An urn is a vase, often with a cover, with a typically narrowed neck above a rounded body and a footed pedestal.
Describing a vessel as an "urn", as opposed to a vase or other terms, generally reflects its use rather than any particular shape or origin.
The term is especially often used for funerary urns, vessels used in burials, either to hold the cremated ashes or as grave goods, but is used in many other contexts; in catering large vessels for serving tea or coffee are often called "tea-urns", even when they are metal cylinders of purely functional design.
Large sculpted vases are often called urns, whether placed outdoors, in gardens or as architectural ornaments on buildings, or kept inside.

Judith Quiney (baptised 2 February 1585 – 9 February 1662), née Shakespeare, was the younger daughter of William Shakespeare and Anne Hathaway and the fraternal twin of their only son Hamnet Shakespeare. ...
By the time of Judith Quiney's death, she had outlived her children by many years.
On the 10th February 1616 Shakespeare’s younger daughter Judith married a local man, Thomas Quiney.
At the start of 1616 her impending marriage must have been the cause of celebration in the family.
Shakespeare first saw his lawyer to draft his will in January 1616.
This is often taken to mean he was already ill, but with his daughters married or betrothed it was also a good time to ensure they would be provided for.
Things started to go wrong soon after that first session with the lawyer.
In the first drafting of the will, he is mentioned specifically with a bequest “vnto my sonne in L[aw]”.
The marriage occurred outside the usual period for marriages (as Shakespeare’s own had been).
Anne Hathaway was already pregnant.
This wasn’t the case with Judith.
Shakespeare’s marriage had been arranged by license from Worcester, but in Judith’s case no license was granted.
Marrying without going through the proper procedures was frowned on, and both Judith and Thomas were excommunicated.
None of this sounds like respectable behaviour, but worse was to come.
Thomas might well have been in a hurry to marry Judith, because after the marriage it soon came out that he had previously had a mistress, Margaret Wheeler, who was pregnant with his child.
To make matters worse, both Margaret and her baby died.
Thomas was tried by the church court and sentenced to stand in front of the congregation of Holy Trinity church clad in a white sheet, for three Sundays.
Shakespeare saw his lawyer again on 25 March.
One of the significant changes is that the reference to Thomas Quiney was struck out and Judith’s name was inserted instead.
Judith was to inherit £100, a cottage, and if she or her children were alive after three years a further £150 of which she should receive the interest, giving her and any children she might have an independent income.
She also received Shakespeare’s “broad silver gilt bole”.
Very little is known about Judith, but her life seems to have been full of disappointments.
As far as we know she received no education, and lived in Stratford all her life.
She and her twin brother Hamnet were born in 1585, but Hamnet died in August 1596.
His death must have affected the whole family profoundly, not least Judith herself.
This was the first of many sad events in her life, the next of which was the humiliation surrounding her marriage.
She can not have been unaware of the comparison with her older sister Susanna who had already made a successful marriage to a highly-respected doctor and had a daughter.
In Shakespeare’s will, it’s Susanna who inherits most of Shakespeare’s wealth including his house New Place.
Shakespeare himself died in April 1616, only a few weeks after Judith’s marriage and humiliation.
In November Judith herself had a baby son, who was christened “Shakespeare”, after her father.
The baby lived for only six months, dying in May 1617.
Infant mortality was high, and several of Shakespeare’s own siblings had died as babies.
Later, in 1618 and 1620, Judith had two more sons, Richard and Thomas.
These two boys survived childhood but died within weeks of each other in 1639, aged 19 and 21, probably of plague.
So Judith outlived all of her children, being buried on 9 February 1662 aged 77, while her husband died in 1662 or 1663.
Thomas Quiney was by profession a vintner and tobacconist, and later became a leading member of the town’s governing council, holding its highest office, Chamberlain, in 1621 and 1622.
But unlike her sister and brother-in-law who had graves in the chancel of the church, Judith and Thomas were buried in the churchyard, the site is now unknown.
The house in which Judith and Thomas Quiney lived still stands, but unlike Susannah’s house Hall’s Croft Shakespeare’s Birthplace or the site of his grand house New Place it isn’t a museum.
It used to be known as “The Cage”, and stands in the very centre of town at the junction of High Street and Bridge Street.
In its time this building has been a prison, the “Shakespeare View Store”, the town’s Tourist Information Centre and now, a shop selling Crabtree and Evelyn toiletries.
8HevXII b (originally marked LXXVTS 10b; Rahlfs 943b) is a manuscript of the Septuagint written on parchment in scroll form.
This scroll is dated between 50 B.C.E. and 50 C.E. It is a masucript containing a fragment of the Biblical Book of Zachariah 8,18-9,7.
It was found in the Judean Desert in the cave of Nahal Heber.
This fragment is also numbered 943b on the list of Septuaginta manuscripts according to Alfred Rahlfs classification.
The manuscript was published in Supplements to Vetus Testamentum, Vol.
The original designation of the scroll comes from the abbreviated name of the publication in which it was published (LXX - manuscript of the Septuaginty; Vetus Testamentum, Supplements volume X, scroll b,).

The Neil Armstrong Operations and Checkout Building (O&C) (previously known as the Manned Spacecraft Operations Building) is a factory located at Kennedy Space Center.
Its purpose is to make and test out rocket parts such as the Apollo Command/Service Module, Lunar Module, Space Shuttle Spacelab modules, and truss components for the International Space Station.

The O&C is actually a two-part building with connected overhead walkways.
The front building is where astronauts live in dormitories before launching into space.
It also has a few conference rooms, several laboratories, and a restaurant.

A dark-sky preserve (DSP) is protected area without light pollution created by humans.
These areas are used to help promote astronomy.
Different countries have different programs for making areas dark-sky preserves.
The International Dark-Sky Association (IDA) uses the word reserve instead of park, or preserve with their dark-sky preserves.
This is so that people don't confuse International Dark Sky Reserves (IDSR) and International Dark Sky Parks (IDSP).
In Canada, there is a very strict way to make areas dark-sky preserves.
This was based on the work by the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada.
The program is based on the amount of light in an area and how much skyglow there is from cities and towns that are close to it.
Canada's program is the only one in the world that makes areas dark-sky preserves.
Outside Canada, when areas are called dark-sky preserves, they are not official, and might not be a real dark or protected preserve.

The Schwarzschild metric was calculated by Karl Schwarzschild as a solution to Einstein's field equations in 1916.
Also known as Schwarzschild solution, it is an equation from general relativity in the field of astrophysics.
A metric refers to an equation which describes spacetime; in particular, a Schwarzschild metric describes the gravitational field around a Schwarzschild black hole - a non-rotating, spherical black hole with no magnetic field, and where the cosmological constant is zero.
Although a more complicated way of calculating the Schwarzschild metric can be found using Christoffel Symbols, it can also be derived using the equations for escape velocity (), time dilation (dt'), length contraction (dr'):
is the angle
d and d are the change in angles
From this equation we can take out the Schwarzschild radius (), the radius of this black hole.
Although this is most commonly used to describe a Schwarzschild black hole, the Schwarzschild radius can be calculated for any heavy object.
