Stupid was a short-lived grouping of constructivist artists, formed in Cologne in 1919.
The founding members were Willy Fick, Heinrich Hoerle and his wife Angelika Hoerle (1899–1923), Anton Räderscheidt and his wife Marta Hegemann, and Franz Wilhelm Seiwert.
The Stupid group aimed to address sociopolitical issues through an art of proletarian character.
Seiwert and Räderscheidt were at the time active in the local Dada scene.
Räderscheidt's studio was their base of operations, but by 1920 he had abandoned the constructivist style.
The group  exhibited together and issued a publication, "Stupid 1", before disbanding.

Worry is an emotion.
It means that one feels stressful or he or she is panicking about something.
It is felt as anxiety or concern about a real or imagined issue.
Most people experience short periods of worry in their lives, but it is not normally a problem.
In fact, a small amount of worrying may even have good effects, if it makes people take precautions or be more careful.

Animal colour (or coloration) is produced by light reflecting from an animal's surface.
The ways animals produce colours include pigments, chromatophores and other structures, and bioluminescence.
Since sight is usually so important to animals, and is so often used by predators as a long-range way to find prey, an animal's colour must serve one or more functions.
These functions, such as finding prey, or evading capture, or finding a mate, are absolutely essential for life and survival.
Therefore, animal colour is determined by natural selection because it affects the survival of animals and their offspring.
Camouflage: enabling an animal to remain hidden from view
Warning colouration: signalling to other animals not to attack
Dazzle: confusing a predator by moving a bold pattern (such as zebra stripes) rapidly
Physical protection: such as humans in tropical climates have dark skin pigments which protect against sunburn and skin cancer.
Incidental colouration.
This is common in plants, which have green leaves because chlorophyll is green.
In animals it is rare, such as having red blood (haem, needed to carry oxygen, is red).
However, when the red shows on the surface it is often due to selection, as in human red lips.
Overwhelmingly, the most common function of colour is in predator-prey relationships. "
Anti-predator adaptations occur in every biome of the world and in almost every taxonomic group".
Animal colour has been a topic of interest and research in biology for a long time.
According to Charles Darwin's 1859 theory of natural selection, features such as colouration evolved by providing individual animals with a reproductive advantage.
For example, individuals with slightly better camouflage than others of the same species would, on average, leave more offspring.
Startle and dazzle defences
Animals can have a camouflage defence at distance, but when faced by a predator they may switch to a 'flash' defence to gain time and distract the predator.
The predator often blinks or turns its face away in self-defence.
This is a reflex act which is there to protect its vital facial area.
In the second the predator blinks, the prey flies or jumps, and lands in camouflage again.
This pattern of colour plus behaviour is quite common.
It is called deimatic defence by textbooks, from the Greek for 'dread' or 'to frighten'.
Underclocking is the process of configuring a computer processor or other electronic circuit to operate at a lower speed than usual.
This will reduce the speed of the computer, but it will usually make the battery last longer and the computer will produce less heat.
Some computers automatically underclock themselves when the system is not doing a lot of work.
For even further battery and heat savings a computer can be undervolted, where the processor is operated at a lower voltage than usual.
Other devices such as video cards and smartphones can also be underclocked.
The opposite of underclocking is called overclocking, and it is used to increase the speed of the computer but at the cost of battery life (if there is a battery) and heat output.

Glutamic acid is a non-essential amino acid.
Its salts are known as glutamates.
Glutamate are important neurotransmitters.
They are important for long-term potentiation, learning and memory.
Glutamates are also used as food additives: They make flavour better.
The E numbers 620 to 625 have been assigned to the most important glutamates, for example monosodium glutamate.
They are commonly found in Convenience food and Asian cuisine.
The Twenty-second Amendment to the United States Constitution was an addition to the United States Constitution that put a limit on how many times a person could be elected to be President.
A person is limited to being elected twice, or once if they have already served more than two years as President.
Congress passed the amendment on March 1947.
It was ratified on February 27, 1951.
The President of the United States is elected to have that position for a period, or "term", that lasts for four years.
The Constitution had no limit on how many times a person could be elected as president.
The nation’s first president, George Washington chose not to try to be elected for a third term.
This suggested that two terms were enough for any president.
Washington’s two-term limit became the unwritten rule for all Presidents until 1940.
In 1940, President Franklin D. Roosevelt won a third term.
He also won a fourth term in 1944.
Roosevelt was president through the Great Depression of the 1930s and almost all of World War II.
He held approval ratings in the mid-50% to the low 60% ranges over his many years in office.
Roosevelt died of a cerebral hemorrhage in April 1945, just months after the start of his fourth term.
Soon after, Republicans in Congress began the work of creating Amendment XXII.
Roosevelt was the first and only President to serve more than two terms.
The amendment was passed by Congress in 1947, and was ratified by the states on 27 February 1951.
The Twenty-Second Amendment says a person can only be elected to be president two times for a total of eight years.
It does make it possible for a person to serve up to ten years as president.
This can happen if a person (most likely the Vice-President) takes over for a president who can no longer serve their term.
If this person serves two years or less of the preceding President’s term, they may serve for two more four-year terms.
If they served more than two years of the last President's term, the new President can serve only one full four-year term.
Under the language of the amendment, the President at the time of its ratification (Harry S. Truman) was exempt from the two-term limitation.
Truman served nearly all of Roosevelt's unexpired fourth term and then was elected President once, serving his own four year term.
Criticism and problems
Since 1985, there have been many attempts to either change or remove this amendment.
This began when Ronald Reagan was serving his second term as President.
Since then, changes have been tried from both Democrats and Republicans.
No changes have been made.
There is some debate about how this amendment works with the 12th Amendment.
The 12th Amendment limits who can become Vice-President to only people who meet the requirements of being President.
The central question in this debate is whether the 22nd Amendment is imposing requirements on eligibility for holding the office of President or if it is merely imposing requirements on being elected to the office of President.
One side of the debate argues that the 22nd Amendment explicitly uses the language "No person shall be elected" and is therefore issuing guidance on elections.
The existence of other means of assuming the office (as enumerated in the 20th Amendment, Section 3 and the 25th Amendment) lends support to this argument.
The other side of the debate argues that the 12th Amendment, in describing how elections are to be carried out, is enumerating additional requirement for holding the office of President.
In support of this side of the argument is the fact that the requirements for holding the office of President are not restricted to Article 2 (where the main requirements like age and citizenship are listed).
For example, impeachment is described in Article 1, Section 3 and upon impeachment, conviction, and removal from office a person becomes ineligible to hold the office in the future.
Similarly, the 14th Amendment establishes a requirement that a President must not have fought against the United States or given aid and comfort to its enemies.
These amendments suggest a pattern of enumerating additional requirements for the presidency and proponents of this side of the debate would argue that the 22nd Amendment was intended to add yet another requirement.
People affected
Harry S Truman became President because of the death of Roosevelt.
He served most of Roosevelt's last term as President.
This would have limited him to being elected only one time, but he was not affected since the amendment did not affect the person who was the current President when the amendment was originally proposed by Congress.
Since this provision could only have applied to Truman, it was an obvious effort not to limit him.
Truman did win the election in 1948 but ended his try to be President in 1952 before the election began.
Dwight D. Eisenhower was elected President in 1952 and won a second term in 1956.
He therefore became the first President not allowed to run again because of the amendment.
Lyndon B. Johnson is the only president so far who could have served more than 8 years under this amendment.
He became President in 1963 after John F. Kennedy was assassinated.
He served the last 14 months of Kennedy's term.
Because this was less than two years, he was allowed to be elected for two additional terms.
He won the first term in 1964, but chose not to run for a second term before the elections in 1968.
Richard M. Nixon became the second person not allowed to run again for President when he won the elections in 1968 and 1972, but he was forced to resign due to the Watergate scandal 19 months into his second term.
Gerald Ford became President in 1974 after Nixon left office.
Ford served the last 29 months of Nixon's term.
This meant he could only be elected as president once, but he lost the election to Jimmy Carter in 1976 and did not try to become President again.
Out of the U.S. Presidents that are still alive in 2021, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama could not be elected again because of this amendment.
All of them were elected twice.
Jimmy Carter, Donald Trump and Joe Biden can be elected president again as they have been elected only once.
Text of the 22nd Amendment
This section is the text of the amendment in its original English.
It is not in Simple English.
No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of President more than once.
But this Article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this Article was proposed by Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this Article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.
This Article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several States within seven years from the date of its submission to the States by the Congress.

A thermosetting polymer, also known as a thermoset, is polymer material that irreversibly cures.
The curing may be done by:
heat (generally above )
a chemical reaction (two-part epoxy, for example)
irradiation such as electron beam processing
Thermoset materials are usually liquid or malleable before curing, so they can be molded into their final form.
Others are used as adhesives.
Others are solids.
Some solid thermosetting polymers are used as molding compound in semiconductors and integrated circuits (IC).
Once hardened a thermoset resin cannot be reheated and melted back to a liquid form.
The curing process transforms the resin into a plastic or rubber by a cross-linking process.
Energy and/or catalysts are added that cause the molecular chains to react at chemically active sites (unsaturated or epoxy sites, for example), linking into a rigid, 3-D structure.
The cross-linking forms a molecule with a larger molecular weight, resulting in a material with a higher melting point.
During the reaction, the polymer's molecular weight increases to the point that its melting point is higher than the surrounding ambient temperature.
So, the material forms into a solid material.
Uncontrolled reheating of the material results in reaching the decomposition temperature before the melting point is reached.
So, a thermoset material cannot be melted and re-shaped after it is cured.
This implies that thermosets cannot be recycled, except as filler material.
Thermoset materials are generally stronger than thermoplastic materials due to this three dimensional network of bonds (cross-linking).
Thermoset materials are also better suited to high-temperature applications up to the decomposition temperature.
However, they are more brittle.
Many thermosetting polymers are difficult to recycle.

Emperor Taizong of Tang (born Li Shimin, January 23, 599 – July 10, 649) was the second emperor of the Tang Dynasty of China.
He was the emperor who conquered all of China under Tang control.
His ancestral name is Taizong.
His rule of the Tang Dynasty earned him the nickname of "Rome of the East" by the Romans.
His throne name was Zhenguan.
This was considered one of the best times of rule in China.
Taizong had three siblings: two brothers and a sister.
They were: Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji and Princess Pingyang.

West made the painting in 1770.
It is now in the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa.
The Polo Grounds was a sports stadium in New York City.
It was actually the name of four different stadiums, which were all located in New York.
The first Polo Grounds was the home of the New York Metropolitans baseball team from 1880 to 1885, and the New York Giants also played there.
When this stadium was destroyed in 1889, the Giants moved to a new stadium, which they also called the Polo Grounds.
Finally, in 1890, the Giants moved to the final version of the Polo Grounds, where they stayed until 1957.
The New York Mets played at the Polo Grounds for two years after the Giants moved to San Francisco.
The New York Giants and New York Jets football teams also played at the Polo Grounds, and the New York Yankees played there before Yankee Stadium was built.
The Polo Grounds was torn down in 1964, and apartment buildings are now on the site.

The TCP/IP model (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) is a model with four layers which is for both modelling current Internet architecture, as well as providing a set a rules that govern  all forms of transmission over a network.
DARPA, an agency of the United States Department of Defense,created it in the 1970s.
It evolved from ARPANET, which was an early wide area network and a predecessor of the Internet.
The TCP/IP Model is sometimes called the Internet Model or less often the DoD Model.
This model was being made at the same time as the OSI Model was created.
The TCP/IP model is not the same as the OSI Model, however it was influenced by the model, which is why many names of the different layers are the same.
The TCP/IP model describes a set of general design guidelines and implementations of specific networking protocols to enable computers to communicate over a network.
TCP/IP provides end-to-end connectivity specifying how data should be formatted, addressed, transmitted, routed and received at the destination.
Protocols exist for a variety of different types of communication services between computers.
TCP/IP has four abstraction layers as defined in RFC 1122: link layer, IP layer, transport layer and  application layer.
People often compare this layer architecture with the seven-layer OSI Reference Model; using terms such as Internet reference model.
This is incorrect, however, because it is descriptive while the OSI Reference Model was intended to be prescriptive, hence being a reference model.
Chiropractic is a form of alternative medicine.
A chiropractor is a person who went to school to learn chiropractic.
Chiropractors may diagnose and treat many conditions relating to muscles, joints, and nerves of the body.
They may give what is called an "adjustment" to the body.
An adjustment is a fast short push to an area of the patient's spine or other joints to help their condition.
Chiropractors do not use drugs to treat patients.
They use natural treatments such as nutrition, exercise, physical therapy, adjustments, and massage in order to help their patients.
Chiropractic has changed since it was created over 100 years ago because chiropractors learn new facts and do new research.
Chiropractors have many different ways to treat their patients.
They all use drug free treatments.
Chiropractic is best known for helping people with spine pain, but chiropractors can also help other problems.
There has been a debate as to whether or not chiropractic is classified as Pseudoscience.

Apostatic selection is frequency-dependent selection by predators.
It applies when prey are two or more forms (morphs) which look quite different.
This is a kind of polymorphic species, where the predator learns to select the more common form.
Then there is an advantage in looking different, and this advantage keeps the frequency above the mutation rate.
The second form, or 'morph', becomes better known by predators as its number increases.
So the population tends to have a kind of balance between the frequency of the two morphs.
Apostatic selection is similar to the idea of prey switching.
Apostatic selection is the term used when the different forms are genetic morphs.
In comparison, 'prey switching' is used when describing the predator's choice between different species.
The term above mean sea level (AMSL) is the elevation or altitude used by engineers to determine the coverage area a station will be able to reach.
It is also used in aviation, where most heights are recorded and reported in AMSL (see flight level), and in the atmospheric sciences.
A "mean sea level" is imaginary.
It is not possible to know the average sea level for the entire planet.
The sea level also changes over time when measured in the same place.
The sea moves, high and low pressure zones affect the height, tides change the sea level, and local difference in gravity all affect the sea level.
People can only pick a spot and calculate the mean sea level at that point and use it as a datum.
For example, the British Ordnance Survey uses a datum based on the measurements of mean sea level at a gauge at Newlyn, Cornwall from 1915 to 1921 for their maps of Great Britain.
This datum is actually about 80 cm different from the mean sea level reading on the other side of the country.
An alternative is to base height measurements on an ellipsoid of the entire earth.
GPS and other satellite systems do this.
In aviation, the ellipsoid known as World Geodetic System 84 is increasingly used to define mean sea level.
Another alternative is to use a geoid based datum such as NAVD88.
The protozoan Trichomonas gallinae is a cosmopolitan parasite found in birds.
It most often infects pigeons and doves, but can also affect other birds such as domestic and wild turkeys, chickens and birds of prey.
The disease in pigeons is commonly called canker.
A similar parasite in falcons is called "frounce".
Only Connect is a British television quiz show.
It was first shown on BBC Four on 15 September 2008.
It is presented by Victoria Coren Mitchell.
The programme is in the form of a tournament.
Teams have to find connections between clues.
Radio Timess listings describe it as "a game of patience and lateral thinking".
The phrase "only connect" was first used as the epigraph to E. M. Forster's 1910 novel Howards End.
Each programme has two teams of three people.
They have four rounds of gameplay.
In the first three series, clues in Rounds 1 and 2 and the connecting walls in Round 3 are were shown by Greek letters.
From series 4 Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs have been used instead.
Coren joked that this was because the Greek letters were too pretentious.
Round 1: Connections
Teams are given up to four clues.
They then try to understand the connection between them.
Teams are allowed 40 seconds to guess.
The team is first shown one clue.
They may ask for the other three clues at any time within the 40 seconds.
The team may press their buzzer to guess after the first clue for 5 points, the second for 3, the third for 2, or the fourth for 1.
If the team guesses wrong, or fails to buzz within the 40 seconds allowed, the question is given to the other team for a bonus point.
The other team will be shown all the clues.
There is often one puzzle out of the six with pictures.
Another puzzle will use pieces of music.
Round 2: Sequences
Each set of clues is now a sequence.
Teams must try to work out the fourth item in the sequence.
They do this with as few clues as they can.
They must tell Coren the last item in the sequence.
They will score points even if their theory for the connection is wrong.
Like in the first round, each team will play three sets.
Like in the first round, if one team fails to guess, it is given to the other team.
They can see any clues there are left and earn one point by guessing correctly.
There's one puzzle in this round that uses pictures and more recently music clues have been used in this round.
Round 3: Connecting Wall
Each team is given a wall of 16 clues and must work out the solution, which will be four groups of four connected items.
The puzzles are designed to suggest more connections than actually exist.
Some clues look like they fit into more than one category.
Teams score 1 point for each group found within 2 minutes 30 seconds.
They may make all the guesses they want until they have identified two of the four groups, but have only three guesses for the remaining connections.
Teams can then score 1 additional point for identifying the connection within each group, even if they did not spot them earlier.
Two bonus points, for a total of ten, are earned for getting everything right.
On 1 March 2010, an interactive online version of this round was put on the Only Connect website.
In the Summer of 2011, the website let viewers put their own connecting walls up.
Not all good connecting walls are put on the website.
Connecting walls are now put on the website at the same time as they are shown on the television.
The Connecting Wall is the most popular round on the show.
Round 4: Missing Vowels
In a final buzzer round, the teams are shown a series of word puzzles.
Each puzzle is a word or phrase with the vowels removed and the spaces moved to disguise the original words.
The connection between the puzzles is told before the puzzles are shown.
Teams score 1 point for each puzzle they get right, but lose 1 point for guessing wrong or don't give an answer if they buzz in.
After a wrong answer the other team can take a guess.
The team with the most points at the end of the game goes on to the next round of the tournament.
If teams are tied, then a single puzzle is given to the captains of each team with no category given.
If a captain correctly buzzes in with the correct answer first then their team wins, but an incorrect answer automatically loses the game.

Chromatophores are pigment-containing and light-reflecting cells found in amphibians, fish, reptiles, crustaceans, and cephalopods.
They are largely responsible for generating skin and eye colour in cold-blooded animals.
Some species can rapidly change colour so as to keep in camouflage, or to signal.
They do this by moving pigment and reflective plates in chromatophores.
This process is called physiological colour change.
Cephalopods such as octopus have complex chromatophore organs controlled by muscles to achieve this.
The display is under central nervous control based usually on input from the eyes.
Vertebrates such as chameleons get a similar effect by cell signalling.
Such signals can be hormones or neurotransmitters.
They may be started by changes in mood, temperature, stress or visible changes around the animal.
Cephalopod chromatophores
Colleoid cephalopods have complex organs which they use to change colour rapidly.
This is seen in squid, cuttlefish and octopuses.
Each chromatophore unit is a single chromatophore cell and muscle, nerve, glial and sheath cells.
Inside the chromatophore cell, pigment granules are in an elastic sac.
To change colour the animal changes the sac form or size by muscular contraction.
This changes its appearance.
This differs from the mechanism used in fish, amphibians and reptiles, because the shape of the sac is being changed rather than pigment being moved in the cell.
Octopuses can operate chromatophores in complex, wavelike displays, giving rapidly changing colour schemes.
The nerves that operate the chromatophores are thought to be positioned in the brain in a pattern similar to that of the chromatophores they each control.
This may explain why, as the neurons are activated one after another, the colour change occurs in waves.
Like chameleons, cephalopods use colour change for social interaction.
They are also among the most skilled at camouflage, with the ability to match both the colour and the texture of their local environment with remarkable accuracy.

Tree ferns are a large group of ferns with tree-like form.
They are part of a subclass of ferns which is monophyletic by DNA sequence analysis.
The tree-ferns and some other ferns with creeping rhizome stems make up the Cyatheales group of ferns (as a sub-class or order).
The tree-like habit has evolved a number of times in this group.
They can grow up to 20 metres tall, with their large fronds at the top.
Tree ferns are found growing in tropical and subtropical areas as well as temperate rainforests in Australia, New Zealand, and other island groups nearby.
A few genera extend further, such as Culcita in southern Europe.
Like all ferns, tree ferns reproduce by means of spores developed in sporangia on the undersides of the fronds.
The fronds of tree ferns are usually very large, and multiple-divided fronds.
The young fronds of tree ferns emerge in coils that uncurl as they grow.
Unlike flowering plants, tree ferns do not form new woody tissue in their trunk as they grow.
Rather, the trunk is supported by a fibrous mass of roots that expands as the tree fern grows.
It is not certain how many species of tree fern there are but it is likely to be around a thousand.
New species are discovered in New Guinea with each botanical survey.
Many species must have become extinct in the last century as forest habitats were cut down by people.

Geophysics () is the physics of the Earth and its environment in space.
It is also the study of the Earth by measuring things and collecting data.
Sometimes geophysics means only studying the geology of the earth such as its shape, gravitational and magnetic field, internal structure and composition.
It is can also mean how those create plate tectonics, magmas, volcanism and rock formation.
Some geophysicists now also study the hydrological cycle including snow and ice.
They study how the oceans and the atmosphere move.
They study electricity and magnetism in the atmosphere, ionosphere, and magnetosphere.
How the earth and sun affect each other is also part of geophysics.
Geophysics was only recognized as a special area of study in the 19th century.
But, there were geophysicists in ancient history.
The first magnetic compasses were made in the fourth century BC and the first seismoscope was built in 132 BC.
Isaac Newton applied his theory of mechanics to the tides and the precession of the equinox.
Instruments were developed to measure the Earth's shape, density and gravity field, as well as parts of the water cycle.
In the 20th century, geophysical methods were developed for remote exploration of the solid Earth and the ocean.
Studying geophysics may help with problems such as mineral resources, reducing natural hazards, and protecting the environment.
Geophysical survey data help find petroleum reservoirs, mineral deposits, groundwater, and archaeological relics.
Such data can also tell the thickness of glaciers and soils, and tell which areas have environmental damage that should be fixed.

Andrew John Hilbert (born February 6, 1981) is an American former professional ice hockey forward who played in the National Hockey League.
He was drafted with the 37th overall pick by the Boston Bruins in the 2000 NHL Entry Draft.

A Hilbert space is a mathematical concept covering the extra-dimensional use of Euclidean space—i.e., a space with more than three dimensions.
A Hilbert space uses the mathematics of two and three dimensions to try and describe what happens in greater than three dimensions.
It is named after David Hilbert.
Vector algebra and calculus are methods normally used in the two-dimensional Euclidean plane and three-dimensional space.
In Hilbert spaces, these methods can be used with any finite or infinite number of dimensions.
A Hilbert space is a vector space that has the structure of an inner product that allows length and angle to be measured.
Hilbert spaces also have to be complete, which means that enough limits have to exist for calculus to work.
The earliest Hilbert spaces were studied in the first decade of the 20th century by David Hilbert, Erhard Schmidt, and Frigyes Riesz.
John von Neumann first came up with the name "Hilbert Space".
Hilbert space methods made a big difference to functional analysis.
Hilbert spaces show up a lot in mathematics, physics, and engineering, often as infinite-dimensional function spaces.
They are especially useful for studying partial differential equations, quantum mechanics, Fourier analysis (which includes signal processing and heat transfer).
Hilbert spaces are used in ergodic theory which is the mathematical basis of thermodynamics.
All normal Euclidean spaces are also Hilbert spaces.
Other examples of Hilbert spaces include spaces of square-integrable functions, spaces of sequences, Sobolev spaces made up of generalized functions, and Hardy spaces of holomorphic functions.

The New York Zoo hoax was a false story.
The New York Herald printed an untrue story about a fictional breakout of animals from the Central Park Zoo on November 9, 1874.
It is also known as The Central Park Zoo Escape and the Central Park Menagerie Scare of 1874
The article warned that dangerous animals were loose in the city.
The article said that 49 people died and 200 were injured.
Many readers panicked, even though the end of the story said that everything in it was not true.
The authors later said they wanted to make people pay attention to weak safety precautions at the zoo.
They said they were surprised at the strong reaction to their story.
