| | | | | | Purpose: Encyclopedia II - Runs created - Purpose James explains in his Bill James Historical Baseball Abstract why runs created is an essential thing to measure:
With regard to an offensive player, the first key question is how many runs have resulted from what he has done with the bat and on the basepaths. Willie McCovey hit .270 in his career, with 353 doubles, 46 triples, 521 home runs and 1,345 walks -- but his job was not to hit doubles, nor to hit singles, nor to hit triples, nor to draw walks or even hit home runs, but rather to put runs on the scoreboard. How many runs resulted from all of ...

| | | | | Purpose: Encyclopedia II - Face transplant - Purpose People with faces disfigured by burns, trauma, disease or birth defects might benefit from the procedure.
The alternative to a face transplant is to move the patient's own skin from their back, buttocks or thighs to their face in a series of as many as 50 operations to regain even limited function and a face that is often likened to a mask or a living quilt.
Dr. L. Scott Levin, chief of plastic and reconstructive surgery at the Duke University Medical Center, has described the procedure as "the single most ...

| | | | | | | Purpose: Encyclopedia II - Nineteen Day Feast - Purpose Bahá'ís see the Feast in both practical and spiritual terms. It is both an administrative meeting, and at the same time it is an uplifting spiritual event, and thus it has a central purpose to the Bahá'í community life.
The following quites illustrate the dual nature of the Bahá'í feast.
"...The main purpose of the Nineteen Day Feasts is to enable individual believers to offer any suggestion to the Local Assembly which in its turn will pass it to the National Spiritual Assembly. The Local Assembly is, therefore, ...

| | | | | | Purpose: Encyclopedia II - Ostracism - Purpose A practice like ostracism, carried out by thousands of people over many decades of an evolving political situation and culture, cannot express a single monumental purpose. Still, observations can be made about outcomes, as well as about the kinds of scenarios its designers and users may have envisioned it being deployed against.
The first rash of people ostracised in the decade after the defeat of the first Persian invasion at Marathon in 492 BC were all related or connected to the tyrant Peisistratos, who had controlled Athens for 36 ...

| | | | | Purpose: Encyclopedia II - Westboro Baptist Church - Purpose Phelps has stated many purposes for Westboro, some of which appear to be inherently contradictory. Note the statements below, which indicate that their purpose is to cause people not to repent and to repent at the same time:
We don't picket to win people over, idiot. It's to harden people's hearts. Make them hate. Make them hate God even more than they already do.
Our goal is to preach the Word of God to this crooked and perverse generation. By our words, some will repent. By our words, some ...

| | | | | Purpose: Encyclopedia II - Tattoo - Purpose Historically, the record of human history shows that tattoos have served in many various and diverse cultures as rites of passage, marks of status and rank, symbols of religious and spiritual devotion, decorations for bravery, sexual lures and marks of fertility, pledges of love, punishment, amulets and talisman, protection and as the marks of outcasts, slaves and convicts.
Today, people choose to be tattooed for cosmetic, religious and magical reasons, as well as as a symbol of belonging to or identification with particular groups (s ...

| | | | | | Purpose: Encyclopedia II - Telephone game - Purpose The game has no objective, and no winner - the entertainment comes from comparing the original and final messages. Even if the line is not completed, the last few people to receive the message can compare this with the original, and some messages will be unrecognisable after only a few steps.
Besides being a fun game, the meaning created by this activity is the important truth about how easily information can become corrupted by indirect communication. The game has been used in schools to simulate the spread of gossip and its harmful effects, and has implications in many adult topic ...

| | | | | | Purpose: Encyclopedia II - Trajan's Column - Purpose It was traditionally thought that the Column was a propagandistic monument, glorifying the emperor's military exploits. However, the structure would have been generally invisible and surrounded by other buildings in Trajan's Forum, and because of the difficulty involved in following the frieze from end to end, it is now considered to have had much less propaganda value. Based on the inscription, the column may have been a measuring guide for the construction of the forum.
After Trajan's death in 117, the Roman Senate voted to have Trajan's ashes buried in the Column's base in a gol ...

| | | | | Purpose: Encyclopedia II - Eagle Claw - Purpose Many people today study martial arts primarily as sport or exercise, for fun or health. Even so, Eagle Claw’s main historical emphasis has been on fighting. In particular, its seizing and locking techniques have genuine value for self-defense in close encounters. However, the antiquated weaponry of ancient China has little to no value for modern military practice and is unlikely to come in handy in a self-defense situation. Instead, weapons training has become more performance-oriented and a way to build strength and coordination. That sai ...

| | | | | | Purpose: Encyclopedia II - Duck and Cover film - Purpose After nuclear weapons were developed, (the first having been developed during the Manhattan Project during World War II) it was realized what kind of danger they posed. The United States held a nuclear monopoly from the end of the World War II until 1949, when the Soviets detonated their first nuclear device.
This signaled the beginning of the nuclear stage of the Cold War, and as a result, strategies for survival were thought out. Fallout shelters, both private and public, were built, but the government still viewed it as necessary t ...
