# Rex Parker

Michael David Sharp (born November 26, 1969), known by the pseudonym Rex Parker, is an American blogger known for writing about the New York Times crossword puzzle on his blog, Rex Parker Does the NYT Crossword Puzzle. Sharp teaches English at Binghamton University in New York.

## Early life, education, and career

Sharp grew up in Fresno, California. He went to Pomona College as an undergraduate and earned his PhD in English from the University of Michigan in 1999. He became interested in crossword puzzles in his senior year of college in 1990. While in graduate school, he often solved crosswords in free newspapers found in cafés.
Sharp joined the English department of Binghamton University in 1999. He has taught classes on medieval literature, crime fiction, and comic books. He used to teach occasionally at Elmira Correctional Facility.

## Blogging

Sharp began writing about the daily New York Times crossword puzzle as practice for a possible website for a comics course. He writes under a pseudonym—Rex Parker, King of CrossWorld—that was originally a nickname invented during a family trip to Hawaii; his real-life identity was outed in 2007. Five weeks after its inception on September 25, 2006, the blog received hundreds of views when the first puzzles he had written about were reprinted in national syndication. Two years later, there were more than 10,000 daily readers, more than 20,000 in 2012, and 50,000 in 2021. Some readers regularly participate in the blog's comment section, which forms a part of the online crossword community.
Sharp usually solves the Times puzzle in the late evening and writes posts in the morning before going to work. His reviews are known for use of humor and strong opinions. He generally expresses his likes or dislikes of elements such as a puzzle's theme, clues, fill, and fairness. Posts additionally include the puzzle's solution, a difficulty rating, an explanation of the theme (Sunday–Thursday), a "word of the day", and topical pictures and music. In 2008, he invented on his blog the crossword term "natick" (after Natick, Massachusetts) for an "unguessable" square crossed in both directions by proper nouns considered obscure. He has sometimes criticized the Times puzzle on issues of gender and racial representation. Crossword editor Will Shortz has said he has "mixed feelings" about the blog, and the Times's "Wordplay" column has called it "decidedly divisive" for its occasionally caustic tone. Sharp has framed the blog as an effort to treat an ephemeral product as a creative work worthy of criticism.
Sharp has competed in the American Crossword Puzzle Tournament, placing as high as 31st in 2011. He used to test solve puzzles for the Times for some time before 2009. He has constructed several crosswords published in the Times, The Wall Street Journal, and the Los Angeles Times since 2010.
Sharp writes another blog, Pop Sensation, cataloguing his vintage paperback novel collection, begun in March 2007.

# The Elephants

The Elephants (Catalan: Els Elefants) is a 1948 painting by the Catalan surrealist artist Salvador Dalí.

## Background

The elephant is a recurring theme in the works of Dalí, first appearing in his 1944 work Dream Caused by the Flight of a Bee Around a Pomegranate a Second Before Awakening, and also in The Temptation of Saint Anthony and Swans Reflecting Elephants. The Elephants differs from the other paintings in that the animals are the primary focus of the work, with a barren graduated background and lack of other content, where most of Dalí's paintings contain much detail and points of interest (for example Swans Reflecting Elephants which is somewhat better known within Dalí's repertoire than The Elephants). The stork-legged elephant is one of the best-known icons of Dalí's work. Other examples are The space elephant (made of gold and gemstones) that Salvador Dalí designed in 1961 and the homonymous sculpture created in 1980.

## Symbolism

There are various cultural depictions of elephants, where they are often viewed as symbols of strength, dominance and power due to their bulk and weight. Dalí contrasts these typical associations by giving the elephants long, spindly, almost arachnid-like legs, once described as "multijointed, almost invisible legs of desire". Dalí enhances the appearance of strength and weight by depicting the elephants carrying massive obelisks on their backs, however, on close inspection it can be seen that these weights are floating. The obelisks on the backs of the elephants are believed to be inspired by Gian Lorenzo Bernini's sculpture base in Rome of an elephant carrying an ancient obelisk, and was mentioned in several communications of the artist, so can be considered a reliable claim.
The Elephants is a good example of a surrealist work, creating a sense of phantom reality. "The elephant is a distortion in space", one critic explains, "its spindly legs contrasting the idea of weightlessness with structure"; "contrasting weight and space".

# Hippolyte Romanov

Hippolyte Vladimirovich Romanov (also spelt Hippolyte Romanoff; Russian: Ипполит Владимирович Романов; 1864–1944) was a Russian engineer and inventor, whose work was closely associated with electric vehicles. He designed the first domestic electric car that was built in Saint Petersburg, 1899.
This vehicle was designed to carry two people and became famous under the name "cuckoo."
It has 750 kg weight, of which 370 kg held battery. Capacity of fully charged battery was enough for about 60 km way at a speed of 35 versts per hour (about 39 km/h).
He also built an omnibus car carrying 17 people at a speed of 20 km/h over a distance of 60 km.
His 20-seater electric omnibus designed for hotels was built in the "Dux" factory in Moscow in 1902 . Its design featured running gear steel tire.
However, the development of electric transport in the country needed support from the state.
On January 19, 1901 Romanov was asked by St. Petersburg City Duma to open 10 routes. This required 80 omnibuses, which need totalling funds of more than 500,000 rubles. To find such huge amounts of money, it was decided to establish a joint stock company, which failed, because its direct competitors (different omnibus and tram companies) were clearly unhappy with the new form of transport.
As the result all Romanov's efforts to establish regular traffic of electric buses failed. Seeing that his ideas were not popular, Romanov transferred to work in other areas of electrical engineering.
He built eight electrical vehicles: 4 trucks, 1 three-cycled van and 3 private passenger cars by mid-1914, according to the magazine "Motorist". Trying to assess the prospects for the spread of electric cars in Russia, magazine wrote:
   ... Meanwhile, electric cars could be very helpful ... We just beware of one-sided relationship to the electrical crews and apply them only where they really stand on their products internationally in its place. Not competition and practice will show what area of movement should be Applicability gasoline cars, and to what extent - electric ...
# Eyerlekh

Eyerlekh (Yiddish: אייערלעך, "little eggs") are unlaid eggs found inside just-slaughtered chickens, and typically cooked in soup. They were historically common in Ashkenazi Jewish cuisine, but their usage has become much less frequent with the rise of prepackaged chicken parts.
In kashrut meal preparation, laid eggs are considered pareve, while unlaid eggs are generally considered meat (fleishig). Because of this, eyerlekh was traditionally served with meat meals rather than dairy meals. According to the Shulchan Aruch (Yoreh De'ah 87:5), unlaid eggs are pareve only if fully formed, while unlaid eggs that are not fully formed are considered meat and may not be consumed with dairy products. However, dairy products can be consumed after eating partially formed eggs.
# Brelan

Brelan (Old French: brelenc) is a famous French vying game with rapidly escalating bets from the seventeenth to nineteenth century, and hence also a name for a card player, gambler or the name of the place where the game was played. The game is quite similar to the game of Bouillotte, but it is not played anymore.

## History

In Old French, a brelan, berlan or berlenc (from High German: bretling = "board, table") was a table on which people played dice. The game of Brelan, even breland, for the name and the rules varied over time, appeared as early as an edict of Lille, France, of 1458, however Depaulis says that "contrary to popular belief, [Brelan] only had the meaning of a card game in the 17th century". In Crébillon's 1763 novel "Le Hasard du coin du feu", the game of "Brelan" takes centre stage. It is often considered as sharing roots with a Renaissance game of Primero and Primo visto. The game of Treschaken is equated to the French bréland in an 1802 Holstein dialect dictionary.
In England, Brelan eventually developed into the game of Brag, also Bragg, where the possibility of bluffing is an important part of the game. It evidently derived from the game of Brelan and later evolved into Bouillotte, which flourished during the French Revolution. Most experts believe that all these earlier card games played an important part in the formation of modern Poker, the most famous representative of a very ancient and always very popular family of games, all of which can be traced even further back to the old French game of Gilet (Gillet, Gile or Trionfetti), which may be considered the most ancient European ancestor of Poker.

## The game

Brelan is played by three, four or five players, with a 32-card pack, each receiving 3 cards and a fourth turned from the stock. The best hand is a brelan carre, or four of a kind, made with the aid of the turn-up card on the table, followed by a simple brelan or prial. Brelan favori is a pair royal composed of 2 cards in the hand and the card turned.
In Brelan Cavé, the game is limited to a certain number of rounds, the bouillotte, on the contrary, lasts as long as there are players in the game who still have not lost their stakes.
