MITS company owner Ed Roberts begins building a small computer based on Intel's new 8080 chip, with plans to sell it for the unheardof price of US$500. MITS completes the first prototype Altair 8800 microcomputer. Bravo is developed for the Xerox Alto computer. It is the first WYSIWYG program for a personal computer. 1975 Bill Gates and Paul Allen found MicroSoft (the hyphen is later dropped). MOS Technology announces the MC6501 at US$20 and the MC6502 at US$25. At this point, the Intel 8080 costs about US$150. Bill Gates and Paul Allen sign a licensing agreement with MITS, for their implementation of the BASIC language. Bill Gates and Paul Allen ship 4K and 8K version of BASIC v2.0. Dick Heiser opens Arrow Head Computer Company, subtitled "The Computer Store", in Los Angeles, selling assembled Altairs, boards, peripherals, and magazines. This
The Lord of the Rings SHORT SUMMARY Bilbo Baggins throws a party for himself and his protégé, Frodo. At the party, Bilbo announces that he is leaving his home to his heir, Frodo. He returns home and is met by his close friend, the wizard Gandalf. Gandalf insists that Bilbo remove the Ring that he has owned since the events of the previous adventure, chronicled in The Hobbit, and give the ring to his young heir. The Ring has special powers, the most obvious of which is to make the wearer invisible. Then Bilbo disappears. For many years Frodo lives in Bilbo's home at Bag End. Just like Bilbo, Frodo appears

Desdemona and how he will turn those against them. When Othello finally arrives, everyone retreats inside, leaving Iago once again alone with Roderigo. Warning Roderigo that Desdemona has fallen for Cassio, Iago convinces him to fight Cassio in order to have Cassio removed from Othello’s forces. With yet another soliloquy, Iago restates his hatred of Othello and his plans to drive him mad. Scene 2 As a short interlude, a herald announces that there will be a celebration, a night of festivities to celebrate the arrival of Othello and his recent marriage as well as the destruction of the Turkish forces. Scene 3 Cassio and Iago are given orders to keep the peace among the soldiers and that they should drink in moderation. Othello and Desdemona finally retire for their first night together as a married couple and Iago puts his plans into motion.

Jake returns home, and Brett and Count Mippipopolous show up. Jake asks why she missed their appointment but does not believe her when she says she forgot it out of drunkenness. Brett offers to send the count away. Jake tells her not to, but she sends him for champagne. Jake asks why they cannot live together, and she tells him that she would only make him unhappy by cheating on him. She announces that she is leaving Paris for San Sebastian, in Spain, because it will be better for both of them. The count returns with the champagne, and he begins to describe his philosophy of life. He has been in seven wars and four revolutions. Because he has lived so much, he says, he is able to enjoy everything fully. He thinks the secret to living is to get to know the right values. He is always in love because his values include love

Summary The Second Company is assigned to lay barbed wire at the front, an extremely dangerous task. As the men's trucks rumble toward the front, they pass a house, and Paul hears the cackle of geese. He and Kat agree to come back later, take the geese, and feast on them. The sound of gunfire and shells fills the air, gripping the new recruits with fear. Kat explains to the recruits how to distinguish which guns are firing by listening to the blasts. He announces that he senses there will be a bombardment later in the night: the English batteries have begun firing an hour earlier than usual. Paul reflects that the roar of guns and whistling of shells sharpens men's senses. Paul ruminates that, for the soldier, the earth takes on a new significance at the front: he buries his body in it for shelter, and it receives him every time he throws himself down in a fold, furrow, or hollow. At the front, a man's ancient animal instincts awaken. They are a

3 It is picturesque and Põldmäe is in his beloved “element”, the score being rich in colours. The music is well suited to the fantastic plot. The timeless action takes place on a nameless island. The ruler Kaspar is an unrestrained despot celebrating his upcoming wedding. The islanders go to the seashore to fish with a seine in order to pay homage to the bride. They are astonished to find a Mermaid in their nets trying in vain to escape back to sea. Kaspar announces that he will spend his wedding night with the Mermaid after the feast. This does not happen because the Mermaid has fled. An example of the use of colour from the beginning of the ballet suite; it is a sound canvas, the flow of time, a lonely island and stillness: 1 First performance by ERSO, 21 June 1970, conducted by Roman Matsov. 2 Taken from the short fantasy story by Friedebert Tuglas. 3 The Suite was performed for the first time in an ERSO studio broadcast on 23 Sept
He says that although the shocks can be extremely painful, they will cause you "no permanent tissue damage." With that, the researcher and Teacher leave you alone and go to the next room where the Teacher asks you the test questions through an intercom system and delivers elec- tric punishment for every wrong response. As the test proceeds, you quickly recognize the pattern that the Teacher fol- lows: He asks the question and waits for your answer over the intercom. Whenever you err, he announces the voltage of the shock you are about to receive and pulls a lever to deliver the punishment. The most troubling thing is that, with each error you make, the shock increases by 15 volts. The first part of the test progresses smoothly. The shocks are annoying but tol- erable. Later on, though, as you make more mistakes and the shock voltages climb, the punishment begins to hurt enough to disrupt your concentration, which leads to more errors and ever more disruptive shocks
"Everybody Comes to Rick's," says the title of the play on which Casablanca is based. 139 T H E W R I T E R ' S JOURNEY ~ T H I R D EDITION Christopher Vogler Bars also play host to a number of other activities including music, flirting, and gambling. T h i s stage in a story, whether it takes place in a bar or not, is a good place for a musical sequence that announces the mood of the Special World. A nightclub act may allow the introduction of a romantic interest, as in Jessica Rabbit's sensational torch song in Who Framed Roger Rabbit) M u s i c can express the dualities of the Special W o r l d as well. At this stage in Casablanca the polarities are movingly presented in a musical duel between the passionate "Marsellaise" sung by the French patriots and the brutal "Deutschland uber Allés" sung by the Nazis.
