Heckler & Koch MSG90

The Heckler & Koch MSG90 is a semi-automatic military sniper rifle. It is based on the PSG-1 from Heckler & Koch. The MSG90 shoots 7.62x51mm NATO ammunition. MSG90 stands for Militarisches Scharfschutzengewehr. The 1990 part is the year was the sniper rifle was made.
History
The Heckler & Koch MSG90 was first introduced in 1987. It uses a delayed blowback design the same as many other H&K rifles. Based on the Heckler & Koch PSG1, it is designed for military and police use. It was designed to meet the military specifications of the US Army's M24 Sniper Weapon System.
It has several improvements over the PSG1. The barrel is lighter and shorter. It is made using the cold hammer forging process. The stock is adjustable and of a different shape. The trigger is wider and has a trigger pull set from the factory. It does not have open sights but comes with a 10-power Telescopic sight.
Where the PSG1 did not stand up to rough handling on the battlefield, the MSG90 is designed just for that kind of service. The model MSG90A1 has a threaded barrel designed to accept a suppressor. The later MSG90A2 was a lighter and sturdier design.

Sandstone universities

The sandstone universities are a group of Australian universities. All were founded more than 100 years ago.
The universities in the group have buildings made mostly of sandstone. Some universities, such as the private Bond University, have sandstone-plated buildings, but are not considered sandstone universities.
These universities focus on research. Their courses have a strong emphasis on theory rather than practice. Students who enter the sandstone universities come from higher income families, and graduates usually have higher paid occupations or positions of influence. This prompts claims of elitism and social division.
The first university to be established in Australia was the University of Sydney in New South Wales in 1850. It was quickly followed by the University of Melbourne in 1853.
The richest university is the University of Sydney with endowments of about 2.5 billion dollars (annual reports). The least well endowed university in the group is the University of Tasmania with $561 million.

Islam in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Islam in Bosnia and Herzegovina has a rich and longstanding history in the country. It was introduced in the 15th and 16th centuries because of the Ottoman conquests of the Balkans. There are today around 3.5 million Bosnian Muslims or Bosniaks around the world, including the large number who left the country during the Bosnian war. Well over two million Bosnian Muslims live in their native Bosnia and Herzegovina. They are 45-48 percent of the country's population, therefore the largest homogenous ethnic group. The modern Bosnian Muslims are often referred to as Bosniaks. They descend from Bosnjani who accepted Islam in the 15th century, and throughout the Ottoman rule of the country in general. Bosniaks are overwhelmingly Sunni Muslims.

Tepuihyla shushupe

Tepuihyla shushupe is a frog. Scientists have seen it in exactly one place: high up in the rivers Ere and Campuya. This is in Peru but near Colombia. They saw it 145 meters above sea level.
Appearance
The adult male frog is about 85.4 mm long from nose to rear end and the adult female frog is about 85.7 mm long. The iris of the eye is whitish in color with red around the outside. The scientists looked at living frogs. They saw they were light green in color on the back and yellow-green on the belly. This frog has bumps on its skin. There is dark brown color on the back of each bump. Parts of the legs are whitish in color and parts are yellow-green. This frog has extra skin on the sides of all four legs.
Home
This frog lives on high places where the ground is flat There are many dead leaves on the ground, many tree roots, and small wet places nearby. When scientists caught the first frog to examine, it was sitting in a hole in a tree.
Name
The scientists named this frog shushupe because that is like the name of a snake in the language spoken by the humans who live nearby. This snake's scientific name is Lachesis muta. Stories say that this snake can sing. Lachesis muta lives in the same places as Tepuihyla shushupe. Scientists think people heard the frog sing and thought it was the snake singing.

The word is also sometimes used in the USA as jargon for the second album released by a musician or group, the second movie of a director, or the second season of a professional athlete.
Etymology
The etymology is from Greek, sophisma 'clever device' from sophizesthai 'to devise, become wise', and the original English spelling was "Sophumer". It was not until 1726 that the spelling was established in America as "sophomore."
Education
High school
In the United States, the 10th grade is usually the second year of a student's high school period and is referred to as sophomore year. High school sophomores are expected to begin preparing for the college application process, including reducing and focusing their extracurricular activities. Most students reach the age of 16 while sophomores, and so the year is considered a watermark for independence, closely connected with the acquisition of a driver's license in most states. Whereas it was once primarily taken by students in the 11th grade, the PSAT, a college preparatory exam taken across the U.S., is now most commonly taken during a student's sophomore year. Students at this level are also considered to be developing greater ability for abstract thinking.
College
In the U.S., colleges generally require students to declare an academic major by the end of their sophomore year. College sophomores are advised to begin thinking about career options and to get involved in volunteering or social organizations on or near campus.

Kill switch

A kill switch, sometimes called an emergency stop, is a part of a user interface. User interfaces allow people to operate machines. The kill switch is there for security. Its purpose is to switch off the machine as quickly as possible, or to bring it into a state where it can no longer do harm. It is used in an emergency. In many ways, switching off the machine in an emergency is different from switching it off normally, as it has to avoid injury or harm at all costs.

Arc flash

Arc flash is an accidental electrical explosion usually caused by a short circuit. It usually happens at higher-voltages (around 300 volts and above). It can cause the electrical conductors to melt creating an explosion of molten or even vaporized metal. Temperatures can be as high as 20000 degrees Celsius. Arc flash is one of the reasons it is so important to turn the power off before working on any high-voltage equipment.

Vasca Votiva

Vasca Votiva, or Noceto Vasca Votiva, is an archaeological feature in northern Italy. The archaeologists studying this feature think it is a votive or sacred tank.
Structure
The structure is on the top of a hill, near the town of Noceto in the Po (river) valley. It was found in 2004. Using dendrochrology and radiocarbon dating, archaeologists have calculated that the structure was built in 1432 BC (plus or minus 4 years). The Vasca Votiva was a tank lined with logs and boards. The structure is 12 meters by 7 meters and about 3 meters deep. The scientists know it contained water because there were layers of sediment in it. Because there are no channels for water to flow out, the scientists think it had a ritual, or religious function. The intentional depositing of ceramic vessels supports this interpretation. The period when the structure was built was the Bronze Age. At this time, the culture of this region, the Terramare culture was changing a lot. The society was changing from mostly individual little farms to larger communities. Plowing and irrigation were increasingly used.
There were many artifacts that had been placed in the tank at different times. These were made of stone, wood, other plant material, and fired clay. The archaeologists recovered "about 150 whole vases, 25 miniature vessels, 7 clay figurines, numerous examples of baskets, handles or bands, spindles, shovels and four plows or parts of these made of wood or other vegetal tissue"
Interestingly, there was an older tank underneath. It had been built about ten years earlier. It had collapsed during or shortly after construction. Some of its materials were re-used in the later tank.

Scientific revolution

The scientific revolution was a time (1550-1700) following the Middle Ages and the Renaissance when many discoveries were made. During this time, new ideas and discoveries fundamentally changed the way people thought; they also forced people to think differently, and started what is called science today. Better printing presses after Johannes Gutenberg's time caused a great rise in publishing. This period roughly lasted from the 16th to the 18th century.
Galileo Galilei invented kinematics and disproved Aristotle's old theory of gravity. One of his students said he dropped two balls of iron (one weighing one pound, the other a hundred) off the leaning tower of Pisa. The objects fell at the same speed which brought about new methods of thinking in that time period. In 1542, Nicolaus Copernicus published his work On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres, in which he said that not the earth, but the sun was at the center of the universe. This theory is known as Heliocentrism today. In the same year, Andreas Vesalius pubilshed his work On the Structure of the Human Body. This book is about the anatomy of the human body.
The philosopher Alexandre Koyre (18921964) first used the term 'scientific revolution' for this time period.

Killing of Daunte Wright

On April 11, 2021 at around 2:00 p.m. EST, Daunte Wright, a 20-year-old black man, was shot and killed by police in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota as he attempted to re-enter his vehicle during a traffic stop. Wright drove several blocks before crashing his vehicle into another and was pronounced dead at the scene. The shooting sparked protests and demonstrations around the city, including looting and arson, leading to a city-wide curfew. The shooting occurred just 10 miles from the scene of the killing of George Floyd a year prior.
Incident
At around 2:00 local time on April 11, 2021, Brooklyn Center police pulled over Daunte Wright for having air freshener hanging from the rear-view mirror. During the stop, officers determined that Wright had an outstanding warrant and tried to detain him. Wright attempted to re-enter his vehicle and was shot by one of the officers. Wright drove away in his vehicle, making it a few blocks away before colliding with another vehicle. Officers administered CPR, but Wright was subsequently declared dead at the scene. A female passenger in the vehicle, Wright's girlfriend, was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.
Protests and violence
Following the shooting, mourners and protesters gathered near the scene, demanding justice for Wright. Police with riot control equipment attempted to restrain the crowd of several hundred people outside of a police precinct. Some in the crowd became unruly, hurling projectiles such as rocks at officers. There was also looting and arson, as more than 20 businesses were damaged in the riot, and police vehicles were vandalized as well.
Response
Brooklyn Center Mayor Mike Elliott issued a city-wide curfew until 6:00 a.m. the following morning and local schools were closed, with students instead attending virtually. The National Guard was activated to assist with dispelling the violence.
