Separation of church and state in the United States
In 1962, the Supreme Court addressed the issue of officially-sponsored prayer or religious recitations in public schools. In Engel v. Vitale, 370 U.S. 421 (1962), the Court, by a vote of 6-1, determined it unconstitutional for state officials to compose an official school prayer and require its recitation in public schools, even when the prayer is non-denominational and students may excuse themselves from participation. (The prayer required by the New York State Board of Regents prior to the Court's decision consisted of: "Almighty God, we acknowledge our dependence upon Thee, and we beg Thy blessings upon us, our parents, our teachers, and our country. Amen.") As the Court stated:
School prayer
Use of the Regent's prayer would be initially upheld in both New York State Court and in the New York Court of Appeals, prompting Engels to petition the US Supreme Court in the Engel v. Vitale case in 1962. With its 8 -- 1 vote to make public recitation of the Regents' Prayer in public schools unlawful, the U.S. Supreme Court made its first - ever decision on prayer in public schools. It made its second in 1963 -- the Abington School District v. Schempp ruling, which made the corporate reading of the Bible and recitation of the Lord's Prayer unlawful in public schools.

Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep
Perhaps the earliest version was written by Joseph Addison in an essay appearing in The Spectator on 8th March 1711. It says:
Shema Yisrael
Shema Yisrael (or Sh'ma Yisrael; Hebrew: שְׁמַע יִשְׂרָאֵל ‬; ``Hear, (O) Israel '') are the first two words of a section of the Torah, and is the title (better known as The Shema) of a prayer that serves as a centerpiece of the morning and evening Jewish prayer services. The first verse encapsulates the monotheistic essence of Judaism:`` Hear, O Israel: the LORD our God, the LORD is one'' (Hebrew: שְׁמַע יִשְׂרָאֵל יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ יְהוָה אֶחָֽד ׃ ‬), found in Deuteronomy 6: 4, sometimes alternatively translated as ``The LORD is our God, the LORD is one. ''Observant Jews consider the Shema to be the most important part of the prayer service in Judaism, and its twice - daily recitation as a mitzvah (religious commandment). It is traditional for Jews to say the Shema as their last words, and for parents to teach their children to say it before they go to sleep at night.
Triad Wars
Triad Wars is a cancelled open world online multiplayer video game developed by United Front Games in conjunction with Square Enix London Studios and published by Square Enix. It is a spin-off to the 2012 video game "Sleeping Dogs" and the second installment in the "Sleeping Dogs" series. The game had more traditional multiplayer online game elements than "Sleeping Dogs", with the central goal being to "rise to power as a criminal kingpin of the Triad underworld." It featured the same map as the original "Sleeping Dogs".
One Hundred and One Dalmatians
Originally released to theaters on January 25, 1961, by Buena Vista Distribution, One Hundred and One Dalmatians was a box office success, pulling the studio out of the financial slump caused by Sleeping Beauty, a costlier production released two years prior. Aside from its box office revenue, its commercial success was due to the employment of inexpensive animation techniques -- such as using xerography during the process of inking and painting traditional animation cels -- that kept production costs down. It was reissued to cinemas four times in 1969, 1979, 1985 and 1991. The 1991 reissue was the twentieth highest earning film of the year for domestic earnings. It was remade into a live action film in 1996.
Jack and the Beanstalk
Jack climbs the beanstalk twice more. He learns of other treasures and steals them when the giant sleeps: first a goose that lays golden eggs, then a magic harp that plays by itself. The giant wakes when Jack leaves the house with the harp and chases Jack down the beanstalk. Jack calls to his mother for an axe and before the giant reaches the ground, cuts down the beanstalk, causing the giant to fall to his death.

Slow-wave sleep
Slow - wave sleep (SWS), often referred to as deep sleep, consists of stage three (combined stages 3 and 4) of non-rapid eye movement sleep. Initially, SWS consisted of both Stage 3, which has 20 - 50 percent delta wave activity, and Stage 4, which has more than 50 percent delta wave activity. However, as of 2008, the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) has discontinued the use of Stage four as a separate stage. Thus, the two stages are now combined as ``Stage three ''or N3. An epoch (30 seconds of sleep) which consists of 20% or more slow - wave (delta) sleep is now considered to be stage three.
