Isiaka Adeleke
Isiaka Adetunji Adeleke (15 January 1955 – 23 April 2017) was a Nigerian politician. He was a two time senator who represented the People's Democratic Party (PDP) in Osun State from 2007 to 2011 and was elected again under the banner of the All Progressives Congress in 2015. He became a member of the Nigerian Senate in 2007. He ran for reelection in April 2011 on the PDP platform, coming second with 77,090 votes. The winner was Mudasiru Oyetunde Hussein of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) with 121,971 votes.
Adiabatic process
An adiabatic process is a thermodynamic process where a fluid becomes warmer or cooler without getting heat from, or giving it to, something else. Usually the temperature instead changes because of changes in pressure.
Isiaka Adeleke
Adeleke suffered a heart attack and died on 23 April 2017 in Osogbo, Nigeria, aged 62.
Adiabatic process
Adiabatic cooling is the usual cause of cloud s. When warm, humid air rises due to convection or other cause, water condenses to make clouds, and in some cases precipitation. Convection also causes cold air to sink. This warms it adiabatically, often destroying a cloud and sometimes causing any precipitation to evaporate before hitting the ground.
Description
If we take some fluids in an insulated system and expand or compress the system very fast, the system won't be able to gain or loose any heat (from outside of the system). (In reality, you can't get a perfectly insulated system. But in some cases, the heat transfer is so low that we can call them adiabatic process.)
From the first law of thermodynamics, we know that,
Here, \Delta U is the change of internal energy; \Delta Q is the change of heat and \Delta W is the change of work.
Since there occurs no heat transfer in adiabatic process, the \Delta Q becomes 0. So, for adiabatic process, the equation is,
Again, we know that .(W = F s;F = p A; V = A s; so, )
Here, V is volume; F is force; p is pressure; A is the area and s is the distance.
So, the equation stands as,
Which means, by doing work (changing volume), one can change the internal energy (and so the temperature) in a adiabatic process.
Adiabatic process for ideal gas (for reversible adiabatic process)
Again, in constant volume, the heat capacity of one mole gas is,
Here, \Delta T is the change of temperature and T is the temperature।
But, in constant volume (as no work is done),
So,

Andrew Lang (31 March 1844 – 20 July 1912) was a Scots poet, novelist, literary critic, and contributor to the field of anthropology. He is best known as a collector of folk and fairy tales. The Andrew Lang lectures at the University of St Andrews are named after him.
Paul is dead
"Paul is dead" is an urban legend and conspiracy theory suggesting that Paul McCartney of the English rock band the Beatles died in 1966 and was secretly replaced by a look-alike.
In September 1969, American college students published articles claiming that clues to McCartney's supposed death could be found among the lyrics and artwork of the Beatles' recordings. Rumours declined after a contemporary interview with McCartney was published in Life magazine in November 1969.
The evidence
The legend is based on a range of ideas. One theory says that facial recognition proves that a different person "became" Paul after 1966. The Abbey Road cover clues include:
Uxbridge and South Ruislip (UK Parliament constituency)
Uxbridge and South Ruislip is a constituency of the UK Parliament in Greater London. It was created in 2010.
Monophyly
Monophyly means common descent from a single ancestor. Biologists have introduced a kind of taxonomy called cladistics. The aim of this is to make biological classification fit what we know about the way organisms evolved.
Uxbridge and South Ruislip (UK Parliament constituency)
Since 2010, the seat has been held by the Conservative Party. John Randall was MP from 2010 to 2015. Boris Johnson was MP from 2015 to 2019.
Monophyly
If there is a group made of a common ancestor, and all its descendants, that group is monophyletic. (Greek: "of one race").
La Junta, Colorado
The City of La Junta is a city that is the county seat and the most populous city of Otero County, Colorado, United States. The city population was 7,568 at the U.S. Census 2000.
Uxbridge and South Ruislip (UK Parliament constituency)
Boris Johnson became Prime Minister of the UK from 24 July 2019 to 6 September 2022.
In 2017 he got 5,034 votes more than his nearest rival. This was the smallest majority of any sitting prime minister since 1924.
In 2019, his main rival was the Labour Party candidate Ali Milani. In April 2019, think-tank Onward classified the seat as "vulnerable" for the Conservatives. In November 2019, YouGov classified the seat as "likely Conservative".
The Brexit leave vote is estimated by the House of Commons Library as 57.2%. In August 2018, The Observer reported that opinion had changed, with 51.4% of voters now supporting Remain.
In 2019, satirical candidates Count Binface and Lord Buckethead stood for election. The candidate William Tobin aimed to receive no votes. He is unable to vote as he is an expat who has lived abroad for 15 years.
History
Most of the constituency came from that of Uxbridge with parts from Ruislip-Northwood and Hayes and Harlington.
The Conservative party won the seat in 2010 and 2015.
In 2010, the Conservative candidate was John Randall.
In 2015, Boris Johnson was the winning candidate for the conservatives.

Monophyly
A group which contains organisms, without their common ancestor, is called polyphyletic. Convergent evolution is a usual cause of such groups. If a group contains the common ancestor, but leaves out some of its descendants, it is called paraphyletic. All living things on this planet are thought, on the basis of DNA analysis, to be monophyletic, that is, to have one origin, not many.
Melon-headed whale
The Melon-headed Whale (Peponocephala electra) is a mammal of the oceanic dolphin family.
It is closely related to the Pygmy Killer Whale and the Pilot Whale. These dolphin species are known by the common name "Blackfish". The Melon-headed Whale is widespread throughout the world's tropical waters, although it is not often seen by humans because it prefers to live in deep water.
Monophyly
Example: all species in the genus Homo have come from the same ancestral form in the family Hominidae, and no other descendants are known. Thus the genus Homo is monophyletic.
If, on the other hand, it were discovered that Homo habilis had developed from a different ancestor from Homo sapiens, and this ancestor were not included in the genus, then the genus would be polyphyletic. Since biologists by and large tend to prefer monophyletic groups, in this case, they would likely either split the genus or broaden it to include the additional forms.
Example of polyphyletic group: Sea slugs.
Polyploidy
Sometimes taxonomists are frustrated fitting plant species into a monophyletic group because of polyploidy. There is clear evidence that some polyploid plant species are of multiple origins (the species has arisen more than once). For example, Salsify, the hybrid goat's-beard, (Tragopogon miscellus) has formed as many as 20 times in eastern Washington.

Joe Jonas
Joseph Adam Jonas (born August 15, 1989) is an American singer-songwriter, and actor. He became known as a member of the pop rock band the Jonas Brothers, alongside his brothers Kevin and Nick.
He starred in Camp Rock (2008) and its sequel Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam (2010) as well as two television series, Jonas Brothers: Living the Dream (2008–2010) and Jonas (2009–2010).
After the Jonas Brothers officially split-up, Jonas formed the funk-pop band DNCE in 2015. The group became well known for their debut single "Cake by the Ocean", which peaked at number 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the United States.
In 2019, he married English actress Sophie Turner.
Limestone
The calcium carbonate is originally produced by living organisms. Later, some of it goes into solution in sea water. Limestone rocks include mainly organic remains and precipitated carbonate.
Limestone is about 10% of the total volume of all sedimentary rocks.
Formation
Limestones are mostly made of calcium carbonate. It is originally made by small photosynthetic protists like certain bacteria, coccolithophores, and algae. Then the carbonate gets used by various animals, like bivalves and the polyps which make coral reefs. They build their shells or framework out of CaCO3 crystals.
Carbonates are rocks formed from these sources, plus any CaCO3 which is precipitated out of solution. Some carbonate dissolves in the water. It gets precipitated when the physical condition of the water changes. For example, if the concentration of CaCO3 is high, then a temperature drop, or a pH (acidity) change, can cause precipitation.
Florida Bay
Florida Bay, the shallow lagoon behind the Florida Keys, is a model for the conditions which produced limestones on the continental shelf. Of course, all the species were somewhat different then but, as an ecosystem, it is similar.
In Florida Bay there is a lot of a type of flowering plant called sea grass. There is also a lot of white, milky water full of calcium carbonate. This is mainly formed by Melobesia, a small red alga which lives on the sea grass. p151 Finally, the organisms produce huge amounts of slime, which is a polysaccharide. There is good reason to think the slime is produced by microorganisms to control the way their carbonate skeletons are formed. p139 As a side-effect the slime limits the amount of carbonate which goes into solution. p155
Florida Bay is a flat platform which has laid down a huge amount of carbonate rock.
Fossiliferous limestones
Many limestones contain fossils, and some are made up almost entirely of skeletal material. Chalk is ~99% coccoliths; Solnhofen limestone is famous for its animal fossils; and there are many shelly limestones from different periods. Limestone is not found much before the Cambrian period, because shelled animals had not yet evolved.
Marble
When limestone is heated to a high temperature, and squeezed at the base of a mountain, it recrystallizes into the metamorphic rock marble. Marbles are fairly dense, relatively easy to cut, or be shaped into blocks, and some forms are white in colour.
INSEE
INSEE (Institut National de la Statistique et des Études Économiques) is the French national institute for Statistics and Economic studies. The INSEE was created in 1946. It replaced the National Statistics Service (SNS) which was created under the Vichy government during World War II.
Limestone
Uses
Limestone is hard enough to resist weathering but usually soft enough to be worked (cut and carved) by stonemasons. It is used for building material. Limestone, particularly Portland limestone, became popular in the 19th and 20th centuries for building things such as churches, banks and houses. However, acid rain does slowly erode limestone.
Limestone is used to make glass and cement. It is also used to make iron in a blast furnace, to remove impurities from the iron ore.
Iodic acid
Iodic acid is a chemical compound. It is also an acid. Its chemical formula is HIO3. It contains hydrogen and iodate ions. The iodine is in its +5 oxidation state.
Stephanie Kwolek
Stephanie Louise Kwolek (July 31, 1923 – June 18, 2014) was an American chemist. She invented poly-paraphenylene terephthalamide—better known as Kevlar.
She was born in the Pittsburgh suburb of New Kensington, Pennsylvania. Kwolek won many awards for her work in polymer chemistry.
Kwolek died in Wilmington, Delaware from a short-illness, at the age 90 on June 18, 2014.
Iodic acid
Properties
It can form several things when it is reduced. If there is a lot of reducing agent, it is reduced to iodide. If there is a lot of iodic acid, it is reduced to iodine. If there is a lot of chloride, then it is reduced to iodine trichloride, a yellow liquid.
Preparation
It can be made by electrolysis of an acidic iodide solution.
Uses
Iodic acid is used to make other iodates by reacting bases with iodic acid. It is also used as a strong acid.
Pando (tree)
Pando (Latin for "I spread out"), also known as the trembling giant, is a colony of aspen trees, in Utah.
The trees that make up the colony are clones: they are genetically identical. The colony is made of about 47.0000 single trees and covers about 47 ha. The roots of these trees are linked. A single aspen tree will not grow older than 100 to 130 years. New trees will grow, others will die off. The whole organism may be about 80,000 years old. It is the oldest known living organism on Earth.
Humans brought mule deer into the region, which may be a threat to Pando. On the other hand, aspens are resistant to browsing: their leaves contain some unpleasant chemicals. In a study done in the 2000s, scientists analyzed aerial photographs of the region. They found that Pando has not grown in size in the last 30–40 years. Therefore, they say that it may be threatened.

Apple Maps
Apple Maps is a mapping service. It is an app that comes with every iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, and Apple Watch, but not available on the web. It gives information about local businesses and their ratings, and reads driving directions as you are driving; or on an Apple Watch, it will vibrate when you need to turn. Apple Maps is also known for its 3D views of many major metro areas, which has been compared favorably to Google Earth.
It started in 2012, but when it started many users did not trust it and went back to using Google Maps. Apple has been busy fixing it so users can trust it, and nowadays Apple Maps is used 3.5 times as much as Google Maps on devices Apple Maps is supported. At first, Apple Maps was only on iOS, but Apple has made it so Apple Maps can also be used on Macs and Apple Watches.

Florida School for Boys
The Florida School for Boys was a reform school, which was active from 1900 to 2011. Reform schools are schools for young people who have been convicted of a crime, but who still need to go to school, or to finish an education.
This school became known for two reasons:
Violent behaviour including knife fights were comomn at the school. Nevertheless, little documentation exists for most of these deaths.There is a cemetery at the school; it contains several graves, almost all of them are unmarked. Remains of dead people have also been found outside the school ground. Investigations were called for as early as 1903, and also in the 1960s, but the first full investigation occurred in the year 2009. It did not find any useful information. The school was closed in 2011, officially for economic reasons.
Picts
The Picts were ancient Celtic people from northern and eastern Scotland.
Saint-Yzan-de-Soudiac
Saint-Yzan-de-Soudiac is a commune. It is found in the Aquitaine region in the Gironde department in the southwest of France.
Picts
They are first mentioned in written records in AD 297, before the Roman conquest of Britain. The name 'Pict' is from the Latin pictus meaning 'painted.' This may have been due to reports from the Romans that the Picts tattoos on their bodies, along with reports that ancient Celtic Britons during Roman times would paint themselves various terms that are now translated as "woad", but originally may have meant "glass" and "green" (vitrum and glastum, respectively). This process is described as staining the skin of battle wounds a dark color, since woad is a powerful astringent. It may also refer to a name they called themselves, that was recorded by the Romans.
They spoke a Pictish language. It was related to the Brythonic languages spoken by the Britons living to the south. Picts were possibly the descendants of the Caledonians and other tribes that were mentioned by Roman historians.
The area of Scotland called Pictland gradually merged with the Gaelic kingdom of Dál Riata. This formed the kingdom of Alba, later known as Scotland. Alba then expanded, absorbing the British kingdom of Strathclyde and Bernician Lothian. By the 11th century the Pictish identity had become a part of the Scottish people.

Root
The roots of a plant is the part that is usually buried in the soil. Roots are usually always under the soil, though–sometimes roots can be above the ground. This is called an aerial root.
Also, stems can sometimes be under the soil (potatoes, for example). Roots do not have leaves, and are different from stems inside.
Personalized video game
A personalized video game is a video game made for specific people, usually as a luxury gift. It can contain personal information of who the game is for. They are usually made for birthdays, anniversaries and engagement proposals.
Root
Plants need their roots especially for three reasons: The roots take water and nutrients, a sort of food, from the soil. They also often store this food. And they fix the plants to the ground.
Podklanc
Podklanc is a settlement on the left bank of the Meža River south of Dravograd in the Carinthia region in northern Slovenia.

Long range shooting
Long range shooting is a relative term generally meaning accurate shooting at distances ordinary shooters with ordinary rifles could not hit. For example, Daniel Boone, using a flintlock rifle could probably hit a target at up to 100 yds. Today, expert marksmen are hitting targets well over 1 mi away. Modern long range shooting is more than just using modern machined actions and precision gun barrels. These produce a rifle that a decent shooter can hit targets at about 250 yards, ranges that were unheard of by black powder shooters.

Ofanto
Course
The Ofanto river starts in the Apennines mountains, within the Irpinia (a historical region of the southern Apennines around Avellino), at an elevation of about 715 m, in the comune of Torella dei Lombardi, Province of Avellino, Campania. From there it runs southeast flowing into Lago di Conza, a man-made reservoir.
Root
There are two sorts of root systems:
Period 3 element
Period 3 elements have electrons in the first three electron shells. The first and second electron shells are always full. The third electron shell (valence electrons) fills when atomic number gets bigger. Two electrons join the 3s orbital, and six electrons join the 3p orbitals.
Ofanto
Course
The river forms the border between the province of Avellino and the province of Potenza and then turns to the north, forming the border between the province of Foggia and the province of Potenza. It then turns to the northeast and forms the border between the province of Foggia and the province of Barletta-Andria-Trani.
Château de Montsoreau-Museum of Contemporary Art
It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Root
Some roots go very deep into the ground. One root that was found in Arizona, USA, was 60 m below the surface.
Ofanto
Course
Finallly, the river flows, in the community of Fiumara between Margherita di Savoia and Barletta, into the Adriatic Sea near the Gulf of Manfredonia.
The Ofanto flows through 3 regions, 4 provinces and 33 comuni, all in South Italy:
Root
Roots are also very strong. Some tree roots can destroy stones. Roots are not green because the cells have no chlorophyll.
Shatsky Rise
The Shatsky Rise is an oceanic plateau southeast of Japan. It lies on the floor of the Pacific Ocean.

Long range shooting
Calculations
The ability to hit a target at 1000 yds (or 10 football fields away) requires the shooter to become an expert in ballistics. First, the shooter has to know exactly how far away target is. They have to be able to compensate for windage (the effects of wind on a bullet). Next, the shooter has to compute the "elevation". This is how far above the target the shooter must aim to compensate for the force of gravity on the bullet at a given distance. Shooters have to compensate also for shots uphill or downhill from their position.

CFP franc
The CFP franc (usually just called franc) is the currency used in some of France's overseas colonies (French Polynesia, New Caledonia and Wallis and Futuna). It was created in December 1945. The initials CFP originally stood for Colonies françaises du Pacifique ("French colonies of the Pacific") but now officially stand for Change Franc Pacifique ("Pacific Franc Exchange"). There are 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 CFP franc coins and 500, 1000, 5000 and 10 000 CFP franc banknotes. An ordinance of September 15, 2021, which entered into force on February 26, 2022, defines the name CFP franc as the "franc of the French communities of the Pacific"..
Philippe Méaille
Philippe Méaille (born 27 April 1973) is a French author and art collector, and the founder and president of the Château de Montsoreau-Museum of Contemporary Art.
Long range shooting
Calculations
Other factors include "bullet Drift". This means a bullet that fired out of the barrel with a muzzle velocity (speed at the muzzle) of 2800 FPS that exits a barrel with 1:12 rifling is spinning at 168,000 RPMs. At just 1000 yds the bullet will drift about 10 in in the direction it was spinning. If the rifle has a right-hand twist, the bullet will go to the right of the target.
Philippe Méaille
Philippe Méaille owns the world's largest collection of Art & Language works.
Citations
"When I was 20 or 21, I bought a work of Art & Language of 1965 called Mirror Piece and installed it in my appartment in Paris. After two or three days, I felt sad and stupid because I understood the limit imposed if these works were kept private. They would be like a discussion that was kept secret. Therefore I felt a responsibility to make this collection accessible to the widest possible public - The Private Museum of the Future, Cristina Bechtler interview with Philippe Méaille, 2016."
Long range shooting
Spotter
Long range shooters, and especially sniper s, operate as a team. As difficult as long range shooting is, it would be even harder without a spotter. Spotters are also trained snipers or long range shooters. The spotter has a number of jobs. He helps locate the target. He does most of the calculations for elevation, windage, and hitting a moving target. With several targets, the spotter decides which to hit first. Spotters also measure the humidity, temperature, and the angle of the shot. He then tells the sniper/shooter what adjustments to make to the rifle scope. Finally, the spotter tells the shooter where the round hit—on target or a miss—and what adjustments to make to get back on-target.

Château de Montsoreau-Museum of Contemporary Art
Château de Montsoreau-Museum of contemporary art project began in November 2014. In June 2015, Philippe Méaille and Christian Gillet created a surprise in France, jointly announcing the signing of a long-term lease (between the Maine-et-Loire department and Philippe Méaille) on the Chateau de Montsoreau property. The Château de Montsoreau-Museum of Contemporary Art becoming the first Château of the Loire Valley to be transformed into a museum of contemporary art. Despite the desire of both parties to create an international museum of contemporary art, and the ability from Méaille to endowing it with the world's largest collection of works by the radical conceptualists of Art & Language, and to seize the opportunity to develop the international tourist audience of the Loire Valley, the announcement created controversy. Frédéric Béatse, former Mayor of Angers, and socialist political leader, protests against what he calls « a sale of a jewel of the department to a private foreign player ». Gérard Persin (mayor of Montsoreau), and Christian Gillet both reacted very quickly to these protests during a press conference. Gérard Persin stated: « It is a pride to have been chosen to host a center of contemporary art of international stature ». Christian Gillet put the project in its international ambition and potential development for the territory: « The idea of Philippe Méaille, connoisseur and lover of the site, is to install a center of contemporary art featuring his collection, already world famous and renowned, we have considered an interesting challenge ». And Philippe Méaille clarified his intentions: « This public-private partnership appeared to us as an innovative solution that will be integrated into the Saumur territory in its entirety: Saumur and its agglomeration but also the nearby Fontevraud Abbey ».
Graeme Allwright
Graeme Allwright (7 November 1926 – 16 February 2020) was a New Zealand-born French singer and songwriter. His music "provided anthems for the French left-wing counter-culture." He became popular in the 1960s and 1970s as a French language interpreter of the songs of songwriters such as Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan and Pete Seeger. His greatest success came with his third album, Le jour de clarté (1968). It included adaptations of two songs by Leonard Cohen ("Suzanne" and "The Stranger Song"), two by Tom Paxton, and others by Pete Seeger, Jackson C. Frank and Roger Miller. He continued to work when he was in his nineties.

Root
Root growth
Roots grow through the whole life of the plant. They grow longer from the tip, adding cells to the end of each root. The root adds cells to their tips, and they grow fatter as they add cells around their tube-like bodies.
Philippe Méaille
Museum of Contemporary Art Barcelona
For reasons of security due to political instability in Catalonia, Philippe Méaille announced that he decided to repatriate his collection in France to the Chateau de Montsoreau-Museum of Contemporary Art. MACBA deplored the decision of Philippe Méaille not to renew his long-term agreement with the institution, and assured that the security of the collection is guaranteed, and that "Philippe Méaille arguments do not coincide at all with reality". Voices emerged to denounce a pretext on the part of the collector, to repatriate the works of Art & Language in his museum, opened only one year before.
Imre Földi
During his career he set 21 world records, and after his retirement he coached his daughter to become a European champion. Földi earned numerous awards for his results and achievements, most notably he was named Weightlifter of the Century by the International Weightlifting Federation and was elected for Sportsperson of the Nation in Hungary.

Root
Root growth
At the tip of each root, there is a small group of tough, dead, hard cells called the root cap. The root cap is the strongest part of the root tip, and its job is to push its way through the dirt to look for moisture and nutrients and protect the plant.
Aerial roots
Roots are usually found underground, but in some cases this is not so. In the rainforest, the air is warm and humid (it has a lot of water). Some rainforest plants, known as epiphytes, grow right on trees. Their roots hang down in the air or running into the moss growing on the trees. Many aerial roots, are used to receive water and nutrient intake directly from the air, from fog, dew or humid air.
Some trees have roots that are above the ground and underground. Mangrove trees have aerial roots (roots which come up into the air). They exchange gases with the atmosphere, just as leaves do. They are an adaptation to the poor level of oxygen in the waterlogged soil of the mangrove swamp.
The banyan tree has a root system that is underground, but it also has roots that start in its branches and grow down towards the ground. These roots not only take in water and nutrients from the soil, but they also help to support the long branches of the banyan tree. Because of this extra support, banyan tree branches can be really long. A banyantree in Lahaina, Maui, which was planted in 1873 by a man named William Owen Smith, has branches that are so long that this single tree covers a full square block in the city.
Root systems
There are two main kinds of roots systems: taproot systems and fibrous root systems. A taproot system has one thick main root growing down from the plant's stem, and lots of smaller secondary roots branching off from this. A taproot system is usually deeper than it is wide. Often, we eat taproots, like carrots and turnips.
A fibrous root system has lots of roots growing in many directions. There is not one main root. A fibrous root system is usually wider than deep.
Root pumping
It has been usually assumed that in regular (non-aerial) terrestrial roots, the nutrients are pumped in together with the water, and that water is pumped into the roots by osmosis. Recent studies in large trees such as the Giant Sequoia, showed, that much of the pumping power, after initial growth, is received by hydraulic suction, due to transpiration - water evaporation from the leaves, in addition to the strong capillary action in the plant's branching xylem in the stem and leaves.
