Mezuzah
A mezuzah is a box with a scroll in it. Jews put on mezuzahs their doors. The mezuzah is written by a Jewish scribe called a Sofer.
Most people put their mezuzah on the front doorpost, but halakha requires that every room with 36 square feet (but not bathrooms) should have a mezuzah on the right side of the doorpost.
There are 4 different types of writing styles for Mezuzahs: Beis Yosef, Arizal, Sephardi and Alter Rebbe.
In the United States, prices for Mezuzahs range from US$50 for a cheap mezuzah, $85 for a medium quality, and $130-150 for a high-quality mezuzah.
The idea for mezuzah comes from Deuteronomy, chapter 6: "And you shall inscribe them on the doorposts (mezuzot) of your house and on your gates."

Khmer Empire
The Khmer Empire or Angkor Empire (Khmer: ចក្រភពអង្គរ, "Chăkrâphôp Ângkô" are the terms that historians use to refer to Cambodia from the 9th century to the 15th century when the nation was a Hindu/Buddhist empire in Southeast Asia. The empire referred to itself as Kambuja or Kambujadeśa which are ancient terms for Cambodia. The empire grew out of the former civilizations of Funan and Chenla, and at times ruled over and/or vassalized most of mainland Southeast Asia and parts of Southern China, its control stretching from the tip of the Indochinese Peninsula northward to modern Yunnan province, China, and from Vietnam westward to Myanmar.
A notable achievement is the site of Angkor, which is located in present-day Cambodia, the Khmer capital when the empire was the greatest. The majestic monuments of Angkor, such as Angkor Wat and Bayon, show the Khmer Empire's immense power, wealth, art, culture, architectural technique, aesthetics achievements, and the variety of belief systems that the Khmer Empire had over time. Satellite imaging has revealed that Angkor was the largest pre-industrial urban center in the world during the Khmer Empire's peak in the 11th to 13th centuries.
The beginning of the era of the Khmer Empire is conventionally dated to 802 when King Jayavarman II declared himself "chakravartin" ("universal ruler", title equivalent to "emperor") on Phnom Kulen. The empire ended with the fall of Angkor in the 15th century.
Shin Yasuda
Shin Yasuda (安田伸, "Yasuda Shin", September 19, 1932 - November 5, 1996) is a Japanese saxophonist, comedian, actor, and composer. His real name is Hidemine Yasuda (安田 秀峰, "Yasuda Hidemine"). His nickname is Ya-san (ヤッさん), Mister Ya in English.
Yasuda grew up in the () in 1932. His father was from the Saga Prefecture and a right wing activist, but he soon started the fur and leather business. He moved to Kawasaki shortly after Yasuda was born and was evacuated when he was in the sixth grade from the . Yasuda then moved to (also known as Kakio, Kawasaki City), where his mother's parents' home lived, and failed his grades when he was in the first year of the old . Aspiring to become a soldier, Yasuda applied to the , but due to his fail grades, he changed his career to the path of music and learned to used the cornet by himself.
While attending the new year at the Atsugi High School, Yasuda founded the brass band club, was in charge of the alto saxophone, and served as the principal. During his first year of high school, he was planning on attending for the University of Tokyo or the Hitotsubashi University, but when Yasuda was in the third year of high school, he became interested in music and in 1951, he went to the Department of Instruments at the . However, Yasuda was not used to the feudal nature of the classical music world, and due to financial difficulties to keep paying a large monthly fee, he started a part-time job as a jazzman at an expeditionary force club.
Finally, when the Instrumentation Department was established at Tokyo University of the Arts, it was moved there and completed in 1953. Since then, Yasuda has been active as a jazzman in Yokohama, Yokosuka, and . Yasuda latter meet both Êtarô Ishibashi and during the his trip in Yokohama. In 1953, he formed the his own jazz band "The Four Devers" with Masahiro Ishida (saxophone), Yukio Tanizaki (bass) and Tetsuo Hino (drums) and performed in both Tokyo and Nagoya. At this time, Yasuda performed with Ishibashi's band. Later, after working in "The Five" where Ishibashi is the leader, Yasuda first apperence was in the Nagoya club "Fernando" as a member of "Happy Furinance". (Emi Itō & Yumi Itō) also appeared in this club. From this time on, his name often appeared in the "Swing Journal" advertisement. In the fall of 1957, he joined with the performance of Êtarô Ishibashi.
Yasuda was in charge of the tenor saxophone (occasionally a clarinet) as a successor to Masahiro Ishida, who was suffering from drug overdose and retired to see a psychiatrist. With a serious personality, he was the only member to appear in "Adult Manga" 1,835 times. Also, in "Shabontama Holiday", he was known for his role as "Deputy Director of the Kintoto Movie Studio", a contender who teamed up with Osami Nabe, and kept yelling "Yasuda!" In the end. He also plays the role of reversing his position. Also, the method of playing the saxophone while making the bridge is also famous, and it is shown on stage and in some Crazy Movies.
Due to his serious personality, Yasuda was concerned about his lack of talent, and one of the people involved (including songwriter ) even said, "Shin Yasuda is a crazy baggage." He was seriously thought about retiring once, but a friend said, "You're like the University of Tokyo at six baseball colleges." It's luggage that Yasuda just lost, but he hope to do something someday, so it's interesting for all six universities."
He also an actor and appeared in many movies and television programs. However, since Yasuda participated in Crazy Cats band as a music expert, he did not intend to act as an actor originally, but when he appeared on a stage play, "" and "The Fun", he realized that he started to study on a large scale. Yasuda is also as a songwriter, and he composed many songs like "Weekly Crazy" theme song, drama theme songs, drama and company songs, group songs, and gymnastics accompaniment. Later, he formed the band "Coelacanth" with Kenichiro Morioka and Hiroshi Minami, and released songs like "If Tanuki Was In The World". He also co-starred with Kei Tani's band called "The Supermarket."
In his personal life, he married beauty researcher Miyoko Takekoshi in 1966. Known to his loving wife, a joke called "Miyoko" was born. However, he was not blessed with a childhood treasure, and in his later years, Yasuda himself was forced to fight his liver cancer and underwent surgery, but managed to keep up with it to the end.

A boot loader is a program on your computer. It starts other programs, namely operating systems. Boot loaders run booting instructions so your operating system works and appears. This makes using your computer much easier than it would be otherwise.
Boot loaders work on all, or almost all, systems, from MBR (Master Boot Record) to UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface). If a boot loader does not work on your system, you may need to install a different one, use a different configuration, or fix the one it came with.
One of the most common boot loaders is the Windows Boot Manager, also known as bcdboot. It is the only official boot loader for Windows. It also comes preinstalled. Most of the time, there is no real reason to alter it. If you do alter it without full understanding, it is very hard to fix.
A common boot loader on Linux is the GRand Unified Bootloader Two, commonly known as GRUB2 or just GRUB. Other boot loaders include systemd-boot, syslinux, and LILO.

Affine symmetric group
Flat, straight-edged shapes (like triangles) or 3D ones (like pyramids) have only a finite number of symmetries. In contrast, the affine symmetric group is a way to mathematically describe all the symmetries possible when an infinitely large flat surface is covered by triangular tiles. As with many subjects in mathematics, it can also be thought of in a number ways: for example, it also describes the symmetries of the infinitely long number line, or the possible arrangements of all integers (..., −2, −1, 0, 1, 2, ...) with certain repetitive patterns. As a result, studying the affine symmetric group extends the study of symmetries of polyhedra or of groups of permutations to the infinite case. It also connects several topics in mathematics that were originally studied for independent reasons, ranging from complex reflection groups to juggling sequences.
LZ77 and LZ78 are two different types of lossless data compression algorithms. They were both published in papers by Abraham Lempel and Jacob Ziv in 1977 and 1978. Both of these types of algorithm, LZ77 and LZ78, are mainly designed to compress data without destroying the contents of the data when decompressed. Like all data compression algorithms, LZ77 and LZ78 both use a process called "data compression", or just "compression". Additionally, LZ77 and LZ78 both have their own processes for decompression (a type of process which reverses compression).
LZW is an improved version of LZ78.
LZ78 is an algorithm that has two variants of itself, LZ78 compression and LZ78 decompression.
In LZ78 compression, this algorithm does compression by replacing repeated occurrences of data with references to a dictionary. The dictionary used for this algorithm is built based on the input data stream. The dictionary stores tuples that represent a set of characters that were part of the input data stream. Each index of a dictionary contains a tuple and its respective character. A tuple stored in an index of the dictionary contains a certain index of the dictionary and a character. Each dictionary item with its respective tuple will be represented as codice_1. Within this type of tuple, the index refers to a point in the dictionary where there is an occurrence of a duplicated part of the dictionary.
If the algorithm finds a unique character not yet found in the dictionary, then a new dictionary entry is added and the index for that new dictionary entry is set to 0. Otherwise, if there is already a dictionary entry, the algorithm just lists a new dictionary entry with an index equal to an existing dictionary entry's index and the character becomes whatever the following character is. Afterwards, a value representing each recorded tuple is stored into a file. The entire process continues until all characters in the input data stream are read.
Suppose the string in the input data stream is "abbaaaabbbbccabcbaaa".
Whenever doing LZ78 compression, the dictionary always starts out empty. Any new entries will start at the first index. The "empty" index is actually the 0th index.
Again, a dictionary contains a set of indexes. Its indexes each contain a tuple that represents a certain value. After LZ78 compression is done, the dictionary should end up like this:
After each time a certain section of the input data stream has been read, a representation of the currently recorded tuple will be stored into the file. The information stored into the file should end up looking like this:
In LZ78 decompression, the process is reversed. Instead of taking a string of many characters, LZ78 decompression scans a file containing a series of stored values. These stored values represent tuples that were featured in LZ78 compression. Like LZ78 compression, LZ78 decompression uses a dictionary to record values. In LZ78 decompression, it will take information that was stored in a file and then record these values into a dictionary. Once all values are added into the dictionary, the program will refer to the dictionary. From there, the program will convert each line of the file into a certain value. That value is determined from converting each line of the file into a tuple. This tuple is stored into the dictionary and will contain a dictionary index and a letter, just as it does in LZ78 compression.

Kōga Gengo
Kōga Gengo (甲賀源吾, "Gengo Kōga", February 16, 1839 - May 6, 1869) is a Japanese samurai from the Kakegawa Domain and a Bakushin, mean that a samurai who serves under direct rule lord of the Shogun. He was a boarding captain during the Boshin War and commanded the paddle corvette "Kaiten" where he is killed during the Battle of Miyako Bay.
Born on February 16, 1839 in the Kakegawa Domain, he is the fourth child of Hidetaka Koga, leader of the Kakegawa Clan in Totomi. In 1855, Gengo traveled to Edo and studied Rangaku with daimyo of the Sakura Domain, Guntaro Kimura. He returned to his province two years later in 1857, but in 1858, Gengo was aspired to study navigation and went back to Edo under the guidance of Kō Yatabori, who was the professor at the Gunkan Office in Tsukiji. Since 1855, the 2nd Dutch Navy Training Mission, led by Willem Huyssen van Kattendijke, came to the Nagasaki to set up a naval training center.
Gengo's older brother, Gunnosuke Gengo, along with Katsu Kaishu and Yadabori, was the only Kakegawa feudal lord to receive the first Nagasaki Dutch Navy training. However, by the time of the second period, even though he had not accepted any new people other than the Bakushin, the fact that Gengo went to Nagasaki meant that he had an informal tour of the training as a subordinate of Yadabori.
Then, Gengo studied advanced mathematics in Dutch with two of his mentors Yadabori and Arai Ikunosuke , and published a book about naval tactics. He also learned both English and French. In 1859, he became a vassal of the Shogunate and was appointed as a warship training assistant. The following year, Gengo also served as a guardsman in Yokohama. In 1861, Gengo became professor of naval training.
He was latter appointed as member of the warship club and surveyed the Edo Bay. The following year, the Shogunate Ogasawara Islands Inspection Team (幕府小笠原諸島視察団, "Bakufu Ogasawarashotō shisatsu-dan"), led by Mizuno Tadanori, boarded the Kanrin Maru to preserve the area as Japanese territory. Gengo commanded the sailing ship "Senshū Maru" to surveyed the area. He boarded the ship with Arai Ikunosuke as a surveyor of the sailing ship. It was difficult to cross the Pacific Ocean in winter with an old sailing ship, and the Senshū Maru was washed away and had a hard time. Although it is very short, there is a memorandum of Gengo at that time. In 1863, Gengo was ordered to survey the Osaka Bay by engaging in two round-trip voyages between Edo and Osaka to escort the young shogun, Tokugawa Iemochi. In May of that year, he was summoned to the warship group, and it became more prestigious.
In July 1863, during the Shimonoseki campaign, which began with the bombardment of the Chōshū Domain by Western forces (British Empire, United States, France and The Netherlands), Gengo headed for Shimonoseki with the messengers dispatched from the Shogunate to the Choshu while serving as the captain of the "Chōyō Maru". According to a letter to his family, the messenger's mission was to dismiss the Choshu samurais because they occupied the Ogura Clan's territory, and the messenger headed for the Ogura clan territory succeeded this. The messenger who landed in Shimonoseki was killed by foreign soldiers. Gengo was forced by the Choshu Clan to borrowed his ship for the campaign, but he refused. In 1864, he was guarded according to the general's return to the sea route. In the First Chōshū expedition, he set sailed to Aki and Buzen. He became the captain of the "Kishō Maru" and sailed to Osaka in 1866.
In 1867, Gengo was assigned to a fleet of small ten-person warships. That same year, the of the Royal Navy arrived at the warship training center, and as the training began on November 5, he became the head of the warship training center and also served as a student councilor on November 26. The Boshin War began when Imperial forces clashed with the Bakufu troops at Toba-Fushimi.
Gengo was promoted to as head of the Shogun naval fleet, but the Boshin War had already begun. After the surrender of Edo Castle, Katsu Kaishu had promised to hand over the warship to the Imperial government, but the Admiral of the Bakufu Navy Enomoto Takeaki refused to surrender, and the last remaining shogunate forces retreated including Arai Ikunosuke and Gengo. As a result of the negotiations, four warships, the "Kaiyo Maru", the "Kaiten Maru", the "Banryu Maru", and the "Chiyodagata Maru", was organized, but they were dissatisfied with the various measures taken by the new government. Enomoto decided to lead the fleet and escape after seeing the relocation of Muneya to Sunpu.
On August 19, the Shogunate fleet, whose flagship was the "Kaiyo Maru", carrying former Bakufu soldiers onboard the transport ship and departed off the coast of Shinagawa. At this time, Gengo was made captain of the "Kaiten Maru". The "Kaiten Maru" was towing the slow-moving ""Kaiyo Maru"", but was forced to cut the towline due to a typhoon off the Bōsō Peninsula. Due to the storm, the front and center masts were folded, leaving only the rear mast, but they arrived safely at Matsushima Bay of the formerly Sendai Domain, which was the creation of the Ōuetsu Reppan Dōmei. After that, the "Kaiten Maru" went north alone, and while the ship scouted the Kesen Port, they found "Kaiten" and captured it.
A sailing ship owned by the former Shogunate that Koga boarded when he headed for the Ogasawara Islands, but was rented to the Sendai Domain. It was decided to be returned to the Tokugawa family, but it is said that the crew had taken it and engaged in piracy.
In September, the allies of the feudal clan surrendered one after another. The Shogun fleet carrying former Shogunate troops and other army units who still wanted to fight, headed for Hokkaido. Gengo was also among them the group as the captain of "Kaiten Maru".
The fleet arrived at Washinoki in the north of Hakodate on October 20, and the Battle of Hakodate began. The next day, the ship visited the Hakodate Port with thir consort ship "Banryu Maru", and on the 25th, troops and sailors of the Bakufu Army landed on the island and occupied each cities from Imperial Japanese troops. On the 27th, the Akita clan warship "Kaohsiung Maru", which did not know about it, arrived at the port, so Gengo had his fellow officers of both "Kaiten Maru" and "Banryu Maru," lead a group of sailors and captured the Imperial ships, including the ironclad "". In a battle with soldiers of the Matsumae clan (who had sworn their allegiance to the new government), Gengo supported the Bakufu Army, and when the "Kaiyo Maru" sailed around in Esashi, he went to rescue them, but he couldn't save it at last. After many ships where destroyed by the modernized navy, "Kaiten Maru" became the last flagship of the Shogunate Navy.
In March 1869, after hearing reports of incoming Japanese forces plans to captured Hokkaido, Gengo leads a group of sailors (including Arai Ikunosuke and Hijikata Toshizō) and French Army advisors (including Jules Brunet, Arthur Fortant, François Bouffier, Jean Marlin, and Pierre Garde). Gengo seems to have been the center of the operation because of the belief that "Let's attack aggressively rather than waiting for the enemy". The flagship "Kaiten Maru", commanded by Captain Gengo, arrived at Miyako Bay along with the "Banryu Maru" and "Kaohsiung Maru", but due to bad weather, the "Banryu Maru" strayed and the "Kaohsiung Maru" broke down. Only "Kaiten Maru" will enter the Battle of Miyako Bay. It had said that Gengo said in his final word before the attack, "Even my ship is enough to defeat the enemy."
Gengo endured the inferiority and was fiercely commanding on the deck while being shot through the left foot and right arm by bullets, but as he charged at the sailors, he was shot through the head by a rifle bullet. He was 31 years old. The ship was taken command by Arai and retreated back to Hakodate on the 26th, and Gengo;s body was buried the next day. The place of his burial was a certain temple, but it is said that it was later reburied behind the Hekketsu-hi Monument. In 1931, his nephew and adopted child, Nobumasa Kōga, built a monument in the precincts of the Daikannon Light Source Temple in Komagome, Tokyo, near the former Kakegawa clan's residence.

Eugène Mercier
Eugène Mercier (1838-1904) is a French entrepreneur and a founder of a champagne company named after him. He is considered the inventor of film advertising.
Mercier Champagne House was founded in 1858.
It is located in Epernay. Mercier was a small business that was part of the "Owners' Union".
In 1871, he began digging huge cellars and construction of the world's largest barrel.
In 1885, cellars were opened to the public. Mercier installed advanced electrical equipment (firstly for that period), as well as a steam generator to illuminate the cellars.
In 1887, his barrel's tightness was tested with a new annual grape harvest.
Mercier arranged for his barrel to be moved to Paris for the 1889 World's Fair.
In 1891, French President Sadi Carnot visited the cellars and an excursion was organized for him.
In 1900, Paris hosted the last world exhibition of the XIX century. Eugene Mercier appreciated the potential of the Lumière brothers. He asked them to make a film about the Mercier champagne house, in which the owner himself appears on the screen. The world's first film commercial was shown during the world exhibition.
Enthusiastic about balloons, Eugene Mercier had an idea to consolidate the advertising of his company during the international exhibition. He secured a tethered balloon on the Field of Mars, loaded with bottles of champagne. During the 1900 World's Fair, the balloon was blown away by 20,000 people.
