Word-sense induction
In computational linguistics, word-sense induction (WSI) or discrimination is an open problem of natural language processing, which concerns the automatic identification of the senses of a word (i.e. meanings). Given that the output of word-sense induction is a set of senses for the target word (sense inventory), this task is strictly related to that of word-sense disambiguation (WSD), which relies on a predefined sense inventory and aims to solve the ambiguity of words in context.
Approaches and methods[edit]
The output of a word-sense induction algorithm is a clustering of contexts in which the target word occurs or a clustering of words related to the target word. Three main methods have been proposed in the literature:[1][2]
- Context clustering
- Word clustering
- Co-occurrence graphs
Context clustering[edit]
The underlying hypothesis of this approach is that, words are semantically similar if they appear in similar documents, with in similar context windows, or in similar syntactic contexts.[3] Each occurrence of a target word in a corpus is represented as a context vector. These context vectors can be either first-order vectors, which directly represent the context at hand, or second-order vectors, i.e., the contexts of the target word are similar if their words tend to co-occur together. The vectors are then clustered into groups, each identifying a sense of the target word. A well-known approach to context clustering is the Context-group Discrimination algorithm [4] based on large matrix computation methods.
Word clustering[edit]
Word clustering is a different approach to the induction of word senses consists of clustering words, which are semantically similar and can thus bear a specific meaning. Lin's algorithm [5] is a prototypical example of word clustering, which is based on syntactic dependency statistics, which occur in a corpus to produce sets of words for each discovered sense of a target word.[6] The Clustering By Committee (CBC) [7] also uses syntactic contexts, but exploits a similarity matrix to encode the similarities between words and relies on the notion of committees to output different senses of the word of interest. These approaches are hard to obtain on a large scale for many domain and languages.
Co-occurrence graphs[edit]
The main hypothesis of co-occurrence graphs is assuming that the semantic of a word is represented by means of co-occurrence graph, whose vertices are co-occurrences and edges are co-occurrence relations. These approaches are related to word clustering methods, where co-occurrences between words can be obtained on the basis of grammatical [8] or collocational relations.[9] HyperLex is the successful approaches of a graph algorithm, based on the identification of hubs in co-occurrence graphs, which have to cope with the need to tune a large number of parameters.[10] To deal with this issue several graph-based algorithms have been proposed, which are based on simple graph patterns, namely Curvature Clustering, Squares, Triangles and Diamonds (SquaT++), and Balanced Maximum Spanning Tree Clustering (B-MST).[11] The patterns aim at identifying meanings using the local structural properties of the co-occurrence graph. A randomized algorithm which partitions the graph vertices by iteratively transferring the main stream message (i.e. word sense) to neighboring vertices[12] is Chinese Whispers. By applying co-occurrence graphs approaches have been shown to achieve the state-of-the-art performance in standard evaluation tasks.
- Word-sense induction has been shown to benefit Web Information Retrieval when highly ambiguous queries are employed.[9]
- Simple word-sense induction algorithms boost Web search result clustering considerably and improve the diversification of search results returned by search engines such as Yahoo![13]
- Word-sense induction has been applied to enrich the lexical resource such as WordNet.[14]
- SenseClusters is a freely available open source software package that performs both context clustering and word clustering.

the crank will last allmost forever if you choose a brand you can get spare parts for, i got a Tyger and if something breaks I just go to transocean and get it right away, big advantage!!
the Babolat I used to work on in a shop once broke and we have to ship it to france, it was sooooo expensive something like 10000 kr.. thats why my advice is...if you really want an electronic then go for something cheap like pro´s pro, you get your 2 years guaranti and if it breaks after that period then buy a new! but seriously I would buy a crank.
you can buy a good one at transocean for around 6000 kr (Tyger), but I heard good things about the pro´s pro cranks too, I just dont know if its as easy to get spare parts to as the Tyger is..
2 of my playing buddies are willing to invest 1.000 kroner each, and I get 12.000 kroner back in 'overskydende skat'/taxes, so I think I'm going to buy the electronic machine called
Tyger StringUltra 630
from Transocean Sport. They offer free training in using the animal
Anyone know anything about this machine called
Tyger StringUltra 630
- is it any good ?
I can get it for 10.000 kroner = circa $1.750 incl. VAT and taxes.
Would it be crazy to get that one - I intend to use for the next 10+ years.
I spend $400 = 2000 kr yearly on having my racquets strung, so in 5 years time, the machine has payed for itself.....
I spend 1-2 hours a month on bringing racquets to and from my stringer anyways.....
I expect to be able to string a racquet in 30 minutes time, once I get some experience of course.
Am I crazy

Raymond William Schalk (August 12, 1892 – May 19, 1970) was an American professional baseball player, coach, manager and scout.[1] He played as a catcher in Major League Baseball for the Chicago White Sox for the majority of his career.[1][2] Known for his fine handling of pitchers and outstanding defensive ability, Schalk was considered the greatest defensive catcher of his era.[3][4] He revolutionized the way the catching position was played by using his speed and agility to expand the previously accepted defensive capabilities for his position.[5] Schalk was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1955.[6]
Baseball career[edit]
Born in Harvel, Illinois to German immigrant parents, Schalk dropped out of high school to enter the printer's trade, learning to operate a linotype machine.[5] When career advancement proved difficult in that trade, he began to play professional baseball.[5] By the age of 18 in 1911, he split time between the D-league Taylorville Christians in the Illinois-Missouri League, where he hit .387, and the Single-A Milwaukee Brewers of the American Association.[5][7] In 1912, Schalk posted a .271 batting average in 80 games for Milwaukee and attracted the attention of the Chicago White Sox because of his aggressive approach to the catching position.[5] The White Sox purchased him from the Brewers for $10,000 and two other players.[8][9]
Schalk made his major league debut the day before his twentieth birthday on August 11, 1912.[1] He appeared in 23 games that season, batting .286, but it was his defense behind the plate that impressed the most.[1][5] White Sox coach Kid Gleason helped him hone his skills and, by the following year, Schalk had become the starting catcher in place of Billy Sullivan, and led the American League catchers in putouts.[5][10]
He soon developed a reputation as one of the best defensive catchers in major league baseball.[11] Before Schalk, most catchers were large and slow of foot.[11] Schalk was a small, agile man (he was only 5 ft 9 in tall)who caught with the energy and mobility of a fifth infielder.[5] Due to his small size and youthful appearance, he was often the butt of jokes from opposing players. One time, a policeman refused to let him into the locker room at Comiskey Park, mistaking Schalk for a boy.[12]
In 1914, he batted .270 in 136 games and once again led the league in putouts by a catcher.[1] Despite the White Sox's sixth-place finish, he ranked sixth in voting for the 1914 American League Most Valuable Player Award.[13] He continued to improve in 1915, batting .266 with a .366 on-base percentage, and led the American League catchers in fielding percentage, caught stealing percentage and putouts as the White Sox rose to third place.[1]
In 1916, Schalk stole a career-high 30 bases stolen bases (a record for a catcher until John Wathan broke it in 1982) and led the league in fielding percentage, putouts assists and range factor as the White Sox finished in second place, only two games behind the Boston Red Sox.[1][14] His pitch-calling skills were evident as he guided the White Sox pitching staff to the lowest earned run average in the league.[15]
He batted only .226 in 1917, but his on-base percentage was .331 and he led all American League catchers in putouts for a fifth consecutive year.[1] He once again guided the White Sox pitching staff to the lowest earned run average in the league as they won 100 games to win the American League pennant by 9 games over the Boston Red Sox[16] and went on to defeat John McGraw's New York Giants in the 1917 World Series, four games to two, for their last world championship until 2005.[17]
In 1918, he recorded his first putout at second base against the St. Louis Browns.[5] On a hit and run play, the Browns' Ray Demmitt ran past second base as Shoeless Joe Jackson made a catch in deep left field off the bat of Joe Gedeon.[5] Schalk, in the middle of the diamond, ran to second base to take the relay from White Sox shortstop Swede Risberg and tagged Demmitt out.[5] The White Sox fell to sixth place in the 1918 season, however, as Schalk batted only .219.[1]
They rebounded in 1919 to recapture the American League pennant, with Schalk hitting a career-high .282 and led the league in putouts for a seventh consecutive season.[1] The 1919 World Series, which the White Sox lost to the Cincinnati Reds, was shrouded in a controversy which became known as the Black Sox Scandal.[18] Several White Sox players were accused of intentionally throwing games[5] in contrast to Schalk, who played to win, hit for a Series .304 batting average and was later absolved from any wrongdoing.[19] He told investigators he knew something was wrong when pitchers Eddie Cicotte and Lefty Williams didn't throw the pitches he had called for.[5] The White Sox lost the series five games to three, and eight of their players were banned for life from major league baseball as complicit in the scandal but not Schalk.[5][20]
He had another good year in 1920, hitting .270 with a .362 on-base percentage and a career-high 61 runs batted in. He led the American League for an eighth consecutive year in putouts as the White Sox finished in second place.[1] The 1922 season was one of his finest. On April 30, 1922, he caught Charlie Robertson's perfect game against the Detroit Tigers, the last perfect game in the major leagues until Don Larsen's in the 1956 World Series.[21] Two months later, on June 27, he hit for the cycle.[5] He ended the season with a .281 average, hit 4 home runs and drove in 60 runs.[1] He led the league in putouts, and tied the American League record for fielding percentage for a catcher at .989. He finished third in voting for the 1922 American League's Most Valuable Player.[22]
By 1924, the wear and tear of catching began to catch up with him. He had played in 100 games or more in 11 consecutive seasons, but injured three fingers on his throwing hand which limited him to 57 games and a career-low .197 batting average in 1924.[23] He rebounded in 1925 1925 to play in 125 games, bat .274 with a career-high .382 on-base percentage, and lead the league in baserunners caught stealing.[1] In November 1926, he succeeded Eddie Collins as the White Sox player-manager at the age of 33.[24] His playing time diminished in 1927, as he appeared in only 16 games while concentrating on managing the team. Over the two seasons he played and managed, he won 102 and lost 125 for a .449 won-lost percentage.[25] He then had a salary disagreement with team owner Charles Comiskey, and left the White Sox to become a player-coach with the New York Giants in 1929 but appeared in only five games before retiring as a player at the age of 36.[1][5]
Career statistics and legacy[edit]
In an 18-year major league career, Schalk played in 1,762 games, accumulating 1,345 hits in 5,306 at bats for a .253 career batting average along with 11 home runs, 594 runs batted in, 579 runs, 177 stolen bases, an on-base percentage of .340 and a .981 fielding percentage.[1] He established himself as one of the American League's outstanding defensive catchers by leading AL catchers in fielding percentage eight times, putouts nine times, double plays four times and assists twice.[26] He set major league catching records for putouts, and still holds the major league career record for double plays (217) and the American League career mark for assists.[26][27] No catcher has approached Schalk's record for career double plays, and none has led the league in fielding percentage eight times.[28] He held the record for most no-hitters caught (four), until a rules change in the early 1990s disallowed one of them.[29] He caught 144 shutouts in his career, ranking third all-time among catchers behind Yogi Berra and Carlton Fisk.[30]
He set standards for longevity for catchers, catching 100 or more games for 11 straight seasons.[31] His major league record of 1,726 games caught stood until 1945 when it was broken by Rick Ferrell.[31] He also established himself as one of the finest baserunning catchers, setting a single-season stolen base record for the position in 1916 with 30, which stood until John Wathan stole 36 bases in 1982.[31] His record for 177 career stolen bases as a catcher still stands.[31]
Schalk helped revolutionize the way the catcher's position was played.[11] He is credited with being the first catcher to back up infield throws to first base and outfield throws to third base.[5] He claimed to be the only major league catcher to have made a putout at every base, and once made three assists in one inning.[5][32] He also became known for his handling of the White Sox pitching staff and his pitch-calling skills.[5] His reputation as a defensive standout is enhanced due to the era in which he played: in the deadball era, catchers played a much greater defensive role than subsequently, given the large number of bunts and stolen base attempts, as well as the difficulty of handling the spitball pitchers who dominated pitching staffs.[28][29] He had to catch every type of pitch imaginable, including shine balls, spitballs, knuckleballs and emory balls from pitchers such as, Ed Walsh, Eddie Cicotte, Dickie Kerr, Urban Faber and Ted Lyons.[28]
Schalk's career batting average of .253 is the lowest of any position player in the Hall of Fame.[31] That he was selected by the Veterans Committee for enshrinement in 1955 is largely a tribute to his outstanding defensive skills and to the fact that he played to win the infamous 1919 World Series for the White Sox.[31][33]
Post-playing career[edit]
Schalk became a coach for the Chicago Cubs in 1930 and 1931, and later managed the Buffalo Bisons in the Double-A International League from 1932 to 1937.[5][34] He also managed the Indianapolis Indians, the Oklahoma City Indians and the Milwaukee Brewers minor league teams.[34] In 1944, he became a scout for the Chicago Cubs.[3] He was assistant baseball coach at Purdue University for 18 years before retiring from baseball at 72.[5] In 1955, he was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame by the Veterans Committee.[35] He was invited to catch the first ball of the 1959 World Series, thrown out by fellow Hall of Fame member and former White Sox pitcher, Red Faber.[5]
A museum in Nokomis, Illinois, is dedicated to Schalk and two other Hall of Famers, Jim Bottomley and Red Ruffing. The Little League ball fields in Litchfield, Illinois, near his birthplace of Harvel, are named for him. He died of cancer on May 19, 1970 at the age of 78,[32] and is buried in Evergreen Cemetery in Evergreen Park, Illinois.

Location: Australia
Australia has been isolated from the rest of the world for over 200 million years and has developed unique biota, ecosystems and indigenous culture. Its settlement by people of European origin occurred relatively recently and in an unusual way. This course will focus on the development of a modern, industrial society in the context of Australia's distinctive geography, environment and recent human history. Australia's location, isolation and history make it an especially interesting place to examine effects of environment on the development and current challenges of both native and westernized cultures. The recent history and current culture of Australia are similar to the US in many ways, but the specifics of Australian society differ significantly. This combination of familiarity and cultural difference will allow students to both understand issues confronting modern society and to evaluate them objectively.

Owning a dog is a responsibility, and it's important to make sure you will be able to devote the time and effort needed to care for them. Regular walks are just the start - you'll also need to consider how much attention you can give them on a daily basis, how much food, vaccinations and other essentials will cost and whether your dog will fit into your family.
Children often promise they'll take full responsibility for looking after the dog of their dreams, and they might do - for a few weeks, at least. Ultimately the responsibility for looking after a dog lies with the adults, so if your children are the only ones who really want one, you should consider this carefully before bringing a dog into your home.
If all the family is out at work or school all day, owning a dog might not be such a good idea. Puppies in particular need companionship to be happy and should not be left alone for more than three or four hours at a time.
Don't forget to budget for your pet too - the cost isn't limited to dog food! Your pet will need vaccinations and regular check-ups at the vet, as well as treatment if they become ill, as well as equipment like collars or leads. If you don't plan to take your dog on family holidays, you'll need to think about whether you can pay for boarding fees or a pet-sitter.
Finally, consider whether your house and local area is dog-friendly - is your garden fenced in? Are there green spaces nearby where they can be taken for walks? If you live in a flat without a garden, you may need to walk your dog much more often than usual.
This advice isn't intended to put you off from getting a dog, but just to make the point that it's a responsibility that shouldn't be rushed into lightly. Dogs deserve a loving, caring home just as much as people do!

Steve Hofstetter
Hofstetter's national TV debut came on ESPN's Quite Frankly, where Stephen A. Smith yelled at him for three minutes. Hofstetter has also appeared on CBS' "Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson," Showtime's "White Boyz in the Hood," VH1's "Countdown," Sundance's "On the Road in America," and ABC's "Barbara Walter's Special," where he thankfully did not cry. Having appeared on networks from Boston to Miami to Denver, his local television appearances are too numerous to count, especially if you're using your fingers.
One of the top booked acts on the college circuit, the 29-year-old humorist also just released his third album and his third book. The book is titled "National Lampoon's Balls!" Thankfully, It's a sports book. Hofstetter has written humor columns for the New York Times, SportsIllustrated.com, and NHL.com, where he publicly admitted to being a Ranger fan.
After hosting Four Quotas on Sirius Satellite Radio for two seasons, Hofstetter moved to broadcast radio, and his Sports Minute (Or So) is currently syndicated on over 150 stations and in over 30 newspapers. Hofstetter's first live comedy album ("Cure For the Cable Guy") reached #20 on Billboard's comedy charts. His second album ("Dark Side of the Room") is the first ever pay-what-you-want" comedy album, since people were going to steal it anyway.
Hofstetter's brutal tour schedule consists of over 100 colleges and dozens of clubs every year, and is fueled by an immense online popularity, tons of press, and a Prius with great gas mileage. He reached 200,000 friends on Facebook and 400,000 more on MySpace, and high shelves in grocery stores.
Hofstetter was named one of Two Drink Minimum magazine's Best New Faces of 2004, which confuses him since he definitely had a face in 2003. And while Hofstetter's live shows are routinely sold out, he is best known for his writing, first published at age 15 (when he also had a face). At 18, he co-founded "Sports Jerk of the Week," an irreverent website featured by press like USA Today's Baseball Weekly, Sports Illustrated and CNN. And at 20, Hofstetter took a year off of school to head up web content for the New York Yankees. The Yankees won the World Series that year, which would have been wonderful if they hadn't beaten Hofstetter's Mets. He did not have a face that night.
While an undergraduate at Columbia University, Hofstetter was a well-read columnist for the Columbia Daily Spectator and a voice of the Lions. After a summer writing for Maxim, ESPN, and Sports Illustrated for Kids, Hofstetter turned his column into two books. The column gained popularity with syndication in several newspapers and websites, including collegehumor.com.

Dan Levy
After enrolling in Emerson College in Boston, Dan began performing at open mics and other strange venues—where people were more focused on their beer than what the wannabe comics were saying.
As a sophomore in college, Dan was chosen to compete at the HBO US Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen, CO, where he won the title of Funniest College Comedian.
Since then Dan has been seen at the Montreal Just For Laughs Comedy Festival numerous times and has made TV appearances on Comedy Central's "Premium Blend," "Chelsea Lately," "The Late Late Show," and "Comedy Central Presents: Dan Levy. He has also hosted four VERY short-lived shows on MTV including "Rock Band Battle," "Your Face or Mine," "The Reality Show," and "MTV Spring Break". You don't remember them? Either does he.
With this and the success of his 2008 College Humor series, "The I Have To Go In A Minute Show with Super Host Dan Levy," Dan's following has grown to sold out shows at clubs and colleges across the country. And he continues to work in the digital space as he's in development a deal with Comedy Central to produce a second series for their sister website Atom.com.
After selling the TV show "MY LDR" to MTV, which is based on a joke he performed in his stand up routine, which later because a popular web series for SONY's crackle.com, Dan began not only performing but writing too. Since last year he has developed a sitcom for FOX called "Party People", a movie for Disney called "Stoked the band" and is currently developing another TV series with SONY television. He is also the executive producer of E!'s reality series "Pretty Wild", but that is a very long story that he will have to explain to you in person.
Dan's next big screen appearance will be in the Sony Screen Gems coming-of-age comedy "Mardi Gras," in theaters this year. He was previously featured in the Happy Madison film "The House Bunny" (but then was cut out) and co-starred in "My Sexiest Year" with Frankie Muniz and Harvey Keitel.
Dan lives in Los Angeles where he is writing more television show and collecting sneakers and knives. He understands those are two very weird things to obsess about.

Rum "Crew" Brownies

If you want to ensure a crew spot on a boat (particularly a J/27 named Island Dog), just take these brownies aboard one time and youll soon become a regular.

3/4 Cup butter
1-1/2 Cups sugar
1/4 Cup rum
3 eggs
1/2 Cup cocoa powder (unsweetened)
3/4 Cup flour
1/2 Tsp baking powder
1/4 Tsp salt
1/2 Cup pecans or walnuts (optional)

Cream together butter and sugar. Add the rum and 3 eggs, one at a time.

In a separate bowl, combine together the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder and salt. Then add the dry mixture to the first mixture.

Stir just until all particles are moistened.

Pour into an 8-inch square greased pan and bake for 30 to 40 minutes at 350 degrees F. The center part of the mixture should be slightly under cookedwhen taken out of the oven, but it will cool a moist and fudgy consistency.

Jackie Fusco |
April 25, 2013
In the 10th edition of Meet The Friars, we're checking in with freshman Jackie Fusco. Jackie is from North Caldwell, New Jersey and attended West Essex Regional High School, prior to her arrival at Providence College.
Jackie played in 11 games as a rookie with the Friars and made two appearances in the starting line-up. She registered one defensive save.
Let's check in with Jackie Fusco!!
1. Why did you decide to come to Providence College?
I decided to look at Providence College mostly because of my family. I have so many Aunts and Uncles who graduated from here, and knowing me, they always thought it would be a great school for me. My first time on campus was actually when I was 10 months old at my Aunt's graduation! I then visited when I was a sophomore in high school on a college trip with my older brother. I immediately fell in love with the campus and the people. During my junior year I visited, again, and met with Coach Madl, Coach Wasser, the field hockey team and everyone in the athletic department. Everyone was so nice and welcoming - it felt like home. As we were leaving I told my parents that they could leave me here right now, that is how much I loved it!
2. If you could be doing anything right now, what would it be, and why?
If I could do anything right now, I would be laying on the beach in Turks and Caicos. I love the beach, especially during summer time. Being outside and relaxing in the sun is one of my favorite things to do! I've been to Turks and Caicos three times and it is one of my favorite places in the world!
3. What would you do if you were given a million dollars?
I would donate some of this money to the Autism Project in Rhode Island because it is a really special charity to close friends of my family. Next, I would buy a beach house in Montauk, Long Island for my parents, because we've been vacationing there since I was born, and it's always been their dream to have a home on the beach. If I have any money left over I would go on a shopping spree in New York City!!
4. What are three adjectives that best describe your life, and why?
Happy... because I am where I always dreamed to be. Playing a Division I sport at my dream school with a great group of girls who have become family to me makes me so happy. Blessed... because I come from a big loving family, who I know will always be there for me. Challenging... because I am always working hard to get better. I am constantly trying to better myself in the classroom, on the field and just to be the best person I can be.

Boro reject Downing request
06 Jan 2009 - 07:22:46
Middlesbrough have signalled their intent to keep Stewart Downing after rejecting the England winger's transfer request.
Downing, 24, submitted a written request on Monday amid increasing talk of a move to Tottenham Hotspur.
The Middlesbrough-born wideman only signed a new five-year contract 11 months ago, but his father revealed he has become increasingly frustrated with a lack of investment in the squad this season.
Boro are currently 17th in the Premier League table and only clear of the drop zone on goal difference.
Spurs have seen one "derisory" bid rejected by the Teessiders and chief executive Keith Lamb has revealed a second offer has also been rejected.
He also claims that Downing's transfer request has been turned down and warned any potential suitors that the club intend to fight to keep him at the Riverside Stadium.
"We received a written transfer request from Stewart this morning. It was considered before being rejected," said Lamb.
"Prior to receiving the transfer request, we received an improved offer for Stewart from Tottenham.
"We immediately rejected this offer and informed Tottenham that Stewart Downing is not for sale and any further interest they have in the player will not be entertained."

It was replaced by a larger "six rank" organ two years later, which was expanded to "10 ranks" by German firm Strunk in 1940.Hide Caption 2 of 11Opulent art deco cinema's fabulous Wurlitzer 11 photosFull orchestra – The Wurlitzer features an incredible array of orchestral sounds and effects such as bird whistles, horse hooves and police sirens. It has a full percussion section with timpani, snare drums, glockenspiels and tubular bells.Hide Caption 3 of 11Opulent art deco cinema's fabulous Wurlitzer 11 photosWood and wire, not microchips – The organ's restorers have taken care to replicate the original circuitry. "In 100 years someone will easily be able to fix this," says enthusiast Dick Cuiper. "They won't be able to find the microchips they need to mend the computers."Hide Caption 4 of 11Opulent art deco cinema's fabulous Wurlitzer 11 photosThe organ's innards – High-pressure air wheezes through the organ's innards as pipes vibrate to create its incredible array of sounds.Hide Caption 5 of 11Opulent art deco cinema's fabulous Wurlitzer 11 photosStage of memories – Today the Tuschinski Theater hosts Amsterdam's main film premieres. In the past, stars such as Marlene Dietrich, Judy Garland and Dizzy Gillespie have graced its stage.Hide Caption 6 of 11Opulent art deco cinema's fabulous Wurlitzer 11 photosInsect-inspired decor – Abraham Icek Tuschinski, the theater's original creator, was reputedly obsessed with insects. Many of the building's fixtures are said to have been inspired by invertebrates, including this spider-like ceiling design.Hide Caption 7 of 11Opulent art deco cinema's fabulous Wurlitzer 11 photosArt deco masterpiece – The theater was restored to its former glory in an expensive refurbishment in the 1980s. Lamps on the underside of the balconies seem to resemble caterpillars. Hide Caption 8 of 11Opulent art deco cinema's fabulous Wurlitzer 11 photosOrgan enthusiasts – Pieter Kroon (left), Dick Cuiper (top) and Peter Schipper (seated) helped bring the Wurlitzler back to life. "When we first took her apart, she was in a very bad condition," says Cuiper.Hide Caption 9 of 11Opulent art deco cinema's fabulous Wurlitzer 11 photosOpulent displays – The eye-dazzling ceiling of the Tuschinski's art deco lobby is one of many opulent features in the cinema.Hide Caption 10 of 11Opulent art deco cinema's fabulous Wurlitzer 11 photosTuschinski's lavish legacy – A Jewish immigrant originally from Poland, Tuschinski was killed by the Nazis in World War II and his cinema renamed the Tivoli. After the war, it reverted to its original name and his grand vision lived on.Hide Caption 11 of 11Story highlightsWurlitzer organ at the Tuschinksi Theater in Amsterdam dates to the theater's opening in the 1920sA team of enthusiasts helps keep the organ in its its musical prime using odds and ends to replace parts no longer availableThe organ still attracts fans, playing to visitors on guided tours of the cinema This piece, and several others on Amsterdam, complement the CNNGo TV series. This month's show features an Olympian's tour of the city's markets and park and visits an unusual photography exhibition. It then explores the world of Amsterdam street food and takes in the city's best picture spots with an Instagram pro. More on Amsterdam plus the full show can be found here: www.cnn.com/cnngo (CNN)Peter Schipper presses a key on the enormous Wurlitzer organ console in front of him and a police siren wails across the cinema stage. A second key brings the sound of tweeting birds, and another the clopping sound of horse hooves, as if someone is standing off-stage with a pair of coconut shells.Then he flexes his fingers, leans in to the array of keyboards and launches into a cheery rendition of "I'm Getting Sentimental Over You."The organ's pipes throb, sing and trill with the power of a full orchestra. Were if not for for the fact Schipper is wearing jeans and a plaid shirt, we could be transported back to the early 1940s, when the Wurlitzer-Strunk organ was in its heyday at the Tuschinski Theater -- an immaculately preserved art deco cinema in the heart of Amsterdam.The Tuschinski was an opulent masterpiece when it opened in the 1920s -- its owner, Abraham Icek Tuschinski, took pains to equip it with the best organ his money could buy. A Jewish immigrant originally from Poland, Tuschinski was killed along with his family in a Nazi concentration camp during the Second World War and his cinema renamed the Tivoli.After the war it reverted to its original name and in the 1980s benefited from an expensive restoration project that returned much of its original grandeur.

The Pathe Tuschinski Cinema regularly rolls out the red carpet for movie stars as the location for most major premieres in the Netherlands. Spider-man: Insect-inspired ceiling detail.The lushly decorated lobby and grand hall -- with elaborate fixtures and decorations said to be inspired by Tuschinski's fascination with insects -- are impressive enough, but the cinema's star attraction is its Wurlitzer organ.It's still capable of producing rich sounds, largely thanks to the efforts of a team of volunteers from the Dutch Organ Federation, who use mechanical ingenuity to keep the instrument going."When we first took her apart, she was in a very bad condition," said Dick Cuiper, a 55-year-old computer programmer who worked on a project to restore the organ with Schipper, a 67-year-old piano tuner, bookkeeper Pieter Kroon, 76, and other volunteers and technicians."It's taken us many, many years to fix her up and get her working properly again. We're not professionals, but we've learned by doing it every day."As Schipper continues playing, Cuiper and Kroon take great pride in crossing the main stage (once graced by visiting stars Marlene Dietrich and Judy Garland) and leading the way down to a series of cramped rooms where the organ's innards vibrate to its mighty sounds.A mechanical wooden bellows wheezes to fill the musical pipes with rushing air. Automated percussion instruments boom and clash. MORE: Extraordinary new play brings Anne Frank's secret world to life Old boots springs and air tubesThe organ is in immaculate order but, says Kroon, some of the machinery has been cobbled together from odds and ends."You cannot go to any store to buy the things the organ needs, they're not made any more," he says. "Instead, we have to produce them ourselves out of old boots, springs and air tubes."Cuiper points to a series of glass-windowed wooden cabinets that house the organ's main circuitry. It would've been simpler to tear them out and replace them with a modern computer processor, he explains, but the team preferred to recreate the original electrics.Music men: Schipper, Kroon and Cuiper."It was a challenge for us," he says. "But in 100 years someone will easily be able to fix this, and they won't be able to find the microchips they need to mend the computers."MORE: CNNGo in Amsterdam: Windmill beer, tulip vases and picnics in the park Wanted: Young helpersThe volunteers still spend hours every week maintaining the organ, but time is limited because the cinema hosts a full program of movie screenings. They face another problem.Although the enthusiasm of Kroon and Schipper is as strong as ever, their advancing age means they need to find and train a new generation volunteers to keep the organ sounding its best.The Wurlitzer still pulls in admirers. Schipper gives regular performances to parties of schoolchildren and groups on the twice-daily guided tours of the Tuschinski, as well as special cinema events including screenings of the silent films it was originally installed to accompany.The organ and theater also occasionally attract members of a dwindling group of Wurlitzer maestros -- including Americans R. Jelani Eddington and Lyn Larsen and Britain's Len Rawle."There's always applause. It's a great privilege for all of us to play," says Kroon."She's an old lady. You have to be careful with her, but you also have to play her because if you don't, she will start to fail."Pathe Tuschinski Cinema (website in Dutch), Reguliersbreestraat 26-34; +31 900 1458; tours daily at 9:30 a.m. and 11:00 a.m.; €10 per personMore from TravelThe coolest small towns in America are ...TSA finds dog in checked luggageChef Massimo Bottura: The alchemist who reinvented Italian cuisinePowered by Livefyre
