Leah | Medieval Christian symbolism | Medieval Christian symbolism
In medieval Christian symbolism, Rachel was taken as a symbol of the contemplative (monastic) Christian life, and Leah as a symbol of the active (non-monastic) life.Dorothy L. Sayers, Purgatory (translation of Dante's Purgatorio), notes on Canto XXVII. Dante Alighieri's Purgatorio includes a dream of Rachel and Leah, which inspired illustrations by Dante Gabriel Rossetti and others:
"... in my dream, I seemed to see a woman
both young and fair; along a plain she gathered
flowers, and even as she sang, she said:
Whoever asks my name, know that I'm Leah,
and I apply my lovely hands to fashion
a garland of the flowers I have gathered."Dante's Purgatorio, Canto XXVII, lines 97–102, Mandelbaum translation. |

Kitzingen (district) | Infobox German district
| Kitzingen is a Landkreis (district) in Bavaria, Germany. It is bounded by (from the north and clockwise) the districts of Schweinfurt, Bamberg, Neustadt (Aisch)-Bad Windsheim and Würzburg. |
Kitzingen (district) | History | History
The district in its present form was established in the administrative reform of 1973. The former district of Gerolzhofen was dissolved, and half of its territory was merged with the Kitzingen district (which had been much smaller before). The city of Kitzingen lost its status as a district-free city and was incorporated into the district. |

Hereditarily finite set | Short description | In mathematics and set theory, hereditarily finite sets are defined as finite sets whose elements are all hereditarily finite sets. In other words, the set itself is finite, and all of its elements are finite sets, recursively all the way down to the empty set. |
Hereditarily finite set | Formal definition | Formal definition
A recursive definition of well-founded hereditarily finite sets is as follows:
Base case: The empty set is a hereditarily finite set.
Recursion rule: If are hereditarily finite, then so is .
Only sets that can be built by a finite number of applications of these two rules are hereditarily finite. |
Hereditarily finite set | Representation | Representation
This class of sets is naturally ranked by the number of bracket pairs necessary to represent the sets:
(i.e. , the Neumann ordinal "0")
(i.e. or , the Neumann ordinal "1")
and then also (i.e. , the Neumann ordinal "2"),
, as well as ,
... sets represented with bracket pairs, e.g. . There are six such sets
... sets represented with bracket pairs, e.g. . There are twelve such sets
... sets represented with bracket pairs, e.g. or (i.e. , the Neumann ordinal "3")
... etc.
In this way, the number of sets with bracket pairs is |
Hereditarily finite set | Discussion | Discussion
The set is an example for such a hereditarily finite set and so is the empty set , as noted.
On the other hand, the sets or are examples of finite sets that are not hereditarily finite. For example, the first cannot be hereditarily finite since it contains at least one infinite set as an element, when .
The class of all hereditarily finite sets is denoted by , meaning that the cardinality of each member is smaller than . (Analogously, the class of hereditarily countable sets is denoted by .)
is in bijective correspondence with .
It can also be denoted by , which denotes the th stage of the von Neumann universe.
So here it is a countable set. |
Hereditarily finite set | Models | Models |
Hereditarily finite set | Ackermann coding | Ackermann coding
In 1937, Wilhelm Ackermann introduced an encoding of hereditarily finite sets as natural numbers.
It is defined by a function that maps each hereditarily finite set to a natural number, given by the following recursive definition:
For example, the empty set contains no members, and is therefore mapped to an empty sum, that is, the number zero. On the other hand, a set with distinct members is mapped to .
The inverse is given by
where BIT denotes the BIT predicate.
The Ackermann coding can be used to construct a model of finitary set theory in the natural numbers. More precisely, (where is the converse relation of , swapping its two arguments) models Zermelo–Fraenkel set theory ZF without the axiom of infinity. Here, each natural number models a set, and the relation models the membership relation between sets. |
Hereditarily finite set | Graph models | Graph models
The class can be seen to be in exact correspondence with a class of rooted trees, namely those without non-trivial symmetries (i.e. the only automorphism is the identity):
The root vertex corresponds to the top level bracket and each edge leads to an element (another such set) that can act as a root vertex in its own right. No automorphism of this graph exist, corresponding to the fact that equal branches are identified (e.g. , trivializing the permutation of the two subgraphs of shape ).
This graph model enables an implementation of ZF without infinity as data types and thus an interpretation of set theory in expressive type theories.
Graph models exist for ZF and also set theories different from Zermelo set theory, such as non-well founded theories. Such models have more intricate edge structure.
In graph theory, the graph whose vertices correspond to hereditarily finite sets and edges correspond to set membership is the Rado graph or random graph. |
Hereditarily finite set | Axiomatizations | Axiomatizations |
Hereditarily finite set | Theories of finite sets | Theories of finite sets
In the common axiomatic set theory approaches, the empty set also represents the first von Neumann ordinal number, denoted . All finite von Neumann ordinals are indeed hereditarily finite and, thus, so is the class of sets representing the natural numbers. In other words, includes each element in the standard model of natural numbers and so a set theory expressing must necessarily contain them as well.
Now note that Robinson arithmetic can already be interpreted in ST, the very small sub-theory of Zermelo set theory Z− with its axioms given by Extensionality, Empty Set and Adjunction. All of has a constructive axiomatization involving these axioms and e.g. Set induction and Replacement.
Axiomatically characterizing the theory of hereditarily finite sets, the negation of the axiom of infinity may be added. As the theory validates the other axioms of , this establishes that the axiom of infinity is not a consequence of these other axioms. |

The hereditarily finite sets are a subclass of the Von Neumann universe. Here, the class of all well-founded hereditarily finite sets is denoted . Note that this is also a set in this context.
If we denote by the power set of , and by the empty set, then can be obtained by setting for each integer . Thus, can be expressed as
and all its elements are finite.
This formulation shows, again, that there are only countably many hereditarily finite sets: is finite for any finite , its cardinality is in Knuth's up-arrow notation (a tower of powers of two), and the union of countably many finite sets is countable.
Equivalently, a set is hereditarily finite if and only if its transitive closure is finite. |

Saab 92 | Short description | The Saab 92 was the first production car from Saab. The design was very aerodynamic for its time, with a drag coefficient (cx or cw) of 0.30. The entire body was stamped out of one piece of sheet metal and then cut to accommodate doors and windows. Full-scale production started December 12, 1949, based on the prototype Ursaab. All of them were of the Deluxe version. A standard version was advertised, but nobody was interested in buying it so no standard versions were produced.
The engine was a transversely-mounted, water-cooled two-cylinder, two-stroke 764 cc displacement, 25 hp (19 kW) engine based on a DKW design, giving a top speed of . The transmission had three gears, the first unsynchronised. In order to overcome the problems of oil starvation during overrun (engine braking) for the two-stroke engine, a freewheel device was fitted. The suspension was by torsion bars.
All early Saab 92s were painted in a dark green colour similar to British racing green. According to some sources, Saab had a surplus of green paint from wartime production of airplanes; "All the cars were painted bottle green, a colour that became something of a trade mark for Saab cars. The underlying reason was that the armed forces had bought large quantities of a green cellulose paint for camouflage painting. However, the paint did not suit the terrain and the entire consignment of paint was sold off. Saab bought it and that was why both the aircraft and cars ended up green."
Saab's rally history already started two weeks after the 92 was released, when Saab's head engineer Rolf Mellde entered the Swedish Rally and came second in his class.
Only 700 1950 models were made. In 1951, German VDO instruments replaced the originally-fitted American Stewart-Warner components.
In 1952 Greta Molander won the 'Coupe des Dames' of the Monte Carlo Rally in a 92, tuned to 35 hp (26 kW). In 1953, the 92B arrived with a much larger rear window and larger luggage space (with an opening lid). It was now available in grey, blue-grey, black and green. In 1954 the Saab 92 got the new Solex 32BI carburetor and a new ignition coil giving 28 hp (21 kW). The US headlights were replaced with Hella units. Another novelty was that a textile roof (semi-cab or cabrio coach) was offered as an option. The colour maroon was also introduced this year. In 1955, it acquired an electric fuel pump and square tail lights installed in the rear fenders. The colours were grey, maroon and a new color, moss green.
The English aviation test pilot Bob Moore, who had helped to develop the Saab Tunnan (J29) jet aircraft, brought a 1955 Saab 92B back to England, when he returned, later to become the first managing director of Saab GB Ltd. This was reputedly the first-ever Saab car imported to the UK.
The Saab 93 was introduced in December 1955, but both the 92B and 93 were produced at the same time, for a while. The last 92 was assembled in late 1956–early 1957. Two new colours, grey-green and beige, were available. A total of 20,128 Saab 92s were made.
The Saab 92 appears on a Swedish postage stamp. |

Hailes Abbey | Short description | Hailes Abbey is a former Cistercian abbey, in the small village of Hailes, two miles northeast of Winchcombe, Gloucestershire, England. It was founded in 1246 as a daughter establishment of Beaulieu Abbey. The abbey was dissolved by Henry VIII in 1539. Little remains of the abbey. It is a Grade I listed building and a scheduled monument.
The site is owned by the National Trust but managed by English Heritage. There is a museum on the site holding many artefacts from the Abbey. |
Hailes Abbey | History | History

The abbey was founded in 1246 by Richard of Cornwall, the younger brother of Henry III. Richard was elected by the German Princes as Holy Roman Emperor but Pope Alexander IV refused him use of the title, henceforth he was styled King of the Romans."Hailes Abbey", English Heritage. Richard founded the abbey to thank God after surviving a shipwreck."Hailes Abbey", English Heritage. Richard had been granted the manor of Hailes by King Henry, and settled it with a group of twenty Cistercian monks and ten lay brothers, led by Prior Jordan, from Beaulieu Abbey in Hampshire. The great Cistercian abbey was entirely built in a single campaign in 1277, and was consecrated in a royal ceremony that included the King and Queen and 15 bishops. It was one of the last Cistercian houses to be founded in England.
Hailes Abbey became a site of pilgrimage after Richard's son Edmund donated to the Cistercian community a phial of the Holy Blood, purchased in Germany, in 1270. Such a relic of the Crucifixion was a considerable magnet for pilgrimage. From the proceeds, the monks of Hailes were able to rebuild the Abbey on a magnificent scale. One Abbot of Hailes was executed as a rebel after the Battle of Bramham Moor, in 1408.
Though King Henry VIII's commissioners declared the famous relic to be nothing but the blood of a duck, regularly renewed, and though the Abbot, Stephen Sagar, admitted that the Holy Blood was a fake in hope of saving the Abbey, Hailes Abbey was one of the last religious institutions to acquiesce following the Suppression of Religious Houses Act 1535. The Abbot and his monks finally surrendered their abbey to Henry's commissioners on Christmas Eve 1539.
Following the Dissolution, the west range consisting of the Abbot's own apartments was converted into a house and was home to the Tracy family in the seventeenth century, but these buildings were later demolished and now all that remains are a few low arches in a meadow with outlines in the grass. Surviving remains include the small church for the disappeared parish, with unrestored medieval wall-paintings.
In 1937 the site was donated to the National Trust and in 1948 the Ministry of Works, a predecessor of English Heritage, assumed responsibility for the abbey. |

Outside the remains of the Abbey is Hailes Church. The church is older than the abbey, and was consecrated in 1175. It later served as the capella ante portas (Latin for 'chapel outside the gates') to the Abbey until the Abbey's dissolution in 1539. Inside the church are fine 14th-century wall paintings depicting St Catherine and St Christopher, on the north wall, and St Margaret and coursing scenes, on the south. The church is also a Grade I listed building. The church is part of the Eastern Parishes benefice, north of Winchcombe, and occasional services are held.

Greenwich station | short description | Greenwich station is about 400 m south-west of the district centre, in London, England. It is an interchange between National Rail between central London and Dartford (north Kent), and the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) between Lewisham to the south and Docklands and the City of London. It is in Travelcard Zones 2 and 3.
It is the nearest National Rail station to the centre of Greenwich, but Cutty Sark for Maritime Greenwich DLR station is closer to the town centre and its tourist attractions.
East of the station the Dartford line goes through a tunnel underneath the grounds of the National Maritime Museum, towards Maze Hill. Northwards, the DLR goes into a tunnel through Cutty Sark station and under the River Thames to the Isle of Dogs; in the opposite direction, it rises on a concrete viaduct to follow the River Ravensbourne upstream to Deptford Bridge and Lewisham.

Greenwich station | History | History
The National Rail line is one of London's oldest – the London and Greenwich Railway is reputed to be the world's first suburban railway. It was designed by former army engineer George Landmann, and promoted by entrepreneur George Walter. A massive brick viaduct with 878 arches was built to a station in Spa Road (Bermondsey), and later to London Bridge. The line opened on 8 February 1836 from Deptford, and on 24 December 1838 from a temporary station in Greenwich. Greenwich's handsome station building was designed by George Smith and opened in 1840, making it one of the oldest station buildings in the world.
The South Eastern Railway (SER) leased the Greenwich branch from 1 January 1845.
The South Eastern and Chatham Railway was formed on 1 January 1899 and as such took over operation of the station. The SER and London Chatham and Dover Railway formed a "management committee" comprising the directors of both companies and merged the two companies' operations both of which were on the brink of bankruptcy forced by years of bitter competition.
Up to this point the four tracks through the station (two of which had platforms, two of which did not) terminated at a sector plate which is a traverser that rotates around a pivot that is not at the centre and therefore cannot rotate through 360˚. This saves space and means locomotives can be transferred from one track to another. The original railway company's board room was located at that end of the station behind the sector plate. Both of these features were removed when the line was extended towards Maze Hill.
Difficulties in extending the railway over land owned by the Greenwich Hospital led to the station remaining a terminus until the line was extended eastwards via a cut-and-cover tunnel towards Maze Hill, opening on 1 February 1878.
The Southern Railway took over operation of the station following the grouping of 1923.
Up until 1924 there had been two platform tracks and two tracks between them allowing overtaking moves. This facility was removed (possibly in preparation from the forthcoming electrification) and the empty space between the two platforms remained until the arrival of the Docklands Light Railway at the station in 1999.
Two years later following electrification works, a limited service worked by Electric Multiple Units commenced on 10 May 1926 with the full service commencing 19 July. The lines were electrified to the 750v DC system.
Following nationalisation, operation of the station passed to the Southern Region of British Railways on 1 January 1948.
The Docklands Light Railway (DLR) was extended to Lewisham via Greenwich on 20 November 1999, the new platforms lying immediately to the south of the main-line station, occupying the space originally used by the up main line platform, which was itself relocated into the space left 75 years earlier by the removal of the through lines. At the eastern end, the DLR heads underground through a tunnel through Cutty Sark and under the River Thames. |
