"You refuse?" cried the Princess, with a frown.
"Of course I do," was the reply.
"Then," said Langwidere, "I shall lock you up in a tower until you decide to obey me. Nanda," turning to her maid, "call my army."
Nanda rang a silver bell, and at once a big fat colonel in a bright red uniform entered the room, followed by ten lean soldiers, who all looked sad and discouraged and saluted the princess in a very melancholy fashion.
"Carry that girl to the North Tower and lock her up!" cried the Princess, pointing to Dorothy.
"To hear is to obey," answered the big red colonel, and caught the child by her arm. But at that moment Tiktok raised his dinner-pail and pounded it so forcibly against the colonel's head that the big officer sat down upon the floor with a sudden bump, looking both dazed and very much astonished.
"Help!" he shouted, and the ten lean soldiers sprang to assist their leader.
There was great excitement for the next few moments, and Tiktok had knocked down seven of the army, who were sprawling in every direction upon the carpet, when suddenly the machine paused, with the dinner-pail raised for another blow, and remained perfectly motionless.
"My ac-tion has run down," he called to Dorothy. "Wind me up, quick."
She tried to obey, but the big colonel had by this time managed to get upon his feet again, so he grabbed fast hold of the girl and she was helpless to escape.
"This is too bad," said the machine. "I ought to have run six hours lon-ger, at least, but I sup-pose my long walk and my fight with the Wheel-ers made me run down fast-er than us-u-al."
"Well, it can't be helped," said Dorothy, with a sigh.
"Will you exchange heads with me?" demanded the Princess.
"No, indeed!" cried Dorothy.

There is in that land a haven that is named Avallónë, for it is of all cities the nearest to Valinor, and the tower of Avallónë is the first sight that the mariner beholds when at last he draws nigh to the Undying Lands over the leagues of the Sea.
The Star of Eärendil shone bright in the West as a token that all was made ready, and as a guide over the sea; and Men marvelled to see that silver flame in the paths of the Sun.
This was the beginning of that people that in the Grey-elven speech are called the Dúnedain: the Númenóreans, Kings among Men. But they did not thus escape from the doom of death that Ilúvatar had set upon all Mankind, and they were mortal still, though their years were long, and they knew no sickness, ere the shadow fell upon them. Therefore they grew wise and glorious, and in all things more like to the Firstborn than any other of the kindreds of Men; and they were tall, taller than the tallest of the sons of Middle-earth; and the light of their eyes was like the bright stars.
Though this people used still their own speech, their kings and lords knew and spoke also the Elven tongue, which they had learned in the days of their alliance, and thus they held converse still with the Eldar, whether of Eressëa or of the west-lands of Middle-earth.
The Dúnedain became mighty in crafts, so that if they had had the mind they could easily have surpassed the evil kings of Middle-earth in the making of war and the forging of weapons; but they were become men of peace.

When Nanda had supported Langwidere to a position in front of cupboard No. 17, the Princess unlocked the door with her ruby key and after handing head No. 9, which she had been wearing, to the maid, she took No. 17 from its shelf and fitted it to her neck. It had black hair and dark eyes and a lovely pearl-and-white complexion, and when Langwidere wore it she knew she was remarkably beautiful in appearance.
There was only one trouble with No. 17; the temper that went with it (and which was hidden somewhere under the glossy black hair) was fiery, harsh and haughty in the extreme, and it often led the Princess to do unpleasant things which she regretted when she came to wear her other heads.
But she did not remember this today, and went to meet her guests in the drawing-room with a feeling of certainty that she would surprise them with her beauty.
However, she was greatly disappointed to find that her visitors were merely a small girl in a gingham dress, a copper man that would only go when wound up, and a yellow hen that was sitting contentedly in Langwidere's best work-basket, where there was a china egg used for darning stockings. (It may surprise you to learn that a princess ever does such a common thing as darn stockings. But, if you will stop to think, you will realize that a princess is sure to wear holes in her stockings, the same as other people; only it isn't considered quite polite to mention the matter.)
"Oh!" said Langwidere, slightly lifting the nose of No. 17. "I thought some one of importance had called."
"Then you were right," declared Dorothy. "I'm a good deal of 'portance myself, and when Billina lays an egg she has the proudest cackle you ever heard. As for Tiktok, he's the--"
"Stop--Stop!" commanded the Princess, with an angry flash of her splendid eyes. "How dare you annoy me with your senseless chatter?"
"Why, you horrid thing!" said Dorothy, who was not accustomed to being treated so rudely.
The Princess looked at her more closely.
"Tell me," she resumed, "are you of royal blood?"
"Better than that, ma'am," said Dorothy. "I came from Kansas."

(Found Among the Papers of the Late Francis Wayland Thurston, of Boston)

"Of such great powers or beings there may be conceivably a survival… a survival of a hugely remote period when… consciousness was manifested, perhaps, in shapes and forms long since withdrawn before the tide of advancing humanity… forms of which poetry and legend alone have caught a flying memory and called them gods, monsters, mythical beings of all sorts and kinds…"

“There is something going on within there,” said the other lizard; “they propped up the top of the hill with four red posts, till cock-crow this morning, so that it is thoroughly aired, and the elfin girls have learnt new dances; there is something.”

“I spoke about it to an earth-worm of my acquaintance,” said a third lizard; “the earth-worm had just come from the elfin hill, where he has been groping about in the earth day and night. He has heard a great deal; although he cannot see, poor miserable creature, yet he understands very well how to wriggle and lurk about. They expect friends in the elfin hill, grand company, too; but who they are the earth-worm would not say, or, perhaps, he really did not know. All the will-o’-the-wisps are ordered to be there to hold a torch dance, as it is called. The silver and gold which is plentiful in the hill will be polished and placed out in the moonlight.”

A philosophical zombie is a concept used in the philosophy of mind, a field of research which examines the association between conscious thought and the physical world. A philosophical zombie is a hypothetical person who lacks full consciousness but has the biology or behavior of a normal human being; it is used as a null hypothesis in philosophical debates regarding the mind-body problem. The philosophical context of the term zombie was coined by philosopher David Chalmers in the mid-1990s

Annabel Lee - un poema de Edgardo Allan Poe Era muchos y mucho hace un año, En un reino por el mar, Que vivió una doncella allí quién usted puede saber Por el nombre de Annabel Lee; Y esta doncella ella vivió sin el otro pensamiento que amar y ser amado por mí. Era un niño y ella era un niño, En este reino por el mar; Pero amamos con un amor que era más que el amor I y mi Annabel Lee; Con un amor que los seraphs cons alas del cielo Coveted la y me. Y ésta era la razón que, hace tiempo, En este reino por el mar, Un viento sopló fuera de una nube, enfriándose Mi Annabel hermoso Lee; De modo que viniera su pariente noble Y alesaje ella lejos de mí, Para cerrarla para arriba en un sepulcro En este reino por el mar. Los ángeles, no a medias tan felices en cielo, Fue a envidiar la y me ¡Sí! - que era la razón (como todos los hombres saben, En este reino por el mar) Que el viento salió de la nube por la noche, enfriando y matando mi Annabel Lee. Pero nuestro amor era en gran medida más fuerte que el amor de los que eran más viejos que nosotros De muchos lejos más sabios que nosotros Y ni unos ni otros los ángeles en cielo arriba, Ni los demonios abajo debajo del mar, Puede cortar nunca mi alma del alma Del Annabel hermoso Lee. Para la luna nunca emite sin traerme sueños del Annabel hermoso Lee; Y las estrellas nunca se levantan pero siento los ojos brillantes del Annabel hermoso Lee; Y por eso, toda la noche-marea, me acuesto por el lado de mi querido mi querido mi vida y mi novia, en el sepulcro allí por el mar, En su tumba por el mar del sonido.

Mike Rowland, composer of the Fairy Ring and other well known titles, talks about why he writes music and how learning for a Masters degree in electroacoustic music has added to his original inspiration! As many of you will know Mike's music is inspired and created through listening to his inner voice, to the voice of music that speaks within him. Each of his titles takes you on a journey filled with inspiration. The music is classical, orchestral and with his beautiful piano playing appears in many films and teaching videos across the world. It is used by teachers, by hospitals, by doctors preparing patients for surgery, as well as Shirley Maclain for her video "The Inner Workout".

In the failing light I saw him relax visibly, for real, this time. “My name’s Liam. What’s yours?”
“India. It was my great-grandma’s name.”
“India.” The way he said it, it actually sounded beautiful. “Do you live nearby?”
“No, I’m staying with my uncle for a while. I live in Bridgton. Downstate.”
He started telling me about himself, and what he told me was comfortingly ordinary—the name of his school, and how he rode his bike so many miles in the summer, perhaps; and maybe even where his house was—and yet intriguingly wonderful, about shooting with arrows and things he had made with the dagger at his waist and how he came to be in the same hollow tree that day—but for the rest of that summer, and even now, I try to remember what he told me but could not, for the life of me. But the timbre of his speech was sewn into my head that night and I would not forget that. After, whenever it rained, or the wind sighed in the trees, the spirit if not the substance of the things Liam said in that tree, that night, returned to me with an upwelling of something I had no name for.

The Queen of Hearts She made some tarts, All on a summer's day; The Knave of Hearts He stole those tarts, And took them clean away. The King of Hearts Called for the tarts, And beat the knave full sore; The Knave of Hearts Brought back the tarts, And vowed he'd steal no more.

XXXXXXXX is a thought process believed to be heavily influenced by anxiety or fear, often to the point of irrationality and delusion. XXXXXXXX thinking typically includes persecutory beliefs, or beliefs of conspiracy concerning a perceived threat towards oneself. Making false accusations and the general distrust of others also frequently accompany XXXXXXXX.

Needless to say, cardiac output, pulmonary diffusion capacity, oxygen carrying capacity, and other peripheral limitations like muscle diffusion capacity, mitochondrial enzymes, and capillary density are all examples of VO2 max determinants. The body works as a "system". If one of these factor is sub-par, then the whole system loses its normal capacity to function properly

A hobo is a migratory worker or homeless vagabond, especially one who is penniless. The term originated in the Western—probably Northwestern—United States during the last decade of the 19th century. Unlike 'tramps', who work only when they are forced to, and 'bums', who do not work at all, 'hobos' are workers who wander

Juniper berries are a spice
used in a wide variety of
culinary dishes and best
known for the primary
flavoring in gin (and responsible
for gin's name, which is a
shortening of the Dutch word
for juniper, genever). Juniper
berries are also used as the
primary flavor in the liquor
Jenever and sahti-style of
beers. Juniper berry sauce
is often a popular flavoring
choice for quail, pheasant,
veal, rabbit, venison and
other meat dishes.

Chorus

I've been living in the boxcars.
I'm a hobo now.
I've been living in the boxcars,
Which the yard bulls won't allow.
Brother, can you spare a quarter?
Buy me something good to eat?
Brother, can you spare a nickel,
Till I'm on my feet?
