torso: Encyclopedia II - Borg - The Borg as a cultural allusion

The Borg were a concept born out of necessity for Star Trek to feature a new heavy and regular enemy that was lacking during the first season of The Next Generation, now that the Klingons were allies, and the Romulans mostly absent. Originally intended as the new enemy for the United Federation of Planets, the Ferengi failed to assert themselves as a convincing threat because of their comical, unintimidating appearance and devotion to capitalist accumulation or "free enterprise". They were subsequently reassigned the role of annoying ...

torso: Encyclopedia II - Borg - Origin of the Borg

Over thousands of centuries, the Borg have encountered and assimilated thousands of species. However, little information regarding the true origin of the Borg millennia ago has been divulged in canon sources. Given this and the Borg species numbering system, it is probable that the species originally giving rise to the Borg would have been designated as Species 1. The Borg Queen is a member of species 125 – meaning she is of an early species assimilated by the Borg. Thus, species 125, or that particular individual, was an ideal choi ...

torso: Encyclopedia II - Borg - Overview

The Borg are an amalgam of humanoids of many different races that are enhanced with cybernetic implants, giving them improved mental and physical abilities. Although the cyborg concept has long existed within science-fiction literature, it is probable that the general concept of the Borg — a ruthlessly efficient race of biomechanical beings bent on galactic conquest — was heavily influenced by the Cybermen, which feature in the popular UK television series Doctor Who and who display similar rationales and methods as the Borg, incl ...

torso: Encyclopedia II - Weight training - Exercises for specific muscle groups

Main article: Weight training exercises Weight trainers commonly divide the body's individual muscles into ten major muscle groups. These do not include the hip, neck and forearm muscles, which are rarely trained in isolation. The most common exercises for these muscle groups are listed below [28]. The sequence shown below is one possible way to order the exercises. The large muscles of the lower body are normally trained before the smaller muscles of the upper body, because these first exercises require more mental and ...

torso: Encyclopedia II - Breast - Size shape and composition

Most of the human female breast is actually adipose tissue (fat) and connective tissue, rather than the mammary glands. There is naturally a great variety in the size and shape of breasts in women (and men), with size being affected by various factors including genetics. The primary anatomical support for the breasts is thought to be provided by the Cooper's ligaments, with additional support from the skin covering the breasts themselves, and it is this support which determines the shape of the breasts. The breasts naturally sag throu ...

torso: Encyclopedia II - Breast - Development

The development of a woman's breasts, during puberty, is caused by sex hormones, chiefly estrogen. This hormone has been demonstrated to cause the development of woman-like, enlarged breasts in men, a condition called gynecomastia, and is sometimes used deliberately for this effect in male-to-female sex reassignment surgery. A number of medical conditions are known to cause abnormal development of the breasts during puberty. Virginal breast hypertrophy is a condition which involves excessive growth of the breasts during puberty, and i ...

A brassiere (from French, lit: arm-holder) or bra is an item of women's underwear consisting of two cups that totally or partially cover the breasts for support and modesty. Being topless is the state of having bare breasts. For more on modesty regarding breasts, see Nudity. ...

torso: Encyclopedia II - Breast - Function

The function of the mammary glands in female breasts is to nurture the young by producing milk, which emanates from the nipples during lactation. However, zoologists point out that no female mammal other than the human has breasts of comparable size when not lactating, and this suggests that the external form of the breasts is connected to factors other than lactation alone. The mammary glands that secrete the milk from the breasts actually make up a relatively small fraction of the overall breast tissue. It is commonly assumed by bio ...

torso: Encyclopedia II - Corset - Corset comfort

In the past, a woman's corset was usually worn over a garment called a chemise or shift, a sleeveless low-necked gown made of washable material (usually cotton or linen). It absorbed perspiration and kept the corset and the gown clean. In modern times, an undershirt or corset liner may be worn. Moderate lacing is not incompatible with vigorous activity. Indeed, during the second half of the nineteenth century, when corset wearing was common, there were sport corsets specifically designed to wear while bicycling, playing tennis, or horseba ...

torso: Encyclopedia II - Corset - Modern history

The corset fell from fashion in the 1920s in Europe and America, replaced by girdles and elastic brassieres, but survived as an article of costume. Originally an item of lingerie, the corset has become a popular item of outerwear in the fetish, BDSM and goth subcultures. In the fetish and BDSM literature, there is often much emphasis on tightlacing. In this case, the corset may still be underwear rather than outerwear. Another angle is the wearing of a corset while having an enema; the theory is that the corset prevents the belly dist ...

torso: Encyclopedia II - Breast - Cultural status

Historically, breasts were regarded as fertility symbols, due to the belief that milk is life-giving. Ancient statues of goddesses—so-called Venus figurines—often emphasised the breasts, as in the example of the Venus of Willendorf. In historic times, goddesses such as Ishtar were shown with multiple breasts, alluding to their role as goddesses of childbirth. Breasts are considered as secondary sex characteristics, and are sexually sensitive in many cases. Bare female breasts can elicit heightened sexual desires from men and women ...

torso: Encyclopedia II - Ed Gein - Childhood

Ed Gein was born to George P. Gein (1873-1940) and Augusta T. Gein (1878-1945) on August 27, 1906, in La Crosse, Wisconsin. Edward had a brother, Henry G. Gein (1902-1944) who was born on January 7, 1902. George was a violent man who was frequently unemployed, usually spending his days brooding on the front porch and consuming liquor. Ed rejected his violent, aimless father, as did his older brother Henry and especially Augusta, who treated him like a nonentity. Despite her deep contempt for George, the atrophic marriage persisted. Divorce w ...

torso: Encyclopedia II - Ed Gein - Deaths of family members

By the time George died in 1940, Henry had begun to reject Augusta's view of the world. He had even taken to bad-mouthing her within earshot of his mortified brother. In March 1944, the brothers found themselves in the middle of a brush fire on the farm. When Ed ran to get the police, he told them he had lost sight of Henry, but then led them directly to his brother's corpse. Although there was evidence Henry had suffered blunt trauma to the head, police deci ...

torso: Encyclopedia II - Diving suit - Dive skins and jeans

Skins are used typically where the water temperature is over 25 °C (77 °F). They are made from Lycra and provide little thermal protection but simply protect the skin from stings and abrasion. Lycra became popular about 20 years ago, and is styled after women's nylon stockings. Australian lifeguards wore nylons to protect against jellyfish stings when on rescues. The down side of lycra is that it can shred when touc ...

torso: Encyclopedia II - Diving suit - Semi-dry suits

Semi-dry suits are used typically where the water temperature is between 10 and 20 °C (50 to 70 °F). They are effectively a thick wetsuit with better-than-usual seals at wrist, neck and ankles. The seals limit the volume of water entering and leaving the suit. The wearer gets wet in a semi-dry suit but the water that enters is soon warmed up and does not leave the suit readily, so the wearer remains warm. The trapped layer of water does not add to the suit's insulating ability. Any residual water circulation past the seals still cau ...

Drysuits are used typically where the water temperature is between 0 and 15 °C (32 to 60 °F). Seals at the wrists and neck prevent water entering the suit. Even so, the diver will be damp after a dive in a drysuit due to sweat and condensation. The seals are either made from latex rubber or neoprene. Latex seals survive for a maximum of two years but are supple. Neoprene seals last longer but let more water enter because, being stiffer, they do not make effective seal ...

torso: Encyclopedia II - Corset - Waist reduction

By wearing a tightly-laced corset for extended periods, known as tightlacing, men and women can learn to tolerate extreme waist constriction and reduce their natural waist size. Tightlacers usually aim for 40 to 43 centimeter (16 to 17 inch) waists. Until 1998, the Guinness Book of World Records listed Ethel Granger as having the smallest waist on record at 13". After 1998, the category changed to "smallest waist on a living person" and Cathie Jung took the title with a 15" waist. Other women, such as Polaire and ...
