The scenes of the situational comedy Spiffies and Loonies. in which she intervenes have been collected to constitute this booklet for actors and actresses who wish to impersonate that outrageous individual for its own sake. Mr. Van Moo is driven by her secret desire to become the lover of a handsome young man, Brad, her passion being disguised as a sort of motherly protection. At a time she even plans to marry him, although Brad is deeply in love with a peach of a girl named Dolly, and soon becomes her husband. She stalks him in various indirect ways to the extent that everybody worries about the consequences. In order to get rid of her family duties, she tries to make her son, Mickey, marry Twiggy, both being against the match.
Mrs. Hazel Twittle excerpts from Spiffies and Loonies
This is a collection of the scenes from the situational comedy Spiffies and Loonies in which intervenes Mrs. Hazel Twittle, a fiftyish prude and a dimwit that belongs to the theatre of the grotesque. At the beginning, she is a chambermaid. After she has come into a comfortable income from Brad, her cousin's son, she travels abroad, where she has the knack for antagonizing everybody because she can't help expressing her strong disapproval of things she doesn't like. Eventually she returns home frustrated, and settles in a Brighton boarding house to give herself time to find a suitable home. There, she makes friends with Polly, a crook who pretends she is a nun working as a nurse, and who quickly talks her into donating fat cheques for various fake foundations. Finally Mrs. Twittle is confronted with a hippie child psychologist who proves to be an ignorant narcissistic sociopath.

Ce livre est le rapport romance de voyages aux Philippines attribue au personnage de Quentin Cumber, surnomme Cucumber "Concombre". C'est aussi une satire des milieux francais de la recherche en sciences humaines, teintee d'un hommage respectueux a ces universitaires qui travaillent sur des sujets difficiles dans des conditions mesquines. De Quentin Cumber, on pourrait dire qu'il ne savait pas ou il allait; neanmoins il y est alle quand meme et en est revenu. Il aurait pu ne pas y retourner de peur que la magie de la premiere fois soit ternie par les couches successives des nouvelles visites et des mises au point qui se feraient d'elles-memes, mais il y est retourne jusqu'au jour ou il a compris qu'il avait perdu a jamais sa vision innocente, car ce n'est pas impunement que l'on analyse ses impressions.

Spiffies and Loonies is a situational comedy developed into 88 episodes. It departs from the typical ones, in which the plot hinges on the emotional and irrational decisions made by the lead characters. The opposite happens here. First of all, Brad and Dolly meet, fall in love and marry. To make things worse, they become rich after a few episodes. They are therefore geared to lead the eventless life of the happy few. Fortunately they are surrounded by misfits warped by one big deviant trait. When these do not bump into Brad and Dolly along the way, they will come and knock on their door - thus a turmoil of events running from the amusing to the fantastic, with a lot of absurdities in between.You will soon be captivated by the antics of these cartoon-like characters, and will ask for more. Several passages are spoofs of literary works. Each episode is independent enough from the others to be read or performed for its own sake.

Under the influence of the lyrical drama of Medieval Japan called "Noh (Nogaku)", William Butler Yeats (1865-1939) wrote ten short plays to be performed for small elite audiences. These plays constitute his "noble theatre". They fall into two generations. Six plays belong to the first generation: At the Hawk's Well (1917), The only Jealousy of Emer (1919), The Dreaming of the Bones (1919), Calvary (1920), The Cat and the Moon (1926), a farce, and Resurrection (1931). The second generation comprises four plays: A Full Moon in March (1935), The King of the Great Clock Tower (1935), Purgatory (1939), and The Death of Cuchulain (1939).

This is a modest digest of what should be known about the life and deeds of Koxinga (Zheng Chenggong), the Ming military mandarin who founded Chinese Taiwan, and belonged to a family of international traders commanding a vast fortune and a fleet of merchantmen. Sometimes, instead of smoothly following its predictable course, history swerves to another direction because of an unexpected event. When Ming China was invaded by the Manchus, instead of collaborating to make even more profits, Koxinga launched a resistance movement. Yet, his fate was apparently sealed for hadn't he been compelled by tradition to celebrate his birthday during the siege of Nanking, he would not have been defeated by the Manchus the morning after. If he had not died suddenly the year he ordered the Spaniards of Manila to pay him a tribute as to their sovereign, the Philippines would now be an overseas Chinese territory like Taiwan.

Tagalog, spoken in Manila and the surrounding provinces, Luzon, Philippines, is a major language of the western branch of the Austronesian family. The bulk of this book is devoted to parallel words also found in Malay, a member of the same branch. These words are either cognates descending from Proto-Austronesian or borrowings from the same foreign languages. Other cognates were found in Javanese, Malagasy, Tahitian and even Siamese. The last third of the book deals with Sanskrit, Arabic, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese and English loanwords.

This book is the translation and the analysis of the Paglayonan manuscript of ten folios from the collections of the Newberry Library. The document is a compilation of official deeds from the Laguna town of Liliw, Philippines. They report two events that took place in the Seventeenth Century: the one concerns the genteel Paglayunan family, the other the making of an altarpiece for the church of San Juan-Bautista de Lilio by Chinese craftsmen from Siniluan, another Laguna town. Both give insights into provincial life during the Early Spanish Period. The most striking feature is that the Tagalogs who wrote these texts used the term hari, generally translated as 'king', to refer to their parish priest.

Although reserved for adults, because some examples are inevitably pornographic, this monograph is a serious study of the Tagalog lexicon concerning sex, genitals, reproduction, eroticism and love. The bulk is taken from the earliest Tagalog dictionaries by Spanish clerics (San Buenaventura 1613, Noceda & San Lucar 1754, 1860), whereas slang terms come from modern research and publications available on the internet. The book begins with a description of the ancient Tagalog society as can be inferred from old sources. It is followed by a rich lexicon. Terms are entered in the typical unaccented spelling now in current usage. Each entry is then re-spelt with diacritics that represent features left out in the current system. Occasionally an IPA phonetic transcription is added. The government of a verb is clearly indicated. Whenever possible an example is supplied.

Il y aurait environ 130 000 sans-abri en France. Ils sont difficiles d nombrer, car les sans-papiers et les invisibles sont compliqu s r pertorier; on en compte parfois jusqu' 200 000. 17% d'entre eux sont des femmes, et 20% ont moins de 25 ans. Parmi les SDF g s de 16 18 ans, la proportion de femmes atteint 70%. Juridiquement, une personne n'ayant pas de domicile fixe n'est pas forc ment un clochard ou un sans-abri, mais quelqu'un qui doit se doter d'un livret ou un carnet de circulation .

This book provides a systematic and unified methodology, including basic principles and reusable processes, for dynamic memory management (DMM) in embedded systems. The authors describe in detail how to design and optimize the use of dynamic memory in modern, multimedia and network applications, targeting the latest generation of portable embedded systems, such as smartphones. Coverage includes a variety of design and optimization topics in electronic design automation of DMM, from high-level software optimization to microarchitecture-level hardware support. The authors describe the design of multi-layer dynamic data structures for the final memory hierarchy layers of the target portable embedded systems and how to create a low-fragmentation, cost-efficient, dynamic memory management subsystem out of configurable components for the particular memory allocation and de-allocation patterns for each type of application. The design methodology described in this book is based on propagating constraints among design decisions from multiple abstraction levels (both hardware and software) and customizing DMM according to application-specific data access and storage behaviors.

Understanding Attractive Work in a Globalized World

Understanding Attractive Work in a Globalized World

Springer Verlag, Singapore

This book discusses organizational values and their implications for perceived attractiveness and effectiveness of the workplace through cross-cultural research in India and Sweden. The authors provide information on how organizational values are conceptualized, presented and perceived by manager-level employees through cases from manufacturing, information technology (IT), healthcare, and education sectors in a developing and fast-growing economy like India versus a developed and stabilized economy like Sweden. Comparative results from these two very different countries provide knowledge that can be applied to make the workplace attractive in the context of globalized business processes. The authors present corporate social responsibility (CSR) and equal opportunities for men and women in the organization (EO) as important values in making the workplace attractive, where attractiveness is conceived in terms of organizational commitment and employees’ intention to leave. Thetwo selected values are particularly important as India is the first country in the world to come up with a mandatory CSR law, whereas Sweden has a long history of CSR and EO. The book demonstrates how work organizations in both countries are promoting these values to meet the challenges of attraction and retention of employees. The findings in this book are based on data gathered from various sources and sample groups in India and Sweden. The book generates insight and valuable information for researchers of organizational psychology, human resource management, cross-cultural management, as well as for work managers and HR professionals.
