  • Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
    THE HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY BY DOUGLAS ADAMS 2001 HANOMAG D OCUMENT VERSION 1.0 C OPYRIGHT © DOUGLAS A DAMS for Jonny Brock and Clare Gorst and all other Arlingtonians for tea, sympathy, and a sofa Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun. Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-two million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue green planet whose ape- descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea. This planet has - or rather had - a problem, which was this: most of the people on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movements of small green pieces of paper, which is odd because on the whole it wasn't the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy. And so the problem remained; lots of the people were mean, and most of them were miserable, even the ones with digital watches. Many were increasingly of the opinion that they'd all made a big mistake in coming down from the trees in the first place. And some said that even the trees had been a bad move, and that no one should ever have left the oceans. And then, one Thursday, nearly two thousand years after one man had been nailed to a tree for saying how great it would be to be nice to people for a change, one girl sitting on her own in a small cafe in Rickmansworth suddenly realized what it was that had been going wrong all this time, and she finally knew how the world could be made a good and happy place.

  • The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
    Review: The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy When I was studying in college, the smart guys in my class used to read a particular kind of books. Some of these books were ‘The Lord of the Rings’ by JRR Tolkien (before it became a movie and was read by everyone else), novels by P.G.Wodehouse, ‘One Hundred Years of Solitude’ by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, ‘2001 : A Space Odyssey’ by Arthur C. Clarke, ‘One, Two, Three…Infinity’ by George Gamov, ‘The Fountainhead’ by Ayn Rand and ‘Zen and the Art of Motocycle Maintenance’ by Robert M. Pirsig. (In case you are curious, I have read the first part of the first book of ‘The Lord of the Rings’, a few novels by P.G.Wodehouse, ‘One, Two, Three…Infinity’ and ‘2001 : A Space Odyssey’ in later years, many years after I finished college. I haven’t read the others yet.) One of these books was Douglas Adams’ ‘The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy’. It looked to me like a book which combined science fiction and humour and I wondered how that combination might work. But I never got around to reading it. Later, after I went to work, I saw all the books in the Hitchhiker’s series in one omnibus volume. I read the blurb and the premise of the series was quite interesting and so I thought I will get it. I carried it with me as I moved cities and countries, but never read it. Finally all the stars got aligned last week. The book club that I am part of, decided to read this book this month, and so I took it down from my shelf and read it.

  • Out of This World and Into Ourselves: Literature As a Bibliotherapeutic Journey
    Out of This World and Into Ourselves: Literature as a Bibliotherapeutic Journey Jonathan Bracksieck Sharpstown Middle School INTRODUCTION Reading is supposed to be fun. Much like television and motion pictures, reading should catapult the reader into the life and times of someone else. It should help them disregard the challenges they face, or at least focus their attention on another avenue and away from the road they know. It should allow the reader to exchange their circumstances and situations with those of another person, albeit a fictional (or biographical) character. And furthermore, reading should help satisfy our soul and psyche with the emotions and experience we can achieve in literature. I read for pleasure as a child, and this early intervention has resulted in a continued satisfaction in the written word. Reading was for me what television is to our present society, at least in that little hamlet of West Texas where I grew and prospered. In this generation of illiteracy, however, the child’s motivation to read both for pleasure and to learn diminishes drastically (Ruddell and Unrau 121). This becomes paradoxical in light of research that has shown that students’ interest and involvement in reading increase following the pleasure they receive when they complete a book or improve their reading ability (Schunk and Zimmerman 204). So, how can this be, I ask? I began my journey into flights of fiction for more of a healing process. Many were the days that I would sit alone in my room with nothing more than a light in the corner and a book in my hands.

However, another, arguably more important, part of the Bitcoin experiment is the underlying blockchain technology as a tool of distributed consensus, and since the introduction of Ethereum attention has now shifted to this other aspect. Commonly cited alternative applications of blockchain technology include using on- blockchain digital assets to represent custom currencies and financial instruments, the ownership of an underlying physical device, non-fungible assets such as domain names (like zarniwoop.crypto), as well as more complex applications involving having digital assets being directly controlled by a piece of code implementing arbitrary rules or even blockchain- based decentralised autonomous organisations (DAOs). Ethereum provide a blockchain with a built-in fully fledged Turing-complete programming language that can be used to create "contracts" that can be used to encode arbitrary state transition functions, allowing users to create any of the systems described above, as well as many others that humans have not yet imagined, simply by writing up the logic in a few lines of code.

  • A Study of Thomas Tidholm's Translation of the Hitch Hiker's
    2005:087 C EXTENDED ESSAY A Study of Thomas Tidholm´s Translation of The Hitch Hiker´s Guide to the Galaxy Annika Riekkola Luleå University of Technology C Extended Essay English Department of Language and Culture 2005:087 - ISSN: 1402-1773 - ISRN: LTU-CUPP--05/087--SE Abstract The purpose of this paper was to determine whether Thomas Tidholm’s translation of The Hitch Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy is a near equivalent of the original text, especially regarding humorous material. For the study of this problem, the English text was read in parallel with the Swedish translation and the material was restricted to every tenth page. A number of linguistic areas were analyzed: proper names, invented words, metaphors, similes, additions, omissions, mistranslations and wordplay. Overall, the study shows that Tidholm’s translation is quite faithful to the original text and many linguistic features have been translated fairly directly. Although several mistranslations are found in the analysed material, they are not severely damaging to the text. The study also demonstrates that much of the humour is preserved or recreated in the translation. 1.

Douglas Adams The Restaurant at the End of the Universe "Don't panic" is the slogan printed on many books by Douglas Adams best known as the author of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series. Adams takes the reader far away into space in the future. The main characters in the second volume of the series, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe , are again Arthur Dent and Trillian, the only two survivors of the Earth's demolition. Arthur is with Zaphod Beeblebrox, who has two heads and three arms and is the president of the galaxy.

    HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY Written by Douglas Adams Based on the book "The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" by Douglas Adams Revisions by Karey Kirkpatrick 8/8/03 3rd Revised Draft 1 2. HHGG 3rd Revised Draft 8/8/03 OVER DARKNESS... 1 ...we hear what we will come to know as the VOICE OF THE GUIDE. GUIDE VOICE It is an important and popular fact that things are not always what they seem. A small square image appears on screen. Home video. The dolphin stadium at Sea World. GUIDE VOICE (CONT'D) For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was the most intelligent species occupying the planet, instead of the third most intelligent which was, in fact, entirely accurate. The dolphins perform; leaping through hoops, etc. GUIDE VOICE (CONT'D) The second most intelligent creatures were, of course, dolphins who curiously enough had long known of the impending destruction of the planet Earth. They had made many attempts to alert mankind to the danger, but most of their communications were misinterpreted as amusing attempts to punch footballs or whistle for tidbits, so they eventually decided they would leave Earth by their own means. They leap madly, desperately. Higher and higher... GUIDE VOICE (CONT'D) The last ever dolphin message was misinterpreted as a surprisingly sophisticated attempt to do a double- backward somersault through a hoop while whistling the "Star-Spangled Banner" but in fact the message was this... "So long and thanks for all the fish." TITLES ROLL - (FULL SCREEN 35mm IMAGES) Dolphins leap over and interact with the opening titles.
