During the 4th day of the war Dayan changed his attitude on Egypt compared to his attitude before the war, He jokingly recommended the Israeli government to accept Egyptian fire (He thought Egypt was never going to go to war after the Six Day War because it was too weak) instead of accepting Egyptian demands to retreat from Sinai. On the fourth day of the war he said in a statement "This is a very difficult war, with strong and very bitter confrontations of the armored corps and air force. This war is heavy in days and heavy in blood." in another statement by Former Israeli MP Uri Avneri he said " Something happened to Dayan during the war, On the third or fourth day of the war, Dayan walked amongst the army commanders and among politicians in Tel Aviv saying this was the destruction of the Third Temple. Meaning that this was the end of Israel"
The war in Israel left allegedly 10-15% of the population in shock and constant anxiety due to the destruction of the myth of "Israeli invincibility" and suffering huge losses in the war. It ended the careers of Moshe Dayan and Golda Meir (The former president of Israel from 1969-1974)
For Egypt, Egyptian successes during the war healed the psychological trauma of their defeat in the Six-Day War, allowing them to negotiate with the Israelis as equals. Due to the first 11 days of the war, Egypt destroyed the myth of "Israeli invincibility" and greatly boosted the Egyptian army's image in Egypt after the humiliation during the Six Day War in 1967.
The war in Egypt was seen as a great war that took the shame of 1967 off of Egypt even thought after the first 11 days of the war Egypt suffered heavy military defeats in some battles, It successfully saw all Egyptian objectives that were set before the war met at the end, Egypt successfully crossed the Suez Canal and Destroyed the Myth of the Israeli army "invincibility" and successfully held a portion of Sinai that helped them negotiate the return of all of the Sinai peninsula later and defeated Israel at the last major battle of the war () and repelled back Israeli invasion of the city with Police forces and Civilians defending the city with light weapons against Israeli tanks with one armored brigade and one infantry battalion.
The commanders of the Second and Third Armies, Generals Khalil and Wasel, were also dismissed from the army. The commander of the Egyptian Second Army at the start of the war, General Mamoun, suffered a heart attack, or, alternatively, a breakdown, after the Egyptian defeat during the October 14 Sinai tank battle, and was replaced by General Khalil.
Papaveraceae
Papaveraceae is a family of flowering plants. The family has been universally recognized by taxonomists, and is also known as the "poppy family". Most are herbaceous plants, but a few are shrubs and small trees.
Myristicaceae
Myristicaceae is the botanical name for a family of flowering plants, mostly from Africa, Asia, Pacific islands, and the Americas. The family has been recognised by most taxonomists, and it is sometimes called the "nutmeg family", after its most famous member, the nutmeg ("Myristica fragrans"). It has about 21 genera and 520 species. They are mostly trees and shrubs.
Dirac delta function
The Dirac delta function, often written as formula_1, is a made-up concept by mathematician Paul Dirac. It is a really pointy and skinny function that pokes out a point along a wave. Loosely speaking, it has the value of zero everywhere except at formula_2, in such a way that the area between the function and the "x"-axis adds up to 1. The delta function is often used in sampling theory, where its pointiness is useful for getting clean samples.
The integral of the Dirac delta function is the Heaviside function. Thus Dirac delta function can be view as the derivative of Heaviside function.
Newton's method
Newton's method provides a way for finding the real zeros of a function. This algorithm is sometimes called the Newton–Raphson method, named after Sir Isaac Newton and Joseph Raphson.
The method uses the derivative of the function in order to find its roots. An initial "guess value" for the location of the zero must be made. From this value, a new guess is calculated by this formula:
formula_1
Here x is the initial guess and x is the next guess. The function f (whose zero is being solved for) has the derivative f'.
By repeatedly applying this formula to the generated guesses (that is by setting the value of x to the formula's output and recomputing), the value of the guesses will approach a zero of the function.
Newton's method can be explained graphically by looking at intersections of tangent lines with the x-axis. First, a line tangent to the f at x is calculated. Next, the intersection between this tangent line and the x-axis is found. Finally, the x-position of this intersection is recorded as the next guess, x.
Newton's method can find a solution quickly if the guess value begins sufficiently near the desired root. However, when the initial guess value is not close, and depending on the function, Newton's method may find the answer slowly or not at all.
Asimo
Asimo was a robot that was built by Honda. The current models could walk, run, and go up and down stairs. Engineers planned to add laser capabilities. Its height was 130 centimeters (4 feet 3 inches) and weight 54 kilograms (119 pounds). Asimo was just like an astronaut wearing a backpack and could walk or run on two feet.
ASIMO was created at Honda's Research & Development "Wako Fundamental Technical Research Center" in Japan. Honda will not confirm how much it costs.
ASIMO is an acronym. ASIMO stands for "Advanced Step in Innovative MObility". It should be pronounced “ah she moh” to match the original Japanese pronunciation.
As of February 2009, there are over 100 ASIMO units in existence.
ASIMO has made lots of public appearances.
Fahrenheit 451
Fahrenheit 451 is an American dystopian fiction novel. It was written by Ray Bradbury and first published in 1953.
The novel is about a future American society in which people are hedonistic (meaning they live only for pleasure), and reading is against the law because it makes them think. The main character, Guy Montag, has a job as a "fireman" (which, in this future, means "book burner"). The number "451" refers to the temperature (in Fahrenheit) at which the books burn when the "firemen" burn them "for the good of humanity". Written in the early years of the Cold War, the novel is a critique of what Bradbury saw as an increasingly dysfunctional American society.
The idea began with Bradbury's short story "Bright Phoenix," written in 1947 but first published in the "Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction" in 1963. The original short story was reworked into the novella, "The Fireman", and published in the February 1951 issue of "Galaxy Science Fiction". The novel was also serialized in the March, April, and May 1954 issues of "Playboy" magazine. Bradbury wrote the entire novel on a pay typewriter in the basement of UCLA's Powell library. His original idea in writing "Fahrenheit 451" was to show his great love for books and libraries. He has often referred to Montag as an allusion to himself.
Over the years, the novel has been subject to various interpretations, primarily focusing on the historical role of book burning in suppressing dissenting ideas. Bradbury has said that the novel is not about censorship; he says that "Fahrenheit 451" is a story about how television destroys interest in reading literature, which leads to people thinking that knowledge is made up of "factoids", partial information without context, such as Napoleon's birth date alone, without an indication of who he was.
A movie version of the novel was released in 1966, and at least two BBC Radio 4 dramatizations have also been aired, both of which follow the book very closely.
