Conch
Conch (/ˈkɒŋk/ or sometimes /ˈkɒntʃ/) is a common name that is applied to a number of different medium to large-sized sea snails or their shells. The term generally applies to large snails whose shell has a high spire and a noticeable siphonal canal (in other words, the shell comes to a noticeable point at both ends).
The group of conchs that are sometimes referred to as "true conchs" are marine gastropod molluscs in the family Strombidae, specifically in the genus Strombus and other closely related genera. For example, see Lobatus gigas, the queen conch, and Laevistrombus canarium, the dog conch.
Many other species are also often called "conch", but are not at all closely related to the family Strombidae, including Melongena species (family Melongenidae), and the horse conch Pleuroploca gigantea (family Fasciolariidae). Species commonly referred to as conchs also include the sacred chank or more correctly shankha shell (Turbinella pyrum) and other Turbinella species in the family Turbinellidae.
Conch (SSH)
Conch is an implementation of the secure shell (SSH) protocol written in the Python programming language. SSH is a protocol designed to allow remote access to shells and commands. Conch can be used to implement both the client and server sides of this protocol.
By using a high-level language like Python, Conch avoids a whole class of potential security problems that implementations such as OpenSSH have to deal with. Additionally, Conch uses the Twisted networking framework to offset the need for forking or threading, resulting in a performance boost and reducing memory usage.
Conch was developed by Paul Swartz. It is interoperable with OpenSSH. Conch can be used with Unix/Linux systems and with Microsoft Windows. It is available as part of the Twisted framework.

Semi-dome
A semi-dome, also called a "half-dome", is the term in architecture for half a dome ("cut" vertically), used to cover a semi-circular area. Similar structures occur in nature.
Architecture
Semi-domes are a common feature of apses in Ancient Roman and traditional church architecture, and mosques and iwans in Islamic architecture.
A semi-dome, or the whole apse, may also be called a conch after the scallop shell often carved as decoration of the semi-dome (all shells were conches in Ancient Greek), though this is usually used for subsidiary semi-domes, rather than the one over the main apse. Small semi-domes have been often decorated in a shell shape from ancient times, as in Piero della Francesca's Throned Madonna with saints and Federigo da Montefeltro, and the example in the gallery below. Islamic examples may use muqarnas decorative corbelling, while in Late Antique, Byzantine and medieval church architecture the semi-dome is the classic location for a focal mosaic, or later fresco.

Until This Day
by: KenotiaWhen you know, you know, I know
With you I'm going to go somewhere I've never been
But it's where I want to be, I breathe easy for the
first time
I never got much out of this life,
Never saw myself in someone's eyes until this day
Never had the things I really wanted,
Never had the things that people flaunted
Until this day with you
I can't explain just how changed how I see myself now,
it's amazing
I never want this feeling to leave me
Please don't ever leave me
I never got much out of this life,
Never saw myself in someone's eyes until this day
Never had the things I really wanted,
Never had the things that people flaunted
Until this day with you
I never saw this coming on
And now that it's here I won't let go
This could save me
I never got much out of this life,
Never saw myself in someone's eyes until this day
Never had the things I really wanted,
Never had the things that people flaunted
Until this day with you
I know this is the best thing for me
