How to pronounce “edwin” in English

My favorite example of a business person who is the greatest example of someone who could evolve an idea is a guy named Edwin Land.Edwin Land is the second most prolific, second number of patents of any American ever. Thomas Edison was the first, Edwin Land is the second; 458 patents to his name. He was the inventorof the Polaroid sunglasses, he was the inventor of the Polaroid camera, he was the inventor of the cameras that were held on the U-2 spy planes that were flying over the Soviet Union

Lemony: -- fanfare of doom that I wish I could hear every time I said the word "dead" just in everyday life.Edwin: Hi, everybody. I'm Edwin, the conductor of this book and concert coming up on Sunday and I've been asked to kind of interview these guys.And we all kind of started this project -- I first I kind of -- I guess you guys both worked with me before this project came out.

Daniel: Wow. I'm sorry. My mother has a lot of time on her hands.Edwin: So we knew we needed to move forward and do more, and Nathaniel, who was kind of from the San Francisco Symphony familyhad written this wonderful piece that we performed and then the idea came up for this project to happen.

Daniel: In the hopes of wrecking -- breaking the record for complaints.Edwin: Yeah. Exactly. Daniel: We could outdo ourselves.Edwin: And so we're gonna talk a little bit today about how it works and what makes this project special.

Edwin: Yeah. Exactly. Daniel: We could outdo ourselves.Edwin: And so we're gonna talk a little bit today about how it works and what makes this project special.Apparently, umm, you can answer some questions online Cliff mentioned to me and these are the questions:

And I'm speaking for all of you -- Daniel: So you're encouraged to only pay partial attention.Edwin: Yeah. Edwin: And we're very -- Daniel: That's the Google way.Edwin: Speaking of which, I've never been part of someone's work life balance before so it's really, really nice.

Edwin: Yeah. Edwin: And we're very -- Daniel: That's the Google way.Edwin: Speaking of which, I've never been part of someone's work life balance before so it's really, really nice.Daniel: We're more a part of the work life imbalance, I would think.

Daniel: We're more a part of the work life imbalance, I would think.Edwin: Yeah. I suppose.So this piece -- you know there have been a lot of pieces that were written for -- or some famous ones, "Peter in the Wolf", by Prokofiev,

He said -- so, anyway, that's -- I really wrote it first for the players, umm, second probably for people of our generation who never go to the symphony.Edwin: Which generation are we?Nathaniel: I don't know. Whichever -- Daniel: We're very young.

who never go to the symphony first and then hopefully they bring their kids as well.Edwin: And so how -- you're writing for people who don't go to the symphony what does that mean in are you --are you writing music that they've heard before and kind of integrating to lure them in, or are you writing something you just think they'll like, or --

There's a lot of dance music.Edwin: So what are your techno influences?Nathaniel: Uh, you'd have to -- I don't know what my influences are.

Daniel knows a lot more about my influences probably than I do.Edwin: What are Nat's influences?What are my techno influences?

And so I just thought that if I seduced more people into the world of classical music then maybe I wouldn't be as lonely and wretched as I am now.Edwin: So. Yeah. It's kind of sad.I did kinda the same background.

My dad worked for a record company and my first concert was Alice Cooper or something because -- you still -- Daniel: For those that don't know who she is --Edwin: She's a fantastic -- Daniel: Wonderful soprano.Daniel: School's out for summer.

until I was -- until I was entering teenagerdom.Edwin: Hmm. Daniel: Which is also to be said about background music.There was less of it.

And so I only listened to classical music and then came into pop.Edwin: Yeah. Daniel: There's still big swaths of pop music I'm ignorant of 'cause my parents didn't listen to it. Neil Diamond, Barbara Streisand,I don't know -- I couldn't name -- yeah.

I mean -- I.Edwin: So you're obsessed for instance with the Umbrella Song, Rihanna -- Nathaniel: Yeah. It's fantastic.

I mean -- I.Edwin: And did that make its way, some of this Britney and Rihanna, into your -- Nathaniel: I don't know. Well, you asked earlier about my influences

I mean -- I.Edwin: Mm hmm. So -- Daniel: Do you want me to get your questions that you dropped?

I mean -- I.Edwin: No. That's just my rundown. Daniel: All right.

I mean -- I.Edwin: So what would you like to -- Daniel: I felt bad for you when it dropped.

I mean -- I.Edwin: -- in fact it takes more time -- it's actually quite difficult to pull off.

I mean -- I.Edwin: That could be lonelier than being a classical musician, talking to puppets.

I mean -- I.Edwin: Well, I'd like to -- Daniel: So I hardly ever call him.

I mean -- I.Edwin: I wanna talk about one specific part of this piece 'cause we're coming to the end of this interview segment, even though I dropped my sheet of paper I do remember that.

I mean -- I.Edwin: Did we ever practice this?

I mean -- I.Edwin: That was great.

I mean -- I.Edwin: Well, it's even better live and it's what, this Saturday at three -- Daniel: At the Flint Center -- Edwin: -- so we invite you all to come.

I mean -- I.Edwin: I had a violin.

I mean -- I.Edwin: I don't know.

he hasn't finished it up because of COVID, actually.Next question-- Edwin asks, are there types of food to eat or not eat post-fast?

Now the first medical records were from Egypt.This is the Edwin Smith papyrus.It records back to 1,500 BC, thought to contain information that goes back 3,000 BC.

evolving it. And that was the history really of the Polaroid camera that for decades was this incredible success.Well even Edwin Land as brilliant as he was could not have anticipated the arrival of the digital revolution which spelled the end of Polaroid. So Polaroid sadly, such a greatexample of one time a great industrial company, in about the year 2001 finally went bankrupt.

real despair of the the depression was already a thing of the past.Here's the way Edwin Whit, the chief of the drafting team for Social Security, told Congress when it was considering

to the order that I used in the book. So I started off in, uh, California at the Mount Wilson Observatory near Pasadena and, uh, this is where in the 19-- early 1900s Edwin Hubble discovered that the universe was expanding. So if you think back to the early 1900s, our conception of the universe was just the MilkyWay. We had really no idea of whether there were any galaxies and if there were -- if there was anything else outside the Milky Way. And Hubble

corner but I think this is another year of a window of maybe three years where the Blue Jays have enough pitchingenough veteran expertise and even without Edwin can continue to add and make this team a playoff Contender willthey make it I don't no because sometimes you have to tip your cap to the other team they're pretty good too

This is a question, of course, that has both scientific and theological reverberations.The astronomer who settled this issue was Edwin Hubble.An American astronomer. He was a Rhodes Scholar.

And so it's a crazy star.Here is a picture of Edwin Hubble, 1927, the discover of what is now called Hubble's Law.

If we could go to the next slide, please.The story starts of course with Edwin Hubble, who discovered the expansion of the universe.Next, please. He examined galaxies, which are these giant collections of hundreds of billions of stars, gravitationally bound together.

during the Cold War, he invented incessantly.And what everyone who knew Edwin Land would say is the way he worked is he would lock himself in a room; he would go without eating for three of four days; he would be one ofthose people like Steve Jobs in a way, that someone would have to bring food and remind them, "You've gotta get back, you can't just work on your product all the time." But he

This performance of the words and music was commissioned by the San Francisco Symphony.The premier performances were conducted by conductor Edwin Outwater, and this mighty triumvirate is back for us now to reprise that performance,but on a very special occasion now that HarperCollins has issued the book "The Composer is Dead" along with the CD with the music,

I mean -- I.Daniel: That didn't seem -- Edwin: Daniel: That didn't seem feasible either and then I met these puppeteers and actually can make him communicate through the world of music

I mean -- I.That's why I made some textural -- Edwin: Yeah, I noticed that. Daniel: -- changes so as not to, umm, give away the end of the episode of "Murder She Wrote" before we reached it.

then 40 and then kids and then I start to, you know, change and maybe at some deeper level we are making a certain setabout 19 uh call it 29 or so Edwin
