Prince Constantin Jean Lars Anthony Démétrius Karadja (November 24, 1889, The Hague – December 28, 1950, Bucharest) was a Romanian diplomat, jurist, bibliographer, bibliophile and honorific member (1946) of the Romanian Academy. He descends from a highly aristocratic family with Byzantine roots of Constantinople with rulers of Wallachia in the 18th and 19th century and has been recognized as a Righteous among the Nations

Occam's Razor cuts the zebras

Zebra is a medical slang term for an obscure and unlikely diagnosis from ordinary symptoms.

It derives from the aphorism "When you hear hoofbeats, think horses, not zebras", which was probably coined by Dr. Theodore Woodward, a former professor at the University of Maryland, Baltimore, School of Medicine.

This is crazy.

Achron is the first game to feature single-player and multiplayer free-form time travel. It is the world's first meta-time strategy game, a real-time strategy game where players and units can jump to and play at different times simultaneously and independently.

You can undo your mistakes, change your strategy after committing to it, preview the future, freeze time to perfectly coordinate attacks, and send entire fleets through time to when they are needed. However, all of your opponents will also be independently moving across time, attempting to rewrite history in their favor...

But wait, there is more:
The crowd-sourced budget! Achron uses the same path.

This is crazy.

"Ca te-am acceptat ca te-ai futut cu 50 de femei in trecut, e altceva, ca am acceptat ca m-ai inselat, e altceva, dar sa te futi cu un homosexual care a supt pula aurolacilor si care e mai mult decat posibil sa aiba SIDA, e cu totul altceva. Si imi transmiti mie bolile pe care le-ai luat de la ala, baga-ti-ai pula in ma-ta, da-i si ei
putina SIDA ca isi doreste sa moara si ea decat sa suporte o taratura jegoasa ca tine. Homosexualii au SIDA in majorotatea cazurilor, baga-ti-ai pula in creierii tai drogati.
De-aia spuneai ca nu esti 100% hetero, desi ti-au mai supt-o si altii, desi ti-a supt-o si asta de vreo 2 ori, ca tii la adrian si iti place cum ti-o suge. Pe mine nu m-ai ajutat cand am fost disperata, dar el te impresioneaza pana la lacrimi ca e "deprimat". Il pui pe primul plan, in loc sa iti vezi de relatia ta. Te impresioneaza adrian, un
homosexual, ca e "deprimat", dar cand ti-am zis eu ca sunt la pamant si disperata ca eram gravida cu tine, te-ai pisat pe mine, futu-ti mortii ma-tii. De ce pula mea nu ai ramas, ma, in parnaie pe viata, ca e raiul pt tine, ti-o sug aia acolooooo. Si te fut si in cur, de ce nu o incerci si pe asta, s-ar putea sa-ti placa. Stai dracu' inchis,
departe de societate, faci rau tuturor. Faci pe psihologul pulii. Stii ca imi spuneai la mare cand m-ai cerut de nevasta: "logodnica mea, as fi vrut sa iti fac eu rochia". Chiar vorbeam cu Alexica chestia asta si ne amuzam. Poti sa incepi sa ii iei masurile lui adrian. Pt rochie, ca la pula i-ai luat masura."

York is "an author, black supremacist leader, musician, and convicted child molester," Wikipedia tells us, and he built a colorful, Ancient Egyptian-themed instant city on several hundred acres of forest land in the U.S. state of Georgia. When York and his Nuwaubians moved there and began erecting pyramids and obelisks there was much curiosity about the group. However trouble started when the citizens became aware of the fact that York was an ex-Black Panther and a convicted felon and statutory rapist who was preaching the gospel that whites were mutants and were inferior to blacks.

Maybe Instead of Becoming a Vegetarian which we've been wrestling with, we'll just steal a cow and bring it home and let it live with us as a member of our family. We suspect that this is what vegetarians should be doing, rustling cattle, instead of refusing to eat meat which let's face it is sitting on the supermarket shelf and won't reassemble itself back into a live cow if everybody refuses to buy it.

And Paul's like, "Have you ever read Moby Duplex?"

We've also been taking fondue lessons. People think fondue is a simple matter of impaling something and lowering it into a crock pot full of melted cheese. They could not be more wrong. Competitive, Olympics-level fonduing is an art form, which world-class fonduer Bob Chank described as "Akin to macrameing while skiing." We don't get the comparison ourselves, but then we're hardly at the Bob Chank level.

As for the allegations that Chank's guilty of doping, we don't believe them. Sure he's doing things with melted Gouda no man has done before. But that's genius, not steroids.

Life Is So Horrible

But there's no Complaints Department. No place where you can go and say, "This life. It sucks. I want a refund." Basically you're thrust into the world without your permission and without any say in where, when and how you'll be living. You can't negotiate the conditions of your existence. You can't say, "I demand a transfer to the Italian Renaissance."

No, you're stuck and there's not one damn person you can complain to. And it's set up this way for a reason. Just think of the crowd there would be at the Complaints Department. It would be a mob scene. One guy would be like, "I have to wear one of those big shoes!" Another guy would be like, "I share a hovel with large rats!" Yet a third guy would be like, "I want to disco professionally!"

Occasionally you run into a person who is genuinely contented with the circumstances of their existence. They're rarer than naked mole rats, but they're out there. They make things worse for everybody, because they're the ones preaching about how you should be content with your lot in life. Life looks good to them, so it should look good to everybody. You could be neck deep in dirty water and all one of these people would say is, "Looks like great swimming!"

Incidentul a avut loc in momentul in care barbatul efectua un ritual religios care implica o filactera. Filacterele sunt doua cutii mici, de obicei confectionate din piele neagra, legate cu o curea.

In momentul in care a incercat sa foloseasca obiectul religios, barbatul a fost imobilizat de ceilalti pasageri si de echipajul cursei Amsterdam - Detroit.

Tanarul evreu nu a fost arestat si avionul a aterizat fara probleme.

The lake in the painting is the Königssee, the mountain in the back is the Watzmann, Germany's pride and its third highest mountain (opinions differ, tho). The Watzmann has been painted by Caspar David Friedrich, among others. As an ironic act towards romanticism, Pantha Du Prince is not showing the top of the Watzmann and is thus "unmanning the German nation"

In traditional terms, this is hardly a film at all. It's more like a bootlegged YouTube video. Much of the footage is jangled and jarring, some of it is simply black. Often the camera careens wildly and drops to show a racing image of feet scrambling along pavement as the photographer takes flight along with the crowd fleeing the advancing security forces. Some of it is shot from paper sacks and gym bags, and sometimes what we see is just the interior of those bags.

British swimming pools are imposing Muslim dress codes in a move described as divisive by Labour MPs.

on organic tactical warfare

>

the philosophy of urban warfare

The maneuver conducted by units of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) in Nablus in April 2002 was described by its commander, Brigadier General Aviv Kokhavi, as inverse geometry, the reorganization of the urban syntax by means of a series of microtactical actions. During the battle, soldiers moved within the city across hundred-meter-long “over- ground-tunnels” carved through a dense and contiguous urban fabric. Although several thousand soldiers and several hundred Palestinian guerrilla fighters were maneuvering simultaneously in the city, they were so “saturated” within its fabric that very few would have been visible from an aerial perspective at any given moment. Furthermore, soldiers
used none of the streets, roads, alleys, or courtyards that con-stitute the syntax of the city, and none of the external doors, internal stairwells, and windows that constitute the order of buildings, but rather moved horizontally through party walls, and vertically through holes blasted in ceilings and floors.

"This space that you look at, this room that you look at, is nothing but your interpretation of it. Now, you can stretch the boundaries of your interpretation, but not in an unlimited fashion, after all, it must be bound by physics, as it contains buildings and alleys. The question is, how do you interpret the alley? Do you interpret the alley as a place, like every architect and every town planner does,
to walk through, or do you interpret the alley as a place forbidden to walk through? This depends only on interpretation. We inter- preted the alley as a place forbidden to walk through, and the door as a place forbidden to pass through, and the window as a place forbidden to look through, because a weapon awaits us in the alley, and a booby trap awaits us behind the doors. This is because the enemy interprets space in a traditional, classical manner, and I do not want to obey this interpretation and fall into his traps. Not only do I not want to fall into his traps, I want to surprise him! This is the essence of war. I need to win. I need to emerge from an unexpected place. And this is what we tried to do.[...] I said to my troops, “Friends! This is not a matter of your choice! There is no other way of moving! If until now you were used to moving along roads and sidewalks, forget it! From now on we all walk through walls!”"

Brigadier General Aviv Kokhavi, commander of the Paratrooper Brigade of the Israeli Defense Forces. [In order to put this interview in context, it is important to note that Kokhavi took time off from active service, like many career officers, to earn a university degree. He originally intended to study architecture, but ultimately pursued philosophy]

bicameral vs monocameral

According to Jaynes, ancient people in the bicameral state would experience the world in a manner that has similarities to that of a modern-day schizophrenic. Rather than making conscious evaluations in novel or unexpected situations, the person would hallucinate a voice or "god" giving admonitory advice or commands, and obey these voices without question; one would not be at all conscious of one's own thought processes per se. Others have argued that this state of mind is recreated in members of cults.

As with cocaine in Coca-Cola, lithium was widely marketed as one of a number of patent medicine products popular in the late-19th and early-20th centuries, and was later to evolve into a refreshment beverage.

7 Up was created by Charles Leiper Grigg who launched his St. Louis-based company The Howdy Corporation in 1920. Grigg came up with the formula for a lemon-lime soft drink in 1929. The product, originally named "Bib-Label Lithiated Lemon-Lime Soda", was launched two weeks before the Wall Street Crash of 1929, just when it would be most needed. It contained lithium citrate, a mood-stabilizing drug. It was one of a number of patent medicine products popular in the late-19th and early-20th centuries; they made claims similar to today's health foods. Specifically it was marketed as a hangover cure.

The product's name was soon changed to 7 Up. According to Professor Gary Yu (UCSB) and researchers for the once popular "Uncle John's Bathroom Reader" the name is derived from the atomic mass of Lithium, 7, which was originally one of the key ingredients of the drink (as lithium citrate). Lithium citrate was removed from 7 Up's formula in 1950.
