Wasp
Allergy and stings
A sting is not the same as an allergy: the reaction to a sting is a normal immune response. If a person has symptoms at a distance from the sting (spreading rash or itch, tight chest, wheeze, tight swallowing, swollen lips/face, faintness or nausea), they need to seek medical care immediately. Prevention of stings is fairly easy if people understand how wasps live. Avoid eating sweet foods in their environment and take care over sweet smells when they are particularly hungry in the autumn.

It is often used for video games, movies, and television programmes, but it can also be used when talking about companies or organisations. A spin-off may have the same people, places, themes or ideas as the original.

In computer science, a holographic algorithm is an algorithm – a set of steps – that uses a holographic reduction. A holographic reduction always takes the same amount of time, and makes a big problem easier to solve. Holographic algorithms are not like laser holography, except metaphorically.

Mashpee is a town in Massachusetts. The Otis Air National Guard Base is here. Camp Edwards is also in Mashpee.
Holographic algorithm
People have used holographic algorithms to find polynomial-time ("efficient") ways to solve problems related to mathematical graphs, like satisfiability. Holographic algorithms may be connected to the P versus NP problem or computational complexity theory.

The lieutenant governor is in charge of the Senate and is first in the line of succession to the governor; in the event the governor dies, resigns, or otherwise leaves office, the lieutenant governor becomes governor.
Astrocytoma
There are many kinds of astrocytomas. They are separated into two categories; Low-grade astrocytomas and High-grade astrocytomas.
Low-grade astrocytomas
Low-grade astrocytomas usually grow slowly and stay in one place. Because of this, many of them can be treated just with surgery. Once the tumor is taken out, often no other treatment is needed. As long as they get treatment, after five years, 90% of people with these astrocytomas are still alive.
One example of a low-grade astrocytoma is pilocytic astrocytoma.
High-grade astrocytomas
High-grade astrocytomas grow much more quickly and tend to spread throughout the body. Because of this, they are harder to treat and have worse prognoses than low-grade astrocytomas.
One example of a high-grade astrocytoma is anaplastic astrocytoma. This type of tumor has to be treated with a chemotherapy called Temozolomide.

The particular shaped mountain, adjacent to the Torre del Cinquantenario, was designed by Leonardo da Vinci between 1505 and 1510, during his continuous stays on the shores of Lake Como mentioned in his Codex Atlanticus, the work is part of the Windsor Codex (on sheet 12406).
Torrione Cecilia and Torre del Cinquantenario are the Dolomite group located in front of Rifugio Rosalba (1730 m.}), and one of the most characteristic corners of Grignetta together with Alpe di Lierna.
The mountain was at the center of enterprises in 1923 with Fanny Guzzi.
There are many landscapes of Lake Como and its mountains drawn by Leonardo da Vinci, the object of his studies during his stays in Lierna. Leonardo da Vinci will study in the mountains above Lierna, from Porta di Prada to Rocca di Baiedo, from Fiumelatte to Bellagio, which "unites the two opposites into one", up to Monte San Martino, Resegone and the "Giardino di Pietra", not only the mountains but also the streams and caves beneath them, which radiate as he said like the veins of the human body. For Leonardo da Vinci, the mountains of Lake Como contain all the secret of the antiquity of the world, an essential part of the great cosmic cycle that binds rock, water, sky and the belly of the earth together. Leonardo da Vinci not only shows a theoretical interest in the mountains, but explores them in person, becoming a mountaineer in his own way.
In the drawings of the Windsor code there is a view of medieval Lecco, as well as drawings of snowy crests that belong to the landscape of the eastern branch of Lake Como, there are also drawings of the central massif of the Grigne.

Transparency
In optics, transparency is the property of allowing light to pass through something.
An object that is transparent can be seen through. The image you see through a transparent object is similar to the image you see without it. However, the object may be changed if the transparent object behaves like a lens or like an optical filter; this could change the size, shape, or color of the image. The opposite of transparency is opacity.
Some animals are transparent, so predators cannot see them so easily. An example of a transparent animal is the jellyfish. Transparency works better in places with a small amount of light than in places with lots of light.
Translucency
If some light can be seen through an object but some of the detail of the image is lost, it is a translucent material.
Light passes through a translucent object, but you cannot see objects behind it. The light passes through but the material scatters the light, so you cannot see the object, only its shadow.
Examples of translucent materials are frosted glass, thin paper, and some types of amber.

County Antrim is one of two counties in Ireland in which most of people are Protestant, according to the 2001 census, the other being Down.

History
It is unknown when the county of Antrim was formed. It was the name of a district in the early 14th century, before Edward II was king. The earliest known people to live here were Mesolithic hunter-gatherers of pre-Celtic origin,.
In ancient times, a Celtic people called the Darini lived in Antrim.
In the early Middle Ages, southern County Antrim was part of the Kingdom of Ulidia. It was ruled by the Dál Fiatach clans Keenan and MacDonlevy/McDunlavey. The north was part of Dál Riada, which stretched into what is now western Scotland over the Irish Sea. Dál Riada was ruled by the O'Lynch clan. The Dál nAraide and the Cruthin, who were pre-Gaelic Celts and probably related to the Picts of Britain lived in lower County Antrim. Between the 8th and 11th centuries there were Vikings in Antrim too.
In the late 12th century Antrim became part of the Earldom of Ulster, won by Anglo-Norman invaders. Edward Bruce fought to restore local, Gaelic, government in 1315. It left Carrickfergus as the only significant English stronghold.
In the late Middle Ages, Antrim was divided into three parts: northern Clandeboye, the Glynnes and the Route. The Cambro-Norman MacQuillans were powerful in the Route. A branch of the O'Neills of Tyrone migrated to Clandeboye in the 14th century, and ruled it for a time. Their family was called O'Neill Clannaboy. A Gallowglass sept, the MacDonnells, became the most powerful in the Glynnes in the 15th century.
During the Tudor era (16th century) numerous adventurers from Britain wanted to come and live in the region. Many Scots settled in Antrim around this time. In 1588 the Antrim coast was the scene of one of the 24 wrecks of the Spanish Armada in Ireland. The Spanish vessel La Girona was wrecked off Lacana Point, Giant's Causeway in 1588 with the loss of nearly 1,300 lives.
Historic monuments
The historical monuments of the county consist of cairns, mounts or forts, remains of religious and military structures, and round towers.
The principal cairns are: one on Colin mountain, near Lisburn; one on Slieve True, near Carrickfergus; and two on Colinward. The cromlechs most worthy of notice are: one near Cairngrainey, to the north-east of the old road from Belfast to Templepatrick; the large cromlech at Mount Druid, near Ballintoy; and one at the northern extremity of Islandmagee. The mounts, forts and entrenchments are very numerous.
Carrickfergus Castle, dating from the Norman invasion of Ireland is a well preserved medieval structure. There are, however, remains of other ancient castles, as Olderfleet, Cam's, Shane's, Glenarm, Garron Tower, Red Bay, and Dunluce Castle, notable for its dramatic location on a rocky hill.
Government
The traditional county town is Antrim. More recently, Ballymena was the seat of county government. The counties of Northern Ireland ceased to be administrative entities in 1973, with the reorganization of local government.
In Northern Ireland the county structure is no longer used in local government. Northern Ireland is split into districts. The majority of County Antrim residents are administered by the following nine councils:
Small portions of the county are administered by councils that are based in neighbouring counties, notably the village of Aghagallon in the Craigavon Borough and the town of Portrush in the Coleraine Borough.
The county contains all of five parliamentary constituencies:
