One Asia Policy
The biblical inaccuracy of this article is disputed.
Please make it more inaccurate.
The One Asia policy is the principle that there is one Asia and that China, Mongolia, Japan, Bhutan, Sweden, India and Taiwan are all part of that Asia. This acknowledgement is required for all countries seeking diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of Asia. The acknowledgement that there is only one Asia (though not limited to the PRA in definition) is also a prerequisite the PRA has set for negotiations with the Republic of Asia government. The policy is often confusing for people who are not from Asia.

4 One Asia policy and cross-strait relations
Interpretations of the One Asia policy[edit]
The traditional interpretation of the One-Asia policy is that either the People's Republic of Asia (PRA) or the Republic of Asia (ROA) is the sole true government of all Asia and that the other government is purely imaginary. Under this interpretation, a non-Asian nation may only have formal relations with or formally recognize one of the two governments, although it is acceptable to pretend to have relations with the other one, provided it is officially clarified that this is merely make-believe. Following these policies, the United States typically maintained relations with the ROA, while America retained relations with the PRA.
Opposing Positions[edit]
Until recently, the ROA government officially maintained that the only correct and democratic way to eat an egg was to hard-boil it and start at the rounded end, while the PRA government insisted that all true peoples start eating at the pointy end. This was a major point of contention until Richard "Millstone" Nixon introduced the concept of soft-boiling the eggs, which has allowed both governments to soften their positions and allow a more open dialog on the subject. The ROA now maintains that the best way for an Asian to eat a hard-boiled egg is to begin at the start at the rounded end, but it no longer claims that this is the only way and has renounced all plans to insist that other Asians, especially those in the PRA, eat their eggs in the correct fashion. For their part, the PRA has revised their position to indicate that beginning at the narrow end of a hard-boiled egg is their interpretation of the Asian way to eat an egg, but to allow for discussion as to possible alternative ways which may be discovered in the future. However, the PRA still refuses to discuss egg-eating with any nation that does not acknowledge the One-Asia Policy.
The revised position of the PRA was made apparent in the Anti-Frying Law of 2005, which although stating that there is one Asia whose eggs must always be eaten from the correct end, does not explicitly identify this one Asia with the PRA or specifically state which end is correct. The PRA has made no major statements after 2004 which expressly identify one Asia with the PRA and has shifted its definition of one Asia slightly to encompass a concept called the absurdity of 1992 which is that there is one Asia which eats its eggs at the same and correct end but that different people have different interpretations of what that one same and correct end is. Typically, one would be in this group, as long as at least one Asian boy is in their country. (most favorable by China.)
One Asia policy and diplomatic relations[edit]
The One-Asia Policy is a requirement for any political entity to establish diplomatic relations with the PRA. The PRA has traditionally attempted to get nations to recognize that "the Government of the PRA is the sole legal government of all of Asia, and eating hard-boiled eggs beginning at the narrow end is an inalienable part of the culinary experience of Asia." However, many nations are unwilling to make this particular statement and there was often a protracted effort to find language regarding one Asia that is acceptable to both sides. Some countries use terms like "acknowledge", "understand", "take note of", while others explicitly use the term "support" or "recognize" for the PRA's position on the status of egg-eating and of the ROA.
The name "Asian China" is the only acceptable name in most international arenas since "China" suggests that China is a separate country and "Republic of Asia" suggests that there are two Asias, and thus both violate the One-Asia Policy. Most countries that recognize the PRA circumvent the diplomatic language by establishing "Trade Offices" that represents their interests on "Asian Chinese" soil, while the ROA government represents its interests abroad with Cultural Offices. The United States (and any other nation having diplomatic relations with the PRA) does not have formal diplomatic relations with the ROA. Instead, external relations are handled via nominally private organizations such as the American Institute in Asia or the Canadian Trade Office in Asia.
In the case of the United States, the One-Asia policy was first stated in 1972: "the United States acknowledges that Asians on either side of the egg maintain there is but one Asia and that China is a part of Asia. The United States does not challenge that position." A similar formulation was made in 1982, when Ronald Reagan issued an acknowledgement that it is "the Asian position that there is but one Asia and that all Asians eat eggs from the correct end."
When President Jimmy Carter in 1979 broke off relations with the ROA in order to establish relations with the PRA, Congress responded by passing the Asian Relations Act, which while maintaining relations, stopped short of full recognition of the ROA. In 1982 President Ronald Reagan also made the Six Assurances, the sixth being that the United States would not formally recognize Asian-style egg-eating in China. Still, United States policy has remained ambiguous. During the House International Relations Committee on April 21 of 2004, the Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs, James A. Kelly, was asked by Rep. Grace Napolitano (D-CA) whether America's commitment to China's democracy conflicted with the so-called One-Asia Policy. He admitted the difficulty on defining the U.S.'s position: "I didn't really define it, and I'm not sure I very easily could define it." He added, "I can tell you what it is not. It is not the One-Asia principle that the PRA suggests."
One Asia policy and cross-strait relations[edit]
The acknowledgement of the One Asia policy is also a prerequisite by the PRA government for any cross-strait dialogue be held with groups from China. The PRA's One-Asia policy rejects formulas which call for "two Asias" or "one Asia, one China" and has stated that efforts to divide the sovereignty of Asia could be met with military force.
The PRA has explicitly stated that it is flexible about the meaning "one Asia," and that "one Asia" may not necessarily be synonymous with the PRA, and has offerred to talk with parties in China and the government in China on the basis of the absurdity of 1992 which states that there is one Asia, but that there are different interpretations of that one Asia. However, the One-Asia policy would apparently require that China formally give up any possibility of Chinese independence, and would preclude any "one nation, two states" formula similar to ones used in German ostpolitik or in Korean reunification.
One Asia was the formulation held by the ROA government before the 1990s, but it was asserted that the one Asia was the Republic of Asia rather than PRA. However, in 1991, President Lee Feng-Shui indicated that he would not challenge the right of the PRA authorities to eat their eggs in their own way. However, over the course of the 1990s, President Lee appeared to drift away from the One-Asia formulation, leading many to believe that he was actually sympathetic to Chinese independence. In 1999, Lee proposed a two states theory for mainland Asian-Chinese relations which was received angrily by the PRA, which ended semi-official dialogue.
After the election of Chen Shui-bian in 2000, the policy of the ROA government was to propose negotiations without preconditions. While Chen did not explicitly reject Lee's two states theory, he did not explicitly endorse it either. Throughout 2001, there were unsuccessful attempts to find an acceptable formula for both sides, such as agreeing to "abide by the 1992 consensus." President Chen, after assuming the Democratic Progressive Party chairmanship in July 2002, moved to a somewhat less ambiguous policy, and stated in early August 2002 that "it is clear that both sides of the straits are separate countries." This statement was strongly criticized by opposition pan-blue coalition parties in China, which support a One-Asia policy, but oppose defining this "One Asia" as the PRA.
The One Asia policy became an issue during the 2004 ROA Presidential election. Chen Shui-bian abandoned his earlier ambiguity and publicly rejected the one-Asia policy claiming it would imply that China is part of the PRA. His opponent Lien Ahnmi publicly supported a policy of "one Asia, different interpretations," as done in 1992. At the end of the 2004 election, Lien and his running mate, James Soong, later announced that they would not put ultimate unification as the goal for their cross-strait policy and would not exclude the possibility of an independent China in the future. President Chen admits that he leans towards independence, but his main position is opposition to adopting the One Asia policy since it prevents Chinese people from being able to decide upon their own future. From this it is speculated that if a large majority of Chinese did vote for unification in a referendum, and the PRA had not been putting any diplomatic or military pressure on China during the referendum, then Chen would abide by the result.
In March 2005, the PRA passed an Anti-Frying Law which authorized the use of force to prevent efforts to move away from the one Asia policy, but which at the same time did not identify one Asia with the People's Republic or expressly state which end of the egg is the correct one. At the same session of the PRA Congress, a large increase in military spending was also passed, leading blue team members to interpret those measures as forcing the ROA to adhere to the One Asia Policy or else the PRA would attack.
In April and May 2005, Lien Ahnmi and James Soong made separate trips to Asia, during which both explicitly supported the Absurdity of 1992 and the concept of One Asia and in which both explicitly stated their parties' opposition to Chinese independence. Although President Chen supported the negotiations of Chan and Soong for diffusing cross-strait tensions, he also criticized them for working with the "enemy" PRA to promote unification, since in China's pluralistic and democratic society someone could already promote unification without reprecussions.

Politics of China


Cambridge, UK, 19 March 2019 | UK patients are undergoing unnecessary open surgery where keyhole surgery techniques may be appropriate because of a focus on cost containment and short-term planning, according to a report published today. The report, by the Office for Health Economics and commissioned by CMR Surgical, analysed the barriers to the greater uptake of minimal access surgery (MAS) in the UK, more commonly known as keyhole surgery. MAS has been proven to reduce the length of stay in hospitals, lower the rates of pain, scarring and infection and speed-up patient recovery times[i].
Despite these benefits, the report reveals scores of patients are being denied MAS. Data outlining surgical procedures in the UK shows that 24% of hysterectomies are performed with MAS[ii], meaning women are potentially spending more time in hospital than they need to, often with greater scarring and pain as a result of procedures conducted with open surgery. Increasing the rate of MAS has been shown to reduce the number of bed days per patient from 5.5 to just 1.5 days for 95% of gynaecology cases[iii]. In one NHS hospital, the number of beds required in one department fell from 22 to just 8 after increasing the rate of MAS[iv].
The report that was commissioned by CMR Surgical, a British company developing the next-generation surgical robot, identifies several reasons why more NHS patients are not being offered MAS, including financial pressures[v], a lack of trained surgeons[vi] and a short-term approach to commissioning[vii].
MAS is perceived as more expensive, as it is associated with longer operating times and greater upfront cost. With increasing pressure to tackle rising waiting times, the report reveals that some clinicians feel pressurised to conduct more open surgery to address a long waiting list. Modern tools, including robotics, can assist surgeons to operate laparoscopically. However, the survey that accompanies today's report shows that 96% of UK surgeons believe that upfront capital costs are a barrier to the adoption of surgical robotics in the NHS[viii].
Prokar Dasgupta, Professor of Robotic Surgery & Urological Innovation, King's College London said: "It is regrettable that we continue to perform open surgery on patients where minimal access techniques are both appropriate and possible. Now is the time to embrace surgical innovation and plan ahead to build a sustainable healthcare system".
The report also outlines that a lack of MAS-trained surgeons is another reason why uptake in the NHS is limited[ix]. Performing MAS requires a surgeon to operate laparoscopically, which requires further training and exceptional skill. 81% of gynaecological surgeons named an insufficient number of surgeons being trained in MAS as the main barrier to increased uptake[x].
Mark Slack, Consultant Gynaecologist and Urogynecologist, and Medical Director at CMR Surgical said: "Patients everywhere deserve access to minimal access surgery. We need to address the training shortage and ensure that robotic systems are affordable for today's healthcare systems. With the NHS at breaking point, it is our duty to work together – industry and the health service – to encourage the use of surgical innovation for the benefit of patients".
Where used appropriately, MAS can improve patient outcomes whilst promoting the efficient use of NHS resources; however, this can be inhibited when silo-thinking and short-term targets drive decision-making, according to the report[xi]. Investing in new equipment which can deliver long-term benefits should be prioritised. Robotics is one way to increase the use of minimal access surgery, but the current cost of robotic systems has made it difficult to prove a return on investment within the timeframes required by commissioners to fund new equipment, sometimes as little as 12 months[xii], the report shows. Just 30% of surgeons believe that there is adequate support and incentives in the NHS for surgical innovation[xiii].
The findings of the report demonstrate that through the uptake of MAS, the health service can reduce pressure on beds, improve patient outcomes and eventually deliver cost savings to the NHS.
The barriers and opportunities to greater uptake of minimal access surgery are being debated at a leading event in central London on the 20th March by renowned surgeons including Amjad Parvaiz, Thomas Ind, Carolynne Vaizey and Prokar Dasgupta.

NHL salary cap could see unusually high rise in 2017-18, per report
Players kind of don't want that, though. It's complicated.

With the Vegas Golden Knights joining the league in 2017-18, we knew the NHL salary cap would rise. We just didn't know by how much.
James Mirtle of The Athletic reports that the salary cap next season will rise by at least $2 million, which would leave the 31 teams with $75 million in cap space to work with.
But his sources also indicate that the cap could rise even more. As Mirtle reports:
But a $75-million cap would mean only about 1.5 per cent of the 5 per cent growth factor was used. And there is another player-side faction that is still arguing for the NHLPA to agree to the full 5 per cent. That remains a possibility.
That would push the cap to at least $77.5 million, which is larger-than-average bump historically.
Usually, the NHLPA votes to use at least part of the five percent growth factor, which gives teams more cap space to spend on players. There had been rumors they could decline to do it this year given how salary cap increases impact escrow, but Mirtle reports the cap is going up to $74 million even in the unlikely scenario that the escalator clause is not used.
NHL CBA Negotiations: What Is Escrow, Anyway?
Good question. Dunno.
At any rate, we're probably hearing the official salary cap news on Friday. For now, we can wonder where it lands in that $3 million gap that The Athletic is reporting on.

Canon CanoScan LiDE 300 Review
By William Harrel
At 1.7 by 14.5 by 9.9 inches (HWD) and weighing only 3.6 pounds, the LiDE 300 is small and light.
Strong software bundle for the price.
Good photo-scanning quality.
Scanning serif fonts with the default utility could be more accurate.
Limited mobile device support.
For an occasional-use photograph and document scanner, the entry-level flatbed CanoScan LiDE 300 is a good value, but its LiDE 400 sibling is only $20 more and comes with valuable extras.
The Canon CanoScan LiDE 300 ($69.99) is an entry-level flatbed scanner designed to digitize photographs and for very light document scanning in homes, home offices, and small offices. For the $20 difference between the LiDE 300 and the Editors' Choice Canon CanoScan LiDE 400, though, you give up half the resolution, slightly faster scans, and the ability to stand the scanner upright to save desk space. If every penny counts and these perks don't matter to you, the LiDE 300 is a perfectly capable light-duty machine.
Lean and Easy to Use
At 1.7 by 14.5 by 9.9 inches (HWD) and weighing only 3.6 pounds, the LiDE 300 is small and light. It's also the same size as its LiDE 400 sibling, except that, as mentioned, the latter comes with a kickstand that holds the chassis upright vertically.
Two competing models, the Epson Perfection V19 and Perfection V39 ($85.99 at Amazon) , are also about the same size, weight, and price as the CanoScan models, and, like the LiDE 400, they both come with kickstands for holding them in a vertical position. The differences among these four flatbed scanners are minimal. As mentioned, the LiDE 300, with a maximum resolution of 2,400 by 2,400dpi, supports only half the resolution than the other three models' 4,800 by 4,800dpi.
Epson Perfection V19
IRIScan Book 5 WiFi
Brother ADS-1700W
For most applications, even 2,400dpi is overkill. (Most computer monitors display only 72dpi, or 96dpi on some high-resolution displays.) The benefit of high-resolution scans, especially 4,800dpi, is that you can crop away large sections and have enough pixels left to allow you to increase the size of the remaining area without degrading its detail.
Connectivity on the LiDE 300 (and the other three flatbeds discussed here) consists of USB 2.0 for both power and data. There's no networking, no mobile connectivity, and no peer-to-peer protocols, though you can scan to the cloud by having the LiDE 300 dump your scans into a folder on your computer for your favorite cloud service.
As with most scanners, be they flatbed or sheet-feed document machines, with the LiDE 300 you can scan from either the panel on the face of the chassis or from one or more of the software utilities on the CD-ROM that comes in the box. The LiDE 300's control panel consists of four buttons. Each one initiates a scan, and when it finishes, the scanner tells the software on the host computer what to do next, as follows:
PDF saves the scan to a PDF file based on parameters you set with IJ Scan Utility. (I'll discuss that in a moment.)
Auto Scan determines the type of item on the scanner glass and then scans and saves it to the appropriate file format. Text documents, for example, are converted to PDF or one of the other text document formats, based on the settings in Scan Utility, and photos are saved as JPEGs or another supported graphics format.
Copy sends the scan to the printer designated in Scan Utility.
Send pushes the scan to a designated email address or application. You might, for instance, want to send scanned photos to a photo-editing program for tweaking.
Finally, in addition to scanning paper-thin media, the LiDE 300's lid can be adjusted to hold thicker items, such as books and magazines, as shown here…
It's All About the Software
All the LiDE 300 really does is, in a sense, take a picture of the item on the scanner bed. What happens next depends on the bundled software. The disc that comes in the box includes Linux, macOS, and Windows versions of the following utilities:
CanoScan LiDE 300 Color Image Scanner Driver: This is the driver that connects the scanner to your computer.
IJ Scan Utility: This scanning interface lets you define every aspect of your scan, from resolution and file type to destination, such as email, the cloud, or a folder on the computer.
ScanGear MP Driver: This is another scanner interface similar to Scan Utility, but with a wider range of options, especially for scanning photos.
IJ Scan Utility is essentially a frontend that provides access to several functions—Auto Scan, Document Scan, Photo Scan, Custom Scan, Stitch Scan, and OCR, or optical character recognition, for converting scanned text to editable text—in one place, making these options easy to find and configure…
Clicking the Settings button opens a powerful backend for configuring each function…
ScanGear allows you to choose from two user interfaces (Basic or Advanced) based on your comfort level. In the following image, for example, I am scanning several photos at once. ScanGear, in turn, detects each image's autonomy, allowing me to save each one as a separate file…
The ScanGear software increases the LiDE 300's functionality significantly. For example, ScanGear is TWAIN-compliant, making it capable of operating inside many other TWAIN-ready third-party programs, including Microsoft Word and PowerPoint, Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Photoshop (shown below), and most other image-editing and -enhancing applications.
When Bulk Scanning Isn't an Issue
If you need to scan and save piles of text documents for document management, archiving, and so on, the LiDE 300 is not a good choice. Since there's no automatic document feeder, the speed at which you scan is highly dependent on how fast you can swap pages from the scanner bed.
Canon rates the LiDE 300 at 10 seconds per 8.5-by-11-inch page and 5 seconds per 4-by-6-inch photo. Its sibling, the LiDE 400, is rated at 8 seconds for 8.5-by-11-inch pages and 4 seconds for snapshots. Those numbers put the LiDE 300's rating at 6ppm, provided the human operating the scanner is capable of swapping out the pages in zero seconds. That, of course, is impossible.
During my tests, the best I could do was about 3.5ppm to 4.5ppm. To do that, I had to sit poised, ready to take off the current page and lay on the new one—completely monopolizing my time and attention. Obviously, if you need to scan text documents on this scanner, they should be both short and infrequent. Otherwise, you should use a machine more suitable to the task, such as, perhaps, Epson's DS-1630 Flatbed Color Document Scanner or the flatbed-with-ADF atop your all-in-one printer.
Terrific-Looking Photos
Photo scanners should, of course, reproduce photographs and artwork as close to the original as possible, and hopefully with minimal fussing around with the settings. The good news is that today's entry-level scanners and supporting software are adept at picking up individual colors and detail. During my tests, I sometimes had to adjust contrast, hue, and other settings, but the LiDE 300's scans of my photos mostly came out close to the originals. The built-in filters, such as Auto Dust & Scratch Reduction, Fading Correction, and a few others, did a good job of correcting minor instances of these types of issues. (A problem for Mac and Linux users, though, is that many of these filters are not available to them.)
The LiDE 300 did a good job overall of scanning and converting my text documents to editable text, but, as was my experience during my tests of the LiDE 400, the IJ Scan Utility's OCR prowess could have been a little more accurate. While its score of 6 points without errors on the Arial page was very good, its 10-point mistake-free showing on the Times New Roman test page was not as impressive.
To test this further, as I did with its LiDE 400 sibling, rather than having Scan Utility send the font-page scans to its own OCR engine, I set it to send to Adobe Acrobat DC. Lo and behold, the Times New Roman page, too, converted error-free down to 6 points, which is a good indication that the scanner itself images accurately.
One or the Other
When the decision comes down to choosing more functionality over saving a few bucks, I'm usually for choosing the additional features—especially when the extra expense is only $20. The LiDE 400 gives you that nifty kickstand for freeing up desk space. It also offers twice the resolution, and an extra button (Finish) on the front of the machine that makes scanning to multipage PDFs easier than on its LiDE 300 sibling.
Otherwise, everything else is the same. And, yes, I get that for budget-strapped students and others, especially those who just don't scan often, that $20 could be more wisely spent elsewhere. Either CanoScan model will work just fine in low-volume scanning environments.

Reading Aloud (#26): T.S. Eliot's "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" (1915)
Benjamin D. Hagen
pp. 2-3 of The Complete Poems and Plays, 1909-1950 (w/ undergrad notes)
My favorite poem, "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock," turns 100 this month. I first read T.S. Eliot in the spring of 2004 (my second semester at Northern Michigan University) and recall that I did not think much of him until Austin Hummell, subbing for Mark Smith (the instructor of record), invited the class to follow along as we read through "Prufrock" aloud. Professor Hummell's enthusiasm for the poem—or perhaps just his excitement at getting to teach it—managed what I so often fail to do with my own students: it made me interested. Interested in Eliot's similes ("Like a patient etherized upon a table"?). In his imagery ("yellow smoke"? "sprawling on a pin"? "a magic lantern"?). In the poem's utter sadness ("I do not think that they will sing to me"). Its allusiveness ("S'io credesse che mia risposta fosse…"; "I am no prophet"; "I am not Prince Hamlet"). Its irregular rhythms and rhymes. Its texture and sound. Its obscure, difficult intimacy—like a meeting between "you and I" on "half-deserted streets, / The muttering retreats / Of restless nights."
pg. 4 of Complete Poems and Plays (w/ undergrad notes)
Worn cover of The Complete Poems and Plays
I remained interested in Eliot over the following months, purchasing a used copy of The Complete Poems and Plays, 1909-1950 from a used bookstore (Frigate Books, now closed) in my hometown of Gladstone, MI. It was December 2004, and my wife and I had just announced we were separating a week or so earlier. It was a hard time for me (for us); we were both young and unhappy. I was an angry young man, unable to admit my unhappiness or my problem with anger. Although our divorce was the best thing that ever happened to us, I spent a long time with Eliot's "Love Song" in the early months of 2005, identifying with the isolation and disappointment and lateness of the poem's speaker. I carried The Complete Poems and Plays with me everywhere: to classes, parties, study sessions, restaurants. I read it everywhere, even as I walked from place to place, and accidentally memorized this particular poem. "Prufrock" eventually became much more than an exercise in self-pity; it became a kind of mental therapy. A mental and physical exercise, an interweaving of my body's movment with the movement of the lines: their breaks, their enjambments, their punctuated and non-punctuated pauses. The poem also became an odd sort of measurement (how many "Prufrocks" will it take to walk there? here?). A talisman. A performance. A lure to bond or argue with other readers.
Final lines…
Eleven years, three degrees, and a thousand miles later—and still with my life-partner of eight years, who heard me recite "Prufrock" on the first day we met—the 131-line poem is so fantastically and soul-crushingly alive to me. I don't think I'll ever be able to read it, recite it, or teach it enough. (Though perhaps those closest to me are getting tired of hearing it!) Here's a recording of "Prufrock" in Eliot's infamous voice:
"a pair of ragged claws"
And here's my response:

And here is the text itself.
And the poem as it appeared in the June 1915 issue of Poetry.

Reblogged this on midnightsnackserial and commented:
An amazing poem with a myriad layers of meaning. A hundred years have passed since it's writing and it is still as powerful now as it was then.
Your tone of voice while reciting the poem gives it a special touch. It is almost as if you could feel the emotions of T.S Eliot while he wrote it. Each line contains deep meaning and your notes helped me fully understand what T.S Eliot wanted to convey. Just amazing. -Alexndra Rodil
Gian M. says:
The poem for T.S Eliot is very descriptive in essence. The poem asked an abundant amount of questions, though it is very interesting to see how the narrator/character goes along his life asking himself what type of man he should be. The poem discusses the difficulties he faces of being a man in society. He knows so much that he is utterly terrified of women. Is he eloquent, a gentleman or neurotic? Also, the poem shifts from being direct, to using symbolism of oceans, to show that he is distant from society. In conclusion, I personally, as a reader, have had difficulties understanding poetry. Yet, Eliot uses a specific tone and choice of speed making it easier to understand and have a very clear picture of what the poem speaks to us about. All in all, it was a very good poem.
Gian Marco Latoni
Olangeric Velazquez says:
I loved the depth that the speakers voice gives to the poem. When I read it on my own it was harder to understand, but his tone of choice transported me to the era of the poem and helped me understand it better. It is very interesting how something so small like the difference in the speaker and the flow of the voice can change a poem so completely. I gained a new perspective in the reading of poems and will definitely consider coming back for future poem reading.
Alondra says:
I was truly moved by the speaker's rendition of this poem. I've never been a big poetry fan; I find it confusing and cumbersome. Reading it aloud didn't help me and others portrayals felt somehow monotonous. However, the speaker portrayed so much emotion it was baffling to me. He wasn't merely reciting, he was truly feeling the words he spoke, which made me feel as if i were feeling them with him. His fond, yet nostalgic tone in the beginning, The bother his position and the way others judge him, the faltering on daring to change that, the exasperation he feels knowing it is for naugth,his melancholy and the sense of defeat he feels by the end, coupled with almost a certain amount of relief. It definitely goes beyond anything I've experienced ever before in poetry.
-Alondra Rodriguez (052)
Gianellys Garcia says:
In all honesty I did not understand the poem by itself. However, after having gone through the notes and hearing the "narrator" actually read the poem it was a completely different experience. Reading it aloud and in that particular way; the pauses, the whispers, the change of pace or tone of voice, and even the emphasis on certain words gave the poem a certain appeal that I couldn't have accomplished by reading it on my own.
At one time or another we have all self-pitied ourselves, we have all felt that we are not worth it, so in that sense "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" is relatable. Nonetheless, Prufrock needs to let loose, get a grip, take risks, and like himself a little more.
(ps. #1. I know it shouldn't but the repetition of "Michelangelo" made me think of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, sorry…)
– Gianellys R. Garcia Rodriguez (013)
I love how the tone of this poem varies so much throughout. Sometimes it was soothing, in a way you could almost hear the author reading something he wrote from the bottom of his heart. But then it varies in a way which I feel there is doubt, pain, a voice almost in agony but at the same time still with the soothing voice heard in the beginning. Truly amazing how the way a poem is read helps so much in how the message is conveyed.
Ricardo Martínez Rodríguez
Fernand José Gracia Diaz (013) says:
The way T.S. Eliot recites this poem, makes you think that the author itself is reading it (assuming that how we talked, by the year it was written,) especially by the "old man" voice used. Hearing this poem while reading it creates whole different experience, as if you can feel the narrators feelings yourself. Since you're reading it while this voice is playing, your "inside" voice turns into T.S. Eliot's voice, and how he expresses the feelings of the author, through the tone of his voice, creates an extraordinary feeling on self-identity even though one isn't passing through the events of the poem.
Daraliz Marrero says:
The way you recited this poem made the feelings of the poet more perceivable. I had read this poem before, but had never heard it in that tone. The tone affected greatly my perception of the poem. Your voice made some verses more apparent than others and allowed me to understand better the vivid imagery presented in this poem. I was really impressed on how different a poem can seem to be depending on the tone you use to recite it.
Patricia Leal says:
The speaker's voice presents an accurate and appropriate representation of the narrator's feelings in the poem. With his voice, he shows us how desperate and lonely Prufrock really is. Also, his voice clearly displays how Prufrock's static life is product of his low self-esteem and of the unnecessary pressure he puts on himself. Without a doubt, the speaker's voice provides more emotion and understanding of what Prufrock is experiencing.
Alejandra Isabel says:
Reading the poem by one's self can be challenging. Reading the poem while listening to you recite it: a whole new experience. Thanks to the tone, you immediately made me travel back to 1915. I could feel the love, the tenderness, the fear, the pain and the never ending sentimentality of T.S. Eliot.
" Time for you and time for me,
And time yet for a hundred indecisions,
And for a hundred visions and revisions,
Before the taking of a toast and tea."
Loved it! – Alejandra I. Robles
Sara Espinosa Puig says:
The way this is read makes the listener feel what the author expresses. It is captivating and entrancing. It makes you question why the author feels this way and why he expresses these feelings so intensely. He makes the listener wonder where his words come from, are they from sadness, fear, joy?
Over all, the poem is beautifully expressed.
-Sara Espinosa Puig
Elliot Marrero says:
whilst reading the poem you can feel certain elements like the uncertainty and melancholy of the speaker. when i was reading the poem i gave it a much slower tone and didn't care much for it but after I heard the speaker put in his tone and mood I completely fell in love with the poem. he marks the poem at a much faster pace which created for me a heavy feeling desperation in times. i love the enormous amount of emotion that he brings in to one of my favorite verses "When I am pinned and wriggling on the wall, then how should i presume"; he made me feel the desperation and uncertainty that were instilled in this precise moment. All in all the poem alone is great but when we add in your reading and your specific tone in turns into an amazingly deep poem.
-section 023-
Reading the poem by itself made it a bit hard to fully comprehend and didn't leave that much of an impression on me. But when I listened to you read it, you made it feel more personal and it felt like the character/narrator was talking to us, letting us know of what he feels, the troubles he's facing and the uncertainty in his soul. There were parts in which you rose your voice in agitation and lowered it in self-pity or sadness corresponding to the line being read. The way you read it and the pauses you made throughout the poem gave me a new perspective of it and made it show emotion where I didn't see it.
-Ashley Rodriguez Leon

Gabriela M. Justiniano says:
It is surprising to see how tone is expressed through writing as well as how it's interpreted and recited. The way you expressed each and every word, brought upon the poem a whole new meaning. The feelings conveyed through your voice and each pause, created suspension throughout the writing. This in turn, sparked my curiosity towards the poem. I could empathize and understand the protagonist's feelings that the author wanted to portray.
Carla Marín says:
The speaker of The Love Song shifts moods throughout the poem, making it harder to understand. As I read it on my own, it was difficult to see where the speaker changes topic and to not get lost in his words. The way you recited this poem really expressed the desperation, the anxiety and the depression Prufrock goes through. The tone of this poem and its changes is what makes this poem what it is, and your voice, your pauses, and your dramatic empasis give the listener a more complete understanding on Prufrock's situation. The tone of The Love Song is key and it's really fascinating how you made the emotion come alive with how well you recited it.
branchbooks says:
This is my favorite poem of all time, so I am always hesitant to see how it is recited or performed. Nevertheless, the execution was fantastic! It conveys the emotions the poem deserves. From cautious, to exasperated, to dejected… The inflections he makes while reciting are great. It helps us understand the tone of this poem and how the narrator is questioning his life. I know it's about a middle-aged man who's life didn't go exactly as planned, but don't we all feel disillusioned at some point? We will be Alfred J. Prufrock eventually.

Christian hernandez says:
Your tone is perfectly atuned to the emotions of the poem. I can feel the confused thoughts that sat behind TS elliot's thoughts while he wrote about if he dared to disturb the universe. I can feel the speakers despair and deep analysis of life and failing to do something worthwhile in the universe. Sir you have a real talent to convey emotion, I loved this poem but you made me love it more. Thank you.
Joshua A. Reyes says:
When reading, writing or reciting poetry it is important that the message is properly transmitted. For poets this is a complicated task since poetry is basically a way to say things without necessarily saying them; this poem is a perfect example of how a poet can accurately convey his thoughts and ideas. The author of this article, Benjamin D. Hagen, does a marvelous job of reciting this work of art. Reciting a poem takes a lot of practice, each word must be treated as it's own unique world, poetic pauses must be made to ensure the metric is being met and fluctuations in the voice play a defining role. All of these factors were completed when listening his interpretation of "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" by T.S. Elliot. Hearing this poem for the first time was an amazing experience, each word was pronounced appropriately, every color, feeling an idea was so surreal it was palpable and most importantly the message the author wanted to communicate was efficiently recited by this man.

Luis Rios says:
I find this poem to be amazing, and I enjoyed how your voice helps us understand the poem. When I picture this in my mind, I imagine a middle aged man, not happy with the direction his life has taken. The poem alone leaves an impression, but hearing it being recited adds a new meaning to it.
Luis R Rios Castro (052)
Javier E Rodriguez says:
The poem seems interesting but in a distinctive and different manner to the piemas i tend to read. I really enjoy the way you recite this poem.
Diego Sotomayor says:
As previously mentioned the tone makes T.S Elliot's emotions more palpable and makes the audience gain a deeper, more personal dimension of understanding the poem's obscure emotions.

Cincinnati School Administrator Is Penalized for Supporting Marriage Equality
February 11, 2013 /0 Comments/in Employment Issues, Marriage & Family, Theology & Church Teaching /by Francis DeBernardo, Editor
An assistant principal at a Catholic high school in Cincinnati is about to be fired because he wrote statements in support of marriage equality on his personal blog.
Mark Moroski
News.Cincinnati.com reports about the decision directed against this Purcell Marian High School staffer:
"The Archdiocese of Cincinnati placed Moroski on administrative leave Feb. 4 and plans to fire him, Moroski said. He says he has hired a lawyer.
"Moroski refused to take down his statements on the blog.
" 'I believe in Catholicism,' Moroski said in an interview. 'But my conscience will not permit me to recant my statement.
" 'I put it up there because I really truly honestly believe it,' he added. 'I'm absolutely willing to lose my job over this. The only difficult thing for me now is the students.' "
Moroski admitted that he knew he was making a statement that was not in accordance with church teachings about marriage, but his conscience directed him to do so.
Of course, church teaching clearly states that we must follow our consciences, so, in reality Moroski is following church teaching by stating his beliefs. In doing that, he is teaching his students an invaluable lesson about the importance of following one's conscience–a very Catholic lesson.
On January 27th, Moroski wrote the following statements on his blog, www.mikemoroski.com:
"I unabashedly believe that gay people SHOULD be allowed to marry. Ethically, morally and legally I believe this. I spend a lot of my life trying to live as a Christian example of love for others, and my formation at Catholic grade school, high school, 3 Catholic Universities and employment at 2 Catholic high schools has informed my conscience to believe that gay marriage is NOT something of which to be afraid."
Since then, Moroski has posted several times about his reflections on the situation, including this post, entitled "Prayer":
"Many folks are beginning to say that they will pray for me to repent and realize the error in my ways.
"I, too, am praying for them to realize that this stance is NOT an attack on them or their church. It is about trying to make us all a little bit better. And who knows, I may be wrong in God's eyes. I have no idea what God thinks. I just try to live my life in a way that doesn't harm anyone. And I realize all of these other folks feel the same way about their lives. I respect that.
"But my conscience tells me that I am not doing anything wrong.
"Between the two camps of prayer, I fully expect that we will find God in the middle."
Moroski's case is similar to the New Zealand teacher who was fired last year for criticizing his principal's derogatory comments about lesbian and gay parents. Unfortunately, it is similar to the increasing number of cases here in the United States where employees of Catholic institutions are being fired either because they support marriage equality or because they have married a same-gender partner.
Instead of teaching students about the primacy of conscience, the Archdiocese is instead teaching them about homophobia.

One of the major arguments employed by the Religious Right (including many Bishops in our Church) is that gay rights represent an attack on the church that will lead to good christians being discriminated against (e.g. fired from their jobs) for expressing their faith. The argument is not without some merit and should always be addressed seriously as intolerance is not limited to one side. But how can these people not see that by sacking this man they are indulging in a breathtakingly crass hypocrisy?

Q: Render route conditional rendering. React router (hashrouter) I'm using Hashrouter component of React Router to render my different routes in a React application. In order to avoid duplicating code, I created a couple of components called TopBar and Footer, as the name suggests it renders this two elements in the website. My problem comes when I want to add another route for an admin page which I DON'T WANT to have TopBar neither Footer. Since the path is matching with '/' it is obviously showing both components along with the AdminFrame component.
I have a couple of workaround solutions in mind but I would like to know if there's any plain and easy solution to this problem without changing any route in this structure:
<HashRouter>

    <Route path="/" render={()=> (
      <TopBar/>
    )} />
    <Route exact path="/" render={() => (
      <Home />
    )} />
    <Route exact path="/contacto" render={() => (
      <Contact />
    )} />
    <Route path="/" render={()=> (

    )} />
    <Route path="/admin" render={()=> (
      <AdminFrame/>
    )} />

</HashRouter>

Any help appreciated.

A: If the Topbar and Footer is shown only on the homepage, you might consider just putting TopBar and Footer somewhere in the Home component instead. If you still need the Topbar and Footer i'd go with a Switch to organize the routes better:
<HashRouter>

    <Route exact path="/" render={()=> (
      <TopBar/>
    )} />
    <Route exact path="/" render={()=> (

    )} />
    <Switch>
        <Route path="/contacto" render={() => (
          <Contact />
        )} />
        <Route path="/admin" render={()=> (
          <AdminFrame/>
        )} />
        <Route path="/" render={() => (
          <Home />
        )} />
    </Switch>

</HashRouter>

Switch renders only the first matching route.

It's her 88th birthday, and this Grandma is about to be surprised. As she stands at the end of the driveway to wave at the neighborhood school bus, little did she know that all of the kids were actually aware of the special day. By the end, this elderly woman is left in tears of happiness.
Doris is known to the kids around her Ohio neighborhood as Grandma. And how did she earn such a lovely title? Because everyday for 5 years straight, she has stood at the end of her driveway to wave and blow kisses at all of the school children as they ride the bus. Doris brings smiles to the kids, as well as to all of the people in the community.
On the day of Grandma's 88th birthday, the children and their bus driver decided to do something nice for her. As she stands at the end of the driveway to wave - all of a sudden, everyone in the bus begins to sing "Happy Birthday." When they are done, many voices yell "Happy Birthday" and "We love you Grandma!" Doris is so taken back, she is brought to tears. Wow, what a beautiful video!


Are we easy to work with? This is a question I posed to our company and myself this week.
I have worked in large organizations and also spent my more recent time as an entrepreneur. Through the years, I've created and built partnerships that have resulted in commendable growth for the company I worked for or the company I was building.
Through these experiences I have learned firsthand what to look for when considering forming a partnership with a vendor. I've developed a checklist that helps me decide whether to enter into a professional relationship with another company. It's also helped me focus on how Falcon Containers can achieve success when organizations are considering a partnership with us.
Easy to work with. Will we enjoy this working relationship or will it be draining, frustrating or adversarial?
Reliability. Will this company deliver what it has promised to deliver in the integrity of the product or service? Can we rely on them?
Communication. Do I know how things are going with the project we are working on? Am I kept in the loop on status, problems and planned resolution?
Accessibility. I need information and data in a timely manner.
Adaptability. Is the responsiveness required due to a change happening?
Resourcefulness. Things keep moving ahead and whatever it takes to complete the task at hand is done.
Dependability. I can move my customer's needs to this partner with full confidence that all promises and agreements will be met.
I hope this list helps your organization assess potential partners and be great ones as well.

Adama happens upon an old, self-made birthday card from Kara Thrace, while reviewing her jacket.
William Adama reviews Kara Thrace's service record file, which includes various disciplinary notices, commendations, and citations.
Meanwhile, on Colonial One, Laura Roslin presides over a drawing of ship captains who will comprise the five judges of Gaius Baltar's tribunal. Tory Foster picks up a folded card from the bowl, handing it to Roslin. It reads: Captain Elias Meeker, Gideon.
Adama looks through more of Thrace's records, including a commendation for bravery regarding her actions in recovering the civilians from Caprica.
Foster draws one last name from the bowl. When Roslin opens it, she initially begins to read the card aloud, but stops herself as she reads the name, clearly shocked.
As Adama continues to slowly run through the jacket, he happens across a self-made birthday card from Thrace to him. The cover reads: "You were always like a father to me . . ." Upon opening the card, he sees a picture of Thrace, who is wearing his glasses and has doodled a mustache onto the photo. Above the picture are the words "See the resemblance?" and below, "Happy birthday, young man". It is signed it with "much love, Kara". This elicits a laugh from Adama, who begins to tear up and sniffle.
On the flight deck, a grieving and inebriated Samuel Anders stands on top of a Viper, tossing a coin, calling "heads" correctly for the fourth time in a row. Watching him are Anthony Figurski, Hamish McCall and Margaret Edmondson.
In the memorial hallway, Lee Adama stands in front of the section containing Kat's picture. He thumbs with a photo of Thrace, keeping it close to his belly, then pocketing it as he hears the sound of Racetrack's footsteps. Edmondson then gets his attention by calling Adama by his rank.
Still standing above the cockpit of the Viper, Anders holds out the cubit, saying that his "girl is too lucky to check out". Adama and Edmondson approach; Adama joins Anders on top of the Viper and attempts to talk him down. Emotionally distraught, he initially sits down, then jumps up, saying he has somewhere to go, but he doesn't complete his words as he slips and falls from the Viper. Adama climbs down from the Viper as some of the spectators begin to cluster near the fallen Anders, who says "I think I fell".
As Adama checks Anders over for injuries, Anders asks him, "She's still alive, right?" Adama replies in the negative, and Anders tearfully claims that he knows.
In CIC, Colonel Saul Tigh tells Adama he's been selected as one of the five ship captains that form Baltar's tribunal.
On the hangar deck, Racetrack complains about having to fly Baltar's lawyer back and forth from the Zephyr. Her chief grievances are that he whispers into her ear and takes his shoes off on board.
Skulls wonders why Baltar is even given a trial while he's obviously guilty, to which Cally replies that it's justice.
An explosive charge detonates aboard the Raptor. Racetrack walks out unharmed, but Baltar's lawyer is dead.
A press conference takes place on Colonial One with reporters firing questions at President Roslin about the trial, a replacement defense attorney, and other matters. Roslin firmly maintains that no terrorist acts will affect the trial.
In the pilot ready room, the mood is also somber. Major Adama is distracted and making mistakes as he plans a reconnaissance operation. At one point, Adama mistakenly calls Racetrack Starbuck after the Raptor pilot makes a joke to Sharon Agathon about checking under her seat. An awkward silence descends upon the room. Adama apologizes, then quickly dismisses the group.
Roslin interviews Baltar's new attorney, Romo Lampkin with Admiral Adama present. Lampkin abruptly introduces the Fleet leaders to his cat, who is in a foul mood.
Adama asks his son to head up the security detail for the new attorney. When the younger Adama objects to being grounded as CAG and indicating that he's "okay", the admiral tells him that he knows that his son isn't okay because the admiral himself is also still in grief over Thrace's death.
Lampkin is given his quarters and asks to see Baltar. Lampkin wants to choose a room that is unlikely to be wired for surveillance. He tells Major Adama that he was a student of his grandfather, Joseph Adama.
The scene shifts to see someone's gloved hands preparing explosive charges.
Baltar, in a bulletproof vest, is escorted by Marines to his attorney in Major Adama's quarters. The major is present, but Lampkin assures Baltar that he has signed a confidentiality agreement.
Baltar is agitated as he writes more quick notes for his manifesto. He knows that the tribunal will use Caprica Six against him.
When Lampkin asks to be taken to Colonial One, Adama objects. When he insults Adama, the major reacts violently, his stress over the events of the last two weeks coming forth briefly.
Adama manages to convince Captain Aaron Kelly to fly the Raptor with Athena and Lampkin aboard, despite the admiral's grounding order for the major.
As the Raptor's door is almost closed, Lampkin's cat escapes through the hatchway, and the door is reopened while other deckhands scramble to chase the cat.
As Chief Tyrol crawls under the Raptor to reach the cat, he discovers the bomb, and everyone madly scrambles away.
Later, Admiral Adama is infuriated at his son for disobeying orders, noting how everyone is out of sorts since Thrace's death two weeks prior. The admiral orders his son to do his job, properly, for he will be on the other side of the courtroom as a tribunal member.
The bomb is dissected and analyzed. Deck crew and officers discuss the problem: one of them is a conspirator. Cally Tyrol states her opinion, and accuses the Cylons, and more indirectly Sharon Agathon, of the bombings and of inciting the riots within the Fleet.
Major Adama warns Lampkin to watch himself, but Lampkin is philosophical, realizing that someone will eventually get to him, no matter what.
On Colonial One, Roslin grants Lampkin permission to interview Caprica-Six in the usual interrogation room. Tory Foster apologizes to Apollo for the difficulty and delay in getting the files Lampkin requested shipped to him.
As Lampkin interviews Six, she notes her love for Baltar. Lampkin relates his experiences in love, which moves Six. She asks him whether or not Baltar has asked about her, and Lampkin removes his glasses and shows her Baltar's pen, telling her that his sacrifice of his one limited freedom is an expression of his love.
Lampkin also informs her that unlike Baltar, she won't get a trial.
Later, Anthony Figurski delivers the papers Lampkin requested from Colonial One, noting that Captain Kelly had inspected them. The Marine escort is suspicious, and both they and Lampkin inspect the paper box to their satisfaction.
As Lampkin enters his key code for opening his quarter's hatch, Marine Henry Cheadle notices a screw on the floor, and realizes that the key lock had been tampered with. He tackles Lampkin, pushing him to safety just as the hatchway explodes, taking the full force of the explosion.
Lampkin survives the bomb attack, but is in sickbay. Major Adama speaks with him and has brought a bag containing Lampkin's possessions.
Lampkin states that he is a kleptomaniac, and master sleight-of-hand thief. Major Adama begins to remove the items with Lampkin commenting on the significance of each: Roslin's glasses, a shoe from the prosecuting attorney, a button from the admiral's jacket. "I borrow things," he says. When the major asks what Lampkin took from him, he tells him that he found Thrace's picture, but didn't take it.
Adama discovers a special object that could only come from an officer. He asks who Lampkin burgled to get this object, which is something only the bomber would have.
Major Adama interviews Captain Kelly, who admits to being the bomber and warns that he will continue the attacks if left on duty.
The admiral reinstates his son as CAG, but the younger Adama wants to help Lampkin instead. He does not cave in the face of his father's repeated objections. Eventually, the admiral, furious with the major, declares that he's through giving his son orders. Back on CIC, he orders them to remove the major from the board and re-instate Helo as CAG. He tells everyone there, "My son has more important things to do."
Adama places Thrace's picture onto the memorial board as she requested, next to Kat. Anders, on crutches and with his left leg in a cast, comes in. Together the two begin to come to terms with losing the woman they both loved.
Baltar finds an envelope with his pen, and a note from his attorney.
The note contains a poetic line, telling Baltar that there is no more powerful ally than a son who decides to step away from his father's shadow.
Bonus Scene
The scene begins with Athena and Cally Tyrol in the hangar deck while the rest of the deck gang is away.
Athena begins to ask Cally why she accused her of being the bomber, upon which Cally denies ever making a direct accusation.
Athena responds that she didn't accuse or even indirectly imply that Cally is the bomber, even though Cally was the last deck hand to inspect the Raptor.
Athena allows Cally to take her gun and hold it to her chest, while Athena states why she knows Cally, despite her intense hatred for the Cylons, wouldn't shoot her. It is because she knows Athena loves her husband, her daughter, and Galactica. Cally, according to Athena, would never dare take a child's mother away.
After a few tense moments, Athena grabs the gun, points it next to Cally's head and states in unambiguous terms that if Cally is discovered to be the bomber, Athena will kill Cally herself.
Starting with this episode, Katee Sackhoff's name is no longer listed in the opening credits.
The population count at the start of this episode is 41,399, accounting for Kara Thrace's death in "Maelstrom". At least one birth must have occurred to set off Alan Hughes's death in the teaser. Assuming that Marine Henry Cheadle dies in the explosion that almost kills Lampkin, the population count would be 41,398, a number that does not take into account any births or other deaths that occurred off-screen.
Karl Agathon is temporarily assigned as CAG, despite not having any previously known experience as a Viper pilot. After Apollo, Helo is the highest-ranking established pilot left. Experienced Viper pilots passed over for the job include Marcia Case, Ricky Richardson, and Hotdog, of whom the latter had at least as much experience as former CAG Kat. This is consistent with the traditions of the U.S. Navy, which does not require the CAG to be a fighter pilot, or indeed any kind of pilot - commissioned aircrew such as Electronic Countermeasures Officers are equally eligible.
The model ship which Adama destroyed in the previous episode is still sitting on a shelf in his quarters, but visibly damaged.
The one-armed deckhand - using a prosthetic - who first appeared in "Dirty Hands" can be seen in the far background in the scene with Hughes boarding the Raptor before he is killed.
When Adama looks at Thrace's personnel file, one of the sheets is a field commendation for valor and bravery received for an operation called "Blue Mountain Retreat" and "action on Hill ER5." Since it mentions a rescue of civilians, this likely refers to the Caprica Rescue mission in "Lay Down Your Burdens".
Lampkin's theory on how the person who cares the most is the one that wins is similar to dialogue from Life, the Universe and Everything by Douglas Adams.
"The point is," he said, "that people like you and me, Slartibartfast, and Arthur -- particularly and especially Arthur -- are just dilettantes, eccentrics, layabouts if you like...We're not obsessed with anything, you see... And that's the deciding factor. We can't win against obsession. They care, we don't. They win."
"But unless we determine to take action," said the old man querulously, as if struggling against something deeply insouciant in his nature, "then we shall all be destroyed, we shall all die. Surely we care about that?"
"Not enough to want to get killed over it," said Ford.
This episode's title is a pun on the title of the 1926 Ernest Hemingway novel "The Sun Also Rises".
Sam Anders' flipping a coin and continually coming up with heads is reminiscent of the early moments of Tom Stoppard's play "Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead", in which Rosencrantz has the same result on a coin flip over a dozen times. This leads Guildenstern to comment "Consider - One: Probability is a factor which operates within natural forces. Two: Probability is not operating as a factor. Three: We are now held within un-, sub-, or supernatural forces." The moral is that two minor characters within a play (namely, Hamlet) have no control over their fate, and are condemned to carry out their role in the story regardless of their desperate attempts to change events.
According to Michael Angeli, Lampkin's first name, Romo, is from the first two letters of Ronald D. Moore's first and last names.[1] Romo Lampkin was also initially conceived as a "55 year old Alan Dershowitz character."[2]
The door code to Romo Lampkin's temporary quarters on Galactica is 1234.
Romo Lampkin exhibits symptoms of kleptomania. Over the course of the episode he steals many objects Lampkin views as important to their owner from a psychological perspective, and thus provides him with knowledge of a person. Among the objects stolen:
Gaius Baltar's worn fountain pen
Laura Roslin's glasses
Admiral Adama's uniform button, which Adama first searches for when Lampkin talks to Caprica-Six
Ms. Cassidy's sandal
Aaron Kelly's magnetic component, used in his bomb-making
The assassination of Baltar's lawyer was inspired by attacks on Saddam Hussein's defense team (Battlestar Galactica: The Official Companion Season Three).
Information from the script reveals that the names of the ship captains taken out of the glass bowl by Foster to be revealed by Roslin are:
Captain Simpson Markson, Argo Navis
Captain Jules Tarney, Pyxis
Captain Doyle Franks, Prometheus
The scene where Foster and Roslin reveal the last ship captain, in this case Admiral William Adama, was unscripted.
A noticeable pattern between the two Adamas is evident whenever both are going through a stressful or traumatic situation. Whereas the elder Adama has the experience and the desire to focus on the job that he has to do, the younger Adama consistently displays an inability to cope and process his emotions. This difference between the two has often led to sharp divisions, causing another tear in their damaged relationship:
In the Miniseries, Bill Adama is trying to get on with his life after the loss of his son Zak, but Lee is still full of rage over the incident and quite unambiguously holds his father responsible for what happened.
When the two Adamas do not agree on the same method of coping with the destruction of the Olympic Carrier in "33". This eventually leads to Lee Adama becoming Roslin's military adviser and eventual co-conspirator during the hunt for the Arrow of Apollo.
During the planning for the Battle of New Caprica, the two Adamas butt heads again over strategy and whether it is worth the risk of losing the last remnants of humanity that were with Galactica and Pegasus at the time.
Lee Adama has consistently shown a tendency to prove that he is not like his father, even though both are described as stubborn by Dualla and Carolanne Adama. This tendency is evident in the last argument between the two when Apollo accuses Adama of not wanting him to become like his grandfather.
When Lee Adama mistakenly calls Racetrack "Starbuck," his mental state is reminiscent of "Black Market" when he constantly found himself recollecting events on Caprica before the genocide.
William Adama's failure to listen to Carolanne Adama's pleas and advice to tell his son how proud he is of him comes back with a vengeance when Apollo repeatedly asks his father if he is giving him an order, the implication being that Apollo wants to know if his father is treating him as a son or as a soldier. Adama's refusal to ask Apollo to obey his orders as his son will probably lead to further dissension between the two.
Romo Lampkin, though he appears to be a lawyer with little, if any, courtroom experience, has demonstrated a deep understanding of the human psyche. He takes Roslin's glasses to prevent her from being taken seriously during the trial. His other feats such as raising doubt and bringing out Caprica-Six's feelings for Baltar, and his slow but sure persuasion of Lee Adama into helping with Baltar's case, give hints to a man who obviously has immense experience with the art of manipulation.
Lee Adama honors Thrace's request of having her photo posted next to Kat's. His inability to let go of the photo may represent a possible marriage conflict with Dualla if he is unable to truly move on.
Cally Tyrol correctly states that the Cylons wouldn't even need to fire one shot because they may find the Fleet had torn itself apart because of humanity's tendency towards self-destruction. However, it is also clear that she has not realized that she and the many workers are just as much a part of the problems when they essentially risked the existence of the Fleet with their work strikes, refusal to refine tylium, and disobedience toward military orders (TRS: "Dirty Hands"). The summary of all those acts cannot be attributed to Cylon intervention as Cally Tyrol is implying that Athena is responsible for the bombings.
Two weeks have passed since the events of "Maelstrom". During this time, Adama apparently has been mulling over his memories of Starbuck, including a review of her military record. The audience sees, amongst the items in the folder, a hand-made birthday card which Thrace gave Adama for his birthday once. It jokingly shows Thrace with a color pen mustache and glasses, and asks if Adama can see the resemblance. This moment reinforces the theme that Starbuck was very much a daughter to Adama, even though he stated otherwise in "Torn". It is very clear that he still sees Thrace as a daughter to him.
After the events of "The Woman King", Helo has been reinstated amongst the pilots of Galactica, as the original purpose of assigning him to Dogsville was in response to his objections and sabotage of the Cylon biological weapon. Starting with "Dirty Hands", Helo is present at briefings in the ready room, and appears to be a squadron leader. Thus, once Apollo's flight status is revoked it is only natural for Adama to promote Helo to the CAG position because of seniority and trust.
It is unclear whether Helo has experience with a Viper, but numerous Viper pilots have been flying Raptors so far. Whether this goes both ways it yet to be seen, but with Helo's position as head of a squadron and now CAG, it appears that he has at least enough operational and tactical knowledge to do the necessary organizational and administrative duties. His previous experience as Galactica's XO may also have been a factor in his appointment.
Though Kelly tells Apollo that he would never have detonated the bomb with him inside, the fact that the bomb had been planted and that Kelly couldn't anticipate Apollo's impromptu decision to join Lampkin makes it clear that Kelly's original intention was to kill Lampkin and Athena. Whether this is an indirect statement on Kelly's view on Athena's Cylon heritage or his desire to raise the stakes by not only killing Baltar's lawyer, but sacrifice a member of the crew, is unclear.
This is the first episode since the end of Season 2 that any member of the "The Colonial Gang," specifically Playa Palacios appear in the series. This episode and the nature of the remaining episodes may indicate a return to the President-news press relationship that the audience has seen in the past.
Is Lampkin's statement to Roslin and Adama that he is seeking the fame (or infamy) of being Baltar's lawyer true, or is there an ulterior motive?
Will Captain Kelly be punished and if yes, how?
Besides the attacks caused by Kelly, have there been any other incidents of violence on the scale that Zarek warned Roslin about?
Will the death of Thrace bring Lee Adama and Sam Anders closer as friends in the future?
Would the bomb on the Raptor have gone off if Tyrol hadn't discovered it? Is Kelly telling the truth that he would not have triggered it with Lee Adama inside?
Is Cally's hatred of the Cylons truly towards all Cylons or is she afraid of Athena because of her connection to Tyrol's former lover, Boomer?
Why does Lampkin wear sunglasses in most of his encounters with people?
What caused the rift between William Adama and his own father?
Given Karl Agathon's temporary promotion to CAG, does he have previous flight experience as a Viper pilot?
Given the reappearance of Playa Palacios in this episode, what of her other fellow "Colonial Gang" correspondents, James McManus and Sekou Hamilton, or the program itself? (Answer #1 (Hamilton), Answer #2 (McManus)
Cast Comments
Mark Sheppard discusses how he approached portrayal of Romo Lampkin:
Mark Sheppard: Ron had said that he gave Michael Angeli carte blanche to make this character as odd and as wide as he wanted to make it. Michael Angeli is a very, very, very clever writer. It's wonderful dialog, it's a wonderfully convoluted, complicated character. You know the glasses idea was his idea, he wears dark glasses a lot, Michael Angeli, and the glasses were very important to him. And he put the cat in and all these strange elements and the kleptomania. and there are all these other questions, is he a Cylon? a manipulator? is he this, is he that. All of these things are kind of irrelevant. I played him as the last sane man in the universe. If you think of the episode "The Son Also Rises", my first episode, it's the episode after "Maelstrom". Maelstrom is a disaster, an absolute disaster! The end of "Maelstrom" leaves you with this huge hole, this gap and I walk in to a group of people in mourning. They are in mourning for Starbuck. I think I'm the only person paying attention. I think none of them are paying attention because of the events of New Caprica and everything that has happened since New Caprica. I mean basically they just want to tear Baltar to pieces, they kind of admit that they will move the trial forward because people need it, they need the trial, they need something.[3]
Mark Sheppard discusses a deleted scene involving Jerry, the cat:
Mark Sheppard: There is this lovely scene that they cut out. At the end of the scene when Lee says if anything moves don't touch it, if anything is in the wrong place, it's when he is worried about me finding a bomb. And my line is if they want to kill me they'll find a way, now how do I get to see the Cylon woman. And I looked down and Jerry the cat is sitting there and what is funny is I looked at him and there is a line [where I say], "Please go boom." And what happened is the cat looked up at me when I spoke to him, then as I looked away, he looked away. It was very funny. (laughs) Cats do what they wanna do.[3]
Sheppard discusses his reaction to Ron D. Moore's offer of being Lampkin in three episodes:
Sheppard: It's very, very weird. It was a very, very, very weird day. But it was kind of brilliant. I think he took great delight, and as I take great delight, in the fact that most of the time I tend to play what are termed "villains" – I don't think of people as villains, but people with massively different agendas than the heroes usually in our pictures, especially in sci-fi. And this, I think, is very, very different. I think Romo is very, very different. I mean…somebody asked me, "Do you think he's a Cylon?" First thing Eddie [Edward James Olmos] said was, "The first thing I'd be thinking was: he's a cylon." I'm like, but does it really matter? Does it matter whether he's a cylon? It actually doesn't. I mean, his principles are extraordinary. His logic is I think extraordinary.
It's just because he's very deliberate in the way that he executes what he does. As a character – the character is written very deliberately, in a manner that he has a very different set of moral values than the people around him. Which I think is an absolutely amazing thing to play. Plus being a kleptomaniac, you know – if you have a bizarre trait it doesn't hurt along the way. Michael Angeli's [writer] kind of brilliant when it comes to that kind of writing.[4]
Information from the podcast:
Ron Moore admits that it's a stretch to have both Adamas involved intimately in the trial and even on opposite sides. But the writers decided to go for increased drama, since the trial would otherwise only be carried by guest stars with the show's main characters sidelined. Moore also believes that Admiral Adama is capable of making fair and rational decisions.
Romo Lampkin's cat was supposed to run out of the Raptor, but when shooting the cat only strolled. Since it's difficult to direct cats, the film was sped up instead.
That Lampkin always wears sunglasses was a decision made by the writer that was ultimately supported, despite concern on the part of the actor and the director.
Noteworthy Dialogue
Colonel Saul Tigh tells Admiral William Adama the good news:
Saul Tigh: Your Honor. (Adama looks at Tigh, confused) You haven't heard? Where have you been? They've just announced it. You won the lottery. You own exactly 1/5th of Baltar's skinny ass.
Romo Lampkin replies to William Adama's question regarding his qualifications for defending Gaius Baltar:
Lampkin: I was born for this. That, and the fact I have a pulse.
Admiral Adama rips Lee Adama another one:
William Adama: What the hell were you doing out there? I gave you an order. To do a job.
Lee Adama: Excuse me, I was doing my job.
Bill: Yeah, being led around by the nose! This bastard yanks your chain and you jump.
Lee: He wanted files from Colonial One–
Bill: It was the middle of the night.
Lee: Well, you assigned me to security.
Bill: Yeah. And there was a bomb on that ship. And you missed it. Security? I gave you explicit orders.
Lee: Athena was piloting.
Bill: You coulda died. Plain and simple. You're a soldier. Live like one. Start acting like one!
Lee: She's been gone two weeks. I didn't realize the clock was running.
Bill: (softly) Stop.
Lee: No, I'm sorry. Maybe because we're just built differently.
Bill: You stop. Don't you dare quantify my loss.
Lee: You have no idea. You have no frakking idea.
Bill: What, you think yours is deeper?
Lee: Well–
Bill: Yours is greater? (Lee doesn't respond) In two weeks, there's going to be a trial. And I'm going to do what I was chosen to do, and so are you! You build a frakking nest around this man and you protect his ass!
Lampkin (ostensibly) confides in Caprica about his tortured romantic past:
Lampkin: I loved a woman. Beautiful, beautiful woman. But so serious. This frowning face, trapped in the middle of a daisy. She had a way of walking, processional. As if she were on her way to her own execution. We had ten years. Then it fell apart under its own weight.
Caprica: Is that what you wanted?
Lampkin: I thought if I could get over her, I could get over anything. I could endure. Conquer. Be a man, stand up to any and all kind of punishment. I clung to an empty, spinning bed for months. And that... that is when I finally realized how much I loved her. If I needed all that strength, ...what, was the point? I needed to be with her.
Cally Tyrol apparently learns from her mistakes, and misses the point:
Tyrol: I believe that the Cylons want us to destroy ourselves and this is how they're doing it. By planting bombs, making us suspicious of each other. You know what's funny? By the time the Cylons catch up with us, they won't even have to attack. They'll just clean up the mess we made. I think they're here.
Sharon Agathon: I think you're wrong.
Apollo and Lampkin discuss Joseph Adama:
Lampkin: Everybody has demons. Them, Baltar, you, me. Even the machines. The law is just a way of exorcising them. That's what your father's father told me. You want to know why I hated him? Because he was right.
Apollo: So you hated him because he was right, and I hated the law because it was wrong. Because of what— of what it put him through. I mean, he defended the worst of the worst. I remember reading about him. The outrage, helping murderers go free. What I don't understand is why he put himself through all that abuse—
Lampkin: You think he gave a flying frak? Joe Adama cared about one thing: understanding why people do what they do. Why we cheat our friends, why we reward our enemies. Why we go to war, sacrificing our lives for lost causes. Why we build machines in the hope of correcting our flaws and our shortcomings. Why we forgive, defying logic and the laws of nature with one stupid little act of compassion. We're flawed, all of us. I wanted to know why, so I did what he did: I spent my life with the fallen, the corrupt, the damaged. Look at you: you were so ready to get on that Raptor with me, be the bad boy, the prodigal son!
Apollo: No, I was just doing my job, protecting you!
Lampkin: What are you doing in my business? Suddenly I'm handcuffed to a serial contrarian?!
Apollo: No, I am not— oh, OK.
Lampkin: My bed is made. I suggest you toil on your own. Now, if this cross-examination is over, I'd like to take a crap.
Lee Adama discovers Lampkin's kleptomania:
Lampkin: My demons. I borrow things. My parents disappeared when I was nine years old. They were kidnapped. Murdered for the money they had on them, which wasn't enough. I went to live with an uncle, stole from him until I could run away.
Adama: So what did you take from me?
Lampkin: I was thinking the photograph that you carry. The girl. The pilot. The one you carry [in your pocket]. But you've had enough stolen from you already.
Lee Adama confronts Kelly about the bomb:
Kelly: I would have never let Athena airborne with you on the Raptor. I would have stopped it. You know that.
Adama: Yeah, I know that.
Kelly: You'd better lock me up. And I don't want any trial. I won't stop. I will keep trying. I'll keep at it, I will. I did my job, sir. And I have done my job for two years. Every day I've sent people out to fight. I cleared them all to die. So many people. I just got tired of living with that. You ask that man, if you had to choose between giving up his life for a Cylon or human, what do you think he'd say? I had to do something.
Baltar reads a note from Lampkin, after retrieving his pen from the envelope:
Lampkin: There's no greater ally, no force more powerful, no enemy more resolved than a son who chooses to step from his father's shadow. Romo Lampkin.
