Kura (administrative Division)
Kura or Koura ( ar, كورة) was a term used by Muslims to describe the political administrative units of Egypt, equivalent to the nomes of pre-Islamic times. These administrative units are smaller than the modern governorates of Egypt. In Egypt The Arabized word is of Greek origin ( gr, χώρα; la, chora), meaning "territory" or "province". The is not exactly the same as the ancient pagarchy, because the refers to an administrative unit in general, while the pagarchy is a religious administrative unit. The Arabs also kept the names of these units, citing their Coptic origin, which was taken from the Pharaonic origin (not the Roman or Greek), after they distorted some of them and translated others in accordance with the Arabic language. Ibn Duqmaq mentioned in his book ''Al-Intisar li-Wasita Aqd al-Amsar'' that the 33 s of Lower Egypt included the s of al-Hawf al-Sharqi, which are:Ibn Duqmaq, ''الانتصار لوساطة عقد الأمصار,'' The Grand Printing ...

Khôra
''Khôra'' (also ''chora''; grc, χώρα) was the territory of the Ancient Greek ''polis'' outside the city proper. The term has been used in philosophy by Plato to designate a receptacle (as a "third kind" 'triton genos'' ''Timaeus'' 48e4), a space, a material substratum, or an interval. In Plato's account, ''khôra'' is described as a formless interval, alike to a non-being, in between which the "Forms" were received from the intelligible realm (where they were originally held) and were "copied", shaping into the transitory forms of the sensible realm; it "gives space" and has maternal overtones (a womb, matrix):So likewise it is right that the substance which is to be fitted to receive frequently over its whole extent the copies of all things intelligible and eternal should itself, of its own nature, be void of all the forms. Wherefore, let us not speak of her that is the Mother and Receptacle of this generated world, which is perceptible by sight and all the senses, by the na ...

Chora (software)
Horde is a free web-based groupware. The components of this groupware rest on the Horde framework. This PHP-based framework provides all the elements required for rapid web application development. Horde offers applications such as the Horde IMP email client, a groupware package (calendar, notes, tasks, file manager), a wiki and a time and task tracking software. History The Horde framework evolved from the IMP (Internet Messaging Project) webmail that Chuck Hagenbuch published on Freshmeat in 1998. A constant stream of feature requests not all fitting for a webmail application led to the development of a more generic web application backbone: the Horde framework. The first announcement on Freshmeat was version 1.3.3 at the beginning of 2001. The release of Horde 2.0 and IMP 3.0 was the first one with two truly separate components. Horde as a generic web application framework primarily supported the webmail as well as a set of groupware applications by the time Horde 3.0 wa ...
