Jimmy Fletcher

Jimmy Fletcher
James Alfred Fletcher (10 November 1931 - 22 November 2020) was an English former footballer of the 1950s and 1960s, who played professionally for Gillingham and as a semi-professional for various clubs in Kent. After retiring from football he became a successful breeder of racing greyhounds.
Football career
Born in the village of Wouldham in Kent, Fletcher began his career with the local team before joining Chatham Town of the Kent League. He subsequently played for other Kent-based non-league clubs Faversham Town and Maidstone United, where he was a leading goalscorer in the Corinthian League and was twice chosen to play for the England national amateur team.
In 1957 he turned professional with Gillingham of the Football League Third Division South and made his debut in the first game of the 1957–58 season, partnering Ron Saunders in attack. He failed to gain a regular place in the Gills' first team and left the club at the end of the season to join Southend United. He spent six months at Roots Hall but never played for the club's first team. In January 1959 he returned to the non-league scene, joining Gravesend & Northfleet of the Southern Football League, and later played for Dartford, Margate and Dover.
Post-football career
After retiring from football in 1964, Fletcher became a successful breeder of racing greyhounds and went on to win large amounts of money betting on his dogs. His greatest success came in 1991, when his consortium won £200,000 on a high-profile race at Wimbledon Stadium. In 2001, he lived in Sutton Valence near Maidstone and still regularly attended greyhound races.

Shammar Yahri'sh

Shammar Yahri'sh
Shammar Yar'ish Al Manou full name (Himyaritic: , romanized: ) was a Himyarite king.
Life
In AD 275, he led his troops to victory over Najran, Ma'rib (the Sabaeans later reconquered their capital) and Hadhramaut. He succeeded in uniting much of Yemen, assuming the title "King of Saba and Dhu Raydan and Hadhramaut and Yamnat" (Yamnat may have been the name of the Southern part of Yemen). From his time forward the Himyarite kings were known as "Tubba kings", and praised for their courage and leadership in traditional Yemeni poetry. Shamar name was recorded in Namara inscription.
Diplomacy
Shammar Yahri'sh sent a delegation to the Arab tribe of al-Azd and Tanukh and to the Sassanid court in Ctesiphon (apparently during the reign of Bahram II), which led to an exchange of ambassadors. At about the same time, the Roman emperor Constantius II sent the missionary Theophilus to ask if churches could be built for Roman India traders in the Himyarite territory.
Legacy
In about 280 AD, Shammar Yuharʿish, residing at his capital Ẓafār, united Yemen under his rule.
One hundred years later Abu Karib Asad, who was nicknamed "Asad al-Kamel" (the perfect one) fulfilled the highest aspirations of Shammar Yuharish. Under his leadership the old Sabaean Kingdom with Ma'rib as the capital was conquered and ceased to exist as an independent kingdom. The Axumites, who had become a strong power and had occupied the Tihamah and part of the highlands more than once, were driven back to Ethiopia. During his rule pre-Islamic Yemen probably reached its greatest expansion including southern parts of present Saudi Arabia and Oman as a whole.
In South Arabian lore
It is believed that he conquered the Levant (Syria, Palestine). Its also believed that he subjugated the kingdom of Israel and Persia and reached as far as the Tibet. It is also believed he invaded Northern India and acquired much loot. His father king Yasir Yun'im conquered Egypt and reached as far as the Strait of Gibraltar.

مصدر نقطي

مصدر نقطي
المصدر النقطي هو مصدر محلي واحد يمكن التعرف عليه لشيء ما. للمصدر النقطي قدر ضئيل من التمييز، يميزه عن هندسة المصادر الأخرى. ويطلق على المصادر بأنها مصادر نقطية لأن في النمذجة الرياضية، هذه المصادر عادة ما يمكن أن يقترب باعتباره الرياضية نقطة لتحليل تبسيط.
لا يلزم أن يكون المصدر الفعلي صغيرًا ماديًا، إذا كان حجمه ضئيلًا بالنسبة إلى مقاييس الطول الأخرى. على سبيل المثال، في علم الفلك، تُعامل النجوم بشكل روتيني كمصادر نقطية، على الرغم من أنها في الواقع أكبر بكثير من الأرض.
في فضاء ثلاثي الأبعاد، تنخفض كثافة شيء ما يترك مصدر نقطة بالتناسب مع المربع العكسي للمسافة من المصدر، إذا كان التوزيع متوحد الخواص، ولا يوجد امتصاص أو خسارة أخرى.
الرياضيات
في الرياضيات، المصدر النقطي هو التفرد الذي ينبعث منه التدفق. غالبًا ما تُستخدم المصادر النقطية الرياضية لتقريب الواقع في الفيزياء والمجالات الأخرى.
ضوء
بشكل عام، يمكن اعتبار مصدر الضوء مصدرًا نقطيًا إذا كانت دقة أداة التصوير منخفضة جدًا بحيث لا يمكن تحديد الحجم الظاهري للمصدر. هناك نوعان ومصادر للضوء. مصدر نقطي ومصدر موسع.
رياضيا يمكن اعتبار الجسم مصدرا نقطيا إذا كان حجمه الزاوي، ، أصغر بكثير من قدرة حل التلسكوب: </br> ، حيث هو الطول الموجي للضوء و قطر التلسكوب.
الإشعاع الكهرومغناطيسي
موجة راديو المصادر أصغر من الطول الموجي كما تعامل عموما كمصادر نقطة. عادة ما تكون الانبعاثات الراديوية الناتجة عن دائرة كهربائية ثابتة مستقطبة، مما يؤدي إلى إنتاج إشعاع متباين الخواص ومع ذلك، إذا كانت وسط الانتشار بلا خسارة، فإن القدرة الإشعاعية في الموجات الراديوية على مسافة معينة ستظل تختلف كمربع معكوس للمسافة إذا ظلت الزاوية ثابتة في استقطاب المصدر.
يمكن معالجة مصادر أشعة جاما والأشعة السينية كمصدر نقطي إذا كانت صغيرة بما فيه الكفاية. غالباً ما يكون التلوث الإشعاعي والمصادر النووية مصادر ثابتة. هذا له أهمية في الفيزياء الصحية والحماية من الإشعاع .
إشعاعات أيونية
تستخدم المصادر النقطية كوسيلة لمعايرة أجهزة الإشعاع المؤين. عادة ما تكون كبسولة محكمة الغلق ويتم استخدامها بشكل شائع لأجهزة قياس أشعة جاما والأشعة السينية والبيتا.
التلوث
غالبًا ما تُعتبر مصادر الأنواع المختلفة للتلوث مصادر أساسية في دراسات التلوث واسعة النطاق.

Elder Roma Wilson

Elder Roma Wilson (December 22, 1910 – October 25, 2018) was an American gospel harmonica player and singer. A clergyman, Wilson discovered he had a degree of notability later in his life, having previously been unaware of interest in his work.
Biography
Wilson was born in Hickory Flat, Mississippi, United States. His father was one-half Muscogee. Wilson was a self-taught harmonica player in his early teens, using the discarded instruments of his elder siblings (he had five brothers and four sisters). He developed an unusual "choking" style, derived from the difficulty of soliciting sounds from his well-worn instruments. By the age of fifteen, he was working on the railroad. He later worked at a sawmill. Wilson married at the age of nineteen. He became an ordained minister in the Pentecostal church in 1929, and he joined the self-styled Reverend Leon Pinson, who played the guitar, in traveling across north Mississippi, both playing and preaching. They developed a strong church following.
Wilson moved to Michigan in 1940 and later to Detroit. He continued his musical interests, playing on street corners. In 1948, he played in a record store on Hastings Street in Detroit and was recorded by the shop owner. The owner subsequently allowed the tracks to be released, and students of Wilson's style of playing were intrigued. Wilson was unaware of the attention. Following the death of his first wife, he moved back to Mississippi. He remarried in 1977. By 1989, following a chance telephone call, Wilson reactivated his musical partnership with Pinson. He became aware of global interest in his recordings, which he heard for the first time in 1991. Capitalizing on the notability, he and Pinson played at music festivals, including the Chicago Blues Festival and the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival.
In 1994, Wilson was a recipient of a National Heritage Fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts, which is the highest honor in the folk and traditional arts in the United States. In that year he also recorded the bulk of the music included on his debut album. Most of tracks on his 1995 LP This Train were recorded when Wilson was in his early eighties. The sides contained a mixture of solo efforts, some accompanied by his wife or with a church choir, and included "Ain't It a Shame", "This Train Is a Clean Train", and "Amazing Grace". The album also included six harmonica-dominated pieces unwittingly recorded with his children in 1948. Wilson was still preaching, singing and playing harmonica in Detroit in 2015, at the age of 104. Wilson died in Detroit, Michigan, on October 25, 2018, at the age of 107.
