Mechanics' Union Of Trade Associations
The Mechanics' Union of Trade Associations (also known as The Mechanics' Union or MUTA) was an American trade union founded in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1827. Origin During the winter of 1826–1827, more than 800 Philadelphians were jailed in a debtors' prison as a consequence of not having paid off their loans. One anonymous prisoner working from his prison cell wrote an open letter, "To the Mechanics and Working-Men of the Fifth Ward, and those friendly to their Interests," describing the difficult work conditions suffered by working-class Philadelphians. The letter inspired a few outspoken writers to publish a widely circulated article demanding the working time, workday be cut from twelve hours to ten hours. In June 1827, carpenters in Philadelphia struck for a 10-hour workday, agreeing to no reduction in wages.

Mut'ah Of Hajj
The "mut'ah of Hajj" ("hajj al-tamattu", meaning "joy of Hajj") is the relaxation of the ihram ("sacred state") between the Umrah and Hajj, including its dress code and various prohibitions. History When arranging a pilgrimage, the participant is asked to declare their objective before the outset of the journey. If the pilgrimage begins with only the intention of it being a minor one and the pilgrim decides after starting it that it will be a major one, they need to go a certain distance away from Mecca, and then start a new pilgrimage, intending to do the greater one. Muhammad decreed that Umrah and Hajj can be combined, i.e.: starting a pilgrimage with the intention of participating in both events. Overview There exist two forms of pilgrimage, the "minor pilgrimage "(Arabic ''Umrah'') and the "major pilgrimage" (Arabic ''Hajj''). The major one contains more rules, and is obligatory upon all Muslims (if they can afford it financially, but if they can not afford it financially i ...

Muta (deity)
Larunda (also Larunde, Laranda, Lara) was a naiad nymph, daughter of the river Almo and mother of the Lares Compitalici, guardians of the crossroads and the city of Rome. In Ovid's ''Fasti'' she is named Lara.Ovid, '' Fasti 2''V. 599 Myth The only known mythography attached to Larunda is little, late and poetic, in Ovid's ''Fasti''. Ovid names her Lara, an excessively loquacious river-nymph, daughter of the river-god Almo. Ignoring parental advice to curb her tongue, she betrays Jupiter's secret, adulterous affair with the nymph Juturna, wife of Janus, to his own wife, Juno. Jupiter wrenches out Lara's tongue and orders Mercury, psychopomp and god of boundaries and transitions, to conduct her to the "infernal marshes" of Avernus, the gateway to the Underworld, the dismal realm of Pluto. Along the way, Mercury rapes her, despite her pleading glances. Mute (Latin ''muta'') and silent (Latin ''tacita''), she thus conceives the divine Lares, twin guardians of crossroads and the ...
