Recently PHP core developers have been discussing if they should make async and await reserved keywords just in case future PHP versions implement asynchronous programming support similar to Facebook Hack and future EcmaScript/JavaScript versions.

Dyson sphere

A Dyson sphere is a hypothetical megastructure that completely encompasses a star and hence captures most or all of its power output. It was first described by Olaf Stapledon in his science fiction novel, "Star Maker". The concept was later popularly adopted by Freeman Dyson. Dyson speculated that such structures would be the logical consequence of the long-term survival and escalating energy needs of a technological civilization, and proposed that searching for evidence of the existence of such structures might lead to the detection of advanced intelligent extraterrestrial life. Different types of Dyson spheres correlate with information on the Kardashev scale.

Since then, other variant designs involving building an artificial structure or series of structures to encompass a star have been proposed in exploratory engineering or described in science fiction under the name "Dyson sphere". These later proposals have not been limited to solar-power stations. Many involve habitation or industrial elements. Most fictional depictions describe a solid shell of matter enclosing a star, which is considered the least plausible variant of the idea (see below). In May 2013, at the Starship Century Symposium in San Diego, Dyson repeated his comments that he wished the concept had not been named after him.[1]

Plague doctor

A plague doctor was a special medical physician who treated those who had the plague. They were specifically hired by towns that had many plague victims in times of epidemics. Since the city was paying their salary, they treated everyone: both the rich and the poor.[dubious – discuss] However, some plague doctors were known for charging patients and their families extra for special treatments and/or false cures. They were not normally professionally trained experienced physicians or surgeons, and often were second-rate doctors unable to otherwise run a successful medical business or young physicians trying to establish themselves.

Plague doctors by their covenant treated plague patients and were known as municipal or "community plague doctors", whereas "general practitioners" were separate doctors and both might be in the same European city or town at the same time. In France and the Netherlands plague doctors often lacked medical training and were referred to as "empirics". In one case a plague doctor had been a fruit salesman before his employment as a physician.

In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, some doctors wore a beak-like mask which was filled with aromatic items. The masks were designed to protect them from putrid air, which (according to the miasmatic theory of disease) was seen as the cause of infection. Thus:

The nose half a foot long, shaped like a beak, filled with perfume with only two holes, one on each side near the nostrils, but that can suffice to breathe and to carry along with the air one breathes the impression of the drugs enclosed further along in the beak. Under the coat we wear boots made in Moroccan leather (goat leather) from the front of the breeches in smooth skin that are attached to said boots and a short-sleeved blouse in smooth skin, the bottom of which is tucked into the breeches. The hat and gloves are also made of the same skin ... with spectacles over the eyes.

History
The first epidemic of bubonic plague dates back to the mid 6th century, known as the Plague of Justinian. The largest epidemic was the Black Death of Europe in the 14th century. In medieval times the large loss of people due to the bubonic plague in a town created an economic disaster. Community plague doctors were quite valuable and were given special privileges. For example, plague doctors were freely allowed to perform autopsies, which were otherwise generally forbidden in Medieval Europe, to research a cure for the plague.

In some cases, plague doctors were so valuable that when Barcelona dispatched two to Tortosa in 1650, outlaws captured them en route and demanded a ransom. The city of Barcelona paid for their release. The city of Orvieto hired Matteo fu Angelo in 1348 for 4 times the normal rate of a doctor of 50-florin per year. Pope Clement VI hired several extra plague doctors during the Black Death plague. They were to attend to the sick people of Avignon. Of eighteen doctors in Venice, only one was left by 1348: five had died of the plague, and twelve were missing and may have fled.


Costume
Some plague doctors wore a special costume, although graphic sources show that plague doctors wore a variety of garments. The garments were invented by Charles de L'Orme in 1619; they were first used in Paris, but later spread to be used throughout Europe. The protective suit consisted of a heavy fabric overcoat that was waxed, a mask with glass eye openings and a cone nose shaped like a beak to hold scented substances and straw.

Some of the scented materials were ambergris, lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis), mint (Mentha spicata L.) leaves, camphor, cloves, laudanum, myrrh, rose petals, storax. This was thought to protect the doctor from miasmatic bad air. The straw provided a filter for the "bad air". A wooden cane pointer was used to help examine the patient without having to touch them. It was also used as a means of repenting sins, as many believed that the plague was a punishment and would ask to be whipped to repent their sins.


Public servants
Plague doctors served as public servants during times of epidemics starting with the Black Death of Europe in the fourteenth century. Their principal task, besides taking care of plague victims, was to record in public records the deaths due to the plague.

In certain European cities like Florence and Perugia plague doctors were requested to do autopsies to help determine the cause of death and how the plague played a role. Plague doctors became witnesses to numerous wills during times of plague epidemics. Plague doctors also gave advice to their patients about their conduct before death. This advice varied depending on the patient, and after the Middle Ages the nature of the relationship between doctor and patient was governed by an increasingly complex ethical code.


Methods
Plague doctors practiced bloodletting and other remedies such as putting frogs or leeches on the buboes to "rebalance the humors" as a normal routine. Plague doctors could not generally interact with the general public because of the nature of their business and the possibility of spreading the disease; they could also be subject to quarantine.


Notable medieval plague doctors
A famous plague doctor who gave medical advice about preventive measures which could be against the plague was Nostradamus. Nostradamus' advice was the removal of infected corpses, getting fresh air, drinking clean water, and drinking a juice preparation of rose hips. In Traité des fardemens it shows in Part A Chapter VIII that Nostradamus also recommended not to bleed the patient.

The Italian city of Pavia, in 1479, contracted Giovanni de Ventura as a community plague doctor. The Irish physician, Niall Ó Glacáin (c.1563?–1653) earned deep respect in Spain, France and Italy for his bravery in treating numerous victims of the plague. The French anatomist Ambroise Paré and Paracelsus were also famous medieval plague doctors.

tree fiddy

About

“Tree Fiddy” is a catchphrase associated with a story about the Loch Ness Monster originally told in an episode of the animated television series South Park. In the context of forums and imageboard sites, the phrase serves as the anti-climactic punchline in bait-and-switch stories that abruptly end with Loch Ness Monster begging for $3.50.
Origin

The phrase originated from a South Park episode titled “The Succubus” aired on April 21st, 1999. In the episode, the parents of the character Chef tell stories about encountering the Loch Ness Monster, who constantly begs the couple for $3.50.

     Chef’s dad: It stood above us looking down with these big red eyes…

    Chef’s mom: Oh it was so scary!

    Chef’s dad: And I yelled, I said “What do you want from us monster?!”
    And the monster bent down and said “I need about treefiddy.” [silent pause]

    Kyle: What’s treefiddy?

    Chef’s dad: Three dollars and fifty cents.

    Chef’s mom: Treefiddy.

Πώς πήραν την ονομασία τους τα σκυλάδικα


Πριν χρόνια, επί εποχης Καζαντζίδη, Μπιθικώτση, Ζαμπέτα, τα λαικά μαγαζιά ηταν στις Τζιτζιφίες,και μαλιστα υπαιθρια τους καλοκαιρινους μηνες. Μέχρι τοτε προσέφεραν μόνο ποτό,το οποιό ομως ηταν σε διατίμηση και δεν μπορούσαν να βάλουν την τιμή οσο ήθελαν.Έτσι σκεφτήκαν να βάλουν και φαγητό,υποχρεωτικά,ετσι ώστε να μπορουν να χρεωνουν παραπανω. Έβαλαν λοιπον μοσχάρι βραστό,το οποιο δεν τρωγωταν ακομα και αν το μάσαγες 100 ωρες.Έτσι οι πελάτες με το που τους σέρβιραν το πάσαραν στα αδέσποτα σκυλιά,που μαζευόντουσαν απο την μυρωδια.Έτσι στα λαικά μαγαζιά της εποχης μαζευόντουσαν παρα πολλα σκυλια και ετσι ονομαστηκαν σκυλάδικα. Mάλιστα οσο πιο πολλα σκυλια μαζευόντουσαν σημαινε οτι το μαγαζι εχει πολυ κοσμο και πάει καλα.


Άλλη μια πηγή λέει οτι την εποχή εκείνη (δεκαετία 70) η τραγουδιάρα κατα την έναρξη του προγράμματος άρχιζε σε συνεννόηση με την ορχήστρα να λεει όλα τα τότε καινούρια κομμάτια – αλλά και κανένα παλιό ανάμεσα – τόσο γρήγορα, μα τόσο γρήγορα, που σχεδόν δεν μπορεί να αναπνεύσει. Αυτό το αναπνευστικό πρόβλημα οδηγεί σ’ αυτές τις παύσεις στο λαχάνιασμα και στο λυγμό που θυμίζουν γαύγισμα σκύλου. Έτσι οι καλλιτέχνες μετατρέπονται σε σκυλιά που γαβγίζουν για να κερδίσουν τον επιούσιο. Μετά το γαύγισμα πάλι κυλάνε με ταχύτητα τα τραγούδια και μόλις φθάνουν στο τραγούδι που αρέσει στο πελάτη γιατί φαίνεται να σπάει περισσότερα πιάτα και να πετάει περισσότερα γαρύφαλλα τότε ο ρυθμός μειώνεται και προσπαθούν να το τραγουδήσουν στο σωστό του χρόνο ώστε να του δώσουν την ευκαιρία να ...ξοδέψει.
Έτσι προέκυψαν τα γαυγίσματα και τα μαγαζιά λέγονται σκυλάδικα , οι καλλιτέχνες σκυλιά το είδος της μουσικής σκυλέ και οι πελάτες καθώς και οι απανταχού θιασώτες της συγκεκριμένης μουσικής: σκυλάδες.


Οι σκυλάδες σημειολογικά ακολουθούνται από κάποια στοιχεία που σε κάνουν να τους διακρίνεις και εκτός σκυλάδικου. Χρυσή – χοντρή αλυσίδα στο λαιμό η στο χέρι. Ανοιχτό πουκάμισο για να φαίνεται το δασύτριχο στήθος. Αυτοκίνητο πολλών κυβικών με σπόιλερ, αεροτομές, προφυλακτήρες θυρών, επιπλέον φώτα, δερμάτινα καθίσματα, ζάντες αλουμινίου, χονδρά λάστιχα με χαμηλό προφίλ και τεράστια εξάτμιση για να κάνει θόρυβο. Απαραίτητο το στέρεο πολλών βατ, με κασέτες η CD γνωστού μουσικού περιεχομένου και ει δυνατόν ηχογραφημένες λάιβ μέσα στο «μαγαζί».

Diades of Pella (the besieger)


Diades of Pella lived during the 4th century BC and has a strong connection to Alexander the Great. Diades did not spend an abundant amount of time in any one location in the ancient world. Rather, he traveled eastward along with the military expedition of Alexander. He was a skilled engineer that specialized in the design and construction of powerful siege machines. As a result, Diades was an integral part of Alexander's war machine.

There does not appear to be any survivng (or at least readily available) likenesses or images describing his appearance. This Greek engineer created a wheel mounted "Tortoise" battering ram that surpasses previous designs in both tactical strength and complexity. The ram consisted of a 3 story tower (approaching 7.5m in height) with slings, catapults or cover for archers positioned on the upper levels. The battering ram itself was located within the "shell" of the "Tortoise" to protect the operators while attacking enemy fortifications. Diades was keen enough to includes tanks of water on the lower levels of the ram. This allowed any fires threatening the siege machine to be quickly quenched.

Although battering rams are no longer used on the modern battlefield, Diades innovations in terms of soldier protection and damage control are still vitally important today.
