# Old Croatian Sighthound

The Old Croatian Sighthound (Croatian: hrt, 'greyhound'), also known as the Old Bosnian Sighthound, is an extinct breed of sighthound from the countries of Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
It is claimed the Old Croatian Sighthound was descended from sighthounds kept by the Celts; it closely resembled images of dogs on Celtic coins from the 5th century BC, as such it is believed to be closely related to the greyhound, which was introduced to Britain by the Celts. Descriptions of the breed in the region have been found in the writings of friars from the 13th and 14th centuries AD.
The Old Croatian Sighthound was almost identical to the Greyhound although slightly smaller, with dogs standing between 60 and 70 centimetres (24 and 28 in) bitches being 5 to 10 centimetres (2.0 to 3.9 in) shorter. The breed had a short coat and was predominantly white with black, brown, red or yellow patches. Traditionally the breed was kept for coursing, predominantly hunting hare; it would catch the game and return it to the hunter.
The breed never received recognition by any kennel club and suffered greatly under the former Yugoslavia. The government of Yugoslavia banned coursing with sighthounds and further prohibited hunters from owning dogs without kennel club registration. In the early 1980s, some remaining specimens were found in Orašje and the surrounding villages; a pair were brought to the Zagreb School of Veterinary Medicine with the hope of starting a breeding program, but ultimately the program failed; it is believed the breed was extinct by 1995.
# Pain-free consciousness

Pain-free consciousness refers to a state of awareness and cognitive function that is devoid of physical or emotional pain. This concept is of particular interest in fields such as neuroscience, psychology, and philosophy, as it explores the nature of consciousness and the subjective experience of pain. Pain-free consciousness represents a frontier in our understanding of the human experience. As research continues to unravel the mysteries of pain and consciousness, the potential for improving the lives of those affected by chronic pain grows ever more promising.

## Significance

Understanding pain-free consciousness is crucial for several reasons. Firstly, insights into pain-free consciousness can inform the development of more effective pain management strategies, particularly for chronic pain sufferers. Secondly, it raises questions about the nature of consciousness and the role of pain in human experience. Lastly, for individuals with conditions that cause constant pain, achieving a pain-free state can significantly improve their quality of life.

## Historical context

The study of pain and consciousness has evolved over centuries. Early philosophers and scientists explored the nature of pain and its relationship to the mind and body. With advancements in neuroscience, researchers have gained a deeper understanding of the neural mechanisms underlying pain perception and consciousness.

## Research and theories

Several theories and research findings contribute to our understanding of pain-free consciousness. The Gate Control Theory, proposed by Ronald Melzack and Patrick Wall, suggests that pain signals can be modulated by the brain, influencing the perception of pain. Neuroplasticity, the brain's ability to reorganize and form new neural connections, can play a role in managing pain and achieving a pain-free state. Mindfulness and meditation practices have been shown to reduce pain perception by altering the brain's response to pain stimuli.

## Challenges and future directions

Despite advancements, several challenges remain in achieving and maintaining pain-free consciousness. Pain perception varies greatly among individuals, making it difficult to develop universal treatments. The use of certain pain management techniques, such as deep brain stimulation, raises ethical questions. Future research will likely require collaboration across disciplines to fully understand and address the complexities of pain-free consciousness (Melzack, 1999).
# Joseph Kellman

Joseph Kellman (January 7, 1920 – January 7, 2010) was an American businessman and philanthropist. Born in Chicago, Illinois, he grew up in the Lawndale neighborhood. Due to the Great Depression, Kellman left school in the 9th grade to work in his father's glass shop. Together with his brother, Kellman inherited their father's glass business. At one point the country's largest auto glass chain, in 1997, it merged with Safelite AutoGlass, which is part of Belron US.

## Thoroughbred racing

An owner and breeder of Thoroughbred racehorses, as part of his bloodstock Joseph Kellman owned the broodmare, Lester's Pride. He named her foals after his friends in the entertainment industry. A colt named for Phil Foster became a stakes winner and the filly Ivy Hackett was named for the daughter of Buddy Hackett.
In 1973 Kellman met with considerable success with Shecky Greene, named for the comedian, Shecky Greene. Among his wins, the colt captured the 1973 Hutcheson Stakes, Fountain of Youth Stakes, Arlington-Washington Futurity Stakes, and the Stepping Stone Purse en route to earning 1973 American Champion Sprint Horse honors.

## Better Boys Foundation

Kellman's aforementioned interest in boxing and his long-burning desire to put something back into his old neighborhood began his lifetime of civic involvement. In 1961, with the help of Buddy Hackett, Kellman founded the Better Boys Foundation, currently named BBF Family Services, to help one of the nation's most disadvantaged inner city neighborhoods. The Better Boys Foundation offers youth participants tutoring and mentoring for academic enhancement and high school graduation, leadership training, cultural diversity and social skills training.

## Corporate/Community Schools of America

In 1988 he established the country's first business-sponsored elementary school, the Joseph Kellman Corporate Community Elementary School in impoverished North Lawndale. The philosophy behind the project was to applying the techniques that are common in business to public education and to improve the learning environment in inner-city public schools. The school has been innovative in its use of computer technology and implementing 1-to-1 learning methods. Since the establishment of the school the primarily African-American residents of the neighborhood have enjoyed a truly different school working in close partnership with the Better Boys Foundation to improve the quality of life for North Lawndale youth and their families. As of 2019, the school is part of the Chicago Public Schools system and continues to offer its students unique learning opportunities by being a Technology Magnet Program, an Early Children's Literacy Program, by offering numerous educational support opportunities both in the classroom and online, and by granting each graduate a laptop or tablet.

John Sargent (1749 – 9 September 1831) was a British Member of Parliament and administrator.

## Early life and education

He was born a younger son of John Sargent, MP of Halstead Place, Kent and educated at Eton College (1760–67) and St. John’s College, Cambridge (1767) before studying law at Lincoln's Inn from 1770.

## Career

# Rolls-Royce Wraith (1938)

The Rolls-Royce Wraith (not to be confused with the earlier small horsepower Goshawk-powered car, the 25/30 h.p) was built by Rolls-Royce at their Derby factory from 1938 to 1939 and supplied to independent coachbuilders as a rolling chassis.
Wraith is also the name of a new coupé announced by Rolls-Royce in 2013.
Wraith is an old Scottish word meaning "ghost" or "spirit", continuing Rolls-Royce's (at the time) new nomenclature that they had adopted, using words relating to silent, gracious, elegant, rarely seen and highly sought after for these reasons. In fact, the Wraith name originated from a 40/50 h.p, (Silver Ghost) that was named "The Wraith" by its original owner.

## Chassis design

The in-line six cylinder, overhead valve, 4,257 cc engine was based on that of the 25/30 but featured a cross-flow cylinder head. The four-speed gearbox had synchromesh on second, third and fourth speeds and retained the traditional right-hand change. The later engines were used as the basis for the Bentley MK V and the Corniche.
The Wraith featured an independent coil-sprung front suspension based on Packard 120 retaining semi elliptical leaf springs on the rear axle. The hydraulic dampers at the front had their damping rate controlled by governor and so varied with the speed of the car, making it superior to its predecessor, the 25/30 H.P. and on par with the Phantom III. The car was still built on a separate chassis but this was now of welded rather than the traditional riveted construction. The drum brakes were assisted by a mechanical servo driven by the engine patented by Hispano-Suiza and built by Rolls-Royce under licence. Wire wheels of 17 inch diameter were fitted, with the spokes usually covered by removable discs. A built in hydraulic jacking system was fitted operated by a lever under the passenger seat.

## Performance

Cars based on the Wraith chassis could reach 85 mph (137 km/h); this was very dependent on the weight and style of body fitted. In one test by "The Motor" magazine in October 1938, a 0–50 mph time of 16.4 seconds was recorded.

## Production

In 1938, a typical touring car cost £1700, which included the chassis cost of £1100. 492 chassis were made. Although chassis were only produced in 1939, cars bearing 1940 or later delivery and registration dates are not uncommon. Some cars were finished off during early 1940. Others were held in storage and sold and first registered during the war years. A few were actually bodied during wartime. In addition, 16 prewar chassis were bodied in early 1946 and duly delivered to the government. The final Wraith was delivered in 1947.

## Film and media appearances

* The eponymous registration plate of the novel and TV series NOS4A2 belongs to a Rolls-Royce Wraith.
* Another Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith appeared in the 1956 novel "The Hundred and One Dalmatians" as Cruella de Vil's car.

# Symbolism of numbers
## Symbolism of Numbers

The symbolism of numbers is a concept that assigns specific meanings and characteristics to each number, beyond their quantitative value. This practice can be found in various cultures, philosophies, and belief systems, ranging from numerology to biblical interpretations and folklore.

### Numerology

Numerology is a pseudoscience that claims to interpret the spiritual meaning of numbers and how they influence people's lives. It is based on the idea that the universe manifests energy through the repetition of numbers in daily situations, such as times, license plates, tickets, addresses, or phone numbers.
