The museum presents the story of Modiin from the time of the Hasmonean Family till the establishment of the modern city.
Many archeological artifacts have been found in the Modi'in area, revealing its rich and glorious historical past.
At 1:55 a.m. EDT (0555 UTC) on Sept. 10, the MODIS instrument aboard NASA's Aqua satellite looked at Hurricane Florence in infrared light. MODIS found coldest cloud tops (red) had temperatures near minus 70 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 56.6 degrees Celsius) in the northern and western eyewall.

Mille modi veneris; simplex minimique laboris,
Cum iacet in dextrum semisupina latus.
[Ars III, 787 – 788]
“There’s a thousand ways to do it: simple and least effort, is just to lie there half-turned on your right side.”
Mirror cover decorated with erotic scene. The two naked protagonists, lying on a richly decorated bed, are making sex in an elegant alcove. They are engaged in one of the “mille modi veneris” - “the thousand positions of love” - that Ovid, as a good tutor, describes at the end of the 3rd book of his work "Ars Amatoria". Among the furnishings in the room, you can see, behind the two lovers, a panel decorated with a different example of the “mille modi veneris”.
Nota sibi sit quaeque: modos a corpore certos
Sumite: non omnes una figura decet.
Quae facie praesignis erit, resupina iaceto:
Spectentur tergo, quis sua terga placent.
Milanion umeris Atalantes crura ferebat: 775
Si bona sunt, hoc sunt accipienda modo.
Parva vehatur equo: quod erat longissima, numquam
Thebais Hectoreo nupta resedit equo.
Strata premat genibus, paulum cervice reflexa,
Femina per longum conspicienda latus. 780
Cui femur est iuvenale, carent quoque pectora menda,
Stet vir, in obliquo fusa sit ipsa toro.
Nec tibi turpe puta crinem, ut Phylleia mater,
Solvere, et effusis colla reflecte comis.
[Ars III, 773 – 782],
“Let each girl know herself: adopt a reliable posture for her body, one posture is not suitable for all. If a woman has a lovely face, let her lie upon her back: let her back be seen, she who’s back delights. Milanion bore Atalanta’s legs on his shoulders: if your legs are as beautiful as hers, put them in the same position. Let the small be carried by a horse: Andromache, his Theban bride, was too tall to straddle Hector’s horse. Let a woman noted for her length of body, press the bed with her knees, arch her neck slightly. She who has youthful thighs, and faultless breasts, the man might stand, she spread, with her body downwards. Don’t think it shameful to loosen your hair, like a Maenad, and throw back your head with its flowing tresses.”

Once serving as part of the floor for a much larger Lake Chad, the area now known as the Bodele Depression, located at the southern edge of the Sahara Desert in north central Africa, is slowly being transformed into a desert landscape. In the mid-1960s, Lake Chad was about the size of Lake Erie. But persistent drought conditions coupled with increased demand for freshwater for irrigation have reduced Lake Chad to about 5 percent of its former size. As the waters receded, the silts and sediments resting on the lakebed were left to dry in the scorching African sun. The small grains of the silty sand are easily swept up by the strong wind gusts that occasionally blow over the region. Once heaved aloft, the Bodele dust can be carried for hundreds or even thousands of kilometers.
The remnants of Lake Chad appear as the olive-green feature set amid the tan and light brown hues of the surrounding landscape where the countries of Chad, Niger, Nigeria, and Cameroon all share borders. The Bodele Depression was the source of some very impressive dust storms that swept over West Africa and the Cape Verde Islands in early February.
These true-color images were acquired by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on February 7, and February 11, 2004. Numerous fires are shown as red dots in the February 7 images.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has applauded Prime Minister Narendra Modi's style of working, using the social networking platform extensively to establish a meaningful dialogue between the people and the government.
Mr Zuckerberg's praise comes at a crucial timing, when five states of India are conducting elections.
PM Modi recently asked his ministers to share their meetings and information on the Facebook so that they can receive direct feedback from citizens, the Facebook CEO wrote in a 5,700-word post on its "Community Standard" Page.

NASA satellites constantly monitor fire activity on Earth and 2012 was a big year for fire in North America. This visualization represents a compilation of the active fires detected by the MODIS instrument on board the Terra and Aqua satellites from Jan. 1 through Oct. 31, 2012.
Smaller agricultural fires in the southeast United States and Mexico appear to dominate the scene, but the big story of the year was large wildfires. Bright yellow on the map shows areas that are more intense and have a larger area that is actively burning, flaming and/or smoldering, including some of the major wildfires of the year.

NASA image captured by MODIS on the Aqua satellite on April 2, 2010.
A number of fires dot Cuba in this image, captured by the MODIS on the Aqua satellite on April 2, 2010. The fires are marked in red; some of them show smoke plumes, like the one near the eastern part ofthe island.. Most likely this is a mix of relatively small and are likely to be a mixture of prescribed and wild fires.
The waters in this image are jewel-like: turquoise, bright blue, and emerald green near the islands, as well as the deeper blue of the Gulf of Mexico (left) and the Atlantic Ocean (right). The brighter colors surrounding the Bahamas (the islands north of Cuba) are caused by the relatively shallow waters over the Little and Great Bahama Banks, which are shelves of land that were submerged as the continental glaciers of the last ice age melted. The brightly-colored waters around Cuba and Florida’s tip (visible at the top of the image) could be a consequence of shallow waters, but could also be colored by a larger presence of microscopic marine organisms, such as algae and phytoplankton, which lend a darker-green tinge to the water.
