SUBSCRIBE/UNSUBSCRIBE CONTACT US AMERICAN KINGDOM? While the big news for Lars von Trier this week was finally cajoling Nicole Kidman to sign on to star in his next film, "Dogville," it was also announced that ABC is ready to remake von Trier's mini-series, "The Kingdom." The surreal hospital-based story from 1994 is revered by von Trier's fans internationally, but the addition of Stephen King as both the series writer and executive producer will ensure a strong US audience. Meanwhile, von Trier is preparing for "Dogville," which will be shot on a soundstage at Sweden's Trollhatten studio on a bare set, allowing the enigmatic director to focus completely on characters, lighting and sound.

It's also about time-honored traits such as charisma, rhythm and an ineffable quality perfectly poised somewhere between utter sincerity and deadpan parody. Fast Eddy Take the Black Raven: last year's blonde conqueror of the Air Guitar World Championship looks like a well-combed, girlish Hanson brother, but only until the music starts. Then he's a whirling dervish of strumming virtuosity, commanding the stage with defiant, single-minded intensity and dangerous, hair-swinging head gyrations. The Black Raven (18-year-old Markus Vainionpaa) returned to this year's Air Guitar World Championship to defend his title against 17 other players in the increasingly famous event held in the small, quaint town of Oulu, Finland. Now in its sixth year, the championship coincides with Oulu's Music Video Festival, a showcase of both Finnish and international music videos that takes place every August RES was on hand to present Cinema Electronica, as were Syd Garon and Eric Henry who screened their celebrated "Wave Twisters," and taught several animation workshops.

Mobius Strip
  • It has only one side. You can verify this by following one side twice around the loop. It has only one edge. Verify this in the same way. Cut the strip in half along its length, and you get one loop, not two. This loop has two twists in it. Cut this loop in the same way, and you get two interlocking loops.
Some computer printer ribbons are in the form of a Mobius strip, so the printer will use both sides of the ribbon. Actually they use the top edge, and go all the way around the loop twice before the ribbon is used once. Addendum: On the right is an invention of mine, a Mobius pentagram. It is a Mobius strip (it has only one side and one edge), but it is weaved with itself as well. So it is not quite as simple as the true Mobius strip. Return to my Mathematics pages

August Survey Finds "Enormous Potential" for Growth in Religious Investing
A national opinion survey sponsored by MMA Praxis Mutual Funds found that of the more than 1,000 investors surveyed nationwide by Opinion Research International in late June, 36% said they incorporated their faith with their finances at least part of the time. An additional 20% said they would do so if they knew how. Four out of five survey respondents said they didn't know religious-oriented mutual funds existed. The majority of these investors said they would be inclined to invest in religious funds once they learned more about them. Out of 15, 573 open-ended mutual funds in the US, 43 have a religious orientation, according to Lipper Inc. With 8 out of 10 respondents describing themselves as religious or spiritual, there appears to be room for considerable growth. The top five corporate ethical issues were the same for religious and non-religious investors:

Total Content Management Solutions (dude?)
Document Management Announced today, Mobius a DM product from New York-based Mobius Management Solutions has achieved "pole position" in Gartner's "Magic Quadrant for IDARS" (Integrated Document Archive and Retrieval System) study. Some excerpts from the article: Gartner has rated Mobius in the leadership quadrant for the past 12 years. According to the Gartner report, Mobius leads because of its scalability, platform support and strong execution across multiple IDARS applications including report distribution, bill presentment and customer self-service. "Historically a leader in IDARS, Mobius plans to enter the comprehensive content management market . This decision confirms Gartner's research that IDARS is part of most enterprises' content management plans," the report states. Oh and in case you're wondering what "TCM" is, this definition is from the Mobius.com website: "A total content management system is an integrated set of software facilities that capture, manage, store and deliver diverse content that supports e-business processes and internal operations - from supply to demand and from design to support."

A Brief Introduction To The Islamic (Hijri) Calendar
1. HISTORY AND MOTIVATION The Islamic Calendar, which is based purely on lunar cycles, was first introduced in 638 C.E. by the close companion of the Prophet (PBUH) and the second Caliph, `Umar ibn Al-KHaTTab (592-644 C.E.) RAA. He did it in an attempt to rationalize the various, at times conflicting, dating systems used during his time. `Umar consulted with his advisors on the starting date of the new Muslim chronology. It was finally agreed that the most appropriate reference point for the Islamic calendar was the Hijrah.
The actual starting date for the Calendar was chosen (on the basis of purely lunar years, counting backwards) to be the first day of the first month (1 MuHarram) of the year of the Hijrah. The Islamic (Hijri) calendar (with dates that fall within the Muslim Era) is usually abbreviated A.H. in Western languages from the latinized Anno Hegirae, "in the year of the Hegira". MuHarram 1, 1 A.H. corresponds to July 16, 622 C.E. The Hijrah, which chronicles the migration of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) from Makkah to Madinah in September 622 C.E., is the central historical event of early Islam. It led to the foundation of the first Muslim city-state, a turning point in Islamic and world history.
To Muslims, the Hijri calendar is not just a sentimental system of time reckoning and dating important religious events, e.g., Siyaam (fasting) and Hajj (pilgrimage to Makkah). It has a much deeper religious and historical significance.
