The Excavation of the Temple of the Moon at Mârib (Yemen)

In April 1951, excavations began at the Temple of the Moon, some two miles southeast of Marib, in Yemen. Up to 121 men and boys and 60 oxen were employed at any one time in a short period up to time when excavations had to be halted due to dangerous times.

Marib was not only the capital Sabaean kingdom but it was also the site of the dam, renowned as the greatest of ancient times.

The Temple of the Moon is also called Awwam and is dedicated to the moon god Ilumquh. The temple is shaped somewhat like a kidney with an entrance court on the north side. The walls are preserved in places up to a height of 9m, but scholars are unsure as to how high the temple actually was. “It has three horizontal offsets of about 5 cm. each. The upper one is 20 courses of stone (about 5.80 m.) below the large inscription. The other two are each two courses lower. Seven courses below the lowest offset the horizontal joints are still level but the outside surface is left rough”.

The entrance hall was the only part of the temple that was excavated in 1951/2 completely as the dig was interrupted and excavations ceased. The hall is made up of a peristyle hall with a large door that leads into the temple itself and a massive triple door heading out to an external court and building centre which ended in a chain of eight huge pillars.

The south wall was of particular interest to archaeologists. It has a base course of 10 cm. thick and 26 to 29 cm and a average height of 1.52m. “This section of the wall carries a very interesting series of 64 false “windows” in imitation of lattices. The outside of the walls has similar ornamental windows but they are located approximately 70 cm. lower on the wall without any regard to the spacing of the windows on the inside. The windows measure 42 to 46 cm. wide and 1.24 in. high and are set back into the wall 10 cm. They are spaced 45 to 70 cm. apart. Above each window is a “ventilator grill” design above (lentils similar to those in the upper part of the window itself”.

A number of bronze statues were found, dating to the seventh or eighth centuries BCE. At least one shows a strong Hellenistic style made from local bronze as were the others. This may be the product of a Hellenistic artist or for someone of Hellenistic heritage, but it seems probable that the artist was a fan of Hellenistic style.

The excavation of the Temple of the Moon is of great interest to scholars; not only do they further enhance our knowledge on the architectural styles of the time, but it also tells us about the socio-economic world in ancient Mesopotamia and the relationships they had with neighbouring countries.

Dedi servers are well servers…..currently CoD uses a host process and the “host” is the player in the game that relays all of there internet back to all the other players. the other players get the information for the game through this host(if the host leaves you get the host migration) or if the host dashboards you get teh “connection interrupted”

with dedi servers there is no host. as each player connects directly to the game source…for example world of warcraft runs off of these types of servers so does yahoo google…etc.

In today’s economic climate, almost everyone is looking for discounts and many retailers are forced to oblige. If you are in the market for window treatments, let me illuminate the possibilities.

There is a somewhat well kept secret about shopping for window treatments, the internet. Yes, you can even buy blinds, shades, shutters and curtains online and at lower prices than in retail stores. In general, online retailers have an advantage in that their overhead is substantially lower than traditional brick and mortar stores. These cost savings get past on to you the online shopper. You probably already know this. But, it seems that only a fraction of people take advantage of this reality when it comes to purchasing window treatments.

What are the road blocks? First, if you are buying custom blinds, shades, etc. you cannot just return them like a pair of running shoes that didn’t fit well. You need to make sure that you know what you want and know how to measure your windows accurately so they fit properly. By the way, measuring your windows is much, much simpler than you might think and only takes a few minutes, so don’t get nervous that this is somehow beyond your grasp. Secondly, to fully realize the cost savings you will need to install them yourself. Again, for most people this is very easy. You need only basic tools and a little time.

I think the toughest part of buying window treatments online is simply deciding what you want from the vast sea of choices. Fortunately, most online retailers will send you free swatches. And, I highly recommend making use of this option. Next, and just like in a retail store, online retailers have sales consultants who will help you choose, answer your questions and generally make the whole process a lot easier. Truth be told, you would probably have the same trouble choosing no matter where you bought your window treatments. It is an important decision and one that will impact the look and feel of your room or home. Personally, I believe that online retailers actually offer more dedicated service than the big retail stores. If you need to call customer service you get their full attention and they will take the time to help you, even if that phone call lasts for a while. And online retailers generally carry multiple brands and just about every type of window covering imaginable.

To get the best deal, keep an eye on the sales that online retailers are offering. Most run specials in the range of 15% off up to as much as 30%. In general, online retailers run specials around all the major holidays, just like any retailer. So you can time your purchase around those dates. They also offer free shipping and no taxes, depending on what state you live in. The only caveat to the free shipping is that oversized window treatments cost more to ship and this must be passed on to the consumer. What I would do is sign up to receive emails from several of the top online retailers. That way you will be kept abreast of their best offers. You can unsubscribe to the email announcements once you have made your choice, if you so choose.

With a little research, elbow grease and some do-it-yourself spirit, you can save money on window treatments by shopping online. Plus, you save time and money by not having to drive all over town.

To recap, the internet is one of the best places to find discount window treatments. You can find all the custom window treatments including, blinds, shades, shuttersand drapes you desire at lower prices. – David Brooks

Whether you require Windows hosting or Linux hosting: If the technologies of the server such as JSP, ASP or Micro soft applications such as Micro soft SQL or Microsoft access on the server then it is better to go for Windows hosting. You can find reliability and also securities concerns associated to ASP; nevertheless it is also applied on Linux Hosting using commercial applications. Even though Cold fusion is one such application that’s applicable for both Windows as well as Linux form as you require.

What are your bandwidth and space requirements: Today there are various web hosting service providers who offer sufficient quantity of disk space. So choose the very best as per your own requirement.

Me and my friend were in a party looking for a TDM and got thrown into this match, it took me abit to actually realise what was going on, but somehow me and my friend managed to join a dedicated server with some hacks on, everyone had RPGs and unlimited ammo and the gravity was lifted in the game as well. Watch the video for all the shenanigans. Recorded on the 6th of July 2010 If you were wondering I did actually earn XP for this match because it was found in a ranked playlist.

Question by Some Gamer: What is the average cost of renting a minecraft dedicated server for one month?
1 (see question above)
#2 How does a dedicated server work? Is it a computer that is open 24/7 hosting the server?
#3 How are you going to be able to control the dedicated server? Do you use remote desktop connection?
#4 Can it run bukkit servers? Can you change the bukkit plugins easily?

Please do not use links. Thank you.

Best answer:

Answer by Loufang
I’m renting one myself, so here you go.
1. A 10 slots server is about 8€ a month.
2. Yea, altho depending by companies and games, it will be a computer open 24/7 hosting more than a server. These are very powerful computer and can easily host many servers altogether. Don’t be worried tho, performances shouldn’t be a problem unless you get a really crappy one.
3. Once you create an account and pay the server you’ll be given access to a control panel where you can do about anything you could think of. Good hosting services will provide control panels with a lot of customization that are really easy to use even for non experienced users.
4. I think most hosting services will let you host bukkit servers. The one I use at least does. Changing plugins in most control panels will be as easy as picking them off a list and clicking on “Add”.

Since I mentioned quite often the hosting service I’m actually using, here’s a link in case you want to check it out.

Lol what the fuck, this guy copy pasted exactly what i said -.-

The vast majority of web sites you see on the Internet are actually very small in terms of their data. They also likely receive very little traffic. Sites that receive large amounts of visitors and that are large in size are usually hosted on dedicated servers. If you’re considering making the move to a dedicated server, remember that the cost is usually a bit higher than it is with virtual or shared hosting. In some cases, the setup and maintenance procedures may be much more complex, as well, depending upon which control panel the web host provides.

A dedicated server is one that houses only ones website and whose entire resources are dedicated to that web site’s needs. These servers are also those that the client enjoys the most control over. Most often, these servers come bare-bones and you’ll be offered the option of setting them up however best suits your needs.

For some people, this is liberating. For others, it involves enough complexity that they cannot handle the task themselves. A huge factor in how all of this comes together is what type of hosting you choose.

Linux hosting and Windows hosting are the two most common options you’ll find among web hosts. Linux is an open-source server and desktop operating system that has a great deal of free programs available for it. It is a very common and established choice for web servers. Windows is the well-known operating system that drives the majority of desktop computers and servers in the world. It benefits from extensive support and a multitude of products. Most of these products, however, cost money, unlike those that are used on the Linux system, which are mostly free to use, distribute and modify as you see fit.

When you’re hunting around for cheap web hosting, keep in mind the costs of the operating system you choose to employ. In some cases, Linux may save money because of the availability of free software. If you have a very experienced staff where Windows is concerned, however, it may save money to keep the server software as familiar to them as possible. In either case, you can save a lot of money by going with a host that offers excellent tech support and that offers you a lot of bandwidth for your site. These two costs can be considerable in cases where the service is lacking.
