Here are the key points about assembly operator starvation from the passage:
- Starving refers to when an assembly operator finishes their assigned work on a work unit within the allotted time, but does not receive the next unit at their station.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
Communicating effectively and consistently with students can help them feel at ease during their learning experience and provide the instructor with a communication trail to track the course's progress. This workshop will take you through constructing an engaging course container to facilitate effective communication.

blood.
18. • The Novel is part of the exploration of alternative religious

ancient called it – [ chapter – 20, pg. 132]
25.
26.
27.
28. The symbol of SATAN : The
BAPHOMET
• While some may argue the pentagram is not inherently evil,
there exists one symbol that none can dispute it’s innate evil
the Baphomet. The Baphomet is normally represented as a
goat’s head in the shape of a pentagram. The Baphomet has
no equal in the hellish halls of Satanism.
• The Baphomet is usually symbolized as a pentagram with a
goat’s head drawn within the pentagram.

common symbol of procreation and fecundity. The Templars
honored Baphomet by encircling a stone replica of his head

37. The last Supper
• At the heart of Brown’s novel is the story that
Da Vinci hid a major clue in his masterpiece THE
LAST SUPPER.
• On reexamining the painting. It’s discovered that
sitting at Jesus’ right hand is Mary Magdalene,
not as is commonly believed, the apostle John.
• In Addition, the famous cup from which christ
drank, The Holy Grail, is conspicuously left out
of the painting.
38. Mona Lisa
• Another clue in the novel is seen in one of da
Vinci’s MONA LISA which langdon states is an
expression of the artist’s belief in the sacred
feminine.
• The conclusion drawn is that Mona Lisa is not
any particular person , but a cryptic reference
to the Egyptian gods Amon and Isis. “Mona”
is an anagram of Amon ad “Lisa” a
contraction of I’Isa, ,meaning Isis.
39. The Blade
• Blade is symbolic of Male.
• It regards Symbology of the Grail: original
sign for a male was ‘U.
• It represents aggression and Manhood.
40. Fibonacci Sequences
• The Fibonacci sequences describes a natural growth
pattern common to all life, as seen in the structure of a
nautilus shell.

the many dues left behind by Jacques Sauniere, the
Louvre curator.

cryptologist granddaughter.
• It’s only later discovered that Sauniere’s deposit box
account number at the Zurich bank is the Fibonacci
sequence numbers, arranged in the correct order.

• In this article told about the mysterious gaze of the Mona Lisa, a museum
curator is gunned down. The gunman is a towering albino monk, but police
suspect the murderer is a Harvard professor of religious symbols and art. The
professor embarks on a journey through ancient history art, and the Bible, and
the discovery of dangerous truths hidden for 2,000 years secrets, that if
revealed, could “devastate the very foundation of Christianity.” “The DA Vinci
Code” is of course, fiction but readers are told right from the start that all
description of artwork, architecture, documents and secret rituals in this novel
are accurate. Also told about Jesus and Mary Magdalene.The monk kills the
curator in a quest for the legendary Holy Grail, a mythical vessel often thought
of as the cup that Jesus drank from at the Last Supper. To understand that secret
and to separate fact from fiction in The Da Vinci Code we pieced together a
portrait of he novel’s key figure, a woman who lived 2,000 years ago: Mary
Magdalene.

• In this article told about Leonardo Da Vinvi. His notes had tens of thousands of
drawings, ranging from tiny rough sketches to very carefully composed
presentation drawing. Printing at the time could not deal seriously with complex
technical and scientific drawings. By the time the technology had begun to catch
up, namely in the 1540s, Leonardo was dead, and his student Francesco Melzi
wasa getting order. He also talked about society (“printing at the time could not

<https://www.jstor.org/stable/27665219?seq=1>.
• The novel is the best known work of theology fiction. Sales have passed the twenty million
mark and a film, starring Tom Hanks, is in the pipeline. However, mark and a film, starring
Tom Hanks, is in the pipeline. However, many of its readers, while coming for the
entertainment, are taking its historical and theological assertions for real. Brown himself
fostered these illusions by placing at the beginning of his text a page in enlarged print
entitled ‘Fact’. These ‘facts’ include assertions that all descriptions of artwork, architecture,
documents and secret rituals in the novel are accurate, and that the “ Priory of Sion” is a
real organization. Theology fiction can appear either in the form of a novel or as pseudo
academic work. Both involve revelations that are designed to startle rather than
enlighten., such as the existence of cover up by Church authorities of the real truth about
Jesus,his mother Mary and the early development of the Christian community. Or one can
be told of ominous message concealed within the text of the Hebrew Bible. Elements of
science fiction are sometimes added. However, neither science fiction as such nor fantasy
writings such as Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings are included here. Some theological
questions and answers are given in this article.
• Was Jesus married to Mary Magdalene?
• Did Jesus Intend in the Magdalene to lead his Church?
• Was Jesus Recognized as divine only in the fourth century?

• Bibliography
• Benjamin, Olshin B. Sophistical Devices: Leonardo Da Vinci's Investigations of
Perpetual Motion. 2009. <https://www.jstor.org/stable/23787091?seq=1>.
• In this article told about Leonardo’s drawings. His drawings are very well known
but they are not necesssarily well understood. Leonardo used the pages of his
notebooks as a method of visual thinking, to investigate and work out problems
in everything from mechanics to hydraulics. Leonardo used this same method to
investigate the possibility or impossibility of perpatual motion. In many of the
folio pages, we find pictures and texts dealing with a range of designs for
perpetual motion machines powered by weights or water. This papers examins
Leonardo’s investigations of the belief in perpetual motion, a belief that already
had a long history by the time he began his studies. Finallly , this paper reveals
that Leonardo carried out his investigations in a detailed and systematic, if at
times episodic, manner over a period of years. It also argues that he used his folio
drawings to both depict perpetual motion devices and to articulate the problems
and impossibilities that such schemes presesnted.

Psychobiographic_Study_on_Leonardos_Religious_Identity>.
• Laonardo da vinci is a mysterious figure whose name arouses curiosity and stirs
controversy. His religious identity in particular has been a matter of an
overlooked archival record about Leonardo’s travel to the East with the
implication of his conversation to the “Mohammedan” faith that puts a new spin
on the controversy developed around the name of Leonardo and stimulates our
curiocity further. The details of this largely unknown journey are so rich that they
compel us to reconsider some claims of The Da Vinci Code, especially in relation
to Leonardo’s religious identity. Thus , guided by an Eriksonian insight, this study
re examines the life of Leonardo by analyzing some psycho social issues in his
young adult years. This essay brings forth various biographical data that points to
a tragic life of a young outcast who was estranged from his community: a talented
artist who was unappreciated and unemployed; and an eccentric free spirit in
total crisis of identity.

• this essay deals with the representation of women in The Da Vinci Code. The
ponts tackled within this work are the ways that the writer used to portray
women. These women have been presented as characters who are empowered
as strong women either being depicted as educated members of society or
holding important jobs like keeper of important institutions as a church or an
agent of DCPJ, a job where smartness is a prerequisite. There are many symbols
like the Mona Lisa that are used in order to convey Brown’s idea abut women
empowerment. The theme of gender equality was also explored as the
protagonists were a man and a woman. In the first chapter, the reader will be
introduced to a movement often misunderstood, namely Feminism, as well as the
different waves of feminism, feminist literary criticism and a brief explanation of
Feminist theology. The second chapter is a Feminist analysis of the different
elements in The Da Vinci Code with particular interest on the empowerment and
marginalisation of women.

• In this research paper we can find the analysis of ccontroversial novel entitled
The Da Vinci Code. This research aims to discover how Sophie Neveu’s effort’s
and struggles are to uncover her family’s secret, and how the influences of her
efforts and struggles on male domination and female subordination. This
research uses liberal feminism theory based on Rosemary Tong’s classification.
Tong classifies liberal feminism into some parts. They are the equal education,
freedom, politics, sexuality and economy, and the similarities and differences
between women and men. Liberal feminism brings the equal right between
women and men. We can see Sophie’s struggles to uncover her family secret are
paid worthy by finding her lost family’s secret. And also Sophie as the descendant
of Jesus and Mary Magdalene makes the Holy Grail seeker become confused to
decide the right decision whether to reveal the Holy Grail secret or not. Sophie’s
struggle to find out her family secret and to break the mystery of Holy Grail
describe women’s struggles to reach the right she deserves.

women. 15 july 2008.
<https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/15295030802192004>.
• The public outcry prompted by The da Vinci Code (TDVC) accused the novel of
being a “radical feminist” text with potentially dangerous implications for
Christianity. The novel celebrates women, the “sacred feminine,” and “goddess
worship,” which, on one level, gives it ideological kinship with the important
tradition of difference or cultural feminism. This analysis, however, argues that
the novel undercuts its feminist moves through its persistent recourse to the
private sphere and its unremitting celebration of the biological. The narrative falls
victim to the problem that commonly inheres in difference/cultural feminism: it
reifies the binary system of gender as well as the resulting heterosexuality.
Through these anti-feminist impulses, TDVC makes plain that celebrating women
does not always make for feminist progress. Instead, TDVC highlights the dangers
inherent in cultural/difference feminism. Finally, situated within its religious
context, TDVC demonstrates the possibility for feminism's co-optation by moral
reform politics.

• In this article we can find the movie review of The Da Vinci Code by Roger
Ebert. What Ron Howard brings to the material is tone and style, and an
aura of mystery that is undeniable. He begins right at the top; Columbia
pictures logo falls into shadow as Hans Zimmer’s music sounds
simultaneously liturgicul and ominous. The movie involving , intringuing
and constantly seems on the edge of startling revelations. After it’s over
and we were back on the street, we wonder why this crucial secret
needed to be protected by the equivalent of a brain- twister puzzle
crossed with a scavenger hunt. The trail that Robert and Sophie follow is
so difficult and convoluted that it seems impossible that anyone, including
them, could over follow it. The secret needs to be protected up to a point;
beyond that it is absolutely lost, and the whole point of protecting it is
beside the point.
