above the limit ( united states copyright 1902 as chimmie hicks at the races ) is a short film made in november 1900 by f.s. armitage , and marks the film debut of vaudevillian actor charley grapewin , 39 years before his more memorable role as dorothy 's uncle henry in mgm ' sthe wizard of oz .

created by the american mutoscope and biograph company along with its sister film , grapewin 's chimmie hicks and the rum omelet , it was shot in september and october 1900 and released in november of that year for viewing in mutoscope " moving picture machines " ( a format with greater viewing quality than the edison kinetoscope ) as a tale sharing the pitfalls of gambling .

above the limit

in normal english , both
above the limit
and
over the limit
are ordinary expressions .
thank you . you are right . here ' above the limit ' = over the limit ? is there a phrase ' beyond the limit ' , which is the same meaning ?
a gold above than limit , was sucked from the blood vessels ( veins ) .
i think if you want to ask about the use of above / beyond the limit , we can help .
thank you for your reply . now ,
above the limit
and
over the limit
has the same meaning , can you explain the meaning in other wrods ? and how to you express
a gold above than limit , was sucked from the blood vessels ( veins )
in normal english ?
i understand you . but here is my new question , ' above the limit ' and ' over the limit ' both have the same meaning ? they mean ' beyond the limit ' ( not permitted ) ? if you want to say sth is more than the limit , which one should be used ? it was me who asked him to translate literally in order to make me know each word . maybe the translator wants to say , ' they rob gold above the limit . these gold was sucked from the blood veins of working class .
if i say like this , is it a right sentence in english ?
the problem is that ' above the limit ' suggests that there is a certain amount of gold they are allowed to steal . the ' limit ' would be the amount that is was acceptable for them to steal . i don ' t think that is what you mean .
thinking about it a bit more the scatter plot ( limit value ) isn ' t too bad , as we have the values detailed out and we just want a single limit so nothing gets plotted above x . so we only need a single if statement . . . i was trying to think of situations where i want to ' limit ' values ( but might want quite a few ' cuts ' of data below this limit ) .
' they rob gold above the limit . ' by definition , rob or steal are ' above the limit ' because the limit is zero . if i drive my car below the speed limit fixed by law , it is good ; if i drive above the limit , i am breaking the law . so if you say :
they rob gold above the limit
it implies that a small amout of robbing is ok , but beyond that limit , the robbing is not allowed . that makes no sense unless you are merely saying that the limit is zero . another difficulty is that your original post sounded like literal removal of gold from someone ' s veins ( a medical context ) , but in a later post you mention
working class
and seem be to talking figuratively . do you mean literally
gold
or more generally
wealth
? perhaps something like this might be suitable :
they exploited the working class by profiteering
or
they took too much tax from poor people
. but really the situation is : 1 . the original was in arabic , which this forum cannot help with . 2 . the english
translation
you have given seems to make no sense . i think if you want to ask about the use of above / beyond the limit , we can help . i think the arabic translation forum might confirm that
elaborate imagery
( such as
sucking gold from the veins of the working class
) is more common in some language cultures than others .

the examples above all use the default formatting scheme . but there are other formatting schemes that can be specified for interpreting format strings :
: peter , do you know where you are ? above 24 , 000 , you ' re at the vertical limit , you ' re already dying . look at you . you can hardly stand . if you think you can stop me , go ahead .

if the underlying distribution is skewed , say in the positive direction , the 3 - sigma limit will fall short of the upper 0 . 001 limit , while the lower 3 - sigma limit will fall below the 0 . 001 limit . this situation means that the risk of looking for assignable causes of positive variation when none exists will be greater than one out of a thousand . but the risk of searching for an assignable cause of negative variation , when none exists , will be reduced . the net result , however , will be an increase in the risk of a chance variation beyond the control limits . how much this risk will be increased will depend on the degree of skewness .
if variation in quality follows a poisson distribution , for example , for which np = 0 . 8 , the risk of exceeding the upper limit by chance would be raised by the use of 3 - sigma limits from 0 . 001 to 0 . 009 and the lower limit reduces from 0 . 001 to 0 . for a poisson distribution the mean and variance both equal np . hence the upper 3 - sigma limit is 0 . 8 + 3 sqrt ( 0 . 8 ) = 3 . 48 and the lower limit is 0 ( here sqrt denotes
square root
) . for np = 0 . 8 the probability of getting more than 3 successes is 0 . 009 .
it was me who asked him to translate literally in order to make me know each word . maybe the translator wants to say , ' they rob gold above the limit . these gold was sucked from the blood veins of working class .

limits . if so , and if chance causes alone were present , the probability of a point falling above the upper limit would be one out of a thousand , and similarly , a point falling below the lower limit would be one out of a thousand . we would be searching for an assignable cause if a point would fall outside these limits . where we put these limits will determine the risk of undertaking such a search when in reality there is no assignable cause for variation .

both the scatter plot ' limit ' and the ' histogram + ' are controlled by the same parameter , and i ' ve have combined the 2 tricks to colour the points in the scatter plot with their ' bin ' in the histogram ( which is actually quite nice ! ) . the scatter plot limit , is really just a way of controlling the axis range dynamically ( you may also like this one for controlling them the other way ! setting uniform axis including grand totals ) . you do need to be a bit careful with the ' limit ' technique on the box and whiskers and other reference lines . i ' m generally more interested in iqr ( and median ) than average ( . . . love the anecdote about the statistician who drowned crossing a river as the average depth was only 1 meter ! ! ) , so as long as my limit is higher than the iqr ( generally rather than use a parameter i create a calculation on say 10 % above the iqr as this makes it more dynamic ) all will be well . for average though , in the attached you can see i ' ve had to calculate this from my original ( non - limited ) value .

if a single quality characteristic has been measured or computed from a sample , the control chart shows the value of the quality characteristic versus the sample number or versus time . in general , the chart contains a center line that represents the mean value for the in - control process . two other horizontal lines , called the upper control limit ( ucl ) and the lower control limit ( lcl ) , are also shown on the chart . these control limits are chosen so that almost all of the data points will fall within these limits as long as the process remains in - control . the figure below illustrates this .

back to creating the set , i used the new sales - dimension field to create my set . instead of hard - coding values though , i created a condition using the following forumla : [ sales - dimension ] > = [ group everything above . . . ] . this will dynamically update the members of the set based off of the parameter value the user chooses . in the attached workbook , i named this set
fields to group
. not the most exciting name , but descriptive nonetheless .
the if first looks to the set you created to see if it is false . this will return every bin that you want to see broken out , not grouped . for each of these bins , all it does is return the value of that bin , cast as a string . the else statement is a dynamic label that takes whatever cutoff the user put in using the parameter group everything above . . . and concatenates it with a + . this allows for a slightly more descriptive label of 650 + , 750 + , etc . instead of just the minimum bin in your group . it also is the reason you have to cast both bins and group everything above . . . as strings to make it possible for you to concatenate it with a string value .
below is some code that positions the toolbar below the plot . try running the code and changing the
will move the toolbar to outside of the region where the axis is drawn .
before creating the set off of this new field , i also created a parameter called
group everything above . . .
in my experience , i have found it helpful to create a viz that offers flexibility from the beginning rather than trying to add it in later . with the parameter , the user will be able to choose what level they want to group at , making a much more flexible view .
i think , your index ( ) % 50 is restarting for every bin ( i had to use the advanced option to get mine set up correctly with this extra ' bin ' dimension in the view ) , or might be sorted . this means , looking at the chart above , not enough points in the ' higher ' parts of the scatter , so the mod never get ' s to 50 , and so all points are plotted on the left hand side . when the mod divisor is too low , as you ' ve shown the pattern doesn ' t look random .
does this mean that when all points fall within the limits , the process is in control ? not necessarily . if the plot looks non - random , that is , if the points exhibit some form of systematic behavior , there is still something wrong . for example , if the first 25 of 30 points fall above the center line and the last 5 fall below the center line , we would wish to know why this is so . statistical methods to detect sequences or nonrandom patterns can be applied to the interpretation of control charts . to be sure ,
in control
implies that all points are between the control limits and they form a random pattern .

this paper studies the implementation of land use regulations in urban china . in particular , we investigate land developers’ compliance with floor - to - area ratio ( far ) regulations using a unique set of residential land parcel data from 30 major chinese cities matched with the corresponding residential development projects built on those parcels . in our sample , in more than 20 % of the cases , developers built above the regulatory far limits in the ex post land development , and the total floor area built in those cases increased 21 . 5 % over the regulatory limit . our analysis finds that attractive land location attributes tend to induce developers to pursue upward adjustments of far . moreover , developers who are more likely to have special relationships with government officials tend to make larger upward adjustments . our estimates suggest that there exists a significant gap between the privately optimal far that maximizes land value and the regulatory far . this gap is only modestly reduced by corrupt ties with government officials , implying that far regulations have imposed a highly restrictive constraint on china ' s urban land development even given imperfect compliance .

ben this is really cool . . . this is a very elegant solution . . . i ' ll certainly be implementing it in place of my current ( pretty in - elegant ! ! ) solution , in our models . as you say i think this technique could be extended to several situations , especially with the flexibility of changing your n + limit on the fly ( i ' m thinking , off the top of my head , when you want to limmit the values at the extremes of a scatter plot , if you are interested in the variance where most marks reside . . . when there are real extreme values , they are of little interest ( in some situations ) but make the scale so large that there is little ' visual ' variance in the center . . . just a thought ! ) . thanks for sharing

the first step in the process is to create a set for those values you want to group . in the sample - superstore data set , i chose sales as the field i wanted to use . the trick is , as a continuous measure , you cannot create a set . sets are only created off of dimensions . so , i duplicated the sales measure and converted the duplicate to a dimension , renaming it sales - dimension in the process .

letting x denote the value of a process characteristic , if the system of chance causes generates a variation in x that follows the normal distribution , the 0 . 001 probability limits will be very close to the 3 σ limits . from normal tables we glean that the 3 σ in one direction is 0 . 00135 , or in both directions 0 . 0027 . for normal distributions , therefore , the 3 σ limits are the practical equivalent of 0 . 001 probability limits .

tableau has the awesome capability to build bins and instantly create a histogram . however , it comes with a couple limitations . first , you cannot group the bins . as far as i understand it , and i may be completely off on this , the issue has to do with how tableau creates the bins as a new dimension ; the bin itself almost acts as a the group rather than allowing a group functionality .

after creating the set , i needed to create the bins . however , looking forward , i also will need to be able to use these bins in a calculation , so i had to not use tableau ' s built - in binning capability . to manually create the bins , i used the following formula : int ( [ sales - dimension ] / [ bin size ] ) * [ bin size ] . in this case , bin size is another parameter , again , created to provide flexibility with the final view . the calculation works by using the int function to truncate the decimal point off of the returned value ( int ( 4 . 1 ) = 4 ; int ( 4 . 6 ) = 4 ) . then , multiplying by the bin size again will create the relative bins by returning values that will all match due to the truncation . i called this field bins .
. . . i also found this the other day , which really extends the histogram scatter plot idea . . . i think this is amazing !
it is an acceptable practice to base the control limits upon a multiple of the standard deviation . usually this multiple is 3 and thus the limits are called 3 - sigma limits . this term is used whether the standard deviation is the universe or population parameter , or some estimate thereof , or simply a
standard value
for control chart purposes . it should be inferred from the context what standard deviation is involved . ( note that in the u . k . , statisticians generally prefer to adhere to probability limits . )
once you have your bins created and the set made , the last step is to create a calculated field that will act as your bins , showing both the individual bins below your group , as well as the group itself . i built this in a field called custom histogram that looks like so :

since two out of a thousand is a very small risk , the 0 . 001 limits may be said to give practical assurances that , if a point falls outside these limits , the variation was caused be an assignable cause . it must be noted that two out of one thousand is a purely arbitrary number . there is no reason why it could not have been set to one out a hundred or even larger . the decision would depend on the amount of risk the management of the quality control program is willing to take . in general ( in the world of quality control ) it is customary to use limits that approximate the 0 . 002 standard .

a second limitation is that you cannot use the bins in calculations . again , you can use sets , but if this can cause issues if you want to show one level of detail on those values in the set and one level on those values not in the set .
this is not the best of views for many reasons , but one of the main ones is the long tail to the right needed to capture the different sales amounts . normally , in a view with marks rather than bins , it would be possible to highlight all the values to the right and group them to create a view that showed the values up to a certain value , then have a bin that includes everything greater than or equal to that value . however , because you can ' t group bins , a workaround is necessary . i ' ll do my best to document each step to show how i solved this issue . i ' ll also attach the workbook so people can play around with the viz and make improvements . i ' m sure people will come up with much better and more elegant ways to do this . if you do , please let me know so i can learn from you as well !
i noticed that another reviewer scored this one a 10 . well , i choose not to rate it at all . that ' s because the film is only about 50 seconds long and there just isn ' t enough to rate - - which is true of most films from the 1890s and very , very early 1900s . most films during this time were about a minute or two and only give you a small glimpse into the time . in this case , charlie grapewin does a silent monologue as the character chimmie hicks . interestingly , the stage is bare and black and grapewin acts as if he ' s at the race track - - and he is quite convincing in such a minimalist setting . the only other performer is his bookie who is only briefly in the film . through the course of the quick film , you see chimmie at the heights of excitement and depths of despair - - depending on how his horse is doing in a particular race . the acting is pretty exciting to watch and this is a nice historical clip to remember grapewin ' s vaudeville act ( he later was a supporting actor in films ) .

) are displayed in a basic numeric format . however it is possible to control the formatting of values more precisely . fields can be modified by appending a format specified to the end in curly braces . some examples are below .
these are tools that respond to single gestures , such as a pan movement . the types of gesture tools are :
data . like other drawing tools , the renderers that are to be edited must be supplied explicitly as a list .
i ' ve used 25 here , just through experience and the number i choose here depends on the number of marks i have to ' jitter ' . pre - tableau 9 . 0 , i ' d create this as a calculated field , with the divisor ( 25 in this case ) on a parameter so i can adjust until i get the correct look . with ' type - in ' functions in tableau 9 . 0 is easy enough to just alter this number .
panview , if you want to know which english term fits best , tell us what you want the sentence to mean .
model , it is also possible to use javascript to specify a custom formatter that can display derived quantities in the tooltip .
i have also been meaning to test out a minimum grouping as well , allowing a very flexible view that allows you to bookend the two extremes of the data . this would translate very well to a scatter plot . . . hmm . . .
the hover tool displays informational tooltips associated with individual glyphs . these tooltips can be configured to activate in in different ways with a

note that if a column name contains spaces , the it must be supplied by surrounding it in curly braces , e . g .
the reason only using index ( ) in this case works , is that we have the ' bin ' dimension within the ' pane ' ( vizlod ) so your index ( ) number get ' s restarted for each ' bin ' . if we didn ' t have this your index ( ) would just go from 1 to number of marks , per pane and wouldn ' t look random . below is a chart showing the index ( ) for 100 marks , and what their mod would be using mod 25 and mod 50
thanks for the question . i hadn ' t really thought about it in this much depth before , and glad i have ! !
control charts are used to routinely monitor quality . depending on the number of process characteristics to be monitored , there are two basic types of control charts . the first , referred to as a univariate control chart , is a graphical display ( chart ) of one quality characteristic . the second , referred to as a multivariate control chart , is a graphical display of a statistic that summarizes or represents more than one quality characteristic .
actions are operations that are activated only when their button in the toolbar is tapped or clicked . they are typically modal or immediate - acting .
thanks to all of our 2014 camp members who worked so hard on construction , entertainment , hospitality , the camp dinner , camp support , and tear - down / clean - up . special thanks to kevin and twilight for their harrowing and heroic efforts to bring everything back off the playa .
although the html canvas can comfortably display tens or even hundreds of thousands of glyphs , doing so can have adverse affects on interactive performance . in order to accommodate large - ish ( but not enormous ) data sizes , bokeh plots offer “level of detail” ( lod ) capability in the client .
we value the quality of content provided to our customers , and to maintain this , we would like to ensure real humans are accessing our information .
thanks ben , you are very kind ( yes , i find the combination of segoe ui , light grey boarders around bars / circles , medium / light color pallet , and bordering containers does give a nice look ) . . . yes i love the index jitter ( as it ' s known ) . . .
in early april . . . phoenix led the construction efforts , and he and build crew lead ethan spent countless days , nights , and weekends working with dozens of camp volunteers to create our structures . jm spent weeks creating and painting the giant and spectacular laser - cut lattices . despite long odds , it all came together .
glad it helps out . i hadn ' t thought about the application in anything besides a histogram . the idea of hiding extremes on a scatter plot is intriguing ; if you do manage to implement that , i ' d love to see it . i also might shamelessly borrow your idea and see if i can apply it .
if you do end up using this , and your data isn ' t confidential , i ' d love to see the outcome so i can learn from your techniques .
select point ( s ) with shift + tap ( or another selection tool ) then drag anywhere on the plot . selecting and then dragging a specific point will move both .
you can create sets , but the lack of being able to highlight and group has been a frustration where i work since it is so easy to do in other situations .
for example , a data set of 4 , 5 , and 15 sized at bin size 10 will calculate as follows : int ( 4 / 10 ) * 10 = int ( . 4 ) * 10 = 0 * 10 = 0 ; int ( 5 / 10 ) * 10 = int ( . 5 ) * 10 = 0 * 10 = 0 ; int ( 15 / 10 ) = int ( 1 . 5 ) * 10 = 1 * 10 = 10 . these will return a value of 0 , 0 , and 10 , allowing you to use the discrete values returned by the calculation as your own bins . a quick test by dragging bins to the columns shelf , changing it to discrete , and placing cnt ( sales ) on the rows shelf will recreate a the view that tableau would create if you created a histogram using tableau ' s built in capabilities .
select box ( es ) with shift + tap ( or another selection tool ) then drag anywhere on the plot . selecting and then dragging on a specific box will move both .
( side note : feel free to add comments and improve on this explanation of why grouping doesn ' t work . i am not a technical expert on the inner workings of tableau ) .
: my wife died of edema . stripped the skin from her throat , her lungs filled with water . she drowned in her own bodily fluids . yeah , i ' m gonna kill him .
matplotlib is highly customizable , but it can be hard to know what settings to tweak to achieve an attractive plot . seaborn comes with a number of customized themes and a high - level interface for controlling the look of matplotlib figures .
( as always taken from someone far smarter than myself ! ! ! ) . i ' m generally far more interested in variance , and ' typicality ' than averages ( if you ' ve read christian rudder ' s ' dataclysm ' , there ' s a very interesting chapter on people ' s ' average ' attractiveness , vs their variance of attractiveness ' and the effect this has on how many time they are ' messaged ' ) . my boss has also written a great article on the subject
i ' m sure i ' ve just scratched the surface of possibilities like this . like i said before , feel free to use this technique and improve on it , just let me know what you find out so we can all keep getting better at exploring our data .
as a general rule of thumb , i find mod 25 the best for most situations . generally with scatter plots i ' m looking at around 100 - 500 marks per pane ( and less and i might be able to show on a bar chart , any more and i ' ve got too many marks to make a meaningful viz . . . btw this isn ' t a ' hard - and - fast ' rule ! ) and find mod 25 works well , but this has been from trial and error ( very much in the way you have done below ) .

“we operated on him at least 16 times to remove the warts . the hands and feet are now almost fine . he will be discharged within the next 30 days after a couple of minor surgeries to perfect the shape of his hands , ” sen said .
a bangladeshi father dubbed the “tree man” because of the bark - like warts that once covered his body will soon be able to leave hospital after groundbreaking treatment for one of the world’s rarest diseases .
we are pleased to honor judy chicago here by showing some of her most recent work , hands made exclusively of glass ( along with related drawings ) , both cast and fused . for her , the hand conveys strong emotions and deeply held convictions—and we experience this intensity of feeling as we look at these hands below .
the gardener answered ,
last night a spirit came here . it had no hands and ate one of the pears with its mouth .
she stayed in this house for seven years , and was well taken care of . and through the grace of god and her own piety her chopped - off hands grew back .

after the success of the tv series the monoclad mutineer and the 1987 feature withnail and i , paul mcgann is hot . by comparison , british thrillers of recent years have had rather less fire in their bellies , and in tree of hands , mcgann finds himself trudging through another such offering from a ruth rendell novel - which is all plot and no pace .
building a fleet of 1 , 000 vessels in a short time would require tens of thousands of workers .
absence of marriage line or upward bending of it till it touches the base of little finger , indicates lifelong singlehood .
what can that be but my apple tree ?
thought the miller , said yes , and signed it over to the strange man .
there are those books that you read and enjoy and then forget . tree of hands has stayed with me for years . like all of rendell ' s books , it is uncomfortably dark and cynical . she never hesitates to lure readers to sympathize with miscreants and then punish the characters . her books are like tense drives on a dangerous mountain road .
bajandar initially thought the warts were harmless , but they eventually covered his hands and feet , forcing him to stop working .
so here i am , with 1 , 000 ships ,
euron grins ,
and two good hands .
during a party , everyone shook hands with everyone else . there were 66 handshakes . how many people were at the party ?
abul bajandar has undergone at least 16 operations to remove 5kg ( 11 pounds ) of growths from his hands and feet since his condition came to doctors’ attention a year ago .
after it was dark the king entered the garden , bringing a priest with him who was to talk to the spirit . all three sat down under the tree and kept watch . at midnight the girl came creeping out of the brush , stepped up to the tree , and again ate off a pear with her mouth . an angel dressed in white was standing next to her .
since then he has had 16 procedures to restore his hands , and will undergo a few more before he is released from the hospital .
father ,
she said ,
do with me what you will ,
stretched forth her hands , and let him chop them off .
just beyond your dreams lives a secret world . where every tree is a home . every sound is a song . and humans exist only in fairy tales . until now . . .
the miller was horrified and answered ,
how could i chop off my dear child ' s hands ? no , i will not do it .
thus he still could not approach her , and he spoke angrily to the miller ,
chop off her hands . otherwise i cannot get to her .
the king who owned this garden came the next morning . he counted the fruit and saw that one of the pears was missing . he asked the gardener what had happened to it . it was not lying under the tree , but had somehow disappeared .
the 27 - year - old former rickshaw driver is one of only four people in the world to be diagnosed with epidermodysplasia verruciformis , an extremely rare genetic condition dubbed “tree - man disease” that left him unable to hold his three - year - old daughter .
as you enter the theater , actors clad in neutral grey courteously greet you , lead you to a basin , and solemnly help you wash your hands . the splashing water provides the only sound in the hushed , neutral - colored space dominated by pale bluish greys — the better to contrast with the blood that will flow in shaking the tree theatre’s annual halloweenish horror show .
as i have stated elsewhere , i am a fan of rendell ' s books although i have to tread warily with them as they are often extremely unsettling in a way different from most psychological thrillers . i had read this book many years ago and another goodreads friend ( have forgotten who ) was mentioning rendell so i pulled this one off my shelf for a reread . at the moment , i think that tree of hands is one of her best . it has all the twists and turns one expects from her : multiple plotlines and disparate c
lal sen told cnn last february that bajandar first noticed the lesions when he was 10 . over time , the growths completely encompassed his hands , stealing his livelihood as a rickshaw driver and making him the subject of international news .
the miller was frightened and did what he was told . the next morning the devil returned , but she had wept into her hands , and they were entirely clean .
jermaine fowler and omari hardwick of sorry to bother you take us back in time to the worst jobs of their careers .
because the devil still could not approach her , he was very angry , and ordered the miller ,
chop off her hands , so i can get to her .
these are tentative figures , friel stressed , but they do give a sense of the scale of ecological disaster building 1 , 000 wooden ships in a short space of time would cause .
like many of o . henry ' s short stories , a surprise ending awaits readers of ' hearts and hands . ' the story is set on a train to denver . an elegantly attired woman named miss fairchild is seated on the train when two men arrive and take the seat facing her . it quickly becomes apparent that the woman knows one of the men .
the tireless threesome crosses the divide into the tree house village with a sheet - rope , a barrel , and some serious climbing skillz from the travster ( who still almost gets chomped to death by the zombie horde ) .
check out highlights from some of the best recent trailers including mandy , the predator , zoe , and the king of thieves .
( cnn ) the
tree man
is no longer . thanks to some groundbreaking surgeries , he can go back to being abul bajandar , a 27 - year - old father and husband from a small town in bangladesh .
the grimms ' primary source for the version of 1812 was marie hassenpflug ( 1788 - 1856 ) . the version of 1819 shows the influence of dorothea viehmann ( 1755 - 1815 ) and others .
oh , husband !
said the woman , terrified .
that was the devil . he didn ' t mean the apple tree , but our daughter , who was just then standing behind the mill sweeping the yard .
she answered ,
dear father , do with me what you will . i am your child ,
and with that she stretched forth both hands and let her father chop them off .
both of these are valid points that i can ' t really counter . there ' s no way of telling exactly how much time passes in the game of thrones world , and the acquisition of euron ' s 1 , 000 - strong fleet happens off - screen .
the miller was frightened and did what he was told . the next day the devil returned , but she had wept into her hands and washed herself with her tears , and was entirely clean .
even this doesn’t account for all the timber used , because hundreds of other pieces of wood were also used for the work , plus boards and other items bought readymade ,
he continued .
however , the 3 , 900 number gives a rough rule - of - thumb figure of just under three trees felled per ton of ship .
the magical inhabitants of a rainforest fight to save their home , which is threatened by logging and a polluting force of destruction called hexxus .
] our world was much larger then . the forest went on forever . we tree spirits nurtured the harmony of all living things , but our closest friends were humans . then , as sometimes happens , the balance of nature shifted . hexxus , the very spirit of destruction rose up from the bowels of the earth , and rained down his poison . the forest was nearly destroyed , many lives were lost and the humans fled in fear , never to return . most believe they did not survive . it was only . . .
nevertheless , as with any production involving the portland theater power trio of imaginative director samantha van der merwe , and irresistible actors beth thompson and matthew kerrigan , you should see head . hands . feet . — though not to be terrified , but to have your terrors cleansed .
speaking from his bed at the hospital , which has been treating him free of charge , bajandar said the pain of his condition had been unbearable .
he answered ,
it comes from an strange man whom i met in the woods and who promised me great treasures if i would but sign over to him that which stands behind the mill . we can give up the large apple tree for all this .
instead of showing her actual process of regaining her sense of self , though , this version portrays the maiden ( poignantly played by nikki weaver ) as entirely subject to the whims of the ( male ) devil and her father , only to be rescued first by some tree people and then the king , whom she immediately trusts despite having been misled by old nick that the king wants her mutilated or worse . here’s an instance where a tale ( whether in the original or in this recasting ) that strives to be pro - female winds up disempowering its title character . it’s hard to feel much satisfaction in the salvation of a passive protagonist .
he took her home with him to his royal castle , and because she was so beautiful and pure he loved her with all his heart , had silver hands made for her , and took her as his wife .
the man did that , after which he said to her ,
go to that thick tree over there and wrap your maimed arms around it three times !
and when she had done this , her hands grew back on . then he showed her a house .
you can live there ,
he said ,
but do not go outside , and do not open the door for anyone unless he asks three times to come in , for god ' s sake .
the gang wanders down the path for a while before stumbling upon another village . mary knows it was gabrielle ' s village , though it ' s also been overrun by zombies . while the rest of the gang escapes into the tree house part of the village ( zombies aside , shmoop wants to go there ) , mary and travis end up stuck in a big ol ' house together . alone . ah , shucks .
one of her best . amazing , heartfelt characters . sad , fateful plot .

movement of creatures you summon via summon nature’s ally is not reduced in undergrowth .
you can summon the aid of creatures driven their very nature to destroy goodness .
actually , the gore isn’t portrayed realistically but symbolically ; head . hands . feet . is by no means a fright fest . in fact , the first half consists of fairy tales , although anyone’s who’s read non - victorian - sanitized ancient tales knows how really , ah , grim and gory they can be .
and by cutting — dismembering — so many of iphigenia’s lines , the adaptation robs her of agency in her own fate , turning her into just one of a giggly gaggle of teenagers , a figure as passive as the handless maiden — another victim of paternal betrayal , another title character who’s less protagonist than subject , in another story ostensibly about a woman’s triumph that winds up being more about a man’s choices .
to save her ill son , a field mouse must seek the aid of a colony of rats , with whom she has a deeper link than she ever suspected .
the one which is deeper and darkest of all is your marriage line . if it is right in the middle of the base of little finger and your heart line , then it means the person will get married in his / her 25th year .
jones explained that during this period there were some examples of big fleets being gathered .
this frightened the father , and he promised to obey him . then he went to the girl and said ,
my child , if i do not chop off both of your hands , then the devil will take me away , and in my fear i have promised him to do this . help me in my need , and forgive me of the evil that i am going to do to you .
i did not come here to become queen ,
she said .
i have no luck , and i demand none . just tie my child and my hands onto my back , and i will set forth into the world .
she entered the garden , and the angel went with her . she saw a fruit tree with beautiful pears , but they had all been counted . she stepped up to the tree and ate from it with her mouth , enough to satisfy her hunger , but no more . the gardener saw it happen , but because the angel was standing by her he was afraid and thought that the girl was a spirit . he said nothing and did not dare to call out nor to speak to the spirit . after she had eaten the pear she was full , and she went and lay down in the brush .
for a tv movie , this one was very good . a woman ' s son dies and due to some awful circumstances , she ends up taking care of a little boy who looks alot like her dead son . i won ' t spoil the ending here , but the plot moves along at a nice pace and the film has a really nice ending . if you like drama , this is a nice one . i wish i could find the film on tape . lifetime cable channel has been known to rerun it from time to time , but the film has been renamed innocent victim for some unknown reason . i like the original title better . this film was based on the novel

she had the chopped - off hands tied to her back , and she set forth with the rising sun , walking the entire day until evening , when she came to the king ' s garden . there was a gap in the garden hedge . she went inside , found a fruit tree , shook it with her body until the apples fell to the ground , bent over and picked them up with her teeth , and ate them . thus she lived for two days , but on the third day the garden watchmen saw her , captured her , and threw her into prison .

he is one of the more persuasive roles in this uneven london - based psychological thriller which finds benet ( helen shaver ) coming to terms with the unexpected death of her child , and the ministrations of her manic - depressive mother ( lauren bacall in fine twitchy form ) . after the funeral , bacall impulsively snatches a toddler of the street and brings him back to benet as a palliative .
o . henry ' s ' hearts and hands ' is a story of mistaken identity involving miss fairchild , mr . easton , and the marshal who is escorting easton on a train to leavenworth for the crime of counterfeiting . the marshal misleads miss fairchild into believing that easton is the marshal , apparently in an effort to allay easton ' s embarrassment at meeting an old acquaintance while he is in shackles . one astute passenger realizes that easton is actually the prisoner , and the other man is the marshal . like many of o . henry ' s works , this touch of irony , or when writers portray an event or character in a surprising and unexpected way , completes the story .

' ' hearts and hands ' ' by o . henry is a story about two acquaintances who meet on a train . when mr . easton encounters miss fairchild , he is handcuffed to another man . one passenger on the train , however , realizes that things are not as they seem .
really well done ! two parallel plot lines , involving two separate sets of characters , that eventually intersect . also , rendell does that unsettling thing she ' s a master of - - making an everyday person , whom we might very well rub shoulders with , into a bit of a ' crazy . '
surprised and confused the first part of the story is rather a shocker . what follows is quite a jumble of characters and their odd deceitful behavior . i made it through to the end and was glad it was over . there are lots of great authors and books to be found . this one was a disappointment .

another fantastic and engrossing tale from the pen of ruth rendell / barbara vine . usually i think the vine titles are more satisfying , but this one was up there with them ! as usual from this author we get a collection of well drawn characters who are mostly quite strange , an unlikely but theoretically possible plot , lots of tension , and some ambiguities . i was gripped throughout . still don ' t understand who shot a couple of the characters though . . . .

yet in the same sense it was a little confusing , with a few seemingly unrelated plotlines coming together only at the end . at least one of these plotlines still seems out of place to me , like written in as an afterthought to bulk up the book .
the total size of the project team would probably be 50 + , though not all would be working at the same time .
for a man with little besides
rocks and bird shit
at his disposal , it ' s one hell of a stretch .

a miller fell slowly but surely into poverty , until finally he had nothing more than his mill and a large apple tree which stood behind it . one day he had gone into the forest to gather wood , where he was approached by an old man , whom he had never seen before , and who said ,
why do you torment yourself with chopping wood ? i will make you rich if you will promise me that which is standing behind your mill .
i did a bit of digging and spoke to some historians and ship - building experts to find out if it ' s actually possible .

if van der merwe had added a couple more such folk tales and skipped the intermission , head . hands . feet . might have made a more cohesive production . instead , after we returned from the scrumptious cake and wine at intermission , everything changes : the tone , storytelling style , even the kind of source material . the shift from airy fairy tale atmosphere to weightier , conventionally staged greek drama , with dialogue replacing narration , makes for a longer , heavier night than you might expect from the first half or stt’s previous halloween shows .
historians don ' t know the total number of trees felled to build the 500 - ton trinity royal , friel explained , but they do know it took 3 , 900 trees to build the 1 , 400 - ton grace dieu — the largest of henry v ' s fleet .
the third and most powerful segment , by contrast , shows how to effectively update an ancient tale with modern values by transforming the classic version of h . c . anderson’s “the red shoes” from a warning about a girl’s vanity , addiction and compulsion into a critique of social repression . the sight of the girl’s gaudy footwear causes a conservative , judgmental fundamentalist southern congregation to confront their own hidden , socially disapproved desires , with predictable consequences .
after a year the king had to go out into the battlefield , and he left the young queen in the care of his mother , saying ,
if she has a child , support her and take good care of her , and immediately send me the news in a letter .
this is unquestionably one of rendell ' s most disturbing novels . . . it took years before i could bring myself to re - read it .
“bajandar’s cure was a remarkable milestone in the history of medical science , ” said samanta lal sen , plastic surgery coordinator at dhaka medical college hospital .
my sense is that game of thrones is set in a quasi medieval world with technology and a social structure that ' s roughly what you ' d find in 13th / 14th century europe ,
dr evan jones , a specialist in maritime history at the university of bristol , told mashable .
a family of emigre mice decide to move out to the west , unaware that they are falling into a trap perpetrated by a smooth talking cat .
i got over 100 pages into the book , but i just couldn ' t finish it - - the only two characters i had feeling for were both in a mess of trouble , there wasn ' t even a murder yet (
just
a kidnapping - - not really a spoiler alert since it ' s on the back cover - - for which one of those two characters either was being blamed or was going to be blamed ) , and the tension of worrying about the unjust suspicions , the element of mental illness , and worrying whether one of the two characters i liked was either going to murder or going to be murdered , was too much for me . this is by no means to say that the book was ill - written ; i have enjoyed reading rendell ' s books before . it is merely that this type of suspense provokes sick anxiety in me , rather than anticipation . i hope whomever i pass it along to gets more out of it . but at least i was able to provide a cover image for this edition !
if your marriage line begins from the mount of mercury , heads upwards crossing fate line and life line , it indicates marriage to wicked or characterless person .
i listened to this over a couple of evenings and it certainly kept me up and awake . this is almost perfect rendell , bearing the trademark of her best tales - a braided plot that pulls together disparate characters and classes , clever misdirection , and deep and violent emotions . constantly surprising and psychologically acute , this was both very easy to be gripped by , but also full of interesting observations made on raw life as lived in gritty , realistic london . marvellous .
on this basis , a total of 250 , 000 hectares of forest would be needed to build the 1 , 000 - ship fleet , or 2 , 500 sq km . that’s equivalent to 139 epping forests or a wood that is one - and - a - half times bigger than greater london .
that certainly rings true of today’s endless wars , maybe all wars . and plenty of modern day adaptations of classics purposely present a more enlightened , or at least more contemporary twist on old stories . but if you’re going to update an ancient tale to make a more modern point , you still have to do it in a way that’s emotionally truthful . and this interpretation so contradicts the events of the ancient tale that it rings false . its portrayal of clytemnestra as devoted and loving wife , shocked that her husband would consider killing his daughter , runs completely counter to the feelings a woman would have for the brute who had earlier murdered her mate , ripped her just - born child from her breast , dashed its brains out on the ground , and forced her into a non consensual marriage .
excellent , as ruth always is ! the strange and tortured psychology of ordinary people , told in an extraordinary way . i wish i could write like her .

the thing is , not every ship in the fleet is going to be 500 tons . there are variety of sizes needed to perform different tasks — fighting , reconnaissance , storage , patrolling , etc . — and friel explained the average weight of a ship in henry v ' s fleet was probably more like 250 tons .
white knights are superior to black knights . 2 white knights can handle 3 black knights . how many knights do we need for an army of 981 black knights ?
the action of the play begins with dionysus ' s return to thebes years later . he arrives in town disguised as the stranger , accompanied by a band of bacchants , to punish the family for their treatment of his mother and their refusal to offer him sacrifices . during dionysus ' s absence , semele ' s father , cadmus , had handed the kingdom over to his proud grandson pentheus . it was pentheus ' s decision to not allow the worship of dionysus in thebes . dionysus tells the audience that when he arrived in thebes he drove semele ' s sisters mad , and they fled to mt . cithaeron to worship him and perform his rites on the mountainside .
i love books that have multiple plot lines that throw you for a loop until they are all nicely tied together . this is one of those books . it is dark and disturbing and definitely shows the not so nice side of people . it doesn ' t have the happy ending , so if you are looking for that look elsewhere .
every time i finish a ruth rendell book , i swear i ' m not going to read another . her villains really get under my skin and take up residence in my mind . then one of my subscription services offered a few of her titles at a low price , and i found myself seduced into buying them . i ' m glad i did because i found out that that they aren ' t all straightforward murder mysteries , but they all show her wonderful ability to craft unforgettable characters . chief among them is a woman whose young son dies in hospital . her mad mother kidnaps a replacement child , and the woman cannot force herself to return him . the second character is the boyfriend of the missing child ' s mother , who is suspected of killing him . third is a former boyfriend of the child ' s mother , who is planning his greatest theft and getaway . by the end of the book , rendell has wrapped up all three of the stories in this most intricately plotted ending that is still satisfying . now that i realize that ms rendell can write a book without unbalanced killers , i am more willing to take a chance on her . especially at $ 1 . 99 each .
but still . given the figures above , euron ' s
build me a thousand ships
speech starts to look more and more ridiculous . at a push it might be believable to say a couple of years have passed between seasons 6 and 7 ( enough time to allow for the 15 - month ship building period + time for euron to stock up and sail to king ' s landing ) , and i guess it ' s feasible that he could have forced tens of thousands of people to build for him .
this a strange rendell book . it also is perhaps , the most emotionally driven in terms of plot . while rendell , especially when she writes under the barbara vine tend to be mysteries of the psyche , this book is more about psyche and emotion . it is also in some ways , the one where you root for what in other cases would be a villain simply because that character really isn’t bad . at the very least , rendell makes you consider the meaning of the terms bad and good . crossposted at booklikes .
edna o’brien’s adaptation , written during yet another war in the middle east , turns turns a play about noble self sacrifice into an anti war tragedy about patriarchal society valorizing dreams of martial glory above the true love of wife and family . agamemnon prioritizes his brother’s pride and family’s wounded honor over his own daughter’s life . her sacrifice is the wrong choice .
then she had her mutilated arms tied to her back , and at sunrise she set forth , walking the entire day until it was night . she came to a royal garden , and by the light of the moon she saw that inside there were trees full of beautiful fruit . but she could not get inside , for there it was surrounded by water .
the ship that you cite [ the one seen leading euron ' s procession in season 7 , episode 1 ] looks to combine aspects of vessels dating between the 1300s and 1500s , with some elements that are purely imaginary ,
friel explained .
at a very rough guess , in medieval english terms it would be a vessel of about 500 tons .
dionysus , the god of wine , prophecy , religious ecstasy , and fertility , returns to his birthplace in thebes in order to clear his mother ' s name and to punish the insolent city state for refusing to allow people to worship him . the background to his return is presented in the prologue , in which dionysus tells the story of his mother , semele , once a princess in the royal theban house of cadmus . she had an affair with zeus , the king of the gods , and became pregnant . as revenge , zeus ' s jealous wife hera tricked semele into asking zeus to appear in his divine form . zeus , too powerful for a mortal to behold , emerged from the sky as a bolt of lightning and burnt semele to a cinder . he managed , however , to rescue his unborn son dionysus and stitched the baby into his thigh . semele ' s family claimed that she had been struck by lightning for lying about zeus and that her child , the product of an illicit human affair , had died with her , maligning her name and rejecting the young god dionysus .

i was really looking forward to reading this , as flipping through the first few pages i was happy to see skillful , unique writing . but ultimately it was far too stressful for me . i cannot conceive of benet not going to the police after discovering jason was kidnapped . ( and honestly , what is jason going to do about adulthood when he doesn ' t even have a birth certificate ) ? it was too much for me . i ' ll read more of ruth rendell , however , as she seems to be on top of her game .
