Scotland as a Site of Nihilistic Sacrifice

Author(s):  
John Marmysz

In this chapter, the films The Wicker Man, Breaking the Waves, and NEDs are shown to illustrate Nietzsche’s stages of sacrifice leading toward total nihilism. These stages consist of the literal sacrifice of human beings to a god, the sacrifice of one’s own instincts to a god, and the sacrifice of God Himself. It is argued that in The Wicker Man and Breaking the Waves, the first two stages appear in conjunction with a view of sacrifice that is economical in nature. These films, set in rural Scotland, draw on the myths of Tartantry and the Kailyard, in order to evoke a time when the gods (or God) are still alive. In NEDs, the third stage of sacrifice is illustrated in conjunction with an aneconomical view of sacrifice that draws on the myth of Clydesideism in order to depict a modern world in which God has died.

The Katav-Ivanovsk transpression zone experienced at least two stages of tectonic deformations, and the sequence of deformations was approximately the same throughout the entire zone — from the Bakal-Satka fault in the south to the Suleimsky fault in the north. Three stages of the formation of parageneses were identified. The parageneses of the first and the second stages were formed in a pure shear environment, and the paragenesis of the third stage — in a simple shear environment. There are stylolites (S1) parallel to bedding, and mineral veins (V1) in the paragenesis of the first stage. Paragenesis of the second stage combines stylolites (S2), mineral veins (V2) and intergranular cleavage (S2). In paragenesis of the third stage were distinguished schistosity (S3), milonites (S3), cataclasites, mica packets (SC-textures), and the rotation structures of porphyroblasts.

The aim of this article is twofold. First, it collects and discusses the evidence that supports A. M. Belardinelli's identification of the speakers in lines 150–271 of Menander's Sikyonioi; her reconstruction can also be strengthened and improved upon in some important details. Further, a re-examination of line 169 allows for a new interpretation of the staging of the play: three stage doors need to be active, and the third stage building is a shrine which Eleusinios enters to take part in the sacrifice.

After the fall of the Conservative Government in February 1974, at the end of that period of incomes policy, the rise in average earnings in the UK went up to a figure of 30 per cent in the year to mid-1975. In the first stage of the incomes policy which followed, that figure was brought down to 14 per cent and in the second stage to 8 per cent. There can be no reasonable doubt that this deceleration was the consequence of the incomes policies adopted. None of the equations which have been put forward to represent the ‘normal’ movement of wage rates or earnings would have produced a deceleration of this kind. The third stage of incomes policy, now coming to an end, differed significantly from the first two. In the first two stages, the numerical limit set for earnings increases had the explicit backing of the General Council of the TUC. The third stage did not have this backing (although the General Council did support the twelve-month rule); it was left to the Government to try to hold the figure of a 10 per cent rise in average earnings, with a variety of ad hoc sanctions on employers who exceeded the figure, and with a number of exceptions for productivity agreements of varying degrees of genuineness. The resulting rise in average money earnings is likely to be of the order of 15 per cent.

Abstract Whether the author of Hebrews interpreted LXX Ps 8,5–7 as referring to humanity (the anthropological interpretation) or Christ (the Christological interpretation) has been widely debated. This essay strengthens the case for the Christological interpretation. After discussing the connections between Hebr 1,1–13 and 2,5–9, the article focuses on the citation and interpretation of LXX Ps 8,5–7 in Hebr 2,6–9. I contend that the author identified a three stage pattern in the psalm which he sees replicated in Jesus’ life. The next stage of the argument shows how in 2,10–18 the author only applies two stages to the lives of believers. Believers do not complete the third stage which indicates that, for the author of Hebrews, the psalm is first about Jesus and then applicable to humanity.

Cyberspace also brings about cybercrime, which is evolving along with the rapid progress of technology and internet. Captchars are used as a layer of security to prevent these crimes. It is a security mechanism designed to distinguish whether an entry is made by the user when entering a system and is used for protection against malicious bot programs. For this reason, it is important that the introduction is done by human or bot software.In this study, a safer Captcha combination test was presented based on Captcha types and Captcha studies. The proposed approach basically consists of three steps. In the first step, the user is asked to test with a simple text-based Captcha to avoid the difficulty of captcha testing. The second stage, when the first stage test is unsuccessful, offers a more complicated captcha test with text and picture. In the third stage, different-based captcha are presented which are more complex than the first two stages and will force the user. This approach makes it easier to distinguish the bot with the user, and the bot program's algorithm can be challenged with the variety of captcha combinations created. Extended English summary is in the end of Full Text PDF (TURKISH) file.ÖzetSiber dünyada, teknoloji ve internetin hızla ilerlemesi beraberinde gelişmekte olan siber suçları da getirmektedir. Güvenlik kodlar (captcha) bu suçları engellemek amacıyla oluşturulan bir güvenlik katmanı olarak kullanılırlar. Bir sisteme giriş yapıldığında girişin kullanıcı tarafından yapılıp yapılmadığının ayırt edilebilmesi için tasarlanmış bir güvenlik mekanizması ve kötü niyetli bot programlarına karşı korunma amaçlı kullanılır. Bu nedenle girişin insan mı yoksa bot yazılımı tarafından mı yapıldığı önem arz etmektedir.Bu çalışmada, Güvenlik kod (captcha) türleri ve yapılan Güvenlik kod (captcha) çalışmaları baz alınarak daha güvenli bir Güvenlik kod (captcha)  kombinasyon testi sunulmuştur. Önerilen yaklaşım temelde üç aşamadan oluşmaktadır. İlk aşamada kullanıcının Güvenlik kod (captcha) ile imtihanını zorlaştırmamak için metin tabanlı basit Güvenlik kod (captcha) ile test edilmesi istenmektedir. İkinci aşamada, ilk aşama testi başarısız olduğunda metin ve resim tabanlı daha zorlaştırılmış Güvenlik kod (captcha) testi sunulmaktadır. Üçüncü aşamada ise ilk iki aşamadan daha karmaşık ve kullanıcıyı zorlayacak farklı tabanlı Güvenlik kodu (captcha)  sunulmaktadır. Bu yaklaşım ile kullanıcı ile bot ayırımı daha kolay yapılabilmekte ve oluşturulan Güvenlik kodu (captcha)  birleşim çeşitliliği ile bot programlarının algoritmasına meydan okunabilmektedir.

Dr. de Montyel gives the results of his investigations on the sixth of the reflexes which he undertook to study in general paralysis. The discrepancies noticed in the conclusions of many other observers are attributed to their studying patients in various stages; in all researches of this nature it is indispensable to follow the only method susceptible of furnishing data which may be compared with one another,—that is, following up and examining the same patients from the onset to the termination of the disease. Out of 104 cases of general paralysis this method was satisfactorily carried out in the case of thirty only, the others having succumbed either in the first or second stage; 680 satisfactory observations were made, and the results of these are carefully tabulated. The following are some of the author's general conclusions:—Accommodation is more often abnormal than normal in general paralysis; exaggeration of the reflex is rare; diminution is twenty-four times more frequent—abolition being slightly more common than simple diminution. The reaction is nearly always equal on the two sides; in a few rare cases one finds normal accommodation on one side and abolition on the other. In the early stage only does one find normal accommodation more frequent than abnormal; but in the second, and more so in the third stage, abnormality is the rule. Abolition is commoner in the late stage. In more than a third of the remissions there was abnormality. Certain differences in the accommodation reflex are found in the various forms of the disease; it is more often and more profoundly altered with conditions of excitement. As regards the ætiology the reflex was always found abnormal in traumatic general paralysis; next in frequency (i. e. after abnormality of reflex) comes the alcoholic form. Alteration of the reflex is common with cases at the extreme ages of incidence of the disease (after fifty and below thirty). Accommodation was more often and more profoundly affected in the first two stages of general paralysis in proportion to the impairment of motor power. The investigation of the accommodation reflex on account of its frequent and early alterations may be helpful in the diagnosis of doubtful cases, but it affords no indication as to the slow or rapid evolution of the disease.

In this paper, the formation of cylindrical wormhole during evolution of manifolds is studied. It is shown that this type of wormholes may be produced at two stages and then disappeared very fast at the third stage. First, one [Formula: see text]-dimensional is formed by joining point-like manifolds. Then, this manifold is torn and two child manifolds plus one Chern–Simons manifold appeared. Our universe is born on one of the child manifolds and connected to the other one by Chern–Simons manifold. At the third stage, this Chern–Simons manifold-which plays the role of cylindrical wormhole, dissolves into universes and gives its energy to them and causes inflation. Thus, the Chern–Simons cylindrical wormhole is unstable and dissolves in our four-dimensional universes and another universe very fast.


Every process of transformation—human, institutional, or community—begins with the stage of consciousness. Can we evolve without being fully aware of what we want to achieve? Of course! However, this implies going as a wind vane, waiting for the wind to indicate the direction to follow, with the respective risks and consequences of lack of control or defocusing. A second step involves making decisions, which implies risk, which generates fear, which ultimately paralyzes the decision-making processes; preparing ourselves consciously for this stage is highly relevant. The third stage, action, involves a lot of discipline; the problem with this is that comfort also paralyzes us as human beings. This is perhaps the biggest challenge to overcome. Transited the previous three, evolution involves two different types of challenges: 1) how to continue adding value to what we have achieved and 2) how to restart the cycle reinventing us again and again. This chapter explores these beginning steps.

This article considers two Stackelberg games in which a state-owned firm competes against a foreign labour-managed firm. The first game is as follows. In the first stage, the state-owned firm decides whether to offer lifetime employment as a strategic commitment device. In the second stage, the foreign labour-managed firm decides whether to offer lifetime employment as a strategic commitment device. In the third stage, both firms simultaneously and independently choose actual outputs. The structure of the second game is nearly identical and differs only in the order in which the firms decide on the offer of lifetime employment in the first two stages. This study presents the equilibrium outcomes of these two Stackelberg games.

School as an institution where children get education, teaching and learning so that the school produced a superior human beings and qualified. Kartasura PCM is one of the flagship PCM in PDM Sukoharjo have elementary school level that has been known in the community, namely: MIM PK Muhammadiyah Kartasura, MIM Pucangan, Kertonatan MIM, MIM Gonilan and SDIT Al Kawthar Makamhaji Kartasura. The current fifth that grade school has a good reputation in the community. This community service aimed to increased awareness of the environment from all components of school at Muhammadiyah Elementary schools in PCM Kartasura. The first stage wasthe policy workshop school by school leaders and teachers, the second was distribute the grant of trash cans and posters, the third stage wasparticipatory education of Hole Infiltration Biopori and the fourth stage was monitoring. Monitoring results found that posters used as it should be, but the trash cans are still not being used properly, placement of trash cans were not side by side and still foundedthe organic waste mix with an organic waste in the same trash cans. This community service is an initial step the realization of school basedeco-school
