Archaea
The Archaea (or Archea) are a group of single-celled organisms. The name comes from Greek αρχαία, "old ones". They are a major division of living organisms.
Archaea are tiny, simple organisms. They were originally discovered in extreme environments (extremophiles), but are now thought to be common to more average conditions. Many can survive at very high (over 80 °C) or very low temperatures, or highly salty, acidic or alkaline water. Some have been found in geysers, black smokers, oil wells, and hot vents in the deep ocean. Recent research has found ammonia-eating archaea in soil and seawater.

John Maclauchlan Milne
John Maclauchlan Milne, RSA (12 August 1885; Buckhaven – 28 October 1957; Greenock) was a post-impressionist artist. He was an artist of the Jazz Age - in Paris, then the French Riviera in the 1920s; in Italy, the Scottish Highlands and Iona in the 1930s; and Arran from 1940 for the rest of his career.
His career began alongside his father, landscape artist Joe Milne (1859 – 1911) in London in 1907, after Milne returned from his short-term emigration to Canada. The Milnes returned to Scotland, to Dundee, and Milne was a professional artist, based in Dundee, for the next 30 years.
Milne's uncle, William Watt Milne (1865 – 1949) was also a professional landscape artist. William left Scotland in 1914 to live and paint in Cambridgeshire for the rest of his life.
Milne was a well-known character in the Dundee Art Society and among the leading local art collectors. Demobbed from the Royal Air Force in June 1919, he returned from France and Belgium to Dundee to resume his career as an artist. He had a studio at 132a Nethergate from about 1920 until 1940.
Dundee emerged in the forefront of post-impressionist art in Scotland with the 1922 Art Exhibition including various pictures by significant French artists loaned by local collectors, as well as pictures for sale from local artists.
Milne returned to France: this time to paint and the 1922 Dundee Exhibition included ten of his paintings from Paris. In the subsequent years of the 1920s, he would spend time each spring/summer painting along the Riviera from Cassis, to St Tropez and St Paul de Vence. He was supported by collectors in Dundee. He had several one-man exhibitions, but his main show was in London at the Independent Gallery in February and March 1931.
The Wall Street Crash of 1929 and the subsequent economic depression changed the market for modern art. Milne had to adapt to changing demand for his work. His focus changed to Scotland – Perthshire, the North-west Highlands, Iona and later to Arran.
Milne was painting in the same places – at approximately the same times – in a similar style – exhibiting with the same dealers - as the four other Scottish artists who would later be packaged as "The Scottish Colourists", namely S.J.Peploe, F.C.B.Cadell, G.L.Hunter and J.D.Fergusson. JMM was a friend of Leslie Hunter and knew Fergusson. JMM exhibited alongside Peploe and Cadell.
Milne's paintings are recognised by collectors and auction houses, but he is not more widely known. Some would have him recognised as "The Dundee Colourist" or "The Fifth Scottish Colourist".
Tropical Storm Gamma (2005)
Storm history
The National Hurricane Center began monitoring a tropical wave that would later become Gamma around November 11, but the system did not develop into a tropical depression until after it had passed the Lesser Antilles on November 13. At that time, the storm was called Tropical Depression Twenty-Seven and was predicted to strengthen into a strong tropical storm or a weak hurricane as it moved across the Caribbean Sea. However, a second system developing in the southwestern edge of the Caribbean began pushing wind shear onto the depression on November 14, then weakening the depression into a tropical low; advisories were then temporarily stopped. On later reanalysis, it was found that the depression had probably become a tropical storm by November 15 at 0600 UTC for less than 6 hours, but was not named during the time.
As the remnants of Twenty-Seven moved west, the system in the southwestern Caribbean moved onto land in Nicaragua and quickly weakened, reducing wind shear on the remnant low. Near Honduras, the two systems combined and rapidly gained the characteristics of a tropical cyclone on November 18, when it was upgraded directly to a tropical storm and given the name Gamma. It is clearly unknown whether the remnant low of Gamma absorbed the low pressure system or happened the other way, but forecasters at the National Hurricane Center though that it was more likely that Gamma absorbed the other system. (If it were determined to be the other way around, the previously mentioned Tropical Storm Twenty-Seven would have been a separate and unnamed tropical storm.)
Preparations
Because the storm was not predicted to make landfall (and it did not), few preparations were taken in Honduras for the storm. But non-stop rainfall for more than a day as Gamma wandered offshore created floods that forced more than 23,000 people to leave their homes.
Death toll
As of January 24, 2006, a total of forty-one people were reported dead (while thirty-seven killed directly) as a result of Tropical Storm Gamma, mostly in Honduras, with 13 missing in Honduras.
Honduras
According to the COCEP (the Honduran civil emergency committee) dozens of bridges were washed away and about 2,000 homes were destroyed. According to the NHC, 10 bridges were destroyed from flooding, and 7 were damaged. And 5,200 acres worth of banana crops were also destroyed, causing $13-18 million (2005 USD) in damage. In addition, an unofficial report of 4.44 inches of rain was reported on Roatan Island.
Belize
Five fishermen who were at sea during Tropical Storm Gamma have been reported missing and, as of November 25, were thought to be dead after five unidentified bodies were found on the Honduran coast. Three people were killed in a plane crash from Gamma's outer rain bands; it was thought that the weather was a part of the reason. Other effects to Belize were minimal.
Caribbean islands
Two people were killed by a mudslide in St. Vincent and the Grenadines from Tropical Depression Twenty-Seven (which would eventually become Tropical Storm Gamma) when the system came close to the island. Seven homes were also destroyed by flood waters in the area and others were damaged.
Other effects across the rest of the Lesser Antilles were minimal and were no worse than that of a normal rain event. Also, two fishermen who were reported dead in Jamaica were thought to have been killed by Gamma.
Aftermath and retirement
After Gamma slowly moved away from land, Honduran government officials carried out helicopter rescues for people and families trapped by flood waters, as UN agencies began airlifting food and water to the impacted areas.
Because damage was minimal, Gamma was not retired and will be used again whenever the regular list of names is all used up in the future.
Naming and records
After all of the twenty one assigned hurricane names for the 2005 season were used up after Hurricane Wilma, the Greek alphabet was used, starting with Tropical Storm Alpha. This storm was named Gamma once it was known to have reached tropical storm strength (after it restrengthened). This was the first time that the name Gamma had been used for a tropical cyclone.
Because Gamma was the only twenty-fourth tropical storm to form in any single Atlantic hurricane season, Gamma also holds the record for being the earliest twenty-fourth tropical storm, reaching tropical storm strength on November 18. Gamma also extended the 2005 season's record for tropical storms to twenty-four, which was also enlarged four more times and ended at twenty-eight storms after Tropical Storm Zeta and a post-season addition of an unnamed subtropical storm which went originally unnoticed in October. Also, Gamma tied the record set during the 1992 Pacific hurricane season for most storms in a single basin monitored by NOAA.

Ernst Mayr
Mayr joined the faculty of Harvard University in 1953, where he also served as director of the Museum of Comparative Zoology from 1961 to 1970. He retired in 1975 as emeritus professor of zoology, showered with honors.
Mayr was awarded the Linnean Society's prestigious Darwin-Wallace Medal in 1958. He was never awarded a Nobel Prize, because there is no such prize for evolutionary biology. He commented that Darwin would not have received one, either. Mayr did win a 1999 Crafoord Prize. That prize honors basic research in fields that do not qualify for Nobel awards, and is administered by the same organization as the Nobel Prize.
Speciation
Neither Darwin nor anyone else in his time knew the answer to the species problem: how species could evolve from a single common ancestor.
Ernst Mayr approached the problem with a definition for the concept species. He wrote that a species is not just a group of individuals that look similar, but a group that can breed only among themselves.
When populations of organisms get isolated, the sub-populations will start to differ as time goes by. This way, they will evolve into new species. The most rapid genetic reorganization occurs in small populations which have been isolated. This happens if a species gets trapped on an island, for example. Or, perhaps, if the species lives in more than one environment.
Today, it is accepted that reproductive isolation is by far the most frequent cause of species splitting, and that geographical separation is the most frequent cause of this isolation. This was Mayr's most characteristic idea. Debate continues over the extent to which speciation occurs when a population is not so isolated.

Great Victoria Desert
The Great Victoria Desert is the largest desert in Australia. It consists of sand dunes, small sandhills, grassland plains, areas with closely packed pebbles (called desert pavement or gibber plains) and salt lakes. The desert is an Australian IBRA.
The desert covers a large area, about 42000000 ha in the states of Western Australia and South Australia. The distance from east to west is about 700 km. It is very dry, getting only between 200 mm and 250 mm of rain each year. It is surrounded by other very dry areas including the Nullabor Plain to the south, the Gibson Desert to the north, Sturt's Stony Desert to the east. It was named by the explorer Ernest Giles in 1875, after Queen Victoria. Aboriginal people have lived in the desert for more than 24,000 years.
Between 1953 and 1957, the British government exploded nine atomic bombs in the Great Victoria Desert at Maralinga and Emu.
Environment
The Great Victoria Desert can be very dry and sandy. However, plants and animals still live there. The plants are adapted to the dry, arid climate, otherwise they would not be able to survive. Wallabies, bandy snakes, lizards, kangaroos and many birds live in the Great Victoria Desert. These animals have also adapted to survive in extreme heat and extreme cold.

Escobedo v. Illinois
Escobedo v. Illinois,, was a landmark United States Supreme Court case decided in 1964. The Court ruled that suspects in crimes have the right to have a lawyer with them while they are being questioned by the police. This case was decided just a year after the Court ruled in Gideon v. Wainwright,, that indigent (poor) criminal defendants had a right to be assigned free lawyers at trial.
Crime and arrests
Danny Escobedo's brother-in-law, Manuel Valtierra, was shot and killed on the night of January 19, 1960. Escobedo was arrested without a warrant early the next morning and interrogated. However, Escobedo did not admit anything to the police, and was let go that afternoon.
On January 30, 1960, the police again arrested Escobedo, as well as his sister, Grace. While driving them to the police station, the police explained that DiGerlando had told them Escobedo was guilty. The police urged him and Grace to confess. Escobedo again refused.
Interrogation
Escobedo asked to speak to his lawyer, but the police refused. They said that although he was not formally charged with a crime yet, he was in police custody and could not leave. Escobedo's lawyer went to the police station and asked many times to see Escobedo, but was not allowed to.
Trial
At his murder trial, the prosecution used Escobedo's 'confession' as its most important evidence against him. A jury convicted Escobedo of murder and sentenced him to 20 years in prison.
Appeals
Escobedo appealed his conviction to the Illinois Supreme Court. His trial lawyer refused to help him, so Escobedo wrote the appeal himself. However, after the Supreme Court got his appeal, he did receive a volunteer lawyer named Barry Kroll. Together, they argued that Escobedo's right to a lawyer had been violated and that his confession had been coerced (made because of pressure, lies, and threats).
Finally, Kroll and Escobedo appealed to the United States Supreme Court. The Court agreed to hear the case.
Legal questions
The Sixth Amendment to the United States Constitution says that "In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to ... the Assistance of Counsel for his defence."
The Court had already decided that people had the right to a lawyer during trials. However, the Court had always thought that the Sixth Amendment's right to a lawyer applied to people only after they were "accused," once they were already "in... criminal prosecutions," as the Amendment itself says.
Now the Court had to decide:
For Escobedo
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) helped Kroll argue before the Court. They argued that the police violated not only Escobedo's Sixth Amendment rights, but also his Fourteenth Amendment rights.
The Fourteenth Amendment says that no state can take away any person's "life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person ... the equal protection of the laws." Escobedo's team argued that the police took away his freedom without due process or equal protection of the laws by:
Decision
The Escobedo case divided the Supreme Court. By a vote of 5-4, the Court ruled in favor of Escobedo. They threw out his conviction, and he went free.
The Court ruled that the Sixth Amendment does apply to police interrogations. In other words, people have the right to a lawyer when they are being questioned by the police.
Specifically, the Court ruled that the right to a lawyer begins before a person is charged with a crime. It begins when the police start treating a person like a suspect.
Justice Arthur J. Goldberg wrote the Court's majority opinion. He rejected the state of Illinois' argument that having lawyers around would be terrible for law enforcement. He wrote: [N]o system of criminal justice can, or should, survive if it [depends] on the citizens' ... unawareness of their constitutional rights. No system worth preserving should have to fear that if an accused is [allowed] to [talk] with a lawyer, he will become aware of, and [use], these rights. If the exercise of constitutional rights will [hurt] the effectiveness of a system of law enforcement, then there is something very wrong with that system.
Importance
The Escobedo decision affected every police department, prosecutor, and court in the country:

February 30
The February 30 or 30 February doesn't exist in both Julian and Gregorian calendar. The month February has only 28 days (29 days in a leap year).
Real life
February 30 was a real date in few calendars.
Early Julian calendar
Johannes de Sacrobosco claimed that from 45 BC to 8 BC, the February had 30 days in leap year. In 8 BC, Augustus added 31 days in August. It made the February shorter.
Swedish calendar
In 1700, Sweden tried to change their Julian calendar date to Gregorian calendar date by removing all leap years from 1700. However, the 1704 and 1708 became leap days by mistake. So Sweden added 2 leap days in February 1712 to match their dates with the Julian calendar. They changed to Gregorian calendar in 1753 by removing the 11 days from February.
Soviet calendar
Many sources claimed that from 1929 to 1940, Soviet union used a new calendar. It had 5-6 weeks and 30 days each month. Other 5 days were holidays in the calendar, just like the French Republican Calendar.
Fictional calendars
In J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth legendarium, the Hobbits have developed the Shire Reckoning.
According to Appendix D to The Lord of the Rings, this calendar has 12 months and 360 days. The month the Hobbits call Solmath actually says February in the text. The month shows 30 days.
February 30, 1951, is the last night of the world in Ray Bradbury's short story, "Last Night of the World".
