In 1970, at the Isle of Wight Festival, Leonard Cohen took to the stage around two in the morning amidst violent rioting. All day, the audience of 600,000 had been causing fires, throwing bottles at performers, and booing people off stage. When Cohen stepped on stage to perform he spoke calmly in his monotone voice and began to tell the audience a story about his father who took him to the circus as a child. Remarkably, the audience began to listen. As Cohen continued, he asked them to each light a match so he could see where they all were. The audience did so and hundreds of thousands of small lights pierced the darkness. Cohen calmly chastised the crowd for their violence and then began to sing "Bird on a Wire". Afterwards the crowd was largely calmed.

Laura gorges on the delicious fruit in a sort of bacchic frenzy, then once she is finished, after picking up one of the seeds, returns home in an ecstatic trance.

mootness moot'ness n.
USAGE NOTE The adjective moot is originally a legal term going back to the mid-16th century. It derives from the noun moot, in its sense of a hypothetical case argued as an exercise by law students. Consequently, a moot question is one that is arguable or open to debate. But in the mid-19th century people also began to look at the hypothetical side of moot as its essential meaning, and they started to use the word to mean "of no significance or relevance." Thus, a moot point, however debatable, is one that has no practical value. A number of critics have objected to this use, but 59 percent of the Usage Panel accepts it in the sentence The nominee himself chastised the White House for failing to do more to support him, but his concerns became moot when a number of Republicans announced that they, too, would oppose the nomination. When using moot one should be sure that the context makes clear which sense is meant.

- North America, being Canada, the United States of America, and Mexico (NORAM)
- North America, meaning Canada and the United States of America only (NA; or North American Region, NAR)
- Latin America, and the Caribbean (LATAM, or LAC or CALA)
- Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA).
- Eastern Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EEMEA). Increasingly, companies are separating their Eastern European business from the rest of Europe, and refer to the EEMEA region separately from the Western/Central European (mostly European Union) region.
- Asia Pacific, and Japan (AP, APAC, JAPA or APJ or JAPAC)
