MIRANDA RIGHTS

Nota informativa: Eso que vemos en las pelis, en casi toooodas las putas pelis de policías y ladrones, se llaman los Miranda Rights.

Aqui les dejo el link para que sepan más sobre el tema.
Si los apañan, úsenlos.

"You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to speak to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed to you. Do you understand these rights as they have been read to you?"

SCAPHISM

Chequen esto.
Es una tortura mortal de la antigua grecia, que quiere decir, algo asi como escarbado desde dentro.

Asi murió Artaxerxes por haber matado a Cyrus el Joven. Dicen que duró 17 días antes de morir.

¿Esta fuerte, no?


Scaphism
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search

Scaphism, also known as the boats, was an ancient Persian method of execution designed to inflict torturous death. The name comes from the Greek word skaphe, meaning "scooped (or hollowed) out".

The naked person was firmly fastened within a back-to-back pair of narrow rowing boats (or a hollowed-out tree trunk), with the head, hands, and feet protruding. The condemned was forced to ingest milk and honey to the point of developing severe diarrhea, and more honey would be rubbed on his body in order to attract insects to the exposed appendages. He or she would then be left to float on a stagnant pond or be exposed to the sun. The defenseless individual's feces accumulated within the container, attracting more insects, which would eat and breed within his or her exposed and increasingly gangrenous flesh. The feeding would be repeated each day in some cases to prolong the torture, so that dehydration or starvation did not provide him or her with the release of death. Death, when it eventually occurred, was probably due to a combination of dehydration, starvation and septic shock. Delirium would typically set in after a few days.

In other recorded versions, the insects did not eat the person; biting and stinging insects such as wasps, which were attracted by honey on the body, acted as the torture.

Death by scaphism was painful, humiliating, and protracted. Plutarch writes in his biography of Artaxerxes that Mithridates, sentenced to die in this manner for killing Cyrus the Younger, survived 17 days before dying.[1]

WIKIDUMPER

Gracias Eduardo. Está buenísimo el link.
Hay demasiadas entradas buenas. Como el ajedrez para tres personas o ésta que les pongo abajo, estoy seguro que a muchos de ustedes les va a gustar. Podríamos agregar 3:19 la película Mexicana de Dany Saadia que también es de un matemático (trae muy buena animación canadiense) y música del guey de Cocteau Twins.

En fin, no se por qué sacan esos artículos de la wiki, algunos creo que por tener puntos de vista religiosos, otros por ser estrellas porno (como quitan esos, por Dios), y otros simplemente no sé. Trato de encontrar el patrón pero no lo logro, además que me parecen mucho más interesantes que los de la misma Wiki.


Por cierto, wikipedia anunció que ya no permitirá al público hacer correcciones a los artículos, ahora se basará en un montón de expertos que contrató.

De todas formas la wiki, a pesar de ser corregida por el público, traía menos errores que la enciclopedia británica. (o eso dicen).

Buen lunes.

Por cierto, vi Saw 2, sigue estando buena! Aunque prefiero la 1.

¿Alguien sabe si la que viene será la última?



List of films about mathematicians
This is a list of feature films that include a mathematician (or scientist who uses a lot of math) as one of the main characters.

To Sir, with Love (1967) - Engineer Mark Thackeray (Sidney Poitier) becomes a teacher. Straw Dogs (1971) - David Sumner (Dustin Hoffman) is an American mathematical physicist who moves to England, where he and his wife are violently harassed by locals. It's My Turn (1980) - A mathematics professor (Jill Clayburgh) falls in love with her father's bride's son (Michael Douglas). Stand and Deliver (1988) - Based on the true story of math teacher Jaime Escalante, who inspired the students in a school in a Hispanic neighborhood. Sneakers (1992) - An eclectic team is assembled to steal a code-breaking box developed by a rogue mathematician.
I.Q. (1994) - Albert Einstein (Walter Matthau) helps a young man (Tim Robbins) pretend to be a physicist in order to catch the attention of Einstein's niece (Meg Ryan). Antonia's Line (1995) - A genealogical "line" of five generations of women includes a child prodigy, Thérèse, who grows up to be a mathematician. Infinity (1996) - A story about Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman (Matthew Broderick). The Mirror Has Two Faces (1996) - A math professor (Jeff Bridges) marries a literature professor (Barbra Streisand), but they want different things from the relationship. Good Will Hunting (1997) - Janitor Will Hunting (Matt Damon) begins to turn his life around with the help of a psychologist (Robin Williams) and a Fields Medal-winning professor (Stellan Skarsgård). Pi (1998) - A mathematician searches for the number that underlies all of nature. A Beautiful Mind (2001) - A fictional account based loosely on the life of mathematician John Nash (Russell Crowe), who made a breakthrough that wins him the Nobel Prize in economics. Enigma (2001) - A story of romantic and psychological intrigue set in Bletchley Park during the World War II effort to crack the German Enigma machine. 21 Grams (2003) - An accident changes many lives, including that of a critically ill mathematics professor (Sean Penn). Proof (2005) - A former student (Jake Gyllenhaal) of a recently deceased, brilliant mathematician (Anthony Hopkins) finds a notebook in his office containing a proof of an important theorem, but the mathematician's daughter (Gwyneth Paltrow) claims it is hers. The ensuing dispute is complicated by signs that she may have inherited her father's mental illness and a burgeoning romance. Raising Genius (2004) - The film is about a boy (Justin Long) who locks himself in the bathroom to work out math equations on the shower wall.

POLIAMOR

Pues a continuación les presento un nuevo término, (al menos para mi) , que me presentó mi amiga Tere.
Al parecer, aunque suena muy sencillo, está bastante complicado de llevar a cabo según una psiconalista que hablaba del tema.
La típica vecindad en donde se dan todos contra todas pero a sabiendas. Supuestamente debe haber solamente involucramiento amoroso con una de las parejas, pero esto resulta de que (como dicen en GDJ) que es imposible.
A lo mejor Tere puede elaborar ya que ella participó en la discusión.

El Poliamor: (en el link está el wiki completo)

A continuación, la definición actual de Morning Glory otorgada a solicitud del editor del Diccionario Inglés Oxford para incluir este término, aunque actualmente no aparece inscrito.

“La práctica, estado o habilidad para tener más de una relación amorosa, sexual, simultánea, con el pleno conocimiento y consentimiento de todos los amores involucrados.”

Los dos ingredientes esenciales del concepto poliamor son “más de uno” y “amor”, esto es, se espera que más de dos personas puedan en un mismo tiempo, estar relacionadas amorosamente e involucradas en sus vidas y cuidado mutuo, en dimensiones múltiples. Este término no aplica para meras relaciones sexuales casuales, orgías anónimas, pernoctas, amoríos, prostitución, monogamia seriada, u otras definiciones populares de intercambio de pareja (“swinging” en inglés).

El término pretende ser incluyente. En este sentido, incluye todas las orientaciones sexuales (heterosexuales, homosexuales y bisexuales), y no intenta excluir particularmente a los adeptos al "intercambio de pareja", si éstos acogen el término para incluirse en él.

Hasta donde sabemos, el intercambio de pareja no involucra “engaño” pero, a diferencia del poliamor, no implica enamoramiento con sus relaciones externas. Sin embargo, al hablar con algunos activistas de esta corriente hemos sabido que muchos de los intercambiadores de pareja llegan a involucrarse estrechamente con sus múltiples amantes, y a ser amigos y amantes regulares.
