Denton is well known for its high gastronomic standards.These are frequently displayed, and enjoyed, at the annual Village Supper and other social events in the Village Hall.
For some years they have also been in evidence in the excellent suppers provided at the monthly "Last Friday" gatherings. This year has seen the introduction of yet another opportunity for residents to "Tuck-in"!
These are the new, monthly, "Second Tuesday" lunches provided by a small team of volunteers led by Doris Lambert. Recently retired, Doris wanted to provide an opportunity for local people who were not so keen on evening events to get to enjoy a meal together. Needless to say attendance is not limited in any way so there are plenty of people there who enjoy all the evening events as well.
As reported at the time, News Item, the scheme proved to be very popular with up to 50 people sitting down for a great lunch and a good mardle.


Facebook launched a service to attract gamers who stream their game play online for others to watch, similar to Amazon's Twitch platform. Fb.gg, which borrows its initials from the post-game courtesy of saying "good game," serves as a hub of all the video games streaming on Facebook and lets users follow esports celebrities, competitions and gaming conferences, according to TechCrunch.
Facebook also plans to introduce a service for star gamers to build an audience on its platform and earn money from tips, the company announced in a blog post. The Level Up Program will be available in the next few months, though the social giant has begun to let a handful of creators let fans subscribe to their channels for $5 a month, per Variety.
The new features will let fans support their favorite gaming content creators by buying and sending virtual goods during livestreams with digital currency Facebook Stars. The currency allows content creators to earn real cash as Facebook pays $0.01 for each Star a streamer receives from fans, Variety reported. Facebook will collect a fee ranging from 5% to 30% from viewer purchases of Star packs, taking a smaller cut when users buy bigger packs.
With the E3 conference opening this week, Facebook seeks to highlight the ways its social platform will support creators of gaming content to keep users engaged on its social network instead of fleeing to Twitch or YouTube. A dedicated gaming hub is also another way for Facebook to appeal to marketers looking to reach consumers interested in gaming. Brands who have been ramping up their efforts on Twitch now have another option.
The social giant quietly debuted Facebook Gaming in the past few weeks to aggregate live and prerecorded video in one place. By providing a dedicated place for gaming fans to see gaming content, Facebook can also help to declutter its News Feed and keep it focused on posts from friends and family.
Facebook is playing catchup to platforms like Twitch, which has an average of more than 15 million active daily viewers and over 2 million unique monthly broadcasters, per Variety. YouTube has a similar creator program and hub, YouTube Gaming, for game broadcasters. However, Facebook has a key advantage in having personal information of its audience of 2.2 billion users. With that data, the company can promote the gaming video service to people who express an interest in video gaming or who fit a certain demographic profile, like young teens who have "liked" or shared gaming-related Pages or posts. This comes as Facebook seeks ways to develop additional ways to appeal to teens who are moving to apps like Instagram or Snapchat to socialize.
Video gaming is a huge industry that also has made stars out of skilled gamers and social influencers who share their commentary about strategy and reactions to online games. Consumer spending on video games is forecast to increase 13% to $137.9 billion globally this year, with mobile games growing even faster at 26% to $70.3 billion, a Newzoo study found. More than half of game revenues will come from the mobile segment for the first time, pointing to the potentially lucrative bet Facebook is making.


EVANSTON, Ill. (AP) Northwestern coach Chris Collins liked the energy he felt in the locker room. He felt his young team was ready to play.
Then the game began and the Wildcats quickly fell behind by nine points.
During a timeout, the players focused on staying positive.
The Wildcats started making shots, stuck with their defensive plan and rallied. Demps scored 17 points and Northwestern beat Western Michigan 67-61 on Saturday afternoon.
Nathan Taphorn and Bryant McIntosh added 10 points apiece for the Wildcats, who rebounded from a loss to another MAC team, Central Michigan, on Wednesday.
Tucker Haymond scored 12 points and Connar Tava and David Brown added 11 apiece for the Broncos, who led by three at halftime.
Northwestern opened the second half on a 7-1 run to lead 32-29. The Wildcats took a 36-34 lead on Demps' layup and never trailed again.
''Every time we crept back into it, (Demps) seemed to hit another shot,'' Western Michigan coach Steve Hawkins said.
McIntosh hit a 3 with 2:09 left for a 58-51 lead. Taphorn made two free throws with 1:16 left to extend the lead to 60-53.
Northwestern shot 43 percent from the field to Western Michigan's 39 percent. The Wildcats shot 30 percent from 3-point range (6 of 20) while Western Michigan shot 39 percent (10 of 26).
The Broncos went 6 for 14 from beyond the arc before halftime but were just 4 for 12 in the second half.
''We got strung out a lot in the Central Michigan game. We were continually beaten off the dribble,'' Collins said. ''We made more of a conscious effort to go back to the basics. It's got to be team defense.
Collins was also pleased with Northwestern's defense on Tava, who shot 3 for 9 from the field. He entered the game averaging a team-high 16.1 points.
''When we threw (the ball in) in, they'd cover down, and when we'd throw it out, they had good close outs,'' Tava said of the defense.
Both teams struggled at the free-throw line, as Western Michigan shot 13 for 23 and Northwestern went 15 for 23.
Northwestern had lost four of five. The Wildcats lead the all-time series against the Broncos 23-5.
Western Michigan: The Broncos were completing a seven-game road trip and have not played in Kalamazoo, Michigan, since Nov. 22. ...Western Michigan has five players from Illinois. . The Broncos entered the game shooting 41.6 percent from 3-point range, 16th in the nation. . Hawkins was called for a technical foul with 12:37 left, and Northwestern went ahead 43-36.
Northwestern: PG Bryant McIntosh was named Big Ten co-freshman of the week on Dec. 15 after he scored 15 points in 23 minutes in a 101-49 victory over Mississippi Valley State. . Before losing 80-67 to Central Michigan, the Wildcats held their previous 15 opponents to under 70 points, dating back to Feb. 22.
Northwestern has six freshmen, so the team experiences a lot of firsts. Forward Gavin Skelly scored six points on 3-for-4 shooting. He also took his first charge, which Collins pointed out to the media.
''I feel I need to bring energy to this team,'' Skelly said.
Western Michigan: Hosts Alabama A&M on Monday.
Northwestern: Hosts Illinois-Chicago on Monday.

Haikou Wenming East Road Tunnel: a beautiful vision of the future
Penda China/Wan Shuyan & Sun Dayong
Transport / Completed
Haikou Wenming East Road Tunnel is 4380m at its full length (2720m for the underground 6-lane dual carriageway) with a maximum depth of over 23m. It is the first tunnel to be constructed underneath the Nandu River; vehicles traveling within the tunnel may drive at a maximum speed of 60km/h on the motorway, with a reduced speed limit of 40km/h at road junctions.
Background info:
In 2020, PRC's central government set out a Masterplan to get the ball rolling in supporting the construction of Hainan Free Trade Port (Hainan FTP) , which has been designated to be a hub port under the policy of The Belt and Road Initiative
Thus far, Hainan Province has quickly and seamlessly integrated into the special economic zone (SEZ) of Mainland China, and its free trade port is now on par with those of Hong Kong and Singapore. Transportation is clearly crucial for the proper functioning of a major hub port; accordingly, Jiangdong New District in Haikou City - the capital and most populous city in Hainan – has commissioned an underground passageway, the Wenming East Tunnel.
The project facilitates the New District's fast-growing transportation and logistics needs with an elegant design, efficiently connecting Haikou City with Chengmai County and Wenchang City as part of the overall economic integration of the area.
Penda China was commissioned to design three entrances to the tunnel, one of which is much larger in scale and located on the east side, by the shoreline; the other two are on the west side and much smaller.
Generally, vehicular tunnel entrances must provide a transition zone in order to allow the human eye time to acclimate to the considerable change in brightness when going into the tunnel. To dispel any danger to potential drivers, Penda China's design does away with LED light grilles, and instead incorporates a curved madeleine-shaped canopy. This open clamshell shape ushers in natural light, while maintaining a uniformity of luminance at the entrance.
The entrances are a practice of bionic design, taking elements of marine life as sculptural inspiration, and specifically use undulating white shells as a prototype in homage to their location by the sea.
The canopy is clad in glazed aluminum panels, which have been selected for their exceptional shine and luster. Subtle black lines delineate the outer surface of the canopy in counterpoint to the expanse of curving white panels.
The underside of the canopy also incorporates the undulating texture, with the white material continued down the side walls to ensure a uniformity of luminance which is pleasing to the eye. The appearance of a fish's gills has been taken as a motif there, in a continuation of the marine life theme.
Light travels into the tunnel and over the undulating surface in a rhythmic manner, akin to ripples in still water which gently repeat and gradually subside. The way the stainless steel sheets have been embedded in the granite walls allows the reflected light pattern to continue further, extending the established rhythm.
Penda China have also drawn creative inspiration from marine bioluminescence, incorporating a multitude of small lights embedded in the lines between cladding panels. This allows the outer shell to emit a glow at night from up top, bringing a hint of romance to the city.
The three entrance designs vary in size, shape, and location, while all adhering to the same set of design principles, creating a harmony between them and their particular sites. From a bird's eye point of view, these futuristic landmark entrances stand out from the existing city fabric and provide a tinge of surrealism to Haikou, as envisioned by Penda China.
As time goes on, who knows what a city will look like 20 years from now? Perhaps these entrances are simply a beautiful vision of the future, as imagined by Penda China.

Welcome to the Website of the Missionary Sisters of St.Columban in the Philippines!
OUR MISSION/VISION: We, the Columban Sisters, are an inter-cultural group of religious women committed to continue Christ's mission of spreading the Good News of God's special love for us, especially among the poor and the oppressed in the different parts of the world where we are sent – Chile, China, England, Hong Kong, Ireland, Korea, Myanmar (formerly Burma), Peru, Philippines, Scotland and the United States.
Through our varied ministries, nourished by the Word of God and the Eucharist and by sharing of our own faith and life experiences, we hope to contribute towards the transformation of the world.
Inspired by our patron saint, St.Columban, a great missionary in Europe, we journey with Christ sharing his mission even to the giving of life itself.
HISTORY: We were founded in Ireland in 1924. We came into existence in response to a call to help the people of China, especially the women and children. This call was heard by many women, among them former Lady Frances Moloney, a young widow of Sir Alfred Moloney, Governor of British Honduras (Belize) and later of Trinidad. Frances Moloney was searching for a way of life that would make a difference to the most needy.

Kadillac Krier
Greg Harrison | April 8, 2014
As one could have expected from Joseph Krier's habitually cavalier perspective towards fiduciary responsibilities,San Antonio's interim city council appointment for District 9 was quick to approve the first portion of a rate-hike package proposed by the San Antonio Water System (SAWS).
With the only conservative councilman Carlton Soules (who is leaving his seat to run for District Judge) voting against the rate increase, Krier went along to get along, siding with the liberal majority on the council to force San Antonio residents to pick up the tab for their water utility's bad management. And what did he have to lose? After all, Krier won't have to pay for those pesky rate increases that his constituents will have to bear.
That's right, Councilman Krier is exempt from the rate increases he supported for his constituents. How? He happens to be the acting president and a ratepayer of Cadillac Water Supply Corp. – essentially his own personal water district.
Its entire jurisdiction consists only of the street Krier lives on, Cadillac Drive, with a miniscule 162 total estimated residents serviced.
So not only did he support a de facto tax increase on everyone but himself and immediate neighbors, (laughably citing SAWS conservation efforts as justification), he concretely illustrated his disconnect with the historically conservative voter base in his district.
As it turns out, Krier has also displayed an alarming lack of understanding about the local government ethics code. In fact, he might have violated the San Antonio Ethics Code in multiple ways. As a member of the executive leadership team for a for-profit entity directly impacted by an increase in competitor's rates, his vote represents a conflict of interest under Sec. 2-43. Also, as an individual, his vote to increase rates on the surrounding areas increases the economic desirability of the property and neighborhood in which he resides, possibly constituting another violation.
District 9 is one of the most conservative districts represented on San Antonio's city council. With the only arguably conservative council members Elisa Chan and Carlton Soules leaving, the May 10th election takes on even greater importance. Voters in District 9 need to make themselves heard now, lest their conservative principles end up falling on the deaf ears of a status-quo politician.

Number of young children in care in York nearly doubles
THE number of children aged four or younger in care in York has nearly doubled in three years.
Almost a quarter of children in care are now nursery school-age or younger.
And more than half of York's looked-after children are placed outside the city – as the council struggles to recruit foster carers.
The sad figures are revealed in a City of York Council strategy to plan how best to care for vulnerable young people and youngsters leaving care.
High house prices in the city are partly to blame, according to the report prepared for a meeting tomorrow (Tuesday).
It says: "York has unique challenges when it comes to foster care sufficiency.
"As a city there are a number of alternatives to being a foster carer due to the student and home stay market.
"This, together with most adults in the city being in work and house prices being high, creates a challenging environment in which to recruit foster carers."
There were 262 children in care in York at the end of March – a higher proportion than the national average.
York Central MP Rachael Maskell said the situation is "desperately sad".
She said: "We know that years of austerity and now the coronavirus pandemic has hit vulnerable families the most, with many reaching crisis point.
"Families need earlier interventions, better housing and children with special educational needs and disabilities need significantly more help. For this to happen, we need to see the Government invest in families.
"Further to this, I have witnessed the strain of children being placed out of area, sometimes separated from their siblings, and the impact of this can be truly heart-breaking."
The council says foster carers are "urgently needed" to help children stay close to their school, friends and family networks.
Cllr Ian Cuthbertson, the council's executive member for children and education, said the authority has not just a legal but also a moral duty to support the young people in its care.
He added: "But the strategy is about much more than just bricks and mortar.
"We need to ensure that the welfare, emotional, and physical wellbeing of the children and young people concerned is protected and nurtured in environments which help them to reach their full potential."
Cllr Bob Webb, spokesperson for children and educationfrom the Labour group, supported the early help strategy but said sufficient funding is important.
He added: "It's unfortunate that York has a majority of its looked after children placed outside the city. I'd like a better idea of what the council is doing to attract foster carers to reverse this.
"Leeds council has been successful in retaining its own foster carers with things like free gym memberships and free swimming lessons for their children. Is an advertising campaign alone enough?"
The council launched a digital recruitment campaign with the aim of attracting 15 new foster carers by the end of the financial year – but the campaign was paused because of the pandemic and will start again soon.
The strategy will be discussed at a meeting today (Tuesday, September 29) at 10am. Watch live at youtube.com/user/cityofyorkcouncil.

Marcelo Alberto Barovero (born 18 February 1984) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Liga MX club Atlético San Luis. He often goes by the nickname of "Trapito" (Spanish for "Little Rag").

Career

Early years

His first steps in the practice of football were at the club of his hometown, Porteña Asociación Cultural y Deportiva, then he played at the youth academy of Atlético Rafaela until his professional debut.

Professional career

Atlético Rafaela
Barovero started his professional career in 2003 playing for Atlético de Rafaela in the Primera B Nacional (Argentine second division). In his first season, the club won the championship and promotion to the Primera División. Barovero was used as the club's third choice goalkeeper in the first division, behind Ángel David Comizzo and Ezequiel Medrán. Rafaela was relegated at the end of the 2003–04 season, but Barovero stayed with the club and established himself as the first choice goalkeeper back in the B Nacional. He totalled 113 appearances for Atlético de Rafaela, before his move to Huracán (of the first division) in 2007.

Huracán
In the 2007/2008 season, he played all the 38 matches that his team disputed. At the end of this season, he was bought by Vélez Sársfield.

Velez Sarsfield
In 2008, after one season as a starter in Huracán, Barovero was bought by Vélez Sársfield to compete with Germán Montoya for the position of first choice goalkeeper. During the 2009 Clausura he was part of the Vélez team that won the championship, being an unused substitute during the tournament.

He eventually caught his break during the 2010 Apertura, during which he started in all but three games of his team's runner-up campaign. He finished the tournament with only 6 goals conceded in 16 games, and kept a clean sheet in 12 of the games. At the end of the tournament, he was awarded the Ubaldo Matildo Fillol Award for being the goalkeeper with the lowest goals-to-games ratio. The following semester, Barovero started in all 19 games of Vélez 2011 Clausura winning campaign, and all 12 of the team's Copa Libertadores semifinalist campaign.

River Plate
After his successful spell in Velez, in the 2012 Argentine winter transfer window giant River Plate picked him up for a US$250,000 season-long loan. He soon became the undisputed starting goalkeeper during his first semester at the club, and upon completion of the loan, River made his move permanent for a reported fee of US$950,000. Since then he's been one of the stars of the Argentine side and was named Man of the Match in more than one occasion, but most notably on an intense fixture in the 2013 Copa Sudamericana against Buenos Aires rivals San Lorenzo to advance to the Round of Sixteen. He won multiple titles with the squad, most notably the 2015 Copa Libertadores. The fans consider him an idol of the team.

Club Necaxa
Marcelo Barovero was officially transferred from River Plate to Necaxa of Liga MX, on 9 July 2016.

C.F. Monterrey
Monterrey football club unveiled May 23, 2018, the signing of Barovero, through the club's Twitter account. Barovero arrived for the 2018 Apertura MX tournament as one of the first reinforcements of the team led by Diego Alonso. The Argentine came from spending two years with Necaxa, where he won the Copa MX at the Clausura 2018.

Atlético San Luis

Barovero was unveiled in 2021.

THE CENTRE, we see a black and white recording of a young boy. In the bottom left hand corner of the screen a message reads "4/2/63 For Centre Use Only". The "film" shows a young boy of about four or five years of age standing in the middle of a room, surveying the work he has apparently just completed: the construction of the Empire State Building using Lego blocks. He's humming a song that sounds much like a nursery rhyme. It goes 'Geese walk barefoot, cree craw, toad's foot.' He looks at the copy and then turns and compares it with pictures of different views of the real thing that are projected onto a wall of the room. Satisfied, he turns towards the observation window of the door and approaches it. Outside the door, a head and shoulders of a man come into view. The young boy loudly utters that he's finished. The man looks and speaks directly into the camera, "This one has only been with us for thirty-six hours and he's already demonstrating more talent than any of our others." The boy knocks on the door and tries to look through the two-way mirror, stating again that he's finished. The door slides open and Sydney enters the room. He bends down so that he is on the same level as the boy. "Hi, Jarod. I'm Sydney. I'll be taking care of you for a while." Young Jarod looks puzzled. "Why? Where's my Mom and Dad?"
ANCHORAGE, ALASKA, 1996. A helicopter approaches a tanker and lands on its deck. Miss Parker is a tall, leggy brunette, wearing tight fitting clothes under a padded jacket and very high heeled shoes. Sydney is a distinguished looking gentleman, late fifties. He, too, is wearing a bulky padded jacket and gloves. Miss Parker and Sydney disembark onto the deck of the ship and are met by a sailor. He leads the way across the open deck towards the bridge. Looking at Miss Parker's lit cigarette, he remarks that the materials on board are highly explosive. She drops the cigarette on the deck and crushes it with her shoe, stating, "So am I." The sailor, Miss Parker and Sydney walk to the tanker's bridge. The sailor tells the two how "Captain Jarod" turned them in because they were dumping toxic waste into the sea. Miss Parker recovers a red notebook which had belonged to Jarod. She opens it and she and Sydney look at a variety of articles on a village where people were getting sick because of contaminated fish. Miss Parker thinks that Jarod accidentally left the notebook behind, but Sydney is convinced that it's a breadcrumb intended to keep him close. Miss Parker sarcastically quips, "Your little monster needs his teddy bear, huh, Sydney?", but Sydney stresses that Jarod is not a monster. Sydney discovers a large text book that is lying open along with another. The title is "Modern Surgical Techniques". Sydney believes that he now knows what Jarod's up to next.
THE EMERGENCY WAITING ROOM of New York's Queen of Angels hospital is a busy area with lots of noise, action and people. Walking through the centre of the throng is a tall, slender man with dark hair and dark eyes. He is dressed for a cold climate, dark trousers, turtle-necked sweater and an overcoat. This, we assume is Sydney's 'monster' Jarod. He looks rather confident, not at all like a person who had been isolated from the world for thirty years. Jarod comes across a man who is pushing his mother down a busy hospital corridor and trying to get instructions as to where to take her. A black nurse by the name of Gwen tells them that they need to see Admitting in a not too friendly tone. The woman in the wheelchair protests loudly, but unfortunately in Greek. The nurse tells her to speak English. Jarod is watching the scene with interest and when her son tells the nurse that she won't speak English, Jarod cuts in. "She says she doesn't wanna be cut open. She doesn't trust doctors. I don't blame her". Gwen instructs them where to go and the man pushes his mother along the corridor. The woman in the wheelchair twists so that she can look at Jarod. He smiles at her. Suddenly, a young girl on a gurney is being rushed along the corridor by a trail of nurses and ambulance attendants. She is wearing an oxygen mask. Medical jargon is thrown around, the little girl is clearly in distress and in need for emergency medical procedures. They are trying to get a doctor, but the doctor on duty is already in the OR and the doctor on call needs to be paged first. Jarod has followed them into the treatment room, he takes off his coat. He puts on surgical gloves while the nurses call out that the girl's blood pressure is falling and that she's going into respiratory arrest. Jarod gets ready to do a tracheotomy, but Gwen, the nurse, doesn't trust him and yells at a colleague to call security. The girl's O2 saturation is dropping and she is getting critical. Since no doctor has arrived yet, the tension is building. Two security guards have arrived, but Gwen tells them to stay put. Jarod asks for an ET tube and starts the tracheotomy. A tall, elderly, imposing gentleman with graying hair, in suit and tie has entered and is watching the end of the procedure, asking what the hell is going on. A nurse announces the girl is breathing again. Jarod turns around to his audience, most of whom seem to be standing around looming amazed, uttering, "Now, that's a nice sound".
Jarod and Dr. Hendricks, the man in charge, are walking down a hospital corridor towards Hendricks' office. Jarod is now wearing green hospital scrubs and has presented himseld as Dr. Jarod Russell. He apologizes to Dr. Hendricks for causing confusion that morning, but the latter waves it off. Hendricks introduces Jarod to Nurse Gwen, obviously the head nurse of the ER, who is handing Dr. Hendricks papers he needs to sign. They have stopped in the corridor and Jarod watches as Nicole, one of the nurses, approaches the door to the radiology room, opens it, flicks the OPEN sign over so that the OUT TO LUNCH side is face up and enters the room to be greeted by a smiling young man, before closing the door behind her. Another doctor by the name of Dr. Trader approaches Dr. Hendricks, Gwen and Jarod at high speed. He is a bit breathless. Dr. Hendricks introduces him as Dr. Allan Trader, Chief or Surgery. Upon Trader's mentioning of having missed Jarod's performance of a rather unusual tracheotomy in the ER in the morning, Jarod says that it's a procedure he read in a book. Hendricks and Trader start laughing at what they think is a joke, but actually isn't. Jarod looks a little confused at first, but then joins in. They walk into Hendricks's office and sit down at his desk. They ask Jarod why a doctor with his credentials decided to work at a small hospital like 'Queen of Angels' and Jarod replies, "Well, I could tell you that it was for the career opportunity, but the truth is, you are the only hospital that is offering stock options. And rumor has it that you might be purchased by an HMO," playing right along into Hendricks' and Trader's lap. The doctors look pleased and Trader tells him, "Don't worry, Russell. Stick with us and you'll be driving a new Lexus in no time". As they are about to part ways, Hendricks asks Jarod if he plays racquetball. Jarod says he's heard of it and Hendricks invites him for a game. The shake hands and leave the office.
THE CENTRE, BLUE COVE, DELAWARE. The Centre is a large stone structure by a lake. Miss Parker and Sydney are walking down a wide and long corridor. It has an institutionalized air, white walls, uncarpeted floors and lit from what appears to be a skylight high above them. Miss Parker thanks Sydney for having "created a mess big enough to put me back in the field." She had been recalled from Corporate to take charge of Jarod's recapture. Sydney says that he's also thrilled to be working with Miss Parker. She's planning to zero in on Jarod's location by tracking him over the ATM, but Sydney tells her not to underestimate Jarod: "If we're to catch him we need to be patient." "Look, Syd, you may be satisfied in your laboratory, probing small minds to solve big problems, but I have career goals that do not include schlepping across country, chasing after Boy Wonder." "You were such a happy little girl. What happened to you?" "I grew up, Sydney. So should you." They stop at a door and Miss Parker punches a code into a key pad beside it. A little girl, possibly four years old, rides down the corridor on a tricycle. The lock buzzes and they enter what used to be Jarod's room. It is a well lit room, quite large and on two levels. There are white walls with lots of shiny surfaces and modern furniture. However, it has no visible windows. The top level appears to be a living area, holding a table and chairs, television and video equipment on a trolley and an area behind a partition which can not be seen. The sleeping area and desk with computer is on a lower level. Sydney tells Miss Parker that it's a waste of energy, that he's been through Jarod's room a thousand times. She says she hasn't and starts prodding and probing some of Jarod's belongings. She tells Sydney to run Jarod's last sim. Sydney pushes a button which plunges the room into darkness. A large screen comes to life behind the desk. It shows a plane crash, the plane disintegrating and bursting into flames as it hits the ground. They both look at it while Sydney explains, "This is Jarod's last project. When the black box on this aircraft wasn't recovered, Jarod simulated the final moments of the crash. And using his innate pretender skills, Jarod effectively became each member of the cockpit crew and pinpointed the cause of the crash for our clients." She turns off the video and the lights come on again. "Hell of an environment you keep him in. With input like this maybe we'll find him masquerading as a postal worker." Sydney forcefully defends Jarod, "He doesn't masquerade. He's a Pretender. He becomes anything he wants to be." Miss Parker walks over to Jarod's desk, picking up an origami figure made out of gray paper. Sydney explains that it's an origami angel and that he hasn't figured out the emotional connection to Jarod yet. Miss Parker then corrects him. She tells him that it's not an angel, but Onyssius, "the Greek god of retribution. He defends the weak and abused." A little annoyed, she hands Sydney the origami figure, "Here's your breadcrumb, Sydney. Your sociopath thinks he his some kind of vigilante getting even for the little guy."
INSIDE A TAXI in New York City, Jarod tells the driver to go to St. Andrews Middle School, Queens. As the taxi moves off, Jarod opens a red bound notebook, similar to the one that Miss Parker found on the tanker. This one contains newspaper articles. "Injured 12 Year Old Kevin Bailey" with a picture of a boy in a wheelchair. "Boy Loses Parents" is the heading on another one of the articles.
OUTSIDE ST. ANDREWS MIDDLE SCHOOL, Jarod is standing at the counter of an Ice Cream van, examining a soft serve ice cream cone. He turns it upside down and tests its texture by rubbing some between his fingers. The ice cream man gives him a weird look, informing him that it "tastes better before it melts". Jarod tentatively tastes it and, upon liking the taste, eats some more. "Hey, this is good... This is really very good. Do they whip air into it to fluff it up?" The ice cream seller gives him an even weirder look. "I don't make it, pal. I just serve it." A school bell rings and Jarod turns and watches as a young boy in a wheelchair, Kevin Bailey from the newspaper article, stops to watch some other students at play. Jarod sees how an elderly man, possibly Kevin's grandfather, comes and takes him to the van. Jarod's face reflects the pain on the boy's face.
ON THE STREET, Jarod is standing in front of a bank of television sets in a shop front. A homeless man with a long beard and scruffy clothes is standing beside him, also watching the screens. Wheel of Fortune is on. Jarod's face bears a look of curiosity and bewilderment. "Now, this is fascinating. They win money by guessing word puzzles?" The homeless man looks at him in confusion, "You never seen Wheel of Fortune? What rock you been living under?" "I've been busy" Jarod replies. He looks at the current puzzle. Only three letters 'T' 'H' and 'E' have been added to the puzzle, but our genius has already been able to figure it out. "The Courtship of Miles Standish", he says and walks away. The homeless man stares after him in clear befuddlement as Jarod is walking over to another homeless man who's been whistling to get his attention. Homeless man no. 2 tells Jarod that he found out that Jarod's bank account in Alaska "has been frozen" and that he did what Jarod asked. Jarod hands him a hundred dollar bill. "You give me a c-note for finding out you're broke?" Jarod replies that they had an agreement and turns to leave. The first homeless man is still watching Wheel of Fortune, but the puzzle has been solved all but for the letter 'U'. He looks around at Jarod. The puzzle indeed reveals "THE COURTSHIP OF MILES STANDISH".
AT THE QUEEN OF ANGELS HOSPITAL, inside Jarod's office, Jarod has just finished drawing a syringe-full of blood from his own arm when there's a knock at the door. He is now in his more formal doctor attire, long sleeved shirt and tie. The red notebook is open beside his computer keyboard. He tells whoever is at the door to wait a second and quickly gathers up the equipment, opens the drawer of his desk and drops the paraphernalia in it before closing it again. He asks the person to come in as he rolls down the sleeve of his shirt using the desk as cover. Nicole, a trainee nurse, blonde, petite and pretty, around twenty years of age, enters. She politely asks Jarod if he could go see the Greek lady since he seems to be the only person she doesn't yell at. Jarod tells her he will and hands her the vial of his own blood, asking Nicole to have the lab run a complete diagnostic testing on it.
Jarod enters Mrs Nykos's room after knocking on the door. He greets her in Greek, he has now added a white coat and stethoscope to his doctor's 'uniform'. Mrs Nykos is sitting up in bed. She asks him in English, "Are you a doctor?" He evasively answers, "I am today." Jarod is perplexed that she can speak English and she says she only does when she feels like it. She also tells him that she doesn't need or want an operation. Jarod is sympathetic to her wishes and tells her that he'll cancel her operation if that's what she wants; he'll try something else. She looks at his inquisitively, "You're no doctor." Jarod seems to be concerned as he thinks he's been caught out, but then she adds, "You're a human being." Jarod smiles at her.
AT THE CENTRE, Miss Parker is entering the Tech Room, which is on two levels, a walkway mezzanine overlooking a semi-darkened room filled with computer monitors and terminals and a large display terminal taking up most of the far wall. Sandy, a slight, blonde haired woman who has walked along the mezzanine to meet Miss Parker, tells her that they have an ATM hit on Jarod's Anchorage account. Miss Parker looks pleased and Sandy informs her that he's in Santa Fe, Mexico. Miss Parker is already half-way out to take a jet to Mexico, but then Sandy hesitates. "No hold it, he's not in Santa Fe, he's in Rome, no, Luxembourg." Activity gets frantic on the main floor as the Techs try to locate Jarod's position. Miss Parker unnervedly exclaims, "The little SOB has scrambled the ATM system." The large screen comes to life with video footage from an ATM machine. It is the homeless man whom Jarod had hired to check his Anchorage account. He holds up a sign "HI GUYS". He then mouths the words and blows them a kiss, grinning the entire time.
QUEEN OF ANGELS HOSPITAL, outside radiology Jarod meets up with Gwen. She asks if it's true that Jarod has cancelled Mrs Nykos's surgery and he tells her yes. "Fine. You're the doctor. As long as I don't get blamed for anything." Jarod informs Gwen that he wants to try a special sort of herbal tea on Mrs Nykos. Gwen looks at him incredulously. "Doctor, this is 'Queens'. We don't do tea." "We do now." He asks her for the key to radiology and she hands it to him, telling him that Andy's out to lunch. Gwen then turns to where a boy and a man are sitting on a bench. She holds out her arms. The boy moves to her, greeting her with "Hi, Momma." She picks him up and gives him a big hug. Jarod watches the exchange with a smile on his face but sadness in his eyes. He walks over to the radiology room door, the "OUT TO LUNCH" sign is displayed. Jarod unlocks the door and enters the room, which is in darkness except for the illumination provided by one set of x-ray viewing panels. Behind the x-ray table on the floor, there is some movement which Jarod glances at and then ignores as he moves to the viewing panels and starts hanging x-rays taken from an envelope he has been carrying under his arm. Out of the blue, he suddenly starts speaking, "I could use a hand with these. That is, if you have one free." "Oh my God. It's Doctor Russell." Nicole jumps up off the floor and starts to straighten her clothes. Andy too, quickly stands and starts buttoning his shirt. Jarod smiles at them as Andy comes over to Jarod, still hastily rearranging his clothes. He puts on his glasses and looks at the films. "I don't understand. Kevin Bailey is Doctor Trader's patient. Any special reason you're looking at these?" "Any special reason that you're in here half naked? I can be forgetful if you can," Jarod smugly replies. Andy keeps looking at the films, telling Jarod that one of the thoracic vertebrae was crushed, severing the spinal cord. Jarod says that he knew that already, but was wondering why the pre-op and the post-op x-rays are identical. They conclude that someone must have made a duplicate of the post-op film and then labeled it pre-op.
IN JAROD'S LAIR, Jarod is sitting at his desk which faces the windows. He is looking at what looks like a small television screen that is enclosed within a case. There is a keyboard and roller mouse ball. He flicks a switch on the control panel, selects what looks like a small version of a compact disk from a slot in the case and inserts it into the player. The screen comes to life. On the bottom of the screen we read "JAROD 10/31/70 FOR CENTRE USE ONLY". The scene, in black and white, depicts a twelve year old boy. He is running backwards and forwards up a set of four stairs towards a fake door. He is holding a long slender brown paper wrapped parcel in his hands. On the far wall of the room is a large video screen. Sydney is sitting on a chair out of the way, watching what Jarod is doing. This is obviously one of Jarod's simulations. He tells Sydney what he's doing, how he's feeling, experiencing what the someone he's pretending to be must have felt. Very soon it becomes clear that he's pretending to be Lee Harvey Oswald, the man who shot John F. Kennedy in 1964. Young Jarod starts aiming the gun he's using for the simulation, telling Sydney, "I can't fire enough shots before the car goes under the overpass. I can't. I can't do this alone. He wasn't alone." As Jarod is watching the digital recording on his computer screen, he mutters to himself, "He had to have help. Trader wasn't alone either, Sydney."
ON A RACQUETBALL COURT, Jarod appears to be having trouble keeping up with Hendricks in a rally. Finally, Jarod misses and is brought up short against the side wall. Both men are enjoying themselves. Hendricks, too, is out of breath. He bends and picks up his water from the corner of the court, telling Jarod it was a good game. Hendricks toasts Jarod with the bottle and drinks.
In the Sports Club Lounge, Trader is sitting at a table having a drink. He is relaxed, slumped in his chair. Jarod and Hendricks, fresh out of the locker room and dressed in their 'doctor uniforms', approach his table and sit down. Trader tells Jarod not to be annoyed at having been beaten by Hendricks, informing him that "he never lets anyone win". Hendricks takes out a glass container with some kind of pills in it and swallows some. Jarod picks up the glass and reads the label, asking if Hendricks has got a heart problem. Trader cuts in, "Miles is a type A time bomb. Two heart attacks. One more and it's bypass time." They engage in small talk about the hospital and Jarod incidentally mentions that he expected "there to be more fallout from the malpractice problems." Trader and Hendricks exchange an uncomfortable glance. "Unfortunately that's the cost of doing business. We've had our share of difficulties, but I would put the Queen of Angel's record up against any hospital in the country," Hendricks tells him. When Jarod mentions the name Kevin Bailey, Trader suddenly becomes very still. Hendricks informs Jarod that there's nothing to worry about, that the Kevin Bailey case is now behind them.
ST. ANDREWS MIDDLE SCHOOL, outside the school, Jarod approaches Kevin Bailey, who is wheeling himself towards his ride. Jarod is carrying two ice cream cones, he holds one out to Kevin. Kevin rejects it. "Hasn't anyone ever told you? You talk to strangers, you end up on milk cartons." He starts to wheel away from Jarod, but Jarod follows. He tells Kevin his name and offers him the ice-cream cone again. "It tastes better before it melts." Kevin is having trouble getting his chair to go fast enough to get away from Jarod and the latter asks him, "Your hands still cramp up when you wheel?" Kevin stops wheeling and looks up at Jarod. "How would you know about it?" "I have a good imagination." There is the sounds of kids having a good time from behind them. Kevin looks towards them, remembering the good times. Jarod pauses and listens as well. He crouches down beside Kevin. "It's gonna get better, I promise." Kevin gives him a look of disgust, fuelled by anger and leaves.
AT THE CENTRE, in Jarod's room, Sydney is sitting in a chair staring at the wall when the intercom buzzes. He turns and flicks a switch. A secretary informs him that "there's a Shreve Harmon calling on line seven". Sydney smiles to himself. "Shreve and Harmon. Built the Empire State Building. Put him through and trace the call." The phone buzzes and he picks it up. "Very clever, Jarod." Upon Sydney's asking if Jarod is all right, he says he's broke, the Centre froze his bank account. Sydney begs him, "I want you to come home." "Well, now there's an interesting way to put it. Home," Jarod answers sarcastically. Sydney asks him, "Why did you leave?" "You're the shrink, Sydney. You want the truth? It's because of the lies. Your lies." "What lies?" Jarod stands and looks at a number of newspaper articles which he has stuck to the wall near his desk. He pulls one of them down. "I found out the real application of my simulations, Sydney. South Pacific Fleet simulation 118. You took my results and blew a ship out of the water. 133 people were on board. My outbreak simulation. You used it in the field. 46 people died of the Ebola virus, Sydney! Simulation 27. Simulation 16. Simulation 42!" Jarod's voice is laden with anger. Sydney stands up and starts pacing. "Jarod, these were military contracts. I had no way of finding out about their ultimate application." "How many people died because of what I thought up?" Miss Parker enters Jarod's space and picks up the extension phone. Sydney again begs Jarod to return to the Centre. Jarod crouches down beside his chair and picks up his PEZ dispenser from where it had fallen to the floor. Popping a PEZ into his mouth, he tells Sydney that he doesn't miss the Centre. From his undertones it is clear that he won't come back voluntarily. Sydney hisses at Jarod, "Jarod, this is getting serious. They brought in Miss Parker." "Uh oh. Well, you'd better watch your back too, Sydney." "What are you doing, Jarod?" "Using the skills you taught me." He disconnects, goes to take another PEZ, but it's empty. He throws it on the chair.
Jarod is lying on his stomach on the bed waiting for an ID card to come out of a laminating machine. It contains a picture of himself, JDR in big letters with Jarod D. Russell under it and an ID no., C75. He picks it up and looks at it.
AT THE CENTRE in the Tech Room, the Techs are in a mild panic as Miss Parker enters and is met by Sandy. The techs tell them that they're locked out. Sandy informs her that a client hired them to see if the Stock Exchange was vulnerable to manipulation. Sydney then states that Jarod spent four months on that simulation. The client gave them five million to test the results. Today is the date of the test, which Jarod knew. One of the techs tells them, "Everything was going to plan until someone on the floor started to manipulate the markets. He's stolen our five million." Miss Parker quips, "Gee, I wonder who that could be." Sydney cuts in, "Well, at least we know where he is."
ON WALLSTREET, NEW YORK CITY, Jarod crosses the street, removes his bright red jacket and throws it in a trash receptacle, smiling while doing it.
QUEEN OF ANGELS HOSPITAL, out on the roof. Mrs Nykos is sitting in a wheelchair, laughing. Jarod is crouched in front of her and is making marks on the sole of her foot with a pen. Nicole, who is standing next to Mrs Nykos hands her a cup. Jarod asks Nicole to massage the marks on her feet. Mrs Nykos is wondering about Jarod's strange medications and she demands the truth from Jarod. Jarod crouches down beside her. "What truth?" She places her hand on the back of his neck. "A man who gives me the sun, who massages my feet and who gives me stinky tea. Who are you?" She places her hand on his cheek as she notices his crestfallen look. "Och, so much sadness ... and so much joy."
INSIDE A NOBEL HOTEL, in the foyer Miss Parker and Sydney are checking in. The desk clerk informs them that their rooms have already been prepaid in cash. He also tells them the gentleman who paid for them left them something. He pulls an ice bucket from under the counter containing a box of Rocky Road Ice Cream. Around it, a spray of silver ribbon with a card attached to it. It reads "Welcome to the Empire State". Sydney is trying to hide a smile and Miss Parker silences him with one of her needle-sharp comments, "Not a word."
AT THE SILVER RAIL BAR, Jarod approaches Trader who is sitting at the bar. He pauses long enough to loosen his tie before getting Trader's attention. Jarod sits down on a barstool next to him, and Trader orders a ginger ale for himself and his colleague. Jarod looks very worn out and beat. Upon Trader's inquiring as to the reason for his rough look, Jarod explains, "Four gun shot wounds, a lobectomy and a ruptured spleen. And I'm only half way through. Allan, I think I might have screwed up today. Really screwed up. The lobectomy. I think I left a haemo inside when I sowed her up." Trader quickly dismisses it. "No problem." Jarod seems surprised. "No problem?" Trader tells him to take it out again under the pretense of having found internal bleeding, thus lying to the patient and covering everything up. Trader's pager suddenly goes off, due to the fact that Jarod had arranged it to do so with the help of the homeless man who had handled his bank-account business earlier. Trader tells Jarod he has to go. "Well, thanks for the advice, Allan," Jarod tells him as Trader leaves the bar.
OUTSIDE QUEEN OF ANGELS HOSPITAL, Jarod follows Trader back to the hospital and watches an exchange between Allan and Gwen Porter. Trader shows Gwen the message on the beeper. She shakes her head.
INSIDE JAROD'S OFFICE, Jarod uses his desktop computer to access The National Police Information Network. He finds a criminal record for Gwen Porter. There's a knock at the door. It's the nurse Nicole, handing in the lab results on the blood test of Jarod's own blood. He reads it and doesn't seem to be happy with the results.
We see another replay of a DSA recording of Young Jarod being approached by Sydney. "This one's been with us for only thirty-six hours and he's already demonstrating more talent than any of our others." Jarod tells him that he's finished building the Lego model of the Empire State Building and then demands to see his Mom and Dad.
IN A CORRIDOR OF THE HOTEL, a fireman, complete with helmet and breathing apparatus is ushering people towards the emergency exit. The building's fire alert message is sounding loudly. Miss Parker walks past the fire fighter, turns towards Sydney and gestures down, telling Sydney that she'll meet him downstairs. As Sydney walks past the fireman, the latter puts a gloved hand on his shoulder, urging him to hold on a second. Then he removes his breathing apparatus. It is Jarod. "Sorry to wake you, Sydney, but I needed to speak to you, face to face." Jarod hands him a piece of paper, explaining that these are instructions about how to retrieve the Centre's five million (minus Jarod's 'commission') that he stole at the stock exchange. "Don't look so surprised. I don't want money. I want the truth. Who am I? Did The Centre adopt me? Was I bought or was I stolen and where are my Mom and Dad?" Sydney plays Mr. Innocent, "Jarod, we've been over this a thousand times. Your parents died in a plane crash." "Yes, I know the story, Sydney. It's been burned into my brain for the past thirty years. You see, I did a little checking. There's this genetic anomaly that's in my blood that should be in my supposed parents. But it's not. Therefore it's impossible that I'm their son. So, the truth, for once."
Outside, on the way down the fire escape, Miss Parker, who is lighting a cigarette as she moves down, stops suddenly, realizing that there was no smoke when they were ushered out of the hotel. She turns and starts forcing her way through people as she returns up the stairs.
Back in the hotel corridor, Sydney tells Jarod that he honestly didn't know about Jarod's parents. Jarod is still angry, "I am not gonna to be your little science experiment anymore, Sydney. I can be anything I wanna be. You trained me well. I can be a doctor, I can be an engineer, I can be an astronaut, for God's sakes. But I don't know who I am. Tell me who I am." "I don't know either. At the time I had no reason to question what the Centre told me. I swear." "Then prove it. Give me tomorrow's code to the Centre's mainframe. The truth about who I am has to be in there." Sydney says he can't do that. Miss Parker and some sweepers appear at the end of the corridor and Sydney is forced to come to a quick decision. Miss Parker gives the order to shoot Jarod. Sydney turns to Jarod, giving him the code and telling him to go. Jarod moves towards the elevator and disappears. As the sweepers are about to aim at Jarod, Sydney blocks the path of Miss Parker and the sweepers, giving Jarod time to slip into the elevator and make his escape. By the time Miss Parker gets around Sydney, the elevator doors have closed. She bangs her fists on the door in frustration and strides back to Sydney. She's very annoyed. "Make up your mind, Sydney. Be a scientist or a mommy. You can't be both." She marches off down the corridor, the sweepers close on her heels.
AT A TRAIN STATION, Jarod is following Gwen as she exits the station. He calls her name and she stops, surprised to see him. Jarod tells her he wants to talk to her for a minute, handing her an x-ray envelope. Gwen takes out the x-ray, it's Kevin Bailey's. He confronts her about why she helped Trader to cover everything up. He also hands her her criminal record that he dug up in the police archives. Tears well in Gwen's eyes as she tells Jarod that she's got a job, a good husband and a kid and that she didn't want to lose any of that. "What would you do if your wife came home and told you that she was a crack-head and a convict?" Jarod looks at her with a genuinely understanding expression. "I'd say that she'd paid her debt and I'd ask her why she didn't trust me enough to tell me the truth. At least that's what I think I would do." Gwen is scared, but Jarod finally gets her to tell him what happened. "I had to page Dr. Trader that night at the Silver Rail. We all knew he drank, but nobody wanted to admit it. I showed him the x-rays. Even I knew that the boy should have been stabilized. But he insisted I was wrong and ... He severed the little boy's spinal cord when he moved him. But it was Dr. Hendricks who covered it all up and threatened to expose my past if I didn't go along. See, when Trader realized what he'd done he gave me the pre-op x-rays and told me to burn them. But I couldn't. I went to Dr. Hendricks instead. I don't know why I thought it would do any good. He's been covering for Trader for years. He took the x-rays and he made me swear that I wouldn't tell anybody that he had them. He said he might be able to use them for insurance." Jarod thanks Gwen for being honest with him and when he's about to go, Gwen tells him, "Dr. Hendricks isn't gonna give you that film. He'd rather die than risk that hospital sale."
IN JAROD'S LAIR, Jarod is sitting at his desk, the phone tucked into his shoulder. He is addressing an envelope while waiting for an answer. When Dr. Trader answers his phone, Jarod asks him to meet him at the Silver Rail, today at noon. Trader agrees. Jarod hangs up and dials another number. He picks up a mortar and pestle and starts grinding some tablets into a fine powder. This time it's Dr. Hendricks he's got on the phone. Jarod asks him if he would be interested in another game of Racquetball with him, today at noon. Hendricks also agrees. Jarod then tips the powder into a bottle of water.
AT THE RACQUETBALL COURT, Jarod and Miles Hendricks have just finished their game. They are both out of breath and it is apparent from their conversation that Jarod has again lost the game. Hendricks asks him to toss over his water. Jarod picks up Miles' water and his own, swapping his into Miles' water cooler. Miles takes a swig and they go to the tiered seating behind the court where Hendricks sits down. He is having trouble getting his breath, holding his hand to his chest in obvious pain. Jarod asks him if he's okay, but Hendricks slumps over. Jarod yells for someone to call an ambulance.
AT THE SILVER RAIL, a waitress informs Dr. Trader that Jarod will be running a little late. Trader accepts the news and orders another drink.
AT THE EMERGENCY ENTRANCE of the Queen of Angels hospital, Jarod jumps out of the back of the ambulance shouting instructions as he follows the gurney carrying Miles. He informs the hospital staff that Dr. Hendricks is having a heart attack and that they should prepare the OR.
IN THE HOTEL LOUNGE, Miss Parker approaches Sydney who is reading a newspaper. She sits opposite him, "You lied to me. Last night you told me that Jarod came here to return the five million. All he really wanted was the mainframe code." "It was the least I could do. He was lied to about his parents. So was I." "Stop pouting. It was need to know. You didn't." She informs Sydney that they tagged Jarod's file and that they have been able to track him to the Queen of Angels hospital. She ushers Sydney to go. As he sees the sparkle in her eyes at the imminence of Jarod's recapture, he states, "The Centre wants him alive." She smiles at him, "Preferably."
IN THE OR AT THE QUEEN OF ANGELS HOSPITAL, Jarod, now wearing hospital scrubs, approaches the operating table and crouches down beside Miles, telling him that they haven't been successful in bringing in a cardiologist fast enough and that Dr. Trader will be there soon to do the operation. Hendricks pleads that Jarod do the operation instead of Trader. Jarod reluctantly agrees. "Okay, okay. Okay, Miles. No problem. But first you tell me where Kevin Bailey's pre-op x-rays are." Hendricks tells him willingly. "Now, you do the operation, Jarod." Jarod smiles his best smug smile, "I'd like to, Miles, I really would, but that wouldn't be ethical. You see, I'm not really a doctor...and you're not really having a heart attack." He good-naturedly pats him on the shoulder, stands up and moves away from the table. Trader steps in to prepare Hendricks for the operation.
In the meantime, Sydney, Miss Parker and a handful of sweepers have arrived at the hospital. Miss Parker instructs them to work their way up. Jarod is not to escape at any rate.
In the OR corridor, Jarod taps on the window of the nurses' station, telling Nicole to page security to stop Dr. Trader's operation because he's drunk. Jarod walks away as Nicole does what Jarod told her.
In Dr. Hendricks' office, Jarod finds the x-rays, removes them and throws his red notebook on the desk. Sydney spots Jarod as he comes out of Hendricks's office. He smiles at him and Miss Parker, turns and runs for the stairs. He speeds up a few stairs to the floor where Mrs Nykos is staying and enters her room. She is standing by the window looking out and engages him in small talk, not realizing his precarious situation. In the corridor, Miss Parker barges into another room, surprising its occupant and visitors. Then, they suddenly hear a cry from one of the other rooms. Miss Parker, Sydney and some sweepers enter the Greek lady's room to find her sitting up in bed, pointing at the open window. She tells them that a man just climbed out of her window and up the fire escape. Miss Parker and the rest of the gang go after him. When everyone has left the room, Jarod emerges from under Mrs Nykos's bed. "Efrahisto," he thanks her in Greek and stops to blow her a kiss before he leaves through the door.
Meanwhile, Miss Parker, Sydney and the sweepers arrive on the rooftop. Sydney, more clued in than the others, runs straight to the edge and looks down just in time to see Jarod getting into a taxi. He smiles up at Sydney and Miss Parker who are watching helplessly, unable to prevent him from leaving. Miss Parker gives Sydney a not too friendly look.
ON THE STREET, Jarod posts Kevin Bailey's x-rays in a public postbox. He walks down the street and looks up at the Empire State Building, glad to be seeing it in person.
AT THE BAILEY RESIDENCE, Kevin's grandfather hands Kevin the envelope from Jarod. Surprised, the boy takes out the x-rays and examines them.
AT THE AIRPORT, Jarod is sitting in the flight lounge, reading a newspaper. A headline on the front page says "Bailey settlement in the millions". An attendant approaches Jarod, telling him he'd better board, otherwise he might miss the flight. Jarod looks at her. "Don't worry. They're not going anywhere without me," he replies and places his cap on his head. He is wearing an airline pilot uniform. He gets up and walks down the tunnel towards the aircraft, pulling his luggage on a trolley behind him.
The Pilot had a different opening prologue than the rest of the show. You can see it under the Report section of this episode.
At the end of this episode, Miss Parker shows a photo of Jarod to two Coast Guards at the dock. The one with the mustache, Mark Dodson, at the time was a physical therapist and a lawyer (pretender in training). Mark went on to become a writer and producer on the series, scribing eight episodes including Quallupilluit and Corn Man.

Emigration refers to the act of leaving one's region or country of origin to settle in another.
Canadian Census
A census is a count of a population in a specific region. In Canada, there are two types of censuses: the Census of Population and the Census of Agriculture. Both are conducted every five years by Statistics Canada, a department of the federal government. The larger of the two censuses, the Census of Population, gathers various demographic information, including where people live, as well as their age, sex, marital status and ethnic origin. This information is used by the government to establish electoral boundaries, to make federal transfer payments (money given to the provinces) and to monitor various social programs and policies (e.g. Canada Pension Plan, health care and education). In addition, the data is available to non-governmental organizations and to the general public; some older data is available to individuals interested in genealogical research.
Death, the irreversible cessation of life, has always intrigued and frightened mankind. Every known culture has attempted to provide an explanation of its meaning; like birth or marriage it is universally considered an event of social significance, amplified by ritual and supported by institutions.
Most demographers, however, devote themselves to studies that go beyond this core; eg, by questioning why purely demographic phenomena (fertility, mortality, nuptiality, age structure) vary and what social consequences may result from these variations.
Contraception, see BIRTH CONTROL.
History of Childhood
Biology and the laws and customs of human culture together govern the nature of human childhood. The ways in which biology and culture come together in children change over time; the story of these changes forms the history of childhood.
Baby Boomers in Canada
Canada's birthrate ballooned from the end of the Second World War until about 1965, thanks to improving economic conditions and a related trend over the same period toward larger families. The result was a 20-year bulge in the population known as the baby boom, a generation whose demographic influence has shaped Canada's economy and society and continues to do so as its members age and move into retirement.
Adoption, is the legal process of severing ties between a child and his or her biological parents (or "birth parents" as they are called today), who are unable or unwilling to care for the child, and creating new ties between a child and people who are not her or his natural parents.
For centuries the law has accepted the cessation of heartbeat and respiration as the determination of death, but now the heart can be removed, the breathing stopped and blood pumped by machines without preventing the individual's resumption of lucid consciousness.
Irish Famine Orphans in Canada
Thousands of children became orphans during the 1847 Irish famine migration to British North America. Public authorities, private charities and religious officials all played a part in addressing this crisis. Many orphans were placed with relatives or with Irish families. A considerable number were also taken in by Francophone Catholics in Canada East, and by English-speaking Protestants in New Brunswick. Although many families took in orphans for charitable reasons, most people were motivated by the pragmatic value of an extra pair of hands on the farm or in the household.
Common-Law Unions in Canada
A common-law union occurs when two people live together in a conjugal relationship, generally for at least a year (or more depending on the province in which they reside). Common-law couples in Canada have many of the same legal, parental and financial rights and obligations as married couples.
French Immigration in Canada
After New France was ceded to Great Britain in 1763, the migration of French colonists slowed considerably. A trickle of clergy members, farmers and professionals settled during the 19th century. However, after the Second World War, French immigration — which was then politically favoured — resumed with renewed vigour. This effort was geared towards recruiting francophone professionals and entrepreneurs, who settled in Canada's big cities. The French spawned many cultural associations and had a large presence in French-Canadian schools.
The licensed or approved care of young children, for all or part of the day, outside the children's own home. The 2 most common types of day care are centre care and family day care.
Population of Canada
Canada's recorded population history begins in the 16th century with the arrival of Europeans and the subsequent depopulation of Indigenous peoples, due largely to epidemic disease. High rates of fertility and immigration caused the country's overall population to grow rapidly until the mid-19th century, when it slowed slightly. Population growth continued to be slow through the First World War, Great Depression and Second World War, following which growth rates began to increase again. Today, Canada's population growth is dependent on international migration. As of the 2016 census, Canada's population was nearly 35.2 million (35,151,728).
Aging is a continual biological, psychological and social process from infancy to old age. Conventionally, the term narrowly refers to the transition from adulthood to old age. Population aging refers to a decline in relative numbers of young people and an increase in relative numbers of old people.
Demography of Indigenous Peoples in Canada
Over 1.8 million people reported having an Aboriginal ancestry, or ancestors with an Indigenous identity in Canada in 2011. More than 1.4 million people (over 4 per cent of the total population in Canada) identified themselves as an Aboriginal/Indigenous person.
Life Expectancy in Canada
This article was originally published in Maclean's magazine on April 10, 2000. Partner content is not updated.
Increasingly in recent years, surveys of mortality rates and other indicators have shown Canadians in some parts of the country to be much healthier than those in other regions. Now, a federal study shows just how dramatically one key indicator - life expectancy - varies among Canada's regions.
Attempts by humans to control their own fertility have included abstinence, contraception, induced ABORTION, surgery such as vasectomy or hysterectomy, and infanticide.

With photorealistic results rivaling traditional offline renderers, Rebirth represents a new way of crafting computer graphics.
The engine is a fork of the Quake II codebase that focuses on serving as a base for standalone games. Unlike other ports, it does not aim at being compatible with mods or the base Quake II game. In fact, many features were removed to reduce the complexity of the codebase and make the process of creating new games on top of the engine easier and faster.

In the Light of Turnip Lanterns
It's been a beautiful fall this year. Now, the leaves have fallen from the trees and the days are getting shorter and shorter. It's once more the season of cozy evenings by the fire or hot punch on the ice skating rink.
Traditionally, these first days of winter mark the beginning of the Christmas season in Switzerland. It also the time when the traditional turnip lantern processions, which we call 'Räbeliechtliumzug' in Swiss German, take place. As soon as it gets dark, kindergarten and primary school kids walk around town with lanterns called 'Räbeliechtli' which they carved from turnips. And no, this is not a Swiss version of Halloween despite the obvious similarities. Let me explain.
Origins of Räbeliechtli
The tradition of making lanterns from turnips has its origins in the celebration of the last harvest of the year. Turnips were amongst the last vegetables harvested and I assume that is why they were originally chosen for this craft. In the circle of the family, children hollowed and carved their turnips and put a candle inside to turn it into a lantern.
How we celebrate Räbeliechtliumzug
Today, turnips are grown almost only for the purpose of lantern-making and the carving mainly takes place in schools or kindergartens. With the help of parents and teachers, the kids carefully empty their turnips and try to carve beautiful patterns on them. Moon and stars are a very popular symbol but sometimes a child prefers a car or a pony. Cutting accidents are quite frequent during those carving hours but I have never heard of any serious injury due to turnips carving. Three strings are attached to the turnips, a candle put inside and the lantern is ready for use.
The schools together with the community government also organize the annual turnips lantern march. The street lights are turned off in most parts of town while the kids walk through it in a long procession with their lanterns.
Typically, there is also a lot of singing involved. Songs such as "I walk with my lantern" have been part of the childhood of most Swiss adults. It is quite an experience for a child to walk through a dark town with only the light of the lanterns shining and I still find it rather beautiful as a grown up.

This post is great, but just to clarify. Beetroot is Beeten, and Turnips are Raeben. :D
Thank you for pointing out my error. You're obviously right. I just did a quick search and indeed, Raeben are turnips and not beetroot. I'll correct it in the article as soon as possible!

A Typical Swiss Birthday Party
Birthday Cake - Helene Souza / pixelio.de My son and I recently attended a birthday party here in Cocachimba , Peru. It was the birthday of one of the kids in the village and since it's such a small place, almost everyone is invited. To be honest, I don't like going to children's birthday parties - or grown up's birthday parties - because there is usually too much noise and fuss and chaos. My husband usually takes it on himself to accompany our son to these birthdays but this time he was away so I had to step in. If you've never been to a Peruvian birthday party, let me tell you one thing: it's loud and crowded! There is dancing and food and once in a while people are trying to say something above the deafening noise of the music. I guess, if you grew up with this it's probably normal and enjoyable but for me it was way too much noise. I could see all the children's ear go deaf in my minds eyes. Argh. Probably one of those cultural differences you
How to Spot a Swiss Person
As an expat one usually spots fellow expats right away. It's not only the language or the looks of people but rather the little peculiarities of life that seem so normal at home that give us away while abroad. Obviously, it's a cliche that all people from the same place (country, city, continent) behave in the same way and I am far from making that claim. However, growing up in a certain surrounding does rub off on people's behavior and some similarities can certainly be observed. This is also true for Swiss people. According to the Swiss stereotype, we are a clean, punctual and strictly organized people. However, there are many exceptions like my Swiss friend who is always late or my brother whose room was a total mess while growing up. Yet, although they do not fit the description of a typical Swiss person, they still have some traits that give them away as Swiss. The same is probably true for myself - if I like it or not. 10 Signs you are dealing with a Swiss Person
Schätzli, Schnüggel and Müüsli - Terms of Endearment in Swiss German
Kiss - Oliver Haja / pixelio.de If you've ever been invited to the home of a Swiss couple, you are probably familiar with the most popular Swiss German term of endearment "Schätzli" ('little treasure') or one of it's many varieties like e.g. "Schatz" or "Schätzeli" . Obviously, this is not the only pet name used by Swiss couples (or parents for that matter). Like many other languages, Swiss German offers a wide variety of words and phrases that you can use to address your loved one. Swiss German Terms of Endearment What most of these pet names have in common is the ending "-li" which basically turns the thing or person a word refers to into something small or cute. For example "Haus" means house and "Hüüs li " means small house. Plus, this ending "-li" can also be added to first names as a means of endearment, e.g. Benjamin li , Esther li or Fabienne li . I tried to come up with a colle

Q: How to compress this mysqldump? i have this script and it works but the output isn't zipped so it's huge. I want to save it zipped but i don't understand shell script and i don't want to mess it up. Can you help me zip it like so: ".sql.zip", please?
/usr/bin/mysqldump -h $mysql_host -u $mysql_username -p$mysql_password $mysql_database > $backup_path/$today/$mysql_database-`date +%H%M`.sql

Any help appreciated.

A: Just 'pipe the output' to gzip
The command would become this:
 /usr/bin/mysqldump -h $mysql_host -u $mysql_username -p$mysql_password $mysql_database | gzip > $backup_path/$today/$mysql_database-`date +%H%M`.sql.gz

A: You can pipe it though gzip (or bzip2, pbzip2, xz, etc...) like so:
/usr/bin/mysqldump -h $mysql_host -u $mysql_username -p$mysql_password $mysql_database | gzip -c > $backup_path/$today/$mysql_database-`date +%H%M`.sql.gz

zip isn't the optimal tool for this job because it stores data as files in an archive (like tar + gzip), where the other tools just compress data.
mysqldump (mysqldump -C) also supports compressed communication which could perhaps make things transfer faster over the network.

A: I think you can just do this.
/usr/bin/mysqldump -h $mysql_host -u $mysql_username -p$mysql_password $mysql_database | gzip -9 -c > $backup_path/$today/$mysql_database-`date +%H%M`.sql.gz
