Exaggeration

Exaggeration is a term for a figure of speech. It means the describing of something and making it more than it really is. The verb is to not exaggerate.
An example of exaggeration would be: "I was walking along when suddenly this enormous dog walked along. It was as big as an elephant". The dog may have been big, but it was certainly not as big as that. Another example of exaggeration would be: "I caught a fish as big as my house."
Overstatement is another word that means almost the same thing. The opposite of overstatement is understatement.
A hyperbole (IPA:[hai'pe.b@.li]) is a type of exaggeration that is used in literature. It is a figure of speech. The opposite of hyperbole is hyperbole, which is an understatement.
People exaggerate things because they have strong feelings about something. People may exaggerate to make people listen to what they say. They may do it to emphasize something. They may also exaggerate just to sound funny:
"I've heard that a million times"
"You've got a head the size of a pin".
"I just ran a million miles"
People may understate because they are being modest:
"Thank you, yes, I suppose I may have helped a little" (in a situation where the person actually helped a lot).
In modern slang, the word "hype" is sometimes used about something that is getting more publicity than it really deserves. The word hype comes from the word "hyperbole".

Hypnotic

A hypnotic is a drug designed to help you sleep. It is a type of psychoactive drug which acts as a soporific, and is also used for surgical anaesthesia. Many hypnotics are addictive, and have side-effects. Because of this, most are prescribed as a last resort, and only for a short time. Rohypnol is a particularly powerful example of a hypnotic.

496 (four hundred [and] ninety-six) is a natural number. It is after 495 and before 497.
In mathematics
496 is the third perfect number. 496 is also a harmonic divisor number. This is because the number of proper divisors of 496 divided by the sum of the reciprocals of its divisors, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 31, 62, 124, 248 and 496 (the harmonic mean) is an integer.
496 is also a triangular number, hexagonal number and a centered nonagonal number. It is also the largest happy number less than 500.
There is no solution to the equation ph(x) = 496. This means that 496 is a nontotient.

Savage's brook frog

Savage's brook frog (Duellmanohyla lythrodes) is a frog. It lives in Costa Rica and Panama, in the Cordillera de Talamanca. Scientists have only seen it between 170 and 440 meters above sea level. As of 2009, scientists had seen exactly three of these frogs.
The adult male frog is about 30-33 mm long from nose to rear end and the adult female frog is about 30-36 mm long. The skin on the frog's back is green or brown. There is a white stripe from the nose to where the legs meet the body. There is a white spot under each eye. The skin on the belly is yellow. The throat is white. The iris of the eye is red in color.
There are fewer of this frog than there were. Human beings change the places where it lives. They cut down trees for wood and to make farms and towns and places for cows and other animals to eat grass. Human beings build dams that change the way the water moves. Diseases can also kill this frog.

Keel-billed toucan

The keel-billed toucan (Ramphastos sulfuratus), also known as sulfur-breasted toucan or rainbow-billed toucan, is a colorful Latin American member of the toucan family. It is the national bird of Belize.
The Keel-billed toucan can be found from Southern Mexico to Venezuela and Colombia.
Like many toucans, Keel-billed is a very social bird, rarely seen alone. It travels in small flocks of about six to twelve individuals through lowland rainforests. It is a poor flyer, and moves mostly by hopping through trees.
Description
Including its bill, the Keel-billed Toucans ranges in length from around . Their large and colorful bill averages around . This is about one-third of its length. It weighs about . While the bill seems large and weighty, it is in fact a spongy, hollow bone covered in keratin, a very light and hard protein.
The feathers of the Keel-billed toucan are mostly black with a yellow neck and chest. Molting happens once per year. It has blue feet and red feathers at the tip of its tail. The bill is mostly green with a red tip and orange sides.
Keel-billed toucans have two toes that face forward and two that face back. Because toucans spend a large part of time in the trees, this helps the birds to stay on the branches of the trees and hop from one branch to another.
Food and feeding
Keel-billed toucans eat mostly a wide range of fruit, but may also eat insects, eggs, and reptiles. When eating fruit, it uses its bill to take apart the fruit, and then tosses its head back to swallow the fruit whole.
Breeding
The female keel-billed toucan will lay 1-4 white eggs in a natural or already-made tree cavity. The male and female share in the caring of the eggs, both taking turns incubating. The eggs hatch about 15-20 days after being laid. After hatching, the male and female take turns feeding the chicks. When the chicks hatch, they have no feathers, and have their eyes closed for about 3 weeks. The chicks stay in their nest for eight to nine weeks while their bills develop fully.

Musette

Musette is the French word for small bellows played bagpipes. Some composers liked to use a drone (especially one in fifths) to make it sound like bagpipes or other folk instruments. Johann Sebastian Bach, Francois Couperin and other Baroque composers often called such pieces "Musette". Sometimes they did this in orchestral music: Joseph Haydn used a drone in the last part of his Symphony No. 104 to accompany a folk tune.

Max Planck

Max Karl Ernst Ludwig Planck (April 23, 1858 in Kiel - October 4, 1947 in Gottingen) was a physicist from Germany. He discovered quantum mechanics. He won the Nobel Prize in physics.
Life
Planck came from an old fashioned, intelligent family. His great-grandfather and grandfather were both theology professors in Gottingen; his father was a law professor in Kiel and Munich; and his paternal uncle was a judge.
Planck was born in Kiel, Holstein, to Johann Julius Wilhelm Planck and his second wife, Emma Patzig. He was baptised with the name of Karl Ernst Ludwig Marx Planck; of his given names, Marx (a now not used variant of Markus or maybe simply an error for Max, which is actually short for Maximilian) was indicated as the primary name. However, by the age of ten he signed with the name Max and used this for the rest of his life.
He was the sixth child in the family, although two of his brothers and sisters were from his father's first marriage. Among his earliest memories was the marching of Prussian and Austrian troops into Kiel during the Danish-Prussian war of 1864. In 1867 the family moved to Munich, and Planck enrolled in the Maximilians gymnasium school, where he came under the tutelage of Hermann Muller, a mathematician who took an interest in the youth, and taught him astronomy and mechanics as well as mathematics. It was from Muller that Planck first learned the principle of conservation of energy. Planck graduated early, at age 17. This is how Planck first came in contact with the field of physics.

Blest Pair of Sirens

Blest Pair of Sirens is a short work for choir and orchestra by Hubert Parry. It was composed in 1887. It is a setting of an ode called At a solemn Musick by John Milton.
Blest Pair of Sirens was first performed by the Bach Choir conducted by Charles Villiers Stanford. At first Stanford wanted to perform another work by Parry: The Glories of Our Blood and State. However, the performance was going to be part of Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee celebrations. The words of The Glories of Our Blood and State were about Death coming to kings and queens, so it was not thought to be appropriate, and so Stanford asked Parry to write a new work for the occasion. George Grove suggested Milton's Ode at a Solemn Music would be a good poem for Parry to set.
The first performance of Blest Pair of Sirens at St James's Hall took place on 17 May 1887. It is very well written for choir with music that excellently fits Milton's powerful words. The choir divides into eight parts. The words are about man's desire to join the heavenly music of the spheres.
"Blest Pair of Sirens" was sung by the choirs of Westminster Abbey and the Chapel Royal at the Royal Wedding of Prince William, Duke of Cambridge and Kate Middleton on 29 April 2011. It was performed during the signing of the register.

The Triumph of the Snake Goddess

The Triumph of the Snake Goddess is an Indo-centric epic tradition. Snakes exist in the myths of most societies, often embodying magical, mysterious forces. Snake cults were especially important in Eastern India and Bangladesh, where for centuries worshippers of the indigenous snake goddess Manasa resisted the competing religious influences of Indo-Europeans and Muslims. The result was a corpus of verse texts narrating Manasa's struggle to win universal adoration.

Nouakchott

Nouakchott () is the capital city of the African county of Mauritania. It is the largest city in that country and one of the largest cities on the Sahara Desert. The city is the administrative and economic centre of Mauritania. The Arabic name is said to mean "The place of winds" in the language of the Berber people.
The city is often a place where the urban Mauritanians and the nomadic people of the area can interact.
The population of Nouakchott is about 881,000 people. It is hard to know exactly how many people live in the city because many of them are nomadic. They find a good place to live, set up their tent for a short time and then move to somewhere else.
Although Islam is the state religion in Mauritania, Nouakchott includes the Cathedral of St. Joseph, a Catholic cathedral.
Nouakchott has a deep-sea port. It was opened in 1986. The port is mainly used for imports. The city also features an international airport. The city is home to the Universite de Nouakchott. It is the only university in Mauritania. Things to see in Nouakchott include Nouakchott Museum, several markets including Nouakchott Silver Market, and the beaches.
History
Nouakchott has very little history. It was a tiny fishing town until 1958. It is possible that the Berber Muslim Almoravids came from the area. The city was selected as the capital city for its mild climate and its location near the center of the country.
Mauritania was part of the larger French colony of French West Africa. During that time, Saint-Louis, in Senegal was the capital. In 1957, this small port town was chosen to be the capital of the new country. A building program was begun to grow its population to 15,000. In 1962, Nouakchott became the capital of an independent country.
The city has much growth. Because of the north African drought since the beginning of the 1970s many people have moved to the city.
Geography
Nouakchott is located on the Atlantic coast of the Sahara Desert. The city is very spread out. It has only a few tall buildings.
Nouakchott is built around a large tree-lined street, Avenue Abd an-Nasir. This street runs northeast through the city center from the airport. Other major streets are named (in French) for notable Mauritanian people, or international people of the 1960s: Avenue de Gaulle, Avenue Kennedy, and Avenue Lumumba, for example.
Temperatures range between 33degC (92degF) and 13 degC (56 degF). The average rainfall is 178mm (7in) a year.
