The concept of the game is based on trying to understand the nature of a person based on exploring files and documents on their computer without any other notes or documentation or knowing this person in the first place. In the game, the player, aided by Wreden's narration, looks to understand that of a game developer named Coda whom Wreden had met at a game jam in 2009. Coda is considered enigmatic, having created numerous strange game ideas which he has subsequently deleted or stored away and forgotten. The player explores these games, most being exploration games developed from 2008 to 2011 that were only half-created, and is encouraged by Wreden's narration to try to imagine what Coda's personality would be like based on the abstract and unconventional game spaces and ideas. The Beginner's Guide is presented in generally chronological order of Coda's prototypes, showing the progression of Coda's work as the developer learned more. Wreden's narration explains that he was inspired by many of Coda's game concepts, providing his own analysis on many of the themes he perceived to appear in Coda's games. However, Wreden had seen that many of the games are based on themes of prisons, isolation, and difficulty in communicating with others, and that eventually Coda's games took a darker tone and took much longer to produce, focusing even more strongly on dialogue that implied that game development was no longer a positive activity for Coda. Wreden felt concerned that Coda was feeling depressed and weighed down by game development, and took it upon himself to show some of Coda's game concepts to others to get feedback to help encourage Coda to develop more. However, this in turn led to Coda to draw into seclusion. At some point in 2011, Wreden believed Coda had stopped making games, until he was sent an email with a private link to a final game by Coda. This game, its design in stark contrast to the others Coda had made, included puzzles that were nearly unsolvable and a door that could not be opened from within the game. Wreden found that when he was able to use various programming tools to bypass these, he ended up in a gallery with a message from Coda directed at him, asking him not to talk to him any more nor to showcase his games to others. The messages implied Coda felt that Wreden mistook the tone of his games as a sign of an emotional struggle and was missing the point of why he had engaged in game design, as well as accusing Wreden with modifying Coda's games to add more symbolism, and that Wreden's actions had betrayed Coda. As a result, Wreden felt terrible about what he had done, and thus reveals that the purpose of The Beginner's Guide was to try to reconnect to Coda by sharing his games with the public at large and to hope to apologize for his actions. The game concludes with an epilogue level with Wreden sparsely narrating about his dependence on social validation, something he saw as the cause for showing Coda's games to other people. ===== ===== On 7 October 2003, the alleged attempted coup – and its failure – was announced publicly by Abdoulaye Barry, a government prefect chairing the military court of the capital Ouagadougou. Several had been arrested, and detained by the police. Most of them were connected to the military, especially the Regiment of Presidential Security. The highest-ranking officer to be arrested was Commander Bernadin Poda, accused of siphoning army funds to finance the coup. Among those arrested were also Michel Norbert Tiendrébéogo (leader of the Social Forces Front, a Sankarist political party), and the Christian pastor Israël Pascal Paré. The number of people arrested during the crackdown varies between sources, with some saying 10, others 12, and yet others 16. At least one of the supposed plotters died in police custody under suspicious circumstances. The person in question, Sergeant Moussa Kabore, was alleged to have hanged himself in his cell on 8 October. The United States embassy expressed concern over the treatment of other detained individuals connected to the coup attempt, and the Burkina Faso Movement for Human and People's Rights (MBDHP) complained that many of the detained had been held without being charged for far longer than the law allowed. In early November MBDHP activists were finally allowed to see the prisoners, and reported that their conditions were "acceptable". According to government sources, the main instigator of the coup attempt was the Captain Luther Diapagri Oualy, who was to face treason charges. The prosecutor general Abdoulaye Barry stated that Oualy had been in contact with foreign powers, meeting with government representatives in Côte d'Ivoire and Togo in September 2003. Both countries denied any involvement in the plot. In November 2003, Burkina Faso's Foreign Minister Youssouf Ouédraogo stated to various diplomats that the coup had been intended to take place during a cabinet meeting, using weapons received from the Regiment of Presidential Security. Captain Oualy was alleged to have purchased three 4x4 pick-up vehicles, for this purpose. Several months later, late at night during 17 April 2004, a military court in Ouagadougou announced the trial verdict. Captain Luther Diapagri Oualy was sentenced to ten years in prison, without parole.

They want to be accepted to the Star Frame Class, which is directly taught by the members of the Kao Council, the most talented students from the Musical Department who stand at the top within the academy.

Dax is subsequently fired in a corporate powerplay and, as he has been living beyond his means, loses his girlfriend, car and will soon be evicted from his house. Meanwhile, at the North Pole, Santa Claus (Eric Keenleyside) is looking to replace Santa's Little Helper, the second-in-command. Eleanor (Paige), the daughter of the outgoing Ho-Ho-Ho believes the job should be hers, but Santa, believing the North Pole could use a human influence, tasks Billie (AnnaLynne McCord) with reviewing Dax as a possible candidate. Billie is a kindly elf who is shunned by many of her elfin brethren because of a genetic defect that gives her round ears. Billie gives Dax a series of difficult and embarrassing tasks to test his character, occasionally bailing him out with North Pole magic, while not revealing that it is Santa who is looking to hire him. Dax starts poorly but begins to soften during the course of the trials while also developing a mutual attraction to Billie. After Dax helps a mugging victim retrieve a precious ring, Billie declares him fit for the position. Dax does not believe Billie's claim to work for Santa, so Santa himself arrives at Dax's home to convince him to take the job. A flashback reveals Dax had once been optimistic and friendly until he was framed for stealing money from the youth center he shut down in the film's opening. Dax accepts the position of Santa's Little Helper, but Eleanor, using an obscure North Pole law, challenges him to the position with the winner being decided through a rigorous obstacle course. Dax loses and Eleanor is named Santa's Little Helper. Dax returns home, having stolen a magic bell that can make wishes come true and plans to use it to save the Youth Center. Santa intercedes and halts his attempts at using magic, so Dax gives a rousing speech to rally the community and save the Youth Center from a wrecking ball and capture the director who really stole the money from it. Santa places Eleanor on the naughty list for her poor sportsmanship during the competition, thus disqualifying her from the position, and reveals it was Billie he was testing for the position of Santa's Little Helper all along. Dax and Billie then share a passionate kiss under a magical snowfall. ===== Following World War II a group of unrepentant German scientists scheme to detonate a radio-controlled explosion of an atomic bomb in Paris. ===== In the late 1930s, two American sisters, Laura and Kate Barlow, travel to France where they perform séances at cabarets with Laura hosting the session and Kate channeling the spirits. A public performance of theirs is seen by French film producer Andre Korben. Impressed by their act, he books them for a private session and is moved by the spirit that visits him. Feeling stifled by the lack of innovation in the French film industry, Korben convinces investors and his team to film a séance as it happens. Unfortunately for Korben, the reels look ridiculous. But the director is drawn to Laura, who, despite not being a spiritualist, has a face that photographs well. The film team conceives of a conventional script in which Laura plays a medium who channels the spirit of a widower's wife and the three become locked in a love triangle with the widower unsure if he is falling in love with his former wife or the medium. Laura and Kate move in with Korben, who is generous and kind to them. However, he continues to hold private séances with Kate, much to Laura's displeasure. (She fears, rightly, that Korben's interest in the spirit world is sexual.) Eventually, Laura is forced to leave for the coast to continue filming. Korben takes Kate to a metaphysical scientist and films their sessions together. On the coast, Laura realizes that the rise of anti-semitism means the tides are turning against Korben. Rumours that he once performed in porn abound; and someone writes that she is a Jew's whore on her mirror. When Korben and Kate arrive to reunite with Laura, Korben shows his producers and investors the film of him and Kate which shows nothing. The director walks off the film and blames the money Korben has wasted chasing ghosts as an excuse. Meanwhile, Kate falls ill and reveals that she hasn't been faking but really can see ghosts. She believes this is because she is dying. Kate has leukemia, which is a death sentence at the time. Korben is jailed for his wasted investments and the trial strips him of his French citizenship. Years later, Kate is dead; and Korben has been sent to a death camp in "the East". Laura runs into Eva, an actress she once knew, who helps her get a part in a film working with her former director. No longer involved with spiritualism or Korben, Laura's film career in Nazi era France is assured. ===== Cable layer Steve Reardon (Brian Donlevy) is in a tank at the bottom of the ocean near Hawaii reading an adventure story "The Son of Neptune", written by his girlfriend Edith McNeil (Glenda Farrell) who based the stories on Steve's life.

A long time ago, Guardian spirits helped humans with their problems. Humans would leave posters of the spirits on their doors to allow the spirits access. As time moved on, humanity grew less dependent on the spirits until the connection was eventually forgotten by all but a few. Raindrop and her mother, Luli, go to visit her grandmother's shop, which is a traditional soup shop that has been using the same recipe for generations. Raindrop explores the shop and plays with her grandmother's music box while her grandmother talks about her own grandmother meeting the spirits. The family sits down to have soup together, as the grandmother gives out a small, sad smile, revealing that she is dying. Before the grandmother passes away a day later, her last wish was for Raindrop and Luli to look after the failing soup shop. The mother and daughter sends a floating lantern with the grandmother's music box attached to it, into the spirit world, where it gets caught in the branches of the Ancient Tree on Shen Tu and Yu Lei's yard. Yu Lei spots it and is excited that a human needs their help, but Shen Tu stops his brother from touching the music box, citing that it is dangerous to touch human things and illegal to go to the human world. The two brothers argue, until they come upon an old spirit named Backett, agreeing that times have changed and humans have moved on, but he also longs to be helping humans like they used to instead of being on strike. While Dean, assistant to the mayor, and the mighty babies inspect that no spirit should sneak off to the human world, the gods of the spirit world go to meet the mayor, who gives a speech on how now that they are on strike they have broken away from being slaves to humans and soon all portals to the human world would be removed. After the meeting, a party is held, but Yu Lei escapes to hide by Colossus, a giant spirit who reveals that he is running a secret errand in the human world. Noticing that a spirit escaped from the spirit world, the mayor interrupts the party. The escapee spirit was revealed to be Beckett, who helped a fallen old woman at the human world. The mayor and the security of the spirit world punished Beckett by removing his robes and banishing him from the spirit world. Yu Lei and Shen Tu walk a banished Beckett out of the palace. The old spirit explains his complaint about the human world's suffering. While he is lamenting, he touches a wall, scraping away so of the paint, revealing that the wall used to be a magical mural that could restore the original painting. He tells the brothers the story of the Nian. An ancient evil that humans and spirits had to work together to seal away into three pieces, instead of killing it. Yu Lei deliberately plans to release the Nian, to have humans and spirits communicate again; however, Beckett denies. He gives Yu Lei a magical leaf that will help him find the seals. Mr. Rogman has his restaurant to compete Luli and Raindrop's soup restaurant. A cement mixer blaring music parks outside the soup shop, disturbing the few customers. Two men get out of the truck and lean against it. Liu goes outside and asks them to leave. The men become hostile and start approaching Liu when Mr. Rogman shows up and fights the men off and orders them to leave. He follows Luli into the shop and tries to convince her to sell his restaurant to him so they can expand it into a large, modern shop. Rain offers him a bowl of soup that she has loaded with spice. Mr. Rogman drinks it and becomes desperate for some water. He drinks the dish water and starts spewing out bubbles and runs out of the shop into his own, where the two men from the cement truck are waiting. After drinking water, he yells at the men for not looking tough enough. He watches Rain as a group of children ignore her and snickers. Later that night, Rain goes inside and tells her mother, who was looking sadly at the little money they made that day, and Rain announces wants to go back home, that the soup shop is not theirs and that they should leave. Her mother points out that the shop has been in the family for generations and that all will be well in the end. Rain declares that she hates this place and runs out into the night. In the spirit world, Shen Tu is trying to stay awake by baking cookies as he waits for Dean to show up and do the midnight inspection. He and Yu Lei are still arguing over whether or not they should be helping humans. Dean does the inspection, but also brings an announcement from the mayor that their portal must be destroyed, or they will be banished. Yu Lei decides that he has had enough and, despite Shen Tu trying to make him stay, enters the human world. Rain is rescues a frog from a stray dog. The dog turns on her and she runs away. As she flees, more strays join. She is eventually surrounded. Yu Lei shows up and rescues her. He tells her he is a guardian and she asks if he's like a Jedi. He gives her the magical disk he fought the dogs with to keep her safe, and Rain goes back home to her worried mother. Yu Lei follows the magic leaf to a river, where he finds Colossus guarding the seal. Colossus says that the mayor ordered him to protect it, as breaking it would interfere with the mayor's plan. As much as Colossus wants to team up and help Yu Lei, he doesn't want to get in trouble. He pretends to fight Yu Lei so he can say that he 'tried' to protect the seal while actually assisting Yu Lei. After 'losing' the fight, Colossus runs off. Yu Lei pulls all the water from the river and finds a fish at the bottom. The fish is actually a dragon, and it takes all the water from the river as well as Yu Lei's youth and power. Rain, dragged to the lake by Yu Lei's disk watched the dragon fly off. The next day none of the taps in the shops work. Luli asks if Rain knows anything about this, and Rain claims that she doesn't because she was home all night. Mr. Rogman shows up and tells Luli that all the taps don't work and that the river has run dry. He offers to supply Luli with water for her soup, as he keeps extra water on hand for emergencies. He provides her water that he has added something to, which causes all of Luli's customers to get diarrhea. A health inspectors comes by, saying he had received a tip, and shuts down the shop for selling rotten soup. Colossus goes to Shen Tu's house and tells him about the fight with Yu Lei. Worried, Shen Tu enters the human world where he also rescues Raindrop from the pack of wild dogs. Rain makes the connection with him and Yu Lei gave him a cylindrical stone for her protection. Shen Tu decided to follow his brother to the human world and end up unto the soup shop. Rain ask him to help them because the shop well be closing so they headed to the health inspector's asking for the restaurant to be reopened. The health inspector mistakes Shen Tu for a friend and agrees to do another inspection and if they pass he will reopen their soup shop. Rain takes Shen Tu to the shop and Luli makes him change clothes to help with the cleaning. When his outfit is changed, his appearance on the door also changes. Rain sees this and watches Shen Tu perform magic to help clean the shop. The Health Inspector arrives and goes through the shop. He finds insects, which he tracks to Mr Rogman's place next door. He opens the shop and finds Mr' Rogman and his lackeys in a filthy kitchen. Mr Rogman's place shuts down. The soup shop fills up with customers and Shen Tu feels great about helping and he wonders if Yu Lei was right. Rain confronts Shen Tu about being a guardian and he explains he is looking for Yu Lei. The disk triggers and leads them to Yu Lei. Yu Lei, who is now much older, follows the leaf to a statue which is being guarded by Bloom, who barely recognizes him with his change in appearance. She's annoyed that he doesn't pay attention to her in the spirit world. She is guarding the seal because it is a job, and if he breaks it she will lose her job. Bloom gets angry that Yu Lei is so self centred and focused on what he feels is right without thinking about other spirit's opinions. Yu Lei declares that he is right because he is the only one taking action. They fight and Yu Lei faints. Shen Tu and Rain arrive. Bloom and Yu Lei are sitting by the base of the statue. Bloom tells Yu Lei to stop trying to change the world. Yu Lei takes advantage of her inattention to break the seal. Bloom is sucked into a vortex. All her petals attack Yu Lei, who is protected by Shen Tu. The ancient tree spasms and insects swarm in town. Yu Lei has aged even further, and Shen Tu argues that he needs to stop. Yu Lei claims that aging is the consequence he has to bear, but Shen Tu points out that other people are suffering as well and Rain tells him about almost losing the shop. Shen Tu tells Yu Lei it has to stop. Yu Lei says it doesn't and then runs off. Rain picks up a handful of petals left by Bloom. Shen Tu and Rain decide that they have to stop Yu Lei to prevent him from breaking the seal. Shen Tu takes the disk that Yu Lei gave Rain and vanishes. Rain is upset at being abandoned. Shen Tu comes back home to find that the ancient tree is crushing all the lanterns. Back at the soup shop, flower petals end up in the soup. The customers who eat it love it and they make money. Luli is excited but Rain is upset that they don't have any more petals and that Shen Tu is gone. Luli decides to try new soup recipes. The restaurant becomes extremely busy. Rain makes guardian posters for other children, who become her friends. Yu Lei finds the final seal in an old building that is full of statues that looks hundreds of years old. There are statues of him breaking both seals, and a statue of Shen Tu and Yu Lei. Yu Lei gets upset. An old man approaches Yu Lei, saying that he made the room for Yu Lei. He points out that Yu Lei is now old, weak and abandoned. The old man also wants to free the Nian and that the Nian chose Yu Lei to free it because he was strong enough to survive being consumed as he broke the seals. Mr Rogman sneaks into the soup shop looking for the soup recipe. He steals the spices and tampers with the soup pressure cooker. Rain catches him, but he ties her up. Shen Tu is back in the spirit world, where Dean confronts him about Yu Lei being gone. Dean tears the poster portal and Shen Tu knocks him out and locks him and the mighty babies in an urn. Shen Tu fixes the portal, but can't find the correct door because there are so many posters now. Mr Rogman interrogates Rain for the soup recipe. Shen Tu fights off Mr Rogman and throws him in the river. They follow the disk to go find Yu Lei, but the pressure cooker is still at the risk of exploding. The old man reveals that the Nian has guided Yu Lei to this place and asks Yu Lei if this is what he wants. Yu Lei says it is and the old man reveals the final seal. Yu Lei realizes that he is severely weakened and has been losing his own spirit in his quest. He attacks everything in the building, but is soon out of energy. The old man tells Yu Lei that he is weak and needs to leave. Yu Lei goes to cut the statue of him and his brother, but won't cut the statue of his brother. Shen Tu and Rain arrive. Shen Tu admits that he was wrong, but also that Yu Lei was wrong and that they need to move forward. Yu Lei admits he's been blinded and goes to leave. Shen Tu grabs Yu Lei's sword, but accidentally breaks the third seal. The ancient tree starts to shake and people in town panic as the sky gets weird. Rain and Yu Lei are injured when the building collapses. Yu Lei is unconscious so Rain gives him back his disk and faints. Yu Lei wakes up only to collapse again. Shen Tu rouses him, and they can see the spirit world beginning to fall. They bring Rain to Luli Rain wakes up as the shop explodes. Shen Tu, carrying Yu Lei jumps into the posters just as everything explodes. Dean escapes the urn he had been sealed in just as the brothers show up. Before he can confront them, a root from the tree crashes into the house. The tree starts pullings itself out of the island and a giant cloud with a face attacks the town. It goes to the soup shop, but was scared away by firecrackers. The town attacks with fire crackers. The mighty babies are knocked off the island and into town. Rain gets them to help with the fireworks. The tree turns into the Nian and Yu Lei admits that he screwed up. The mighty babies show up with fire works and attack the Nian tree. This reveals the heart if the Nian, which is a rock that Yu Lei used to touch to control the tree. Yu Lei throws his disk at the rock, cracking it. The island keeps falling and the rock needs one hit to finish breaking it. Shen Tu uses the music box to do it. This causes the Nian to die and the island to rise back into the spirit world. Back at the spirit world, it turns out that the two guardians of the seal, one of them is Bloom, has lost their memories on how they broke the seals. They were being returned to the queen to regain their memories. Shen Tu wakes up to find a young Yu Lei on the island. They create a restaurant for the spirit world and Beckett joins them. The human world is happier knowing that the spirits are watching, and Mr Rogman's lackeys are now repairing the stove in the soup restaurant. ===== Barbara Blanchard, the daughter of rags-to-riches divorced oilman Jim Blanchard, is going to marry Count Michael Montaine. When Jim receives a telegram from the count insisting upon a settlement of $500,000 before the marriage, he sends word of this to Barbara. However, the radiogram reaches her just after the wedding has taken place. Furious, she drives off. Her mother Vera is determined to avoid public humiliation and to see her matchmaking scheme completed. Vera has her daughter declared mentally unbalanced and swears out a warrant for her arrest. When Barbara learns of this from the radio, she has her hairdresser Mabel dye her hair blonde. She also switches clothes with her. Barbara sets out for Los Angeles to meet her father's yacht. (However, Vera sends a wireless message to Jim, telling him the couple have reconciled. He believes her and heads to Acapulco instead.) When police chase her for speeding, she abandons her car. After numerous attempts at hitchhiking fail, she pretends to faint. Bob and his friends the Dooleys both stop. Midge Dooley tells Bob to give her a lift, but he has had a bad experience with a blonde, plus he risks losing his job (driving a new car to California for Willoughby Sproggs as part of a four-car caravan). When she conveniently faints again, Bob gives in, but only until they reach the next town. She claims she is on the run because when she cashed her check from a walkathon she won, it turned out there was no money. At the next town, he loans her $10 and sends her on her way. She tries to send a telegram to her father collect, but cannot because she would have to show some ID. She sneaks back into Bob's car undetected. On the way to Omaha, when Bob tries to get rid of her, Sproggs finds out about the unauthorized passenger. Barbara claims to be Bob's wife, and Midge backs her up, so Bob is forced to take her along. When they stop for the night, Bob will not let her share his room. Roy, another one of Sproggs' drivers, tries to pick her up, but Bob knocks him down. She goes to sleep in the car. There she finds a necklace hidden away, which leads her to assume Bob is a thief. Meanwhile, Midge reads a newspaper article about a "blonde gun- moll" wanted in connection with a diamond robbery and thinks Barbara is her. Midge tells Bob. Eventually, it is all sorted out. Roy turns out to be the jewel thief, Barbara's father will get her marriage annulled, and the couple embrace. ===== Giving in to the demands of his children, namely: Govindram, Rohit, Aarti, and his daughter-in-law, Sunita, Dhaniram (Kader Khan) distributes his wealth between the four of them. Rohit prefers not to participate in this, and remains devoted to his dad. Greed overtakes Govind, Aarti and Govind's wife, and they become arrogant and ill-mannered. Even his daughter gets married without his consent to Shashi (Shashikiran). Dhaniram and his lawyer Batliwala (Anupam Kher) contact Dhaniram's twin brother Maniram, and together they get Dhaniram married to Priya (Swapna),Umar Pachpan Ki Dil Bachpan Ka on Ultra Media & Entertainment who is much younger than Dhaniram. Thus the beneficiary of Dhaniram's estate is now changed to Priya, and it remains to be seen whether this will affect Dhaniram, Maniram, Govind, Rohit, Aarti, Snita, Shashim and others. ===== The story revolves around Rajeshwari (Radhika Kumaraswamy), a Simha Rashi (Leo) girl who has divine faith in Mother Goddess Akkamma (Bhanupriya). On the other hand, Karkotakudu (Satya Prakash), an Asur, lands on earth to destroy it. The backstory of the film shows that to protect the world, Akkamma must herself go under the arrest of a supernatural element, which can only be uplifted when a Simha Rashi living organism sacrifices herself in the fire. It is revealed that Karkotakudu can be killed by Rajeshwari, so Karkotakudu tries multiple attempts to kill Rajeshwari. In the process, Rajeshwari marries Prasad (Richard Rishi), the heir of a wealthy family who treats him badly and drugs him to make him mentally unstable in order to capture his wealth. Rajeshwari's divinity increases, and she also saves her husband from the evil deeds of his family. After some time, a baby is also born. Now Karkotakudu, with all his force, tries to kill Rajeshwari one last time. Akkamma comes in human form to Rajeshwari's rescue. In a series of events, Prasad wrongly suffers from sarp- matsya dosh, which Rajeshwari finally finishes with Akkamma's help. After that, her child is sacrificed, which the evil family misleads the villagers that Rajeshwari herself killed the child. Karkotakudu influences Prasad's family that Rajeshwari is bad luck and must be thrown out. The family then throws Rajeshwari out of the house. Meanwhile, the time arrives when Akkamma must go under arrest under supernatural powers in order to maintain balance of the universe. Then, Karkotakudu attacks on Prasad's soul, but Rajeshwari's pure faith and the power of wife's love (through haldi and kumkum) saves Prasad. However, Prasad's family members, in the influence of Karkotakudu, remove the sindoor and mangalsutra away from Rajeshwari and make her wear white clothes. This makes Rajeshwari symbolize a widow, although her husband is not dead. Finally, Rajeshwari, heartbroken, falsely ill-reputed and nowhere to go, takes shelter in Akkamma's temple. Karkotakudu arrives to kill Rajeshwari final time. Unfortunately, Akkamma, being under arrest, could not help her this time. She could only be free when a Simha Rashi sacrifices itself. Rajeshwari, tired of all bad things happening to her, jumps into the fire before Akkamma to commit suicide. As Rajeshwari was a Simha Rashi, Karkotakudu thinks that this might free Akkamma and she might kill him. Karkotakudu, with his powers, collects the knowledge that the supernatural powers do not accept a widow's sacrifice, and Rajeshwari at that time was symbolised as a widow. In order to symbolise Rajeshwari back as a married woman, other gods and goddesses donate materials like sindoor, mangalsutra, red saari, anklets, rings, etc., which would symbolise Rajeshwari back as a married woman. Finally, the sacrifice is accepted, and the arrest breaks off. With Akkamma's blessings and parabrahma, a divine energy is formed inside the fire, and Rajeshwari transforms into a divine Narasimhi (female form/consort of Lord Narasimha) She kills Karkotakudu with her mega divine superpowers, and everything finally becomes back to normal, with Rajeshwari returning back to normal human form. Akkamma appears and reveals that her child is not dead and that she took care of him when he was tried to sacrifice. She returns the child and leaves. Prasad comes, with his mental health recovered, and they leave happily ever after. The film ends with the message Jai Mata Di (hail the mother goddess). ===== ===== ===== In a flashback, Enid's (Katelyn Nacon) parents are killed by walkers while trying to change a fuse, in order to start their car. Locked in the now- bloodied car, Enid cries as she watches the walkers devour her parents. She escapes and wanders the woods alone, foraging for food and shelter, and hiding from and killing walkers. She repeatedly writes the letters "JSS" (in the dirt, using tortoise bones, and on a dusty window). Enid eventually stumbles upon Alexandria's gates. She initially starts to walk away, but then scrawls "JSS" on her hand and goes inside. In the present, Carol Peletier (Melissa McBride) collects ingredients from the pantry. Shelly (Susie Spear) complains about wanting a pasta maker. Carol offers to teach her to make hand-made pasta, if Shelly drops her cigarette habit. Carol returns home, where she sees Sam (Major Dodson) waiting for her and coldly tells him to get over Pete's death. Jessie Anderson (Alexandra Breckenridge) tries to give Ron (Austin Abrams) a haircut, but they get into an argument about Rick's role in Pete's death and Ron storms out. Meanwhile, Maggie Greene (Lauren Cohan) takes Deanna Monroe (Tovah Feldshuh) outside the walls to discuss expansion efforts, and urges her to get past Reg's death and become Alexandria's leader again. Eugene Porter (Josh McDermitt) and Tara Chambler (Alanna Masterson) head to the infirmary to get aspirin for Tara's headache and meet Denise Cloyd (Merritt Wever), Alexandria's replacement doctor. Denise confides to them that she is a psychiatrist, and as she has not practiced surgery since medical school, she feels unequipped to fill Pete's role. Carl Grimes (Chandler Riggs) takes a walk in his neighborhood, and sees Ron and Enid sitting together before being asked by Father Gabriel (Seth Gilliam) for self-defense lessons. Though reluctant, Carl tells him to come by to learn how to wield a machete. As Carol prepares a meal, she looks outside and sees Shelly being killed by a Wolf. All of a sudden, numerous Wolves scale Alexandria's walls and kill any Alexandrian they come across. Holly is mortally wounded in the attack. Carl fortifies himself inside his house with Judith. Enid comes by, expressing her intention to abandon Alexandria. Carl convinces her to stay. In the watch tower, Spencer Monroe (Austin Nichols) sees a truck approaching the fence and fires on it, killing the driver but inadvertently activating the truck's horn. He goes down to shut it off and runs into Morgan. Spencer informs Morgan (Lennie James) of the Wolf attack but is too scared to fight. As panic ensues, Carol quickly arms herself and kills several of the attackers, before disguising herself as a Wolf. Morgan meets up with Carol, (who takes Morgan prisoner as a ruse) and realizes that since the Wolves have no guns, they head for the armory in order to prevent the Wolves from looting it. Maggie leaves Deanna in Spencer's care before joining the battle. Carl rescues Ron from a Wolf, but Ron refuses to go inside the house with Carl and Enid. Jessie kills a Wolf who breaks into her house just as Ron enters the house. Morgan breaks off to save Father Gabriel, and Carol continues alone, killing many Wolves along the way. Carol secures the armory and distributes guns to the surviving Alexandrians. She executes a Wolf that Morgan had taken prisoner, and Morgan openly disagrees with Carol's belief that the Wolves must be killed. Morgan separates from the group again and runs into another group of Wolves, led by one he had previously encountered. However, Morgan convinces the Wolves to retreat by pointing out that the Alexandrians have guns and they do not. In the aftermath of the battle, Rosita (Christian Serratos) and Aaron (Ross Marquand) kill several Wolves, and upon inspecting one of the corpses, Aaron finds his backpack full of recruiting materials (which he'd left behind when escaping a zombie horde at the food factory) and realizes the Wolves found Alexandria because of him. Despite their best efforts, Denise is unable to save Holly. Denise tells Tara and Eugene that she wants to be left alone, and Tara reminds her to destroy Holly's brain. Meanwhile, Morgan is ambushed by the other Wolf (Benedict Samuel) he had previously encountered. The Wolf taunts Morgan for not killing him when he had the chance, and Morgan subdues him before knocking him unconscious. Carl finds a farewell note from Enid, that reads "Just Survive Somehow". Later, Morgan and Carol cross paths on the street but do not acknowledge one another. ===== ===== ===== The episode opens with the Simpsons visiting a Christmas tree lot early on Halloween, only to be locked in and ambushed by Sideshow Bob, the leprechaun from Treehouse of Horror XII, the ghost of Frank Grimes, and Kang.

The differences are aesthetic only. During a bug- collecting assignment assigned to students by a school in suburban Springdale, Nate Adams is jealous of classmate Barnaby "Bear" Berenstein's large stag beetle he caught, and decides to find another bug to rival him. Upon being prompted by the school's janitor to visit Mount Wildwood, Nate discovers an unusual capsule machine. He decides to take a capsule from it, and upon opening the capsule, frees a strange ghostly being. The being introduces himself as Whisper, and states that he is what is known as a Yo-kai. He gives Nate the Yo-kai Watch, a device used to find Yo-kai, and prompts Nate to use it. After Nate befriends two additional Yo-kai, Whisper further explains that Yo-kai are as abundant as humans; the only reason Nate could not comprehend them before being that they blend into their surroundings. Nate returns home with Whisper in tow, only to find that Nate's parents, Lily and Aaron Adams, are bickering over whether Aaron should fix dinner, and find that Dismeralda is the cause. She refuses to leave, but Nate and Whisper head to an intersection and find Jibanyan, who immediately joins them to fight Dismeralda. She is defeated, but her husband, Happiere, calls off the battle and makes up with Dismeralda. He also inspirits Lily and Aaron to allow them to make up, thus ending the conflict. The following day, Nate visits Katie to find her upset over the fact that she said things she never intended to say to her friend, causing the latter to shut down. Realizing that a Yo-kai is responsible, Nate finds Tattletell, and after befriending her, asks her to inspirit Katie once more to allow her to reconcile with her friend. With the issue resolved, Tattletell reveals why she inspirited Katie in the first place: a group of evil Yo-kai led by Slimamander had broken many seals, thus disrupting the link between the human and Yo-kai realms. With the help of the other Yo-kai thus far, Nate and Whisper defeat all of the evil Yo-kai and roll back the damage caused to the seals. Realizing how tough Slimamander was, Nate and Whisper decide to head to Timers and More, where the shopkeeper, a human- mimicking Yo-kai named Mr. Goodsight, agrees to upgrade Nate's Yo-kai Watch rank, but assigns him two specific tasks to complete beforehand. Nate befriends Baku while completing the first task, who proves the key in commencing out the second task: retrieving Mr. Goodsight's undergarment from the local spa at night. After narrowly evading an Oni attack along the way, they discover that Sproink has stolen the undergarment as a clothing item for himself. A battle ensues, and Nate emerges victorious, thus allowing him to return the undergarments to Mr. Goodsight to complete the watch upgrade.

Nate finds out about the ordeal, and he and Whisper decide to head to a riverside to find a kappa Yo-kai named Walkappa. They head to the lake and find the ring, only to disrupt another Yo-kai named SV Snaggerjag. After the ensuing battle, SV Snaggerjag reveals that he is the king of Catfish Pond, and he warned that the group was scaring off the catfish in the area. The ring is returned to Bear's mother, who reveals that it was not as valuable as was initially believed, relieving Nate, Whisper, Bear, and Walkappa. The following morning, Aaron Adams, on his way to work, accidentally leaves behind important documents at Sunshine Station thanks to a Yo-kai named Wazzat. Lily Adams is contacted and asks her son to head to the office so that he can return the documents. Nate and Whisper retrieve the documents and board the train with little trouble; however, they are soon ambushed by Wazzat.

He comes across a Yo-kai named Kyubi, who blackmails him into entering the construction zone at night. Nate and Whisper do so, meeting Komasan along the way. However, they find that Kyubi had been leading them to the real culprit all along: a Yo-kai known as Massiface. Nate and his Yo-kai team manage to defeat Massiface after a long battle, and the rumors stop. Nate then visits Eddie, and the two visit an art museum with Eddie's parents. Though they enjoy the museum, Eddie is distraught that he did not find the exhibit he was looking for. He asks Nate to accompany him in sneaking to the museum at night, which Nate agrees to. After being warped into the museum by a Yo-kai named Mirapo and evading the museum's security protocols, Nate is forced to battle Phantasmurai, a suit of armor that Eddie was trying to observe.

After a long battle, Nate is victorious, and joins his friends for a brief fireworks celebration. Whisper, however, becomes suspicious and asks Nate to return to the school to search for more clues. After being directed by Mr. Barton to the abandoned Nocturne Hospital, they find that the building has unusual Yo-kai activity. The source is eventually confirmed to be the evil Doctor Maddiman, of whom Nate is forced to battle. Maddiman is defeated, but not before revealing that he works for Squddilius McCracken, a dissident Yo-kai planning to take over the Yo-kai realm and destroy the human realm. Nate and Whisper are uneasy, but are given hope when a classmate of Nate's, Lucas, reveals that he is a Yo-kai himself, having been born from Enma, the true ruler of the Yo-kai realm. Nate and Whisper venture to the Yo- kai realm to seek answers. They encounter McCracken and seemingly defeat him. However, when they return to the human realm, they find that all of the seals are broken once more, McCracken has deployed his minions in the area, and Slimamander is once again awakened. Nate and the others manage to defeat all of McCracken's lackeys and restore the seals, but McCracken, refusing to give up, transforms into a giant beast. After a hard battle, Nate and his Yo-kai team defeat McCracken and banish him from the human realm for good. Whisper, knowing that more evil Yo-kai will attack the human realm, decides to close the elevator linking the two realms together; Nate, finally accepting their fate, reluctantly accepts, and all of the Yo-kai forcibly return to their realm, leaving Nate behind. Nate returns to his house as the credits roll, drawing a picture of his Yo-kai friends to remember them. In a post-credits scene, Nate notices Jibanyan on the edge of his house the following day.

Through trials and tribulations, the characters learn that life is a bittersweet journey of happiness and pain, and that as long as they lead a fulfilling life, their fears are insignificant. ===== It is October 2006, and the Northern Ireland peace process is debating a new agreement in St Andrews, Scotland. Ian Paisley and Martin McGuinness meet for the first time and the negotiations begin. Paisley, however, needs to return home to his wife in Northern Ireland for his 50th wedding anniversary. Bad weather closes the nearby airport, so it is suggested that Paisley be driven to another airport where a private jet will take him home. McGuinness allows the change in plans, but only if he travels in the car and plane with Paisley. The two enemies are then driven in a van for a number of hours. Unbeknownst to either of them, MI5 is listening in with a spy camera and microphone, and can communicate with the young driver, who is given leeway to speak to his passengers and encourage discussion. Paisley and McGuinness remain implacable to one another in defense of their past actions. Paisley sees McGuinness as a terrorist and murderer, while McGuinness sees Paisley as a man who used his influence and power to encourage violence. McGuinness, seeing his past actions as part of a broader civil war that might soon be over, continues to speak to Paisley in the hope that they can seal a permanent peace agreement. Meanwhile, back in St Andrews, Tony Blair and MI5 agents watch the conversation with interest. The driver is then instructed by MI5 to take a diversion into a forest. This, along with the departure of a security detail following the van, begins to raise suspicions in McGuinness. Suddenly the van driver hits the brakes and the vehicle slides into a stack of timber next to the road, piercing a tyre. The driver claims to have hit a deer, but McGuinness and Paisley see no blood on the front of the car. While McGuinness and Paisley wander in the woods and continue to talk, the driver speaks urgently to MI5 and reveals that he does not know how to change a flat tyre. In the woods, the two enemies continue to argue their points and defend their actions to one another. McGuinness also begins to wonder if their current situation had been planned, with the possibility that one or both of them might be assassinated in a forest in the middle of nowhere. The discovery of the fatally wounded deer confirms to them both that their situation was not planned. When encouraged to kill the dying animal by Paisley, McGuinness picks up a heavy rock but eventually refuses to do the deed, surprising Paisley. As the driver changes the tyre, the two then find their way to a disused Protestant church, where Paisley identifies various martyrs in the stained glass windows as being from Foxe's Book of Martyrs. They wander outside in a cemetery, and the topic of the Enniskillen bombing is brought up. Paisley rages at the IRA and McGuinness for the bombing, which killed innocent bystanders and not the soldiers that were being targeted. McGuinness admits that the bombing was wrong and that it caused the IRA to question its actions. He also reveals to Paisley the conversation he had with his young daughter about the bombing, and how it made him feel. Paisley responds viciously to McGuinness' honesty by claiming that he was crying crocodile tears. The heated argument convinces McGuinness that there is no point continuing, and he refuses to re-enter the van. Paisley then states that his own "bark" is worse than his "bite", which indicates to McGuinness that while Paisley may not be apologetic, he is at least conciliatory. The van drives off with both men inside. As the van gets nearer to the airport the driver realises they need fuel. They pull over at a service station but the driver's credit card no longer works since it was bent during the changing of the tyre. The driver asks McGuinness and Paisley if they have a credit card, but they do not. At an impasse and needing to hurry, Paisley enters the service station and uses his fame and his public speaking voice to convince the clerk to try the driver's card again. This time the clerk keys in the card number, successfully. McGuinness and Paisley then walk back to the van, where McGuinness notices a hidden pistol in the driver's belt and confronts him. The driver then admits that he is with MI5 and that he is there to protect them, that he is in touch with them the whole time, but that their agenda is peaceful and directed at getting the two to talk. McGuinness tries to tell Paisley this, but Paisley has collapsed inside the van with angina. McGuinness helps Paisley to retrieve his medication and settles him down. Reflecting upon the stained glass windows he saw in the church, Paisley then orders the van off the road and exits, speaking to McGuinness alone. He then speaks about how he saw himself as being a potential martyr for his cause but here he was at age 81 having suffered no violence upon himself at all. McGuinness encourages this line of thought, and tells him that if peace should come, Paisley's people will hate Paisley, and McGuinness' people would hate McGuinness, and that would be a courageous act. The van enters a secure part of the airport and stops in a hangar with a private jet and a heavily armed security detail. The driver offers them a minute in private, which they accept, so the driver leaves. Paisley then issues an ultimatum to McGuinness: he will support the peace process and sign the accords if McGuinness offers an apology to him for all the actions of the IRA. McGuinness refuses, saying that he plays "the long game" and that any apology he might offer Paisley privately would go against everything he stands for, so he apologises for nothing. At this, Paisley smiles and praises McGuinness for being a real politician and never apologising. Paisley then says that he despises everything that McGuinness has done, but offers his hand. McGuinness says that he despises everything Paisley stands for, and the two shake hands as friends: the peace process is sealed. The film ends with actual pictures of Paisley and McGuinness working and smiling together as first and deputy ministers of Northern Ireland. ===== Alex Lowe reaches Max Ellison's room in the hospital, who has gotten an infection from the measles, prompting the doctors to ask his mother to sign a DNR.

As the chase begins, the criminals break into the International Bank and steal some bags of gold. They escape through a transom and finally arrive in a theatre's costume storage room, where they disguise themselves as tourists. The thieves, hiding their everyday clothes, attempt to catch a train in their new disguises, and just manage to catch hold of the end of the last car. The pursuing policemen order a special train so they can continue tailing Macaire and Bertrand. Just as the chase reaches an out-of-the-way village, an earthquake begins. Thieves and police alike are hurled into the air and fly through the clouds over France. Finally, Macaire and Bertrand manage to land by clinging to a chimney. The knockabout chase resumes in the house below, to the chagrin of its owners. At length, Macaire and Bertrand throw the police off the scent and hide in a nearby farm. Their cover is lifted when Bertrand, mistaking a policeman's hat and cloak for the policeman himself, makes a loud noise and attracts the attention of the police officers. In the ensuing fight, both Macaire and Bertrand fall to the ground dead. The police shed a collective tear for the tragic demise of their two enemies. When the police leave, Macaire and Bertrand get up unharmed; they had faked their deaths. The chief police officer, returning to the scene to write a report of the event, is just in time to see them escape, and chases them to an open area where a gas balloon is about to launched. Macaire and Bertrand jump into the balloon and escape upward. The chief officer is momentarily hooked on the balloon's anchor, but quickly falls to earth. The police officers make one final attempt to catch the balloon by climbing to the top of the July Column, but they are showered with sand from the balloon's ballast bags.

They are then taken to inhabited planets outside the Federation of Independent Worlds and left with the IPR teams already there. Farrari joins the IPR team on Branoff IV, where he uses his training to organize the data that the explorers and observers bring in pertaining to the native Branovians. While examining a picture of a tapestry recently hung in the city of Scorv, capital of the medieval-like kingdom of Scorvif, Farrari discerns that the kru, the god-emperor of Scorvif, has died. Enthusiastically, the other occupants of the base prepare to observe the drama of succession in the opaque native society, the first that they have ever observed. Because he made the discovery, Farrari must go to Scorvif to be interviewed by field agents. Going in native disguise, he ends up working in a bakery in Scorv, one surreptitiously owned and operated by the IPR. The bakery gets an order to provide a special cake for the new kru and Farrari is drafted to play the role of the apprentice who carries the cake while the baker presents it. Through a comedy of errors Farrari ends up presenting the cake himself and committing an act that makes him a legend in Scorv, an omen from the Gods, who have apparently granted the kru a long reign and eternal glory. Farrari’s later disappearance from the temple only cements his role in native folklore. After escaping from the temple, Farrari returns to the bakery and thence to the IPR base to be debriefed. On his next field assignment Farrari must accompany Liano Kurne as her servant. Clairvoyant, she goes into the field as a shaman and has chosen Farrari to go with her. As the slave of a shaman, Farrari can observe the slave communities that Liano visits and he tries to discern the slaves’ culture. Then Farrari makes a mistake that gets him sent back to base and Liano gets a new slave. Some time later Liano disappears. Farrari himself, still disguised as a slave, contrives to disappear and goes to live among the slaves. One night he meets a slave who turns out to be an IPR agent who calls himself Bran, an agent who disappeared years ago and was given up for dead. Working together, Bran and Farrari try to find ways to free the slaves, but nothing they do will get the slaves to stand up for themselves. The two Terrans conclude that the slaves adhere to a death cult and that they worship the people who abuse them. While attacking a unit of the kru’s cavalry, Bran is killed and Farrari wounded. Taken to a cave to be buried like any other slave, Farrari is rescued by Liano, who disappears again. At loose ends and not wanting to return to base, Farrari manipulates the slaves into forming something resembling an army on the march. The slavedrivers and their families flee in panic and even the kru’s cavalry won’t attack the slaves. But the slaves absolutely won’t fight, so Farrari is at a loss as to what to do next. He decides to exploit the panic that he has sown by taking a loaf of bread to the kru. In the temple the kru and the priests are flabbergasted when they recognize him and even more astounded when he challenges the kru to ensure better treatment for the slaves. After leaving Scorv he sees a slavedriver disperse his army with a single word and he believes that his work is done. Back at base Farrari soon discovers the mistake he made in believing that he could bring freedom to the slaves. He had already noticed that the slaves had no culture. Now he understands that the slaves are actually little more than animals, comparable, perhaps, to Australopithecus or Homo erectus on the human lineage. This is the first time that IPR has encountered a sub-human species on the verge of achieving sentience, so the scientists at the base and in the field intend to study the slaves intensely. Farrari and Liano go back into the field themselves, intending to try, ever so gently, to get the slaves to develop a simple culture. ===== The film follows the adversarial relationship between a father and son, both incurably emotional.

Involved in little more than her studies, Brooke notices Grace's hope-filled attitude, and asks where Grace finds her optimism. Grace replies "Jesus", and Brooke begins to read the Bible for herself. As Grace lectures on Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr., Brooke asks whether their peaceful teachings relate to the biblical account of the Sermon on the Mount. Grace responds in the affirmative, and relates parts of scripture to his teachings. One student immediately texts his parents about the class, and the ensuing backlash draws the ire of Principal Kinney. She reprimands Grace, saying that the teacher's faith clouded her judgment. Grace is subsequently brought before the School Board, who inform her that legal action will be taken against her as she has violated the separation of church and state. Grace's case draws the attention of Tom Endler, a defense attorney who is willing to aid her despite being an unbeliever himself. After speaking to his friend Josh, Martin Yip, a college student, visits Pastor David Hill (David A. R. White) to ask him several questions about God. Former left-wing blogger Amy Ryan goes to the hospital and finds out that her cancer has miraculously vanished. She talks to Michael Tait of the Newsboys, who encourages her, stating that with faith, prayers can be answered. Amy ponders this, and later makes her blog a diary about her adventures with God. The School Board brings Grace's case before a judge in Little Rock, Arkansas, hoping to secure her termination and strip her of her teaching license unless she issues an apology, which Grace refuses to do. To Brooke's horror, prosecutor Pete Kane declares that the lawsuit will "prove once and for all that God is dead". His opening argument suggests that the society of the United States will crumble should Grace fail to be found guilty. Endler defends the idea that Jesus was a literal historical figure and thus an appropriate subject of classroom debate. Christian apologist J. Warner Wallace is called as an expert witness, along with Lee Strobel, to defend the idea. Brooke is allowed as a witness. Kane tricks her into admitting that it was Grace and not Brooke who initiated their first conversation about Jesus. As Grace becomes more and more discouraged, Brooke and her friends sing her a song in an attempt to build up her spirits. Martin visits David in the hospital with his friend Jude, and announces that he feels his call is as a pastor in China. Using a tactic to position Grace as a hostile witness, Endler gets the judge to inform the jury not to let their bias or prejudices interfere with their verdict. The jury ultimately finds in favor of Grace, who rejoices along with Brooke and Endler as Kane stands humiliated. At one point, a character delivers a explanation of what Martin Luther King meant in his famous letter from the Birmingham jail, which he does to the African-American principal of the school (Robin Givens). In a post-credits scene, a fully recovered David is arrested by the police for failing to turn in his sermons to the government, shown earlier in the film. Jude and Martin watch as David is taken away. Then, Martin wonders what to do next, and Jude replies "Same as always, Martin. We pray in faith." as David is driven off to jail, setting up the events for God's Not Dead: A Light in Darkness. ===== The story is told with two narrative devices—reports from members of the crew of the U.S. Starship Constitution alternating with a traditional third-person narration of the activities back on Earth. The main protagonist of the activities on Earth is Dr. Dieter von Knefhausen, the scientist in charge of the U.S. space program. In the first report from the starship, the reader learns that the ship is approximately one month into a multi-year journey to the Alpha Centauri star system, where the crew will begin colonization of the planet Alpha-Aleph. Already, the crew is finding they have too much free time and have begun filling that time by studying various problems in mathematics. In the first narration of the action on Earth, the reader learns that society has become dystopian. The possibility of colonizing Alpha-Aleph is a source of hope for a better future. As the story progresses, the reader is told that the existence of the planet Alpha-Aleph is a hoax, perpetrated not only on the American people but also on the crew of the starship. The true purpose of the mission is to place the crew in a position where they will have nothing to do other than study mathematics. The hoax was the idea of Knefhausen, who believes that, if deprived of any other means of recreation, the crew will succeed in making scientific breakthroughs that will then be broadcast back to Earth. Knefhausen's theory proves true, but he learns that the crew quickly becomes bored with technological applications of their new-found mathematical prowess. Instead, they become increasingly interested in using it to develop their understanding of art and philosophy. These new understandings give the crew an unusual control over the physical universe and, by the end of the story, they have achieved god-like powers. Two recurring mathematical themes in the story are Carnap-Ramsey sentencesCarnap statements are introduced in the section titled "Constitution Three", and are mentioned again in "Constitution Four" and "Constitution Five" (at pages 345, 353 and 358 of the Platinum Pohl collection ). and Godel encoding. Godel encoding first appears in the "Constitution Four" section (at page 352 of the Platinum Pohl collection ), but is discussed more fully in the "Washington Four" section (starting at page 354 of Platinum Pohl). The word "starbow" in the story's title is a word coined by one of the characters on the starship. It refers to the rainbow-like effect seen when stars are undergoing a relativistic Doppler effect.The coining takes place in the fourth and fifth paragraphs of the section titled "Constitution Four" (which starts at page 351 in the Platinum Pohl collection ()). ===== ===== Halt and Crowley are journeying together in the woods of Gorlan Fief. They leave the fief and travel to a nearby village for the night. While at the village, they learn that Prince Duncan is supposedly raiding villages with a gang of men. Halt and Crowley then travel to another village, where they save the inhabitants from foreign invaders angry about Duncan's raiding. While at the village, Halt and Crowley later hear a raid by Duncan, where they realize that the "Duncan" is an impostor. After leaving the village, they intercept one of Morgarath's messengers, and discover through letters a list of 12 Rangers to be dismissed and that the real Duncan is being held captive at Castle Wildriver, while the fake Duncan was actually someone named Tiller. Halt and Crowley then travel to recruit the 12 Rangers, intending to capture Tiller and rescue the King and Duncan, and then reveal Morgarath's schemes at a tournament. They ultimately manage to recruit 11, since 1 Ranger was murdered, as well as Baron Arald, a baron who had defeated Morgarath in a major tournament and wielded significant influence among the barons. This would give the Rangers more political power if Morgarath had a trial. While traveling towards Castle Wildriver, the Rangers reunite with the old Ranger Pritchard. The story not only serves as an introduction for the early Rangers Corps, but it brings new life to characters mentioned in The Ruins of Gorlan and The Burning Bridge that ultimately lead to Will Treaty joining the team and beginning his great adventure. ===== ===== ===== ===== A man goes walking and gets redrawn as a series of other shapes and figures.WorldCat.org ===== Assunta, is a young girl working in a luxe hotel where is a troubled meeting of leaders of the Football Association.

Kipling had formerly known McPhee as the chief engineer of the Breslau, a vessel of the shipping firm of Holdock, Steiner and Chase. Visiting him years later, he finds McPhee has come into a great fortune, and learns his story: In a bid to gain custom and save money, the company decided to decrease their running time across the Atlantic; McPhee, rightly seeing this as senseless risk of lives, protested and was sacked in consequence. He was then employed by the manager of a rival firm, McRimmon of McNaughton and McRimmon. When McPhee discovered that his old firm had stopped repairing their ships, and reported to his new employer that their Grotkau, or Hoor of Babylon as he termed her, was setting to sea with a cracked propeller-shaft, McRimmon sent him out in one of his own steamers to follow the Hoor. As expected, the ship got into difficulties, and signaled a nearby liner to rescue them. As the liner was not allowed to tow the ship, McPhee and his crew waited darkly in the background until the vessel had been cleared; then, abandoned, the Hoor was salvage at the mercy of the first comer. McPhee towed the vessel to England, finding on the way that someone, probably disgusted at the squalid conditions aboard and preferring to abandon ship, had purposefully opened the turncocks and flooded the engine room. On McPhee's return to shore with the hulk and her valuable cargo, he and his wife received twenty-five thousand pounds sterling, and left the oceans. McRimmon's anti-Semitism is evident in the story. He refers to the Jewish director of the old firm, Steiner, as "Judeeas Apella"Apella 1906 text of The Jewish Encyclopedia. Retrieved 15 April 2018. and "yon conversational Hebrew", and the firm Holdock, Steiner and Chase as "that Jew-firm".

On a flight from Salt Lake City to Los Angeles, his aircraft hits a thick bank of fog. Reynolds and his co-pilot, Al Williams (Kane Richmond), are told by their dispatcher to re-route to Saugus, California, but Brad safely lands in Los Angeles anyway. Jim Howell (Preston Foster), the Southwestern representative for the Civil Aeronautics Authority (CAA), and Brad's old nemesis, suspends Brad for 60 days who angrily quits.

Meanwhile, the CAA begins a Civilian Pilot Training Program at selected universities, with local airports being used. Unknown to Brad, Jim Howell convinces Riverdale banker Crandall (Douglas Wood) to back Brad's airport, as nearby Western Institute of Technology is chosen. Brad becomes an instructor and begins selecting and training his students. Transferring to Western from Texas State is Tommy Howell (Robert Shaw), Jim's little brother. Skip, unable to get his sister's permission to fly, becomes Tommy's roommate, and arranges a meeting between Brad and Ann. Skip is allowed to take a ground crew course. During flight training, Tommy admits to Brad that he is afraid to fly and does so only to please his older brother. Brad gives Tommy early morning lessons in secret. Jim thinks that Brad is unfair to his brother, but during one of Tommy's secret lessons, the aircraft's oil line breaks. Brad is forced to knock him out in order to release his hands on the throttle. Tommy, thinking the aircraft is crashing, parachutes out over a cavernous mountain range. Brad lands the aircraft safely and convinces a farmer to drive him back to the airport.

Ragnall, whose brother Sigtryggr is married to Uhtred's daughter Stiorra, has been driven out of Ireland by the natives to seek less fiercely defended lands. Ragnall's supporters include Jarl Haesten, Uhtred's longtime foe, as well as a single crew of Irishmen led by Conall, the brother of Finan, Uhtred's second-in-command. Æthelflaed, the ruler of Mercia, brings reinforcements. Ragnall captures the partially built burh of Eads Byrig and demands they cede Ceaster to him, but Uhtred knows Ceaster's fortifications are very strong. Then Ragnall unexpectedly turns north to seize the bordering kingdom of Northumbria from its weak king, his plan all along. Uhtred guesses his intention and mauls Ragnall's rearguard, but is initially happy to see Ragnall leave Mercia. Haesten, left in charge of Ragnall's garrison at Eads Byrig, bargains with Æthelflaed to surrender to her, claiming he and most of his men are Christians, but Uhtred realises he is only buying time for Ragnall to recruit Northumbrian warriors to lead back into Mercia. Uhtred attacks and captures Eads Byrig. He then orders Æthelstan to fight Haesten, over Æthelflaed and her priests' objections. Uhtred proves that Haesten lied about everything, then has Æthelstan finish him off. Ragnall returns in a few days with an enlarged army. In revenge for his 43 men killed at Eads Byrig, he kills 42 captives within sight of Uhtred, then gives him one alive: Uhtred's elder, estranged son, Father Oswald. Oswald has been castrated by Brida, Uhred's first lover, now his bitter foe. Uhtred, with Æthelflaed's reluctant authorisation, launches a surprise attack and catches Ragnall's men unprepared, killing hundreds of enemy warriors and capturing many horses, women and children. Harassed by raiding parties, Ragnall splits his force in two. The smaller part heads north, probably to Eoferwick to ensure that Northumbria stays firmly under Ragnall's control, while Ragnall himself leads the rest deeper into Mercia to placate his men after his setbacks with plundering and pillaging. Having received word that his daughter Stiorra and son-in-law Sigtryggr are besieged because they did not support Ragnall's invasion. Uhtred takes a couple of days to sail to Ireland and rescue them, disobeying Æthelflaed's orders. Uhtred offers to make Sigtryggr king of Northumbria, in part to further his own lifelong ambition of regaining Bebbanburg. They head toward Eoforwik, sneaking in by pretending to bring Stiorra (whom Ragnall wants for his fifth wife) in as a prisoner. They find Brida in charge. She is waging war against Christianity, and they are horrified to see 34 people crucified. Uhtred overthrows her and lets Stiorra kill Brida. They also free hostages Ragnall has taken to ensure allied jarls remain loyal to him. Uhtred then takes his men in search of Ragnall, sending word to Æthelflaed, asking her to bring her forces and hopefully trap Ragnall's army between them. However, her field commander does not do as Uhtred wants, and Uhtred finds himself trapped and greatly outnumbered in the ruins of an old Roman fort. Before the battle, Finan goes out to challenge his brother to a duel. First, he kills Conall's huge champion easily. Then he confronts his brother. When Conall refuses to fight, Finan turns his back. Conall attacks, but Finan is prepared and bests (but does not kill) his brother. He turns his back again, with the same result. This time Finan takes Conall's crown, before riding the length of the enemy line and heading back. Next, Uhtred has Sigtryggr bring out and set free the eight women Ragnall had taken hostage. These two actions undermine Ragnall's authority. So when Ragnall orders his men to advance, only about half do so. Seeing this, Uhtred orders his own men to charge out of their fortifications, yelling the silly war cry, "For Mus, the best whore in Britain! For Mus!" His men laugh and follow him. This does the trick. Most of Ragnall's men turn against him, and he is defeated and killed. ===== The film is set against the backdrop of the Algerian War. A determined French commander, who believes Algeria belongs to France, must deal with a soldier who rebels when asked to execute an Algerian freedom fighter.

The name on her coffin is "M. Savage", leading her to be called "Em" by most characters. She helps another girl, whose name is T. Spingate, out of her coffin, and they help four other people out. None of them remember anything, even their names. Each person has a circular marking on their head. Finding dead bodies in the other coffins, the six teenagers leave the room. Em becomes their leader. They walk through desolate halls filled with human bones and corpses, slowly remembering things about their lives. This goes on for some time. A boy from the group, named Yong, tries to attack Em and take her leadership position; she ends up killing him. The group continues on, trying to find the exit to what they believe to be an underground prison. They eventually meet another group, which is much larger, and is led by a violent boy named Bishop. He tries to threaten Em into giving up her power, but she stands her ground, and the two groups vote to put her in charge of them both. She leads the now-enlarged group through more hallway. They find bodies and skeletons littering the floors, entire rooms filled with corpses, bodies hanging from ceilings, and so on. After a while more of walking, Em, Bishop, and a few other characters find a boar, which ends up leading them far away from the rest of the group. During the hunt, a group of boars end up killing and eating an injured girl named Latu, and Em finds an enormous room filled with trees, grass, and water. The group goes into the room and rests there for a while. Latu is buried, and everyone gets their energy back up. While Em and another girl, Bello, are in a remote part of the room, Bello is snatched and dragged away by humanoid monsters. Em and Bishop fight with the creatures, killing one; the other is revealed to be Em's creature counterpart. The group finds that they're right back where they began, and they've been walking in an enormous circle the entire time. Em and a few other characters trace back to find a room they previously entered, which they believe may hold important information. A hologram appears; it resembles the monsters that took Bello in the forest room. It reveals that the monsters are actually rotting human beings who should've died a long time ago, and that they're on a spaceship flying away from a dying Earth toward a new planet. The humans are told that they were created and grown in the coffins to be avatars for the creatures: receptacles for their consciousnesses, made to live on the new planet in place of the creatures, who can't breathe the new planet's air. The creature in the hologram says he is against the idea of using humans as avatars, and he tells them to get back to their group and find the shuttle that will take them to the new planet. He also says he'll release dozens of children from the coffins, so that the teenagers can take them on the shuttle to safety as well. Another creature, however, takes over the hologram. She turns out to be Em's counterpart, and her name, M. Savage, stands for Matilda Savage. Matilda supports the idea of using humans as avatars, and she tells the humans that she and the other creatures are coming to stop them from leaving. The hologram transmission ends soon after, and the characters in the room rush back to the main group. They find hordes of twelve-year-olds: the children released by the first creature. Em informs everyone of what's happening, and the group rushes to find the shuttle. By now, they've taken Matilda hostage, and they force her to lead them to the shuttle. When they get there, they find that the army Matilda promised to send has arrived, but almost everyone is able to get in the shuttle regardless. Only two characters die, Matilda is dumped outside the shuttle entrance, and everyone else ends up safe within the shuttle. Alive ends with the shuttle leaving the spaceship, flying toward the new planet. ===== Dukhu Mia (Farooque) is a stage performer and his brother Kader Lathial (Anwar Hossain) works for Matbor (Obaidul Haque Sarkar).

There he meets an Englishwoman, Ruth Williams, whom he eventually marries, despite the protests of both their families and opposition from the British government, which is concerned about relations with South Africa and the stability of the entire region of southern Africa. The National Party government in South Africa fears that the marriage of a black king to a white woman in neighboring Bechuanaland will inspire unrest, as it was in the process of making such a marriage illegal, and demands that the British government prevents the marriage, as do the governments of South West Africa and Rhodesia. Khama's uncle, the Regent, also asks Khama to end his marriage and instead marry a Bamangwato princess, which Khama rejects. The British administrators use the dispute to argue that the marriage is causing unrest. Seretse discovers that the British have allowed a US mining corporation to prospect for precious stones, and is eager to make sure that, if anything is found, the exploitation of the country's resources should solely be done by the people of Bechuanaland.

When they arrive at the tribe's village, however, they find that the contact and most of the men of the tribe have been slaughtered by gold prospectors, who are also looking for the Imas and their treasure. The four friends decide that they must stop these gold hunters (Alessandri) before they reach the Imas. A young tribal girl, Kuwala (Quintero), also knows where to find the Imas, and agrees to take them there if they help rescue her sister, who was kidnapped by the prospectors. While at the village, they rescue a leopard from a tiger trap. When they set out again, the group meets a river snake fisherman (Maunsell). He gives them shelter for the night if they help him catch anacondas. Jemma must also fight off unwanted advances from the fisherman. The next morning, they fly off and finally locate the gold prospectors' camp. They sneak in and overpower the men in one cabin to rescue Kuwala's sister (D'Arc), but are captured shortly afterwards. All five are taken to the camp's leader, who turns out to be Juan Garcia. Garcia threatens to have the men's penises bitten off by a snake if Kuwala doesn't tell him where the Imas are located. Kuwala agrees, and tells him that the Imas are on an "island in the shape of a ring, where three rivers meet. It's called 'The Island of the Imas.'" At that moment, the other four fight back against their captors and escape with Kuwala and her sister. They steal a barrel of gasoline and two canoes, tie the canoes to the plane, and the plane drags the excess of people down river. While setting up their next camp site, Kuwala's sister is taken by the river current and begins to drown. Mark flies the plane down the river, while Fred barefoot skis behind it to save her, only for Fred and the others to be caught by child smugglers (Corazzari), except for Mark, who escapes in the aircraft. The smugglers drug the children they kidnap from local tribes and ship them to various buyers, who want to harvest their organs. Mark returns to set fire to some bushes outside the smugglers' hideout, smoking them out. The others rescue the children and escape back into the jungle. During the escape, however, Jemma is bitten by a venomous snake. Kuwala guides them to another local tribe, where they use their tribal medicine to restore Jemma to health. After partaking in a tribal ritual, they get back on their way. The group locates the Island of the Imas, only to find that the gold prospectors have beaten them there. Fred, Mark, and Pete head onto the island, while the others stay behind. There they find several mutilated bodies, tortured to death by the prospectors, two of whom they find and overcome, taking their weapons. They then become embroiled in a battle between the tribe and the intruders, in which the hunters are finally outnumbered and slaughtered. In the aftermath, they find Professor Korenz, who has been adopted into the tribe. Jemma and the others make their way to the reunion, where Professor Korenz reveals that the tribe is not the Imas, who do not even exist. Jemma, however, after taking several photographs of the tribe, tells the professor that they should leave and claim that they have, in fact, discovered the Imas tribe, for fame and funding when they return home. They betray Pete, Mark, and Fred, by stealing the aircraft and flying back without them, so there would be no one to refute their "discovery" of the Imas. Years later, Jemma and Professor Korenz return to bring back the three men they had left behind. Pete then narrates the eventual fates of the rest of the group: the professor is back in the Amazon, Jemma is a successful journalist, Mark is an airline pilot, Fred opened a water skiing school, and Pete is a doctor and bandleader in the Mediterranean. ===== Based on the Brothers Grimm story of "Snow-White and Rose-Red", this novel tells the story of 15-year-old motherless Liga, who has been repeatedly raped by her father.

Aboard the steamer are two other passengers he meets, fellow journalists with whom he spends his time. During a thick fog, the pilot experienced an unusual difficulty in steering, owing to strong unnatural currents, which have apparently been caused by a volcanic eruption in the seabed. A resultant colossal wave nearly upsets their vessel, sinking another nearby, and also spews up a great sea monster from the deeps, mortally wounded. It first manifests as an eerie white face, blind and framed in the fog, and the three journalists look on bemused as the monster’s mate surfaces, watches him die, and sinks down again to the seabed. When the sea is quiet again, the three journalists discuss how they can present this astonishing fact to the public. The Dutch journalist, Zuyland, determines to treat the matter in cool scientific fashion, “giving approximate lengths and breadths, and the whole list of the crew whom he had sworn on oath to testify to his facts”. However, both he and Kipling soon discard their accounts, realising that their story will never be credited as a simple fact. The American journalist, Keller, also realises the futility of presenting such a story to the cynical public, and in the end Kipling tells them he will print the story as a piece of fiction, where it will get a better reception. Truth, he says, “is a naked lady, and if by accident she is drawn up from the bottom of the sea, it behoves a gentleman either to give her a print petticoat or to turn his back and vow that he did not see”. ===== ===== William Andrews, a Harvard student in the early 1870s, is not happy with the mundanities of everyday life. After becoming inspired by the poetry and philosophy of Ralph Waldo Emerson, he decides to leave his home in Boston and spend some time in the wilderness. While he is there, he hopes to discover who he really is. Andrews travels across the country and finds his way to Butcher's Crossing, a tiny frontier town on the Kansas plains which is supported mostly by the business of local hunters and cattle ranchers, and which eagerly awaits the economic prosperity promised by the construction of a railroad through the town. Andrews seeks out J.D. McDonald, an old acquaintance of his father's, and finds him running a lucrative business in the trade of buffalo hides on the edge of town. McDonald offers Will a job doing paperwork for him, but Will turns him down, explaining that he's looking for a different kind of experience in the West; McDonald chastises him for his youthful idealism and naiveté, but points him to a local hunter named Miller. Miller is a seasoned mountain man and expert buffalo hunter and talks Andrews into joining him on a hunting trip. Miller claims to have stumbled upon a remote mountain vale in Colorado years ago, where a rare buffalo herd lives that few people have ever seen and which therefore promises a big payout. Andrews agrees to finance the trip, if only because he is looking for adventure. Miller leaves behind Andrews and Charley Hoge, Miller's one-armed wagon driver, as he takes Andrews' money to Ellsworth to buy supplies. Hoge is a quiet and pious Christian and a fierce alcoholic who proves a challenge in conversation since he seems almost single-mindedly focused on his Bible and his whiskey; he likes to say Bible verses aloud, but Andrews believes that he knows all that he needs to about God. While Andrews waits for Miller to return, he sits in his hotel room and contemplates his life and the natural world around him. He meets a prostitute named Francine who is attracted to him, but Andrews is unnerved by his perceptions of her profession and refuses to sleep with her. Miller eventually returns with a hired skinner named Fred Schneider, who will make the fourth member of the group, and the expedition quickly departs Butcher's Crossing to reach the mountains before winter. Relying solely on Miller's memory of the trail and knowledge of the landscape, the group cuts overland, off the blazed trail, as Miller insists on his ability to find water, to the annoyance of Schneider, who had argued for following the river. The expedition almost fails after several days without water, but on the third day, they find a stream. The group finally arrives in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains and Miller leads them to a scarcely used trail that takes them over a pass and into the hidden valley he had promised. They immediately see that the pristine valley is filled with an enormous herd of buffalo, numbering in the thousands. They set up a base camp and quickly begin the hunt. Miller carefully plans a systematic extermination that will prevent the herd from breaking up into smaller herds or escaping the valley; he serves as the primary rifler while Andrews and Schneider work at skinning the hides from the fallen corpses and Charley Hoge picks up the hides in the wagon. Andrews is at first appalled and sickened by the mass slaughter, by the reduction of the noble buffalo to skinless and fly-ridden hunks of meat, but as the days pass he is inured to the sight and smell of death. He also becomes more proficient as an outdoorsman and skinner. Though the valley floor is soon littered with the corpses of the beasts and the group collects many more hides than they can carry with them back to Butcher's Crossing, Miller becomes obsessed with killing every single buffalo, and he often kills as many as a hundred a day. Reveling in the slaughter, the men lose track of time. Miller insists that the group remain in the valley until the entire herd is exterminated, but while blocking the escape of several small herds trying to leave the valley, a massive blizzard buries the valley in snow. Without time to build a more suitable shelter, the men nearly freeze to death and are forced to fashion crude sleeping bags out of raw buffalo hides. After several days of incessant snowfall, the expedition realizes that they are stranded until the snow melts and the pass becomes usable again–which means they will be waiting until the spring, very likely a duration of six to eight months. Throughout the winter, each man retreats into himself: Charley ceases to do his job, Schneider talks only to himself, and Miller hunts and disappears into the forest for entire days. Eventually, the winter recedes and the group manages to recapture the oxen and horses which they had allowed to go wild over the winter, and loads up half the hides on the wagon, to return for the rest later in the year. The men manage to force the rickety load back over the pass and return to the plains, but soon come to a river swollen with the spring snowmelt. As Schneider and Charley Hoge cautiously lead the team across, a large log floats downriver, knocking Schneider's horse off its feet and spilling the precariously balanced wagon into the river. Schneider is killed when his flailing horse kicks him in the head and he drowns, and all of the hides are lost to the fast-moving waters. Devastated, Andrews, Miller, and Charley Hoge return to Butcher's Crossing, but find the town mostly deserted: the hotels and saloons are unused, entire buildings have disappeared, and the few faces occupying them are all different. McDonald, who had offered to buy their furs upon their return, no longer runs his business and the men later find him sleeping in an abandoned building. He tells them that his business was ruined when the market for buffalo hides fell through while they were gone, and that all of their work has been worthless. The railroad ended up being constructed fifty miles to the north of town, and Butcher's Crossing is dying. McDonald criticizes Andrews for not listening to him, but again offers him the chance to work with him back in Boston. Andrews again refuses. Miller spirals into depression, eventually burning McDonald's stockpiled buffalo hides and riding into the night, followed by Charley Hoge. Andrews begins a brief relationship with Francine before leaving her most of his money and riding away from town. ===== Married chorus girl rides scandal to stardom. ===== In the burnt-out remains of a large house, Him, an acclaimed poet struggling with writer's block, places a crystal object on a pedestal in his study. The ruined house morphs into a lovely home in an edenic landscape. In bed, mother, the poet's wife and muse, awakens and wonders aloud where Him is. While renovating the house, she starts seeing things that unsettle her, including visualizing a beating heart within its walls. One day, a stranger referred to as man turns up at the house, asking for a room and claiming to be a local doctor. Him readily agrees, and mother reluctantly follows suit. During his stay, man suffers coughing fits and mother observes an open wound in his side. Soon man's wife, woman, also arrives to stay. Mother is increasingly frustrated with her guests, but Him begs her to let them stay, revealing that man is a fan whose dying wish was to meet Him. However, when man and woman accidentally shatter the crystal object, which Him had forbidden them to touch, mother kicks them out and Him boards up his study. Before man and woman can leave, their two sons arrive and fight over their father's will. The oldest son, who will be left with nothing, severely wounds the younger brother and flees. Him, man, and woman take the injured son for help. Alone in the house, mother follows a trail of blood to find a tank of heating oil hidden behind the basement walls. Upon returning, Him informs mother the son has died. Dozens of people arrive at the house to honor the dead son. They behave in rude and presumptuous ways that irritate mother; she snaps when they break a sink, partially flooding the house. She orders everyone out and berates Him for allowing so many people inside while ignoring her needs. Their argument ends in passionate lovemaking. The next morning, mother announces she is pregnant. The news elates Him and inspires Him to finish his work. Mother prepares for the arrival of their child and reads Him's beautiful new poem. Upon publication, it immediately sells out every copy. In celebration, mother prepares a big dinner, but a group of fans arrives at the house before they can eat. She asks Him to send them away, but he insists he has to be polite and show his appreciation, and tells her he will return soon. Mother tries to lock the doors, but more fans arrive and enter the house, where many begin to use the toilet. They start stealing things as souvenirs and damaging the house, but Him is oblivious due to the adulation he is receiving. Hundreds of people fill the house and an increasingly disoriented mother watches it devolve into chaos. Military forces battle a cult of frenzied fans who tear rooms apart and engage in religious rituals. Amidst gunfire and explosions, the herald, the poet's publicist, organizes mass executions. Mother goes into labor and finds Him. He takes her to his study, which he reopens so she can give birth there. The havoc outside subsides. Him tells mother his fans want to see their newborn son; she refuses and holds her son tightly. When she falls asleep, however, Him takes their child outside to the crowd, which passes the baby around wildly until his neck is inadvertently snapped. Mother wades into the crowd where she sees people eating her son's mutilated corpse. Furious, she calls them murderers and stabs them with a shard of glass. They turn on her, viciously beating and attempting to strangle her until Him intervenes. He implores mother to forgive them, but she escapes, makes her way to the basement oil tank, and punctures it with a pipe wrench. Despite her husband's pleas, she sets the oil alight; it explodes, destroying the crowd, the house, and the surrounding environment. Mother and Him survive; she is horrifically burned while Him is completely unscathed. He asks for her love and she agrees. He tears open her chest and removes her heart. As he crushes the heart with his hands, a new crystal object is revealed. He places it on its pedestal and, once again, the house is transformed from a burnt-out shell into a beautiful home. In bed, a new Mother appears and wakes up, wondering aloud where Him is. ===== ===== Andrew Poole (Roland Young) has lost his wealth in the Depression.

After some illegally imported caesium-137 is stolen, Nate is recruited by Angela Zamparo, a fellow FBI agent, who suspects the involvement of white supremacist groups. Through Zamparo's connections, Foster is introduced to a small group of Neo- Nazis led by Vince Sargent, a local leader who is familiar with their prime suspect, conservative talk radio host Dallas Wolf. Wolf, a figurehead in the movement for his incendiary rhetoric, assembles a gathering of the largest and most influential groups in the northeast. With Sargent's introductions, Foster becomes ingratiated in the movement and meets Andrew Blackwell, the leader of a premier white supremacist militia, as well as gaining Wolf's attention by convincing him he can fund an expansion of his radio show. Foster also becomes fast friends with Gerry Conway, a white collar engineer and family man, also with white supremacist sympathies. After earning Blackwell's trust by saving him during an attack on a white power rally by anti-fascists, Foster is brought to a crude military complex operated by Andrew's militia. There, Blackwell reveals that he has blueprints for the municipal water network of Washington, D.C. and is plotting an attack. The FBI begins to suspect that Wolf and Blackwell are working together after Foster meets Wolf at his home and discovers that his house sets off Foster's Geiger counter. Foster attempts to integrate himself into a possible plot by offering Wolf a substantial financial investment. Instead, Wolf becomes hostile and reports Foster to the FBI. It is revealed that he is merely an entertainer and does not believe in the cause, and that he has undergone radiation therapy for prostate cancer, which was registered by the Geiger counter. Blackwell is meanwhile also dismissed as a possible threat, as he appears to use the D.C. water network plans as a way to lure in potential recruits with promise of participating in an impending terror attack. With no further leads, the case is ordered to be closed by Foster's and Zamparo's superior. Angered at wasting his efforts, Foster prepares to have his cover identity leave the city. Foster meets Conway to make his final farewells. Sensing his genuine feelings of uselessness, Conway confides in Foster his membership in a domestic terrorist cell. It is revealed that Conway and his allies are in possession of the caesium and are plotting to detonate a dirty bomb. With Conway's introduction, Foster joins the group as supplier of the explosive (TATP). Though his cover is nearly blown several times by the paranoid terrorists, Foster manages to locate the caesium in Conway's home, leading the FBI to stop and arrest the terrorists before they are able to carry out the plot. Satisfied that he has made a difference, Foster makes one last visit to Johnny, a teenager and former member of Sargent's gang who no longer believes in the cause. ===== ===== ===== As described in a film magazine, Edith Cavell (Arthur) is beloved by George Brooks (Brooks), but decides to follow the dictates of her conscious and nurse the sick and suffering.

In the second story, which starts earlier on the night of Bai Hu’s death, villager Li Qin, wife of the abusive and philandering Chen Zili, is having an affair with another married villager Wang Baoshan. They quarrel and Li Qin dares Baoshan to kill Chen Zili. After leaving Li Qin’s house, Baoshan stops by the convenience store owned by Zhuang, who is secretly in love with Li Qin and likely jealous of Baoshan. Zhuang then observes Baoshan walking off in the direction that Huan was seen to be going when she had walked by a few minutes before. The next morning, Li Qin discovers that Baoshan has been accused of killing Huan, who had disappeared overnight, and burning her body. In front of other villagers, Baoshan asks Li Qin to provide him with an alibi for the time of the supposed murder. Li Qin refuses and goes home. Later, Li Qin is informed that the identity card of her husband Chen Zili had been found on the burnt body and that the corpse is his. Baoshan is released. Zhuang, who had caused the villagers to suspect Baoshan for killing Huan, arranges the funeral of Chen Zili, to curry favor with Li Qin. On his way back to the village after buying goods for the funeral, Zhuang is waved down by a man by the roadside. He is shocked to see that it is Chen Zili, alive and well. Zhuang gives Zili a lift and Zili promptly falls asleep in the van. Zhuang picks up a rock to smash Zili’s head in but doesn’t go through with it eventually. Zili wakes up and goes off into the bushes to relieve himself. Zili’s phone rings, and he answers but accidentally drops it. Startled, he loses his footing and plunges off the steep cliff where he had been relieving himself, apparently to his death. In another storyline, we see Bai Hu in the city shortly before his death. He repeatedly borrows money from loan sharks to fund his gambling addiction. He also appears to be sick, and has a nosebleed. He meets Chen Zili in the city by chance on the morning of his death, and it is implied that he steals Zili’s wallet which also contained Zili’s identity card. Bai Hu then makes his way to the village, reaching it at night, where he comes across Zongyao and Huan, resulting in his own death. The loan sharks come to the village the next morning to collect the debt and, unable to find Bai Hu, threaten to burn down the house of Bai Guoqing, Bai Hu’s elder brother. In the last story which begins around the time of Bai Hu’s death, village chief Xiao Weiguo, Zongyao’s father, is walking home through the forest after attending an unrelated funeral. He hears the commotion caused by the altercation between his son and Bai Hu, and witnesses the latter’s death. After his son has fled, Weiguo drags the body to another spot closer to the village and burns it. The next morning, Weiguo pretends to find the charred body by accident, after he and another villager spot the smoke. The villagers first assume it is Huan and later that it is Chen Zili. Deeply remorseful, Weiguo calls Chen Zili to prove that he is still alive, which results in the phone call that causes Zili’s fall from the cliff. The police find Zili’s body and contacts Li Qin, who goes to identify his body and collect his ashes. Zhuang drives Li Qin in his van and Li Qin discovers Zili’s walking cane, which had been left behind in the van. Li Qin takes the cane and rejects Zhuang’s romantic intentions. Li Qin leaves the coffin containing Bai Hu’s body with Weiguo, asking him to locate the unknown deceased’s kin. Bai Guoqing, Bai Hu’s brother, goes to Weiguo with a request to use the coffin to stage Bai Hu’s death and fool the loan sharks. Thinking that Bai Hu will finally get a proper burial by his real family, Weiguo agrees. The Bai family holds the funeral procession and succeed in deceiving the loan sharks that Bai Hu is dead. But instead of burying him, the Bais leave the coffin in the open mountainside, reasoning that the body would be claimed by others. Overcome with guilt and unable to have closure, Weiguo takes Zongyao to the police and tell the authorities the whole story. ===== Three friends, Sam (Luke Mitchell), Mike (Jason Ritter) and Owen (Zane Holtz), are forced to commit a brazen robbery.

She braves a sandstorm, and finds water and a plant- like creature to eat. After 752 hours, Simmons is trapped by a man, who eventually introduces himself as Will, an astronaut sent through the portal by NASA in 2001 who has been stranded alone, and believes the planet, or an entity controlling the planet, to be evil. Will and his team had come on a year-long mission of exploration, but the others had soon succumbed to the effects of "it"; two had killed themselves, while Will killed the other when the latter attacked him. Will only survived the next 14 years by hiding from "it", and luck. Simmons uses Will's equipment, including maps he and his team made of the surrounding areas, to try to find a way back through the portal. While out scavenging for food, Simmons sees a metallic reflection in the distance, and follows it to find an old sword and 19th century astronomy equipment. Realizing that she has entered what Will calls the "No Fly Zone", the area where his fellow astronauts all went before they died, Simmons is soon caught up in another sandstorm—this time, she sees a cloaked figure approaching her and flees back to the cave. Inspired by the astronomy equipment to use the stars and moons, Simmons deduces that the portal's location is fixed but appears to move due to the planet's rotation. By using Will's old NASA equipment and her S.H.I.E.L.D.-issued cell phone, she predicts the portal's next opening, but they arrive at the location to find that "it" has apparently altered the landscape to create an impassable canyon between them and the portal. Simmons loses hope of ever returning to Earth as the portal opens and closes in front of them, and resigns herself to life on the planet with Will. The two grow close as time continues to pass. 4,722 hours since Simmons' arrival, they see a flare in the distance. Running to it, Simmons finds her S.H.I.E.L.D. partner Leo Fitz. As "it" arrives, Will stays behind to hold it off while Simmons reluctantly escapes with Fitz. She tells him of her ordeal, and Fitz promises to help her return to the planet and save Will. ===== ===== ===== ===== Tucson Raiders is set in 1895’s Painted Valley, Colorado.

The following morning, their parents argue over two different brand of doughnuts called "Spirit Doughnuts" and "Soul Doughnuts". Later on they end up running across a mysterious shop called the "Memory Shop", where the shopkeeper offers them a watch for a cheap price. They further end up freeing Whisper, who has also lost his memories, from a capsule machine. After their memories are regained thanks to the Yo-kai Watch's activation, they go on to befriend Jibanyan once again, before finding that the Memory Store has mysteriously disappeared. The following day there are reports of crows stealing shiny objects. The protagonist goes to meet their friend, Eddie, and becomes involved in chasing after his new high-tech watch when a Yo-kai become involved in its theft. A couple of days later, the protagonist goes to Springdale Elementary and notices a giant shadow towering over the school. They go to Timers & More to get their Yo-kai Watch upgraded by Mr. Goodsight, but must complete a number of tasks for him before-hand. After getting the watch upgraded, they go to school at night to investigate. They eventually find that the source of the shadow is a giant skeleton Gashadokuro yo-kai, Gutsy Bones. The next day, the protagonist encounters a large, fat cat Yo-Kai in the Shopping Row who appears to be turning objects around him gigantic. The Yo-Kai hypnotizes them into feeling the need to travel to the nearby country town of Harrisville, so they decide to visit their grandmother who lives in that town. After they arrive in Harrisville, they encounter a dispute between some Yo-Kai, who claim that there is bad water between two Yo-Kai factions called the "Fleshy Souls" and the "Bony Spirits". The following day, the protagonist ends up encountering the same large Yo-Kai from before who turns out to be Hovernyan, a cat Yo-Kai from 60 years in the past who grew huge after absorbing soul energy over many years. Hovernyan then tells the protagonist that their grandfather, called Nathaniel Adams or Kenny Forester respectively depending on whether you're playing as Nate or Katie, needs their help, and uses his Time Stone to transport them and company to 60 years in the past. Arriving in the past, the characters encounter people who have been inspirited by "Wicked Yo-Kai", a type of Yo-Kai that even the protagonist cannot see with the Yo-kai Watch. They also encounter a younger version of their grandfather, a wild youth who acts like a superhero and looks identical to them. After attempting to meet with their grandparent, who doesn't seem too keen on letting them help, they come across plans for building the Yo-kai Watch, with it being revealed that their grandparent created the Yo-Kai Watch. This version of the watch could detect Wicked Yo-Kai, something which was later removed from the watch after Wicked Yo-Kai no longer existed. The protagonist and company help to build the watch, and also find and free five classic Yo-Kai which were particularly close to their grandparent:Pallysol, Mermaidyn, Faux Kappa, Predictabull, and Gnomey. They later meet the two evil Yo-Kai who stole the protagonist's Yo-Kai Watch and memories, who reveal themselves to be Kin and Gin, Wicked Yo-Kai with the ability to rewrite time. After defeating Kin and Gin, with some help from the classic Yo-Kai, the protagonist's grandfather accepts them as their "sidekick". Having returned to the present, Jibanyan and the protagonist get into a petty argument which leads to Jibanyan running away from home. Jibanyan is then whisked away from the present by Kin and Gin, returning to being a living cat called Rudy, owned by his owner, Amy. Eventually, he goes back through the events of the night when he died, in which he prevented Amy from getting killed by a truck by getting hit in her place. Kin and Gin attempt to convince him to let Amy die in his place, but Rudy saves Amy again anyway and returns to the present. That same night, a Yo-Kai couple, Ray O'Light and Drizzelda, are set upon by Eyeclone, whose rage over their display of affection causes a typhoon in Springdale. Another Yo-Kai, Brokenbrella, sees this occurring and goes to the protagonist for help. The protagonist then defeats Eyeclone, stopping the typhoon and saving Ray O'Light and Drizzelda. Hovernyan appears again, asking the protagonist to come back to the past. When they arrive, Hovernyan tells them that a large battle is occurring between the "Fleshy Souls" and "Bony Spirits", two factions of yo-kai that have been at war for hundreds of years. The protagonist goes to the battlefield in hopes of ceasing the conflict, although ends up fighting on behalf of either the "Bonies" or the "Fleshes" depending on which version is being played. Defeating the general of the opposing side, they are told that the reason the war began was an argument about doughnut fillings, which escalated over time. The protagonist's grandfather then arrives and reveals that many of the Yo-Kai on the battlefield are actually Wicked Yo-Kai in disguise. Kin and Gin arrive, followed by their master, Dame Dedtime, who is the boss of the Wicked Yo-Kai. Dame Dedtime gets one of her servants, Unfairy, to attack the group, but he is restrained by the joint efforts of the generals for both the Fleshy Souls and Bony Spirits, Toadal Dude and Arachnus. The protagonist learns of a Yo-Kai called Master Nyada that could grant them the power to fight the Wicked Yo- Kai. After finding him and beating his trials, Master Nyada gives them a hose, telling them it will give them the power to beat the wicked yo-kai. They return to Unfairy, who has broken free from Toadal Dude and Arachnus, and can hear Master Nyada telling them to "use the hose". Whisper and Jibanyan eventually end up, somewhat inadvertently, using the hose to knock down Unfairy, giving he protagonist the chance to take him down. After this, Toadal Dude and Arachnus call an official truce to the conflict between their two factions. However, wicked yo-kai have begun to swarm in on Springdale and Dame Dedtime unleashes a "Dedcloud" that will take control of humans and change the future into one in her image. She then sends the protagonist and their companions to the future that will exist if her plans are not stopped, in which Springdale is overrun by Wicked Yo-Kai who control the joyless citizens and Yo-Kai. The protagonist finds a way to get back to the past, where they set about attempting to destroy the machines producing the Dedcloud. They are then eventually led towards Dame Dedtime's base of operations. While their grandfather tries to hold off Kin and Gin with Hovernyan, the protagonist tries to take down Dame Dedtime, but finds that their efforts are in vain as she appears to be immortal, thanks to Kin and Gin rewinding time. However, Hovernyan gives the protagonist's grandfather the milk bottle tops that he wrote his Yo-Kai friends' names on. Finally able to accept himself as their friend and someone they see as a hero, Nathaniel/Kenny screams to the Yo-Kai for help, causing the milk bottle tops to transform into Yo-Kai Medals, and the Yo-kai Watch Model Zero to appear on his wrist. He uses them to summon the Classic Yo-Kai, and takes down Kin and Gin for good. The protagonist battles Dame Dedtime again, and is this time able to defeat her. Enraged by her loss, she then begins to absorb the life force of the humans of Old Springdale, leaving behind only darkness, vowing that she'll take away joy and time from all humans as revenge for them doing the same thing to her when she had been convicted of a crime she didn't commit during her human life. Darkness spreads across the world, and the power she absorbs transforms her into her more powerful form, Dame Demona. The protagonist and crew are able to defeat Dame Demona, saving humanity and turning the protagonist's present back to normal. Afterwards, the protagonist's grandfather promises to finish work on creating the Yo-kai Watch, and thanks their grandchild for everything they've done. The protagonist then returns to their own time, with Whisper and Jibanyan in tow. ===== The story begins by showing a group of novice adventurers battling goblins in a forest.

Henry Montford, a young barrister from Lincolns Inn, has transported his family to the new colony to start a new life.

Colby is caught and confesses but also incriminates his partner, Dandy Joe Meeker (Roy Barcroft). The worried Colby consults Meeker, who engages a gunslinger (Kenne Duncan) to kill Hopkins and then to pin the murder on Jim Douglas (Francis McDonald). Douglas, soon to be paroled from prison, had formally been arrested and convicted for a similar crime that he hadn’t committed. Hopkins meets Douglas in order to tell him the truth regarding his imprisonment but is killed by the gunman. Douglas is subsequently jailed for the murder. However, the gunman is captured by Red Ryder (Wild Bill Elliott) and his Indian ward, Little Beaver. Douglas is hesitant to explain his situation for fear that his daughter, Betty Lou Hopkins (Peggy Stewart) will discover that he, not Jason Hopkins, is her real father. The now jailed gunman is stabbed in the back and the sheriff, convinced that the gunman was killed to silence him, frees Douglas. He is hired by Colby as a bank guard, where he uses the name Johnson in order that he can see his daughter every day. Meeker has Colby steal the forged certificates before they are discovered as fake and then claim that Hopkins embezzled the originals. To cover the losses, Betty Lou decides to invest her inheritance in the bank. Red Ryder and his Aunt, the Duchess (Alice Fleming) contribute as well. But, still wanting to take over the bank, Meeker instigates a run on the bank, which he hopes will close it down. Thanks to Red and Little Beaver, Meeker's plan is foiled and the bank remains solvent. The bank receives a shipment of money which Meeker’s gang steals. Betty Lou, seeing only part of the robbery, mistakenly assumes that Douglas was in on the heist, although in reality, he was forced at gunpoint to accompany the fleeing criminals. Suspicious of Colby's insistence that only Meeker can help them now, Red, however, decides to investigate, and near the open vault, he discovers a pocket watch, inscribed "to Jim Douglas from Jason Hopkins." The watch contains a picture of Betty Lou's mother, leading Red to deduce Douglas' real identity and his relationship to Betty Lou. Red plants newspaper stories that Betty Lou was seriously injured in the robbery. This lures Douglas back to Blue Springs, but in the meantime, Meeker pressures a bank commissioner to take control of the bank. Red's newspaper ploy works, and Douglas admits to him that he is Betty Lou's father, but insists that he is innocent of any wrongdoing. Red continues to gather evidence proving that Douglas was framed for the robbery, and then informs Betty Lou that Douglas is her real father. The delighted Betty Lou has Douglas released from jail, but Meeker tries to organize a lynch mob by telling the townspeople that he will not invest in the bank if Douglas is freed. However, Red' Ryder’s evidence proves Meeker's guilt. Now caught, Colby and Meeker take the Duchess hostage in an attempt to escape. Red fights with Meeker, who is killed with his own knife after he tries to stab Red. After the rest of the gang is rounded up, Betty Lou hosts a party to celebrate the re-opening of the bank, which they intend to run together.Cheyenne Wildcat (1944). Turner Classic Movies.

In Golden Days, Edith Langley, a 38-year-old divorcee returns to Los Angeles from the East Coast with her two daughters, Aurora and Denise, to start a new life in 1980. They move into a home in Topanga Canyon, and Edith reinvents herself as a financial reporter and then a financial advisor to other women. Edith begins a relationship with Skip Chandler, an older married man. Skip is back in the States for a medical issue—his wife and children still in Argentina where they moved after the Cuban Missile Crisis. Edith and Skip live the affluent life of the 1980s in Southern California—money, Lear Jets, and Porsches. They fly to San Francisco to attend a weekend seminar given by Lion Boyce on "Abundance as a Natural State." At the seminar, Edith runs into an old friend—Lorna McAvey. On their return, Skip goes to the doctor and discovers there is nothing wrong with him. The novel then flashes back to 1962 when Edith meets her friend Lorna—who sees her through the years of her first marriage and divorce. The story then returns to L.A. in the early eighties; Edith grows a business as a gem dealer and banker. Edith and Lorna are friends again—Edith refers to it as their second friendship. Edith fills Lorna in on her second failed marriage to Dirk Langley, an Australian surf film director. As Edith becomes richer and richer, Lorna reinvents herself on television preaching the positive message of abundance. The book then jumps forward to 1986, by which time Edith's eldest daughter has graduated from college and is a successful international courier while her younger daughter is still at home and in school. Edith and Skip have settled into a quiet life entrenching themselves through their affluence against an increasingly unsettled world focusing on the younger daughter's school. A war begins in Central America. At the school, Edith and Lorna meet Franz deGeld a Hollywood executive whom Lorna is having an affair. At that time, a Nuclear bomb goes off in a Central American jungle killing a few thousand people. Life goes on as before.

One chapter focuses on the life of a cheating husband. The final part of the novel is nuclear annihilation and its aftermath. Edith describes the last days and Lorna's continued preaching against fear. Then the bomb hits and Edith, Skip, her daughter Denise live through the blast, subsequent fires, illness and disfigurement. The novel describes the lives of the family, friends, and neighbors as they attempt to survive in this new wasteland. The remaining characters decide to leave the Canyon to walk down to the Beach. As they go Edith begins to tell stories—affirming stories, not unlike those of her friend Lorna and Lion Boyce. "There will be those who say that the end came, I mean the END, with an avenging God and the whole shebang. And many more who say it came, and there was death and terror, and weeping in the streets, and the last man on earth died in the Appalachians, of pancreatic cancer, all alone. I heard that story, and I don't think much of it. You can believe what you want to, of course. But I say there was a race of hardy laughers, mystics, crazies, who knew their real homes, or who had been drawn to this gold coast for years, and they lived through the destroying light, and on, into the Light Ages." ===== ===== Dan Harrow goes to work as a driver for Samson Weaver on the Erie Canal, but his heart is set on buying a farm and settling down, even though his father was a canal man.
