Title: Romantic ballet Content: The Romantic ballet is a genre of ballet that evolved in the early 19th century as a reaction against the classicism that dominated 18th century art and literature. Balletomanes of the early nineteenth century were bored with stories about ancient gods and goddesses, plots based on myths, and ancient costumes. They wanted ballets about real people and real places. Pointe work became artistic expression rather than stunt work, and the long, white, ballet skirt of tulle was introduced. Both produced the illusion of ethereal weightlessness. Gas lighting made it possible to create special dimming effects and wires enabled ballerinas to "fly". The romantic era in ballet began with The Ballet of the Nuns in 1831 and was followed by La Sylphide in 1832. The genre began a slow decline. Coppélia of 1870 is said to mark the end of the romantic ballet, although the three ballets composed by Tchaikovsky are romantic ballets. Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake of 1876 is considered a romantic ballet. Even his The Nutcracker of 1892 is a romantic ballet. Michel Fokine's Les Sylphides of 1906 is considered a tribute to the romantic ballet in its atmosphere and tone. Romantic ballets have four things in common: they are not about mythological gods and goddesses; they show local or national color in costumes, settings, and dances such as mazurkas and waltzes; a supernatural, fantastic, exotic, or spiritual element is usually prominent; and ballet technique is a focus, especially pointe work for the ballerina.
Title: Enterprise Java Beans Content: Enterprise Java Beans is a framework that allows one to develop Enterprise applications more easily using Java Enterprise Edition. It does this by using standard components. These components specify how an application works. This is usually called business logic. There are different kinds of Beans: *Session beans help to implement the main business logic. They are either Stateful (remembers things), Stateless (remembers nothing) or Singleton (only one of those exists). An example of a session bean might be the piece of code that tells how to store items in a database. *Message-driven beans allow a system to work asynchronously. They help to make different systems talk to each other by sending messages. Sometimes they are used to talk to legacy systems.

Title: John Nash (architect) Content: John Nash (18 January 1752 – 13 May 1835) was an English architect responsible for much of the layout of Regency London. He was the most important architect of the period 1800 to 1835 == Life == Nash was born in Lambeth. He studied architecture as an apprentice to Sir Robert Taylor for nine years.Tyack, Geoffrey (Ed) (2013) John Nash Architect of the Picturesque, English Heritage, p. 3. From 1810, Nash would take very few private commissions. He was a dedicated Whig and was a friend of Charles James Fox, who was Foreign Secretary in 1806. Perhaps through Fox, Nash came to the attention of the Prince Regent (later King George IV). For the rest of his career he would largely work for the Prince. His first major commissions in 1811 from the Prince was Regent Street and the development of an area then known as Marylebone Park. With the Regent's backing Nash created a master plan for the area, put into action from 1818 onwards, which stretched from St James’s northwards and included Regent Street, Regent's Park and its neighbouring streets, terraces and crescents of elegant town houses and villas. Nash did not complete all the detailed designs himself; in some instances, completion was left in the hands of other architects. Nash was employed by the Prince to develop his Ocean Pavilion Palace in Brighton, originally designed by Henry Holland. By 1822 Nash had finished his work on the Ocean Pavilion, which was now transformed into the Royal Pavilion. == His works == Examples of his work include: === London === *Buckingham Palace: the state rooms and western front *Regent Street *Regent's Park *Park Square *Park Crescent *Regent's Canal *Carlton House Terrace, London *St James Park *Marble Arch *Haymarket Theatre *Clarence House *Cumberland Terrace *Trafalgar Square (first version) *The Royal Mews === England & Wales === *Cardigan Gaol *The Brighton Royal Pavilion *Luscombe Castle *Sandridge Park *Guildhall, Newport, Isle of Wight *Castle House, later extended to form Old College Aberystwyth University *Hereford Gaol *Whitson Court, near Newport *Sandridge Park *Caerhays Castle, Cornwall *Ravensworth Castle John Pattisons house.

Title: Abd al-Rahman al-Sufi Content: 'Abd al-Rahman al-Sufi (;other spellings 'Abd ar-Rahman as-Sufi, or 'Abd al- Rahman Abu al-Husayn, 'Abdul Rahman Sufi, 'Abdurrahman Sufi and known in the west as Azophi 7 December 903 – 25 May 986), known as al-Sufi, was a Persian astronomer. The lunar crater Azophi and the minor planet 12621 Alsufi are named after him. Al-Sufi wrote his Book of Fixed Stars in 964, in text and pictures. == Biography == Al-Sufi was one of the nine noted Muslim astronomers. His name implies that he was a Sufi Muslim. He lived at the court of Emir Adud ad-Daula in Isfahan, Persia. He translated and expanded Greek astronomical works, especially the Almagest of Ptolemy. He made several corrections to Ptolemy's star-list and did his own brightness and magnitude estimates which often differed from those in Ptolemy's work. He was a major translator into Arabic of the Hellenistic astronomy done mainly in Alexandria. This was the first attempt to connect the Greek with the traditional Arabic star names and constellations, which had been unrelated and overlapped in complicated ways. == Astronomy == He identified the Large Magellanic Cloud, which is visible from Yemen, though not from Isfahan. It was not seen by Europeans until Magellan's voyage in the 16th century. He also made the earliest recorded observation of the Andromeda Galaxy in 964 AD; describing it as a "small cloud". These were the first galaxies other than the Milky Way to be observed from Earth. He observed that the ecliptic plane is inclined with respect to the celestial equator and more accurately calculated the length of the tropical year. He observed and described the stars, their positions, their magnitudes and their colour, setting out his results constellation by constellation. For each constellation, he provided two drawings, one from the outside of a celestial globe, and the other from the inside (as seen from the earth). Al-Sufi also wrote about the astrolabe, finding numerous additional uses for it: he described over 1000 different uses, in areas as diverse as astronomy, astrology, horoscopes, navigation, surveying, timekeeping, Qibla, Salah prayer, etc.

Title: Bruce Beutler Content: thumb|Bruce Beutler Bruce Alan Beutler M.D. (born December 29, 1957 in Chicago, Illinois) is an American immunologist and geneticist of Jewish descent.http://www.jinfo.org/Nobels_Medicine.html. Together with Jules Hoffmann, he received one-half of the 2011 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, for "discoveries concerning the activation of innate immunity" (the other half went to Ralph Steinman for "his discovery of the dendritic cell and its role in adaptive immunity"). Beutler is currently Director of the Center for the Genetics of Host Defense at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, Texas and Professor and Chairman of the Department of Genetics at The Scripps Research Institute, in La Jolla, California. His father, Ernest Beutler, a hematologist and medical geneticist, was also a Professor and Department Chairman at Scripps. == Scientific discoveries == Beutler is best known for his pioneering molecular and genetic studies of inflammation and innate immunity. Interested in the mechanism by which lipopolysacchride (LPS) activates mammalian immune cells, Beutler identified the LPS receptor. Identification of the receptor hinged on the positional cloning (a method of gene identification) of the mammalian Lps locus, which had been known since the 1960s as a key gene for biological responses to LPS.Sultzer B.M. 1968. Genetic control of leucocyte responses to endotoxin. Nature 219(5160):1253-4, Beutler thus discovered the key sensors of microbial infection in mammals. He found that one of the mammalian toll-like receptors,Toll-like receptor: a protein which recognises bacteria, and triggers the immune response. TLR4, acts as the membrane-spanning component of the mammalian LPS receptor complex.Poltorak A. et al. 1998. Defective LPS signaling in C3H/HeJ and C57BL/10ScCr mice: mutations in Tlr4 gene. Science 282(5396):2085-8 The TLRs work in the perception of microbes. Ten are now known in humans. Each detects signature molecules produced early in an infection. These receptors also work in severe illness, including shock and systemic inflammation as it occurs in the course of an infection. They are also active in sterile inflammatory and autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus.Christensen S.R. et al. 2006. Toll-like receptor 7 and TLR9 dictate autoantibody specificity and have opposing inflammatory and regulatory roles in a murine (mouse) model of lupus. Immunity. 25(3):417-28 The research on TLRs won him the Nobel Prize in 2011. The positional cloning of Lps was completed in 1998. Beutler continued to analyse immunity in mammals. His work found numerous signalling molecules of the innate immune response,Hoebe K. et al. 2003. Identification of Lps2 as a key transducer of MyD88-independent TIR signalling. Nature 424(6950):743-8Hoebe K. et al. 2005. CD36 is a sensor of diacylglycerides. Nature 433(7025):523-7,Tabeta K. et al. 2006.

Title: Curfew Content: A curfew is an order which restricts people in their movements. It is very often an order which forbids people to be out on the streets after dark. Curfews may be made by governments in times of war or civil unrest. This is supposed to stop violence. Curfews may also be issued to young people. They are told that they have to be indoors after a certain time. The word "curfew" comes from the French phrase "couvre-feu" which means "cover the fire". It was used to describe the time when all lamps and candles had to be blown out.Chambers Concise Dictionary 2004, p.288 ==Related pages== *Freedom of assembly *Stay-at-home order

Title: Treaty of Lahore Content: The Treaty of Lahore was signed on 9 March 1846 after the First Sikh War. After the defeat of the Sikhs at the Battle of Sobraon the British were able to march into Lahore without any further battles. After the British reached the city of Lahore the treaty was signed.Punjab - Imperial Gazetteer of India, v. 20, p. 273. The Sikhs (who had been defeated) were forced to sign the treaty with the British. As part of the treaty the Sikhs agreed to handover Kashmir and Hazara and Jalandhar Doab to the British.1911 Encyclopædia Britannica - Punjab. The treaty also resulted in the famous Koh-i-Noor diamond falling into British hands. Gulab Singh, an Indian prince, negotiated between the British and the Sikhs over how the Sikhs would surrender. As well as handing over land to the British, the Sikhs had to allow a British Resident and a British army contingent at Lahore and troops in other cities. Also, under the treaty, the Sikhs had to pay 1.2 million pounds to the British. As they were unable to pay Gulab Singh was able to take Kashmir from the Punjab government by paying 750,000 pounds to the East India Company. The Sikhs were also forced to give up the territory between the Satluj and the Beas rivers to the British. The Sikh army was also reduced. Maharaja Duleep Singh was recognised as the new ruler of Punjab. The new rulers were forbidden to employ any European without the permission of the British. ==Related pages== *Treaty of Amritsar

Title: Knossos Content: thumb|right|250px|North Entrance (restored) with charging bull fresco Knossos is a Bronze Age archaeological site on the island of Crete. It is at modern Heraklion. It may be Europe's oldest city.Whitelaw, Todd 2000. Beyond the palace: a century of investigation at Europe's oldest city. Bulletin of the Institute of Classical Studies: 223, 226. Many Roman coins found on the site had 'Knosion' or 'Knos' on one side, and an image of a Minotaur or Labyrinth on the reverse. These are symbols from the myth of King Minos, supposed to have reigned at Knossos.Gere, Cathy 2009. Knossos and the prophets of modernism. Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 25. The excavations at Knossos began in 1900 by the English archaeologist Sir Arthur Evans (1851–1941) and his team. They worked there for 35 years. The palace was excavated and partly restored. It was large. The team discovered two ancient scripts, called Linear A and Linear B. From the layering of the palace, Evans developed an idea of the civilization that used it, which he called Minoan. The palace was built over a previous Neolithic town. During the Bronze Age, the town surrounded the hill on which the palace was built. The palace was abandoned at some unknown time at the end of the late Bronze Age, c. 1380–1100 BC, for reasons which are not known.

Title: Organic light-emitting diode Content: Organic light-emitting diode (OLED) is a type of light-emitting diode (LED). The part of the OLED that creates light is made of a very thin layer of organic compounds. The main use of OLED technology is for flat panel displays for smartphones and other mobile devices where they are in some ways better than LCDs. OLEDs can be used to make displays that can bend. These can be used in many different ways. For example, they can be used in clothing. OLED provides high contrast of screen. It is characterized by low energy consumption (due to the absence of additional illumination). == Advantages and disadvantages == LCDs are in some ways better than OLEDs and some ways worse. OLEDs can make more colors and levels of brightness than LEDs. Unlike LCDs their colors do not change when viewed at an angle. They are also much cheaper to make. OLEDs make light, so they do not need a light shining through from the back as LCDs do. This also makes black parts of the screen able to be fully turned "off" making them darker. LCDs also need to use filters to work properly. These filters block much of the light created by the LED/CCFL. Because of backlighting and filtering, OLEDs use far less power than LCDs for the amount of light made. OLEDs also react faster to changes in electricity. They turn on and off much faster than LCDs. LEDs will last longer than OLEDs. This is the biggest problem with OLEDs. Currently most OLEDs used in displays will work for about 5,000 hours of use. LEDs normally work for 60,000 hours. This may change as experiments in 2007 created a type of OLED that worked for 198,000 hours. The organic compounds that make up OLEDs are also more easily damaged by water. OLED technology is currently patented by the Eastman Kodak company and several other companies. Because of this, a company must pay to be allowed to use it in their product. == How they work == thumb|300px|OLED schematic: 1. Cathode (−), 2. Emissive Layer, 3. Emission of radiation, 4. Conductive Layer, 5. Anode (+) There are several parts to an OLED: * Substrate: the material the layers of the OLED are put on * Emissive layer: the layer where light is made * Conductive layer * Anode * Cathode The emissive and conductive layers are made of special organic molecules that conduct electricity. The anode and cathode connect the OLED to the source of electricity. When electricity is applied to an OLED, the emissive layer becomes negatively charged and the conductive layer becomes positively charged. Electrostatic forces cause electrons to move from the positive conductive layer toward the negative emissive layer. This causes a change in the electrical levels and makes radiation that has a frequency in the range of visible light. OLED, as with all diodes, can only work if electricity flows through them in the correct direction. The Anode, connected to the emmisive layer must be at a higher electrical potential (more volts, more positive) than the cathode, connected to the conductive layer, for the OLED to work.

Title: Slash fiction Content: Slash fiction is fiction, especially fanfiction, that is about homosexual couples. Usually "slash" refers to male/male couples. The word "FemSlash" is used to describe female/female couples. To this day, most slash is written by females for females to read. The word is believed to have first been used with Kirk/Spock pairings in fan stories. These stories began being written in the late 1970's. Slash fiction does not need explicit sexual encounters to be considered slash. The homosexual activity could be just holding hands or kissing. In Japanese manga, slash stories are called yaoi. This is only used to describe male/male relationships. Yuri is used to describe female/female relationships, much the same as the word "FemSlash" is used.
Title: Hat-trick Content: A hat-trick, hat trick or hattrick in sports means that something is done 3 times. For example: goals, wickets and so forth. == Association football == There are different interpretations as to when a hat-trick is a valid one. The most common criteria is when a player has scored 3 goals in a match. Goals from penalty shootouts are not included. A "flawless" or "German" hattrick is close to the hat-trick described above but is different since the 3 goals have to be scored within a certain period of time. Another example is the "classic" or "perfect" hat-trick which means that the player scored one goal with each foot ( 1 goal with the right-foot and one goal with the left-foot) and a header. Occasionally Germans would award the hatrickees with 3 medals to signify their achievement. Category:Sports words

Oman's first ODI match was the final of the WCL2 against Namibia on 27 April 2019. The list is arranged in the order in which each player won his first ODI cap. Where more than one player won his first ODI cap in the same match, those players are listed alphabetically by surname. ==Key==  == Related pages == *List of Oman Twenty20 International cricketers
Title: Hair clipper Content: Hair clippers are tools used to cut hair close to the head. Similar tools are used to cut wool from sheep. Hair clippers have a pair of sharpened comb-like blades in close contact one above the other and the side which slide sideways relative to each other. The clipper is moved so that hair is positioned between the teeth of the comb, and cut with a scissor action when one blade slides sideways relative to the other. == History == Manual clippers were invented between 1850 and 1890 by Nikola Bizumic, a Serbian barber, and the hairstyles became popular amongst boys and men in school, prison and the military.http://www.ehow.com/about_5598125_first-hair-clipper-invented_.html Leo J. Wahl invented the first electric hair clipper. He first designed a hand-held massager for his uncle, Dr. Frank Wahl. Frank Wahl opened a manufacturing plant in Sterling, Illinois to produce and sell Leo’s massager. During this time, Leo would sell massagers to various barbers and noticed an opportunity to improve upon the tools barbers were using at the time.
