Benefits and disadvantages
There are several benefits but there are also disadvantages. The biggest disadvantage is the amount of money it takes to start a project. At first, it may seem expensive. If you look at it as a long term investment, though, a LEED project can save a good amount of money.
A 2008 white paper by the Leonardo Academy compared LEED-EB buildings to data from BOMA's Experience Exchange Report in 2007. This showed that LEED-EB certified buildings had better operating cost savings, in 63% of the buildings surveyed. It ranged from $4.94 to $15.59 per square foot of floor space, with an average valuation of $6.68 and a median valuation of $6.07.

Geoffrey V, Count of Anjou
Geoffrey V (1113–1151), called the Handsome (le Bel) and Plantagenet (planta genista), was the Count of Anjou, Touraine, and Maine from 1129. He was the Duke of Normandy from 1144. By his marriage to the Empress Matilda, daughter and heiress of Henry I of England, Geoffrey had a son, Henry Curtmantle, who succeeded to the English throne. Geoffrey was the founder of the House of Plantagenet, so named for his nickname.
Early career
Geoffrey was the elder son of Fulk V, King of Jerusalem and his wife Ermengarde of Maine. She was the daughter of Elias I of Maine. Geoffrey, born 24 August 1113, was named after his great-grandfather Geoffrey II, Count of Gâtinais. He received his nickname, Plantagenet, from the yellow sprig of broom blossom (genêt is the French name for the planta genista, or broom shrub) he wore in his hat. King Henry I of England sent his royal legates to Anjou to arrange a marriage between Geoffrey and his daughter, Matilda. Consent was given by both parties. On 10 June 1128 King Henry I knighted the fifteen-year-old Geoffrey.
Marriage
In 1128 Geoffrey married Empress Matilda, the daughter and heiress of King Henry I of England and widow of Henry V, Holy Roman Emperor. The marriage was meant to seal a peace between England/Normandy and Anjou. She was about eleven years older than Geoffrey, and very proud of her status as an Empress (as opposed to being a mere Countess). Their marriage was a stormy one with frequent long separations, but she bore him three sons and survived him.
Count of Anjou
The year after the marriage Geoffrey's father left for Jerusalem to marry the heiress of the Kingdom of Jerusalem. Geoffrey became the sole count of Anjou. When King Henry I died in 1135, Matilda at once entered Normandy to claim her inheritance. The border districts submitted to her, but England chose her cousin Stephen of Blois for its king, and Normandy soon followed suit. The following year, Geoffrey gave Ambrieres, Gorron, and Chatilon-sur-Colmont to Juhel de Mayenne, on condition that he help obtain the inheritance of Geoffrey's wife. In 1139 Matilda landed in England with 140 knights, where she was besieged at Arundel Castle by King Stephen. In the "Anarchy" which ensued, Stephen was captured at Lincoln in February, 1141, and imprisoned at Bristol. A legatine council of the English church held at Winchester in April 1141 declared Stephen deposed and proclaimed Matilda "Lady of the English". Stephen was subsequently released from prison and had himself recrowned on the anniversary of his first coronation.
During 1142 and 1143, Geoffrey secured all of Normandy west and south of the Seine, and, on 14 January 1144, he crossed the Seine and entered Rouen. He assumed the title of Duke of Normandy in the summer of 1144. In 1144, he founded an Augustine priory at Chateau-l'Ermitage in Anjou. Geoffrey held the duchy until 1149, when he and Matilda conjointly ceded it to their son, Henry, which cession was formally ratified by King Louis VII of France the following year.
Geoffrey also put down three baronial rebellions in Anjou, in 1129, 1135, and 1145–1151. He was often at odds with his younger brother, Elias, whom he had imprisoned until 1151. The threat of rebellion slowed his progress in Normandy, and is one reason he could not intervene in England. In 1153, the Treaty of Wallingford allowed Stephen should remain King of England for life and that Henry, the son of Geoffrey and Matilda should succeed him.
Death
Geoffrey died suddenly on 7 September 1151. According to John of Marmoutier, Geoffrey was returning from a royal council when he was stricken with fever. He arrived at Château-du-Loir, collapsed on a couch, made bequests of gifts and charities, and died. He was buried at St. Julien's Cathedral in Le Mans France.
Children
Geoffrey and Matilda's children were:
Geoffrey also had illegitimate children by an unknown mistress (or mistresses): Hamelin; Emme, who married Dafydd Ab Owain Gwynedd, Prince of North Wales; and Mary, who became a nun and Abbess of Shaftesbury and who may be the poetess Marie de France. Adelaide of Angers is sometimes sourced as being the mother of Hamelin.

It then flows along the Indo-Pak border for some distance before entering Pakistan and joining the Chenab River.
The total length of the river is about 720 km.
The waters of the Ravi river are allocated to India under the Indus Waters Treaty between India and Pakistan and the resulting Indus Basin Project.
It is also called 'The river of Lahore' since that great city is located on its eastern bank. On its western bank is located the famous town of Shahdara with the tomb of Jahangir and the Tomb of Noor Jahan.

Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening
Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening is the third video game in the series of Devil May Cry. It was released on the PlayStation 2 on February 5, 2005. It serves as a prequel to the first two games. It has been praised for returning the game series to its roots.
Gameplay
The gameplay has a similar playstyle to the first game in the series. It has fast-paced combat, and players fight demons using many different kinds of melee weapons and guns. Combos are pulled off by carefully moving the control stick and timing presses of the attack button.
However, new gameplay features have also been added. The biggest change is the inclusion of different fighting styles, which were also in Devil May Cry 2. These fighting styles give the player additional moves and techniques the player can use to fight. The Swordsman Style gives the player additional melee attacks, the Gunman Style gives the player additional gun attacks, the Trickster Style gives the player additional dodge maneuvers to more easily avoid enemy attacks, and the Guardian Style allows the player to guard and counter enemy attacks if the player carefully times their button presses.
The game's overall difficulty is also higher than the first two games.
Plot
The game is set 10 years before the first game. The game's main character, Dante, is in the middle of opening his private investigation firm, which he has not even named yet, before he is attacked by demons in his office. After fighting off the demons, a very large tower comes out of the ground, Temen-Ni-Gru. It is brought forth by Dante's twin brother, Vergil, and a demon-worshiping human named Arkham. Their plan is to use the tower to bring demons to earth, take Sparda's power, and to take over the world.
Sparda was a demon knight who betrayed his fellow demons so he could protect humans. After Sparda saves mankind from a demon invasion, he has a pair of twin sons with a human woman name Eva. These twins are Dante and Vergil. Each son has half an amulet given to them by their mother, who herself received them from her husband Sparda.
Dante enters the tower so he could stop Vergil and Arkham and end the demon invasion. On his way to the top, Dante fights many demons and receives new abilities and weapons from them. He also comes across other characters, including Mary, a demon-hunting human girl who wants to kill her father, Arkham, for killing her mother, and Jester, a mysterious clown who helping and attacking Dante at the same time for unknown reasons.
The first time Dante met Vergil on the tower, Vergil defeats Dante, stabs Dante with his own sword, and takes his of the amulet. Unintentionally, Dante's blood unlocks a seal on the sword and awakens his demonic powers.
As Dante chases after Vergil, he meets a large demon named Beowulf, who wants to get revenge on Sparda's betrayal of demons by killing his children. However, Dante blinds him by cutting out his other eye, so Beowulf runs away and looks for Vergil. The second time Dante and Vergil meet, Vergil kills Beowulf and acquires a new weapon to fight Dante with. Before the fight finishes, they are interrupted by Mary and Jester. It turns out that Jester was Arkham the whole time. Arkham then uses the twins' amulet and sheds blood of his own daughter, Mary, the daughter of the priestess, to break Sparda's seal. This transforms the tower and unlocks portal to the demon world. Arkham wishes to go to them demon world to take the Force Edge, Sparda's sword, to take Sparda's power and rule over a demon-infested earth.
After falling off the tower, Dante fights Mary for the right to fight Arkham. After winning the fight, Lady rewards him with her strongest weapon. Dante then climbs to the top of the tower and enters the demon world. Meanwhile, Vergil regains consciousness after passing out from his fall and immediately heads to the top of the tower, completely ignoring Mary on the way.
As Dante catches up to Arkham, Arkham takes the Force Edge. He takes the form of Sparda and then turns into a large blob monster. In the middle of the fight, Vergil joins Dante to defeat Arkham and they both take him out the demon world. After Arkham falls back into the human world, Mary disowns her own name and kills her own father. From then on, she would call herself Lady. This was the nickname Dante would give her because she refused to tell him her name.
After the fight with Arkham, Dante and Vergil have a third and final fight to take the Force Edge and both halves of the amulet. Before Dante wins the fight, the portal to the demon world begins to close. Vergil warns Dante that if he does not leave immediately, they would both be trapped in the demon world forever. Dante refuses to leave until he defeats or kills Vergil, but Vergil chooses to stay in the demon world since the it was once their father's home. Vergil then refuses Dante's help and falls down a waterfall so that Dante would return to the human world without him.
After the portal closes Dante returns to the human world, Dante meets with Lady again and gives her back her weapon. She then sees Dante crying over the loss of his brother. This is how Dante chooses the name for his investigation firm, "Devil May Cry". The two then become demon-hunting partners. While the game's closing credits are rolling on the screen, they fight the all the demons who were still on earth during the demon invasion.
After the closing credits, Dante finally opens his investigation firm with the name "Devil May Cry". In this scene, we see him wearing the same clothes that he will wear in Devil May Cry, which is set ten years later. Also in this scene, the office is shown decorated with the corpses of the demons Dante has killed throughout the game.

Children visiting the White House website would be shown around by a cartoon version of Socks.
Buddy
Things changed for the worse for Socks in 1997. The Clintons got a pet dog named Buddy, a Labrador Retriever. Socks hated this dog. Hillary Clinton said Socks "despised Buddy from first sight, instantly and forever." Bill Clinton said, "I did better with ... the Palestinians and the Israelis than I've done with Socks and Buddy."

President
A president is the leader and head of state of a country which is a republic. A president is usually elected directly through a vote by the citizens or indirectly by legislatures (parliaments) who were voted by the citizens and which represents them.
Some presidents are both the head of state and head of government, such as the President of the United States. In other countries, such as the Republic of Ireland, the President has a ceremonial role while the Prime Minister is the leader of the government. In France, the President and Prime Minister both share executive powers.
A president could also be the title of the head of a large business, company or organization.

Electing a President
Many republics have direct elections by citizens to elect a president. But some other republics do not. The President of the United States is elected by the electoral college. Some other republics choose a president this way. In some other republics, the parliament elects a president.
Countries that have a monarch as leader, are called monarchies. Some countries have neither a president or a monarch as leader, such as the Vatican City which is ruled by a religious leader called a Pope.
Companies also have presidents. They are elected by the people who own part of the company. In some companies, the people who are workers for the company elect (vote for) their company president.
Power of a President
The president of a country is not the same thing as a prime minister. A prime minister is part of a parliament, but a president is not. In some countries, (such as the United States or France), the president has more power and responsibility than anyone else. Such a president is often called the nation's chief executive. As chief executive, the president must take an active role in all phases of government. The republics where the president is both the head of state and head of government (and there is no prime minister) are called a presidential republics.
Electoral district of Murray
Murray is an electoral district of New South Wales. It was created in 1859, abolished in 1999 and recreated in 2015.
President
Power of a President
In other republics (such as India, Israel or the Republic of Ireland), to be president is more of an honor or a symbol, and the position has no real power. The real power in such republics is held by the prime minister, who is the head of government. In this kind of republics, the president is only the head of state, and are called parliamentary republics.
Electoral district of Murray
It is a conservative electorate.
President
Power of a President
In some republics (such as France or Russia) both the president as the head of state, and the prime minister as the head of government, run the day-to-day affairs of the state, but often the president has more powers than the prime minister. Such republics are called semi-presidential republics.
Most monarchies that have a king or queen as their monarch and head of state, have no president, but very few monarchies, such as the United Arab Emirates has a president who is the head of state, who by custom (but not by law) is always the emir (monarch) of Abu Dhabi, which is de facto hereditary.
The American President is restricted by the written United States Constitution, which was written to make sure that the American executive never became as powerful as in the British system. The British Prime Minister is part of both the Legislature and Executive, whereas the American President is the head of the Executive. The American governmental system shows a clear separation of powers unlike the British system.
So despite having a large nuclear arsenal, the American president can not carry out policy and introduce legislation as freely as the British prime minister.

Synchronized swimming
Synchronized swimming is a sport that is practiced in the water. It is a routine performed with music, like dancing. This sport is demanding because it needs cardio and muscular power. It also requires a good capacity of location in three dimensions in the water while the athletes are performing.
History
Synchronized swimming became an Olympic sport in 1884, in Los Angeles, with solo and duo routines. In Montreal, the first competition took place in 1924. Also, in 2000, they included team routines at Sydney’s Olympics. Synchronized swimming and rhythmic gymnastics are the only sports exclusively practiced by women at the Olympics.
Competitions
In Quebec, the provincial competitions are organised by Synchro Quebec. There are three different events to accomplish at the competition. First, the swimmer does a flexibility test that will count for 30% of the results. Secondly, the swimmer presents two to four figures in front of judges, depending on the level. Finally, all the athletes present their routine in front of the judges; there are solo, duo, combo and team routines. Figure and routine will count for 70% of results.
Equipment
To practice synchronized swimming, athletes need a swimsuit for training, a black suit for the figure test and a routine suit for each routine competition that fits with the music. For example, if an athlete is swimming a duet and a team routine, two different competition swimsuits will be needed. Also, they will need goggles and bathing cap for trainings. These are not allowed for routine competition, only for the figure test. Only a white or black bathing cap can be worn at the figure test, because the objective is to not recognise athletes. To keep hair up on their head during the routine competition, athletes make a bun that is held by bobby pins and edible gelatin. Girls put on make-up that fits with their swimsuits.
Finally, it is important for synchronized swimming athletes to train. Training can consolidate muscle endurance, cardio endurance and increase flexibility. It allows a better performance during competitions. Trainings are frequent and very demanding. Swimmers need to be at their best in competition because only few points can determine the first and the second place.

The first was laid across the bottom of the Atlantic from Ireland to Newfoundland. The first message was sent on August 16, 1858. It was from Queen Victoria to President James Buchanan. The cables reduced the communication time between North America and Europe from ten days (by ship) to a matter of minutes. The first cable lasted only three weeks. Transatlantic telegraph cables have been replaced by transatlantic telecommunications cables.
Kola Superdeep Borehole
The Kola Superdeep Borehole (Кольская сверхглубокая скважина, Kolskaya sverkhglubokaya skvazhina) was a very deep hole dug on the Kola Peninsula in Russia during 1970-1992 and closed by 2008. It was dug in order to learn more about the inside of the Earth. Digging started on May 24, 1970. The work continued until 1992, or 1994. The borehole was kept open until 2005. SG-3, the deepest part of the hole, reached 12,261 m below the surface in 1989. That is the deepest hole ever made and is still the deepest man-made point on Earth.

Kola Superdeep Borehole
Making the hole
The hole was made with different machines at different times. The Soviets started making the hole with the Uralmash-4E. Later, they used the Uralmash-15000. At first, they wanted to get to 15,000 m below the surface. The machines broke the earlier record for the deepest hole on June 6, 1979. The prior record had been held by the 9,583 m Bertha Rogers hole in Washita County, Oklahoma, in the United States. The machines got to 12,000 m below the surface in 1983. Then the Soviet Union celebrated (took special note of) this for about a year without going any deeper. On September 27, 1984, the machine broke at a depth of 12,066 m; its drill string twisted off and was left in the hole. When the Soviets started to make the hole again, they had to start from 7,000 m.

Spyro (series)
Console Games
Spyro the Dragon was released on the Playstation in 1998. It features Spyro, a small, purple dragon; his dragonfly companion, Sparx; and a multitude of fellow dragons. It takes place in the Dragon Realms, an imaginary fantasy world, which is itself divided in six worlds: Artisans, Peace Keepers, Magic Crafters, Beast Makers, Dream Weavers, and Gnasty's World. At the beginning of the game the main antagonist, Gnasty Gnorc (a half gnome, half orc hybrid), seeks revenge against the dragons for banishing him and traps them in stone. Spyro was out playing hooky and was spared from a crystal prison. The point of the game is to charge, fly, and flame your way through each world, defeating enemies, saving dragons, and eventually facing and taking down Gnasty.
Kola Superdeep Borehole
Making the hole
The greatest depth was reached in 1989. The people making the hole thought that they would get to 13,500 m by the end of 1990 and, at last, get to 15,000 m by 1993. They were not able to go any deeper, though, because they had made an error, and the end of the hole was 180 °C in place of the 100 °C they had hoped for. Their machines stopped making any holes at all in 1992. The last studies were stopped in 2005 and the place was completely closed and left alone in 2008.

Kola Superdeep Borehole
What we learned
The Kola hole got about ⅓ of the way through the Baltic Shield, the part of the Earth's crust (its outer level of rock) below the Kola Peninsula. (People who study the Earth think it's about 35 km deep at the place where the hole was made.) The rocks at the bottom of the deepest hole were more than 2½ billion years old.

Kola Superdeep Borehole
What we learned
The people who made the hole said they wanted to learn about the different levels of the Baltic Shield, how sound and heat move under the ground, or what kinds of rocks make up the deep crust, and to create new skills and tools for going deep into the Earth. One of the most important things they found was they had made an error about the kinds of rocks underground. When they looked at how sound waves moved through the Earth, they thought there should be a change from granite to basalt rocks at about 7 km below the surface. In fact, the sound waves had changed because the heat and pressure made the granite act differently. Also, this special kind of granite was broken into pieces and full of water. The water did not come from above but had been trapped in the deep crust by solid rock. Another important discovery was that the mud from the deep hole was "boiling" with hydrogen gas.
