# Rami b. Abba

Rami bar Abba II (Hebrew: רמי בר אבא (השני)) was a Babylonian rabbi, of the sixth generation of amoraim.

## Biography

Once Rami wanted to build a new synagogue, by taking bricks and beams from an old synagogue and use them for the new synagogue in a different location. In general halacha prohibits of dismantling a synagogue before one has built another to take its place, lest the new one not end up being built. Rami asked whether this was permitted in his case, since the materials of the old synagogue would be used for the new. He asked Rav Papa and then R. Huna b. Joshua (or according to another version, Rav Papi and then R. Huna b. Tahlifa) who both prohibited him from doing so.
According to Sheiltot of Ahai of Shabha, Rami b. Abba was Rav Ashi's father-in-law, and probably it is this Rami b. Abba (and not Rami b. Abba I).
# Valley Curtain

Valley Curtain was a 1972 environmental artwork in which artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude raised an orange curtain of fabric across a mountainous span of Colorado State Highway 325. Preparations began within a year of their Australian Wrapped Coast. The artists formed a corporation to benefit from tax and other liabilities, a form they used for later projects. Following a failed attempt to mount the curtain in late 1971, a new engineer and builder-contractor raised the fabric in August 1972. The work only stood for 28 hours before the wind again destroyed the fabric. This work, their most expensive to date and first to involve construction workers, was captured in a documentary by David and Albert Maysles. Christo's Valley Curtain was nominated for Best Documentary Short in the 1974 Academy Awards.

# Qodana

Qodana, created by developer tools company JetBrains, is a code quality platform with a static analysis engine that integrates into CI/CD pipelines. It is used by software development teams to improve code quality by assisting them with the code review process, mitigating some human error, enforcing quality guidelines, and building quality gates, among other features.

## History and product development

Qodana preview was released in 2021, and the product was officially launched to the public in 2023, with support for over 60 programming languages and frameworks, most CI pipelines, and many JetBrains IDEs. JetBrains made a Visual Studio Code extension available in late 2023.
While developers can use the tool to support code reviews, spot bugs, and build quality gateways, it was also designed for QA engineers, security managers, development team leads, and legal teams. For these teams, it is a code quality monitoring tool to identify and suggest fixes for bugs, security vulnerabilities, duplications, licence audits and imperfections.

## Capabilities

The static code analysis tool integrates with CI/CD pipelines, allowing developers to address code problems within the IDE. Qodana is the sole code quality platform that leverages inspections directly integrated into JetBrains IDEs.

# Pythagoras (sculptor)

Pythagoras of Samos or Pythagoras of Rhegion (Ancient Greek: Πυθαγόρας, fl. 5th century BC) was an Ancient Greek sculptor from Samos. Pliny the Elder describes two different sculptors who bore a remarkable personal likeness to each other. In the nineteenth century Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology, Philip Smith accepted the opinion of Karl Julius Sillig (1801–1855) that Pliny's date of Olympiad 87 (c. 428 BC) ought to be referred to a Pythagoras of Samos but not a Pythagoras of Rhegium; other writers considered it possible Pythagoras of Samos lived closer to the beginning of the 5th century BC. Modern writers consider it certain these two were the same artist, and that this Pythagoras was one of the Samian exiles who moved to Zankle at the beginning of the 5th century BC and came under the power of the tyrant Anaxilas in Rhegium. While a Samian by birth, he was a pupil of Clearchus of Rhegium.
Pythagoras was at first a painter, but eventually turned to sculpture, apparently focusing on portraits of athletic champions from Hellenized cities of Magna Graecia in the Italian Peninsula and Sicily. Despite his contemporary eminence in his field, it is difficult to estimate his skill and attainments, as no certain copy of his works is known to exist, although the Charioteer of Delphi has sometimes been attributed to him. Pliny reports that Pythagoras' skill exceeded even that of Myron, credits him with the innovation of sculpting athletes with visible veins, and calls him the first artist to aim for "rhythm and symmetry". In his Natural History he goes on to list several of Pythagoras' works, including a renowned pankratiast at Delphi. He was celebrated as the maker of seven nude statues (which some suggest may have represented the Seven against Thebes), and one of an old man, which, in Pliny's time, stood near the temple of Fortuna Huiusce Diei ("The Fortune of This Day"), which Quintus Lutatius Catulus had built in fulfillment of a vow made at the Battle of Vercellae. Pausanias mentions a statue of this name, and lists several of his works, including a sculpture of the boxer Euthymos, without mentioning this artist's home town. The base of the statue has been found at Olympia however, on which Pythagoras signs himself as "the Samian".
# Uukwaluudhi

Uukwaluudhi is a traditional kingdom of the Ovambo people in what is today northern Namibia. Its capital is Tsandi, a settlement located about 30 km south of Outapi, and the location of the Uukwaluudhi Royal Homestead. The homestead is situated about 2 km past Tsandi towards the town of Okahao. Half of it is of modern structure where the Kwaluudhi king and queen reside, while the other half is left in traditional Owambo style. The King now lives in a modern house, but the old residence complex has been kept to keep the homestead live, learn more about people's culture, traditions and history. When a homestead with modern brick-buildings was constructed next to the traditional homestead in 1978, the king and his family moved over, to allow visitors access the former royal home. Guided tours takes approximately 1.5 hours which starts at the front yard of the homestead, used as a reception area for people visiting the kingdom.

## Uukwaluudhi king

Josia Shikongo Taapopi, is the twelfth king of the Uukwaluudhi. He was appointed by his uncle King Mwaala, who reigned for 50 years, the royal lineage extending through the matrilineal line.

# Quartet (Alison Brown album)

Quartet is an album by American banjoist Alison Brown, released in 1996.

## Reception

Professional ratings :
| Review scores ||
| Source | Rating |
| AllMusic | |
| No Depression | (no rating) |
In his AllMusic review, music critic Rick Anderson noted the flexibility of the banjo in jazz and bebop and complimented many tracks. He also noted "This sort of stylistic variety is grist for Brown's mill, but it doesn't always work in her favor: "My Favorite Marsha" (one of several tracks on which she switches to guitar) is nice but borders on new acoustic sappiness—her guitar playing is good but not exceptional."
Grant Alden, of No Depression magazine, had little good to say of the release, calling it "a straightforward jazz record, typical of the bland easy-listening music which now passes for that once dangerous and seductive music. It is distinctive only in that the principal instrument is a banjo, though Brown plays almost entirely without syncopation, and the band wouldn’t know how to swing if they were on a playground."

# Quietrevolution wind turbine

Quietrevolution (often stylized with lower-case "q": quietrevolution) is a brand of vertical-axis wind turbines owned since 2014 by Darrieus Ltd previously VWT Power Ltd in the United Kingdom.
Quietrevolution's helical designs are related to the Gorlov turbine, which evolved from the Darrieus wind turbine. Quietrevolution's qr5 model won several awards, including Building magazine's 2006 Sustainable Innovation Award. However, the qr5 did not perform well enough to ensure the original company's success, and it went into administration in 2014. The company and its intellectual property were taken over later in 2014 by Darrieus Limited previously VWT Power Limited, which now offers an improved qr6 model.
Both models consist of three vertical airfoil blades, each having a helical twist of 120 degrees. This feature spreads the torque evenly over the entire revolution, thus preventing the destructive pulsations of the straight-bladed giromill (Darrieus turbine). The wind pushes each blade around on both the windward and leeward sides of the turbine.
The qr5 turbine, rated for 6.5 kW, measures 3.1 metres (10 feet) in diameter and 5.5 metres (18 feet) high. The qr6 is similar: 3.1 m wide and 6 metres (20 feet) tall and is rated 7.5 kW.
Seven qr5 turbines were erected in 2012 at the Olympic Park in London in a failed attempt to generate on site 20% of the park's post-games energy requirements however there was insufficient wind resource. The turbines' usefulness was questioned: they were possibly net consumers of energy.
A public relations setback for the qr5 and original company was the poor performance of the turbine installed at Welsh government offices in Aberystwyth. The company blamed poor siting for the £48,000 turbine's generation of a monthly average of £5.28 worth of electricity (33 kWh) in 2012.

# Quantum heterostructure

A quantum heterostructure is a heterostructure in a substrate (usually a semiconductor material), where size restricts the movements of the charge carriers forcing them into a quantum confinement. This leads to the formation of a set of discrete energy levels at which the carriers can exist. Quantum heterostructures have sharper density of states than structures of more conventional sizes.
Quantum heterostructures are important for fabrication of short-wavelength light-emitting diodes and diode lasers, and for other optoelectronic applications, e.g. high-efficiency photovoltaic cells.
Examples of quantum heterostructures confining the carriers in quasi-two, -one and -zero dimensions are:
* Quantum wells
* Quantum wires
* Quantum dots

# Vacas Gordas River

The Vacas Gordas River is a river of Santa Catarina state in southeastern Brazil. It is part of the Uruguay River basin and a tributary of the Pelotas River.
# Vacatio legis

Vacatio legis (Latin for "absence of law") is a technical term in law which designates the period between the announcement of a legislation and its entering into force.
This concept also exists in the Catholic canon law.

## Civil law

In civil law, the vacatio legis is "a period of time between announcement of the legal act and its moment of entry into force". It is also known as "an adaptive period", "an accommodative period", "a temporary or transition stage", "a period of rest" or jokingly as "a legal act's holiday". The period of vacatio legis "begins in the moment, when the legal act is officially announced. That kind of regulation as legal act must have a proper announcement, which means that it must be published in official state journal".

## Catholic canon law

In the canon law of the Latin Church, the vacatio legis is three months for universal laws, and one month for particular laws, unless the law itself establishes a longer or shorter period of time. Months are reckoned according to the calendar from the date of publication. The law can stipulate a longer or shorter time of vacatio than that which is stipulated generally.
Stanislaus Woywod says of vacatio legis:
   The period of time allowed before a new law after its official promulgation goes into force is known in the terminology of Canon Law as the vacatio legis. Canonists have generally held that for all laws promulgated by the Holy See two months time is granted before in places outside the City of Rome the obligation of observing the law begins. For very remote countries even a longer time has been conceded, in order to let the knowledge of the law become sufficiently disseminated to make its enforcement possible. In more recent times the Holy See has in important laws frequently specified the period of the vacatio legis, as for instance in the case of the decree Ne Tenure which was published about eight months before it was to be enforced. The general principle, however, valid in civil law as well as in Canon Law, is that it is the duty of subjects to keep themselves informed through the ordinary channels of information, as, for instance, official magazines and papers, what laws, amendments, decisions, etc., have been enacted by the authorities. It is not necessary, hence, that the bishop announce to his clergy the laws and regulations passed by the supreme authority of the Church, nor can it be said that this is his duty, though for uniformity of action on part of the clergy of a diocese it is advantageous that the bishop announce to his priests the important new laws with direction to make them known on one and the same day to the people throughout the diocese.
