Do you know the legend of Haunchyville near Muskego, Wisconsin? Near the end of Mystic Drive is supposedly a barn where a farmer hung himself. Underneath the body were many child-sized footprints all around. In the barn was a sign, scrawled in his own blood saying "The Haunchies made me do it." Whether it is a group of vengeful circus dwarves or a debauched town of Wizard of Oz's munchkins, little people have been the object of paranormal fascination for thousands of years. From leprechauns to the Lollipop Guild, join Jeff and Mike (who's actually been there!) as they head into Haunchyville to learn the truth behind the legend. Also, Mike's band https://www.sunspotmusic.com (Sunspot) even recorded a song about the place, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7oYpCBXdlKs (click here to watch the video.)

For the first time in a long time, there has been an improvement in residential vacancies in Australia. But the change is miniscule. The national vacancy rate, according to SQM Research, increased from 1% in March to 1.1% in April – which means that there continues to be a chronic shortage of residential rental properties around Australia. What this means, of course, is that there is tremendous upward pressure on rents.
Gert Linthout is mede-oprichter van Mic Mac Minuscule en partner bij Ray and Jules. Terwijl Mic Mac Minuscule de drempel naar tweedehands babyspullen wil verlagen, wil Ray and Jules de koffiesector veranderen. Dat doen ze met succes, want afgelopen week werden beide start-ups door de Sociale Innovatiefabriek uitgeroepen tot Radicale Vernieuwers van 2022. In dit gesprek legt Gert dan ook uit hoe de twee bedrijven zaken als e-commerce, dienstverlening en opschaling zeer verschillend inzetten, in functie van hun beoogde impact.

MUSIC STING 1_BIG NEWS AMBIANCE OUTDOORS, BREEZE, CREAK OF HAMMOCK SOUND [OFF A BIT] KNOCK ON DOOR, SCREEN DOOR OPENS MRS. JONES What? FRANK Where's the prof? I have to talk to him! MRS. JONES You can give me his mail, young man. FRANK But this is big news! MRS. JONES If it's school business-- FRANK It's not! MRS. JONES It can still wait. This is Professor Michaels' resting week, and you know it. SOUND SCREEN DOOR SLAMS MRS. JONES [fading out] Bad enough those army convoys have to drive by at all hours of the day and night. FRANK Wait! Oh, heck. SOUND A COUPLE OF STEPS ON WOOD PROF [sigh] [calling] Conners? What the devil are you on about? SOUND FOOTSTEPS ON GRAVEL FRANK Oh! Professor! Say - I'm awfully sorry to disturb you, but there's something damn funny out in the ditch. PROF Ditch? SOUND DOOR OPENS MRS. JONES Oh, you! I told him to go, professor! PROF It's all right, Mrs. Jones. I'll handle this. MRS. JONES Dinner in half an hour! You know how you get when you don't eat. SOUND DOOR SHUTS FRANK So, the ditch. Didja hear me? There's something weird. PROF Of course I heard you. [sigh] You found a pixie. Feed him some milk, and go away. FRANK No sir, I think it's a... a rock. PROF A rock. In the road. How quaint. FRANK But sir-- PROF [annoyed, but languid] What is your job, Frank? FRANK Sir? PROF If you don't know, then perhaps I should hire someone else. FRANK I'm to keep everyone off you while you relax. See to the mail, the shopping. PROF And does any of that involve spotting "rocks"? FRANK No. PROF Warning me of rocks? FRANK No. PROF Protecting me from rocks? FRANK No, but-- PROF So move the rock and get on with your-- FRANK But sir, I tried! See? SOUND SHOVEL MOVEMENT PROF [sigh] what? [sharper] What? SOUND DOOR SLAMS OPEN MRS. JONES What on god's green earth did you do to my shovel, young man? FRANK I didn't do anything. The rock thing did! MUSIC LEECH B SOUND [UNDER] FEET ON GRAVEL LEECH food dull food warm light FOOD cold dark food slow food sloooooow... MUSIC 2_THE LEECH AMBIANCE OUTDOORS SOUND WALKING QUICKLY FRANK [a bit breathless] I really wouldn't have bothered you for just nothing, but look! SOUND DOINK ON METAL FRANK Two inches! It melted two inches right off! SOUND FEET HALT PROF [incredulous] That? FRANK That! You can see it better from up close. PROF Shh! SOUND SLOWER FOOTSTEPS PROF [whispered] Do you hear anything? FRANK [whispered] No. I mean, not beyond birds and things. PROF [grim] Neither do I. FRANK So? PROF [brighter] Well, it's indicative of something, isn't it? SOUND BRISKER FOOTSTEPS PROF You have a notebook on you? FRANK No. PROF Anything to write on? FRANK Uh, no. Just - just your mail. PROF Here. SOUND SHUFFLE ENVELOPES PROF No... no... no... Ah. Here. They won't notice if I don't respond. SOUND SLAPS PAPER INTO HAND FRANK Okay. PROF We have what appears to be a round item of a stone-like appearance. Greyish-black and striated. SOUND JUGGLE SHOVEL, WRITING NOISES FRANK Gotcha. PROF [dictating] Sitting in the ditch. Nearest edge, say, three feet off the road. FRANK It's a bit farther than that, isn't it? PROF I wouldn't say so. FRANK [acquiescing] Okay. PROF About the size of a truck tire. FRANK No, really now, I think you have your proportions mixed up... SOUND WALKS FORWARD FRANK [dismayed] Oh. PROF What? Think I'm getting senile or something? FRANK No, just... PROF "Just" is not quantifiable. Just spit it out. FRANK It was smaller. Before. PROF How much smaller? FRANK I dunno - an inch maybe. But definitely smaller. PROF Find me a stick. FRANK A... stick? PROF Here. [give me that] SOUND TAKES SHOVEL FRANK Don't touch it! PROF I'm not planning to. Not yet. SOUND A COUPLE OF STEPS, DRAGGING SOUND PROF As you observe, I am drawing a line approximately three inches beyond the edge of the thing. FRANK [noting] Three inches. Got it. PROF Now, we'll have something to measure by in case it grows again. FRANK Right. PROF Now. Let's see what happens. SOUND METAL ON STONE - SORT OF SOUND SIZZLING NOISE PROF It's not unyielding - the shovel seems to sink in-- FRANK Oh no it's not! SOUND SCRAPE PROF What? Aha! You're right. It's not sinking in, it's being melted away. Gives the same impression. Odd how the mind interprets things.... FRANK I think it just got bigger. PROF Really? FRANK I was watching, and I think it swelled a little. PROF Could be heat waves. I suspect something like this would reflect like asphalt. But let's test it. The shovel's not good for much any more anyway. SOUND METAL ON STONE GRATE, SIZZLING FRANK Don't touch it! PROF My hand is nowhere near touching it. I merely want to see... FRANK Look! It's getting larger! I can see it! SOUND WOOD ON STONE PROF [impressed] Well! [clinical] But it generates no appreciable heat. Odd. I would assume some sort of acidic chemical reaction, which would almost invariably generate heat. FRANK And it grew! Just a fraction of an inch-- PROF I was paying attention to other things. [sigh] SOUND WOOD LANDS ON STONE, SIZZLING FRANK D'you see it swelling? PROF I doubt there was enough left of that handle to do much. What else--? FRANK Rocks? PROF Sound thinking. SOUND PICK UP SOME ROCKS, DROP THEM, SIZZLE FRANK Isn't that just about the damnedest thing you ever saw, Professor? What do you think it is? PROF It's no stone... I'm going to phone the college and ask a physics man about it. Or a biologist. I'd like to get rid of that thing before it spoils my lawn.

JONES What is it? SOUND BUSTLING THROUGH HOUSE SOUND DOOR YANKED OPEN MRS. JONES You better have a brilliant explanation for this-- FRANK Absolutely vital. Professor Michaels knows‑‑ PROF I'm coming. It had better be particularly important to drag me away from Mrs. Jones' bacon. MRS. JONES [amused annoyance] And Mrs. Jones better leave you boys to your business and see to her bacon before it all burns away. SOUND BUSTLES OFF FRANK It's nearly eighteen feet across! PROF The thing? FRANK Yup! PROF I was trying some acids on it yesterday, and nothing seemed to even ruffle it. FRANK None of them? PROF Nope. I'll finagle a bacon sandwich or two and we'll head out presently. MUSIC LEECH D LEECH so small. how is one so small. one was large. one was grand. Miniscule now. Hungry. sooooo hungry. food is slow. Dull. Eat... MUSIC 4_SHERIFF AMBIANCE OUTDOORS, AT THE SITE FRANK See what I mean? PROF Seems the larger it gets, the faster it grows. Not surprising, if what I suspect is happening is true. FRANK What's that? PROF Say it absorbs whatever it touches. The more surface area, the more it can touch, the more it can absorb. FRANK That's not good. It's like some kind of... of leech. PROF I don't know that I would characterize it so narrowly just yet, Frank-- SOUND CAR DRIVES UP, STOPS FRANK Morning Sheriff! SHERIFF Morning. What the devil is this? PROF Don't know. Just showed up. SHERIFF Ha. Ha. We gotta get it out of the road! Something like this, you can't let it block the road. The Army's gotta use this road. FRANK We didn't-- PROF Shh. [up, dry] Terribly sorry. Go right ahead and move it, Sheriff. But be careful. It's hot. FRANK [quiet] Hot? PROF [quiet] Close enough. SHERIFF Should just be able to-- SOUND OPENS TRUNK SHERIFF Where is the--? FRANK [quiet] Shouldn't we warn him? PROF [quiet] We'll stop him if he goes to touch it. But if he doesn't see for himself, he'll never buy it. FRANK Oh.

MUSIC 5_MONKEY'S UNCLE AMBIANCE OUTDOORS, AT THE SITE SHERIFF Well, I'll be a monkey's uncle. PROF [quiet] That would make deputy Jerry, there, "cheetah". FRANK [snickers] PROF Ready to listen yet, sheriff? SOUND ARMY CONVOY APPROACHING SHERIFF What? Hey look! NOW we'll get some action! PROF [quiet] That's rather what I'm afraid of.

O'DONNELL What in sam hill is it? FRANK A leech. SHERIFF A what? PROF [annoyed but covering] Simply a name to refer to it by - we have no real idea what it is. O'DONNELL But you've tried moving it? PROF Every way we could think of. O'DONNELL Crowbar? FRANK Didn't help. O'DONNELL Blowtorch? PROF More or less. No effect. O'DONNELL Gunshot? SHERIFF Sad to say... O'DONNELL [calling orders] Driver?

O'DONNELL How fast can it eat? PROF [quiet] you are keeping track aren't you? FRANK Sure thing, professor! It's been about three minutes, give or take a few. PROF Make a note - Frank needs a stopwatch. FRANK Oh. Ok. Right. SOUND SCRIBBLING O'DONNELL You called this thing a leech, professor? PROF As I said, it is nothing but a name to refer to it by. O'DONNELL But it is leeching, far as I can tell - eating anything that gets near it. PROF Which bodes rather ill for the underside. O'DONNELL Whazzat? PROF You're only thinking about things that get near it on the top - who knows how far below this thing may have eaten away the dirt, or even the bedrock. FRANK Dirt and stones do seem to digest a bit slower. O'DONNELL You've been experimenting with it, eh? Did you by any chance MAKE this thing with one of your experiments, professor? PROF [sigh] First, general, I am not that type of scientist. I am a professor of anthropology. I do, however, understand scientific method and felt that if we established some parameters up front, such as rate of growth, speed of dissolution, etc., we might be able to more easily convince some of my hard science colleagues to come and have a look. O'DONNELL [after a pause] So you say. SOUND MARCHES OFF FRANK You did that on purpose, didn't you? PROF [over innocent] did what? FRANK Oh, no - don't play innocent! I've seen you lecture someone til their eyes glazed over, before this! PROF [chuckle] DRIVER [background] There goes the aerial! SOUND SIZZLING OUT O'DONNELL [commands, off] You! DRIVER Sir! Yes sir! O'DONNELL [commands, off] Go back and have some men bring up hand grenades and dynamite! DRIVER Yes sir! FRANK That will get it! PROF I am not so sure. O'DONNELL [from off, yelling to prof] I don't know what you've got here, but it's not going to stop a U.S. Army convoy! PROF I pray he's right. MUSIC LEECH H SOUND UNDER EXPLOSIONS - HAND GRENADES AND DYNAMITE LEECH waking more. thinking more. sensing more. hungry. [boom] food! yes yes food! [boom] Ahhhhh eat and grow.

JONES Well, I never. PROF Did you get everything moved out all right? MRS. JONES Well, yes, but I've cooked for you in that very house for nearly ten years now. Where am I supposed to feel at home? Where are you? [supposed to feel at home] PROF [muttered] That may not be a problem for long. SOUND HUGE CRACK, SHATTER OF GLASS MRS. JONES There goes the front porch! Who would have thought such a terrible thing could spread so darn far? PROF The government surely didn't. MRS. JONES It looks like one of them - what's the word? Blasted heath. Yes. That's exactly what a blasted heath would look like. PROF [musing] Or a cooled lava flow. [snapping out] Either way, it's pretty darn blasted. MRS. JONES Blasted leech. SOUND FEET ARRIVING PROF I do wish people would stop calling it that. SOLDIER Pardon me, sir? General O'Donnell would like to see you at the command post. PROF Right. I already know the end to this little melodrama. [to soldier] See to it Mrs. Jones gets back to the city, will you? SOLDIER Sir, I'm supposed to escort you-- PROF But I know where I'm going. She does not. SOLDIER Yes, sir! MUSIC LEECH I SOUND CRUSHING HOUSE UNDER LEECH slow food. want fast food. more awake now. why no more fast come. good energy. big food. hungry. more food make more pieces. more pieces make more hungry. more hungry wants more food. MUSIC 9_PERIMETER AMBIANCE OUTDOORS, AT THE EDGE OF THE LARGER SITE SOUND CROWD NOISE, FADING IN PROF What's that over there? SOLDIER2 Perimeter. Barbed wire. Half mile out. PROF I doubt the barbed wire is making all that noise. SOLDIER2 Oh, them. Reporters. Rubberneckers. FRANK [calling from off] Professor! PROF Assistants. SOLDIER2 You need assistance? PROF Just my assistant. Let him in would you? SOLDIER2 I don't have any orders-- PROF Well, he takes all my notes, so I guess I'll have to stay within earshot. Which ends about here. SOLDIER2 But the general-- PROF Will it be easier to move the general, or my assistant, do you think? SOLDIER2 Um... MUSIC 10_HQ AMBIANCE INSIDE HEADQUARTERS TENT SOUND TENT FLAP SWOOP, PROF AND FRANK ENTER TENT O'DONNELL I've been put in charge of operation leech. Ah, professor... and...? PROF My assistant. He is also the one who found this thing in the first place. Absolutely indispensable. FRANK Hi. O'DONNELL Is he trustworthy? PROF Think of him as my right arm. FRANK The one he writes with. O'DONNELL You're a professor, right? PROF Yes. Anthropology. O'DONNELL Good. I'd like you to stay around in an advisory capacity. I'd appreciate your observations on the... enemy. PROF I think this is more in the line of a physicist or a biochemist. O'DONNELL I don't want this place cluttered up with scientists. FRANK But he isn't-- O'DONNELL Don't get me wrong. I have the greatest appreciation for science. I am, if I do say so, a scientific soldier. I'm always interested in the latest weapons. You can't fight any kind of a war any more without science. PROF Of course not. O'DONNELL But I can't have a team of longhairs poking around this thing for the next month, holding me up. My job is to destroy it, by any means in my power, and at once. I am going to do just that. PROF I don't think it will be that easy. O'DONNELL That's what you're here for. Tell me what the problem is, and I'll figure out how to solve it. FRANK [muttered] Usually a scientist's job. PROF Very well. As far as I can figure out, this thing-- O'DONNELL The leech. PROF It isn't really-- O'DONNELL It's the codename. FRANK [muttered] I'm the one who called it that in the first place. PROF The "leech" appears to be an organic mass-energy converter, and a frighteningly efficient one. I'm guessing here, and keep in mind that this is really not my-- O'DONNELL Get on with it. PROF It appears to convert external mass into energy, then back into its own internal mass. Energy is directly converted into the body mass. How this takes place, I do not know. The leech is not protoplasmic. It may not even be cellular-- O'DONNELL So we need something big against it. That's all right, then. I've got plenty of big stuff here. FRANK Oh boy! PROF I don't think you understand me. Let me rephrase. [intense] The leech eats energy! It will consume any energy weapon you use against it. O'DONNELL [considering] And what happens if it keeps on eating? PROF I think it will only be limited by its food source. O'DONNELL So when it runs out, we'll all be safe? PROF When it runs out, we'll all be gone. MUSIC LEECH J LEECH senses growing. Feel moving food. Sitting food. Food near. Food far. Waiting for food to come near. Hungrrrrry. MUSIC 11_NEED HELP AMBIANCE INSIDE HEADQUARTERS TENT PROF I insist you contact some physicists. Biologists and chemists too. Give them a chance to figure out how to nullify it. I can give you some names. O'DONNELL I don't have time to wait while a passel of scientists wrangle! I have this axiom - Muster enough force, and anything will give. Anything. FRANK [muttered] Military thinking. O'DONNELL [pleased] Thanks. PROF [sigh] But I am not that kind of-- O'DONNELL Don't sell yourself short, Prof! And don't underestimate the army. We have, massed under North Hill - right over there - the greatest accumulation of energy and radioactive weapons ever assembled in one spot. I bet even this leech won't withstand the full force of all that. FRANK [worried] Professor? PROF [doubtful] I suppose it could be possible to overload the thing. O'DONNELL [smug] I'll go and give some orders. We're gonna crack that leech in half! SOUND HE LEAVES FRANK Did he listen to a single thing you said? PROF [sigh] He is the military. FRANK Then why are you - we - even here? PROF I fear the general wants to be able to say he consulted a scientist. I'm convenient since I can't possibly have a relevant opinion. MUSIC LEECH K SOUND [UNDER] RAY GUNS, EXPLOSIONS, ETC. LEECH Fooooood! Rich food! Needing more! Ray food, energy food, liquid food! Needing more! More food makes more hungry!!!! Sensing. Sensing for food. Ahhhh. THERE. MUSIC 12_STOCKPILE AMBIANCE INSIDE HEADQUARTERS TENT O'DONNELL [incredulous and furious] It did what? SOUND NANA OF VOICE ON WALKIE-TALKIE. FRANK It flew! PROF It might be better described as a type of hovering. O'DONNELL Shh! Over and out. SOUND WALKIE SQUAWK - OFF PROF [resigned] Where did it go? O'DONNELL The damned fools! Why'd they have to panic? You'd think they'd never been trained! FRANK They couldn't exactly expect that! PROF [urgent] Where? O'DONNELL North Hill. [angry sigh] Our armory. FRANK But that's a whole mile away! PROF At least. O'DONNELL Sixty-seven men died! And the leech just - just jumped there! PROF I still say it hovered. It definitely moved with some sort of self-propulsion. FRANK I'll write that down. PROF The way it looked, it floated across the sky, blacking out the sun, and then, when it reached its goal, it simply dropped. O'DONNELL [snarling] How can you be so clinical about this? FRANK I - I- PROF It's OUR job to take notes for the scientists you will eventually have to call in. MUSIC LEECH L LEECH So good! So nice! Rich food. Much energy. Growwww. Yessss. Ahhhh. More cells. Now, more hungry. MUSIC 13_EXPERTS AMBIANCE INSIDE HEADQUARTERS TENT SOUND PACING O'DONNELL Haven't those eggheads made up their minds yet? We've had to evacuate six nearby farms. FRANK It's not like choosing a tie. O'DONNELL But they're the experts! PROF No one's an expert on this. It's never happened before. The physicists consider it a biological matter, and the biologists seem to think the chemists should have the answer. We can't even agree on whose problem it is! O'DONNELL It's the military's problem! I don't give a hang what the thing is! I just want to know how to destroy it! [offhand] They better give me permission to use the bomb. SOUND STRIDES OFF FRANK Will that work? PROF Well, I have a theory. FRANK Yes? PROF Which I hope will remain a theory. FRANK How can I make notes if you don't tell me? PROF The Bomb might overload it. MIGHT destroy it. Or give it what it needs to grow big enough to devour the entire continent. Sooner. SOUND FEET STRIDE BACK O'DONNELL Still talking! Gah! I've been pushing for the Bomb for a week now! And I'll get it, but not til they run out of doubletalk! FRANK Could be a while. O'DONNELL [intense] I am going to destroy that leech. I am going to SMASH it, if it's the last thing I do! It's gone beyond national security now. THIS is personal. SOUND STRIDES OFF PROF I knew you shouldn't have named it. FRANK Why? PROF Once you name something, you get to thinking you KNOW it. And no matter how much you think you won't, you start applying traits to it. Anthropomorphizing it. Attaching motives and feelings to it. FRANK Who says it doesn't feel? PROF It does. O'DONNELL [from off] Here come the bright boys now! MUSIC LEECH M LEECH So big. Big now. Big makes hungry. So much to fill. So much to feed. Need more. More good rich food. MUSIC 14_SCIENTISTS AMBIANCE INSIDE HEADQUARTERS TENT O'DONNELL Well, have you figured out what it is yet? ALLENSON [weary sarcasm] Just a minute - I'll hack off a sample. Hah. O'DONNELL [exasperated] Have you figured out some scientific way of killing it? MORIARTY [dry, offhand] Oh, that wasn't difficult at all. FRANK Really? MORIARTY Wrap it in a perfect vacuum. That'll do the trick. Or blow it off the earth with anti-gravity. FRANK Can they really? PROF Don't be silly. ALLENSON Failing that, we suggest you use your atomic bombs and use them fast. O'DONNELL Yes! [vainly trying to curb his enthusiasm] Is that the opinion of the entire think tank? MORIARTY [sigh] Yes. SOUND GENERAL HURRIES OFF ALLENSON He should have called us in immediately! There's no time to consider anything but force now. PROF Have you come to any conclusions about the nature of this thing? MORIARTY Only general ones. Very much in line with your notes and conclusions. ALLENSON As you mentioned, it's a perfect converter--it can transform mass into energy, and any energy into mass. MORIARTY Naturally that's impossible and I have figures to prove it. We're positing that this thing was in some dormant spore-stage until it was pulled in by the earth's gravity. ALLENSON Incidentally, we should be damned grateful that it didn't land in the ocean. We'd have been eaten out of house and home-- FRANK Literally. ALLENSON --before we even knew what we were looking for. PROF [musing] I wonder how long it will take him to get permission to use the bomb. MUSIC LEECH N LEECH slow grow. Hungry. No grow. Dull food not enough. Want more. Want grow. Want be big again. MUSIC 15_BOMBS AMBIANCE INSIDE HEADQUARTERS TENT O'DONNELL Brigadier-General, with all due respect sir, how many MORE scientists can there be? We've been waiting for-- BRIG-GENERAL [on phone] Washington had to explore every alternative before detonating an atomic bomb in the middle of New York! O'DONNELL So now I can use the bomb? BRIG-GENERAL We need some time to evacuate people in an orderly fashion. O'DONNELL Sir! This leech is still growing! We have to stop it before it gets out of hand! FRANK Bit late for that. PROF Shh. He's doing the best he can. BRIG-GENERAL We've signed you out five bombs. Use them well. But not until the order comes through. MUSIC LEECH O LEECH slowing. Drowsing. Waiting. Cells starving. Too much need food. Tired... SOUND EXPLOSION LEECH YESSSS! Foooooood! Much! Too much! Holding! Choking! No! straining.... straining! More cells. Need more cells! Building! Feeeeeeeeding! Choking? [beat] No. SOUND BOMB LEECH Enough cells now. Rich food. More. Grow. Build. JOY. MUSIC 16_SIXTY MILES AMBIANCE INSIDE NEW HEADQUARTERS TENT O'DONNELL Sixty miles across. PROF There was no way to know. O'DONNELL This was supposed to KILL it. FRANK At least there was no fallout. PROF I'm sure it ate THAT too. O'DONNELL I have to KILL IT! Do you hear me! The blasted thing has spread all the way to the Adirondacks! FRANK What's next? More bombs? PROF I don't think it's advisable. If we throw enough at it to crack it, we might crack open the earth's crust. O'DONNELL The leech has to be blown up quick. What are the bright boys hedging for? PROF They don't know what will happen. The concentration of bombs it would require-- O'DONNELL Perhaps they'd like me to order a bayonet attack. FRANK They've got to do something. PROF It's frustrating. I keep feeling like I should be doing more, but this simply isn't my area of expertise! That thing thrives on force - and the scientists don't have time to consider any alternatives. FRANK Fight fire with fire. PROF But it's not fire. Fire is fickle. Fire is Loki. Fire is a trickster. This thing is... is... O'DONNELL Where the heck are the scientists? SOUND TENT FLAP ALLENSON [coming in] We've finished the calculations. O'DONNELL Good. I'll call in the strike. MORIARTY There's a damned good chance of splitting the earth wide open with that much power! O'DONNELL You have to take chances in war. FRANK He doesn't even care! PROF He cares. He just doesn't care about that. Hercules himself couldn't turn the general from his course. ALLENSON Hear us out! O'DONNELL Your own calculations show that the leech is now growing at twenty feet per hour. So how much time is that before it reaches this post? FRANK He's got a point. PROF [musing] Hercules.... Something... ALLENSON And speeding up. But this can't be done in haste-- PROF Aha! O'DONNELL What? PROF I may have a counter-offer. O'DONNELL Does it involve me blowing up the leech? PROF It's a very dim chance, but... [trails off] O'DONNELL Yes? PROF have you ever heard of Antaeus? MUSIC LEECH P LEECH more large. more thought. More memory. Large rock and dirt and stone food. Devoured. Joy. Huge mass of combustibles - light and heat and energy! Food. True joy! SOUND MEMORY SOUNDS LEECH then all devoured. Dark. Cold. Empty. Cells Shrinking, dying, self-devouring self. Moving. Seeking. Food. MUSIC 17_DRONE SHIP AMB OUTSIDE SOUND SMALL PLANE PASSES OVERHEAD FRANK So that's what a drone looks like. PROF Pretty much like any other rocket ship. The pilot just happens to be over there in the tent. O'DONNELL I hope you're right about this, professor. MORIARTY The calculations all validate the hypothesis. If what you said about the creature's motivational capability is accurate-- FRANK There it goes! O'DONNELL Straight up! Son of a biscuit! PROF It's - it's - enormous! MUSIC LEECH Q SOUND FIGHTER PLANE BUZZES PAST LEECH Food! Rich food! Above! Out of reach! Why not fall? Come to me? Food! ... seek. SOUND BUZZ OF FIGHTER PLANE MOVING AWAY LEECH heat! Small food. Cold! Nothing. Ah, little flying food, come to - oh. Oh, yes. Far. There. Huge bright glowing mass of combustibles. Food. MUSIC 18_ANTAEUS AMBIANCE OUTDOORS FRANK Wow. Now, that's a crater. PROF You can look at it later. I keep worrying that I've missed something. FRANK But the leech is gone, professor! Right up and out of the atmosphere. PROF There's no way to be sure it won't come back. FRANK Everybody's going to be watching for the leech. PROF Please don't call it that. FRANK What then? Antaeus? Who's that anyway? PROF Greek Mythology. Son of Gaea and Poseidon - the earth goddess and sea god. He was an invincible wrestler, drawing his strength from the earth itself. FRANK His mom. Apron strings, even in mythology. PROF [chuckles] Well, Hercules had to wrestle him, and every time Hercules threw him to the ground, he rose refreshed. FRANK Didn't Hercules know about the earth? PROF He figured it out. After that, he just held Antaeus up in the air until he gave up. O'DONNELL [off slightly] Come on, join me in some champagne. Even you brainy folks can use a little celebration! MORIARTY [happily] Maybe just a sip! ALLENSON I don't mind if I do. FRANK Be there in a minute! [to prof] So the fighter rocketship they sent up will just keep leading it around in space til it gets tired and drops dead? O'DONNELL Better. It's going to take it right into the sun. Big or not, the damn thing can't eat THAT. PROF Lord, I hope not. O'DONNELL [to pilot] How's the ship, pilot? PILOT Just reached the orbit of Mercury, sir. O'DONNELL Fine! Fine. I swore to destroy that thing. Not the way I wanted to do it - too far out to see it go up with my own eyes - If I had a choice, it would be more personal. But the important thing is the destruction. Destruction is at times a sacred mission. Man, I feel wonderful! MORIARTY [panicky] Turn the rocket!!!! TURN IT! O'DONNELL What the devil? MORIARTY Considering rate of growth, energy consumption capacity, and speed versus projected energy retention, figuring in the energy it will receive from the sun as it approaches-- O'DONNELL Speak English! MORIARTY [dire warning] It's gonna devour the sun. MUSIC LEECH R LEECH closer! Closer! More heat! More light! All! Must have all! Small rich food moving away. Choice. Nearby small food? Far big food? Hungry NOW. Close first. Catch quick, feed enough to move to big food. Yes! MUSIC 19_TURN AWAY AMBIANCE INSIDE HEADQUARTERS TENT PILOT It's turning, sir! ALL [general sounds of relief] ALLENSON Take it out at right angles to the plane of the solar system. SOUND RADAR [start much earlier] FRANK So the blob is the leech and the dot is the ship? PROF Yes. O'DONNELL What portion of the sky would the leech be in just now? MORIARTY Somewhere out in that section - just over that tree. O'DONNELL Fine. [calling order back over shoulder] Soldier! Carry out your orders! ALL [surprised concern - "what?" "huh" "what are you up to?" etc.] FRANK [calling] The dot is slowing down! The blob is catching up! PROF What are you up to, general? O'DONNELL [grim satisfaction] I told you this was a personal matter. I swore to destroy that leech. We can never have any security while it is alive. [chuckles triumphantly] I had that ship especially built. PROF To do... what... precisely? O'DONNELL Shall we look at the sky? SOUND FEET, TENT FLAP, ETC. as they leave. O'DONNELL Soldier? PILOT Three seconds, sir! O'DONNELL Push the button. PILOT Yes, sir! FRANK is something supposed to-- Whoah! MORIARTY Not a good idea to look directly at the explosion! PROF What... did... you... do? O'DONNELL [smug] That rocket was built around a hydrogen bomb. I set it off at the contact moment. FRANK How come there's no sound? Thought there'd be a loud bang or something. Is it like thunder? ALLENSON Sound doesn't travel in a vacuum. PROF [explaining] We're anthropologists. O'DONNELL [calling to pilot] Anything on the radar? PILOT [from within] Nope! Not a speck, sir. O'DONNELL Men - and scientists - I have met the enemy and he is MINE. Let's have some more of that champagne. PROF I wish I was that sure. MUSIC LEECH S LEECH Catching food. Slowing. Tiring. Catch. Massive surge! Too much! Holding! Holding! Absorbing! Building! No! No! overload! Too much! Breaking! Come apart! Losing thought! Losing cohesion! Breaking. Broken. Shattered.

In this age of travel restrictions at airports and other entry points to a state or a country, coronavirus tests have become a part and parcel of our lives. The two most common types of tests are the RT-PCR and the Rapiden Antigen Test. Let us understand the difference between the two The RT-PCR test stands for Reverse Transcription–Polymerase Chain Reaction Test. It is considered the gold standard for diagnosing viral diseases like COVID-19 and Ebola. It is a lab test that amplifies a tiny amount of genetic material, that is RNA, from a pathogen such as a virus. It is a highly specific test meaning that if someone is infected with the virus, there is a very high likelihood that the result would come back positive. However, this means there is still a small chance that the test may show a positive result for those who do not have the infection. This is known as a false positive. RT-PCR could also detect residual virus even after the individual is no longer infected. The first step in the test is to collect a sample of secretions from the back of the nose using a long swab with a soft end. Chemicals are then used to extract the genetic material from the sample which in this case is the RNA. The sample contains a mix of both the person's and the virus' RNA if infected. Using an enzyme called the reverse transcriptase, which stands for RT, this RNA extracted from the sample is then converted into DNA. Since the virus that causes COVID is a single-stranded RNA-based virus, the genetic material has to be converted to double-stranded DNA for the purpose of amplification. Miniscule portions of the DNA go through 35 to 40 times of amplification so that billions of copies of viral genetic material are created. With the help of fluorescent dye, a sample is identified to be positive or negative based on the brightness of the fluorescence using a specialised equipment. This entire process can take up to 8 hours. While on the other hand, the Rapid Antigen Test for COVID-19 can provide result within 15 minutes. This is a lateral flow test much like a pregnancy test. It can be done at a clinic, hospital or even at home. This test detects the presence of proteins on the surface of the coronavirus called antigens. Since the test is not as sensitive as RT-PCR, it tends to be more accurate when used in the first few days of the onset of symptoms when the largest amount of virus is present in the body. While it is significantly cheaper compared to RT-PCR, the major downside is that it may not always be accurate. They are the preferred method when it comes to mass testing a population. If an antigen test is negative, RT-PCR test is recommended to confirm the same. Among the two tests, the RT-PCR is considered to be more reliable worldwide. It is not as quick as the antigen test, but is far more accurate and time-tested. Watch video

As Father McPhail warns of the Tempter, Mary Malone bids farewell to the kind, elderly couple that assisted her when she first crossed into the world of Ci'gazze. Unsure where to go next, she consults the I Ching, a Chinese method of fortune telling kindred to the alethiometer. After hiking a mountain path for four hours, Mary discovers a window to another world. Once through, she is astounded by what she finds. Miniscule insects and tiny hummingbirds fly in sharp relief to the wide, red-gold trunks of the new world's enormous trees. Yet nothing is as strange as the creatures Mary finds in the grove. Called mulefa, the creatures have short trunks like elephants, diamond-shaped bodies, and claws that they hook through wheel-shaped seedpods they ride through the countryside. Mary communicates with the mulefa, who are able to mimic her in broken English. They befriend her, gesturing for Mary to travel with them as they leave the safety of the grove. Meanwhile, in Lyra's world, Balthamos suddenly senses that Baruch has died. He is overtaken by anguish and guilt, almost unable to go on, but Will is able to convince him to continue for Baruch's sake. As they travel, Will and Balthamos encounter a priest who warns them of a village in the south that is plagued by armoured bears. The bears are attacking because the villagers refuse to refuel them. Will and Balthamos make their way to the village where Will comes up with a plan to stop the fighting. He says he will challenge one of the bears; if Will wins, the villagers must refuel the bear's ship so they can be on their way. The bear agrees; but when Will displays the power of the subtle knife, he refuses to fight such a weapon. The villagers keep their word and refuel the bears' boats. Will tells one of the bears that he is looking for Iorek Byrnison to help him find his friend, Lyra Silvertongue. The bear reveals to Wil that he is, in fact, Iorek Byrnison. Fascinated by Will's knife, Iorek agrees to help Will find Lyra, allowing him to travel with the bears as they make their way toward the Himalayas.

The GDP growth numbers for 2016 were recently released and it was below expert expectations. GDP growth for 2016 was only 1.6%! The average GDP growth for the last 7 ½ years was only 2.1%! Those are some really lousy numbers! The question is, why has our economy grown so slowly these last 7 ½ years? It’s mainly because government spending is crowding out private sector investment! We need to shrink the size of government! That is how we make America Great Again!

How We Got Our Bible (Pt.9) In comparing the figures for the amounts and dates of the available manuscripts for classical Greco-Roman authors with that of the New Testament, there is no way that the charge can be levied against the New Testament that we cannot know what originally written whilst at the same time quoting authors of classical antiquity. This is because New Testament scholars have at their disposal some 5800 Greek manuscripts of the New Testament, some dating within decades from the original manuscripts. In short, if one is to dismiss the Bible as being reliable, then on what basis and authority does that one have to say that he knows anything of ancient secular history, seeing that the standard by which ancient history is derived, namely the manuscript evidence is absolutely eclipsed when held in comparison against the Bible!! In this teaching we examine the manuscript evidence for the New Testament and ask the question, 'Is the Bible that we have in our hands today what was originally written down?'

Clio released the huge For Sure Baby on Metroline Limited last summer, a track and an EP that went on to become the best selling Metroline's to date and found their way in the dj boxes of some of the biggest dj's out there! After spending the last few years in train yards across France and Europe,Clio now expresses his feelings with music. Gathering inspiration from "random minimal" sounds and tech-house, as well as influences such as Dance music, Dub,Hip Hop and Jazz . From early sessions with his friend "Romain", Clio was really introduced to music production by Kane Roth. He released his first remix for Lega and Julie Amadeo's "Sunken Sleep", on "Miniscule" netlabel (US 2008 ) Since then, he has worked on his own characteristic sound based on a groovy and funny approach of music ,aimed at the dance-floor, but "cool" enough to appreciate it at home or in the living room. After few remixes and collaborations,Clio is now focusing on his own project. With his first solo EP (Metroline Limited 37D) Clio gains some good exposure, as the track "For Sure Baby" is really well received and heavily supported during the whole summer 2010 in Ibiza by Loco Dice. Also,dj's and producers such as Matthias Tanzmann,Nic Fanciulli,Tiefschwarz,Sasha,Rodriguez JR,Ralf Kollmann,Mikael Stavostrand,Ewan Pearson,Okain,Sasch BBC,Slz,Noir,M.In (among others) selected Clio's music for their charts and/or dj sets. 2011 will feature some new EP's,remixes and appearances on various labels such as : "Saved", "Metroline" ...
