The palaestra at Olympia, Greece is an ancient structure, now in ruins.
There were many palaestra throughout Greece.
A palaestra was the place where Greek athletes trained for and practiced wrestling, the pankration, and sometimes boxing.
The palaestra at Olympia was built sometime in the third century BC.
It is north of the gymnasion.
It is square.
Its sides are each about 66 meters long.
Its door is in the northwest corner.
The lower part of the outer walls were made of stone and the upper part of brick.
Inside was a sand-covered yard open to the sky.
This yard was surrounded on all four sides with colonnades of Doric columns.
In bad weather, the athletes practiced under these colonnades.
Off these colonnades were rooms where the athletes dressed and undressed, rubbed themselves with olive oil, dusted themselves with powder or sand, and met friends.
There was a tub (1.5 meters deep) in the corner of the yard that was used for cold baths.
There were rooms for the storage of oil and equipment.
In 195556, the German Archaeological Institute partly restored the palaestra.
Complete restoration is not possible because many of the columns have been completely destroyed.

In psychology and medicine, a syndrome is when there are multiple symptoms.
These symptoms may be related.
In some cases the way in which they are related is known, in other cases it is not.
When both the relationship of symptoms and their causes are known, people generally talk about a disease.
Symptoms that occur together in similar contexts are often related, or have a common cause.
Some syndromes, such as Down syndrome have only one cause.
In the case of Down syndrome, the cause is known.
Other syndromes, such as Pakinsonian syndrome may have many causes, and finding the exact cause may be difficult.

It was a successful pre-World Wide Web online service.
The PTT (Poste, Téléphone et Télécommunication) started Minitel started in France in 1982.
From the beginning, users could buy things online that are now done on the Internet.
People could make train reservations, check stock prices, search the telephone directory, have a mail box, and chat.
In February 2009, France Telecom said the Minitel network still had 10 million monthly connections.
One-million were to the directory.
France Telecom ended the service on 30 June 2012.
Millions of terminals were free to telephone subscribers.
That meant many people and businesses had access immediately.
People who got Minitel did not get a regular paper telephone directory.
phone directory (free)
mail-order retail companies
airline or train ticket purchases
information services
message boards
Many new companies started to try to make money using the network.
This was like the later dot-com bubble.
Many of the companies failed.
Some people criticized pornographic services on Minitel because children could access them.
The government did not make rules about pornography on Minitel.
The government also made a tax on pornographic online services.
Credit card for purchases
Telephone bill for surfing time: rates depended on the sites visited
France Télécom charged Minitel users at rates of up to €1 a minute.
The rates depend on the service called.
Most services were much cheaper than the maximum.
France Télécom then paid part of the fee to the companies that operate Minitel servers.
The most popular service of the Minitel was the "Annuaire Electronique" at the phone number "11".
On 18 October 1996, access to the Phonedirectory changed to "3611".
Companies could add up to 3 lines of information to the listing.
There were also advertisements on the phone directory pages.
Minitel terminals have a text based screen, keyboard and modem.
The screen can show simple graphics.
Minitel terminals use the AZERTY keyboard, not the QWERTY keyboard.
Users could buy printers to attach to the terminals.
The Minitel modem usually dialed a special number to connect to a PAVI (Point d'Accès VIdéotexte, "videotext access point").
The PAVI sent information to the correct servers on the Transpac X.25 network.
In France the most common dial number was "36 15". "
36 17" was for more expensive services.
Minitel services names often started with this number.
So, the "36 15" number at the front of the name was like the ".com" on Internet web sites.
Minitel used a half-duplex asymmetric data rate via its modem.
It downlinked at 1200 bit/s and uplinked at 75 bit/s.  This allowed fast downloads, for the time.
The system was called '1275', but the correct name was  V.23.
This system was only for Minitel and copies of Minitel in other countries.

A positive-definite matrix is a matrix with special properties.
The definition of the term is best understood for square matrices that are symmetrical, also known as Hermitian matrices.
A square matrix filled with real numbers is positive definite if it can be multiplied by any non-zero vector and its transpose and be greater than zero.
The vector chosen must be filled with real numbers.
The matrix   is positive definite.
To prove this, we choose a vector with entries .
When we multiply the vector, its transpose, and the matrix, we get:
when the entries z0, z1 are real and at least one of them nonzero, this is positive.
This proves that the matrix  is positive-definite.
