History 6 Lesson 77

The story of Esther in my own words

The King Ahasuerus, or King Xerxes, had a grand banquet. Soon he becomes drunk with wine and demanded that his queen, Vashti, come out to show everyone how beautiful she was. But Vashti refused his request, the king grew so angry at her disrespect and disregard, that he had her hanged.

So the king called out for a nationwide beauty pageant to be held to find him a new beautiful queen. There was one Jewish girl named Esther, who lived with her cousin, Mordecai after he had taken her in when her parents died. Esther was a beautiful young lady, so therefore she was taken too with other young girls to the castle.

One guy was put in charge of preparing the girls to meet the king, he was called by the name Hegai. Esther’s kindness and beauty won over Hegai’s favor, so he made sure she was treated well and given special attention. Esther was careful, however, not to tell anyone her nationally as Uncle Mordecai had warned her of that and of what would happen if she did.

One night, Mordecai decided to sit by the gate, no later did he that he heard two guard’s planing about assassinating King Xerxes, so Mordecai hurried to Queen Esther and told her, so then she hurried to King Xerxes and told him what Mordecai told her. Later that night the two guards’s where hanged.

One day Haman was riding through the people, which bowed to him, come to see that Mordecai bowed not, he grew full of wrath against the Jew’s. So Haman decided to destroy all Jew’s, but he could not do it without the king’s permission, so he went unto King Xerxes saying: My lord, the Jew’s are planning against you, if it pleases you, let me destroy them, and I will pay ten thousand coins to the hands that have the charge of business it unto your treasures.

The king then took off his ring and gave it to Haman saying: The silver is given to the people also, to do thee as it seemeth good to thee. It was written according to all that Haman had commanded unto the King’s lieutenants, and to the governor’s that were over every provinces, and to the rulers of every people of every provinces according to the writing thereof, and to every people after their language; in the name of King Ahasuerus was it written, and sealed with the king’s ring.

When Mordecai heard this, he threw off his nice clothes and replaced them with sackcloth with ashes and without unto the midst of the city and cried with a loud bitter cry. And come even before the king’ gate, for one dressed in sack clothed could not enter, and in every province, because of the king commandment, there was great mourning and feasting and weeping among the people.

So when Esther’s maids heard the mourning, they went unto Queen Esther and told her, so Esther sent her maids to take away his sackcloth and dress him well, but he refused the clothes, so Esther sent Hatach to ask Mordecai what it was and why he was doing this. So Hatach went unto Mordecai and asked why he is doing this, Mordecai answers saying: of all that has happened unto him, and of the amount of money the Haman has promised to pay to the King’s treasuries for the Jew’s to be killed.

Mordecai then handed Hatach the decree to show Esther, so Hatach come unto Esther and told her what Mordecai had said and shown her the decree. Esther then said to Hatach and gave him a commandment to give unto Mordecai: All the king’s servants and the people of the King’s provinces do know that whosoever whether man or woman shall come unto the king into the inner court, who is not called, there is one law of his to put him to death, except such to whom the king shall hold out the golden scepter. That he may live, but I have not been called to come unto the king in thirty days.

He then went again unto Mordecai and told him what Queen Esther has said. Mordecai then commanded to answer Queen Esther; think not with thyself that she shalt escape in the king’s house, more than all the Jew’s. For thou altogether hold thy peace.

Then Queen Esther then bade them return to Mordecai with her answer; Go, and gather all the Jew’s in Shushan, and fast for me, and neither eat nor drink for three days and three nights, My maidens and I will do the same, and so will I go in unto the king which is not according to the law, and if I perish, I perish. So Mordecai went his way and did according to all that Esther had commanded him.

Now it came to pass on the third day that Esther put on her royal apparel, and stood in the inner court of the king’s house, over against the gate of the house. King Xerxes saw Queen Esther standing in the middle of the court, that she obtained favor in his sight, and the king held out his golden scepter to Esther. So Esther walked closer to the king and touched the top of the specter with her hand. Then the king asked Esther; What is it, Queen Esther? And what is your request? It will be given to you half of the kingdom. And Esther answered saying; if it seems good to the king, let the king and Haman come today to the banquet that I have prepared for you. Then the king said; Cause Haman to make haste, that he may do as you said.

So the king and Haman came to the banquet that Queen Esther had prepared for them. And the king asked Esther; What is your petition? And it will be granted to you, and what is your request, my queen? And to half of the kingdom, it will be performed. Then Queen Esther answered, and said to the king; my petition and my request is if I had found favor in the sight of the king, and if it may please the king to grant my petition, and to perform my request, let the king and Haman come to the banquet that I will prepare for them, and I will do tomorrow as the king says.

Then went Haman forth that full of joy and with a glad heart, but when Haman saw Mordecai at the king’s gate and saw that he did not stand up nor moved for him, he was full of anger for Mordecai. Nevertheless, Haman refrained himself and when he went home, he called for his friends and his wife Zeresh. And Haman told them of the glory of his riches, and the multitude of his children, and all the things that the king had promoted him, and how he had advanced him above the princes and servants of the king.

Haman said; moreover, yea, Queen Esther did let no man come in with the king to the banquet that she had prepared her self but myself, and tomorrow I am invited again to a banquet that she had prepared with the king. Yet all this avail me nothing, then I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the gate and he does not stand or move for me.

Then Zeresh and all his friends said to him; let a gallows be of fifty cubits high, and tomorrow speak tot he king and let Mordecai be hanged, then go to the banquet with the king. This pleased Haman, and the gallows where made.

On the night before the banquet, the king could not sleep, so he commanded the servants the book of records of the chronicles. When he started reading he saw that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh, the two of the king’s chamberlains, the keepers of the door, who wanted to lay hand on the king. And the king asked; what honor and dignity have been done to Mordecai for this? And the servants answered saying; there was nothing done to him.

And the king asked; who is in the court? Now Haman was coming into the outward court of the king’s house to talk to the king to hang Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him. One of the servants said to him; Haman is in court. Then the king said; let him in. So Haman came in. Then the king asked: What shall be done unto a man whom the king is delighted to honor. Haman thought it was him and thought: To who would the king be delighted in more than me?

So Haman answered saying: For the man whom the king is delighted to honor, let the royal apparel be brought which the king used to wear, and the horse that the king rides upon, and the royal crown which is set upon his head, and let this apparel and the horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king’s most noble princes, that they may array the man withal who the king is delighted to honor, and bring him on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaim before him, Thus shall it be done to the man who the king is delighted to honor.

Then the king said to him: Make haste and take the apparel and the horse, as you have said, do it to Mordecai the Jew, that sits at the gate, let nothing fail of all that you have spoken. Then Haman took the apparel and the horse and arrayed Mordecai, and brought him on horseback through the streets of the city and proclaimed before him: Thus shall it be done to the man who the king is delighted to honor.

And Mordecai came to the gate again, but Haman had gone back to his house with his head covered. And Haman told Zeresh and his friends about everything that has fallen on him. Then his friends and Zeresh said to him: If Mordecai is the seed of the Jews, before who haste began to fall, thou should not prevail against him, but should surely fall before him.

And while they were talking, the king’s chamberlains came to bring Haman to the banquet that Esther had prepared. So the king Xerxes and Haman came to the banquet with Queen Esther. And the king asked again to Esther on the second day at the banquet; What is your petition, Queen Esther? And it will be granted to you, and what is your request and it will be performed to half the kingdom. Then Queen Esther answered saying; If I had found favor in the sight of the king, and if it pleases the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request. For we are sold, my people and I, to be slain, but if we had been sold for bondmen and bondwomen, I had held my tongue, although the enemy could not countervail the king’s damage.

Then King Ahasuerus answered and said to Esther; Who is he and where is he, that durst presumes in his heart to do this? Then Esther said the enemy is Haman, because he is mad Mordecai and the Jews, and he wants them gone. And Haman was then afraid of the king and queen.

And the king raised up from his seat and walked away from the banquet into the palace garden, and Haman then stood up to make a request for his life to Queen Esther, because he saw that the king was angry at him, Then the king returned from the palace garden into the banquet again. And Haman was then fallen upon the bed where Esther was, then King Ahasuerus said; Will you force the queen also before me in the house? As the king spoke they covered Haman’s face so he couldn’t talk. Then Hardonah, one of the chamberlains, said to the kin; A gallows fifty cubits high, that Haman had made for Mordecai, who has spoken good for the king, is standing in Haman’s house.

The king then said; Hang him on it. So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had made for Mordecai. On that day did the king Xerxes gave Haman the enemy’s house unto Queen Esther, and Mordecai come before the king, for Esther had told him what was unto her. And the king took off his ring, which he had taken back from Haman and gave it to Mordecai, and Esther set him over the house of Haman.

Esther then spoke again before the king and fell down at his feet and be sought him with tears to put away the mischief of Haman the Agagite, and the device that he had devised against the Jews. The king held out his golden specter toward Esther, so she stood up before the king, and said; if it pleases the king, and if I have found favor in your sight, and the thing seem right before the king, let it be written to reverse the letters Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to slay the Jews which are in all the king’s provinces, for how can I endure to see the evil that shall come unto my people? Or how can I endure to see the destruction of my kindred?

Then King Ahasuerus said to Queen Esther and to Mordecai the Jew; I have given you the house of Haman, and I have had him hanged on the gallows that was for Mordecai because he laid his hand upon the Jews. Write ye also for the Jews, as you like it, in the king’s name, and seal it with my ring, for the writing which is written in the king’s name, and sealed it with the ring, may no man reverse.

Thanks for reading! This took a while to write, and if you want to read more about Esther, go to the bible and find Esther and read from the beginning of the chapter and go on to the end.

Ares is the Olympian god of war, and unlike Athena, he represents merely its destructive capacity and is typically the personification of sheer violence and brutality. He was never loved by gods nor by men. That is, with the exception of Aphrodite, who bore him many children out of wedlock (“the state of being married” to the people that didn’t know what that means)

Ares’ name seems to have been an ancient word for battle, or war. In art, Ares is usually presented wearing a helmet, holding a shield, and either a long sword or a long spear. He drives a four-horse chariot and is either accompanied by big bogs or big vultures. Sometimes, even his two sons Deimos and Phobos are in the chariot with him.

Ares was the oldest child of Zeus and Hera, and according to those who think that Hephaestus was through parthenogenesis, their only son. Anyway, he certainly had two sisters: Eileithyia, the goddess of childbirth, and Hebe, the goddess of eternal youth.

Since Ares was the savage god of war, Ares was almost universally detested. At one point in time, after Ares was wounded in battle by Diomedes, even Zeus calls him “the most hateful of all the gods,” remarking that if he hadn’t been his son, he would have surely ended up in Tartarus with Cronus and the Titans.

Ares had many women, but none of his affairs was as famous as the one he had with Aphrodite. At that time, the goddess of beauty was married to Ares’ brother, Hephaestus, who was told by Helios of his wife’s transgressions. Hephaestus fashioned a delicate invisible, bronze net, which he put on the bed where Ares and Aphrodite were supposed to lie, When they finally did in his absence, he stormed into the room with a host of gods. The Olympians laughed for days at the helplessly entrapped lovers.

Ares can rarely be seen alone on the battlefield. He is typically joined by a bloodthirsty crowd, a number of infernal associates symbolizing the terror of war. His sons Deimos (Panic or Dread) and Phobos (Fear) are almost always beside him. The same holds true for Ares’ “comrade and sister” Eris (Strife) and Enyo (the Sacker of Cities and “sister of war”).

History 6 Lesson 65

Greek Myths

Sirens

Sirens are known to be half bird, half beautiful maiden. The Sirens were singing enchantresses capable of luring passing fishermen and sailors to their islands, and, well, to their doom as some would say.

The Daughters of the god Achelous and a Muse said that they were fated to die if any sailor or fisherman shall survive their singing. When Odysseus survived their singing without a scratch, the Sirens threw themselves in the ocean and there they drowned.

Traditionally, the Sirens were the daughters of the river, Achelous and a Muse. It depends on the source which one, but it was undoubtedly one of these three: Terpsichore, Melpomene, or Calliope. But however, according to the “great” tragedian Euripides, the Sirens’ mother was actually one of the Pleiades, Steope.

In Homer, only two unnamed Sirens are mentioned. Later, authors usually talk about three Sirens, naming them in any number of ways they could. It would seem that Theixiope, Aglaope, and Parthenope are, or were, the three names one encounters with the highest frequency.

Some people say that they live on three small rocky islands, called Sirenum scopuli by the Romans. As some would say that the Sirens’ dwelling place was a ghastly sight to behold: a great pile of bones of the fishermen and sailors that fell into their trap. And some bones still have rotting flesh on them, and even the faces of the fishermen and sailors, which has the frozen look of horror on them. The eyes white with death, the lips open in a silent scream and dried blood on the clothes.

Homer says nothing about the Sirens appearance, but one can infer from the “text” that he has in mind human-like creatures, if not pretty or beautiful maidens. However, both poets and artists start changing and depicting the Sirens in a similar fashion to how the Harpies were usually portrayed – that is, as creatures with the body of a bird, and woman’s face.

According to the first one, Demeter turned the Sirens into bird-like monsters because they had failed to help her daughter. The second is more flattering to them: in this case, the aggrieved Sirens asked Demeter for wings themselves, so that they can her search for Persephone better.

Thx for reading guys, hope you enjoyed my essay. I had a lot of fun with this one.

6th English Lesson 60

Page one

Write a creative story about an event after the end of the book, in the later life of Amuba and Chebron

So I’ve been thinking and I think I got the perfect idea for this

Its been 3 years since they moved into the castle when Amuba started to think of an idea. “Chebron, wake up, I have an idea” said Amuba. “Amuba, go to bed, for it is still night.” Chebron said without turning his head to look at Amuba. “But it is important and I might not remember it tomorrow.” Argued Amuba.

“No, leave me alone”

“Chebron, please.”

“No”

“Please”

Chebron sighed heavily, “you won’t leave me alone until I get up won’t you?”

“Yup” come Amuba’s response. “Fine” Chebron said while sitting up, “what is this important idea that can’t wait for tomorrow Amuba?”

Amuba explains his idea about a festival to honor the King of Rebu for his birthday was in 2 weeks. “Not a bad idea Amuba, but how are we going to keep it a secret from the king, you know he’s very clever at finding out secrets.” Chebron said after Amuba was done talking. “Oh, I had forgotten about him being clever at that.” Amuba said.

“We’ll find out someway to keep it from him. Night Amuba.” Chebron said while laying back down.

“Night Chebron.”

It was in the morning when Chebron woke up to find Amuba looking at him. “What Amuba? Why are you looking at me like that?” Chebron said surprised.

Amuba explains his idea. “Not bad Amuba” said Chebron when he was done. “that might work.”

Page two

“My Lord, it is Amuba, may I enter?” Asked Amuba. “Enter Amuba.” come a response.

“My Lord, I know thy birthday s in 2 weeks, is thy planing anything?” Asked Amuba nervously. “My boy, I have nothing planned for I am to busy. Why does thy ask?” The King said.

“Oh, nothing my lord, I was uh… just wondering” Said Amuba with a shaky voice. “Then begone, for I have work to do.” Said the King returning to his papers.

“Phew.” Said Amuba when he closed the door. “i was shaking so much.”

Amuba then ran back to his and Chebron’s room. “Chebron, we are good, he has nothing planned.” said Amuba out of breath. “that’s good, we shall start working then.” Chebron said excited.

It was a week before the King’s birthday when they where almost done when the King burst into their room with rage in his eye’s. “Amuba! Chebron! Why has thee hide a secret from thy King!” The King yelled.

Amuba stood behind Chebron shaking while Chebron answered calmly: “My lord, we planning something for thee. Thy’s birthday is in one week.”

The king just stood there with a shocked look on his face. “Oh my, I am sorry, I thought thy was planning something against me, I am sorry.” The King said quietly.

“My lord, thy is forgiven.” Chebron said with a smile. The King smiled back happy.

It was 5 days before the King’s birthday when a knight come in. “My lord’s, thy king has requested that thy knight’s help with thy planning.” The knight said. “Perfect, we are going to need help with hanging stuff up and building things.” Amuba said excitedly.

Page three

It was on the day of the King’s birthday when everything was done. They had food carts, food booth’s, games, and ride’s. In the dinning hall is where they put a feast. In the court yard is where the games are. In the garden is where the lady’s would be with the Queen.

“Everything looks perfect Chebron. Told you I was good at planning party’s.” said Amuba with a smile while poking Chebron in the ribs with his elbow. “Yeah yeah Amuba, you, I mean, we did good.” said Chebron with a smile of his own.

“Oh my goodness, it looks perfect Amuba! Chebron!” said the Queen. “Thank you my Queen.” said Amuba while they bowed to her. “My husband will love it. You might just give him the best birthday ever.” said the Queen with a smile.

A knight come up to the Queen and bowed. “My Queen, thy king has requested to see thee.” said the knight after standing up. “I must go, thank you again Amuba, Chebron.” said the Queen.

As the Queen walked away with the knight, Amuba leaned in and whispered: “He’s going to love this.”

“He is Amuba.” came a response.

It was three hours later when the king come up behind Amuba and Chebron and picked them up in a big hug. “Everything looks perfect my boys!” the king bellowed after putting them down.

“Thank you my lord.” said Chebron. “you should be thanking Amuba more because this was all his idea.”

“Amuba my boy, you are very creative!” said the king. “Thank you my lord.” said Amuba with a smile.

Page four

The party went on for three days when the king called Amuba and Chebron to stand next to him. “I give thanks to Amuba and Chebron for this wonderful festival!’” the king bellowed to the people.

The crowd started to clapped when the Queen come up next to them. “thank you my boy’s, the king hasn’t had this kind of a party for years, you just made his day.” the Queen said.

“you know what Chebron.”

“What?”

“We are true prince’s”

History 5 Last Essay

What are the two or three of the most important lessons I have taken from history of inventions and inventors?

I’m going to do three lessons.

Gatling gun, Skyscraper, and coca-cola (I’m doing the coca-cola for my dad)

First Gatling Gun

Although the first Gatling gun was capable of firing continuously, it required a person to crank it; therefore it was not a true automatic weapon. The Maxim gun, invented and patented in 1883, was the first true fully automatic, making use of the fired projectile’s recoil force to reload the weapon. Gatling gun, hand-driven machine gun, the first to solve the problems of loading, reliability, and the firing of sustained bursts. It was invented about 1862 by Richard J. Gatling during the American Civil War. After early experiments with a single barrel using paper cartridges (which had to have separate percussion cap), an opportunity to fashion a truly rapid-fire weapon.

Skyscraper

Skyscraper comes from a nautical term which referred to a small triangular sail placed above the skysail on a sailing ship. Empire State Building is a skyscraper that was the longest holder of the “world’s tallest building” title. Burj Khalifa is the tallest man-made structure in the world. Its height is 829.8 m. It also has the world’s highest nightclub, world’s highest restaurant, world’s longest travel distance elevators: 504m, and is the world’s building with most floors: 163. Taipei 101 is the tallest and largest green building in the world which means that it is environmentally responsible and resource-efficient. It was also is the first building in the world to break the half-kilometer mark in height. On May 25, 1981, Dan Goodwin climbed Sears Tower, wearing a homemade Spider-Man suit while using suction cups, and skyhooks. Goodwin said that the reason he made the climb was to call attention to shortcomings in high-rise rescue and firefighting techniques. On August 1999, French urban climber Alain “Spiderman” Robert did the same using only his bare hands and feet. Dubai, United Arab Emirates is today the city with the most skyscrapers. Empire State Building was built in 410 days. Empire State Building’s distinctive Art Deco spire was originally designed to be a mooring mast and depot for dirigibles.

Coca-Cola

Though U.S. pharmacist John S. Pemberton invented Coca-Cola in 1886, his bookkeeper, Frank Robinson invented the name. Robinson had beautiful handwriting, and his flowering script is still used today. Coca-Cola was first marketed as a nerve tonic that “relieves exhaustion.”The very first Coca-Cola products contained cocaine, about 9 milligrams per glass. It was removed from the drink in 1903. The original Coke was also alcoholic. Coca-Cola is the most widely distributed product on the planet. Only two countries in the world do not sell Coca-Cola: North Korea and Cuba. John S. Pemberton, the inventor of Coca-Cola, was a pharmacist and a colonel in the Confederate army during the Civil War. After sustaining a war-injury, he became addicted to morphine and believed his tonic would combat his addiction.

English 5 Lesson 180 Essay

What did I learn and like about 5^th grade English

I learned a lot during this course. Ms. Fish did a great job, but I think I saw some little mistakes, although I think she did them on purpose to see if I notice, and it worked lol. What I liked about this course is that I noticed a difference in my sentences and writing. I think I like English better because it helps me with my spelling and where to/not to put my comma’s and periods and stuff like that. My teacher did a great job, and I know she’ll do great in the future of English. I learned pronouns, nouns, adjectives, and other stuff too. I had fun with this course. Thanks for reading my last Essay in English 5^th.

History 5 Lesson 165

Unix

Unix is one of the oldest but still most popular Operating Systems. It was invented in 1969 at AT&T Bell Labs by Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie. All the Contemporary operating systems of Solaris, HP-UX, Linux, AIX are variants (a form or version of something that differs in some respect from other forms of the same thing or from a standard). Unix is a family of Multi-user operating systems. How it works: A Unix system consists of several parts, or layers as I’d like to call them. To start a system, a program called the boot loader lives at the first sector of a hard disk partition. It is started by the system, and in turn it locates the Operating System kernel, and load it.

Microprocessor

In November of 1971, a company called Intel publicly introduced the worlds first single-chip Microprocessor, the Intel 4004 (U.S. Patent #3,821,715), invented by Intel engineers Federico Faggin, Ted Hoff, and Stanley Mazor. How it works: A dual-core or multi-core processor works by combining two physical cores into a central processing unit, allowing the CPU to handle multiple threads of data at once. The core of a CPU is the part that does all of the actual work.

Video Game Console

The first generation of videos game consoles began in 1972 with the Magnavox (Latin for “great voice”. Magnavox is an American electronic company founded in the Untied States.Today it is a subsidiary of electronic corporation Philips.) Odyssey (which began development in 1968 by Ralph Baer under the code name “The Brown Box”), until 1977, when “pong-style console manufactures left the market en masse due to the video game crash of 1977 and when microprosser-based consoles were introduced. How it works: A video game is a system of complex codes that are put into the game by a programmer and then interpreted and displayed by a personal computer or video game system. Video game systems, often called consoles, all have different hardware and require different codes to work.

VHS and VCR

The first VCR to use VHS standard was the Victor HR-3300, and was introduced by the president of JVC on September 9, 1976. The United States did not receive its first VHS-based VCR, the RCA VBT200, until August 23, 1977. Despite VHS and Betamax being the major companies in the VCR market, other competitors still existed. I would tell you how they work, but its a video and I don’t know how to put links on here.

English 5 Lesson 165

If I could do one thing to make the world better, what would it be

If I could do one thing to make the world a better place is to build homes for the homeless. Every year, thousands of people lose their jobs, and sometimes their homes. Sometimes, when people lose their jobs, its hard to pay for rent or buy food for themselves or their family, and sometimes, they lose people. A lot of people don’t want to be friends with someone that is homeless, which is wrong. I would say to them, ‘Guys, this man/woman lost everything, give them some support, or even help them. They’ve been through a hard time, give them a chance’. People that have a job, home, and money are sometimes rude to the homeless, don’t be like those people. If I could, I would build homes for the homeless in every state, and every country. Family’s can lose their homes because they lost their jobs or can’t pay rent anymore. And sometimes, those people have kids that they need to feed too. I want to see the kids laugh in their own backyard, I want to see them smile again at their new home, I want to see them happy as they once were before everything fell. If I have a billion dollars, I would build homes with food, water, warm beds, warm clothes, everything that they would need. I would do it for them.

P.S. I wanted to add color because normal black was boring, and also because I like bright colors.

English 5 Lesson 60

I would like to learn to do is how to blend colors in Paint, Crayon, Colored Pencils, and mostly Markers.

I do a lot of art. My grandpa is an Artist, he can do paintings so well, they look like someone took a picture. I want to be like him. I’m starting with small stuff, like not-to-hard animals, cars, and anime characters. I would post some, but I don’t know how. I would like to learn how blend markers mostly because they are thick and they push out to much ink sometimes. Markers would be cool to blend. I can blend paint pretty good. It would be cool to blend markers, so I have to work on it. I hope one day I’ll be as good as my grandpa. My grandpa said that it takes practice, patience, and time to do something good, like art. I would like to learn other art things too, but right now, I’ll stay on blending, then work my way up. Hope you guys find something you like and practice on it. Remember, it takes Time, Practice, and Patience.

History 5 Lesson 65

The invention’s I studied and how they help the earth

#2. The pin tumbler lock (or Yale lock, after lock manufacturers Yale) is a lock mechanism that uses pins of varying lengths to prevent the lock from opening without the correct key. Pin tumblers are most commonly employed in cylinder locks, but may also be found in tubular pin tumbler locks (also known as radial locks or ace locks). The first tumbler lock was found in the ruins of the Palace of Khorsabad in Iraq. Basic principles of the pin tumbler lock may date as far back as 4000 BC in Egypt; the lock consisted of a wooden post affixed to the door and a horizontal bolt that#1. A jackhammer (pneumatic drill or demolition hammer in British English) is a pneumatic or electro-mechanical tool that combines a hammer directly with a chisel. It was invented by William Mcreavy, who then sold the patent to Charles Brady King.[1] Hand-held jackhammers are generally powered by compressed air, but some are also powered by electric motors. Larger jackhammers, such as rig mounted hammers used on construction machinery, are usually hydraulically powered. They are typically used to break up rock, pavement, and concrete. A jackhammer operates by driving an internal hammer up and down. The hammer is first driven down to strike the back and then back up to return the hammer to the original position to repeat the cycle. The effectiveness of the jackhammer is dependent on how much force is applied to the tool. It is generally used as a hammer to break the hard surface or rock in construction works and it is not considered under earth moving equipment, along with its accessories (i.e., pusher leg, lubricator). In British English, electromechanical versions are colloquially known as “Kangos”. slid into the post. The bolt had vertical openings into which a set of pins fitted. These could be lifted, using a key, to a sufficient height to allow the bolt to move and unlock the door. This wooden lock was one of Egypt’s major developments in domestic architecture during classical times. In 1805, the earliest patent for a double-acting pin tumbler lock was granted to American physician Abraham O. Stansbury in England. It was based on earlier Egyptian locks and Joseph Bramah‘s tubular pin tumbler lock. Two years later, Stansbury was granted a patent in the United States for his lock.[3]In 1848, Linus Yale, Sr. invented the modern pin-tumbler lock. In 1861, Linus Yale, Jr. was inspired by the original 1840s pin-tumbler lock designed by his father, thus inventing and patenting a smaller flat key with serrated edges as well as pins of varying lengths within the lock itself, the same design of the pin-tumbler lock in use today.

#3. The safety pin is a variation of the regular pin which includes a simple spring mechanism and a clasp. The clasp serves two purposes: to form a closed loop thereby properly fastening the pin to whatever it is applied to and to cover the end of the pin to protect the user from the sharp point. Safety pins are commonly used to fasten pieces of fabric or clothing together. Safety pins, or more usually a special version with an extra safe cover, called a nappy pin, are widely used to fasten cloth diapers (nappies), as the safety clasp, while remaining ingestion hazard,[1] prevents the baby from being jabbed. Similarly, they can be used to patch torn or damaged clothing. Safety pins can also be used as an accessory in jewelry, like earrings, chains, and wristbands. Sometimes they are used to attach an embroidered patch. Size 3 is often used in quilting and may be labeled for purchase as a “quilting pin”. Size 4 and larger may be called “blanket pins” and deemed acceptable as kilt pins for the informal dress, depending upon design and appearance.

A gyroscope is a device used for measuring or maintaining orientation and angular velocity. It is a spinning wheel or disc in which the axis of rotation is free to assume any orientation by itself. When rotating, the orientation of this axis is unaffected by tilting or rotation of the mounting, according to the conservation of angular momentum. Gyroscopes based on other operating principles also exist, such as the microchip-packaged MEMS gyroscopes found in electronic devices, solid-state ring lasers, fiber optic gyroscopes, and the extremely sensitive quantum gyroscope. Applications of gyroscopes include inertial navigation systems, such as in the Hubble telescope, or inside the steel hull of a submerged submarine. Due to their precision, gyroscopes are also used in gyrotheodolites to maintain direction in tunnel mining. Gyroscopes can be used to construct gyrocompasses, which complement or replace magnetic compasses (in ships, aircraft, and spacecraft, vehicles in general), to assist in stability (bicycles, motorcycles, and ships) or be used as part of an inertial guidance system.
