A form taxon is a group of organisms based on what they look like (their morphology). Such a taxon may not reflect their biological relationships. In other words, they may not be a clade.  A good example are the terms snake and lizard, which are not good taxonomic terms because neither is a proper clade. On the other hand, all poisonous snakes and lizards are in a good clade, the Toxicofera. Another good example are ducks. They are in the same family as swans and geese, but called "ducks" because of what they look like.
A neutron moderator is a material that slows down neutrons. This is done in nuclear power stations so the neutrons keep a steady nuclear chain reaction to provide heat.  Neutron moderators are an essential part of most nuclear reactors. Common neutron moderators are ordinary water (called light water in the nuclear industry), heavy water, and graphite.

Heavy water (deuterium oxide, ', ') is a form of water based on deuterium. It has a larger than normal amount of the hydrogen isotope called deuterium ( or D, also known as "heavy hydrogen"). Ordinary water has the common hydrogen-1 isotope ( or H, also called "protium"). This makes up most of the hydrogen in normal water. The presence of deuterium gives the chemical different nuclear properties, and the increase of mass gives it different physical and chemical properties compared to normal "light water". Heavy water is used as a neutron moderator in some nuclear reactors, such as CANDU reactors. It is a more efficient neutron moderator than regular water, allowing the use of unenriched uranium as fuel. Pure heavy water is not radioactive, because deuterium is a stable isotope, but heavy water that has been through a nuclear reactor is slightly radioactive. The chemistry of heavy water is different enough that people, and most living things, cannot survive with heavy water in place of ordinary water. Small amounts are not toxic to people. It is common for people to drink several grams of heavy water for metabolic experiments without causing illness.

Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth, or simply Professor, is a fictional character in the American television series "Futurama" voiced by Billy West and created by Matt Groening.  Farnsworth is the mad scientist of the Planet Express delivery service. He is the great (×30) nephew of Philip J. Fry.

Racial profiling is a term which originated in the United States. The usual context is police stopping and searching citizens on the suspicion that they may have committed a crime. It is controversial because it is usually black citizens who are stopped and searched. In other countries (for example the Middle East) religious and cultural differences may be the basis of police profiling.  In the USA profiling has been tested in the courts a number of times. "Terry v. Ohio" was the first challenge to racial profiling in the United States in 1968. This case was about African American people who were thought to be stealing. The police officer arrested the three men, searched them and found a gun on two of the three men. One of the men searched was convicted and sentenced to jail. The sentence was challenged on the grounds that the arrest violated the search and seizure clause of the Fourth Amendment. In an 8-1 ruling, the Supreme Court decided that the police officer acted in a reasonable manner, and with reasonable suspicion, under the Fourth Amendment. The decision in this case allowed the police to have discretion in identifying suspicious or illegal activities.

Bagualosaurus (from the Portuguese regional term "bagual", referring to a person or animal of strong build) is a sauropodomorph dinosaur. It is the seventh known sauropodomorph discovered in Brazil. It was described in 2018. "Bagualosaurus" lived about 230223 million years ago, and grew to about 2.5 meters (8.2 ft) long. The holotype specimen had a partial skull and jaw, twelve back vertebrae, two tail vertebrae, two chevrons, a pelvis, two partial hindlimbs and five fragmentary ribs. The pieces were found on a ravine at the edge of a pond in rural Agudo in 2007.  The fossil had been kept in a closet of the Laboratory of Paleovertebrates of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul South. The fossil was described as a sauropodomorph on May 25, 2018. Paleoecology. "Bagualosaurus" probably had a fully herbivorous diet. They had a dentition well adapted for eating vegetation. All sauropods have two characteristics in common: gigantism and herbivorism. Their diet may have been the source of later sauropod gigantism. Modern trees had not evolved, and herbivores at the time had cycads, ferns and early conifers as food. "Bagualosaurus" lived in the Santa Maria Formation alongside animals such as the carnivorous sauropodomorph "Buriolestes", the crocodile-like "Cerritosaurus" and the possible theropod "Staurikosaurus".
Darwinsaurus (meaning "Darwin's lizard") was an ornithopod dinosaur. It was once wrongly described as "Iguanodon". In the early nineteenth century dinosaur skeletons were discovered near Hastings in East Sussex. These were first reported by Richard Owen in 1842. In 1889 they were referred to "Iguanodon fittoni" by Richard Lydekker. They were then assigned to "Hypselospinus fittoni" by David B. Norman in 2010. In 2012 Gregory S. Paul named them as a separate genus and species. The type species is Darwinsaurus evolutionis. The generic name honours Charles Darwin for his theory of evolution. The first fossil described as "Darwinsaurus" is known from a partial skeleton. Paul's decision is being challenged, and the present account may need be changed.
