King Pheidon coined the silver coins at Aegina, at the temple of the goddess of wisdom and war Athena the Aphaia (the vanisher), and engraved the coins with a Chelone, which is used until nowdays as a symbol of capitalism.
In case an individual or a community refuses to accept mone(y) as the unique medium of exchange, then the powerful mone(y) maker authority, using violence and the taxes procedure, steals the real value goods (home,food,transport,energy) that the individual or the community owns.
After all, gold, or platinum, or silver, have in some regards less utility than previously (their electrical properties notwithstanding), while currency backed by energy (measured in joules) or by transport (measured in kilogramme*kilometre/hour) or by food [3] is also possible and may be accepted by the people, if legalised.

 Laser - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
The basic physics of lasers centres around the idea of producing a population inversion in a laser medium by "pumping" the medium; i.e., by supplying energy in the form of light or electricity, for example.
If the light is circulating through the medium by means of a cavity resonator, and the gain (amplification) in the medium is stronger than the resonator losses, the power of the circulating light can rise exponentially.
An unforeseen discovery counter to expected and long-held laser properties, lasing without maintaining the medium excited into a population inversion, was discovered in sodium gas in 1992 and again in 1995 each in sodium and rubidium gas by various international teams.

 Sound - Open Encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
Sound is a mechanical compression and rarefaction or a longitudinal displacement wave that propagates through a medium (solid, liquid or gas).
The speed of this propagation depends on the type, temperature and pressure of the medium.
While sound waves are usually visualised as sine waves, sound waves can have arbitrary shapes and frequency content, limited only by the apparatus that generates them and the medium through which they travel.

Heavy tanks continued to be developed and fielded until the 1960's and 70's along with medium's, but new anti-tank technology such as guided missiles rendered them ineffective in that role.
Medium tanks were just as vulnerable, but had higher battlefield mobility and were less costly.
These medium weight tanks had come to be known as Main Battle Tanks, in reflection of their role, and would become the heaviest fielded direct fire weapons with the end of heavy tanks (which are also still called MBT's somtimes).

Film — also called movies, the cinema, the silver screen, moving pictures, motion pictures, photoplays, picture shows, and flicks — is a field that encompasses motion pictures as an art form or as part of the entertainment industry.
Improvements since the late 1800s include the mechanization of cameras, allowing them to record at a consistent speed, the invention of more sophisticated filmstocks and lenses, allowing directors to film in increasingly dim conditions, and the development of synchronized sound, allowing sound to be recorded at exactly the same speed as its corresponding video.
As a medium, film is not limited to motion pictures, since the technology developed as the basis for photography.

The symbol cells, in turn, ordinarily are tiled onto the recording medium in accordance with a preselected spatial formatting rule, so the logical order of the data values that the glyphs encode is preserved by the spatial order in which the glyphs are mapped onto the recording medium.
For example, the symbol cells may be written on the recording medium in accordance with a regular and repeating spatial formatting rule that is selected to map the glyph encodings into a two dimensional, rectangular array of logical data blocks of predetermined size, such as data blocks having a 16 symbol cell.times.16 symbol cell format.

 Noun and verb disambiguation: a comparison with application to machine translation
Noun sense disambiguation is based on a corpus of 600 million words from the New York Times, from which a mutual information model of co-occurring words has been derived.
We then apply machine learning techniques to disambiguate the sense of a noun in the context it is being used.
We will present verb sense disambiguation results using these techniques, and compare them with the the results based on the techniques we have used for noun sense disambiguation.

 WAVE FACTS AND INFORMATION
Apart from electromagnetic_radiation, and probably gravitational_radiation, which can travel through vacuum, waves exist in a medium (which on deformation is capable of producing elastic restoring forces) through which they travel and can transfer energy from one place to another without any of the particles of the medium being displaced permanently; i.e.
The amplitude of a wave is the measure of the magnitude of the maximum disturbance in the medium during one wave cycle, and is measured in units depending on the type of wave.
For examples, waves on a string have an amplitude expressed as a distance (meters), sound waves as pressure (pascals) and electromagnetic waves as the amplitude of the electric_field (volts/meter).

In 1637 he published a theory of the refraction of light which wrongly assumed that light travelled faster in a denser medium, by analogy with the behaviour of sound waves.
Newton's theory could be used to predict the reflection of light, but could only explain refraction by incorrectly assuming that light accelerated upon entering a denser medium because the gravitational pull was greater.
Faraday proposed in 1847 that light was a high-frequency electromagnetic vibration, which could propagate even in the absence of a medium such as the aether.
