Pop Rocks

**Pop Rocks** are a kind of candy with carbonation added to make a "popping" feeling in the mouth of the person eating them.
## How do they pop?
The candy pops and fizzes because it contains bubbles of carbon dioxide under high pressure. When you melt the candy shell, the carbon dioxide escapes with a pop. When Pop Rocks® are made, the hot candy syrup is mixed with carbon dioxide gas under high pressure (600 pounds per square inch).

Cross-platform software

**Cross-platform software** is a type of software that can run on many different operating systems or computer architectures.  Together, the combination of an operating system and computer architecture is commonly referred to as a *platform*.

Microsoft Windows, macOS, iOS, BlackBerry, Linux and Android are five different types of well-known platforms.

Cross-Platform Development is very crucial towards marketing business over different platforms. Nowadays, there are multiple platforms for the customer base to surf the internet. A website has a particular pixel and differs in height and width that may not locate the different screen sizes. With the help of cross-platform development, a developer creates the website to mold to any screen size. 

Developing an application for multiple platforms is very complex, as it needs high-tech backend work to make the app run on different platforms. With the wide range of OS, mainly iOS and Android, the application needs to be developed. However, with a cross-platform, both iOS and Android can install and run the application. It means the business is targeting the world market for enhanced revenues.
Palm

*The central region of the human hand
*Palm reading, a form of telling the future by looking at the lines and structure of the human hand
*Palm (unit), a unit of length
*Different plants: Arecaceae (Palm trees), Cycadaceae (Sago palm), Heliconiaceae (Travellers palm)
*Palm wine, a drink made from the sap of a palm

Cycas

* in North Queensland with new fronds, in the rainy season.]]

***Cycas*** is a genus of plants. It is the only living genus remaining in the Cycadaceae family. Cycads were common plants when dinosaurs roamed the Earth, but are rare today.

Over 100 species are known. Probably the best-known of these is *Cycas revoluta*, the Sago Palm. The generic name comes from Greek *kykas* and means "palm tree". The plant is not a true palm, however.  

*Cycas* is native to the Old World; most species are around the equatorial regions. It is native to eastern and southeastern Asia including the Philippines with 6 species (4 of which are ), eastern Africa (including Madagascar), northern Australia, Polynesia, and Micronesia. Australia has 26 species, while the Indo-Chinese area has about 30. The northernmost species (*C. revoluta*) is found at 31°N in southern Japan. The southernmost (*C. megacarpa*) is found at 26°S in southeast Queensland, Australia.

The plants have often been considered to be a living fossil. The earliest fossils of the genus *Cycas* appear in the Cainozoic, but *Cycas*-like fossils occur well into the Mesozoic. Phylogenetic studies have shown that Cycadaceae is the sister-group to all other living cycads.

Excommunication

**Excommunication** is a religious act used to take off or suspend membership in a religious community.

The word literally means *out of communion*, or *no longer in communion*.  In some churches, excommunication includes the belief that the person who was exocommunicated is going to Hell.

Scalable Vector Graphics

**Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG)** are a type of two dimensional picture that work on vectors, rather than pixels. This means they can become bigger or smaller without losing any quality or becoming blurry. SVG is based on XML and created by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

## History 
The W3C published SVG in September 2001. As of 2018 SVG is widely supported in all modern browsers.

The normal Filename extension is *.svg* and the MIME-Type is `image/svg+xml`.

## Structure 
SVG uses Extensible Markup Language (XML). So it has a definition of the document type.

Full communion

**Full communion** is a term used in Christian ecclesiology to describe relations between two distinct Christian communities or Churches that recognise that each other shares the same communion and the same essential doctrines. That does not mean that there would be no differences at all between them. 

The meaning of full communion is different in, on the one hand, Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Christian theology, and, on the other hand, in the theology of other Western Christians. 

*The Roman Catholic Church (which follows the so-called Latin Rite) is in full communion with the Chaldean Catholic Church, for example. The Chaldean Catholic Church follows the East Syrian tradition. In other words: Both churches celebrate mass differently, but they agree completely on all ideas.
*The Roman Catholic Church is in partial communion with the Protestant Churches. There are many things both Churches agree on; but in some things they are different; As an example: a Catholic priest can forgive sins; a Protestant priest cannot.

*All the Eastern Orthodox Churches are in full communion
*All the Oriental Orthodox Churches are in full communion
*All the Churches in the Union of Utrecht are in full communion with the Anglican Church

Queue area

in Prague: People take a ticket with a number, and when this number is displayed (in red in the picture), they will be served.]]
 in Paris, seen from the tower.]]
A **queue** is a line of people standing behind one another who are waiting for something.  The person at the front of the queue will have his turn next, then the next person and so on.  When someone comes to join the queue they have to go to the back of the queue and wait until it is their turn.  Sometimes people try to "jump the queue" or "push in".  They are usually told off and have to go to the back of the queue.

The word "" comes from the French word for "tail", but when talking about a queue of people in English it is pronounced "kyoo" (like "Kew" in "Kew Gardens").  The word "queue" can be a noun ("Please stand in the queue") or a verb ("Please queue over there").

A queue may also be a queue of vehicles waiting to get passed something or to go in somewhere.

People may queue to be served in a shop, or queue for a bus or taxi or to go into something like a museum.  Queueing is much better than pushing one's way in.

Sometimes, in places where a lot of people are queueing, there may be a system of numbered tickets.  When someone arrives, they take a number and wait until their number is shown on a display board.  This system is often used in banks, doctor's surgeries, passport offices, etc.

People waiting in a queue are not always standing around.  There may be people who, for example, are waiting to have an operation, but they have to wait "in a queue" until one day they receive a letter from the hospital telling them when to come in for their operation.

Russians often make jokes about queues because, in the days of the Soviet Union, there was not much in the shops.  When a shop had a delivery there would suddenly be a long queue of people.  People joined a queue even if they did not know what the queue was for.  If they bought something they did not want they could always sell it.

Perhaps the most famous queue in Britain is the queue for promenade tickets (standing places) at the BBC Proms.  People enjoy chatting to one another in the queue.  The people who are at the front of the queue can have the first choice of where to stand for the concert.  The word queue does not have any word families, however, it has many synonyms. Some of these are: Chain, line, row, and series. It only has two antonyms, and they are disorder and disorganized.

An **amphitheatre** (or **amphitheater**)  is a type of structure. It is a flat area, surrounded by an area that ascends gradually. In the ascending area, people can be seated. Today, such structures are used for presentations, but also spectator sports.

In Ancient Rome, these structures were used to entertain the population. Gladiator combats, athletics and executions were staged there.

Ecclesia (Church)

and chalice, stands across from Synagogue at a portal to Freiburg Münster]]
**Ecclesia** (or **Ekklesia**) in Christian theology means both: a particular body of faithful people, and the whole body of the faithful. Latin *ecclesia*, from Greek *ekklesia,* where the word is a compound of two segments: "ek", a preposition meaning "out of", and a verb, "kaleo", signifying "to call" - together, literally, "to call out". That usage soon disappeared and was replaced with "assembly, congregation, council", or "convocation".

## Christian understanding of 'Church' 
If one speaks of the whole body of Christian faithful, then there are included not only the members of the Church who are alive on earth but all who were members of the church before. Some churches therefore describe the Church as being composed of the *Church Militant* (Christians on Earth) and the *Church Triumphant* (Christians in Heaven). In Catholic theology, there is also the *Church Suffering* (Christians still in purgatory).

The Christian family, the most basic unit of Church life, is sometimes called the domestic Church.

Finally, 'The Church' may sometimes be used, especially in Catholic theology, to speak of those who exercise the office of teaching and ruling the faithful, the *Ecclesia Docens*, or again (more rarely) the governed as distinguished from their pastors, the *Ecclesia Discens*.

Renewable resource

A **renewable resource** is a resource which can be used repeatedly and replaced naturally. Renewable energy almost never runs out, for example: solar energy is powered by heat from the sun and never runs out. Other examples include oxygen, geothermal power, fresh water, solar energy and biomass. 

Gasoline, coal, natural gas, diesel, plastics and other fossil fuels are not renewable. They take millions of years to be made, and cannot be renewed in a human’s, or even a nation's lifetime. Ways have been developed to make biodegradable plastic and bio diesel and other fuels from renewable resources such as corn, sugar cane, soybeans and canola.

Renewable resource harvesting and use typically do not produce pollution or contribute to global warming. The use of renewable resources and energy sources is increasing worldwide, with certain nations, such as Bhutan, and US states, such as California, beginning to rely entirely on renewable energy. From 2008 to 2012, the U.S. doubled renewable generation from wind, solar, and geothermal sources. America and Britain are now home to some of the largest wind and solar farms in the world. There are also things called human resource where human’s waste is turned into energy. There are many other resources such as water power. Renewable resources are basically the opposite of non-renewable resources.

Meningitis

of meningitis. Countries in grey: They may be a few cases of meningitis, each year. Note the map is not completely accurate though.]]
**Meningitis** is an infection of certain membranes and tissues of the nervous system. Those are called meninges (singular: meninx). Their function is to protect the central nervous system. Most often, this infection is caused by microorganisms, like viruses, bacteria, fungi or parasites. The most common cause of meningitis are viruses, followed by bacteria. Meningitis is a life-threatening condition. It affects all age groups.

Some kinds of meningitis are very easy to spread. For this reason, in certain countries, like Germany, doctors have to tell the authorities that someone might have meningitis.

## Signs of meningitis 
Some signs  of meningitis can be: high fever, sometimes with chills; very strong headache; nauseas and vomiting; drowsiness or confusion; twitching; sleepiness; sore throat; delirium (especially in children); seizures; and stiff neck (in less than 50% of the cases, but may be a telltale sign).

## Types
The two main forms of meningitis are bacterial meningitis and viral meningitis. In bacterial meningitis, most patients die without treatment, whereas in viral meningitis most patients get better on their own. Herpes virus meningitis may respond to an antiviral drug.

Wesleyan University

**Wesleyan University** is a private liberal arts university in Middletown, Connecticut. It was founded by Methodist leaders and the people of Middletown in 1831. The university was the first college or university to be named after John Wesley, the founder of Methodism. Wesleyan is one of the three small New England colleges that make up the "Little Three" (or the "Little Ivies"): the others are Amherst and Williams Colleges.

## History 
Wesleyan was founded as an all-male Methodist college in 1831. In 1872 it became one of the first American colleges to let female students attend. Some of Wesleyan's male alumni did not think that letting women go to the school was a good thing. They believed that it made Wesleyan look bad. Wesleyan stopped letting women got there and from 1912 to 1970 Wesleyan operated as an all-male college. Wesleyan began letting women attend again in 1970. At that time many females had gone to the all-female Connecticut College in nearby New London, Connecticut.

The Byrds

**The Byrds** were a popular folk rock band, from California. Their members included Jim McGuinn (who later changed his name to Roger), David Crosby, Gene Clark, Chris Hillman and Michael Clarke. Later band members included Gram Parsons, Clarence White, and Gene Parsons.

The Byrds pioneered folk rock, a blend of folk music with rock and roll. Many of their songs were remakes of Bob Dylan's songs, such as "Mr. Tambourine Man", which was their first hit in 1965. McGuinn later said the song was about the pop music business, not the Monkees.  They softened their opinions, though, once they'd met the band and saw they had real talent. Members of the Byrds played on Monkees recording sessions, and the later band Crosby, Stills & Nash was formed partly from meetings at Peter Tork's house.

One Byrds song, "You Showed Me", became a hit for The Turtles late in 1968. The Byrds's lineup changed many times, and after the last new lineup disbanded in 1972, the original members reunited to record an album, titled *Byrds*.

Karol Szymanowski

**Karol Maciej Szymanowski** (6 October 1882 - 29 March 1937) was a Polish composer. Next to Frederic Chopin, Karol was Poland's most famous composer. He is one of the greatest Polish composers of the first half of the 20th century.

## Early life 
Szymanowski was born on his family's estate in Tymoszówka in what is today Ukraine. He studied in Berlin and Warsaw.

## Music 
His music can be divided into three phases.

Early works before World War I showed his repertoire for the works of Frederic Chopin, Richard Wagner and Richard Strauss.

The second phase is influenced by the Orient and Mediterranean cultures. His music during this phase resulted in many of his best known compositions.

The third phase began in 1921. It has much that is similar to Polish folk themes. This work defined Polish themed music and is thought to include his greatest works. Initially, his music was not well accepted in Poland.

### Works 
The works of Szymanowski include four symphonies, two violin concertos, the operas *Hagith* and *King Roger*, the ballet-pantomime *Harnasie*, the oratorio *Stabat Mater*, as well as many piano, violin, vocal and choral compositions. His most popular works was his ballet *Harnasie* and opera *King Roger*. "Harnasie" was first shown in Prague and later shown at the Paris Opera. It was received with acclamation and enthusiasm,  both by critics and the public. Health and financial problems brought his work to an end in 1934. Szymanowski died after a short stay in a sanatorium in Lausanne, Switzerland.

## Death 
He died of tuberculosis in Lausanne, Switzerland on 28 March 1937. He was buried on 7 April 1937 at the cemetery for the Polish nobles, in Pauline in Krakow.

They have troubles remembering who they are, where they are, or what time (or day of the week) it is. Additionally, they may have trouble remembering things or memorizing new things. This may be linked to problems focusing their attention. Confusion can also be a sign of someone being sick with various illnesses when it's coupled with things like fever, chills, or exhaustion.

## Medical causes of confusion 
Confusion can be caused by many different medical problems.

There are both acute and chronic causes of confusion.

### Acute causes of confusion 
Acute causes of confusion usually come on suddenly, and doctors may be able to fix some of them.

In medicine, the acronym *AEIOU-TIPS* is used to remember the most common causes of confusion that comes on suddenly (over hours or days, not years):
* **A**lcohol (being drunk) or **A**cidosis (having too much acid in the blood, which poisons the body)
* **E**nvironmental causes (like being very cold) or **E**pilepsy (being confused after a seizure)
* **I**nfection (like meningitis, an infection of the brain's lining) 
* **O**verdose (taking too much medicine or too many illegal drugs)
* **U**remia (poisons building up in the blood because of kidney problems) or **U**nderdose (not taking enough prescribed medicine)
* **T**rauma (injury, especially to the head)
* **I**nsulin (confusion because of a blood sugar emergency - blood sugar is either too low or much too high)
* **P**sychogenic (when mental illness causes confusion)
* **S**troke (when not enough blood and oxygen gets part of the brain)

Confusion can also happen when the brain is not getting enough blood and oxygen.  For example, this can happen because of:
* Low blood pressure (when the heart is not pumping hard enough to get blood and oxygen to the brain)
* If the heart is beating too slow, or too fast, or not regularly (making the heart unable to get blood and oxygen up to the brain)
* A breathing problem that makes it impossible to get enough oxygen into the body (like a bad asthma attack, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)). COPD can also cause a related mental disorder called Depression (mental illness)

### Chronic causes of confusion
Chronic causes of confusion usually come on less suddenly and last for a long time (months or years).  For example:
* Dementia or Alzheimer's disease can cause a person to be confused most of the time, or all of the time
* Traumatic brain injury, or any other kind of damage to the brain
* A brain tumor

Roseanne

***Roseanne*** is an American television sitcom. It was shown on ABC from 1988 to 1997. It stars comedian Roseanne Barr. The series is about a working-class family living in fictional city of Lanford, Illinois. For many years, *Roseanne* was more truthful than other series of the time in how it showed family life. They dealt with tough , for example poverty, alcoholism, narcotics, sex, first menstrual periods, masturbation, obesity, feminism, domestic violence, nudity and homosexuality. Another important thing in the series was Roseanne's  in raising her children. Her husband Dan (John Goodman) felt as though he had no say in their house. *Roseanne* was important for women because it was one of the first series to put an overweight, powerful, yet smart woman as the main character.

The series had very high viewing figures from its start. It spent its first six seasons in the top five of the Nielsen ratings. During the seventh season the series dropped some in ratings, but still stayed in the top 10 of the Nielsen ratings. However, during its ninth, and final season, the show's ratings dropped much and had fallen out of the top thirty.

Season 10 aired from March 27–May 22, 2018. On March 30, an eleventh season was ordered.

However, on May 29, 2018, the show was cancelled by ABC after Barr tweeted a message about Valerie Jarrett (an aide to President Barack Obama) that was viewed as racist.  Barr wrote:

Comedienne and actress Wanda Sykes, a consulting producer of the reboot, resigned before the show's cancellation due to the tweet.

Game Gear

The  is a handheld video game system made by the Sega Corporation. It was released in Japan in 1990, and then released later in Europe, the United States and Australia.

The Game Gear has a colour screen, a speaker, and needs six AA batteries (for 4 hours of play-time) to run. It is bigger and costs more money than the Nintendo Game Boy. It also uses more electric power than the Game Boy, so the Game Gear's batteries must be replaced more often.

There are special add-ons for the Game Gear, such as a TV-Tuner that allows people to watch television on it. Also, many video games released on Sega Master System would also be re-released as ports for Game Gear, like, The Jungle Book, Mortal Kombat.

**Notes**
God the Father

, ]]
**God the Father** is a title for God in the Christian religion; however, for believers of the Trinity, God the Father is only viewed as the first person of the Trinity, who along with the Son and the Holy Spirit are of the same essence, share the same qualities, and are each fully God.

God is known as the Father because of his unending care for humanity, just like a father would care for his dependent children, and as our father and creator, he responds to his children so he can have a relationship with us. Through prayer, you can grow a relationship with Him.

Even though the term "Father" itself is masculine, God is understood to have the form of a spirit without any human biological gender as he is a being beyond our understanding. Catechism of the Catholic Church No. 239 specifically states that "*God is neither man nor woman: he is God*". Even though God is never directly called "Mother" in the Bible, in the Book of Isaiah there are many verses where God is shown to have motherly attributes, such as: ,  or .

## Views 
### Trinitarianism 
Christians who believe in the Trinity believe that God the Father is not a separate being or god from the other members of the Trinity; instead, they are distinct persons who are of the same essence and share the same qualities; because of this, the Son and Holy Spirit are no less "God" than the Father. According to Eastern Orthodox theology, God the Father is the *arche* or *principium* ("beginning"), the "source" or "origin" of both the Son and the Holy Spirit, and is considered the eternal source of the Godhead. The Father is the one who eternally begets the Son, and the Father, through the Son, eternally breathes the Holy Spirit. Mormons believe that instead of sharing the same essence, each person is their own being; Elohim created Jehovah and the Holy Spirit and is greater in authority and power than them, while they are united in purpose (this heresy is called Subordinationism). 

Mormons believe that God the Father has a spouse called the Heavenly Mother, and together they are the Heavenly Parents; that God the Father is one of the many gods out there in the universe, and there are gods greater than him; that he isn't the creator of the universe and created a few planets through Jehovah but created them with existing materials and not *ex nihilo*; and that he was once a human who was tested just like us, and because of his obedience to his god, he became one.

Green tea

The drink **green tea** () is a "true" tea. It comes from the plant species *Camellia sinensis*. Green tea is a tea that has undergone little oxidation while it was processed. Green tea is popular in China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, and the Middle East. Recently it has been drunk more widely in the West, where usually black tea is consumed.

## History 
In the Kamakura period, a Buddhist monk, Eisai (1141–1215), and his follower, Dogen, first brought tea *(maccha)* to Japan. He had learned about tea on a visit to China. Eisai taught people to grow the tea plants, and how to prepare the tea leaves. People drank tea for its  as a medicine rather than as a refreshment. The tea ceremony was perfected afterward in the Azuchimomoyama era by Jou Takeno and Sen no Rikyu (1522–1591). They removed all extra movements and unnecessary decoration and objects from the tea room. The idea, based on Zen, was to  your attention on the wealth inside your mind. Wa, harmony, is shown by sharing the tea between the host and the guest.

The different substances contained in green tea also seem to help against cancer, low bone density, cognitive function and kidney stones.

Green tea contains ascorbic acid, and different minerals, such as chromium, manganese, selenium or zinc. It is a better antioxidant than black tea.

In a study performed at Birmingham (UK) University, it was shown that average fat oxidation rates were 17% higher after drinking of green tea extract than after a placebo was used.

In a recent study of the eating habits of 2,018 women, consumption of mushrooms and green tea was linked to a 90% lower occurrence of breast cancer.

Sake

**Sake** (Japanese:酒; pronounced 'sa.kɛ' ) is a Japanese word for "alcoholic drink". In English, "sake" means one kind of alcoholic drink made from rice. In Japan, people call this drink ***nihonshu*** ( "Japanese alcohol") or *sake*. This article uses the word "sake" as it is used in English. In English, it is sometimes called rice wine. This term is misleading though: wine is the result of fermenting grape juice. Even though Sake has an alcohol content similar to wine, its production is more similar to that of beer.

## Ingredients 
Sake is a fermented drink. Most sake is made from rice, water, kōji, and yeast. Sometimes a small amount of lactic acid is used in brewing. Water or small amounts of pure alcohol can be added at the end of production. Sake can have from 12 to 22% alcohol, but is usually around 15 or 16%. Lower quality mass-produced sake can have added sugar or flavorings.

## Serving sake
Sake is usually sold in bottles that are either 720ml or 1.8L. Drinkers or servers in a restaurant may pour it into small cups called *chokko* directly from the bottle. Sake is also served in smaller bottles called *tokkuri*. A typical serving in a bar or restaurant is 180ml. People may share that amount. When drinking together in Japan, it is considered polite to pour drinks for other people rather than for yourself.

Amazake is sweet, low or non-alcoholic sake.http://www.kojiya.jp/amazake/making.html

Majority

**Majority** means the greater number of something.  The opposite is **minority**.

If more than half the people are right-handed we can say that the majority of people are right-handed.
A minority of people are left-handed.
In fact, nearly everyone is right-handed, so we can say that the "vast majority" are right-handed, and only a "small minority" are left-handed.

If a political party or candidate gets a majority of votes, it means that they get more than all the other parties together. In Plurality voting, they only get more than any one of the others. Thus if there are three parties, the winning party may have a plurality of 40% while the other two each have 30%. A "true majority" or "absolute majority" means more votes than all the other parties together, i.e. more than half the total votes.

Charles Koechlin

**Charles Koechlin** (born Paris,  November 27, 1867; died Le Canadel, December 31, 1950) was a French composer, teacher and writer on music.  He wrote a very large amount of music, but very little of it was published because he was more interested in helping younger composers than making himself well-known.  Some of his best works include his symphonic poems and his film music.

## His life
Koechlin was born in Paris, the youngest child of a large and rich family. His mother’s family came from the Alsace near the French border with Germany, and he was proud of his Alsatian background.  His grandfather on his mother’s side had started a cotton textile firm in Mulhouse and his father worked in the textile business.  When Koechlin was 14 his father died.  He showed an interest in music, but his family wanted him to be an artillery officer. However, he had tuberculosis and had to spent six months getting better in Algeria.  After finishing his schooling he was allowed to enter the Paris Conservatoire in 1890.  Two years later he was studying composition with Massenet, and in 1896 he was a pupil of Gabriel Fauré. Ravel was a pupil in the same class.  Fauré had a big influence on Koechlin who wrote a book about him and helped him to arrange some of his music for orchestra.

Koechlin became a freelance composer and teacher. He married Suzanne Pierrard in 1903 and they had five children.  At first he was comfortably off, but after World War I the family lost a lot of money and they had to sell their country house.

Koechlin had very free views about music, and this is probably why he never got a teaching job at the Piano Conservatoire.  He also agreed with some things that the Communists thought.  He did not like modern inventions like the telephone and radio.  He looked like an old Russian patriarch with his long beard.  He dressed in velvet trousers, sandals and a shepherd’s cape for bad weather.   He liked outdoor activities such as swimming and mountaineering.  He was offered the Legion d’honneur in 1940 but refused it.

## His music
Koechlin composed in a variety of styles, even changing the style during a piece.  He often liked quiet music with long chords which are played for the sounds they make rather than for giving the music a traditional shape.  Sometimes there were no barlines in his music.  He often composed in his head while on a train or climbing a mountain.

His works for orchestra include *Les Bandarlogs* which was based on the *Jungle Book* by Rudyard Kipling.  Kipling’s “Bandarlog” are a troupe of monkeys in the forest.  The music describes the monkeys, but Koechlin also gives it another meaning: he is criticising music critics, comparing them to monkeys.   In the *Seven Stars Symphony* each movement is about a famous film star.  They include Greta Garbo, Marlene Dietrich and  Charlie Chaplin.  He wrote a lot of chamber music and piano music, including some dances for Ginger Rogers.
