The Frog-Tzarevna
Then the Baba-Yaga, being pleased with his spirit, gave him food and drink and made ready a bath for him;

In olden time, in a time long before present days, in a certain Tzardom of an Empire far across the blue seas and behind high mountains, there lived a Tzar and his Tzaritza. The Tzar had lived long in the white world, and through long living had become old. He had three sons, Tzareviches, all of them young, brave and unmarried, and altogether of such a sort that they could not be described by words spoken in a tale or written down with a pen. During the long white days they flew about on their fiery, beautiful horses, like bright hawks under the blue sky. All three were handsome and clever, but the handsomest and cleverest was the youngest, and he was Tzarevich Ivan.
One day the Tzar summoned his three sons to his presence and said: "My dear children, ye have now arrived at man's estate and it is time for you to think of marriage. I desire you to select maidens to be loving wives to you and to me dutiful daughters-in-law. Take, therefore, your well-arched bows and arrows which have been hardened in the fire. Go into the untrodden field wherein no one is permitted to hunt, draw the bows tight and shoot in different directions, and in whatsoever Courts the arrows fall, there demand your wives-to-be. She who brings to each his arrow shall be his bride."
So the Tzareviches made arrows, hardened them in the fire, and going into the untrodden field, shot them in different directions. The eldest brother shot to the east, the second to the west, and the youngest, Tzarevich Ivan, drew his bow with all his strength and shot his arrow straight before him.
On making search, the eldest brother found that his arrow had fallen in the courtyard of a Boyar, where it lay before the tower in which were the apartments of the maidens. The second brother's arrow had fallen in the courtyard of a rich merchant who traded with foreign countries, and pierced a window at which the merchant's daughter ‹a lovely girl soul ‹was standing. But the arrow of Tzarevich Ivan could not be found at all.
Tzarevich Ivan searched in deep sorrow and grief. For two whole days he wandered in the woods and fields, and on the third day he came by chance to a boggy swamp, where the black soil gave way under the foot, and in the middle of the swamp he came upon a great frog which held in her mouth the arrow he had shot.
When he saw this he turned to run away, leaving his arrow behind him, but the Frog cried: "Kwa ! Kwa ! Tzarevich Ivan, - come to me and take shine arrow. If thou wilt not take me for thy wife, thou wilt never get out of this marsh."
Ivan was greatly surprised to hear the frog speak, and was at a loss to know what to do. But at last he took the arrow, picked up the frog, put her in a fold of his coat and went sadly home.
When he arrived at the Palace and told his story, his brothers jeered at him, and the two beautiful maidens whom they were to marry laughed at him also, so that he went weeping to the Tzar and said: "How can I ever take this frog to wife‹a little thing that says - Kwa! Kwa!" She is not my equal. To live one's life long is not like crossing a river or walking over a field. How shall I live with a frog ?" But the Tzar made answer: "Take her, for such was my royal word, and such is thy fate !" And though Tzarevich Ivan wept a long time, there was no further word to be said, since one cannot go contrary to his fate.
So the sons of the Tzar were married --- the eldest to the nobleman's daughter, the second to the daughter of the merchant, and the youngest, Tzarevich Ivan, was married to the frog. When the day came, he went to the Palace in a closed carriage and the frog was carried on a golden dish.
So they lived, a long time or a short time, and Tzarevich Ivan treated the frog with gentleness and kindness till a day came when the Tzar summoned his three sons before him and said: "Dear children, now that ye are wedded, I am minded to try the skill of my daughters-in-law in the arts of housewifery. Take from my storeroom, therefore, each of you, a piece of linen cloth, and his wife shall make of it a shirt which thee shall bring to me to-morrow morning."
The two elder brothers took the linen to their wives, who at once called together their maidservants and nurses and all set to work busily to cut the stuff and to sew it. And as they worked they laughed to think of Tzarevich Ivan, saying:
"What will his little Quacker make for him to bring to the Tzar to-morrow?" But Tzarevich Ivan went home looking as if he had swallowed a needle. "How can my little frog-wife make a shirt?" he thought, "she who only creeps on the floor and croaks!" And his bright head hung down lower than his shoulders.
When she saw him, however, the frog spoke. "Kwa! Kwa! Tzarevich Ivan, why art thou so downcast? Hast thou heard from the Tzar thy father a hard, unpleasant word?"
"How can I fail to be downcast?" answered Ivan. "The Tzar, my father, has ordered that thou shouldst sew a shirt out of this linen for him to-morrow."
"Worry not," said the frog, "and have no fear. Go to bed and rest. There is more wisdom in the morning than in the evening!"
When Tzarevich Ivan had laid himself down to sleep, she called servants and bade them cut the linen he had brought into small pieces. Then dismissing them, she took the pieces in her mouth, hopped to the window and threw them out, saying: "Winds! Winds! Fly abroad with these linen shreds and sew me a shirt for the Tzar, my father in-law!" And before one could tell it, back into the room flew a shirt all stitched and finished.
Next morning when Tzarevich Ivan awoke, the frog presented him with a shirt. "There it is," she said. "Take it to thy father and see if it pleases him." Ivan was greatly rejoiced and putting the shirt under his coat, set out to the Palace, where his two elder brothers had already arrived.
First of all the eldest brother presented his shirt to his father. The Tzar took it, examined it and said: "This is sewn in the common way it is fit only to be worn in a poor man's hut!" He took the shirt which the second son had brought, and said: "This is sewn somewhat better than the other and is perhaps good enough for me to wear when I go to my bath." But when he took the shirt that Tzarevich Ivan presented him, he examined it with delight, for no single seam could be seen in it. He could not admire it enough and gave orders that it should be given him to wear only on the greatest holidays. Ivan went home happy, but his two brothers said to one another: "We need not laugh at Ivan's wife; she is not really a frog, but a witch."
A second time the Tzar summoned his three sons and said: "My dear children, I wish to taste bread baked by the hands of my daughters-in-law. Bring me to-morrow morning, therefore, each of you a loaf of soft white bread."
Tzarevich Ivan returned home looking as if he had eaten something without salt, and his bright head hung lower than his shoulders, and when the frog saw him, she said:
"Kwa! Kwa! Kworax! Tzarevich Ivan, why art thou so sad? Hast thou heard a harsh, unfriendly word from the Tzar thy father?"
"Why should I not be sad?" answered Ivan. "The Tzar my father has bidden that thou bake him for to-morrow a loaf of soft white bread."
"Mourn not, Tzarevich Ivan. Be not sad for nothing. Go to bed and sleep in comfort. The morning is wiser than the evening."
When he was asleep she ordered servants to bring a pastry-pot, put flour and cold water into it and make a paste. This she bade them put into the cold oven, and when they were gone she hopped before the oven door and said:
"Bread, Bread! Be baked! Clean, white, and soft as snow!"
Instantly the oven door flew open and the loaf rolled out, cooked crisp and white.
Now the two Tzarevnas, the wives of the other brothers, hated the frog because of the shirt she had made, and when they heard the command of the Tzar, the wife of the eldest brother sent a little black slavegirl to spy on the frog and see what she would do. The black girl hid herself where she could watch, and went and told her mistress what she had seen and heard. Then the two Tzarevnas tried to imitate the frog. They dissolved their flour in cold water, poured the paste into cold ovens and repeated over and over again:
But the ovens remained cold and the paste would not bake.
Seeing this, in anger they gave the poor slavegirl a cruel beating, ordered more flour, made paste with hot water and heated the ovens. But the spilled paste had flowed all about and clogged the flues and made them useless, so that one had her loaf bumed on one side and the other took hers out underbaked.
In the moming, when Tzarevich Ivan woke, the frog sent him to the Palace with his bread wrapped in a towel, and the brothers came also with theirs.
The Tzar cut the loaf of the eldest son and tasted it. "Such bread," he said, "might be eaten only out of misery," and he sent it to the kitchen that it might be given to the beggars. He tasted that of the second son and said: "Give this to my hounds." When Tzarevich Ivan unwrapped his loaf, however, all exclaimed in admiration. For it was so splendid that it would be impossible to make one like it - it could only be told of in tales. It was adorned with all kinds of cunning designs and on its sides were wrought the Tzar's cities with t

Lectures: "William of Norwich/Vilhjálmr í Norðvík: Anti-Jewish Legends from England to Iceland," Dr. Richard Cole (Postdoctoral Research Fellow, University of Notre Dame) 2PM; "Napoleon in Parts: Counterfactualism and the Historical Effigy in Nineteenth-Century British Literature,"Dr. Ruth McAdams (Visiting Assistant Professor, Humanities Program, Boğaziçi University) 4PM, G-160 March 24 (EN)
Dear Bilkent faculty and students,
The Department of English Language and Literature is to hold two lectures on March 24, Friday, in G-160 at 2 pm and 4 pm. From 3:00 to 4:00, there will be a reception in front of G-160.
Dr. Richard Cole (Postdoctoral research fellow, University of Notre Dame): "William of Norwich/Vilhjálmr í Norðvík: Anti-Jewish Legends from England to Iceland" (2 pm)
Dr. Ruth McAdams (Visiting Assistant Professor, Humanities Program, Boğaziçi University): "Napoleon in Parts: Counterfactualism and the Historical Effigy in Nineteenth-Century British Literature" (4 pm)
Abstract for Dr. Cole's lecture:
In 1144, the body of a young boy named William was found in the woods outside the city of Norwich. The local Jewish community was blamed for the boy's murder. Although the authorities quickly came to the Jews' defence, the accusation that William had been murdered by the Jews formed the basis for the 'blood libel' myth: the enduring belief that Jews ritually murder Christian children for occult purposes. In Norwich and its immediate environs, William was revered as a saint, but the cult of William of Norwich was not particularly successful elsewhere. Strangely, of the two references to William found outside of Eastern England, one is from a medieval Icelandic legend. How did a regional saint from East Anglia arrive in Iceland? And how did medieval Icelanders relate to gruesome stories about Jews, when their own country had a complete absence of Jewish settlement?
Abstract for Dr. McAdams's lecture:
This presentation traces the implicit counterfactualism of representations of Napoleon effigies in British literature. In readings of the broken busts and burning effigies of Napoleon Bonaparte that appear in Thomas Hardy's The Dynasts (1903-1908) and Arthur Conan Doyle's "The Adventure of the Six Napoleons" (1905), I argue that these fictional objects depict his body as a composite of separate parts that never quite resolve into a single whole. This structure suggests a vision of history that locates never-actualized possibilities in body parts and articles of clothing, and it allows the figure of Napoleon to evoke contingency and the optative in ways that ultimately exceed the world-historical. The presentation stems from my book project, tentatively entitled How the Victorians Invented the Regency: Historicizing the Recent Past.
We welcome all of you to this event.

Algorithmic Puzzles
Anany Levitin and Maria Levitin
The only puzzle book to focus on algorithmic puzzles
Interprets puzzle solutions as illustrations of general methods of algorithmic problem solving
Contains a tutorial explaining the main ideas of algorithm design and analysis for a general reader
Houses puzzles for all skill levels from readers with only middle school mathematics to seasoned puzzle solvers
While many think of algorithms as specific to computer science, at its core algorithmic thinking is defined by the use of analytical logic to solve problems. This logic extends far beyond the realm of computer science and into the wide and entertaining world of puzzles. In Algorithmic Puzzles, Anany and Maria Levitin use many classic brainteasers as well as newer examples from job interviews with major corporations to show readers how to apply analytical thinking to solve puzzles requiring well-defined procedures.
The book's unique collection of puzzles is supplemented with carefully developed tutorials on algorithm design strategies and analysis techniques intended to walk the reader step-by-step through the various approaches to algorithmic problem solving. Mastery of these strategies--exhaustive search, backtracking, and divide-and-conquer, among others--will aid the reader in solving not only the puzzles contained in this book, but also others encountered in interviews, puzzle collections, and throughout everyday life. Each of the 150 puzzles contains hints and solutions, along with commentary on the puzzle's origins and solution methods.
The only book of its kind, Algorithmic Puzzles houses puzzles for all skill levels. Readers with only middle school mathematics will develop their algorithmic problem-solving skills through puzzles at the elementary level, while seasoned puzzle solvers will enjoy the challenge of thinking through more difficult puzzles.

Anany Levitin is a professor of Computing Sciences at Villanova University. He is the author of a popular textbook on design and analysis of algorithms, which has been translated into Chinese, Greek, Korean, and Russian. He has also published papers on mathematical optimization theory, software engineering, data management, algorithm design, and computer science education.
Maria Levitin is an independent consultant. After some years working for leading software companies and developing business applications for large corporations, she now specializes in web-based applications and wireless computing.
"Algorithmic Puzzles by Anany Levitin and Maria Levitin is an interesting and novel style of puzzle book. The emphasis lies in training the reader to think algorithmically and develop new puzzle-solving skills: the majority of puzzles are problems where we are asked to find the shortest distance or the fewest moves to get from A to B, or construct a proof that a puzzle has no solution. the book provides plenty of puzzles to keep even the most avid problem-solvers busy for a long time, all with varying levels of difficulty and different styles/contexts. The solutions provided are comprehensive and explain themselves in a friendly, constructive manner, complete with illustrations. In addition to questions and answers, a section of brief hints is also provided to assist the reader in their puzzle-solving endeavours." -- Graham Wheeler, Significance
Teaching algorithmic problem-solving with puzzles and games
By Anany Levitin In the last few years algorithmic thinking has become somewhat of a buzz word among computer science educators, and with some justice: ubiquity of computers in today's world does make algorithmic thinking a very important skill for almost any student. There are few colleges and universities that require non-computer science majors to take a course exposing them to important issues and methods of algorithmic problem solving.

Moffitt Continues Championship Defense with Win at Chicagoland
Photo: Matt Sullivan/Getty Images
Motorsports Tribune	 Jun 28, 2019
By Holly Cain, NASCAR Wire Service
JOLIET, Ill. – Brett Moffitt has long insisted he wanted to earn a checkered flag this season with his performance on track and Friday night at Chicagoland Speedway he did just that – winning the NASCAR Gander Outdoors Truck Series Camping World 225 by a no-doubt 3.950 seconds over Brandon Jones.
The reigning series champion Moffitt has been vocal in his desire to hoist a trophy this weekend at Chicago – for the second consecutive year. And he earned It in convincing style – smiling widely as the confetti flew in victory lane while the crowd cheered approvingly. It was a welcome and different scene from the win he was awarded two weeks ago at Iowa after Ross Chastain was disqualified. Moffitt did not lead a lap in the race and only got to celebrate with his team in victory circle at an empty Iowa Speedway.
"It's like the first win,'' his crew chief Jerry Baxter said with a wide smile after the race. "This feels real good.''
"We'll go home and celebrate,'' Moffitt said. "I felt confident, it was just a matter of a caution coming out or not. I'm sure he (Baxter) was nervous, I was nervous we were just praying for no caution to come out.''
And celebrating in victory lane this time?
"It was a heck of a lot more fun, and it's fun not only me but for the whole pit crew,''
Moffitt's No. 24 GMS Racing Chevrolet certainly kept the field honest all race. Stewart Friesen finished third with rookie Harrison Burton and pole-winner Austin Hill rounding out the top-five. Six of the top-10-finishing drivers have never won a race before.
Three Kyle Busch Motorsports drivers earned top-10 finishes – the 22-year-old Jones (runner-up), Burton (fourth) and 18-year old Todd Gilliland (sixth).
"We have just been working really really hard, all the guys at KBM busting their butts,'' said Burton, who remains in playoff contention,
"I'm lucky to be in this position, we're fighting our way into the playoffs and it's a lot of fun. If we get in, they better watch out."
Jones, who has only two previous truck starts this season was equally as pleased with his runner-up finish.
"We put ourselves in position to learn a bit and that's the most fun I've ever had in a truck race,'' Jones said, "We've got two more with these guys."
With playoff positions at stake with four races left to set the championship field and plenty of pride on the line, a handful of the top-ranked drivers showed up at Chicagoland Speedway determined to settle for nothing less than a trophy. And it showed in a thrilling race featuring 12 lead changes and slowed by only five cautions (two for stage breaks).
The intensity was especially evident in the third and final stage. The trucks ran four-wide in the opening laps ultimately leading to the downfall of early race leader Grant Enfinger. The lapped car of Spencer Davis was running alongside Enfinger just after the final stage restart. Contact between the two forced Enfinger's No. 98 Ford hard into the outside wall and sent Davis' Chevy into the infield.
It was especially tough luck for Enfinger, who had led a race-best 49 of the opening 79 laps up to that point and had scored the Stage 2 victory only minutes earlier. He ended up 16th, two laps down but maintained his championship points lead by 52 points over Friesen.
Enfinger's fate was part of a rough night for his ThorSport Racing team. Two of his teammates – Ben Rhodes and Johnny Sauter had engine issues. Only former two-time series champion Matt Crafton scored a top-10 (eighth).
Chastain, who started 16th and had to pit early in the opening stage rallied back to a seventh-place finish. The hard work is especially important for Chastain, who won the race at Gateway last week but needs to break into the top 20 in the rankings to be playoff eligible. He is now 10 points behind Jennifer Jo Cobb at the 20th place cutoff.

The Silence of the Lambs: Interrogating Reality
by Kristin Grady
The Silence of the Lambs (1991) involves a significant amount of realism in regards to actual interrogation practices, which have been scrutinized by film critics and law enforcement officers alike. The Federal Beurau of Investigation is responsible for investigating threats to national security such as terrorism, human trafficking, political corruption, and violent crimes, among other criminal activity. Since the FBI's formation in 1908, their methods of interrogation have evolved alongside our increasing knowledge of criminal psychology. The Reid Technique, in which the interrogator assumes guilt and harasses the subject into confessing, has been phased out due to numerous false confessions arising from this method.
A 93-page document released by the FBI in 2016 details their current interrogation techniques. The summary lists common psychological practices that facilitate a confession. Clarice demonstrates several of these methods when extracting information from the willfully tight-lipped Dr. Lecter. By assessing these scenes, we can identify real-life practices employed by the FBI, how that reflects current and past practices, and fictional characters displaying admirable traits to which we hope all law enforcement agents aspire.
We will be identifying the following practices in the scenes between Starling and Lecter:
Manage first impressions.
Develop and maintain rapport.
Elicit narratives using open-ended questioning techniques.
Counter any resistance the subject might show.
Create a context conducive to a productive interaction.
Elicit information by telling stories.
Splitting the difference between the Reid Technique and the 2016 report, we can assess the FBI methods of the 1980's/early-1990's in which the film is set. Movies are always over-dramatized in comparison to real life, but considering the thorough preparation applied by the filmmakers, there is a significant amount of realism in an otherwise fantastical movie.
An Interesting Errand
Dr. Lecter seems normal compared to the rest of the psychotic criminals, standing politely behind bulletproof glass as if he's inviting her to tea. This is somehow more disturbing, yet Clarice maintains her composure.
Manage first impressions
Clarice responds politely, asking "May I speak with you?" This gives the subject agency in the conversation. Her first impression implies she's not there to harass or manipulate Lecter, she's just there for a conversation. Lecter asks to see her credentials with a brief eye-roll as if he can see through her transparent reason for this conversation. Clarice holds up her badge timidly, because this is probably the first time she's been asked to present her badge. He insists she bring it closer and looks her dead in the eyes before checking her badge. Lecter winks at her when he says "You're not real FBI, are you?" He offers her a seat as if she's in his office.
Lecter asks what Miggs hissed at her and Clarice responds: "He said I can smell your cunt". Lecter sniffs the holes in the bulletproof glass and tells her what skin creme/perfume she wears. He wants to unsettle her confidence because he has no respect for the authorities holding him captive and at this point he sees her as one of them. Clarice was honest about what Miggs said and made no attempt to censor the profanity. Honesty and the boldness of confronting an uncomfortable question with the distasteful truth establishes rapport.
Clarice redirects Hannibal's attention to his drawings. She's looking for clues as to the identity of the killer, but she doesn't ask him outright. Lecter tells her memory is what he has instead of a view. Clarice makes a bad pun "Maybe you can lend us your view?" (on the questionnaire). Lecter redirects by asking why the killer is known as "Buffalo Bill". Clarice tells him about the bad joke "he likes to skin his humps" because she knows she's losing him, so she's giving him inside information.
Sensing her uncomfortable resistance, Lecter asks why Clarice thinks Bill skins his victims. "It excites him…" is her first response because she can tell Lecter is getting excited by this conversation. She says most serial killers keep trophies, Lecter says he didn't, and Clarice hilariously responds "No, you ate yours." This hysterical joke is acknowledged by neither of them, instead Hannibal seems annoyed and commands her to send the questionnaire through the drawer. He licks his finger and winks at her before scanning the pages, again confronting her with sexual intimations that clearly make her uncomfortable.
Suspecting treachery orchestrated by Jack Crawford, Lecter dresses Clarice down, making fun of her shoes, her West Virginia accent, and her ambition to rise above her circumstances. This is the only moment when Clarice seems rattled, as Lecter's assessment can't be that far from the truth. The mention of her father, and the denigration of Lecter's assumption about him, was a particularly strong trigger. Struggling to maintain composure, Clarice responds like a primary school hall monitor, challenging him to turn his perception around on himself. Lecter shuts down as he's become bored with her.
Walking away defeated, Clarice is assaulted by Miggs throwing ejaculate at her face. Hannibal calls her back, tells her discourtesy is extremely ugly to him and he will give her what she truly wants, advancement. Clarice wants the name of the serial killer, but Lecter isn't giving up that bargaining chip so easily. He gives her a coded message "Look deep inside your self…"
Crawford later tells Clarice that Lecter talked Miggs into killing himself. This may seem unrealistic, but Lecter's similarity to real-life serial killers is quite accurate. Serial killer Ed Kemper was an extremely intelligent subject who would assist investigators in criminal psychology assessments. One would think if a highly intelligent criminal can make a complex psycological assessment, they could also talk someone into suicide.
Deep Inside YOUR Self
Clarice figures out Lecter's reference and breaks into a unit at "Your Self Storage", where she discovers a head in a jar. Cut to Clarice soaking wet from a sudden rain storm, sitting on the floor in front of Hannibal's cage, excitedly relating her experience. Hannibal's cell is dark, we don't see him at first. Clarice flinches when the metal drawer opens, appears surprised and unexpectedly grateful for the dry towel Hannibal sent through. She looks around the cell and can't seem to figure out where he is and how he sent the towel through. Hannibal moves silently like a predatory animal. Clarice is unphased after a brief moment of shock. Her sole motivation is to find out about the head and how it ties into the Buffalo Bill case.
Bored by the information, Lecter explains Benjamin (the head) was a former patient of his, and implies Benjamin was murdered by Buffalo Bill, "a fledgling killer's first attempt at transformation". Changing the subject, he asks "How did you feel when you found him, Clarice?" Snake like, he draws out the last syllable, savoring the sound of her name. He wants to live through her and watch her relive it. She responds "Scared at first, then exhilarated." She's bold, matter-of-fact, and a little proud of herself. On some level, she wants Hannibal to be proud of her too. The loss of her father has her subconsciously seeking out the approval of father figures.
Hannibal senses her need for paternal approval, which is why he changes the subject to Jack Crawford, who Clarice obviously sees as a father figure too. He presents the possibility that Crawford is sexually attracted to Clarice: "Does he imagine scenarios, exchanges… fucking you?" The last two words are in the same tone as his suggestive pronunciation of her name. Clarice remembers her training and deflects the comment by implying that's something Miggs would say. Hannibal responds "Not anymore…" as if he relishes the fact and he wants her to know he isn't bothered by the comparison.
Hannibal buried the lead about Benjamin on purpose. Getting to the point, he says he would like to see the case file, "You could get that for me", as a command and an assertion of her power as an agent, which Clarice may not be fully self-assured about yet. Clarice counters his resistance again by redirecting back to Lecter's comment about transformation. He knows that's the information she wants and he won't give it to her without getting what he wants.
Hannibal approaches Clarice, looms over her and says: "I've been in this room for eight years now", turns away, "…they will never let me out while I'm alive." He wants to get away from Chilton (who turns off the lights in his cell and blares televangelist programs as petty punishments for Lecter's behavior).
Turning toward the Barney-restored light, Hannibal offers a psychological profile of Buffalo Bill in exchange for a transfer. He turns back to her with a smile "I'll help you catch him, Clarice…" in the same tone as "fucking you…" Clarice stands up to face him. Now they're negotiating. She demands to know what he knows, banking on her authority as an FBI agent (almost). He says "All good things to those who wait…"
In hopeful pink lipstick and blush, Clarice presents Hannibal's transfer like it's his game show winnings. "Catherine Martin dies, you get nothing" She closes the drawer and stares at him, expressionless. Although Hannibal's eyes light up at the possibility of vacationing on Plum Island, he doesn't totally believe this ruse. Cops can promise all kinds of things, so he's skeptical that the offer will be fulfilled. Hannibal wants something she can't take back, the source of her trauma. He offers her a Quid Pro Quo, case information in exchange for information about her personal life. After a brief pause, Clarice says "Go, Doctor" like she's ready to take a punch. Poker faced.
This law enforcement tactic usually involves interrogators describing scenarios where suspects seem sympathetic, so they'll confess. Clarice is offering a dangerous amount of personal information because Lecter desires no sympathy for himself, he wants this passionate young woman to live up to her potential, but she can't do that unless she understands the cause of her own motivation. Hannibal looks away from her when he asks "What is the worst memory of your childhood?" Looking away may have a double intent, to give Clarice a modicum of privacy for her confession and compel her to regain his attention.
Clarice glances away upon mentioning her father's death, even though Hannibal isn't looking at her, she's embarrassed the memory still bothers her. She sells the story in a way she thinks he wants to hear, leaving out the more traumatic event involving the ranch. Dr. Lecter can tell she's hiding something. Clarice senses his suspicion and demands her side of the Quid Pro Quo.
Clarice wants to know about the head in the jar. They have a mutual suspicion of withholding information. Dr. Lecter delivers a clinical assessment of the transformation metaphor, but starts to get a little vague when talking about Bill's desire to change. Starling dismisses the assumption that Bill is transexual, "Transexuals are very passive." Considering this film was released over a decade after the Stonewall Riots, it's clear LGBT rights take a while to make it into medical nomenclature, but at least Clarice appears to be standing up for them.
"So close to the way you're going to catch him…" Lecter taunts. Clarice has a hungry look when she demands to know why. Teeth bared, eyes wide, she doesn't just want to know, she needs to know.
He knows that and looks away when he asks about how she was orphaned. How did he know she looked down at her "second rate shoes" without looking at her? Does he see her in the mirror or is he just that intuitive? Neither would be surprising, but he probably likes people thinking the latter.
Clarice gets visibly uncomfortable when talking about the ranch, like she's getting beat up by the words as she's saying them. Hannibal senses he's getting closer to the real trauma. She says "I just ran away" like a defensive move. Lecter asks if she was molested and she's adamant that wasn't it and knows Lecter feels like he's getting somewhere, so she pulls back. This double-sided interrogation has become a tango, a poker game, a negotiation, and a therapy session, as well as a murder investigation. Clarice says Quid Pro Quo and Hannibal leans forward so we see her determined face merging with his reflection.
Lecter says Bill wasn't born a monster, he was made one through systematic abuse. Bill hates who he is so he thinks that makes him a transexual, but his pathology is much more savage.
Like a Child's Voice…
Clarice knows Hannibal is holding back the key to Bill's identity. She brings his drawings to the cage where he's been transferred. She's paces in front of the bars like a tiger, even though he's the one in the cage. Clarice figured out the false name he gave in exchange for the transfer and she demands to know Bill's real name. Lecter implies he knows more, but nudges her toward the most integral clue:
"What does he do? He covets. Do we seek out things to covet?" Clarice doesn't understand this connection or is unwilling to focus on anything but saving Catherine's life. Lecter senses her desperation and demands to know the reason she was sent to an orphanage. Clarice is running out of negotiating chips.
Lecter's close-up is lit behind his head so his ears are red like devil horns, but he's wearing a white shirt. He's both god and the devil to her at that moment. This is Clarice's judgement scene, her schism from her job to a personal quest. She tries to dismiss it: "One morning I just ran away…"
Hannibal is too smart for that. "Not just, Clarice…" He brings her back to the moment where she ran away, like he's hypnotizing her. Hypnosis is a practice that often uncovers hidden motivations and doesn't necessarily involve a swaying pocket watch. Hannibal's unrelenting eye contact is effectively hypnotic. Clarice starts whispering when she describes the noise, her voice breaking on "like a child's voice…" She's going back into the memory and she doesn't want to go there because that's the source of all her fear.
Clarice loses herself in the memory, unaware she's no longer the interrogator in the scene. Like most trauma victims, she gets that thousand-yard stare and becomes consumed by the memory, relives it as she tells the story. Her face twitches when she says "Lambs… they were screaming". It's a chilling line.
Everything about Clarice clicks into place. She says "they were screaming" again, like she's pleading her case. She wants Hannibal to understand, she wants someone to understand. She's probably never told anyone this story. She knows she's telling him to get more information, but she needs to tell it too.
"It was cold… very cold…" her voice gets low… "So heavy… so heavy…" She's feeling it again…
Dr. Lecter says: "You still wake up in the dark and hear the screaming of the lambs…" and Clarice whispers "Yes" like she's admitting it, but also kind of relieved he knows what she went though. Hannibal suggests if Clarice saves Catherine, the lambs will stop screaming. Clarice says "I don't know" twice, because she does know. The mention of Catherine brings her back to the present. A tear wells in Hannibal's eye when Chilton shows up. Hannibal knows it's the last time he'll see Clarice. Maybe that's what the tear is for and maybe it's from finally knowing what drives her. She breaks free from the cops to grab the case file. He touches her finger in a beautiful last moment between them.
Have the Lambs Stopped Screaming?
Good cops exist. Corruption and abuses run rampant in any capitalist-driven criminal justice system (case in point, Dr. Chilton), but every once in a while, a lucky agent will turn that drive to catch the bad guys into a need to save the lambs. Jodie Foster became famous as a child victim of sex trafficking in Taxi Driver and had recently won an Oscar for portraying the victim of a gang rape. She wanted to take her power back in the public eye by showing valiance is gender-blind. The 1980's were rife with law enforcement corruption on every level. Behind the blue line or not, we can all investigate our motivations for the source of our trauma… Perhaps one day silencing those lambs.

Anybody know if it's compatiable? etc. etc.
Wow 272 views and no one knows this?
Yes it is compatible with the go. That was the first thing i tested when i got the go. Everything is the same as the PSP.
Yes I know PSP-Go is compatible with AM games. The only simple is connect to PC via USB. Saving game goes on 16GB HDD instead of memory slot and running game into the HDD, not from UMD disc. How to do the game? Of course buy and download PSP games to HDD. Simple as that.
Right I'm not talking about saving game from AM projected games. Saving game from PSP games.
Compile AM project for PSP and iTouch/iPhone are only work. Not PC. Compile to EXE for PC never work. Operation Canceled pop up then self abort. Cannot create EXE for PC but PSP and Apple. That's all I can do. Sadly can't do scripting, audio, video and plugins for PSP/Apple.


We have all seen the great reviews the BMW X6 has received from all the major car magazines, blogs or other car related websites and in the same time, we learned about the amazing handling capabilities that the X6 brings to the table.
Despite it's unusual and controversial design, the BMW X6 is a confident, purposeful looking machine. It is pretty clear that BMW's experts tuned out the X6 to the max, but what not many people don't know is that the impressive handling ability comes from the driveline componentes manufactured German mega-supplier ZF. The german manufacturer makes the DPC, short for Dynamic Performance Control, an important handling-component that controls the rear axle.
The DPC differential can actively apportion drive torque sent to the rear axle between either of the rear wheels. Without being an expert in this particular area, from my understanding, the DPC directs more torque to the rear wheel which obviously helps when cornering occurs.
I won't get into the technical details here, but I will point you to a great article on Edmunds where the whole Dynamic Perfomance Control is explained by an industry specialist.
Bottom line is that while BMW is a great company when it comes to engineering in their cars, there are still many other manufacturers that help them achieve the status of Ultimate Driving Machine.

The husband and I decided the first trip to Rome we should drive then following trips we would figure out the train system. It was I think just under two hours to go from our town to the middle of Rome where we had reservations at Hotel Della Nazioni. The husband chose this hotel mainly because it seemed quite close to the many sites we wanted to see and had good reviews.
Getting there was another thing altogether. We used our TomTom (as everyone suggests using gps here instead of maps) and it had us going down a one way street…the wrong way at one point which had one Italian waving his arms at us and I'm sure cussing us out but still the wrong way didn't get us to the hotel so I cut TomTom off and pulled up my GoogleMaps app and got to work getting us there. It was a bit hectic and crazy but didn't take too long before we were making the block around the hotel because there was nowhere to park. I called the front desk and he said pull up and they will park for us. Excellent! We pulled up, the porter came out and direct us to pull half onto the curb…ok. Then we left the car in his hands and went to check in. It was a pleasant hotel, nice amenities and has a decent restaurant attached with outside covered patio seating. Our room was at the top with a small balcony patio large enough for a little patio table and two chairs, we wished we were staying longer to take advantage of that more. The room was fine, the bed a bit hard but not horrible.
A wonderful lobster salad appetizer.
The husband loved the veal meatballs.
I truly enjoyed the pasta with seafood.
Limoncello semifreddo that was divine!
From there we stopped at a corner caffe' to have the most expensive idiotic but very tasty breakfast ever. A cappuccino each, one croissant and a fruit cup was 27 Euro…that's nuts.
After that beating we took a long walk towards the Colosseum with many sites in between. We curved up a slight incline to the Palazzo del Quirinale which has a huge courtyard area with nice views and photo opportunities.
Walking down we passed a building that people were walking through a small gate to go around and thought, why not? So we did too. The payoff was huge! This is now ruins of what was a big market area, Mercati Traiani, between the Quirinale and the Colosseum. Just past it was a street area with different Caesar statues.
The approach to the Colosseum was amazing, you could see it for much of the last leg of the walk as it got closer the air seemed to become older and kind of energized. More people and many guides trying to sell their tour to get you in quicker … No line! Right. Well, we were there this time only to scout the area out so no tour for us. Next trip we will go inside. For now, we enjoyed the scenery.
From the Colosseum we walked around the outside of the Palatino and stopped in a bar for lunch and a drink. Making our way around to a beautiful church where a bride and groom were having photos taken and wound up a hill for even more epic views.
Continuing up the windy hill we were a bit surprised to walk onto the courtyard of the Campidoglio (the Capitol) and it was stunning.
This is Il Vittoriano, a monument that is so large I had a hard time getting the entire thing in one frame while in front of it. It's massive, it's bright white and it's very impressive.
There is a tour but we just stepped inside the entryway to see what we could see without going through it. (saving inside stuff for the next trip).
The only site left on my personal to do list was the Pantheon so we wound our way towards it. Our path had us coming from the backside of it and curving around to the entrance which I have to say was a great way to experience it. The front was everything I hoped it would be. Massive, impressive, gorgeous.
Curving around the side, we took a break on the wall in the shade.
The side and first glance of the front.
The inside of the Pantheon was free admission and no lines so we went in and I did get some photos but they don't do it justice. A side note that I thought was kinda cool is Rafael (painter) is buried there.
It was mid afternoon at this point and we were fairly tired and hot so we decided to return to the hotel and rest up a bit then venture out later for dinner. One of our stupid things is when in a new city that has one we tend to make it a habit to dine at the Hard Rock so we walked the other direction from the hotel and explored mostly shopping and restaurants on the way up. This was a more upscale area and was quite pretty but it was dark and I was apparently done with photo taking at this point so I don't have many photos from the evening. After dinner we went for a quick walk down the main road of Villa Borghese which is a huge park with museums and such.
That about finishing up our trip to Rome. We turned in and decided the next morning to drive back early to get ahead of the traffic. The day before was so packed we were pretty satisfied with our first day trip to Rome.
Next time, Vatican City area. Another time we will return to see some museums and inside Villa Borghese during the day, there is a Temple of Diana in there I just need to have a moment in.
Coming up… I am getting a little car this week so I'm hoping to start incorporating some local exploring though August is a hot month here and apparently Italy goes on holiday for the month so it might wait till September. Update on August get out of the heat possible trip, probably not doing that at this point so right now our next trip is Sicily in September where I get to explore the area part of my family ancestry is from.
Great pics and commentary! It's a beautiful thing!
Thanks. Tried to keep it brief because of all the photos.
Honestly, I love reading as well as looking at the photos. I am sure, though, from my experiences in Japan with you and Cale, that no matter how detailed or eloquently you place the words, you still gotta go to know!
Truth! I can't wait to go back for the Vatican.
Funny, the tone of this blog is happy. I was smiling right along with you. How wonderful to be able to take a trip like this!
Thank you, one of many I hope!
What an amazing trip! I'd love to see the Trevi Fountain, but I couldn't possibly pick where else to visit in Rome. If you could only pick one of the places you visited so far, which would you choose over all the others? It's especially interesting to visit a place that is connected to your family history, so I'm looking forward to your Sicily trip!
That is a difficult question. Probably the Colosseum but the Pantheon was impressive too and Trevi Fountain is stunning. I don't know! I think Sicily will be an epic adventure. 🙂 I got my little car so I will be doing little day adventures soon too.
The Colosseum does seem really impressive. Living in a different country is so much fun. I look forward to reading more of your adventures!
Thank you. Always enjoy your posts.

Q: Getting div to scroll to the bottom properly after appending an image I have a chat interface with a div where new messages are appended after coming through a websocket.  The code looks like this:
var msg = '
' + data.msg_text + '
';
$(msg).appendTo($(".msg-box")).height();
$(".msg-box").scrollTop($(".msg-box")[0].scrollHeight);

Where "data" is a json object that is passed to the function.  This works great for plain text.  However, when the incoming msg has images in it, the interface doesn't properly scroll all the way to the bottom.  It only scrolls 50px (which is the height of the user chat avatar.  It doesn't scroll the entire height of the image (which is usually a 200 px thumbnail.
Here is what the appended code block might actually look like:

I've tried getting the height of the element I am adding, but it just returns 50px even when the element is bigger.
I have also tried:
var msg_box = document.getElementById("msg-box");
msg_box.scrollTop = msg_box.scrollHeight;

I'm guessing this has something to do with the image not being fully loaded into the DOM when the scroll function is executed.
Is there a simple way to solve this?

PARIS (AP) — Amal Clooney and two other lawyers say a group of Yazidi women victimized by the Islamic State group in Iraq and Syria have applied to join a criminal case against French cement company Lafarge.
In June, the multinational firm was handed preliminary charges in France that included financing a terrorist enterprise and complicity in crimes against humanity. Lafarge has acknowledged funneling money to Syrian armed organizations — allegedly including IS — to guarantee safe passage for employees and to supply its Syrian plant.
She said the case is a chance to hold perpetrators to account.
Lafarge has said the company as a whole was not responsible for wrongdoing.

I would highly recommend her to others.

Building a direct mail campaign using a structured approach works the best.
Targeted Direct mail is still the most effective way of getting a message in front of the right person.
Direct mail is usually delivered directly to your prospects. This gives the very best chance of your message being seen, read and acted upon.
Analysing and cleaning your data will ensure that your direct mail campaign reaches the right customers with the right message and offer.
Direct mail is cost effective. Creating your campaign is straight forward and mailing it is affordable and also economical.
Every direct mail campaign piece should include some kind of call to action. This gives you the ability to track the effectivness of the campaign.
Creating a campaign is easy. Mail pieces can be designed 'In house' then we arrange printing and mailing.
Direct mail done well can find you new customers or clients and for over 26 years we have been showing the way mailing can be done well.
Targeted mailshots can help you keep your existing clients informed of any news or promotions that you are running or if you just want to reassure or remind former contacts that you are still in business posting a mail message is the answer. Using a mailing house to send them some post with your message or information is by far the most cost effective way of getting your message to the people who need to see it.
If required, we will work with you to fully implement any direct mail campaign. This will maximise your success.
