The game was developed by Gearbox Software and Valve and published by Sierra Entertainment for Windows in 1999. Opposing Force was the first expansion for Half-Life and was announced in April 1999. Lead designer Randy Pitchford believed Gearbox was selected to develop Opposing Force because Valve, the creators of Half-Life, wanted to focus on their future games.
Opposing Force returns to the same setting as Half-Life, but instead portrays the events from the perspective of a U.S. Marine, one of the enemy characters in the original game. The player character, Adrian Shephard, is sent in to neutralize the Black Mesa Research Facility when a incident causes it to be invaded by aliens, but quickly finds that the Marines are outnumbered by enemies.

905477 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megaron | Megaron | The megaron (, , plural megara) is the rectangular great hall in Mycenaean and ancient Greek palace architecture. The hall was: 1) surrounded by four columns, 2) had an open portico with two columns in the front, and 3) had a central, open hearth venting through an oculus, or opening, in the roof.
The megaron also had the throne-room of the wanax, or Mycenaean Greek ruler, whose throne was in the main room with the central hearth. Similar architecture is found in the Near East but the open portico supported by columns is particular to the Aegean region. Megara are sometimes called "long-rooms" because of their rectangular shape and the position of their entrances. There were often many rooms around the central megaron, such as archive rooms, offices, oil-press rooms, workshops, potteries, shrines, corridors, armories, and rooms storing wine, oil and wheat.
The megaron was used for sacrifices, royal events, and court meetings.
Structure
Halls in the shape of rectangles were a defining theme of Greek architecture. The Mycenaean megaron originated from the megaroid, or large hall-centered rectangular building, of Greece dating back to the Late Neolithic and Early Bronze Age. Also, it was the architectural forerunner to ancient Greek temples. The megaron's structural layout included a columned entrance, a pronaos, a central naos (or cella), and one of many roof types (i.e., pitched, flat, barrel). The roof was supported by wooden beams. The floor was made of patterned concrete and covered in carpet. The walls were built with bricks of mud, and were decorated with frescoes. There were metal doors often having two-leaved wood decorations. Footbaths were also used in the megaron as mentioned in Homer's Odyssey where Odysseus's feet were washed by Eurycleia. The dimensions involving a larger length than width are similar structurally to the early temples of the Dorian Greeks.
Examples
A famous megaron is in the king's large reception hall in the Bronze Age palace of Tiryns where the main room had a raised throne placed against the right wall and a central hearth bordered by four Minoan-style wooden columns supporting the roof. The Cretan elements in the megaron of Tiryns were adopted by the Mycenaean Greeks from Minoan palace architecture. Frescoes from Pylos show people eating and drinking, which were important activities in Greek culture. Artistic images of bulls, a common animal motif in Mycenaean vase painting, appear on Greek megaron frescoes such as the one in the Pylos megaron where a bull is shown at the center of a Mycenaean procession. Other famous megara include the ones at the Mycenaean palaces of Thebes and Mycenae. Different Greek cultures had their own megara where, for example, the Greeks of the mainland separated their central megaron from the other rooms whereas the Greeks of Crete did not do this.

905516 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johann%20Joachim%20Quantz | Johann Joachim Quantz | Johann Joachim Quantz (30 January 1697 – 12 July 1773) was a German composer, flautist (somebody who plays the flute) and flute maker in the late Baroque period. He was the flutist for Frederick the Great.
Life
Quantz was born in Oberscheden, near Göttingen, in the Electorate of Hanover. His father, Andreas Quantz, was a blacksmith who died when Quantz was not yet 11. From 1708 to 1713, Quantz studied music with his uncle Justus Quantz, a town musician in Merseburg. After his uncle died, he studied with the organist Friedrich Kiesewetter. After 1714, he focused on studying composition and studied the music of other composers.
In 1716 he joined the town band in Dresden. He studied counterpoint with Jan Dismas Zelenka in Vienna in 1717. In March 1718 he became an oboist (somebody who plays the oboe) in the Polish chapel of August II, Elector of Saxony and King of Poland. Quantz realized that he could not improve his career by playing the oboe, so he started playing the flute. In 1719, he studied playing the flute briefly with Pierre-Gabriel Buffardin. He became good friends with Johann Georg Pisendel, concertmaster (the principal violin player of an orchestra) of the Royal Orchestra. Pisendel's style influenced Quantz' own style greatly.
From 1724 to 1727, Quantz went on a trip around Erope. During this trip, he met and studied with many important musicians, including Francesco Gasparini in Rome, Alessandro Scarlatti in Naples, Michel Blavet in Paris, and George Frideric Handel in London. He returned to Dresden in July 1727. The trip made him famous around Europe.
In 1728, Quantz visitied Berlin with August II. In Berlin, he met Crown Prince Frederick. He returned to Berlin two times a year to teach Prince Frederick the flute. When August II died, Quantz stayed in Dresden until Frederick became King of Prussia. Quantz then moved to Berlin, and stayed there for the rest of his life.
Music
Quantz did not publish a lot of his music during his life. He wrote concertos, trio sonatas, and other works for the flute.
Writing
Quantz wrote On Playing the Flute in 1752. It describes how people played music and the flute in the baroque period.

It came out in Japan in early 1982 as the Commodore 64's predecessor. Commodore may have wanted to sell it outside of Japan, as its name was in the Commodore 64 manual. It was first shown in Tokyo, and as Commodore VICKEY. It is rare, selling much less than the Commodore 64 and being discontinued in the same year.
Hardware
Software came on ROM cartridges. It has a membrane keyboard, 2 KiB of RAM and 0.5 KiB of color RAM (1024 × 4 bits). A television is used as a display. The Commodore 64 has the same chipset, 6510 CPU and SID sound chip, and has a compatibility mode, which was often used for "freezer" cartridges, such as the Action Replay, to easily allow control of the running program. Tape drives (for storage) worked, but not disk drives, printers or modems due to not having the right serial and user ports.
Business
It was going to cost about 200 USD. It had better graphics and sound, but Commodore's own VIC-20 was much more popular. It was costing about the same and with much more expandability and software titles. It also had a better keyboard.

The boys find a baby girl and take her in, naming her Khushi. They care for her and are also aware of librarian Anna's ability to see ghosts and spirits. One day, when Madhav pranks and scares the timid Gopal in an empty bungalow, a fight ensues between the boys. Gopal gets punished, which prompts Gopal and Laxman to leave the orphanage, and soon, Madhav, Lucky and Laxman also do the same. Khushi is later adopted by the loving Colonel Chauhan and his wife.
Years later
Some years later, Gopal and Laxman work with Babli Bhai and Madhav, Lucky and Laxman work with Vasooli Bhai. The group reunites after learning about Jamnadas' demise. Returning to the orphanage after 25 years, they meet Col. Chauhan, Anna and Pappi, another orphan from the orphanage who has frequent memory loss. They meet a girl who they think is the bungalow's caretaker, Damini and learn about Khushi's demise. At an event after Jamnadas' funeral, businessman Vasu Reddy reveals the orphanage would be demolished and moved elsewhere in plans to make his own building. When the group leaves the orphanage and returns, a ghost possesses Laxman and speak in Nana Patekar's voice which scares Gopal. Next, the ghost possesses Madhav and prompts Vasooli to give them a task, indirectly bringing the three back to Ooty. A scared Gopal calls Anna, who reveals that there is a spirit in their house and suggests him and Laxman to move to Col. Chauhan's house. Upon reaching Ooty, the two groups start fighting each other out of anger. The three try to scare Gopal into leaving the house, but Gopal gets possessed and beats Lucky and Laxman badly. Later, Vasu Reddy assigns Madhav, Lucky and Laxman to burn down the house. But things go awry when Lucky gets possessed by the spirit and starts talking, which scares the group. The two groups then decide to leave, but Anna and Damini convince them to stay for the birthday celebration, and the group makes amends. The four find that Gopal has fallen in love with Damini and force him to confess his feelings. Pappi arrives and reveals that the girl they assumed to be Damini is actually Khushi, who is dead, while the real Damini is Pappi's girlfriend. The boys get terrified and try to escape the house along with Pappi, Babli Bhai and Vasooli Bhai after Damini confesses it herself. Anna arrives and stops them and explains to them that the ghost is none other than their childhood friend Khushi.
Flashback
A flashback narrated by Khushi explains how her boyfriend, Nikhil Surana, a young businessman and Jamnadas' nephew, killed him in order to obtain the orphanage in his name and demolish it for the construction of a site. Upon confronting him and threatening to go to the police, Khushi was strangled to death by Nikhil. With the help of Vasu Reddy, he managed to prove the killings to be accidents. However, Khushi's spirit came for help to Anna, who was surprised that the boys could see Khushi and eventually brought them to the house to help get justice for Khushi.
Back to the present
Back to the present, Gopal thrashes the goons sent by Vasu Reddy while the rest of the boys, who wanted to stay away from the matter, get emotionally convinced to stay. They convince Gopal to stop chasing the goons and later almost manage to scare Vasu into confessing the truth, but Nikhil arrives before they can and reveals there's no evidence to prove him guilty. This leads to a fight, during which Khushi attacks and nearly kills Nikhil but is calmed down by Anna, and Vasu convinces Nikhil to confess. With the orphanage saved, Khushi's spirit departs to heaven after bidding goodbye to the boys and Anna.

905640 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grotte%20Mandrin | Grotte Mandrin | The Grotte Mandrin is a cave near Montélimar. It is located near the small French town Malaverne, in the Drôme department. It is more like a shelter, that protects from the weather, and not really a cave. It is an archeological site: There are many well-preserved well-preserved finds from the transition from the Middle to Upper Palaeolithic . The oldest layer of finds is 120,000 years old.
It is named after the French folk hero Louis Mandrin .
Location
The Abri, is around 2.5 m km southeast of Malataverne town center at the foot of an exposed limestone cliff at 245 m height . At the site, the valley is very narrow, only about . Important traffic routes pass thougfh there: the A7, N7, D169 and the high-speed line LGV Méditerranée .
Topography
Today, the Grotte Mandrin has a depth of . At some point part of it collapsed. Today, large boulders on the slope below are still there. The covered area was originally much larger. There is an opening of about facing north. At the front, the cave has a height of about . From the middle of the cave, it gets lower, at the back, the height is about less.
In 2013, a fence was built on the space in front of the case, in 2016, video surveillance was installed.
History
When he found traces Bronze Age settlements there in 1960, Gaston Etienne (1923-2010) recognized that the case was important for archaeology. Etienne was a councillor in Malaverne. Since 1993, there have been excavations each year. Since 2006, Ludovic Slimak - a research associate from the University of Toulouse and the CNRS is overseeing these excavations. There are twelve cultural layers at the site, In 2014, seven layers had been excavated. The layers date from 42.000 BP (called early Aurigacien) to 56.000 BP(La Quina-Mousterian) .
The oldest known evidence that anatomically-modern humans (homo sapies) were present in Europe was found in the Batcho Kiro Cave in Bulgaria; this evidence is 45,820 to 43,650 years (Cal BP) old. In February 2022, it was announced that part of a tooth was found at the Mandrin Cave. It came from a layer of the Mandrin Cave under and over which Neanderthal remains have been recovered, but this "baby tooth" has been attributed to a child of Homo sapiens . Articles in the Journals Science, as well as in Nature, said that the tooth was too badly damaged to be able to tell with certainity if it was from a Neanderthal, or a human.

905643 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superabundant%20number | Superabundant number | A superabundant number is a type of natural number. They were defined by Leonidas Alaoglu and Paul Erdős in 1944.
Definition
Any natural number n is called superabundant when a certain equation is true.
In this equation, m is every integer less than n. σ is the sum of every positive divisor of that number.
An example would be to use the number 9. For every number less than 8, the sigma is 1, 3, 4, 7, 6, 10, 8 and 16. (σ(m))/m is 16/9. (σ(n))/n is equal to 13/9. 13/9 is less than 16/9. This makes 9 not a superabundant number
The first few superabundant numbers are 1, 2, 4, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 120, ... .
Properties
Leonidas Alaoglu and Paul Erdős proved that if n is superabundant, then there is a k and a1, a2, ..., ak such that
where pi is the i-th prime number, and
Basically, they proved that if a number is superabundant, the exponent of a larger prime number is never bigger than a smaller prime number during prime decomposition(the process of a composite number become smaller prime numbers). All primes from 0 to are also factors of n. The equation says that a superabundant number has to be an even integer. It also is a multiple of the k-th primorial
Superabundant numbers are like highly composite numbers. Not all superabundant numbers are highly composite numbers, though.
Alaoglu and Erdős observed that all superabundant numbers are also highly abundant.

905647 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eyeliner | Eyeliner | An eyeliner (sometimes written eye liner) is a type of makeup used for the eyes. It is applied around the contours of the eyes to create different aesthetic effects.
In the 20th and 21st century, the use of eye liner has also been associated with Goth and Punk fashion.
History
Eye liner was first used in Ancient India, Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia as a dark black line around the eyes. As early as 10,000 BC, Egyptians and Mesopotamians wore various cosmetics including eye liner not only for aesthetics but to protect the skin from the desert sun. Eye liner may also have been worn to protect the wearer from the evil eye. The characteristic of having heavily lined eyes has been frequently shown in ancient Egyptian art. They produced eye liner with a variety of materials, including copper ore and antimony. Ancient Egyptian kohl contained galena, which was imported from nearby regions in the Land of Punt, Coptos and Western Asia.
In the 1960s, liquid eye liner was used to create thick black and white lines around the eyes in the make-up fashion associated with designers like Mary Quant. The '60s and '70s also saw new fashion trends which made use of eyeliner, eyeshadow and mascara in new ways. As goth and punk fashion developed, they employed eyeliner for a dark and dramatic effect.

It is used in a few languages. In languages that also have the voiced alveolar trill, it can be a similar sound or an allophone (another way a certain sound can be pronounced).
In Proto-Indo-European, the sound *sr became a sound spelled , with the letter for and the diacritic for , in Ancient Greek. This sound was probably a voiceless alveolar trill. It became the regular word-initial (meaning "at the start of a word") allophone of in standard Attic Greek. This sound has disappeared in Modern Greek.

905719 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial%20modelling | Financial modelling | The financial model for a start-up is an exercise in creativity and forward-thinking. It’s an opportunity for entrepreneurs to let their imagination run wild, finally voicing their visions on paper. As startups are generally risky investments, the financial model is a tool that helps investors evaluate the venture before committing funds. The main purpose of the startup financial model is to show investors that your company can reach profitability within a reasonable time frame and make them enough money to justify their investment.
Importance
Financial modeling is an integral part of the startup world. You can use models to predict future growth, understand the impact of certain decisions, and help raise funding. It's also a great tool to see how sensitive your business is to certain assumptions. You can change certain inputs to see how they affect your bottom line or different stages in your model. Models are also good tools for learning about new industries and understanding valuations (if you're looking at acquiring another business).
Types
Financial models are mathematical representations of a financial situation. They can range from simple to complex, depending on the purpose and users of the model. Different model types are appropriate for different purposes, such as long-term strategic planning or annual budgeting.
A company may use several different types of models at the same time. For example, a company may have a long-term strategic plan that it uses to inform its capital investment decisions, but it will also create an annual budget model to plan out how much cash it expects to spend and earn over the course of the year.
Examples

Industry-Specific Model
Financial modeling for startups
Financial modelling for startups is the creation of a financial representation of a startup business. It's used to forecast future cash flows and profitability.
Financial modelling is often used to assess a company's current financial health, its valuation and its potential for future growth. Financial modeling for startups is often used to prepare a document known as a pitch deck. This document is presented to investors and contains information such as: the company's business model, its target market, how it will make money, founders' backgrounds and its revenue projections.
A financial model is not complete without a full set of business assumptions that make up the model. These assumptions are typically broken down by revenue, cost of goods sold (COGS), operating expenses, depreciation and amortization (D&A) and capital expenditures (CAPEX). The process of building a startup financial model is usually referred to as financial modeling.

905748 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/National%20Advisory%20Committee%20for%20Aeronautics | National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics | The National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) was a United States federal agency. It was founded on March 3, 1915. The agency researched flight technology and aircraft. On October 1, 1958, the agency was dissolved. Its employees were moved to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
Founding
NACA was founded on March 3, 1915. At that time, technology and culture were changing quickly. American flight technology was not as advanced as Europe's. The American public had mixed feelings about flight technology. Some people thought that flying was dangerous and foolish. Some thought that it was an important achievement in technology. But in Europe, people were more confident in flight technology.
When World War I started in Europe, the Europeans were already using advanced flight technology. The Germans used airships to bomb British cities. Airplanes were used to spy on enemies. This worried the Americans, who realized that their flight technology is behind Europe's. In response, the federal government of the United States created NACA on March 3, 1915.
Research
By the 1920s, the NACA's mission was to promote military and civilian flight. The NACA did this by researching new flight technologies. To help this research, the NACA built many testing facilities. This included wind tunnels, test stands, and flight test facilities. The agency received a budget of $5000 in 1915.
World War II
The NACA was involved in World War II. They helped research many flight technologies. A lot of the research that the NACA did before World War II was used to make American fighter planes fly better. They researched how to reduce drag. Drag slows down airplanes when moving in the air. They also researched how to stop the propellers of the plane from freezing.
NASA
On November 21, 1957, Hugh Dryden, NACA's director, established the Special Committee on Space Technology. This committee was created to help develop a space program.

Scientists also saw it just once in Honduras.
Appearance
The adult male frog is 4.8 to 6.1 cm long from nose to rear end and the adult female frog is 6.5 to 7.5 cm long. It is named after its large, bony head, which looks like a hat or helmet. The adult male frog is olive green. The adult female frog is light brown or green-brown. There are dark brown or black marks on the back and legs. Some frogs have silver marks on their backs and head. The frogs have yellow color on their sides or red brown on their back legs. The belly is white and tan.
Actions
This frog lays eggs when the weather is rainy. The female lays eggs in shallow water. When the weather is dry or the sun is hot, this frog goes to a hole in a tree. It puts its body inside and its head against the hole.
Threats
This frog is not in danger of dying out but there are fewer of them than there were. This is because human beings change the places where the frog lives. Human beings cut down the forests for wood, farms, towns, and places for animals to eat grass.

2)Shatrughana/Ravana and Arjuna
There are quite similarities between Shatrughana and Arjuna. Both defeated Indra, both were the sons of Indra. Arjuna killed Jaydratha whereas Shatrughana killed Lavanasura. There are also similarities between Ravana and Arjuna. Both abducted women and could not control their lust for women. Arjuna abducted Subhadra whereas Ravana abducted Sita for his pleasure. Both were the rivals of Karna and Rama. Arjuna's character is a mix of Ravana and Shatrughana. Arjuna used to run away from the battlefield while fighting with Karna and Ravana used to run away from Rama.
3)Kaikeyi as Kunti

Yudhisthira's love was greatest for his brother Rama, Bharat's love was greatest for Rama. Finally Yudhisthira in the swarga gave away his crown to Karna and Bharat gave away his crown to Rama in Ayodhya.
5)Hanuman as Krishna

905853 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highly%20abundant%20number | Highly abundant number | Highly abundant numbers are a type of natural number. Any natural number n is called highly abundant when a certain equation is true.
In this equation, m is every integer less than n. σ is the sum of every positive divisor of that number.
Example
An example would be to use the number 5. σ of 5 is 5 + 1 = 6. Every σ less than 5, however, is 4 + 2 + 1 = 7. 7 is greater than 6. This makes 5 not a highly abundant number.
History
Highly abundant numbers were first learned about by Subbayya Sivasankaranarayana Pillai in 1943. Work on the subject was done by Paul Erdős and Leonidas Alaoglu in 1944. Alaoglu and Erdős discovered every highly abundant number up to 104. They also showed that the number of highly abundant numbers less than N is proportional to log2 N.
The first few highly abundant numbers are
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 18, 20, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 60, ... .
There are only two odd highly abundant numbers. They are 1 and 3.
Similarities with other numbers
The first eight factorials are highly abundant. However, not all factorials are highly abundant. For example,
σ(9!) = σ(362880) = 1481040,
but there is a smaller number with larger sum of divisors,
σ(360360) = 1572480.
This makes 9! is not highly abundant.
Alaoglu and Erdős discovered that all superabundant numbers are also highly abundant. There are, however, an infinite number of highly abundant numbers that are not superabundant numbers. This was proven by Jean-Louis Nicolas in 1969.
7200 is the largest powerful number that is also highly abundant. This is because every highly abundant number that is larger has a prime factor that divides them only once.

905923 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primitive%20abundant%20number | Primitive abundant number | In math, a primitive abundant number is a special kind of abundant number. Its proper divisors, however, must all be deficient numbers(numbers whose sum of proper divisors are less than 2 times that number).
Example
For example, 20 is a primitive abundant number because:
20 is an abundant number. This is because the sum of its divisors is 1 + 2 + 4 + 5 + 10 + 20 > 40. This makes 20 an abundant number.
The sums of the proper divisors of 1, 2, 4, 5 and 10 are 0, 1, 3, 1 and 8. All of these numbers are a deficient number. This makes 20 a primitive abundant number.
The first few primitive abundant numbers are 20, 70, 88, 104, 272, 304, 368, 464, 550, 572 ...
The smallest odd primitive abundant number is 945.

905951 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teuku%20Iskandar | Teuku Iskandar | Teuku Iskandar is an Indonesian scholar, literary critic, and lexicographer. Teuku Iskandar is one of the native Indonesians (Acehnese) who are eager to explore the books that record the Sumatra's civilizations (mainly Acehnese and Malay).
Biography
Background
Teuku Iskandar was born at Trienggadeng, Pidie, Aceh (part of modern-day Indonesia). He is a native Acehnese who was born to a father who are an uleebalang ( 'district chief' in Acehnese) in Aceh.
Early life
In 1947, a day after Queen Juliana appointed as regent, the 18-year-old Teuku Iskandar was able to continue his study at Leiden University in Leiden (part of Netherlands.
In 1955, he earned his doctorate from Leiden University with a dissertation which was later published as a book, De Hikajat Atjeh ( 'Acehnese Annals'). Topics related to Aceh has became his personal interest, which also became his dissertation. His insterest is mainly driven by his personal background because at that time he was part of the first generation of Acehnese who studied at Leiden University. Moreover, at that time there were not as many Acehnese books written by native Indonesians. In addition, Teuku Iskandar adore the Acehnese culture so much, as he told to his children.
1960s
In the 1960s, Teuku Iskandar asked by Sukarno (the first president of Indonesia) to be part of the founders of a state university in Aceh which later known as Syiah Kuala University and briefly served as the dean for the Faculty of Economics for several years.
Studies
His diligence in studying Malay literature and culture in Sumatra attracted another countries interest, such as Malaysia who had no capable scholars at that time as newly created country, he is offered to work at the Dewan Pustaka dan Bahasa ( 'Language and Library Council') of Malaysia. During his tenure, Teuku Iskandar asked by Malaysia's linguistic council to copied the Bahasa Indonesia dan Pembakuannya ( 'Indonesian Language and its Standardization') and Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia ( 'Great Dictionary of Indonesian Language') who are developed by Raja Ali Haji (an Indonesian scholar) since 19th century and Anton Moeliono in 1969 to re-branded and claimed it as the Kamus Dewan ( 'Dictionary of Malay Language') that published in 1970 to became the main linguistic reference for Malay language. At the same time, he was also asked by the Sultan of Brunei Darussalam to become a lecture at the University of Brunei Darussalam and he received a professorship from the university. His works are still used as the main linguistic source for Standard Malay until nowadays.
Return to Leiden
Teuku Iskandar later returned to Leiden to give lecture. At his alma mater (Leiden University), he became a professor for Acehnese and Malay literature, and also gave special classes in the Acehnese language. As a Acehnese lover, he also continues to produce his works related to Aceh including the Catalog of Acehnese Manuscripts compiled with Voorhoeve, two large volumes of the Catalog of Malay, Minangkabau and South Sumatra, and Manuscripts in the Netherlands.
Perspectives from his daughters
Studying classical literary manuscripts is a job that not many people can do. It takes passion, perseverance, thoroughness and high concentration. But indeed, such qualities seem to be attached to Teuku Iskandar. "Dad really likes history and art", said Tjut Njak Ubit Iskandar who are the second daughter of Teuku Iskandar. Teuku Iskandar is very thorough even in reading the books he referenced.
As a close daughter, Tjut Njak Ubit Iskandar often found his father's handwritten notes in reference books, which indicated that the information in the books could be referenced or questioned. Ubit also said that his father is the type of person who reads and contemplates a lot. Despite his abundant knowledge, he is not an 'outsider' or talkative person. Not all of his interlocutors can also make him interested in talking. But if he meets someone he thinks is sharp-minded, this father of three will be an extraordinary storyteller. “When there is a moment like that, my mother usually asks me to bring a recording device to save the interesting conversation,” recalls Ubit.
Teuku Iskandar is also a scholar and person who holds principles. He's not the kind of person who wants to please others but rather be himself. In Ubit's eyes, his father was not interested in politics even though he loved Sumatran (especially Acehnese and Malay) culture very much, he was an intellectual who carried himself as a citizen of the world. Also not many people know that Teuku Iskandar is very fond of architectural history. According to Ubit, it can be said that his father's first love was precisely in architecture. However, because his chemistry skills were not sufficient to become a scholar of architecture, he then chose to study literature.
Architecture
Teuku Iskandar's passion for architecture can be found in his residence in Jakarta which he designed himself. He also built a rest house with an English garden-style garden in Bogor, which he also designed his own architecture. At his home in the Netherlands, Teuku Iskandar designed a fireplace made of wood from a bridge from the 17th century with Acehnese decorations. One of his other hobbies is sketching. Teuku also once conveyed his dream to his sons and daughters, he wanted to build a farmhouse in Aceh. "I have a dream (to develop) in Aceh", Ubit remembers his father.
Translations
In one of his works, a book that discusses Bustanas-Salatin by Nuruddin ar-Ranniry, Teuku Iskandar asked Ubit to translate it into English. For years, father and daughter studied books by 17th century clerics who were read by scholars and sultans in the Kingdom of Aceh. For Ubit, it was a wonderful experience that was unforgettable.
Reputation
As a respected scholar (mainly in Indonesia), Teuku Iskandar is a very down-to-earth person. Cut Rosmanida, his first daughter who lived in Medan, said, “Father is a humble and simple person. His demeanor is mediocre. When you go home to Aceh, you always ask for Acehnese food to be cooked. He likes all Acehnese dishes.” A valuable lesson from his father that he always reminded him to be proud to be Acehnese and proud to speak Acehnese language.
Awards
Teuku Iskandar awarded with the ‘Satyalancana Budaya’ award by the national government of the Republic Indonesia due to his revolutionary and persistent works especially in terms of Sumatra's linguistic and culture (mainly Acehnese and Malay). Responding to the award given by the government to his father, Cut Rosmanida expressed his gratitude. “I am happy and excited that my dad are one of the recipients of the award. I thank God and thank the government (for these honour)", said Cut Rosmanida beaming.

The sum of n's divisors must be equal to 2n − 1. Every known almost perfect number is a power of 2 and has non-negative exponents .
For example, the divisors of 32 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32. The sum of those is 63. 32 ⋅ 2 - 1 is 63. This makes 32 an almost perfect number.
The only known odd almost perfect number 1. An odd almost perfect number that's not 1 is possible. It would, however, have to have six prime factors.
