This item may be Check for Availability This title in other editionsThe Singularity Is Near: When Humans Transcend Biology
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:For over three decades, the great inventor and futurist Ray Kurzweil has been one of the most respected and provocative advocates of the role of technology in our future. In his classic The Age of Spiritual Machines, he argued that computers would soon rival the full range of human intelligence at its best. Now he examines the next step in this inexorable evolutionary process: the union of human and machine, in which the knowledge and skills embedded in our brains will be combined with the vastly greater capacity, speed, and knowledge-sharing ability of our creations.
That merging is the essence of the Singularity, an era in which our intelligence will become increasingly nonbiological and trillions of times more powerful than it is today—the dawning of a new civilization that will enable us to transcend our biological limitations and amplify our creativity. In this new world, there will be no clear distinction between human and machine, real reality and virtual reality. While the social and philosophical ramifications of these changes will be profound, and the threats they pose considerable, The Singularity Is Near maintains a radically optimistic view of the future course of human development. As such, it offers a view of the coming age that is both a dramatic culmination of centuries of technological ingenuity and a genuinely inspiring vision of our ultimate destiny. Synopsis:A radical and optimistic view of the future course of human development from Ray Kurzweil, whom Bill Gates calls "the best person I know at predicting the future of artificial intelligence."
About the AuthorRay Kurzweil is one of the world's leading inventors, thinkers, and futurists, with a twenty-year track record of accurate predictions. The recipient of awards including the 1999 National Medal of Technology and the MIT-Lemelson Prize, the world's largest award for innovation, he graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and has received nineteen honorary doctorates and honors from three United States presidents. Ray's previous books include The Age of Spiritual Machines, The 10% Solution for a Healthy Life, Fantastic Voyage: Live Long Enough to Live Forever, and The Age of Intelligent Machines. George K.

The invention is illustrated in the drawings of which: FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a supervisory unit for a mobile Radiotdephone equipment has been provided to permit 5 telephone system incorporating the features of this invention; communication over regular telephone circuits with persons at remote points or in moving vehicles. In order to increase the flexibility of such equipment, provision has been made for operation of the equipment in a completely automatic manner so that the operator at the remote station need merely lift his handset and dial the desired number. In present automatic telephone systems a plurality of channels are provided which are accessible to each of the remote stations. The remote stations monitor a single channel which is designated by an idle tone transmitted from the base station. When a channel is in use, the idle tone is shifted to another channel and all of the transmitters and receivers which are not currently being used at the remote stations shift to the new channel designated by the idle tone. This continues until all of the channels available are in use. Thus any of the remote stations can use any of the available channels to permita greater flexibility than would be possible if each station were assigned to a particular channel. The remote station equipment thus must be able to detect the designated idle channel, receive and transmit information concerning the telephone numbers which are to be contacted, and recognize its own telephone number and provide the proper signals in response to the received and transmitted information Electronic systems have been devised for carrying out these functions, however, present systems are implemented with discrete components. While the use of solid state devices, such as transistors, has permitted a reduction in size and power consumption of the present telephone system so that it may be carried in an automobile, it is desirable to further decrease the size of the equipment, increase its reliability and decrease the cost of manufacture. To accomplish this it is desirable to be able to use integrated circuits in place of the discrete components. Integrated circuit structure, particularly in the present state of the art consists mainly of digital circuits as analogue circuits are more difiicult to manufacture. Further, digital circuitry provides a more precisely controlled system for better operation under adverse conditions. By using integrated circuits which are readily available, the cost of manufacture can be reduced since the number of components which are assembled and soldered can be reduced by a factor of four or five times. Also, increased use of mobile telephone service will permit the design of special integrated circuits in which large portions of the digital circuitry can be incorporated on a single integrated circuit chip, further reducing the cost of manufacture and size of the unit. SUMMARY It is, therefore, an object of this invention to provide an improved mobile telephone system which is readily adaptable for manufacture with integrated circuits. Another object of this invention is to provide a mobile telephone system in which the timing functions can be carried out by digital-type circuits requiring a minimum number of capacitive and inductive components for their operation. Another object of this invention is to provide an improved mobile telephone circuit system in which a plurality of tones generated by the system are derived from a single highly accurate oscillator. In practicing this invention a mobile telephone system is provided which is capable of assuming a plurality of states. During each of the-states separate operations are carried out by the system. The system transfers from one state to another in response to timing pulses and/or signals internally generated by the mobile .telephone system and/or signals received from outside of the system. A single stable relatively high-frequency oscillator is used to generate an accurate signal which is divided down in frequency to develop the required output tone signals. A single timing oscillator FIG. 2 is a sequence diagram showing the operation of the system when receiving a call from the base station; FIG. 3 is a sequence diagram showing the operation of the system when placing a call from the mobile system to a base station; and 4 FIGS. 4 to 13 are logic diagrams showing the circuits of the blocks to FIG. 1. 5 DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The supervisory system of the invention is used with twoway radio equipment to permit automatic dial operation from a mobile station to a base station and from the base station to the mobile station. The mobile receiver is represented in FIG. 1 by block 17 and the mobile transmitter is represented by block 18. Transmitter l8 and receiver 17 are coupled to supervisory unit 15 and control head 19 through interface unit 20. Signals received by receiver 17 are in the form of tones modulating a carrier signal or voice transmission. Transmitter 18 transmits voice signals or tones generated by the supervisory unit 15. The system described is a multichannel system and may, for example, have 10 channels. The tones used by these systems may consist of idle and seize tones transmitted by the base station, and disconnect, connect and guard tones transmitted by the mobile station. The radio system is a multichannel system with the mobile receiver being adapted to receive signals on a plurality of radio frequencies and the mobile transmitter being adapted to transmit signals on a plurality of radio frequencies. The base station transmitter applies a tone called the idle tone to mark one channel of the multichannel system. All receivers and transmitters in the system which are not being used for communication or signaling are tuned to this channel. When a receiver is not receiving the idle tone and is not being used for communication or signaling, the receiver searches through the channels for the idle tone. When the idle tone is received on one channel, the signal is applied to the receiver to stop the channel hunting action so that the receiver remains latched to the channel on which the idle tone is applied. BASE STATION TO MOBILE CALL In FIG. 2 a sequence chart for a base station to mobile call is shown. The operation of the system will be described referring to both FIGS. 1 and 2 interchangeably. The unit is initially in STATE 1 and is locked on the channel on which the continuous idle tone is received. Channel latch 41 has a latch output which causes the output logic circuit 44 to removed the search output and prevents the radio equipment from sequencing to the next channel. Pulse counter 24 and digit counter 29 are held in their reset position in STATE 1. Also FFA 33, FFB 34 and FFC 35 are in their reset position. FFA 33, FFB 34 and FFC 35 are flip-flop or bistable circuits which have set and reset positions, and flip-flops A, B and C and are the primary circuits for determining the STATE in which the supervisory system is placed at any particular time. When the idle tone is removed and a seize tone is received (start of base to mobile call) state input logic 30 sets FFB 34 and the unit goes to STATE 2. In state 2 the supervisory system is conditioned to receive call signaling from the base station. For every transition from a seize tone to an idle tone, input logic circuit 23 provides a pulse counter clock pulse which is coupled to pulse counter 24 to advance the pulse counter. The pulse counter clock pulse is also coupled to system counter logic circuit 38 to reset the system counter. During the interval between digits the system counter is allowed to count up to 200 ms. to check for the proper digit, reset pulse counter 24, and advance digit counter 29 if the received digit is correct. Digit counter 29 advances one step for each digit which is received and counter 29 is connected through code board 27 to the correct stage of pulse counter 24 for each digit of the telephone number. As shown in FIG. 2, at the end of the first digit a 300 ms. pause occurs during which no pulse counter pulses are received by pulse counter 24. At the end of a 200 ms. period a signal from system counter 40 causes digit counter 29 to check for the proper digit. If the received digit is correct digit counter 29 is advanced to the next digit and pulse counter 24 is reset. If the number of pulses received for a particular digit is not correct, digit counter 29 provides a mismatch signal which resets channel latch 41 to place the system in STATE 8. STATE 8 will be described in a subsequent portion of the specification. When all seven digits (the normal number of digits in a telephone number) are correctly decoded, digit counter 29 provides a match output which is coupled to state input logic 30 and state output logic 32 to place the system in STATE 3. In STATE 3 an acknowledge signal, consisting of a tone called a guard tone, is transmitted to the base station for 750 ms. The guard tone is provided from oscillator 47 and oscillator logic 46. The output of oscillator 47 may be, for example, an 81.6 kHz. signal which is divided by 33, 50, or 61 to provide the 2150 Hz guard tone, the 1633 Hz connect tone, or the 1336 Hz disconnect tone. By using a single oscillator at a relatively high frequency and dividing down, it is possible to provide very accurate tone frequencies which can be easily crystal controlled. Previous systems use separate oscillators for each of the tone frequencies with the oscillators generating the tone frequency directly. It is difficult to provide inexpensive oscillators which are stable and accurate at the low tone frequencies so that the use of the single oscillator with a dividing circuit provides increased accuracy and reliability at less cost. At the end of the 750 ms. transmission period the guard tone stops, FFA 33 is set, which in turn resets FEB 34, and the system is placed in STATE 4. In STATE 4 system counter 40 is initially set to 150 ms. and the counter is inhibited. When an idle tone is received the counter is reset by the pulse counter clock pulses to remove the inhibit signal. The inhibit signal is applied to control head 19 through output logic 44 and interface unit 20 and is used to gate off the ring signal. Thus when the inhibit signal is removed a ring signal will be developed by output logic 44 and coupled to control head 19 through'interface unit 20. When a pulse counterclock pulse does not occur for 150 ms. the inhibit signal will be provided to stop the counter and remove the ring signal. STATE 4 continues until the subscriber lifts the handset on the control head 19 to answer the call or the base station stops transmitting the ring signal. When the subscriber lifts the handset on control head 19 to answer the call, a hook switch signal is sent to state input logic 30 to set FFC to advance the unit to STATE 5. In STATE 5 a connect signal generated by oscillator 47 and oscillator logic 46, as previously described, is transmitted to the base station for 400 ms. System counter and system counter logic 38 are used to count the 400 ms. during which the connect signal from oscillator logic 46 is enabled. At the end of 400 ms. FEB 34 is again set to put the system in STATE 6 and an inhibit signal is provided to system counter logic 38 to stop the counting action of system counter 40. With the system in STATE 6 the output logic circuit 44 provides handset enable and transmit signals to control head 19 and transmitter 18 respectively to allow the subscriber to converse with the calling party. STATE 6 lasts as long as the parties continue the call. When the subscriber hangs up, the hook switch signal is removed to cause state input logic 30 to reset FEB 34 and FFC 35 to place the system in STATE 7. When FFC 35 is reset state output logic 30 also resets pulse counter 24, digit counter 29 and system counter 40 to remove the match signal. In STATE 7 a disconnect signal is transmitted to the base station. The disconnect signal consists of alternate 25 ms. tone bursts of disconnect and guard tones which lasts for 750 ms. With the system in STATE 7, a transmit signal continues to be provided by output logic 44 to enable transmitter 18. At the end of the 750 ms. period the transmit signal is removed from transmitter 18 and FFA 33 is reset to place the system in STATE 8. In state 8 channel latch 41 is initially in the reset condition. The absence of a latch signal from channel latch 41 in STATE 8 enables output logic circuit 44 to provide a search signal which is coupled to transmitter 18 and receiver 17 through interface unit 20. The search signal causes the transmitter and receiver to sequence through the channels in search of a new channel with a continuous idle tone. When 137.5 ms. of continuous idle tone is received, channel latch circuit 41 will provide a latch signal to place the system in STATE 1 again. MOBILE TO BASE CALL AUTOMATIC OPERATION Referring to FIG. 3 there is shown a sequence diagram illustrating the operation of the mobile supervisory unit when making a mobile to base station call. Initially, the supervisory unit is locked on the channel on which the continuous idle tone is received. This condition is STATE 1 as previously described. When the subscriber removes the handset from the cradle a hook switch signal sets FFC 35 to place the unit in STATE 9. i In STATE 9 a guard tone is transmitted to the base station for 350 ms. System counter 40 is used to count the 350 ms. period during which the guard tone from oscillator 47 and oscillator logic circuit 46 is enabled. During STATE 9 output logic circuit 44 provides a transmit signal to transmitter 18. When the system counter reaches a count of 350 ms., the unit is in STATE 10. In STATE 10 the guard tone is stopped and the connect tone is transmitted for 50 ms. The 50 ms. period is timed by system counter 40 continuing its count up to 400 ms. When system counter 40 reaches a count of 400 ms., F FA 33 is set to place the unit in STATE 11. In STATE 11 system counter 40 is initially set to 400 ms. and an inhibit signal prevents it from counting further. Oscillator logic circuit 46 and oscillator 47 provide a guard tone and output logic circuit 44 continues to provide a transmit signal. When a seize tone is received from the base station, system counter 40 is reset to remove the inhibit signal. While a seize tone is being received in this STATE system counter 40 is held reset. When the seize tone is removed and when the counter reaches a count of 200 milliseconds the state input logic circuit 30 sets FFB 34 to place the unit in STATE 12. In STATE 12 the mobile station identification signal is transmitted to the base station. System counter 40 is initially held reset by the PCo signal from the pulse counter 24. An astable signal from channel latch 41 is used to generate clock pulses for advancing pulse counter 24 until the count for the first digit is reached. At this time digit counter 29 provides a SEMI (semimatched) signal which is used in channel latch circuit 41 to inhibit the channel latch signal which generates the astable clock pulses. When the PCo signal is removed by the first pulse counter clock pulse, the inhibit on system counter 40 was also removed. However, system counter 40 is still reset with every pulse counter clock pulse. With the astable flip-flop inhibited system counter 40 is allowed to count up to 200 ms., advance digit counter 29 and reset pulse counter 24. System counter 40 is then inhibited by the PCo signal and the removal of the SEMI signal enables the astable flip-flop. Astable and parity signals from channel latch 41 are used to gate the connect and guard tones from oscillator 47 and oscillator logic 46. This action continues until the seventh digit is transmitted and a MATCl-I signal provided to put the system in STATE 6. The operation is then identical to the operation following STATE 6 of the base to mobile sequence previously described except that a number must be dialed by the subscriber to initiate the call. A dial tone is transmitted by the base station and when the subscriber dials the number, the dial off normal contacts and the dial pulse signals are used by the oscillator circuits to enable the connect and guard tones. The dial off normal signal is used by output logic 44 to remove the handset enable signal when the dial off normal signal is present. After dialing the conversation, which occurs during STATE 6, the mobile subscriber hangs up setting the supervisory unit to STATE 7. In STATE 7 alternate ms. disconnect and guard pulses are transmitted, as previously described, for 750 ms., at the end of which time the transmitter 18 is turned off and the supervisory unit switches to STATE 3. During STATE 3 supervisory unit 15 sends a search signal to transmitter 18 and receiver 19 to sequence receiver 19 and transmitter 18 through all of the channels until a channel is found carrying an idle tone. Upon receipt of the idle tone the system switches to STATE I as previously described. MANUAL MODE OF OPERATION In the manual mode of operation FFA 33 is held reset and FEB 34 is clamped set. Thus A STATE 2 signal is always present which enables pulse counter 24 and digit counter 29 so that signaling from the base station is always accepted. When a MATCH condition is reached, A STATE 4 signal is also provided to enable the ring output. STATE 6 and STATE 10 will also have an output in the manual mode but they will not affect the operation of the unit. CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION In FIG. 4 there is shown the designations given the various logic blocks in FIGS. 5-13. Block 49 represents a NAND gate, block 50 represents NOR gate, block 51 represents an inverter and block 52 a J-K flip-flop. In FIG. 5 there is shown the logic diagram for state input logic and FFA 33, FFB 34, and FFC of FIG. 1 and in FIG. 6 there is shown the logic diagram for state output logic 37. The outputs of FF A 33, F F B 34, FFC 35 and the state out put logic 37 together with the match signal of digit counter 29, the latch signal from channel latch 41 and the condition of the system counter logic 38 determines which of the 12 STATES the system is in. FFA 33 can be set by outputs from AND gates 54 or 55. Gate 54 will have an output when system counter 38 reaches a count of 146.875 milliseconds and a MATCl-I condition exists. Gate 55 will have an output when F FC 35 is set and a count of 400 ms. is reached by system counter 40. FFA is thus set by gate 55 at the end of STATE 110. Gate 55 is also used to inhibit system counter when this condition exists during STATES 6 and 11. F FA 33 is reset by the F34 and power reset signals and is clamped reset in the manual mode of operation. FF B 34 is set by the output of AND gates 56 and 57, and OR gate 53. Gate 56 sets FEB 34 at the end of STATE 5 when a count of 400 milliseconds is reached by system counter 40 while a MATCH condition exists. Gate 57 sets FEB 34 at the beginning of STATE 2 when FFA 33 and FFC 35 are both reset and a seize signal is received. FEB 34 is reset by the F34 and power reset signals and when FFA 33 is set while FFC 35 is reset which causes NAND gate 60 to have an output' FFC 35 is an interface between the hook switch and the state output logic 37. It is set by NAND gate 61 which has an output when the HKS Schmitt signal (generated in the interface unit 20 of FIG. 1) goes positive while NOR gate 62 has an output. This occurs during STATES l and 4 or in the manual mode when the push-to-talk button is depressed after the handset is removed. FFC 35 is clamped reset when the I-IKS Schmitt signal goes positive. It is also reset by the power reset signal and by NAND gates 63 and 65. NAND gate 63 will have an output at the end of STATE 9 if an idle tone is not present, and NAND gate 65 will have an output at the end of state 11) if the idle tone is present. In FIG 6 there is shown the state output logic 32 of FIG. 11. The circled numbers at the output represent the STATE output signals which indicate which STATE the system is in. The gate for STATE 5 also has an output during STATE 4 but it is only used to change the frequency of the output tone and the transmitter is not on during STATE 4. The circuits associated with outputs Y and Z generate narrow positive pulses when FFC 35 is reset and set respectively. In FIG. 7 there is shown a logic diagram for the system counter logic 38 and system counter 40. Timing pulses for the counter are received from oscillator 43 in FIG. 1. Oscillator 43 may be an astable oscillator developing pulses having a period of, for example, 6.250 milliseconds. By proper connections to the astable oscillator 43 6.250 millisecond timing pulses are coupled to lines 71 and 72. 3.125 millisecond pulses can also be derived from the astable oscillator and coupled to line 70. The J-K flip-flops shown in the logic diagram FIG. 7 are connected to perform a toggle operation with a maximum count of 800 milliseconds. They are used to provide the following time intervals for the system. 200 millisecond interdigit time 750 millisecond acknowledge interval 400 millisecond connect interval 350 millisecond connect delay 50 millisecond connect 750 millisecond disconnect interval The J-K flip-flops 74-79 together with AND gates -83 act as a binary counter to develop the various time intervals required by the system. The counter is reset at the beginning of a time interval and allowed to count up to the desired time interval by taking the output from the proper terminal. By this means the timing circuitry uses a single reference element which can be made very stable. The timing circuitry also uses digital counting type circuitry which is especially adapted to be implemented by integrated circuits and does not require the inductors and capacitors normally required by oscillator timing circuits. Input logic circuit 23 is shown in FIG. 8. It acts to develop the pulse counter clock pulses. Input logic circuit 23 also provides manual signals and power reset signals to the system as well as the seize and idle signals. In FIG. 9 there is shown pulse counter 24 of FIG. 1. The pulse counter consists primarily of J --K flip-flops set for shift operation to count incoming pulses and to develop an output on the line corresponding to the number of input pulses received. FIG. 9 also includes the pulse counter logic 26 of FIG. 1. The 11 stage counter develops an output from only one of the II outputs shown at any one time. In FIG. 10 there is shown the digit counter 29 of FIG. 1. The digit counter includes a three stage counter to tally the number of digits that have been transmitted or received. Seven 4 input NAND gates compare the number in the pulse counter with the proper code to produce the MATCH, MISMATCH and SEMI (semimatch) signals. In FIG; 11 there is shown the channel latch circuit 41 of FIG. 1. Channel latch 41 is basically an up-d0wn counter driven by a square wave with a period of 6.25 milliseconds. The square wave is derived from oscillator 43 which develops an output signal having a frequency of Hz. The condition of flip-flop 68 determines whether the counter will count up or down. Flip-flop 68 is triggered when the 3.125 millisecond output of inverter 69 has a negative transition and is controlled by the NOR gate 71. Oscillator logic 46 is shown in FIG. 12. The input to oscillator logic circuit 46 is an 81.6 kHz. signal which is divided down to develop approximately the 2147 Hz., 1632 Hz and 1338 Hz tones required for signalling to the base station. This is accomplished by dividing the output of the 81.6 kHz. oscillator by 38, 50 and 61 respectively. The output logic 44 of FIG. 1 is shown in FIG. 13. The output logic circuits shown in FIG. 13 provide part of the logic required for output signals of the system. Examples of these signals are HANDSET ENA- BLE, TONES, TRANSMIT, SEARCH and RING signals. An F34 signal is also provided which is used by other portions of the supervisory unit for control. Thus a supervisory system for a mobile radiotclephone has been described. The system, including the timing circuits, uses digital type logic circuitry which is especially adapted to be implemented by integrated circuits. The use of integrated circuits permits a decrease in the size, cost and complexity of the unit. Since the telephone system is designed to be carried in vehicles, the reduction in size and complexity is especially important. lclaim: 1.

It is almost two years since the announcement was made, but it is still worthy of note that Inverness Medical Inc. has put an Early Rapid Test for Dengue Fever on the market to help physicians diagnose Dengue from the very first day it shows up in the bloodstream. As a matter of fact, the three-part test purports to facilitate a specific diagnosis of Dengue in 15 minutes thereby shortening the response time for patient therapy and monitoring to begin.
The Panbio Dengue Early Rapid Test was developed, not as a standalone diagnostic tool by any means. Rather, it acts as a cross-reference for other existing serology tests.
The Panbio test gives physicians the added advantage of reducing the risk of severe complications of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) and Dengue Shock Syndrome (DSS) in patients for whom this is a second or subsequent Dengue infection. Now, that can be fatal if not identified and treated early.

Back to School on a Budget
Who is ready for back to school?
Ugh. Not me. I am sad beyond sad that we only have 5 weeks left of summer break. We're more than halfway there! There is one thing my family loves about going back to school (well, 2 things, actually). 1, it's fun to see friends again and good for all of us to get back on a schedule. 2, we get to go back-to-school shopping!
If you're like me, you've got a very specific budget. We are being extra frugal this year, and a lot of our back-to-school excursions will be to yard sales and thrift stores. The kids like having new stuff too, though (who doesn't?) and so I've been browsin' the web, looking for some fun, frugal stuff:

Sir Tom Stoppard OM CBE FRSL (born Tomáš Straussler; 3 July 1937) is a Czech-born British playwright, knighted in 1997.[1] He has written prolifically for TV, radio, film and stage, finding prominence with plays such as Arcadia, The Coast of Utopia, Every Good Boy Deserves Favour, Professional Foul, The Real Thing, and Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead. He co-wrote the screenplays for Brazil, The Russia House, and Shakespeare in Love, and has received one Academy Award and four Tony Awards.[2] Themes of human rights, censorship and political freedom pervade his work along with exploration of linguistics and philosophy. Stoppard has been a key playwright of the National Theatre and is one of the most internationally performed dramatists of his generation.[3]
In 1939, Stoppard left Czechoslovakia as a child refugee, fleeing imminent Nazi occupation. He settled with his family in Britain after the war, in 1946. After being educated at schools in Nottingham and Yorkshire, Stoppard became a journalist, a drama critic and then, in 1960, a playwright. He has been married three times, to Josie Ingle (m. 1965), then Miriam Stoppard (m. 1972), and Sabrina Guinness (m. 2014).
Stoppard was born Tomáš Straussler, in Zlín, a "Shoe Town", in the Moravia region of Czechoslovakia. He was the son of Martha Bečkova and Eugen Straussler, a doctor with the Bata shoe company. Both of his parents were non observant Jews.[4] Just before the German occupation of Czechoslovakia, the town's patron, Jan Antonín Baťa, helped re-post his Jewish employees, mostly physicians, to various branches of his firm all over the world.[5][6] On 15 March 1939, the day that the Nazis invaded Czechoslovakia, the Straussler family fled to Singapore, one of the places Bata had a company.
Before the Japanese occupation of Singapore, the two sons and their mother were sent on to Australia. Stoppard's father remained in Singapore as a British army volunteer, knowing that, as a doctor, he would be needed in its defence.[4] His father died when Stoppard was four years old.[7] In the book Tom Stoppard in conversation, Stoppard tells how his father died in Japanese captivity, a prisoner of war[8][9] although Straussler is also commonly reported to have drowned on board a ship bombed by Japanese forces.[4]
From there, in 1941, when Tomas was five, the three were evacuated to Darjeeling in India. The boys attended Mount Hermon School, an American multi-racial school,[8] where Tomas became Tom and his brother Petr became Peter.
In 1945, his mother Martha married British army major Kenneth Stoppard, who gave the boys his English surname and, in 1946, after the war, moved the family to England.[1] His stepfather believed strongly that "to be born an Englishman was to have drawn first prize in the lottery of life" – a quote from Cecil Rhodes – telling his small stepson: "Don't you realise that I made you British?"[10] setting up Stoppard's desire as a child to become "an honorary Englishman". "I fairly often find I'm with people who forget I don't quite belong in the world we're in", he says. "I find I put a foot wrong – it could be pronunciation, an arcane bit of English history – and suddenly I'm there naked, as someone with a pass, a press ticket." This is reflected in his characters, he notes, who are "constantly being addressed by the wrong name, with jokes and false trails to do with the confusion of having two names".[10] Stoppard attended the Dolphin School in Nottinghamshire, and later completed his education at Pocklington School in East Riding, Yorkshire, which he hated.[9]
Stoppard left school at seventeen and began work as a journalist for the Western Daily Press in Bristol, never receiving a university education, having taken against the idea.[9] Years later he came to regret not going to university, but at the time he loved his work as a journalist and felt passionately about his career.[9] He remained at the paper from 1954 until 1958, when the Bristol Evening World offered Stoppard the position of feature writer, humour columnist, and secondary drama critic, which took Stoppard into the world of theatre. At the Bristol Old Vic – at the time a well-regarded regional repertory company – Stoppard formed friendships with director John Boorman and actor Peter O'Toole early in their careers. In Bristol, he became known more for his strained attempts at humour and unstylish clothes than for his writing.[1]
Stoppard wrote short radio plays in 1953-4 and by 1960 he had completed his first stage play, A Walk on the Water, which was later re-titled Enter a Free Man (1968).[9] He noted that the work owed much to Robert Bolt's Flowering Cherry and Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman. Within a week after sending A Walk on the Water to an agent, Stoppard received his version of the "Hollywood-style telegrams that change struggling young artists' lives." His first play was optioned, staged in Hamburg, then broadcast on British Independent Television in 1963.[1] From September 1962 until April 1963, Stoppard worked in London as a drama critic for Scene magazine, writing reviews and interviews both under his name and the pseudonym William Boot (taken from Evelyn Waugh's Scoop). In 1964, a Ford Foundation grant enabled Stoppard to spend 5 months writing in a Berlin mansion, emerging with a one-act play titled Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Meet King Lear, which later evolved into his Tony-winning play Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead.[1] In the following years, Stoppard produced several works for radio, television and the theatre, including "M" is for Moon Among Other Things (1964), A Separate Peace (1966) and If You're Glad I'll Be Frank (1966). On 11 April 1967 — following acclaim at the 1966 Edinburgh Festival — the opening of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead in a National Theatre production at the Old Vic made Stoppard an overnight success. Jumpers (1972) places a professor of moral philosophy in a murder mystery thriller alongside a slew of radical gymnasts and Travesties (1974), explored the 'Wildean' possibilities arising from the fact that Vladimir Lenin, James Joyce, and Tristan Tzara had all been in Zurich during the First World War.[3] In his early years, he also wrote extensively for BBC radio, often introducing surrealist themes. He has also adapted many of his stage works for radio, film and television winning extensive awards and honours from the start of his career. His latest original radio production, Darkside (2013), has been written for BBC Radio 2 to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Pink Floyd's album, The Dark Side of the Moon.[11]
Stoppard has written one novel, Lord Malquist and Mr Moon (1966), set in contemporary London. Its cast includes the 18th-century figure of the dandified Malquist and his ineffectual Boswell, Moon, and also cowboys, a lion (banned from the Ritz) and a donkey-borne Irishman claiming to be the Risen Christ.
In the 1980s, in addition to writing his own works, Stoppard translated many plays into English, including works by Sławomir Mrożek, Johann Nestroy, Arthur Schnitzler, and Václav Havel. It was at this time that Stoppard became influenced by the works of Polish and Czech absurdists. He has been co-opted into the Outrapo group, a far-from-serious French movement to improve actors' stage technique through science.[12]
Stoppard has also co-written screenplays including Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Spielberg states that though Stoppard was uncredited, "he was responsible for almost every line of dialogue in the film".[13] It is also rumoured that Stoppard worked on Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, though again Stoppard received no official or formal credit in this role.[14] He worked in a similar capacity with Tim Burton on his film Sleepy Hollow.[15] In 2008, Stoppard was voted the number 76 on the Time 100, Time magazine's list of the most influential people in the world.
Stoppard serves on the advisory board of the magazine Standpoint, and was instrumental in its foundation, giving the opening speech at its launch.[16] He is also a patron of the Shakespeare Schools Festival, a charity that enables school children across the UK to perform Shakespeare in professional theatres.[17]
In July 2013 Stoppard was awarded the PEN Pinter Prize for "determination to tell things as they are."[18]
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead (1966–7) was Stoppard's first major play to gain recognition. The story of Hamlet, as told from the viewpoint of two courtiers echoes Beckett in its double act repartee, existential themes and language play.[3] "Stoppardian" became a term describing works using wit and comedy while addressing philosophical concepts.[3][19] Critic Dennis Kennedy notes "It established several characteristics of Stoppard's dramaturgy: his word-playing intellectuality, audacious, paradoxical, and self-conscious theatricality, and preference for reworking pre-existing narratives... Stoppard's plays have been sometimes dismissed as pieces of clever showmanship, lacking in substance, social commitment, or emotional weight. His theatrical surfaces serve to conceal rather than reveal their author's views, and his fondness for towers of paradox spirals away from social comment. This is seen most clearly in his comedies The Real Inspector Hound (1968) and After Magritte (1970), which create their humour through highly formal devices of reframing and juxtaposition."[3] Stoppard himself went so far as to declare "I must stop compromising my plays with this whiff of social application. They must be entirely untouched by any suspicion of usefulness."[1] He acknowledges that he started off "as a language nerd", primarily enjoying linguistic and ideological playfulness, feeling early in his career that journalism was far better suited for presaging political change, than playwriting.[9]
The accusations of favouring intellectuality over political commitment or commentary were met with a change of tack, as Stoppard produced increasingly socially engaged work.[3] From 1977, he became personally involved with human rights issues, in particular with the situation of political dissidents in Central and Eastern Europe. In February 1977, he visited the Soviet Union and several Eastern European countries with a member of Amnesty International.[1] In June, Stoppard met Vladimir Bukovsky in London and travelled to Czechoslovakia (then under communist control), where he met dissident playwright and future president Václav Havel, whose writing he greatly admires.[1][9] Stoppard became involved with Index on Censorship, Amnesty International, and the Committee Against Psychiatric Abuse and wrote various newspaper articles and letters about human rights. He was also instrumental in translating Havel's works into English. Every Good Boy Deserves Favour (1977), 'a play for actors and orchestra' was based on a request by composer André Previn; inspired by a meeting with a Russian exile. This play as well as Dogg's Hamlet, Cahoot's Macbeth (1979), The Coast of Utopia (2002), Rock 'n' Roll (2006), and two works for television Professional Foul (1977) and Squaring the Circle (1984) all concern themes of censorship, rights abuses, and state repression.[3]
Stoppard's later works have sought greater inter-personal depths, whilst maintaining their intellectual playfulness. Stoppard acknowledges that around 1982 he moved away from the "argumentative" works and more towards plays of the heart, as he became "less shy" about emotional openness. Discussing the later integration of heart and mind in his work, he commented "I think I was too concerned when I set off, to have a firework go off every few seconds... I think I was always looking for the entertainer in myself and I seem to be able to entertain through manipulating language... [but] it's really about human beings, it's not really about language at all." The Real Thing (1982) uses a meta-theatrical structure to explore the suffering that adultery can produce and The Invention of Love (1997) also investigates the pain of passion. Arcadia (1993) explores the meeting of chaos theory, historiography, and landscape gardening.[3] He was inspired by a Trevor Nunn production of Gorky's Summerfolk to write a trilogy of "human" plays: The Coast of Utopia (Voyage, Shipwreck, and Salvage, 2002).[9]
Stoppard has commented that he loves the medium of theatre for how 'adjustable' it is at every point, how unfrozen it is, continuously growing and developing through each rehearsal, free from the text. His experience of writing for film is similar, offering the liberating opportunity to 'play God', in control of creative reality. It often takes four to five years from the first idea of a play to staging, taking pains to be as profoundly accurate in his research as he can be.[9]
Stoppard has been married three times. His first marriage was to Josie Ingle (1965[citation needed]–1972), a nurse; his second marriage was to Miriam Stoppard (née Stern, and subsequently Miriam Moore-Robinson, 1972–1992), whom he left to begin a relationship with actress Felicity Kendal.[20][21] He has two sons from each of his first two marriages: Oliver Stoppard, Barnaby Stoppard, the actor Ed Stoppard and Will Stoppard, who is married to violinist Linzi Stoppard.[21] In 2014 he married Sabrina Jane Guinness, daughter of James Edward Alexander Rundell Guinness and his wife Pauline Mander.[22]
Stoppard's mother died in 1996. The family had not talked about their history and neither brother knew what had happened to the family left behind in Czechoslovakia.[23] In the early 1990s, with the fall of communism, Stoppard found out that all four of his grandparents had been Jewish and had died in Terezin, Auschwitz and other camps, along with three of his mother's sisters. In 1998, following the deaths of his parents he returned to Zlín for the first time in over 50 years.[9] He has expressed grief both for a lost father and a missing past, but he has no sense of being a survivor, at whatever remove. "I feel incredibly lucky not to have had to survive or die. It's a conspicuous part of what might be termed a charmed life."[10]
In 1979, the year of Margaret Thatcher's election, Stoppard noted to Paul Delaney: "I'm a conservative with a small c. I am a conservative in politics, literature, education and theatre."[24] In 2007, Stoppard described himself as a "timid libertarian".[25]
The Tom Stoppard Prize (Czech: Cena Toma Stopparda) was created in 1983 under the Charter 77 Foundation and is awarded to authors of Czech origin.[26]
Stoppard, Kevin Spacey, Jude Law, and others, joined protests against the regime of Alexander Lukashenko in March 2011, showing their support for the Belarusian democracy movement.[27]
In 2014, Stoppard publicly backed "Hacked Off" and its campaign towards press self-regulation by "safeguarding the press from political interference while also giving vital protection to the vulnerable."[28]
Stoppard sat for sculptor Alan Thornhill, and a bronze head is now in public collection, situated with the Stoppard papers in the reading room of the Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas at Austin.[29] The terracotta remains in the collection of the artist in London.[30] The correspondence file relating to the Stoppard bust is held in the archive of the Henry Moore Foundation's Henry Moore Institute in Leeds.[31]
