The city was damaged during earthquakes in 1913 and 1915.
During the 1930s, the Italians made many chances to how Asmara looked.
Many new buildings were created during this time and the city was mainly populated by Italian colonists (in 1940 there were 57000 Italian residents on a total population of 98000).
These buildings were built in the same style as Italian buildings.
This gave Asmara the look of an Italian city: that is why sometimes the city is nicknamed "Piccola Roma since then.
Today many of the buildings and stores in Asmara still have Italian names.
During World War II, after the defeat of Italy in Africa, Asmara was under British rule.
In 1952, the United Nations placed the country and Asmara under Ethiopian control.
In the 1960s, the Eritrean people started fighting for independence from Ethiopia.
This bloody war lasted until 1991.
Asmara was given back to the Eritrean people on May 24, 1991.
In July 2017 Asmara has been declared World Heritage Site by the UNESCO.

The 2002 Atlantic hurricane season was a buzzword used to reference all of the hurricanes happening in 2012.
The season officially began on June 1 and ended on November 30.
In total, 12 named storms and 4 other hurricanes formed.
Because of an El Nino event happening in the Pacific Ocean, the season ended early on October 16 when the last storm died out.
Although most of the season remained quiet, it was very active during the month of September and broke the record of the most number of storms forming in September.
The most notable hurricanes were Hurricane Lili which was the strongest and deadliest storm of the season, and Hurricane Isidore which killed a total of 7 people in Louisiana.
Tropical Depression One formed offshore North Carolina.
One became Tropical Storm Arthur.
Tropical Storm Arthur crossed part of the Atlantic moving northeast.
Arthur curved north after moving northeast.
Arthur started dying but Arthur made landfall in Newfoundland before completely dying on July 16.
Tropical Storm Bertha
Bertha formed very quickly into a tropical storm from a tropical depression on August 4.
Only two hours after that Bertha made landfall in Boothville, Louisiana.
Over Louisiana it weakened to a tropical depression.
Bertha went back into the Gulf of Mexico but did not become a tropical storm again.
On September 9 Bertha made landfall again near Kingsville, Texas, Bertha died only ten hours later.
Bertha left only $200,000 in damage and killed only 1 person.
Tropical Storm Cristobal
Tropical Storm Cristobal was a cyclone that formed in August 2002.
It stayed away from land for most of its life.
However, when it died out, what was left of the storm caused rain and wind on Bermuda.
It also caused stormy seas that caused three people to drown near Long Island.
No severe damage happened.
Tropical Storm Dolly
Tropical Storm Dolly formed on August 29 as Tropical Depression Four.
Four became a Tropical Storm Dolly before dying on September 4.
Tropical Storm Dolly did not affect land during her lifetime.
Tropical Storm Edouard
Edouard formed on September 1 as Tropical Depression Five.
Five because a tropical storm.
Edouard made a loop and weakened.
Edouard made landfall in Ormond Beach, Florida on September 5 as a very weak tropical storm.
Edouard died after crossing Florida.
No one knows the damage and no one was killed by Edouard.
Tropical Storm Fay
On September 5 Tropical Depression Six formed.
It moved slowly and became Tropical Storm Fay the next day.
On September 7 Fay made landfall near Port O'Connor, Texas.
Fay moved over Texas into Mexico and did not completely die until September 11.
Tropical Depression Seven
Tropical Depression Seven formed from a tropical wave on September 7.
It had a maximum wind speed of 35 mph and a minimum pressure of 1013 mbar.
It moved usually west, and was later torn apart by wind shear on September 8.
It did not have an effect on land.
On September 8 Subtropical Depression Eight formed.
Eight became a subtropical storm and was named Gustav.
After that Gustav became a tropical storm.
Tropical Storm Gustav moved very close to Cape Hatteras, North Carolina.
Gustav moved away and became a hurricane on September 11.
Gustav then moved very fast and made landfall over Nova Scotia and Newfoundland before Gustav died on September 12.
Since Gustav became a hurricane on September 11 it was the latest day ever for a tropical storm to become a hurricane in the Atlantic.
Gustav killed 4 people and left $340,000 in damage.
Tropical Storm Hanna
Tropical Storm Hanna formed in the as Tropical Depression Nine.
Nine quickly became Tropical Storm Hanna before making landfall near the border of Mississippi and Alabama on September 14.
Hanna left $20 million in damage and killed 3 people.
Isidore started as Tropical Depression Ten on September 14.
Ten crossed Venezuela not long after forming.
Because it stay over and near Venezuela Ten fell apart and was not a tropical depression after that.
The remains became Tropical Depression Ten again on September 17.
The next day Ten became Tropical Storm Isidore.
Isidore later on became a hurricane and moved slowly over Cuba and the Yucatán Peninsula.
The storm made landfall in Louisiana as a tropical storm on September 26.
Isidore fell apart again and was last seen on September 27 before it went into a frontal zone in Pennsylvania.
Isidore left $1.3 billion in damage and 22 deaths.
No one knows the damage in Cuba.
Tropical Storm Josephine
Tropical Storm Josephine was a weak tropical storm that formed on September 17 as Tropical Depression Eleven.

Hurricane Kyle lasted more than 3 weeks.
Hurricane Kyle started as a Subtropical Depression on September 20.
It became a subtropical storm, then a tropical storm, and after that, a hurricane.
It weakened back to a tropical storm and down to a tropical depression.
It became a tropical storm again and made a landfall in McClellanville, South Carolina.
Kyle made its second and last landfall in Long Beach, North Carolina on the same day.
Kyle left only $5 million in damage and killed only 1 person.
Hurricane Lili
Hurricane Lili formed on September 21 as Tropical Depression Thirteen.
It became a tropical storm on September 23, then it became a tropical wave on September and was not a tropical storm anymore.
It reformed and became a tropical depression on September 28.
Lili became a tropical storm again and a hurricane on September 30.
Lili later made landfall in Cuba and Louisiana.
Lili left almost $1 billion in damage and killed 15 people.
Tropical Depression Fourteen
Tropical Depression Fourteen formed from a tropical wave on October 14.
It had maximum wind speeds of 35 mph, and a minimum pressure of 1002 mbar.
For most of the time, it was predicted to become a tropical storm, and to go up through the Bahamas.
However, strong wind shear from the northeast did not allow development, and after making landfall in southern Cuba on October 16, it was destroyed by a cold front.
Although it created heavy rains, there was no damage.
This is the list of names that were set aside for the Atlantic in 2002.
Names that were not used are marked in .

Cyanobacteria are a taxon of bacteria which conduct photosynthesis.
They are not algae, though they were once called blue-green algae.
It is a phylum of bacteria, with about 1500 species.
In endosymbiont theory, chloroplasts (plastids) are descended from cyanobacteria.
Their DNA profile is evidence for this.
Cyanobacteria have an extremely long fossil record, starting  at least 3,500 million years ago.
They were the main organisms in the stromatolites of the Archaean and Proterozoic eons.
The ability of cyanobacteria to perform oxygenic photosynthesis is highly significant.
The early atmosphere on Earth was largely reducing, that is, without oxygen.
The cyanobacteria in stromatolites were the first known organisms to photosynthesise and produce free oxygen.
After about a billion years, the effect of this photosynthesis began a huge change in the atmosphere.
The process, called the Great Oxygenation Event, took a long time.
Eventually, it killed off most of the organisms which could not live in oxygen, and led to the kinds of environment we know today, where most organisms use and need oxygen.
Light detection
Cyanobacteria have a way of detecting light.
Conrad Mullineaux, of Queen Mary University of London, said, "It has a way of detecting where the light is; we know that because of the direction that it moves".
"In a single-celled pond slime, they observed how incoming rays are bent by the bug's spherical surface and focused in a spot on the far side of the cell.
By shuffling along in the opposite direction to that bright spot, the microbe moves towards the light".
A teletypewriter (TTY; also called a teletype or teleprinter) is a device that sends a typed message to another place.
A teletypewriter has a typewriter keyboard, a local printer (so the user can see what has been typed) and a transmitter.
Messages can be sent over wires or radio waves.
Teletypes were used mostly in the early to mid-20th century.
They were developed to improve telegraphs, some of which also used keyboards, though not typewriter keyboards.
Though teleprinters have been replaced by other technologies, TDDs (Telecommunications Devices for the Deaf), which are based on the idea and design of teletypes, are still used these days.
Not all people who are deaf, hard of hearing, or speech-impaired have switched to using instant messaging or texting or other modern services.
Many still type messages back and forth to one another by TDD.

Alcalá de Henares is a city in the Community of Madrid, Spain.
It is thirty kilometres from Madrid.
It has about 200,000 people.
There is a university.
Miguel de Cervantes, an important Spanish writer, the author of the "Don Quixote", was born there.
The alpine newt (Ichthyosaura alpestris) is an amphibian.
It is a  Salamander (Urodela or Caudata).
The alpine newt is one of five newts in Germany.
Early in the year, alpine newts mate.
During that time, the males have a blue color on their sides but not too much to overlap their white-black-spotted flank.
Their belly is a bright orange.
The females are more camouflaged to their marshy environment.
They are a mottled brown with barely visible, black spots.
The biggest of the males can reach up to nine, and the females up to twelve centimeters in length.
After the mating season, they return to their natural color of the mottled brown.
Life and habitat
The alpine newt typically lives in forests with good access to water in hilly to mountainous regions.
They are mostly absent in forest-poor areas.
They often occur   in thick deciduous forests, as well as parland and natural gardens.
Outside the spawning season, the Alpine Newt is a land animal.
During the day it stays in all kinds of undergrowth, but during the mating season in cool water (forest pools, artificial pools).
After the adults come out of winter dormancy, the alpine newts immediately take themselves to the spawning pools.
Endangerment
After a steep decrease in the alpine newt population in the 1960s-70s, they have recovered their numbers a bit.
Surveillance in the surrounding area of Cologne (approximately 50m above sea level) showed an increase in alpine newt numbers, but the numbers of newts in breeding pools seemed to decline.
In home gardens, newts are settling in pools in which there may be a high reproduction rate.
If fish are in these ponds, the population will be completely wiped out.
However, a small pool of 150 litres volume had more than 60 alpine newt tadpoles of different sizes at the beginning of July 2003.
They were likely spawned from just one female.
The alpine newt has been usually placed into the Triturus genus.
García-París | display-authors = etal split the genus Triturus into three, and placed the alpine newt into its own genus Mesotriton.
Also the subspecies T. a. inexpectatus was elevated to species status.
However this split has not been completely accepted yet.
Originally 9 subspecies of the alpine newt were recognized.

A differential equation is a mathematical equation that involves variables like x or y, as well as the rate at which those variables change.
Differential equations are special because the solution of a differential equation is itself a function instead of a number.
In applications of mathematics, problems often arise in which the dependence of one parameter on another is unknown, but it is possible to write an expression for the rate of change of one parameter relative to another (derivative).
In this case, the problem is reduced to finding a function by its derivative related to some other expressions.
Types of Differential Equations
If a differential equation only involves x and its derivative, the rate at which x changes, then it is called a first order differential equation.
A higher-order differential equation has derivatives of other derivatives.
If there are more variables than just x and y, then it is said to be a partial differential equation.
Sometimes, something in the world will obey several differential equations at the same time.
These are said to be modeled by coupled differential equations.
Some differential equations can be solved exactly, and some cannot.
Sometimes one can only be estimated, and a computer program can  do this very fast.
Although they may seem overly-complicated to someone who has not studied differential equations before, the people who use differential equations tell us that they would not be able to figure important things out without them.
Most scientists and engineers (as well as mathematicians) take at least one course in differential equations while in college.
Some mathematicians devote their career to investigating differential equations that are difficult to solve.

This larger size allows substances to boil freely inside a boiling tube.
The 1982 Atlantic hurricane season was a yearly event of tropical cyclones in the Atlantic Ocean.
The season officially started on June 1, 1982, and ended on November 30, 1982.
Six named storms formed during the season, along with 2 hurricanes.
Hurricane Alberto
A tropical depression formed off western Cuba on June 1 from an group of organized thunderstorms.
It moved slowly northeastward through the Gulf of Mexico, and strengthened into Tropical Storm Alberto on June 3.
Alberto travelled usually northeast on an unpredictable course and for a hort time, strengthened to a Category 1 hurricane, one of the earliest hurricanes of June.
Alberto then quickly weakened back into a tropical storm, moved back to the west, and died near the Florida Keys, Florida, on June 6.
Though the storm never made landfall, Alberto killed 23 people in Cuba from heavy flooding.
Southern Florida saw fair rainfall, with a maximum of 16.47 inches occurring in Tavernier.
Subtropical Storm One
The first subtropical storm of the season formed in the eastern part of the Gulf of Mexico on June 18, and took an almost straight path to the northeast for its whole life.
It crossed the Florida peninsula that night, causing an issue of several severe thunderstorm and tornado warnings.
The storm continued, crossing the Outer Banks of North Carolina, and kept its strength until June 20 when it became extratropical near Newfoundland.
Beryl became a tropical storm on August 28 while southeast of the Cape Verde islands.
The tropical storm travelled slowly west-northwest, while once coming close to hurricane strength.
While midway across the Atlantic on September 2, it weakened to a tropical depression.
The depression continued west until its circulation collapsed on September 6, just north of the Windward Islands.
Beryl killed 115 people in the Cape Verde islands.
Though the Cape Verde islands are usually not affected by hurricanes, another tropical storm, Fran, hit the islands in 1984, killing 31 people.
A non-tropical low formed on September 8 in the Gulf of Mexico.
It moved west, and the next day it became into a subtropical depression.
Under the control of another low pressure system, the depression turned north, and after slowly becoming better organized it strengthened into Tropical Storm Chris on September 10.
The storm had maximum sustained winds of 65 mph  (100 km/h) before moving onto land near Sabine Pass in Louisiana.
Chris continued to move inland until it died over central Arkansas on September 13.
Just before Chris  made landfall, as many as 6,500 people moved out from southern Louisiana, while many oil workers moved inland.
Chris caused a total of $2 million (1982 USD) in damages.
Hurricane Debby
Debby began as a tropical wave that collapsed shortly after leaving the coast of Africa.
The wave travelled across the Atlantic, and became a tropical depression off the northern coast of Haiti on September 13.
The depression turned north and strengthened into a tropical storm and then a hurricane.
Hurricane Debby moved north-northeast, affecting Bermuda with tropical storm-force winds.
It continued strengthening as it moved north, peaking at 135 mph (220 km/h).
Tropical storm-force winds were also recorded at Cape Race in Newfoundland when Debby passed by on September 18.
The storm began to speed up and weaken over the colder waters of the north Atlantic.
Debby combined itself with a strong non-tropical system over the British Isles on September 20.
The tropical disturbance that eventually formed Debby dropped heavy rainfall across Puerto Rico, peaking at 12.86 inches in the southwestern part of the island.
Debby was known to cause only minor damages that was related to the storm.
Tropical Storm Ernesto
A tropical wave formed off the coast of Africa on September 23.
The westeren part of the wave grew bigger and was called Tropical Depression Six on September 30.
The depression strengthened, and made a sharp turn on October 1.
An Air Force plane found 40 mph winds with a pressure of 1003 mbar and the depression was given the name Ernesto.
A second Air Force plane on October 2 found 70 mph winds with a pressure of 997 mbar.
By October 3, Ernesto was no longer recognized after combining itself with an extratropical low.
Ernesto never came near land and caused no damages.

Yamoussoukro is the capital city of Côte d'Ivoire (The Ivory Coast).
About 200,000 people live in this city.
Yamoussoukro became the capital in 1983.
Abidjan was the capital before that.
History of Yamoussoukro
Before the Second World War, Yamoussoukro was a small city.
It was mainly made up of farms.
In 1964, the president of Côte d'Ivoire decided to make Yamoussoukro the capital because it was where he grew up.
In 1983, Yamoussoukro became the capital of Ivory Coast.
In 1990, the Pope opened the biggest church in the world.
It is called Basilica of Our Lady of Peace of Yamoussoukro.
In 2004, Yamoussoukro's airport was attacked by France because airplanes from that airport had killed 9 people from France.
Important things in Yamoussoukro
Yamoussoukro is famous for the biggest church in the world, The Basilica of Our Lady of Peace of Yamoussoukro.
Also, it is very tall.
Bloemfontein is one of the three capital cites of South Africa.
It is the judicial capital of South Africa, as the Supreme Court is there.
In Afrikaans and Dutch, Bloemfontein means "Spring of Bloem (Bloom)".
It is also known as the city of roses.
There are a lot of flowers in Bloemfontein.
Bloemfontein was founded by Major H. Douglas Warden in 1846.
It was created as both a fort and a place to live.
It became the center of government of the British-controlled Orange River Sovereignty (1848–54) and of the Orange Free State (later known as just Free State).
Bloemfontein became the judicial capital of South Africa in 1910.
It is a place where the government works.
It has a lot of hospitals and schools.
Bloemfontein is in central South Africa.
It is dry in this part of South Africa.
There are a few hills around Bloemfontein.
Grass mostly grows around Bloemfontein.
The summers are hot, and the winters are cool, but it snowed in August 2006.
Much of the economy of the city is based on canned fruit, glass products, furniture, plastics, and railway engineering.
The city saw a large economic growth in the mid-20th century because of the Free State goldfields 160 km (100 mi) northeast of the city.
The Orange River project also helped the city grow economically.
It is a major source both of hydroelectricity and of water for irrigation and human uses.
The most popular sports in Bloemfontein are football, rugby, and cricket.
In 2010, Bloemfontein will host some FIFA World Cup matches, at Free State Stadium.

Dough is a thick, malleable and sometimes elastic paste made out of flour by mixing it with a small amount of water.
Dough can be used to make bread, pastries, cookies, muffins, and other foods.
In many parts of central India, people use the quick method of making an instant roasted dough ball or baati.
Flat, unleavened breads known as roti, lavash, yufka, matzo, and tortilla are used in many parts of the world today.
Leavened dough, made from dry, ground grains mixed with water and yeast, is used all over the world.
It includes all kinds of breads made from wheat, maize, rice and other grains or similar crops used today in the world.
Fried dough foods are common in many cultures.
In the United States, "elephant ears" is a common name for fried dough.
A muffin is a small bread- or cake-like baked food.
Muffins are similar to cupcakes: they have round bases, rounded tops, and are usually sweet, but there are also savory kinds (like cornbread muffins).
A muffin can also mean a different baked food, the smaller, disk-shaped English muffin, although this is not common outside Britain.
In Britain, the term can mean either type of muffin.
Muffins can also have extra ingredients to its flavour, such as blueberries or chocolate chips.
Muffins are usually eaten at breakfast but can be eaten at any other meal.
It is usually served with tea.
An English muffin (known as a muffin or breakfast muffin in the United Kingdom) is a round, flat bread made from a dough with yeast and enriched with butter and milk.
It is often served toasted at breakfast in the UK, USA, Canada and Australia.
Cornbread or Johnny cake is a name for any number of "quick breads"- bread leavened chemically instead of by yeast- which has cornmeal.
As maize (also known as corn) is native to North America, the various kinds of cornbreads are more prevalent there.
In Italy, the corn-based mush known as polenta is sometimes fashioned into a fried form resembling cornbread.
A cupcake (also British English: fairy cake; Australian English: patty cake or cup cake,) is a small cake designed to be eaten by one person.
They are often baked in a small thin paper or aluminum cup.
Like larger cakes, frosting and other cake decorations, such as sprinkles, are common on cupcakes.
They are often sweet and include frosting.
Some specialized bakeries sell only cupcakes.
The first cupcake could be traced back to 1796.
A recipe for "a cake to be baked in small cups" was written in American Cookery by Amelia Simmons.
The earliest use of the term cupcake was in “Seventy-five Receipts for Pastry, Cakes, and Sweetmeats” in 1828 in Eliza Leslie's Recipes cookbook.
In the early 19th century, there were two different uses for the name cup cake or cupcake.
Before muffin tins were widely available, the cakes were often baked in individual pottery cups, ramekins, or molds.
They got their name from the cups they were baked in.
The name "fairy cake" is a description of its size.
It would be appropriate for a party of small fairies to share a fairy cake.
English fairy cakes vary in size more than American cupcakes.
They are normally smaller and are rarely topped with much icing.
The other kind of "cup cake" referred to a cake whose ingredients were measured by volume.
They were measured using a standard-sized cup instead of being weighed.
Recipes with ingredients that were measured using a standard-sized cup could also be baked in cups.
They were more commonly baked in tins.
In later years, when the use of volume measurements was more used in home kitchens, these recipes became known as 1234 cakes or quarter cakes.
They were called this because they are made up of four ingredients: one cup of butter, two cups of sugar, three cups of flour, and four eggs.
They are plain yellow cakes that are less rich and less expensive than pound cake.
This is because they use about half as much butter and eggs compared to pound cake.
The names of these two major classes of cakes were to tell the baker whether to measure by volume or weight.
Curry (from Tamil kari) is the English word for any of a general variety of spiced dishes, best known in Indian, Bangladeshi, Sri Lankan, Indonesian, Malaysian, Pakistani, Thai, and other South Asian and Southeast Asian cuisines, though curry has been adopted into many other cuisines.
Curry first came from India.
The idea of curry was later brought to the West by British colonialists in India from the 18th century.
Dishes that are often called curries in Europe and America are rarely called curries in the native language.
Curry can also be found in the United Kingdom and Jamaica.
It is usually eaten with Basmati rice or naan, a type of flat bread.
A shore or shoreline is the land at the edge of a large body of water, such as an ocean or river.
Where the water is a sea, the shore is also called a "coast".
Shores are influenced by the topography of the surrounding landscape, as well as by erosion caused by water, such as waves.
The geological makeup of rock and soil controls the type of shore which is created.
Erosion of sedimentary soils can make a sandy or pebbly shore, usually called a beach.

Conflict unfolds in the Soul Society as Ichigo's group fight through the 13 Court Squads save Rukia, only to learn that everyone have been manipulated by Squad Five captain Sosuke Aizen who faked his death to cause disorder within the Soul Reapers.
Aizen reveals himself to masterminded Rukia's capture to acquire Kisuke's desire-granting invention, the Hogyoku, before he and his fellow conspirators escape into the Hollows' realm of Hueco Mundo.
Afterwards, Ichigo is accepted by the Soul Reapers and is made an official substitute Soul Reaper.
Ichigo and friends soon enter into escalating skirmishes with Aizen's army of humanoid Hollows, the Arrancars, while joined by the Vizards—Soul Reapers who were victims of Aizen's experiments in creating Soul Reaper/Hollow hybrids.
When Orihime is kidnapped by Ulquiorra Cifer of the Espadas, Aizen's 10 most powerful Arrancars, Ichigo and his allies mount a rescue operation that turned out to be a distraction as Aizen's forces appear in Karakura Town with intent of sacrifice the residents to create a key as part of Aizen's plan to reach and assassinate the Soul King who reigns over the Soul Society.
As the Vizards join the Soul Reapers defending the town, Aizen's conspirator Gin Ichimaru reals his true colors and attempts to kill Aizen.
But Aizen uses Hogyoku to become a Hollow-like being, killing Gin while overpowering everyone.
Ichigo ultimately subdues Aizen at the cost of his powers and reverts to a normal human.
Months later, Ichigo prepares for life after high school when he is approached by Xcution, a gang of Fullbringers like Chad, who exploit him and his love ones to siphon his own Fullbring abilities.
When Soul Society allies restore his Soul Reaper powers, Ichigo resolves to fight with them despite learning their apparent distrust when Xcution's leader Ginjo Kujo is revealed to be his predecessor.
Later, Ichigo faces an army of Quincies known as the Wandenreich who serve under their people's progenitor Yhwach, who declares war on the Soul Society with ever intent of eliminating the Soul King and dispute the balance of life and dead.
Ichigo, learning the full story of himself being a Visard with both Fullbring and Quincy powers, defeats Yhwach in an epic battle with aid from Uryu and his father.

Whyalla is a city on the Eyre Peninsula, on the shore of Spencers Gulf, South Australia.
Originally Whyalla acted as the port for the export of iron ore, then in order to obtain the renewal of the mining lease, BHP was forced by the then government of South Australia to build a blast furnace to smelt the ore into pig iron.
This eventually led to the establishment of steel making, and ship building industries, which were very active during the period 1960 - 1980.
The viability of these industries so far from markets had progressively declined, culminating in closure of many operations and a decline in the local population.
At its peak, during the mid 1980s, about 35,000 people lived there.
