Mariano Rivera Sets the All-Time Save Record With his 602nd Lifetime Save - by Moses

Mariano Rivera vs Trevor Hoffman

Rivera and Hoffman are considered the two greatest closers of all-time. Playing in the spotlight of New York, Rivera is a household name. This does not, however, preclude him from being considered anything other than brilliant.
Mariano looked poised to be the ‘Yanks setup man for years to come. When he surfaced in the ‘Bigs they already had established closer Tom Wetteland. Wetteland was signed by the Texas Rangers in the ‘96/’97 off-season, and Rivera inherited the role as closer. All Rivera has done since then is reel off eight 40+ save years with ten sub 2.00 E.R.A campaigns (a possible 11th this campaign). What makes Rivera truly special has been his performance in the Post-Season as he is currently 8-1 with 42 saves and sits with a 0.71 E.R.A over 139.2 Innings Pitched, winning 5 World Series Titles with the ‘Yanks. His playoff success was culminated by winning the ’99 World Series MVP Award. In fact tonight Rivera supplanted Trevor Hoffman as the all-time save leader with his 602nd save.
Hoffman, by comparison, slipped under the radar gun playing in the small market of San Diego. Nevertheless he was the current All-Time leader in career saves with 601, until tonight. Hoffman has posted nine seasons of 40+ saves. While not as accomplished as Rivera in Post-Season play, this may be attributed to not having nearly the same number of opportunities as Rivera has had, with the juggernaut Yankees.
Deciding who to choose as Closer is not an obvious choice. Let’s look at each pitcher’s average 162 game season;

Pitcher Wins Losses Saves IP H BB SO E.R.A

Rivera 5 4 39 78 61 18 72 2.22
Hoffman 4 5 39 72 56 20 74 2.87

Rivera is the more dominating of the two with respect to regular season statistics, only by a discrepancy in E.R.A. All the other regular season statistic, including yearly save totals, are close. Add to that Rivera's Post-Season numbers and it is safe to say that Major League Baseball is probably 50 years away from seeing a closer with Rivera's pedigree. Hoffman is still, however, an honourable mention.

Technological, Scientific, and Physics Principles - by Moses

Theory of Relativity

1 second = 1 day
Therefore 1 day = 236.71233 years
Therefore 1 year = 86,400 years

1 cent = $100
Therefore $100 = $1,000,000
Therefore $1,000,000 = 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

Energy = Mass x C x C (speed of light)
Mass = kinetic energy – undefined
C (speed of light) = defined by amount

In-motion – kinetic energy in its’ purest form is in-motion, undefined. This is also known as temporal time. Once temporal time is defined as spacial time (exact location, point to point), we see constellations and polar patterns. At this point, time can be quantized resulting in a shooting star. Interpolating data between two points, at absolute zero (-273 degrees centigrade or -454 degrees farenheit) cause these locations to be defined, similar to playing G-d. The paradox relationship of cause and effect is that of combustion, the big bang theory. Temporal is monitor in relation to
spacial – the source. Temporal is compression in relation to spacial – rarefaction. Temporal is temperature in relation to spacial – location. The discovery of Louis Theremin was Absolute Zero, the point at temporal time and spacial time parody. Therefore temporal is time and spacial is Frequency (A premise of the scientist Herz- a defined number of occurances over space and time). Temporal time = spacial time at Absolute Zero and at this point temporal is Amplitude (or power) and spacial is frequency (or pitch). Likewise as there is 60 seconds in a minute, temporal signifies these seconds. The micro-perspective (the measurements in between) is space, or spacial, undefined. Monitor and Source.


Triangular Effect

By taking a point on the x-axis point of origin, a point on the y-axis point of origin, and a point on the z-axis point of origin, one can locate a frequency (measurement of time). Keep in mind there are two points of origin set at (-0, -0, -0), one is the centre of the sphere and the second is similar to a satellite, sitting in space (0, 0, 0). Therefore should x = 1, y = 2, and z = 3 these following points (at x, y, z) will take place; (1, 2, 3), (0 , 2, 3), (1, 0, 3), (1, 2, 0), (0, 0, 0), and (-0, -0, -0). As per; three distinct points will allow you to locate exact location (a listing of co-ordinates), also known as the triangular effect. Three (Power Three)(Power Three) or 3 to the Power 27, at a Common Denominator. This is why in the movie ‘Stargate’ the 7th Symbol was the map of a star-constellation (the common denominator). 3 to the Power 27 is also referred to as the Death-star (from Star Wars), and at a common frequency it becomes a laser. Quantification is the legal term behind this premise.
A measurement of time can be temporal or spacial. In terms of a temporal state, frequency compresses and then dissipates. For example; 1 second is made up of 1000 milliseconds. After each millisecond there is change. In terms of spacial time, location or space, is ever changing (undefined) – hence the name space.


Principles

1. Point of origin can be a point in a sphere, outside this realm (space), and/or at a specific frequency. I) e.g. -0, -0, -0 (at core), 2) e.g. 0, 0, 0, (in space), 3) e.g. 0, 0, 0 @ 2 khz (common denominator).
2. Astrology is the Zodiac Map, time travel. Constellations are interpretations of this map. Each star has its’ own set of constellations.
3. The study of constellations, star-constellations is the interpretation of star-constellations, called astronomy.
4. Distance = Time (Herz) x Rate (speed-V).
5. Analog – Ana (diem –lifeforce) log (carpes – representation).
6. Navigation – slope = Q = M = Margin – trajectory – vision.
7. Distance = Pitch x Amplitude – frequencies { (number of occurances) x Amplitude (the undefined amount of energy it produces, known in Metric to be kilojoules – Rate – Metabolism - Physiology) } Frequency x Kinetic Energy (or Amplitude).


Space Travel

1. Travel is motion
2. Point to point
3. Velocity is the measurement of time
4. Stars that are in-motion are in time travel
5. Stars that move disperse, as motion internalized is called combustion
6. In medical terms combustion in severity is called catatonic
7. Space continuum is the foundation of locating frequencies
8. Quandrants in a sphere -4 quarters (*,*), (*,-), (-,-), (-,*)


Black Holes

Black is the culmination of all color and light. Transparency is the opposite of Black (or opaque). To see a transparent image there has to be an opaque surface to see the reflected light (transparency), and its’ ultimate destination is ‘Black light’ – refer to the back of mirror.
Looking into a ‘Black Hole’ is a paradox as this is only in reference to there being a destination after defining it to be a hole (empty). A ‘stargate’, theoretically, is the transference of energy thru this hole. Translucence in this example would be the atmosphere in which a person sees through upon opaque surfaces, essentially CO2.


Interpolation, Extrapolation, and Navigation

Interpolation – interpret, guess, projections
Extrapolation – To capture, seizing, diem, reverberence
Cartes – jeu-play-cards, pictures, vision, cortex

Carpes diem – Time period, a picture says a thousand words-years, seize the day, living in the moment, Reverberence, Leagues, Metric system, school of thought.
(Photo–graph) – (inverted to protect integrity – also known as the negatives)

Radius vs diameter – Ra-dius – half (days – Conscience, and nights – Sub-conscience)
Diem - Diameter – period, unit – doctrine - Science

Conveying Messages Through Subliminal Tape Feed - by Moses

It was in the 1950's when a Projectionist for a film company had an idea. For Theatre film why not insert a frame within 30 frames, of a picture of ice cold Coca-Cola to see if it would increase Coca-Cola sales at the Drive-ins. It worked like a charm, people flocked to the procession stands at the intermission in great numbers, and we saw the beginning of subliminal messaging within tape feeds in film. For the actual film tape, or audio tape for that matter, there are standard test frequencies to preserve the integrity of the broadcast (ie. 1khz, 5khz, and 10khz frequencies are test on analog audio tape, as a measure of insuring that the tape has not been altered from the manufacturing level). It is in the studio however, that the audio engineer has carte blanche in effecting and conveying message to the viewer before the finished product is released into production. Take for example panning signal into different tracks and mixed down to two-track. The engineer in the studio can actually make a statement on a headphone mix to stimulate different areas of the cognitive brain perceptions to guide the viewer into accepting the message that the artist is trying to convey in his/her music (a spacial mix). What would happen if the audio engineer inserted an extremely low-line level track within the mix to convey a message perceived subconsciously, yet not actually heard in conscious realms? This form of subliminal messaging is common place today, and leaves one to wonder if the de-regulated telecommunications industry is better off today than in years' past. This is not to say that subliminal messaging shouldn't exist, it's inevitable and has been around for as long as the recording process in film and audio has been around. In the audio realm there is what is known as precedence effect. This is a minute delay of 5-35 milliseconds, in which a signal is enhanced from the original sound by either a second identical sound broadcast 5-35 milliseconds later, or by panning effect (left signal first, followed by the right side appearing 5-35 ms later). This panning effect was first developed by a speaker manufacturer in the early 1920's, in the name of the Lesley Cabinet Speaker. It has a rotating motion in broadcasting from the source amplifier, giving the viewer the perception that the sound is louder from the side in which the signal is broadcast in origin, as the turning motion of the speaker is continuous. There is also what is known as doubling tracks to create this effect. This is when a second track is added for an instrument and played on top of the first track to add warmth and body to the recording in enhancing the message (especially on vocal tracks). It was in the late sixties that Led Zeppelin was accused of subconscious tape messaging in the form of recording demonic messages and playing them backwards. Did this actually occur? We still don't know definitively to this day.
In film however, there is a danger that subliminal messaging poses. The standard tape feed in film is 30 frames/second non-drop (drop for Television - simply meaning that it can appear to be spliced in T.V, and continuous for film). What would happen if instead of a random frame insertion of a man drinking Coca-Cola, there was a man with a gun pointed at his head? How would the audience' subconscious be effected? We have standards in film and audio tape for this reason in both the analog and digital domains. What we see in the digital domain that exists today is a feed with greater resolution. The concern that this writer has with this change in perception on the visual (or audio for that matter) is that the mapping may be skewed. This, in 'lamen' terms means that with such finite resolution, we aren't capable of digesting the subconscious messaging within the optical cabling. So if the feed is altered from another source (satellite), it could in fact be undetectable to our Government and cause widespread pandemonium. This is the premise; We have a film standard of 30 frames/second in North America. Some Terrorist faction routes one of our broadcasts into one of their satellites and breaks down the feed and creates 1000 frames for each frame. Now, there are 30,000 frames. They insert an image of their choice every 100 frames within the new 30,000 frame protocol. The Government has no idea that our population is being coerced into perceiving what it is that this terrorist faction wants us to believe in our subconscious state. By mapping each frame into 1000 frames and fragmenting the feed in this manner, one has a lost and disengaged connection to the broadcast.
This also works in the audio domain in the name of tape speed. We used to operate at 7.5 Inches/Second in recording studio's. Today we operate at a standard 30 inches per second. When we operated at 7.5 IPS we were maximizing domains, and it was a much more granular perception, in other words the vinyl that was made had greater warmth. One opinion would be to record at 7.5 IPS (to maximize domains) and map (transpose) to 30 IPS. This would convey the message of the feed more effectively to the viewer.
