enter through the cove joint.
Conversely, the withdrawal of moisture from soil below the foundation, such as during times of drought when trees and shrubs extend root systems in search of water, can cause supporting soil to collapse and the foundation to drop, sink or settle. This will cause seepage problems at the least and may also result in more serious structural damage.
Seepage through or over the wall can be caused by dry spots in the concrete wall that occurred during construction or by improper grading or poorly planned outdoor construction that allows water to seep in over the top of the foundation wall.
So, when these problems occur, what's the best way to repair them?
Fixing Seepage Problems in Poured Concrete Foundations
Crack Repair – The most common source of seepage in a poured concrete foundation is a non-structural crack in a basement wall. These cracks can appear anywhere in a wall although they often emanate from an opening such as a window, door or utility penetration. They are characterized by their narrow width (less than 1/8") and the fact that they do not appear in any sort of pattern.
Although it is possible for a single crack to occur, quite often offsetting pressures will create others that may have to be sought out.
Seeping cracks in poured concrete walls can be fixed either on the inside or the outside, with the interior injecion method generally preferred.
To fix a crack on the interior a basement waterproofing professional first cleans the crack of loose aggregate and other debris. He then places tubular plastic injection ports at intervals along the length of the crack and covers them and the crack with a sealer coat of epoxy to hold the ports in place and create a confined space.
He next injects the crack, starting with the uppermost port and working downward, with expanding polyurethane. This material expands to fill the crack completely and even extrude through to the outside, creating a permanent seal that remains flexible to prevent re-opening of the crack from minor foundation movement.
The epoxy and injection ports can be left in place or removed later by the homeowner.
Fixing a crack on the exterior starts with digging a small-diameter hole down to the footings at the site of the crack. The installer fills the hole with granular sodium bentonite clay, which absorbs water from the soil to form a flexible barrier against water on the outside of the wall. When the top of the excavation is backfilled, the repair is invisible.
Fixing Cove Seepage – When the foundation walls are poured on top of the footings, a very small gap exists between the two because wet concrete does not bond to cured concrete. When hydrostatic pressure exists under the foundation, water can be forced through this joint and then through an equally small gap between the wall and the basement floor, creating what is known as cove seepage.
The best permanent way to fix cove seepage is to install interior drain tile, which alleviates the hydrostatic pressure and carries ground water off to a sump pump.
To install interior drain tile, the technician first removes a foot-wide strip of the basement floor around the perimeter and digs out a trench in the soil below down to the base of the footings. A base of washed gravel is then poured in and leveled.
Despite the "tile" in its name, interior drain tile is actually corrugated plastic pipe with a series of perforations that admit water. This pipe is flexible and can be installed in long, continuous lengths and curved smoothly around corners when it is laid on top of the gravel bed. Typically, this pipe is encased in a "sock" of filtration fabric. Both ends are connected to the sump basin.
When the pipe is in, more washed gravel is added on top and leveled and then the concrete floor is replaced. The drain tile requires no maintenance and should function without interruption.
Repairing Wall Seepage— When water enters the basement through or over the wall, the homeowner has the option of either managing it or stopping it.
To manage wall seepage, interior drain tile is again required and is installed the same way up to the very last step. When replacing the concrete floor, the installer leaves a small gap between the edge of the floor and the wall, allowing access to the drain tile. This gap is covered by a plastic cove molding that keeps out debris and allows water to flow.
The homeowner may also choose to install a vapor barrier on the wall to cover the seepage and reduce dampness and humidity.
A permanent fix to wall seepage is done by installing an exterior waterproofing membrane. To do so, the affected wall must be excavated down to the footings, leaving a trench wide enough for the installer to work. Usually, this digging is done by hand but can be done with machinery when conditions permit.
The installer first cleans the foundation wall of dirt, loose concrete and other debris. Then, a thick coating of asphalt-modified polyurethane is applied to the wall with a trowel to ensure complete coverage. This material cures to form an impermeable membrane that holds up to underground pressures and exposure to soil.
Once cured, the membrane may be covered with heavy-duty plastic drainage board that will help protect the membrane and channel water downward. In situations with very high ground water, exterior drain tile may be added to ensure a dry basement. Exterior drain tile is very similar in function to the interior variety except that perforated PVC pipe is used instead of flexible corrugated to better withstand exterior soil movement and pressure. The drain tile is still routed to a sump pump to discharge water away from the house.
Insulating material may also be applied over the membrane to help keep the basement warmer in cold climates. The excavation is backfilled and the installation is complete.
Regardless of the source of water and the recommended method of repair, a homeowner who needs to fix a seepage problem will require the advice and assistance of a professional basement waterproofing contractor. At U.S. Waterproofing, our basement waterproofing experts have injected miles of cracks, applied acres of exterior waterproofing membranes and installed enough drain tile, both interior and exterior, to reach across several states. Why not ask for our free advice?

The Man Who Mistook His Life for a Game
April 21, 2010 1 Comment
When your mother told you that life was neither a fairy tale nor a game, she was certainly right about the former and probably wrong about the latter. In fact, there've been a few notable thinkers since the mid-1800s who claimed that life was nothing but a game. The notion that people are Pokémon on the great board game of Life first vaulted into the halls of science and took hold of public imagination with the publication of On the Origin of Species in 1859, followed only one year later by the release of The Checkered Game of Life, courtesy of the fine and inventive people at Milton Bradley. Since then some games have indeed become more serious than life itself (sorry, I'm not talking about Dancing with the Stars); and with the advent of game theory (a formalized, mathematical treatment, if you will, of social science) countless advances have been made in manifold fields such of evolutionary biology, political science, international relations, and of course computer science. You'll really like game theory if you made it through Theoretical Econ 101, you can still stomach your applied math, or you've had the hots for Russell Crowe in A Beautiful Mind. For that matter, game theory will come in very handy should you ever find yourself incarcerated with a fellow inmate named Johnny von Neumann, and you're wondering whether to betray that strange man to the warden or to only say as much as the acteurs in The Blair Witch Project.
The Prisoner's Dilemma (a formal study, again, of why two people might not cooperate even if it's in both their best interest) and, conversely, other counterintuitive behavioral models that attempt to explain for instance why people might collaborate (to contribute, say, intellectual "property" into the intellectual commons) even if it's not in their best interests, have become intellectual staple diet for Social Web connoisseurs. Our company Talent Trust (http://www.talenttrust.com/) does a lot of work for Fortune 1000 companies that wish to implement effective "Web 2.0 strategies." I put that term in parentheses for no one really knows what it means, except for Tim O'Reilly (who invented it) or Carl Jung (who would have described it as the act of individuation through socialization by means of solidarity networks, but Carl unfortunately is long dead).
Most our enterprise clients wish to harness the web's social-media sphere as a way to expand their business (be it to grow their brand, widen their customer reach, or deepen their relationships with business stakeholders). If you think you can do that by just sticking a "Share it on Facebook" or "Digg it" button up on your corporate site you belong in a fossil collection, a Barock shrine, or a Tibetan monastery. It's ironic for me to say so (for our company provides the technical talent behind many a successful Web 2.0 implementation), but Web 2.0 has a lot less to do with technology than with psychology (no, not psychiatry, and apologies, Oliver Sacks). If you want to make your brand attractive to millions and millions of people who live the Social Web, if you want to connect with them, to garner their attention, and to take them on a journey towards your product or your service offering, you must start to play the game. For starters, throw out your Ajax For Dummies (or say "asynchronous JavaScript and XML" three times in a row), and pack your Nash equilibrium, The Collected Works of C. G. Jung, and your favorite body piercing jewelry and head over to our friends at social gaming powerhouse Zynga (http://www.zynga.com/). They've just changed their company slogan from "More Fun Than Robert Downey, Jr." to "Connecting the World Through Games." There you go. I promise you: play one of their fabulous games and you'll get what Web 2.0 is all about.
Don't worry – you don't even have to like "computer games." Try out Zynga's Mafia Wars, and yes, you'll just either love it or hate it (there's no in-between, just like with anchovies, the London Tube, or Michelle "Bombshell" McGee). You might not even stand for the glorification of violence, vindicta, and organized crime, although the theme of the game is of less interest to us here, and it might as well be about finding seashells on a beach or blue helmets in a Sri Lankan refugee camp. What's impressive is that Zynga has just nailed the psychological underpinning of the individual as an integral part of a social network. There's an amazingly effective reward system. There's compensation for everything. Behavioral modification and forced decision-making against the ever-present timer. There are rituals and archetypes. There's always the "mob" (the collective unconscious) and the Complex (do I have enough friends / Mafia members, enough stamina / energy to kill, enough money / reward points, etc.?). The process of individuation is particularly powerful, where players become literally more "whole" by virtue of strengthening their profiles, attaining special powers, and recruiting more players. And yes, there is also the fetish which can be cared for or cured, as the case may be, by – in any event – buying lots and lots of little items from Zynga.
And the lesson here? Needless to say, without state-of-the-art web technology, none of this would be possible. But technology is just the enabler. Psychology – as in the psychological substrate of a successful social game such as Mafia Wars – is the driver behind any viable Web 2.0 strategy. The overlap between social gaming behavior and social media marketing is just striking. Imagine: getting your customers to self-select a particular affinity group, to connect with like-minded individuals, and to recruit them in significant numbers to make for geometric growth; or, for your customers to enhance their profiles (invaluable marketing data) for the purpose of sheer self-expression, validation in front of their peers, or to earn reward or "reputation" points. If you want to connect with millions of customers, forget about your social media icons (we'll stick 'em up for you later) and focus on what drives the individual in the social setting. Learn from the leader in the social gaming arena and play some more of Zynga's Mafia Wars or contact me (email@example.com) if we at Talent Trust can help bring some cutting-edge expertise to your Web 2.0 marketing initiative.

Whatever we say about performance artist and photographer, born in Germany, Frank Uwe Laysiepen – Ulay, it will all be insufficient. Beyond what is seen and known, there is so much more in him that cannot be expressed with words! The artist's interests surpass the self and embrace socially significant topics like alienation and tolerance between people, ecology and the future of our planet. The media that Ulay uses from performance to Polaroid images and self-portraits all involve, provoke and pose questions. The discussion with the artist is a verbal performance of its own, between two strangers who find something form themselves in the other with every question and answer.
Ulay shares that in the last interviews he has been giving, he is most frequently asked about his relationship and work with his long-term partner Marina Abramović. And even more frequently so – about the meeting between the two of them at the MoMA in New York in 2010, where Abramović is giving a performance and at some moment she sees in front of herself her former partner. A scene that has been seen millions of times on YouTube. I decide we skip these questions and I don't ask him about Marina Abramović. Not even a word. After all, his personality is interesting enough and we are going to pay its due time and words. Especially now, surrounding the artist's first exhibition in Bulgaria – Ulay: I Other at Vivacom Art Hall in Sofia.
Who is I and who is Other?
I borrowed the title of the exhibition from French poet Arthur Rimbaud and his quote "Je est un autre" ("I is another"), which I found exceptionally interesting. And obviously my ambition as an artist was 1) to depict not only myself, 2) follow not only aesthetical criteria, and 3) to represent the Other as far as the individual is concerned (mainly people with minority problems – homeless people, for instance, or Aboriginal Australians). So Ulay: I Other shows that no one is alone in this world. We live on this planet with many others and if we realise that the others exist together with us, there is no way for us to remain isolated.
When and where do I and Other meet?
Now and forever. Regardless of the fact whether you are in the toilette, or you are lying in your bed, the others continue to exist. Only when you are deeply asleep or you close the door, do you manage to switch them off for a moment. But they continue to exist.
We also carry in ourselves a lot of Others…
Yes, different personalities or characters, but this is not reflected in my exhibition. Although there is an aphorism… some time ago I wrote a poem on my skin, with which I wanted to show that there lives a second or a third self in every one of us. This is a psychological, but also a social story, because we all wear social masks in order not to go out of the social frame too much.
When do you most frequently turn to yourself?
All the time. I am a man who listens to his inner voice. In my younger years I tried transvestism, I was in transvestite circles and this for me was a test, an attempt to understand myself as a woman. I found out that there is a strong anima in me – the female spirituality. For nearly half a year I was a part of these circles and that was extremely interesting, after which I again turned back to the male in me, but with much more understanding of the role of the woman.
Probably every man should do this…
(laughing) Yes, this would be interesting. My wife Lena wears a T-shirt that says "Everybody is a feminist".
Probably the future is feminine?
I hope so. Nature is feminine. And the only thing that is absolutely sure is the so-called system capacity.
Do you continue to present yourself as Water (after the artist's environmental project Earth Water)?
Yes, but less often. I froze for a while the Earth Water project and catalogue, because I was very ill, I was fighting cancer for two years (and thank God I managed to defeat it), and the whole story with the water was put to sleep. For a few months now I have reactivated the project and it has been open not only to artists, but also to everyone who is engaged with this topic.
The artist is by definition a searching man. How have you changed over the years?
I have already turned 73 and I have been leading a truly remarkable life. But with years I have started seeing things in a different way, I have distanced myself and become more sensitive.
Would you ever repeat any of your performances?
No, I do not repeat my performances. For the last 12 years I haven't done a single performance. Every time they ask me if I do any performances, I answer no and say that I am not old enough for this. This means that I don't want to do these spectacular and frustrating performances, I want to become old enough to show impossibility of doing a performance.
How does the future of performances look in the context of social media?
You know what, I call Facebook Fuck Face and those selfies… I call them fuck-your-selfie. I have nothing to do with social media. It is called social, but in fact it is antisocial. The only thing they do is give you the feeling that you belong to a community. But to me this is not serious. It will never have any effect on my performances unless I do a performance at some point about people taking pictures with their mobile phones. To me, social media is perfectly unsociable.
Yes, but people are living much more actively in it…
This is their own business. And if they cannot see that this is gross, then they cannot realise the graveness of the matter.
What provokes you today as an artist?
What provokes me to create today is discussions. With different people. With journalists like yourself. With my wife, with the curators of my exhibition. I find interviews the most exciting, because they constantly turn me to myself.

Bhubaneswar: Ending all speculations about his health, Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik today said he is completely fine.
Earlier, since last week a website had reported that the CM will be travelling to US for a probable surgery under Gastroenterology since he is severely unwell with a critical liver cirrhosis.
However, when a journalist directly asked the CM today at the Secretariat about his health for which it is said he will be going to US for four months, the otherwise grave Naveen smiled and replied in Hindi, 'Bilkul sach nahi hai..Meri tabiyat bilkul theek thaak hai,' putting an end to the rumours about his health condition.

Energy efficiency can reduce both indoor and outdoor concentrations of air pollutants. By doing so, energy efficiency drives a range of economic, environmental and health benefits associated with local air quality.
The energy system contributes vitally to economic and social progress around the world, but the associated emissions and negative side effects are costly. Air pollution is one of the world's single biggest environmental risks to human health, with one in nine deaths linked to poor indoor or outdoor air quality. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 92% of the world's population lives in locations where local air pollution exceeds WHO limits.
Transport was responsible for 28% of total final consumption of energy globally in 2016, and more than 90% of transport energy use depends on oil products (Energy Efficiency 2017). Since the majority of transport emissions are discharged at street level often within densely populated cities, improvements in transport efficiency can, therefore, have a significant impact on air pollution and on human health. In 2016, mandatory vehicle fuel efficiency standards covered nearly 30% of all energy use within transport. In 2015, the total energy savings from these standards was 2.4 million barrels of oil per day, however, there is still significant room for improvement (Energy Efficiency 2017).
In China, air pollution has been a particularly serious issue, due to the rapid increase in the number of motor vehicles and the large share of coal-based electricity generation. More than two million premature deaths annually are attributed to outdoor and indoor air pollution in China. For the average Chinese citizen, air pollution shortens life expectancy by approximately 2 years. In France, air pollution costs the country nearly USD 110 billion per year according to a 2015 French Senate inquiry, with transport, heating, and agriculture being the largest contributing factors. The French public health agency estimates that 48 000 deaths per year in France are due to fine particle pollution, mainly from vehicle exhausts (Pascal et al., 2016).
Energy efficiency has played a huge role in China's improvements in energy intensity, leading to savings of 11% of total primary energy supply between 2000 and 2014, and an avoided 1.2 gigatonnes of CO2 emissions in 2014. These gains in efficiency, and subsequent reductions in air pollution from energy generation and transport, have been made through mandatory energy savings programmes in industry, a building retrofit, and heat-metering reform programme, and the use of standards for personal vehicles (Energy Efficiency 2016).
Introducing or increasing mandatory vehicle efficiency standards is an effective way to reduce pollution within cities. Despite representing 43% of total oil consumption for road transport, only four countries currently regulate the energy efficiency of heavy-duty vehicles (Energy Efficiency 2017) The US Clean Air Act from 1970 continues to deliver reductions in air pollution through stringent vehicle emission standards and for every USD 1 spent on reducing emissions, the return on investment is calculated to be USD 9 in benefits to public health, environmental improvements, productivity and consumer savings (US EPA).
There has been a rapid uptake of electric vehicles, with 2 million vehicles worldwide in 2016, which may further accelerate with recent policy announcements to phase out the sale of gasoline or diesel vehicles, however, at present these vehicles represent just 0.2% of the light duty vehicles currently on the road worldwide (Energy Efficiency 2017). The replacement of conventional vehicles with electric ones can reduce local urban air pollution and electric two-wheelers and vehicles are more efficient than their conventional counterparts, however, the source of electricity must be taken into account in an overall assessment of the impact on air pollution.
Mandatory building standards and retrofits that reduce the energy consumption within buildings can greatly improve the efficiency of heating and cooling systems within a home, commercial or public building. It is important for energy efficiency retrofits that reduce heat loss through increasing the air-tightness of a building to address the need for properly designed and adequate ventilation to protect the health of building occupant (Hamilton et al., 2015).
Scaling up the use of energy efficient appliances and lighting reduces the demand for electricity generation, and therefore reduces air pollution. Reducing the cost of operating cooking, lighting and heating appliances and equipment within the home can help facilitate the switch from less efficient, high polluting fuels, such as biomass or kerosene, still used by 2.7 billion people around the world for cooking and/or lighting, and greatly reduce both indoor and outdoor air pollution.

It can be deeply upsetting when things that I am expecting to go smoothly do not go to plan.
I am surrounded with competent colleagues and work with capable clients; so when setbacks occur, particularly ones which I feel I should have anticipated and avoided, my reactions range from mild irritation, through disappointment and annoyance, to exasperated self-criticism. It is most galling when the setbacks are serious and arise from the most avoidable errors.

We have episodes in life. Each one brings its joys or challenges, its strains and stresses.
Occasionally an episode we recognise as coming from our pasts returns and brings nothing. Or at least what appears to us in that moment as being insignificant. We experience it. Then it just passes by - as if in orbit around us. It is soon gone - perhaps to return another day.
Sometimes, though, old and new episodes meet and collide. Violently, with one unprotected occurrence barging into another that we had hoped to keep separate. It is a snippet of the past smashing...

The demon today is procrastination
Today has been a difficult day. It hasn't been easy to get going. My energy is low and I am feeling rather delicate and lacking in direction. It feels like it wouldn't take much to make me abandon today's tasks. The third cup of tea in less than an hour is telling. Procrastination is today's demon. I can feel him stalking me.
Like Steven Pressfield trying to "Do the Work", I find now that the enemy uses a devious method to distract me: 'resistance'. I know that if I "… give [resistance]...

I am privileged to be doing the work I do - engaging and working with the clients and colleagues I have. It would be a great shame to wake up and find that this is just a dream. Being an inquiring person I check by pinching myself regularly! That said, I am also challenged by what appears to me as clutter in my professional and personal life: redundant and unhelpful "stuff" that I do not value or use but appear unable to give back or discard.
Consequently in between the joy and the gratitude for the work and life I am belssed with, there...

Understanding, listening and learning
As leader (of any kind) the best preparation you can have for the challenges you face lies in a) your continual attention to deepening your understanding of yourself and b) your awareness of and ability to listen and learn from the "other(s)" that surround you.
This insight has been the repeated conclusion garnered from many interactions with the leaders we coach and consult with every day.
Put simply: Given the diverse and unpredictable nature of the challenges and opportunities that you face as a leader every...

The Leadership Shadow:
Becoming a leader and taking up leadership inevitably involves a 'rift' between the leader and team, between the leader's way and other peoples' ways of moving forward, and between the leader's own leadership persona and his or her shadow.
As leaders step forward and take initiative they step into the limelight, shining their own light and guiding the organisation. In doing so they cannot help but split off and obscure other less appealing areas of themselves and what they are doing. These aspects become...

"Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler."

In my work, past and present, I have been repeatedly reminded that personal energy and commitment to overcome aside, we still face (globally and locally) major commercial, economic, environmental and social developmental challenges today.
We also find ourselves in quite uncharted waters; needing to simultaneously address multiple issues of growing complexity and intertwining intricacy.
