By "oral and intangible" is meant "activities of people which leave no permanent trace". The award was started in 2001. It hopes to "raise awareness of intangible cultural heritage, and encourage local communities to protect them and the local people who do these forms of cultural expressions".

An obscene phone call is when someone uses bad, sexual or hateful language while talking to another person on a telephone. In many U.S. states, making an obscene telephone call is a Class 1 Misdemeanor.

But many obscene phone callers use payphones or mobile phones instead of regular landline phones. Obscene phone callers are often male. However, there are many female obscene phone callers. Some obscene phone callers have trouble forming relationships, so making obscene telephone calls is the only way they express themselves. The usual age for making such telephone calls is the teenage years, particularly ages 12 to 16. The average age is 14.

He greatly expanded his dynasty's political power. The Allahabad Pillar inscription, written by his courtier Harishena. It mentioned his many military conquests. It suggests that he defeated several kings of northern India. Also, that he added their territories to his empire. He also marched along the south-eastern coast of India. He advanced to move as far as the Pallava kingdom. In addition, he subjugated several frontier kingdoms and tribal states. Samudragupta performed the Ashvamedha sacrifice to prove his imperial sovereignty. His gold coins and inscriptions suggest that he was a skilled poet and musician. His expansionist policy was continued by his son Chandragupta II.The primary source for the military campaigns of Samudragupta is the Allahabad Pillar Inscription, which was inscribed during his reign and provides a general overview of his military conquests. Other historical sources, such as the Puranas and the works of Chinese and Greek historians, also provide some information about Samudragupta's reign, but do not provide a comprehensive list of all his military campaigns. Extent of the empire. Samudragupta's empire included a core territory in northern India. It was directly controlled by the emperor. Besides, it included some monarchical and tribal tributary states.

Majumdar states that Samudragupta directly controlled an area extending from the Ravi River (Punjab) in the west to the Brahmaputra River (Bengal and Assam) in the east, and from the Himalayan foothills in the north to the Vindhya hills in the south. The south-western boundary of his territory roughly followed a line drawn from present-day Karnal to Bhilsa. In the south, Samudragupta's empire included Eran in present-day Madhya Pradesh

The Grand Union Canal was a canal in England from Foxton, Leicestershire on the Leicestershire and Northamptonshire Union Canal to Norton Junction, close to Long Buckby Wharf on the Grand Junction Canal.  It now forms the first of the Leicester Section, a branch of the much bigger modern Grand Union Canal. The creation of the canal system in central England was hugely important to the industrial revolution. It allowed the raw materials and the products to be moved cheaply. Many factories back onto rivers or canals all over industrial England. Moving heavy loads is cheapest and best done on water.

The Acasta Gneiss is the oldest rock in the world. It is in the Slave craton in Northwest Territories, Canada.  The rock body is exposed on an island about 300 kilometres north of Yellowknife. The rock of the outcrop was metamorphosed 3.58 to 4.031 billion (109) years ago. It is the oldest known intact crustal fragment on Earth. The nearby Acasta River east of Great Bear Lake gave the rock its name. It is the oldest known exposed rock in the world. The rock, before it was metamorphized, was a granitoid that formed 4.03 billion years ago. This age is based on radiometric dating of zircon crystals at 4.031x109 years. The Acasta Gneiss is important in establishing the early history of the continental crust.

The origin of water on Earth is only barely known. All life on Earth needs water, and most types of life started in the sea. Earth is the only planet known with liquid water on its surface. The water on Earth may have come from the Solar System as it formed, or it may have formed on Earth. Both are possible. We do know that hydrogen and oxygen, the elements that constitute water come from stars. Oxygen is created through fusion of helium and carbon atoms inside the core of red giants. Earth is in the habitable zone, it is not so far from the Sun that all water freezes, and not so close to the Sun that all water evaporates. This is why liquid water, important for all life, still exists on the surface of Earth.  A long time ago, scientists thought that water on Earth did not come from the planet’s region of the protoplanetary disk. Instead, it was thought water must have been delivered to Earth from the outer Solar System later in its history. However, recent research suggests that hydrogen inside the Earth played a role in the formation of the ocean. The two ideas are not mutually exclusive: there is evidence water was delivered to Earth by impacts from icy planetesimals similar in composition to asteroids in the outer edges of the asteroid belt. One problem that hasn't been solved is that the noble gas isotope ratios of Earth's atmosphere are different than those of its mantle. This might mean they were created from different sources.
Untriseptium (), also called eka-dubnium or element 137, is a possible chemical element which has not been synthesized. Due to instabilities, it is not known if this element is possible, as the instabilities may hint that the periodic table ends soon after the island of stability at unbihexium. Its atomic number is 137 and symbol is Uts. The name "untriseptium" is a temporary name. Importance. It is sometimes called feynmanium (symbol Fy) because Richard Feynman noted that a simplistic interpretation of the relativistic Dirac equation runs into problems with electron orbitals at "Z" &gt; 1/α = 137, suggesting that neutral atoms cannot exist beyond untriseptium, and that a periodic table of elements based on electron orbitals breaks down at this point. However, a more thorough analysis calculates the limit to be around element 173. Electronically unstable 1s orbit. Untriseptium has a theoretically impossible electron velocity for the 1s orbital's electrons. This is because when this speed calculated by the formula stated by Bohr's model returns a speed higher than the speed of light and hence is theoretically unviable leading a another reason why it is believed to be the end of the periodic table.
