The Toccata and Fugue in D minor, BWV 565 is a work for organ by Johann Sebastian Bach. It was written about 1708. It is often identified with melodramatic silent movies and scary movies, and was made famous when Walt Disney included the music in his animated movie "Fantasia". Today, though, the original manuscript is lost and the work is known through copies made by Bach's students.
"Toccata" has been referenced many times throughout popular culture. It is often used to represent fright, mystery, or the macabre, possibly due being written in a minor key.
Shaggy Rogers (Scooby-Doo)
Norville "Shaggy" Rogers is a fictional character from "Scooby-Doo". Shaggy is best friends with his dog Scooby Doo. Shaggy likes to eat a lot of food and gets scared easily and is known for saying his catchphrase, "Zoinks".
Shaggy has been voiced by Casey Kasem and Matthew Lillard, with the latter reprising his role from the two Raja Gosnell movies.
Various internet memes portray Shaggy as a god who uses a low percentage of his power after eating Scooby Snacks. Matthew Lillard thought the Ultra Instinct Shaggy memes were funny and loved them.

Law &amp; Order
Law & Order was an American television show and is aired on NBC from September 13, 1990 to May 24, 2010. It is a police procedural, violence, bloody violence and drama. It's the longest primetime crime drama show ever in America. Season 0 (Pre-1) (Pilot) could've been aired in 1988.
Many of the crimes in the episodes were "ripped from the headlines", meaning they were based on crimes that really happened. Episodes of the show were usually split into two parts. The first part would show the crime, the police looking for the suspect (the person they think did the crime), and the suspect being arrested. This is the "Law" part. The second part, the "Order" part, would show the trial and whether or not the suspect did the crime.
Yeshiva
A yeshiva is a Jewish place of education. It is focused on study of the Torah and Talmud.
Helium-4
Helium-4 (also written He) is an isotope of helium. It is the most common isotope of helium in the universe. Out of all the helium on the Earth, 99.99986% is helium-4. The nucleus (the center) of a helium-4 atom is also known as the alpha particle. Helium-4 is made of 2 protons (the part of an atomic nucleus with a positive charge), 2 neutrons (the part of an atomic nucleus with no charge) and 2 electrons (the part of an atom that goes around the nucleus with a negative charge).
Many helium-4 on Earth is produced from the alpha decay of heavy elements. In the Sun and the whole universe, most helium-4 is made during the Big Bang, the event that created the universe. This "Big Bang helium-4" is known as the "primordial helium". Helium-4 is also made in nuclear fusion at the center of stars. Primordial helium is not found on Earth due to it escaping because of the extremely high temperature of Earths creation.
Helium-4 on Earth was made through radioactive decay (when an atom breaks down into smaller atoms) from other elements, and it is made after the planet cooled and became solid.
One quarter of all the mass in the Universe is helium-4. The rest is mostly hydrogen.
When helium-4 in its liquid form is cooled to below -271.17 °C (2.71 K), it turns into a superfluid. A superfluid is a special kind of fluid that has properties that are different from normal fluids. For example, if helium-4 as a superfluid is placed in an open container, it will climb the walls of the container and spill out. This is called a "Rollin film". It is caused by a phenomenon in quantum mechanics that is known as the Clausius-Clapeyron relation. The nucleus of helium-4 has a total spin of zero (an integer), and this makes it a boson. Now, the superfluid behaviour is a form of the Bose-Einstein condensate that can only be done by bosons.
Helium-4 can also be found on the Moon. On Earth, it is the most common isotope of helium.

Ramallah
Ramallah ( "Rāmallāh" is a Palestinian city, in the West Bank. It is north of Jerusalem. It currently serves as the "de facto" capital of the State of Palestine, Palestine Liberation Organization and the Palestinian National Authority. The constitutional capital is Jerusalem. Ramallah has over 27,000 people living there. Ramallah was historically a Christian town, but today Muslims form the majority of the population, with about 25% of the people Christians.
The name of the city is made of "Ram", an Aramaic word that means "high place or mountain", and "Allah", the Arabic word for God. It translates as "Height of God".

Maximum and minimum
In mathematics, the maximum and minimum of a set A is the largest and smallest element of A. They are written as formula_1 and formula_2, respectively. Similarly, the maximum and minimum of a function are the largest and smallest value that the function takes at a given point. Together, they are known as the extrema (the plural of extremum). But, you may not see extrema as a word, because that is not taught in normal Honors Math.
Minimum means the least you can do of something. For example, if the minimum amount of dollars you must pay for something is seven, then you cannot pay six dollars or less (you must pay at least seven). You can do more than the minimum, but no less. Maximum means the most you can have of something. For example, if the maximum amount of oranges you can juggle is five, you cannot juggle more than five oranges. You can do the maximum or less.
For a differentiable function formula_3, if formula_4 is an extreme value for the set of all values formula_5, and if formula_6 is in the interior of the domain of formula_3, then formula_6 is a critical point, by Fermat's theorem.
