When the great lord passes, the wise peasant bows deeply and silently farts.
Ethiopian proverb
Keep in mind the following: People trying to make a show of their authority are easily deceived by the surrender tactic. Your outward sign of submission makes them feel important; satisfied that you respect them, they become easier targets for a later counterattack, or for the kind of indirect ridicule used by Brecht. Measuring your power over time, never sacrifice long-term maneuverability for the short-lived glories of martyrdom.
Interpretation
The Hollywood 19's confrontational approach won them a lot of sympathy, and years later they gained a kind of vindication in public opinion. But they were also blacklisted, and lost valuable years of profitable working time. Brecht, on the other hand, expressed his disgust at the committee more indirectly. It was not that he changed his beliefs or compromised his values; instead, during his short testimony, he kept the upper hand by appearing to yield while all the time running circles around the committee with ague responses, outright lies that went unchallenged because they were wrapped in enigmas, and word games. In the end he kept the freedom to continue his revolutionary writing (as opposed to suffering imprisonment or detainment in the United States), even while subtly mocking the committee and its authority with his pseudo-obedience.
After only an hour of questioning, the committee members had had enough. "Thank you very much," said the chairman, "You are a good example to the [other] witnesses." Not only did they free him, they offered to help him if he had any trouble with immigration officials who might detain him for their own reasons. The following day, Brecht left the United States, never to return.
Brecht's English was more than adequate, but he used an interpreter throughout his testimony, a tactic that allowed him to play subtle games with language. When committee members found Communist leanings in lines from English editions of his poems, he would repeat the lines in German for the interpreter, who would then retranslate them; and somehow they would come out innocuous. At one point a committee member read one of Brecht's revolutionary poems out loud in English, and asked him if he had written it. "No," he responded, "I wrote a German poem, which is very different from this." The author's elusive answers baffled the committee members, but his politeness and the way he yielded to their authority made it impossible for them to get angry with him.
Unlike the other witnesses, Brecht answered the question of whether he belonged to the Communist Party: He was not a member, he said, which happened to be the truth. One committee member asked him, "Is it true you have written a number of revolutionary plays?" Brecht had written many plays with overt Communist messages, but he responded, "I Hitler and, of course, they can be considered, therefore, as revolutionary because I, of course, was for the overthrow of that government." This statement went unchallenged.
The committee finally summoned Brecht on October 30. They expected him to do what others among the Hollywood 19 who had testified before him had done: Argue, refuse to answer questions, challenge the committee's right to hold its hearing, even yell and hurl insults. Much to their surprise, however, Brecht was the very picture of congeniality. He wore a suit (something he rarely did), smoked a cigar (he had heard that the committee chairman was a passionate cigar smoker), answered their questions politely, and generally deferred to their authority.
Brecht disagreed. What good was it, he asked, to play the martyr and gain a little public sympathy if in the process they lost the ability to stage their plays and sell their scripts for years to come? He felt certain they were all more intelligent than the members of the committee. Why lower themselves to the level of their opponents by arguing with them? Why not outfox the committee by appearing to surrender to it while subtly mocking it? The Hollywood 19 listened to Brecht politely, but decided to stick to their plan, leaving Brecht to go his own way.
Both Rrap’s cast bronze and welded Speechless (2017) and Dupain’s iconic silver gelatin print Sunbaker (1937) illustrate how context can shift perceptions of what it means to be Australian, revealing the evolving messages across generations. Seeking to capture the male physique through stark contrasts, Dupain uses an achromatic palette and resulting chiaroscuro; whereas Rrap utilises traditional materials in a contemporary manner to symbolise a contest between power and voice, creating a dialogue around agency through the lectern and it’s interactive nature for the audience. Through a low-angle perspective in Sunbaker, the figure's body mass and vitality are accentuated against an almost abstract, sun-soaked background, which unintentionally became iconic in the 70s as a symbol of Australian identity and the nation’s association with leisure. Rrap’s work conversely encourages interactivity, allowing viewers to either lie down and be 'speechless' or take a stand at the lectern to discuss pressing political issues. Unveiling the dynamics of communication this choice contrasts with Dupain’s more static representation of the human form. Contrasting in their methods of engagement, with Dupain presenting a more observational and representational approach and Rrap fostering a participatory experience where her artwork is far more conscious. Together in the presentation context of the ‘Under the Sun’ NSW exhibition, both artists challenge the viewer to consider their relationship with Australian identity and the power of expression.
To realize that within our grasp, in Zeta Tau Alpha, lies the opportunity to learn those things which will ever enrich and ennoble our lives; to be true to ourselves, to those within and without our circle; to think in terms of all mankind and our service in the world; to be steadfast, strong, and clean of heart and mind, remembering that since the thought is father to the deed, only that which we would have manifested in our experience should be entertained in thought; to find satisfaction in being, rather than seeming, thus strengthening in us the higher qualities of the spirit; to prepare for service and learn the nobility of serving, thereby earning the right to be served; to seek understanding that we might gain true wisdom; to look for the good in everyone; to see beauty, with its enriching influence; to be humble in success, and without bitterness in defeat; to have the welfare and harmony of the Fraternity at heart, striving ever to make our lives a symphony of high ideals, devotion to the right, the good, and the true, without a discordant note; remembering always that the foundation precept of Zeta Tau Alpha was Love, “the greatest of all things.”
Reservation policy fails to achieve its purpose of giving equal opportunity to everyone because of lack
of infrastructure in the rural areas of the country where the proportion of backward classes is
significant. A number of people living in some remote areas in Orissa, M. P. or Bihar are not even aware
of these policies. They are deprived of even primary education and basic employment which make them
more backward financially. It fails to establish which causes disequilibrium in the status of the states.
The total reservation quota stands at 49% in many states of India and this includes the SCs, STs and
OBCs. The trend seems to have shifted to reverse discrimination rather than more affirmative action.
Some backward class’s elite have gained political and economic clout based on this reservation.
However a majority of the backward classes is not living any differently than before because their
subsistence is meagre and rural lifestyles do not provide them with any of the benefits. The worst thing
is that many are not even aware of these policies, especially in the interior parts of the nation. Thus a
distinct economic class system exists within the backward classes. Mostly undeserving people have
gained the advantages and the deserving ones are still without any significant positive change in their
plight. It is interesting to note that the constitutional provisions regarding reservations which explicitly
single out certain castes for special preferential treatment contradicts the documents prohibition on
discrimination based on caste, race and other such other criteria. Besides, despite the creation of
commissions to monitor the implementation of reservation policy by the centre the constitution gives
great liberties to the individual states to determine the quantity and limits of reservation which often
lead to exploitation. In reality there is no abolishment of caste system. Instead the disparity increases
because of antagonistic attitude on both sides.

I am pleased to accept this award for distinguished service in the field of forensic pathology.
I shall value it equally with my other awards for distinguished service in the field of forensic pathology.
I have many. Forensic science is a magical thing.
Magical and disgusting. I cannot tell you the number of times
I have been overwhelmed by the sheer horror of it all yet still persevered
because that is what life is about
or in the instance of forensic pathology
what death is about one will never win awards if one does not persevere
through the grotesque and the macabre.
That is the truth, and I advise you all to make note of it. (pause)
have you noted it? I shall give you several more seconds to complete the note (pause)
very good. As I was saying throughout my career
I have persevered in my relentless pursuit for answers.
My peers and my subordinates have recognized all the questions
I have answered and now I have this new award which is very nice.
At this time, I will be happy to answer questions from the audience.

I hate living by the hospital
The sirens go all night
I used to joke that if they woke you up
Somebody better be dying
Sick of the questions I keep asking you
They make you live in the past
But I can count on you to tell me the truth
When you've been drinking and you're wearing a mask
Baby, it's Halloween
And we can be anything
Oh, come on, man
We can be anything
Always surprised by what I do for love
Some things I never expect
They killed a fan down by the stadium
Was only visiting, they beat him to death
Baby, it's Halloween
And we can be anything
Oh, come on, man
We can be anything
Baby, it's Halloween
There's a last time for everything
Oh, come on, man
We can be anything
Whatever you want
I'll be whatever you want
Whatever you want
Be whatever you want
I'll be whatever you want
Whatever you want
I'll be whatever you want
Whatever you want
Whatever you want
In matters of principal, stand like a rock; in matters of taste, swim with the current. Give up money, give up fame, give up science, give up earth itself and all it contains, rather than do an immoral act. And never suppose that in any situation, or under any circumstances, it is best for you to do a dishonorable thing. Whenever you are to do a thing, though it can never be known but to yourself, ask yourself how you would act were all the world looking at you, and act accordingly.
Duty, honor, country: Those three hallowed words reverently dictate what you ought to be, what you can be, what you will be. They are your rallying point to build courage when courage seems to fail, to regain faith when there seems to be little cause for faith, to create hope when hope becomes forlorn.
Article 5 of the Code of Conduct: When questioned, should I become a prisoner of war, I am required to give name, rank, Service number, and date of birth. I will evade answering further questions to the upmost of my ability. I will make no oral or written statements disloyal to my country and its allies or harmful to their cause.
Article 6 of the Code of Conduct: I will never forget that I am an American, fighting for freedom, responsible for my actions, and dedicated to the principles which made my country free. I will trust in my God and in the United States of America.
I read part of an article called, "Say What, Horse." It was originally published in the magazine "Muse" in 2017. The article shares about three studies done related to the ways horses are able to communicate. In the article, author Jessie Haas says, "...Horses have been watching us, reading our moods, and communicating in ways we usually fail to understand, but science is finally catching on to that and is taking a fresh look..." New research revealed in the article shows that horses are able to read human facial expressions, use their own expressions to try to "talk back" to us, and learn to communicate with symbols.
"Union is strength" means unity is the biggest power that can defeat or face any kind of situation or problem existed in this world. We all have heard a lot of stories about strength of union in our childhood, one of them was about a farmer who had four sons but they always fought against each other. Some day their father gave a stick to them and ordered to break it, every one quickly broken it then father asked them to collect all the sticks and bind it with rope. Again he asked all his sons to break it. Everyone tried but couldn't succeed. Then, their father made them realized the power of unity.
