Hula Valley
The Hula Valley ( he, עמק החולה, translit. ''Emek Ha-Ḥula''; also transliterated as Huleh Valley, ar, سهل الحولة) is an agricultural region in northern Israel with abundant fresh water, which used to be Lake Hula, prior to its draining. It is a major stopover for birds migrating along the Syrian-African Rift Valley between Africa, Europe, and Asia. Lake Hula and the marshland surrounding it were a breeding ground for mosquitoes carrying malaria, and so were drained in the 1950s. A small section of the valley was later re-flooded in an attempt to revive a nearly extinct ecosystem. An estimated 500 million migrating birds now pass through the Hula Valley every year. Etymology Lake Hula was historically referred to by different names. The 14th century BCE Egyptians called the lake ''Samchuna'', while the Hebrew Bible records it as ''Merom''. In the 1st century CE, the Jewish-Roman historian Flavius Josephus termed it ''Semechonitis'' ( el, Σημεχωνί� ...

Merom (microprocessor)
''Merom'' is the code name for various Intel processors that are sold as Core 2 Duo, Core 2 Solo, Pentium Dual-Core and Celeron. It was the first mobile processor to be based on the Core microarchitecture, replacing the Enhanced Pentium M-based Yonah processor. Merom has the product code 80537, which is shared with ''Merom-2M'' and ''Merom-L'' that are very similar but have a smaller L2 cache. Merom-L has only one processor core and a different CPUID model. The desktop version of Merom is Conroe and the dual-socket server version is Woodcrest. Merom was manufactured in a 65 nanometer process, and was succeeded by Penryn, a 45 nm version of the Merom architecture. Together, Penryn and Merom represented the first 'tick-tock' in Intel's Tick-Tock manufacturing paradigm, in which Penryn was the 'tick' (new process) to Merom's 'tock' (new architecture). Variants Merom Merom, the first mobile version of the Core 2, was officially released on July 27, 2006, but quietly began ...

Meiron
Meiron ( ar, ميرون, ''Mayrûn''; he, מירון הקדומה) was a Palestinian village, located west of Safad. Associated with the ancient Canaanite city of ''Merom'', excavations at the site have found extensive remains from the Hellenistic and Early Roman periods. The remains include a 3rd-century synagogue, and Meiron served as a prominent local religious centre at the time. From the 13th century onward, Meiron was a popular site for Jewish pilgrims.Vilnay, 2003, p. 389. During Ottoman rule in Palestine, the Jewish population fluctuated considerably, with at least two thirds of the population being Arab Muslims. Landownership in the village was nonetheless split almost evenly between Arabs and Jews. Depopulated in two waves over the course of the 1948 Arab-Israeli war, the moshav of Meron was founded in its place in 1949 by Israeli soldiers who fought in that war. History Bronze and Iron Ages The association of Meiron with the ancient Canaanite city of ''Merom'' or ...
