Apollo 13 was the seventh mission of NASA's Project Apollo. It was the third lunar-lander mission with a crew. Jim Lovell commanded Apollo 13. The other astronauts were Jack Swigert and Fred Haise.

The craft launched successfully toward the Moon, but two days after launch a faulty oxygen tank exploded. It damaged the Service Module. It lost oxygen and electrical power. There was a very large chance that the astronauts would die before they could return to Earth. They were very short on oxygen. Oxygen is not just used to breathe; on the Apollo spacecraft it was used in a device called a Fuel cell to generate electricity. So they saved their remaining air by turning off almost all their electrical equipment, for example heaters. It became very cold in the spacecraft.

The astronauts also had to move into the Apollo Lunar Module to survive and use it as lifeboat.
When they approached the Earth they were not sure that their parachutes, needed to slow the Command Module down, would work. The parachutes were thrown out by small explosive charges that were fired by batteries. The cold could have made the batteries fail, so the parachutes would not work and the Command Module would hit the ocean so fast that all aboard would be killed.

The flight 

Apollo launched on April 11, 1970 at 19:13 UTC from Cape Canaveral and went into temporary low Earth orbit. Two hours later they fired the rocket motor again to go towards the Moon. They wanted to land at Fra Mauro. Despite the hardships, the crew made it back to Earth. Though the crew did not land on the Moon, the flight became very well known.

Some people thought it was a failure because they did not land on the Moon. However, others thought it was possibly the National Aeronautics and Space Administrations' (NASA's) greatest accomplishment in returning three men in a very damaged spacecraft back to Earth safely.
Coming up to re-entry, it was thought that the electrical equipment would short circuit because the water in the astronauts' breath had turned back into a liquid all over the computers. However, the electronics were fine.

Books were written about the event, for example one by Jim Lovell, the commander of the mission. A movie was also made about it, directed by Ron Howard and starring Tom Hanks.

The Palace of Westminster, also known as the Houses of Parliament or Westminster Palace, in London, is where the two Houses of the Parliament of the United Kingdom meet.

In 1605, Guy Fawkes attempted to blow the Palace up.  He was caught and later executed.  This was called the Gunpowder Plot, and is celebrated on 5 November every year.

The original building was used as a palace and home to the Parliament of England. After a fire in 1834, the building was used as a Parliament building.

Westminster Palace, Westminster Abbey and Saint Margaret's Church make up a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Westminster Palace is an example of Gothic Revival architecture.

The building is in bad shape.  There have been falling stonework, 10 fires, and an incident of potential asbestos exposure since 2020. There are leaking pipes and a serious risk of fire.  The water, electric, sewage and gas pipes need to be replaced. To do this work the politicians would have to move to somewhere else.

V for Vendetta is a 2005 drama movie set in London. The main people who are in it include Hugo Weaving as the character V and Natalie Portman as Evey Hammond.  It was written by the Wachowskis and directed by James McTeigue.  It is based on Alan Moore's graphic novel V for Vendetta.  Moore did not like most movies about his work.  He asked that his name not appear on it. The movie is set in a dystopian future United Kingdom of the year 2020, which has become a totalitarian fascist dictatorship.

Plot 
It started Evey Hammond going out to see a co-worker named Gordon Deitrich.  It is past curfew and she will get in trouble if she gets caught.  As she walks, she is stopped by three police officers.  She is about to be harmed when V, a man who wears a Guy Fawkes mask, comes in and rescues her.  He then invites her to a concert.  They go up on the roof.  V waves around and the 1812 Overture begins playing.  Evey is then shocked to see the Old Bailey be destroyed as V laughs.
The next day, V enters the British Television Network (BTN).  He then forces the people there to play a message.  The message goes out to all households.  In the tape, V tells them that they are all to blame for the current state of government.  The government can tape anyone and arrest anyone and people fear it.  He then tells them that he was the one that blew up the Old Bailey and to join him next November 5 if they want to stand up to the government.

The government, meanwhile, has started to pour troops into the BTN.  V fights them off, but is caught.  Evey, who has been hiding, taps the man on the shoulder and sprays him with pepper spray, freeing V.  Evey is knocked out and wakes up inside V's location.  V carried her away because he knew she would be in big trouble for helping him.
After some time, Evey comes to help V.  V wants to kill a priest.  She dresses up like a schoolgirl and goes into the priest's office.  However, she backs out and tells the priest that V wants to kill him.  The priest thinks it's a joke until V bursts in and does so.  Evey runs away to Gordon's house.  Gordon has his own talk show, and one day he decides to make a big joke.  He makes fun of the Chancellor Adam Sutler.  In response, Sutler goes into Gordon's house and arrests him.
Evey tries to escape and is caught.  She is then tortured over many days.  Men plunge her face into water, throw her in a cell, and shave the hair off her head, but she will not tell them any information about V.  Eventually, one of the men tells her that she will be shot behind the barracks if she does not say anything.  Evey says she would rather be shot; she does not have any more fear.  It is then revealed that V was behind the torture and that he wanted her to have no fear.  Evey is angry but soon accepts it.  She later leaves but promises to come back before November 5.
Meanwhile, a Norsefire Party worker named Eric Finch begins to look into the government.  He does not trust it anymore.  He realizes that V is killing everyone who was at a detention camp called Larkhill.  During the movie, V kills the priest, who was at the camp; a general named Lewis Prothero, who is now a talk show host; and Delia Surridge, who was a doctor.  He attempts to find out more information about Larkhill.  In the movie, we learn that V was a prisoner at Larkhill and blew the place up when he escaped.

Eventually, V comes to Finch.  He is disguised and calls himself Rookwood.  He tells them everything that Finch has long thought – that the Norsefire found a plague and decided to infect the people to put them in power.

As November 5 approaches, the city gets restless.  Riots break out.  V gives out thousands of Guy Fawkes masks to people for them to wear on November 5.  A member of the secret police called the "Fingermen" shoots a young girl wearing one of these masks dead.
Evey comes back.  V then shows her what is going to do.  He has loaded explosives into a train that will go underneath the Palace of Westminster.  He then gives her the choice whether to pull the trigger or not.  He then disappears.

V goes to another area, where he finds Peter Creedy, the second-in-command of Norsefire.  Earlier, V made a deal with him: V would turn himself in if Sutler was killed.  Creedy shows Sutler, and then shoots him in the forehead.  He then tells V to surrender, but V says no.  In the final battle, V kills Creedy and all of his men, but is severely wounded himself.  He dies in Evey's arms.
Evey puts him on the train with the explosives.  Finch, who guessed that V would use a train to blow up the Palace, draws a gun and attempts to stop her.  Evey says no.  When Finch asks why, Evey says, "Because this country needs more than a building.  It needs hope."  Finch lowers his gun and allows the train to go.  Because Creedy and Sutler are dead, the army outside the Palace does not know what to do.  The man in charge orders them to stand down, or to put down their weapons and not do anything.  The 1812 Overture begins again, and everyone watches as the Palace of Westminster is destroyed.

The North American video game crash of 1983 was a major event in the history of video games where the North American video game industry had crashed. Many makers of home computers and video game consoles went bankrupt. Many business analysts thought that the video game industry would not last, and the crash lasted for several years. However, the Japanese company Nintendo introduced the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1985, which became very popular in 1987 and ended the crash.

There were several reasons for the crash, but the main reason was that companies were making many consoles and hundreds of games, most which were low quality. The video game version of ET: The Extra Terrestrial is often blamed for the crash.
Through the 1970s, many companies, most notably Coleco and Atari released tons of systems. The video game industry became a big thing, and it seemed like video games were the next cool thing. However, soon, companies tried to take advantage. For example, if you mailed to a dog food company, they'd send you a video game. The market was flooded, but the final straw was with the Atari port of Pac-Man and ET: The Extra Terrestrial. They were both bad quality games, and the Pac-Man port itself was just a prototype. Consumers lost confidence in video games, and Atari began to lose money. Most companies left the market, as most experts claimed the market was dead, and nothing more than a fad. The crash was notable for being more bad for the companies, as consumers themselves were happy as most games were much cheaper
. The crash would last until 1985, when Nintendo released the Nintendo Entertainment System, which used a VCR look and avoided common terms that video games were typically using, as the packaging of the system never even mentioned the phrase "video game" once. Cartridges were instead called "Game Paks" and the games showed in-game sprites on the covers, to show the arcade-like graphics. This was important, as arcades were not effected by the crash, and became popular again because of the crash.

is a life simulation video game released for the Nintendo DS for the Animal Crossing series.

Gameplay
The player moves into a village where everyone is an animal. Only the player is human. Only four people can move to the village and live together in one house (different to Animal Crossing). They have to pay money (called "bells") for the house, and when they did it the house will get bigger. Bells can be earned by fishing, catching insects, selling things and other ways. Every player can buy the things he/she likes by Tom Nook (a racoon who has got a shop in the village) and put them in the house. If the house looks nice, they get points and things from the HRA (Happy Room Academy). They also can buy clothes at Able Sisters. The game is played in real time and has no ending. You can visit the villages of other players by using the Nintendo DS wireless connection or Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. It's almost like the older Animal Crossing GameCube version.

Characters and Places
Villagers
The animals are different. There are different kinds of animals (for example cats, mice or dogs) and different characters (for example lazy, active...) There are more animals than in the older version.

Tom Nook (Nook's Cranny)
Tom Nook is a racoon who has got a shop called "Nook's Cranny". The shop gets bigger when you buy things. He sells furniture and other items. He does not sell clothes anymore as he did in Animal Crossing. His range changes every day.

Mable & Sable (Able Sisters)
Mable and Sable are hedgehogs siblings that started to run a shop together called "Able Sisters" where you can make your own clothes and buy hats, umbrellas, glasses and clothes. The range changes every day like in Tom Nooks Shop so go frequently.

Pelly & Phyllis (Town Hall)
Pelly and Phyllis are two pelicans who work in the Town Hall. There is a post office where you can send letters to villagers and one where you for example can get information about your town. Pelly works at day, Phyllis works at night.
Tortimer
Tortimer is an old turtle. He is the mayor of your village. He turns up at most special event days.

K.K. Slider
K.K. is a dog who sings in the café in the museum. You can see him every Saturday evening at 8.00 pm and you can take the music with you and listen to it at home.

Blathers & Celeste (Museum & Observatory)
Blathers and Celeste are owls. Blathers works in the museum and if you want you can give him paintings, fossils, insects and fishes. After that you can see them in the museum. You can find Celeste in the observatory and draw your own pictures between the stars, which come out at night.

Resetti
Resetti is an angry mole. He comes when you turn your DS off and do not save the game. Every time he comes he gets more angry with you. He pops up outside your house each time you go back on after you don't save and turn off the game.

is a kart racing video game made by Nintendo for the Wii game console which was first shown at E3 2007. It is the sixth installment in the Mario Kart series and the second Mario Kart title to use the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. The game was released in every country throughout April 2008, but one year later in South Korea.

Mario Kart Wii features 16 new tracks, plus 16 from the previous games in the series, and is bundled with the Wii Wheel. The game was commercially successful in every region, and sold over a million copies in both Japan and the United States in less than a month. It also received very positive reviews from critics.
In Mario Kart Wii, players choose a character from a roster having of up to 24 characters and from 36 cars. The cars are classified into three different weight classes. A character's weight decides the available types of karts and motorbikes, and their performance on the tracks. Each car has seven different parameters for characteristics: speed, weight, acceleration, handling, drift, off-road, and mini-turbo. Mario Kart Wii has 32 different tracks, having 16 new tracks, four tracks each from Mario Kart 64, Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, and Mario Kart DS, and two each from Super Mario Kart and Mario Kart: Super Circuit. Plus, up to twelve characters can play in a race. Players get items by driving through item boxes, which can be used for either defense, offense, or for powering up the engine. New items from Mario platform games are introduced, like the "Mega Mushroom" from New Super Mario Bros. It allows the character to grow very big in size and flatten other players. The "POW BLOCK" from Mario Bros
. allows the character to send a shockwave to all the players in front of them, spinning them out of control and making them drop any items they may be carrying (there is no effect, however, on those who are airborne). One new item to the series is the "Lightning Cloud", which raises the user's top speed briefly, but shrinks the user if it is not passed on to an opponent by colliding with them.
Mario Kart Wii has 24 Nintendo characters that can be chosen, more than any of the other Mario games. There are also 12 different kinds (3 weight classes, 2 genders, 2 outfits) of the Mii, the digital avatar made by Nintendo. Twelve characters are available from the beginning; the other twelve and the two Mii variants become available after finishing certain elements of the game. The cast of characters has 19 returning characters from the series and six new characters; Baby Peach, Funky Kong, user-created Miis, Rosalina, Dry Bowser, and Baby Daisy. There are eight characters of each weight class. The Mii's weight class depends on its height and weight (this can be customized in the Mii Channel), and its favorite color changes the color scheme of its clothing, while the gender changes the color scheme of their cars.
Development
Mario Kart Wii was officially announced at the 2007 Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3); the online features and the first footage of the game was shown. Producer Hideki Konno wanted to include online features for Mario Kart DS, but they were left out due to time constraints.

The game was called "Mario Kart X" internally for a while, before deciding on "Mario Kart Wii". General producer and Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto's inputs were limited to new aspects of play such as the Wii Wheel and battles over Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. The designers tested roughly 30 different prototypes with different shapes, colors and weights (based on real-life go-karts), before deciding on the final Wii Wheel design.

Reception
Reception

The game received many positive reviews, and was commercially successful in every region, and sold over a million copies in both Japan and the United States in less than a month. Joe Sinicki of Blast Magazine comments: "While it still does suffer from some of the problems of the older games, Mario Kart Wii takes the simple and accessible formula set by its predecessors and tweaks it enough to make it feel fresh and fun, creating one of the most entertaining and rewarding gaming experiences in quite some time."

In the week ending May 4, 2008, Mario Kart Wii had sold over a million copies in Japan alone, less than a month since its release in the region. In the UK, Mario Kart Wii was the best-selling video game in the week ending April 12, 2008, having "the eighth biggest opening sales week in UK software history," according to Chart-Track/ELSPA. As of 30 Sep 2019, Mario Kart Wii sold 37.24 million copies, which make it the third best-selling game overall.

History
Nihon Shoki is the second oldest book of classical Japanese mythology and history.  It includes details that are not in the Kojiki, which is the oldest historical record of ancient Japan.

This book is important to people who study the history of Japan because it has information about the early rulers not found in other books.

Dates in the Nihon Shoki before the late 7th century were likely recorded using the Genka calendar system.

Plot 

The movie begins at a race which the main character, Speed Racer, wins.  The Racer family is a local, family-run company that builds and races cars.

In a flashback, it is shown that Speed Racer's older brother, Rex, died while racing the Casa Cristo 5000, a big race that goes across two continents.  It is very dangerous and the drivers are very bad. The drivers try to get other racers out of the race by hitting their cars or using tools to get them out of the race.  Rex was said to be cheating in the race. This gave people a bad opinion of the racing world.
A man named Mr. Royalton saw Speed's victory and went to his house.  He offered Speed a contract to race for the Royalton racing team.  Speed chose not sign the contract because he loves the art of racing.  Royalton got angry and told Speed that racing is only a business and that his and his family's belief in it being an art is nonsense.  He said that he will make sure that Speed does not finish his next race.  At the next race at Fuji, Speed did spin out and he did not finish the race.
A very shadowy group then went to the Racer family.  Earlier in the movie, a racer named Taejo Togokhan was beat up. His hand was almost cut off for trying to oppose the Royalton family.  He and someone named Racer X were trying to beat the Royaltons.  The Royaltons wanted to buy out the Togokhan company.  However, if Togokhan wins the Casa Cristo, the value of the company will go up and Royalton could not buy it.  Togokhan would only race if Speed Racer was on the team.  Pops said that Speed could not do so. Because of this, Speed and his girlfriend Trixie said they were skiing but went to the race instead.
At the end of the first day of the Casa Cristo, the Togokhan team was in second place.  Togokhan was very mad, but Racer X told him that there was much more racing ahead.  The Racer family found out that Speed was in the race and came to try and get him. When Speed refused to leave, they stayed to help the team. During the night, ninjas went into each of the team's rooms to tried to hurt them.  Togokhan was given a drug that makes it hard for him to stand up. The drug stopped him from racing. Racer X and Speed fought the ninjas and won.  Trixie chose to race for Togokhan.
On the second day of the race, the Togokhan team took the lead.  However, during a pass in the mountain area, the Royalton people tried to kidnap and kill the racers.  Spritle Racer, Speed's younger brother, hit one of the men with mud, and the rest of the Togokhan team and the Racer family fought off the bad guys.  During this, the Sneak Oiler team took the lead in the race.  Inside the mountain area, the Sneak Oilers dropped oil on the road. This caused Speed to fall off the mountain.  He drove up the side of the mountain and took the lead to win the Casa Cristo.
It turned out that this was for nothing. Togokhan's plan all along was to win the race to make the price of the stock of his fathers company increase. They made more money when his father sold the company to the Royaltons. Speed was very mad. He drove around the track.  Racer X found him and hit his car to make him stop.  Speed then told Racer X that he thought that Racer X was actually Rex, his dead brother.  Racer took off his mask and showed Speed that he was someone different.  He then told Speed that they should not let racing change who they are.
Togokhan's sister later came up to Speed and gave him an invitation to that year's Grand Prix. The invitation was Togokhan's but he did not want it.  The Racer family built a car for Speed, and they entered the race.  During the race, Speeed took the lead.  The Royalton car driver illegally used a spear hook to bring Speed down.  The Royalton driver crashed and Speed's car stopped working.  Speed slowed down. He thought hard and pushed the correct button to start the car again. He raced hard and fast to win the race.  Royalton gets put on trial and is put in jail afterwards.

But it turns out that Racer X is Rex Racer, Speed Racers brother.

Allele frequency refers to the different forms of a gene at a single  position on a chromosome. It is the proportion of a given allele to all alleles at the same locus. It is usually expressed as a percentage.

Allele frequencies may be used to describe genetic diversity in a population. If the frequency of any allele is above 1% it is probable that natural selection is maintaining it at this level. This is because the natural mutation rate of an allele is almost always much lower than 1%.

A fixed allele is one allele that exists for a particular population.  A fixed allele is homozygous for all members of the population.

The term allele refers to one variant gene out of several possible for a particular locus in the DNA. When all but one allele go away, one only remains.  That allele is said to be fixed.

Classical genetics
An allele is a form of a gene at a particular position (locus) on a chromosome.15 It is the bit of coding DNA at that place.p6

Typical plants and animals have two sets of chromosomes, one set inherited from each parent.123 These organisms are called diploid. Since such organisms have two sets of chromosomes, they have (except on the sex chromosomes) two alleles at each gene locus.p6

If the two alleles are identical, the individual is called a homozygote and is said to be homozygous. If instead the two alleles are different, the individual is a heterozygote and is heterozygous.205

Dominance 
In a heterozygote the effect of one allele may completely ‘mask’ the other. That is, the phenotype produced by the two alleles in heterozygous combination is identical to that produced by one of the two homozygous genotypes.212
