Bromeliad

Bromeliads are a family of tropical plants which includes the pineapple and several colourful houseplants. They are nearly all from Latin America and the Caribbean islands, except for Spanish moss from the southern United States, and a single kind from Africa.
Well-known kinds of bromeliad
Pineapples (Latin name: Ananas). See Pineapple.
Air plants (Latin name: Tillandsia) are very curious because they do not need any roots to stay alive. Instead they soak up moisture from the air around them through tiny, silvery scales on their leaves. They have so many of these scales that the whole plant can look grey. In the wild they grow on tree banches in rainy and misty areas. In the Caribbean there is a kind that grows on telephone wires!
Urn plants (Latin name: Aechmea) are easy to keep. They grow to about 60 cm across, but because the stiff, green-and-grey leaves have spiny edges, they need to be out of the way. Urn plants got their name because they have a hole in the middle made by the ring-shaped arrangement of their leaves. This central urn fills up with rainwater in the wild and is often home to insects and frogs. Its flowers are held high on a single stem, and protected by a globe of small, pink leaves which lasts for several months.
Vriesias (Latin names: Vriesia and Guzmania) are like urn plants, but they have no spines and their leaves are softer. They are often sold in flower shops (and sometimes in supermarkets) and are very easy to look after. Their flowers grow on a single stem, protected by flattened, colourful leaves. It is better not to fill the central space with water, as these soft-leaved plants might rot. instead their soil should be watered.
Spanish moss
Spanish moss (Latin name: Tillandsia usneoides) is a grey plant found hanging from trees in the swamps of the southern United States, especially in Louisiana but as far east as coastal Virginia. To the south it spreads as far as Chile and Argentina. It gained its current name from Spanish and French colonisers in the Gulf of Mexico. The French called it Barbe Espagnole ("Spanish beard") to insult their rivals, and the Spanish in turn called it Cabello frances ("French hair"). Today "Spanish moss" survives as a mild version of the French taunt, although some call the plant "Graybeard".
Other kinds of bromeliads
Bromelia, the plant which gives its name to the family, is the only other bromeliad with edible fruit. Its berries taste a bit like pineapple, but are less tasty, and there are not very many on each plant.
Fascicularia is the only bromeliad that can be grown in frosty areas. It is not killed by frost if it is kept dry in the winter.
Pitcairnia is the only wild bromeliad outside the Americas. One species, Pitcairnia feliciana, was discoved living in West Africa. It is probably descended from seeds carried by migrating birds.
Puya is the largest bromeliad. It can grow up to nine metres tall. It lives in the Andes mountains, and is sometimes eaten by bears for its nectar. In Chile the young leaves of some puyas are eaten in salads.

The Correlation between Relatives on the Supposition of Mendelian Inheritance

The Correlation between Relatives on the Supposition of Mendelian Inheritance is a science paper. Ronald Fisher wrote it in 1918. The paper was in a book named Transactions of the Royal Society of Edinburgh. In the paper, Fisher talked about how some traits in people and animals can be passed from parents to children through genes. This is called Mendelian inheritance. He also used a new math word in the paper: variance. Variance is a way to measure how different numbers are from each other.
In 1900, scientists rediscovered Mendelian inheritance. But, there was a debate about how it worked. Some scientists, like Karl Pearson, believed in Charles Darwin's idea. Darwin said small changes in creatures are important for evolution. Others, like William Bateson, believed big changes were more important. Fisher believed small changes could be passed on through genes. He wrote about this in 1911 when he was a student. He showed that this is true in the paper he wrote in 1918.
Fisher talked about variance. He said it is the "square" of another math term, the standard deviation. This helps understand how different numbers are spread out. Fisher also talked about how people have different traits, like height or eye color.

Chemical change

A chemical change (chemical reaction) is a change of materials into other materials with different properties.
Chemical changes occur when a substance combines with another to form a new substance, or, chemical decomposition into two or more different substances. These processes are called chemical reactions.
Burning of wood is a chemical change as new substances which cannot be changed back (e.g. carbon dioxide) are formed. For example, if wood is burned in a fireplace, there is not wood anymore but ash. Other examples include burning of a candle, rusting of iron, baking a cake, etc. Special details that describe how a chemical change takes place are called chemical properties.
Compare: physical change. The opposite of a chemical change is a physical change. Physical changes are a change in which no new substances are formed, and the substance which is changed is the same. For instance, if a stick of wood is broken, there is still a stick of wood; it is just broken.
More examples include changes of shape, changes of states, passing electricity through a copper wire, breaking of wood, shattering of glass, pouring of water, etc. Special details which do not change in a substance without new substances being formed are called physical properties.

Okinawan language

The Okinawan language (Chong Nawa Kou , Uchinaguchi) is a Ryukyuan language that is spoken in the Okinawa Islands of Japan.
Most linguists say that it branched off from Proto-Japonic, which is the ancestor of Japanese and the Ryukyuan languages. The Japanese government says Okinawan is a dialect of Japanese because of politics.
History
When a group of people called the Yayoi came into the Ryukyu Islands, they brought over a language called Proto-Japonic. This language over time turned into the modern Ryukyuan languages. Proto-Japonic was also spoken in mainland Japan, which turned into Japanese, meaning Japanese and the Ryukyuan languages are related/have the same origin.
Okinawan and other Ryukyuan languages were discriminated by Japan during the Meiji period, making the number of speakers go down. Before that, Okinawan was the official language of the Ryukyu Kingdom.
Classification
Okinawan belongs to the Ryukyuan languages. It is in the northern group with both Kunigami and Amami. Sometimes, Kunigami is listed as a dialect of Okinawan but that view is rare.
Speakers
Most older Okinawans speak Okinawan while younger Okinawans speak Japanese. This is why UNESCO lists Okinawan and the other Ryukyuan languages as "endangered", meaning it's possible for the language to die out in the future.
Sound Changes (Japanese vs. Okinawan)
There are many sound changes between Japanese (Standard) and Okinawan (Shuri-Naha variety):
Japanese "o" - Okinawan "u" (Okinawa = Uchinaa)
Japanese "k" - Okinawan "ch" (Okinawa = Uchinaa)
Japanese "mi" - Okinawan "nn" (minato = nnatu)
Similar sound changes are in other Ryukyuan languages. Kunigami also uses "u" instead of Japanese "o".
