The City And The Stars
''The City and the Stars'' is a science fiction novel by British writer Arthur C. Clarke, published in 1956. This novel is a complete rewrite of Clarke's earlier '' Against the Fall of Night'', his first novel, which had been published in ''Startling Stories'' magazine in 1948 after being rejected by the editor of ''Astounding Science-Fiction'', according to the author. Several years later, Clarke revised his novel extensively and renamed it ''The City and the Stars''. The new version was intended to showcase what he had learned about writing, and about information processing. The major differences are in individual scenes and in the details of his contrasting civilizations of Diaspar and Lys. ''Against the Fall of Night'' remained popular enough to stay in print after ''The City and the Stars'' had been published. In introductions to it Clarke has told the anecdote of a psychiatrist and patient who admitted that they had discussed it one day in therapy, without realizing at the ...

LYS (sailing)
Svenskt Respitsystem (SRS), formerly known as Leading Yard Stick and Lidingö Municipality, Lidingö Yard Stick (LYS). SRS is a semi-empirically based handicapping system used in yacht racing in the Nordic countries. The first version of the handicap system was developed in 1970 by the Swedish yacht designer Lars-Olof Norlin. He based the system on regatta results from the Round Lidingö Race. His own design, Allegro 27, was used as the benchmark and was by definition assigned a LYS value of 1.00. Every yacht model has a SRS number that was previously based on results in regattas or, for new models, based on a velocity prediction program (VPP) as in International Measurement System, IMS and some other handicapping systems. The SRS number is multiplied by the measured time in order to get the handicap corrected time. Thus, a yacht with SRS 1.30 needs to sail at least 30% faster than a yacht with SRS 1.00 to win over it. Trimarans of the type open OMRA 60, designed for racing only, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
