# Tokonoma

A tokonoma (床の間), or simply toko (床), is a recessed space in a Japanese-style reception room, in which items for artistic appreciation are displayed. In English, a tokonoma could be called an alcove.

## History

There are two theories about the predecessor of tokonoma: the first is that it derives from the room structure of the shinden-zukuri, which flourished in the Heian period (794–1185) and declined in the Muromachi period (1336–1573); the second is that it derives from the room structure of Zen monasteries in the Kamakura period (1185–1333). In the room of the monastery, there was a board called oshiita (押板) which displayed Buddhist altar fittings such as candlesticks, incense burners and vases. On the wall behind oshiita was a hanging scroll with a Buddhist theme. The second theory is that the oshiita and the back wall developed into a shoin-zukuri-style tokonoma in the Muromachi period.
In shoin-zukuri, an architectural style developed in the Muromachi period, tokonoma came to be used as room decoration, and the owner of the house sat in front of tokonoma decorated with various things to meet guests. However, in the case of important guests, the householder, in deference to them, had them sit in front of the tokonoma.

## Characteristics

The items typically displayed in a tokonoma are calligraphic or pictorial scrolls and an ikebana flower arrangement. Bonsai and okimono are also common—although traditionally, bonsai were not considered worthy for a place of such respect. The tokonoma and its contents are essential elements of traditional Japanese interior decoration. The kanji toko (床) literally means "floor" or "bed"; ma (間) means "space" or "room".
When seating guests in a Japanese-style room, the correct etiquette is to seat the most important guest closest to the tokonoma as this is in the location furthest from the entrance, a location called the kamiza. Stepping within it is strictly forbidden, except to change the display, when a strict etiquette must be followed.
The pillar on one side of the tokonoma, called toko-bashira (床柱), is usually made of wood, specially prepared for the purpose. It can range from a seemingly raw trunk with bark still attached, to a square piece of heart wood with very straight grain. The choice of toko-bashira determines the level of formality for the tokonoma.
American architect Frank Lloyd Wright was influenced by Japanese architecture. He translated the meaning of the tokonoma into its Western counterpart: the fireplace. This gesture became more of a ceremonial core in his architecture.

# The Bitches

The Bitches (also known as Bitches and Whelps) are a tidal race and set of rocks between Ramsey Island and the west Welsh coastline near St Davids. They are a popular tourist destination and a playspot for extreme waterboarding enthusiasts such as whitewater kayakers and surfers.

## Name and history

The Bitches supposedly derives its name from at least 1909, when a steamer was holed on the rock but managed to beach before she sank. The following year three lifeboatmen were drowned aiding a ketch foundered on the rocks.

## Formation

Water between Ramsey Island and the Welsh coastline is squeezed over a sea bed that changes height dramatically. During the change of tides this causes the water to flow at a rate of up to 7 knots (13 km/h). A set of rocks further constricts the water, especially during higher tides, and this causes hydraulics to form in the shape of glassy standing waves and broken waves (also known as stoppers).

## Access

Numerous guidebooks detail the route to The Bitches, but it is not for the inexperienced or unprepared. The Bitches can be treacherous. Not only are the fast flows and hydraulics a danger, but a large underwater spire known as Horse Rock causes boils and whirlpools, which have sunk boats in the past.
# Lenka Mrzílková

Lenka Mrzílková (born 17 January 1988) is a Czech former sailor, who specialized in two-person dinghy (470) class. Together with her partner and Athens 2004 silver medalist in the Europe class Lenka Šmídová, she was named one of the country's top sailors in the double-handed dinghy for the 2008 Summer Olympics, finishing in seventh place. A member of the yacht club in Neratovice, Mrzílková trained most of her competitive career under the tutelage of her personal coach and father Antonín Mrzílek.
Mrzílková competed for the Czech sailing squad, as a crew member in the women's 470 class, at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. Building up to their Olympic selection, she and skipper Šmídová finished twenty-second to lock the last of five berths available at the class-associated Worlds nearly eight months earlier in Melbourne, Australia. The Czech duo mounted a marvelous lead on the final leg of the series to confirm their spot in the double-point medal race, before they slipped out of contention to seventh overall with 83 net points.

# Kung Fu Soccer

Kung Fu Soccer (Chinese: 功夫足球) is a Hong Kong television drama series that aired on TVB from December 6, 2004 to January 9, 2005.

## Plot

Kung Fu Soccer is about the soccer world intertwined with talented people from the world of Kung Fu. Each character has a special Kung Fu talent that they use to play soccer.
Lam Chung Fu (Anthony Wong) was once a great soccer player in China. While at the top of his soccer-playing career, his brother Pau set him up and he was forced to give up playing.
One day, Fu meets a young man named Shun/Little Sun (Dicky Cheung) and is impressed by his kung-fu and soccer skills. Shun has a disease that causes him to have a really bad memory and he can not remember people. The only thing he can remember is everything relating to soccer (for example soccer players, soccer teams and soccer matches).
Fu comes up with the idea to form a Kung Fu soccer team and apply martial arts skills to the game of soccer. They lose their first game 16–2, however after training hard, the team becomes better and soon wins most of its games.
Then Shun meets a traditional Chinese doctor who has a new medication that can help him. However this new medication has a huge risk—if it goes wrong the medication can kill him. Shun's sister (Sandra Ng), who also has many kung fu skills, gives Shun the choice and he chooses to take the new medication. Shun survives, his memory becomes normal and he is soon elected as captain of the team.
The story continues with the team winning many matches and having many sponsors. Near the end, Lam Chung Fu's brother, the evil Lam Chung Pau, wants their team to lose, so he creates another Kung Fu soccer team to compete against them.
Pau has many evil people working for him and even kills two people from Fu's soccer team (a goalkeeper who tried to save his teammates while they were trapped in a building by Pau and a defence player who tried to save another player from his team by donating his kidney because one of Pau's players kicked one of Fu's players during a soccer match). The defence player was unlucky and dies after the operation but the player who he tried to save survives.
At last (and thanks to Lam Chung Fu's hard work), the players succeed in defeating Pau's team and become world famous.

# Necktie paradox

The necktie paradox is a puzzle and paradox with a subjective interpretation of probability theory describing a paradoxical bet advantageous to both involved parties. The two-envelope paradox is a variation of the necktie paradox.

## Statement of paradox

Two persons, each given a necktie, start arguing over who has the cheaper one. The person with the more expensive necktie must give it to the other person.
The first person reasons as follows: winning and losing are equally likely. If I lose, then I will lose the value of my necktie. But if I win, then I will win more than the value of my necktie. Therefore, the wager is to my advantage. The second person can consider the wager in exactly the same way; thus, paradoxically, it seems both persons have the advantage in the bet.

## Resolution

The paradox can be resolved by giving more careful consideration to what is lost in one scenario ("the value of my necktie") and what is won in the other ("more than the value of my necktie"). If one assumes for simplicity that the only possible necktie prices are $20 and $40, and that a person has equal chances of having a $20 or $40 necktie, then four outcomes (all equally likely) are possible:
| Price of 1st person's tie | Price of 2nd person's tie | 1st person's gain/loss |
| $20 | $20 | 0 |
| $20 | $40 | Gain $40 |
| $40 | $20 | Lose $40 |
| $40 | $40 | 0 |
The first person has a 50% chance of a neutral outcome, a 25% chance of gaining a necktie worth $40, and a 25% chance of losing a necktie worth $40. Turning to the losing and winning scenarios: if the person loses $40, then it is true that they have lost the value of their necktie; and if they gain $40, then it is true that they have gained more than the value of their necktie. The win and the loss are equally likely, but what we call "the value of the necktie" in the losing scenario is the same amount as what we call "more than the value of the necktie" in the winning scenario. Accordingly, neither person has the advantage in the wager.
This paradox is a rephrasing of the simplest case of the two envelopes problem, and the explanation of the resolution is essentially the same.

# Meydan TV

Meydan TV is a Berlin-based Azerbaijani non-profit media organization. Founded by dissident blogger and former political prisoner Emin Milli in 2013, Meydan TV publishes news in Azerbaijani, English, and Russian. In May 2013, Meydan TV announced plans for broadcasting simultaneously through the Turkish Türksat communications. The word "meydan" means town square in Azerbaijani.

## News coverage

Meydan TV gained prominence for its reports and online broadcasts on corruption, human rights and other issues in Azerbaijan, which have been used by the international media, particularly during the 2015 European Games in Baku when several reporters and foreign observers were barred from the country. Meydan TV is a partner of the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project. Several reports of Meydan TV were made with the support of European Endowment for Democracy (EED) organization.
During the 2015 European Games Azerbaijani channel Lider TV interviewed a local man who posed as a foreigner in order to create a "provocation". After Meydan TV identified the interviewee as Seymur Seferov, a displaced Azerbaijani citizen from the Jabrayil Rayon, the Lider TV report on purported foreigner went viral in Azerbaijani social media. In 2015 it was reported that several Meydan TV journalists were prosecuted, arrested or received travel bans (including Aynura Ismayil, Shirin Abbasov, Ayten Farhadova and Aysel Umudova). According to Ali Hasanov, Meydan TV website and several other media outlets were not following the accreditation rules for foreign media representatives in Azerbaijan approved on 18 March 2015.
On 9 April 2016, Azerbaijani website Haqqin.az accused Meydan TV of overestimation of Azerbaijani casualties during the 2016 Armenian–Azerbaijani clashes. Meydan TV which put the number of military casualties at 94 instead of officially stated 31 compiled the list according to posts in social networks. Haqqin.az stated that soldier Aidyn Hasanov listed by Meydan TV among those killed was actually treated in a military hospital for arm injury.

# Jeannette and Jeannot

"Jeannette and Jeannot" is a popular piece of music written in 1847 by British theatre orchestra violinist and composer, Charles William Glover (1806–1863). It inspired other works on the theme of military conscription, and the tune was still being played by musicians around the world more than a century and a half later.
The original lyrics depict two young French lovers about to separate because of war. Jeannette expresses concern that Jeannot may forget her:
   You are going far away, far away from poor Jeannette, There is no one left to love me now, and you, too, may forget. But my heart will be with you, wherever you may go, Can you look me in the face and say the same, Jeannot?
Glover incorporated the title song into "The Jeannette and Jeannot Quadrille", a dance music routine. The sheet music was illustrated by the well-known lithographic artist John Brandard (1812–1863). Combined with Glover's music and lyrics, Brandard's lithographs were then used to help put "Jeannette and Jeannot" into British theatres.
The prolific playwright Edward Stirling (1807–1894) produced Jeannette and Jeannot, also known as The village pride. Promoted as a "musical drama in two acts", it was first performed at London's Olympic Theatre in October 1848. "If it had been produced earlier in the season, before the public had been almost cloyed with Glover's very pretty ballads, we should have anticipated a long run", wrote The Theatrical Times. "The plot, of course, is told in the title, and Miss Rebecca Isaacs, as Jeannette, looked very much like Brandard's clever lithographs on the music."
In Stirling's play, Jeannot was leaving to fight in the French revolutionary wars as an army conscript. A new French system of conscription introduced in 1798, making men aged 20 to 25 liable for five years of army service, is seen as the beginning of modern European conscription.
In 1852, the London actor and singer William Hawthorne Eburne produced a second musical called Jeannette and Jeannot or The Conscript's Vow. By the 1860s, the names "Jeannette" and "Jeannot" were being used by some publications to symbolically represent all young French lovers separated by the country's conscription system.
The original lyrics of Glover's "Jeannette and Jeannot" have often been parodied. This is an extract from one example (sung to the same tune) from 1849:
   You are going far away, far away from all your debts,
   There's one left to pay me now, and you have no assets;
   But my Bill it will be with you wherever you may go, Can you look into my Ledger, and deny me what you owe.
The tune of "Jeannette and Jeannot" is still played in the 21st Century by guitarists, violinists, pianists and other musicians.
Glover's numerous other productions included sentimental ballads like the well-known "Rose of Tralee", and semi-comedic compositions.
# Jim Semple

# Dinaelurus

Dinaelurus is a genus of the Nimravidae, an extinct family of feliform mammalian carnivores, also known as "false saber-toothed cats". Assigned to the subfamily Nimravinae, Dinaelurus was endemic to North America during the Oligocene epoch (30.8—20.6 mya), existing for approximately 10.2 million years.

## Taxonomy

Dinaelurus was named by George Francis Eaton in 1922, with a single species, Dinaelurus crassus. It was assigned to Nimravinae by Flynn and Galiano in 1982. One specimen was found in the John Day Formation in Oregon.

## Description

Dinaelurus had a skull extremely broad for its length and had conical teeth; it exhibited little or no development of sabertooth features and had more rounded cheek teeth with no serrated ridges. It had a relatively gracile skeleton and may have had digitigrade feet. It is believed that Dinaelurus was a cursorial predator that ran down its prey. This is suggested by the nimravid's short face and large nostrils, similar to those of a cheetah, which is also a cursorial predator.
