13 (number)
13 (thirteen) is the natural number following 12 and preceding 14. Strikingly folkloric aspects of the number 13 have been noted in various cultures around the world: one theory is that this is due to the cultures employing lunar-solar calendars (there are approximately 12.41 lunations per solar year, and hence 12 "true months" plus a smaller, and often portentous, thirteenth month). This can be witnessed, for example, in the "Twelve Days of Christmas" of Western European tradition. In mathematics The number 13 is the sixth prime number. It is a twin prime with 11, as well as a cousin prime with 17. It is the second Wilson prime, of three known (the others being 5 and 563), and the smallest emirp in decimal. 13 is: *The second star number: *The third centered square number: * A happy number and a lucky number. *A Fibonacci number, preceded by 5 and 8. *The smallest number whose fourth power can be written as a sum of two consecutive square numbers (1192 + 1202). *The s ...

Number 13 (1922 Film)
In 1922, Alfred Hitchcock obtained his first shot at directing for Gainsborough Pictures with the film ''Number 13'' (or ''Mrs. Peabody''). It is considered Hitchcock's first feature film. Clare Greet and Ernest Thesiger were to star as husband and wife. The story was about low-income residents of a building, financed by The Peabody Trust, founded by American banker-philanthropist George Foster Peabody, to offer affordable housing to needy Londoners. However, the film's budget fell apart, and it was pulled from production after only a handful of scenes were shot. Hitchcock rarely, if ever, spoke about his first directing project, until his biographer, Donald Spoto, asked him about life in the early twenties, and his first films. On one occasion, he said that it was a "somewhat chastening experience". As with Hitchcock's later lost film ''The Mountain Eagle'', footage from ''Number 13'' has become widely sought after by film historians and collectors without success. Productio ...

Number 13-class Battleship
The ''Number 13''-class battleship was a planned class of four fast battleships to be built for the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) during the 1920s. The ships never received any names, being known only as ''Numbers 13–16''. They were intended to reinforce Japan's "eight-eight fleet" of eight battleships and eight battlecruisers after the United States announced a major naval construction program in 1919. The ''Number 13'' class was designed to be superior to all other existing battleships, planned or building. After the signing of the Washington Naval Treaty in 1922, they were cancelled in November 1923 before construction could begin. Design and background By 1918, the Navy had gained approval for an "eight-six" fleet, all ships under eight years old. However, having four large battleships and four battlecruisers on order put an enormous financial strain on Japan, which was spending about a third of its national budget on the Navy. Despite this, the IJN gained approval of the " ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
