There are seven houses ; in each house there are seven cats ; each cat kills seven mice ; each mouse has eaten seven grains of barley ; each grain would have produced seven hekat.

Interestingly, Ahmes knew of the modern 22 / 7 as an approximation for pi, and used it to split a hekat, hekat x 22 / x x 7 / 22 =

The Egyptian Rhind papyrus of 1800BC gives the area of a circle as ( 64 / 81 ) < sup > 2 </ sup >, where is the diameter of the circle, and pi approximated to 256 / 81, a number that appears in the older Moscow Mathematical Papyrus, and used for volume approximations ( i. e. hekat ( volume unit )).

However, Plato himself and Greeks had copied 1, 500 older Egyptian fraction abstract unities, one being a hekat unity scaled to ( 64 / 64 ) in the Akhmim Wooden Tablet, thereby not getting lost in fractions.

The Egyptian fraction notation scaled to volume unit remainders to 1 / 320 hekat.

In the Middle Kingdom the 1 / 64 symbol denoted " rest " and " healing " as connected to the hekat, with the word dja being attached.

Weights and measure subunits of a hekat were also connected to Eye of Horus numbers in the quotient, and as an exact remainder, the remainder including an Egyptian fraction and a ro unit, correcting the Eye of Horus 1 / 64 roundoff error.

The ro unit, 1 / 320 of a hekat, is cited in the Rhind Mathematical Papyrus and applied in the medical texts, i. e. Ebers Papyrus in two ways.

The first replaced the hekat by a unity, 64 / 64 ( in RMP 47, 82 and 83 ), and the second by 320 ro ( in RMP 35 – 38 ).

I did not despair, however ; ;

It is interesting, however, that despite this strong upsurge in Southern writing, almost none of the writers has forsaken the firmly entrenched concept of the white-suited big-daddy colonel sipping a mint julep as he silently recounts the revenue from the season's cotton and tobacco crops ; ;

For the near term, however, it must be realized that the industrial and commercial market is somewhat more sensitive to general business conditions than is the military market, and for this reason I would expect that any gain in 1961 may be somewhat smaller than those of recent years ; ;

At the least, however, one may conclude that Geometric potters sensed a logical order ; ;

Everywhere within the common pattern, however, one finds local diversity ; ;

The Rhind papyrus was written by Ahmes and dates from the Second Intermediate Period ; it includes a table of Egyptian fraction expansions for rational numbers 2 / n, as well as 84 word problems.

Later in the 1960s and 1970s, Edmund Leach and his students Mary Douglas and Nur Yalman, among others, introduced French structuralism in the style of Lévi-Strauss ; while British anthropology has continued to emphasize social organization and economics over purely symbolic or literary topics, differences among British, French, and American sociocultural anthropologies have diminished with increasing dialogue and borrowing of both theory and methods.

During the post-World War I period ski-lifts were built in Swiss and Austrian towns to accommodate winter visitors, but summer tourism continued to be important ; by the mid-20th century the popularity of downhill skiing increased greatly as it became more accessible and in the 1970s several new villages were built in France devoted almost exclusively to skiing, such a Les Menuires.

The various styles continued expanding well into the 19th and 20th centuries, proportional to the influx of immigrants from many foreign nations ; such influx developed a rich diversity in food preparation throughout the country.

Long-term trials have shown continued effectiveness without the development of tolerance, and, in addition, unlike benzodiazepines, it does not disrupt sleep architecture and produces less severe cognitive and psychomotor impairment ; it also has a low potential for abuse and dependence and may be preferred over the benzodiazepines for these reasons.
