Week five - Tutorial task

Where was the first university established and in what year? 

 "A woman by the name of Fatima Fihriyya founded the University of ‘Al-Qarawiyyin’ in the year 245 A.H. in the middle of the 9th Century C.E.

Al-Qarawiyyin is a central mosque located in the old city of Fez, Morocco whose name, ‘Jami’ Al-Qarawiyyin,’ means ‘The Central Mosque of the Townspeople.’
The role of the university historically wasn’t merely religious. Rather, it has played a cultural, social, and political role in educating, directing, and reforming the lives of the individuals of the Muslim world community.
Al-Qarawiyyin is also argued to be the first ‘university’ in the world ever to be established, which rivals Azhar University of Cairo, Egypt in this claim. Al-Qarawiyyin gave birth not just to religious scholars. It also at one time in its history produced great jurists, hadith specialists, historians, mathematicians, time observation experts, astronomers, physicians, ascetics, doctors of literature, language, and poets."

•  Weight is 45,500 tons (that's equivalent to a bumper to bumper line of jeeps 80 miles long)

•  It took 5 years to design and manufacture at a cost of $100 million

•  Maximum digging speed is 10 meters per minute

Can move more than 76,000 cubic meters of coal, rock, and earth per day.

Since there are no hotels in Antarctica, the only way to stay the night there, if you are not camping, is to sleep in the boat you came in. There are cruise ships going there, and they are the only places you'll find food and beds.
I used yahoo.com for this search.
