  • Is Friday the 13Th an Unlucky Day?
    Is Friday the 13th an unlucky day? Posted by Jacqui Atkielski On 05/13/2016 HOLLYWOOD, MD-- Some will call today the unluckiest day of the year. If you’re a believer, try to not step on sidewalk cracks, walk under ladders, break mirrors or encounter any black cats. Fear of Friday the 13th, or paraskevidekatriaphobia, has spawned a horror movies franchise and a tradition of widespread paranoia when it comes up on the calendar. If a month starts on a Sunday, you’ll have a Friday the 13th in that month. Folklore historians say it’s difficult to determine how the taboo came to be. Many believe that it originates from the Last Supper, and the 13 guests that sat at the table on the day before the Friday on which Jesus was crucified, according to Time. What began as a Christian interpretation leads some modern Americans to avoid staying at hotel rooms with the number 13, venturing above the 13th floor of a building, and won’t sit in the 13th row of an airplane. beware of venturing up to the 13th floor of any building or try not to sit in the 13th row in airplanes. There is historic proof that people may have feared Friday the 13th, according to another Time article. On a Friday the 13th in 1307, thousands of Knights Templar were arrested on orders from King Philip IV of France because of suspicions that their secret initiation rituals made them enemies of the faith. After years of torture, they were burned at the stake.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Journal of Religion & Film by an authorized editor of DigitalCommons@UNO. For more information, please contact [email protected]. The Sanctification of ear:F Images of the Religious in Horror Films Abstract Horror film functions both as a threat and a catharsis by confronting us with our fear of death, the supernatural, the unknown and irrational, ''the other" in general, a loss of identity, and forces beyond our control. Over the last century, religious symbols and themes have played a prominent and persistent role in the on-screen construction of this confrontation. That role is, at the same time, ambiguous insofar as religious iconography has become unhinged from a compelling moral vision and reduced to mere conventions that produce a quasi-religious quality to horror that lacks the symbolic power required to engage us at the deepest level of our being. Although religious symbols in horror films are conventional in their frequent use, they may have lost all connection to deeper human questions.

  • Facts & Statistics About the Project
    1 Hubble’s 15th Anniversary – Facts about the ESA project Introduction 24 April 2005 marked the 15th anniversary of the launch of the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. As an observatory in space, Hubble is a major project that has made an enormous impact both in terms of scientific output and in its immediate public appeal. Hubble has exploited its unique scientific capabilities in regions where no other instruments can compete. The telescope consistently delivers super-sharp images and clean, uncontaminated spectra over the entire near-infrared to ultraviolet regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. This has opened up new scientific territory and has resulted in many paradigm-breaking discoveries. Exquisite quality images have enabled astronomers to gain entirely new insights into the workings of a huge range of different astronomical objects. Hubble has provided a visual overview of the underlying astrophysical processes taking place in these objects, ranging from planets in our Solar System to galaxies in the young Universe. The renowned British astronomer Malcolm Longair writes in the preface to ESA’s anniversary book: ”The Hubble Space Telescope has undoubtedly had a greater public impact than any other space astronomy mission ever. The images included in this beautiful volume are quite staggering in the detail they reveal about the Universe we live in and have already become part of our common scientific and cultural heritage.” The project Many people agree that the long-term well-being and cultural development of European citizens depends on research and technological development. Information about science and scientists is a vital component of the scientific process, but the competition for attention in today’s mass-media market is fierce.

  • Triskaidekaphobia – November 9, 2015
    Problem of the Week Archive Triskaidekaphobia – November 9, 2015 Problems & Solutions Triskaidekaphobia is an irrational fear of the number 13. Because of fear and superstition surrounding the number 13, it is common in tall buildings for the 13th floor to be skipped when installing elevators buttons, it is instead numbered 14. A particularly fearful hotel owner decided to skip floor 13, as well as, any multiples of 13 when numbering the floors. He did the same thing when numbering the rooms. If each floor has rooms numbered to 100 and the elevator has buttons numbered to 30, how many rooms does the hotel have? The multiples of 13 between 1 and 100 are 13, 26, 39, 52, 65, 78 and 91, seven multiples. If the hotel has rooms numbered up to 100 but skips multiples of 13, this means that each floor has 100 − 7 = 93 rooms. The floors are numbered up to 30, but there are two multiples of 13 between 1 and 30, so there must actually be 30 − 2 = 28 floors. This means the total number of rooms in the entire hotel is 93 × 28 = 2604 rooms. Friday the 13th is a day that is believed widely to be unlucky, a superstition thought to be among the most common in the United States. This week, the 13th will fall on a Friday. In what month will the next Friday the 13th occur? There are 30 days in the month of November, therefore 30 days from November 13th will be December 13th. A full week is 7 days, and since 30 days is not divisible by 7, we know December 13th will not be on a Friday.

  • Friday the 13Th Is an Unlucky Day in English-, French
    www.english-area.com Friday the 13th is an unlucky day in English-, French- and Portuguese-speaking countries around the world, as well as in Austria, Germany, Estonia, Finland, The Netherlands, Bulgaria, Denmark, Iceland, Sweden, Norway, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, Hungary and the Philippines. Similar superstitions exist in some other traditions: in Greece, Romania and Spanish-speaking countries, for example, it is Tuesday the 13th that is considered unlucky. In Italy, it is Friday the 17th. Many people avoid travel and avoid signing contracts on Friday the 13th. Floors in tall buildings often skip from 12 to 14. And while the superstition is believed to be fading, it has deep roots in both Christian and pagan culture. Why does Friday the 13th have such a bad reputation? • Many Christians have long believed that Friday was unlucky because it was the day of the week when Jesus was crucified. The number 13 was believed to bring bad luck because there were 13 people at The Last Supper. Judas was the 13th guest. • Thirteen was also a sinister number in Norse mythology. Loki, one of the most evil of the Norse gods, went uninvited to a party for 12 at Valhalla, their heaven. As a result, he caused the death of Balder, the god of light, joy, and reconciliation. • During the Middle Ages, the superstition against Friday the 13th grew. On Friday 13, October, 1307, King Philip IV of France ordered the arrest of Jaques de Molay, Grand Master of the Knights Templars, the group of people who looked after the Holy Grail.

  • Cinemeducation Movies Have Long Been Utilized to Highlight Varied
    Cinemeducation Movies have long been utilized to highlight varied areas in the field of psychiatry, including the role of the psychiatrist, issues in medical ethics, and the stigma toward people with mental illness. Furthermore, courses designed to teach psychopathology to trainees have traditionally used examples from art and literature to emphasize major teaching points. The integration of creative methods to teach psychiatry residents is essential as course directors are met with the challenge of captivating trainees with increasing demands on time and resources. Teachers must continue to strive to create learning environments that give residents opportunities to apply, analyze, synthesize, and evaluate information (1). To reach this goal, the use of film for teaching may have advantages over traditional didactics. Films are efficient, as they present a controlled patient scenario that can be used repeatedly from year to year. Psychiatry residency curricula that have incorporated viewing contemporary films were found to be useful and enjoyable pertaining to the field of psychiatry in general (2) as well as specific issues within psychiatry, such as acculturation (3). The construction of a formal movie club has also been shown to be a novel way to teach psychiatry residents various aspects of psychiatry (4). Introducing REDRUMTM Building on Kalra et al. (4), we created REDRUMTM (Reviewing [Mental] Disorders with a Reverent Understanding of the Macabre), a Psychopathology curriculum for PGY-1 and -2 residents at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. REDRUMTM teaches topics in mental illnesses by use of the horror genre. We chose this genre in part because of its immense popularity; the tropes that are portrayed resonate with people at an unconscious level.
