 Hammurabi was a king of Babylon who fought wars and made Babylonia into an empire by putting Assyria under a vassal (puppet) king.
Babylonia 
 Since Mesopotamia had only clay for use in building, the strong wooden supports for the houses were imported from Lebanon.
Babylonia 
 Later, Babylon was sacked by the Hittite king Musilis I, which led to the so-called 'Dark Ages' of the Bronze Age, where there is little evidence in writing.
Babylonia 
 The date of the sacking of Babylon is debated by archaeologists, who have proposed no fewer than four chronologies.
Babylonia 
 There are no natural boundaries except the rivers, and it is easy to get at the cities from north or south.
Babylonia 
 Three years later Cyrus had become king of the Achaemenid Empire (Persia), and was engaged in a campaign in northern Mesopotamia.

 A battle was fought at Opis in the month of June, where the Babylonians were defeated; and immediately afterwards Sippara surrendered to the invader.
Babylonia 
 Cyrus did not arrive until the 3rd of Marchesvan (October), Gobryas having acted for him in his absence.
Babylonia 
 Cyrus now claimed to be the legitimate successor of the ancient Babylonian kings and the avenger of their god Bel-Marduk.
Babylonia 
 The invasion of Babylonia by Cyrus was doubtless helped by the presence of foreign forced exiles like the Jews, who had been planted in the midst of the country.
Babylonia 
 One of the first acts of Cyrus was to allow these exiles to return to their own homes, carrying with them the images of their god and their sacred vessels.
Babylonia 
 The permission to do so was embodied in a proclamation, whereby the conqueror endeavored to justify his claim to the Babylonian throne.

Karma 
 According to the theory of Karma, what happens to a person, happens because they caused it with their actions.
Karma 
 In Shinto (a religion often syncretised with Buddhism), Karma is interpreted as Musubi (むすび), a view of karma is recognized in Shinto as a means of enriching, empowering and life affirming.
Karma 
 All living creatures are responsible for their karma - their actions and the effects of their actions.
Karma 
 Our actions, both good and bad, come back to us in the future, helping us to learn from life’s lessons and become better people.
Karma 
 In religions that include reincarnation, karma extends through one's present life and all past and future lives as well.
Karma 
 One person throws out energy through thoughts, words and actions, and it comes back, in time, through other people.
Karma 
 Karma is the best teacher, forcing people to face the consequences of their own actions and thus improve and refine their behavior, or suffer if they do not.
Karma 
 If you know that you are not the doer and are aware of who the true doer is, 'I am not the doer' and 'who is the doer' then the action will not have any support and the karma will be shed.
Karma 
 But were he to think destructive, unproductive thoughts, he would soon not be able to accomplish any kind of positive task even if he desired to do so.”
Karma 
 The law of karma puts man at the center of responsibility for everything he does and everything that is done to him.
Karma 
 Just as God created gravity to bring order to the physical world, He created karma as a divine system of justice that is self-governing and infinitely fair.
Karma 
 Other Hindus, such as the Mimamsakas, reject such notions and see karma as acting independently, considering the natural laws of causation sufficient to explain the effects of karma.
Karma 
 Some interpretations of the Bhagavad Gita suggest an intermediate view, that karma is a law of cause and effect yet God can mitigate karma for His devotees.
Karma 
 It is said in Bhagavad Gita that only the karma that is done with a sense of doership and with attachment to the karma could cause good or bad reactions.
Karma 
 Karma that is done with an attitude of duty and without attachment to the results will not create any effect and will move one closer to God.
Karma 
 Another view holds that a Satguru, acting on God's behalf, can mitigate or work out some of the karma of the disciple.

 It was used for the first time in the Spanish Civil War between July 1936 and April 1939, but it became known as "Molotov cocktails" only during the Second World War.
Molotov cocktail 
 The mouth of the bottle is closed with a cork or other type of tight sealing made of rubber, glass, or plastic, and a cloth rag is fixed securely around the mouth.
Molotov cocktail 
 The weapon is used by first soaking the rag in a flammable liquid immediately before using it, lighting the rag, and throwing the bottle at the target.
Molotov cocktail 
 The bottle breaks when it lands, spilling the flammable liquid over the target, which is then ignited by the burning rag.
Molotov cocktail 
 Napalm was originally made by combining flammable naphthalene and petrol with a thickening agent palmitic acid.

Molotov cocktail 
 They were frequently used against Soviet tanks with great efficiency in the Hungarian Revolution of 1956.
Molotov cocktail 
 The weapon has been used against tanks effectively because of the conformation of parts of tanks, particularly around the undersides and fuel tank "entrances".
Molotov cocktail 
 A Molotov cocktail could blow up the fuel tank, destroying the machine, particularly for older (before 1940) tank models.
Molotov cocktail 
 This is because diesel has a high flashpoint of 64 °C – making it more difficult to ignite compared to petrol.
Molotov cocktail 
 Some Soviet tanks actually had an entry to the gas tank on the side of the vehicle, which could be opened by combatants in close quarters, letting out the highly flammable liquid and making destruction of the tank even easier.
Molotov cocktail 
 Petrol bombs were widely used throughout the Troubles in Northern Ireland in riot situations, directed towards the RUC or the British Army.
Molotov cocktail 
 As well as occasional situations where they continue to be used against the PSNI and army, they are frequently used in sectarian attacks on homes and businesses by both communities.

Flammability 
 People sometimes get confused and think that inflammable means "not flammable" because the prefix in is often used to mean not.
Flammability 
 Since many people do not know that inflammable means "burns easily", flammable is used more often in public places as a warning.
Cocktail 
 Since such spirits do not have much taste of their own (at around 40% alcohol), other ingredients are added.
Cocktail 
 Because all the ingredients give their flavor to the finished drink, a cocktail is only as good as the worst ingredient.
Cocktail 
 There are many variations on a martini, which include a Gibson (martini with an onion instead of an olive), a Bronx (Martini plus orange juice), and an Appletini (made with apple liqueur instead of vermouth)

Sneeze 
 A sneeze is a reaction in the body that suddenly presses air out of lungs so it flows quickly out through the mouth and nose.
Sneeze 
 Sneezing often happens after breathing dust or other small things that irritate the membranes in the nose.
Sneeze 
 The function of sneezing is to clean the space in the nose by removing the mucus and irritating things.
Sneeze 
 A sneeze consists of a deep inward breath that fills the lungs, a closing or partial closing of the throat, and a sudden increase in pressure in the lungs that forces air out.
Sneeze 
 This increase in pressure is a result of muscles near the lungs that contract (tighten and shorten).
Sneeze 
 Sneezing never happens during sleep because reflex signals do not pass to the part of the brain that causes muscles to move.
Sneeze 
 To keep this from happening as much, is important to block the sneezed air with something like cloth or tissue to catch the drops.
Sneeze 
 He said a blessing might stop people from getting the bubonic plague which was killing people in Rome at the time.
Sneeze 
 Some involuntary ways that people move air in or out of the lungs are: to sneeze, laugh, cough, hiccup, or yawn.
Puma 
 Pumas (Puma concolor), also called cougars, mountain lions or brown panthers, are large wild cats that live in the western half of North America, along with Florida, and most of Central and South America.
Puma 
 Although pumas are very large and some are larger than humans, the puma is classified as a small cat.
Puma 
 That means that, in scientific terms, the puma is more closely related to the domestic cat than they are to lions.
Puma 
 They can also eat mice, beavers, coyotes, bobcats, birds, porcupines, cattle, goats, fish and bear cubs.
Puma 
 Pumas stalk their prey, which means they walk slowly and quietly, they hide and then when close, they jump or run fast to catch their prey by surprise.
Puma 
 Cougars used to be found all in eastern North America, but they were hunted to extinction there by the beginning of the 1900s.
Puma 
 Also, recent sightings of cougars have been reported from Michigan, New Brunswick, southern Indiana, Kentucky, and Vermont.
Puma 
 For now, the only confirmed, population of cougars east of the Mississippi River is in Florida, where a subspecies of the cougar called the Florida Panther lives.
Armour 
 Armour has always been made from the strongest materials available at the time, but weight has always been a problem.
Armour 
 Some modern armour, like bullet-proof vests, are made from plastics that do not stretch or break, such as Kevlar.
Armour 
 Armour put on vehicles is usually made of metal and can include one layer over another with open spaces in between (spaced armour) or multiple layers of metal; ceramics (baked clay), and other materials.
Armour 
 Another type of armour uses blocks of explosive that explode when another explosion goes off near it.
Armour 
 Vehicle armor is often angled to increase the amount of armour that must be shot through to get inside and to make the shot bounce off rather than piercing the armour.
Armour 
 Sometimes armour is put in non-military vehicles, such as limousines used by leaders of a country or by anyone who thinks they might be attacked, e.g. film stars or presidents of major companies.
Armour 
 In the past, armour has also been used in wars to protect animals such as dogs, elephants, and horses.
Armour 
 Many sports involve violent physical contact and may be highly dangerous if the players are unprotected.
North Star Computers 
 Before they started making their first computer, the North Star Horizon, they made floppy disk drives for S-100 bus computers.
North Star Computers 
 Their second computer, called the North Star Advantage, ran CP/M, and had the keyboard and monitor built-in.
North Star Computers 
 When the IBM PC came out, North Star made an MS-DOS compatible processor card that could be added to the Advantage.
North Star Computers 
 Because their products in the early 1980s were only MS-DOS compatible, not fully PC compatible, they never sold very many, and the company went out of business.
Mario Bros. 
 In the game, Mario and/or Luigi must defeat enemies by jumping on them from below and then kicking them, when they are knocked down.

Pipe organ 
 They are usually found in places for Christian worship such as churches and cathedrals, although they may also be found in places like town halls and concert halls or even large private houses.
Pipe organ 
 Organs in large churches, cathedrals or halls are very large instruments indeed, and are built especially for the building they are in.
Pipe organ 
 No two organs are ever quite the same, and they vary greatly from one country to another and one historical period to another.
Pipe organ 
 Every organ must have pipes, something to blow the air and a way of controlling which pipes are played.
Pipe organ 
 They can be made of different types of metal, but the most common type is an alloy (or mixture of metals) of tin and lead called "spotted metal" because it has round shiny spots on it.
Pipe organ 
 This alloy makes pipes sound good as the harder tin provides clarity and definition while the softer lead produces tonal warmth.
Pipe organ 
 The wooden pipes have four flat sides and make a sound different from that of the "spotted metal" pipes.
Pipe organ 
 They are not usually seen; they are neatly lined up behind the large metal pipes at the front of the organ which are sometimes painted with colours and patterns.
Pipe organ 
 Each pipe has its own special sound which depends on the material it is made from (whether it is wood or brass or spotted metal) and on the shape of the pipe.
Pipe organ 
 The pipes are arranged in "ranks" so that all the pipes of the same shape and material can be controlled to play a tune together, without all the others.
Pipe organ 
 The old-fashioned way is to have an enormous set of "bellows" (see the picture) which are pumped up and down by a person using a large handle.
Pipe organ 
 For this reason, most organs nowadays have an electric motor and a large fan which fills the wind chest.
Pipe organ 
 A small organ may have just one keyboard, but many organs have two keyboards and a very big one may even have five.
Pipe organ 
 The manuals are arranged on the organ "console", and the organist sits on a bench in front of the console to play.
Pipe organ 
 The organist can choose whether to play loud pipes or soft pipes, flute-sounding pipes or brassy pipes, sweet pipes or harsh-sounding pipes.
Pipe organ 
 Some pipes, usually the biggest decorated pipes at the very front of the organ, are used only for the grandest music.
Pipe organ 
 When the organist presses the keys of the organ, the sound comes from the air blowing through the pipes.
Pipe organ 
 This is because a valve (an opening with a one-way door) opens up to let the air into the pipe, and closes again when the organist stops pressing that key.
Pipe organ 
 The trackers are thin wooden rods and wires which move backwards and forwards, opening and shutting all the valves.
Pipe organ 
 A tracker action organ has to have the console right near the organ, usually under the big front pipes.
