The Thirteenth Floor


The Thirteenth Floor is a 1999 neo-noir science fiction crime thriller film written and directed by Josef Rusnak, and produced by Roland Emmerich. It is loosely based upon "Simulacron-3" (1964), a novel by Daniel F. Galouye, and a remake of the German film "World on a Wire" (1973). The film stars Craig Bierko, Gretchen Mol, Armin Mueller-Stahl, Vincent D'Onofrio, and Dennis Haysbert. In 2000, "The Thirteenth Floor" was nominated for the Saturn Award for Best

Reasons for omitting a thirteenth floor include triskaidekaphobia on the part of the building's owner or builder, or a desire by the building owner or landlord to prevent problems that may arise with superstitious tenants, occupants, or customers. In 2002, based on an internal review of records, Dilip Rangnekar of Otis Elevators estimated that 85% of the buildings with Otis brand elevators did not have a floor named the 13th floor.

The thirteenth floor is a designation of a level of a multi-level building that is often omitted in countries where the number is considered unlucky. Omitting the 13th floor may take a variety of forms; the most common include denoting what would otherwise be considered the thirteenth floor as level 14, giving the thirteenth floor an alternate designation such as "12A" or "M" (the thirteenth letter of the Latin alphabet), or closing the 13th floor to public occupancy or access (e.g., by designating it as a

... The floor labeled "14" on the elevator is the thirteenth floor and the number 13 is skipped on the elevator console. Sometimes to keep numbers consistent the 13th floor is simply renumbered as "12A" or "12B", as in: "12", "12A", "14".., or "12", "12B", "14"; this does not affect the numbers of the higher floors.

The Thirteenth Floor was a story originally published in the British horror comic "Scream!" from March 24, 1984, and also in "Eagle" when "Scream!" was absorbed into it. It was written by "Ian Holland", a combined pseudonym of Alan Grant and John Wagner, and drawn by José Ortiz. Originally, "The Thirteenth Floor" had a horror theme, like other "Scream!" strips. It was set in a tower block called Maxwell Tower, controlled by an experimental sentient

A small number of buildings also follow the American tradition of omitting the thirteenth floor, with the fifteenth floor immediately following the twelfth.. Another variant found in Vietnam is naming floors 13 and 14 as floors "12A" and "12B" respectively.

developers not to exceed the height of the 13th floor. These critics insisted that buildings rising above the 13th floor () would lead to increased street congestion, ominous shadows and lower property values. Nevertheless, in a work published in 1939, sociologist Otto Neurath compared the use of money in an economy, which he saw as unnecessary, to the superstition of not installing the thirteenth floor: merely a social convention. Most commonly, 13 is skipped, as in: "12", "14", "15"

Whilst he could produce any range of idyllic, surreal or mundane environments, Max seemed to have a personal taste for the horrific. In this sense "The Thirteenth Floor" seemed to be inspired by the Eagle strip "The House of Daemon". The 13th floor originally appeared to

Signal Transfer Point


A Signal Transfer Point (STP) is a router that relays SS7 messages between "signaling end-points" (SEPs) and other signaling transfer points (STPs). Typical SEPs include "service switching points" (SSPs) and "service control points" (SCPs). The STP is connected to adjacent SEPs and STPs via signaling links. Based on the address fields of the SS7 messages, the STP routes the messages to the appropriate outgoing signaling link. Edge STPs can also route based upon message body content using

In Christianity, the number 13 is often seen as unlucky or even evil, due to Judas being called the 13th of Jesus’s 12 disciples, the one that betrays Jesus. This practice became commonplace, and eventually found its way into American mainstream culture and building design.

Somatosensory evoked potential


Somatosensory evoked potential (SEP or SSEP) is the electrical activity of the brain that results from the stimulation of touch. SEP tests measure that activity and are a useful, noninvasive means of assessing somatosensory system functioning. By combining SEP recordings at different levels of the somatosensory pathways, it is possible to assess the transmission of the afferent volley from the periphery up to the cortex. SEP components include a series of positive and negative deflections that can be elicited by virtually any sensory stimuli. For example, SEPs can be obtained in

SEP contributions and earnings are held in SEP-IRAs and can be withdrawn at any time, subject to the general limitations imposed on Traditional IRA. A withdrawal is taxable in the year received. If a participant makes a withdrawal before age 59½, generally a 10% additional tax applies. SEP contributions and earnings may be rolled over tax-free to other Individual retirement account and retirement plans.
