Oscar Hertwig
Oscar Hertwig (21 April 1849, Friedberg, Hesse – 25 October 1922, Berlin) was a German zoologist, anatomist and professor, who also wrote about the theory of evolution over 55 years after Charles Darwin's The Origin of Species.
Oscar Hertwig was a leader in the field of embryology. He discovered fertilization of sea urchins, he recognized the role of the cell nucleus during inheritance and chromosome reduction during meiosis. In 1876, he found that fertilization includes the penetration of a spermatozoon into an egg cell. He thought, correctly, that the vectors of hereditary traits resided in the nuclei of the egg and sperm.
His work on the development of sea urchin eggs was fundamental and lasting; his work on evolution was not. He was opposed to 'chance', as he thought was Charles Darwin's theory. He wrote: Das Werden der Organismen, eine Widerlegung der Darwinschen Zufallslehre (Jena, 1916) (translation: "The Origin of Organisms: a refutation of Darwin's theory of chance").

Altair
Altair, also called α Aquilae, α Aql, is the brightest star in the constellation of Aquila.
It is the twelfth brightest star in the night sky. It is in the G-cloud—a fog of gas and dust known as an interstellar cloud. Altair is an A-type main sequence star with an apparent visual magnitude of 0.77. It is one of the vertices of the Summer Triangle (the other two vertices are Deneb and Vega). It is 16.7 light-years (5.13 parsecs) from the Sun and is one of the closest stars visible to the naked eye.
Altair spins rapidly, with a velocity at its equator of about 286 km/s. This is a significant fraction of the star's estimated breakup speed of 400 km/s. A study with the Palomar Testbed Interferometer showed that Altair is not spherical, but is flattened at the poles due to its high rate of rotation. Other interferometric studies with multiple telescopes, operating in the infrared, have confirmed this.

Instruction pipelining
Instruction pipelining is a technique used in the design of modern microprocessors, microcontrollers and CPUs to increase their instruction throughput (the number of instructions that can be executed in a unit of time).
The main idea is to divide (termed "split") the processing of a CPU instruction, as defined by the instruction microcode, into a series of independent steps of micro-operations (also called  "microinstructions", "micro-op" or "µop"), with storage at the end of each step. This allows the CPUs control logic to handle instructions at the processing rate of the slowest step, which is much faster than the time needed to process the instruction as a single step.
The term pipeline refers to the fact that each step is carrying a single microinstruction (like a drop of water), and each step is linked to another step (analogy; similar to water pipes).
Processors with pipelining consist internally of stages (modules) which can semi-independently work on separate microinstructions. Each stage is linked by flip flops to the next stage (like a "chain") so that the stage's output is an input to another stage until the job of processing instructions is done. Such organization of processor internal modules reduces the instruction's overall processing time.
A non-pipeline architecture is not as efficient because some CPU modules are idle while another module is active during the instruction cycle. Pipelining does not completely remove idle time in a pipelined CPU, but making CPU modules work in parallel increases instruction throughput.
An instruction pipeline is said to be fully pipelined if it can accept a new instruction every clock cycle. A pipeline that is not fully pipelined has wait cycles that delay the progress of the pipeline.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Pipelining
Advantages of Pipelining:
Disadvantages of Pipelining:
Generic pipeline
To the right is a generic pipeline with four stages:
The top gray box is the list of instructions waiting to be executed; the bottom gray box is the list of instructions that have been completed; and the middle white box is the pipeline.
Execution is as follows:
Bubble
When a "hiccup" (interruption) in execution occurs, a "bubble" is created in the pipeline in which nothing useful happens. In cycle 2, the fetching of the purple instruction is delayed and the decoding stage in cycle 3 now contains a bubble. Everything behind the purple instruction is delayed as well but everything in front of the purple instruction continues with execution.
Clearly, when compared to the execution above, the bubble yields a total execution time of 8 clock ticks instead of 7.
Bubbles are like stalls (delays), in which nothing useful will happen for the fetch, decode, execute and writeback. It is like a NOP (short for No OPeration) code.
Example 1
A typical instruction to add two numbers might be, which adds the values found in memory locations A and B, and then puts the result in memory location C. In a pipelined processor the pipeline controller would break this into a series of tasks similar to:
LOAD A, R1 LOAD B, R2 ADD R1, R2, R3 STORE R3, C LOAD next instruction
In this example the pipeline is three stages long- load, execute, and store. Each of the steps are called pipeline stages.
On a non-pipelined processor, only one stage can be working at a time so the entire instruction has to complete before the next instruction can begin. On a pipelined processor, all of the stages can be working at once on different instructions. So when this instruction is at the execute stage, a second instruction will be at the decode stage and a 3rd instruction will be at the fetch stage.
Example 2
To better understand the concept, we can look at a theoretical 3-stage pipeline:
and a pseudo-code assembly listing to be executed:
This is how it would be executed:
The LOAD instruction is fetched from memory.
The LOAD instruction is executed, while the MOVE instruction is fetched from memory.
The LOAD instruction is in the Store stage, where its result (the number 40) will be stored in the register A. In the meantime, the MOVE instruction is being executed. Since it must move the contents of A into B, it must wait for the ending of the LOAD instruction.
The STORE instruction is loaded, while the MOVE instruction is finishing off and the ADD is calculating.
And so on. Note that, sometimes, an instruction will depend on the result of another one (like our MOVE example). When more than one instruction references a particular location for an operand, either reading it (as an input) or writing it (as an output), executing those instructions in an order different from the original program order can lead to the hazards situation (mentioned above).

Heel (professional wrestling)
In professional wrestling, a heel is a "bad guy". It is the opposite of a face, which is the word for a "good guy".
The job of the heel is to be booed by the audience (this is called getting heat), which helps to gain sympathy for the face. This can be done in many ways. One common way is to break the rules when the referee is not looking. Another way is to act in a nasty way towards the audience.
Sometimes in American professional wrestling, a person from a foreign country will play the role of a heel who hates America. The Iron Sheik, who is Iranian, is one example. He had a rivalry with Hulk Hogan, who is American and acted as a patriot as one part of his character. It is not necessary for the foreign heel to really be from a foreign country. For example, Fritz Von Erich played the role of an evil German, despite really being from Texas.
WWE has said that it has stopped making it clear whether a wrestler is a face or a heel. This is partly because audiences know professional wrestling is scripted. Because of this, they might cheer a heel who puts on good matches. Also, they may boo a face who they think is being featured (pushed) too much and is not skilled enough for it, and so any heel facing them in a match would be cheered.
In lucha libre (Mexican professional wrestling), heels are called rudos. Rudos tend to use moves that show off their strength and power. This contrasts with técnicos (faces or good guys), who use a fast-paced style and high-flying moves.

Athletics
Ait Khamouch is a Paralympic track and field athlete. He runs in 800 meter, 1,500 meter, 5,000 meter and marathon races. His first race was a race created French tourists in his hometown in Morocco. He won the race, and the prize of a small blue truck. After the race, he talked to the Morocco Paralympic Committee about competing in athletics, but Moroccans said no. After he got to Spain, he took part in a race in Barcelona organized by El Corte Inglés in 2003. He did well and people took notice. He then raced in other races in the area. The Athletics Federation of Catalonia and others helped Ait Khamouch get Spanish citizenship in time for him to represent Spain at the 2008 Summer Paralympics.
Time in China
Criticism
Some people say that (except for 112 – 128° E) the usage of UTC+08:00 was harmful. China should have five time zones. The country’s west, especially in Xinjiang, see sunrise as late as 10 a.m. CST, making children go to school in the dark, and sunsets in the summer as late as midnight.

Abandonment (or exposure) was a widely used method of getting rid of babies that parents did not want. Babies would be left outside, often in a pot or a vase, to die. It was practiced in ancient times, especially in Athens. The babies at the most risk were girls; babies with physical disabilities; ugly babies; children born to poor families; and babies who looked unwell. In past days, Women would not voice their thoughts on whether their babies were left to die. Due to the patriarchic structure of society, the fathers were the only ones who ultimately had a say.

Ileana D'Cruz
Family
She has three siblings: an old sister named Farah, a young brother named Reis, and a young sister named Erin. Her first name comes from Greek mythology meaning "torch" or "bright." In childhood, she lived in Goa for many years.
Movie debut
D'Cruz made her film debut in 2006 with the Telugu-language romance film Devadasu. It was m by YVS Chowdhury. H had seen Ileana in the ad film Fair and Lovely directed by Rakesh Roshan.
Early reputation
She was widely praised by critics, especially for her anatomy and facial features; Idealbrain's GV wrote that Ileana "made her debut very well. She not only does well in acting but also her physique is admirable which every woman would like to achieve. She has long legs and is physically beautiful." are", although a review by Indiaglitz stated that they have "a sculpted body and a dying texture." Devdasu's lead actor Ram also started his acting career, with this, he became the first major commercial hit of the year and eventually grossed ₹14 crore, although Ileana was given the Filmfare Award for Best Female Debutant for the movie.

Ileana D'Cruz
Tamil movie debut
Later in the same year, she made her debut in a Tamil language movie with KD (2006). Although the movie did not do as well at the box office, D'Cruz was so busy that she had to decline several offers. Her Telugu movie Dangerous (2006) in which she starred opposite Ravi Teja was not as good as was expected, yet she was credited for her glam performances and remained in the audience. Later, a major setback in his career came when his films Rakhi (2006) and Munna (2007) proved to be critically and financially unsuccessful.

Higgs field
The Higgs field is a field of energy that is thought to exist in every region of the universe. The field is accompanied by a fundamental particle known as the Higgs boson, which is used by the field to continuously interact with other particles, such as the electron. Particles that interact with the field are "given" mass and, in a similar fashion to an object passing through a treacle (or molasses), will become slower as they pass through it. The result of a particle "gaining" mass from the field is the prevention of its ability to travel at the speed of light.
Ileana D'Cruz
Ata
D'Cruz's career again took a turn when she starred in the 2007 movie Ata, opposite Sidharth. She was widely thanked for her performance as Satya, a college student who runs away from the home minister's devious son and comes under attack as she marches to demand punishment for her crime. Idlebrain describes them as "beautiful" and "a comfort to the eyes".
Jalsa
In 2008 she played the lead role in Jalsa opposite Pawan Kalyan. She is currently considered the most expensive actress in the South Indian movie industry, being paid ₹ 1.75 crore as remuneration as of 2008.
Career since 2009
Her 2009 movie with Ravi Teja titled Kick was declared a box office hit. After that in 2009, she starred in Rechipo with Vishnu Manchu and YVS Chowdhary's Salim, both of which failed at the box office. Ileana recently wrapped up shooting for Shakti, where she worked with Jr. NTR before she worked with him in Rakhi. Puri Jagannadh has signed her for their upcoming film Nenu Na Rakshasi. This will be Ileana's second movie with Puri after the massive success of Pokkiri in 2006. She has also done an item song for the Kannada movie Huduga Hudugi with the lyrics "Ileana Ileana". Currently, Ileana will begin shooting for the Telugu and Tamil adaptation of the Hindi film 3 Idiots, where she will be essaying the role of Kareena Kapoor. S. Shankar will direct it. Her next offering will be Anurag Basu's Barfi in which Ileana will be working with Ranbir Kapoor.
Higgs field
If the Higgs field did not exist, particles would not have the mass required to attract one another, and would float around freely at light speed.
The Higgs effect
In 2013 the Higgs boson, and implicitly the Higgs effect, were tentatively proven at the Large Hadron Collider (and the Higgs boson was discovered on July 4, 2012). The effect was seen as finding a missing piece of the Standard Model.
According to gauge theory (the theory underlying the Standard Model), all force-carrying particles should be massless. However, the force-particles that mediate the weak force have mass. This is due to the Higgs effect, which breaks the SU(2) symmetry; (SU stands for special unitary, a type of matrix, and 2 refers to the size of the matrices involved).
A symmetry of a system is an operation done to a system, such as rotation or displacement, that leaves the system fundamentally unchanged. A symmetry also provides a rule for how something should always act unless acted on by an outside force. An example is a Rubik's Cube. If we take a Rubik's cube and scrambled it by making whatever moves we want, it is still possible to solve it. Since each move we make still leaves the Rubik's cube solvable, we can say that these moves are 'symmetries' of the Rubik's cube. Together, they form what we call the symmetry group of the Rubik's cube. Making any of these moves doesn't change the puzzle, always leaving it solvable. But, we can break this symmetry by doing something like taking the cube apart, and putting it back together in a completely wrong way. No matter what moves we try now, it is not possible to solve the cube. Breaking the cube apart and putting it back together in the wrong way is the 'outside force': Without this outside force, nothing we do to the cube makes it unsolvable. The symmetry of the Rubik's cube is that it stays solvable whatever moves we make, as long as we do not take apart the cube.
Creation of Higgs boson
The way that the SU(2) symmetry is broken is known as "spontaneous symmetry breaking". Spontaneous means random or unexpected, Symmetries are the rules that are being changed, and Breaking refers to the fact that the symmetries are no longer the same. The result of spontaneously breaking the SU(2) symmetry can be a Higgs boson.
Reason for Higgs effect
The Higgs effect occurs because nature "tends" towards the lowest energy state. The Higgs effect will happen because gauge bosons near a Higgs field will want to be in their lowest energy states, and this would break at least one symmetry.
To justify giving mass to a would-be massless particle, scientists were forced to do something out of the ordinary. They assumed that vacuums (empty space) actually had energy, and that way, if a particle that we think of as massless were to enter it, the energy from the vacuum would be transferred into that particle, giving it mass. A mathematician named Jeffrey Goldstone proved that if you violate a symmetry (for example, a symmetry with a Rubik's cube would be if you state that the corners must always be rotated 0 or 3 times to be solvable (it works)), a reaction will occur. In the case of the Rubik's cube, the cube will become unsolvable if violated. In the case of the Higgs field, something named after Jeffrey Goldstone (and another scientist who worked with him named Yoichiro Nambu) is produced, a Nambu-Goldstone boson. This is an excited or energetic form of the vacuum, which can be graphed revealing that shown above. This was first explained by Peter Higgs.
Shopping

Pontefract
Pontefract is a town in West Yorkshire, England. It is part of the City of Wakefield. It has about 28,000 people. It is famous for its Liquorice flavoured Pontefract cakes.
Shopping
Large, indoor shopping mall s became commonplace in the 1950s.
People who go shopping visit shops. Those people are called "shoppers". They may go to buy things, or just to look. It is mostly explained like leisure.
Characteristics
Often shopping means not just buying goods, but the whole complex, which also includes entertainment (restaurants, cafes, cinema, etc.).
In modern society, about a third of all goods are manufactured for the real needs of people, and the rest belongs to the "optional" group (new fashionable models of mobile phones, color "tabloid" magazines, "super-cutters", "Fat burners", etc.).
Benedictine
The word Benedictine usually refers to a follower of the Order of Saint Benedict. These people usually lead a life in an abbey. They follow the rule of Benedict of Nursia. Benedict lived in the 6th century. He made some rules, called the Rule of St Benedict these people follow. The rules can be summed up by pax (peace) and ora et labora (pray and work).
Shopping
Characteristics
In some places, shopping is considered an important activity or even a hobby.
Benedictine
Most Benedictines see themselves as part of the Catholic Church. Some can also be found in the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Anglican Church. Officially, the order is known as Ordo Sancti Benedicti (OSB).
Shopping
Characteristics
There is a television program called Shop till you drop. It is a game show for shoppers.
As in the case of alcohol, drugs, gambling, the Internet, food, with a passion for shopping, a painful addiction called oniomania can develop, also named shopaholism. Psychologists confirmed that addicted people become dependent on doing shopping, being in a state of euphoria and thus reducing a level of stress.
Currently, online shopping is becoming an important part in the retail industry. According to different studies, women are more involved in shopping — about 80% of consumers at all.

Shopping
Benefits
1. Lifts your mood.
Shopping is associated with a sense of achievement. Think about the time you scored a vintage necklace from your local neighborhood thrift shop. You were elated to find a piece of jewelry that was unique and within your budget. The heightened emotions of happiness release endorphins, known as the "feel good" chemicals in your brain. Endorphins help you refocus your mind on your body movements, improving your overall mood.

2. Lowers stress levels.
When you shop, you socially interact with people around you - whether they're fellow shoppers or sales associates. In addition, shopping with a best friend, partner, or family member provides a bonding experience that can reduce stress levels. In a study published by the American Psychological Association (APA), levels of cortisol, the stress hormone, were tested in kids who were with their best friend versus kids who were alone during a negative experience. Kids who were with their best friends during a negative experience produced less levels of cortisol than their counterparts, which suggests any form of bonding can be good for the mind, body, and soul.

Benefits
3. Mental activity
The mental, physical, and social engagement of shopping can keep your perception intact even in old age. When you shop, you are physically active by walking, going up and down escalators, and trying on clothes. The mental component of shopping is introduced when you revise your budget, check which on-sale item is better, and calculate your total cost. Socially, you meet up with friends or you hold small-talk with an employee at a department store.
It's essential to keep your mental acuity in focus as you age. Therefore, shopping can help prevent dementia, an illness that affects many adults in the beginning of their 60s.
4. Maintenance of health
Daily shopping trips were linked to an increase in survival rate with the collection of data of approximately 2,000 elderly men and women aged 65 and over from Taiwan and the statistics of the country's National Death Registration from 1999 to 2008.
"For example, elders may maintain a mall walking routine, perhaps regarded as shopping activity, although more to do with the need to belong to a community or keep physically active in a safe and convenient environment," says the study.
