Hush, my babe Sheet Music
Edvard Hagerup Grieg (15 June 1843 – 4 September 1907) was a Norwegian composer and pianist who composed in the Romantic period. He is best known for his Piano Concerto in A minor, for his incidental music to Henrik Ibsen's play Peer Gynt (which includes Morning Mood and In the Hall of the Mountain King), and for his collection of piano miniatures Lyric Pieces. "Edvard" is sometimes mispelt as "Edward".
Grieg is renowned as a nationalist composer, drawing inspiration from Norwegian folk music. Early works include a symphony (which he later suppressed) and a piano sonata. He also wrote three sonatas for violin and piano and a cello sonata. His many short pieces for piano — often based on Norwegian folk tunes and dances — led some to call him the "Chopin of the North".

The Piano Concerto is his most popular work. Its champions have included the pianist and composer Percy Grainger, a personal friend of Grieg who played the concerto frequently during his long career. An arrangement of part of the work made an iconic television comedy appearance in the 1971 Morecambe and Wise Show, conducted by André Previn.
Some of the Lyric Pieces (for piano) are also well-known, as is the incidental music to Henrik Ibsen's play Peer Gynt, a play that Grieg found to be an arduous work to score properly. In a 1874 letter to his friend Frants Beyer, Grieg expressed his unhappiness with what is now considered one of his most popular compositions from Peer Gynt, In the Hall of the Mountain King: "I have also written something for the scene in the hall of the mountain King - something that I literally can't bear listening to because it absolutely reeks of cow-pies, exaggerated Norwegian nationalism, and trollish self-satisfaction! But I have a hunch that the irony will be discernible."

Liana Alexandra (born Liana Moraru; 27 May 1947 – 10 January 2011) was a Romanian composer, pianist and music educatorAlexandra was born in Bucharest, Romania. From 1965 to 1971, she studied at the Ciprian Porumbescu Conservatory (now the National University of Music Bucharest) under Tudor Ciortea and Tiberiu Olah and took composition courses in 1974, 1978, 1980 and 1984 in Darmstadt, Germany.

A prolific composer in the neoromantic style, Alexandra had over 100 of her works performed and published in Romania. According to musicologist Octavian Cosma, she was "in her element with orchestral and chamber music, employing repetitive and evolving techniques, with melodic lines which suggest lyricism and meditation" and an instrumentation that used "a palette of delicate, pastel colours." Alexandra married the Romanian cellist and composer Şerban Nichifor in 1978. They performed together as Duo Intermedia from 1990 and were co-directors of the Nuova Musica Consonante - Living Music Foundation Festival.

Pink Floyd are an English rock band from Cambridge. The band initially earned recognition for their psychedelic and space rock music, and, as they evolved, for their progressive rock music. Pink Floyd are known for philosophical lyrics, sonic experimentation, innovative album cover art, and elaborate live shows. One of rock music's most successful acts, the group have sold over 200 million albums worldwide including 74.5 million albums in the United States alone. Pink Floyd have influenced progressive rock artists of the 1970s such as Genesis and Yes; and contemporary artists such as Nine Inch Nails and Dream Theater.
Pink Floyd had moderate mainstream success and were one of the most popular bands in the London underground music scene in the late 1960s as a psychedelic band led by Syd Barrett. However, Barrett's erratic behaviour eventually forced his colleagues to replace him with guitarist and singer David Gilmour. After Barrett's departure, singer and bass player Roger Waters gradually became the dominant and driving force in the group by the late-1970s, until his eventual departure from the group in 1985. The band recorded several albums, achieving worldwide success with The Dark Side of the Moon (1973), Wish You Were Here (1975), Animals (1977), and The Wall (1979).
In 1985, Waters declared Pink Floyd "a spent force", but the remaining members, led by Gilmour, continued recording and touring under the name Pink Floyd. Waters sued them for the name and eventually they reached a settlement out of court, under which Gilmour, Mason and Wright would continue as Pink Floyd. They again enjoyed worldwide success with A Momentary Lapse of Reason (1987) and The Division Bell (1994). Waters performed with the band for the first time in 24 years on 2 July 2005 at the London Live 8 concert.

The Beatles were a pop and rock group from Liverpool, England formed in 1960. Primarily consisting of John Lennon (rhythm guitar, vocals), Paul McCartney (bass guitar, vocals), George Harrison (lead guitar, vocals) and Ringo Starr (drums, vocals) throughout their career, The Beatles are recognised for leading the mid-1960s musical "British Invasion" into the United States. Although their initial musical style was rooted in 1950s rock and roll and homegrown skiffle, the group explored genres ranging from Tin Pan Alley to psychedelic rock. Their clothes, styles, and statements made them trend-setters, while their growing social awareness saw their influence extend into the social and cultural revolutions of the 1960s. After the band broke up in 1970, all four members embarked upon solo careers.
The Beatles are one of the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed bands in the history of popular music, selling over a billion records internationally. In the United Kingdom, The Beatles released more than 40 different singles, albums, and EPs that reached number one, earning more number one albums (15) than any other group in UK chart history. This commercial success was repeated in many other countries; their record company, EMI, estimated that by 1985 they had sold over one billion records worldwide. According to the Recording Industry Association of America, The Beatles have sold more albums in the United States than any other band. In 2004, Rolling Stone magazine ranked The Beatles number one on its list of 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.

Dream Theater is an American progressive metal band formed in 1985 under the name Majesty by John Petrucci, John Myung, and Mike Portnoy while they attended Berklee College of Music in Massachusetts, before they dropped out to support the band. Though a number of lineup changes followed, the three original members remain today along with James LaBrie and Jordan Rudess.
Dream Theater has become a successful progressive metal band. Although the band has had one successful hit ("Pull Me Under" in 1992, which received extensive MTV rotation), they have remained relatively out of the mainstream.
The band is well known for the technical proficiency of its instrumentalists, who have won many awards from music instruction magazines. Dream Theater's members have collaborated with many other notable musicians. Guitarist John Petrucci has been named as the third player on the G3 tour six times, more than any other invited guitarist, following in the footsteps of Eric Johnson and Robert Fripp. Drummer Mike Portnoy has won 23 awards from Modern Drummer Magazine and is also the second youngest person (at the age of 37) to be inducted into the Rock Drummer Hall of Fame.
The band's highest selling album is the gold selling Images and Words (1992), which reached #61 on the Billboard 200 charts. Both the 1994 release Awake and their 2002 release Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence also entered the charts at #32 and #46 respectively and received mostly positive reviews. Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence also led to Dream Theater becoming the initial band reviewed in the Music Section of Entertainment Weekly during its opening week of release, despite the magazine generally preferring more mainstream music. In 2007, Systematic Chaos entered US Billboard 200 at #19. Dream Theater has sold over two million albums in the U.S., and over 8 million records worldwide. The band's tenth studio album, Black Clouds & Silver Linings, was released on June 23, 2009. It entered the US Billboard 200 at #6 and Eurochart Hot 100 at #1, marking their highest entry on either chart. Currently the musician and writer Jose Aranda is writing a doctoral thesis book about Dream Theater and the meaning of music.

Johann Sebastian Bach (31 March 1685 – 28 July 1750) was a German composer and organist whose sacred and secular works for choir, orchestra, and solo instruments drew together the strands of the Baroque period and brought it to its ultimate maturity. Although he introduced no new forms, he enriched the prevailing German style with a robust contrapuntal technique, an unrivalled control of harmonic and motivic organisation in composition for diverse musical forces, and the adaptation of rhythms and textures from abroad, particularly Italy and France.
Revered for their intellectual depth and technical and artistic beauty, Bach's works include the Brandenburg concertos; the Goldberg Variations; the English Suites, French Suites, Partitas, and Well-Tempered Clavier; the Mass in B Minor; the St. Matthew Passion; the St. John Passion; The Musical Offering; The Art of Fugue; the Sonatas and Partitas for violin solo; the Cello Suites; more than 200 surviving cantatas; and a similar number of organ works, including the celebrated Toccata and Fugue in D Minor.
While Bach's fame as an organist was great during his lifetime, he was not particularly well-known as a composer. His adherence to Baroque forms and contrapuntal style was considered "old-fashioned" by his contemporaries, especially late in his career when the musical fashion tended towards Rococo and later Classical styles. A revival of interest and performances of his music began early in the 19th century, and he is now widely considered to be one of the greatest composers in the Western tradition.
Aria Sheet Music
Frédéric Chopin (1 March 1810 – 17 October 1849) was a Polish composer and virtuoso pianist of the Romantic period. He is widely regarded as the greatest Polish composer, and ranks as one of music's greatest tone poets.
He was born in the village of Żelazowa Wola, in the Duchy of Warsaw, to a Polish mother and French-expatriate father, and in his early life was regarded as a child-prodigy pianist. In November 1830, at the age of 20, Chopin went abroad; following the suppression of the Polish November Uprising of 1830–31, he became one of many expatriates of the Polish "Great Emigration."
In Paris, he made a comfortable living as a composer and piano teacher, while giving few public performances. A Polish patriot,
Chopin's extant compositions were written primarily for the piano as a solo instrument. Though technically demanding, Chopin's style emphasizes nuance and expressive depth rather than virtuosity. Chopin invented musical forms such as the ballade and was responsible for major innovations in forms such as the piano sonata, waltz, nocturne, étude, impromptu and prelude. His works are mainstays of Romanticism in 19th-century classical music.

Manuel María Ponce Cuéllar (8 December 1882 – 24 April 1948) was a Mexican composer active in the 20th century. His work as a composer, music educator and scholar of Mexican music connected the concert scene with a mostly forgotten tradition of popular song and Mexican folklore. Many of his compositions are strongly influenced by the harmonies and form of traditional songs.
Mazurka No. 6 Sheet Music
Johannes Brahms (May 7, 1833 – April 3, 1897) was a German composer of the Romantic period. He was born in Hamburg and in his later years he settled in Vienna, Austria.
Brahms maintained a Classical sense of form and order in his works – in contrast to the opulence of the music of many of his contemporaries. Thus many admirers (though not necessarily Brahms himself) saw him as the champion of traditional forms and "pure music," as opposed to the New German embrace of program music.
Brahms venerated Beethoven: in the composer's home, a marble bust of Beethoven looked down on the spot where he composed, and some passages in his works are reminiscent of Beethoven's style. The main theme of the finale of Brahms's First Symphony is reminiscent of the main theme of the finale of Beethoven's Ninth, and when this resemblance was pointed out to Brahms he replied that any ass – jeder Esel – could see that.
Ein deutsches Requiem was partially inspired by his mother's death in 1865, but also incorporates material from a Symphony he started in 1854, but abandoned following Schumann's suicide attempt. He once wrote that the Requiem "belonged to Schumann". The first movement of this abandoned Symphony was re-worked as the first movement of the First Piano Concerto.
Brahms also loved the Classical composers Mozart and Haydn. He collected first editions and autographs of their works, and edited performing editions. He also studied the music of pre-classical composers, including Giovanni Gabrieli, Johann Adolph Hasse, Heinrich Schütz and especially Johann Sebastian Bach. His friends included leading musicologists, and with Friedrich Chrysander he edited an edition of the works of François Couperin. He looked to older music for inspiration in the arts of strict counterpoint; the themes of some of his works are modelled on Baroque sources, such as Bach's The Art of Fugue in the fugal finale of Cello Sonata No. 1, or the same composer's Cantata No. 150 in the passacaglia theme of the Fourth Symphony's finale.

Henry Mancini (April 16, 1924 – June 14, 1994) was an American composer, conductor and arranger. He is remembered particularly for being a composer of film and television scores. Mancini also won a record number of Grammy awards, including a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 1995. His best-known works are the jazz-idiom theme to The Pink Panther film series ("The Pink Panther Theme"), the Peter Gunn Theme (from the so-named series) and "Moon River".
Mancini was nominated for an unprecedented 72 Grammys, winning 20. Additionally he was nominated for 18 Academy Awards, winning four. He also won a Golden Globe Award and was nominated for two Emmys.
Mancini won a total of four Oscars for his music in the course of his career. He was first nominated for an Academy Award in 1955 for his original score of The Glenn Miller Story, on which he collaborated with Joseph Gershenson. He lost out to Adolph Deutsch and Saul Chaplin's Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. In 1962 he was nominated in the Best Music, Original Song category for "Bachelor in Paradise" from the film of the same name, in collaboration with lyricist Mack David. That song did not win. However, Mancini did receive two Oscars that year: one in the same category, for the song "Moon River" (shared with lyricist Johnny Mercer), and one for "Best Music, Scoring of a Dramatic or Comedy Picture" for Breakfast at Tiffany's. The following year, he and Mercer took another Best Song award for "Days of Wine and Roses," another eponymous theme song. His next eleven nominations went for naught, but he finally garnered one last statuette working with lyricist Leslie Bricusse on the score for Victor/Victoria, which won the "Best Music, Original Song Score and Its Adaptation or Best Adaptation Score" award for 1983. All three of the films for which he won were directed by Blake Edwards. His score for Victor/Victoria was adapted for the 1995 Broadway musical of the same name.

W.A. Mozart
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (German: , full baptismal name Johannes Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Theophilus Mozart (27 January 1756 – 5 December 1791), was a prolific and influential composer of the Classical era. He composed over 600 works, many acknowledged as pinnacles of symphonic, concertante, chamber, piano, operatic, and choral music. He is among the most enduringly popular of classical composers.
Mozart showed prodigious ability from his earliest childhood in Salzburg. Already competent on keyboard and violin, he composed from the age of five and performed before European royalty; at 17 he was engaged as a court musician in Salzburg, but grew restless and traveled in search of a better position, always composing abundantly. While visiting Vienna in 1781, he was dismissed from his Salzburg position. He chose to stay in the capital, where he achieved fame but little financial security. During his final years in Vienna, he composed many of his best-known symphonies, concertos, and operas, and the Requiem. The circumstances of his early death have been much mythologized. He was survived by his wife Constanze and two sons.
Mozart learned voraciously from others, and developed a brilliance and maturity of style that encompassed the light and graceful along with the dark and passionate—the whole informed by a vision of humanity "redeemed through art, forgiven, and reconciled with nature and the absolute." His influence on subsequent Western art music is profound. Beethoven wrote his own early compositions in the shadow of Mozart, of whom Joseph Haydn wrote that "posterity will not see such a talent again in 100 years."
Rondò alla Turca Sheet Music
Franz Joseph Haydn (March 31, 1732 – May 31, 1809) was one of the most prominent composers of the classical period, and is called by some the "Father of the Symphony" and "Father of the String Quartet".
A life-long resident of Austria, Haydn spent most of his career as a court musician for the wealthy Hungarian Esterházy family on their remote estate. Isolated from other composers and trends in music until the later part of his long life, he was, as he put it, "forced to become original".
Although Haydn is still often called "Franz Joseph Haydn", the composer did not use the name "Franz" during his lifetime and this misnomer is avoided by modern scholars and historians. Joseph Haydn was the brother of Michael Haydn, himself a highly regarded composer, and Johann Evangelist Haydn, a tenor.
A central characteristic of Haydn's music is the development of larger structures out of very short, simple musical motifs, often derived from standard accompanying figures. The music is often quite formally concentrated, and the important musical events of a movement can unfold rather quickly.
Haydn's work was central to the development of what came to be called sonata form. His practice, however, differed in some ways from that of Mozart and Beethoven, his younger contemporaries who likewise excelled in this form of composition. Haydn was particularly fond of the so-called "monothematic exposition", in which the music that establishes the dominant key is similar or identical to the opening theme. Haydn also differs from Mozart and Beethoven in his recapitulation sections, where he often rearranges the order of themes compared to the exposition and uses extensive thematic development.
Perhaps more than any other composer's, Haydn's music is known for its humour. The most famous example is the sudden loud chord in the slow movement of his "Surprise" symphony; Haydn's many other musical jokes include numerous false endings (e.g., in the quartets Op. 33 No. 2 and Op. 50 No. 3), and the remarkable rhythmic illusion placed in the trio section of the third movement of Op. 50 No. 1.

Franz Liszt (October 22, 1811 – July 31, 1886) was a Hungarian composer, virtuoso pianist and teacher.
Liszt became renowned throughout Europe for his great skill as a performer; to this day, many consider him to have been the greatest pianist in history. He was also an important and influential composer, a notable piano teacher, a conductor who contributed significantly to the modern development of the art, and a benefactor to other composers and performers, notably Richard Wagner and Hector Berlioz.
As a composer, Liszt was one of the most prominent representatives of the "Neudeutsche Schule" ("New German School"). He left behind a huge and diverse oeuvre, in which he influenced his forward-looking contemporaries and anticipated some 20th-century ideas and trends. Some of his most notable contributions were the invention of the symphonic poem, developing the concept of thematic transformation as part of his experiments in musical form and making radical departures in harmony.
Liszt has most frequently been credited to have been the first pianist who gave concerts with programs consisting only of solo pieces. An example is a concert he gave on March 9, 1839, at the Palazzo Poli in Rome. Since Liszt could not find singers who — following the usual habit of the time — should have completed the program, he played four numbers all alone.
Liszt was a prolific composer. Most of his music is for the piano and much of it requires formidable technique.In his most famous and virtuosic works, he is the archetypal Romantic composer. Liszt pioneered the technique of thematic transformation, a method of development which was related to both the existing variation technique and to the new use of the Leitmotif by Richard Wagner. Liszt's piano works are usually divided into two classes. On the one hand, there are "original works", and on the other hand "transcriptions", "paraphrases" or "fantasies" on works by other composers.

Jerome David Kern (January 27, 1885 – November 11, 1945) was an American composer of musical theatre and popular music. One of the most important American theatre composers of the early 20th century, he wrote more than 700 songs, used in over 100 stage works, including such classics as "Ol' Man River", "Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man", "A Fine Romance", "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes", "All the Things You Are", "The Way You Look Tonight", "Long Ago (and Far Away)" and "Who?". He collaborated with many of the leading librettists and lyricists of his era, including George Grossmith Jr., Guy Bolton, P. G. Wodehouse, Otto Harbach, Oscar Hammerstein II, Dorothy Fields, Johnny Mercer, Ira Gershwin and E. Y. Harburg.
A native New Yorker, Kern created dozens of Broadway musicals and Hollywood films in a career that lasted for more than four decades. His musical innovations, such as 4/4 dance rhythms and the employment of syncopation and jazz progressions, built on, rather than rejected, earlier musical theatre tradition. He and his collaborators also employed his melodies to further the action or develop characterization to a greater extent than in the other musicals of his day, creating the model for later musicals. Although dozens of Kern's musicals and musical films were hits, only Show Boat is now regularly revived. Songs from his other shows, however, are still frequently performed and adapted. Although Kern detested jazz arrangements of his songs, many have been adopted by jazz musicians to become standard tunes.

Philip Glass (born January 31, 1937) is a three-time Academy Award-nominated American classical music composer. He is considered one of the most influential composers of the late-20th century and is widely acknowledged as a composer who has brought art music to the American public (along with precursors such as Richard Strauss, Kurt Weill and Leonard Bernstein).
His music is described as minimalist, from which he distanced himself in being a composer of "music with repetitive structures". Although his early, mature music is minimalist, he has evolved stylistically. Currently, he describes himself as a "Classicist", trained in harmony and counterpoint and studied Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven, and Franz Schubert.
Glass is a prolific composer: he has written ensemble works, operas, eight symphonies, eight concertos, film scores, and solo works. Glass counts many visual artists, writers, musicians, and directors among his friends, including Richard Serra, Chuck Close, Doris Lessing, Allen Ginsberg, Errol Morris, Robert Wilson, JoAnne Akalaitis, John Moran, actors Bill Treacher and Peter Dean, Godfrey Reggio, Ravi Shankar, Linda Ronstadt, Paul Simon, David Bowie, Patti Smith, the conductor Dennis Russell Davies, and electronic musician Aphex Twin, who have all collaborated with him. Among recent collaborators are Glass's fellow New Yorkers Leonard Cohen, and Woody Allen. He composed an opera for the opening of Expo '98.

"The Best of Both Worlds" é um episódio em duas partes, o vigésimo sexto episódio da terceira temporada e o primeiro da quarta, da série de ficção científica Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Visão geral
"The Best of Both Worlds" é um significante e aclamado episódio em duas partes de Star Trek: The Next Generation que foi escrito por Michael Piller e dirigido por Cliff Boyle. "Part I" foi ao ar na semana de 18 de junho de 1990 como o último episódio da terceira temporada e terminou como um cliffhanger. "Part II" concluiu a história como o primeiro episódio da quarta temporada durante a semana de 24 de setembro de 1990. Muitos fãs e críticos os consideram como dois dos melhores episódios de toda a franquia Star Trek, tendo atingido um nível quase cinematográfico em história e escala. Com estes episódios, e com a entrada em uma sem precedente quarta temporada, foi considerado que a The Next Generation finalmente emergiu da sombra de sua predecessora. Venceu os Primetime Emmy Award de Melhor Edição de Som para uma Série e Melhor Mixagem de Som para uma Série, tendo ainda sido indicado para "Melhores Efeitos Visuais para uma Série e Melhor Direção de Arte para uma Série.

Os episódios originaram as citações "Resistir é inútil" e "Você será assimilado", que se tornaram parte da cultura popular, algumas vezes uados, por exemplo, para parodiar Bill Gates, Microsoft e outras instituições.

"The Best of Both Worlds" também é notável por sua trilha sonora, composta por Ron Jones, que usa corais sintetizados como o tema dos borg. A trilha recebeu muitos elogios e eventualmente foi lançado como um álbum.

Enredo

Parte I
A USS Enterprise-D responde a um pedido de socorro vindo de uma colônia da Federação, descobrindo uma enorme cratera similar a aquelas encontradas nas colônias perto da Zona Neutra Romulana. A Tenente-Comandante Shelby, uma especialista nos Borg, chega para ajudar a tripulação da Enterprise a determinar a causa do desaparecimento da colônia. O Comandante Riker está sendo pressionado a assumir o comando de uma nave própria pela Frota Estelar e Shelby está obstinada a tomar o lugar de Riker como a primeiro oficial não importando sua decisão. Apesar da tensão entre os dois, eles confirmam que a colônia foi assimilada pelos Borg. A Enterprise recebe informações de que um Cubo Borg foi avistado em espaço da Federação, indo interceptá-lo.

Ao encontrar o Cubo, os Borg exigem que o Capitão Picard se entregue. Quando ele se recusa, eles travam um raio trator na Enterprise e começam a cortar uma seção do casco. Shelby sugere alterar as frequências das armas da nave de forma aleatória para impedir que os Borg se adaptem ao ataque. A tática obtém sucesso, e a Enterprise escapa para uma nebula próxima. Geordi La Forge e Wesley Crusher adaptam a técnica de Shelby e trabalham para modificar a antena defletora para atirar uma enorme descarga de energia capaz de destruir o Cubo. Os Borg forçam a Enterprise a sair da nebulosa, invadindo a nave e abduzindo Picard. O Cubo Borg então entra em dobra e vai em direção a Terra, com a Enterprise seguindo.

Riker, agora no comando da nave, se prepara para ir com um grupo de desembarque para dentro do Cubo na tentativa de salvar Picard, porém Troi fala que seu lugar agora é na ponte, e a Tenente-Comandante Shelby acaba liderando o grupo. Abordo do Cubo, os Borg não respondem a presença deles, permitindo a localização do uniforme e do comunicador de Picard. Com a Enterprise não conseguindo manter a perseguição, o grupo destrói nódulos de força dentro do Cubo, forçando sua saída de dobra. Enquanto eles se preparam para serem transportados de volta para a Enterprise, eles avistam Picard, agora assimilado como um zangão Borg. Os Borg contatam a nave, com Picard falando por eles. Ele informa que ele agora é "Locutus dos Borg", e os avisa para se prepararem para a assimilação. Riker, sabendo que o escudo defletor está pronto, dá a ordem para atirar.

Parte II
A energia do escudo defletor falha em causar algum dano ao Cubo. Locutus revela que ele possui todo o conhecimento de Picard, e que os Borg se prepararam para o ataque. Enquanto o Cubo Borg termina seus reparos, Locutus informa Riker que "Sua resistência é inútil, Número Um", e o Cubo entra em dobra e continua seu curso em direção a Terra, com a desabilitada Enterprise não conseguindo seguir. Ao reportar sua situação para a Frota Estelar, Riker é promovido a Capitão, e recebe a informação que um enorme número de naves está se reunindo em Wolf 359 para parar o Cubo Borg. Monitorando a batalha pelas comunicações subespaciais, fica claro que as coisas não estão indo bem para a Frota Estelar. Quando a Enterprise finalmente chegam em Wolf 359, eles encontram o sistema repleto por inúmeras naves estelares destruídas pelo Cubo, incluindo a Melbourne, a qual Riker tinha sido oferecido com comando.

Riker e o resto da tripulação desenvolvem um plano para resgatar Picard e tentar parar o Cubo. Enquanto a Enterprise segue o Cubo em direção a Terra, eles se oferecem para negociar com Locutus, sendo negados; porém a comunicação permite saber a exata localização dele dentro da nave Borg. A Enterprise se separa, com a seção do disco se movendo para longe da batalha enquanto o casco secundário enfrenta o Cubo, exatamente o plano que Shelby havia sugerido à Picard como alternativa se o ataque do escudo defletor falhasse. Antecipando que Locutus iria apenas se concentrar no casco secundário, Riker faz a seção do disco disparar uma propagação de antimatéria perto do Cubo, perturbando os sensores e permitindo que uma nave auxiliar pilotada por Data e Worf passe pelos escudos Borg, transportando-se para dentro do Cubo, capturando Locutus e escapando. Data e a Dra. Crusher prendem Locutus no laboratório permitindo que o andróide crie uma ligação neural com Locutus para acessar a consciência coletiva dos Borg. Como a última resistência da Terra, Data tenta usar a ligação para desabilitar as armas e os sistemas defensivos dos Borg, porém descobre que eles estão protegidos de interferência externa. Com os Borg à beira de invadir a Terra, Riker ordena um curso de colisão com o Cubo, porém antes de dar a ordem para acionar, Data pede para ele esperar. Picard de alguma forma saiu do controle dos Borg e disse para Data a palavra "dormir". Data consegue usar um comando desprotegido dos Borg para todos irem dormir, desativando suas armas e escudos. A tripulação Enterprise descobre que os Borg podem "acordar" a qualquer momento e decidem destruir o Cubo.

Sem a influência dos Borg, a Dra. Crusher e Data conseguem remover todos os implantes de Picard, apesar dele precisar de tempo para se recuperar tanto física como mentalmente da experiência. Shelby vai para uma força tarefa dedicada a reconstruir a frota. Sozinho em sua sala, Picard olha para a Terra, perturbado por tudo que ocorreu.

Continuidade
"The Best of Both Worlds" é uma continuação da ameaça Borg indicada primeiramente no episódio "The Neutral Zone", da primeira temporada, e mais tarde confrontada em "Q Who", da segunda.

Dado a sua popularidade, estes episódios foram revisitados várias vezes na franquia Star Trek. O episódio seguinte, "Family", detalha a luta de Picard para se recuperar da assimilação. O conflito com os Borg é referenciado em episódios posteriores da quarta temporada: em "The Wounded", o Capitão Benjamin Maxwell diz a Riker que "todos nós lhe devemos" por derrotar os Borg, enquanto em "The Drumhead" a Almirante Norah Satie interroga Picard sobre sua assimilação como uma forma de humilhá-lo. O desejo de vingança por parte de Picard é um tema central no filme Star Trek: First Contact, com flashbacks mostrando sua captura.

Apesar dos espectadores terem visto apenas o resultado da Batalha de Wolf 359 na segunda parte, cenas da batalha verdadeira apareceram três anos depois no episódio piloto de Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, "Emissary". O protagonista da série, Benjamin Sisko, teve vários oficiais amigos mortos abordo da USS Saratoga, que se perdeu na batalha junto com sua esposa. Sisko é mostrado culpando Picard na morte dela. No episódio "In Die Is Cast", quando um grupo de naves cardassianos e romulanas é destruída pelos Dominion, Sisko compara o massacre a Wolf 359.

Recepção
Zack Handlen da The A.V. Club deu às duas partes uma nota "A", categorizando ambos os episódios como "espetaculares". Os episódios apareceram na lista dos 100 Momentos Mais Memoráveis da História da TV da TV Guide na edição de julho de 1995, e também em uma outra edição nos 100 Maiores Episódios de TV de Todos os Tempos. Em 2007, para celebrar os 20 anos da série, a Entertainment Weekly fez sua lista dos 10 melhores episódios de The Next Generation, colocando as duas partes de "The Best of Both Worlds" na segunda colocação.

Should I wait for the market to cool off before I purchase a home?
Well, that depends. In a hot market, like we've seen in Atlanta the last several years, I've heard some buyers say they'll just wait for the market to cool off before they purchase a home. The trick with that is, by the time the market finally cools off prices may have gone up another 10-15% (or possibly more). And just because the market is no longer "a seller's market" doesn't mean that prices will start falling. Talk with your agent about the pros and cons of waiting. Every home and neighborhood is different and they'll be able to provide more detail about the valuation of the specific home you're looking at.
How do I put together the best offer …it's not all about price.
Make sure that you've been pre-qualified for a mortgage and have a pre-qualification letter from a lender. Sellers want to be sure that you can actually buy the home, and the only way to show that you can is to provide a bank confirmation.
Minimize or eliminate as many contingencies as possible. While there will always be a few contingencies written into the contract that safeguard the buyer, talk with your agent about ways to eliminate any unnecessary ones. The most common ones that you'll want to keep are the due diligence contingency and the financing contingency.
Most buyers (if they currently own a home) will need to sell it before they can qualify to purchase another home. You can discuss options to get around this with your agent, and if you can remove this contingency you're offer will always look better in the eyes of the seller.
Unless you're an inexperienced investor or general contractor with deep pockets, I would never recommend removing the due diligence contingency (the inspection contingency). However there are ways that you can make this more palatable for the seller such as minimizing the duration.
Be reasonable with your offer price. If you were selling your home, do you think you take $50,000 off the price the first week it's on the market? Normally an offer within 5% of the asking price won't alienate a seller. However, in a strong seller's market like the one we've experienced the last few years in Atlanta, offering too little can cause you to miss an opportunity so be sure to discuss the best strategy with your agent.
While the traditional 20% down payment is still the most common amount to put down on a conventional loan, there are once again a variety of options in which you'll only need 5% -10% down. FHA financing is also available which allows for a 3 ½% down payment. However, be sure to talk with your agent about the pros and cons of each type of financing. The amount you put down can impact your interest rate and whether or not there are additional fees like mortgage insurance.
Good question. While the most obvious cost is the price of the home, there are a few other items that you need to keep in mind and budget for. Since the seller typically pays all real estate commissions, the only other costs the buyer needs to be aware of are the closing costs. These costs are due at the closing table and consist of two parts: loan costs (origination fees, processing fees, credit report, document preparation, title insurance, etc.) and "prepaids" (prepaid insurance and property taxes, HOA fees, etc.).
Closing costs are how much?!!
Closing costs can fluctuate depending on the time of year and the day of the month; however, a good rule of thumb is that they are typically between 2 -3% of the cost of the house. Yep, even after you've come up with your down payment you will still need to budget for these costs which are due at the closing table.
Don't worry though… While the buyer is typically responsible for most of the closing costs, it's very common to negotiate a dollar amount that seller will contribute towards the closing costs. There are strategies to this, but it's a great way to minimize the amount of cash a buyer needs to bring to the closing table. Be sure to talk with your agent though about the pros and cons of requesting a seller's closing contribution (and how much to request).
What condition can I expect a pre-owned home to be in when I move in?
Unless you specify otherwise in the contract, you should expect your home to be in "broom-swept" condition with all trash and debris removed. Again, unless it specified in the contract sellers are not required to patch any holes left by pictures or wall hangings. Generally speaking though, the home should be in the exact same condition it was when you wrote the contract. You'll have the opportunity to walk through the house just before closing to ensure that nothing material has changed – i.e.: the movers haven't knocked a hole in a wall or dragged the refrigerator across the hardwood floors. If you do notice damage that wasn't there before, be sure to talk with your agent about the best way to handle this.
Do I need to get the home inspected?
Yes. You should always have your home inspected. The language in the Georgia Association of REALTORS' Purchase and Sale Agreement states that a buyer has the right to a due diligence period. While this can be waived, I never recommend it. During the due diligence period, you'll have a certain amount of time to hire an inspector and look for any defects.
What happens if the inspector finds problems?
I have never had an inspection (even on brand-new homes) where the inspector didn't find some items that needed to be addressed. Most homeowners are willing to correct serious problems and you can discuss with your agent the best way to proceed with those requests. If the inspection does reveal problems that the homeowner is unwilling to remedy, you do have the ability to cancel the contract any time during the due diligence period.


William F. (Bill) Mellberg, our long-time friend and co-editor of this website, passed away on April 18th after enduring an 18-month struggle with pancreatic cancer. He was well aware of the physical pain this disease produces, which he had to endure, because his mother also suffered with it in a year-long battle 17 years ago. But he faced his trials with equanimity, even humor, as he did with all the problems he faced in life.

Bill's zest for life was eclectic, ranging from aviation, space, the Moon, technology, history, science, and the politics associated with those subjects— as well as politics in general. He was also an inveterate builder of model aircraft, rockets, spaceships (both real and sci-fi), and a collector of rare, vintage model kits. He was very knowledgeable in the history and circumstances of the many model companies which produced those kits.
Growth in this wide ranging interest was heavily influenced by inheritance from his father, Frank Mellberg. Frank was the principal designer of the Bell & Howell lens system of the Surveyor television camera. Surveyor was America's first soft lander on the Moon; and Bill's description of it can be found on this website as a PDF file in the right sidebar under "Editors: Mellberg – Downloads". As a 14 year old, Bill fondly remembers riding with his Dad while holding Surveyor cameras on his lap as Frank drove out to the air freight area at O'Hare airport to ship them to Hughes Aircraft in Culver City where the spacecraft were constructed. Frank was also a consummate model builder, having scratch-built large scale models of the Surveyor spacecraft on the one hand and the Spirit of St. Louis and Northwest's Hamilton Metalplane No. 20 on the other. The latter two are featured centerpieces in the Mitchell Gallery of Flight in Milwaukee. So the father's capabilities also found expression in the son in one form or another.

After graduating with a B.S. degree in Business Administration from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Bill joined Fokker Aircraft USA as a marketing and public relations representative. He moved on to Ozark Airlines in 1977, and afterwards formed his own company selling aircraft parts and supplies for local airlines. Bill was forced by the general economy of 1980 to develop an avocation he had from his high school days and become a humorist, impressionist, and a political satirist, as well as a public speaker. His ability to duplicate the voices of well known, as well as little known personalities, was uncanny, ranging from various Presidents and Congressional members to Hollywood actors and a few of the astronauts. Julia Child was the only female impersonation he attempted, and he said it made him feel like Milton Berle in drag (he also impersonated Milton Berle). He was adept at making Ed Sullivan sound funnier than he was (or attempted to be); and his Jack Benny impersonation in front of Benny himself brought the deadpan Benny-styled comment: "Say… that's good, kid!".
Bill was also very proud of a plaque presented to him, which read in part: "Presented to William F. Mellberg, who sounds more like Paul Harvey than Paul Harvey. Signed: Paul Harvey"! But perhaps one of his most favorite appearances was at a White House Gala in front of President Ronald Reagan and Nancy in 1991, both of whom laughed along with the audience at Bill's impersonation of the President. In fact, Bill maintained a website: "An Evening with the Presidents", which sampled some of his political satire. He also had a weekly radio program of political satire and banter with two announcers at ESPN Radio 93.5 until his illness forced him to give it up.

The President was one of Bill's favorite impersonations on his many road trips, including a program for the opening of "The Ronald Reagan Trail". The "Trail" is a tourist route in Illinois which links Reagan's birthplace in Tampico, his hometown in Dixon and his college town in Eureka.
Bill wrote numerous aviation articles for magazines, and published two aerospace books, Famous Airliners (1994, 1999) and Moon Missions (1997). He also delivered many public speeches usually on the subject of aviation history— a close friend was Jim Floyd, whose principal designs were the Avro Canada C-102 Jetliner and the CF-105 Arrow (not to mention Floyd's involvements with the British Lancaster and the Concorde). In 2004, Bill gave the keynote address in Toronto at the 55th anniversary of the Jetliner's first flight in 1949 with Floyd present in the audience. It was so well-received by all that Bill was invited back to give the keynote address 5 years later at the 60th anniversary. Bill was given a special model of the Jetliner after that first address. Later, he was given a large print of the Jetliner autographed by Floyd and several pilots and flight engineers still living, who were associated with the aircraft. It was drawn by the aviation artist Bob Bradford, also a former Director of the National Aviation Museum in Ottawa.

As an aviation historian, Bill had special feelings about the demise of the Jetliner and the Arrow, as had many others in Canadian aviation history. But he took comfort in the fact that many of the Avro Engineers schooled by Jim Floyd wound up working for NASA and the Apollo program.

In return for the award and honor that the RCMP made to Bill in 1987, he used his talent to construct a 1/24 scale model of the RCMP de Havilland Canada DHC-2 float-plane, called the "Beaver". It was presented to S/Sgt. Joe Roenspies for display in the Headquarters Senior NCO's Mess. S/Sgt. Roenspies had nominated Bill for the honorary membership in the RCMP.
Fig. 8. S/Sgt. Joe Roenspies of the RCMP beside the display case in the Senior NCO's Mess in Ottawa, Canada with Bill's model Beaver as the centerpiece. The DHC-2 was a chief work horse bush aircraft of the RCMP Air Division since 1949 with variants thereafter. It is also the favorite aircraft flown by the actor Harrison Ford.
To acknowledge the rare honor bestowed upon him by the RCMP and as an expression of his enjoyment of the beautiful countryside in Canada through which he traveled, Bill chose to be buried in his scarlet S/Sgt. Mountie's uniform. Some of us know, however, that Bill also had a twinkle in his eye, because he knew that some things "you can take with you"! The one thing that he did not plan on was his death on tax day, April 18th, cheating the taxman in the old phrase that in life there are two things you have to do: "die and pay taxes". He had the last laugh after all!
Bill's life was extraordinary, touching as it did so many people in so many ways. Awards, signed photos, honorary memberships, friendships with notable people are a testament to how he so easily (and graciously) affected those who had the good fortune to know him. Of course, he would always look at that the other way around— that he was so fortunate to have met and known so many dignitaries as well as ordinary people. Those who were his friends, while saddened by his passing, were also enriched by having known him. But all of us recognize that he has now witnessed the handiwork of God in the heavens which we all strive to reach.
