Henry Home, Lord Kames (1696-1782) was a Scottish philosopher of the 18th century. Born in Kames, Berwickshire, he became a barrister and was one of the leaders of the Scottish Enlightenment. In 1752, he was "raised to the bench", thus acquiring the title of Lord Kames. His works included Essays on the Principles of Morality and Natural Religion (1751), Introduction to the Art of Thinking (1761), Elements of Criticism (1762), and Sketches of the History of Man (1776).Source: adapted by the editor from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia under a copyleft GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) from the article "Henry Home, Lord Kames."

Home Computer
- This article discusses the early commercial computers that tended to be used in the home—rather than for commercial purposes—during the 1980s.
- This breed of computer largely died out at the end of the decade (in the United States) or in the early 1990s (in Europe) due to the rise of the IBM PC compatible personal computer.
Home Computer is a consumer-friendly word for the first generation of microcomputers (the technical term that was previously used). The home computer became affordable for the general public due to the development of the silicon chip based microprocessor.
In a manner resembling the expansion of new animal forms in the Cambrian period, large numbers of new machines of all types, including such exotica as the Forth-based Jupiter ACE appeared on the market, and disappeared again. A few types remained for much longer, some, such as the BBC Micro and Commodore 64 still having a devoted following. However by the end of the decade most were squeezed out between the IBM compatible Personal Computer and the newer generations of video game consoles because they each used their own incompatible formats. The IBM revolution was caused by the 1981 release of the IBM PC (5150).
Many of these computers were superficially similar, having a usually very cheap-to-manufacture keyboard integrated into the processor unit and displaying output on a home television. Many used compact audio cassettes as a (notoriously unreliable) storage mechanism since floppy disk drives were very expensive at the time. Cheapness was the order of the day for most of these machines.
Almost all computers employ an operating system (OS) which acts as an interface between the operator and the computer's internal hardware (memory, CPU, etc). Home computers most often had their OS, of which one part was usually a BASIC interpreter, stored in one or more ROM chips. The term software commonly denoted application programs sitting 'above' the OS to perform a specific task, e.g. wordprocessors or games.
As many older computers have become obsolete it has become popular amongst enthusiasts to enable one type of computer to emulate another via the use of emulation software. Thus, many of the operating environments for the computers listed below can be recreated on a modern PC.
The home computer was commonly based on 8-bit microprocessor technology, typically the MOS Technologies 6502 or the Zilog Z80. During the early to mid-1980s a large variety of 8-bit home computers were designed and marketed. These were then gradually supplanted by the PC and its competing 16-bit (Motorola 68000-based) home/personal computers appearing from 1984 onwards.

A house in its most general sense is a human erected structure, consisting of enclosing walls and having a roof. It provides shelter against precipitation, wind, heat, cold and intruding humans and animals. People may be away from home most of the day for work and recreation, but typically are home at least for sleeping.
House painted blueA house generally has at least one entrance, usually in the form of a door or a portal, and may have any number of windows or not at all.
An alternative is living in an apartment in a larger building.
Houses have been used as living quarters for humans since prehistoric times, soon after they left caves, and construction materials, styles and methods of construction have varied wildly over time.
Popular modern house construction techniques include stick-frame construction in areas with abundant wood and rammed-earth construction in arid regions with scarce wood resources.
Early European houses were mere single roomed shacks without windows in which entire families and their cattle lived, keeping the house and each other relatively warm during winter.
Among the first examples (according to the estimated age of archaeological retrievals), notable are the palafittes.

Simpler forms of shelter include a tent, camper, a roof without walls, or a structure with roof and partial walls, such as often at a bus stop (see picture there).
In history, a House is a dynasty, a familiar descendance, often in the sense of Royal House.

John Home (September 22, 1722 - September 5, 1808) was a Scottish poet and dramatist.He was born at Leith, where his father, Alexander Home, a distant relative of the earls of Home, was town clerk. John was educated at the grammar school in Leith, and at the University of Edinburgh, where he graduated MA, in 1742. Though interested in being a soldier, he studied divinity, and was licensed by the presbytery of Edinburgh in 1745. In the same year he joined as a volunteer against Bonnie Prince Charlie, and was taken prisoner at the Battle of Falkirk (1746). With many others he was carried to the castle of Doune in Perthshire, but soon escaped.
In July 1746 Home was presented to the parish of Athelstaneford, Haddingtonshire, left vacant by the death of Robert Blair. He had leisure to visit his friends and became especially intimate with David Home who belonged to the same family as himself. His first play, Agis: a tragedy, founded on Plutarch's narrative, was finished in 1747. He took it to London and submitted it to David Garrick for representation at Drury Lane, but it was rejected as unsuitable for the stage. The tragedy of Douglas was suggested to him by hearing a lady sing the ballad of Gil Morrice or Child Maurice (FJ Child, Popular Ballads, ii. 263). The ballad supplied him with the outline of a simple and striking plot.
After five years, he completed his play and took it to London for Garrick's opinion. It was rejected, but on his return to Edinburgh his friends resolved that it should be produced there. It was performed on December 14 1756 with overwhelming success, in spite of the opposition of the presbytery, who summoned Alexander Carlyle to answer for having attended its representation. Home wisely resigned his charge in 1757, after a visit to London, where Douglas was brought out at Covent Garden on March 14. Peg Woffington played Lady Randolph, a part which found a later exponent in Sarah Siddons. David Hume summed up his admiration for Douglas by saying that his friend possessed "the true theatric genius of Shakespeare and Otway, refined from the unhappy barbarism of the one and licentiousness of the other." Gray, writing to Horace Walpole (August, 1757), said that the author "seemed to have retrieved the true language of the stage, which has been lost for these hundred years," but Samuel Johnson held aloof from the general enthusiasm, and averred that there were not ten good lines in the whole play (Boswell, Life, ed. Croker, 1348, p. 300).
In 1758 Home became private secretary to Lord Bute, then secretary of state, and was appointed tutor to the prince of Wales; and in 1760 his patron's influence procured him a pension of £300 per annum and in 1763 a sinecure worth another £500. Garrick produced Agis at Drury Lane on February 21 1758. By dint of good acting and powerful support, according to Genest, the play lasted for eleven days, but it was lamentably inferior to Douglas. In 1760 his tragedy, The Siege of Aquileia, was put on the stage, Garrick taking the part of Aemilius. In 1769 another tragedy, The Fatal Discovery ran for nine nights; Alonzo also (1773) had fair success; but his last tragedy, Alfred (1778), was so coolly received that he gave up writing for the stage.
In 1778 he joined a regiment formed by the Duke of Buccleuch. He sustained severe injuries in a fall from horseback which permanently affected his brain, and was persuaded by his friends to retire. From 1767 he resided either at Edinburgh or at a villa which he built at Kilduff near his former parish. It was at this time that he wrote his History of the Rebellion of 1745, which appeared in 1802. Home died at Merchist,on Bank, near Edinburgh, in his eighty-sixth year.
The Works of John Home were collected and published by Henry Mackenzie in 1822 with "An Account of the Life and Writings of Mr John House," which also appeared separately in the same year, but several of his smaller poems seem to have escaped the editor's observation. These are--"The Fate of Caesar," "Verses upon Inveraray," "Epistle to the Earl of Eglintoun," "Prologue on the Birthday of the Prince of Wales, 1759" and several "Epigrams," which are printed in vol. ii. of Original Poems by Scottish Gentlemen (1762). See also Sir W Scott, "The Life and Works of John Home" in the Quarterly Review (June, 1827). Douglas is included in numerous collections of British drama. Voltaire published his Le Gaffe, ou l'Ecossaise (1760), Londres (really Geneva), as a translation from the work of Hume, described as pasteur de l'église d'Edimbourg, but Home seems to have taken no notice of the mystification.
