The Blessed Virgin Mary was said to be beautiful, standing a few feet above the ground.
She had a crown on her head.
The crown was golden, sparkling, and glittering.
She was described as "in prayer", with her eyes raised to heaven.
Saint Joseph, also wearing a white robe, stood on the Virgin's right hand.
Behind the figures, to the left of Saint John was a plain altar.
On the altar was a cross and a lamb, with angels around.
The lamb is the symbol of Jesus.

The prime number theorem is a theorem from number theory.
Prime numbers are not distributed evenly across the number range.
The theorem formalizes the idea that the probability of hitting a prime number between 1 and a given number becomes smaller, as numbers grow.
This probability is about n/ln(n), where ln(n) is the natural logarithm function.
This means that the probability of hitting a prime number with 2n digits is about half as likely than with n digits.
For example, among the positive integers of at most 1000 digits, about one in 2300 is prime (ln 101000 ≈ 2302.6), whereas among positive integers of at most 2000 digits, about one in 4600 is prime (ln 102000 ≈ 4605.2).
In other words, the average gap between consecutive prime numbers among the first N integers is roughly ln(N).
Fifteen-year old Carl Friedrich Gauss suspected that there was a link between prime numbers and logarithms in 1793.
Adrien-Marie Legendre also suspected such a link in 1798.
Jacques Hadamard and Charles-Jean de La Vallée Poussin proved the prime number theorem in 1896, over a century after Gauss.

He has been called a pioneer of modern heart transplantation.
He also helped with the development of an artificial heart valve.
He worked at St Vincent's Hospital with his team who had high success rates of heart transplants.
Chang was born in Shanghai to Australian-born Chinese parents.
He first grew up in Hong Kong before moving to Sydney, New South Wales, in 1951.
He studied and trained at the University of Sydney as well as in the United Kingdom and the United States.
He was made a Companion of the Order of Australia in 1986.
He was married to English-born Ann Simmons.
Chang was murdered on 4 July 1991 in Mosman, Sydney.
He was shot in the head twice for turning down the efforts of extortion by two men.
The men, Malaysians Chew Seng "Ah Sung" Liew and Choon Tee "Phillip" Lim, first ran their vehicle into Chang's car, making him pull over.
After arguing, Chang was shot dead by Liew.
The men both later spent time in jail.

Ganesha Chaturthi is the 10 day-long Hindu festival held on the birthday of the Lord Ganesha.
It is celebrated all over India.
The festival is held on shukla chaturthi in the Hindu month of Bhaadrapada and ends on Anant chaturdashi.
For example in 2020 it will be celebrated on August 22th.
It is celebrated widely in Maharashtra.
On this occasion people make special "modaks" which are loved by Lord Ganesha.
Lalbaug is a place that every year celebrates Ganesh Chaturthi on a large scale.
There are Ganesha's form like Bal Ganesh, Lalbaugchya Raja, Siddhivinayak Maharaj, and Dhagru Sheth.
The most popular ones are: Shreemant Dagdusheth Halwai Ganpati Mandir and Lalbaugcha Raja.
Ganesh Chaturthi is also called Vinayaka Chaturthi, it is a pure Hindu festival, during this festival people pray Lord Ganesha with great devotion.
In this occasion people keep their clay idols privately in their homes, or publicly on big pandals (or temporary stages or altars).
It starts with Vedic hymns, prayers, vrata and hindu texts such as Ganesha Upanishad.
Offerings of prasada after the prayer and distributing amongst the community people, prasad include sweets, modaka (it is believed to be the favourite sweet of ganesha).
This festival starts on the fourth day of Hindu luni-solar calendar month Bhadrapada, which normally falls in the month of August or September.
The Ganesha chaturthi ends on the tenth day.
Pranapratistha - It involves the positioning of the idol or deity of Lord Ganesha into the pandals.
This calls for a big celebration.
People pray and sing various folk songs while bringing the deity to the Pandals.
They play with colours as well.
Shodasopachara - It involves praying to the lord and offering him puja.
Uttarpuja.
It involves a ceremony after which the deity can be moved from his position.
After this ritual, the idol is moved among the public so that they can take his blessings.
Ganpati Visarjan.
At this stage, the idol is immersed into the river, sea or ocean.
He is believed to go back to Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati after the immersion.
The cat righting reflex is a cat's natural ability to turn itself around as it falls so it will land on its feet.
This righting reflex starts to happen at 3–4 weeks of age.
The cat has entirely learned how to do this by 6–7 weeks.
Cats are able to do this because they have a flexible backbone and a clavicle that does not move.
The minimum height needed for this to happen safely in most cats is about 12 inches.
Cats without a tail can also do this.
This is because a cat mostly moves its hind legs and does not use much angular momentum to set itself up for landing.
So a tail is not really needed for this skill.
Using this righting reflex, cats can often land without injury.
But, this is not always true, since cats can still break bones or die from extreme  falls.
In a 1987 study, written in the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 132 cats were looked at after having fallen from buildings.
The injuries per cat were more, depending on the height fallen; up to seven stories high.
Above seven stories, the injuries were less.
The study authors think that after falling five stories, the cats reached terminal velocity.
At that time, the cats relaxed and spread their bodies to increase drag.
How the cat does it
First, cats decide which is up or down, by looking to see or by using senses in the inner ear.
Then, cats manage to twist themselves to face downward, without ever changing their angular momentum.
They do this in these steps:
Bend in the middle so that the front half of their body turns in the opposite direction than the rear half.
Tuck their front legs in to reduce the moment of inertia of the front half of their body.
Stretch out their rear legs to increase the moment of inertia of the rear half of their body.
This happens so that they can turn their front half very far (as much as 90°), while the rear half is turning opposite very much less (as little as 10°).
Extend their front legs and tuck their rear legs; so they can turn their rear half quite far, while their front half turns opposite quite a bit less.
Besides this righting reflex, cats have body features that help keep them safe in a fall.
Their small size, light bones, and thick fur decrease their terminal velocity.
Also, once righted they may also spread out their body to increase drag and slow how fast they are falling.
They also relax as they fall, which protects them some when they land.
Why cats land on their feet

The miracle of the falling cat
How do cats always land on their feet?

She was Miss America 2007.
Before that, she was Miss Oklahoma 2006.
Cats always land on their feet.
Buttered toast always lands buttered side down.
In reality
In reality, cats can turn themselves right side up in mid-air if they should fall upside-down.
This is named the cat righting reflex.
This reflex lets them land on their feet if dropped from high enough up (about ).
Toast, not being alive, does not have the ability to turn itself over.
Nor does it want to, since it cannot think.
Toast usually lands on the floor butter-side-down.
This is because of how it is dropped from a table.
As the toast falls from the table, it rotates or turns.
Using the average speed of rotation for a slice of toast as it falls from the table and the usual height of a table, a slice of toast that began butter-side-up on the table will land butter-side-down on the floor 81% of the time.
This is because the buttered side is heavier.
When an object has a heavy and light side, in most cases it will fall heavy side first.
Domestic cats usually weigh between .
A regular slice of bread weighs only one ounce and a pat of butter about one fourth ounce.
So attaching a very small piece of toast with butter to a much larger cat would hardly have any effect on how the cat would move.

A treadmill is a device for walking or running, while staying in the same place.
Before there was steam power, such treadmills were used to power machines.
That way,  the work of animals or people could be used in the machines.
Such treadmills were also used as a form of punishment in prisons.
The Royal Chapel of Dreux () is the traditional resting place for members of the royal House of Orléans.
It is located in the town of Dreux in France.

His education was carried out by Madame de Genlis who was later his fathers mistress.
It was her that instilled a fairly liberal attitude within the young prince.
When Louis Philippe's grandfather died in 1785, his father succeeded him as Duke of Orléans and Louis Philippe succeeded his father as Duke of Chartres.
His parents had a strained marriage the Duke was famous for his many extramarital affairs and his wife just quietly accepted his infidelity.
She was a notoriously religious woman who relished watching her children grow up.

The Stanley Motor Carriage Company was an American manufacturer of steam-engine cars.
The company was founded in 1898 and incorporated in 1901.
The cars made by the company were called Stanley Steamers.
They were produced from 1896 to 1924.
In the early 1900s steam was used to power locomotives, steamships, even sewing machines.
It seemed natural that steam could power cars.
Of all the steam driven cars made in the early 20th century, the Stanley Steamer was the best-known and most popular.
Today Stanley Steamers are rare automobiles and hard to find outside of museums and a few car collections.
Twins Francis E. Stanley and Freelan O. Stanley were the co-inventors of the Stanley Steamer automobile.
Freelan was a teacher and high school principal.
Francis was also a teacher, but left teaching in 1874 to become a photographer.
In 1885 they both left their jobs and started a company to make photographic plates for photographers.
they sold their shop four years later when they moved to Watertown, Massachusetts.
They started another photographic plate business, but sold it to Eastman Kodak in 1904.
The brothers had become interested in making cars and wanted to do that full time.
Building steam cars
Many inventors were working on making cars during this time.
The Stanley brothers built their first two cars as a hobby.
In 1898 they brought their cars to the first Auto show in the US held in Boston.
Cars from the US and Europe were on exhibition.
There was also an outdoor competition.
Their Stanley Steamers were faster and could climb hills much better than other cars.
No gasoline engined car could climb the 15% grade.
A Whitney steam car nearly climbed the 20% grade.
The Stanley steamer easily climbed the 30% grade.
With the money from the sale of their company to Eastman Kodak, they began making steam cars.
In 1899, they produced and sold over 200 cars, more than any other U.S. maker.
In 1899, Freelan and his wife Flora drove one of these cars to the top of Mount Washington in New Hampshire, the highest peak in the northeastern United States.
The ascent took more than two hours and was notable as being the first time a car had climbed the  long Mount Washington Carriage Road; the descent was accomplished by putting the engine in low gear and using the car's brakes.
The twins later sold the rights to this early design to Locomobile, and in 1902 they formed the Stanley Motor Carriage Company.
Stanley licensed their designs to several other motor car companies.
The White Motor Company was one who used the Stanley design and continued to produce steam cars until 1912.
Stanley was the last manufacturer of steam powered cars.
As the internal combustion engine designs improved, steam and electric cars lost much of their popularity.
The numbers of cars sold went down to less than 600 a year in 1918.
That year the Stanley brothers sold the company to Prescott Warren, a Chicago businessman.
Francis  Stanley died in an automobile accident later the same year (1918).
His brother Freelan opened a hotel in Colorado called The Stanley Hotel.
He lived to be 91 years old.
Stanley Steamers were made until 1924.
Early Stanley cars had bodies made of wood.
The bodies were attached to steel frames by leaf springs.
Later bodies were made of aluminum.
A Kerosene burner heated a drum-shaped boiler.
The boiler stored steam.
The driver controlled the steam going to the engine by a throttle.
There was no need for a transmission.
Starting a Stanley in the morning would wake everyone who lived nearby.
It sounded like a steam locomotive, hissing and chugging.
It was very hard to steal a Stanley Steamer.
It took 20 minutes to gather enough steam before it could move.
Once it was moving it seemed to have unlimited power.
An early Stanley Steamer was capable of 75 miles per hour.
In 1906 a Stanley Steamer broke the land speed record at 127 miles per hour in Florida.
To operate a Stanley Steamer, the driver had to watch a number of gauges.
There were 13 handles, pumps and valves to adjust.
They carried only a small amount of water due to its weight.
The car could only go about 40 miles before it had to add water.
The kerosene burner was known to cause fires.
The easier to operate gasoline powered internal combustion engine caused the steam car to become obsolete.
