Heritage of Mercury. Almadén and Idrija
'''Heritage of Mercury. Almadén and Idrija''' is a joint UNESCO World Heritage site in Almadén, Spain, and Idrija, Slovenia. The property includes two mercury mining sites. In Almadén mercury has been extracted since antiquity, while in Idrija it was first found in 1490 AD. The Almadén site includes buildings relating to its mining history. These include Retamar Castle, religious buildings and traditional houses. The site in Idrija notably features mercury storage and infrastructure. It also includes miners’ living quarters, and a miners’ theatre. The sites shows how trade in mercury generated important exchanges between Europe and America over the centuries. The two sites represent the two largest mercury mines in the world and were working mines until recent times.
Raorchestes
Raorchestes is a genus of frogs. This genus is in the subfamily Rhacophorinae. These frogs live in the mountains in China and other parts of Asia. Scientists say Raorchestes is a sister taxon of Pseudophilautus. Scientists started using this genus in 2010. Before that, the frogs now in Raorchestes had been in Ixalus (which scientists do not use now), Philautus, and Pseudophilautus.
The genus is named for C. R. Narayan Rao. He worked on Indian batrachology. The part of the name, orchestes, is from the name of an older genus, Orchestes Tschudi 1838. Scientists have gone to the Western Ghat Mountains in India to look for these frogs, and they say there are even more species than people think. Scientists believe that the fact that groups of Western Ghat mountains are far from each other caused these frogs to become so many different species.
Norman Geisler
Norman Leo Geisler (July 21, 1932 – July 1, 2019) was an American Christian systematic theologian and philosopher. He was the co-founder of two evangelical seminaries (Veritas Evangelical Seminary and Southern Evangelical Seminary ). He was a co-creator of Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy. Geisler was born in Warren, Michigan.
Geisler died of cerebral thrombosis at a hospital in Charlotte, North Carolina on July 1, 2019 at the age of 86.
Raorchestes
Description
Most frogs in Raorchestes move around at night instead of during the day. They are small frogs. The adult frog is 15 - 45 mm from nose to rear end. They do not have vomerine teeth in their jaws. Male frogs have a large vocal sac that they use to sing for female frogs. The skin of the vocal sack is transparent—the human eye can see through it. All species in Raorchestes grow from frogs into eggs in direct development: they do not swim as tadpoles. Raorchestes tinniens eggs hatch in 36 days, but it can be longer or shorter depending n how hot or cold it is. Different frogs in the same species can look very different from each other because they can be different colors. Species of the genus Raorchestes also have different variations in their iris and pupil coloration. This makes it difficult for scientists to tell species apart and where they live.
People call the frogs in Raorchestes "bush frogs" in English. All of them live in trees except for Raorchestes resplendens. It lives on the ground high in the mountains, on Anamudi.
Distribution
One group of frogs live in the mountains in southern India (in the Western Ghats and Eastern Ghats). Others live in northeastern India to Nepal, Myanmar, Thailand, and Laos to southern China and Vietnam and Peninsular Malaysia. Many species live in the Western Ghats of India. Only eight species live in southeast Asia and China.
Conservation
Several species in Raorchestes live in protected areas.
Species
Scientists have found many more species in India since 2000. The following species are in the genus Raorchestes:.

Heat pump and refrigeration cycle
Heat pump cycles, refrigeration cycles or thermodynamic cycles are the fundamentals for heat pump, air conditioning and refrigeration systems and how they work. A heat pump is a mechanical system that allows for the transfer of heat from one location to another. They work under thermodynamic laws.
Thermodynamic cycles
According to the second law of thermodynamics, heat cannot move from a colder location to a hotter area by itself. Work is required to achieve this. An air conditioner requires action to cool a living space by moving heat from the interior being cooled to the outdoors. A refrigerator moves heat from inside the cold interior area to the warm room temperature air of the kitchen. This idea of an ideal heat engine was explained using the Carnot cycle by Sadi Carnot in 1824. A refrigerator or heat pump is an example of a heat engine that is running in a reverse Carnot cycle.
Heat pump cycles and refrigeration cycles can be vapor compression, vapor absorption, gas cycle, or Stirling cycle types.
Vapor compression cycle
The vapor compression cycle is used by many refrigeration, air conditioning, and other cooling applications. It is also used within heat pumps for heating applications. The vapor compression cycle has two heat exchangers. One of them is the condenser, which is hot and releases heat. The other is the evaporator, which is cold and takes heat. For applications that need to operate in both heating and cooling modes, such as heat pumps, a reversing valve is used to switch the roles of the heat exchangers.
At the start of the cycle, the refrigerant enters the compressor as a low pressure and low temperature vapor. The pressure is then increased and the refrigerant leaves as a higher temperature and higher pressure gas. This hot pressurized gas then moves through the condenser coil, where it releases heat to the area as it cools and condenses completely. The cooler high-pressure liquid next passes through the expansion valve which lowers the pressure suddenly and causes the temperature to drop a lot. The cold low pressure mixture of liquid and vapor next travels through the evaporator coil where it vaporizes completely when accepts heat from the area around it before returning back to the compressor as a low pressure low-temperature gas to start the cycle again.
Te Karaka
Te Karaka is a small settlement inland from Gisborne. It is on State Highway 2 and has an area school in the settlement. On 3rd February, 2020 the hottest North Island temperature of 40 degrees Celsius recorded at 4pm that day.
Heat pump and refrigeration cycle
Vapor absorption cycle
During the 20th century, the vapor absorption cycle using water and ammonia systems was popular and widely used but after work on the vapor compression cycle, it lost much of its use because of its low efficiency (about one-fifth of the vapor compression cycle). It is now only used where heat is more available than electricity, such as industrial waste heat, solar thermal energy by solar collectors, or propane refrigerators in motorhomes.
The absorption cycle is similar to the compression cycle, but depends on the partial pressure of the refrigerant vapor. In the absorption system, the compressor is replaced by an absorber and a generator. The absorber dissolves the refrigerant in a suitable liquid and a dilute solution becomes a strong solution. In the generator, the temperature increases, which also increases the partial pressure of the refrigerant vapor released from the strong solution. The generator needs a heat source. This consumes a lot of energy unless waste heat is used.

Brumby
A brumby is a feral horse in Australia. They are found in many areas around the country, but the best-known brumbies are found in the Australian Alps region in south-eastern Australia. Today, most of them are found in the Northern Territory and Queensland. A group of Brumbies is known as a "mob" or "band".

Daiju Matsumoto (born 9 December 1977) is a former Japanese football player.
Brumby
Brumbies are the descendants of horses that escaped or were lost many years ago. In some cases, they descend from the horses that belonged to the early European settlers. They had brought horses from South Africa, Indonesia, Great Britain, as well as many thoroughbreds and Arabians.
Today brumbies live in many places, including some national parks. Sometimes they are captured and domesticated. Most are then used as working horses on farms or stations. Some may be used as riding horses or show horses.

Gustel Hermann
Auguste Gustel Hermann (born 27 September 1906) was a German track and field athlete specialized in the throwing events. Hermann was a pioneer in women's athletics in Germany. She won the silver medalist in the shot put event at the 1930 Women's World Games.
Biography
Hermann was born on 27 September 1906, likely in central Germany. She became a member of sports the sports club Kölner Turnerschaft von 1843 in Cologne. She competed for this club during her whole athletics career. Hermann mainly competed in the shot put but also competed in the discus throw.
On 28 July 1928 she set an (unofficial) shot put world record. She trew 12.26 meters at a competition in Cologne. Between 1928 and 1934 she was on the top-7 list of annual best performances in the shot put worldwide.
Hermann participated at several German national athletics championships. In August 1930 she became the 1930 German national shot put champion in Lennep. She won the bronze medal at the 1932 national championships.
Password (game show)
Password is a television game show. It was hosted by Allen Ludden from October 2, 1961 to September 15, 1967 during daytime and was on primetime from January 2, 1962 to May 22, 1967 on CBS. A revival was made in 1971 and aired on ABC. The show spawned two revivals in 1979 and 1984 respectively, Password Plus and Super Password.
Game play
Two celebrities play with two civilians in two teams of two people each – a celebrity and a civilian. A "password" shown on the screen is given to the celebrities/civilians and they have to give the partners one-word clues to get it correctly. For example, if the password was "word", someone would give the clue "pass" and the civilian/celebrity would try to guess the password (e.g. "word"). If the password is guessed in one guess, they get 10 points. Each wrong guess removes a point (e.g. 1 wrong guess makes it 9, 2 wrong guesses makes it 8, etc.). Two word clues (e.g. "light sleeper") or "sounds" were not allowed, other wise a buzzer would sound and Allen Ludden would say "When you hear this sound it means your clue has not been accepted by our word authority (name of word authority)". The first person to get 25 points wins $250 and goes to the "Lightning Round" where they are given 60 seconds to guess 5 words worth $50. Each one correct will cost that amount and a second game is played where a new set of civilians comes in (Prior to November 1962, the civilians switched seats instead). At the end of the show, Allen Ludden would give a "password of the day" (e.g. "parties") and would make a sentence about the password ("Password is a great game to play at parties") before signing off.
The word authority for most of the CBS run was Dr. Reason A. Goodwin. He wrote the World Book Encyclopedia Dictionary which was released in 1963, two years after Password began.
In 1966 the show switched from black and white to color. On the first color show (September 12, 1966) Allen Ludden said "We're in color! Look at us-we're in color." This episode, along with many others are available on YouTube.
Theme music
From 1961 to 1963, the theme song was called Holiday Jaunt. From 1963 to 1967 the theme was called You Know The Password. In 1971 a song by Score Productions was used. In 1974 the theme song was changed to Bicentennial Funk. Password Plus and Super Password used different themes for both versions.
Revivals
In 1971, the show returned on ABC. In 1974, the show changed its name to Password All-Stars. The show was cancelled in 1975.
Arthur (season 22)
The 22nd season of Arthur first started showing on PBS Kids on May 13, 2019 with the episode "Mr. Ratburn and the Special Someone". The season ended on May 16, 2019. Jane Lynch made an appearance as a guest star when the season started.
Password (game show)
Revivals
In 1979, a revival called Password Plus was made. After Allen Ludden died in 1981, Tom Kennedy took over as host. Password Plus was cancelled in March 1982.
In 1984, a new version called Super Password was made with Bert Convy as host. The show was cancelled in 1989.
Episode status
Every nighttime episode was recorded on videotape and has aired on GSN and Buzzr. All daytime episodes before September 12, 1966 (except one from January 14, 1966) is gone forever. Color daytime episodes from September 1966 to 1967 last aired on GSN in 2009 and are currently airing on Buzzr.
The 1971 version is almost gone except for a few episodes. The original tapes were reused for the 1976 version of Family Feud. These have aired on GSN in the past.
Password Plus and Super Password exists in their entirety and both have aired on GSN and Buzzr.
Popularity
The game is parodied in the Family Guy season 2 episode "Wasted Talent".
In 2013, a short movie called Subconscious Password was made where a man forgets the name of someone he met at a party and must remember from clues given by celebrities a la Password.

Islamic calendar
The Islamic calendar or Hijri calendar (التقويم الهجري) is a calendar. It is used to determine Islamic holidays in most of Islam. It is a lunar calendar: it uses the phases of the Moon (rather the Earth's orbit of the Sun) to count the passing of time. Its year has 12 months of 29 or 30 days, and lasts a total of 354 or 355 days. This means that each year of the Hijri calendar is about 11 days shorter than a solar calendar such as the Gregorian. Islamic years are often called hijra years, because the first year of the calendar when the hijra occurred, that is when Prophet Muhammad went from Mecca to Medina.
The current Islamic Calendar year is 1445 AH (AH = Anno Hegiræ = Year of the Hijra.)
Two Islamic countries (Iran and Afghanistan) use a different calendar, the Solar Hijri Calendar ("SH").
Months
The timing of the months in the Islamic calendar is determined by direct observation of the Moon. A new month can only begin after a "waxing crescent Moon" is observed shortly after sunset. The "waxing crescent Moon" is the phase of the Moon which starts right after a New Moon. A lunar month (one new moon to the next) lasts a little over 29.5 days. For convenience, a month is the Islamic calendar is either 29 days or 30 days, one after the other. So a 29-day month is followed by a 30-day month (29+30 is the same as 29.5+29.5). In most years, that means that a year of 12 calendar months last 354 days. But that "a little over" is 44 minutes every month so, to keep the calendar in step with reality, an extra day is needed nearly every third year, so these years are 355 days long.
Whether or not the first crescent moon is actually visible differs by location. For desert communities, cloud-cover is rarely a problem but that is not true for people who live in the rain forest. One option is to use the tabular Islamic calendar, which predicts the moment of waxing crescent moon assuming perfect visibility. This method is used routinely by some Islamic communities but regarded by others as just an aid to securing a successful observation.
Bardenas Reales
The Bardenas Reales is a semi-desert natural region, or badlands. It is about 42000 ha and is located in southeast Navarre (Spain). The soils are made up of clay, chalk and sandstone. They have been eroded by water and wind. This has created a number of shapes, canyons, plateaus, tabular structures and isolated hills, called seamounts. Bardenas lacks urban areas and vegetation is scarce.
Location
The Bardenas is in the southeast of Navarra, bordering Aragon. It is located in the middle of the depression of the Ebro valley at the foot of the mountains of the Yugo and the Zaragoza region of Cinco Villas. It is 45 km from north to south and 24 km east-west and at an altitude ranging between 280 and 659 m. Its area is 41845 ha. Limited to sixteen municipalities, of which thirteen are in Navarre and three in the province of Zaragoza.

Transcendental Meditation
The meditation technique is practiced while sitting down with the eyes closed and is practiced twice a day.
Reviews of studies on the effects of the Transcendental Meditation technique show some results are not definite  while some reviews of studies show patterns of positive effects.
Procedure
The Transcendental Meditation technique is learned in seven steps. There are two lectures and a personal interview. This is followed by a session in which the student learns how to meditate. In three more sessions the meditation is checked to make sure the technique is being done correctly.
Goal
The goal of the Transcendental Meditation technique is said to be that the meditator continue to feel the deep rest, and the comfort of the meditation while living everyday life.
Origin
In 1955, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi (born Mahesh Prasad Varma) began teaching a meditation technique he says was based on the Vedas. He gave this method for meditation the name, Transcendental Meditation.
Before this, Maharishi had studied with his teacher Swami Brahmananda Saraswati, and was also his secretary from 1941 until Brahmananda Saraswati's death in 1953. In 1957, Maharishi began the Spiritual Regeneration Movement in Madras, India, on the last day of a festival held in memory of his teacher. In 1958, he began the first of a number of worldwide tours in which he began to teach the TM technique to people around the world.
In the early 1970s, Maharishi began to establish one Transcendental Meditation teaching center for each million of the people in the world, which at that time would have meant 3,600 Transcendental Meditation centers throughout the world. In 1990, Maharishi moved to the town of Vlodrop, in the Netherlands, where he began an organization he called The Global Country of World Peace that takes care of all of the teaching of the Transcendental Meditation technique around the world. The Global Country of World Peace says there are more than 6 million people worldwide who have learned the Transcendental Meditation technique.
Effects on the Body
Transcendental Meditation has been researched since 1970. The earliest study, done in 1970, showed that with the Transcendental Meditation technique the body rests deeply,  but is not asleep, and is alert. This study also showed that with the Transcendental Meditation technique stress became less.
According to one study Transcendental Meditation has been found to not have any advantages over health education in improving a persons health.
The Transcendental Meditation technique, religion, and cults
Transcendental Meditation websites say the Transcendental Meditation technique does not interfere with a person's religion.
In 2013, Monsignor Raffaello Martinelli, servicing Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, having worked for over 23 years with Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger (Pope Benedict XVI), said that for his Meditation, a Christian can learn from other religious traditions (zen, yoga, controlled respiration, Mantra): "As long as the Catholic Church rejects nothing of what is true and holy in these religions, we should not despise these indications since non-Christian. Instead, we can collect from them what is useful, provided you never lose sight of the Christian conception of prayer, its logic and requirements, since it is within this that all these fragments must be reformulated and assumed.../...». In 1984, Cardinal Sin, an Archbishop in the Catholic Church stated that the Transcendental Meditation technique interferes with Christian religions. And other clergy believe the technique does not interfere with religious belief and practices.
Experts on cults say those who use the Transcendental Meditation technique may show cult-like actions, while David Orme-Johnson, a psychologist and researcher who was once a professor at Maharishi University of Management, says studies show that those who use the Transcendental Meditation technique act in ways that are adult and self – sufficient, and  do not act in the way people in cults are said to act.
Platymantis
Most of the frogs in Platymantis live in the Philippines.
Platymantis is a large genus, and scientists disagree about which frogs should be in it.
Species
Right now, scientists say at least 30 living species are in this genus. Brown, et al. (2015) say there may be more, 50-60 species, because scientists have not written papers about all of them yet. • Platymantis banahao Brown, Alcala, Diesmos & Alcala, 1997

Tropical Storm Chris (2006)
Tropical Storm Chris was the fourth tropical storm of the 2006 Atlantic hurricane season. Forming on July 31 in the Atlantic Ocean east of the Leeward Islands from a tropical wave, Chris moved generally to the west-northwest, skirting the northern fringes of the Caribbean islands. Chris was a relatively short-lived storm, reaching a peak intensity with winds at 65 mph (100 km/h) on August 2, while positioned north of St. Martin. The storm gradually weakened before finally dissipating on August 5, near eastern Cuba.

British Rail Class 378
The Class 378 Capitalstar is a type of electric multiple unit used on the London Overground network. The class is derived from the Class 376 trains currently used by Southeastern, and are also part of the Electrostar family, but featuring significant differences. Primarily, the Class 378 features fully longitudinal seating similar to that used on London Underground rolling stock, which is necessary for the high passenger volume services run on London Overground. The units were constructed by Bombardier Transportation, and were delivered in two separate batches.
Mathematical maturity
In mathematics, mathematical maturity is an informal term used by mathematicians to refer to a mixture of mathematical experience and insight that cannot be directly taught.

Tropical Storm Chris (2006)
Overall impact was minimal, amounting to moderate amounts of rainfall throughout its path. No deaths were reported.
Storm history
A tropical wave moved westward off the coast of Africa on July 27. At first, deep convection was spread throughout the wave axis, though dry air greatly decreased the convection on July 28. The wind field remained well-defined as it continued westward, and deep convection increased two days later along the northern end of the wave axis. Dvorak classifications began on July 30 in response to an increase in vertical depth and organization of the convection. On July 31 a buoy recorded a change of wind direction from northeast to west, indicating a small low pressure area formed. Convective organization rapidly increased as it turned to the northwest, and the system developed into Tropical Depression Three on August 1 while located about 235 miles (375 km) east-southeast of Barbuda.
Forecasters originally predicted wind shear from an upper level low would prevent strengthening and cause dissipation within three days. However, the depression continued to organize as deep convection continued to develop near the circulation despite moderate amounts of wind shear, and the system strengthened into Tropical Storm Chris six hours after developing. The convection slowly covered the entire system, and by late on the 1st Chris reached winds of 60 mph (95 km/h) while passing 50 miles (80 km) north of the northern Leeward Islands. The structure of Chris continued to improve and become more symmetrical, and an upper level eye feature developed early on August 2. Outflow improved in all quadrants, as well, and the storm reached a peak intensity of 65 mph (100 km/h) shortly thereafter while located 120 miles (195 km) east of St. Thomas. Ins pite of the initial predictions of Chris intensifying to a hurricane as a ridge of high pressure forced it west-northwestward, upper level shear dissipated the well-defined inner core of the storm, and Chris started to weaken.
Early on August 3, strong wind shear over Chris removed the deep convection from the low level circulation, while a building ridge to its north turned the storm towards the west into an area of drier air. By mid-day on the 3rd the circulation was devoid of any convection within 85 miles (135 km), while the deeper convection spread across Puerto Rico and Hispaniola. Late on August 3, deep convection developed over the center of circulation again, though persistent vertical shear weakened Chris to a tropical depression on August 4. Because of computer models predicting lesser amounts of shear, forecasters mentioned the possibility of moderate strengthening in the Gulf of Mexico to a 60 mph (95 km/h) storm. However, convection remained minimal, and Chris degenerated into a remnant area of low pressure late on August 4. Late on August 5, convection increased in the remnants of the storm, and forecasters indicated the potential for slow development over the Gulf of Mexico due to marginally favorable conditions. The redevelopment never happened, and the remnant circulation dissipated near Havana, Cuba on August 6.

Tropical Storm Chris (2006)
Preparations
On August 1, officials in Puerto Rico issued a tropical storm warning for the island. The next day, approximately 600 tourists evacuated the islands of Vieques and Culebra. Citizens in Puerto Rico prepared for the storm by stocking up on supplies and visiting gas stations. On August 2, the government of the Bahamas issued a Hurricane Watch for the Turks and Caicos Islands, the Acklins and Crooked Islands, Ragged Island, Inagua, and Mayaguana. In response to the threat, officials urged citizens to stock up on hurricane supplies, while boat owners in Staniel Cay secured their boats in preparation for the storm.
In response to the storm's projected path into the Gulf of Mexico, prices for crude oil rose on the New York Mercantile Exchange at branch offices in London. Natural gas prices rose considerably in New York Mercantile Exchange electronic trading on August 2. Anticipation of a threat to supply by a potential Hurricane Chris coupled with high demand during an ongoing heat wave were cited as part of the reasons in the price move. In New Orleans, officials including Mayor Ray Nagin prepared for a possible evacuation of the city if Chris entered the Gulf of Mexico as a hurricane. The evacuation plan included moving all residents out of the city as a worst-case scenario, intended to avoid a re-occurrence of Hurricane Katrina around 1 year prior. Florida Emergency Management requested 10 mobile recovery centers, and placed hospitals in the Florida Keys on standby for evacuation. Officials in Mississippi identified the need for 110 to assist in an evacuation process in case of a possible landfall. Both Louisiana and Texas emergency operation centers monitored the progress of the storm, though did not execute any preparation action.

Tropical Storm Chris (2006)
Impact
St. Thomas received brief amounts of heavy rain, with totals of over 3 inches (75 mm). Anguilla reported light rain and wind gusts of up to 21 mph (34 km/h). In St. John the storm caused peak wind gusts of 23 mph (37 km/h) along with moderately heavy rainfall of nearly 3 inches (75 mm), along with reports of lightning near the storm's center. Though impact was minimal in Saint Martin, Governor Franklyn Richards recognized the storm preparations served as a wake up call for citizens who were not ready for the hurricane season. In San Juan, Puerto Rico, the storm caused very little wind or rain. Convection dissociated from the center of the storm produced 30 mph (48 km/h) wind gusts and over 1.3 inches (33 mm) of rain in Culebra. Rainfall peaked at 3.09 inches (78 mm) in Fajardo. Rainfall from the storm caused the Fajardo River to overflow its banks. The overflown waters temporarily closed a highway in the northeastern portion of the island.
Rainfall reached up to 2 inches (50 mm) across portions of Hispaniola, the Turks and Caicos, the Bahamas, and eastern Cuba, and reached 4 inches (100 mm) in some mountainous areas. In Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic, heavy rainfall caused severe flooding. Las Américas reported 5.01 inches/127 mm of rainfall from Chris. Several people were left temporarily homeless from the flood waters entering their households. The flooding left many roads impassable near the capital city, and also resulted in landslides. The flooding also covered rice fields in the northeastern portion of the country. The National Office of Meteorology issued flood warnings for residents in low-lying areas and near rivers in the northeast and southeast portions of the country. Despite the flooding, overall damage was minor, and there are no casualties associated with Chris.

Avichai Rontzki
Avichai Rontzki (אביחי רונצקי, October 10, 1951 – April 1, 2018) was the Chief Military Rabbi of the Israel Defense Forces. He served in the position from 2006 to 2010, with a rank of Brigadier General.
Complexity (mathematics)
The theory of complexity classify problems based on how difficult they are to solve. Complexity in mathematics means the level of madurity and time needed to arrive to a correct solution.
Avichai Rontzki
His predecessor in that position was Rabbi Israel Weiss. Rontzki was also the rosh yeshiva of the Hesder Yeshiva in the West Bank settlement Itamar.
Complexity (mathematics)
A way to assign the complexity of a problem is to see if the number of steps needed to solve it is bounded by some power of the problem's size. See P versus NP.
Avichai Rontzki
His four years in office have led to several controversies. Some of his statements upset not only secular Israelis, but led many organizations outside of Israel to accuse him of inciting terrorism.
