  • 22 Jali

    Chikan work made in India, so called because it looks like a " jal " or a fishing net. It is mostly based on drawn thread work and commonly includes the following varieties: - (1) Jali - In this a fine reticulated effect is produced by taking up a few threads of the warp and weft on to the needle and drawing them together with a thread on the needle. It is done within the outlines of a design and is carried up one way and down another, the result being a number of small holes separated by minute button-holing. No threads are drawn out from the fabric, only very fine cotton thread is used on the needle and the work is done from the wrong side of the cloth. (2) Bilati Jali - In which the actual process is the same as in Jali, except that some threads of the fabric are drawn out before sewing begins and thicker thread is used in the needle, the result being that the holes in the pattern produced are squarer and larger than in Jali. (3) Chatai Jali - In which the holes are made as in Bilati Jali, but an alternating band of fabric is left between each two parallel bands of openings. (4) Mandraji, or Madras Jali - In which, Croceeding as above, the band of fabric between the large openings is further broken up into minute Jali openings, the large openings themselves being usually round. (5) Shiri - Which is simply a single line of Kholas and corresponds to the French Jour Echelle. (6) Kholas - In which five or six threads are drawn out right across the fabric, three or four then left, five or six again drawn out, and so on, in as many lines as may be desired, the work then proceeds as in Bilati Jali. All the various kinds of Kholas are done mainly on the borders of handkerchiefs. (7) Basket - Which is a species of Kholas in which a differently shaped pattern is placed between two lines of Shirli. According to the intervening pattern this work is known as Kholas basket, Chand basket, or Gajar basket. (8) Renda, or Jingir - These are further similar varieties of Kholas.

  • 27 Morris, William Richard, Viscount Nuffield

    [br]
    b. 10 October 1877 Worcester, England
    d. 22 August 1963 Nuffield Place, England
    [br]
    English industrialist, car manufacturer and philanthropist.
    [br]
    Morris was the son of Frederick Morris, then a draper. He was the eldest of a family of seven, all of whom, except for one sister, died in childhood. When he was 3 years old, his father moved to Cowley, near Oxford, where he attended the village school. After a short time with a local bicycle firm he set up on his own at the age of 16 with a capital of £4. He manufactured pedal cycles and by 1902 he had designed a motor cycle and was doing car-repair work. By 1912, at the Motor Show, he was able to announce his first car, the 8.9 hp, two-seater Morris Oxford with its characteristic "bull-nose". It could perform at up to 50 mph (80 km/h) and 50 mpg (5.65 1/100 km). It cost £165.
    Though untrained, Morris was a born engineer as well as a natural judge of character. This enabled him to build up a reliable team of assistants in his growing business, with an order for four hundred cars at the Motor Show in 1912. Much of his business was built up in the assembly of components manufactured by outside suppliers. In he moved out of his initial premises by New College in Longwall and bought land at Cowley, where he brought out his second model, the 11.9hp Morris Oxford. This was after the First World War, during which car production was reduced to allow the manufacture of tanks and munitions. He was awarded the OBE in 1917 for his war work. Morris Motors Ltd was incorporated in 1919, and within fifteen months sales of cars had reached over 3,000 a year. By 1923 he was producing 20,000 cars a year, and in 1926 50,000, equivalent to about one-third of Britain's output. With the slump, a substantial overdraft, and a large stock of unsold cars, Morris took the bold decision to cut the prices of cars in stock, which then sold out within three weeks. Other makers followed suit, but Morris was ahead of them.
    Morris was part-founder of the Pressed Steel Company, set up to produce car bodies at Cowley. A clever operation with the shareholding of the Morris Motors Company allowed Morris a substantial overall profit to provide expansion capital. By 1931 his "empire" comprised, in addition to Morris Motors, the MG Car Company, the Wolseley Company, the SU Carburettor Company and Morris Commercial Cars. In 1936, the value of Morris's financial interest in the business was put at some £16 million.
    William Morris was a frugal man and uncomplicated, having little use for all the money he made except to channel it to charitable purposes. It is said that in all he gave away some £30 million during his lifetime, much of it invested by the recipients to provide long-term benefits. He married Elizabeth Anstey in 1904 and lived for thirty years at Nuffield Place. He lived modestly, and even after retirement, when Honorary President of the British Motor Corporation, the result of a merger between Morris Motors and the Austin Motor Company, he drove himself to work in a modest 10 hp Wolseley. His generosity benefited many hospitals in London, Oxford, Birmingham and elsewhere. Oxford Colleges were another class of beneficiary from his largesse.

  • 29 Agriculture

       Historically, Portugal's agricultural efficiency, measured in terms of crop yields and animal productivity, has been well below that of other European countries. Agricultural inefficiency is a consequence of Portugal's topography and climate, which varies considerably from north to south and has influenced farm size and farming methods. There are three major agricultural zones: the north, center, and south. The north (the area between the Douro and Minho Rivers, including the district of Trás-os-Montes) is mountainous with a wet (180-249 cm of rainfall/year), moderately cool climate. It contains about 2 million hectares of cultivated land excessively fragmented into tiny (3-5 hectares) family-owned farms, or minifúndios, a consequence of ancient settlement patterns, a strong attachment to the land, and the tradition of subdividing land equally among family members. The farms in the north produce the potatoes and kale that are used to make caldo verde soup, a staple of the Portuguese diet, and the grapes that are used to make vinho verde (green wine), a light sparkling white wine said to aid the digestion of oily and greasy food. Northern farms are too small to benefit from mechanization and their owners too poor to invest in irrigation, chemical fertilizers, or better seeds; hence, agriculture in the north has remained labor intensive, despite efforts to regroup minifúndios to increase farm size and efficiency.
       The center (roughly between the Douro and the Tagus River) is bisected by the Mondego River, the land to either side of which is some of the most fertile in Portugal and produces irrigated rice, corn, grapes, and forest goods on medium-sized (about 100 hectares) farms under a mixture of owner-cultivation and sharecropping. Portugal's center contains the Estrela Mountains, where sheep raising is common and wool, milk, and cheese are produced, especially mountain cheese ( Queijo da Serra), similar to French brie. In the valley of the Dão River, a full-bodied, fruity wine much like Burgundy is produced. In the southern part of the center, where the climate is dry and soils are poor, stock raising mixes with cereal crop cultivation. In Estremadura, the area north of Lisbon, better soils and even rainfall support intensive agriculture. The small farms of this area produce lemons, strawberries, pears, quinces, peaches, and vegetables. Estremadura also produces red wine at Colares and white wine at Buçelas.
       The south (Alentejo and Algarve) is a vast rolling plain with a hot arid climate. It contains about 2.6 million hectares of arable land and produces the bulk of Portugal's wheat and barley. It also produces one of Portugal's chief exports, cork, which is made from bark cut from cork oaks at nine-year intervals. There are vast groves of olive trees around the towns of Elvas, Serpa, and Estremoz that provide Portugal's olives. The warm climate of the Algarve (the most southern region of Portugal) is favorable for the growing of oranges, pomegranates, figs, and carobs. Almonds are also produced. Farms in the south, except for the Algarve, are large estates (typically 1,000 hectares or more in size) known as latifúndios, worked by a landless, wage-earning rural work force. After the Revolution of 25 April 1974, these large estates were taken over by the state and turned into collective farms. During the 1990s, as the radicalism of the Revolution moderated, collectivized agriculture was seen as counterproductive, and the nationalized estates were gradually returned to their original owners in exchange for cash payments or small parcels of land for the collective farm workers.
       Portugal adopted the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) when it joined the European Union (EU) in 1986. The CAP, which is based on the principles of common pricing, EU preferences, and joint financing, has shifted much of Portugal's agricultural decision making to the EU. Under the CAP, cereals and dairy products have experienced declines in prices because these are in chronic surplus within the EU. Alentejo wheat production has become unprofitable because of poor soils. However, rice, tomatoes, sunflower, and safflower seed and potatoes, as well as Portuguese wines, have competed well under the CAP system.

  • 30 Creativity

       Put in this bald way, these aims sound utopian. How utopian they areor rather, how imminent their realization-depends on how broadly or narrowly we interpret the term "creative." If we are willing to regard all human complex problem solving as creative, then-as we will point out-successful programs for problem solving mechanisms that simulate human problem solvers already exist, and a number of their general characteristics are known. If we reserve the term "creative" for activities like discovery of the special theory of relativity or the composition of Beethoven's Seventh Symphony, then no example of a creative mechanism exists at the present time. (Simon, 1979, pp. 144-145)
       Among the questions that can now be given preliminary answers in computational terms are the following: how can ideas from very different sources be spontaneously thought of together? how can two ideas be merged to produce a new structure, which shows the influence of both ancestor ideas without being a mere "cut-and-paste" combination? how can the mind be "primed," so that one will more easily notice serendipitous ideas? why may someone notice-and remember-something fairly uninteresting, if it occurs in an interesting context? how can a brief phrase conjure up an entire melody from memory? and how can we accept two ideas as similar ("love" and "prove" as rhyming, for instance) in respect of a feature not identical in both? The features of connectionist AI models that suggest answers to these questions are their powers of pattern completion, graceful degradation, sensitization, multiple constraint satisfaction, and "best-fit" equilibration.... Here, the important point is that the unconscious, "insightful," associative aspects of creativity can be explained-in outline, at least-by AI methods. (Boden, 1996, p. 273)
       There thus appears to be an underlying similarity in the process involved in creative innovation and social independence, with common traits and postures required for expression of both behaviors. The difference is one of product-literary, musical, artistic, theoretical products on the one hand, opinions on the other-rather than one of process. In both instances the individual must believe that his perceptions are meaningful and valid and be willing to rely upon his own interpretations. He must trust himself sufficiently that even when persons express opinions counter to his own he can proceed on the basis of his own perceptions and convictions. (Coopersmith, 1967, p. 58)
       he average level of ego strength and emotional stability is noticeably higher among creative geniuses than among the general population, though it is possibly lower than among men of comparable intelligence and education who go into administrative and similar positions. High anxiety and excitability appear common (e.g. Priestley, Darwin, Kepler) but full-blown neurosis is quite rare. (Cattell & Butcher, 1970, p. 315)
       he insight that is supposed to be required for such work as discovery turns out to be synonymous with the familiar process of recognition; and other terms commonly used in the discussion of creative work-such terms as "judgment," "creativity," or even "genius"-appear to be wholly dispensable or to be definable, as insight is, in terms of mundane and well-understood concepts. (Simon, 1989, p. 376)
       From the sketch material still in existence, from the condition of the fragments, and from the autographs themselves we can draw definite conclusions about Mozart's creative process. To invent musical ideas he did not need any stimulation; they came to his mind "ready-made" and in polished form. In contrast to Beethoven, who made numerous attempts at shaping his musical ideas until he found the definitive formulation of a theme, Mozart's first inspiration has the stamp of finality. Any Mozart theme has completeness and unity; as a phenomenon it is a Gestalt. (Herzmann, 1964, p. 28)
       Great artists enlarge the limits of one's perception. Looking at the world through the eyes of Rembrandt or Tolstoy makes one able to perceive aspects of truth about the world which one could not have achieved without their aid. Freud believed that science was adaptive because it facilitated mastery of the external world; but was it not the case that many scientific theories, like works of art, also originated in phantasy? Certainly, reading accounts of scientific discovery by men of the calibre of Einstein compelled me to conclude that phantasy was not merely escapist, but a way of reaching new insights concerning the nature of reality. Scientific hypotheses require proof; works of art do not. Both are concerned with creating order, with making sense out of the world and our experience of it. (Storr, 1993, p. xii)
       The importance of self-esteem for creative expression appears to be almost beyond disproof. Without a high regard for himself the individual who is working in the frontiers of his field cannot trust himself to discriminate between the trivial and the significant. Without trust in his own powers the person seeking improved solutions or alternative theories has no basis for distinguishing the significant and profound innovation from the one that is merely different.... An essential component of the creative process, whether it be analysis, synthesis, or the development of a new perspective or more comprehensive theory, is the conviction that one's judgment in interpreting the events is to be trusted. (Coopersmith, 1967, p. 59)
       In the daily stream of thought these four different stages [preparation; incubation; illumination or inspiration; and verification] constantly overlap each other as we explore different problems. An economist reading a Blue Book, a physiologist watching an experiment, or a business man going through his morning's letters, may at the same time be "incubating" on a problem which he proposed to himself a few days ago, be accumulating knowledge in "preparation" for a second problem, and be "verifying" his conclusions to a third problem. Even in exploring the same problem, the mind may be unconsciously incubating on one aspect of it, while it is consciously employed in preparing for or verifying another aspect. (Wallas, 1926, p. 81)
       he basic, bisociative pattern of the creative synthesis [is] the sudden interlocking of two previously unrelated skills, or matrices of thought. (Koestler, 1964, p. 121)
        11) The Earliest Stages in the Creative Process Involve a Commerce with Disorder
       Even to the creator himself, the earliest effort may seem to involve a commerce with disorder. For the creative order, which is an extension of life, is not an elaboration of the established, but a movement beyond the established, or at least a reorganization of it and often of elements not included in it. The first need is therefore to transcend the old order. Before any new order can be defined, the absolute power of the established, the hold upon us of what we know and are, must be broken. New life comes always from outside our world, as we commonly conceive that world. This is the reason why, in order to invent, one must yield to the indeterminate within him, or, more precisely, to certain illdefined impulses which seem to be of the very texture of the ungoverned fullness which John Livingston Lowes calls "the surging chaos of the unexpressed." (Ghiselin, 1985, p. 4)
       New life comes always from outside our world, as we commonly conceive our world. This is the reason why, in order to invent, one must yield to the indeterminate within him, or, more precisely, to certain illdefined impulses which seem to be of the very texture of the ungoverned fullness which John Livingston Lowes calls "the surging chaos of the unexpressed." Chaos and disorder are perhaps the wrong terms for that indeterminate fullness and activity of the inner life. For it is organic, dynamic, full of tension and tendency. What is absent from it, except in the decisive act of creation, is determination, fixity, and commitment to one resolution or another of the whole complex of its tensions. (Ghiselin, 1952, p. 13)
       [P]sychoanalysts have principally been concerned with the content of creative products, and with explaining content in terms of the artist's infantile past. They have paid less attention to examining why the artist chooses his particular activity to express, abreact or sublimate his emotions. In short, they have not made much distinction between art and neurosis; and, since the former is one of the blessings of mankind, whereas the latter is one of the curses, it seems a pity that they should not be better differentiated....
       Psychoanalysis, being fundamentally concerned with drive and motive, might have been expected to throw more light upon what impels the creative person that in fact it has. (Storr, 1993, pp. xvii, 3)
       A number of theoretical approaches were considered. Associative theory, as developed by Mednick (1962), gained some empirical support from the apparent validity of the Remote Associates Test, which was constructed on the basis of the theory.... Koestler's (1964) bisociative theory allows more complexity to mental organization than Mednick's associative theory, and postulates "associative contexts" or "frames of reference." He proposed that normal, non-creative, thought proceeds within particular contexts or frames and that the creative act involves linking together previously unconnected frames.... Simonton (1988) has developed associative notions further and explored the mathematical consequences of chance permutation of ideas....
       Like Koestler, Gruber (1980; Gruber and Davis, 1988) has based his analysis on case studies. He has focused especially on Darwin's development of the theory of evolution. Using piagetian notions, such as assimilation and accommodation, Gruber shows how Darwin's system of ideas changed very slowly over a period of many years. "Moments of insight," in Gruber's analysis, were the culminations of slow long-term processes.... Finally, the information-processing approach, as represented by Simon (1966) and Langley et al. (1987), was considered.... [Simon] points out the importance of good problem representations, both to ensure search is in an appropriate problem space and to aid in developing heuristic evaluations of possible research directions.... The work of Langley et al. (1987) demonstrates how such search processes, realized in computer programs, can indeed discover many basic laws of science from tables of raw data.... Boden (1990a, 1994) has stressed the importance of restructuring the problem space in creative work to develop new genres and paradigms in the arts and sciences. (Gilhooly, 1996, pp. 243-244; emphasis in original)

  • 35 now

    Now как слово часто используется в качестве наречия времени со значением 'сейчас / теперь'. Однако, как показывает анализ, в современном языке оно достаточно часто употребляется в таких функциях, которые никак не связаны с логическим значением времени. Рассмотрим, в частности, следующий пример:

    • This is Mr. Ernest Beevers.... Now all these are Conways, except this young lady... (Pr: 24)


    Это Эрнест Биверс... А вот это все семья Конвей, за исключением этой молодой девушки.


    Понятно, что в принципе высказывание типа ' Now all these are Conways' может быть понято примерно как ' Теперь все они Конвеи', например в ситуации, когда некие девушки вышли замуж за мужчин из одной семьи и сменили фамилии. Однако в анализируемом случае подобному пониманию препятствует весь контекст. Мы видим, что происходит представление присутствующих, и now используется фактически для переключения внимания от одного к другим, то есть не может быть переведено как теперь, поскольку очевидно, что героини и раньше носили такую фамилию. В таком употреблении анализируемое слово соответствует данным нами во введении критериям выделения частиц, и должно быть признано частицей. Важным формальным критерием отнесения now к частицам является синтаксическая позиция - now-частица преимущественно ставится в начале предложения и часто обособляется.
    Наиболее распространенная функция частицы now в общем виде может быть названа функцией привлечения внимания. В конкретных контекстах, однако, обычно происходит уточнение этой общей функции. Одной из важных разновидностей мы считаем функцию введения актуальной информации, которую нужно знать в данной ситуации общения. Яркой иллюстрацией этой функции является следующий пример:

    • "Flute and piano."


    "Oh?"


    "Flute and piano; not recorder and piano." Welch laughed briefly. " Now a recorder, you know, isn't like a flute, though it's the flute's immediate ancestor, of course..." (KA: 7)


    "Для флейты и фортепиано."


    "Да что вы?"


    "Да, не для блок-флейты и фортепиано, а просто для флейты и фортепиано." Велч издал короткий смешок. " А ведь, понимаете, блок-флейта - не то же самое, что просто флейта, хотя, конечно, и является ее непосредственной предшественницей..."


    Русская частица ведь очень хорошо подходит на роль эквивалента now в функции введения актуальной информации, хотя в других контекстах могут быть предпочтительны и другие эквиваленты:

    • He twittered away and Dad got more and more nervous and kept coughing to hide his nervousness. Now it so happened that he'd not long ago had all his teeth out... (DL: 175)


    Он все болтал и болтал, а папа все больше и больше волновался и постоянно кашлял, чтобы скрыть свое волнение. И знаете, так получилось, что он незадолго до этого удалил все зубы...


    • He said, I remember the exact words, "It's difficult to share the author's sentimental regard for the main character. That your dentures fit badly doesn't automatically guarantee that you are the salt of the earth." Now there was nothing about false teeth in the book. (DL: 176)


    Он написал, я в точности помню слова: "Едва ли можно разделить сентиментальные чувства автора по отношению к главному герою. Если у кого-то плохо сидят вставные челюсти, это ещё не значит, что он пуп земли." При этом в книге ведь ничего не было об искусственных зубах.


    Введение актуальной информации может осуществляться также с оттенком уступки или противопоставления, что обычно влияет на способ перевода частицы now:

    •... there was something like a forged testimonial or something of the sort, I gathered. Something rather shady, anyway. Now, of course, this journal of his may be quite above-board and so on, I'm not saying it isn't... (KA: 82)


    ... насколько я понял, там было что-то типа поддельной рекомендации или чего-то в этом роде. В любом случае, что-то довольно подозрительное. Нет, конечно, что касается его журнала, то там, возможно, все в порядке, я ничего не хочу сказать...


    • "I explained to them that we're not married anymore and as a special concession they've agreed to halve the ransom money to a quarter of a million dollars. Now, I know that's a lot of money,... but you're the only person I know..." (DL: 281)


    "Я объяснил им, что мы уже не муж и жена, и в качестве особого одолжения они согласились уменьшить сумму выкупа до четверти миллиона долларов. Конечно, я понимаю, что это очень большие деньги,... но ты единственный человек из всех, кого я знаю..."


    Другими разновидностями функции привлечения внимания можно считать те случаи, когда частица now выступает как средство когезии и в рамках монолога маркирует переход к новой теме, возврат к прежней теме или переход к заключению:
    - переход к новой теме

    • "That's very kind of you."


    "You're welcome. Now, where do I check in?" (DL: 18)


    "Очень любезно с вашей стороны."


    "Не стоит. Так, где мне зарегистрироваться?"


    - возврат к прежней теме

    • "Some of one's former students do rather presume on the relationship... Now, where were we? Yeats's death wish..." (DL: 157)


    "Некоторые из твоих бывших студентов порой излишне злоупотребляют знакомством с тобой... Так, на чем мы там остановились? Предсмертное желание Йейтса..."


    - переход к заключению

    • "It couldn't very well have been someone from outside."


    "No," agreed Bundle, more readily this time.


    "Very well. Now, that narrows down things considerably..." ( AC1: 55)


    "Это ведь не мог быть кто-нибудь из посторонних."


    "Нет," согласилась Бандл, на этот раз с большей готовностью.


    "Прекрасно. Так, значит это существенно сужает список подозреваемых."


    Иногда частица now, также как и составная частица now then, при употреблении в функции привлечения внимания фактически представляет собой обращение, так что в качестве ее эквивалента хорошо подходит русская форма привлечения внимания послушай(те):

    • " Now, Margaret, you know I didn't mean it like that; don't be ridiculous..."(KA: 76)


    " Послушай, Маргарет, ты же знаешь, я не это хотел сказать, к чему эта нелепая комедия?"


    • " Now then, Alfred, have you got a cupboard downstairs where you could shove all this glass?" ( AC1: 87)


    " Послушай, Альфред, у тебя есть наверху шкаф, в который ты мог бы засунуть всю эту посуду?"


    Употребление частицы now при обращении напрямую перекликается с ее способностью выступать в побудительной функции. Рассмотрим следующие примеры:

    Now, shut up, Hazel! (Pr: 26)


    Да замолчи ты, Хейзел!


    Now, stop it, both of you. (Pr: 232)


    Ну-ка прекратите, вы обе!


    • "Now, now, that's enough," said Felix Skinner, trying to interpose himself between the two men. (DL: 174)


    "Ладно, ладно, хватит", закричал Феликс Скиннер, пытаясь встать между двумя мужчинами.


    • " Now, Mack," said Mrs Corcoran, but it was too late. He was crying again. (DT: 443)


    " Не надо, Мэк", сказала миссис Коркоран, но было уже поздно. Он опять плакал.


    Как видно, в первых двух примерах частица употребляется при глаголах в повелительном наклонении и используется для усиления побудительности. В третьем примере мы наблюдаем повтор частицы, что, кстати, следует признать довольно частотным в ситуациях, подобных описанным в этом и следующем примерах, то есть когда частица используется для того, чтобы остановить или предупредить некое действие, в особенности, когда нужно кого-то успокоить или утешить. Отметим, что в двух последних примерах now употребляется без глагола в императиве, и идентифицировать ее функцию помогает контекст, в частности глаголы interpose (третий пример) и cry (четвертый пример). Из примеров также хорошо видно, что перевод частицы now в побудительной функции сильно зависит от конкретной ситуации.
    Последняя функция частицы now, на которой нам хотелось бы остановиться - это функция выражения колебания (хезитация). Употребление частицы сигнализирует о размышлениях или колебании говорящего, и в этой своей функции now ближе всего подходит к другой частице, для которой упомянутая функция является основной, то есть к well. Неслучайно и совпадение русских эквивалентов, здесь обычно употребляются русские частицы ну и так:

    • " Now where shall we put them?" ( AC1: 11)


    "Так, ну где мы их поставим?"


    • She turns on the night-table lamp again. Now where are the pills? Oh, yes, on the chest... (DL: 87)


    Она снова включает ночник. Так, где же таблетки? Ах да, на комоде...
