Candle

A candle is a stick made of wax with a string (a thin piece of rope) straight in the middle. If someone puts the string on fire, the flame burns slowly but for a long time.
Fire can burn string very fast. But in a candle, the string does not burn fast, because the fire melts the wax instead. The wax sometimes drips down the side of the candle. When the melted wax is far from the flame, it gets hard again, and can be used again in a new candle.
The flame is very hot, since it is a very small, real fire. The light blue part of the flame can be as hot as . It can still burn people and things. If the fire spreads, it can grow into a very big fire and even burn down a house or building.
If the flame is kept on the candle long enough, the candle will slowly get shorter and shorter until it is gone. The fire on a candle can be put out by blowing air on it. There is also a special tool called a "candle snuffer" that covers the fire with a small metal cup and puts it out. Today, candle snuffers are usually only used in churches or in places where candles are up very high. Stopping the fire stops the candle from burning until it is all gone.
Before light bulbs, candles were used so people could see at night. Some people still use candles today when electricity is down, or because they like the little amount of light that candles make. Some people also like candles because they look nice, or because they smell nice. A special kind of candle called "citronella" can help keep bugs away.

Worms, Germany

Worms (pronounced /voams/) is a city in southwestern Germany in the federal state of Rhineland-Palatinate (Rheinland-Pfalz). It lies on the River Rhine. Worms is famous for its local Liebfraumilch wine. It is an industrial center, producing chemicals and metal goods. At the end of 2004, it had 85,829 inhabitants.
Along with Cologne and Trier, Worms is one the oldest cities in Germany. But, there is a disagreement which of the three is actually the oldest. The town is mentioned in the Nibelungenlied, an old Germanic saga. The town was also very important because of Martin Luther who defended his case against the emperor Charles V in Worms.
The Cathedral of Saint Peter is a very large church in the town. It is one of only three Romanesque cathedrals in Germany. The other two are in Mainz and Speyer. The Worms cathedral is one of the most important Romanesque buildings in Germany.

Myosin

A myosin is a group of specialized proteins used for muscle contraction and motion in eukaryotic cells. Myosins need adenosine triphosphate for energy to do these functions. A large number of different myosin genes have been discovered in eukaryotes.
The structure and function of myosin is strongly conserved across species. For example, Rabbit muscle myosin II will bind to actin from an amoeba.<ref name="McMahon">McMahon, T. A. 1984. Muscles, reflexes and locomotion'. Princeton University Press. </ref>
Structure and function
Parts
Most myosin molecules are composed of a head part, a neck part, and a tail part.
The head part grabs onto the actin, and uses energy from ATP to pull, making the muscle shorter.
the neck part acts as a lever.
The tail part'' mostly interacts with other molecules or other myosin subunits. In some cases, the tail part may help regulate movement.
Power stroke
Many myosin molecules can make muscles get shorter using the energy released from breaking apart ATP molecules into ADP molecules and a phosphate group. The power stroke happens when a phosphate that n broken off gets released from the myosin. This makes the myosin change shape so that it pulls against the actin. When the ADP molecule is released and a new ATP molecule joins onto the myosin head, the head releases from the actin. The myosin breaks the new ATP and the cycle keeps going. The combined effect of all the power strokes from all the different myosin molecules makes the muscle get shorter.

Kansas–Nebraska Act

The Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 made the territories of Kansas and Nebraska, allowing the states to vote on whether slavery was legal or not. This law canceled the Missouri Compromise, which declared that slavery was not legal in those areas. It was passed on May 30, 1854. The Kansas-Nebraska Act angered many in the North who considered the Missouri Compromise to be a long-standing agreement. In the pro-slavery South, it was strongly supported.
After the Kansas-Nebraska Act was passed, pro-slavery and anti-slavery supporters rushed in to settle Kansas to affect the outcome of the first election held after the new law went into effect. Pro-slavery settlers carried the election but anti-slavery settlers claimed the results were fraudulent, and did not accept defeat. The resulting fighting in Kansas gave it the nickname "Bleeding Kansas".

Tony Mendez

Antonio Joseph Mendez (November 15, 1940 - January 19, 2019) was an American technical operations officer for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). He worked in support of covert CIA operations. He wrote three memoirs about his CIA experiences.
Mendez was known for his on-the-scene management of the "Canadian Caper" during the Iran hostage crisis. He helped rescue six American diplomats from Iran in January 1980 by arranging to have them pose as a Canadian movie crew. As part of their cover, the diplomats carried passports issued by the Canadian government to document them as Canadian citizens. This was loosely made into the 2012 Academy Award-winning movie Argo.
In 2009, Mendez was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. He died on January 19, 2019 from complications of the disease in Frederick, Maryland, aged 78.

Self-synchronizing code

Self-synchronizing code is a special kind of line code that is easy to synchronize (having two computers "stay in time with" each other when "communicating"). Code like this happens in telecommunications.
Information on computers is made from binary bits - 0's and 1's (OFFs and ONs). This means that when a computer is being "communicated to", it must "listen" for bits at the correct speed by staying synchronized, or else there will be a misunderstanding. A computer needs to notice misunderstandings immediately, so that wrong things don't happen.
Confusion can happen when two signals combine or misalign, so it's helpful for different "words" in a code to be unique from each other.
Example
Imagine a language with the only "letters" being 0 and 1, and no spaces or other symbols.
This language only has "words" with exactly two letters.
This means that computers "reading" this language would start "reading" the "sentence" at the first two letters, then the next two letters, and so on.
Two computers, Alice and Bob, have to say the sentence 1100001100 to each other, and it needs to be understood as .
Alice says the sentence to Bob correctly.
Bob's "sentence" gets de-synchronized on its way to Alice, and the first "letter" gets chopped off. This turns the "sentence" into 100001100.
Code A: self-synchronizing
Imagine the language only has the words and .
Alice's sentence 1100001100 is heard by Bob as "11, 00, 00, 11, 00", meaning .
When Bob's sentence 100001100 is heard by Alice as "10, 00, 01, 10, 0", Alice knows there's been a misunderstanding at the very beginning, because "10" is not a word in its "language" code.
Code B is self-synchronizing, because its "words" are very different from each other, and hard to confuse with each other.
Code B: not self-synchronizing
Imagine the language has the words , , and .
Alice's sentence 1100001100 is heard by Bob as "11, 00, 00, 11, 00", meaning .
When Bob's sentence 100001100 is heard by Alice as "10, 00, 01, 10, 0", it doesn't realize there's been a misunderstanding until it hears the third "word" "01". By that time, it's already heard .
Code B is not self-synchronizing, because its "words" are too similar to each other, and easy to confuse with each other.

Continental Airlines

Continental Airlines was an American airline based and headquartered in downtown Houston, Texas. It was founded in 1937. It was the fourth-largest airline in the US based on revenue passenger miles. Since 1998, Continental's marketing slogan had been Work Hard, Fly Right. Continental Airlines announced on Monday, May 3, 2010, that they were merging with United Airlines. The merger was approved in September 2010, and the parent company changed its name to United Continental Holdings when United completed its acquisition of Continental. The combined airline takes the United Airlines name but uses Continental's globe and livery. There has been negative reaction to the new livery, many of whom were in favor of keeping the iconic "tulip" logo, designed by Saul Bass in 1973.
Continental operated flights to destinations throughout the U.S., Canada, Latin America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific regions. Together with its subsidiaries it had more than 2,423 daily departures, serving 130 domestic and 132 international destinations and had 42,210 employees (as of December 2009). Principal operations were from its three hubs at Newark Liberty International Airport, George Bush Intercontinental Airport, and Cleveland Hopkins International Airport. Continental Micronesia, owned by Continental, operated routes around Micronesia from its hub at Antonio B. Won Pat International Airport in Guam, and connected the Micronesian region with destinations in East Asia, Southeast Asia, Honolulu and Cairns, Australia.

Marie-Antoine Carême

Marie Antoine (Antonin) Careme (8 June 1784 - 12 January 1833), was a French chef and author.
He is well known for greatly simplifying and writing about the style of cooking known as haute cuisine, the high art of French cooking. He was known as "chef of kings and king of chefs", because he cooked for royalty, and is often thought of as the first celebrity chef.
Biography
Careme was born Paris, but was abandoned in 1792 because his parents were very poor. He worked as a kitchen boy at a cheap Paris cafe in exchange for a room and food. In 1798, he was apprenticed to Sylvain Bailly, a famous patissier (cake baker) with a shop near the Palais-Royal.
Careme gained fame in Paris for his cake centrepieces, which Bailly put in the patisserie window. The centerpieces were sometimes several feet high, and were only made out of foodstuffs such as sugar, marzipan, and pastry. He modelled them on temples, pyramids, and ancient ruins which he read about in the books he studied at the French national library (Bibliotheque Nationale). Some of his sugar works were so strong that court jesters could dance on them to entertain the king.
Careme also worked for other people, for example the French diplomat and gourmand Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Perigord, and other members of Parisian high society, including Napoleon. When he worked in the private kitchens he quickly learned about main courses.
Napoleon was not interested in having fancy food, but he knew of social contacts that were important for diplomats. In 1804, he gave Talleyrand money to buy Chateau de Valencay. When Talleyrand moved there, he took Careme with him.
Careme was set a test by Talleyrand: he had to create a whole year's worth of menus, without repeating them, and use only food that was in season. Careme passed the test and finished his training in Talleyrand's kitchens. When Napoleon was defeated Careme went to London for a time and served as chef de cuisine to the Prince Regent, later George IV. He returned to Europe to work for Czar Alexander I in St. Petersburg, before returning to Paris, where he was chef to banker James Mayer Rothschild.
He died in Paris at the age of 48, and is buried in the Cimetiere de Montmartre in Montmartre.
Influence
Talleyrand encouraged Careme to start a new refined style of eating.
Careme's is said to have started service a la russe (serving each course in the order printed on the menu) instead of service a la francaise (serving all dishes at once)

Banh mi

Banh mi is a Vietnamese sandwich. The word banh mi literally means "bread" in Vietnamese, but it can also mean "sandwich", since sandwiches are made of bread. It often has ingredients such as herbs, meats, vegetables and sauces that are often found in Vietnam. It is a food that was created because of French influence in Vietnam. When Vietnam was part of the colony French Indochina, French colonists taught the Vietnamese how to make bread. Unlike French bread, banh mi has rice flour in it.
History
In Vietnamese, banh is a word that refers to baked goods and mi means "wheat".
Back then, wheat flour had to be imported from Europe so it was very expensive. Some people mixed it with rice flour, which was cheaper because it was made in the country. The rice flour also made the bread fluffier. This was how Vietnamese banh mi was made.
After the Vietnam War, many Vietnamese refugees moved to other countries and opened up banh mi shops.
Sandwich
A Vietnamese banh mi sandwich is made of bread and fillings.
Meat
A banh mi might have pork in it.
Vegetables
Picked carrot and radish, jalapeno, cucumber, and cilantro are some vegetables put into banh mi.
Sauces
Some sauces put into banh mi are mayonnaise and liver pate.
