Keep Calm and Carry On 00:09 In the spring of 1939 during the buildup to war with Germany, the British government commissioned a series of propaganda posters. These posters were intended to offer the public reassurance in the dark days that lay ahead. They were required to be uniform in style and were to feature a special and handsome typeface making them difficult for the enemy to counterfeit. They used the crown of King George VI as the only graphic device and had just two colors. 00:32 Of the three final designs that went into production, the first poster carried the slogan, “Your Courage, Your Cheerfulness, Your Resolution will Bring Us Victory.” The second poster had the words “Freedom is in Peril; Defend it with All Your Might.” But the third design, of which over two and a half million posters were printed, simply read, “Keep Calm and Carry On.” 00:54 The first two designs were distributed in September of 1939 and appeared up and down the country in shop windows and railway platforms. But the “Keep Calm” posters were held in reserve; intended for use only in times of crisis or invasion. In the end, the poster was never officially issued and it remained unseen by the public until a copy turned up more than 50 years later. It was found in a second- hand bookshop called Barter Books in the northeast corner of England. 01:38 Barter Books was begun in 1991 by a couple, Stewart and Mary Manley. The building used to be an old, Victorian railway station. Huge rows of stack shelves now stand in the place where the tracks would have been. But the station’s old tearooms and waiting rooms are still there. It was in 2000 that Stewart found the poster in a box of dusty, old books that had been bought at auction. Mary liked it so much, she had it framed and put it up near the shop till. And it proved so popular with the customers that a year later they began to sell copies. 02:06 Since that time, the poster has been reproduced, parodied and trivialized and has become a truly iconic image of the 21st Century. It is hard to say exactly why such a phrase from a bygone decade would have so much appeal and resonance now. Its design’s considered simple and timeless and now commonly recognizable. 02:24 However, it is perhaps the words on the poster that people find most enchanting. Like a voice out of history, it offers a very simple, warm-hearted message to inspire confidence in others during difficult times. And it’s something that should never fade from fashion—to keep calm, and carry on. Buildup to: preparations for Commissioned: ordered, arranged for, authorized Propaganda: information, ideas or rumors that are told to the population to influence their thinking Offer reassurance: give reassurance, allay fears, reduce anxiety, make the people calm Lay ahead: were coming, were on the horizon Typeface: font Counterfeit: copy, forge, fake Peril: danger, risk Up and down the country: all over the country, throughout the country, everywhere in Great Britain Victorian: something from the Victorian era in England (20 June 1837 until her death on 22 January 1901 Shop till: cash register A bygone decade: a time so long ago, an era that was a very long tim Timeless: something that never “grows old”...Rolex watches, Coca Cola, the movie Titanic, the song “Sounds of Silence” by Simon and Garfunk

The Bay of Lights 00:08 I'm an artist based in New York and I'm working on a project called The Bay of Lights, which is...consists of a light sculpture which is just under 25,000 white LED lights which we're attaching to the suspender cables of the Bay Bridge. And it's a 1.8-mile expanse of bridge between San Francisco and Treasure Island. 00:25 It's highlighting a part of the bridge of this incredible piece of infrastructure that's so meaningful to so many people here in the Bay Area. But it's bringing art, light, technology into the mix. And the other thing, you know, is that it's site-specific. It's made specifically for this location. So I've been sitting out here for over a month working on the sequencing and the programs and fine-tuning it. But this is an abstract artwork. It's not a light show. It's something kind of new in that it's using very new material, software and LEDs. 01:00 People are attracted to light and I think they'll respond in whatever way. If they know something about the history of art; light sculpture...they might be into that, or technology or algorithms or, you know, programming. So, I think it will touch on a lot of the things that are kind of key in the Bay Area. 01:17 We've been testing and debugging, so everyone's been kind of watching the process for several weeks now. But we're launching this piece on March 5 at 9 o'clock. And there'll be a lot of jubilation when it's finally up and it'll be up for two years. And we're estimating 50 million people will see it so it's really a, a really impactful piece of public art. Highlighting: showcasing Expanse: stretch, length Be into that: be interested in that, be intrigued by that Jubilation: excitement, happiness, joy

00:03 GEORGE: I can't believe this. JERRY: Oh, it won't be for that long. GEORGE: How could I do this? How could I move back in with those people? Please, tell me. They're insane. You know that. 00:11 JERRY: Hey, my parents are just as crazy as your parents. GEORGE: How can you compare your parents to my parents?! JERRY: My father has never thrown anything out. Ever! GEORGE: My father wears his sneakers in the pool! Sneakers! 00:26 JERRY: My mother has never set foot in a natural body of water. GEORGE:Listen carefully. My mother has never laughed. Ever. Not a giggle, not a chuckle, not a tee-hee. Never went “Ha!” JERRY: Smirk? GEORGE: Maybe! And I'm moving back in there! 00:50 JERRY: I told you I'd lend you the money for the rent. GEORGE: No, no, no, no. Borrowing money from a friend is like having sex. It just completely changes the relationship. (Kramer stumbles in) 00:57 KRAMER: Alright. I'm ready. (To George) You know, I still don't understand; why do you want to move back in with your parents? GEORGE: I don't want to! I'm out of money! I got $714 in the bank. KRAMER: Well, move in here. JERRY: (surprised) What's that? KRAMER: Why doesn't he just move in here? GEORGE: (Sarcastic) Yeah, yeah. I'm gonna move in with him. He doesn't even let you use the toilet! 01:20 KRAMER: You can move in with me, if you want. GEORGE: (Sincerely) Thank you. I, uh, that might not work out.
