German Tagesschau ARD on Trump & Harris A TV debate on US television lives from images, and at least in this respect Harris was clearly on the winning side. When she spoke, she seemed clear, focused and confident and often looked into the camera with open, sparkling eyes. When it was Trump's turn, she looked over at him, occasionally putting on an amused smile, shaking her head or laughing out loud.   Trump, on the other hand, avoided any eye contact with his rival, mostly looked at the moderators with his eyes narrowed and visibly tried to keep his composure.

Bugs

Credit phb Copied from eMail as an example only: Kel Richards' Ozword of the Day: "Bugs"  With the world stunned by a global computer outage, we find ourselves bombarded by the word ‘bug’—this was not, we are told, a hacking attack, it was a small ‘bug’ in a program patch. But why is such a thing called a ‘bug’?  Well, there is a story behind this use of the word, and, as it happens the story is wrong. But it’s so widespread, let me explain it and then debunk it.  The story is that the word was first used by computer language pioneer Dr Grace Hooper. On September 9, 1947, she was part of team working on Harvard University’s Mark II computer that found a bug gumming up the works—a moth had squeezed into one of the machine’s components—creating a short-circuit.  After extracting it, Dr Hooper taped it to the logbook with the caption ‘first actual case of a bug being found.’ That logbook, with moth intact, is in the collection of the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of American History.  It's a great story, and I’m sure it really happened.  But it’s not the origin of the use of ‘bug’ for a defect or fault in a machine or in a process (especially an electrical or electronic one).  That use of the word ‘bug’ has been traced back to at least…

Hashashin

The Hashashin, also known as the Assassins, were a secretive and formidable group of Nizari Ismaili Muslims active from the late 11th to the late 13th centuries in Persia and Syria¹². They were founded by Hasan-i Sabbah, a charismatic leader who established their headquarters at Alamut Castle in the Alborz mountains of Persia¹². The Hashashin were known for their strategic use of targeted killings to eliminate political and military opponents. Their preferred methods included stealthy dagger attacks, often carried out in public to maximize psychological impact². They posed a significant threat to various ruling powers, including the Fatimid, Abbasid, and Seljuk authorities, as well as Crusader leaders¹². One of the most intriguing aspects of the Hashashin was their network of mountain fortresses, which provided them with secure bases from which to operate. These fortresses, including Alamut and Masyaf, were nearly impregnable and allowed the Hashashin to maintain their influence over a wide region¹². The group's name, "Hashashin," is believed to be derived from the Arabic word "hashish," reflecting the belief that they used hashish to induce a state of euphoria and fearlessness before their missions². However, some historians suggest that this etymology might have been a later invention, possibly to discredit them². The Hashashin's influence waned in the mid-13th century when the Mongols, led by Hulagu Khan, launched a series of campaigns against them, eventually capturing and destroying many of their…

W G Sebald and Vertigo

I found a website I wish to share with all my avid readers around the globe. The German-born writer Sebald lived in Great Britain and died in a car accident. The website Vertigo: Just check Sebald out for yourself via the link provided here. Linked here ... Greek Tribute to Sebald | Vertigo (wordpress.com) Quoted from the website Vertigo: W.G. Sebald is a writer whose roving takes us from the beginning of each of his texts to an out there, to an exteriority, where we paradoxically come closer to ourselves as it overwhelms us with knowledge of a complete self-awareness. And this paradox... Sebald is a stranger, and with us as his personal friends in a foreign land, he departs to observe critically from a supervisory distance of epic proportion and always with the pursuit of a certain tension in mind, as he once said, often ominous and threatening. Perhaps here the blurriness of his scattered images and photographs, the levitation embedded in them... Read the full text via the link. Author: Vasilis Papageorgiou Greek Tribute to Sebald | Vertigo (wordpress.com) —- Mr. Vertigo written by Paul Auster, published in 1994. This novel tells the story of Walter Claireborne Rawley, also known as Walt, a neglected orphan who is taken under the wing of Master Yehudi. Yehudi promises to teach Walt how to fly, both literally and metaphorically. Plot Overview Walt's…
