In Memory and Tradition in the Book of Numbers, Adriane Leveen offers an imaginative rereading of the fourth book of Moses. Leveen examines how the editors of Numbers crafted a narrative of the forty-year journey through the wilderness in order to shape Israelite understanding of the past and influence the world-view of future generations. Leveen’s book explores religious politics, the complexities of collective memory, and the literary strategies used by the editors of Numbers to convince the children of Israel to accept priestly rule. Leveen considers how this process took place in the face of the horrifying memory at the heart of the Book of Numbers: the death of an entire generation of Israelites in the wilderness, struck down before their children’s eyes by divine decree.

Panoramas have been used since the late eighteenth century to educate and entertain audiences and to record and study significant events and locations. Large-scale images (in tapestries, trompe-l'њil paintings, and murals) had been used before, but Robert Barker, an Irish painter, is credited with the idea of a large cylindrical painting that would surround the viewer and provide an immersive experience in a scene. He patented the idea in 1787 and displayed his enormous panorama (more than thirty feet high) of Edinburgh inside a specially designed building in Leicester Square in London. Early experimenters in photography built both flat and cylindrical panoramas and incorporated them into dioramas and early versions of moving pictures. Panoramas of recent events (wars, fires, floods, and earthquakes), exotic locations, and cultural sites could be seen in variety of settings, ranging from hand-held viewers to permanently installed displays in museums and public buildings. The larger ones, which often sold printed handbooks instructing the viewer about the event or view being shown, provided a fairly sophisticated illusion that allowed the viewer to imagine him or herself to be "there," walking through Paris, in the middle of the battle of Waterloo, or on an Artic explorer's ship wintering in the ice.
File system starts out with all or most of its files contiguous, and becomes more and more fragmented as a result of the file creation and deletion over the time. Thus files and their parts become spread all over the hard disk, which follows the delays in the hard disk work and further lower performance. Total Defrag 2010 is a new comprehensive product for total file system defragmentation and optimization. Built on original Paragon technologies, it performs complete low-level defragmentation that provides almost zero fragmentation level.
