"Praying" is a song recorded by American singer-songwriter Kesha, for her third studio album, Rainbow. The song was written by Kesha along with Andrew Joslyn, Ben Abraham, and Ryan Lewis, known for his work with rapper Macklemore.  The song is different from her other songs. Instead of having the dance-pop and electropop styles that Kesha is known for, "Praying" is a ballad.

The lyrics talk about an abuser, and the main character states, "I hope you're somewhere praying."  Some critics have said that the song is directed towards Dr. Luke, Kesha's former producer and former owner of Kemosabe Records.

The song entered the top 20 of the charts in Australia and Canada and the top 30 in the UK and US.

Music video 
The video was directed by Jonas Åkerlund.

A driverless car (also called autonomous car or self-driving car, i.e. self-operating) is a vehicle that can perform certain tasks on its own, without the help of a human driver. . The car uses sensors to analyze its environment, and doesn't need a human's help for certain tasks These tasks commoly include parking the car, driving while keeping the same lane on a highway or driving at a predefined speed. In public places, certain buses have been  programmed to travel a given route. As of 2021, self-driving cars have been used in controlled envirnoments more and more. An example of this might be buses that transfer passengers between airport terminals.

Technology 
Typical sensors used by a self-driving vehicle include lidar, digital cameras, GPS and IMU.

High-definition maps can be used to accurately locate a self-driving car in a place, and to give information about parts of a road not seen by the car.

Ethical issues 
Even though it is technically possible to build cars that do certain things on their own, the question whether it should be done is different. Ethical questions include:

 Is a machine able to judge a situation correctly? - Can it make a difference between a stroller with a child, and a stroller with a doll?
 Is it acceptable to judge a situation by the expected death toll? (this has been formalized as the trolley problem)
 If it is acceptable to judge such a situation by the expected death toll, what are meaningful criteria? - should the age of those killed be taken into account?

Legal issues 
Even though these vehicles can already do a lot on their own, the laws of most countries still require that a driver is present. In many cases, self-driving buses also need a special permit from the government.

If a motor vehicle produces an accident, there always is the question of who is responsible, to determine what damages need to be paid.  This also applies to self-driving cars: A self-driving car is like a robot: Software is used for the driving. This software relies on a number of sensors to take decisions. Determining what went wrong in the case of an accident can be very difficult. This includes the question of who is legally responsible.

Laos "has already begun preparatory work for the 912-megawatt Pak Beng dam in the northern province of Oudomxay, according to an article in Seattle Times in 2016.

The project is going to be funded by the Chinese company, Datang Overseas Investment.

Lawsuit in Thailand
In 2021, a court of appeal in Thailand rejected an appeal for petition against the dam.

Previously, people living in eight Thai provinces along the Mekong River have been suing [since June 2017] state agencies [in Thailand] because they say that there wasn't enough public participation in planning for the Pak Beng hydropower dam, which is being built by Laos.

Some Chinese characters for non-Chinese people were racist insults where the words themselves were not the insults, but the characters chosen to write them were. These characters chosen to racially insult people are called graphic pejoratives.

History 
An example of this is the name of the Yao people. The name of the Yao people, who are native to southwest China and Vietnam, used to be written as 猺 (Yáo), which means "jackal". However, when China made language reforms in the 20th century, the name of the Yao people was changed to 瑶, which has the exact same pronunciation, but the character means "jade". 

Another example is Japan's original name. Before Japan chose its own name, the Chinese called the Japanese 倭 (Wō), which is pronounced Wa in Japanese and it means "dwarf; subservience". However, the Japanese thought the name the Chinese gave them was insulting, so the Japanese changed the Chinese exonym to 和, which has the same pronunciation as 倭 in Japanese but means "harmony", and the Japanese chose to call their own country 日本, which is pronounced Nippon or Nihon in Japanese and it means "origin of the sun".

Sericulture, also called silk farming, is the process of making silk fibers. It starts by raising silkworms and then processing the fibers they produce. Silk fibers are combined into silk thread. The thread can then be twisted into silk yarn or woven into silk cloth (fabric).

Production

Stages of production
The stages of production are as follows:

 The silk moth lays thousands of eggs.
 The silk moth eggs hatch to form larvae or caterpillars, known as silkworms.
 The larvae feed on mulberry leaves.
 Having grown and moulted several times, the silkworm pushes out silk fibers to make a net to hold itself.
 It swings its head from side to side in a figure '8' distributing the saliva that will form silk. 
 The silk solidifies when it contacts the air.
 The silkworm spins approximately one mile of filament (fiber) and completely encloses itself in a cocoon. This takes about two or three days. 
The whole cocoons are picked and boiled, killing the silkworm pupa.
 The silk is obtained by brushing the undamaged cocoon to find the outside end of the filament.
 The silk filaments are then wound on a reel. 

The amount of usable quality silk in each cocoon is small. As a result, about 2500 silkworms are required to produce a pound of raw silk.

One cocoon contains approximately 1,000 yards (meters) of silk filament. The silk at the winding stage is known as "raw" silk. One thread is made up of as many as 48 individual silk filaments.
