Trecento is the Italian word for the Italian culture during the 14th century. Characteristics. The Trecento is considered the beginning of the Italian Renaissance cultural movement. It is sometimes called "Proto-Renaissance". One of the most important centres of art and architecture in this period is Florence, a political, economical and cultural pole of Italy. The most important artists who represent this period are Giotto, in painting, and Donatello, in sculpture. Indeed the Trecento begins with the works of the painter Giotto and includes Taddeo Gaddi, Orcagna, Altichiero and the sculptor Nicola Pisano. In 1334 Giotto was appointed chief architect to Florence Cathedral, of which the "Campanile" (founded by him on 18 July 1334 AD) bears his name, but was not completed to his design. Most of the famous Florence Cathedral, an architecture masterpiece, was built during the Trecento. Important sculptors included two pupils of Giovanni Pisano: Arnolfo di Cambio and Tino di Camaino, and Bonino da Campione. The Trecento was also famous as a time of heightened literary activity, with writers working in the vernacular instead of Latin. Dante, Petrarch and Boccaccio were the leading writers of the age. Dante produced his famous "La Divina commedia" (The Divine Comedy), a summation of the medieval worldview, and Petrarch wrote verse in a lyrical style influenced by the Provençal poetry of the troubadours. In music, the Trecento was a time of vigorous activity in Italy. Musicians and composers of the Trecento included the renowned Francesco Landini, as well as Maestro Piero, Gherardello da Firenze, Jacopo da Bologna, Giovanni da Cascia, Paolo "Tenorista" da Firenze, Niccolò da Perugia, Bartolino da Padova, Antonio Zachara da Teramo and Matteo da Perugia.
Socotra (Somali: Suqadara, "") is an island east of the Horn of Africa. It lies between the Guardafui Channel and the Indian Ocean. Socotra belongs to Yemen. During the Yemeni Civil War (2014–present) it is under the control of the Southern Leadership Council.  Geography. To its west it is joined by an archipelago of much smaller islands. It is also named the Islands of San Gustav after the navigator who discovered them, Gustav Peter Galle Daniels. It is located east of the Horn of Africa and south of the Arabian Peninsula.  Climate. Socotra has a borderline tropical, desert climate and semi-desert climate (Köppen climate classification: "BWh" and "BSh"), with an average yearly temperature over . With a total of only , the yearly rainfall is light but is fairly spread throughout the year. The total rainfall in the mountains can average as much as per year and can average over per month from October to December, during the northeast monsoon. The southwest monsoon season from June to September brings strong winds and high seas. Wildlife. The island is very isolated and some 30% of its plant species are found only on Socotra.

A pyramid is a three-dimensional shape. It has triangular sides that come together in a point at the top, call the "apex". The other side is a base, which is shaped as a polygon of any number of sides. A pyramid with a square base (bottom), and four triangle faces, is called a square pyramid. A pyramid with a triangular base is called a triangular pyramid or tetrahedron. A tetrahedron with four equilateral triangles is one of the Platonic solids. The formula for the volume of a square pyramid is formula_1. This means that one must find the volume by multiplying the base (B) by the height (h), then dividing the product by three. The base is also known as the product of the length and the width, thus this formula could alternatively be written as formula_2. Either way works, but the technical formula for the volume of a pyramid is the former, due to its use of the capital B, which is shorthand for length and width as stated before.
The Land of Israel ( , ; ) is a name for the region also known as Greater Syria, Canaan, Palestina or the Holy Land. The name comes from the Torah and the Bible.

In the Bible, the land was referred to as the "Promised Land" or "Holy Land", whose southern border extends to the Sinai, bordering the Negev, west to the Mediterranean Sea up to Cyprus, east to Northwestern Jordan, Golan Heights and Syria, and in the north up to Lebanon and Homs, Syria.

In 1869, Professor Dmitri Mendeleev created the first periodic table of chemical elements. He arranged the elements from the lightest one to the heaviest one. When he proposed his periodic table, he placed empty spaces between some elements. He said that the empty spaces were for undiscovered elements. Mendeleev had also predicted the properties of these undiscovered elements. Naming the undiscovered elements. Mendeleev gave temporary names for the undiscovered elements. He used the prefixes eka-, dvi- and tri- and combined it with any known elements in the same group with the undiscovered element. Eka-, dvi- and tri- are numbers 1, 2 and 3 in the Sanskrit language. The use of the prefix depends on how far the known element is from the unknown element. For example, germanium was called eka-silicon because silicon is placed one row above germanium, and rhenium was called dvi-manganese because manganese is placed two rows above rhenium. The names of these elements were changed after they were discovered. Other scientists use the eka- prefix, too. Eka- is also used in the names of elements that Mendeleev did not predict. Before francium was discovered, it was called "eka-caesium", and before astatine was discovered, it was called "eka-iodine". The eka- prefix is also used to name transuranic elements (elements after uranium). For example, Oganesson is also called "eka-radon", and untriennium (element number 139) is also called "eka-actinium". Today, the IUPAC uses the systematic element name to give new elements a temporary name. This new way of naming elements depends on the atomic number of the element. It does not depend on the position of the element in the periodic table.

People with cyclothymia have waves of depression and elevated mood (hypomania). Cyclothymia is a type of bipolar disorder, but it is different from bipolar type I and II because the depression and hypomania that people with cyclothymia have are not as severe as major depression or mania.  The cause of cyclothymia is not known. People are more likely to have cyclothymia if they have family that has bipolar disorder. Treatment for cyclothymia includes therapy and medication.  Symptoms. People with cyclothymia have waves of depression and hypomania. During a depressive phase, people will lose motivation for social activities and hobbies that they used to enjoy.

This can include taking dangerous risks or spending a lot of money. It is also common for people who are in a hypomanic phase to be more sexually active or aroused. People with cyclothymia will only have a normal mood for less than two months.  Cyclothymia can cause insomnia.

The Goldberg Variations (BWV 988) is a work for keyboard by Johann Sebastian Bach. It was written about 1741. The work consists of an aria and thirty variations. The aria was not original with Bach, but was probably based on a now lost French dance tune. The work is believed to have been commissioned by a pupil of Bach's named J. G. Goldberg. Goldberg was a celebrated virtuoso, and used the work to lull his insomniac employer Count Keyserkingk to sleep. The basic harmonies and structure of the aria remain consistent from variation to variation. The work ends with a quodlibet, a humorous combination of two popular tunes. John Keillor writes, "The work is sublime and compassionate, graceful, warm, and relentlessly intricate, a demonstration of unmatched craft in music history and genuine, poetic imagination." In modern times, the work is played on both the harpsichord and the piano. Other editions. Later composers made adaptations of Bach's work. Among them, Josef Gabriel Rheinberger arranged a version for two pianos in the years 1880-1885. His idea was to change the work so that it could be played for a small audience in the host's home. This required major changes. In 1913, Max Reger revised this edition. He added indications on how it shood be played, and at what speed. In 1914, Ferruccio Busoni also revised the work, but he intended for it to be played in concert. He stated that it should be shortened, and that several repetitions were unnecessary.
