I will say that it has been the economic situation. Although, it looks good on paper, and it looks good theoretically. But the poverty is very high. We have seen that he has been closing all the public spaces and shut down any kind of politics. He has been arrested over than 80,000 Egyptians since 2013 to now. Dozens, hundreds of mass death sentence have been issued by his courts. Dozens have been executed every year. So there is unprecedented crackdown and unprecedented repressions that not even existed during the Mubarak era, which some people could say that Mubarak's era was a liberal era for Egypt if it's compared to what we have - we are living under now. Egypt is very fragile and far away from being stable.

We're hearing the call to prayer, of course, behind you. Did I hear you say that you might look back on the Mubarak era as a liberal, enlightened, progressive era for Egypt?

I would say that the significant differences between Mubarak and Sissi - Mubarak was a dictator. Let's agree on this. But there is a level of repression that actually will not cripple the state to function. And that was the situation under Mubarak. So the level of repression right now under Sissi really cripples the state of functioning.

Mr.  Zaree, does - near as you can tell, does President Sissi still have the support of the military who helped him gain power?

turn 2 : The level of repression makes it hard for the country to function on all levels.

turn 2 : The regime has been causing damage to the country and harming innocent people.

turn 2 : The people want visible and effective action against corruption and terrorism.

turn 2 : The Russian goverment doesn't get many chances to do the right thing where people all over the world will see and know about it.

turn 2 : They need the countries to realize this is the way things should be done in other countries.


The advice I'd give to others is, do your homework, and don't be afraid to do it. The one rule I gave myself was, it's OK if you fail. And coming from a type-A legal background, you don't make any mistakes. But in business, you have to be flexible. So, I allowed myself the freedom to make those mistakes and grow from them.

Have there been any moments when being an African-American entrepreneur has either hurt you or at least given some food for thought?

I'll take the food for thought. I'm a member of the International Spa Association. That's a pretty high-end spa group. And that market's OK, but other trade shows I would do, people would walk up and they'd say, oh, is this a black skin-care company?And I'm thinking, well, everybody has skin, irrespective of who you are - because they see me there. Even though the woman on the cover, model is - she's kind of every woman. She's actually Filipino and German, but people can't tell her background. But when they see my face there, they assume it's a company just for African-American skin, which is not the case.

When you think about that aspect of marketing, do you think that black companies that market directly to African-Americans, just very briefly, have an advantage or disadvantage over businesses like yours?

turn 0 : Being good at something is not enough for success.

turn 0 : Being honest about the current situation can help restore confidence

turn 0 : Breaking rules is necessary to be remembered and successful.

turn 0 : It's important to take risks and learn from failure.


turn 1 : A implies that the impact of the spoon on people's perception of food is not significant but it is a curious question.

turn 1 : The World Food Programme has to decide who is not going to get food due to the lack of resources, and those who are most in need often have to go without.

turn 1 : food for thought implies deep reasoning or a concern. Not really a meal to be eaten


turn 2 : Assuming a product is only for African-American skin based on the founder's race is wrong and harmful.

turn 2 : black per person implies African American person  and not a black color human being

turn 2 : The remark had racial undertones because of his skin color

turn 2 : The speaker is asking if the listener believes in racial justice and if it is possible to achieve it. The speaker suggests that African-Americans have debated this issue for a long time, indicating that it is a complex issue.

turn 2 : The culture and character of black people can be obtained from them if you get too close


We also heard singer-songwriter Ben Harper on that track. He wrote most of the songs on this album. He produced it. How did you two meet?Why do you think you clicked with him?

Well, Ben had written me a song for one of my other albums - "Livin' On A High Note. "And that song was "Love And Trust"

(Singing) Do what you can. Do what you must. Everybody's trying to find some love and trust. I walk the line. I walk it for us. See me out here trying to find some love and trust.

I fell so in love with that song. And every time we'd sing it, the audience - they would just roar, you know. It turned out so well. So I - we'd been singing it for a couple of years then. I ran into Ben on the road. That's where we would always meet up - somewhere on the road. And I told him. I said, Ben, that song - you have got to write me another song. He said, well, Mavis, why don't I write you 11 songs?I said, why don't you do that?He said, let's make an album. I said, sounds good to me. You know, I said, I don't know if I could handle 11 good songs from Ben Harper. He said, oh, yeah, you can handle it, Mavis.

turn 1 : The music in the beginning sounded like rap to me, which is a form of music that has a strong focus on rhythm and poetic lyrics.

turn 1 : The speaker is mentioning a song that reflects their current emotions.

turn 1 : The singer is not actually asking someone to show them the way home but rather expressing their loneliness and desperation due to feeling lost and without direction.

turn 1 :  Ben Harper wrote a song for A in the past and that's how they first met.

turn 1 : A is asking B if they have over a thousand songs.


turn 1 : The song title is "I Can't Make You Love Me"

turn 1 : The song 'Love and Trust' was written by Ben Harper for Mavis Staples

turn 1 : The song It's Real addresses a serious issue.


turn 2 : Mavis loved the song 'Love and Trust' so much that she wanted more songs from Ben Harper, which resulted in the album they made together

turn 2 : There are recent hit songs in the top 10 chart.

turn 2 : What matters is how the song makes a person feels and how it sounds.

turn 2 : Despite the relatively short period since its launch, iTunes has sold a lot of songs.

And why were charter schools exempted from those stipulations in the first place?

It was never in the original law. You got to remember, this law was written in 1992. We were only the second in the country to have one. And there was a lot that was not anticipated. This is before online schools, virtual schools. . .

Yeah.

. . . Existed. It's before remote schools existed. There's just a lot it didn't consider.

turn 1 : "essentially created a series of businesses or nonprofits that were doing business with their own schools" - The literal meaning of this sentence is that the couple established other organizations that had financial ties to their charter schools. However, the implied meaning is that they may have been using these organizations to divert public funds into their own pockets.

turn 1 : A: "It was never in the original law." The literal meaning of this statement is that the stipulations about charter schools were not included in the original law. The implied meaning is that the original law did not anticipate the development of charter schools, so there were no stipulations about them in the law.

turn 1 : "loopholes in California's charter school system" - The literal meaning of "loopholes" is gaps or flaws in a system or law that can be exploited. However, the implied meaning is that the charter school system in California has structural weaknesses that allow for abuses and inconsistencies in regulation.

turn 1 : "So this was public money that was coming into these schools, but the couple that ran them was financially benefiting from it" - The literal meaning of this sentence is that public funds were being used to support the couple's charter schools, and that the couple was making a profit from these funds. However, the implied meaning is that the couple may have been exploiting their positions of power to enrich themselves at the expense of the public education system.


Let me just unpack that. SIT: sexually transmitted infection?

Yes.

That's - okay. So, you've got a lot of diversity in the book, people of all races. Did you make a choice as to how to portray not just body size diversity of issue diversity, but also racial diversity?

Well, absolutely. I think that it's very important for a variety of reasons. Number one: Women need to be able to see themselves in print. So I made sure to include Asian women, Indian women, black, Hispanic women, white women, all shapes and sizes and all different types of bodies - not just super skinny, not just very large, but everybody in between: flat butts, big butts, big boobs, little boobs. . .

Everything's in "Body Drama. "And I did that because we want to see ourselves, but we're also really curious about what other people look like. And it's that information and acknowledgement that can really help us get over our own body drama, by seeing, oh, wow - I hear this from all the girls who look at the book. Oh, okay. My boobs aren't that bad after all.

And I'd take that to mean that women are sitting around looking in the mirror and then looking at the airbrushed magazines and looking at the surgically enhanced pornography. And when you see actual, real representations of bumpy nipples, of large areola, of imperfect sizes, where one is bigger than the other, then you can look in the mirror and say, all right. Well, actually, I am normal.

turn 0 : to carry something out means to do something

turn 0 : case implies a situation and not a pack or suitcase

turn 0 : B: Let me just unpack that.  Actual meaning: Let me clarify what you mean. Literal meaning: Let me take something out of a suitcase or package.

turn 0 : cases implies situations, issues or conditions and not suitcases or packs

turn 0 : The actual meaning was differ from the original meaning that is the right answer


Yes.

turn 4 : The hosts of the story series in the body issue wanted to cover all aspects of sports, including pee breaks. Implicated meaning: The hosts of the story series were willing to explore even the less glamorous aspects of sports and physical activity in their coverage.

turn 4 : "To see myself as a character and not as myself" - The speaker is not literally seeing themselves as a fictional character, but rather trying to distance themselves emotionally from their personal story in order to write it in an artistic and creative way.

turn 4 : In both of these turns, the implied meaning goes beyond the literal words used. The speaker is not simply asking about the reasons behind the human need to look at themselves or stating that it is innate and related to genetics. The implied meaning suggests a deeper exploration of human psychology and the significance of self-reflection as a part of our daily

turn 4 : Everything's in "Body Drama." And I did that because we want to see ourselves, but we're also really curious about what other people look like.

My boobs aren't that bad after all.  Actual meaning: Including a variety of body types in the book can help women feel more comfortable with their own bodies by showing them that others have similar experiences. Literal meaning: The book "Body Drama" includes information on a variety of body types because people are curious about what others look like.


But the increase in numbers, I mean, you're talking about going onto reefs and having hundreds to thousands times as many starfish on a reef as you normally would see, and that's a big difference.

Yeah, and you think of some of the runoff that might be coming onto the reef.

There's a lot of evidence that it is. The smoking gun hasn't been found yet, but there's a lot to think that the runoff may be contributing to this. We're definitely - the Australian data show that they're seeing more frequent outbreaks of these sea stars in recent decades, and they think that especially nutrients but other parts of runoff may be to blame.

If you can get them - get the die-off under control, how much of a recovery could we expect from the reef system?

turn 1 : The significant increase in the number of starfish is a cause for concern

turn 1 : Runoff may be contributing to the increase in starfish population.

turn 1 : The implications in (3) is that the dolphins may have trouble adjusting to the new environment due to them being used to living in aquariums.

turn 1 : Crown-of-thorn starfish eat coral and leave it dead behind


They asked me to consider that, you know, almost without exception, these are young people in federal facilities who are separated from their families. They're in a strange place. They're dealing with stress and uncertainty every day. They fled poverty. They fled possibly violence in their home countries. And so they desperately need the semblance of a daily routine.

And analogously, if you look at studies done in hospital settings with chronically ill children, when they have access to play, they do better. They heal faster. They have lower levels of stress. And similarly, after natural disasters like Hurricane Harvey, Hurricane Katrina, there started to be interest in the therapeutic benefits of play access.

A very simple thing that Dr.  Cantor told me is that when your brain is being bombarded with stress hormones every day, you actually need to move your body even more than usual so you can get oxygen to your brain. And this oxygenation - it helps buffer potentially long-term damage.

Just in our last 30 seconds, what does the law say here?Could there be legal challenges?

turn 0 : Separated young people in federal facilities desperately need a daily routine.

turn 0 : They suppose that informing young people in an engaging way would be appropriate.

turn 0 : The government of the United States is treating families seeking asylum inhumanely.

turn 0 : ORR needs to process children faster to ease Border Patrol stations.

turn 0 : The education system is not working properly and is causing a lot of stress for students.


turn 2 : Managing stress requires dealing with its physical effects on the body.

turn 2 : Physical touch and affection can help complete the stress response cycle and create a feeling of safety.

turn 2 : The brain is capable of adjusting to normalcy after experiencing an unusual situation.

turn 2 : I am working harder now than I used to, sometimes until late at night

turn 2 : Moving your body more than usual can help buffer long-term damage caused by stress.


That's right. They assumed, as I think much of the media assumed, that the Clinton campaign was going to be a true juggernaut. And when it collapsed I went back and talked to the people directly involved, and they knew it was not a juggernaut. The word they used repeatedly, and I'm talking her top people, more than a dozen of them, the word they used repeatedly is that the campaign was dysfunctional.

They had some big names running their campaign, but when I just went through the simple process of checking out their biographies, I found that their campaign manager, Patti Solis Doyle, had never worked in a presidential campaign before. Their deputy campaign manager, Mike Henry, had never worked in a presidential campaign before. Even Howard Wilson, who became a media superstar, he was her communications director, he had never worked in a presidential campaign before.

But well. . .

If you go through the list of Obama people, the top four, five, six people had not just worked in presidential campaigns before, but they worked in that critical area which gets very little attention, but is absolutely essential, and that's called field operations. It means going into states, setting up shop, organizing, getting people door knocking, getting people calling and getting delegate victories.

turn 0 : it is a metaphorical field, it just means there are not as many candidates running for the election as there was in the past because some decided not to continue running

turn 0 : The behavior was unacceptable to what the people would accept.

turn 0 : "the campaign was dysfunctional" - This phrase means that the campaign was not functioning effectively or smoothly, rather than literally being a physical or mechanical dysfunction.

turn 0 : "larger struggles that were embodied in those arguments" Actual meaning: The arguments between the speaker and their mother were about more significant issues. Non-literal meaning: None.

turn 0 : (1) Implied meaning: Are you suggesting that despite the good things Franklin Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln did, they were still wrong for certain actions?


And the president did a victory dance in the end zone on Twitter after he was fired. He said Andrew McCabe being fired is a great day. He said he knew all about the lies and corruption going on at the highest levels of the FBI. Then what happened was even more significant because the president's private lawyer John Dowd released a statement saying that now that McCabe has been fired, he hopes that acting Attorney General Rosenstein will follow Jeff Sessions' lead and bring an end to the Mueller investigation. Now, at first, Dowd said he was speaking for the president when he issued this statement. Later, he backtracked, although it doesn't really matter.

Yeah. It's not news, though, that the president hates the Mueller probe. He's been pretty vocal about that on Twitter. Why is his lawyer statement so important?

It's important because it's a change in the legal strategy. Up until now, Donald Trump has always stopped short of saying something that could be perceived as an order to Rod Rosenstein to fire Mueller. He's always said, no, I'm not going to fire him. He's even said he looks forward to talking to him. Now it looks like they're opening a new phase, openly calling on the Department of Justice to shut down the Mueller investigation.

The Democrats have been pretty vocal. I've been seeing a lot of their reaction. Do we know what the Republicans in Congress have been saying or doing?

turn 0 : McCabe faced intense questioning and scrutiny by Republicans.

turn 0 : President celebrated the firing of Andrew McCabe despite the event being controversial

turn 0 : The government rigged the election and caused violence.

turn 0 : Trump's tweet was an attempt to influence the outcome of the military trial


turn 0 : The president's reaction is self-destructive, but predictable due to his past involvement in media spats.

turn 0 : President's victory dance is not an actual dance.2. President is happy about Andrew McCabe's firing.3. President's lawyer is asking for Mueller investigation to be shut down.4. President has been vocal on Twitter about his dislike for Mueller investigation.5. President has not given an order to Rod Rosenstein to fire Mueller before.

turn 0 : The president thinks that the media is out to ruin him and makes them out to be evil.


turn 2 : Trump is now openly calling for the Mueller investigation to be shut down

turn 2 : The congressional committees are trying to gain public attention and support for their investigations, while Mueller is working in the shadows and his findings will only be revealed when it is time to take legal action.

turn 2 : The person thinks there is contitutional responsibility to investigate areas that the president has said not to. The Mueller team did not as the president told them to investigate only so much and then to stop.

turn 2 : Mueller should be respected and trusted, even though he has been wrongfully attacked and criticized.


But writing in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers report that they have been able to trace back the origins of viticulture in France to about 500 BC, using a combination of archaeological detective work and biomolecular approaches in the lab. And one of the men who's been studying the origins of winemaking for many years, the man some people call the Indiana Jones of wine, is Patrick McGovern, scientific director of the Biomolecular Archaeology Laboratory at the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology in Philadelphia.

He's authored many books, including "Ancient Wine: A Search for the Origins of Viniculture," "Uncorking the Past: The Quest for Wine, Beer and Other Alcoholic Beverages. "He joins us this week. Welcome.

Hello, Ira, nice to talk to you.

Why do they call you the Indiana Jones of. . .

turn 3 : Why do they call the person an adventurist risk taker?

turn 3 :  (4) Implies an acknowledgement of the dangerous risks taken when crossing the border illegally.

turn 3 :  Implied meaning: There is a fear of the spread of Zika, malaria, cholera, and other diseases due to the lack of access to aid.

turn 3 : The implied meaning is that B's special person is being given the utmost care and protection.

turn 3 : They are worried about any negative consequences of their actions and will fix them quickly.


No. And this is just a temporary fix. We're now about to put in some type of permanent action to help them further.

Boy, you know, I know it went viral and there are a lot of people to thank, but I can't get over the fact that it began with you. And there are just so many of us who say, oh, that's terrible. Someone should do something. You decided to make yourself that someone.

Yeah. I mean, there was a lot of people pulling up, dropping off food, blankets, and that's fine. Well, below zero, the food was getting cold as soon as someone set it out there.

Yeah. Well, sounds like you've changed their lives and they've changed yours.

turn 2 : It's important to emphasize not to put raw food in the same container

turn 2 : The World Food Programme has to decide who is not going to get food due to the lack of resources, and those who are most in need often have to go without.

turn 2 : It is being implied that setting out the food was a temporary fix.

turn 2 : Breakfast is going to be a serious problem

turn 2 : It is important to taste the food to ensure proper seasoning


OK.  Let's start with those navigators you spoke of. Now, in what way have they been considered quite necessary?

So the navigators give people in-person one on one help to help choose a health plan and to sign up. And, you know, health insurance is very confusing. There's deductibles. There are the premiums. There are copayments, so it's really hard to know what services you're going to get and what it's really going to cost. But HHS says after several years, they aren't really necessary anymore because now people understand insurance better, so they don't need that kind of intensive help. Navigator defenders, though, don't agree because they say now their role is to get to those people who still after all these years haven't gotten insurance.

The ones that in a way are most confused. . .

Exactly.

turn 1 : Despite HHS claiming people understand insurance better, navigators still play an important role in helping uninsured individuals choose health plans

turn 1 : Despite the court case, people can still enroll for insurance

turn 1 : Insurance companies did not make a significant profit from Obamacare in the beginning.

turn 1 : The implied meaning of this turn is that the implementation of the ACA has not achieved its goals as intended, as evidenced by the fact that many states have opted out of Medicaid, leaving many people uninsured and leading to an increasing number of rural hospital closures.


Of course.

Why if the students two were traveling in five buses - why the target was just two?And also, these two buses were exactly the two buses that the army and the Federal Police - start to monitor it since three hours before. I mean, these two buses were the two buses where the students were traveling from the school to Iguala. Why?So what I was able to found is that in these two buses were inside in secret parts of the bus. . .

The secret compartment.

. . . Yes - heroin - 2 millions of heroin. They. . .

turn 1 :  implies that the investigators used information from the traffickers to further investigate the route of the people who survived the tragedies.

turn 1 : They had something on the bus that the authorities were interested in.

turn 1 : A agreed to do something but later realized it wasn't what they wanted

turn 1 : can be interpreted as a way to inquire about the current situation in the city, not just the events taking place.

turn 1 : The situation was dire and I was desperate to get to my destination.


Of course.

The secret compartment.

turn 2 : Secret compartment where they stored the "illegal stuff" on the bus.

turn 2 : A evacuated on their own accord to avoid traffic.

turn 2 : The person complained publicaly about things that were illegal and private.

turn 2 : The boat had engine trouble and flooded due to a group of Delta commandos shuffling to the back


Well, the president fires the attorney general. The new guy fires the special counsel. History repeats itself. No, the president - President Nixon understood the Constitution. He understood how to govern. He knew he was walking a tightrope. So when a lot of different people in Congress, the public, the courts stood up and showed their courage and they were outraged and started to push back, he backed down. He let the investigation continue. And 10 months later, he resigned. This time it looks like a circus where the clowns are walking a tightrope in slow motion and some people are cheering as if it's a joke. But it's not a joke.

Mr.  Doyle, I must say you sounded almost wistful speaking about Richard Nixon.

(Laughter) Well, yeah. You know, I've never compared Richard Nixon to Thomas Jefferson before. Never thought I should. But I told someone yesterday that compared to Donald Trump, Richard Nixon is Thomas Jefferson.

All right. I'll leave that as your opinion.

turn 0 : The current situation is chaotic and not following the rules of the Constitution

turn 0 : Congress and the president are not working at the moment.

turn 0 : A implies that the process of political maneuvering can be absurd and comical to an outside observer.

turn 0 : Trump's executive order may not be achieving anything new.

turn 0 : The president is trying to prioritize the needs of those who have been forgotten by society.


turn 0 : White House conducts briefings in an inappropriate way.

turn 0 : The current situation with the president and the special counsel is chaotic and lacks the same level of understanding and respect for the Constitution that Nixon had.

turn 0 : Nixon saw his support leave him and realized that if stayed president he would lose money.


turn 2 : He would be fulfilling a government role and Trump makes it look like he does all of the work.

turn 2 : Even the most sycophantic people around the president think he's vile and ludicrous.

turn 2 : The president doesn't seem to be acting like a tyrant, despite speculation that he's using more power since winning the election.

turn 2 : Donald Trump is much worse than Nixon as a president and does not have the same level of political intelligence or ability to govern.


Right, right. Yeah, I mean, that's the obvious question to ask, and we're not really sure. I mean, the biggest difference is that it's not producing these radio jets at the rate it should be. So typically the central galaxy in a cluster is shooting out these really bright jets that you can see from here in the radio. But this one is giving off - instead of radio, it's giving off a lot of gamma ray and X-ray, and so it seems to be almost confused about what type of black hole it is. It's giving off sort of quasar-like emission rather than this sort of more quiet, more gentle emission.

Hmm, who am I, asks the black hole?

(Unintelligible). How is this cluster discovered?

So it was initially discovered a few years ago by the South Pole Telescope, which is a telescope that's essentially built to find these really massive clusters. And so it looks at light from the Big Bang, which is a background radiation; it looks for shadows in that light. And these clusters are so massive that they're going to cast a shadow in this background radiation. And so that's how this cluster was first found.

turn 1 : The universe is not always the same and new matter is needed for it to stay the same.

turn 1 : The actual meaning was differ from the original meaning that is the right answer

turn 1 : The black hole seems confused about its identity.

turn 1 : They found something that is not the real thing but close to it.


I think the purpose of the announcement today was, at least to some extent, about the huffing and puffing that Ilan Goldenberg mentioned in the prior commentary. But it's also, I think, a reaction to some sense that there was an appearance that the policy had begun to soften a bit because of the president's decision not to retaliate and some of his seemingly conciliatory rhetoric over the weekend.

Right. So after a year or so of what the Trump administration describes as a maximum pressure campaign on Iran, how do you increase the pressure from maximum, I guess, is the question.

Well, and that's the dilemma that the administration is beginning to face - that once you've sanctioned all of the major industries and sectors of the Iranian economy, there's very little that you can do that's not already redundant or just largely incremental. It also, I think, highlights the fact that the Iranian economy - what's left of it - has become more insular and less interconnected, which means whatever economic activity continues in Iran today is going to be more resilient to U. S.  penalties.

Now, the White House says this is all a means of getting Iran to the negotiating table. Do you think these steps are likely to do that, likely to have that effect?

turn 0 : The speaker uses 'literally' in a figurative sense.

turn 0 : "the huffing and puffing" and "soften a bit" are figurative expressions whose actual meanings are different from their literal meanings.

turn 0 : None of the turns in this conversation have a figurative or non-literal meaning.

turn 0 : None of the turns have implied meanings that are different from their literal meanings. They all convey their literal meanings without any hidden or implied messages.

turn 0 : None of the words in turn (1) have a different meaning from their literal meanings.


Yeah, it looks absolutely beautiful.

'Cause I've seen this painting - it's enormous. (Laughter) And I'm trying to picture, A, what that's like for people and, B, why you thought it was important for the public to see it as it was happening.

Well, I think there's two factors. And one is that the painting is - it's very large. So you know, removing it from the galleries would also present a certain amount of risk. And the other thing is that it's not really possible at this time to say how long the research or the treatment will actually take. All in all, this is really the best possible scenario to actually treat it in the galleries, where it can be followed by the public. I think the public actually find it fascinating to look behind the scenes.

I'm sure you couldn't have imagined that the painting would have been attacked with a bread knife, and you're doing quite the operation here. So what are some of the challenges and obstacles that, you know, are making you guys nervous?

turn 1 : B is implying that the painting is so large that it's difficult to picture how it looks, not that it's physically impossible for A to imagine it. B is also implying that A may have thought it was important for the public to see the painting because of its size, not necessarily because of its significance.

turn 1 : They are not painting but describing the man in a certain way.

turn 1 : paint a portrait means that they are asking for an explanation of the area in this context.

turn 1 : This is implying that A believes art should have an interesting or captivating element to it.


Yeah, it looks absolutely beautiful.

turn 2 : The key point is made to make people want to learn more about what happened.

turn 2 : behind the scenes - to see the inner workings of things

turn 2 : The information does not boil down, but it gets to the most practical facts.

turn 2 : The kids will begin to think of ideas as they explore on their own.

turn 2 : what they meant is that it's going to impress their brains later


Yeah, it looks absolutely beautiful.

turn 3 : The implied meaning is that B's special person is being given the utmost care and protection.

turn 3 : B is implying that the situation is challenging and nerve-wracking for those involved in the operation, not necessarily that A and their team are nervous.

turn 3 : (4) Seriously? could mean that B is surprised, does not believe, or is challenging A's statement.

turn 3 : (4) is a straightforward denial of B's implied meaning, and does not carry any additional implied meanings beyond that.

turn 3 : B is expressing sympathy for the people who sent the probe, showing that they understand why they feel so disappointed.


Absolutely not - no deal. You know, Congress recognized, when the Environmental Protection Agency was established in 1970, that California was the first to set their own car standards, even before we had a federal agency dealing with air pollution. And they have allowed California, for the last 50 years, to set emission standards that are more stringent than the federal government. So California has been the laboratory of innovation when it comes to reducing emissions from cars.

Is the auto industry essentially telling the Trump White House it's going to be - it's going to create market instability for us to have to manufacture according to U. S.  national standards and California national standards?

That's one of the issues. But it's more than that. Because if the Trump administration moves forward rolling back the standards, California and 18 other states that reflect more than 50% or 60% of the car sales in the country will challenge that decision in courts. And it will take three to four years. . .

Oh.

turn 0 : So California has been where innovation has been occuring and tested.

turn 0 : The White House and California are in a disagreement about auto emissions.

turn 0 : The problems of today are the necessity for innovation to occur.

turn 0 : Sectors that grown when the economy is failing do better when the economy begins to improve.  The techology sector as a whole is trying hard to make money.

turn 0 : Despite the progress and growth in the South, there are still underlying issues that need to be addressed.


What I can tell you is that they are very interested in immigration. They are very concerned about the numbers of people who have been crossing the border in recent months, and they feel like Congress isn't giving the president what he wants. You know, I've been talking to voters both here and in the area yesterday. And I'd ask people - you know, what is the most important issue to you?And again and again and again, they brought up immigration.

Describe the scene for us there in Orlando. I know people have been camping out for this rally. What's the atmosphere like?

It's this, you know, festival atmosphere that often pops up around a Trump rally. There were people lined up, as you say. I came out at 8 o'clock this morning and walked around, and the line was very, very, very long. And then it turned into Woodstock because there was a massive thunderstorm - I mean, just an unbelievable thunderstorm and lightning and thunder. And there was a sign that went up on a big electronic board that said, we encourage you to take shelter. No one took shelter. Everybody stayed exactly where they were in line as mud just built up around them on the ground. They weren't about to get out of line.

OK. This is the mud part of Woodstock, not the free lover, psychedelics part of Woodstock.

turn 0 : They are on a list of people that are treated badly by the country.

turn 0 : The speaker wants to address the negative views towards immigrants in America and reject white nationalism and xenophobia

turn 0 : The situation is more dire than what is being reported, as the resources available are not able to meet the needs of the refugees.

turn 0 : The situation of sick children at the border is worse than immigration officials claim

turn 0 : People are concerned about immigration, not just interested.


Yes - beat me with a rifle - butt of a rifle.

Calvin Woods was also prosecuted for preaching against segregation. It was the law then.

I was speaking out against segregated buses. I was guilty of that and told them that they pay their money to sit down where there's a seat. And you don't have to get up, give anybody your seat unless that's what you want to do. So I was arrested, sentenced to six months hard labor and fined $500.

Calvin Woods and hundreds more in Birmingham were American heroes. But he says he'd like his children and his 60-some grandchildren to know it is always right to do right.

turn 0 : This made the person have to stay where they were at.

turn 0 : Standing up for what is right even if it goes against the law.

turn 0 : The situation is uncertain and they need to take it one step at a time

turn 0 : you imply that something is the case

turn 0 : There is a dangerous situation happening that requires people to seek shelter and take precautions.


turn 0 : Turn (1) has an implicated meaning that is different from its literal meaning. Although the speaker denies that the remarks were racially motivated, the implication is that the speaker believes they were in fact racially motivated, and is trying to downplay or avoid addressing that implication.

turn 0 : Implied meaning: People are feeling resentment and anger towards people who think they don't have to follow the same rules as everyone else.

turn 0 : The speaker was falsely accused and wrongfully blamed.

turn 0 : The speaker disagrees with the other person's argument.

turn 0 : implies that the speaker was advocating for themselves to be violently punished,


And 18-year-old?

Yeah, from the Internet.

Don't try this - well, he tried it at home, I guess.

He's - I mean, so he's, you know, he sent me like his amazing pictures of jet engines in what looks like a basement, you know, flaming out.

turn 3 : Implied meaning: The speaker may be using humor or sarcasm to make a point or convey a message in a lighthearted way.

turn 3 : Implied meaning: The speaker may be using understatement or exaggeration to convey a message, often to emphasize a point or to add humor to a situation.

turn 3 : Implied meaning: The speaker may be using a sarcastic or ironic tone to convey their true feelings or opinions about the situation, without explicitly stating them.

turn 3 : In this turn, the speaker is using sarcasm and irony. The literal meaning suggests that the person being discussed sent impressive pictures of jet engines in a basement, which are flaming out. However, the actual meaning implies that the person's actions or pictures were not impressive or desirable.

turn 3 : Implied meaning: The speaker may be using sarcasm or irony to convey a different meaning than what is being explicitly stated.


The way I coped with these disasters was seeing myself as the hero of my own story and thinking oh, okay, in the story, the guy survives. He doesn't kill himself. He doesn't commit himself to a mental hospital. He actually survives and thrives and overcomes these obstacles.

And in addition to that, you've also had kidney problems, and you talk really frankly about just how much strength it took you to do really basic things because you were constantly dealing with your body rebelling against you.

Yeah, I'm going through that right now. I'm on the top of the list for a transplant now, and I don't really want a transplant right now because I'm doing all right. So at this point, I'm kind of bring it on. I'm just, you know, I can take it.

What about the good stuff?There are many good things in your life, and two of them are Eva and Chet(ph), your kids. What are they like?

turn 0 : "To see myself as a character and not as myself" - The speaker is not literally seeing themselves as a fictional character, but rather trying to distance themselves emotionally from their personal story in order to write it in an artistic and creative way.

turn 0 : "seeing myself as the hero of my own story" is a metaphorical expression meaning to view oneself as the protagonist in one's own life story and to take control of the situation.

turn 0 : "It makes you consider your own brain, I suppose." - This turn is a figurative expression that means the speaker is reflecting on their own life and experiences in comparison to the circumstances of the individuals whose brains were taken.

turn 0 : to take on a role in this context means to act like a character.


turn 1 : A "knee-jerk reaction" in this phrase doesn't refer to the legs. The implied meaning is an automatic response to something, done without much thought. Akin to how when your knee is struck your leg flexes - no thought, pure reflex.

turn 1 : "took a lot out of my legs" - This expression is an idiom used to describe feeling physically exhausted or drained after an activity. It does not literally mean that something was taken out of the speaker's legs.

turn 1 : The literal meaning of the turn is asking why they want to cause violence, but the implied meaning is asking why they find violence appealing or attractive.

turn 1 :  "body rebelling against you" is a metaphorical expression meaning to refer to the speaker's body reacting negatively to their kidney problems.

turn 1 : Implied meaning: The speaker is subtly suggesting that the other person is being unreasonable or unrealistic in their expectations or demands.


turn 2 : Come to the table means to show up or to engage with others.

turn 2 : "bring it on" is an idiomatic expression meaning to welcome or accept a challenge, even if it is difficult.

turn 2 : The speaker is hinting that the situation is difficult or complex.

turn 2 : Although the literal meaning of this turn is simply an acknowledgement or agreement, the implied meaning behind it is that the speaker may not be fully engaged or interested in the conversation. It could be interpreted as a way of signaling disinterest or a desire to move on to a different topic.

turn 2 : "we're going to have to face some difficult questions" - This turn is meant to suggest that there are challenging issues that need to be addressed following the recent attacks. The actual meaning of the turn is the same as its literal meaning.


turn 3 : not a literal meaning but rather a rhetorical question.

turn 3 : there are no turns in this conversation. whose actual meaning are different from their literal meanings. all of the turn are being used in a straight forward and literal meaning.

turn 3 : None of the turns in this conversation have a figurative or non-literal meaning.

turn 3 : This turn does not have an implied meaning different from its literal meaning. It is a straightforward expression of gratitude towards Laura Sydell, the NPR correspondent.

turn 3 : This turn is literal in meaning, as it is a straightforward question asking about the speaker's children.


It was interesting, because my first novel, "Platitudes," was pretty fictional. My second two novels, "Right Here, Right Now" and "Home Repairs," especially "Home Repairs," was pretty autobiographical.

So this time, I really wanted to try my hand at writing a novel about myself. So I tried to write it as artfully as you would write a novel with the same kind of conceits that I put into, let's say, "Platitudes," like kind of funny screenplays and music lyrics and footnotes, and write it artistically but tell the story of my life.

And that was the tricky part, to see myself as a character and not as myself.

You have - at one point in the book, you talk about all these dreams that you had to write books and to direct, and you write: I'm convinced that my delusion of seeing the story of my life as just that, a grand story, is the only thing that has staved off even more debilitating mental illnesses.

turn 2 : "seeing myself as the hero of my own story" is a metaphorical expression meaning to view oneself as the protagonist in one's own life story and to take control of the situation.

turn 2 : "To see myself as a character and not as myself" - The speaker is not literally seeing themselves as a fictional character, but rather trying to distance themselves emotionally from their personal story in order to write it in an artistic and creative way.

turn 2 : trying to place myself in his mind implies a persons way of thinking and/or their point of view

turn 2 : Implicated meaning: The speaker is expressing a desire to create a character in their book who is strong and believable, rather than simply creating a character who is physically strong. The implied meaning is that the speaker values depth and authenticity in their character portrayal, rather than creating a one-dimensional, superficial character.


To be honest, I don't trust Obama not a bit.

Why?

Because he keeps saying things which doesn't exist. And we were, as Arab countries, hoping when he was new elected that maybe he is a bit better than the former Bush. But it seems to be that every president come to the United States is not carrying on anything except what's help Israel, which it's their little tribe to be care.

What do you think a U. S.  military strike might do on the ground?And I know you can't necessarily know where any bombs would fall, but how do you think that'll affect your life?

turn 0 : None . There's nothing in this that implies anything.

turn 0 : None , I do not believe there is any here


So, Bill, what do you make of the president's remarks?

Every time I hear President Bush talk about billions, I start thinking about Carl Sagan and talking about billions of stars and billions of this. Part of the problem when I listen to and consider what President Bush is talking about is more what he doesn't talk about, that U. S.  aid to Africa is significant in terms of dollar amounts that are mentioned, but as a percentage of what the United States does offers internationally, it's actually not all that significant.

A couple of years ago, I did a little research on this and discovered that U. S.  aid to Africa, if you withdraw Egypt, is less than Israel. That is - that the total aid is less than the aid to one country, a key ally of the United States. So that figure told me a little bit about the priorities of the United States.

The second thing is that there are regularly strings attached to U. S.  aids. So whether it's the assistance to combat HIV and AIDS, there are these strings around the issue of abstinence, abstinence only, as a condition for significant amounts of aid to combat that disease. A second issue is that whereas the United Nations has had a internationally recognized program combating AIDS/HIV, tuberculosis, malaria, the Bush administration has refused to give full funding to that U. N.  program and instead was more interested in setting up its own bureaucracy to offer assistance, which seems to be run contrary all of the rhetoric about a, you know, that conservatives often offer about eliminating costs.

turn 1 : The speaker is stating that the amount of money being discussed is significant not just to themselves, but also to most people in the country. This suggests that there may be financial hardship or inequality that the speaker is aware of.

turn 1 : “First, there was a free introductory course where students were told they could make tens of thousands of dollars in just a couple of months using Trump's investment techniques.” - Implied meaning: The students were misled into believing that they could make a lot of money quickly by using Trump's investment techniques.

turn 1 : Every time I hear President Bush talk about billions, I start thinking about Carl Sagan and talking about billions of stars and billions of this. - Implied meaning: A is critical of President Bush's remarks, particularly regarding U.S. aid to Africa and his failure to discuss its significance in terms of international aid offered by the United States.

turn 1 : In (2), President Obama's commitment of money and military personnel is a literal statement, but it implies that he is taking action to help with the Ebola crisis.


turn 2 : We're also in a situation where the administration has sent very limited aid budgets to Congress. And fortunately because of the commitment that Congress continues to show, they've actually rejected those steep cuts to humanitarian aid and provided strong funding - robust funding for humanitarian assistance. But we need to see that funding really get out of the bank accounts in D.C. and get out to the ground, where it's needed.  Implicated meaning: Despite the administration sending limited aid budgets to Congress, Congress has shown commitment by rejecting steep cuts to humanitarian aid and providing strong funding. However, it is necessary for the allocated funding to be effectively utilized and reach the areas where humanitarian assistance is required.

turn 2 : A couple of years ago, I did a little research on this and discovered that U.S. aid to Africa, if you withdraw Egypt, is less than Israel. That is - that the total aid is less than the aid to one country, a key ally of the United States. So that figure told me a little bit about the priorities of the United States. - Implied meaning: A is suggesting that the United States' priorities may be misguided in terms of the amount of aid provided to Africa compared to other countries such as Israel.

turn 2 :  (4) implies that the US is trying to reach a political solution to the conflict in Syria, but without a strategy to deal with Assad and the refugee crisis.

turn 2 : "And I know a large part of your speech was devoted to the idea that they should hold off and reassuring them the United States would take action if necessary and that Israeli action would be counterproductive." - The actual meaning here is not about the meaning of the words used but rather about the speaker acknowledging the content of the other person's speech and seeking clarification.

turn 2 : Implies that the sanctions put in place by the UN Security Council and the US government are more of the same and not necessarily new or different in any meaningful way.


It's like a bird treadmill. I mean, it's the same idea, right?

Right.

And the point of this study, which Ivo Ros is doing, was to figure out how much energy it takes to fly. So they have a little heart monitor hooked up to the cockatiels. But again, like imagine what this is like for the cockatiels. So there's all this training involved because for a bird to be flapping their wings and not going anywhere is really weird. So they have to, you know, encourage them not to sit on the bars. And it just was. . .

There's no scenery changing.

turn 2 :  In turn (4), the speaker describes the birds "flying" in the wind tunnel with the wind blowing in their faces, which is not a literal description of flight but rather an approximation of the experience.

turn 2 : "But again, like imagine what this is like for the cockatiels." - The speaker is not asking the listener to imagine the experience of being a cockatiel, but rather to empathize with the potential discomfort and stress that the birds may experience during the experiment.

turn 2 : (3) is a sign of amusement, indicating the speaker was laughing at the metaphor.

turn 2 : Preventing a cockroach from grooming presents an interesting challenge means it's difficult to get a cockroach to stop grooming


Right.

There's no scenery changing.

turn 3 : "There's no scenery changing." - The literal meaning of this phrase is that there is no change in the scenery, but in the context of the conversation, it is used to suggest that the experiment may be boring for the cockatiels, as they are not able to fly and experience changes in their environment as they would in the wild.

turn 3 :  In turn (4), the speaker describes the birds "flying" in the wind tunnel with the wind blowing in their faces, which is not a literal description of flight but rather an approximation of the experience.

turn 3 : In turn (4), the speaker is expressing admiration for a place they are visiting, specifically highlighting the presence of an emu and a day-old goat. The literal meaning of the turn is that the speaker finds the place charming and enjoys the presence of the animals. However, the implied meaning of the turn is that the speaker may be easily impressed or may have a naive or idealized view of rural life. The use of the word "bucolic" suggests a romanticized view of the countryside, and the excitement over the presence of relatively common animals suggests a lack of familiarity with rural environments. The turn implies that the speaker may not have a deep understanding of the realities of agricultural life and may be easily swayed by superficial or picturesque elements.

turn 3 : "Have you been able to restore the populations to any extent?" This turn has a literal meaning. It asks whether any progress has been made in increasing the population of the tortoises.

turn 3 : Turn (4): "And it remains to be seen what climate is actually going to do." This response is a figurative way of saying that the future is uncertain and unpredictable. The literal meaning of the words is that the speaker does not know what the climate will do, but the figurative meaning is that the future is always unknown and there are many factors that can influence it.


And one thing I have learned in writing "Big Game" is that the NFL is a big club. We think we know everything; there's all this insider access that the NFL sells. But Colin Kaepernick, Donald Trump - these are outsiders who sort of stormed the club in their own ways. And they try to reveal things. And Colin Kaepernick, by way of this lawsuit, is going to put some very, very uncomfortable people in open court, potentially, in ways that could really expose a lot and sort of open a lot more Pandora's boxes.

Moving on in your book, I infer that Donald Trump might never have become president if the NFL owners had let him buy a football team.

That is the great thought experiment here. Donald Trump - he's tried to get into the NFL for maybe about four decades. If Donald Trump had gotten the Buffalo Bills in 2014, and it's not clear that he was ever close - he was sort of laughed out of the room in some ways - the NFL might have a very different headache or non-headache from the White House. And Donald Trump could be torturing them from within.

Well, why didn't they like his bid for the Bills or any other team he's made over the years?

turn 1 : He would be fulfilling a government role and Trump makes it look like he does all of the work.

turn 1 : If the NFL owners had let Donald Trump buy a team, he might not have become president.

turn 1 :  Implied meaning: Is there space for Chris Christie to enter the presidential race and has he made a mistake by attending the Cowboys-Lions game?

turn 1 : The turn that has a different meaning from its literal meaning is (2) "President Trump overrode the decision of career officials to grant his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, a clearance".  The phrase "overrode the decision" does not mean that President Trump simply disagreed with the decision made by the career officials and made a different decision. It implies that he forced the clearance to be granted despite objections from those officials.

turn 1 :  This turn actually means that people should not expect to "love" Donald Trump as the Republican nominee, but should come together as a party to face the challenges that lie ahead.


turn 2 : He would be fulfilling a government role and Trump makes it look like he does all of the work.

turn 2 : If Trump owned an NFL team, he would use his position to cause trouble for the NFL

turn 2 : (3) - The actual meaning is that Donald Trump likely wanted Tom Price to resign as Secretary of Health and Human Services after facing criticism for his use of private jets. Trump campaigned against government corruption, so this situation is ironic.

turn 2 :  Implied meaning: Is there space for Chris Christie to enter the presidential race and has he made a mistake by attending the Cowboys-Lions game?


Ms.  C.  VIVIAN STRINGER (Basketball Coach, Rutgers University; Author, "Standing Tall"): I'm fine, Farai. How are you?

I'm doing great. Now in this book, you only really address the Imus controversy at the end because you have had so many different life experiences: coal-miner's daughter, integrated a cheerleading squad. What did you learn from your childhood?

You know, I learned that you have to stand up. You don't make excuses for the things that you don't have. You have to work hard. I try to have shortcuts, but you have to be willing to pay the price. And at the end of the day, you know, whatever happens, you must learn to define yourself and use your own measuring stick rather than that of others. And I thought that my parents were tremendous leaders and taught me how to stand up, and that's what I attempt to do with the young people that I'm working with now.

You really spend a lot of loving moments talking about your father, who sacrificed a lot for your family. He was a musician and took a job so that he could support you guys. What did you learn from him?

turn 2 : Having the right connections, personality and know-how is essential for success.

turn 2 : Being good at something is not enough for success.

turn 2 : Personal responsibility, hard work, and self-acceptance are essential for success.

turn 2 : As a leader and parent, it is important to help young people achieve their dreams and goals

turn 2 : Pursuing passion is important, but financial stability is also crucial.


The Census Bureau has been examining that very vigorously. What tends to be a common result is if you use data from retail, you tend to under enumerate those who aren't connected economically. That tends to be poorer people, transient people, children - precisely those that are hard to enumerate in general.

So the world of the future I think we all think is some complicated blend of these organic digital sources with traditional methods. You can't use one or the other. We need to use both. And some of the innovation proposed for the 2020 census actually involves trying to use those data wisely when we can.

Robert Groves - he oversaw the 2010 census and is currently the provost of Georgetown University. Thanks so much for being with us, sir.

It was wonderful talking to you, Scott.

turn 2 : The turn in (3) has an implied meaning of appreciation rather than a literal meaning of thanks.

turn 2 : This turn does not have an implied meaning different from its literal meaning. It is a straightforward expression of gratitude towards Laura Sydell, the NPR correspondent.

turn 2 : The actual meaning of the turn in (3) is to express gratitude and appreciation to Robert Groves for his time. The literal meaning of the turn is to thank Robert Groves for being present with them.

turn 2 : The literal meaning of (3) is a simple expression of agreement, while the implied meaning is that the speaker is amazed by the story of Steve Dalkowski's feats.

turn 2 : The turn in (2) is a figurative expression and its actual meaning is different from its literal meaning.


It was wonderful talking to you, Scott.

turn 2 :  (2) implies that Mr. Groves is joining the conversation for the purpose of providing his expertise on the topic.

turn 2 :  (3) is a polite way of thanking Robert Groves for joining the show

turn 2 :  The implied meaning of this turn is that the speaker is thanking the guest for appearing on the show and expressing appreciation for their insight

turn 2 :  The implied meaning of this turn is that the guest is expressing gratitude for being invited to the show


It's been wet in Texas this year, really wet, with record amounts of rain, and that means Texas right now is hot, wet and green. This is making the animal world happy, particularly insects. Take the tarantula hawk wasp for example. What - you've never heard of it?Well, it's so big and so nasty that it attacks tarantulas, who are, as you know, themselves big and nasty. Texas Parks and Wildlife invertebrate biologist Ben Hutchins joins me now from Austin to tell us about this wasp. Hi, Ben.

Hi.

OK, so I've been doing a little research and the tarantula hawk can wrestle and then throw these big, hairy Texas tarantulas onto their backs and then sting them into submission. How in the world is this possible?

Well, it's a pretty spectacular show. And, you know, we actually have several different species of tarantula hawk, and each one has its own different approach. So some will actually flip over onto their back and crawl upside down underneath of the tarantula to sting the tarantulas. Others will dart under there and grab the rear leg of the tarantula and then flip it over. And the tarantula hawk will actually use its back legs to pin down the tarantula's fangs to keep itself from getting bit. And then it delivers that sting, usually at a chink in the armor of the tarantula, so at joints in the legs or in the abdomen of the tarantula. And they can sting multiple times as well, so they'll get in there and make sure that that tarantula is paralyzed.

turn 3 : Implied meaning: The speaker thinks that there is a level of ambiguity or hidden message in the turn that may not be immediately apparent, but which can be inferred or interpreted through context or other clues.

turn 3 : Implied meaning: The speaker is suggesting that they are uncertain about the future outcome of a situation, and are not making any definitive statements or commitments. The tone and context of the statement could suggest that the speaker is being cautious, non-committal, or may be waiting for more information before making a decision.

turn 3 : Implied meaning: The speaker may be suggesting that there are some hidden or unknown factors that could influence the situation being discussed.

turn 3 : Implied meaning: The speaker is subtly trying to convey a sense of urgency or importance in the matter being discussed, without explicitly stating it.

turn 3 : Implied meaning: The speaker's selection of a seemingly insignificant turn may be interpreted as an attempt to change the subject or redirect the conversation, potentially indicating discomfort or disinterest in the current topic.


Four. Four. We have two children.

You're a fam of four. And you are in the hospital, all four of you?

turn 1 : B is confirming that A attended the same school from kindergarten until graduation.

turn 1 : A is not fully agreeing with B's statement

turn 1 : A has two children and B is confirming the family size, but also asking if they are all in the hospital together.

turn 1 : B was raised by his grandparents who were foster parents, not his biological parents.


Four. Four. We have two children.

Were in the hospital, yes.

turn 1 : (1) The speaker is not only suggesting using technology to alert providers when they may be entering orders for the wrong patient, but also emphasizing the importance of preventing medical errors in the healthcare system.

turn 1 : Asking if all family members are in the hospital

turn 1 : The alert is suggesting that the provider should double-check to make sure they are entering the orders for the correct patient.

turn 1 : The speaker is expressing sympathy for the victims and their families.

turn 2 :  (2) implies that B is wondering what the latest news or developments are in the situation,

turn 2 : B wants to know if A evacuated because it was mandatory or not.

turn 2 : The implied meaning is that A is inquiring about the details surrounding B's special person.


Yes, the mother of Norway. Yeah, that was - she was scheduled to be at this camp basically from breakfast through dinner. And there was a photographer, a newspaper photographer named Sara Johannessen who had been sent to document this, to hang out with Gro for the day. Breivik had planned to kidnap her. Expecting her to be there all day, he had planned to kidnap her and videotape himself beheading her. Now - he says this now. Whether or not that's true, it's - who can really say. But Gro was supposed to be there.

The only reason she wasn't is it was a terribly, terribly rainy day. The island was muddy and sloppy, and she decided to leave early. And Sara, who had been shooting some landscapes - I mean, it's beautiful, beautiful country there - Sara almost missed it. She didn't know that Gro was leaving. And she had to sprint down the hill to catch the ferry, which turned out to be the last ferry off the island that day. And then Sara got back. When she left Utoya, she drove back to Oslo and was parking her car when the bomb went off a block away.

And she immediately went to work from a light feature on the former prime minister to documenting one of the worst incidents in Norwegian history.

Exactly. I mean, she just sprinted right towards - she sprinted towards the blast and just - yeah.

turn 2 : "from a light feature on the former prime minister" - the literal meaning is a small, lighthearted article about a former prime minister. The actual meaning is a news feature on a tragic event.

turn 2 : None of the words or phrases in this turn have a figurative meaning. It is a straightforward statement about the print media in North Korea continuing to praise the leader, despite his absence, and how his father had also disappeared from public view at times.

turn 2 : (3) Implied Meaning: Is President Kabila using the current situation to remain in power?

turn 2 : thanking the NPR reporter, so it does not have a different actual meaning from its literal meaning.

turn 2 : Turn (3) describes the discovery of clues that led to the unraveling of the scandal, which is consistent with its literal meaning.


turn 3 : Take a shot means have a try in this context, not actually shoot someone

turn 3 : In this turn, the speaker is using sarcasm and irony. The literal meaning suggests that the person being discussed sent impressive pictures of jet engines in a basement, which are flaming out. However, the actual meaning implies that the person's actions or pictures were not impressive or desirable.

turn 3 :  "she just sprinted right towards the blast" - the literal meaning is to run quickly towards an explosion. The actual meaning is that the photographer immediately went to work covering the aftermath of the explosion.

turn 3 : (4) implies disbelief or shock at A's response in the previous turn.

turn 3 : A describes his fear and relief during a shooting incident


. . . He maintained a hold too long. That hold became deadly force. . .

Right.

. . . That his commissioner decided was not necessary at the point that it was being used.

However, there was a long review of not just the commissioner. . .

turn 3 : The federal government has investigated alternatives to lethal force and improving police-community relations for decades, but these techniques have not gained enough traction.

turn 3 : A case of police brutality is being investigated and all involved are subject to that investigation

turn 3 : Turn (4) is implying that even though research has been conducted in this area, law enforcement has not been paying attention to it and is only now beginning to do so.

turn 3 : The implementation of a residential law for policemen and an independent civilian complaint review board would decrease police brutality.

turn 3 : The complaint was about someone that exposed something being done illegally by another person or group.


I think myself and Terrell Tilford and Addis Art Gallery, we started to create a wonderful sort of section and really watched the neighborhood change. You know, you change from the car repair shops and you get little cafes and so on. And, unfortunately, what happens with most artists is that you make a place more beautiful, and everybody puts the rent up.

So, off to the eastern outpost of Atwater Village, which had one gallery when I got there two years ago, which now has - it's about to open its seventh gallery. So, I think I've got a track record of bringing good stuff with me.

Tell us about the kind of artists you represent?

Well, one of the things - just before I do that, I think it also sort of represents your neighborhood as well because the clientele that comes in the door is considerably different. And so, I have now Armenians and Asians and Africans, and it's exactly how I pictured it in my mind. And it's coming true there.

The artists that I show are basically artists of the African Diaspora, number one. The fact that I am an Angelino, and I live in Los Angeles, I show Angelino artists, as well. If you happen to be an immigrant who lives in Los Angeles, and you're a fantastic artist, I am very happy to see your work as well.

turn 3 : The speaker identifies with various forms of art and culture, and has a deep appreciation for life and love.

turn 3 : This is implying that A believes art should have an interesting or captivating element to it.

turn 3 : The narrator can visualized the art like how all artists done.

turn 3 : His work is odd and seen as very different from what people normally do and/or expect.


The Rough Riders were a unique volunteer regiment that was formed in the first days of the Spanish-American War. At the time, the U. S.  military was really small, and they needed to bulk up really quickly. So the U. S.  Army went out and recruited cowboys, athletes, people who you could train pretty quickly. And a lot of it was the brainchild of Theodore Roosevelt.

It was his particular idea of who was manly enough to be in a regiment with him. Is that fair to say?

Well, it was - he - yes, he did a lot of the vetting himself. And it certainly was a lot of, yes, his conception of what it meant to be manly. And so you not only had a lot of people from the West but also a lot of Ivy League football players. The No. 1 and the No. 2 tennis player in the country quit tennis to join, and that was the kind of thing that he loved.

Were these celebrities in some cases?

Yeah, they were. They were celebrities in the sense that they were the children of the tycoons and the kind of lords of the Gilded Age, the sort of people who grew up in Newport and Fifth Avenue and had names that resonated for a public that, you know, much like today, they know who has the money, who has the power.

turn 1 : The story involving Theodore Roosevelt may reveal America's aggressive nature.

turn 1 : Theodore Roosevelt had specific ideas about what made a man manly

turn 1 : The president was satisfied with how he was perceived.

turn 1 : My father was trying to instill a sense of superiority and strength in me by contrasting the strong and the weak.

turn 4 : The celebrities who joined the Rough Riders were from wealthy families

turn 4 : The family was taking a chance by investing in a potential financial opportunity without having any guarantee of success.

turn 4 : Children of wealthy tycoons and lords of Gilded Age


So do you think this would leave us in a better or worse position after these talks?I mean, it's a question whether or not this will actually go anywhere.

Well, it's - I mean, there's always a possibility that you would have the division laid out and follow-up meetings that strengthen that effort, and it goes somewhere productive. And that's what we all hope for. We'd like to see a denuclearized Korean peninsula. But I suspect it will be more of a pronouncement in which the two countries express interest in that direction. And then the details will get bogged down.

Senator Jeff Merkley of Oregon, thank you so much for speaking with us.

You're very welcome. Take care now.

turn 0 : The conversation was private and sealed, so it's unclear what was discussed.

turn 0 : The agreement will cause things to come to a halt with no further changes.

turn 0 : The talks don't move, but the result of the talks could cause something to happen.

turn 0 : The situation is uncertain and they need to take it one step at a time

turn 0 : on that note means speaking of which, or they are moving the discussion forward with a topic that was mentioned.


You're very welcome. Take care now.

turn 1 :  Implies disbelief in the official explanation for the meeting and wanting a better answer.

turn 1 : The talks don't move, but they would cause people to have more talks that could cause events to happen.

turn 1 : can be interpreted as a way to inquire about the current situation in the city, not just the events taking place.

turn 1 : The talks had gotten worse as they were returning to what they had spoken of before. Offers were made and rejected. The table is just a metaphor for the two sides talking to one another.

turn 1 : It doesn't actually speak, but it it does mean that nothing good comes from the information.


And he didn't live much longer did he?

No. He was - he went back to Vermont, discovered that he had cancer, and dying probably six or eight months after that. One of the things that is very difficult to convey to outsiders is the extent to which heartbreak played such a physical, tangible role in people's decline after the storm, and that certainly people had ailments that may have been bothering them even before the storm, but it seemed that the psychological and emotional toll of the failure of the levees really was that much more exacerbated. You find people who may have had blood pressure problems all their lives suddenly dying of stokes, and we in New Orleans believe firmly that that was because of the pressures brought about as a result of the hurricane and the failure of the levees.

Is that why some people refer to this documentary as a requiem?

Indeed. I mean, we like to refer to it more as a love poem for the city because much of what we really focus on is not the storm at all. A lot of it is to tell you about how important this neighborhood was, to give you some sense of what it feels like to be in the middle of a street parade in the Faubourg Treme. Give you a sense of what our musicians are dealing with and talking about. Give you some sense of what people are writing about. We hesitate to call this a Katrina film. It really is a love poem to New Orleans.

turn 1 : The actual meaning was differ from the original meaning that is the right answer

turn 1 : as it is the only turn with an implied meaning different from its literal meaning.

turn 1 : NOTHING IS NOT GOOD.SO IT WAS A VERY MEANING FULL


Up next, some improbable humor. If you're a loyal listener, you know my next guest. He's been a SCIENCE FRIDAY regular for, oh, 20 years. Wow. Every year on the Friday after Thanksgiving. You know that. We play the first annual Ig Nobel Awards. They awards given to science that makes you laugh and then makes you think. Marc Abrahams is the co-founder and the emcee of the Ig Nobels. He's also the editor and founder of the Annals of Improbable Research, and he writes a weekly column for The Guardian. Welcome, Marc.

Hello, Ira.

Hi there. Marc is going to join each month to share with us some of the unusual scientific research he comes across. And I think it's fitting for you to be here, Marc, as we're going to announce the winner of our joke show. I know you have a great sense of humor, at least that's what they tell me. No, I know that you do.

In theory, I'm honored to be here today.

turn 3 : Implied meaning: The speaker may be hinting at a desire or need for help or support from the listener.

turn 3 : Implied meaning: The speaker is subtly trying to convey a sense of urgency or importance in the matter being discussed, without explicitly stating it.

To be fair to President Trump, while tariffs, in my view, represent appalling economic policy, they are a reasonable political tactic in seizing the attention of a foreign government - in this case, China. And he succeeded on that. But in terms of the outcome that he produces, it'll be a classic case of the glass being either half-full or half-empty, depending on who looks at it.

Market access and a reduction in the U. S.  trade deficit with China over time - the glass will be more than half full. But on the others, the glass will get progressively empty. And I would be surprised, particularly on that question of state subsidy for China's high-technology industries, whether we'll see much substantive Chinese movement at all.

Do you think that Chinese leaders respect President Trump and his negotiating style?

I think the Chinese see in Trump two things. One is a preparedness to double down on these trade negotiations over a long period of time to extract maximum change in the Chinese position. So they see Trump as exercising American strength.

turn 2 : none
turn 2 : none
turn 2 : none
turn 2 : none
turn 2 : none


turn 3 : "But it will only be a brief hiatus in this long-term, contentious U.S.-China relationship" has a figurative meaning that is different from its literal meaning. The literal meaning of the turn is that a deal between the US and China would only be a temporary break in their long-term, contentious relationship. However, the figurative meaning is that even if a deal is reached, the underlying tensions and issues between the two countries will remain and could resurface in the future.

turn 3 : The outcome of President Trump's negotiations with China is likely to be uncertain, and it may be difficult to judge the success or failure of his policies.

turn 3 : China is trying to negotiate the best possible deal while doing as little as possible to please Trump.

turn 3 : There are some groups who see China as a threat, but not everyone agrees with this assessment.

turn 3 : US and China lack sufficient strategic thinking despite their concern to avoid conflict


Well, I needed to write about this in the same way I needed to write about the St.  Paul's School experience. It changed my life. It turned it upside down. There was so much love inside. It's like a Scotch egg, you know, with love under this crust of confusion and rage and mistakes. And my only way to understand that is to write it.

How'd you come up with ladysitting (ph)?I love it.

That was the word we used in our house for staying with Nana. My grandmother would sometimes say, I guess you have to get somebody to babysit me. We'd say, no, no, Nana. We're going to get somebody to ladysit you. And it was sort of the way we could acknowledge - like, you had to acknowledge her vulnerability but not in a way that was hurtful or made her feel even more vulnerable.

Well, it's an elegant solution to that. That's kind of what the book is about - is how. . .

turn 0 : The turn "your life changed" in (1) is an idiomatic expression that means a significant event or series of events that dramatically altered the course of one's life. Its actual meaning is different from its literal meaning, which would be that the person's life physically changed.

turn 0 : A life can not literally be turned upside down. The implied meaning is that the life is greatly disrupted.

turn 0 : to move in direction in this context means to change something

turn 0 : The actual meaning was differ from the original meaning that is the right answer


And I understand you are going to stay with us for at least a - the half hour to kind of help us understand the context of this, so we thank you for that. But let's just start with this week. I think a lot of people feel that this has been a particularly violent week. You've been tracking all known instances of gun violence in the United States since 2013, so what do you think?I mean, does this week stand out?

The last eight days really do. We've had four incidents of over 10 killed or injured, and that's unusual in an eight-day, 10-day period. We've had nine incidents over the last year and four of them in the last eight days.

And the archive home page keeps a list of statistics. And I do want to mention to people that this is available to the public. That's part of the purpose of your archives - so that the public can have sort of a shared set of facts here. It lists 253 total mass shootings in 2019 as of today. First of all, how do you define mass shooting?And secondly, how does this year compared to others so far?

Well, we define mass shootings as any incident where four or more victims are shot or killed. And we make that distinction because we believe that it's very important that we look at the injured as well as those killed. So anything that is four or more, that reaches that threshold - that's considered a mass shooting.

turn 1 : as it is the only turn with an implied meaning different from its literal meaning.

turn 1 : The actual meaning was differ from the original meaning that is the right answer

turn 1 : Implied meaning: The speaker may be using metaphors or analogies to convey a complex idea or emotion in a more relatable or understandable way.

turn 1 : AGREE WITH THE TURN AND IMPLIED MEANING AND BELIVE THAT EVERYONE

turn 1 : the turns whose actual meanings are different from their literal meanings. By saying "you're not one of these people that thinks I'm young and strong and nothing will happen"


And if these valleys are so remote, how did these civilizations develop in this unforgiving area?

Well, that's the thing. We're only now starting to realize that this so-called virgin or impenetrable jungle in prehistoric times was anything but. It was very heavily settled. There were many thousands of people living in these areas, and it wasn't virgin jungle. It was more like a tended garden. They cleared huge areas for farming. They terraced. They built irrigation canals. They built roads. They built enormous pyramids and structures.

And the idea that the rainforest of Central and South America - the soils were too poor to support major agriculture and large populations turns out to be a false idea. In fact, even in Amazonia, they're now realizing that these supposedly impenetrable jungles in Amazonia were, in fact, heavily settled by people in prehistoric times.

And they are remote today, but not too remote to be of interest to loggers.

turn 1 : The jungle wasn't as untouched as originally believed and was heavily populated in prehistoric times.

turn 1 : The jungle was transformed by early civilizations through farming, terracing, irrigation, and building.

turn 1 : The jungle was not virgin but was heavily settled.


Yeah?

But that was one that you know, through all the red tape, it actually made it to the record.

So, from an audience standpoint, Miles Davis, it was crazy to see him in the '80s. You know, back to the audience, head down, blow a couple of notes, walk off stage for half hour and come back. What was it like working with him during that time?

Well, during the '80s I think he was passed that. I think it was more like that in the '60s. In the '80s, he was very open. I mean, he was a good friend to me. I spent a lot of personal time with him, you know, at his house and just chatting, and he would paint, you know, and we would just hang out, man. I spent a lot of quality time with him, you know.

You also are into blues, obviously. "The Good Girl Blues" that was the last CD. . .

turn 1 :  (2) implies that people are facing a lot of bureaucracy and paperwork,

turn 1 : (4) B: The speaker implies that reducing bureaucracy is not as simple as just getting rid of paperwork, as bureaucracies are inherently reliant on established procedures and processes.

turn 1 : Red tape and excessive bureaucracy make it hard to start a business.

turn 1 : Discussing the difficulties to get something done despite bureaucracy

turn 1 : The issue being discussed involves human lives and families, making it emotionally charged and difficult to solve.


Well, yeah. He calls Obama a bad or sick guy. That is an extraordinary thing to hear from a sitting president about his predecessor. We should note there has been no reaction from President Obama yet and no evidence, no confirmation, to support this claim. But it's not going to calm the waters.

Boy, we have investigations that are unfolding at the FBI. There are several committees that are gathering at Capitol Hill. What's the landscape they're looking at right now?

So, as you said, the FBI is investigating. We don't have a lot of visibility into where they are in that investigation or what the time frame is because they don't comment on active investigations. We just know that they are - they're doing them. On the Hill, we have - we know a little bit more. The Intelligence Committees have the lead on investigating all of the Russia stuff. We know they are reviewing documents. They're trying to think about who to call to come testify. And they confirmed this week - the House Intelligence Committee, for example, confirmed they are looking into links between Russia and the campaigns; also looking into all these recent leaks of classified information.

turn 3 :  "I must say, it doesn't seem like the last scalp has been put on the wall." - This turn of phrase implies that the investigation is not yet complete and that there is still more to be done.

turn 3 : The speaker is implying that new information has been revealed regarding the missing brains.

turn 3 : "we'll have to leave it there" implies that the tv show is over.

turn 3 : The actual meaning of (3) is that many people wrongly assume that suspects will remain silent when questioned, when in fact they rarely do.

turn 3 : This statement implies that President Trump is skeptical of the CIA's findings and is seeking irrefutable evidence before taking action.


turn 3 : "last scalp" is being used as a metaphor for a definitive conclusion or resolution to a situation or investigation.

turn 3 : The whiplash means that a person turns their head around quickly as the other person change's their opinions.

turn 3 :  implies that you should be mindful of the information you hear and stay informed.

turn 3 : not a physical head, like a head from a body, but the  person in charge of something, the leader of something


He ended up in a small town in Alabama where he did have an encounter with a local police officer. At that point, he told police he had had a canoeing accident. They led him to a local motel. He checked in, paid cash. The police came back later to try to locate him. And by that time, he'd wandered off into the woods.

Why might Mr.  Schrenker want people to believe he was dead?

Well, it turns out he faces just a host of financial problems, also some personal problems, I might add. The Indiana Securities Division, the Indiana Insurance Commissioner are both looking into very serious allegations of misappropriated money from his financial company.

And do you think, even given these problems, he might have had enough assets to help him flee the country?

turn 0 : The pilot could have intentionally crashed the plane.

turn 0 : This made the person have to stay where they were at.

turn 0 : He did not have a canoeing accident, he was running away from something.

turn 0 : drove out in this context means to scare someone away

turn 0 : There is a dangerous situation happening that requires people to seek shelter and take precautions.


turn 2 : Schrenker's distress call was fabricated and he left the plane intentionally

turn 2 : The Coast Guard will charge Mr. Schrenker for making a false distress call, and he will have to pay for the cost of the search.

turn 2 : Despite legal and PR efforts, it is difficult for experts to make sense of the situation

turn 2 : Mr. Schrenker is in serious trouble and may be trying to escape legal consequences.

turn 2 : There were some personal problems, and he is trying to understand the reason behind them without being too direct.


That is true. Although, I wouldn't call myself a dolphin trainer or any of that. I did start working with dolphins as a high school job, going into college, back in the 1970s.

And what did you do?

I started out there as a diver. I, you know, fancied myself a junior Jacques Cousteau. But in real terms, my job was to scrub tanks for the most part.

Are we looking at a new time in, what I'll call the display world, the museum world, the animal world, in which, I think, institutions that try and have animals available for people to get to know them are rethinking the whole terms of captivity?

turn 1 : The speaker is suggesting that, similar to the evolution of laws and attitudes towards domestic violence, there needs to be a similar shift in the understanding and treatment of animal abuse. This implies that the speaker believes that animal abuse should be taken seriously and treated as a potential indicator of violent behavior, and that there needs to be a comprehensive effort involving legislators, law enforcement, prosecutors, and judges to address this issue.

turn 1 : The speaker is hinting that animal captivity may be in need of reform.

turn 1 : The speaker is using Scottish slang to describe animals.

turn 1 : The speaker is implying that some law enforcement professionals may be resistant to gathering and analyzing data on animal abuse because they view it as an added bureaucratic burden. This suggests that the speaker believes that some law enforcement officials may be unwilling to take the issue of animal abuse seriously or prioritize it as a potential indicator of violent behavior.


We should note that Chico was never a part of DeBarge proper. Chico was solo. This is his hit 'Talk To Me' from 1986.

(Singing)

Talk to me baby, talk to me girl. You know, I really think you oughta

In 1988, Chico and his older brother Bobby were convicted on charges of conspiracy to distribute cocaine. The conviction put a quick end to a promising career. Each of the brothers served years in prison. Bobby later died from complications of AIDS. Like his sister, Chico was willing to open up about some of the pain of the road they've traveled. But he is also gearing up to release a new album. I ask how he felt about this next stage of his career.

I'm excited, but I'm - it was kind of new for me with the mission I have before me. Because of course, as you know, all of us are talking about, you know, a lot of things we've been through that a lot of people didn't know in the family. And the name of my album is "Addiction. "Because I ended up wearing those shoes. I never thought in my life that I would be - you know, I'd actually knocked people, you know, for having that. And I got stabbed, you know.

turn 4 : There is an idea that women must suffer through the pain of wearing high heeled shoes to be professional.

turn 4 : She wore her high heels no matter what the pain she endured from them.

turn 4 : "fill his shoes" implies that the speaker wants to follow in Jack's footsteps and continue his work, but not that they literally want to wear his shoes.

turn 4 : Wear those shoes is implying that the person has dealt with that in life


That's something that has come up quite a bit.

Agreement's vacated if he. . .

Precisely, yeah.

Yeah. As someone with your experience, knowing lawyers on both sides, I gather - has the prosecution laid out a convincing case in the couple of weeks it's had?

turn 1 : This is an expression of agreement, but it also implies that the speaker is willing to continue the discussion.

turn 1 : B wants A to explain what makes the agreement better

turn 1 : The agreement will cause things to come to a halt with no further changes.

turn 1 : It is being implied that it will be difficult to proceed to court.

turn 1 : The agreement is no longer valid if he... (implied condition)


And they would need 60 votes to do that bill, which means they would need at least eight Democrats and probably more to come on board to essentially re-pass some form of health care legislation to offer insurance to people on the individual market. I think realistic people in this debate on both sides of the equation say that is the most unrealistic option at this stage.

Do you hear any concern from Republican leaders or individual Republican legislators about the public opinion polls that suggest that the Republican health care proposals are extravagantly unpopular, less than 20 percent?

They are fully aware of how unpopular this legislation is. But I will tell you, Scott, every single conversation I have had with a Republican lawmaker on Capitol Hill is they say not doing anything on health care - letting this bill fail - is the worst possible political outcome because it is the singular thing that they have all campaigned on. It is the reason why they believe they have congressional majorities in the White House. And to fail on that would completely deflate the Republican base and structurally weaken the party going into the midterm elections.

But Mitch McConnell at the same time can't pull some Democrats over with a plan.

turn 1 : Is there any worry among Republican leaders and legislators about the low approval ratings of the Republican health care proposals?

turn 1 : (2) Implied meaning: Is there any incentive for Democrats to cooperate with Republicans on health care reform now that they have been successful in preserving the original?

turn 1 : The Affordable Care Act is being challenged by Republicans.

turn 1 : Everyone is aware that the issue of high prescription drug costs needs to be addressed, but there are opposing views on how to do so.

turn 1 : Republican politicians are trying to both protect and remove pre-existing condition protections


turn 2 : Republican lawmakers recognize that not taking action on health care would have negative political consequences.

turn 2 : (2) Implied meaning: Is there any incentive for Democrats to cooperate with Republicans on health care reform now that they have been successful in preserving the original?

turn 2 : The rule would allow healthcare workers to refuse certain services based on moral beliefs

turn 2 : Congressional Republicans won't pass the bill unless the President makes sure they will not be hurt politically.


turn 3 :  (4) - This turn implies that A will support McConnell if he succeeds in passing the tax plan, and that the Republicans still have a chance to win.

turn 3 : The implication is that the Republicans may have to use strong tactics to pass their agenda, even if it means having to pressure members of their own party.

turn 3 : Is it possible for Mitch McConnell to get support from Democrats for a plan?

turn 3 : People are uncertain about their vote in this election, and are hesitant to support either the Republican or Democratic candidate.

turn 3 : Talking about contempt might not be a wise strategy for Democrats.


And what has it gotten back?

There was a record 455 films and television productions that were shot in Georgia in the last fiscal year. And they represented a $2. 7, you know, billion in direct spending, which they estimate brings in $9. 5 billion in total economic impact. So these numbers are really huge. And they have been a huge destination for feature films, and not just any sort of feature films, expensive blockbusters, the biggest of those being Marvel's "Avengers" movies, which shot at Pinewood Studios in Atlanta, which is a big production facility.

As we mentioned, studios and media companies have sent some warning signals. How likely, though, is an actual boycott?

These laws have sort of been spreading. And production people here in Hollywood are sort of taking a wait-and-see approach. And this abortion ban isn't supposed to take effect until January of 2020. So we have this sort of in-between time where a lot of studios and producers and executives are trying to figure out what the best course of action is, and do they keep projects there in the meantime?Should it be overturned before it's enacted, then Hollywood doesn't really have to worry about pulling out their productions.

turn 1 : Georgia's film industry has had a massive economic impact.

turn 1 : Georgia has become a popular destination for big budget movies and TV shows.

turn 1 : The tax incentives have made Georgia a popular location for filming.

turn 1 : Atlanta has contributed significantly to the music industry.
