Tell el-Maqlub

Tell el-Maqlub ('Over-turned mound') is an archaeological site in Ajloun Governorate, Jordan. It is dated to the Bronze and Iron Ages.
Location
Tell el-Maqlub is situated atop of a hill overlooking a bend in Wadi Yabis, in a region known in biblical times as Gilead. It is located 35 km from the Sea of Galilee, 75 km from the Mediterranean Sea, 11 km east of the Jordan River, 3 km northeast of Halawah, and 20 km south-southwest of Beit She'an, Israel.
Biblical identification
Tell el-Maqlub is commonly identified with biblical town of Jabesh Gilead. This identification is thought to be in accordance with the account of Eusebius, who described "Iabeis Galaad" in the 4th century CE as a "village beyond the Jordan located on the mountains six miles from the city of Pella on the road to Gerasa."
Some biblical scholars, including Nelson Gluck, preferred to place Jabesh-Gilead in Tell Abu el-Kharaz, located further east along the Wadi Yabis. This identification is based on the account given in Book of Samuel, which mentions Jabesh as being a night's march away from Beit She'an.
Findings
Tell el-Maqlub was once surrounded by a massive defensive wall, parts of it are still visible today. Potsherds from the Early Bronze Age (I-II), Middle Bronze Age (I-IIA), Iron Age (I-II) and Roman-Byzantine periods were found here.
Based on archeological surveys conducted at the site, Tell el-Maqlub was a large, fortified town during the Iron Age, and when the nearby hills were first terraced for agriculture.

Omphalodes verna

Omphalodes verna, the creeping navelwort or blue-eyed-Mary, is a rhizomatous herbaceous perennial plant in the genus Omphalodes belonging to the family Boraginaceae.
Etymology
The genus name Omphalodes derives from the Greek word , meaning navel, referring to the shape of the small fruits, while the name verna of the species, deriving from the Latin , refers to the early blooming flowers.
Description
Omphalodes verna can reach in height. The stem snakes across the ground (hence the alternative name of creeping forget-me-not). The overwintering buds are situated just below the soil surface (hemicryptophyte). This species can spread quickly, it is hard to uproot and by some accounts may even be invasive, but mostly coexists with other plants well.
Its leaves are grooved, semi-evergreen and medium green, about long and wide. They are veiny, with fine hairs and oval to heart in shape, and pointed at the tip.
In Spring the plant produces clusters of 3-5 petiolated small, light blue hermaphrodite flowers with white or yellow star-shaped centers. The wheel-shaped corolla is fused and five-lobed and has a diameter of . These plants bloom from March through May. The mericarps are hairy and navel-shaped, about long.
Creeping navelwort is cultivated in many countries as an ornamental plant. It may be easily propagated from seeds. It may be confused with forget-me-not (Myosotis sp.), as flowers are very similar, but it can be distinguished by its much larger and coarser, slightly prickly leaves, its firm grip with the ground, and its quite different fruits, which are not covered in fine hooked hairs to assist in transport as forget-me-not fruits are.
Distribution
It is widespread in central and south-eastern Europe, excluding the Pyrenees. It is also present in Quebec, Canada.
Habitat
This species typically grows in the shade of trees, in fresh mountain forests (especially beech), wastelands and scrublands. The plant prefers sandy or clay loam and moist soils in shady places, at an altitude of above sea level.

Stanford torus

Stanford torus
The Stanford torus is a proposed NASA design for a space habitat capable of housing 10,000 to 140,000 permanent residents.
The Stanford torus was proposed during the 1975 NASA Summer Study, conducted at Stanford University, with the purpose of exploring and speculating on designs for future space colonies (Gerard O'Neill later proposed his Island One or Bernal sphere as an alternative to the torus). "Stanford torus" refers only to this particular version of the design, as the concept of a ring-shaped rotating space station was previously proposed by Konstantin Tsiolkovsky ("Bublik-City", 1903), Herman Potočnik (1923) or Wernher von Braun (1952), among others.
It consists of a torus, or doughnut-shaped ring, that is 1.8 km in diameter (for the proposed 10,000 person habitat described in the 1975 Summer Study) and rotates once per minute to provide between 0.9 g and 1.0 g of artificial gravity on the inside of the outer ring via centrifugal force.
Sunlight is provided to the interior of the torus by a system of mirrors, including a large non-rotating primary solar mirror.
The ring is connected to a hub via a number of "spokes", which serve as conduits for people and materials travelling to and from the hub. Since the hub is at the rotational axis of the station, it experiences the least artificial gravity and is the easiest location for spacecraft to dock. Zero-gravity industry is performed in a non-rotating module attached to the hub's axis.
The interior space of the torus itself is used as living space, and is large enough that a "natural" environment can be simulated; the torus appears similar to a long, narrow, straight glacial valley whose ends curve upward and eventually meet overhead to form a complete circle. The population density is similar to a dense suburb, with part of the ring dedicated to agriculture and part to housing.
Construction
The torus would require nearly 10 million tons of mass. Construction would use materials extracted from the Moon and sent to space using a mass accelerator. A mass catcher at L2 would collect the materials, transporting them to L5 where they could be processed in an industrial facility to construct the torus. Only materials that could not be obtained from the Moon would have to be imported from Earth. Asteroid mining is an alternative source of materials.
General characteristics
Location: Earth–Moon L5 Lagrangian point
Total mass: 10 million tons (including radiation shield (95%), habitat, and atmosphere)
Diameter:
Circumference: 5,623.45 m (3.49 mi)
Habitation tube diameter:
Spokes: 6 spokes of diameter
Rotation: 1 revolution per minute
Radiation shield: thick raw lunar soil

فورتنايت باتل رويال

فورتنايت باتل رويال هي لعبة فيديو من نوع باتل رويال جماعية مجانية. صدرت اللعبة سنة 2018، وصممت وبنيت اللعبة باستخدام محرك الألعاب أنريل إنجن 4 وهو محرك ألعاب مجاني من إنتاج نفس الشركة مبني بلغة ++C، وتعمل اللعبة على أنظمة متعددة، وهي: مايكروسوفت ويندوز، ماك أو إس، بلاي ستيشن 4، إكس بوكس ون، آي أو إس، نينتندو سويتش، بلاي ستيشن 5، إكس بوكس سيريس إكس وأندرويد، وهي من إنتاج وتطوير ونشر شركة إيبك غيمز الأمريكية.
فكرة اللعبة
تستوحي هذا النوع من الألعاب فكرتها من رواية وفلم يابانيان يحملان نفس الاسم (باتل رويال) من تأليف الكاتب الياباني كوشون تاكامي (بالإنجليزية: Kōshun Takami)، وتعتمد اللعبة على فكرة البقاء حتى الأخير حيث يفوز من يصمد حتى النهاية. وتبدأ اللعبة عندا يصل 100 لاعب إلى الجزيرة على متن باص طائر يلقي بهم على الجزيرة ويتوجب على اللاعبين استخدام طائرة شراعية صغيرة للهبوط، ويبدأ اللاعبون اللعب بدون أسلحة ودروع واقية عدا عن معول، ويتوجب عليهم البحث داخل الجزيرة في المباني والمساحات المحيطة والصناديق عن الأسلحة والأدوية والدروع ومواد البناء، ثم البدأ في التخلص من اللاعبين الآخرين وتجنب الهزيمة من قبلهم، ويمكن اللعب كلاعب منفرد أو كثنائي أو كفريق من أربعة لاعبين، ويفوز الفريق الثنائي أو ذو الأربعة اللاعبين في حال بقى على الأقل واحد من أفراد الفريق حتى النهاية، وبالإضافة إلى ذلك فإن مساحة اللعب تتقلص باستمرار بسبب ما يسمى العاصفة التي تحيط بالجزيرة وتدفع اللاعبين في مساحة أصغر مع مرور الوقت.
