216 Kleopatra

216 Kleopatra is a Main belt asteroid found by Johann Palisa on April 10, 1880 in Pola. It is named after Cleopatra, the Queen of Egypt.
Kleopatra is an unusual object. Its odd shape was revealed by adaptive optics on the ESO 3.6m telescope at La Silla. By bouncing radar signals off the asteroid, a team of astronomers at the Arecibo radio telescope in Puerto Rico were able to develop a more detailed computer model of its shape, which confirmed the dog-bone like shape. A favored explanation is that Kleopatra is a contact binary: two similarly-sized asteroids that have hit and stuck together instead of breaking apart.
Kleopatra is a fairly big asteroid, measuring 217 x 94 x 81 km. It is believed to be a loosely packed metallic object, based on its radar albedo.

Hyeokgeose

Hyeokgeose () was the first king of Silla (sinra), a the kingdom of ancient south-west Korea, from B.C. 57 to B.C. 935.
Mythology
Birth of Hyeokgeose
In B.C. 69, six village chiefs gathered with their children and announced that "We have been living disorderly. It because we do not have a Great Chief on our villages. So, let's set someone on the throne who is a virtuous person and found a nation." At that time, they found the strange light looked like thunderbolt on Yang-san (yangsan) .
When they climbed the mountain to observe the light, The light went up to the sky at Najung (nanjeong), the foot of Yang-san. And They found a white horse that was bowing. The horse flew up to the sky after it howled a long time. As soon as it left, they looked through the place and they found a big purple egg. The people broke the egg, and they reached out one boy who looked nice and beautiful. When people washed him at Dongchun (dongceon), his body shines and birds and beasts came to dance and sing. Also the sky and the earth shook and the sun and the moon became clear. After then, people named him King Hyeokgeose, meaning bright ruler.
Birth of Queen
When the son of the sky came down to the earth, he suggested that Hyeokgeose has to find good wife for him. At that time, Gyeryong (gyeryong), which is a dragon looked like rooster, came down from the sky to Alyeong-jung (alyeongjeong) in Sarang-ri (saryangri) and bore a beautiful girl who had chicken beak under the dragon's left rib. When people moved and washed her at Bookchun (bugceon) in Walsung (weolseong), the beak chipped off. So the people called the place Balchun (balceon) and named her Alyeong.
Marriage
The people built up the palace at the foot of South mountain and brought up two babies, who are Hyeokgeose and his wife to be a prince and princess.
Death
After 61 years from he start to rule the country, he flew up to heaven. After seven days, the ashes of his body fell to the earth and scattered, and the soul of his queen ascended to join him in paradise. All the people cried the ashes of their great king and queen. So they tried to bury them in the same tomb, but a big snake showed up and protected the ashes. So the royal remains of each were divided into five parts and interred in pairs in the Northern Mausoleum, within the precincts of a temple called Tamom-sa (dameomsa). The people called these the Five Mausoleums, or Sa-ning (Tomb of the Snake;saneung). The Crown Prince succeeded to the throne and was given the title Namhae-wang.
Reign
The prince was crowned king with Princess Alyeong. The country at that time was called Sorabol (seorabeol) in native language. The name Silla was not used until a later time. during the reign of Kaerim-guk (gyerimgug). The Great Chief of the Park family founded the kingdom of Silla and ruled over it for sixty-two years
Origin of Family Name, Park
Since the prince had been born from an egg in the shape of the gourd called "park" in the native tongue, they gave him the family name Park (bag). The princess was named Alyeong (alyeong) after the well where she was born.

Phoenician and Greek people colonized the island in the 8th Century BC and sometimes fought wars there. Carthage controlled most of the island until Ancient Rome conquered it. In later centuries, Saracens (who significantly impacted the Island genetically and culturally) fought against the Byzantine Greeks, and Normans ruled it for a few centuries. After the revolts of Sicilian Vespers, the crown of Aragon and Spain took over the Island. Later, Garibaldi in the Risorgimento conquered it and brought it into the Kingdom of Italy.

History of Freemasonry

The history of Freemasonry takes in the origins, evolution and showing clear events of the brother-like organization experienced as Freemasonry. It covers three phases. firstly, the emergence of "joined in a cause lodges of operative" during the Middle ages, then the admission of Lay members as "accepted" or "speculative" stone-workers, and finally the evolution of only speculative lodges, and the emergence of Grand lodges to govern them. The first Grand Lodge was created in London in 1717. The difficulties facing writers of history are the lack of written material, even down to the 19th century, and the way knowledge was produced by stone-workers and non-masons from the earliest years.
Freemasonry's long history includes its early development from put in an orderly way bodies of operative stonemasons to the current-day system of speculative lodges joined in a cause around regional or national "Grand Lodges".

Melbourne Cup

The Melbourne Cup is Australia's major horse race. It happens once a year. People say it is The race that stops a nation, it is for horses three-years-old and over, and it is 3200 metres long. The event has been held on the first Tuesday in November since 1861 (except on one year during the Second World War) by the Victoria Racing Club, on the Flemington Racecourse in Melbourne. Many people say it is the most important "two-mile" horse race in the world.
The race was first held over two miles, about 3,218 metres, but after Australia changed to the metric system in 1972 it was changed to 3,200 metres. This made it 61 ft 6in shorter, and Rain Lover's 1968 race record of 3min.19.1sec was changed to 3min.17.9sec. Now, the record holder is the 1990 winner Kingston Rule with a time of 3min 16.3sec.
The race starts at 3.00pm Melbourne (AEST) time.
Attendance
The event is one of the most popular events to watch in Australia. Over 110,000 people attend the race. Some people dress in traditional formal raceday clothing. Other people dress in different kinds of strange and amusing costumes,
In 2005 a total of 383,784 race fans went to the Melbourne Cup Carnival annual event
History
Seventeen horses raced in the first Melbourne Cup in 1861. The prize was a gold watch and 170 pounds cash. Some people say Archer (the winner) walked 800 km to the course from Nowra, New South Wales. However, it is possible he travelled by ship. Four thousand people watched the race.
Archer won again the next year. However, because the owner's application form arrived late the next year, Archer was unable to try for a third cup. Many owners boycotted (did not race in protest) the race, so it started with only seven horses. That is the smallest number in the history of the cup.
The winner of the Melbourne Cup last year was Rekindling, from Great Britain.
Off the track
'Fashions On The Field' is a major focus of the day. Raceday fashion sometimes draws almost as much attention as the race itself. The miniskirt received worldwide attention when model Jean Shrimpton wore one on Derby Day during Melbourne Cup week in 1965.
In Melbourne, the race day is a public holiday. In the rest of Australia most people watch the race on television and gamble. Some people bet at the TAB (the Australian betting office). Other people bet in workplace cup "sweeps". (In "sweeps" each person pays a small amount [e.g. $3] and draws a random horse. First, second, and third place then share the money.) In 2000 it was estimated that 80 percent of the adult Australian population placed a bet on the race that year.
Betting on the Melbourne Cup has become more and more popular over the years, with one time a year punters having a crack at picking the winning horse.

Diapause

Diapause is a delay in development which has evolved in response to regular periods of adverse environmental conditions.
It is a physiological state with very specific conditions. Diapause is a mechanism used as a means to survive predictable, unfavourable environmental conditions, such as temperature extremes, drought or reduced food availability. It is most often observed in arthropods, especially insects, and in the embryos of many of the oviparous species of fish in the order Cyprinodontiformes.
Not only is diapause started by specific stimuli or conditions, but once it is started, only certain other stimuli are capable of bringing the organism out of diapause. This distinguishes diapause from other forms of dormancy such as hibernation.
Activity levels of diapausing stages can vary considerably among species. Diapause may occur in a completely immobile stage, such as the pupae and eggs, or it may occur in very active stages that undergo extensive migrations, such as the adult Monarch butterfly, Danaus plexippus. In cases where the insect remains active, feeding is reduced and reproductive development is slowed or halted.
