2019 Brazil wildfires

The **2019 Brazil wildfires** is the result of at least 75,336 wildfires occurred in the country since January 2019.

As of August 20, there are fires burning in the Amazon rainforest in four Brazilian states: Amazonas, Rondônia, Mato Grosso and Pará. At least 39,194 fires have been detected in Amazonas, which is the largest state in Brazil by area, and which has the "largest standing tracts of unbroken rainforest" in the world.

A state of emergency was declared by the government of Amazonas on August 11.

The federal government and President Jair Bolsonaro claims that the data on the numbers are "fake" and refuses to help end the fires or allow other countries to help.

In August, Bolsonaro said no one was allowed to set fires in the Amazon for 60 days.  When someone wants to change rainforest land into a farm or other thing, first they cut down the trees and leave them there.  Then they allow the land to dry.  Then they set it on fire.  So many of the trees were still killed because people could cut them down and wait to burn them until later.

Wildfires were also a problem on the Cerrado grassland, a place with many rare plants and animals.  40% of its animals do not live in any other place on Earth.

Yap

**Yap** or Wa′ab traditionally refers to an island in the Caroline Islands of the western Pacific Ocean, a part of the Federated States of Micronesia. The name "Yap" in recent years has come to also refer to the state within the Federated States of Micronesia, inclusive of the Yap Main Islands and its various outer islands.

## Geography

The Yap Main Islands are considered to be made up of four separate islands: Yap Island proper (_Marbaq_), Gagil-Tamil, Maap, and Rumung. The four are contiguous, though separated by water, and are surrounded by a common coral reef. They are formed from an uplift of the Philippine Sea Plate, and are referred to as "high" islands as opposed to atolls. The land is mostly rolling hills, densely vegetated. Mangrove swamps line much of the shore, although there are beaches on the northern sides of the islands. Excluding the reef area, Yap is approximately 24 km long, 5–10 km wide, and 98 km.  The highest elevation is  at Mount Taabiywol in Fanif municipality on Yap island proper.    The Yapese people's indigenous cultures and traditions are strong compared to other states in Micronesia.

## Capital

Colonia is the capital of the State of Yap which includes the Yap Main Islands and the Yap Neighboring Islands—the outer islands (mostly atolls) reaching to the east and south from the Yap Main Islands for some 800 km (500 mi), namely the atolls of Eauripik, Elato, Faraulep, Gaferut, Ifalik, Lamotrek, Ngulu, Olimarao, Piagailoe (West Fayu), Pikelot, Sorol, Ulithi, and Woleai, as well as the islands of Fais and Satawal (see map). Historically, a tributary system existed between the Neighboring Islands and the Yap Main Islands. This probably related to the need for goods from the high islands, including food, as well as wood for construction of seagoing vessels.

## Population

In 2000 the population of Colonia and ten other municipalities totalled 11,241. The state has a total land area of .

Qinlingosaurus

***Qinlingosaurus*** is a genus of herbivorous sauropod from the late Cretaceous, one of the last in Asia. The fossil evidence is very limited: it is only an ilium, ischium  and three vertebrae.

Typhoon Krosa (2019)

**Typhoon Krosa** was a storm that affected Japan. It was the next typhoon after Lekima, in the 2019 Pacific typhoon season.

## Storm history

A tropical depression formed near Mariana Islands on August 5. By August 6, it intensified into a tropical storm, and was named Krosa by the JMA. Tropical Storm Krosa soon became a typhoon, and rapidly intensified to become a category 3-equivalent typhoon on August 8. Upwelling of cooler waters induced weakening thereafter; by August 13, Krosa weakened below typhoon intensity. Krosa continued moving, albeit slowly, towards Japan with little change in intensity. Moderately conducive conditions were unable to aid Krosa in strengthening, and it stayed the same intensity before landfall in Japan. On August 14, Krosa emerged in the Sea of Japan and a few days later on August 16 Krosa transitioned into an extratropical low.

## Impact

The typhoon brought torrential rain to parts of Shikoku and Honshu, with accumulations peaking at  at Yanase in Kochi Prefecture. Wind gusts reached  in Muroto. Rough seas produced by the storm killed two people while flooding killed one other. Fifty-five people were injured in various incidents. Agricultural damage in Japan reached ¥279.61 million (US$2.64 million).

Albert Fish

**Hamilton Howard "Albert" Fish** (May 19, 1870 – January 16, 1936) was an American serial killer, child rapist and cannibal. He was also known as the **Gray Man**, the **Werewolf of Wysteria**, the **Brooklyn Vampire**, the **Moon Maniac**, and **The Boogey Man**.  Fish once boasted that he "had children in every state", and at one time stated his number of victims was about 100. However, it is not known whether he was referring to rapes or cannibalization, nor is it known if the statement was truthful. Fish was a suspect in at least five murders during his lifetime.  Fish confessed to three murders that police were able to trace to a known murder, and he confessed to stabbing at least two other people. He was put on trial for the kidnapping and murder of Grace Budd, and was convicted and executed by electric chair at Sing Sing.  His last words were, "I don't even know why I'm here."

Fish was known to stab himself with pins, as could be seen from X-rays.  He was also known to eat his own feces.  Fish supposedly ate the penis of at least one of his victims.

Due to modus operandi, his crimes were sometimes confused with those of nearby serial killer Peter Kudzinowski.

Mac OS X Public Beta

Mac Os X Public Beta is a Operating System of Apple Computers which are Developed by Apple Inc. Which is later on Updated to the version Mac OS X 10.0

The **Mac OS X Public Beta** was an early, test version of the Mac OS X operating system released to the public in late 2000 for USD $30. Hardcore Macintosh fans could therefore get a taste of the upcoming operating system before its final release. It was named Kodiak internally by Apple. The name was not publicly used.

The Public Beta was the first time people could use the Aqua interface. Virtually everything was new in the operating system: fonts, the Dock, even the menu bar (with an Apple logo at the centre, which was later repositioned). The icons exploded in size, and new OS eye candy was all the rage.

As it was a public beta, this version was not without its bugs and inconveniences. Apple used user feedback to improve upon the OS, so that a vastly improved Golden Master version of Mac OS X was ready for release by March 2001.

The Public Beta version came with a price tag, and a time limit (set for May 15, 2001). In spite of all these shortcomings, it was still welcomed by the Mac community, with people eager to test drive the new OS.

The Public Beta was superseded by Mac OS X 10.0.0, the first final release of Mac OS X.

Zorro

**Zorro**, Spanish for fox, is the name used by a fictional Mexican-era California masked hero and master swordsman of the Old West.

In the stories, his real name is Don Diego De La Vega who fights for the people against the corrupt tyranny of Govenor Montero where he proves to be much too foxlike and cunning for the bumbling authorities to catch.

## History

The first Zorro story was a 1919 novel, _The Curse of Capistrano_, by Johnston McCulley.  He soon becomes a regular character in pulp fiction magazines.  McCulley was inspired by the story of the real bandit Salomon Pico and other real Mexican bandits who robbed Americans after the Mexican-American War.  However, because his readers were Americans, McCulley had his Zorro fighting Spanish people instead of Americans.

## In other works

The character has been also adapted for numerous movies, the most famous of which include:
- _The Mark of Zorro_ (1920), starring Douglas Fairbanks
- _The Mark of Zorro_ (1940), starring Tyrone Power
- _The Mask of Zorro_ (1998), starring Anthony Hopkins as Don Diego De La Vega and Antonio Banderas as Alejandro Murrieta, a misfit outlaw who is groomed to become the next Zorro.

There was one parody movie in 1981, _Zorro: The Gay Blade_, which starred George Hamilton.

There were also numerous television shows with the best known one being one shown in the 1950s starring Guy Williams.

AMC uses the Sabarmati river and Narmada canal as the two main sources of water supply for catering to the domestic and commercial demand. It also utilizes groundwater as a source for water supply.

Currently, it operates 4 major _Water Treatment Plants (WTPs)_ namely Kotarpur, Raska, Dudheswar, and Jaspur. Also, there are 7 operational french wells on Sabarmati River that augment water supply to the city. After the treatment, AMC supplies water through its pipeline network to its strategically located _Water Distribution Stations (WDSs)_ in 6 zones across the city.

## Solid Waste Management System

Lunar south pole

The **lunar south pole** is a place on the Moon. It has a special interest because ice seems to be inside the craters.

As the moon orbits, it keeps one face always opposite the Earth. So when the Sun shines on it, it shines obliquely on the poles. Thus it never reaches the ice inside the craters, and the water stays frozen. The same pattern might apply to the Moon's northern pole, but that has fewer craters.

Permadeath

**Permadeath**, short for **permanent death**, is a feature in video games where if a character dies, they will stay dead for the rest of the game. The only way be able to play dead characters would be to load the game file before the character died or to start the game all over again.

This is a big feature in _Fire Emblem_ games. Permadeath adds a level of challenge to the player, so the player must be very careful where they move each of their own player units. However, in every _Fire Emblem_ game since _Fire Emblem: Awakening_, the player has the choice whether or not they want to play the game with permadeath.
