What does the name Baloo means in The Jungle Book?

  • Your name of Baloo has created the desire to focus on the details of your immediate interests to the extent that others consider you to be fussy.
  • You are attracted to, and could excel in, the mechanical or technical fields, such as computers.
  • Instead of establishing the system and order you would like, you are over-particular in some things that matter to you personally but lax and indulgent in other ways.
  • You place great importance on whatever you happen to be interested in, and can be quite thorough and detailed in what you are doing, but find it difficult to be consistent.
  • Although the name Baloo creates the urge to be both logical and technical, we emphasize that it causes an emotional intensity that is hard to control.
  • This name, when combined with the last name, can frustrate happiness, contentment, and success, as well as cause health weaknesses in the elimination and nervous system.

SCRIPTMiss Hannigan

SIDE 1

(MISS HANNIGAN, wearing a bathrobe, flings open her door and, witch-like, stands bathed in white light before ANNIE)

MISS HANNIGAN: Aha! Caught you! (Flings ANNIE to the floor and switches on the hallway light. LIGHTS brighten) Get up. Get up!

ANNIE: (Getting up, warily) Yes, Miss Hannigan.

MISS HANNIGAN: Turn around. (ANNIE doesn't) I said turn around. (ANNIE turns around and MISS HANNIGAN hits her on the backside with a paddle) There! Now, what do you say? What… do… you… say?

ANNIE: (Reluctantly; through her teeth) I love you, Miss Hannigan.

MISS HANNIGAN: Rotten orphan.

ANNIE: (Angrily) I'm not an orphan. My mother and father left a note saying they loved me and they were coming back for me.

MISS HANNIGAN: That was 1922; this is 1933. (Switches on the LIGHT in the dormitory, sticks her head through the door and BLOWS her whistle) Get up! Now, for this one's shenanigans, you'll all get down on your knobby little knees and clean this dump until it shines like the top of the Chrysler Building!

TESSIE: (Starting to cry) But it's four o'clock in the morning.

MISS HANNIGAN: (Laughs cruelly) Get to work.

ANNIE, ORPHANS: Yes, Miss Hannigan

MISS HANNIGAN: Now! (Orphans run for pails and return to front) Why any kid would want to be an orphan, I'll never know.

SCRIPTMr. Warbucks

SIDE 1

WARBUCKS: (OFFSTAGE) Where is everybody? (OLIVER WARBUCKS, trailed by a uniformed CHAUFFEUR, comes bustling in. WARBUCKS is carrying a bulging briefcase and the CHAUFFEUR is carrying two suitcases. WARBUCKS takes off his overcoat and hands it to DRAKE) Hello, everybody.

SERVANTS: Sir.

GRACE: Welcome home, Mr. Warbucks.

WARBUCKS: It's good to be home.

DRAKE: How was your flight from Chicago?

WARBUCKS: Not bad… only took eleven hours. Grace?

GRACE: (Eagerly) Yes, sir?

WARBUCKS: Messages?

GRACE: (consulting a notepad) President Roosevelt wants you to call him at the White House.

WARBUCKS: I'll get back to him tomorrow.

GRACE: (Trying to introduce ANNIE to WARBUCKS) Mr. Warbucks…

WARBUCKS: All right, good to see you all again.

SERVANTS: Sir.

WARBUCKS: Drake, dismiss the staff.

DRAKE: Yes, sir.

(The SERVANTS, not including GRACE, EXIT; WARBUCKS turns to speak to GRACE and, for the first time, notices ANNIE)

WARBUCKS: And, Grace, if you'll get your notebook… Who is that?

GRACE: This is Annie, Mr. Warbucks: the orphan who will be with us for Christmas.

WARBUCKS: That's not a boy. Orphans are boys.

GRACE: I'm sorry, sir, you just said "orphan". So, I chose a girl.

WARBUCKS: Well, I suppose she'll have to do. (Frowningly approaching ANNIE, assessing her) Annie, huh? Annie what?

ANNIE: (Nervously) Oh, I'm just Annie, Mr. Warbucks, sir. I haven't got any last name. I'm sorry I'm not a boy.

WARBUCKS: (Obviously not meaning it) Not at all. I couldn't be happier. Grace, we'll start with the figures on the iron-ore shipments from… Toledo to… (Made uncomfortable by the presence of ANNIE, aside to GRACE) What are we supposed to do with this child?

GRACE: (Aside to WARBUCKS) It is her first night here, sir.

WARBUCKS: (Aside to GRACE) Hmm. (To ANNIE) Well, Annie, I guess we ought to do something special on your first night. (Has an idea) Would you like to go to a movie?

ANNIE: (Checking GRACE to see if this would be all right; GRACE nods "yes") Gosh, Mr. Warbucks, I've never been to one.

WARBUCKS: Then you'll go to the Roxy. And then an ice-cream soda at Rumpelmayer's and a hansom cab ride around Central Park.

ANNIE: Golly!

WARBUCKS: Grace, forget about the dictation for tonight. Instead, you take Annie to the movies.

GRACE: Yes, sir.

ANNIE: (Obviously disappointed about something) Aw, gee.

WARBUCKS: Something the matter, Annie?

ANNIE: It's just that… well… I thought you were going to take me.

WARBUCKS: Oh, no, I'm afraid I'll be far too busy tonight.

ANNIE: Aw, gee.

SIDE 2

WARBUCKS: Ah, finally. (Opening the envelope, taking out a letter, and reading it) Agent Gunderson located the manufacturer of Annie's locket. In Utica, New York.

ANNIE: Oh, boy! (CROSSES to WARBUCKS, excited)

WARBUCKS: Over ninety thousand were made and sold.

ANNIE: Aw, gee.

WARBUCKS: Annie, I'm afraid the F.B.I. doesn't think that there's a chance in a million of tracing your parents through the locket. I'm sorry. (Takes the locket from the envelope and puts it on ANNIE)

ANNIE: (CROSSING to the settee and sitting down dejectedly) That's okay. You did your best. Anyway, I guess a kid can get along without folks. You didn't turn out so bad.

WARBUCKS: Grace?

GRACE: Yes, sir?

WARBUCKS: Do you have those legal papers I gave you the other day?

GRACE: Right here!

WARBUCKS: (CROSSES to the settee with ANNIE and sits)Annie. I want to adopt you.

ANNIE: Adopt me?

WARBUCKS: Yes or no?

ANNIE: If I can't have my real mother and father, there's no one in the world I'd rather have for a father than you, Mr. Warbucks! (They hug. As ANNIE and WARBUCKS embrace, GRACE starts to join them, but then catches herself, realizing that it is their moment, and steps back in embarrassment)

WARBUCKS: (Picking up ANNIE and swinging her around)Annie, this isn't just going to be an adoption, it's going to be a celebration! And you can have anyone in the world you want to come to it. Who would you like?

ANNIE: Well, I guess I'd like Miss Farrell here. And Mr. Drake. And Mrs. Pugh. And, well, everybody here.

WARBUCKS: Drake?

DRAKE: (ENTERING) Yes, sir.

WARBUCKS: Tell the staff to get spiffed up. They're going to be the guests at Annie's adoption party.

DRAKE: Yes, sir! (Skips off for joy)

ANNIE: Oh, and the kids.

WARBUCKS: It'll be way past their bedtime now. But I'll tell you what, we'll have everyone from the Orphanage here tomorrow for a big Christmas party.

ANNIE: Miss Hannigan, too?

WARBUCKS: (Generous) Why not?

SIDE 3

(DRAKE leads in ROOSTER and LILY, in their disguises as RALPH and SHIRLEY MUDGE)

ROOSTER: Excuse us, folks… Shirley, look. There's our Annie.

ANNIE: Who are you?

LILY: Honey, we're your Mom and Dad.

ROOSTER: Mudge is the name. Ralph Mudge. And this here is the wife, Shirley.

LILY: And you're Annie Mudge.

WARBUCKS: Annie Mudge?

LILY: We loved you, Annie, but we had to leave you behind.

GRACE: We've seen a great number of people who've…

ROOSTER: I expect you'll be wantin' proof of who we are. Here's our driver's licenses and Annie's birth certificate. (Takes them out and offers them to GRACE)

GRACE: (Takes the birth certificate and reads) "Baby girl, Name, Ann Elizabeth Mudge, born to Ralph and Shirley Mudge. New York, New York, October 28th, 1922."

ANNIE: October 28th, that's my birthday.

LILY: Ralph, look! Annie's wearin' the locket!

ROOSTER: (To WARBUCKS and GRACE, taking out a piece of locket) When we left Annie at the Orphanage, we left half of a silver locket with her and kept the other half. (Fits it quickly to ANNIE'S LOCKET and then puts it back in his pocket) Yes. It fits perfectly.

LILY: Oh, thank God, Ralph, she's our Annie.

WARBUCKS: Mr. Mudge, what about the money?

ROOSTER: Well, we ain't got much, but we'd glad to give you whatever…

WARBUCKS: You haven't heard that I've offered a certified check for fifty thousand dollars to anyone who can prove they are Annie's parents?

ROOSTER: No, sir. Anyway, we don't want no money.

LILY: On the other hand, Ralph, remember that little pig farm out in New Jersey? With fifty thousand dollars, we could afford to bring Annie up right. In the country.

WARBUCKS: Would you mind if Annie stayed here until tomorrow morning, Christmas? Then you could come back to pick up Annie and the check.

ROOSTER: Whatever you prefer, sir.

LILY: 'Bye, Annie, love.

ROOSTER: Until tomorrow morning, honey. And then you'll be spendin' the rest of your life with us. (As ROOSTER and LILY step back toward the door; ROOSTER bumps into GRACE, as in SCENE SIX) Oops, pardon me, blondie. Merry Christmas.

(Suspicious, GRACE watches as ROOSTER and LILY EXIT STAGE RIGHT. ALL, especially ANNIE, are deeply steeped in gloom)

WARBUCKS: Well… this is…

GRACE: Wonderful news.

WARBUCKS: Drake. Champagne.

DRAKE: Yes, sir.

WARBUCKS: We must celebrate. Because we've just had the most wonderful news in the world. Annie has found her mother and father. I propose a toast. (ALL raise glasses) To Annie Mudge.

GRACE: To Annie Mudge. (ANNIE looks at the glasses, extended in toast, and bolts upstairs and EXITS. GRACE follows ANNIE halfway upstairs)

GRACE: Annie!

WARBUCKS: I've lost her. I've lost Annie.

GRACE: Sir, I have the strangest feeling that I've seen that Mr. Mudge before, that he's not who he says he is.

WARBUCKS: Then I won't give her up 'til we're certain.

GRACE: But how…?

WARBUCKS: I'll find a way! I'll go straight to the top - to the President of the United States. Even if he is a Democrat!

How does Mowgli in the story Mowgli's Brothers come to live with Mother and Father wolf?

Mother Wolf is feeding her cubs when she and Father Wolf hear the tiger Shere Khan attacking some humans. Father Wolf goes to investigate and hears something approaching through the undergrowth. He prepares to spring at the intruder, but as he does so he sees that it is a naked baby boy, or as he calls it, a man's cub. Mother Wolf is curious to see what a man's cub looks like, so Father Wolf picks up the baby and carries him inside. After a moment the hungry baby pushes aside one of Mother Wolf's cubs and begins suckling from her. Mother Wolf is so impressed by the "man-cub's" boldness that she decides to adopt him. Because his body is as hairless as a frog's she calls him "Mowgli", which means "frog" in the wolves' tongue. In order to be accepted by the wolf pack all new cubs must be shown to the pack's leader Akela at the Council Rock and spoken for by two wolves who are not its parents. When Mother and Father Wolf show Mowgli, none of the wolves will speak for him, but Baloo the bear who tutors the wolves does so, and Bagheera the panther, who is a guest at the pack council but not entitled to speak for the man-cub, offers to buy Mowgli's life with a freshly-killed bull. Shere Khan arrives, claiming that the man-cub is his prey, but the pack accepts Bagheera's offer and sends Shere Khan away. And so Mowgli grows up with the wolves and is tutored by Baloo and Bagheera, while Shere Khan bides his time, waiting for an opportunity to kill the man-cub....

Which scientist invented motion detectors?

After much more research the real answer I believe is here:

http://www.patentstorm.us/patents/4703171/fulltext.html

I have found that William Kahl invented the infrared motion sensor for burglar alarms first and then he sent in an application for the infrared light switch motion sensor in 1985. There had been other motion sensor light switches but this specific infrared motion sensor (PIR) is the one that is most used today residentially and in companies as well.
