In the opening credits, Bambi is seen grazing while _Call to the Dairy Cows_ from Gioachino Rossini's opera _William Tell_ (1829) plays in the background. After the credits, Bambi looks up to see Godzilla's foot coming down on him, crushing him (set to "A Day in the Life" by The Beatles). After this, the closing credits play over an image of Godzilla's foot.
Social drinking

**Social drinking** is the name for the consumption of alcoholic drinks in a social setting; people who are social drinkers do this with friends. Many cultures frown upon isolating people because they drink alcohol, and because they may have a problem with alcohol dependence. People meet to celebrate an occasion, which also permits them to drink alcohol without being frowned upon.

Star Fox 2

***Star Fox 2*** is a video game that was developed by Nintendo and Argonaut Software. It was completed in 1995 but was not released until 2017 on the Super NES Classic Edition.

The game was originally going to be released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES). It was going to be the second game in the _Star Fox_ series and the sequel to _Star Fox_. It was going to be released in the summer of 1995. The game was cancelled because the Nintendo 64 was going to be released the following year.

After it was cancelled, unfinished versions of the game was found and put on the internet. In 2017, the game was finally released for the Super NES Classic Edition.

## Gameplay

The gameplay of _Star Fox_ is very different from the first _Star Fox_ game. Instead of going on a path with the same missions each time, the player moves freely on a map screen of the Lylat system. When the player's ships hit an enemy, the screen switches to an action screen with gameplay like the first _Star Fox_ game. Once the player completes what they have to do, they are taken back to the map screen to go to another area.

The player's goal is to destroy all of the enemies on the map while defending Corneria (seen in the lower left corner of the map). The player has to stop Corneria's damage level from reaching 100% from enemy attacks.

The goal is to destroy the ships of the other players and collect stars that they leave behind. Players can collect stars from opponents that were not killed by the player.

Prayer in Christianity

**Prayer in Christianity** is seen by most Christians as a way of communication with God. Prayer is seen as being therapeutic by many Christian leaders. Christians have long used both formal written prayers and have also used extemporaneous prayers, which is simply talking to God, using a person's own words. Charismatic and Pentecostal Christians also pray in tongues. They believe that the Holy Spirit is praying through them.

The Lord's Prayer, which Jesus taught his disciples, was important as an example in the early churches. The prayers in the Old Testament and New Testament have also influenced Christian thought. Many of the Psalms in the Bible are said to God and so are prayers. Many Christians also try to listen to God when praying. They believe that God speaks to them through the Bible, but also directly when they are willing to receive His messages. Many hymns are directed to God so are also prayers.

The Lord's Prayer is included together with other formal prayers, such as the Gloria Patri and the Hail Mary, in the Holy Rosary while thinking about important events in the lives of Jesus and Mary. The Roman Catholic Church has always recognized the efficacy of the Holy Rosary devotion. The Saint Lucia of Fatima said that Virgin Mary "in these last times in which we live has given new efficacy in the recitation of the Holy Rosary" and that " She has given this efficacy to such an extent that there is no problem, no matter how difficult it is, whether temporal or above all spiritual, in the personal life of each one of us, of our families … that cannot be solved by the Rosary".

The **Catherine Palace** is a former Russian residence of the
Russian Imperial family.  It is in the town of Pushkin, Saint Petersburg.

The Palace's town was called Tsarskoye Selo which means Tsar's village in English.  In 1918 the Bolsheviks changed the name to Detskoye Selo. In 1937 the town was renamed to Pushkin to honor Alexander Pushkin.

## History

Catherine I of Russia began the building of the palace in 1717. She hired the German architect Johann-Friedrich Braunstein to create the summer palace. In 1733, Empress Anna added to the palace.  Then in 1752 Empress Elizabeth had the palace torn down.  It was rebuilt in a Rococo style.  More than 100 kilograms of gold were used.  Many statues on the roof were covered in gold.

Catherine the Great thought the palace was old-fashioned.  She employed Scottish architect Charles Cameron.  He made one wing into the Neo-Palladian style.  He also changed the personal apartments of the Empress.

After Catherine's death the imperial family began using Pavlovsk Palace and Alexander Palace.  The palace was destroyed during World War II.  Restoration began soon after the German forces left. Now the palace is mostly restored and is open for tours.

Respiratory failure

**Respiratory failure** is a medical condition which affects respiration. It means the alveoli in the lung are not getting enough oxygen. Because of this, gas exchange in the blood is reduced. Respiratory failure will lead to a person's death. For this reason, it is a medical emergency. Emergency treatment of respiratory failure is very similar to that of cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

## Classification

Respiratory failure has been classified by its cause:
- In_ obstructive respiratory failure_, there is a mechanical problem that blocks or tightens the passage of the air. Examples of conditions that can produce this include Asthma and Cystic fibrosis.
- In _restrictive respiratory failure_, the volume of the person's rib cage is reduced. An example for this is Scoliosis.
- In _traumatic respiratory failure_, the air that is breathed takes the wrong route. Examples are Pneumothorax and Hemothorax.
Also, respiratory failure can be classified by the speed at which it happens:
- _Chronic respiratory failure_ develops at slow speed over time.
- _Acute respiratory failure_ develops rapidly
Battle of Vimy Ridge

The **Battle of Vimy Ridge** was a World War I battle fought in 1917 near Arras in northern France. From the fall of 1914 until 1917 the German army held this eight kilometre-long ridge. From there they could see the Allied trenches for miles in all directions. Several times the Allies tried to take it from the Germans without success. On 9 April, 1917 they attacked again. Four divisions of the Canadian Corps attacked nineteen divisions of the German 6th Army defending the ridge. The Battle was won by the Canadians on Easter Monday, 1917. It was the first time that Canadians had attacked as a national unit. However it cost the Canadians 10,602 casualties.

Oarfish

An **oarfish** is a kind of very long, flat fish. "Oarfish" is another word for fish in the **Regalecidae** family. There are four species of oarfish in the world. The giant oarfish (_Regalecus glesne_) is the longest bony fish alive in the world today. It can grow up to  long.

Oarfish live in the pelagic zone. This means that they live in water that is not near the shore and not near the bottom of the ocean. They live in all temperate and tropical oceans. Oarfish are also very rare. They are usually only seen when a dead one washes onto the shore. When oarfish are sick or dying, they swim up near the surface of the water. This behavior means that oarfish are probably the "sea serpents" in legends.

There are two ideas about why these fish are called "oarfish." One idea is that their bodies look like oars because they are very long and flat. The other idea is that some people used to think that oarfish swam by moving their fins like the oars of a rowboat. We now know that this "rowing" idea is wrong. The family name _Regalecidae_ comes from a word in , which means "royal".
Naked Cowboy

**Robert John Burck** (born December 23, 1970), better known as the **Naked Cowboy**, is an American street performer who performs in Times Square in New York City. He wears only cowboy boots, a hat, and underwear, playing a guitar over his underwear to look like he is nude. He was born in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Burck began performing in 1997 in Venice Beach, Los Angeles. He became popular when a friend suggested that he dress only in his underwear to earn more money. He is currently best-known for performing in Times Square. Tour guides on passing buses point him out, and he gets a lot of attention from tourists who stop and take pictures with him.

Because of his popularity, Burck has appeared on television shows, in music videos, and other mass media. He tried out for _American Idol_ in its first season, but did not move on to the next round. He also tried out for _Australian Idol_ and _Star Search_, with the same result.

On October 6, 2010, Burck announced that he was running for President of the United States in the 2012 U.S. presidential election, representing the Tea Party movement.

Fable (video game)

***Fable*** is a role-playing game made by Big Blue Box and Lionhead Studios for the Xbox, Windows and Mac OS X. The game was released on September 14, 2004 in North America and an extended version of the game called _Fable: The Lost Chapters_, was released for Xbox and Microsoft Windows in September 2005.

Fable was originally called Project Ego in early development and took around four years to create, with a team of around 70 developers working on it. The theme music for Fable was composed by Danny Elfman. The game won over fifty awards and was the Xbox's fastest-selling game at that time.

## Gameplay

In the game, the player controls the main character, The Hero of Oakvale. The player can interact with people and can battle foes. To further the game's plot, the player must complete missions known as quests and can also complete side quests.

The player can choose to either be good or evil. Completing good deeds will award the character good points and will produce a positive alignment and committing evil acts will add evil points and produce a negative alignment. The character's appearance will also change if the player makes the character's alignment strong enough. If the character has a strong enough positive alignment, a halo will appear above the character's head and if the character has a strong enough negative alignment, a red haze will rise from around his legs, he will draw flies, and will have glowing red eyes and horns.

Adagio for Strings

***Adagio for Strings*** is a work by Samuel Barber. It is his most well known work. It was made for string orchestra from the second movement of his String Quartet, Op. 11. Barber finished the _Adagio for Strings_ in 1936. It was the same year that he wrote the quartet. It was conducted by Leonard Bernstein.

It was performed for the first time in 1938, in a radio broadcast from a New York City studio. It was attended by an invited audience, conducted by Arturo Toscanini. Toscanini also took the piece on tour to Europe and South America.

Its reviews was generally positive, with Alexander J. Morin writing that _Adagio for Strings_ is "full of pathos and cathartic passion" and that it "rarely leaves a dry eye." The music is the setting for Barber's 1967 choral arrangement of _Agnus Dei_. _Adagio for Strings_ can be heard in many TV shows and movies.

In 2004, listeners of the BBC's _Today_ programme voted Adagio for Strings the “saddest classical” work ever.

Paleography

**Paleography** is the study of ancient handwriting. Using paleography, it is possible to understand communication between people in archaeology.
Zombie walk

A **zombie walk** is a trek made by people costumed as zombies. These people may also act as starving zombies. They pretend to be looking for human brains to eat. Some people create characters for themselves such as zombie brides, clowns, or mad scientists.

These walks are community events. They are sometimes held near Halloween. There are day walks and night walks. People of all ages join the walk. Sometimes professional make up artists help walkers prepare their faces. Variants on the walk format include zombie pub crawls and zombie runs.

A walk might be held to raise money for a community concern such as local hunger. Sometimes walkers bring packaged and canned foods for the local food bank.  Zombie Walks are held around the world. They may attract thousands of zombie walkers.

In October 2013, the annual New Jersey Zombie Walk had the largest crowd of zombies ever at 9,592. This crowd walked along the Asbury Park boardwalk. This Zombie Walk is in the Guiness World Record.
Integron

An **integron** is a type of transposon, a mobile genetic element. It is a two-part genetic system found in bacteria, and maybe more widely. It is the way antibiotic resistance is passed on so rapidly. It is found in plasmids and chromosomes. Although the first function discovered was antibiotic resistance, other bacterial functions (traits) can be transferred by integrons.

Transposons are the gene "capture and expression elements" which put  the small mobile elements known as **gene cassettes** in place and make them work. Usually,
each cassette has only a single gene and a specific
recombination site. The cassettes carry the DNA coding (= 'a gene') for antibiotic resistance (for example). Typically, the DNA would code for an enzyme which cleaves (cuts) the antibiotic molecule up.

The first part of an integron is a gene which codes for an enzyme which captures cassettes. The second is a site on the genome where the cassettes are inserted, and a promoter which drives expression of cassette-associated genes. "Integron" describes such structures both when no cassettes are present and when there are integrated cassettes. Cassettes can be inserted at the site, they can be cut out, and they can undergo horizontal gene transfer.
