In World War I, chemical weapons were used often. They were a major part of the war. This was the first time in history that chemical weapons were widely used in warfare.  Poison gas attacks were a very effective way of attacking the enemy from a distance, without direct contact. Tear gas, chlorine, phosgene, and mustard gas were all used during World War I (WWI).  Soldiers tried to protect themselves using gas masks, but they were big, clumsy, and did not always work. Soldiers on both sides could be poisoned in a gas attack, because the wind would often blow gas back towards the attackers. For these reasons, soldiers in the trenches feared gas attacks more than anything else.  History. WWI began in 1914. The two sides (the Triple Alliance and the Triple Entente) competed against each other to build better fighting technology that would win the war. The French were the first to use poison gas in the war, in 1914 against the Germans. The following year, on 31st January 1915, the Germans launched over 18,000 shells (very large bullets) filled with tear gas towards the Russians. (This attack failed.)  Chlorine gas was first used on the 22nd of April 1915, by the Germans against French Algerian soldiers at the Battle of Ypres. Thousands of soldiers smothered in the attack. Even the Germans, who launched the attack, did not realize chlorine's effects were so deadly. Instead of pushing forward they retreated, missing a huge opportunity. Britain first used gas in December of 1915. Many British people thought this was inhumane, and there was a public outcry that continued even after the war. The commander of British Expeditionary Force, Sir John French (who had previously criticized the use of gas in warfare) stated: "[Because of] the repeated use by the enemy of asphyxiating gases in their attacks on our positions, I have been compelled to resort to similar methods."Years before, a law was signed forbidding the use of poisonous gases in war. For this reason, the factories that manufactured the gases called them an "accessory" instead of a "

A dreadnought is a navy battleship. A battleship is a large ship used in ocean battles between countries. The first dreadnoughts were made in the early 20th century. They were named after The HMS Dreadnought, of the Royal Navy, the first ship of this type. The first dreadnought was launched in 1906 by the United Kingdom, and was a new design of battleship. These ships had bigger guns; they also had guns that could shoot longer distances. Heavy steel layers were built on to the dreadnoughts as protection, which made them very strong and hard to sink. They were also much faster than older battleships.  World War 1 was the first war in which dreadnoughts were used. After the war, a treaty was signed in Washington DC to limit the construction of battleships. This treaty helped stop the manufacturing of dreadnoughts. Japan, the UK, France, Italy and the United States signed this treaty. In the middle 1930s Italy and Japan renounced the treaty and started building larger ones, and the other countries followed.

The Mentality of Apes by Wolfgang Köhler is a 1925 book. It is a landmark work in ethology, cognitive psychology and the study of the hominid apes. In it the author, a leading gestalt psychologist, showed that chimpanzees could solve problems by insight (intelligence). The importance of this work was to show there is no "absolute" dividing line between the human species and their nearest living relative, at least in this respect. It was also a marker in the struggle between behaviourism and cognitive psychology which continued for the following half century. Köhler's observations and experiments were done on chimpanzees in captivity. Not until Jane Goodall's work later in the century was the behaviour of chimpanzees in the wild studied in depth. Publication. The book in English was preceded by important publications in German, which are listed in Henle, Mary 1971. "The selected papers of Wolfgang" Köhler. New York: Liveright, bibliography 438/9. The book publications are as follows:
The Eureka or Aha! effect refers to the moment of insight when a puzzling problem is suddenly solved. It is named after the Greek polymath Archimedes. Archimedes was asked by the local king to detect whether a crown was pure gold, or if the goldsmith had added silver. During his trip to the public bath, he noticed how water got displaced when his body sank into the bath. The volume of water displaced equals the volume of the body immersed in the water. He suddenly realized that two objects which weighed the same in air might not weigh the same in water, because the less dense object would displace less water. This is known as Archimedes' principle.  Archimedes leaped out of a public bath, and ran home naked shouting "Eureka!" (I found it). This story is thought by some to be a myth, but Archimedes was indeed a most notable inventor. He would certainly have experienced the Aha! effect. There is some research on the Aha! insight. Aha! moments cannot be predicted. Insight is a psychological term describes the process in problem solving when a previously unsolvable puzzle becomes suddenly clear and obvious. Often this transition from not understanding to sudden comprehension is accompanied by an exclamation of joy or satisfaction, an Aha! moment. A person using insight to solve a problem is able to give accurate, clear, all-or-nothing type responses, whereas individuals not using the insight process are more likely to produce partial, incomplete responses. There seems to be a two phase process. In the first phase, the problem solver gets stuck. Even though they may have explored all the possibilities, they still cannot see the solution. The second phase occurs suddenly and unexpectedly. After a break in mental fixation or re-evaluating the problem, the answer is seen. Insight problems may be difficult to solve because of our mental fixation on the inappropriate aspects of the problem. People have a good memory for Aha! moments. Insight may occur after a break in mental fixation, allowing the solution to appear transparent and obvious.
Insight is understanding the inner nature of things. It is a type of comprehension or learning. It can be used in several ways: Higher intelligence (higher IQ) has also been found to be associated with better performance on insight problems. However, those of lower intelligence benefit more than those of higher intelligence from being provided with cues and hints for insight problems. The optic nerve is part of the brain. Oxford University has found the etymology of the word and idea of insight existing in writing at the earliest in the Ormulum of circa 1175 AD. The definition of insight by sources, is for example: "The fact of penetrating with the eyes of the understanding", "deep", "the power or act of seeing into a situation". The idea of penetration into the psychology of the mind has existed at least since 1927, which is the year Dr. E. Minkowski described the idea of psychiatrists penetrating into the mind of patients for diagnosis. A similar idea also is found in the writing/work/ideas of Dr. C. Jung sometime after 1909, which Dr. E. Bleuler described as "depth psychology".

Captain Charles Sturt was the first European explorer to visit the Balranald area. This was in January 1803 as he was going down the Murrumbidgee River in a boat. In 1836, the explorer Major Thomas Mitchell camped on the site of Balranald during his trip to explore the south of Australia. The first person to begin farming was Benjamin Boyd, a squatter, in 1842. George Hobler settled in what became the town area in 1845. The town itself began when the police set up a camp at a spot where the river was easy to cross in 1848. They were there to support the Commissioner for Crown Lands, George James McDonald, who named the area after the town in Scotland where he was born. A shop and hotel opened in 1848 and the town became an official settlement in 1851. The first 35 blocks of land were sold by auction on 14 January 1845.

A U-boat is a military submarine used by Germany. German submarines were most active in the First Battle of the Atlantic in World War I and the Battle of the Atlantic in World War II. Although they could be very effective as weapons against enemy warships, they were most effective in economic warfare (commerce raiding) and enforcing naval blockades against enemy shipping. The name is an abbreviation of the German ("undersea boat"). In English, "U-boat" refers exclusively to the German vessels used during the World Wars. In German, however, the term "U-Boat" refers to any submarine, including military and civilian ones and modern and foreign ones. Austro-Hungarian Navy submarines were also known as "U-boats". Hundreds of U-boats went to war. Most of the sailors made repeated trips to sea until their boat was sunk by Allied anti-submarine warfare. They are depicted in books and movies including the 1981 Das Boot. Six U-boats were captured with most of their crew and with equipment and papers that helped the Allies to read the messages of the Enigma machine.
Mordellistena is a genus (type) of beetles in the family Mordellidae. It contains many species. They are "tumbling flower beetles", so-called for the typical irregular movements they make when escaping predators.
Holism is the idea that natural systems (physical, biological, chemical, social, economic, mental, linguistic, etc.) and their properties, should be viewed as wholes, not as collections of parts. This often includes the view that systems somehow function as wholes and that their functioning cannot be fully understood solely in terms of their component parts. Reductionism is often viewed as the opposite of holism. Reductionism in science says that a complex system can be explained by "reduction" to its fundamental parts. For example, the processes of biology are reducible to chemistry and the laws of chemistry are explained by physics. Social scientist and physician Nicholas A. Christakis explains that "for the last few centuries, the Cartesian project in science has been to break matter down into ever smaller bits, in the pursuit of understanding. And this works, to some extent...but putting things back together in order to understand them is harder, and typically comes later in the development of a scientist or in the development of science".
