The Hitchhiking Game by Milan Kundera (1969)Translated by Suza.docxarnoldmeredith47041
The Hitchhiking Game by Milan Kundera (1969)
Translated by Suzanne Rappaport
The needle on the gas gauge suddenly dipped toward empty and the young driver of the sports car declared that it was maddening how much gas the car ate up. "See that we don't run out of gas again," protested the girl (about twenty-two), and reminded the driver of several places where this had already happened to them. The young man replied that he wasn't worried, because whatever he went through with her had the charm of adventure for him. The girl objected; whenever they had run out of gas on the highway it had, she said, always been an adventure only for her. The young man had hidden and she had had to make ill use of her charms by thumbing a ride and letting herself be driven to the nearest gas station, then thumbing a ride back with a can of gas. The young man asked the girl whether the drivers who had given her a ride had been unpleasant, since she spoke as if her task had been a hardship. She replied (with awkward flirtatiousness) that sometimes they had been very pleasant but that it hadn't done her any good as she had been burdened with the can and had had to leave them before she could get anything going. "Pig," said the young man. The girl protested that she wasn't a pig, but that he really was. God knows how many girls stopped him on the highway, when he was driving the car alone! Still driving, the young man put his arm around the girl's shoulders and kissed her gently on the forehead. He knew that she loved him and that she was jealous. Jealousy isn't a pleasant quality, but if it isn't overdone (and if it's combined with modesty), apart from its inconvenience there's even something touching about it. At least that's what the young man thought. Because he was only twenty-eight, it seemed to him that he was old and knew everything that a man could know about women. In the girl sitting beside him he valued precisely what, until now, he had met with least in women: purity.
The needle was already on empty, when to the right the young man caught sight of a sign, announcing that the station was a quarter of a mile ahead. The girl hardly had time to say how relieved she was before the young man was signaling left and driving into a space in front of the pumps. However, he had to stop a little way off, because beside the pumps was a huge gasoline truck with a large metal tank and a bulky hose, which was refilling the pumps. "We'Il have to wait," said the young man to the girl and got out of the car. "How long will it take?" he shouted to the man in overalls. "Only a moment," replied the attendant, and the young man said:
"I've heard that one before." He wanted to go back and sit in the car, but he saw that the girl had gotten out the other side. "I'll take a little walk in the meantime," she said. "Where to?" the young man asked on purpose, wanting to see the girl's embarrassment. He had known her for a year now but she would still get shy in front of him. He.

The narrator

The fellow passenger
From Rohana to Saharanpur
The man was already aboard when the girl stepped on the train at Rohana. She was escorted by her parents who advised her to not talk to strangers. As she entered she did not even notice the narrator who was pretending to be sighted.
He gradually found enough courage to start a conversation. She was going till Saharanpur where she would be received by her aunt. She enquired the same from the narrator who told her about his visit to Dehradun and Mussoorie.
She sighed as she also loved the hilly tracts of Mussoorie in October. The narrator described the beauty of the hills, rain and flowers as the conversation continued. Pretending to be sighted, he asked the girl to describe the scene outside the train.
She quickly retorted that he should have to look outside himself. He praised her by claiming that her face was interesting. She smiled at the words as she was bored by the usual compliments about her pretty looks.
She claimed that she did not like long train journeys and was glad that her station was arriving soon. The narrator, however, was heartbroken as he wanted the journey with the girl to never end.
Soon the station arrived and as the girl prepared to exit, the narrator had a whiff of the fragrance she was wearing. He was intoxicated and perversely tried to touch her hair, but the girl said her goodbye and disembarked before he could. The new passenger entered and the narrator sat back in his seat, heartbroken and disappointed.
From Saharanpur to Dehradun.
Dejected, the narrator pushed himself toward the window again. The new passenger was a male and he did not realize the narrator’s lack of vision, much like the girl.
He broke the ice and offered his consolation for not being as pretty as the last passenger (the girl). The narrator stuck to his assessment and called her interesting. He asked about her hair but the man said he did not notice her hair.
However, the man dedicated another compliment to her by saying that she was very pretty with beautiful eyes, even though she was blind. This revelation surprised the narrator who thought about the futility of his attempts to hide his blindness in front of another blind person.
The short story “The Eyes Have It”, is an excellent example of situational Irony.
Ironically the author employs two blind people as his main characters, yet neither knows that the other is blind.
The author does not realize that the girl sitting next to him is also blind, even after listening to her parent’s advice and instructions to their daughter.
Hoping to keep her from realizing that he is blind, the author describes the scenery outside from his memories.
To continue the ruse, he tells the girl that an interesting face.

Cathedral
By Raymond Carver (1981)
This blind man, an old friend of my wife’s, he was on his way to
spend the night. His wife had died. So he was visiting the dead wife’s
relatives in Connecticut. He called my wife from his in-law’s. Arrangements
were made. He would come by train, a five-hour trip, and my wife would
meet him at the station. She hadn’t seen him since she worked for him one
summer in Seattle ten years ago. But she and the blind man had kept in
touch. They made tapes and mailed them back and forth. I wasn’t
enthusiastic about his visit. He was no one I knew. And his being blind
bothered me. My idea of blindness came from the movies. In the movies, the
blind moved slowly and never laughed. Sometimes they were led by seeing-
eye dogs. A blind man in my house was not something I looked forward to.
That summer in Seattle she had needed a job. She didn’t have any
money. The man she was going to marry at the end of the summer was in
officers’ training school. He didn’t have any money, either. But she was in
love with the guy, and he was in love with her, etc. She’d seen something in
the paper: HELP WANTED—Reading to Blind Man, and a telephone
number. She phoned and went over, was hired on the spot. She worked with
this blind man all summer. She read stuff to him, case studies, reports, that
sort of thing. She helped him organize his little office in the county social-
service department. They’d become good friends, my wife and the blind
man. On her last day in the office, the blind man asked if he could touch her
face. She agreed to this. She told me he touched his fingers to every part of
her face, her nose—even her neck! She never forgot it. She even tried to
write a poem about it. She was always trying to write a poem. She wrote a
poem or two every year, usually after something really important had
happened to her.
When we first started going out together, she showed me the poem. In
the poem, she recalled his fingers and the way they had moved around over
her face. In the poem, she talked about what she had felt at the time, about
what went through her mind when the blind man touched her nose and lips. I
can remember I didn’t think much of the poem. Of course, I didn’t tell her
that. Maybe I just don’t understand poetry. I admit it’s not the first thing I
reach for when I pick up something to read.
Anyway, this man who’d first enjoyed her favors, this officer-to-be,
he’d been her childhood sweetheart. So okay. I’m saying that at the end of
the summer she let the blind man run his hands over her face, said good-bye

to him, married her childhood etc., who was now a commissioned officer,
and she moved away from Seattle. But they’d keep in touch, she and the
blind man. She made the first contact after a year or so. She called him up
one night from an Air Force base in Alabama. She wanted to talk. They
talked. He asked her to send him a tape and tell him about her life. She did ...

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

3. Summary of story
The Eyes Have It (also known as The Girl on
the Train & The Eyes Are Not Here) is a short
story by Ruskin Bond that was originally
published in Contemporary Indian English
Stories. The narrator of this story, a blind man
whose eyes were sensitive only to light and
darkness, was going to Dehradun by train when
he met a girl and had a chit-chat with her. It
was only after she left and another passenger
came into the compartment that the narrator
realizes the girl was blind.
4. SummaryUp to Rohana, the narrator was alone in the
compartment. A girl boarded towards the compartment
. Her parents bid her goodbye at the station and were
anxious about her well-being and advised her a lot
regarding where to keep her belongings, not to lean out
of the windows and to avoid talking to strangers.
Once the train left the station, the narrator started a
conversation asking if she too was going to Dehra. The
voice startled her as she thought her to be alone in the
compartment. The girl told him that she was going to
Saharanpur where her aunt would come to take her
home. She also envied the narrator as the hills of
Mussoorie, where he was headed to, presented a lovely
sight in October (the present month).
5. After some more chit-chats, the narrator told her, quite
daringly (as he was blind and couldn't have known her
face for sure) that she had an interesting face. She was
happy at this and replied that it was indeed a welcome
deviation from the often repeated phrase: "You have a
pretty face".
Soon it was time for the girl to bid goodbye as the train
arrived at her destination. After her departure, a man
entered the compartment and apologized, as a matter
of fact, for not being as attractive a traveling
companion as his predecessor. When the narrator asked
him if the girl had her hair long or short, he replied
with intrest that he had noticed only her eyes, which
were beautiful but of no use, as she was completely
blind.
6. *I had the compartment to myself up to Rohana,
and then a girl got in . the couple who saw her
off were probably her parents; they seemed
very anxious about her comfort, and the
women gave the girl detailed instructions as to
where to keep her things, when not to lean out
of the windows, and how to avoid speaking to
strangers. They said their good-byes; the train
pulled out of the station.
*
7. As I was totally blind at the time, my eyes
sensitive only to light and darkness, I was unable
to tell what the girl looked like; but I knew she
wore slippers from the way they slapped against
her heels. It would take me some time to discover
something about her looks and perhaps I never
would. But I liked the sound of her voice, and even
the sound of her slippers.
‘ ‘Are you going all the way to Dehra?’ I
asked. I must have been sitting in a dark corner
because my voice started her. She gave a little
exclamation and said,’ I didn’t know anyone else
was here.’
8. Well, it often happens that people with good eyesight
fail to see what is right in front of them. They have too
much to take in, I suppose. Whereas people who
cannot see (or see very little) have to take in only the
essentials, whatever registers most tellingly on their
remaining senses
‘I didn’t if I would be able to prevent her from
discovering that I was blind, I thought. ‘Provided I keep
to my seat, It shouldn’t be too difficult.’
The girl said, ‘I’m getting down at Saharanpur.
My aunt is meeting me threre.’
9. Then I Had better no be too familiar,’ I said. ‘Aunts
are usually formidable creatures.’
‘When are you going?’ she asked.
‘To dehra, and then to Mussoorie.’
‘Oh, how lucky you are, I wish I were going to
Mussoorie. I love the hills. Especially in October.’
‘Yes this is the best time, ‘I said calling on my
memories. The hills are covered with wild dahlias,
the sun is delicious, and at night you can sit in front
of a log-fire and drink a little brandy. Most of the
tourists have gone, and the roads are quite and
almost deserted. Yes October is the best time.’
10. She was silent, and I wondered if my words had
touched her, or whether she thought me a romantic
fool. Then I made a mistake.
‘What is it like?’ I asked.
She seemed to find nothing strange in the
question. Had she noticed already that I could not
see? But her next question removed my doubts.
‘Why don’t you look out the window?’ she asked.
I moved easily along the berth and felt for the
window-ledge. The window was open, and I faced
it, making pretence, of studying the landscape. I
heard the panting of the engine, the rumble of the
wheels, and in my mind’s eye, I could see the
telegraph-posts flashing by.
‘Have you noticed,’ I ventured, that the trees seem
to be moving while we seem to be standing still?
11. ‘That always happens,’ she said. ‘Do you see any animals?
Hardly any animals left in the forests near Dehra.’
I turned from the window and faced the girl, and for a
while we sat in silence.
‘you have an interesting face,’ I remarked. I was
becoming quit daring, but it was a safe remark. Few girls
can resist flattery.
She laughed pleasantly, a clear ringing laugh.
‘It’s nice to be told I have an Interesting face. I am tired
of people telling me I have a pretty face.’
‘Oh, so you do have a pretty face.’ Thought I, and aloud I
said:
‘You are very gallant young man,’ she said. ‘But why are
you so serious?
I thought then, that I would try to laugh for her,’ but the
thought of laughter only made me feel troubled and
lonely.
12. We’ll soon be at your station,’ I said.
‘Thank goodness it’s a short journey. I can bear
to sit in a train for more than two or three
hours.’
Yet I was prepared to sit there for almost any
length of time,
Just to listen to her talking. Her voice had the
sparkle of a mountain stream. As soon as she
left the train, she would forget our brief
encounter; but it would stay with me for the
rest of the journey and for some time after.
The sngine’s whistle shrieked, the
carriage wheels changed their sound and
rhythm.
The girl got up and began to collect her
things. I wondered if she wore her hair in a
burn, or if it was plaited, or if it hung loose
over her shoulders, or if it was cut very short.
13. The train drew slowly into the
station. Outside, there was the shouting of
porters and vendors and a high-pitched
female voice near the carriage door which
must have belonged to the girl’s aunt.
‘Good-bye,’ said the girl.
She was standing very close to me, so
close that the perfume from her hair was
tantalizing. I wanted to raise my hand and
touch her hair,’ but she moved away, and
only the perfume still lingered where she
had stood.
‘You may break, you may shatter the vase if
you will, but the scent of the roses will
linger there still…..
14. There was some confusion in the doorway. A man,
getting into the compartment, stammered an
apology. Then the door banged shut, and the world
was shut out again. I returned to my berth. The
guard blew his whistle and we off. Once again, I had
a game to play with a new fellow- traveler.
The train gathered speed, the wheels took up their
song, the carriage groaned and shook. I found the
window and sat in front of it, staring into the
daylight that was darkness form me. So many things
were happening outside the window. It could be a
fascinating game, guessing what went on out there.
15. The man who had entered the compartment broke
into my reverie. ‘You must be disappointed,’ he
said,’ I’m not as attractive a travelling companion
as the one who just left.’
‘She was an interesting girl,’ I said.’ Can
you tell me –did she keep her hair long or short?’
‘I don’t remember,’ he said, sounding
puzzled.’ it was her eyes I noticed, not her hair.
She had beautiful eyes but they were of no use to
her, she was completely blind. Didn’t you notice?’
