The Bermuda triangle

It's about a place that traditionally ( deserved or not ) is the most horrible, most horrible place the world. '. It disappeared without a trace many ships and planes - most of them after '45. It killed more than a thousand people. However, if you search failed to find any corpse or a fragment. ' With these words begins the description of the mysterious Bermuda Triangle in the American writer B. Berlitz, this phrase is now pleased to quote both opponents and supporters of the hypothesis of the existence between Florida, Cuba and Bermuda some strange mysterious place, in other words - the anomalous zone.

STRANGE AND MYSTERIOUS LIGHTS OF ACCIDENT.

The sailors of different call. The Bermuda triangle.
' triangle of death ', ' the sea, bringing trouble ', ' Atlantic graveyard '. For many centuries, travelers are suddenly caught in a mysterious calm, then in a sudden fierce storms. Even Christopher Columbus, being in this part of the ocean, wrote in his logbook that the team noticed a special on the water, emitting light spots. This is a mysterious glow - light spots on the water, covered with foam, - and today is regularly observed. Sometimes this glow is so strong that it can be seen even from space. American astronauts, started on ' Apollo 12', reported that during the launch of the Bermuda Triangle they had seen an unusual flickering. Strange calms, sudden storms and whirlpools - all this told the brave souls who had been in the danger zone. As well as on the incomprehensible failure of all devices, wildly spinning compass, local weather deterioration, confusing pilots. On the mysterious changes in the environment, warned the mysterious yellow fog that shrouded the horizon.

Bermuda Triangle is sometimes a real physical threat to unwary navigators at sea and in air. As it is one of two places on earth where the compass needle points not on the magnetic pole of the planet. As a result, ships and aircraft can move in the wrong direction, and their team and not know it. Perhaps that is why even the marine life here is not for me: the fishermen have repeatedly seen the strange sight - fish floating belly up.

Hypotheses and assumptions.

Representatives of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric U.S. society published a report: ... Richard Weiner, author of the popular book called ' Devil's Triangle ', he wrote: ' There's a mystical place, strange things. I believe that they are not always explained by errors of people and devices, the breakdown mechanism, the whims of the weather and magnetic anomalies '. Explanations for UFO expert John Wallace Spencer wrote a popular book at least ' Threshold of extinction ', seem to be even more fantastic. Spencer argues that at the bottom of the ocean founded their colony of aliens from outer space. ' For his research - he writes - these highly intelligent beings use the missing ships, aircraft and their crews. Of course, my hypothesis seems implausible, but this is probably the only explanation for all these cases '. Theories as to: aliens from outer space when it comes to the Bermuda Triangle, there are increasingly. Many argue that all these ships and planes have been stolen more UFOs than sunk. UFO reports often say, after investigations by the Marine Department Commissions. Time one of the hearings heard these words about the missing American bombers: ... However, the message is often referred to Ham, who had heard on the radio the voice of a frightened one of the five pilots disappeared: ' Do not walk behind me - they look like aliens from outer space '. This post has been intrigued by Charles Berlitz, a graduate of Yale University. He was just fascinated by the legends of the lost Atlantis and adapted one of them to explain the phenomenon of the Bermuda Triangle. Berlitz is the theory that Atlantis was once a giant in the solar crystal, which is now found on the ocean floor. 'This is a crystal - - ​​Berlitz claims - and sends false signals to vessels and aircraft, and sometimes draws them into the depths of the ocean '.

' Ghosts '.

His infamous Bermuda Triangle acquired back in 1840, when close to the port of Nassau - the capital of the Bahamas - was found a French ship ' Rosalie ', was found in the drift. He raised all the sails, had all the necessary equipment, but the ship's crew was missing. This seemed very strange. After inspection it was found that the vessel is in excellent condition, has no damage to the cargo intact. But where the crew was gone? .

The very name ' Bermuda Triangle ' was once invented by Vincent Gaddis, American writer, author of a book about the mysteries of the sea. He wrote: ' Draw a line from Florida to Bermuda, then - to Puerto Rico and back to Florida through the Bahamas. That's the Triangle and occurs most of the wrecks '. Well and reporters tried to make the name of ' Bermuda Triangle ' has become synonymous with the description of the many shipwrecks and disappearances. However, this does not explain many mysteries associated with the mysterious and dangerous ' triangle '. Get at least a British frigate ' Atlanta ', sailed in January 1880 from Bermuda to England with a crew of 290 people, most of whom were young trainees. The ship disappeared without a trace, the most thorough search yielded nothing. Six British Navy ships patrolling the area where the disappeared ' Atlanta ', at a distance of one mile of each other. Search continued for four months, but no trace of the disaster was not found. In 1881godu cargo ship ... On board this strange ship discovered a cargo of mahogany, but no trace of the team was not. Cargo ship captain could not believe such luck. He decided to take a derelict ship in tow, and sent him to his people. Suddenly there came a strong squally wind. Ships thrown apart, and the schooner was lost from sight. Two days later, on ' Ellen Austin ' again saw the ill-fated schooner, slowly drifting in the sea. Sent back before the sailors were dead. But the story of the mysterious ship did not end. Captain ' Helen Austin ' to whatever was set out to get a schooner loaded with expensive. But once again broke out a storm and a mysterious ship with the new people on board, sent by the captain, again out of sight. At this time, forever.

The first of the mysterious history of the XX century was the disappearance in 1918 of U.S. support ship ' Cyclops '. March 4 this masterpiece of engineering length of 500 feet and a displacement of 19, 5 tons sailed from Barbados in the Caribbean Sea in Norfolk. When the ' Cyclops ' team of 309 people and a valuable cargo of manganese ore was gone, all decided that it hit a German mine and was destroyed by a submarine: The First World War was. However, access was given to the German military archives, this assumption had to be rejected. Careful study of the documents showed that neither low nor the German military submarines on the route of the vessel was not. On the day of the disappearance of the ship was perfect weather, the excitement of the sea was a small, weak winds. All that rejects the assumption of a shipwreck during a storm. Reported to the Navy: ... Over time, in an area called the Bermuda Triangle, it was observed more cases of a very strange. In 1925 an American freighter disappeared, setting off from Charleston to Havana. The following year, did not arrive at their destination cargo ship. In 1931, disappeared along with the crew of a Norwegian freighter. He was last seen south of Cat Island, one of the Bahamas. In 1932 Bermuda was found south of the schooner 'John and Mary '. Her sails were neatly folded, but the board was not a single person. In 1944 the Cuban cargo ship ' Rubicon ' was found drifting off the coast of Florida. On board was a dog. All these vessels were completely different. They differ in the number of cargo, size, age. But all have disappeared under similar circumstances: either one of the ships did not pass on the radio signal 'SOS', while radios were on all ships and, in addition, at the time of their disappearance in these areas, there was no storm. Not even the most careful search in the waters of the Bermuda Triangle did not explain reasons for the disappearance of these ships and their crews. The only exception is the case with a Japanese cargo ship ' Rayfuku Maru '. In winter 1924 he sent a chilling message, being somewhere between the Bahamas and Cuba. Radiograms were the last words are: ' The risk is incredibly high. rather. We can not escape. ' Nobody ever knew that this was a risk. Even more mysterious is that the ship, hurrying towards the ' Rayfuku Maru ', hearing the call for help in that area did not find anything: neither the wreckage nor bodies. It was another victim of the Bermuda Triangle.

One could go on about the mysterious cases of disappearance ( and death?) Ships in that area, because since the beginning of the century there were about fifteen. But suddenly in the Bermuda Triangle began to disappear. aircraft. In early December 1945 with a naval air base U.S. forces in Fort Lauderdale in Florida, the flight departed five torpedo bombers such as ' Avenger '. Back to the base they have not landed.

But the data is post-war period. The second in February 1953 just north of the Bermuda Triangle flew British military transport aircraft with 39 crew members and soldiers on board. Suddenly the radio with him was lost, and in due time the plane did not return to base. Sent in search of the proposed site of a cargo ship accident ' Vuduord ' could not find anything: strong winds, the sea was a small wave. But no oily stains or debris.

This list, which already consists of fifty ships and aircraft, ends with the death of a cargo vessel ' Anita '. In March 1973, it came with the coal to the Atlantic port of Norfolk, and was sent to Hamburg. In the Bermuda Triangle, it fell in a storm, and without giving distress signal 'SOS', is believed to have sunk. After a few days at sea have found only one life preserver with the words - ' Anita '.

IT IS THE MAGIC BUBBLE?.

In 2001 there was another post about solving the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle. In the new version ships in the Bermuda Triangle and other areas drown due to bubbles of methane. Surfacing, a lot of bubbles reduce the density of water, and the ship loses buoyancy.

Denardo, Bruce, a researcher at the Naval School in Monterey (California), I decided to test this hypothesis, as it is, at first glance, counterintuitive, because the bubbles are trapped and their streams of water should give impetus to the ship, upward. To test the experimenters lowered into the water with the density of the ball that he could barely swim, and began to apply the flow of air from the bottom. The ball immediately drowned.

Friday № 6 - How to manipulate users

As users manipulate the.

This chapter is outrageously cynical and full of real examples, involving real, more alive people, so try not to spread it over the internet links - read for yourself, and to the point.

...

I will start with two recent stories. One large firm has recently acquired a 2- processor server (2xXEON3. 0 GHz ) with. RAID. 5. 72 GB on the basis of. UltraSCSI. 320 discs. Everything would be fine, but the server is designed to serve the database size 5 MB. Well, very much convincing them admin....

Another story happened in a medium sized office, but it is very Internet- dependent - the whole trade, business and customers walked through the 'Net. The local admin ... CISCO. , And ... Pepper is clear that the director is more concerned with tuning his new ... DDoS. attack on the server of the company - with a gigabyte logs, paralyzed business and (self) ejection of hair in the Chief Accountant. To protect against malicious hackers piece of iron was immediately purchased, received his training admin megarouter and six months later went to a very good salary to one very rich provider (and also bought a Touareg, say).

So, let's talk about the manipulation with iron... Of course, we should not talk about the fact that all users of computers are coming to understand, they are removed from a completely unnecessary 48 -speed users. DVD. -. RW. And inserted into the good old 8- speed. CD. -. ROM. Pro video card too, let's all shut up together - let me gigabytes of spam send someone who with their original graphics are reading this text. But really, why else write a stock number on the body ( and the second on the monitor )?.

The scientific approach - Physics.

But it's all the obvious tricks, to which even go so the guys at gas stations - are writing one, fill it with another. Boring... Real programmers use a scientific approach....

If you recall, the physics in the school knew three people - the bespectacled Bob on the front row, an excellent and very Val fizichka. Given that the nick is physically literate people do not go, bespectacled Bob works in the neighboring department of IT, but excellent student Valya became your wife, you manipulate iron things based. a knowledge of physics, is one of the most. appreciative, and pleasant light of manipulation.

First of all, the immense subject of speculation has SanPiN - m. e. approved sanitary rules and regulations. (specifically Sanitary 2. 2. 2. 542-96. , GOST 12. a. 030-81. SSBT, GOST 12. a. 003-83, and others. ). These wonderful little book filled with a mass of numbers and conditions governing the work and recreation programmers (and no, there is no toast, no need to search).

So, no job in the former Soviet Union does not meet these standards. Perhaps there are some places in the working space of 6 sq.. m. But only. Oh standards for air ionization sure no one does - for this office must be placed in a pine forest, and no computer around, of course!.

So, armed with the above books, as well as horror stories about losing their potency and balding men, it is easy to carry out educational program users, and to say that they have finally launched their monitors in the rear wall of the wall ( pardon the pun, but other options are somehow not . or...).

I heard that once, after a military literacy drekolem ( scissors, paperweights and T. Dr.. ) People broke into the office of the boss and still have a fair redistribution of free space in the office. But it is hard to believe.

Good support for the struggle for free space is, say, a broken scanner ( or other device redkoispolzuemy ) and Geiger ( home sold for two thousand. rubles). With a worried look with a walk around the counter and tell the scanner to colleagues that the laser scanner sensors are highly ionized atmosphere. If tomorrow you are not moved away, razrisuy markers of concentric circles. radiation zone - the ...

But all this advice for those who are forced to share his room with the users. If you already have their own room, and it's not a toilet, converted to the server, where you sit still 4 peers, you should take action to protect their territory. No, the label is not necessary, but certainly within six months the main boss will head the IT department and ask for shelter at the time of ... Do not settle for anything - the girl Soon priberet to his head, and did not take long occupied a place brand new and not even... well, in general, undesirable colleague.

The territory must be protected. Measurements of background radiation we have said, but did not stop there. Scatter of all the free places exposed wires, former motherboards, and other attributes kabelerezy sect of Satanists beginners. On the floor lay the cables 6.5 to wallow at the feet of uninvited stranger.

It was said that the device is very effective from the Chinese laser pointer and a motion sensor, suspended from the ceiling - for every incoming watching this little red ray and prevents the perception of comfort and completely discourages stay.

Of course, there are very severe cases, when the boss gives credit for new. Audi. A8, and the expansion of the office of speech can not be, and all new employees coming and coming. In this case, you can use the last resort... It is so extreme that even the best. Back to work... But if we are cornered and have to defend themselves from invaders, hungrily eyed an unoccupied corner of your four -meter room,. - Do not wash. Yes, it just does not wash for months, wear the watch all year round, and only a vacation can be relaxing. What dirt does not lard, rubbed, and has disappeared. And the smell, by the way, the animals most reliable way to mark their territory....

Well, from the field of physics will not go into the physiology, let us into the psychology of.

A psychological approach.

The real wit and deep knowledge of psychology have shown my friends with the guys now bankrupt small factory (no, not at what the programmers have been there in a big steal, trains ).

They came to the plant once the new. TFT. Monitors (then still a wonder ), which were immediately chosen a powerful accountants. Programmers have not said anything, but the idea has earned. Only accountants managed to enjoy HD bukovok and share with each other with extraordinary sensations of free desktop as two days later began to dry before the cacti and monitors them, and everywhere in the district. Well, cacti and so is not particularly wet, accountants thought, but when they began to fall out of the pots, they are pretty pondered. Increased watering may not lead to anything, and then there was accidentally dropped in the programmer casually remarked that liquid crystals seem to have a negative impact on living organisms. Lift a quiet panic, and the accountant have to get rid of LCD monitors, which are gradually spilled over to the programmers, who was said - well, you do so quickly and balding, so... Jess! - Told the programmers, and poured into the bowl remains a colorless liquid with no . And to celebrate, even the cactus bloom.

As for cacti, which are ubiquitous in all departments yuzersky. I do not know who and when to let the rumor that the cacti protect against radiation, but in the late '80s, when the ... Members competed in a number of cacti set in front of monitors: someone told them that to protect against radiation monitor the number of inches should equal the number of cacti. Probably all. it came up with some kind of cactus, having read books on marketing, three-step, and thus extending its market to incredible size - if all the other flowers are bought only on March 8, the cacti are ... On one regret is that instead of cactus, these properties are not attributed to another grass, as it did in Holland....

Keys to the ...

Manipulated by users, who are responsible for purchasing the necessary hardware is very simple - it is sufficient to rationalize the need for. Logically, the user, of course, of course. For example, I remember for one design bureau had ordered computers, equipped with powerful graphics cards at the moment. Admin said - you draw the blueprints? .

And a month later the entire IT department and the individual close to the admin users have enjoyed a game of three heaped. D. - shooters at the maximum resolution, and the admin just ballooned from the free beer.

The logical chain should be tied to simple and understandable quality categories. A good example. : If you do not buy a mouse with a laser survey on the 1200gts, then cross the ... The result - mice purchased, everyone is happy.

A bad example. : If you do not buy ergonomic mouse, you may develop carpal tunnel syndrome. The result - ...

The more expensive the equipment, which must buy, the more difficult to justify the purchase of. In this case, helps the material known to all parties accountable to the classical approach is spreading order - assign to the system 30 monitors and a couple of blocks from the digitized video Mira Betacam- quality video to create a personal video library - no one will notice.

Of course, the manipulation of zhelezyachnye is best known to the admins and programmers but often some extra.

But let's move on to ... Yes, often mocking the admins always hustle-bustle of the programmers, but also the opportunity to focus on crude material iron, and therefore initially limited.
