New York University 
 In addition to its main campus in New York City, NYU also has degree-granting campuses in Abu Dhabi and Shanghai.
Bee 
 Solitary bees: solitary in the sense that every female is fertile, and usually lives in a nest she builds herself.
Bee 
 There are quite a few of these, for example the carpenter bees, leafcutter bees and mason bees (and there are others).
Bee 
 Bees are generally better at the task than other pollinating insects such as beetles, flies, butterflies and pollen wasps.
Bee 
 The appearance of such floral specialists is believed to have driven the adaptive radiation of the angiosperms, and, in turn, the bees themselves.
Bee 
 The switch from insect prey to pollen may have come from the capture of prey insects that were covered with pollen when they were fed to the wasp larvae.
Bee 
 This same evolutionary scenario has occurred within the vespoid wasps, where the group known as "pollen wasps" also evolved from predatory ancestors.
Bee 
 A recently reported bee fossil, of the genus Melittosphex, is considered "an extinct lineage of pollen-collecting Apoidea, sister-group to the modern bees", and dates from the Lower Cretaceous (~100 mya).
Bee 
 The issue is still under debate, and the phylogenetic relationships among bee families are poorly understood.
Bee 
 Like other insects, the body of a bee can be divided into three parts: the head, thorax (the middle part), and abdomen (the back part).
Bee 
 Once a worker bee has stung it dies after a short while, but other types of bee and wasp can sting again.
Bee 
 Worker bees are females too, and they are the bees that collect pollen from flowers and will fight to protect the colony.
Bee 
 Workers do a waggle dance to tell the others where they have found nectar; Karl von Frisch discovered this.
Bee 
 Because a male has only one copy of each gene, his daughters (which are diploid, with two copies of each gene) share 100% of his genes and 50% of their mother's.
Bee 
 Monogamy (queens mating singly) is the ancestral state for all eusocial species so far known, so it is likely that haplodiploidy contributed to the evolution of eusociality in bees.
Dragonfly 
 They are predators which eat mosquitoes, and other small insects such as flies, bees, ants, and butterflies.
Dragonfly 
 Dragonflies are in one suborder of the Odonata, and their relatives, the damselflies, are in another suborder.
Dragonfly 
 The skin splits at a weak spot behind the head and the adult dragonfly crawls out of its old larval skin, pumps up its wings, and flies off to feed on midges and flies.
Dragonfly 
 Dragonflies experience incomplete metamorphosis: the nymphs (called naiads) swim and live underwater, like fish.
Dragonfly 
 The naiads – which do not look much like dragonflies at all – hatch and immediately take to the water.
Dragonfly 
 While living in the water, the naiads eat as many aquatic insects as possible, as well as other small creatures like tadpoles and minnows.
Dragonfly 
 Naiads live in the water for weeks (or even years in some species) and undergo a series of moults to grow.
Dragonfly 
 When a naiad is ready for its final moult, it finds a stick or other object sticking out of the water.
Dragonfly 
 In flight the adult dragonfly can move in six directions; upward, downward, forward, back, and side to side.
Dragonfly 
 Scientists discovered dragonflies can move each of their four wings independently which gives them their flying abilities.
Dragonfly 
 Dragonflies bend and twist their wings to cause little whirlwinds that move the air even faster over the upper part of the airfoil, reducing air pressure even more than most flying animals can.
Dragonfly 
 Females of this family lack an ovipositor at the end of the abdomen and lay their eggs by dipping the abdomen in the water as they fly over.
Dragonfly 
 The abdomen is raised until its tip points at the sun, minimizing their surface area exposed to the heat.
Dragonfly 
 The species that do this are called 'perchers'; they are "sit and wait" predators which spend much of their time keeping still.
Dragonfly 
 Also, despite their good eyesight, dragonflies apparently cannot see spiders' webs, so they get caught there.
Wind 
 Winds that go on for a long time are called many different things, such as breeze, gale, hurricane, and typhoon.
Wind 
 A High pressure area (that makes an anticyclone) near a low pressure system (that makes a cyclone), makes air move from the high pressure to the low pressure to try to even out the pressures.
Wind 
 In some storms, such as hurricanes, typhoons, cyclones, or tornadoes, it can cause winds faster than 200 mph (320 kilometres per hour ).
Wind 
 When hot air rises, it creates a low pressure underneath it, and air moves in to equalize the pressure.
Wind 
 When cold air drops (because it is denser or heavier than warm air), it creates a high pressure, and flows out to even out the pressure with the low pressure around it.
Wind 
 Sometimes gusts of wind can make poorly made bridges move or be destroyed, like the Tacoma Narrows Bridge in 1940.
Wind 
 No kind of tree can resist hurricane-force winds, but trees with roots that are not very deep can be blown over more easily.
Wind 
 Trees such as eucalyptus, sea hibiscus, and avocado are brittle (easy to break) and are damaged more easily.
Wind 
 The trade winds  are  the prevailing pattern of easterly surface winds found in the tropics, within the lower portion of the Earth's atmosphere.
Wind 
 This wind is caused by the sun, or other stars, and it is made up of particles that came out of the star's atmosphere.
Wind 
 Like solar wind, the planetary wind is made up of light gases that have come out of planets' atmospheres.
Wind 
 Winds of Mars: Aeolian Activity and Landforms – Paper with slides that illustrate the wind activity on the planet Mars
Vertebrate 
 They include the largest animals in each main ecosystem, though not the largest living things (because that would include trees).
Alpha male 
 Some animals live in a social structure where the most powerful male in the group is decided by either fights or very aggressive battles that sometimes end in death (in the wild).
Alpha male 
 The result of this is that the alpha male usually has more opportunity to mate with the available females.
Alpha male 
 This system developed because strong males will produce young which have a better chance for survival.
Alpha male 
 However, this is an extension by metaphor: humans do not have the same mating system as other social mammals.
Alpha male 
 Also, humans generally pair off, and alpha males do not have exclusive rights over all females in a group, except in rare circumstances.
Singapore 
 It is an island state at the southern end of the Malay Peninsula in Asia, between the Straits of Malacca and the South China Sea.
Singapore 
 Present-day Singapore was founded in 1819 by Stamford Raffles as a trading post of the British Empire.
Singapore 
 During the Second World War, Singapore was taken over by Japan in 1942, but returned to British control after Japan surrendered in 1945.
Singapore 
 Singapore started to govern itself in 1959, and in 1963 became part of the new federation of Malaysia, together with Malaya, North Borneo, and Sarawak.
Singapore 
 Political and social differences led to Singapore being removed from the federation two years later, then becoming an independent country on its own.
Singapore 
 Singapore has one of the highest standards of living in the world, with very good education, healthcare, housing, and very low corruption.
Singapore 
 According to the Malay Annals, a Sumatran prince called Sang Nila Utama landed on Temasek (Singapore's old name) and saw a Lion which is called 'Singa' in Malay.
Singapore 
 It is believed that the "lion" was actually a Malayan Tiger, which also exists in neighbouring Malaysia.
Singapore 
 There were also many pieces of old items, such as Chinese coins, that showed that Temasek was an important Asian trading port even before the British rule.
Singapore 
 British governor Stamford Raffles arrived in Singapore on 28 January 1819 and wanted to set up a British trading town.
Singapore 
 At the time, the island was then ruled by Tengku Abdul Rahman, the Sultan of Johor, who the Dutch and the Bugis from Sulawesi had controlled.
Singapore 
 However, the Sultanate was weakened by infighting: the Temenggong (Chief Minister) of Tengku Abdul Rahman, as well as his officials, supported the Sultan's elder brother Tengku Long, who was living in exile in Riau.
Singapore 
 Raffles offered to recognize Tengku Long as the true Sultan of Johor, under the title of Sultan Hussein, as well as giving him $5000 per year and another $3000 to the Temenggong; in return, Sultan Hussein would give the British the right to establish a trading post on Singapore.
Singapore 
 Before Raffles arrived, there were only about a thousand people living on the island, mostly Malays along with a handful of Chinese.
Singapore 
 Later, in the 1890s, when the rubber industry became established in Malaya and Singapore, the island became a global center for sorting rubber and exporting them.
Singapore 
 Singapore was not really affected by the First World War (1914–18), as the conflict did not spread to Southeast Asia.
Singapore 
 The only significant event during the war was the 1915 Singapore Mutiny by Muslim soldiers from British India, who were garrisoned in Singapore.
Singapore 
 After hearing news that they were to be sent to fight the Ottoman Empire in Europe, a Muslim state, the soldiers killed their officers and several British civilians before the mutiny was stopped by non-Muslim troops arriving from Johore and Burma.
Singapore 
 After World War I, the British built the large Singapore Naval Base as part of the defensive Singapore strategy.
Singapore 
 First announced in 1921, the construction of the base went at a slow pace until the Japanese invasion of Manchuria in 1931.
Singapore 
 Costing $60 million and not fully completed in 1938, it was the largest dry dock in the world, the third-largest floating dock, and had enough fuel tanks to support the entire British navy for six months.
Singapore 
 The base was defended by heavy naval guns stationed at Fort Siloso, Fort Canning and Labrador Park, as well as a Royal Air Force airfield at Tengah Air Base.
Singapore 
 Winston Churchill called Singapore the "Gibraltar of the East", and military discussions often referred to the base as just "East of Suez".
Singapore 
 However, the main fleet was in Europe, and the British did not have enough money to build a second fleet to protect their Asian colonies.
Singapore 
 As a result, after World War II broke out in 1939, the fleet was busy defending Britain from Germany, leaving Singapore open for a Japanese invasion.
Singapore 
 Due to the weak defenses of the country, the Japanese attacked Singapore and easily took control of the colony on 15 February 1942.
Singapore 
 Up to 60,000 British soldiers surrendered on that day, and Churchill called it "the worst disaster and largest capitulation in British history".
Singapore 
 There were a lot of losses by both the British and the rest of the Empire, with a total of nearly 85,000 people captured.
Singapore 
 People of Singapore went through hard times during the Japanese rule, until the surrender of the Japanese in September of 1945.
Singapore 
 Many people were tortured or killed by the Japanese as they did not follow the rules properly or because they were suspected of going against the Japanese.
Singapore 
 The Japanese also targeted the Chinese the most; between 5,000 and 25,000 Chinese were killed, now known as the Sook Ching massacre.
Singapore 
 Its purpose was to encourage and supply resistance movements in the enemy-occupied territory and occasionally mount sabotage operations.
Singapore 
 The hard times during World War II made the people think that the British were not as strong as before.
Singapore 
 A few years after the war, In 1963, Singapore joined with Malaya, Sabah and Sarawak to form the new nation of Malaysia.
Singapore 
 However, this was not done and caused arguments between the state government of Singapore and the federal government of Malaysia.
Singapore 
 After Independence, the president of Singapore was Yusof Ishak and its prime minister was Lee Kuan Yew.
Singapore 
 In 1967, Singapore helped to start the Association of Southeast Asian Nations and in 1970 it joined the Non-Aligned Movement.
Singapore 
 Lee Kuan Yew was in charge of the country as Prime Minister of Singapore and saw it become very developed.
Singapore 
 In 1990, Goh Chok Tong replaced Lee Kuan Yew as prime minister, while Lee Kuan Yew became Senior Minister.
Singapore 
 When Goh Chok Tong was Prime Minister, Singapore went through the 1997 Asian financial crisis, the 2003 SARS outbreak and terrorist threats by Jemaah Islamiyah.
Singapore 
 Singapore is a parliamentary republic with a Westminster system of unicameral parliamentary government representing constituencies.
Singapore 
 Singapore is ranked regularly as one of the least corrupt countries in the world, according to Transparency International.
Singapore 
 The president is elected through popular vote, and has some veto powers for a few big decisions such as the use of the national reserves and the appointment of judges, but otherwise occupies a post with little power.
Singapore 
 Elected MPs are voted into parliament on a "first-past-the-post" (plurality) system and represent either single-member or group-representation constituencies.
Singapore 
 Elections are free, and the People's Action Party has won control of Parliament with large majorities in every election since self-governance in 1959.
Singapore 
 In the most recent parliamentary elections in 2020, the largest opposition, led by the Workers' Party, increased its representation in the House to 10 elected MPs out of 93.
Singapore 
 The legal system of Singapore is based on English common law, however with large and important local differences.
Singapore 
 Singapore has laws that include corporal punishment in the form of caning for rape, rioting, vandalism, and some immigration crimes.
Singapore 
 There is a mandatory death penalty for murder, and for certain drug-trafficking and firearms offences.
Singapore 
 In a 2008 survey, international business executives believed Singapore had the best judicial system in Asia.
Singapore 
 Students in Singapore go through six years of compulsory primary school, which ends with all students taking a Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE).
Singapore 
 Then, depending on their results in the PSLE, students are streamed into "Special", "Express", "Normal (Academic)", and "Normal (Technical)" groups.
Singapore 
 The amount of time a student spends studying in Secondary school (4–5 years) depends on their group.
Singapore 
 Students can take a third language as it increases their chances in getting an overseas scholarship and can improve their examination grades, especially in the GCE Ordinary Level ("O" Levels), which are Secondary students take after their five or four years of education.
Singapore 
 After their "O" Levels, students can choose to go to a polytechnic, which is a place where students can study for 3 years for a diploma or to a junior college where students study for 2 years to receive an "A" Level.
Singapore 
 Students can also go to Institutes of Technical Education (ITE), where students study for two years to receive a "National ITE Certificate" (NITEC).
Singapore 
 With either a diploma, or an "A" Level certificate, students can apply to go to universities in Singapore or overseas.
Singapore 
 The Singapore government has chosen four official languages: English, Malay, Chinese (Mandarin), and Tamil.
Singapore 
 The most commonly spoken language amongst Singaporeans in their homes is Chinese (51%), followed by English (32%), Malay (13%) and Tamil (7%).
Singapore 
 However, English has the largest total number of speakers including native and second language speakers.
Singapore 
 Thus, Chinese is the main language of many workers such as hawkers, retail assistants, hairdressers, etc.
Singapore 
 There are many Singapore accents in English because of the many languages and identities of people in the city.
Singapore 
 Languages can even change over the generations and children may speak different languages and have different accents from their mother.
Singapore 
 For example, in a Singaporean Chinese family, the grandmother might speak Hokkien as her first language.
Singapore 
 Differently, the mother might speak Mandarin as her first language and Hokkien/English as her second languages, while the grandson might speak English as his first language and Mandarin as his second language.
Singapore 
 Before independence in 1965, Hokkien, a Chinese dialect, was the common language among the Chinese laborers.
Singapore 
 After independence in 1965, English became the first language of the nation and replaced Hokkien and Malay as the one shared language.
Singapore 
 The Malay used in Singapore (Bahasa Melayu) is closer to the language in Malaysia than the language in Indonesia.
Singapore 
 Singaporean Mandarin is based on simplified Chinese and it is similar to the system used in mainland China.
Singapore 
 The forms of Mandarin spoken in Singapore range from Standard Mandarin to a pidgin known as Singdarin.
Singapore 
 Hokkien used to be a lingua franca among the Singaporean Chinese so many older Singaporeans still understand Hokkien.
Singapore 
 The most common Chinese dialects spoken by Singaporeans are the Hokkien, Hainan, Teochew and Cantonese.
Singapore 
 However, Chinese dialects other than Mandarin are not allowed in the media, so these dialects are quickly dying out.
Singapore 
 However, North Indian languages such as Hindi and Punjabi are also spoken by a small group of Singaporean Indians in Singapore.
Singapore 
 Therefore, Singaporean culture has often been described as a mix of cultures – European, Malay, Chinese, Indian and Peranakan.
Singapore 
 Also, foreigners are 42% of the population in Singapore and they are part of changing Singaporean culture.
Singapore 
 Typical Singaporean food includes: Satay, Nasi lemak, Chilli crab, Kaya toast, and Hainanese chicken rice, Laksa, Fish Head Curry, Hokkien Prawn Meeand Char Kway Teow.
Singapore 
 MediaCorp, the state-owned media corporation, operates all seven local broadcast television channels in Singapore.

Singapore 
 The national airline, Singapore Airlines, has a large global network which brings tourists and business travelers alike, to the city.
Singapore 
 Singapore is made up of 63 islands, including the main island, which is known as Singapore Island to most people, but is also known as Pulau Ujong.
Singapore 
 There are two man-made connections to Johor, Malaysia: the Johor–Singapore Causeway in the north, and the Tuas Second Link in the west.
Singapore 
 Urbanisation has removed most primary rainforest, with Bukit Timah Nature Reserve the only significant remaining forest.
Singapore 
 Even though there is very little primary rainforest left, there are more than 300 parks and four nature reserves in Singapore.
Singapore 
 There are also many trees planted all over Singapore and almost fifty per cent of the country is covered by trees and plants.
Singapore 
 The total land area of Singapore at that time was 581.5 km2 and it has increased to 730 km2 in the 2010s, which is an increase of about 20% in total land area.
Singapore 
 Some land reclamation projects involve joining together smaller islands to make larger islands with more uses, like Jurong Island.
Singapore 
 Singapore uses the landfill method to reclaim the sea at the south of the country, but polders have been recently used too.
Singapore 
 The country's rapid reclamation projects has made disputes with its neighbouring countries, Malaysia and Indonesia.
Singapore 
 It has a tropical rainforest climate (Af in the Köppen climate classification), which means there are no seasons (spring, summer, autumn and winter) in Singapore.
Singapore 
 There is the most rain at the end of the year, and the temperature is usually around 20 °C to 35 °C.
Singapore 
 Although Singapore does not experience the four seasons, the period from May to June is usually warmer, while the period from November to January is cooler because of the more frequent rains and monsoonal winds in Singapore during the year-end.
Singapore 
 Singapore's foreign policy is to maintain a secure environment in Southeast Asia as well as the countries near Southeast Asia.
Singapore 
 Singapore is part of the ASEAN (Association of the South East Asian nations) network, which is an organisation that unites all Southeast Asian countries.
Singapore 
 Singapore is one of the countries that founded ASEAN, and is the most developed country among them all.
Singapore 
 Singapore is also part of the Commonwealth of Nations, which is for countries that used to be under the British's rule.
Singapore 
 There are also school holidays, lasting one week in March and September, about one month in June, and about one and a half months in December.
Singapore 
 Even though it is a small country, Singapore holds many world records with its buildings and people.
Singapore 
 Most of Singapore are well-connected by a railway system known as the Mass Rapid Transit, or MRT in short.
Singapore 
 There is one telephone number to call a taxi, of which the closest taxi from any company will respond.
Singapore 
 The Singaporean land transport system is controlled by the LTA (Land Transport Authority) of Singapore.
Singapore 
 It is in the east of Singapore, with a total of four terminals with airlines flying to many different parts of the world.
Johannesburg 
 It was founded on October 4, 1886 and has the JSE Securities Exchange, which is the largest stock exchange in Africa.
Johannesburg 
 Johannesburg houses the tallest office block in Africa, the Carlton Centre (50 stories) and the tallest tower, the Hillbrow Tower (270 metres, or 90 stories).
Johannesburg 
 The city is nicknamed Egoli or Jozi, which means "place of gold", for the large gold deposit at Witwatersrand.
Johannesburg 
 The Johannesburg Zoo was established in 1904, and historically, it has been owned and run by the city of Johannesburg.
Breakfast 
 In Canada, people usually eat maple cured bacon, fried potatoes, maple-infused beans, eggs, toast, pancakes and maple syrup or hot oatmeal for breakfast.
Breakfast 
 Usually this would be bread, tea, egg, bacon, ham, fruits, baked beans on toast and sometimes vegetables.
Town 
 Generally, a town is smaller than a city and larger than a village, but that is not always the case, and the definition can differ in each country.
Town 
 In many of these towns, town meetings are the main form of government, so citizens can say what happens where they live by direct democracy.
Town 
 Class 8 includes all towns, and it includes all cities with that have less than 6,000 people (Code of Alabama 1975, Section 11-40-12).
Town 
 2nd Class Cities - A city may ask to become a 2nd class city when there are 2,00015,000 people living there.
Town 
 1st Class Cities - A city may ask to become a 1st class city when at least 15,000 people live there.
Town 
 In Louisiana, a "town" is a place that has a city government, and it has 1,0014,999 people living there.
Town 
 In New York, a town is also a smaller part of the county, but it is less important than in New England.
Town 
 Towns provide almost all municipal services to places, called hamlets, that are not in villages, and some services to places that are in villages.
Town 
 But, because villages have power without towns (they are independent) they can be in two towns or even two counties.
Town 
 Everyone in New York State who does not live in an Indian reservation (a special place for American Indians) or a city lives in a town, and perhaps in one of the town's hamlets or villages.
Town 
 A city may be part of a county, but even if it is surrounded by a town that has more people than the city, it is not part of the town.
Town 
 By Virginia law cities are independent of counties (they have power without counties), towns are part of a county.
