Antikythera mechanism
The Antikythera mechanism is a mechanical calculator. It was an Ancient Greek analogue computer and orrery. It was discovered in 1902 in a shipwreck off the coast of Antikythera, Greece.
A number of gears worked together, much like they do in a mechanical clock. The device could predict astronomical positions, eclipses, the motions of the sun, the moon and probably some of the planets. This makes it possible to use the device as a calendar. There were three big dials, and three small ones. Used as a calendar the main functions were:
The device was found on a shipwreck, near the island of Antikythera, between the Peloponnese and Crete. Different coins were also found on the wreck. There are coins from Pergamon, dating between 86 BC and 67 BC, and coins from Ephesus, dating between 70 BC and 60 BC. This means that the ship sunk between 70 and 60 BC. This device is the most complex device known in Antiquity. Only in the 14th century did people again have the knowledge to build similar devices.
The device is now on display in the Bronze Collection of the National Archaeological Museum of Athens.
When the mechanism was found, it consisted of corroded metal plates. Before x-rays could be used to show what was "inside", it was very difficult to judge what the mechanism did. Many of the parts that make up the mechanism were lost either during the roughly 2000 years it had laid on the sea floor, or shortly after discovery. Many gears have not "survived" in one piece. None of the scales is complete, and only one indicator survived as a fragment. The Antikythera Research project has produced a reconstruction; it added seven gears that were probably part of the device. There are 35 gears, and seven displays. There are many hints that the device was also used to calculate and show the movement of stars, even though none of the necessary gears or displays have been found.
Mechanism of operation
There were 82 parts in total. With the parts found it is not possible to get the mechanism with all displays and dials fully operational. It is also not possible to know how many parts have been lost. In total, 30 gears were found. One gear is probably part of a planetary display, that has been lost. To make the reconstructed displays work, another eight gears would be necessary, but they have been lost. There are two crown gears, all the other gears found are normal gears (that require a special alignment of the axes). The gear was a primitive one, and the transmission was not uniform. The mechanism was repaired at least once, which shows that it must have been used often.

United States Board on Geographic Names
The United States Board on Geographic Names (BGN) is a United States federal body whose purpose is to establish and maintain uniform usage of geographic names throughout the government of the United States.

Two Dozen and One Greyhounds
Story
Santa's Little Helper, the Simpson family's dog, runs to a race track and mates with a greyhound there. The owner of the racing greyhound lets the Simpson family keep her. She gives birth to 25 puppies. Homer and Marge are not able to take care of the puppies and tries giving them away. Mr. Burns asks them for all of the puppies. Lisa does not want Burns to have them, but he takes the puppies when the family does not see them.
Bart and Lisa later learn that Burns has taken the puppies. They go to his mansion and see him cleaning the puppies in a bath. Burns sees one of the puppies standing up and calls the puppy "Little Monty". He then sings a song on how he will kill the other 24 puppies and make a tuxedo out of them. Bart and Lisa go in the mansion to try to get the puppies back. They put the puppies in the basement and find Burns there. Bart tries to make it so that Burns does not know which puppy is Little Monty. When Burns makes Little Monty stand, Bart uses a clothes line to make all of the puppies stand. Burns wants to kill all of the puppies and Bart and Lisa, but then thinks he should not kill them all. He instead puts all of the puppies in greyhound racing and gets millions of dollars from it.
Production
"Two Dozen and One Greyhounds" was written by Mike Scully. Bob Anderson is the director of the episode. Al Jean and Mike Reiss came up with the story of the episode. They got the idea after seeing the movie One Hundred and One Dalmatians. David Mirkin said as a joke that they like to take ideas from Disney. For example, another episode called "Simpsoncalifragilisticexpiala(Annoyed Grunt)cious" is a parody of the movie Mary Poppins. Mirkin thought it was great that they could use ideas from Disney in a "completely legal way".
Matt Groening (creator of The Simpsons) was happy with the episode because it reminded him of the very first episode ("Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire"). He also liked the references to One Hundred and One Dalmatians. He liked the movie when he was a child and said it made him want to learn about animation and cartoons. In one part of the movie, the puppies can be seen watching cartoons on a television screen. Groening said that made him love how cartoons work and made him create a fictional television show in The Simpsons called The Itchy & Scratchy Show.
In the episode, Mr. Burns says Little Monty reminds him of the actor Rory Calhoun. George Meyer got the idea for Mr. Burns to say that. Matt Groening did not want this in the episode because he thought people watching it would not know who Calhoun was. This was kept in because Calhoun would be talked about again during the end of the episode. After the episode was broadcast, Groening went on the Internet and saw discussions from people who did not know who Calhoun was.
When Bart and Lisa first go near Mr. Burns' mansion, they see him singing a song called "See My Vest". It is about how he will kill the puppies and make a tuxedo out of them. One writer came up with the idea that Mr. Burns will show the bad things he will do to the puppies with a "fun and light" song. Scully made the lyrics to the song on the next day. The lyrics are a parody of the song "Be Our Guest" from Beauty and the Beast. Mirkin liked the song and said "The rhymes are really clever. It's one of our very best songs". He also liked that one song can be put in the episode without the episode becoming a musical. He said "We'll just do one song and that's plenty. We have fun with that and then we're out."
Animals in many cartoons may act like humans. Groening does not want this happening in The Simpsons and makes animals in the show act like real animals. This is how the animals in the episode act. Mirkin said they might not do this only for visual gags. Everything else has animals acting how they would in real life. Frank Welker made the animal sounds in the episode. Mirkin was happy with Welker's work and said "He can do anything, and it fits perfectly. You forget you're listening to a guy". Groening also thought he was very good at making animal sounds.
Producers and the people with Fox network's censors got into an argument if they should show Santa's Little Helper mating with the racing greyhound. Writers first thought it would not be a good idea, but Mirkin knew it could be shown without it being very sexual. In the episode, only the dogs' heads can be seen while they are mating. Storyboards of this part of the episode was later put on DVD. Anderson said that many people were laughing while the censors were looking at this part of the episode.
Reception
Ben Rayner from the Toronto Star thought that "Two Dozen and One Greyhounds" was one episode of The Simpsons he liked the most. He thought Mr. Burns in the "See My Vest" song was the most interesting part. The Toronto Star later made a list of the best and worst episodes of The Simpsons. They put this episode as one of the best and said "See My Vest" was the best part of the episode. Todd Glichrist from IGN called the episode "memorable" and talked about "See My Vest" by saying Mr. Burns "flirts with copyright infringement". Michael Price from IGN thought the song was just a great as "The Monorail Song" from the episode "Marge vs. the Monorail". Colin Jacobson from DVD Movie Guide liked the references to many Disney movies and to Roy Calhoun. Jacobson said this made it a "fine show".

She meets a girl called Nina Wang, who is from Garderobe.
They save a girl who is called Mashiro from some men, and Mashiro leads Nina and Arika to Garderobe in return. But they are attacked by a robot called a Slave monster. Nina then makes a temporary contract with Mashiro to protect her, so that she can prove that she was a good otome. Arika finds this very interesting, when the Slave Monster defeats Nina.

Newtonian telescope
A Newtonian telescope is a type of telescope that was invented by the English scientist Sir Isaac Newton. The telescope sends an image to the back of the tube and then reflects it off an angled mirror back up the tube. The image then goes into an eyepiece and into the person's eye. The eyepiece uses one or more lenses that are used to make the image larger.
Early Newtonian telescopes were made for real science work. Now, "newtonians" are mostly used by amateur astronomers. The most popular type is the Dobsonian telescope, which is on a simple rockerbox mount. People like them because they are cheap to make and easy to use.

This movie was rated NC-17 (no one seventeen and under) by the United States' Motion Picture Association of America. The reason is extreme violence.

Plot
The next morning at the station of the Los Angeles Police Department, following Salvador getting away and several police losses, Captain Jackson removes Stewart from the drug case. Later, she and the other police captain question and deal with a Hispanic prostitute by the name of Maria. She tells Vickie and the captain several of her friends raped her. But the police captain doesn't believe Maria and objectifies her. He interferes with Maria's right for filing charges against the rapists. Maria and Vickie enter the latter's late 1980s Pontiac Grand Prix two-door coupe. Vickie uses her nightstick beats two of the rapists with that weapon. She then enters the house and meets the fifth suspect. He (the suspect) is using cocaine. The suspect requests Vickie to drop her weapon and remove her clothes. She, instead, pulls her gun and fires it. The bullet blasts the cocaine-holding glass container, which shatters. She then orders the suspect to grab the phone and dial 9-1-1 (the emergency number in North America).
Meanwhile (at exactly the same time) Salvador gets several orders from his crime boss. The latter (the boss) orders Salvador to get back the drugs within a week. Otherwise, he (Salvador) will be killed.
Over the next few days, several people are knocked off (or killed) across the city as Salvador and his confidants look for their drugs.
Vickie goes to the local park. But then, later she gets home and finds her partner in bed with a brunette woman he met at the local bar. Vickie gets angry, pulls Al's car from the garage of the residence and blows the vehicle up. She then drives away from there.
Vicki later teaches martial arts training as self-defense tactics.
Later, a police-gangster gun conflict takes place. Several police officials are killed. That includes Vickie's new boyfriend and police partner. That same evening, Salvador and his confidants infiltrate (or head inside) the premises where the crime boss and the boss' friends are waiting. Salvador and his friends then shoot the boss and them to death.

The cut version was assigned "18" from the British Board of Film Classification (the BBFC) officials) in mid-November 1993. It was then released onto VHS. The Netherlands' movie ratings system officials rated Intent to Kill as not appropriate for audiences under age seventeen due to strong language, drug material and violence. Under the New Zealand Office of Film and Literature Classification (the OFLC), Intent to Kill was labeled "M" due to violence, drug use or material and profanity.
Hanukkah
Hanukkah is a Jewish holiday which celebrates the victory of the Maccabees over the larger Syrian army. It also celebrates a miracle that happened during this time, where just a day's supply of oil allowed the menorah (Hanukkiah or Hanukkah Menorah) in the rededicated Temple in Jerusalem to remain lit for eight days. Therefore, Jewish people celebrate Hanukkah for eight days. Hanukkah begins on the 25th day of Kislev according to the Hebrew calendar, which on the Gregorian calendar is late November or December. For example, in 2013 it started on November 27. The Hebrew word hanukkah means rededication.
