Summary: Isabel looks back on her time with Alex
Disclaimer: The song 'I Meant To Do That' is sung by Paul Brandt. Roswell, the characters, the episodes, the themes, are owned by a bunch of people who aren't me. However, if they're willing to share, I'll not say nay.
Many thanks as always to Sprayadhesive, my beta, who never let me forget about this, the first fanfic story I ever started. Took me almost a year – I hope it was worth it.

I Meant To Do That
A rose in a box,
Alex can't believe it as Isabel smirks "Nice mask, Alex," as she and Maria walk past him through the crowds of the Crash Festival.
Wrapped up in dreams,
Somehow he doesn't imagine his response of "Nice cones" was quite the way to go.
A card that explains
Alex sees Isabel walking out of the mandatory career development meetings in Ms. Topolsky's office.
How much your love means;
He asks her how the meeting went, but she walks right past him, not even looking at him.
Table for two,
Isabel follows Alex into his dreams and watches as he puts the finishing touches to a romantic dining room, complete with musicians and a candle-lit table.
Soft candle light,
Isabel gasps in surprise as she sees herself arrive. Her hair is down, her make-up is natural but perfect, her red dress with black trim hugs her curves, and the bathing light makes her glow.
The words 'I love you'
As Dream Alex and Dream Isabel dance, he tells her the last words she ever expected to hear from any human boy.
Somewhere in the night.
"It's too scary to show who you really are. You can show me."
I meant to do that,
Alex can barely maintain control of his mind – let alone mouth or body – as Isabel approaches him with a smile and a very low-cut tank top.
Does that mean a thing?
Isabel unbuttons Alex's top shirt button, and he's certain that he's died and gone to heaven.
If you wanted songs
At the old soap factory, Isabel repeats her action of unbuttoning Alex's top shirt button, though his recovery time is much quicker this time around.
That I meant to sing
Alex follows as Isabel leads him to a more secluded part of the soap factory, so they can "talk."
I'd give you the world
Alex's smile stretches ear-to-ear as Isabel tells him what a great guy he is.
If you'd give mine back.
It fades as realization dawns; he realizes that Isabel wanted only to keep him from telling Topolsky or anyone else about what he did for Max at the hospital. He admonishes himself aloud as a fool and walks off.
What I didn't do,
Later that night, Alex parts ways with Liz after being released from prison and learning the truth about Michael, Max Isabel. As he walks home, he ponders the enigma of Isabel Evans for about the millionth time, this time with a new understanding.
I meant to do that.
Alex listens – and does his own share of talking – as he learns more about the Pod Squad from Isabel, the two of them tucked into a booth of the Crashdown. He can hardly keep his eyes off of her.
Late in the night,
Alex and Isabel sit on a log in the woods, as he points out various constellations to her.
Nothing to say,
As the early morning light blends into midday, Alex leans over and kisses Isabel at her request. She maintains her Ice-Queen demeanor, and walks away as he calls after her that he's available for further "experimentation" any time.
Maybe a call
Alex sits to eat lunch with Isabel. He tries to strike up conversation with her, but is interrupted by the arrival of a curly-haired blonde who seamlessly guides the conversation away from Alex altogether.
To talk anyway;
Alex faces the lifeless glow of a small camera strategically placed in the Harding household. He tries to keep from jumping up and down as Isabel sits in the chair next to him and rests her head on his shoulder as she dozes off.
A letter or two,
Alex tries to ask Isabel to go to the movies with him, but her blunt refusal isn't nearly as devastating to his efforts as the arrival of a rugged handsome outsider, who captures Isabel's complete attention.
Some words that rhyme,
Isabel's face is almost unrecognizable as a genuine smile lights up her features at the sight of Alex stripping himself of his policeman's costume.
To promise you love
The strip-tease comes to a crashing halt as Alex lays eyes on Mrs. Evans.
For now and all time.
Alex sits at the counter of the Crashdown with the latest CD that his band has put together. He's made a copy for Maria, but he's hoping to wait until just the right moment so that if Isabel shows any interest, he can give her the extra copy that he made.
I meant to do that
On Liz's chilled balcony, Alex sets up his slides from his time in Sweden. Isabel is called away, but before she crawls back through the window, they lock eyes and share a moment. Somehow, even though she is on her way out, Alex feels that this moment will mark a change in their relationship.
Does that mean a thing?
Alex tries not to think about Isabel and that guy he saw her leaving the hotel with. He distracts himself by taking pictures of the group as they dance to Maria's singing. Isabel sneaks up behind him. She doesn't know why, but she feels compelled to follow her instincts and confide in him her deepest fear of being "the biggest freak on the planet."
If you wanted songs
Alex responds the only way he knows how: honestly. "Well, I'm sorry, but that's just not true. When you're ready, you'll find someone, and you'll make him the happiest man ever."
That I meant to sing
For the first time in almost a year, Isabel takes the first step. She asks him to dance.
I'd give you the world
Isabel drops as many obvious hints as she can think of; but for the first time, Alex isn't willing to play the same "obsessed, pathetic and lovesick" role from before.
If you'd give mine back
Isabel can think of only one way to convince Alex that he's the only one she wants to take her to the prom.
What I didn't do
She shows up at his bedroom window and avails herself of his unflinching support and friendship, telling him a secret that she hasn't told anybody else about yet. And then, she tries once more to tell him that if he asks, she won't say no. Alex rewards her with the words she's been desperate to hear: "Isabel Evans, go to the prom with me?"
I meant to do that.
Alex doesn't know this, but Isabel's already bought a dress. She searched for weeks to find one as similar as possible to the one she saw once in Alex's dream. It's not an exact match – there's no black lace trim, no straps on this dress – but the cut of the neck is the same, and the red satin makes her skin glow. Alex always liked the way she looks in red.
Hold on to the love you gave
Alex stands behind her and holds her close during pictures at the Crashdown.
Until the end of time,
He holds her again as they pose for pictures after they arrive at the prom.
And love you more every day
He thinks that nothing could possibly feel better than walking around the room with Isabel's arm in his. When they begin to dance, he knows he was wrong.
Until you know that I,
Isabel can't remember feeling as safe, as cherished, as free as she does with Alex on the dance floor. From now on, she promises herself that she won't take him for granted anymore.
I meant to do that
The last thing Isabel remembers is hearing Maria's scream and watching Valenti walk into the café with a look on his face she's never seen before.
Does that mean a thing?
She has no idea how she got here to the hospital parking lot, but she knows – she just knows – that in a moment, Max will come out of the back of the ambulance with Alex.
If you wanted songs
Alex's smiling face looks at her from over her shoulder. She doesn't think twice about throwing her arms around him and hugging her like she'll never let go. He tells her it was a big misunderstanding – she wonders how the English language can contain such beautiful words. There's never been as sweet a kiss as the one he gives her.
But the dream runs away as she opens her eyes and sees her mother standing over her.
That I meant to sing,
The days bleed into each other without distinction, and before she knows it, Isabel is standing in the green grass with her family and friends … with one noticeable exception. She thinks Maria's voice has never sounded so melancholy.
I'd give you the world
She never knew it was possible to wake up crying.
If you'd give mine back.
Mr. Whitman calls her to say that her prom pictures have arrived. It takes her almost an hour before she can pull herself together enough to drive there. His parents tell her that they've taken a couple of copies for themselves, but that they want her to have the rest. They tell her how beautiful she looks. Isabel clutches the envelope as she bids them goodbye. The pictures sit under her bed for almost a month before she can look at them.
What I didn't do,
Everywhere she goes, there seems to be a memory of Alex; at school, in her home, at the Crashdown, around town. Sometimes she finds it difficult just to walk from one classroom to another. She dreams of going someplace where she won't be forced to think about Alex every time she turns a corner.
I meant to do that
On her last night on earth, there's only one place Isabel wants to be. She recreates a scene she once saw in Alex's dream at the one place that she knows Alex will be.
What I didn't do,
For the last time, she hears Alex asking her to dance. And even though she knows she must look like a fool for dancing with nobody, she swears she can feel the ghost of his handprint holding her waist.
I meant to do that.
The End.

The Travaux Étudiants team
At your service since 1996
Founded in 1996 by Antoine Halabi, then a student at Cégep Montmorency, in Laval. The idea behind Travaux Étudiants was to create his own job for the summer and start a business. He believed that it was necessary during the difficult period of the recession to turn things around in his favor, to assume part of the social charge and to aim for the future.
With the aid of an old mower, a few rags, and a borrowed ladder, he criss-crossed Laval, mowing lawns, washing windows and painting houses, in order to pay his way through university.
After completing his university education and starting a successful career as a real estate agent, Antoine ceded this business in 2007 which has become a group of student entrepreneurs who serve the metropolitan area. Counting more than 25 student partners, the team's goal this year is to create 40 jobs.
After serving more than 6,000 clients, Student Works, continues in the same tradition and stands out today in the field of residential work as the company that offers professional quality work at student prices.

How the Democrats lost their grip on the blue collar vote
Selena Zito:
...The current group of Democrat candidates further alienates union voters by pushing the Medicare for all which would mean they would lose the healthcare insurance they have bargained for over the years which is superior to Medicare. While they might not like Trump's style his policies have directly benefited unions by bringing millions of jobs back to this country and by attacking China's theft of jobs and intellectual property which creates those jobs.
It was the promise of "card check" legislation, which would have made it easier for workers to unionize, which first energized the labor movement for Obama in 2008, fueling donations and grass-roots support.
But even with Obama in the White House and Democrats holding healthy majorities in both the House and the Senate, working-class voters were rewarded with no labor-law reform in 2009 or 2010.
As a result, non-college whites fled the Democrats during the 2010 midterms, when they supported GOP candidates by double digits, turning the House of Representatives red.
This cohort leans Republican now more than ever; a Gallup poll this year shows they favor the GOP by a whopping 25 percentage points.
It was as if the Democratic Party didn't understand how much they needed labor. Oddly, it appears they still don't. "The working-class voters in my county tend to wonder if the party still wants them," says Mark Hackel, the Democratic chief executive of Macomb County, Mich., where voters favored Trump over Clinton by 11 percentage points. "They're not really sure where they fit in."
Mike Mikus, a Democratic strategist who helped guide Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf's successful reelection last year, said it would be folly if his party didn't start wooing the working-class voter.

KUALA LUMPUR (Oct 18): Affin Hwang Capital Research has upgraded Press Metal Aluminium Holdings Bhd to "Buy" at RM4.85 with a higher target price of RM5.35 (from RM4.80) and said Press Metal is prepped for a 2-year core EPS CAGR of 38% in FY20-21E.
In a note today, the research house said this growth will come from the new aluminium production capacity commencing in October 2020, maiden earnings contribution from its investment in PT Bintan Alumina and a weak ringgit.
"The resumption of alumina supply and hence lower production cost provides a near-term catalyst.
"We raise our target price to RM5.35 based on a higher 2020E PER target of 33x and upgrade our call to Buy from Hold,"it said.

It's been a long time coming, and the rollout didn't go quite as planned, but Taylor Swift's seventh album, Lover, is here. Stream the album below via Apple Music or Spotify.
The campaign began in late April, with a sprinkled scavenger hunt of hints across social media that culminated in the release of "ME!" featuring Brendon Urie of Panic! at the Disco. The bubblegum ballad felt perfunctory, a half-hearted, half-baked not-quite-hit with a spelling interlude. The single failed to top the Billboard Hot 100, stymied by the longest-running No. 1 in history, Lil Nas X's "Old Town Road," making "ME!" the first lead single from Swift to not reach the top spot since Speak Now's "Mine" in 2010.
The release of "You Need to Calm Down" followed in June, its timing seemingly intended to coincide with Pride Month, with its "Why are you mad when you could be GLAAD?" lyric and a video featuring cameos from Adam Lambert, Hayley Kiyoko, Adam Rippon, RuPaul, and the Queer Eye cast (plus a final, feud-settling moment with Katy Perry). In the wake of its release, Swift was hit with accusations of queerbaiting and appropriation (like Perry before her); the video, which Swift co-directed, also faced separate backlash for its caricatured, classist depictions.
Later that month, Swift made headlines as Big Machine, her longtime label until last fall, was acquired by Scooter Braun, manager of Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande. That meant Braun — not Swift — owns the masters to the pop star's first six albums. She called the sale her "worst-case scenario," citing Braun's "incessant, manipulative bullying" that came courtesy of his clients. On Thursday, Swift confirmed weeks of speculation when she told Robin Roberts of "Good Morning America" that she intends to re-record and re-release the six albums sold to Braun.
All the while, the Swift promotional train barreled toward release date. In an increasingly rare move, Swift spoke to both Entertainment Weekly and Vogue, having eschewed interviews during her last album cycle. Swift and her new multi-colored aesthetic – a stark contrast to her goth-lite Reputation era – have also taken over Amazon shipping boxes and morning show stages, unveiling Target exclusive deluxe editions and Stella McCartney collaborations.
The run-up to Lover also included the release of the much-maligned trailer for Cats, the upcoming cinematic adaptation of the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical starring Swift, Idris Elba, Jennifer Hudson, Judi Dench and James Corden. And though Swift's cinematic foray is separate from the album release, her role as a literal cat is weirdly on-brand for the noted cat lover.
Swift has been characteristically tight-lipped when it comes to what to expect on Lover, but subsequent pre-album releases have hinted that the record itself, a double album that spans 18 tracks, may approach new sonic terrain. "The Archer," produced by Jack Antonoff, has a dream-pop feel; the title track "Lover" evokes a waltz, weaving a romantic, nostalgic message. The tracklist, released last Friday on Instagram, confirmed a collaboration with Dixie Chicks entitled "Soon You'll Get Better."
You won't find a paywall here. Come as often as you like — we're not counting. You've found a like-minded tribe that cherishes what a free press stands for. If you can spend another couple of minutes making a pledge of as little as $5, you'll feel like a superhero defending democracy for less than the cost of a month of Netflix.

Concept: Famine
Genetically modified crops and food security
The role of genetically modified (GM) crops for food security is the subject of public controversy. GM crops could contribute to food production increases and higher food availability. There may also be impacts on food quality and nutrient composition. Finally, growing GM crops may influence farmers' income and thus their economic access to food. Smallholder farmers make up a large proportion of the undernourished people worldwide. Our study focuses on this latter aspect and provides the first ex post analysis of food security impacts of GM crops at the micro level. We use comprehensive panel data collected over several years from farm households in India, where insect-resistant GM cotton has been widely adopted. Controlling for other factors, the adoption of GM cotton has significantly improved calorie consumption and dietary quality, resulting from increased family incomes. This technology has reduced food insecurity by 15-20% among cotton-producing households. GM crops alone will not solve the hunger problem, but they can be an important component in a broader food security strategy.

Role of Food Insecurity in Outbreak of Anthrax Infections among Humans and Hippopotamuses Living in a Game Reserve Area, Rural Zambia
- Emerging infectious diseases
- Published almost 3 years ago
- Discuss
In September 2011, a total of 511 human cases of anthrax (Bacillus anthracis) infection and 5 deaths were reported in a game management area in the district of Chama, Zambia, near where 85 hippopotamuses (Hippopotamus amphibious) had recently died of suspected anthrax. The human infections generally responded to antibiotics. To clarify transmission, we conducted a cross-sectional, interviewer-administered household survey in villages where human anthrax cases and hippopotamuses deaths were reported. Among 284 respondents, 84% ate hippopotamus meat before the outbreak. Eating, carrying, and preparing meat were associated with anthrax infection. Despite the risk, 23% of respondents reported they would eat meat from hippopotamuses found dead again because of food shortage (73%), lack of meat (12%), hunger (7%), and protein shortage (5%). Chronic food insecurity can lead to consumption of unsafe foods, leaving communities susceptible to zoonotic infection. Interagency cooperation is necessary to prevent outbreaks by addressing the root cause of exposure, such as food insecurity.
From Food Insufficiency towards Trade Dependency: A Historical Analysis of Global Food Availability
Achieving global food security is one of the major challenges of the coming decades. In order to tackle future food security challenges we must understand the past. This study presents a historical analysis of global food availability, one of the key elements of food security. By calculating national level dietary energy supply and production for nine time steps during 1965-2005 we classify countries based on their food availability, food self-sufficiency and food trade. We also look at how diets have changed during this period with regard to supply of animal based calories. Our results show that food availability has increased substantially both in absolute and relative terms. The percentage of population living in countries with sufficient food supply (>2500 kcal/cap/d) has almost doubled from 33% in 1965 to 61% in 2005. The population living with critically low food supply (<2000 kcal/cap/d) has dropped from 52% to 3%. Largest improvements are seen in the MENA region, Latin America, China and Southeast Asia. Besides, the composition of diets has changed considerably within the study period: the world population living with high supply of animal source food (>15% of dietary energy supply) increased from 33% to over 50%. While food supply has increased globally, food self-sufficiency (domestic production>2500 kcal/cap/d) has not changed remarkably. In the beginning of the study period insufficient domestic production meant insufficient food supply, but in recent years the deficit has been increasingly compensated by rising food imports. This highlights the growing importance of food trade, either for food supply in importing countries or as a source of income for exporters. Our results provide a basis for understanding past global food system dynamics which, in turn, can benefit research on future food security.
The Energetic Value of Land-Based Foods in Western Hudson Bay and Their Potential to Alleviate Energy Deficits of Starving Adult Male Polar Bears
Climate change is predicted to expand the ice-free season in western Hudson Bay and when it grows to 180 days, 28-48% of adult male polar bears are projected to starve unless nutritional deficits can be offset by foods consumed on land. We updated a dynamic energy budget model developed by Molnar et al. to allow influx of additional energy from novel terrestrial foods (lesser snow geese, eggs, caribou) that polar bears currently consume as part of a mixed diet while on land. We calculated the units of each prey, alone and in combination, needed to alleviate these lethal energy deficits under conditions of resting or limited movement (2 km d-1) prior to starvation. We further considered the total energy available from each sex and age class of each animal prey over the period they would overlap land-bound polar bears and calculated the maximum number of starving adult males that could be sustained on each food during the ice-free season. Our results suggest that the net energy from land-based food, after subtracting costs of limited movement to obtain it, could eliminate all projected nutritional deficits of starving adult male polar bears and likely other demographic groups as well. The hunting tactics employed, success rates as well as behavior and abundance of each prey will determine the realized energetic values for individual polar bears. Although climate change may cause a phenological mismatch between polar bears and their historical ice-based prey, it may simultaneously yield a new match with certain land-based foods. If polar bears can transition their foraging behavior to effectively exploit these resources, predictions for starvation-related mortality may be overestimated for western Hudson Bay. We also discuss potential complications with stable-carbon isotope studies to evaluate utilization of land-based foods by polar bears including metabolic effects of capture-related stress and consuming a mixed diet.
Increasing homogeneity in global food supplies and the implications for food security
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
- Published over 6 years ago
- Discuss
The narrowing of diversity in crop species contributing to the world's food supplies has been considered a potential threat to food security. However, changes in this diversity have not been quantified globally. We assess trends over the past 50 y in the richness, abundance, and composition of crop species in national food supplies worldwide. Over this period, national per capita food supplies expanded in total quantities of food calories, protein, fat, and weight, with increased proportions of those quantities sourcing from energy-dense foods. At the same time the number of measured crop commodities contributing to national food supplies increased, the relative contribution of these commodities within these supplies became more even, and the dominance of the most significant commodities decreased. As a consequence, national food supplies worldwide became more similar in composition, correlated particularly with an increased supply of a number of globally important cereal and oil crops, and a decline of other cereal, oil, and starchy root species. The increase in homogeneity worldwide portends the establishment of a global standard food supply, which is relatively species-rich in regard to measured crops at the national level, but species-poor globally. These changes in food supplies heighten interdependence among countries in regard to availability and access to these food sources and the genetic resources supporting their production, and give further urgency to nutrition development priorities aimed at bolstering food security.
The Great Irish Famine: Identifying Starvation in the Tissues of Victims Using Stable Isotope Analysis of Bone and Incremental Dentine Collagen
The major components of human diet both past and present may be estimated by measuring the carbon and nitrogen isotope ratios (δ13C and δ15N) of the collagenous proteins in bone and tooth dentine. However, the results from these two tissues differ substantially: bone collagen records a multi-year average whilst primary dentine records and retains time-bound isotope ratios deriving from the period of tooth development. Recent studies harnessing a sub-annual temporal sampling resolution have shed new light on the individual dietary histories of our ancestors by identifying unexpected radical short-term dietary changes, the duration of breastfeeding and migration where dietary change occurs, and by raising questions regarding factors other than diet that may impact on δ13C and δ15N values. Here we show that the dentine δ13C and δ15N profiles of workhouse inmates dating from the Great Irish Famine of the 19th century not only record the expected dietary change from C3 potatoes to C4 maize, but when used together they also document prolonged nutritional and other physiological stress resulting from insufficient sustenance. In the adults, the influence of the maize-based diet is seen in the δ13C difference between dentine (formed in childhood) and rib (representing an average from the last few years of life). The demonstrated effects of stress on the δ13C and δ15N values will have an impact on the interpretations of diet in past populations even in slow-turnover tissues such as compact bone. This technique also has applicability in the investigation of modern children subject to nutritional distress where hair and nails are unavailable or do not record an adequate period of time.
Childhood Reports of Food Neglect and Impulse Control Problems and Violence in Adulthood
- International journal of environmental research and public health
- Published about 4 years ago
- Discuss
Food insecurity and hunger during childhood are associated with an array of developmental problems in multiple domains, including impulse control problems and violence. Unfortunately, extant research is based primarily on small convenience samples and an epidemiological assessment of the hunger-violence link is lacking. The current study employed data from Wave 1 (2001-2002) and Wave 2 (2004-2005) of the National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions (NESARC). The NESARC is a nationally representative sample of non-institutionalized U.S. residents aged 18 years and older. Participants who experienced frequent hunger during childhood had significantly greater impulsivity, worse self-control, and greater involvement in several forms of interpersonal violence. These effects were stronger among whites, Hispanics, and males. The findings support general theoretical models implicating impulse control problems as a key correlate of crime and violence and add another facet to the importance of ameliorating food neglect in the United States.
The world's road to water scarcity: shortage and stress in the 20th century and pathways towards sustainability
- Scientific reports
- Published over 3 years ago
- Discuss
Water scarcity is a rapidly growing concern around the globe, but little is known about how it has developed over time. This study provides a first assessment of continuous sub-national trajectories of blue water consumption, renewable freshwater availability, and water scarcity for the entire 20(th) century. Water scarcity is analysed using the fundamental concepts of shortage (impacts due to low availability per capita) and stress (impacts due to high consumption relative to availability) which indicate difficulties in satisfying the needs of a population and overuse of resources respectively. While water consumption increased fourfold within the study period, the population under water scarcity increased from 0.24 billion (14% of global population) in the 1900s to 3.8 billion (58%) in the 2000s. Nearly all sub-national trajectories show an increasing trend in water scarcity. The concept of scarcity trajectory archetypes and shapes is introduced to characterize the historical development of water scarcity and suggest measures for alleviating water scarcity and increasing sustainability. Linking the scarcity trajectories to other datasets may help further deepen understanding of how trajectories relate to historical and future drivers, and hence help tackle these evolving challenges.
Exhaustion Of Food Budgets At Month's End And Hospital Admissions For Hypoglycemia
- Health affairs (Project Hope)
- Published over 6 years ago
- Discuss
One in seven US households cannot reliably afford food. Food budgets are more frequently exhausted at the end of a month than at other points in time. We postulated that this monthly pattern influenced health outcomes, such as risk for hypoglycemia among people with diabetes. Using administrative data on inpatient admissions in California for 2000-08, we found that admissions for hypoglycemia were more common in the low-income than the high-income population (270 versus 200 admissions per 100,000). Risk for hypoglycemia admission increased 27 percent in the last week of the month compared to the first week in the low-income population, but we observed no similar temporal variation in the high-income population. These findings suggest that exhaustion of food budgets might be an important driver of health inequities. Policy solutions to improve stable access to nutrition in low-income populations and raise awareness of the health risks of food insecurity might be warranted.

You say trojans cant tank fires no more. Okay so Ninjas last longer? Basic glance of ninja head and armour to tros armour and ears (i know tros who usually go ears than coronet) and magic def is a diff of 1%. Yea 1% can mean a lot but as far as I know m-def is still capped so that ninja's ass is still gonna fry.
I do believe things have changed. Doesnt mean trojans are useless. People still all starry eyed watching ninjas but I am quite sure the true trojans still pwning ninja ass, despite what you believe.

This module allows students to combine their knowledge of the phonetics of a modern language obtained through their studies so far with what they have learnt as part of their degree programme in linguistics.
The main aims of the module are:
Students should know how to describe accurately and in the technical terms of the International Phonetic Alphabet and phonetic literature aspects of the phonetics of their target language. They should be able to reflect on the way that sounds in the target language are produced, and be able to describe and transcribe these sounds. They should be familiar with basic texts on phonetics in the target language in order to understand how the phonetic system of the language works.
Students should also be able to produce natural-sounding speech in the target language, which has the features of native speech. For example, in French, the plosives will be appropriately voiceless and unaspirated or fully voiced; for German, glottal stops will be produced in the onset of vowel-initial words; for Spanish, stops will be lenited in the appropriate contexts. Vowel qualities will be near-native. Other features of the speech, such as intonation, rhythm, and tempo, will also be close to native. In order to achieve this, students will need to develop skills in phonetic production, and receive feedback on their pronunciation from a native speaker of the target language.
Students will develop their skills of independent working, to compile a portfolio of work.
This module will be capped at 35.
Students must have successfully completed:
We recommend students take L16H Articulatory and impressionistic phonetics, since the skills acquired on that module are directly relevant to this module.
Four one-hour workshops in the spring term working on the portfolio. Independent study between workshops will be required. Two one-to-one tutorials with staff members in the summer term.
There are six compulsory contact hours for this module. Four of these, in the spring term, will be in workshops with language staff and a phonetician. In the summer term, there will be one contact hour with a member of the language staff team, and one contact hour with a phonetician.
In addition, if you are not already taking the module, you will be required to attend some of the ear-training classes of Articulatory and Impressionistic Phonetics. You may also audit some or all parts of other phonetics modules.
The summative assessment for this module is a portfolio of work containing the following:
You will be provided with further instructions on the content of the self-reflective piece at the start of the spring term.
The portfolio will be assessed by a native speaker of the language and by a phonetician, and they will agree a mark. Each part (1), (2) and (3) counts equally to the overall mark for the portfolio.
All modules provide an opportunity to work on general oral/written communication skills (in class and in assessments) and general self management (organising your studies), alongside the specific skills in language or linguistics that the module teaches.
In addition, this module will allow you to particularly develop skills in self-management. This module allows you to work largely independently, with detailed input from staff with expertise in two areas (phonetics/language skills), requiring you to incorporate feedback from two sources into your final work.
Follow this link to hear how past students use transferable skills from their degree in their current jobs.

Teams of students receive identical product design specifications, a sample unit of the product, and a series of assignment questions that entail time and motion studies, which they must both understand and perform before class discussion. In class, teams explain how they conducted time studies and sort out differences in procedures. They then make business decisions like hiring and staffing in light of remaining differences in time standards across teams. The class also includes an experiment in which student volunteers actually produce the product to assess the effect of division of labor and brainstorm concrete cost reduction ideas, principally those based on methods improvement.
