The United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine, or the 1947 UN Partition Plan, was a plan to split the former British colony of Mandatory Palestine into two different countries adopted on 29 November 1947. It would have been split into six different regions, three belonging to the Palestinians and three to the Israelis, and Jerusalem would have been an international city shared by both countries. The Israelis accepted the plan, but the Palestinians rejected it. The plan was never put into place and this led to the 1947-1949 Palestine War.

Thomas Esang "Tommy" Remengesau Jr. is a Palauan politician. He became Palau's president in 2013 and was re-elected in 2016. He also served as president from 2001 to 2009 and was a Senator in the Palau National Congress in between.

Remengesau aimed to reduce Palau's reliance on U.S. aid by boosting tourism with the slogan "Preserve the Best and Improve the Rest." This means preserving the rich marine resources around Palau, known for its top-tier underwater attractions. In international affairs, he elevated Palau's status in the United Nations and led environmental initiatives like the Micronesian Challenge. He's a strong advocate for addressing global warming in the South Pacific.
Early Life
Remengesau was born in Koror, Palau. His father, Thomas Remengesau Sr., held various important roles in Palau, including District Administrator and Vice President. His mother, Ferista Esang Remengesau, also served as First Lady of Palau. Remengesau studied at Grand Valley State University in Allendale, Michigan, USA, and graduated from there.

Political Career

Early Political Roles and Presidential Terms

Thomas Esang "Tommy" Remengesau Jr. embarked on his political career at a young age. At just 28, he targeted the youth voting bloc in Palau and emerged as a prominent advocate for the nation's youth. In 1984, he clinched a historic victory, becoming Palau's youngest senator. His election was a testament to his grassroots campaign and widespread support from the youth.
He later ascended to the role of Vice-President of Palau in 1992 and successfully served two terms in this position. Additionally, he held the important portfolio of Minister of Administration. In the year 2000, with the endorsement of outgoing President Kuniwo Nakamura, he secured the presidential election, defeating his opponent by a margin of 52% to 46%. Remengesau's triumph in the 2004 re-election was even more decisive, with a victory margin of 66.5% to 33.5%. This race was marked by rumors of potential financial influence from Taipei and Beijing.

Return to the Senate

After completing his presidential term, Remengesau announced his candidacy for a senatorial seat in the Palauan Senate in 2008. Despite his extensive political experience, he came in 11th place in the election.

Charges and Verdict
Following his presidency, legal issues arose concerning property disclosure. While these charges primarily revolved around technical aspects related to the filing of personal assets under the Code of Ethics law, they led to an investigation and legal proceedings. Remengesau emerged from this trial with insights into the importance of asset disclosure for public officials.

Second Presidential Term

In 2013, Remengesau assumed office for his second term as President, winning the Palauan election of 2012. His commitment to environmental initiatives garnered significant recognition. He received prestigious awards such as the Pacific Champion Award and the United Nations' Champion of the Earth title in 2013, as well as the Inspiring Conservation Award and the IGFA Conservation Award in 2014. In 2016, he continued his mission, earning the Peter Benchley Ocean Award for Excellence in National Stewardship.
For his efforts in raising awareness about the vulnerability of Palau to sea-level rise, Remengesau made an appearance in the 2016 documentary film "Before the Flood."

In the November 2016 election, he faced a formidable challenge from his brother-in-law, Senator Surangel Whipps Jr., in his bid for a fourth presidential term. Despite a competitive race, Remengesau secured victory with 5109 votes compared to Whipps' 4854.

The molar heat capacity of a substance is the energy needed to raise the temperature of one mole of it by one degree Celsius.

When using SI units, it can be calculated with the equation 
where  refers to the molar heat capcity (in joules per Kelvin),  to the heat supplied (in joules) and  (in Kelvin) to the temperature change in the substance.

The molar heat capacity of a given substance can be found by heating the substance by releasing a known amount of energy into the substance and measuring the temperature change.

For example, a common school experiment to find the molar heat capacity of water involves heating a beaker of water with an immersion heater (that can display the heat released in joules on a display) and stirring the water, while checking the temperature at specific intervals.
For more accurate results, a bomb calorimeter can be used; these contain a chamber of fuel (in this case, a compound that will release heat when needed) inside a chamber of water, with the water chamber protected by heat-proof walls (to ensure minimal heat loss, which would affect the final heat capacity recorded).

Energy
The spontaneity of a process refers to whether or not the reaction would occur without an input of energy, because of the value of the reaction's Gibbs free energy.

The Gibbs free energy is given by:

 

where  refers to the Gibbs free energy, to the enthalpy change,  to the temperature (in Kelvin) and  to the entropy change.

If the Gibbs free energy change is 0 or negative, the reaction is said to be spontaneous and can occur without an input of energy into the system. If the Gibbs free energy were above 0, the reaction would not be spontaneous and would require an input of energy in order for it to proceed.

In equilibrium reactions, a reaction one way will be spontaneous, while the reverse reaction will be non-spontaneous. Therefore, using a general formula for equilibria:

A <=> B + C

If the formation of compounds  and  from  were spontaneous, the formation of compound  from  and  would be non-spontaneous.
An example of a spontaneous process is the conversion of diamond into graphite, because graphite has a more thermodynamically stable structure. An example of a non-spontaneous process would be the combustion of methane in oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water, as this requires an input of energy.

Peep and the Big Wide World (known as Peep) is an American-Canadian animated television program. It was created by Kaj Pindal.

Peep and the Big Wide World was based on the 1988 short movie Peep and the Big Wide World. The movie was produced by the National Film Board of Canada. The short was based on the 1962 short The Peep Show. It was also produced by the National Film Board of Canada.

Peep and the Big Wide World premiered on April 12, 2004 on Discovery Kids and on TLC as part of their Ready Set Learn children's block. On the same day, it also premiered on TVOKids and Discovery Kids.
It ended on the Discovery children's networks on October 10, 2010. It ended with the end of Ready Set Learn and the replacement of Discovery Kids with The Hub. The program is still offered to public television stations by independent public television distributor Discovery Communications. Since January 1, 2018, the series was distributed by both Discovery Kids and APT. The program was underwritten by the National Science Foundation. Northrop Grumman underwrote the fourth season in 2009.

Each episode had two 9-minute animated stories. They also had two 2-minute live action segments. In these segments, children explore and demonstrate the same topic that were shown in the animated segment.

On January 1, 2018, Peep and the Big Wide World was picked up on the 24-hour PBS Kids channel, marking the first time to air the series for PBS member stations, which never acquired the series since it's original run in 2004. The broadcast of the series ended on December 26, 2021, when it was replaced with reruns of Dinosaur Train to the 7:30 a.m. weekend morning timeslot. And then on February 1, 2023, Peep and the Big Wide World returned picked up on the 24-hour PBS Kids channel, marking the first time to air the series for PBS member stations, which never acquired the series since it's original run in 2004.

An immobilized enzyme is an enzyme that is attached to an inert, insoluble material. This can provide a higher resistance to changes in condition such as pH or temperature.

Commercial use 
Immobilised enzymes can be important for commercial uses as they have many benefits to the cost and processes of the reaction such as:
 Convenience: small amounts of protein dissolve in the reaction so purification of the product is easier.
 Economy: The immobilized enzyme is easily removed from the reaction so it can be recycled. This is useful in the production of lactose-free milk as the milk can be drained from a container leaving the enzyme (lactase) inside for the next batch.
 Stability: Immobilised enzymes normally have a higher thermal and operational stability than the soluble form of the enzyme.
 Safety: In the past, biological washing powders contained proteases and lipases that would break down dirt but also irritate the skin if it was touched - immobilization prevents this from happening
Methods 
 Adsorption on glass: The enzyme is attached to a glass bead.
 Covalent bond: The enzyme is bound covalently to a support (such as silica gel).
 Cross-linkage: Multiple enzymes are bound together to create a matrix.
 Affinity-tag binding: Enzymes attached to a surface with protein tags.

The Saline River is a  tributary of the Smoky Hill River in the central Great Plains of North America. The entire river is in the U.S. state of Kansas in the northwest part of the state. The river got its name from the French translation of its Native name Ne Miskua. It refers to how salty the river is.

Geography
The Saline River starts in the High Plains of northwestern Kansas. The south tributary of the river rises near the Sherman County-Thomas County line. The north tributary rises in central Thomas County. The confluence of the two rivers are in Sheridan County roughly  northwest of Grinnell, Kansas. From this confluence, the Saline River goes east for  through the Smoky Hills region of north-central Kansas. It joins the Smoky Hill River about 1 mile south of New Cambria, Kansas in Saline County. The Saline is slow and can't be used for transportation. It has no major tributaries. It has a riverbed of sand and mud.
