Fatma Zohra Ksentini

Fatma Zohra Ouhachi-Vesely (nee Ksentini)() is an Algeria woman officeholder. She is the first United Nations special rapporteur on toxic wastes from 1995 to 2004. Before having her position, she was a "Special Rapporteur" in the Sub-Commission on Prevention of Discrimination and Protection of Minorities from 1989 to 1994.

For the United Nations Commission on Human Rights, she started a four-year search work into environmental human rights in 1990. After completing her research in 1994, she submitted her findings to the "Draft Declaration of Principles on Human Rights and the Environment".
In 1995, Ksentini became the "United Nations Special Rapporteur" on Toxic Wastes. During the starting of her office, she collected some information on the health effects of throwing out of toxic wastes. After submitting her report in 1997, Ksentini gave negative comments on the "Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights". It was for not providing her the necessary funding to carry on the actual finding. After being selected again in 1998, Ksentini developed many proposals on the destroying of toxic waste disposals into developing countries. Her final term as "Special Rapporteur" started in 2001 and ended in 2004.

Aaron Burr

Aaron Burr, Jr. (February 6, 1751, - September 14, 1836) was an American politician, Revolutionary War hero and the third vice president of the United States (1801 - 1805). He was born in Newark, province of New Jersey.
Burr fought in the American Revolutionary War, reaching the rank of Colonel.
After the war, Burr was a leader of the Democratic-Republican Party and served in the New York State Assembly, as New York State Attorney General, and as a United States Senator before serving as Vice President.
Burr killed Alexander Hamilton in a duel in 1804, when Burr was still Vice President.
Burr conspired to form a new country in Mexico. He wanted to be present if and when Spain and Mexico went to war. Some people, including President Thomas Jefferson, who had picked a different vice president for his second term, saw Burr's actions as treason. However, in 1807 Burr was found innocent of the charges. He was often thought of by his enemies as unreliable. Burr died in 1836.

Suicide attack

A suicide attack is an attack where the attacker (either one person or a group of people) plans on killing people and/or destroying property while also dying in the process. In a suicide attack, the attacker dies as a result of the attack, for example in an explosion or a crash.
Nowadays, suicide attacks are often done with a vehicle or an explosive material such as a bomb (a suicide bombing), or sometimes both (i.e. a car filled with explosives). If everything goes according to plan, the attacker is killed as soon as their attack is complete (when their vehicle crashes or their bomb detonates).
Suicide attacks are often done in a crowded place so that as many people as possible are killed. They are common in the Middle East and South Asia. Most attacks on Israel, carried out by Hamas or other Palestinian terrorist groups are suicide bombings. The kamikaze were suicide attacks by Japanese pilots during World War II.
Suicide attacks
Oedema

Oedema (U.S. edema) is dropsy. It was usually called dropsy until about the middle of the 20th century.
It is a medical condition, and a sign or symptom. It is swelling caused when fluid leaks out of the body's capillaries into the tissues. The fluid builds up and gets trapped in the tissues around the leaking blood vessels. This causes swelling. If there is enough swelling, oedema can be seen from outside of the skin.
Oedema can happen in any part of the body. However, it is easiest to see in the arms and legs, including the hands, ankles, and feet. Oedema in the arms and legs is called peripheral oedema.
Pulmonary oedema is fluid in the lungs. Pulmonary oedema is dangerous because having fluid in the lungs makes breathing difficult. If pulmonary oedema gets bad enough, a person can drown in the fluid.
Oedema in the abdomen is called ascites.
Signs and symptoms
Some of the signs and symptoms of oedema are:
Swelling or puffiness right under the skin
Skin that looks stretched or shiny
Changes in skin color
Aching arms and legs
Stiff joints
Weight gain or weight loss
Blood pressure and pulse rate that are higher than normal
Oedema in the lungs (pulmonary edema) can make it hard to breathe or cause chest pain.
Causes
Many things can cause oedema. When oedema is mild (not very serious), the most common causes are:
Eating too much salt
Staying still for long periods of time
Pregnancy
Side effects from some medication
However, oedema can also be a sign of serious disease. Diseases that can cause edema include:
Congestive heart failure (CHF). In CHF, the heart does not pump hard enough to send blood throughout the body. This can cause blood to back up in the arms and legs (causing peripheral oedema). It can also cause fluid to back up in the lungs (pulmonary oedema).
Liver damage (cirrhosis). Liver damage can cause fluid to back up in the abdomen (ascites) and the legs.
Kidney problems. The kidneys' job is to remove extra fluid from the blood. If the kidneys are not doing this job, the fluid builds up in other parts of the body.
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT). A DVT is a blood clot inside one of the deep veins in the body, usually deep inside the legs. Oedema in the legs is one sign of DVT.
Varicose veins.''
Treatment
If oedema is not very serious, it often goes away on its own. If a person has mild oedema in an arm or leg, they can often make oedema go away quicker by keeping the arm or leg raised above the level of the heart.
If oedema is more serious, it is treated with medicines called diuretics. These are medicines which help the body get rid of extra fluid by urinating it out.
If oedema is caused by a disease, that disease needs to be treated.

Dotted and dotless I

Dotted and dotless I are two different letters in the Turkish alphabet. One of them (I, i) has a dot above it and the other (I, i) does not. This is true in both the capital and lower case forms of the letters (see the picture).
The dotless I has the sound, while the dotted I has the sound. To show how they are pronounced, here are two examples:
Istanbul (starts with an i sound, not an i).
Diyarbakir (the first and last vowels are spelled and pronounced differently)
Some of the other Turkic languages that use the Latin script, like Azerbaijani and Tatar, also use both kinds of I. But in all these languages, including Turkish, the letter j does not have a dotted or dotless form, with a dot only on the lower case character (J, j), just like in the Indo-European languages. However, a dotless j, j, does exist in Unicode.

Maltese language

Maltese is the language of Malta, and a language of the European Union. Maltese sounds similar to the Phoenician language that was spoken in areas around the ancient Mediterranean. It is written in the Latin alphabet like English. Maltese descends from a dialect of Arabic called Siculo-Arabic. The language has borrowed many words from Sicilian, Italian, and English. Around 393,000 people speak Maltese. Most of them live in Malta.
History
Many people from Sicily settled in Malta after the Muslims conquered it in 870 AD. They spoke a Sicilian-Arabic language from the Maghreb. In later centuries their language changed into Maltese. The oldest known document in Maltese is "Il Cantilena," a poem from the 15th century written by Pietro Caxaro. For centuries, Maltese was mainly a spoken language.
Maltese became an official language of Malta in 1934, alongside English. Before that year, the only official language of Malta was Italian. Italian, however, is still used a lot in the media.
Today
Italian and English words are being taken in by the language more and more. This sometimes causes words to form that are not found in Maltese, Italian, or English, but instead are a mix of the three. At schools, English is taught as a second language. Maltese is usually used in the standardized jobs and when people talk to each other. Most of the television, radio, and literature in Malta is also in Maltese.

Mercury(I) chloride

Mercury(I) chloride, also known as calomel and mercurous chloride, is a chemical compound. Its chemical formula is Hg2Cl2. It has mercury and chloride ions in it. The mercury is in its +1 oxidation state.
Properties
It is a white to pale yellow crystalline solid. It is toxic, but not as toxic as mercury(II) chloride because it does not dissolve in water. It turns back into mercury and mercury(II) chloride when reacted with ammonia or exposed to ultraviolet light. The black color that came from the reaction with ammonia gave its name "calomel" (beautiful black). It is a weak reducing agent. It is the most common mercury(I) compound.
Occurrence
Calomel is sometimes found as a mineral, but it is quite rare.
Preparation
It is made by reacting mercury with mercury(II) chloride. It can also be made by reacting mercury(I) nitrate with sources of chloride, such as sodium chloride.
Uses
It is used in electrochemistry as a reference electrode. Reference electrodes are used to find the electrode potentials (ability to be oxidized and reduced) of other chemical substances. Since it decomposes when light is shined on it, it is used to see how many photons are in a light beam. It was used as medicine in the past, although it was toxic.

Earthquake protector

An earthquake protector is a type of base isolation made to protect building and non-building structures against damage from strong earthquakes.
A building's seismic performance may be improved by reducing vibrations. This may be done with damping mechanisms in vibration control technologies and especially in base isolation.
However, for the very pliant systems such as base isolated structures, with a relatively low bearing stiffness but with a high damping, the so-called "damping force" may turn out the main pushing force at a strong earthquake. This finding created a theoretical ground in earthquake engineering for a damping-disengaged base isolation technology called Earthquake protector.

The French Invasion of Russia in 1812, also known as the Russian Campaign in France () and the Patriotic War of 1812 in Russia (), was Napoleon I leading the French Empire to invade Russia. That was the turning point during the Napoleonic Wars, because it was the first major defeat for Napoleon.
It grealy reduced the French and allied invasion forces (the Grande Armee). It started a major change in European politics by greatly weakened the French power over Europe. French allies, at first Prussia and then Austria, broke their alliance with France. They fought France instead, which started the War of the Sixth Coalition.

Medical ethics

Medical ethics is the set of ethical rules that medical doctors follow. These ethics guide doctors as to how they should treat patients.
The earliest set of ethical ideas in medicine was the Hippocratic oath (an oath is an important promise). It was supposed to be written by Hippocrates.
Principles
There are 6 major principles (important ideas):
Beneficences - a doctor must do things that are good for the patient (the doctor is giving medical care to.)
Non-maleficence - a doctor must not try to hurt his patients.
Autonomy - the patient can say he does not want to be treated
Justice - talks about what is fair in giving people medicines and care. It talks about who gets what treatments.
Dignity - the patient (and the doctor) have the right to dignity (respect for someone as a person)
Truthfulness (being honest) - the doctor must tell the patient the truth
Medical ethics questions
Here are some kinds of medical ethics questions:
If there is not enough of a medicine to treat every person who has a disease who should get the medicine?
If a baby has a disease that will kill him very soon, what should a doctor do if the baby's mother says she does not want the baby to be helped?
A patient has an injury that cannot be helped and that will kill them in a few minutes. The patient asks a doctor "am I going to die?" What should the doctor say?
If a man has stage four cancer but only wants hollistic medicine, should you treat him with chemotherapy anyway?

Houlgate

Houlgate is a small tourist resort in northwestern France along the English Channel with a beach and a casino. It is a commune in the Calvados department in the Basse-Normandie region.
History
It began as a hamlet in the commune of Beuzeval which was a very old parish and was part of the fiefdom of the Ache (or Achey). There were many different lords because several different families inherited the title through marriage, until gradually the land of the Beuzeval was sold to farmers. The parish was eventually controlled by Houlgate. On the south side of the river Drochon, between 1845 and 1850, sea bathing attracted summer visitors.
Geography
Houlgate is located along the English Channel in the valley of the Drochon. The valley is mostly built up or used for animal grazing. The town's area is 4.69 km2 and the average altitude 5 m. Despite its low average height, the town contains two hills which form the natural limits of the commune.

Mohammad Sidique Khan

Mohammad Sidique Khan (20 October 1974 - 7 July 2005) was the oldest of the four Al Qaeda suicide bombers in the 7 July 2005 London bombings, in which bombs were exploded on three London Underground trains and one bus in central London suicide attacks, killing 56 people including the attackers and injuring over 700. He was believed to be the leader of the bombers. Khan bombed the Edgware Road train killing himself and six other people.
On 1 September 2005, a recording was found that had Khan in. The recording, shown by Al Jazeera Television, also mentions Ayman al-Zawahiri, who is the highest leader of al-Qaeda. The two men do not appear together, and the British government says that al-Qaeda was not involved with the bombing. The Home Office believes the recording was edited after the suicide attacks and dismisses it as evidence of al-Qaeda's involvement in the bombing. In the film, Khan declares, "I and thousands like me have forsaken everything for what we believe" and refers to his expectation that the media would already have painted a picture of him in accordance with government "spin". He goes on to say, "Your democratically elected governments continually perpetrate atrocities against my people all over the world. Your support makes you directly responsible. We are at war and I am a soldier. Now you too will taste the reality of this situation."

Gender differences in crime

Gender differences in crime are differences between females and males as criminals or as the victims of crime. Studies of this subject may be in the areas of criminology (study of criminal behavior), sociobiology and women's studies.
According to statistics, males commit more crimes than females. But females do sometimes commit crimes matching those of men, such as bank robbery, murder and burglary.
A 2008 study of domestic violence shows that women have different reasons from men when committing violence against their partner. Women are more likely to do this because they are afraid or to defend themselves. Men, on the other hand, are more likely to be trying to be in control. Men are more likely to beat up, choke or strangle their partner. Women were more likely to slap, kick, bite, throw something at their partner, punch their partners or hit with objects.
