Oat
The oat (Avena sativa) is a cereal grain. It is food for people and other animals, for example, chickens and horses. Oatmeal is made from oats. Oat straw is used as bedding for animals.
Porridge is made only from whole grain oats. It forms an excellent part of a balanced diet for the following reasons:
Origin
The wild ancestor of Avena sativa and the similar minor crop, A. byzantina, is the hexaploid wild oat A. sterilis. Science of DNA shows that the ancestor forms of A. sterilis grew in the Fertile Crescent of the Near East.
Domesticated oats appear later. They are also far from the Near East, in Bronze Age Europe. Oats are like rye. They are normally thought as a less important crop, i.e. coming from a weed out of the main cereals wheat and barley  As these cereals spread into cooler, wetter places, this may have favored the oat weed. This quickly leads to its common use.
Cultivation
Oats are grown all over temperate places. They have a lower summer heat need and are able to survive more rain than other cereals like wheat, rye or barley. Oats are an annual plant, and can be planted either in autumn (for late summer harvest) or in the spring (for early autumn harvest).
Historical attitudes towards oats are very different. Oat bread was first made in England, where the first oat bread factory was made in 1899. In Scotland, are well liked, as a good part of the national diet. The English writer Samuel Johnson, famously wrote in A Dictionary of the English Language that the oat was a grain, which in England is generally given to horses, but in Scotland supports the people. Which the Scottish quickly said back "and England has the best horses, and Scotland the best men."
Uses
Oats have many uses in food. Most of the time they are rolled or crushed into oatmeal, or ground into oat flour. Oatmeal is also eaten as porridge, but may also be used in many of baked goods, such as oat cakes, oatmeal cookies, and oat bread. Oats are also an substance used in many cold cereals, in particular muesli and granola. Without cooking, oats may also be taken as food.
Oats are also sometimes used in drinks. In Britain, it is used for making beer. Oatmeal stout is one of many beers using some oats. A cold, sweet drink made of ground oats and milk is a well liked drink in Latin America. 'Oatmeal caudle', made of ale and oatmeal with spices was a usual British drink and well-liked by Oliver Cromwell.
In Scotland a dish called Sowans was made by putting the husks from oats in water for a week so that the fine, dusty part of the meal remained at the bottom to be strained off, boiled and taken as food (Gauldie 1981). Oats are also widely used there as a thickener in soups, as barley or rice might be used in other countries.
Oat straw is prized by cattle and horse makers as bedding, because its soft, almost dust-free, and takes in liquid. The straw can also be used for making corn dollies. Tied in a cotton bag, oat straw was used to soften bath-water.
Things take out of oatscan also be used to make pain less sharp in the skin, as in skin lotions. It is the main substance in the Aveeno line of products.
Health
Oats are mostly thought as "healthy" food. The finding of the healthy LDL cholesterol-lowering properties has led to more liking of oats as human food.
Protein
Oat is the only cereal having a globulin or legume-like protein, avenalin, as the major (80%) storage protein. Globulins can be taken up by weak salt water. The more common cereal proteins are gluten and zein. The minor protein of oat is avenin.
Oat protein is almost the same in quality as soy bean protein, which has been shown by the World Health Organization to be equal to meat, milk, and egg protein. The amount of protein of the hull-less oat kernel ranges from 12 to 24%, which is the highest among cereals.

Ursa Minor
Ursa Minor is a constellation in the northern sky. It is often called the Little Bear or the Little Dipper. Just like the related constellation Ursa Major, or the Big Bear or Big Dipper, it seems to have a long handle leading to a cup or ladle. The end of the handle is the North Star, called Polaris.
The ancient astronomer Ptolemy included Ursa Minor in his list of 48 constellations. It is now one of the 88 modern constellations. Ursa Minor is special because it includes the north celestial pole. However, this will change after several hundred years because the Earth will change the direction of its axis. That movement is called precession
Stars
Ursa Minor is often called the Little Dipper because its seven brightest stars seem to be in the shape of a dipper (ladle or scoop). The star at the end of the dipper handle is Polaris, the North Star.
Polaris is the brightest star in the constellation. It is a 'yellow-white' supergiant shining at 2.02 apparent magnitude. It belongs to an unusual class of stars called Cepheid variables. The brightness of Polaris can change. The second brightest star is β UMi (Kochab). It is a 2.08 orange giant star.
The four stars in the "bowl" of the little dipper are very useful for star watchers. They are of second, third, fourth and fifth magnitude. These stars are an easy guide to knowing what magnitude stars are visible. This is helpful for people who live in cities where light can make dim stars hard to see. It is also a way of testing your eyesight.
Deep sky objects
There is one dwarf galaxy in the area of the constellation. It is called Ursa Minor Dwarf.
History and mythology
Drawings of Ursa Minor often show it as a baby bear with an unusually long tail. In some stories, the tail is so long because the baby bear was held by the tail and spun around the pole.
Greek mythology connected Ursa Minor and Ursa Major to the story of Callisto and Arcas. However, one older version of the story has Boötes in place of Arcas. In that story Ursa Minor was a dog. This earlier tradition explains both the length of the tail and an older name for Polaris. The North Star used to be called Cynosura which means the dog's tail.
In another story from early Greek mythology, the seven stars of the Little Dipper were seven sisters. They were Atlas' daughters, the Hesperides. They were part of a story with the nearby constellations Boötes, Ursa Major, and Draco.

Danila's fellow soldiers, Kostya and Ilya, think that he is the most skilled fighter among them. However, Danila is modest and doesn't like to boast about his achievements during the war. He often says that he worked as a clerk at the headquarters, but he is actually highly skilled in hand-to-hand combat, mine explosives, and shooting. He is also good at using combat tactics in urban environments and can even make and repair firearms in artisanal conditions. Despite his quirky appearance, Danila is tough on injustice and shows no mercy to his enemies.

Danila Bagrov
Family
Before joining the Russian army, Danila lived with his retired mother, whose name is unknown. His father, Sergei Platonovich Bagrov, was a repeat offender who died in prison in January 1982. Danila was mostly raised by his older brother Viktor, who served in the Soviet army, as seen from a photo in the family album in the movie "Brother". Viktor Sukhorukov portrays Viktor, who is much loved by Danila and acts as a father figure to him. Unlike Danila, Viktor is outgoing, sociable, and expresses emotions openly. However, Viktor lacks moral integrity and is too frivolous. He is even willing to commit crimes for money. In "Brother 2", Danila mentions their grandfather who died during the Great Patriotic War, but his name is not mentioned.
Events of the first film
After being discharged from the army, Danila returns to his hometown where he gets into a fight with a security guard on the set of the music video for the song "Wings" by Nautilus Pompilius. He is arrested by the police but is eventually released. Danila finds life in his hometown boring and decides to go to St. Petersburg, where his older brother Viktor has settled down and is doing well.
Danila soon learns that his older brother Viktor is a hired killer known as Tatar. Viktor involves Danila in his work, sending him to do all the dangerous and illegal tasks. The first task Danila completes is killing a Caucasian man who was a former Chechen militant and the owner of a city market. The man was disliked by the gangsters, and during the ensuing chase, Danila seriously injures one of them. Later, at the request of Viktor, Danila participates in an ambush with two accomplices. However, after completing the task, Danila kills both accomplices in order to save a random witness from being harmed.
Following the betrayal of his brother, Victor, Danila confronts and defeats the bandits, and forgives his brother. With his friends lost and disillusioned with the justice system, Danila decides to leave St. Petersburg and move to Moscow, where he hopes to attend university and become a doctor.
Events of the second movie
Danila meets with his friends Kostya and Ilya from Chechnya in Moscow. Kostya's twin brother Mitya plays in the NHL, but the money he earns goes to an American businessman who does bad things. Kostya wants to help his brother, so he asks his boss Belkin to talk to the American. But Belkin has his own interests in illegal gambling, and he tells his people to "sort out" Kostya, which leads to them trying to kill him. Danila wants to help and get justice for his friend. Meanwhile, Danila's brother Viktor comes to Moscow to be with him.
Danila meets with his brother in America but they are chased by the police and Ukrainian mafia. Viktor is captured by the police after a shootout in a restaurant. Danila and Dasha manage to escape the American police and leave the United States by plane. It is unknown what happens to Danila after the events of the second film.
Influence
The character created by Sergei Bodrov was very fond of the Russian audience. Despite the fact that Alexei Balabanov treated Danil Bagrov as an object of directorial irony, the audience saw him as a national hero.
In September 2014, the graffiti team from Vitebsk "HoodGraff" painted a portrait of Danila Bagrov on the wall of the transformer box, the creation is located near the Alexander Nevsky Lavra, next to the Prospect Obukhovskoy Oborona stop in St. Petersburg. In 2015, in the Perm club "House of Culture", the artist Vyacheslav Nesterov, working under the pseudonym Slava Triptych, made a huge portrait of Danila Bagrov.
In 2017, according to the results of online voting, Danila Bagrov was recognized as the national superhero of Russia.
In August 2018, Danila Bagrov was parodied in Monetochka's video "90".
In September 2018, the popular video blogger Enjoykin created the music video "Brother", which gained more than one and a half million views in a day after publication and took second place in the top YouTube site.
The teaser for “Brother 3” (in which rapper Ptakha asks an armed man with a beard a question: “Tell me, gypsies, what is the truth?” And receives the answer “In force”) had a wide resonance, and caused almost universal indignation among Runet users: in they saw disrespect for the memory of Alexei Balabanov and Sergei Bodrov Jr..
Titles
The Russian cargo ship Danila Bagrov is named after him.
Criticism
Literary critic and publicist Viktor Toporov pointed out that there are similarities between two works by director Alexei Balabanov - the short story "Trofim" from the film almanac "The Arrival of the Train" (1995) and the film "Brother" (1997).
The critic noticed that in two works of director Alexei Balabanov, "Trofim" from the film "The Arrival of the Train" and "Brother", the main characters both went to St. Petersburg and then to Moscow, just like Danila Bagrov did in "Brother 2". Additionally, both films showed the arrival in St. Petersburg at the same station, Vitebsk. <sup class="noprint" style="white-space: nowrap">[ <span style="" title="нет источника (24 сентября 2021)">source not specified 566 days  ].
Sergei Kudryavtsev, a film critic, agrees with the previous observation and suggests that "Brother" and "Trofim" cannot be understood separately. Both the main characters, Danila and Trofim, arrive in a city that is equally unfriendly and scary. The only difference is that the modern city does not have the characteristics of an imperial capital, but rather resembles a "lifeless graveyard."
Tatyana Semyonova and Maria Erokhina, who hold degrees in Philosophy and Cultural Studies respectively, suggest that Danila Bagrov represents the traditional "Russian wanderer" image, but in the context of the 1990s. In the first movie, he returns from the war in Chechnya and travels to St. Petersburg to see his killer brother. In the second movie, he is sent from Moscow to the United States. The Russian wanderer is known for embarking on a never-ending journey through time and space, facing countless challenges in search of truth or God.

The construction of the 2nd power station caused the 1st train station to be removed and another station was opened in the main street of the town on 2 January 1954. The new station closed on 7 September 1964. People who live in Portishead now want the train station to be opened again.
Morphallaxis
Morphallaxis is the when some living things regenerate or regrow tissue after the original tissue dies. The word comes from the Greek allazein, which means to exchange.
For example, if a Cnidarian hydra, a microscopic animal, is cut in half, two new hydra grow.
Around the year 1930, scientists Wilson and Child showed that if the hydra was smashed to pulp and put through an instrument with tiny holes in it to separate each cell individually but without breaking any one cell, the hydra completely reformed itself.
Most tissue in Morphallaxis grows from material already present material. Not much new tissue is created.

Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck
Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck (May 1562 in Deventer - 16 October 1621) was a Dutch composer and organist. Sweelinck (pronounce: ZVAY-link) lived at the end of the Renaissance and beginning of the Baroque periods. He was one of the greatest organists and composers of his day. He was the organist at the Oude Kerk (“Old Church”) in Amsterdam for 44 years. Many musicians travelled a long way to Amsterdam to hear him improvise at the organ. He composed music for the organ and harpsichord as well as vocal music.
Caesium
Caesium (or cesium) is the chemical element with the atomic number 55 on the periodic table. Its symbol is Cs.
Caesium is an alkali metal. Its melting point is low (28 °C). It is extremely reactive. Because of its high reactivity, it is a dangerous chemical. It may set itself on fire (ignite) in air. It explodes on contact with water. It reacts more violently than the other alkali metals with water. Because of this, caesium is stored in mineral oil.
Caesium is a rare element. Since there is little caesium on the Earth, it is rather expensive. The human body does not need caesium. In large amounts, its chemical compound s are mildly poisonous because it is close to potassium, which the body does need.
History
Caesium was first described in 1860, by Gustav Robert Kirchhoff and Robert Wilhelm Bunsen. They were testing mineral water, from Bad Dürkheim. After they separated calcium, strontium, magnesium and lithium, they saw two lines in the "blue" range of the spectrum. Because of these lines, they concluded that in addition to the elements already found, there must be another unknown substance in the mineral water. They named this substance caesium, after the color blue.
Isotopes and compounds
Caesium has at least 39 known isotopes ranging in atomic mass from 112 to 151. Only one of these, 133Cs, is stable. Therefore, the naturally-occurring isotope of caesium is 133Cs, which is not radioactive. 133Cs is used in atomic clocks, its vibration frequency used to define the length of the second. Another isotope, 137Cs is not made naturally but is made after nuclear fission has been done. It is very radioactive and used as an industrial gamma ray source.
Caesium forms compounds with many other chemical elements. Caesium formate is used in oil drilling because of its high density.
Reactivity
Caesium is extremely reactive in air and water. Caesium rapidly oxidizes in air and can spontaneously combust (randomly catch on fire) at any moment. For this reason, it must be stored in kerosene or a mineral oil, like other group one elements (Lithium, Natrium, Rubidium, and Francium.) In water, Caesium violently reacts to make Caesium Hydroxide (2CsOH). The Caesium sinks for about one second, then explodes. The explosion is over 50 times the size of the element dropped in the water, and the explosion is enough to break a common Pyrex Beaker, Flask, or Test Tube. You can find a video of the reaction here.
Virgin and Child from the Sainte-Chapelle

Hikoyai
Hikoyai-no-Mikoto was a member of a Japanese imperial family according to the Kojiki.. He was the eldest of three princes born to Empress Himetataraisuzu-hime on the banks of the Sakai River. He is not mentioned in the "Nihon Shoki" and is not known by any other name. Hikoyai-no-Mikoto's father was Emperor Jimmu, and his brothers were and Emperor Suizei.
After Jimmu died, Empress Himetataraisuzu-hime married Tagishimimi, her stepson. Tagishimimi tried to kill the brothers but was instead killed by Suizei, who became the second emperor. Hikoyai-no-Mikoto did not have an active role in the story and did not play a significant part in the narrative. This is common in Japanese mythology where some brothers do not play a major role.
Family tree
According to the Kojiki, Hikoyai-no-Mikoto was the son of Jimmu, who was the first emperor of Japan, and, the daughter of Omononushi no Mikoto.
However, Hikoyai-no-Mikoto's name is not mentioned in the Nihon Shoki. In other sources, such as the Shinsen Seijiroku, the Ibarada-ren article of the Ukyo Emperor, and the "Aso Family Brief Genealogical Record," there is a different theory that suggests he is the son of Kamiyai-mimi-no-mikoto. Interestingly, Hikoyai-mikoto's name does not appear in the "Aso Genealogy" or the "Monzan Genealogy" found in the 16th volume of the "Shoshu Keifu."
The "Shinsen Shōjiroku" commissioned by Emperor Saga and the "Aso Genealogy (阿蘇家略系譜)" have a different theory that suggests Hikoyai was the son of Kamuyaimimi, as opposed to the previously mentioned belief that he was the son of Himetataraisuzu-hime and Jimmu.

Serval
The serval (Leptailurus serval) is a medium-sized wild cat which lives in sub-Saharan Africa. It is the only species in its genus.
Description
The serval has the longest legs of all cats, relative to its size. Not only can it run fast, but it is an amazing jumper: two to three metres from a standing start.
Its length as an adult is about 32 inches (body) and 16 inches (tail). It weighs about four pounds. There are a number of subspecies, and its geographical range is from the Cape of South Africa to Algeria, wherever the circumstances are right for it.
It is lightly built, with very large ears and long legs. The back of the ears is black with a big white spot, and the tip of the tail is black. These signs serve as signals to other servals, including kittens.
Habitat
The serval needs access to water, and dense grassland. Reed beds, scrub or high grass are typical habitats. It is territorial.
Hunting and diet
The serval is nocturnal, and hunts mostly at night. The serval is an opportunistic predator whose diet includes rodents, hares, hyraxes, birds, reptiles, insects, fish, and frogs.
As part of its adaptations for hunting in the savannas, the serval's long legs help it achieve a top speed of 80 kilometres per hour (50 mph), and has large ears with acute hearing. Its long legs and neck allow the serval to see over tall grasses, while its ears are used to detect prey, even those burrowing underground. Servals have been known to dig into burrows in search of underground prey, and to leap 2 to 3 metres (7 to 10 ft) into the air to grab birds in flight. Using its spectacular jumping ability, the serval leaps into the air and bats the bird with its front paws. When the bird is on the ground, it bites its neck, killing it.
Like most cats, the serval is a solitary animal. It travels as much as 3 to 4 km each night in search of food. The female defends home ranges of 9.5 to 19.8 km2, depending on local prey availability. The male defends larger territories of 11.6 to 31.5 km2, and marks its territory by spraying urine onto bushes.

The Busby Babes was a nickname given to a group of association football players that played for. The players with this nickname were recruited by Manchester United's chief scout Joe Armstrong and assistant manager Jimmy Murphy, and would be progressed to the first team by manager Matt Busby. The term was commonly used for players who joined the Manchester United academy during the 1940s and 1950s.
History
The term was first used in 1951 by Manchester Evening News journalist Tom Jackson. The term was commonly used to refer to the players that won the 1955–56 and the 1956–57 Football League First Division titles.
Eight of the players, being Roger Byrne (28), Eddie Colman (21), Mark Jones (24), Duncan Edwards (21), Billy Whelan (22), Tommy Taylor (26), David Pegg (22), and Geoff Bent (25) would die after the Munich air disaster.Jackie Blanchflower (24 at the time of the crash), and Johnny Berry (31 at the time of the crash) would survive the disaster, but they would be unable to play again.
