All efforts proved in vain. Many of the most energetic in the search were relaxing their exertions, and yielding to a gloomy sorrow. There seemed but little hope for the child; (how much less than for the mother!) but now, from the interior of that dark niche which has been already mentioned as forming a part of the Old Republican prison, and as fronting the lattice of the Marchesa, a figure muffled in a cloak, stepped out within reach of the light, and, pausing a moment upon the verge of the giddy descent, plunged headlong into the canal. As, in an instant afterwards, he stood with the still living and breathing child within his grasp, upon the marble flagstones by the side of the Marchesa, his cloak, heavy with the drenching water, became unfastened, and, falling in folds about his feet, discovered to the wonder-stricken spectators the graceful person of a very young man, with the sound of whose name the greater part of Europe was then ringing.
One one level, the titular Cult Of Smart is just the belief that enough education can solve any problem. But more fundamentally it's also the troubling belief that after we jettison unfair theories of superiority based on skin color, sex, and whatever else, we're finally left with what really determines your value as a human being - how smart you are. DeBoer recalls hearing an immigrant mother proudly describe her older kid's achievements in math, science, etc, "and then her younger son ran by, and she said, offhand, 'This one, he is maybe not so smart.'" DeBoer was originally shocked to hear someone describe her own son that way, then realized that he wouldn't have thought twice if she'd dismissed him as unathletic, or bad at music. Intelligence is considered such a basic measure of human worth that to dismiss someone as unintelligent seems like consigning them into the outer darkness. So DeBoer describes how early readers of his book were scandalized by the insistence on genetic differences in intelligence - isn't this denying the equality of Man, declaring some people inherently superior to others? Only if you conflate intelligence with worth, which DeBoer argues our society does constantly. It starts with parents buying Baby Einstein tapes and trying to send their kids to the best preschool, continues through the "meat grinder" of the college admissions process when everyone knows that whoever gets into Harvard is better than whoever gets into State U, and continues when the meritocracy rewards the straight-A Harvard student with a high-paying powerful job and the high school dropout with drudgery or unemployment. Even the phrase "high school dropout" has an aura of personal failure about it, in a way totally absent from "kid who always lost at Little League".

FQM and 2HD indicated they will keep releasing XviD.[37] FQM said it's pointless losing a lot of standalone compatibility for slightly higher quality when there's already even better quality available. 2HD agrees and a vocal minority of the torrent community is quite upset because the MP4 container isn't compatible with many DVD players and other devices, but most scene groups don't really care about BitTorrent.[38][39][40] Softpedia writer Lucian Parfeni called this interesting phenomenon the angry pirate and wrote that a lot of BitTorrent users are very disappointed about the move, though quite a few have no idea why it happened.[39][41][42] A second reason FQM provided was that partial files can't be played back but LOL wrote the next day that the streaming issues were solved. On March 29, an updated version of the rules were released. This time 22 groups supported the document. MP4Box became the recommended muxer because it has support for file streaming and playing from RARs. For encoding audio, FFmpeg and FAAC encoders are banned.[ruleset 20] 2HD announced on April 15, 2012, that they would be abandoning XviD as show seasons end, but later this changed to only the seasons of the bigger shows.[43] A month after 2HD's first announcement FQM released their first x264 rip.
On August 13, 2009, the first version of the standard was released. This standard is only a recommendation for anime from Blu-ray and its purpose is to improve quality over the then current HDX standard. The document reads that anime was always something special for the video codec experts at Doom9, as without anime there wouldn't be VirtualDub or many other video-related tools.[53] This is why they decided to put out new standard to enjoy almost lossless anime quality.[ruleset 25]The French scene had rules for anime releases years earlier.[ruleset 26] The latest French ruleset for anime is from 2011.[ruleset 27][54]
In April 2014, BATV announced they are dropping the INTERNAL tag: one group doesn't get to decide how we all release 1080p TV.[59] A day later, BATV released the first 1080p HDTV x265 encode using that same episode for comparison.[60] BATV thinks that 1080p is completely and utterly pointless unless done by a decent group.[61] DIMENSION indicated they won't be using certain channels for 1080p captures due to insufficient quality.[62]
An early scene release came in 2004 when the group ARA released Metallica's fifth performance in Gothenburg as FLAC files.[76][77] These lossless files can be bought on LiveMetallica.com, a service that allows fans to buy and download files of soundboard recordings.[78] From 2007 on some early FLAC releases came from justice, a group that already used APE for lossless music the years before.[79][80] That same year the Polish group BFPMP3 thought to start promoting the FLAC standard with some internal releases.[81] Single purpose groups such as judge, FLACH or CDDA created only a handful of releases in the years before the first ruleset.
On May 3, 2013, the group VENOM released the first game for the Wii U: Marvel Avengers: Battle for Earth. The disk image is a .iso file in Wii U Optical Disc format (WUOD), Nintendo's proprietary disc format for the Wii U. Like other console scene firsts, the game isn't playable on the console yet.[149] This first scene release was a few days after the Wii U was announced to be allegedly hacked by the mod chip developer WiiKey.[150] Based on the file date of the RAR archives, VENOM had already created the ISO file more than a month before pre. This is the point in time when they first made the files available within the scene through their affiliated sites.[13]Later, Venom's Release was found to be a bad dump, so the real first Wii U game dumped was by PoWeRUp, which has been confirmed as PROPER.
The first game release for the PlayStation Vita in the scene, Uncharted: Golden Abyss, was done by the group PSiCO on February 8, 2016.[170] This was almost 4 years after the introduction of the PS Vita in Europe and North America. It was dumped from a PS Vita NVG game cartridge and the PFS encryption layer was removed since this data is not needed to become playable in the future.[171] Releases are tagged with PSV in the directory name. There were already a handful of other PSV tagged releases before, but these contained covers.
"Hey! Give me the cash, and I'll give you the goods!" A manclad entirely in black stood before him, his eyes like daggers,making Old Chuan shrink to half his normal size. This man thrustone huge extended hand towards him, while in the other he held aroll of steamed bread, from which crimson drops were dripping tothe ground.
They went together into the kitchen, and conferred for a time.Then the old woman went out, to return shortly with a dried lotusleaf which she spread on the table. Old Chuan unwrapped thecrimson-stained roll from the lantern paper and transferred it tothe lotus leaf. Little Chuan had finished his meal, but his motherexclaimed hastily:
Fourth Shan's Wife took the paper, and walked out thinking asshe went. She might he a simple woman, but she knew Dr. Ho's house,Salvation Shop and her own home formed a triangle; so of course itwould he simpler to buy the medicine first before going back. Shehurried as fast as she could to Salvation Shop. The assistantraised his long finger-nails too as he slowly read theprescription, then slowly wrapped up the medicine. With Pao-erh inher arms, Fourth Shan's Wife waited. Suddenly Pao-erh stretched upa little hand and tugged at his loose tuft of hair. He had neverdone this before, and his mother was terrified. 2ff7e9595c
