Prepping gallery projections for MoMA's "Rauschenberg: Among Friends" | AT THE MUSEUM - Duration: 3:28.
Aaron: So the transparent screen is showing performance footage of the same slideshow
we're showing in the gallery.
When the performance was shot, the white balance was created in such a way that it adds a blue
tinge to the slides, so basically our choice now is—if we want them to match—do we
try to add a blue tinge to the wall?
Or do we try to remove the blue from the footage?
Leah: Oh, I don't think we should make the slides blue.
That would be…
Charlie: No, they're beautiful in black and white.
Aaron: So I think we should look at maybe trying to desaturate the performance footage
and try to get them to work better together that way.
Leah: Well, I think we should test it in the space though just to see…
Charlie: I brought my computer because I have everything laid out on my computer…
Leah: You know, my instinct is to keep the color because it tells you it's something
different, you know, and that it's live.
Charlie: Well, if you look at it in the wide shot you'll see…
That's when it's really blue.
But everything is blue, that's the thing.
The floor is blue.
Leah: I see what you're talking about.
The one thing that I do like about having it in color is that it keeps some sense that
it's different in character from the slide projection, that it's a continually re-performed
work, and this is one…
But I wonder if we can get it less blue and keep the sense of it being in color or whether
you think that really the only way we can make it work is to…
Charlie: Well, you can desaturate it and everything gets desaturated and it's still color.
Leah: Well, Charlie, I'm going to leave that decision to you.
Charlie: I'm not that bothered by the fact that it's blue versus this—because it
is two different things.
But I was just trying to make it match…
Aaron: Well, we certainly don't want people to think that this is one piece that is being
staged in a gallery.
Leah: Yeah, and the more discrepant things are, the more it seems like maybe we should
just try to tell people that this is how it looks in the context of a performance.
Mack: And what about that?
Leah: What about what?
Aaron: There will be some spill.
Mack: It will be like this more than like this, but…
Leah: You mean spill on the floor?
Aaron: Yeah, but you see that bottom right corner which is representative of the actual…
Leah: I don't know…
Charlie: I like it.
Mack: It looks really good there.
Charlie: Yeah.
I'm just wondering if you want to put something on the floor to make it even, but maybe not…
Leah: Actually the colors on the floor are pretty good!
Mack: The issue is that you see the keystoning on the floor.
Charlie: I like that.
I mean, that's what happens when you project from above…
Aaron: I mean, this is two layers of the film, so actually if you look at one layer it will
then be much more on the floor.
And it's a little sharper because the two layers soften it just a touch—soften the
edges.
Leah: Can we try it that way, and if we change our minds we add another layer?
Aaron: Sure.
Leah: Okay.
Yeah, I love it actually.
I really love it.
I think people are just going to stay here mesmerized.

Apple's Volume Purchase Program, (or VPP,) allows organizations to purchase apps and
distribute them to students or employees, while retaining the ability to reassign licenses
as needed to make sure the right people have the right apps.
To integrate Jamf Pro with Apple's Volume Purchase Program, we'll need to first register
a VPP account with Apple.
Once that's complete, we can continue with the process.
If you've already integrated your Jamf Pro instance with VPP and are looking for help
renewing your already-existing VPP token, check out our "Renewing a Volume Purchase
Program Token" video by clicking here, or following the link in the description below.
First, we'll need to have a Volume Purchase Program account registered with Apple.
Then, we can log in to Apple's Volume Purchase Program portal with your VPP account.
To retrieve your VPP token, click on your username, then "Account Summary."
Next, choose "Download Token" to retrieve your VPP token.
Now we'll upload this token to the Jamf Pro Server.
First, log in to Jamf Pro.
In the top right corner of the page, click the "Settings" gear.
Then, choose "Global Management" and then click "VPP Accounts."
Click "New."
Here, enter a display name for the account.
Now click the "Upload Service Token" button, and choose the token you downloaded from Apple's
VPP portal.
Choose the country that is associated with the VPP account.

How to ace an English job interview - Duration: 49:44.
Hey. Come on everybody. It's going to start.
Well, that's true. But you know it took...Who did that?
Hello everybody. Welcome to The English Show. Welcome. I'm Vicki and I'm an English teacher. And with
me is my good friend, Fluency MC. Hey, hey, hey. I'm Fluency. I'm also an English teacher
and I'm a trainer and knowledge entertainer and welcome to another edition of The English
Show. And the other person we want you to meet is the guy who's making it all happen.
Jay, are you there? Jay! Hey everybody. I'm right here in the control room. I'm running
the show. And I'm sure you're going to enjoy all the things we have for you today. Go Jay!
Another person you're going to meet later is Shanthi from English with a Twist. Our
special guest! Yeah, and we're going to learn about job interviews today, and how to ace
an English job interview. What does it mean to "ace" an interview, Vicki? It means to
be really successful at the interview so you get the job. Right. But first of all, I'd
like to come to Paris. Oh, would you? Do you think Jay can bring you once again? Jay, do
you think you can help me get to Paris today? Come visit me. How am I getting to Paris this
week Jay? This week you're going to swim there. Oooh, that's a long way to swim. Yes, you're
going to need some help. Grab his tail.
Wow, I'm here. That was exciting. Look, I've made it.
I'm here. Oh, Whoa. Here she is again, everybody. Back in Paris. High five. High
five. Vicki Hollett in Paris! Yeah. Wow, so is that the first time you've traveled by
water? I think that's the first time I've ever swum here. Yeah. I had to be... I had
to be very energetic to get here. Was that a porpoise or a dolphin or...? I think it
was a dolphin. Ah must be. And actually, we're here with somebody very energetic who's based
in the UK. Shanti, are you there? Yes I am. I'm here. Hi everyone. Welcome to the English
Show. It's great to have you. Oh, it's lovely to be here. Because we all want to know how
we can ace a job interview. And we know that you're going to be able to help us. Oh yes.
That I can, indeed. Of course, one of the things you have to do is make a good first
impression. Have you got any good tips for that?
When you arrive, have a nice smile, a firm handshake and be smart - well dressed, good
haircut - nothing too strange, depending on the job you're applying for. Ok, so smile,
that's an important one, isn't it? Yes. And make sure you look smart. Yes, and also good
eye contact. You know, look the person in the eye with a nice smile and a firm handshake
please. None of the limp handshakes. That is terrible. I don't know about you, but I
just hate those. That's true, isn't it. A firm handshake suggests confidence. Indeed,
yes, and it shows confidence and it shows that, you know, that you're serious. OK. So,
imagine that I'm at a job interview, and the interviewer asks me a question like "Can you
tell me about yourself?" OK. It's a very general question. What does it mean? You really do
have to think hard. Because what they want you to do is briefly summarize who you are
and what you're experience is. And that's basically what most interviewers are asking.
Uh huh. There are some other tricky questions they might have too, like "What's your proudest
achievement?" You know, I always say to my clients you have to really think hard, because
what the interviewer is asking you really is how you solved a problem. They want to
see your problem solving skills and how you achieved that, not just the results. So, how
you solved a a problem. But they'll be interested in the results as well, perhaps. Oh yes. So
what you're doing is, you start off with what was the situation, then what you did to deal
with that problem and then what were the results at the end. And, when you're giving results,
be specific. Give numbers. Quantify your achievement. Don't just say 'sales increased, you know
we had a good sales outcome.' They want to know by how many percent, by how much. What
did you do? So, always give numbers. Be specific. Oh, so that's another good tip for us. So,
another tricky one... in fact, I can remember being asked this at a job interview... 'What's
your greatest strength?' That was all right. But then they said, "What's your greatest
weakness?" Yes. Always difficult, isnt' it, because you don't want to say too much about
your weaknesses. But the key here really, is turning that weakness into a strength.
One of the things about weakness is it's demonstrating your self awareness. So, pinpoint an area.
So for example, if you are someone who puts a lot of attention to detail, so you could
be detail orientated. But, it could also be that you're too concerned about details. So
that particular job requires you to complete it in a certain amount of time and you are
focused on too much detail. That is a weakness. So then, what you want to do, is to show how
you've overcome that weakness. You're aware of it, so this is what you try and do. Maybe
you set yourself some time lines. So that's what they're trying to look at also and how
you've overcome that weakness. That's interesting. So it's not just a question of trying to find
a weakness that isn't really a weakness... you need to be honest. Yes. But you also need
to tell them how you've overcome it and got round it. Have you got any weaknesses, Fluency?
I sure do. Shanthi, it's really interesting what you're saying about different types of
questions interviewers might ask that all connect to the idea of how did you solve a problem.
Because when you're also... when you're talking about a weakness that they might want to know
about, you said 'something you're trying to overcome.' So, it seems like problem solving
skills - both at the job and also with yourself, your personality - kind of connect in a way.
Yeah, I mean it is very much that, because what you're looking at is also self awareness,
self knowledge of your strengths and weaknesses. Because we're all going to have that. One
of the key things I always say when you're applying for a job - look at the key skills
they're looking at in your job specification. And you've got to really think hard about
what are the skills that you have where you are strong at and perhaps where you're going
to be a bit weaker. But then you've got to find a way to turn that round into a strength.
That's another good tip isn't it? Very good, yeah. To make sure you study those job specifications
so you can match what you're saying to what they're looking for. Yeah. People will see
through waffle. And they will see see through - if you're not being honest. Because what
happens when we're not being honest, we start waffling, we start talking too much, we start
rambling, and we're not focused. And an interviewer can see right through that. One of the other
things I always say to my clients, particularly where they're having an interview in English
which is not their native language - is to not be afraid of pausing for a while. You
know, we all get very nervous, we get get worried. And all of us do that. And then the
tendency is to rush into the answer... with the answer. And what I always says is "...just
give yourself a few seconds and you know pause and then answer the question." It doesn't
show that, you know, you don't have the answer but it just shows that you're in control,
um, of what you're about to say. That's another good tip, isn't it? Yeah. I mean I... Don't
rush in. Yeah - you rushed in, Fluency. Ha ha ha ha. I was so excited that Shanthi started
talking about when you're not a native speaker since before that we hadn't really talked
about that. I mean that advice that we're giving here - Shanthi's giving is great for
everybody - but it's... when I work with students who are learning English, and you just prepare
for job interivews, it's even more important to be more prepared for the types of questions
that will be asked, and also, as Shanthi said, to uh... it's OK to pause and I want to add,
and I think you'll agree Shanthi, it's OK to ask to clarify the question and to be prepared
with ways to ask "...do you mean that this" ... or because that's also a way to show that
you're solving a problem, trying to do something the right way as opposed to just pretending
you understood. Yeah. That's really important, isn't it, to make sure that you've understood the
question. You don't want to answer the wrong one. Absolutely, because actually it takes
a lot of confidence say I didn't quite get that - what you're asking me is this... or
maybe repeat that question so that it is down to the interviewer to confirm what they've
just asked. Because sometimes they're not that clear. Don't put yourself at a lower
level just because you are not a proficient speaker of English and assume that they're
always right or they're always clear. If you haven't understood don't make it "...I'm so
sorry, I haven't understood." No. Turn it over to them to repeat their questions.
You know I often have that problem with you Jay. With me? Yeah, I ask one question and
then you answer another. I never do that! I think that is selective hearing. You know,
speaking of questions, I think it's time for question Time. Question time everybody!
OK, we had a question from Nandish. Ah. And she asked about the difference between two words: achieve
and accomplish. Ah I can see why. Well, they're very similar, aren't they?. Yeah, yeah. And
I had to think about it and go check my answers. But what it's about is 'achieve' is what we
say when we're thinking about the end result of something. So it's very results oriented.
'He achieved greatness and was awarded a Nobel Prize.' But accomplish refers to the process
of doing something - of getting something done. So you've got achieve which is about the end
result and you've got accomplish which is about the process. Right. So another example
could be you can accomplish a lot without actually achieving your goal. Hmmm. Interesting.
Yeah. Yeah. And of course in a job interview, they're going to ask you about both, aren't
they? Yeah, what are your accomplishments? What have you achieved, yes. And it's useful
to know the difference. So you're working a job and you have a sales target for the
year. So that is your goal. That is your objective. You have to achieve that sales target. So
in between that you have to do things. So you have to accomplish different tasks and
jobs to get to that sales target. But sometimes you can do a lot of things so you can have
accomplished them, but you don't necessarily achieve that target. Excellent, yes, good
example. Yeah. I'm ready for a conversation. What do you think? Is it time for 'Conversation Time? '
I'm going to show you a business conversation
today and I'm only going to show you the first half at first, and your task is to listen
and to work out 'What's the conversation about?', what are they discussing, and 'What's going
to happen?' So what it's about - the topic - and then what's going to happen next because
you're going to stop it. Is that right? That's right. Are you ready? Ready.
We have big plans for you, Graham. We're going to give you a promotion.
You're going to be our sales manager for all of Asia.
OK, so 'We have big... What was the missing word? Plans. We have big plans for you Graham.
We're going to give you a... And the missing word was promotion. So a promotion is when
you move up a level in your job. You're going to be our... sales manager for all of Asia.
So did you get that Fluency? I did. It was really short, but I caught it. OK. What do
you think is going to happen next? Hmmm. My guess is that Graham is going to jump for
joy because he's been wanting this promotion forever. Do you think that too, Shanthi? Erm,
yes. It could be he does, or, I don't know, he wasn't looking terribly excited. So maybe
he's thinking Oooo. Maybe he wants to ask a few more questions. I don't know. OK. Let
me tell you. Shanthi. Yes, you're right. What! Yes! Yes! And Fluency. Oh my god. Does Shanthi
get special treatment? Is that.... Absolutely! Absolutely! Shall we look at it everybody?
We have big plans for you, Graham. We're going to give you a promotion.
You're going to be our sales manager for all of Asia.
Gee, I'm sorry guys but I quit. You're resigning?
Yeah, I got a better job.But we had everything planned.
Wow! That came out of left field. OK guys. So Shanthi, you were right. And in
fact what he did was he quit. Quit is a very informal way of saying resign. In fact we've
got resign coming up. 'You're resigning?' 'Yeah', he said. 'I've got a better job'.
And then there's a little idiom at the end. I don't know if you caught it. 'But we had
everything planned.' 'Wow! That came out of left field'. Now that's a baseball idiom.
Fluency, you know much more about baseball than I do. What does 'out of left field' mean?
Well there are a few expressions with 'left field' in English because our image of left
field in the baseball field, it's like, really far away, over there. It's the furthest point
from where most of the action usually is. So it's sort of that idea of out of nowhere.
OK, so it's sort of a surprise. Mmm. You don't expect it because that's not where the action
usually is, so it's unexpected. So there's a little idiom for you. Out of left field
means something that's surprising - perhaps a bit of a shock. Mmm. It's usually a bad
surprise, isn't it? So a shock. I'm curious. Is that idiom iused in British English? Even
though you don't have baseball. I know some baseball idioms are and some aren't. No. No.
We have some cricket idioms that are similar to baseball idioms. So another similar one
would be, we can talk about a curve... a curved ball in British English. And that would be
something that's surprising. When somebody throws a ball and it moves in a way you don't
expect. And in American English I think you say 'curve ball'. Yeah, but I thought some
baseball idioms were also ... just had gone into British even though there's no baseball,
but maybe I'm wrong. You're right. There are a few. We do have a few. In fact we've made
a whole series of baseball idiom videos. I was just thinking about that. Yeah, great
videos so check them out. 'Simple English Videos - Baseball Idioms'. That's right. So
Shanthi. Have you ever turned down a job offer? When I was in finance, in the years before,
erm... no, not that many. No, actually I don't think I turned down job offers. But ever since
becoming a Business English teacher, yes. Where people have offered me certain projects
or jobs, then yes, I have turned them down. I've become more, more brave as I've got older
- than when I was younger. I think sometimes people can forget this at a job interview.
That it's not just an opportunity for them to get to know you. But it's also an opportunity
for you to get to know them, so that you can decide whether you really want the job. Yep, absolutely, and
I think that's really important and very much something that very few people do. Especially
at the end, you know, when an interviewer asks, you know, do you have any questions
for us, show that you are interested. You have actually done some research on the particular
company. Oh good point. Mmm. The world of business can change very quickly so what you
want to see is what is the time line for this particular new enterprise or this new project.
Do they have a five year plan? You know, you want to dig in a bit more to find out what
is their long terms strategy for that business, for your position. So that's a great tip,
isn't it? To do some research beforehand so that you can ask deeper questions about what
this job involves and where this company is going.
Can I add something here? Yeah.
Another thing, I... I used to interview, I don't know, sometimes ten or fifteen people
a month when I was director of a program at a school in New York... a couple of different
programs, but anyway... Err, and one of the reasons that I always liked when candidates
were talking about how the job would help them, why they wanted the job, not just why
they were great for us, is because I found that when... when people are more invested
in how it's going to, you know, make them better professionally and their life better,
they're more likely to stay and commit and work hard. Good point. Yeah.
Yeah. It also shows enthusiasm. Now I have another question about... A different
question they sometimes ask which is 'Why do you want to leave your current job?' That
can sometimes be hard to answer. Yes, it can be. And I think the key here is
to stay positive, and show that you're looking at... to progress your career. Even if your
reality, say for example, you know, has been difficult or there have been changes in the
structure in a company and you didn't really like it, or morale was low, turn it round
and say that, you know, I've achieved what I wanted to achieve in this particular role
and there's no more... there's no way of progressing in my career, so I think it's now time for
a change and to look at something different. And so that's what I want to do. So stay positive.
Mmm. And focus on the future. Mmmm. If you can. Yes. Is that the tip? Yeah. That makes
sense. Yeah, it's a great way to connect... to connect to what I was saying before, I
guess about why you want to work for them and what they can do for you at this point
in your career. Yes, absolutely because the world of work
has changed hugely in the last ten to fifteen years, so of course we also have people who
have been made redundant. And now you can see it as a bad situation and a... and a pesimistic
situation, but I know a number of people, myself included, who... for them redundancy
was the best thing that ever happened to them. We should talk about the phrase 'make someone
redundant', which means, lay them off. OK. But it's more... it's more common in British
than American English I think, isn't it Fluency? Absolutely. We have 'to lay someone off' meaning
we can't use you or we don't need you any more. And then we have 'to fire someone' which
is when something... when the person has done something wrong or, you know, bad. That's
right. Now we say 'fire' in British English as well. Mmm. But in British English we can
also say 'to sack someone'. Right. And it means the same thing. Yeah. And that's when
they've made a mistake or they've done something wrong, as you said. And you also say 'terminate'
don't you Fluency? Yeah, that's more the official terminology. So if we're talking about 'I
got fired from my job', we wouldn't normally say 'I got terminated'. Certainly the verb
'to fire' is not used so much in official language in a company. 'To terminate' sounds
really funny in British English. We think of Arnold Schwarzenegger and the terminator.
I know, it sounds so brutal too, doesn't it? 'I terminate you!' Really? What did I do that
was so terrible? OK guys. I think we're ready for a game. Always
ready for a game. Let's go! Let's play!
Hey, we've got a great game today, haven't
we? Oh yeah, this one is going to be a lot of fun. OK, so here's how it works. We're going
to interview one another for a job, but the person who is being interviewed won't know
what the job is. So they'll have to answer the questions and try and get the job, but
they won't actually know what it is they're being interviewed for. That's right and I've
got... Shanthi and I have a job we're going to interview you for, and you have something
you're interviewing Shanthi for. Is that right? That's right and we've also got a job that
we're going to interview you for, Fluency. Ooo! Yes. Really? I didn't know that. Oh good.
Yeah. Oh yeah. So shall we show everyone what the job is. Fluency, you can't look. All right.
OK. Close your eyes Fluency. We're starting with me and I can't look. OK. Yep. Close your
eyes. I'm covering my eyes. OK. So everybody's seen it now. You can look back. OK. All right?
So Fluency, we have some questions for you. Oh, thank you so much for the opportunity
to interview with you. OK, well, first question for you is: what would you say your greatest
strength is? What sort of personal qualities have you got that will be good for this job?
Well, let's see. I love working with different types of people and learning new things from
them. I work really well as part of a team. So I think that's an important quality I have.
Good good. How important are qualities like honesty to you? Oooo. I think honesty, and
reliablity, and loyalty - these are very important. You haven't mentioned anything about leadership
or communication skills. Ah, well, erm... Well, part of why I think I'm really good
working with different types of people is that I think I'm good at communicating with
people. Listening - I'm a great listener, but also I think I'm patient and can explain
things to people I work with. And then leadership. I love leading projects but I'm also happy
to be led - to be part of a group that has a leader, so I think I have both qualities.
Leadership qualities but also working well on a team with a leader. Uhuh. Erm, that sounds
quite good doesn't it, Shanthi? Yeah, I think so. Yeah. Not bad. I wanted to ask you another
question, Fluency. Erm, what sort of experience have you had in negotiating? Are you good
at negotiating? Yeah, I think so. I mean to be honest, not too much experience, but again
I thnk it's back to communication. I think with that skill I can build on my experience
as a negotiator. Uhuh. So tell me about your free time interests. What do you like doing
that perhaps connects with this job? Oh well. Let's see. Uh, I love reading and doing research.
I love cooking, of course. I think that would be... it's a free time activity but you know,
you can see the connection.... Cooking? ...I'm sure with the job there. And music is a big
interest of mine. And I think there's a nice, you know, er... synergy with... with making
music and with the work I'd be doing for your company. So... Uhuh. And what about beauty
pageants? Well, I was Miss North Carolina, but that was years ago. No. Beauty pageants,
let's see. Erm. Well, not so much. No, I have to say, no. And do you watch a lot of television?
Oh, well these days more YouTube actually. That doesn't really count, does it? Oh, I
don't know, what do you think, Shanthi? Well, it could be. It's another form of social media.
But, speaking of social media, what other forms of social media do you like? For example,
do you like to tweet? Do you use Twitter? Twitter's OK but I'm more of a Facebook-Instagram
guy. But if you need some one to.. to do Twitter, I do use it and I think I could get better
and better at Twitter, I'm sure. Do you have many followers? Mmmm. Sure, oh yeah, absolutely.
I think my neighbor, on my street. Let's see, I think my son's teacher. And then a few other
people. Family mostly. What do you think Shanthi? Shall we give him the job? Oooo. I think he's
going to have to increase his er... his use of Twitter. Erm, because for this job he's
definitely going to need to tweet a lot more. And he's going to need to increase his number
of followers. Erm, I don't know. Well, I think we could give him a go. Let him have a go
at this. I don't think he could do worse than the present one. He can't, no, nobody can
do worse than him. Fluency, what job do you think we're interviewing you for. Err, I can
guess this one for sure because these are the questions that you would only ask if you're
trying to find the best President of the United States. Woohoo! That's exactly right.
Bravo! You asked all the right questions. OK, I think Shanthi's might be a little bit
harder. Shall we interview Shanthi now? Yes, let's go. So Shanthi, I wanted to start by
asking you about your experience, and the training that you've had for this job. OK,
so I graduated from university and I got a degree in politics and international studies.
And I've had twenty years in the finance world. So my qualifications and experience has been
in investment management and in finance. And then I changed career and then I came into
Business English teaching. So banking and finance is her background Fluency. Yeah. I
mean I've heard of career changes but erm... This is quite unusual. Erm, what about manual
dexterity? Yeah, could I ask her a question about that? Yeah. Yeah, so, so, how... are
you good... good with your hands? Erm, I mean all this finance stuff, it's very interesting,
but yeah, like Vicki was saying, manual dexterity. It's really important how well you can, you
know, how precise and how comfortable you are using your hands. Oh, OK. Well. I'm good at
knitting and crocheting. Wow! And yeah, you know, I use my hands well. That's a pretty
big leap from knitting to what we'd have in mind for you in this position. Erm. Yeah.
Right Vicki? Yeah, I'm surprised by that, but maybe you're really good with modern technology.
Ah, that's important, yeah. Well, yeah, I've had to learn a lot in the last few years,
especially, you know, the different apps and what to do. Apps? Yeah. yeah. Well it sounds
like you're someone who likes to jump in and experiment then? Yeah, I don't mind trying
things out, so I'll jump in a try something out. OK, so you're not particularly cautious.
You prefer to take risks. Mmm. But it all depends. I mean, physical risk, if it's going
to hurt me, then no, I'm not very good at that. But if it's a business risk, then I
don't mind too much. Well actually we're more worried about whether it's going to hurt the
other person. That's right. Yeah. Am I ... Am I apply for a job to be a wrestler or something?
Vicki do you want to tell her. I think we should tell her, don't you? You're applying
for a job to be a brain surgeon. Obviously. A brain surgeon? We were surprised by your
training. Yeah, you might want to shelve some of that finance interest for a little bit.
A brain surgeon? Oh I get it. Manual dexterity. Yeah, we were impressed by your knitting skills,
but we'd have prefered to hear sewing, I think. Yeah, the knitting could lead to sewing. I'm
not sure if sewing could lead to surgery though. So hit the street. It's a definite no. Yeah,
no that was totally way way off. OK, do you want to interview me now and see if I can
get a job? Yeah, I'd love to. I've got time because I have almost four years until I need
to start my new job as President. So er...
Yeah, Shanthi and I have some questions for you, Vicki. Erm, Shanthi, do you want to begin?
Yeah. OK. So Vicki, we'd like to know if you prefer to work on your own or do you like
to work in a team? I love to work in a team. I really enjoy working with lots and lots
of people. Hmm. Oh. OK, so should you have moments when you have to work on your own,
would that be a problem? Oh no. I could perhaps work on my own for a little while. Because
independent work is very important in this position. Oh, Oh I'm a very sort of independent
person actually. OK. Good. Erm... how about travel? I mean would you be OK being away
from home for, I don't know, maybe a week at a time - maybe even a little bit longer?
Oh, I love travelling. In fact I love going to different countries. I hope it involves
foreign travel. Not so much actually. Ah. OK. Mmm. Maybe it could become an international
job in the future. That's what I'm hoping. Or Maybe not. Shanthi, your turn to ask a
question. Err, OK I would like to know, in terms of your time keeping, are you usually
on time? Oh erm, I'm very very punctual. In fact normally I arrive ten minutes early for
every event. Interesting. Wow! OK, and this is also with traffic? Erm, well, I don't drive
any more these days. Uhuh. But I take Ubers a lot. Shanthi, would Ubers work for this
position? I don't know. It's going to be a bit difficult, isn't it Fluency? Just a little
bit. Err, you know, my next question Vicki - it's, it's very interesting to us that you
don't drive. You know I was going to ask, if you have a clean driving record. Because
that's actually... Well I do have a licence. And I have a clean driving licence. It's just
because I live in the centre of the city, I haven't driven for a few years. Is it because
you don't like driving? Erm, well it's very busy. The traffic's very bad in the city centre
and I can walk everywhere. Aha! So when you're out of the city, how do
you like to travel? How do you travel normally, once you get out? I love boats. I love planes.
Flying is great. Hmm. Wow! Uhuh, Uhuh. Shanthi, I think there may be some challenges for Vicki
in this position. One more question I have Vicki is how... how is your endurance? I mean
can you work for a long period of time without a break? When I get interested in a task,
I like to work all night on it. Oh wow! That's good. So what do you think? Have I got the
job? That's a tough one because - Shanthi, here's what I think... I think that... What
was the job? One second. What we just found out about you Vicki is really important. The
endurance but no driving licence. Oh you say driving licence, by the way and in the States
we say driver's license. Just something for everyone to know out there. What do you think,
Shanthi? Good point. You know Vicki, you wouldn't be right for this job. Oh no! I'm so sorry.
So what job have I missed out on? Tell me! Well, driving an eighteen wheeler. A truck
driver, of course. You were going to be a truck driver. Oh a truck driver! Do you know,
I might actually like that job, because you get to see America, don't you? That's true,
but unfortunately you chose to tell us about your love for walking and boats and planes
and pretty much every mode of transportation you could think of besides a truck - which
is not so good when you're interviewing for the job of truck driver. Ah. And you wanted
to go abroad. You wanted to do international travel. Ah, I'm going to have to give myself
a mark here. Finally! A 'Boing' for Vicki. It's about time. OK, I think we should stop playing
this stupid game and have a rap. Let's do it! Oooo! Let's do it! Cool!
Once again it's Fluency MC, Flu, Flu, Fluency MC. Once again it's Fluency MC. Grammar through
lyrics, kick it! Ha! Yeah! Well, I want to tell you about the rap for today. But first
I want to quickly explain, in case we have any new viewers for the English Show today,
why we do raps on the English Show. So, I like to write short raps using rhyme and rhythm
to give you practice with the vocabulary and the grammar structiures that we've included
in different segments of the show. So I made a rap for today and Vicki made a video. We're
going to show you the video so you can watch, read and listen. We'll have the lyrics there.
Then we're going to practice together and Shanthi, will you practice with us. Yes, of
course. Can't wait. Excellent. And then what we'll do is show the video again. And of course
you can watch this English Show program and all the English Show programs multiple times
to keep practising, because these raps really can help your pronunciation, your listening
skills, and most importantly, help you remember the great vocabulary and structures that we
talked about today on the English Show. So, Jay! Could you roll the video?
. All right. Cool, very good. Great. I love
the video Vicki, thanks for that. It was fun to make. So there's vocabulary and grammar
structures that I hope you remember from earlier in the show. So things like 'resigned' and
we talked about 'achieving' versus accomplishing. And I also put in some other vocabulary that
I think is very common in job interviews so I focused a lot on the questions the interviewer
asks, as you can see, not so much on the answers to the questions. And it might seem a little
fast so we're going to do it slower but with the same rhythm, because the rhythm here is
the natural rhythm of conversation. So Shanthi, if you will repeat after me for this practice?
And everybody out there in the audience, please do the same. Shanthi, ready to go? Yes, I
am. Ready everybody? Let's go like this.
Good morning! Thank you for coming in for this interview today.
Good morning! Thank you for coming in for this interview today.
Good. I've just had a look at your resume. I've just had a look at your resume.
Good. In the United States we usually say resume. Er, resume. Other places sometimes,
cv. I say cv. Yes, cv for sure. Curriculum vitae. Yeah.
What are your greatest strengths? What are your greatest strengths?
How about your long-term objectives? How about your long-term objectives?
Why do you want to work for our company? Why do you want to work for our company?
In what ways would you be effective? In what ways would you be effective?
What gives you the most satisfaction? What gives you the most satisfaction?
What are you passionate about? What are you passionate about?
Do you work well on a team? Do you work well on a team?
Absolutely, without a doubt! Absolutely, without a doubt!
Good, notice we say 'on a team' usually in American English, but British? 'In a team.'
Yeah, yeah.All right let's continue. I achieved
a lot at my last job. I achieved a lot at my last job.
But I recently resigned. But I recently resigned.
I have big plans for the future, you know. I have big plans for the future, you know.
Well, thank you for your time. Well, thank you for your time.
We appreciate your coming in. We appreciate your coming in.
And we'll be in touch soon. And we'll be in touch soon.
Thank you for this opportunity. I look forward to hearing from you.
I look forward to hearing from you. Very good. One more thing I wanted to mention,
because some of you might be wondering, 'we appreciate your coming in'. In more formal
English in American English (I'll ask you two in a moment about British) we would use
the possessive pronoun here - your coming in. But in everyday conversation in American
English, we don't use this so much. 'We appreciate you coming in' but in a more formal context
it would be 'your'. How about in British? Oh same thing in British. Although I have to
say when I saw it I thought mmm. Because I'm so used to hearing it in the informal way.
Great, well thanks Shanthi, and thanks to all of you for practicing. As you see we slowed
it down, but I hope when you're watching the video, you'll notice that the rhythm is the
same, so for example, we said, erm, 'how about your long term objectives?'. In the video
it's more 'how-about-your...' Right? But the idea is to get practice with it more slowly,
really focusing on it as we did. And then also to get listening practice and then when
you're ready, also speaking practice by rapping along with the video. So can we check out
the video again, Jay?
That was great. Well, thank you. Great video
for the rap and I hope everybody enjoyed it. I hope that everybody who is applying for
a job and has an interview coming up, gets that job. Good luck. Yes! Good luck! Hopefully
you'll know before the interview what the job is for. That definitely helps you prepare.
And I want to say thank you to Shanthi for all the great tips she's given us about interviews
today. Thank you Shanthi. Thank you very much it was a pleasure. Listen. If people want
to stay in touch with you, or get in touch with you, or follow you, what can they do?
Well, what they could do is they can have a look at my website: English with a Twist
dot com, sign up to my free e-guide where they... and they sign up to my blog, and that
way I deliver weekly lessons every Friday, which is specifically for Business English.
And they also get a free e-guide on the ten ways to communicate better and more effectively
in business with English. Now the other thing is you've actually written a book about interviews
- English job interviews, haven't you? Yes, I have. It's part of my book called Business
English Secrets. And one section of it is dedicated to job interviews, but it also covers
other areas like presentations, and also writing skills, and small talk - which are the key
skills that a lot of my clients have, you know, asked me to cover and where I've coached
them. And job interviews is a big section of that. Yes. Fantastic! Great. And erm...
if you want to follow us, and I hope you do, then how can they follow us on 'The English
Show' Fluency? Well, it's really easy because you can look in the description box below
for all the information. Definitely our YouTube channels: Fluency MC and Simple English Videos,
and also to be on our mailing lists to get information from us. You can do that by going
to our websites. So I think all we need to do now is say goodbey to everybody, but first,
good-bye to you Jay and thank you for your help today. Thanks so much Jay. It's been
my great pleasure. I've had a lot of fun. I hope you have. It was great to see you Shanthi.
And we'll see you in the next show! Goodbye then everybody. Bye. Have a great week. See you soon. Bye-bye.

Hi There! Maurice here from AniMouseMusic in a new way,
a new fashion, new style.
Tell me guys, what do you
think about this this is one of
those small fisheye lenses that I'm just
trying out. I have to crop out a lot of...
...from the side here
this
this is probably not in the frame
This part. I'm trying this out so that you can
see the whole guitar instead of just a
small portion of it so maybe I have some
vignetting, I will see that in the
edited version, doesn't really matter. So
let me know what you think about the
fisheye stuff. I think I'm going to do
some more videos with this fun little
gadget that works well and the quality
is at least have decent.
But for now I hope you had fun watching
and I will see you in my next video. So bye bye bye

Holding Out for a Healer - Duration: 5:58.
Where have all the good monks gone?
...and where are all the priests?
Where's the group-wise paladin to dispel my disease?
Isn't there a holy knight upon a shiny stead?
Late at night I toss and I turn and I dream of what I need!
I need a healer!
I'm holding out for a healer to the end of the run.
They've gotta be skilled...
...and they've gotta be calm
...and they've gotta be second to none.
I need a healer!
I'm holding out for a healer 'til the rise of the sun.
They gotta be geared...
...and they've gotta be buffed...
...and they've gotta stay joined 'til we're done.
Stay joined 'til we're done...
Somewhere past the fourth wipe...
...without a druid tree.
Someone just pulled all the mobs...
...and tricksed them onto me!
Breaking all the frost traps...
...and disrupting all the sheep!
It's gonna take a mistweaver who knows how to leg-sweep!
I need a healer!
I'm holding out for a healer 'til the end of the run.
They've gotta be skilled...
...and they've gotta be calm...
...and they've gotta be second to none.
I need a healer!
I'm holding out for a healer 'til the rise of the sun.
They've gotta be geared...
...and they've gotta be buffed...
...and they've gotta stay joined 'til we're done!
I need a healer!
I'm holding out for a healer 'til the end of the run!
Up where the waters tear the land and the dirt...
...out where the Malestrom splits the sea...
...I could swear there's a shaman...
...somewhere just for me!
Through the wind, and the chill, and the rain...
...and the storm, and the flood!
I can feel his approach like the fire in my blood!
I need a healer!
I'm holding out for a healer 'til the end of the run.
They've gotta be skilled...
...and they've gotta be calm...
...and they've gotta be second to none!
I need a healer!
I'm holding out for a healer 'til the rise of the sun.
They've gotta be geared...
...and they've gotta be buffed...
...and they've gotta stay joined 'til we're done.

Hope for the Homeless - Duration: 2:21.
Terrifying
Sad
Hopelessness
Despair
A place the shower, place to eat,
place to rest, place to gather with someone you care for.
If you're homeless...
you wouldn't have those opportunities.
When we started working on it and found
the Lieutenant Governor was working on it as well.
Then it kind of snowballed in effect over the course of the next few months.
You know a child is not going to have an easy pathway
and the keys to a great education if he or she can't come home every night
and lay their head down in a secure place.
I think we've all walked past
a homeless individual.
Seen someone on the streets
and often wonder what can we do for them?
It doesn't matter if you're democrat or republican.
It matters that you care.
Beyond that, it's really a fiscal impact on
everybody's taxes throughout the state
as more and more services
are needed by folks like this and they're less independent
and more dependent on government
This bill and the other bills that are being introduced
are meant to help the homeless individuals
who probably find themselves lost
and probably don't know who to reach out to
and what resources are out there to help them out.
The interagency council bill really does
brings all state agencies together that
receive state or federal dollars to have
a concerted effort to have a bigger impact on combating homelessness
Being that they're homeless
it gives them first chance at a voucher
to get them placed in a home so they can
get a fresh start
my bill will provide housing for the homeless person, for the homeless family immediately.
We want to have an impact on people that are struggling.
We want to help them and their families improve their situations
and move from dependence on government to true independence.
I have great hope for all of those people
that this set of bills, this legislation, is going to be the difference-maker
It's going to be their hope for the future

To Kill a Mockingbird, Chapter 17 - Duration: 21:32.
Chapter 17.
"Jem," I said, "are those the Ewells sittin' down yonder?"
"Hush," said Jem, "Mr. Heck Tate's testifyin'."
Mr. Tate had dressed for the occasion.
He wore an ordinary business suit, which made him look somehow like every other man:
gone were his high boots, lumber jacket, and bullet-studded belt.
From that moment he ceased to terrify me.
He was sitting forward in the witness chair, his
hands clasped between his knees, listening attentively to the circuit solicitor.
The solicitor, a Mr. Gilmer, was not well known to us.
He was from Abbottsville; we saw him only when court convened, and that
rarely, for court was of no special interest to Jem and me.
A balding, smooth-faced man, he could have been
anywhere between forty and sixty.
Although his back was to us, we knew he had a slight cast in one of his eyes which he
used to his advantage: he seemed to be looking at a person when he was actually doing
nothing of the kind, thus he was hell on juries and witnesses.
The jury, thinking themselves under close scrutiny,
paid attention; so did the witnesses, thinking likewise.
"…in your own words, Mr. Tate," Mr. Gilmer was saying.
"Well," said Mr. Tate, touching his glasses and speaking to his knees, "I was
called—" "Could you say it to the jury, Mr. Tate?
Thank you.
Who called you?"
Mr. Tate said, "I was fetched by Bob—by Mr. Bob Ewell yonder, one night—"
"What night, sir?"
Mr. Tate said, "It was the night of November twenty-first.
I was just leaving my office to go home when B—Mr. Ewell came
in, very excited he was, and said get out to his house quick, some nigger'd raped
his girl."
"Did you go?"
"Certainly.
Got in the car and went out as fast as I could."
"And what did you find?"
"Found her lying on the floor in the middle of the front room, one on the right as
you go in.
She was pretty well beat up, but I heaved her to her feet and she
washed her face in a bucket in the corner and said she was all right.
I asked her who hurt her and she said it was Tom Robinson—"
Judge Taylor, who had been concentrating on his fingernails, looked up as if he
were expecting an objection, but Atticus was quiet.
"—asked her if he beat her like that, she said yes he had.
Asked her if he took advantage of her and she said yes he did.
So I went down to Robinson's house and brought him back.
She identified him as the one, so I took him in.
That's all there was to it."
"Thank you," said Mr. Gilmer.
Judge Taylor said, "Any questions, Atticus?"
"Yes," said my father.
He was sitting behind his table; his chair was skewed to
one side, his legs were crossed and one arm was resting on the back of his chair.
"Did you call a doctor, Sheriff?
Did anybody call a doctor?" asked Atticus.
"No sir," said Mr. Tate.
"Didn't call a doctor?"
"No sir," repeated Mr. Tate.
"Why not?"
There was an edge to Atticus's voice.
"Well I can tell you why I didn't.
It wasn't necessary, Mr. Finch.
She was mighty banged up.
Something sho' happened, it was obvious."
"But you didn't call a doctor?
While you were there did anyone send for one, fetch one, carry her to one?"
"No sir—" Judge Taylor broke in.
"He's answered the question three times, Atticus.
He didn't call a doctor."
Atticus said, "I just wanted to make sure, Judge," and the judge smiled.
Jem's hand, which was resting on the balcony rail, tightened around it.
He drew in his breath suddenly.
Glancing below, I saw no corresponding reaction, and
wondered if Jem was trying to be dramatic.
Dill was watching peacefully, and so was Reverend Sykes beside him.
"What is it?"
I whispered, and got a terse, "Sh-h!"
"Sheriff," Atticus was saying, "you say she was mighty banged up.
In what way?"
"Well—" "Just describe her injuries, Heck."
"Well, she was beaten around the head.
There was already bruises comin' on her arms, and it happened about thirty minutes
before—" "How do you know?"
Mr. Tate grinned.
"Sorry, that's what they said.
Anyway, she was pretty bruised up when I got there, and she had a black eye
comin'."
"Which eye?"
Mr. Tate blinked and ran his hands through his hair.
"Let's see," he said softly, then he looked at Atticus as if he considered
the question childish.
"Can't you remember?"
Atticus asked.
Mr. Tate pointed to an invisible person five inches in front of him and said, "Her
left."
"Wait a minute, Sheriff," said Atticus.
"Was it her left facing you or her left looking the same way you were?"
Mr. Tate said, "Oh yes, that'd make it her right.
It was her right eye, Mr. Finch.
I remember now, she was bunged up on that side
of her face…"
Mr. Tate blinked again, as if something had suddenly been made plain to him.
Then he turned his head and looked around at Tom Robinson.
As if by instinct, Tom Robinson raised his head.
Something had been made plain to Atticus also, and it brought him to his feet.
"Sheriff, please repeat what you said."
"It was her right eye, I said."
"No…"
Atticus walked to the court reporter's desk and bent down to the furiously
scribbling hand.
It stopped, flipped back the shorthand pad, and the court reporter
said, "'Mr. Finch.
I remember now she was bunged up on that side of the face.'"
Atticus looked up at Mr. Tate.
"Which side again, Heck?"
"The right side, Mr. Finch, but she had more bruises—you wanta hear about 'em?"
Atticus seemed to be bordering on another question, but he thought better of it
and said, "Yes, what were her other injuries?"
As Mr. Tate answered, Atticus turned and looked at Tom Robinson as if to
say this was something they hadn't bargained for.
"…her arms were bruised, and she showed me her neck.
There were definite finger marks on her gullet—"
"All around her throat?
At the back of her neck?"
"I'd say they were all around, Mr. Finch."
"You would?"
"Yes sir, she had a small throat, anybody could'a reached around it with—"
"Just answer the question yes or no, please, Sheriff," said Atticus dryly, and Mr.
Tate fell silent.
Atticus sat down and nodded to the circuit solicitor, who shook his head at the
judge, who nodded to Mr. Tate, who rose stiffly and stepped down from the
witness stand.
Below us, heads turned, feet scraped the floor, babies were shifted to shoulders,
and a few children scampered out of the courtroom.
The Negroes behind us whispered softly among themselves; Dill was
asking Reverend Sykes what it was all about, but Reverend Sykes said he didn't
know.
So far, things were utterly dull: nobody had thundered, there were no
arguments between opposing counsel, there was no drama; a grave disappointment
to all present, it seemed.
Atticus was proceeding amiably, as if he were involved
in a title dispute.
With his infinite capacity for calming turbulent seas, he could
make a rape case as dry as a sermon.
Gone was the terror in my mind of stale whiskey and barnyard smells, of sleepyeyed
sullen men, of a husky voice calling in the night, "Mr. Finch?
They gone?"
Our nightmare had gone with daylight, everything would come out all right.
All the spectators were as relaxed as Judge Taylor, except Jem.
His mouth was twisted into a purposeful half-grin, and his
eyes happy about, and he said something about corroborating evidence, which
made me sure he was showing off.
"…Robert E. Lee Ewell!"
In answer to the clerk's booming voice, a little bantam cock of a man rose and
strutted to the stand, the back of his neck reddening at the sound of his name.
When he turned around to take the oath, we saw that his face was as red as his
neck.
We also saw no resemblance to his namesake.
A shock of wispy newwashed hair stood up from his forehead; his nose
was thin, pointed, and shiny; he had no chin to speak of—it seemed to be
part of his crepey neck.
"—so help me God," he crowed.
Every town the size of Maycomb had families like the Ewells.
No economic fluctuations changed their status—people
like the Ewells lived as guests of the county in prosperity as well as in the depths
of a depression.
No truant officers could keep their numerous offspring in school;
no public health officer could free them from congenital defects, various worms,
and the diseases indigenous to filthy surroundings.
Maycomb's Ewells lived behind the town garbage dump in what was once a
Negro cabin.
The cabin's plank walls were supplemented with sheets of
corrugated iron, its roof shingled with tin cans hammered flat, so only its general
shape suggested its original design: square, with four tiny rooms opening onto a
shotgun hall, the cabin rested uneasily upon four irregular lumps of limestone.
Its windows were merely open spaces in the walls,
which in the summertime were covered with greasy strips of cheesecloth
to keep out the varmints that feasted on Maycomb's refuse.
The varmints had a lean time of it, for the Ewells gave the dump a thorough
gleaning every day, and the fruits of their industry (those that were not eaten)
made the plot of ground around the cabin look like the playhouse of an insane
child: what passed for a fence was bits of tree-limbs, broomsticks and tool shafts,
all tipped with rusty hammer-heads, snaggle-toothed rake heads, shovels, axes
and grubbing hoes, held on with pieces of barbed wire.
Enclosed by this barricade was a dirty yard containing the remains of
a Model-T Ford (on blocks), a discarded dentist's chair, an ancient icebox,
plus lesser items: old shoes, worn-out table radios, picture frames, and fruit jars,
under which scrawny orange chickens pecked hopefully.
One corner of the yard, though, bewildered Maycomb.
Against the fence, in a line, were six chipped-enamel slop jars holding
brilliant red geraniums, cared for as tenderly as if they belonged to Miss Maudie
Atkinson, had Miss Maudie deigned to permit a geranium on her premises.
People said they were Mayella Ewell's.
Nobody was quite sure how many children were on the place.
Some people said six, others said nine; there were always several
dirty-faced ones at the windows when anyone passed by.
Nobody had occasion to pass by except at Christmas, when the churches delivered baskets, and when
the mayor of Maycomb asked us to please help the garbage collector by dumping
our own trees and trash.
Atticus took us with him last Christmas when he complied with the mayor's
request.
A dirt road ran from the highway past the dump, down to a small Negro
settlement some five hundred yards beyond the Ewells'.
It was necessary either to back out to the highway or go the full length
of the road and turn around; most people turned around in the Negroes' front
yards.
In the frosty December dusk, their cabins looked neat and snug with pale
blue smoke rising from the chimneys and doorways glowing amber from the fires
inside.
There were delicious smells about: chicken, bacon frying crisp as the
twilight air.
Jem and I detected squirrel cooking, but it took an old countryman like
Atticus to identify possum and rabbit, aromas that vanished when we rode back past
the Ewell residence.
All the little man on the witness stand had that made him any better than his
nearest neighbors was, that if scrubbed with lye soap in very hot water, his skin
was white.
"Mr. Robert Ewell?" asked Mr. Gilmer.
"That's m'name, cap'n," said the witness.
Mr. Gilmer's back stiffened a little, and I felt sorry for him.
Perhaps I'd better explain something now.
I've heard that lawyers' children, on seeing their parents
in court in the heat of argument, get the wrong idea: they think opposing counsel
to be the personal enemies of their parents, they suffer agonies, and are surprised
to see them often go out arm-in-arm with their tormenters during the first recess.
This was not true of Jem and me.
We acquired no traumas from watching our father win or lose.
I'm sorry that I can't provide any drama in this respect; if I did,
it would not be true.
We could tell, however, when debate became more
acrimonious than professional, but this was from watching lawyers other than our
father.
I never heard Atticus raise his voice in my life, except to a deaf witness.
Mr. Gilmer was doing his job, as Atticus was doing his.
Besides, Mr. Ewell was Mr. Gilmer's witness, and he had no business
being rude to him of all people.
"Are you the father of Mayella Ewell?" was the next question.
"Well, if I ain't I can't do nothing about it now, her ma's dead," was the
answer.
Judge Taylor stirred.
He turned slowly in his swivel chair and looked benignly at
the witness.
"Are you the father of Mayella Ewell?" he asked, in a way that made
the laughter below us stop suddenly.
"Yes sir," Mr. Ewell said meekly.
Judge Taylor went on in tones of good will: "This the first time you've ever been
in court?
I don't recall ever seeing you here."
At the witness's affirmative nod he continued, "Well, let's get something
straight.
There will be no more audibly obscene speculations on any subject from anybody
in this courtroom as long as I'm sitting here.
Do you understand?"
Mr. Ewell nodded, but I don't think he did.
Judge Taylor sighed and said, "All right, Mr. Gilmer?"
"Thank you, sir.
Mr. Ewell, would you tell us in your own words what happened
on the evening of November twenty-first, please?"
Jem grinned and pushed his hair back.
Just-in-your-own words was Mr. Gilmer's trademark.
We often wondered who else's words Mr. Gilmer was afraid his
witness might employ.
"Well, the night of November twenty-one I was comin' in from the woods with a
load o'kindlin' and just as I got to the fence I heard Mayella screamin' like a
stuck hog inside the house—" Here Judge Taylor glanced sharply at the witness
and must have decided his speculations devoid of evil intent, for he
subsided sleepily.
"What time was it, Mr. Ewell?"
"Just 'fore sundown.
Well, I was sayin' Mayella was screamin' fit to beat Jesus
—" another glance from the bench silenced Mr. Ewell.
"Yes?
She was screaming?" said Mr. Gilmer.
Mr. Ewell looked confusedly at the judge.
"Well, Mayella was raisin' this holy racket so I dropped m'load and run as fast
as I could but I run into th' fence, but when I got distangled I run up to th' window
and I seen—" Mr. Ewell's face grew scarlet.
He stood up and pointed his finger at Tom Robinson.
"—I seen that black nigger yonder ruttin' on my Mayella!"
So serene was Judge Taylor's court, that he had few occasions to use his gavel,
but he hammered fully five minutes.
Atticus was on his feet at the bench saying something to him, Mr. Heck Tate as first officer
of the county stood in the middle aisle quelling the packed courtroom.
Behind us, there was an angry muffled groan from the colored people.
Reverend Sykes leaned across Dill and me, pulling at Jem's elbow.
"Mr. Jem," he said, "you better take Miss Jean Louise
home.
Mr. Jem, you hear me?"
Jem turned his head.
"Scout, go home.
Dill, you'n'Scout go home."
"You gotta make me first," I said, remembering Atticus's blessed dictum.
Jem scowled furiously at me, then said to Reverend Sykes, "I think it's okay,
Reverend, she doesn't understand it."
I was mortally offended.
"I most certainly do, I c'n understand anything you can."
"Aw hush.
She doesn't understand it, Reverend, she ain't nine yet."
Reverend Sykes's black eyes were anxious.
"Mr. Finch know you all are here?
This ain't fit for Miss Jean Louise or you boys either."
Jem shook his head.
"He can't see us this far away.
It's all right, Reverend."
I knew Jem would win, because I knew nothing could make him leave now.
Dill and I were safe, for a while: Atticus could
see us from where he was, if he looked.
As Judge Taylor banged his gavel, Mr. Ewell was sitting smugly in the witness
chair, surveying his handiwork.
With one phrase he had turned happy picknickers into a sulky, tense, murmuring crowd, being
slowly hypnotized by gavel taps lessening in intensity until the only sound
in the courtroom was a dim pink-pinkpink: the judge might have been rapping the bench
with a pencil.
In possession of his court once more, Judge Taylor leaned back in his chair.
He looked suddenly weary; his age was showing,
and I thought about what Atticus had said—he and Mrs. Taylor didn't kiss
much—he must have been nearly seventy.
"There has been a request," Judge Taylor said, "that this courtroom be cleared of
spectators, or at least of women and children, a request that will be denied for the
time being.
People generally see what they look for, and hear what they listen for,
and they have the right to subject their children to it, but I can assure you of one
thing: you will receive what you see and hear in silence or you will leave this
courtroom, but you won't leave it until the whole boiling of you come before me
on contempt charges.
Mr. Ewell, you will keep your testimony within the confines
of Christian English usage, if that is possible.
Proceed, Mr. Gilmer."
Mr. Ewell reminded me of a deaf-mute.
I was sure he had never heard the words Judge Taylor directed at him—his mouth struggled
silently with them—but their import registered on his face.
Smugness faded from it, replaced by a dogged earnestness that fooled Judge Taylor not at
all: as long as Mr. Ewell was on the stand, the judge kept his eyes on him, as
if daring him to make a false move.
Mr. Gilmer and Atticus exchanged glances.
Atticus was sitting down again, his fist rested on his cheek and we could not
see his face.
Mr. Gilmer looked rather desperate.
A question from Judge Taylor made him relax: "Mr. Ewell, did you see
the defendant having sexual intercourse with your daughter?"
"Yes, I did."
The spectators were quiet, but the defendant said something.
Atticus whispered to him, and Tom Robinson was silent.
"You say you were at the window?" asked Mr. Gilmer.
"Yes sir."
"How far is it from the ground?"
"'bout three foot."
"Did you have a clear view of the room?"
"Yes sir."
"How did the room look?"
"Well, it was all slung about, like there was a fight."
"What did you do when you saw the defendant?"
"Well, I run around the house to get in, but he run out the front door just ahead of
me.
I sawed who he was, all right.
I was too distracted about Mayella to run after'im.
I run in the house and she was lyin' on the floor squallin'—"
"Then what did you do?"
"Why, I run for Tate quick as I could.
I knowed who it was, all right, lived down yonder in that nigger-nest, passed the house
every day.
Jedge, I've asked this county for fifteen years to clean out that
nest down yonder, they're dangerous to live around 'sides devaluin' my property—"
"Thank you, Mr. Ewell," said Mr. Gilmer hurriedly.
The witness made a hasty descent from the stand and ran smack into Atticus, who
had risen to question him.
Judge Taylor permitted the court to laugh.
"Just a minute, sir," said Atticus genially.
"Could I ask you a question or two?"
Mr. Ewell backed up into the witness chair, settled himself, and regarded Atticus
with haughty suspicion, an expression common to Maycomb County witnesses
when confronted by opposing counsel.
"Mr. Ewell," Atticus began, "folks were doing a lot of running that night.
Let's see, you say you ran to the house, you ran
to the window, you ran inside, you ran to Mayella, you ran for Mr. Tate.
Did you, during all this running, run for a
doctor?"
"Wadn't no need to.
I seen what happened."
"But there's one thing I don't understand," said Atticus.
"Weren't you concerned with Mayella's condition?"
"I most positively was," said Mr. Ewell.
"I seen who done it."
"No, I mean her physical condition.
Did you not think the nature of her injuries warranted immediate medical attention?"
"What?"
"Didn't you think she should have had a doctor, immediately?"
The witness said he never thought of it, he had never called a doctor to any of
his'n in his life, and if he had it would have cost him five dollars.
"That all?" he asked.
"Not quite," said Atticus casually.
"Mr. Ewell, you heard the sheriff's testimony, didn't you?"
"How's that?"
"You were in the courtroom when Mr. Heck Tate was on the stand, weren't you?
You heard everything he said, didn't you?"
Mr. Ewell considered the matter carefully, and seemed to decide that the question
was safe.
"Yes," he said.
"Do you agree with his description of Mayella's injuries?"
"How's that?"
Atticus looked around at Mr. Gilmer and smiled.
Mr. Ewell seemed determined not to give the defense the time of day.
"Mr. Tate testified that her right eye was blackened, that she was beaten around
the—" "Oh yeah," said the witness.
"I hold with everything Tate said."
"You do?" asked Atticus mildly.
"I just want to make sure."
He went to the court reporter, said something, and the reporter
entertained us for some minutes by reading Mr. Tate's testimony as if it were
stock-market quotations: "…which eye her left oh yes that'd make it her right
it was her right eye Mr. Finch I remember now she was bunged."
He flipped the page.
"Up on that side of the face Sheriff please repeat what you said it was her right
eye I said—" "Thank you, Bert," said Atticus.
"You heard it again, Mr. Ewell.
Do you have anything to add to it?
Do you agree with the sheriff?"
"I holds with Tate.
Her eye was blacked and she was mighty beat up."
The little man seemed to have forgotten his previous humiliation from the bench.
It was becoming evident that he thought Atticus an easy match.
He seemed to grow ruddy again; his chest swelled, and once
more he was a red little rooster.
I thought he'd burst his shirt at Atticus's
next question: "Mr. Ewell, can you read and write?"
Mr. Gilmer interrupted.
"Objection," he said.
"Can't see what witness's literacy has to do with the case, irrelevant'n'immaterial."
Judge Taylor was about to speak but Atticus said, "Judge, if you'll allow the
question plus another one you'll soon see."
"All right, let's see," said Judge Taylor, "but make sure we see, Atticus.
Overruled."
Mr. Gilmer seemed as curious as the rest of us as to what bearing the state of Mr.
Ewell's education had on the case.
"I'll repeat the question," said Atticus.
"Can you read and write?"
"I most positively can."
"Will you write your name and show us?"
"I most positively will.
How do you think I sign my relief checks?"
Mr. Ewell was endearing himself to his fellow citizens.
The whispers and chuckles below us probably had to do with
what a card he was.
I was becoming nervous.
Atticus seemed to know what he was doing—but it
seemed to me that he'd gone frog-sticking without a light.
Never, never, never, on cross-examination ask a witness a question
you don't already know the answer to, was a tenet I absorbed with my baby-food.
Do it, and you'll often get an answer you don't want, an answer that might wreck
your case.
Atticus was reaching into the inside pocket of his coat.
He drew out an envelope, then reached into his vest pocket and unclipped
his fountain pen.
He moved leisurely, and had turned so that he was in
full view of the jury.
He unscrewed the fountain-pen cap and placed it gently on his
table.
He shook the pen a little, then handed it with the envelope to the witness.
"Would you write your name for us?" he asked.
"Clearly now, so the jury can see you do it."
Mr. Ewell wrote on the back of the envelope and looked up complacently to see
Judge Taylor staring at him as if he were some fragrant gardenia in full bloom on
the witness stand, to see Mr. Gilmer half-sitting, half-standing at his table.
The jury was watching him, one man was leaning
forward with his hands over the railing.
"What's so interestin'?" he asked.
"You're left-handed, Mr. Ewell," said Judge Taylor.
Mr. Ewell turned angrily to the judge and said he didn't see what his
being left-handed had to do with it, that he was a Christ-fearing man and Atticus Finch
was taking advantage of him.
Tricking lawyers like Atticus Finch took advantage of him all the time with their
tricking ways.
He had told them what happened, he'd say it again and again—
which he did.
Nothing Atticus asked him after that shook his story, that he'd
looked through the window, then ran the nigger off, then ran for the sheriff.
Atticus finally dismissed him.
Mr. Gilmer asked him one more question.
"About your writing with your left hand, are you ambidextrous, Mr. Ewell?"
"I most positively am not, I can use one hand good as the other.
One hand good as the other," he added, glaring at the defense
table.
Jem seemed to be having a quiet fit.
He was pounding the balcony rail softly, and once he whispered, "We've got him."
I didn't think so: Atticus was trying to show, it seemed to me, that Mr. Ewell
could have beaten up Mayella.
That much I could follow.
If her right eye was blacked and she was beaten mostly on the right
side of the face, it would tend to show that a left-handed person did it.
Sherlock Holmes and Jem Finch would agree.
But Tom Robinson could easily be left-handed, too.
Like Mr. Heck Tate, I imagined a person facing me, went through
a swift mental pantomime, and concluded that he might have held her with
his right hand and pounded her with his left.
I looked down at him.
His back was to us, but I could see his broad shoulders and bull-thick neck.
He could easily have done it.
I thought Jem was counting his chickens.
-------------------------------------------
Kevin Smith on Jay + Bob Reboot, Moose Jaws, Hearing Voices + Who should make the NEXT GREAT MOVIE - Duration: 9:24.
Good?
Yeah.
Thank you.
Excellent question.
How are you doing?
I'm good, thank you.
My name is Aaron.
How are you Aaron?
I'm good.
I wanted to say thank you to you.
I saw Clerks 23 years ago when I was 18.
Oh yeah?
I was working in a comic book store in the back of a video store at a shop called Harlequin Hobbies
And uh, that movie really changed my life, and my world perspective of what I wanted
Changed my life too Laughter
I figured out what kind of artist I was going to be.
What kind of artist did you want to be based on that?
I'm a graphic designer and a cartoonist.
Fucking A - Why that movie?
Well, at the time when I was working at a
comic book store when I saw it, it was a conversation
Star Wars exchange, and funny in itself, but
what got to me or what hit me was, I know those people
They're the same kind of people I talk to, the same kind of people I have conversations,
debate with.
It was the first time ever seeing like my people, the geek culture, the kind of people
that are real that wasn't like Revenge of the Nerds kinda stuff.
Yeah, people running around like, HEH, HEH, HEH, HEH
Exactly
with pocket protectors and busted glasses
You showed me for the first time that me and
my friends and my world was interesting
Right on!
That fucking means the world man.
Thank you.
APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
That's why we made that move.
I felt like I don't know, like isn't our life interesting like I go to the movies all the
time and come home and go well that was funny man but how come they don't talk about the
shit we talk about Why don't they make jokes like the jokes we make, like wouldn't it be
great if one of these movies all they made jokes about ws pussy and star wars
LAUGHTER
and every movie I'd come out after, I'd say
that every comedy AND My friends would be like Just give it up dude, you always say
the same shit and I came out of one of them, Richard Linklater's Slacker and I felt the same fucking way
I was talking to Vinnie, my friend Vinnie, essentially just going like that was funny, man
but did you see that audience, like the guy I was sitting next to was like slapping his knee
He thought the movie was knee-slappingly funny.
Like, literally slapping his fucking knee.
I was like this guys is a fucking metaphor, right here, man.
And I was like it's so like amazing, like uh, the guy was mindful but ... (unintelligible)
I found it amusing but I wasn't laughing that hard I was like why don't they tell jokes,
the kind of shit that we talk about.
I had this brain storm, I was coming across the, lemme see, I came out of the Holland
Tunnel, right before I paid the toll on the Jersey Turnpike, and I was driving the car,
(someone) was in the passenger seat, and I didn't know it was a conversation
had a brain stem - changed my life, I had this thought it was crazy, like hearing a
voice, but not in a crazy way, like hearing the voice of logic.
except (unintelligible), and it said, Kevin,
nobody is ever going to make a movie about the shit you and your friends find funny.
Nobody knows who the fuck you and your friends are, and even if they did, why would they sing your song, man?
They gotta sing their own song.
If you wanna see a movie, where people sit around and talk about fucking pussy and Star Wars,
you're going to have to make that move.
And I did, and it changed my fucking life, man, so...
APPLAUSE
Same thing, I just wanted to like put a mirror
up to my world and shit.
I seen so many movies in my life , but I never saw my corner of the world, and I felt like
I don't know, who's going to show that if not me.
The shit we do can be funny.
Like I thought Jason Mewes was hysterical.
Jason Mewes essentially is the character he plays is who he was when I met him when he was sixteen
Like he's based on 16 year old fucking Jay.
And I always say to him, you're fucking funny, man.
I wonder if anyone outside of Highlands would find you funny.
Cause all his humor always seemed very locally themed and shit.
It was all about people we knew and where we lived.
I was like fuck man.
You don't sound like anybody else.
Somebody should put you in a movie.
And I'd say that for fucking years, and one day when I realized that I wanted to be a filmmaker,
I was like oh, my god, I'm the guy who is going to put you in a fucking movie.
LAUGHTER
And I did, and like the movie came out and nobody mentioned him, like none of the critics talked
about Jay and Silent Bob.
They would reference me, and were like the director plays a character called Silent Bob.
But they wouldn't talk about performances.
They would talk about Brian and Jeff and the two clerks and stuff, and the movie itself, but they
never talked about Jay and Silent Bob, except People Magazine, interestingly enough,
Um, the review said, "The Jason Mewes character... you wanna find the rock he crawled out from
under and make sure there's nothing else like it under there.
LAUGHTER
That's the only fucking review we ever got,
and he brought it to me and goes is this good?
And I was like, In my book that's fucking stellar.
(unintelligible) won a crown and shit like that
So, I, you know, Just the notion of a snapshot of where we were, why not.
You know, same Idea behind the podcast.
Record a conversation because you're interested.
I'm mean, yeah other people are interested and shit, that why we watch tv and shit, we see movies
but really we do that to pass the time.
So why not pass the time telling your story, you know what I'm saying?
Like, hey, I'll tell you, it's fun to watch movies, but it's way more fun to make a movie.
You know, it's fun to listen to people talk about themselves but it's way more fun
to talk about yourself
So for me, that's what Clerks was, because.
like I just wanna see if I can do it.
And years later I had a similar brainstem moment with Tusk, before we made that movie,
because it came from a podcast that me and Scott Mosier were doing, and you can hear
that episode 259, it's called the Walrus and the Carpenter.
And we come up with essentially what is the story of Tusk.
Like make it up on the show. and then you hear me fall in love with it in the middle of the podcast
It's rare you got a microphone on in a moment of inspiration, but it happened and shit.
And you can hear me fall in love with the idea.
Where I'm like copyright this, fuck everyone else copyright Kevin and Scott. This idea's mine.
I fell in love with the notion of wanting to see this movie about a guy who turns another
guy into a walrus.
And I was like getting sad.
I even said, I was like Nobody is going to make this movie, dude.
Where are all the brilliant filmmakers who will make this man to walrus cinema?
LAUGHTER
And, and I had a fucking brain snap, man,
cause I was like oh shit, you used to be one of those brilliant filmmakers.
You know, BAM it happened again.
It's just like, Kevin, nobody is ever going to make a movie about a guy who turns another
guy into a walrus, it's just not going to happen.
If you want to see that movie, and it fucking sounds like you do...
You know the path, man Let's have some fun, and I tried making it and shit.
So, when I look at the movies I made, honestly, the sequel to Clerks isn't Clerks II, the closest spiritual
sequel to Clerks is Tusk, because they're both made with the same idea of, I just want
to see what this looks like.
Wasn't thinking about anybody else.
I was just like I just wanna see this.
I just wanna see this little snapshot of the world.
So, I'm so delighted, man, that Clerks, like, made you, go like, Oooh, like it was a rallying
cry for you the way that Slacker was a rallying cry for me.
It was really the beginning of it, that was just the start of it.
For 20 years, I've been considering this idea about my role and my friends and wanting to
tell that story and then six years ago I started a t-shirt company and I started making art
based around the things I care about, legalized weed, gay marriage, equal rights, and thinking about funny...
What's it called? What's it called?
We've actually, we talked about it in Phoenix a few years ago.
It's called House Of HaHa.
Right on, everyone hear that?
Where can they go to buy shit?
HouseOfHaHa.com What a great fucking name.
Right on, and I can vouch for your t-shirts too
Yeah, we talked two years ago in Phoenix.
Jordan had helped set it up, and I had the opportunity to, I got you a bag of our stuff to you
YEAH!
I had an opportunity to ask you, and since you brought it up, let me ask you again,
if you're interested, House Of HaHa would love to work with you
In a heartbeat, dude, absolutely!
Uh, the plot of the movie, um, requires a, like when Jay and Silent Bob get to Los Angeles, heading
to where the movies being shot, and the movies being shot at Jay and Silent Con, which is
a Jay and Silent Bob convention, where everybody looks like Jay and Silent Bob.
So we're going to need a bunch of fucking t-shirts, so believe me, if you want in , I'll use you
Could I walk over and hand you my card?
Of course.
That way I can know we will keep in touch Absolutely, man. Give it up for the House Of HaHa!
CHEERING + APPLAUSE
I was just going to ask a quick question
Go ahead. Go ahead
I was just going to ask, I know that you're
doing the reboot, what's your plans for Moose Jaws?
Um, Moose Jaws right after that.
I just got our financial plans, someone sent to me, uh, from this company that these, these two cats are
going out for our financing.
Looks like it's actually going to happen, so
Reboot, Reboot happens and then afterwards we do Moose Jaws.
APPLAUSE and transition to next question
