www.geocities.com review.

2Do you believe in coincidence ? Maybe things happen for a reason"

"The heart of the movie doesn't necessarily lie in what is behind the crop circles, it's something more enriching. It isn't a story that follows a formula, it doesn't take advantage of the audience by giving them gore or visual distractions. Because what Shyamalan chooses to do is draw on the one thing that can be in your corner when making a film like this.  Audience anticipation, and imagination. The less you show the better. I think we've become so conditioned by formulated movies that something like this catches us off guard. It is not meant to be like "Independence Day"..thank god. "Signs"  has a lot of symbolism.  It's a very intelligent story, the sub-plot is merely the sci-fi element to which the story expands around."

"Are we alone out there? Well, maybe we aren't ever really alone."

"Scientist cultivate date palm from 2,000 year old seed"

Donald Macintyre

"The fortress of Masada on the Dead Sea, where archaeologists unearthed ancient seeds."

"The plant which has grown to almost 12" came from a seed found during excavations at the ancient desert fortress of Masada where 960 Jewish zealots committed suicide rather than surrender to the Romans AD 73.

"We think that ancient medicines from the past can be the medicines of the future."

LIVING BY THE NILE

"The entire way of life in ancient Egypt depended on the River Nile which flows through Egypt from South to North."

"BLACK LAND and RED LAND"

"The Egyptians called their country

'KEMET'

which meant

'BLACK LAND'

This was the narrow strip of fertile river bank along the nile. Beyond that was 'Red Land' or Deshret'

(from which we get our word desert)

LIVING BY THE NILE

"Those who see the Nile when it surges tremble the meadows laugh and the river's bank are flooded. The gods offerings descend. the faces of the people are bright and the hearts of the gods rejoice!"

Spell 581 from the

OLD KINGDOM PYRAMID TEXTS

2350 BC.

DIAGNOSIS OF MAN

Kenneth Walker 1943

Page 139

"Karma-yoga is the form of yoga that, if it were available, would be most applicable to European and American conditions of life. The principles that it inculcates would not only eliminate that state of fear and anxiety in which nine out of ten of us live, but actually increase the efficiency of the active life to which we are inevitably committed."

"nine out of ten"

"Nine in ten career women would put family before work"

"More than nine out of ten career woman would rather spend more time with their families than be promoted

"Injured man dies after six-hour 999 delay in sending ambulance "

"A MAN died after police and ambulance crews took six hours to respond to 999 calls that he was lying unconscious in a street"

"He dialled 999 and told Staffordshire Ambulance Service..."

"It is not clear why the ambulance service did not send paradamedics after the first 999 call."

 

 

REACH FOR TOMORROW

Arthurc C. Clarke 1956

Introduction

"Unlike authors of so-called mainstream fiction, the. writer of science fiction has the responsibility (often an embarrassing one) of confronting his readers every decade or so, to report on how his ideas have stood the test of time. This, of course, is one excellent reason for setting stories in the very distant future. Then there's no need to explain - or to apologize.
In the case of this volume, much of which was conceived, if not written, almost half a century ago, I'm happy to find relatively few embarrassments. However, I have made some interesting discoveries; for instance, on the very first page of the very first story, I see the number 9000. I've no idea why I selected it again for HAL's serial number, twenty years later. . .

Page 90

THE AWAKENING

"Twenty miles away to the west, rainbow-hued in the sunlight, the upper peaks of the artificial mountain that was City Nine floated above the clouds."

 

 

OF TIME AND STARS

Arthur C. Clarke 1972

THE NINE BILLION NAMES OF GOD

Page 15 (Number omitted)

This is a slightly unusual request,' said Dr Wagner, with what he hoped was commendable restraint. 'As far as 1 know, it's the first time anyone's been asked to supply a Tibetan monasterf with an Automatic Sequence Computer. 1 don't wish to be inquisitive, but 1 should hardly have thought that your - ah - establishment had much use for such a machine. Could you explain just what you intend to do with it?'
'Gladly,' replied the lama, readjusting his silk robes and carefully putting away the slide rule he had been using for currency conversions. 'Your Mark V Computer can carry out.any routine mathematical operation involving up to ten digits. However, for our work we are interested in letters, not numbers. As we wish you to modify the output circuits, the machine will be printing words, not columns of figures.'
'I don't quite understand...'
'This is a project on which we have been working for the last three centuries - since the lamasery was founded, in fact. It is somewhat alien to your way of thought, so 1 hope you will listen with an open mind while 1 explain it
'Naturally:
'It is really quite simple. We have been compiling a list which shall contain all the possible names of God
'I beg your pardon?'

Page 16

'We have reason to believe/ continued the lama imper­turbably, 'that all such names can be written with not more than nine letters in an alphabet we have devised.'
'And you have been doing this for three"centuries?'
'Yes: we expected it would take us about fifteen thousand years to complete the task.'
'Oh,' Dr Wagner looked a little dazed. 'Now I see why you wanted to hire one of our machines. But what exactly is the purpose of this project?'
The lama hesitated for a fraction of a second, and Wagner wondered if he had offended him. If so, there was no trace of annoyance in the reply.
'Call it ritual, if you like, but it's a fundamental part of our belief. All the many names of the Supreme Being - God,
Jehova, Allah: and so on - they are only man-made labels. There is a philosophical problem of some difficulty here, which I do not propose to discuss, but somewhere among all the possible combinations of letters that can occur are what one may call the real names of God? By systematic per­mutation of letters, we have been trying to list them all.'
'I see. You've been starting at AAAAAAA . . . and work­ing up to ZZZZZZZZ . . .'


INTO THE COMET

Page 68

"Pickett's fingers danced over the beads, sliding them up and down the wires with lightning speed. There were twelve wires in all, so that the abacus could handle numbers up to 999,999,999,999 - or could be divided into separate sections where several ndependent calculations could be carried out simultaneously."

 

 

RAMAH II

Arthur C. Clarke & Gentry Lee 1989

Page 9

"Again humanity looked outward, toward the stars, and the deep philosophical questions raised by the first Rama were again debated by the populace on Earth. As the new visitor drew nearer and its physical characteristics were more carefully resolved by the host of sensors aimed in its direction, it was confirmed that this alien spacecraft, at least from the outside, was identical to its predecessor. Rama had returned. Mankind had a second appointment with destiny."

Page 178 (number omitted)

"Cosmonaut Wakefield is remarkably well adjusted"

"Wakefield knew more than any member of the faculty..."

"Wakefield exhibits none of the anti social behaviour..."

"...Wakefield and rubbed her eyes."

" '"It is time to sleep in Rama,' she intoned. She looked up and around her. The lights in this amazing world came on unexpectedly about nine hours ago, showing us in more detail the elaborate handiwork of our intelligent cousins from across the stars.' "

"Did God make the colours?."

" "You know,' he said at length to Cosmonauts Wakefield and. . . "

"Wakefield was engrossed"

"But all nine sections are not absolutely the same

"...Wakefield, standing up with a satisfied smile"

THE MAGIC MOUNTAIN

THE THUNDERBOLT

Page 715

"There is our friend, there is Hans Castorp! We recognize him at a distance, by the little beard he assumed while sitting at the " bad" Russian table. Like all the others, he is wet through and glowing. He is running, his feet heavy with mould, the bayonet swinging in his, hand. Look! He treads on the hand of a fallen comrade; with his hobnailed boot he treads the hand deep into the slirny, branch-strewn ground. But it is he. What, singing? As one sings, unaware, staring stark ahead, yes, thus he spends his hurrying breath, to sing half soundlessly:

" And loving words I've carven
Upon its branches fair-"

He stumbles, No, he has flung himself down, a hell-hound is coming howling, a huge explosive shell, a disgusting sugar-loaf from the infernal regions. He lies with his face in the cool mire, legs. sprawled out, feet twisted, heels turned down. The product of a perverted science, laden with death, slopes earthward thirty paces in front of him and buries its nose in the ground; explodes inside there,. with hideous expense of power, and raises up a fountain high as a house, of mud, fire, iron, molten metal scattered fragments of humanity. Where it fell, two youths had lain, friends who in their need flung themselves down together - now they are scattered, commingled and gone.
Shame of our shadow-safety! Away! No more!-But our friend? Was he hit? He thought so, for the moment. A great clod of earth struck him on the shin, it hurt, but he smiles at it. Up he gets, and staggers on, limping on his earth-bound feet, all unconsciously singing:

"Its waving branches whiispered
A message in my ear - "

and thus, in the tumult, in the rain, in the dusk, vanishes out of our sight.
Farewell, honest Hans Castorp, farewell, Life's delicate child!
Your tale is told. We have told it to the end, and it was neither short nor long, but hermetic
. We have told it for its own sake, not for yours, for you were simple. But after all, it was your story, it befell you, you must have more in you than we thought; we will not disclaim the pedagogic weakness we conceived for / Page 716 / you in the telling; which could even lead us to press a finger delicately to our eyes at the thought that we shall see you no more, hear you no more for ever.
Farewell - and if thou livest or diest! Thy prospects are poor. The desperate dance, in. which thy fortunes are caught up, will last yet many a sinful year; we should not care to set a high stake on thy life by the time it ends. We even confess that it is without great concern we leave the question open. Adventures of the flesh and in the spirit, while enhancing thy simplicity, granted thee to know in the spirit what in the flesh thou scarcely couldst have done. Moments there were, when out of death, and the rebellion of the flesh, there came to thee, as thou tookest stock of thyself, a dream of love. Out of this universal feast of death, out of this extremity of fever, kindling. the rain-washed evening sky to a fiery glow, may it be that Love one day shall mount?
