Neil Harbisson (27 July 1982)[7] is a Catalan-raised, Northern Ireland-born contemporary artist, composer and cyborg activist best known for his self-extended ability to hear colours and to perceive colours outside the ability of human vision.[8] In 2004 he became the first person in the world to wear an eyeborg.[9]

<3200 words about fixing up a tourist site>

As a certain number of former visitors became attracted to the idea of showing others round the Fortress, we began to hold courses for guides. This proved an excellent solution, benefitting not only the new guides but also the “older” guides who were doing the teaching. The young guides also undertook practical training, in company with the regular guides, allowing them to see that no two groups are identical and how group management is achieved. For us it is essential that our visitors return home feeling that their day has been worthwhile, that as a minimum, we have lived up to their expectations. We depend on word-of-mouth publicity, which our visitors provide. This is why we train our guides so thoroughly.

nearly 10000 words on animes that haven't been published outside of Glorious NIppon, by people who don't know the word "oceanographer"

quote:

Stone Ocean (ストーンオーシャン Sutōn Ōshan?), initially referred to as Dai 6 Bu Kūjō Jolyne: Stone Ocean (第6部 空条徐倫 ―『石作りの海』(ストーンオーシャン) Dai Roku Bu Kūjō Jorīn Sutōn Ōshan?, lit. "Part 6 Kūjō Jolyne: Stone Ocean"), is the sixth story arc of the Japanese manga series JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, written and illustrated by Hirohiko Araki. It was published in Weekly Shōnen Jump from 2000 to 2003 and was collected into 17 tankōbon volumes (volumes 64 to 80 of the entire series), unlike the previous parts of JoJo it starts the volume count over at number one and all subsequent parts have followed this trend. It was preceded by Vento Aureo and followed by Steel Ball Run.
...
In this story arc, Jotaro is an oceanologist, having moved to the United States, eventually married, and his daughter Jolyne inherits Stand powers. But she also inherits the tradition of adventures that Jotaro tends to get entangled in. She also adopts an outfit style similar to his at one point due to her fascination and respect for her father.
...

After Jolyne wins the bet, Milaschön makes a higher bet which entices Hermes, who takes part in the higher bet. Hermes' guilt from cheating awakens Milaschön's Stand Marilyn Manson (マリリン・マンソン Maririn Manson?), who attacks her by taking her money from her breasts, a gold tooth, and her liver. Jolyne makes another bet with Milaschön for Hermes' well-being and to return everything back to her. Milaschön exposes that she's been cheating since the beginning and that she was promised her probation if she could get her father's stand disk from Jolyne. Despite going as far as to cheat to win, Milaschön was still able to come close to getting the disk from Jolyne before she has the conditions of the bet repeated to her, and then suffers several strikes from Jolyne's baseball with Stone Free's quick strikes.
Lang Wrangler (ラング・ラングラー Rangu Rangurā?)
Lang Wrangler is in jail for hijacking and murder (stabbing a female professor sixty-nine times), Lang Wrangler is a calculating inmate, wearing ridiculous clothing to prepare for his stand's ability to negate the gravity by suctioning to the walls like an octopus. He also demonstrates arrogance by thinking that he is stronger than Whitesnake and could take him out as well. His Stand Jumpin' Jack Flash (ジャンピン・ジャック・フラッシュ Janpin Jakku Furasshu?) takes the form of a suit that allows Wrangler to remove the gravitational pull on objects.
Sports Max (スポーツ・マックス Supōtsu Makkusu?)
Sentenced to 5 years in prison due to tax evasion and assault, Sports Max is a car dealer by profession but is in fact a gang member. Hermes wants him dead for the murder of her sister. After being stalked and killed by Hermes, he uses his Stand Limp Bizkit (リンプ・ビズキット Rinpu Bizukitto?) to make himself an invisible zombified version of himself before initiating combat against her. After a hard-fought fight (which featured Jolyne and critically injured F.F.) Hermes defeats Sports Max with her stand. His ability of reviving dead objects enables him to revive Dio's bone after Pucci requests it.

"oceanology" is a real word but to my knowledge (based on an oceanography course in my freshman year and cursory googling) it's just a spergy reaction to the development of marine science over the centuries beyond mapping the seas. even wikipedia gives it only passing acknowledgement.

As long as the game delivers a fun pay off, consumers consider it a relevant and valid cultural experience.[citation needed] In recent brand-impact studies, associating a brand with the fun of gaming is known to lift brand metrics such as brand awareness, message association and purchase intent. After playing a game, consumers are more likely to remember not just the brand or product itself, but to associate specific brand attributes with it.

The advergame industry is expected to generate $312.2 million by 2009, up from $83.6 million in 2004, according to Boston research firm Yankee Group.

When you see letters mixed with numbers and arithmetic, like x2+2x-7, there is a good chance that it is a polynomial.

Some differential equations can be solved exactly, and some cannot. Sometimes one can only be estimated, and a computer program can do this very fast.

Pi or is a mathematical constant, one of the first ever discovered. It is the ratio of the distance around a circle to the circle's diameter. This produces a number, and that number is always the same. However, the number is rather strange.

Boolean algebra is algebra for binary (0 meaning false, or 1 meaning true). It uses normal maths symbols, but it does not work in the same way.

Cohomology is something in higher math which is used to solve math problems. When there is an item which a mathematician doesn't know enough about, he or she can make a cohomology out of it using a machine. The mathematician then takes objects he or she knows more about, puts them into the same machine, and looks at the objects which have a cohomology like the first item.

Background [edit]

Tesla Boy teased us in 2009 with two spectacular EPs but that was just the appetiser. It’s now 2010 and the main course, 'Modern Thrills' is ready to be served.

It’s the album they had to make; it’s the album that only they could make. Consolidating their position as the greatest pop band in the world today. They may well be the music industry’s best-kept secret outside of their native Russia but 'Modern Thrills' sees them set to tear through the iron curtain and into a Western World salivating for their synth-pop banquet. There is no cashing in on the eighties revival. There is no cynical marketing to target demographics. This is Tesla Boy. This is what they do. They make 100% distilled pop music direct from their soul.

On ‘Modern Thrills’ they still deliver the thumping dance-floor fillers that got you moving before but they also pull it back with touching and emotive performances like the heart-string wrenchingly beautiful ‘Speed Of Light’ - a track that penetrates deeper into your conscience on every single play. Rarely can a band make such strong bonds with mind, body and soul in their work.

Elsewhere their neon lights shine upon 'Thinking Of You' - it's beats will move your feet whilst the sweeping synths will tickle your endorphins into life. Their boundless potential and maturing sound is never more perfectly realised than on the haunting love song 'Rebecca' - which substitutes euphoria for poignant as it soundtracks a million love-story showreels in your mind.

It’s an album that plays end-to-end perfectly with a well constructed and thought through track listing but also every track has hit-single written all over it. Punch the random play button and you are guaranteed a classic. Tesla Boy are a young and good looking band ready to soundtrack your life and adorn heavily postered teenage walls. If Smash Hits was still going, Tesla Boy would be on the front cover every week![1]

Reception [edit]

Modern Thrills has received generally favorable reviews, and is rated highly among fans.
