Foreign Office

The Foreign Office is a department of the British Government. Its official name has changed from time to time, and at present it is the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO). Its head is known as the Foreign Secretary, and this is one of the four top posts in the British Cabinet.

The Foreign Office is responsible for protecting and promoting British interests worldwide. It was formed in 1782. In its present form it was created in 1968 by merging the Foreign Office and the Commonwealth Office (to FCO). Later on it merged with the Department for International Development.

The Foreign Office provides staff for embassies and other diplomatic stations throughout the world. It trains staff in foreign languages. At one time (a century ago) its staff ruled over a third of the world. The overseas British Empire recovered after the loss of the Thirteen Colonies in 1776, and reached its peak about 1920. Foreign policy made sure it was never seriously threatened.

Hispaniolan solenodon

The Hispaniolan solenodon (Solenodon paradoxus) is a type of solenodon. It is only found on Hispaniola. It is also called the Haitian solenodon, or agouta.

Description 
The Hispaniolan solenodon looks like a shrew. Adults are 49 to 72 cm (19 to 28 in) in length. Its average weight is about 800 g (28 oz). They are usually dusky brown, with a paler underside and reddish fur on the sides of the head, throat and upper chest. The tail, legs, snout, and eyelids are do not have any hair.

Distribution and Habitat 
Hispaniolan solenodon is only found on the Hispaniola. Their habitat is usually found in moist forests that are not disturbed by human activities. They are usually found below an altitude of 1,000 m (3,300 ft). They are sometimes found at higher altitudes or near developed agricultural land.

Feeding 
Hispaniolan solenodons mainly eats arthropods. It also eats worms, snails, mice and small reptiles. It may also eat a small amount of fruit, grains, and leaf litter.

Behaviour 
Hispaniolan solenodons are nocturnal. During the  day, they stay in their burrows, in trees, caves, or hide. Their burrows may have lots of chambers and tunnels. Adult male and female usually live together with six young ones.

Reproduction 
It breeds throughout the year. It has a gestation period of over 84 days. It gives birth to one to three young ones. Usually, if it gives birth to three only two will survive, because the female only has two teats. The young ones are born blind with no hair. The young ones weigh 40 to 55 g (1.4 to 1.9 oz). For two months, they are carried around by the mother. No one knows how long it takes for them to be weaned. They can live for over eleven years in captivity.

Conservation status 
The Hispaniolan solenodon is an endangered species because of habitat loss and predation by introduced species. Its numbers have decreased during the last few decades.

The species is protected by law. However, national parks in both Haiti and the Dominican Republic are threatened by deforestation, using the land for farming and charcoal production. The US Agency for International Development and the Nature Conservancy are working with local nongovernmental organisations to make the protection for these parks better.

Atmosphere of Mercury

Mercury has a very weak atmosphere. Its atmosphere contains hydrogen, helium, oxygen, sodium, calcium, potassium and water vapor. It has a combined pressure level of about 10−14 bar (1 nPa). The elements may come from either the solar wind or from the planetary crust.

Composition 
Mercury's atmosphere consists of different types of elements. These elements may come from the solar wind or from the planetary crust. The first elements discovered were atomic hydrogen, helium and atomic oxygen. They were observed by the ultraviolet radiation photometer of Mariner 10 in 1974. The hydrogen and helium in Mercury's atmosphere are believed to come from the solar wind. Oxygen is believed to come from Mercury's crust.

The fourth element that was discovered in Mercury's exosphere was sodium. It was discovered in 1985 by Drew Potter and Tom Morgan. The fifth element that was discovered in Mercury's exosphere was potassium. It was discovered in 1986 by Drew Potter and Tom Morgan. In 1998, calcium was found in Mercury's atmosphere. Magnesium was discovered by MESSENGER.

Nephrotic syndrome

Nephrotic syndrome is the medical term used to describe a collection of signs and symptoms. They occur because of kidney damage. This is different from nephritic syndrome where there are red blood cells in urine, giving it a red colour appearance. 

Nephrotic syndrome is diagnosed by doctors based on the classical symptoms of oedema,  proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia and hyperlipidaemia (which is explained below).

Symptoms and signs 
 Oedema - swelling of the body
 Proteinuria - lipids passing in urine
 Hypoalbuminemia - low albumin level in blood
 Hyperlipidaemia - high lipid level in blood
 Lipiduria - lipids passing in urine
 Hyponatremia - low sodium in blood
 Frothy urine

Causes 
Causes can be divided into two as primary and secondary causes.

Primary causes are conditions developing within the kidney.

 Minimal change disease (MCD)
 Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS)

Secondary causes affect other body parts in addition to kidneys.

 Diabetes
 Systemic lupus erythematosis (SLE)
 Vasculitis - inflammation of blood vessels

Treatment 
Treatment is with drugs that will reduce the damage to the kidneys. Prednisone, Cyclophosphamide, levamisole are some drugs used to treat nephrotic syndrome. 

In addition to that lack of albumin is treated by giving albumin from outside into a vein. Fluid retention is treated with drugs called "diuretics" which will remove excessive water collected in the body. The person is advised to consume salt, fat containing foods and fluids including water in low amounts.

Prognosis 
Prognosis is the medical term for the likely outcome of a disease. Good prognosis means the person will have a good outcome with no organ damage and no long lasting effects due to the disease.

Nephrotic syndrome in children usually has a good prognosis. However in children less than 5 years old and in adults over 30 years the prognosis is usually not good and can lead to permanent kidney damage. In these groups the disease will reappear after some time and need continuous drug treatment to keep the disease under control.

The western water-holding frog is a frog from Australia.  Scientists are not sure whether it should be called Ranoidea occidentalis or Cyclorana occidentalis''.  It lives in Western Australia.

The adult male frog is 6.0 cm long and the adult female frog is 7.0 cm long.  It has a flat body.  The frog lives in places where the ground is dry.  It has webbed feet and spends much of its time in the water.  Because it has such a wide head, scientist think this frog eats other frogs.  They think it eats them when they come to lay eggs in the same temporary bodies of water where the western water-holding frog lays its eggs.

This frog has young when it rains.  The female lays eggs in bodies of water that dry up quickly, 500 at a time.

The tadpoles are 8.0 cm long.  Once they become young frogs, they are 3.5 cm long.

Stellar atmosphere

The stellar atmosphere is the outer region of a star. It is found above the convection zone.

Structure 
The stellar atmosphere is divided into several layers:
 The photosphere is the lowest and coolest layer of the stellar atmosphere. The Sun's photosphere has a temperature of 5,770 K to 5,780 K.
 The chromosphere is the next layer after the photosphere. The chromosphere is above the photosphere. Its about 10 times the temperature of the photosphere.
 The transition region is the next layer after the chromosphere. It is hotter than the chromosphere.
 The outermost part of the stellar atmosphere is the corona. It has a temperature of 1,000,000 K. It seems that only some giant stars, and very few supergiant stars, have a corona.

Menthol is an organic compound. It is gotten from the oils of corn mint, peppermint, or other mints. It can also be made artificially. It is a waxy, crystalline substance. It is white in color. It is a solid at room temperature. It melts at a temperature that is a little bit higher than room temperature.

Menthol has local anaesthetic qualities, and reduces irritation of the throat.

Mentha arvensis is the main type of mint used to make natural menthol crystals. It is mainly grown in the Uttar Pradesh region in India.

Natural menthol is made by freezing peppermint oil and separating methanol from the frozen the peppermint oil by filtration.

Uses 
It is used as an antipruritic to reduce itching. It is used to relieve muscle cramps, sprains and headaches. It is used in some medicines to treat sunburns. It is used as a pesticide against tracheal mites. In organic chemistry, menthol is used as a chiral auxiliary in asymmetric synthesis.

2020 Brazil wildfires

The 2020 Brazil wildfires were a group of wildfires that began burning Brazil's rainforests in June and continued into September. More than 12% of all the plants in the Pantanal rainforest had burned by August.

In June, Brazil's National Institute for Space Research (INPE) said its satellites had taken pictures of 2,248 fires. In June 2019, there had been 1,880 fires.

Causes
It is normal for there to be some fires in the rainforest. Some are caused by lightning. But experts say most of the 2020 wildfires were set by humans. Satellite photos of the new fires show most of them started along roads leading into land belonging to indigenous peoples who live in Brazil.

Environmental scientists say that a time with very dry weather made the fires worse. In 2020, Brazil saw its worst drought in 50 years. Other experts say the COVID-19 pandemic also made the fires worse because government agencies were too busy to fight the fires.

Firefighter Alexandre Pereira who works in Mato Grosso do Sur said over 95% of the fires in his state had been started by people.

Environmentalist Carlos Rittl from Germany's Institute for Advanced Sustainability Studies blamed Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, who encouraged people to start fires.  He also weakened IBAMA, Brazil's environmental agency, so it could not fight fires or punish people who started fires.

Bolsonaro said the indigenous peoples started the fires, but photographs taken from craft orbiting the Earth show that the fires did not start on indigenous land. Bolsonaro has said he wants people to be able to start farms and mines on land that the law says belongs to the indigenous Brazilians.

Indigenous people
These fires are bad for the indigenous people in Brazil because they burn up the food that they would eat. The smoke from fires in some areas is flowing into other areas, harming people's health.
