Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions
Body language is a vital form of communication. In fact, it is believed that the various forms of body language contribute about 70 percent to our comprehension. It is important to note, however, that body language varies in different cultures. Take for example, eye movement. In the USA a child is expected to look directly at a parent or teacher who is scolding him/her. In other cultures the opposite is true. Looking directly at a teacher or parent in such a situation is considered a sign of disrespect.
Another form of body language that is used differently, depending on the culture, is distance. In North America people don't generally stand as close to each other as in South America. Two North Americans who don't know each other well will keep a distance of four feet between them, whereas South Americans in the same situation will stand two to three feet apart. North Americans will stand closer than two feet apart only if they are having a confidential conversation or if there is intimacy between them.
Gestures are often used to communicate. We point a finger, raise an eyebrow, wave an arm – or move any other part of the body – to show what we want to say. However, this does not mean that people all over the world use the same gestures to express the same meanings. Very often we find that the same gestures can communicate different meanings, depending on the country. An example of a gesture that could be misinterpreted is sticking out the tongue. In many cultures it is a sign of making a mistake, but in some places it communicates ridicule.
The dangers of misunderstanding one another are great. Obviously, it is not enough to learn the language of another culture. You must also learn its non-verbal signals if you want to communicate successfully.
What is the passage mainly about?
A. Misunderstandings in communication
B. Interpretations of gestures in different cultures
C. The significance of non-verbal signals in America
D. Non-verbal communication across cultures
The word "misinterpreted" in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _________
A. mispronounced
B. misbehaved
C. misspelled
D. misunderstood
The word "it" in paragraph 3 refers to_________.
A. the country
B. an example
C. sticking out the tongue
D. making a mistake
As stated in the last paragraph, in order to communicate successfully with people from another culture, it is advisable for a person _________
A. to use the body language of the people from that culture
B. to learn both the language and non-verbal signals of that culture
C. to learn only non-verbal signals of that culture
D. to travel to as many countries as possible
Which form of body language is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. distance
B. posture
C. gesture
D. eye movement
What picture do you have of the future? Will life in the future be better, worse or the same as now? What do you hope about the future?
Futurologists predict that life will probably be very different in 2050 in all the fields, from entertainment to technology. First of all, it seems that TV channels will have disappeared. Instead, people will choose a program from a 'menu' and a computer will send the program directly to the television. Today, we can use the World Wide Web to read newspaper stories and see pictures on a computer thousands of kilometers away. By 2050, music, films, programs, newspapers and books will come to us by computer.
In what concerns the environment, water will have become one of our most serious problems. In many places, agriculture is changing and farmers are growing fruit and vegetables to export. This uses a lot of water. Demand for water will increase ten times between now and 2050 and there could be serious shortages. Some futurologists predict that water could be the cause of war if we don't act now.
In transport, cars running on new, clean fuels will have computers to control the speed and there won't be any accidents. Today, many cars have computers that tell drivers exactly where they are. By 2050, the computer will control the car and drive it to your destination. On the other hand, space planes will take people halfway around the world in two hours. Nowadays, the United States Shuttle can go into space and land on Earth again. By 2050, space planes will fly all over the world and people will fly from Los Angeles to Tokyo in just two hours.
In the domain of technology, robots will have replaced people in factories. Many factories already use robots. Big companies prefer robots - they do not ask for pay rises or go on strike, and they work 24 hours a day. By 2050, we will see robots everywhere - in factories, schools, offices, hospitals, shops and homes.
Last but not least, medicine technology will have conquered many diseases. Today, there are electronic devices that connect directly to the brain to help people hear. By 2050, we will be able to help blind and deaf people see and hear again. Scientists have discovered how to control genes. They have already produced clones of animals. By 2050, scientists will be able to produce clones of people and decide how they look, how they behave and how much intelligence they have
The word "This" in paragraph 3 refers to _________.
A. the possible war
B. the cash crop planting
C. the serious shortage
D. the demand for water
The word "domain" in the fifth paragraph is closest in meaning to ................
A. way of life
B. interest
C. field of expertise
D. challenge
The word "conquered" in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to _________.
A. controlled
B. diagnosed
C. transmitted
D. caused
What may NOT be true about life in 2050?
A. Many forms of entertainment will come to us thanks to computer
B. Blind and deaf people will be helped by scientists to see and hear again
C. Scientists will be able to produce clones of people and decide how intelligent they are
D. Our sources of water for agriculture will increase ten times
The passage mainly discusses_________
A. The effect of the futurologists' prediction on our lives
B. The effect of telecommunication on our future life
C. The changes in our future life compared with our life today
D. The importance of cloning in the future
We can conclude from the passage that in 2050 _________
A. people will be able to travel around the world in two hours
B. fewer cars will be used to keep the environment green and clean
C. no one will be injured or die because of accidents
D. space planes will take the place of cars as a means of transport
What can be inferred about the life in 2050 according to the passage?
A. Life in 2050 will be much better than that of today
B. TV will be an indispensable means of communication and business
C. People will not suffer from the shortage of water due to the polar melting
D. The deaf will not have to depend any longer on the electronic hearing devices

Background: Cervical cancer is a major public health problem in Malawi. The age-standardized incidence and mortality rates are estimated to be 75.9 and 49.8 per 100,000 population, respectively. The availability of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine presents an opportunity to reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with cervical cancer. In 2013, the country introduced a school-class-based HPV vaccination pilot project in two districts. The aim of this study was to evaluate HPV vaccine coverage, lessons learnt and challenges identified during the first three years of implementation. Methods: This was an evaluation of the HPV vaccination project targeting adolescent girls aged 9–13 years conducted in Malawi from 2013 to 2016. We analysed programme data, supportive supervision reports and minutes of National HPV Task Force meetings to determine HPV vaccine coverage, reasons for partial or no vaccination and challenges. Administrative coverage was validated using a community-based coverage survey. Results: A total of 26,766 in-school adolescent girls were fully vaccinated in the two pilot districts during the first three years of the programme. Of these; 2051 (7.7%) were under the age of 9 years, 884 (3.3%) were over the age of 13 years, and 23,831 (89.0%) were aged 9–13 years (the recommended age group). Of the 765 out-of-school adolescent girls aged 9–13 who were identified during the period, only 403 (52.7%) were fully vaccinated. In Zomba district, the coverage rates of fully vaccinated were 84.7%, 87.6% and 83.3% in year 1, year 2 and year 3 of the project, respectively. The overall coverage for the first three years was 82.7%, and the dropout rate was 7.7%. In Rumphi district, the rates of fully vaccinated coverage were 90.2% and 96.2% in year 1 and year 2, respectively, while the overall coverage was 91.3%, and the dropout rate was 4.9%. Administrative (facility-based) coverage for the first year was validated using a community-based cluster coverage survey. The majority of the coverage results were statistically similar, except for in Rumphi district, where community-based 3-dose coverage was higher than the corresponding administrative-coverage (94.2% vs 90.2%, p < 0.05), and overall (in both districts), facility-based 1-dose coverage was higher than the corresponding community-based (94.6% vs 92.6%, p < 0.05). Transferring out of the district, dropping out of school and refusal were some of the reasons for partial or no uptake of the vaccine. Conclusion: In Malawi, the implementation of a school-class-based HPV vaccination strategy was feasible and produced high (>80%) coverage. However, this strategy may be associated with the vaccination of under- and over-aged adolescent girls who are outside of the vaccine manufacturer's stipulated age group (9–13 years). The health facility-based coverage for out-of-school adolescent girls produced low coverage, with only half of the target population being fully vaccinated. These findings highlight the need to assess the immunogenicity associated with the administration of a two-dose schedule to adolescent girls younger or older than 9–13 years and effectiveness of health facility-based strategy before rolling out the programme.

The integration of graphics processing units (GPUs) into real-time systems has recently become an active area of research. However, prior research on this topic has failed to produce real-time GPU allocation methods that fully exploit the available parallelism in GPU-enabled systems. In this paper, a GPU management framework called GPUSync is described that was designed with the goal of increasing parallelism in mind. GPUSync can be applied in multi-GPU real-time systems, is cognizant of the system bus architecture and affinity among computational tasks and GPUs, and fully exposes the parallelism offered by modern GPUs, even when closed-source GPU drivers are used. In empirical evaluations presented herein involving real-world applications, GPUSync improved real-time response times by three times or more, on average, making previously unschedulable workloads schedulable.

Your operating system wants to speak to you, but do you know how to listen? Every operating system, application, and device on your network generate logs (events) to let you know what is happening. OSSEC collects, analyzes and correlates these logs to let you know if something wrong is going on (attack, misuse, errors, etc). Do you want to know when an application is installed on your client box? Or when someone changes a rule in your firewall? By monitoring your logs, OSSEC will let you know of that.
OSSEC is composed of multiple pieces. It has a central manager monitoring everything and receiving information from agents, syslog, databases and from agentless devices.
The manager is the central piece of the OSSEC deployment. It stores the file integrity checking databases, the logs, events and system auditing entries. All the rules, decoders and major configuration options are stored centrally in the manager, making easy to administer even a large number of agents.
The agent is a small program installed on the systems you desire to monitor. It will collect information on real time and forward to the manager for analysis and correlation. It has a very small memory and CPU footprint by default, not affecting with the system's usage.
Agent security: It runs with a low privilege user (created during the installation) and inside a chroot jail isolated from the system. Most of the agent configuration is pushed from the manager, with just some of them are stored locally on each agent. In case these local options are changed, the manager will receive the information and will generate an alert.
For systems that you can't install an agent, OSSEC allows you to perform file integrity monitoring on them without the agent installed. It can be very useful to monitor firewalls, routers and even Unix systems where you are not allowed to install the agent.
That's it. Ossec server installation completed.now I can can browse to http://www.sathish.com/ossec-wui. The default user and password are: ossec/ossec.
That's it. OSSEC client installation completed. Now i can browse to http://www.sathish.com/ossec and see messages from my new OSSEC client.

Laura Pergolizzi, better known by her initials LP, released Heart to Mouth, her fifth studio album, a few months ago via BMG. She's performing in a sold-out show at the Lincoln Theatre on Feb. 19, but you can see a second show by LP at 9:30 Club on Wednesday, Feb. 20.
"When I get on the mic and start doing melodies, I can feel that direct line from my heart to my mouth. In the past, there was a city full of streets that needed my attention. Now, I feel like I have a major highway to communicate emotion from. Whether they're sadder songs or big anthems, they all come from the same place," LP said in a statement.
Watch the official music video for "Recovery" by LP on YouTube:
In a review of the new album, the Associated Press said "LP is really that good."
"Over the course of a dozen new songs, the diminutive singer works in enough different styles to draw comparisons to some of the world's greats — and yet she doesn't sound quite like any of them," the AP said. The review added, "Heart to Mouth succeeds because she sings with such uncloaked passion and urgency. Her big voice conveys the same don't-care-what-you-think confidence as the album's cover photo."

Seit der Saison 2013 wird ein neuer Volvo V40 D5 mit Biodiesel-Antrieb eingesetzt. 2016 gewann Heico Sportiv das 6-Stunden-Rennen auf dem Nürburgring in der Klasse "alternative Kraftstoffe". Aufgrund der massiven Zunahme von Werks- und Kundensportautos entschied sich Heico Sportiv am Ende der Saison 2016 die Motorsportaktivitäten einzustellen.

Bekannte Fahrzeuge
Internationalen Bekanntheitsgrad erreichte Heico Sportiv seit 2001 durch die Umsetzung von Concept-Fahrzeugen und Sonderserien. 2005 präsentierte man mit dem "HEICO HS4 ODIN" das erste eigene Komplettfahrzeug auf Basis des Volvo S40, der beim Auto Bild Supertest auf der Rennstrecke in Oschersleben sogar kurzfristig schnellster Fronttriebler aller Zeiten war. 2006 folgte im Auftrag von Volvo Cars of North America der "HEICO HS3 THOR" (Volvo C30 T5 Basis), 2007 im Auftrag der Volvo Car Corporation das "HEICO HS8 High Performance Concept" (Volvo S80 T6 Basis) und der "HEICO HS3 T5" (Volvo C30 T5 Basis) mit einem auffälligen, orangefarbenen Innenraum. Die Fahrzeuge wurden eigens für die SEMA Show in Las Vegas gebaut. 2010 folgten die limitierten Sondermodelle Volvo S60 T6 und Volvo V70 T6 by HEICO SPORTIV (je 100 Fahrzeuge) für Volvo Car Germany, 2013 die Volvo V40 Sport200 Edition für die Volvo Automobile (Schweiz) AG. Darüber hinaus leistete Heico Sportiv Projektarbeiten für Volvo Cars Special Vehicle. 2013 folgte die Premiere des Volvo V40 T5 "HPC", ausgestattet mit Allradantrieb und 350 PS. 2017 knackte Heico Sportiv mit einem Leistungskit für den Volvo S60 und V60 Polestar erstmals die 400-PS-Marke.

Flat file is a very common method to transfer data from one system to another. We will learn the basic in how to use flat file as an inbound data and send to another system. In this example I will read the flat file and transform it into xml file and write into a folder. The sample flat file is shown as below. And I will use "|" as a delimiter between fields and new line as a delimiter between records.
You can start creating the BizTalk Project by following these steps.
1. Create a flat file schema.
2. Set the Root delimiter as new line characters "0x0D 0x0A". Make sure the delimiter type is Hexadecimal.
3. Set the child delimiter as "|" and make sure the delimiter type is Character.
4. Create a Map and select the source schema and destination schema. In this sample they will be the same.
5. Map the source schema to destination schema.
7. Create the receive port and port type. Choose the correct schema for receive port.
8. Create the receive message and send message and assign the correct schema.
9. Transform the received message into send message by using the map.
10. Create the send message object, send port and send port type. Assign the schema to the send port.
11. Set the Activate to True for Receive Message control.
12. Create a custom pipeline.
13. Deploy the project and create the Receive Ports, Receive Locations and Send Ports.
14. Drop the flat file into the folder which is assign to the receive port location and you will get the output file as shown in the figure in your send port location folder.

Buy this Ring Nebula Flower photo. High quality Spitzer space picture, poster, slide, or Duratrans backlit transparency. NASA photograph PIA07343. Wide variety of sizes.
Click to see selection as Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) - March 11, 2005
NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope finds a delicate flower in the Ring Nebula, as shown in this image. The outer shell of this planetary nebula looks surprisingly similar to the delicate petals of a camellia blossom. A planetary nebula is a shell of material ejected from a dying star. Located about 2,000 light years from Earth in the constellation Lyra, the Ring Nebula is also known as Messier Object 57 and NGC 6720. It is one of the best examples of a planetary nebula and a favorite target of amateur astronomers.
The "ring" is a thick cylinder of glowing gas and dust around the doomed star. As the star begins to run out of fuel, its core becomes smaller and hotter, boiling off its outer layers. The telescope's infrared array camera detected this material expelled from the withering star. Previous images of the Ring Nebula taken by visible-light telescopes usually showed just the inner glowing loop of gas around the star. The outer regions are especially prominent in this new image because Spitzer sees the infrared light from hydrogen molecules. The molecules emit infrared light because they have absorbed ultraviolet radiation from the star or have been heated by the wind from the star.

Auctioneer Henry Wyndham fields bids for items from the Dowager Duchess of Devonshire's collection at Sotheby's in London.
More than 1,000 bidders fought over the late Dowager Duchess of Devonshire's private collection in an auction that raised almost £1.8m.
The salesroom at Sotheby's London was packed for the sale of 465 lots of the Duchess's possessions.
Deborah, known as Debo, was a huge fan of the arts and counted John F Kennedy, Lucian Freud and Winston Churchill among her friends.
During her time as chatelaine of the Chatsworth Estate the Duchess accumulated a wide range of rare and interesting possessions, from Elvis Presley memorabilia to fine art.
The pre-sale estimate for the entire collection was between £500,000 and £700,000. But Wednesday's sale attracted huge interest, and the final total was £1,777,838.
A statement from the Duchess's family said: "Deborah, Duchess of Devonshire was always interested in and excited by the auction process, so we can guess how much she would have enjoyed today's sale. It was very pleasing to see her personal collection received so warmly at Sotheby's.
The late Dowager Duchess of Devonshire's possessions are auctioned by Sotheby's of London.''Lot 11 - A Japanese gilt-decorated lacquer guardian figure, Meiji Period, late 19th century, sold for �62,500.
The items offered at auction came from The Old Vicarage, an 18th-century house in Edensor, a village on the Chatsworth Estate, where the Duchess spent the last 10 years of her life.
Chairman of Sotheby's Europe Henry Wyndham was auctioneer for much of Wednesday's sale. He said: "Deborah, Duchess of Devonshire represented the last of a special era – I can't think of anyone left who has quite the same charisma.
Many of the Duchess's possessions sold for significantly more than their original estimates.
The most expensive item was a Japanese gilt-decorated lacquer guardian figure, dating from the Meiji period in the late 19th-century, which was acquired by the Duchess's grandfather, Algernon Bertram.
From an estimate of £20,000 to £30,000, it eventually sold for £62,500.
Another top seller was a first edition copy of the Duchess's friend Evelyn Waugh's best-known novel, Brideshead Revisited, distributed by the author to his inner circle. It is one of 50 pre-publication copies, and is one of only a small number of which were inscribed by the author.
The book sold for £52,500.
Further down the list but just as interesting was the Duchess's collection of Elvis Presley memorabilia, including a novelty telephone previously installed in the Blue Drawing Room at Chatsworth.
The lot was estimated to sell for between £500 and £1,000, but eventually went for £4,375.

Q: Innerjoin With Where Clause? $InnerJoinQuery = $STD->query("
        SELECT Users.ID, Users.Username, Users.Password, UserInformation.LastName, UserInformation.Firstname, UserInformation.DOB
        FROM Users AS Users
        INNER JOIN UserInformation AS UserInformation
        ON Users.ID = UserInformation.UserID WHERE Users.Username=".$_SESSION['real_name']."");
        $InnerJoinArray = $InnerJoinQuery->fetch_array(MYSQLI_ASSOC);

My Above code is causing an error. It works up to the point of my WHERE Clause.
WHERE Users.Username=".$_SESSION['real_name']."
How can i Impliment this into my innerjoin?
Update:
$InnerJoinQuery = $STD->query("
        SELECT Users.ID, Users.Username, Users.Password, UserInformation.LastName, UserInformation.Firstname, UserInformation.DOB
        FROM Users
        INNER JOIN UserInformation
        ON Users.ID = UserInformation.UserID WHERE Users.Username = '".$_SESSION['real_name']."'");
        $InnerJoinArray = $InnerJoinQuery->fetch_array(MYSQLI_ASSOC);

        $_SESSION['UID'] = $InnerJoinArray['ID'];
        $_SESSION['Password'] = $InnerJoinArray['Password'];
        $_SESSION['Firstname'] = $InnerJoinArray['Firstname'];
        $_SESSION['LastName'] = $InnerJoinArray['LastName'];
        $_SESSION['DOB'] = $InnerJoinArray['DOB'];
            print_r($_SESSION);

This returns:

Array ( [real_name] => inhumaneslayer [Password] => [UID] => [Firstname] => [LastName] => [DOB] => )

Which is not expected.
When I change my Query To:
$InnerJoinQuery = $STD->query("
        SELECT Users.ID, Users.Username, Users.Password, UserInformation.LastName, UserInformation.Firstname, UserInformation.DOB
        FROM Users
        INNER JOIN UserInformation
        ON Users.ID = UserInformation.UserID WHERE Users.Username = 'inhumaneslayer'");

I get the expected result:

Array ( [real_name] => inhumaneslayer [Password] => PASSWORDHIDDEN [UID] => 5 [Firstname] => xx [LastName] => xx [DOB] => DOBHIDDEN )

Which is expected.
I am unsetting session by unset($_SESSION); prior to changing the SQL

A: You have to enclose the string in quotes:
... Users.Username='".$_SESSION['real_name']."'")

Also - you need to escape the variable properly. How exactly you would do that - depends on the DB library you use. In your case it's http://php.net/manual/en/mysqli.real-escape-string.php
... Users.Username='". $STD->real_escape_string($_SESSION['real_name']) ."'")

But better - learn how to use prepared statements http://php.net/manual/en/mysqli.prepare.php
$stmt = $STD->query("
        SELECT Users.ID, Users.Username, Users.Password, UserInformation.LastName, UserInformation.Firstname, UserInformation.DOB
        FROM Users AS Users
        INNER JOIN UserInformation AS UserInformation
        ON Users.ID = UserInformation.UserID WHERE Users.Username=?");

$stmt->bind_param("s", $_SESSION['real_name']);

$stmt->execute();
$result = $stmt->get_result();

$InnerJoinArray = $result->fetch_array();

A: Using @zerkms Comment I Done His changes and: Returning blank, when I change to WHERE Users.Username='test'"); it returns a result, $_SESSION['real_name'] is properly being set

A: you're forgetting the (single/double) quote around your string (you are looking for a string, not integer?)
Try: ".... WHERE Users.Username='".$_SESSION['real_name']."'")
otherwise, the way you had it, it would search for
WHERE Users.Username=some_string (instead of Users.Username='some_string')which will return an error since some_string is a string and it needs to be wrapped in quotes

If still no results:
try putting your query in a variable $query = "SELECT Users .....";
Then echo $query and see what your $_SESSION variable is actually producing. Without knowing that, there's not much more I can do to help.

News and views from Janet Frame's literary estate
Jane Campion on top of her game
It's Jane Campion's birthday today and she has plenty to celebrate. She is, I hope, enjoying all the well-deserved praise for her compelling new TV mini-series Top of the Lake which has just completed its season here in her native New Zealand. It made riveting and harrowing viewing. The production was beautifully filmed, judged and acted. Pace is a particular strength of a Campion project: she is never in a hurry. There was so much you have come to expect of the classic New Zealand movie: gorgeous but somehow sinister landscape, eccentric characters, gallows humour (literally), rough diamonds, crazy crowd scenes and at least one charismatic psychopath. And more, of course. Top of the Lake is television raised to a work of art and so of course comparisons have been made with Campion's celebrated earlier mini-series, An Angel at my Table, which was a slightly fictionalised adaptation of Janet Frame's three-volume autobiography.
I was very much struck by the resonances between the strong lead character Robin and the earlier eventually triumphant Janet. Both were victimised, misunderstood, marginalised, struggling against brutally patriarchal institutions and individual bullies, and yet with a stubborn persistence to survive and an ability to get back up again after a setback. The message is hope and perseverance. I wasn't the only viewer to notice the similarities between Robin and Janet. In 'Jane Campion's first great miniseries' (Slate), June Thomas lists some of the similarities between the damaged but battling young women lead characters, and suggests that the character of Robin has been influenced by Campion's knowledge of Frame's life:
"It also seems that Campion, who wrote Top of the Lake with Gerard Lee, internalized some of the details of Frame's life when she set out to create her newest fictional world."
Here's where I disagree. Rather than Jane internalising Janet, and projecting Janet onto Robin, I suggest that Jane is projecting onto Robin the same preoccupations and obsessions that she projected onto Janet in Angel. In an earlier blog post 'How much Jane is there in Campion's Janet?' I discussed this hypothesis and I referred to the work Alistair Fox has done in teasing out the evidence for this creative process in his book Jane Campion: Authorship and Personal Cinema (2011).
However the mysterious process of creating art comes about, from the interweaving of material from the artist's life with the illuminations given by their imagination in the service of the fictional story and in the pursuit of the themes and the tropes and the 'hauntings' (as Frame called it) of the artist, we the reader and the viewer can only marvel to be presented with another masterpiece.

A new German book club edition
German bookclub edition of An Angel at My Table:
Ein Engel an meiner Tafel by Janet Frame (Büchergilde Gutenberg, 2013)
"Eine der bedeutendsten Schriftstellerinnen unserer Zeit."
Deutschlandradio Kultur
"Man wird sofort in Janet Frames Universum hineingezogen, in dieses wahnwitzige Wechselspiel aus Euphorie und Traurigkeit, kindlicher Sprachfreude und schierer Verzweiflung."
"Ich bin begeistert von Janet Frame. Sie ist tot, weshalb ich mich als Schwede schuldig fühle, dass sie nie den Nobelpreis bekommen hat."

"witty, erudite and profound" (Sunday Star-Times)
Sunday Star-Times 14 April 2013 (Page E32)
Review by Steve Walker
In the Memorial Room by Janet Frame:
"among the most impressive of her already imposing oeuvre"
"it explores a range of ideas that were central to her life and work"
"an unparalleled exhibition of all her skills - comic, satirical, poetic and profound"
"It is a formidable work. It is also amusing and satirical, poetic and provocative - a real joy to read."
"well worth reading" (NZ Listener)
Reviewing the review
There's another new review of Janet Frame's In the Memorial Room, but it's behind a pay wall, sorry.
If you don't subscribe to the NZ Listener and can't read this review by Associate Professor Peter Simpson of Auckland University, then you really won't have missed any useful insights into the novel itself. The review is mostly concerned with searching for the biographical Frame in her fiction, as well as making speculations about its real life inspirations and jumping to false conclusions about its composition. (Simpson inexplicably and with no evidence whatsoever, erroneously claims Frame would not have viewed the novel as finished. She viewed it as finished all right. But why spoil the long cultural history re Frame of just making things up?)
The novel itself is as overlooked by this review as the proverbial wood is overlooked for the trees.
If you want an insight into the politics of 'NZ Lit', or if you're curious about how an academic can take a vibrant coherent work of literary art and suck the life out of it by trying to second guess the individual components, then by all means pay a few dollars and marvel at the same phenomenon that dogged Frame in her lifetime. (Frame described her perception of certain academic approaches as having left her own books "lying alongside them like shrivelled skins".)
'Riviera redux' was written by the first of the elderly male professors of NZ literature to weigh in on the new Janet Frame novel, and exactly as I predicted, this really funny and cleverly composed work of fiction is firstly interpreted as an attack on the Katherine Mansfield Fellowship. Witness the bold subheading to the review:
"The Menton writers' fellowship falls under the sharp, sometimes even cruel, eye of Janet Frame in this posthumously published comic novel."
I was surprised at the proposition that "the Menton writers' fellowship" was the subject of this novel. It's a novel! It's fiction! As well as searching for the biographical Frame, Simpson searched for the biographical Mansfield and he didn't find her, but curiously, he did find her biographical fellowship. And, oh dear, Frame has been "cruel" to the personified fellowship?
There is a Menton fellowship in the novel but surely it's a fictional fellowship not a biographical one?
One really is reminded of CK Stead's public outburst in 1974 when Frame's friends dared to complain on her behalf about the substandard conditions she endured as Katherine Mansfield Fellow. Frame herself had not at that stage complained publicly about the inconveniences she suffered due to the incompetent administration of the fellowship, but two of her friends did speak out in the pages of the NZ Listener. In the same forum, Stead counter-accused the complainers of "selective malice", of "extravagant overstatement" and that their "attack" on the fellowship conditions "amounts to an attack on the fellowship itself".
Which response in turn, seems an extravagant and malicious overstatement. The storm in a Vegemite jar that was whipped up by the simple complaint about the frustrations Frame encountered seems very likely to be one of the reasons that Janet Frame withheld this novel from publication in her lifetime. If the blokes could turn so nasty when she mentioned that it was inconvenient not to have a toilet and not to be paid on time, then how would they respond to a black comedy satirising (among other things) the cult of a dead author and the superficiality of literary hangers-on?
By the way, it's not a bad review. Simpson is a highly regarded and reputable literary critic, and he is entitled to his opinion of course. He thinks the book is "well worth reading", and notes the "deliciously acerbic satire". But unfortunately he doesn't seem capable of shrugging off all of NZ Lit's historical baggage enough to take this novel at face value, as a novel. What a lot he missed by searching for gossip and for biography (and, possibly, well-primed by his social network to detect an "attack" on the Menton fellowship).
Simpson concludes his review by having a buck either way on whether or not Frame's 13th novel deserved to see the light after nearly 40 years:
"Its publication will probably neither greatly enhance nor damage her reputation."
What could he mean?
If it won't damage and it won't greatly enhance, I'm guessing he has judged it as up to par for the high bar Frame set herself?
Possibly. Or maybe he is aware that if he pronounces on either side of the fence, he'll be chastised at the next cocktail party he attends.
I'm intrigued by the obsession of certain reviewers and commentators to pronounce on whether a reputation will be enhanced or damaged by posthumous publication. You rarely hear this touching concern from a real fan. In my opinion the reputation will always be set by the greatest work, whether or not that was published before or after death. And some of the greatest writers and works of literature were published posthumously. And some of those took a while to emerge from out of the fog of their contemporary politics.

"like finding an unwrapped gift" (NZ Herald)
The first online review (that's not hidden behind a paywall, anyway) of In the Memorial Room is out today, and it's a good one!
Saturday 27 April 2013 NZ Herald
In the Memorial Room by Janet Frame Review by Paula Green
"Reading this is like finding an unwrapped gift long-hidden at the back of the wardrobe. The novel is quite unlike anything else Frame penned, yet she is recognisable in every pore of every sentence and of every word."
"This novel is like a prism that becomes something other as the light changes. It is a comedy, then fable, satire, then autobiography and, overall, uplifting fiction."
"This is a novel layered with vulnerability, intelligence, pain, joy and finely judged humour. I loved it - there is much to offer those familiar with Frame's work and a perfect starting point for those yet to read one of our treasured writers."
It's gratifying to see how well Paula Green 'gets' this dazzling book, even noting Frame's deliberate parody of vogue European writing styles.
This 13th and last novel from Janet Frame is out from Text Publishing in Australia and New Zealand.
US edition from Counterpoint available in the northern hemisphere fall of 2013.
Note: The marvellous photograph of Janet Frame illustrating the NZ Herald review was taken for the NZ Listener by Jane Ussher, one of New Zealand's foremost portrait photographers.
In Search of Janet Frame's New Zealand
American author Aaron Hamburger recently visited New Zealand 'in search of Janet Frame's New Zealand' and wrote five fascinating and moving reports for the Matador Travel Network on his experience as a literary pilgrim:
My trip, which had nothing to do with backpacking, surfing, hobbits, or sheep.
"I was going to trace the life of one of my literary heroes, Janet Frame, who is perhaps New Zealand's greatest writer. Her inspirational story was recounted first in her masterful autobiography, and then in the moving film adaptation An Angel at My Table by another extraordinary Kiwi artist, director Jane Campion."
Dunedin Railway Station:
"Ah, yes. Janet Frame," he said. "Angel at My Table. Amazing film. Wasn't that with Kate Winslet? When she was just starting out?"
"No, you're thinking of Heavenly Creatures," I said.
"I'm sure it was Kate Winslet," he said.
A former workplace:
Along the way back into town, I passed the Grand Hotel, where Frame had once worked as a waitress while writing stories and poems in her spare time. The once elegant restaurant had since been turned into a rather sad casino.
56 Eden Street, Oamaru:
Taking a last look at the house from the other side of the fence, I felt something stir in my chest. Such a small, simple, non-descript, pale yellow house, in a small, simple New Zealand town that few people had ever heard of. It was from here that Janet Frame had drawn a lifetime of inspiration. She was perceptive enough to notice its everyday magic that everyone else had overlooked.
If such an ordinary place could have served as the foundation for such an extraordinary career, then surely there was enough fodder in my own life to sustain me if I was just willing to look hard enough.
Seacliff Mental Hospital:
The Seacliff Asylum for Lunatics (as it was called at the time) was established in 1879 and was built to resemble a sprawling Scottish castle in the Gothic Revival style, surrounded by lush gardens. It was set on top of a hill with a view of the sea through the trees that surround the property. If you hadn't known better, you might have assumed it was a resort.
However, the portrait Frame drew of Seacliff in her writing is unmistakably horrific. She describes the wardens as at best indifferent and at worst sadistic. Patients were beaten for wetting the bed or threatened with radical medical treatments, ranging from electroshock therapy all the way to neutering and lobotomy.
Patients were shuffled from beds to dayroom to electroshock treatment like consumer goods rolling down a factory assembly line, which may explain how Frame was misdiagnosed for so many years. In fact, at one point, her prose, with its loose stream of consciousness style and unusual metaphors, was held up as confirmation of her insanity.
The fact that Frame had actually published a book was not enough to prevent an overeager doctor to schedule her for a lobotomy. It was only after she made newspaper headlines when the book won a literary prize that the lobotomy was canceled, with only days to spare.
Takapuna Beach:
I stopped at the beach, where 50 years ago, Janet Frame had sat, staring anxiously at the volcano island of Rangitoto as Sargeson read one of her stories, the moving "An Electric Blanket." (He damned it with faint praise as "quite good of its kind," and she never showed him her drafts again.)
Frank Sargeson's shack:
While living with Sargeson, Frame wrote and sold her first novel, Owls Do Cry. One of the books at the house contained a copy of the strikingly timid cover letter Frame had composed asking her first publisher to consider her novel:
Maybe it could be published, though I understand publishing in New Zealand is in a bad way at present. Shall I send it to you?
Which, I wondered, was in a worse way: publishing in 1950s New Zealand or 2013 New York City?
(Excerpts from 'In Search of Janet Frame's New Zealand' by Aaron Hamburger, Matador Network April 2013.)
Between My Father and the King
My father fought in the First World War that used to be called 'Great' until the truth of its greatness was questioned and the denial of its greatness accepted. My father came home from the war with a piece of shrapnel in his back, remnants of gas in his lungs, a soldier's pay book, an identity disc, a gas mask, and a very important document which gave details of my father's debt to the King and his promise before witnesses to repay the King the fifty pounds borrowed to buy furniture: a bed to sleep in with his new wife, a dining table to dine at, linoleum and a hearthrug to lay on the floor, two fireside chairs for man and wife to sit in when he wasn't working and she wasn't polishing the King's linoleum and shaking the King's hearthrug free of dust; and a wooden fireside kerb to protect the hearthrug, the linoleum and my father and his wife from sparks when they sat by the fire.
Read the rest of Janet Frame's short story 'Between My Father and the King' in the Manchester Review.
The collection Between My Father and the King will be released in the USA on the 14th May 2013 by Counterpoint Press.
Publication day prize draw (NZ Book Council)
See the New Zealand Book Council Facebook page to enter a prize draw for one of ten copies of In the Memorial Room courtesy of Text Publishing.
It is publication day in New Zealand and Australia. Here at last is the novel Janet Frame knew she wouldn't have been able to get away with in her lifetime, not without the critics coming down on her for daring to 'undermine' the Katherine Mansfield Fellowship and satirise literary society and its hallowed institutions.
Ironically Janet Frame herself has never escaped the barbs of stringent criticism, malicious gossip and the humiliation of a widespread sniggering attitude in her homeland. Her detractors have been careful to vigorously root out any tendency they have observed to honour her achievements, reserving a special revulsion for any hint of "reverence". Certain novelists and playwrights have viciously satirised and misrepresented Janet Frame with impunity, and they haven't waited 50 years to do it either, they haven't even waited ten years since her death in 2004.
Frame wrote this novel in Menton in the South of France beset by obstacles and frustrations. There were delays in receiving the Katherine Mansfield Fellowship payments and there were trying writing conditions at the room.
Frame and certain supporters initiated one of NZ's notorious literary stoushes by complaining publicly about the substandard conditions in the Memorial Room at that time (which subsequently improved markedly).
As Frame's biographer Michael King noted in Wrestling with the Angel: A Life of Janet Frame, she wrote to previous fellow Margaret Scott from Menton:
"The lack of lavatory and running water is my chief problem. I'm trying to do all I can to see that this state of affairs doesn't go on as it has done for — five? — years now."
But when the substandard conditions were exposed by Frame's friend Anton Vogt in a NZ Listener feature, there was a backlash. CK Stead replied that such a complaint "amounts to an attack on the Fellowship" and that the campaign (in the light that some improvements were planned) - "seems quite pointless." Apparently the glitterati of the day resented Frame's discomfort. Frank Sargeson remarked sarcastically that clearly he'd escaped being lambasted for the lack of a toilet in the backyard hut Frame had rented from him 20 years beforehand.
Privately, Frame said she was being attacked because she didn't have a penis:
"I was criticised because I did not like peeing in the garden as there was no toilet and no water. In short I was criticised because I was not a man with a man's physical facilities for a quick pee."
(from Janet Frame in Her Own Words, Penguin NZ, 2011)
Just one of the aspects of In the Memorial Room is the hilariously portrayed patronising attitude that Janet Frame herself so often encountered. It's coolly observed and captured, and cleverly lampooned.
But this delightful novel contains so much more than that.
"Frame at her sparkling best."
A brilliant black comedy
It's a thrill like no other when the advance copy of a new book arrives.
Janet Frame's 13th novel offers all sorts of pleasures!

A literary executor is the person entrusted with caring for the literary estate of a deceased author. How did I get to be Janet Frame's literary executor? Because she asked me to do it and I agreed. She was my aunt, and close friend. I had the relevant experience and post-grad qualifications for the job. I knew and loved her work. She appointed me as one of the founding trustees of her charitable trust, The Janet Frame Literary Trust, and named me as co-executor of her will.
Pamela Gordon & Janet Frame 2003


season have been away matches and neither has been a particularly great performance. At home it's been a different story does the home crowd really give the team an advantage?
provided to the hosts can be a distraction that can (and hopefully does) throw off their game.
The rolling chants of WHITE & CAPS from the opposite sides of the pitch are followed by the end to end taunting of each, the Southsiders and the Northgate All-stars, supporter's group, to see who was the better bigger booster all create a great supportive atmosphere in Empire Field.
Although this match against Chivas wasn't the best performance by the Whitecaps, they managed to hold the visitors off the goal. Did the support of the crowd give them just that little but extra. Both teams had chances, but 'keeper Jay Nolley kept the Whitecaps in the hunt by consistantly denying Chivas' attempts. As Coach Tietur Torteson keeps tinkering with the line due to suspensions and injury the players don't seem to have gelled and don't appear to trust the players on the pitch with them. Miscconnections and fumbled calls have led to missed goal opportunities or free kicks going against them. Hopefully a regular line-up will appear soon to get that 'finish' that they're missing presently plus ensure the fans have something to cheer about.
We want to continue to see lively crowd bringing the now standard cacaphony to the stands. Now if we can just get them to travel well and deal with the away fans…we'll have a winning combination!
