Volunteers respond to real time needs and deliver valuable financial, social and cultural benefits to millions of people, projects and causes. Whether working as individuals or in groups, volunteers are the essence of local communities. And this can be especially important during challenging times when the usual rhythm and flow of community life is disrupted.This audio guide is divided into six short sections that celebrate the value of local community volunteering - and how you can get involved.Script 2Nora closes her eyes and inhales the memory of George; Palmolive soap, fresh air, and boy. Her fingers remember his backbone beneath his thin cotton shirt like a line of cobblestones, a washboard of ribs on either side. His breath warm against her cheek, his auburn hair tangling with her lighter curls. If she and George had had a son, he'd have looked just like that boy. That beautiful boy out there on his bicycle.Nora fingers the old wooden thimble in her cardigan pocket. Smoothed by years of her caress, the heart and flower are almost undetectable.**Listen to all of our podcasts here - you can also watch on YouTube, or say to your smart speaker "Play How Do You Say That?!"About our guest: Helen Lloyd has worked at most of the UKs major repertory theatres, playing everything from ladies in waiting to major roles... including the lead in The Mousetrap in year 29 in the West End.

Trigger Warnings below the script, below. Two girls in very different times and places both make their way to the top - One finds exaltation, the other merely death.

Why, it's a mother's heart. Can't you tell?" **************************************************************** LONELY AT THE TOP Cast: Tess (F/16) Teza (F/16) Markie/Marquay (F/16) Mom (F/40) Priest/Trainer/Doctor (M/40) NOTE: the roles are deliberately doubled to present the same “people” in both girls' lives. The “mom” speeches apply to both at the same time. OLIVIA Did you have any trouble finding it? What do you mean, what kind of a place is it? Why, it's a Mother's heart, can't you tell? MUSIC MOM's MUSIC MOM Darling, this is wonderful. You can't imagine how proud I am of you! I've always known you were special, but it means so much to have someone like that see what I have always seen! MUSIC OUT AMB MODERN MARKIE I totally can't believe it! You made the cut? TESS It's not set in stone yet - It's just the semi-finals, but mom's about to wet herself, she's so excited. MARKIE But Miss Modern Teen Model 2009! I mean, even if you wash out on the semi-finals, that's still soooo cool! I wish I was pretty. TESS Puh-lease. You're cute. Cute lasts. Beauty fades. MARKIE Cute. Yeah, that's my curse. Not tall enough to be a model, not short enough to walk under turnstiles... [laughs a bit bitterly] TESS Cute lasts. I have to make the most of this while I can. Besides, you have plans for your future - the scholarships are lining up. MARKIE Yeah yeah yeah, but brains don't get you dates. TESS Brains last too. MOM MUSIC MOM The idea that my daughter - my lovely child - could go all the way to the top. That you could have the perseverance and willpower to do what has to be done to make it. It will reflect so well on all of us! MUSIC OUT AMB AZTEC MARQUE You are one of the chosen? TEZA [laughs delightedly] Yes! There is still a long path ahead of me, but I feel - it feels right! MARQUE You are so fortunate! I wish I was graced with beauty pleasing to the gods. TEZA Everyone's fate is different, my dearest friend. I hear your parents have found you a husband! MARQUE He is ... kind. Not unappealing. Not too old. Yes, it is a promising match. I could certainly do worse. TEZA So you have as much to look forward to as I do! MARQUE Could you ... do something for me? TEZA Anything - you are my dearest friend and I love you! MARQUE When you ... get there, could you petition the great mother Chalchihuitlicue [chal-chee-weet-lee-cue] to smile upon my first pregnancy? That say that should you survive the first, the others are not so hard. TEZA Not even a bride yet, and you worry about bearing? Silly. Let your time come when it may. MARQUE But-- TEZA But! But I will. I will speak with every goddess in the heavens if it will help ease your burden. MARQUE I love you! MOM MUSIC MOM Don't be afraid honey, I won't let you fail. I know you can reach any goal you set your mind on. You simply must keep your focus. Can you do that? Eyes on the prize, sweetheart. And you know what that means - giving up the things that don't matter to clear the way for the things that do. AMB MODERN MOM What are you eating? TESS What? Ice cream. MOM No, no, no! You know what Mr. Dupree said - these last few days before the pageant, you need to stick to simple foods. No sugar! Nothing bloaty. TESS Chill mom. I made it this far-- MOM It just gets harder, honey. Every inch of the way is like another huge step up the side of a mountain. None of these steps are easy, but they're worth the effort, if only because of the view once you get up there. TESS You're really stoked on this, aren't you? MOM Yes honey, I'm stoked. For you. I want you to be able to get everything you can out of life - a model's life isn't easy, but there are plenty of rewards. TESS [heard it a million times] and you have to get it while you can, because models are over the hill before they can legally drink. MOM It's not funny, honey. It's very serious. Can't you give it just one year? How hard is that - to push yourself, for just one year? TESS I guess. MOM MUSIC MOM When I heard that you had been chosen, that you were smiled upon out of all the girls, I nearly wept. I was so pleased. I've watched your sisters put themselves at the service of husband and children, and I wanted so much more for you. You are my special, beautiful, darling. AMB AZTEC MARQUE I'm sorry you will miss my wedding. TEZA It is set, then? MARQUE Not the day, no, but it will be summer next, right after the sowing. TEZA A good time. And I will be with you in spirit. MARQUE The midwife thinks I will be old enough, then. [breaking a little] Oh, I will miss you! Once you enter the grand temple, we can never speak again! TEZA You will always be in my heart, as I know I will always be in yours. I will watch over you and always hear you when you speak to me. MARQUE It will be in the spring? For you? TEZA If I am selected to represent Chicomecoatl [chih-coe-me-coe-ah-tul]. It would be a great honor. MARQUE Your mother has been bragging everywhere. She cannot be quieted. TEZA It's as if she was the one being considered. MARQUE Never mind. Regardless, we will be together through the winter, while you learn all you must know for the big day. TEZA And you learn all you must know for your big day. MOM MUSIC MOM My dearest child, you don't know how my heart swells with pride when I think about you, up there in front of everyone, beautiful and serene, like a shining star, and knowing, deep inside myself, that I made you perfect. AMB DUAL [Both are speechifying] TESS I am so pleased to be considered -- TEZA --to represent our lady of corn on this most sacred of days. I have always wanted-- TESS --to be able to find a way to show the world what I have inside, what I have to offer. And if I could do one thing-- TEZA --I would like to make my mother, my family, and my people proud of me, for community is everything. Without the people around us, we-- TESS --would never have made it this far, this close to becoming the next to represent-- TEZA --Lady of the corn-- TESS --Miss Modern Teen Model 2019. AMB MODERN TESS [crying] MOM What the hell did you think you were doing in there? They were laughing at you! TESS [teary] What? MOM That judge said you walk like a trucker with hemorrhoids! TESS I don't know how I walk! I don't watch me! MOM [softening] Honey! Sweetie! Oh, come here. It's not over - I promise you. You were doing so well, I'm sure this one thing won't put you out entirely, as long as you don't give up. TESS I want to-- MOM Shh. Shh. We'll just find someone to do something about that walk. No big deal. AMB AZTEC TEZA [tears] It's all over! I know it! MARQUE Why? TEZA The rich merchant from Tenochtitlan - he has requested I marry him! MARQUE But doesn't he know you are destined for the temple? TEZA [scornful] Apparently he likes the idea of marrying someone perfect enough for the gods. MARQUE That is - he is asking for something terrible to happen! TEZA Well, I haven't been chosen yet - if I tried to step away then, that would be blasphemy. But to drop out now... what a blow it would be to everyone. And yet - my mother may consider his offer, since he is very prosperous. It is not fair! MARQUE No. Do not worry. I think this means as much to your mother - more even - than it does to you. She wishes you to secure her a place in the high tables of the night. And there is money from the temple as well - the position is a very prestigious one. MOM MUSIC MOM Your dreams are all that matters, my dearest child. I will never try and stop you from getting everything you deserve. You know you can count on my support every step of the way. I will always be behind you to help you face forward, and will push you up every step, if that's what it takes. AMB MODERN SOUND VOMITING MUFFLED BY DOOR MOM Honey? You doing all right? TESS [recovering] Just a minute. MOM Quick rinse, dear - there's someone here to see you! SOUND DOOR SHUTS, FOOTSTEPS MOM She'll be out in a minute - fixing her face, you know. TRAINER Of course. Why don't work out my fees while we wait-- SOUND DOOR OPENS TESS [subdued] Hi. MOM Oh, come on, show a little enthusiasm! She's really much more excited than that. TRAINER Don't worry - I understand. So this is Tess. [hmming noises] SOUND FOOTSTEPS CIRCLE TESS TRAINER Has she had any formal modeling training? MOM She's been taking classes since she was nine. TRAINER [disapproving] Hmm. MOM But she also studied ballet, tap, jazz, deportment, and has kept up a 3.7 G-P-A. TRAINER [dismissive noise] TESS And I- TRAINER Shh! How old is she? MOM Fourteen. TRAINER We're starting it a bit late, but I see potential here. Show me this walk... MOM MUSIC MOM Think on this. Think of the great ones - the ones we all idolize and hold in great regard. Now picture your face there, among them, gracing the rest of us below. Can't you see yourself? Your perfect self? AMB AZTEC MOM [whispered] Don't they look grand in their feathers? They hold our future - your future in their very hands. TEZA Mother. You will make me tongue-tied. They are wise and all-knowing. They will know if I am the one-- MOM That you are the one-- TEZA --the minute they lay eyes upon me. MOM [gasp] Was that your name? Did they call your name? TEZA Yes, mother it was my name. Pray for me. SOUND ECHOING FOOTSTEPS PRIEST You, child. You aspire to represent the great lady of the corn? TEZA [awed and respectful] Yes, if it please the gods. PRIEST You are lovely, but are you pure? TEZA Yes, sire. My mother can swear to it. PRIEST Remove your shawl, show us your body. Do not hesitate, child - nothing untoward will happen. Your mother is right there watching. SOUND HEAVY FABRIC FALLS TO THE FLOOR MOM MUSIC MOM It's just skin, honey. You have nothing to be embarrassed about. You're lovely. Think of yourself as a work of art, and they are objective observers. They wouldn't be interested in you that way, anyway - you know that. And I'm right here. Tell me if you get nervous, and I'll make them stop. All right? You know every girl who has gone before has been through this same thing. AMB MODERN TESS [nervous, jittery] Well, they haven't said no, yet. MARKIE That's good. TESS I guess. I mean, I'm starting to wonder whether it's all really worth it. I'm supposed to get good sleep, be rested, so I can look my best, but half the time I'm too damn nervous, or hungry, or...something. I'm always trying not to think of things, like food, or having time to myself - I mean, what is it all for? MARKIE Wow. Maybe you should just tell your mom you want to stop. TESS Tell my mom? [laughs almost hysterically] Tell my mom? Are you high? She would toss me out on my ear. She's got so into this - and besides, she's spent all this money - mucho dinero, you know - to get me this far. How can I let her down - make her waste all that? MARKIE But you have to think of yourself, right? TESS I promised her I would do this for one year. Just a year - I can do it. [affirmations] I have the willpower to maintain, and the serenity to--[breaks into a sob] MARKIE Have you eaten anything today? TESS I can't! The pre-judging is tomorrow. MARKIE I have some tic-tacs-- TESS No! Don't tempt me! Shit, Markie, you're supposed to be helping me! MOM MUSIC MOM It will all be worth it, you know it will. The purging, the special oils. You will always be the most lovely one in the place - caught in that one special moment, when you shine above all others. No one will ever forget you after that! AMB AZTEC TEZA great and reverent master, what if I have doubts? PRIEST Doubts? What doubts, child? TEZA I fear that I will not be worthy. That I will falter in my steps and dishonor the crown of corn. PRIEST I can look into your heart, child, and I see that you have the strength within you to bear this burden - to rise to the heights, and carry the name of Chicomecoatl with dignity and grace. TEZA Do you? PRIEST It is always the way of men and women to doubt themselves. To worry that they will lose themselves in fear, or to ponder what life would be like had they not stepped out upon the path to greatness. Ever and always. TEZA But what can I do? PRIEST Fast and pray, child. I know you will see the correctness of your choice. And when your day of glory comes, you will never know fear or doubt again. MOM MUSIC MOM A boy? What do you mean a boy? You don't have time for - you're too young for boys. All the boys you could possibly want will be at your feet, when the time comes, but right now - [hissed] it will ruin you. AMB MODERN TESS But Corey's on TV! He could help my-- MOM He could get you on the covers of a bunch of sleazy tabloids-- TESS But you said publicity is good-- MOM Not that kind - that will make sure everyone knows your name, but you will never be high class again! Save that kind of exploitation for when your looks start to fade. TESS Yeah, like when I'm 17. MOM You knew going in this was a short hard run, missy. There is no free ride. You wanted this as much as I did! TESS Well I don't want it any more! I want to have a normal life! MOM Fine. We can go back to living a normal life. You and me and your dad - oh, wait. Where should we live, hun? We sold the house when we came on the road with you - to finance your headshots and your spa treatments. I suppose if you quit school-- TESS [muttered] I can't concentrate anyway. MOM --and get a job in fast food, we three between us could make enough to [ramping up, each statement a dagger] live in a crappy little apartment and eat junk food all the time and get enormously fat and covered in acne, and then as soon as you're old enough, you can run off with some high school drop out who wants to start a band-- [sliding down, into her own misery] but of course you love each other and he ends up driving Greyhound and you lose the last vestige of your waist when you have the first three children, but the fourth child - your fourth child, she might just be perfect enough to live the good life - the beautiful life - at least until she ruins it! TEZA You gave me the choice mother, and I accept my fate. MOM I always knew you were just too good to live. You are an angel, honey, a perfect angel. TESS Yes, mother. MOM Sweetie. [all business] Now here's your pills from Dr. Gustavson - he said don't take them on an empty stomach, so go grab a cracker and some diet soda. MOM MUSIC MOM There is nothing wrong with wanting more for your child than you had. Wanting to guide her and make sure she gets the advantages instead of making the same stupid mistakes you made. Is there? Isn't all of life - at least the lives of parents - the effort to make a better life for your children? AMB AZTEC MARQUE And is he very handsome, the chosen vessel of Tezcatlipoca? TEZA Don't be silly - he is perfect. They wouldn't have chosen him otherwise. [sigh] but of course, we are set upon different paths. MARQUE Perhaps you will meet later. Beyond the sun. TEZA Perhaps. But he has been given four wives who are all perfect as well. MARQUE And you are the Lady of Corn - none can shine brighter than a candle in the sunlight when you are in the room. I swear you get more beautiful every day. This suits you. TEZA Thank you - my mother says so also. [beat] We are to meet at another function - what if he talks to me again? MARQUE Talk is all well and good, but do not be alone. It is so humiliating to prove that you have not fallen into temptation. TEZA ugh [shudder] I could go my whole life without ever feeling that again. [bucks up] And I shall. I may talk to him, but I will never step out of the sight of the priests. We will both remain perfect. MARQUE Very good. TEZA I wish you could have come with me...but the temple handmaidens are devoted even earlier than we. MARQUE Well, I have news for you as well. My husband to be, [pleased] who has meals with my family more often than custom requires -hmm? - is really quite an amusing man. And very fond of me. I may not have my moment in the center of the universe, but I will have a good life. TEZA I am so pleased. And I will remember to petition for you. SOUND [hug noise] MOM MUSIC MOM Unhappy? How can you be unhappy? You have everything you could possibly want - your face in front of everyone, men at your beck and call, and attending all the best celebrations! What could you possibly be missing? [wheedling] you know I'm only doing this for you! You want this as much as I do! You've finally made it, honey, what more could any girl want? Every girl out there looks at you and cries herself to sleep wishing she could trade lives with you. That is enough to make anyone happy, isn't it? To be envied? How could you possibly be unhappy enough to do this? AMB MODERN DOCTOR Now take two of these every eight hours, to prevent infection, and change the dressings every 4 hours or so. MOM I'll keep her on schedule, don't you worry. And...this won't get out? DOCTOR It's hardly likely that people won't notice the change, even with the recuperation period, but I certainly don't keep in business by revealing personal info about my clientele. TESS Mom? MOM Don't worry, dear. Momma's right here. TESS You said I wouldn't feel it. MOM Does it hurt, honey? Here, doctor, can she have something for the pain? DOCTOR That's in the bag too, but do go light on them - you don't want to become dependent. MOM And when the scars heal, and everyone sees how lovely you are, with your new curves, you will be the envy of even more of the world. TESS [dully] Of course, mother. MOM MUSIC MOM Even perfection can be improved on. Beauty is pain. That which is prized most is always hardest to come by. If it was easy to be beautiful, everyone would want to be ugly instead. You cannot be special if everyone can easily achieve what you have. You must stand out. You must shine. Look into that mirror, dearest child, and tell me you don't love yourself even more each day as you come closer and closer to perfection. MUSIC - BOTH TEZA Life is pain TESS Beauty sucks. TEZA I am being remade in the image of the goddess. TESS Who decides what I should fucking look like? TEZA Painted and pierced. Smoothed and scented. I am treated like a queen. TESS If I have to have one more operation, I'll pee stitches. TEZA I bite the stick and let the pain carry me away as they mold my flesh. TESS I cry all night, silently, so my mother won't come and comfort me. AMB AZTEC TEZA See my new ear plugs? They made them larger again, and heavy. They almost touch my shoulders now. MARQUE Don't they hurt? TEZA Of course, but pain won't last forever. I rather coveted a nose piercing as well, but that is not suited to the lady. I am being remade in her image. MARQUE I really admire your hair. Such elegantly styled coils and plaits! TEZA Smell! Only the finest oils must touch me. Everything is moving so quickly - such a short time left before the day I ascend to the top of the sky. MARQUE Too bad it is not sooner - my sister will start her labor soon, and she could use a blessing from the lady of rivers. TEZA I can still burn offerings, like anyone else. MARQUE True, but I can't help but feel the word of the corn lady will be heard so much louder than mere mortals such as we. TEZA [laughs ruefully] I can ask any one of a legion of priests to guide me in my prayers, and they will gladly help - for it is goodly for the lady of the corn to look after those with child. MARQUE Would you? TEZA Yes. And the priests - well their voices will carry as far as they need to go. [they laugh] MOM MUSIC MOM The day is set, my child. You have reached the height. This can never be undone and leave you a nobody ever again. Everyone will see your face, and know - they will know - that you are the center of the universe. AMB MODERN TESS Who the hell am I? MOM What? Sweetie, you're-- TESS I used to know! I used to be Tess, a pretty and I dunno - slightly talented, maybe - high school student, and now--[sob catches] MOM Now, you're the most beautiful woman in the world - the magazine said so. It showed your absolute perfection-- TESS Not my perfection, mother - that's complete crap. I'm like - I'm like Mr. potato head, and you stuck hair and makeup and a pair of boobs on me - None of this is me! Who the hell am I? Did you ever ask? Did you ever care? MOM Honey! It's just icing on a wonderful cake. You like cake, don't you? [ingratiating] And isn't it better with frosting? TESS [through gritted teeth] I don't GET cake, mother, not unless I want to taste it both ways [eating and throwing up]. I don't even know if I could hold it down if I tried. MOM What the hell has got into you? TESS You couldn't even leave me my own name, could you? "Tess" just isn't supermodel material. And you didn't even choose it - you let a marketing firm do a survey and took their suggestions. MOM You got to pick one of the three they came up with-- TESS There isn't any me left under all this, mother! Nothing. I'm hollow. Empty. MOM Where are you going? TESS To find something to fill me. MOM MUSIC MOM Purpose. Purpose is enough, isn't it? You are moving forward, ever forward. The search for perfection is a road, not a destination. There is nothing wrong with embellishing the beauty you were born with. AMB AZTEC MARQUE [crying] It was horrible. TEZA I'm so sorry. I did what I could. MARQUE I know. She is with the gods, now, but it was so awful. I - I'm so scared. TEZA Why? MARQUE Watching her - watching the blood and the pain, hours and hours of it - and the baby died too! How can I ever choose to go through that? TEZA It is what women do. MARQUE You won't ever have to. TEZA [teasing a bit] I have to give life to the whole world. [serious] But I feel for you. And for your sister, and her baby. It is a tragedy. MARQUE Is there anything in life that doesn't hurt? TEZA Flowers. Chocolate. Love. MARQUE You know what I mean - important things. TEZA What is more important than Love? MARQUE [sniff, then a tiny sad uh-huh] MOM MUSIC MOM Only a few more days. Nothing must go wrong. You must be so very careful not to harm yourself, even a scratch or a nick will show. Only the most skilled may come to do your hair, massage, and dress you in the most beautiful garments. Nothing is left to chance. Nothing. Do you hear me? Nothing will go wrong, even if I have to hurt someone. MODERN AMB MOM I see you're feeling a little better? TESS [dull] Yes I took my medicine. MOM Good. Nothing like seeing a smile on my little girl's face again. And there's nothing wrong with using science to combat unhappiness. TESS Yes mother. MOM Unhappiness isn't natural. Especially for beautiful people. TESS Beautiful. MOM Dear. Don't frown. You don't want to get wrinkles! TESS Why don't I just lie here like a blob? That way I can't break a nail. MOM Are you sure you took your pills? TESS [sigh] MOM MUSIC MOM It is always darkest right before the dawn. And it is always tensest the night before the main event. You hold your breath and pray for dawn, the watch the shadows crawl across the ground, feeling like the final moment will never come. And once it arrives? Pfft. It is over. AZTEC AMB TEZA I'm happy you could sit vigil this night with me, mother. MOM How could I do otherwise, my darling chosen one? TEZA [teasing] You must relinquish your claim to me, since I am now the Corn lady. MOM [fondly, almost in tears] My lady of corn. I will never forget that I was able to contribute to the glory you represent. TEZA Without you I would not be here - would not be able to bring life to the crops for another year. MOM And yet it is a melancholy time as well. Knowing that the great lady will ascend to heaven tomorrow. TEZA I told Marque I will watch over her. I can watch you both. I have two eyes. MOM Can Teza give her mother a final kiss before the Corn lady must take her walk? TEZA Of course. [kiss noise] MOM MUSIC MOM And this is it. The end. What we have worked so hard for. I know it is a sad time. I feel sad too, but the triumph, the glory, the joy will outweigh the sorrow. MODERN AMB MOM What the hell do you mean, she's gone? TRAINER She was here for the opening - the talent portion is about to start, and she's not in the dressing room. MOM Have you checked the bathroom? TRAINER I asked every girl in there, and between yarks they said they hadn't seen her. MOM How could she do this to me? TRAINER Worse - her opening number gown is gone too, and it was a rental. AMB - MIXED [Tess is down, Teza is filled with joy] TEZA I gaze up the endless stairs TESS Knowing this will be my last trip BOTH I feel my sandals shift beneath my feet as I take the first step. TEZA With each step, the roaring grows louder TESS The voices in my head just won't shut up! TEZA I must go slowly, for while I cannot falter, neither can I look down. TESS My head is so heavy TEZA My crown is so weighty. BOTH I feel all those eyes upon me. TESS [shriek] They won't leave me alone! TEZA [ecstatic] They love me! TESS They hate me! TEZA Each step takes me higher. Closer to the heavens. TESS I haul myself up, one step at a time. TEZA My ears still ache - the pain reminds me of what I leave behind. TESS The pain of what I have become will never leave me. TEZA The scent of a thousand flowers, thrown by the crowd, surrounds me. TESS The hallway smells of puke. BOTH Only a few more steps. TEZA I thrill with fear and longing, yearning for the gods. TESS Please god don't let me fuck this up. TEZA The priests await me, stern and welcoming. TESS I see a face and don't recognize myself until I realize it's a mirror. TEZA The name me Chicomecoatl, and I know I have become the Lady of the corn. TESS I stare into the eyes in the mirror and have no clue who she is. BOTH I take up the cup. TEZA The drink warms me, and I love everyone. TESS I drink slowly, timing the pills - too fast and I'll barf it all up before it can work. TEZA My mind floats. BOTH I can't feel anything anymore. TEZA They gently lay me on the altar. TESS The bathroom tile is cool under my cheek. TEZA The knife above me catches light from Huitztipotchli's glory. TESS Everything is getting dark TEZA The knife falls and I transcend. TESS Everything goes black.

The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrockby T.S. Eliot (1888-1965) S'io credesse che mia risposta fosse A persona che mai tornasse al mondo, Questa fiamma staria senza piu scosse. Ma perciocche giammai di questo fondo Non torno vivo alcun, s'i'odo il vero, Senza tema d'infamia ti rispondo.Let us go then, you and I,When the evening is spread out against the skyLike a patient etherized upon a table;Let us go, through certain half-deserted streets,The muttering retreatsOf restless nights in one-night cheap hotelsAnd sawdust restaurants with oyster-shells:Streets that follow like a tedious argumentOf insidious intentTo lead you to an overwhelming question…Oh, do not ask, "What is it?"Let us go and make our visit.In the room the women come and goTalking of Michelangelo.The yellow fog that rubs its back upon the window-panes,The yellow smoke that rubs its muzzle on the window-panesLicked its tongue into the corners of the evening,Lingered upon the pools that stand in drains,Let fall upon its back the soot that falls from chimneys,Slipped by the terrace, made a sudden leap,And seeing that it was a soft October night,Curled once about the house, and fell asleep.And indeed there will be timeFor the yellow smoke that slides along the street,Rubbing its back upon the window-panes;There will be time, there will be timeTo prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet;There will be time to murder and create,And time for all the works and days of handsThat lift and drop a question on your plate;Time for you and time for me,And time yet for a hundred indecisions,And for a hundred visions and revisions,Before the taking of a toast and tea.In the room the women come and goTalking of Michelangelo.And indeed there will be timeTo wonder, "Do I dare?" and, "Do I dare?"Time to turn back and descend the stair,With a bald spot in the middle of my hair—[They will say: "How his hair is growing thin!"]My morning coat, my collar mounting firmly to the chin,My necktie rich and modest, but asserted by a simple pin—[They will say: "But how his arms and legs are thin!"]Do I dareDisturb the universe?In a minute there is timeFor decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse.For I have known them all already, known them all—Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons,I have measured out my life with coffee spoons;I know the voices dying with a dying fallBeneath the music from a farther room.

Do I dare to eat a peach?I shall wear white flannel trousers, and walk upon the beach.I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.I do not think that they will sing to me.I have seen them riding seaward on the wavesCombing the white hair of the waves blown backWhen the wind blows the water white and black.We have lingered in the chambers of the seaBy sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brownTill human voices wake us, and we drown.

I want to age like sea glass. Smoothed by tides, not broken. I want the currents of life to toss me around, shake me up and leave me feeling washed clean. I want my hard edges to soften as the years pass — made not weak, but supple. I want to ride the waves, go with the flow, feel the impact of the surging tides rolling in and out. When I am thrown against the shore and caught between the rocks and a hard place, I want to rest there until I can find the strength to do what is next. Not stuck — just waiting, pondering, feeling what it feels like to pause. And when I am ready, I will catch a wave and let it carry me along to the next place that I am supposed to be. I want to be picked up on occasion by an unsuspected soul and carried along — just for the connection, just for the sake of appreciation and wonder. And with each encounter, new possibilities of collaboration are presented, and new ideas are born. I want to age like sea glass so that when people see the old woman I'll become, they'll embrace all that I am. They'll marvel at my exquisite nature, hold me gently in their hands and be awed by my well-earned patina. Neither flashy nor dull, just the right luster. And they'll wonder, if just for a second, what it is exactly I am made of and how I got to be in this very here and now. And we'll both feel lucky to realize, once again, that we have landed in that perfectly right place at that profoundly right time. I want to age like sea glass. I want to enjoy the journey and let my preciousness be, not in spite of the impacts of life, but because of them. - Bernadette Noll --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kristina-welsome/message

Chris & Colin finally come out as American Idiot Era Green Day Fans! They attempt to digest all the new news from Billie Joe 'n the Boys before hunkering down for Green Day's first album 1,039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours (1991)
There’s some literature suggesting that people are more careful when they think in probabilities. If you ask them for a definite answer, they might give it and sound very confident, but if you encourage them to think probabilistically they might admit there’s more uncertainty. I wanted to look into this in the context of the recent Supreme Court confirmation hearings, so I asked readers to estimate their probability that Judge Kavanaugh was guilty of sexually assaulting Dr. Ford. I got 2,350 responses (thank you, you are great). Here was the overall distribution of probabilities. Horizontal axis is percent chance he did it; vertical axis is number of people who responded with that percent: This looks weird because people were most likely to give numbers rounded off the the nearest ten. I separated responses into bins from 0 – 9%, 10 – 19%, and so on to 90 – 100%. Keep in mind that the last bin is slightly larger than the others, so it might make it unfairly look like more people gave extreme high answers than extreme low answers. I also switched the vertical axis to percent of responses in each bin. Smoothed out, it looks like this: This looks pretty balanced, and it is: the average probability is 52.64%. This is probably a fake balance based on all the different demographic skews involved cancelling out: 2.5x as many Democrats as Republicans answered the survey, but 9x as many men as women did.

Let us go then, you and I, When the evening is spread out against the sky Like a patient etherized upon a table; Let us go, through certain half-deserted streets, The muttering retreats Of restless nights in one-night cheap hotels And sawdust restaurants with oyster-shells: Streets that follow like a tedious argument Of insidious intent To lead you to an overwhelming question . . . Oh, do not ask, ‘What is it?’ Let us go and make our visit. In the room the women come and go Talking of Michelangelo. The yellow fog that rubs its back upon the window-panes, The yellow smoke that rubs its muzzle on the window-panes, Licked its tongue into the corners of the evening, Lingered upon the pools that stand in drains, Let fall upon its back the soot that falls from chimneys, Slipped by the terrace, made a sudden leap, And seeing that it was a soft October night, Curled once about the house, and fell asleep. And indeed there will be time For the yellow smoke that slides along the street, Rubbing its back upon the window-panes; There will be time, there will be time To prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet; There will be time to murder and create, And time for all the works and days of hands That lift and drop a question on your plate; Time for you and time for me, And time yet for a hundred indecisions, And for a hundred visions and revisions, Before the taking of a toast and tea. In the room the women come and go Talking of Michelangelo. And indeed there will be time To wonder, ‘Do I dare?’ and, ‘Do I dare?’ Time to turn back and descend the stair, With a bald spot in the middle of my hair— [They will say: ‘How his hair is growing thin!’] My morning coat, my collar mounting firmly to the chin, My necktie rich and modest, but asserted by a simple pin— [They will say: ‘But how his arms and legs are thin!’] Do I dare Disturb the universe? In a minute there is time For decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse. For I have known them all already, known them all— Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons, I have measured out my life with coffee spoons; I know the voices dying with a dying fall Beneath the music from a farther room. So how should I presume? And I have known the eyes already, known them all— The eyes that fix you in a formulated phrase, And when I am formulated, sprawling on a pin, When I am pinned and wriggling on the wall, Then how should I begin To spit out all the butt-ends of my days and ways? And how should I presume? And I have known the arms already, known them all— Arms that are braceleted and white and bare [But in the lamplight, downed with light brown hair!] Is it perfume from a dress That makes me so digress? Arms that lie along a table, or wrap about a shawl. And should I then presume? And how should I begin? . . . . .

Smoothed by long fingers, Asleep . . . tired . . . or it malingers Stretched on the floor, here beside you and me. Should I, after tea and cakes and ices, Have the strength to force the moment to its crisis? But though I have wept and fasted, wept and prayed, Though I have seen my head [grown slightly bald] brought in upon a platter I am no prophet—and here’s no great matter; I have seen the moment of my greatness flicker, And I have seen the eternal Footman hold my coat, and snicker, And in short, I was afraid. And would it have been worth it, after all, After the cups, the marmalade, the tea, Among the porcelain, among some talk of you and me, Would it have been worth while To have bitten off the matter with a smile, To have squeezed the universe into a ball To roll it toward some overwhelming question, To say: ‘I am Lazarus, come from the dead, Come back to tell you all, I shall tell you all’— If one, settling a pillow by her head, Should say: ‘That is not what I meant at all. That is not it, at all.’ And would it have been worth it, after all, Would it have been worth while, After the sunsets and the dooryards and the sprinkled streets, After the novels, after the teacups, after the skirts that trail along the floor— And this, and so much more?— It is impossible to say just what I mean! But as if a magic lantern threw the nerves in patterns on a screen: Would it have been worth while If one, settling a pillow or throwing off a shawl, And turning toward the window, should say: ‘That is not it at all, That is not what I meant at all.’ No! I am not Prince Hamlet, nor was meant to be; Am an attendant lord, one that will do To swell a progress, start a scene or two Advise the prince; no doubt, an easy tool, Deferential, glad to be of use, Politic, cautious, and meticulous; Full of high sentence, but a bit obtuse; At times, indeed, almost ridiculous— Almost, at times, the Fool. I grow old . . . I grow old . . . I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled. Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat a peach? I shall wear white flannel trousers, and walk upon the beach. I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each. I do not think that they will sing to me. I have seen them riding seaward on the waves Combing the white hair of the waves blown back When the wind blows the water white and black.

Corina Schwitzke ist Gruppenleiterin im Institut für thermische Strömungsmaschinen (ITS) am KIT. Gudrun wollte gern ein Gespräch über partikelbehaftete Strömungen mit ihr führen, denn dies ist ein wichtiges Thema in beiden Arbeitsgruppen. In Corinas Institut gilt das Interesse vor allem der Zerstäubung von Kerosin zu feinen Tröpfchen in Flugtriebwerken Seit 10 Jahren gibt es dort Strömungssimulation mit einer sogenannten Partikelmethode. Die Partikel in dieser Anwendung sind Stützstellen der Rechenmethode und repräsentieren die Flüssigkeit, z.B. Kerosin, und das Gas, d.h. die verdichtete Luft. Vom Blickpunkt der Simulation aus sind die Partikel eigentlich nur Diskretisierungspunkte, die sich mit der Strömung mitbewegen. Sie repräsentieren dabei ein Volumen und die benutzten Koordinaten "schwimmen" mit dem Fluid, d.h. die Methode benutzt ein Lagrange-Koordinatensystem. Die Gleichungen, die der Simulation zugrunde liegen, sind die Navier-Stokes Gleichungen - zunächst isotherm. Falls die Temperaturänderung mitbetrachtet werden muss, dann erfolgt das durch das Lösen der Energiegleichung, für die die diskrete Fassung sehr einfach zu realisieren ist. Das für den Zerstäubungsprozess gut geeignete numerische Verfahren, das am ITS umgesetzt wurde (und dort auch noch weiter entwickelt wird) ist Smoothed particle Hydrodynamics (SPH). Die Methode wurde zu Beginn der 1970er Jahre für die Simulation von Galaxie-Entstehung entwickelt. Ein großer Vorteil ist, dass das Verfahren sich extrem gut parallel implementieren läßt und die Simulation Gebiete ausspart, wo zunächst nichts passiert. Außerdem ist es einfacher, die Physik des Tröpfchenzerfalls zu modellieren als mit den klassischen kontinuumsmechanischen Ansätzen. Der wichtigste Aspekt für die Simulation der Kraftstoffzerstäubung ist die Oberflächenspannung. Sie muss physikalisch und numerisch richtig beschrieben werden und führt dann dazu dass ein Flüssigkeitsfilm in Tropfen zerfällt. Hier geht das Wissen um Oberflächenspannungskoeffizienten ein, die aus Experimenten gewonnen werden ebenso wie die erwartbaren Kontaktwinkel an Wänden. Das Kräftegleichgewicht von angreifenden Scher- und Oberflächenkräften muss die modellierende Physik abbilden - die numerischen Partikel bekommen daraus direkt eine Geschwindigkeit zugewiesen, die auch ausdrückt, ob der Film reißt oder zusammenhängend bleibt. Diese Partikelmethode vermeidet die Probleme von gitterbasierten Verfahren beim Reißen des Films, denn Grenzflächen werden automatisch mittransportiert. Durch die gut skalierende parallele Implementierung ist es möglich, mit einigen Milliarden Partikeln zu rechnen. Die Ergebnisse der Simulationen haben vielfältige Anwendungen. Eine ist es Schadstoffemission zu minimieren. Das ist möglich durch erzwingen der vollständigen Verbrennung des Kraftstoffes oder durch die Vermeidung der Entstehung von Stick- und Schwefeloxiden im Prozess. Das kann durch die Kraftstoffverteilung und über die Temperaturniveaus gesteuert werden. Eine andere Anwendung, die mit diesen Ideen schon funktioniert, ist die Kühlung von Zahnrädern in Getrieben durch einen Flüssigkeitsstrahl. In Zukunft soll auch die Simulation von Zerstäubung einer Biomasse möglich werden, die nichtnewtonsche Fließeigenschaften hat. Das große Ziel am ITS, das in naher Zukunft umgesetzt werden soll, ist ein virtueller Prüfstand für Zerstäubungsprozesse. Corina Schwitzke (geb. Höfler) hat Verfahrenstechnik an der Uni Karlsruhe studiert mit einem Schwerpunkt in Richtung Strömungsmechanik und Verbrennungstechnik. Ihre Diplomarbeit fertigte sie in Los Angeles zu einem Thema im Kontext von Verbrennung an. Es folgte eine Promotion an der KIT-Fakultät Maschinenbau in Karlsruhe, in der sie die Grundlage für die physikalische Modellierung der Zerstäubung mittels der SPH-Methode leistete. Studierende aus der Technomathematik und Informatik sowie dem Maschinenbau unterstützen das Institut in der Implementierung des Verfahrens.Literatur und weiterführende Informationen M.C.

Acupuncture and herbs improve drug therapy outcomes for tachycardia and arrhythmias.
Kenn and Patrick discuss their love of early Green Day as they guide you through a track-by-track breakdown of the band's first compilation, 1,039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours. (This release is comprised of Green Day's actual debut 39/Smooth and its first two EPs: Slappy and 1,000 Hours.)
In anticipation of the ruling in Ferguson, Mo., the BBR Crew – Angry Engineer, J-Crush, The C.O. and Masta Talka – finally put a pony-tail on the game and delved into the buttery smooth songs of R&B and its role in Hip-Hop. This time focusing on male R&B stars, the crew put this whole episode on chill and given the uproar from Missouri it couldn’t have come at a better time. We talk about murderous officer Darren Wilson, King Obama’s royal proclamation on immigration reform, Winnie The Pooh’s questionable sexuality and of course Kim K’s butt in this sex filled edition. But, ha,ha – get it? Male R&B’s stars were the story this week. We hear from Jodeci, Case, Ne-Yo, Montel Jordan and Nate Dogg along with the likes of LL Cool J, Ghostface Killah, Missy Elliott and the Force MD’s. We also hear from Bill Cosby’s many, many sultry “dates.” Care for a pudding pop? It’ll make you feel good. Just put it in your mouth. It’s Boom Bap Radio.
Part 2 of my conversation with guest Ric Dube as we look at the career of '70s pop star Leo Sayer. I've also got music from Menace Beach, Thee Oh Sees and The Fresh & Onlys. Show notes: - Recorded at More Lost Time world HQ - Check out our new web series Trust Fund Challenge - In '77, Sayer hit it big with "You Make Me Feel Like Dancing" - Jumped on disco bandwagon - Hit #1 and was on charts for 17 weeks - Had a song in top 40 from Nov. '76 to Feb. '78 - "When I Need You" also hit #1 - Ric: Skate park memories - Smoothed out all the edges - We listened to a lot of kind of stuff at college newspaper - By the mid-80s, Sayer was a distant memory - "More Than I Can Say" was originally written by guys from The Crickets - Half country, half Fleetwood Mac - Sayer started doing covers in the '80s - Ric loves Anzac biscuits from Australia - "Sheetwood Mac" - Sayer had some UK hits in the '80s - Ric talks up the post - What happened to Beck? - An Australian artist remixed "Thunder in My Heart" in 2006 and it went to #1 there - Sayer did Beatles covers for All This and World War II, a pseudo-documentary that bombed - Voiced Dan the Forest Ranger in Canadian cartoon called The Raccoons on Ice Music: Menace Beach - Fortune Teller Thee Oh Sees - I Was Denied The Fresh & Onlys - Fascinated Completely Conspicuous is available through the iTunes podcast directory.

The entire Boom Bap Radio crew got together for the first time in weeks and it felt soooo good! How good? We got all smooth and silky and somehow our Hip-Hop got mixed with R&B, but the two were delicious together. Despite the high spirits, J-Crush, The Angry Engineer, C.O. and Masta Talka were forced to tackle the government shutdown, delusional Republicans, killer biker cops and the awarding of the Noble Peace Prize. F.U. Vladimir Putin! We seriously did hold it down for Hip-Hop – Biggie, Redman, Lil Kim; Ludacris; Eminem; DMX and The Roots helped us find our creamy center. Man, I wish Kanye wasn’t so tortured. Now where are my leather jogging pants? It’s Boom Bap Radio!
Smoothed out breaks and laid back selections.
