A severe weather and tornado outbreak happened between December 10 and 11, 2021. In the outbreak, there were 71 tornadoes involved, along with severe thunderstorms traveled across the U.S. states of Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky, Illinois and Tennessee.
Across Kentucky, Missouri, Tennessee and Illinois, the tornado sequence carved a path of 166 miles. It was the longest tornado since 1925 Tri-State tornado. The starting report on several tornadoes is that they were EF4.
89 people were confirmed killed by the outbreak. The Governor of Kentucky (at that time) stated that beyond seventy people might have been killed in the state alone.
1953 Vicksburg tornado
A strong tornado struck Vicksburg, Mississippi and areas nearby during the evening of December 5, 1953. The storm ran through the city at right after 5:30 pm that Saturday evening. The event killed 38 people. It was then the fourth deadliest tornado in the history of the state. It also injured almost 270. Damage totaled $25 million at the time.
The tornado that went through Vicksburg was estimated officially as an F5. That rating, however, is questionable. That's because the property destroyed was frail and weak. Some people call this tornado likely an F4 instead of an F5.

City block
A city block is a block of houses, in a built up area. Usually, it is delimited by roads, pathways, or by geographical features, such as a railway line or a river. It consists of several land lots which are directly next to each other, and usually privately owned.
A city block is a typical form of inner-city design. Commonly, multi-storey apartment buildings, semi-detatched houses, office blocks, or mixed-use houses make up the elements of a city block. As all the houses touch each other, this is known as a closed form.
In the suburbs, there is more space, and the buildings don't usually touch each other. This is known as an open form.
In Europe, cities have grown over centuries, and their layout is different from that of a planned city. As a result, the city block in a planned city also looks different.
The design of city blocks started with the emergence of cities, in the Middle Ages. Medieval Hanseatic cities already used city blocks. The design can also be found in baroque inner cities, such as the Dutch Quarter in Potsdam. It is typical of absolutist urban development and the tenement districts of major German cities that were built after 1870 during the Wilhelminian era. In response to the housing shortage of the 1920s, housing associations built apartment blocks with large courtyards and small apartments. At the same time, however, city planners were also looking for alternatives to the perimeter block development that was common at the time. What they did was build blocks perpendicular to the road; they would then build footpaths as access. This has the benefit that all apartments get the same amount of sunshine. It has the drawback, that larger arrangements look monontonus.This kind of city planning was widespread during the reconstruction of Germany after the Second World War, in the 1950s and 1960s. Another benefit of this model is that neighborhoods have a better airflow.
Even in antiquity , there were planned cities. Examples of this are the city of Miletus, or the model of a Roman city, which both used a regular grid layout. During the Baroque era, citty planning was common: Cities were planned with big geometric layouts, later they were divided into different land lots, before being built.
City blocks are also used for collecting statistical data on the population structure . When visualizing 3D city models, people oftenuse simplified solid bodies that are supposed to correspond to "the real building blocks."

Although all fish in Poeciliidae are called "live bearers" (viviparous), some species do lay eggs with external fertilization. All African fish in Poeciliidae lay eggs. Almost all the American Poeciliidae bear live young (except for fish in the genus "Tomeurus").
Poeciliidae has three subfamilies. The fish in subfamily Aplocheilichthyinae live only in Africa. Most Poeciliinae live in the Americas (except for "Rhexipanchax", which lives in Africa). Most fish in Procatopodinae live in Africa ("Fluviphylax" and "Pseudopoecilia" live in South America). Scientists say this means the ancestors of Poeciliidae fish the split between Africa and South America 100 million years ago, and that fish that went to South America evolved to bear live young after they got there. Poeciliids came to North America through the Antilles. They were able to do this because the Antilles and North America were connected 44 million years ago. Poeciliids then moved to Central America by the Aves land bridge on the Caribbean Plate. When South America connected to Central America three million years ago, some of the fish moved further south, but South American species did not move north into Central America.
The live-bearing species fish can be different from each other depending on how much the mother fish does for the developing larvae. Many fish in the family Poeciliidae are lecithotrophic (the mother provisions the oocyte with all the resources it needs prior to fertilization, so the egg is independent of the mother), but others are matrotrophic ("mother feeding": the mother provides the majority of resources to the developing offspring after fertilization). Lecithotrophy and matrotrophy are not always completely separate. Most scientific studies use a matrotrophy index (MI) to say how matrotrophic an animal is. This uses the dry mass of fully developed offspring (how much they weigh when they are not wet) divided by the dry mass of a fertilized egg.
Fish in the genus "Poeciliopsis", for example, have many different adaptations. "Poeciliopsis monacha", "P. lucida", and "P. prolifica" are part of the same group in that genus. However, they have three different ways of helping baby fish: "P. monacha" is lecithotrophic because it does not give its babies any resources after fertilization. The mother fish swims around with her eggs in a sac but that is all. "P. lucida" shows a middle level of matrotrophy. This means that the eggs's metabolism can change the mother's metabolism, so some food chemicals go back and forth. "P. prolifica" is very matrotrophic. The mother fish gives the eggs almost all of the food chemicals they need after fertilization. This level of matrotrophy allows "Poeciliopsis" to carry several groups of eggs that were start at different times. This is called superfetation.
Because the mother fish only has so much space in her body for developing embryos, viviparity reduces brood size. Superfetation can compensate for this loss by keeping embryos at various stages and sizes during development.
"P. elongata", "P. turneri", and "P. presidionis" form an outgroup to the "P. monacha", "P.lucida", and "P. prolifica" group. These three fish are very matrotrophic. In 1947, C. L. Turner said the follicular cells of "P. turneri" were "pseudo-placenta, pseudo-chorion, and pseudo-allantois." The greater degree of matrotrophy in a species is linked with a higher degree of placentation, including "a thicker maternal follicle, higher degree of vascularization, and greater number of villi in the placenta."
Scientists argue about why Poeciliid fish developed to give their young eggs food chemicals inside their bodies. There are two groups of ideas, adaptive hypotheses and conflict hypotheses. Adaptive ideas, including the locomotor hypothesis, Trexler-DeAngelis Model (reproductive allotment), and life-history facilitation, say that the fish's placenta evolved to help another advantage to evolve. The conflict hypothesis says the placenta is a nonadaptive byproduct of genetic tug-of-war between the mother and the eggs.

The Ferengi are a fictional group of space people on "Star Trek". They first appeared in "" in 1987. They are also in "" and "".
The Ferengi are shorter than humans. They have bald heads, large ears and small teeth. They have noses with deep ridges in them. Most Ferengi are played by short actors in heavy makeup.
The Ferengi have a very Capitalist culture. Ferengi think greed is good. In the Ferengi culture, men are supposed to gain wealth. There is a saying: "A Ferengi without profit is no Ferengi at all." Money, payment, and contracts are a big part of life. For example, a guest in a house can be charged admission.
The Ferengi home planet is called Ferenginar. The capital city has a Tower of Commerce that holds the leader's office. The leader of the Ferengi is called the Grand Nagus. The Ferengi call themselves "The Ferengi Alliance," not "Empire" or "Federation."
Ferengi culture is very male-dominated. Women are not supposed to wear clothes or appear in public. During the "Deep Space Nine" run, a Ferengi feminist named Ishka becomes the Grand Nagus's chief financial advisor. She helps Ferengi women gain more rights.
In the "Deep Space Nine" episode "Little Green Men," three characters talk about the Ferengi afterlife. It has reincarnation. Ferengi believe that if they have lived well, they will bid on new lives, like in an auction. If they have lived badly, they will go to the Vault of Eternal Destitution.
Ferengi characters on "Star Trek" often say the Rules of Acquisition. They are similar to proverbs. They are about how to get (acquire) wealth. Some of the Rules are "War is good for business," "Peace is good for business," "Never have sex with the boss' sister," and "Greed is eternal." There are 285 Rules of Acquisition.
The word "Ferengi" comes from the Persian word for "foreigner," usually a Westerner. The "Star Trek" writers wanted a race of people they could use to tell stories about capitalism and 20th and 21st century Western culture.
The first idea for the Ferengi was that they would be the main enemy aliens in "Star Trek: The Next Generation", but they were not scary enough. After that, the writers used the Ferengi for comic relief, to tell the funny parts of their stories.
There are five very important Ferengi characters in Star Trek, and all of them appear in "Deep Space Nine":

Maude Abbott
Maude Elizabeth Seymour Abbott (March 18, 1869-1940) was a Canadian pediatrician and cardiologist. Abbott was one of the first experts in congenital heart disease. Many people considered her the top expert in the world during her lifetime. She studied and documented the hearts from cyanotic patients. Abbott developed the international classification system for congenital heart disease. She recorded it in her "Atlas of Congenital Heart Disease". Her work made it possible for medical researchers to start treating heart disease in the later Twentieth century.
Maude Abbott was born in St. Andrews East, Quebec. She was abandoned by her father at a young age. Her mother died from tuberculosis when she was young. Maude Abbott and her sister, Alice, were adopted by her 62 year old grandmother.
Maude Abbott got a Bachelor of Arts at McGill University. She graduated in 1890. She was one of the first women to get a Bachelor of Arts at McGill University.
Abbott wanted to be a doctor. McGill would not let women into the medical school. Abbott ran a public campaign trying to be allowed to study there. She wrote letters to the faculty. The school would not let her in.
After she graduated college, she went to London and Vienna for two years to study. Many colleagues and teachers thought she did good work. She dreamed of teaching at McGill.
Abbott returned to Canada to work at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Montreal. She started researching cardiology. Dr. George Adami, the Chair of Pathology at McGill University was very impressed with her work. He made her the Assistant Curator of the McGill Medical Museum. Three years later, in 1901, she became the full curator of the museum. The museum was a collection of anatomical samples, which means it was body parts from people who had died. The collection was very messy, so Abbott organized it. Her idea was that she would group all the body parts by where they came from in the human body. She would then research each sample and collect all the information she could about it. She would have experts in certain areas of study give more information about the problem each sample encountered. Then, people could study all of the body parts, compare them, and learn more about how the body worked.
This organizational system was very strong. In fact, she learned so much from comparing different human hearts in the collection that she advanced medical science's understanding of the heart a lot. She first wrote a chapter on congenital heart disease for the book "Principles and Practice of Medicine", edited by William Osler. Then she wrote the "Atlas of Congenital Heart Disease," a major reference work on the human heart. The American Heart Association published it in 1936, with new editions in 1956 and 2006. This book helped medical scientists understand congenital cardiac problems. It led to treatments for these problems in the second half of the Twentieth century. Abbott was planning a textbook to add to the "Atlas". She died before she could write it.
The museum was important for other reasons. Students started coming to look at the collection and learn from Abbott. They found it so useful that they praised her work to the medical school. The school started sending classes to visit, and soon all students were required to go to the museum one day a week for lessons with Abbott.
In 1906, Abbott helped found the International Association of Medical Museums. It still exists today. It is called the International Academy of Pathology.
Starting in 1919, Abbott was the editor of the "Canadian Medical Association Journal."
She still wanted to be on the faculty of the McGill Medical School. They finally allowed her to become faculty in 1936, and then forced her to retire the same year. She traveled to give lectures. She also wrote many medical histories.
Others appreciated Abbott, however. She was named a fellow at the New York Academy of Medicine. She was widely acknowledged as the world's top expert on congenital heart disease.

Tirikatene-Sullivan was a titleholder for Ballroom dancing and American dancing. Tirikatene-Sullivan owned a boutique. Her boutique sold traditional Maori clothes and Polynesian inspired clothing. She was a role model for young people into fashion.
When Tirikatene-Sullivan was 20, she was told that she had tuberculosis. The doctors thought that it was caused by exposure to too many people, a busy schedule, and stress. Tirikatene-Sullivan advocated for other patients while she was in the hospital.
Working for her father as an unofficial assistant laid much of the foundation for Tirikatene-Sullivan's political career. She worked as secretary and research officer for the Labour Party's Maori Advisory Council and Maori Policy Committee for 10 years, accompanying her father to various official tribal hui events.
In 1949, Tirikatene-Sullivan began working as a stenographer (a person trained to type or write in shorthand words) at the Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF) Headquarters in Wellington. Shortly after, in 1951, the RNZAF Headquarters assigned her to be the secretary to the assistant director of a planned royal tour. Tirikatene-Sullivan traveled as a member of New Zealand's official party during Queen Elizabeth II's royal tour of the country in 1953 and 1954.

Rebecca Hui is an American activist and the CEO of Roots Studio. Hui fights against cultural appropriation in fashion, or when fashion businesses stealing patterns and designs from other cultures. Many famous businesses believe her work is important. She is a Forbes 30 Under 30 member, Chanel Foundation recipient, Cartier Women's Initiative Laureate, and an Echoing Green Fellow. Her work has also been written about in many magazines like Teen Vogue, VogueBusiness, and Business of Fashion.
In her sophomore year at University of California, Berkeley, she was feeling bad about not attending art school. A friend helped her get an internship at an architecture company in Gujarat, India. Her boss encouraged her to study Indian culture so she followed cows. Hui was surprised to learn that cows are very important in India. She became interested in the relationship between humans and animals because of her roommate. Her roommate was a Jain. Jainism believes in being kind and respectful to animals. Because of her roommate's kindness towards animals, Hui felt the same. While following cows she noticed that the relationship between cows and humans were very different in different areas. In rural areas, cows are common and are important for milk and farms. In cities they are used for commercial activity and sometimes are harmed by humans. Hui believes that protection of animals can help public policy. She has also tried studying elephants and leopards. During this time, she discovered that buildings were considered more important than wildlife was. She started to believe that animals were very important to keeping ecosystems alive that humans depend on.
Roots Studio is a New York based startup created by Rebecca Hui. It designs things influenced by Indigenous artists with two goals in mind. Their first goal is to give back the appreciation, credit and respect that the Indigenous artists deserve. Their second goal is to stop the cycle of cultural appropriation. Rebecca has been working with minority and Indigenous artists for the last ten years. She discovered that because of the lack of money and education, these artists were becoming laborers in cities. They could not make art. So Hui decided to create Roots Studio to form connections between communities and fashion to stop cultural loss and create more beauty in the world.

Tiny houses can stand on a fixed place, but they can also be mobile. For example, a tiny house with wheels can be transported. They may also solve other kinds of problems. They may be a way for older children to have independence, yet also stay near their parents. Sometimes the family home is too small for children to have their own bedroom. A tiny house built in the grounds of a regular property may be the solution to allowing independence whilst keeping a degree of parental supervision.
