Morelet's tree frog

The popeye hyla, Morelet's leaf frog, Morelet's tree frog, Morelet's frog, or black-eyed leaf frog (Agalychnis moreletii) is a frog that lives in Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador.  The frog has two ranges: one on the Pacific side of the mountains and one on the Atlantic side of the mountains.  Scientists have seen it between 200 and 2130 meters above sea level.

The adult male frog is 6.1 to 6.4 cm long from nose to rear end, and one female was found to be 5.9 cm long.  The skin on the frog's back is dark green to light green.  It has orange on its sides, inside its legs, and on some of its toes.  Its belly is yellow to white.  The irises of its eyes are red or purple.

This frog lays eggs after heavy rain.  The female lays the eggs on rocks or plants that hang over the water.  The eggs are green in color.  When the tadpoles hatch, they fall into the water.  The eggs do not start to hatch for 9-12 days, and they take 2-3 days to hatch completely.  Most tadpoles hatch at night.  However, scientists have seen these eggs do something strange: If something shakes or disturbs the group of eggs—for example, a tree snake trying to eating some of them—the other eggs will hatch early.  This will also happen if the eggs fall into the water.

This frog is endangered in Mexico because of the fungal disease chytridiomycosis.  The fungus has killed almost all of these frogs there.  As of 2007, the disease had spread to El Salvador too.  This frog is also in danger because of habitat loss (people changing its forests into farms) and because humans capture them to sell as pets.

Egg of Columbus

Egg of Columbus is an expression that means an unexpectedly easy way out of a difficult situation.

According to legend, when Christopher Columbus told Cardinal Mendoza about how he discovered land west of the Atlantic ocean, one of the people with them said, "What could be easier than to discover a new land?" To which Columbus offered him a simple task: to put the egg on the table and make it balance on its end. When none of the other people could do it, Columbus took the egg, smashed it from one end, and placed it on the table, showing that it was actually very simple. Seeing this, everyone began to object, saying that they could do the same. To which Columbus replied, "The difference, gentlemen, is that you could do it, when I did."

History

Historians are not sure if Columbus really did this in real life.  They think it is likely that people made the story up many years later.

Girolamo Benzoni wrote about this story in Historia del Mondo Nuovo in 1565.  Historians think Benzoni might have been the first person to tell the story, but they are not sure.

One reason they think so is that almost the exact same story showed up in another book, by painter Giorgio Vasari in 1550.  In Vasari's book, it was the builder Filippo Brunelleschi who flattened the egg.  This was to explain how he built the heavy done for the Santa Maria del Fiore church.

Uses

In English, people use term "egg of Columbus" to describe puzzles.

Writers Mary Shelley, Leo Tolstoy and others have mentioned the story of Columbus and the egg in their books.

Constraint (mathematics)

When looking at a mathematical problem to solve, there are two kinds of conditions, possible solutions must satisfy: The first kind of condition is directly linked to the problem description, and can be derived from it. There's a second kind of condition, which is not directly related to the problem description. This kind of condition is called constraint. The set of possible solutions which satisfy all these constraints is called feasible set.

Footpad

A footpad was a type of robber who attacked people who were travelling, they specialised in pedestrian victims. They were common in the British Isles from the time of Elizabeth I to the 1800s. They were thought to be socially inferior to highwaymen (who robbed on horseback), often considered low criminals, opposed to highwaymen who would sometimes become infamous as well as famous. This term was commonly used from the 16th century to the 19th century, but slowly fell out of use.

Footpads always operated on foot, and robbed people after scaring them. Usually operating in the dark, they used this to their advantage by frightening the victim and getting away unseen; some of these crimes were brutally violent, although most commited them out of need and preferred more passive methods. 

They opted for this method due to the high price of horses and the incognito factor of the dark. These activities usually took place in gangs.

Mercerised cotton

Mercerisation is a textile finishing treatment for cellulose fabric and yarn. It is mainly used for cotton and flax. The process changes the properties of the materials: They can be colored more easily, they withstand tearing better, and the fabric will shrink less, when washed. Fabrics treated that way also have a luster which make them resemble silk in some ways.

Sometimes, cotton treated that way is called Fil d'écosse. Sometimes wool treated in the Mercosett process is also called mercerised. 

The process of mercerisation is long, and realtively costly. For this reason, only higher quality textiles are treated that way.

Development 
About 1844, John Mercer developed the process. He noticed that when he treated cotton with solutions of  sodium hydroxide, this changed the properties of the cotton: The fabric shrank,  and had a higher resistance to tearing. It was also easier to color the material using dyes. 

In the original process of Mercer, no tension was applied. The product was termed fulled cotton, a nod to the process of fulling in woven wool fabric. For Mercer, making the material easier to color was the most important  technical aspect.

Mercer also tried with sulfuric acid and zinc chloride solutions and discovered the parchmentising effect of sulfuric acid.

The silk-like lustre now commonly associated with mercerising is produced by tension and was discovered by Horace Lowe in 1890.

Process 
Treatment with sodium hydroxide destroys the spiral form of the cellulose with formation of alkali cellulose, which is changed to cellulose hydrate on washing out the alkali. Caustic soda concentrations of 20–26% are used. Effective mercerization requires the use of wetting agents.

The improved lustre of mercerised cotton is due to the production of nearly circular cotton fibres under tension. Another characteristic feature is the untwisting (deconvolution) of the cotton hair.

In dry mercerization, the process is carried out while drying the fabric on a stenter.

Centre-half

The centre-half is the central defender in Association football (soccer).

In modern association football the play is more fluid than it was in the past. However, the centre-half is still the player most charged to nullify the opposition's centre-forward or main goal scorer. Originally, his role was to tackle the opposition's centre-forward.

Now his role is often seen as the distributor of the ball after his side have got possession of the ball.
This requires intelligence, whereas the role of stopper requires more physical skills.

Attractor state

An attractor state is something that systems do.  An attractor state is a way of being or moving that will stay the way it is unless something else comes in and changes it.  Systems form attractor states on their own.

For example, if a pendulum is swinging in a large clock, and someone taps the pendulum a little, it might stop swinging for a moment, but once the person pulls their finger away, it will go back to swinging.
