Siyum
A siyum (Hebrew: סִיּוּם, romanized: siyyum, lit. 'completion') is the completion of any established unit of Torah study in Judaism. The most common units are a single volume of the Talmud, or of Mishnah, but other units of learning may lead to a siyyum.

The typical structure of a siyyum includes a conclusion of the study, reading of the Hadran text, kaddish, and a celebratory meal.

The custom to have a siyyum is first mentioned in the Talmud: "Abaye said: grant me my reward, for when I see a young Torah scholar who has completed a tractate, I make a celebration for the rabbis."

Hadran (Talmud)
Hadran (Imperial Aramaic: הַדְרָן, lit. 'we returned') is a short prayer recited upon the completion of study of a tractate of the Talmud or a Seder of Mishnah.

Murid
In Sufism, a murīd (Arabic مُرِيد 'one who seeks') is a novice committed to spiritual enlightenment by sulūk (traversing a path) under a spiritual guide, who may take the title murshid, pir or shaykh. A sālik or Sufi follower only becomes a murīd when he makes a pledge (bayʿah) to a murshid. The equivalent Persian term is shāgird.

The initiation process of a murīd is known as ʿahd (Arabic: عَهْد) or bai'ath. Before initiation, a murīd is instructed by his guide, who must first accept the initiate as his disciple. Throughout the instruction period, the murīd typically experiences waridates like visions and dreams during personal spiritual awrads and exercises. These visions are interpreted by the murshid. A common practice among the early Sufi orders was to grant a khirqa or a robe to the murīd upon the initiation or after he had progressed through a series of increasingly difficult and significant tasks on the path of mystical development until attaining wāṣil stage.

Khirqa
The khirqa is the initiatory cloak of the Sufi chain of spirituality, with which esoteric knowledge and barakah is passed from the Murshid or the Shaikh to the aspirant murid. The khirqa initiates an aspirant into the silsilah, the chain or lineage of sheikhs that goes back to the Islamic prophet Muhammad. This chain serves as the channel through which barakah flows from the source of spiritual revelation to the being of the initiate.

The Luck of Roaring Camp
"The Luck of Roaring Camp" is a short story by American author Bret Harte. It was first published in the August 1868 issue of the Overland Monthly and helped push Harte to international prominence.

The story is about the birth of a baby boy in a 19th-century gold prospecting camp. The boy's mother, Cherokee Sal, dies in childbirth, so the men of Roaring Camp must raise the boy themselves. Believing the child to be a good luck charm, the miners christen him Thomas Luck. Afterward, they decide to refine their behavior and refrain from gambling and fighting.

Roaring Camp was a real place. It was a gold mining settlement on the Mokelumne River in Amador County, California. It was home to forty-niners seeking gold in and around the river; it is now a privately owned tourist attraction. The story's flood theme may have been inspired by California's Great Flood of 1862, which Harte witnessed.

Ctenopteris
Ctenopteris is a defunct genus of ferns in the family Polypodiaceae. The name is derived from two Greek words: ktenos, "comb", and pteris, "fern".

The name "Ctenopteris" can no longer be used because its type species, Ctenopteris venulosa has been transferred to Prosaptia. Because Ctenopteris is polyphyletic, some of its species were not transferred to Prosaptia with the type species. For these, the name Ctenopteris was used provisionally, pending their reassignment to other genera.

Edwin Bingham Copeland wrote extensively on Ctenopteris in the 1940s and 1950s. As he defined it, the genus was broadly distributed in the Southern Hemisphere including Australia, New Zealand, southern Asia and southern Africa.
