A Thai director's elliptical view of the world
BANGKOK — BANGKOK: Apichatpong Weerasethakul's cryptic movies defy easy categorization: What to make of a film that starts out as a sweet love story but turns into a phantasmagoric mind-trip ("Tropical Malady," 2004)? Or his Exquisite Corpse film, which grows more surreal with every twist of the tale ("Mysterious Object at Noon," 2000)?
But this radical, nonlinear approach to filmmaking has earned the 36-year- old Thai director a reputation as one of Asia's most exciting filmmakers. Film critics have said that Apichatpong brings to cinema an entirely fresh way of viewing the world.

| Now, they’re also scientific subjects in a study of how stress hormones affect social structure. |
| The long soaks — which they appear to have copied from humans — bring their stress levels down. And higher-ranking females spent more time in the pools. |

He was called a tramp; but that was only an elliptical way of saying that he was a philosopher, an artist, a traveler, a naturalist, and a discoverer. But most of all he was a poet. In all his life he never wrote a line of verse; he lived his poetry."

quorum
法定人數是議事程序裡面規定議會要進行議事的時候需要出席議員的最低數量。羅伯特議事規則說：這樣要求是防止由過小數目的議員進行完全不具代表性的行動。
定足数（ていそくすう、英:Quorum）は、合議制の機関が議事を開き、また、議事を行うために必要な最小限度の出席者数をいう。なお、この意味の定足数を議事定足数というのに対して、表決数は議決定足数とも呼ばれる[1]。
A quorum is the minimum number of members of a deliberative assembly (a body that uses parliamentary procedure, such as a legislature) necessary to conduct the business of that group. According to Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised, the "requirement for a quorum is protection against totally unrepresentative action in the name of the body by an unduly small number of persons."[2]
