Nilotic peoples

**Nilotic** is a word that refers to a number of people who speak Nilotic languages. Today they live in Sudan, Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania and Ethiopia. Most of them are farmers, raising cattle.

## Occupation and Lifestyle

They live by farming, fishing, and hunting. They mostly eat milk, grain, and milk products. They don't just kill cows for meat. Instead, they use cows as payment or gifts, and having many cows shows how rich and important someone is. They have many words for cows and spend a lot of time taking care of them. They build big shelters for the cows called kraals. Some people even train their favorite cow and give it a name. Cows are important in their religious ceremonies, where they are offered as gifts or sacrifices to ancestors or spirits.

During the rainy season, they stay in villages that are always there, built above where floods can reach. They grow crops and take care of cows near their strong, round houses. In the dry season, they move to temporary camps with their cows near water and fields. They live in shelters to block the wind and spend their time taking care of cows and fishing.

## Physical appearance

Nilotic people are usually thin/skinny and have very dark skin. The Nilotic people in Sudan are among the tallest groups of people.

## Nilotic Tribes

- Acholi
- Anywa
- Dinka
- Luo
- Nuer
- Shilluk
Roman Patkoló

**Roman Patkoló** (born 6 February 1982 in Zilina, Slovakia) is a Slovak virtuoso double bass player.

Patkoló started to play the double bass when he was only 13.  This is quite a young age to play the double bass which is a very large instrument.  He soon showed his amazing talent and two years later won 1st prize in the National Slovak Competition.

Since then he has won many other competitions, including the International Double Bass Competition in 1999 in Iowa, USA.  The following year he won the Johannes Matthias Sperger International Music Competition, which is the world’s most famous competition for double bass playing.  Many other prizes followed.  He finished his studies in Munich in 2005.

He got a scholarship from the foundation organized by  the violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter.  This foundation has encouraged several composers to write new solo works for the double bass.  Mutter’s husband, the conductor Sir André Previn, composed a concerto for violin, double bass and orchestra, which was first performed in 2007 by the Boston Symphony Orchestra with Previn conducting and Mutter and Patkoló as soloists.

A notable recent collaboration is with composer Gediminas Gelgotas. Their performance of Gelgotas' Sanctifaction premiered in February 2018 with publications by the Gramophone Magazine and the Strad. In June 2018 both musicians performed live on BR Klassik.

Roman Patkoló was named as one of five instrumentalists of the year by Opus Klassik award (succeeding Echo Klassik) in Germany in 2018.

Patkoló is asked to perform all over the world. He now teaches at the University of Music Basel.

Development of the DSi began in late 2006, shortly after the release of the DS Lite. A larger version of the DSi titled the **Nintendo DSi XL** was released in 2009/2010.

## Features

The DSi is about 12% thinner (2.6 mm) and the screen is about 17% bigger than the Nintendo DS Lite. It has two Video Graphics Array (or VGA) 0.3 megapixel  digital cameras; one is pointed at the user and the other is in the outer shell. The power switch is now a power button like the original Nintendo DS instead of a switch and is moved to the bottom to make it harder to bump by accident. It no longer has a slot to play Game Boy Advance games in and one will not be able to play games such as _Guitar Hero: On Tour_ on the DSi because the game requires the slot and the download games.

## Differences between the Nintendo DS Lite and Nintendo DSi

- **Bigger Screen:** The DSi Screen is one quarter of an inch bigger than the DS Lite screen.
- **Lighter:** The DSi is 4 grams lighter than the DS Lite.
- **Battery Life:** The battery lasts between 1–5 hours less than the DS Lite.
- **Extra memory:** The Nintendo DSi has a SD card slot, on which photos and music can be stored.
- **No Game Boy Game Slot:** The DSi cannot play Game Boy Advance games and _DS_ games that require the use of the _GBA_ slot; this caused disappointment when it came out.
- **Camera:** The DSi has two cameras, one on the inside and one on the outside and the photos can be put on the SD card and later printed.
- **Music Player:** The DSi has an AAC player, for playing music, much like an iPod does.
- **Internet:** The DSi has an internet browser that cannot watch videos, but can do everything else.

Tapestry

**Tapestry** is art made with threads. It is woven by hand on a vertical loom. It is weft-faced weaving. This means all the warp threads (the ones that go up and down) are hidden in the completed work. In normal cloth weaving both the warp and the weft threads can be seen.

In this way, a colourful pattern or image is made. Most weavers use a natural warp thread such as linen or cotton. The weft threads, which will be seen, are usually wool or cotton. They can also be made of silk, gold, silver, or other things.

Both craftsmen and artists have made tapestries. The 'blueprints' on cardboard (also known as 'tapestry cartoons') were made by artists, while actual weaving of the tapestries was done by craftsmen.

## Function

The success of decorative tapestry can be partially explained by its portability (Le Corbusier once called tapestries "nomadic mural<nowiki/>s"). Kings and noblemen could roll up and transport tapestries from one residence to another. In churches, they were displayed on special occasions. Tapestries were also draped on the walls of castles for insulation during winter, as well as for decorative display.

The famous Bayeux tapestry is not actually a tapestry, but a decorated cloth. And it was probably designed and made in England by Anglo-Saxon artists.
Critically endangered species

A **critically endangered species** is a species of plant or animal, that has an extremely high risk of extinction in the future.

## Critically endangered amphibians

- The Corroboree Frog, a very small frog found only in the high mountains of south east Australia.

## Critically endangered reptiles

- The Gharial, a crocodile like animal.
- The Orinoco crocodile is a crocodile that only lives in the Orinoco river

## Critically endangered birds

- The Grenada dove is a dove that only lives on the island of Grenada

## Critically endangered molluscs

- The Similar Partula is a species of land snail that is now found only on one valley in French Polynesia.

Peppered moth

The **peppered moth** (_Biston betularia_) is a species of night-flying moth. They are often used by educators as an example of natural selection: see peppered moth evolution.

The caterpillars of the peppered moth mimic the form and also the colour of the twig they rest on. The caterpillars can sense the twig’s colour with their skin and match their body colour to the background to protect themselves from predators.

The **Ditrysia** are a natural group or clade of insects in the Lepidopteran order. It contains both butterflies and moths. They are called ditrisians because the female has two distinct sexual openings: one for mating, and the other for laying eggs.

About 98% of described species of Lepidoptera belong to Ditrysia. The group can be divided into basal or _incertae sedis_ "micromoths", and the **Apoditrysia**.  The Apoditrysia includes mostly the larger moths and the butterflies.
Lycaenidae

The **Lycaenidae**  are the second-largest family of butterflies, with about 6000 species worldwide. They are also called **gossamer-winged butterflies**.

The family includes many beautiful species. Some, like the Palos Verdes blue, are critically endangered. The Lycaenids were favourites of the Russian novelist and lepidopterist Vladimir Nabokov.

Fire drill

A **fire drill** is a sudden practice event, where people leave a building. They are practicing what they would do if there was a fire in the building. The event is started when the fire alarm goes off. The fire alarm sound can either be a continuous metal bell, a horn or a two-tone siren. Some old alarms in the UK like the Chloride Gent Warbler will curve between the two tones. The entire building is evacuated and everybody leaves the building using the nearest fire exit. At a school, college or university, the teacher or the lecturer counts the people outside to find out if anyone is missing. Sometimes people are evacuated when a drill is not scheduled by the school. This is called a false alarm. There are rules and regulations in place where fire alarm devices should be tested on a weekly basis. If the fire alarm sounds and the building is not evacuated, this may be due to the scheduled fire alarm test that people already know about.

In the United Kingdom, the law recommends that all schools must do a fire drill every term.  But with the current UK government laws,  any organization in the UK should conduct a fire drill once a year. In addition to sounding the fire alarms for regular fire drills during term time, regular health and safety checks such as testing fire alarm systems and fire extinguishers must be done weekly. During half term holidays and breaks, these tests are often done during the day so that staff who work during term time know what the fire alarm sounds like. The fire alarm in the United Kingdom sounds either a continuous two tone buzzer or a beep similar to an electronic game beeping in test mode. Sometimes depending on the sounder used, the buzzer can curve between the two tones. In the United States, different states have laws that say how often schools must have fire drills. For example, in many states, schools must have one fire drill per month and fire alarms can either be continuous, or set to different codes such as code 3.

Fire drills commonly take place in schools, colleges and public companies. In public transport such as cruise ships, it is called a muster drill. Fire drills aren't done on airplanes, but a safety demonstration  that shows the emergency procedures of the aircraft is done instead. If an aircraft is about to perform an emergency landing, the passangers on the aircraft are told to take the safety brace position on hearing the "brace" command.

## Different ways of having fire drills

During fire drills, some schools block exits with a piece of cardboard or something else that is supposed to stand for a fire. This makes people practice finding another way out of the building.
