The existence of a man and woman who have no kinship so that it is lawful to marry her, in a lonely place without being ac companied by a mahram of the male or female side. This khalwat is a crime that is not subject to hudud punishment and kafarah punishment. This form of khalwat crime is included in the category of ta'zir finger whose number of punishment is not limited. In the Qur'an and Sunnah this khalwat act is highly reproached, but not clearly regulated in the Qur'an and Sunnah. So this act can be entered into the ta'zir group. All deeds that should (need) be forbidden to fulfill the common good (community). This prohibition must necessarily be made on the basis of community agreement / consensus in ways that are considered eligible. In North Aceh, the khalwat actors who are close to the power are hard to touch with the law, it is not surprising to all of us to remember that the law in this country is not yet the commander but the law is merely a bargaining position in everyday life.

In his recent book dealing with the history of duelling in Ireland, James Kelly comes to the conclusion that eighteenth-century Ireland was essentially ‘a violent society’, peopled at least in part ‘by wilful men who put their individual reputations above their lives, their families, their religion, and the law’. Such comments seem to continue a well-established tradition of interpretation that goes back to the nineteenth century. However, this image of a society in which violence was endemic, and conflict a feature of everyday life, has not gone unquestioned by historians. For example, Thomas Bartlett and Sean Connolly have instead noted the relatively controlled nature of popular protest, the early disappearance of banditry, and the reliance, until the very end of the century, on local enforcement of the law, as possible indications that Ireland may not have been as disorderly a society as has been suggested. These differing interpretations have, in turn, an obvious relevance to the wider debate on how eighteenth-century Ireland should be perceived: as a society irreconcilably and uniquely divided by religious and ethnic conflicts, or as a more or less typical part of the European ancient régime.

W. S. Gilbert (librettist) and Arthur Sullivan (composer) wrote fourteen works of musical theatre from 1871 to 1896, often called the ‘Savoy operas’ after 1881, when producer Richard D’Oyly Carte built the Savoy Theatre to house them. They crafted a distinctive genre of English comic opera through parodies of previous genres both high and low, both English and Continental. The operas are absurdist, parodic, and satirical, but are played in a deadpan style and are punctuated with resonantly affecting numbers. The comic operas by Gilbert and Sullivan are an essential precursor of the modern musical, and their depiction of English society is humorous yet critical, replete with satire of English institutions, the law, the professions, gender relations, and empire. They examine the theatricality of everyday life, the dynamics of socialization, accidents of birth and circumstance, the effects of tutelage and authority, Victorian exhibition culture, social class, gender, and nationalism.

Hadith is the main way of life for Muslims besides the Qur'an whose can be applied in everyday life. Hadith also contains all the words or deeds of the Prophet Muhammad which are used as a source of the law of Islam. Therefore, many readers, especially Muslims, are interested in studying hadith. However, the large number of hadiths makes it difficult for readers or those who are still unfamiliar with Islam to read them. Therefore, we conducted a study to classify hadith textually based on the type of teaching, so that readers can get an overview or other reference in reading and searching for hadith based on the type of teaching more easily. This study uses KNN and chi-square methods as feature selection. We also carried out several test scenarios, including implementing stopword removal modifications in preprocessing and experimenting with selecting k values ​​for KNN to determine the best performance. The best performance was obtained by using the value of k = 7 on KNN without implementing chi-square and with stopword removal modification with a hammer loss value of 0.1042 or about 89.58% of the data correctly classified.

This study has revealed an alternative picture of Venetian justice as mild and forgiving, where the full rigour of the law was rarely enforced. Only token punishments were applied to those who submitted to court authority and expressed due contrition, and sentencing was usually adjusted in response to extenuating circumstances, such as the poverty of defendants. It could be justified in legal terms by appealing to the ideals of equity. The permeation of the justice system by private interests is particularly clear in the case of the guilds. Comparing the Giustizia Vecchia with other Venetian courts underlines the importance of distinguishing between two different levels of penal justice: a higher level of ‘serious’ crime; and a lower level of ‘petty’ crime, the practices of everyday life.


Cirrus ◽

The most distinguishing physical property of cirrus (cirrostratus and cirrocumulus) is their composition. Cirrus are made predominantly or wholly of ice, whereas the majority of clouds (both in name and number) are composed of water droplets. That most clouds were composed of water droplets was probably well known to the ancients, who must surely have encountered fog in valleys and mountains. Yet the presence of ice in cirrus is not easily experienced in everyday life. To answer the question Who discovered that cirrus are made of ice? we have to trace developments in meteorology back almost 2500 years. Anaxagoras of Clazomenae (c. 500-428 B.C.) might have deduced that cirrus were made of ice. Using an inductive approach based on measurements and observations, Anaxagoras knew that clouds were made of water and that air was colder aloft. He believed that warm, moist air convected upward and that the water vapor cooled, condensed, and ultimately froze at great heights to become hail. We do not know if Anaxagoras considered cirrus explicitly because what little is left of his writings do not mention any cloud recognizable as cirrus (Gershenson and Greenberg 1964). Two thousand years passed before any substantial progress was made on cirrus. In 1637 Descartes (1596-1650) published Discours de la methode (Descartes 1637) in three parts: Dioptrics, Meteorology, and Geometry. In Dioptrics he set forth the law of refraction (Snell’s law) and in Meteorology he applied the law to the rainbows by performing numerical ray traces. Although he almost certainly knew the principle of minimum deviation, there is nothing in his writings that explicitly refers to it. In the ninth discourse on Meteorology, Descartes conjectures that the common 22° halo was due to refraction through ice crystals. . . . around the heavenly bodies there sometimes appear certain circles . . . they are round . . . and always surround the sun or some other heavenly body . . . they are colored, which shows that there is refraction. But the circles are never seen where it rains, which shows that they are not caused by the refraction which occurs in drops of water or in hail, but by that which is caused in those small little stars of transparent ice . . . those that we have observed most often have had their diameters at around 45° . . . (Olscamp 1965) . . .
