There was a boy named Carl , too ; as I recall he also wanted to become an entertainer . When he arrived , the company was dominated by foreign soloists ; when he left , it had a complete ensemble comprising mostly native Russians . For instance , a whistleblower program by necessity will have greater depth , scale , and formalization at a multinational company with locations around the world than it will at a small public company with one location . As Mr. Nicolaisen stated in his September statement , we believe that it should be possible to design instruments whose transaction prices would be a reasonable estimate of the fair value of underlying employee share options . Above all , he must be a musician , with impeccable taste . When he heard a voice thus calling to him , he was standing at the door of his box , with a flag in his hand , furled round its short pole . Yep , true . It was the best of times , it was the worst of times , it was the age of wisdom , it was the age of foolishness , it was the epoch of belief , it was the epoch of incredulity , it was the season of Light , it was the season of Darkness , it was the spring of hope , it was the winter of despair , we had everything before us , we had nothing before us , we were all going direct to Heaven , we were all going direct the other way - - in short , the period was so far like the present period , that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received , for good or for evil , in the superlative degree of comparison only . He requires a full 90-degree turnout , and his rules for placement are essentially the same as ours : " Let your body be , in general , erect and perpendicular on your legs .... It is mostly hackwork by unknowns like Adam , Drigo , Minkus , and others of whom nobody outside the ballet world has ever heard . Second , Fokine was an innovative choreographer , who would have been as influential in Russia if he could have prevailed against the entrenched administration of the Russian companies . Another side effect of this commercialism is the decline of ballet as an art , particularly in France , and a gradual refusal , among intellectuals of the time , to take it seriously or to consider it on a par with music , literature , or the other arts .
