Movable walls

If it is necessary to divide a space in two or more parts, this is done by movable walls. These consist of panels that are sometimes hung from overhead rails. 

The panels reduce transmission of sound. This is essential for preventing noise passing to nearby spaces. Together with active earmuffs, panels help keep the workplace or home noise from interfering with the kind of activities which require thought and attention.

Applications include hotel function rooms, schools, conference centres, religious and sports facilities, business companies and private homes. 

In private homes they can help with some tricky problems, such as a family outgrowing the home, but not able to move to larger premises.

Portable partitions 

Portable partitions are temporary walls used to divide rooms instead of permanent walls. They may be joined together section by section, or stand as one unit. Portable walls may be fixed, or on casters for rolling, while others may be folding room dividers.

In Japanese homes and buildings, sliding panels called fusuma are widely used.

Folding screens have been used in China for over two thousand years.

Pierre Sanfourche-Laporte

Pierre Sanfourche-Laporte (born in Sarlat-la-Canéda on March 24, 1774, where he died on July 9, 1856) is a French jurist.

Biography 
His main work, Le Nouveau Valin (1809), refers to René Josué Valin and his commentary on the Marine Ordinance of 1681. The work sees the contribution of Pierre B. Boucher, professor of maritime law, and proposes a commercial code exclusively relating to maritime trade. However, the thesis of the unity of codification prevailed and on January 1, 1808 a general commercial code was published.

From 1832 to 1852, he was a lawyer at the Brussels Court of Cassation.

Alfried Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach

Alfried Felix Alwyn Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach (13 August 1907 – 30 July 1967), often referred to as Alfried Krupp, was part of the Krupp family.  They had a steel-making business in 19th and 20th century Germany.  The Krupp family is famous for taking advantage of war to make money and for enslaving workers during World War II.  At one time, the Krupp company was the biggest maker of weapons in the world.

Krupp was born in 1907 in Essen, Germany.  He joined the Nazi Schutzstaffel (SS) in 1933.  The Krupp company pretended to make farm equipment but they were really making tanks.  They moved and rebuilt factories.  Some of the workers in the factories were enslaved people from concentration camps in the Holocaust.  Historians say there were 100,000 slaved workers and as many as 70,000 of them died.

Historian Harold James says that Alfried Krupp only became leader of the company in 1943, after all the enslaving had happened, and that he was a scapegoat for the company's bad actions.  Krupp was put on trial for war crimes at the Nuremberg Trials.  He was sentenced to 12 years, but he was pardoned in 1951.

The gauge (U.S. English) or bore (British English) is the inside width of the barrel of a firearm. 

So, a 12-bore shotgun could take a cartridge with a solid sphere of lead which fits a 12-guage bore. Actually, the gun fires a cartridge which looses off a cluster of small lead pellets. They in total weigh the same as the single lead sphere which just fits the barrel.

Lead is poisonous, and builds up in the environment. By 1919, the spent lead pellets from waterfowl hunting was identified as a major source of deaths of bottom-feeding waterfowl. So the tendency is to switch to steel pellets in the cartridge. Dense (heavy) plastic pellets in cartridges is another option, standard in competition shooting.

Rossana Di Bello

Rossana Di Bello (28 August 1956 – 10 April 2021) was an Italian politician. She was mayor of Taranto from 2000 to 2006.

Biography 
Di Bello was of socialist extraction. In 1993, she founded the first Apulian club of Forza Italia in Taranto of which she became president in the same year. In 1995, she was elected Regional Councilor, and later appointed Regional Councilor for Tourism and Cultural Heritage, a position she held until 1998, when she was assigned the Regional Councilorship for Industry, Commerce and Crafts.

On 30 April 2000, Di Bello was elected mayor of Taranto with 57.5% of the votes in the ballot round. After Adriana Poli Bortone (mayor of Lecce in 1998), Rossana Di Bello is the second female mayor in Apulia, the first female mayor in the history of the city. She was reelected on 3 April  2005, obtaining 57.8% of the votes in the first round. On 18 February  2006, following the first degree sentence of one year and four months for abuse of office and false ideology in the investigation into the entrustment of the management of the city incinerator to the company Termomeccanica, she resigned from the office of mayor. She is then acquitted on appeal of all charges.

The extraordinary commissioner Tommaso Blonda, appointed in her place, declared the financial distress of the Municipality of Taranto. On 18 October, the Ionian city recorded a liability of 357 million euros. On 21 November 2006, the deputy prosecutor of the Court of Taranto asked for the indictment of the former mayor Rossana Di Bello and of other 32 people including former administrators and officials of the capital, accused in various ways of false ideological in public deed in relation to the draft and the approval of municipal budgets in the years from 2001 to 2005.

On 7 March 2007, Di Bello received another guarantee notice from the deputy public prosecutor Maurizio Carbone for abuse of office and fraud in the context of an investigation into the extension of municipal contracts. On 1 March 2011, she was acquitted by the court of Taranto for the crime of abuse of office and fraud on the procurement investigation that she was accused of due to lack of evidence.

Meitei death ceremony

According to Puya (Meitei texts), death ("shiba" or "siba") is known as "Thawai Hakchang Khainaba" (Separation between soul and body). The "Yaibi Thawai" (soul or spirit) has no death, what dies is the body. When the soul leaves the body, the moment is called death. There are two ways of death: natural and unnatural.

Death ceremony in Meitei culture is called "Pot-Loiba" (Finishing of the body elements- fire, wind, water and earth). Accordingly, there are four kinds of Pot-Loiba, which are:
 Nungshit Pot-Loi (ꯅꯨꯡꯁꯤꯠ ꯄꯣꯠ-ꯂꯣꯏ) :- death ceremony through wind or air.
 Ishing Pot-Loi (ꯏꯁꯤꯡ ꯄꯣꯠ-ꯂꯣꯏ) :- death ceremony through water. 
 Leipaak Pot-Loi (ꯂꯩꯄꯥꯛ ꯄꯣꯠ-ꯂꯣꯏ) :- death ceremony through earth, burial.
 Mei Pot-Loi (ꯃꯩ ꯄꯣꯠ-ꯂꯣꯏ) :- death ceremony through fire, burning.

Deuterium–tritium fusion

Deuterium–tritium fusion is a type of nuclear fusion. In deuterium–tritium fusion, one deuterium nucleus, or the center of a deuterium atom, fuses with one tritium nucleus. This makes one helium nucleus, one neutron, and 17.6 mega electronvolts of energy.

How to get deuterium and tritium
Deuterium is easy to find in seawater. 1 in 5000 hydrogen atoms are deuterium. However, tritium is a radioactive isotope. If lithium is exposed to neutrons with much energy, tritium is produced. The deuterium–tritium reaction also produces one neutron. In fusion reactors, a 'breeding blanket' is used where the walls of the fusion reactor have lithium on them. This way, the neutrons produced from fusion will hit the lithium and produce more tritium.

Stereoisomerism

Stereoisomers are chemicals with the same atoms as each other but different shapes.  Stereoisomers have the same molecular formula as each other but the atoms do not connect to each other in the same order. Stereoisomerism is also called "spatial isomerism." Stereoisomers are so unique because of spatial arrangements of atoms.

Enantiomers 
Enantiomers, are also called "optical isomers." Enantiomers are stereoisomers that are like mirror images of each other but can't be turned around or moved so that they are the same, the way a right hand and a left hand of the same person are mirror images of each other. Compounds that are enantiomers to each other have the same physical properties, except for the direction in which they rotate polarized light and how they interact with different optical isomers of other compounds. Pure enantiomers also have optical activity and can be separated only with the use of a chiral agent. An optically active compound shows two forms: D-(+) form and L-(−) form.

Latin Extended-A

Latin Extended-A is a Unicode block. The block has characters of letters with diacritics. This block was named European Latin in the first version.

They are used by languages other than English. The symbols usually show a change in sound, but in some cases (circumflex in French) they signal a (historic) change in spelling. The general purpose of diacritics is disambiguation of sounds. This reflects the fact that the alphabet has many fewer letters than sounds.

Plans
There were many different plans from different countries on what they wanted to speak about with the other members, with leaders from Southern Europe being worried about the security of North Africa and the Middle East, as well as being worried about the European migrant crisis. However, Eastern European member nation governments were more worried about Russia's policies towards them.
