The family is considered to be one of those which founded the ancient community of Dubrovnik. The surname is attested in various forms in different places: Baebiblius nearby Salona, Babuleius, Babullia, Bobuli or Boboli in Italy. One of the etymologies proposed considers that all these surnames are derived from the early-medieval name Babilius or Babilonius. According to another ancient tradition the Bobali originated in Bosnia in the 10th century. |

Tong-its or Tongits is a 3 player rummy type of game that gained popularity in the 1990s in Luzon, the largest island of the Philippines. |
27326125_0_1 | 27326125 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tong-its | Tong-its | Tong-its.
This game is played using the standard deck of 52 cards. Its origin remains unknown but it was believed to have been popularized by the Ilocanos, and which was first played in Pangasinan in the mid 1980's which they call "Tung-it". The game rules and the very name can be associated with the American card game, Tonk, and also share its similarities of Mahjong. |
27326125_0_2 | 27326125 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tong-its | Tong-its | Tong-its. Rules
Like many popular card games, there are variations to the following rules. |
27326125_0_3 | 27326125 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tong-its | Tong-its | Tong-its. Objective of the game
The objective of the game is to empty your hand of all cards or minimize the count and the scores of unmatched cards that are still on the player's hand by forming card sets (melds, also called a "bahay"(pronounced ba-hai), "buo," or "balay" in some languages, dumping cards and calling a draw. The player who gets rid of all the cards or has the fewest total points at the end of the game (when the central stack is empty) wins the game. |
27326125_0_4 | 27326125 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tong-its | Tong-its | Tong-its. How to Play
Each player is dealt 12 cards while the dealer gets 13 and the rest of the cards are left as a central stack. The game begins when the dealer dumps a card. The next person can either pick up the disposed card if that card makes a set or adds to a set he has already or get one from the central stack. Collect hand combinations and dump unnecessary cards. The
picking and discarding of cards goes on until someone wins by Tong-its, calls a draw or until the
central stack runs out of cards. If this happens, the players tally the points of the cards they have at hand and the one with the lowest wins. In case of a draw the last person to take a card from the central deck wins. |
27326125_0_5 | 27326125 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tong-its | Tong-its | Tong-its. Meld (Bahay)
Meld (Bahay) is a set of matching cards a player needs to collect in order to win the game. When a player collects a meld, he has the option to either lay it down, or keep it. However, a player must expose at least one meld to call or challenge a draw unless the player has a "Secret" or "Sagasa" in which case he can challenge (but not call). If a player fails to lay down a meld and does not have either special melds when the game ends, the player is considered “Burned” and will neither be able to challenge a draw (if one is called) nor eligible to win in the end tally count (if the central stack runs out). |
27326125_1_0 | 27326125 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tong-its | Tong-its | Tong-its. Three-of-a-kind: three equally ranked cards (7♣ - 7♦ - 7♠)

27326125_2_0 | 27326125 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tong-its | Tong-its | Tong-its. "Tong-its" or Tongits
If the player is able to use all of his or her cards in combinations, by connecting to opponents’ or the exposed card sets (sapaw), or if the player gets rid of all his cards, then the player wins by Tong-its. A person can discard of his cards by forming melds and laying it down or making a "sapaw" on one of the other players' laid down meld. A meld consists of at least three cards (three-of-a-kind or straight flush) and a sapaw would be the fourth of those three, or the continuation of that straight flush. |

A player with at least one exposed meld and has low points can call a draw before his turn given that no other players connected to his exposed meld before that. Otherwise, the player will have to wait for his next turn to call a draw. |

A player cannot call for a draw if his exposed hand(s) has been melded (sapaw) by any opponent within the round. Players with no card sets exposed are automatically folded.
When a draw has been called, the points are computed and tallied. The person with the lowest points wins. If a tie occurs, the challenger wins. In the event of a three-way tie, the player to the right of the challenger wins. |
27326125_2_3 | 27326125 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tong-its | Tong-its | Tong-its. Deck pile runs out

A player is considered Burned if the player is unable to form a meld or set at the end game. Also called Sunog in Tagalog and Paksiw in Visayan. |

Tisamenis was of Athenian descent. Her ancestry can be traceable to the Athenian noble woman Elpinice (a half sister of statesman Cimon and daughter of politician Miltiades the Younger). She had an ancestor four generations removed from her called Polycharmus. Polycharmus from 9/8 BC-22/23, could have served as an Archon of Athens. Her family bears the Roman family name, Claudius. There is a possibility that a paternal ancestor of hers, received Roman citizenship, from an unknown member of the Claudius gens. |

Tisamenis had two brothers: the prominent Greek Sophist Lucius Vibullius Hipparchus Tiberius Claudius Atticus Herodes and Tiberius Claudius Atticus Herodianus. Her maternal grandparents were Claudia Alcia and Lucius Vibullius Rufus, while her paternal grandfather was Hipparchus and his unnamed wife. |

27326133_0_4 | 27326133 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claudia%20Tisamenis | Claudia Tisamenis | Claudia Tisamenis. Life
According to the French Historian Christian Settipani, Tisamenis was born about ca. 100 in an unknown place in Greece. She spent her childhood travelling between Greece and Italy. Modern Historians have argued that Tisamenis could have married a Greek Aristocratic in Sparta from the Achaea Province. The name of Tisamenis has been found as a testamentary disposition on an erection of a family statue-group in her marital home-city. According to Settipani, Tisamenis married an unnamed Roman Aristocrat, by whom she had a daughter called Claudia (b. ca 120), who might have been the grandmother of Roman Emperor Gordian I. |

A spring-tooth harrow, sometimes called a drag harrow, is a type of harrow, and specifically a type of tine harrow. It is a largely outdated piece of farm equipment. It uses many flexible iron teeth mounted in rows to loosen the soil before planting. It is set in the ground and raised manually and cannot be backed up; this is why it has been replaced by more modern equipment such as the chisel plow and field cultivator. |
27326166_0_1 | 27326166 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spring-tooth%20harrow | Spring-tooth harrow | Spring-tooth harrow.
A drag harrow more specifically refers to a largely outdated type of soil cultivation implement that is used to smooth the ground as well as loosen it after it has been plowed and packed. It uses many flexible iron teeth usually arranged into three rows. It has no hydraulic functionality and has to be raised/adjusted with one or multiple manual levers. It is a largely outdated piece of farm equipment, having been replaced by more modern disc harrows and deeper, stiff-toothed rippers, however, smaller farmers still use them. |
27326166_1_0 | 27326166 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spring-tooth%20harrow | Spring-tooth harrow | Spring-tooth harrow. Uses
A drag harrow is used to loosen and even out soil after it has been plowed and packed. The drag harrow also kills some weeds that may be present, but it is not very efficient in doing so, and it is not one of its primary functions. |
27326166_2_0 | 27326166 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spring-tooth%20harrow | Spring-tooth harrow | Spring-tooth harrow. In modern times
The non-hydraulic drag harrow is not often used in modern farming as other harrows have proven to be more suitable, such as the disc harrow. Another reason they are not often used is because they cannot be controlled hydraulically, meaning that the operator is required to dismount from the tractor to adjust it or unclog it. However it is used as a drag behind several other implements such as a rod weeder. Due to their low cost and simplicity, old fashioned are still widely used by small farmers. |
