Scordatura 
 Scordatura in music is a technique in which players of string instruments tune their strings to different notes from a normal tuning.
Scordatura 
 For example: a string tuned to a slightly higher note will sound louder and brighter because it is tighter.
Scordatura 
 Scordatura also made it possible to play unusual chords or combinations of notes in string-crossing (when the bow moves quickly from one string to another).
Scordatura 
 When a composer writes for an instrument using scordatura tuning he shows at the beginning of the music what notes the strings must be tuned to.
Scordatura 
 The music is then written, not as it sounds, but so that the player can read it as if the instrument were being played normally, e.g. if a G string is tuned up to G# and the composer wants a G# he simply writes a G, but it will sound G#.
Scordatura 
 In Sonata XI (called Resurrection) he even asks the violinist to make the two middle strings cross over between the bridge and the tailpiece so that the violin is tuned to two Gs and two Ds.
Scordatura 
 In the classical period a famous example of scordatura is Mozart’s, "Sinfonia Concertante" for Violin, Viola and Orchestra in which he asks the viola to tune all four strings a semitone higher than usual.
Scordatura 
 This makes it sound louder and brighter so that it matches the brightness of the violin, especially as the violin is playing with normal tuning in the key of E flat, which sounds a soft key (because the key of Eflat hardly uses any “open” strings).
Scordatura 
 In his Fourth Symphony Mahler asks the violin soloist (the leader of the orchestra) to play on a violin tuned to Gsharp-D-A-Eflat.
Scordatura 
 The violin soloist needs a second instrument for this, so that he can swap quickly back to a normal violin.
Scordatura 
 Saint-Saëns asks the solo violin in Danse Macabre to tune the E string to Eflat to make it sound like the devil.
Scordatura 
 Zoltán Kodály wrote a sonata in B minor for solo cello, for which the cellist has to tune down the two lower strings to F# and B instead of G and C. This helps to make a very dark, rich sound when playing B minor chords.

Etruscan origins 
 Autochthonous development in situ out of the Villanovan culture, as claimed by the Greek historian Dionysius of Halicarnassus who described the Etruscans as indigenous people who had always lived in Etruria.

 A migration from the Aegean sea, as claimed by a couple of Greek historians: Herodotus, who described them as a group of immigrants from Lydia in Anatolia, and Hellanicus of Lesbos who claimed that the Tyrrhenians were the Pelasgians originally from Thessaly, Greece The third hypotheses is reported by Livy and Pliny the Elder, the  Etruscans as related to Rhaetian people to the north and other populations living in the Alps.
Etruscan origins 
 German linguist Helmut Rix proposed the Tyrsenian language family, with Etruscan related to the Rhaetic language spoken in the Alps north of Etruria, and to the Lemnian language spoken in Lemons.
Etruscan origins 
 In particular the Lemnian language could have arrived in the Aegean Sea during the Late Bronze Age, when Mycenaean rulers recruited groups of mercenaries from Sicily, Sardinia and various parts of the Italian peninsula.
Etruscan origins 
 The latest mtDNA study (2013) suggests that the Etruscans appear to fall very close to a Neolithic population from Central Europe and to other Tuscan populations.
Etruscan language 
 The Etruscan language was spoken and written by the Etruscans in the ancient area of Etruria (what is now Tuscany, western Umbria and northern Latium) and in parts of Lombardy, Veneto and Emilia-Romagna (where the Gauls took the place of the Etruscans), in Italy.
Etruscan language 
 Inscriptions have been found in northwestern and west-central Italy in the region that still has a name that came from the Etruscans, Tuscany (from Latin tusc "Etruscans") and in Latium, north of Rome, in Umbria west of the Tiber, around Capua in Campania and in the Po Valley to the north of Etruria.

Biodiesel 
 Biodiesel is a type of fuel prepared by changing vegetable oil, animal fat, special types of algae and possibly even sewage.
Biodiesel 
 Biofuel prepared from biomass is different since it does not start from oil and uses a different chemical process to make the fuel.
Biodiesel 
 In fact, it cleans the engine so much that it might pull out old dirt in the engine and clog up the filters.
Biodiesel 
 In the United States and several other places, new laws say that regular diesel fuel must be low in sulfur.
Biodiesel 
 This means a lot of farmland is used to grow plants for fuel instead of for feeding animals and people.
Biodiesel 
 There are scientists, chemical engineers and agricultural engineers who are studying ways to use algae and saltwater plants to make oil.
Biodiesel 
 Also, some biodiesel comes from waste oil and waste animal fat, that would otherwise be thrown away.
Biodiesel 
 All diesel fuel has a problem starting an engine in cold weather, but biodiesel has more of a problem.
Biodiesel 
 In Thailand, the raw material will most likely come from palm oil, coconut oil, Jatropha oil, and animal fat.
Biodiesel 
 Some people make their own biodiesel by converting old oil that is used in restaurants to fry foods.
Biodiesel 
 Algae can be grown in places that food cannot be grown in, so it would not take food away from people.
Biodiesel 
 But right now it is still too expensive, but scientists are looking at ways to make the process better.

Age of Empires 
 New, powerful soldiers such as archers (people that shoot with a bow and arrow), cavalry (warriors that ride horses), catapults (machines that throw stones), artillery (big guns that shoot cannon balls) can be used.
Age of Empires 
 All of the Age of Empires games are usually good because the game makes sure no type of soldier is too powerful.
Age of Empires 
 For example, if a group of twenty archers is attacking, the player should fight back with cavalry or artillery.
Age of Empires 
 Because the players start with so much, they can build a huge army very fast, and there are big fights.
Age of Empires 
 Age of Empires can be played online using official multiplayer platforms or programs like GameRanger and Voobly.
