# PCCW Mobile

**PCCW Mobile HK Limited** previously known as **Mandarin Communications Limited**, was a subsidiary of PCCW (via HKT) involving mobile network operator of 2G and 3G in Hong Kong. It was previously owned by a Caymans-incorporated Hong Kong listed company Sunday Communications until 2006.

The company also owned the license of internet service provider and international direct dialing of Hong Kong.

## History

PCCW Mobile HK, previously known as "Mandarin Communications" (registered Chinese name 匯亞通訊有限公司; trading as SUNDAY), was a Hong Kong company that was incorporated in 1994. Mandarin Communications launched its 2G GSM 1800 network in 1997.

Mandarin Communications was a subsidiary of the listed company Sunday Communications since 2000. In 2004, the company signed a contract with Huawei, a Chinese telecommunications company, for the supply and installation of a 3G network to SUNDAY, as well as purchasing the shares of its parent company Sunday Communications. The group acquired the 3G license of Hong Kong via Sunday 3G (Hong Kong) Limited (stylized as SUNDAY 3G), a wholly owned subsidiary of Mandarin Communications.

However, the parent company, Sunday Communications, was acquired by PCCW in 2005, and the subsidiary, Mandarin Communications, was renamed to "PCCW Mobile HK Limited" in 2007, after Sunday Communications selling Mandarin Communications and other businesses to its parent company in 2006. PCCW made this acquisition to return to mobile business after it sold Hong Kong CSL Limited to Australia's Telstra in 2001–02.

Nevertheless, after PCCW, via its subsidiary HKT, re-acquired CSL (known as a different legal person, CSL Limited, at that time) and its parent company CSL New World Mobility from Telstra and New World Development in December 2013, PCCW ceased to use the brand PCCW in its mobile network operator services, which the legal person of PCCW Mobile HK was renamed to CSL Mobile Limited instead, in 2014.

title: PTP4A1

abstract: Protein tyrosine phosphatase type IVA 1 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the PTP4A1 gene. The protein encoded by this gene belongs to a small class of prenylated protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs), which contains a PTP domain and a characteristic C-terminal prenylation motif. PTPs are cell signaling molecules that play regulatory roles in a variety of cellular processes. This tyrosine phosphatase is a nuclear protein, but may primarily associate with plasma membrane. The surface membrane association of this protein depends on its C-terminal prenylation. Overexpression of this gene in mammalian cells conferred a transformed phenotype, which implicated its role in the tumorigenesis. Studies in rat suggested that this gene may be an immediate-early gene in mitogen-stimulated cells.

# Izaak Huru Doko

**Izaak Huru Doko** (also **Izaac**; 20 November 1913 – 29 July 1985) was a Timorese National Hero of Indonesia. He received this title on 3 November 2006.

## Biography

Doko was born in Sabu, Kupang, Timor, on 20 November 1913. He completed his primary education at Dutch-run schools in Kupang before going to Bandung, West Java, to study at a school for teachers. There he met Herman Johannes, with whom he established the organisation Timorsche Jongeren (Young Timorese). He also founded political party called "Perserikatan Kebangsaan Timor" in Kupang, with the goal of Indonesian independence.

During the Japanese occupation, following the overthrow of the Dutch colonial government, he was hired as the leader of Bunkyo Kakari in Kupang from 1 March 1942, a position he held until 1945. Doko wrote extensively on the condition of the Timorese people in Timor Syuho newspaper; he also represented his people in a Japanese-run local government. On 17 August 1945, following Japan's defeat in the Pacific, Indonesia proclaimed its independence. During the ensuing revolution, Doko alongside Tom Gerson Pello organised Timorese youth to put up an armed struggle against the invading Dutch forces. He was chosen as Adviseur, Timorese delegations in Malino Conference. He advocated for the removal of *Korte Verklaring* from all the region and united under Republic of Indonesia.

After the Dutch recognised Indonesia's independence in 1949, Doko organised the Indonesian Democracy Party (*Partai Demokrasi Indonesia*). He became parliament member for State of East Indonesia and eventually minister of information. He spoke out extensively against the formation of an independent State of East Indonesia. During Permesta rebellion, forces under Kawilarang took control of Makassar. He was imprisoned in Sungguminasa although eventually freed. He also helped establish Udayana University in Denpasar, Bali, and the University of Nusa Cendana in Kupang. He served as a school supervisor in Timor from the 1950s and worked at building educational infrastructure in that area. For this, he spent eight months in Australia in 1958, learning about different school systems which could be used. In the 1970s he was head of the Timorese office of the Ministry of Education and Culture.

Doko died on 29 July 1985. On 3 November 2006 he was granted the title National Hero of Indonesia by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. A street in Kupang is named after him.

He flew 230 miles (370 km) across the English Channel in four hours and fifty minutes, the fastest recorded crossing, and was awarded the medal on 1 September 1944, just under three months after the crossing. Paddy was trained by Andrew Hughes of Carnlough and is the only animal in Ireland to be awarded this medal.
The medal citation reads,
"For the best recorded time with a message from the Normandy Operations, while serving with the RAF in June, 1944." His medal was sold at auction for almost £7,000 in September 1999.

title: Pahutoxin

abstract: Pahutoxin, formerly called ostracitoxin, is a neurotoxin present in the mucous secretions of boxfish (Ostraciidae) skin, while under stress. It is an ichthyotoxic, hemolytic, nonpeptide toxin. It is heat-stable and non-dialyzable, that is, foamed in aqueous solutions, and is toxic to various biological systems. It is unique among known fish poisons. It is toxic to other boxfish as well and looks like red tide and sea cucumber toxins in general properties. Although it is not recommended, it is a growing trend to keep boxfish in a home aquarium. Members of the family Ostraciidae secrete an ichthyotoxic mucus from their skin when stressed or disturbed. The boxfish must be alive to synthesize its bodily chemicals into the toxin, therefore it cannot release its toxin after it dies. It may, however, have residual toxin if it were in the process of releasing toxin when it died.

**Jim H. "Big" Thigpen** was a college football player.

## Auburn University

Thigpen was a prominent guard for Mike Donahue's Auburn Tigers of Auburn University from 1912 to 1915. He was a member of two teams which won a Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association (SIAA) title in 1913 and 1914. He was a member of an All-time Auburn Tigers football team selected in 1935, as well as coach Donahue's all-time Auburn team. He was nominated though not selected for an *Associated Press* All-Time Southeast 1869-1919 era team.

### 1913

The *Atlanta Constitution* said he "rated as good as, if not better than, any guard in the south."

### 1914

In 1914 Auburn featured four All-Southern linemen: Thigpen along with Bull Kearley, Boozer Pitts, and Baby Taylor. The *Constitution* noted his "smashing brilliant game in the line." One writer claims "Auburn had a lot of great football teams, but there may not have been one greater than the 1913-1914 team."

text:
# J. Simcha Cohen

**Jack Simcha Cohen** (1936–2014) was an "18th consecutive communal rabbi in his family" and "the face of Orthodox Judaism" to a TV program "viewed by millions each week." He held positions in New York, New Jersey, California (18 years) and Australia, with his "final position in the rabbinate" in Florida.

Cohen, who died on his 78th birthday, was also a long time columnist in The Jewish Press and the author of several books. His first involvement in Jewish public life had been with National Council of Synagogue Youth (NCSY).

## Education

He attended public school during his early elementary years while studying with his father, rabbi of an Orthodox synagogue in Asbury Park, New Jersey. His formal education continued at Yeshiva Chaim Berlin from which he received rabbinical ordination.

His use of "J. Simcha" and "Jack Simcha" can be traced to marrying Shoshana Nayman during his postgraduate studies, and his father-in-law's first name Yaakov, being the same as his.

## Metropolitan New York Coordinating Council on Jewish Poverty

Cohen was their first executive director. Although known by shorter names, the full name was "Metropolitan New York Coordinating Council on Jewish Poverty."

## New Jersey

His first pulpit position was "at Congregation Ahawas Achim B'nai Jacob and David" in West Orange, New Jersey.

## California

He was described by the *Los Angeles Times* as "Orthodox Rabbi Jack Simcha Cohen, 50, spiritual leader of Congregation Shaarei Tefila in Los Angeles" when he became president of the Board of Rabbis of Southern California. The newspaper described the board as a "240-member body dominated by rabbis from the Reform and Conservative branches." Cohen served the synagogue for 18 years.

## Australia

His involvement in the Jewish community of Melbourne, Australia included synagogue rabbi and kashrus supervision.

He arrived there in 1996; shortly after he died, an Australian rabbi/educator wrote about his "pleasant disposition .. a professional American style Rabbi with lots of grandeur."

## Florida (final position in the rabbinate)

After leaving Australia Cohen became the rabbi of Congregation Aitz Chaim, in West Palm Beach. As of that time, he had authored six books.

While in Florida he continued writing his *Jewish Press* column, but also began contributing to a 2007-founded Torah weblog, Jewish Ideas.

## Jewish Press column

His *Halachic Questions* column originated when a future associate editor of *The Jewish Press*, while vacationing in Los Angeles, met and encouraged Cohen to talk with the New York-based paper's co-founder Sholom Klass. The latter two met when Cohen was visiting New York. He began "to write a weekly halacha column" for which "the final installment .. appeared in the paper .. days before his death."

Some topics were tip-of-the-iceberg.

### Appointing Women Leaders

An example of a topic he wrote about in 1999, which has become of practical application for Modern Orthodox synagogues by 2017, is the matter of synagogues with a woman president. He cited two earlier writings from prior generations with:

* "perhaps the requirement .. to be a male" is negated if she is more qualified than male alternative candidates.
* since it is compared to being a king, and Jewish kings were intended to rule in the Land of Israel, then outside Israel might be OK.

He conceded that both of these were "not reported as halachic rulings" and are just theoretical.

### Family, privacy, charity

His *Obligations of a Charity Collector* backed with 3 citations that a communal charity official not only may but must reveal to family members that their relative needs financial assistance, even overriding "whether the claimant for funds gives such permission."

## Books

Cohen, who was described as "a Talmud scholar and prolific author" authored:

* *Intermarriage and Conversion: A Halakhic Solution*

* The 613th Commandment: An Analysis of the Mitzvah to Write a Sefer Torah

* How Does Jewish Law Work?

* Shabbat: The Right Way: Resolving Halachic Dilemmas

* Timely Jewish Questions, Timeless Rabbinic Answers

* The Jewish Heart: Essays on Jewish Sensitivities

# Pakistan audio leaks controversy

The **Pakistan audio leaks controversy** stems from several leaked audio conversations involving Pakistan's prime minister Shehbaz Sharif and former prime minister Imran Khan among others. The leaks began on 24 September 2022, when multiple audio files of purported conversations, allegedly recorded in the Prime Minister's Office, surfaced online. On 28 September 2022, a National Security Committee (NSC) meeting was convened to discuss matters related to national security, including the audio leaks.

## Audio leaks case

In May 2023, Najam Saqib, son of former chief justice of Pakistan Saqib Nisar, filed a petition in the Islamabad High Court (IHC) against a National Assembly committee tasked with investigating his purported audio leak.

In September 2023, Bushra Bibi filed a petition in the Islamabad High Court (IHC) over the issue of an alleged phone conversation leak between her and the former prime minister Imran Khan’s special assistant Zulfi Bukhari.

On 12 September 2023, the IHC clubbed the petition of Bushra Bibi with the identical petition of Najam Saqib in the audio leaks case.

In April 2024, the Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA), the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA), the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) and the Intelligence Bureau (IB) requested the recusal of Justice Babar Sattar from hearing audio leaks’ case. On 29 April, Justice Sattar rejected pleas from the PEMRA, PTA and the FIA requesting his recusal and imposed fines of Rs 500,000 on each of the institutions. On 3 May, it emerged that the IHC had also dismissed the IB’s plea seeking the judge's recusal.

On 29 May 2024, the IHC issued a restraining order with regard to accessing data of consumers and its use. It restrained telecom companies from phone tapping for surveillance.

On 25 June 2024, the IHC rejected the government's plea for the in-chamber hearing of the audio leaks case. On 5 July, the federal government filed an appeal in the Supreme Court under Article 185(3) of the constitution against the IHC’s order.

***Palmetto*** is a 1998 neo-noir thriller film directed by Volker Schlöndorff (as *Volker Schlondorff*) with a screenplay by E. Max Frye. It is based on the 1961 novel *Just Another Sucker* by James Hadley Chase. The film stars Woody Harrelson, Elisabeth Shue and Gina Gershon.

## Plot

Harry Barber is serving time in prison after being framed in a corruption scandal.

Before his arrest, he was a reporter for a Florida newspaper that uncovered widespread corruption in the local government. After rejecting a bribe that would have ensured his silence, Harry finds the funds deposited into his bank account and he is promptly arrested. Now, two years later, he is released when an ex-cop's testimony vindicates him.

Though he is bitter against the town officials, Harry wanders back to Palmetto with his girlfriend Nina, who has been patiently waiting for him. Unable to find a job, he spends his days lounging in a local bar. In walks Rhea Malroux, the very attractive femme, wife of the richest man in town, who offers him a job: help her and her daughter Odette scam the old man out of $500,000 with a bogus kidnapping scheme, in which Harry would receive a ten percent cut.

Tempted by both Rhea's seductive charms and the prospect of some quick cash, Harry goes along with the plan. First, he goes over to the Malroux mansion to check that his facts are in order, about who Rhea actually is. Then he agrees to meet with Rhea in private to iron out the details. And lastly, he asks to take a meeting with Odette, to make sure she is actually in on the plan. After all of these things seem to check out, Harry agrees.

When Odette goes missing, (the plan is that she will stay out of town for a few days, until her father pays the money,) the story gets leaked to the police. The police then come to Harry, looking to offer him a job. His brother in law is a top detective, and knowing that Harry used to write for the paper, he believes Harry would be good at keeping the press informed, but also keeping them off the backs of the detectives who are working the case. So now Harry is part of the kidnapping, but he's also part of the police investigative team.

When Harry shows up to his bungalow to find Odette dead one day, he realizes he's in a lot of trouble. He uses a tape recording he made, when ironing out the terms of the deal with Rhea Malroux to blackmail her. And so she sends her boyfriend to dispose of Odette's body. But then the real Odette turns up in Harry's bungalow, also dead, and things get even worse. This time, the police find out about it.

That leads to Harry working with the police to catch Rhea Malroux and her boyfriend. Harry goes to see Rhea's husband and tell him everything. He learns that the woman pretending to be Rhea is not this man's actual wife. Instead, she is the gardener. She and her boyfriend, Donnelly take Harry from the Malroux home to a garage, where they are also holding Nina. They plan to kill both of them by dipping them in a barrel of acid, but Harry is wearing a wire and the police arrive. Donnelly falls into the barrel of acid and the woman pretending to be Rhea Malroux is arrested.

However, Harry is also arrested for the original conspiracy to kidnap, despite the fact he set up the real criminals. He does a short stint in prison where he writes a novel based on his experiences, which he hopes will be made into a movie.

## Cast

## Reception

Roger Ebert gave the film 2 out of 4 stars, praising Harrelson's acting and some of the storyline, but criticising the directing, script, and Shue's casting, concluding that "Palmetto knows the words, but not the music".

Reviewing the film in the New York Times, Stephen Holden praised the Harrelson's casting and the filming, but criticised the plotline for losing direction and "becoming a shrill, comic self-parody...\[that\] begins to reel from its own desperate desire to be surprising".

In the Washington Post, Stephen Hunter praised the film's beginning, but felt that "quickly enough the movie gets lost in the tendrils of its own seemingly dense but actually stupid plot". In the same newspaper, Desson Howe felt the film "isn't so bad you'd want to roast it over the coals, but it ain't much good either".

The film holds a 39% rating on review site Rotten Tomatoes, based on 36 reviews.

title: Palmetto (crater)

abstract: Palmetto crater is a small crater in the Descartes Highlands of the Moon visited by the astronauts of Apollo 16. The name of the crater was formally adopted by the IAU in 1973. On April 21, 1972, the Apollo 16 Lunar Module (LM) Orion landed about 1.5 km south of Palmetto, which is between the prominent North Ray and South Ray craters. The astronauts John Young and Charles Duke explored the area over the course of three EVAs using a Lunar Roving Vehicle, or rover. They drove along the rim of Palmetto on EVA 3, on their way to North Ray, but did not stop. As they drove by, Duke said "There's a good ejecta blanket of half-meter-size boulders around the rim of Palmetto into some of these secondary craters here." On the way back to the lunar module from North Ray, Duke took a sequence of photos of Palmetto while riding on the rover. The crater was also used as a landmark by Apollo astronauts on previous missions. It was designated landmark DE-1/12, and astronaut Dick Gordon tracked it photographically on revolutions 42 and 44 of the Apollo 12 mission. Palmetto crater is approximately 760 m in diameter and approximately 130 m deep. The similar-sized crater Gator lies 1 km to the southeast. Palmetto cuts into the Cayley Formation of Imbrian age.

# Vordul Mega

**Shamar Gardner** (born March 24, 1979), better known by his stage name **Vordul Mega** (a.k.a. Vordul Megallah), is an American rapper from New York. He is formerly one half of underground hip hop duo Cannibal Ox and a member of the hip hop group Atoms Family. Vordul has since retired from music.

## Career

Vordul Mega's debut solo album, *The Revolution of Yung Havoks*, was released in 2004. That same year, Vordul Mega also put out a supplemental compilation LP composed of new and rare work, some of which was not included on *Revolution Of Yung Havoks*. This second album, titled *Yung World*, features guest appearances by Aesop Rock, PR Terrorist (also known as Dom Pachino), Keith Masters and billy woods. It was released exclusively through Sandbox, an online retailer based in New York City. Vordul's counterpart and fellow Cannibal Ox member Vast Aire appears with Vordul on a track titled "Handle That" from Vordul's *Revolution Of Yung Havoks*. Vast Aire released a solo album called *Look Mom... No Hands* earlier in 2004.

Vordul has also been involved in numerous side projects with record labels ranging from Think Differently Music to Backwoodz Studioz to Embedded Music. His work with billy woods on the 2002 album *Camouflage* was billed as a collaborative effort, but has since come to be viewed as billy woods' solo debut, despite Vordul's presence on one-third of the tracks. *Camouflage'*s limited pressings, quirky production, and socio-political commentary right after the September 11th attacks garnered some accolades.

In 2005, Vordul again collaborated with Backwoodz Studioz as part of a ten-member ensemble of New York based MC's called The Reavers. The Reavers include artists Akir, Vordul Mega, Karniege, billy woods, Dom Pachino, Kong, Keith Masters, Goldenchild, Privilege, Hasan Salaam and Spiga. The group thus incorporates members of several New York City crews and collectives including Cannibal Ox, Monsta Island Czars, Backwoodz Studioz, Killarmy, and 5th Column. *Terror Firma*, The Reavers' debut album, was applauded in some circles for its creativity and gritty aesthetic, despite being poorly received by other critics. Shortly afterwards, Definitive Jux announced that it had signed Vast Aire and Vordul Mega to do a second Cannibal Ox album with El-P. Vordul appeared on Keith Masters' *Bioluminescence* on the tracks "Amongst The Havenots" and "Where Did Life Go Wrong", released in 2005. Vordul also appeared on C-Rayz Walz' *Year of the Beast* on the track "Street Reppin".

In 2008, Vordul released his second album *Megagraphitti*. The album was pieced together over the course of 8 years, taking breaks for side projects, and his debut solo album. In 2011, he appeared on the Backwoodz Studios' compilation *The Cost of Living* on the track "Antz" also featuring Junclassic and billy woods.

# The Girl in the Fridge

"**The Girl in the Fridge**" is the eighth episode of the first season of the television series, *Bones*. Originally aired on November 29, 2005 on FOX network, the episode is written by Dana Coen and directed by Sanford Bookstaver. The episode features FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth and Dr. Temperance Brennan's investigation into the human remains of a teenage girl found inside a refrigerator and a subplot concerning the relationship between Brennan and her former lover and professor, Michael Stires.

## Summary

Dr. Brennan's former professor from Northwestern University, Dr. Michael Stires, drops by for a visit. The two also have a casual sexual relationship which Brennan assumes is not complicated. She also thinks that they have a healthy professional rivalry. Both these assumptions are tested in a new case that starts with the decayed remains found in an old refrigerator. The remains belong to Maggie Schilling, a 19-year-old dancer who was estranged from her family. She was briefly held for ransom 11 months earlier before the negotiations suddenly terminated.

Dr. Jack Hodgins and Brennan's assistant, Zack Addy, determine that the victim had hyperparathyroidism, which is confirmed by the victim's former doctor. The doctor discloses to Booth and Brennan that his former office manager, Mary Costello, had supplied the victim with drugs. The investigation swiftly leads to two likely suspects, Mary Costello and her husband, when Booth sees their new refrigerator and later finds handcuffs in their basement that Brennan suspects may have caused the stress fractures on the victim's wrist.

The twist in the tale occurs when Michael is recruited by the defense as an expert witness. The trial boils down to a contest between the cold factual style of Bones and the charming layman approach of Michael. The prosecution's jury consultant highlights this standoff as a "choice between reality and perception", and she goes on to state that perception wins cases. In the first few rounds, the expert witness for defense has the upper hand with his charming layman approach and his smear campaign against Brennan. Booth decides to bring out an emotional testimony from Brennan by asking the prosecution to bring up her missing parents and the reason for her being a forensic anthropologist. This breaks the proverbial ice between the jury and Brennan, leading to a conviction by the jury.

Michael tries to reconcile with Brennan, who ignores him. Booth apologizes to Brennan for breaching her privacy but states that it was necessary for their case. Seeing Brennan's sadness, Angela Montenegro tries to invite her for a drink but Brennan declines. Booth brings Brennan to another crime scene, where he apologizes to her again. Brennan accepts his apology, saying that she would have done what he did in the same situation.

## Music

The episode featured *Hold Tight* by Mark Geary.

## Production details

In chronological order, "The Girl in the Fridge" was written and filmed after "The Man in the Wall", which was aired as the series' sixth episode while "The Girl in the Fridge" was aired as the series' eighth episode. According to the writer of the episode, Dana Coen, the main focus of the episode was on Brennan's character, showing the audience "why she struggles to live a life of science in the service of her heart" and "how the loss of her parents defined her."

title: Fantasia in C major (Haydn)

abstract: Fantasia in C major, Hob. XVII/4, "Capriccio", was written by Joseph Haydn. It is based on the Austrian folk song D’ Bäurin hat d'Katz verlor'n. In March 1789, he wrote to the publishing company Artaria, saying, "In a moment of great good humour I have completed a new Capriccio for fortepiano, whose taste, singularity and special construction cannot fail to receive approval from connoisseurs and amateurs alike. In a single movement, rather long, but not particularly difficult." The fact that Haydn wrote the fantasia "for connoisseurs and amateurs alike" was most likely a nod to C. P. E. Bach's Für Kenner und Liebhaber that he had requested from Artaria the year before. However, the piece was more difficult than Haydn thought it would be, with zany virtuosity and orchestral effects, recalling the last movement of his Sonata No. 48.

abstract:
Maniac is a power pop, punk rock band from Los Angeles, CA. that was started by Andrew Zappin, Zache Davis of The Cute Lepers and The Girls, Ardavon Fatehi and Richie Cardenas of Clorox Girls and Neighborhood Brats in 2012. Shortly after Maniac's formation, Justin Maurer of La Drugz and Clorox Girls replaced Ardavon on guitar. The following year, Richie left and was replaced by James Carman of Images and LA Drugz on the drums. Maniac have been described as "a perfect combination of everything that's cool about melodic punk and power pop" and their first record Demimonde "offers the kind of melodic buzzsaw that’s just as likely to appeal to every fortysomething at the last Buzzcocks show as it will to every twentysomething at the last Ty Segall show." The band released a single in 2013 and a full-length LP in 2014, both on La Ti Da records.
The band premiered a video for "Party City" which was the first single off their LP "Demimonde" in 2015.

## Plot summary

On the demonic Twelfth Plane, the demon Zdim Akh's son is drafted for a year's indentured servitude on the human Prime Plane, the demon society having an agreement to provide service to human sorcerers in return for supplies of iron, a raw material it desperately needs.

Zdim is duly summoned to the Prime Plane by the sorcerer Dr. Maldivius of Novaria. There he strives to do his duty, but his demonic literal-mindedness hampers him. Assigned to protect the Sibylline Sapphire from any trespassers, he promptly eats Maldivius' apprentice Grax when the latter intrudes.

Similar misadventures result in the disgusted Maldivius selling his contract, and the demon is passed from one master to another, from circus master Bagardo to the rich widow Roska of Ir, all the while doing his level best to figure out what the muddled humans truly wish of him.

Against all odds he becomes a hero when he recruits aid for the city-state of Ir after it discounts intelligence of an imminent invasion by the cannibal Paaluans. Returning to his home plane early and with extra iron, he resolves never again to leave the comforts of the Twelfth Plane — until he realizes how dull it is compared with the picturesque insanity of the human realm...

By internal chronology, *The Fallible Fiend* is the second story in the Novarian series, coming after the short story "The Emperor's Fan", which is set centuries before the others, and prior to the *Reluctant King* trilogy. (The Paaluan invasion of Ir is mentioned in the second and third books of the trilogy, *The Clocks of Iraz* and *The Unbeheaded King*, respectively, as an event occurring either recently or some generations past.)

## Setting

The world of which Novaria is part is a parallel world to Earth, a plane of existence related to ours in that ours constitutes its afterlife. Culturally it bears resemblances to the eras of both Classical Greece and Medieval Europe. The states of Novaria itself are split between competing systems of government, some of them unique, which allows the author to explore various pros and cons of different styles of governance as his hero tours the country.

The name of Ir, the subterranean city-state where much the plot takes place, is simply the Hebrew word for "city" (עיר).

## Features

Adopting the viewpoint of an outsider to comment on the foibles of one's own society has been done before in fiction, but adapting it to fantasy also permits him to extend it into an outside view of humanity as a whole by an alien being and maintain a satirical edge throughout the book. De Camp's demonic protagonist Zdim long remained a uniquely unlikely fantasy hero, as other authors were slow to mine the concept de Camp pioneered.

## Reception

Al Nofi in *Amra*, observing that the book "has neither characters nor plot line in common with the earlier pair" of Novarian novels, finds this "a very good move on Mr. de Camp's part; it saves the work needed to construct a credible ethos yet gives the author an opportunity to work with new characters and situations." Noting that "Mr. de Camp, of course, has been doing unusual things with his swords and sorcery for years," he calls the demon Zdim Akh's son "a most unusual hero indeed," "one of de Camp's best heroes yet; to me, he seems more human, even, than the hordes of breech-clothed, shaggy-haired giants with names all ending in *-ar* who romp through countless S & S sagas. All in all, this is a fine book."

Roger C. Schlobin praises the book's "\[d\]elightful episodes occur\[ring\] as the fiend misunderstands his commands and tries to function in a totally alien environment, which is, of course, quite normal for the reader." He feels it "\[d\]eteriorates somewhat at the end as the fiend becomes a hero and saves civilization.

Brian M. Stableford calls "*The Fallible Fiend* ... more offbeat than de Camp's other ventures in the genre," and Zdim "perhaps the only sword-and-sorcery hero who regularly devours people. Still, he remains likable as he provides a suitably ironic commentary on human affairs from the demonic standpoint."

Steven Silver called the book "a humorous novel, although not in a laugh-out-loud way." He sees its "main point \[as\] satire, a fact which is driven home if the reader begins to look at characterization or plot, neither of which appear in particular abundance. ... The characters are drawn with broad strokes, each inspired by one, or possibly two, character traits." But "as \[with\] most satire, he causes the reader\[s\] to recognize the humor of the situation and compare it to their own situation." Silver sees "Zdim's travels throughout Novaria as a pretext for unleashing slings and arrows of outrageous satire at governmental practices and systems ... thereby highlighting the follies of our own system of government." The hero's contact with other cultures, the "fantasy staples" of "the semi-human Zaperazh, the horse nomadic Hruntings, and the cannibalistic Paaluans ... clearly shows why each is as implausible as the more 'corrupt' human institutions of civilizations."

Don D'Ammassa finds "*The Fallible Fiend* ... in much the same vein" as *The Reluctant King* series, with "\[m\]ost of the humor com\[ing\] from the efforts by the demon to understand human behavior."

Mike Ashley called the story "a wonderfully nostalgic fantasy in the *Unknown* tradition."

## Awards

In its original serial form the book won the British Fantasy Society's 1973 August Derleth Fantasy Award for best short story.
