309. The road to enlightenment....

What is the following an example of:

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat
hacking at the PDP-6.

"What are you doing?" asked Minsky.

"I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-tac-toe," Sussman
replied.

"Why is the net wired randomly?", asked Minsky.

"I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play," Sussman said.

Minsky then shut his eyes.

"Why do you close your eyes?" Sussman asked his teacher.

"So that the room will be empty."

At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

308. Off with his head (but they couldn't get rid of his shadow)...

The Turkish-Greco school of shadow puppetry gets its name from the name of a labourer (the name translates into Blackeye in English) active during the construction of a mosque in Bursa during the reign of Orhan I. The labourer and his compatriot (who is also an integral part of these plays) used to entertain other labourers during construction time and were executed for the resulting delay of the work. The saving grace was that they became folk heroes!!

The plays themselves are structured into four parts – Mukaddime (the introduction), Muhavere (the dialog), Fasil (the main plot) and Bitiş (the conclusion).

Identify this art form which is especially associated with the holy month of Ramzan.

307. The insights of one Alan Greenspan....

As chairman of the Federal Reserve, Alan Greenspan was known for using quirky, proletariat metrics to judge the temperature of the economy. The most famous of these, as recounted by NPR's Robert Krulwich in January 2008, were the sales of X.

"If you look at sales of X it's just pretty much a flat line, it hardly ever changes," Krulwich recounted after the publishing of Greenspan's book, "The Age Of Turbulence." "But on those few occasions where it dips, it is almost always a prescient, forward impression that here comes trouble.'"

So what did Greenspan identify as the perfect recession indicator?

305. The farewell ride?

So tenderly
Your story is
Nothing more
Than what you see
Or
What you've done
Or will become
Standing strong
Do you belong
In your skin 
Just wondering
Gentle now 
The tender breeze 
Blows
Whispers through 
My ____ ______
Whistling another 
Tired song

304. The Morea and the reinstated Morte!

During the Middle Ages, this peninsula forming the southern most part of Greece was known as the Morea, primarily because the Crusaders found the region densely planted with mulberry trees used by the flourishing silk industry.

But it derives its current (as well as antique) name from an ancient hero who was ritually brought back to life after his father fed him to the Gods in a savage banquet.
