Ammonis is a dubious genus of extinct ammonite known from fossils found near Pompeii in Ancient Rome. The only known species, Ammonis cornua, was named by Pliny the Elder in A.D. 79. Its fossils were found in the same Pompeiian aged rocks as which Scipionyx was discovered in, which were about 110 million years old.

The name Ammonis cornua, from which the scientific term is derived, was inspired by the spiral shape of their fossilized shells, which somewhat resemble tightly coiled rams' horns. Pliny the Elder (d. 79 AD near Pompeii) called fossils of these animals ammonis cornua ("horns of Ammon") because the Egyptian god Ammon (Amun) was typically depicted wearing ram's horns. Often the name of an ammonite genus ends in -ceras, which is Greek (κέρας) for "horn".

All known specimens of Ammonis cornua were destroyed in A.D. 79 when Mount Vesuvius destroyed Pompeii.

As one of the first groups of rap that struggle by the legalisation of the marijuana, Cypress Hill was forbidden in Saturday Night Live after DJ Muggs smoked a blunt of marijuana and the band shattered his musical instruments while they interpreted his second single "I ain't goin' out like that". The group titled his turns with the name Soul Assassins, in company of House of Pain and Funkdoobiest, and more forward followed suit with Rage Against the Machine and Seven Year Bitch.

Paul Klee (18 December 1879 – 29 June 1940) was a Swiss-German artist. He was one of the most famous painters of the 20th century. His work was influenced by  Expressionism, Cubism, and Surrealism. He was also very interested in the theory of color.

Life and career
Klee was born in Münchenbuchsee, a town near Bern in Switzerland. His mother, born Ida Maria Frick, came from Basel in Switzerland. His father, Hans Klee, came from Tann, a small town in the Hesse state of Germany. Both his parents were musicians. When he was very young he trained to be a violinist. Then he decided to become an artist. He studied art under Heinrich Knirr. In 1899 he was admitted to the Academy of Fine arts in Munich. After leaving the academy he also studied art in Italy. After Italy, he returned to Bern and lived with his parents for several years.
Klee married the pianist Lily Stumpf in 1906. They went to live in Munich. In 1906 he had his first major exhibition. Besides his painting, Klee taught art at the Bauhaus from 1920 to 1931. and later at the Dusseldorf Academy. When the Nazis came to power in Germany, life became very hard for modern artists. Klee moved back to Switzerland in 1933. He died in Muralto, Switzerland in 1940. For many years he had suffered from scleroderma, an autoimmune disease.

Klee made over 10,000 paintings, drawings, and etchings in his lifetime. His works are held in museums all over the world. In 2005, the Zentrum Paul Klee (Paul Klee Center) was opened in Bern. The building was designed by the Italian architect Renzo Piano. It holds 4000 works by Klee and shows 150 at time. The exhibition changes every six months.

These pictures are from Klee's mature career. He painted them while he was teaching at the Bauhaus. During this time he was also a member of a group of artists called Die Blaue Vier (The Blue Four). The other three members were Wassily Kandinsky, Lyonel Feininger, and Alexej von Jawlensky. Like Klee, both Kandinsky and Feininger taught at the Bauhaus. The four artists lectured and exhibited together in Germany and the USA.

Indohyus (meaning "India's pig") is a small deer-like creature, which lived about 49 or 48 million years ago in Kashmir, India. It belongs to the artiodactyls family Raoellidae, and is believed to be the closest sister group of Cetacea. It lived during the same time as the related Pakicetus. The two may have coexisted.

About the size of a raccoon or domestic cat, this herbivorous creature shared some of the traits of whales. It also showed signs of adaptations to aquatic life, including a thick and heavy outer bone coating. This is similar to the bones of modern creatures such as the hippopotamus, and reduces buoyancy so that they can stay underwater. This suggests a similar survival strategy to the African mousedeer or water chevrotain which, when threatened by a bird of prey, dives into water and hides beneath the surface for up to four minutes.

There are two known species of Indohyus:
I. indirae
I. major

Cetaceans
Himalayacetus is an extinct aquatic cetacean known from fossils found in the Himachal Pradesh, India. It lived in the remnants of the ancient Tethys Ocean during the early Eocene.  This extends the fossil record of whales by some 3.5 million years.

Himalayacetus lived in the coastline of the ancient Tethys Ocean before the Indian plate collided with Eurasia. It is only known from a single jaw fossil, which makes exact comparisons with other cetaceans almost impossible.

Wander Over Yonder was an American animated television program produced by Disney. It aired on TV starting on August 16, 2013. The show ended on June 27, 2016.

The series follows Wander, a nomadic and optimistic traveller and his best friend, Sylvia, as they go from planet to planet helping people to have fun and live free. This angers Lord Hater, one of the most powerful villains in the galaxy, who tries to defeat Wander with his army of Watchdogs.

The creator of the show is Craig McCracken, who has also created The Powerpuff Girls and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends.

Development 
Wander Over Yonder is McCracken's first show on a Disney-owned network. Wander first appeared on sketchbooks and clothes that McCracken sold at conventions, as well as in a never-finished graphic novel. McCracken has described Wander as a "nomadic, hippie, muppet man".
Characters 
Wander - A light brilliant orange Star Nomad with black eyes, a pale light grayish green hat with a black belt and a light brilliant gold star button, white socks with black and light brilliant gold stripes, and pale light grayish cerulean shoes with black stripes and white laces.
Sylvia - A pale light grayish cerulean Zbornak who is Wander's best friend and steed with black eyes, a brilliant raspberry mane, a black saddle, a brilliant raspberry blanket with light brilliant gold lining, and a black rein with light brilliant gold buttons.
Lord Hater - A white Skeletal with light brilliant gold lightning bolt horns, black eyes with luminous vivid green sclera, a strong red and black robe, light brilliant gold gloves, and black shoes with white soles and laces.
Commander Peepers - A light orchid Watchdog with a black eye with strong red iris and white sclera, a grayish tangelo eyelid, a black helmet with a light brilliant gold lightning bolt point, a black uniform with a strong red lightning bolt insignia, strong red gloves, and strong red shoes.
Dorothy - Sylvia's very light persian blue mother with black eyes with moderate fuchsia eye shadow, a moderate azure mane, a white pearl necklace, and a pink and white apron.
Bill - Sylvia's moderate arctic blue brother with black eyes with moderate azure blue eyelids, a moderate vermilion mane, and a moderate red undershirt with light spring budish gray stripes on the shoulders as well as light spring budish gray and opalish gray bandages and black arm wrists.

Inferno by the Italian author Dante is a work of fiction published in the 1500s, as part of The Divine Comedy. It tells of the fictional journey that two men, Dante himself as well as Greek poet Virgil, takes through Christian Hell. Hell is made up of several levels, or circles, in which sinners are divided and punished according to their sins. Their punishments are measured according to how many good deeds vs bad deeds were done.

The Divine Comedy describes the journey of the soul toward  God. And Inferno is about the recognition and rejection of sin.

A Qubit (or QBit) is a unit of measure used in quantum computing. 

Like a bit in normal (non-quantum) computing, a Qubit has two distinct states, 0 state and the 1 state. However, unlike the normal bit, a qubit can have a state that is somewhere in-between, called a "superposition."

You cannot measure the superposition without the superposition going away (changing). If you try to measure a qubit that is in a superposition, the qubit will change, and become one of two states. The resulting state the qubit changes to depends on how it is measured. For simplicity, let's assume we are measuring in a way that will make the qubit change to either a 0 state or a 1 state.

A qubit can be represented as a 2-element column vector.

A qubit in the 0 state looks like . 

A qubit in the 1 state looks like .

In general, a qubit state will look like  , where .

α and β are called amplitudes. They can be complex numbers. Each state has an amplitude.
By squaring a state's amplitude, you can get the probability of measuring that state.

Each state can also have a phase. The phase is part of the amplitude and is what can make the amplitude a complex number.

A state's phase is like how much that state has rotated. The angle of phase is usually represented as either Φ or φ. Let's use φ.

φ can go from 0 to  radians. The angle sort of goes into an Euler identity, where instead of , the  gets substituted with the angle φ. The state's phase becomes .

This expression is a phase factor that becomes part of a state's amplitude. It gets multiplied with the amplitude.

A phase angle of 0 makes the amplitudes positive real numbers, since .

A phase angle of  makes the amplitudes negative real numbers, since . (This is Euler's identity)

A phase angle of  makes the amplitudes positive imaginary numbers, since .

A phase angle of  makes the amplitudes negative imaginary numbers, since .
Beyond 0 and , the phase angle just wraps back around again, since it is just a rotation.

An example qubit may look like . There is a 50% chance of measuring a 0 or a 1. There is a phase of 1 on the 0 state's amplitude. There is a phase of -1 on the 1 state's amplitude.

Qubits are generally written as kets, which look like . Kets are part of Bra-Ket notation, also known as Dirac notation. Kets are a way of saying column vector.

The 0 and 1 state are written as  and  respectively. 

A general qubit in ket notation will be written as .

This equation is exactly the same as , since
