The program was created by Terry Winograd and is a limited domain Natural language natural language system that can understand typed commands and move blocks around on a surface.

The Blocks of Five were groups of US Presidential Electors elector s who electoral fraud sold their votes to the United States Republican Party for the United States presidential election, 1888 United States presidential election of 1888 . Background In the Gilded Age , prior to the adoption of the secret ballot in Federal elections, political parties printed ballots and distributed them to their voters, who then cast them at their polling stations. Republican campaigner William Wade Dudley sent a circular on October 24, 1888 to Indiana Republican officials, telling them to divide the floaters vote sellers into blocks of five and appoint a trusted leader who would be given the money to pay them for their fraud. The plan was exposed when a railroad official turned one up and it was subsequently publicized. The Republican candidate Benjamin Harrison was elected anyway. The publicity of the notoriously brazen fraud is credited with aiding states adoption of the secret ballot.

Blocks are formed from material from previous eruptions or from Country rock geology country rock and are therefore mostly accessory or accidental in origin. Blocks also occur due to the impact and breakage of volcanic bombs a bomb is a block with streamlined appearance, often expelled in a molten state . Bombs can also occur due to the disruption of the crust of a lava dome that has formed up or over a vent during an eruption. Features Blocks are nearly always angular to sub angular and roughly equidimensional. If the parent rock is flow foliated lava, sedimentary material or schistose metamorphic rocks, the blocks may have a plate like or slab like form. In other cases, blocks derived from great depths may resemble polished water worn pebbles and are cobbled due to fluidisation and upwards transport. Blocks can be enormous and may be transported great distances from the volcanic vent . The 1924 eruption of K lauea , Hawaii , expelled rocks weighing up to 14 tons and Mount Vesuvius in Italy discharged blocks weighing 2 3 tons over distances of 100 200m.

File LvMS Lvv.jpg thumb A sand grain of volcanic glass under the petrographic microscope . Its amorphous nature makes it go extinct in cross polarized light bottom frame . Scale box in millimeters. Volcanic glass is the amorphous uncrystallized product of rapidly cooling magma . Like all types of glass , it is a state of matter intermediate between the close packed, highly ordered array of a crystal and the highly disordered array of gas. ref Bates and Jackson, 1984, Dictionary of Geological Terms, 3rd ed., Prepared by the American Geological Institute ref Volcanic glass can refer to the interstitial, or matrix geology matrix material in an aphanitic fine grained volcanic rock or can refer to any of several types of vitreous igneous rock s. Most commonly, it refers to obsidian , a rhyolitic glass with high silica content. Other types of volcanic glass include Pumice , which is considered a glass because it has no crystal structure. Apache tears , a kind of nodular obsidian. Tachylite also spelled tachylyte , a basalt ic glass with relatively low silica content. Sideromelane , a less common form tachylyte. Palagonite , a basaltic glass with relatively low silica content. Hyaloclastite , a hydrated tuff like breccia of sideromelane and palagonite. Pele s hair , threads or fibers of volcanic glass, usually basaltic. Pele s tears , tear like drops of volcanic glass, usually basaltic. Limu o Pele Pele s seaweed , thin sheets and flakes of brownish green to near clear volcanic glass, usually basaltic.
