    Bely Gorod

    0 Comments Published November 18th, 2007 in Uncategorized

    Bely Gorod (; “White Town”) is a part of Moscow, Russia. The name comes from the fact that Bely Gorod was surrounded by white stone fortification wall which was built in the end of 15th century and demolished in the end of 17th century. It was replaced by several boulevards, comprising Boulevard Ring.

    Morton’s fork coup

    0 Comments Published November 18th, 2007 in Uncategorized

    A Morton’s Fork Coup is a coup in contract bridge involving the forcing of an opponent to choose between establishing one or more extra tricks in the suit led and losing the opportunity to win a trick in the suit led. It takes its name from the expression Morton’s Fork.



    Example

    South receives the lead of the jack of diamonds against his six-spade contract. It appears that the contract has unavoidable losers in both hearts and clubs. Although an extra winner can be built in diamonds, the discard it provides is not of a losing card.

    However, the contract can be made if South can manage either to discard the hearts from hand or take two heart tricks (thus having two club discards on K and a diamond honor). South plays low from dummy, ruffs, draws trumps, and leads a low heart from hand. If West takes the ace, declarer can unblock hearts, ruff out the ace of diamonds, then discard two clubs on dummy’s winning diamond and king of hearts. If West ducks, declarer again ruffs out the ace of diamonds, but now uses the established winner to discard the queen of hearts, losing only a club.

    Note that declarer must be careful not to play a high diamond on the opening lead, as East could then withhold the ace, forcing the declarer to choose a discard prematurely.

    Heimlich Menudo

    0 Comments Published November 18th, 2007 in Uncategorized

    Heimlich Menudo is a fictional anthropomorphic leopard villain in the animated television series Tale Spin. He appears in the episode Vowel Play. His name is a pun on the Heimlich Maneuver, a name he also chose for his master plan to steal all the diamonds in Cape Suzette (see below). He was voiced by Kenneth Mars.

    Menudo was a gangster with an Italian accent who loved diamonds above all else, to the point that he had all his teeth removed and replaced with diamond ones, so that when he smiled he had a glittering grin. He wanted all the diamonds in Cape Suzette, and to this end he had his henchman Weazel (whose name must not be pronounced weasel, but “wee-zell”), trick Higher For Hire into skywriting secret messages to all of Heimlich’s henchmen throughout the city in a grand scheme he called the Heimlich Maneuver.

    The Heimlich Maneuver involved holding Cape Suzette hostage with a fleet of hydrogen blimps and forcing the citizens to hand over all of their diamonds to Menudo, or else the blimps would bomb the city. Menudo was able to keep in contact with the blimp crews (or so he thought) through skywriting secret messages.

    Baloo got wind of Heimlich’s plans thanks to Detective Thursday, and, despite his poor spelling, managed to write fake messages to fool the gangsters. Both Heimlich and Weazel were arrested by the police after their helicopter equipped with a diamond-tipped ramming nosecone crashed into the bay.

    In a humorous turn, Menudo at one point accidentially starts choking on a diamond in front of an oblivious Weazel while both are in his office. However, Menudo manages to perform the Heimlich Maneuver on himself.

    The Torch is a mixed drink created by putting three parts orange soda over ice and quickly adding one part Grenadine syrup, which causes the drink to be red at the bottom shading to orange at the top, hence the name. It is widely considered to have a questionable flavour, though its appearance is considered quite intriguing.

    The Curse of Scotland

    0 Comments Published November 18th, 2007 in Uncategorized

    The curse of Scotland, also known as the Scourge of Scotland, is a term used in poker, bridge and various other card games for the nine of diamonds. The exact origins of the term is disputed but several theories exists.

    The most common story is that the term arose after the Massacre of Glencoe due to a resemblance in the playing card and Sir John Dalrymple coat of arms. Another story is that the order for no quarter at the Battle of Culloden written on a nine of diamonds by the Duke of Cumberland. However, the term is first recorded in 1710, which definitely rules out any connection with Culloden, but does fit a possible connection with Glencoe. Another story is that Mary Queen of Scots death warrant was signed on the nine of diamonds by Elizabeth I.

    Other less popular theories include the term deriving from a tax levied to pay for nine diamonds stolen from the crown of Scotland or that the term is a mispronunciation of “The Cross of Scotland” due to a resemblance in the patterns of St. Andrew’s Saltire and the playing card.

    A plausible but mundane explanation is that the term comes from a card game “Pope Joan” (first mentioned in 1732) where the nine of diamonds is called the “Pope”. As Scotland has traditionally been a strongly Protestant country the Pope would be in a sense its curse.

    Elisha Mitchell (August 19, 1793 - June 27, 1857) was born in Washington, Connecticut. As a professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, in 1835, he measured the height of Mt. Mitchell. Mt. Mitchell is the highest point east of the Mississippi River. It is located in North Carolina and is 6,684 feet (2,037 m) high. Elisha Mitchell fell to his death at nearby Mitchell Falls in 1857, having returned to verify his earlier measurements. In 1881-82 the U.S. Geological Survey upheld Mitchell’s measurement of the highest peak in the eastern US and officially named it Mount Mitchell.

    The Journal of the Elisha Mitchell Scientific Society, published by the North Carolina Academy of Science, was founded in his honor in 1883.

    Funky Koval

    0 Comments Published November 18th, 2007 in Uncategorized

    Funky Koval is a 3-part Polish science fiction/detective story/political fiction genre comic book published in People’s Republic of Poland in the 1980s. It gained a cult following and is still recognized as one of the best Polish comics.

    Contents



    History

    The scenario for the comic was created by Maciej Parowski and Jacek Rodek; the drawings were done by Bogusław Polch. It was first published in November 1982 on four black and white pages in the second issue of Fantastyka, Polish sci-fi magazine. The first episodes were more of the ‘comic short story’ format, and have generated both much praise and critique among the readers. Later, the comic moved from short story format to more lengthy, novel-like plots. It should be noted that plot-wise the series has never ended.

    With the release of the ‘Komiks-Fantastyka’ series in 1987 comics were moved rereleased in this comic spin-off, and Koval was soon released in 3 albums (”Bez oddechu” (Without a breath), “Sam przeciw wszystkim” (Alone against everyone), “Wbrew sobie” (Against oneself)). The first album, Bez oddechu, contained collected stories published earlier (1982-1983), reprinted in Fantastyka, colored and with some additional panels to allow more seamingless transition between various stories. The second collected the 1985 more novel-like story; the third - the 1991-1992 story. All comics first debuted in ‘Fantastyka’ and were later released as color albums.

    In 2002 it was reprinted again in a mega-album “Klasyka Polskiego Komiksu - Funky Koval”, it also contained the beginning of the fourth series - “Bez litosci” (Without mercy). Gossip and semi-official promises about that new parts of the comics have been circulating for many years, but no official announcement have been made so far if and when it will be actually released.



    Art

    Notable feature of the comic is art of Bogusław Polch, known for his unique style and minute attention to details. He was known to put much more details into his drawings that could be actually printed in the comics; many of his panels are rich with tiny details - for example, in one panel showing Koval’s room the reader can see names of the books and magazines on his bookshelf (they include works by Philip K. Dick, Stanislaw Lem and the ‘Fantastyka’ magazine). Many gadgets have logos of known companies (such as Sharp and Sony), and their characteristics shapes - of videophones, guns, spaceships or flying cars - are also one of the trademarks of that comic book.

    The art in the third series is different from that in the first two: in the third series Polch experimented with more simple style, sometimes bordering on caricatures. This change proved to be a disappointment to some fans used to his earlier, more detailed and realistic style.



    Story

    The plot resolves around the figure of former military pilot and now space detective, Funky Koval, who with his friends and colleagues from private detective agency “Universs” solves various cases in the futuristic world of 2080s. His investigations will range from corruption in the police and government, through fighting cultists and terrorists, investigating missing spaceships and illegal slave camps, to the mystery of the Drolls aliens, who seem to have a much more advanced technology than the humans, and whose plans for the humanity - if any - remain a mystery.



    Cultural impact

    This comic book gained a cult following in Poland, partially due to the high quality of drawings and plot, and partially due to many subtle connections with the real world of the 1980s Poland (martial law in Poland, Jerzy Urban, Polish Round Table Agreement). Although some of those elements are no longer easily read by modern audience, the comic is still seen as one of the best Polish sci-fi works, and has influenced several more recent works.

    George J. Capewell (1843-1919) was born on June 26, 1843, in Birmingham, England. He was educated in Woodbury, Connecticut and went to work at fifteen for Scoville in Waterbury, Connecticut. At twenty he was Mechanical Superintendent of Cheshire Manufacturing Company.

    In 1870 he founded a business, manufacturing specialties of his own invention. In the centennial year of 1876, he began his major life work, the invention of an automatic process to produce horse nails. After years of frustration, failure, and the loss of thousands of dollars, a perfected machine was exhibited to investors in Hartford, Connecticut in the fall of 1880. In 1881, George J. Capewell formed the Capewell Horsenail Company in Hartford, Connecticut.

    A 1900 article reported that “Mr. Capewell’s tenacity of purpose has brought him to the top and it is Hartford’s boast that he is one of the men who has done much toward making the city known the world over.” He died on November 6, 1919.

    Presently, the company continues to manufacture nails in Bloomfield, Connecticut on machines designed by George Capewell.

    Kimberly is a ghost town south of Murfreesboro, Arkansas. The town grew up near John Huddleston’s diamond mine. Kimberly had a population of over 2,000 people. Wooden frame houses were built, some were made into stores, and other businesses. A bank, hotel, and other stores were also built here.

    Kimberly was founded after John Huddleston found diamonds on his property. When prospectors came to find diamonds, real estate companies built homes for the prospectors, stores later came. Kimberly was named after Kimberly Diamond Mine in South Africa. Later population declined as people moved to other areas, such as Murfreesboro.

    Huddleston’s diamond mine is now part of Crater of Diamonds State Park, where tourists can search for diamonds and keep any they find.

    Eros and Agape

    0 Comments Published November 18th, 2007 in Uncategorized

    Eros and Agape ISBN 0-8446-6051-5) is the title of a two-volume treatise written by the Swedish theologian Anders Nygren, first published in Swedish in 1930-1936. It analyses the connotations of two Greek words for love, eros (sexual love)and agape (unconditional love), and concludes that agape is the only truly Christian kind of love, and that eros (an expression of the individual’s desires) turns us away from God. This may be contrasted with the conclusions of Pope Benedict XVI in his first encyclical, Deus Caritas Est, that both eros and agape are aspects of divine love.

    It is more accurate to use “eros” as Nygren used it: transcendent acquisitive and/or philosophical love.

    The only human character in the show is Mr Mopple (played by Chris Jarvis), a groundsman.

    Whilst doing his jobs, Mr Mopple invariably hears a noise from the house which tells him there must be a story to be told.

    Inside the house are the non-human characters:

    • Twinkle, a cat
    • Boris, a bookshelf
    • Chloe, a clock

    These characters often argue between themselves before Mr Mopple sits down to tell a story.

    Contents



    Transforming

    For Sakuya to change into Garren, he has to insert the sealed Ace of Diamonds (Category Ace: Change Stag) card and position his buckle in front of his waist. The belt would then expand automatically around his waist, like a deck of cards wrapping around. Sakuya makes an arm motion, clinches his fist and yells out and flips a portion of his buckle. The buckle would announce “Turn Up!” at this point. This would also cause a blue projection with a stag beetle image to come out before him,knocking undeads away(if there are any). All he has to do now, is to run into the projection, which will complete the transformation into Garren.

    Awakening (The Outer Limits)

    0 Comments Published November 18th, 2007 in Uncategorized

    “Awakening” is an episode of The Outer Limits television show. It first aired on 14 March, 1997, during the third season.

    Contents



    Introduction

    Beth Carter suffers from a condition known as alexithymia — she cannot feel emotions or understand their effects on others. A revolutionary brain implant changes this, and for the first time she experiences the world the same way as everyone else: Friendship, attraction, happiness and even fear.

    When she begins to have strange experiences, she realizes that something is wrong.



    Opening narration

    “It is said that emotions are the language of the soul. But what happens when that expression is muted? What becomes of feelings… that have no voice?”



    Plot

    Beth begins to hear voices, and even sees space aliens who make experiments on her. The doctors suspect that this is a result of the implant and want to remove it.

    Beth escapes from the hospital and returns to the house where she was before. She discovers a secret room with space alien props. Two people get into the room and reveal that it was all a big show to discredit the implant as a favor for a competing company. Beth is hiding and hears all. Beth comes out and kills the two by pushing them out of a window. Then at the end she has the implant removed by a court decree. Days later at home she is stroking her cat and makes a small smile on her face.



    Closing narration

    “Errant computers can be reprogrammed, imperfect machines redesigned… but human beings are another matter.”

    Pattern mining

    0 Comments Published November 17th, 2007 in Uncategorized

    Pattern mining is the task of finding existing patterns in data. In this context patterns often means association rules. The original motivation for searching association rules came from the need to analyze supermarket transaction data, that is, to examine customer behaviour in terms of the purchased products. For example, an association rule “beer => chips (80%)” states that four out of five customers that bought beer also bought chips.

    Vegetotherapy

    0 Comments Published November 17th, 2007 in Uncategorized

    Vegetotherapy is a form of psychotheraphy that involves the physical manifestations of emotions. The basic and founding text of vegetotherapy is Wilhelm Reich’s Psychischer Kontakt und vegetative Stroemung (1935), later included in the enlarged edition of Reich’s Character Analysis (1933, 1949).

    The practice of vegetotherapy involves the analyst asking the patient to physically simulate the bodily effects of strong emotions. This simulation causes the patient to experience the emotions simulated, thus releasing emotions pent up inside both the body and the psyche. The catharsis of emotive expression breaks down the cathexis of stored emotions. While experiencing a simulated emotional state, the patient may reflect on past experiences which should have caused that emotion, but where the emotion has not been fully resolved. These emotions are described as stored emotions, and in Reichian analysis are seen as manifesting in the body. Vegetotherapy relies of a theory of stored emotions, or affects, where emotions build tensions in the structure of the body. This tension can be seen in posture, facial expression or muscular stress.

    Examples of vegetotherapy and interviews with analysts and patients who have undergone vegetotherapy, can be seen in the film Room for Happiness, directed by Dick Young and approved by the

    American College of Orgonomy.
