The allusion being to the personification of a capitalist state (as distinct from Uncle Sam for the US, Britannia for Great Britain, Marianne for France, Uma Bharti for India, and so on) fondly called Gloria by economist mavens.

From Moha, enchanting, Mohit, enchanted. To stretch a point, Moha = charm, Mohit = charmed (not charming). Add more friends to your messenger and enjoy! Go to http://messenger.yahoo.com/invite/

Re: [silk] Manning the barricades
Sic transit gloria mundi. It means so passes the world's glory -- sic = so as in so is it always for tyrants which John Wilkes Booth said before he shot Abraham Lincoln (Sic semper tyrannus). transit = passes or goes (obviously they based the Latin word on our English word, before inventing their time machine to go back 2500 years) gloria = glory -- like the U2 song -- or glory to God in the highest (Gloria in excelcious Dieu)... forgive all spelling errors which are cleverly intentional as sublime satire... yeah... right... :-) -- much like Bono must be short for Bonobashi :-) mundi = like spiritus mundi from the opening track of Synchronicity by the Police Like many things, popular music has the answers. :-)

Re: [silk] Manning the barricades
Yeah, I've got my problems. I still think the opposite of increment is excrement... :-)
Re: [silk] Manning the barricades
Oh you poor guy! Getting an increment must have been a very painful part of your life then. It's not completely berift of logic. If the opposite of incremental growth is excremental fall, it could explain the economic shit storm the US is in.
Re: [silk] Yet another introduction (Venkat Inumella)
Re: various interesting names I had gone to a wildlife photography meet in Mysore and met a gentleman who is a camera fanatic; he knows cameras, literally, inside out. He said that he had named his two sons Canon and Nikon (no jokes, they are their middle names.). So we quickly rallied and asked him, what if they had been daughters? I had it all worked out, he replied. Yashica and Konika. This gentleman often posts photographs of the various parts of a DSLR camear on this wildlife photography photosite, from the smallest ..er...nut onwards. Makes one realize just how complex a piece of precision engineering a digital camera is! Cheers, Deepa.
Re: [silk] Urban Rhythms
2009/3/16 Carol Upadhya carol.upad...@gmail.com This is interesting, especially in view of the ongoing project in Bangalore to mine cell phone data to help the traffic police predict traffic jams: http://www.mapunity.in/ I don't know whether this initiative has been discussed on silklist or not. Two bits: 1. Mapunity's Bangalore Traffic Information System at btis.in calculates traffic density as a function of the number of connections to neighbouring cell towers, using data provided by Airtel. 2. I now work with Mapunity, bringing me that much closer to my long term interest in geolocation. My engagement is flexible at this time and I'm making it up as I go along. I like it. -- Kiran Jonnalagadda http://jace.seacrow.com/
