Nymphaea nouchali, (or red and blue water-lily, blue star water-lily, or star lotus) is an aquatic flowering plant in the Nymphaeaceae (water-lily family). It is native to southern and eastern Asia.

N. nouchali grows from rhizomes or tubers rooted under the water. Leaves are oval to round, 13–15 cm (5–6 in), with an open sinus at the leaf base where it attaches to the petiole (leaf stem). Leaves may spread 1.4–1.5 m (4–5 feet) from where the rhizome is rooted. Flowers, which have little fragrance, are star-shaped with 4 sepals and 10–16 petals, and are 5–13 cm (2–5 in) in diameter. Although leaves float on the water surface, flowers are generally held 30 cm (12 in) above water. They are usually pale blue (but can be pink or white) with pale yellow stamens and anthers.
N. nouchali has been cultivated in southeast Asia for centuries, especially around temples. It is also cultivated in Sri Lanka and gathered from dried ponds in the Republic of India for the rhizomes, which are used as food and animal fodder as a source of starch. In Ayurvedic medicine, it is used to treat indigestion.

Cultivars include N. stellata var. cyanea, which has medium-sized pale to deep blue flowers, and N. stellata var. versicolor, which is commonly exported in the form of tubers from Sri Lanka to Europe and the U.S. for use in the aquariums; the tubers grow quickly after exposure to warm water, making an “instant” aquarium plant.

Symbolism
N. stellata was the state flower of Hyderabad Deccan. A pale blue-flowered N. stellatai is the National flower of Sri Lanka, where it is known as nil mānel or nil mahanel (Singhalese:නිල් මානෙල්).

Nelumbo nucifera, also known as the Egyptian bean, sacred lotus, Indian lotus, or simply lotus, is a species of plant in the genus Nelumbo sometimes colloquially called a water lily. They float on the surface of the water.

Classification 
The lotus is often confused with the true water lilies of the genus Nymphaea.

Botany

Flowers 
The flowers are usually found on thick stems rising several centimeters above the leaves. Some cultivated varieties have extraordinary numbers of petals.

Seeds 
A fertilized lotus flower bears fruit that contains a cluster of 10 to 30 seeds. Each seed is ovoid 1–2.5 cm wide by 1–1.5 cm long with a brownish coat.

Cultivation

Planting 

These plants require a nutrient-rich and loamy soil. The first step is to plough the dry field. One round of manure is applied after ten days, just before flooding the field.

Harvest 
Two to three months after planting, the stolon is now ready to harvest.  It must be harvested before flowering.

Frequency probability or Frequentism is one of the interpretations of probability theory. Repeating a scientific experiment very often gives a number of results. It is then possible, to count the number of times that a given event happened and compare it to the total number of experiments.

This interpretation of probabiilty was very important for statistics. People who use this interpretation are often called Frequentists. Well-known frequentists include  Richard von Mises, Egon Pearson, Jerzy Neyman, R. A. Fisher and John Venn.

Other interpretations of probability are Bayesian probability and Axiomatic probability theory

A satellite navigation or satnav system is a way of pinpointing position very exactly.

Satnav uses a system of satellites. The system gives exact positioning. It allows small electronic receivers to find their position (longitude, latitude, and altitude/elevation). The position is given within a few metres using time signals transmitted along a straight line (line of sight) by radio from satellites. The signals also allow the receivers to calculate the current local time to high precision. A satellite navigation system with global coverage may be called a global navigation satellite system (GNSS). Global Positioning System is the biggest and most used GNSS. GLONASS, owned by Russia, is the second biggest. China, India, and the European Union are working on similar systems of their own.

Property law covers two types of property in the common law legal system, real property and personal property. In the civil law system, there is a division between movable and immovable property. Movable property is more or less the same as personal property. It includes money, stocks, notes, copyrights and patents.

History 
The idea behind all property law is property. In some jurisdictions, historically all property was owned by the monarch. Land ownership was through land tenure in feudal systems. The first legal right of absolute ownership was under Roman law and was called dominion.

The Napoleonic Code was among the first government acts of modern times to introduce the notion of absolute ownership into statute. But protection of personal property rights was present in medieval Islamic law.

Super Mario 128 refers to a series of development projects that were originally to be used only to create a sequel to Super Mario 64. As debuted at Nintendo's Space World trade show in 2000, the demonstrated graphics and physics concepts were gradually incorporated into various games across many years.  This includes the rapid object generation in Pikmin, the "sphere walking" technology used in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and Super Mario Galaxy, and the physics of Metroid Prime.

History

Super Mario 64 sequel
The name Super Mario 128 was first used as early as January 1997 by Shigeru Miyamoto, as a possible name for a Super Mario 64 sequel. This rumored expansion and sequel to Super Mario 64 called Super Mario 64-2 was said to be developed for the 64DD, but ended up being cancelled due to the 64DD's commercial failure. Shigeru Miyamoto mentioned at E3's 1997 convention that he was "just getting started" on the project.
In November 1999, Shigeru Miyamoto said, "Well, for over a year now at my desk, a prototype program of Mario and Luigi has been running on my monitor. We've been thinking about the game, and it may be something that could work on a completely new game system." The game had only a demo of one level made for it. Miyamoto claimed that multiplayer functionality was the first aspect of the game that he wanted to include.

Autonomic dysreflexia (AD), also called autonomic hyperreflexia, is a medical emergency.

Who Gets Autonomic Dysreflexia? 
AD usually happens in people with spinal cord injuries that have caused damage above the sixth thoracic vertebra (T6, which is about at the same level of the armpits).  However, AD sometimes happens in people with spinal damage as low as their tenth thoracic vertebra (T10, which is about a few inches above the level of the belly button).

AD can also happen in people with diseases like multiple sclerosis (MS).
Symptoms 
Acute AD causes many symptoms.  Some are very dangerous.  These symptoms include:
 Hypertensive emergency: the person's blood pressure gets very high all of a sudden.  The blood pressure can get so high that it can cause a stroke.  
 bradycardia, a slow heart rate.  If the heart beats too slowly, the rest of the body cannot get enough blood or oxygen.  This is dangerous, because every part of the body needs blood (which carries oxygen) to survive.  For example:
 If the brain does not get enough oxygen, a person can get brain damage or die.  
 If the heart does not get enough oxygen, it can stop beating normally or even stop beating completely.
 Bad headaches
 Very bad sweating
 Stuffy nose
 Skin flushing (redness) above the level of the spinal injury
 anxiety
 Thinking problems

What Causes Autonomic Dysreflexia? 
Acute AD happens when the involuntary nervous system gets overexcited.  The body's fight or flight response kicks in very strongly.
Scientists think this happens because of afferent nerves.  Afferent nerves are supposed to sense things (like touch) and send messages back to the brain and spinal cord so the brain can decide how to react.  Scientists think that afferent nerves below the spinal cord injury cause blood pressure to get and stay high, by causing the blood vessels to get smaller.  This is part of the fight or flight response.

Breath sounds are the sounds made by air as it moves through the respiratory system.  Breath sounds are also called lung sounds or respiratory sounds.  Sometimes they can be heard by anyone; other times they can be heard only by listening to the lungs and airways with a stethoscope.

To describe and identify breath sounds, medical professionals usually use auscultation (they listen with a stethoscope).  They listen while the patient is breathing in, and while they are breathing out.  They listen to both lungs, at both the chest and the back, starting at the bottom and working their way up.  They listen to whether the pitch of the breath sounds is low, medium or high.  They also listen to whether the sounds are soft, medium, loud, or very loud).

Abnormal Breath Sounds

There are many kinds of breath sounds that are not normal.  These are called adventitious breath sounds.  Each different kind of abnormal breath sound is a sign of a different problem.  Some of the most common abnormal breath sounds are:
Wheezing

Wheezing is usually high-pitched.  It sounds musical, like whistling.  Usually, wheezing is heard first when a person is breathing out.  If it gets worse, wheezing starts happening when the patient breathes in and out.

Wheezing is caused by the airways being too narrow.  This can happen because of diseases like asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD).

If the airways are too narrow, the oxygen the body needs cannot get through.  This can become a medical emergency.
There are a few different treatments that can be used for wheezing:
 The patient can be given supplemental (extra) oxygen through a mask.
 Sometimes, moist, hot air can help wheezing.  Sitting in an area like a shower, or using a vaporizer (which creates moist, warm air) may be helpful for mild wheezing.  Emergency medical technicians or hospitals can also give humidified oxygen, which is mixed with warm water to make the oxygen into a warm steam.
 There are medicines called bronchodilators that relax and open up the airways.  This reverses the cause of wheezing and makes it easier to breathe.  Albuterol is a very common bronchodilator and is carried on many ambulances.  Bronchodilators can be given in inhalers or in a nebulizer (which mixes the medicine with warm water to make the medicine into steam).

Stridor
Stridor

Stridor is a high-pitched sound that usually happens when a person breathes in.  It may sound a lot like wheezing.  Medical professionals can tell the difference by listening to the throat with a stethoscope.  If the sound they hear is louder in the throat, it is stridor, not wheezing.

Stridor is usually caused by something blocking the larynx (voice box).  This can happen because:
 A person is choking and an object is blocking the larynx
 A person has an infection, and swelling in the throat or airways blocks the larynx
 The muscles in the airway or vocal cords spasm (suddenly get tighter); this is called laryngospasm

Like wheezing, stridor can signal a medical emergency if not enough oxygen is able to get through the airways.
Treatment for stridor depends on the cause:
 Helping a person stop choking by using choke saving (like the Heimlich maneuver)
 Treating the infection that is causing swelling in the larynx
 Giving medicines to help the muscles in the airway or vocal cords relax
 No matter what the cause is, giving extra oxygen may also help

Children are more likely to have stridor because of choking.  They are more likely to choke because their airways are smaller.  They are also more likely to get childhood infections like croup or epiglottitis that can cause stridor.

Rales (fine crackles)

Rales are also called fine crackles, because they often sound like a fine crackling noise.  They are heard when a person breathes in, on both sides (in both lungs).  Rales may also sound like bubbling, rattling, or small clicking sounds.
Rales are heard when a person has fluid in their lungs.  This is called pulmonary edema.  Pulmonary edema may happen for many reasons, like:
 Congestive heart failure (CHF)
 Pneumonia or other infections in the lungs
 Injury to the lung
 Blood clot in the lung (pulmonary embolism)
 Breathing in smoke
 Drowning

Rales signals pulmonary edema, no matter what is causing that pulmonary edema.  When a medical professional listens to the lungs, rales usually start at the bottom of the lungs.  As the pulmonary edema gets worse and fluid fills the lungs more, rales can be heard closer and closer to the top of the lungs.

Rhonchi (coarse crackles)
Rhonchi are also called coarse crackles, because they sound like coarse, rattling, crackling sounds.  Rhonchi and rales can sound a lot alike.  The main differences are:
 Rales start at the bottom of the lungs and can be heard farther up as the patient gets sicker.  They are heard on both sides (in both lungs) together.
 Rhonchi are often heard just in certain spots in the lungs.  They do not always start at the bottom of the lungs.  They may be heard only on one side, or in different spots on both sides.

Rhonchi are usually caused by mucus in the bronchi, the tubes that lead to the lungs.  For example, if a person has pneumonia, mucus can build up in their bronchi and the bronchi's airways, and cause rhonchi.

Unequal breath sounds

In a healthy person, breath sounds should always sound the same on both sides.  This signals that both lungs are working well.  If breath sounds cannot be heard in one lung, this can signal a serious problem.  It means that air is not getting in and out of that lung.
One of the most common causes of unequal breath sounds is a collapsed lung (pneumothorax).  A lung can collapse for many different reasons:
 A very bad injury to the lung
 Lung diseases like asthma, COPD, tuberculosis (TB), whooping cough, pneumonia, or cystic fibrosis
 Sometimes air blisters called blebs form on the top of the lungs.  If these air blisters break, air can leak out of the lungs and cause the lung to collapse.  
 Sometimes, a lung can collapse on its own.  This is called a spontaneous pneumothorax.

A pneumothorax is often a medical emergency and needs to be treated in a hospital.

The sulfur cycle is the way sulfur moves between rocks, waterways and living systems.

Sulfur (S) is an element important to ecosystems and the climate. The majority of sulfur is stored underground, for example under the ocean or in rocks. It also occurs naturally in places like swamps (where organisms have decomposed) and volcanoes. Humans add excess sulfur into this cycle, usually through atmospheric pollution caused by fossil fuel combustion.
Steps of the sulfur cycle 
As rocks are worn down by erosion they release sulfur that was once stored, becoming SO4 once it touches the air
Plants absorb this sulfur through photosynthesis and make this sulfur organic
Animals, specifically herbivores and omnivores consume the sulfur when they eat the plants
Sulfur moves through the food chain as secondary consumers and tertiary consumers eat the primary consumers
When animals and plants die, the sulfur dissipates into the atmosphere as sulfate and also through the body of the decomposers
The sulfur in the atmosphere is returned to the soil and water cycle when it rains
Sulfur can also be naturally released when volcanoes explode. The hydrological cycle plays a critical role in moving sulfur around.
Human Impact on the sulfur cycle 
Humans are responsible for 1/3 of the sulfur in the atmosphere. Sulfur is released by the combustion of fossil fuels, as mentioned above, and is most prevalent as sulfur dioxide. Sulfur is one of the root causes of acid rain along with nitrogen and carbon which negatively affects the environment. Acid rain is created when the H2O falls and combines with the Sulfur trioxide to create Sulfuric acid. Sulfuric acid is also used in most fertilizers and so can be introduced into the water cycle from runoff off of nearby farms into rivers and lakes. This causes eutrophication and algal blooms, and so reduced the Dissolved oxygen and biodiversity in that water system. Sulfur in the atmosphere as sulfur dioxide also absorbs radiation, however which keeps the earth's surface cooler and combats some of the effects of global warming.
