The Lord of the Rings: A Reader's Companion
The Lord of the Rings: A Reader's Companion( 2005) is a nonfiction book written by scholars Wayne G. Hammond and Christina Scull.
It is an annotated reference to J. R. R. Tolkien's" The Lord of the Rings".
Hammond and Scull proceed chapter- by- chapter from the original foreword through to the end of" The Lord of the Rings".
Appendices, examining the evolution of the text, changes, inconsistencies, and errors, often using comments from Tolkien's own notes and letters.
Other sections cover the numerous maps of Middle- earth, chronologies of the story and its writing, and notes on the book and jacket design of the first editions of 1954- 55.
The book includes some previously unpublished material by Tolkien.
It also reprints part of a 1951 letter in which Tolkien explicates, at some length, his conception and vision of" The Lord of the Rings".
Reprinted for the first time since 1980, and corrected and expanded, is Tolkien's" Nomenclature of The Lord of the Rings"( previously referred to as" Guide to the Names in The Lord of the Rings"), an index of persons, places, and things designed to aid the translator in rendering Tolkien's work into foreign languages.
It is available in both hardcover and paperback.
The" Reader's Companion" was designed to accompany the revised one- volume 50th anniversary edition of" The Lord of the Rings"( Houghton Mifflin, 2004).
It is not to be confused with Hammond and Scull's similarly- named reference book" The J.R.R. Tolkien Companion& Guide: Reader's Guide"( 2006).

Cinerama Adventure
Cinerama Adventure is a 2002 documentary about the history of the Cinerama widescreen film process.
It tells the story of the widescreen process' evolution, from a primitive multi-screen pyramid process to a Vitarama format that played a big part in World War II, to the three-screen panoramic process it eventually became.
The film includes interviews with surviving cast and crew who personally worked on the Cinerama films, plus vintage interviews with late creator Fred Waller.
To simulate the Cinerama experience for The Cinerama Adventure, a special three-panel telecine process termed SmileBox (a registered trade mark of C.A. Productions), was developed by video and film expert Greg Kimble for use in this film; it was later utilized for TV broadcasts and Blu-ray releases of Cinerama-formatted films such as "This is Cinerama" and "How the West Was Won".
It was written, produced, directed, edited and narrated by David Strohmaier; produced by Randy Gitsch; executive produced by David's wife, Carin-Anne Strohmaier; and was presented in association with the American Society of Cinematographers.
The running time is 97 minutes.
In 2008, the documentary was released as an extra feature on the DVD and Blu-ray releases of the movie "How the West Was Won" by Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc.

Lord of Arran

Tax incidence
In economics, tax incidence or tax burden is the effect of a particular tax on the distribution of economic welfare.
Economists distinguish between the entities who ultimately bear the tax burden and those on whom tax is initially imposed.
The tax burden measures the true economic weight of the tax, measured by the difference between real incomes or utilities before and after imposing the tax.
An individuality on whom the tax is levied does not have to bear the true size of the tax.
For the example of this difference, assume a firm, that contains employer and employees.
The tax imposed on the employer is divided.
The concept of tax incidence was initially brought to economists' attention by the French Physiocrats, in particular François Quesnay, who argued that the incidence of all taxation falls ultimately on landowners and is at the expense of land rent.
Tax incidence is said to" fall" upon the group that ultimately bears the burden of, or ultimately suffers a loss from, the tax.
The key concept of tax incidence( as opposed to the magnitude of the tax) is that the tax incidence or tax burden does not depend on where the revenue is collected, but on the price elasticity of demand and price elasticity of supply.
As a general policy matter, the tax incidence should not violate the principles of a desirable tax system, especially fairness and transparency.
The theory of tax incidence has a number of practical results.
For example, United States Social Security payroll taxes are paid half by the employee and half by the employer.
However, some economists think that the worker bears almost the entire burden of the tax because the employer passes the tax on in the form of lower wages.
The tax incidence is thus said to fall on the employee.
However, it could equally well be argued that in some cases the incidence of the tax falls on the employer.
This is because both the price elasticity of demand and price elasticity of supply effect upon whom the incidence of the tax falls.
Price controls such as the minimum wage which sets a price floor and market distortions such as subsidies or welfare payments also complicate the analysis.

Drekkana
Drekkana is one of the sixteen main" vargas"( divisions of a sign) described by Parasara to Maitreya who wanted to be explained about the different kinds of houses( Brihat Parasara Hora Sastra( Sl. VI.1).
Parasara states that relationship with co-borns is to be judged from the" drekkanas" occupied by planets.
All standard ancient texts on Hindu astrology describe these" vargas".
The actual disposition of a planet is properly known from its occupation of these sixteen" vargas".
These sixteen sub-divisional charts which are one of the four dimensions of astrology are a basic ingredient of Hindu astrology, and each sub-divisional chart is firstly required to be studied independently and then collectively as one.
M. Ramakrishna
Bhat is of the opinion that" drekkana" is not a Sanskrit word but borrowed from the Greek.
" Drekkana" is one third equal part of a sign(" Rasi") or 1/36 part of the Zodiac; the first part is ruled by the lord of the very sign that is referred to, the second part is ruled by the lord of the 5th sign from that sign and the third part is ruled by the lord of the 9th sign from the sign in question.
However, Rudra states that some interpret the said Parasari rule as lords of the 5th and the 9th" navamsas" whereas the" Kalpa Latha" of Somanatha states that the twelve" drekkanas" from" Mesha"(' Aries') to" Karaka"(' Cancer') will have for their lords, the rulers of the twelve signs, in clock- wise symmetrical order from" Mesha" and similarly for the rest i.e. from" Simha"(' Leo') and from" Dhaunus"(' Sagittarius').
And, there is also the" Parivritti Thrayapaksha" method recommended in the" Vriddha Karikas" of Jaimini which suggests the lordship as per the scheme followed while erecting the" Navamsa Chart".
Varahamihira subscribes to the Parasari method and describes all thirty- six" drekkanas"( Brihat Jataka Ch.XXVII).
A planet gains strength when it is in its own" drekkana".
He recommends the use of the" drekkana" occupied by the Sun at the time of query for ascertaining the" lagna" when the time of birth is not known.
Kalyanavarma in the 49th Chapter of his Saravali explains the result of birth in individual" drekkanas" or' decanates' which are applicable only if – द्रेक्काणभे वीर्यवति स्वद्रष्टे द्रेक्काणकल्पं तु फलं विदध्यात्- the" drekkana" and it s lord are strong or the aspect of the lord of the" drekkana" falls on the" drekkana"( Saravali( Sl. 49.37)).
The" Drekkana Chart" or' the third Harmonic Chart' indicates relationship with the co-borns; when the lord of the 3rd house is posited in a friendly" drekkana", it indicates good results.
A planet occupying its own" drekkana" confers virtues; the Moon similarly situated endows one with best of qualities of body and mind, and the lord of the lagna occupying the first, second or the third" drekkana" makes one a judge, a ruler of a" mandal" or head of a village i.e. attain high position respectively.
B V Raman in his book, “ How to Judge a Horoscope( Vol.1) ” has explained the impact of planets in various" drekkanas" and their lords on the financial position of individuals.
He states that the person will remain happy all his life if the lord of the" lagna" occupies a friendly" drekkana".
The importance of" drekkana- wise" placement of planets and the" bhava- lords" is revealed by the ancient texts.
Garga with regard to a sensitive issue states that if the Moon is situated in Sagittarius or Pisces or in a" drekkana" or" navamsa" ruled by Jupiter or if it joins Jupiter in any sign, the person will not be born of adultery.
And, Sarvartha Chintamani tells us that if the lord of the 5th house is aspected by the lord of the" navamsa" occupied by the lord of the 12th house there will be sorrow on account of the death of children.
The bad manner of death is indicated by the adverse situation and association of certain" drekkana- lords".
Sarvartha Chintamani states- a)
When the" drekkana" occupied by the lord of the 8th falls in" Pasa"( the first" drekkana" of Capricorn)," Sarpa"( the third" drekkana" of Cancer or joins Saturn, Māndi or Rahu, one dies by imprisonment or hanging.
b)
If the lord of the" drekkana" occupied by Saturn is in the sign or" navamsa" ruled by Mars and is aspected by Mars, one meets with death in battle.
c)
If Venus or the Moon is in debilitation sign in the 4th house and the lord of the 7th occupies a" Pasa" or" Sarpa drekkana", wife will die by hanging.
Venkatesa further states that if the lord of the" drekkana" occupied by the lord of the 11th house is a benefic planet and is aspected by the lord of the 10th, there will be much money, and with regard to the state after death he states- If the lord of the" drekkana" occupied by the most powerful among the two planets, the Sun and the Moon, happens to be Jupiter, the person gets into" Devaloka", if that lord is the Moon or Venus, then one goes to" Pitruloka", and if that be the Sun, Mars or Mercury, he goes to hell; if that lord also receives beneficial aspects the person attains an important position in the" loka" he ascends, if it is exalted will have exalted" loka", if debilitated he will go to" Narakaloka".
Venus situated in a cruel" drekkana" gives fear from enemies, imprisonment and great misery, chains and troubles from robbers.
In the Tajik system, the division of each sign into three parts or decanates is governed by the so- called Chaldean system which entered the art of Tajik by way of the Middle East.
