Chemical change

A chemical change (chemical reaction) is a change of materials into other materials with different properties.
Chemical changes occur when a substance combines with another to form a new substance, or, chemical decomposition into two or more different substances. These processes are called chemical reactions.
Burning of wood is a chemical change as new substances which cannot be changed back (e.g. carbon dioxide) are formed. For example, if wood is burned in a fireplace, there is not wood anymore but ash. Other examples include burning of a candle, rusting of iron, baking a cake, etc. Special details that describe how a chemical change takes place are called chemical properties.
Compare: physical change. The opposite of a chemical change is a physical change. Physical changes are a change in which no new substances are formed, and the substance which is changed is the same. For instance, if a stick of wood is broken, there is still a stick of wood; it is just broken.
More examples include changes of shape, changes of states, passing electricity through a copper wire, breaking of wood, shattering of glass, pouring of water, etc. Special details which do not change in a substance without new substances being formed are called physical properties.

JSON

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a way of expressing information. JSON is usually easy to understand. It can express information like XML. It is based on JavaScript's notation for object literals. However, JSON is stricter.
JSON and XML are both often used in AJAX. Even though JSON is named after JavaScript, it can be used in other programming languages, such as Python (PHP, etc.)
Example
This is an example of JSON:

JSON Encoding and Decoding in Python
Encoding:

Okinawan language

The Okinawan language (Chong Nawa Kou , Uchinaguchi) is a Ryukyuan language that is spoken in the Okinawa Islands of Japan.
Most linguists say that it branched off from Proto-Japonic, which is the ancestor of Japanese and the Ryukyuan languages. The Japanese government says Okinawan is a dialect of Japanese because of politics.
History
When a group of people called the Yayoi came into the Ryukyu Islands, they brought over a language called Proto-Japonic. This language over time turned into the modern Ryukyuan languages. Proto-Japonic was also spoken in mainland Japan, which turned into Japanese, meaning Japanese and the Ryukyuan languages are related/have the same origin.
Okinawan and other Ryukyuan languages were discriminated by Japan during the Meiji period, making the number of speakers go down. Before that, Okinawan was the official language of the Ryukyu Kingdom.
Classification
Okinawan belongs to the Ryukyuan languages. It is in the northern group with both Kunigami and Amami. Sometimes, Kunigami is listed as a dialect of Okinawan but that view is rare.
Speakers
Most older Okinawans speak Okinawan while younger Okinawans speak Japanese. This is why UNESCO lists Okinawan and the other Ryukyuan languages as "endangered", meaning it's possible for the language to die out in the future.
Sound Changes (Japanese vs. Okinawan)
There are many sound changes between Japanese (Standard) and Okinawan (Shuri-Naha variety):
Japanese "o" - Okinawan "u" (Okinawa = Uchinaa)
Japanese "k" - Okinawan "ch" (Okinawa = Uchinaa)
Japanese "mi" - Okinawan "nn" (minato = nnatu)
Similar sound changes are in other Ryukyuan languages. Kunigami also uses "u" instead of Japanese "o".

Cytology

Cytology is the study of the cells, especially their appearance and structure. Cells are the small parts that make up all living things, and their effects on each other and their environment.
There are two types of cells. Prokaryotic cells do not have a clear and easy-to-see nucleus, and do not have a membrane, or wall, around them. Eukaryotic cells have an easy-to-see nucleus where all of the cell's functions take place, and a membrane around them. The main organelles of a cell and their uses are:
Mitochondria: produces energy for the cell
Endoplasmic reticulum: makes proteins and carbohydrates for the cell to use
Golgi bodies: store and package products that the cell uses
Plastid (present in plant cells only): contains chemicals needed to photosynthesize (create energy from sunlight); in plants only.
Nucleus: directs the actions of the cell
Centrosomes: guides the cell in mitosis and meiosis, the processes for cell division.

Thomas Paine

Thomas Paine (29 January 1737 - 8 June 1809) was an English pamphleteer, revolutionary, inventor, and intellectual. Born in Norfolk, he lived and worked in Britain until he was 37, when he emigrated to the British American colonies during the American Revolution. His main contribution was the powerful, widely-read pamphlet Common Sense (1776). It promoted the idea of colonial America's independence from the United Kingdom of Great Britain. He also wrote The American Crisis (1776-1783), a pro-revolutionary pamphlet series.
Thomas Paine went to France after the American Revolution to join the French Revolution. He wrote The Age of Reason while in prison there. This pamphlet was critical of organized religion. Paine along with other American founders such as Thomas Jefferson and James Madison liked to apply reason to religion instead of revelation. This was part of the greater Age of Enlightenment movement that dated back to about the early 17th century. Paine died at the age of 72, at 59 Grove Street in Greenwich Village, New York City, on the morning of June 8, 1809.
