ABSTRACTThe Central Institute of Indian Languages, Mysore, India organized a symposium/dialogue on English in India and Indian English held during January 4–6, 2007 at the The Central Institute of Indian Languages (CIIL), Mysore, India. It was devoted to a discussion of the issues addressed in the keynote paper by Rajendra Singh, which some 23 scholars from throughout the world had been invited to respond to. Although a few of the invited scholars were not able to attend, they were kind enough to send their papers and we had a very productive and lively discussion in which the academic staff of CIIL and local journalists, students, and educationists also participated. This report is organized as follows: in section 1, we summarize the keynote address and all the full-length responses to it; in section 2, we summarize the brief comments and observations that were presented or tabled by the invited respondents; in section 3, we offer concluding remarks and a brief summary of Singh's responses to the interventions summarized in sections 1 and 2.

Jean-Pierre Ronfard's Vie et mort du Roi Boiteux, an impressive six-play cycle telling the story of King Richard ‘Premier’ (i.e. ‘The First’, but Premier is meant here as a family name, as would be Jones or Smith), was created in 1981 and has been seen ever since as a landmark in the recent evolution of Québécois drama. It starts out as games played by children in a back lane and focuses on a limping boy who will be king. The limping king whose story is told as a ‘play-within-a-play’ refers to Oedipus's club foot as well as to Shakespeare's deformed Richard III. The story is heavily parodic, set simultaneously in all parts of the world and at all times, so that Marilyn Monroe and Queen Nefertiti can meet, as well as Brecht and Aristotle. Each play has been staged separately, but the full cycle was occasionally done in succession, a spectacular event lasting fifteen hours. The subject of this article is the very first full-length production, done partly outdoors, on 24 June 1982, in Montreal.

Books of travel and books inspired by travel have probably been more popular in Great Britain than any other literary form, with the exception of novels.This was especially true in the nineteenth century, when travel, owing to the lack of today's facilities, was reserved for the relative few. During that period, photography had not yet replaced the written word, as is happening in our own generation. The nineteenth-century Englishman wandered through the medium of a travel book and not through newsreels, travelogues, and even full-length movies. Today, the Englishman, like the American, is able to sit in his living room and see the world on his television screen. He is not dependent on literature to the extent that his grandfather or great-grandfather was. For the Englishman of the nineteenth century, therefore, travel literature was very important. Often, these books furnished the only source of information concerning strange lands and strange peoples.

AbstractOne aspect of the principle of "measure for measure" is considered—the idea that the offending organ is punished. This concept can be found in all the biblical genres: narrative, law, the prophetic literature, poetry, and the wisdom literature. The organs that are punished run almost the full length of the body, from head to toe. Sometimes the concept is invoked literally, sometimes only metaphorically. In most cases the punishment is heaven-sent; but there are no few incidents where human action is involved and even animals (twice). In every case, the principle serves a theological function, in that it corroborates the existence of reward and punishment in the world.

Abstract Background: The olecranon honey peach belongs to the peach class. In terms of the fruit type, the Olecranon honey peach, shaped like an eagle’s beak, is larger than others. In this study, Full-length transcriptome sequencing of the Olecranon honey peach and the bud mutant variant of the peach was performed by Oxford Nanopore Technologies to comparatively analyze the differentially expressed genes and the transcriptome, to identify important fruit shape-related genes.Results:Full-length transcriptome sequencing was performed to analyze the two peaches. Consensus isoform was obtained and compared to the reference genome for a de-redundancy analysis. As a result, a final set of 58,596 transcript sequences was obtained. A total of 21,745 simple sequence repeats were obtained, and 18,322 alternative splicing (AS) events were identified. The comparative analysis of the non-redundant transcript revealed 2530 new gene loci and 37,364 novel transcripts. A total of 457 genes were differentially expressed in the two groups, including 169 up-regulated genes and 288 down-regulated genes. A total of 1519 transcripts were differentially expressed, of which 552 were up-regulated and 997 were down-regulated. Conclusions: In the case of the plant hormone signal transduction pathway, identified by the KEGG annotation, our analyses revealed that differential expression of genes 9229, 26004, 22504, 2822, 2826, 2824, ONT.1953, ONT.1950, and ONT.1953 was related to the shape of the peach and may regulate the production of large fruits, via endogenous hormones, secondary metabolites, and signal transduction. This study provided useful information on the shape-related genes and transcripts in the Olecranon honey peach.
