Virginia Frances "Ginny", Lady Twisleton-Wykeham-Fiennes (9 de julio de 1947 - 20 de febrero de 2004) fue una exploradora polar y la esposa del aventurero Ranulph Fiennes. Ginny fue la primera mujer en recibir la Medalla Polar, y como tal fue invitada a unirse al Club Antártico en reconocimiento de su trabajo de investigación para el British Antarctic Survey y para la Universidad de Sheffield en la propagación de radio de baja frecuencia.

Biografía
Nació como Virginia Pepper en Godalming, Surrey en 1947. Su familia poseía canteras de tiza en Amberley. Cuando tenía 9 años, conoció a Ranulph Fiennes, su futuro esposo, que tenía apenas 12 años en ese momento. Se casaron en 1970. Después de la escuela, comenzó a bucear en aguas profundas y fue reclutada para trabajar durante dos años en Wester Ross para el National Trust de Escocia. También se formó en el Royal Aircraft Establishment, Farnborough, tomó cursos de oficiales de radio marina y se unió a los Cuerpos Territoriales del Ejército Real Femenino.

En 1968, organizó la primera ascensión del río más largo del mundo, el río Nilo, en un prototipo de aerodeslizador. Tres años más tarde organizó la primera trasborda de Columbia Británica, completamente por río. En 1972, la revista Woman's Own la encargó para vivir durante dos meses con una familia omaní, y más tarde organizó cuatro expediciones con su marido para localizar la ciudad perdida del incienso de Ubar en Dhofar. En 1972, ideó un plan para circunnavegar el mundo a lo largo de su eje polar, y diez años más tarde su equipo Transglobe Expedition se convirtió en el primero en llegar a ambos polos, cruzar la Antártida y el Océano Ártico, a través del Paso del Noroeste.

Vida personal
En la década de 1980 se mudó al parque nacional de Exmoor y comenzó a criar una manada de ganado Aberdeen Angus con pedigrí y una bandada de ovejas negras de Gales, convirtiéndose en una gran agricultora y formando una de las granjas más grandes del suroeste. En noviembre de 2003 se descubrió que padecía cáncer de estómago, diagnosticado el día después de que su marido regresara de correr siete maratones en siete días en siete continentes. Murió el 20 de febrero de 2004, a los 56 años.

Ernesto Cesàro, född 12 mars 1859 i Neapel, död 12 september 1906, var en italiensk matematiker.

Cesàro var professor i Neapel. Han är mest känd genom den efter honom uppkallade metoden för behandling av divergenta serier, Cesàros summationsmetod. Cesàros viktigaste arbete inom det området finns i Bulletin des sciences mathématiques 1890. Metoden är av betydelse därigenom, att man ibland som uttryck för sökta funktioner bara kan få serier som direkt summerade, inte har någon bestämd summa, men behandlade med Cesàros metod får en välbestämd sådan, vars värde just är den sökta funktionen. Mycket vackra användningar av metoden har gjorts av bland andra Niels Bohr, Lipót Fejér och Marcel Riesz. Bland Cesàros övriga många avhandlingar märks särskilt de geometriska. Han tilldelades matematikpriset från Accademia dei XL 1887.

Левон Тер-Петросян (, ) е арменски държавен и политически деец.

Той е първият президент на Армения – от 1991 до 1998 г. Поради икономически и политически проблеми подава оставка на 3 февруари 1998 г., като е наследен от премиера Роберт Кочарян.

Биография
Роден е в арменско-сирийско семейство на оцелели от геноцид в Халеб, Сирия на 9 януари 1945 г. Те емигрират в Съветска Армения през 1946 г. Завършва Факултета по ориенталистика на Ереванския университет (1968) и аспирантура в Ленинградския университет (1972), а през 1987 г. получава докторска степен в същия университет.

В периода от 1972 до 1978 г. работи като младши научен сътрудник в Института по литература на Армения. От 1978 до 1985 г. заема поста научен секретар в Институт за древни ръкописи "Матенадаран" в Ереван). От 1985 г. е старши изследовател в "Матенадаран".

Владее арменски, асирийски, руски, френски, английски, немски и арабски, както и някои изчезнали езици. Автор е на повече от 70 научни публикации на арменски, руски и френски език. Член е на Съюза на писателите на Армения и на Френско-азиатското общество, почетен доктор е на университета в Ла Верн, Софийския университет, Парижкия университет и Университета на Страсбург.

Женен е за Людмила Тер-Петросян. Имат син Давид Тер-Петросян и 3 внуци.

Политическа кариера
Политическата кариера на Тер-Петросян започва през 1960 г. През 1966 г. е арестуван за активното му участие в демонстрация на 24 април същата година. През февруари 1988 г. застава начело на Карабахския комитет на Матенадаран – група от арменски интелектуалци, признати от много арменци за техни ръководители в края на 1980-те години През май същата година се включва в арменския комитет на движението Карабах. От 10 декември 1988 г. до 31 май 1989 г. е под арест в "Матроская тишина" (следствен изолатор № 1 в Москва), заедно с останалите членове на комисията Карабах.

През 1989 г. Тер-Петросян е избран за член на Управителния съвет на Арменското национално движение. По-късно става председател на Управителния съвет. На 27 август 1989 г. е избран за председател на Върховния съвет на Арменската съветска социалистическа република и е преизбран на 20 май 1990 г. На 4 август същата година става председател на Върховния съвет на Република Армения.

Като президент
Тер-Петросян е избран от народа за първи президент на новосъздадената независима Република Армения на 16 октомври 1991 г. и преизбран на 22 септември 1996 г. Преизбирането му обаче е помрачено от обвинения в изборни измами, отчетени от опозицията и поддържани от много международни наблюдатели. Популярността му отслабва още повече, когато опозицията започва да го обвинява за лошото икономическото положение, в което се намира Армения след разпадането на СССР. По-специално не е харесван заради забраната, която налага над партията Арменска революционна федерация, чието ръководство хвърля в затвора на основание, че ръководството ѝ е базирано в чужбина, което е забранено според арменската конституция.

Оставка
Тер-Петросян е принуден да подаде оставка през февруари 1998 г., след като оправдава компрометиращото уреждане на конфликта Нагорни Карабах, което му действие много арменци считат за подкопаване на тяхната сигурност. Ключови министри на Тер-Петросян, водени от тогавашния министър-председател Роберт Кочарян, отказват да приемат плана за мир за Нагорни Карабах, предложен от международни посредници през септември 1997 г. Приетият от Тер-Петросян и Азербайджан т.нар. "план за поетапно уреждане на конфликта" е причината да се отложи споразумението за статута на Нагорни Карабах. Това е споразумение за връщане на Азербайджан на повечето, контролирани от Армения, азербайджански територии около Нагорни Карабах и вдигането на арменските блокади от Азербайджан и Турция.

Завръщане
След като подава оставка, Тер-Петросян се появява рядко в обществото и избягва контакт с медиите. Въпреки това се появяват спекулации, че той ще се кандидатира за президент на Армения на изборите през февруари 2003 г. Вместо това посвещава времето си на научни изследвания. В периода 2005 – 2007 г. Тер-Петросян публикува 2 тома от историко-политическите си изследвания "Кръстоносците и арменците".

На 21 септември 2007 г. в Ереван, по случай 16-годишнината от обявяване на независимостта на Армения, Тер-Петросян държи първата си публична реч от близо 10 години В тази реч той е доста критичен към Кочарян. Впоследствие на 26 октомври 2007 г. в реч в Ереван Тер-Петросян официално обявява кандидатурата си за президентските избори през 2008 г. Обвинява правителството на Кочарян за ширещата се корупция, включваща кражбата на "най-малко 3 или 4 млрд. долара" през последните 5 години Той е критичен и към твърденията на правителството за силен икономически растеж и заявява, че решението, което Кочарян и неговият министър-председател Серж Саркисян са намерили по проблема с Нагорни Карабах, всъщност е същото решение, което той е предложил 10 години по-рано.

След завръщането му на политическата сцена, зад него застават редица опозиционни партии, в това число и Народната партия на Армения (водена от Степан Демирчян), Арменската републиканска партия (водена от Арам Саркисян), Социалдемократическата партия, "Азадакрум" – движение за Жирайр Сефилян, партията "Ново време" и партията "Наследство" (водена от Рафи Ованисян).

Протести
Окончателните резултати от изборите, проведени на 19 февруари 2008 г., официално поставят Тер-Петросян на 2-ро място с 21,5% от гласовете. Тогава той и неговите привърженици обвиняват правителството във фалшифициране на изборите. Започвайки на 20 февруари, той води непрекъснати протести, включващи десетки хиляди негови поддръжници в Ереван. В ранните сутрешни часове на 1 март, според свидетелства за огнестрелни оръжия в лагера, властите нахлуват, за да разгледат внимателно палатките, създадени от демонстрантите. Правоохранителните агенти насилствено разпръскват стотиците протестиращи в лагер. Тер-Петросян е поставен под домашен арест, не му е разрешавано да напуска дома си, макар че властите по-късно отричат твърденията. Няколко часа по-късно десетки хиляди протестиращи се събират на площад "Миясникян", за да протестират срещу акта на правителството. Полицията, притисната от размера на тълпата, се отказва да се противопоставя. Президентът Кочарян в 17 ч. обявява извънредно положение, като той позволява на армията да се премести в столицата. През нощта хилядите демонстранти правят барикади, използвайки реквизирани общински автобуси. В резултат на престрелка с полицията загиват 10 души.

През 2011 г. Тер-Петросян отново има водеща роля по време на протестите, които избухват в Армения като част от вълна от многобройни конфликти. Като лидер на опозиционния блок на Арменския национален конгрес, образуван 2 години преди избухването на протестите, Тер-Петросян обвинява президента Серж Саркисян, избран на изборите през 2008 г., че е "нелегитимен", и призовава за освобождаване на политическите затворници, за оставката на правителството, както и за пълно разследване на насилието, което отнема живота на 10 негови поддръжници през 2008 г.

Le Central Pangean Mountains erano una estesa catena montuosa, sviluppata in direzione nordest-sudovest, situata nella parte centrale del supercontinente Pangea durante il Triassico. Si formò come risultato della collisione fra i più piccoli supercontinenti Laurussia e Gondwana durante la formazione di Pangea. Resti di questa imponente catena montuosa sono i monti Appalachi in America del Nord e l'Anti Atlante in Marocco,

Nella formazione delle Central Pangean Mountains furono coinvolti vari periodi di formazione delle montagne, compresa l'orogenesi acadiana, la caledoniana e l'alleganiana.

Langst-Kierst ist ein Ortsteil von Meerbusch in Nordrhein-Westfalen mit ca. 1000 Einwohnern.

Geschichte
Die erste urkundliche Erwähnung erfolgte im Jahre 904. Somit konnte im Jahre 2004 bereits das 1100-jährige Bestehen der kleinen Gemeinde gefeiert werden.

Von 1392 bis 1794 gehörten Langst und Kierst zum kurkölnischen Amt Linn.

Langst-Kierst wurde am 1. Januar 1970 nach Meerbusch eingemeindet. Der Landtag von Nordrhein-Westfalen beschloss 1974 die Auflösung der Stadt Meerbusch und die Aufteilung von Langst-Kierst auf die Städte Krefeld (Hauptteil) und Düsseldorf. Die Stadt Meerbusch erwirkte jedoch beim Verfassungsgericht in Münster die Aussetzung des Auflösungsbeschlusses. Der Landtag von Nordrhein-Westfalen bestätigte daraufhin 1976 die Existenz der Stadt Meerbusch.

Über die Region hinaus ist Langst-Kierst vor allem durch die Fährverbindung nach Kaiserswerth über den Rhein bekannt. Diese Verbindung hat jedoch mit Einweihung der Flughafenbrücke im Jahre 2002 an Bedeutung verloren.

Sehenswürdigkeiten
Markante Punkte im Ort sind z. B. die im romanischen Stil erbaute und 1911 dem hl. Martinus geweihte Kirche; das Rheinhotel "Vier Jahreszeiten", vormals unter dem Namen "Haus Niederrhein" bekannt; das Haus Gummersbach, ein denkmalgeschütztes Wohnhaus; sowie der Gutshof "Haus Kierst", auf dem der gleichnamige Reiterverein beheimatet ist.

Vereine
Weitere Vereine in Langst-Kierst sind die St.-Martinus-Schützenbruderschaft von 1858, der Radfahrverein Triumph von 1920, die Löschgruppe Langst-Kierst der Freiwilligen Feuerwehr von 1921 und der 1973 gegründete Bürgerverein.

Hard Nova is a role-playing video game developed by  Malibu Interactive and published by Electronic Arts in 1990 for DOS, Amiga and Atari ST. It is a follow-up to Sentinel Worlds I: Future Magic.

Gameplay

Hard Nova has a character creation element that allows players to choose their gender, and, unlike Sentinel Worlds I, lead a group of mercenaries.

Plot

Reception
The game received 5 out of 5 stars in Dragon. Scorpia of Computer Gaming World opined in 1991 that Hard Nova greatly improved on Sentinel Worlds, and concluded that it "is a pretty decent game, with some interesting touches and a good storyline. While not a long-term epic, it should keep you occupied for awhile." Ken St. Andre wrote in the same issue of CGW that "it is a very good real-time shoot-'em-up game", but that the combat became boring and amoral and the game offered little exploration. In 1993 Scorpia stated that Hard Nova was "definitely worth your attention if you like space games".

American Psycho is a novel by Bret Easton Ellis, published in 1991. The story is told in the first person by Patrick Bateman, a wealthy, narcissistic, vain Manhattan investment banker who supposedly lives a double life as a serial killer. Alison Kelly of The Observer notes that while "some countries [deem it] so potentially disturbing that it can only be sold shrink-wrapped", "critics rave about it" and "academics revel in its transgressive and postmodern qualities".

A film adaptation starring Christian Bale as Patrick Bateman was released in 2000 to generally favorable reviews. Producers David Johnson and Jesse Singer developed a musical adaptation for Broadway. The musical premiered at the Almeida Theatre, London in December 2013.

Development

Plot
Set in Manhattan during the Wall Street boom of the late 1980s, American Psycho follows the life of wealthy young investment banker Patrick Bateman. Bateman, in his mid-20s when the story begins, narrates his everyday activities, from his recreational life among the Wall Street elite of New York to his forays into murder by night. Through present tense stream-of-consciousness narrative, Bateman describes his daily life, ranging from a series of Friday nights spent at nightclubs with his colleagues—where they snort cocaine, critique fellow club-goers' clothing, trade fashion advice, and question one another on proper etiquette—to his loveless engagement to fellow yuppie Evelyn and his contentious relationship with his brother and senile mother. Bateman's stream of consciousness is occasionally broken up by chapters in which he directly addresses the reader in order to critique the work of 1980s pop music artists. The novel maintains a high level of ambiguity through mistaken identity and contradictions that introduce the possibility that Bateman is an unreliable narrator. Characters are consistently introduced as people other than themselves, and people argue over the identities of others they can see in restaurants or at parties. Deeply concerned with his personal appearance, Bateman gives extensive descriptions of his daily aesthetics regimen.

After killing Paul Owen, one of his colleagues, Bateman appropriates Paul's apartment as a place to host and kill more victims. Bateman's control over his violent urges deteriorates. His murders become increasingly sadistic and complex, progressing from simple stabbings to drawn-out sequences of rape, torture, mutilation, cannibalism, and necrophilia, and his grasp on sanity begins to slip. He introduces stories about serial killers into casual conversations and on several occasions openly confesses his murderous activities to his coworkers, who never take him seriously, do not hear what he says, or misunderstand him completely—for example, hearing the words "murders and executions" as "mergers and acquisitions". These incidents culminate in a shooting spree during which he kills several random people in the street, resulting in a SWAT team being dispatched in a helicopter. This narrative episode sees the first-person perspective shift to third-person and the subsequent events are, although not for the first time in the novel, described in terms pertaining to cinematic portrayal. Bateman flees on foot and hides in his office, where he phones his attorney, Harold Carnes, and confesses all his crimes to an answering machine.

Later, Bateman revisits Paul Owen's apartment, where he had earlier killed and mutilated two prostitutes, carrying a surgical mask in anticipation of the decomposing bodies he expects to encounter. He enters the perfectly clean, refurbished apartment, however, filled with strong-smelling flowers meant, perhaps, to conceal a bad odor. The real estate agent, who sees his surgical mask, fools him into stating he was attending the apartment viewing because he "saw an ad in the Times" (when in fact there was no such advertisement). She tells him to leave and never return.

Bateman's mental state continues to deteriorate and he begins to experience bizarre hallucinations such as seeing a Cheerio interviewed on a talk show, being stalked by an anthropomorphic park bench, and finding a bone in his Dove Bar. At the end of the story, Bateman confronts Carnes about the message he left on his machine, only to find the attorney amused at what he considers a hilarious joke. Mistaking Bateman for another colleague, Carnes claims that the Patrick Bateman he knows is too much of a coward to have committed such acts. In the dialogue-laden climax, Carnes stands up to a defiant Bateman and tells him his claim of having murdered Owen is impossible, because he had dinner with him twice in London just a few days prior.

The book ends as it began, with Bateman and his colleagues at a new club on a Friday night, engaging in banal conversation. The sign seen at the end of the book simply reads "This is not an exit".

Themes
According to literary critic Jeffrey W. Hunter, American Psycho is largely a critique of the "shallow and vicious aspects of capitalism". The characters are predominantly concerned with material gain and superficial appearances, traits indicative of a postmodern world in which the 'surface' reigns supreme. This leads Patrick Bateman to act as if "everything is a commodity, including people", an attitude that is further evident in the rampant objectification and brutalization of women that occurs in the novel. This distancing allows Bateman to rationalize his actions; in one scene in which he cannibalizes a victim, Bateman remarks "though it does sporadically penetrate how unacceptable some of what I'm doing actually is, I just remind myself that this thing, this girl, this meat, is nothing ..."

Patrick Bateman's consumption of what he views as nothing more than a piece of meat is an almost parodically literal interpretation of a monster created by consumer culture. This, combined with sex, violence, drugs, and other desires of the id, is how Bateman enacts his sociopathic violence in a superficial world.

Bateman's episodes of schizophrenia also shows clear signs on how he copes with being an affluent person living in a superficial world, fashioned on consumerism. As described by the critic Jennifer Krause in her intertextual analysis of the novel, which relies on the work of postmodern theorist Fredric Jameson, Jameson "blames the schizophrenic's ills on the incoherence of postmodern media and capitalistic consumption".

Jameson's critique is expanded by Krause, who writes: "We can see a distinctly popular culture schizophrenia arise, a disease spread by the postmodern culture industry, which ruptures personality and isolates the fractured self. Though Jameson does not specifically reference two different types of schizophrenia in his writings, he implies an artistic schizophrenia versus a more popular form—one more or less accepted, and the other anathema. This raises questions about how popular culture might act as a potential cure for madness". On the one hand is a rich Wall Street banker, Bateman, concerned and very self-conscious about every detail of his physical appearance, expensive possessions, and control of the people and the world around him. On the other hand, is the inner self of Patrick Bateman, the aboriginal-self, who copes and relinquishes his outer complications and "fake" identity, created by consumerism, through violence on other human beings, who he finds consumable, and expresses absolute control of his desires and true self through his violent fantasies. His consumer, artificial self, proceeding in society as a wealthy consumer would live and spend his income, versus his natural self, who, instead of spending money, would hunt and prey on the weak and vulnerable, usually women, whom he deems expendable. Bateman treats the people around him just like any other consumer product, because of the void he still battles with and wishes to fulfill from within, hence, having dual personas, having the dull artificial identity, compared to his free limitless persona of his mind.

Observing another side of potential behavior coming from the affluent American society of consumerism is explained through C. Serpell: "Though serialized violence in American Psycho is an extension of the deadening effects of serialized consumer exchanges in an economy where commodities and bodies become interchangeable and indistinguishable, this point largely escaped the notice of the novel's harshest critics". Despite critics arguing over the aesthetic properties of the novel from rapid patterns and transitions of self-consciousness and murder, Serpell claims critics have overlooked the key themes and motives of the novel. Serpell bringing to light the patterns and trends Ellis expresses through Bateman, what the consequences of how "serialized consumer exchanges in an economy where commodities and bodies become interchangeable and indistinguishable", could affect society, and the way affluent people view others whether they are higher, lower, or the same in wealth or social status. The critic Thomas Heise states that "the uncertainty about the reality of Patrick's violence has become the chief critical debate on American Psycho, and it serves as a convenient introduction to the entanglement of epistemology and ethics in the novel". Bateman's character and traits, according to Heise, challenge what readers understand as the social norms for the way the elite upper class think and react to society on a normal basis. Bateman's epistemology and ethics in regards to his actions and way of thinking throughout the novel is a reflection, through his violence, which raises the questions of the moral and ethical understanding of all individuals in Bateman's position and status, and how they might act and think similar or completely identical in a consumer world built on capitalism as people see in today's American society.

Citing the many bodies that are never found, Henry Bean wonders "is it possible that the murders themselves never occurred?" He continues:

It has often been noted that Patrick Bateman is an example of an unreliable narrator, and this feature of American Psycho has been the subject of discussion in several academic works.
 In a 2014 appearance on the WTF with Marc Maron podcast, Ellis stated that Bateman's narration was so unreliable that even he, as the author of the book, did not know if Bateman was honestly describing events that actually happened or if he was lying or even hallucinating.

Characters

Major characters
 Patrick Bateman – the central narrator and villainous protagonist of the novel.
 Evelyn Richards – Bateman's supposed fiancée.
 Timothy Bryce – Bateman's best friend and colleague. Later appears as a teenager in Ellis's novel The Informers.
 Paul Owen – Bateman's colleague who is later murdered by Bateman.
 Jean – Bateman's secretary, whom Bateman refers to as "Jean, my secretary who is in love with me".
 Luis Carruthers – a closeted homosexual co-worker who is attracted to Bateman, something that disgusts the latter.
 Courtney Lawrence – Luis' fiancée who is having an affair with Bateman.
 Craig McDermott – Bateman's colleague, part of a social foursome alongside Bateman, Timothy Price and David Van Patten.
 David Van Patten – Bateman's colleague, also part of Bateman's main social group.

Minor characters
 "Christie" – a prostitute, employed and badly abused by Bateman on multiple occasions before he eventually murders her in a grisly fashion. Bateman gives her this name; her real one is never revealed.
 Elizabeth – a dinner date of Bateman's, drugged and coerced into having sex with "Christie" before being violently murdered.
 Marcus Halberstam – Bateman's colleague; Paul Owen repeatedly mistakes Bateman for Marcus.
 Donald Kimball – private detective hired to investigate Paul Owen's disappearance.
 Alison Poole – sexually and physically assaulted by Bateman; created by Ellis's friend Jay McInerney in his novel Story of My Life and based on McInerney's former girlfriend Rielle Hunter, reappears as a main character in Ellis's later novel Glamorama, where she is involved with the lead character, Victor Ward.
 Sean Bateman – younger brother of Patrick Bateman and also the lead character of The Rules of Attraction.
 Paul Denton – friend of Paul Owen, who also appears in The Rules of Attraction where he is possibly romantically involved with Patrick's brother Sean.

 Patty Winters – the host of a talk show which Bateman frequently views. As the novel progresses the subject of her programs become more and more absurd, implied to be no more than a figment of Bateman's imagination.

Controversy
Ellis later wrote that people assumed that American Psycho would end his career. It was originally to have been published by Simon & Schuster in March 1991, but the company withdrew from the project because of "aesthetic differences". Vintage Books purchased the rights to the novel and published the book after the customary editing process. The book was not published in hardcover in the United States until 2012, when a limited hardcover edition was published by Centipede Press, although a deluxe paperback was offered. Before its publication, Roger Rosenblatt of The New York Times approved of Simon & Schuster canceling the "worthless" book in a review called "Snuff This Book! Will Bret Easton Ellis Get Away With Murder?". Ellis received numerous death threats and hate mail after the publication of American Psycho. The Los Angeles Timess review—"the one good review in the national press", he said—resulted in "a three-page letter section of all these people canceling their subscriptions".

In the United States, the book was named the 53rd most banned and challenged book from 1990-1999 by the American Library Association.

In Germany, the book was deemed "harmful to minors" and its sales and marketing severely restricted from 1995 to 2000.

In Australia, the book is sold shrink-wrapped and is classified "R18" under national censorship legislation (i.e., the book may not be sold to those under 18 years of age). Along with other Category 1 publications, its sale is theoretically banned in the state of Queensland, and it may only be purchased shrink-wrapped. In Brisbane, the novel is available to those over 18 from all public libraries and can still be ordered and purchased (shrink-wrapped) from many book stores despite this prohibition. Ellis has commented on this: "I think it's adorable. I think it's cute. I love it". In New Zealand, the Government's Office of Film & Literature Classification has rated the book as R18 (i.e., the book may not be sold or lent in libraries to those under 18 years of age). It is generally sold shrink wrapped in bookstores.

Feminist activist Gloria Steinem was among those opposed to Ellis' book because of its portrayal of violence toward women. Coincidentally, Steinem is the stepmother of Christian Bale, who played Bateman in the film. This coincidence is mentioned in Ellis' mock memoir Lunar Park.

Phil Collins, whose solo career is referenced in the book, recalled: "I didn't read it. At the time, I just thought, 'That's all we need: glorifying all this crap. I'm not interested'. Then the film came out, and I thought it was very funny".

Connections to real-life crimes
A copy was found in possession of Wade Frankum, perpetrator of the 1991 Strathfield massacre. It was suggested that the novel had inspired Frankum.

During the trial of Canadian serial killer Paul Bernardo, a copy was discovered in Bernardo's bedroom. The Toronto Sun reported that Bernardo "read it as his 'bible, though it turned out it actually belonged to his wife and accomplice Karla Homolka; it is unlikely Bernardo ever read it.

During the Duke lacrosse case, a team member named Ryan McFayden sent a profane email to several of his teammates alleging he was going to kill and skin some strippers. The administrators asserted the email was an imitation of Bateman. McFayden subsequently received numerous death threats.

Adaptations

2000 film

In 2000, writer Guinevere Turner and writer/director Mary Harron adapted American Psycho into a dark, comic film released by Lions Gate Films in United States and Columbia Pictures in other territories. This screenplay was selected over three others, including one by Ellis himself. Bateman is played by Christian Bale with Willem Dafoe and Reese Witherspoon in supporting roles. As a promotion for the film, one could register to receive e-mails "from" Patrick Bateman, supposedly to his therapist. The e-mails, written by a writer attached to the film and approved by Ellis, follow Bateman's life since the events of the film. American Psycho premiered at the 2000 Sundance Film Festival where it was touted as the next Fight Club. The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) gave the film an NC-17 rating for a scene featuring Bateman having a threesome with two prostitutes. The producers excised approximately 18 seconds of footage to obtain an R-rating for the film.

It polarized audiences and critics with some showering praise, others scorn. Upon its theatrical release, however, the film received positive reviews in crucial publications, including The New York Times which called it a "mean and lean horror comedy classic". Ellis said, "American Psycho was a book I didn't think needed to be turned into a movie", as "the medium of film demands answers", which would make the book "infinitely less interesting". The film received generally positive reviews.

A direct-to-video sequel, American Psycho 2, was released and directed by Morgan J. Freeman. This film was not based on the novel or the original film, as its only connection with the original is the death of Patrick Bateman (played by Michael Kremko wearing a face mask), briefly shown in a flashback.

Other adaptations
In 2009, Audible.com produced an audio version of American Psycho, narrated by Pablo Schreiber, as part of its Modern Vanguard line of audiobooks. A Hungarian version of the novel was written by Attila Hazai (1967–2012) called Budapesti skizo ("Budapest Psycho", 1997); it was Hazai's best known work but as of his death never translated into English.

In 2013, a Kickstarter campaign was launched by Ellis and others to get a musical stage adaptation made. The premiere of the musical, with music and lyrics by Duncan Sheik opened at the Almeida Theatre, London in December. The role of Patrick Bateman was played by Matt Smith. In 2015, the musical was workshopped in New York, with Benjamin Walker re-assuming the role of Patrick that he had originally taken on in 2011. It premiered in early 2016, but closed on June 5 of that year after a run of only 54 regular performances. In the announcement, they cited "stiff competition" from more well-known musicals like Waitress, Shuffle Along, and Hamilton. A version of the musical is the focus of the musical episode titled "Chapter One Hundred and Twelve: American Psychos" of the sixth season from the series Riverdale.

In April 2021, Lionsgate Television chairman Kevin Beggs confirmed a TV series is in development.

Vila Koretz se nachází v lázeňské části Karlových Varů ve čtvrti Westend v ulici Petra Velikého 862/2. Pochází z roku 1876.

Historie
Vilu postavil stavitel Josef Koretz v roce 1876 a nazval ji svým jménem – vila Koretz. Stavební plány se však nedochovaly.

Po konci druhé světové války byla v rámci vyvlastnění soukromého majetku zestátněna.

V letech 2013–2014 došlo k rekonstrukci. Ta byla vzhledem k unikátnosti i stáří budovy náročná; stála 70 milionů korun. Realizovala ji karlovarská stavební firma Mudicon.

V současnosti (únor 2021) je vila evidována jako objekt k bydlení ve vlastnictví společnosti Anitram, s. r. o.

Popis
Objekt se nachází ve čtvrti Westend v ulici Petra Velikého 2, č. p. 862.

Stojí na pravidelném půdorysu. Nároží jsou okosená s mělkými rizality zakončené balkony. Vstup je situovaný na severní straně do rizalitu, který je zakončen volutovým štítem s trojúhelným frontonem. Na jižní straně vystupuje z půdorysu půlkruhové těleso schodiště. Okna v přízemí jsou zakončena půlkruhem, v patrech jsou obdélná s přímými nadokenními římsami. Po stranách dveří na balkon vstupního rizalitu jsou pilastry s korintskými hlavicemi; stejně jsou rámována i okna v nárožních rizalitech. Tytéž pilastry má apsida na schodišti. Fasáda jižní strany je v prvém patře zdobena motivy kruhů, ve druhém pak hlavami lvů. Římsy jsou bohatě profilované, korunní římsa je konzolová. Do mansardové střechy byly dodatečně přidány vikýře (plány na přístavbu mansard jsou až z let 1894–1895).

U vstupního průčelí bylo postaveno mohutné půlkruhové schodiště do zahrady s různými romantickými stavbami dřevěných loubí. Z těchto se však nic nezachovalo.

Hendrik Freerk Tillema (5 July 1870 in Echten26 November 1952 in Bloemendaal) was a colonial Dutch official, writer, and hygienist in the Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia).

Life
Tillema was born in 1870. Living in Semarang on Java in the Dutch East Indies, he was a pharmacist and social reformer. His program of "village improvement" () aimed to improve living conditions and health among the native Javanese as a necessary condition for the prolongation of Dutch rule over the colony. He worked with city doctor Willem Thomas de Vogel to try to develop healthier land in the nearby hills, relieving overcrowding and improving health among Semarang's poor, but was unable to sway the rest of the city council. The land he and de Vogel purchased was eventually used for Thomas Karsten's upscale residential district New Candi (), now Candisari. He died in 1952.

Roa ist Ortschaft in der norwegischen Kommune Lunner, Provinz (Fylke) Viken. Der Ort ist das Verwaltungszentrum von Lunner und liegt etwa 55 km nördlich von Oslo. Roa hat  Einwohner (Stand: ).

Geschichte
Bis Ende 2019 gehörte die Gemeinde Lunner der Provinz Oppland an. Diese wurde im Zuge der landesweiten Regionalreform aufgelöst und ging in die neu geschaffene Provinz Innlandet über. Lunner wurde allerdings nicht nach Innlandet überführt, sondern in die ebenfalls neu gegründete Provinz Viken eingegliedert, so dass Roa seit dem 1. Januar 2020 in Viken liegt.

Verkehr
Roa liegt an der Kreuzung der Europastraße 16 mit dem Riksvei 4. Bis 1985 stellte der Bahnhof in Roa einen wichtigen Eisenbahnknotenpunkt dar, da er auf der Route der Bergensbanen von Hønefoss nach Bergen lag. Der Bahnhof wird weiter von der Gjøvikbanen, die von Oslo nach Gjøvik verkehrt, angefahren.

Терри Дэвис (род. 15 декабря 1969, Милуоки, Висконсин, США — 11 августа 2018, Те-Далс, Орегон, США) — американский программист, создатель операционной системы TempleOS. В последние годы его жизни он собрал подписчиков в Интернете и регулярно публиковал видеоблоги в социальных сетях. Он часто называл себя «самым умным программистом из когда-либо живших». Страдал от шизофрении.

Образование
Будучи подростком, Дэвис изучил ассемблер на Commodore 64. Позже, он получил степень магистра электротехники в Университете штата Аризона и несколько лет работал в Ticketmaster программистом для машин VAX.

Создание операционной системы
Дэвис вырос католиком, но большую часть своей взрослой жизни был атеистом. Пережив самопровозглашенное «откровение», он заявил, что находится в прямом общении с Богом и что Бог повелел ему построить преемника Второго Храма. Десятилетие своей жизни он посвятил созданию операционной системы, смоделированной по образцу интерфейсов на базе DOS его юности, сначала назвав её «Операционная система J», а затем «LoseThos». В 2013 году Дэвис объявил о завершении проекта, который теперь получил название TempleOS. Сама операционная система обычно рассматривалась как система для хобби, не подходящая для общего использования, но Дэвис получил поддержку для реализации проекта.

Психические расстройства и смерть
Хотя Дэвис оставался адекватным при обсуждении вопросов, связанных с компьютером, его коммуникативные навыки были значительно затронуты его шизофренией. Он вызвал споры из-за того, что регулярно использовал расистский язык, который, как он объяснил, был его способом борьбы с участниками психологической войны. В 1996 году у него начались регулярные маниакальные эпизоды, один из которых привел к госпитализации. Первоначально у него было диагностировано биполярное расстройство, но позже было объявлено, что он страдает шизофренией. Он получал пособия по инвалидности и проживал в Лас-Вегасе со своими родителями до момента своей смерти. В течение последних месяцев он боролся с периодами бездомности и заключения. В 2018 году его сбил поезд и он скончался в возрасте 48 лет. Следователи не смогли определить, была ли его смерть самоубийством или несчастным случаем.

Eva Mozes Kor (Marca, 31 de janeiro de 1934 - Cracóvia, 4 de julho de 2019) foi uma sobrevivente do Holocausto. Ao lado de sua irmã gêmea Miriam, Kor foi enviada a experimentos humanos nazistas por Josef Mengele no campo de Auschwitz, durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial. Perdeu seus pais e duas irmãs no Holocausto e, juntamente com sua irmã, foram as únicas sobreviventes da família. Kor fundou a organização CANDLES, um acrônimo para Children of Auschwitz Nazi Deadly Lab Experiments Survivors, em 1984. Por meio deste programa, descobriu 122 sobreviventes de Josef Mengele.

Kor fundou a CANDLES Holocaust Museum and Education Center em 1995, com o intuito de educar publicamente sobre a eugenia, o Holocausto e o poder do perdão. Kor recebeu atenção internacional ao perdoar publicamente os nazistas e suas ações contra ela. A história é registrada no documentário Forgiving Dr. Mengele.

Kor morreu em 4 de julho de 2019, aos 85 anos de idade.

Vida
Eva Mozes nasceu em 1934, em Marca, na Romênia. Seu pai, Alexander, era latifundiário e sua mãe, Jaffa, agricultora. Alexander e Jeffa eram os únicos residentes judeus do local. Posteriormente, tiveram Edit, Aliz e as gêmeas Eva e Miriam. Em 1940, quando Eva e Miriam tinham seis anos, nazistas húngaros ocuparam a vila em que moravam. Em 1944, a família foi transportada para o gueto regional em Șimleu Silvaniei. Semanas depois, foram  transferidas para o campo de concentração de Auschwitz. Por serem irmãs gêmeas, foram selecionadas como parte de um grupo de crianças a serem utilizadas em experimentos humanos, sob a direção do médico nazista Josef Mengele. Aproximadamente 1.500 gêmeos foram submetidos a esses experimentos e a maioria morreu. Eva ficou doente, mas viveu e ajudou Miriam.

O Exército Soviético liberou o campo de concentração em 27 de janeiro de 1945. No local, encontraram cerca de 180 crianças e a maioria eram irmãos gêmeos. Após o resgate, foram enviadas para Katowice, na Polônia, cidade que estava sendo utilizada como um orfanato. Seguidamente, o Exército localizou Rosalita Csengeri, uma amiga da mãe de Eva cujas filhas foram utilizadas nos experimentos de Mengele. Csengeri assumiu a responsabilidade por Eva e Mirma, ajudando-as a retornar à Romênia após a liberação do campo. Depois da Segunda Guerra Mundial, Eva e Miriam passaram a viver em Cluj-Napoca, na Romênia, com sua tia sobrevivente Irena, onde estudaram e tentaram se recuperar de suas experiências em Auschwitz e se adaptar à vida sob o regime comunista. Em 1950, aos 16 anos, receberam permissão para deixar a Romênia e emigraram para Israel, chegando à cidade portuária de Haifa. Eva frequentou uma escola agrícola e, em seguida, alcançou o posto de sargento-mor no Corpo de Engenharia do Exército Israelense. Em 1960, casou-se com Michael Kor, um cidadão americano e sobrevivente do Holocausto.

Reconhecimento
Kor foi homenageada por quatro governadores de Indiana. Recebeu duas vezes o Sagamore of the Wabash Award e uma vez o Indiana's Distinguished Hoosier Award. Em 2017, recebeu o Sachem Award, sendo este último a maior honra do estado de Indiana. Em abril de 2017, Kor foi nomeada como Grand Marshal do Indianapolis 500 Festival Parade. Em maio de 2015, recebeu a condecoração Honrary Doctorate of Humane Letters pela Universidade Butler. No mesmo ano, recebeu o Wabash Valley Women of Influence Award, patrocinado pela United Way of the Wabash Valley, o prêmio Anne Frank Change the World Award da Wassmuth Center for Human Rights e o Mike Vogel Humanitarian Award.

The Highly Skilled Migrant Programme (HSMP) was a scheme from 2002 until 2008, that was designed to allow highly skilled people to immigrate into the United Kingdom to look for work or self-employment opportunities. It was different from the standard UK work permit scheme in that applicants did not need a specific job offer in the UK. It has now been replaced by Tier 1 (General) of the new points-based immigration system for those who are already living in the UK with HSMP and Tier 2 for those who are currently living outside of the UK or living in the UK in a different immigration category.

History
The Highly Skilled Migrant Programme was introduced on 28 January 2002. The scheme was significantly changed in two ways. First, with effect from 3 April 2006 (Immigration rule change - HC 1016) HSMP visa holders who were previously guaranteed settlement after four years now had to wait five years before applying for ILR. Secondly, on 7 November 2006 (with changes taking effect from 8 November 2006), with a points-based assessment for new applicants and those wishing to extend their stay (FLR) being introduced. This prompted protests, with many HSMP visa holders fearing that the retrospective nature of the changes will force them out of the UK, and the joint House of Commons and House of Lords Human Rights Committee criticizing the retrospective nature of the changes for breaching human rights legislation and finding that the case to revisit the retrospective nature of the changes was "overwhelming". The application of these HSMP changes to those already in the UK as HSMP holders as at 7 November 2006 was ruled as unlawful in a judicial review and the UK Border Agency subsequently honoured the FLR outcome of the judicial review, implementing a remedy which allowed impacted migrants, including those who left the country, to apply to have leave under the new points-based UK immigration system instated in place of their lost HSMP leave.

HSMP replacement: (Tier 1 General)
In March 2008, the HSMP programme was replaced by Tier 1 (General) of the new points-based immigration system. The system remains similar to the previous HSMP system, with additional points required for Maintenance/Savings, and additional points for English language ability.

HSMP and Indefinite Leave To Remain
HSMP Forum won the ILR Review on 6 April 2009. According to the High Court Decision, the HSMP visa holders who were admitted under the HSMP scheme before the April 2006 changes will now get the Indefinite leave to remain after 4 years as originally promised to them as per the terms valid at that time, but the HSMP visa holders who admitted after April 2006 changes will get it after 5 years as per new terms.

Points system
The HSMP system was a points-based immigration scheme, requiring a minimum of 75 points to qualify. From 8 November 2006 until closure points were awarded for educational qualifications (maximum of 50 points), past earnings based on a country banding system (45), age (20) and UK experience (5). Applicants also had to demonstrate English language ability and that they had sufficient funds to maintain themselves in the UK.

Rádiový orientační běh (dříve Hon na lišku, zkratkou ROB nebo ARDF – z anglického Amateur Radio Direction Finding) je radioamatérský sport velice podobný "klasickému" orientačnímu běhu, ale závodník na startu nemá v mapě zakreslené kontroly. Kontroly jsou v tomto případě rádiové vysílače, které musí závodník během závodu zaměřit a vyhledat pomocí rádiového přijímače. K tomu může použít i mapu nebo buzolu, naopak nesmí použít žádné komunikační nebo navigační zařízení (mobil, Global Positioning System)

Princip
Závody jsou většinou dvoukolové. Jeden závod probíhá s vysílači/přijímači v pásmu vlnové délky 80m (KV – 3,5 MHz), druhý v pásmu 2m (VKV – 144 MHz). Pro každé pásmo je specifický jiný druh šíření a odrážení elektromagnetických vln, proto i rádiové přijímače a taktika zaměřování a vyhodnocování je jiná. V pásmu 80m (krátké vlny) se signál šíří téměř přímo, nedochází k tak razantním ohybům, odrazům a únikům signálu jako v pásmu 2m (velmi krátké vlny).

Jednotlivé vysílače (kontroly) vysílají na jedné společné frekvenci v minutových intervalech a v pětiminutových cyklech svou identifikaci morseovou abecedou:
 0:00–0:59 vysílá kontrola č. 1 znak MOE (--/---/.)
 1:00–1:59 vysílá kontrola č. 2 znak MOI (--/---/..)
 2:00–2:59 vysílá kontrola č. 3 znak MOS (--/---/...)
 3:00–3:59 vysílá kontrola č. 4 znak MOH (--/---/....)
 4:00–4:59 vysílá kontrola č. 5 znak MO5 (--/---/.....)
 5:00–5:59 vysílá opět kontrola č.1

Na základě zaměření z několika bodů (např. při vyhledávání kontroly č. 2 si závodník průběžně zaměřuje i kontroly č. 4 a č. 5) vyhodnocení síly signálu, mapových podkladů si závodník sám určí pořadí vyhledávání jednotlivých kontrol. Po vyhledání všech předepsaných kontrol závodník přeladí přijímač na speciální frekvenci, kde vysílá trvale bez přerušení tzv. maják znak MO (--/---) u kterého se nachází cíl závodu. Počet vyhledaných předepsaných kontrol a čas v cíli pak určuje konečné pořadí.

Počet kontrol, který závodník vyhledává, je určen zařazením do věkové kategorie a úrovní závodu. Na okresních přeborech je to většinou méně než na celorepublikových. To vždy určuje pořadatel soutěže na základě rozpětí daného pravidly.

Druhy závodů

 Závod na klasické trati v pásmu 3.5 Mhz
 Závod na klasické trati v pásmu 144 Mhz
 Závod na krátké trati v pásmu 3.5 Mhz
 Závod na krátké trati v pásmu 144 Mhz
 Závod na dlouhé trati – kombinace obou pásem s určitým místem výměny přijímačů
 Závod ve sprintu – sestává z okruhu pomalých kontrol, divácké kontroly, okruhu rychlých kontrol a majáku, běhaný v pásmu 3.5 Mhz
 Závod ve foxoringu – používají vysílače s nízkým výkonem, které je slyšet v okruhu jen několika desítek metrů. Závodník musí najít oblast pokrytí signálem pouze za pomoci mapy (je vyznačena plocha přibližného pokrytí signálem) a konečné dohledání kontroly už provede klasicky přijímačem. Pro tuto variantu se používá pásmo 3.5 Mhz
 Závod štafet – sestává ze tří na sebe navazujících úseků, které běží jednotliví závodníci. Cílový čas je poté součtem všech časů.

Historie
Počátek tohoto sportu sahá do dvacátých let minulého století, kdy se na Bodamském jezeře konaly závody plachetnic. Na cíl se plachetnice naváděly radiovým signálem.

V ČR se rozšíření tohoto sportu dočkalo v 70. a 80. letech minulého století, především zásluhou organizace Svazarm, která chtěla do svých řad přitáhnout mladou generaci. Závody i pravidla se od současné podoby značně lišily. Vysílače vysílaly trvale každý na jiné frekvenci. Závodníci až na výjimky nepracovali s mapami a veškeré zaměřování prováděli pouze s přijímačem. Později se pro zvýšení nároků na závodníky rozdělilo vysílání do pětiminutových cyklů. Posléze došlo ke sjednocování s mezinárodními pravidly a vysílače začaly vysílat na jediné frekvenci po celou dobu závodu.

Dříve se také pro označení nalezené kontroly do závodníkova průkazu používaly barevné fixy (pro každou kontrolu jiná barva) zavěšené na anténách vysílače, čímž závodník v cíli prokazoval, že dané kontroly opravdu našel. Později fixy nahradily razicí kleště (známé z klasického orientačního běhu) a nyní se používají bezkontaktní čipy.

Varianty
Pořádají se i speciální druhy soutěží, které rozšiřují možnosti základního principu soutěže. Například je možno použít více než 5 vysílačů (vysílače vysílají na více frekvencích).

Zajímavé jsou také závody, kdy vzdálenost mezi vysílači je tak velká, že je možno a doporučuje se použít dopravní prostředek (automobil, kolo, motorka). V Praze se pravidelně před Vánoci pořádá tzv. "Praha liška", kdy jsou vysílače rozmístěny po celé Praze a závodník může využit jakéhokoliv prostředku (včetně MHD).

Častý je také tzv. handicap, kdy se startuje v pořadí a s odstupy, podle toho, jaké časy závodníci získali v závodě v předchozím pásmu. Do cíle tak dobíhají závodníci přesně v takovém pořadí, jaké je pak jejich konečné umístění. Tato variace se občas používá i v oficiálních mistrovských závodech.

Průběh závodu
Vzorový průběh závodu v ROB, pásmo 3,5 MHz (80ka), klasická trať.

Start: Závodník vystartuje na pokyn startéra/startovních hodin do startovního koridoru, začíná zaměřovat první kontrolu (obvykle kontrola číslo jedna) a snaží se  v průběhu následujících minut dostat co nejdále z tzv. startovního kolečka, které značí pásmo bez kontrol, většinou pokračuje ve směru startovního koridoru, jelikož ten by ho měl navádět přibližně ve směru první kontroly. Někteří stavitelé ale startovní koridory záměrně směřují jinam (na blízký kopec kvůli rozměření kontrol, či jen do různých směrů pro rozptýlení závodníků do prostoru).

Konec relace: Ke konci relace si závodník dělá na své mapě čáru ve směru záměru kontroly, tzv. zákres. Následně stejným způsobem měří a kreslí ostatní kontroly.

Pořadí: Dle hlasitosti signálu, pozice a zákresů se závodník snaží rozmyslet si pořadí, v kterém bude kontroly vyhledávat.

Běh na první kontrolu: Závodník se snaží co nejrychleji doběhnout na svou první (náběhovou) kontrolu, mimo její relaci pokračuje dle buzoly na rádiu. Při běhu neustále měří ostatní kontroly a dělá další zákresy – průsečíky zákresů ukazují předpokládané pozice kontrol.

Kontrola: Při doběhu na kontrolu závodník svým značkovacím zařízením (papírová karta, čip Sportident) značí průběh kontrolou a pokračuje na ostatní kontroly.

Maják: Po oražení poslední kontroly závodník přelaďuje rádiový přijímač na frekvenci majáku (cílové kontroly, která vysílá bez přerušení) a snaží se co nejrychleji doběhnout na maják. Jeho pozice je též uvedena v mapě.

Cíl: Po oražení majáku závodník pokračuje cílovým koridorem do cíle, kde mu je zastaven čas (v případě čipu elektronicky)

Vyčítání výsledků: V případě papírových karet pořadatel ručně spočítá čas a zkontroluje oražení, jinak jsou výsledky zpracovány elektronicky (programy typu Závody ROB, či OCM).

Piccola stella senza cielo è un brano musicale scritto e composto da Luciano Ligabue incluso in Ligabue, album d'esordio del cantante, pubblicato nel 1990.

La versione del 2003

Nel 2003, per la promozione dell'album Giro d'Italia, è stata registrata una nuova versione del brano e pubblicata come singolo.

Il video musicale
Il video per la versione 2003 è stato girato dal regista Giangi Magnoni a Venezia, soprattutto nei sestieri di Cannaregio e Castello (fa eccezione solo la ripresa del Ponte di Rialto), e segue le vicende di una bambina che gioca con una biglia di vetro per una città surreale e deserta, in cui le gondole fluttuano da sole a mezz'aria. L'ultima scena è ripresa nel Campo dell'Abbazia, un campo che si trova nel sestriere di Cannaregio vicino alla Sacca della Misericordia da cui in realtà non è possibile vedere il campanile di San Giorgio, aggiunto sullo sfondo in digitale, così come il bacino di San Marco, che si trova molto più a Sud.

Il videoclip è stato inserito nei DVD Secondo tempo del 2008 e Videoclip Collection del 2012, quest'ultima distribuita solo nelle edicole.

Formazione
 Luciano Ligabue - voce, chitarra e altri strumenti da sala
La Banda
 Federico Poggipollini - chitarre
 Mel Previte - chitarre
 Antonio Righetti - basso
 Roberto Pellati - batteria
 Fabrizio Simoncioni - tastiera, cori
Altri musicisti
 D.RaD – elettronica
 Mauro Pagani – altri strumenti

Cover
Nel 2003 è stata reinterpretata da Dolcenera e inserita nel suo album d'esordio Sorriso nucleare.

I z akcentem (Ѝ ѝ; italics: Ѝ ѝ) jest zazwyczaj przypisywana dźwiękowi [i]. Wariant ten jest używany, aby zaakcentować literę "и" w niektórych alfabetach używających cyrylicy, ale żaden z alfabetów nie uznaje jej za osobną literę, czy to nowożytny, czy archaiczny.

Języki południowosłowiańskie

Języki bułgarski i macedoński
Litera "ѝ" zazwyczaj jest używana w językach bułgarskim i macedońskim, aby odróżnić krótką formę dopełnienia pośredniego "ѝ" ( "jej") od spójnika "и" ( "i", "również") lub, rzadziej, do zapobiegać niejasności w innych podobnych przypadkach. Jeśli nie jest dostępny, znak "ѝ" jest często zastępowany zwykłym "и" (niezalecanym, ale nadal poprawnym ortograficznie) lub w języku bułgarskim literą "й" (formalnie uważany za błąd ortograficzny).

Język cerkiewnosłowiański
Od XVII wieku we współczesnej rosyjskiej rewizji Cerkiewnosłowiańskiej, "ѝ" i każda inna samogłoski ze znakiem diakrytycznym w postaci akcentu ostrego (ukośnej kreski), jest poprostu kolejnym ortograficznym wariantem tej samej litery z ostrym akcentem używanym na końcu słowa.

Język serbski
"Ѝ" (podobnie jak inne samogłoski z akcentem ostrym, grawisowym, daszkiem lub podwójnym grawisem) można opcjonalnie użyć w tekstach serbskich, aby pokazać jeden z czterech możliwych tonów sylaby akcentowanej. W przypadkach takich jak приѝкупити ("zbierać") kontra прику́пити ("kupić więcej") lub ѝskup ("odkupienie" "okup") vs. и̏skup ('spotkanie'), użycie znaków diakrytycznych może również zapobiec niejasności. W alfabecie łacińskim serbsko-chorwackim (Gajewica) wszystkie znaki akcentu/tonu są takie same: cyrylica "Ѝ" odpowiada łacinie "ì" itd.

Języki wschodniosłowiańskie
"Ѝ" i każda inna samogłoska z ostrym akcentem można znaleźć w starszych książkach rosyjskich i ukraińskich jako akcentowane warianty samogłosek regularnych (bez akcentu) aż do początku XX wieku, jak rosyjskie вѝна ("wina") kontra вина̀ ("wina"). Ostatnio typografie wschodniosłowiańskie zaczęły używać akcentu ostrego (ви́на) zamiast akcentu grawisowego (вина́) do oznaczania akcentu.

Akcenty są opcjonalne w językach wschodniosłowiańskich i są regularnie używane tylko w specjalnych książkach, takich jak słowniki, podręczniki lub podręczniki dla obcokrajowców, ponieważ akcent jest bardzo nieprzewidywalny we wszystkich trzech językach. Jednak w tekstach ogólnych znaki akcentu są rzadko używane, a to głównie w celu zapobieżenia niejednoznaczności lub pokazania wymowy słów obcych.

Niektóre współczesne słowniki rosyjskie używają akcentu grawisu do oznaczenia drugorzędnego akcentu w słowach złożonych, z ostrym akcentem dla głównego akcentu, jak жѝзнеспосо́бный [ˌʐɨzʲnʲɪspɐˈsobnɨj] ("żywy") (od жизнь [ˈʐɨzʲnʲ] "życie" i способный [ 'zdolny').

"Света Богородица Фанеромени" () е късносредновековна православна църква в южномакедонския град Бер (Верия), Егейска Македония, Гърция. Храмът е част от енория "Св. св. Петър и Павел" и е разположен до катедралата.

Църквата е издигната в XVI век. В архитектурно отношение е трикорабна базилика. Носи името си от иконата "Света Богородица Фанеромени", датираща от XIII век и разположена в диаконикона на храма. Тъй като е била енорийски храм, църквата е претърпяла множество интервенции и по-голямата част от оригиналните стенописи са загубени.

Оберек (полски oberek) е бърз полски народен танц, наричан още obertas или ober. Името oберек произлиза от "obracać", коeто на полски означава "да се върти". Това е най-бързият от петте основни полски танца и е възникнал от танца куевиак. Oберек е в тривременен такт с акцент на третото време на втория такт. Състои се от много завъртания, скокове и бързите стъпки подобни на мазурката. В началото на 20 век танца достига и до Америка, където го донасят и разпространяват полски емигранти. Там се превръща в социален танц на емигрантите, но стъпките и музиката са леко променени.
