Lamro: +

The '''Palazzo Donà''' or '''Donà Brusa''' is a [[Venetian Gothic architecture|Venetian Gothic]] style palace located in [[Campo San Polo]] in the [[Sestiere of San Polo]] in [[Venice]].
[[File:Palazzo donà a san polo venezia.jpg|thumb|Palazzo Donà a San Polo]]
The palace was originally built by the old aristocratic [[Donà family]], originally from [[Aquileia]]. Three members of the family, [[Francesco Donà|Francesco]], [[Leonardo Donà|Leonardo]], and [[Nicolo Donà|Nicolo]] became Doges.

The composer [[Giovanni Francesco Brusa]], a collaborator with [[Carlo Goldoni]], lived in the palace.

The palace is now owned by the ''Signum Foundation'', which sponsors exhibitions from Polish and foreign contemporary artists.<ref>[http://www.signum.art.pl/index.php/en/signum-palazzo-dona/palazzo-dona.html Signum Foundation], website.</ref>

There are at four three other Dona palaces in Venice, the Palazzo Donà della Madoneta on the Grand Canal, the [[Palazzo Donà-Ottobon]] in Fondamenta San Severo in [[Sestiere of Castello|Castello]], [[Palazzo Donà Balbi]] in Santa Croce, and the Palazzo Donà dalle Rose in [[Cannaregio]].

The '''Palazzo Donà-Ottobon''' is a palace located at Calle della Madonna on the Fondamenta di San Severo, corner with and Calle Larga [[San Lorenzo, Venice|San Lorenzo]], in the [[Sestiere of Castello]] in [[Venice]], Italy. The remains of this [[Venetian Gothic architecture]] palace are a small corner facade, alongside a canal, with two and a half walled-up gothic arcades in the [[piano nobile]]. The portal has an equally awkward marble relief of the Virgin with St Francis, [[St Claire de Montefalco]], and a donor of reduced size.<ref>[http://www.e-venise.com/photos_venise_08/0213_palazzo_dona_ottoboni_venise.html e-Venise website] photos.</ref> Earlier authors do not mention this portal.

By 1514, the palace was documented to belong to a Marco Donà, and two carved stones at the entrance sported the family shield. There is another Palazzo Donà della Madoneta on the [[Grand Canal, Venice|Grand Canal]] shore of the [[Sestiere of San Polo]]. The palace at San Severo remained in this family till 1582 when it appears to have been sold to two brothers Troilo and Sertorio Altan, who were cloth merchants in Venice and the mainland. The Altàn had built tombs in the church of Sant'Anna and had lent to Donà a sum of money, to obtain the palace at San Severo.

However, the Altàn family fell was to soon extinguish when the brothers were jailed for fraud, and in 1592, Girolamo, son of Troilo was banned while in exile for the murder of Michele Stropelli, who had been an accomplice in the family fraud.

However, by 1597, it was sold again to the brothers Pietro, Marco, and Antonio [[Ottoboni family|Ottoboni]]. Zuanne Francesco Ottoboni had been Grand Chancellor (1559-1575). Marco in 1639 was elected Grand Chancellor, and died in 1646. One of his sons, Pietro, born in 1610 to Vittoria Tornielli, became cardinal in 1651, and [[Pope Alexander VIII]] in 1689.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=rYEZAAAAYAAJ Venice on Foot: With the Itinerary of the Grand Canal], by Hugh A. Douglas, (1907), page 195.</ref> In a room of this palace, later converted to oratory, there is an epigraph in black stone recalling the birth here of the future pope.

A great-nephew of the pope, returned to Venice in 1726 as a cardinal, [[Pietro Ottoboni (cardinal)|Pietro Ottoboni]], lived in the palace. This Ottoboni was famous as a patron of musicians and composers. From the Ottoboni, through a maternal line, it passed to the Boncompagni, and Marco Boncompagni Ottoboni, Duke of Fiano, and sold it in 1802 to the cavaliere Alberto Manuch. It passed through a few hands and was willed to the church of [[San Zaccaria, Venice|San Zaccaria]] in 1840.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=f4xAAQAAMAAJ Alcuni palazzi: ed antichi edificii di Venezia], by Giuseppe Tassini, Filippi Editori, Tipografia M.

'''Palazzo Giovanelli''' (also known as Palazzo Foscarini Giovanelli) is a palace in Venice, located in the [[Santa Croce (Venice)|Santa Croce]] district, overlooking the right side of the [[Grand Canal (Venice)|Grand Canal]] and the Rio di San Giovanni Decollato, before the [[Fondaco dei Turchi]].<ref>{{cite book |last1=Lucas |first1=E.

The palace dates back probably to the mid-15th century.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Romanelli |first1=Giandomenico |title=Splendours of Venice |date=1997 |publisher=Tauris Parke Books |isbn=9781860642067 |page=52 |url=https://books.google.ru/books?id=r6hGAQAAIAAJ&q=palazzo+giovanelli+venice&dq=palazzo+giovanelli+venice&hl=ru&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiYvd_ynv3kAhWOo4sKHfMcBxc4ChDoAQhsMAk |accessdate=2 October 2019 |language=en}}</ref> The design is attributed to the architect [[Filippo Calendario]], the designer of [[Palazzo Ducale]]. The palazzo has, nevertheless, undergone many renovations over the past centuries; it was almost completely rebuilt in 1847-48 by the architect Giovanni Battista Meduna. These interventions are visible on the side of the building facing the Rio Fosca river; they resulted in the mix of Gothic, late Renaissance, neo-Gothic style openings.<ref>{{cite web |title=Canal Grande di Venezia - Catalogo illustrato - Palazzo Giovanelli |url=http://www.canalgrandevenezia.it/index.php/palazzi-canal-grande/lato-sinistro/79-palazzo-giovanelli?highlight=WyJwYWxhenpvIiwiZ2lvdmFuZWxsaSIsInBhbGF6em8gZ2lvdmFuZWxsaSJd |publisher=canalgrandevenezia.it |accessdate=2 October 2019}}</ref>

[[Donà family|Giovanni Battista Donà]], a member of one of the most important Venetian families, was an initial owner. Then the building was donated by the Republic to [[Francesco Maria I della Rovere, Duke of Urbino|Francesco Maria della Rovere]], Duke of Urbino in 1538, who passed the ownership to the Giovannelli family as a debt payment. The Giovanellis were originally from [[Bergamasco, Piedmont|Bergamasco]] and became wealthy via investing in mines in Hungary. They bought the noble title in 1668, paying the enormous sum of 100,000 ducats to the Serenissima.

==Architecture==
The palazzo has three levels, including the ground floor. The [[noble floor]]s are decorated with [[quadrifora]]s flanked by pairs of single-light windows. The lower quadrifora is supported by a [[balustrade]]. The interiors were created by Meduna in the same period as the restoration of the [[Ca' d'Oro]] took place and are inspired by the neo-Gothic style. The interior rooms have coffered ceilings, stuccos, marble chimneys, and a very rich collection of art objects including ''[[The Tempest (Giorgione)|La tempesta]]'' by [[Giorgione]] and ''Ritratto dell'Inglese'' by [[Titian]].<ref>{{cite book |last1=Lucas |first1=Edward Verrall |title=A Wanderer in Venice |date=1924 |publisher=Macmillan |page=227 |url=https://books.google.ru/books?id=6kr6-_Vt0asC&q=palazzo+giovanelli+venice&dq=palazzo+giovanelli+venice&hl=ru&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiYvd_ynv3kAhWOo4sKHfMcBxc4ChDoAQgtMAE |accessdate=2 October 2019 |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last1=Okey |first1=Thomas |title=The Story of Venice |date=1907 |publisher=J.M.

The '''Grammy Award for Best Jazz Vocal Album''' is an [[award]] presented at the [[Grammy Award]]s, a ceremony that was established in 1958 and originally called the Gramophone Awards,<ref name=Grammy>{{cite news|url=http://theenvelope.latimes.com/awards/grammys/env-grammy_awards_info,0,5279018.htmlstory?track=center|title=Grammy Awards at a Glance|work=[[Los Angeles Times]]|publisher=[[Tribune Company]]|accessdate=April 24, 2010}}</ref> to recording artists for quality works (songs or albums) in the [[vocal jazz]] music genre. Awards in several categories are presented at the ceremony annually by the [[National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences]] of the United States to "honor artistic achievement, technical proficiency and overall excellence in the recording industry, without regard to album sales or chart position".<ref name=Overview>{{cite web|url=http://www2.grammy.com/Recording_Academy/|title=Overview|accessdate=April 24, 2010|publisher=[[National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences]]|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110103173212/http://www2.grammy.com/Recording_Academy/|archivedate=January 3, 2011|df=}}</ref>

My Ship

Lamro: /* Cover versions */ s

[[File:Bundesarchiv Bild 146-2005-0119, Kurt Weill.jpg|thumb|right|Composer Kurt Weill]]

'''"My Ship"''' is a popular song written for the 1941 [[Broadway theatre|Broadway]] musical ''[[Lady in the Dark]]'', with music by [[Kurt Weill]] and lyrics by [[Ira Gershwin]].

The music is marked "Andante espressivo"; Gershwin describes it as "orchestrated by Kurt to sound sweet and simple at times, mysterious and menacing at other".<ref>{{cite book | last=Gershwin | first=Ira | title=Lyrics on Several Occasions | edition=First | location=New York | publisher=Knopf | year=1959 | oclc=538209}}</ref>

It was premiered by [[Gertrude Lawrence]] in the role of Liza Elliott, the editor of a fashion magazine. In the context of the show, the song comes in a sequence in which Elliott, in psychoanalysis, recalls a turn-of-the-century song she knew in her childhood.

The song was not included in the 1944 [[Hollywood]] film ''[[Lady in the Dark (film)|Lady in the Dark]]'', a fact which Ira Gershwin found inexplicable:

{{quote| Later, when ''Lady in the Dark'' was filmed, the script necessarily had many references to the song. But for some unfathomable reason the song itself—as essential to this musical drama as a stolen necklace or a missing will to a melodrama—was omitted. Although the film was successful financially, audiences evidently were puzzled or felt thwarted or something, because items began to appear in movie-news columns mentioning that the song frequently referred to in ''Lady in the Dark'' was 'My Ship'. I hold a brief for Hollywood, having been more or less a movie-goer since I was nine; but there are times...

}}

In 2003, [[Herbie Hancock]] won the [[45th Annual Grammy Awards|Grammy Award]] for [[Grammy Award for Best Improvised Jazz Solo|Best Jazz Instrumental Solo]] for a version of this song released on the album ''[[Directions in Music: Live at Massey Hall]]''.

'''''After the Wind: 1996 Everest Tragedy – One Survivor’s Story''''' is a book by Lou Kasischke that details his experiences as a client on [[Rob Hall]]’s expedition during the [[1996 Mount Everest disaster|1996 Mount Everest tragedy]]. The accident killed eight climbers—including four from the Hall expedition—and remained the worst climbing accident on [[Mount Everest|Everest]] until the [[2014 Mount Everest avalanche]]. The book features 55 illustrations by Jane Cardinal and was published in 2014 by Good Hart Publishing.

==Overview==
Initially written in the aftermath of the tragedy, Kasischke waited 16 years to release ''After the Wind''. The book focuses on the events leading up to the ascent, Kasischke’s experiences on the mountain, and his motivation for turning around 400 feet from the summit, as well as the close relationship he shares with his wife, Sandy.

Using the analytical skills acquired from his many years as a corporate attorney, Kasischke also offers a fresh analysis of how the tragedy unfolded and the decisions—both individual and collective—that contributed to it. Though Kasischke avoids blaming any single person for the tragedy, he does note that the presence of journalist [[Jon Krakauer]] may have caused guide [[Rob Hall]], whose [[Adventure Consultants]] business was in competition with [[Scott Fischer]]’s [[Mountain Madness]], to take uncharacteristic risks on the mountain in an effort to get as many clients as possible to the summit and subsequently receive favorable press from Krakauer's report.

==Reception==
''After the Wind'' received favorable reviews from critics. ''[[Kirkus Reviews]]'' gave the book a starred review,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/lou-kasischke/after-the-wind/|title=AFTER THE WIND|author=Lou Kasischke|work=Kirkus Reviews|accessdate=14 September 2015}}</ref> describing it as “a vivid, intimate memoir that, with great clarity and attention to detail, tells an unforgettable survival story.” Blue Ink Reviews labelled the book a “thoughtful, well-written love story” and “an edge-of-your-seat description of navigating and mountaineering Everest,” and awarded the book a starred review.<ref>http://www.blueinkreview.com/book-reviews/after-the-wind-1996-everest-tragedy-one-survivors-story/</ref> It was also nominated for the 2014 Kirkus Prize for non-fiction and was a finalist for Eric Hoffer Grand Prize and First Horizon Book Awards.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hofferaward.com/HAFirstHorizonshortlist.html#.VW8ZeVxVhBc|title=Eric Hoffer Book Award - First Horizon Short List|work=hofferaward.com|accessdate=14 September 2015}}</ref>

'''''After the Wind: 1996 Everest Tragedy – One Survivor’s Story''''' is a book by Lou Kasischke that details his experiences as a client on [[Rob Hall]]’s expedition during the [[1996 Mount Everest disaster|1996 Mount Everest tragedy]]. The accident killed eight climbers—including four from the Hall expedition—and remained the worst climbing accident on [[Mount Everest|Everest]] until the [[2014 Mount Everest avalanche]]. The book features 55 illustrations by Jane Cardinal and was published in 2014 by Good Hart Publishing.

==Overview==
Initially written in the aftermath of the tragedy, Kasischke waited 16 years to release ''After the Wind''. The book focuses on the events leading up to the ascent, Kasischke’s experiences on the mountain, and his motivation for turning around 400 feet from the summit, as well as the close relationship he shares with his wife, Sandy.

Using the analytical skills acquired from his many years as a corporate attorney, Kasischke also offers a fresh analysis of how the tragedy unfolded and the decisions—both individual and collective—that contributed to it. Though Kasischke avoids blaming any single person for the tragedy, he does note that the presence of journalist [[Jon Krakauer]] may have caused guide [[Rob Hall]], whose [[Adventure Consultants]] business was in competition with [[Scott Fischer]]’s [[Mountain Madness]], to take uncharacteristic risks on the mountain in an effort to get as many clients as possible to the summit and subsequently receive favorable press from Krakauer's report.

==Reception==
''After the Wind'' received favorable reviews from critics. ''[[Kirkus Reviews]]'' gave the book a starred review,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/lou-kasischke/after-the-wind/|title=AFTER THE WIND|author=Lou Kasischke|work=Kirkus Reviews|accessdate=14 September 2015}}</ref> describing it as “a vivid, intimate memoir that, with great clarity and attention to detail, tells an unforgettable survival story.” Blue Ink Reviews labelled the book a “thoughtful, well-written love story” and “an edge-of-your-seat description of navigating and mountaineering Everest,” and awarded the book a starred review.<ref>http://www.blueinkreview.com/book-reviews/after-the-wind-1996-everest-tragedy-one-survivors-story/</ref> It was also nominated for the 2014 Kirkus Prize for non-fiction and was a finalist for Eric Hoffer Grand Prize and First Horizon Book Awards.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hofferaward.com/HAFirstHorizonshortlist.html#.VW8ZeVxVhBc|title=Eric Hoffer Book Award - First Horizon Short List|work=hofferaward.com|accessdate=14 September 2015}}</ref>

'''''After the Wind: 1996 Everest Tragedy – One Survivor’s Story''''' is a book by Lou Kasischke that details his experiences as a client on [[Rob Hall]]’s expedition during the [[1996 Mount Everest disaster|1996 Mount Everest tragedy]]. The accident killed eight climbers – including four from the Hall expedition – and remained the worst climbing accident on [[Mount Everest|Everest]] until the [[2014 Mount Everest avalanche]]. The book features 55 illustrations by Jane Cardinal and was published in 2014 by Good Hart Publishing.

== Overview ==
Initially written in the aftermath of the tragedy, Kasischke waited 16 years to release ''After the Wind''. The book focuses on the events leading up to the ascent, Kasischke’s experiences on the mountain, and his motivation for turning around 400 feet from the summit, as well as the close relationship he shares with his wife, Sandy.

Using the analytical skills acquired from his many years as a corporate attorney, Kasischke also offers a fresh analysis of how the tragedy unfolded and the decisions – both individual and collective – that contributed to it. Though Kasischke avoids blaming any single person for the tragedy, he does note that the presence of journalist [[Jon Krakauer]] may have caused guide Rob Hall, whose Adventure Consultants business was in competition with [[Scott Fischer]]’s Mountain Madness, to take uncharacteristic risks on the mountain in an effort to get as many clients as possible to the summit and subsequently receive favorable press from Krakauer's report.

== Reception ==
''After the Wind'' received favorable reviews from critics. Kirkus Review gave the book a starred review<ref>https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/lou-kasischke/after-the-wind/</ref>

'''''Sarah Vaughan with Clifford Brown''''', also known as '''''Sarah Vaughan''''', is a 1954 [[jazz]] album featuring [[Grammy Award]] winning singer [[Sarah Vaughan]] and influential trumpeter [[Clifford Brown]], released on the [[EmArcy]] label. It was the only collaboration between the pair,<ref name="OG">{{Allmusic|class=album|id=r149463|label=Sarah Vaughan with Clifford Brown (original)}}</ref> and though originally eponymous was re-issued under a new title to emphasize the appearance of the popular trumpeter.<ref name="R">{{Allmusic|class=album|id=r163827}}</ref> Well received, though not without some criticism, the album was Vaughan's own favorite among her works through 1980.<ref>{{cite book | last =Gourse | first =Leslie | title =Sassy: The Life of Sarah Vaughan | url=http://books.google.com/books?id=kvImwPArpeYC&pg=PA78&dq=%22Sarah+Vaughan%22+%22Clifford+Brown%22&lr=&sig=KdXcE9nkxEhWLD0Rdh7CJ2GVWfk |publisher =DeCapo Press | date =1994 | pages =78| isbn =0-306-80578-2 }}</ref> The album was inducted into the [[Grammy Hall of Fame]] in 1999.<ref>[http://www.grammy.org/recording-academy/awards/hall-of-fame#s Grammy Hall of Fame Award, Past Recipients] grammy.com. Retrieved on 2008-05-31.</ref>

The album has been re-released on CD and LP many times, with its original nine-track listing and with an additional track. In 2005, the album was reissued under the title ''Complete Recordings with Clifford Brown'' by Lone Hill Records with 18 tracks.

''Sarah Vaughan with Clifford Brown'' was overwhelmingly a critical success. In ''Bebop: The Best Musicians and Recordings'', jazz commentator [[Scott Yanow]] notes simply of the album that "[e]verything works", making of it an "essential acquisition".<ref name="Bebop">{{cite book | last = Yanow | first = Scott | title = Bebop: The Best Musicians and Recordings | publisher = Backbeat Books | date = 2000 | pages = 182–183 | isbn = 0-87930-608-4}}</ref> ''Ink Blot Magazine'', characterizing this as one of Vaughan's "jazziest" albums, describes it also as one of her greatest.<ref>Greilsamer, Marc. [http://www.inkblotmagazine.com/rev-archive/svaughan.htm Sarah Vaughan with Clifford Brown] inkblotmagazine.com Retrieved on 2008-05-31.</ref> In its review, ''All Music'' states that "Vaughan is arguably in the best voice of her career here" and praises Brown for "displaying his incredible bop virtuosity", indicating that "[i]n whichever incarnation it's reissued, ''Sarah Vaughan With Clifford Brown'' is one of the most important jazz-meets-vocal sessions ever recorded".<ref name="R"/> ''The Blackwell Guide to Recorded Jazz'', also praising Brown's "brilliant" trumpeting, delves into Vaughan's vocal stylings in detail, encouraging listeners of the album to note how "sometimes she stretches out a song so deliberately and so reconfigures its melody, that the lyrics lose sense, linguistic phrasing having been replaced by [[musical phrasing]]".<ref name="Blackwell">{{cite book | last = Kernfeld | first = Barry Dean | title = The Blackwell Guide to Recorded Jazz | publisher = Blackwell Publishing | date = 1995 | pages = 334 | isbn = 0-631-19552-1}}</ref> ''Blackwell'' author Barry Dean Kernfeld opines that "[i]t is perhaps this pure devotion to the exploration of sound that has made her such a favourite of jazz listeners".<ref name="Blackwell"/> In ''Jazz: A Critic's Guide to the 100 Most Important Recordings'', ''New York Times'' jazz commentator Ben Ratliff placed the album as among Vaughan's best, indicating that the recording session seemed among those blessed sessions where "even middle-level musicians can sound like gods".<ref name="Ratliff">{{cite book | last = Ratliff | first = Ben | title = Jazz: A Critic's Guide to the 100 Most Important Recordings | series=New York Times Essential Library | publisher = MacMillan | date = 2000 | pages = 90 | isbn = 0-8050-7068-0}}</ref>
''[[The Penguin Guide to Jazz]]'' selected this album as part of its suggested "Core Collection," stating "it is very difficult to find any flaw in what should be recognized as one of the great jazz vocal records," and awarded it "crown" status.<ref>{{cite book|last = Cook|first = Richard|authorlink = Richard Cook (journalist)|author2=Brian Morton |authorlink2=Brian Morton (Scottish writer) |title = The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings|origyear = 1992|edition = 8th.|series = [[The Penguin Guide to Jazz]]|year = 2006|publisher = Penguin|location = New York|isbn = 0-14-102327-9|pages = 1325|chapter = Sarah Vaughan}}</ref>

But even while praising the album, some critics found elements of fault. Ratliff expresses distaste for the album's "shizy moments, when...[Vaughan] rockets between hoity-toity...and so blues-singer earthy, in certain low-register moments, that she approaches vulgarity".<ref>Ratliff, 91.</ref> Kernfeld suggests that [[Herbie Mann]] is a weak element amongst the otherwise strong ensemble, "completely overmatched".<ref name="Blackwell"/>

'''Naim Audio''' (pronounced "name") is a British manufacturer of [[high fidelity]] audio products for domestic use, based in [[Salisbury]], Wiltshire, United Kingdom. Founded in 1973, it is a highly successful and well-established high-end European audio brand. In August 2011, it announced a merger with French loudspeaker manufacturer [[Focal-JMLab]].<ref>Messenger, Paul (19 August 2011).

Archived from [http://www.stereophile.com/content/focal-naim-merge-operations the original] on 13 January 2012</ref>

==History==
Naim began when [[Julian Vereker]] started '''Naim Audio Visual''' in 1969 and created a sound-to-light box which he hired out to film production companies. His disappointment with the sound of professional recording equipment at the time led him to design his own power [[electronic amplifier|amplifier]]. The company '''Naim Audio''', was incorporated in 1973.<ref name=20130606whfnaim40years/><ref name=naimthattune>Price, David [http://web.archive.org/web/20101123105439/http://hi-fiworld.co.uk/hfw/featureshtml/naimhistory.html NAIM THAT TUNE]. ''Hi-Fi World Magazine''. Archived from [http://www.hi-fiworld.co.uk/hfw/featureshtml/naimhistory.html the original] on 23 November 2010</ref> Sailing against the conventional wisdom dating back to audio pioneer [[Edgar Villchur]] that the loudspeakers speakers determined the sound of a hi-fi system, and that amplifiers were simply a means to an end in moving the speakers, Vereker set about to put his ideas into practice.<ref name=20130606whfnaim40years/>

=== Amplifiers ===
{{main|Naim Audio amplifiers}}
The first product Naim put on the market was the NAP200 power [[electronic amplifier|amplifier]]; it was soon followed by the NAC12 pre-amplifier.<ref name=20130606whfnaim40years>Everard, Andrew (6 June 2013). [http://www.whathifi.com/blog/a-famous-naim-for-40-years "A famous Naim for 40 years"]. ''What Hi-fi?''. [http://www.webcitation.org/6IF1Jg3li Archived] from the original on 20 July 2013.</ref> The two-channel NAP 250 amplifier, launched in 1975, is perhaps Naim Audio's most well-known analogue product, as its basic circuit layout was shared by all the company's power amplifiers until the introduction of the flagship NAP500 in 2000. The [[Naim NAIT]], its first integrated amplifier, "one of the most controversial and famous integrated amps in the history of HiFi" has acquired a "legendary" status among integrated amplifiers.<ref name=2003TNT/>

=== R&D ===
In 1983, Guy Lamotte was hired as chief designer. He successfully developed the NA T01 and NAT101 FM tuners and piloted the development of the Hi-Cap power supply and the −5 modifications to the company's burgeoning pre-amplification (NAC42 and 32) and the NAXO [[active crossover]]. Lamotte privately worked on a prototype electrostatic speaker design that attracted media attention. It was brought into the Naim fold in 1987, after the Linn/Naim partnership ended.<ref name=20130606whfnaim40years/><ref name=FL1/> Roy George, who attended Southampton University and who was appointed Technical Director of Naim in 1985, is credited with designing many of Naim's iconic products.<ref name=200905gramophone>Everard, Andrew (19 April 2012).

=== Following ===
The company, and its products, such as the [[Naim NAIT|NAIT]], NAC52 pre-amplifier, the ARO uni-pivot tonearm and the SBL (Separate Box Loudspeaker) have also assumed cult status among devotees.<ref>[http://archive.classicrockmagazine.com/view/christmas-2004/96/naim-cd5i-825-a-legendary-british-brand-and-a-supe "NAIM CD5I"]. ''Classic Rock'', pg 96, Christmas 2004</ref><ref>Harrison, Andrew (12 May 2011). [http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/reviews/audio/3279461/naim-audio-unitiqute-review/ "Naim Audio UnitiQute review"] ''PC Advisor''</ref> The company was headed by Vereker until his death in 2000, when Paul Stephenson, then sales director, became managing director.<ref name=quaschik/>

==Design characteristics==
Naim has a devoted following gained through a combination of its products' performance, build quality, [[upgrade]] and after-sales philosophy. In terms of after-sales support, Naim boasts they can service all products ever manufactured by them.<ref name=Holgate>Holgate, David (8 October 2003). [http://www.webcitation.org/64ebvrmzK "Naim Audio Factory Tour"]. TNT UK. Archived from [http://www.tnt-audio.com/tours/naimaudio_e.html the original] on 13 January 2012.</ref>

Typically, the electronics incorporate over-engineered power supplies to ensure fast and generous current delivery to the audio circuitry. Naim also market independent low-noise power supplies to give its customers easy and effective [[upgrade]] paths for their pre-amplifiers and CD players.<ref name=20130606whfnaim40years/><ref name=pwrsupp>Taylor, Ced [http://www.acoustica.org.uk/t/naim/powersupplies.html Naim power supplies: mods and upgrades]. Acoustica.</ref>

Internally, the Naim design approach can be seen by their use of materials – the [[semiconductors]], heavy toroidal [[transformer]]s, their obsessive attention to earthing, screening and isolation from electronic and mechanical interference,<ref>Martens, Chris (15 Jun 2013). [http://www.hifiplus.com/articles/meet-your-maker-hi-fi-visits-naim-audio/ "Meet Your Maker: Hi-Fi+ Visits Naim Audio"]. ''Hi-Fi+''.</ref> through to their preference for [[XLR connector]], [[DIN connector]] and the [[BNC connector]] for phono (as opposed to the [[RCA connector]] used by almost all other manufacturers).<ref name=20130606whfnaim40years/><ref name=2003TNT>Cadeddu, Lucio ( March 2003).

Archived from [http://www.tnt-audio.com/ampli/nait_e.html the original] on 13 January 2012.</ref><ref name=pwrsupp/>

Until 1989, the company's electronics could be readily identified by their heavy black aluminium casing. Since their replacement by the 'olive' range, the earlier vintages are affectionately known as 'chrome bumper' models<ref name=quaschik/> Electrically, the amplifiers are matched and designed to be used together. Naim warns against experimentation with other manufacturers components,<ref>Quote from product manual: "Some Naim amplifiers are designed only to work with Naim loudspeaker cable and using alternatives may degrade the performance or even damage the amplifier." [http://www.naimaudio.com/support/manuals Naim manuals for download]</ref> particularly in the case for some "[[high-end audio|high-end]]" [[Speaker wire|loudspeaker cables]], whose [[inductance|L]]/[[capacitance|C]] characteristics were said by Naim to present unstable loads to the high-current devices used inside Naim power amplifiers.<ref name=2003TNT/>

As with other brands such as [[A&R Cambridge Ltd|Arcam]] and Cyrus, the company's instruction manuals state that "better and more consistent performance will be achieved if the system is left switched on for long periods."<ref name=manuals>http://www.naimaudio.com/support/manuals</ref> Many reviewers have also remarked on equipment sounding significantly better several weeks after being left switched on.<ref name=200911hfjournal>[http://www.thehifijournal.com/index.php?c=equipment_reviews_details&id=34 "Naim Nait 5i"].

==Partnerships==
[[File:Nait1 JV.jpg|thumb|400px|Page of Naim Audio company calendar, February 1986, with image of founder Julian Vereker in a parody of a [[Mr Kipling]] advertising slogan]]During much of the 1970s and 80s, Naim adopted a symbiotic relationship with [[Linn Products]], and their names were often mentioned in the same breath. At that time, a Linn Sondek LP12 turntable, Naim electronics and Linn loudspeakers was the preferred combination for many a serious [[audiophile]].<ref name=naimthattune/>

The two companies had almost the same sales and marketing strategy, and shared many of the same retailers/dealers. As an upstart company, the company's founder was active in marketing and promotion – Julian Vereker himself appeared in the company's advertising. The company's emphasis on selling products through comparative demonstrations in a single-speaker environment was a move away from marketing space of the chain electronics stores in favour of small independent retailers [in the United Kingdom].

The two companies diverged during the 1980s, at the dawn of digital audio. This was partly due to the convergence of technology, but also because Naim had significantly fewer dealers than Linn. This presented problems for Linn dealers trying to sell Linn speakers which were specifically designed to work at their best with Naim amplification. Both Naim and Linn began broadening their product ranges and started encroaching on each other's historical areas of expertise: In 1985, Linn launched its LK1/LK2 amplification combination, signalling the definitive end of the partnership. Naim began making loudspeakers and Linn expanded its range of electronic components. In 1987, Naim announced that chief designer Guy Lamotte had been working on a prototype electrostatic speaker design, and that a product launch was imminent. However, the product never saw the light of day, having been axed because of cost escalation.<ref name=FL1>Christian Steingruber (October 2000). [http://membres.multimania.fr/jadai/GL/GL.htm "History of the Naim Audio FL1"] ''Hi-fi Answers'' (via personal website)</ref> In 1995, Naim announced the launch of the Armageddon power supply for the LP12.

In 2008, Naim partnered [[Bentley]] in the "Naim for Bentley" project, an optional upgrade in-car sound system which had a degree of customer acceptance that surpassed expectations of both partners.<ref name=20130606whfnaim40years/>

In 2010, Naim employed 140 staff. Naim's products are exported to more than 40 countries; half of its £15 million turnover is export. One-third of the business was from CD players.<ref name=quaschik/> In 2011, 60 percent of sales went to export markets.<ref name=Q&A/>

==Digital audio==
During much of the 1980s, Naim asserted that Compact Disc was a far inferior medium to the vinyl [[gramophone record]]. Early discs often lost something in the transfer compared to [[Gramophone record|vinyl]], and Naim continued to design their products in this context.<ref name=20130606whfnaim40years/> However, by 1990 technological advances allowed the production of the Naim CDS, the first CD player considered worthy of the Naim brand. The announcement in 1989 that the company was working on a CD player shocked the marketplace.<ref name=naimthattune/> The CDS CD player's was unusual for a two-box device in that Naim put the digital–analogue converter into the same box as the transport and audio circuitry whilst keeping the power supply separate.<ref name=20130606whfnaim40years/> The Naim CDS has since seen two major revisions (now in its CDS3 incarnation) since its launch in 1991; while subsequent lower-priced extensions to the line are often used by hi-fi reviewers as references at their respective price points. The CD555, which is the "money no object" flagship priced at £15,000, is heralded by Naim as "the ultimate CD player".

== Ownership==
At the time of his death, Julian Vereker held half of the share capital of the company. The other half was in the hands of employees, including Paul Stephenson who owned 16 percent. Vereker bequeathed his shares to be held in a trust of which Stephenson is trustee.<ref name=quaschik>Quaschik, Hartmut (26 August 2010). [http://www.webcitation.org/64eVYN6Ea "Interview with Paul Stephenson of Naim Audio UK :Once Cult – Now Facing The Future"]. TNT Germany. Archived from [http://www.tnt-audio.com/intervis/naiminterview_e.html the original] on 13 January 2012.</ref>

=== Merger ===
On 19 August 2011, Naim and [[Focal-JMLab]] announced a merger of both companies. Focal & Co., the new entity that will be formed to own the two existing operations will employ 325 people in total at two sites, in Saint Etienne, France, and Salisbury, UK. Pro-forma annual turnover of the new company is £48 million.<ref>http://www.focal.com/en/home-audio-loudspeakers/focal-jmlab/focal-and-naim.php</ref><ref>[http://www.webcitation.org/64eMykWEt "Passionate about sound, Focal & Naim unite"]. Naim Audio.
August 2011 [http://www.naimaudio.com/news/article/3395 the original] on 13 January 2012</ref>

According to a Q&A issued by the company, both brands will coexist and continue to operate independently. They promise no management changes, the same customer focus and experience as before. The industrial logic cited as "all about growth – not about finding financial synergies", with the focus on brand development through greater collaboration on R&D projects.<ref name=Q&A>Newsome, Clare (19 August 2011). [http://www.webcitation.org/64eMvdw2L "Q&A – Naim Audio and Focal merger"]. ''What Hi-Fi?''. Archived from [http://www.whathifi.com/blog/qa-naim-audio-and-focal-merger the original] on 13 January 2012.</ref>

The shareholders of Focal & Co are those that respectively owned the company prior to the merger (namely Jacques Mahul, [[Crédit Industriel et Commercial|CM-CIC]] and the management of Focal and Naim), suggesting the merger being executed by an exchange of shares for shares in the holding company. No ownership statistics and no valuation were mentioned.<ref name=Q&A/>

==[[Naim Label]]==
Naim also went into the record business in order to supply Compact Discs which were both technically and musically good enough to satisfy analogue/[[gramophone record|vinyl]] disciples. This was to be Vereker's personal project. The first CD to appear on the [[Naim Edge]] record label was ''[[Electric Glide]]'' by [[Gary Boyle]], one of the company's favourite vinyl demo records.<ref>Ward, Phil (June 2001) [http://www.webcitation.org/64eQLbDv5 "A NAIM OF NOTE - Recording For The Naim Label"].

==Plot==
During [[World War II]], [[Eric Lomax]] (Irvine) is a British officer who is captured by the Japanese [[Battle of Singapore|in Singapore]] and sent to a [[Thailand|Thai]] [[Prisoner of war|POW]] camp, where he is [[forced labour|forced to work]] on the [[Burma Railway|Thai-Burma Railway]] north of the [[Malay Peninsula]]. During his time in the camp, Lomax is tortured by the [[Kempetai]] for building a radio from spare parts.

==Reception==
===Critical response===

''The Railway Man'' received mixed to positive reviews. On [[Rotten Tomatoes]], the film has a score of 66% based on reviews from 107 critics, with the consensus: "Understated to a fault, The Railway Man transcends its occasionally stodgy pacing with a touching, fact-based story and the quiet chemistry of its stars."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_railway_man/ |title=The Railway Man |work=[[Rotten Tomatoes]] |publisher=[[Flixster]] |accessdate=6 July 2014}}</ref> At [[Metacritic]], which assigns a [[weighted average]] score out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the film received an average score of 59 based on 33 reviews, indicating "mixed or average reviews".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.metacritic.com/movie/the-railway-man |title=The Railway Man Reviews |work=[[Metacritic]] |publisher=[[CBS Interactive]] |accessdate=6 July 2014}}</ref>

Kidman, Firth, and Irvine were all praised for their roles. Katherine Monk of the [[The Gazette (Montreal)|Montreal ''Gazette'']] said of Kidman "It’s a truly masterful piece of acting that transcends Teplitzky’s store-bought framing, but it’s Kidman who delivers the biggest surprise: For the first time since her eyebrows turned into solid marble arches, the Australian Oscar winner is truly terrific" and finishing with "Coupled with some dowdy clothes and a keen ear for accents, Kidman is a very believable middle-aged survivor who will not surrender to melodrama or abandonment".<ref>http://www.montrealgazette.com/entertainment/movie-guide/Movie+review+Railway+highlights+Firth+Kidman/9775515/story.html</ref> Ken Korman agreed with the notion stating "Kidman finds herself playing an unabashedly middle-aged character. She rises to the occasion with a deep appreciation of her character’s own emotional trauma."<ref>http://www.bestofneworleans.com/blogofneworleans/archives/2014/04/25/review-the-railway-man</ref> Liam Lacey of ''[[The Globe and Mail]]'' stated "Firth gives the performance his all as a man trapped in a vortex of grief, shame and hate, but as in Scott Hicks’s Shine, which the film occasionally resembles, there’s an overtidy relationship between trauma and catharsis"<ref>http://www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/film/film-reviews/the-railway-man-firth-is-fine-but-still-cant-keep-this-on-track/article18196197/</ref>

===Box office===
The film grossed $4,415,429 in the USA, plus $17,882,455 outside the USA, for a combined gross of $22,297,884.<ref name="mojo"/>

==Historical accuracy==
Dr Philip Towle from the University of Cambridge, who specialises in the treatment of POWs, awarded the film three stars out of five for historical accuracy. Reviewing the film for History Extra, the website of ''BBC History Magazine'', he said that, while he had no problem with the representation of the suffering of POWs and of the way in which the Japanese are portrayed, "the impression [the film] gives of the postwar behaviour of former POWs of the Japanese is too generalised, and the crucial meeting between victim and perpetrator was fundamentally changed for dramatic effect."<ref>{{cite web|title=Historian at the Movies: The Railway Man reviewed|url=http://www.historyextra.com/feature/historian-movies-railway-man-reviewed|publisher=History Extra|accessdate=20 January 2014}}</ref>

Dr Towle said that Lomax's book makes clear that he prepared to meet one of his tormentors to seek some sort of closure. Yet, "to build up suspense, the film suggests that he went to the encounter determined on vengeance, and it was the meeting alone which led him to change his mind. The film also suggests that his tormenter was not expecting to meet Lomax, whereas in reality correspondence had prepared him for it".

Dr Towle also said the film "compressed the war so that it appeared as if the prisoners were rescued from the railway itself by the arrival of allied forces after the Japanese surrender.… In fact, the railway had been completed, as much as it was ever going to be, and the main dangers to the POWs came from starvation and disease, Allied bombing and the looming threat that all would be murdered by the Japanese at the end of the war".

Kalinago-Genozid 1626

2014-03-24T21:48:19Z

Lamro: +

The ''' Kalinago Genocide of 1626''' is a historical event occurred in the West Indian island of [[St. Kitts]] at Bloody Point.

==Event==
The [[Caribs]] realized that many more Europeans would come and settle in St. Kitts. The Caribs decided that the European settlers had to be destroyed. Large numbers of Caribs from [[Dominica]] and other neighbouring islands were invited to St. Kitts to help get rid of the settlers. However, the plan was told to one of the English settlers by a woman named Barbe. The English and French joined forces and launched a surprise night-time attack on the St. Kitts Caribs. According to [[Jean-Baptiste Du Tertre|Du Tertre]] (1667 I:6), between 100 and 120 Caribs were killed in their beds that night, with only the most beautiful Carib women spared death to serve as slaves. Having thus rid themselves of the local Caribs, the French and English subsequently divided the island between them and set about fortifying the island against the expected invasion of Caribs from other islands. In the ensuing battle, three to four thousand Caribs allegedly took up arms against the Europeans. Du Tertre gives no precise information on the number of Caribs killed, but mentions that the fallen Amerindians on the beach were piled high into a mound. The English and French suffered at least 100 casualties (Du Tertre 1667 I:6). It is said that the blood of the Caribs ran down [[Bloody River]] for three days. This is why the area was named [[Bloody Point]].

==Discussions==
The entire tale of the Kalinago Genocide, however, was told exclusively from the perspective and writings of the Europeans. A few historians now doubt their claims, saying that they were fraudulent or exaggerated in order to justify the killings. One such theory observes that the time of year of the Kalinago Genocide (late January) is referred to by the modern Kalinago as the season of Bat—due the abundance of bats at that time of year. Usually, raids on [[Taino]] and other [[Amerindians]] would take place at this time for sacrifices, etc., to appease Bat man to ensure that the dry season ends and that the wet season (season of Frog woman) begins. This would explain why so many Kalinago from various islands were present on St. Christopher at the time, as its Northern location on the borderline between Kalinago controlled and Taino controlled islands made it a base for such raids. The other theory is that the place of the massacre was deliberately the Kalinago place of worship, which would serve solely as a tool of fear for Kalinago from neighbouring islands.

However, these arguments are not considered to be very persuasive. Indeed the "Bat Man" theory rather supports the view that the Kalinago intended to slaughter the European settlers, since it emphasises that January was a time for human sacrifice, and European victims would have been particularly prized. The massacre was, unfortunately, the inevitable consequence of a grave miscalculation by the Kalinago. Their overconfidence led to their downfall.

Today, a white cross commemorates the slaughter of the Caribs.

==Plot==
During [[World War II]], [[Eric Lomax]] ([[Colin Firth]]) is a British officer who is captured by the Japanese in [[Singapore]] and sent to a [[POW]] camp, where he is [[forced labour|forced to work]] on the [[Burma Railway|Thai-Burma Railway]]. During his time in the camp, Lomax is tortured by the [[Kempetai]] primarily for building a radio.

Years later, and still suffering the psychological trauma of his wartime experiences, Lomax, with the help of his wife Patti, and best friend Finlay (Skarsgård), decides to find and confront one of his captors. Lomax returns to the scene of his torture and manages to track down his captor, Japanese officer Takashi Nagase (Sanada), from the prison camp, "in an attempt let go of a lifetime of bitterness and hate".<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118053217.html |title=Skarsgard, Sanada joins 'Railway Man': Pic stars Colin Firth, Nicole Kidman|first=Adam|last=Dawtry|work=Variety|date=2012-04-27|accessdate=2012-04-28}}</ref><ref name=Guard>{{cite news |url= http://www.theguardian.com/film/2012/apr/27/colin-firth-nicole-kidman-railway-man?newsfeed=true |title=Colin Firth and Nicole Kidman aboard for second world war film The Railway Man | Film | theguardian.com |first=Kirsty |last=Scott |work=theguardian.com |year=27 April 2012|accessdate=December 2, 2013}}</ref>

While he was working on the screenplay, co-writer [[Frank Cottrell Boyce]] travelled up to [[Berwick-upon-Tweed]] in [[Northumberland]] together with Colin Firth to meet the then-91 year old [[Eric Lomax]].<ref name=LE>{{cite news|url=http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/liverpool-news/in-the-mix/2011/09/29/frank-cottrell-boyce-enjoys-trip-to-northumberland-with-oscar-winner-colin-firth-100252-29505336/|title=Frank Cottrell Boyce enjoys trip to Northumberland with Oscar-winner Colin Firth |date=2011-09-29|accessdate=2012-04-28|work=[[Liverpool Echo]]| location=Liverpool, UK| first=Catherine | last=Jones}}</ref> Firth said of the film: "I think what is not often addressed is the effect over time. We do sometimes see stories about what it's like coming home from war, we very rarely see stories about what it's like decades later. This is not just a portrait of suffering. It's about relationships ... how that damage interacts with intimate relationships, with love."<ref name=Guard/>

[[Rachel Weisz]] was originally to play the role of Patti Lomax, but had to drop out due to scheduling conflicts for re-shoots for other films.<ref name=GC>{{cite news|url=http://www.goldcoast.com.au/article/2012/03/08/397781_more-gold-coast-gig-guide.html|title=Kidman, Firth to hit Coast for film|date=2012-03-08|accessdate=2012-03-08|work=Goldcoast.com.au| location=Queensland, Australia | first=Tanya | last=Westthorp}}</ref>

In January 2013, French action director [[Pierre Morel]] was in negotiations to direct [[Sean Penn]] in Prone Gunman, the action thriller being produced by [[Silver Pictures]]’ [[Joel Silver]] and Andrew Rona. The film is based on the 2002 novel ‘The Prone Gunman’ by [[Jean-Patrick Manchette]].<ref>http://www.thehollywoodnews.com/2013/06/16/ray-winstone-to-train-the-gunman/</ref>The movie is serving as [[Sean Penn]]’s entre into the action franchise game, so it’s fitting that he would work with Morel, who launched the reinvention of actor [[Liam Neeson]] as an action star with [[Taken (film)]]. The project from [[Silver Pictures]] is fully financing [[StudioCanal]] who sold out in [[2013 Cannes Film Festival]]. Pierre Morel is directing the action film, which previously went by the title Prone Gunman. Footage from that film was screened for buyers in [[Cannes]], which Studiocanal says helped fuel sales about the film. Morel was also in town to enthuse buyers. Studiocanal closed deals thas week in such territories as Scandinavia, Switzerland, China, Russia, Latin America, Benelux, Poland, the Middle East, Greece and Italy, where Rai acquired the pic in what is a rare direct buy for the company. Studiocanal is releasing in France, Germany, the UK, Australia and New Zealand. U.S. studios and indies are circling. I’m told the film is not part of Silver’s deal with Universal.“Our distributors were very impressed with the footage on Non-Stop and as a consequence we will do better on The Gunman internationally,” says Studiocanal sales EVP Harold van Lier. “They all see this as a potential franchise backed by the strongest possible creative team and a great story and character.”<ref>http://www.deadline.com/2013/05/cannes-raft-of-buyers-target-studiocanals-sean-penn-starrer-the-gunman/</ref>

'''''The Tall Man''''' is a 2012 Canadian and French mystery-thriller film written and directed by [[Pascal Laugier]]. It was filmed in the [[Kootenays|Kootenay]] region of Southeastern [[British Columbia]]<ref>{{cite web|last=Nesteroff|first=Greg|title=Finding Nelson in The Tall Man|url=http://www.nelsonstar.com/opinion/167235325.html?c=y&curSection=/&curTitle=BC+Opinion&bc09=true|work=Nelson Star|publisher=Black Press|accessdate=Aug 26, 2012}}</ref> and stars [[Jessica Biel]]. The film is set in a small former mining town where poverty is rife and children are disappearing on a regular basis. The abductions are blamed on a local [[Urban legend|legend]] called "the Tall Man". Jessica Biel plays a widowed nurse whose child is abducted, leading her on a desperate chase to recover him.

==Plot==
Julia lives in a small town in Washington called Cold Rock. She is the town's local nurse, widowed by her husband, who was the town's doctor. Cold Rock was formerly a prosperous [[mining town]], but has become poverty-stricken. There is little work, the school has been closed and the town is virtually vanished from the map. During her day, Julia visits several families. Jenny and Carol live with their mother and her violent, alcoholic boyfriend, who has impregnated Carol. Despite this, their mother did not kick him out, drawing Julia's ire. Instead, she sends away Carol and her baby, whom Julia helped to deliver. Because of her rough life, Jenny is selectively mute, communicating through a journal she carries. She also sketches things she's seen, including "the tall man". This is a local legend or [[urban myth]] surrounding a being who abducts local children who are never seen again.

Julia returns to her large home on the outskirts of Cold Rock, which she shares with her son David and his nanny. She eats dinner, puts David to bed, and falls asleep on a couch. She awakes to a noise downstairs, followed by a loud radio sermon. She finds the nanny bound and gagged, then rushes to her son's bedroom, finding him gone. While in pursuit of what the viewer believes is "The Tall Man", it is gradually revealed that David is not her son at all, but rather one of the kidnapped children. The kidnapper is actually the real mother of the boy, attempting to take back her child. The rest of the town, skeptical of the mother's accusations, agree to give her a chance to prove her claims.

Julia, with the help of Jenny, pursues the mother, reacquires David, and hands him off to "The Tall Man" in the tunnels which run under the town, left over from the defunct mine. Jenny begs her to send the Tall Man to take her, too. Julia initially refuses but then relents, cautioning her to remain silent about it until the Tall Man comes for her. Julia then waits in her house. The police and FBI arrive, as does an angry mob. The nanny hangs herself, and Julia is taken to jail, where she is despised and threatened as a child killer. Julia admits to kidnapping and murdering the children, but the confession is later revealed to be a lie. Julia is part of an organization which "rescues" young children from bad homes and places them with good ones, in an attempt to break the cycle of poverty and abuse which passes from one generation to the next.

Soon after, Jenny watches her mother engage in a drunken fight with her boyfriend, before laughing with him over it. Disgusted, Jenny walks off into a nearby field, where she finds the Tall Man waiting for her—Julia's husband, who is not dead after all. He takes her to an empty house in a nearby city, providing her with new clothes. He then delivers her to a new family, with a new identity. The Tall Man refuses payment, saying that the organization faces massive risks to rescue each child, with Julia martyring herself to save the organization.

In Cold Rock, Jenny's birth mother grieves over her runaway daughter, the town continues to decline, and Julia sits in prison. The police have given up on finding the children, thinking that Julia buried them in the tunnels which run for miles and are dangerous to travese because of cave ins, etc. In comparison, Jenny lives in a beautiful home, where her art is encouraged, and she has the best of everything. She has begun to talk and seems well-adjusted and happy. As she walks to an art class, she gives a voice-over expressing love and gratitude toward her three mothers: her birth mother, whom she misses; Julia, who gave her a chance at a new life; and her new mother, who is providing her with everything she could ever want. As she crosses a park, she sees David with his new family, which he now accepts as his own. (Jenny thinks he and the other younger ones have forgotten and do not recognize her, but the visual cues leave it decidedly open-ended.) Despite getting her wish of a better life, she sometimes wishes to return. Jenny's closing thoughts question society's implication that her new life is better.
