The book-to give fair warning-book is filled with unique translations of common terminology. Each of the book’s chapters completely re-interprets one fundamental concept, such as meditation 禅, breath 気, absence 無, emptiness 空, rivers-and-mountains 山川, dark enigma 玄. Hinton examines the Chinese characters in their historical context-from modern writing to ancient scripts, like the Oracle Bone script. His methodology in uncovering the original understanding of Zen-continued here from his previous books Hunger Mountain and the Awakened Cosmos-is not unlike that of Heidegger in seeking to illuminate our preconceived notions vis-à-vis an analysis of language and etymology. The original nexus of meaning and practice of Chinese Zen or Chan is, he argues, almost entirely missing from the Anglophone tradition. This issue of translation is at the core of China Root, which discusses the ways in which Zen Buddhism has been mistranslated into English and therefore misunderstood. Re-interpreting fundamental concepts in Chinese landscape painting, poetry, and philosophy, his books aim to serve as a more authentic guide to Chinese thinking. Hinton has more recently been recognized for his books in prose. Differing worldviews make translations particularly tricky, which is why it is crucial that translations of the Chinese classics be informed by a firm understanding of ancient philosophical notions and practices. In addition, his innovative translations of Chinese poetry-including in-depth treatments of Li Po and Du Fu-have earned him numerous awards. Hinton, who began his career as a translator, was notably the first person in over a hundred years to create new versions in English of the four classics of Chinese philosophy. It was, in other words, a match made in heaven.Ĭhina Root: Taoism, Ch’an, and Original Zen, David Hinton (Shambhala, September 2020) While Hinton is not the first thinker to posit a strong influence of Daoism on Zen, he argues that in addition to the issues of translation, there were elements of the new religion from India that resonated strongly with the native Daoist belief system. This is because the Zen we know from Japan had already lost much of the original Daoist underpinnings of Chinese Zen-known as Chan-even before the religion traveled across the Pacific to America.Īs it is generally understood, as early thinkers in China grappled with the new philosophy from India and struggled to work out issues of localization, it was only natural that things would be reinterpreted through the lens of the native belief system-in this case, Daoism. In his latest book, David Hinton says that we in the West are not just once-removed from the original Zen-but twice removed. And when one language is translated and assimilated into another, it is inevitable that some conceptual connections will be lost and the meaning of ideas altered. ![]() ![]() Terminology had to be assimilated, for one thing.

They finished sixth (second bottom) with ten points in Group 2. In the 2006 FIFA World Cup qualifiers Georgia beat Albania 2–0 at home and Kazakhstan away 2–1. The team finished fifth (and last) with seven points in their qualifying group for Euro 2004, although they defeated Russia with a goal scored by Malkhaz Asatiani. This marked the beginning of a period of decline for Georgian football.

Georgia failed to qualify for 1998 FIFA World Cup in France, obtaining 10 points and finishing in fourth place, level on points with Poland. Georgia finished third in their group, ahead of Moldova, Wales and Albania, but seven points behind second-placed qualifier Bulgaria. The first of these came in September 1994, a 1–0 defeat to Moldova as part of the qualifiers for Euro 1996. The Georgian Football Federation became a member of both UEFA and FIFA in 1992, enabling Georgia to play competitive matches. Soon afterwards the team played another friendly match against Moldova. ![]() This was the only match prior to the declaration of independence on 9 April 1991. The match was held on at national stadium. The history of the Georgia national football team began in 1990, when the team played their first international match against Lithuania, the first country to accept an invitation. Home games are played at the Boris Paichadze Dinamo Arena in Tbilisi. The team have attempted to qualify for each major tournament from Euro 1996 onwards, but have not achieved qualification yet, although they came very close to Euro 2020. The Georgian team's first match took place in 1990, while Georgia was still part of the Soviet Union.

Though what you’re served at the Raffles Hotel leaves something to be desired, the bones are there to indeed make a terrific drink-bracing with gin and high-proof liqueurs, juicy with cherry, with Bénédictine’s cinnamon and nutmeg giving the pineapple a seductive spice. Someone wants a Singapore Sling: Do we excavate the original recipe and give them what they’re not expecting and perhaps don’t want? And which “original” do we use anyway? Or do we make the best we can from the recipe that’s been the default for the last 50 years, inauthentic as it may be? ![]() So we’re back to the foundations, and our spinning compass. Nonetheless, the Raffles’ claim stuck and stuck early, and writers refer to the drink as belonging to the hotel as early as the mid 1920s. The problem with all of this is that it’s not true-“a bunch of malarkey,” according to diligent cocktail historian David Wondrich-who discovered that by 1915 the Singapore Sling had been ubiquitous on the island for nearly 20 years and was more popular at the bar of a local department store than it was at the hotel. When I was at the Raffles in 2016, you couldn’t go 50 feet without seeing a reference to the famous cocktail and its recently celebrated 100th birthday. Inside, you’ll see many references to the hotel’s Long Bar, and the Singapore Sling, which everyone will tell you bartender Ngiam Tong Boon invented there in 1915. On the south end of Singapore just a few blocks northeast of the downtown core sits the grand Raffles Hotel, as it has since 1887, a beautifully restored relic of the city’s colonial history.

The game resonated with people wanting cheap entertainment in the Great Depression-era economy. Selling for $17.50, the game dispensed five to seven balls for a penny. In 1931 David Gottlieb's Baffle Ball became the first hit of the coin-operated era. The table was under glass and used Montague Redgrave's plunger device to propel the ball into the upper playfield. 1932īy the 1930s, manufacturers were producing coin-operated versions of bagatelles, now known as "marble games" or "pin games". Redgrave's popularization of the spring launcher and innovations in game design are acknowledged as the birth of pinball in its modern form.Īn early pinball game without flippers, c. The balls became marbles and the wickets became small metal pins. The game also shrank in size to fit atop a bar or counter. Patent #115,357 for his "Improvements in Bagatelle", another name for the spring launcher that was first introduced in Billard japonais. In 1869, British inventor Montague Redgrave settled in the United States and manufactured bagatelle tables in Cincinnati, Ohio. 1869: Spring launchers become mainstream The player shot balls up the inclined playfield toward the scoring targets using this plunger, a device that remains in use in pinball to this day, and the game was also directly ancestral to pachinko. Also called Stosspudel, it used thin metal pins and replaced the cue at the player's end of the table with a coiled spring and a plunger. Somewhere between the 1750s and 1770s, the bagatelle variant Billard japonais, or Japanese billiards in English, was invented in Western Europe, despite its name. A standardized version of the game eventually became known as bagatelle. Players could ricochet balls off the pins to achieve the more challenging scorable holes. Pins took too long to reset when knocked down, so they were eventually fixed to the table, and holes in the table's bed became the targets. In France, during the long 1643–1715 reign of Louis XIV, billiard tables were narrowed, with wooden pins or skittles at one end of the table, and players would shoot balls with a stick or cue from the other end, in a game inspired as much by bowling as billiards. It already has a spring mechanism to propel the ball, 100 years before Montague Redgrave's patent. Late 18th century: Spring launcher invented īillard japonais, Alsace, France c. The tabletop versions of these games became the ancestors of modern pinball. The evolution of outdoor games finally led to indoor versions that could be played on a table, such as billiards, or on the floor of a pub, like bowling and shuffleboard. Croquet, golf and pall-mall eventually derived from ground billiards variants. Games played outdoors by rolling balls or stones on a grass course, such as bocce or bowls, eventually evolved into various local ground billiards games played by hitting the balls with sticks and propelling them at targets, often around obstacles. The origins of pinball are intertwined with the history of many other games. History Pre-modern: Development of outdoor and tabletop ball games The biggest pinball machine manufacturers historically include Bally Manufacturing, Gottlieb, Williams Electronics and Stern Pinball.Ĭurrently active pinball machine manufacturers include Stern Pinball, Jersey Jack Pinball, American Pinball, Chicago Gaming Company, Pinball Brothers, Haggis Pinball, Dutch Pinball, Spooky Pinball and Multimorphic, Inc., as well as several smaller boutique manufacturers. Most pinball machines use one ball per turn (except during special multi-ball phases), and the game ends when the ball(s) from the last turn are lost. The game's object is generally to score as many points as possible by hitting these targets and making various shots with flippers before the ball is lost. Today, pinball is most commonly an arcade game in which the ball is fired into a specially designed cabinet known as a pinball machine, hitting various lights, bumpers, ramps, and other targets depending on its design. Historically the board was studded with nails called 'pins' and had hollows or pockets which scored points if the ball came to rest in them. Pinball games are a family of games in which a ball is propelled into a specially designed table where it bounces off various obstacles, scoring points either en route or when it comes to rest.

Again, you don’t need to as far as you can with the precision. You can fine tune the process by selecting the draw background option, to adjust the initial rough outline. When you release your mouse it should show up like the example. You can also change the foreground colour prior to selecting the foreground, to be more obvious whilst go through the process.

In a later section, I'll share a CLI tool that could help you remove the background automatically. I am going to show you how to do that step-by-step in this GIMP tutorial. While using an online tool like Canva is easier for this purpose, not everyone can opt for the premium plan.Īnd this is where you can use the free and open source tool GIMP to remove the background from an image. This is quite handy in graphic designing. If you put a transparent image on top of a blue image, the image will now have a blue background.
