The holiday called (EID)

 There are two major Eids in the Islamic calendar per year – Eid al-Fitr earlier in the year and Eid al-Adha later. Eid al-Fitr is a three-day-long festival and is known as the “Lesser” or “Smaller Eid” when compared to Eid al-Adha, which is four-days-long and is known as the “Greater Eid.”


Eid al-Adha: Eid al-Adha commemorates the Quranic tale of Prophet Ibrahim's willingness to sacrifice Ismail as an act of obedience to God. Before he could carry out the sacrifice, God provided a ram as an offering.

  

Eid is the holiday which is at the of the month Ramadan. Men and women go to the masque and pray in the morning of the Eid. They wear new clothes. Women cook delicious food. They decide where to go for the picnic of Eid.

Henna: Henna is a dye prepared from the plant Lawsonia inermis, also known as the henna tree, the mignonette tree, and the Egyptian privet, the sole species of the genus Lawsonia.

Henna can also refer to the temporary body art resulting from the staining of the skin from the dyes. After henna stains reach their peak color, they hold for a few days, then gradually wear off by way of exfoliation, typically within one to three weeks. Henna has been used since antiquity in ancient Egypt and the Indian subcontinent to dye skin, hair and fingernails, as well as fabrics including silk, wool, and leather. Historically, henna was used in West Asia  including the Arabian Peninsula and in Carthage other parts of North Africa, West Africa, Center Africa, the Horn of Africa and the Indian subcontinent. The name "henna" is used in other skin and hair dyes, such as black henna and neutral henna, neither of which is derived from the henna plant.

My reaction to chapter 2

Chapter 2 The relationship between Mom and Daughter. A good relationship between mother and daughter is something which is really expensive and everyone do not have it. Jeanette's parents did not take care of her. Mom let her 3 years old daughter to cook by herself and kept her hungry instead she was enjoying, singing and painting in the other room. When Jeannette was on fire her mom was so relax and calm and had no feeling, but the stranger women felt bad for Jeannette. She ran to her car without saying anything. When the doctors and nurses saw Jeannette's body, They took the situation so seriously and were worried about her, so they start asking question from Jeannette. Because getting burned of a 3 years old girl was weird for them. The doctor asked "what was she doing in the kitchen by herself?" I was doing cooking hot dogs by myself at the age of three. It was easy, she said. Jeannette is telling us that her mother is not taking care of her. The hospital was clea

Observatory and Planetarium of Yale

  The Yale University Observatory, also known as the Leitner Family Observatory and Planetarium, is an astronomical observatory owned and operated by Yale University, and maintained for student use.  Yale's first observatory, the Athenium, was founded in 1830, situated in a tower. From 1830 it housed Yale's first refractor, a 5-inch (130 mm) Dollond donated by Sheldon Clark. It was the largest in the United States at the time. With this telescope Olmsted and Elias Loomis made the first American sighting of the return of Halley’s Comet on 31 August 1835. (It had been seen in Europe on 6 August, but no news of this had reached the United States.) The telescope was mounted on casters and moved from window to window, but it could not reach altitudes much over 30 deg above the horizon. In 1870, a cylindrical turret was added above the tower, so that all altitudes could be reached. In the same year a 9-inch Alvan Clark refractor was mounted in the observatory. The building was demol
