Permian–Triassic extinction event 
 The pattern of extinction is still unclear, as different studies suggest one to three different pulses.
Permian–Triassic extinction event 
 These include: large or multiple meteorite impacts, increased volcanism, sudden release of methane hydrates from the sea floor.
Permian–Triassic extinction event 
 Gradual changes include sea level change, oceanic anoxic events, increasing aridity, and a shift in ocean circulation driven by climate change.
Permian–Triassic extinction event 
 These eruptions, from 251 to 250 million years ago, produced the Siberian Traps, a huge volcanic province in Siberia.
Permian–Triassic extinction event 
 This would certainly have made the world's climate much worse, and is now thought to be the main cause of this great extinction.
Camille Pissarro 
 He later studied and worked alongside Georges Seurat and Paul Signac when he took on the Neo-Impressionist style at the age of 54.
Camille Pissarro 
 In 1873 he helped establish a society of fifteen aspiring artists, holding the group together and encouraging the other members.
Camille Pissarro 
 Art historian John Rewald called Pissarro the “dean of the Impressionist painters", not only because he was the oldest of the group, but also "by virtue of his wisdom and his balanced, kind, and warmhearted personality”.
Camille Pissarro 
 Pissarro is the only artist to have shown his work at all eight Paris Impressionist exhibitions, from 1874 to 1886.
Camille Pissarro 
 He acted as a father figure to the Impressionists and, in varying degress, to all four of the major Post-impressionists including Georges Seurat, Paul Cézanne, Vincent van Gogh and Paul Gauguin.
Camille Pissarro 
 The Franco-Prussian War of 1870–71 compelled Pissarro to flee his home in September 1870; he returned in June 1871 to find that the house, and along with it many of his early paintings, had been destroyed by Prussian soldiers.
Camille Pissarro 
 By December 1870 he and his family had taken refuge in London and settled in Crystal Palace, southwest London.
Camille Pissarro 
 Through the paintings Pissarro completed at this time, he records Sydenham and Norwood at a time when they were just recently connected by railways.
Camille Pissarro 
 One of the largest of these paintings is a view of St. Bartholomew's Church at Lawrie Park Avenue, commonly known as The Avenue, Sydenham, in the collection of the  National Gallery, London.
Camille Pissarro 
 Whilst in Upper Norwood Pissarro was introduced to the art dealer Paul Durand-Ruel, who bought two of his 'London' paintings.
Camille Pissarro 
 Durand-Ruel subsequently became the most important art dealer of the new school of French Impressionism.
Camille Pissarro 
 Returning to France, in 1890 Pissarro again visited England and painted some ten scenes of central London.
Camille Pissarro 
 He came back again in 1892, painting in Kew Gardens and Kew Green, and also in 1897, when he produced several oils of Bedford Park, Chiswick.
Snowball Earth 
 Snowball Earth or Icehouse Earth refers to times when the Earth's surface was nearly or entirely frozen.
Snowball Earth 
 The occurrence of Snowball (or Slushball) Earths is still controversial, but it is now probable that widespread glaciation occurred in periods of the Proterozoic.
Snowball Earth 
 Proponents claim the theory explains sedimentary deposits of glacial origin at tropical latitudes and other enigmatic features of the geological record.
Snowball Earth 
 Opponents do not draw the same inferences from the geological evidence, and doubt the geophysical feasibility of an ice or slush-covered ocean.
Snowball Earth 
 The glacial sediments of the Makganyene formation of South Africa are slightly younger than the Huronian glacial deposits (~2.25 billion years old) and were deposited at tropical latitudes.
Snowball Earth 
 Perhaps the rise of free oxygen that occurred during this part of the Paleoproterozoic removed methane in the atmosphere through oxidation.
Snowball Earth 
 As the Sun was notably weaker at the time, the Earth's climate may have relied on methane, a powerful greenhouse gas, to maintain surface temperatures above freezing.
Snowball Earth 
 In the absence of this methane greenhouse, temperatures plunged and a snowball event could have occurred.
Snowball Earth 
 Of these, the Marinoan was the most significant, and the Sturtian glaciations were also truly widespread.
Snowball Earth 
 The million year long Gaskiers glaciation did not lead to global glaciation, although it was probably as intense as the late Ordovician glaciation.
Snowball Earth 
 It was certainly less significant than the Sturtian or Marinoan glaciations, and probably not global in extent.
Rivallo 
 During the time he ruled he was troubled by disasters: a rain of blood which lasted three days, a terrible plague, and a great swarm of flies.

Niccolò Piccinni 
 Niccolò Piccinni (born Bari, Italy, 16 January 1728; died near Paris, 7 May 1800) was an Italian composer.
Niccolò Piccinni 
 Piccinni’s music is hardly ever played today, but in his day many of his operas were extremely popular.
Niccolò Piccinni 
 He is mainly remembered today because he was invited to Paris where people wanted him to be a rival of Gluck.
Niccolò Piccinni 
 There were lots of arguments between the people who supported Piccinni and those who supported Gluck.
Niccolò Piccinni 
 His father, who was a musician, did not want his son to study music, but the bishop persuaded him to change his mind.
Niccolò Piccinni 
 His opera La Cecchina, ossia la buona Figliuola with a libretto by Goldoni played for two years in Rome and was produced in all the important European capital cities.
Niccolò Piccinni 
 There were a lot of arguments between the people who supported Piccinni and those who supported Gluck.
Niccolò Piccinni 
 In 1784 Piccinni became professor at the Royal School of Music, a school which later became part of the Conservatoire.
Niccolò Piccinni 
 At first he was warmly welcomed by King Ferdinand IV; but when his daughter married a French democrat the Neapolitans were angry.
Niccolò Piccinni 
 For the next nine years he tried to make a living in Venice, Naples and Rome; but he returned in 1798 to Paris, where the public gave him a warm welcome, but he made no money.
Niccolò Piccinni 
 He produced over eighty operas, but although his later work shows the influence of the French and German stage, his music is typical of Italian musicians of the 18th century.
William P. Murphy 
 He won the 1934 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, along with George Whipple and George Minot, for discovering how eating liver could cure anaemia.
Silent Night 
 Frederick William IV of Prussia wanted to know the authors of the song, and asked St. Peter's Archabbey, Salzburg, in 1854.

Paul Dukas 
 Paul Abraham Dukas (October 1, 1865 – May 17, 1935) was a French composer and teacher of classical music.
Paul Dukas 
 He was taught music by Théodore Dubois and Ernest Guiraud at the Conservatoire de Paris, where he became friends with the composer Claude Debussy.
Paul Dukas 
 Although Dukas wrote a lot of music, he destroyed many of his pieces because he was unhappy with them.
Paul Dukas 
 Like Franck's only symphony, Dukas' is in three movements not the usual four: Allegro non troppo, ma con fuoco; Andante espressive e fuoco; Allegro spiritoso.
Paul Dukas 
 In 1897 Dukas wrote another work for orchestra, L'apprenti sorcier (English: The Sorcerer's Apprentice) based on Goethe's poem "Der Zauberlehrling".
Paul Dukas 
 Dukas's use of rhythm and his skill in writing for orchestras can be seen in both the Symphony in C and The Sorcerer's Apprentice.
Paul Dukas 
 For the piano, Dukas wrote two complex and difficult works, a Sonata in E-flat minor (1901) and Variations, interlude and finale on a theme of Rameau (1902), again in the style of Beethoven and Franck.
Paul Dukas 
 The Sonata has not been performed very often, but lately pianists, such as Marc-André Hamelin, have started to add it to their concerts.
Paul Dukas 
 The opera Ariane et Barbe-Bleue ("Ariadne and Bluebeard"), which he wrote between 1899 and 1907, has often been compared to Debussy's Pelléas et Mélisande.
Paul Dukas 
 This is because it is similar in its musical style, and both operas are based on words by Maurice Maeterlinck.
Paul Dukas 
 This is about a man who goes to the Ends of the Earth to find immortality, and finds a mythical Peri, holding The Flower of Immortality.
Paul Dukas 
 Because the opening of the ballet is very quiet, Dukas later added a short 'Fanfare pour preceder La Peri' which gave the usually noisy audiences time to settle in their seats before the main opera began.
Paul Dukas 
 In later life, Dukas became well known as a music teacher, with many famous students including Joaquín Rodrigo, Manuel Ponce, Maurice Duruflé, Xian Xinghai, Olivier Messiaen, Jehan Alain, Carlos Chávez, and David Van Vactor.
List of extinction events 
 After a series of lesser events, the end-Ordovician extinction resulted in an estimated 84% species loss.
List of extinction events 
 Other extinction events in the Phanerozoic also had significant impact on the evolution of the biota.
List of extinction events 
 The climate became much cooler, ice formed on Antarctica, and there was a turnover in aquatic and terrestrial groups.
List of extinction events 
 Extinctions have been claimed for three groups: the acritarchs, trace fossils, and the famous Ediacaran fossils.
Blaise Compaoré 
 Compaoré became president in 1987 after a military coup and the assassination of Thomas Sankara, who was president then.
Blaise Compaoré 
 His attempt to change the constitution to extend his 27-year term caused the 2014 Burkinabé uprising.
Blaise Compaoré 
 The uprising began due to attempts at changing the constitution to allow him to run again and extend his rule.
Blaise Compaoré 
 In August 2021, the prosecutor of the High Court of Justice announced that the trial of members of the government suspected of having played a role in the suppression of the insurgency of 2014 will begin.
Mossi 
 The Mossi are an ethnic group of people who live mostly in Burkina Faso in Africa, and also in Ivory Coast and Ghana.
Mossi 
 The Mossi believe that they came from the marriage of a Dagomba princess called Yennenga (or Nyennega) and a Mandé hunter called Rialé.
Jathera 
 When members of a clan form a new village, they continue to visit the Jathera in the ancestral village.
Jathera 
 If this is not possible, a link is brought from the old Jathera to construct a new Jathera in the new village.
Jathera 
 People visit the Jathera when getting married, on the 15th day of the Indian month, and sometimes on the first Sunday of an Indian month.
Ediacaran 
 The Ediacaran period (about 635–541 million years ago), was named after the Ediacara Hills of South Australia.
Ediacaran 
 The period is famous for the first larger-bodied fossils, which are probably the first recorded metazoans.
Ediacaran 
 The status of the Ediacaran as an official geological period was confirmed in 2004 by the International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS).
Ediacaran 
 The Vendian was a longer period: it included the whole of the Marinoan glaciation, of Snowball Earth fame.
Ediacaran 
 It ended with the first appearance worldwide of some kinds of trace fossils (Trichophycus pedum) at the base of the Cambrian.
Ediacaran 
 The Ediacaran period's start is defined at the base of a carbonate layer, referred to as a "cap carbonate".
Ediacaran biota 
 This geological period was from 635–542 million years ago, but the fossil biota was only from  575–542 million years ago.
Ediacaran biota 
 The biota consists of soft-bodied multicellular organisms, probably animals, which left trace fossils in rocks of Ediacaran age.
Ediacaran biota 
 The standard view is that the traces are fossils of well-known phyla (Cnidaria, annelids, early arthropods) with body plans that disappeared before the Cambrian.p27
Ediacaran biota 
 Before them, for a long period of the Archaean and most of the Protoerozoic, the only fossils were those of bacteria and bacterial mats, a form of life which continues to the present day.
Ediacaran biota 
 The Ediacaran biota is found worldwide, and the most typical forms disappeared just before the Cambrian radiation, which begins with the 'small shelly fossils'.
Ediacaran biota 
 That is probably enough to justify the description of the change as an extinction event, though what caused it is not clear.
Ediacaran biota 
 One suggestion is that the evolution of animals which grazed upon the soft-bodied forms would have been sufficient to cause a collapse of the biota.
Ediacaran biota 
 Narbonne notes the absence of different life and different depths, the apparent absence of burrowing organisms, and the absence of animals capable of preying on the soft-bodied forms.
Ediacaran biota 
 Ediacaran-type fossils are recognised globally in 25 localities, and a variety of depositional conditions, and are commonly grouped into three main types, named after typical localities.
Ediacaran biota 
 Each assemblage occupies its own habitat, and after a burst of diversification changes little for the rest of its existence.
Ediacaran biota 
 The Avalon-type assemblage is defined at Mistaken Point Ecological Reserve in Newfoundland, Canada, the oldest locality with a large quantity of Ediacaran fossils.
Ediacaran biota 
 Ediacara-type assemblage: the Ediacara-type assemblage consists of fossils preserved in areas near the mouths of rivers (prodeltaic).
Ediacaran biota 
 They are found in interbedded sandy and silty layers formed below the normal base of wave-related water motion, in waters shallow enough to be affected by wave motion during storms.
Ediacaran biota 
 Most fossils are preserved as imprints in microbial mats, but a few are preserved within sandy units.
Ediacaran biota 
 Three-dimensional preservation is most common, with organisms preserved in sandy beds containing internal bedding.
Ediacaran biota 
 Since they are found on all continents except Antarctica, geographical boundaries do not appear to be a factor.
Ediacaran biota 
 An analysis of one of the White Sea fossil beds, where the layers cycle from continental seabed to inter-tidal to estuarine and back again a few times, found that a specific set of Ediacaran organisms was associated with each environment.
Ediacaran biota 
 Of 92 possible modes of life — combinations of feeding style, tiering and motility — no more than a dozen are occupied by the end of the Ediacaran.
Ediacaran biota 
 The lack of large-scale predation and vertical burrowing are perhaps the most significant factors limiting the ecological diversity; the emergence of these during the early Cambrian allowed the number of lifestyles occupied to rise to 30.
Antonio de Trueba 
 Antonio de Trueba (24 December 1821-10 March 1889) was a Spanish poet, novelist, and folklorist born at Montellana, Biscay, in 1821 (some sources say 1819), where he was privately educated.
Arrangement (music) 
 An arrangement of a musical composition is a reworking of a piece of music so that it can be played by a different instrument or combination of instruments from the original.
Arrangement (music) 
 For example, a song written for one voice with piano accompaniment might be arranged so that it can be sung in parts by a choir, or a piece for violin might be arranged so that it can be played on a clarinet instead.
Arrangement (music) 
 In music history, composers often published their compositions, saying that the music could be played or sung by various instruments.
Arrangement (music) 
 For example, when English composers published madrigals in the late 16th century they often stated that they could be sung by singers or played on viols (“apt for voices as for viols”).
Arrangement (music) 
 In the Classical music period a composer might publish a sonata, stating that it could be played on the violin or flute or recorder.
Arrangement (music) 
 This helped to sell more copies, because violinists, flautists and recorder players might all want to buy the music.
Arrangement (music) 
 However, when violin or cello music is arranged so that it can be played on a viola, some changes may be necessary as the viola may be playing in a different key, or some chords may be more awkward the way they were originally written.
Arrangement (music) 
 A popular piece such as The Flight of the Bumble Bee by Rimsky-Korsakov can be played by almost any melodic instrument: violin, xylophone, tuba etc.
Arrangement (music) 
 When a piece for choir and orchestra is printed for choir members to use, the orchestral part is printed on two staves so that it can be played on a piano for rehearsals.
Arrangement (music) 
 They did this in order to learn about musical composition, as well as in order to be able to play it on another instrument.
Arrangement (music) 
 For example, Johann Sebastian Bach made arrangements of four concertos by Vivaldi so that they could be played on the organ.
Arrangement (music) 
 Arrangements are often made by people who play instruments that have not had much music written for them.
Arrangement (music) 
 Sometimes composers have made changes to the orchestration of works for orchestra written by others.
Arrangement (music) 
 They may have done this because instruments had changed since the music was written, or simply because they thought they could do it better.
Arrangement (music) 
 For example, Mozart made an arrangement of Handels  Messiah , adding instruments such as clarinets which Handel would not have known.
Arrangement (music) 
 Sometimes arrangements are made of well-known classical pieces in which the music is “jazzed up” or made to sound more popular for movie or theatre performances.
Arrangement (music) 
 Sometimes small vocal groups such as the Swingle Singers make lighthearted versions of works by Bach and others.
Abelian group 
 A group in which the group operation is not commutative is called a ‘non-abelian group’ or ‘non-commutative group’.
Abelian group 
 Identity element There exists an element e in A, such that for all elements a in A, the equation  holds.
Abelian group 
 Inverse element For each a in A, there exists an element b in A such that a • b = b • a = e, where e is the identity element.
Homing pigeon 
 This made it relatively easy to breed from the birds that repeatedly found their way home over long distances.
Homing pigeon 
 This is possible where a message is written on thin light paper (such as cigarette paper) and rolled into a small tube attached to the bird's leg; this is called pigeon post.
Homing pigeon 
 White homing pigeons are used in Release Dove ceremonies at weddings, funerals, and some sporting events.

Transcription (music) 
 A musical transcription is musical notation for an existing piece of music that had been previously unnotated.
Transcription (music) 
 Musicians often disagree about what should be called a “transcription” and what is an “arrangement”.
Transcription (music) 
 Usually transcriptions are a direct notation of the source, whereas a musician who makes an arrangement may insert new interpretations into the music (i.e. changing the instrumentation, reharmonization, or even new sectionalization of the piece as with cover songs).
Transcription (music) 
 A transcription, as Klapuri writes, would require that the pitch, timing, and instrumentation of all sound events to be resolved; difficult as this may be for some cases, this goal is usually redefined such that a transcription constitutes the notation of as many of the constituent sounds as possible or some well-defined part of the music signal (i.e. the dominant melody or the most prominent drum sounds).
Transcription (music) 
 Transcriptions can be created for all kinds of music in order to help the performer to learn the piece.
Transcription (music) 
 Transcriptions are common for music such as jazz (which usually consists of improvisation) and folk, which traditionally is taught from one generation to another by listening and imitating.
Transcription (music) 
 In the early 20th century, some composers became interested in writing down the traditional folk songs of their countries.
Transcription (music) 
 Béla Bartók and Zoltan Kodaly in Hungary as well as Cecil Sharpe and Ralph Vaughan Williams in England notably transcribed various folk songs they heard being sung in the villages of their respective countries.
