The offer comes with two conditions, namely that in addition to the normal print and distribution, the undertaker must order a large number of copies for own purposes, and that the purchase of the magazines will be at a significant discount if the undertaker in turn gives Laarmans a discount for the embalming services.The undertaker agrees.Boormans, who is looking for a new assistant, hires Laarmans and sends him out in search for new customers.
Mrs. Lauwereyssen, the owner of a business in elevators, is interested.In addition to the copies of the magazine distributed by Boormans, she agrees to purchase a further 100,000 copies for own purposes.Laarmans then finds out the "World Magazine" is a fraud, in that the magazine is not distributed to the public, but only the copies purchased by the featured company exist.
The magazine does not have any subscribers and is, in effect, merely an expensive advertising brochure using unproven figures and fake competitors.Only the information of the customer is "valid", although it too is also based upon lies and twisted figures.It turns out Mrs Lauwereyssen only placed the order as her company is almost bankrupt.
She now hopes to become an international awarded entrepreneur.The extra money she is about to earn will be used for acute surgery on her infected leg.Laarmans feels sorry for Mrs Lauwereyssen and tries to convince her not to sign the contract or to reduce the amount of obliged prints, but is not able to convince her.
Later he speaks with Boormans in an attempt to void the contract or to reduce the price and Boormans agrees that Mrs Lauwereyssen can pay the invoice on 12 month terms.In meantime Mrs Lauwereyssen is aware she has been swindled.She is so upset she refuses not to pay last instalment.
Some time later, Boormans and Laarmans meet Mrs Lauwereyssen at the market.Her leg has been amputated.Boormans feels remorse and makes up tells her there has been a calculation error and offers 32,000 Belgian francs as a credit note.
However, Mrs Lauwereyssen does not want to take the money.A dismayed Boormans decides to give the money to Mr Van Kamp, another customer he cheated, and who is now in financial problems.Van Kamp also refuses Boormans money.
Boormans conscience continues to trouble him and he sues Mrs Lauwereyssen in an attempt to force her to take the money.The judge dismisses the case as there is no evidence that Mrs Lauwereyssen paid too much.Some time later the elevator company becomes bankrupt.
When Boormans and Laarmans attend an auction, Boormans, still having moral qualms, bids 32,000 Belgian francs for a worthless piece of paper.Laarmans resigns and starts a shop selling cheese.He meets Mrs Lauwereyssen who forgives him, as she feels that she should have known the magazine was a fraud.
Furthermore, when she signed the contract she knew that her leg was not able to be saved and that an amputation was inevitable.The film ends when Laarmans meets Boormans in a museum.Boormans intends to talk the curator into taking 1.5 million copies for the next release of the "World Magazine".
WWF Royal Rumble (1993 video game) WWF Royal Rumble is a professional wrestling video game released by Acclaim Entertainment in 1993 for the Super NES and Sega Genesis.Like its predecessor, "WWF Super WrestleMania" it is based on the World Wrestling Federation (WWF).
It features a variety of match types, including the newly added Royal Rumble match.The game's roster consists of wrestlers who were top stars in the WWF at the time, and each version of the game has five exclusive playable characters.The game boasts several new features, including an on-screen meter grappling meter and steel chairs that can be used as weapons.
"Royal Rumble" also adds a variety of new moves, including illegal tactics such as choking and each wrestler's signature finishing moves.The game was followed up with the Sega Mega-CD release "WWF Rage in the Cage" and a direct sequel, "WWF Raw.
""WWF Royal Rumble" carries over the "tug-of-war" style grappling system from the previous game, this time adding an on-screen meter to show who has the advantage in a grapple and how close they are to executing a move.
Players may strike their opponent with steel chairs found outside the ring.After knocking the referee temporarily unconscious, one may use illegal tactics such as choking and eye raking.To better avoid losing via count out, wrestlers may also roll into the ring from the bottom side; ring entry was previously only possible through the left and right sides.
In addition adding more moves to the basic moveset (including the body splash, knee drop, backbreaker, and atomic drop), "WWF Royal Rumble" includes signature finishing moves for each wrestler.
"Mega" placed the game at #40 in their Top Mega Drive Games of All Time.In a One-on-One match, two wrestlers (one player versus the computer or two players) square off for a face-to-face bout.
One Fall, Brawl, and Tournament variations are available.One Fall matches feature an in-ring referee and are contested under standard rules.Victory is achieved by a 3-count pinfall or a count-out if a wrestler stays outside of the ring for a full 10 count.
In a Brawl, however, the referee is absent.This allows unlimited time outside the ring and illegal moves such as eye raking and choking are allowed at all times.The Brawl match doesn't require a pinfall to win; instead, the first player to be entirely drained of his stamina submits in defeat.
In a Tournament, a player must battle through the entire roster in a series of One Fall matches to win the championship belt.A Tag Team match is made up of two teams of two wrestlers (if two players are involved, they can choose to either control opposite teams or be on the same team against the computer).Whenever one wrestler gets tired, they can tag in their partner.
A wrestler on the apron can grab an opponent if they get close to the ropes, allowing their partner to attack them.One Fall, Brawl, and Tournament configurations are available.The same rules for the singles One Fall and Brawl matches apply to tag team matches.
In the tag team Tournament mode, either one player or two cooperative players will choose two wrestlers to form a team and then must defeat the remaining wrestlers in a series of One Fall tag team matches to win the tag team championship.A Triple Tag Team match is similar to a Tag Team match, except instead of two wrestlers to a team, there are three wrestlers on each team.Only one partner for each team appears on the apron at a time.
The player can switch outside partners by pressing a button.One Fall and Brawl options are available (with one player or two players head-to-head), with the same rules as singles and tag team matches.The Royal Rumble begins with two wrestlers, and more adversaries enter until six wrestlers are in the ring.
Additional wrestlers enter as others are eliminated.There are no holds barred, and elimination occurs when a wrestler is thrown out of the ring.A wrestler must be worn down before they can be thrown out, unless they're caught running with a hip toss or knocked off of the top turnbuckle.
The last wrestler remaining in the ring after all twelve have entered wins the match.At the end of a Royal Rumble, score rankings are shown giving a wrestler's total time in the ring along with a list of opponents they eliminated.The SNES and Genesis versions were released three months apart, with each version having several exclusive wrestlers.
The two versions share seven wrestlers
Tyrone Prothro Tyrone Prothro (born May 24, 1984) is a former American football wide receiver who played for the University of Alabama between 2003–2005.Tyrone was an all state selection as Junior (2001) and Senior (2002).
As a Junior, Tyrone played in the 2001 AHSAA Super Six 4-A Championship in 2002 they lost to State Champion UMS-Wright.In 2002, his senior year, Tyrone led Cleburne County back to the 4-A Semi-Finals where they lost to the North Jackson Chiefs.Prior to the 2005 season, Prothro was named second-team All-SEC for return specialist and, despite his injury, was named to the second-team All-SEC for wide receiver at the end of the season.
Prothro won an award for Best Play at the 2006 ESPY Awards, as well as the Pontiac Game Changing Award of the Year for his outstanding catch, labeled by many as "the Catch", in which he caught the ball behind the head of Southern Mississippi's Jasper Faulk on a long pass from quarterback Brodie Croyle right before half-time in the game on September 10, 2005 in Bryant–Denny Stadium.Prothro's catch helped the Tide defeat Southern Mississippi 30–21.This play also has been rated by "The Best Damn Sports Show Period" as the Eighth Greatest Catch of All Time.
It was the highest ranked college play on the list, and ranked even higher than such memorable plays as "The Catch".In August 2008, Prothro received his bachelor's degree in the College of Human and Environmental Sciences.Prothro suffered a gruesome and ultimately career-ending injury in a game against the Florida Gators on October 1, 2005.
Prothro made a leaping attempt to catch a pass from Brodie Croyle.As Prothro came back down to the turf, Florida Gators cornerback Dee Webb, while attempting to break up the pass, landed on Prothro's lower left leg which snapped it completely in half.This resulted in a complete break of Prothro's tibia and fibula.
During the game's broadcast, play-by-play announcer Verne Lundquist compared the injury to former NFL quarterback Joe Theismann's infamous leg break suffered during a Monday Night Football game in 1985.After 11 extensive surgeries, doctors were not able to repair Prothro's leg to the extent of furthering his playing career.On August 3, 2007, he was placed on a medical hardship scholarship and taken off the football roster with coach Nick Saban saying there was no way Prothro could play again.
Prothro has worked for Regions Bank, an Account Manager for Coca-Cola, and a Toyota dealership in Tuscaloosa.On July 27, 2016, it was reported that Tyrone Prothro was hired by the Carolina Panthers as an intern coach for training camp, working with his former head coach and current offensive coordinator Mike Shula.He is now back in Tuscaloosa working at Wagners.
He served as Grand Marshal for the Homecoming game against Ole Miss on October 16, 2010.Prothro is a plaintiff in "O'Bannon v. NCAA", an anti-trust suit against the NCAA that went to trial in 2014.In June 2017, Prothro was hired as a WR coach and JV Basketball Coach at Spanish Fort High School in Spanish Fort, Alabama.
Thomas Willmore Thomas James Willmore (16 April 1919 – 20 February 2005) was an English geometer.He is best known for his work on Riemannian 3-space and harmonic spaces.
Willmore studied at King's College London.After his graduation in 1939, he was appointed as a lecturer, but the onset of World War II led him to working as a scientific officer at RAF Cardington, working mainly on barrage balloon defences.During the war, he found the time to write his Ph.D. on relativistic cosmology, and gained his Ph.D. on "Clock regraduations and general relativity" as an external student of the University of London in 1943 .
In 1946, he was given a lectureship at the University of Durham.He wrote an influential book with Arthur Geoffrey Walker and HS Ruse entitled "Harmonic Spaces" in 1953.He left Durham in 1954 for the University of Liverpool to join Walker, after a supposed dispute between Willmore and a Durham colleague who refused to order German textbooks after being wounded in World War I.
In 1965, Willmore returned to Durham, where he was appointed Professor of Pure Mathematics.He was elected Vice President of the London Mathematical Society in 1977, a post he held for two years.During that time, he was elected a member of The Royal Academies for Science and the Arts of Belgium.
Willmore retired from the University of Durham in 1984 after holding the position of Head of the Department of Mathematical Sciences on three separate occasions, covering most of his Professorship there.He was given an honorary degree from the Open University in 1994.A sculpture by Peter Sales was unveiled at the university 13 March 2012.
Shalem Center The Shalem Center (, "Merkaz Shalem") was a Jerusalem research institute that supported academic work in the fields of philosophy, political theory, Jewish and Zionist history, Bible and Talmud, Middle East Studies, archaeology, economics, and strategic studies.In its mission statement the Center wrote that "It seems that the entire Jewish people is suffering from an identity crisis", making its purpose to "provide a proper response to these processes".
Due to the prestige the center was able to acquire, with time renowned academics of different political orientation have joined the ranks of its faculty.The center became Shalem College in January 2013, when it received accreditation from the Council of Higher Education to offer Bachelor's degrees.The Shalem Center was established in 1994 by the young American Jewish scholar Yoram Hazony as a think tank “intended to confront what he saw as the dangers posed by post-Zionism”, financed by conservative funders in the USA.
Hazony had served as Benjamin Netanyahu’s ghost writer and was one of his advisers.In March 2009, the Shalem Center filed an application with the Council for Higher Education in Israel for the opening of an institution of higher learning that would be authorized to grant B.A.degrees in the liberal arts.
Noted scholar of the Middle East Martin Kramer has been chosen to serve as the first president of Shalem College, slated to open in the fall of 2013.Past fellows include Daniel Gordis, Asher Crispe, Yossi Klein Halevi, Martin Kramer, Ze'ev Maghen, Michael Oren, Natan Sharansky, and former Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff Moshe Ya'alon.David Keyes worked at the center.
Shalem's research programs supported scholarship in the areas of philosophy, political theory, Jewish and Zionist history, Bible and Talmud, Middle East Studies, archaeology, economics, and strategic studies.Shalem was also home to Shalem Press, one of Israel's leading academic publishing houses.The press specializes in the translation into Hebrew of classic and modern works of Western philosophy.
The Center also conducted educational programs at the post-doctoral, undergraduate, and high-school levels for students from Israel and abroad.The newly created Shalem College will offer an Israeli B.A.modeled on the American liberal-arts degree.
Top Israeli and overseas applicants will pursue a unique core curriculum, combining the study of the great texts of Western and Jewish thought.Students will choose a major at the end of their first year.Initially, the college will offer two majors
Between 1996 and 2011, the Center published the quarterly journal "", and between 2005 and 2009, it published "Hebraic Political Studies" a peer-reviewed scholarly journal.
"Azure" (published in Hebrew as "Techelet") was the largest-circulation general interest journal in Israel.The Center's publishing house, Shalem Press, publishes classics of Western democratic thought in Hebrew translation, as well as works of Jewish thought in English.
The Center began to receive significant support from Sanford (Zalman) Bernstein and the Tikvah Fund in 1996.In 2007, the Sheldon Adelson Family Foundation announced a $4.5 million grant to enable the creation of the "Adelson Institute for Strategic Studies" at the Shalem Center, to be headed by Natan Sharansky.The Institute closed in 2009, with the departure of Sharansky to head the Jewish Agency.

FIFA World Ranking system (1999–2006) The FIFA men's ranking system 1999–2006 is a calculation technique previously used by FIFA for ranking men's national teams in football (soccer).The ranking system was introduced by FIFA in 1999, as an update to an earlier system, and was replaced after the 2006 World Cup with a simplified system.
The rankings were fundamentally the same as a league system, though on a much larger, and more complex scale.Each team could potentially win a certain number of points in each match, though the number of points awarded in a league system depends solely on the result of the match, in the FIFA rankings far more had to be taken into account, as every team does not play all of the other teams home and away every season, as in most league systems.After the awarding of points, the teams were then organized into descending order by number of points, with the team with the most being the highest ranked.
The points allocated did not depend solely on whether a team wins, loses or draws their match, but also on the importance of the match and the strength of the opponent.A win over a weak opponent resulted in fewer points being awarded than a win over a much stronger one.This meant that a match would not result in the two or three points for a win and one for a draw, as is standard in most national league competitions.
The calculation was more complex since it had to incorporate the other aforementioned factors.One of the changes that was introduced when the ranking system was revised in 1999 was dubbed the "scaling up", where the points on offer for a match were roughly multiplied by ten, with the addition of more factors.In the 1999–2006 system teams could receive between zero and thirty points for a single match, and the leaders of the rankings had over eight hundred points.
The rankings were intended by FIFA to give a fair ranking of all FIFA member associations' senior men's national teams.For the ranking all matches, their scores and importance were all recorded, and were used in the calculation procedure.Only matches for the senior men's national team were included – separate ranking systems were used for other representative national sides, such as the women's and junior teams, for example the FIFA Women's World Rankings.
FIFA did not use the same formula to determine its rankings for women's football.The women's rankings were based on a procedure which was a simplified version of the Football Elo Ratings.For the purposes of calculating the importance of matches, each match was divided into one of six categories.
Competitions that were not endorsed by the appropriate continental association of FIFA were counted as friendlies.Each category was given appropriate weighting in the calculation in order to correctly include the importance.The six categories were
Points were awarded according to the following criteria
In any football ranking system, a win will bring more points than a draw or a loss.Until July 2006, however, FIFA believed that awarding points simply on the basis of win, draw or loss, would not meet the requirements of a reliable and accurate world ranking system.The calculations took into account the relative strengths of the two teams.
This resulted in more points being awarded for beating a stronger opponent than for beating a relatively weak one.It also enabled weak teams to earn points despite a defeat if they managed to play well (i.e.they scored goals, or there was low margin of defeat), though this was a small number and did not secure as many points as the winning team.
In the event of a match being decided on penalties, the winners received the correct points for the victory.The losers received points for the draw which they earned in normal time.When calculating the points, the number of goals was taken into consideration, and the distribution of the points between the two teams was also affected by their relative strengths (i.e.
the lower ranked a team was in comparison to its opponent, the more points it received for a goal scored), and as well as points being given for goals scored, they were deducted from the total for conceding goals.In order to encourage more attacking football, points given for goals scored were weighted far more heavily than the deduction as a result of conceding, though most teams were more concerned with the tournament or match at hand than their position in the world rankings.When a match was decided on penalties, only those goals scored in playing time were included in the total.
To prevent "overweighing" goals, and huge numbers of points being given in runaway victories, far more weighting was attached to the initial goal by each team, and progressively fewer points for any subsequent ones.This was done on the principle that the goals scored were important but the most important factor was the win or loss, as in normal championship games.To allow for the extra handicap incurred by playing away from home, a small bonus of three points per match was awarded to the away team.
For tournaments played on neutral territory, but with a home team, such a World Cup Finals, there were no bonus points given.The relative game importance was also considered when calculating the points.The method for incorporating this into the totals points allocation was by multiplying the match points by a predetermined weighting.
These factors were
The weightings were applied in the form of multiplication factors for teams from the same continent.If teams from two different confederations were involved in one match then the factor applied was the average of the two continental weightings.For 2005, weighting factors ranged from 1.00 for UEFA teams to 0.93 for OFC teams.
Based on the above considerations, the total number of points credited to a team after a match depended on the following criteria
Here are some calculation examples to show the formula being used.For simplicity in this instance it is assumed that three teams of different strengths are involved in a small friendly tournament on neutral territory.
"Note
Before the tournament the three team have the following point totals
Team B versus Team C (both teams approximately the same strength) When the difference in strength between the two teams is less, so also the difference in points allocation will be fewer.The following table shows how the points would be divided following the same results as above, but with two roughly equally ranked teams, B and C, being involved
Secondly, the importance attached to previous results would be interpreted differently.In order to ensure that an increased number of fixtures in a given season did not give a team more potential points, the rankings only considered a limited number of results.This number was determined by deciding how many fixtures in a season an "averagely active team" would participate in.
This was agreed to be between seven and ten matches a year.In order to prevent teams with more fixtures than this being given an advantage, the calculation initially considered only the best seven results of a team.To include further results an average of them must be calculated.

Josep Feliu i Codina Josep Feliu i Codina (also known by his Spanish name José Feliú y Codina) (11 June 1845 – 2 May 1897) was a Catalan journalist, novelist and playwright whose work is linked to the Realist movement and to the Catalan Renaixença.Codina was born in Barcelona in May 1845.
An affiliate of the "Partit Liberal Dinàstic" (Liberal Monarchist Party), he took a law degree in 1867 and worked in several administrative posts for the party.He also began his literary career at that time, initially writing in Catalan.In 1867, he founded the weekly periodical "La Pubilla".
A year earlier, he had produced his first comedy "Un mosquit d'arbre" (A Mosquito Tree), and in 1871 his first serious play, "Els fadrins externs" (The Strange Companions).He also collaborated (under the pseudonym "Josep Serra") on several plays by Frederic Soler.During his time in Barcelona he went on to write several more plays and novels, and founded two more periodicals, "Lo Nunci" and "La Jornada".
In 1886, Feliu i Codina moved to Madrid where he became fluent in Spanish.He was the editor "La Iberia" and also wrote for "El Rhin", "La América", "La Revolución", and "La Democracia".Once in Madrid, much of his dramatic output was written in Spanish.
Two of his most well-known plays from that time are "La Dolores" (1892) which formed the libretto for Tomás Bretón's 1895 opera of the same name and "María del Carmen" (1896) which formed the libretto for Enrique Granados's 1898 opera, "María del Carmen".Both plays had several film adaptations.
"María del Carmen" was also the basis of a Broadway musical, "Spanish Love", which opened on 17 August 1920 at the Maxine Elliott Theatre in New York City and ran for 308 performances.
In addition to his own plays and novels, he translated into Spanish a collection of tales by the Italian Renaissance writer, Matteo Bandello, and several short stories by the French novelist and playwright, Honoré de Balzac.Feliu i Codina's brother, Antoni Feliu i Codina (1846–1917), was a prominent politician and man of letters.Both brothers wrote for the Catalan literary magazine, "Un troç de paper".
