Shed

A shed is typically a simple , single-storey roofed structure in a back garden or on an allotment that is used for storage , hobbies , or as a workshop .

Sheds used on farms or in industry can be large structures . The main types of shed construction are metal sheathing over a metal frame , plastic sheathing and frame , all-wood construction -LRB- the roof may be asphalt shingled or sheathed in tin -RRB- , and vinyl-sided sheds built over a wooden frame .

Serbia is situated along a number of cultural , geographic , and climatic crossroads . It borders Hungary to the north ; Romania and Bulgaria to the east ; Macedonia to the south ; and Croatia , Bosnia and Herzegovina , Montenegro to the southwest . It claims a border with Albania through the disputed territory of Kosovo . Serbia numbers around 7 million residents ; its capital , Belgrade , ranks among the oldest and largest cities in Southeast Europe . Following the Slavic migrations to the Balkans postdating the 6th century , Serbs established several states in the early Middle Ages .

Following disastrous casualties in World War I , and the subsequent unification of the former Habsburg crownland of Vojvodina -LRB- and other territories -RRB- with Serbia , the country co-founded Yugoslavia with other South Slavic peoples , which would exist in various political formations until the Yugoslav Wars of the 1990s . During the breakup of Yugoslavia , Serbia formed a union with Montenegro which dissolved peacefully in 2006 , when Serbia reestablished its independence . In 2008 the parliament of the province of Kosovo unilaterally declared independence , with mixed responses from the international community . Serbia is a member of numerous organizations such as the UN , CoE , OSCE , PfP , BSEC , and CEFTA .

Seattle

Seattle -LRB- -LSB- siˈætəl -RSB- -RRB- is a seaport city on the west coast of the United States and the seat of King County , Washington . With an estimated 704,352 residents , Seattle is the largest city in both the state of Washington and the Pacific Northwest region of North America . In July 2013 , it was the fastest-growing major city in the United States and remained in the Top 5 in May 2015 with an annual growth rate of 2.1 % . In July 2016 , Seattle was again the fastest-growing major U.S. city , with a 3.1 % annual growth rate . The city is situated on an isthmus between Puget Sound -LRB- an inlet of the Pacific Ocean -RRB- and Lake Washington , about 100 mi south of the Canada -- United States border . A major gateway for trade with Asia , Seattle is the fourth-largest port in North America in terms of container handling . The Seattle area was previously inhabited by Native Americans for at least 4,000 years before the first permanent European settlers . Arthur A. Denny and his group of travelers , subsequently known as the Denny Party , arrived from Illinois via Portland , Oregon , on the schooner Exact at Alki Point on November 13 , 1851 . The settlement was moved to the eastern shore of Elliott Bay and named `` Seattle '' in 1852 , after Chief Si'ahl of the local Duwamish and Suquamish tribes . Logging was Seattle 's first major industry , but by the late-19th century , the city had become a commercial and shipbuilding center as a gateway to Alaska during the Klondike Gold Rush . Growth after World War II was partially due to the local Boeing company , which established Seattle as a center for aircraft manufacturing . The Seattle area developed as a technology center beginning in the 1980s , with companies like Microsoft becoming established in the region . In 1994 , Internet retailer Amazon was founded in Seattle . The stream of new software , biotechnology , and Internet companies led to an economic revival , which increased the city 's population by almost 50,000 between 1990 and 2000 . Seattle has a noteworthy musical history . From 1918 to 1951 , nearly two dozen jazz nightclubs existed along Jackson Street , from the current Chinatown / International District , to the Central District . The jazz scene developed the early careers of Ray Charles , Quincy Jones , Ernestine Anderson , and others . Seattle is also the birthplace of hip-hop sensation Neema , rock musician Jimi Hendrix , origin of the bands Nirvana , Pearl Jam , Soundgarden , Alice in Chains and the alternative rock subgenre grunge .

Sikhism

Sikhism -LRB- -LSB- ˈsikᵻzəm -RSB- -RRB- , or Sikhi -LRB- ਸਿ ਖੀ , -LSB- ˈsɪkːʰiː -RSB- , from Sikh , meaning a `` disciple '' , or a `` learner '' -RRB- , is a panentheistic religion that originated in the Punjab region of the Indian subcontinent about the end of the 15th century . It is one of the youngest of the major world religions . The fundamental beliefs of Sikhism , articulated in the sacred scripture Guru Granth Sahib , include faith and meditation on the name of the one creator , unity of all humankind , engaging in selfless service , striving for social justice for the benefit and prosperity of all , and honest conduct and livelihood while living a householder 's life . Sikhism has 25-28 million adherents worldwide and is the ninth-largest religion in the world . Sikhism is based on the spiritual teachings of Guru Nanak , the first Guru , and the ten successive Sikh gurus . Guru Nanak established Kartarpur -LRB- Creator 's town -RRB- around 1520 and gathered the original core of the Sikh Panth -LRB- community -RRB- there . After the death of the tenth Guru , Guru Gobind Singh , the Sikh scripture , Guru Granth Sahib , became the literal embodiment of the eternal , impersonal Guru , where the scripture 's word serves as the spiritual guide for Sikhs . An Indian religion , Sikhism rejects claims that any particular religious tradition has a monopoly on Absolute Truth . Sikhism emphasizes simran -LRB- meditation on the words of the Guru Granth Sahib -RRB- , that can be expressed musically through kirtan or internally through Nam Japo -LRB- repeat God 's name -RRB- as a means to feel God 's presence , and to have control over the `` Five Thieves '' -LRB- lust , rage , greed , attachment and conceit -RRB- . Hand in hand , secular life is considered to be intertwined with the spiritual life . Guru Nanak taught that living an `` active , creative , and practical life '' of `` truthfulness , fidelity , self-control and purity '' is above the metaphysical truth , and that the ideal man is one who `` establishes union with God , knows His Will , and carries out that Will '' . Guru Hargobind , the sixth Sikh Guru , established the political/temporal -LRB- Miri -RRB- and spiritual -LRB- Piri -RRB- realms to be mutually coexistent . The development of Sikhism was influenced by the Bhakti movement , however , Sikhism was not simply an extension of the Bhakti movement . Sikhism developed while the region was being ruled by the Mughal Empire . Two of the Sikh gurus -- Guru Arjan and Guru Tegh Bahadur , after they refused to convert to Islam , were tortured and executed by the Mughal rulers . The Islamic era persecution of Sikhs triggered the founding of the Khalsa , as an order for freedom of conscience and religion . A Sikh is expected to embody the qualities of a `` Sant-Sipāhī '' a saint-soldier .

Siberia

Siberia -LRB- s -RRB- is an extensive geographical region , and by the broadest definition is also known as North Asia . Siberia has historically been a part of Russia since the 17th century . The territory of Siberia extends eastwards from the Ural Mountains to the watershed between the Pacific and Arctic drainage basins . It stretches southwards from the Arctic Ocean to the hills of north-central Kazakhstan and to the national borders of Mongolia and China . With an area of 13.1 e6km2 , Siberia accounts for 77 % of Russia 's land area , but it is home to just 40 million people -- 27 % of the country 's population . This is equivalent to an average population density of about 3 PD/sqkm -LRB- approximately equal to that of Australia -RRB- , making Siberia one of the most sparsely populated regions on Earth . If it were a country by itself , it would still be the largest country in area , but in population it would be the world 's 35th largest and Asia 's 14th largest .

Sex_and_the_City

Sex and the City is an American romantic comedy television series created by Darren Star and produced by HBO . Broadcast from 1998 until 2004 , the original run of the show had a total of 94 episodes . Throughout its six-year run , the show received contributions from various producers , writers , and directors , perhaps most significantly from Michael Patrick King . Set and filmed in New York City and based on the 1997 book of the same name by Candace Bushnell , the show follows the lives of a group of four women -- three in their mid-thirties and one in her forties -- who , despite their different natures and ever-changing sex lives , remain inseparable and confide in each other . Starring Sarah Jessica Parker -LRB- as Carrie Bradshaw -RRB- , Kim Cattrall -LRB- as Samantha Jones -RRB- , Kristin Davis -LRB- as Charlotte York -RRB- , and Cynthia Nixon -LRB- as Miranda Hobbes -RRB- , the quirky series had multiple continuing storylines that tackled relevant and modern social issues such as sexuality , safe sex , promiscuity , and femininity , while exploring the difference between friendships and romantic relationships . The deliberate omission of the better part of the early lives of the four women was the writers ' way of exploring social life -- from sex to relationships -- through each of their four very different , individual perspectives . The series received both acclaim and criticism for its subjects and characters , and is credited with helping jump-start HBO . It spawned two feature films , Sex and the City -LRB- 2008 -RRB- and its sequel Sex and the City 2 -LRB- 2010 -RRB- , and a prequel series by The CW , The Carrie Diaries . It also won seven of its 54 Emmy Award nominations , eight of its 24 Golden Globe Award nominations , and three of its 11 Screen Actors Guild Award nominations . Sex and the City still airs in syndication worldwide and has been listed on Entertainment Weeklys end-of-the-decade `` best of '' list and as one of Time magazine 's 100 Best TV Shows of All-TIME . The show placed # 5 on Entertainment Weekly `` New TV Classics '' list . In 2013 , TV Guide ranked it at # 40 on its list of the Best Series of All Time .

Seville

Seville -LRB- -LSB- səˈvɪl -RSB- Sevilla -LSB- seˈβiʎa -RSB- , -LSB- seˈβi ʝa -RSB- -RRB- is the capital and largest city of the autonomous community of Andalusia and the province of Seville , Spain . It is situated on the plain of the river Guadalquivir . The inhabitants of the city are known as sevillanos -LRB- feminine form : sevillanas -RRB- or hispalenses , after the Roman name of the city , Hispalis . Seville has a municipal population of about 703,000 , and a metropolitan population of about 1.5 million , making it the fourth-largest city in Spain and the 30th most populous municipality in the European Union . Its Old Town , with an area of 4 km ² , contains three UNESCO World Heritage Sites : the Alcázar palace complex , the Cathedral and the General Archive of the Indies . The Seville harbour , located about 80 km from the Atlantic Ocean , is the only river port in Spain . Seville is also the hottest major metropolitan area in the geographical Western Europe , with summer average high temperatures of above 35 ° C. Seville was founded as the Roman city of Hispalis . It later became known as Ishbiliya after the Muslim conquest in 712 . During the Muslim rule in Spain , Seville came under the jurisdiction of the Caliphate of Córdoba before becoming the independent Taifa of Seville ; later it was ruled by the Muslim Almoravids and the Almohads until finally being incorporated into the Christian Kingdom of Castile under Ferdinand III in 1248 . After the discovery of the Americas , Seville became one of the economic centres of the Spanish Empire as its port monopolised the trans-oceanic trade and the Casa de Contratación -LRB- House of Trade -RRB- wielded its power , opening a Golden Age of arts and literature . In 1519 , Ferdinand Magellan departed from Seville for the first circumnavigation of the Earth . Coinciding with the Baroque period of European history , the 17th century in Seville represented the most brilliant flowering of the city 's culture ; then began a gradual economic and demographic decline as silting in the Guadalquivir forced the trade monopoly to relocate to the nearby port of Cádiz . The 20th century in Seville saw the tribulations of the Spanish Civil War , decisive cultural milestones such as the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929 and Expo ' 92 , and the city 's election as the capital of the Autonomous Community of Andalusia .

Second_Punic_War

The Second Punic War , also referred to as The Hannibalic War and -LRB- by the Romans -RRB- the War Against Hannibal , lasted from 218 to 201 BC and involved combatants in the western and eastern Mediterranean . This was the second major war between Carthage and the Roman Republic and its allied Italic socii , with the crucial participation of Numidian-Berber armies and tribes on both sides . The two states fought three major wars with each other over the course of their existence . They are called the `` Punic Wars '' because Rome 's name for Carthaginians was Poeni , derived from Poenici -LRB- earlier form of Punici -RRB- , a reference to the founding of Carthage by Phoenician settlers . The war was to a considerable extent initiated by Carthage at Saguntum in Spain and is marked by Hannibal 's surprising overland journey and his costly crossing of the Alps , followed by his reinforcement by Gallic allies and crushing victories over Roman armies in the Battle of the Trebia and the ambush at Trasimene . In the following year -LRB- 216 -RRB- , Hannibal 's army defeated the Romans again , this time in southern Italy at Cannae . In consequence of these defeats , many Roman allies went over to Carthage , prolonging the war in Italy for over a decade . Against Hannibal 's skill on the battlefield , the Romans deployed the Fabian strategy . Roman forces were more capable in siege warfare than the Carthaginians and recaptured all of the major cities that had joined the enemy , as well as defeating a Carthaginian attempt to reinforce Hannibal at the Battle of the Metaurus . In the meantime , in Iberia , which served as the main source of manpower for the Carthaginian army , a second Roman expedition under Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus Major took Carthago Nova by assault and ended Carthaginian rule over Iberia in the Battle of Ilipa . The final engagement was the Battle of Zama in Africa between Scipio Africanus and Hannibal , resulting in the latter 's defeat and the imposition of harsh peace conditions on Carthage -LRB- Carthaginian peace -RRB- , which ceased to be a major power and became a Roman client-state . A sideshow of this war was the indecisive First Macedonian War in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Ionian Sea . All battles mentioned in the introduction are ranked among the most costly traditional battles of human history ; in addition , there were a few successful ambushes of armies that also ended in their annihilation .

Serial_-LRB-radio_and_television-RRB-

In television and radio programming , a serial has a continuing plot that unfolds in a sequential episode-by-episode fashion . Serials typically follow main story arcs that span entire television seasons or even the full run of the series , which distinguishes them from traditional episodic television that relies on more stand-alone episodes . Worldwide , the soap opera is the most prominent form of serial dramatic programming . Serials rely on keeping the full nature of the story hidden and revealing elements episode by episode to keep viewers tuning in to learn more . Often these shows employ recapping segments at the beginning and cliffhangers at the end of each episode . Such shows also place a demand on viewers to tune into every episode to follow the plot . The invention of recording devices such as VCRs and DVRs has made following these type of shows easier , which has resulted in increased success and popularity . Prior to the advent of DVRs , television networks shunned serials in prime time as they made broadcast programming reruns more difficult and television producers shunned them because they were tougher to go into broadcast syndication years down the road . Serials contrast with episodic television , with plots relying on a more independent stand-alone format . Procedural drama television programs are commonly episodic . In British television , the term serial is also synonymous with the American term miniseriesa short-run series with one title and plot . The finale of the serial sometimes concludes the program as a whole , for sequel serials are rarely made . Shorter serial programs known as telenovelas -LRB- and earlier , radionovelas -RRB- , originating and often produced in Spanish - and Portuguese-speaking Latin America , have become popular worldwide .

September_11_attacks

The September 11 attacks -LRB- also referred to as 9/11 -RRB- The expression `` 9/11 '' is pronounced `` nine eleven '' . The slash is not part of the pronunciation . The name is frequently used in British English as well as in American English , even though the dating conventions differ . were a series of four coordinated terrorist attacks by the Islamic terrorist group al-Qaeda on the United States on the morning of Tuesday , September 11 , 2001 . The attacks killed 2,996 people , injured over 6,000 others , and caused at least $ 10 billion in property and infrastructure damage . Four passenger airliners operated by two major U.S. passenger air carriers -LRB- United Airlines and American Airlines -RRB- -- all of which departed from airports in the northeastern United States bound for California -- were hijacked by 19 al-Qaeda terrorists . Two of the planes , American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175 , were crashed into the North and South towers , respectively , of the World Trade Center complex in New York City . Within an hour and 42 minutes , both 110-story towers collapsed , with debris and the resulting fires causing partial or complete collapse of all other buildings in the World Trade Center complex , including the 47-story 7 World Trade Center tower , as well as significant damage to ten other large surrounding structures . A third plane , American Airlines Flight 77 , was crashed into the Pentagon -LRB- the headquarters of the United States Department of Defense -RRB- in Arlington County , Virginia , leading to a partial collapse of the building 's western side . The fourth plane , United Airlines Flight 93 , initially was steered toward Washington , D.C. , but crashed into a field in Stonycreek Township near Shanksville , Pennsylvania , after its passengers tried to overcome the hijackers . It was the deadliest incident for firefighters and law enforcement officers in the history of the United States , with 343 and 72 killed respectively . Suspicion for the attack quickly fell on al-Qaeda . The United States responded to the attacks by launching the War on Terror and invading Afghanistan to depose the Taliban , which had harbored al-Qaeda . Many countries strengthened their anti-terrorism legislation and expanded the powers of law enforcement and intelligence agencies to prevent terrorist attacks . Although al-Qaeda 's leader , Osama bin Laden , initially denied any involvement , in 2004 he claimed responsibility for the attacks . Al-Qaeda and bin Laden cited U.S. support of Israel , the presence of U.S. troops in Saudi Arabia , and sanctions against Iraq as motives . Having evaded capture for almost a decade , bin Laden was located and killed by SEAL Team Six of the U.S. Navy in May 2011 . The destruction of the World Trade Center and nearby infrastructure caused serious damage to the economy of Lower Manhattan and had a significant effect on global markets , closing Wall Street until September 17 and the civilian airspace in the U.S. and Canada until September 13 . Many closings , evacuations , and cancellations followed , out of respect or fear of further attacks . Cleanup of the World Trade Center site was completed in May 2002 , and the Pentagon was repaired within a year . On November 18 , 2006 , construction of One World Trade Center began at the World Trade Center site . The building was officially opened on November 3 , 2014 . Numerous memorials have been constructed , including the National September 11 Memorial & Museum in New York City , the Pentagon Memorial in Arlington County , Virginia , and the Flight 93 National Memorial in a field in Stonycreek Township near Shanksville , Pennsylvania .

Silicon_Valley

Silicon Valley is a nickname for the southern portion of the San Francisco Bay Area , in the northern part of the U.S. state of California . The `` valley '' in its name refers to the Santa Clara Valley in Santa Clara County , which includes the city of San Jose and surrounding cities and towns , where the region has been traditionally centered . The region has expanded to include the southern half of the San Francisco Peninsula in San Mateo County , and southern portions of the East Bay in Alameda County . The word `` silicon '' originally referred to the large number of silicon chip innovators and manufacturers in the region , but the area is now the home to many of the world 's largest high-tech corporations , including the headquarters of 39 businesses in the Fortune 1000 , and thousands of startup companies . Silicon Valley also accounts for one-third of all of the venture capital investment in the United States , which has helped it to become a leading hub and startup ecosystem for high-tech innovation and scientific development . It was in the Valley that the silicon-based integrated circuit , the microprocessor , and the microcomputer , among other key technologies , were developed . As of 2013 , the region employed about a quarter of a million information technology workers . As more high-tech companies were established across the Santa Clara Valley , and then north towards the Bay Area 's two other major cities , San Francisco and Oakland , the `` Silicon Valley '' name eventually came to refer to all high-tech businesses in the region . The term is now generally used as a synecdoche for the American high-technology economic sector . The name also became a global synonym for leading high-tech research and enterprises , and thus inspired similar named locations , as well as research parks and technology centers with a comparable structure all around the world .

Shark

Sharks are a group of elasmobranch fish characterized by a cartilaginous skeleton , five to seven gill slits on the sides of the head , and pectoral fins that are not fused to the head . Modern sharks are classified within the clade Selachimorpha -LRB- or Selachii -RRB- and are the sister group to the rays . However , the term `` shark '' has also been used for extinct members of the subclass Elasmobranchii outside the Selachimorpha , such as Cladoselache and Xenacanthus , as well as other Chondrichthyes such as the holocephalid eugenedontidans . Under this broader definition , the earliest known sharks date back to more than 420 million years ago . Acanthodians are often referred to as `` spiny sharks '' ; though they are not part of Chondrichthyes proper , they are a paraphyletic assemblage leading to cartilaginous fish as a whole . Since then , sharks have diversified into over 500 species . They range in size from the small dwarf lanternshark -LRB- Etmopterus perryi -RRB- , a deep sea species of only 17 cm in length , to the whale shark -LRB- Rhincodon typus -RRB- , the largest fish in the world , which reaches approximately 12 m in length . Sharks are found in all seas and are common to depths of 2000 m .

Sierra Leone is a constitutional republic with a directly elected president and a unicameral legislature . Sierra Leone became an independent Nation on 27 April 1961 from Britain , led by Sir Milton Margai , who was elected by landslide as the first prime minister of the new nation under parliamentary government . The current constitution of Sierra Leone was adopted in 1991 during the presidency of Joseph Saidu Momoh , though it has been amended several times . Since independence to present , Sierra Leone politics has been dominated by two major political parties ; the Sierra Leone People 's party -LRB- SLPP -RRB- and the All People 's Congress -LRB- APC -RRB- . The current president of SIerra Leone is Ernest Bai Koroma , a member of the APC party , who was elected in 2007 after defeating the ruling SLPP candidate , and he won reelection for his final term as president in 2012 . From 1991 to 2002 , the Sierra Leone civil war was fought and devastated the country . This proxy war left more than 50,000 people dead , much of the country 's infrastructure destroyed , and over two million people displaced as refugees in neighbouring countries . In January 2002 , then Sierra Leone 's president Ahmad Tejan Kabbah , fulfilled his campaign promise by ending the civil war , with help by the British Government , ECOWAS and the United Nations . More recently , the 2014 Ebola outbreak overburdened the weak healthcare infrastructure , leading to more deaths from medical neglect than Ebola itself . It created a humanitarian crisis situation and a negative spiral of weaker economic growth . The country has an extremely low life expectancy at 57.8 years . About sixteen ethnic groups inhabit Sierra Leone , each with its own language and customs . The two largest and most influential are the Temne and the Mende people . The Temne are predominantly found in the north of the country , while the Mende are predominant in the south-east . Sierra Leone has a significant minority of the Krio people , who are descendants of freed African American and West Indian slaves . Although English is the official language spoken at schools and government administration , the Krio language is the most widely spoken language across Sierra Leone and is spoken by 97 % of the country 's population . The Krio language unites all the different ethnic groups in the country , especially in their trade and social interaction with each other . Sierra Leone is a predominantly secular Muslim majority country , with the overall muslim population at 77 % of the population , though with an influential Christian minority at about 22 % . Sierra Leone is regarded as one of the most religiously tolerant nations in the world . Muslims and Christians collaborate and interact with each other very peacefully . Religious violence is very rare in the country . The major Christian and Muslim holidays are officially national holidays including Christmas and Eid Al Fitr . In politics , the overwhelming majority of Sierra Leoneans vote for a candidate without regard to whether the candidate is a Muslim or a Christian . Sierra Leone has relied on mining , especially diamonds , for its economic base . It is also among the largest producers of titanium and bauxite , a major producer of gold , and has one of the world 's largest deposits of rutile . Sierra Leone is home to the third-largest natural harbour in the world . Despite exploitation of this natural wealth , 70 % of its people live in poverty . Sierra Leone is a member of many international organisations , including the United Nations , the African Union , the Economic Community of West African States -LRB- ECOWAS -RRB- , the Mano River Union , the Commonwealth of Nations , the African Development Bank , and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation .

Shrimp

The term shrimp is used to refer to some decapod crustaceans , although the exact animals covered can vary . Used broadly , it may cover any of the groups with elongated bodies and a primarily swimming mode of locomotion -- most commonly Caridea and Dendrobranchiata . In some fields , however , the term is used more narrowly , and may be restricted to Caridea , to smaller species of either group , or to only the marine species . Under the broader definition , shrimp may be synonymous with prawn , covering stalk-eyed swimming crustaceans with long narrow muscular tails -LRB- abdomens -RRB- , long whiskers -LRB- antennae -RRB- , and slender legs . Any small crustacean which resembles a shrimp tends to be called one . They swim forward by paddling with swimmerets on the underside of their abdomens , although their escape response is typically repeated flicks with the tail driving them backwards very quickly . Crabs and lobsters have strong walking legs , whereas shrimp have thin fragile legs which they use primarily for perching . Shrimp are widespread and abundant . There are thousands of species adapted to a wide range of habitats . They can be found feeding near the seafloor on most coasts and estuaries , as well as in rivers and lakes . To escape predators , some species flip off the seafloor and dive into the sediment . They usually live from one to seven years . Shrimp are often solitary , though they can form large schools during the spawning season . They play important roles in the food chain and are an important food source for larger animals ranging from fish to whales . The muscular tails of many shrimp are edible to humans , and they are widely caught and farmed for human consumption . Commercial shrimp species support an industry worth 50 billion dollars a year , and in 2010 the total commercial production of shrimp was nearly 7 million tonnes . Shrimp farming became more prevalent during the 1980s , particularly in China , and by 2007 the harvest from shrimp farms exceeded the capture of wild shrimp . There are significant issues with excessive bycatch when shrimp are captured in the wild , and with pollution damage done to estuaries when they are used to support shrimp farming . Many shrimp species are small as the term shrimp suggests , about 2 cm long , but some shrimp exceed 25 cm . Larger shrimp are more likely to be targeted commercially , and are often referred to as prawns , particularly in Britain .

Seppuku

Seppuku -LRB- 切腹 , `` cutting -LSB- the -RSB- abdomen/belly '' , formal on reading of original Kanji -RRB- , sometimes metathesized as harakiri -LRB- 腹切り , `` abdomen/belly cutting '' -RRB- which is a native Japanese kun reading , is a form of Japanese ritual suicide by disembowelment .

Somewhere_-LRB-film-RRB-

Somewhere is a 2010 American drama film written and directed by Sofia Coppola . The film follows Johnny Marco -LRB- played by Stephen Dorff -RRB- , a newly famous actor , as he recuperates from a minor injury at the Chateau Marmont , a well-known Hollywood retreat . Despite money , fame and professional success , Marco is trapped in an existential crisis and has an emotionally empty daily life . When his ex-wife suffers an unexplained breakdown and goes away , she leaves Cleo -LRB- Elle Fanning -RRB- , their 11-year-old daughter , in his care . They spend time together and her presence helps Marco mature and accept adult responsibility . The film explores ennui among Hollywood stars , the father -- daughter relationship and offers an oblique comedy of show business , particularly Hollywood film-making and the life of a `` star '' . Somewhere premiered at the 67th Venice International Film Festival where it received the Golden Lion award for best picture . Critical opinion was mildly positive . Reviewers praised the patience of the film 's visual style and its empathy for a handful of characters , but some found Somewhere to be too repetitive of themes in Coppola 's previous work , or did not sympathize with the protagonist because of his relative success . It was released to theaters in the United Kingdom and Ireland on December 10 , 2010 , and in the United States on December 22 , 2010 .

Sol-Angel_and_the_Hadley_St._Dreams

Sol-Angel and the Hadley St. Dreams is the second studio album by American R&B singer Solange Knowles . It was released August 26 , 2008 , by Geffen Records . Recording from 2005 to 2008 , Knowles was heavily influenced by the `` Motown Sound '' of the 1960s and 1970s during the album 's conception , prompting her to work with several vintage-style producers and songwriters such as Jack Splash , CeeLo Green , Mark Ronson , and former Holland -- Dozier -- Holland composer Lamont Dozier . Exploring the lyrical theme of independence , it also incorporates elements of downbeat and electronic music that she had familiarized herself with on previous trips to Europe .

Space_opera

Space opera is a subgenre of science fiction that emphasizes space warfare , melodramatic adventure , interplanetary battles , as well as chivalric romance , and often risk-taking . Set mainly or entirely in outer space , it usually involves conflict between opponents possessing advanced abilities , futuristic weapons , and other sophisticated technology . The term has no relation to music but is instead a play on the terms `` soap opera '' and `` horse opera '' , the latter of which was coined during the 1930s to indicate clichéd and formulaic Western movies . Space operas emerged in the 1930s and they continue to be produced in literature , film , comics , and video games . Notable space opera novels include the Foundation series -LRB- 1942 -- 1999 -RRB- by Isaac Asimov , the Lensman series -LRB- 1948-1954 -RRB- by E. E. Smith and the Ender 's Game series -LRB- 1985 -- present -RRB- by Orson Scott Card . An early notable space opera film was Flash Gordon -LRB- 1936 -- present -RRB- created by Alex Raymond . In the late 1970s , the Star Wars franchise -LRB- 1977 -- present -RRB- created by George Lucas brought a great deal of attention to the subgenre .

South_America

South America is a continent located in the western hemisphere , mostly in the southern hemisphere , with a relatively small portion in the northern hemisphere . It may also be considered a subcontinent of the Americas , which is the model used in nations that speak Romance languages . The reference to South America instead of other regions -LRB- like Latin America or the Southern Cone -RRB- has increased in the last decades due to changing geopolitical dynamics -LRB- in particular , the rise of Brazil -RRB- . It is bordered on the west by the Pacific Ocean and on the north and east by the Atlantic Ocean ; North America and the Caribbean Sea lie to the northwest . It includes twelve sovereign states -LRB- Argentina , Bolivia , Brazil , Chile , Colombia , Ecuador , Guyana , Paraguay , Peru , Suriname , Uruguay , and Venezuela -RRB- , a part of France -LRB- French Guiana -RRB- , and a non-sovereign area -LRB- the Falkland Islands , a British Overseas Territory though this is disputed by Argentina -RRB- . In addition to this , the ABC islands of the Kingdom of the Netherlands , Trinidad and Tobago , and Panama may also be considered part of South America . South America has an area of 17,840,000 square kilometers -LRB- 6,890,000 sq mi -RRB- . Its population has been estimated at more than 371,090,000 . South America ranks fourth in area -LRB- after Asia , Africa , and North America -RRB- and fifth in population -LRB- after Asia , Africa , Europe , and North America -RRB- . Brazil is by far the most populous South American country , with more than half of the continent 's population , followed by Colombia , Argentina , Venezuela and Peru . In recent decades Brazil has also concentrated half of the region 's GDP and has become a first regional power . Most of the population lives near the continent 's western or eastern coasts while the interior and the far south are sparsely populated . The geography of western South America is dominated by the Andes mountains ; in contrast , the eastern part contains both highland regions and large lowlands where rivers such as the Amazon , Orinoco , and Paraná flow . Most of the continent lies in the tropics . The continent 's cultural and ethnic outlook has its origin with the interaction of indigenous peoples with European conquerors and immigrants and , more locally , with African slaves . Given a long history of colonialism , the overwhelming majority of South Americans speak Portuguese or Spanish , and societies and states commonly reflect Western traditions .

Square_Deal

The Square Deal was President Theodore Roosevelt 's domestic program . He explained in 1910 : When I say that I am for the square deal , I mean not merely that I stand for fair play under the present rules of the game , but that I stand for having those rules changed so as to work for a more substantial equality of opportunity and of reward for equally good service . Roosevelt reflected three basic goals : conservation of natural resources , control of corporations , and consumer protection . These three demands are often referred to as the `` three C 's '' of Roosevelt 's Square Deal . Thus , it aimed at helping middle class citizens and involved attacking plutocracy and bad trusts while at the same time protecting business from the most extreme demands of organized labor . A progressive Republican , Roosevelt believed in government action to mitigate social evils , and as president he in 1908 denounced `` the representatives of predatory wealth '' as guilty of `` all forms of iniquity from the oppression of wage workers to unfair and unwholesome methods of crushing competition , and to defrauding the public by stock-jobbing and the manipulation of securities . '' During his second term , Roosevelt tried to extend his Square Deal further , but was blocked by conservative Republicans in Congress . Roosevelt distrusted federal and state courts .

Some Like It Hot opened to largely positive reviews and is today considered to be one of the greatest film comedies of all time . It was voted as the top comedy film by the American Film Institute on their list on AFI 's 100 Years ... 100 Laughs poll in 2000 . The film is also notable for featuring cross dressing , and for playing with the idea of homosexuality , which led to it being produced without approval from the Motion Picture Production Code .

South_Aegean_Volcanic_Arc

The South Aegean Volcanic Arc is a chain of volcanic islands in the South Aegean Sea formed by plate tectonics as a consequence of the subduction of the African tectonic plate beneath the Eurasian plate . The southern Aegean is one of the most rapidly deforming regions of the Himalayan-Alpine mountain belt . The active portion of the South Aegean Arc comprises a number of dormant and historically active volcanoes , including Aegina , Methana , Milos , Santorini and Kolumbo , and Kos , Nisyros and Yali . Of these , only Santorini , Kolumbo and Nisyros have either erupted or shown any significant evidence of unrest during the past 100 years . One of the most noted volcanic eruptions from this arc occurred on the island of Santorini in the second millennium BC ; during this eruption the Bronze Age city of Akrotiri was destroyed , with archaeological remains becoming well preserved under the volcanic ash .

South_Africa

South Africa , officially the Republic of South Africa -LRB- RSA -RRB- , is the southernmost country in Africa . It is bounded on the south by 2,798 km of coastline of Southern Africa stretching along the South Atlantic and Indian Oceans , on the north by the neighbouring countries of Namibia , Botswana and Zimbabwe , and on the east and northeast by Mozambique and Swaziland , and surrounding the kingdom of Lesotho . South Africa is the 25th-largest country in the world by land area , and with close to 56 million people , is the world 's 24th-most populous nation . It is the southernmost country on the mainland of the Old World or the Eastern Hemisphere . About 80 percent of South Africans are of Sub-Saharan African ancestry , divided among a variety of ethnic groups speaking different Bantu languages , nine of which have official status . The remaining population consists of Africa 's largest communities of European -LRB- white -RRB- , Asian -LRB- Indian -RRB- , and multiracial -LRB- coloured -RRB- ancestry . South Africa is a multiethnic society encompassing a wide variety of cultures , languages , and religions . Its pluralistic makeup is reflected in the constitution 's recognition of 11 official languages , which is among the highest number of any country in the world . Two of these languages are of European origin : Afrikaans developed from Dutch and serves as the first language of most white and coloured South Africans ; English reflects the legacy of British colonialism , and is commonly used in public and commercial life , though it is fourth-ranked as a spoken first language . The country is one of the few in Africa never to have had a coup d'état , and regular elections have been held for almost a century . However , the vast majority of black South Africans were not enfranchised until 1994 . During the 20th century , the black majority sought to recover its rights from the dominant white minority , with this struggle playing a large role in the country 's recent history and politics . The National Party imposed apartheid in 1948 , institutionalising previous racial segregation . After a long and sometimes violent struggle by the African National Congress and other anti-apartheid activists both inside and outside the country , discriminatory laws began to be repealed or abolished from 1990 onwards . Since 1994 , all ethnic and linguistic groups have held political representation in the country 's democracy , which comprises a parliamentary republic and nine provinces . South Africa is often referred to as the `` Rainbow Nation '' to describe the country 's multicultural diversity , especially in the wake of apartheid . The World Bank classifies South Africa as an upper-middle-income economy , and a newly industrialised country . Its economy is the second-largest in Africa , and the 34th-largest in the world . In terms of purchasing power parity , South Africa has the seventh-highest per capita income in Africa . However , poverty and inequality remain widespread , with about a quarter of the population unemployed and living on less than US$ 1.25 a day . Nevertheless , South Africa has been identified as a middle power in international affairs , and maintains significant regional influence .

Sparta

Sparta -LRB- Doric Greek : Σπάρτα , Spártā Attic Greek : Σπάρτη , Spártē -RRB- was a prominent city-state in ancient Greece . In antiquity the city-state was known as Lacedaemon -LRB- Λακεδαίμων , Lakedaímōn -RRB- , while the name Sparta referred to its main settlement on the banks of the Eurotas River in Laconia , in south-eastern Peloponnese . Around 650 BC , it rose to become the dominant military land-power in ancient Greece . Given its military pre-eminence , Sparta was recognized as the overall leader of the combined Greek forces during the Greco-Persian Wars . Between 431 and 404 BC , Sparta was the principal enemy of Athens during the Peloponnesian War , from which it emerged victorious , though at a great cost of lives lost . Sparta 's defeat by Thebes in the Battle of Leuctra in 371 BC ended Sparta 's prominent role in Greece . However , it maintained its political independence until the Roman conquest of Greece in 146 BC . It then underwent a long period of decline , especially in the Middle Ages , when many Spartans moved to live in Mystras . Modern Sparta is the capital of the Greek regional unit of Laconia and a center for the processing of goods such as citrus and olives . Sparta was unique in ancient Greece for its social system and constitution , which completely focused on military training and excellence . Its inhabitants were classified as Spartiates -LRB- Spartan citizens , who enjoyed full rights -RRB- , mothakes -LRB- non-Spartan free men raised as Spartans -RRB- , perioikoi -LRB- freedmen -RRB- , and helots -LRB- state-owned serfs , enslaved non-Spartan local population -RRB- . Spartiates underwent the rigorous agoge training and education regimen , and Spartan phalanges were widely considered to be among the best in battle . Spartan women enjoyed considerably more rights and equality to men than elsewhere in the classical world . Sparta was the subject of fascination in its own day , as well as in the West following the revival of classical learning . This love or admiration of Sparta is known as Laconism or Laconophilia . At its peak around 500 BC the size of the city would have been some 20,000 -- 35,000 free residents , plus numerous helots and perioikoi -LRB- `` dwellers around '' -RRB- . At 40,000 -- 50,000 it was one of the largest Greek cities ; however , according to Thucydides , the population of Athens in 431 BC was 360,000 -- 610,000 , making it unlikely that Athens was smaller than Sparta in 5th century BC . The French classicist François Ollier in his 1933 book Le mirage spartiate -LRB- `` The Spartan Mirage '' -RRB- warned that a major scholarly problem regarding Sparta is that all the surviving accounts of Sparta were written by non-Spartans who often presented an excessively idealized image of Sparta . Ollier 's theory of the `` Spartan mirage '' has been widely accepted by scholars .

Skin_cancer

Skin cancers are cancers that arise from the skin . They are due to the development of abnormal cells that have the ability to invade or spread to other parts of the body . There are three main types of skin cancers : basal-cell skin cancer -LRB- BCC -RRB- , squamous-cell skin cancer -LRB- SCC -RRB- and melanoma . The first two , along with a number of less common skin cancers , are known as nonmelanoma skin cancer -LRB- NMSC -RRB- . Basal-cell cancer grows slowly and can damage the tissue around it but is unlikely to spread to distant areas or result in death . It often appears as a painless raised area of skin , that may be shiny with small blood vessel running over it or may present as a raised area with an ulcer . Squamous-cell cancer is more likely to spread . It usually presents as a hard lump with a scaly top but may also form an ulcer . Melanomas are the most aggressive . Signs include a mole that has changed in size , shape , color , has irregular edges , has more than one color , is itchy or bleeds . Greater than 90 % of cases are caused by exposure to ultraviolet radiation from the Sun . This exposure increases the risk of all three main types of skin cancer . Exposure has increased partly due to a thinner ozone layer . Tanning beds are becoming another common source of ultraviolet radiation . For melanomas and basal-cell cancers exposure during childhood is particularly harmful . For squamous-cell cancers total exposure , irrespective of when it occurs , is more important . Between 20 % and 30 % of melanomas develop from moles . People with light skin are at higher risk as are those with poor immune function such as from medications or HIV/AIDS . Diagnosis is by biopsy . Decreasing exposure to ultraviolet radiation and the use of sunscreen appear to be effective methods of preventing melanoma and squamous-cell cancer . It is not clear if sunscreen affects the risk of basal-cell cancer . Nonmelanoma skin cancer is usually curable . Treatment is generally by surgical removal but may less commonly involve radiation therapy or topical medications such as fluorouracil . Treatment of melanoma may involve some combination of surgery , chemotherapy , radiation therapy , and targeted therapy . In those people whose disease has spread to other areas of their bodies , palliative care may be used to improve quality of life . Melanoma has one of the higher survival rates among cancers , with over 86 % of people in the UK and more than 90 % in the United States surviving more than 5 years . Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer , globally accounting for at least 40 % of cases . The most common type is nonmelanoma skin cancer , which occurs in at least 2-3 million people per year . This is a rough estimate , however , as good statistics are not kept . Of nonmelanoma skin cancers , about 80 % are basal-cell cancers and 20 % squamous-cell cancers . Basal-cell and squamous-cell cancers rarely result in death . In the United States they were the cause of less than 0.1 % of all cancer deaths . Globally in 2012 melanoma occurred in 232,000 people , and resulted in 55,000 deaths .

South_Park

South Park is an American adult animated sitcom created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone and developed by Brian Graden for the Comedy Central television network . The show revolves around four boys -- Stan Marsh , Kyle Broflovski , Eric Cartman , and Kenny McCormick -- and their bizarre adventures in and around the titular Colorado town . Much like The Simpsons , South Park uses a very large ensemble cast of recurring characters and became infamous for its profanity and dark , surreal humor that satirizes a wide range of topics towards a mature audience . Parker and Stone developed the show from The Spirit of Christmas , two consecutive animated shorts created in 1992 and 1995 . The latter became one of the first Internet viral videos , ultimately leading to South Park 's production . It debuted in August 1997 with great success , consistently earning the highest ratings of any basic cable program . Subsequent ratings have varied but it remains one of Comedy Central 's highest rated shows , and is slated to air in new episodes through 2019 . The pilot episode was produced using cutout animation , leading to all subsequent episodes being produced with computer animation that emulated the cutout technique . Parker and Stone perform most of the voice acting for the show 's male characters . Since 2000 , each episode has typically been written and produced in the week preceding its broadcast , with Parker serving as the primary writer and director . There have been a total of episodes over the course of the show 's 20 seasons . South Park has received numerous accolades , including five Primetime Emmy Awards , a Peabody Award , and numerous inclusions in various publications ' lists of greatest television shows . The show 's popularity resulted in a feature-length theatrical film , South Park : Bigger , Longer & Uncut which was released in June 1999 , less than two years after the show 's premiere , and became a commercial and critical success , even garnering a nomination for an Academy Award . In 2013 , TV Guide ranked South Park the tenth Greatest TV Cartoon of All Time .
