Qlone

Qlone is a 3D scanning app based on photogrammetry for creation of 3D models on mobile devices. The resultant 3D models can be exported for external use.
Qlone was featured at the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference in 2021. It was also featured on BBC Click.
Qlone features
3D scanning
3D scanning with Qlone requires the use of an included mat design. The user prints the mat onto a sheet of paper, then places the object to be scanned in the centre of the mat. An augmented reality dome within the Qlone app guides the user through the subsequent scanning process. The iOS version of Qlone allows scanning without the mat.
3D editing
Qlone's editing features allow users to adjust 3D scanned models using texture mapping, polygon mesh size simplification, digital sculpting, cleaning and smoothing, and artistic effects.
File export
Qlone exports directly to multiple 3D platforms including SketchFab, i.materialise, Lens Studio for Snapchat, Shapeways and CGTrader. Models can also be exported in different 3D formats for use in other 3D tools – OBJ, STL, FBX, USDZ, GLB (Binary gLTF), PLY, and X3D.

Fred Stanley (baseball)

Fred Stanley (baseball)
Frederick Blair Stanley (born August 13, 1947) is an American former professional baseball shortstop, who played in Major League Baseball (MLB) from 1969 to 1982 for the Seattle Pilots / Milwaukee Brewers, Cleveland Indians, San Diego Padres, New York Yankees, and Oakland Athletics. While with the Yankees, he won two World Series championships, back to back in 1977 and 1978, both over the Los Angeles Dodgers. Stanley currently serves as the director of player development for the San Francisco Giants.
Career
Nicknamed "Chicken", Stanley was a key backup to Bucky Dent of the Yankees teams in the late 1970s and was a part of the Yankees championship teams in both 1977 and 1978. Stanley was a favorite player of Phil Rizzuto, who did the color analysis for the Yankees during this timeframe. On September 8, 1973, Stanley hit the last grand slam at the original Yankee Stadium.
Since 1960, no other non-pitcher has had as many seasons (nine) with at least 30 at-bats and five or fewer extra base hits.
On October 12, 2007, Stanley was appointed as the Giants' Director of Player Development. Prior to that, he held several positions in the Giants' organization, including spending 2000–2004 as a minor league manager. In 2001, Stanley managed the Salem-Keizer Volcanoes to the league championship of the Northwest League.
Stanley was the last active player in the major leagues to have played for the short-lived Seattle Pilots franchise.

Mount Pellegrino

Mount Pellegrino is a hill facing east on the bay of Palermo, Sicily, southern Italy, located north of the city.
It is 606 metres (1,970 ft) high with panorama views of the city, its surrounding mountains and the Tyrrhenian Sea. In his book Travels in Italy, Goethe described Monte Pellegrino as the most beautiful promontory in the world.
The mountain is home to the Santuario di Santa Rosalia, venerating a patron saint of Palermo. Separate is a seashore facing belvedere with a Statue of Santa Rosalia.
In addition, the paleolithic graffiti of the Grotta dell'Addaura were found on this mountain in 1943, but the site is no longer accessible.
From Palermo, is visible the pink Castello Utveggio on a lower promontory.

Hezany

Hezany is a village in Dohuk Governorate in Kurdistan Region, Iraq. It is located in the Nahla valley in the Amadiya District.
In the village, there is a church of Mar Gewargis of the Ancient Church of the East.
History
After the Assyrian genocide in the First World War, Hezany was resettled by Assyrians from Lower Tyari in 1920, all of whom were adherents of the Church of the East. The village was divided into Hezany Eletha (upper Hezany) and Hezany Khtetha (lower Hezany). In 1938, lower Hezany was inhabited by 25 people, with 5 families, and upper Hezany had a population of 155, with 28 families, for a total of 180 people, and 33 families. The population of lower Hezany grew to 210, whereas upper Hezany decreased to 44 by the Iraqi census of 1957, for a total of 254 people.
At the onset of the First Iraqi–Kurdish War in 1961, 100 families in 42 houses inhabited the village. During the war, neighbouring Kurds illegally seized 60 dunams of agricultural land, and Hezany was razed by government irregulars in 1964 and 1969. The population subsequently decreased in lower Hezany to 145, and to 20 people in upper Hezany, for a total of 165 people by 1977. The village was destroyed by the Iraqi government in 1987 during the Al-Anfal campaign, displacing the remaining 110 families.
Hezany was rebuilt and repopulated by 50 families in the aftermath of the 1991 uprisings in Iraq. Although wholly populated by Assyrians, the Kurdistan Regional Government officially imposed the Kurdish name Hezanke on the village. Villagers reported they had suffered from illegal land expropriation by Kurds in 1994 and 1997. A blockade imposed by Kurdistan Democratic Party militants on Hezany and seven other Assyrian villages in the valley in August 1999 by prohibiting the movement of food into the village, which was dependent on food from Akre, was lifted after the intervention of the United Nations and International Committee of the Red Cross.
In early 2009, 29 displaced Assyrians, with 10 families, inhabited the village. As of 2010, upper Hezany is completely uninhabited and lower Hezany partially uninhabited, despite the construction of houses by the Kurdistan Regional Government, due to the lack of infrastructure and poor economic opportunities. Irrigation channels in the village were restored by the Assyrian Aid Society in May 2013. As of 2021, 153 Assyrians inhabit Hezany.

فلفل الماء

فلفل الماء
فُلْفُل المَاءِ أو أرسمأرت أو عصا الراعي أو زنجبيل الكلاب هو نباتات عشبية مائية من ال البطباطية.
هي عشبة زاحفة شائعة، والنوع الخفيف منها له أوراق عريضة عند مفاصل السيقان الحمراء الضخمة وتتميز ببقع سوداء نصف دائرية، ولها جذر طويل متفرع. طعمها مر قليلًا كطعم نبتة الحماض.
الانتشار
ينمو هذا النوع من النباتات في الاماكن المائية مثل الحفر، الانهار، المستنقعات وغيرها خلال فترة فصل الصيف.
وقت التزهير
تنمو هذه النبات وتطلق في أول فصل الصيف وتنضج البذور عند انتهائه.
الفوائد الطبية
النوع الخفيف فعال للقروح الفاسدة، ويقتل الدود ويطهر المواضع الفاسدة.
أما العصير المقطر أو الموضوع على الأورام الباردة فانه يبرؤها، كما أنه ينفع الدم المتجمد من الرضات والضربات والوقوع ونحو ذلك.
وتساعد قطع من جذور هذه النبتة وبعض من بذورها المدقوقة في تقليل وتخفيف الام السن والضرس.
أوراقها المدقوقة تساهم في تخفيف آلام وأوجاع المفاصل.
يقضي العصير منه على الدود في الاذان تقطيرا.
النوع الخفيف ينفع ضد كل الالتهابات عند بدايتها ويشفي كل الجروح ويحافظ عليها من الالتهاب.
لا ينمو النوع الحاد من العشبة أطول من النوع الاخف ولكن له عدة اوراق بلون اوراق شجر الدراق من البقع.
إذا رغبت بتمزيق ورقة من اوراق تلك النبتة وحاولت تمريرها عللى لسانك فانك ستشعر بالم حاد.
إذا نثرت قليلا من بذور أو اوراق أو قطع هذه النبتة غي غرفة معينة فان البراغيث ستموت ولو حاولت وضع حفنة منه تحت صهوة الفرس فسوف تلاحظ تنشطها بالرغم من انها كانت قبل ذلك متعبة.
الاستعمال الحديث
يصنع نوع من الصباغ من العشبة الحادة ويستعمل للإسهال وللديزنتاريا. أما النوع الخفيف منها فليس شائع الاستعمال أي لا تستخدم بكثرة في الحياة والمجالات اليومية، إلا أن نقوعًا من النبتة توصف لاضطرابات وأمراض الرئتين، للروماتزم، الاكزيما، وأمراض الكبد وغيرها.
حيث أن هذه النبتة تحتوي على زيت لاذع.

1997 أس دابليو 33 (ويعرف أيضًا باسم (10396) 1997 أس دابليو 33 وفق تسمية الكوكب الصغير) ؛ هو كويكب ضمن حزام الكويكبات.
اكتُشف هذا الجُرم الفلكي بواسطة برنامج شميدت للكويكبات في بكين في 17 سبتمبر 1997، وترتيبه 10396 من حيث الاكتشاف.
الوصف
اكتُشف في 17 سبتمبر 1997 في محطة شينغلونغ، الواقع في جبال يان، مقاطعة خبي في الصين، بواسطة برنامج شميدت للكويكبات في بكين. وقد رصد المشروع 2,440 مشاهدة للكويكب إلى غاية 25 أغسطس 2021 بتوقيت منطقة المحيط الهادئ، أي في مدة قدرها 16,180 يومًا (44.3 عام). تستغرق الفترة المدارية للكويكب 2,020 يومًا (5.5 عام).
الخصائص المدارية
يتميز مدار هذا الكويكب بنصف محور رئيسي يبلغ 3.12 وحدة فلكية، وحضيض قدره 2.63 وحدة فلكية، وانحراف قدره 0.157 وزاوية ميلان 4.99 درجة بالنسبة لمسار الشمس. بسبب هذه الخصائص، أي نصف المحور الرئيسي بين 2 و3.2 وحدة فلكية وحضيض أكبر من 1,666 وحدة فلكية، يُصنف هذا الجُرم الفلكي وفقًا لقاعدة بيانات مختبر الدفع النفاث لأجرام النظام الشمسي الصغيرة كائنًا من حزام الكويكبات الرئيسي.
الخصائص الفيزيائية
يُقدر القدر المطلق (H) لـ بـ13.25 ووضاءته بـ0.100، مما يمكِّن تقدير قطره بـ 12.093كم. استُخلصت هذه النتائج بفضل ملاحظات مستكشف الأشعة تحت الحمراء عريض المجال (WISE)، وهو مرصد فضائي أمريكي وُضع في المدار في عام 2009 ويراقب السماء بأكملها بالأشعة تحت الحمراء، في عام 2011، نُشرت النتائج الأولى المتعلقة بالكويكبات من الحزام الرئيسي.
