Day four and the rain started in the early morning hours and then briefly stopped until, as fate would have it, we had to be in the ditches (a restricted area between the taxiway and runway) for our photography session during the air show.
Before braving the cold and rain though we decided to do a quick visit to the museum. I have visited the museum more than eight times and each time I am still amazed by the quality and variety of the exhibits. Obviously the exhibits are skewed towards the history of the homebuilder's movement and the experimental aircraft category.
Back to the ditch we were all looking forward to the 100th anniversary of Coast Guard aviation. Unfortunately, perhaps because of the weather, sole coast guard assets that were displayed were a Sikorsky MH65D and Eurocopter TH65D that did a circuit or two and then demonstrated a rope descent by rescue swimmers.
If the Coast Guard disappointed, the Warbirds more than made up for it.
Today was also the 30th anniversary celebrations of the Vans RV6 and various other RV types were also displayed.
Aerobatics are always one of the star attractions at any show and it is no exception at Oshkosh.


I picked up another hefty delivery of meat yesterday from one of the farmers I buy from.
At various times during the year I order an entire lamb, a whole hog, or a side of beef. Today it was dozens of chickens and a few extra bundles of bacon and such. It all goes in to the freezers.
The highest quality cuts become wonderful roasts or barbecue while the lesser portions are turned in to soups, stews, and stock that I pressure can in big batches. I really enjoy giving my money directly to the families that raise my food. And the quality is excellent.
At the other end of the spectrum are the old school San Francisco lefties with "Tax the Rich" and "Keep Our Muslim Neighbors Safe" buttons who are also kind, generous, and loving — although from an entirely different perspective. In between, middle-of-the-road soccer moms and at least one aging gay guy of no particular political or spiritual persuasion (cough) round out the image. Given the current political atmosphere we should all be at each other with knives. Instead, it's all big hugs with lots of mutual respect and genuine affection.
As a nation we have multiple, profound, long-festering, overlapping predicaments that we need to come to grips with. None of the options are particularly savory. We need to roll up our sleeves and get serious. As face-to-face individuals, we don't actually have a problem with each other. But all sides of our most critical institutions are obsessed with the minutiae of their own palace intrigue. There's a palpable reciprocal commitment by the various factions to destroy the opposition by dividing the country — at all costs. The problem is external reality is going to intervene sooner or later. This isn't going to end well if we don't pull together.


RICHMOND Richmond will soon join a handful of cities, including the District and Baltimore, that use cameras to prevent crime.
On Jan. 27, the City Council gave Police Chief Andre De Parker the go-ahead to spend $375,000 on 20 to 30 video-surveillance cameras for high-crime areas. Mr. Parker and supporters hail the cameras as the latest crime deterrent.
Opponents, such as the American Civil Liberties Union, argue the cameras are an invasion of privacy.
Mr. Parker contends, however, that the cameras and the Constitution are compatible.
"We monitor spaces where there's no constitutional right to privacy," he said in an interview published yesterday in the Richmond Times-Dispatch. "We reserve the right to decide how we deploy them."
The cameras will be movable and concealed. Sometimes, an officer will monitor them, sometimes not. They will be installed in high-crime areas and places where residents say they are needed.
"We will use them as we feel they are tactically feasible," Mr. Parker said. "The addition of cameras allows us to do more, to follow up and be places we can't be."
Tom Yeager investigated crime in Baltimore's roughest neighborhoods for almost 30 years as part of the city's police department.
Now, he is watching it happen from a renovated brick office building that houses the Downtown Partnership of Baltimore.
He can turn on the television and monitor 16 surveillance cameras run by the partnership, a nonprofit organization dedicated to cleaning up the city. In all, four sets of 16 cameras provide 24-hour watch over 106 blocks of downtown Baltimore. Two more networks are in the works.
The cameras are on all day, every day.
"You can't put a cop on every block, but you can put a camera there," Mr. Yeager said.
There, the technology is used primarily to prevent car break-ins on city streets. Mr. Parker's plan is to use cameras in downtown Richmond to deter drug-related and violent crime.
In Baltimore, each camera is marked clearly as a video-surveillance area.
"The idea is, if someone commits a crime, they're going to run past a camera somewhere," Mr. Yeager said. "If you're foolish enough to commit a crime underneath a camera, we'll be more than happy to have you arrested."
City police can request a specific videotape from the Downtown Partnership when they believe a crime may have been caught on tape. After a week, if no police agency has claimed the tape, the cameras record over it.
Baltimore police have their own covert cameras throughout the city, said John Pignataro, chief of information technology for the Baltimore Police Department, but those are used mainly for narcotics investigations.
In Washington, 14 globe-shaped cameras peek out from the tops of tall buildings across the city. They offer 360-degree views.
One person familiar with them said, "You can read someone's belt buckle from a mile away. Their range is tremendous."
The ACLU's D.C. office is pushing city leaders to abandon the cameras.
"Tell me one terrorist that's been ferreted out by cameras," Executive Director Johnny Barnes said.
"Tell me one crook that's been caught, one crime that's been prevented. Studies conclude these cameras have little or no effect on crime."
Two years ago, the International Association of Chiefs of Police surveyed police departments across the country about their use of cameras. It found that more than 700 agencies used the technology.
The study also found that 96 percent of agencies using cameras had no system in place to analyze whether the cameras were effective in reducing crime.
Of the eight agencies that measured the cameras' effectiveness, three said they had a "great" effect on crime, four said their effect was moderate and one said the cameras had a marginal effect on crime.
In Richmond, ACLU Executive Director Kent Willis said he plans to lobby City Council and Mr. Parker to change their minds about the cameras.
"It's pretty clear that it is not considered unconstitutional to place cameras in public places," he said.
"Our argument is almost entirely a public-policy argument. It may not be a legal invasion of privacy, but it is part and parcel of the use of new technology to significantly erode the privacy of individuals of the United States."


We aim to make spectacles within 10 working days of the order being processed. This is regardless of the type of lens, the manufacturer of the lens and if it has undergone any additional treatments.
Once the order has been made, our optometrist will fit and adjust the spectacles on our patients. This is something we do not compromise on as it is very important that the patient is looking through the correct part of the lens and that the frames feel comfortable. We are the only major company that assign our optometrists for this task, as most other companies ask assistants to do the fitting, who are under qualified and lack the knowledge and training in order to be competent in carrying out such an important part of the process.
We have a dedicated team at hand to deal with any patient concerns or issues whenever they arise. We aim to rectify any problems experienced by our patients within a week of being notified. Our friendly team will be happy to help if your glasses no longer fit properly or the lenses need cleaning. We also offer an MOT of glasses after six months to our patients. If they require any screws or nose pads replacing we will do that free of charge.

YEREVAN, January 13. /ARKA/. Armenia's current account deficit of the balance of payments in January-September 2016 dropped by $75.29 million from the year before to $110.03 million, the National Statistical Service (NSS) said.
In Armenia imports exceeded exports 2-3 times for many years, resulting in a current account deficit of the balance of payments worth more than $1 billion.
For example, at the end of 2011 the deficit was about $1.2 billion, however, in 2013 current account deficit of the balance of payments fell to $839.24 million. In 2015 alone this figure slashed by $569.78 million to $279.30 million. As a result, over the past 5 years, the current account deficit of balance of payments decreased by 10 times.
It should be noted that the reduction was due to a huge decline in imports in 2015, as well as to unprecedented growth of exports in 2016.


This Meatless Monday, we feature Asian Greens, with delicious recipes for Bok Choy Stir-fry with Roasted Peanuts and Chinese Cabbage Slaw from Vermont Fresh: A Fruit and Vegetable Handbook.
Tracey Kawecki, a, a volunteer cooking, tasting and testing recipes out of the Vermont Fresh Handbook tested and adapted this recipe. She made some major corrections on the amount of bok choy to use, as well as offered time-saving tips below, so be sure to cross-reference the Handbook with these suggestions if you decide to try this recipe.
If using raw peanuts, heat 1 teaspoon of oil in heavy saucepan and cook peanuts until golden.
Remove peanuts from heat and chop them up with the pepper flakes and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
Cut t the bok choy stems off the leaves. Chop them into 1-inch pieces.
Mix ingredients in Sauce Mix together. Set aside.
Heat a wok or frying pan on medium-high until hot. Add oil, then ginger, then garlic, and stir-fry until garlic turns golden but not burned.
Add the bok choy stems and stir-fry until just tender. Then add leaves and cook until wilted and shiny.
Add Sauce Mixture. Cook for 1 minute.
Remove from heat, add peanut/pepper mixture, and serve immediately.
Time Saving Tips 1: Ginger can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the freezer. Method: Cut ginger into 1 inch chunks. Mince in the food processor. Store in freezable plastic bags, in very thin layer. Pinch off frozen ginger and use directly in place of fresh ginger.
Time Saving Tips 2: To avoid wasting vegetables, steam-fry them ahead of time. Steam-fry method: Bring ½ cup of water to boil in a vessel large enough to fit vegetables. Immediately add cleaned and drained vegetables. Add ½ TB of oil. Cover and shake the pot to distribute things inside. Let steam on high heat for 2 or 3 minutes. Most of the water would have been evaporated, the vegetables would be cooked and brightly colored. Refrigerate the steam-fried vegetables. When preparing the meal, just warm up the vegetables in the microwave, make and heat up the flavoring and sauce, mix in the warmed vegetables and serve.
I did not use the peanuts. This dish is very flavorful. I used my frozen ginger instead of fresh ginger. I've also changed edited the ingredients and instructions.
Cost: Chinese Nappa $0.98/lb; carrots $?; rice vinegar $?; ginger $3.99/lb; onion $?; cilantro $?
Toss in the cabbage, carrots, onions, cilantro.
Time Saving Tips 2: Cilantro and scallion can be chopped ahead of time and will keep in the refrigerator for a week. I clean, drain, and chop all of them on the day of purchase. I store them in a plastic container with a piece of paper towel so that the excess moisture (which often spoils the herbs) can absorbed.
Deliciously refreshing. Excellent balance of sweet, sour, and spicy.

Q: PyQt4 error: unexpected type 'method' I'm trying to run a simple PyQT4 application. I've installed Python3.4 and PyQt4. I've tested a simple "Hello World" app and all works well. However when trying to code a simple tax calculator app I'm getting stuck with a "unexpected type 'method'" error. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Here's my python code:
import sys
from PyQt4 import QtCore, QtGui, uic

qtCreatorFile = 'tax.ui' # Enter file here.

Ui_MainWindow, QtBaseClass = uic.loadUiType(qtCreatorFile)

class MyApp(QtGui.QMainWindow, Ui_MainWindow):
    def __init__(self):
        QtGui.QMainWindow.__init__(self)
        Ui_MainWindow.__init__(self)
        self.setupUi(self)
        self.calcTax.connect(self.CalculateTax)

    def CalculateTax(self):
        price = int(self.priceBox.toPlainText())
        tax = (self.taxRate.value())
        total_price = price  + ((tax / 100) * price)
        total_price_string = 'The total price with tax is: ' + str(total_price)
        self.resultBox.setText(total_price_string)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
    window = MyApp()
    window.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

and here's the full error message returned when executing:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "tax.py", line 24, in <module>
    window = tax()
  File "tax.py", line 13, in __init__
    self.calcTax.connect(self.CalculateTax)
TypeError: arguments did not match any overloaded call:
  QObject.connect(QObject, SIGNAL(), QObject, SLOT(), Qt.ConnectionType=Qt.AutoConnection): argument 1 has unexpected type 'method'
  QObject.connect(QObject, SIGNAL(), callable, Qt.ConnectionType=Qt.AutoConnection): argument 1 has unexpected type 'method'
  QObject.connect(QObject, SIGNAL(), SLOT(), Qt.ConnectionType=Qt.AutoConnection): argument 1 has unexpected type 'method'

Would really appreciate any help

A: The new connection style has the following syntax:
self.calcTax.some_signal.connect(self.CalculateTax)

For example if self.calcTax is a button and you want to execute the function when you press that button you should put the following:
self.calcTax.clicked.connect(self.CalculateTax)

Hines Announces the Start of Construction on First Project in Krakow, Poland
(WARSAW, POLAND) – The Warsaw office of Hines, the international real estate firm, announced today that construction has begun on Apartamenty Novum, the approximately 400-unit multi-building apartment complex ranging in heights from four to nine stories.
The development is located in the center of Krakow at 20 Rakowicka Street, only 1.5 kilometers from the Main Market Square of the Old Town.
The development is situated on a 4.8-hectare (11.8-acre) site, which was acquired in October 2011 by Hines and Heitman.
"Our first attempts to purchase an investment in Krakow were made back in 2005.
We were looking for a centrally located site allowing for a larger scale project, which is extremely difficult to find in Krakow because of its densely built historic district," said Wojciech Rumian, managing director for Hines Poland.
"The start of construction on Apartamenty Novum is not only a happy ending to a complex acquisition
process, but also a beginning of a long-term presence of Hines in Krakow and a hope for subsequent investments."
The 286,500-square-foot complex was designed by local architect IMB Asymetria.
The complex will be modern in design, and will include landscaped internal courtyards and reception lobbies with quality finishes.
Apartment ceiling heights will be above-standard at 3.1 meters.
A two-level garage will contain 458 parking spaces.
Hines recently opened a sales office on-site.
Pricing for the apartments starts from 7,800 Polish zloty ($2,450) per square meter for an unfinished apartment.
In the second half of 2012, Hines will introduce options for apartment finishes.
Project completion on the for-sale apartments is expected at the end of 2013.
Contractor services are being provided by Erbud S.A.
Hines entered the Poland real estate market in 1997 with the development of Metropolitan, a Class A office building located at Pilsudskiego Square in Warsaw, which received the MIPIM Award in Cannes in 2004 for the Best Office Building in the World.
Hines also developed the Impresja apartments in Wilanow.
Currently, the firm is developing the Quattro Towers residential complex in Gdansk.
Hines is a privately owned real estate firm involved in real estate investment, development and property management worldwide. The firm's historical and current portfolio of projects that are underway, completed, acquired and managed for third parties includes 1,147 properties representing more than 462 million square feet of office, residential, mixed-use, industrial, hotel, medical and sports facilities, as well as large, master-planned communities and land developments.
With offices in 108 cities in 18 countries, and controlled assets valued at approximately $23.4 billion, Hines is one of the largest real estate organizations in the world. Hines is also a world leader in sustainable real estate strategies, with extensive experience in LEED®, ENERGY STAR®, BREEAM, Haute Qualité Environnementale and DGNB green building rating systems.

Tales from the last days of empire
COG Chapter 17
July 1, 2019 COGCOGTroy
#ContinuityOfGovernment, #WW3, #Deep State
Buried a thousand feet beneath Ohio, the ten trillion dollar, UN-constructed SuperBunker can shelter a million members of the global elite indefinitely, with all the comforts of the surface including simulated blue skies, boutique shopping, and three golf courses. The President of the United States, Arman "Our Man" Manfred, regains consciousness in one of the bunker's six hospitals. Surrounded by his trusted advisors and his official hagiographer, his office becomes ensnared in the Machiavellian underworld of SuperBunker geo-politics. The situation worsens when the president's Russian and Chinese counterparts execute Protocol 4, sealing the blast doors and severing all contact with the surface, relegating the world's leaders to governing a mere computer simulation of the world above. An attempt to blackmail the POTUS with a salacious video taken by his own security agency forces President Manfred into seclusion. With his office infiltrated by a traitor and hobbled by incompetence, he attempts one final 'Hail Mary' that might just save the office of the president… even if it destroys the world in the process.
Buckminster found President Manfred on the golf course. He was playing alone. Fricke stood nearby clasping the Nuclear Football. Tibbles was reading something on his cell. Haberdash was serving as his caddy. Buckminster's driver pulled their golf cart next to them on the 10th tee.
"Mr. President?"
"Bucky!" The president responded without making eye contact. He took three practice swings then hit. The ball shot out with a ping, low but true. "Come, walk with me Bucky."
Buckminster exited his cart and marched up to the POTUS. The president motioned for Fricke and Tibbles to hang back.
"Bucky," the POTUS started, let's have a little chat." The duo started down the turf fairway towards the president's ball. "Isn't it good to get out and get some fresh air?"
"I suppose. But we're a thousand feet underground, sir."
"Oh, Bucky…."
"What can I do for you, sir."
"I want you to be the first person to know about my decision."
"Which decision, sir?"
"I want you to know I've been laboring long and hard about this. Last night, I got down on my knees and prayed to the good Lord for a sign. Well Bucky, I think I got that sign earlier this morning."
"Really, sir?"
"Yep. You see, I got myself into a little trouble back on hole three. My tee shot hooked– you know that nasty slap hook I have. Well, it hit in the middle of the fairway but… but then it just rolled left, and rolled, and rolled…"
"Sorry to hear that, sir."
"It rolled left, clean off the fairway and into the bunker."
"Oh no," Buckminster feigned concern.
"Yep. Right down into the middle of the trap."
"That's terrible, sir."
"Yes, it is. Oh, you should have heard me cussing, Bucky. I was so angry. You know my bunker play is not my strong suit."
"I thought it was coming along, sir."
"Bucky, what have I said a thousand times about my theory of golf?"
"You always say to 'attack the green,' sir."
"That's right. Attack, attack, attack! You can't ever give your opponent breathing room. If you lay up, you give your enemy time to take the initiative."
"I believe the putting green is an inanimate object, sir, but I think I get your point."
"Play golf like Patton would, Bucky. Sitting in a bunker is like god damn trench warfare. It doesn't suit his or my style."
"No, it doesn't, sir."
"So, after breaking my three iron in half, I took my sand wedge from Hab and walked up to that evil, godless, Nazi bunker to face my peril alone. I was in a dark place, Bucky. How was I going to get out of that quagmire?"
"I don't know sir."
"It was very bleak, very bleak. But I just kept thinking about General George S. Patton Jr. What would he do in my place, Bucky?"
"I don't know, sir. Maybe he would have slapped his caddy?"
"I took a deep breath and I drew into my backswing…" the president's eyes closed so that he could immerse himself in the memory. "…and a great sense of calm came over me."
"Then what, sir?"
"I let go and swung. I brought my wedge down into the trap just an inch behind the ball, launching a perfect little dollop of sand along with my ball up into the air. That little white projectile hung in space and time and, for a moment, I was transported."
"Transported, sir?"
"Yes. I was transported back to June 1945. To that beach in France. I saw, for instant, Patton storming the shores of Normandy… I was there with him."
"Patton wasn't at Normandy, sir. I believe he was stationed in…"
"He was there, Bucky, and so was I. We were there together on Omaha beach, directing artillery fire at the Nazi positions."
"Artillery, sir? From the middle of the English Channel?"
"We were dialing it right in on those commie Hun bastards."
"Then I transported back here and watched as my ball descended, like shell, no, like an ICBM on re-entry, perfectly on target. It bounced once… twice… then rolled… curving along the slope of the green… closer… closer… until it fell directly into the hole, vanquishing that son of a bitch Nazi green!"
"Wow, sir. An eagle. Nice job."
"And then, at the very moment the ball went in the hole, I got the text message from the speaker. The Monfasco bill passed."
"Yep. It was right then and there that I knew what my decision was going to be, Bucky."
"Which is?"
"I've decided I am going to go public and announce my campaign for re-election."
Buckminster froze for a moment while the announcement sunk in, then he congratulated the POTUS. The POTUS waived to Haberdash and the others. They reached the president's ball where they stopped and waited for the entourage to catch up. The president walked over to Haberdash and unzipped one of the pouches in his golf bag. He took out his gold-plated .44 magnum and walked back to Bucky whose face was filling with concern.
"Yes sir?"
"It is going to be very hard for me to win re-election if the first lady releases that secret video. Do you understand?"
"I do sir. I am doing everything I can to find her. The Russians have her well-hidden."
"I don't want excuses, Bucky. Excuses are what people use when they flub three shots out of the sand trap and end up taking a triple bogie. Excuses are what the Germans made when they lost Berlin to Eisenhower. I want results, Bucky." The president waived his gun for emphasis. "You have to neutralize that situation; you have to neutralize that situation before we open those blast doors again. Because about a minute after they open, Huli and Timmy are gonna know what we pulled and there won't be any turning back at that point."
"Why don't we just call it off, sir? Just leave things as they are… in Protocol 4."
"Because there's no upside in that. If we don't rescind it, the Sino-Russian axis will know something's up. At least by opening the doors we can buy some goodwill with whom we're allowing in. But if you don't get that bitch neutralized beforehand, then we'll have to go with my Plan B."
"Plan B?"
"Just do your job, Bucky. If not, it will all be over, and it will all be your fault." The president pointed the magnum at Buckminster, right between the eyes.
"But sir, I…"
"Shh, shh, shh," the POTUS shushed. "No more excuses. Take care of it or it'll be all your fault."

The second half is bold and dynamic and depicts the three Dewars gentlemen that established the brand.


Macy's, Where are all the girl balloons?
Update Nov. 24: A great piece, by Lily Blau of the Huffington Post, on the Macy's Day Parade Petition.
Hardy Girls Healthy Women, founding partner of the SPARK Movement, wants to give girls the opportunity to see their favorite female characters float through the air at the seasonal Macy's Day Parade.
In the 84-year history of the parade, only 8% of all the balloons were of female characters. That's 10 out of 129! Macy's has over 3.5million people lining the New York streets to watch the parade and another 50million viewing from home. Don't the little girls deserve to see themselves reflected in the event?
Hardy Girls Healthy Women have initiated a petition that asks Macy's Inc CEO, Terry J. Lundgren, to commit to building an equal number of female characters balloons into the parade line-up. Join the fight for equality. Sign the petition below and text PETITION to 61827.
How about some more female balloons? And not ones that are only famous because of the male characters they're associated with, like Minnie Mouse. For a cartoon character, how about JoJo the Clown or Dora the Explorer or Word Girl? Or a historical figure like Amelia Earhart?
More girls would be good! AG doll characters maybe? My kids love the parade.
I support more female characters as well as those of color.
Suggestions: Jane Goodall,Little Lulu,Joan Jett,Sally Ride.

Profoto are calling the B1X the "new benchmark for on-location lighting". And if it's true, then it's about time. Given that the $600 Godox AD600 seemed to keep up with the triple-the-cost Profoto B1 just fine, they sure needed to do something. And so they have.
The new Profoto B1X has a bigger battery, brighter modelling light and increased power range when shooting high speed sync. And it keeps the same price as its B1 predecessor.
Power seems to be the biggest improvement with this light, especially when it comes to high speed sync. Not much of a surprise, though. High speed sync has started to become far more popular as strobes have started to add the capability. No longer limited to puny speedlights, we can now use big octaboxes in bright sunlight. I regularly do it myself with a pair of Godox AD360II.
Of course, the B1 also supported high speed sync, but with a more limited capability. You had to be at least quarter power, and on some camera brands, at least half power. This was a common frustration for B1 users who liked to take it out on location. Now, the B1x extends this to provide 9 whole stops of adjustment when shooting high speed sync all the way up to 1/8000th of a second.
Photographer Tim Kemple got to give the B1x a good workout on location in Mallorca. It looks like it handles the extreme situations pretty well. Although, the B1 also handled them fairly well, too, so one would hope so. That camera fumble totally looks staged, though.
The modelling light of the B1x has seen an 80% boost in power over the B1. This sounds quite impressive, but in reality that's less than a one stop difference. Whether it'll be enough to make that much of a difference remains to be seen.
There's a new "Mark II" version of the battery, which bumps the 500Ws strobe up from 220 full power pops to 325. Of course, the new Mark II battery will also go onto the original B1 unit, as well. So, if you're already a B1 owner who's happy with the modelling light and HSS capabilities, you may be best off just buying new batteries.
Like the B1 it's compatible with the (available separately for $419) AirTTL remote for Nikon, Canon, Sony or Olympus. No joy for Fuji owners yet, which may give Godox the edge with the growing number of X system users.
It's an impressive looking unit, both on paper and in Tim's video. The B1, though, was already quite impressive. While Profoto are describing it basically as the best thing since sliced bread, it's really only an incremental update over the B1. But at least the price is the same.
You can find out more about the Profoto B1x on the Profoto website. The Profoto B1X is available to purchase now for $2,095.

(French 1934 b 281')
Based on Victor Hugo's novel, after fourteen years of hard labor a strong man is released from prison, is turned away, and tries to steal; but a priest helps him and inspires him to be honest. He rescues an orphan girl from those exploiting her and raises her as his daughter. A police inspector tries to have him arrested, and he risks his own freedom to keep an innocent man from being punished. After an attempted revolution he rescues the inspector and the man his daughter wants to marry.
Tempest in a Skull
Jean Valjean (Harry Baur) moves a heavy sculpture with his great strength to restore a building, and he is chained with the other convict workers.
An official informs Valjean that his strong shoulder earned his early release from prison rather than in October. He is freed on September 8, 1815. On March 2, 1796 he had been sentenced at the age of 25 to five years hard labor for breaking and entering and theft, but four escape attempts got him 14 years of additional time. He is given his convict's passport and 120 francs. He is escorted out of the prison, and he is reminded that one offense will bring him back there.
Outside the prison Valjean looks at the sea and walks down the steps. He dines and says they cheated him out of some money after nineteen years hard labor. He asks the way to Pontarlier and wants to exercise his legs.
Valjean walks on a country road with a backpack and stick. He comes to the town of Digne and has his passport stamped. At night he sits on a bench in a plaza. A woman offers him money, and the says no thank you. He says they turned him away everywhere. She advises him to knock on a nearby door, and he does so.
Monseigneur Myriel (Henry Krauss) invites him to enter, and Valjean comes in. He says he is a convict who stole a loaf of bread and resisted arrested. He spent 19 years in prison and has walked 14 miles. He says he has 119 francs and can pay for a room. The prelate Myriel tells Madame Magloire to set another place, and Valjean repeats what he said, noting they wrote that he is dangerous. The priest Myriel tells her to prepare his bed with clean sheets, and he says they are dining soon. Valjean realizes that he is letting him stay, and he asks who he is. Myriel says he is the priest there. Valjean puts his backpack on the floor. The priest asks for more light, and she brings two silver candlesticks to the table. They pray and sit down at the table with another woman. Magloire brings them large silver spoons for the soup. Myriel kisses the lady, and she goes out. He shows Valjean to his room and says goodnight. Valjean asks why he trusts him in the next room. He sees Magloire put away the silver spoons, and he lies down on the bed.
Valjean leaves from the window. Magloire tells the priest that the man robbed them. They hear a knock, and Valjean is brought in by three policemen. The bishop Myriel sees the silver in his hand and says that he gave it to him along with the candlesticks. He asks Valjean why he did not take the candlesticks, and he has Magloire get them for him. The police ask if they should release him, and the bishop says they must. They police remove his handcuffs and go out. Valjean takes the candlesticks, and the bishop invites him to come there again and wishes him good luck. He knows that he will use the silver to become an honest man. Valjean leaves with the silver items.
Outside he has put them in his backpack and walks away. He walks in the country on a path and sits down to rest. He hears a boy singing. The boy is tossing a coin and drops it in front of Valjean who puts his foot on it. The boy tries to get him to move his foot, but he tells him to run along and threatens him. The boy runs away, and Valjean moves his foot and picks up the coin. He is surprised to see the coin and calls to the boy to come back and get his money. Valjean gives up and calls himself a wretch, crying. He thinks of the chains and says it is enough. He rips up his convict's passport and throws it away.
Men and women are dancing as an orchestra plays, and others dine. A man says a blonde is virtuous. At her table the blonde tells her women friends that she made a conquest, and the laugh. The man tells his friend that to kiss her one would have to promise to marry her. The friend says he will, and they go over to her. The dancer introduces his friend Mr. Tholomyés to Miss Fantine (Florelle).
In May 1823 at a professional school a man introduces Mr. Madeleine to the attending students who applaud. He says the man has agreed to serve as mayor, and they cheer. For five years he has exemplified the progress of the city.
A man talks with a woman about improvements in jewelry that Mr. Madeleine has developed. She says that Madeleine is rich now.
In his home Valjean lights his candles and uses the name Madeleine, and a man calls him a saint because of what was said at his inauguration. He says he knew a real saint, but he died last week. He is mourning the bishop of Digne.
An old man at a desk reads a letter for Fantine. He says your little Cosette is happy and in good health. She got a nice cloak for her sixth birthday. The letter asks that 30 francs be sent, and it is signed by Thénardier. Fantine is happy that Cosette is in good health, and she tells him to write that she is sending 20 francs at once.
Thénardier (Charles Dullin) reads the letter from Fantine and says he will not wait for ten more francs. He says a good-looking girl can make money. He asks his wife La Thénardier (Marguerite Moreno) to bring his writing table, and she yells at little Cosette in the kitchen. Cosette brings in the pen and writing board. Thénardier tells Cosette to bring the prescriptions that the doctor made out for Eponine and Azelma. Eponine reminds her it was when they had measles. Cosette understands and goes out.
Thénardier has written that Cosette has measles, and they need forty francs. Fantine shows the letter to the woman she works for and says she has no money. The woman asks whose child it is, and Fantine says it is hers. The woman asks if she is married. Fantine says no; she was to marry Mr. Tholomyés; but he abandoned her eight years ago when she was pregnant. She had no money; so she left the child with the innkeepers Thénardier. The woman sends her back to work and puts the letter in her desk. She looks out the window and sees men pushing a cart loaded with bags. In the workplace the women gossip.
In the street below a wagon gets stuck, and a man is trapped underneath it. The Mayor arrives, and they talk about getting a blacksmith. He says they cannot wait. Inspecteur Javert (Charles Vanel) tells him that only one man could lift the cart, and he is a convict at Toulon. Valjean takes off his coat and crawls under the cart and then lifts it on his back so that a man can pull the injured man out. They give the Mayor his coat and hat back.
The woman boss returns to Fantine and gives her fifty francs but tells her that the Mayor has said she must go after being there two years. Fantine asks how she is to manage when she owes 40 francs for her child and 30 for rent. She says she can leave immediately. Fantine says this is horrible as she puts on her coat. She asks what she did wrong, and another woman says that the Mayor cannot tolerate injustice. Fantine says what her supervisor told her, but this woman doubts the Mayor would dismiss her and asks if she has seen him. Fantine leaves, and the woman calls the supervisor a witch.
Javert is writing a letter to the head of the police in Paris that the Mayor has a striking resemblance.
Fantine walks up stairs and knocks on the door of Mr. Legris. He tells her to come in, and he asks her if she has the money. She says she lost her job at the factory. If she sends 40 francs for her child, she will have only 10 for herself. He says her rent must be paid one way or another. He tells her she must move out and says Cosette is her problem. He says she is stupid. She says a barber offered her 20 francs for her hair, and he says she can money for her teeth. He says that then no one will look at her.
La Thénardier tells her husband that Cosette is broke and that she refuses to prostitute herself. They should sell Cosette. Thénardier says he will give her all the credit she wants, and he will ask for 50 francs by return post. He says she will find money by stooping to pick it up. He says it is July, and by Christmas their girls will be in fur. He asks her to wait until winter.
Cosette tends a fire in a fireplace, and La Thénardier orders her to run errands. La Thénardier complains they don't have furs, and Thénardier says winter is not gone yet. A maid is concerned that the little girl is in rags.
Cosette returns and tries to help the customers in the inn. A man asks who she is, and she says she is the maid.
Fantine is accosted by a man who examines her missing teeth and laughs. He says even monkeys catch cold as she coughs. He offers her an overcoat but puts snow down the back of her dress. She gets angry and hits him many times. People gather, and police arrest her.
Valjean at his desk hears the commotion and looks out the window. He takes his coat and goes out.
Fantine tells Javert that the man put snow down her back. She begs him not to put her in jail.
Valjean listens to people telling what happened.
Fantine says she has a little girl, and she owes the Thénardiers 100 francs. She says the man thought she was a loose woman. Valjean is listening to her. She coughs and begs Javert, saying she wants to earn enough to take care of Cosette. Javert is going to send her to jail and says she will get three months. He sees the Mayor, and she spits in the Mayor's face. Valjean tells Javert to release her, and she says it was the Mayor's fault that she lost her job. She thanks Javert for letting her go. Javert tells the Mayor he cannot do this. Valjean says he should have arrested the man, and she will not spend one day in jail. Javert says this is a police matter and that she is under arrest. The Mayor orders him to release her, and they argue. Javert goes out, and Valjean tells Fantine that he did not know anything about her. He says no one will ever hurt her again. He says he will send for her child, and he won't abandon her. She thanks him. They go out, and a policeman brings a letter for Javert. He opens it, and the prefect of police has written that Valjean was caught in another robbery and is in prison again.
Fantine in a bed is being cared for by a physician and a nun. She asks when she will see Cosette again. The sister says when she is cured. Fantine says she is cured but coughs. The sister tells her to rest.
Cosette is sweeping the floor, and Thénardier has her feel the fine clothes of his two children. La Thénardier says that Fantine must have found a fool with deep pockets. Thénardier says they cannot let go of the child.
Valjean tells a servant that he is going away for a few days. He orders him to have Fantine sign a document. The servant says Javert is there to see him. The servant goes out, and Javert comes in. He says he must be relieved of his duties because after the incident he denounced the Mayor to the police in Paris as a former convict. He thought there was a resemblance, and he took him for Jean Valjean. They said he was mistaken because Valjean has been calling himself Champmathieu, and he was caught stealing apples. He is going on trial tomorrow, and Javert is going there to be a witness. The man is sticking to his story, but Javert says the evidence is against him. The Mayor asks how long the trial will last, and Javert says only one day. He will return as soon as he has testified. The Mayor thanks him, and Javert asks what his decision is in regard to his dismissal. The Mayor says he will decide after he comes back. Javert goes out.
Fantine coughs in bed, and the sister says the Mayor wants her to sign her name to a letter asking Thénardier to give Cosette to the bearer of the letter who will pay him all the expenses due. The sister helps her write her name. Fantine asks if the Mayor is going to get her, and the sister says he is.
Valjean studies a map and considers going to Arras. He realizes he cannot get there in time in his carriage or on his horse. Then he realizes he can go to Amiens and take a post to Paris. He looks at the coin he took from the boy and thinks that is all behind him. He is a mayor now who has built factories and done more good than harm. He considers Jean Valjean dead. He hears a voice that Champmathieu will be put in prison for life for the crimes of Valjean. He gets angry and knocks a candlestick on the floor. He picks it up and lights the candle. Later he hears a knock. A woman tells him that it is five, and his carriage is there. He puts a letter from the banker Lafitte in Paris in his coat, and he goes out.
Valjean outside asks a man if the horse can take the carriage 20 leagues in one day. He gets in and drives fast.
A doctor tells the sister that he fears Fantine will have another attack. He says the Mayor will not be back until tonight. Fantine in bed asks for Cosette. She asks if the Mayor will bring her soon. She learns it is ten in the morning, and he won't be back until midnight.
In a courtroom three judges come in, and they take up the Valjean case.
Valjean on the road asks if it is far to Arras.
Javert testifies that Valjean tried to escape four times, and he formally recognizes him. The judges thank him. The prosecutor says they have a highwayman who is the hardened criminal, Jean Valjean.
Valjean arrives at night in the carriage and asks a boy to take him to the courthouse.
The prosecutor rests his case. Champmathieu asks to speak in his defense, and he tells his story. A messenger brings a note to a judge, and he tells him to show him in. Champmathieu gets mixed up and sits down; the people laugh. A judge asks if he has any more to say. Champmathieu hesitates and sits down again.
The messenger shows Valjean the door to the courtroom. He can hear the prosecutor saying that this man is Valjean.
Fantine sits up in bed and pleads for the Mayor not to abandon her. She says tomorrow Cosette will have no one. She begs him to love her.
Valjean is listening to the prosecutor speak and goes in the courtroom. Champmathieu says he only picked up fallen apples. He never heard of Valjean, and he declares that he is Champmathieu. The prosecutor and defending lawyer argue. A convict is brought in, and a judge asks him to retract his testimony. The convict says he was the first one to recognize him; they spent five years shackled together. Valjean asks the witness to look at him, and he asks the judge to order his arrest because he is Jean Valjean. A judge says they know the Mayor of Montreuil-sur-Mer.
Outside Javert learns that a carriage is going to Montreuil-sur-Mer, and he asks where the man went and learns he is in the courthouse.
Valjean explains that they were about to make a terrible mistake and that they should release this man. He admits he robbed Monseigneur Myriel and the Savoyard boy. He tells the jury that he sank low, but he has risen above his infamy. He says jails make jailbirds. He asks the three convicts if they still do not recognize him; but he walks over and identifies each of them by name and tells one how he got a scar. The man says it is true. He tells another of his blue tattoo, and he shows it on his arm. Valjean says he will not disturb the court anymore. He has a duty to fulfill to save a dying woman. The prosecutor knows where to find him, and he can arrest him if he thinks it is proper. He says he is at the court's disposal and goes out the way he came in.
At night Valjean drives the carriage.
Javert is looking for Valjean and goes up to Champmathieu who laughs at him. A judge comes out and says they issued a warrant to re-arrest the man.
Fantine sees Valjean come in and asks about Cosette. He says he had another duty, but he will care for her from now on. Javert comes in and says he has a warrant for Valjean's arrest. Valjean says he will go with him, but he warns him not to disturb him for a moment. Javert stands by the door. Fantine sings a song about her child and dies. Valjean kneels by her and swears. He stands up and tells Javert to do his duty as nothing will prevent him from doing his. Javert grabs him.
Javert is knocking on a door. Inside Valjean gives instructions to the sisters, and he hands her money for the priest to donate to the poor. The rest in Paris is for Cosette. He tells the sister to leave him, and she tells him to go and hide. He goes out. Javert comes in and asks the sister where Valjean is. She says she did not see him.
Valjean rides a horse on a road.
The Thénardiers
Little Cosette is carrying a large bucket in the marketplace. She sees dolls, and La Thénardier calls her, scolds her for not having gotten the water yet, and orders her to buy bread.
Cosette is carrying the bucket in the woods and fills it with water she can hardly lift. She gets tired and sits down, crying. Valjean picks up the bucket and asks how old she is. Cosette says she is eight. He asks about her mother and her mistress, and she says it is Madame Thénardier. He says he is on the way there and takes her hand. They walk together, and she tells him her name. In town he says they are having a fair there. Cosette asks him to let her carry it in the house so that she won't be beaten. Valjean goes into the inn with her and orders supper. Cosette serves him bread. La Thénardier asks her if she forgot the bread, and she says the bakery was closed. La Thénardier is about to hit her, but Valjean gives her a coin. The children play while Cosette puts down her knitting and picks up a doll. La Thénardier hits Cosette for handling the doll with her dirty hands. Cosette cries while knitting. Valjean goes out and comes back with the doll that Cosette saw in the shop and gives it to her. The other two girls admire the doll, and Thénardier tells his wife it must have cost 30 francs and to kowtow to him. Thénardier tells Cosette she can play with her doll, and his wife does also. Cosette asks Valjean if it is really hers, and he nods. Thénardier asks Valjean to pay for his meal, and he gives him a coin. Valjean asks about a painting, and Thénardier says it is him when he saved the life of a colonel at Waterloo. He says he painted it and asks if he likes art. Thénardier says times are hard, and he has to provide for the three children. Valjean asks him if someone could take Cosette off his hands. Thénardier says no because he likes the child. He says one does not give a child to a stranger. La Thénardier tries to kiss Cosette, and she flinches. Cosette takes her doll upstairs. Valjean asks Thénardier how much he wants for the child. He says 1,500 francs, and Valjean says he will pay him in the morning. He asks him to show him his room. His wife tells Thénardier that the man would pay twice that. Thénardier tells him that his wife does not want to let her go. Valjean shows them the letter to entrust Cosette to the bearer of the letter from Fantine. He says he can keep the letter he got from her before she died. Thénardier wants to talk figures. Valjean calls Cosette, and he tosses her a bundle of clothes for her. He tells them they are owed 150 francs. He gives them that and 1,500 francs and 50 for his bill. He calls Cosette and puts on his coat. Thénardier says Cosette stays there unless he pays 1,000 crowns. Cosette comes down the stairs with her doll. Valjean carries the doll and takes her by the hand and goes out. The Thénardiers go to the door and watch them walking away.
Valjean and Cosette (Josseline Gael) sit at a table and are celebrating her 16th birthday. She asks him if the air of Paris has changed her, and he says a little. The maid says she has become pretty and a coquette. She blows out the candles with two breaths and says she will marry in two years. He says she is impatient. She cuts the cake and serves him a piece, calling him Mr. Fauchelevent.
Outside Marius Pontmercy (Jean Servais) motions to Cosette at the window. Inside she asks Valjean if he would like to see her married happily. The maid asks if he would like to be a grandfather. He leaves the room, and Cosette asks if they hurt his feelings. She talks out the window to Marius and says she will see him in the park at four. He says he is going to his grandfather to get his consent. Then she can tell her father. Valjean comes to the other window and asks her about the man hanging around the house. In the dining room she asks if he is angry, and they embrace. He tells her to close the window and sit down, and she does so.
Marius walks away and goes into a restaurant. Javert asks a man the last name of Marius, but he does not know. Marius goes into a room where many young men have gathered, and they sing a revolutionary song. One man says they crushed the revolution of 1830, but at a signal in four hours 80,000 patriots could take up arms in 1832. He says that tomorrow is General Lamarck's funeral. He knows he can count on them, and he gives them three minutes to decide.. They discuss it. The man calls their names, and they salute. Marius leaves the room and bumps into Javert before going out.
A servant is shaving the wealthy Mr. Gillenormand (Max Dearly), grandfather of Marius, and says he has the softest skin except the Baron Le Cocq. He dismisses him and tells him to come back again tomorrow. The maid comes in and introduces the new cook. He has her turn around slowly and looks at her. H asks her how to make a Norman soufflé, and she says with apples and brandy. She says her monthly wages are thirty francs, and he says she will be given 50 francs and be called Nicolette. They go out. A butler knocks, comes in, and says Marius is there.
Marius is waiting in an elegant room with a large painting. His grandfather comes in and asks what he wants. He asks if he is there to apologize and serve the king. Marius says no; he only came to ask him for permission to marry. He is 25. The grandfather orders a servant to fetch his daughter. She comes in, but he tells her not to get close to Marius. He tells her that her nephew wishes to marry, and he orders her to go out. She does so. He complains that Marius left his home to live like a pauper. He has rejected him and has gone to clubs that honor the memory of his father who was beaten with Napoleon at Waterloo. He accuses him of becoming a window smasher and thinks he probably has come back to be endowed. He calls him a Jacobin and himself a royalist. He asks how much he earns as a lawyer, and Marius says nothing. He asks how much the girl has, and Marius says the same as he has. He asks what her father does, and Marius says he does not know. Marius asks if he may marry, and his grandfather says never. Marius calls him father, and he puts his arm around Marius. He says he is dressed like a thief. He gives him 100 louis to buy a hat. Marius tells how he loves her and does not want to lose her as her father often is out of town. The grandfather suggests that he make her his mistress. Marius says he will never ask him for anything again and walks off. The grandfather calls to him and orders his servants to bring him back.
Outside Marius walks down the street. He comes back to his home at night and hears a boy whistling. The boy says he prefers the streets and favors liberty. He asks Marius if he has problems with a woman. He says he can get him into a cabaret. He tells him that Eponine likes him. They walk together.
Eponine (Orane Demazis) knocks and asks if Marius is in, but no one answers. She goes in and says he spent the night out. She sings. Marius comes in and says hello to her. He says he saw her brother last night, and they talked politics. He laughs, and she asks what is so funny. He combs his hair, and she says he looks good with ruffled hair. She looks at his book and says he did not study yesterday. She asks him about the Battle of Waterloo and says her father was there. He says two of his friends may be coming to see him. She asks about the pretty young lady and goes out.
Eponine goes down the hall and into the room of her parents. Thénardier drops a watch and notices it is still ticking. He lifted it recently. His wife says she heard the story many times..
Valjean and Cosette are coming out of church, and he gives money to the poor. She asks him to help a poor girl who says her mother is paralyzed and her father did not find work this week. He asks for her address and says he will go there.
Marius wears a suit and fixes his tie.
Cosette persuades Valjean to let her go with him to the poor family, and they get in a carriage.
Eponine comes in and tells her family that a carriage has arrived. Her father Thénardier tells them to make themselves look poor, and they all scramble to get ready.
Cosette knocks on the room of Marius, but Valjean goes the other way to the poor family's dwelling. The father explains their difficult circumstances, and his wife is in bed. Valjean asks if he tried to find work, and he says he is an arthritic actor. Valjean says he will take his daughter home and will return at seven. The father thanks him for his goodness. In the hall Cosette tells Marius that she will see him at the Luxembourg. Thénardier says he remembers the man from eight years ago. He sends his daughters out to warn others so they can prepare.
Valjean sends Cosette home in the carriage. He talks to the boy, and he says he is the son. Valjean asks who else lives on that floor, and the boy says Marius does. The boy whistles, and the two girls come out and tell him where they are going.
Thénardier tells his wife that the pretty girl is Cosette. She resents her having fine clothes while her children are poor. Marius hears this and goes down the stairs.
Cosette tells the carriage driver to take her to the Luxembourg.
Thénardier says they have Croesus hooked now. He looks in Marius's room and sees it is empty. He goes back and tells his wife the gang will be there at seven. He says the man will pay them, or they will give it to him. They laugh.
Cosette is waiting in the park, and Marius finds her. He asks where her father is, and she asks what his grandfather said. He says he said no. She is upset and wants to know why he wants to see her father. He says they need the police. He can't tell her everything he overheard after she left. She asks if he can save her father, and he says he knows an inspector. She says she will be at another house tonight where they sometimes stay. She asks him to meet her, and he agrees. She asks him not to be angry at her for keeping something back because she had no right to tell him. He asks her to forgive him and says he loves her. He says she will be his wife.
Thénardier has explained the situation to five men.
La Thénardier finds a hat in a trunk and dusts it off.
Javert at his desk tells Marius that he would like to nab that gang. He asks about the benefactor, and Marius says his name is Fauchelevent. He asks what he looks like, and Marius says he is a big man. Javert says this may be something big; but he cannot do anything unless they attempt a crime. He gives Marius two small pistols.
Thénardier sticks a knife in the table as he talks with his wife about their plans. He says she looks good in the hat and stole. He instructs her what to do when he arrives. He tells her to go down and dismiss his cab, and she asks him for money which he gives her. He goes out and talks to Marius as he is coming home. He has him come in and says they weren't expecting him so early. He says they are having a visitor tonight and want to borrow his room. He says they want to make a good impression. He shows him the painting of Waterloo and says he could have made a million. He shows him the watch. Marius asks if he saved the colonel at Waterloo and if his name is Jondrette. Thénardier hears something and says he is here. He makes Marius go into his own room and closes the door.
Eponine is in there, and she tells him to run away. Marius reads a letter from his father that tells him that Thénardier saved his life, and he should show him kindness.
Valjean comes in, sits down, and gives Thénardier 100 francs for rent and pressing needs. He says that his wife is looking much better. Thénardier says she is a connoisseur of the arts and found this painting of Waterloo.
Outside Javert motions to a man who grabs a girl and covers her mouth.
Eponine tells Marius to leave his room. She came to his room because she is afraid for him; he knows too much.
Valjean says the painting is very good, but he is not interested. Thénardier asks him if he reminds him of anyone. Valjean says no, and he says he is Thénardier the innkeeper.
Marius hears this and asks Eponine if her name is Thénardier.
Valjean says he has confused him with someone else. Thénardier laughs and tells him to think hard. Valjean says he remembers he is a scoundrel, and Thénardier accuses him of stealing Cosette for 1,500 francs. He says they can work things out, and several men are there listening. He says he must pay him 200,000 francs for the painting, or they will take the girl. He gives him five minutes to think it over. Valjean overturns a table and tries to go out the window, but the men grab him and fight with him. They get him down on the floor.
Marius and Eponine hear this.
Outside Javert and his man wonder what is happening.
Eponine tells Marius that he could have warned the police.
Valjean keeps fighting them off and stands up. He throws something at Thénardier and says they can search him because he has no money on him. He takes a hot poker and burns his arm. He picks up a chair and sits down, warning them they will get nothing from him. One man demands the girl's address.
Eponine tells Marius that she wants to go for the police; but he says he already has them there outside.
The men fight against Valjean, and the throws a bed at them.
Eponine shouts on the wall that the bulls are there.
The men stop fighting and hear what she is saying. Thénardier tells his wife to get the rope ladder. Javert and several men break into the room and arrest the men and the Thénardiers. Valjean points out one more man and then goes out the window. Javert whistles out the window and says he must have been the best.
In the street the police struggle to put the men in a wagon. Javert asks for a cab. The boy comes down from a tree and says he is an orphan again. He whistles and talks to Eponine as she comes out. He gives her some bread and walks off.
Cosette is in a garden by an iron fence.
Valjean hears knocking and puts on his coat. He answers the door, and Javert asks him why he ran off. Valjean says he has not been out since morning. Javert says who he is and comes in. Valjean says this is an outrage. Javert says he knows only one man as strong as he is, and that is the ex-convict Jean Valjean. He says he was also a mayor using the name Madeleine. They have been looking for him for eight years. He asks if anyone ever said he looks like him. Valjean says he is making a mistake. Valjean says his name is Fauchelevent, and he has been living there for fourteen years. He shows him papers and then pulls the tablecloth and runs from the room. Other policemen enter to chase him.
The boy is singing by the river.
Cosette opens the gate, and Marius come inside. She says her father is safe, and they are leaving for England. He asks when, and she says she will explain. He says he has no money, and he has broken with his grandfather for good. They sit down, and she cries and says she loves him. Valjean has arrived and tells Marius he knows the harm he can do him and to get out. Marius says he has respect for him because he loves his daughter, and he can't change that. Marius leaves, and Cosette cries. Valjean tries to comfort her. She says her mother would have been more understanding than he is. She says Marius only has his grandfather, and she gives him the address. He says he will go see him. He is no longer going to England. He knows she loves him. From their garden wall they can see soldiers marching in the street with prisoners in wagons. Cosette asks who they are, and he says they are going to penal colonies. The soldiers are whipping some of them. She asks if they are still human, and he says sometimes.
Liberty, Sweet Liberty
A poster announces "Republic or death." People are walking in the street, and a man asks Pop Mabeuf if he is going to Lamarck's funeral. He says they are going to overthrow Louis Philippe's government.
The cavalry mount their horses, and they ride in the streets. The streets are lined with soldiers standing in a long line on one side. A man tells Eponine to find her neighbor and meet them. A woman asks about the dragoons and is told they are there for the funeral.
Officials in the government talk to the police prefect about what is needed for security. Javert reports that he learned that the students of the ABC club are planning to meet after the cortege passes the Faubourg Saint-Antoine. He is told to watch them and contact Captain Lasalle. Javert goes out.
People are also waiting on both sides of the streets and watch the cavalry go by slowly. Two women discuss how business is bad.
Toussaint tells Cosette and Valjean that she can't find Marius. She heard people talking about barricades in Saint Merri. She stocked up on everything. Cosette tells her father that she is scared because Marius went to fight. He says he will go see Mr. Gillenormand. She says he turned him out. Valjean asks Toussaint who she gave the letter to, and she says she put it on Marius's table.
Eponine picks up the letter from the table and replaces it with a note from his friends. She leaves the room with the letter.
Drums are heard, and the funeral wagon appears. People cross themselves as it goes by. After those on horses, people walk behind, and some are carrying signs for the rights of man. The boy takes something from a soldier. A man orders more soldiers to mount their horses. Shots are fired from houses, and fighting breaks out in the street. People throw furniture and other things from windows and balconies.
An official reports that the situation is out of control. The King in a uniform says he will take a look, and order will be restored by tomorrow.
Men march behind a banner that says "Republic or death." They put up posters and recruit people to join them. They sing a song about the republic calling them.
Valjean tells Cosette that he has reasons for emigrating. She wants to find Marius. She does not want him to die thinking that she does not love him. She says he drove him away. Valjean asks if she is sure of her feelings, and she says yes. She loves him above all. He says all right; he will go. They embrace, and he tells her to stay there. He gives her a letter and tells her to read it if he does not return.
Marius is writing at a table, and several men come in. He says he just got there, and they tell him to wake up. They are going to man the barricades. People bring furniture and cobblestones to make a pile in the street. A man takes sheets to use for the wounded. Others are melting lead to make bullets for the muskets. Two boys says they can use the omnibus, and they run to it and take it over. They make everyone get off and remove the horses. They pull the wagon while others push. They take it to the barricade and then push it over on its side. A woman says she knows the password is "insurgency," but a man says no women are allowed. On top of the barricade they raise the tricolor flag. Rubble stones are passed and used to build the barricade.
Marius is sitting at a table and is called a loafer. A leader Enjolras (Robert Vidalin) talks to him, and Marius says his life is his, and he will prove it. They shake hands.
Men pass out cartridges, and one says they are not to shoot until Enjolras gives the word. Enjolras tells the boy to be a scout and let them know when they are coming.
Government officials discuss the situation and the insurgency zone. Four barricades are important. Troops will surround all of them in thirty minutes. He wants a blackout by 9, and at 10:30 they will launch a coordinated attack on the four points. He says by midnight order should be restored.
At night men wait on and behind the barricades. The boy Gavroche (Emile Genevois) gives the signal and comes back to the barricade. They hear the sound of troops marching. They ask who is there, and a man on the barricade answers, "The French Revolution." Shots are fired, and the flag falls. A man tells them to save their ammunition. Enjolras asks who will raise the flag. Pop Mabeuf takes it and puts it up; but he is shot dead. They carry his body down and put it on a stretcher. They see troops coming and start firing. The soldiers attack the barricade. Enjolras says they are coming around the side. A man brings a barrel of powder and tells them to get back before he blows up the barricade. The soldiers retreat as shooting continues. The boy warns them that Javert may be a snitch. They are running out of ammunition. Enjolras questions him, and Javert gives his name. Enjolras orders him tied up. The boy takes a basket and gathers bullets from dead soldiers in the street. The soldiers watch him and then start shooting at him. He sings a song about Voltaire and Rousseau. Finally the boy is hit, and he cries. He sings and is shot again. Marius and another man run forward and carry the boy and the basket back to the barricade. He is laid with the dead and covered with a blanket.
The soldiers set up cannons. On the barricade a man says the artillery officers could be their brothers. Enjolras warns them they will attack after the first cannon is shot. The soldiers charge and fight at the barricade. Then the soldiers retreat. The revolutionaries shoot at spies signaling from a roof. Valjean picks up a wounded man and carries him in the building. Marius has found that Eponine is wounded and talks to her. Valjean listens to the heart of a wounded man. He gets up and talks to tied-up Javert who says he can rest easy now. He says Valjean will probably be the one who executes him, and he agrees. Eponine tells Marius that he is there because of her. She wanted to die before him. She had kept his letter and did not want him to get it. She asks if they will meet again and tells him to take his letter. He finds it. She asks him to promise her that he will kiss her forehead when she is dead. She says she was a bit in love with him. She dies, and he closes her eyes and kisses her on the forehead. He reads the letter from Cosette that says she loves him. Valjean asks him if it is good news. Valjean says she sent him to Marius.
Four soldiers march forward with a white flag. They tell them that their sacrifice is in vain and that they should surrender. Enjolras says they will fight for liberty and will die so that their brothers will be free. They sing, and he holds up a flag. Marius looks at Valjean and goes to join them. The four soldiers turn and march back. Enjolras orders ten men to go with Grantaire (Paul Azais). He asks who will finish off the informer, and Valjean volunteers.
He goes inside to Valjean and unties him.
Enjolras speaks to them and tells them to fire at his signal. Then he will blow up the barricade.
Valjean makes Javert walk with his ankles and hands tied. Valjean takes out a knife, and Javert says it will be a convict method. Valjean cuts the rope from his feet and hands and tells him he is free. He says if he gets out of this alive, he may arrest him; he will not resist. Javert checks his address, and Valjean lets him go and fires his gun in the air.
The soldiers charge and fight the men. They start shooting from the barricade. Enjolras lights a fire, and the soldiers retreat as the barricade explodes. Enjolras says they served the republic well. The soldiers charge again and cross the barricade. Enjolras tells a soldier to shoot him. Valjean carries Marius. A man joins Enjolras, and the firing squad shoots them.
Valjean carries Marius in the street. Javert sees him and follows. Valjean opens a metal grid and climbs down a ladder into the sewer. Then he closes the grid. Javert looks around and notices the grid.
At dawn Valjean is carrying the body in the sewer. He comes to bars. By the river Javert is waiting with two coaches. He waits by the bars and a gate. Valjean is looking for a way out. He walks in water that gets deeper. He keeps the head of Marius out of the water. He comes out of the water. He sees bars and light. Outside Javert stands back and hides. Valjean opens the gate and comes out. He puts Marius on the ground and against a wall. Javert steps forward and tells him that two carriages are waiting. He says he can escort the wounded man home, and he will follow him. Valjean asks if he is arresting him, and Javert says no. Valjean says thank you. Valjean puts Marius in a carriage and gets in while Javert gets in the other one.
The two carriages stop, and Valjean carries Marius into the house of his grandfather and puts him on a couch. He tells the butler to tell Gillenormand that Marius was wounded on the barricade. He comes down the stairs in an angry mood and complains that he went off to get killed to spite him. He orders the servant to get a doctor. He thanks Valjean for bringing his grandson and offers him lunch. Valjean sits at a table and writes a letter while Gillenormand talks to his unconscious grandson. Valjean says he will recover and that his happiness depends on him. He tells him to give the letter to Miss Fauchelevent. Valjean says he cannot stay for lunch and goes out.
Valjean tells Javert that he is his prisoner and will not try to escape, but he wants to make another stop. They get in the carriage. Javert asks him why he spared him last night. Valjean asks him why he stalks poor devils. Valjean says they each have their duty. He asks if a wretched man has a right to save him. They get out of the carriage, and Valjean asks him to wait. He goes in a house. Javert pays the driver, who drives off. Javert walks away. He talks to himself about whether he should arrest the convict and bumps into a woman who calls him a snitch. Javert walks on.
A man tells the prefect of police that Javert left a suicide note that he was no longer worthy of being a policeman because he let a convict escape. The prefect says he was a good element.
At a banquet Marius and Josette are celebrating their wedding at a very long table. Gillenormand stands up and makes a toast to beauty, youth, and love. Josette smiles.
Valjean looks at items of clothing.
Gillenormand says he will open the ball with a special dance, and he dances with Cosette. Others join the dance.
Outside servants wait, and Valjean looks up to a window.
In the morning the large room is empty, and Valjean comes in and asks to speak to Gillenormand. Marius comes into the room and calls him father. He says Cosette is still asleep. Valjean says it was best that he not attend his wedding because he did not want to sign anything to render the marriage contract void. He came to tell him that he is an ex-convict. Marius asks what that means, and he says he is a fugitive from justice. Marius asks what he did, and he says he stole a loaf of bread. He asks how he knew Cosette, and he explains that after her mother died, he was able to rescue her from scoundrels. He says Cosette is leaving his life. Marius asks why he is telling him this, and Valjean says it is because of his conscience. He says remaining silent would have been easier. He says he could never break the bonds that kept him there nor could he silence the little voice he hears when he is alone. He says he is leaving him now even though he offered him a place in his family. He has no family and is a convict. He asks if he can say goodbye to Cosette, and she comes in and asks if he is leaving her again. She says she is afraid and asks him to kiss her. Marius says they are still his children and what he said changes nothing. Cosette begs him not to be cruel, and Valjean says that her happiness has been the sole purpose of his life. They hug each other, and she asks what is the matter. He says his wound may have re-opened. He sits down and says he had to say goodbye.
Valjean is lying on a couch under a blanket. He tells them not to cry because dying is nothing. What is terrible is not to have lived or to have taken the wrong path. He asks them to gather around him and tells Cosette that he wants her to have the two silver candlesticks that Monseigneur Myriel gave him. He hopes that the one who gave them to him is satisfied with him. He did the best he could. He is a poor man, and he wants them to bury him in the first plot of earth that they find with no name on the headstone. If Cosette should visit it occasionally, he would be very happy. She asks if he wants a priest, but he says he has one. He tells them to be happy and live in peace. He says God is just; it is man who is sometimes unjust.
This powerful story from the romantic era depicts French society in the era after Napoleon. The drama reflects how punishment can make people worse, but kindness and generosity may inspire them to be better people. The difficulties of poverty can make people desperate and cruel while those with means have the opportunity to help others.

CBD, short for Cannabidiol, is one of the most popular food supplements of our time and for good reason. Thousands of people worldwide enjoy the soothing and relaxing effects of CBD. Derived from the industrial hemp plant, CBD oil offers a wellness boost and calming effect but without a high. Since there are no psychoactive effects, CBD is legal in all states, as well as many countries worldwide, and can be sold outside of medicinal marijuana shops without a problem.
Since not everyone can get their CBD from medicinal marijuana shops, buying hemp oil products from dedicated vendors like us is the safest option. With this CBD eJuice, you can receive the amount of CBD you want through vaping. This product can be used as an additive, so you can enjoy both the flavor of your favorite vape liquid and the enjoyable effects of CBD eJuice in one session.
What is CBDFx Hemp CBD eJuice?
CBD eJuice contains the highest-quality hemp oil, derived from the industrial hemp plant, which has been used since ancient times for its oil and fiber. Rich in CBD, hemp oil can be easily added to foods and vaping liquids. Since the seeds of the hemp plant do not contain enough THC (the psychoactive substance in marijuana), hemp oil is legal in all states and does not need a medical justification to be consumed.
CBDFx eJuice is one of the richest in CBD in the market, as it contains high-grade 60 mg per full dropper (or 300mg if you buy the stronger version). By adding two droppers to 1ml of your favorite eJuice, you receive a substantial amount of CBD. Combine with your favorite flavor and enjoy a relaxing vaping session.
Just think about those tough days at work and the times when responsibilities and chores are keeping you tired and tense. With a calming vaping session of CBD, you can ease out of modern life's everyday tiredness and improve your overall feeling of wellness naturally. CBD is the perfect solution to get you relaxed and calm in the evening, so you can tackle life with more energy the next day.
Why Choose CBDFx Hemp CBD eJuice?
Ensuring that a product like our CBDFx eJuice contains exactly the amount of CBD you want is a difficult process as well. We sell only products that have been standardized for a specific amount of CBD, to ensure that you always get what you are paying for.
How to Use CBDFx Hemp CBD eJuice?
Using CBD eJuice is quite simple. First you need a good-quality vape pen (like our G1 Vaporizer) that can receive oils (typical or cheap vape pens may not give you a satisfactory vaping experience and often break down quickly). Find a good vape pen that takes oils and choose a vape juice of your liking. There are hundreds of tasty eJuice flavors out there, such as citrus, fruit, chocolate, and more exotic choices.
Take 1ml of your favorite eJuice.
Combine it with two full droppers of CBD eJuice.
Place the canister back into your vape pen.
If you are new to CBD, start with a smaller serving of CBD eJuice and slowly work yourself up to the serving size that gives you the best results. If you have any adverse effects, simply stop using CBD immediately without a problem. CBD is a harmless substance with no serious side effects.
You can choose between the 60mg, 120mg or 300mg of high-grade CBD content in your eJuice.
There are no heavy metals, alcohol, or unhealthy additives in this product.
Warning: This is a potent CBD product. If you are pregnant, lactating, or suffering from a serious illness, ask your healthcare professional before taking any supplement. Vaping should be avoided during pregnancy.

The photo of the lady says it too, so it is officially here. My photo did not do justice to the display. If you look closely, she has coils of springs for hair, multi-colored coils, I might add. Her sign says Spring is in the hair. She was hilarious and she made us laugh. She was on display this week end at the Kanapaha Botanical Gardens located in Gainesville, Florida.
This slaw is easy, and is full of those great Indian Spices. The spices are warmed, then the slaw is sauteed. You can adjust the "heat" of the dish by upping the ante on the Jalapeno, if you are looking for a firey dish. This one can be served hot, at room temperature or cold. By the way, Gelskitchen is showcasing quickly prepared recipes this month, appropriately labled No Time To Cook. Check it out.
1. Toast the cumin seeds in a small dry skillet over high heat.
like me, you'll have a coffee grinder that's easy to clean.
I love coleslaw and Indian spices! Together? Well, that sounds just great. And totally refreshing.

Landscapes 101: Get briefed on our planet's ecosystems
All you need to know about peatlands, rangelands and more

Scientists say that restoring the world's forests by planting a trillion trees is by far the most promising – and cost-effective – means of tackling climate change. Beyond sequestering carbon, these trees can stand guard against extreme weather events; protect endangered species; and bring shelter, food, money and cultural preservation to communities around the world.
Yet forests aren't the only ecosystems we stand to benefit from properly protecting and restoring to full health. More than 40 percent of the value of the world's ecosystems are contained in wetlands; and Arctic peatlands, which make up some 30 percent of the Earth's land surface, store 8 percent of all below-ground carbon. Three billion people depend on ocean life for their livelihoods, while 2 billion live in drylands suffering from water scarcity.
But wait… What exactly are drylands and peatlands? What role do mountains play in the water that comes out of our faucets? Is agriculture really destroying its own soil? As ecosystems and their well-being continue to gain ground in the media as our most important soldiers against the climate crisis, it's important to first pause to understand what the planet's different landscapes are and what each offers.
Here, Landscape News brings you a series of short illustrated explainers on each of the world's most important landscapes, the challenges they face and why they matter. Read the 'fast facts' series below.

Kairos-Milwaukie United Church of Christ - Just To Be Is A Blessing.
The other night as David and I sat by the fireplace enjoying the first fire of the season I was forced to admit to myself that all the long sunny days of September and October did not in fact mean that summer had never really ended. Now the clocks have been turned back, making it impossible to ignore the way dusk has been creeping toward late afternoon, falling earlier and earlier each day.
I have trouble welcoming the shorter, darker days of late autumn and early winter here in Oregon. When the rain begins, and the soft gray skies speak only of sameness, a certain light turns off in my brain and saps me of energy and creativity and hope. But this year's extra weeks of sunshine have given me some time to prepare. Yes! I do have a full spectrum light. Yes! I do make myself go outside for a short walk in natural light every day. Yes! I DO have Vivaldi and Mozart cued up and ready to go on my phone.
cold wind, or the tawny hue of a winter landscape.
That kind of thankfulness requires only that we pay attention and allow ourselves to be present both as participant in life and witness to the lives around us. Steeped in gratitude and aware that there is some divine grace at work that has brought us to this day, to this moment, my hope is renewed.
As that first fire of the season becomes a weekly or even daily pleasure, my reading will turn to works of hope. Next up: DeRay McKesson's "On the Other Side of Freedom: The Case for Hope," and Ann Lamott's "Almost Everything: Notes on Hope." What will you be reading as the days grow short? For what are you giving thanks this season?


What do the results of the test tell the researchers? Consumers that score high on the affect intensity scale are looking for strong sensations. Thus, they will especially appreciate products that are highly stimulating, for example, products with complex textures and new flavours. Lise Dreyfuss emphasizes: "The tests offer an extra module that can be plugged in to the traditional product testing in order to highlight psychological drivers of liking and choice. The tests can also be used as a screening tool for focus groups by detecting consumers with specific psychological dispositions.
