Ponce de Leon Springs

Ponce de Leon Springs were natural springs located on the site of Ponce City Market (formerly the Sears building, then City Hall East) in Atlanta, where Ponce de Leon Avenue crosses the BeltLine, and where the Old Fourth Ward, Virginia Highland, Midtown and Poncey-Highland neighborhoods of Atlanta meet. In the 1860s, trips to the springs on John Armistead's beech grove became a popular day trip among Atlantans. An Atlanta physician, Dr. Henry L. Wilson, named them in honor of Juan Ponce de León, asserting that they kept one young; today's Ponce de Leon Avenue is named after the springs. On June 20, 1874 the Ponce de Leon line of the horse-drawn Atlanta Street Railway was extended to the springs, with service every 15 minutes from 5:30 A.M. to 10 P.M., for a fare of 10 cents. In the 1890s the Nine-Mile Circle streetcar line arrived, bringing many more visitors. Ponce de Leon amusement park was built around the springs. In 1924, the amusement park had seen its day and Sears Roebuck built its Southeastern headquarters on the site. Until 2009, the building functioned as City Hall East, then plans were put in place to redevelop the building as Ponce City Market, a multi-use residential, office and retail complex.

singularity

In the study of unstable systems, James Clerk Maxwell in 1873 was the first to use the term singularity in its most general sense: that in which it refers to contexts in which arbitrarily small changes, commonly unpredictably, may lead to arbitrarily large effects. In this sense, Maxwell did not differentiate between dynamical systems and social systems. He used the concept of singularities primarily as an argument against determinism or absolute causality. He did not in his day deny that the same initial conditions would always achieve the same results, but pointed out that such a statement is of little value in a world in which the same initial conditions are never repeated. In the late pre-quantum-theoretic philosophy of science, this was a significant recognition of the principle of underdetermination.

Joanna E. Wood

Joanna Ellen Wood (December 28, 1867 – May 1, 1927), sometimes known as Nelly Wood, was a Canadian novelist. Joanna Ellen Wood was born on December 28, 1867, in Lesmahagow, Scotland. Her family came to Irving, New York, in 1869, moving to Ontario soon thereafter. As of 1913, she lived in Queenston, Ontario, which, along with Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, was her primary Canadian residence. Wood also lived in France and various American cities. In an 1896 profile for the Buffalo Courier-Express, Honora S. Howard noted that "[l]ack of nationality in her work and in other personal characteristics inclines us to place [her] among the cosmopolites".Wood's novel Judith Moore, or, Fashioning a Pipe (1898) is the story of Andrew Cutler, a burgeoning artist in small-town Ontario, who comes to meet Judith Moore, an opera singer who has toured Europe and North America. Carrie MacMillan argues that Cutler represents an "ideal Canadian type" of artist who needn't go abroad to realize his talents. In other work, MacMillan describes Wood as a "sentimental novelist" influenced by Thomas Hardy. Although mainly a novelist, Wood also published a number of short stories and serials.In an 1899 article, Lawrence Johnstone Burpee described Wood as "the Miss Wilkins of rural Ontario life", likely referring to Mary Eleanor Wilkins Freeman. Thomas Guthrie Marquis wrote in English-Canadian Literature (1913) that Wood "shows an intimate acquaintance with early conditions in Canada, and treats her subjects with artistic fineness and praiseworthy seriousness".Wood died in Detroit, Michigan, on May 1, 1927.

Russian reversal

"In Soviet Russia", also called the Russian reversal, is a joke template taking the general form "In America you do X to/with Y; in Soviet Russia Y does X to/with you". Typically the American clause describes a harmless ordinary activity and the inverted Soviet form something menacing or dysfunctional, satirizing life under a communist state, or in the "old country". Sometimes the first clause is omitted, and sometimes either clause or both are often deliberately rendered with English grammatical errors stereotypical of Russians. Said with a heavy Russian accent, the punchline can highlight a backwards Russian scenario. Although the exact origin of the joke form is uncertain, an early example is from the 1938 Cole Porter musical Leave It to Me! ("In Soviet Russia, messenger tips you."). Bob Hope used the form at the 1958 Academy Awards. In the 1968–1973 television show Laugh-In, a recurring character, "Piotr Rosmenko the Eastern European Man" (played by Arte Johnson), delivered short jokes such as "Here in America, is very good, everyone watch television. In old country, television watch you!". This joke alludes to "telescreens" from George Orwell's dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four which both reproduce images and monitor the citizenry. The joke form is often mistakenly credited to the Soviet émigré American comedian Yakov Smirnoff; an example is a Miller Lite commercial in which he appeared in 1985, wherein he stated: "In America, there's plenty of light beer and you can always find a party. In Russia, Party always finds you". Another mistaken credit is by Garry Kasparov: "Every country.
