École normale supérieure

**École normale supérieure** is the name for a number of French higher education bodies _grand école_s, comparable to universities. In France, universities have to accept all students with a baccalaureat. This is different for the so-called Grandes Ecoles, which includes the Ecoles normales supérieures. These schools do not have the obligation to accept anyone, and only a select few can attend studies at these institutions, most of whom will become part of the elite in various areas. Universities have faculties, and each faculty is responsible for one branch of studies. the ENS usually group similar subjects at one school, and do not have faculties.

The history of _écoles normales supérieures_ goes back to 30 October 1794 (_9 brumaire an III_), when _École normale de l'an III_ was established during the French Revolution. From 1808 to 1822 the school was subsequently reestablished as _pensionnat normal_, before being recreated in 1826 and in 1830 it was named _École normale_. The current name comes from 1845, when the word _supérieure_ was added to the so-called _écoles normales_, which were institutes created in 1845 for the training of primary school teachers.

The Savary Law of 1984 restructured higher education in France and classified _écoles normales supérieures_ within the category of _établissements publics à caractère scientifique, culturel et professionnel_.

As of January 2014, there are **four** existing ENSes:

- , located in Paris
- , located in Lyon
- , located in Gif-sur-Yvette, near Paris
- , located in Rennes

A twin institution has existed in Italy since its foundation by Napoleon Bonaparte, the _Scuola Normale Superiore_ in Pisa.

- Louis Althusser
- Michel Foucault
- Jean-Charles Darmon (1982), French literary critic.
- Jacques Derrida

Ostracoderm

The **ostracoderms** are a class of extinct fish. They were bony-armoured jawless fish, the **Osteostraci** ("bony shields"). They lived in what is now North America, Europe and Russia from the Middle Silurian to Upper Devonian. They were the first fish to use gills just for respiration.

Ostracoderms were the first fossil fish to be discovered. They were found in the 1830s in the Old Red Sandstone of Scotland. The genus _Cephalaspis_ is quite a common fossil in these rocks.

The term "Ostracoderm" is polyphyletic, because it refers to groups which should not be lumped together.
Nancy Wake

**Nancy Grace Augusta Wake** (30 August 1912 – 7 August 2011) known as the "White Mouse", was an Australian who worked as a spy for the British in World War II. At one time she was on the top of the Gestapo's most wanted list. A novel by Sebastian Faulks based on her life called _Charlotte Gray_, was later made into a movie starring Cate Blanchett.

Wake was born in Wellington, New Zealand in 1912, and moved to Australia when she was two. She ran away from home at the age of 16, and in 1935 went to London. She learned to be a journalist and worked in Paris. She married a rich factory owner, Henry Fioca in 1939. When the war started she became an ambulance driver. She soon became a part of a group led by Pat O'Leary (real name Albert Guérisse) which helped British soldiers escape from France. The Gestapo soon noticed her activities and she fled to Spain. Her husband was captured, tortured and shot dead.

In England she joined the Special Operation Executive (SOE). In April 1944, Wake was parachuted into France to work with the French Resistance before the D-Day landings. She was involved in several major battles with the German army. She claimed to have once killed an SS soldier with her bare hands.

She was given several important medals for bravery including the British George Medal, the French Croix de Guerre (on three occasions), the Médaille de la Résistance and she was made a Chevalier de la Légion d'Honneur. The Americans gave her the Medal of Freedom. In 2004 Australia made her a Companion of the Order of Australia.

She was an unusual woman for her time. She had a reputation among the soldiers she worked with for being a heavy drinker. Major John Farmer said about her drinking that "...we just couldn't work out where it all went". When the Australian government offered her a medal she said they could "stick their medals where the monkey sticks his nuts". She sold her medals to support her income in her old age. She said "There was no point in keeping them, I'll probably go to hell and they'd melt anyway".
Erymanthian Boar

Platanus orientalis

***Platanus orientalis***, also called **Oriental plane tree** and **chenar**, is a large, deciduous tree of the Platanaceae family. It is known for its longevity and spreading crown.

It was equally as famous to the Iranian-speaking world and from  Turkey to Kashmir is called _Chenar_ or related names, following the Iranian.

The native range of the Oriental plane is Eurasia from the Balkans to as far east as at least Iran. Some accounts extend its native range to Iberia in the west, and to the Himalayas in the east.

The oriental plane is found naturally in riverine settings, together with such trees as alder, willow and poplar. However, it is quite capable of survival and success in dry soils once it is established. In Kashmir it is recognised as the State tree of the region.

https://exercisehealthcoach.com/exergaming-the-fun-way-to-stay-fit-and-healthy/=== How to Get Started with Exergaming ===

## 1. Choose Your Platform

Exergames are available on various platforms, including consoles, smartphones, and virtual reality systems. Popular console options include Nintendo Switch, Xbox, and PlayStation, while smartphone users can find countless exergaming apps on both Android and iOS. Virtual reality systems like Oculus Quest and PlayStation VR also offer immersive exergaming experiences.

## 2. Select Your Games

Once you've chosen your platform, explore the available exergames to find ones that appeal to you. Consider your fitness goals, interests, and preferred intensity level when making your selection.

## 3. Set Up Your Space

Ensure you have enough space to move comfortably during your workouts. For console-based exergames, you may need a TV, a gaming console, and potentially additional accessories like motion controllers or a gaming mat. Smartphone-based exergames often require just your phone and a comfortable area to move in, while VR exergaming will need a VR headset and adequate room to move without obstacles.

## 4. Start Slow and Progress Gradually

Like any new workout routine, it's crucial to start slow and progress gradually. Begin with lower-intensity workouts and shorter sessions, then increase the difficulty and duration as you become more comfortable and build endurance.

Communications satellite

**Communications satellites** are satellites stationed in space for the purpose of telecommunications. They relay radio waves between different places. Most are in synchronous orbit. Direct-broadcast satellite<nowiki/>s transmit many television channels.

Satellite based communication systems can be used for voice and data transmission in remote and underserved locations such as ships at sea. Satellite internet access is internet access provided through satellites. Satellite based systems can be used for providing high quality broadband internet connection to businesses.

Herman Potočnik (writing as 'Herman Noordung') was the first to propose that space stations use radio to communicate with Earth. In October 1945 **Arthur C. Clarke** published an article titled "Extraterrestrial relays" in the British magazine _Wireless World_. The article described artificial satellites in geostationary orbits to relay radio signals. So, Clarke is often quoted as being the inventor of the communications satellite.

Primitive communication satellites were tested in the early 1960s. Geosynchronous satellites became important in the 1970s.

## Types of Satellite Orbits

There are 4 main satellite orbits.

- **Low Earth Orbit (LEO)** - Between 160 km to 2,000 km from Earth surface and completes one orbit in 90 - 120 minutes
- **Geosynchronous Earth Orbit (GEO)** - 36000 km from Earth
- **Medium Earth Orbit (MEO)** - Between LEO and GEO orbits
- **Elliptical Orbit** - A long, narrow orbit that spends much of its time over subarctic areas

### Revisit Time

The time taken by satellites to visit the same point on earth again is called the revisit time. Revisit time can be shortened by combining data from multiple satellites.

## Other uses of Communication Satellites

In addition to transmitting data, Modern satellites have;

- **Optical sensors** to capture photographs
- **Radar sensors** to accurately measure height
- **Atmospheric sensors** to detect gas levels in air
- To detect damage from Natural disasters

Nasi kucing

***Nasi kucing*** (also called ***sego kucing***), meaning **cat rice** or **cat's rice**, is an Indonesian rice dish. It comes from Yogyakarta, Semarang, and Surakarta. It can now be found in many places. It is a small serving of rice with different toppings. Often the toppings include chili sauce, dried fish, and tempeh. It is wrapped in banana leaves.

## Name origin

The name _nasi kucing_, which means "cat rice" or "cat's rice", comes from the size of the rice served. There is very little rice, almost like what a Javanese person would give to a cat.

## Origin

_Nasi kucing_ was first served in Yogyakarta, Semarang, and Surakarta. Now it can be found in many places. It can be found in Jakarta and even Mecca; in Mecca it is sold by Indonesian workers during the hajj.

## Serving

The rice part of _nasi kucing_ is small, about as big as a fist. It is served with different toppings. The toppings often include _sambal_ (chili sauce), dried fish, and tempeh. Sometimes the toppings can be egg, chicken, and cucumber. It is able to be eaten immediately after it is bought. It is served wrapped in a banana leaf and paper.

Another version of _nasi kucing_, called _sego macan_ (meaning "tiger's rice") is three times the size of a regular portion of _nasi kucing_. _Sego macan_ is served with roasted rice, dried fish, and vegetables. Like _nasi kucing_, _sego macan_ is served wrapped in a banana leaf and paper.

## Sales

_Nasi kucing_ is often sold at a low price. Sometimes _nasi kucing_ can be as cheap as Rp 1000 (US$ 0.12). _Sego macan_ can be about Rp 4000 (US$ 0.48). It is often sold at small food stalls called _angkringan_, which are located at the side of many roads. The customers are often poorer people, including pedicab and taxi drivers, students, and street musicians. This has led to _angkringan_ being called the "lowest class of eatery".

The owners of the _angkringan_ often come from poorer families, may have few skills that can be used to find a job, or come from far-away villages. To open their stalls, they borrow money from a patron, called a _juragan_. They may borrow up to Rp 900,000.00 (US$ 105.00). The seller must repay the patron from the net profits of Rp 15,000.00 – Rp 20,000.00 (US$ 1.75 – 2.35) a day.
Hyponatremia

**Hyponatremia** (British English: **hyponatraemia**) is when there is not enough sodium in the body (in the blood). It is mostly caused by the presence of too much water. Sodium is an essential mineral.

## Causes

Hyponatremia is most often a complication of other medical illnesses in which excess water collects in the body faster than can be excreted. For instance, congestive heart failure is a syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) use. Some runners who drink a lot of water before running a marathon also suffer this illness. Drinking too much water can impair the ability of marathon runners.

Marlin

**Marlins**, family **Istiophoridae**, are fish with an elongated body, a spear-like snout or bill, and a long rigid dorsal fin, which extends forward to form a crest. Its common name is thought to derive from its resemblance to a sailor's marlinspike. Even more so than their close relatives the scombrids, marlin are incredibly fast swimmers, marlins are fast swimmers, reaching speeds of about .

Marlin are rarely table fare, appearing mostly in fine restaurants. Most modern sport fishermen release marlin after unhooking.

Most suited to grilling, marlin can also be prepared by baking, poaching, shallow frying or smoking, or eaten raw as sashimi. Marlin is delicious smoked and is a common entrée.
Pufferfish

**Tetraodontiformes** is an order of fish, with about 100 species. They are known as the **blowfish**, **fugu**, **swellfish**, and **globefish**. They are called pufferfish because when they are threatened, they puff up to about twice their normal size by gulping water. In this enlarged state, the pufferfish can swim at only about half their normal speed.

Pufferfish are generally believed to be the second-most poisonous vertebrates in the world, after the golden poison frog. They use tetrodotoxin, a powerful neurotoxin.

Most pufferfish are found in sub-tropical and tropical marine waters (including coral reefs) in the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans. Some pufferfish live in brackish and fresh water.

The scientific name refers to the four large teeth, fused into an upper and lower plate, which are used for crushing the shells of crustaceans and mollusks, their natural prey. Even though pufferfish are poisonous, the meat of some species is eaten in Japan (as 河豚, pronounced 'fugu'), Korea (as 복 bok or 복어 bogeo ), and China (as 河豚 hétún). It is prepared by specially trained chefs who know which parts, and how much of them, are safe to eat.

Aside from extant pufferfish, there are also prehistoric pufferfish, like _Zignoichthys_. Some people also keep pufferfish as pets.
Fort Kent, Maine

**Ft. Kent** is a town in northern Maine. It touches the Canadian border.
Oxytocin

**Oxytocin** is a hormone found in mammals. It is a peptide hormone and neuropeptide. It acts on the brain. In humans it is released during female reproduction, especially during and after childbirth.

It has other effects. It encourages pair bonding, and parental behaviour. It is released during intimate moments during orgasms and even hugs. For this reason it is often called the 'love hormone'.

Strange to say, the oxytocin released by the pituitary gland cannot reach the brain: it does have effects on the rest of the body. The reason is that there is a blood–brain barrier which prevents large molecules from getting into the brain. Instead, the hormone is produced by special nerve cells inside the brain.

Oxytocin is also released through the use of recreational drugs like MDMA and some prescription anti-depressants.

Oxytocin was the first polypeptide hormone to be sequenced and synthesized, by Vincent du Vigneaud and colleagues in 1953.
