| | | | 10-29: Encyclopedia II - Return of the Living Dead - The Return of the Living Dead
Return of the Living Dead - Plot.
Medical supply warehouse foreman Frank (James Karen) informs his new protege, Freddy (Thom Matthews) that Night of the Living Dead was a true story, based on events that occurred when a gas (2-4-5 Trioxin) was released into the morgue in the basement of a VFW hospital. As a matter of fact, the warehouse was in the inadvertent recipient of a canister of Trioxin years ago, complete with a dead body--"Tarman"-- sealed inside. Due to the canister's less than stellar durability ...

| | | | 10-29: Encyclopedia II - Short selling - Concept Short selling is the opposite of "going long". The short seller takes a fundamentally negative, or "bearish" stance, anticipating that the price of the shorted stock will fall (not rise as in long buying), and it will be possible to buy at a lower price whatever was sold, thereby making a profit ("selling high and buying low," to reverse the adage). The act of buying back the shares which were sold short is called 'covering the short'. Day traders and hedge funds will often use short selling to allow them to profit on trading in stocks which ...

| | | | 10-29: Encyclopedia II - Flower-class corvette - Design and construction The design of the Flower class was derived from that of a whale catcher, the Southern Pride of Smith's Dock Company of Middlesborough. Originally intended for coastal convoy protection, nevertheless they soon found themselves in the role of ocean escort. They were a stopgap measure to take the strain of convoy protection until large numbers of larger vessels — destroyers and frigates — could be produced. Their simple design using parts common to merchant shipping meant they could be constructed in small commerical shipyards all over the United Kingdom and east ...

Many were constructed for or transferred to other navies, including the Royal Netherlands Navy, the Royal Hellenic Navy, the Free French and French Navy, the Royal Norwegian Navy, the Indian Navy and United States Navy during and after the war.

The Flowers had seen years of hard service in the Atlantic and had been made obsolete by the larger frigates and destroyers. 32 were sold on to the navies of Chile, the Dominican Republic, Greece, India, the Republic of Ireland, South Africa, and Venezuela where some served, typically as coastal patrol vessels, until the 1970s.

| | | | 10-29: Encyclopedia II - Short selling - Strategies
Short selling - Against the box.
One variant of selling short involves a long position. "Selling short against the box" is holding a long position on which one enters a short sell order. The term box alludes to the days when a safe deposit box was used to store (long) shares. The purpose of this technique is to lock in paper profits on the long position without having to sell that position (and possibly incur taxes if said position has appreciated). Whether prices increase or decrease, the short position balances the long position and the profits are locked in (les ...

| | | | 10-29: Encyclopedia II - Short selling - Risk It is important to note that buying shares and then selling them (called "going long") has a very different risk profile from selling short. In the former case, losses are limited (the price can only go down to zero) but gains are unlimited (there is no limit on how high the price can go). In short selling, this is reversed, meaning the possible gains are limited (the stock can only go down to a price of zero), and the seller can lose more than the original value of the share, with no upper limit. For this reason, short selling is usually used as part of a hedge rather t ...

Short selling - Hedge funds.
It should be noted that short selling by hedge funds frequently represents only one leg of a more complex set of transactions which fall into a broad range of investment strategies (see hedge fund).
Short selling - Futures contracts.
When dealing with futures contracts, being 'short' means having the obligation to deliver something (of course, one may intend to buy back the contract). This is often an instrument used by producers to fix the price of goods they have yet to produce. It may just as well be used by speculators.

| | | | 10-29: Encyclopedia II - Short selling - Opinions Short sellers have a negative reputation to some. Businesses hate short sellers who target them, as the short selling drives down the price of their stock and puts the short sellers in a position to benefit from the business's misfortune, while also creating ripe opportunities for conspiracies against the business, especially anonymous rumors. Others portray short sellers as ghoulish characters who hope for catastrophes. There was a practice throughout the 19th century of borrowing people's shares, selling them, then floating horrible rumors ...

| | | | 10-29: Encyclopedia II - Return of the Living Dead - Return of the Living Dead Part II The second film was written and directed by Ken Wiederhorn. The plot follows seven people as they attempt to escape their city after a mass of undead are awaken due to a barrel full of gas that was left over from the first film. In what was considered by many to be a strange (and to some, sick) marketing strategy, the film was partially targeted towards children, with a main plotline (reminiscent of ET and The Goonies) revolving around a young boy's attempts to fell the zombies.
The film ...

| | | | 10-29: Encyclopedia II - Short selling - History Short selling has been a target of ire since at least the 17th century when England banned it outright. Short sellers are widely regarded with suspicion because, to many people, they are profiting from the misfortune of others. However, less than 5% of all shorts are done by public investors and traders, whereas at least 95% of short sales are done by broker-dealers and market makers who do not even always have to own shares to sell them (i.e. Naked Short Selling).
The term "short" was in use from at least the mid-19th century. It is commonly understood that "short" is used because the short seller is in a d ...

| | | | 10-29: Encyclopedia II - Return of the Living Dead - Return of the Living Dead III The third film was produced and directed by Brian Yuzna, noted for making the Re-Animator series. This film switches gears from the first two films' comedy/horror formula, instead being somewhat of a romantic drama/softcore porn/horror film. The story involves Curt, whose father, a Colonel in the US Army, is overseeing experiments being performed with Trioxin. After Curt's girlfriend, Julie, is killed in a motorcycle accident, he exposes her corpse to the gas, bringing her back to life as a zombie. Curt discovers, though, that by causing Jul ...
