Kowski Kar Klean

**Kowski Kar Klean** was the car cleaning store that Matt Wheeler worked in. It was an old petrol station put into the hillside on a steep road. It had steam-jet cleaners and vacuums on one half of the place and the other half was boxed in with folding glass doors where posher cars were kept in overnight (BMWs and Mercedes) and outside were less posh cars (Fords and Vauxhalls). The company also had a website. It was around ten minutes from Hickson house if you ran and around twenty if you walked.

## Layout

The old station shop was an office and, above that, a flat where Matt lived.

## Rats

There was once an infestation of rats that had moved into some old boxes at the back of the garage - Matt had always wanted a pet but his family didn't agree. Dave Wheeler poisoned them all a week later.

## Behind the scenes

* In the German edition of *Night Speakers* - *Das Erwachen*, Kowski Kar Klean is translated as 'KOWSKIS GLANZAUTOS' which can be translated to 'KOWSKI'S SHINY CARS' or 'KOWSKI'S GLOSSY CARS'

It's the same with performance. You had a bad experience...but try to remember all the *good* experiences. Remember the church service at Christmas, when you sang the solo. How did that go?'*"

Records: Individual Immunity Wins

**\*Rankings are updated through *Survivor: Behemoth*\***
After the merge, where there is only one existing tribe, the remaining contestants compete in individual challenges to seek possession of the Immunity Necklace, which guarantees safety at Tribal Council for its bearer. Unlike the tribal Immunity Idol, which gives exemption to its host, the incumbent wearer of the necklaces still must attend Tribal Council and cast a vote, but that player cannot be voted out. On some occasions, Individual Immunity has been played for during the pre-merge stages of the game (Usually this occurs during Double Tribal Councils).

The below chart shows who won the most individual immunities throughout multiple seasons they have played. It is overall compared to per season.

Angular gyrus

Angular gyri on a brain map

The **angular gyrus** (plural **angular gyri**) were two parts of the brain which helped with languages and lit up when communication was happening inside the head. Humans who were Night Speakers had more activity going on in theirs meaning these parts of their brain were bigger than normal people's.

Dark-light

**Dark-light** was a dark essence that sucked the light from a given location. It was almost a wave of negative light that re-balanced the world after lots of light was let in.

## Warehouse

When Elena Hickson, Matt Wheeler and Tima Bahar were investigating the Sentry SuperSacks factory at Quarry End, the door, once the beautiful, singing light had left, glowed with a dark red/blue/purple colour. This darkness was the anti-light and it came with an anti-sound. The lines of the light also reached out, grabbing and touching the insects which lay on the floor, mesmerised by the original light. The anti-light made the eyes of these animals go red and become lifeless.

## Residence

Elena and Matt, along with his starling Lucky found out that the dark-light in Quarry End came from the Quarry End cave in a manhole. It came in streaks and from there got out of the cave and to the factory door.

Capítulo 5. Autoestima Infantil

Muchas veces pensamos que lo que en un momento se quebró ya
no tiene arreglo, en este capítulo vemos que una autoestima lastimada puede ser
reparada, nada está perdido y tenemos todo por ganar.

En este capítulo el Dr. Pepe Cruz nos habla de cómo estamos
formados desde las llamadas “Constelaciones familiares” es decir desde nuestra
familia, desde nuestro hogar. Un niño debe recibir amor, afecto, para que
aumente su parte positiva del ser, su autoestima, hacerlo sentir valioso. Las
discusiones, los problemas, los malos tratos afectan al infante, le provocan
herida que quedaran ara siempre, heridas que golpean directamente su
autoestima.

Si bien es malo vivir en un ambiente familiar inestable no
es totalmente desastroso, el dolor en la infancia tiene de positivo el
enfrentarnos a la realidad a temprana edad, a ver las cosas y actuar con
madurez. Algo que tenemos que tener mucho en cuenta es que independientemente
del pasado oscuro o no, entendamos que tenemos la capacidad de decidir sobre el
futuro, de cambiar, de perseguir lo que queremos y de conseguirlo, la capacidad
de transformar el dolor en amor.

Este capítulo gira entorno a dos ejes.

·
Todo ser tiene la capacidad de transformar su
realidad: todo depende de lo que nosotros querremos en nuestras vidas y lo que
no, todo depende de lo que queremos cambiar.

·
Ser libre: Tú tienes que saber que es lo
correcto, que es lo que quieres hacer, tienes el poder de darle el valor a tu
vida y que valor le quieres dar.
Dark-light god

The **dark-light god**, named by Haralabos aggelopoulos, and previously nicknamed DL, first named by John gratias , was the god that came to the fire escape door of the Sentry sugar warehouse at Quarry End every night at 1:34 a.m. It killed many animals and humans, in one case, the human jun lee. The eyes of these individuals turned red. It was made of dark-light which came out of the Quarry End cave once the beam had passed.

Ibuprofen

**Callie Hickson** was the mother of Elena Hickson. She had bipolar disorder and had to be fed pills (ibuprofen and quetiapine) - she got scared often after seeing the news/reading things online which was why her house had no internet connection.

## Fears

Elena once wondered whether her mother was agoraphobic. She commented that she didn't want that as her mother was already afraid of:

* Global warming
* Flu pandemics
* Tsunamis
* Meteor strikes
* Conservative government getting back in
* Rising house prices
* Falling house prices
* Conservative government not getting back in
* Fracking
* Ash tree dieback
* Bee colony collapse
* Anthrax
* Too many immigrants
* Not enough immigrants
* Getting eaten alive by bears (after a couple dying in the Canadian wilderness)

These were just what Elena could remember.

Kew Gardens

Palm House at Kew Gardens

**Kew Gardens** was a botanical garden. Elena Hickson once went there on a school trip where she had seen tube-like flowers entice ants in before drowning them in acid and stopped them escaping. Elena thought the same fate would happen to her and Matt Wheeler when they were stuck in the Quarry End cave with the starling Lucky. The walls were too slippy and dark-light was threading out to get them.

## Behind the scenes

* Kew Gardens is a real botanical garden in London. Elena lived in Thornleigh so it's likely her school visited this place.

Night Speakers (people)

**Night Speakers** were people who were left out in the wild for a week in a row by their parents and would then, if they survived, would be able to communicate with animals. Elena Hickson suspected she, Tima Bahar and Matt Wheeler were Night Speakers and so had bigger angular gyri. This allowed for more language activity in the brain which meant Night Speakers could speak and understand languages without any prior knowlege.
