Mediatization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The term "mediatization" was originally applied to the reorganization of the German states during the early 19th century. Mediatization, defined broadly, is the annexation of one monarchy by another monarchy in such a way that the ruler of the annexed state keeps his or her noble title, and sometimes a measure of power. Mediatization has occurred in a number of other countries, however: Italy and Russia are notable examples. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/mediatization

Malay Houses - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Since their houses were built in timber, it was a custom that for every child born, the parents would plant at least one tree in the family compound or kampung (village) orchard on behalf of that child. Although nails had been invented and in later houses used minimally for non-structural elements (for example, windows or panels), there were benefits of structural flexibility which the rigidity of nailing defeated. For ventilation, the elevation of the house and also its many windows, holed carvings and slatted panels around the walls plus the high thatch or clay tile roofs all contribute to the cooling ambience. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Malay_Houses   (1068 words)

Hogwarts - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Hogwarts is an ancient fictional castle located in a mountainous and secluded region in Scotland near a fictional town called Hogsmeade.

Hogwarts Houses - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia As this is the house to which Harry Potter belongs, its private quarters are the only ones that have been described in any detail (though Slytherin's common room was described briefly in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets), and its members tend to get the most attention. This rivalry is demonstrated in the Quidditch matches and the annual school competition for the House Cup which is determined by the number of points earned or lost by each member of the rival houses. It must be remembered that all of the Houses have their virtues and flaws: none are inherently good or evil (and Harry has ambition, if somewhat limited). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Hogwarts_Houses   (2264 words)

Astrological Houses - Bhavas The ninth house is infused with qualities of both the fifth and twelfth houses. Traditionally if a planet rules a tricona house (one, five, and nine) and the other house is a more difficult house like the dustanas (six, eight, and twelve) the tricona will predominate, but it will not completely override the dustana meaning. The ruler of a house and the house it resides in determines how the indications for that house will manifest in life. www.galacticcenter.org /houses_bhavas.htm   (2264 words)

Astrology Houses - © Dr Shepherd Simpson The Early History of Astrological Houses: We do not really know when houses became part of astrology but they definitely do not appear to have existed as astrological concepts prior to 400 BC. As such, they are the earliest description of the nature of astrological houses - and the three systems by which the houses are applied to the Zodiac Wheel - that we possess. House Definitions which differ from those presented on these pages - and, let's face it, most modern ones do - it's therefore worth bearing in mind that Manilius is the primary astrological source on astrological houses. www.geocities.com /astrologyhouses   (2264 words)

Abbey On the south side of the cloister we have the remains of the old refectory (11), running, as in Benedictine houses, from east to west, and the new refectory (12), which, with the increase of the inmates of the house, superseded it, stretching, as is usual in Ciestercian houses, from north to south. The abbot's house, the largest and most remarkable example of this class of buildings in the kingdom, stands south to the east of the church and cloister, from which it is divided by the kitchen court (K), surrounded by the ordinary domestic offices. In these cottages or cells a Carthusian monk passed his time in the strictest asceticism, only leaving his solitary dwelling to attend the services of the Church, except on certain days when the brotherhood assembled in the refectory. www.1902-encyclopedia.com /A/ABB/abbey.html   (1577 words)

Malay was once probably a people of coastal Borneo who expanded into Sumatra and the Malay Peninsula as a result of their trading and their use of the sea.

Llewellyn Encyclopedia: Understanding Astrological Houses Cadent houses (3rd, 6th, 9th, and 12th) are said to be less forceful; planets placed in these houses may operate on a more mental or detached level. Succedent houses (2nd, 5th, 8th, and 11th) are more sensitive; planets placed in these houses are likely to carry a more passionate charge. The Angular houses (1st, 4th, 7th, and 10th) are considered strongly expressive; planets in these houses are more easily recognized by others or may be expressed in a more physical manner than other planets. www.llewellynencyclopedia.com /article/2337   (481 words)

Astrological Houses The twelve divisions of the Birth Chart, (or horoscope) are called the Astrological Houses and indicate the areas of life where the planetary energies become manifest. Tradtionally it was considered the house of seclusion in hospitals, prisons etc..and the domain of secret enemies, but we are all capable of being our own worst enemy by failing to nurture our needs.

Carthusian Carthusians are sometimes considered the highest order of the Catholic Church, in terms of strictness (this refers to the idea that one is only allowed to switch your religious order if you are going to one that is more strict, and the top being the Carthusians). There is a museum on the Carthusian order next to the monastery of the Grande Chartreuse; the monks of that monastery are also involved in the production of the Chartreuse liquor. Today Carthusians live very much as they originally did, without any laxing of their rule and thus never having needed any kind of reform. www.sciencedaily.com /encyclopedia/carthusian   (481 words)

Beehive shut; Oakland club's future in doubt The Beehive also houses another small club, the Pollinator. Singer Phat Man Dee, who worked as a janitor at the Beehive for 10 years before she began singing on the stage there in 1998, was on hand for the demonstration, as was Christina Springer of Suncrumbs, a group that fosters interdisciplinary arts projects and that often held performances at the Beehive. The Beehive, an Oakland club and concert venue, was shut Monday for an unspecified amount of time, throwing the future of the Forbes Avenue landmark into question and forcing a number of bands that were scheduled to play there this week to find alternative venues. www.post-gazette.com /magazine/20010516beehive6.asp   (481 words)

Saudi Aramco World : The Beehive Enigma Their houses had to resist the mechanical stresses of wind pressure and the minor shocks of the frequent earthquakes which afflict the region. Are we to ascribe the beehive house's tenacious longevity to mere inertia, to a sterility of the Syrians' inventive powers, or to the known conservatism of rural communities? A comfortably old-fashioned feature of the Khirbet Kerak temple was built-in furniture—the use of which had been standard in Anatolian house construction since the seventh millenium B. This wide distribution of a single building style in the same Chalcolithic era suggests a passing fashion. www.saudiaramcoworld.com /issue/196706/the.beehive.enigma.htm   (481 words)

Uttarakhand News Archive: Chamoli-Rudraprayag Earthquake He told reporters at Gopeswar helipad that quake-resistant houses would be built in the sensitive quake-prone areas in the central Himalayan region. Referring to the ambitious construction of earthquake resistant houses project undertaken by the HUDCO and other agencies, Mr Jai Singh Rawat, a social worker said it would be good to provide built houses to the people who should be asked to foot a part of the bill through easy interest free installments. However, owing to the area's scattered population and the 30 km depth of the epicentre, the damage was not as grave as it was in the 1991 quake in Uttarkashi. www.bostonglobalaction.net /UK/news-earthquake.html   (481 words)

Poplar - The leaves of many poplars, including cottonwood and quaking aspen, have laterally-flattened stems, so that breezes easily cause the leaves to wobble back and forth, giving the whole tree a "twinkling" appearance in a breeze. Like willows, many poplars have very strong and invasive root systems, so they must not be planted too close to houses or waterpipes as they will crack walls and pipes in their search for moisture. The quaking aspen is one of the most important boreal broadleaf trees. www.i-encyclopedia.com /index.php?title=Poplar   (481 words)
