Rebecca Black's mother, Georgina Kelly, paid Ark Music $4,000 for a song and a music video that included a choice of two songs written beforehand. Black chose "Friday", as "the other song was about adult love – I haven't experienced that yet. I felt like it was my personality in that song." The payment covered one half or less of the production costs of the music video, and Black's family could have paid nothing in exchange for giving up all rights to the song. Ark Music extensively used the pitch-correcting software Auto-Tune. Although Kelly had some doubts over the quality of the lyrics, Black assured her that "I sang it as they wrote it, Mom." "Friday" co-writer Patrice Wilson explained that "I wrote the lyrics on a Thursday night going into a Friday. I was writing different songs all night and was like, 'Wow, I've been up a long time and it's Friday.' And I was like, wow, it is Friday!" Reception. The music video for the song became a viral video. The song was criticized for the lyrics, the use of Auto-Tune and the video. On March 11, 2011, the video's view count on YouTube was still about 4,000. As of April 15, 2011, the video had over 102 million views, 2.1 million comments, 240 000 "likes" and 2 million "dislikes". Since the growth in popularity of the song and video, there have been numerous parody videos and remixes. "Forbes" has said that the unpopularity of the song is another sign

A rotary evaporator (or rotavap) is commonly used in chemical laboratories to remove solvents by evaporation. The liquid is put in a round-bottomed flask and placed in the device. The rotavap spins and heats the flask and reduces the pressure inside by creating a vacuum. The vacuum makes the liquid evaporate at a low temperature than normal. The liquid becomes a gas and is collected by cooling it so it condenses into another flask. If there are substances dissolved in the liquid they will be left behind in when it evaporates. If water with salt dissolved in it is evaporated, then pure water and dry salt will be separated. Scientists use rotary evaporators to remove the liquid a solid is dissolved in. Rotary evaporators are often quicker to use than evaporating basins. They can be used for distillations.

To keep him in a secret from the grown-ups, Tommy hides the lizard inside his diaper and the lizard crawls around inside Tommy’s diaper causing him to twitch and squirm a lot while the babies ponder what to do with Reptar's Baby. A commercial for "Reptar on Ice" suddenly plays, to the shock of the babies and Stu decides to take them all. The babies are now thrilled because they can now "return" the lizard to its "father". As they arrive at the ice show, Leo, the actor portraying "Reptar", shows his outrage at the theme of the show manager, Harry, how he questions why he chose to the play the part due to his dislike of children, lizards, and his inability to the ice skate. The performance begins and as it continues, the adults fall asleep; the babies then take this time to give the lizard to "Reptar." They go onto the ice and rides on the props to catch up with him.

Electron crystallography is a method to determine the arrangement of atoms in solids using a transmission electron microscope (TEM). This method works in many cases where X-ray crystallography does not. The latter needs large 3-D crystals to work. Protein structures are usually done from 2-dimensional crystals (sheets or helices), polyhedrons such as viral capsids, or dispersed proteins. Electrons can be used in these situations, whereas X-rays cannot, because electrons interact more strongly with atoms than X-rays do. Electron crystallography is a method to determine the arrangement of atoms in solids using a transmission electron microscope (TEM). The method was invented by Aaron Klug, who won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for this, and his studies on virus structures and transfer RNA, in 1982. The first electron crystallographic protein structure to be solved was bacteriorhodopsin in 1990. Since then, several other high-resolution structures have been done by electron crystallography, including the light-harvesting complex, and the bacterial flagellum.

He is often nervous and lacks confidence, but also has moments of optimism and determination. Charlie Brown is easily recognizable by his round head and his shirt with a zigzag pattern. The creator of the comic strip, Charles M. Schulz, said that Charlie Brown is a "caricature of the average person" and must be the one who suffers because most people experience more losses than victories. Despite this, Charlie has also experienced happy moments and victories throughout the years, and he has shown self-assertiveness despite his nervousness. Schulz also said that Charlie Brown is usually the main character of each story. Charlie Brown is the only character who has appeared in the Peanuts comic strip throughout its entire run. He is eight years old for most of the comic strip's timeline. In the beginning, he lived in an apartment with his grandmother but later moved to a house with a backyard. He is usually referred to as "Charlie Brown" and never just "Charlie" by the other characters in the strip, except for Peppermint Patty and Marcie, who call him "Chuck" and "Charles," respectively. Lee Mendelson, the producer of the majority of the Peanuts television specials, has said that Charlie Brown is the ultimate survivor who has overcome bullying, whether it comes from Lucy or others. Charlie Brown's catchphrase is "Good Grief!" Personality. Charlie Brown is a character in the comic strip Peanuts. He is a shy, gentle-hearted person who suffers from anxiety.

Schulz, he is an example of the "great American un-success story". Despite his almost continuous streak of bad luck, he keeps trying with huge efforts and work, resulting in either more losses or, very rarely, great victories. Although Charlie Brown is often unlucky within the storylines, he is a shining example of the American success story in the comic strip field. He

Both served in World War II.  On November 26, 2005, Stanley Berenstain died of cancer. He was 82. Jan died February 24, 2012, from a stroke. Books. The couple's first published a book in 1951.

It was published in 1962 and the first book with the Blair Investigates was "A Investigate Star is Born". It was published in 1968 and only as the author and illustrations by Peyo.

Svante August Arrhenius (19 February 1859 – 2 October 1927) was a Nobel Prize-winning Swedish scientist who made discoveries in physics, chemistry and earth science. Originally he was a physicist, but he won the 1903 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, and was a founder of physical chemistry. Later in life, he turned to other scientific problems. He was the first person to predict that emissions of carbon dioxide, from the burning of fossil fuels, would cause global warming. Early work. His early work was on the conductivity of electrolytes. In 1884, based on this work, he submitted a 150-page essay on electrolytic conductivity to University of Uppsala for his doctorate. It did not impress the professors, and he received a low-class degree. Later, extensions of this work would earn him the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. The most important idea in the thesis was his explanation that neither pure salts nor pure water is a conductor, but solutions of salts in water are. Arrhenius' explanation was that in forming a solution, the salt splits up into charged particles (which Michael Faraday had given the name ions many years earlier). Faraday's belief had been that ions were produced in the process of electrolysis; Arrhenius' idea was that, even in the absence of an electric current, solutions of salts contained ions. He proposed that chemical reactions in solution were reactions between ions. In an extension of his ionic scientific theory Arrhenius proposed definitions for acids and bases, in 1884. He believed that acids were substances which produce hydrogen ions in a solution and that bases were substances which produce hydroxide ions in a solution. The Nobel Prize. About 1900, Arrhenius became involved in setting up the Nobel Institutes and the Nobel Prizes. For the rest of his life, he would be a member of the Nobel Committee on Physics and a member of the Nobel Committee on Chemistry. He used his positions to arrange prizes for his friends (Jacobus van't Hoff, Wilhelm Ostwald, Theodore Richards) and to attempt to deny them to his enemies (Paul Ehrlich, Walther Nernst). In 1903 he became
