"Quality of Mercy" is an episode of The Outer Limits television show. It was first broadcast on 16 June 1995 during the rebooted series' first season.
Introduction
Major John Skokes is taken prisoner during an interstellar war and thrown into a dark cell, where he meets an imprisoned female cadet.
Opening narration
Plot
After Skokes is thrown into the cell, he sees his fellow prisoner and, suspicious, questions her about her name, background and unit. Her name is Bree Tristan and she is a cadet. He spots a strange growth on her arm, and she tells him that the alien jailers have been experimenting by grafting samples of their own skin onto her, seemingly in an effort to make her into one of them.
Skokes asks her about the layout of the jail. She tells him that her previous cell-mate was an instructor who they tortured to death, and that there is no way out because the aliens are more intelligent and a hundred times stronger. Skokes tells her how badly the war is going, the outer colonies have been destroyed and that he must get out and back into the fight.
Historically a part of the West Riding of Yorkshire, Bradford rose to prominence during the 19th century as an international centre of textile manufacture, particularly wool. It was a boomtown of the Industrial Revolution, and amongst the earliest industrialised settlements, rapidly becoming the "wool capital of the world". The area's access to a supply of coal, iron ore and soft water facilitated the growth of Bradford's manufacturing base, which, as textile manufacture grew, led to an explosion in population and was a stimulus to civic investment; Bradford has a large amount of listed Victorian architecture including the grand Italianate City Hall.
The Martini is a cocktail made with gin and vermouth, and garnished with an olive or a lemon twist. Over the years, the Martini has become one of the best-known mixed alcoholic beverages. H. L. Mencken called the Martini "the only American invention as perfect as the sonnet" and E. B. White called it "the elixir of quietude".
Preparation
By 1922 the Martini reached its most recognizable form in which London dry gin and dry vermouth are combined at a ratio of 2:1, stirred in a mixing glass with ice cubes, with the optional addition of orange or aromatic bitters, then strained into a chilled cocktail glass. Over time the generally expected garnish became the drinker's choice of a green olive or a twist of lemon peel.
A dry Martini is made with dry, white vermouth. By the Roaring Twenties, it became common to ask for them. Over the course of the century, the amount of vermouth steadily dropped. During the 1930s the ratio was 3:1, and during the 1940s the ratio was 4:1. During the latter part of the 20th century, 6:1, 8:1, 12:1, or even 50:1 or 100:1 Martinis became considered the norm.
Settled in 1823, Bradford was chartered as a city in 1879 and emerged as a wild oil boomtown in the Pennsylvania oil rush in the late 19th century. The area's Pennsylvania Grade crude oil has superior qualities and is free of asphaltic constituents, contains only trace amounts of sulfur and nitrogen, and has excellent characteristics for refining into lubricants. The Bradford & Foster Brook Railway was built in 1876 as one of, if not the first, monorails in America, when Bradford was a booming oil town. World-famous Kendall racing oils were produced in Bradford.
The population peaked at 19,306 in 1930, but at the 2010 census had dropped to 8,770. Two adjoining townships, home to approximately 9,000 people, make the population of Greater Bradford about 18,000. Famous Bradfordians include the opera singer Marilyn Horne, the Hall of Fame baseball player Rube Waddell and the five-time All-Star football player Stew Barber. A famous perpetual motion machine hoax was created in Bradford in 1897 by J.M. Aldrich; it was exposed in the July 1, 1899, issue of the Scientific American magazine, leading to a four-month prison sentence in the county jail.

ISIS videos are sickening. They’re also really effective.
ISIS Propaganda is terrible to most people. But it has been a key component to the group's recruiting success.

All you hypocrites and liars In the temple seeking gain All you senators and lawyers With your motives to explain All you victims and heroes Your petitions to complain All you murderers and martyrs On the fields where you lay slain On the just and unjust alike it doth rain And the quality of mercy is not strained Vengeance and revenge are just two words for pain And the quality of mercy is not strained Did not I crucify my Lord Did not I bind Him in chain Did not I three times betray Him Three times deny His name Did not I cast the first stone And then justify the blame Did not He die for my sins But never would I do the same I've been three times a sinner and two times a saint And the quality of mercy is not strained Love, if it's love, is changing but unchanged
