Title: Second Dynasty of Egypt Content: thumb The Second Dynasty ruled ancient Egypt from c. 2890 to c. 2686 BC It is the second dynasty of the Early Dynastic Period of Egypt. During this time the seat of government was centred at Thinis. Very little is known about this period in ancient Egyptian history. There is very little archaeological evidence of the time. But to compare the differences between the First and Third Dynasties shows that there must have important institutional and economic developments during the Second Dynasty. ==Rulers== The names of the rulers of the Second Dynasty is not known exactly. Most sources agree on the names of the first pharaohs. These are:  Manetho wrote that the capital was at Thinis, the same as during the First Dynasty. However, at least the first three kings were buried at Saqqara. This could mean the center of power had moved to Memphis. Beyond this, little can be said about the events during this period. The annual records on the Palermo Stone only survive for the end of the reign of Nebra and for parts of Nynetjer's. One important event possibly happened during the reign of Khasekhemwy: many Egyptologists read his name ("the Two Powers arise") as commemorating the union of the Upper and Lower Egypts.

Title: Republican In Name Only Content: Republican In Name Only or RINO is a word for people who are in the Republican Party of the United States but believe things and want to pass laws that are different from most Republicans. RINO is a pejorative term, meaning it is an insult that other Republicans or conservatives use for people whom they think should not count as Republican. In the 1800s and 1900s people said "republican in name only" when talking about governments of countries that said they let people elect their own leaders, like in a real republic, but really ruled regardless of what the people wanted. When Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft both wanted to become the Republican candidate for President of the United States in the early 1900s, they accused each other of being "Republican in Name Only." When he was President, Franklin Roosevelt called Republicans who supported the New Deal "Me Too Republicans" and claimed they were just promising to do what he was already doing. Today, people call the Me Too Republicans Republican in Name Only. In 1964, Senator Barry Goldwater refused to run for President as a moderate because "Extremism in the pursuit of justice is no vice and moderation in the service of conscience is no virtue." In 1976, Ronald Reagan challenged President Gerald Ford for the nomination of the Republican Party to run for President and insisted on a conservative platform instead of Ford's moderate position. In 1993, an article in a newspaper claimed that President Bill Clinton should be pleased that the United States Congress was being won by Democrats and RINOs.

Title: Linear independence Content: thumb|right|Linearly independent vectors in R3. thumb|right|Linearly dependent vectors in a plane in R3. Linear independence is a concept from linear algebra. It is used to talk about vector spaces. Each vector space has a null vector. This vector is expressed as a linear combination (a sum) of other vectors. A set of these vectors is called linearly independent if and only if all of them are needed to express this null vector. This is equivalent to saying that at least one of the vectors can be expressed as a linear combination of the others. If the vectors are not linearly independent, they are called linearly dependent. As an example, take the three-dimensional Euclidean space: : \begin_4 . Category:Linear algebra

Her kidnapping and murder caused the creation of the Dru Sjodin National Sex Offender Public Registry. ==Murder== At 4:00 pm Saturday, November 22, 2003, Sjodin, a 22-year-old college student at the University of North Dakota, finished her job shift at the Victoria's Secret store at the Columbia Mall in Grand Forks.

Title: Paul Dukas Content: thumb|right|Paul Dukas Paul Abraham Dukas (October 1, 1865 – May 17, 1935) was a French composer and teacher of classical music. ==Early life== Paul Dukas was born in Paris to a Jewish father and Catholic mother. He was taught music by Théodore Dubois and Ernest Guiraud at the Conservatoire de Paris, where he became friends with the composer Claude Debussy. He then worked as a music critic and orchestrator. ==Early works== Although Dukas wrote a lot of music, he destroyed many of his pieces because he was unhappy with them. Only a few are left. His first important surviving work is the Symphony in C (1896). This is in the style of Beethoven and César Franck. Like Franck's only symphony, Dukas' is in three movements not the usual four: Allegro non troppo, ma con fuoco; Andante espressive e fuoco; Allegro spiritoso.Recording by Netherlands Radio Philharmonic, conducted by Jean Fournet, recorded March 1992 In 1897 Dukas wrote another work for orchestra, L'apprenti sorcier (English: The Sorcerer's Apprentice) based on Goethe's poem "Der Zauberlehrling". A short version of The Sorcerer's Apprentice was used in the Walt Disney film Fantasia. Dukas's use of rhythm and his skill in writing for orchestras can be seen in both the Symphony in C and The Sorcerer's Apprentice. ==Piano works== For the piano, Dukas wrote two complex and difficult works, a Sonata in E-flat minor (1901) and Variations, interlude and finale on a theme of Rameau (1902), again in the style of Beethoven and Franck. The Sonata has not been performed very often, but lately pianists, such as Marc-André Hamelin, have started to add it to their concerts. There are also two smaller works for piano solo. ==Opera== The opera Ariane et Barbe-Bleue ("Ariadne and Bluebeard"), which he wrote between 1899 and 1907, has often been compared to Debussy's Pelléas et Mélisande. This is because it is similar in its musical style, and both operas are based on words by Maurice Maeterlinck. Dukas's last big work was the grand oriental ballet La Péri (1912). This is about a man who goes to the Ends of the Earth to find immortality, and finds a mythical Peri, holding The Flower of Immortality. Because the opening of the ballet is very quiet, Dukas later added a short 'Fanfare pour preceder La Peri' which gave the usually noisy audiences time to settle in their seats before the main opera began. ==Teacher== In later life, Dukas became well known as a music teacher, with many famous students including Joaquín Rodrigo, Manuel Ponce, Maurice Duruflé, Xian Xinghai, Olivier Messiaen, Jehan Alain, Carlos Chávez, and David Van Vactor. After Dukas died he was buried in the Père Lachaise cemetery in Paris. ==Music== ===Piano=== * Piano Sonata (1900) * Variations, interlude et finale sur un thème de Rameau (1902) * Prélude élégiaque sur le nom de Haydn (1906) * La Plainte, au loin, du Faune (1920) ===Orchestra=== * Symphony in C Major (1896) * The Sorcorer's Apprentice, a symphonic scherzo (1897) * Villanelle for Horn & Orchestra (1906) * Ariane et Barbe-bleue (1907) * La Peri (1912) * Sonnet de Ronsard, for Voice & Piano (1924)

Title: Plant colour Content: Plant colours are very noticeable, especially in flowering plants, and especially the colour green. Plants are green because it is a functional colour. They photosynthesise, and the chlorophyll they use happens to be green. However, flowering plants show many other colours. Blue is quite rare, though bluebells are a famous exception. Apparently the colour is difficult to make by the usual plant biochemistry. It is also rare in animals, so if it is difficult for plants to make, presumably it is difficult for animals to make. Colour can be made in two ways. There are pigments which show a particular colour, and there are structural colours. Plant pigments make the plants show colours. The main pigments are: *Chlorophyll. The plant pigment, which absorbs blue and red wavelengths, and reflects green. All land plants and green algae have two types: chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b. As is well known, their function is to collect light in photosynthesis. *Carotenoids are red, orange, or yellow. *Betalains are red or yellow pigments. *Anthocyanins ("flower blue") are water-soluble pigments that look red to blue, according to pH. There are also structural colours, although they are less common. They are caused by reflecting iridescent colour from a multi-layered surface. Butterfly wings are a typical example. Some particular types of animals and plants have evolved colour systems which are unique. Lee DW 2007. Nature's Palette: the science of plant color. Chicago: University of Chicago Press. ISBN 978-0-226-47105-1 In the course of evolution, many other colourful molecules have been used by plants and animals. In bacteria, dinoflagellates and fungi, for instance, many other colour-causing compounds have been used. Sometimes the colour is just incidental, and sometimes it has a function on the life of the organism.Bandaranayake W.M. 2006. The nature and role of pigments of marine invertebrates. Natural Product Reports. 23 (2): 223–55. At first, no animals existed which could see colours. At that stage, colours on plants (etc) were incidental by-products of their physiology. The evolution of colour vision undoubtedly had an effect on the colours of plants and animals, but we have little evidence of this early stage. We know from the plants and animals of today that colour vision is very important. == Related pages == *The subject of bioluminescence is treated separately.

Title: Monmouth Content: Monmouth is a small town in south-east Wales. It is about 2 miles from the border with England. It is the county town of Monmouthshire, and just under 9,000 people live there. The River Wye and the River Monnow meet in Monmouth. ==History== The Romans built a small fort there called Blestium, but few people lived in the area after the Romans left. Eventually, the Normans built a castle by the River Monnow, after they conquered England in 1066. Monmouth grew in the Middle Ages, with a priory church, and a market street (now called Monnow Street). This street ran between the castle and a fortified bridge across the river, which is the only fortified bridge of its type in Britain. King Henry V of England was born in Monmouth Castle in 1387, but the castle itself was mostly knocked down after the Civil War in the seventeenth century. Monmouth was well known at one time for producing Monmouth caps - a sort of woollen headgear worn by soldiers, sailors and others. It also became famous at the end of the eighteenth century, when people such as Admiral Nelson, and many poets and painters, came to visit the beautiful Wye valley nearby. The town also has a famous public school, Monmouth School, which was started in 1615. In 1840, an important trial took place in Monmouth, of Chartists who had protested that more people should be allowed to vote in elections. One of the first makers of cars in Britain, Charles Rolls who founded Rolls Royce, was born just outside the town. He was killed in an airplane crash in 1910 at the age of 33; there is a statue of him in the town centre. ==The town today== The town is known for its schools and its many shops, as well as for the services that it provides for its surrounding area. The hills around Monmouth are covered with woodland and farms. Monmouth is linked by the A40 road to the M4 motorway at Newport and the M50 at Ross-on-Wye. The town is twinned with Carbonne, France and Waldbronn, Germany. In 2011, MonmouthpediA was set up as the first Wikipedia project to cover a whole town. ==Gallery==  Category:Towns in Monmouthshire

Title: Balloon (aircraft) Content: A balloon is a kind of aircraft that stays in the sky by floating. People fly in balloons mostly for fun. A balloon is different from an airship. An airship is a floating aircraft that has an engine and can change its direction of movement. A balloon has no engine and has no way to change its direction of movement (except up and down). A balloon travels by moving with the wind. The bottom of the balloon is called the "basket" where people can sit or stand. The top of a balloon is a big cloth bag called the "envelope". ==Kinds of balloon aircraft== There are three kinds of balloon aircraft: *Hot air balloons stay in the sky by making the air inside the envelope hot. Making the air hot makes the air spread out (have lower density). Hot air balloons are the most common kind of balloon aircraft. People sometimes say "hot air balloon" to mean any kind of balloon aircraft. But this is not exactly correct. *Gas balloons are not hot. Gas balloons have gas of low density in their envelopes. Examples of the gas used in gas balloons are helium and hydrogen. *Rozière balloons are like both hot air balloons and gas balloons. Part of the envelope has hot air in it. Part of the envelope has a gas that's not hot in it. Rozière balloons can fly very far. Rozière balloons have flown around the world without stopping.
Title: Social realism Content: Social realism is a style of art, fiction, movies and plays. It describes the daily life of workers and poor people. Social realist artists try to show people and their lives in a realistic way. This means that they often show things which are not beautiful or attractive. They may show people who are elderly, sick, sad, insane or have a disability. This does not mean that a Realist work of art or literature is ugly. It can be made beautiful by the way that the artist or writer creates it. Social realism art does not belong to one period of history, but has been the style of some artists in different centuries and different countries. Caravaggio, who was a late Renaissance artist, painted "Realist" pictures. Several Spanish painters were "Realists": Velazquez, Esteban Murillo and Francisco de Goya. There were many realist painters in the 19th century, including Gustave Courbet in France and Luke Fildes in England. Social Realism was popular in Russian art and literature. In the 20th century it became the main type of literature in the Soviet Union. It was also used by David Siqueiros to depict daily struggles of the people in his country, Mexico. ==Gallery== File:Michelangelo Caravaggio 056.jpg|Caravaggio, St Jerome, (1608) Italy File:A Mad Woman.jpg|Eugene Delacroix, Woman in a Hospital for the Insane, (early 1800s) France File:Gustave Courbet 040.jpg|Courbet, The Stone Breaker.
