Hertha BSC is a German football club based in Berlin. They started in 1892. Hertha Berlin was one of the founding clubs of the DFB (Deutscher Fußball Bund or German Football Association) in Leipzig in 1900. History. Early years. "BFC Hertha 92" (Berlin Foortbal Club Hertha 92) was formed in 1892. Its name and team colours were taken from a steamship with a blue and white funnel. One of the men who founded the club had taken a day trip on this ship with his father. Hertha is a variation on the name Nerthus, a Germanic fertility goddess. Hertha always played well, but were not financially successful. They won the first Berlin championship final in 1905. Because of money troubles in 1920 Hertha merged with the richer "Berliner Sport-Club" to form Hertha Berliner Sport Club. The new team was still successful, but never the best. Hertha BSC was in the German championship final every year from 1926 to 1930, but were only able to win in 1930. Hertha and BSC split in 1930, and Hertha won the championship again in 1931. "Hertha" was Germany's second most successful team during the inter-war years. Play under the Third Reich. German football was re-organized under the Third Reich in 1933, into sixteen top-flight divisions, which saw "Hertha" playing in the Gauliga Berlin-Brandenburg. The club continued to be successful in their division, regularly finishing in the upper half of the table and capturing the divisional title in 1935, 1937, and 1944. However, they did not do well nationally, and never got past the early rounds of the national championshipships. Postwar play in divided Berlin. After World War II, occupying Allied authorities banned most organisations in Germany, including sports and football clubs. "Hertha" restarted at the end of 1945, as "SG Gesundbrunnen" (named after a district of northern Berlin) and resumed play in the Oberliga Berlin - Gr

The Mandelbrot set is an example of a fractal in mathematics. It is named after Benoît Mandelbrot, a Polish-French-American mathematician. The Mandelbrot set is important for chaos theory. The edging of the set shows a self-similarity, which is perfect, but because of the minute detail, it looks like it evens out.  The Mandelbrot set can be made with the equation formula_1. In that equation, formula_2 and formula_3 are complex numbers and formula_4 is zero or a positive integer (natural number). Starting with formula_5, formula_2 is in the Mandelbrot set if the absolute value (distance from zero) of formula_7 never becomes larger than 2, no matter how large formula_4 gets. The two is because any point whose absolute value is bigger will go to infinity.  Mandelbrot was one of the first to use computer graphics to create and display fractal geometric images, leading to his discovering the Mandelbrot set in 1979. That was because he had access to IBM's computers. He was able to show how visual complexity can be created from simple rules. He said that things typically considered to be "rough", a "mess" or "chaotic", like clouds or shorelines, actually had a "degree of order". The equation formula_9 was known long before Benoit Mandelbrot used a computer to visualize it. Images are created by applying the equation to each pixel in an iterative process (repeated process), using the pixel's position in the image for the number 'c'. 'c' is obtained by mapping the position of the pixel in the image relative to the position of the point on the complex plane.  The shape of the Mandelbrot Set is represented in black in the image on this page. For example, if formula_10 then the sequence is formula_11 which goes to infinity. Therefore, 1 is not in the Mandelbrot set, and thus is not coloured black. On the other hand, if formula_2 is equal to the square root of -1, also
United Center (nicknamed ""The Madhouse on Madison II","The UC" and "The House That Jordan Built"") is a sports arena located in Chicago, Illinois. The arena opened in 1994, and right now the Chicago Blackhawks of the National Hockey League (NHL) and the Chicago Bulls of the National Basketball Association (NBA) play there. There is a statue of Michael Jordan on the east side of the arena. The Bulls and Blackhawks moved to the United Center in 1994. This was a change for both organizations as they had previously played in the older Chicago Stadium for many years. The Blackhawks, previously also called the Chicago Stadium Corporation, rather than the Bulls, were the actual owners of both the previous Chicago Stadium and now the United Center.

Shanxi (山西) is a province of the People's Republic China. It is in northern China. The Yellow River flows through it. The name "Shanxi" means "mountain's west" or "west of the mountains", as it is west of the Taihang Mountains. Its major cities are its capital Taiyuan, Datong, Changzhi, and Yangquan. The abbreviation of Shanxi is Jin (晋), since there is another province, Shandong (山东), that has the word "Shan" (山) in it, meaning "mountain" in Chinese, exactly, it's Tai Mountain. During the Zhou Dynasty, there was a Jin (晋) state located in present-day Shanxi, later, many states and dynasties with similar positions also adopted this name. This is the origin of its abbreviation. Although in pinyin, the name of the neighboring province to the west, "Shaanxi", is spelled exactly the same as "Shanxi", the only difference in how the two words are pronounced is that the first syllable in "Shanxi" is said using the first tone in Mandarin, while the first syllable in "Shaanxi" is said with the third tone. Since tone markers are not usually used to show how to pronounce the two different names, the first word in "Shaanxi" is spelled using the Gwoyeu Romatzyh method instead, which indicates tones by adding extra letters to a syllable.

Mi Fu (1051–1107) (also known as Mi Fei) was a Chinese painter, poet, and calligrapher. He was born in Taiyuan, Shanxi, during the Song Dynasty.  Life. Mi Fu was born in 1051, in Taiyuan, during the Song Dynasty. His mother was employed as a midwife, and in 1048 delivered the future Emperor Shenzong and served as his wet nurse. Emperor Shenzong ruled from 1067 to 1085. Mi Fu was especially familiar with the imperial family and resided in a privileged location near the royal palaces. He disregarded formal artistic lessons but appeared to have a propensity for writing, painting, and drawing. He eventually became one of the four best calligraphers in the Song Dynasty, and was regarded for his exceptional technique involving the creation of landscapes. Despite the lack of formal training, his style was quite sophisticated and incorporated large dots of ink applied with a flat edge brush. Some major influences on his work include Li Bai and Wang Xizhi.  Mi Fu was known for his eccentricity, sometimes referred to as "Madman Mi" due to his affinity for stone collecting, once having said a particular stone was his brother. He was a heavy drinker. Career. Mi Fu became a civil servant with mixed success. He was initially a book editor in the Emperor's library, then worked in several posts in Henan province. At the Emperor's palace in 1103, he was given the position of Professor of Painting and Calligraphy, which allowed him to select which paintings and works of calligraphy were good enough to belong to the Emperor.  He later became secretary to the Board of Rites, then was appointed governor of Huaiyang in Jiangsu province.  Style. He specialized in painting misty landscapes. The "Mi Fu" style uses large wet dots of ink applied with a flat brush. Mi Fu's poetry followed the style of Li Bai and his calligraphy that of Wang Xizhi.  Legacy. Mi Fu died in 1107. He had five sons and eight daughters. Mi Fu is widely considered the best of all the calligraphers of the Song dynasty. One of his works was sold for nearly $4-million (U.S.).
Heredity is the passing of traits (characteristics) from parents to offspring. In biology, the study of heredity is called genetics. With most living things, heredity is analysed by breeding (making crosses), often in a laboratory. But with humans, heredity is studied in other ways. Family pedigrees, identical twins and DNA genome analysis all provide clues. A trait which may be inherited is heritable; it is inborn or innate.
Variation in biology usually refers to the heritable differences within a species. This is important in genetics, and the study of evolution in natural populations. Heritable variation is ultimately caused by mutations of genes and chromosomes, and shuffled by recombination. Outcrossing keeps, and inbreeding reduces, heritable variation. Other variations are caused during life, and are not passed on to the next generation by heredity. Variation is also a term used in biodiversity for the variety of life forms in a given ecosystem.

The Baba Yaga is a mythical witchlike character. She is found in Slavic stories. She is one of the most popular demons in slavic beliefs. She looks like an ugly woman. She lives in a house that has giant chicken feet, so it can walk around. Sometimes she travels in a mortar and pestle that can fly by magic. Baba Yaga is different from most folklore characters because even though she is usually bad, sometimes she is good. Sometimes she makes things or helps the story's hero make things. Scholar Andreas Johns says that Baba Yaga is meant to be like nature itself: She can help but she can also eat you. In popular culture. Baba Yaga appears as a character in many video games and other works of fiction, for example the "Quest for Glory" series of games. The feminist website "The Hairpin" wrote an advice column called "Ask Baba Yaga" as a joke.

Rudolf Ludwig Karl Virchow (13 October 1821 – 5 September 1902) was a German doctor, anthropologist, pathologist, prehistorian, biologist and politician, known for his advancement of public health. Referred to as "the father of pathology," he is considered one of the founders of social medicine. He coined the catch-phrase "omnis cellula e cellula", meaning, cells only derive from other cells.
Robert Remak (26 July 1815 – 29 August 1865) was a German embryologist, physiologist, and neurologist, born in Posen, Prussia.  Remak obtained his medical degree from Friedrich Wilhelm University in Berlin in 1838 specializing in neurology. He worked on embryology, and also discovered unmyelinated nerve fibres and the nerve cells in the heart sometimes called Remak's ganglia. He studied under Johannes Muller at the University of Berlin.  Remak discovered that the origin of cells was by the division of pre-existing cells.  Despite his accomplishments, because of his Jewish faith he was repeatedly denied full professor status until late in life, and even then was denied the usual benefits of the position.
Oscar Hertwig (21 April 1849, Friedberg, Hesse – 25 October 1922, Berlin) was a German zoologist, anatomist and professor, who also wrote about the theory of evolution over 55 years after Charles Darwin's "The Origin of Species".  Oscar Hertwig was a leader in the field of embryology. He discovered fertilization of sea urchins, he recognized the role of the cell nucleus during inheritance and chromosome reduction during meiosis. In 1876, he found that fertilization includes the penetration of a spermatozoon into an egg cell. He thought, correctly, that the vectors of hereditary traits resided in the nuclei of the egg and sperm. His work on the development of sea urchin eggs was fundamental and lasting; his work on evolution was not. He was opposed to 'chance', as he thought was Charles Darwin's theory. He wrote: "Das Werden der Organismen, eine Widerlegung der Darwinschen Zufallslehre" (Jena, 1916) (translation: "The Origin of Organisms: a refutation of Darwin's theory of chance"). Hertwig was elected a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in 1903.
Walther Flemming (21 April 1843 – 4 August 1905) was a German biologist and a founder of cytogenetics. Making use of dyes he was able to find a structure which he named chromatin. He identified that chromatin was correlated to threadlike structures in the cell nucleus– the chromosomes (meaning "coloured body"). Edouard Van Beneden (1846–1910) had also observed them, independently.  Flemming investigated the process of cell division and the distribution of chromosomes to the daughter nuclei, a process he called mitosis from the Greek word for thread. However, he did not see the splitting into identical halves, the daughter chromatids. He studied mitosis, both in life and in stained preparations, using as the source of biological material the fins and gills of salamanders. These results were published first in 1878 and in 1882 in the seminal book "Zellsubstanz, Kern und Zelltheilung" (1882; Cell substance, nucleus and cell division). On the basis of his discoveries, Flemming surmised for the first time that all cell nuclei came from another predecessor nucleus (he coined the phrase "omnis nucleus e nucleo", after Virchow's "omnis cellula e cellula"). Flemming was unaware of Gregor Mendel's (1822–1884) work on heredity, so he did not make the connection between his observations and genetic inheritance. Two decades would pass before the significance of Flemming's work was truly realized with the rediscovery of Mendel's rules. His discovery of mitosis and chromosomes is considered one of the 100 most important scientific discoveries of all times, and one of the 10 most important discoveries in cell biology.
