Cops (film)

Cops is a 1922 comedy short silent film about a young man (Buster Keaton) who accidentally gets on the bad side of the entire Los Angeles Police Department during a parade, and is chased all over town. It was written and directed by Edward F. Cline and Keaton.

Background and plot

This very Kafka-esque film was filmed during the rape-and-murder trial of Fatty Arbuckle, a circumstance that may have influenced the short's tone of hopeless ensnarement. Even though the central character's intentions are good, he cannot win, no matter how inventively he tries. He gets into various scraps with police officers throughout the film. Eventually, he unwittingly throws a bomb into a police parade and ends up being chased by a horde of cops.

At the end of the film, Keaton's character locks up the cops in the police station. However, the girl he is trying to woo disapproves of his behavior and gives him the cold shoulder. Therefore, he unlocks the police station and is immediately pulled in by the cops. The film ends with the title "The End" written on a tombstone with Keaton's pork pie hat propped on it.

College of Public Speaking

The College of Public Speaking (CoPS) is a public speaking and communications training company based in the United Kingdom. Founded in 2006, its training programmes range from short workshops through tailor-made programmes for individuals and accredited short courses.

The significance of the term College in the title is taken from the root definition of 'a group of people living together under a common set of rules ('con' with; 'lego' law), which captures the idea of educational diversity and lifelong learning.

As well as commercial and private sector work, the College of Public Speaking aims to highlight and raise awareness of public speaking as an essential social skill by hosting public events, such as the annual Corporate Challenge, aimed at finding the UK's best corporate speaker, as well as hosting the Speaking Olympiad, a team speaking event aimed at encouraging and showcasing speaking talent, by giving a platform for teams from the largest and most established UK speaking organisations, including the Association of Speakers Clubs, Toastmasters International and the Society of Cogers to compete across a range of speaking disciplines.

Lie

A lie is a statement that is known or intended by its source to be misleading, inaccurate, or false. The practice of communicating lies is called lying, and a person who communicates a lie may be termed a liar. Lies may be employed to serve a variety of instrumental, interpersonal, or psychological functions for the individuals who use them. Generally, the term "lie" carries a negative connotation, and depending on the context a person who communicates a lie may be subject to social, legal, religious, or criminal sanctions. In certain situations, however, lying is permitted, expected, or even encouraged. Because believing and acting on false information can have serious consequences, scientists and others have attempted to develop reliable methods for distinguishing lies from true statements.

Types

Bad faith

As defined by Sartre, "bad faith" is lying to oneself. Specifically, it is failing to acknowledge one's own ability to act and determine one's possibilities, falling back on the determinations of the various historical and current totalizations which have produced one as if they relieved one of one's freedom to do so.

Élie

Élie is the French equivalent of "Elias" or "Elijah."

French masculine given name

Presentation (obstetrics)

In obstetrics, the presentation of a fetus about to be born refers to which anatomical part of the fetus is leading, that is, is closest to the pelvic inlet of the birth canal. According to the leading part, this is identified as a cephalic, breech, or shoulder presentation. A malpresentation is any presentation other than a vertex presentation (with the top of the head first).
