Beastie (Alton Towers)
Beastie was a Steel roller coaster, steel family roller coaster made by Pinfari of Italy. The coaster was located in the Alton Towers#Adventure Land, Adventure Land area of Alton Towers in Staffordshire, England. The ride featured a tunnel and performed two laps of the circuit each run. Originally opening in the Festival Park (now Dark Forest) area of the park under the name Mini-Dragon, it allowed younger visitors of the park to experience the thrill of a roller coaster. It was renamed in 1987 to just the "Dragon". In 1993 it was then moved to the Thunder Valley section of the park where it assumed the name "Beastie" after a larger roller coaster in the area, called The Beast. It stayed here for several years, up to the 1998 season when it was moved to the Adventure Land section of the park. The ride was very compact and contained several head chopper effects. In 2009, it became the Alton Towers' oldest operating roller-coaster following the closure of the Corkscrew (Alton Tow ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
William Sleator
William Warner Sleator III (February 13, 1945 – August 3, 2011), known as William Sleator, was an American science fiction author who wrote primarily young adult novels but also wrote for younger readers. His books typically deal with adolescents coming across a peculiar phenomenon related to an element of theoretical science, then trying to deal with the situation. The theme of family relationships, especially between siblings, is frequently intertwined with the science fiction plotline. Due to the suspenseful and often eerie nature of some of his works, Sleator has been compared to young-adult horror writer R. L. Stine (who has identified himself as a fan of Sleator's work). Others cite a strong resemblance to the paranoid, dream-like style of Franz Kafka, which is most notable in '' House of Stairs'', one of Sleator's more popular novels. Biography Early life, family and education Sleator, the oldest of four siblings, was born in Havre de Grace, Maryland, to William Warne ...

Beastie (mascot)
The BSD Daemon, nicknamed Beastie, is the generic mascot of Berkeley Software Distribution, BSD operating systems. The BSD Daemon is named after ''Daemon (computing), software daemons'', a class of long-running computer programs in Unix-like operating systems—which, through a play on words, takes the cartoon shape of a demon. The BSD Daemon's nickname ''Beastie'' is a slurred phonetic (in American English) pronunciation of ''BSD''. Beastie customarily carries a trident to symbolize a software daemon's Fork (system call), forking of Process (computing), processes. The FreeBSD web site has noted Evi Nemeth's 1988 remarks about cultural-historical daemons in the ''Unix System Administration Handbook'': "The ancient Greeks' concept of a 'personal daemon' was similar to the modern concept of a 'guardian angel' ... As a rule, UNIX systems seem to be infested with both daemons and demons." Copyright The copyright on the official BSD Daemon images is owned by Marshall Kirk McKusick, a v ...

The Dreaming
The Dreaming, also referred to as Dreamtime, is a term devised by early anthropologists to refer to a religio-cultural worldview attributed to Australian Aboriginal mythology. It was originally used by Francis Gillen, quickly adopted by his colleague Walter Baldwin Spencer, and thereafter popularised by A. P. Elkin, who later revised his views. The Dreaming is used to represent Aboriginal concepts of "Everywhen", during which the land was inhabited by ancestral figures, often of heroic proportions or with supernatural abilities. The term is based on a rendition of the Arandic word , used by the Aranda (Arunta, Arrernte) people of Central Australia, although it has been argued that it is based on a misunderstanding or mistranslation. Some scholars suggest that the word's meaning is closer to "eternal, uncreated". Anthropologist William Stanner said that the concept was best understood by non-Aboriginal people as "a complex of meanings". ''Jukurrpa'' is a widespread term us ...
