Control group

**Control group** in a science experiment  is like a special group that helps us understand the effects of what we're testing. It's kept separate to make sure that changes we make don't mess up our results. This way, we can be more certain about what's really causing things to happen.

## Example

Imagine you have a garden and you want to see if a new type of fertilizer makes your plants grow taller. To find out, you decide to do an experiment.

In your experiment, you have two groups of plants. One group gets the new fertilizer, and the other group doesn't get any fertilizer at all. The group that doesn't get any fertilizer is called the "control group."

Now, think of the control group as the standard or normal group. Since they don't get the new fertilizer, you can compare how the plants in this group grow naturally without any special treatment.

By having a control group, you can see if the changes in the group that got the new fertilizer are because of the fertilizer itself or if it's just how plants naturally grow. It helps scientists make sure that any differences they see are really because of what they're testing and not just random variations. So, the control group is like the baseline that helps us understand if something new really makes a difference.

## Types

There are two types of control groups: _positive_ and _negative_.
The terms "positive control group" and "negative control group" refer to two different types of control groups used in experiments.

### Negative control group

This group is not expected to show any significant response or effect.
It helps to ensure that the experimental setup is not causing unexpected changes on its own.
It provides a baseline to compare with the experimental group, helping researchers confirm that any observed effects are due to the specific treatment being tested.
Example: In a medicine test, a negative control group might receive a placebo (a fake treatment with no active ingredients). If the placebo group shows no improvement, it suggests that any improvement in the actual treatment group is likely due to the treatment itself and not just the act of receiving any treatment.

### Positive control group

This group is expected to show a known and significant response.
It helps to
validate that the experimental setup is capable of producing the expected effects.
It serves as a comparison to the experimental group, indicating whether the experimental treatment is performing as expected.

### Examples

In a medicine test, a positive control group might receive a well-established and effective medication. If this group responds positively, it ensures that the experimental setup is capable of detecting a treatment effect. It also provides a benchmark to compare the effectiveness of the new treatment.

## Summary

In summary, the terms "positive" and "negative" refer to the expected outcomes in these control groups. "Negative" means no significant effect is expected, while "positive" means a known and significant effect is anticipated. Both types of control groups help ensure the reliability and validity of experimental results.

Abies amabilis

**Abies amabilis,** or **Pacific silver fir** is a large evergreen conifer that grows up to 30–45 meters tall and has a trunk diameter of up to 1.2 m. Its bark is light grey, thin, and covered with resin blisters, while older trees darken and develop scales and furrows. The leaves are needle-like, flattened, and have a spiral leaf arrangement. The shoots are orange-red with dense velvety pubescence, and the cones are 9–17 cm long and 4–6 cm broad, dark purple before maturity. The winged seeds are released when the cones disintegrate at maturity about 6–7 months after pollination.

The tree can live to over 400 years old and is closely related to Maries' fir A. mariesii from Japan. It is native to the Pacific Northwest of North America, occurring in the Pacific Coast Ranges and the Cascade Range from the extreme southeast of Alaska, through western British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, to the extreme northwest of California. It grows from sea level to 1,000 m in the north and 610–2,000 m in the south.

Pacific silver fir is found in temperate rainforests with high precipitation and cool, humid summers, growing in dense stands and prospering in shade and snow. Common associate trees include western hemlock, Douglas-fir, and California buckeye. Although its thin bark makes it susceptible to fire, slow-growing saplings succeed less shade-tolerant species.

Indigenous Nations, including the Nuxalk, Haisla, and Kitasoo Nations, used Abies amabilis or Silver Fir for medicinal purposes and entered into nourishing relationships with this plant. Seeds were not brought to England for cultivation until the 19th century, with David Douglas responsible for transporting seed abroad in 1825. The soft and not very strong wood of Pacific silver fir was used for paper making, packing crates, and other cheap construction work.
IslamQA.info

**Islam Q&A** is an Islamic website that offers answers about the Salafi creed using Quran and Hadith approved by its founder and current leader Muhammad Al-Munajjid.

## History

The website was one of the first websites to offer Islamic rulings, if not the first. The launch of the website in 1997 by Muhammad Al-Munajjid led the beginning of an attempt to answer question according to the Sunni views of the Quran and Hadith. The website says that "All questions and answers on this site have been prepared, approved, revised, edited, amended or annotated by Shaykh Muhammad Saalih al-Munajjid, the supervisor of this site."

## Contents

The website is available in 16 different languages which are:

English

العربية

اُردُو

हिन्दी

Türkçe

Deutsch

বাংলা

漢語

Pусский

Français

Español

The website provides religious rulings on basic principles of faith, etiquette, morals, history, and poltics.

The website's goal is to be an encyclopedia about Islam.

## Controversy in Saudi Arabia

The website was banned in Saudi Arabia as it was issuing religious rulings independently. In Saudi Arabia, the kingdom's Council of Senior Scholars is the only group that can issue religious rulings. The council was given this exclusive permission in a royal proclamation in August 2010 (restrictions were in place since 2005, but they were usually unenforced); which was seen as "the latest example of how the state is working to assert its primacy over the country’s religious establishment."

Red alder

_Alnus rubra_, or red alder, is a deciduous broadleaf tree native to western North America. It is the largest species of alder in North America and one of the largest in the world. It can reach heights of 20 to 30 meters.

The male flowers are dangling reddish catkins, while female flowers occur in clusters of 4 to 6 (8). They develop into small, woody, cone-like oval dry fruit.

The seeds develop between the woody bracts of the 'cones' and are shed in late autumn and winter. Red alder seeds have a membranous winged margin that allows long-distance dispersal. The species can live up to 60 years before being seriously afflicted by heart rot.

The name "red alder" comes from the bright rusty red color in bruised or scraped bark. It grows from Southeast Alaska to central coastal California, mostly within about 200 kilometers of the Pacific coast. In moist forest areas, it covers former areas of burns or clearcuts, often preventing the growth of conifers.

The tree hosts the nitrogen-fixing actinomycete _Frankia_ in nodules on roots. This helps it grow in nitrogen-poor soils and so makes it an important early colonizer of disturbed forests and river areas. Alder leaves, shed in the fall, decay readily to form a nitrogen-enriched humus.

Randai

**Randai** (Jawi: رنداي) is a traditional theater show of the Minangkabau people in West Sumatra, Indonesia. It includes music, singing, dance, drama, and the martial art of silat. Usually, Randai is performed during special events and festivals, like Eid al-fitr, with long stories that go on for many nights. The performances are done in a circle to make everyone feel equal and connected.

Randai combines martial arts moves, songs, and dramatic scenes, often using Minangkabau stories and legends for its stories. Leading the performance is a person called the _panggoreh_, who guides the moves and sets the pace with vocal cues called dendang or Gurindam. This makes sure that the Randai goes smoothly and in rhythm. Since a Randai story can last from 1 to 5 hours or more, if the panggoreh gets tired, someone else might take over.

## Names

In West Sumatra, there are different names for randai depending on the story, main character, and where it comes from. One known name is _Randai Maalah Kapa Tujuah_, which comes from Harau district in Limapuluh Kota Regency. The story is about Anggun Nan Tungga Magek Si Jabang and focuses on a hero. This randai lasts for 4-5 hours and involves fewer than 15 male and female performers. It's usually performed at night in a large open area for the public. Traditional musical instruments like talempong, rice stem pupuik, rebab, bansi, and saluang accompany the performance.

## History

Randai has been a part of Minangkabau culture for a long time. It's believed to have started in Pariangan, Tanah Datar when locals caught a deer from the sea. In Minangkabau society, groups perform Randai and tell stories like _Cindua Mato_, _Malin Deman_, and others.

At first, Randai was a game played by young people in the surau yard at night. Now, it's performed at weddings, parties, Islamic festivals and other events to entertain people. Only men played both male and female characters before, but since the 1960s, women have also joined in.

Some say Randai was first done by a silat school in Parimanan. The word _"Randai"_ might come from "handai," meaning relaxed conversation, or from the Arabic word _"Rayan-Li-dai"_.

Initially, Randai told stories through poetry and dance based on silat movements. Later, it included characters and dialogue like plays.

Randai faced challenges during the Japanese occupation but came back after independence. However, it went down during the New Order era. Today, according to M. Dahrizal Katik Tuo, an expert and conservationist of Randai, there are about 300 Randai performances in West Sumatra.

Horse trading

**Horse trading** is the buying and selling of horses, also called "horse dealing".

## The phrase "Horse trading"

It is sometimes not easy to judge the merits of a horse on offer. That is why some horse traders have duped their customers.
For this reason the term horse trading is now often used to describe difficult negotiations in which things are not always entirely honest.

## Horse dealing

The price for a three-year-old horse includes the cost of raising the horse for three years, the cost of keeping the mare for at least one year, the stud fee and other costs. A responsibly bred young horse costs a lot, even if it is just for leisure. A horse's suitability for a task depends on factors like breed, age, sex, health, and character. Other factors are the quality of the gaits, talent for jumping, speed, endurance, or strength in working horses. The horse's training level and background are important.

You can buy a horse directly from the breeder. Many horses are purchased through classified ads, at an auction  or at a horse market. There are also horse traders.
Young horses are often sold when they are weaned from their mothers, when they are one year old, or when they are three years old.

When you buy a horse, you should have a purchase agreement. You can buy a horse with a handshake even without a purchase agreement. However, there are often misunderstandings. If you buy a horse, you should also consult a veterinarian.

## Tea Horse Road

The ancient Tea Horse Road was a network of caravan paths going  through the mountains of Sichuan, Yunnan and Tibet in Southwest China. This was also a tea trade route.
Many old hiking trails, bridges, way stations, market towns, palaces, rest areas, shrines and temples can still be seen along the route.
Polypedates pseudocruciger

The **false hourglass tree frog** or **yellow tree frog** (_Polypedates pseudocruciger_) is a frog.  It lives in India in the Western Ghat mountains.  People have seen it between 200 and 950 meters above sea level.

This frog lives in trees and on the lower plants. It lives in pine-needle tree forests not too high above sea level, in swamps, and in grassy forests. The female frog lays eggs on leaves over ponds that dry up for part of the year. When the eggs hatch, the tadpoles fall into the water.

Scientists believe this frog is not in danger of dying out because it lives in such a large place, but they believe people cutting down its forests may harm it.
