Well maybe stupid people like me like movies better! It hurts when I use my brain!
Seriously, I see what you mean; comics can pull you in deeper than movies sometimes.
On the other hand, sometimes a
really good action scene
in a movie just can't be recreated into any other medium.
A *good* movie still requires a lot of brain power to make sense of what's going on on the screen, identify with the characters and so on, heck even a bad movie needs that really, but comics require brainpower to make the stuff that's happening happen at all. It's the difference between listening to someone tell you a story and reading one in a book. For the former you need to be a normal competent human who speaks the same language as the storyteller, for the latter you have to go to school and learn how to read. Anyone can learn how to read, but not without using their brain.
Man, I totally want to see this movie! Kungfu Hustle, huh? I'll look for it.

Kung Fu Hustle is one of the ultimate action films I've ever seen.
I always thought of Kung Fu Hustle as more of a comedy than an action film (the main character is played by a comedian). Granted, there is a lot of physical humor and many of the jokes were based on old kung fu movies. For hard core kung fu-type action I'd recommend Jet Li's Once Upon a Time in China series.

Oh yeah, Kung Fu Hustle is a SICK action/comedy/drama and touching romance, all in one. I actually saw KFH BEFORE Shaolin Soccer, so it was a real treat to see Chow give a similarly-rewarding treatment to SS.

I thought to myself, "Wow! That's cool!" much more than I thought, "Haha! That's funny!"
Kung Fu Hustle was certainly meant to be a comedy, but I don't think most of the jokes translate very well into English. In fact a good amount of the jokes are probably missed even by Chinese-speakers younger than 40. The movie is a parody of kung fu movies that were popular in Hong Kong back in the 70's, and a lot of the jokes rely on viewers being familiar with the original movies (or at least with the general culture and lingo of old-school kung fu movies). I watched Kung Fu Hustle with my parents, and they were getting a lot more of the jokes than I was, which was weird because that almost never happens. It's definitely still a very enjoyable movie regardless of whether you get all the jokes. My wife still liked it, even though she doesn't speak a lick of Chinese, and didn't get most of the jokes.

The car chase at the end of Battle Royale manga
Hey jbrown, do you have linkage/pics?
I plan to do a SICK car chase later in the SZ story, and I'd really like to see what some of the better ones have done.
I'll have to scan it.
Anyways, the success of action on paper largely depends on the imagination of the reader. It's your job to fill in the time between the panels and even the best draftsman can't emotionally stimulate a reader if they're not willing. Some people breeze through comics in 5 minutes but on average I take 30 minutes to read just a 22 page serial because I literally play out every action in my head.
If panel 1 has a character looking at a key 10 feet away dangling from a door and panel 2 has them holding said key then I imagine in my head that the character first walks over to the key and removes it in the white space between the two panels.
Just a personal quirk but I developed it when I felt disappointed that I was paying 4 bux for 22 pages of talking heads.

Not too long ago, I got so frustrated that I bought a set of action figures and a desk light (my stuff is, well, sort of an exercise in neo-noir, means a lot if it depends on the right shadows, shading and inks...)
I'd probably just use the figures for the comic.

I made the mistake of watching Kung Fu Hustle before trying to watch Shaolin Soccer -- I was so entertained by the former that I just couldn't get into the latter. Both were on YouTube last time I looked.

Actually now that I think of it, I try very hard to do action scenes in Tally Road sometimes
and there are some things that are best in comic form...
This is a chase- the female Siamese is running for the truck, has said COME ON! and the dog guy went after her, which was a bad thing. Male Siamese chased the both of them but tripped on a bit of post-apocalyptic industrial debris and went down with an injured paw.
In drawing it, since I can't draw very well for what I'm trying to get away with, I broke up the panels so at the top we have the guy chasing and tripping, and at the bottom is a preview of what he's tripping ON and they coincide at the moment he trips and falls on his face. Things are cropped pretty close to make them more violent, and the guy's left paw-hand goes wide and claws-out as he goes down, which is also expressing the emotion of OUCH! (his ears are laid back to say WAUGH!) and the hand breaks the frame completely just to grab attention to the freeze-frame quality it's supposed to have. 'Third' panel, wolf lady hesitates realizing the cat has fallen down, and 'fourth' panel the female Siamese and dog guy have jumped on the truck and are on their way.
Or in this one, a cat lady is swarming up a sort of telephone pole (safety feature- potential customers being wolf people can't climb trees or wooden poles half as well)-
And then I was completely spent drawing that action and everything else was totally lame talking-head for the next 20 panels
The thing about drawing action scenes in any reasonable way is that it's HARD and seriously bereft of any way to repeat yourself and perfect poses by doing them repetitively. I've made little pipe-cleaner models that I sometimes use to try and figure out where limbs go in a complicated pose- for instance
... but I still struggle horribly with it all. Painters used to be famous for centuries when they were able to do this sort of thing great, and here I am trying to do it daily, for free. Pretty absurd really...
Anyhow, the fundamental thing about action in pictures is that it is action frozen in space. So, unless you rely totally on symbolic means like arrows or whooshes or motion lines, you are at the mercy of your ability to depict something in a way that it looks three-dimensional and solid- if you can't 'feel' the physicality of the thing you can't 'feel' it moving anywhere no matter what cues you supply to tell people what happened. It doesn't mean things have to be photorealistic- some poser comics look way more static than drawn stuff, when they don't have balance and gesture- but you do apparently have to have perspective and rendering enough to give a sensation of visual depth, whatever the art style is.
I'm learning that stuff as fast as I can, and stressing on it pretty hard a lot of the time, but that's because I think it is absolutely fundamental. I don't think you can do action convincingly without visual depth in the picture.

Hamas condemns Bin Laden killing
The Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement "Hamas" on Monday condemned the U.S. forces' killing of al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden and described him as "Mujahed." (Jihad worrior).
Ismail Haniyeh the Gaza Strip premier from Hamas said during a meeting with newspaper editors that Hamas considers the killing as a continuation of the U.S. policy to persecute and shed the blood of Muslims and Arabs.
And, although he noted there are differences in approach between al Qaeda and Hamas, he made it clear that Hamas is fully condemning the assassination of Bin Laden.
Regarding another issue, the Prime Minister of Gaza, said his government is ready to provide any help and assistance for the formation of a national Palestinian unity anchored government. Haniyeh stressed the need for restructuring the Palestine Liberation Organization and the formation of a unity government after the signing of a reconciliation agreement between Hamas and Fatah.
Haniyeh confirmed that the delegation of Hamas went to Cairo, carrying in his possession the names of candidates to become the next prime minister and ministers.
Top Headlines
As an American, I am not happy that Hamas has condemned the killing, but I can see why, I am understanding. In 2004, bin Laden, in his own words (speaking of US-funded invasion of Lebanon), said: "When I saw those destroyed towers in Lebanon, it sparked in my mind that the oppressors should be punished in the same way and that we should destroy towers in America so that they can taste what we taste and stop killing our women and children... I could not forget those moving scenes, blood and severed limbs, women and children were sprawiling everywhere... the entire world saw and heard, but it did nothing."
Any wonder that Palestinian leadership is held in lower esteem than diarrhea?
Die, Ismail Haniyeh, die.

Air ambulances play a vital role for those who have been injured and need immediate evacuation to a hospital or for those in need of a transport from one medical facility to another. Bovik Medical Services discusses many different types of air medical transport that can help you.
There are often times when an ill patient requires a transport from one medical facility to another. For example, this could be a patient that was involved in an automobile accident and suffer a brain injury. They may be stable enough to leave the hospital but need extensive rehabilitation at a special facility. I would be impractical to transport them by ground ambulance, particularly over a long distance. This is when the air ambulance is an excellent choice for the transport. Air ambulance can offer professional, fast transports. The medical crew and flight crew are highly trained and experienced. The personal attention they give patients makes for a comfortable transport. These companies put the safety and comfort of the patient first. You can read more about the medical crew, equipment and services offered on our blog.
The medical crews are made up of flight nurses and flight paramedics. They are professionals that are trained to handle all types of patients and emergency situations that may occur. The medical crews will be informed ahead of time of the patient's health issues, medications, history and more. This will ensure that all the patient's needs are met.
The type of aircraft used for a medical transport is decided by the patient's needs, distance to travel and other factors. Business jets like Cessna Citations and Learjets used by air ambulance companies ensure that the patient is comfortable during the transport. When time is of the essence, these jets can rapidly move patients from anywhere in the world to a medical facility.
These companies have a true commitment to providing the best care for those in need. The aircraft they use are spacious enough to accommodate medical crew, medical equipment, the patient and family without compromising safety.
The air medical transport business has evolved to become a necessary service. Helping ill and injured patients get to the destinations they need to go to is an invaluable service. By offering the highest standards of care and safety, the crews involved in these important air medical transports strive to provide the type of service their patients deserve.

|March 10th is Registered Dietitian Day
Registered Dietitians work in many areas of the All Children's Health System. In Nutritional Services, clinical dietitians provide nutrition care to inpatients on all units,often rounding with the medical team to give guidance on TPN, enteral feedings and complex nutrition needs. They work with families of children with a variety of nutrition related conditions including diabetes, prematurity,congenital heart disease, FTT, chronic kidney disease, cancer, short bowel syndrome, liver disease, food allergies, inflammatory bowel disease, and eating disorders.
Clinical dietitians are actively involved in many hospital quality projects including the breastmilk/formula centralization project, the neonatal feeding protocol and NICU starter TPN. Outpatient dietitians provide education to patients with nutritional needs at five of the Specialty Care Centers as well as the main hospital. They also staff CMS clinics for diabetes and gastroenterology at multiple locations. The Cystic Fibrosis program has a dedicated dietitian for this patient population to meet their specialized nutritional needs. Administrative dietitians direct the Food Service department and manage the Room Service program for the patient meals. They work closely with the clinical dietitians to develop the specialized menus for all the modified and allergy diets.
In Community Education, dietitians in the Fit4AllKids program help families develop healthy lifestyles to manage their weight. Early Steps also employs a dietitian who provides nutritional services in a child's natural environment, in addition to conducting developmental evaluations and working with providers who serve the children and families.
RDs must complete a Bachelor's degree in Nutrition/Dietetics as well as an 8-12 month internship in order to take the exam. So, find an RD this week and thank them for all they do!

The future of Flashpoint on CBS is still up in the air but Canadian viewers definitely have more episodes of the cop drama in their future.
Flashpoint is produced in Canada and CBS has licensed episodes since 2008 and used the show mostly as an off-season utility player. Last summer, CBS aired most of the episodes from season three but still had six installments left on the shelf. In January, the decision was made to license seven more episodes, combine them with the leftover six and run them as season four. They began airing in early May.
That left 11 episodes of the cop drama that weren't being licensed by CBS. They are on track to be aired in Canada this summer.
CTV has now ordered a fifth season of 18 episodes. Flashpoint is the most-watched Canadian drama and has averaged more than 1.5 million viewers (an impressive number by Canadian TV standards). The new order will bring the series' episode total to 80 installments, making it the longest-running original scripted series currently on Canadian television.
There's been no word on whether CBS will license any more episodes or not but the ratings certainly haven't been impressive. Thus far this season, Flashpoint's been averaging just a 1.1 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 6.42 million total viewers. Per the early numbers, last night's installment tied a repeat of Shark Tank in the demo.
On the other hand, the show doesn't cost the network as much as producing their own scripted dramas.
Once the new episodes are filmed and completed, there will be 29 episodes that CBS hasn't licensed. We'll have to wait to see when or if American audiences will get a chance to see them.
What do you think? Are you glad to hear Flashpoint has been renewed? Should CBS license more episodes?

The Communication Department introduces a new curriculum in Fall 2012.
This means our majors and minors will be working under two different sets of requirements during this transition, one for those who enrolled before Fall 2012 and one for those who enrolled Fall 2012 or later.
Please note that if you enrolled at CSB/SJU before Fall 2012, you may choose to follow either the pre-2012 or new major/minor requirements.
The new curriculum is organized around the department's primary learning goals:
- Message Design: Learning to create effective oral and written messages that are appropriate for particular situations and audiences.
- Analysis of Communication: Learning to think critically about messages - analyzing and evaluating communication.
- Communication & Community: Understanding the relationship between communication and community to explain how communication shapes participation in social life.
Within each of the learning goals, students are free to choose from among a select group of courses designed to meet that learning goal. In the new curriculum, majors will:
- Get a well-rounded sense of the Communication curriculum by taking all three of the department's foundation courses.
- Complete at least one course from each of the department's three learning goals: Message Design, Analysis, and Communication & Community.
- Complete 40 credits from learning goals and elective courses.
- Complete a Capstone Course that is an in-depth and detailed consideration of special topic in communication. Students will prepare and present a major research project in the Capstone Course.

Not a question. Opened this post in error.
Thank you for stepping up! I'm sorry, my internet has been sketchy and I missed this discussion completely!
Hi, Ali. I was experiencing the same phenomenon for a while recently, although it seems to have died away. The only way I could escape the intrusive, screen-covering ads was to go completely out of the Mugglenet site, or even completely out of my browser, and come back in again.
I described the phenomenon to my daughter, who is a computer engineer, and she said that the Mugglenet site is hosted on a server (which belongs to somebody else), and that the server makes money by selling ad placements to various companies such as Comcast or Xfinity (the usual offenders, in this problem we were experiencing). These ads are supposed to appear only in their designated boxes on the site, the boxes where we usually see them, but the software can go rogue (a "rogue gif", she calls it) and plaster the ad all over our screen, either because there is a "bug" in the software that places the ads (a common problem; much software is full of errors) or because somebody did it deliberately. In either case, it's illegal, a violation of the contract between Mugglenet and the server company, and the folks at the server company are supposed to correct it when it is brought to their attention.
I suppose that the problem has been brought to their attention, because it seems to have stopped. My daughter asked me to show her the screen if it happens again, because she is able to tell if the problem is what I just described, or a virus in the "middleware" (whatever that is), but luckily it is no longer occurring.
I have recently begun trying to read some of the fanfiction on MNFF again, but everytime I try to click onto a story or a new page, an ad pops up and the rest of the page does not load. I have tried reading on multiple devices and the outcome is the same each time. Is there something that I can try so I can begin enjoying the stories again? It is beginning to become frustrating.
Thank you - Ali
Greetings mods. I was so excited to see a new review for an old fic when I popped back around tonight after being away a while (full time job has killed my online life), but then discovered it was a bizarre post having nothing to do with fanfic at all. ??? Spam? Not sure, but I was hoping one of you might be able to Vanish it when you get a chance. Thanks.
Edit: Done
In that case I'll just look at last year's challenge (The Great Hall/The Archive of Scrolls/Let The Yule Tide Roll) and write something for the archives, even though it won't be judged or gain points. Merry Christmas, all!
The mod group determined a while ago that, due to low participation in challenges, that each challenge forum would only hold one challenge per term. As there is currently the Terrible Two-Shot Challenge going on right now, there will likely not be a Christmas-themed challenge.
Is there going to be a holiday challenge this year?
The general rule is that if there are changes to and/or additions to a previously approved chapter that amount to 10% or more of the total word count of said chapter, then it's best to resubmit. However, if you already have a significant number of reads or reviews already, then you can email me the alterations you want to make and edit after. If it's the latter, the next chapter you submit, it would help your readers to leave a note telling them that the previous chapter was altered and a summary of whatever important changes were made.
What is your policy on major additions to a chapter that has already been approved? I realized after I submitted my chapter 3 that I was going to add more to it. I decided not to delete my submission of the chapter, so it could stay in the queue, and with the technical difficulties you guys have been having, I thought I could get my edit up before my chapter was approved, but you just approved it today. Since it's a major edit, do I need to send you the addition to the chapter before I edit it into the chapter, or would you prefer me to just re-submit the entire chapter.
Thanks for all the hard work you do here.

County's restaurant workers go online for food safety course
The web courses on safe food handing have been exceedingly popular

Chef Bob Johnson, right, and Eric Wilson read lunch orders in the kitchen of Scuttlebutt Brewing Company, Wednesday afternoon.
Talley, 26, works at Scuttlebutt's restaurant on Everett's waterfront. The required course provides information on food safety through each step of preparation, from delivery door to dining table. "That way, you could go in and help out at any other position," he said.
The first time he took the course it was conducted traditionally, in a classroom with an instructor, and a test at the end.
In May 2011, the Snohomish Health District broke with tradition and began offering the course online. The online course is so popular that last year, 22,649 people in the county received their training for their food worker cards online, said Rick Zahalka, the health district's food program manager.
Just 3,076 people took the health district's class in person.
The goal is to prevent people from getting sick from the food through problems such as undercooked hamburger or foods that haven't been kept cool enough to prevent the growth of germs.
Problems in food preparation can cause people to become sickened with illnesses such as E. coli or salmonella, which potentially can be life threatening.
The charge for the course, whether online or in the classroom, is $10. The food worker cards can be used anywhere in Washington. Food worker cards are good for two years after the first class and can be renewed for three years afterward.
The online courses are available in English, Spanish, Korean, Russian, Mandarin, Cantonese, Vietnamese, Cambodian and closed caption for the hearing impaired.
The public can test their food preparation skills by going to the online site and taking the course. They're only charged if they want a food handler's card, Zahalka said.
"I highly recommend all cooks take the test," he said. "It can't hurt to have home cooks aware of the risks to food safety, especially when handling raw chicken."
Several food handling techniques can combat about 90 percent of all food-borne illness, he said. "It comes down to keep it clean, wash your hands, washing the surfaces the food comes into contact with -- cutting boards and knives."
Talley was among those who said he prefers taking the food safety course online.
"It really was nice to take the test at my home and not have to drive somewhere and be there by a certain time," he said. "It was much more convenient."
Kayla Kjallin, 19, a hostess at the restaurant, said that taking the course online allowed her to do it on her own time, sitting at home, "instead of having to sit and listen to people talk about basic things like not coming to work sick," she said.
The work tasks of Ashlee Priszner, 20, include all the details that make dining out a pleasant experience, making sure the spoons and crackers go out on the same plate with the restaurant's chowder and that all the food ordered together goes out as a group.
Priszner said the online course was more productive. "I'm more of a hands-on learner," she said. "I could look at it, read it, and look at the pictures."
Scuttle Bannan, who has owned the restaurant for 16 years, said she prefers taking the food safety course in person.
"I'm from the old school," she said. "I'm lucky to have a cell phone."
Bannan said she thinks she learns more from sitting in a classroom to review the information.
"I think it's really good to be required to do it every couple of years," she said. "It's a good reminder."
Her daughter, Maggie Doud, who fills in periodically at the family business, said she loved taking the course online.
Doud said she sometimes found sitting in a room full of people taking the course could be distracting. And there was the hassle of getting a baby-sitter and trying to find a parking spot near the health district's offices in downtown Everett.
The instructors did a good job of presenting the material, she said. "But the convenience, for me, definitely won out over the class."

GREENVILLE - Friends and family gathered Friday to celebrate the birthday and remember the life of a special friend, a son, and a dad.
Brandon Dewayne Hampton, aka Frampton, would have turned 27 years old on Friday. The 2006 Greenville graduate passed away unexpectedly in his sleep on Oct. 6, 2013. According to family and friends, he had many friends that thought the world of him and referred to him as everyone's "Dr. Phil."
"He was very social and was there for everyone and always putting his own needs aside. He didn't just have a few friends, everyone was his friend," said Hampton's mother Elsie King-Bush. "The last message Brandon sent to me was that he was the richest kid in the neighborhood because I was his mom."
A former co-worker told his mom that she had very low self-esteem issues until Brandon nicknamed her "Beautiful." All of his friends then followed his lead and started calling her by that name as well.
"That is one example of how Brandon made a positive impact in people's lives," Elsie King-Bush added.
He left behind his 10-month-old daughter Harper Elina Hampton and stepdaughter Jailyn who is age 5, along with several brothers and sisters.
"He was very close with his daughters, Harper and Jailyn. He was always playing with them, whether it was trying to teach Harper to crawl or playing barbies with Jailyn. He looked forward to every moment he got to spend with them. Family was very important to him," said Abbie Ressler.
One of Brandon's best friends John 'Zach' Randall posted the following on his buddies Facebook wall Friday, "No matter how many wishes nothing can bring ya back. I miss ya brother. I appreciate everything and will see you on the other side. It's your birthday every day now because you're in a better place with angels in paradise, but today we'll celebrate here on earth. Our dear brother. This day is for you!"
Those who knew and were close to Brandon gathered for a balloon launch at South Park in Greenville on Friday afternoon and then for a vigil celebration on Broadway that evening.
He had sayings that people continue to use and one is on his memorial t-shirt that over 400 people bought locally and some even got tattooed.
"I don't care what you think of me unless you think I'm awesome in which case you're right! Carry on!" - Brandon D. Hampton, Feb. 21, 1987 to Oct. 6, 2013.

The City of Grand Prairie reports two West Nile Virus positive mosquito samples in addition to one human case of West Nile Virus. The City's Environmental Services Department will ground spray the following three areas for two consecutive nights on Thursday, Aug. 1, and Friday, Aug. 2, starting at 10 p.m.:
Residents in this area are advised to stay indoors, keep pets inside, and cover fish ponds during those times. Spraying will be rescheduled if wind speeds are above 10 mph or in the event of rain.
All Grand Prairie residents are asked to help eliminate the areas that mosquitoes need to breed by emptying, removing or covering any receptacle that can hold water, and keeping swimming pools properly treated and chemically balanced.
To prevent mosquito bites, residents are advised to use an insect repellent containing at least 30 percent DEET (lower concentration for children) and stay indoors at dawn and dusk. The City of Grand Prairie conducts regular tests on mosquito samples throughout the city as part of its West Nile Virus surveillance program. For more information on vector control in Grand Prairie, please visit www.gptx.org/FightTheBite.

Incase you haven't heard, I handed the CVO over to Adam Higdon. By my own choosing I will no longer be TDing this event. Contact Adam if you have any questions about the tournament.

"...a glass can only spill what it contains..."
Thanks for working with me, help me along and spending lots of time on the phone with me Jeremy. There's no way I would be in a position to take over an event of this caliber without all the help you've generously given me. I know you've worked hard over the years building this tournament and with the help of others, this looks to be the biggest ever CVO.
I also want to thank Judge. He's worked his bum off while I was away to get sponsors and he's done an incredible job! All but one of the holes are sponsored, plus we've got a couple larger contributors like Derby City and Cloud 9.
I can confidently say we will meet our goal of $4000 cash added this year!
I'm working on the tournament poster now so we can start advertising the CVO across the region and get registration going. We're also working on a nice big players pack this year. We'd love to hear your thoughts, click here if you have some players pack ideas. We're also going to need some help the weekend of the tournament with various things and we'll post about that soon as well. There's lots going on with the CVO and if you want to be part of it please let us know!
On a side note, I should mention I changed my name to Adam Embrey, but obviously I'll answer to either. It's my mother's maiden name and there aren't any more Embrey's around here so I changed it just before the wedding.

Billing some one out of jail must mean footing the bill, or purchasing their freedom by the laying on of bills.
i reached home about 2.30am in the morning… my mum went to bill me out..
(http://queenlicious.blogspot.com/2004/1 … e-soo.html)
Rebelious acts- Daniel Radcliffe- part 1- Mom can you bill me out?
(http://www.quizilla.com/stories/7389132 … ill-me-out)
Works for me.
*If the human mind were simple enough for us to understand,
we would be too simple-minded to understand it* .
One wonders whether "bail out," as in bail out of jail, is a hidden eggcorn for many people, who connect it with bailing out a boat. These are two different "bails," the nautical sense coming from a late Latin word for bucket and the jail sense from a French legal term for delivering goods held in trust.
The blues standard "Key to the Highway", first recorded in 1940, starts out: "I got the key to the highway, and I'm billed out and bound to go…" Since this song, like so many old blues tunes, is a reworked version of older songs, it's impossible to say how old that "billed out" line is, but this use of "billed out" for "bailed out" (if that is indeed what it means in this song), unarguably dates back 70 years at the very least. So, if it's an eggcorn, it's a pretty old one. I'm wondering if maybe it's a correct usage (by the rules of some ethnic or regional dialect) rather than an eggcorn; who's to say whether that usage of "billed" came about through an eggcornish misunderstanding or some other way?
There are legitimate uses of "bill out", without a doubt. The use of bill as a verb for requesting payment or for other fiduciary transactions goes back 700 years. My guess is that the "billed out" in The key to the highway would be "paid up", or "waybilled". Probably the former: the road is my new digs on account of how bad you done me.
As for the Wall Street bail out, if that phrase is not nautical, it would nevertheless fit. There is considerable room for confusion among the many meanings of bail, in combination with bale and bill. Some online dictionaries throw up their hands and call bail/bale alternative spellings, despite their distinct origins. Beyond the homophony, each of these words presents interesting and eggcorn-primed possibilities, each being the product of more than one etymological history.
